1365: Vaccine Poverty
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
They got low IQ, and that's why they're not taking the vaccine.
Adam Couric, John C. Dvorak.
And Sunday, July 18th, 2021, this is your award-winning Give One Nation Media Assassination, episode 1365.
This is No Agenda.
45 cycles and counting in.
Broadcasting live from the heart of Texas Hill Country, Fever Region No. 6 in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where I seem to be all the time, I'm John C. Dvorak.
I think I've moved, since you've been in northern Silicon Valley, I think I've moved about 14 times.
Yeah, you got ants in your pants.
Yeah, but this is it, man.
This is it.
I'm done.
Last house.
Feet first out.
That's what this is.
Loving it.
Loving it here in Texas Hill Country.
Although everybody I talk to says the same thing.
Hey man, I'm really worried about a country.
I'm not kidding.
Every single person.
That doesn't surprise me.
Every single person.
I say, hey man, I got faith in the American public.
They say the same thing in Berkeley, by the way.
I should mention that.
Yeah.
Well, this is, of course, the tale of two countries.
In fact, we are right now in the middle of...
The pandemic of the UN. Holy crap, we saw that coming.
I didn't hear a word you said.
That one was not as explicit as it's usually when you do the bullhorn.
Pandemic of the unvaccinated.
Oh, yes.
Yes, this is the pandemic of the unvaccinated.
That's what everyone said.
Biden says it, that Wallingford woman said it.
Yeah, the CDC lady.
Walensky, whatever her name is.
She started it.
She started it.
Yeah, she said it.
She started it.
Now it's everywhere.
We now have, and this map is stunning and sad, a pandemic of the unvaccinated.
Everywhere.
Pandemic of the unvaccinated.
Why not just repeat it?
I can't believe we don't have a supercut yet.
I'm very disappointed.
There'll be one.
But, you know, the funny thing is, if you deconstruct that phrase properly, that means it's like a panic.
It means there's lots of unvaccinated people and it's like a pandemic.
Here comes another one!
Oh, no!
That's kind of like zombies, I guess, in that regard.
Yeah.
Yeah, good point.
Good point.
Yeah, it's a poorly constructed, it's not a good phrase.
No, it's fantastic.
I mean, it is so close to the zombie apocalypse.
To me, I love it.
So talking about apocalypses, just as you began this little bit, I hate to tell you this, but one of those boxcar trains goes by with all the containers.
Hundreds and hundreds, if not a thousand.
And this time it had the three trains in the front to pull it.
Two trains in the middle will be coming up pretty soon to keep it going.
Wow.
It's just like China is just, this is an invasion.
Yeah, well I got some supply chain information for later, but I'm afraid, and I think I said it on the last show or the show before, they're not done with us.
They're not done with us.
They need to put the boot on our face and grind it in the dirt.
They're doing it in every other country.
The UK, this was hilarious, the UK. So we had Freedom Day.
Freedom Day.
Freedom.
Freedom would be tomorrow, July 19th.
Everybody out.
It's going to be great.
It's going to be fantastic.
And as you and I discussed, this is against all the rules.
This is not how it's supposed to go.
You need to keep your people locked down.
And then this happened.
Good morning, Andrew.
As you say, the Chancellor and the Prime Minister have been contacted overnight by NHS Track and Trace, which shows that the system is doing its job.
They will be isolating, but using the pilot scheme for daily testing, which...
Which is available to a range of public sector organisations, which enables you to do your essential business and get tested on a daily basis in specialist asymptomatic testing centres like the one that there now is in Downing Street, but then outside of that work environment to not socialise, not mix with other people.
So it clearly is a less restrictive form of isolation than many other members of the public are enjoying.
Yeah, so that less restrictive than many others of the public, that was used to set Johnson straight.
He had a talking to two and a half hours later.
I don't have a clip.
Two and a half hours later, in U-turn, UK's Johnson to quarantine after COVID-19 contact.
Wait, what?
What do you mean Johnson had the quarantine?
Johnson's had the disease.
He has to quarantine.
Why does he have the quarantine?
He's had the disease.
He's not sick.
What part of putting the boot on your face and grinding it into the dirt did you miss?
Of course it's bullshit.
Now he's going to spend 10 days self-isolating after contact with a confirmed coronavirus case.
Paul Lees, who was, funny enough, the health secretary who tested positive for COVID despite being fully vaccinated.
So here's a positive case from a fully vaccinated health minister who had a meeting with the prime minister who had COVID, says he's had the job.
And now he's going to stay isolated for 10 days.
Is this the 10 days of darkness that QAnon promised us?
Is this coming now?
This is theater.
This is bull crap.
Well, I guess they didn't want to do Freedom Day.
No, they couldn't.
The UK was not on board.
And then he had a talking to.
No, you're going to show everybody how it's done.
So I think this is what's...
Obviously, they're trying to carry this over to the United States.
They've already got the masks back in Los Angeles indoors, especially if you're vaccinated.
But let's...
By the way, the latest pitch, which I think is great, is that the vaccinated...
We'll be carrying around COVID more than anyone.
Do you have a clip of that?
I'd love that.
Have you heard this one?
No.
That's a good one.
So they're going to have it and carry it around, and so the unvaccinated, if they run into anti-vaccinated people, are going to get it.
Nice.
So...
Is that what's called a...
You get the exosomes, but that's about it.
Oh, yeah.
No one even wants to talk about that.
Well, here's LA County.
Tonight, Los Angeles, the nation's largest county, taking a step back, requiring masks indoors, even for the vaccinated effective Sunday.
Impacting 10 million people here and breaking with CDC guidance, it's a clear signal concern is growing over the highly contagious Delta variant.
Oh, my goodness.
Do you think that maybe they'll catch on now?
Like, wait a minute.
There's something strange about this.
No, they're doing it...
No, there's not...
No.
And I'll tell you why.
All right.
I think their promotion of the Delta virus is phenomenal.
Delta variant.
Whatever.
Well, CNN really did a good job.
Jose Gupta, our buddy Jose, he wrote a...
What did he call it?
I think an op-ed or an opinion piece about the two Americas.
And so he's all over CNN, of course, talking about this and about the pandemic of the unvaccinated.
I pulled a couple clips.
We know that rural residents actually...
A higher percentage, 39%, say that they've received at least one dose compared to urban and suburban, both at 31%.
But the next graphic sort of tells the story of what likely is to come, and that is this issue of vaccine hesitancy, where you're actually seeing more hesitancy.
People saying they definitely will not get a COVID-19 vaccine.
If those numbers don't budge, it's going to be very hard to get to herd immunity.
Okay, let's just stop it right there.
There's some illogic there I like.
This is a medical doctor who's saying that if those people don't get vaccinated, it will be harder to achieve herd immunity, which, as far as I understand, is scientifically false.
If you have had COVID, that's part of the herd immunity.
So if you're going to get COVID, you're going to contribute towards herd immunity or the morgue.
I mean, either way, it could be anything.
But now he's saying, no, no, no, no.
A medical doctor is saying, no, we can't get it.
We definitely will not get a COVID-19 vaccine.
If those numbers don't budge, it's going to be very hard to get to herd immunity within just the adult population.
That's why everyone's talking about pediatric trials.
Finally, who are these people?
Who are these people?
Can you guess?
Republicans.
Oh, it's better than that.
Not just Republicans.
No, we've got to purge everybody.
Finally, who are these people who are more likely to be hesitant or refuse the vaccine altogether?
At least among the rural population, 73% identify as Republicans.
41% identify as white evangelical Christians.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Burn the Christians.
Gotta throw in the Christian hate.
Burn the Christians.
Send them to the lions.
Christian hate.
Not just Republicans.
No.
Christian Republicans.
Evangelical.
Christian hate.
Let's hate them.
Hate them.
Burn them at the stake.
They're gonna kill us all.
Who are these people?
Here we go.
More Sanjay.
I'm sorry.
Jose.
Hello, Jose.
The Delta variant, everyone knows this term now, but it is a remarkably transmissible, contagious variant that you are very well protected by if you get the vaccine.
But if you don't get the vaccine, you are increasingly, almost assuredly likely to get infected.
One of the things that really prompted me to write this again was something that Barney Graham told me.
He's deputy director at the NIH. And what he said is people keep thinking that the country is going to be split into vaccinated and unvaccinated.
The road we're on now is that the country gets split into vaccinated and infected.
I love this one!
Yeah, that was a headline in one of the newspapers.
Vaccinated or infected, you seething infected human resource.
I love it.
Fauci somehow back in good graces, or they're just throwing everything they can against this problem that they have.
Dr.
Fauci, are we looking at a split-screen America right now?
Oh, split-screen America.
That's even better.
That's Scott Adams' talk right there.
One screen, two movies.
Dr.
Fauci, are we looking at a split-screen America right now?
A vaccinated part of the country doing quite well, and an unvaccinated part of the country in crisis.
Doing quite well?
You know, on...
Say again.
Are they doing quite well?
They have to wear masks still in Los Angeles to get sick left and right.
They're getting breakthrough cases, getting ready for the booster.
An unvaccinated part of the country in crisis.
You know, unfortunately, I think we are looking to some sort of version of that.
Essentially, two Americas, an unvaccinated, at-risk America and a vaccinated America that, relatively speaking, is quite protected against infection, including By the Delta variant, which has a great capability of spreading from person to person.
Yes.
Okay.
Well, there you go.
So we're divided, we're separated, and we clearly have to do something about this.
By the way, I was just going to read a little list.
Go ahead.
I want to throw this in before you go to the list, which is a little bit on the Delta variant.
This is...
I've got a lot of clips from...
You are over-clipped today.
I'm over-clipped.
I admit it.
I can take a penalty if you go into the booth.
But I want to play...
This is part of their ongoing COVID promotion of the Delta variant, which, if we listen to the real experts, you know, there's nothing going on.
It's a...
Maybe exaggerated to say the least, but I want to play first.
I got these two clips of the same clip, but one of them is the original clip and then the clip the way I heard it.
So this is COVID, I think, OG. You mentioned the Delta variant here.
How dangerous do you believe that is?
I think that the Delta variant is very dangerous.
It is highly contagious.
It's very quick to put people in the hospital and at younger ages.
Okay, you played the punchline clip.
No, that was the OG clip.
You must have mislabeled it.
What was the time on it?
The OG clip is 21 seconds.
The COVID, I think, is 12.
I believe you turned them around.
We'll play the I think clip.
You mentioned the Delta variant here.
How dangerous do you believe that is?
I think that the Delta variant is very dangerous.
I think something went wrong in the edit.
I think something went wrong.
I did the I think clip first, and when I did the OG, I forgot to take those extras out.
The point, okay, let's get back to the point.
The point of it was, what do you believe is the question asked by the host?
Yeah, and she says, I think.
And the other woman says, I think.
What kind of, and she's an expert, supposedly.
Who was this?
Do you remember?
Yeah.
Oh, it was just a couple of dipshits.
It's usual.
I mean, the usual suspects, I could give you their names, but it's beside the point.
It's just, what do you believe and what do you, and I think, I think, I think, this is not information that's of any value.
I think it's terrible.
It's deadly.
But you just think it.
I mean, is this like an expert that just thinks this and thinks that and doesn't go to the research or doesn't have anything to back this up?
She just thinks it's deadly?
Yes, I believe you are right.
I think you're right.
Yeah, no, I believe it.
I don't think that.
It's just like, it's so annoying to listen to these reports and it's filled with this sort of, I think, I think we're all going to die.
Oh, for sure.
Headline CNBC. I'm sorry.
Yes, CNBC. These 10 states are America's worst places to live in 2021.
Can you guess?
They're all red states that are not fully vaccinated.
Let's give it a shot.
10, Indiana.
9, Louisiana.
8, Arkansas.
7, Alabama.
6, Georgia.
5, Tennessee.
Where's 4?
What is this?
They went from 5 to 3?
That's interesting.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Missouri is in a tie with Nevada.
Nevada.
And number two, Texas.
Woo!
We're number two and number one is Arizona.
What about Florida?
No, Florida doesn't.
No, they can't.
What about South Dakota?
No, no, no, no.
You know what they've done, by the way?
They have done everything they can to not talk about South Dakota.
Yeah, because they had zero measures, right?
Right.
They didn't do anything.
And it fares well against all the really more rigid states if you put a side-by-side comparison.
So they decided to take South Dakota out of the comparisons.
No.
And South Dakota is the best example of doing nothing.
they do accentuate here key points from the article.
Even as the pandemic subsides, many companies are allowing their employees to continue working from home.
States are increasingly emphasizing their quality of life as they seek to attract businesses and jobs.
But not every state delivers on its promises.
So in other words, lots of cool states like California let you stay home, and red states, this list, force you to come to work.
And finally, the pandemic and the push for social justice are changing the definition of quality of life.
Oh, really?
So wait a minute.
Let's back up two steps.
Everybody is leaving California to move to Texas.
Why?
Because it's shit here.
It's number two, so you could do worse.
You could do Arizona.
Arizona?
Everyone's moving there too, if you haven't noticed.
Arizona is home.
Yes.
Well, there you go.
Perhaps they are saying don't move to those states.
I don't know.
CNBC takes these changes into account in the latest America's top states.
So, Thursday, right after the show, something beautiful happened.
And this is a fantastic example in...
Communication problems.
Poor communication.
There's some crisis communication that has now had to be deployed.
And it really started with Jen Psaki, who, by the way, will be leaving her post next year.
Who wins the bet?
Oh no, the bet was four months.
And this will be one year from now.
Oh, she's leaving it.
Because she doesn't want to miss some of those great family life moments.
In other words, fucking burnout.
And what we're going to get is we're going to get that Jean-Pierre lady.
I despise that one.
I don't think so.
I think we're going to get Kirby.
No, he's working at Amazon.
He's got a great job.
No, not Amazon.
Kirby's...
Wait, no, Kirby's back at Defense, isn't he?
Yeah.
You think we're going to get Kirby?
That's where Saki came from.
Right.
But...
Wait, did she come from Defense?
I thought she came from State.
I think she came from State.
Oh, you're right.
She came from State.
She was Newland's protege.
Anyway, so she came from State.
Well, Kirby's the guy.
So Jen Psaki communicated very poorly what is going on between the administration and Silicon Valley.
And it created a crap storm for them.
And the president actually made it worse.
In terms of actions, Alex, that we have taken, or we're working to take, I should say, from the federal government, we've increased disinformation research and tracking within the Surgeon General's office.
We're flagging problematic posts for Facebook that spread disinformation.
We're working with doctors and medical professionals to connect two connected medical experts who are popular with their audiences with With accurate information and boost trusted content.
So we're helping get trusted content out there.
We also created the COVID community core to get factual information into the hands of local messengers.
And we're also investing, as you all have seen, in the presidents, the vice presidents, and Dr.
Fauci's time.
So she says there that, hey, you know, we're flagging stuff for Facebook.
We're letting them know what's going on.
I mean, to be honest about it, any company, if you get a call from the White House that says, hey, you know, you really got to do something about this, I think you'd do it, wouldn't you?
Isn't that kind of...
Yeah, it seems like that's what you need to do.
Now, the question is, which I think you have the other clip coming.
I do.
Which is the Biden clip.
Yep.
The question is that Facebook pushed back a little bit, and this is the...
I think people should listen to this differently.
Yes, hold on.
You are absolutely right.
What you're about to say is spot on.
I heard it the way you're about to explain it, but someone picked it up and turned it in their face.
Well, I'm just going to say what I don't know.
You might have another clip in there, but...
I believe that Facebook said, hey, we can't, you know, okay, great, thanks, but maybe we can do this ourselves.
We're very good.
And they did have a statement, which I may have a clip of.
I will never find it.
Hold on, let me find it for you.
It's a statement that Facebook made, which is, no, no, we're giving more good information than anybody.
And they've already cracked down.
I'm looking for it.
You have it in today's clips?
I think it might be.
But I think it may be part of a bigger report.
I have a lot of bigger reports.
Well, we are referring to something a little different because there were two steps that happened.
The steps that happened...
Well, let me finish my theory.
Oh, sorry.
Okay.
So Facebook says, no, we're good.
We're good.
And so then Biden comes up out there, you know, going to his chopper and he goes up and he says that Facebook's killing people.
And that's the clip that you got.
Right.
And this was the mistake because he didn't say Facebook's killing people.
That's not what happened.
What happened is this disinformation is killing people.
That or misinformation.
That is the line.
Pandemic of the unvaccinated.
It's the misinformation that is killing people.
And that is what Jim saw.
And I have the much longer clip from the follow-up.
You can play a little bit of it.
So Biden's out there getting ready to go to the chopper.
Someone, the reporter calls him over and says, what do you think of Facebook and all this?
And you can see his brain freeze.
You have to see the video to fully appreciate what happened here.
His brain froze and instead of saying misinformation, they're killing people, referring to the disinformation dozen.
Instead of saying that, he says, they're killing people!
And that immediately, because the question was about Facebook, it was taken in the context of Facebook is killing people, which caught fire immediately, and then they had to come out, and then Facebook had to retaliate, and it's going back and forth now.
But listen to the question and the president.
What's your message to platforms like Facebook?
Freeze.
They're killing people.
I mean, it really...
Look, the only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated.
And they're killing people.
The unvaccinated are killing people.
Not Facebook.
But this caught fire.
And this was fantastic.
I heard it.
I heard it.
I saw it.
I would say the same thing you did.
And he said...
The guys asked about Facebook.
Biden said they're killing people.
I know.
I know.
That's what he said.
Why are you dreaming up this different scenario?
Because the talking point is, he says the talking point at the end.
The unvaccinated are killing people, not Facebook.
He never said the unvaccinated people.
He just said it at the end.
He said it's a pandemic of the unvaccinated people, and then he said they're killing people.
But the reference was vague.
Are you willing to concur with me that this president has cognitive issues?
I want to go back to the way this is structured.
The structure is simple.
The premise is Facebook, Facebook, Facebook.
Answer, they're killing people.
And then as an aside, the way I would structure it, if you're going to break this down, if you're going to parse it, the aside was it's a pandemic of the unvaccinated.
And then back to the main topic, they're killing people, a reference back to Facebook.
I understand what you're saying, but I saw the press conference before this took place.
The messaging is...
The misinformation is killing people.
He wasn't at the press conference.
I know, but the messaging is launched at the press conference and he wasn't at the press conference.
Thank you for making my point.
So he walks out and goes, they're killing people.
So he did not mean Facebook.
I'm telling you that makes zero sense.
Why would they do that?
All I'm saying is what he said.
That's what he said, yes.
In context, you're doing like they used to do with Trump, trying to dream up something else he was trying to say.
No, I saw the video.
The man's brain froze.
Okay.
Well, you're interpreting.
I'm not.
I'm just quoting.
Yeah, okay.
Well, if we're just quoting, then listen carefully.
What's your message to platforms like Facebook?
What's your message to platforms like Facebook?
You could say...
That you are killing people, Facebook?
Or you can say they're killing people, somebody else?
Was that his message?
I mean, if you really want to pull it apart, you can do it any way you want.
They're killing people.
Boom, stop it.
No, no, no, no, no, don't.
Just listen.
Jesus.
I mean, it really...
Look, the only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated.
Yeah.
And they're killing people.
The only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated and they're killing people.
He's talking about the unvaccinated, not Facebook.
Okay, you can...
Okay, Jen, you can continue.
Wow.
You know what?
I'm sorry I heard what I heard.
Yes, I know, but that's not the point.
Since when do you believe Biden has his faculties about him?
I'm just hearing what I heard.
Is it possible?
It may have been a moment of lucidity for all we know.
You can't tell.
Okay, so the messaging is, it's the misinformation, it's the disinformation dozen, and there is an actual list of the disinformation dozen, and it's quite interesting.
We've talked about this list before.
Yes, by the way, this list is not new.
This list goes back.
No, and let me read to you who's on the list because I have to click on read the report, you shits.
All right, this is the actual report.
The disinformation doesn't.
Here we go.
Number one, Joseph Mercola.
And you'll recall that Joseph Mercola took all his blog posts down.
So they got him.
Yeah, he got pretty much shut down.
Number two, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Pretty much been deplatformed from many different places.
Shameful that he's on that list.
And now you tell me if you've heard of any of these names that round out the disinformation dozen.
Ty and Charlene Bollinger, Sherry Tenpenny, Yes.
One.
Riza Islam?
Yes.
You've heard of Riza Islam?
Yep, yep, yep.
Rashid Buttar?
No.
Erin Elizabeth?
Of course.
She's married to Mercola.
Wow, she's one of the...
They get a twofer on the Dirty Dozen list.
They get a twofer, yeah.
She brags about it on her Twitter feed constantly that she's on this list.
They got two entries in the top 12 this week.
Sayer G? No.
Kelly Brogan?
No.
Christiana Northrup?
Yes.
I think I've heard of her.
Yes, Northrup.
She's been on a number of things.
Ben Tapper?
Is it Jake's brother?
I don't know.
Ben Tapper rings a bell, but only because of Jake.
And Kevin Jenkins?
No, sorry.
I'm a little disappointed they could have at least put the No Agenda show in there.
