	Oh my God!
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Sunday, July 25th, 2021.
	This is your award-winning Kimba Nation Media assassination episode 1367.
	This is no agenda.
	Celebrating our credit and broadcasting live from the heart of Texas Hill Country.
	We're in FEMA region number six in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where we better mask up.
	And this effort just went by.
	We missed it.
	It's eight cars.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We win eight cars, Zephyr.
	That's it for the economic report, everybody.
	Bitcoin currently at $34,164.
	Oh, my God!
	Woo!
	Listen to that horn!
	And...
	I don't know why I did that.
	The big and...
	It's in your nature.
	Yeah.
	I am a top 40 puking DJ after all.
	That is true.
	That is true.
	It boils down to that, yeah.
	Man, I don't know exactly where to start today because the airwaves are just inundated with stuff.
	But hello to Australia and France.
	France is the worst.
	France is the best.
	Are they trying...
	They don't want tourist money?
	Are they just giving up on their whole nightlife and the whole culture?
	They want freedom.
	This is about the vaccine passports.
	Oh, freedom.
	Liberté!
	Liberté!
	They've got riots going.
	I was watching a CBS report this morning on it, and they were talking about, well, you know, they've done riots and they show a bunch of riots, and then the people throwing tear gas every which way.
	And then they say, but nobody knows.
	It's really not that bad.
	They really soft-pedaled it, and they went to the Eiffel Tower.
	People are happy to go into the Eiffel Tower and show their phone barcode.
	That was the report that they ran?
	They ran that report?
	Yes, I'm telling you.
	I'll put it on the next show.
	I'll go record it.
	John Dickerson's show has gone downhill.
	It's like it's been taken over.
	They have that guy, that FDA guy Gottlieb or whatever his name is.
	You mean the Pfizer guy Gottlieb?
	The Pfizer guy.
	Why does anybody book this guy?
	Oh, I've got it.
	Because he has the truth.
	He has the truth.
	He's a Pfizer shill.
	Okay, he was once head of the FDA, got into a revolving door and then ended up on the board of Pfizer.
	How does that make him credible?
	Listen, we missed an enormous gaffe by this jabroni, this Gottlieb fellow.
	And producer Brittany, she caught it.
	And even, it's only 18 seconds, but even after she said, oh, you missed a huge gaffe that Gottlieb made, I didn't hear it again.
	I had to listen two times.
	Check it out.
	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, and the length of protection is only about six months to a year from infection.
	You get residual protection against hospitals.
	I got it right away, yeah.
	Oh my God.
	From infection.
	From infection by the vaccine, yes.
	Exactly, exactly.
	You know, in France, okay.
	In Montelimar.
	Montelimar.
	I don't know where that is.
	Oh, Drôme.
	The French Department of Drôme.
	Wow, this sounds like an outer space place.
	An entire hospital has gone on strike because of the mandate.
	The whole hospital.
	The whole hospital?
	The whole hospital.
	It's done.
	Mercy Hospital down in Houston.
	Half the people left.
	Yeah, but then they all got...
	Yeah, only 200 people.
	But now they've effectively shut the hospital down.
	Now I'm seeing reports, I'm not sure exactly how credible this is, that the Republican Guard, which is the President's, Macron's security detail, have resigned.
	So it's Saddam Hussein's operation.
	They've all resigned.
	And here's the best one.
	Movie theaters in France, yeah, ticket sales down by 70%.
	The French are not standing for it.
	They will not accept this.
	And the big thing is that this is not just a vaccine passport.
	It's no chance of a negative PCR test.
	Explicitly said, no, no, no.
	You can't get in with a negative test.
	You have to show proof of vaccination.
	Well, that may not be true, because even in the CBS report, which was promoting the whole thing, they slipped it in very slyly that if you can't get into the Eiffel Tower because you don't have your vaccine, you can take a test on the spot.
	Really?
	Really?
	Because these are Macron's own words.
	I mean, it translated, of course, in subtitles, but these are his own words.
	And that's what set everybody off.
	Well, all I'm telling you is that the report, which seemed to be already slanted, and you've noticed it, we've noticed it, and Anonymous knows this, is that the test will bypass the situation.
	Oh, yeah.
	So here is the NBC report on both countries.
	New COVID restrictions across parts of Europe and in Australia ignited mass protests today.
	In France, crowds clashed with police, angry over the government's upcoming mandate requiring vaccinations or a negative COVID test to access most public venues.
	And in Australia, thousands march for freedom from the country's strict lockdown rules amid a resurgence of the virus there.
	I was getting...
	You know, several reports per half hour from a lot of our producers in Australia.
	Sir Chris Wilson, of course, also on the ball.
	This was very interesting.
	The Australians, the first thing I noticed about the Australians when they're in a crowd and slash riot situation, they don't care about the police horses.
	This is contrary to every other crowd I've ever seen.
	There were guys kicking the horses.
	That's not typical.
	That's nothing you see around here.
	No, that's not.
	In Austin, the children were crying.
	Horse.
	Horsey, horsey.
	Horsey, horsey.
	No, this is very different.
	And I think 50 or 60 people were arrested.
	But the police put out a statement.
	The Sydney...
	Let me see.
	I'm bringing it up here.
	Yes, this is this...
	The police have established, check it out, strike force seasoned following a police operation in response to unauthorized protest activity in Sydney's CDB today.
	It's called strike force seasoned.
	I'm not sure why...
	It means they've been in this situation before.
	They're seizing.
	Strike force.
	They've been in strike force more than once.
	Well, the main point of the release is that you put the police officers at risk, so you really messed it up, people, and we're going to check all CCTV when it comes knocking on doors.
	Sound familiar?
	It sounds familiar, but the problem is still, if the guys want to get away, they just wear a black mask, and you have to wear the mask anyway, so wear a mask and then cause trouble.
	How are you going to be identified?
	I know there's some software that supposedly will identify a person wearing a mask.
	No one was wearing a mask.
	I know, that's what I'm thinking.
	You should probably wear the mask for a different reason.
	What kind of capitulator are you?
	I'm not a capitulator.
	This is a way to avoid getting detected and thrown in a slammer.
	It's an old trick.
	Bank robbers have been using this trick for decades.
	Let's listen to the dictator, Dan.
	He didn't even know what they were protesting against.
	He had no idea.
	It was a mystery.
	What an idiot.
	Oh, it gets worse.
	Let's listen to Dictator Dan on the lockdowns.
	How much worse do things need to get in Sydney before you're willing to say we need to rush vaccines there?
	Well, there's a presumption in the question, and that is about how this lockdown comes to an end.
	the lockdown comes to an end by the lockdown effectively working there's not an easy way to bring these cases down and it's the lockdown that does that work the vaccines can provide some assistance but they are not what going to end this lockdown what's going to end this lockdown is it being effective and it being effectively put in place and complied with how about that Doesn't make any sense.
	They already put the lockdown in place.
	It didn't do jack.
	They had the harshest lockdowns ever in Australia.
	They didn't do anything, so what's he talking about?
	Excuse me, they're still locked down.
	Well, then he's full of shit, this guy.
	No, this is the word of an authoritarian dictatorship, dictator, who says, vaccine's not going to get you out, the lockdown being effective, i.e.
	shut up and stay in your home.
	All these people broke the lockdown for this protest.
	I mean, they've...
	Do you remember I said, Australia, your shit is coming?
	I said it.
	I said you're six months behind, but here it is.
	They're in full-on lockdown in New South Wales.
	I hope they enjoy themselves.
	Don't the way the numbers are unfolding suggest that the lockdown isn't being effective?
	Does it need to be harder?
	Does the government in New South Wales have to rethink things?
	That's basically you with an Australian accent.
	And if we've got this situation where there's an expectation that Victoria and South Australia could come out of the lockdown, but we're looking at months in New South Wales, once we're clear on those other states, the federal government will actually have to provide something more than just emergency measures.
	That is principally a matter for the NSW Government.
	But there isn't an alternative to the lockdown in NSW to get this under control.
	There is no other magic bullet that is going to do that.
	There is no vaccine solution that's going to do that.
	The lockdown is what is going to do it.
	It can be assisted by the vaccines, but the lockdown must be effective.
	And so it's essential that every effort is focused on making sure that lockdown does its job.
	He's a psycho.
	Who's sorry they gave up their guns?
	Raise your hand without talking.
	But he's not lying about the vaccine.
	Listen to this about the...
	This is the New South Wales COVID update about cases and hospitalizations.
	There are a number of people in hospital.
	141 people are in hospital with COVID at present, and 43 are in intensive care, 18 of whom require ventilation.
	So this is a very serious disease.
	Of those 141, 60 are under the age of 55, and 28 under the age of 35.
	And of the 43 people in intensive care, one is in their teens, seven are in their 20s, three are in their 30s, 14 are in their 15s, and 12 are in their 60s, and six are in their 70s.
	So this is affecting people of all ages with very serious disease.
	All but one.
	A vaccinated one person has just received one dose of vaccine.
	What?
	Every single person in the hospital, 141, has been vaccinated.
	140 of them double vaccinated.
	One of them only one jab.
	This thing is not working.
	That's terrible.
	Well, I have one of our dames, the one who did the note to it.
	I have the note, but I'm like, it's too long to read.
	But her husband ended up in the hospital.
	She's the one that wants to meet up with the doctor.
	Yes.
	And when her husband had to go to the hospital, she's got COVID too, but she's recovering using some therapeutic therapy.
	And she said that the doctor says, well, you know, nine of the people that are in the ICU ward are all vaccinated.
	This is really contradictory to what the official government line is.
	And I've extrapolated this.
	I don't have a clip.
	Yeah, I do.
	But I've extrapolated what...
	What they're trying to say is that everybody who gets hospitalized or gets the disease now is unvaccinated.
	But some people have been vaccinated and got the disease.
	And the way I have extrapolated it, according to the government, the number is one out of ten people who have the disease have been vaccinated.
	It's one out of ten.
	The numbers that are – the real world numbers don't seem to be one out of ten.
	It seems to be a lot.
	Yes.
	Now, these are what they call the breakthrough cases.
	So now everyone is starting...
	I like...
	But I should mention this.
	You don't develop a term for something unless there's lots of them.
	Yeah, well, they had this...
	Breakthrough is the term we're referring to.
	Breakthrough, correct.
	Why was this term developed?
	Because there's too many...
	You've got to call it something.
	Long haulers was already taken.
	They used that one.
	Breakthrough.
	I mean, pretty soon they can just call it what it is.
	Republicans.
	This is CBS. It was a hippie fest where people were close and hugging.
	Jeff Friedman and Julie Greenhouse were among the fans at the crowded Peach Festival in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
	16,000 faces and not a mask in sight.
	It didn't really occur to us that we were putting ourselves at risk.
	It was we were outside, we're all vaccinated.
	But vaccinations were not required.
	48 hours after that last curtain call, Greenhouse developed symptoms and tested positive for COVID with a breakthrough infection.
	So did her boyfriend Jeff and 13 other festival friends, all with mild symptoms.
	I think if I had thought it through that I could have gotten COVID from someone unvaccinated, I would have been smarter.
	Dr.
	Paul Dupre is a vaccine researcher.
	He says it's crucial for people to get vaccinated so there's less virus to mutate into a more infectious version like the Delta variant, which has likely been causing the increased reports of breakthrough cases.
	Paired with previous versions of the virus, there's evidence Delta may attach to lung cells more efficiently.
	And a recent study found the Delta variant produced about a thousand times more virus in the nose than the original strain.
	It's not just about staying out of hospital and staying out of a coffin.
	It's about stopping the likelihood that that virus will change.
	And I'm still awaiting the proof that these tests are testing for the Delta variant.
	I like to see the paper that says you've got a thousand times more.
	Well, this is part of the talking point.
	It's all this lab stuff.
	They don't have any proof of it in the field.
	It's all done in the lab.
	But what we did hear and read is that the CDC has recalled the original RT-PCR assay selected The one that they used for the initial testing.
	It turns out, well, they're not saying it's no good.
	It was a Class 1 failure of its emergency use authorization.
	We just talked about that.
	These tests are also under emergency use authorization.
	So now they're recalling that, and the CDC is encouraging laboratories to consider adoption of a multiplex method that can facilitate detection and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses.
	Now, this doesn't mean that they're admitting that PCR is invalid for diagnostics, which the inventor of PCR himself said.
	But it does show that something was not right with that initial test and might have taken us into the initial lockdown.
	And I find it extremely coincidental that this happens when Bill Gates, with George Soros, just bought a testing company.
	The coincidence is just odd.
	Just a very strange coincidence.
	Let's go back.
	A couple of short clips here from the same CBS Evening News report.
	So far, the COVID vaccines have been highly effective at preventing serious illness, even from Delta.
	But they're not perfect.
	According to the CDC, millions of vaccinated people will be at risk of a breakthrough infection if exposed, but so far, most have had mild or no symptoms.
	Out of more than 160 million fully vaccinated people in the US, the CDC says 5,500, mostly the elderly or people with underlying health conditions, have been hospitalized or died.
	We kind of have completely contrary evidence about this.
	They keep repeating, oh, you're not going to get severe.
	You know, if we had an MMR vaccine and kids were getting measles, we'd question the vaccine.
	Yeah, well.
	Of course, we can bitch and moan about this.
	I know it's repetitive, I know, but we have to stick with...
	There is a web of lies being created, and there's very few people saying anything to really combat it, certainly in the M5M. We obviously have to repeat ourselves, otherwise it just gets...
	It's like...
	It's like going against a mob.
	You've got like two people saying one thing and then everyone else yelling at you.
	I don't like that idea.
	I'd rather go against the medical establishment than the mob, quite frankly.
	So here's the question.
	Here's the question about these...
	No, wait.
	Do I have it here?
	Yes.
	We want to know, does this mean that the vaccine is failing?
	Do these breakthrough cases mean the vaccine is failing?
	No.
	No, not at all.
	The efficacy, as is the case here, is really based on whether you prevent clinically recognizable disease.
	Most of the time...
	Do you hear this all of a sudden?
	It's really only if you can...
	If you can prevent clinically recognized disease, we've never recognized a positive case clinically.
	It's always been by PCR. He's switching it up.
	Recognizable disease.
	Most of the time, you're dealing with either asymptomatic infection or mildly symptomatic.
	The vaccine is still very protective against severe disease leading to hospitalization and death.
	It's just...
	I'm flabbergasted sometimes.
	How this can continue.
	Let's circle back.
	You know, if they just stopped bringing on Fauci, the thing would die down and be more reasonable.
	Fauci's the problem.
	He is a big part.
	And Gottlieb too, but Fauci is a big part of the problem.
	So everywhere in the world, they're now talking about top it off, top off, top off your J&J with a Pfizer or Moderna, except Fauci.
	Should someone who got the Johnson& Johnson shot go and get a dose of Pfizer or Moderna?
	Would you?
	At this time, there's no indication at all that a person who's received a single dose, the standard dose of J&J needs to go out and get a booster shot.
	Who is he working for?
	He's not working for Pfizer.
	I think they distanced themselves from him.
	And that's part of the big breakthrough.
	Well, there was also...
	You have to remember that a couple weeks ago when Pfizer first started talking about the third shot, the booster, they shut them down.
	So there's a little warring factions here between Pfizer marketing and the powers that be.
	Yes, in fact...
	Well, here's an anti-Pfizer.
	Remember the smear campaign that was immediately blamed on a Russian troll factory?
	Now it's fact.
	Now we know that this was actually the Russians trying to target the potential export market for the Sputnik vaccine.
	So that's why they were discrediting Pfizer.
	Yeah, like, I'm going to have to believe that.
	Yeah, let's go track down that split and get a shot.
	So there's a couple of really interesting stories, and this came out of the UK. COVID can, in fact, be spread through flatulence.
	Well, this is not the first time this appeared.
	This was discussed about four months ago, as I recall.
	And it was the idea that farts cost, that you can get a COVID from somebody's flesh.
	I don't know if you remember.
	I remember it, but it was laughed off very quickly on this show.
	Sure, but this is now, the Telegraph is reporting this.
	So we should laugh even harder.
	The Telegraph.
	But they have some well-documented cases, but the science is not definitive.
	And this is ministers talking to each other, members of parliament, I guess.
	This minister told the Telegraph that as COVID is a respiratory disease, transmission and shedding is mostly taking place through the mouth and actually many through the nose.
	There is some stuff, it literally says stuff, credible-looking stuff from other countries, including Australia.
	Now, this does beg the question, I have a feeling Australian farts are much more severe than UK farts.
	Kangaroo meat.
	Exactly.
	But this is the level of idiocy we've gone to, we've gotten to.
	In the UK, local councils...
	Are calling up general practitioners and doctors and saying, hey, we would like to have the list of everybody who has not yet had the vaccine that is on your list.
	And the general practitioners appear to be giving it to them, according to one of our producers over there.
	It's possible.
	Yep, making lists.
	Very good.
	But the big breakthrough noise really came from Israel.
	And that's why, you know, this is back in the news, as Israel is pretty much, I think, it must be 90%, maybe 95% vaccinated as a complete Pfizer job, a jab job.
	And now nearly 40% of all new COVID patients were those who were previously vaccinated.
	And so, you know, I don't know what Pfizer is going to do.
	It was a great test case because everybody who gets COVID has to, I mean, 95% is probably a low number.
	Because anyone who gets COVID there has to have been vaccinated.
	It just pretty much, I think it's like it was a giant test.
	Yeah, totally.
	Well, let's get it straight from the horse's mouth.
	Let's go to former FDA commissioner and current board member of Pfizer, Dr.
	Scott Gottlieb.
	He's always on CNBC, my favorite show.
	And let's hear what he has to say.
	Hey, Scott.
	I saw the...
	I love how friendly they are.
	Hey Scott, good to see you.
	This is a podcast.
	This is serious financial news.
	Hey Scott, I saw the forecast from the CDC yesterday that said as of the week of August 14th, they anticipate for that week we'll have anywhere from 92,000 cases of COVID to 803 cases of COVID. That makes me feel like the CDC doesn't have any idea where we're headed or what's happening here.
	Have we lost track of this?
	I think they're having a very hard time modeling this, and they don't know where we are in this wave of infection.
	And I think it also reflects the fact that we're having a difficult time doing ascertainment, figuring out how much infection, in fact, is underway.
	And I think we're vastly under-measuring how much infection is already underway in the U.S. and where we are in this epidemic wave.
	I think we're probably further into it.
	than we're measuring right now.
	I think they're also having a hard time measuring what the components of immunity are and how durable the immunity is, and that's why you're seeing a very wide variance in the estimates.
	Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, in the modeling.
	They've never spoken about modeling the vaccination.
	They've never seen a chart.
	But okay, let's ask him about Israel.
	Doctor, you're, of course, on the board of Pfizer, one of the original creators of this vaccine.
	No, Moderna was.
	Sorry?
	I thought Moderna was.
	Yeah, you're absolutely right.
	I think Pfizer, well, they licensed it from BioNTech.
	Yeah, but I still think that Moderna predates Pfizer.
	Unless somebody can show us differently.
	Yeah, well, it doesn't matter.
	This is obviously the Pfizer segment, so we all know what's supposed to be said.
