This is your award-winning Give Our Nation Media Assassination, episode 1366.
This is No Agenda.
Embracing the pandemic, and we're broadcasting live from the heart of Texas Hill Country, from the region number six in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where we can happily say that our smoke is choking the East Coast.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
Is this the new slogan out in Cali?
The smoke is choking the east.
Yeah.
Well, that's kind of cool.
We got no smoke here.
Not just the east.
Yeah, I think so.
It's actually Oregon.
Yeah, you know, Oregon, I got a note that Union Pacific is experiencing big delays once again because they had to reroute two train lines because of the fires.
Union Pacific?
Yeah.
Is that weird?
Well, I always think of it as the defunct railway.
Well, the people work there, and people who know people who work there...
I guess it's not defunct.
No, they're doing something.
Doing something for sure.
Oh, man.
What a crazy time, JCD. We're living in crazy times.
Have you ever seen it this crazy on the media in particular?
No.
This rabid, rabid, rabid, I mean.
Just rabid.
Probably not.
No.
What time was it kind of like?
I guess we never had this kind of media, so this is new territory.
Oh, the media's off the rails.
But I mean, just the feedback loop with social media, everything.
It's kind of panicky during the 50s and 60s, I think, when they were having the bomb scares and had the kids jump under desks.
Yeah, the Russians, yeah.
Maybe during the Bay of Pigs where they're going to float up.
That was an actual threat.
That threat was real, man.
Oh yeah, that's a little different.
Not to mention it.
Yeah, just a tad.
Oh, was it though?
You know, I think in 1957 when Sputnik went up, I think there was a panic, a worldwide panic.
Yeah, okay.
That makes sense.
I'm thinking.
Boy, they must be shaking in their boots now that Bezos has gone up.
Holy crap.
Bezos and the big dick.
And by the way, could more people make that joke?
I mean, I think that we identified that very early on.
No, we identified it.
We at least had to be in the forefront.
But we weren't doing like...
People watch the media and you see on some stages they were actually running the Austin Powers clips.
Oh yeah, I know.
Yeah, with the penis rocket going up into space.
I know.
Yeah, with the two balls hanging off of it.
That's crazy.
Did you see it?
Did you watch the launch?
It was early in the morning, and so I... No, I saw the rerun of it.
What's the big deal?
A guy goes up and comes back down wearing a stupid cowboy hat.
What is with the cowboy hat and that old woman?
Okay, well, hold on.
I have some analysis and some clips, because it was on a normal time here, and I watched the whole thing.
It blanketed all three news networks, including the one I watch in the morning, CNBC, because, you know...
They have to kind of do a little bit of work for their news.
Even though you've got to take everything with a grain of salt.
But everyone broke away.
Nothing else is happening but this douche going into space...
And it's like, I don't know, five-year-old me, or however old I was, is saying, I remember my dad getting me up in the middle of the night to see these dudes walk on the moon, and this is supposed to be some big deal?
A very anticlimactic...
And that was in the...
That was 1969.
Yeah, very anticlimactic.
Went up, you know, woo-woo!
You hear a lot of woo-woo-woo!
Woo-woo!
Yeah, and I hope to report...
The only thing I saw also at the end of this escapade while Bezos was wearing that, what is with the cowboy hat?
Well, the launch is in Texas.
He's bald.
You can't walk out.
Oh, yeah.
Kiss-faced cowboy.
No, you get sunburned, so you need to carry the, you need to carry it on.
He thought it looked cool.
I don't know.
Here's the question that I'd like to have at.
What were the medals they got at the end?
This whole thing.
They give themselves medals?
Now you're an official astronaut and you get a certificate, whereas if you flew on Virgin Galactic, you were an astronaut with an asterisk.
Do they get medals too?
Yeah, they got medals, but not really an official one because you weren't in a rocket, you were in a plane.
Hold on.
I'm just asking because I don't have these clips.
Yeah.
So I'm asking questions in advance.
Okay, I don't know the answer about exactly...
It's just a bullshit pin.
It's like a challenge coin.
Yeah, challenge coin.
Okay, there you go.
It's a challenge coin.
Challenge coins mean something, man.
They do, boy, I tell you.
So now let's get...
It means I was there.
So I'm thinking this.
If they gave this bogus pin, medal, certificate, congratulations, a good healthy handshake...
To them, because they made this look, does that mean everybody who spends the money to take this trip is going to get that?
And is this really just a marketing gimmick?
Yes.
To make people think they're going to get a nice little pin that they can wear at the country club?
Yes.
Yes, of course.
Of course.
It's nothing more than that.
It's very, to me, very unimpressive.
But let me just give you an example.
Even Fox.
Fox News.
Oh, stop the presses, everybody!
It's a very exciting feeling.
I briefly thought I heard Jeff Bezos say something about it was very similar to swimming.
When you were weightless, it is very similar to swimming.
And just the view to be so far up where you no longer see county lines and state borders and borders between countries.
I don't see county lines anyway.
County lines and state borders and borders between countries.
Can you shut up for a second and just listen to the fucking clip?
Shut up!
County lines and state borders and borders between countries.
You just see the Earth as one big blue marble in the vastness of space, and here we all are.
And for a brief moment in time, Earth had everybody here except for four people who were up there looking back at all of it.
Well stated.
Blue Origin takes the name because Bezos saw the...
The Blue Planet.
Okay, so...
No, no, no, no.
Be quiet, because I'm going to say exactly what you want to say, but I have another clip that goes with this.
Just take it easy for a second.
That is the incredible lie of this entire mission.
Everyone's talking about the blue marble.
Oh, it's going to be great.
Oh, you see everything.
You see the Earth.
Now, the old lady you're talking about is Wally Funk.
She was supposed to be the first woman in space, but of course men screwed her over and so she never went.
And she's been training to be, or she trained to be an astronaut for decades, never went up, but she was an actual astronaut without getting the pin for going until now.
And even this astronaut who has trained, who's been trained by NASA, here's what she said.
And we went right on up, and I saw darkness.
I thought I was going to see the world, but we weren't quite high enough.
And I felt great.
I felt like I was just laying down.
I was just laying down, and I was going into space.
It was wonderful.
I want to go again fast!
Wait, shit.
Wait a minute.
What happened to this clip?
Did she say?
In the clip, she says, she's supposed to say, I didn't see the Earth that I expected.
She said that?
Okay, I didn't hear it at the beginning.
Well, she said she's expected to see something she didn't see.
There's another lie in there that you completely glossed over.
That's what I was going to bring up.
I'm still on this one.
There's no way.
How could this astronaut think that 63 miles you're going to see that?
How can she even think that?
You have to be on the moon.
I mean, you've got to be like 100,000 miles out before you can see that.
Maybe.
If you don't hit the firmament of the dome.
Let's back up to another bullcrap lie that was in there that you missed.
Everybody's stuck here on Earth except these four people that were up 60 miles up.
What about the space station?
There's a bunch of people on that.
They're not on the Earth either.
Oh, that's only if you believe the space station is up there and the astronauts are not connected to CGI harnesses.
Yeah, okay.
The point is that they're making this out to be something it's not.
So how high would you have to be to see the so-called Earth?
200 miles?
At least 100,000 miles.
Yeah.
No, I think you hit the firmament at 73 miles of the dome.
You can't get through it.
Hey, this is the second half of show stuff.
Just save it.
I'm really all into the firmament theory now.
I don't know this firmament theory, but I'm sure I'll find out.
You'll hear more about it.
Now, Bezos, he's all jitty, but his brother went with him, and then some Dutch kid, the son of a hedge fund manager, 18-year-old kid, who is now the new flying Dutchman.
Forget about Max Verstappen, who is the flying Dutchman of the moment, number 33, kicking ass in Formula One.
But no, this kid has it because his dad has money.
And then Bezos fucked it all up.
I'm sorry.
I've said it twice now.
He messed it up.
And when I heard this, even I cringe.
I'm like, what kind of an idiot are you?
I want to thank every Amazon employee and every Amazon customer because you guys paid for all this.
I heard that, too.
Oh, no.
You did not say that.
Thank you, little people.
You little people.
Thank you, little people.
You little people.
You did it all.
You're the best, little people.
Thank you.
And then, after he goes through all that, guess what else?
The little people of Amazon paid for.
So after returning from his quick trip to space, Jeff Bezos had two other big surprises in store for people today.
He made charitable donations in the amount of $100 million each to two people, two friends of this program that...
Friends!
They are my new rich friends!
The money is to be used as they see fit.
They're CNN political commentator and former special advisor President Obama, Van Jones, and Chef Jose Andres, founder and driving force behind World Central Kitchen, which has served millions of meals to disaster survivors around the globe.
On this program, we've interviewed him from Houston and San Juan, and I can't even remember how many other places, but both of you have done extraordinary work.
We talked to you earlier in the day.
You got the call, was it Saturday?
Now, here's what's interesting.
So, he's not asking them, what are you going to do with this $100 million?
No, no.
How did you get it?
When did you get the winning phone call?
When did the man, the man in the sky, looking down on you on the little earth that you can't leave, when did he bestow these riches upon you, paid for by the little people of Amazon?
Yeah, just walking on a path, and the phone rang, and it's Jeff Bezos saying that he felt that we needed to do something to support people who were trying to bring people together across racial lines, political lines, and he wanted to be supportive.
And then Lauren, this partner, said, we want to give you $100 million to do it, and I literally lost the ability to speak.
I'm sort of burying the lead.
I would, too!
Yeah!
When did you find out, Jeff?
Well, the chef is not so interesting.
When did you find out?
Now...
Let's talk about this a little bit.
What was the point of giving, of all people, the communist, democratic operative, Van Jones, who was pretty much drummed out of one of the administration's Obamas, I think, by the public at large that were aghast at this guy.
What happened here?
Okay, I have three possible solutions, so I'm sure there's more.
One...
Bezos...
I don't know about the chef guy.
Bezos actually saw some of Van Jones' posturing, looking like he wants to...
Remember when he was crying and he doesn't like the divided country?
And so I think it was that emotional appeal that we played clips from was a big deal.
It was like, oh my God, Van Jones.
Oh, he's so sensitive and he really wants to heal the country.
So that's possible that Bezos just thought, this guy's doing some good.
That chef guy's doing food meals.
Give him 100 million eats.
It's possible.
If you gave him $5 million, it would be more than too much.
Two, there's a tax situation that he has to publicly somehow do for something that's happening, and I think that's possible.
And three, there was not enough oxygen in the capsule, and he's losing his mind.
This is the strangest thing about the whole episode, is this $100 million to Van Jones.
Some guy just hanging around.
This is not like the show, The Millionaire, where this is an old black and white show back in the 60s or whenever it was, where some guy was like a H.W. tipped in some guy.
I've got his name.
He could go around and give a million dollars to somebody.
This is $100 million.
This is enough to start a venture capital fund.
Mm-hmm.
This is a lot of money to a stooge like Van Jones.
I don't mean...
How about this?
No sweat off my balls, by the way.
How about this?
No, how about this?
How about this?
This is a perfect...
So, it's no strings attached to spend as you feel fit.
Now, we don't know what the real conversation was because that's the only question we hear.
I was walking along, so I want to give you $100 million and...
Maybe Jones is saying, you know, I've got to pay some people off.
So I really can't do that myself.
So I'm going to give you this $100 million.
You keep $50 for yourself.
And here's the people who each need a million bucks.
Thoughts?
Thank you.
So you're thinking he just hired Van Jones to be a bag man.
What?
Ha!
It's like Van Jones isn't a natural-born bag man.
Hello?
He's a bit Sharpton-y in his ways.
So who is this chef, by the way?
I never heard of this person.
He does some meals for everybody.
I don't know.
Why don't they give the $100 million to Meals on Wheels?
Why don't they give the $100 million to Guide Dogs for the Blind?
Why doesn't he give the $100 million for Press Without Borders or whatever that operation is?
Why doesn't he give $100 million to stimulate Podcasting 2.0?
Why didn't he give $100 million to the No Agenda show?
Well, it's a thought.
I mean, why does he give $100 million?
Instead of giving $20 million to like a bunch of people, like 10 different groups, he gives $100 million to two people.
This just doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
It's the craziest they have ever seen.
So let's just say the chef is just to even it out to make it look really good.
Let's just discard the chef for a moment.
I could be completely wrong.
It could be that he's the spook.
Maybe this is to create a huge political weapon.
Van Jones is a political weapon, well-armed.
Everybody knows it.
Everybody knows that he's got this huge wad of cash.
He can have you killed.
You know, it's possible that Van Jones, because we've watched this guy, he is an operative of some sort, and the chef, they're both fronts for the CIA to pump $200 million back into the CIA's coffer because they're losing their ass on the poppies.
And this whole thing is just a scam.
That's chicken scratch.
$200 million in the poppy game is nothing.
Nobody's going to sneeze at $200 million.
Yeah, but it's not.
Other ways to do that.
Now, maybe if you were a good guy thinking, you know, if I just give someone enough rope to hang themselves, it could be a whole bunch of things.
That's not happening.
But it's interesting for sure.
Dan Jones is going to buy a $20 million home, for starters.
You know what he has?
We both have been around, not rich people, but wealthy people.
You know how they have that sheen, that thing, where you just see it in them, like, okay, the guy's loaded.
You know what I mean?
You know what I mean.
A lot of them do.
Not all of them.
Van Jones has that now.
Take a look.
Within seconds, he's like, that's right.
He's got his hands together, kind of neatly folded.
Yeah.
Good for him.
You know what, Van?
This is a prediction.
It's going to be too far out to be followed up on, but I'm going to predict it anyway.
Van Jones, the kind of guy he is, is going to complain about the $100 million.
It's such a burden.
It's such a burden.
Yes.
Boom.
Boom.
A boom again!
I'm sorry about the booms, but I'll get off the booms after a while.
But you're nailing it, so I have to go boom.
Now, he's going to write a book about, oh, people keep asking me for money, my relatives are coming.
It's like the football players who bitch about the request for the Super Bowl tickets.
You just said something there.
That is not a gift It's like a lottery ticket His life could possibly be ruined Every day, no matter where he goes, someone's going to come and say, pitch him an idea.
His family's calling.
This is a punishment.
This is a punishment.
It is one of the worst things when people, when it's a public thing, you've got a lot of money, and it was free somehow.
The amount of people who come out of the woodwork.
The lottery analogy is another boom.
It's...
It's a perfect analogy.
I can't help it, but that's exactly, oh my god, Van Jones has something coming if he doesn't know it yet.
Oh, man.
Yeah, and he's got relatives.
He's got friends.
They're going to all be hanging around.
Oh, my goodness.
Anyway.
You're the greatest, man.
You're the greatest.
You deserve it.
You deserve the money.
It's Jeff Bezos' money.
He can do with it what he wants.
Yeah.
That's fine by me.
That's fine by me.
Now, just to wrap this up, and then we need to get to our three-by-three.
It is, after all, Thursday.
Elon Musk, as much as I do not like him for personal and global reasons, he is smart.
Yeah.
Next up in the billionaire space race, Elon Musk.
His company, SpaceX, is planning a far more ambitious civilian spaceflight in September.
The Inspiration4 mission will take four civilian passengers into orbit for three full days, 330 miles above the surface of the Earth, five times higher than Bezos or Richard Branson flew, all to raise money and awareness for St.
St. Jude's Children's Hospital.
Woo!
So he's taking the money, not from Amazon, he's taking it from government, but from our taxes, but shh, shh, shh, SpaceX, commercial.
So he's not going to take the money from the little people and give it to Van Jones, which is in effect, it's fungible, so you can look at it that way.
He's saying, no.
I'm going to make you real astronauts.
I think being in orbit is more of an astronautic feat than hitting the firmament there.
And he's giving awareness, which equals money.
It's tax deductible.
If you can do a deal with a non-profit and say, if I do this much promotion, what is that worth to you?
They'll say, that's worth $100,000.
You can deduct that from your income tax, depending on your tax situation.
So, he's smart.
It's great.
It's like, oh, I'm doing it for the kids, man, not for Van Jones.
That was tacked on.
Musk is always the topper.
That was tacked on.
It's fantastic.
He's got the most sensibility.
Yeah, he does today.
Oh!
That's not the one I wanted.
And now it's time for 3x3.
Experiment by JCD. Comparing stories from ABC, CBS, and NBC. The never-ending 3x3.
Ladies and gentlemen, he's watched the news so you don't have to.
What's going on in the big three networks here in the United States this morning?
Johnny, your 3x3 report.
And he's getting the 3x3 report.
His notes somehow were left back in the office.
And he's back now on the mic.
Here he is.
He's stepping up to the plate.
Back to pocket.
You like my baseball announcer?
There's a couple things I've concluded.
Let's start with CBS. Mm-hmm.
They were doing a special on farming with the Veterans Farming, Farmer Reserve, some program.
The Veterans Former Reserve Program, and it was on the Arcadia Farm, and they had these veterans, they've had 125 of them so far, that go on the farm and they learn how to farm because they're, I don't know, their life's ruined and now it's come back to life, and then they...
The farm is...
It was kind of a sappy story.
It was funny, sappy, sweet, but it was like, you know, it seemed like a plug for the Arcadia farm someplace back east.
But it was a good, you know, it was at least there was some interesting information.
It was substantive.
And then the Arcadian Farm puts the farmer's market in food deserts for the poor.
They sell fresh carrots to people that don't know what a carrot is.
Everybody knows what a carrot is.
As it seems that they don't.
I go over to ABC. Now they got ABC's Deals and Steals.
Deals and Steals.
ABC, which used to be really the one that was heavy with the...
Celebrity news has got now mostly heavy with stuff they're selling.
Like a cheap website.
It's like a home shopping network.
Really?
That's interesting.
I mean, doing that around Christmas time is typical.
And they had Michael Strahan selling housewares.
Let's have the big ex-footballer guy.
Let's have him do housewares.
That's a good one.
And by the way, while you're watching this segment, make sure to have your phone out so you can get the QR code off the screen.
That does work.
Yeah, well...
I've tried it.
So that's ABC's been doing a lot of that stuff.
So I switch over to NBC, and NBC has become really a third-rate operation in almost every way imaginable.
And on these morning shows, it's the big celebrity bullcrap show.
A big special on Woodstock 99.
Carson Daly talking about Woodstock 99.
New documentary.
I was there.
I was there.
It was horrible.
Woodstock 99?
Yes, I was at Woodstock 99.
What was horrible about it?
Tell me what was horrible about it, because I'm going to tell you what was horrible about it.
It was exactly like the original Woodstock.
There were no toilets.
It was mud everywhere.
It was a mess.
There was no place to stay.
The roads were blocked for a day.
It was horrible.
That's not the reason.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Too many white men.
Only two female performers.
Oh, brother.
Yeah?
Wow.
And so then they switch to that to some John Stamos.
They bring him on to talk about his favorite quote about how you should always go forward in life.
And then they kind of drifted off.
I couldn't take it anymore.
NBC is just the worst.
Well, it makes sense then that this is the Today Show?
Yeah.
Headline.
Today Show ratings lowest in 30 years.
Yeah, that doesn't surprise me.
They used to have six, seven million viewers.
They're woke.
They're down to three.
They're woke and sick, and they're all celebrity-oriented, and they got no news.
It's just a...
It's terrible.
The NBC people should all be fired.
They should just...
They should wipe the...
Everyone that's on that show should be wiped out.
What are you suggesting?
They should replace them all.
Your words are violent.
And definitely get the producers out.
Fire them for sure.
The woke producers of the NBC Today show have got to go.
The whole show could never recover from Matt Lauer.
They should have gotten rid of everybody then.
Yes, it was a poison.
They were all complicit.
They all knew about it.
The toxicity is there.
I'm sure people go in and they look at the doors and go, I've got to go into that building now.
I have to be someone completely different from who I am.
Every move is watched.
It's an insincere operation.
They should dump the whole thing and revamp it from scratch.
Wow.
Okay, well, that was it, huh?
There's your 3x3.
Nothing of any import to anybody in the world.
