	Adam Curry.
	John C. Devorak.
	It's Sunday, August 1st, 2021.
	This is your award-winning Kimbo Nation Media Assassination, episode 1369.
	This is No Agenda.
	Bunny, bunny, rabbit, rabbit, and broadcasting live from the heart of Texas Hill Country, FEMA Region No.
	6.
	In the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where the Delta variant exists and thrives, I'm John C. DeVore.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	I guess you got it there, huh?
	It's all over.
	The Delta.
	Delta has landed.
	Delta, Delta, Delta.
	I'd like to make an observation to start the show off.
	The vaccines do not work, and instead of Pfizer saying, and the big pharma saying, hey, you know, they don't work, we've got to figure this out.
	Instead, let's just blame it on the unvaccinated, which of course are Trumpers, which of course live in the red states, which of course are douchebags and should be eliminated and purged.
	Am I kind of getting close?
	Well, there's obviously some element of that or we wouldn't be hearing so much about it.
	The vaccines...
	Well, I don't know if I want to start off with this series of clips, but I heard on NPR the Delta Wacky.
	This Wacky...
	Probably the most...
	I wish we had more doctors listen to this show.
	I want to hear some feedback about the screwiest theory I've ever heard on public broadcasting anything.
	It's a science writer, goes on and off about this.
	You want to play these?
	Yeah, I don't know.
	You've got me in the edge of my seat.
	I know, I'm teasing the hell out of it.
	The first clip is the tease, actually, too.
	And it's Delta Wacky 1, and the words are Delta Wacky's combined.
	Health officials around the world are adjusting their plans for combating the coronavirus pandemic in light of the more infectious Delta variant and concern that even vaccinated people can spread it.
	Here in the United States, for example, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is once again recommending that everyone, including those who are vaccinated, wear masks indoors in high-risk areas.
	We wondered why the Delta variant is causing problems that other variants haven't.
	So we asked NPR science correspondent Joe Pelka to help explain that.
	Hi, Joe.
	And we should probably also mention, and what a great catch you had in the newsletter, there's a large chance the term chickenpox may show up in every single report we play today.
	I know, I caught it early.
	You've got to tell everybody about that, because that was, I mean, I looked and went, oh, this was a CDC memo that supposedly leaked information.
	Did you know that?
	It was leaked.
	No.
	Yes.
	No, of course we don't buy that.
	For what you discovered, go ahead, say it.
	Tell everybody.
	It was great.
	Everybody, it's in the newsletter, everybody who, on all the news channels, and I'm waiting for the supercut to come out, they're all equating the Delta variant with the chickenpox.
	And the quote is, it's as contagious as the chickenpox.
	Hold on.
	Here's a 20 second example.
	Growing urgency behind President Biden's new vaccination push.
	Yesterday, he announced that federal workers must be vaccinated or you have to get regular testing.
	And now the Washington Post reports that leaked internal CDC documents suggest that this Delta variant, which is a dominant strain in America, may be spread as easily as a chickenpox.
	Leak my ass.
	Ha ha ha!
	Thank you.
	So they're all saying that.
	And the point is, and that really wraps it up, think of the children.
	There's another point that wasn't made in the newsletter.
	I mean, the main point was, well, think of the children, because you associate chicken pox with children, and children can't get the vaccine.
	Well, they're getting ready to...
	Children are getting vaccinated, but they want more.
	They want more younger.
	Yeah, you want to get the under-12s, the kids, you want to get babies.
	You get the embryos.
	Just shoot it right through the pregnant mother's stomach.
	Might as well.
	Yeah.
	All right, so they bring this guy on, the science guy.
	Now, I want you to listen to this and tell me what you think.
	These are all short.
	There are five of them, except the number four is a little long.
	But let's go with Delta Wacky, number two.
	Hi, Kelsey.
	So what is it about the Delta variant that's causing all of these problems?
	How are people who are vaccinated supposed to think about this?
	Well, the first thing they should know is that the vaccines work, and what they're supposed to do is prevent you from getting extremely sick or winding up in the hospital or dying.
	So that's the first thing.
	Keep that in mind.
	But vaccines give you systemic immunity, meaning all the inner organs of your body, like the lung and the kidney and the liver, are protected, but it doesn't give you local immunity that is in the nose and throat, and that's where the virus gets in.
	What?!
	I'm no doctor, but what is this local immunity in your nose all of a sudden?
	Okay.
	He's just getting started.
	Wait, do we have a name for this douche?
	Yeah, he had his name.
	I also left it in the outro so you can write it down if you want to send him a note.
	This is great.
	I'm excited.
	Okay, here we go, three.
	Now, it turns out the Delta variant is particularly good at replicating in the nose and throat, so it can take hold there even though a vaccinated person will be protected from serious disease.
	So what you're saying is the current vaccines, the ones that people are getting right now, are not really designed to prevent the coronavirus from infecting the nose and throat.
	Not specifically, but I talked with Frances Lund, who's chair of the Department of Microbiology at the University of Birmingham in Alabama, about that, and she says if you have a really...
	I'm sorry, it's the University of Alabama in Birmingham, and she says if you have a really strong immune response after getting vaccinated, then you might be protected in both the lungs and the upper airway, such as the nose and throat, from infection.
	On the other hand...
	If your vaccine response is not super duper or it's starting to wane a little bit and you have a virus that can replicate really fast, then yeah, you will end up with some limited period of time where that virus is replicating even in the vaccinated people.
	What happened there?
	This guy's talking and then they go to a clip so quick.
	Or was that someone else in the room?
	I didn't understand what happened.
	No, that's the doctor from the University of Alabama in Birmingham.
	She doesn't confirm his crackpot theory that you can have a localized version of the disease in your throat.
	It doesn't go anywhere else.
	It's just in my nose.
	Or just in your nose, which makes no sense whatsoever.
	She just talks about that some people can get a mild version if they didn't get it.
	She's also reiterating the idea that if you get sick as a dog from the vaccine, that means it's working, which has been a common theme.
	This is my favorite, yeah.
	If you get sick, it's working!
	It's my favorite theme of the show, yeah.
	Oh, she almost died from the shot.
	Oh, that means it's working.
	Yeah, it's working.
	Yeah, sure.
	I've never noticed this with any other vaccine I've ever gotten.
	I mean, I've had yellow fever shots.
	I've had the Prevenar recently.
	I've never had near-death experience from the shot.
	That means it's working.
	Oh, it's working.
	Hey, I'm sick as a dog, Doc.
	I just got this shot.
	Oh, that means it's working.
	Come on.
	So now we have this localized, you just get COVID in one spot of your body and it doesn't, this is crazy.
	Crazy.
	Yeah.
	So let's go to, I think we're on to three.
	Four, I believe.
	Three.
	No, I think we're three.
	Really?
	Uh, okay.
	Sorry about that.
	Three it is.
	Now, it turns out the Delta variant is particularly good at replicating in the nose and...
	I think we just played this.
	We just played this.
	Okay, I don't remember.
	That's funny.
	What happened to two?
	Okay, well, let's play three.
	No, no, we played the teaser, and then two was the first new clip.
	Okay, right, right.
	Okay, let's go to four.
	So if you were to take a nasal swab from that person, then yes, they'd be infected.
	But the key is that for someone who is vaccinated, the virus might not be able to main its foothold in someone's nose, if you'll forgive the manual medicine.
	Wow.
	In other words, they might be infectious for a day or two.
	Somebody who's not vaccinated, it'll be a week or more that they could be transmitting the virus.
	So what determines whether someone who does have the virus in their nose will transmit it to other people?
	Do we know?
	Well, not specifically, but it's this idea that every time you cough or sneeze, or even if you're breathing heavily and you happen to be standing near someone, the more viruses there is in the nose, the more likely these sneezes and coughs will contain virus particles that could infect someone.
	And what does this mean in terms of those breakthrough infections among vaccinated people that we're hearing so much about right now?
	So much.
	Well, the Delta variant may be slightly, slightly more likely to cause a breakthrough infection.
	That's not certain.
	But since it's spreading now, and since it's the main virus out there, if you're going to have any kind of breakthrough infection, it's going to be with the Delta variant.
	So since we know all of this, is anybody working on a vaccine that would block the virus from infecting those cells in the nose and throat in the first place?
	Yes, these are vaccines that are administered as a nasal spray, and they have something like that for the flu vaccine.
	Francis Lund says there are seven different COVID-19 vaccines being studied in human subjects, and it's early days for those studies, and it's not clear whether any of them work because creating nasal vaccines against the coronavirus is something researchers are just learning to do.
	It feels like the advertiser called up and said, okay guys, we got poison Tylenol, you gotta run some interference while we figure it out.
	It sounds a little like that, and you can kind of spot it by the way he's doing this reporting.
	He's talking about, they bring him, and it's like a script.
	She's reading from the script, he's got the same script.
	They bring up the nasal vaccines, and then he just jumps to, oh, we're working on seven different kinds of new other vaccines.
	Oh, that's Pfizer then.
	There's got to be a Pfizer shill.
	This guy?
	Yeah.
	No, he's their regular guy.
	He's their science guy.
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Okay.
	Sure.
	Maybe.
	I don't think so.
	Well, he's all in.
	He'll be all in.
	Well, the whole company's all in.
	That's the deal.
	You just do what you're told.
	Yeah.
	But this guy, he talks about the nasal vaccine, because that's the way to do it, to get rid of this localized version of the COVID vaccine.
	A localized infection.
	And then he jumps to the seven vaccines he's talking about.
	He never says that even one of them is a nasal vaccine, but he kind of...
	This is an example of that conflation idea where you kind of talk about two things at the same time and hopefully people will ignore the fact that what you're saying is nonsense because you're talking about one thing and then talking about another thing that's not really confirming anything you're talking about originally.
	I would like to play the end of that again if you can, if you can find that spot.
	Yeah, of course.
	New problem, I think, around here.
	In the first place.
	Yes, these are vaccines that are administered as a nasal spray, and they have something like that for the flu vaccine.
	Francis Lund says there are seven different COVID-19 vaccines being studied in human subjects, and it's early days for those studies, and it's not clear whether any of them work, because creating nasal vaccines against the coronavirus is something researchers are just learning to do.
	So at no point does he say any of those seven vaccines are nasal vaccines.
	But he implies that all seven of them are.
	So this is the kind of really bad thing.
	You know what it also could be?
	I know a version of this type of journalist.
	It's the music journalist.
	And what happens is the music journalist gets invited to come into the studio when they're laying the last tracks down or doing the mixing.
	And you're so involved in that process, in that case the creative process, so I'm sure that a science journalist would be very enamored with the incredible space-age moonshot of these.
	Science journalists, photography journalists that are given these junkets by Kodak in the day, old days, no longer over.
	All real estate journalists, which are considered the worst journalists.
	What I like most about you is when you went on a junket, you would take the junket and then write a shitty review.
	I had this theory.
	I told young journalists this.
	I said, yes, it's a conflict of interest to go on these junkets, but not if you're honest.
	Go on the junket and tell it like it is, even if it's a very negative thing.
	These people are not your friends.
	You'll find that out, by the way, like I found out after I'm out of business.
	None of these people are your friends.
	You were de-platformed before it was en vogue, man.
	And you can blast the hell out of the people putting on the junket, because to be honest about it, once you go on the junket, you're not going on it again.
	If you write a good review, you've done your job, they're not inviting you back.
	If you write a bad review, they're not inviting you back.
	They're not inviting you back.
	Exactly.
	So just, you know, if it's worth a blast or you want to write something critical, don't worry about it.
	And if everyone took that advice, then these junkets would be structured a little differently.
	I mean, there are some junkets that are just poorly structured.
	It's a long story, but it's beside the point.
	Let's get to this Delta Variant 5, this maniac in this end of the clips.
	So, seven different vaccine candidates being studied.
	That's a lot, but that, like you said, can take a while.
	What can people do if they don't want to transmit the virus to others while they're waiting?
	Well, they could lock themselves in a closet and not interact with anybody, but that's probably the bad plan.
	A much better plan is to wear a mask.
	That's what health officials have been saying.
	Yeah.
	A lot of the time you don't know when you're sick.
	That's the devious thing about this virus, but you can still be infectious.
	So a mask is the safest thing to do when you're in a place where you could possibly infect other people.
	That was NPR science correspondent Joe Palka.
	Joe, thanks for joining us.
	So, just to reiterate what you started the show off with, vaccines don't work.
	I think these clips prove it.
	Yeah.
	As much as they're trying not to prove it, but the idea that you're going to get COVID in your nose and throat, but nowhere else in your body, and you're going to transmit it, and then it's going to go, is crazy talk.
	I would like to...
	I could be wrong.
	I'm not a doctor.
	No, no, no.
	Have you ever heard of such a thing?
	No.
	No, of course not.
	Oh, this guy, yeah, he's got a temporary...
	I don't know what he would even call this.
	I would like to have some of our physicians...
	Respond in some emails in the next few weeks about this nonsense.
	I mean, it just doesn't make sense.
	But we always have to remember...
	These are scientists.
	These are experts.
	And the science continues to change.
	Science has changed.
	The war is changing.
	Let's just take one quick second just to laugh, and then we can get back to these vaccines.
	What isn't working and what is happening?
	This is the up-and-coming spokeshole for the White House, Karine Jean-Pierre.
	There's not many people I really look at and dislike when the mouth opens, but she's one of them.
	It started with MSNBC, where she was Oh, I don't know any of this.
	Yeah, this is...
	Information is new.
	Yeah, she was born in Martinique.
	So she's actually a frog.
	She's French.
	But I think she grew up in Haiti.
	Really tiny, tiny little woman.
	I'm sure you've seen her.
	I probably have, but give me her name so I can look at her.
	Karine, K-A-R-I-N-E, Jean-Pierre.
	Hyphenated.
	You'll see, you go like, oh, this one.
	Watch.
	So, Karine Jean-Pierre.
	Are you looking at her?
	Oh, yeah.
	Do you remember?
	Now, if you look at her Wikipedia, it actually lists that she's an activist.
	And she was an activist pundit on MSNBC. She's from Haiti, you said?
	Well, she grew up, she was born in Martinique, and I believe she grew up in Haiti, because she was even named one of the most important.
	Oh, she's going to be gray as the Saki replacement.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Let's start with a little fun with her.
	The way we see this is that we have the tools in our tool belt to fight this variant, to fight this vaccine.
	And we...
	Come on, John.
	Wakey, wakey.
	You didn't hear it, did you?
	Here we go!
	The way we see this is that we have the tools in our tool belt to fight this variant, to fight this vaccine.
	She's fighting the vaccine because, you know, why not?
	In fact, maybe I should play that since we're going to have fun with her, as you said.
	This is a question that came up during the briefing.
	This has got to be a Fox News journalist.
	I don't know who asked the question.
	But it was quite a simple question.
	How do you test for the Delta variant?
	Does everyone have the test?
	We were asking on the last show.
	Is it possible to actually go to CVS and find out if I have the Delta variant?
	Or how does that go up into the CDC? And how do they know?
	How do they know it's different?
	That's a good question.
	The answer, not so.
	I don't even understand.
	Why would they explain their process of how they're determining it to the Delta variant?
	I mean, that's what they are telling us.
	I laid out how contagious it was, and I laid out why we needed to act on the Delta variant.
	The answers we get is because they say so.
	Well, they're the experts.
	It's not just day.
	These are scientists.
	These are experts.
	Hold on one second.
	I just said that Dr.
	Lewinsky said just recently in her 20-year career she had never seen a variant that was so contagious.
	So this is 20 years of her career.
	So this is absolutely, absolutely a major, major problem that we are trying to deal with.
	That's why we heard from the President yesterday.
	That's why we keep talking about people need to get vaccinated.
	So that is the way that we're trying to move in this administration, making sure that we are protecting people here, making sure that we're dealing with this pandemic in a way that is effective, and that's how we're going to move forward.
	I'll take another question.
	So she was really baffled by the question.
	I don't understand.
	Why are you asking this?
	Because the scientists told us that.
	And this woman, what was her name, Lewinsky?