	A study in Israel effectively suggests that they drop in vaccine protection, and there seems to be a major debate about that.
	Where do you stand?
	Well, look, it's consistent with what we've been seeing over a prolonged period of time right now, which there seems to be a decline in efficacy, particularly around an older population vaccinated a while ago.
	And that's what's renewed this debate around providing boosters, particularly to the...
	To the frail elderly people in nursing homes, for example.
	And there's been some reported data that doesn't look that discouraging.
	It shows pretty good vaccine effectiveness overall against symptomatic disease, but a decline in effectiveness against any infection.
	But then there's been some leaks on top of that, some unsubstantiated leaks right now from the Israeli data set showing declining effectiveness against severe disease in the cohort that was vaccinated in January.
	So what the reports say And these are unconfirmed reports, is that there's about 80% effectiveness against symptomatic and severe disease in the cohort that was vaccinated in January.
	But when you age-stratify it, you see a sharp decline among the older population.
	So remember, in Israel, they vaccinated in January their healthcare workers and their frail elderly.
	And so in the older population, you see a more pronounced decline.
	Right.
	So this stuff doesn't even last six months.
	Yet, natural infection, which is a lifetime of protection, I usually get the shot anyway.
	Well, yeah.
	And I've done a lot of...
	And we've had some pretty good producer notes about the immune system and how the autoimmune...
	If you have an autoimmune disease, how that works, and then how you actually lose a lot of your natural immunity when you get this spike protein from the vaccine...
	It almost seems like putting another booster on top of that is insane.
	They couldn't kill off enough people with the first round, and so they're going to need a booster to get rid of the other old people.
	These old people in these old folks' homes, they're just useless eaters the way these people see it.
	They should be done away with, and this is a really good way to do it because it looks like you're doing everyone a favor.
	Coincidentally, the Department of Justice has dropped investigations into Michigan, Pennsylvania, and New York nursing home COVID-19 deaths.
	Oh, the ones that...
	How about that?
	You mean the COVID-19 murders in the nursing homes?
	Pretty much.
	Yeah, that's good.
	That's the Garland guy.
	That's the guy they wanted to make a Supreme Court justice.
	He's the one that heads the Justice Department.
	Pretty good, isn't it?
	Yeah, well, they got their man.
	They got their man.
	I have like a billion Biden clips that we'll get to later.
	I'm glad you went through those.
	Remember how disappointed I was on the last show?
	I know, you were very disappointed, so I said, okay, okay.
	And I said, now I, it's ridiculous.
	I only did, and by the way, you see all these clips?
	There's like a thousand of them?
	Half the show.
	Oh, just half of the town hall.
	Yeah, just half of the town hall.
	When I go to the second half, I'll put some more up next Sunday.
	But, since we're on the topic, I just want to play this clip.
	Yeah!
	You!
	Just so we all know where we stand, because you're talking about this all going on, I want you to play Biden WTF Pandemic.
	Biden...
	Okay, here we go.
	There's legitimate questions people can ask that they worry about getting vaccinated, but the questions should be asked, answered, and people should get vaccinated.
	But this is not a pandemic.
	We've made sure that since I got in office, we've inoculated over 160 million people.
	It's not a pandemic.
	No.
	So I just wanted to make sure that all this harem scarem clips that you're playing, the lockdown, all the rest of it, it's not a pandemic.
	Not a pandemic, people.
	Not a pandemic.
	So what's the fuss?
	Well, could it be just to sell more Pfizer?
	Could it be just to sell some boosters, make some more money for Pfizer?
	Doctor, I want to go back, though, to this idea of the booster shot.
	Why do you think the CDC thus far has been as resistant as it appears that they are to the suggestion that a booster could even be necessary?
	I mean, you're getting even the sort of ideas promulgated that Pfizer is pushing this because they want to do this for profit as opposed to It appears what you're saying, and maybe some of these studies are saying, that they actually may be needed.
	Well, look, if in fact we require boosters in the U.S., it'd be among an older population by and large.
	Anyone who's vaccinated now wouldn't need a booster.
	Anyone who's vaccinated during the summer who's young or healthy wouldn't need a booster going into the fall.
	So we're probably talking about 30 or 40 million injections out of 4 billion vaccines that are going to be delivered by Pfizer next year.
	What did he say?
	4 billion that are going to be delivered?
	Hold on a second.
	Injections out of 4 billion vaccines that are going to be delivered by Pfizer next year.
	This is not a big component of what Pfizer is going to be delivering to the world.
	So I sort of reject the notion that this is somehow an effort to try to get more vaccine out there.
	You know, it's actually brilliant now that I think about it.
	Because what is this ultimately about?
	And we saw a lot of the money that went from COVID relief into hospital systems who immediately gobbled up other hospitals, smaller hospital chains.
	We saw the incredible...
	I mean, ventilators?
	Who needs ventilators anymore?
	I mean, I'm not trying to trivialize it, but we made so many ventilators...
	And so much money was made.
	There was money made on the refrigeration for the vaccine.
	Still galling you.
	Very much.
	It was $2 billion for refrigeration that turned out wasn't needed or they act like it wasn't needed.
	Now, what have we in effect created?
	And I don't want to scare people because I think it's certainly not everybody who has issues after receiving the vaccination.
	It's a percentage.
	But it seems like it's groovy, you know, just more patients, more intake, more new customers.
	With, you know, autoimmune issues that pop up because of the weakened resistance, this is why people, we have examples of diabetes and shingles, and these are all autoimmune things.
	It's great.
	It's more money.
	So they don't actually have to get more money from the vaccination, although it seems clear that by next year they will have developed a COVID and flu vaccination in one, hence the call maybe for the testing machines that do both.
	Actually, I want to stop you.
	That's a red book item.
	Because that's what they did with the swine flu, if you recall.
	Yeah, I think you probably called this red book a long time ago.
	Is that they decide at some point, okay, well, we've made, we've spent, we've shot our wad.
	So let's come up, what are we going to do?
	Well, we can do a value add instead because there's money to be made with value add.
	Value adds.
	Everybody loves the term.
	And we can just incorporate it in the flu shot.
	So it actually may even be an alternative flu plus COVID or just flu shot.
	But everyone will opt out for the flu plus COVID because it'll be promoted.
	And so the next thing you know, all flu shots will be flu plus COVID. And for an extra probably five bucks.
	It was something really interesting.
	It's a winner.
	It's a winner.
	I'm in.
	There was something interesting.
	There's Professor Drosten, D-R-O-S-T-N. He's the German researcher cited for the first COVID test assay.
	So that's what goes into the tests.
	I'm going to read this verbatim.
	I did not know this.
	Previous successes recorded by Dr.
	Professor Drosten and his research group include the development of novel Zika virus tests, the development of a standard test for MERS, and the co-discoverers of the SARS virus in 2003.
	Isn't that interesting?
	One guy.
	One guy with his team.
	He discovers all these things and has all the tests for him and everything.
	Unbelievable.
	That guy's a genius.
	He must be.
	He must be.
	Let's see.
	What do I have here?
	A couple other things.
	Yeah, this was on Good Morning America, just talking about other diseases that have resulted from some of the measures taken.
	The CDC is reporting an uptick in respiratory viruses.
	Many are saying their summer cold systems are more severe this time around.
	This is a story we first saw in the New York Times.
	Let's break it down with Dr.
	Jen Ashen.
	Didn't only read about it in the New York Times.
	It ran through all my girls last month, and they did say it was more severe than they felt in the past.
	So why is this happening now?
	Well, it happened to me also last month, so they're not alone.
	It's happening to a lot of people, and there are a lot of theories involved.
	First of all, you know, we've been in a lockdown period, wearing masks, separated for a long time.
	So as we unmask, as we get closer together, that obviously increases exposure to these other pathogens.
	Also, our immune system needs constant stimulation.
	Now, that doesn't mean it's had permanent damage with the masks and the distancing, but that also can kind of delay the response.
	And make it more severe.
	And then this phenomenon known as immunity debt.
	Again, we need to be exposed to pathogens in order to keep our immune system well.
	But George, a year and a half ago, people hadn't really heard of coronavirus.
	Now it's not just coronavirus.
	It's rhinovirus, adenovirus, RSV, parainfluenza.
	There's a slew of respiratory pathogens that can give us some symptoms.
	And how do we tell the difference between these and COVID? Well, you know what I'm going to say.
	It's not your job to be your own doctor, even if you are a doctor.
	So try not to, you know, make that diagnosis yourself.
	Oh, gee.
	So because we had silly masks, which seems pretty clear they don't work.
	Lots of surgeons know you're not even wearing them in the theater anymore.
	Now we have all kinds of other respiratory illnesses because of immunity debt.
	I mean, this is...
	It's really...
	And just the ease which people pass this off.
	No, the ease which people pass this off.
	All right.
	We might as well get to some of the meat and potatoes.
	Let's just ask Fauci.
	Are we going for another lockdown?
	Given that...
	New cases have tripled over the last month.
	Is it possible we're heading towards a new lockdown?
	I don't see a lockdown in the future, Nora.
	Remember, when you're dealing with the sharp incline in cases, you are talking about overwhelmingly that among unvaccinated people.
	Such a lie.
	So many lies.
	We have the...
	Look around you.
	Just talk to anybody.
	Oh, yeah.
	You got it.
	Oh, you got it.
	100 vaccinated Royal Navy crew members infected with COVID on board the HMS Queen Elizabeth Warcraft.
	It's getting embarrassing.
	Well, I said this before, and it didn't happen the way I thought it would, which is the backing off.
	But this news phenomenon, which you've highlighted in this particular segment, of vaccinated people getting sick to an extreme, in other words, and dying, these reports have got to end.
	Journalistically, they're really scratching the edge there.
	They're punching the envelope.
	They're having trouble.
	Yes.
	And by the way, the Biden Town Hall was just...
	Laced with Biden lying about, oh, if you get the shot, you're never going to get in the hospital.
	Oh, gee, they did a fact check on that.
	NBC fact checked the president.
	While urging more Americans to get the shots, last night President Biden made this claim.
	You're not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations.
	But that's not true.
	But that's not true!
	No, it's not true!
	Alright, let's go to the endgame here.
	Let's go to the possible mandates, vaccine passports.
	This is what's being protested around the world except in the United States, which I find phenomenal that we're the country where the citizenry is armed.
	We're completely compliant.
	Well, hold on a second.
	I'm going to defend the American public here.
	Okay.
	First of all, and you...
	Does that include New York City?
	Does it include New York City and Austin?
	Or are you not defending them?
	I'm not defending anybody from New York City.
	I'm defending the general public that would be protesting this.
	You're in Austin.
	Well, you left Austin.
	You went to an area where they don't even wear masks.
	You said you're so relaxed.
	You don't have to wear masks.
	Nobody cares.
	Other people have moved into areas where there's no...
	We're scofflaws at a certain level in this country, and they have never put the clamp down.
	In California, during this whole beginning, last year, I'm talking about March, April, May, when the traffic was empty, you could go out and drive around.
	It was fantastic.
	You could...
	I left.
	I wasn't here.
	I was driving around, and I just...
	I read the regulations.
	The regulations were rather loose.
	I was a member of the media.
	I had media exemption.
	I could do whatever I wanted.
	And everybody else, you know, and if you weren't a member of the media, nobody was getting pulled over by the police.
	No one was getting citated.
	There was none of that going on.
	So we didn't have any reason to.
	If you put the clamps down, this is what happened with the American Revolution.
	A lot of people don't realize part of it was because of the taxation without representations.
	Because it wasn't, if you look into it from a lot of perspectives, it will tell you the same story.
	It wasn't that we rebelled because of the taxation.
	We rebelled because they enforced the taxation.
	At some point, King George III, they actually lowered the taxes on tea and all these things that they were bitching about.
	But they put an enforcement mechanism in it.
	And on this show, I'm always talking about enforcement mechanisms because I worked for an enforcement agency.
	Which one?
	And I understand the difference.
	So they weren't clamping down on the American public.
	They weren't making a big fuss like they do in France or Australia and knocking on doors, making sure you're inside.
	So we could do what we wanted.
	I mean, a lot of people, yeah, it was all voluntary.
	So I don't believe that we were put into position to riot.
	Well, I... Yes, I think you're right.
	And I think it's still true.
	I sure...
	I hope...
	I believe it as well.
	I hope.
	But, you know, the people out here...
	Austin, there's still connections to Austin, so we're still concerned.
	Yeah, your little sojourn in Austin after living in San Francisco, then L.A., has skewed your perspective.
	It's following me.
	That's the problem.
	It's like the rain stick rain.
	It's following me.
	Okay, so yes, indeed, we do not have lockdowns.
	But what's happening, I'll just give you an example.
	Even though I'm out of Austin, I'm still getting these calls and texts.
	This is an important message.
	Austin Public Health has an important message for you.
	COVID-19 is spreading rapidly in Austin.
	Austin Public Health is recommending people, regardless of vaccination status, wear a mask indoors and outdoors when you can't socially distance.
	For those who are partially or unvaccinated, we need to ask more from you.
	We strongly encourage you to stay home and set for essential trips.
	And please consider getting vaccinated now.
	Getting vaccinated is the best way to stop the spread of COVID-19.
	Visit vaccines.gov to find where you can get your free vaccine.
	That's still in the vaccine.
	Yeah, Phase 4 in Austin.
	So I have not received any reports, but mandated now, masks, indoors, outdoors, if you haven't been vaccinated, hang yourself, do anything, but don't be a free human.
	So I'm waiting to see what comes from that.
	Now, before I get into...
	Well, actually, let's play the...
	You probably saw this, but this was big news because it's one of those pockets of variants where the variant factories live.
	It's the South.
	It's the red states.
	Ah, it's the conservatives.
	Ah, it's Alabama.
	But meemaw, the governor, she had this to say.
	Back here at home, cases are surging, and it doesn't get much clearer than this.
	This.
	What is it going to take to get people to get shots in arms?
	I don't know.
	You tell me.
	Folks supposed to have common sense.
	But it's time to start blaming the unvaccinated folks, not the regular folks.
	It's the unvaccinated folks that are letting us stay.
	But as a leader of the state, don't you think it's your responsibility to try and help get this situation under control?
	I've done all I know how to do.
	I can encourage you to do something, but I can't make you take care of yourself.
	Wow, that is remarkable.
	Governors are furious.
	Hospitals are overwhelmed.
	The economy is shaky, and yet Americans are still refusing a life-saving tool that the rest of the world desperately wants.
	Who is this breathless reporter?
	That's Mika.
	That's Mika Brzezinski from Morning Joe.
	Oh, she's the, you know, that woman.
	Now, let's go back to Dr.
	Scott Gottlieb, and let's talk to him about mandates, because, you know, everything is kind of flowing into each other.
	Mandates, vaccine passports, it's two sides of the same coin.
	You know, you can have a mandate from your government, which we don't have, and I doubt will happen, although there's a lot of people calling for it.
	And in France, in fact, there is a form of a mandate.
	From what we've heard from the president, it may not be true.
	So how about here?
	What's going to happen in America?
	Well, I think we already know how it's going to go.
	Can you weigh in on what we're hearing from the NFL overnight about their plans?
	Effectively, to try to incentivize or de-incentivize people who don't take the vaccine and to get the entire teams, the clubs, to all be vaccinated.
	Effectively, they're saying, look, if you're not vaccinated and something happens and you have to forfeit, it's going to cost you and it's going to cost you money.
	Yeah, well, it certainly looks like a way to mandate vaccination without mandating vaccination.
	I think as we head into the fall and the winter, hopefully the vaccines achieve full approval.
	I think you're going to see more businesses do this.
	I think you're going to see more mandates get put in place.
	Certainly in a healthcare setting, you're starting to see that become more commonplace.
	Business wants to restart.
	People want to restart activities.
	And to the extent that the vaccines are going to provide an added measure to be able to do that safely and protect venues where you're bringing people together, I think you're going to see more...
	Sports teams, more business venues, start to mandate vaccination.
	He's such a clairvoyant.
	Of course, the sports teams.
	That's where you're really going to show your muscle.
	That's an easy one.
	Yeah, you can't come to your work if you're not vaccinated, or you just won't get paid for your work.
	And you get millions.
	This was the...
	Get millions from whom?
	Those sports guys get millions.
	It's not like you or me or somebody works at a $15 an hour job and says, I'm not going to take the vaccine.
	Those guys make millions, like $10, $20, $40 million a year, some of them.
	I got the impression that, maybe that's from some of the lower ranked players, that if the team doesn't make money because we had to cancel or forfeit, then you're not going to get paid either.
	Don't they have paid docking?
	I thought they had that in the NFL. They have, it's usually called fines.
	Fines, okay.
	They had this latest rule, which is not going to hold up.
	Oh, okay.
	By the way, no one's going to forfeit.
	The forfeiting means that you get so many people testing positive, you can't field a team.
	Hold on, hold on.
	I've been following you.
	No, I know.
	That's why.
	I want to play the report for myself, and then I want you to deliver this commentary.
	Tonight, a warning from the NFL to its teams.
	If there's a COVID outbreak and players are not vaccinated, prepare to forfeit and lose the game.
	The league has tried to get players immunized.
	78% have gotten at least one dose.
	The NFL commissioner sent out a memo saying that any team which causes a game to be canceled will be responsible for financial losses and players on both teams won't get paid.
	They're hoping...
	As players begin to report to training camp this week into next week, that they'll start getting vaccinated so that they can meet that sort of threshold that they've all set for one another, around 85 or so percent for all teams.
	DeAndre Hopkins, one of the players who says he won't get vaccinated, tweeted this.
	Being in a position to hurt my team because I don't want to partake in the vaccine is making me question my future in the NFL. All right, now I'd love to hear it since you've been following it.
	Alright, they already have enough people vaccinated in the NFL that the idea of a forfeiture, which specifically says you can't field a team, is nonsense.
	It's not going to happen.
	There's going to be no forfeits.
	They just threw this in to kind of scare people.
	Ah, what you're saying is they've got enough guys on every team that they can always play the game.
	Yeah, they can field the team.
	Mm-hmm.
	Because there's only 11 people out there, and in fact, say you have a 44-man roster, you could play, and a lot of guys can go play two-way.
	They can play the offense and defense if you really had to, but that's not going to happen because everyone's got vaccinations except a few holdouts like DeAndre Hopkins, who is such a valuable player.
	He's like maybe the best wide receiver in the league that...
	He's just not going to get the shot and nothing's going to come of it.
	He's just going to coast through it or just test them a lot.
	It's going to get on his nerves.
	So this is more marketing than actual threat to the game.
	I believe it's all marketing.
	Well, here's how it works.
	Let me just continue because they've also introduced something else, which is this is a marketing and a distraction.
	Oh.
	The distraction is that the NFL and all its glamorous wisdom has decided that, at least for the first few games of the year until people get pissed off about this, that they're not only going to play the national anthem at the beginning of the games, they're going to play the black national anthem.
	Now, I didn't know there was a black national anthem.
	Yes.
	Yes, I did, actually.
	It seems that there's a black national anthem.
	I didn't know there was a black nation.
	Is this a different nation?
	Different country?