No, we don't qualify.
We're not delivering misinformation.
We're deconstructing their misinformation.
Yes.
In fact, there's so much misinformation, they make so many gaffes themselves.
When Psaki makes a gaffe about vaccines killing people under 27, which he played on the last show, isn't that the definition of misinformation?
Shouldn't that be flagged and taken down immediately?
Yeah.
Why is it not?
Because she's a Democrat.
She can do what she wants.
But even so, if you're Jen Psaki, would you rather have the misinformation and the stupidity out there than saying, ah, it's misinformation, take it down so you can cover up how dumb you are?
You'd think so.
You'd think so.
So the next day, Peter Doocy...
Yes, he goes after her.
Yeah, he goes after her.
And this was a fun exchange that I think was just listened to.
For how long has the administration been spying on people's Facebook profiles looking for vaccine misinformation?
Well, that was quite a loaded and inaccurate question, which I would refute.
Well, Peter, first of all, as you know, we're in a regular touch with a range of media outlets.
Let me finish.
Notice they are now a media outlet.
Under Section 230, they are an agnostic platform that cannot be held liable for what people post on their system.
So now it's a media outlet?
That would mean that they edit and produce things?
...are in regular touch with social media platforms.
I'm giving you extra credit for pointing that out.
Thank you.
...forms.
This is publicly open information, people sharing information online, just as you are all reporting information on your news stations.
Woo!
Okay, so these 12 people who you have on a list, 12 individuals...
I can't believe that the news media doesn't know about the disinformation, doesn't?
Do you think he really doesn't know?
Because it sounds like it.
After this, we've been doing this show over this last year.
Mm-hmm.
Yes.
I believe they don't know anything.
It's crazy.
Do they know that somebody at the Surgeon General's office is going through their profile?
I'm happy to get you the citation of where that comes from.
There's no secret list.
I will tell you that these are people who are sharing information on public platforms on Facebook.
Information that is traveling is inaccurate.
Our biggest concern here, and I frankly think it should be Your biggest concern is the number of people who are dying around the country because they're getting misinformation that is leading them to not take a vaccine.
Young people, old people, kids, children, a lot of them are being impacted by misinformation.
The big concern, though, I think, for a lot of people on Facebook is that now this is Big Brother watching you.
They're more concerned about that than people dying across the country because of a pandemic where misinformation is traveling on social media platforms.
That feels unlikely to me.
If you have the data to back that up, I'm happy to discuss it.
So now you have to have data, otherwise you won't discuss it?
Is that how it works?
That question's invalid unless you have data.
Show me some data.
I pulled that clip, too, because I thought it was the snootiest thing she's ever done.
Yeah.
You pulled that clip?
I had the same clip, but I only have the part where, because the rest of it I figured you'd have, but I have the part where she says, oh, you think they're more concerned about Big Brother than the pandemic killing people left and right?
I don't believe that's true.
I think people are more concerned about the death.
And if you have any information to contradict this, show me some data, and then I'll discuss it.
It was so snotty.
It's coming up.
The concern, though, I think, for a lot of people on Facebook is that now this is Big Brother watching you.
They're more concerned about that than people dying across the country because of a pandemic where misinformation is traveling on social media platforms.
That feels unlikely to me.
If you have the data to back that up, I'm happy to discuss it.
About things that are on Facebook.
I looked this morning.
There are videos of Dr.
Fauci from 2020 before anybody had a vaccine.
He's out there saying there's no reason to be walking around with a mask.
So is the administration going to contact Facebook and ask them to take that down?
Well, first, I think what Dr.
Fauci has said himself, who's been quite public out there, is that science evolves, information evolves, and we make that available in a public way to the American people.
His point is valid.
It's exactly what I'm saying.
If you've got something out there that's wrong, why don't you flag that as well?
That makes no sense.
I have never seen any data to suggest that the vaccines cause infertility.
That is information that...
Oh, by the way, stop.
She brought this up, like, numerous times.
Without anyone asking about it.
Yes.
Good, yes.
Protests as much?
She just brought it up.
She is freaked out about something, and I think what it is, she had a shot, and then she had this weird...
The thing we have to realize is that to be flagging stuff, you have to be listening to it.
Mm-hmm.
So she's been listening to all the counter arguments about one thing or another.
And one of the things that crops up in the conversation with all the people moaning and groaning about the mRNA vaccine, including the guy who invented it, who likes vaccines and he likes this vaccine, but he's sketchy.
He can understand why people don't want to take it.
Yeah.
Is all the reports about, oh, it goes right to the reproduction system.
It goes right to the women's ovaries.
The stuff goes right there.
Then you have these periods, which a lot of women get from all the vaccines, where you have a big heavy period.
It's like a black goo that comes out.
This is what happened to her.
And she's now in denial about the possibility.
Yes.
You know, it's interesting you say that because her leaving, let me just see.
She has kids, right?
I don't know.
Hold on a second.
Where is Psaki?
Here we go.
Leaving post next year.
That's a good catch.
White House Secretary Jim Psaki revealed she intends to leave the post, quote, in a year from now or about a year from now.
In a podcast interview, blah, blah, blah.
She says, I don't want to miss the moments with her young children.
Indicated she had agreed with Joe Biden's transition team.
She would serve in the role.
Okay.
For about one year.
She might, you know, she might be wanting to get pregnant.
Just because you're the spokesperson.
Well, she might be pregnant, which is an issue.
She's also, or she might want to get pregnant, which is an issue.
And she might, you don't know this because nobody knows what these people are thinking.
They're paid.
She's paid spokeshole.
She may be actually someone who's skeptical.
And maybe only took the vaccine because she had to, because she's part of the White House staff.
And she might have had these experiences with the bad periods and all these other nonsense, which has got us frightening crap out of a lot of people, especially if you're dubious about the whole thing.
Especially if you're a birthing person.
Yes, she's a birthing person.
And so she's got this at the top of her head.
That's why she threw this out.
She's done it more than once.
Interesting catch.
I have never seen any data to suggest that the vaccines cause infertility.
That is information that is irresponsibly traveling.
About the science evolving, Facebook used to block people from posting that COVID may have originated for a last year.
Oh, that's interesting.
So she followed up the Fauci mask thing with a complete distraction about not relevant to the conversation about fertility.
And then Ducey comes back and continues his questioning.
I used to block people from posting that COVID may have originated for a lab.
that is something this president now admits is a possibility.
So is there any concern that things you are trying to block or have taken down might someday turn out to be...
We don't take anything down.
We don't block anything.
Facebook and any private sector company makes decisions about what information should be on their platform.
Our point is that there is information that is leading to people not taking the vaccine and people are dying as a result.
And we have a responsibility as a public health matter to raise that issue.
The responsibility we all have.
The government, media, platforms, public messengers to give accurate information.
Not to beat a dead horse, but the president's statement came after this.
I think their message was very clear.
Now, Facebook took it the way you took it and the way everyone else took it except me.
It's obvious now.
And they pushed back.
Facebook on Saturday pushed back at President Joe Biden for the second time in as many days, suggesting the company has been more effective than the government in promoting COVID-19 vaccination after Biden said the social media behemoth is killing people with misinformation.
And they're saying, oh, this is just the administration trying to pin the failure of the July 4th 70% goal on Facebook.
That is their crisis management response.
Oh, that's professional.
Very professional.
Yeah, I like it.
The data shows that 85% of Facebook users in the U.S. have been or want to be vaccinated against COVID-19, said Guy Rosen, the company's vice president of integrity.
What?
laughter laughter Hi, everybody.
I'm the VP of Integrity.
I want...
I love my job.
I want that job.
I'm a VP of Integrity.
He continued.
The VP of Integrity continued.
President Biden's goal was for 70% of Americans to be vaccinated by July 4th.
Facebook is not the reason this goal was missed.
Facebook has encouraged Americans to get inoculated through tools that include its vaccination finder and optional profile frames that show when friends have been vaccinated.
Rosen said vaccine hesitancy on the platform has declined 50% ostensibly since the rollout of vaccines in January.
How do they know that?
Are they asking people?
Or you can just garner that from the data, I guess.
Maybe they're asking people.
I don't know.
I don't use Facebook.
Well, if hesitancy started anywhere, and we've discussed this, it started with the very same people shaming everybody else.
This was before Biden became president, a smallish supercut.
So let's just say there's a vaccine that is approved and even distributed before the election.
Would you get it?
Well, I think that's going to be an issue for all of us.
If and when the vaccine comes, it's not likely to go through all the tests and trials that are needed to be done.
When we finally do, God willing, get a vaccine, who's going to take the shot?
Who's going to take the shot?
You're going to be the first one to say, put me, sign me up.
They now say it's okay.
And the question of whether it's real when it's there, that requires enormous transparency.
You've got to make all of it available to other experts across the nation so they can look and see.
So there's consensus this is a safe vaccine.
If the president announced tomorrow we have a vaccine, would you take it?
Only if it was completely transparent that other experts in the country could look at it.
Only if we knew all of what went into it.
If Donald Trump can't give answers and his administration can't give answers to these three questions, the American people should not have confidence.
But if Donald Trump tells us that we should take it, I'm not taking it.
There you go.
Good job, Pete.
Good job.
Well done.
I have to do a point of information.
Mm-hmm.
Where'd you get that?
I'm not asking you in a negative way.
I tried to find that because I heard it.
The right-wing talk show guys were playing that exact same thing.
Mark Levin was one of them.
And I said, well, I'm going to go get this.
This would be good for the show because it's pretty funny.
I agree.
Because it just shows you that Biden and Harris are full of crap.
I got it from the video was on Twitter.
No.
So I recorded it off of Twitter.
It's in the show notes.
I can go back and see exactly.
No, it's okay.
I just wonder, because as you can tell, I'm over-clipped, although I'm not playing any clips.
No.
I'm doing good.
But I couldn't get any.
I couldn't get that clip, and that clip was a gem.
That's a gem of a clip.
That's a great clip.
Because, you know, why is everyone hesitant?
Well, because we listen to you?
Yeah.
And what the president is saying, well, if they're not transparent, well, clearly there's a transparency issue because people have questions and all.
You don't get, you know, there's no study on, as Jim Psaki said, about infertility.
There is no study, one way or the other.
So the transparency is, of course, an issue.
And they're sneaky, shady people.
And I think Americans know it.
But now we go...
People are very suspicious, and that's the reason I think that people listen to us.
But let's play another piece from that same press conference with Saki.
Because I have a clip that I can play before or after this, and this is Saki...
On ivermectin, and this, and when you, she just, they bring up ivermectin.
Ivermectin has gone into the hydroxychloroquine bin for being not discussable.
Where is, I'm looking for Pesaki.
Oh, I see her.
Yeah, there's a reason for this.
Going up on the health misinformation, do you consider claims by some in the conservative circles that Ivermectin, am I pronouncing that right, as a promising treatment for COVID as misinformation?
I know that the FDA has weighed in on this, I believe, in March, but I just wanted the administration's latest position on the drug.
Information that's inaccurate, we consider misinformation.
So I don't think it's more complicated than that.
Go ahead.
She won't even say it, by the way.
She won't say the word ivermectin.
No, why would you?
Why would you?
Hold on, hold on.
There's a reason why she's saying this.
The Guardian came out with a huge article about a discredited study.
Huge discredited study.
That was in pre-print.
And I got a lot of hate.
The only place I can still get hate is on Twitter.
People tweeting this to me and saying, I mean, with words, but that's what I hear.
And, you know, there's like huge data problems in this study.
Like three people were over 18.
You know, so...
Yeah, so they pulled it apart under the review by the publication, not a peer-to-peer, because apparently it was already peer-to-peer reviewed, but they just unilaterally pulled it, and the conclusion is it's very dangerous to do this.
To do what?
To take ivermectin!
There's tons of reports.
There's lots of studies.
John, why are you arguing with me?
So they find one study?
No, no, no.
A huge study.
A huge study, sure.
You have to understand.
I'm surprised you...
I'm trying to look it up here.
I'm surprised you hadn't seen this.
Well, you know, I was reading something else in The Guardian, and it's almost hard to read that publication now, because it's so...
It's not even close to being borderline biased.
It's just out there.
Let me read it to you.
Let me read it to you.
Huge study supporting ivermectinous COVID treatment withdrawn over ethical concerns.
Okay, well that's, now, just taking, listening to that.
Yes, you're right.
So if you look at the logic, this study was withdrawn over ethical concerns.
What's that got to do with ivermectin?
The preprint endorsing ivermectin as a coronavirus therapy has been widely cited, but independent researchers find glaring discrepancies in the data.
You see, independent researchers.
So, fine.
It's claimed to be a randomized trial, a type of study crucial in medicine because it is considered to provide the most reliable evidence on the effectiveness of interventions.
And this Dr.
Elgazar is listed as the chief editor of the Benna Medical Journal, an editorial board member, but the study found that patients with COVID-19 treating hospitals who received ivermectin early reported substantial recovery.
And then they go into a medical student in London, Jack Lawrence, was the first to identify serious concerns about the paper, leading to the retraction.
So a medical student led to the retraction.
And then, you know, literally, the authors claim...
Okay, so wait, wait.
So the retraction was political, obviously.
Yes, yes, yes.
And the medical student triggered it, and somebody else came along and said, you've got to get this out of here because we've got business here, and we don't need you in the way with this ivermectin crap.
Correct.
And the top reason in this article, the authors claim to have done the study only on 18 to 80-year-olds, but at least three patients in the data set were under 18.
Oh, yeah.
Fuck it.
Oh no!
Pull it!
Pull it, I say!
Yeah, yeah, okay.
So this is exactly what we're dealing with.
Misinformation much?
And then...
Now I want to say, I want to bring, since you just heard the Saki thing, she won't even say the word.
This led me, the reason I wanted to pull that was because it led me to this, which is an NPR report.
They brought this guy from Johns Hopkins.
Oh, of course, yeah.
This is the expert on NPR, and they brought this guy on because NPR was on a tear with the COVID stuff.
With the pandemic of the unvaccinated?
Yeah, the pandemic of the unvaccinated.
So they brought this guy in to talk about treatments, and I want you to see how he manages to skirt never again, neither the host nor this guy.
Don't discuss ivermectin or mention it in passing.
Not even mention it in passing where you can say, well, it's no good.
They won't even do that because they know they can't get away with saying it's no good because it's good.
We've had plenty of backup on that.
So instead of saying it's no good, you just don't mention it.
Now listen to this.
This is expert NPR skirts ivermectin.
Yeah, hold on.
Fail.
Yeah, here we go.
Dr.
Arturo Casadeval is a professor of microbiology and immunology at Johns Hopkins University and joins us from Baltimore now.
Thanks so much for being with us, doctor.
Thank you, Scott, for having me.
What are some of the current options for treatment for COVID patients and how effective have they been?
The past year has seen tremendous advances in the sense that mortality has been greatly reduced for hospitalized patients.
From the situation where we were back in March and April when as many as 25% of the hospitalized patients were dying, the situation is much better today.
The advances include medicines.
Before you get to the hospital, we have monoclonal antibodies.
Once you're in the hospital, we have two antiviral agents.
One of them is remdesivir, and the other one is convalescent plasma that remains under emergency use authorization by the FDA. And then if the patients progress and they get further short of breath as an indication of progressive inflammation, we have anti-inflammatory agents.
I half expected them to say, well, we have a ventilator.
So, anti-inflammatory, which they kind of denied at the beginning, but they'll go along with that because it's expensive.
Steroids aren't cheap.
That's what they're talking about.
And the rendisivir, which everyone knows doesn't work, and the convalescent blood plasma, they stop doing that.
We have letters from people that you got a letter, I got a letter, we all got letters from people that are in that business, and they say they're not even bothering with that anymore.
No.
So this is just bogus.
They're really going out of their way to keep people from healing.
In fact, we could say that this report is in fact killing people.
Yeah.
Because they're not even mentioning ivermectin.
Right.
Fine.
You know what they're not doing?
They're not even keeping track anymore.
This report slipped in here real quick.
NBC, the nightly news, slipped in real quick.
But listen.
A lot of folks have been talking about these breakthrough infections, which are rare but happen.
What do we know?
Well, Lester, the CDC stopped tracking.
Don't talk through it, otherwise you'll miss it.
What happened?
What do we know?
Well, Lester, the CDC stopped tracking breakthrough infections unless they resulted in hospitalization, which is rare.
But NBC News has heard back from 27 states so far, and we've tallied 66,000 breakthrough cases.
That's just a small fraction of the vaccinated.
So the CDC doesn't...
Who cares?
The vaccine didn't work?
We don't need to know.
Only if you wind up in the hospital.
Why?
Why?
How does that make any sense?
You know, the thing is, with this being the giant pandemic that it is, you'd think they'd be documenting every single, you know, things or how your handwriting changed.
Adverse reaction, perhaps?
Everything.
But no?
No.
Let's take a look at the latest numbers from the, oh my goodness, service unavailable, the VAERS database unavailable at the moment.
Oh yeah, gotta get rid of that thing.
Ha ha ha!
Wow, how does that work?
So Pfizer is out there marketing, and they're marketing very, very hard, and I would have to say I'm so proud of Team Pfizer.
The first thing, well, there's a couple things.
Did you see that Shantix, the smoking cessation drug that we have followed for the past 10 years, I believe, has Shantix that made people hallucinate, go crazy, run around naked, wake up in neighborhoods they never knew about, shoot their neighbors.
Yeah.
All of this.
So they announced, oh, we have to pull it off the market temporarily because it exceeds the number of carcinogens that is allowed as per the FDA. Yeah.
Because, of course, you know, why wouldn't a drug to help you stop dying from cancer, why wouldn't it have some cancer in it?
And so the number is like 48 parts per millibriky.
And that's the limit.
And I think they're at 340 or some crazy.
I don't know what that means.
It's just it's too much.
So there's an announcement, which you didn't hear anywhere.
I don't think you saw an announcement of this because, oh, my God, it's Pfizer.
Are you ready?
Half the stories, by the way, oh, it is Pfizer, that's right.
Half the stories I've got today you never heard anyplace else.
Come on.
So then one day later, FDA says it will temporarily allow manufacturers to continue to distribute versions of Pfizer Inc.'s anti-smoking drug shantix with elevated levels of an impurity that may cause cancer in order to maintain supplies.
So the FDA just turned around.
Isn't that sweet?
So I'm sorry, here it is.
The FDA will temporarily allow for some manufacturers to distribute varinaclin, which is the technical name, containing impurities above its acceptable intake limit of 37 nanograms per day, but below an interim acceptable intake limit of 185 nanograms per day.
So what is that?
Six times as much?
I don't know.
Yeah, it's about six times as much.
So that's how good Pfizer really is.
You didn't hear about the pause and you probably won't hear about the reinstatement overnight.
But they're powerful and Pfizer is now going after Australia.
The first thing they do is make sure that the National Health Service and this is from The NSW government.
I have it from their website.
And let's see.
Generally, the number of cycles run by the PCR systems is 45.
45?
45, yeah.
I mean, you have Ebola at a 45 count.
But okay.
Everyone's got Ebola.
You've got Ebola.
So it doesn't matter because that we need to have positive cases.
Very difficult because they're so locked down like dogs in cages getting beaten back.
Shut up.
Go back to your home.
Sydney.
So bad people I know are freaking out.
So we have to make sure we get them all primed for the visor.
Pfizer.
The visor.
The Pfizer.
Let's look at some marketing.
Three quick clips in succession.
New safety protocols are being rushed into effect over a series of allergic reactions to the AstraZeneca COVID vaccine.
Four Queenslanders in 48 hours have suffered anaphylaxis just as the rollout moves into a new public phase and GPs are swamped with bookings.
Okay, so that scared everybody.
It scared them a lot.
OK, well, there are fears this morning the AstraZeneca vaccine's reputation could be tarnished beyond repair.
Doctor's warning of appointment cancellations.
At the same time, our two bigger cities work to contain COVID outbreaks.
Let's bring it home, Team Pfizer!
Go, go, go, go, go!
The countdown is on until the first batch of Pfizer vaccines arrives in Australia.
And while people have been desperate for life to return to normal...
Some are innocent to get the jab because of the possible side effects.
There are concerns that may affect pregnancy, fertility, and cause allergic reactions.
There's no data!
But how much of that is true?
So, AstraZeneca, bad, afraid, cancellation.
The countdown's on to the arrival of Pfizer.
Hello?
Yeah, keep talking.
it.
I'm sorry.
I didn't realize you had stepped away from the program.
I had to go get something.
Get a piece of paper.
Well, hold on.
Now, let's look at this.
You were on a roll.
I thought it was a good time to walk away.
Well, normally you would have said, holy crap, good for them, but I think you missed most of it.
No, I heard the whole thing, believe me.
Okay.
Now let's go back to that very same FDA, or the FDA in the United States.
Let's see what's going on.
Let's get some information, because we still have to do a full FDA approval.
So we're working on that.
I think we still need to do stuff with kids.
We need to experiment on kids.
For some of the 48 million children under 12 and their parents who were hoping to get them vaccinated this fall, a longer wait.
The FDA will now review several additional months of safety data, meaning a vaccine for kids won't likely be available until early next year.
