	Organize your next insurrection with this phone.
	No one will know.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, July 15th, 2021.
	This is your award-winning Kimber Nation Media Assassination, episode 1364.
	This is No Agenda.
	Licking the honeypot and broadcasting live from the heart of Texas Hill Country, FEMA region number 6 in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I know that natural rubber's more important than I thought, I'm John C. DeVall.
	It's Crackblot and Buzzkill in the morning.
	Hey, you got that note too, huh?
	Well, you know, I looked into it.
	About the rubber supply chain.
	It turns out it's about 50-50.
	Rubber from trees versus synthetic.
	Well, in some situations, it was 50-50 for tires, and I did not know that.
	I thought tires were 100%.
	Artificial, but then the mention was that the reason for the natural rubber is because when radial tires were invented, which I think before that you were using more petroleum-based rubber, because of the nature of a radial tire, which is what all the tires are now, you need a little more flexibility than we've been able to create artificially.
	And aircraft tires are 100% natural rubber.
	I did not know that.
	I have a rubber update.
	A rubber date.
	Thomas says, get my car worked on.
	Mechanics are saying that oil filters and gaskets are in short supply.
	Some oil filters haven't been in supply for the past three months.
	The gaskets use rubber, which they say is because of the rubber shortage, they don't have enough gaskets.
	I've run into this.
	You can still get oil filters, but you have to spend money for the high-end ones.
	And in today's world, you should be using synthetic oil and high-end oil filters anyway, as opposed to the cheap ones they give you when you do an oil change.
	Yeah.
	At Jiffy.
	At the Jiffy Lube.
	Get a Mobile One oil filter, for example.
	They're still around.
	I'm sure you can buy one.
	The Jiffy Lube.
	Never a good idea.
	Well, let me...
	Well, no, they do it.
	They do the job, but they cheap up on the oil filter.
	Before we get to the 3x3, which I know you're raring and ready to go, just want to stick with two short ones on supply chain since we're here.
	The first one, you will take note, Union Pacific has suspended inbound international container shipments to Chicago for a week.
	Yeah.
	Did you know that?
	I did know that, as a matter of fact.
	And the one thing, as I read through these articles, I never got the why.
	Oh, I have it.
	So the embargo scheduled to begin Sunday night will help the railroad clear a container backlog at Global 4.
	The terminal is clogged largely due to reasons beyond the railroad's control.
	Labor shortages and pandemic-related restrictions have slowed unloading and loading of containers at customers' facilities.
	And it says this has led to a shortage of chassis and dryage capacity during a period of high demand.
	And I guess the reporter looked into this to make sure that was on the up and up because they were doing this before and during the pandemic.
	They were unloading and loading, but now all of a sudden there's an employee shortage.
	You are a troublemaker.
	Shut up and read the copy.
	Shut up and read the copy.
	These are the questions you're supposed to ask.
	I don't know if this is a supply chain issue per se, but I once learned when I was flying with Captain Dan in the UK... When there's a problem with the fuel supply at an airport, it usually means the airport's about to go out of business.
	...Burlington International Airport are now fueled up and taking off.
	A fuel shortage this weekend grounded planes and frustrated travelers.
	Kayla Martin takes a closer look at what caused the shortage and what's being done to prevent it from happening again.
	There's a lot of pieces to this situation.
	One piece of the puzzle was that a barge didn't arrive with an expected delivery of fuel in Albany.
	That fuel should have been tracked to Burlington.
	Another issue is a lack of fuel drivers.
	As well as some unexpected cancellations of that delivery of fuel that happened on Saturday.
	Doesn't sound good at all.
	And one of our producers, um...
	I don't know if he's a dentist or a doctor.
	Maybe neither.
	I don't know.
	Anonymous, for sure.
	In Philadelphia, one of his patients works within the coal industry and said...
	And I guess they were talking about the grid.
	I'm sure he was laying some no-agenda smack on him.
	I saw the guys talking back.
	He's in the coal industry.
	He says, it's unbelievable we have electricity in Philadelphia at all.
	They only have one day's worth of coal on any given day.
	As opposed to months or sometimes years of supply.
	They're just not getting it in time.
	One day.
	They're getting it in time.
	Right.
	Well, point made, city manager.
	You're good to go.
	Holy crap.
	Now it's time for 3x3.
	It's going to be good, everybody.
	Don't worry.
	Experiment by JCD. The world will not win.
	Comparing stories from ABC, CBS, and NBC. The never-ending 3x3.
	Ah, don't worry.
	The world is going to be fine.
	Because we have the 3x3, which means the most important news of the day on every single Thursday.
	The second one of the week is brought to you by John C. Devorak, who watched this morning before his workday started.
	You know that jingle?
	I think about when I'm doing the 3x3, that jingle comes to my mind.
	I can't get rid of it.
	It's a real earworm.
	I know.
	Whoever did that jingle, it sounds like, you know, any number of more...
	He should be banned!
	He should be banned for giving you an earworm!
	Earworm.
	Okay, so I went and did the 3x3, and it was interesting because of this geopolitics of what CBS, the CIA broadcasting system, did.
	What they did, compared to the other two networks, which were dreck, was...
	Brought back memories of the Obama administration.
	And when I tell you about what they did...
	Aren't we an Obama admin three as we are?
	It sure looks like it by this.
	But let's start with what they did on the other two networks.
	Okay.
	He's the third one.
	All right.
	Today's show had just two people interviewing these two Chip and Joanna Graves or Grimes or Graves, I don't know their names.
	I think it's Grimes.
	Grimes, the Fixer Uppers.
	They do a couple of Fixer Uppers shows on H&G. Yeah, wait, wait, they're from Waco.
	Oh, okay.
	Yeah.
	Well, you would know that.
	And they went gushing all over, but the guy's got long hair now, and oh my God, are you going to cut the hair?
	And they go on and on and on, and they just go on and on and on.
	That guy turned to one to the other, and they're still on, these two people.
	They got a new show, I guess NBC's doing something with them.
	Well, who owns HGTV? I don't know.
	I didn't care because I don't care about these two people.
	I never heard of them.
	They just kept them on and yuck, yuck, yuck.
	So, it's got to be better over there at the GMA Good Morning America.
	Well, CBS was promoting their product.
	Home and Garden is owned by Disney.
	Well, that was on...
	I know.
	That's what I'm saying.
	That was NBC. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
	NBC is promoting the Disney Channel.
	Yeah.
	Idiots.
	Someone's going to get fired.
	That is idiots.
	Unless maybe there's going to be a merger and acquisition.
	I don't know.
	Okay, so let's go to ABC. And this I've noticed is a number of these 3x3s.
	They go on, they have the one girl, the giggly one, who's the...
	Who does the celebrity news.
	She's off in Massachusetts talking about the Brimfield, Massachusetts flea market.
	And then they go on to just a terrible promotion for tourism in Massachusetts.
	Oh, we've got all 107 colleges.
	I got that out of there.
	There's 107 colleges in Massachusetts with 400,000 students.
	Did they mention it's a lower vaccination rate than any of the southern red states?
	I'm sorry.
	I meant higher.
	I'm sorry.
	I meant higher.
	A lower death rate.
	Better.
	They're doing better is what I'm saying.
	Now, you know what?
	I didn't watch the whole thing, so I'm sure it was in there.
	Because they had a black president of Holy Cross.
	They had to bring him in.
	Because he's the first black president.
	He's the first non-priest president of Holy Cross.
	And they're talking to him very...
	You know, he's talking about...
	He's just promoting the tourism.
	All they did, it was a promotion.
	They got paid for it.
	Boom.
	So, I switch over to CBS. And they got the A-team is back with Anthony Mason and Gale and whoever else instead of the blonde, who I did find out who she was from L.A. Um...
	I want to play this clip, which is what they're talking about.
	This is FBI and Nassar.
	This is an NPR report.
	Hold on a second.
	I wasn't prepared.
	There's typically no clip in the 3x3.
	Here we are.
	The Justice Department's watchdog says the FBI mishandled sex abuse allegations against jailed former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar.
	The inspector general's report finds that senior officials in the Indianapolis field office were slow to respond to the accusations first recorded in 2015.
	Three years later, Nassar began serving a 60-year sentence for abusing hundreds of women and girls.
	What does that mean, technically?
	Technicality?
	He's getting off?
	No, he's still in jail.
	Okay.
	Well, let's hold on.
	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
	Weird.
	Eight-car Zephyr with no dome, with no observation car.
	No dome, ladies and gentlemen, but it is an eight-car Zephyr.
	Steady as she goes.
	Expect no bumps, despite what Powell said this morning.
	Or let them over at the Squawk Box on CNBC. Bitcoin, $31,872.
	Oh, my God!
	Woo!
	Listen to that horn!
	I'd like to know the point of not having the car there that you can see out the windows.
	Okay, so this report came out.
	They played it down on NPR. No.
	CBS, and I watched this, and it was devastating.
	They brought this pretty blonde who's in tears the whole time, Jessica Howard, an ex-gymnast.
	Mm-hmm.
	In fact, Gayle says, I was worried about you in the green room because she was just a wreck.
	And she went on about this report and they went by how what a shitty job the FBI did.
	Now again, now this is what reminded me, wait a minute, we're looking at the CIA broadcasting system and now remember the olden days back in the Obama administration?
	You and I talked about the CIA versus the FBI? Yeah, of course.
	It's still that way.
	It's really that way when you see this report.
	Holy mackerel.
	Oh, yes.
	They're getting too much heat.
	Time to refocus a little bit.
	Jessica went on and on and on about the miserable situation.
	How come only one guy's in jail?
	There's a bunch of people that were doing this.
	It was terrible.
	And Anthony Mason throws one at her.
	Would you think the agents should be indicted that passed on this?
	And she goes on about how they passed on it.
	They had solid evidence in the FBI.
	Who cares, dumb chicks?
	It was pretty much the way they seemed to be handled.
	Wow.
	And Jessica says, yes, some FBI agents need to be indicted and probably go to jail.
	Ha, ha, ha.
	Well, this comes amidst, you know, there's now, I think, proof that 12 of the people who were apparently going to kidnap Governor Whitmer were informants.
	Six people were arrested, but 12 were FBI informants.
	Yeah, the whole thing was an FBI scheme.
	Yeah, or maybe a dry run for something else.
	I don't know.
	You know?
	Well, this thing on CBS, and it went on for quite a while with this Jessica Howard woman, who was half in tears, and she's really pretty, but she was just a wreck.
	And she couldn't understand how this happened.
	And she also made the comment that, I do not trust government institutions anymore.
	Mm-hmm.
	I mean, this was a devastating segment on CBS. It was a shocker to me to watch.
	Well, you know, the CIA has been so busy disrupting Cuba, Haiti, and South Africa.
	It's like, hey, go look at those guys for a bit.
	Well, some is up with this.
	I'm telling you.
	Good catch.
	Good catch.
	FBI. Well, the FBI, their roots are sex fiend spy dudes.
	That's their roots.
	That's where they come from.
	It's time to, I think, completely get rid of that and start something new.
	That's just me.
	Well, that's not going to happen.
	Let's start with that.
	But they could get their act together.
	It wouldn't hurt if they were due to...
	I mean, they do good work here and there, but then something like this where they completely drop the ball and then cover it up is not a good look.
	Wow.
	So that was the 3x3.
	I mean, that's really a 1x2.
	A 1x2x2.
	Wow, that's insane.
	One was a paid-for tourism ad.
	The other one was just dumb.
	Well, I typically...
	And by the way, the Today Show is falling behind.
	The Today Show really is the low-hanging fruit.
	It stinks.
	Do they still have Carson Daly on?
	Maybe.
	I don't know.
	Carson Davis on Water.
	He may be on the Today Show.
	It's not a good product.
	No.
	He should get rid of him.
	Savannah, she's done.
	She's old news now.
	I mean, I'm just talking like a TV executive.
	The whole team needs to go on the Today Show.
	And Roker, too, by the way.
	He's got to go.
	I don't even know if that's actually him.
	I think it's a body double.
	They've replaced Fat Roker with him a long time ago, so his legacy could continue.
	I don't typically do an OTG in the first hour of the show, but I think it's necessary because something happened yesterday that I was just, whoa, what the hell is this honey trap?
	And I've always liked Candace Owens.
	I think she's a straight shooter.
	This is funny you brought this up because that one kind of...
	I saw all this.
	I saw everything you've got.
	And it didn't strike me as a honey trap or any sort of a scam or anything.
	I just thought it was just somebody trying to take advantage of...
	And I didn't even know how she went.
	What has she got to do with it?
	That doesn't...
	That's what really gets...
	She's promoting it.
	She's promoting it with a coupon code.
	Parler is in bed with this outfit.
	Procebic.
	Jack Procebic tweeting with a code.
	So there's some huge money that's come in to buy all of these influencers.
	Buy influence.
	Yeah.
	But we just...
	We need to listen to some of this.
	Candace Owens, she went all...
	I'll just set up the premise.
	A Bitcoin, the youngest Bitcoin millionaire ever, we'll get to him in a minute, has done something for love of God and country and created the Freedom Phone, which is the first non-Google, non-Apple-controlled smartphone.
	And this is your Freedom Phone.
	No tracking.
	I mean, it's beautiful.
	Nothing will ever happen.
	So they said, make your own phone!
	I went out and I did it, and I brought you this phone.
	And then I went out and I bought all of this...
	And Candace Owens, I will say right now, she needs to distance herself from this publicly right away because it's going to hurt her credibility enormously.
	Listen.
	Okay, Instagram, I'm sorry I cried out like a dirtbag today, but I'm super excited.
	It's a very, very big day.
	Okay, where do I even start?
	I guess I'll start from the beginning, which is that when Parler got taken out of the App Store, if you're like me, you're just so This, by the way, is the whole pitch.
	The whole pitch happened.
	Parley's taken out of the app store.
	Trump is taken off social media.
	Everyone's like, oh, my God, Big Tech's a problem.
	Big Tech's so bad.
	I'm going to hate Big Tech.
	We got to fight Big Tech censorship.
	Big Tech, Big Tech, Big Tech.
	And nobody actually does anything.
	And Congress does nothing.
	And, you know, me, I'm suing the Facebook fact checkers.
	I take on every single fight.
	My husband, after January 6th, not before, after, we contacted the people that were running Parler and said, how can we help?
	Notice, after, after.
	We want any part of Parler of the insurrection before, after, after.
	And so my husband's on the CEO of Parler.
	Like, where do people not complain people?
	So I put out basically a call to everyone, and I said, we need to have a phone that is made that is not controlled by Apple or Google.
	And, you know, I notoriously tweeted, we need Elon Musk to make the e-phone.
	Notoriously tweeted!
	And a bunch of people contacted me, my husband, and said, we're making a phone, we're making a phone, and it's not going to be controlled by Apple or Google.
	And I would say, Kay, you talk a big game, send us the phones.
	So some of them were absolutely terrible, some of them were even worse than terrible.
	Finally, we got a phone, and I've never seen her do an OTG segment, but I believe it.
	I cannot be more excited about it, and I'm telling you today...
	Hold on, stop.
	She's a chatterbox a couple of things.
	First of all, right at the beginning, she lost me with the term super excited.
	Because it's an influencer script, totally.
	This is super excited.
	So the second thing that gets me is that Let's stop for one second.
	Don't you have a phone that is like off the grid and available?
	Well, yes.
	This is why I'm so interested because this is something I happen to know about.
	Don't we have a guy that does these phones?
	I'm not a doctor, but damn it, I'm an OTGer, Jim.
	Yeah.
	Don't we have an OTG? Have we been doing this for like over a year?
	No.
	I have been living OTG life for six years, maybe a little longer.
	Okay, but we've been doing this segment for at least a year?
	Yes.
	Maybe two?
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Longer.
	Longer than that.
	So we have, as you like to say, as we pointed out, we have standing in the field.
	Yes.
	We're outstanding in the field.
	And there's weeds under my feet.
	So, did you know about this before this all started?
	No, no, no, of course.
	Oh, okay.
	Just to make sure that, because she's so thorough.
	Yes.
	Checking everything.
	Okay, okay, let's continue with that premise that, you know, this is...
	Nonsense.
	Go on.
	I'm telling you, today you need to get this phone.
	I am so on board with this.
	I said I want to be the biggest spokesperson for this phone.
	Just, by the way, give me some credit.
	I have been on social media for four years.
	You've been following me for four years.
	I have never, ever once, think about how big this is, pitched a product at you.
	So she's pitching us a product.
	She is not selling us freedom or selling us safety.
	She's pitching us a product out of her own mouth.
	Absolutely.
	Never.
	Not once.
	I've never.
	I have sponsors coming to me all the time.
	I don't pitch any products.
	I'm not here to be an Instagram celebrity and be like, oh my god, let me get your tummy tea.
	If it does not help save the nation, I don't pitch.
	I love her voice.
	I have to give her credit, that little voice she does.
	It's good.
	It reminds me of what Liza Schlesinger said.
	Yeah.
	That reptile voice she does.
	But she's literally saying, no, no, sponsors ask me to pitch products all the time.
	No, I don't pitch products.
	But for this sponsor, she did.
	I have sponsors coming to me all the time.
	I don't pitch any products.
	I'm not here to be an Instagram celebrity and be like, oh my god, let me get your tummy tea.
	If it does not help save the nation, I don't pitch it.
	So I'm serious when I'm telling you to stop everything that you are doing and I'm holding in my hand, literally, a smartphone that is not controlled by Apple or Google.
	Okay, so think about this.
	This is like, let me just open it and not put my passcode on the freaking internet so that, you know, I'm not one of those idiots.
	So this is called the Freedom Phone.
	Cut down on the coffee!
	Alright, so the Freedom Phone is brought to you by this guy, Eric Finman, and I had to go back and look up his story.
	He had a great story.
	He said, I want to drop out of school.
	His parents said, well, only if you make a million dollars by age, whatever, 12, then you can drop out of school.
	And he took, you know, a thousand dollars his grandma gave him, and he turned that into...
	Several million dollars.
	We don't know exactly.
	But he eventually took off to LA, rented a Lambo.
	He was going to launch a shit coin in 2017.
	And oddly, he looks like a young Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak put in one.
	He's got the little goofy glasses you used to wear.
	Remember on the old stuff, the big glasses?
	Yeah.
	They're kind of goofy.
	They're kind of goofy now.
	Yeah, hipsters wear big old goofy glasses.
	They were fine back then.
	And he has kind of like an Adam Curry, you know, hair.
	And we'll just play as much as we can stomach because I immediately went, all right, Freedom OS, because it says Freedom OS built in.
	Freedom OS is a dead project that died four years ago.
	And then he has a trust logo, which as far as I know is something that belongs to Lineage OS. And he's showing a screen of all these deplatformed apps, and it has Parler, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook.
	No deplatformed apps that I'm seeing on the screen, but just listen to the pitch of this piece of crap, who I believe is probably too dumb, but they just...
	They just rolled up a huge network of criminals with cell phones that were sold to criminals, and this guy's pitching it to MAGA. He's pitching it to Trump supporters, to insurrectionists, and this has got to be the biggest honeypot ever.
	Name one time in history where the people who banned books, media, and opinions were the good guys.
	Hi, I'm Eric.
	I'm the world's youngest Bitcoin millionaire.
	I made it in Silicon Valley, and I've accomplished a lot in my life already.
	Did you ever interview him when he made it in Silicon Valley?
	What did he make in Silicon Valley?
	I'm going to give you this another pet peeve of mine.
	Google?
	Uh, Facebook?
	Twitter?
	Oh, high-tech!
	High-tech millionaires!
	High-tech billionaires!
	This is not high-tech!
	Intel's high-tech!
	Apple's high-tech!
	Microsoft's high-tech!
	The social network, social media, and search engines are not high-tech!
	This is all internet related.
	It's got nothing to do with high tech.
	There's no tech.
	Did he say high tech?
	I don't think he said high tech.
	No, no.
	This is a pet peeve of mine.
	You're starting to see it.
	All these high tech guys.
	All the high tech is dominant.
	High tech, high tech.
	They're censoring us.
	High tech, high tech.