	Different?
	What?
	I don't get it.
	Is there a black nation that's different than the American nation?
	I don't know.
	But this was becoming an issue right away, and boom, all of a sudden, this shows up, this bullcrap.
	Ah!
	Ah!
	Excellent.
	I like that analysis.
	That makes total sense.
	However, it has worked very poorly.
	Mo, when this came out, Mo, who was a huge...
	Now, he already gave up on basketball.
	He gave up on basketball with the whole King James China thing.
	Now, that I think is more typical with Mo.
	I don't think he's by himself on that, by the way.
	No, no.
	But this, the NFL, this with the basically mandating vaccines for the players, the way it's marketed, he says he's out.
	I mean, he's like a fantasy league player.
	He's totally into it.
	And he said, no, he's going to learn how to play the mandolin.
	I made that up.
	It wouldn't be funny.
	It's a better use of his time.
	It'd be funny to have Mo playing the mandolin.
	If we all practiced a musical instrument during a three-hour football game, we'd be better off.
	The world would be much better off.
	That is a good analysis.
	They really needed something to distract from that.
	Because, yeah, I saw that get in legs and it just kind of disappeared.
	That's a very good catch.
	So you'll be seeing DeAndre Hopkins play next season.
	For you fans of the team.
	No, that's good.
	For you fans left.
	If you really look at the numbers, 48...
	If we're going to call it by color, as the media likes to do, white Americans, 48% vaccinated.
	Black Americans is...
	I think it's 32...
	But really, it's the brown Americans.
	They are very wary of the vaccine.
	And even around here, if I go to HEB, most brown Americans, I don't know where they're from, but I'm just going to call them brown like the media does, they're all wearing masks.
	So I'm presuming that they're not taking the vaccine and that they're just very careful.
	And it's very obvious.
	Hmm.
	Italy also protesting against passports.
	No green pass.
	They're against the actual green pass.
	And I just want to remind us of that Red Book entry, the reason why the COVID pass in the European Union is called the green pass.
	It will unavoidably be used for some green passage if your carbon rating is correct or something.
	Yeah, there's no doubt about it.
	The green is not a coincidence.
	And this is interesting.
	One of our producers, now he went to a critical care facility to get his vaccination.
	I'm sorry, he got a test.
	No, he got a vaccine.
	He got a vaccination earlier and he thought he had it.
	He went back to get a COVID-19 test.
	First, he sent me a little snippet, which I put in the show notes.
	I said, dude, this could have been from a telegram group.
	And he sent me the full document with his name redacted.
	I'm putting this part in.
	It's a little warning from the clinic where he got his test.
	Your rapid COVID-19 test was negative.
	Please still use caution and wear a mask to protect yourself and others while continuing tactical aversions of other humanoids.
	What?
	No way.
	Yes, that's exactly what I said.
	There's no way this is bogus.
	That's why I told him.
	I said, dude, you got to send the full thing, which he did.
	It's really there.
	I don't believe it.
	It's a critical care.
	It could have been just them having a joke.
	I mean, that's possible that they just put that on there.
	Okay, let's say I'm working there.
	If I was working at a place where it was required, John, get to work.
	Can you write this memo up?
	We've got to post this.
	I don't have time to post it.
	I've got other things to do.
	Just do it.
	Just do it.
	Okay, okay, I'll do it.
	And I would put that in.
	I would put that in and maybe one other gag.
	Well, there's only one that I could find, but I thought that was...
	I mean, there's got to be a reference to some game or something where that's tactical avoidance of humanoids.
	I know these kinds of...
	I'm one of them.
	I'm one of these guys who do stuff like this.
	Less jokey is, you know, whenever you want to propagate something in the United States, and certainly if you want to do something to communicate to our black American brothers and sisters, again, the media uses colors.
	You always go through the ministers and the reverends.
	That's why we have Reverend Al Sharpton, the Reverend Jesse Jackson.
	You know, this is not a mistake.
	These are communicators for the boule or for the elites, the Illuminati, or for just the pharmaceutical industry, whoever's got the money.
	So I am in possession of prayers for COVID, which is a huge PDF, and there's attribution which reverend or minister and several rabbis, and they have prayers, and I'd like to share one.
	A prayer for COVID-19.
	Would you like to hear this prayer?
	Yeah.
	A prayer for receiving the COVID vaccine.
	I have been praying for this day and now it is here.
	With great excitement, a touch of trepidation, and with deep gratitude, I give thanks to all the scientists who toil day and night so that I might receive this tiny vaccination that will protect me and all souls around this world.
	With the pandemic still raging, I am blessed to do my part to defeat it.
	Let this be the beginning of a new day, a new time of hope, of joy, of freedom, and most of all, of health.
	I thank you, God, for blessing me with life, for sustaining my life, and for enabling me to reach this awe-filled moment.
	Amen?
	And a woman.
	Doesn't say a woman.
	No, I made that up.
	But this is, they're praying to science.
	There's an element of blasphemy in that.
	No shit!
	Yeah.
	It's one after another.
	The way I see it.
	It's like, oh, okay.
	Here's something that is very suspicious.
	There's been an actual lawsuit or an ongoing campaign for the participants in the NovoVax vaccine trial in the United Kingdom.
	At issue is that the people who, everyone who was involved in this, now as far as I know, the people who had placebo administered to them were later, Pfizer certainly did it, were later given the actual vaccine, but I do not know that for sure about Novavax.
	But the motion that made it all the way into the House of the Parliament was, you know, even if we got the placebo, we should get a vaccine passport.
	And so said, so done.
	I'm grateful for the Honourable Member's question, Mr.
	Speaker.
	On the Novavax trial participants, they will have their vaccine pass in the United Kingdom.
	And of course, we're working with other countries to make sure that that is recognised.
	But as far as the UK is concerned, they will be considered as fully vaccinated whether they've had the placebo or the vaccine.
	Really, no.
	Really, no.
	I find this...
	That's interesting.
	I find this rather disturbing.
	If I were a believer that I could get sick from an unvaccinated person, despite my double-jabbed and J&J top-ups and everything, that would be very disturbing, but no.
	Huh.
	Oh, and I have a gaffe.
	I got another gaffe.
	I love these gaffes.
	This time it's Newsmax, and Newsmax is talking to Senator Dr.
	Rand Paul.
	And see if you can spot the gas.
	For children, the bar is going to be much greater because children get almost no COVID symptoms.
	They rarely die from it.
	It's about one in a million.
	And so we're going to have to be even more stringent with proving the safety of the vaccine.
	If you're over 65, you know, it's about 2,000 people out of every million die instead of one.
	Yeah, and this vaccine, Senator, this vaccine is not FDA approved for senior citizens.
	Senator, you said 100 million people have had coronavirus in this country.
	I know that 200 million have had at least one shot of the virus.
	That's 300 million.
	That's the majority of the country right there.
	Why doesn't somebody tell that to Dr.
	Fauci?
	Well, some have had both.
	Some have both had the disease and the vaccine, but we should study that also because we would want to know, is the vaccine more dangerous or are you more likely to have serious side effects?
	So there are rare side effects.
	Thrombocytopenia is one.
	You didn't hear it, did you?
	Nope.
	Okay.
	It's in the beginning.
	I was listening carefully to it.
	I know.
	It's so...
	To be honest, I almost missed it again myself.
	For children, the bar is going to be much greater because children get almost no COVID symptoms.
	They rarely die from it.
	It's about one in a million.
	And so we're going to have to be even more stringent with proving the safety of the vaccine.
	If you're over 65, you know, it's about 2,000 people out of every million die instead of one.
	This vaccine is not FDA approved for senior citizens.
	Senator, you said 100 million people have had coronavirus in this country.
	I know that 200 million have had at least one shot of the virus.
	That's 300 million.
	That's that's.
	Come on.
	Yep.
	Yep.
	You know, I listened for it, too, the first time.
	I know.
	Focusing a little bit helped noticing it, but it's one of our switcheroos where they say virus instead of vaccine, or vaccine instead of virus, and yeah, that's a good one.
	That's a hard one, though, for some reason.
	Very hard to hear.
	There's something hypnotic about, I think it's the boredom factor.
	This is so boring.
	That's why we spice it up.
	We have people that write us notes, stop talking about this.
	And there's a boredom element and you get lulled.
	Yeah.
	Okay, yeah.
	Yeah, they can over-promote this stuff, you know?
	They really can.
	People just withdraw and witness the ratings.
	Even the president had lost of all three news networks.
	It was on CNN's town hall.
	Oh, that was the worst.
	It had lost to MSNBC. Just regular programming.
	I mean, that tells you something right there.
	They're not interested in COVID, not interested in the president, they're doing other things, they don't care.
	Yeah.
	They can't keep the public jacked up this long.
	Now, I will mention something I noticed, and I'm going to have to put this in an essay.
	I'm going to have to do something to get this information as part of the litany, which is that in the original pandemic, the Spanish flu pandemic of the late 1918 era, It did have...
	It did...
	It had a big effect the first year, and it actually had a secondary effect the second year.
	In other words, this...
	What we're seeing, which is people getting COVID, whether it's the Delta variant or whether it's just COVID and this nonsense about the variants.
	That would happen in the...
	Because I looked at the...
	At this charts for the...
	The Spanish flu, and it had a big bump, very similar to the one we had with COVID. And then the next year, there was another big, it wasn't a big, big bump.
	It was about a 50% or a 30% of the original bump, and then it disappeared completely in the third year.
	So we're stuck with this thing.
	For the whole two years, it wasn't like SARS, which they really got rid of really fast because they really clamped down on it.
	This thing got into the wild to an extreme.
	And this to me, I think they're just patterning their pitches after what happened in the 1918 episode.
	Okay, well, is this going to happen?
	What can we do to sell more vaccines?
	Yeah.
	It reminds me of my day trading days when I look at some of these charts of infections and hospitalizations where you'd be looking at this rise like, oh, it's just going up.
	I mean, it really is going up.
	And then you forget you have to zoom out to see the whole year of trading and it turns out it's way down at the bottom with a little blip that you're looking at.
	These are all these beautiful tricks that can be played that just, you know, everyone falls.
	It's easy to fall for that.
	Although, you remember the golfer John Rahm?
	Yeah.
	He has now tested positive for COVID a second time in two months.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	This poor guy.
	What have they got against him?
	I don't know.
	They don't like him for sure.
	This is something very weird.
	Some people test positive on these not-for-diagnostics-intended PCR, quote, tests for months.
	For months.
	Yes, this is true.
	Carrying virus.
	All right, I'm about ready to wrap this up.
	We do have to check in one more time with the now seemingly wiped off from the news cycle.
	Is it a lab?
	Is it a bat?
	Well, even Fauci is starting to backtrack.
	What was your impression of what he would say, say, a month ago or two months ago about this conspiracy theory?
	It's not just that.
	It was a conspiracy theory.
	It's no evidence to show this is a bat, you know, that it's other than a bat virus or a pangolin or something.
	Yeah.
	And he even said that, he even told Rand Paul officially that he doesn't know what he's talking about.
	And his official status from Starfleet.
	I'm telling you that officially.
	I'm putting you on notice.
	Well, let's see how he talks now.
	I wrote in the Washington Post today, the foreign policy columnist, that what everyone can now see clearly is that the NIH was collaborating on risky research with a Chinese lab that had zero transparency, zero accountability during a crisis.
	No one in a position of power, he says, addressed that.
	Fauci is arguing the system worked.
	It didn't.
	What do you make of it?
	You know, it's more complicated than that, Neil.
	I don't know if you can explain it in the brief period of time.
	If you look at the research that was done, it was research that was highly recommended by peer-reviewed, our United States peer reviews.
	Hold on a second.
	Do we have our United...
	Is there a United States Bureau of Peer Reviews?
	Because he sure makes it sound like that.
	You know, I have to mention something here because there's no way to clip it.
	But it was on...
	I watch CGTV quite a bit.
	China Global TV. And it's all propaganda, and especially during this anniversary of the Communist Party.
	And they were doing a thing about the origins of the virus, and for some reason, I don't know why, it had nothing to do with what they were saying, but they shot a quick, like a 10-frame hold of the Fort Detrick, Maryland...
	You know, it's like their sign that says, Welcome to Fort Dietrich.
	It's their counter to the Wuhan virology lab.
	It's our place.
	And they just put that on the screen for a split second without saying anything about it.
	They just kept talking.
	This is the part of the war that comes before we start shooting at each other.
	The information war is first.
	Then we're pre-kinetic right now, I think.
	So they got this Fort Detrick thing there, and then they go off on their merry way.
	And I'm looking at this going, what?
	That's great.
	I can't blame them.
	Good job.
	They're learning.
	Because the original thinking was that this was developed in Fort Detrick, and then because of the shutdown of gain-of-function research in the United States, it was just shut down.
	They just know it's illegal now.
	They shipped it to the Wuhan place.
	They don't want to talk about this.
	That's fantastic.
	But the Chinese know.
	Yeah.
	Well, let's listen to Fauci, and he's going to try and explain this a little differently than he's been doing so far.
	You know, it's more complicated than that, Neil.
	I don't know if we can explain it in the brief period of time we have.
	If you look at the research that was done, it was research that was highly recommended by peer-reviewed, our United States peer-reviewed.
	It got a very high score in the peer review system, and the purpose of the research was very, very clear.
	Again, that was what I wanted to ask you.
	Is there such a thing as the peer review system and the United States of Peer Review Department?
	Because he's making it sound like this is some, isn't that just per publication?
	Now that he mentions it, I wonder if there's not like...
	It's like when you're running a news operation, you have your Rolodex of people to call.
	That's why Gottlieb gets on all these shows.
	I think there's probably people that are involved in peer review to such an extent that they're part of a list.
	And it goes out to them when you finish something.
	For example, say you wrote a paper and you want to get it peer-reviewed.
	How do you do that?
	Do you have a bunch of peers in your back pocket?
	I don't think so.
	It's the U.S. DPR. Didn't you know that?
	Well, what he says is a generalization, but I'll bet you there's a mechanism that allows this to work, and that's what he's talking about.
	That has to be it.
	Well, I've never heard it described that way.
	The peer review process?
	Yes.
	The peer review, like the United States peer review, the United States Department of Peer Review?
	I'm not going to beat him up.
	We beat him up enough.
	We don't need to...
	Oh, no, no.
	I'm pummeling him until it's just a limp sack of broken bones.
	Well, it'll be a while.
	Here we go.
	period of time we have.
	If you look at the research that was done, it was research that was highly recommended by peer-reviewed, our United States peer-reviewed.
	It got a very high score in the peer-reviewed system, and the purpose of the research was very, very clear.
	It was to try and determine what was out there in the bad population that might be ultimately risky for us.
	It was done in the context of trying to find out what the precise environmental bad source was of SARS-CoV-1 so that we could prevent SARS-CoV-2.
	So it was research that was done by qualified people.
	Right now when there's all of this thing about China, that's a different situation now back then when you were dealing with qualified, highly respected Chinese scientists.
	So it isn't what was made out to be about dealing with Really, really bad people because those scientists were very well respected in the scientific community internationally.
	Now, did you understand a word he said?
	I know what he was trying to say.
	He's trying to beat around the bush.
	You know, he's not addressing a couple of...
	The elephant in the room seems to me...
	If this was developed at that lab in Wuhan, how did it get out?
	Was it taken out as a weapon?
	Or did it just escape by some bonehead?
	Because the safety mechanisms at that lab suck, which...
	Technically, it's true, because they've shown time and time again that that lab is not the most safe in the world.
	So, I don't know.
	He's just trying to...
	He's covering up.
	Yeah, well, what it sounds like to me is, to your point, there was gain-of-function research being done, probably partially, at least at Fort Detrick.
	The original reasoning was, hey, can this be turned into a biological weapon?
	And the second question would be, can we use it?
	But then when it got, when they started to shut this down, they moved it off to the Wuhan lab, and there it was either, you know, and that's where stuff happened.
	But he's really backtracking on that this is just a conspiracy theory.
	Well, he must know something's coming out.
	Gosh.
	I sure hope so.
	The results of the Arizona audit.
	That's what's coming out.
	Um...
	I've been watching the Olympics.
	It really sucks.
	Oh, you know, I haven't watched it really seriously, but every time I tune in to see some of it, and there's these empty stands and these people doing stuff just by themselves, it's got such low energy that it's like, it gives you the creeps.
	You don't want to watch it.
	Yeah.
	I mean, I was even watching water polo and just trying to get into the spirit of it.
	It's very hard.
	There's no cheering section.
	There's no cutting away to the parents.
	All that human interest stuff.
	By the way, there's been zero human interest.
	Did you know that Toyota pulled out entirely?
	This thing is a disaster.
	Ratings are down, I think, 50%, if not more, over the last Olympic coverage.
	And as usual, to me, it's a globalist slave party under the guise of representing, I'm serious, representing your country.
	A globalist slave party?
	Yeah, globalists.
	It's the GSP, the globalist slave party.
	It's so big, they can only do it once every four years.
	And all the elites, which is the Olympic Committee, the IOC, they bring all their buddies from corporations and they all go have a great time.
	And we're led to, of course, they're young people who are athletes and they have a 24-month window of training up to the Olympics and then making something out of yourself and hopefully getting one of the deals from the cronies who are all hanging out with the they're young people who are athletes and they have a 24-month window It's really quite disgusting.
	I mean, do you even get paid anything?
	for these Olympics?
	No.
	Do you see the beds?
	They're on cardboard box beds that fold out.
	Yeah.
	And then this, this really blew my mind.
	This is from the BBC, a little nasally sound.
	This is the part of the opening ceremonies.
	This is a little thing they threw on the screen with the Olympic laurel.
	And the Olympic Laurel is a prize that they give away to someone who has done something beautiful for humanity, who clearly is not in sports.
	Listen to this.
	The Olympic Laurel recognizes an outstanding contribution to the Olympic vision and values in the field of culture, development, or peace through sport.
	For Tokyo 2020, that award goes to Nobel Laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus.
	The father of social business and microcredit, Professor Yunus established the Gramine Bank in 1983, fueled by the belief that credit is a fundamental human right.
	Credit is a fundamental human right.
	What?
	Did you just play?
	That was from the BBC, the opening ceremonies where they honor the Olympic laurel recipient.
	This, uh...
	It sounded so dystopian.
	I know, that's what makes it so good.
	This is what makes it so good.
	Something about human rights for credit?
	No, credit.
	Let me give you the backstory.
	I heard what he said, credit is a basic human right, but what kind of insane person would say something like that?
	This professor, who was his name again?
	Yeah, hold on.
	Nobel laureate, Professor Muhammad Yunus.
	Nobel laureate, Professor Muhammad Yunus.
	The father of social business and microcredit.
	The father of social business and microcredit.
	No, we can hear it.
	It's not garbled.
	Well, isn't that the kind of stuff that has enslaved Africa through cell phone microcredit?
	The people of Haiti, cell phone microcredit?
	Isn't that what the big cell phone guys got all the deals from, probably through mainly the Clinton Foundation to provide this?
	Wasn't that the idea?
	Yes!
	Why are you so shocked?
	Well, because now they're just blatantly saying credit is a human right!