	She's staking her 20-year career on it.
	I don't care.
	Well, she said that in her 20 years, she's never seen such a contagious variant.
	COVID hasn't been around for 20 years.
	COVID-19, SARS-2.
	Okay, just quickly.
	I looked into this a little bit more, and I think I found out how this is done.
	How they come up with this idea that the Delta's dominant.
	Before I do that, I want to...
	This woman, this new spokeshole, is dumb.
	Yes.
	She's a dummy.
	She cannot...
	And you really appreciate Psaki, who learned it from Noodleman, is Psaki can be talking, looking you right in the face, and flipping to the right tab.
	She looks down, she's got her line, and she continues.
	This Jean-Pierre...
	She doesn't have that capability.
	No, she's a dummy.
	And she looks like deer in the headlights.
	She's already flustered.
	She looks like deer in the headlights if you see the whole video.
	The press is going to have a field day with this.
	Yes, and they're starting to do what they used to do with Trump.
	They're starting to yell and shout over each other and yell through her.
	She does not have control of the room.
	But we know Psaki's leaving, so I don't know, she's it.
	I mean, I don't want anyone to fail at their job, but it'll be fun to watch.
	No, yeah, but sometimes it's for a benefit.
	Okay, so what I understand now is that the health departments in the various areas in the country, they do a, once a month, they do an assay.
	of a sampling of the people that are infected for the genetic differences.
	And once a month, they come up with their numbers of how many, what variants are what.
	numbers of how many, what variants are what.
	And there's about eight of them and they, they track them once a month and they put out a monthly report about which is which.
	And there's about eight of them.
	And right now the Delta variants in California, the only ones I've looked at is just overwhelming.
	It's like 90% of all of all coronavirus cases are Delta.
	And that would probably be because of the high vaccination rate in California.
	It's a possibility.
	So I don't have to read it since I think you kind of summarized it.
	We have a dude named Ben who actually is a consultant in the commercial lab industry.
	And he's seen the machines and he confirms.
	He's more confirming the technology than the monthly upload, what you're saying.
	I think that makes total sense.
	I'd still like to see the logistics of it.
	It has to be a sampling.
	It can't be every test done.
	And are they excluding people retesting?
	We know that that's not happening.
	It's really, they're just looking at, they take their sample, maybe a thousand, maybe, probably more like a hundred.
	Yeah.
	And then they look at the numbers and they say, oh, this is, the hundred's actually not bad.
	And you say, well, 98% of them are this, and the two are this, and one is this.
	But there's eight of them, so it's probably, you can see, I looked at the charts, and the delta is just, it is the, everyone's, if you get it, you're getting delta.
	Right.
	If you're getting Delta in the UK, we get a note from Sir Jacob, guardian of the Limburg coast, and he sent me a variant of concern briefing, which is an official document, and if you look at page 1314, it shows Delta variant deaths separates the unvaccinated from the vaccinated.
	It's a small sample, 50 deaths for the vaccinated, 44 for the unvaccinated.
	Well, that news isn't being pushed around.
	I'll tell you, the litany on this, at least on the West Coast, is that for every 50 dead, the 46 are unvaccinated and 4 are vaccinated.
	So that is just contrary to what we're being told by the media.
	Well, there's a lot of interesting reports, and I think the one from...
	Let me see, do I have that here?
	The Massachusetts area.
	We'll get to that.
	Hold on.
	Let's...
	I got a little off track.
	Let me bring it back, just so we understand, because we're already deep into variants and leaky vaccines.
	That seems to be the term, leaky.
	It used to be you had a breakthrough infection, which to me actually is quite stupid from a marketing perspective.
	Why would you...
	It changed something that everyone understands.
	It's a breakthrough, which sounds like...
	I mean, you can interpret it different ways.
	It sounds positive, but it can also...
	It broke through this wall, so it was a breakthrough.
	But it didn't...
	You don't think about the vaccine when you talk about breakthrough infection.
	When you say, leaky vaccine, oh, that gives me a visual I don't even like.
	So I don't know how they're allowing that to happen.
	You know what I mean?
	Leaky vaccine.
	My arm is oozing and dripping.
	I don't know.
	Doctor, what's wrong?
	We've talked a lot about ADE, which is antibody-dependent enhancement, which is what this appears to be.
	And I have a couple of clips to back that up.
	But one of our producers, we do have the best producers in the universe, reminded me of a clip we played on episode 1300.
	So 69 episodes ago.
	So what is that?
	December.
	December of last year.
	And in hindsight, when you hear this, and I forget these things, man.
	There's so much stuff we've done on this show throughout the years.
	Even 1300, I couldn't remember.
	This was Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
	And it's a little longer clip, but good to the last drop.
	And he kind of explained where this all might be headed back in December.
	Yes!
	The government's been trying for almost 30 years to develop a coronavirus vaccine, and it's been unsuccessful.
	And beginning in 2002, there were three outbreaks of coronavirus, we call them SARS, at that point in Mertz.
	And the first SARS was a natural...
	The second two were lab-created that escaped and infected human beings.
	And so the governments of China and a consortium of Western governments all got together and put millions and millions of dollars into an effort to develop a coronavirus vaccine and between 2002 and 2012 or 2014 they worked very hard to do that and what happened is they developed about 35 vaccines and four of them were really promising they chose the four most promising and they gave them to ferrets which is the animal that is most analogous
	to human beings when it comes to upper lung respiratory infections The ferrets had a brilliant, robust, and durable antibody response.
	But then something horrible happened.
	And those ferrets were challenged when they were exposed to the wild virus.
	They got horribly sick.
	They got inflammation throughout their bodies, and they died.
	The scientists remembered that something very similar had happened in the 1960s where they had developed a vaccine for RSV, which is very similar to coronavirus.
	It's an upper respiratory infection ailment.
	They had skipped the animals and given them directly to 35 children.
	And the children, again, had developed a very robust antibody response.
	But when those children were exposed to the wild virus, they got very, very sick.
	Much sicker than unvaccinated children.
	Two of those kids had died.
	It was a scandal.
	And they realized when this same thing happened with the ferrets, that there was something that they called enhanced immune response.
	It's also called pathogenic priming.
	And what it means is that when you get the vaccine, it appears that you have an antibody response.
	But when you actually encounter the wild virus, You become much sicker.
	And it actually creates a pathway that that virus hurts you a lot more than with unvaccinated people.
	So this was 2012.
	In 2014, NIH, under Fauci, developed a dengue vaccine.
	Which had some signals in it that there was pathogenic priming.
	In other words, in the clinical trials, they saw some signs that you could get an antibody response but get much sicker when you were exposed, but they ignored them.
	They gave it to the Philippines, and they gave hundreds of thousands of children this vaccine, and when the dengue came around, those children became horribly ill, and 600 of them died.
	And in the Philippines today, people are being criminally prosecuted for that.
	So the danger with the coronavirus vaccine is that you really need to test it on animals first.
	To make sure whatever the vaccine is, that we don't get that really great immune response followed by lethal infections.
	And it's very, very strange to me and seems almost criminally reckless that Anthony Fauci is allowing these companies to skip animal trials and to go directly to human trials.
	I'm sorry, that was still on the clip from the old show.
	So, that was...
	And I need to remind everybody that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
	is number two on the Disinfo Dozen list, so you should not listen to him.
	You fully crapped this guy.
	You should not listen to him.
	Now, let's move forward to...
	I'm sorry.
	So...
	This explains to me, if this is something that's a possibility, and based on those British numbers that you just cited that contradict the numbers that we're told by our media, which is more people that are having breakthroughs that are...
	More people are having breakthrough infections than people are having normal infections.
	This is the reason for telling everyone who's...
	If you're vaccinated, mask up.
	Well, let's not go so fast.
	I mean, this is very irritating about these breakthroughs.
	Breakthroughs are now leaky vaccines.
	That would be something that would probably be tracked by the Centers for Disease Control.
	The CDC stopped providing public information on total breakthrough infections in late April when the tally hit 10,000.
	Instead, it only posted data when they led to hospitalization or death.
	So NBC News reached out to all 50 states.
	38 responded.
	We found more than 125,000 fully vaccinated Americans have tested positive for COVID. According to a CDC internal document, there are now roughly 35,000 breakthrough infections per week.
	So they just stopped.
	Where did you get that clip?
	It's NBC Nightly News.
	I sure missed that one.
	Well, this is the Clip Custodian.
	The Clip Custodian is giving his life twice a week to watch this.
	To watch this shit.
	Yeah.
	Well, but this is...
	Go ahead.
	Something triggered me a thought in there as he was yakking away this post.
	Well, here's the problem I have with now these series of clips.
	So now they're vaccinating children.
	They want to vaccinate even younger children.
	And God forbid children start dying in the fall because they might get the virus in the wild.
	It's going to be unvaccinated people's fault.
	It will create real issues.
	When children start dying, Pfizer's not going to say, sorry.
	They're all going to blame red states, Republicans, Trumpers, insurrectionists.
	It's very disturbing.
	Well, they're going to do their best, but it's not going to work.
	It's already failing.
	And I think that there's too much information.
	It's just, I don't know.
	You're not going to be able to pull it off.
	I hope so.
	I hope you're right.
	You can't pull it off.
	It's too late.
	Let's go to 2021, antibody-dependent enhancement.
	There was an interesting panel on the Banyan War Room podcast, and Dr.
	Malone had this to say.
	So this is the great fear that all vaccinologists have.
	This is the one thing that scares us all the most.
	And it cropped up in the 1960s with the development of the pediatric vaccine for respiratory syncytial virus.
	Vaccines are known can cause enhanced disease.
	Some vaccines make disease worse.
	The classic example of this phenomena of antibody-dependent enhancement, in which the antibodies actually make it possible for the virus to infect cells that it wouldn't otherwise infect, The classic example is dengue.
	When we get dengue the first time, there's four different strains of dengue.
	They're enough different that if you get the second strain that's different, it'll cause dengue hemorrhagic fever.
	That's what kills you.
	This phenomenon was also seen with the dengue vaccine.
	So, you know, just backing him up.
	I mean, I think he is an actual medical doctor.
	Unlike the disinfo-dozen number two with a bullet.
	So let's go over to the, um, authoritative voices.
	Which, no doubt, in these troubling times, includes CNN's very own Jose Gupta.
	I'm vaccinated.
	Why do I need to wear a mask?
	Right.
	Well, so first of all, for you, Jake, you know, if you look at that map, we can put that map back up again.
	What we're talking about here is areas where the virus is spreading in higher substantial ways.
	Where you are, as it turns out, D.C., it's moderate.
	So this is maybe going to confuse people even more.
	But technically speaking, according to this new guidance, Jake, in D.C., that wouldn't apply for vaccinated people in public indoor spaces.
	Okay, but you're in the red, right?
	You're in Atlanta.
	So why do you need to wear a mask?
	I'm in the red.
	Why do I need to wear it?
	So this is what they're saying.
	The new thing here...
	Wow, I've never heard Gupta do that.
	Repeat the question to give himself time to answer it.
	Did you catch that?
	Oh yeah.
	I've never heard him do that.
	He's always so assured of himself.
	He's somewhat flustered.
	He's also stammering a little bit.
	This is why I picked the clip.
	You're in the red, right?
	You're in Atlanta, so why do you need to wear an mask?
	Why do I need to wear it?
	So this is what they're saying.
	The new thing here, we've known for some time that vaccination rates aren't where they should be.
	We've known for some time that the Delta variant has become dominant.
	We already knew that.
	So what changed now is your question.
	The new data that the CDC is talking about basically states that someone who is a vaccinated person who develops an infection, a so-called breakthrough infection, could be carrying the same viral load, the same amount of virus in their nose or mouth, as someone who is an unvaccinated infected individual. as someone who is an unvaccinated infected individual.
	So vaccinated, infected, unvaccinated, infected, they may carry the same amount of virus.
	It does not mean that that vaccinated person is getting sick.
	It does not necessarily mean that anything else is sort of different in terms of how the vaccines work.
	It still works really well at keeping that person from getting sick.
	But could they still transmit?
	That is what Dr. Walton said.
	Walensky is talking about, this idea that it's possible.
	It's rare because the breakthrough infections aren't that common in the first place.
	So what we're talking about is not something that would happen frequently.
	But I think as the curves go up and we're going into the fall, I think they've decided that they want to introduce this indoor vaccinated masking again to try and get control of this.
	So what he's saying is, it's really just a psychological maneuver to get you ready for what's happening in the fall.
	He didn't really answer the question otherwise.
	And CNN has gone insane.
	They're doing packaged bits now.
	Check this.
	You know, I've been trying to write a vaccination theme song for a while, you know, get people to actually get the shot.
	But not many words rhyme with vaccinate.
	Maybe perpetuate?
	The struggle to vaccinate enough Americans against the coronavirus in order to achieve herd immunity has produced frustration, anger, and a whole lot of people doing things directly against their best interests when it comes to their health.
	Maybe the most upside-down bit of reality that's emerged from the politicization of what should be a public health issue is this.
	The people at the most risk...
	I just have to stop it there.
	That is so just unbelievable to me.
	Thanks to the politicization, and then he politicizes the thing right there, right in front of...
	Yeah, by saying thanks, Donald Trump.
	And Donald Trump's the one who pushed the vaccination.
	Yes!
	He's the one who made the thing happen.
	He's like a faxer.
	He got a vaccine after having had COVID. So what's Trump got to do with it?
	Trump's just the opposite.
	Because Trump has to be blamed.
	For the failure of the vaccine.
	This is unbelievable to me.
	No kidding.
	You have a guy who pushed the vaccine, pushed the operation fast track or something.
	Warp speed.
	Warp speed.
	He does the operation warp speed.
	He has COVID. He gets COVID. He gets hospitalized.
	Then he gets the vaccine after having COVID, which is stupid, but he did it anyway.
	And so it's his fault?
	No, it's not his fault, obviously, but this is to set you up to get you ready to blame the deaths on the Republicans.
	Come on, they're racist!
	They are anti-vax.
	These people are hopeless.
	It gets better.
	Their best interest when it comes to their health.
	Maybe the most upside down...
	I almost hurt my neck.
	...bit of reality that's emerged from the politicization of what should be a public health issue, thanks Donald Trump, is this.
	The people at the most risk of being infected with the Delta variant of the virus are the least concerned about getting it.
	A July CBS News YouGov poll paints a stark picture of this remarkable disconnect.
	Ask whether they were concerned about the Delta variant.
	Hold on a second.
	Who is this guy?
	And why do we care what he thinks or says?
	I'm just giving you an overall picture of CNN. No, I don't.
	I don't have that info on hand.
	I don't know.
	He sounds like a Bill Nye the Science Guy type of person.
	By the way, I heard he's actually very high in the Illuminati circles.
	I think he's high, but whether he's in the Illuminati circles, I'm not sure.
	Like Freemasons and stuff.
	He's like the high priest.
	All right, let's continue.
	...about getting it.
	A July CBS News YouGov poll paints a stark picture of this remarkable disconnect.
	Asked whether they were concerned about the Delta variant, the dominant strain of COVID-19 in the United States, and the one that has led to a major surge in cases, almost three in four vaccinated people, 72%, said they were worried about it.
	Less than half 48% of unvaccinated people said the same.
	Which is, and this is a technical science term, bonkers!
	Because, well, science.
	See, thanks for the ISO, by the way.
	Bonkers!
	This is how CNN thinks.
	People are stupid.
	We need to educate them.
	Bill Nye's doing a great job with climate change.
	Let's do this.
	And then just end with bonkers!
	Science!
	And just shut you up!
	Shut up!
	Shut up, slave!
	And here's the last one from CNN, short, but just to give you a feeling of what they're trying to do, which you say won't happen, and I'm happy that you feel that way.
	But up first today, four chilling words.
	The war has changed.
	The war has changed.
	That's the Rethink Everything takeaway from a brand new alarming CDC document that says the Delta COVID variant is as infectious as chickenpox, and that because of that, new precautions are urgently needed.
	Think about this.
	Just days ago, scientists put the Delta variant on par with the common cold, believing each infected person transmitted the virus to maybe two other people on average.