	This guy's saying it's Silicon Valley.
	Owning Bitcoin's got nothing to do with Silicon Valley.
	Running a social network's got nothing to do with Silicon Valley.
	It's got nothing to do with tech.
	Tech is chips.
	Oh my god.
	That is a bumper sticker.
	Tech is chips.
	I like it.
	Okay, networking, I'll give it a little credit.
	So I'll give Google some.
	That's because they have a network system of how to do the search engines.
	So it's tech, a little techie.
	The rest of it, no, there's no tech at Twitter.
	I don't know, man.
	Servers?
	You haven't been watching Twit enough because tech is phones, bro.
	It's new phones.
	Oh, let's go back to this guy.
	Your point is made.
	I'm sorry.
	No.
	But I'm sorry I went off to just a little...
	I just want to get that out of the way.
	And this guy is not Silicon Valley.
	But now, I'm leaving big tech to fight for free speech.
	Because the big tech overlords are violating your privacy, censoring your...
	If he made it, why is he not an overlord?
	...speech.
	And I think that's so wrong.
	Wrong!
	That's why I created the Freedom Phone.
	Oh, I did it.
	In its uncensorable app store.
	Everyone is complaining about big tech censorship, but no one is doing anything about it.
	They say, build your own phone.
	So I did.
	Freedom Phone truly is the best phone in the world.
	It does everything your current phone does, except censor you and spy on you.
	With the Freedom Phone...
	Your freedom of speech is our number one priority.
	That's why we built our own app store that is completely uncensored.
	If an app you love has been banned from the mainstream app stores, you can still download it on ours.
	Again, he's showing nothing that's been banned.
	Because we don't ban apps, period.
	And we've developed the first operating system based on your free speech.
	There's no app tracking.
	It It's an operating system based on my free speech.
	Really?
	And they don't ban any apps?
	I wonder about the, let's see, Stormfront's Juice Spotter app.
	Ha!
	Is that gonna get banned, I wonder?
	John, you may want to remove that from your phone, just as a precaution.
	And we've developed the first operating system based on your free speech.
	There's no app tracking, no keyboard tracking, and no location tracking.
	Because I believe in your security.
	How do we ensure you're being protected?
	Say hello to Trust.
	Trust is totally something from Lineage OS. But the thing is, nothing on their website.
	Nowhere is there a GitHub or any repository, anything about the code.
	This is the thing that I've learned.
	I use Graphene OS. But besides that, besides the OS, these...
	Look very similar to a piece of crap Chinese smartphone you can get off of AliExpress.
	I mean, the whole outside, the camera placement, everything looks exactly the same.
	There is some little note that says, hardware not made in the USA. So if it's not a honeypot for the CIA, well, you know what else is going to be in there.
	Our privacy guard is designed to warn you whenever an app or a website is tracking you and gives you the option to stop it.
	Your data, your rules.
	That's our motto.
	Freedom Phone is comparable to the best smartphones on the market.
	It has an edge-to-edge screen, a super fast processor, and...
	A super fast processor.
	Every single person in every company will tell you how many gigahertz it runs.
	And how many cores.
	Yeah.
	Exactly.
	Super fast, man.
	The Freedom Phone is comparable to the best smartphones on the market.
	It has an edge-to-edge screen, a super fast processor, and multiple cameras.
	And your SIM card transfers into the Freedom Phone seamlessly.
	Big tech companies hold a monopoly on public communication and the dissemination of information.
	And they are abusing that power.
	Nobody elected Mark or Jack to be the arbiters of truth in America.
	And how is your freedom phone going to stop Zach and Jack from stopping your free speech on their platforms, douche?
	If they still thought it was okay to ban a sitting president from their platforms, if they censor a president, it will censor anyone.
	Imagine if Mark Zuckerberg censored MLK or Abraham Lincoln.
	The course of history would have been altered forever.
	Out of all the constitutional amendments, there's a reason why the founding fathers made the right to free speech the very first.
	I believe you have a voice that deserves to be heard without being censored.
	Protect yourself from big tech censorship.
	Let your voice be heard.
	Live free with the Freedom Phone.
	Free with a freedom phone.
	Okay, a couple of things.
	I want to say, okay, yes.
	I just need to get something out.
	I challenge this jamoke to a duel.
	A duel of the OTG death.
	I will debate this a-hole anytime, anywhere about his freedom phone.
	Yeah, well, a couple of things.
	One, you're too harsh on this guy.
	Ah!
	You're too harsh, you're harshing on him.
	Wow.
	You call him an a-hole.
	The guy is selling something.
	He's just a pitch man.
	And he's doing, I think, a really credible job of it.
	I think he's got the right things.
	He's got a couple of codes in there which kind of make me step back a bit.
	For one thing, who refers to Martin Luther King as MLK? FBI, maybe?
	Script writers.
	Yes, yes.
	You're saying he's so dumb he doesn't know what he's doing?
	Is that what you're saying?
	No, I think he's so smart.
	He knows exactly what he's doing.
	He's part of some scheme.
	And I think he's doing a really credible job of it.
	And he's suckered all these other people into getting involved.
	I mean, I'm looking at him as a masterful sales guy.
	Yeah, but I'm not saying he's not doing a good job and that the campaign isn't dynamite.
	I'm saying this guy is doing some evil stuff.
	As opposed to what other sales guys you're talking about?
	Well, the problem is, you see who he's targeting this to.
	You see who is targeted by the FBI. Who is being targeted by the FBI? Not liking it.
	I don't like the term MLK, which is...
	That's a good catch.
	That's a very good catch.
	I completely missed that one.
	You were so right on.
	That's actually the tell of the video.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, especially a kid like that.
	And this youngest, you know, I've seen these other pitch guys come out.
	I'm the youngest millionaire, blah, blah, blah.
	Bull crap.
	We have no proof of this.
	This guy's a stooge for someone, but he's good.
	I think he's got talent.
	I haven't seen him.
	I might get offended.
	You were offended by looking at him.
	I never get to see his face.
	I think you have to see him to appreciate it.
	Yeah, that's probably true, but I'm just listening.
	Yeah.
	But yeah, this is a bullshit operation, and there's no way this phone is as good as the one you have, which you...
	Yes, noagendaphone.com for information on how to do it yourself, or you can even have our guy do it.
	If you don't trust it, you can do it yourself.
	It's not that hard.
	What was the URL again?
	noagendaphone.com Yeah, much better.
	Yeah.
	I just wanted to get it out now.
	But I think you're right.
	Candace Owens, really, this was dumb.
	She needs to distance herself right away.
	This is the problem with people that aren't in tech.
	Tech.
	High tech.
	I'm always in high tech.
	They don't know what the sales pitches are like and how phony they are and how 90% of it's a giant scam.
	Well, I just wanted to get it out because this thing caught fire.
	Candace Owens has a lot of influence, and so does Jack Prosobiec.
	And these guys, I mean, I just can't believe that they got snookered into it.
	Unless it was a gob of money with a great story.
	And it feels to me, because one of the launch partners who are also promoting it, this is a Parler job.
	Somehow Parler funded it, and oh crap, who's funding Parler again?
	Who?
	Oh, isn't it?
	Soros?
	No, no, no, no, no.
	No.
	Come on, chat.
	It's a family.
	It's a family who are rich family or rich people.
	Oh, that rich family guy.
	Yeah.
	That's the name of a new TV sitcom.
	Rich family guy.
	It's that rich family guy.
	Oh, is Dan Bongino pushing this too?
	Please tell me he's not doing that.
	Oh, Rebecca Mercer.
	The Mercers!
	Oh, the Mercers.
	Yeah, the Mercers.
	This has dumb, rich person written all over it.
	Yeah, but it's also, you're right, I think it's also got some agency aspects to it.
	If it's not one of the U.S. agencies, then for sure it's going to be, it's something Chinese.
	Oh, China's sending the phones for sure.
	Yeah, they're sending them out.
	No doubt about that.
	Yeah, I mean, they might as well just put big MAGA phone on it, you know.
	Organize your next insurrection with this phone.
	No one will know.
	Oh, man.
	It just really got me.
	I was so taken aback.
	I mean, this would have been a D-block segment if it weren't for Candace Owens.
	Jeez, Louise.
	What are you going to do?
	We're the last of the honest people.
	The last honest men.
	Yeah.
	Yep.
	Are we the last, one of the last few honest men?
	Yeah, I'm getting the, in media.
	Yeah, I think you're right.
	Unless someone can point someone else out.
	I mean, yeah, there's one or two guys here and there, but I don't know.
	Well, we are, without a doubt, lucky to be in broadcasting to you from the United States where, you know, you can still be seen as maybe having some facts or some truth.
	New Zealand, and this came in early this week, I'm sure you've seen it.
	It just has to be played to understand the level of derangement that some leaders, also known as elected officials, are going to in their brain.
	And this is Jacinda, the Prime Minister of New Zealand.
	Did you see this, where she's talking about truth?
	Yes.
	No.
	Oh my goodness.
	I really hate this woman.
	Oh, me too.
	Me too.
	And you will despise her even more after this.
	We will share with you the most up-to-date information daily.
	You can trust us as a source of that information.
	You can also trust the Director General of Health and the Ministry of Health.
	For that information, do feel free to visit at any time to clarify any rumour you may hear, covid19.govt.nz.
	Otherwise, dismiss anything else.
	We will continue to be your single source of truth.
	We will provide information frequently.
	We will share everything we can.
	Everything you are, else you see, a grain of salt.
	And so I really ask people to focus on that.
	There's a gorgeous example of that appears to be this text which originated in Malaysia and has become a viral hoax in Australia and in New Zealand.
	How irresponsible is it that the people that are sharing that news of a lockdown imminent in New Zealand would And look, that's the kind of thing that adds to the anxiety that people feel.
	So I continue to share the message.
	New Zealanders must prepare, but do not panic.
	Prepare.
	And when you see those messages, remember that unless you hear it from us, it is not the truth.
	I really ask people, just visit covid19.govt.nz.
	It has all of the up-to-date information.
	And we will continue to provide everything you need to know.
	We have the truth, citizen.
	Only we have the truth.
	Nothing else is true.
	We have the truth.
	Go back to your homes.
	There will be no more lockdowns.
	Trust us, we have the truth.
	Man, we're the single source, by the way.
	She said single source of truth.
	I'm sorry.
	Citizens, a reminder, we are the single source of truth.
	Good day.
	Well, we've got a good one here, too.
	That's pretty good.
	No, no, this one's good because it's one of ours here in the U.S. And, you know, we talked about her, and she's now an MSNBC contributor, but I think we keep overlooking that this is the former president of Planned Parenthood, Lena Nguyen.
	And if you recall, when Cecile left Planned Parenthood, who I still like, despite that, you know...
	I'm surprised she never ran for president.
	She left, Lina Nguyen came in, and she's a doctor, and that didn't jive very well.
	Because she was saying stuff like, hey, you know, we should be doing like real medical stuff here and not just be aborting babies.
	And remember she was in for like six months and then she was out?
	Because she said something wrong.
	They kicked her out real fast.
	But then she's redeeming herself by making sure that the message goes out You shall get vaccinated or life's about to get real tough on you.
	I think this really depends on what it is that we do at this point.
	So now we have this Delta variant that is much more contagious.
	Because it's more contagious, it's going to be even harder for us to reach herd immunity.
	We're going to have to vaccinate an even higher proportion of people to get there.
	What happens then if we end up having another variant developing that's even more contagious, that could cause more disease, that could evade the protection of our immune system?
	And so how quickly we get this under control and which way we go depends on what we do now when it comes to vaccination, to overcoming disinformation.
	And what we really need to do at this point is to make vaccination the easy choice.
	It needs to be hard for people to remain unvaccinated.
	Right now it's kind of the opposite.
	I mean, it's easy if you're unvaccinated.
	You can do everything you want to do.
	But at some point, these mandates by workplaces, by schools, I think it will be important to say, hey, you can opt out.
	But if you want to opt out, you have to sign these forms.
	You have to get twice weekly testing.
	Basically, we need to make getting vaccinated the easy choice.
	That is what it's going to take for us to actually end the pandemic.
	Exactly what we said.
	They're going to do the passport, and they're going to make testing a real pain.
	They're going to try and make it expensive, so that the obvious way out...
	This is what you say.
	You've been saying this from day one, and I've been denying it.
	I have been...
	I gave you...
	Hey, I let you ride on my coattails, and you jumped off.
	That's crazy.
	Yeah, you tried that, but I'm still not buying it.
	I think this is just all bluster.
	You talk a big game, I don't see any evidence of anything happening.
	Okay, well, let me show you what's going on around the world.
	For Americans finally taking off for foreign skies, confusing and inconsistent rules.
	Some countries do want to see those CDC vaccination cards or a European equivalent.
	Others don't.
	Regardless of vaccine status, dozens of countries require a negative COVID test from a U.S. pharmacy, clinic or airport test site before passengers ever leave the U.S. Have you ever been hospitalized for COVID? No.
	At Dulles Airport in Washington, temperature checks and nasal swabs for passengers of all ages.
	The price varies depending on how quickly you want the results.
	$75 for two to three day results, up to $250 for results the same day.
	For a family of four, that can run $1,000.
	U.S. airlines constantly updating their mobile apps as countries constantly change their requirements, allowing passengers to upload their test results.
	United partnering with Abbott Labs and selling a $25 instant self-test kit so passengers can test themselves overseas on a video call with technicians, then board that return flight.
	Making it hard for people and boondoggle at the same time.
	Abbott Labs, we knew they were doing this.
	Well, a couple of things.
	First of all, as we witnessed the 3x3 earlier, these poor bastards, like in Massachusetts, Oregon had one of these, Washington State has, I've seen two, California, and I haven't seen any of those, but I'm in California.
	They're starving to death.
	They can't get anyone to travel.
	The tourist money In the world, it's huge.
	It's billions.
	It probably approaches a trillion dollars in cash flow.
	And if they're going to just make it tougher for everyone to travel, I don't care.
	You know, I've seen Paris a lot.
	I don't need to go to Paris.
	Well, I'm glad you bring up Paris because you're not going to go anymore.
	As people were protesting in the streets...
	Hundreds of thousands all across France.
	You didn't see that, but there's some video.
	Macron said, starting August, you will be required to show your vaccination pass for coffee shops, restaurants, supermarkets, hospitals, trains, and buses.
	Yeah, this is just perfect that he would do this around Bastille Day.
	They should bring the guillotine out and put him in it.
	When are the French people going to rise up against this a-hole?
	I think they should do more like the Dutch did with Johan de Witt in 1672.
	They were so pissed off about him that they got him, they beat him, and some people ate parts of him.
	Yes.
	But Dutch cuisine's not as good as French cooking.
	There's no way.
	That's such a good story.
	The Dutch are so angry.
	I hate you so much and I'm going to eat you!
	Now, Ireland, this was a big surprise to the opposition party in Parliament, just did the same thing.
	Evoked the emergency powers, which they said, well, we'll probably never have to use those.
	Don't worry about that.
	Just give us the power, we'll never have to use it.
	Yeah, give us the power, we'll never have to use it.
	And lo and behold, vaccine passports for anything you do.
	Do you have a bottom line as to what you're willing to implement?
	Because it appears to me that you don't and your government doesn't.
	You told us a couple of weeks ago when you were renewing the emergency provisions that you didn't expect that you'd use them, you hoped that you wouldn't use them and you didn't envisage using them.
	And here we are today because they didn't go far enough to provide for what you plan to do, which is to discriminate on the basis of vaccine status.
	That's right.
	Not just a passport, but an actual vaccine status for indoor dining.
	The Taoiseach, in response to Deputy Connolly, assured everybody that it would be non-coercive and it'd be about informed consent.
	But this is about coercion.
	This time last year, when we had nobody vaccinated, indoor dining was open now.
	So, that didn't lead to any great increase in infections last year.
	But this year, we need more measures.
	We need to discriminate against those who are not vaccinated.
	Now, what will it be next year?
	Well, what will it be next year?
	Well, we know it's not.
	It'll never let up.
	But he did throw this in for us.
	Because, you see, if you had listened...
	To people on the internet or on social media last year predicting this, you say, oh, there goes a conspiracy theorist.
	But it's come to pass.
	So now I just wonder, what will you introduce next?
	The one thing I know is that human rights will not be a consideration.
	Democracy, even.
	Because you will get your minions.
	They'll do whatever they have to do to stay, to keep the party whip.
	So there will be no let-up until the next election.
	That much is clear.
	Yeah.
	Shut up.
	Sit down.
	Go away, you.
	Boris Johnson, same message.
	Freedom Day, July 19th.
	But you'll need a passport for restaurants and clubs and indoor dining and perhaps for the football stadium.
	And we read that as a possible hoax on the last show.
	Turns out to be completely true.
	And I think that this is one final push.
	We're not done with this.
	They are not done stomping on our heads.
	They are not done.
	And it may not work in America.
	It may not work in Texas, which is different from America.
	But it's definitely going to work overseas.
	They're shutting it down.
	Australia, now Melbourne, went into a full three-week lockdown.
	Three weeks, boom, closed, done, over and out, shut up.
	Because of one...
	I think one 90-year-old died.
	I'm not kidding.
	I predict new lockdowns, and I think they're going to try it here as well.
	Why aren't they locking down?
	This is the point where the numbers are so low.
	We had a situation in Port Angeles where they made a big fuss about, oh, 25% of all the cases we've ever had are, within the last couple weeks, a Delta variant.
	Oh, and the 25% of all cases, the total load was 16 total people.
	So they had four cases.
	And they're making a big fuss.
	Well, what they do...
	Sorry?
	And this is the same thing.
	This is the moment where someone should switch...
	If they're honest, and we realize this is a scam, they should switch the...
	I'm sorry, flip the switch and say, now's the time you quarantine the sick, not the healthy.
	Ah!
	Way beyond that.
	There is now...
	You don't watch the cable news networks.
	I watch all day long, mainly MSNBC, CNN, which is now just everyone who's ever worked in the Democratic National Committee, the party...
	They're on CNN. That place is sink and ship.
	No, it's a Democrat runoff.
	I mean, it's just the Democrats...
	But there's people from Hillary Clinton's staff from 2016.
	Yeah, everything.
	And then a bunch of CIA ex-stooges and spooks.
	So if you want to get the actual clean scripts, then you watch CNN. If you want to get the complete outrage...
	By the way, Nicole Wallace...
	She has a tell that is crazy.
	She has this tick when she's saying stuff that she knows is bullcrap.
	She shakes her head left and to the top and up to the top.
	Like she's shaking her hair out of her face, but it's like a little up and back.
	And of course, I'm very sensitive to ticks.
	So I see you, Nicole Wallace.
	You know you're full of crap.
	So now what's happening, they are going on a rampage.
	It started with, it's the southern states.
	Now we know it's the red states.
	They don't vaccinate.
	Lowest vaccination rates ever there.
	Oh my God!
	Delta variant found this morning.
	Austin, Texas.
	I'm sorry, Austin, not Texas.
	Went to stage three!
	Stage three!
	We have Delta variant in Austin!
	And the problem is that everybody is watching two people watching Tucker Carlson And Laura Ingraham.
	And because of them, because of them, Republicans in red states in the South have the lowest vaccination rates and they are dying.
	And they are going to die.
	You are all going to die.
	This is Dick Durbin, Senator Dick Durbin, talking about this very issue in the Senate.
	There are two...
	A host of programs on Fox Primetime that can only be characterized as anti-vax quacks.
	I'm referring, of course, to Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham.
	And I appreciate him using the official no-agenda pronunciation of Laura Ingraham.
	That does give me...
	A quack technically refers to a doctor.
	It's always a doctor.
	You're not a quack.
	You could be a crackpot or a nutball or a number of things, but you're not a quack.
	A quack is a doctor that is a bad doctor.
	Well, the reason that that is used is, as we've discussed a couple months ago, back when the allopaths came in and medicine was taken over by the Rockefellers and they were trying to cure cancer.
	After that, they were looking to cure cancer.
	There were cancer cures, certainly the one that is still operating in Mexico, and those were branded by Big Pharma, I'll just put it that way, as quacks.