	Yeah, it's genius.
	The Grameen Bank in 1983, fueled by the belief that credit is a fundamental human right.
	It is right out of a sci-fi movie.
	That is great.
	That's right, you debt slaves.
	Beautiful.
	With that, I'd like to thank you for your courage to say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in the human right of credit, ladies and gentlemen, Mr.
	John C. Dvorak.
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	Also, in the morning to all credit slaves.
	Boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the days and nights out there.
	In the morning to all of our trolls in the troll room.
	Credit troll slaves.
	Yes, let's count them.
	Hold on a second.
	Hands up, slaves.
	Let me hear what you got here.
	Whoa!
	Okay, I'm liking what I see.
	Good job, trolls.
	2358.
	That's good.
	That's up.
	The average for Sunday is 2200.
	Yeah.
	So we're up.
	So what is triggering this?
	It can't be the boring COVID coverage.
	Yes, they've been pounded to death.
	Everyone's afraid.
	People are afraid.
	People are afraid.
	They tune in for the voice of reason.
	And when they hear us joking about stuff, They think, ah, look at those two old dudes.
	Old dudes.
	It's not that bad.
	Life's okay.
	We're going to be fine.
	Those trolls are looking for more to join.
	They always would like more trolls in the troll room.
	You can find them at trollroom.io.
	And this is not just any old troll room.
	It's a special troll room where you can also listen to the live stream, which we do on Thursdays and Sundays.
	Darren O'Neill streams live before us.
	Nick the Rat streams Wednesday night.
	DH Unplugged, I think, also streams.
	Simulcast streams.
	This is 24-hour 7 operation.
	And if we're not streaming live, it's podcasts that are part of No Agenda Nation, Gitmo Nation.
	And you can sit there and troll.
	Troll them, troll along, troll each other, have fun.
	Just check in, see how everyone's doing.
	Trollroom.io.
	You can also find a large contingent of us on the Fediverse.
	We have a Mastodon server, which we have quite a number of people on.
	You cannot sign up anymore, but you can get to us from any other Mastodon server through the Fediverse.
	And you can follow John C. Dvorak at NoAgendaSocial.com or Adam at NoAgendaSocial.com.
	And before you know it, you'll have all of Gitmo Nation streaming through your timeline.
	Now let's thank the artist for episode...
	What were we?
	1366.
	We titled it The Pingdemic.
	It was almost unanimous.
	We knew that that had to be the title.
	No, it's too good.
	And the cover art came from Nessworks, and this was, Thou shalt not talk to thy neighbor.
	Based upon the commandment from the New South Wales, was it the health minister, health official?
	It says, you know, even if you go out for two minutes, don't talk to anybody.
	Now, I got some pushback on this part.
	And some people were not amused that we were mocking his or her Lord.
	Ah, well, I say, okay, this was actually discussed in the discussion.
	Yes, it was.
	I said that this was borderline blasphemous.
	So we're aware of the problem.
	Yes.
	But the image of Jesus with a mask on To me, it had so much social commentary burnt into it that it had to be chosen.
	And if people were offended, then they were missing the absurdity of it.
	And that's what this was.
	In fact, I want to mention this aspect of this art, and Nessworks in particular.
	Ness Works is a very accomplished cover art guy.
	I've used this stuff for the newsletter all the time, but it tends to be, it tends to lack, it doesn't win a lot in these competitions because it lacks an element, and the element which, if an artwork can achieve this, you'll probably get picked.
	An absurdist element.
	Yes.
	And the element of absurdity is really always very compelling to the two of us.
	We are attracted to it.
	Yes, very much.
	Because the basic show is about the absurdity of everything.
	Yes, we are attracted to absurdity.
	And so the absurd element of a Jesus figure, this is not Jesus, nobody said it was.
	Aha, you see?
	Yes.
	of a Jesus-like figure wearing a mask is so ultimately absurd.
	That this art had to be picked.
	And if Nestworks can actually get his brain into that mode, or a lot of these other artists can too, the absurdity mode, you'll get your stuff picked a lot more.
	And this is his most absurd piece ever.
	And so it was picked for that reason.
	So we apologize to anyone who is maybe offended, but you shouldn't have been offended to begin with.
	We're going to take that tact.
	I agree.
	Because it's one thing, it's almost like what, we can't do drawings of Muhammad either?
	Oh, wait.
	Can't do drawings of Muhammad.
	Now, There was a lot of art.
	There is increasingly more art.
	Most of it was dick art?
	Is that what you'd prefer?
	Just dicks flying around because of the Bezos thing?
	There was blowjob art?
	I enjoyed the Van Jones crying in a heap of gold.
	That was actually quite a good one.
	Actually, if that was better executed, it could have won.
	And Tom DeNeal's Olympics logo was...
	Masks are hard to pick up when they're small.
	It doesn't really read well.
	And Kenny Ben's free speech with the British guy in jail was dynamite.
	Yeah.
	That was really, really good.
	But again, it didn't hold up to the thou shalt not talk to thy neighbor.
	Which, by the way, would have been Moses.
	Am I right?
	Actually, in a funny way, yeah, they'll shout, yeah, the Ten Commandments.
	It's a reference to the Ten Commandments.
	That could have been Moses.
	The credit karma blowjobs, very funny, but no.
	No, those blowjobs are never going to get in, and neither dicks are going to get in.
	And by the way, we are banning, and anyone should know this, and this is an art, this is a message to...
	This is a message to Matthew Dropko.
	Yeah.
	That little baby with his fist, holding his fist, shaking his fist, that image is so trite and cliched and annoying that that will never get picked.
	If you put that little baby in an artwork, and I'm sure Darren's going to put one in right now, but it's just never going to get picked.
	So you're just wasting your time.
	But some people do that just to send us a message or say, hey, I love you.
	No, Darren does that in comic strip blogger.
	They do that all the time.
	Yeah, who did all the blowjobs?
	There it is.
	Darren, Kenny Ben.
	Mm-hmm.
	That's my people.
	Yeah.
	There you go.
	Funny, though.
	Yeah, so the kid totally blocked forever.
	Now, an honorable mention for Tonta Neal's The Hospitalist with the laminated tag, the laminated credentials.
	Yeah, I like that piece a lot.
	And the reason was, it wasn't going to have any pop, so we weren't going to pick it.
	But the creativity of it, to have the No Agenda show name on the lanyard.
	Yeah, that was good.
	And it's just a very, very artsy, but a little dull, nice piece we liked.
	Yeah.
	Just looking ahead...
	There's a lot of pieces that we can talk about, because this was a good submission.
	Just looking ahead, have you seen Tonton Nails' Do Not Inhale art that she's already made for this show?
	I'm not saying...
	Oh, yeah, I'm surprised that's her that did that.
	That's what I like so much about it, that this is a woman doing this.
	Because we all know, women do not pass gas.
	This is more of a piece that I would expect from comic strip vlogger.
	It's pretty good.
	And then there's the flying unicorn with gas coming out of his butt.
	That's my little pony.
	My little unicorn pony or something.
	That's actually quite funny.
	Okay, so if you are using a podcasting 2.0 compatible app, which you can find at newpodcastapps.com, you're seeing this right now rolling through in your podcast app, which is done by Dreb Scott with our chapters.
	I did want to mention one other thing about an advancement in podcasting 2.0 I'm very excited about.
	While the space jerks were floating around for 10 minutes, The developers, mainly Martin and Benjamin, and I think Alex over at Podcasting 2.0, have for the first time implemented cross-app comments.
	So you can comment on an episode, no matter what app you're using, it'll show up on all the other apps.
	I know it seems a trivial thing, but I think it's a great step for mankind.
	Never been done.
	This is where you go.
	That's amazing.
	Alright, well let's get on with our group.
	Alright, this is part of our value for value model, which means we expect you to produce the show with us.
	You do it with your time, your talent, your treasure, the people who come in with the right amounts, and of course with their notes, as they can do as executive and associate executive producers.
	We thank them right up front.
	Let's go.
	Starting with anonymous, 333.39.
	No name, no location.
	He says, I'm a Duke, and this is for the shape-shifting Jews jingle.
	No outlawing of jingles.
	Anything goes.
	They'll really do whatever you want.
	You could beat my ass with a bat, and I'd still not have a bad word to say it.
	I don't know which Duke this is, but for some reason he wants us to play the shape-shifting Jews clip, which we were discussing on Banning forever, but yet he won't mention who he is.
	But it's okay for us to get in trouble.
	But the Duke himself won't mention who he is.
	So I've received a lot of email about this.
	From a lot of Jewish listeners, and they do not want...
	In fact, they think it's horrible that we even are considering retiring it.
	So I think we have to adhere to the mob.
	Roll on, roll on for the magical shape-shifting Jews!
	Step right this way!
	Roll on!
	You've got karma.
	And by the way, that jingle is an example of the absurdist aspect of the No Agenda show.
	Someone actually sent me the history of how that came to be.
	And it was funny because I think it was either a Jew or someone else who was making this joke himself.
	It was a reason for it.
	There was a Jewish guy who wrote in bitching about shape-shifting Jews.
	And it was funny, whatever he said.
	And then somebody came up with a jingle because he just caught a Beatles song in his head, I guess, and came up with a jingle.
	And then it's become quasi-popular.
	Yeah.
	Let's go on and leave it at that.
	Terry Dominelli at 333.33 comes in as an executive producer and using the, that's our special, this executive producer donation drive is this number.
	We're trying to get everyone to be an executive producer at least once in their lives.
	With the donation of 333 I just made, I am now a dame.
	According to the counting on the spreadsheet, it took some time, but I finally got there.
	Dame Lydia is fine.
	It's an old-fashioned name.
	Goat karma for all.
	Congratulations.
	See you on the podium.
	You've got karma.
	Okay.
	We have Travis Mjolnir.
	Mjolnir?
	33333.
	Another one of those executive producer drive donations.
	Jingle request, complete Al Sharpton and build back better.
	We don't have enough show for a complete Al Sharpton.
	Yeah, but we do have...
	He wants a long one.
	Yeah, I got the long one.
	We rarely play the long respect and it's pretty good.
	It has a lot of stuff in there.
	This is credited to the next titlage level for Dame Zephyr.
	We'll keep track.
	Yes, you should.
	As Dame Zephyr and I, also known as Mrs.
	Mjolnir, but also known as Sheila Mjolnir, we're headed back to Sioux Falls, South Dakota from our anniversary road trip around Texas.
	We ended up on Oklahoma 33, Which, after just now looking it up on the map to make sure I had the road designation right, I discovered it's both OK3 and OK33. Well, that makes sense for this 333.33 donation.
	It's those little reminders from the universe.
	Also, John, I was surprised when you nailed the pronunciation of our German last name as exactly the way we Milner say it.
	Like Molnir.
	Well, I've been saying it wrong, apparently.
	Well, Adam said it the way about 90% of people here say it.
	Molnir.
	So it's Molnir.
	All right, good.
	I was expecting a more German pronunciation like Molnir.
	It's great and interesting, though.
	I know this is another late note and donation, and the note may not make it to Sunday's show.
	Well, it did.
	That's okay, as I have to capture the moment as it seizes us.
	Apparently, I should have requested jingles with my gift to my beautiful, hot, and wonderful wife, Sheila, last weekend, so this is a make good.
	Thank you for filtering the good parts of newsworthy events so I don't have to.
	From Travis Molnar, for Mrs.
	Molnar, Sheila.
	I just missed them.
	They came very near where we live, and I just missed them on Thursday night after the show, I think, as they were moving on.
	So here is the longer, complete Al Sharpton.
	He's getting lunch at Chipotle.
	The Tortoise in the race.
	Kim Kardashian.
	Siganoi Weaver.
	Rush.
	R-E-S-P-I-C-T.
	They're all jitty.
	R-E-S-P-I-C-T.
	There's no real conflict.
	Resist.
	We must.
	Resist.
	Just a little bit.
	We must.
	Just a little bit.
	Be committed.
	For a better life beyond your freedom.
	Build back better for someone else.
	Mmm, yummy, yummy.
	Robert Slack in Glendale, Arizona.
	This is another name that you would pronounce wrong, generally speaking.
	I would.
	It's spelled S-L-A-G-H-T, and he pronounced it Slack.
	I pronounced it Slate, maybe.
	He's in Glendale, Arizona, 333.33.
	ITM, I love the show, and please keep up the good work.
	I've finally gotten my act together, and with this donation and the accounting below, I can become a knight known as Sir Robert Slack.
	I would like the classic hookers and blow for the round table.
	And for jingles, I'd like a little build back better.
	Twofer.
	There you go.
	There's your random number.
	A climate gate, classic karma.
	And if you can find it in the sound effect for the noodle gun, not the full jingle or the pew-pew.
	Originally, you had this limp sound that I thought was just perfect for the noodle gun.
	I don't know what he's talking about necessarily, but you might.
	Lastly, I would like to tell my lovely wife, Mel G., I think, and adorable baby daughter, Audrey, that I love them.
	Here's to you guys.
	Never quit or find your exit strategy.
	Yes, let me see.
	Well, I think what he's talking about most likely is...
	That is the original noodle gun sound, if you recall.
	And here's the rest.
	To the gate, to the gate, to the climate gaze.
	For a better life, beyond your freedom, build back better for someone else.
	We got them all.
	You've got karma.
	We've got a whole Build Back Better jingle package totally ready.
	Just like see something, say something.
	Do the elites ever call?
	Do they want the good work?
	No.
	Never.
	Not invented here.
	Yes, exactly.
	Never.
	Not invented here.
	We have a couple of donors here I don't have notes for.
	Robert Thatcher from Cookville, Tennessee, 333.
	And Joel Nelson has his note from.
	He's got his thing.
	I looked at it with this email, and Joel, I found your mail from June and a bunch of other mails, but not this one, unless Adam has it.
	No, I also looked.
	We have...
	Oh, no, that's not it.
	No.
	I have none of this.
	None of this came through.
	I have other notes that were MIA. Now, are these make-goods?
	These...
	The ones that...
	The MIAs are the make goods, so...
	Okay.
	No, this...
	I don't know.
	We don't have it, so just send us something else and we'll read it some other time.
	I will read Emma Vallette in Jefferson, Louisiana.
	She's a first associate executive producer at 25788.
	Happy 33rd birthday to my smoking hot husband, Stephen Stephen.
	Vallette, may he please be de-douched.
	Yes, he may.
	You've been de-douched.
	Thank you for being the most incredible dad to our adorable human, no, human resource, not humanoid.
	We love you more than you'll ever know.
	No jingles, just karma.
	You got it.
	You've got karma.
	Now we're well into associate executive producer credits.
	Baronet Sir Phenom from Appleton, Wisconsin, 241.58.
	It's the Baron here, checking in from Appleton, Wisconsin, birthplace of Greta Van Suster in childhood home of Harry Houdini and the final resting place of Senator Joseph McCarthy.
	All that's missing is the big ball of string.
	Please see my attached accounting, this donation.
	I am finally, one, an associate executive producer, as all other donations fell below this level, and two...
	A baron!
	Look at that.
	I would like...
	You can get there.
	I love that.
	I would like to claim for my barony Iceland.
	I tried to look it up on the peerage map, but it isn't working.
	And a cached image from someplace on the DuckDuckGo showed it unclaimed.
	Is it the decision of the peerage committee that I can claim Iceland?
	Yeah.
	Good.
	I don't even have to do any research to know that.
	Why Iceland?
	I've actually been there.
	It's a unique place.
	They have endless energy.
	And Bjork!
	What more could a dude want?
	They also have, I should mention, people want to travel through Iceland because you can do that on Icelandic air because they always want to stop in Reykjavik.
	The Icelanders have this tremendous wool from these weird sheep that you'll see when you drive around Iceland.
	There's this screwball-looking sheep.
	They all have like Rastafarian sheep.
	And their wool is naturally waterproof.
	And so it's used to make sweaters.
	And the best wool shop...
	And sweaters and blankets.
	The blankets are fantastic.
	And the best wool shop in the entire country is actually at the airport.
	Is that the big mall you always talk about?
	Well, it's not a big mall, but the airport is big.
	I mean, it's a shopping area.
	All the European ones are.
	But this has a wool shop in it that's just dynamite.
	Just a little tip for you travelers.
	That's a good tip.
	Do you have any products from this wool?
	Oh, yeah.
	I bought two or three sweaters and a blanket.
	Wow.
	And by the way, you bring them in duty-free because they're handmade goods.
	Nice.
	No jingles, just relationship karma.
	And if I could kindly ask Adam to play the title change Bowie version rather than the version made to sound like that whiny dude Bob Zimmerman from Minnesota Nuts, I'd appreciate it.
	Yes, done.
	Also, put me on the birthday list for next Wednesday, the 28th, for 54 cycles on this mortal coil.
	And what would a donation be without a heartfelt thank you, gents, for all you continue to do, as you have in the decade plus since I've made my twice-weekly donation to the best podcast in the universe, The show, the amygdala-shrinking content, and the community are candles in the window on a cold, dark winter's night.
	In the morning, and spelling it out rather than typing the initials so the squirrel mail filters don't zap me, Baron Sir Phenom of Iceland.
	Yep, looking forward to it, you bet, and I'm gonna throw a karma your way.
	You've got karma.
	But you get this.
	Yes. Sir Ka.
	Sir.
	Sir Ka.
	Three, four, five, six.
	This is one of our favorite numbers.
	Just heard you accidentally play my shitty JCD three by three by accident on Thursday's show.
	Yeah, that's true.
	It just made me laugh.
	Dvorak has said he has thoughts on AMD stock.
	I would like to hear them sometime.
	Sir Ka.
	What are your thoughts on the AMD? Back in the trading days, I made quite some...
	AMD's a great stock to trade up and down.
	Yeah.
	It's gone up way, way up, way beyond anything.
	I mean, I had recommended...
	In the days when I was writing for MarketWatch, I had recommended the stock.
	And you'd have cleaned up if you'd bought it.
	Then I got fired.
	When the women took over.
	And...
	It was...
	I don't know.
	I don't really have a...
	I do, yeah.
	But I'm not going to...
	No.
	Go listen to DHM Plug one of these days.
	I'll talk about it there.
	Sarah Woods next on the list.
	$222.44.
	On the last show, 1366, you mentioned my podcast, Awake Not Whoop.
	Yes!
	The fun clip where she said she loves the show and there's two old dudes.
	A soul-crushing moment.
	I can't thank you enough for mentioning their show.
	Someone alerted me on Instagram that you shouted us out and I immediately listened to the episode and got to say I wasn't expecting you to have a clip of the show and everything.
	What a treat that was!
	I knew that was the sign that I had to donate so please dedouche me.
	You've been de-douched.
	By the way, I have to say I love it that other podcasters donate to our podcast.
	It's fantastic.
	Yeah, it is.
	Now that I've paid you a few compliments.
	First, the podcast is Awake Not Woke.
	Not Awake But Not Woke, which I think is what I said.
	Whoops.
	So it's awake, colon, not woke.
	There's a different podcast with the latter title that has only released one episode back in 2020, and that was not us.
	Also, there's a couple of other awake, but not woke, other things, awake, not woke.