	The new CDC analysis says no.
	Each infected person on average is actually infecting eight or nine others.
	Okay.
	Does that mean we have an R-naught of eight?
	Do you remember the meme?
	I've got to put this thing together.
	Remember the meme that came out around February of 2020?
	Where they said one COVID will infect five, and then five will infect 25, and then everybody's infected.
	So they're reintroducing an old meme, the one will infect X number.
	Oh, yeah.
	Really?
	No, they're doing a lot of the same thing, such as all of a sudden numbers in Florida spike.
	And if you go look, it turns out, you know, they bundle all of their reports and they ship it off on a Friday.
	Yeah, I remember they used to do that once every three months.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And they get this huge number.
	So that's in play again.
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	Now, rising up the Disinfo Dozen chart with a bullet coming in at number five, he's almost off of Twitter, has another, his third week-long strike, Alex Berenson, former New York Times reporter, who has been on the cutting edge of the Disinfo.
	We know from the data in the UK and in Israel that more people who are vaccinated are dying than not.
	And even if you adjust for age and you adjust for the fact that people who are vaccinated are sicker in general and older, you don't get numbers of preventing infection and serious infection that are anything like.
	Anything like what was promised.
	So that's one issue.
	A second issue is this issue of the fact that because the vaccines are leaky, that's what they're known as.
	They're not sterilizing vaccines.
	They don't protect you 100%.
	There are going to be a lot of people out there who are carriers.
	And in some cases, it appears that those people have very high viral loads and don't know it.
	So they can pass the vaccine on both to other people who are vaccinated and people who are not.
	You've got to have the Joe Biden give me the whole load clip by the side.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	But you missed it.
	There was another gaffe.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	I'm missing the gaffes because I'm looking at this.
	They're not easy.
	Standby.
	There are going to be a lot of people out there who are carriers, and in some cases, it appears that those people have very high viral loads and don't know it.
	So they can pass the vaccine on with the other people who are vaccinated.
	It's not that hard to spot.
	Now, the thing is...
	I watched that.
	It was on Tucker Carlson.
	I watched that.
	And my bias didn't make it as funny as Karine Jean-Pierre.
	I just have to put that out there.
	It's like when Karine Jean-Pierre does it, I'm like, ah!
	When Alex Berenson does it, I go, oh, crap, man.
	How could you screw that up?
	It's like I'm totally biased now.
	Yes, you're biased.
	I'm biased.
	I admit it.
	Meanwhile...
	Everyone screws it up.
	I think we probably have ourselves.
	I'm sure we have ourselves, probably.
	Now, we still have to have the positive message, and Scandinavia is doing a really good job.
	This is a Canadian doctor.
	Remember how everybody...
	Again, the script is restarting.
	They don't have a secondary script.
	They didn't really prepare for this.
	That was never in Event 201.
	The vaccine would just work, or we'd get the passports.
	All that stuff was already set up.
	But we started off with the superhuman strength, how good we feel when we get the vaccine, and now they're just starting it over again.
	Okay, that's it.
	Oh my gosh, I'm so happy to be fully vaccinated.
	Oh, what a relief.
	And actually, I was so focused on taking the video and actually capturing it that I didn't even notice the needle going in.
	You know, the big question is going to be how am I going to feel later today, but I kind of don't care because...
	If I get symptoms, it just means that my immune system is actually working and doing what it's supposed to, building antibodies.
	In two weeks, I'm going to have all those antibodies.
	Give me them all!
	Okay.
	Okay, wait a minute.
	Stop.
	Yeah.
	I actually clipped one of these two.
	I don't know which one it is.
	It's just mixed in, but I didn't pick up on it.
	It'll maybe show up as we play clips.
	Uh-huh.
	But now that you play that with kind of the wraparound idea...
	I didn't notice it, but yes, I've been picking it.
	Now that you mention it, I have been seeing these people.
	Oh, I got the shot.
	I feel so much better about life.
	Rerun of the script, baby.
	It's exactly the same script.
	Oh, yeah.
	This is fantastic.
	They had no backup.
	So everything was going according to plan.
	Yes.
	But the funny thing was, if you had looked at the 1918 pandemic, as I mentioned in a couple of newsletters ago, this is an overlay.
	This is exactly the same.
	But I'd like to know the overlay of the news.
	I mean, of course, it's going to be a lot harder to track down, probably.
	Well, I think you can get most of those old newspapers, but the problem is that back in that day, it was truly distributed information.
	I mean, the Baltimore paper was writing one thing, the New York paper was writing another, the Florida paper was writing another.
	They had local reporters that actually reported, even though their accuracy doesn't necessarily mean this any better, but...
	I'm still looking for the Fauci.
	I'm just looking for the Fauci.
	Yes.
	Let's take a quick detour, and let's just go back to the media to be reminded, and a lot of this is, again, CNN, but also some of our...
	Actually, let's listen to our president first.
	Here we go.
	This is American tragedy.
	People are dying, and will die, who don't have to die.
	If you're out there unvaccinated, you don't have to die.
	Now, you can read this two ways.
	One is, you don't have to die from COVID, or you're unvaccinated, we're coming for you, you don't have to die, we don't have to kill you.
	You can read it a third way.
	Mm-hmm.
	Which is that everyone dies eventually at 80, 90, 100 years old, except for that Russian guy who got COVID and came out of the hospital at 102.
	He's actually making the claim that you're never going to die.
	I think he means you don't have to die by us killing you for not vaccinating, and here is some proof.
	It's in fact...
	You're unvaccinated.
	You present a problem to yourself, to your family, and to those with whom you work.
	You present a problem.
	Pretty harsh coming from the President of the United States.
	Yeah.
	The one who claims that you won't get sick.
	Kind of threatening.
	Now let's go back to CNN for a second, just to get a little bit of the vibe of how CNN looks at what...
	I mean, they clearly aren't looking at their ratings because this cannot enhance the overall audience size, except for me.
	I'm always going to be there for Don Lemon as a hate watch.
	This is his little crosstalk, just a bit, you know, when he hands over to, or when Chris Cuomo hands over to him.
	And here's what Don Lemon had to say, CNN. Don't get the vaccine, you can't go to the supermarket.
	Don't have the vaccine, you don't show it, you can't go to the ballgame.
	Don't have the vaccine, you can't go to work.
	If you don't have the vaccine, can't come here.
	No shirt, no shoes, no service.
	That's where I think we should be right now.
	Because we continue to waste our breath on people who are just not going to change.
	They're, you know, circular logic.
	They just keep going back and saying, well, it's my freedom, it's whatever.
	I mean, what is wrong with these people?
	You know what's coming next?
	Mo always says this.
	Separate drinking fountains.
	That's what he's waiting for.
	He's waiting for the reboot of that script.
	Because, you know, Jim Crow.
	He didn't find a drinking fountain.
	That works.
	That's kind of the irony.
	Final CNN clip from Dr.
	Liana Nguyen.
	She is the former Planned Parenthood director who got kicked out and hated her.
	She probably wouldn't...
	Okay, I'm not going to say...
	She got kicked out of Planned Parenthood and now she is the medical pundit for CNN. So the two questions.
	Right policy?
	Be tougher on masks again?
	More restrictive on masks again?
	And are they communicating it clearly?
	Mostly the right policy, terrible communication.
	I'm confused, and I think many people are very confused about what exactly happened and why.
	Here's what I think the Biden administration should have said.
	They should have said, the issue is not with the vaccinated.
	The issue is with the unvaccinated.
	The reason why we're having to go back to mask mandates indoors is that the unvaccinated didn't abide by the honor system.
	The honor code didn't work.
	And so the reason we're doing this now is we want to protect the unvaccinated from spreading to one another.
	That's why if there's no proof of vaccination, if there are vaccinated and unvaccinated people mixing in indoor spaces, that's why we need mask requirements.
	In addition, there are some individuals who may be living at home who, even if they're vaccinated themselves, may be living at home with unvaccinated family members or immunocompromised family members.
	Those individuals should take additional precautions.
	But right now the messaging is so confused from the CDC that it sounds like there's something wrong with the vaccine or there's something wrong with the vaccinated.
	That's neither of those things are true.
	The vaccines are still really effective at protecting you.
	Can't stop?
	Again, it brings you back down to the simple logic of, well, if you're vaccinated and so protected, what are you worried about?
	And she mentioned people being confused by the messaging.
	And that's interesting.
	This is one of the first times I've heard...
	Well, maybe...
	No, she's probably sincere.
	She works for CNN. So when she says the messaging is not good, that means you're not frightening people enough.
	You're not doing it right, CDC. But people are confused.
	They don't know which end is up anymore.
	There's a show in the United States on NPR called Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me.
	I think it's on Saturday or Sunday.
	And it's actually fun to listen to because it's with a live studio audience and they bring people on.
	Unfortunately, I don't know who this is.
	It doesn't matter.
	But they quiz people on headlines in the news, and they leave the keyword blank, and then you have to say what that actual headline is about.
	And this happened this past weekend.
	Okay, Maeve, this is for the game.
	Fill in the blank.
	On Monday, Pfizer and Moderna both announced they were testing their vaccine effects.
	I'm sorry?
	It's Peter Siegel.
	But I don't know who she is.
	She's the one we'll be listening to who's answering the question.
	She's just one of the call-ins.
	I think she's there, actually.
	I think she's on site.
	Okay, Maeve, this is for the game.
	Fill in the blank.
	On Monday, Pfizer and Moderna both announced they were testing their vaccine effects on blanks.
	Injections.
	On children.
	This week, a state lawmaker pulled an upset.
	Oh, no, that's good.
	That's good.
	I just remembered.
	So, her immediate reaction is, that's terrible!
	They're experimenting on...
	Oh, wait!
	No, no, that's good.
	I just remembered.
	Boing-oing-oing-oing.
	Boing-oing-oing.
	There was an interview recently with this Siegel character on NPR, and he is the unbelievable Trump hater that is just seething.
	On his show, he's a comedian.
	So on that show, you're taking the clip from him.
	He seems like a light-hearted, nice guy, and the show is semi-amusing.
	I used to listen to it because it was playing at the exact same time on Saturdays that I would go get the mail for the show.
	Oh, it is on Saturdays, yeah.
	A live show always sounds fun.
	There's something about it.
	Yeah, a live show sounds great.
	So...
	And so I listened to it, and it was, you know, always quasi-entertaining.
	But this guy, when he did an interview, wow, what a lefty.
	It's unbelievable.
	So I'm not a fan anymore.
	I mean, I don't like guys who are phonies.
	If he's going to be a Trump-hating left-wing phony, I mean, you know, just express yourself.
	I have a bunch of, I have some of these clips.
	Okay.
	Yeah, it's mostly raps.
	Okay, well, I have more.
	There's a couple other things, but you want to go ahead and throw your raps?
	There's a new term I want to...
	Oh, yes, please.
	...possible show title.
	COVID roulette.
	Okay.
	Unvaccinated Americans playing COVID roulette with a mix of reluctance and defiance.
	And in places like New Orleans, the dominant Delta variant has pounced.
	It's more aggressive, it's dantlier, and it is in our community.
	Nationally, new COVID cases have spiked almost 50%, rises in all 50 states, and 90% of U.S. jurisdictions.
	If you can, please go out and get vaccinated.
	Ominously, week-to-week COVID hospitalizations and deaths both jumped again.
	We're past the tipping point.
	We're in trouble.
	Trouble because of deserted vaccination clinics like this.
	Everyone has freedom of choice, even when it becomes your problem.
	I've done all I know how to do.
	Ivy's problem in Alabama.
	Crap, I want that ISO. I've done all I know how to do.
	Okay.
	First of all, artists.
	This is a likely show title.
	Please do not make COVID roulette art.
	Would that be fair to say, John?
	Well, you know, we never know because there's other potential show titles, but it's a real high-on-the-list candidate.
	It's so good.
	It is so good.
	Yeah, it's really funny.
	Hey, I have a question for you.
	Have you come across any conversation, any discussion about herd immunity with this incredibly fast-spreading variant that one person infects eight, according to CNN? Aren't we just going to be at herd immunity within a heartbeat?
	Yeah.
	No, but it's being mentioned less and less, and one number that keeps coming up is the numbers.
	I think in my clips, there's probably one or two mentions of this particular number.
	49%, according to one of these reports, 49% of all Americans are fully vaccinated.
	Mm-hmm.
	That to me means there's at least 20% more of all Americans that are half vaccinated.
	Yes.
	And the number of people who have recovered from COVID is over 100 million.
	So if we're not at herd immunity already...
	In Gillespie?
	I don't know what...
	In Gillespie County?
	We live in Gillespie County.
	I think it's 11,000 people are fully vaccinated.
	21,000 are partially vaccinated.
	There's only 26,000 people in the county.
	So the majority of people here have at least had some kind of vaccination, which makes me want to stay away from everybody right now.
	Yeah, exosomes.
	Yeah.
	But...
	And that doesn't include the people who have had COVID and are cured.
	They have natural antibodies, which is the way to go.
	Even though they keep wanting them to get vaccinated, which I think is part of that big number of the unvaccinated.
	It includes people that have had the disease.
	What is the point?
	This is still beyond me, why they keep pushing vaccinations on people who have had the disease.
	Um...
	I mean, because it would suck if only people died who had the vaccine.
	I don't know.
	They don't want it to be obvious.
	None of us know.
	They don't want it to be obvious.
	And, hey, that's what they tell us.
	Just listen to the White House.
	That's what they tell us.
	We have 20 years' experience.
	Are you crazy?
	Who are you to question that?
	Go over to your friend.
	We can play the roulette ones.
	I think the funnier clips are in the local rap one and two, if I'm not mistaken.
	We can go back to roulette 2 and 3 if you want.
	Yeah, let's do that.
	New cases here up 766% in the last month in a red state with one of America's lowest vaccination rates.
	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 know.
	Take Kentucky.
	Since March 1st, 95% of all COVID cases, 92% of all hospitalizations, and 89% of deaths were among unvaccinated or partially vaccinated people.
	I'm more afraid than anything, I put it that way, than I would have been, I guess, if I had gotten the vaccine.
	Coronavirus.
	If the Wuhan flu doesn't kill you, then media panic will.
	Now do whatever the government tells you they do.
	Okay.
	Number three.
	Yeah, go.
	Vaccination rates in the next few weeks may define this fourth phase of the virus.
	Like how I saw my parents struggling to breathe.
	It took me to watch my parents suffer.
	And there's new vaccine pressure.
	The NFL warned this week that outbreaks among unvaccinated players could lead to forfeited games and paychecks.
	And more universities and employers have started to impose vaccine mandates.
	Vaccines are how we end the pandemic, how we protect our communities, and how we retire our masks for good.
	But for now, masking is back.
	Okay.
	So now we're getting into the mandates.
	I just have a few short clips to play on that because it all kind of blends together.
	Whatever they're planning in the United States, they pale in comparison to British Columbia.
	British Columbia, Scandinavians, man, they've got it down.
	They know how to let you know that you are really safe.
	A BC Health Authority is apologizing after a vaccine clinic handed out yellow stars to people getting their second COVID vaccine.
	They were made aware of the issue from this tweet yesterday.
	Andrea Kotu wrote a yellow star for double vaccination.
	Really?
	Vancouver Coastal Health said it has no knowledge of the stars being handed out, but said we apologize profusely for any inadvertent distribution of this sticker.
	It noted that the use of yellow stars carries a heavy and tragic history.
	Jews were forced to wear the yellow star in Nazi-occupied Europe as identification.
	Now, what I love about this is that.
	Wait.
	What?
	Anybody in the audience, anyone in BC, can you get me one of the yellow stars, please?
	Send it to the post office box.
	Attention, no agenda shop.
	Do not make this premium item.
	Do not make this premium item.
	What I like, though, is they're not giving the yellow star to the unvaccinated, seething, infected human resources.
	No, they gave them to the vaccinated.
	That's the part that's genius.
	Even I could not have come up with that one.
	Yeah, it's the opposite.
	But anyway, that's a version of a passport.