	So they're just rolling out the same script.
	When you're against big pharma, not against medicine or against certain policy, then you're a quack, you see.
	So it's the pharma industry who wrote this for him.
	That's the way I deconstruct it.
	That's an interpretation.
	I just think it's just pointing it out that Durbin's full of shit, but it's interesting that they would do this.
	This is the Congress of the United States bitching about a talk show host.
	Mm-hmm.
	That is really low end.
	Wait for it.
	I'm referring, of course, to Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham.
	They have been spreading what I consider to be irresponsible information about vaccines across America and about the effort of this nation to deal with them.
	Here's the reality.
	We have millions who've died across the world by this vaccine.
	We may never have an accurate count.
	There's just nothing like it.
	This is the best one I've ever gotten.
	Did you hear it?
	No, say it again.
	Oh, the switcheroo.
	There's a switcheroo.
	Here's the reality.
	We have millions who've died across the world by this vaccine.
	We may never have an accurate count.
	That is the top of the list.
	That is number uno.
	You can't get any better.
	Truth wants to come out.
	This is no longer a coincidence that this happens.
	He's reading a piece of paper!
	We have hundreds of thousands who have died in the United States.
	And now it is said repeatedly that those who are headed to the hospital with the most serious strains of COVID-19, 99.5% of them were not vaccinated.
	So...
	The facts are obvious here.
	We don't know this.
	Where's that number coming from?
	No, that's the talking point number.
	And as witness...
	Can I stop you for a second and bring up the talking point number?
	Uh-oh.
	No, you can't bring up the talking point because then they shut you down.
	Immediately.
	No talking points for you!
	Oh my God, that was crazy.
	Wait, wait, wait, stop, John, stop, stop, stop.
	The minute you said I'm bringing up the talking point, right away you cut off.
	And I'm leaving that in the show this time because I'm sick of those guys doing it to us.
	Could you pick it up from the talking point?
	The talking point stems from Fauci...
	Who, when asked about the deaths, he did a roundabout.
	He did some screwy thing where he says 99.5% of all people who died of COVID were unvaccinated.
	And he said this recently, but he's referring to the total number of people, the 500,000, because recently not too many people have died, vaccinated or unvaccinated.
	It's just a fact.
	Oh, you mean since the beginning of the pandemic?
	That many people have died unvaccinated because there was no vaccine?
	Yeah.
	He's counting that as a part of it?
	That was the whole scam.
	It was a scam comment.
	And now Dick Durbin's bringing that number in as though today.
	Oh, let's listen to the talking points.
	We can stop this whenever we want, but this shows you what is going on.
	Now CNN has to jump in because that's the script.
	We have to go after Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham.
	And let's do it with a real...
	Hold on a second.
	Wait, one more thing since we can jump in.
	I'm going to keep jumping in.
	Yeah, sure.
	How did Laura get to first grade status?
	Tucker's the guy that's leading the way in all this.
	She's just a follower.
	But she's a woman who is a Republican and has a very kind of Aryan look to her.
	They're giving her more kudos than she deserves.
	I agree with that.
	She has a whole Aryan look to her.
	Yeah, she does have the look Frau Ingraham has that look.
	Yeah, so it's clearly a Nazi.
	Hello?
	By the way, before I continue, did you notice, as someone pointed out to me, the definition of the term bigot has changed?
	What?
	They've changed it?
	It means a person is unaccepting of somebody else's thinking is really what it is.
	It means you're biased in a very rigid way is what it means.
	It was always my understanding.
	Maybe I'm wrong.
	That it was someone who was intolerant of members of a group.
	No.
	No?
	A group or idea.
	Or perspective.
	Okay.
	If you're intolerant of Republicans, you're a bigot.
	Oh, I always thought it had to be...
	Well, there it is.
	There it is.
	Oh, of ideas.
	But you say it can be something else beside a group.
	I thought it had to be about a group of people.
	No.
	Okay.
	Well, then I'm mistaken.
	No, it's always...
	And every once in a while I pull that definition out, because I call people bigots all the time, because they're bigots.
	Hold on, hold on.
	You, you, you.
	Hold on.
	Let me just check.
	Yeah, bigot.
	It's good.
	It's bigot.
	Pull it out.
	I'd listen to the...
	Sorry.
	Y'all are sorry.
	I'm just saying it's a term that could be better...
	It's not understood well.
	It's always...
	It means racist to most people.
	Yes, yes.
	Well, it's not.
	It's got nothing to do with racism.
	No, it's just...
	I thought it was groups, but it can be ideas, too.
	I'm mistaken.
	Okay, listen to CNN. We begin with a deadly escalation of anti-vaccine propaganda in politics.
	I mean, right there.
	We begin with a deadly escalation of anti-vaccine propaganda in politics while she is actually doing propaganda about vaccine in politics.
	It's fantastic.
	Begin with a deadly escalation of anti-vaccine propaganda in politics and on TV that is risking and costing American lives.
	45 states are seeing a sharp rise in new infections due largely to the Delta variant, 10% higher than the previous week.
	And in 34 states, new cases are up 50%.
	50% higher than last week.
	Officials attribute that to the unvaccinated population and the rise of the highly transmissible Delta variant.
	99% of the people dying from COVID right now are unvaccinated.
	More than 99% in fact.
	So he emphasizes Fauci's number with it.
	Oh no!
	It's 999.
	It's more!
	It's more!
	An emergency room doctor told us this week that all of the sick COVID patients he is seeing are unvaccinated.
	All of them.
	And yet to some, this is just a show.
	A deadly show.
	Oh, this is...
	This is like...
	This is...
	Okay, well now...
	This is really getting on my nerves.
	First of all, we have...
	Ex-e-host Kat Sadler.
	If anyone has...
	You're so right!
	Ex-e-host.
	Ex-e-e-host.
	E-entertainment.
	EE Entertainment.
	Kat Sadler is sick as a dog, and there's a big story about her in the Daily Mirror.
	I think it's the Mirror.
	And she's going on and on, and poor thing, and she's sick as a dog.
	Is she in the hospital, though?
	Is she in the hospital?
	Well, she might as well be.
	Well, no, if she's not, then it doesn't count.
	That's what they just said.
	Well, she's sick as a dog, and she says these are not mild symptoms, and she's been totally vaxxed, and blah, blah, blah.
	And we had a letter from one of our producers, which is a very entertaining one, if I'm going to find it somewhere in this pile.
	It's anonymous.
	Here we go.
	This is from an anonymous, or use Ryan Desmond if you want to use the code Ryan Desmond.
	I get a kick out of these people and their pseudonyms.
	I'm writing to report about a first-hand story regarding the VAX up here in New England, in New Hampshire specifically.
	My living girlfriend got her second dose about a month ago and now Pfizer and is recovering and getting bronchitis with the potential to spread to pneumonia but she took antibiotics after going to the hospital which is there's a kind of What's the antibiotics going to do after she's all viral?
	But after going to the hospital a few weeks ago, probably wasn't reported, the interesting part of the story is she was coerced into getting the jab from her former boss, who said that if she didn't get it, she would no longer be able to spend time with her.
	Or she would.
	There was a feeling such...
	There's a woman boss.
	And they used to hang out.
	Feeling stuck, she chose to get it.
	The boss, female, and husband have also been double-jabbed.
	Guess what?
	The husband had a heart attack that almost killed him.
	I doubt this will be reported in the VAERS database because the lady is an extreme commie conformist.
	She probably doesn't even make the...
	and then I got a blank here.
	I also got sick.
	And I have not gotten the vaccine.
	I do not plan to.
	But she got sick from his wife's bronchitis.
	I hope that the more information I will share.
	Anyway, this is the kind of thing...
	Yeah, no.
	Vaccine gives a guy a heart attack.
	None of this stuff gets reported.
	So you can make these crazy assertions because...
	If somebody dies, they get vaccinated.
	I mean, this is bullcrap.
	This is nonsense.
	We've had nothing but poisoned, incorrect assumptions and data throughout the entire process from beginning of 2020.
	But what is egregious...
	I mean, you have to step back for a moment.
	Not a lot of people watch CNN, but this is the general message.
	I think that's why they're going so crazy, because they can do anything they want now.
	No one cares.
	But it is getting out there, and it just shows, you know, people who don't have the no agenda amygdala, they might actually believe this, you know?
	They might believe this stuff, and it's all about death and deadly and horrible, and it's all Republicans' fault.
	That's what they're saying.
	It's not cool, man.
	No.
	It makes you think, once you think about it, that maybe none of this is really about COVID. Maybe it's about social control.
	So this is them playing a clip of Tucker, and they're going to comment on it.
	And this has never, Sean, been about following the science.
	It's never been about following the facts and the truth.
	It's been about control from day one.
	I mean, I honestly think this is the greatest scandal of my lifetime.
	Hang in there, buddy.
	I thought the Iraq war was.
	This seems much bigger than that.
	607,771 Americans have died of the coronavirus.
	More than 99% of the people dying from COVID right now are unvaccinated.
	This is, what a great, I have to give her kudos for that.
	She just gave you the actual percentage over the full number, but presented it in a way that you just go, wow.
	Because that's it.
	Yeah.
	Because most of them were before the vaccine existed.
	I've always thought about vaccines and I always think about just nature and the way everything works.
	And I feel like a vaccination in a weird way is just generally kind of going against nature.
	Like, I mean, if there is some disease out there, maybe there's just an ebb and flow to life where something's supposed to wipe out a certain amount of people and that's just kind of the way evolution goes.
	Vaccines kind of stand in the way of that.
	Oh my God!
	Okay, okay.
	I'm going to give you a clip of the day for that idiocy.
	Now, I'm going to point something out here in terms of the way this is covered.
	This could, you know, if it was on, she was on the other foot and it was the Democrats or Republicans who were swapped on who was getting the vaccine and who wasn't, and you're still going after the Republicans and say the Republicans are all vaxxed up and the Democrats were.
	The reporting could go, just as easily go like this.
	Adam, you know, there's 600,000 dead, 600,000 dead, and Over 1% of them, which is, what is that?
	6,000 people, they died and they were fully vaccinated.
	We've got a minimum of 6,000 dead, fully vaccinated, and who knows how many people were killed by the vaccine itself.
	This is outrageous.
	This is outrageous.
	An outrageous number of people just died.
	The vaccine doesn't seem to be effective.
	Right.
	Yeah, that's kind of what the VAERS database reports, by the way.
	That's interesting.
	Hold on a second.
	Current tally as of...
	Let me get the date.
	As of July 7th, so that's a full week ago, 9,048 deaths according to the CDC's own government database.
	Yeah, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
	Just the tip.
	We only deal with tips here.
	Want to hear some more?
	Are you done with that?
	No, I want to hear more.
	I'm a glutton for punishment.
	607,771 Americans have died of coronavirus.
	99% of the people dying right now are unvaccinated.
	So maybe it doesn't work.
	They just keep going back and forth.
	Believe me, it's bad.
	It's bad.
	Well, Tucker's kicking ass.
	We know this.
	He's the number one guy now, and he's replaced Roe Riley, and he's just killing everybody at that time slot, and everyone's watching this thing.
	He's a subject of conversation, and I think we have to cover this one thing.
	It's an old clip.
	I'm going to want to play it to get it out of the way, get it off the schedule.
	He has been playing up the fact that the NSA has been spying on him.
	You want to do that now?
	Well, we're talking about, I think so, because it's Tucker, and he just gets it out of the way.
	Unless you think, unless you have, you don't really have anything on this.
	No, but I have COVID stuff that I want to come back to.
	Oh, no, I want to go back to COVID. Okay, all right.
	I just wanted to get the Tucker thing out of the way, because we're talking excessively about Tucker.
	And so he got on there, and he brought his new buddy, his new pal.
	Let me guess, can I bring you all down, Raph?
	His new buddy Glenn was on the show with him.
	And they talked about this a little bit.
	I think they brought out a lot of things that we just need to be reminded of.
	This is TC and GG1. So many times when people have gone to sue the NSA for illegally spying on them, they have doctrines that they use.
	They'll say, it's too secret.
	We can't have courts looking into what we did because that will jeopardize national security and then courts dismiss the lawsuit.
	Or they'll say, Tucker Carlson can't prove that we actually spied on him, therefore he has no standing to sue, and courts will dismiss that as well.
	The remedy here is for Congress.
	It's Congress's responsibility to exercise oversight, how the executive branch spies on people.
	And for so long, Congress has been either afraid of the The NSA and the CIA, or worse, subservient to them.
	And you're right, it has been the Republican Party, along with Democrats, that has long venerated these agencies, and only under Trump did they start to realize actually these agencies interfere in our politics and threaten our democracy in really pernicious ways, and they need to take that knowledge that they learned over the last five years and use it to get to the bottom of what happened here.
	So I spoke to, and this is not speculation, this is a conversation I had personally face-to-face with someone I thought was a very powerful member of the committee that oversees the intelligence agencies in Congress.
	I can't be more specific, but this is a true story.
	Two years ago, told me to my face that his communications were being monitored by the intel agencies, the ones that he was supposed to be overseeing and that he didn't dare text me because he knew they were reading his text.
	And I thought to myself, this system is completely dysfunctional.
	If the person who's supposed to be holding them accountable is afraid of them, then who's in charge here?
	It sounds like they are.
	Tucker is so good that he doesn't have to be controlled opposition.
	They can just label him a nutjob all day long.
	Glenn Greenwald, a nutjob.
	CNN can play clips.
	And the people who believe the CNN, MSNBC, the general elite, which is not a Republican Democrat, it's exactly what all the elites want, they'll believe the story.
	They'll believe it.
	This is great for us.
	Oh, shooting fish in a barrel.
	Hello.
	Basically.
	So let's listen to the second half, which is, again, just more reminders of stuff.
	We're hearkening back, and I think when I did the three-by-three talking about the CIA versus the FBI, I think we really are definitely back in the Obama term number three, and here we go.
	We learned, this is one of the big scandals of the Obama administration, that when the Senate Intelligence Committee was investigating the CIA and their role in the interrogation program at Guantanamo and elsewhere, John Brennan, CIA, spied on the leader of that Senate investigation, which was Dianne Feinstein.
	The CIA was spying on the Senate as the Senate was investigating the CIA. Right.
	The most significant exchange, I think I've talked about this on your show before, was three days before Trump was inaugurated.
	Chuck Schumer went on the Rachel Maddow show.
	And Rachel Maddow was very upset that Trump was insulting the CIA because she loves the CIA. And Chuck Schumer said the thing you're not supposed to say aloud, which is...
	Trump is being stupid because everyone knows that if you challenge the intelligence community, they have six different ways to Sunday to get back at you.
	And that's exactly what they proceeded to do over the next four years, was undermine his administration.
	People in Washington are petrified of the security state, and that's why they exist with no democratic accountability.
	Well, we have to push back.
	And by the way, if they find a meth lab in my basement, it's not real, just so you know.
	Just kidding, sort of.
	Glenn Greenwald, I'm sure you've been worried about that for years.
	Great to see you tonight.
	Thank you.
	Okay, you make an interesting point, and I'm going to jump into it.
	This is indeed...
	I think The Matrix is out of ideas and storylines, and it's just gone...
	Fuck it.
	Let's repeat.
	Roll it back, boys.
	Roll it back to 2008.
	Oh!
	Let's roll back this very show to 2008.
	This was requested on the previous show in a...
	I think a donation segment.
	And the request was, could you please play a certain clip from episode number 13 of the No Agenda show?
	This may have been...
	I wonder, this might have actually been...
	I wonder if this was just before Obama got elected.
	Anyway, here we go.
	Listen to this.
	Listen to what was going on in our lives as the Matrix has reset this for us.
	You should read The Economist then, because I think you'd enjoy it.
	I shall.
	Anyway, so this is from the Washington Post.
	It's a story about how hackers...
	And this is just from today.
	How hackers have gained access to the power grids of several countries and have extorted money and in fact in several instances have actually turned off the power in the entire country.
	And this came out at a security conference for utility companies, and a CIA analyst told this story.
	And it turns out that most people didn't know about this.
	And this is going to be big.
	I think this is a huge story.
	Yeah, I know, and it's breaking now.
	I'm familiar with this story.
	And I'd like to get a little deeper into it, because I'd like to find out what exactly are these power companies doing that leaves them so vulnerable.
	Well, you know, I'm thinking we can certainly trace which countries, and I have a feeling that the Netherlands might be one of them.
	So I'm going to see if there's anything to that, because we might be able to get any deeper.
	But this is just...
	Man, you know, this is just, I think, the tip of the iceberg of security of systems.
	This is happening all over the place, of course, not just with utilities.
	Hacking of power supply?
	Well, you know, there seems to be, when I see these kinds of stories out of the blue, and I know hackers do a lot of stuff, but every once in a while when I'm starting to see it's focused, focused attention on something that's a security issue, I'm always thinking there's some security company behind it saying, look, we've got some software.
	We got some encryption stuff.
	Nobody's using it.
	We can make a lot of money.
	Let's shut down some podunk country in Africa.
	Just shut them down from a distance and then extort them if we can.
	But whatever the case is, bring it to the attention of everybody so we can sell some more products.
	So your theory here, which I like and of course am all over, is not very unlike my theory about the drug companies releasing viruses into the air to sell cold medicine.
	Yeah, it's the same sick thinking.
	So, is it just sick thinking, or is it a reality?
	Dude.
	Dude.
	Well, a couple of things.
	One, our energy pre-jingles is terrible.
	I must have been so baked.
	You were stoned as hell.
	Yeah, it's true.
	I read this thing.
	I have no noise gate.
	You hear this like...
	And you've got that little Mickey Mouse through Skype, which is off or something.
	Very weird.
	But there you have it.
	We were all...
	The Matrix has just reset.
	Everything is...
	Well, we noticed that again with the CIA-FBI thing going back and forth again.
	Now, these guys will give us something to talk about, battling each other.
	So let's stay with the CIA for a moment, or the NSA, or the FBI. It doesn't matter, but if you were to...
	Create the perfect opportunity to get people interested in the infrastructure bill, have a talking point about these stupid Texans who can't keep their grid up.
	Oh, it's Russia.
	We heard it on the CBS CIA broadcast systems report.
	Oh, no, Russia did this.
	Russia hacked the meat plant.
	Russia is doing all of these small companies.
	They got the Kisera.
	It's Russia.
	They're doing it all.
	And then all of a sudden, what?!
	Multiple cybersecurity experts are confirming to CNBC this morning that all known websites associated with the hacking group R-Evil are in fact down this morning.
	Okay, so this is very important news.
	R-Evil is the so-called Russian group linked to the Kremlin.
	Although CBS 60 Minutes pretty much said, it's the Russians.
	They were responsible for it.
	And now, all of a sudden, their websites are down.
	Their websites are down!
	These are sites maintained by the hacking group, which has been linked to Russia, in the dark web.
	They use these sites to communicate with their victims, to publicize some of the material that they've stolen.
	All of those now are Are down, we are told, by two high-ranking cybersecurity officials.
	Here's what you see if you try to go to an R-Evil site right now.
	It just says a server with a specified hostname could not be found.
	Try again.
	This must be evidence of something going on!
	That is all the information that we have as of right now.
	We don't know exactly why these sites are down.
	Oh yes you do.
	You know exactly why those sites are down.
	You know why this op had to be completed.
	Go ahead, read the script.
	We don't know exactly when this event began, although all of these sites have been active recently.
	What we do know is that President Biden spoke to Vladimir Putin last week about cybersecurity and some of the ransomware attacks that have been hitting American companies.
	And we do know that a senior administration official said this last week about the expectation that the United States might strike back.
	The senior administration official saying some of them, that is the activities that the United States will take, will be manifest and visible.
	Some of them may not be, but we expect those to take place, you know, in the days and weeks ahead.
	Oh, so this is really Joe Biden who warned Vladimir Putin.
	Yo, Vlad, I'm going to bust you up, bro.
	You better stop that R-Evil crap.
	You better stop the ransomware.
	And it worked!
	This statement from a senior administration official about activity from the United States expected to take place was Friday.