Oh no!
Oh, that's so horrible.
Let's talk to Scott Gottlieb, former, um...
Head of the Food and Drug Administration, the FDA, now board member with Pfizer, and let's talk to him about the approval process.
Listen carefully.
Truth kind of wants to come out.
People are still saying that the hesitancy that some have is because it's not fully approved.
You described that the application isn't complete yet, and it's a rolling application where they're still collecting data from certain subgroups before you get the full approval.
When do you expect full approval?
And I don't I don't really know whether that's why people aren't getting it.
Do you think more people would get it if there was full approval?
There's a conspiracy theories that say, look, they haven't approved this because, you know, they know something, and I don't think that's what it is.
But, you know, that's the stigma.
Yeah, the full application's in now, so at least with Pfizer, I can't speak to Moderna, but it is in right now.
I think Pfizer submitted the application originally May 21st.
I always predict it.
I've said many times, I think it's going to take the FDA three months to approve the applications from the time of first submission.
I think that's a reasonable timeline.
It might slip a couple of weeks.
It might slip into early September.
But I think the timeline of three months from the receipt of the initial application is what FDA is working on, in my view, given my experience at the agency.
So I think this is coming up.
In terms of what it's going to drive...
I think on the margin it probably will drive more confidence about getting vaccinated.
There probably are people for whom they're deterred from getting vaccinated because it's not fully approved.
But I think more likely what's going to happen is it's going to give healthcare institutions and other employers more impetus to mandate vaccination.
Once it's no longer perceived as under an emergency use authorization, I think a lot of businesses...
Oh, did he say experimental?
Did he say experimental?
Let's listen again.
Is this going to give healthcare institutions and other employers more impetus to mandate vaccination once it's no longer perceived as under an emergency?
Mandate that shit.
It's experimental.
Use authorization.
I think a lot of businesses, a lot of healthcare settings are going to mandate vaccination going into the fall.
This guy's evil.
This guy's evil.
What's the gaffe?
You didn't hear him say experimental vaccine?
That's what it is.
Yeah, but he immediately cut that off.
But why?
Because people don't want to feel like they're being experimented on.
Well, it's an experimental vaccine.
We all know that.
No, no.
If you go to anybody on the street, not here, of course, and say, do you think this COVID vaccine is experimental?
They say, no, no, no.
It's emergency use.
The full authorization is coming.
The word experimental has never been used in mainstream that I know of.
I'd challenge you on that, but I don't think it's worth doing.
But I would say this...
We know it's experimental.
It's not a big secret, at least on this show.
Well, of course.
And it's possible that it's a verboten.
And that's why he choked up, because he can't say what it is, which we know what it is.
It's an experimental vaccine.
And he said it, which was a mistake.
He'll get scolded for it.
It's the same way that Jen Psaki will not say ivermectin.
She just won't use the word.
Don't worry, Don Lemon fixed it all for us.
We've been talking a lot about the vaccines, about vaccine misinformation, about FDA approval and on and on.
I've been doing some research on that.
And I think a lot, I think, listen, it's important, obviously, that the FDA approves the vaccines.
But everything that I'm reading is saying that the FDA approval doesn't really matter that much.
What matters is the efficacy.
And that the emergency use authorization actually came through the FDA and that what matters is efficacy and people put too much...
It's actually become a talking point where people are putting too much emphasis on FDA approval when the FDA approval really doesn't matter as much as people think what matters is the efficacy and the vaccines are effective.
They're effective!
Especially for all those breakthroughs.
See, that's the kind of guy that's killing people.
Yes, literally killing people.
Right there on set.
You can't tell.
That's a lie.
Yes.
I love it.
I love it.
It's depressing.
No, it's not depressing.
You want to do some incentives?
I want some of your clips, and then I got incentives, and then we'll be done with it.
Let me see what we got.
Okay.
First of all, we can get the right pair of reading glasses.
Let me play the Australian incentive.
What do you think they're doing to incentivize people to get the Pfizer?
Which, I was reading some report that, at least in this country, it's illegal to incentivize people.
It's also illegal in Australia, as per this report.
There is a bold plan to entice Australians to get a COVID jab.
Nines' Brittany Hoskins is in Perth with the details for us this morning.
Brittany, good morning to you.
Big cash prizes are the incentives.
Carl, we've seen Cubs offer pints, but this takes things a few steps further, to say the least, offering people the opportunity to be protected from a deadly virus and potentially win millions.
According to an article by the Courier-Mail today, Australia's biggest lottery provider has indicated it's willing to host a draw to encourage people to get the jab.
It follows a lottery in the US which offered US$5 million or more than US$6.5 million Australian dollars as an incentive to get vaccinated.
And it worked, with vaccination rates climbing 49%.
Here in Australia, less than 15% of the population is protected against COVID-19.
The idea, while creative, would need a lot of consideration with lotteries highly regulated across the country.
Only 15% vaccinated.
Wow.
That's pretty low, Australia.
It is.
You're not complying.
You're not complying.
What's wrong with you?
What's wrong?
All right, let's do it.
I got a couple of different ways to go here.
First, we got the rap from NPR followed by a rap from PBS. But first, let's go to the COVID frozen food clip from WION, which is World is One News.
Tedros had earlier acknowledged that the lab leak theory was dismissed prematurely.
Meanwhile, China has denied the lab leak theory yet again.
Wait a minute!
We already heard this one!
They tried this already.
They tried this already.
They're trying it again.
Here, listen.
This is from February.
You'll appreciate this.
Now, New Zealand officials are investigating the possibility that its first corona case in more than three months were infected by imported freight.
The country has gone back into lockdown following the discovery of four infected family members in Auckland.
The alert level that we are implementing here in New Zealand was not implemented in Victoria until some weeks after their first cases reappeared in the community.
That is why we are responding strongly and quickly again.
Four other people who had contact with the family are considered likely cases.
So the clip is titled Frozen Food Linked to Latest New Zealand Outbreak.
So I guess we didn't have that piece in the clip, but this is from February.
So the matrix is repeating itself.
Well, the Chinese are blaming foreign food.
Or frozen food, I'm sorry.
Well, seeing as they run the Matrix, why wouldn't they?
We know they all run it.
But the thing is, I've tried to look into this.
What frozen food?
It's never brought up.
Is it frozen corn?
I mean, what frozen food are we talking about?
Pangolin?
Frozen bat?
Frozen pangolin?
Frozen bat?
With bat drippings?
Yes, of course.
Okay, let's do this.
I want to play this.
This is the NPR Advocacy Report, COVID NPR Advocacy Report.
New coronavirus cases averaging more than about 28,000 a day.
It's more than double what they were a month ago.
Masks back on in L.A. County.
Did a lot of people declare victory too soon?
Sad to say that appears to be so, Scott.
And certainly any sense of victory over COVID has to be far from complete at this point.
Numbers going up again.
Many places the increases are dramatic.
You say the average of cases is up that much.
The seven-day average for hospitalizations has risen more than a third.
And the death rate from COVID is up more than a quarter over that same period.
But we need to also note that these numbers are not evenly distributed.
They are disproportionately striking where vaccination rates are low.
And that's not surprising, perhaps, but that does not make it less tragic.
No.
And the saddest part is the sight of so many Americans in our time simply turning their backs on sound medical advice, listening to naysayers, fearmongers, rejecting scientific fact.
It would help if more voices who represent these communities with high degrees of skepticism would speak up and advocate for their best interests.
Ooh, I like this.
Can I play a quickie in between?
Yeah, play what you want.
This is WGN in Chicago.
Who's really to blame?
Now, Dr.
Robert Murphy is a professor of infectious diseases at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.
Good morning.
We are moving in the wrong direction.
The biggest news yesterday, I think, going around was the mask mandate back in California and LA County.
Do you think that's coming here?
It's coming here.
It's just all a matter of time.
Basically, the honeymoon is over.
You know, things really got well.
The CDC relaxed its guidelines, and then people didn't follow the guidelines.
The guidelines were very clear.
If you're vaccinated, you don't have to wear the mask or socially distance.
And what happened is the unvaccinated people said, oh, great, you know, we'll just act like the vaccinated people.
And that is what's driving the pandemic now.
You see, this takes it to the next level.
The unvaccinated people are the a-holes, and they are the ones responsible.
I'm sorry, Christian, evangelical, white, Republicans.
We hate them.
Now, this is another quickie, and then I want to get back to it.
I want to hear the NPR stuff, because it's so riveting to listen to.
Stephanie Rule, who's on MSNBC, who used to work at Deutsche Bank, and really, the boys on the trading desk loved her.
Here's what she had to say.
COVID cases are back on the rise in 48 states, and this morning there's growing questions about the role businesses should be playing in enforcing rules about mask mandates and vaccinations.
Remember...
The U.S. government spent trillions of dollars in the last year supporting businesses, supporting individuals in our time of need.
The question now is, where are these businesses now that the government needs their help?
NPR points out, with mask mandates disappearing, business owners across the country are making and enforcing their own rules.
And for many, that means enforcing absolutely no rules at all.
They're getting a free ride, those a-hole Republicans.
Even though, as she noted, it's on the rise in 48 states.
That was a copy error.
Yeah, that was a screw-up.
She should have been honest and said, it's in the rise in all the red states and now all the Trump supporters.
Why don't they just say it?
They're so close to it.
They kind of hint at it.
They just can't bring themselves to say, let's play that.
Here's the NP. You know what the problem is?
What they can't say is Trump told them not to take it.
That's their frustration.
They can't take it all the way home.
Yeah, I think you're right.
Let's listen to COVID USA. This is N-O-R, update O-N-R. It really means NPR, update one.
I gather numbers are going up, but not necessarily everywhere.
Yeah, that's right.
So Walensky says it's a little bit of a mixed picture.
Cases are rising in some places like California and New York that have pretty good vaccination rates, but she says by far...
What?
What?
Who wrote this?
Get me y'all moan on the phone.
Give the copy editor.
Right away.
Right away.
This is a huge, huge violation of policy.
...are rising in some places like California and New York that have pretty good vaccination rates, but she says by far the most spread is happening in places where not many people are vaccinated.
Bring it home.
In fact, she said 97% of people who get so sick with COVID-19 that they have to be hospitalized are unvaccinated.
Wow.
Officials are concerned by these numbers and point out that sickness and death is avoidable.
COVID-19 is now a vaccine-preventable disease, and people who've been holding out should get vaccinated.
Hold on a second.
There's something wrong with the data.
We heard earlier that they're no longer tracking people who've had the vaccine and the breakthrough cases and get COVID unless they're admitted to the hospital.
So, they don't have that data anymore.
Am I right?
Well, according to somebody else, yes.
And what she says here...
In fact, she said 97% of people who get so sick with COVID-19 that they have to be hospitalized are unvaccinated.
Yeah, well, I guess, yeah, the 97%, it was 99.5, it was at least 99.
It's even worse with the other end of this, where you say, well, it's up 40%, it's up 50%, it's up 30%, deaths are up 25%, they're up 33%.
If you listen to these reports, you go nuts with these bogus percentages.
Mm-hmm.
So this contradicts Judy's report, which is coming after this, which is another rundown, a nonsense rundown with the same kind of fear tactics.
But let's play part two of this.
Do scientists know why the Delta variant seems to be more transmissible than the original strain?
So actually, yes.
I talked to virologist Angela Rasmussen about this.
She's a research scientist at the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization at the University of Saskatchewan.
And she pointed to a compelling preprint study out of China recently that showed people who were exposed to the Delta variant.
No, no.
Not a preprint.
Didn't she say exciting preprint?
I think she said it.
Exciting.
And she pointed to a compelling preprint study of China recently that showed people who were exposed to the Delta variant got sick fast.
And on top of that, when they started to test positive, their viral loads were a thousand times higher than people who had been infected with a variant that had been circulating in 2020.
A thousand times!
That suggests people infected with Delta are shedding way more virus, which could explain why it's so contagious.
Rasmussen says the good news is that it still transmits in the same way as the original strain, so all of those mitigation tools like masking and hand-washing and social distancing, all of those still work to block Delta.
God!
Surely even people who hate Delta Red states, surely they can see a little bit through this, that this is like...
I know.
Wow.
I have faith in the American people, also the ones who see things differently.
They will come around.
Maybe the Facebook thing will help them pay more attention, but if you...
This vaccine is safe.
Okay, so even if you get COVID, you only get a little bit sick, but mask.
Oh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You of little faith.
Did you see that we got the first case of the monkey virus in Texas?
Oh, you got a...
Well, you're in Texas.
You deserve the monkey virus.
Yeah, some dude from Nigeria came through.
I think Dallas.
And he was then diagnosed with the monkey virus.
Do you know what the FDA or the CDC said?
Don't worry.
Everyone on the flight was masked.
Very little chance.
He got spread.
I don't know how contagious monkey virus is, but I know the masks don't help.
That's a great bit.
They have a phony baloney monkey virus outbreak, but because of the masking on the plane, it's not going to get passed around.
Yes.
That's fabulous bull crap.
Yeah.
It is.
Let me see.
CBS, of course.
CBS. It's believed the risk of spread of monkeypox via respiratory droplets to others on the plane and airports is low.
And then the story goes on to explain because everyone was masked up.
Okay, well, let's go to the PBS rundown.
There's a three-parter.
COVID USA. Wrap PBS. The Biden administration sounded the alarm today about a surge of COVID cases in some states and the direct connection with low vaccination rates.
Why does she say some states?
Just say it, Judy.
Just say it.
Republican states, red states.
Christian Republican states.
And the direct connection with low vaccination rates.
The Centers for Disease Control reported about 33,000 new COVID cases in the U.S., 33 is the magic number.
...of about 70% compared with a week ago.
Hospital admissions are up, too, by 36%.
And the average death toll of the past week has climbed to 211 people a day.
During a briefing today, CDC Director Dr.
Rochelle Walensky and other top officials outlined the danger.
This is becoming a pandemic of the unvaccinated.
That is, for any public official to say that, especially as you pointed out, it being grammatically dumb, is beyond me.
I mean, we need to remember people like this, what they did.
If we make it through it, I live in one of those horrible red Christian states.
Yeah.
Who knows what they're going to do?
No, they should.
Like I mentioned, the last week or the last, whenever, guillotines are not a bad way to go.
I think these people could use a little guillotine.
Yeah.
Let's go with two, wrap to, this is two, this is a short clip.
I hope I got the whole thing here because this is, I have it wrapped to illogic.
We are seeing outbreaks of cases in parts of the country that have low vaccination coverage because unvaccinated people are at risk.
I got distracted by the Windows chime.
Let me listen again.
That Windows chime was on the clip.
I believe it.
I still got distracted by it.
We are seeing outbreaks of cases in parts of the country that have low vaccination coverage because unvaccinated people are at risk.
Low vaccination coverage because unvaccinated people are at risk.
Okay?
Well, this whole thing makes no sense.
Play it one more time.
We are seeing outbreaks of cases in parts of the country that have low vaccination coverage.
Wait, wait, wait.
I really want to parse it.
We are seeing outbreaks of cases in parts of the country that have low vaccination coverage because unvaccinated people are at risk.
Because, okay, he says we're having outbreaks in areas that are low vaccination rates, which would be the reason for an outbreak.
But that's not the reason.
The reason isn't because of the low vaccination rate.
It's because, according to her, unvaccinated people are at risk.
She's not a great speechwriter.
This is the dumbest thing you can imagine trying to decipher.
She is literally saying because unvaccinated people are at risk, because they're at risk.
Not because they're unvaccinated, but because they're at risk is the reason for outbreaks.
Well, perhaps it is her, maybe she knows that we're one day going to come for her, and she says, no, but look what I said.
I didn't say anything bad.
Okay, okay, you got me.
We'll let you go.
No noose for you.
Okay, let's wrap this with number three.
One of the reasons for stubbornly low vaccination rates is misinformation, erroneous or outright false information that may dissuade some people from getting a shot.
The White House has been particularly focused on this and the role of social media in allowing false information to spread.
On his way to Camp David today, President Biden laid unmistakable blame on Facebook.
What's your message to platforms like Facebook?
They're killing people.
I mean, it really...
Look, the only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated.
And they're killing people.
Facebook said the president...
By the way, he actually says it right.
He says it differently.
He doesn't say pandemic of the unvaccinated.
He says the only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated.
A moment of clarity for the president.
Unvaccinated.
And they're killing people.
Proving my point.
What?
Proving my point that the whole thing was a moment of clarity.
I mean, it really, look, the only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated.
And they're killing people.
Facebook said the president was wrong.
In a statement, the company said, quote, more than two billion people have viewed authoritative information from Facebook about COVID and vaccines more than any other place on the Internet.
All of This comes as concerns over COVID are spiking regionally.
This afternoon Nevada officials recommended the use of masks in Las Vegas in crowded indoor spaces.
The rise in cases and hospitalizations around the U.S. is particularly bad in parts of the South and the Midwest.
Republican states!
Come on!
Just say it.
Oh, man.
They can't bring themselves.
It's so hard for her to do that.
One last clip is about Boris.
This is COVID UK Johnson.
Hold on a second.
Oh, yeah.
Here it is.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's office denies that it might reverse course on lifting COVID restrictions in England Monday, as Bill and Mark's reports from London scientists warn it'll be a dangerous experiment.
More than a thousand health experts and scientists from around the world have urged British authorities not to lift all social restrictions, including mandatory mask wearing on Monday.
The latest data shows new infections across Britain have topped 50,000, the highest number since mid-January, while some hospital managers have canceled staff vacations and a top government advisor said restrictions could be reintroduced within weeks.
All right, so there you go.
And that came out, and a little talking to his head, and now it's off.
It is.
It's cancelled.
Freedom Day has been cancelled.
I didn't realize there were a thousand letters from a thousand experts who told them not to do it.
Yes.
Well, we know that...
Do you remember the guy from the World Health Organization?
About...
Yeah, I think we played that on the...
He said this is...
Oh, he had a great quote for it, too.
He said the whole idea of what Britain wants to do was this stupid, illogical, oh my goodness, I wish I remember how I titled that clip.
Anyway, shifting to passports for a moment.
Because this is now back in play with the constant talk of mandates, and the mandates are not government mandates.
Well, we're just going to shame companies into doing that.
It'll be part of your ESG score.
You need to mandate.
One of the cities that is mandated right away was New York with their elitist Excelsior Pass.
Excelsior literally means above.
Everyone who has the Excelsior Pass is above the rest.
They can go to concerts and go to restaurants and go to clubs.
Everyone was really excited about the Foo Fighters in California.
Breaking news at this hour.
The Foo Fighters have postponed their upcoming concert on Saturday at the Forum because the band says there has been a confirmed case of COVID-19 within the Foo Fighters organization.
One case confirmed.
Cancel the concert.
In France, very different story.
Almost not covered.
You might have seen just a little mention here or there.
I don't believe the number that they're going to mention.
This is from Reuters, so it's a very dead report.
But France...
The minute Macron came out and said it's time for passports, you won't be able to go to your favorite cafe, the French lost their shit countrywide.
If you were looking online or stuff was sent to you directly, you saw it.
Otherwise, no.
So here's the only report.
Over 100,000 people marched across France Saturday to protest against President Emmanuel Macron's plans to force the vaccination of health workers and require a COVID-19 vaccine certificate or negative test to gain entry to bars, restaurants, and movie theaters.
Demonstrators say Macron's sweeping measures announced this week to fight a surge in COVID infections infringe on their freedom of choice.
Vaccinations are really about individual freedom.
Everyone can choose.
That's not the theme here today.
The theme is about the absence of freedom that is unfortunately continuing to grow in this country.
That's it.
They're taking away our freedoms little by little.
Vaccinated or not, we are all together.
One demonstrator in Paris was seen dressed as the Statue of Liberty.
Some signs read no to the health passport.
Macron's announcement had already prompted demonstrations earlier this week in Paris, where police had fired tear gas to disperse some protesters.
Yeah.
Goodbye, tourism.
of COVID infections.
The average number of new infections in France has rebounded to reach nearly 11,000 per day.
Oh, so barely saw this.
I don't believe that number, 100,000.
I think it was hundreds of thousands.
It was in every major city in France.
But this does lead me to my final COVID clip.
It is also my hate clip of the day.
Have you gotten any better at finding hate clips?
I have a couple of hate.
I do have hate clips.
Okay, then I'll play this hate clip.
But you're going to have to go.
It's from last week's submissions, so you have to go back and dig them up with the database.
I have the titles.
Well, this is an appropriate hate clip because it's about mandating vaccines.
It's about the French.
And there's really still one show that stands head and shoulders above the rest.
It is Pivot from Kara Schwischle.
And Professor...
Galloway.
They are the liberal intellectual elites of the United States.
I think that they're both incredibly wealthy, and I think that they really show us what the true liberal elites, the liberal intellectual elites of America are thinking.
Certain jurisdictions are going to just boom, especially the ones that are vaccinated.
And we'll see if it creates, you know, across the country, but it's still fascinating, you know, what's happening.
I don't know.
I'm going to get shit for this, but isn't it just natural selection?