	I guess it's a pun that's going around.
	We release new episodes every Sunday.
	Second, I am on the border of Gen Z and Millennial, because we predicted they were both Gen Z, I think.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And I would rather be grouped with the millennials as I have always been an old soul.
	Old soul.
	An old soul millennial.
	Everybody, it's the old dude to the old soul.
	My co-host Chaz is a millennial.
	So not Zoomers, thank you.
	I hear some disdain.
	Disdain I hear there.
	This is the intergenerational stuff that we discuss in great detail on this show.
	And the only show that does so, I might add, because it's very difficult.
	You have to have a lot of, you have to have your hooks in a lot of generations to make it work.
	Third, I emailed Adam about trying podcasting 2.0 and all he said was, quote, it'll get easier next week and nothing else.
	I'm a horrible promoter.
	So, yes, that's what she's trying to say.
	I'd like to understand when this, I have to look at when this email came in.
	So I am trying, but this is very new to me.
	Also, I'm sorry for harming Adam's ego with the old dude's comment, but hey, just being honest, just being honest, got you twice now.
	Damn.
	But really, thank you guys again for sharing the clip.
	I am pleased to say that we will not sign some contract with Spotify as free speech is important to us.
	The clip you played actually demonstrated my attempt at dancing around things I want to say so I don't get censored on Apple Podcasts or Spotify too early in the game.
	Give up.
	But I will not sacrifice my free speech for money and sponsors.
	Wow.
	I would love to implement a value for value one day, but until then, stay awake, not woke.
	Sorry the note is so long.
	It's just a nice warm podcaster's goat karma would be useful.
	Love is lit, she says, Sarah.
	Love is lit.
	Yeah, it's on there.
	I just want to see when that $60 million offer comes in from Spotify.
	Yeah.
	That's very beautiful.
	I like that.
	Congratulations.
	And if I said, I want to know when I said it was going to get easier next week, I don't know what the context was, but I will follow up because it will get easier next week.
	We're trying every day to make it better and easier.
	That was nice.
	And I should mention that it's not that you can, one of these days I'll have a chat if you want and we can discuss how you can implement value for value properly.
	Yes.
	Because it's more in the mindset and the attitude and the pitch.
	You just need a pep talk.
	Yes, exactly.
	A couple of little tips.
	A couple of tips, mostly pep talk.
	The one thing I noticed that somehow got into the lexicon, in which I want to remind people, value for value is not tips.
	You have all these, send me a tip, tip jar, tip and me, all these tip, tip, tip, tip, tip things.
	Value for value is not tips.
	Tips is something you give to someone in addition for a good service.
	This is value.
	Does that make sense?
	Yeah, in fact, I can't agree with you more.
	In fact, we eschewed the idea of tip jars.
	And in fact, there used to be, in the early days, there used to be a showdown between the two.
	When PayPal first came out of the shoot, there was a competitor called tipjar.com.
	And it failed.
	Good point.
	What happened to tipjar.com?
	It's either bought up by someone or it just folded.
	I have no idea.
	Wow.
	I mean, the domain is still active and it goes to domain for sale.
	No, the domain is not for sale.
	A vision statement since 1996.
	Holy crap, there's still something up there, John.
	With a hit counter.
	Yeah.
	That's how old tip jar is.
	It has a hit counter.
	Yeah, so that was a fail.
	And you're absolutely right.
	These are not tips.
	And that's the beauty of the value for value model.
	It's closer to some companies.
	You have the honesty bar where you go and you pour yourself a drink and then you put the money in the till as if you'd bought the drink.
	It's more like that than just tips.
	Well, it's also a different pricing mechanism.
	Instead of us saying, you know, give us a tip, just a tip, or send us $5.
	Yeah, tip also is diminutive.
	The tip is like the tip of the iceberg.
	We don't want the tip of the iceberg.
	No, you want the full thing.
	You don't want just the tip.
	We don't want the iceberg.
	Yeah, I want that full man.
	Thank you very much.
	Let me do the goat karma before I forget here.
	You've got...
	Okay, here's a couple notes that we missed or that we could...
	Well, wait, before you do that, we've got one more on the list.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	Yeah, we have Agnes.
	I believe she's on the bottom there.
	She came in from Toronto with $200.
	The only note I have from her is a quick question.
	And she says, Hi, guys.
	She came in with $200.
	Is it possible if I can add my letter as well?
	This stuff is pretty new to me.
	Thank you in advance.
	Answer?
	Yes.
	So send it to us.
	Yes, you can.
	So just send us something else and we'll read it to you.
	We got a couple of missing in action notes to read as we speak.
	Yeah, let me do the first one from Margareta Denhut.
	Adam and John, I started listening to this.
	This is from the previous episode.
	Note was lost in transit.
	I started listening to the show in June of 2020 after hearing Adam on The Joe Rogan Show.
	Finally stop being a lazy ass and click that magic donation button, please deduce me!
	Oh, that was something that...
	You've been deduced.
	I am Dutch-American.
	I was raised in the Netherlands and moved to the USA in 2009.
	I now live in Orangevale, California with my amazing husband Matt and our four human resources.
	I miss my family in the Netherlands dearly and regularly check the travel potential between the two countries.
	This is what I found today.
	And she has a link to the state.gov Netherlands Travel Advisory page, where she says, please note the warning for terrorism in the Netherlands.
	It actually, I looked at the page, it says, do not travel to the Netherlands.
	Warning for terrorism.
	Okay.
	What?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Do they have American right-wingers there?
	It's domestic violent extremists from America.
	Let me see what it says.
	I want to look at the updated.
	Netherlands Travel Advisory.
	Netherlands, level four.
	Do not travel.
	Warning, warning, warning.
	And if you go to the warning, one, there's a health risks are present, including current disease, outbreaks, or crises that disrupt a country's medical infrastructure.
	And the T is for terrorist attacks have occurred and or specific threats against civilians, groups, or other targets may exist.
	What?
	Yeah.
	Well, it is the crime-ridden country of the Netherlands.
	Well, it is crime-ridden, yes, yes.
	There's that.
	Yeah.
	But so is Chicago.
	Well, you know, this also maybe comes in combo of...
	Remember the crime reporter, Peter R. de Vries, who was shot in the head?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, he died.
	He didn't make it.
	But thank you, Margareta, and...
	That's kind of weird.
	Do not travel, citizen.
	Okay.
	From Will Robb, this goes back two episodes.
	This is 1365.
	Thank you both for all you do.
	It's with great reverence that I am requesting a dedouching.
	You've been dedouched.
	I've been a listener since Adam's first appearance on Joe Rogan Show.
	This is my first donation.
	As a person with the healthy distrust of the media and the government, I was immediately hooked.
	Haven't missed an episode since.
	I frequently shout out the same one-word comment John does while clips are being played, which makes me feel like my critical thinking skills are on the right track.
	I either say, oh brother, or some obscenity.
	That's pretty much it.
	Adam, I have to thank you for your book recommendation, Change Your Words, Change Your World, by Andrea Gardner.
	It's been a powerful addition to the library and helpful in seeing the world of abundance that is available to us if we are open to it.
	Since finishing the audio book, I'd like to repeat this phrase several times a day.
	Quote, I am ready to receive all the blessings that we are waiting in the universe to come to me.
	Great things are happening so far, and I recommend all listening to give it a try.
	I would like to recommend The Four Agreements as well by Don Miguel Ruiz.
	Is this note from Joel Osteen?
	Yeah.
	No, it's from Will Robb.
	Oh, I thought it was Joel Osteen.
	Have some faith, John.
	Lastly, I work for a wonderful company, M&M Roofing Sliding and Windows, and hope to make myself available to no-agenda producers from San Antone up through Austin and surrounding areas in response to recent hailstorms and any other issues resulting from shakes of the rain stick gone awry.
	Oh, this is...
	Put his number aside.
	Yes.
	It could come in handy.
	You can...
	NA producers can reach out to me by email at W-R-O-B-B, Will Robb, W-R-O-B-B, at mmroofsiding.com.
	You can always rewind that if you need to hear it.
	Love is lit, Will.
	Thank you, Will.
	And then the final note, Nova Fadli.
	And Nova Fodley says, first off, please de-douche me.
	You've been de-douched.
	I am Nova from Ninja Sushi in Del City, Oklahoma.
	One morning, my business partner pointed a finger to my face, asking to get a vaccine and said, I don't want to send a body bag to Indonesia if I died from Delta variant.
	That's kind of harsh.
	Since I am first generation of immigrant and have no family in the great USA, that's a sign for me to donate to No Agenda.
	I love your thinking.
	Yeah, the thinking's...
	Outstanding.
	Thank you for the sanity since the pandemic start.
	I started a few businesses during lockdown and benefited from it.
	That's why I donated.
	I would like a jobs karma for those who are looking for a job or creating jobs.
	Go out there to make money and don't forget to donate.
	P.S. If no agenda listeners come to Ninja Sushi, the gay one who donated, not the straight...
	It's the gay one who donated, not the straight one.
	Oh, this was a nighting.
	Oh, okay.
	So let me check these on the list.
	He wanted to be knighted the gay ninja with a request for sushi and mutton and mead at the round table.
	So let me just make sure.
	Is he on the list?
	So we always have mutton and mead, so people don't need to request that.
	But sushi is...
	Yes, but this is...
	Everybody have a specific roll or some cut.
	Nova family becomes...
	Yes, but Nova...
	I'm just writing it down because we didn't have that in there.
	Become Sir Gay Ninja.
	And we worry about the shape-shifting Jews.
	Hi, boys!
	And I am putting your...
	Now, that's very stereotypical.
	No reason for you to do that.
	I didn't do, I didn't look, well, okay, but I didn't overdo it.
	Oh, okay.
	Huh?
	No, no, no, it was close.
	All right, okay, I've got, okay, all of the administrative work has been done.
	Well, thank you very much, everybody.
	We've got more people to thank after the D-block, and we also have some fun meet-up reports and lots of things to do.
	But this is the segment where we round it off for our executive producers.
	Everyone should be one at least once in their life, and our associate executive producers for episode 1367.
	If you'd like to join in this merry bunch of freaks, go ahead and go to dvorak.org.
	Thank you again for your time, talent, treasure for producing 1367.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Order!
	Order!
	Shut up, slave!
	Shut up, Steve.
	Joe Biden.
	Yes.
	Joe Biden, our president.
	President Biden, to be exact.
	I'm very glad you did this because the more I saw clips of this, the more I thought Wow, we may have missed an opportunity here.
	Well, the opportunity is not missed and here we are.
	Yeah, I think the M5M is very confused about what to do with our president.
	They don't know what to do.
	In this situation, luckily they've got low ratings.
	But these clips are going around and around and around.
	And I have a different take on some of them because I'm not looking at them.
	It's just bumbling.
	And I'm agreeing now with Adam.
	Who thinks a lot of this is stuttering.
	And I'm not going to condemn Biden for stuttering.
	But when he loses his train of thought and stutters, I think it's all connected.
	When he loses his mind.
	When he loses his actual mind.
	A couple of things I want to get out of the way first.
	And one of these is a clip that's not on the big list.
	I spelled it wrong.
	I got Niden, N-I-D-E-N. And I want to play this clip because there's a lot of fact-checking that went on, and this is a piece of it that should go on now.
	We've lost more people in the United States, over 630-some thousand people, than in every major war we've ever fought.
	We lost, according to all...
	In believable estimates, we lost 750,000 people in the Civil War alone.
	So that is, that's wrong.
	So he's fully, yes, he's wrong.
	I don't know where that meme came from, but most of what he said was just a bunch of memes that came up.
	I get to do the fact check false.
	Yes, well, you can play it after every clip.
	So let's start off with the two decades, the WTF clip, Biden, two decades, WTF. Everybody talks about how, you know, this virus came, the drugs that were designed to kill the virus came along so quickly.
	Been working on it for two decades.
	There's nothing quick about this.
	It's been over two decades.
	So people say, I'm not taking a drug that was so approved so quickly.
	It's been two decades.
	Wow, that's very misleading what he's saying there.
	You think?
	Because the technology has been around for two decades.
	And it's been around for two...
	Here's the question that should have been the follow-up.
	Oh, really?
	Two decades?
	Well, if it's been around for two decades, how come it's not FDA approved?
	How many decades do you need?
	And is that what Don Lemon asked?
	No, no.
	Don Lemon, all he did was stand there and giggle.
	Here's the early ramble.
	This is the incoherent early ramble that got picked up by everybody, and I'm not going to let it slide.
	I've heard you speak about it, because I'm not being solicitous, but you...
	You're always straight up about what you're doing.
	And the question is whether or not we should be in a position where you are...
	Why can't the experts say, we know that this virus is, in fact, it's going to be...
	We know why all the drugs approved are not temporarily approved, but permanently approved.
	That's underway, too.
	I expect that to occur quickly.
	Well, that means...
	You mean for the FDA? Here's how that went.
	Don, Don, Don.
	He's losing his mind.
	Ask him about the FDA. He'll remember that.
	FDA, FDA. Seriously, because he kicked back into gear when Lemon asked about the FDA. Yeah, he kicked back into gear once in a while.
	If somebody slapped him, it would be better.
	Here's another one that got a lot of play.
	This is the man on the moon one.
	Yeah, this is my favorite.
	Trusting interlocutors, think of the people.
	If your kid wanted to find out...
	Whether or not there's a man on the moon, or whether those aliens are here or not.
	Who are the people they talk to beyond the kids who love talking about it?
	They go to people they respect.
	Now, children, old people, sorry, drunk people, They often speak the truth.
	And I'm just...
	Did he mean man on the moon like the face of the man on the moon or the man ever landed on the moon?
	Because if he meant man landing on the moon, then he put it in the same category as aliens.
	And the guy's a mess.
	This is very, very messy.
	This is worse than Trump ever was.
	And Trump was off the rails often.
	Yeah.
	But not completely incoherent.
	No.
	Now, the one thing that I picked up on, which I thought was original, because no one else noticed this, and it's based on this, the first, this clip that says, just play this clip, this is a short, this is actually an ISO for end of the show, perhaps.
	All kidding.
	But all kidding aside.
	Now, he...
	He has this tendency to say no joke, all kidding aside.
	And he does it, and I think that this should be discussed by the mainstream or somebody.
	He does it at inopportune times.
	You know the awkward smile that you get from people when they're talking about something serious and they give a big smile in the middle of it?
	And it's like, why are you doing that smile?
	Or they laugh in the middle of something and they're saying, you know, a lot of people have died.
	Ha ha ha ha.
	I mean, Bill Gates does this.
	Right, right, right.
	But Biden has this tendency to say, no, I'm not, I'm no kidding.
	No, no, no joke.
	No joke.
	But when he says all kidding aside, that means you can pretty much disregard everything he said up to that point.
	Well, that's...
	That's the parse version, but that's not what he means.
	He has this nervous belief that people are laughing at him behind his back or something.
	There's something more deep than that, and here's the reason.
	I've got three examples where he says something that people like, and they start clapping for him because they like what he said, And then because he hears the clapping, he freaks out and goes, no, no, I'm not kidding.
	No joke.
	I'm being serious.
	I'm not being facetious.
	Oh, that's a trigger somehow for him.
	So here's three examples, and there's more where this came from.
	But this is the three I picked up on.
	Let's try by an example number one.
	Oh, you have a zero.
	Do you want me to not play the zero?
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	There's a zero.
	That's right.
	Play the zero.
	What is the White House doing to combat medical misinformation and to restore America's faith in science?
	What we're doing is, number one, restore America's faith in science, is listen to the scientists.
	I'm not joking.
	I mean, literally, listen to the scientists.
	Huh.
	That is inoperative.
	That one, the applause came right in the middle of it as it's speaking.
	The better examples are the next ones.
	Let's play example number one.
	It's not just important that we're...
	I really mean it.
	They start clapping for something, and he says, I really mean it.
	What does he think they're clapping for?
	That's baffling.
	What makes you think that they can come together on anything?
	These people.
	No, I mean it.
	I'm not being facetious.
	Oh, man.
	There's got to be...
	I mean, that is in him.
	That's a very good catch.
	So he always does it when people applaud or laugh or make any response to something he said.
	Yeah, here's example three.
	You know, your governor is a good man.
	You shake his hand, it's done.
	No, I really mean...
	I'm not being falsely complimentary.
	You think it's going to move forward in the Senate on Monday?
	I do.
	Here's what I think.
	Gosh, where does that come from?
	That's very interesting.
	That's a good observation.
	It's sick.
	And in fact, in that last example, Lemon spotted him doing it, I think, and interrupted him to keep him from going on and on about, I'm not being facetious, I'm not joking, no kidding, while people are applauding him.
	This is the strangest phenomenon I've ever seen, where somebody is, applause is generally praise.
	He sees it as some negative thing, or he's hearing laughter, or they think he's kidding.
	What is wrong with this guy?
	Well, do you think that this is, maybe one of our producers can let us know if this is something that occurs with dementia?
	That's a possibility.
	Hmm.
	Well, it's a good trigger.
	You know what?
	Listening for him doing that now, at least I can get through it.
	I'm not kidding.
	Not a joke.
	I'm going to try and do that.
	Not kidding.
	Not a joke.
	I'm not being facetious.
	Whenever you laugh at something, I'm going to say, it's not a joke.
	Not a joke.
	Think of the sickness.
	When you make a joke and people laugh, and then you say it's not a joke.
	It's kind of what is going on here.
	I mean, it's just...
	Beyond me, but it happens over and over.
	And I mean, I gave here's four examples I just gave.
	And I think there's plenty out there if you want, because he keeps saying not a joke.
	I'm not being facetious.
	Who thinks you're being facetious, you idiot?
	So let's play.
	Here's the Biden BS on teachers.
	Back to the regular clips.
	One of the reasons why, you remember the criticism I got initially saying teachers should get vaccinated, get in line first.
	The vast majority of teachers are vaccinated, number one.
	He's always got this number one, number two.
	Oh yeah, always.
	Wait, what criticism did he ever get for saying teachers should be vaccinated first?
	I think everybody said that.
	Yeah.
	So what is he, he's giving himself some negative, some, oh, I'm...
	I beat back the criticism.
	There was no criticism.
	This is a lie.
	Play this clip one more time.
	One of the reasons why, you remember the criticism I got initially saying teachers should get vaccinated and get in line first.
	The vast majority of teachers are vaccinated, number one.
	Yeah, I don't know what that is.
	I don't know what that is.
	It's a lie.
	Yeah.
	Here's another example of him...
	I'm apologizing for speaking.
	These clips are very short.
	This is one second.
	This is Biden.
	I'm serious.
	No, I'm serious.
	Think about it.
	That's something he says all the time.
	I would like it to be a regular clip for the collection.
	Okay.
	Because it fits in there with, oh, see the juice.
	It doesn't have quite the same dynamics and doesn't fit well with the Trump aroused jingle, but yeah.
	Okay, well, you don't have to.
	We'll see if people like it.
	Okay, now here we have, this was him out in public, because I didn't get the clip where he's talking about, does everyone think that Democrats are bloodsuckers?
	And they suck the blood of children.
	I don't know why I don't have that clip in here, but I don't.