	Today, obviously, is a couple days later than that.
	So it's possible that what we're looking at here is a U.S. retaliation, but that's not certain.
	It's also possible that there's Russian law enforcement activity.
	It's also possible that our evil...
	You get the point.
	The point is, we did it, America.
	We did it.
	Well, you know, there's another thing that's not discussed within this little report, which is left out conveniently, was John Kerry.
	Aha.
	You got me on that one.
	Yeah, because nobody talks about this at all.
	So John Kerry has just been in a three-day.
	A three-way?
	No, a three-day.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Let's play this NPR report.
	Kerry in Moscow.
	Climate envoy John Kerry was...
	Even as the earth is warming, relations with Russia remain in a deep freeze.
	So it is noteworthy that President...
	The Biden climate envoy John Kerry was in Moscow this week.
	The former Secretary of State is the most senior administration official to visit Russia since Biden took office.
	And Pierce Lucian Kim was the only U.S. journalist to speak with Kerry as he wrapped up three days of talks, including a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
	Lucian is here now.
	Hey there.
	Hey.
	Hey there.
	For three days of talks, I'm thinking that's a long time in the world of diplomacy.
	Do we know what all he talked about and with whom?
	Well, Kerry told me that his focus here was exclusively on fighting climate change, specifically in implementing the Paris Agreement and also preparing for a big climate summit in Scotland this fall.
	Russia is a major contributor of greenhouse gases, so getting the Kremlin on board is really important here.
	During his visit, Kerry spoke to a lot of Kremlin officials, including President Putin himself.
	But, you know, given how much else is going on in U.S.-Russian relations right now, I pressed him on whether he and Putin spoke about more than just climate.
	We talked about the climate reductions and a very brief but nevertheless substantive notation for both of us regarding the...
	Cyber situation at this point in time, but I'm not going to go into that at all here.
	So as you can hear, he's very careful in choosing his words.
	But cyber is the main issue right now.
	Following President Biden's summit with Putin last month, there was another ransomware attack blamed on a Russian cyber gang.
	And this week, that group suddenly went offline and nobody knows exactly why.
	A brief but substantive notation.
	Okay, we will await details on that.
	Is she married to Brett Weinstein, this woman?
	A brief but substantive notation!
	A brief but substantive notation.
	Okay, we will await details on that.
	We will always detail on that.
	Meanwhile, I mean, John Kerry knows Moscow well from his days as Secretary of State.
	He knows the Kremlin.
	They know him.
	What kind of reception did he receive?
	Well, let me tell you, if I was married to you, I would have to slap you silly.
	This would make me so crazy.
	Divorce is imminent.
	So, John Kerry...
	We're going to part two of this, but it's funny you brought that up because...
	Somebody sent me a clip of Weinstein and his wife with a comment, you know, Curry hates this woman.
	And I said, I don't know what they're talking about.
	So I said, oh, okay.
	We both harped on how she talks.
	You gotta inhale.
	Really, I'm such a snob.
	Of course, I was a professor at Northwestern University.
	Part two of this clip.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	Carrie is our climate czar.
	What is he doing talking about cyber?
	Well, they explained it.
	He's the hotshot, I guess, when he was...
	I have a couple of thoughts on this.
	He was there a lot when he was the Secretary of State, and he made a lot of friends, and everyone's sitting there talking about that right now, about how he's got a great reception.
	Everybody has nicknames for him.
	He's hanging out there for three days.
	He wasn't there for talking about climate.
	He was there at a party, and I think he's well-liked.
	He was there at a party.
	Yeah, and I think he's well-liked, and I think one of the reasons might be Is the way he talks in this ponderous manner might, and I'm just guessing, somebody out there that does translations can tell me I'm right or wrong, might really translate to Russian smoothly.
	Really?
	Because of the way he talks, he's slow and he's deliberate and it's possible that he's patient.
	I think you're seeing it the wrong way.
	I think he's actually a native Russian speaker and a mole and he's translating in his head.
	Mmm.
	I like that, but I'm buying it and I like it.
	So let's listen to part two here, and there's also a gaffe I'll bet you won't catch.
	Well, one Russian newspaper here wrote that Kerry didn't just get a warm reception, but he got a hot one.
	Hot!
	Kerry really knows everyone here.
	Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov calls him Dear John and said that this visit was a positive signal.
	As Secretary of State, Kerry also met Putin numerous times, and Putin gave him a full hour on the phone today.
	I asked Kerry how, given the personal relationships he has, his presence in Moscow will affect US-Russian relations overall.
	Personally, obviously, I think it's helpful to have the countries talking together and trying to find something where you can have common ground and make things happen.
	Right.
	And the question is, can they find common ground, whether it's on climate issues or anything else, given, as you note, that the relationship between Moscow and Russia, it is so fraught right now.
	Well, climate change is one of those very few areas where both countries are not in conflict.
	They're both huge polluters and realize things have to change.
	Climate is an uncontroversial issue that especially Russia sees as an additional field where it can engage the United States.
	From the Kremlin's point of view, these kinds of talks with John Kerry add to Russia's prestige.
	And for the Biden administration, it's an easy way to start some kind of dialogue that may lead to an improvement in relations.
	Yeah, this was about shutting these guys down, isn't it?
	This was what started it.
	John, let's put a pin in that.
	I want to come back to climate change later.
	Now, did you catch the gaff?
	No, I did not.
	Of course not.
	You set me up.
	I mean, you knew I wouldn't do it when you said, you won't catch it.
	I was right.
	Yeah.
	I just caught it.
	I kind of caught it right away, and I had to go back and say, wait a minute, she didn't actually say that.
	So where was that?
	I have it clipped.
	Oh, thank goodness.
	I don't want you to go back.
	It's too long of a clip.
	This is Carrie and Moscow gaffed.
	Now, this is a short version of where it takes place.
	You'll hear it.
	Whether it's on climate issues or anything else, given, as you know, that the relationship between Moscow and Russia, it is so fraught right now.
	Good one!
	Moscow and Russia.
	So fraught right now.
	Hell's breaking loose between Moscow and Russia.
	Well, if you're doing gaffes, I'm going to do a gaffe too.
	Hence, we are quite focused on communicating directly with those people.
	Hence, our special guest today about why it's important to get vaccinated.
	Why these vaccines are safe.
	Why they can still kill you even if you're under the age of 27.
	That's not a gaffe.
	It's the truth.
	They can still kill you, these vaccines.
	I love my job.
	I'm telling you, the collection we're collecting is going to be two hours of material.
	I almost started putting it together.
	I'm like, should I do it today?
	No, no, no.
	And then four more come in.
	I was like, oh my God.
	Yeah, this is going to be a great assist.
	Now, I just want to get...
	There's so much to talk about.
	We're running a little long.
	I do want to do just a few more COVID things because...
	Well, I've got COVID clips, too, and I also got a couple of Dr.
	Martin clips, Dr.
	Dean or whatever his name is.
	We talked about that months ago, and now it's about the patents.
	Well, a couple of things about this.
	There's two things.
	Everyone has sent us this clip.
	I just want to say to everyone who has sent us this clip, we did an extensive thing about Dr.
	Martin and all the patents and the patent database he has and everything he's found.
	And we did that months ago.
	Just saying that.
	But it doesn't matter because it's back.
	It's fine.
	It's back.
	And my number of things strike me.
	First of all, He's a goofy looking guy with a bow tie.
	Yeah.
	And what appears to be a suede tux.
	And he's sitting in front of an AKG Lyra mic.
	You've seen his show.
	I mean, he's very, very well followed YouTube channel that he has.
	I mean, he's very successful.
	And so it's this mic that got my attention.
	It's a great mic.
	I know exactly.
	What the hell?
	I want that mic.
	That looks great.
	So the mic is, I'll tell you about the mic, because I looked into it and said, I've never seen this mic before.
	It's as big as his head.
	The huge mic, and it's made by AKG, which, by the way, is run by Harmon International.
	What's the model number?
	I want to put it in the show notes.
	It's called the Lyra.
	It's a USB mic, believe it or not.
	Oh, gee.
	It's $125.
	It's a poser mic.
	It's a poser mic.
	Yeah, it's a phony.
	But, but, wait.
	So I looked up this mic, and the blue ones are hard to come by.
	They're mostly black and silver, or black and gold.
	And they are array mics.
	It's not a microphone with a big diaphragm, which is what it looks like.
	If you take the top off, it's four mics in there.
	It's almost like an H4, one of those Zoom things.
	Yeah.
	Which is unusual.
	But it has a good sound.
	This guy's sound is good.
	I'm thinking, when I saw it and I looked into it, I'm thinking, ah, the next Yeti.
	A mic you're going to see all over the place because people think it's cool and they're cheap.
	Considering...
	What 8kg can do, like a 414 would be the mic you want, that is a cheap mic, but it's a USB mic.
	Wait, isn't the 414, isn't that a Sennheiser?
	No, no.
	The 414 AKG is one of the most famous mics.
	I think it is their famous mic.
	I could be wrong.
	Does this thing have, besides USB, also an XLR out, or is it only USB? No, I think it's only USB, but it's got a lot of control, so you can control it, so you could use it in the middle of an audience.
	John, it has an integrated desktop stand!
	Yeah, it does.
	So, anyway, so this guy looks like a goofball with this mic, let me tell you.
	And he goes on and on, and so it's always, oh, it's banned from YouTube, banned from YouTube, bullcrap.
	I went to YouTube, and the original six-hour presentation...
	Yes, which I watched.
	Oh, you poor thing.
	That's when I reported on it.
	That's why I'm like, oh, God, do these people not listen?
	And it's still up.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	But you have to sound a little like, oh, they're out to get me.
	Yeah.
	So everyone said, oh, it's banned on YouTube.
	It's not banned on YouTube.
	There's nothing to ban.
	I got you.
	I got you.
	But I still like the guy because I've watched a lot of his stuff.
	I don't think he's full of crap.
	He's interesting.
	No, I agree.
	He's a little bit of a wonk.
	He goes into great deals.
	I have two clips from him from this event.
	Because somebody sent him in.
	I said, you know, this is kind of interesting because I don't remember this.
	He talks about, generally speaking, the two clips are, I don't think we played these clips before.
	We want to play them.
	This DDM clip, so he's got the Delta variant, his bullcrap clip.
	There is no such thing as an alpha or a beta or gamma or a delta variant.
	This is a means by which what is desperately sought is a degree to which individuals can be coerced into accepting something that they would not otherwise accept.
	There has not been in any of the published studies on what has been reportedly the Delta variant There has not been a population R0 calculated, which is the actual replication rate.
	What has been estimated are computer simulations.
	But unfortunately, if you look at GIS AID, which is the public source of uploading any one of a number of variations, what you'll find is that there has been no ability...
	To identify any clinically altered gene sequence which has then a clinically expressed variation.
	And this is the problem all along.
	This is the problem going back to the very beginning of what's alleged to be a pandemic.
	We do not have any evidence that the gene sequence alteration had any clinical significance whatsoever.
	There has not been a single paper published by anyone that has actually established that anything novel since November of 2019 has clinical distinction from anything that predates November of 2019.
	Let me counter that with the messaging as it's presented today about said variants.
	Now, with various mutations posing greater threat to an already intensifying COVID crisis, the possibility of being infected with two virus strains at the same time has now triggered a new risk in this ongoing fight against the virus.
	According to reports, a 90-year-old woman who died after falling ill with COVID-19 in Belgium was infected with both the alpha and the beta variants of the coronavirus at the same time.
	Oh!
	She had the alpha and the beta variants at the same time!
	Yeah, this old woman who died story is ridiculous.
	I'm going to top that, what you just played.
	Oh, no!
	Now, what we heard from the guy who does the underwriting, he knows Dr.
	Dean is a good source of information.
	Let's listen to how NPR plays up the Delta variant.
	Delta variant.
	The show, Atlantic science writer Ed Yong.
	So, Ed, any big personal accomplishments since we've had you on the show, or...?
	I got a dog.
	He also got a Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of the coronavirus pandemic.
	His most recent coronavirus reporting is about the Delta variant.
	Delta was first identified in India.
	It's been incredibly well characterized.
	A strain of the coronavirus that has rapidly spread throughout many countries, including the U.S. Where it is already picking up a lot of steam.
	Delta is the predominant variant here in the United States.
	As the Delta variant spreads primarily through areas with low vaccination rates, half the states are reporting an increase in new cases.
	Hospital admissions also starting to tick higher, now up 7% to 2,000 a day here in the U.S. The Delta variant has spread so fast because it is much more contagious than any of the other strains we've been up against so far.
	The alpha variant, which people were very worried about earlier on in this year, was already far more transmissible than the original vanilla SARS-CoV-2 virus.
	Delta is even more transmissible than that by anywhere from 35% to 60%, depending on the study that you're looking at.
	So we're facing the most contagious variants yet, and at the same time, and that interaction between the vaccines and the variants will be crucial in the months ahead.
	Oh, I love the music, NPR. It's so journalistic of you.
	It's pathetic.
	I'm loving it.
	Now, I don't want to play the other clip from the Doctor, but I will say, just to wrap him and put a bow around it, he believes that this is, besides this, that this has all been patented, it's all really SARS, the original SARS, it's called COV-2, and he thinks there's nothing more to it than the original SARS, and it's...
	And he does think there may be an element of testing for an implement to get AIDS vaccines into people, which is what the French guy said.
	The French doctor, the Nobel Prize winning guy said from the get-go back in March of 2020.
	He just thinks the thing is a scam in all kinds of different monetary ways.
	There was an article out this morning, and a lot of this is based on, it's interesting, they take the Pfizer-Israel data and they've drawn a lot of conclusions.
	And one of them is, here we go, Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine data opens the floodgates for mRNA vaccines.
	So, yeah.
	And I think we called this probably very early on.
	Oh, yeah.
	Now, once this is done, then it's going to be you get a vaccine for everything.
	But these new variants in Australia.
	Ah, no, no, no.
	Before you leave that topic too much or too soon, I want to mention something that we touched upon on the show earlier.
	Five or six years ago, and this Dr.
	Dean kind of brings it in, and then it reminded me, and I want to see if you can remember this, but I remember it.
	And this was about five or six years ago, and this had something to do with Fauci.
	There was a number of news stories that came out for a period of a couple of months, and it was about how they had developed a universal flu vaccine.
	Yeah, I don't know if we had Fauci...
	I think Fauci was somewhat involved, but I don't think we have any clips.
	We may have some clips about the universal flu vaccine, but I think this universal flu vaccine was what they were trying to produce using mRNA technology, which according to this Dr.
	Dean goes back to the 90s, the 1990s or before.
	Mm-hmm.
	And I remember this story because it seemed like a good idea at the time.
	Listen to this.
	And what they did was they found...
	Let's see.
	This might be a clip from it.
	Let me see.
	A very, very light season last year.
	This year, there were a couple of ominous signs.
	It clicked up early towards the very end of November, the beginning of December.
	And it went up on a pretty steep trajectory.
	The last time we saw that happen that way...
	It was the flu season of 2003 and 2004, which turned out to be a bad flu season.
	And also the kind of flu that's circulating, what we call H3N2, is usually associated with more serious disease compared to other types of flu.
	That's the bad news.
	The good news is that the flu that's circulating matches pretty well, in fact very, very well, to the vaccines that is being distributed and administered throughout the country.
	Is this vaccine working, in other words?
	Well, you can't tell if it's working at this point in the season, but when you have a good match where the strains that are used in the vaccine match very well to the circulating strain, you usually get a pretty good degree of protection.
	It varies among age groups and among individuals, but for the most part, the protection is really quite good.
	No difference with him in 2013 and 2021.
	Just a different flu.
	That guy's a robot.
	Jeez.
	I have one...
	Now you interrupt me.
	I've got to go back.
	I've got to go back for a second.
	Since you just played that clip, you have to play this clip, which is a three-second clip.
	I had it as an ISO. Influenza.
	Influenza did not leave the human population.
	Thanks for that interruption.
	I'm sorry, but where is influenza this year?
	Nobody died of it.
	Australia is building new facilities to house international travelers because experts say the Delta variant is too contagious.
	We can't have them in any of our regular places.
	Screw you, Australia.
	I'm not going to go.
	Meanwhile...
	This is one of those tenders that showed up.
	People looking for people to fulfill a government contract.
	Department of Homeland Security is outsourcing a training program to prepare for rural lockdowns, mass quarantines of unvaccinated people.
	Now, I'm going to presume it's true.
	It's a subcontract, so I'm not sure, but none of this surprises me.
	But that's not important.
	We need to go back to the variant for a moment.
	And it's really about one thing.
	And it comes from the Pfizer-Israel data.
	And...
	It was revealed that Pfizer's emergency booster request was initiated following some catastrophic data from Israel.
	The confusion started when Israel announced it would give certain citizens with weakened immune systems a third shot to increase antibody levels.
	But it's only for those with the most compromised immune systems, like transplant patients, and not for the general population.
	And now here in the U.S., the CDC and the FDA I just want to understand.
	Let's say I got a flu shot and I got the flu.
	Would the logical answer be, man, you didn't get enough flu shot.
	We've got to put more into you.
	Is that how vaccines work?
	The more you put in, the better they work?
	That's not the way they're supposed to work.
	Well, then what is this technology?
	Oh, we need more of this.
	I think there's some sort of corrective measure in the booster.
	Oh, I'm all in on that.
	But first, let's go back to scaring people about the variant and vaccination.
	We have to bring them back into the CBS CIA Broadcasting Systems morning show with Gail, of course.
	Here's Fauci.
	And that's really what the president was talking about, about trying to get some of these advisors, not federal officials, but community people to go out there and try and convince people why it's so important for their own health, for that of their family and for that of the community to go out and get vaccinated. for that of their family and for that of the We really need to get more people vaccinated because that's the solution.
	This virus will, in fact, be protected against by the vaccine.
	Dr. Fauci, I don't know how many more times you can say to people, listen, it will save your life.
	I have this problem with some members of my own family, which I'm now going to ban for Thanksgiving vacation.
	That's how strongly I'm taking what you're saying.
	I'll bet they're Republicans!
	Oh, brother.
	I don't even want to say.
	But the Pfizer marketing cranked it up another notch this week.
	Congratulations to Team Halo, to the newly rebranded, new logoed Pfizer marketing department.
	You guys...
	I gotta hand it to you.
	For something that happens to people who are vaccinated for all kinds of vaccines, my cousin had it after a different vaccine years and years ago.
	Of course, he still has problems.
	Well done on discrediting Johnson& Johnson once again.
	Pfizer marketing, foam finger number one.
	Now, as we come on the air, the FDA has issued a new warning labeled for Johnson& Johnson's single-dose shot, an unusual move that comes after the agency linked the vaccine to a rare syndrome affecting the nervous system.
	Now, the disorder, called the Guillain-Barre, can start with tingling sensations in the arms and legs, and in some cases, lead to paralysis.
	Still, scientists say there are only a few cases connected to the vaccine and that the J&J shot is safe and effective.
	Don't worry.
	A little tingling.
	It's safe and effective.
	Hold on a second.
	You've got to give Pfizer a little more credit.
	They can do more damage than that.
	Well, hold on.
	Did you notice they have to recall every single one of their sunscreen products this week as well?
	I got it.
	The sunscreen recall clip.
	Johnson& Johnson is recalling five of its popular sunscreen products.
	The move comes after some samples were found to contain low levels of benzene, the human carcinogen.
	And here's Maria Godoy has the story.
	The recall involves only spray sunscreens sold in cans by Neutrogena and Aveeno.
	Specifically, Aveeno Protect and Refresh Aerosol Sunscreen and four Neutrogena Aerosol Sunscreens.
	Beach Defense, Cool Dry Sport, Invisible Daily Defense, and Ultra Sheer.
	Johnson& Johnson said it's investigating how benzene ended up contaminating the sunscreen samples it tested.
	Benzene can cause cancer with repeated exposure at high enough levels.
	However, J&J says the benzene levels it detected would not be expected to cause adverse health effects.
	Even so, the company is urging consumers to stop using the recalled sunscreens immediately.
	But wait, there's more.