No, I would say CBS still has the best show.
You know, Sir Gene stayed over, what did he say, Monday night?
No, Tuesday night, he came out, you know, the big trek, he had to bring his passport to come out to the hill country, he stayed overnight.
And this is just something I wanted to share with you.
I wish 10-year-old Adam could have seen what happened.
So we're sitting on the porch and he's a space nut.
Gene is a space nut.
He's always sending me videos of stuff.
And so I'm saying, you know, I'm not so sure.
They only got up 63 miles.
What's the big deal?
We had that phony baloney moon landing.
And we all know they couldn't get past the firmament in the dome.
And so Gene is doing his typical thing, convincing me with logic and math.
And I say, you know, I'm convinced now.
I know for sure, Gene, you are my handler.
And your whole existence around me is to ensure that I still have some inkling of belief in the moon landing in space.
At that moment, John?
His watch rings.
He answers it and some chick starts yapping at him in Russian.
Just imagine if I was 10 years old and that happened.
I had to stop for a second.
Like, holy crap, they're calling you right away.
Do I have to turn the fan off so they can hear better?
It's unbelievable.
Who's he handling you for?
The FSB? I don't know.
There's a lot of competing forces.
For my time.
There's a lot of intelligence agencies who want to control me, John.
Come on.
Everyone's a suspect.
I guess so, because they're definitely focusing on you because I have no evidence that anybody cares about anything I do.
Alright, let's go around the world first for a second, because it's inevitable.
And by the way, people are saying, oh, I'm tired of COVID! There's nothing.
You know, all we do, let's do a couple of things.
Before we go around the world, let's play this clip.
This is a couple of new age chicks.
That have a podcast.
Were you at Woodstock 99?
Sounds like you were one of those white guys out there.
I'd be one of those white guys.
So you got some podcast chicks.
A couple of chicks.
I'm guessing they're in their 20s.
They got a podcast.
It's kind of a wild podcast.
It's new agey Wicca kind of stuff.
Mm-hmm.
And they check in on our show once in a while, which really surprises me.
Really?
And where is this?
What is the name of this clip?
It's called Awake But Not Woke is the name of their podcast.
Oh, No Agenda is a fantastic series.
It's a podcast series.
Two old dudes who dissect the media, but they play media clips, and they have a huge, huge audience of people who have expert backgrounds in all kinds of different stuff.
So they get a very wide range and wide breadth of information.
And then on top of that, they're playing you the actual media they're talking about.
So like we said today, we're not here to present you that facts.
But they are.
They're there to present the facts that they're talking about.
And they're not going to really talk about stuff that they're not backing up in some way.
Sometimes they'll just talk about stuff.
But the stuff that's important, they have all this information out there.
They have lots and lots of clips of Americans frontline doctors and lots of scientists and doctors who have been talking.
Yeah.
There are emails that are available and that Fox News is talking about.
I'm not afraid to say that because literally Fox News is talking about it.
And not that that's saying much, but like...
It's out there.
All this information is out there.
Go find it.
No Agenda is really, really great.
I recommend watching them or listening to them every week.
Their old stuff is great and I recommend going back, but personally I get a lot of value of just keeping up to date with it because they're always producing it every week, twice a week.
New information always.
Wow!
I'm very flattered.
I mean, it's the first time in my life that my soul has been crushed by being described as one of two old white, two old dudes.
No, not white, two dudes.
Two old dudes.
Well, luckily she didn't say white.
No, I don't think she was going to do that.
No, no, no.
That was soul crushing, but otherwise it's very flattering.
Yeah, the two old dudes doesn't bother me as much as it bothers you.
Well, it's new.
It's new for me, John.
Yeah, I'm used to it.
Yeah, it's new.
Well, see, I'm a new old guy.
I'm not at the point where people go, ah, he's an old guy.
Just let him get away with it.
That's the good point.
That's your breakout.
That's where you pass the dome.
Now you can be insulting.
You can have a cane and lift a dress.
Hey, wait, what?
What?
I can't wait!
When does that start?
It takes another decade for you.
A decade at least.
That actually made me feel really good.
That's so cool.
Well, you know, and these are clearly Gen Z's.
I'm so happy we have Gen Z listeners.
We have millennial listeners.
Thank goodness.
Otherwise, it would just be a whole bunch of old people talking on a podcast with their listeners who they call old producers.
And say 73.
73.
Now, the other one...
It's two old ham dudes.
It's the ham dudes, yes.
It's really the...
We thought it was a benefit, and then now we look back on it, we wonder.
Now, the...
These were Z's, I'm sure of it.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Ugh.
Well, they hit a lot of points.
Very good.
Thank you for sharing that.
And are they on Spotify with a huge contract, these two?
No, not yet.
Well, they're doing a good job.
They should try podcasting 2.0.
It'd be perfect for it.
It's good, actually.
Now, let's go around the world for a second because it's circling us now in the United States.
Again, I'm going to predict lockdown's coming.
Also for the United States, I think New York, maybe California will be the first to go.
It is definitely on the horizon.
It is definitely desired.
But around the world, it's such a variety of things that are happening.
And the first one is in the United Kingdom, where we had the so-called Freedom Day, which was accentuated, I should probably actually play that short little clip, by Prime Minister Boris Johnson coming out with this statement.
I should sort of notice now that by the end of September, when all over-18s will have had their chance, So this caused a lot of people to go very mad about this.
Yes?
Can I interrupt your stream and you can take it after this?
And I want to play my version of the UK Boris Johnson clip from PBS. And this says Covis.
I don't know.
I keep making that mistake.
UK lists restrictions.
there's a zinger in here. - All remaining pandemic restrictions ended in England today for the first time in 18 months.
Party goers in London ditched their face mask and flooded dance floors at midnight.
Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson defended the move, even though infections in his country are growing by 50,000 a day. - And so we have to ask ourselves the question, if not now, when?
And though both deaths and hospitalizations, as I say, are sadly rising, these numbers are well within the margins of what our scientists predicted at the outset of the roadmap.
Johnson himself has been forced to quarantine after being exposed to COVID again.
Okay.
Now, Johnson had COVID. Yeah, we went through this.
Why is he quarantining about anything?
Well, we went through this on the last show.
We talked about it.
Well, now I'm thinking, yes.
So he's quarantined.
And he also had the jab, if I'm not mistaken.
Oh, yeah.
He had COVID. He was vaccinated.
He had a hysterectomy.
No, it was a bullet.
He had his balls removed.
There's no doubt about that.
I think they're putting him aside again, getting him out of the public eye so they can...
Give him another jolt of whatever electricity.
I think they're putting him back on track.
He fell off the rails.
Well, the problem is, what happened for him to have to go and isolate?
If you recall, they had been traced as having been in contact With another fully vaccinated politician.
So the rule is, it's not mandatory, but you should stay home for 10 days.
And they went, no, we're going to try this new thing.
We're tested every 10 minutes, whatever, it'll be fine.
And they had to turn that around in two hours because the outrage was so enormous from everybody.
But no, no, no, we have to stay home in 10 days voluntarily.
You've got to do the same thing.
So you think it's just hiding from the public?
Well, because they were about to roll out their next weapon.
Nothing is more powerful in today's society than a notification on your phone.
And the 50,000 number you heard there, I think that's incorrect.
I think so too.
The 50,000 is pings.
So 50,000 people were alerted that they had been in proximity, according to the NHS app, proximity.
Remember, this is proximity stuff.
This is part of the early system that they put together.
So if your phone was near that person's phone for X amount of time, and it's gotten so bad, That it has a name.
It's being dubbed the Pingdemic, the UK's track and trace app that tells people to isolate if they have been near a COVID carrier.
But it's led to hundreds of thousands of healthy people having to miss work and stay at home.
And despite calls for its sensitivity to be adjusted, the health department is ruling out any changes.
The healthcare sector itself has become a victim of the app with a shortage of doctors and nurses leading to operations being cancelled.
There have been calls from the industry to allow a special exemption for medics, but the Department of Health insists the app is doing its job and reducing the coronavirus spread.
Questions have also been raised if the app is actually necessary now, given the widespread rollout of vaccines.
Now, if I were trying to start a great reset and I wanted to screw everything up, I'd make sure that I made no exemptions, not for politicians, not for doctors, if you got pinged by your phone that you were near someone who may have tested positive.
This is not a good thing what's going on there.
Can I also bring up another point?
You remember from 2020, in the early going, when they had the ship that came into New York, you know, they never put anybody in there.
Yes, for all of the COVID cases.
And all these reports from the hospitals, they were putting nurses and doctors on furlough.
Yeah.
At the same time, there was this going on, if you recall.
Yes.
Go ahead.
Yes.
low.
All of a sudden you go from laying off like half the staff because of everything has to be about COVID.
I don't, it doesn't make sense to me, by the way, you think you'd have more people, not less.
And now bitching about a shortage.
This is, this stinks.
Yes.
Food shortage is now predicted.
Food shortage is because of the pings.
Not because someone's tested positive in a PCR test.
And we have to remind ourselves.
I just got to go back for a second.
We have to stop for a moment.
Stop, everybody.
Stop and think.
Just go back and let us recall all the work that was presented about the so-called PCR test.
Kerry Mullis, the inventor of the test, tragically passed away just before this started in 2019.
He said, Fauci's full of crap from previous episodes and encounters.
The PCR is not meant as a diagnostic tool.
It never was intended that way.
It should not be used that way.
And certainly, if you're going to use it in any kind of diagnostic setting, you cannot count anything as a positive above 28 cycles.
And I'd like to remind everybody that the testing machines and the tests are also only available under emergency use authorization.
These things are by no means approved.
So what we certainly do not have in the field is any form of a PCR test.
That can determine what variant you may have tested positive with.
So what you're seeing is a complete lie.
The numbers, all the...
No.
Can they do that in the lab?
Yeah, of course.
Are there these new PCR tests with an...
Are they now available for the Delta variant?
No.
No.
The Delta variant, it may be a variant, and it may be that people who are vaccinated are creating stronger variants.
It could be a whole bunch of things.
But this PCR business has to stop.
It's not a valid way of determining if someone is sick, if someone is spreading.
It's just not.
Did you just play a clip from March 2020?
Oh no, that was you talking now.
Never mind.
So let's see.
How many months is that?
So for over a year, we have been bringing this up and it's well known.
But wait, there's one payoff and then I want you to continue.
Bill Gates and George Soros just both bought a major COVID tester in the UK for $41 million.
Just as a side note of what's going on here.
Well, that brings up a question as why?
Because the testing is the key to the lockdowns.
The testing is the key to economic instability.
The testing is the key to the big lie.
Yes!
Because it is a lie.
So it's been going fine.
Why did they have to buy them?
I don't have the answer to that.
Yet, but we will.
You know, America's frontline doctors filed a lawsuit against the HHS claiming that the HHS is hiding the true number of deaths from the vaccine in the United States, which they peg at 45,000 people.
And in the documents that I put in the show notes, it's a very interesting read.
It's not hard.
I mean, what they're really saying is PCR tests are bullcrap.
Hold on, I have the...
I have it actually here.
Uh...
The PCR is bogus.
The emergency use authorization is illegal because there are viable alternatives.
The lying about the functioning of hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, etc.
And they also have, direct from the CDC, they have documentation that says, I can actually pull it up here, that if you are unvaccinated, By the CDC, the standard for your test will be 40 to 45 cycles.
If you are vaccinated, the standard goes down to 35 cycles, depending on which test you have.
That makes zero sense.
So they are literally making it statistically more possible for vaccinated people to not test positive with this so-called test.
And of course, hey, we're just old dudes.
What do we know?
We've been around.
We've read some stuff.
Another reminder, was it 2012, the National Defense Authorization Act, which nullified the capability for the American government to use propaganda on its own people, the Smith-Munt Act.
It was removed, taken down, struck and annihilated.
All of this could be propaganda and completely legal.
This is why, indeed, they're right from that podcast, Awake But Not Woke.
They need to go back and listen to some of our older episodes where all of these things were discussed.
Of course, I always don't recommend that.
I know, I know, I know.
But it's a series.
We have a series.
A very long series.
It's a long series.
We've been in syndication long enough to be rich and not working, John.
What did we do wrong?
Well, we just need to continuously keep...
We said no agenda should be no money.
We need to keep this in mind, that this entire Delta variant, what is a lie is that they can give us exact numbers on how many people are testing positive with the variant.
This is all lab stuff.
Yeah, they tested it in the lab.
It looks more contagious.
But the media is incessant, just in its blanketing.
They call it flooding the zone with this type of information.
And people are pulling away from the media, as we see.
People are going away from the Today Show.
They don't want to hear about it.
In fact, there's probably more chance that people want to listen to complete conspiracy crap just to not have to hear what those people have to say.
Ah, another one.
I'm not going to do it.
It's a triple boom.
Hand it to me.
Boom!
Thank you.
I think you nailed it.
That's a fact.
Yes.
It's a hell of a lot more entertaining to listen to Alex Jones than it is to listen to NBC. Yeah.
And you find stuff out, like why the frogs are gay.
It's very educational.
Well, we actually covered that on the show.
I joke about that, but yes, lots of stuff.
A majority of what Alex Jones has touched on in his own unique way has been very accurate.
And certainly a lot in the right direction.
Now let's see what other devastation we can create in the world.
Back now with the possibility that the Tokyo Olympics could be cancelled at the last minute.
One of the men in charge of the Games is not ruling it out.
We learned overnight that eight new COVID cases are being linked to the Games and there's been a sharp spike in cases across Tokyo in the last week.
Many athletes from the U.S. and Europe are not following social distancing rules.
Link to the games.
There's been no games.
So how are they going to be linked to the games?
Well, it's people at the training camp.
And of course, our best competitors now can't compete because they tested COVID positive on the PCR thing.
Gambling.
But meanwhile...
I don't understand why the Fauci-Brownshirts didn't come in with their batons and crack some heads at Game 6 of the NBA in Milwaukee.
Reminder, the future starts now.
Watch this year's draft class take the stage and begin the next chapter of their basketball journey.
The NBA draft Thursday, July 29 at 8pm on ABC and ESPN. Dr.
Fauci is cringing at home as he's watching our game.
65,000 people in the parking lot.
Yeah, I know.
I saw that.
65,000.
How come they didn't go kick their ass?
I mean, that's a super spreader event.
Super spreader event.
But somehow it's not.
No, that never gets brought up.
But I do like the snide remark about Dr.
Fauci.
Cringing at home!
Well, now...
Which, by the way, I'm sure that one of the sportscasters was reprimanded for saying that.
Maybe.
Maybe.
I would think so, because this is making light of the crisis.
Yeah, if we were running the show, we'd have to call him in.
Yeah, I'd be right there in front of him, cringing.
Probably the two of us would have to call him, so it'd be a meeting of two against one.
Like, hey, Bob, look, this is not just coming from us.
It's actually coming from the board and, man, some of the shareholders.
You really, I mean...
You always bring that bullshit in right at the top.
The shareholders.
We have those activist shareholders.
This is not us, man, okay?
It's not us.
It's not us, and we kind of, you know, we know where you're coming from.
But do you like your job?
Does your wife like the house?
This is our recommendation.
In Australia or in New South Wales, which is where Sydney is locked down, the people are in their houses like dogs, like dogs, I tell you.
This is the chief health officer from New South Wales.
Whilst it is in human nature to engage in conversation with others, to be friendly, unfortunately, this is not the time to do that.
So even if you run into your next-door neighbour in the shopping centre, in the Coles, whilst you're at Coles Woolworths or Aldi or any other grocery shop, Don't start up a conversation.
Now is the time for minimizing your interactions with others.
Even if you've got a mask, do not think that affords total protection.
We want to be absolutely sure that as we go about our daily lives, we do not come into contact with anyone else that would pose a risk.
So shut up.
She's literally saying shut up.
Don't speak.
Masks don't work.
Wear it.
But don't talk.
What kind of sickos run that country?
This has got to be cultural.
Well, so I'm in touch with Sir Chris Wilson.
Now, he says it's quite insane what's going on, but here's what you won't hear reported from the health minister, the health official.
Rats, says Sir Chris, all throughout the city and surrounding suburbs.
This is not the mouse plague.
My ham radio buddy, who is also a pest dude, has his guys baiting now seven days a week.
With the shutdown, they've ceased construction work.
The rat population in the city has exploded.
Yeah.
No people or activity to disturb them, so they're breeding at a high rate.
The cost of rat poison is more than doubled and is in relatively short supply.
We're 15 minutes from the city and have a problem here with a lot of our bait gone in just a couple of days.
I would hang around a week or more, usually it would be around a week or more before they had eaten at all.
And he ends by saying, I guess that's what you get when you live on an island pinot colony and ultimately ruled by a lizard on the other side of the pancake.
Yeah.
Rats, man.
If you remember, about a month ago, this started cropping up in the news.
Mice.
Yeah, but that was real.
Yes, and they showed movies of these mice, or a film of these mice running around.
That was not in New South Wales.
This is truly rats.
That was a whole different thing.
Yeah, but that's different.
I mean, yeah, the mice is different than rats.
Yeah, rats is not food.
Rodents.
Yeah.
But now, that's what happens when you shut down a city.
And when the rats leave, then you know it's all over, Sidney.
Yeah, they've eaten everything.
It's really, it's not good.
They're grinding away on it as we speak.
It's disgusting.
And you blame the government.
Mm-hmm.
And the health ministry in Australia for all this.
This is terrible.
Just in.
Breaking news.
Back now with the possibility that the Tokyo Olympics could be canceled at the last minute.
One of the men in charge of the games is not ruling it out.
We learned overnight that eight new COVID cases are being linked to the games and there's been a sharp spike in cases across Tokyo in the last week.
Many athletes from the U.S. and Europe are not following social distancing rules.
They're having sex.
Yes, this is what you do.
Remember, they always hand out condoms at the Olympic Village.
That was a big deal four years ago, if you recall.
Five years ago.
Four.
It's always four.
No, we skipped a year.
Oh, that's right.
Yes, it's five.
I know.
It's all right.
I don't get to...
It's okay, John.
I don't get to lift up skirts with my canes.
Yeah!
Ooh!
Ooh!
Now, let's see what the vibe is here in the United States.
You really need to take this vaccine.
I mean, the things that are being said, this was fantastic.
It was Monday morning, 11 a.m.
Eastern, so 10 a.m.
here.
For almost a full hour on CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC, CNN had Fauci talking about the Delta and the Vax.
Fox News had a pre-taped interview which they rolled out in segments throughout that hour with Collins, Fauci's boss, and MSNBC had Collins himself on live for almost an hour.
Blanketing the so-called news airwaves with Delta variant vaccine talk, of which we know the Delta variant numbers are bullcrap because there's no test for the variant.
And this was just an onslaught.
Now, is that coordinated between these three networks?
Doubtful.
Is it a masterful job by whoever is doing the bookings?
Yes!
Yes, that trifecta on three networks at the same time, the same slot?
Very impressive.
And we have our politicians to help out as well.
This is the current mayor of Chicago, Larry Lightfoot.
The mayor of Chicago is warning of new restrictions if cases keep rising.
I know many of you are enjoying summer in Chicago and the return of our iconic fairs and festivals.
But that doesn't mean this is a free-for-all and that people can skip out on being fully vaccinated and not following common-sense guidance around gatherings.
You can't skip out on them, man.
You can't skip out on them.
So, what do you do?
Well, it depends on who you're working for, but you have to go to TikTok and you have to tell the people what really needs to happen because these people who are not getting vaccinated, who are taking this free ride, who think they can get away with this, who think they can get away with this, but we know what to do.
I'm sorry.
This is what we have to do.
It may seem very controversial to some people but the reality is that we now need forced vaccinations on the unvaccinated population.
If not now, at some point over the next year, we are going to have to use force to vaccinate those who would otherwise delay and make impossible the herd immunity that we so desperately need.
How we go about forcing these people to become vaccinated or to volunteer or to be physically held down and vaccinated, I don't know.