Isn't it just stupid people prone to conspiracy theory are going to put themselves at greater risk?
Right.
Isn't our correlation between Fox viewers, conspiracy theory, low IQ, and these regions that have decided to totally ignore science, ignore truth, but the argument over...
Is that the definition of bigoted?
It's right in there.
I mean, holy crap!
The strike is on a bunch of dumb hicks down in the south.
They got low IQ, and that's why they're not taking the vaccine.
They're stupid.
Decided to totally ignore science, ignore truth.
The argument over creating pockets of poverty, not only economic poverty, but vaccine poverty, because they all talk each other into believing it.
Vaccine poverty!
It is really dangerous.
It is your right not to take a vaccine.
But guess what?
France isn't going to let you.
What was really interesting is Macron makes an announcement they have to have these vaccines.
Macron!
I forget what they call them.
Macron, you're a handsome man.
Yeah.
And then a million people signed up the next day.
That's just all it took.
What did he do?
Say that again, Kara?
So he said they had to have the passports.
You have to prove if you want to go to their cafes and their other things, you have to have a vaccine.
A million people signed up.
The numbers went up considerably the minute he said you have to.
Our friend Stephanie Rowe called me the other night and she's like, how can the government be giving all this money to people and not be asking them to get vaccinated?
I'm like, I'm with you, sister.
I don't understand why we don't have a vaccine.
I can't for the life of all these companies that took money.
It's the wrong word.
You've got to have another word besides passport.
I don't know why.
You don't like passport?
No, because I think it makes people travel that much.
I think it's got to have another word.
It's got to have something.
A license.
Whatever.
Because we get licenses.
I don't know.
I'm with you, sister.
Fuck this guy's voice.
I'm not sure.
He sounds...
He's just the haughtiest person.
He has this tell when he gets into his...
He has a little laugh thing.
Do you understand why I listen to this show?
It's twice a week.
It's like Vegemite.
You know, you hate it, but you gotta eat it anyway.
Give me some Vegemite.
Give me some Marmite.
Whatever that crap is.
Well, I think a lot of what we're covering today is, and they're stalling this whole thing because they can't make the transition from COVID to climate.
Correct.
And I think this has been identified some time ago.
They've been trying to make the transition from COVID to climate, but they can't do it.
And so they keep stalling on the COVID thing to keep it going, keep the plates spinning in the air, keep the balls, juggling the balls until they can make them to move over.
Now, some people have already tried to make the move or they made the move over.
And one of them is this podcast, Daily Beast podcast, run by Molly Jong-Fass, Erica Jong's daughter.
Who's Erica Jong?
Erica Jong is a famous sex writer.
She wrote about...
She's like the...
She is like the godmother to the Sophia with an F and the other one.
Oh, okay.
Kind of mentality.
And we're just preoccupied with sex.
And Molly's not.
She's actually kind of normal except for her voice and her politics.
And she's extremely left-wing.
And...
And it's really hard to listen to her.
She's very difficult.
But they're talking about climate change on this podcast called The New Abnormal.
Hello?
We'll just get a taste of it here.
So you have to find New Abnormal.
And the other one is I have a spinoff clip from her called Jong's Podcast, Blowing Hot Air, which are just two sets you've got to look at.
But let's look up New Abnormal 1 and play it.
Hi, Emily.
Welcome to The New Up Normal.
Thank you for having me.
Very excited.
You know, one of the many reasons why I wanted to have you was you talked about this idea that like with the pandemic, where we had to learn how to write about COVID, we need to learn how to write about climate.
That more generalized people in the opinion space and in the more straight newsy space need to know how to cover climate.
Yeah, I mean, I've really wanted this for a long time.
I think that it would really benefit everyone's analysis of the way the world works, especially for general reporters and pundits on politics.
As someone that's been looking at climate change for seven and a half years, I don't understand how you can pundit about the political future or about our future at all without having a basic understanding of climate change.
Because all this is just going to get worse.
I don't even mean that as, I'm like not a pessimist in that way, but I'm a reporter and I know it's going to get worse.
I'm sorry, there's just no way.
How do you listen to this?
This is a podcast?
Hey, if you want to do hate clips, you're talking to the wrong guy.
That's a good point there.
And so, you want hate clips?
I got some clips that you just make your eyeballs itch now.
Now, first of all, Jong is talking to, with that screechy voice, talking to another one of her pals who's got the same voice, which I find interesting in all these podcasts.
You listen to these podcasts, and you hear people with just these same voices talking to each other, and they're crazy voices.
Is this a Spotify exclusive or something?
Because I can't imagine.
How did you find this clip?
How did you find this podcast?
I was dogged.
All right.
This woman who's the reporter that's being interviewed, she makes the claim that people should learn how to write about climate and be advocates.
She pushes the idea that all reporters should have a perspective that they promote.
Yeah.
Yes.
Don't they teach that in jazz school?
They're starting to, I think.
So this is the part two before we get to the clip that I thought was hilarious.
Well, you're not incredibly old, but Jesse and I are incredibly old, so we know we're not incredibly old.
But we are in our 40s, early, early, very young 40s.
But we have seen, I mean, certainly I've seen the change in summers.
You know, you never had 90 degree, 100 degree days in New York in June, ever.
What?
What?
Okay, I lived in New York City.
That's bullcrap.
That's total bullcrap, and I decided to get an account with newspapers.com and look it up.
Yeah.
Oh, like in 1952, in June, there was a 98.7 day, and I may have touched 100.
Yeah.
This June, I've been to New York in June where it was bad, and she says, never, never.
So she's a liar.
But that's okay.
And who does she report for?
Daily Beast.
You know, obviously, I read the New York Times, like, all day long.
Mainly on my iPad app.
Could have sworn she was from the New York Times, but okay.
Daily Beast, same thing, only it's a farm team.
Yeah.
Let's play the joint.
Now, this is a clip where it's just hate.
These women, they're uninformed and...
Under-informed.
Bigoted.
Under-informed.
Under-informed, I'm sorry.
Under-informed, bigoted, annoying with these screechy voices, and vocal fry, and now she's going to do her thing about oil companies, and I just thought this was just too rich.
This is John's podcast, blowing hot air on oil companies.
It's so interesting.
I mean, the one good thing which is going to kill Republicans, which will be fun to watch, is that a lot of this clean energy is much cheaper, right?
So wind and, you know, solar, and there are just all of these energies that are much cheaper.
Well, Republicans, as you remember from the Trump administration, tried to make coal...
It's going to kill Republicans, which is going to be fun to watch, she says.
This is the typical violent nature.
I mean, I talk about the guillotine and they talk, okay, so we're even.
Then she goes on with this case.
You're talking about leaders, not voters.
That's true.
She's talking about the public.
Yeah.
Yeah, I know.
How can you be that way?
How can you be that sick?
But that's okay.
The thing that gets me is this idea, which you've debunked on the show in numerous ways, that renewables are so much cheaper that that's why it's going to swing that way.
Really?
Yeah.
In what universe is this true?
I got a bid.
I was interested in what I could do here to be completely off the grid.
I got a bid for wind, wind power.
Which is doable out here.
So, in order to power the home, forget about having a battery, alright?
Because I don't think that whole thing works.
But I would need a 100-foot tower with this turbine on top of it.
100-foot tower with a turbine.
$290,000.
And then you have to have maintenance every three months.
Oh yeah, the maintenance.
Please.
Yeah, no.
Yeah, no.
Alright, back to the podcast.
Yes.
...are just all of these energies that are much cheaper.
While Republicans, as you remember from the Trump administration, tried to make coal great again and are going to try to tack on lots of tax credits for oil and gas.
Do you think that this capitalist, the cheapness of it will...
I mean, look, I don't think anything is going to save us at this point, but do you think that that will help us along?
So my biggest...
Concern about this is that when you are a huge company, like Exxon, Chevron, these big oil companies, and you see a viable competitor coming in, like renewable energy, you don't just stand by and let it happen.
You try to buy the competitor.
You try to become the competitor.
And that's what you're seeing with these big energy conglomerates like Exxon, Chevron, BP, Shell.
What they're doing is they're buying up the small renewable energy companies and using them as PR to say, look at how green we are.
We invested $100 million in solar energy this year, when in reality, $100 million is like a super tiny little drop in the bucket.
And at the same time, their larger business model What a view of the world.
Now, you want hate clips?
I'll be on this track for a while.
Okay, good.
But I'll find more than just these two or this woman.
Oh, by the way, if you notice in the first second clip or the second clip, this is not Molly Jong fast by herself.
There's some guy named Jeff who's supposed and he never talks.
Every once in a while he laughs.
But the guy never says anything, at least in this podcast.
He never came up in the conversations that he was introduced and he said hello and then he laughed at a couple of things.
He never jumped in or said anything.
It's very strange.
Maybe he's like in the Soviet Union.
You had to have a guy from the Bureau sitting there to approve of what you're saying was going on.
I don't think that's it, but it could be.
So just sticking on climate change, we might as well roll all the way through Germany.
The Netherlands, Belgium.
It could not have come at a better time.
One day after Franz Timmermans releases the Green Deal, they don't have a new deal, they got the Green Deal, which is some astronomical amount every country, every state in the European Union will have to contribute money that they don't have.
One day later, a catastrophic flooding.
I shouldn't say storm, but flooding.
I can't wait until we finally figured out what happened here.
I mean, yeah, there was a lot of rain, but I've seen weird stuff in these three countries.
I've lived in two of them.
Oh, I have the PBS report.
They tell you what happened.
Oh, yeah.
Gee, what's the clip?
Germany.
EU floods.
Okay, yes.
As parts of Europe dig out from this latest weather disaster, the European Union this week revealed an ambitious climate change plan, one that could hopefully, in time, lessen these types of disasters.
The EU is proposing a slew of initiatives, including a tax on jet fuel and completely phasing out new gas in diesel cars by 2035.
Policymakers say the whole plan could cut Europe's greenhouse gas emissions by 55%.
Change on this scale is never easy.
Never.
Even when it's necessary.
Yes.
And for that reason, there are some who will say we should go slower, we should go lower, we should do less.
But when it comes to climate change, doing less or doing nothing literally means changing everything.
Scientists have linked extreme weather fluctuations from heat waves to torrential rains to climate change.
And these extremes are not confined to Europe.
Last month, ground temperatures in the Arctic Circle reached over 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
Much of the western United States is suffering through a severe drought, which has provided ready tender for wildfires that have broken out, especially early this year.
And for the first time in recorded history, deforestation and fires in the Amazon, coupled with warmer temperatures, are causing parts of the rainforest to now spit out more carbon dioxide than it absorbs.
Scientists fear this reversal could be a tipping point where one of the Earth's best ways of storing massive amounts of carbon is now becoming a carbon emitter.
I read this.
And I need to see some data on that.
Are they confusing carbon dioxide with just carbon?
No.
I think they had an expert come on who got interviewed.
I don't think I have a clip of him.
But they went on about this.
He said, for one thing, it's minor.
There isn't an exudation of CO2 from...
Good word.
Exudation?
Because of the rotting underbrush.
You know, when rot, things start to rot, it will produce methane and other carbon, methane and carbon dioxide and some other messy stuff comes up.
And the expert says, the guy was pretty honest, and I was impressed with the fact that he had him on there, because this guy keeps talking about tipping points, this commentator.
And the expert says, you know, it never sucked up that much carbon dioxide in the first place, which we've talked about years ago, proving that was the lungs of the world.
We've just proven that.
And the guy said, and it's not pushing out that much CO2 either.
It's just bullshit.
They also cannot play this up too high because that ruins the...
The AGW part of climate change.
The man-made climate change.
Is it our fault the Amazon's burning?
That's a good point.
That's actually a really good point.
Buckers.
Okay, we'll wrap it up here.
I want to know how these floods happened.
Do you remember the floods that we discussed on this show about six, seven years ago when there was this...
And it turned out that this lodge...
It was in Germany or someplace, and it turned out that's because they deforested an area to...
They logged out some part of the country that was always protecting from these floods and then the floods happened.
Even though people said, oh, you can't cut down those trees, you can't do this, you can't move the river, it's going to cause a mess.
Remember this?
Yeah, I'm trying to think where it was.
I thought it was in Germany.
It was all explained.
It was just a screw-up.
It's like people that move into the floodplains of the Midwest.
They're known floodplains, and they're called floodplains for a reason.
So they set up a shop in the floodplain, and then they get washed away during the one-every-decade flood.
So, I don't know.
Well, to save the environment...
You've got to hand it to the United Kingdom.
The Brits are now requiring, according to the Mirror, which you know, there's got to be some truth in there somewhere, cocaine users are paying higher prices for ethically sourced cocaine that comes straight from Colombia.
Sorry?
Yeah.
They're asking their drug dealers for the...
Is this like a blood diamond?
Yes.
Oh, that's blood cocaine?
You have to get the good stuff?
The quote is, environmentally friendly sniff.
Oh my god, are you kidding me?
Woke Coke.
Woke Coke.
Yeah.
Now, I don't...
I mean, this is...
It's in the mirror.
I don't know.
But, you know, it's like the government's worried because...
Hey, man, if I'm going to have coke, I want it to be woke, man.
And this lousy coke they're using, exploiting the workers.
I want some good stuff that they're not exploiting the workers.
I'll pay extra.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage, and in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the big cash prizes, ladies and gentlemen, Mr.
John C. Dvorak.
In the morning to you, Mr.
Adam Curry.
In the morning to all ships at sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
And a big hoo-how, haiti-ho, in the morning to the trolls.
We got trolls.
We are the only one who call them by their correct pronoun, which is troll, trolly trolls.
These are trolls.
They're at trollroom.io, and they sit there during every single live show, but not just them.
I mean, they sit there 24 hours a day.
I mean, I'm a troll.
Whenever there's another show on, I'm a troll.
Let's count them for a second.
Hands up there, trolls.
Let's see how many we got.
Let's see how many we got.
Oh, they're scurrying away!
Woo!
Okay, for some reason I didn't get my...
Here we go.
Ooh, 2097.
So, 2100 for Sunday?
I can never remember.
No, that's good.
It's not bad.
Anything over 1800 on Thursday and anything over 2000 on Sunday is the new normal.
That's the new normal, and we've got to track it.
Even Tina said she really liked the last show, and she's quite discerning, as you can imagine.
She had to go to Austin, so she did her round trips.
Perfect.
It's perfect for our show.
Oh, yes.
Drives?
Yeah.
It's a drive-time show.
Drive-time.
We are drive-time, everybody.
So that's the Troll Room.
And there's a lot of people hanging out there.
So if you want to go join them, go to trollroom.io 24-7.
No Agenda Stream running on that.
Then we have...
Oh, yes.
We have a new decentralized Mastodon instance, which is federated now with noagendasocial.com.
No Agenda Socialist.
NoagendaSocialist.com, I believe, is taking submissions.
What's interesting, because he did it through Masto.host, which I think charges five euros for, you know, you could have a lot of your friends on there.
He tried to set up a Mastodon with some other provider, and they said, oh, I'm sorry, we can't do that with anything Noagenda, because we got DDoS'd by people related to Noagenda.
I'm like, that doesn't sound right.
No, no, no.
Why would our people do that?
We don't have time for it.
I guess probably not implying that we're doing the DDoSing, but people DDoS us.
That, I believe.
I'm sure that happens.
Because, you know, we're on the free speech list.
You're not allowed to have a free speech zone.
But you can follow us there, and if you have any Mastodon account, I see a lot of foreign Mastodon or non-Noagenda Mastodon accounts showing up in the federated timeline.
You can follow John C. Dvorak at NoAgendaSocial.com or Adam at NoAgendaSocial.com.
And let us thank the artist for episode 1364, 1,364.
We titled that Freedom Phony.
Well, not later.
And the artwork was pretty much unanimous.
The award goes to correct the record, although I see incorrectly.
Darren is also listed for some reason.
And this was just a beautiful amalgamation of what happened in the show.
It's the watermelon himself with his bathrobe on in John Kerry's three-way.
And he's here to party!
And I think we just...
I mean, no matter...
It was just...
It was good.
It was spot on.
We both laughed.
Even though there was a ton of art.
Oh, yes.
We could have picked...
If that wasn't...
If that didn't exist, there was at least five, six more pieces we could have picked.
Yeah.
Let me see.
What were the pieces we were talking...
And we had some new people show up.
Mellow Madness.
But Mellow Madness and Joe Carao...
They just posted a whole bunch of things they thought would work for the show.
You know what I mean?
It's probably good to re-explain what we're doing with these images.
We have so many new listeners.
We also have to re-explain our executive producers, associate executive producers.
Yeah, I tried to do something with the FAQ for the artists.
I think it was one of the women were going to help me and then I dropped the ball as usual.
Now it's on the list of the Vinegar book and if I don't get my act together...
There was a couple pieces I liked all over.
I used one of them.
I used Mellow Madness's Globe for the newsletter.
Yeah, yeah.
I thought it was actually pretty nice, but it didn't use...
For Mellow Madison, the newbies, you have to have Dvorak Curry on there.
Right.
Oh, yeah.
And all these...
None of them have it.
Yeah, that's interesting.
So it's not the template...
Well, I know it's not the template, but they're breaking the style guide.
Most of the winning art doesn't use the template anymore, but you still have to have Dvorak Curry on it.
Yes, style guide calls.
It's mandatory.
It's pretty hard to get an art through that doesn't have it.
Let's put it that way.
However, you don't want to necessarily put the episode number on it, because that means it'll never be able to be used for anything else ever again.
In the future.
In the future, yes.
Unless I'm going to drop it into Photoshop and fix it, which I'm reluctant to do, although I have done it.
Also, my own personal tip, if the title of your art is the joke, that's not going to work.
And that's common.
Very common that the guy will put some artwork out.
And then the title, it's the title that makes it work because the title's funny.
The title doesn't go into the RSS feed.
It's got nothing to do with it.
So it's just like a half of a joke.
Yeah.
It should be the art, stand-alone art.
Not knowing what the title is, we should think it's good.
Well, no matter what, congratulations.
Correct a record.
Well deserved this win.
And for all the other artists, try a new podcast app, and you can probably see your art being added to the chapters, 30 or 40 sometimes, as Dreb Scott does.
You need a podcasting 2.0 compatible app, newpodcastapps.com.
And that should hook you right up.
It's well worth it.
And we thank the efforts of all of these artists.
You can participate.
That's the cool thing about it.
Go to noagendaartgenerator.com.
You should be able to create a new account if you don't have one yet.
That fails sometimes, but...
We'll figure it out for you and just start uploading.
We select the art pretty much right after the show.
The live show is over.
So it really is something that you have to have the time for to sit here and listen to get your idea and then grab it.
It's incredible what these artists are capable of.
I never cease to be amazed about the creativity and that's why I'm happy we're able to show a lot of those.
I've actually been always in contact with Mike Riley and I had him do the art for my last I saw that.
This was the Billionaires in Space.
What was the title of it?
Space Jerks.
Space Jerks.
That was a great animation.
It worked perfectly in my email.
Yeah.
People puke.
Well, we were, you know, Riley was, you know, I would have probably run earlier, but I was, I said, I'm stopping.
I'm not publishing this column until his art comes in.
And so he kind of, so he did the animation.
I thought he was going to do art without, but he, he kind of hasn't done animation before because he found it too tedious, but he says some new tools came up and the newest version of Photoshop that make it easy.
Now he wants to do animations all the time.
Uh, and, Yes, the animation.
And he says, I hope that animated GIFs work.
I don't know.
I didn't know.
And so I tested it.
And yeah, they do work on Substack.
So that's kind of cool.
Yeah, it worked perfectly.
I mean, how long until people start getting deplatformed on Substack?
I don't know how long or when.
My typical columns are kind of meta and they're not really targeting anything.
But I think it's going to happen.
You were targeting some of the richest men in the world.
Yeah, but they got nothing to do with it.
You know what?
Guys like that, they love the attention.
I agree.
Well, we're all looking forward to Bezos going up into space.
Oh crap, you know what?
Might as well just do this here.
It's not a big stretch to understand that space travel can be risky, but Jeff Bezos, you see, when you're a billionaire, you can have a plan.
On Tuesday, when he launches his new rocket, New Shepard, it will be equipped with an escape capsule.
Oh, what a phony!
So that dickhead, the knob of his rocket is an escape pod that can jettison off if something goes wrong.
Ugh.
Weak.
Or maybe only he has one and the other passengers die.
Bye!
Yeah, that would be great.
All right.
This is a Value for Value podcast.
I believe we pioneered the concept.
The idea is just send us whatever you think the show was worth.
Now, we've expanded that since our producers do so much more.
So we asked for the one or more of the three Ts, your time, your talent, or your treasure.
So it's clear.
On the No Agenda show, welcome all new listeners.
When you go for an executive producer or associate executive producer credit, this is no different than Hollywood.
This is how the show is funded, just like Hollywood, where executive producers, producers, they get the money and put the money into the project.
And they get whatever value out of it they want.
Typically, you get to hang out with actors and actresses, bang a couple.
So we are happy to thank them, give them the appropriate titles.
$200 up to $300.
Between $200 and $300 is associate executive producer.