	They've done such a good job that now headline in Chicago...
	I feel like I'm half vaccinated, colon.
	Some Illinois residents who got Johnson& Johnson COVID-19 vaccines are seeking booster shots from Pfizer as Delta variant spreads.
	Give it in!
	Just shoot me up!
	Anything!
	Unbelievable.
	This is great.
	Yeah, well, we started reporting on this since the Newsy guy.
	It's fantastic.
	They're abusing the privilege.
	What privilege?
	They're abusing the privilege.
	Marketing, at some point, you can't just beat the public to death with it.
	This is going to backfire.
	You've got to see the CNN homepage.
	I think this is from earlier this morning.
	Headline, your choice, colon, vaccinated or infected.
	That's a classic headline.
	I put that on the social.
	Oh, okay, good.
	It's unbelievable.
	Vaccinated or infected.
	That's unbelievable.
	Well.
	Now, I have one other clip about this.
	Just play this.
	Because this brought up a bunch of interesting commentary.
	This is about the COVID blood.
	This brought a bunch of people saying, well, this is bullcrap and we take blood and all the rest.
	Wait a minute, hold on, hold on, hold on.
	I think you can do a better voice than that.
	I think I can too.
	I can't bring myself to do it.
	Okay.
	Let's play the clip and then maybe I can do a voice.
	COVID blood no good.
	COVID-19 vaccine.
	You're going to want to listen to this.
	The Red Cross says anyone who has received their COVID-19 vaccine cannot donate convalescent plasma to help other COVID-19 patients in hospitals.
	That plasma is made up of antibodies from people who have recovered from the virus, but the vaccine wipes out those antibodies, making the convalescent plasma ineffective in treating other COVID-19 patients.
	What?
	So...
	I just want to play the last 10 seconds.
	Hold on.
	The vaccine wipes out those antibodies, making the convalescent plasma ineffective in treating other COVID-19 patients.
	Huh.
	Okay.
	Well, that's the entry.
	What you pointed on, play twice, is the point.
	Because everyone came back at this.
	If you saw this clip and what was posted in all the comments, oh, Red Cross says this is bullcrap.
	We take blood donations.
	Yes, they still take blood donations.
	We take blood donations.
	And they're not talking about blood donations.
	They're talking about convalescent plasma, which is derived from a blood donation for the purposes of that one kind of treatment that Trump, I think, had.
	Which is not a common treatment anyway, so it's not important.
	But this little gotcha in there, which nobody said anything about, which is that it wipes out the antibodies?
	What's that all about?
	Interesting.
	So if you had COVID and then got the shot...
	All the lifetime protection that you got from having COVID, which looks to be lifetime protection from ever getting it again, but since there's all this promotion of the vaccine, the vaccine, the vaccine, you've just wiped out your lifetime protection and put yourself on the vaccine kind of treadmill, which is what this Dr.
	Dean talks about, too.
	He says this whole thing to dick people to these shots.
	You have to keep getting these shots for the rest of your life.
	This is...
	The clip custodian in the troll room has an interesting theory that this is the very reason they're sending response teams to low vaccinated areas to actually find out who has antibodies so they can harvest monoclonal antibodies.
	Because they can't get it anywhere else but here.
	I love that.
	I love that.
	Well, good to know.
	None of you guys have hooked up.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage in the morning to you, the man who just can't get enough of the COVID Delta variant, and that's why he put a C in it.
	Ladies and gentlemen, Mr.
	John C. Dvorak!
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry, and in the morning to all ships at sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, and subs in the water.
	In the morning to the trolls in the troll room.
	This is a Thursday, so let's see.
	Hands up, troll.
	Let's do a little count.
	Let's see who's here.
	Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go.
	And they're scurrying away.
	Wait, wait, I didn't get you!
	Okay.
	1815.
	1815.
	I can't remember.
	Is that good or bad for a Thursday?
	What was it?
	What?
	1,815.
	That's good.
	Good.
	Well, good.
	Well, then the trolls are good.
	Hello, good trolls!
	Anytime.
	1,800 would be the gold standard for Thursday.
	We say hello to all the trolls in the Troll Room.
	You can join them at trollroom.io anytime you want.
	We do the show live on Thursdays and Sundays, starting at noon Eastern.
	It's kind of fun, but you can check in anytime you want before that.
	The trollroom.io has a stream.
	It's the No Agenda stream.
	You can listen to that 24-7.
	Lots of live shows on, even before this one.
	Darren O'Neill does the rock and roll pre-stream.
	And you'll probably hear people talking about No Agenda Social.
	Well, this is our federated network, which you can follow us there.
	And there's no algos.
	You can join from any server.
	We suggest finding something small, though maybe setting one up yourself.
	You can do it for five euros a month.
	It's a Mastodon server.
	So I'm Adam at NoAgendaSocial.com.
	John is John C. Dvorak at NoAgendaSocial.com.
	If you follow us, we federate.
	You'll get all of Gitmo Nation starting flowing through your timeline before you know it.
	And again, it is noagendasocial.com.
	We need to thank the artist for episode 1363.
	We titled that Attribution Science, and the artwork...
	This was not an easy one.
	Darren O'Neill, who is long overdue for being chosen, I mean, lots of times he hasn't quite made it.
	You know, you talk about bringing the cheese.
	This was, in fact, kind of a cheese piece that he did.
	It was spot on.
	The Virgin Galactic slash Bezos rocket flying into space with dollars pooping out of its butt.
	Yeah.
	But I think there was other stuff.
	No, there was a lot of good material, and the problem that Darren's going to have is if we have these semi-pros and pros...
	Coming in, which we're not discouraging by any means.
	We think it's fabulous.
	They have a...
	And they crank it out.
	It's not as though...
	That's so fast.
	It's unbelievable.
	It's unbelievable.
	And so you end up with some really stunning pieces that are very catchy.
	They're eye-catching.
	Well, there were a number of...
	People did a lot of interesting things.
	Nothing with Lego worked.
	So we appreciate that.
	By the way, it turns out that the Lego model of the Capitol that the insurrectionist had in his house, and what's his face?
	Visectomy man.
	Chris Hayes, he was all, oh my god, they studied it with a model of Lego.
	You remember that?
	Yes.
	The stupidest thing, yes.
	It turns out the Lego was still in the box, unassembled.
	Oh, there's your MSNBC reporting for you.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	So we had a lot of Lego.
	There was a lot of...
	We had a rubber shortage, a couple of rubber shortage jokes.
	Comic strip blogger had something semi-leud, which is no surprise.
	I don't know why people still try to do the Joe Rogan logo for anything we do.
	Yes.
	I don't know.
	I don't get it either.
	It doesn't make sense.
	And they should, you know...
	If they look...
	The thing is, if you go to the...
	No agenda or generator if you're an artist and you look back at stuff that's been rejected.
	You should get a clue about what we don't do.
	We don't use our images anymore because the first two or three years of this we did nothing but our images and so we banned them.
	And so the Joe Rogan logo with the Adams image is just immediately banned.
	What's the point of spending your time doing it?
	Trying to think, was there any...
	I somehow vaguely remember some veto thing.
	I may be wrong.
	I don't think there was any veto.
	There could have been.
	Let me see.
	No.
	I mean, yeah.
	What is happening today is like someone came in and just Joe Corral and has done 8,000 and Mellow Madness has done 5,000 images.
	No, there's a whole bunch of other people here.
	Holy crap, what's going on?
	I've never seen this many before at halftime.
	Oh, it's happened.
	It's a lot.
	Well, Darren O'Neill, congratulations.
	Um...
	Long overdue, and you just nailed it.
	I don't think we had any...
	I guess we didn't have any arguments.
	Yes, we did have one that was vetoed.
	It was on the Evergreens, and it was a Ness Works art car.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	The art car.
	Right.
	We talked about the art car.
	But why was it vetoed?
	No, it's because we didn't talk about the art car.
	Oh, right.
	It was discussed in the newsletter, but it was never discussed on the show.
	Right.
	Thus, it was vetoed.
	We probably would have used it if we had talked about the art card.
	That was a kind of nice piece.
	Yes, because it was a beautiful piece.
	So Dreb Scott does all the chapters for the No Agenda show, and he does that with an app called Hypercatcher.
	Oh, gee, it's a new podcast app, Podcasting 2.0.
	And it's cool because he can do it on the fly as he's listening, and then he goes back.
	It's a lot of work.
	He does 30, 40 chapters for us.
	He uses a lot of this, almost exclusively sometimes, all of this art, so it's a great way to check it out.
	And you can find, just try a new podcast app at newpodcastapps.com.
	I want to just point out a new story this morning.
	Spotify stock drops as analyst critique podcast performance.
	Oops!
	Oops!
	Say that again, what?
	I shall read it.
	I'm going to go to the story.
	Spotify stock drops.
	Analysts warn company must prove podcast strategy.
	Spotify shares fell as much as 6% on Wednesday following a report by analysts at Bernstein that questioned the company's podcast investments in a slowing podcast market.
	No, no.
	A slowing market for you.
	We are taking over.
	I'll just say that 6%, we took it.
	Podcasting 2.0 took that from you.
	I don't know if it's true or not, but I want to say it.
	Well, you can say whatever you want.
	Yeah, but you've got to back me up.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I'm just saying.
	I'm just saying.
	Well, you know, let me mention something to you.
	I think it's when they took Call Her Daddy.
	For $40 million.
	I don't think the Joe Rogan thing was a bad idea.
	I thought it was $60 million.
	Okay, it could have been $60 million.
	Now, this is half of what used to be the show Call Her Daddy with the blonde and Sophia with an F. They used to have the show together.
	And they didn't take the good part, which was Sophia.
	So I think Sophia, because the blonde, and I can't remember her name, but I should, but I don't listen to her show that much, because all she basically talks about are blowjobs.
	That's all she talks about.
	At least every time I listen to her show, because I'm You know, looking for clear clips.
	And the two girls have got good mics.
	Uh-huh.
	Yeah.
	Uh-huh.
	Sure.
	Yeah.
	Well, it's all audio.
	It's all you don't get to see them.
	But she talks about blowjobs to an excess.
	And she talks about blowjob techniques and give them casual blowjobs.
	And how do you do it in a cab and all kinds of stuff.
	And it's just pretty, it's gross.
	But Sophia with an F is gross enough.
	The other girl is grosser.
	And I would say that some investors, what are you giving $60 million to this girl?
	Should I tell you something?
	No.
	I looked at the numbers.
	I came to a similar conclusion.
	Actually, my conclusion was I don't think they're stealing anyone's market share.
	They mentioned podcasts never, except in their quarter one report, except in the context of Joe Rogan.
	There's nothing about podcasting in their report other than, oh, our monthly average users are down, so they're losing people, and all they say is, well, Joe Rogan is doing good at converting.
	Yeah, converting existing customers.
	And I saw that a week ago.
	I agree with that.
	Now, I'm not going to argue this.
	I'm just saying something always triggers this, and I'm pretty sure this girl did it.
	Well, I like that.
	I like that theory, yeah.
	I could be wrong, but this analysis could have been made a year ago about Spotify.
	I mean, they're hemorrhaging money.
	They have all these issues.
	Yeah, but it's more fun when we're doing Podcasting 2.0 to stand on the sideline and cheer.
	Well, when you're doing Podcasting 2.0, which is...
	I've said it before, it's a godsend to podcasting, even though there are certain people that have condemned it because it is associated with you, and I won't say who they are, Leo Laporte.
	But it's a godsend to podcasting, and it does block a lot of this kind of craziness that's going on.
	And I think it's their time to be...
	I'm glad Joe got in on the deal, and I'm glad that Barstool Sports got $60 million for the other daddy thing, but they're the two lucky, lucky people.
	What can they do?
	I mean, they do hard work, so it's not like they're slouches.
	I guess I'm just happy that a decentralized open system is...
	What do I always say?
	You can't monetize the network.
	There you go.
	There you go, Spotify.
	You could have asked me, but no.
	You can't monetize the network.
	They never ask anybody anything.
	I'm talking about this.
	This is an aside.
	I'm talking about not asking the experts.
	Yes.
	So, they did a match game show with that actor, what's his name, it was on for about a year, they just cancelled last year, I think.
	Who, who, who?
	Oh, the Bachelor host?
	No, the match game, it was, no, it was the guy who plays Trump on Saturday Night Live, the actor.
	Alec Baldwin?
	Alec Baldwin was the host of the match game, he had the long mic like Gene Rayburn and all the rest.
	Oh, okay, yeah.
	So they do the match game, and they got it all screwed up.
	It's no good.
	The show fails.
	It was no good.
	So I decided, because I'm kind of a jerk about this sort of thing, because it happens to me, it happens to you, it happens to everybody who has any expertise in anything.
	So I called up Dick DiBartolo, who works for Mad Magazine as a writer.
	Yeah, we all know Dick.
	Dick DiBartolo was the writer for the match game in the 70s.
	Oh, yeah.
	He was the writer because I watched a special and there was a documentary about Gene Rayburn and the show because it was a famous show and Rayburn was named the best ever host.
	So I called up Dick and asked him a couple of questions which I wanted the answers to.
	First we chatted a little bit about the show and how it came about.
	And he wrote pretty much every single question.
	He was the writer for the show for 10 years.
	And he knew the ins and outs of the show.
	He was part of it when it started in New York and how it changed and it morphed, it pivoted, and it became a popular show.
	So I said, so Dick, so when they cranked this Alec Baldwin version of the show up again, did anyone call you...
	To ask you any question like how the show was structured, what do you think made it work when it was working well and it was a hot show, it was on the day, it was at night, it was all over the place.
	Did anybody discuss with you the structure of the jokes or anything the way the show went?
	Not a soul called them.
	Of course not.
	And so I said, well, I only called just to confirm my suspicions that nobody would bother calling probably the expert, since Gene Rayburn's dead, the expert on the show during his heyday.
	Now, why bother?
	And that's what you just, you get the same thing with, you know, why call Adam Curry about podcasting?
	What does he know?
	He's a conspiracy theorist.
	Yeah.
	He likes freedom.
	Freedom!
	Freedom!
	So noagendaartgenerator.com is where you can see all of the art.
	And, of course, that also gets used in hats, t-shirts, mugs, etc.
	NoagendaShop.com.
	Those guys are great.
	They split money with artists and then they donate to the show.
	It's great.
	We have no meetings.
	We love their work.
	And this is a value for value program.
	As you've noticed, you didn't hear any commercials for the past two hours.
	And even in our donation segment, there's great content.
	You're seeing it here.
	And we also like to thank our executive and associate executive producers of the show for this episode.
	And I need to say something.
	I need to thank one of our longtime friends.
	Oh, I think we call that friend of the shawl, which is Patrick from...
	From the band Weezer.
	Oh, yes.
	Oh, yes.
	This is hilarious.
	He gets it, doesn't he?
	He's the drummer.
	Yes, he's also original co-founder.
	And so there's this whole article.
	I mean, because they've been around for, what, 20 years?
	Maybe even a little bit longer than that by now?
	Yeah, they're old-timers.
	He's just been around for a while.
	So there's this article in the, I think it's the Daily Mirror, and there's all this thing about, you know, what...
	Read the paragraph.
	Okay, hold on a second.
	Let me just get it.
	Okay, here it is.
	What are you drinking?
	Pabst?
	Schlitz?
	Schlitz malt liquor?
	I'm drinking the last can of Spindrift grapefruit water.
	I think you've just moved on to Schlitz.
	Schlitz malt liquor.
	All right.
	Co-founding Weezer member Patrick Wilson, 52, also fronts his own band, The Special Goodness.
	But his talents do not just lie in music.
	Oh, no.
	He's also known for performing funny stunts on skateboards, scooters, and bikes, which he posts online.
	Patrick also recorded drums for the Rentals' first record, but did not tour with them.
	Alongside his Weezer bandmate Brian, Patrick created a cover of the Velvet Underground song Heroin for the 2006 film Factory Girl, in which he also played John Cale.
	Patrick has been an executive producer for the No Agenda podcast, a political show fronted by former VJ Adam Curry and columnist John C. Dvorak.
	And you know that he gave that to them as like, hey, by the way, I'm also in the production game now, like the Obamas, and I'm an executive producer on the No Agenda show.
	We love you, Patrick.
	Very smart use of this.
	Very, very funny.
	And it, once again...
	Anyone can do it.
	And it legitimizes what we're doing here.
	It's legit, people.
	These credits are legit.
	So let's thank some of these fine folks who have supported us for today's show.
	Yeah, let's start with Brian Travis in Candia, New Hampshire.
	$1,049.99.
	Wow.
	And he says he hopes it makes it into the Thursday show, and it did.
	And then he says, I'll send a note to John.
	And it didn't.
	I got no Travis anything in my inbox, and it's nothing other than the name Donation, so I don't know.
	When it does come in, we'll definitely read it, because it's a high-end.
	I would like to say something.
	If a note doesn't go through, please try emailing it to adamatkurry.com.
	I had someone who was really mad, man.
	They thought that you blocked them.
	They said, you block nights.
	You're horrible.
	You suck.
	I'm never donating again.
	I said, was it by any chance a squirrel mail block?
	He says, oh, okay.
	He said, I didn't block you.
	He said, you blocked me.
	I didn't block you.
	He's like, you're emailing me, aren't you?
	I went back and forth with the guy about this being blocked, but I'm getting his note now.
	So it was blocked.
	And so I sent it over to the guy that runs Squirrel Mail in the ctime.com operation.
	And he says, tell the guy to stop shouting.
	I guess if you put all caps in the note...
	Too many all caps, it gets kicked.
	I get no spam.
	So when you say, put donation in the note, people do all caps donation.
	No, that's fine.
	That's never gotten blocked.
	It's in the note itself.
	The system he has looks at the notes.
	That's why if you're cussing me out, the note will not get through.
	Wow.
	Well, I would just like to say there are backups.
	If it doesn't work, then you can do notes at noagendashow.net or adamatcurry.com.
	You probably should have all the bases covered by that.
	But we did not get his note, unfortunately.
	Jim Parker's next on the list.
	We got his note, but his note just says his name.
	$400 from Palmer, Alaska.
	And he says, Jim Parker, Nick River Ranch.
	The Alaskans have perked up in the last couple of weeks.
	One of our guys was at Palmer, the guy who's No, it was Mike Salmon, who sent an apologetic note, which I should probably read.
	He's the guy that you condemned for promoting his inn, if you remember.
	But I'm sorry, he wasn't promoting his inn.
	He asked us to read every item on the menu, including brunch.
	Yeah, it was out of control.
	He's apologizing.
	He says, my intent was to donate $333 to my favorite podcast and plug our in to your listeners.
	And then he didn't do this, but he says he wanted to offer a discount to producers, justify future donations to my wife based on responses to the ad in your show.
	My misunderstanding was it was tolerable but not favored to do a little ad in exchange for the producership.
	And then he says, on my phone it looks shorter than when you read it.
	I was overexcited because we walked from a good life with a security in exchange for a failing business that needed six months of love to get going again.
	That's what he should have put in his note.
	Yeah, he should have.
	That's the story.
	Unfortunately, now this time he leaves out the name of the ranch again.
	No.
	And the code to get a cheap room.
	Well, we didn't have a code last time.
	That was part of the problem.
	No, I know.
	Mike, get your act together.
	Dude?
	Okay.
	It was Mike Salmon.
	He'll figure.
	Eventually this will work.
	Okay.
	Alright.
	And people will be flocking to his place.
	I hope so.
	I hope so.
	It's not Jim's place.
	Okay, what do we got here?
	James Hellams from Encinitas, California.
	Encinitas, yes.
	Encinitas, 35813.
	Greetings from Cardiff-by-the-Sea, California.
	Huh?
	How does that work?
	Is there a Cardiff by the Sea?
	I think there is a Cardiff by the Sea, and I think that's where he is.
	It just comes in from Encinitas.
	Oh, that's interesting.
	I didn't realize.
	I found the No Agenda show in November 2020, so this donation is long overdue.
	The No Agenda show is my regular sanity calibrator.
	As a father of three three-year-old boys, I can use all the amygdala shrinking I can get.