But what I do know is we will probably need the police and the army and the community to come together and to knock on some doors and say, look, guys, you know, time's up and it's time to have your jab.
It's not going to be pretty, but I do think it's the moral thing to do.
And although some conventions prohibit it, I do think we can work through that.
Oh, yeah, some conventions prohibit it.
Who is this douche?
A TikTok douche.
That's what I'm saying.
Just a TikTok douche?
Well, we don't know now, really.
Is he from Britain or he's not from Australia?
That's a British accent.
British, yeah.
But it's in general, you're getting this now.
It's flowing over into whether it's Planted, purposeful, or just influenced that way.
This is what happens.
And now you're getting to a point where you're creating problems.
And people are standing up.
The mandate for vaccination in schools is almost unanimous.
I would say amongst the M5M unanimous.
Well, this is just logical.
Well, of course, we've got to shoot these kids up.
Of course, it's super spreader events now.
Oh, vaccination!
Gotta do it!
And in Orange County, which I think is...
Is that like a spot, a blotch of red in California?
Orange County?
There's a couple of counties down there that are red.
Real Housewives were shot there.
Look pretty conservative to me.
This is a mom...
who is angry about the mandating of vaccines for her children.
And I only clipped a minute of it, and I'll talk about the rest that she mentioned.
But this is one way you can do it.
...rights attorney.
Late last week, I am informed a meeting occurred between Orange County Health Officer Dr. Clayton Shaw and Orange County Board of Education Superintendent Al Mahars, during which time they apparently tried to find a way to, quote, sidestep and entirely remove informed parental consent for the COVID vaccine and also turn Orange County school campuses into vaccination centers.
The COVID-19 vaccine is an experimental medical protocol authorized under the Emergency Use Authorization Act, and as such, you cannot mandate it for anyone, nor can you sidestep informed consent.
There is a reason that kids cannot smoke, drive, drink, have sex, vote, or die for this country, and it is because the law says they lack the capacity to understand those decisions, and that applies here more than ever.
Hear me loud and hear me well.
We will not be morphing our school campuses into COVID vaccine centers for delivery of an experimental medical protocol that killed every damned ferret in the last animal study they did until such time they had to abandon that study, and then they didn't even do the study this time around because we are the study.
We are the study.
She was one of those women.
Yeah, well, she goes on to point out some very obvious things, and I've put some documentation.
Sarah has been sending me some good backup on that to put in the—producer Sarah—in the show notes.
In history, we've had situations where groups of people were not allowed to go to restaurants, cafes, theaters, music halls, swimming pools, libraries, theater.
And do you know why that was?
That was because they were afraid— That groups of people were spreading disease.
Let me see.
The disease...
Of course, it wasn't COVID. But you know who that most prominent group of people was?
And who this order is for from 1942?
It's Jews in France.
But disease were the Jews spreading in France?
None!
That's the point!
But because the Jews were dirty and they were spreading disease, it's the same tactic.
Same thing.
Same tactic.
And now we have this one, which is, you probably saw this, and this was published everywhere.
Dr.
Brittany Cobia, when you spell Brittany, B-R-Y-T-N-E-Y, what is up with that?
What is up with that?
I don't understand.
Wow.
Brightney, I'm going to call her Brightney.
Dr.
Brightney Cobia said Monday that all but one of her COVID patients in Alabama did not receive the vaccine.
The vaccinated patients, he said, just needed a little oxygen and is expected to fully recover.
Some of the others are dying.
I'm admitting young, healthy people to the hospital with very serious COVID infections, wrote Cobia, a hospitalist.
What is a hospitalist?
What is a hospitalist?
Is that an administrative function?
No.
I've never heard the word until this moment.
A hospitalist.
And she wrote this in an emotional Facebook post on Sunday.
Quote, One of the last things they do before they're intubated is beg me for the vaccine.
I hold their hand and tell them I'm sorry, but it's too late.
What a crock of crap that is.
From the hospital that's spelled B-R-Y. Ha!
Hospital is with a Y, yeah?
Yeah?
That's crazy, man.
Wow, that's pretty sick.
Let me read this.
Just because you're taking over.
You're on a roll.
I got more.
I'm just structuring it for us.
You're going to go right back to it after I read this note.
This is producer Michael.
An average for California is 89.5% in so far as...
The average people that have antibodies in California is 85.9% total population.
I know it's based on blood donations, only a small percent, but this should mean herd immunity already in California.
It's because the blood banks have been taking all the blood that goes, this is based on blood, that goes and they test it for COVID. They've been told by the government to stop testing.
Yes.
And what are those tests anyway?
Well, they test the blood for a bunch of things when you give to a blood bank.
Well, why are they stopping the testing?
For obvious reasons.
They can't have a number like 85, because that's way past herd immunity.
If 85.9% of the population...
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Did you not get the memo?
Herd immunity can only be achieved by vaccination.
Not by antibodies.
Do you think you're a doctor?
Shut up.
That's literally what's being said now, John.
Not that we haven't been tracking it.
Seriously!
I think it's in one of these clips.
Let me see.
This is about long haulers.
Let me see.
A lot of talk we have been over the past year during the pandemic about people who have long-term effects, these long haulers.
So I guess you would know if you're feeling some effects over time, but now they're actually trying to develop a test that could tell you if you're a long hauler.
Exactly that.
So as you know, in the emergency rooms, most often than not, I'm treating acute or new symptoms of COVID-19.
But recently, there's been more and more patients that are coming in with chronic or long-term symptoms associated to COVID-19.
And scientists estimate that up to 30% of people who have COVID-19 continue to develop symptoms four or more weeks after their initial diagnosis.
And these symptoms can be variable.
They can include symptoms of fatigue, mental fogginess, difficulties with sleep, intermittent chest pain or shortness of breath, digestive problems.
Some patients even have changes in their menstrual cycles.
And some even have intermittent fevers for reasons that we can't immediately identify.
And you know what?
Scientists have found specific antibodies in blood testing of patients with long-haul symptoms.
And these types of antibodies are a little different.
They actually attack normal, healthy cells.
And in science, we call these auto-antibodies.
And they're developing a test for this.
It's new and it's preliminary, but it might be available and accessible as early as this winter to help patients answer the question, do I or do I not have long-haul syndrome?
So now we have auto-antibodies.
It's strange.
Some people have antibodies that try to kill yourself.
Seriously.
Is this guy ever let up with the bull crap?
No, no.
And then the breathless reporters...
Oh, okay.
Well, this is...
The whole idea of a panic is good for everybody, including the news media, because it creates engagement for whatever they're doing.
Engagement.
But if you take this into account...
This is a vaccine program director.
His name is David Bauer, and he's going to tell us about the antibodies and immunity.
The message from our finding is that we found that recipients of the Pfizer vaccine, those who've had two doses, have about five to six-fold lower amounts of neutralizing antibodies.
Now, these are the sort of gold standard private security antibodies of your immune system.
which block the virus from getting into your cells in the first place.
So we found that that's less for people with two doses.
We've also found that for people with only one dose of the Pfizer jab, that they are less likely to have high levels of these antibodies in their blood.
And perhaps most importantly for all of us going forward, Is that we see that the older you are, the lower your levels are likely to be.
And the time since you've had your second jab, as that time goes on, the lower your levels are also likely to be.
So that's telling us that we're probably going to be needing to prioritize boosters for older and more vulnerable people coming up soon.
Kill the oldsters.
Now let's think about this logically.
What he's saying...
Is that when you get the Pfizer or Moderna, he said specifically...
No.
I thought he said Pfizer.
He said Pfizer.
He did not say Moderna.
Let's double check.
This is important.
The Johnson& Johnson COVID... Oops.
That's not the right clip.
All right.
I'll take your word for it.
That when you take the Pfizer vaccine...
I'm sorry.
We need to stop using that term, I've decided.
When you accept...
The Pfizer vaccine.
You don't take anything.
It's forced on you.
You deny.
When you accept the Pfizer vaccine, it creates your antibodies, but your immune system diminishes.
And so the solution to your immune system diminishing is to give you more antibodies while at the same time, I presume, diminishing your immune system even more or keeping it at low levels.
How does it make sense, what he's saying?
It doesn't make any sense at all.
Well, thanks.
The guy's a ghoul.
Yeah.
Well, these are evil people.
The signal has gone out, John.
The bat signal has gone out.
It's time to get everybody pumped for the boosters.
The Johnson& Johnson COVID-19 vaccine is less effective against the Delta mutation compared to the original strain of the virus.
That's according to New York University researchers who looked at blood samples in a lab.
Their study suggests people who receive the single shot may need another one.
The study says the vaccine is only 33% effective.
No, who cares?
Okay, so when we hear 33, we know it's a signal, and the signal is the boost is on...
Even if you had J&J, go get a Pfizer because whatever that stuff was is not good enough.
You need Pfizer.
You need some Pfizer.
If you had anything, if you had two Pfizer, get a third Pfizer.
The boost is on.
It's necessary.
33.
The number has spoken.
MSNBC, let's talk to board member of Pfizer, former director of the Food and Drug Administration responsible for approving vaccines, Dr.
Scott Gottlieb.
It might be the case that after a third booster, you get a much more durable immunity.
It might be the case that this becomes an annual vaccine.
The length of protection is only about six months to a year from infection.
You get residual protection against hospitalizations and more severe outcomes.
But if you're going to protect against infection, that protection may not last in perpetuity.
Come on, baby.
Bring it on.
Boost.
Maybe every six months?
Every six months?
This is an aside.
We're talking a little bit about this on the DH Unplugged show.
No, I haven't heard it yet.
And Horowitz brought up this point, because it's like this, it says, I'm the one promoting on that show, and here too, that Pfizer's a bunch of marketing geniuses, because they find a way to get their name above Moderna, and it's one thing after another, and they're doing all these things in schools, and they want the third shot, the fourth shot, and now every year.
He brought up the point, why is Pfizer's stock doing nothing?
Well, the news, well, okay, Pfizer's stock is doing nothing, really?
Yeah, it's just flat.
We have it on our game.
It's pretty much just done nothing since the beginning of the whole thing.
And it doesn't make any sense.
My suggestion was there's something going on behind the scenes that we don't know about.
And that Pfizer's in trouble.
Well, the only thing I have does not involve...
Oh, I'm sorry.
Yes.
Okay, so I have two stories.
One is the story that no one gives a crap about, and that is the $28 billion that the United States government wants to sue the pharmaceutical companies, wants as a penalty for the pharmaceutical companies' role in addicting Americans in the opioid crisis.
Pfizer is not in that.
Johnson& Johnson is in that.
And no one has talked about it, by the way.
It's only $28 billion.
Who gives a crap?
And, of course, no one's going to jail.
No doctors, no pill mills.
Just pay the fine.
But this may be part of it.
There's a big law firm, and this just came out, that was...
Now, it says their networks were compromised.
So they had a cyber hack...
I think that they're trying to soften it somehow, but saying, yeah, it was ransomware.
But their clients are Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Boeing, Johnson& Johnson, and Pfizer, Home Depot, and Exxon.
And this may be something that's been known.
It may be out internally, and it could be that...
I don't know if there really was a ransomware, because typically the reporting comes with numbers and outrage and Bitcoin hate and FUD, and now it's just very much on the sly.
And, you know, with pharma, they are basically just law companies with chemical bins out in the back.
That's all they do.
Interesting.
And marketing, of course.
I mean, marketing is in business.
Marketing is fabulous.
Let's go to, back to sticking with the marketing, let's go to Dr.
Vin Gupta.
Now, this is no relation to Jose, although he looks the same, but that's just me being an old dude and racist.
He was on Shep Smithard.
Shep Smithard.
Shep.
Shep Smith, from now on, Shep Smithard, everybody.
Shep Smithard.
That's a great name, Smithard.
Shep Smithard, everybody, here in the morning.
Let's get to Shep Smithard and Vin Gupta.
Doctor, these new questions about the effectiveness of J&J's vaccine against the Delta strain.
This new study, should the nine or so million of us who got the J&J single dose mask up now, N95 style, until we know more?
No, Shep, and good evening.
What I do think it shows is that it's hard to believe that one dose of J&J is equivalent to two doses of Pfizer or two doses of Moderna.
What?
This is where I would like the CDC, FDA... Hold on.
Hold on.
You're going to have to start that over because that is ludicrous.
The J&J is a totally different technology.
Mm-hmm.
And it's not like volumetric.
Oh, it's hard to believe that one is good as two.
It's like comparing apples and oranges.
It's like saying, oh, it's hard to believe that one apricot is as good as two cherries.
I mean, it doesn't make any sense what this guy's saying.
The guy should be shot on the spot.
Doctor, these new questions about the effectiveness of J&J's vaccine against the Delta strain.
This new study, should the nine or so million of us who got the J&J single dose mask up now N95 style until we know more?
No, Shep, and good evening.
What I do think it shows is that it's hard to believe that one dose of J&J is equivalent to two doses of Pfizer or two doses of Moderna.
And this is where I would like the CDC, FDA, and especially the ACIP committee when they meet later this week to at least allow one dose J&Jers to get a second dose of Pfizer or Moderna if they should show choose.
Because we know, Shep, from what's happening in England.
People are already doing that, doctor.
You know that.
No, and I will say one dose of AstraZeneca, very similar to J&J, when combined with Pfizer and Moderna, has a tremendous effect in terms of protection, antibody level that are generated.
So I do think that those one-shot J&J should be given the opportunity while we complete our clinical trial.
If you had it, would you want it?
If one of your loved ones who had comorbidities had gotten the J&J shot, would you say, go get a Pfizer and Moderna?
Here's how you do it.
Oh, I'm already telling my patients to do it if they can get access.
Isn't this insane?
Yeah, if they can get access.
It goes like this.
You go to the doctor and say, I got my J&J shot.
I want a shot of Pfizer.
The doctor goes, hell no!
What are you, nuts?
That's what a doctor should say.
So the things that are baffling to me, we went from...
By the way, I can't tell you because I had the news...
The first I saw the Newsy guy doing this a couple weeks ago, I talked about it.
I think I should top off, top off with...
I have a J&J shot, I should top off with Pfizer.
I can't tell you how much this disgusts me.
It's not a gas tank.
Because it...
Yes, it's not a gas tank.
Would you like a top off on your beer?
At the very beginning...
When they first started talking about these vaccines, they made us stink.
Well, hold on.
It had to be 100,000 degrees below zero, transported in special refrigerators that we bought for several billion dollars, which later turned out to be, you know, we can just put it in a Yeti cooler.
It's okay.
It's okay.
You're good to go.
There was that, and then you can't mix and match.
You had to wait three weeks exactly to the day, and if you went over time, you may have to get another shot, and you can't mix this with that.
You can't even mix the Moderna with the Pfizer, let alone top off.
But now...
They change it.
With no evidence of any reason.
It's a free-for-all.
This is outrageous.
The public should be pissed off about this.
It just irks me to no end.
Here is...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Continue, my friend.
I am with you.
Actually, I was going to look for something else to jump in there.
Well, okay, we'll go now to...
What is this?
This is Good Morning America, Dr.
Darian Sutton.
A question that has been asked many times, and this would actually be something you could discuss on DH Unplugged.
Dr.
Sutton, let's get some questions here from our audience.
The first one up here, why do I still need a vaccine if I already had COVID-19?
Great question.
Probably get it every day.
So bottom line is that if you've had natural infections with COVID-19, the immune response is variable.
Some people have a good, robust response.
Others do not.
And right now we don't have any good way of telling.
So our recommendation is that even if you've had COVID-19 to get the vaccine, to get that robust, protective immune response.
I mean, can you believe it?
They're just telling us things.
Well, I guess what he could have said is, you know, you've had it, but your immune system is healthy.
We need to give you a shot so that you have antibodies, but we need to suppress that immune system.
Got to get that thing down a little bit.
You're way too healthy for the next lockdown.
We got to have you a little sickly to put you inside.
Well, that's what the earlier clip indicated.
Yes.
The one you play where the guy says, well, you get the shot and your immune system gets shot to hell and you're screwed.
I can't overlook that he said that.
I can't believe these people.
Well, and then explain.
Now, this is one of those shot in the wild.
There's seven seconds.
It's wild TV sound.
But you can see it was on television.
And a quick news report.
And I don't know if this is a gaffe or if this is actually, it might be a necessary medicine.
An Australian biotech company has developed a new treatment it hopes will prevent people dying from COVID vaccines.
And I think about them like, well, it wouldn't be a news story to say they've developed something to hope people will be dying from COVID variant.
That's not a news story.
That's what the vaccines are for.
I think this was not as, you know, we've been collecting these switcheroos.
Yeah, it didn't sound like it.
For people out there where they accidentally say vaccine instead of virus.
Mm-hmm.
I think this was exactly what it said.
The vaccine is killing people.
In fact, their numbers now, they're up to 12,000.
Well, it was 11,990 on Sunday, and I looked it up on the show.
There is a story which Alex Berenson reported, and if Alex Berenson says it, I'm very inclined to believe it.
That that number was chopped in half in the VAERS database.
It doesn't show it on what I have, down to 6,000.
Gosh, I wish I had the...
We were talking about dead from the vaccine.
Dead from the vaccine, yeah.
Down to 6,000 saying that, well, you know, this was really that we've sifted through it.
That's not right.
And at the end of the day, they believe that only truly three people have died from a COVID vaccine.
And surprise, surprise, those three all had Johnson& Johnson.
Oh, yeah.
That would be right.
Coincidence?
I think not.
Everyone's career is on the line.
You've got to pick your party.
Are you on the side of the vaccine or what?
Jerome Adams, he was our Surgeon General under President Trump.
He had to come out and say something.
Former Surgeon General Jerome Adams weighing in on mask wearing, tweeting the CDC guidance was premature and wrong.
He added, instead of vax it or mask it, the emerging data suggests CDC should be advising to vax it and mask it in areas with rising cases and positivity.
He's just trying to keep his voice in there.
I was a good guy.
I couldn't help it.
I was with Trump.
I was...
And Delta variant.
Well, Delta variant is raging.
Somehow they knew to be on the lookout for this one.
This morning, a hospital in Houston is reporting its first case of the Lambda variant of the coronavirus.
A strain shown to be more transmissible first discovered in Peru last summer.
Yeah, they're trying to push this Lambda.
But the problem with Lambda is that it's not easy to say, spell, or pronounce.
Or pronounce or say the same thing.
It's definitely not as punchy.
It's not as punchy.
Delta.
Delta.
That's why there's so many sororities got Delta in them.
Delta, Alpha, Delta, Psi, Delta, Delta, Delta.
It's got a hard D and a T. It could also be that Delta Airlines was just tired of it.
Come on, man.
Let's do a Lambda.
Hey, call up that guy, Dasik, over at that research firm that, you know, the go-between for the gain-of-function research.
Call that guy.
Let's make a lambda variant so at least we can get this delta off the books.
It's killing me over here.
Now, you're going to continue, but I want to just mention that I do have, because nobody put it on the air, the complete back and forth.
That's exactly where I was going, and I led you right down that path, and you...
Between Fauci and Rand Paul.
Yes.
If you listen to the mainstream media, you saw Rand Paul say a couple of nasty things to Fauci on the hearing.
And then Fauci says, you're a liar!
Well, I would like to play two clips before we play that.
And I'm glad you got that.
So, we should probably just set it up.
In a nutshell, what is happening is Rand Paul has asked Dr.
Fauci repeatedly if the NIH, or specifically the NIA, DIA, ILMNOP, that he is in charge of, has funded gain-of-function research, which is very...
Well, it's actually can be a very broad term, but in this context, we know and we've seen like some small number, $3.7 million contract.
And they went to this third party.
Was it bioinformatic?
I forget the name of the company.
Yeah, it's mentioned in these clips.
And then he was doing gain-of-function research.
And it really isn't even about where it was done per se.
But, you know, the idea is that this gain-of-function research was done, and at least some of it may have been done in Austin, for I know.
Some of it could be in Manitoba.
But a portion of it was done in Wuhan, and that's where we might have had the lab leak.
So it's truly about the gain of function.