	I happen to have that.
	Hold on a second.
	You mean the one from the original?
	I think you have the new one, but the original one was with Donna.
	No, no.
	The one I have is the one where he went out in public and somebody asked him about it.
	Right.
	Well, that was on the tarmac.
	But this was after the original one, which I have, which is this happened on stage.
	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 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.
	Not when you're sucking the blood out of children, we don't.
	So this was a reporter on the tarmac at Air Force One.
	It's not just out in the public.
	Do you have her question as well?
	Because I have this clip, if you don't.
	Well, you can kind of hear...
	Her question is kind of...
	This is hard...
	This clip is hard to hear.
	Mike, which one of our two is longest?
	Well, I sweetened mine to bring up the reporter.
	Oh, well, then the sweetened version obviously has priority.
	And are there people who, in the Democratic Party...
	Are there people in the Republican Party who think we're sucking the blood out of kids?
	I'm not sure.
	Are there people in the Democratic Party?
	So I think, beside the fact that President Biden repeats this insane thing that no one has asked him about, and the question is something about the people in the Republican Party, he says, well...
	Are there people in the Republican Party who think it was sucking the blood out of babies?
	And the poor reporter goes, well, I'm not really sure about that, but...
	Because the press...
	I think the press at this point...
	I don't know.
	I think the press at this point knows...
	It sounds like she's almost like, well, I'm sorry, Grandpa, but that's not really what I'm talking about.
	Can we get them back on track?
	Listen again.
	Are there people in the Republican Party who think we're sucking the blood out of kids?
	I'm not sure.
	Are there people in the Democratic Party?
	I'm not sure.
	The reporter is better than Biden.
	I'm not sure.
	I don't know.
	Maybe.
	Could be.
	I mean, everything I hear on TV kind of points toward it.
	So, yeah, maybe.
	All right.
	The last clip I have for this episode is the medley.
	Oh, we have a medley.
	The medley is always the way to go.
	So this is just random little dumb crap that he says, I put together a one and a half minute medley of Biden at his best.
	But all kidding aside, those of you who travel abroad, not a joke.
	Not a joke.
	I'm serious.
	Heads of state.
	I give you my words.
	Wait, stop.
	Stop the medley.
	Medley is halted.
	You got to start it over because I do have a setup I got to mention.
	Nothing on this medley was repeated.
	So when Biden says not a joke, not a joke, he actually said it twice, which he did a couple of times, by the way.
	And many times he says something three times.
	When I do some of these, I will like sometimes put in, you know, I will mess with.
	There's nothing but original material on here.
	There's nothing repeated.
	I didn't trick.
	I didn't add a horn.
	I didn't add a boing.
	This is straight up.
	So I just wanted to make that clear.
	So here we go.
	But all kidding aside, those of you who travel abroad, not a joke.
	Not a joke.
	I'm serious.
	Heads of state.
	I give you my word as a Biden.
	I'm not a joke.
	Xi Jinping in China.
	Who I know well.
	We don't agree on a lot of things.
	He's a bright and really tough guy.
	These guys actually are betting.
	I'm not joking.
	On autocracies.
	It really has.
	Not a joke.
	Number one.
	My message is...
	Let me finish the question.
	The answer, experts say, we know that this virus is, in fact, it's going to be, we know why all the drugs approved are not temporarily approved, but permanently approved.
	To allay their fields, the various, that misinformation is going to kill people.
	Not a joke.
	Not a joke.
	I mean, come on.
	I'm not being a wise guy now.
	I shouldn't make fun of it.
	That's good.
	It's good.
	It's good that I'm feeling better about it.
	I'm not being a wise guy now.
	We will, in fact, reduce inflation.
	Reduce inflation.
	Reduce inflation.
	I sincerely mean this.
	Well, guess what?
	People stop working.
	People are coming back.
	And guess what?
	You understand what I'm saying?
	It relates to what, in fact, is now needed because we're growing.
	Look, no, I'm not being facetious.
	I'm not being facetious.
	You had up to 20 Republicans sign a letter.
	Wow.
	If I ever get to meet the president, President Biden, I will ask him to tell me a joke.
	Because none of what he says is ever a joke.
	Please, tell me a joke.
	I don't know.
	It's really disheartening.
	And it's just not being covered by anybody, this guy.
	Except the Australian Sky News.
	They just hound this guy.
	It really is only Australian Sky News.
	It's pretty good.
	Even Fox won't go into it.
	I mean, they'll bring something up or they'll have a little...
	I watched the Fox, I watched Frau Ingraham, and I watched Hannity, and they had some of this.
	Like, very little.
	They have a little clip here and a little clip there.
	They did the not a joke with the bell ringing.
	Oh, really?
	They're doing bells?
	They're doing bells now?
	Yeah, they had not a joke.
	And excuse me, what is this, my word as a Biden...
	I don't know.
	My word is a Biden.
	Yeah, that was in there.
	Or did he say, my word is a blind man?
	I don't know.
	I couldn't hear it.
	I said Biden.
	My word is a Biden.
	My word is a Biden.
	Okay.
	But it's not really, again, except for Sky News Australia, this is not being really looked at.
	Except by the best podcast in the universe.
	No, it's horrible.
	It's horrible.
	Well, there's a lot we can do, but since we're talking about how the press is not covering any of this properly, and by properly I mean in any equal fashion to how they reported on Trump, Certainly with his weird speech habits and outbursts, etc.
	Underpants are kind of showing.
	So let's go over to KQED, where the KQED crew was so happy.
	They were so honored to have Yamiche Alcindor on the show.
	And people who are big fans of Yamiche could ask questions because she's the hero.
	You see, she is a hero.
	Now, personally, from the no agenda perspective, and we do regret that we made so much fun of Gwen Ifill, because when Gwen Ifill passed away, that's when everything went to crap on PBS. It just fell apart.
	And Yamiche is the new Gwen, correct?
	Yes.
	Well, I mean, she's the, since they do this checklist style of affirmative action.
	We lost a black woman.
	We need a black woman.
	Call Central Casting.
	So they brought in Yamiche, and you know, I think that Central Casting did us a solid.
	Some people just love her.
	Well, let me see if I can sneak Tommy from Walnut Creek in.
	Hi, Tommy.
	Hi.
	Oh my gosh.
	Yamiche Alexander, you're my hero.
	Thank you.
	That's so sweet.
	An absolute superfan.
	I'm a regular old 54-year-old suburban dad.
	Daughters who I tell to watch all the time.
	One of them might be a photojournalist one day.
	And yeah, the way you stood calm in front of 45 and kept your professionalism was just amazing.
	I have a t-shirt that has your sepia picture on it with a true superhero, you know, thing on it.
	And just watching you and Judy and Lisa and Amy and Tamara is just inspiring.
	So yeah, it's absolute love.
	Thank you for bringing true, like, trueness to the world of media because we've just really suffered through...
	To some times when that hasn't been it and you're an absolute lighthouse of hope.
	A lighthouse of hope.
	Okay, I had to give you a clip of the day for digging that crap up.
	Clip of the day.
	You're right in my backyard.
	But wait, but wait, it gets better.
	Find the gaffe.
	I don't know if you heard my question, but I was really struck by the fact that you, that Trump was the first sitting president that you covered because, I mean, just your professionalism in the face of some of the things that he would say, some of the bullying, I mean, for lack of a better way of describing it.
	And I'm curious what lessons you learned from that.
	It's a great question.
	Former President Trump was the first president that I ever covered.
	I had encountered people, especially politicians, who would sometimes get aggressive, who would sometimes, trying to score political points or trying to confuse journalists, would go after them.
	So I, in some ways, had this sort of foundation of like, I know what this feels like when a politician tries to deflect when you're trying to ask them a pointed question.
	So, of course, I had never done that with millions of people watching, so it was a sort of out-of-body experience when the president was saying things like, you're nasty and you're threatening.
	I had this really grounded sense of the country is really, really looking for answers.
	People are dying.
	People are burying generations of their families with people that had family members on generators who were fighting for their lives.
	And here was a president who didn't have basic answers to, are we going to have enough tests?
	Are we going to have enough ventilators?
	She said, people are on generators.
	Yeah, families on generators.
	Families on generators.
	I have this really grounded sense of the country is really, really looking for answers.
	People are dying.
	People are burying generations of their families with people that had family members on generators.
	My God.
	I can't get enough of it.
	I consider it to be of the level of the level of virus vaccine gaffe.
	Generators instead of ventilators.
	Come on.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Well, you know, you get what you pay for.
	And if somebody thinks she's a hero, I think she's a stumbler.
	And she doesn't do a very good job of...
	I don't like...
	Actually, the whole crew there, the woman, the other one that's always kind of partnered with it, the one with the big nose.
	I can't remember her name.
	The big nose?
	Yeah, there's a girl with a big nose.
	She's got a huge nose.
	The nose is huge.
	I don't know who that is.
	It's the other one, the other new one.
	And she's been there for a while.
	I bitch about her, too.
	And then they have the rest of the crew, and they're all like...
	They're all a bunch of left wingers.
	There's no balance on that show.
	There's none left.
	It's all left-wingers, and they're all big Biden supporters, and everyone sees this punch.
	The two debaters, the gay black guy from the Washington Post and Brooks, who is asexual, I think, they're up there debating, they're making points and complimenting each other worse than ever.
	Oh, you're right!
	No, you're right!
	It's pathetic, that broadcast.
	It's not like the No Agenda show where you get real, real emotions from time to time.
	It makes people uncomfortable.
	That's why they can't do it.
	They're faking it.
	They're not real.
	You're right.
	No, you're right.
	You're the best.
	No, you're right.
	Oh, John, you are always right.
	And if not, rule number two points to rule one.
	You're right.
	Enough of them.
	Yes.
	I have a little presentation.
	We have time for it.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	We got some time, sure.
	This got triggered by...
	This is long because this includes an actual Senate hearing on this woman This Tracy Stone Manning, who they're going to make the head of Bureau of Labor Management, and this got triggered about two weeks ago when I have this clip, which I've been carrying, and now that I've got all these other clips, I can play the original clip that triggered my thinking, which is the nutball in Land Management Bureau docks.
	The nutball in Land Management Bureau.
	This is news to me.
	Hey, Peter, why is Senator Mitch McConnell asking President Biden to pull his nominee to run the Bureau of Land Management?
	Because now she's being accused of eco-terrorism.
	This nominee's name is Tracy Stone Manning.
	And a former federal investigator has come forward to allege that Manning was tree spiking years ago.
	That is a practice where you basically stick a spike through a tree to disrupt efforts to chop it down by loggers.
	This administration says at the time of the original probe, Stone Manning was interviewed and she was extremely anti-government.
	For now, though, she is still the Biden White House's nominee to lead the Bureau of Land Management.
	Brett.
	Hmm.
	No, I thought that was intriguing, but I didn't play the clip.
	Until now, we had the hearings.
	Okay.
	And one thing comes clear in the hearings, this is the whole thing.
	So this is five minutes of clips.
	This is Senator Risch, who is from Idaho.
	And he's irked at this woman because they screwed up some Idaho logging operations, which he did in 1989, I believe.
	Now...
	First of all, what we think about, what do you think, give me your thoughts, because I was wrong.
	I had no idea.
	What's tree spiking all about?
	Do you have any idea?
	No, but just from hearing that report, I believe it would mean driving some kind of spike or some kind of metal into a tree so that a chainsaw would then break when cutting through it.
	Yeah, but then if you think the logic of it, why would the chainsaw is going to cut through wherever it cuts through and it's probably never going to get near the spike?
	I didn't know.
	I always thought tree spiking had something just kind of like that.
	What else would keep people from logging it?
	I don't know.
	That's not what it is at all.
	And it is not discussed and it has not been discussed by the mainstream.
	It is not discussed by anybody.
	But Senator Risch, who worked in a lumber mill when he was younger, It knows all about it.
	And this, listen to me, here we go.
	This is Senator Risch on the BLM appointment part one.
	Senator Risch?
	Mr.
	Mr. Chairman, I've only been on this committee 13 years, but I've got to tell you, this is probably the most significant act of an insult to a really good agency and the people in that agency that I've ever seen perpetrated by this committee.
	I don't know how this nomination has gotten this far, but I think that we ought to spend some time looking at that.
	Let's first of all talk about what tree spiking is for a minute.
	This is a tree spike.
	It looks pretty harmless.
	You put that into a tree, I'm probably the only one in this room that's ever ridden a carriage.
	I don't know if you know what a carriage is, but a carriage...
	It's a piece of equipment in a mill on which the log is set.
	A person drives that carriage back and forth and saws it into logs.
	Now, that's all well and good.
	The saw can be of one of two types, either a circular saw on a small mill or, more likely, a large band saw that goes probably to the roof here and down again.
	It's about an inch and a half wide and double.
	What happens when the saw hits this spike is what happens in a war when a hand grenade goes off.
	Shrapnel goes every direction.
	It destroys the saw, be it a bandsaw or be it a circular saw, and it will break this also into shrapnel.
	It will either kill or injure anyone, John, you have my attention.
	I didn't know this either.
	No, not a joke.
	Not a joke.
	Not being facetious.
	So it's really terrorism.
	It's a form of terrorism.
	That's what it used to be called, bioterrorist.
	And that's what this woman was involved with.
	Eco-terrorist, probably.
	Eco-terrorism, right.
	Sorry.
	Bioterrorism is COVID. Yeah.
	We've got all kinds here.
	We've got a lot of terrorism going on.
	So let's listen to it, get this out of the way, and then we'll go into the punchline, which is coming up.
	But this is part two.
	This is a little longer.
	This guy is not happy with this appointment, but it looks like she's going to get in anyway.
	Let's go.
	I studied forestry, as most of you know.
	We didn't even study this because it didn't exist back when I was in forestry school.
	It was only when ecoterrorism...
	And particularly that involved with the national forests hit its peak that some genius came up with this idea of how to kill people that are working in the forest industry.
	That's what tree spiking is.
	Some of my friends that I've talked with in Congress here have said, well, she made a mistake 30 years ago.
	This is not a mistake.
	This is a knowing, willful, intentional act done with a black, abandoned, and malignant heart intended to kill a fellow human being.
	This is not a mistake.
	A mistake is when you reach in your stock drawer and you take out two socks that don't match.
	This is an intentional act.
	For which people are sent to prison, and should be.
	These spikes were put in the trees in the post office sale in Idaho, and they're still there.
	The Forest Service can't take them out.
	I asked them if they got plans to take them out.
	They said, there's no way to take these spikes out of the tree.
	We don't know which trees they're in.
	Those are still in the tree.
	Sometime, as time goes on, and all this gets lost, it's entirely possible one of those trees is still going to kill somebody in a mill.
	Well, she wrote the letter, and I'm not going to read the letter in full because it's laced with obscenities, but she said that this letter is being sent to notify you that the post office sale in Idaho has been spiked heavily.
	The project required that 11 of us, 11 of us, spent nine days in god-awful weather conditions spiking trees, We, we unloaded a total of 500 pounds of spikes measuring 8 to 10 inches in length.
	And then she goes on with, again, laced obscenities.
	She admits to writing this letter.
	She did this as part of a conspiracy to spike trees in the forest.
	Yeah.
	Was this a long time ago?
	In 1989.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	So, it was, I don't know, 30 years ago.
	You know, people have been condemned.
	I mean, Woody Allen can't get his films played in this country.
	It was over 30 years ago.
	Let's play part three.
	Okay.
	This woman was deeply involved, and the fact that she has tried to minimize her involvement, I get that.
	Most criminals do that.
	But we have evidence, clear evidence, that she was deeply involved, not only evidence from third parties, but from herself, where she admits that she wrote this letter.
	And, of course, she was investigated, as Senator Barrasso said, at great length.
	Now, that was 30 years ago.
	So if you're one of those that say, oh, this was 30 years ago, it was a childish prank or what have you, someone who tries to take the life of another human being, this is not something that you can say, oh, it was a childish prank 30 years ago.
	Somewhere in the deep recesses of her heart and her soul is something so malignant and so bad that she would try to take another life.
	That remains today.
	And if you don't believe me, read the stuff that she's written in the last couple of years.
	If you're willing to forgive all that...
	She committed a felony in perjuring herself to this committee in violation of federal law.
	She perjured herself in two ways.
	One is when she denied having been investigated, as the record is absolutely clear, she was investigated.
	And the second one, she said she did not participate in this tree spiking.
	This was the question, one of the questions that was asked to her.
	Did you have personal knowledge of, participate in, or in any way, directly or indirectly, support activities associated with the spiking of trees in any forest during your lifetime?
	No.
	Under oath.
	No, under oath.
	You know, I've prosecuted I don't know how many cases.
	This, for a prosecutor, is shooting fish in a barrel.
	She shouldn't be in front of this committee for confirmation to a major, major point in this administration.
	She should be in front of a jury explaining to them why she committed perjury and why she lied to Congress.
	Objection, Your Honor.
	Wow.
	So, his points are well taken.
	So let's listen to the last part, which is a shorter clip, and he just kind of summarizes a feeling that the committee is going to approve her no matter what.
	My friends, look, if you want to confirm her, you absolutely can.
	But believe me, this stain on this administration will last for the next three and a half years.
	If the Biden administration wants...
	wants to have the face and the character of their administration represented by this individual, this attempted murder, this perjurer, this liar, this conspirator.
	If that's what you want in the administration, and that's what you want for the face of the administration, here's your person.
	Confirmer.
	Thank you, Senator.
	Well, it's even worse, just looking at the Wikipedia, Book of Knowledge, She received prosecutorial immunity in order to testify against her own comrades.
	She's a narc.
	It was a roommate, actually.
	So, let's go.
	Before we play the clip that I think is my clip, That just summarizes everything.
	Let's listen to NPR's reporting on this, because NPR might as well be just the Democrat National Committee.
	Let's listen to them.
	This is Tracy Manning, NPR, and they're talking about this situation.
	President Biden's pick to lead the Bureau of Land Management, the public lands agency that oversees 245 million acres and a lot of energy development, has moved one step closer to confirmation, despite strong opposition from Republicans.
	Here's Colorado Public Radio's Caitlin Kim.
	Tracy Stone Manning, who currently works for the National Wildlife Federation, has come under fire for her ties to a radical environmental group when she was a graduate student in 1989.
	She sent a letter warning that spikes had been put into trees in a national forest in Idaho.
	It's a tactic radical environmental groups use to stop logging and could potentially injure loggers.
	No!
	Did she write the letter?
	She did not write the letter.
	She typed the letter.
	Did she deliver the letter to the United States Forest Service?
	The answer to that is yes.
	The letter was mailed, okay?
	You're saying that that was her words?
	That's a participation in a conspiracy.
	That was Democratic Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Republican Senator Jim Risch of Idaho.
	Stone Manning supporters say Republicans are seizing on the long-ago incident to try to disqualify her.
	Erin Weiss is with the Conservation Group, the Center for Western Priorities.
	No, this is truly about the future of our public lands, and are we going to manage ecosystems, or are we going to treat our public lands simply as landscapes to be extracted?
	The head of the Western Energy Alliance said the letter-writing incident should put Stone Manning's ability to lead the BLM in question.