$300 or above is executive producer.
Not set by us, actually.
Set by...
It's collaborative over the years as the show has grown.
And you're welcome to request a couple jingles.
We'd like three to be a maximum.
You're welcome to really say anything you want.
Please consider your other...
You're supporters of the show, you're other producers who also have things to say and don't hog up the space.
And that's really it.
And 50 or above in our second segment, we sometimes pick something out of there to read, but it's not guaranteed.
And you shouldn't be requesting jingles.
You can request them and we're not going to play them.
Where?
Anywhere?
In the $50 donations.
No, no, because they won't get played.
But I want you to know we watch everything.
So, for instance, we got Kilgore Trout of the Dude's Name, Ben, retired.
He has changed his donation from $4 weekly to $55.10 monthly.
We care about these things.
And we read it, and we know you're out there.
And thank you very much for your courage.
Let's thank our executive producers, John.
Yeah.
Let's start with Travis Molnar, $1,600.
And he sent an email.
Thank you very much.
He sent an email, and normally these get forwarded because they have the right subject line, which he did.
But this came in at like 25 minutes to midnight.
I was in bed.
So it didn't get forwarded.
Do you have it, though?
Hello, John.
I have it, though.
Good.
Hello, John and Adam.
Adam and John.
Hello.
There's really only two of us.
The Fed's put this money in our bank account for some reason.
Since we have never stopped stimulating the economy with our visible faces anyway, I thought I would use the money to honor my beautiful, hot, and wonderful wife with a damehood.
Ha-ha.
So get your pencil out.
Yes.
And since she really likes rings and imprinting wax on the ceiling with signets, this is a perfect gift.
Yes.
The God-given love of my life also enjoys some significance in numbers.
So this is $1,600 for our 16th wedding anniversary that occurred on July 16th this year.
Nice.
And does she have a name?
Does she have a first name?
She would like to be known as Dame Zephyr.
Okay, so we don't have a first name, though.
I don't have a first name.
It would be Mrs.
Johnson.
Johnson?
Well, she's Dame Zephyr.
Yeah, but when you get damed, you don't have the name until you get damed.
Do you know how this works?
I'm usually taking a crap during that period of the show.
She would like...
Okay, she's got a request here.
I don't know what her first name is.
Mrs.
Travis.
She would like some tiramisu at the round table.
Mjolnir.
Mrs.
Milner.
Tiramisu at the round table.
Okay.
Maybe her name's Zephyr.
Huh?
A little personal account.
I've always had a chip on my shoulder about Apple's marketing campaign with the iPod as it was just too manipulative like the M5M. Oh.
So all those products and things out there with Pod in the name, I just avoid it.
But after hearing the pod father on the Juan Rogan show I listened to when I was moving to South Dakota, I learned my mistake.
I spread this joy onto my wife and here we are listening to every show.
I thank God for that timing.
Thanks, Travis.
Do you know that was such a point of contention when the name podcasting started to be used?
There were a lot of, in fact, was it not the inventor of the netcast who thought that would be a better name?
People didn't want to call it a podcast.
That's related to Apple, man!
Holy shit, that was almost a tech grouch.
I never had the...
It's close.
I never had the...
I never had this issue with the...
I always thought it was...
I never liked the term podcast.
It always had a...
But it was like it described a specific thing.
Netcast always seemed like some sort of...
I don't know what it seemed like.
It seemed like NBC or something.
It was a little too...
It's a little too formal.
But I understand the mechanism coming up with that name.
And that's why I was okay.
I'm like, oh, that's fine.
Everyone's calling it that.
But then, you know, now when they start calling a podcast a pod, I just want to pop someone in the face.
I hate it so much.
That's the best part.
Yeah, it went pod.
I'm dropping my pod.
Well, you're the pod father under any circumstance.
Thank you.
Any jingles for this?
No jingles, no karma.
All right.
But give them a karma.
Yeah, I think that is...
For their wedding anniversary.
Yes, indeed.
And they never had a fight!
You've got karma.
Now we go to Mac Johnston from Phoenix, Arizona.
$800.
Bam!
In the morning, this donation of $800 will bring me to Knighthood Accounting Attached.
This is my first executive producer donation, so please can I get an official de-douching one?
Of course you deserve it.
You've been de-douched.
Just want to say thanks for the work you two do on a daily basis for us producers.
Well, I really only do the show twice a week.
But yeah, I guess we're working all the time.
The information you provide is more valuable than any donation that could be given.
And also to the producers, you are doing the work that every journalist should be doing but isn't.
Well, this is...
Let me just say, this is the beauty of the model...
The production quality that we're able to achieve and editorial quality is superior because of the model.
Because everybody takes responsibility and they know that just not a passive listener, you're an active producer in the process.
So, you know, take note, NPR. I'd like to call out Joe B, Kamala H, and Nancy P. He has douchebags for not donating to the best podcast in the universe.
For my name, I would like to be known as Sir Greybeard of the Moon Valley.
I would like some F-cancer karma for my Uncle Paul, who we thought was out of the woods but isn't yet.
Jingles.
Oh, how did I miss these?
Somehow I missed these.
Jingles, Rubbalizer, no problem because we got you covered.
Rubbalizer, Putin on the Ritz, gosh, I hadn't heard that one in a long time.
But, okay, Putin on the Ritz.
And what else do we have here?
You might die in some R2-D2. Okay, you might die in R2-D2. Oops, again.
Oh, can we add vape pens and veal to the round table?
Again, thanks for the wonderful work you do.
And for your courage, Sir Greybeard of the Moon Valley.
Of course, you will be knighted that later on in this program.
India, hang out.
Mike, stand by.
33, 33, 33.
Rob Eliza, out.
If you're blue and you don't know where there's fake news, why don't you get your Gitmo fix?
Putin on the reds.
Dressed up like a million dollar trooper.
Trying not to look like Anderson Cooper, super pooper.
Come, let's mix where John Podesta walks with kids.
Oh, I mean pizzas in his midst.
Food on the wrist.
Forgot about how good that was.
Secret Agent Paul.
You've got...
Alright.
Yeah, that's actually a very superior little work.
I have not played that in a long time.
I love that one.
Sir CMike669, please find our 669 Switcheroo donation attached.
This is for Adam Ziegler of Rock Island, Illinois, in honor of his 11th human resource.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Wait, wait.
11th?
Yeah, he needs all the help he can get.
Wait, wait, wait a minute.
With respect, but you're giving it to Adam and not his wife?
Who deserves it?
She's passed out in the corner and doesn't listen to the show.
Doesn't care.
Do whatever you want.
Just stay away from me.
The latest, number 11, is born 7-15, a show day.
Combined with his previous donation at 3-33-33, this vaults him past the mark for knighthood, and we ask that you please knight him, sir, goes to 11.
Nice.
Adam is a very civil engineer, a little pun there, a true renaissance man and knows pretty much everything about birds and bees, obviously, as evidenced by the numerous chickens and beehives.
Cheers also to his smoking hot wife.
No, no, I think it's just smoking wife.
She's just smoking.
As they are quickly repopulating the Midwest under the patronage of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.
Have no fear, because in the end, her immaculate heart will triumph.
73, C. Mike, Dane Blackhammer, Sirs Matt and Mike from Macquokita, and our Smokin' Hot Wives.
Wow.
Well, thank you all.
Thank you very much, and congratulations.
Switcheroo has been achieved.
I'm going to give you guys a karma, even though you asked for it.
You've got karma.
And 73 is Keto 5, Alpha Charlie Charlie.
Eric Guth is from Los Angeles, is wearing his mask.
$500.
Oh, he says, I gave you, oh, this is another ham.
This is cool.
I gave you a donation of $500 under KEG Media Inc.
in Los Angeles.
This is my company where I produce the QSO Today podcast and the QSO Today Virtual Ham Expo, the largest virtual amateur radio online convention so far in the world.
Yes, I'm a frequent listener and certain subscriber of this podcast.
We are returning to our VFairs platform August 14th and 15th with over 90 great amateur radio presentations and a virtual exhibit hall.
John, you might want to write this down.
I'm writing, I'm writing.
I invite your listeners who have an interest in our amazing amateur radio hobby, a truly federated communications platform, yes, except in Cuba, where it's being blocked.
Please come to QSOtoday at qsotoday.com or qsotodayhamexpo.com to learn more about this amazing hobby that has captivated Adam and me for almost 50 years.
I hope that you will renew your license in return as well, John.
See?
The word is out.
The ham community is on to you.
I know you have time.
I know you have time.
Adam has inspired me as a podcaster and now with over 360 published weekly episodes to pursue Federation and a Macedon server, as well as syndicating my content without dependence on the big platforms.
Thanks, Adam!
Please divide my donation as follows.
$400 from my executive producer of this episode so I can put it on my resume.
I love the little girl ISOs and Karma.
We got her as a yay, always.
And $100 in honor of my awesome brother, Tim, who is also a No Agenda listener, Douchebag, please give him a de-douche-ing.
You've been de-douched.
And he says, thank you very much for your courage.
Continued good health.
Karma 73's Eric Guth for Zulu 1 Uniform Golf.
When the apocalypse comes, we're the guys who are going to save the world, right?
Yeah.
Seems like it.
Okay.
Raymond Berry's next on the list.
435-33.
My name is Ray and I have been a monthly subscriber to your program since July 2020.
First to discover your program after Adam's previous appearance on the JRE in March 2020.
Joe Rogan Donation.
And I've been a producer ever since.
The No Agenda podcast has kept me and other producers sane this past year, and this is my way of giving back.
I believe this donation puts me into knight status, and I provide accounting as it is attached.
I would like to be called Sir Vegas Ray, Knight of Naked City.
I would like some Southern Comfort and Coke and some Chocolate Gummy Bears at the Round Table.
Wow.
Yum.
Chocolate Gummy Bears.
Yum, yum, yum.
Jingles and Karma.
Al Sharpton's Respect.
Fauci Wee's Relationship Karma.
Thanks again.
And looking forward to my first meetup.
R-E-S-P-I-C-T. Freestyle.
You've got karma.
Yes, our next executive producer comes from the Netherlands, Sir Lather of Indecision from Soost.
In the Netherlands, 3-51-85 with a reason for that.
He says today, 7-17, when he sent this donation, marks the seventh commemoration of the downing of Malaysian Airlines Flight 17.
In loving memory of Rob, Caroline, Allart, and Jeroen, who were among those whose lives were lost that day, I donate 298 symbolic euros, one for every passenger.
Seven years on, and a monument of the proverbial incompetence of the Dutch government.
Lest we forget, lest we forget, he wants karma.
Yours, Sir Lather, of indecision.
Yeah, it's really shitty, man.
They have boxed that thing around.
They have lied.
It's just so horrible how that investigation has gone.
And I'm floored that it's been seven years since that happened, and we still don't have an answer.
You've got karma.
Now we have...
I've got the note right here.
You can tell it's physical.
$333.96 in Rimrock, Arizona.
And this is Eric.
And I don't know if we want his last name or not because he's known by almost no one on No Agenda Social as Herr Harschopf.
ITM Buzzkill and Crackpot.
This is Eric, known by almost no one on NA Social as Herr Harschopf.
Here is my long overdue donation of 333.96.
I'd like to thank my dad, Anonymous from Bridgewater, for hitting me in the mouth.
By the way, it's the worst penmanship ever, I should mention.
It's kind of like mine, actually.
I was about 11 years old.
Whoa!
11?
Yeah.
So how old is he now?
Well, he can't be over 24.
So he's probably 23.
But just for what you said, my handwriting is like this or worse.
So I'm okay.
I'm glad we can read it.
It's readable.
It's readable, but it's crappy.
It's bad.
But it is readable.
That's the thing about it.
I've seen worse.
Also, the third Northern Arizona meetup was a success with Dick Dick.
From Lost Wages, Sir Chips of the...
No, Chris, I think it is.
Sir Chris, I'm sorry, Chris.
I can see where it says chips.
Sir Chris of the...
Now, this I don't...
I can't read.
I got it.
Sir Chris of the Benevolent Order of the Choo Choo's.
And his human resources in attendance.
No jingles, no karma.
And this includes...
Actually, two donations should have been made to 500-something.
Hair Horse Shop 33395.
And Dick Dick came in with 21717.
And we'll put him onto the associate executive producer list.
Oh, so Dick Dick...
Let me do it now, because otherwise we'll forget.
Dick Dick?
And how much for Dick?
Oh, it doesn't matter.
Dick Dick is on the...
Yeah, he's just on the list.
Yeah, he's on the list.
Okay.
All right, now, back to where we were.
Yes, this is the Diloretto Sisters.
Is that your read on it?
The DeLoretta sisters.
Ladies and gentlemen, here's a beat you want to swing to with the DeLoretta sisters.
And they're in Springfield, Oregon.
In the morning, John and Adam, we've been listening since early 2021 when we were smacked in the mouth by our childhood friend Kyle.
We have yet to donate until today, so please give us all a de-douching.
You've been de-douched.
Oh, but it gets better.
Kyle.
We recently smacked our mother Joyce in the mouth and now she listens religiously.
We'd like to make a donation for her in the amount of 333.65 as our mom's favorite number is 3 and for her 65th birthday coming up on the 21st.
She's been battling for years with her health but she's the strongest woman we know and an amazing example to us girls.
John and Adam, thank you both for keeping us sane, laughing us through these times of uncertainty and Wait, I just lost my place here.
How did that happen?
John, I'm thinking of laughing through this time of uncertainty and keeping us ahead of everyone else.
There you go.
Our mother loves you!
Happy birthday, Mom, from your three human resources.
We love you.
Love is lit.
Please add her to the birthday list.
And they want biscuits for her birthday.
They want a sleepy Joe.
And what else do they want?
A health car.
Oh, a health car.
And don't eat me, Bo-Gitant.
Yeah, it's kind of out of order, so I gotta pull it back there.
Don't eat me, Bo Jiden.
And what is the one I'm missing?
Oh, Sleepy Joe.
Okay.
They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
Don't eat me, Joe Biden!
It's a different one, but...
Sleepy Joe!
Sleepy Joe!
You've got karma.
All right, so, yes, so we have to say it would be, we don't know her name, but we don't want to give her the credit.
So how about the DeLoretto sisters' mom?
How about that?
Yep.
Because I like that, then they get some credit too.
That's a good sound.
All right.
Ernest Parton's next on the list from Westchester, Ohio, 333.33.
Dear John and Adam, executive producer credit for Chris C.P. and other switcheroo.
Please de-doucher.
You've been de-douched.
Seems that coining the term switcheroo has resulted in lots of them.
Switcheroos, yeah.
We've manifested this.
The donation signifies a...
You know, there used to be a football play called the switcheroo.
They had to finally make it illegal.
And it was only a few years ago that they made it illegal.
The University of California in its...
Lousy days, which is most of the time.
They used to employ this play a lot.
And the play consists of the following.
The center has his hand on the football And he feigns hiking it and puts it back on the ground.
On the ground?
And then puts it back on the ground right where it was.
Isn't play over then if you do that?
If you catch it and put it on the ground, isn't the play over?
No, this is football.
No, it's called a fumble ruski.
I just realized the real name.
Anyway, it's called a fumble ruski, but I always thought of it as a switcher.
No, just like any fumble.
So you put the ball back on the ground and you block somebody and block them away from the ball.
One of the running backs or the quarterback or somebody picks the ball up and runs with it.
And everybody's so confused by this that they banned it.
They banned the play.
It's a great play.
Yeah.
Well, where was this?
California?
Yeah.
Okay.
Sure.
All right.
What does she want here?
Okay, where are we?
The donation signifies a couple of milestones, her birthday on 7-17, and her one-year anniversary of listening to the show.
Karma for everyone.
It's Chrissy P. You've got karma.
Then we have India Tango Mike says Wyatt Wermes from Phoenix, Oregon with 333.33.
I want Job's.
Job's in a dealer's choice of Sharpton.
Stay safe.
We got that.
R-E-S-P-I-C-T Jobs.
Jobs.
I can't get enough of the Jobes.
I've always loved that.
Murr is up.
M-U-R-R-3333.
These are all people taking part in the executive producer promotion.
It's crazy, yes.
In Los Gatos, California.
I need to thank my former boss, Martin of Netherlands, for hitting me in the mouth three years ago.
Uncle Joe sent a letter from the White House explaining his child tax credit payment plan, which I can only assume is a scheme to unload some of his freshly printed money.
My share 3.333.33.
Not a joke.
Not a joke.
Not a joke, man.
Not a joke.
I knew exactly what to do with it.
A douchebag no more.
Let's de-douche him.
You've been de-douched.
If you could spare some much-needed jobs, Carmen, it would be great.
Murr from Los Guitos.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
You've got karma.
Dame Miodison is back from Altamonte Springs, Florida.
3333.
Everyone big on the show.
On the executive producer drive.
Happy magic number birthday to me.
It's my 33rd birthday on a show day, so obviously I couldn't skip out on this opportunity.
Please add me to the birthday list.
33 today, July 18th.
Jingles.
Can I get a biscuit for my birthday?
You can get that.
Atlas Shrugged.
I've not heard that one in a long time.
And an old-fashioned karma.
Thank you guys for everything you do and providing the best content and karma in the universe.
Love and let love de miaudison.
They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.
It's one of our first jingles, man.
It goes back, back, back, back, back.
Did you give her the karma?
Did she ask for that?
Yeah, an old-fashioned karma.
Oh, old-fashioned karma.
Sorry, here we go.
My apologies, Damian.
You've got karma.
Amanda is next on the list.
Wyant3333.
My husband and I recently got a letter from Bo Jiden saying that he will be giving us a tax credit for $333.33 on account of our...
Maybe this is the reason.
Not the gimmick so much.
So we're literally taking money out of baby's mouths.
On account of our human resource.
Yeah.
I would hope that they have plenty of money for the baby.
I took the amount as a sign to contribute some treasure to No Agenda, government treasure at that.
Thank you, government.
Yeah.
So I am passing it on to you guys.
Can you please de-douche me?
You've been de-douched.
Thanks to you and Adam for putting out such a great podcast.
All the best, Amanda.
And thank you, COVID, for bringing so many women to the show, birthing persons.
It's so nice to have them.
We never used to have this many dames or even executive producers.
We had a fair share.
We had a good share, like maybe 30%.
Now it's half and half.
Do you think really it's half and half?
I think so, I'm pretty sure.
Wow.
All right.
Next, we have Swarthy from the Desert.
33333.
Call me Swarthy from the Desert.
I'll do that.
Sir Perfunk of the Trolls.
333.
Jingle Smokin' Hot Wife.
Karma at the end.
First off, thank you for all you do.
Second, can I get a Smokin' Hot Wife jingle for my Smokin' Hot Wife?
Well, of course you can.
Third, I'd like to thank my castmates, Soapot and Sir Rusty Dutch, for being the best bros a troll could ask for.
Fourth, can I get some karma from my good friend Tug Speedman at the end?
Yes, of course.
Adam, fifth, we have Adam and John.
Can you bring back the taxi call at the end of the show, or is that done forever?
God, I forgot about that.
Let's do it today.
I don't have the thingy.
No, it was just you going, taxi!
Oh, you had the poop!
No, you would just call for a taxi.
No, I had the little taxi whistle.
You don't have the taxi whistle?
Well, I have it, but I don't have it handy.
I'll do it.
If I can find it, we'll do it.
Okay.
We'll coordinate, I guess, at the end.
It could be the next show.
We'll do it in the next...
When you hear the whistle, you'll know when to do it.
Six.
John, please unblock me.
I'm sorry about saying you have a thing for Amy.
That's not going to get you unblocked, I don't think.
That's just not enough.
I think what it was, he had some snide comment.
It was a no agenda social and I blocked him.
No, his email is being blocked.
Oh, well, I don't know.
By the way, when your email gets blocked, to get it unblocked is a total pain in the ass.
Oh, really?
Yeah, because then I've got to go to the blacklist, and I've got to dig through it.
Ugh.
Oh, man.
Squirrel, man.
You can't just go to...
I can't whitelist.
It would be nice to whitelist.
I got whitelist, blacklist.
That's too complex.
Jeff Eberens is...
Wait, wait.
I need to give him the...
Oh, ah.
You've got karma.
Karma.
And of course Sir Pafunk of the trolls knows that I dislike that particular jingle because I bitched about it before and people keep calling for it.
So he just wants to annoy me.
So he wants to get him blocked to annoy me.
He says, eh, it's not going to happen.
Jeff Eberens in Cox Creek, Kentucky, 333.
I'm a police officer, currently works in a mid-state department, mid-size department, south of Louisville.
I spent 10 years at LMPD and loved most of it.
I decided to leave due to a lack of trust in the poor leadership in the department and city officials.
I also moved my wife and five kids out of Louisville.
And re-entered the bourbon country of Kentucky, where things are not run by socialist buffoons.
We bought a 20-acre farm and are loving it.
I was hit in the mouth by a friend and co-worker at Bear Knows Pizza in March of 2020.
I've been diligently listening since then.
It felt it was time to donate.
I thoroughly enjoy your model not having traditional sponsors and not beholding to your listeners, only beholding to your listeners who give you the constant feedback.