And what Fauci is, the way I see it, he's playing word games to say, well, NIH never funded gain of function research, which is true because it was through an intermediary.
There's some other trickery the way he's answering or stating things that is, I mean, he may even be technically correct in the long run.
But the look of this is very bad for Fauci, especially since Rand Paul has gone back now in this latest exchange and has, in effect, given him the chance to get out of this lie, which Fauci is holding steadfast to.
And now Rand Paul is saying, oh, I just filed papers with the Department of Justice.
I want Fauci arrested because he lied to Congress.
And that, from a PR standpoint, sucks if you're Fauci.
But listen to how the mainstream, the M5M, is reporting it.
We'll start with Don Lemon.
Senator Rand Paul, he tried to make Dr.
Anthony Fauci into his personal punching bag today as they went head-to-head over the senator's bogus claims that the National Institutes of Health somehow played a role in funding research that led to the origins of the pandemic.
Do you see what he's doing here?
That's what he does.
He's omitting the gain-of-function piece.
It's not gain-of-function research, no.
The story that they're running with is...
Fran, Paul, he's saying that Fauci funded people to do that in the lab to create a bio...
Whatever they're saying, it's not what the story is.
...claims that the National Institutes of Health somehow played a role in funding research that led to the origins of the pandemic.
And Dr.
Fauci...
Yeah, instead of financing, played a role.
Thank you.
Good catch.
...was definitely not having it.
So disingenuous, dishonest, Don Lemon...
Okay, so we don't have to go to that.
Then ABC America this morning.
A heated exchange erupted on Capitol Hill between Senator Rand Paul and Dr.
Anthony Fauci.
Paul accused Fauci of lying to Congress about funding research at a lab in Wuhan, China.
Dr.
Fauci fired back.
Did we miss again that it was...
What?
I thought it was gain-of-function research.
They can't bring themselves to say it.
And, I mean, is this seriously, because these are scripted people, but that's the level that they've gone cross-network and said, okay, we're dropping gain-of-function.
We don't want to mention the main topic of the debate is gain-of-function research, and we're just dropping that from our reporting?
And we have to remember that gain-of-function research was banned in the United States.
In fact, Fauci is on record, we haven't played it, but he's on record in video saying, well, that got stopped, so we had to find other innovative ways to get around funding it.
Yeah.
I mean, it's out in the open.
It's like, it's red.
No, it's blue.
It's red, look at it!
So what I want to play is the actual...
I don't know if I have a two-part or three-part version of this.
Rand Paul further...
Okay.
I've got actually the actual testimony on both sides and the argument and debate that went back and forth.
In three clips, and then I have a follow-up where Rand Paul comes on with one of these obscure Fox shows and explains in detail what the hell's going on.
None of this, of course, is covered by the mainstream media at all.
And we have to take up our valuable time to show this.
You're so right.
And so I decided that, well, we should play the whole damn thing, and that's why I cut it into three.
The whole back and forth between Fauci and Rand Paul, because it's actually educational at the same time.
It shows you what a bunch of dicks that the mainstream media are.
Because they won't give us the facts.
Let's start with New Rand v.
Fauci Part 1.
Dr.
Fauci, as you are aware, it is a crime to lie to Congress.
Section 1001 of the U.S. Criminal Code creates a felony and a five-year penalty for lying to Congress.
On your last trip to our committee on May 11th, you stated that the NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
And yet, gain-of-function research was done entirely in the Wuhan Institute by Dr.
Xi and was funded by the NIH. I'd like to ask unanimous consent to insert into the record the Wuhan Virology paper entitled, Discovery of a Rich Gene Pool of Bat SARS-Related Coronaviruses.
Please deliver a copy of the journal article to Dr.
Fauci.
In this paper, Dr.
Shi credits the NIH and lists the actual number of the grant that she was given by the NIH. In this paper, she took two bat coronavirus genes, spike genes, and combined them with a SARS-related backbone to create new viruses that are not found in nature.
These lab-created viruses were then shown to replicate in humans.
These experiments combine genetic information from different coronaviruses that infect animals, but not humans, to create novel artificial viruses able to infect human cells.
Viruses that in nature only infect animals were manipulated in the Wuhan lab to gain the function of infecting humans.
Boom!
Can I say it now?
So he starts off with this, and he goes on a little bit more before Fauci is actually allowed to...
Fauci is visibly shook by this, by the way.
Yeah, very obvious.
He looks a little bit younger, P.S. Maybe some bow to the tocks.
No, it's probably because he's getting...
He probably got flushed.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, he looks healthy.
He was slightly nervous, and he was mad because...
And Paul was not...
I don't know if...
I mean, it wasn't like entrapment when he starts off by saying, you know, it's illegal to do what you did right at the beginning.
Yeah.
So that was immediately put Fauci on the defensive.
So the thing continues now.
Just to kind of do a little meta on this, the debate is over whether or not the NIH gave Wuhan money to fund nothing but gain a function.
Not to make a COVID-19 virus, but just to do this work.
Yeah.
And Fauci tries to twist it a little bit to get out of this, but Fauci is pretty adamant.
I think he...
I don't know what he's going to do, but let's continue.
This research fits the definition of the research that the NIH said was subject to the pause in 2014 to 2017, a pause in funding on gain-of-function.
But the NIH failed to recognize this, defines it away, and it never came under any scrutiny.
Dr.
Richard E. Bright, a molecular biologist from Rutgers, described this research in Wuhan as, the Wuhan lab used NIH funding to construct novel chimeric SARS-related coronaviruses able to infect human cells and laboratory animals.
This is high-risk research that creates new potential pandemic pathogens, potential pandemic pathogens that exist only in the lab, not in nature.
This research matches, these are Dr.
Ebright's words, this research matches, indeed epitomizes, the definition of gain-of-function research, done entirely in Wuhan, for which there was supposed to be a federal pause.
Dr.
Fauci, knowing that it is a crime to lie to Congress, do you wish to retract your statement of May 11th where you claimed that the NIH never funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan?
Your microphone.
Senator Paul, I have never lied before the Congress, and I do not retract that statement.
This paper that you were referring to was judged by qualified staff up and down the chain as not being gain of function.
Let me finish.
When you take an animal virus and you increase its transmissibility to humans, you're saying that's not gain of function?
That is correct.
And Senator Paul, you do not know what you are talking about, quite frankly.
And I want to say that officially.
You do not know what you are talking about.
Okay, you get one person.
Let's read from the NIH definition of gain of function.
This is your definition that you guys wrote.
I just love the...
Excuse me.
I'm saying this officially as a member of Starfleet Command.
I'm officially reprimanding you.
It doesn't even say...
No one says Dr.
Rand Paul, do they?
Dr.
Paul.
No.
Rand Paul, Republican.
Republican Rand Paul and Dr.
Anthony Fauci.
And so now it's about a definition.
Pretty much what the whole thing was really about.
But it's a definition.
He's saying, no, that's not gain.
He literally, Fauci said, that's not gain of function.
Yeah.
That's what he said.
Hold on a second.
Is this thing blue?
No, it's not blue.
Gain of function definition.
Let's see if that's changed or we were just wrong.
Wikipedia.
That's always good to know.
Gain of function research is medical research that alters an organism or disease in a way that increases pathogenesis, transmissibility, or host range.
Or the types of hosts that a microorganism can infect.
Yeah.
So definitely, definitely.
It's definitely gain of function.
Gain of function.
And that's according to Wikipedia.
The book of knowledge.
So you can't get out of that.
So Fauci is just denying it.
No.
I do not like your violence.
By the way, Rand Paul's as flabbergasted as Fauci.
Do you think so?
Do you think he was really flabbergasted?
I don't think so.
I think he was.
I think it was flabbergasted that Fauci had the gall to say this was not gain of function.
Just deny.
No, no, it's not blue.
It looks blue to me.
And he didn't just say that.
He said it officially.
Officially, yes.
It says that scientific research that increases the transmissibility among animals is gain of function.
They took animal viruses that only occur in animals and they increased their transmissibility to humans.
How you can say that is not gain of function?
It is not.
It's a dance and you're dancing around this because you're trying to obscure responsibility for four million people dying around the world from a pandemic.
Well, now you're getting into something.
If the point that you are making is that the grant that was funded as a sub-award from EcoHealth to Wuhan created SARS-CoV-2, that's where you are getting.
Let me finish.
We don't know.
We don't know if it did come from the lab, but all the evidence is pointing that it came from the lab, and there will be responsibility for those who funded the lab, including yourself.
I totally resent the lie that you are now propagating, Senator, because if you look at the viruses that were used in the experiments, That were given in the annual reports that were published in the literature.
It is molecularly impossible.
No one's saying those virus caused it.
It is molecularly...
No one is alleging that those virus caused the pandemic.
What we're alleging is that gain-of-function research was going on in that lab and NIH funded it.
That is not...
Get away from it.
It meets your definition and you are obfuscating the truth.
I'm not obfuscating the truth.
You are the one.
I want everyone to understand that if you look at those viruses, and that's judged by qualified virologists and evolutionary biologists, Those viruses are molecularly impossible to result in SARS-CoV-2.
We're saying they are gain-of-function viruses because they're animal viruses that became more transmissible and human, and you funded it.
And you admit the truth.
And you implying...
Senator Paul, your time has expired, and I will allow witnesses who come before this committee to respond.
And you are implying...
That what we did was responsible for the deaths of individuals.
I totally resent that.
And if anybody is lying here, Senator, it is you.
Wow.
Senator Smith.
That is so good.
Because Fauci basically just convicted himself by saying, you're implying that we funded the death of millions of people.
No, I was just asking if you funded gain-of-function research.
You went off on this crazy tangent, officially.
He did.
He went nuts.
He had to be very shaky when he got home.
He looked shaky at the end of that.
He was...
Like a little...
Almost like a tremor, you know?
Like one of those Parkinson's tremors.
So we got two more clips after this Ram Paul went on and explained a little more about some things that we...
I... Thank you for doing that.
You're so right.
And if there's any place where you can take the time to listen to what was actually said and talk about it...
Not up against the eight-minute commercial break.
It's very useful to people to just be able to sit back and listen to it without a bunch of bullcrap around it and edited and commentary and short...
That's good.
Yeah, no, you have to, some of these things, it's a lot, that was six minutes.
Some of these things you actually have to listen to from beginning to end instead of listening to some commentator, his interpretation.
It's not that hard to interpret.
It was a straightforward back and forth.
I didn't need any interpretation of what happened.
I could hear it.
I know what they said now.
I don't think I know.
So just to make it a little further, a little more detailed, let's go with Rand Paul further explaining on Fox.
This is part one.
Senator, point of view, watching this a few times, you tried to say what was going on in that lab from a paper you were reading, and it's defined as gain-of-function research.
He wanted to focus on, in particular, a certain experiment.
You're trying to say that he was not accurate May 11th when he said there was none of that financed by the NIH, correct?
Well, gain-of-function research is defined by the NIH. We read the definition to him.
It's when you take an animal virus and you make it more transmissible or more dangerous or more likely to cause a disease in humans.
So we presented a paper from the Wuhan Institute by a Dr.
Shi where she took viruses, combined two viruses that were not infectious in humans and made them infectious in humans.
We quoted a scientist from Rutgers University with 30-year history in cellular biology who said that it was the epitome of gain-of-function research and all Dr.
Fauci could do was sputter, call me a liar, but he never at any point in time did he address any of the facts that we laid out that the money he was giving to Wuhan was indeed for gain-of-function.
So the significance of this is American money used to finance experiments that we didn't want done in the Wuhan lab.
We're seeing more and more people are agreeing with the original assessment and Tom Cotton's original assessment that that's where this whole pandemic started from.
That's pretty significant if it's American dollars being used and Dr.
Fauci knew about it and is trying to get away from responsibility from it.
Yeah, he has a significant conflict of interest.
Since he was indeed at the top of the food chain and that he did approve funding to the NIH to the Wuhan lab, that's not even contested.
He knows that he approved the funding.
all he's saying is oh well the research now doesn't meet our definition but when you read the nih definition of gain of function and you talk to other scientists they're saying it's the epitome of gain of function so yes he is dancing around the truth why because if this disease came from the lab and they were funding gain of function guess what there's some at the very least moral culpability he has for the beginning of the pandemic Hmm.
So...
What nobody really wants to say is that we, the American public, paid for this disaster.
No.
That's really what it boils down to.
Well, if you extrapolate it, yeah.
Yeah.
Everyone that died from the COVID and everyone who's dying from the vaccine, for all practical purposes, we financed it.
The American public financed this and nobody wants to really come out and just say that.
Let's listen to part two of this where he kind of brings in a few other little items, little tidbits I thought were worth listening to.
Right.
But if you go back to Fauci's statements in 2012, he said that the research was worth it even if a pandemic should occur.
Even if a leak from a lab should occur, the research was worth it.
That, to me, shows incredibly bad judgment.
Senator Rand Paul, how was your exchange covered today?
You know, when you look at the so-called objective sources of news, they played only one side.
They didn't look at all.
But this is sort of the problem we have.
Fauci controls all the funding, and the media is all on his side, and so nobody questioned what I had said.
They just broadcast that Fauci called me a liar.
So name-calling became the issue of the day for the left-wing media.
So a lot of doctors are frustrated that Dr.
Fauci is the face of this.
Never turned down an interview from Steph Curry's podcast to MSNBC's 3AM show.
Senator Marty McCrory has been frustrated with the way this whole thing's been categorized and was doing a study right now on Johns Hopkins on how the money's been used at the NIH. 80 billion plus.
Listen to what he told me on the radio today.
The reality is I'd love to see the data.
He should be ashamed of himself, by the way.
The NIH last year spent $41 billion on research grants.
0.4% of that went to COVID. If he is so convinced that masks are needed in kids two and a half years old, why didn't he fund the study?
So he's got 80 billion, he gives out 40, he keeps 41, and puts 0.4% into COVID-19 results and studies.
How do you get away with that?
Well, he's been there for 40 years, probably 39 years too long, but he controls all the funding, so people are deathly afraid of him.
Researchers will not speak out.
Why have there not been other scientists?
I get letters from scientists all the time.
You can find them.
They're very distrustful of what he's saying.
They don't think he's making sense.
They don't think he's reading the science accurately, but they're afraid to speak out because many of them are university science, and they depend on NIH funds, and to cross him means it's the last money you'll ever get.
Yeah, where are all the heroes, man?
Where are the heroes?
Hey, the heroes are tied by the fact that they're destitute.
That's what happens with heroes.
You know, the sick thing is...
There's no heroes.
The sick thing is, you know, Dr.
David Martin, the USB bow tie guy...
Yeah.
Now, there's several good pieces of him explaining the money because, you know, really his knowledge and his role in this whole game is the patents and the payoffs.
And they were collecting patent data for a long time and he's gone down the rabbit hole and followed all of the money.
And he comes to a very different number that NIH slash Herr Fauci funded For gain-of-function research.
His number is a little bit higher.
Anthony Fauci has spent, listen to this number, $191 billion, not $3.7 million.
Not 30 million.
$191 billion of audited funds for the bioweaponization of viruses against humanity.
And it's your money that has been spent.
$191 billion.
And do you think you can get any agency or oversight body or any politician to even take that investigation on despite the fact that we have every grant recipient?
Every person, their address, their phone number, their laboratory, we literally have the entirety of where that money went.
And not a single investigation agency in this country is willing to look.
This is a bioweapons program designed to kill us.
We didn't need to have that.
We were already good with the number.
But you had to throw that in.
But, you know, that's a good point there.
It's like that...
No one wants to speak out.
People speak out.
You know who it is?
It's the nurse in the hospital who says, this is bullcrap.
I don't want to get vaccinated.
It was the...
Half the nurses at Mercy Hospital in Houston walked off the job because they didn't want to get vaccinated.
Got fired.
True heroes.
It's also some of the cops in France.
You know, they're not all beating the civilians.
A lot of them are turning around and walking with the civilians.
Heroes.
Who are the pussy-ass weak bitches?
It's the intellectuals.
But they're afraid for their own position in their own circles...
To speak up for their livelihood.
I understand.
I understand the fear of not having money, not paying rent.
You talk a big game about the homeless.
These people are going to shrivel up out of the loathing of themselves and die early because they're keeping all of this inside and are cowering and afraid.
So save yourself.
Become a hero.
Speak up.
You and I, we can't do much more.
And it was like, there's the old dudes.
Yeah, we're just two old dudes.
You can break the crap about that.
Playing clips.
Playing clips.
But it's really good.
It's a series.
It's old dudes.
This just in, just a quick break.
Federal Express, UPS, Airbnb, Delta Airlines, all reporting outages.
9-11 lines are down along the East Coast.
Fidelity, USAA, Home Depot, Southwest Airlines, Costco, some of Amazon's websites, Charles Schwab, Akamai, Ally, Discovery, DraftKings.
These could all be on one or two CDNs.
The Olympic Games website.
Akamai's in there.
That takes out half of it.
That takes out half of it, yeah.
And it could all just be Akamai.
So we don't know what it is, and most of these websites are working for me, so I don't know how factual this is.
If you're on the East Coast, maybe somebody in the chat room can give us a little insight.
The trolls could take a look.
In fact, you know what's a good idea?
While we're talking about them anyway, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man that put the C in Fauci's wheeze.
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr.
Jones.
Mr.
Adam Curry also in the morning to all ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
In the morning to the trolls in the troll room.
Yes, we need to count them.
Let's see how many we got.
Come on, trolls.
Hands up.
What are you doing?
All right, they're scurrying away, those horrible trolls.
Um, okay.
I did not get a count back from the trolls.
Ah, here we go.
1869.
It's good for a Thursday.
It's good!
It's slightly up.
Anything?
Yes.
Well, of course, everyone is just, it was just, couldn't wait to hear.
Delta.
Delta, Delta, Delta.
The boys are going to talk about the Delta.
Ah, my goodness.
My goodness, my goodness.
Those are the trolls in the troll room.
They are very important.
If you think trolls are just something that you're not supposed to feed, you're wrong.
Trolls are very key to this operation because they keep...
We do the show live, which is not something everybody feels like they want to do or maybe they're afraid of doing because it's not...
We make it look pretty easy.
People like to edit.
People like to be Phil Spector of podcasting.
But when you do it in real time, you can have the trolls, who are, of course, also producers, but on show days, they're under the bridge.
They can feedback stuff.
They can research stuff.
The one-liners are often good, and they never get credited for those.
It's fantastic to have them in here.
You heard how many there are.
Because one of the two of us steals the lines and uses them.
No, they're given to me as gifts.
As gifts, yeah?
Because I pay attention to them.
You keep calling the chat room.
They don't hear you when you say that.
Troll Room.
You can listen to the show live.
And when the show is not live, our show, there could be many other shows.
It's all across Gitmo Nation, including a podcast that roll out.
Everyone hears them at the same time.
It's a very, very fun place to be.
And we appreciate the work that they do.
Trollroom.io.
It's free to join.
And you can follow us at the best place.
And where No Agenda Nation lives is on Mastodon.
It's the Federated Social Network.
We have our own little outpost there called noagendasocial.com.
Now, even though we've kept our membership to a certain level, which I think is at 10,000, just to be able to handle the load, we're federating and we have many other...
Mastodon Service Federating.
So you can follow John C. Dvorak at NoAgendaSocial.com or Adam at NoAgendaSocial.com.
That'll open up the fire hose and you'll start getting all the other stuff and we also see it over at No Agenda Social.
I mean, you don't get the cool address, I understand, but you are participating in something much bigger and I think much more important.
And then we'd like to thank the creator, the producer of the artist for the episode artwork for episode 1365.
We titled that one Vaccine Poverty.
And this was one of the...
One of the better, I'd say, conceptual pieces that, I mean, it didn't have to have a concept.
It was just so obvious what was going on.
Darren O'Neill did this.
Good to see Darren with a win.
And it was the two waves, the COVID wave, and behind that, a much bigger and all-encompassing climate wave.
And I have to go back and see.