	She characterized the nominee as hostile to productive uses of public lands.
	Erin Weiss says that's not true, and points to Stone Manning's track record of bridge building.
	Some who initially supported Stone Manning but no longer do worry that this ongoing fight in the Senate could weaken Stone Manning when the agency needs a strong leader.
	The BLM hasn't had a confirmed director since the Obama administration, and that, says John Gale with Backcountry Hunters and Anglers, is his concern.
	There is a lot of work that needs to be done, and it's important that we get a qualified leader in place there.
	The committee vote deadlocked along party lines.
	Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says he will move Stone Manning's nomination to the Senate floor, but no date has been set.
	So now what got me about that report, although it all says, Hmm.
	Hmm.
	Is the fact that this idea that it injures loggers, which is what I always thought.
	And why did I think that?
	Because of reports like this.
	It's designed to injure the people that are in the mill, not the loggers.
	The loggers, they don't care.
	So I've been misled by the media over, I don't know how old I am.
	I'm shocked!
	I'm really old.
	I'm shocked!
	It's just like, and she does it again.
	Oh, it's designed to injure loggers.
	These people don't know what they're talking about.
	Okay, let's just play the punchline, which was kind of incorporated in there, but I just think it was the funniest.
	And this is the Tracy Manning final.
	And it just, it was the back and forth with Manchin, who seems to be like, you know, a reasonable Democrat.
	But, you know, he's getting his marching orders from Schumer.
	This woman's getting in.
	And we have that.
	And we can show you that if you care to see that.
	Rather than me rebutting every time, we'd be happy to share.
	What?
	Well, Mr.
	Chairman...
	I think we ought to have that, Joe Axe.
	Yeah, you know...
	Whatever you all want to do, I'm happy to do it.
	We got the record where she lied under oath to this committee.
	How can you turn it on your head?
	We don't have...
	Okay.
	You can't.
	You tell me where you see that she lied.
	She said, were you investigating...
	Did you participate in any way?
	She wrote the letter.
	She admits she wrote the letter.
	And she said no.
	That is a lie.
	It's a falsehood.
	Let me just read the facts to you, okay?
	So I'm just saying, we're just reading the facts as we have them.
	Did she write the letter?
	She did not write the letter.
	She typed the letter.
	Wow!
	Wow, wow, wow.
	That's crazy.
	No, it's not crazy.
	She typed the letter.
	It's par for the course.
	That was good.
	You know, that's a welcome...
	It's a relief to hear something like that versus variants, death, vax, breakthrough, long haul.
	I'm vaccinated.
	I got a good sound.
	I'm working on it.
	Well, let me add a few green things to that.
	Just a couple headlines.
	Stop me when you want me to.
	Electric buses in California.
	This, of course, is all the rage for the greenness of our country.
	The California agency is saying they may scrap electric bus fleet because, well, the buses are catching fire.
	They melt in the California sun.
	I don't know if that has much to do with the fact that they're battery driven.
	It's got nothing to do with it.
	Cost too much to fix.
	That makes sense.
	Ah, yes.
	The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration once again has alerted everybody and says, we're serious.
	This is a recall for the Chevy Volt.
	Anything from 2017 to 2019, they can catch fire.
	And General Motors is instructing owners to take the following actions.
	Set your vehicle to 90% state of charge limitation, either using the hilltop reserve mode or the target charge level mode.
	If you are unable to set your vehicle to the 90% state of the charge limitation mode, then you should ask your dealer.
	Recharge the battery after each use and avoid running down the battery below an estimated remaining 70-mile range where possible.
	And you should also probably charge it outside the house.
	Yes, do not put the bolt in the garage.
	That's one of the main things.
	This is one of the big unintended consequences that we're going to learn about of these battery cars.
	In terms of the repair thing, this is why Tesla has this real restriction about who can even work on the car, including body work, because you can get killed.
	You can get electrocuted real easy.
	They're hot rods.
	Then a note from Niels, who was a Viscount.
	And he wrote in about the flood in Germany, which also was in Belgium and the Netherlands, but he says he lives near the area.
	Of course, we know that obviously climate change, global warming is responsible for this.
	There's no doubt about it.
	And he reports...
	I live near the area the report from Thursday's show mentioned.
	Of course, this is being politicized to the max here.
	While people affected wait for actual help from politicians instead of hearing the same old preaching about the effects of carbon dioxide.
	This being an election year makes it even worse.
	Yes, we always have to remember that.
	The so-called unprecedented floods happened on the same scale in this very region in 1804, 1910.
	Seems like it'll take another hundred years for people to get complacent again.
	They will forget about maybe not settling in flood plains.
	It is.
	It's a basin.
	It's a pure basin.
	And the state will likely not be setting up floodplains, but instead be selling all the beautiful but dangerous landscape.
	Of course, most people in Germany unaffected by this will eat up all the climate change rhetoric the media feeds them.
	For the rest, it sounds like an excuse for it could have been prevented.
	So that's Niels Boots on the Ground.
	We appreciate that.
	In California, J.C. Buzzkill Jr.
	has been looking into this.
	He's got some California history going on.
	It seems as though in 1852, where it rained, let's see, over a three or four day period, not an inch or two inches or three inches or even ten inches, it rained ten feet of rain and There was a massive flood in California that took the entire San Fernando and the valleys of California And made them 10 foot deep.
	Flooded.
	Yeah, of course.
	Not a foot or two or knee deep.
	10 foot deep.
	Because the 10 feet of rain hits the mountains, it all comes down and starts filling up the basins.
	And they got to 10 feet too.
	You ended up with this unbelievable flooding, which is one of the reasons it's so fertile.
	Yeah.
	And that area.
	Yeah.
	And it looks like it happens about every hundred years, and we've been overdue for some time.
	And it's going to be blamed on global warming instead of some cycle we've got here.
	Well, we also have the solar cycle, which is kicking into gear.
	Oh yeah, that causes nothing but trouble.
	And I did get a note from our producers, now we got this from someone else who pays attention to this, and I forget what the whole story was exactly, but on Thursday when, you know, was it the whole internet, the whole commercial internet seemed to go down blamed on Akamai DNS? Bug?
	Yeah, it was Akamai.
	Another single point of failure issue.
	Thank you very much, microservices.
	I actually have that clip.
	I thought I had a clip about it.
	But we have to be aware that there's also a solar flare.
	K-index level 4.
	And, you know, when you take the solar flares, the moon wobble, which no one seems to want to talk about, or the earth wobble that, you know, puts us out of sync with the moon.
	I mean, this is all in the heliocentric model, of course.
	We talked about the moon wobble a little bit, and I got a note from one of our producers saying that they're already working up on a...
	Climate change reason is because of climate change, the moon's starting to wobble because of the rising oceans.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Bull crap.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	No, I'm looking more and more at the firmament dome model.
	Where the Earth is.
	No, no.
	We are in a globe, but we're kind of in the middle and the rest is all dome above, but there's also below, which is why the rainbow...
	I think that was both in Star Trek, the first original series, and also I think that was in Next Generation where they rescued a civilization that was in that situation.
	Yes, Hollywood always makes fun of this.
	Exactly.
	That's what they do.
	You're such a heliocentrist.
	No kidding.
	All right.
	Now, before we take our break, I have one presentation, which is one clip, one clip only.
	I think it is some of the highest form of entertainment.
	And it is Don Lemon with Sandy Ocasio-Cortez, and she is going to explain inflation to us.
	Oh, no.
	Yeah.
	Feel free to stop the clip whenever you see justified.
	You know, today, I'm sure you saw what happened with the stock market.
	They said it was because of COVID. But there was lots of talk about inflation.
	So I want to talk about the fears of inflation.
	President Biden pushed back, assuring Americans that the price increases that they've seen hitting their wallets are temporary.
	Now, last week, you questioned the Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and expressed concern over prematurely raising rates.
	And what that could mean for marginalized communities.
	What are your biggest concerns over inflation, Congresswoman?
	Well, here's the deal with inflation, is that if we do not get the root...
	Oops.
	What happened?
	I don't know.
	What happened there?
	Hold on a second.
	That was weird.
	This was leading up to a gem, I could tell.
	Uh, I'm sorry.
	Okay, I'm not quite sure why this is doing that.
	Let me fix this.
	That was very odd.
	I'll just roll it back to the beginning of her answer.
	Mm-hmm.
	Well, here's the deal with inflation, is that if we do not get the root cause of these price increases right, then policy decisions could be made that could really negatively impact your life, boost unemployment, and again, increase interest rates.
	And we do not want that.
	So it's really important that we get the diagnosis right into what's going into these price increases.
	I don't know.
	Are you getting one channel?
	John?
	Maybe.
	It's hard to say.
	Yeah.
	Well, okay.
	We'll keep going.
	When you look at what actual prices are going up, it's in very specific sectors.
	If this was an overall inflationary issue, we would see prices going up in relatively equal amounts across the board, no matter what the good is.
	But we know what's getting expensive.
	Things like the cost of lumber, items like cars, whether they are new or used, and other sorts of items that rely on shipping and shipping containers coming in from overseas.
	These are very sector-specific, which means that these are due to supply chain issues.
	That means that we don't have enough ports that can accommodate all of the backed-up ships that are trying to come in.
	Okay, stop right there.
	Is she telling us that it's our fault that we don't have enough ports?
	We've got plenty of ports.
	We've got ports up the wazoo.
	Of course, you'll know why she's lying, because she's lying.
	Now, is there a port in China that is backlogged?
	Yes.
	Are there issues with containers that our cost is prohibitive for smaller businesses?
	Yes.
	But to say that we don't have enough ports?
	Shame on you, Sandy!
	It's because we don't have enough computer chips that are produced by just a handful of factories in the world that go into these vehicles, which are then causing a rush on used vehicles.
	Again, she's saying, we don't have enough of the chips.
	As if, are those also stuck at the port?
	And it's because of all of the rush on demand to build and to remodel homes during lockdown.
	And the reason it's important for us to understand that is because the solution to that is, guess what?
	Infrastructure.
	Ah!
	Ah, there it is.
	We need more ports!
	We need to put in more money and more funding so we expand ports so that we can add resilience to our supply chain.
	That's what we can do if we get it right.
	We actually support these infrastructure investments and make sure that we protect not just the size but potentially make it bigger.
	Now, if we get it wrong, if we say this is inflation, that this is an inflationary trend, etc., what's going to happen if we get it wrong?
	We put policy pressure and political pressure on the Fed to increase interest rates, which will drive up the rate of unemployment, which is the exact opposite thing that you want to be doing in such a fragile state of our economic recovery post-COVID. So that's why it's so important that we get this right and put the politics aside.
	Alright, John.
	From the DH Unplugged hat.
	God, this woman's just got nothing.
	She's just rambling.
	And by the way, is she advocating more ports so we can bring in more Chinese goods?
	Completely, yes.
	And it's even worse?
	Yes, comrade.
	Is that what she wants us to do?
	Yes, comrade.
	So how about the...
	So she says that if we do it wrong, as she's saying, the way we get it wrong is by putting pressure on the Fed to raise the interest rate.
	Your analysis is appreciated.
	The interest rate in this regard...
	The reason you raise the interest rate is because things are heating up, and inflation is really getting bad, and it's not just short-term inflation.
	I'm sorry, she just said it's not inflation.
	She's full of shit.
	I can't ramble as much as she does, so I can't explain what she even said.
	Yeah.
	I mean, it made some...
	I don't know.
	It made enough...
	Dumb sense that I think it probably got past, I don't know, her voters.
	You're asking me, I can't do it.
	I can't analyze what she said.
	I don't know what she's talking about, to be honest about it.
	Inflation rate goes up and so does unemployment, she said.
	No, she said if the interest rate goes up and unemployment goes up.
	How does that work?
	Yeah.
	Well, that is the attitude, the monetary or the fiscal policy.
	Is that fiscal or monetary?
	That's fiscal policy, right?
	Same thing more.
	Well, monetary policy usually has more to do with the money supply.
	Money supply, right.
	So her fiscal policy is don't raise interest rates.
	Print more, print more, print more.
	Now, you like printing more.
	No, I don't.
	I just think it's an interesting theory.
	Oh, no, I thought you always said that we need to be pumping a lot more money into the economy.
	I thought that's what you always said.
	Yeah, I kind of have said that.
	By the way, the former New York banker is all for it.
	He says we should be printing another $10 trillion.
	Yeah, and the only reason I say that is because...
	I honestly believe that we're in a deflationary period, even though we have these little burps of inflation here and there.
	You got that part right.
	It's only just spotty.
	And in a deflationary period, because people keep talking about hyperinflation never happens.
	So, oh, you can't do that.
	You can't do quantitative easing because you're going to have hyperinflation, hyperinflation.
	We have zero evidence of hyperinflation after all these years.
	And so what it seems as though that we're fighting off deflation, which would be a collapse, and to fight off deflation is you create a situation of a lot of money pumped into the system.
	Yeah.
	To try to create inflation.
	They haven't been able to do it.
	They want 2% or 3% inflation.
	Right.
	So mission accomplished.
	They have 5.4%.
	I'm at the point where I think they're overdoing it.
	Okay.
	Well, more's coming.
	I don't know, man.
	This omnibus bill or whatever it is, the reconciliation bill, I'm not quite sure what that means, but it sounds like that's the stuff that they say, well, they reconciled the bill and no one ever talks about what's in it and it's all the junk.
	Oh, it's horrible.
	They're just throwing money away.
	That's what bothers me.
	Well, to be honest, it's not our money.
	It's our kids' money.
	It's the adorable.
	He'll have to deal with it.
	I'll do fine.
	Two more quick notes.
	This is important if you live in the great state of Texas.
	I received somewhat reasonably panicky messages from Ben, protector of megawatts.
	He explained to us exactly what happened with ERCOT in the snow that we had in January in Texas when the power was out for four days, at least for us.
	He says this week will be very critical.
	It could be worse than January.
	Why?
	Because of the pricing.
	The pricing caps.
	Again, ERCOT is a jackass organization, and all they want to do is maximize profits.
	It's the Enron guys.
	So if we hit the max on what is available in the network, and what is available in the network is only based upon what they are allowed to maximum charge...
	So again, they're not turning on lots of power plants because it's not worth it to them because they won't be able to sell it for what it really costs them.
	So they just switch off the power.
	It's exactly what happened in California with the Enron trading.
	Well, I don't understand why they don't crack down.
	Because everyone's lying that it's the stupid Texans can't keep the grid up and running.
	It's a direct hit on the state of Texas.
	It is.
	It's a direct hit.
	And those Enron guys are mostly Texans.
	They should be ashamed of themselves for ruining the reputation of the state.
	Yeah, but at this point, it's hedge funds from Europe.
	I'm sure there's Chinese trading going on.
	It's a total crap show.
	So when it goes out, and I'm going to try and get, I'm just getting a number, I don't have the whole house generator yet, but the way Ben, a protector of megawatts, was talking to me, I think, you know, he says, you should be prepared, be prepared, be ready, be ready.
	You should have a generator anyway.
	I know, but I just haven't gotten around to it.
	I didn't expect this crap to hit the fan now.
	I just fixed the poop tank.
	All right.
	I'm going to show myself old by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	And it turns out that we have a few people to thank for a show.
	What is the show?
	1367.
	Okay, well, it starts off with Brian Klimczak.
	I'm believing that's the way to pronounce it.
	Sounds right.
	Naperville, Illinois.
	Good to hear your chair squeaking again.
	I wasn't ready and I got it.
	It sounds familiar.
	Naperville, Illinois.
	He's got a long note and I guess it's a night note so you can read it.
	Okay.
	He says, this last donation puts me over the line to become a knight.
	Monday will mark my 50th trip around the sun as well.
	Well, I could not think of a better gift to myself than completing my knighthood.
	Thank you for everything both of you do to produce the show twice a week.
	Here is a recent requirement I came across when responding to an RFP for the federal government.
	Quote, the solution shall save the work in case the system encounters some glitches.
	Is that what they were calling a backup these days?
	Yeah, glitch.
	Glitch remover.
	Glitch.
	The good news is that this was marked as value add and not a core requirement.
	No jingles, but I would request old style and mallard.
	The Chicago handshake at the round table.
	What's mallard?
	You're talking, I don't know.
	The Chicago handshake.
	I've never heard of that.
	I don't know.
	I've ordered it, but I'm not going to touch it.
	Yeah, I'd say.
	Okay, and now we move on to Dusan Meletic in Leander, Texas.
	$161.
	Now we, this is the one we got, this guy gets bumped up to as associate executive producer.
	This is Baron Chris of the Kawatha Highlands.
	Ah, yes.
	Rare encounter.
	Yes, Scandinavia.
	And I have to read his note.
	He's an executive, associate executive.
	Hello, Adam and John.
	Baron Chris.
	Night of the Blair Encounter.
	It's been far too long since my last donation.
	I feel like such a douchebag because of that.
	Could you get a de-douching to him?
	You've been de-douched.
	Life here in Soviet Scandinavian province of Ontario remains grim under the tyranny of his black...
	Blackface-ness Justin Trudeau and the cluelessness of dirty Dougie Ford if only America had a real president who would save us from this madness.
	Alas, you guys aren't doing much better with sleepy Bo Jiden at the helm napping his way to Chinese hegemony.
	By the way, if you notice in those clips that I played of Biden, at one point he says that she is a good guy.
	No, I missed that.
	Darn.
	This is a good guy.
	She's a good guy.
	She's been the will of the good Reverend Al for me to top it off with a mix of R2-D2 goat karma.
	I need to boost to get me through these crazy times.
	Ah, well, I'm going to do something extra cool for you.
	I will keep it in the Star Wars realm with a brand new de-douching Chewbacca style for you.
	You've been de-douched.
	You've got...
	Oh, my God.
	Karma.
	Yeah, baby.
	Unfortunately, we have another Aussie with...
	Well, not unfortunate, but fortunate.
	But unfortunate for you, because you're going to have to read this guy's note.
	And this is another note.
	He's another associate executive producer, but in Australian dollars.
	Okay.
	And this is Sir Gavin.
	Boom shakalaka little...
	Oh, I didn't see any of these, of course.
	You're going to have to keep those in abeyance for now.
	This is $212.86 Aussie.
	That does qualify.
	Greetings from the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula.
	As I drove home from work some weeks ago listening to the donations section of my favorite pod, I thought I fell into some kind of weird futuristic premonition when some dude was describing his smoking hot Latvian wife, how she's the most amazing thing ever and probably the only Latvian woman who listens to no agenda.
	Well, I nearly fell out of the car.
	I had been considering donating towards my own smoking hot Latvian wife, Kristina, damehood for a while, but now suddenly here it was bamboozling my brain.
	Had I somehow forgotten that I'd made a donation?
	Was it some kind of time warp?
	Has the digital dollary-do been implemented and had the No Agenda Nation governmental elites read my thoughts and deducted a payment?
	Or maybe there's just another dude who's got a smoking hot Latvian wife?
	I managed to calm myself down, focus on the road, but this immediately spurred me on to donate.
	Christina is an incredibly strong patriotic Latvian who happens to be the absolute best birthing person human resource manager in the universe, and much love by myself and our three human resources, Lottie, Fionn, and Rian, who turns one on July 26th.