	And these stickers are popping up in businesses and, you know, businesses themselves.
	And when you say there's no vaccine mandate, this is a 10-second clip.
	Tell me that this is not a government vaccine mandate for millions of people.
	If you want to do business with the federal government, get your workers vaccinated.
	The new rules will apply to about 4 million federal contractors and federal workers.
	That's a mandate.
	That's just a mandate.
	Can't say it's not a mandate.
	And it's 1% of the country is now mandated because they happen to work for a contractor, which is all of the D.C. metro area.
	Will more be coming, CBS News, wanted to know.
	This just in, actually.
	President Biden was just asked by our Weijia Jiang if Americans should expect more COVID restrictions, and he said, quote, in all probabilities.
	Another element there.
	So...
	Of course, we don't know if he was...
	They're out of control.
	They really are out of control.
	So let me see.
	We have...
	On the...
	Here, play some more of these open local coverage.
	Play the local coverage wrap is local.
	Officials are now urging local health authorities, even in areas without high or substantial transmission, to consider additional mitigation measures.
	That includes universal masking in some settings.
	The pace of new cases in the U.S. has nearly doubled in the last two weeks, and the Delta variant is largely to blame.
	Earlier this week, the head of the CDC said hospitalizations have surged past levels seen a year ago.
	Meanwhile, the pace of first dose vaccinations is continuing to climb.
	Scientists say that while the shots may not prevent infection or transmission 100% of the time, they do, quote, prevent more than 90% of severe disease.
	Michael George leads off our coverage.
	Masks went back on in Disneyland yesterday for anyone, vaccinated or not, who steps indoors at the amusement park.
	Walmart, the nation's largest employer, is taking it a step further, requiring employees to wear masks in high-infection areas, regardless of their vaccination status.
	And the president late yesterday told reporters there's likely more to come.
	And all probability, by the way, we had a good day yesterday.
	Almost a million people got vaccinated.
	About half a million of those people for the first time, for the second shot.
	And so I'm hopeful that people are beginning to realize how essential it is.
	That's what Dolores Armenta did.
	She got the shot.
	It was hard for me to decide as well.
	And Ruben Chavez got the shot too this week.
	Mentally, I feel like better.
	But even the vaccinated need to be careful.
	You know, so there's lots of these local stories, and we had one here from the Austin local station, and it works like this.
	If you are in the United States, you've probably seen this, but it may be done everywhere in the world.
	There's a woman lying in a hospital bed.
	Now, she doesn't have oxygen.
	She's able to talk.
	She is obese, obviously very obese.
	And the reporter is standing, interviewing her.
	She doesn't have her mask on.
	He doesn't have her mask on.
	But he has the microphone on a 10-foot pole.
	Because, you know, God forbid, you know, she's talking some spittle, enter his nose.
	And the moral of the story is always, I'm mad at myself.
	I didn't take the vaccine.
	It's unbelievable.
	Within these clips, we had one of those that was, but it was an old black man.
	Yeah.
	Well, let's just look at what's going on.
	Well, let's play part two.
	One of these clips has got a zinger in it.
	Okay, because it's really repetitive what these stations are doing, man.
	And I don't mean repetitive.
	It's repetitive from the last time they had this script.
	That's what I'm talking about.
	New cases here, up 766%.
	I'm sorry, that's not the right one.
	Rap.
	Dr.
	Anthony Fauci delivered more sobering news yesterday.
	That vaccinated people who do have a breakthrough infection are clearly capable of transmitting the infection to an uninfected person.
	And with the fast-spreading Delta variant, the risk of getting sick is playing out loud.
	I need every single force in this crowd.
	Hands up!
	One, two, five, and one, two...
	At this weekend's Lollapalooza Music Festival in Chicago, masks are not mandatory.
	But proof of vaccinations or a negative COVID test are required.
	I need a vaccination card in your hand!
	The mayor is letting the show go on.
	Despite warnings, it could easily be a super-spreader event.
	For example, more than a thousand COVID cases were reportedly linked to a Dutch music festival this month.
	About 20,000 people attended with protocols similar to Lollapalooza.
	Oh, blame it on the Dutch.
	Damn Dutch.
	All of their festivals have been canceled, so I'm not sure exactly which one he's referring to.
	I like the fact that Eric Clapton has said he will refuse to play in any venue where they're going to require.
	That discriminates.
	So millions of people went out all over France protesting the Passe Sanitaire, which is in effect as of August 9th.
	The same Chicago we were just listening to, a lot of the bars are now only serving the vaccinated, not a negative test.
	They just say, no, show me the vaccination, otherwise you don't get in.
	In Pakistan, the Sindh government, they've got a really cool way of doing it.
	So they give you four basic warnings if you violate the vaccination rule.
	So if you don't get vaccinated when you get the first notice, you get a warning that your mobile SIM card will be blocked.
	Second phase, you will be blocked of social media, including Facebook and WhatsApp.
	The third time that you don't get vaccinated, all of your outgoing calls will be blocked.
	And the fourth time, complete SIM blockage until vaccinated.
	Now those guys know how to do it.
	That's actually, that would work.
	In a heartbeat.
	Everybody, oh shit, man, you can come on my phone?
	No, no, no.
	You can't come for that.
	I think in the United States, just the Facebook banning a loan.
	Which, by the way, I think would be a really good way to at least start controlling some of the flow of illegal activity coming into the United States is to just say, yeah, okay, if you show up, it's okay, but we're going to Jab you with Pfizer 1, with Pfizer 2, and we're going to top it up with a J&J, and just for good measure, we'll give you the Pfizer booster.
	Then, then, then, then we'll talk to you.
	Man, people would not be coming.
	They'd be sitting in Mexico.
	Did you see the Mexican president?
	He did a speech, I think, Friday.
	And he said, we have to be very cautious about the pharmaceutical industry.
	And certainly what they want to do with children.
	I mean, that guy's cruising for death.
	Death, I tell you.
	Here, Mexican president.
	What does he say exactly?
	The president of Mexico in a press conference said, we need to be careful with Big Pharma because they want to keep selling more doses.
	And the health secretary saying there's no scientific evidence to recommend those vaccines to children.
	It's got a lot of traction in the medical press, but probably not in the actual.
	No, of course not.
	You can't play that.
	Why would you do that?
	No.
	I do have a clip of the France Riot update.
	Oh, good.
	Which has, if you notice, the kicker on there.
	Which is kind of the key to this clip.
	Bogus.
	This is CBS. Sorry.
	CBS. Demonstrators in France, Italy and Australia took to the streets this weekend protesting against vaccination passes and new lockdown measures.
	Elizabeth Palmer has the latest from London.
	Good morning.
	The idea of vaccine passports is gaining traction in Europe.
	Six countries now have some version of them, and France has the strictest rules.
	There, they'll be necessary to even enter many public places.
	And that kicked off violent demonstrations in Paris.
	Riot police tussled with protesters on Saturday, which was dramatic, but actually a sideshow, because most people have accepted the new rules.
	In line for the Eiffel Tower, some showed barcodes, others hard copies, and there was even on-site COVID testing, so anyone without a passport could get in, too.
	It was just a sideshow.
	What?!
	And hold on a second.
	And that's to prove it.
	She goes to the Eiffel Tower.
	Yeah.
	The Eiffel Tower is a tourist trap.
	That's not where the French go.
	The Parisians don't go to the Eiffel Tower.
	I spit on that Eiffel Tower.
	I am not going into it.
	I spit on that.
	It is crazy.
	Well, to think that that's bogus, I have two more clips if you want to hear them.
	The clip is more riots, more BS coverage.
	Part one.
	Yeah.
	There were also demonstrations this weekend in Australia.
	Police in Sydney ducked the flower pots, hurled by protesters furious about a new lockdown.
	Australia had kept COVID at bay by closing its borders, but the virus sneaked in anyway, and infections are on the rise.
	In Brazil, thousands of demonstrators hit the streets.
	But they're demanding more vaccinations and blame President Jair Bolsonaro's bungled COVID response for one of the highest death rates anywhere.
	Though currently Argentina's is even higher.
	I love how they just took the script, pulled out Trump, put in Bolsonaro for the bungled line.
	That's good.
	Repurposing.
	The kicker in there, that was part of it.
	But the real kicker in there is, if you listen to the end, she said Argentina's higher.
	Now, hold on a second.
	We have been told over and over and over again that Brazil's number two to us because of Bolsonaro's botching the job.
	So Brazil is number one.
	They're number one.
	And then at the next thing you hear at the end, she kicks into the...
	Oh, Argentina's a little higher.
	Highest death rates anywhere.
	Though currently Argentina...
	Wow, hold on.
	He actually says that.
	Hold on.
	...spons for one of the highest death rates anywhere.
	Though currently Argentina's is even higher.
	Good catch.
	I was stunned by that bull crap.
	So they're feeding us a bunch of nonsense and then they just ignore...
	Because it's again...
	Bolsonaro is Trump.
	They've got to get rid of him.
	So here's part two of this.
	More BS coverage.
	And it's actually sickening.
	Asia is also hard hit.
	The Olympics got underway in Tokyo with virtually no spectators.
	And dozens of athletes have had to pull out after testing positive.
	Indonesia is overtaking India as the current Asian hotspot.
	In Jakarta, families cued in the streets to buy oxygen.
	And with ICU beds full, victims often fall ill and die at home.
	But there are stories of remarkable COVID recoveries.
	How about a 102-year-old Nikolai Bogayev from Moscow?
	A World War II veteran who left hospital this week bursting with pride to have battled the virus and won.
	Hey, where was this from again?
	This is from CBS Weekend, or whatever it is, with John Dickerson, or usually the other woman.
	Who's the head of that thing?
	The woman who runs that, usually.
	Just as an aside, they prop up this old man, and then she says he left hospital.
	Yeah, I heard that too.
	I mean, I'm thinking, is this an American doing a report, or is this a Brit?
	No, she didn't sound American.
	Elizabeth Palmer, she better be.
	Listen, Madonna also has that stupid accent, and she's from Detroit, so that's what you do when you're in the milieu.
	I want to stay with Australia for a second, with Sydney specifically.
	We have a lot of contact with producers in Scandinavia, in the United Kingdom, in Europe, and in Australia, certainly.
	New South Wales Police have prohibited taxi and rideshare services from conveying passengers to the CBD from now until 3pm.
	However, police do say that essential workers, anyone requiring medical treatment, will be able to make their way to their destinations.
	And now, transport companies who fail to comply with the notice risk a maximum penalty of $500,000, while individuals face fines of up to $100,000.
	Are these people nuts?
	Well, I'd like to apologize to Australia.
	I made a mistake.
	I've made an error.
	I was convinced, and I even berated Australia, On a previous episode, that they're six months behind us.
	So you knew what was coming.
	You could get ready for this nonsense.
	Here's my error.
	This is our future.
	They're ahead of us six months.
	When we hit the cold season like they're in right now, and you get the flu going on, which, by the way, this is something that came across the transom.
	You know, so that RT-PCR tests, the CDC withdrew it and said, you know, we're looking for something else that can distinguish between influenza and COVID. But, and I have the FDA document here, from FDA.gov.
	The original PCR assay, the document is titled, The CDC 2019 Novel Coronavirus Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel.
	And here's how it starts.
	Listen carefully.
	Since no quantified virus isolates of the 2019 NCOV were available for CDC use at the time the test was developed and this study conducted, assays designed for detection of the 2019 RNA were tested with characterized stalks of in vitro transcribed full-length RNA of known titter spiked into a diluted...
	No, we heard...
	Oh, yeah, titer, you're right.
	I like saying titer.
	A known titer spiked into a diluent consisting of a suspension of human A549 cells and viral transport medium, blah, blah, blah.
	And this has been deconstructed and I have it in the show notes.
	What they in fact did is they took sequencing from influenza and then put in other pieces of genetic material that they found that they deemed to be part of COVID. And so now that test is going away, but it sounds like there was a lot wrong in the first place.
	Well...
	The test itself was never intended for this sort of thing.
	So there was a lot wrong and dimensionally wrong in every which way.
	I have two more.
	Jeez, man, you don't let me do anything.
	I'm just saying that...
	What are you going to do for the second half?
	You'll have nothing left.
	That's what I'm thinking.
	But the only reason is I've been looking for this one...
	You'll hear it when you hear it.
	Never mind.
	Go on.
	Finish.
	No, go ahead.
	I'm waiting because I'm going to move.
	No, this has to be the last clip before we take a break.
	Wow.
	Big setup.
	Big setup.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	The next thing I've learned.
	Now this is explained in great detail, which I cannot do.
	It's about the S1 spike proteins and the monokites, or the monocytes, whatever they're called.
	It's how the function, and so the COVID, the way I understand it, the virus itself is not really the problem, it's the spike proteins.
	And in particular, I think the S1 spike protein.
	So I've put this whole long thing into the show notes.
	I'd love, as you asked earlier, for some doctors to look at it.
	But they have a TLDR, a too long, didn't read, don't read, don't want to read, at the bottom.
	Buy some ivermectin and nicotine lozenges, and you can survive COVID-19 without a vaccine or any side effects.
	It is nicotine, and we talked about this a year and a half ago, remember?
	What?
	Yes.
	You remember the ACE? Oh, I vaguely remember.
	That's what you were all haughty about.
	I smoke, so I'm never going to get it.
	That's exactly how I said it.
	No, I said I vape.
	I vape nicotine.
	Yeah, and you felt that this was the key to success.
	Based on some information that we had back in the day.
	And now there's a medical...
	And that, by the way...
	Let me finish.
	Mm-hmm.
	That information just, poof, disappeared off the face of the earth.
	Well, of course it did.
	It has to disappear.
	But, and just as a side note, I read a news story on the last show about Altria slash Philip Morris, the cigarette people, who are rolling out the IQOS. You know, we had to get rid of all the vapes.
	But you know that they also acquired a couple other companies.
	They acquired Vectura.
	So they have a new slogan, Beyond Nicotine.
	Vectura actually makes medical devices, inhalers.
	And they're also acquiring a nicotine gum maker.
	I mean, before you know it, these guys could give Pfizer a run for their money.
	If it turns out to be true that nicotine clearly can keep...
	There's no reason I haven't received this, John.
	There's no reason that I haven't gotten COVID. There's plenty of reasons.
	I always have sniffles.
	It's always happening to me.
	I think Tina's always complaining about my vape wafting through her nose.
	I think I'm saving her life.
	Yeah, but you also are a D3 aficionado, which seems to have...
	It doesn't hurt, but that doesn't affect the S1 spike.
	So that's the difference there.
	Okay.
	I don't know.
	I mean, the S1 spike is on the virus, so the D3 prevents the virus from doing anything.
	Well, if you read through, again, I'm not going to debate it because I have no place doing it, nor do you probably, but someone will look at the show notes, it's under nicotine, and will tell us if there's any validity to it.
	I'll wind up then, since I don't have anything else.
	This is, I think, wishful thinking on your part.
	I don't care.
	I mean, but if I don't...
	I thought that...
	I thought you were...
	Yeah, now I think about your original...
	But there were stories about old smoking Asian dudes who weren't getting it.
	No, I'm not going to deny that there was...
	There was a lot of that.
	Yeah, this was all...
	It was all in the documentation and then it disappeared.
	Just poof.
	Gone.
	So I'd just like to...
	I'm saying I have two...
	Let's see.
	These are pretty quick.
	These are 30-second ads.
	I'd just like to remind us Of the promotion of the vaccinations.
	These are all Pfizer.
	I believe they're all Pfizer commercials.
	How this was sold to us.
	Because as media consumers...
	Look, I can't even remember what we played 69 episodes on this show.
	People don't remember what they saw, what they heard, what they learned, and certainly not how they were marketed to.
	COVID-19 has changed how we stomp the yard and feel the beat.
	Now it's time to take the first step that lets us get back to strolling instead of scrolling.
	Before we can safely come together, we need the facts.
	As COVID-19 vaccines become available, you may have questions.
	Should I get it?
	Is it free?
	It's okay to have questions.