The art was kind of strange.
Yeah.
There was a lot of art for the last show.
And for those of you who are new, artists from all around Gitmo Nation listen to the show live on Thursdays and Sundays.
And they're coming up with artwork that reflects the show, reflects a topic in the show.
Sometimes it's unrelated.
It just makes sense.
Don't put the episode number in there because we can use them sometimes for other things.
And then we publish with brand new artwork, which very few, if it's a handful of podcasts, are able to do that, which, of course, is just another one of the fabulous benefits of the value-for-value model.
And I'm trying to see.
There was some pandas.
He had the panda Karl Marx stuff.
There was a lot of Woka-Cola and a lot of Coke jokes.
Yeah.
I didn't think much of those.
No, they didn't work very well.
I liked the bomber.
There was a cute bomber that, uh...
Who did this?
Oh, yes.
That was, uh...
Coob the Boob did.
That was cute.
I liked the looks of it.
Yeah.
I didn't quite get the gag.
Close.
It was close.
Uh...
Stay woke stuff.
Well, that was all.
The thing is that, you know, this came from the story about the Brits being very concerned that their cocaine that they're buying was ethnically sourced.
And so, of course, that's obvious.
Oh, I get it.
Okay.
Yes, that's right.
But then everyone's drawing, you know, okay, here's lines of coke that spell out woke.
You know?
Yeah, no good.
Yeah.
I also liked...
I did like one other piece.
Well, you liked the frozen pangolin.
I did like it, but it was rejected because it was too small.
You couldn't read anything on the box.
And the perspective on some of the lettering wasn't dynamite.
But I did like the frozen pangolin a lot.
There's just something funny about it.
I think that was kind of it, wasn't it?
No, that was kind of it.
Oh yeah, amygdala reduction.
I was drawn immediately to the piece by Darren.
Darren.
The amygdala reduction record card.
Yeah, that's not going to work.
It's too small also.
Well, you know...
Once again, we had the right piece.
It was in there.
And that's because we have the best artists in the universe.
And Darren O'Neill led the pack and was so appreciative of that.
And I want to say that just with everything that's going on and the more I see of what's happening in the media, I am so happy for Podcasting 2.0.
That doesn't mean me.
That means Eric Mackey.
It means Dave Jones.
It means Dreb Scott, you know, who's doing the chapters for our show to show how it's working.
But it really is a place where after you get kicked off everywhere, you can still be available and be available with even better features than anyone else is offering.
And eventually everyone's going to figure this out.
But I'm really, really thankful that we're able to do this.
And the artists are a big part of that.
Very big part of it.
And the value for value model?
Come on!
You and I would have been two broke dudes a long time ago if we relied on advertising.
Oh, yeah.
The advertising thing is only good for a while.
And they also push you around, tell you what to do.
We don't need that.
And we would have been dead from meetings.
Forget a job.
It's just like, I can't take another meeting with an advertiser.
No, I can't do it.
And so as a part of the value for value model, and actually this is a good time because these are times that I know that I'm going to remember this period of time in my life.
And everybody should at least once in their life, forget about knowing each other.
When you became an old dude.
Come out of my lap, kid, let me tell you.
Everybody in their life, regardless of what it is, should at least be an executive producer of something that you're proud of.
And I see this with the people who produce the No Agenda show, and of course we have executive producers and associate executive producers who we credit up front.
But when you get people like Patrick Wills from Weezer, putting that as an important part of his biography in an article about the band...
That's because he's proud.
He's done some other stuff, had a different band, done some songs.
But you know what?
I'm an executive producer of the No Agenda Show.
And we have a few that we'd like to thank today who understand the importance of that, not just for the show, but also for yourself moving forward in life.
It's good to have one.
This is near the end of the month, so it's time for Sir Anonymous.
Sir Anonymous, sorry.
Sir Anonymous of Dogpatch in Lower Slumovia.
Anonymous is back, yeah.
He's at the top of today's list.
Nice.
His number for this month is 1442.
So, for those who are not familiar, we're synonymous with Dogpatcher and Lower Slobovia.
We really don't know his true identity, the way he sent...
How did he send the funds today?
Was it in a check, money order, cash, gold doubloons...
It was cash from Orlando, Florida.
And he always sends it from somewhere else.
And we have yet to figure out the code in the donation amount.
It's different every time.
Either that or he's just fooling around.
Well, don't burst my bubble like that.
Well, I mean, it could be.
Let's see what these jokers think about this.
And he always emails us nice notes, but never addresses the code.
No.
Actually, yeah.
Well, these are hand...
It's an actual note printed.
But let's read it.
Ed Mubarak and...
Oh, Eid.
I'm sorry.
Eid.
Eid Mubarak.
And thank you for...
Eid celebration coming up.
And thank you for all the producers named and unnamed for doing the work and supporting independent thought, speech, and religion.
That would be...
Epitomized by our show.
My vax-nudist international travel continues.
He has proven the point that Adam has theorized a lot on this show, which is that you don't need the vaccination.
You can get by by just saying, I'm not going to get the vaccination, and then you get tested, and you're on your way.
My Vax nudist international travel continues, he writes, with countries relying on the growing PCR testing industry now 48 hours prior.
There's your answer why Bill Gates and what's-his-face bought the testing company.
It's a huge industry.
Vaccine status seems incidental since not all vaccines are approved in all places.
This is a problem, too.
Yes, that's what you couldn't get into the vaccines needed concert in New York if you had AstraZeneca.
That's right.
We had one of our producers bitch about that.
Are approved in all places and vaccine cards are not true verification for obvious reasons.
Yeah, they can be phonied up.
Mm-hmm.
Wow.
This is news.
I was delayed disembarking for an hour due to an international spat on a specific form from five passengers from the ongoing flights country.
It was between an EU and former EU country.
What's a former EU country?
Britain.
Britain.
Oh, duh.
Duh.
Yes, Britain.
Just prior to their Euro Cup final.
Ah, coincidence?
I think not.
This was the Euro Cup deal.
It's a bunch of fans trying to go from here to there.
Gotta love American justice.
Post-January 6th treatment of white Christian D.C. protesters is similar to post-9-11 American Muslim treatment that included extended incarceration.
The guy with the horns on his head is still in solitary confinement.
And suspension of habeas corpus.
Good point.
The sentence of a northern white police officer involved in the death of a black citizen looked like the type of sentence for a southern black man involved in the death of a white citizen.
It may not be fair, but it is American justice.
Two terms to watch.
Greenwashing.
The term used by Harvard graduate, Nobel laureate, and Grammy winner Al Gore towards firms such as Exxon that are using carbon credits outside his financial sphere.
In the 80s, we called it green mail.
Two, hydroelectric power.
John, the mudflags may grow.
Hydroelectric power projects have kept a literal ocean of water from reaching the oceans, and more projects are underway.
The seismic impact from the massive weight of the new lakes and these new bodies of water slowing the Earth's rotation are ignored!
For carbon credits.
Yeah, baby.
Finally.
By the way, the floods in China are not being reported on except for NTD. Oh, my God.
People drowning in the subway.
It's crazy.
It's unbelievable.
And what an opportunity.
Everything's fine.
What an opportunity to say climate change and no one's saying anything about it.
They can't say anything because the Chinese won't let them.
Finally, dear IRS, my producer funds are just an advertising gimmick and a complete fantasy.
Do not count any of my producer funds as income for John and Adam.
It's filthy cash anyway, not real money.
Please refund the full amount of anything they may have reported from my producer advertising gimmick.
John and Adam, do you think that will work?
Answer, no.
No jingles, no karma.
You know, I gotta say something about this.
He must be in Florida.
He's in a good mood.
He's in a very good mood.
Now, him talking about the American Muslim treatment after 9-11.
So, when Sir Gene was here, we took a ride up the road.
There's the Pacific War Museum.
World War II Pacific War Museum in Fredericksburg.
And Admiral Nimitz was a part of the museum.
He was important in that battle.
And he was born in Fredericksburg.
And, you know, I still have that Japanese thing I'd like to give away that my grandfather brought back, the thing we don't talk about.
You know what I'm talking about?
Yeah, I know what you're talking about.
Because I'd like to donate it, and so it's a good home, and then it's off my books.
I'm not just keeping this thing in the closet.
It's something cool.
So we decided to go look.
I learned a lot, and what I did not know is after Pearl Harbor, what is the story we heard about Japanese Americans?
They're interned in internment camps.
They're rounded up.
Where?
Where?
Mostly in the West Coast.
Yes.
They have a map and it's the exclusion zone.
This was only in Washington State, California.
It was all the West Coast.
They've always been racists.
Oh, yeah.
The West Coast?
Totally.
I thought this was all around America.
No.
No.
And the map shows that old exclusion zone.
No Japs here.
Racist California.
We had the same run-in with the Chinese earlier on.
And the Irish, but I don't know if that was also...
No, the Irish is pretty much East Coast.
That was for the East Coast bigots.
But I didn't know that.
I thought that all of America, like, we rounded them up everywhere.
No, it was the West Coast.
Interesting.
Well, thank you very much, Seronomous of Dogpatch and Lower Slobovia.
Always.
And good to have you in a good mood.
It's nice.
Appreciate that.
And now we have Brian Malinowski.
And I don't know where Brian is from.
He is apparently from the United States.
1367.
Now this would be...
Do you think this is a show donation for the next show?
It might be.
It might be he just jumped the gun because sometimes these donations come in just a little early.
Well, I'm going to give it to him today anyway.
We can always carry over for 1367.
In the morning, gentlemen, I was working my way up to night with smaller donations when, while listening to show 1364, received news of a windfall of sorts and knew it was time to give back more value to the show.
Just a short and sweet note with a question for each of you.
John, I was watching Succession for the third time and noticed the scene where Connor was talking about hyper decanting his wine.
I looked it up and it's actually an aeration technique.
Can you attest to whether or not hyper decanting actually helps with flavors?
Well, there's a couple of devices out there that aerate the wine when you pour it.
It's like a funnel, and it's got a little swirly thing inside it, and it really splashes the wine when you're putting it in a decanter.
Aerating wine, not all wine, but certain wines that are meant to be aged, Do benefit from aeration and breathing.
It's called...
If you decant them...
Let me tell you a couple ways of doing this.
You can decant it.
I'm decanting my wine.
And let it sit there for a couple hours and then drink it.
Some wines can be sat down for like 24 hours.
Most of them don't hang in there.
But some of them actually improve.
I think the device is a gimmick.
And I think you want to really aerate the wine a lot.
Pour it in a decanter and then put a funnel on the bottle and pour the decanter into the bottle and then drink from the bottle and you get the thing.
It should be aerated enough using that technique.
You know, it's interesting because I recall back in the day when we were able, you know, we would do restaurant wine reviews on the show and we had the company pay for it.
That was cool.
Remember those days?
Yeah, that was when we were working at Mevio.
It was good times.
It was very good times.
I remember you specifically, you know, someone said, oh, she had decanthus.
I don't remember which...
Which wine that was, but I remember you specifically saying, eh, it's bullcrap, the decanting.
It was the wine.
There's a lot of wine.
Most of the time, it's bullcrap.
And when they're taking some simple, especially a young wine or something, and they're going through a lot, well, young wines should be decanted if they're high-end wines, but these are just wines that you buy at a restaurant that are In the under $100 range, because we never really spent a lot of money on wine.
It was a waste of money.
No, you wouldn't let me.
They come out, they want to make a big, ugh, they can't, they want to do this, you want to do that.
No!
You're full of crap.
Just put it on the table and we'll drink from the bottle.
Well, I mean, not directly, but we don't need to go through this phony bologna rigmarole that they do at a lot of restaurants.
Unnecessarily so for wines that don't really deserve it.
I remember you was like, no, you can't get anything over 80 bucks as a rip-off.
I was like, but look, I've got the company credit card.
Let's have some good food.
Let me do the next two.
Nova, oh wait, I have to do a jingle there, Karma for our buddy.
You've got Karma.
For our buddy Brian, Karma for all No Agenda producers.
Nova Fadley from Oklahoma City.
$1,000.
I have a short note for you guys.
If that's it, it's a very short note.
Did you receive anything else?
No, I can't find anything from a Nova.
And he's not using donation in the subject line.
I don't know where this note is.
I looked too.
I did not find it.
So send it to us, Nova.
Thank you very much.
You may be a knight or a dame.
Who knows?
Then we have Joseph DiVaniero.
Diverniero, 355-34.
Place parts unknown in the United States.
In the morning, Adam and John, this note is a bit overdue, but after listening since Adam's first appearance on the Joe Rogan experience, I have finally donated enough to be a knight.
See you counting below.
Please knight me Sir Joey D. the Transplant New Yorker.
For the round table, I request Tortellini Alfredo with a glass of Peroni.
You guys, Mofax and DH Unplugged, have all helped me to keep sane in these crazy times.
The twice-weekly sanity check in You Guys Provide Me has improved my critical thinking skills.
Your grammar has gone backwards.
It encouraged me to get off the face bag and on to no agenda social.
And honestly, it helped me to improve my relationship with my parents versus when in college and under the mainstream mind control and peer pressure from friends.
Wow.
That's huge.
I'm sorry for burying the lead, but you guys also potentially saved my life.
Here we go.
This is a cold read, by the way.
We have no idea what's coming.
I was already leery of getting the vaccine, but after John read the ingredients in the Moderna vaccine, it might have been Pfizer.
That was a while ago.
That must have been about a year ago, don't you think?
No, no, not a year ago.
No, the vaccine came out.
When it first came out, right.
So six months ago.
I found out that I have hereditary fructose intolerance, so I can't have fructose, sucrose, or sorbitol.
And when John said sucrose is an ingredient, I was ecstatic!
I was already nervous because back in the beginning of the scandemic when they said if you have severe allergies, don't get the vaccine, which allergies and the severity of them was never defined, super scientific.
So after getting that info from John, I decided to reach out to my pediatrician.
He said he would only recommend...
Pediatrician.
How old is Joseph, do you think?
He's 11.
He said he would only recommend I take the vaccine if I took a vaccine as a child with sucrose in it, and even then I should only get the COVID vaccine under strict administrative control.
When I asked my physician, she basically had no idea what to suggest, agreed with my pediatrician's recommendation, and said she thinks it's fine.
I don't get the vaccine since I am a healthy adult with no comorbidities.
I could only imagine the world where I didn't listen to no agenda, went and got the vaccine at a CVS or something, and the administrator's response when I had a reaction from the vaccine, honestly, I think I would have gone into a diabetic shock and probably died because they would have been unsure of what to do and never would have put two and two together with my allergy.
One reason for my delay is I reached out to get my medical records from childhood, and they are a joke.
It does tell me which vaccines I took, but not who the manufacturer of the vaccine was.
But also my smoking hot Brazilian girlfriend moved recently, and she lives in Unit 333.
So I knew it was time to donate.
Sorry for the long note, but I'm not joking when I say you guys saved my life, and that I'm just grateful.
Could I please have some relationship karma?
Love and let...
Well, Joseph...
We can't take credit for it.
You saved your own life, possibly.
You make your own decisions.
That's the most important thing, is that you're no longer in control of other people.
You decide what you want to do, and that's what it should be.
You've got karma.
But he had a couple other requests.
Oh, he had some jingles.
Yes, he did.
He wanted Afternoon Delight, Bill& Ted 69, Noodle Gun, Cancel Cannon, and a go.
Sky Rockets in flight!
Woo!
Afternoon Delight!
69!
69, dudes!
I'm gonna shoot you in the face with my Noodle Gun, you racist piece of shit.
I got my pasta Glock locked and loaded.
Yikes.
Yikes.
I never heard that one.
Which one?
Tim White's next.
333.33.
And he needs to be knighted to Sir Tim of the House White.
Thank you to Baron Austin of the Snowy Cascades and his lovely Dame Laura for hitting me in the mouth in 2017.
I haven't missed an episode since.
Two quick points.
One, hacks like SolarWinds are partially the fault of the government preference and substantial reliance on COTS software packages, C-O-T-S. Hmm.
spend over $500 million on a failed SAP implementation that all the dudes named Ben said was destined to fail.
COTS software doesn't allow the configurability and control necessary to fit the nonsensical requirements of the government or the ability to inspect source code to prevent the inclusion of subversive code like what was implanted in solar winds with solar winds.
Yeah, he said Ian.
If the left were smart, they would stop pushing the vaccine.
That was point one.
Point two.
If the left were smart...
Well, they would stop pushing the vaccine, throw the gates wide open to human interaction, thus allowing all the Republicans who are unvaccinated to get infected and die off, thus increasing...
This has been discussed before, by the way, this idea.
Thus increasing their stranglehold on our government.
The fact that they aren't taking this approach indicates a lack of vision...
And or a short-term focus on using COVID to spend without regard at the taxpayer's expense.
And this kind of falls apart.
Please play Sleepy Joe jingle, a random Sharpton, and an R2D2 karma for everybody, for all the listeners.
Love is lit.
The GOP infighting is escalating.
Political says Democrats are outright jitty.
Happy to watch the GOP implode.
You've got...
Karma.
The Rev, the Rev, the Rev.
What do we have here?
This is from Denise Barr.
Did I read this one?
Yeah, you got a note there, I think.
Yes, I do.
I was hit in the mouth.
This is a typed and printed note that came in, which is very nice.
It's readable.
It's always fun.
The number is 333.33 for her.
Yes.
I was hit in the mouth by my oldest human resource, Alex, who was 35 back in April of 2020, and I'd like to call him out as a douchebag.
Douchebag!
That's what we do with kids around here.
Absolutely.
Good for you.
What are you going to do?
A thousand grateful thanks for guiding me through this past year and a half by the slew of despondency.
You've helped me with the anger that I feel when I listen to all the corruption and lies by the lying media.
My battle is rheumatoid arthritis, and after listening to show 1534, I agree totally.
If it wasn't for edibles, this body that is turning 66 August 4th would be suffering more.
Woo!
Yeah, we're all good with edibles.
I'm from Calgary, Alberta, Scandinavia, also known as the Wild West.
Unfortunately, more and more progressive liberals are sprouting up here in the West like stinky weed.
I call them that here too.
Stinky weed.
By the way, us old folks and Christian conservatives can't stand the baby-faced, China-lover, communist, Marxist prime minister.
We can't tolerate looking at him or hearing him talk.
At least with Biden, you can laugh at him.
Ha!
We laugh a lot about your guy, too.
Please de-douche me.
You've been de-douched.
And that's in Scandinavian dollars, but we accept those, and we appreciate it.
We do that with any form of dollary-do's.
And she furthermore requests Spooky Donate, Donate by John.
Coincidence, I think not.
And Don't Eat Me, Bo Jiden.
Donate!
You knew me!
Coincidence?
I think not.
Don't eat me, Bojaitin.
You're scary.
So scary.
Don't eat me, Bojaitin.
Now we have Margaret...
Margaret...
Margretha.
Margretha E. Demhood.
This is a person in Orangevale, California.
Sent you a note.
Mm-hmm.
And while you go look for that, I'll read the next one.
I looked.
There is nothing from Margareta.
I wish there was.
You know what?
It's always a good idea to send a copy to notes at noagendashow.net.
Notes, N-O-T-E-S. At noagendashow.net.
It's just good policy.
Just put it on the CC. You know what?
Just put it on the CC. One person, I think, did that in this particular show.
Tim DiNardo, another...
I'm encouraging it.
I'm encouraging safety.
Yes, and it should be encouraged.
It's a good idea.
Stay safe.
Stay safe.
333 in Cedar, Minnesota.
No note.
That's findable from him.
I'll look again.
I'll continue.
With Steve Bandstra in Nashville, Tennessee.
333.
In the morning, fellas.
Last week, I sent Adam an email in regard to a show segment talking about the numerous flight cancellations in June.
In the email, I made what I thought was a humorous comment about drinking flight attendants.
Well, turns out that my smoking hot drinking flight attendant wife saw the email and did not appreciate my humor.
So now I must make things right.
Please fumble Ruski this donation to Jessica.