	You better dedouche her and add Rian to the birthday list.
	You've been dedouched.
	There's a couple of questions offline which we can discuss.
	And we appreciate that.
	And we will put you up where you belong with the Associate Executive Producers for 1367.
	Onward!

	Simon Chong in Lawrenceville, Georgia.
	He needs to de-douche.
	You've been de-douched.
	Todd Grubb in Capac, Michigan.
	These are all $50 donors.

	That's our group of producers for show 1367.
	I want to thank each and every one of them for helping make this show possible, and may we continue it for you.
	Weeks to come.
	We need to talk about our succession plan, John.
	We have to really think about it.
	One of us is bound to go, eventually.
	Well, it's not going to be me.
	Not going to be you what?
	That's going?
	No, you're not going anywhere.
	I'm not going anywhere.
	You're not going anywhere.
	Me neither.
	No plans.
	We also want to thank everyone who came in under $50 for mainly reasons of anonymity, but also a lot of those subscriptions that are sustaining donations.
	Go ahead and check it out at And for those who are new to the program, certainly if we don't have the time, we can't really read all of the notes at the $50 second donation, but we appreciate them.
	I think we've recorded all of your birthdays and all your wishes, and then for those who need it, a final jobs karma.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	And Brian Klimzek turns 15.
	Turns 50 tomorrow, in fact.
	Happy birthday.
	Sir Gavin says happy birthday to Rian, one year old, tomorrow.

	You wanna, you wanna, you wanna, you wanna, you wanna what?
	I want to do a quick correction for Corinne's Nashville, Tennessee donation should be credited to Kevin.
	And this is the Baron of Iceland, brand new protectorate on the map.
	Very, very happy to have that as part of Gitmo Nation.
	Baronet Sir Phenom, now Baron of Iceland.
	Congratulations and thank you for supporting the No Agenda Show and the amount of yet another $1,000.
	He's done it in small donations overall throughout the years and we really appreciate the support.
	Now, let us look at our knights and dames.
	The way I see it, we have one knight, two dames, so let's go with the pretty blade.
	There you go.
	Whoops, whoops, boom.
	Oh, now it's catching.
	Now I'm saying it.
	This will not stand.
	On the podium, please, Lydia Dominelli, Brian Klimczak, and Nova Fadli.
	All right, all three of you are here.
	We've got everything ready that you wanted at the table for your noshing, but right now I'm very proud to pronounce the KDS game.
	Lydia, Sir Brian Klimczak.
	And Sergey Ninja.

	There you'll be asked for your information so we can get the ring off to you, along with your official certification that everything is completely on the up and up and legit.
	and the very coveted ceiling wax.
	Oh, no one's got a feeling that we're waxing the ceiling.
	No one should have beat up.
	It's not your party.
	Parties, they are indeed waxing.
	We have a couple of meetup reports.
	Neil Jones, the clip custodian, drove to the Mobile, Alabama meetup.
	And this was his first, his first ever.
	And he says he'll make sure he records next time around.
	He did send us pictures.
	Nice group.
	A very balanced group, actually.
	Male-female.
	That was nice to see.
	And they were on...
	I don't know if they were...
	I don't know if they were husbands and wives, because it was all on one side.
	It must have been...
	I don't know.
	Let me see how many people he has here.
	This was July 24th.
	Donald, Ambrose, JW, Lucas, Laura, Chad, Alex, Lance, Buffay, Grace, Neil, Clay, Elizabeth, and the two human resources were in attendance, and everyone had a great time.
	The Minnesota Meetup Report.
	Five human resources, says Sir C-Rock.
	C-Rock?
	One dog attended the Minnesota Outdoor Enthusiast Potluck in lovely Ironton, Minnesota.
	After the potluck dinner, we went to a local brewery where a 20-class reunion spilled into our meetup and we attempted to hit multiple drunk people in the mouth.
	It was definitely like a party.
	The night isn't over, and something tells me the night is far from over.
	Time for another pint.
	Okay, boogity, boogity, boogity.
	Kind of a drunk report, but we appreciate it.
	Now, let us check out this one from Eastern and Central North Carolina.
	In the morning, this is Sir Big Loaf of the Blast, a meter report from Central and Eastern North Carolina.
	What's up?
	Hey, this is Rich.
	I'm not a douchebag.
	Sir Jerry girl.
	Hello.
	The Sultan of Swine.
	It's Harrison hailing from the beach coast.
	Andrea from Raleigh in the morning.
	In the morning, it's Sheila.
	We are making our own milieu.
	In the morning!
	Making their own milieu, John.
	I like that.
	That is true.
	Where was that from?
	Where was that report?
	That was Central and...
	Eastern and Central North Carolina.
	Yeah.
	And I did want to remind everybody that when you get into a situation where, who knows, if we got into an Australian or Paris-like situation, these meetups, these groups could be quite valuable.
	I think it's great that we're all self-organizing and that everyone is just coming together and not getting triggered and able to communicate and do stuff together.
	Oh, I'm sure that's fantastic.
	It really is.
	Now, somehow this one got caught in the vortex.
	This is a report from Scandinavia.
	It is from the Bastille Day meetup.
	Hey, this is No Agenda, Bastille Day meetup, 2012, June 14th.
	This is Tim Winston-Smith at No Agenda Social.
	Hey, this is Carson from Canada.
	How's she going, eh?
	I'm a douchebag.
	In the morning, John Mack here.
	John, I had no idea that I needed such a buzzkill in my life.
	Thank you for being there for me.
	This is Kyle Morrison.
	The crunchy California burger is not crunchy.
	Be warned.
	This is Garrett.
	I just want to call out my brother Donovan as a douchebag.
	Hi, this is Ba, or Barb.
	And, uh, what you say about yourself with your head to the half.
	That's a perfect Dutch going on up there.
	Beautiful.
	Here's what's happening in the calendar for today.
	The Truth wants to go out at 4.30 at the Bunga Nut Pig in Franklin, Tennessee.
	So you can still make that.
	Also today, the first ever Prince Edward Island meetup.
	Noon Atlantic time, so that's well underway.
	International Children's Memorial, and that's in Freetown, Prince Edward Island.
	Coming up for the rest of the month, July 31st, San Francisco, Timber, Oregon, Oklahoma City, Bozeman, Montana, Tampa Bay, Kansas City, Missouri, Killeen, Texas, Portland, Oregon.

	If you want to find out more information, look at the calendar.
	We also have the NoAgendaMeetupMaps.com and NoAgendaMeetups.com.
	If you can't find something there that is near you, here's an idea.
	Start one.
	It's easy.
	NoAgendaMeetups.com.
	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 flame.
	You want to be where everybody feels the same.
	It's like a party.
	The keeper went to the P.O. box in Austin.
	And I think I'm going to have to move that P.O. box.
	It is such a mess in that post office that there are three packages that didn't fit in my otherwise rather large box.
	But the line is 20 people deep.
	It would take three hours just to wait for these nincompoops to get the packages for everybody else done.
	So I have to go back and get those other ones.
	It's a real mess.
	It's a real mess.
	But I do want to thank, let me see, from Sir Egghead.
	I finally got my, from the meetup, the nice piece of wood with my head on it.
	Is everybody signed?
	You got one of those two I get, right?
	The one that has the, it's done with the laser.
	Yeah, exactly, the laser engraving.
	Yeah, it's cute.
	I want to thank them for that, too.
	Thanks to the No Agenda Coffee guys for sending me the hit-in-the-mouth blend.
	It is indeed a hit-in-the-mouth.
	That's a good one.
	Very nice.
	What is this?
	This is from Dame Nancy, the Road Trip Girlfriend.
	I think we already read that one on the show.
	And what is here?
	What else did we get?
	Some other things.
	People send such beautiful...
	Oh yeah, that's the Hit in the Mouth Dark Roast.
	I got...
	Oh yes, the 33 Flag Pins.
	Did you get any of these?
	Yes, I did.
	I put them aside somewhere too.
	Those are dynamite.
	They're really cool.
	It's an American flag pin like you would wear if you were a politician, except it also has a little 33 on it, which George Gaspar.
	Yes, I want to thank him too.
	Those are dynamite.
	In fact, I was going to try to get a hold of them because those need to be sold in the store.
	He needs to sell them because they're not cheesy.
	No, no, no.
	They're really nice.
	They're really, yeah.
	And we get stuff that's cheesy, but this is definitely not in that category.
	And I want to thank the NoAgendaShop.com folks for sending me the PBR No Agenda mug and the PBR BeerStein.
	I want to thank them too because I got the same thing.
	It's a great little package.
	I love the PBR regular mug.
	The Stein was, I think Eric either took it.
	These are items that if you don't watch, people take it.
	I don't have that anymore.
	It's nothing I wanted.
	I liked the mug.
	The Stein, not so much.
	But it's so true.
	The things that come from No Agenda Shop, if you don't watch out, it's gone.
	Oh yeah.
	It's gone.
	It's gone right away.
	Gone right away.
	Isos.
	Let's see what we have.
	Now you have...
	Okay, I got the all kidding.
	Let's go all kidding iso.
	It's not iso.
	It's just all kidding.
	Okay.
	Hold on.
	But all kidding aside.
	Right.
	Asking.
	Nah, that's asking too much.
	Is that Ingraham?
	Yeah.
	Interesting.
	Good catch.
	Not a joke.
	Yeah.
	Uh, Satan?
	I'm Satan reincarnated.
	Why would you even say that, Mr.
	President?
	Why would you even conjure up the...
	I kind of like that one.
	I'm putting that in top priority for right now.
	You got more?
	No, I think that's it.
	Okay, let's see what I have.
	I have...
	Dr.
	Fauci is a farce.
	Okay.
	Oh, no, no.
	It's okay.
	It's okay.
	Mm-hmm.
	I have...
	That one was sent in by...
	That, by the way, was sent in by one of our producers.
	Yeah.
	And I just...
	And I sent back.
	I said, you know, you got to cut these to make them shorter.
	That was too long.
	No, I... Actually, that was the shorter version.
	I cut it shorter.
	Okay.
	Yeah, it was longer before.
	Still long.
	Yeah.
	I am Q. I kind of like that one, too.
	And...
	Wow.
	That is incredible.
	Okay, boom.
	There it is.
	That's it, right?
	The only boom of the day.
	I thought you would like that.
	Let me just check.
	It needs to be pumped up volume.
	It seems like it needs to be potted up a little bit.
	Hold on.
	Let me do the digital Fandango on it here.
	Hold on.
	Make sure it's working okay.
	Normalize.
	Boost.
	Here we go.
	Wow.
	That is incredible.
	Yeah.
	We're a winner.
	We're a winner.
	Let me see what else.
	Was there anything else?
	Oh yeah, I just wanted to...
	There's a couple other things you should probably mention.
	The main one being the Pentagon.
	Of course, this is completely off the radar now.
	The Pentagon has now admitted it trained seven of the attackers and assassins of the Haitian president.
	Seven of them were trained by the U.S. Seven out of how many?
	I think there were 12 or 15.
	But what's interesting is Kirby, we all know spokeshole Kirby, he did a Q&A, but he did not do it on camera, and the record reflects an off-camera interview.
	And so there's all these questions.
	So question, hi, thank you.
	My question is to do with the assassination in Haiti.
	Some of the suspected people involved received training from the U.S. military, blah, blah, blah.
	And here's the answer.
	So, I think we can confirm, thus far, we've identified seven individuals who were former members of the Colombian military that had received some sort of training and education, U.S.-funded and provided education and training.
	Some of it was under State Department funding and authorities, State Department.
	Spooks.
	And some, some of the training was under Department of Defense and Department of Defense funded training.
	But to give an example of some of them that we've identified, and this isn't by individual, I'm not going to get into speaking to individuals because, gosh, why would you?
	But cadet leadership development, counter drug operations, non-commissioned officer professional development, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	We train thousands of individuals all the time, so it could happen anywhere.
	I'm paraphrasing now.
	This is, he's throwing up such a smoke screen.
	Not much of one.
	But I mean, trained by the State Department, or the State Department personnel, that's where the spooks are.
	It's usually known as...
	With that little State Department spook operation.
	It's either that.
	They have their own spy agency.
	It's either that, or when you hear the phrase, civilian in the State Department, that's definitely a spook.
	And that's CIA level spook.
	So, quite interesting that nothing is spoken about Haiti anymore.
	When they had the earthquake, it was top of the news day and night, and the Clintons were there, and everyone was...
	And then from the supply chain issue, just to wrap all of these things up, we're keeping our eye on what there's a shortage of.
	I've heard this one repeatedly.
	The biggest problem these days is glassware and bottles.
	Beer companies can often not...
	There's not enough bottles.
	Use cans.
	So, is China also the only place that we can get our glass bottles from?
	Is that the...
	I don't understand why you'd buy glass bottles from China.
	Cheap?
	It makes no sense.
	I mean, we had two glass factories.
	I used to be in it.
	When I was an air pollution inspector, I had these facilities to look over.
	We had two.
	Pittsburgh PBG had one, and there was an anchor of one of these other glass companies pretty much next to it, which is a great thing to go into.
	The glass factory is unbelievable, especially down below where all the molten glass leftover stuff comes dripping down.
	And I don't think those facilities are working anymore.
	Anchor Hawking, I think was the name of the other company.
	I don't know why we're not making...
	It makes no sense to me.
	And all this recycling we're doing for bottles, I mean, which we were doing back then, too, before they put the bottle bill through.
	Yeah, the bottle bill.
	The bottle bill is a scam, I will say.
	What was the bottle bill?
	I don't know if I'm familiar.
	The bottle bill is that you have to pay a deposit whether you like it or not for every glass bottle you buy from the store.
	And then it's just a tax.
	Yeah, it was income for the homeless.
	So they could guess.
	There's an element to that.
	I thought that was always a great idea.
	All right.
	Anything else for the...
	No, I have nothing that's worth...
	I mean, there's a few things, but there's nothing good.
	Yeah.
	I will...
	I got this one clip voting in Texas.
	Did we talk about that?
	We're not on this show, so we can talk about it.
	Last year, a man in Harris County, Texas, waited more than six hours to vote.
	I want to get my vote in, and I'm not going to let none stop.
	Hervis Rogers was the very last voter in line.
	Hervis Rogers was one of the last people to vote in the Democratic primary on Super Tuesday in Houston.
	I've been here for like five hours, but I got to finish the job, though.
	And it made him the subject of a lot of national news coverage, including on NPR. Rogers was the last to vote at the polling site at 1 a.m.
	That was last year.
	This week, in a story that says a lot about the fight over voting rights in this country, Hervis Rogers was arrested for voting in that election.
	Waiting six hours to vote could end up costing this Houston man years in prison.
	His attorney says it was an honest mistake.
	Rogers didn't know that under Texas election law, which is among the most restrictive in the country, he was not eligible to vote.
	And that's because he was on parole, stemming from burglary charges decades before.
	His parole status, well, it was due to expire just three months after he voted.
	He was arrested just a day before the Texas legislature began a special session that would have considered a new law that would make it even harder to vote.
	The Texas bill would mandate new ID requirements for voting by mail and ban drive-through voting sites and 24-hour voting.
	You know, we are so racist here.
	We just are so racist.
	I could do Texas stories all because they're really going after Texas.
	Yes, we're racist.
	And this voting thing, the guy was an illegal voter.
	Yes.
	And everyone's, oh my God!
	He waited for six hours to vote illegally and now they're making it tougher.
	You're going to have to have an ID. So this guy didn't have an ID, obviously, either.
	Mm-hmm.
	If he had an ID and he wasn't registered, he wouldn't have been able to vote.
	He wouldn't have got arrested.
	So the whole thing is bull crap.
	Yes.
	I would say that the counter line that they're using here in Texas is we're making it easier to vote and harder to cheat, which is probably true.
	They have expanded some hours, but it doesn't matter.
	We're being painted as a bunch of racists, and the Democratic Party, who is behind all of this, all this name-calling, and the state of Texas and the Texans will not forget what you're calling us.
	They know they have a very limited amount of time.
	They're trying to delay and keep the cheating mechanisms or possibility in place for the midterms.
	That's the only thing they have.
	They're idiots.
	Texas is laughing their ass off about these Democrats who left.
	And I say these Democrats because I disdain them.
	They got on a private plane, all vaccinated, no masks, and now six of them have tested positive.
	So the whole thing is laughable.
	Yeah, they infected Nancy Pelosi.
	Or her office.
	Well, but the name-calling is not going to be forgotten.
	And everyone.
	And they know, too.
	Because if you ask, well, tell me exactly what the problem is.
	Well, they hate black people.
	Okay, thanks.
	I will leave everyone with the latest updates from John McAfee's official telegram, which has been activated, has been active, is posting as John McAfee.
	Dead alive, dead man switch, who knows?
	And although I... I can't quite decode everything.
	What it appears to be is that he has 31 terabytes of documents, maybe photographs, I think photographs, maybe film material, which would be the Epstein archive.
	This is the way he is presenting it, or whatever the McAfee Telegram account is doing.
	And each of the, either these documents or pictures or videos is being packaged up as an NFT. So he's trying to do some kind of, and I don't know if it's the, it's probably not the actual document or picture, but maybe a key to decode the encrypted files.
	I mean, it's still very sketchy to me, but it looks like something's going on.
	Yeah, I'm saying this is going to be a big hoax.
	It could be.
	I mean, that would make sense.
	But, you know, from time to time, you just got to mention what's going on so people can be aware.
	It's going on.
	I mean, of course, I really want it to be true.
	We all understand that.
	What a hoot that would be.
	It would be a hoot.
	It'd be good for the show.
	That's all we care about.
	Coming up next on noagendastream.com would be Hog Story, Fletcher and Blaney bringing it for us.
	End of show mixes, Rolando Gonzalez, Tom Starkweather, and back after a full year, UK PMX. With an end-of-show mix.
	Good to have him back.
	And I would say, at some point, these end-of-show mixes will become an audio history of the times that we lived in.
	We could probably put them all back-to-back and you'd understand exactly what happened.
	Coming to you from the heart of Texas Hill Country, FEMA Region No.
	6 on the governmental maps.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where everybody's vaccinated, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We return on Thursday with another fun, jam-packed episode of Your Best Podcasting Universe.
	Remember, you're producing it.
	And please remember us at dvorak.org slash na.
	Until Thursday.
	Adios, mofos!
	And such.
	Oh, no agenda? - That...
	Oh, no agenda?
	It's kind of funny in a spooky kind of way.
	Oh, no agenda?
	Where of the tell?
	Information?
	Oh, no agenda?
	Come on now.
	What is happening is not a virus.
	Oh, no agenda?
	Come on now.
	Information?
	Total lie.
	Oh, no agenda?
	Come on now.
	You cannot trust the government and the media anymore.
	Oh, no agenda?
	Come on now.
	Information?
	Everybody cheats.
	Oh, no agenda?
	Come on now.
	They all seem like they're beside themselves with anxiety.
	Two old dudes.
	It's out there.
	That was soul crushing, but otherwise very flattering.
	It's out there.
	It's out there.
	Dice back to the media.