	Now get the facts about COVID-19 vaccines at GetVaccineAnswers.org so you can make an informed decision for yourself and for your fam.
	So you know exactly what was it, GetVaccine.org or GetVaccineQuestions.org.
	It's been difficult because I hadn't been able to see my grandchildren.
	I can't wait to get back to a field trip for my school.
	Not having to think about putting on a I really can't wait to get back to life, really.
	I miss all my friends.
	I miss taking pictures in school.
	An expression on someone's face when you do something nice for them.
	COVID-19 vaccines are available, and they're the first step to safely getting back to things we miss most.
	Visit GetVaccineAnswers.org so you can make an informed decision about COVID-19 vaccines.
	These blanketed the airwaves, and this is clearly, these are targeted at black and brown Americans.
	Obviously.
	There's something.
	One of the kids says, I miss my friends and I miss taking pictures at school.
	Who misses taking pictures at school?
	All kids.
	These are very...
	Human resources today have an appendage and that is a smartphone.
	I should take the phone away from when they show up in the class.
	Two more.
	The COVID-19 vaccines can be our chance.
	To get back to our plans.
	Who we are.
	What we miss.
	To get back to each other.
	To life.
	But, it's okay to have questions.
	Like, how were the vaccines tested?
	In rigorous clinical trials among adults of diverse backgrounds.
	Can the vaccines give you COVID-19?
	You cannot get COVID-19 from a vaccine.
	Why should I get vaccinated?
	Protecting yourself also helps protect the people around you.
	So these were the promises that were made.
	Very, very clear from Big Pharma.
	Find the latest information at GetVaccineAnswers.org.
	So these were the promises.
	I can hug granny again, don't have to wear a mask, finally get back to normal, and yes, I can take pictures at school again.
	But there's more questions.
	You won't have to take your shoes off at the train station.
	That wasn't a part of this particular exercise, but it's just a search and replace in the script.
	I agree.
	The COVID-19 vaccines can be our chance for big pharmaceutical companies to clean up without any risk of liability or downside.
	And, as adults, we've been conditioned to just go along with it all, as we know it's pointless to question anything.
	But our children's spirits may not have yet been crushed, and they will have questions like...
	Oh, you're going to die.
	Eventually, yes, we will all die.
	Will it be from COVID-19?
	We are more likely to die of isopropyl alcohol poisoning than using too much hand sanitiser.
	How do I prevent my amygdala from exploding?
	Turn off the mainstream media and listen to No Agenda.
	You can also listen to Nick the Rat when you're old enough.
	Is it okay to steal a tank or blow up a government building with TNT? Yes.
	In Minecraft.
	Find answers to these questions and many others that you may have at youmightdonate.org.
	Sir Chris is back in case you hadn't noticed.
	He's locked down.
	He's got nothing to do.
	No gigs.
	Might as well do something for another agenda.
	Keep Australia locked down.
	You okay?
	You didn't make it?
	Yes, yes, yes.
	All right.
	I'm sorry.
	No, I do have one.
	I'm sorry.
	I have one final clip, but I don't have to play the whole thing before you go for your absolute kicker.
	And this is Dr.
	Drew.
	I had a number of clips, but, you know, we're already so long, so I'm not going to play them all.
	You can find them.
	They'll put them in the show notes.
	Dr.
	Drew is very angry about, you know, the medical discussion being censored.
	By the way, in Australia, the...
	The VAERS, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reaction Group, 64,000 members closed by face bag, of course.
	Oh, actually, I'm sorry.
	I need to play that one piece.
	This just came out this morning.
	It's RT, but I've heard the story before and it checks out.
	Who pays the paychecks of the fact-checkers?
	The vaccine fact-checkers at factcheck.org, who claim to be independent, are funded by an organisation that holds over $1.8 billion of stocks in a vaccine company and is run by a former director of the Centers for Disease Control.
	The fact-checking account responded to the accusations by making clear its funding sources.
	The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is one of the benefactors and holds billions in Johnson& Johnson stock.
	The Foundation's CEO is Richard Besser, who was a former acting director of the Centre for Disease Control.
	But factcheck.org claims there's no interference in its editorial decisions, and the Foundation's views aren't necessarily reflected in its decisions.
	But author and liberal studies expert Michael Reckdenwald believes such connections pose risks to the public.
	This is absolute collusion on the part of vaccine manufacturers having funding the fact-checkers on social media.
	So we're actually getting to the point where people's lives are being endangered.
	We've lost all confidence in the social media and our mainstream media entirely.
	Anything that comes into contradiction with the leftist agenda Is deemed misinformation.
	People are now not able to get information about what's best for their health, including the detriments of the vaccine.
	Any collusion?
	That checks out, that influence on factcheck.org, which of course is...
	Does every ex-CDC director become a board member of one of the big pharma companies?
	I guess so.
	Yes, or you become a high-ranking officer within them.
	How does this guy not get on the air more?
	Scott Gottlieb seems to own a spot on CBS. He does.
	He owns that channel right now.
	They're going to do, wait for it, $33 billion this year, Pfizer.
	That's their report.
	33?
	Gee.
	Are they trying to tell me something?
	But here's one adverse reaction I had not heard of.
	It's from the Johnson& Johnson vaccine, and it was told by Dr.
	Drew, the TV doctor.
	So he probably belongs in the Dirty Disinfo Dozen website.
	I worry about it.
	And to your point about the unnecessary medical procedures, I mean, the two ethic problems we've had in this country now are A, lack of informed consent, and then B, unnecessary medical procedures, of which I was a subject of unnecessary medical procedure.
	I took the J&J vaccine, so even though I knew my antibodies were through the roof, in fact, I'm checking them again on Wednesday, and I had a terrible reaction, including...
	Did Kelly tell you what happened to me when I got the J&J? Did I? No.
	I know that you're horrible already.
	No, no, no.
	I won't.
	So for people out there, the dreaded complication is a consumptive coagulopathy, your platelets aggregate, and you end up in a clot in the skull called the transverse sinus.
	And headache and vision changes are sort of part of the deal.
	But one of the other almost pathognomonic features is a spontaneous black eye, which I woke up with two days after the vaccine.
	And I thought, oh crap.
	And I had just had an eye lift.
	I thought he was just being sympathetic.
	She goes, looks like you're wearing mascara.
	I look in the mirror, I'm like, I have a full raccoon's eye.
	And it's like, I felt fine.
	It went fine.
	We sort of let it go.
	But man, that could have been something.
	Who the hell knows?
	Yeah, that was a little scary.
	And that was because of an unnecessary medical procedure that I took in order to get on an airplane, which is part of the deal these days.
	How about that?
	Black eye.
	Well, there's another one that came up in the conversation over dinner, because both Buzzkill Jr.
	and Jesse had had COVID. And it's called COVID poop.
	I'm on it.
	All right.
	How does it work?
	It's like a spongiform kind of poop, and you have it for days on end.
	Spongiform?
	Yeah, it's just like a kind of a, it's a different, it's a different, there's no description for it, except it's like a gooey, it's like a spongy poop.
	Koof poop.
	And there's also COVID toe, which is well documented.
	I've not heard about that.
	What does COVID toe look like?
	Just that one you can go on Google and type in COVID toe.
	Is it going to gross me out?
	And you'll see millions of pictures of COVID toe.
	And it's a horrible looking thing where your feet turn blue.
	Sometimes they're all bruised.
	See it?
	Yeah.
	Isn't that bad?
	Yeah.
	So I didn't hear about it.
	The black guy's a new one.
	That's good, isn't it?
	But that's from the vaccine, not from COVID. Oh, you get ready for your clip.
	Did I get two?
	It's a two-parter.
	That's good.
	You can do a two-parter.
	Hold on.
	I just wanted to say, from the legal front, because we've gotten a lot of questions from our producers, what can I do?
	My workplace wants to mandate...
	Now, we heard from OSHA previously.
	Now, the EEOC, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the body responsible for enforcing federal laws that prohibit job discrimination and harassment, has issued guidance regarding workplace policies created in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
	Here is the basic answer.
	May my employer require me to be vaccinated before returning to work?
	Yes.
	The EEOC has provided guidance indicating that employers can require their employees to receive the COVID-19 vaccine before returning to work in person.
	However, employers must still comply with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
	The American with Disabilities Act and the Ohio Civil Rights Act, in this case from this lawyer, which may exempt employees from prior vaccination mandates if they have a sincerely held religious belief or a disability that would prohibit vaccination.
	So notice that little, little line in there.
	Words matter.
	A sincerely held religious belief.
	Wow.
	How do you determine that?
	You don't.
	You just claim it.
	No, but it seems that legally you will have to prove that you are sincere.
	We have one of our producers.
	It's in one of the show notes.
	I think you can look it up with one of these search engines.
	One of the people who came in with the...
	With a hardcore religious exemption forms, and they'll back you up.
	Oh, yes, yes, yes.
	I got those forms.
	It's like, yeah, it's a, oh my goodness, I think I saved those.
	I'll see if I can put them in the show notes, because there were three different forms for exemption.
	And they were illegal.
	They hold this organization, and they'll back you up.
	Yeah, they were, yeah.
	So, you know, to go through all this trouble seems to me that you're sincere.
	So, the sincerity thing, I think, is easy.
	To go through the trouble of downloading some Word doc from a podcast website?
	You've got to be sincere.
	If you're doing that, you're sincere.
	You believe in some...
	Well, okay.
	Damn it.
	I was not planning on doing this one.
	Science as a religion.
	Dr.
	Malone again.
	This is the real problem.
	This is what has happened, I think.
	Or in this case, forget about what Pfizer's doing and virus, but people have given up on belief systems, on traditional religion.
	People apparently need to believe in something, and many have turned to science.
	You're dead on.
	And other people, really, deep intellectual thinkers have been pointing this out from the social science side, is that science has a tendency to go towards a religion.
	And we're seeing the consequences of that type of true believer groupthink that has been propagated in an amazing way across the whole world because of this interface between public policy, the interests of big pharma, and mass media, mainstream the interests of big pharma, and mass media, mainstream media, and big tech are all forcing this big lie, this groupthink on everybody all across the world.
	It's amazing.
	What we've got to do is get back to emphasizing treating patients as soon as...
	All right.
	So it's a religious experience for people.
	They love believing in it.
	They love believing in their Jesuses, their popes, like Fauci, their apostles, the doctors.
	I mean, it's all there.
	And I don't blame anybody.
	I'm not mad at anybody for thinking I'm stupid for not getting vaccinated.
	I understand you, brother.
	Yeah.
	I think we've talked about science as a religion, and global warming's a religion.
	Yeah, yeah.
	It's also science.
	They're off the scales.
	They're off the rails.
	The science is in.
	The science is in.
	Exactly.
	Okay, well, let's wrap this COVID segment with a couple of NPR reports.
	It's actually separated here, but one is COVID in ARC 1 NPR. Hutchinson has been taking this message to town halls across the state, begging Arkansans to get the shot.
	The state has one of the country's lowest vaccination rates.
	A few weeks back, Hutchinson set a modest goal of getting at least 50% vaccinated by the end of July.
	But the state is falling short of that goal by more than 100,000 people.
	There are plenty of vaccines available in the state, and plenty of folks who don't want them.
	I have grandchildren.
	I'm not going to take the vaccine.
	This is Debbie Reynolds.
	She's a local in Huber Springs.
	It's a lakeside retirement in a resort city in the Ozark foothills.
	She went to a town hall this week and found it super frustrating.
	How can I spread something to a person who's been vaccinated?
	They think we're that stupid.
	They treat you like you're just too dumb to make good decisions for your family.
	How many people do you see laying around on the sidewalks and in their yards dying of COVID? Nowhere.
	But people are dying in the hospitals, and the virus is spreading.
	Health officials are working hard to change people's minds with science.
	I'm glad you got this because I saw the articles, headlines about Arkansas, big problem, Arkansas.
	Yeah, Arkansas sent back 80,000 doses that expired.
	Oh, there's your problem.
	There's your problem.
	And so they sent these back.
	They sent the product back.
	Oh, that's a problem.
	They sent the product back.
	So this is kind of this Arkansas thing.
	It's interesting.
	But so here's to me is the kicker.
	This is COVID in Arkansas too.
	And I think this will be a good way to end it.
	They're out there sharing data about how masks and vaccines protect people from COVID and about the looming shortage in hospital beds.
	Colonel Robert Ader leads the state's vaccine distribution program.
	What started out as being a logistics and distribution kind of an exercise has turned out to be psychology.
	Ader says demand for the vaccines has actually gone up over 60% in the past three weeks.
	He says the governor's town hall meetings are encouraging people, and the Delta variant is scaring them.
	But he worries that it may not be enough.
	89% of the new virus cases are sequenced to the Delta variant.
	And so we have to get out there.
	And my biggest concern is we're going to be a month too late.
	And we're going to have a lot of people suffer because of it.
	So here's your vaccination card.
	You're getting Pfizer today.
	Back in Dumas, at the Dumas Family Pharmacy, owner Cheryl Stimson is giving out shots.
	You'll come back August 17th for your second vaccine.
	They said the second shot will get you a little ill.
	It may or may not.
	I think both ways.
	I trust you.
	You're my pharmacist.
	Michael Haynes says he's been feeling fine, but he's not taking any chances.
	Oh, man, it's getting pretty rough around here now, so I just came in just to get a vaccine.
	Is your life going to change after you get a vaccine at all?
	Yeah, once you get full of vaccines, you get a $20 scratch-off, ain't it?
	Next month, I'm going to get my scratch-off.
	Haynes wants a chance at winning the lottery.
	Oh, I love it.
	The contrast of the first lady going, they think we're dumb.
	This guy.
	It's so mean.
	These are also Americans, you evil shits in Arkansas.
	Geez.
	Well, this is NPR. They're the ones who had highlights.
	I mean, they're doing this.
	You're a bored journalist.
	You find some guy.
	Like I always said, it's an old theory.
	If you're a northerner, you're NPR, some sort of an elite, and you go down and report in the South, you find people that sound, well, I'm not a dumb shit like they said.
	You find those people and then you put them on the air because it just makes you feel good.
	And so you find a dumb woman and then a black guy who just wants to scratch off, free scratcher, and then you put them on the air.
	And the guys got the, you know, they don't even sound, they sound like they're very uneducated.
	Unbelievable.
	But that's what you do.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the COVID toe!
	Ladies and gentlemen, John C. Dvorak!
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curioso.
	In the morning, all ships and sea boots on the ground.
	Feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
	And in the morning to all of the trolls in the troll room.
	You can find them at trollroom.io.
	Hands up, trolls!
	Hands up!
	Let's count you.
	Let's see how many there are.
	They're scurrying.
	Ooh, look at them going around everywhere.
	They are scurrying.
	Well, I think the coverage is appreciated.
	2238.
	We're rocking it.
	We're like 238 above standard time.
	Yeah, it's about the same as it was Thursday.
	Thursday was the breakthrough number.
	Dynamite.
	Well, those are the trolls, and they do a lot.
	Well, of course, their main job is to live under a bridge and eat trash and troll the show, but they troll many shows.
	This is the No Agenda Stream, noagendastream.com.
	It's 24-7.
	There's lots of live shows, like Nick the Rack, you heard that earlier, from Sir Chris and Felix.
	By the way, Sir Chris's son, Sir Felix, he's starting to sound like a man now.
	He doesn't have that cute voice anymore.
	He does.
	He's kind of there.
	Thank you.
	That's trollroom.io.
	We operate...
	Have more kids.
	We operate on the Federated Network.
	That's how we like to communicate, where there's no deplatforming, no algorithms.
	It's just you and us, baby.
	You can follow John at John C. Dvorak at noagendasocial.com.
	That's a Mastodon Fediverse server.
	And I'm Adam at noagendasocial.com.
	I want you to follow us.
	A couple of postings happen.
	The Fediverse does its business and you'll be in like Flynn.
	And we'd like to thank Corrector Records for bringing us the artwork for episode 1368.
	We titled that one Heat Map.
	Hands down the winner.
	The Biden wipes.
	I think this could have been a Babylon Bee.