	Do you think he has triplets?
	Three, three year old, you think, or some other family configuration.
	This donation goes two ways, half for me and half for the monk who hit me in the mouth.
	I would say he needs a dedouching, but since he's already put in his time and talent creating the Trump dumps jingle, he won't need one.
	Please put him on your birthday list for January 30th.
	You guys really do make an incredible show.
	Keep up the work and thank you for all that you do.
	I don't think he's on the list.
	Well, we don't know his name then, do we?
	So I don't know what to put on the list, but I figured since we can't do that, I'll play him some Monk Karma, and that should work along with the other requested jingles.
	They did dumps.
	They call them dumps.
	Big, massive dumps.
	You've got karma.
	Yikes.
	Yeah, here we go.
	Here's Sir Darren O'Neill coming in from Illinois.
	33333.
	What does he have to say?
	Hello, John and Adam.
	This is my great honor to submit this donation on behalf of the infamous comic strip blogger.
	Wow.
	Okay, so this is Darren, top artist of the week, helping out the little guy.
	His dislike of Brexit caused him to declare that the...
	That he'd donate the No Agenda.
	That's interesting.
	For the very first time.
	That's true.
	If Italy beat England...
	Oh, he's going to do it if Italy beat England in the soccer championship.
	Yeah, sorry I had to trounce you on that one.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, we will get an explanation when you feel like it.
	Whenever you want.
	He has made good on that promise.
	Could you please de-douche comic strip blogger?
	Oh, I see.
	So this is Darren O'Neill...
	Okay, I see it here.
	He made...
	I'm just going to read ahead here.
	And you're going to have to do a switcheroo.
	Yes, he made good on that.
	Could you please deduce...
	His constant quest for privacy caused him to send me Bitcoin so I could convert it to fiat, also known as cuck bucks, and send it along to you.
	He had no note to attach but said, Remind Dvorak he needs to come on your grumpy old Ben's podcast.
	God, it feels good to do him again.
	And to add anything else I wanted, I would like you to request a goat scream in honor of my parents' 60th wedding anniversary, which is today.
	Then bid you adieu!
	Cheers, Sir Darren O'Neill!
	Okay?
	We got a goat scream for you.
	Rick B. 333 from Elko, Nevada, sent a second installment of 333 via PayPal towards my future knighthood and as a mark of appreciation for your continued diligence and unique work.
	It also happens I am a 7-Eleven baby too, honored to be in such distinguished company as my lovely wife, the keeper, and Jay, your daughter.
	In anticipation of my imminent knighthood, please reserve the title Sir Rick Hallowed Rider of the Purple Sage for my cross-country antics.
	A little sharpened spelling and some Kamala biscuit birthday would be nice.
	Well, we can give you both.
	Where is...
	Okay, what else do you want here?
	We'll do the longer respect.
	They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
	He's getting lunch at...
	Triple A! The Tortise...
	In the race.
	Kim Kardashian, Sigournoy Weaver, Rush.
	R-E-S-P-I-C-T.
	They're all jitty.
	R-E-S-P-I-C-T.
	There's no real conflict.
	We must resist.
	Just a little bit.
	We must.
	Just a little bit.
	We must.
	And we will much.
	About that.
	Be committed.
	The gift that keeps on giving.
	Thank you for requesting that.
	Happy to play.
	All right.
	So, Anonymous writes in on a note here.
	He gives us...
	What is the amount of money here?
	$333.33.
	$333.
	Mm-hmm.
	He's an ER doctor and he says, not sure which email address to send this to.
	Apologize in advance if this is incorrect, but just, man, he goes on and on.
	I know you're very busy, so I'll keep it short.
	He doesn't.
	I'm an ER doctor and worked in several systems throughout Texas.
	And this is kind of interesting.
	I think you'll be interested in it because he talks about Hill Country doctoring.
	I find people in general have an inaccurate view of what medicine is like in practice, in America at least.
	I would like to write a blurb if you have any specific questions I can answer.
	He goes on.
	I would like to share a few thoughts in regards to COVID. Not to be shared on the show.
	And he goes on about the locals.
	Okay, so I won't have to read it.
	Good.
	But he does say, we are experiencing a mini spike out here in Texas Hill Country.
	Adam, I don't know where you're relocated, but something for you to consider.
	I write for a whole cocktail of medications, including ivermectin, in most cases of COVID, but still have many, many colleagues who don't write for anything.
	They won't give any medications.
	Moreover, I still get weird looks when they find out that I do.
	I've overheard patients specifically asking for a prescription of ivermectin and other medications, which the doctor refused to give.
	Medical people are just people.
	Whatever it is we're going through as a society right now, mass hysteria, my theory, tribalism, fear, fill in the blank.
	Just medical people are not immune.
	It's easy for me to dismiss politicians or administrators operating somewhere, but it's hard to do so when it affects us.
	I would say it's not immune.
	I think it's the norm.
	That's how you're taught.
	Diagnose, prescribe.
	That's what's being taught today.
	Then you read it from some list.
	My medical colleagues drink the Kool-Aid and ask for seconds.
	In Texas, of all places, it's a surprise.
	Thanks again for all you do.
	I've been hooked ever since I first listened to Adam on The Joe Rogan Show.
	Oh, my goodness.
	Thank you.
	Okay.
	You can take...
	Now we go to the associate executive producers.
	Yes, we have Brian Dennison, 23456, one of our favorite sequence of numbers.
	For Jingle like WTC7, the Trump hole load.
	It's not Trump, it's Biden.
	And jobs, karma for all.
	And says, hey guys!
	Trying out this new drunk donation moniker I've been hearing about lately.
	Love us later now.
	Feels real groovy.
	Tanked.
	Tanked for all you do.
	Oh, and John...
	Please stay safe and get that Kev Vinegar book out.
	He must have been really hammered to say that.
	WTC7 won't go away.
	I'm going to give you the whole load today.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Yeah!
	Mr.
	Karma.
	Sir Man of the Center, 22222.
	Listener since 2015.
	John, you are accurate.
	You are accurate.
	Public health is full of people.
	You are accurate, comma?
	Yeah, it should be.
	I don't see the comma, so that's the problem.
	John, you are accurate.
	Public health is full of people who are frustrated they weren't being listened to more in normal times.
	I believe this to be true.
	I went to school in this.
	Oh, he studied it.
	As a PayPal...
	Char character limit may comment more on NA Social, Sir Man of the Center.
	Well, if you do a cut and paste, there's no character limit.
	The problem is when you hit the return key, boom, it sends it.
	It's done.
	It's done.
	Exactly.
	That's what you've got to avoid.
	Christopher Howell, Hagerstown, Maryland, 20202.
	Another cool number.
	Not my first donation, but this is my first associate executive producership.
	Congratulations, and please de-douche me.
	You've been de-douched.
	Also, please call out my brother Kenneth and co-worker Dave as douchebags.
	Kenneth and Dave.
	I hit them both in the mouth.
	Neither has yet to donate.
	Thanks, guys, for the show and deconstruction service you provide.
	Get safe, be safe, feel safe.
	Jingles, Birthday Biscuit, Sleepy Joe, R2D2, Karma!
	They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
	Sleepy Joe!
	Sleepy Joe!
	You've got...
	Karma.
	She's just the cutest.
	I love her.
	Sleepy Joe.
	If you can break out page two, which I can't figure out which one of these sheets is page two, does Sir Egghead give you?
	It's $201.33.
	Yeah, I got page two.
	Oh, no, I have it right here.
	It's a note.
	He wrote it by hand.
	There is no otter like you.
	Aw, cute.
	IGM. Better late than never.
	Here is a handwritten.
	Here's a handmade...
	From sticks that cause from the June 6th meetup in Dayton something.
	Well, I may have a better copy here.
	Hold on a second.
	I can read it.
	ITM John, 20133, better late than never.
	Here is a head made from sticks that came from the June 6th meetup in Dayton, Ohio, although we forgot to take up donations.
	Here's some dollar sign.
	Much love!
	I love that.
	Thank you.
	Sir Scatman.
	I did not see the head with the stick on it.
	He is the seating person extraordinaire of SWFL, Southwestern Florida.
	$200 associate executive producership.
	Meetup report attached for the Fort Myers meetup brunch on 7-Eleven.
	Received and cued.
	No one present was a douchebag.
	Aha!
	That's right.
	Maybe it's just Miami and Tampa that suck.
	Lots of royalty, good food, good conversations, and people from all walks of life.
	Thanks to the staff at Exetera Cafe for taking great care of us.
	We are planning more meetups in this area, including one this Saturday in Punta Gorda, hosted by Dame Zill in address.
	And then he...
	I would like to...
	Now, you misspelled it, which is good, because you spelled it S-E-I-G. It would be S-I-E-G. Don't put this in PayPal notes.
	Don't put Seek Heil in PayPal notes, Sir Scatman.
	It's dumb.
	That gets us shut down.
	Yeah, you can get us killed.
	Or worse, you can get us killed.
	But, of course, we do appreciate the support.
	And it's a good meetup.
	It's a good meetup report.
	Actually, that came in.
	That was an email.
	That came in as an email that I forwarded to Eric.
	So it wasn't in the PayPal note.
	Well, how come your spam blocker didn't block it?
	That's what I'm thinking.
	Right?
	Because he misspelled C. He misspelled C, Kyle.
	Otherwise, it would have been blocked.
	Oh, my goodness.
	Don't be cute.
	Emma Caldwell's next on the list of 200 bucks, Little Ridge, New Brunswick, Canada.
	I made a one-time donation to the show to de-douche my husband, Jesse Caldwell, for his birthday.
	I somehow missed the option to add the message before the transaction was complete.
	Can you help me out by wishing Jesse from New Brunswick, Canada a happy birthday from his family?
	I think you're on the list.
	Our kids walk around the house saying...
	The kids walk around the house saying, You've been de-douched!
	Which has got to be funny.
	And after today, the kids will also be rocking around the house going...
	Blowjob!
	And if I could ask for one more favor, can you call out Eric Lame, I'm sorry, pronounced Lame, for being a douchebag?
	Douchebag!
	I have attached a recent receipt from the donation.
	I appreciate any help you can provide.
	And I think it was, I think we did the help by reading this note.
	Yeah, I would think so.
	Uh, Dave Ocker from Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, where they're running out of coal.
	Uh, I've got a couple jingles here.
	Uh, oh, oh, that's good.
	He wants, uh, R2D2 Karma, also wants a foamer, and he wants anything from Alex Jones, uh, which I happen to have.
	Believe it or not, I have something new.
	Good, so I'll put that in.
	Um...
	Forgive me, guys, for I'm a douchebag.
	Please de-douche me.
	You've been de-douched.
	My friend and co-worker Chris hit me in the mouth over a year ago.
	He came to work yesterday and was ranting about some interesting information that was going on to send to you in this donation letter, and he was going to call me out as a douchebag.
	Well, I cannot let that happen, so take my money.
	It's well-deserved.
	We work for a fire department, and your podcast has kept us sane in the COVID-induced hysteria.
	Your podcast is truly the best.
	Cool.
	Do you think it's in the firehouse?
	I would hope they play it in the firehouse.
	That's great.
	Hey, firehouse!
	And then all of a sudden it's like...
	And they have to stop.
	Like, oh man, hold on.
	Let's just listen to one more jingle.
	The fire can wait.
	Your podcast is truly the best in the universe.
	My wife was an LPN at a doctor's office.
	What kind of nurse is that?
	A limited practitioner?
	I don't want it.
	LPN. LPN at a doctor's office.
	And was laid off due to a need to place all the more senior nurses that could not work in the elective surgeries.
	It worked out as she had time to care for our second human resource.
	I try to get my wife to listen, but she likes music too much.
	But when she hears something, she always asks, what did John and Adam have to say about that?
	Thank you both of you.
	The boys.
	Oh, LPN is a junior registered nurse.
	Thanks, Trolls.
	Um...
	Thank you both for your hard work.
	John, stay safe.
	John can tell me to go F myself off on a term of endearment in the fire station.
	See?
	It isn't...
	Hey!
	Hey, you fire guys!
	Go F yourself!
	Oh my God!
	Woo!
	Listen to that horn!
	You look back on Rainbow Dildo Monkey Rapers as a good thing.
	You've got...
	Karma.
	I'm sorry.
	I could not resist.
	And finally on the list is fakeologist.com, which is in Ontario.
	It's a podcast, Fakeologist, $200.
	The Fakeologist, yeah, he's been around for a long time with us.
	Yes, he knows what he's doing.
	Thank you for your inspirational show.
	Thank you for your inspirational show, he writes, The Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	Your excellent tech talk, your media deconstruction, and your incredible consistency showing up week after week after week makes your podcast stand out from the rest.
	The value-for-value model is an excellent idea, and I've employed it successfully on my podcast at fakeologist.com.
	I also have my own video platform, fakeotube.com.
	Innovative.
	Fakotube.
	Innovative.
	I'm going to use that.
	Where I post my favorite truth videos that are in danger of being removed.
	This is my fifth donation of $200, so please knight me.
	Aha!
	Whoa!
	Do we have said knighting on the schedule?
	I doubt it.
	Well, it's got a color, so maybe.
	Let me just check.
	This is my fifth.
	So knight me as Sir Fakeologist of Scandinavia, please.
	And he's got some jingles, which I will...
	Hold on.
	It'll be Sir...
	So he was not on the list.
	No.
	Sir Fakeologist of Scandinavia...
	Okay.
	So he's got WTC7 won't go away the same way the Surfside condo in Florida was empty and then demolished.
	He's talking about the one that they demolished, not the one that fell apart.
	And the victims...
	Oh, he says...
	No, he thinks the whole thing was faked.
	Well, he's the fakeologist, bro.
	He's the fakeologist.
	He's the fakeologist, right?
	Everything's fake.
	So just WTC7 won't go away.
	We'll do the trick.
	WTC7 won't go away.
	And then I have a make good from Jamie, which I shall read.
	She read us the riot act.
	Well, it starts off with Dear Buzzkill, so I don't know if it's us, Kimo Sabe, he said with a racist undertone.
	Okay, she read me the riot act.
	Dear Buzzkill, you are living up to your nickname.
	Twice now I've donated to the Any Amount Dedication and have been snubbed!
	June 20, 2021, I requested a dedication to Sir Mad Hatter from Dame Jamie and Offspring.
	Who is slash was spending Father's Day in a setting, oh, in Alabama setting up our new home in a, oh no, all day setting up our new home in a conservative state.
	Yes, because Connecticut sucks, so they're leaving Connecticut going to Alabama.
	June 20th, 2020.
	Culture shock.
	Dedicate to Sir Matt Hatter from Dame Jamie.
	Why make these any amount if you can't pick up on the lesser donations?
	It's a wording issue.
	June is not an easy month for extra play money.
	Your squirrels suck as much as Connecticut.
	It's referring to your squirrel mail.
	Your squirrels suck as much as Connecticut.
	I tried to send a nice, hey, you missed my daddy day shout-out, and the squirrels told me my email doesn't exist.
	Snubbed again!
	And, while I have your attention, why make comments like, we always break for nights during the $200 to $50 segment, but bail on dames!
	Wow, she's calling the misogynist card on us now.
	Oh, yeah.
	Is our money not as good?
	Should we only be donating $0.70 on the dollar?
	Now my wrist hurts.
	I never write this much.
	Too much arthritis.
	And she handwrote this screen.
	Oh yeah, handwritten.
	In green.
	In the past you have said, handwritten notes always get read, so I hope this gets to you at least.
	Tell Sir Mad Hatter how much his wife adores him.
	Love the show.
	It makes for excellent info statement during the drives from Alabama to Connecticut, despite being miffed.
	Still love you.
	Still love you.
	Heart, heart.
	XOXO, Dame Jamie.
	Dame Jamie, we're really sorry.
	Obviously we're sorry.
	I think this is all bullcrap.
	I don't think we missed anything.
	Oh my God.
	Okay, can we just say, there's a certain point, John, in life when you just take the L. Just go with it.
	And Dame Jamie, thank you very much for the...
	That was actually a cute note that made me laugh a lot and made me feel stupid because I'm sorry.
	Sometimes, you know, we don't have a $100 billion operation and...
	No, we're low budget.
	Honestly, it's a lot of work.
	You know, we don't have a single system.
	We're not like Apple where, you know, get everything from us and we'll take 30%.
	You know, it's easy to track.
	No.
	We're independent, so it comes in in many different ways.
	Truly independent media.
	Truly independent.
	And so sometimes stuff falls through the cracks.
	Well, we showed that we will break and read handwritten notes.
	This was a handwritten note.
	It was very entertaining.
	I certainly do.
	Thank you for your courage.
	Getting back to, by the way, just as a thought, moving from Connecticut to Alabama has got to be the damnedest thing.
	And hit me up because my partner Dave Jones is in Alabama.
	If there's anything you need or any information, I'm sure I'd be more than happy to point you in the right direction.
	Yes, absolutely do that because you're going to need some direction.
	No, you're going to need some because the culture shock, I mean, I love Alabama.
	For one thing, you can see all the pork from the two senators that are always from Alabama.
	They got roads.
	I mean, I've been in Alabama and driven on back.
	Every road there seems to actually be paved.
	As opposed to here, Highway 80, a U.S. interstate with potholes every which way that could break your axles.
	Alabama is well cared for, so you're going to like it.
	It's a nice state, and the people are very friendly.
	And we thank Dame Jamie and Sir Matt Hatter and all the offspring and, of course, our executive and associate executive producers for episode 1,364 of the No Agenda Show, still the best podcast in the universe because you make it that way.
	You're producing it.
	You deliver to us.
	It's time, talent, treasure.
	You're all doing your part.
	It's highly appreciated.
	And if you'd like to get in on the treasure part and some of these fun notes, just go to vorac.org.
	Looking forward to that.
	Again, thank you for your time, your talent, your treasure for episode 1364.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Order!
	Order!
	Shut up, slay!
	Shut up, slay!
	I think it would be important to discuss the trifecta that is Cuba, Haiti, and South Africa.
	I believe they're all part of the same thing.
	Okay, that sounds right.
	It's all happening at the same time, and it's fishy.
	And a lot of it feels very, very analogous to Black Lives Matter, where you had protests, they turned violent, and they're going after a certain group, and they're spurred on.
	Haiti...
	I think I'll probably start in reverse order.
	South Africa first, because it is being covered, but the devastation and destruction, food is gone, the army and police are nowhere to be seen, they've destroyed oil refineries, so gasoline is now scarce.
	This is becoming a huge...
	I believe it is racial.
	The mainstream media came out with all kinds of crazy things.
	Oh yeah, it's because their leader, Zuma, was arrested.
	Now, I don't think so.
	Yeah, I don't buy that either.
	Because we have producers in South Africa, many of them, and they are recording things.
	And we'll start with...
	Now, this is just a revolution leader, someone with a bullhorn standing in the crowd.
	Why does he It's kind of hard.
	You'll get into the accent, but he's saying, go after Indians.
	Go there and kill Indians and burn their houses.
	Go to white areas.
	Go there, once you're done with looting, go there and kill white community.
	Then and burn their houses.
	So go to the Indian communities, burn their houses, kill the Indians, and kill the white people.
	I don't have names or anything, but these are videos that I've turned into audio, so they're authentic from there.
	I'm not sure who this is, but this guy gives it away.
	This is Black Lives Matter.
	Comrades!
	When you start off with comrades, what do you think that is?
	Comrades!
	Comrades?
	Comrades?
	Are you kidding me now?
	Comrades!
	It is with great sadness and regret that one of our black men has suffered the loss of his truck.
	Please, comrades, stay away from any belongings of the black people.
	Our fight is not against ourselves.
	We should not target anything that is owned by the black people.
	We should not fight any business, whether it's a tag shop, it's a salon, or it's a company that is owned by the black person.
	Comrades and revolutionaries, the character and the form of this resolution is that we are fighting the white establishment.
	We are fighting the white supremacists.
	We are not fighting ourselves.
	Thank you.
	What the heck?
	This is a full-on assault.
	This is how you get great reset.
	This is how you screw people over, particularly people with brown skin in sometimes sandy areas, in this case, just South Africa.