In other words, she's going to get the credit.
And make her the executive producer jingle.
Please give her a That's True, which is her favorite.
Thanks.
Now, I think, first of all, when you make a fumble Ruski like that, Executive producer may not cut it, but we'll see.
Flowers.
Flowers and executive producer will help.
Second, I forget who it was, someone was very kind enough to send me that actual football play of the Fumble Ruski that you were explaining on the last show.
What a dynamite play!
It's a dynamite play, and they banned it.
Yeah, but it was...
I mean, the camera, the TV cameras didn't even catch it.
They're like, what the hell happened?
No, it's impossible.
It's such a crazy play that nobody ever catches it.
It was beautiful.
The TV guys.
And so the play goes off, the football's sitting there, everyone's doing all kinds of things they're supposed to be doing, they think they're doing, and then somebody just picks up the ball and runs up the field.
It's a hilarious play.
And you can only run it, I think when Cal, Cal was the one that used it the most.
And they would run it about...
Maybe out of, I think there was 12 games in their season, something like that, they would run it maybe three times, maybe two times a whole year.
Because you can't do, you can't make it so you're doing it every year because people will be on the lookout for that one guy just looking down.
Then you just lose the ball.
That was great.
That was great.
So Jessica, this is for you.
That's true.
There you go.
He loves you.
You know he does.
At La Versa from Charles City, Virginia, 248-43.
No note that we could find.
Sir Rocketman, Baron of the Bay.
Now, this is our second associate executive producer, but you've got to be one at least once in your life from St.
Louis Bay?
No, no, you have to be an executive producer once in your life.
According to Brunetti, associate executive producers are looked down upon.
What the hell?
Yeah.
He said that he was still irked by the fact that he accidentally became an associate executive producer.
Yeah, he is.
It's true.
Okay.
And he's from Hollywood.
He's a Hollywood guy.
So Sir Rocketman Baron of the Bay supports the show with 227.85.
Happy, happy birthday to my stunningly gorgeous wife, Sarah Cozy, on the 22nd in R2-D2 Karma for All.
And he says 73s, Sir Rocketman Baron of the Bay, Kilo Golf 5, Zulu Foxtrot Alpha 73s, Kilo 5, Alpha Charlie Charlie.
You've got...
Karma...
Adam Ziegler's next at $217.22.
Thanks to C-Mike.
I'm sorry, I think we missed Stephen Walsh.
Did we?
Yeah.
Oh.
Okay, I'll do Stephen.
Stephen Walsh.
Walsh.
2222.
ITM John and Adam, my Uncle Pete from Chattanooga, hit me in the mouth almost a year ago now in my smoking hot fiancé, and I have been listening regularly ever since.
Not only do you provide an unbiased, unsponsored analysis of what's going on in the world, you do it in an incredibly entertaining, original, and authentic way.
You're both hilarious!
And have a truly incredible energy that you spread to millions of listeners with each episode.
Please accept this token of appreciation at 222.22, which also happens to be my smoking hot fiancé's spirit number.
Ooh!
Spirit number.
A theremin, please?
Theremin?
I don't have the theremin.
I've got to hook it up again.
No.
No, not your theremin, the theremin clip.
Oh, you mean the phony theremin, not the real deal?
Well, of course we got that.
It's a real theremin.
That's a dedication to your spirit number.
Alright.
We're also starting a monthly sustaining donation, which I highly recommend to all listeners.
Yes, thank you.
We are both New Orleans musicians, and although most gigs here also pay us a percentage of the bar, on the West Coast they call it a piece of the door.
A large portion of our income comes from tips.
So in a sense, we also make our money from value for value.
Yes, obviously.
Can I just make a suggestion right there?
Sure.
You and I, I think, both have found that if you...
So a lot of bands will have a tip jar.
Do something different.
Maybe just put value for value on it and see what happens.
I think when you ask someone, hey, give me a tip, you're always going to get less money unless you say, yeah, what was the show worth?
Try it.
Let us know.
Try the real value for value.
Okay, if you're going to start testing, because we want the results of these tests.
We do want the results.
We do want to know if this works, yes.
Test that and also test a little sign in front with an arrow pointing at the tip jar and the sign says, love.
Wow, okay, that's a good test.
Because donating is love.
Donating is love, yes.
We used to do that occasionally.
I think we have a jingle for it.
Yes, we do.
My God, we're so good.
Here we go.
Your brain...
Wait, here's the jingle.
What is that?
Donating is love.
Great jingle.
Alright, sorry I interrupted that.
We're so good.
We are both New Orleans musicians that go on.
We also make our money from the Valuable Value System, which means it's even more shame to say that this is my first donation, so I'm in desperate need of a de-douche.
You've been de-douched.
And he said, you also love if we give a shout-out to the band, and I actually looked this band up.
Oh, good.
You have to read the next line.
I'd also love if you guys would give a shout-out for my band, which will be going on tour for the next couple of weeks, to Atlanta, New York, Cleveland, Chicago, and a couple of places in between.
If any listeners are in those areas and want to check out some New Orleans jazz, follow me at SuperSteve95 at NoAgendaSocial.com.
That's SuperSteve95 at NoAgendaSocial.com.
Or my website, SteveWalchMusic, W-A-L-C-H, SteveWalchMusic.com.
To see our detailed tour schedule.
It might be a fun meet-up to organize.
Anyways, can I please get a heavenly fart?
Oops, I forgot to bring the fart.
I think I got a fart here.
Yep, we got the heavenly fart and some goat karma.
Peace, love, and light, because love is lit.
Thank you guys for all you do.
Before we begin, let's pray.
Let's pray.
Heavenly farts.
You've got...
Always a riot.
Karma.
So the band is a classic New Orleans jazz band with a lot of original material and done in that style.
And Walsh is a stand-up bass player.
Boom.
So, I think we can add him to the virtual band that we put together.
Adam Ziegler, 21722.
Thanks to C... And don't know where Adam's from.
Thanks to C-Mike, Dame Blackhammer, and Sirs Matt and Mike from Mancoqueta.
I'm sure I'm doing it wrong.
For the donation last show for the birth of my 11th human resource.
Yes!
Unbelievable.
Great job.
It was a great surprise.
And that read from U2 had us rolling.
I love how you guys say, It's actually, But your way seems better and I think it needs to stay that way.
I was missed during the nighting ceremony.
Oh no.
I probably had to step out for a bit to run after a human resource.
Sir goes to 11, has a nice ring to it.
I can't wait to shine my ceilings.
I would like to request some breast milk and bottles at the round table.
And since I plan to bring number 11 along to help my smoking hot wife get some rest.
All right.
The 21722 donation is to help see Mike along back on his journey to knighthood.
Jingles, boogity boogity for my smoking hot wife.
Mac and cheese by Ayn Rand.
And Rubbalizer, thanks for all you do.
Adam Siegler of Rock Island.
Kilo Delta Alpha India Echo 73.
Mac and Cheese by Ayn Rand.
India, tango, mic, stand by, 33, 33, 33, rubbleizer, out.
You've got karma.
David Conway from Parts Unknown comes in with $203 with a very short note saying, Don't be a dick, JCD.
What did you do?
I don't know.
Something.
Yeah, rough.
Yeah, rough.
Harsh.
You guys are rough.
Truly harsh.
All right.
Onward with, I guess we'll do...
No, that guy's name is actually Dick.
Dick.
All right, let me see.
Let me get Dick's note here.
Dick Monda.
I got the note.
You got the note?
Okay.
Yeah, Dick Monda.
Actual note.
Actual paper.
Location unimportant, Dick says.
You guys still rule.
In the times I've been listening to your podcast, they're laying down...
What does this sentence mean?
Okay.
You guys still rule.
In the time I've been listening to your podcast, there's no doubt that the value I get is my donations.
I guess something comes through on the thing.
The value I get my donation.
Okay, well, I'm not sure what he's trying to get at there.
But hey, I give when I can and hopefully it will be even out in the future as I seek my knighthood and beyond.
I selfishly hope that none of your exit strategies are successful until such a time that he gets his knighthood.
It's all about him.
The donation of $200.33 marks my first appearance on the first donation segment.
Yeah, it's true.
Although, there are some jingles I would like.
I would rather you not read this letter and go...
No, you're kidding me.
I like where you put that at the end.
We did this cold, by the way, so if you want to have some fun with us, you can do this.
Some people try to sneak in their entire restaurant menu for us to read, and others just say, oh, by the way, don't read this at the end.
Do not read this letter and go straight to giving a douchebag.
Well, he's cutting to the chase.
Okay, good.
We can't do anything about not reading the letter, which you're really not worried about.
Give a douchebag call out to Albert the Homo.
Douchebag!
Where's Dick from?
Jersey?
He hit me in the mouth.
He doesn't say.
Location's unimportant.
He hit me in the mouth since the episodes were in the 500s, if not the 400s, and he has never seen fit to donate.
I appreciate him telling me about the show, but he is very deserving of the call-out.
Can you also include him on the birthday list?
Oh, yay!
I get to say it, too.
Okay.
So you can put him on.
He's the Saturdays.
He's going to be 48 years old, he thinks.
So if you put on the list, Albert the homo is 48.
Yes.
Well, I didn't keep the envelope, which would have his stamp where it came from.
So, yeah, Jersey sounds right.
Thanks, Dick.
We have $200 from Sir Robert of the Laurel Highlands from Greenberg, Pennsylvania.
I don't know if there's nothing I see here.
I don't know if he sent in a note.
I don't see one.
And then finally, our last associate executive producer from Las Vegas, Nevada, Steve Weiss, no stranger to the show, $200.
John Adam here is nearly the last of that sweet government cheese.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
On our way to knighthood.
Cases, cases, cases.
That's all I've been hearing here in Vegas.
Shout out to John as he's been on comedy fire these last few shows.
Comedy fire!
Burning up the place.
It is true.
I mean, above all, this show really is a comedy show.
I mean, let's be honest about it.
It's always been your theory.
But only for each other.
I don't know how to make an audience laugh.
If I can make you laugh, it's been a good show.
That's how I view it.
Yeah.
I would agree with you.
It would be a good show if you can do that.
That's what I mean, ladies and gentlemen, right there.
That is the comedy gold.
He's on fire!
Thank you to these associate executive producers and executive producers for episode 1366 of the No Agenda Show.
We asked for three things.
One of three, minimum time, talent, treasure...
You see how much goes into it.
This project is running because of you, the producers.
We have the best in the world.
We have more than anybody else.
And I think we create a better quality product.
And everything is much more evenly distributed.
Adam and John are not taking three months off in the summer to go to Sag Harbor and hang out with the elites.
So, I think it's an all-round good system.
If you'd like to participate, become an executive producer, everybody should be one at least once.
Go to dvorak.org slash N-A. And we thank all of you collectively for producing 1366 of the No Agenda Show.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Order!
Order!
Shut up, slave!
Shut up, slave!
All you know what's interesting this morning is you did not have a single Biden clip.
Yeah?
I mean, it's hard.
I was surprised.
Oh.
Because typically, even...
Well, okay.
There's a couple things.
First of all, the one clip which I almost forgot to even play myself.
You know, we had a little disagreement on the previous episode.
I actually have that clip, so you're not quite completely accurate.
You have what clip?
I have the clip of mine talking about Facebook.
I knew that you would never, you would never rescind.
I knew you would never concede to this.
If you're like, look man, you were right, John was wrong.
I said, you have no idea.
He will not concede.
Just because there's no reason to concede.
Okay, lay it on me.
This is the Facebook killing people clarification on PBS and even Judy...
Admits that Biden said that Facebook was killing people.
Was that an argument?
Yeah.
No.
Oh, really?
No.
I said Biden had a brain freeze, and what he was supposed to say, he messed up.
That's what I said.
That's all that I said.
And then you had a supposition that he's actually meant something else.
My argument was no.
He had a moment of clarification.
He had a clear mind.
And he said what he said.
And that's what everybody else thinks.
Well, can we at least agree that he got called on the mat and had to go apologize because Facebook is more powerful than the president?
I would say somebody called him on the mat, and the apology was...
And the way he did the apology, which was kind of...
I believe we had...
I'm going to call this a draw.
Because of the way he phrased the apology.
The way he said it was almost as though he's admitting to having the brain freeze, but he didn't have the brain freeze.
He's just kind of, I'm not going to, because people, Horowitz brought this up on the show.
He says, I don't know, I kind of agree with you, but I can see there's an impasse and blah, blah, blah.
And so let's play this clip and then we can continue the conversation.
President Biden has toned down his claim that Facebook is killing people by letting lies about COVID-19 stay up.
He made the accusation on Friday, and the company quickly rejected it.
Today, the president said it's the users who are posting the false claims who are doing the damage.
Anyone listening to it is getting hurt by it.
It's killing people.
It's bad information.
My hope is...
That Facebook, instead of taking it personally, that somehow I'm saying Facebook is killing people, that they would do something about the misinformation.
Later, the White House said it is not in a war with Facebook, but with the virus.
Now, may I play one clip?
So you're not going to let this sit?
No, no.
I'm not saying anything.
Will you take the draw?
Fine, draw.
I don't give a shit.
I just want to play the whole thing.
It was more interesting than that because the apology...
Do you remember what the event was that he was speaking when he gave this apology?
No, of course not.
No one does.
No.
Because it was a phony baloney setup.
Oh, he's going to talk about infrastructure.
And then he, and it was, yeah, blah, blah, infrastructure.
Then the first question out of the gate is this.
And he actually said, I'll take some questions.
Yo, what's her name?
Allison over there.
Your question.
You said last week that companies and platforms like Facebook are killing people by letting this happen.
Let me read precisely what I said.
I'm glad you asked me that question.
Okay, so when he says, I'm glad you asked me that question, that was the setup.
The only thing I think...
Yeah, of course.
He's admitted already.
We've heard this.
There's a clip of him.
I have a...
They tell me who to call on, when to call on them.
They.
I don't know who they are.
Right.
So let's just play the whole thing so you just can...
So it's a scam to begin with.
Yeah, of course it is.
I think it was more of an apology than you heard there in Judy's clip.
That's all.
One, I had just read that on the Facebook, it was pointed out that Facebook, of all the misinformation, 60% of the misinformation came from 12 individuals.
That's what the article said.
So I was asked that question about, what do I think is happening?
Facebook isn't killing people.
These 12 people are out there giving misinformation.
Anyone listening to it is getting hurt by it.
It's killing people.
It's bad information.
My hope is that Facebook, instead of taking it personally, somehow I'm saying Facebook is killing people, that they would do something about the misinformation, the outrageous misinformation about the vaccine.
That's what I meant.
So, the piece that's interesting in here is about the disinformation dozen, which is exactly what I said he was talking about.
A draw.
Yeah, all of them banned from Facebook, but we would ignore that.
It's a draw.
I don't give a shit.
Let's talk about the disinformation dozen.
I'm moving beyond.
So, this is very important to everybody about the disinformation dozen.
And we went down the list.
It's Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
There's a couple of different people.
Which, by the way, I will say, and I'll say it again, I said it before, putting Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is an extreme leftist...
He's a lefty, but he's extremely thorough about his research on vaccines.
It's a crying shame that they would put him on this at all, but okay.
And he came into the vaccination world not as an anti-vaxxer, but because of mercury, which was his foundation's original mission was to get mercury out of waters and out of fish.
But where does this come from, the dirty disinformation?
This is what's interesting.
So, this is what the President of the United States has this disinformation dozen, and they're the ones that are killing people.
Which, by the way, is pretty defamatory.
I have a feeling that you might have a lawsuit.
You can't sue the president, but still, it's pretty messed up when someone's saying that.
This comes from a report from an outfit called the Center on Countering Digital Hate.
You'll hear it mentioned once in a while.
Someone will mention that name.
They are the ones that put together this report, and they are the ones that have named the 12 people who are the disinformation dozen.
And this Center on Countering Digital Hate was started in 2018.
They go after climate change deniers, anti-Semites, anti-vaxxers, neo-Nazis.
It was set up and directed by Imran Ahmet, a Brit.
Who also happens to be on the steering committee for the Commission for Countering Extremism, which is, gee, an agency of the British government established by Theresa May in 2017 in the wake of the Manchester bombing with Ariana Grande.
So what they're doing now, the United States president is taking a British document from the British government accusing American citizens and he's saying that they are killing people.
What up?
Good find.
I mean, it's not okay.
No, it's not.
He should be defending Americans.
Don't you think?
Yeah, you think so.
Yeah, he should be defending Americans, especially against British smears.
Yeah.
So, you know, the whole thing is...
Well, the lawsuit is right there.
I mean, you can, because of the libel laws and slander laws in the UK, they're very easy to use to make money.
Oh, yeah.
But, you know, have you heard about the latest changes that are taking place in the UK? Journalists now could face up to 14 years in prison if they write stories that embarrass the government.
Embarrass!
The government, under proposed changes to the Official Secrets Act, which would then, in effect, treat them as foreign spies.
That's not going to go through.
Yeah?
Well, I don't know.
The Smith-Month Act was also wiped from the books.
Yeah, but the Smith-Month Act was just a smokescreen.
They took it down because they were already propagandizing the public.
They've been doing it for years.
I've always felt the Smith-Munt Act is a tempest in a teapot.
It doesn't mean anything one way or the other.
Yeah, okay, they took it down.
Now they're lying to us.
They've been lying to us as the Gulf of Tompkins.
So, as an example of something that would not be allowed and could embarrass the government is the following story that ran from a funeral director in the UK. Let me see.
John...
Can I guess what's going on?
Can I make a guess here?
Sure.
They're finally revealing the fact that the royal family are actually reptilians?
And they don't want to let this out?
No, no, no.
So this is, here he is.
As a funeral director, I commented in a COVID video comment section telling people exactly what my experience was firsthand during the pandemic last year.
The death rate last year was totally normal.
In fact, it was a little down on 2019.
And towards Christmas, many of my colleagues were actually turning their fridges off because there just wasn't enough people dying.
But wait for it.
We began vaccinating on January 6th locally here, and the death rate went through the roof, and almost immediately within the same week for three months, I've never known a death rate like this in 15 years as an undertaker.
So these are the kinds of stories that could be embarrassing to the government.
Wow.
It's a great story, by the way.
It's a great story.
We need to hear, I'm sure, tell me we don't have some undertakers in Gitmo Nation.
I know you're out there.
I know you're out there.
We've got at least a dozen.
We'd love to hear something from you.
It can be anonymous if you so wish.
And the last thing before we do anything else, John McAfee has a Telegram channel.
Which he's always had.
It's an official MAC feed channel.
And I've been following it.
And we saw screenshots and then it showed up on his Telegram channel when he apparently was suicided.
There was a countdown clock.
Well, that countdown clock, we're now in the final 24 hours.
In fact, there's about 19 hours left.
And there's all these posts coming through.
I have opened the floodgates.
31 terabyte AES encrypted.
Epstein archive.
Tango down.
It's just all these references to...
Let's see...
Gates Pass, Rylan, CIA Top Brass, anything, everything, analysts.
I mean, it's kind of like telegramal uppercase style, very weird.
Uranium One, Rassaton, Burisma, Kapt, Epstein, Clinton, Bush, Mujahideen, Al-Qaeda, the database, broken arrow on all foreign CIA agents.
I have no idea what this means.
It may be completely nothing, if anything, a good joke for McAfee from beyond the grave.
But who knows?
The White Rabbit posted front and center.
So, in other words, there's a dead man switch.
Could be.
Which was activated.
That was the thinking, yeah.
And the activation will include a reveal of all kinds of horrible things that should normally go to Wikipedia, but Wikipedia has been denutted if you go to the webpage.
They've got nothing going on because they just don't have anything going on.
It's been shuttered for all practical purposes.
Yeah, and they're killing Julian Assange slowly.
Yeah, it's a slow death.
And so this is, okay, well, we'll see.
I think there's probably nothing that's going to come of it.
But I like the idea.
Yeah, I'm just reporting on it.
You know, you can at least report on it.
Just back to Biden for a second.