	That's how good it was.
	Oh yes, absolutely.
	It was top-notch.
	Now there was a lot of good stuff.
	As usual.
	But a couple of things that...
	Now, I think in general, if you do a pill of hydroxychloroquine and Pfizer, that's just asking for trouble.
	It also wasn't hilariously funny.
	What else did we have?
	There was a lot of stuff that was loaded with usables.
	Kenny Ben's Triple Threat, we liked a lot and we discussed, which is the first page down the bottom left, which was the Globe with the pandemic and COVID. That piece would have easily won.
	If...
	If he had the triple threat, it should have been gun violence instead of pandemic.
	Yeah, we were missing gun violence.
	Or gun violence instead of COVID. So you have the triple threat.
	They were different.
	But the way he has it with pandemic and COVID, it's the same thing.
	Where's the triple threat?
	It's only two.
	But the piece was dynamite.
	It would have been a winner.
	It was a nice piece, yeah.
	If he had put in gun violence, because all our clips indicated that they're trying to push together climate change and gun violence and COVID into the same bucket.
	Yeah.
	What else was there?
	The heat map.
	I thought the CDC flip-flops was cute on the next page, but we both agreed it was not quite for the album art.
	But holy crap, artists, you really bring the value every single show.
	Anyone can check out all of this art at noagendaartgenerator.com.
	It's well worth it.
	A lot of this also goes on to pieces over at NoAgendaShop.com.
	They split the money with the artists and they donate to the show, so it's otherwise completely independent, which we love.
	Keep it going that way.
	We have no meetings.
	And anyone can participate, and we critique you with great love.
	And you can see these flipping by in our chapters, thanks to Dreb Scott, who always does that for the No Agenda show.
	There's about 30 different chapters, uses different art from anywhere and everywhere, but a lot from the art generator.
	Excuse me.
	You sound terrible.
	Where's your cough button?
	It's on the floor.
	There is a new iOS Podcasting 2.0 app available, which I want everyone who is on iOS.
	It's in the actual app store.
	This is a big one, John, for Podcasting 2.0.
	It's very difficult to get through Apple's...
	It's the Fountain app.
	You can find it at fountain.fm or directly in the iOS app store.
	And congratulations to the team over there, which is all but two guys.
	I love that.
	And bringing new experiences to podcasting, particularly this one.
	Now let's thank some of our executive producers and associate executive producers for episode 1369, who brought us the treasure of the three Ts.
	Yeah, we started off with a check that came in the mail from Kim Vacheron, who will be damed.
	Nice.
	And she's in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
	Right, where 74% of all vaccinated people have COVID. It is.
	It's true.
	74%.
	Is that true?
	Yeah, there's a cluster.
	There's a cluster that everyone's flipping out about.
	Oh, I didn't know that.
	A breakthrough cluster.
	Yeah, it is.
	I think that's even what they called it, a breakthrough cluster.
	Breakthrough cluster.
	Interesting.
	In Foxborough.
	In the morning, John Adams, she writes, thank you for keeping me sane through this pathetic COVID days.
	Your excellent deconstruction is a blessing to my amygdala and ultimately to those around me.
	It has been a while since my last donation.
	So in honor of my upcoming 33rd wedding anniversary on August 13th...
	And they never had a fight!
	On August 8th is Mimi and I's 33rd wedding anniversary.
	Really?
	Wow.
	What are you guys going to do?
	I think you should call it quits.
	33 is a great, great, good job.
	Okay.
	I'll go over that with your suggestion with her and see what she says.
	Just call it quits.
	Why not?
	Good run, everybody.
	I think it's only appropriate for my husband to be able to say he is more...
	He's now married to a dame.
	Yeah.
	I'm enclosing this donation of $750, blah, blah, blah, to make up for my douchebaggery of late and to...
	Finally, treat myself to a seat at the round table.
	I'd like to put some dark chocolate and filthy Hendrix martini.
	That's dirtier than dirty, I guess.
	By the way, if you like Hendrix, try Tank 10 from Tankery.
	Tank 10, you'll love it.
	If you like Hendrix, you'll love Tank 10.
	With blue cheese olives and please call me Dame Kim.
	Warrior for Truth in Massachusetts.
	I don't know if she's listed as Warrior for Truth in Massachusetts on that list.
	Lastly, it would be much appreciated if you would play 33 is the magic number because it has truly been magical being married to my amazing husband for 33 years.
	I also throw in an R2D2 Karma for our three fantastic adult sons.
	Wow.
	Always keep their amygdala small thanks to the best podcast in the universe.
	Thank you again.
	Love and lit.
	Kim Vacheron.
	That's the magic number.
	It's the magic number.
	You've got...
	Karma.
	And by the way, I think Kim Vacheron's a great name for a fictional character.
	As svelte as ever, Kim Vacheron entered the room, her smoking hot figure silhouetted against the bare lightbulb.
	Hmm.
	5-55-55.
	It's 5-5.
	It's 5x5.
	Anonymous sends us this.
	And I haven't donated for a while.
	I'm one of the original Rogan podcast converts, and I haven't missed an episode of the show.
	So I figured it was time to donate with some recent proceeds from a cash-out refinance on one of my investment properties, which is tax-free, by the way.
	No jingles, no karma.
	I figured I would give you a boots on the ground report.
	I work in the offshore oil and gas industry in the Gulf of Mexico and have been for the past years now.
	That's a tough job.
	That's no joke, offshore.
	You get paid well.
	You get extremely well.
	That's why people do it.
	We recently had an outbreak of COVID or flu on the platform.
	I work on some people randomly start coming down with the normal flu-like symptoms after being offshore for over a week every day.
	We'd have to send someone in with some flu-like symptoms.
	And when they got home, they would test positive.
	One of them was vaccinated.
	I am 29.
	I run and I run every day and take care of myself.
	When I got home, I started experiencing some light congestion and figured I would go and buy a quick do-it-yourself Walmart test and test it positive.
	But I only ever had some minor head congestion, so I just upped my vitamin D and zinc, which I already take, and eventually it went away.
	By the way, I texted my cousin, who was a doctor, and asked, what should I take?
	And he just said, take vitamin C, D, zinc, and you'll be fine.
	Fast forward two weeks, and it's time to go back to work.
	And we start back testing again.
	We used to test every time before coming to work with a 15-minute no swab test, but nobody ever tested positive, even last year at the height of the fear-mongering.
	So management decided to stop it because it was running up an insane tab and every week to test a bunch of people.
	Well, this time we went with a company that does the PCR test.
	Well, I ended up testing positive along with a couple other people, all with no symptoms, so I had to turn around and go home after explaining to my supervisor that there's no way I'm sick since I ran 27 miles the day before.
	He went off the CDC guidelines which says you can be around others after 10 days after being sick or after 24 hours of no fever and come back to work in a couple of days.
	He said everyone is going to get the vaccine or everybody's going to get sick.
	I work with a lot of Republicans since I work in the apparent racist South.
	Yep.
	And they all were first in line to get the shot, which I was actually surprised by.
	I absolutely refuse to get the shot, but I suspect we won't be doing this testing much longer since it costs over $200 for each test and you have to pay $600 for their mobile lab and the guys doing the nasal swabs get paid $75 an hour.
	My company spent over $16,000 for one day testing.
	It's a complete scam.
	John, sorry for the long note.
	That was a long note, but it was a good note.
	Well worth it, yes.
	Well, we have another good note coming up.
	Oh, he's no jingles, no karma.
	No jingles, no karma.
	Dave Fugizotto.
	Yay!
	He's back!
	Reunited, and it feels so good.
	3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
	My first donation since my triumphant repatriation to the heartland.
	My apologies for the delay.
	It's been lovely reconnecting with the family.
	Alas, though...
	I had troubling dreams last Monday night, dreams of fever and chills and COVID and oh great, now I have to tell all those friends I was hanging out with that I exposed myself to them.
	And then also with the COVID. And worst of all, I have to tell Spencer I can't make the meet-up.
	Which was in his honor.
	It was a meet-up to welcome him home.
	We have a meet-up report with the Duke himself coming up when we do the meet-ups.
	Skip forward to today when I got my positive COVID test back.
	Dreams really do come true.
	Sad face emoji.
	So, it looks like the great no-agenda meet-up celebrating my Thorin...
	Oak and Shield-like return, my fellow LOTR nerds get it, will be a virtual event for me and my dames.
	As I manage, by the way, to catch one of the ultra-rare, probably never going to happen to you, so get your shot breakthrough cases of COVID. I got the Pfizer jab back in January in anticipation of one of the many thwarted attempts to get home.
	So I guess I'm another data point for the six months of protection.
	That's rare!
	Hope my survival renders a booster unnecessary.
	I'm glad I didn't dream that.
	I'm glad I didn't dream that I was a ferret.
	Anyhow, some health karma please for me, my folks, my mill, and of course...
	Mother-in-law.
	Mother-in-law.
	And of course, my lovely dames.
	And to reminisce on the previous We're All Gonna Die diseases, can I please request an Ebola jingle and the extended dance mix, aka long form of Zika, Zika, Zika.
	All these we've forgotten about by now.
	COVID gets to zero stars.
	Don't get any on you.
	Cheers and thank you for your courage.
	Yeah, and I listened to that meetup report.
	He sounds pretty sick.
	I mean, just really congested, like he has the flu.
	But, you know, that was very sad.
	Everyone was ready for him and...
	I got an email way too late that they wanted to...
	He was Skyping in or something and they wanted to get you or me on or both of us on.
	I missed it, unfortunately.
	But feel better, Sir Dave Fugizotto, Duke of America's heartland and the Arabian Peninsula.
	Bon is back in town.
	May I have your attention, please?
	Oh, Zika.
	Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika.
	Little baby.
	With a little bitty head.
	With a baby with a small head.
	We're going to have to make a little head.
	You watch.
	Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika.
	Yeah.
	Where's the money?
	1.9 billion dollars.
	Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika.
	Yeah.
	Where's the money?
	Let's have it now.
	Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika.
	Yeah.
	Where's the money?
	Small heads are coming.
	You're going to do it.
	You watch.
	We're going to have a problem.
	You've got karma.
	Remember that?
	When there was billions of dollars and the threat was children are being born with small heads.
	Where did the small-headed people go?
	Where did they go?
	I have no idea.
	They seemed to have poof.
	They had just gone.
	Sir Ichabod of the Bike Path in Lake Forest Park, Washington, 333.34.
	It's $33.1 for the last 100 shows.
	No note, just jingles.
	Oh, he wants just jingles.
	He wants AOC, The Revolution, and Fear is Freedom, and Obama, A-Team.
	Oh, crikey, I haven't heard that one in a while.
	Okay, let's roll these out.
	That is Sir Ichabod of the Bike Path, Gorbel, Lake Forest Park, Washington.
	Who here is ready for the revolution?
	Fear is freedom.
	Subjugation is liberation.
	Contradiction is truth.
	Those are the facts of this world, and you will all surrender to them.
	You pigs in human clothing!
	There's a need for a rescue mission.
	When the world is threatened, the world needs help, it calls on America.
	And that's the story.
	It's like an oldies but goody day.
	It is, totally.
	I love it.
	Manuel Obando is next on the list from Miami Lakes, Florida, 333.33.
	He says, ITM, check your email for note, which of course where he could have put the note because he got this in there, but there's no note with Obando, with Manuel, and there's no note that says donation from a Manuel Obando.
	I would like to take a moment to reiterate that we do have some communication protocols in general.
	And over the past three weeks, my email inbox has gotten extremely full.
	It's about three times what it typically was before we moved.
	And it's also a lot of people are sending in their own experiences, notes, and information.
	The subject line is extremely important.
	If you see something funny on Twitter, you can just do at Adam Curry and maybe you'll have a comment, which is helpful.
	But it's really just click a link and see what it is.
	With email, you are ruining my day when you say, check it out!
	And then just have a link to some Twitter thing.
	Like, what a waste of my time and your time, quite honestly.
	Please be descriptive in your subject line, particularly if it comes down to donations, put in the term donation.
	It's sad that we still have to remind people to do this, but my goodness, do you get this?
	This is one line, the one word subject.
	Wow!
	And I'm supposed to open that.
	By the way, I want to point this out.
	You have been complaining about this specific topic, not about the donation part.
	No.
	This specific topic for at least eight years.
	Yes, and I'll add something to it.
	So do you think it's going to do any good to continue this complaining?
	Yes, it helps.
	It's not complaining, thank you.
	It's a reminder.
	It's just a reset.
	And I will say one other thing.
	If you think, oh, he's probably already...
	So this is the opposite of...
	There's a different side of it.
	He probably already had this.
	I don't need to send it to him.
	That is death of the show.
	If there's something you feel needs to be sent, send it.
	If you think that we've seen it, you might be wrong.
	As you listen to today's show, there's two or three items that Adam brought up I knew nothing of.
	So, and if you do the subject line appropriately, then I probably won't have to open your message if I already know what the story is.
	But I usually do anyway, but let's just, it's all worked together.
	It's just a producer note.
	So why are you getting so much email that you're inundated?
	It's three times as much.
	Usually, after all my filtering, you know, I've got, oh, I filter out a lot of stuff.
	Just because you moved?
	No, no, that's just the timeline.
	That's just when I recognize it.
	I think because of the bull crap that's going on in the world.
	Listen, we have lawyers, doctors, lab technicians.
	We have a lot of people reaching out to us.
	We have very interesting people who produce this podcast.
	So I need to read everything they're saying, but it just seems like it's more than...
	No, it is.
	It's three times as much.
	Sir Mark, Duke of Japan, the Japan Sea and all the disputed islands, sends the magic numbers of 33333.
	Good to hear from Sir Mark.
	Adam and John, along with good times and good laughs, there have to be some sad times too.
	We are just in one of those moments as Dame Astrid, and we all know this is the famous duo, our producers from Japan, Sir Mark and Dame Astrid, Dame Astrid has just lost her wonderful father, Klaus.
	Thankfully, she was with him in Italy at the time.
	As you can imagine, he was a great man and is going to be missed by many, especially on Lago Maggiore, where he was a sailing legend, and at the Ferrari Club, which he drove to only a few weeks ago to watch a Formula One race.
	His spirit lives on in Astrid, and rather than sending flowers, I thought it would be much more appropriate to send a donation to you, which I know will put a big smile on her face.
	We will miss you, Mr.
	Klein.
	We will all pass on your good wishes to you, like you passed them on to us after every phone call you made to Dame Astrid.
	No jingles, just a few moments of reflection, then lots of karma, love and lit, Sir Mark, Duke of Japan, Japan Sea, and all the disputed islands.
	And by the way, he is also an actual MBE in the United Kingdom.
	I'm very sorry to hear that, Dame Astrid, but I'm very happy that she was there to be with her father and her family.
	You've got karma.
	Yes, our condolences.
	Richard Koenig in Waukegan, Illinois.
	333.33.
	During my 33rd year, another 33 year with the company, they decided to move operations from Illinois to North Carolina later this year.
	A better place to live, I might add, but it depends on where you are.
	Where is it, Waukegan?
	South Carolina is probably more fun.
	No offense to the producers in North Carolina, but I've decided to stay here.
	I'm going to need the executive producer credit to pad my resume.
	Hey, hey, there's nothing wrong with it.
	By the way, smart move.
	Yeah, I agree.
	And Jobs Karma would be nice.
	Birthday shout-out to me on Monday, August 2nd.
	Shingles, living the mac and cheese life.
	Hello.
	Hello, kettle.
	This is the pot calling and real news.
	Hey, hey.
	Mac and cheese.
	Hello, kettle?
	This is the pot calling.
	And now, back to real things.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	Why don't you do this one, John, and I'll get the next one.
	Carlos Guerrero.
	That's it.
	Carlos Guerrero.
	3-16-08.
	Bought a house in Missouri.
	The kids needed a backyard in case the simulation decides to do another lockdown.
	Job karma, please.
	Needed.
	We got it for you.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	He finished with the words, short note equals love.
	Yes, yes.
	Christopher Flynn, 282.21, our first associate executive producer for today's episode from Oakdale, Connecticut.