	But this is not good, what is happening.
	And I believe similar things are happening.
	When this was South Africa, I was thinking it was Haiti.
	No, this is South Africa.
	That's South Africa.
	I said I was going to do them in reverse.
	That was all South Africa.
	Okay, good.
	Now, we know that there's been a huge racial strife there, but when you get someone talking about comrades, go after white supremacy, then you know this is the message.
	These people have been riled up, been told that whitey is the problem and they're going to kill him.
	Not a new problem in South Africa.
	No, but at this extreme, this was actually already run, if you remember, Zimbabwe and Rhodesia.
	What was that guy with the trillion dollars of...
	Tanzania?
	Tanzania?
	Was it Tanzania?
	Maybe.
	Anyway, there's already a bunch of black countries that have gone after the whites and gotten them out of there.
	South Africa's been going on a little bit, but this has taken it to the extreme.
	Now, Cuba is a little more interesting.
	But I like the comrade thing.
	So we're dealing with the same communist movement, Marxist communist movement that we're seeing in this country.
	And it's based on race.
	The hatred and the fear is race-based and it's driven by that.
	Cuba is a little more interesting.
	The reason why it's a little different is they have a song, very much like Winds of Change by the Scorpions was a song written by the CIA, probably promoted by the CIA, to bring down the Berlin Wall.
	They have a song which is a parody of a national song, which is for country or death, and it's a hip-hop song, and now it's for country or life, La Vida.
	And I have a little clip here from ABC this morning about Cuba.
	This morning, new turmoil in Cuba.
	Cuba!
	The largest demonstrations in nearly three decades in a country notorious for cracking down on dissent.
	An economic crisis has hit the island nation hard, forcing people to wait hours in line for food and job opportunities, scarce since the pandemic.
	Cuba's president blames U.S. restrictions on exports, foreign funds and travel.
	Cubans across the U.S. voicing their support for the protesters.
	Thousands shutting down streets in Miami Sunday.
	Many demanding American politicians intervene.
	I want to see the president to see something and to do something for you and now.
	In April, Raul Castro stepped down as leader, prompting increasing calls for change in the communist nation.
	Well, I just want to say, if you do a search, Soros Cuba, sit down for half an hour.
	Nice.
	Go ahead.
	I was just going to mention, they have brought Raoul out of retirement to advise the current president.
	To deal with this, yeah.
	Because they're obviously not doing a good job of it.
	This could be...
	This is a counter-revolutionary.
	This is what happens.
	This seems a little different than South Africa, which never was communized.
	It is, but I think...
	But I like the idea of trying to connect him.
	Well, no, I'm going to connect it to Haiti.
	That's kind of more the idea.
	But there's something else going on with this Cuba because this puts the Biden administration in an odd spot.
	You know, what are you going to say?
	What are you going to do?
	I mean, after all, they were all, you know, this is Obama 3 and they loved all the communists.
	And then this little ditty from Pitbull, you know Pitbull.
	Yeah, Pitbull the singer.
	Yeah, well he does an interesting call out here.
	And it gets me hot, it bothers me and it frustrates me to a certain extent, being a Cuban American and having a platform to speak to the world and not being able to help my own people.
	Not being able to get them food, not being able to get them water, not being able to get them medicine.
	But most of all, not being able to help and really get them what they deserve, which is freedom.
	And this is my way of talking to the world.
	All world allies, get together to help.
	Global businesses, get together to help.
	People that we're so proud of, people such as a Jeff Bezos, Cuban-American, graduated from a high school in Miami, built one of the biggest companies in the world, the richest man in the world.
	He's somebody that can get involved and really help us.
	I never considered that.
	Call out Bezos.
	Where are you, Jeff?
	Too busy flying to the moon?
	When was Bezos a Cuban-American?
	Are you going to doubt Pitbull?
	I'm going to have to look his body up now.
	Well, okay.
	Hold on a second.
	Consult the book of night.
	While you're looking that up, just while we're talking about Bezos for a moment, just want to play some Gil Scott Heron, who called it back then.
	A rat done bit my sister Nell with Whitey on the moon.
	Her face and arms began to swell and Whitey's on the moon.
	This was when Whitey was going to the moon and everything was messed up in the hood.
	And it's just coming back again.
	And that's what they're going to get, these a-holes.
	That's part of it.
	But I think what Pitbull is saying is instead of flying around your damn rocket ship, do something for our peoples.
	For our peoples, Jeff Bezos.
	Don't you think?
	Jeff Bezos was born in Albuquerque.
	His original name was Jorgensen.
	No way!
	Clearly.
	No way!
	Pitbull is making it up!
	Bezos graduated from Princeton.
	He was raised in Houston, and then later he moved to Miami.
	Oh, then you're just Cuban.
	If you're in Miami, you're Cuban.
	Hey!
	He's telling me that there's not a drop of Cuban blood in him?
	Well, I'm trying to find it.
	This is...
	Let's see what it says about his...
	I go down to early life.
	He was born in Albuquerque.
	Jacqueline Guise and Theodore Jorgensen with the O with the line through it.
	One of those names.
	Doesn't sound very Cuban to me.
	A small strand in the island of Samso in...
	Then in Holbrook County, Zealand.
	This is getting funny.
	It was actual...
	He's Denmark, Danish.
	He's a Dane.
	Immigrated around 1900 to Chicago.
	This is the history of Jorgensen with his wife, Minnie.
	The son of the father, Ted Jorgensen.
	Jeff Bezos' biological father.
	At the time of his birth, his mother is a 17-year-old high school student and his father is 19 after completing high school.
	Ah, here we go.
	Jacqueline attended night school with bringing baby Jeff along.
	After his parents' divorce, his mother married Cuban immigrant Miguel Bezos.
	Shortly after the wedding, Mike adopted a four-year-old Jorgensen, whose name is then changed to Bezos.
	He's not Cuban.
	You know what that is?
	That's some pit bull crap is what that is.
	Pit bull crap.
	Well, that makes it even better.
	What a psyop this is.
	I think this is meant to have no one look at Haiti.
	Whatever you do, don't look at Haiti.
	Haiti's not good what's going on in Haiti.
	Look at Cuba.
	By the way, it's literally next door.
	It was right next door.
	Haiti.
	Oh, left.
	Oh, there's Cuba.
	Look at Cuba, Cuba, Cuba.
	Let's get people in the street.
	Don't look at Haiti.
	There's stuff wrong with the story!
	A major development overnight from the crisis in Haiti.
	Officials arresting a man with Florida ties accused of playing a central role in the assassination of President Jovenel Moise.
	Christian Emmanuel Sannin, a Haitian-born doctor based in Florida, allegedly used a U.S. security firm to hire Colombian nationals under the guise that they'd be his security guards.
	But Sannin then presented the guards with an arrest warrant for President Moise with the alleged intent of assuming the presidency himself.
	Haitian officials have not explained how the mission to arrest the president turned into a deadly plot, but now in a political vacuum.
	The people of Haiti face chaos and desperation.
	Haiti has been in the midst of a gas shortage and it leads to scenes like this, people lining up for fuel because the opportunity to get gas is spontaneous.
	Agents from the FBI and U.S. Homeland Security have arrived in Haiti to help with the investigation, but U.S. troops, despite a request from Haiti's interim leader, are not expected to be sent.
	Haiti's former first lady, who was critically injured in last week's attack, had surgery this weekend and is now recovering.
	So we're already in.
	Why are we in?
	Why are we in there investigating?
	Why?
	Because it's our spooks somehow that did this or some willing participants who were told, yeah, I'm going to be the rightful president.
	I'm going to hire you.
	Take me in.
	We'll just arrest him.
	Don't worry about it.
	You get one guy in there who's a shot and they kill him.
	And, and, and...
	Some trigger-happy maniac.
	Yeah, well, who would have that been?
	Maybe this guy!
	Breaking overnight, one of the suspects in the assassination of Haiti's president was an informant for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency.
	What?!
	The DEA says the suspect reached out to his contacts at the agency after Haiti's president was killed, and a DEA official urged him to surrender.
	And we know that from eyewitness, it was DEA, DEA, get on the ground, get on the ground.
	So it was an informant posing as a DEA agent, maybe.
	The whole thing stinks.
	It stinks.
	It stinks.
	And if you want the Haitian word, if you want to know what the Haitians are thinking about when they're living on the streets...
	When they're watching this, they of course have TikTok and YouTube.
	And ever since I started watching or reading Haiti Libra, people on the Haitian tip are sending me cool stuff.
	This is a local Haitian vlogger, let's put it that way.
	Yeah, so everybody's been talking about the Haitian president, the Haitian president, the Haitian president.
	We understand.
	It's in the news.
	What most of y'all don't get is that the news was created and fabricated because when I woke up that morning, I heard the gangs of Haiti have assassinated the president.
	And by noon, it was a different story that wasn't coming through the news.
	So since y'all not really up on the news, these are the four presidents from four countries that said no to this Scamdemic.
	And they're all dead.
	The Asian president was just the fifth one.
	How long shall they kill our prophets while we stand aside and look?
	And he's correct.
	Now, you can't say they were all assassinations, but the leaders of Tanzania, the Ivory Coast, Swaziland, Burundi, now Haiti, are all dead, and Bolsonaro has been rushed to the hospital for bowel blockage.
	Which I think means he can't poop.
	And I've been hearing about this for a while, but I'm glad I got a clip of someone else saying it.
	That, hey, these are all...
	And they did.
	Look it up.
	Well, Bolsonaro eventually did a vaccine deal, but he was very against...
	He would say, I had bullcrap.
	And you go back and look at every single one of these leaders, presidents or prime ministers, was against...
	Thought that this was a scam, didn't want vaccines, and now they're all dead.
	And Moisey was the same.
	What, the Pfizer hit squad?
	Dude, no.
	I mean, maybe it's much bigger than that.
	Ah.
	One world government.
	Great reset.
	Yeah.
	Well, they're moving in the right direction if that's the goal.
	This is...
	Just to back it up, back up the truck a mile, this may well be why, somebody may have been read in on this, and this may well be why Boris Johnson has just turned around 180 degrees and started marching in the other direction, totally in line with the...
	And he kept saying, he said, build back better, build back better.
	Mm-hmm.
	Because it was like, okay, we like you, Boris.
	We're going to tell you what's going on.
	You have a choice.
	You're going to be dead?
	Bow blockage or something?
	Don't worry, something bad's going to happen.
	Or you can play the game.
	We'll tell you what it is.
	We'll read you in on everything.
	Just read from the script and we'll be good to go.
	I mean, it's got to be something, you know, we've talked about this since day one since he changed his whole way of doing things.
	Listen, Boris, just tussle the hair, read the script, and you're good to go.
	Yes, and, I'm sorry, I think they're trying to do it here, too, with words like this.
	We're facing the most significant test of our democracy since the Civil War.
	The Confederates, back then, never breached the Capitol.
	As insurrectionists did on January the 6th.
	Insurrectionists, Confederates, South, Red States, variants, unvaccinated, killing people.
	Stop it, you evil shits.
	This is not cool.
	I mean, we laugh about it because we're...
	We're marching ahead.
	We're immune.
	And the idiot media, people aren't helping one bit.
	No, they are.
	They're helping them.
	And they're not read in.
	They're just dumb.
	Well, they are helping.
	A lot of them are read in because we have to assume that about 30% of the mainstream media is probably government guys.
	30%?
	Why are you lowballing?
	What the hell?
	I really can't believe it could be more than that.
	Well, they are helping.
	They're totally helping that.
	Totally.
	It's disgusting.
	They're un-American.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	Yeah, totally.
	Un-American.
	Let's see what happens to Tucker Carlson.
	He's going to be the number one target.
	They're targeting him now.
	Yeah.
	Keep an eye on Tucker.
	Glenn Greenwell's in Brazil.
	He doesn't care.
	He's in the jungle yet.
	He's not like in Sao Paulo.
	Yeah, but in Brazil is where bad things happen and armed guys show up and shoot everything up.
	Yes, but he's got his little army too.
	He has an army?
	He's got his bodyguards.
	He's got people that...
	He's talked about armed guys trying to come in.
	All I got here is Paul the...
	Paul the septic guy.
	By the way, I'll take Paul the Septic Guy any day.
	Any day.
	Any day.
	Yes, sir.
	Yeah, well, you're surrounded by...
	Or our handyman, Mike, the former cop.
	Oh, yeah.
	You're more likely to have gotten in trouble in Austin than you are out there in the middle of nowhere.
	I think we squeaked out before the door closed.
	I really do.
	Yeah, I'm getting that impression, too.
	I really do.
	It's kind of nuts.
	Anything else?
	One of our producers that moved from Connecticut to Alabama, she has no idea how lucky she's going to be.
	Oh, she's going to feel great about that.
	Yeah.
	I mean, Connecticut truly is where truly the evil people live.
	I mean, it's all the hedge fund people, everyone's up there.
	Yeah.
	And they're douches.
	It's interesting.
	I don't know if you saw this going around.
	People are sending out an article of a 1972 prediction by MIT. And back in 72, they used the world simulation model to learn how our world would do from 1972 all the way through 20,060.
	And wouldn't you know it, in 1972, that MIT prediction predicted the collapse of society.
	By 2040, economic growth will halt.
	Food will become scarce.
	Human population will decline.
	Oh my God, MIT got one right.
	Well, they didn't get it right yet.
	Oh, my goodness.
	I mean, science fiction writers have got a lot of predictions, too.
	They have to readjust their...
	Oh, of course.
	Where's the flying cars?
	Right, right.
	Where's my hoverboard?
	Exactly.
	Although, the flying cars, I do have a clip.
	Really, no.
	I saw this thing, because you have to see the visual.
	You should look at this.
	This car has got you written all over it.
	It's a really nice-looking flying car that works.
	Oh, I've seen this one.
	Sure.
	Play the clip.
	Futuristic vehicles are turning science fiction into reality.
	This week, a company in Slovakia tested a flying car prototype, sending it soaring between two city airports.
	The roadworthy vehicle can be transformed into a plane within just a few minutes.
	By extending its narrow folded wings and retractable tail, a four-wheeled car transforms into an airplane in under three minutes.
	This is Aircar, a prototype flying car developed by Slovakian company Kleinvision.
	On Monday, Aircar completed a 35-minute test flight between two Slovak airports.
	The company founder and designer Stefan Klein drove it straight off the runway and into town.
	The intercity flight distance measured in at about 50 miles.
	The car has flown at an altitude of over 8,000 feet, reaching a maximum cruising speed of almost 120 miles per hour.
	The company said it was the car's 142nd successful landing.
	It's completed over 40 hours worth of test flights so far, including tests for stability and maneuverability.
	According to Kleinvision, Aircar's second prototype is expected to reach cruising speeds of almost 190 miles per hour.
	Yes, I have seen this vehicle.
	As you know, I track all, certainly experimental aircraft.
	I love this aircraft.
	I would buy it if I had the money.
	I never will.
	It's going to be very expensive.
	I think this will be...
	I think it's a guy's hobby project.
	He built it for himself so he can travel around Slovakia.
	No, no, no.
	No, no, no.
	That's not true.
	You think this is going to be a commercial product?
	Well, very few of these products ever really make it all the way through, but the way...
	I can show you 15 flying cars.
	Some of them have flown.
	This one actually has a lot of...
	I think they got a lot of the pieces right.
	The way you do it is you get your couple of your suckers.
	It's the other way around.
	Look, here's this model I made.
	Look at this car, flying car.
	I need a million dollars to get started.
	You go to the sucker like me if I had money, say, hey man, you'll get number one and you need to invest.
	And then when that money runs out, you go more and then you get people to pre-buy.
	It's very much the Tesla model except getting an aircraft certified in the air can take 10 years.
	So it's going to be a while.
	This one will be very expensive.
	But I love it.
	I love it.
	And I looked at it and said, this is a really nice design.
	Yeah.
	On the road, too, you don't look like a dork.
	It's kind of like a...
	Which is one of the problems.
	It kind of looks like the Speed Racer car, the white Speed Racer car.
	Yeah, it's a good-looking vehicle.
	Yeah.
	No, I like it a lot.
	I wanted to just talk about Italy-England, the game.
	And now, there were a couple things I knew that maybe I forgot to mention.
	But this was an easy call for me, and I think that they did a great job.
	Congratulations to the Dutch referee, who has coincidentally refereed every single time England has lost in the finals.
	So that was clue number one, that he was going to be the ref.
	He's also a millionaire.
	Clue number two, well this was kind of a long shot for me, was it would be great if we can get some racism going again in England, and boy did that pay off!
	When the one during the penalty kicks, the black player missed and people were just all over social media with the N-word.
	You know how racist they are in England.
	They just went off on, oh, this black guy did it.
	And I'm like, oh, wow, you couldn't have asked for a better setup than that.
	But then this kind of clinched it.
	Italy was on a 33-game unbeaten streak going into the finals.
	So...
	It was pretty obvious.
	Well, if you'd have brought these issues up, I'd have been on the Italian side of this debate.
	But I... I thought, just going by pure politics, I still thought, I was wrong, obviously, because I lost.
	But I thought that maybe this was the make good, the okay, we're going to be friends, the EU and the UK and you and your Brexit people.
	Oh no, it was a big F you, an extra F you.
	And look at how racist you are.
	Yeah, it was just another stomp in the head.
	And we dodged a bullet because look how racist they are.
	It had everything, everything you wanted in there.
	Good job.
	Well done, elites.
	Yeah, it was good.
	Did you watch the game?
	It was a great game.
	I enjoyed the game.
	I didn't watch the game.
	If it's a soccer game, it could have been nil-nil, you know, the way I see it.
	It was a great game.
	Soccer is never a great game.
	It's never great.
	It's interesting.
	There's a couple good shots.
	It's like the hour of nothing.
	No, it was very active.
	There was a lot going on.
	There really was.
	You just missed it all, man.
	You don't understand the game.
	I understand the game.
	I played it when I was a kid.
	Really?
	Yeah, of course.
	We played soccer.
	I remember, the only thing I do remember, though, we had this really bruiser that was one of the players, and he had kicked at the ball and hit some poor kid in the leg, in the calf, and cracked his bones, so there was like two breaks.
	It was like a chunk taken out in the middle, and it made a sound that just makes me cringe when I still think about it.
	You hear the leg cracking.
	I've heard one of those in school on the football pitch, yeah.
	Mark Kroon.
	I remember his...
	And he was messed up for a year and a half after that.
	It got like broken right at the hip.
	And he was a kid that was a huge soccer fan.
	And I'm sure he would have loved to play at least semi-professional.
	That ended it.
	We were talking about the billionaires in space.
	I think you nailed it, man.
	What a dumb thing for these guys to do.
	And that's why I played Gil Scott Heron.
	You know, hey, we're sitting here in poverty.
	Homeless people got no food.
	And Whitey on the moon.
	Whitey billionaire.
	I'm sorry.
	The step Cuban is in space.
	That's what we're going to call now.
	Step Cuban.
	You know, the same with Richard Branson.
	So Richard Branson, he's pretty sensitive to the audience, because he's been in, of course, Virgin Records, so he does understand the feel, what the audience likes, what they reject.
	And I think he probably went back and said, damn, man, that's not really a good look.
	Let's do a promotion!
	I have an essay in Substack tomorrow, you'll see it, and it condemns this to an extreme.
	So he said, let's do a promotion.
	Quick, let's fix this.
	We turn now to billionaire Richard Branson's historic flight to space aboard his own spacecraft.
	Now he's launching an opportunity for everyday people to go on their own space adventure.
	Everyday people.
	Not the special people.
	Everyday people.
	The little people.
	Yes, there's going to be a point where people are just hoping one of these guys bites it.
	I understand that.
	That's such a dumb look.
	So historic.
	I don't think that...
	Now I don't...
	I'm wondering whether Bezos is going to go up because it's going to be anticlimactic.
	I think Musk is definitely not going up.
	Well, he bought a ticket.
	He made a big deal of buying a ticket from...
	Yeah, well, he can...
	Not from Bezos, from Branson for...
	Well, he's got his own rockets, too.