No jingles are calmer, but I would request that Adam say the name of my pizza place in Louisville, Kentucky, of which I'm a part owner at the Fern Creek location, and ring the bell just once or twice to get everyone's attention.
Is it Beer Nose or Bear Nose?
I think it's Bear Nose, wouldn't you think?
You know what?
For executive producers, I'll give them two reads.
I'm not a dick.
I'm a professional.
I'll do the bell.
Okay.
Go.
Bear Nose Pizza!
Bear Nose Pizza!
I'm doing endorsements now.
He could do it on the local radio station.
Finally a voiceover gig.
Can't believe it.
A voiceover gig.
Finally.
Best regards, it says, from Kentucky Hill Country.
Thank you very much.
James Meyer got in on the action from Akron, Ohio, 333.
With this donation, I have now completed my path to knighthood.
Please dub me Dude Name Jay of the Portage Lakes.
In addition, I am making this donation and executive producership in honor of my fellow attendees at the Northeast Ohio Summer Bash No Agenda Meetup.
Shout-outs to my fellow area dukes and knights who are here with me.
Sir Walkman, Duke of the Buckeye, Dame Ashley, Lady of the Lake, her keeper, Sir Real Estate.
I'd also like to thank my keeper and my producer, Brother, who is watching my kids so I can be at the meetup for this epic donation.
To celebrate, I simply have a bingo boom shakalaka and a song performed by my brother who couldn't be here tonight.
Listen to no agenda in the style of Billy Joel's We Didn't Start the Fire at the End of Show Mix.
Well, that's good.
We received zero end of show mixes.
It doesn't happen often that we don't get a single one.
That's a three-minute one, so it will be the only end of show mix, and it's a good one.
Stay safe.
Stay strong.
We are all in this together.
Stay safe.
Dude named Jay of the Portage Lakes.

You know what's weird?
One of our trucker producers was coming westward from Austin with an 18-wheeler and...
His name is Gregory from Alaska.
And Lori is his wife, Dame Lori, I think.
And he's on his way back to Alaska.
He said, you know, I'm driving.
I'll probably come through one of your places near you.
You want to meet up for a dinner or something.
He said, how about a coffee?
It was really nice.
We had a good time.
Just, you know, sat in a little coffee shop, you know, laughed about stuff, called his wife, you know, talked about Alaska.
Dude, we got to go to Alaska.
But then when we're leaving and we're on the street and I say, all right, man, stay safe.
He goes, Heil Hitler!
I'm like, what the fuck?
There's like a million people around.
What are you doing?
This is like the epitome.
Like, oh, there's two white guys saying Heil Hitler to each other.
No!
No, no, no.
Very bad.
So, John, you've got to stop saying that.
It's like a Pavlovian thing.
People are doing this.
It's not good.
Not good.
Not good.
No, it's no good at all.
It was really bad.
We're actually licensed to parody things like this.
We are.
We're professionals.
Yeah, alright.
Yeah, don't try to copy this.
This is where I am.
I am Scott?
Yes.
Battaglioli.
Battaglioli.
And he's APUS. I'm not sure where.
He's APO. So he's somewhere out in the military.
Or somewhere.
Jingles.
Shapeshifting Jews.
Be afraid you might die.
Hey guys.
Reporting from the Okinawa.
Oh, he's in Okinawa.
No, we can get some story about Okinawa.
We got lots.
We have, I think we have a couple producers in Okinawa.
Okinawa.
Enjoying the sun and fun with my family.
I love what you guys do.
Keep it up.
Making sure some of the other boys in Okinawa listen in.
Keep it up.
Love and light Scott.
I think my grandfather visited Okinawa in 43.
It was a gun in tow.
Well, that's how he got the Japanese machine gun back.
Hey, so what is this be afraid?
Be afraid.
Be very, very afraid.
Yeah, but we don't have a jingle that says that, that I'm aware of.
I don't know of it.
I'll put it in.
I'll just do it.
I can do it.
I can do it.
Be afraid.
You might not.
Perfect.
You've got karma.
Do it live!
So the shape-shifting Jew jingle, which was given to us by a shape-shifting Jew, I believe.
Secret Agent Paul.
Does make us lose listeners.
Somebody sent a note and said, well, I got these guys that finally listen to your show and then you play the shape-shifting Jews.
I'm not listening to these fascists.
You know, this is number one request is Sir Brian of London, who's in Israel.
I mean, the Jews love this as far as I know, but yeah, you're probably right, especially after we just talked about Heil Hitler.
Yeah, that's where it came to mind.
We may get a flag or two.
Neither one of us is a fascist or an anti-Semite or anything of the kind.
And these are producer stuff.
Maybe not.
I don't know.
It's a good point.
Well, we have to consider banning this particular funny jingle.
And we played it for years and years.
I think it wouldn't kill us to ban it.
No.
Dame Swanee from Indianapolis, Indiana, 333.
In the morning to the greatest podcast in the universe, my husband and I continue to sit out on the deck and listen to past and present No Agenda podcasts, relishing in the insight that was offered then and now.
The banter, enthusiasm, freshness, analysis, humor, dashingly good looks, infused into every podcast has truly given us something to look forward to every day.
This is a hagiography right here.
Our only disagreements after 42 years, not a fight, a disagreement.
Our only disagreements after 42 years of marriage are ones concerning which parts of the current show were the best that day.
Woohoo!
Wow.
This is the second installment for my actual dude named Ben who has Adam Curry hair, albeit white, in honor of his 71st birthday.
Sunday.
Of course, this is the most perfect birthday gift that will keep on giving hours of enjoyment.
My dude named Ben is looking forward to his knighthood and receiving the handsome ring, sealing wax, and certificate.
We should wrap this up by the end of the month so he can be freed of his commoner status.
Yes.
Thanks for all your commitment to offering absolutely the greatest podcast in the universe.
Please give everyone a goat karma and words of wisdom from Al Sharpton to talk about the gift that keeps on giving.
Well, yes, we'll do this one for you.
Oops, no, that's not the one I wanted.
We're going to do teleprompter.
Here we go, Al Sharpton.
Thanks to you, Ed.
Is this Crown Hog Day 2?
We are watching, that was Attorney General Eric Holder, ABD, about some Republicans at home are already beating the drums of war.
Today, the Pentagon refuted that claim.
And he said the American people do not want him to, quote, dwindling.
They do not want him dwindling his thumb.
I can't take it anymore.
You've got...
Thank you, Dave Swanee.
Sound like a lovely couple.
Yes, we didn't get the tortisse.
The tortisse in the rice.
Onward with Mike Brewer, I think, in Wattle Park, Australia, South Australia, 23714.
Now, can somebody in the troll room do a calculation?
Because this wasn't adjusted.
Let's see what this is in U.S. dollars.
23714.
See if it gets bumped up.
Let's just see if it gets bumped up to its executive producer.
I do have a note from him, which also came in just before midnight.
This is Australian?
Yeah, it's Australian.
Yeah, Australian, not Canadian.
Australian.
Australian was really low, so this could have hit 300.
Okay, if it hits 300, let's see.
I figured I'd chuck you a portion of the dollery-doo loot I received for my 35th birthday on the 12th.
We should put them on the birthday list.
Mm-hmm.
So he'll be 35 on the 12th, which we just missed.
No jingles, which is good news.
But I'd greatly appreciate some health karma for my Berner Sennenhund puppy, who has to have surgery on the 22nd to remove a lump on his front leg.
Love is lit.
Much respect, Sir Mike, Black Knight.
Did we get any numbers here?
Wow, really not helpful guys.
I think, no, that would be, so you want to know how much 300 Australian dollars would be in US dollars and that comes out to 222.
Oh yeah, so he gets bumped.
He's well bumped, yeah.
He's well-bumped.
Remember that, people.
He's well-bumped, yo.
Sir Mike is well-bumped.
Brian Dennison, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, WTC7, Dr.
Kiki, LGY, F Cancer.
Hey guys, doubling down on my last donation, this time for a little preemptive cancer karma.
Oh, so I hope.
So do we.
If you have the ability, let's go to a directed energy karma focused on the spinal column.
Hell yeah, everybody.
Let's hook Brian up.
Thanks for all you do.
Love is lit.
Oh, and John, please stay safe.
Don't say it.
For that vinegar book.
Shut up already.
It's science.
You've got karma.
David Matthew or David Mathieu?
233 in Clermont, Florida.
In the morning, guys.
Thanks for the outstanding media deconstruction.
The show is continually allowing me to look like the smartest person in the room.
Please de-douche me.
You've been de-douched.
This donation is long overdue.
The purpose of this donation is twofold.
Number one, to repay just some of the value I've received and to wish...
And number two...
To wish Dame Meowdison a happy 33rd trip around the sun.
Yes.
Jingle request.
33 is the magic number.
Biscuit for my birthday.
Love you, mean it.
And some July patriotic karma.
Love you, mean it.
That is from the fist bump jingle.
And some July patriotic karma.
Best wishes.
Dave Mathieu.
Last name pronounced Matthew.
33 That's a magic number There it is It's the magic number They always give me a biscuit on my birthday Beep You've got...
karma.
Sir Charles of the Coin-Operated Laundromat and Dame Courtney of the Import...
Please play a little girl yay and give us some house-selling goat karma.
Oh, yeah, we got all of that.
I got to get you the yay.
Thank you for your courage, Sir Charles of the Coin-Operated Laundromat and Dame Courtney of the Import...
Okay, well, that's very easy.
I'm happy to comply with both your requests.
Here we go.
Yay!
You've got...
Easy peasy.
And last in our list of well-wishers, executive and associate executive producers, Sir Bates, Knight of the 19th Hole.
And he gives us $219.04.
ITM Gents, No Jingles, No Karma.
Thank you.
I donate despite JCD's relentless disparaging of both soccer and golf.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, what's up with that?
What's up with that?
What is next?
Cricket?
I think we both don't like cricket.
The double shot of weekly sanity is the perfect elixir to combat the M5M toxicity.
Love and Lit serbates night of the 19th hole.
Which is the bar, by the way, but okay.
And he says it correctly.
Love and Lit.
Love and Lit is the correct vernacular.
We still don't remember where it came from, but it seems to be catching on.
Love Is Lit is actually winning this battle.
Oh yeah.
Love Is Lit.
And that's it.
Those are executive producers and associate executive producers for episode 1,365 of the No Agenda show.
Thank you.
You're producing.
I mean, it's the time, the talent, the treasure, all of it that goes into it.
It's all on the same level.
We're kicking everybody else's ass with this model because it's fair and it's you and we're making it together.
We're not like...
You know, DJs and VJs.
Oh, let's do podcasts.
No!
You did it.
We started with 20 minutes.
Give me a time code.
Time code.
We started with 20 minutes and no jingles, no nothing.
Everything that is here, you have done.
I'm very appreciative.
And I'm sure other people who are listening to this may want to get in on some of this fun action.
If you'd like to do that and learn how, go to...
We'll be thanking more donors in our second segment.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Order! Order!
Shut up, slave!
Shut up, slave!
I accidentally hit the sword.
Oh.
Put it back.
It's so...
You're going to hurt yourself.
I know!
I'm always playing with the sword.
I like playing with my sword.
Yeah, I got a couple of...
I got a story that you haven't heard.
Okay.
I also...
Okay, I got a couple of things I want to play here, but this is the one...
I'm telling you, nobody's heard this story.
This is another one from World is One, the news.
Kind of a China-hating one-world government operation of some sort.
Wait, a one-world government that hates China?
How does that work?
I've had to think about that myself, and I think that the one-world government, I think it's not all one way of thinking.
I think a lot of them want China out of the one world government or they want to be they don't they're worried about China.
Well, I can this all I can tell you.
But listen to this.
Did you know that Jackie Chan was a communist?
Jackie Chan?
This is a story that you're never going to hear anywhere else.
No, this is good.
This is for Rogan.
Joe's got to know this.
Yeah.
Martial arts legend Jackie Chan is eyeing a new project.
He's auditioning pretty hard for it.
He's dancing in Chinese propaganda videos, singing praises of Xi Jinping.
All for that elusive membership in the Chinese Communist Party.
Jackie Chan has always been a communist sympathizer.
But now he wants to make it official.
There's one problem.
The Chinese people won't accept him.
Our next report tells you why.
1988.
Still early days on Jackie Chan's seemingly endless career.
He comes out with an action comedy flick.
A real stinker called Dragons Forever.
The critics hated it.
But 30 years on, the movie makes perfect sense.
For Jackie Chan, the dragon, he's indeed forever.
He wants to join the Chinese Communist Party.
Bring some Shaolin into dreary old communism.
Might be a shock to Hollywood.
But Chan has always been a loyal party man.
He is a member of the CPPCC. It's an advisory conference where the party puppeteers Chinese celebrities.
Here you see him, arms aloft, mouthing a Chinese propaganda song during the party's centenary event.
China said, dance.
Jackie Chan said, say no more.
Until now, Chan has stopped short of seeking party membership.
After all, he needed work in Hollywood.
But now that pretense has dropped.
Last week, Chan attended a symposium of Chinese film insiders.
They took turns praising Xi Jinping's keynote speech.
Not to be left behind, Chan unleashed the hidden dragon.
I can see the greatness of the CPC, he said.
It will deliver what it says and what it promises in less than 100 years.
I want to become a CPC member, he added.
The propaganda press loved it.
Global Times latched onto the fact that Chan is based out of Hong Kong.
For them this is a sign of changing loyalties.
Wow.
It could also just be complete propaganda from the CPC? Is that it?
Instead of CCP, they say CPC? That's another thing we should mention.
Yeah, what is that?
The official usage, they do it, the Chinese do it, everyone does it.
It's not CCP. It's CPC. And I do it now.
I've decided, okay, I'll go along with this.
It's CPC. Communist Party of China.
Is, um...
Is there a new movie or some entertainment product?
No, I don't know when this switched over.
Hmm.
But I started noticing it from the Chinese NTD and just CGTV, all these Chinese outlets.
I started noticing it about a month ago.
And I started using it.
I saw people like these guys who hate China, the WION operation out of India.
They hate the Chinese and they use it.
And I'm using it now.
And it's CPC and it's the proper way.
The CCP... Chinese Communist Party is not what it is.
It's the Communist Party with the first word being communist, not China, because communist is more important, and China's last as a more humble way of putting it.
But yes, I don't think so.
This Jackie, because Jackie's being rejected because of his association with Hong Kong, even though he was for the crackdown and he was always against the, you know, the guy's a communist.
He's just a Chinese puppet.
And he was shown, they showed visuals of him in these various, you know, massive, the workers of the world unite kind of videos.
We need to burn him!
You seem really upset, it's like it's an old guy.
Alright, alright, he's a communist.
I didn't know it, it's interesting.
I thought it was interesting.
Now, I was floating around NPR, and I got this couple of – there's two economists, one from Cal with an adenoid problem apparently, debating what to do because antitrust laws aren't working.
And this government is going after these tech companies, which I think is highly ironic.
Do you really think they're really going after them?
Or is this the whole point to get a really strong market share by putting regulations and laws in place that only a lot of money can adhere to?
Boom!
So let's take a listen to these two guys going back and forth, and then you'll hear the conclusion they come to, or one of them, the Cal guy, is exactly what you said.
We need regulation.
Regulation leads to exactly what you said.
Only big companies can deal with it because they have the resources to put full-time help meeting these regulations.
That's a classic example.
I think people think they're doing well or doing good, but let's listen to the antitrust one.
Well, it's interesting this idea of what a monopoly is and the idea of consumer harm.
I mean, traditionally in a monopoly, you know, a company corners the market, they jack up the prices, and consumers have nowhere to go.
I mean, that's sort of like the traditional, I think, what people think of when they think of a monopoly.
Companies like Amazon and Facebook don't really impede consumer choice, and they're free.
So, like, is this a monopoly, really?
Are these monopolies?
I prefer the term dominant firm, actually, which is what the Europeans use.
Monopolis makes it seem like there's no other competitors.
So take Amazon.
Well, there's other competitors.
There's other retailers.
So who has a monopoly?
A dominant firm notion they have a great deal of economic power.
That's what it conveys.
And they may face some competitors who are smaller, but they can exclude or raise prices or cause harms.
It's interesting in the Facebook case, you know, the FTC says they have monopoly.
The judge says, well, you really got to make the case here stronger because I read it in the newspapers and everybody says it, but that's not good enough in court.
So this is one of the challenges in antitrust.
So each of these things is tricky, but what I'm trying to do is say, there's a lot of economic power here, whether you call it a monopoly or not for antitrust and legal purposes.
What do we want to do about that?
I have thought about that.
And I know the only thing that I feel is really antitrust is that if I don't have a Facebook account, they should have no business tracking me anywhere.
I think that is antitrust.
And that would be regulated.
It should be, yeah.
That should be regulated.
And that's exactly the conclusion these guys are going to come to.
Listen to part two.
It's not only the question of monopolies, it's the question to what extent the traditional role the competition plays in the marketplace is affected.
So, let's consider a case that is in front of the German code today, because it's very interesting.
It's about the role that Google plays in directing consumers.
The German code is concerned that as Google, for example, moved from searches to providing information on the side...
They might actually be the ultimate person deciding who wins in the marketplace.
But couldn't you argue that if Google started giving us bad answers that we would just switch to another service?
I think that if all the answers are bad, probably eventually you will start to.
But first of all, have you tried to use any other competitors?
I have not.
You have to use Bing.
You know that the most searched word in Bing is Google?
Because people are trying to get out of there as fast as possible, okay?
Whoa, you got butt slammed.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Get me out here.
So I think that they are by far the best.
Okay?
There's no question about it.
I think the story you've told, I agree with you.
Google's invested an enormous amount of money.
They've got by far the best search engine.
And that's competition.
They've succeeded in competition at search.
And what do we want to do from a competition point of view?
We want to make sure that other competitors are not blockaded.
Okay?
We don't break up companies just because they've been successful and powerful.
I think where you want to go is regulate them.
You want to say it's such a powerful, durable monopoly that we want to regulate them.
Oh, yeah.
No, that's what lawmakers want to do.
Lawmakers love regulating.
That's the best.
Yeah.
Hold on.
Just Bing it.
Just Bing it.
I just want everyone to think of the No Agenda show when they hear Bing or Bing it.
Go to bingit.io.
We have our own search engine.
We don't need Google.
Well, the point is that I think this is where it's headed.
When I hear this stuff on NPR, I just think it's a plant.
Just to get it in the minds of the public at large who thinks they're intellectual, and that's why they listen to NPR, and they talk like this at the dinner table.
It was a great piece I heard on the station today.
Um...
Well, this is a beautiful setup.
These are the richest companies, cash-rich companies that we have in the world, perhaps, in the United States.
And when you regulate, then it just has more incentive for more lobbyists to be talking to lawmakers to ease or tighten regulations.
That's what they love.
They love regulation.
They love that.
And the money starts to flow, and there's tons of it.
They know it.
All of these people are corrupt.
I would say pretty much all of them in one form or the other.
And the corruption is very, very far and wide into the Department of Justice.
And I'm proud to share an anonymous note from a criminal defense attorney in Northern Virginia who is representing a couple of the Capitol protesters.
Would you like to hear this?
I'm all ears.
Not only am I representing a couple of capital protesters, I'm also in communication with other defense attorneys who have capital protest clients.
You mentioned the atrocity of these delayed trials.
Did we call it an atrocity?
I just want to make sure.
You were outraged.
Okay.
Especially since the one guy is in solitary confinement, the guy with the horns on his head.
What's wrong with that guy?
Well, our criminal defense attorney wants to give us some context on how awful it really is.
By statute 18 U.S.C. 3161, federal trials must commence within 100 days of arrest, 30 days after arrest to indict, and 70 days after indictment to trial.
We are well past this deadline.
Some attorneys with clients who are not detained have agreed to short delays in their client's best interest, hoping for a better plea offer.
Attorneys with detained clients objected, but the court still gave the government extensions of 30 to 60 days for them to produce discovery and make plea offers before even thinking of setting a trial date.
And now, trial dates are set for the end of this year and beginning of 2022.
The government has consistently justified their delay by relying on, one, the massive amount of discovery they have to comb through and produce, which includes people's Facebook accounts and surveillance video of everybody in the Capitol, two, trying to figure out internally how they're going to handle the cases, and three, the sheer number of cases.
Over 500 people have been arrested so far just for these protest cases.
In an average year, the D.C. federal court handles less than 300, so they'll have nearly triple that amount this year.
Here's an idea.
Why don't they choose to not prosecute some of these cases?
The government continues to act like their hands are tied by the number of cases as if they have no power to do anything about it, which of course is false.
They could decline to prosecute the lower-level trespassers.
I've heard them often called MAGA-tourists.
Or offer them deferred prosecution agreements, dismissing the case after a period of probation.
Yet, we've been told that nobody is getting offered a DPA even though DPAs were offered to rioters in Portland who actually tried to burn down a federal courthouse.
This, of course, stinks to high heaven of political retaliation by the new administration against supporters of the old.
Unfortunately, that is not a sufficient basis in the law for getting a case dismissed.