	And he wants Obama, two words, predator drones, O'Biden's ISIS in America.
	In the morning, Adam, John, fellow producers and slaves of Gitmo Nation.
	I'm making this donation in celebration of my daughter's second birthday, Clara Jane.
	It's truly a joy and a blessing to be your father.
	I swear I will give everything I have and I am to protect you from true diseases which ail this world.
	Any amount of discomfort and sacrifice is worth ensuring your ability to grow from the wonderful little girl you are into the remarkable woman I know you are destined to become.
	Can I please get some good birthday party weather karma?
	And for jingles, as he just discussed, as a straight white male with dissident politics, I have been identified as the nation's greatest threat.
	However, I don't feel equipped to fulfill my designated role of white supremacist terrorist without my spook-furnished Toyota Hilux.
	If the feds listening could speed up delivery, we can take this show on the road.
	Thanks, and John, stay safe.
	That's from Christopher Flynn.
	I have two words for you.
	Predator drones.
	You will never see it coming.
	We will follow them to the gates of hell.
	ISIS. You've got karma.
	James Neff in Hanover, Pennsylvania.
	$249 switcheroo.
	Please credit my hot AF wife.
	A.K.A. the red-headed brewer on No Agenda Social.
	No Agenda Show, I think.
	Oh, oh, that's her No Agenda Social.
	Got it.
	I got it.
	I got it.
	Yep.
	With the associate executive producership and add her to the birthday list for August 1st.
	That's today.
	No jingles but R2D2 Karma, please.
	Is today the first?
	Today's the first.
	Bunny, bunny, rabbit, rabbit.
	What?
	What?
	No jingles, but R2D2 Karma, please.
	73's N3JLN. It's supposedly good luck to say rabbit, rabbit, or bunny, bunny on the first day of the month.
	In what world?
	I've been doing this on the show for 13, maybe 14 years.
	Well, I'm glad I finally picked up on it.
	You've got...
	Rabbit, rabbit, bunny, bunny?
	No, it's either...
	I grew up saying bunny, bunny.
	That's what my mom taught me.
	But I've heard pretty...
	The British colonies, I think, say rabbit, rabbit.
	Ronald J. Rau, R-A-U, from Port St.
	Lucie, Florida.
	What about Raymond Grill?
	I'm just skipping over him.
	There's so much yellow here, that's why I couldn't differentiate.
	It happens to me, too.
	RaymondGrill222.69 from Dover, Florida.
	What are the chances?
	Two Floridas above each other.
	Thanks for all you do.
	Had to donate as I was going to a meet-up and wanted to make sure I wasn't a douchebag.
	De-douching, por favor.
	We're now not a douchebag.
	My, yes, exactly.
	My donation is my birthday, which is 22269.
	Okay, oh, that's not the number.
	It's just, it is your birthday.
	Got it.
	Please add me to the birthday list.
	You're on it.
	You two keep me sane in this insane world.
	Looking forward to becoming a knight.
	And please just give karma for all.
	You've got karma.
	Last on the list is Ronald J. Rau.
	In Port St.
	Lucie, Florida, as...
	As mentioned.
	Birthday donation for my smoking hot wife, Robin, on 731.
	She is my sunshine and my everything.
	Please de-douche her.
	You've been de-douched.
	Coincidence, I think...
	This is what he wants for jingles.
	Coincidence, I think not.
	F-cancer.
	Normal karma.
	We love the show.
	Thank you, Ron.
	Rao rhymes with cow.
	Ha!
	Coincidence?
	I think not!
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	That wraps it up, I think.
	I think you wanted an F cancer in there.
	Oh, I'm so sorry.
	I'm so sorry.
	I took a jobs for a...
	Whoa!
	Reset!
	You've got...
	I corrected it with a goat.
	I think that'll be okay.
	Ah, probably.
	Yes, goat correction is always good.
	I've heard that.
	Always good, always good.
	Well, we want to thank all these folks for being executive, associate executive producers for show 1369.
	Indeed, it is.
	And it's funny, I'm looking down at the list, there's only one person that came in with 6969 as a donation.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah.
	Curious.
	We could have thought of that ourselves.
	Oh, well.
	Eh, we already had things going on.
	We do.
	Thank you to these producers, executive producers and associate executive producers.
	These are real credits.
	You heard it.
	It's used to, I wouldn't say, pad the resume.
	I mean, that's something you could actually top the resume off with.
	It's quite impressive.
	People like that.
	It works.
	And if there's any question, by the way, you can always contact us.
	We will gladly vouch for you if you're looking for employment and there's questions about your validity of your producership.
	But also look on IMDB. There's lots of real official producers who have these credits.
	And we appreciate it.
	We'll be thanking more people during our second break.
	And want to remind you that anybody can participate in producing this show, especially this portion, is quite easy.
	Please go to...
	Thank you again for your time, your talent, and treasure for producing episode 1369.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Order! Order!
	Shut up, slave!
	Shut up, slave!
	You know, I ran into an interesting interview with Sridhar Ramaswamy.
	Sridhar Ramaswamy was, I think he was the chief revenue officer at Google for search and for YouTube.
	And the reason why I was listening to this interview is because he's the guy that left Google and has started this search engine called Neva, N-E-E-V-A, neva.com, and you pay for it.
	Now, you get the first three months free or whatever, but it's $4.95 a month, and he and a number...
	So whenever this guy's popping up, I'm not going to start trusting people right away.
	I really want to see how they operate, how they function.
	But also, the search engine I like a lot because it's not gamed like Google.
	You can actually find a list of the best weed whackers, which would be your test.
	Did you do that test with Neva ever?
	No, I did not.
	I should have.
	You should do that.
	So, now, of course, he was on the Sway podcast from the New York Times, which was an added bonus for me because I wanted to hear the guy, and it was also a hate listen at the same time for Kara Swisher, but I can't really hate her on this show.
	The one with Scott Galloway is different.
	But because we just did our donations, the value-for-value model that we pioneered, we did for very specific reasons.
	And I would say the top of our list almost 14 years ago that we did not want to do advertisements is we hate meetings with advertisers.
	Would you say that's fair?
	That was one of the main...
	We both have different reasons.
	I have my reasons and you have your reasons.
	They just happen to coincide.
	Did I lose you?
	Your reason is the meeting, as you used to, I'm going to say what you used to always say, I hate giving blowjobs to advertisers, was your exact quote.
	Yes, well, I was trying to clean it up and call it a meeting, but okay.
	It's just because it's a meeting behind the gas station.
	Yes, I don't like that, but also you can't really discuss the things that we discuss.
	And I have asserted since the so-called cancel culture started, which, you know, as you've probably heard, cancel culture doesn't exist.
	It doesn't exist.
	Bullshit.
	Right, exactly.
	But this particular piece, this two-minute piece of this guy, shows that the thesis that canceling, deplatforming, demonetizing was, has been, and always will be for Google about the advertisers.
	Now...
	Has this mechanism been leveraged by political parties and people who want to get their way?
	Yes, totally, and it's very easy to do.
	You just get a whole bunch of people together, you only need a whole bunch, maybe ten, and you all start posting on Twitter and Facebook that This, you know, a show is, I'll give you an example.
	Joe Rogan's a horrible podcast.
	He's a fascist.
	He's racist.
	He's transphobic.
	You got to get him off the air.
	And if he had advertisements running next to YouTube, which he did back in the day, YouTube would be very quickly inclined to remove the advertiser from the equation.
	That's called deplatforming.
	So, I mean, demonetizing.
	But here's the interesting thing.
	It's actually not demonetizing the YouTuber.
	It's protecting the advertiser.
	And if it gets really too bad, then we've got to get you off.
	And that's where this mechanism with the advertising has been leveraged to the hilt.
	And that's why everyone's in this quagmire, kind of in irons.
	We can't go left, we can't go right.
	So this guy talks about why he left Google, about the advertising, and I think it's very eye-opening to hear someone from Google speak like this about what's really going on.
	So, you left shortly after the 2017 controversy where YouTube videos of exploited children were running alongside ads.
	Was there something that happened?
	Is the timing a coincidence?
	Or did that inspire your ex?
	Did you just go, enough of this.
	I'm making nuclear weapons and I don't want to.
	Or whatever.
	You know what I mean?
	There's a lot of people that have those moments.
	What?
	Was there a moment for you?
	Just let it go.
	Jeez.
	Yeah, I know.
	Well, she calls it, just let it flow over you.
	Just go, enough of this.
	I'm making nuclear weapons and I don't want to, or whatever.
	You know what I mean?
	There's a lot of people that have those moments.
	Was there a moment for you?
	For me, 100%.
	Those were the things that, first of all, convinced me that I didn't want to work on ads anymore.
	When we did...
	Ads on Google Search, or even when I was running the display ad ecosystem, we were very clear that being able to run ads on these platforms was a privilege.
	For example, we had a controversy around substance abuse treatments where Google Search wasn't able to tell who good players versus not-so-good players was.
	We just withdrew from the area and said, we need to figure this out.
	We're just not going to show any ads.
	And search...
	It was big enough and powerful enough that we could make a decision like this and actually move forward without a massive controversy.
	What was foundationally different about the YouTube ecosystem was the role that creators played.
	For the longest time, YouTube took this attitude of being able to say, whatever you felt like on YouTube, it was an open platform.
	So they gave the illusion, like a lot of social media platforms do, that...
	Mm-hmm.
	And I was dumbfounded by this.
	I was like, really?
	Like, your ability to monetize content on a platform is akin to the government guaranteeing free speech for you?
	But that's the world that Google existed in.
	This may change very hard.
	We had a set of advertisers that said, I want no part of being next to bad content on YouTube.
	And we had a set of creators that went, what do you mean we can't say whatever we feel like?
	Just because you find it objectionable, should we not be able to say it?
	It became an impossible problem to solve.
	And that was part of the conflict for advertising because we were seen as supporting all kinds of actors, some of whom were very disreputable.
	And to be the head of the team that was supporting monetization was just not something that I was comfortable with.
	That combined with the fact that I had been there for 15 years just made me say, okay, time to press the reset button.
	Time to start over.
	Advertising is censorship.
	There it is.
	I find that very enlightening to hear that from him.
	Yeah.
	Well, he's not back to...
	He's still not...
	Yeah.
	He's doing a search engine.
	Yeah, but he's doing a search engine that you pay for.
	There's no tracking or no sale of your data, no advertising, just none of that.
	And it feels good.
	I mean, I'm not completely 100% convinced yet, but it feels pretty good.
	The results are great.
	I'm just saying you'll feel about, am I really not being tracked?
	I'm looking at all kinds of stuff.
	Yeah, it's hard to believe.
	But there it is.
	They didn't care.
	Google didn't care what you said until the advertisers cared.
	And that's the problem.
	That is the entire problem.
	It's called brand safe.
	Oh my God, I forgot.
	We used to talk about that all the time.
	Yeah, we had a PC Magazine.
	We had appeals to brand...
	The audience was brand specifiers.
	And so it was a little different because you could tell the advertiser that...
	Because the advertiser was actually the customer and we were selling...
	Brand specifiers to the...
	And they were the ones that, you want these guys?
	It's a brand specifier.
	A lot of people that have never been in the magazine business don't understand some of the specifics of doing special interest publishing.
	And one of the things is you want to create a very, very specific audience that you can identify almost like you could You know them as an individual person, so there'd be always some newbie that would come into the offices, some new guy, even an editor, who would come in and they'd suggest that, why don't we have more articles for beginners?
	Get him out of here!
	Pretty much.
	What I found super interesting, this guy is still not really...
	By the way, this is exactly how they think within Silicon Valley.
	You heard him say, who do these creators think they are?
	That they get to monetize.
	Who do you think you are?
	You are literally, this guy's an ex-Googler and he still is smoking the crack pipe and he's saying, you know, you really are here at the good graces of us, so shut up.
	Well, I understand that completely because if you're running the platform, you are giving them free...
	I mean, video is not cheap to produce and distribute on your own.
	So you're giving somebody, okay, we're going to give you this platform.
	It's going to be free to you.
	In fact, you can even make money by putting your stuff onto our platform.
	It's pretty much, you know, if you're the guy making that statement and somebody, okay, I'll do that, you can see the relationship's a little skewed right at the start.
	And even when we were completely open about it at Podshow slash Mevio, it was always an issue.
	It was always a problem.
	Who's getting the advertising?
	Who's not getting the advertising?
	Oh, you're monetizing my show.
	It's a never-ending story because the independent nature of podcasting was always independent.
	And so then the rules, that doesn't work.
	It doesn't work that way.
	Complaining is built in.
	Yes, it's built in.
	It's actually built into the model.
	Yeah, it's built in.
	If you're a podcaster, you're a complainer.
	I have a couple of Jill...
	I got the Jill Biden clip that went around everyone's talking about.
	Okay.
	This is the Jill Biden pandemic comments.
	Now, in a lot of ways, the vaccines feel like a miracle.
	And they were rolled out in record time, you know, and they've worked much better than we'd hoped.
	But still, and I'm sure a lot of you hear this, there's a lot of misinformation out there.
	And people have a lot of questions.
	And a lot of times, and maybe this has happened to you, people come up to you and they ask you like, hey Jill, is it safe?
	You know, was it created too fast?
	Was it tested enough?
	Now, as a teacher and as a mom and as a nana, you know, I wanted to be able to give people the best answers I could.
	So I asked some of the experts.
	I mean, you guys are the experts.
	And I was surprised to learn that, you know, while these vaccines might be new, the technology behind them really isn't new at all.
	You know, scientists have been studying similar viruses and working on this type of vaccine for decades.
	And many of you probably already know this.
	So when this pandemic started, they already had a pandemic ready to go.
	This has been around, though, this clip, hasn't it?
	Or is it resurfacing?
	I don't know.
	That's resurfaced.
	I think it's resurfacing, yeah.
	But it's a...
	That was in context.
	And if you listen to the...
	I got the end, the 15-second end kicker to it.
	To show that she never...
	It wasn't a flub.
	No.
	They had a pandemic ready to go.
	They already had a pandemic ready to go.
	So I'm here today to ask all the people who can hear my voice, who can see my face, to get your shot.
	Did she also mention in these 20 years that scientists have been studying these types of vaccines, as she said, about the 600 people in the Philippines, the children who died?
	Did she mention that at any point, that that was part of the study?
	You know, maybe somewhere.
	I didn't hear it.
	Yeah, right.
	Did she also mention, or did anyone ask her or say any, or has she ever been asked about the fact that, which Biden, you know, Joe mentioned to about the 20, oh, it's been, we've been doing this for 20 years.
	Okay, you've been doing it for 20 years.
	How come you can't get this FDA approved then?
	After 20 years, you can't get it FDA approved.
	According to...
	And they're still stalling on it, by the way.
	Yeah, Dr.
	Malone says it's never going to happen.
	Hey, I said it's never going to happen.
	Yeah, I know.
	But are you Dr.
	Dvorak?
	I'm not Dr.
	Malone.
	I'm Harris Dr.
	Dvorak.
	Stay safe, hair doctor!
	Yes, well, you know, there's Dr.
	Jill Biden.
	I trust her.
	Now, I have a couple of clips from the archives.
	Well, can we wait then?
	Because I've got some other current stuff before we start going back.
	Okay, I'm fine with that.
	I have to go to the archives because my machine crashed out on me.
	Oh, shoot.
	Were you able to fix it on a different machine now?
	I'm on the backup machine, which turns out they have a bunch of archives on it.
	Hey, what's this?
	It's like finding a sandwich.
	Like, oh, mmm.
	Finally got something to eat.
	I found my 2017 photos.
	Oh, that's actually kind of cool.
	You'd like that.
	Yeah, there was something really big happening, and I had been following this a little bit.
	But it really came to a head yesterday.
	It started on Friday.
	And this is the eviction moratorium.
	Oh yes, this is actually good.
	And I dove into this.
	I went pretty deep.
	But here is the basic news story.
	Everyone kind of repeated this.
	And the AOC tried to get in on it, but she didn't really get any traction.