	He can't go up as long as he's still a CEO. They will never allow it.
	Well, they shouldn't allow going up on Branson's rocket either then.
	And that's what he'll do.
	He'll say, oh, I bought the ticket.
	I meant to go up.
	He's not going up.
	This is just a crazy one.
	Although, holy crap, we got such a great...
	Producers are the best in the universe.
	So I picked up on...
	I think when I got my first hearing aids, I made quite a study of it.
	And I really dove into it.
	And I think somehow I'm on the list of guys to email.
	If you want to know what to get for your grandma...
	Which is kind of demoralizing for me, but I want to help everybody, and I'm a big supporter of the profession of audiologist, of audiology.
	You need an audiologist to fit you.
	Your hearing aids in the initial stage.
	Now, I, of course, am an audio professional, so I was very lucky to find someone who would give me the forbidden software that only the audiologist can use on your subsequent visits because, you know, this person knew that I could do it.
	But I think it's bad for your health if it's done improperly.
	And we had this wave a few years ago of Silicon Valley-type companies, startups.
	It started with some crowdfunding with over-the-counter hearing aids that you don't need an audio.
	Now, they couldn't call them a hearing aid.
	Because that's illegal because it's a medical device.
	You put it in your ear and then you hook it up to your smartphone.
	Oh God, that's where I almost bailed.
	But okay.
	And then they'll do the series of beeps and you say, yes, I heard it.
	I didn't hear it.
	And they claim that they can get a perfect audiogram Equal to that of an audiologist, and the AI will magically make it all work.
	And I just don't believe it.
	I think that is a medical issue.
	I know a lot about this.
	You really should see an audiologist right down to cutting the tips of the hearing aid so that partial sound comes in.
	These are all little things that you're not going to get from a Silicon Valley company.
	Anyway, so there was this big executive order that President Biden signed, and I think I mentioned that in there was some provision for over-the-counter hearing aids.
	And I thought that was rather interesting.
	And what it turns out is it is a rule change that over-the-counter hearing aids can now be sold as medical devices.
	And you can call it a hearing aid.
	Before, you could only call it an amplification device, even if it claimed to be doing all kinds of cool audio sonic stuff with AI.
	But there are some caveats, which, of course, only a large company would be able to adhere to in order to keep the medical device classification and be sold over-the-counter, which will, by default, be cheaper than any of the high-end hearing aids because a lot of that goes towards the be cheaper than any of the high-end hearing aids because a lot of that goes And wouldn't you know, one of our producers, his or her brother, is an engineer at Bose.
	OG. And Bose made massive donations to Elizabeth Warren, and she's the one that introduced this as a bill first, and then it got into the executive order and passed.
	Complete cronyism by Senator Elizabeth Warren.
	I'm shocked!
	And it's bad for people.
	I think it's a bad idea.
	You need to do this medically.
	She is a horrible, horrible, horrible person.
	What a liar, Pocahontas.
	We said that before Trump, by the way.
	The, um, Bose is one of these companies that if you're in tech writing, uh, was blackballed.
	Really?
	Yeah, you don't write about Bose.
	Ever since, and this happened to a number of companies.
	This is why I love this show.
	This is why I love this show.
	Go.
	This happened to a number of companies, and a lot of them are out of business.
	Bose never went out of business.
	It's a very smart company.
	But people stopped writing about Bose.
	You were just kind of, when you, the blacklist is kind of like a, It doesn't exist.
	There's not some list like we're trying to put together, which would be nice.
	It's just one of these things that gets passed around.
	Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
	Editors.
	No.
	Why are you doing a feature on Bose?
	No, it's not going to happen.
	Because Bose, of all people to sue, they sued Consumer Reports.
	Over a review of the 901, the speaker system that was like a funny-looking box you hung up, and it had like six, seven speakers all around it.
	It created some array, and you put them side by side.
	And...
	And the commentator, the reviewer said the problem with this system was that it made the stereo imaging at this level.
	Oh, this is the angle.
	I remember these.
	They were angled speakers and had four in one and then two on the back.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	They said that the stereo imaging would wiggle around.
	And I know these guys who do this kind of reviewing.
	Even though it was Consumer Reports, I didn't expect this kind of stereo file review.
	But they bitched about the fact that the imaging of the stereo was not that great.
	And Bo sued Consumer Reports of all people to sue.
	It's an innocuous, more or less innocuous publication.
	It doesn't really drive a lot of sales for anybody.
	But they sued him.
	Boom!
	That was the end of them ever getting any coverage.
	Huh.
	Put a bag of dicks over there.
	Well, they handled it poorly, and it didn't help their long-term publicity at all.
	I mean, you get a call from anyone, you get the PR person, we're not touching this with a 10-foot ball, we don't want to get sued, is what the response usually is.
	Oh, we'd love to cover, we'd love to review your speakers, but we don't want to get sued.
	That's the way the litany goes.
	Wow.
	And so you never get, you get no coverage.
	Well, and you don't need it apparently.
	Or you get coverage like this, what we just did, negative coverage.
	Yeah, because they bought off a senator.
	And it must have been a lot of, I could not find this, I looked in Open Secrets, whatever it is.
	Yeah, Open Secrets.
	Yeah.
	I'd love for someone to point me to that.
	I believe it 100%, and it can be hidden in many ways.
	I would just like to know if we can prove that Bose did that, because it's disgusting.
	And it was her bill.
	She's had it on the books already, thanks to the donations, and she is hurting old people.
	But the bill never got passed.
	It went through as an executive order.
	That's correct.
	That's how chicken shit it is.
	Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
	One more thing that's in my craw, and it's just gotten so much better.
	I have been blowing the horn about credit karma and how it is digital slavery, particularly for poor people.
	Poor people!
	That was funny.
	I know you didn't see it.
	I told this part of this story on Rogan and Joe goes, how come I've never heard of this credit karma?
	And my immediate retort was, because you're not poor.
	And his face was like, hmm.
	Anyway, for poor people, what it does is it conditions you to buy things, do things, subscribe to certain things, pay things on time, just do certain things to increase your credit karma, right?
	Which is not an official credit score.
	They use something called the...
	Oh my God, I forgot what it's called.
	We've been through this so many times.
	With the V3.0 or whatever it is.
	It's a combination of things.
	It's some bogus number.
	And it's based partially on TransUnion and...
	What's the other one?
	Facts...
	Filofax.
	Equifax.
	I have no idea.
	Yeah.
	But they add all these other things to it.
	And so it's very confusing for consumers.
	Now, what you need to know about Credit Karma is they make offers to you for credit.
	Credit cards, lines of credit.
	And so it costs you nothing.
	They take a piece of the action.
	Now, I brought up months ago that Google is an investor in Credit Karma.
	Oh, they're just an investor.
	They just make investments.
	Bull crap.
	They're totally connecting names and they're totally aggregating all of this money, all this data together so that they can now offer you services.
	And Citibank has now teamed up with Google for the Citiplex account by Google Pay.
	And Credit Karma, what are they doing?
	Just gets better.
	Every day we buy things.
	And if you're like me, you buy things multiple times.
	This is a TikTok ad.
	Today because you love shopping, possibly too much.
	With Credit Karma, buying things is 10 times more fun.
	Every day you buy something with your Credit Karma debit card, you have a chance to win instant karma.
	Which basically means that Credit Karma may reimburse you for your purchase.
	Which is so exciting and makes shopping way more fun.
	Your daily coffee could be free.
	Your groceries could be free.
	Your manicure could be free.
	Credit Karma made shopping even more of my favorite thing to do than it already was because now I have a chance to win instant karma.
	How fun is that?
	Love you.
	Wow!
	That's dynamite.
	You know, you condemn these people and I see them as like some sort of odd geniuses in the world of selling people crap.
	I'm good at resisting this, but I have to admire it.
	Oh, I have no problem with the admiration.
	But here's the kicker.
	Now moving out of committee into Congress, with Elizabeth Warren's sticky-ass fingers all over it, Congress considering a credit reporting overhaul that has become too confusing for the consumer, and there is a suggestion that the government itself should be in charge of credit scores.
	And they even go as far to say that your credit score would not be determined just on your financial behavior.
	Dude!
	This is your social credit score.
	And the government's going to manage that?
	Hello, China!
	I mean, wow!
	And this is, to me, I'm just blown away.
	And then...
	This morning, you know, we've got the chairman of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, who had to show up in Congress because, oh, 5.6% inflation?
	Yeah, well, don't worry, we're going to have to do something about that.
	Okay.
	But then this popped up, which would be a beautiful supplement to the credit score run by the government, and that's the central bank digital currency.
	The EU announced yesterday they're doing it.
	They're going to take, I think it's until September, they're going to have the review, and then they're going to implement.
	Of course, it'll take several years, but they're doing it.
	The European Central Bank is going to do a central bank digital coin, like a cryptocurrency from the central bank.
	And this came up in his hearing this morning, and I was able to clip it.
	One of the things you said yesterday...
	This is a...
	What's his face?
	This is Powell.
	I'm sorry, Toomey.
	Senator Toomey.
	Is that one of the stronger arguments in favor of a CBDC is that, quote, you wouldn't need stable coins, you wouldn't need cryptocurrencies if you had a digital U.S. currency.
	Of course, isn't the reverse also true?
	If you have stable coins, cryptocurrencies in use, then maybe there's no need for a central bank digital currency.
	I guess my – two points.
	One is, it's my view that the development of a central bank digital currency by the Fed would require congressional authorization.
	I'm wondering if you share that view.
	And secondly, it is still not clear to me what problem a central bank digital currency would solve.
	And I wonder if you think there are problems that only a central bank digital currency can solve.
	First, I'm legitimately undecided on whether the benefits outweigh the costs or vice versa on a CBDC. Yesterday I was answering a direct question about a particular argument.
	I said, in favor, that would be one of the stronger arguments.
	I would agree that the more direct route would be to appropriately regulate stablecoins, which we don't do right now.
	And that's going to be a very important thing that we do do.
	We do do.
	So, in terms of congressional authorization, you know, there are different views on that.
	I've said publicly, and I think this is right, that we would want very broad support in society and in Congress, and ideally, that would take the form of authorizing legislation as opposed to a very careful reading of ambiguous law to support this.
	It's a very, very important initiative, and I do think we should ideally get authorization.
	I love the threat.
	Oh, it would be shitty if we had to do it through a very careful read of some old-ass legislation.
	I mean, that would be kind of horrible, wouldn't it?
	They're doing it.
	They love it.
	They want it.
	They want your social credit score to be connected to them giving you money.
	And I know, John, you're probably going to say it's bullcrap, not true, but I just want to go on record.
	They've connected the two pieces now.
	It's bullcrap, not true.
	I'm glad you're following it, though.
	A couple of things that should be noted, which is the government does not like the cash system because it results in transactions which aren't taxed.
	And people don't realize what the small cash transaction business is.
	It's $3 trillion.
	Annually?
	Yes.
	It's all drugs, right?
	Don't think it's all drugs at all.
	I use small cash.
	I use cash all the time.
	I don't buy drugs.
	You're only a small part of the $3 trillion.
	Well, I know, but everyone contributes.
	But the cash business is a big deal, and it's one of the last things where the government doesn't have their hooks in it, and they're going to have some trouble getting there.
	I think in some other countries where people are too stupid to realize that they're being used by the government as pawns, they'll go for this, but it's going to take a while.
	Alright, but the credit score being run by the government...
	I don't like that.
	They'll put a stop to that.
	There's no way.
	Who's they anymore?
	Who's they to stop anything?
	Where are the they's?
	The No Agenda folk.
	Oh, is that who's going to do it?
	I'm going to show myself by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda in the morning.
	Yeah, there are no agenda folk.
	We do have a few people to thank for show.
	1364.
	Yeah.
	If I'm not mistaken.
	No, that's the one, man.
	We're moving along in life here.
	Yeah, and so we start off with, we didn't do, you know, this show was, it's okay.
	We did okay, but we didn't do as well as we do during the COVID, peak COVID. Nicholas Saller comes in from Palmyra, Pennsylvania with $100.
	He has a...
	What has he got to say here?
	He's got something to say.
	Let's see what he says.

	All right.
	Let's see how it rolls, how it flows together.
	Okay.
	This is the most boring podcast ever.
	Oh!
	It's unnecessary, but I'll do it for you, sure.
	It stands by itself, but okay.
	Throw me a bone.
	A little bone for you.
	And then I have, I really only think I have, there's a lot of stuff we didn't get to, actually.
	Oh, crap.
	Well, I got the Iran kidnapping plot is kind of interesting.
	Okay.
	I just want to let you know we're at three and a half hours.
	Yeah, okay.
	Well, I'll play this.
	I'm not going to play anything after this.
	Okay.
	It's the Iran kidnapping plot.
	U.S. authorities say they've uncovered a plot by Iran to kidnap an Iranian-American journalist in New York.
	For more than a year, Iranian agents allegedly pursued a kidnapping plan involving speedboats and a trip to South America.
	Might seem like the plot of a Hollywood thriller, but the FBI, in a statement, insisted it is not, quote, some far-fetched tale.
	NPR justice correspondent Ryan Lucas has more on this story.
	He joins me now.
	Ryan, first, give us a little more detail on this plot and specifically who was targeted.
	Well, according to the indictment, four Iranians with links to the country's intelligence services were planning to kidnap, as you said, an Iranian-American journalist living in Brooklyn and rendition her back to Iran.
	The journalist isn't named in the indictment, but we know that it is Masi Alinejad.
	She has a huge following on social media, and she has used that to publicize the Iranian government's human rights abuses, its treatment of women, including notably the fact that the government in Iran mandates that women wear a headscarf in public.
	How were they planning to kidnap her?
	Well, this alleged plot dates back to at least June of 2020, when the Iranians working from Iran hired a private investigator in Manhattan to conduct surveillance on Alinajad.
	The investigator took photographs and videos of Alinajad and her family at their Brooklyn home.
	The investigator took photos of people who visited the home.
	The indictment says the Iranian intelligence agents at their computers in Iran researched travel routes from Alina Jad's home to the Brooklyn waterfront.
	They researched speedboats and how to travel by ship from New York to Venezuela, which is a country led by an Iran-friendly government.
	Well, that was cool.
	No.
	What was cool about it?
	I think it's cool that the FBI finally did something.
	They stopped the plot.
	I don't think this was rigged.
	If this was rigged...
	No, I don't know if it was rigged.
	Six week...
	I think I got something better.
	I think I can top that.
	Okay, but I just want to mention that apparently the Iranians, and I use the word, the Iranians have been killing people left or journalists left and right.
	But they kidnap them.
	They don't kill them like we would do.
	They don't shoot them at their home.
	Drone them.
	Drone them.
	Or drone them.
	They kidnap them, take them to Iran, put on a fake trial, and then kill them.
	Excellent.
	Can we get broadcast rights?
	No.
	Probably not.
	Neil Jones, clip custodian, caught two clips that are completely correlated.
	Authorities in Denver are thanking a hotel housekeeper for alerting them to a large stash of weapons inside a room near Coors Field.
	That's the site of Major League Baseball's All-Star Game tomorrow.
	Police found 16 long guns, body armor, and more than 1,000 rounds of ammo.
	Three men and one woman were arrested.
	Now, initially, police feared a Las Vegas-style shooting plot, but investigators And then there's this one.
	Investigators have arrested 32-year-old Keegan Castile.
	They say a member of the housekeeping staff discovered a rifle, five rifle magazines, and another firearm near the windowsill of the room Castile was staying at on the 12th floor of the W Hotel in downtown Chicago.
	Now that room overlooking busy Lakeshore Drive, Navy Pier and several beaches, all of which were crowded with people celebrating the Fourth of July.
	Authorities believe that quick-thinking housekeeper may have helped them avoid and avert a massacre.
	Now, Castile has been charged with two counts of aggravated, unlawful use of a weapon.
	Authorities say Castile is from Iowa and they're still trying to figure out what exactly he was doing here in Chicago.
	But, of course, George, authorities on high alert for incidents like this ever since that terrible shooting in Las Vegas back in 2017.
	OK, I just one thing has got to be mentioned.
	Since we're talking about the reset, we have our own reset.
	We haven't heard the term long guns before.
	Since the Obama administration, five years ago.
	Long guns.
	That's what the woman said.
	The story could be total crap.
	It's a rifle, for God's sake.
	The story could be total crap, and they just brought it in just to get long rifle back.
	You don't know.
	No, long guns.
	They're not long rifles.
	Yeah, long guns.
	But you know what I mean.
	It's like, just to relaunch that.
	Who knows?
	You can't trust anything.
	Why would you trust a single thing?
	This is all resetting us to the...
	Yep.
	Yep, yep, yep.
	And I'm just going to blast it all the way through, man.
	Take you all the way out.
	You're going to love me.
	This is what's going on at the Olympics.
	We're all excited.
	NBC's got the exclusives kicking off July 23rd, 25th, whenever.
	It's going to be great.
	It's going to be great.
	Any concern about the Olympics in Tokyo just days before the games get underway?
	The city is reporting its highest daily number of COVID cases in six months.
	As one precaution, athletes will have to put their medals around their own necks to follow social distancing rules.
	Oh, brother.
	And what is this highest number, by the way?
	You know, in our town, they've had the highest number in history.
	Is that two people?
	Oh, my God, John.
	Come on.
	That's brilliant.
	You've got to put the medal on yourself.
	Holy crap.
	Yeah, that's pretty...
	Somebody touched the medal before that, didn't they?
	It is...

	Random thoughts.
	Sir Darren O'Neill.
	Discussed often here today.
	Only two end-of-show mixes.
	One was sadly vetoed.
	But we will be bringing you...
	Let's see, what do we have?
	Oh, the Clip Custodian and Danny Luce back with a vengeance.
	Very good.
	And we'll be back on Sunday to deconstruct it all again for you.
	Hope you enjoyed it.
	Hope your amygdala feels just right.
	Coming to you from the heart of Texas Hill Country, FEMA Region No.
	6.
	Good morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We return on Sunday with another edition of the Best Podcast in the Universe, produced by you.
	Remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA. Until then, aha!
	Aha!
	Adios, mofos!
	and such.
	How would you express a televised?
	Speaking of golf, this week would kill you.
	It's quite shocking.
	It's sort of thin.
	We didn't go to the crossroads.
	We got it from Planet Fitness.
	And, of course, there's only one thing we're all interested in.
	What do we name the new variant?
	We talk about Delta, but now he's talking about Lambda.
	We learned a lot about that.
	We knew quite a bit about Lyon disease.
	I don't think we've seen it yet.
	You know, you hear quite a bit about it.
	It would be one that, see how bad could it be, huh?
	On the, there were, a bunch of people were shot on the, on the, on the, on the, on the call.
	I'm interested in it.
	Tells in your brain.
	I don't know, I can't.
	I'm just looking up.
	I'm kind of, what did you say?
	It's nothing.
	The, uh, the show.
	Well, could it be true or not?
	And then, how could it be true?
	You know, there's a lot of teams.
	There's several.
	Wait, where did this air?
	I don't know if that's true at all.
	There's three times.
	And we talk about Delta.
	I don't know.
	We're going to keep in on Lambda.
	This virus attaches to our system.
	Just Delta.
	We're going to keep in on Delta.
	Because of this.
	A major Japanese newspaper is the first Olympic sponsor demanding that Tokyo games be called off due to the pandemic.
	Here's this.
	Wow.
	No cheering is allowed because of continuing coronavirus.
	At one precaution, athletes will have to put their medals around their own neck.
	I could not believe when I heard that.
	Thank you.
	The ban on fans come in just hours after Japan's prime minister announced a new state of emergency in Tokyo, which begins Monday and will run the entire Olympics.
	No claps, no cheers, no fans at all.
	What is Japan so afraid of?
	The vast majority of the Japanese remain unvaccinated and they're afraid of the Olympics, of, you know, kickstarting another surge.
	I could not believe when I heard that.
	No claps, no cheers, no fans at all.
	Even the illuminated Olympic rings are being shut off early.
	No claps, no fans at all.
	The best podcast in the universe!
	Mopo.