Um...
Also, the clip from 1363 about the Lego Capitol where the reporter says prosecutors rarely include unimportant info in charging documents.
That's bullshit.
They do it all the time.
And, of course, it turned out that that was not a fully assembled Capitol model in Lego.
It was still in the box.
Still in the box.
So there you go.
That's what's going on with fellow citizens.
Seems to be a pretty shitty deal, if you ask me.
Yeah, play this clip.
This is Biden uses Justice Department.
President Biden has announced the Justice Department will appeal a federal judge's ruling that the DACA program protecting some young immigrants from deportation is illegal.
Biden calls the decision deeply disappointing and says Congress needs to pass permanent protection for so-called DREAMers.
This is on the heels of the government saying, actually mostly the pundits on that stupid station you listen to and some of the other stations that I listen to.
The MSNBC? Stupid station MSNBC. It's redundant.
Which is, oh, finally we got a Justice Department that is not going to be political because Trump tried to use the Justice Department to get his way.
And Trump tried to do this and Trump tried to do that and now it's not going to be that way anymore.
He's not the president's lawyer.
He's the country's lawyer.
Boom.
You're saying boom a lot.
I've said it twice, but I'm not going to say it again.
But it's because you nailed it.
That's why I said boom.
Sorry, I said it a third time.
The point is that, did we all forget about, you know, and it goes on to say Biden is not using the government for anything nefarious.
He's just a good guy.
Trump is the only one who ever did anything like that.
So we all forgot about Lois Lerner.
Yeah, please.
Yeah.
And the dude named Ben and all the rest of the bull crap that's been going on and now we have him using his Justice Department to back up the DACA thing.
He's ordering the Justice Department to do this.
Yeah.
Well, the FBI is also part of the Justice Department.
What we've learned now is the FBI had confidential informants on January 6th.
And maybe one day we'll find out what they were doing, if they were involved in some instigation or not.
Twelve confidential informants were working with the FBI in the so-called plot to kidnap Governor Whitmer, of which only six non-confidential informants were arrested.
So twice the amount in that group.
I don't know how many other people got away, which to me feels like some kind of setup or maybe a little bit of an attention strategy to get people worried about the DVEs, the domestic violent extremists, before January 6th.
And now the purge must continue.
I do what I always do when I see someone arrested by the FBI specifically.
We learned 10 years ago that they had at least a six-week cycle.
Every six weeks, they've got to arrest some idiot, low IQ, because they've hyped him up to blow something up.
It probably would never have happened if they hadn't gotten involved and psyched him out.
So now they have, and this is in Napa County, they have these two domestic violent extremists.
I have a 40 second report.
I think you have another one.
I want to hear both.
And the breaking news is out of Sacramento tonight, where we are learning now that two men have been indicted.
They're accused of conspiring to attack the Democratic headquarters in Sacramento.
The FBI says those two men, Ian Rogers and Jared Copeland, have been arrested on charges of planning the attack.
Copeland was arrested yesterday and Rogers was arrested in January and charged in federal court with stockpiling illegal weapons.
According to the FBI, the pair plan to use some kind of incendiary device in that attack.
The FBI released a statement tonight saying our highest priority has remained preventing terrorist attacks before they occur, including homegrown plots from domestic violent extremists.
So, branding them as domestic violent extremists.
Now, I pulled the affidavit.
I'm thinking maybe, because you seem to have a longer clip here, maybe you should listen to what NPR said about it.
Yeah, this is NPR, which I think covered it pretty well, and they did a better job of covering up the FBI Association, which may or may not exist, but the FBI is brought into it at the very end.
Two men have been arrested in California and charged with planning to bob in the Democratic headquarters in Sacramento.
Prosecutors describe the alleged plot as domestic terrorism.
NPR justice correspondent Ryan Lucas reports.
As federal prosecutors tell it, Ian Rogers and Jared Copeland were not happy about Donald Trump's election loss to Joe Biden.
And so in late November of last year, prosecutors say the two men began plotting to attack Democratic targets in California.
Text messages cited in the indictment provide details of those alleged conversations, including one in which Rogers writes, quote, I think right now we attack Democrats, their offices, etc., Molotov cocktails and gasoline.
I think it's got to be taken very seriously.
Greg Erie is a former FBI agent who led the Bureau's domestic terrorism section.
We're seeing usually what's called the tip of the iceberg in the indictment.
That's not all the information, but the arrest means that it was done in order to foil an imminent attack.
Court papers say Rogers and Copeland ultimately settled on a target, the California State Democratic Headquarters in Sacramento.
The two continued to discuss the plan into the new year, when on January 6th, a mob of Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., an attack that prosecutors say inspired Copeland.
He texted Rogers in all caps, REVOLUTION. Five days later, Rogers messaged Copeland that they should hit the state's Democratic headquarters first, and then maybe Twitter and Facebook.
Copeland replied, quote, I agree, plan attack.
Another text read that after Biden was inaugurated on January 20th, quote, we go to war.
Before that came to pass, Napa County Sheriff's deputies arrested Rogers.
They seized between 45 and 50 guns, 15,000 rounds of ammunition, and five pipe bombs from his home and business.
Copeland, meanwhile, was arrested this week by FBI agents.
Both men face one count of conspiracy to destroy a building.
Rogers also faces firearms and explosives charges, while Copeland is facing an obstruction of justice charge.
This is very, very overhyped.
I read the affidavit submitted by the FBI special agents.
Always the same.
They say the same stuff.
So they had these guys on their radar or someone ratted on them.
They didn't know any of this until they got the warrants and they busted in and they seized their text messages.
So everything you just heard, the FBI did not know until the arrest.
That's very interesting to me.
And it's literally two doofuses going like, yeah man, we should really think about, they didn't mention this in the report, we gotta go get some face and bird, we gotta attack Twitter and Facebook.
And the only thing that the probable cause is based on is the following.
I submit there's probable cause to believe that Ian Rogers knownly possessed an unregistered destructive device in violation of 26 U.S. code.
So that's the only thing.
What else did they have?
Well, a lot of hyperbole.
A lot of dumb shit talk on text messages.
Even in the affidavit, it says here, they seize a total of...
Oh yeah, here it is.
On January 15th, special investigations, FBI executed a search warrant.
Office found a large gun safe.
Woo!
A large gun safe.
Dude, there was a large gun safe in this house when we bought it.
I mean, it's gone, unfortunately.
Was there?
Yeah, it was beautiful.
Did he take it out or did you get to keep it?
No, I didn't get to keep it.
but he took it with him.
Inside the safe, officers recovered several guns and five pipe bombs.
By the way, these are little tiny pipe bombs.
Not saying that's a good thing to do, but they also identified other materials that could be used to manufacture destructive devices, including black powder pipes and caps and manuals, including the Anarchist Cookbook, the U.S. Army Improvised Munitions Handbook, and Homemade C4, a Recipe for the U.S. Army Improvised Munitions Handbook, and Homemade C4, a Recipe And they seized a total of 49 firearms.
Now, there was reports about machine guns.
I don't have the report, unfortunately.
I hoped it would have been in the NPR. That turns out to be a kit-built replica MG42 belt-fed machine gun, appearing to be capable of firing automatic.
And a firearms expert is examining those weapons to determine if they are machine guns.
Well, if you look up the MG42 belt-fed, it's a very popular rifle that looks really scary.
And I doubt that it was switched to fully automatic.
It's a kit.
Yeah, I'm sure it wasn't.
In a post-interview, Rogers admitted he had built the pipe bombs, but those were for entertainment purposes only.
But now...
There are people that go up and blow stuff up in the woods or in the desert, usually the desert.
Yeah, and it was all, he had all, you know, just regular black gunpowder, everything by legally.
But now we see, aha!
Officers found, that's the allegations we have.
Something that, a replica machine gun that might have been enabled to, for automatic fire, and some, kind of like one finger long pipe bombs that the guy said were for entertainment purposes.
And along with two copies of U.S. Army Special Forces Guide to Unconventional Warfare and a U.S. Army Guerrilla Warfare Handbook.
Oh, yeah.
Because if you want to fight the government, you've got to use their tactics.
They'll never figure it out.
Officers also found the following sticker on Roger's vehicle.
Oh no, a sticker.
Yeah, it's a Roman numeral three with stars in a circle around it.
And the FBI agent says, I know from my training and experience and my discussions with other agents experienced in domestic terrorism investigations, this sticker is commonly used by the so-called three percenters, people who ascribe to extreme anti-government pro-gun beliefs.
I've never heard this.
The use of 3% is a reference to the belief that only 3% of the American colonists fought against the British during the American Revolution.
That's dangerous.
It's like a 1619 project, a little rewriting of everything.
And this is my favorite.
I didn't get a clip of it, but they were showing this.
The affidavit has pictures, by the way.
They were showing this picture.
Officers also found the white privilege card depicted below.
I know that many extreme anti-government militias are populated by white supremacists.
I believe the statement trumps everything in the numbers 0045 repeated four times to make it look like a credit card number.
I reference this to Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States.
So this is a credit card, the white privilege card.
It looks just like a credit card.
Yeah, it's clearly a joke.
Do you know where this comes from?
This is a premium sold by the Hodge twins.
Those two black guys.
Oh, the two black guys?
Yeah!
This is their premium.
They sell this.
These guys bought it because they're such hateful white supremacist domestic violent extremists.
This is how stupid this is.
So what happened, based on this information, and the way they reacted to it, is that one of these two doofuses, and we'll use the term correctly, who were just talking big game, just like the same as it was during the terror, you know, the dumb shits down in Florida that got arrested.
Uh, is that these two guys, one of the, one of these two guys was so annoying to one of their friends or wives if they're married, I don't know.
They gave them up.
Yeah, gave them up and said, hey, you guys should be on the lookout for these two guys.
They want to blow down, they want to blow up the Capitol or they'll just put it, you can do this.
This is a turning in your neighbor concept.
The FBI did ask for people to do that.
Of course they did.
Yeah.
If you see something, say something.
Uh, so somebody saw something and they said something and the FBI put this case together based on the couple of texts.
You know, let's do it now and they don't do shit.
They didn't do Jack!
Unbelievable, isn't it?
They could have done a better job of setting him up.
I mean, the text messages...
I think this was lame.
Yeah, the text messages definitely are not a good look, but they didn't have any of that up front, so, okay, great.
And it's just two guys talking about, yeah, we should go get the face and the bird.
We'll go after them.
Yeah, we'd blow up some Democrats.
Oh, jeez.
Okay.
In California, of all places.
Well, you don't have to look far, I guess.
You just start shooting randomly.
Boom, you're there.
Before...
Man, we are going to run late today, but...
I wanted to bring up South Africa because I've done a real deep dive into what's going on.
I have one clip to play.
It might be a good intro.
Excellent.
And it is a South African run.
And this is actually a clip because mainstream media is not doing a very good job on this.
Not really.
No.
Not really.
So Debbie, this is not the rundown at all.
I may have that.
But this is a story that when it's played...
I'm thinking the mainstream media is really blowing it.
This was caught on WION again.
This was following it.
And this was, I think, could be used.
This is the great SA story, WION. This is a terrific story that any of the mainstream could have used.
And I've not seen it anywhere about the woman who throws her baby...
Out of the burning buildings, because there are places on fire in South Africa, and a bunch of people catch it.
Two-year-olds.
They have shown this footage.
I've seen the footage.
Have you seen it on mainstream?
Yeah, CNN, but maybe only once.
Well, here's the way the report should have been done.
They dramatized it.
It's somewhat full of shit.
I'll tell you the reason it was full of shit.
But it's just a great, I thought, a great human interest story if you want to play it.
I mean, as television executives, I would agree that we needed some human interest angle to this.
And the only problem was the shot is too far away.
You can't really see.
You don't know if the people are catching the kid.
Well, you do see her throw the baby.
Yeah, throw the baby.
And then they interviewed the woman afterwards, and she gave the rationale for throwing the baby.
And the baby, a two-year-old, is on her shoulders, just calm as a cucumber, as they're interviewing the woman.
The kid doesn't care.
I guess that was kind of fun.
She'll probably be in the X game someday, I'm guessing.
Yeah.
From this experience.
And it's just like...
The mainstream just blew it.
Because this is a great story.
Let's play this.
And the situation in South Africa is getting tense.
The looters and rioters have become a threat to the lives of common people.
We bring you a mother's nightmare from the city of Durban.
A residential building caught fire after rioters looted and burned the shops below.
People residing on the top floors couldn't see the fire but could smell the smoke engulfing the building.
And as people started to...
Raised out of the building, a 26-year-old mother was left with no choice but to throw her 2-year-old in the arms of strangers from their 16th floor apartment.
No!
They kept screaming, throw her.
They wanted to help me.
A woman came close, but I didn't trust her because she was alone.
So they all started to come together until there was a lot of people and I threw her.
I was afraid.
After throwing her, I held my head in shock, but fortunately they caught her.
People escaped through gaps and partitions with the exterior walls.
They were forced to use ladders and makeshift slides to get to the street level.
The incident took place amid widespread violence in parts of South Africa.
The riots have already killed more than 70 people.
Yeah, well, yes, I agree.
They should have done that because they forgot to distract us from what's really going on, and I think the word is getting out.
People are starting to see what's happening.
By the way, the sweetening with the screaming people...
Dynamite.
And that was W-I-O-N? Yeah.
Those guys are doing something good.
Now, there's a large Indian contingent that lives in Durban, and this is Zulu territory.
And you need to understand that South Africa is tribal, very tribal.
And the Zulus, just think of Chakazulu, They get pretty riled up and pissed off.
And so what really sparked all of this was their fellow Zuluite, Jacob Zuma, former president, very corrupt, getting 15 months, by the way, was his sentence.
Like, whoa!
And so they just got super pissed off.
Looting, shooting, people being beaten to death is not uncommon in South Africa at all.
This is probably double what it typically is.
Before I get into the two clips I brought, this is the NBC Nightly News version of what's going on.
Tonight, thousands of soldiers out on the streets in response to these stunning images that have shocked South Africans.
Looting on a massive scale.
Windows smashed.
Hundreds of stores set on fire.
Police often outnumbered and overwhelmed.
A desperate scene at this building torched by rioters.
A mother threw her toddler into the safe arms of a crowd below.
More than 200 have died.
Ten killed in a stampede during looting at this supermarket.
Nothing in here has been destroyed.
There is nothing left to salvage except for a few shelves, but no goods.
The violence was sparked by the arrest of former President Jacob Zuma, under investigation for corruption and fraud, but still popular among many poor South Africans.
The instigators want to spread instability in the country.
Half of South Africans live below the poverty line.
Today they're left with even less, waiting hours in line for food, fuel and medicine.
This pharmacist's business was looted.
He told me he lost everything and is not sure how he'll feed his family.
Like, what's left?
Nothing.
Nothing.
Stop.
All the stop.
Computers.
Stop.
Late tonight, the president called the violence a coordinated, deliberate attack intended to destabilize the country and vowed to bring those responsible to justice.
So there is some truth to this, I believe, because now the narrative has been launched, I think, probably because Tucker Carlson highlighted a report from Revolver News, which is a pretty good rundown on, in fact, the title is South Africa, The First Country Built on Critical Race Theory Officially Implodes.
And there's definitely something to this.
Knowing that we had apartheid that officially ended in, I think, 94.
We've had so much involvement from the Western world.
Like, oh my God, it's so racist there.
Racist, racist, racist.
And it's actually, it is very racist in South Africa.
But everybody's racist.
No one gets along.
It's not a rainbow coalition.
And then things flipped.
And then with Zuma...
It became, oh, well, the article says, like, critical race theory, but I would say Black Lives Matter, Inc.
People were told to go take farms that were owned and run by white people and remove them.
A lot of white people, farmers, have been killed.
And then subsequently, you got black ownership of farms who didn't farm or didn't know what they were doing.
So food shortages started taking place.
But this whole preferential treatment, particularly by Jacob Zuma, the former president, brought in a lot of incompetence.
So he – because you needed to have black workers.
You couldn't have white workers regardless of anyone's skill.
And so according to Revolver News – and they do a good job of explaining – that's why the electric company sucks because no one knows how to run and no one knows what they're doing.
Zuma was putting family members in very high spots, so the corruption was out of control.
And this was also done in Zimbabwe.
Before all of this happened in South Africa, and now it's so bad that Zimbabwe is going to start, this is how far they've come, will start paying reparations to white farmers whose farms were taken away and helped starve the country and ruin their monetary system.
The person who knows a lot about this, who was born there, is Lara Logan.
Laura Logan has no agenda is her show.
And despite the obvious issue we've worked out with her, I like what she does.
And she weighed in on this and corroborates a lot.
Stores are burning down.
There's no milk.
There's no bread.
And people are not allowed to have any fuel for their cars.
So this is a particularly distressing situation for many, many people there with so many killed at this point.
People are asking, where's the police?
Where is the army?
And while they are going to deploy more soldiers, there are very worrying reports now of this becoming of a racial element being introduced into this.
There's an Indian community that live just outside of Durban, where Jacob Zuma is from.
And there have been a number of reports that are fanning the flames of racial tension and violence there.
And what you start to see is some of the echoes of, you know, critical waste theory and the woke agenda that have proliferated all over the world.
We're paying the price now for big tech and Facebook and all these people who are able to really set the agenda.
In any country that they want and where people can spread this message and spread this device And South Africa is no exception.
Obama's ambassador to South Africa was a man called Patrick Gaspard.
And when Obama's term ended and he came home, he became the president of the Open Society Foundation.
George Soros' foundation.
Yeah, I know.
But when he was in South Africa, he was very vocal about reparations.
He was one of the people who was pushing and encouraging publicly for the South African government to take land away from white people, particularly white farmers, of course.
30,000 white farms in South Africa feed those people, and they feed other people across Southern Africa.
And so when you take that land away and it's not used to farm anymore, you starve your people.
People saw that in neighboring Zimbabwe.
So there is a radical element at play here and nobody can tell at this point.
It's impossible to say how much this is involved.
But South African media is very quickly turned to looking at who's driving this and whether there are other forces.
And you know, there are eerily similar echoes here.
There's a whole ideology that goes along with open society and all these affinity groups about turning a moment into a mass movement or a revolution.
Black Lives Matter, Inc.
riots, anybody?
Well, I got an interesting clip.
This is the South African update from NPR. And then I have the Marxist part of it.
But listen to this and just listen to the way it's presented to us.
Calm seems to have returned to South Africa after a week of deadly unrest triggered by the imprisonment of former President Jacob Zuma.
But Ishma Fundikwa reports the peace could be temporary as Zuma supporters demand his immediate release.
The list of demands read by Papano Pasha, a member of the pro-Zuma faction of the ruling African National Congress Party, goes beyond that of the former president's release.
The mines and key strategic industries and means of production must be nationalized.
The South African Reserve Bank must be nationalized without delay.
The call for Zoomers release comes as citizens deal with a lack of shops and services following the looting and torching of neighborhood business centers.
Residents are also volunteering their labor to help clear the debris of many damaged buildings.
For NPR News, I am Ishma Fundikwa in Harare.
Wait a minute.
All of a sudden there was a bit in there and it talked about the bank had to be nationalized?
Right in the middle of that report.
It just popped up for nobody.
It was weird.
It was totally weird.
It was like it was part of the bit, but now I clipped it as an ISO, an eight-second ISO. This is the South African.
This is a Marxist overlay.
They talk about means of production, nationalizing everything.
This sounds like a Venezuela idea, and it was right in the middle of this NPR report.
Let's play it.
It's hard to understand.
Let me start over again.
I'm really focused.
The mines and key strategic industries and means of production must be nationalized.
The South African Reserve Bank must be nationalized without delay.
The mines and something must be nationalized.
And the bank, I think.
I thought she said the bank.
And the banks, the national banks must be nationalized.
It all must be nationalized.
What has this got to do with any of this reporting?
Play it one more time.
It's very short.
It's so weird that it just pops in the middle there.
Very short.
Oh, sorry.
The mines and key strategic industries and means of production must be nationalized.
The South African Reserve Bank must be nationalized without delay.
Without delay was the last thing she said.
Wait, you know what?
I think we need to...
Why is this...
We need to listen to it in context again.
Hold on.
I need to pull the context of...
National Congress Party.
Okay, hold on.
Let's start with this guy.
The list of demands read by Papano Pasha, a member of the prosumer faction of the ruling African National Congress Party.
Okay, so it's a representative from the ANC... Zulu, Zulu Nation, who read this?
African National Congress, yeah.
Goes beyond that of the former president's release.
The mines and key strategic industries and means of production must be nationalized.
The South African Reserve Bank must be nationalized without delay.
Oh, there you go.
So it's total Marxist.
Can I point out?
That Durban, this Zulu tribal area, just putting it that way, that's where the Gupta family settled.
And this is the large Indian contingent, Gupta, completely corrupt, in bed with Zuma on all kinds of shenanigans, even ran the PR firm, or hired the PR firm for Zuma himself, I think.
Yes, the Guptas are notorious.
WION covers them with another whole report I didn't clip.
And they go on and on about these.
These are the bad actors and they're Indians.