There was one piece that he did a town hall with Don Lemon yesterday.
And, I mean, it was like shooting fish in a barrel if you want a confused old man trying to figure out what he's doing up there, which was sad.
But this one 45-second clip, truth wants to come out from beginning to end of things, almost like Fauci, another old man, Fauci, the minute he's put under pressure saying, hey, you know, did you fund gain-of-function research?
I didn't kill those people!
I mean, that's basically what went down there, right?
It summarizes it better than the media did.
You're kind of showing your cards there.
Well, something happened with, I think, President Biden as well.
I sometimes get myself in trouble for what I'm about to say.
Okay, I sometimes get myself in trouble for what I'm about to say.
Yeah, he uses this little meme every so often.
It's very important that he used it in this context.
I sometimes get myself in trouble for what I'm about to say.
Not that I ever get in trouble.
As you've heard me say before, no one ever doubts I mean what I say.
The problem is I sometimes say all that I mean.
Okay, so he's going to be really truthful, wouldn't you say?
If he's saying that, that means, here it comes, the biggest truth.
Or, I think any psychologist would say, or psychiatrist, wow, maybe a whopper of a lie.
I don't know.
But it's important that he says, I'm telling the truth here.
And I mean this.
I'm sincere.
I'm Joe.
As opposed to all the rest of the time.
As opposed to all the bullshit you tell every other second.
But all kidding aside, I have faith in the American people.
Okay, that's good.
I really do to ultimately get to the right place.
And by the way, many times Republicans are in the right place.
I don't mean that it's only a Democratic point of view.
But some of the stuff...
I mean, QAnon.
The idea that the Democrats or the Biden is hiding people and sucking the blood of children and doing...
No, I'm serious.
That's...
Now, you may not like me, and that's your right.
I mean...
So, no one ever said...
QAnon does not say we're sucking the blood out of babies.
I think the bastardization of the pedophile meme...
It was bastardized by...
When Trump did that open air, one of his last question and answer things, it was...
I can't remember who was forced to ask him the questions.
And then it went also not from politicians and elites.
It was Democrats, which I don't think has ever been anything.
Oh, it's only the Democrats.
No, it's never been like that.
And the Democrats are pedophiles.
Pedophiles, we've heard that.
But why does Biden come out and say that Democrats or the Bidens are sucking blood out of children?
What is wrong, I mean, just from a communication strategy, and then to end it up by saying, hey, you may not like me, but you know, I'm going to go suck that baby's blood.
This is the most bizarre thing I've ever heard this man say.
And I'd like to play it one more time without interruption, just so we can take it all in.
I sometimes get myself in trouble for what I'm about to say.
Not that I ever get in trouble.
As you've heard me say before, no one ever doubts I mean what I say.
The problem is I sometimes say all that I mean.
But all kidding aside, I have faith in the American people.
I really do to ultimately get to the right place.
And by the way, many times Republicans are in the right place.
I don't mean that it's only a Democratic point of view.
But some of the stuff, I mean, QAnon.
The idea that the Democrats or the Biden is hiding people and sucking the blood of children.
No, I'm serious.
Now, you may not like me, and that's your right.
I don't know, man.
You know, Adrenochrome, yeah.
By the way, if Adrenochrome is true, that it's the fountain of youth, then Nancy Pelosi's got a whole kindergarten in her basement.
I can't believe how her face looks for her age.
She's had so many operations that they accumulated all the different clippings and made another Nancy Pelosi.
Ha ha!
I have some experience in plastic surgery, and this is really good work if it's all plastic surgery.
There's a lot of makeup, too.
Yeah, that's true.
But still, holy macaroni.
So, anyway, that's just like, wow, okay, okay, President.
I don't know, why even bring that in?
Why even say that?
Why at all?
Who cares?
All it does is conjures up...
Oh, it makes it worse.
Yes!
I mean, isn't that almost...
Like a given in public speaking?
You don't draw attention to something by saying, I didn't kill that guy.
We didn't ask you if you killed that guy.
Oh, I just thought I'd bring it up.
Well, it's like the one we heard the other day where Jen Psaki goes on and on about infertility out of the blue.
Out of the blue, exactly.
Yeah, good point.
Oh, there's a meme going around that shows a very young Jen Psaki being hugged from behind by a younger-looking then, I think, vice president?
No, it would probably be, I don't know, maybe Senator Biden.
But, like, hugging her kind of inappropriately over her breasts?
It could be Photoshopped.
I don't know.
It's creepy.
But that's the kind of stuff that's going around now.
Well, someone should ask about that, and we can find out whether it's Photoshop, because he has to be honest.
Well, since he's talking about, you know, drinking the blood of babies, I mean, it's not...
Excuse me, Mr.
President, thank you for letting us know you do not hide people and drink the blood of babies.
But are you groping a young Jen Psaki's breasts in this photo, Mr.
President?
I mean, that's the kind of stuff that should be going on now.
No, no.
That's never going to happen by this media.
I mean, maybe Doocy up there from Fox might bring it up.
That's going to be the thing.
That's it.
I don't even know why that guy's in there.
I'm surprised they don't ban him.
That'll be it for Doocy.
I wanted to play these clips about it suddenly turning on China, even though they haven't really admitted that probably everything that's been going on has been China hacking because they've been hacking us forever.
Mm-hmm.
And so now they've got these news stories about, you know, China hacks.
And I've got three clips I want to play, maybe a fourth.
Okay.
And this is Chinese hacks on PBS. On PBS or just PBS? I'm sorry, Chinese hacks PBS. And I'm joined by Nick Schifrin with a lot of reporting to do.
So Nick, first on China, tell us what it is that the U.S. and its allies are saying.
This is an unprecedented international naming and shaming of Chinese hacking and Chinese espionage.
For the first time, NATO, along with the EU, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, joined the U.S. and accused China of working with cyber criminals in order to conduct hacking.
And they also formally accused China of that big Microsoft Exchange server hack from earlier this year that infected more than 100,000 servers worldwide.
So I talked to James Lewis from the think tank, the Center for Strategic International Studies earlier today, about the scope of the challenge posed by China and also today's announcement.
They're the most aggressive espionage opponent we have in the world.
More aggressive than Russia.
This is a huge step forward because we've got Many countries now joining the US in condemning China for its really rampant cyber espionage.
And the fact that you've got NATO, EU countries, Australia, it's a significant effort that the Chinese are probably shocked to find there's such consensus about what they're doing.
But what today's announcement did not include is any punishment on China.
And I talked to a senior congressional aide about that, a frequent critic of China.
This aide praised the administration for getting allies on board, but said that the response was weak because it didn't include punishment, because China only listens to actions and not words in this aide's words, and that China would continue attacking without paying a higher price.
Now, as for administration officials, they say, look, this is a first-stage and, quote, No one action can change Chinese behavior.
Now, Nick, separately from this, you have today the Department of Justice issuing a new indictment against Chinese hackers.
Yeah, so this is a grand jury indicted Chinese intelligence agents for a worldwide hacking, a worldwide cyber espionage, economic espionage campaign.
Oh, man, it's so lame.
The Mueller report did the same thing.
It's those guys!
Yeah, I gotta...
This has a wrap-up.
Do Chinese hacks, too, to finish this report from PBS. The Department of Justice says it was designed to aid Chinese-sponsored and Chinese-owned companies inside China to give them stolen technology so the companies themselves wouldn't have to create it themselves, a kind of shortcut to good technology.
And this is the FBI notice for the four hackers.
They say these hackers targeted trade secrets, intellectual property, other high-value information from companies, universities, and governments across Multiple sectors from the NIH to Navy submarines to Ebola research.
And this was all over the world, Judy, from the U.S. to the U.K. to Cambodia to South Africa.
Exactly the kind of action that the U.S. and its allies are calling out today.
Now, when it comes to China, we took a look at the Chinese nationalist tabloid Global Times response.
They accused the U.S. of stirring up a new geopolitical dispute by turning cyber frictions into major conflicts.
Cyber frictions.
That's a new term, cyber friction.
I like it.
I like it.
So this Chinese thing, this clip was triggered by this clip, which is interesting.
This is China Hacks Pipelines clip.
And, of course, they never make the association with the recent pipeline thing.
Maybe they do, but it's like...
Russia is really being pushed aside.
I'm telling you, that meeting, that three-day meeting by John Kerry, acting as Secretary of State and going to Russia as the czar of the climate crisis, had something to do with all of this.
But listen to this one.
What was that term again that we just had?
It just escaped my mind.
The one we just like.
Cyber friction.
Cyber friction.
I got it.
I'm sorry.
What do we have now?
Cyber Hacks Pipeline.
I'm sorry.
China Hacks Pipeline.
The FBI is telling American pipeline operators to secure their systems against foreign threats.
It says hackers working for the Chinese Communist Party access at least 13 business systems between 2011 and 2013, aiming to damage pipelines or disrupt their operations.
Where you can defeat a nation by attacking its critical infrastructures, shutting down the power grid, shutting down oil and gas pipelines.
The hackers targeted specific employees with fake emails and other methods to get access to the pipelines.
So now the FBI wants all general IT systems to be separated from the systems that control pipeline operations.
And that's going to take organizations a sizable amount of time and effort to get done.
There's also the problem of pipelines using dial-up modems with little to no security or monitoring, a hacker's dream.
That's very similar to what we saw with that legacy VPN device that Colonial Pipeline kept talking about after they found out how they got hacked.
Colonial Pipeline, America's largest oil line, was hacked and shut down in May.
Fuel shortages and long gas lines followed.
Colonial blamed a hacker group called Darkside for the attack, paying a ransom of $4.4 million.
Provides half the fuel, not just for the eastern coast of the United States for civilian purposes.
For all of the military bases on the East Coast.
Prime wants protection for critical services to be included in the upcoming infrastructure package.
Oh, cyber infrastructure.
Of course.
Money.
So what's really weird about this report, and you didn't catch it, or you would have stopped, and the FBI coming in and saying, you need to do this, you need to do that, Is this all based on some hacks between 2011 and 2013?
Were they keeping this in their back pocket the whole time until now?
Eight years later, they finally come out and tell them to do something about this problem?
So they just kept it under the radar?
They just ignored from 2011 to 2013?
That's what they did, the hacking.
And so what's the FBI coming out with this now for?
I have a theory.
Interestingly, I had almost the exact same PBS NewsHour clips.
Well, that was for Ben TD. PBS never mentioned the 2011-2013 thing.
No, they did not.
They did not.
But I do have a theory, and yes, I think you're correct.
John Kerry's three-way in Russia, three-way in Moscow.
He said he was there to party, but he got something done.
And I have two clips to contribute.
So this is the same type of story from Australia.
Well, Australia has joined an alliance of nations, including the United States and the UK, in naming and shaming China over a massive cyber attack earlier this year.
Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews says she has a very high level of confidence.
The attack launched on the Microsoft Exchange platform, the mail server in January, was the work of the Chinese Ministry of State Security.
So this is a script, and the script is Naming and Shaming, and it's from a playbook, and we know the playbook, and I believe John Kerry, as you state, had his three-way in Moscow, and he said, okay, if you're on board with our group, Then you're good to go.
You don't even have to say anything just yet, but you've got to shut up, do as we say.
And I think it's possible that that deal can be done with Russia.
Putin's a very powerful leader, but they do lack in some economic stuff going up against us.
And I'm going to play you a clip from but a few weeks ago when President Biden revealed the plan.
We also made a momentous commitment at the G7 to help meet more than a $40 trillion need that exists for infrastructure in the developing world.
I put forward an idea that was called, we named the Build Back Better World Partnership.
Which is, we're calling it the B3W. The point is that what's happening is that China has its Belt and Road Initiative, and we think that there's a much more equitable way to provide for the needs of countries around the world.
And so it's a values-driven, high-standard, transparent financing mechanism we're going to provide and support projects in four key areas.
Climate, health, digital technology, and gender equity.
And we believe that will not only be good for the countries, but it will be good for the entire world and represent values that our democracies represent and not autocratic lack of values.
So it is my belief, just from the facts that are presenting themselves, that the Build Back Better World program has been initiated.
Everyone turns on a dime.
Russia, as if they never even touched a keyboard, everyone, all faces are now on China.
Russia is going to be in on it one way or the other, and we're all going after the CCP with this fantastic financing thing.
What I think that means is when you put the words build back better, screw China, financing, and infrastructure, you're talking we're going to print the money.
The United States will print it all up.
Everyone's going to get their piece.
But what we're going to do is we're going to kick China out of everywhere.
We heard the whole Build Back Better medley for months and months.
I think this show was the first to actually identify that everybody was saying it.
Now it's in play.
It's the Build Back Better World program, which is to usurp every Belt and Road initiative in every country possible, and it's pretty much all about Africa.
Well, I wish him well.
For a better life beyond your freedom.
Build back better for someone else.
Hey, I got to talk about it.
We got the jingles after all.
It's like he puts, and I believe if your theory is, we can go with, the gender equity and global climate change aspects of this quartet of targets is bullshit.
Yes, I think so.
I think he just puts that in there as lip service to the Democrats.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
Just to get it through the house.
If we say, hey, we're going to go screw up this other country, China, we're going to kick them out of everywhere, doing it on a global scale.
We're organizing it.
Oh, yeah, we're going to pay for it.
That doesn't work.
If you throw in gender equity, oh, okay.
Shit, I'll sign.
I'll sign.
That's what he said.
That's what he said, gender equity.
That's what he said.
Everybody should have the same gender.
Pagina.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I'm an old dude.
I've lost the plot on this.
Well, there's one other little side bit.
I think this was done on PBS, too.
This is this thing about...
Because this came in after they discussed the Chinese...
Or not the Chinese thing, but yeah, the Chinese hacks.
This operation out of Israel called NSO. Oh, yeah.
And Pegasus.
Yes.
Don't look at Israel.
Look at China.
Yeah.
So this is like a nasty little product that I guess is in full play.
Everyone's got, I mean, except for me, I have my phone is where it belongs.
It's in the drawer downstairs.
But everybody else who has to have the phone on them all the time because they're so important, they're going to get a call.
Play this little NSO group, Pegasus Software Clip.
So, as we mentioned, there's another hacking story today.
So the question is, what is Pegasus, and what has a consortium of media companies uncovered here?
This is a window into technology that can turn your phone into a spying tool, and the government's willing to use it.
So what is Pegasus?
It's a software created by an Israeli company called NSO Group, and the company says it's designed to attract terrorists and other serious criminals.
But the investigation reveals governments all over the world used this software to target opponents, whether journalists, opposition politicians, business executives, even activists.
And it is all over the world.
Take a look at this map from Mexico to Morocco to Rwanda to the UAE to India.
This map was produced by the nonprofit Forbidden Stories.
They're the ones who spearheaded this alongside 17 media organizations.
The technical capacity was provided by Amnesty International, whose secretary general, Agnes Kalamard, spoke to me earlier today.
That technology is a weapon.
And what the investigation is showing is that the spyware is misused to such an extent that we have here a weapon that could blow off at any moment.
It is undermining democracy.
It is undermining human rights.
It is undermining judicial system.
It is undermining fair trials.
It could be a threat to peace and security.
It must be regulated properly.
In a statement NSO Group called the Washington Post version of this story flimsy and said, quote, NSO Group's technologies have helped prevent terror attacks, gun violence, car explosions and suicide bombings.
NSO Group is on a life-saving mission and the company will faithfully execute this mission undeterred despite any and all continued attempts to discredit it on false grounds.
Oh, yeah.
This has been going on for a long time.
These guys are not secret.
The availability of this software I don't think was super secret.
I've heard of it.
There was never any news about it.
Well, now there is.
I have a 23-second ABC report about this.
Military-grade malware was allegedly used to spy on journalists, activists, and even world leaders.
A group of media outlets from around the world identified more than 1,000 people in 50 countries believed to be potential targets of an Israeli-based group working on behalf of government clients.
They say at least 37 smartphones were hacked, including one belonging to the fiancé of slain Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Remember when we just said no to phones?
Just said no.
No?
I don't remember ever saying no to phones.
No, it's smart phones.
It was before the show that I gave up on these things.
That's true.
I was condemned anyway.
The only good phone's a landline, and the phone should be made out of Bakelite.
That's me.
There he is, ladies and gentlemen of the Tech Grouch.
Coming back.
No, you're the recent convert to...
Oh, yeah.
You became a nut.
You're like the smoker who quits smoking.
Yeah, and then I'm angry at everybody for their...
And you're mad at everybody.
Or the drunk who sobers up.
What are you drinking for?
Bad behavior.
Bad behavior.
I mean, you're a lot more OTG than I am in terms of your adamacy.
Yes.
And your advocacy, let's say.
Well, also, all the systems I use.
I really try to be...
Good.
I mean, you're as good as it gets when it comes to OTG. I mean, I'm just, my OTG is throw the phone in the drawer, take it out when I need it once in a while, keep it off usually, turn it on when I need it.
But I've been doing that since the beginning because I don't like these phones.
You also don't really go out of the house, so it doesn't matter much.
I go out of the house once in a while.
And I don't take the phone usually.
I very rarely take the phone.
Exactly.
No, of course you don't.
I mean, the tracking...
People are going to start to figure it out.
I mean, not everybody, because...
Man, there's still this credit karma thing.
People are calling me such an idiot.
They're not tracking you.
They're helping poor people get credit.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, that sounds real good.
Bullcrap.
Who condemns you for this?
They're idiots.
So, there's a new Credit Karma ad, which is running on TikTok, where it belongs.
And they're starting to do more.
So, the whole point of Credit Karma is behavioral obedience.
And if you do certain things, if you pay certain bills in a timely manner, then they will, as intermediaries, say, oh, yeah, guess what?
By the way, this is a great ad.
It almost convinces you to get Credit Karma.
Oh, yes.
Oh, yes.
It does.
Whoa, I can get a free saw.
So Credit Karma either gives you free money, but I think it's probably in the form of extra credit.
I don't have Credit Karma because in order to even test it, you have to give up a lot of information.
Google is an investor.
So, you know, all the links are there.
They now have their own debit card.
And they broker out credit contracts based upon everything they know about you to other people.
And as we know, eventually the government wants to take over credit ratings.
But right now, it's Credit Karma.
And this will become the social credit score of the future and will be based around your behavior.
So this is the latest advertisement from Credit Karma.
You can get Credit Karma, which means they say money, but I believe it's extra credit to spend.
Or maybe they deduct something.
But money, if you behave in the following manner.
What's good?
It's your boy Benny Knows.
And I'm back with a free mani-pedi hack.
Walk with me.
Go to the nail salon.
Ask for a mani-pedi.
Pay with credit karma money.
Win instant karma.
Get it for free.
I'm ridiculous.
These little piggies went to the nail salon.
My toes got good karma.
So go get a mani-pedi, a manicure pedicure, and you will get money.
You get, okay, you get the free pedicure in the way I see it.
And the way they're doing these commercials on television besides...
Oh, you've seen it on TV too?
And the one on TV goes like this.
A woman walks in and she does the credit, whatever, she uses the car, whatever, and she gets a free sandwich.
Oh, the sandwich is free.
It's your karma.
Oh.
And there's another one where a guy goes into a hardware shop and he gets a free leaf blower.
Wow!
I went to the brothel and got a free blowjob!
Thanks, Credit Karma!
Well, that could be too.
So I thought it was...
But it's behavioral.
They're pushing it.
It's behavioral.
Yeah, it's behavioral.
Hey, there's quite a breakthrough, and I have some extra information on a story that we've been on for a long time.
I would typically say, oh, here it is, another directed energy weapon.
But I think I can change my opinion on what happened with those weird sonic rays or whatever was making embassy personnel sick in Cuba and other places.
Here's NBC Nightly News.
Tonight, U.S. officials telling NBC News as many as 200 Americans have now reported possible cases of that so-called Havana syndrome.
Mysterious neurological symptoms, sometimes brain damage, first reported by diplomats at the U.S. Embassy in Havana in 2016, then appearing in Russia and China.
This year, two dozen new cases in Vienna, another in Berlin.