And so people, you know, think that all Indians are bad because of the Guptas.
Well, let's put these two things together.
One, we have Marxist messaging.
Two, we have Indian hate.
China, anybody?
I mean, China's on the side of Pakistan in the Kashmir.
China's all in with Pakistan.
They hate India.
And the Indians hate them.
Yeah.
And so does WION, which I think accounts for that.
But the Chinese are somehow involved and they're either creating this problem and they're going to march in and fix things.
And the Marxist messaging is going on.
You had in the last clip from the last, you know, the last when the guy says kill all whites, kill all Indians.
It was a Marxist messaging guy.
And this girl is like a just straight up Marxist.
This is a communist takeover.
Mark Pence, a YouTuber who I sometimes watch, he's from South Africa, white guy from South Africa, has been out of the country, I think, for 15 or 16 years.
His parents are still there.
He has family there.
And he said, I had to leave during Zuma.
He hates the country.
He never talks about it on his YouTube channel.
YouTube shows.
He says it's the most racist country on earth.
Everybody's racist.
Everybody hates each other.
It has not worked.
He even said the colors of South Africa are brown, black, and white.
He says that is not a rainbow.
That's the literal color of shit.
So the guy really, really hates his homeland.
But he still has a lot of contact with people.
And he played this voicemail Because, you know, everyone has their own private security.
There really is no police or army doing anything, as far as any reports I've seen.
And so, you know, his friends, he knows, they hired as many security guards as they could.
They had, like, I think he had 20 or 30.
But then something odd showed up.
So the information flow has been coming in fast and furious during this time.
I'm going to play you a couple of small clips here.
I'm not going to play all of them.
I don't want to, you know, give away anyone's identity or anything like that, but I'm just going to play a couple of things to give you an idea about what's going on.
I've also got a couple of messages on here.
here so i'm going to start by playing a little clip for you here from durban and durban is in kwaZulu-Natal where this all kicked off by the way durban is probably the it's kind of like the florida i guess of south africa it's the tropical beach you know place it's it's a really nice place to go it's got a massive indian majority uh diaspora that's where all the indians are i should say let's take a listen oh i'm from durban And you don't know the situation here.
They burnt every factory that supplies food.
Every food factory, every chemical factory.
They tried to, they're aiming and they're still literally aiming.
I'll give you an instance of somebody who contracts for Macro in Springfield.
So Macro in Springfield tells the security company that, listen here, you, any amount of money, but just, we don't care what the price, but you get as many guards as possible here.
Put as many guards as possible.
So you put 30 armed, fully armed security.
When the guys came, they came in 60 armored vehicles, AK-47s and everything, and they told the guys, listen, you move from here or you die.
So they cleared out every bit of police and security in the area.
This is strategically planned.
It is not normal shit.
And this is not the government with 60 armored vehicles and AK-47s, somebody else.
So there's something going on that is messed up.
Yeah, it's a communist revolution.
But spurred on, well, a note from one of our producers, to understand what's going on in South Africa and why it's different from the CRT, critical race theory, nonsense in America, you need to look at the history of intelligence networks and covert operations in Africa.
A good point of entry is this clandestine world, and he has a link to an expose about the WWF, the World Wildlife Fund, started by Prince Bernard, also the founder of the Bilderberg Group.
It explores the founding of WWF, the people involved, how they use this NGO to support paramilitary operations that run destabilization campaigns all over Africa to fight against groups who are trying to end the exploitation of their people and their nation's national resources by powerful interest groups.
And I have no reason to not believe that that's exactly, or that's a big part of what's going on, or this has been going on for a long time.
Or what you just said.
Well, it's another China link.
What is the logo of the WWF? A freaking panda?
It's a panda.
It's true.
Okay, so there's my China link.
But even our producers have family there.
His brother-in-law stuck in the house for six days.
They live in a gated community, do not have security surrounding the residential area.
Neighbors are volunteering to watch the gates.
They're all armed.
People are not going to work because of the riots and the killings.
They're afraid their water will soon turn off, run out.
As you know, South Africa's water situation has been atrocious.
They've been running out for years.
They've been keeping buckets of water in their house just in case.
The grocery stores have either been looted or closed, and his family is running low on food.
As they go shopping for groceries frequently, they do not stash food for long.
Today, they waited in line at one grocery store for nine hours.
The store was open for limited hours, but only selling bread and milk because of limited supply and emergency shipments.
His brother and mom didn't even get to the front of the line in time before the store closed.
Um...
So...
A communist takeover?
Who knows who's running it?
Or maybe under the guise of racial equality?
I think that this is a model.
Well, it's working, and it's a place you don't want to be.
No, but we're a long way off here in the United States from that.
I mean...
This has taken quite a number of years.
Well, you are.
I'm sorry.
You live in the Zulu nation of California.
True.
I didn't consider that.
Sorry.
Well, that's a good...
That's uplifting.
I think it's time for a break.
I think we should take one.
I'm going to show my support by donating to no agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on the agenda in the morning.
And we do have a few people to thank for show 1365.
1365.
Including, who we got at the top of the list, we've got Jamil Bokari.
Jamil Bokari at $199.69.
Aaron Farrell in Wadsworth, Illinois, 111.11.
Mark Fiore, 100.33.
Sir Robert Smiley in Holland, Pennsylvania, and he comes in with 100.
Scott Smith is 100 in Noblesville, Indiana.
Arnie Carlson?
Arn?
Arn?
Arnie?
It's like A-R-N-E, isn't that Arnie?
Arnie?
It could be Arn or Arnie, depends on, you know, it's probably Arnie.
I think it's Arnie, it makes sense.
Yeah, Scott of the Tall Corn is in from Davenport, Iowa.
Hold on, hold on, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Arnie, first of all, I'm sorry, I was setting stuff up.
So Robert Smiley becomes a baron, so we need to mention that, he's on the list.
Arnie Carlson, with this donation, the total is $1,500, $998, $4 a week with eight donations.
This should be counted towards Christina's Damehood.
So she, okay, and she's on the list, I guess.
She's on the list?
I guess.
Let me check.
Okay.
Yeah.
Scott of the Tall Corn was there in Davenport.
No, I'm sorry.
Arnie becomes a knight, and the rest is for her accounting.
Got it.
Okay.
Scott of the Tall Corn, Davenport, Iowa.
He gets mentioned a lot in the show, apparently, like three times in a row here.
8008.
Ryan Smith in Raleigh, North Carolina, 7821.
Jonathan Watson in Aurora, Colorado, 77.
He's got something coming up.
I don't know what.
Very Boniface.
Boniface or Boniface.
In Newport News, Virginia.
I would say it's Boniface, but in Newport News it's probably Boniface.
Danny Shaddix, 7140.
Lisa Pyle, 7140.
And Dame Shelley, 7140.
And she's in Bartlett, Tennessee.
Those are our 7140 donors.
They're still coming in.
They're still coming in.
Yeah, that's nice.
Sir Rick in Arlington, Washington, 6996.
He's a regular.
Brian Watson, 6969.
Walden, Walden, Walden.
I'm sorry, Brian Walden, 6969.
Samuel Anonymous in Indianapolis, Indiana, 5940.
Sir Bee Boop, Night of the Frozen Tundra, 5678.
We do have a couple of make goods to read in the note.
Did you notice those?
No, I didn't see any make goods.
On the Eric note, yeah.
No, I saw MIA notes.
Are you looking at the same email I'm looking at?
Why don't you continue and I'll take a look.
I don't think so.
Yeah, the two notes at the bottom.
One may be an MIA, but why would it be an MIA if it's in there?
Tim in Woodstock, Ontario, 5510.
Richard Futter in London, UK, 5510.
5510 from Dean Roker.
Daniel Mariano, 5510.
Madeline Staubach in West Harrison, Indiana, 5033.
Sir Andrew Benz in Imperial, Missouri, 5005.
The following people are $50 donors, name and location.
As I run through them, David Shalona.
Shalona, Shalona, Shalona.
Shalona, Shalona.
You say tomato.
Madisonville, Louisiana.
John Camp in Antlers, Oklahoma.
Kevin O'Brien in Chicago, Illinois.
Jessica Young in Yuba City, California.
Danielle Lawson, I think.
What do you think?
You still there?
Yeah.
I'm doing notes, so I can't think.
Okay, never mind.
Marie Labrouillet in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, 50.
Scott Lavender in Montgomery, Texas.
Eric, these are all 50s.
Eric of...
Howlbama.
Howlbama.
Apparently it's a very southern town in New Jersey named Howl.
There you go.
Sir Jerry Wingenroth and Saugus, he wraps it up for show 1365.
And I do have the MIA notes.
Found them.
This is from Baxter Tidwell.
Retired a few years ago.
Spend my days at CrossFit working on my hobby farm and listen to podcasts.
I also do programming projects since I got my first Radio Shack computer in 1975.
Adam, I'm the dude named Ben who wrote the schema for the podcast 2.0 namespace.
We really appreciate that, Bax.
You know, writing a schema is crap work.
Very much appreciated.
I figured it's time to de-douche and to get knighted all at once.
My friends call me Lord Tidwell, so if it pleases the peerage committee, I would like to be known as Sir Lord Tidwell of the Shire, and a de-doucheing, of course.
You've been de-douched.
I was hit in the mouth of my smoking hot milf, Cynthia, who is celebrating her 50th this weekend with a halfway party.
$49.99 is a penny short, so there's a penny left in the jar for her.
She also needs a de-douchey.
You've been de-douched.
And at the round table, Haggis and Jose Cuervo will take care of that.
Jim Parker also missed him on a previous, or missed his note on a previous show.
Ceremony.
In the morning, I feel it's appropriate that I share a portion of my COVID dividend.
I own a campground.
I raise heritage breed pigs and also breed Hungarian Vizlas puppies.
I'm not familiar with this breed.
Camping?
Yeah, the Vizlas.
Are those big dogs or little dogs?
They're like a racing dog.
Oh.
They've got more hair.
Camping is a beautiful location.
Pasture-raised pork and top-quality bird dogs will always be in demand, but a little COVID-related media hysteria has provided a boost in sales.
Throughout the pandemic, folks have found refuge at my campground, sought out local meat raised under humane conditions, and enjoyed the companionship of my dogs to remain grounded in spite of the daily onslaught by the M5M. And even though it's a little longer, I remember this note, a litter of piglets was born this week, and two of them, stating they don't want to be owned by a douchebag, have decided that their value be returned to the show after they complete their mission in life.
Pigs are unique in that they come into this world, spend most of their time as cute, fun, inquisitive animals, but after a year they become rather one-dimensional, food-driven hogs.
It's almost by mutual agreement that they jump onto the trailer to go to the abattoir.
I hope I haven't breached any protocols, but I have named these two Crackpot and Buzzkill.
The four...
We're pigs!
The $400...
We are pigs.
The $400 represents their value today, but as they spend the next year foraging and enjoying my 100 acres at the base of Pioneer Peak on the banks of Connect River, their value will increase securing my knighthood.
Can you please check out my website to see their progress?
The lambs that were born earlier this spring will be at the mutton stage a year from now and might also join us at the roundtable.
It'll be like a party!
And he wants a de-douching, and that is Jim Parker from knickriverranch.com, and knick is knickriverranch.com.
You've been de-douched.
Where is this area?
I don't know.
Why don't you look at the website?
It's the Pioneer Peak.
Where's Pioneer Peak?
I don't know.
I don't know that either.
I don't know.
I know nothing.
I'm just wondering because we like to get maybe heritage meat.
Yeah.
Some of these animals, especially the pigs when they're grown like this by these individuals who do these heritage breeds, is absolutely fantastic.
It's not quite as good as wild boar, but it's really tasty.
Well, we really appreciate the note and the support.
If you'd like to be a part of this illustrious group, you can support the No Agenda show with your time, your talent, or your treasure.

And we thank you for your courage.
Let's see, we have one...

Oh, here you go.
Nice.
Okay, everybody get ready.

It's always a favorite.
It's at the round table.

For our No Agenda Meetups, I'd like to let you know there's a new service, No Agenda Meetups Map.
It's noagendameetupsmap.com, and it is a map where you can see right there the upcoming meetups.
It's actually quite cool.
It's very nicely put together.
Who put that together?
I should know, shouldn't I? I believe it is.
Hold on.
Gosh.
I know whoever it is.
I know who it is.
I'm sorry?
So whoever it is goes to the No Agenda Meetup site, scrapes the data, and then puts it on a map?
Yeah, I think it's actually done in real time.
Oh, it's done in real time?
So when a thing just pops in there, boom, it shows up?
Yeah, I believe so.
That's very, that's non-trivial.
But this is the beauty of the No Agenda Nation.
It's like when you have the data open, everybody can get to it.
It just works.
Let me see if it's no agenda, meetups, maps, no agenda, meetup, maps, meetup, maps.
Now I can't get it right.
I put it...
Wow.
I'm sucking!
I'm sorry I blew it up.
No agenda...
Alright.
I'll put it in the show notes.
It's the No Agenda Meetups Maps.
I think it actually might be NoAgendaMaps.com?
I don't know what's going on with me today.
No.
I feel like a douchebag.
Alright, no agenda meet-ups.
We have a couple of reports before we get to our list for today.
Fredericksburg, Virginia.
Hey, this is Sir Harry Pilgrim, the Baronet of Massaponics at Six Bears.
Hey, Harry!
Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Hot Packets 2008 tour.

I'm going to pass the mic over to Sir Tom Starkweather.
Hello.
Tom Starkweather here in my hometown.
I had to come down for this wonderful meetup.
Thank you, Harry.
Hi, this is Alex in the morning.
Hey, this is Christopher in the morning.
Hey, I have an idea for your morning zoo.

Hey, this is Rosalyn, originally from the Highlands of Scotland.
Hey, Adam and Sir Rick, Stephen City.
I need you to move the pig a little closer to the bed so I can get better audio.

And it's really beautiful.
And that was the 10th anniversary, by the way.
And I actually met Tom Starkweather 10 years ago in a hotel in Washington, D.C. right after the earthquake.
If you recall, I was in that earthquake.
That's now ten years ago.
And great to hear Sir Harry Pilgrim as well.
Now, the Houston Meetup!
This is Brian at the New Alpha Houston Meetup.
We got lots of people.
And what's this?
We got a Sigma Alpha Rho variant coming in.
Oh no, we're all gonna die!
Hola, soy Rolando.
Thank you for your courage.
Hi, Dame Sarah here in the morning.
In the morning.
In the morning.

All better than mine.
This is Mike D. with 7 Billion Rising, No Agenda Meetup.

This is our first meetup and we've thoroughly enjoyed it.
Good morning to you.
Hey John and Adam, this is Steve in Charlotte.
Shout out to my brother up in Scandinavia.
Locked down and...
In the morning.
Hey, John and Adam.

Proud of it, dammit.
But eventually I'll pay you.

Alright, no agenda meetups.
Was there a woman named Sunny Hill?
I believe so.
Wow, what a DJ name.
Hey everybody, it's Sunny Hill.
WHTZZ100 bringing you all the hits.
It was Steakplant.
Steakplant has emailed me from different names.
I think Steakplant also did the No New Agenda show.net website.
But he's responsible for the map, so I'm not quite sure how to credit him other than that.
Now, on your meetup calendar and on the map, we have the following for today.
The Orange County Meetup Part 3, Attack of the Mutants.
That should be underway as we speak.

If it's not listed, if you can't even find it on the map, then why don't you start one yourself?
It's easy, and it's always just like a party.
Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
You want to be where you want me.
Triggered or held a flame.
You want to be where everybody feels the same.
It's like a party.
Woo!
ISOs, ISOs, ISOs, ISOs.
I have quite a few.
Okay, well shall I do mine first then since I have a couple?
Yeah, do yours.
Okay.
Oops, oops, oops, oops.
Here we go.
Abso-fucking-lutely.
I figured we wouldn't do that one, but I thought it was fun to play.
How about this one?
Getting vaccinated is bipartisan.
Too long.
How about this?
My man girdle is going to pop on this one.
Too long.
Maybe this is the only one I think is a contender.
Oh my goddess, that is so fun to listen to.
I like that one.
It's a little long, but I still like it.
It's pretty good.
What you got?
Okay, let's start with an alphabetical order.
Let's start with block.
Block.
We don't block anything.
I'm keeping that just for, even if it isn't the ISO, I want to keep it.
That's a good one.
Yeah.
What else you got?
We don't block anything.
Mario.
Mario.
Thank you so much for playing my game.
Vaccinated.
Wait, what about terrific?
Oh, terrific.
Sorry.
Terrific.
I think it is terrific.
It's about the show.
I think it's terrific.
Vaccinated.
That's also good.
Well, it's kind of between these two, I would say.
It's either...
I think it is terrific.
Or it's...
Oh my god, that is so fun to listen to.
I think terrific's better than the second one, which is too long.
Yeah, it is too long.
Okay, terrific it is.
I gotta boost it, though.
Yeah, sorry.
No, that's okay.
I usually push it up and compress it a little bit.
That's what I do, man.
That's what I do for the show, man.
Alright.
What do we have to leave everybody with to put them on a happy note for this now almost four-hour show?
Well, I have two things that might work.
Okay.
First of all...
I just want to play this.
Actually, I can play this later.
It's just a very short clip from Brooks saying something stupid, but I can let that slide.
How about the Odd Russia Warning?
This is a PBS clip.
Odd Russia Warning.
There it is.
Okay.
Russia warned today that the U.S. military pullout from Afghanistan is causing chaos across the wider region.
The warning came at a conference in Uzbekistan.
American envoy Zalmay Khalilzad acknowledged that Taliban forces have captured dozens of Afghan districts, and he called for a ceasefire.
The speed with which and the amount of territory that they have acquired is unexpected, but I believe that there is no military solution, despite the progress that the Talibs have made.
For the war to end, there has to be a political agreement.
I've been following this a little bit.
It feels kind of like they're trying to draw Russia in somehow.
Either hand them the baton or let Russia complain about us so we have to stay there.
This has got something to do with Kerry's visit, the three-day visit.
The three-way visit.
So he goes in there and he says, look, the CIA wants us to stay in there because these damn poppies are there.
You know what's going on.
Yeah.
Yes.
And they say, well, what are we supposed to do?
What can we do?
We've got nothing to do with it.
Someone has to operate the base for flying the poppies out.
So how about, you know, or maybe they're looking to do a deal so they can get one of these Russia's satellites, you know, that are still controlled by Russia.
Ah, Tajikistan, maybe.
Yeah, one of those places.
They say, well, we can run the poppies out of there.
How about that for a deal?
And then the counter deal is this, and I think this is going to come up.
Russia would say, Stop blaming us for all the cyber bull crap.
You do that, we're good to go.
It's a tough one because it's on the list for the cyber pandemic, so it's going to be hard.
Yeah, it's not going to be the Russians then.
It's got to be someone else.
The Ukrainians.
Blame it on the Ukrainians.
Or the Iranians because they're the ones who are notorious for doing stuff like this.
Yeah.
Something's up.
You know what's interesting?
Okay, I'll play this out then since it's the Russians and the cyber.
I was wondering about this myself.
The cyber news came and went overnight.
The ransomware came and went overnight.
We know they went dark, they went dark, they went dark.
The one thing I've been looking around for is, okay, so where is the panic and the outrage from the hundreds if not thousands of small businesses whose data and computers are still locked up?
Wouldn't we be hearing about that, or does it not matter?
I mean, nothing until this report.
With crippling ransomware attacks on the rise, most coming from Russia-based groups...
And I understand why I wanted to play it, because there's nothing like a Jeff Begay's...
With crippling ransomware attacks on the rise, most coming from Russia-based groups, the Biden administration tonight is taking action, beefing up its defenses.
Following the pipeline hack that caused a run on gas...
And the attack on the meat processor, JBS. The State Department is offering up to a $10 million cash reward for tips leading to the arrest of those responsible.
The move comes days after our evil.
One of the most notorious ransomware gangs mysteriously went dark, disappearing from the internet, leaving experts to speculate whether the group shut down voluntarily or whether the U.S. government was somehow involved.
He said three weeks ago there would be consequences.
Will there be, sir?
Yes.
Late last week, President Biden vowed to take action against ransomware gangs if President Putin didn't rein them in.
It followed a similar warning last month in Geneva during a meeting between the two men.
We have significant cyber capability.
He knows.
But ransomware attacks have increased 93% over the last year.
And cyber watchers say ransomware thieves won't scare off easily.
It's like whack-a-mole.
They will reappear in another form.
They have a very successful business model.
They've been successful.
They're committing a crime and they're getting away with it.
And so one question is, what happens to all those companies that were attacked by our evil, but that had not paid the ransom before the group went dark?
Well, Nora, that's bad news, too.
The data that they had, still encrypted, still, unfortunately, unusable.
Now, if you already scared off Putin, and you know it was Russia, why the $10 million reward?
That makes no sense.
Excellent, yes.
In the same damn report.
It makes no sense.
In the same damn report.
This is pulling away.
We're pulling away from the Russia thing because part of the quid pro quo.
I like it.
There's a quid pro quo going on, and that's part of it.