U.S. officials say potential victims on every continent but Antarctica.
We are investigating and reviewing reports of incidents from all around the world.
Including personnel from the State Department, CIA and Pentagon, but no proof of the cause.
In 2018, NBC News reported U.S. intelligence officials suspected Russia.
Russia denies it.
But Mark Polymeropoulos told me he had to quit the CIA because of symptoms that started in Moscow.
I couldn't stand up.
I was falling over.
I had incredible sense of nausea and ringing in my ears.
I was frankly terrified.
We sat down exclusively with Cuban investigators in 2017 who denied blame.
Cuba doesn't possess this technology.
Cuba has never produced these types of weapons.
While searching for the cause, the Biden administration is working on devices to protect personnel, as it's considering sending diplomats back to Havana for the first time since the attack started.
So I didn't even know it was on all those embassies.
That was news to me.
Well, a couple of things you should note.
One, these guys have got to be targeted.
You just don't blast some poor CIA guy for no good reason.
The second thing is I believe that there's somebody out there, and you can look this up.
People can look it up.
They can do a search.
They can find it.
Somebody is selling a baseball cap that is lined with a Faraday cage fabric.
Oh, I need that.
I need that.
So it's a version of the tinfoil hat, which will stop these beams.
And I would say that if you have the baseball cap with the Faraday cage built in with the Faraday cage fabric, which is the stuff that you find in some wallets and some devices and some bags, just say put your phone in the bag and it can't be tapped or whatever.
I think that might be not a bad product to own.
If I was a CIA guy and I was in Moscow, I'd be wearing this baseball cap around.
If I was noagendashop.com, I'd be making them.
Now that you mention it, they do make caps.
The lining is just like a cloth.
It's an interesting material.
Yeah.
Noagendashop.com.
Get some of that cloth and put it in these baseball caps you sell.
And you might get some takers.
And it also fits into the theme of the show.
No agenda cap.
Well, I have a theory, though, on what's happening.
This is not mine.
It was sent to me, and I think it's very interesting.
What if they're not targeting the people inside the embassies?
What if they're targeting the rooms themselves?
Here's the theory.
As proven by scientists at the Technical University of Munich, they developed a holographic imaging process That depicts the radiation of a Wi-Fi transmitter to generate three-dimensional images of the surrounding environment.
Industrial facility operators are considering using this to track objects as they move through the production hall.
Generating holograms with microwave radiation off of a Wi-Fi transmitter requires only one fixed and one movable antenna.
Now, I don't know.
Some of the newer routers already work at quite high frequencies.
I don't know.
What if they're hacking the routers?
And some of these routers, I mean, you've seen them with 6, 7, 8, a whole antenna array on top.
What if they have a way to tune them up?
Maybe a higher frequency, but whatever they're doing, they're creating enough EMF that it's making people sick, which can happen.
Lots of people are very sensitive to Wi-Fi just as is, and they can't have it in their house.
How about that as an explanation?
Well, it's illogical.
That would explain the anomaly of why are these specific people being targeted.
Yeah.
That would take that off the table.
Why not?
I liked it.
I liked it as an idea.
But yet again, another thing.
It's like, oh my god.
You can do a 3D holographic image of my house based upon my router?
It's like, get me off all grids immediately.
I want the show to be in a shack three towns further up.
In Idaho.
No.
No, I don't want to be in Idaho.
No, sir.
No, thank you.
No, thank you.
I just thought, wow.
Okay.
Very, very possible.
I'm not...
There's no other theories...
No, we certainly don't have one yet.
Now, let's talk about some supply chain stuff.
People are always very happy to email me.
That's why I had the Union Pacific news.
That part of any supply chain that includes their routes through Oregon are going to be delayed because of the fires.
Tina has three months left on her lease.
And she has a Mazda MX-5.
And we want to buy a car for her.
We think that's better.
Why lease it?
And looking for something that maybe has a couple thousand miles on it.
And obviously there's nothing available.
But now that we're in the books, they're all calling her all day long.
They will take her car, give her enough money to pay off the lease, And then still have $4,000 in her pocket for a three-year-old car.
Can you believe that?
Yeah, I got cards in the mail.
Everyone's trying to do that out here, too.
I mean, I'm also getting real estate agents calling me like, Hey, this is Carol.
Yeah, we just want to update our information about you that we have on file.
So I don't have any information on me on file.
But the car thing is very new.
And of course, what can you buy?
There's nothing to buy.
No, that's the idea.
I mean, they need cars so badly.
What would be ideal, so you only have one car, you have a car and she has a car and there's no third car?
No, no third car.
A backup car, a truck or something?
Well, what I'd really like is one day...
Because this is going to blow over.
The way I see it, you can dump your second cars or third cars if you have them.
Whatever junkers or whatever car you got there, get rid of it.
And then just hold out until things calm down and you go buy a used car for half the price.
I live an hour outside of Austin.
I'll just walk.
But boy, that $4,000 is going to feel good when I'm doing it.
No.
So I guess you don't have a third car.
No, I don't have a third car.
Now, what else have we heard?
All kinds of weird delays.
Taco Bell and Starbucks are warning their customers about shortages.
What are the shortages of?
Well, let's see.
Due to nationwide delivery delays, we're currently experiencing outages of some of our food and beverage items, which is kind of weird to use outage in that context, isn't it?
It's very weird.
Good catch.
Let's see.
They did not have some hot sauce.
Oh, no!
Why don't you just go to the Mexican grocers and buy a bunch of Tapatia for two bucks a bottle and use that?
Let me see what else we have in...
Oh, let's see.
Well, England, we already talked about severe disruptions also to food because of the pandemic.
Back to railroads.
This is in the Wall Street Journal this morning.
Struggling to bring crews back, draw scrutiny from regulators who are already concerned about lean operations.
People do not want to come back to work.
The railroads cannot strip down to bare-bones operation, said Martin Obermann, chairman of the Surface Transportation Board.
So there's your problem.
It's stupid people.
But this one...
And if you order new furniture for the summer, a shortage of foam is now causing delays.
Shortage of foam?
Where does foam come from?
The foam tree?
None of this, John, seems natural.
I do understand the employment issue, that people don't want to come back to work, but I just feel that that's being stimulated by some quasi-universal basic income.
Austin is now moving into stage four or five.
We're going to have lockdowns, and this time it's going to hurt.
You're not going to be locked down in your area.
No, but I'm not concerned about me.
I'm concerned about my daughter in Rotterdam, in shitty-ass EU. I'm concerned about my friend Michelle, who's been struggling to keep his clubs alive.
Not only does he have to check everyone because he can go to jail if an unvaccinated person is in one of his establishments, now he's going to have to close down again.
He's going bankrupt.
That's what I'm concerned about.
These people are assholes.
I was noticing this.
Even around here, just through this one period of lockdowns, there's all these little businesses that have shuttered.
And it's way too many of them.
Some of them are kind of those businesses that you maybe don't go to that much, but you know they're there.
You can always go there.
Now they're gone.
It's very disturbing.
And all that will be left will be boring-ass big-box stores.
I'm seeing it in the hill country.
Walmart.
Now, I go to Walmart.
Lots of people wearing masks now because, oh, the Delta variant.
That was pretty good.
I'm going to mark that one.
It sounds good.
You should probably definitely clip it.
It's not that easy to do a good sheet fact.
It's not easy at all.
You nailed it.
Quick little climate change.
We have the horrific floods in Germany, Belgium, also in the Netherlands.
Not often mentioned.
Not to mention China.
Oh no, we're not going to talk about China at all.
But I think this was a mistake that NPR should not have aired this as edited and broadcast.
So I know you have been out in one of the worst hit towns you spent yesterday talking to people there.
What are they saying about how this happened?
Yeah, I spoke to several people yesterday in the town of Bad Neuenahr-Arweiler, people who had suffered incredible damage to their homes.
Dozens of people in this town died in this disaster.
And the one thing everyone was talking about was how unnatural all of this seemed.
The rain was nothing like anyone had ever seen before.
The way that the tiny creek that runs through this town, the awe filled up from below a foot deep to 25 feet deep in a matter of a few hours as water rushed down into this valley.
I spoke to President Martin Larson about this, and he thought climate change was definitely a part of this, but he also listed other culprits behind the severity of the flooding.
Here's what he said.
This type of flooding is not normal.
This type of rain is not normal and the consequences are not normal.
The main thing is probably infrastructure.
We've probably been building everywhere here.
You've asphalted, everything is paved.
The river is straight.
It's not bending back and forth.
It's been manipulated by man throughout the years.
It's nice and shallow and it's just cozy, but when it comes, high water.
Germany is Europe's most populous country.
It's about the size of New Mexico, but it has more than 80 million people in that area.
So its population is fairly dense.
And there are so many towns, like the one I visited yesterday, that are built along waterways that are highly engineered.
And urban management, to prevent these extreme weather events from causing so much damage, is something that German officials will likely start analyzing more closely in the aftermath of this tragedy.
So note that the German who was speaking didn't mention climate change at all.
You know, you can say a million times, well, it's not just climate change.
You know, this guy also thinks, no, all we heard, the guy never said it's also climate change.
And then he said, look, you manipulated the river for years.
The river's straight now, straight as an arrow.
You've manipulated nature.
You've made it nice and shallow and pleasant.
But yeah, when something goes wrong, then we drown.
Wasn't this the same when we had the show released 10 years ago when they had the flooding?
And it was the same kind of thing?
They screwed up?
I mean, they blame it on climate change, but they screwed up.
I think it was Germany or Austria or someplace, and it was the same thing.
They took the trees out.
A forest used to be here, and they flattened the mountain, and they did this, they did that, and then they had this horrible situation.
This is not a new story.
This is like a repeat.
Well, so here's something to ponder.
As Sir Gene brought up, as we were sipping some Oban, You know, in West Texas, Texas has been very strange weather, to say the least.
We've had a lot of weird things going on in the past year.
And we had another outrageous thunder and lightning and rainstorm here, was it yesterday, before yesterday.
So what do we have in Texas?
We have an entire swath of Texas, West Texas, is filled with windmills.
And we have other swaths filled with solar arrays.
And G made a point...
Now, besides the fact that the Earth should be slowing down because of these things, our rotation...
He's of the opinion that it is already changing weather patterns and perhaps we won't be able to change it back because if you all of a sudden change the way the wind works, the way the wind blows by placing enormous resistance, you're going to get a split of wind going around.
The same goes for solar arrays are of course actually called solar collectors.
So there's a lot of light that is not refracting back to the clouds or creating heat.
So we are, in fact, with windmills and solar panels, creating a form of climate change that we have no idea what the consequences could be.
Is that crazy to think?
I thought it was a good theory.
I think it needs...
If I saw some engineering data that would indicate that these things do much more than nothing in terms of these giant...
The weather system is a monster, and these are little piddly things that are sitting down there spinning around.
These are not little piddly things.
You've seen how big they are.
If you go out to the moon and look down, you won't see them.
You can't get past the dome.
I'm just saying, these are little piddly things in the scheme of things.
No, they're big.
They're huge.
But they're just a big rotating propeller.
And yeah, I don't even see the dead birds.
And I'm just not buying it.
I don't think there's enough to make a difference.
I'd like to see some engineering numbers.
Okay.
No, I'm down with that.
Absolutely.
If you could show me one scintilla.
I like the idea.
Oh, you said scintilla.
God, that's a Dan Bongino thing.
Have you been listening to Dan Bongino?
No.
Strange.
Because it's catching and people are saying...
Whenever you hear someone...
No, I'm not going to say it again, don't worry.
There's not one scintilla of...
But I like the idea because it does make sense that there is a lot of energy sucked up by the solar array that would normally be bouncing around and hitting the ground and warming it up and growing things.
And the nonsense just gets absorbed into that system.
It just disappears into electricity that gets used, which recycles it, but nah.
Well, it doesn't really matter because a group of more than 80 House and Senate Democrats have laid out their vision for a climate jobs program called the Civilian Climate Corps that is expected to be part of this $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation bill.
And this will be the brown shirts, who will be on patrol everywhere to make sure you're adhering to your footprint.
And they will initially not be armed.
But eventually, and they'll have tasers, you know.
And eventually it'll turn into something much more insidious.
That's both parties.
How's our break doing?
Yeah, we should take a break right now.
I'm ready for it.
I'm going to show myself by donating to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on No Agenda in the morning.
And we do have a few people to thank for show 1366.
Getting pretty close to the big one, the big 14.
Starting with Sarah.
Pretty close.
Okay.
Almost a year away or something.
Oh, very close.
Can't wait.
Six months.

Wait a minute.
I'm sorry.
I don't want to interrupt, but I do.
She'll be 13, Dan's daughter.
And the reason I stopped it is because he also wants us to call her out as a douchebag.
Douchebag!
She's 13.
That's right.
She can't start too early teaching these kids not to be a douchebag.
That's a great dad right there.
Great dad.

I want to thank them and everybody else for helping produce this show.
If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't be doing it.
Absolutely.
And we also thank everyone who came in under $50, typically for anonymity, but also we have the sustaining donations, which are...
You can make up your own, actually, but there's some suggestions there, some magic numbers that you can use weekly, monthly, etc.
It does help when the times are slower, and you never know.
So thank you all.
Again, thanks to our executive producers and associate executive producers for producing episode 1,366 of Your No Agenda show.
Dvorak.org slash NA. We love those birthday notes that usually come in with the donations.

I'm gonna be in Alright.
What else do we have going on?
Oh yeah, our No Agenda meetups!
No Agenda meetups!
It's like a party!
A party indeed, and we have a couple reports.

A very good-looking group over there.
Over to the Netherlands, right outside of The Hague, where the government sits in Wassenaar, a no-agenda meetup.

Fully sunburned, but having fun.
This is Lucas, the 19-year-old bitcoiner, sharing an awesome afternoon with the best people in the prime-ready state of Netherlands.
It's dangerous coming to you live from Wassenaar.
It's like a birthday party.
Testing, testing, testing, to you.
Oh, meet you at the beach.
Party time.
Happy birthday, Janet.
Happy birthday, Janet.
It's very nice here at the beach in Wassenaar.

Joe's your organizer for that.
These are the No Agenda Meetups.
You have to understand how cool that you really can't until you go visit one because there's some, maybe it's just the language we use, we all can say in the morning and feel comfortable and they're not all of the same opinion, not all of the same backgrounds, ages, creeds, colors, sexuality.
We are, of course, all gender equitied.
But besides that, it's a great group.
You'll have a good time.
NoagendaMeetups.com.
If you can't find one there, here's what you do.
Start one yourself.
NoagendaMeetups.com.
It's easy.
It's like a party.
Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
You want to be where you want me.
Triggered or held the blame.
You want to be where everybody feels the same.
It's like a party.
Okay, let me see.
Weep.
I think I have a number of ISOs.
Let me see.
What do I have here?
Nope.
Are you alive?
Yeah, I'm right here.
Oh, I didn't know if you were with us or not.
Do you have any ISOs?
Yeah, I've got a bunch.
Okay.
First, there's one that may be an ISO because it says 00.
It's a short one.
00?
There's that.
Oh, hold on a second.
There's that.
Let's try this one out.
There's that.
Hmm.
God, I hate that warble in there.
What is that taken from?
I can't remember.
Is that a podcast?
There's that.
I think it's from the...
Not very punchy.
Not very punchy.
Try friends.
Friends.
Okay.
I miss my friends.
That's cute.
Yeah, definite contender.
Contender.
Well, in that same vein, because another old woman, Zoom.
Hmm.
I have sort of learned how to do Zoom.
Too long.
It's cute, but it's too long.
And then we have the classic old dudes.
Oh, oh, oh, that may be very good, yes.
Two old dudes.
Two old dudes.
That doesn't sound good.
Well, hold on.
Let me see what I have.
I have this one.
Stop it.
You look like an idiot.
I like that one.
That's their agenda.
This one.
You do not know what you are talking about.
Too long.
Yeah, okay, so what do we like here?
Well, I like Friends and that one that I laughed at.
Okay, that was Don Lemon, actually.
Let me see.
If I can punch that one up, it may be usable.
Hold on, let me see.
I've got to do some real work on that.
Stop it.
You look like an idiot.
I like that one.
Well, try Friends again, just as the competition.
I miss my friends.
It sounds better, I Miss My Friends, and it's short.
Let's do it, I Miss My Friends.
I think it's better.
Yeah, I like the Don Lemon one.
It makes me laugh, but I don't like Don Lemon, so let's...
Yeah, okay.
Well, there's a reason.
Perfect.
Reason enough.
Okay, I don't think I have much left, John.
I think I'm all petered out.
I don't even have a...
I have quite a few, but I've got two that I think will finish the show.
Okay, that would be nice.
First, there is the stating the obvious, which is Dana Perino on one of the five or whatever that show is she's on.
Yeah, she's on the five.
She's the tiny blonde.
And so she used to be the press secretary for Bush, I think.
And you know, it's so weird to not see her with that.
Still, that short hair was so Dana Perino.
It's still weird to not see her with that.
So, here is the, her, she's, wasn't, I think she's, you know, I used to say she's a professional public relations person.
Oh, yeah.
So, she's come to this crazy conclusion, which is like a real head shaker, like, you, what, ah, what?
This is just very no agenda-y, Spotify observation.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Can I say something on the Spotify thing?
What if I don't see myself as a man?
Yes.
This story about ten staffers, anonymous staffers, being upset about Joe Rogan happens about every three weeks.
I'm starting to believe that it is a PR ploy.
Because every time they do, the executives at Spotify tell those guys that are complaining to go pound sand.
So Spotify executives totally get it, and they're actually defending him.
So part of me feels like, maybe that's just one of the ways that they are trying to get some good press.
Really, no.
Wow, there you go.
Really, no.
Publicity stunt.
No, I've never heard of such a thing.
Well, she would know.
She does know that stuff.
Now, the second clip, which I think is a good one in the show, I think somebody at NPR might be listening to us.
Okay.
They did a whole ad, a promotion, because they do have ads, but this is a house ad for one of their shows.
Mm-hmm.
And it's all centered around the idea of saying good question, excellent question, good question.
It's just beyond me.
Good question.
That's a really good question.
That's a great question.
This is free therapy.
Thank you for asking me that.
God, that's such a good question.
That's an interesting question.
But what Fresh Air interviews are really about are the interesting answers.
Listen and subscribe to Fresh Air from WHYY and NPR. Well, I have listened to a lot of fresh air in my life, and I can solidly say, rarely is there a good question.
Or a good answer.
Yeah.
Wow.
Especially the great question.
That's not going to happen.
Alright, affiliates, once again, we're long.
Oh yeah, we got great questions all day long.
Coming up next on noagendastream.com, you can reach it through the trollroom.io as well.
A walk through the mind with Sir Billy Bones.
That'll be mental and physical stresses.
That sounds like an upbeat program.
End of show mix is Sir Ned, we've got Tom Starkweather, Sound Guy Steve, and I'm going to have to leave it at that.
I've got a couple more, but I can save those for the Sunday broadcast, which I look forward to doing very much.
We'll be tracking everything down, deconstructing the news, trying to...
Tell you how we see it.
Hey, we're just two old dudes.
And coming to you from the heart of Texas Hill Country, FEMA Region No.
6 in the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, I'm John C. Dvorak.
We return on Sunday right here on the No Agenda Show.
Would you please support us?
You probably might want to.
Go to Dvorak.org slash NA. We'll see you on Sunday in the morning.
And adios and mofos.
And such.
Meeting up with a friend at the bar.
And chatting about podcasts.
You told me to listen to Noah Jadar.
And hanging about at last.
Did you hear that clip?
It sounds like a scam.
I'm going out to hear you.
You sound just like Adam Curry.
Oh, oh, and you jump to the barack.
Don't forget, give their value for their value.
Don't wanna be a douchebag You got a great dog there, kid.
Ha ha ha.
I stand by what I said.
And guess what?
We created more jobs in the first six months of our administration.
We're very, very, very, very, very, very conservative.