	But Cori Bush...
	She really got all the media attention and will continue, I believe, as she's sleeping on the steps of the Capitol.
	And here's a report from ABC Nightly News, and then I'll see if I can deconstruct what's going on.
	Tonight, millions of Americans are facing possible eviction, with a federal moratorium set to expire at midnight.
	The House failed to pass an extension of the CDC's eviction freeze.
	I see the tears in your eyes.
	This is personal for you.
	Yes.
	Yes, it's personal for me.
	I lived in a car.
	I lived out of a car with two babies and my partner.
	I know what that's like.
	Congresswoman Cori Bush camping out on the steps of the Capitol to make her point.
	But lawmakers now on a six-week recess.
	House Democrats are now hoping for a miracle in the Senate, which is still in session.
	We are only hours away from a fully preventable housing crisis.
	Congress has already set aside $47 billion to help tenants and landlords, but only $3 billion has been doled out.
	The backlog frustrating for people like Jessica in Illinois.
	My application has been in, but it needs time to be processed.
	I'm still at risk of the eviction, which is the scary part.
	So much at stake here.
	Let's get back to Alex Forche on Capitol Hill.
	And Alex, Congresswoman Bush and others now calling on colleagues to come back to Washington and take action.
	But what, if anything, can be done at this late hour?
	Wait, Democrats are rallying behind me here on the Hill to raise awareness.
	But the short answer is, right now, with the House already gone, not much.
	The White House does support the CDC expanding this eviction moratorium, but says a recent Supreme Court decision has tied its hands.
	Oh yeah, bullshit!
	No, no.
	Okay, well good.
	I do want to say something for you.
	I'm going to let you go, but...
	Bye.
	California has extended it to infinity from what I can tell, so...
	Just by our state.
	Sure.
	Let me just tell you what happened.
	So first of all, we locked down people got checks, and that was to cover rent and food, in essence, and hopefully it had a little bit of savings.
	Most people didn't.
	That's when the moratorium started.
	Now, the legality of the moratorium, which as you heard there is from the Centers for Disease Control, what kind of power do they have?
	Well, if they say that it is important to keep people housed because if they're evicted, then they may help spread violence.
	A communicable disease, that is where the CDC has the power.
	They can say, uh-uh, we're calling a moratorium because if these people are homeless, if they're out on the street, they'll be spreading COVID. Now, why they don't do a moratorium at the border, I don't know, but that's a different story.
	So, a lot of people have not been paying rent, and the number of people ranges from $4 million to $8 million to $11 million, but each one of them probably owes about $3,800 in back rent.
	Now, this was going to be solved by the previous $1.5 trillion package that was put together and passed, and $40 billion was not only set aside, but it was set aside for landlords.
	So the landlords, they had the relief coming.
	You fill out your paperwork and you say, here's what I've lost on people who operated under the moratorium.
	Give me my money.
	But this was not handled by the federal government.
	They sent it to the states and the states sent it to the cities.
	Right now, less than 2% of this money has been claimed.
	Two reasons why.
	The first one is if the landlords want to take this money, they have to fill out all kinds of financial information, all kinds of information about the organization, about how big, a lot of privacy issues is discussed.
	But also, they would not be allowed to evict that person after they got the money and after the moratorium expires.
	And you'd have to keep them in their home.
	So if you had a shitty tenant, who was just shitty because tenants can be shitty, or a non-payer, then you were basically, you'd get your money and you'd be stuck with someone who wasn't paying who you then couldn't evict.
	And I think the second reason, and this is where I think the story, I hope the story will go there, but the story will probably go to evil landlords, is that this is all money that's been stolen.
	This is exactly what happens with this middle layer of douchebags.
	And by the way, a lot of them are from the poor communities who have risen up.
	Now they're above everybody and they're either making it difficult for people to get this money or they're giving it to their buddies who have big rental situations going on.
	It truly has nothing to do with the federal government anymore.
	But it's not being represented that way.
	Everyone's, oh, Congress, they want on vacation!
	It's going to be Trump's fault soon, I'm sure.
	Yeah!
	So it's very, very baffling to me where the money went.
	Well, if you start sending the money to the cities...
	That's when it gets stolen.
	You know where it went.
	It got stolen.
	Yeah, you do.
	Exactly.
	You steal the money.
	Exactly.
	And I hope people figure that out, because holy crap.
	That's not happening.
	No, they probably won't.
	You're right.
	That's nuts.
	I got some...
	Oh, Olympics.
	Do you have anything on the Olympics?
	Do you have anything on the Olympics?
	I've been thinking about Simone Biles.
	I have a 33 second clip if you want to...
	Yeah, play.
	Tonight, Simone Biles pulling out of two more gymnastics finals, the vault and uneven bars.
	The superstar posting, then deleting these practice videos from Tokyo on Instagram, falling hard on her back.
	Revealing she's still suffering from what gymnasts call the twisties.
	She wrote, literally cannot tell up from down.
	It's the craziest feeling ever, not having an inch of control over your body.
	Now, Michaela Skinner, who plays fourth in qualifying, moving into Biles' spot in the vault, tweeting, doing this for us, Simone Biles.
	All right.
	Your thoughts?
	I think it's great that she's there to cheer on her roommates.
	I think she's definitely lost it, whatever it is, out of the blue.
	And I think she knew that this was the case before she went to Tokyo.
	She needed the idea of a free trip to Tokyo.
	I don't want to be cruel about it.
	But didn't she do some routines where she did well, or did she not?
	She did a couple of things and fell on her ass, kind of.
	I saw what she tried to do, and it was like, this wasn't her.
	I think she also might be injured, and she's not talking about it.
	I don't want to be crude about suggesting anything that she just wanted to get to the trip to Tokyo.
	To get the challenge coin, so she could at least get the challenge coin.
	Well, I think she's great, and she's been cheering everybody on, and that new woman, the Hmong girl, won the all-around, and it's like, what?
	If I go to the Farmer's Market, we have two Hmong stalls at the Farmer's Market in El Cerrito.
	What is Hmong?
	What is Hmong?
	The Hmong is a Cambodian.
	It's like a tribe that's in the Southeast Asian area.
	A very famous ethnic group called the Hmong.
	Do they look like Hmong?
	Is there a particular head shape or something?
	They actually do look a little different than typical Southeast Asians.
	They're a little stockier, I think, is a good way of putting it.
	Stockier.
	But they're absolutely fantastic.
	They have great personalities.
	They fought with American troops, and we...
	We lifted most of them out of the Southeast Asia and moved to the United States, where they've taken on all kinds of positions, including farming, in the case of the two stalls.
	And they produce all kinds of terrific stuff.
	I really like the Hmong.
	Anyway, I was happy to see that this girl won.
	If you do a search on Hmong head shape...
	It's like they have a bump on the back of their head with extra brains.
	I don't know.
	I didn't do that.
	I just did.
	It's got some weird spelling.
	Oh, I'm looking at the wrong mom.
	It's like H-U-M-O-N-G. I'm looking at something really bad.
	Don't look at M-O-N-G head shape.
	Well, the sad, sad part of this young woman, not helped, by the way, by the U.S. Women's soccer team who faced away from the American flag and took a knee during the anthem.
	The whole point is to represent your country at the Olympics.
	Yes, it makes no sense.
	I think that hurt.
	I think that hurt the ratings.
	I think so.
	And there is bad news.
	Viewership is down 42% from the 2016 Summer Games across all NBC outlets.
	And since the opening ceremony, NBC has been negotiating...
	With advertisers offering ways to make up for the loss.
	No, I'm reading from Bloomberg.
	Haggling over make goods isn't unusual in TV, but the discussions show that NBC's ambitious Olympic effort from Tokyo is drawing a smaller audience than the broadcaster or advertisers expected.
	Check this out.
	They sold $1.25 billion in commercials for this year's Olympics.
	Do you know how much they paid for the broadcast rights?
	1.1 billion.
	Oh, they're going to lose their ass.
	They're going to lose their ass on this.
	A couple of things.
	I also think the producers of this particular Olympics, because I've been watching it on and off, really have done a piss-poor job.
	I agree.
	For example...
	We don't really need to watch the entire 1500 meter swim event from beginning to end because there's nothing in the middle and it goes on for 10 minutes or longer.
	I do like the meters per second that they're doing that follows behind them.
	They've got a few gimmicks.
	That's kind of cool.
	I mean, the short races are fine, but to follow from beginning to end every lap...
	Well, you nailed it.
	But John, you nailed it.
	It's boring.
	And you know why it's boring?
	It is boring.
	Because the world is boring.
	You don't have any of the Olympic Village profiles that you can really make exciting.
	You know, the athletes going around town doing fun stuff.
	got a note from producer Matt, who works at an English daily in Tokyo covering the Olympics.
	In the office, people are very much into the games and several pages per day are dedicated to its coverage.
	When a Japanese athlete wins a gold, many people clap and cheer.
	It's a very interesting experience.
	But outside of the office, it's as if there's no Olympics in the capital.
	Tokyo is under a so-called state of emergency.
	Restaurants have to close by eight o'clock.
	No alcohol can be served.
	The whole city is dull with medical establishment, boomer age, UN bootlicking bureaucracy at the helm.
	Hey, you should try writing.
	Oh, he does.
	Many bars are flouting the ban, and in certain areas you can find people lining up without masks to go down some drinks.
	I saw a woman puking in the gutter there once.
	There you go.
	There is no Olympic fever in the rebel holdouts.
	Outside of those holdouts, however, people are masked up in 33-degree weather.
	That's centigrade.
	And on the trains and subways, I would say 99% of the passengers are gazing away at the dumb crap on their phones with nary a care about the Olympics.
	How many people can care about a trampoline bronze medal when fear porn is being shoved into their brains 24-7 with all this COVID-19 crap?
	I agree.
	I agree.
	So all of Tokyo was boring.
	So it may just be hard to really get anything out at all that isn't just boring.
	If you're a high-end guy, you should be able to make this excited.
	Yeah, well, I would agree.
	Come on.
	Yeah, you're right.
	You're right.
	All right.
	We can go to some old clips which are kind of reminiscent of some stuff in the past that you might want to listen to that I picked up off the computer.
	It's a fortunate happenstance.
	I feel so lucky.
	These are two clips.
	I only have two.
	And they hearken back to a time that we've long since forgotten.
	Let's play Lost News Isis.
	Uh, hold up.
	Lost news.
	ISIS. Tonight, a troubling new development just one month after the terror attacks in Paris.
	You'll remember this image.
	Authorities say one of the alleged suicide bombers using this fake passport to slip into Europe among the Syrian refugees.
	Tonight, a chilling new warning.
	ISIS now has its hands on at least one official passport printing machine.
	ABC's chief investigative correspondent Brian Ross on the concern those fake passports could be used here.
	With the U.S. and other countries on high alert tonight for ISIS attacks.
	American authorities are warning the terror group may have infiltrated followers into this country.
	With authentic-looking passports, it has printed itself almost impossible to detect.
	If ISIS has been able to acquire legitimate passports or machines that create legitimate passports, this would represent a major security risk to the United States.
	I have something that...
	Goes right with that.
	Whatever happened to that story?
	Well, we went to war.
	We spent billions, trillions of dollars fighting people in sandy areas.
	That's the story.
	That's why ISIS, remember ISIS was cutting off people's heads in those high, hey, the guys from ISIS did better job on the head chopping videos than the Olympics.
	Remember those videos?
	Oh, they were making CGI. They got all kinds of cool stuff going on.
	So I think something like ISIS, and this was, do you remember what year this was?
	2017, you said?
	2015.
	2015.
	I think something else is at play.
	And I've been keeping my eye on this.
	It's just a short clip.
	Um...
	The United States is so-called moving out of Afghanistan.
	There's no way the war machine is going to stop war.
	And I think there's a new target.
	South Africa is sending its troops to Mozambique.
	Nearly 1500 military personnel are going there to battle jihadist terror.
	They'll be fighting alongside troops from Rwanda, Botswana, and 13 other African nations.
	They've all promised military assistance to Mozambique.
	Their enemy is Al-Shabaab.
	It's a terror outfit linked to the Islamic State that plans to establish a caliphate in southern Africa.
	So now they're pulling the old Al-Shabaab joke.
	Al-Shabaab.
	It's bullshit.
	It's amusing since I had an Al-Shabaab clip I was going to incorporate into this too because that's another thing that's been revitalized recently.
	This is just the same playbook again.
	But watch out.
	I think Mozambique is just a little bit up.
	I think they're going to the Horn of Africa.
	And I think we're going to find Al-Shabaab or something in...
	I'll name the countries now.
	Put it in the red book.
	Ethiopia, Somalia, Sudan, Djibouti, Eritrea.
	I think that this is where the American military will be sent next to fight some kind of thing for the sad people of Africa.
	It could be.
	We don't like going there, but it's possible.
	We like war!
	Especially the Democrats.
	Yeah, we do, but the Democrats don't like going to Africa.
	They just don't.
	What, they like going to Syria?
	Yeah.
	They like Syria better.
	They don't like the black man.
	Oh, is that it?
	They're racist.
	Okay, got it.
	Okay, here's the other one.
	This is another.
	Whatever happened to these stories?
	Lost News 2015 Hackers.
	...vulnerable to a cyber attack.
	The FDA warning hospitals be on alert for hackers.
	Here's ABC's Aditi Roy.
	Hospitals across the country receiving an unprecedented warning by the FDA tonight that a commonly used medical device may be at risk of getting hacked.
	The device, Hospirus Symbic Infusion Pump, is used to deliver medications like painkillers and cancer treatments to patients through an IV. In its warning, the FDA says an unauthorized user with malicious intent could access the pump remotely and modify the dosage it delivers.
	So every hospital should assume that its devices, if connected to the internet, can be attacked.
	And so this, it's an important warning.
	This is not an isolated incident.
	Hospira says it deployed an update to provide customers with an extra layer of security until the pump is completely off the market in a few months.
	A move already in the works before this warning.
	This new worry over healthcare hacks comes just after Fiat Chrysler issued a voluntary recall of 1.4 million vehicles to install software to prevent hacking.
	Kill the engine.
	A vulnerability seen in this demonstration video when hackers took control of this Jeep.
	These two cases showing how the rewards of technology also come with risks.
	And the FDA says there was no specific hacking attempt that prompted this warning, but still says there's a very real possibility, Cecilia, this could happen.
	A scary possibility, too, Aditi.
	Thank you.
	A manufactured story.
	I remember this.
	Yeah.
	And I think the way we deconstructed it is that they wanted to get some kind of medical device classification that would involve some higher security level.
	It was a move by one of the manufacturers of these devices to get some kind of, what I remember, some kind of higher level FDA approval as a medical device.
	It was involved with that stoop.
	Remember, there was a whole six-month period where they kept hacking cars.
	Oh, stop your engine.
	I can't control my car.
	I'm turning left.
	I don't mean to.
	Well, they don't have to worry about that because if you look at Australia, Elon Musk's batteries just keep burning up.
	You see that fire?
	No.
	No, they've got his...
	The Tesla battery factory in Australia has a 13-ton cell caught fire, and they're still trying to put it out.
	The battery factory caught fire?
	Well, there's cells that were...
	So they have whole, like, rows and rows of these containers.
	Oh, and so things start to go.
	You can't do anything about it.
	13-ton cell.
	I mean, it's not like one big battery.
	It's millions of little AA's.
	Yeah, that's what they, yeah.
	My goodness, who's worried about that?
	What people are worried about is Snapchat being down for two hours.
	That was hilarious.
	People were freaking out.
	I'm leaving you, Snapchat!
	Hey man, bring it back!
	I was arguing with someone!
	Serious, serious.
	Well, okay.
	News from the past.
	You probably have heard about the Texas Democrats, state representative Democrats, who fled the state, got COVID on their private plane where they flew without masks and are hiding out in God knows where.
	So they didn't have to, and this is 100% political, they did not want to, because they're in the minority, they did not want to vote on our voting reform laws.
	Yeah, they wanted to make sure there's no quorum so the Republicans couldn't just ram a vote through.
	This has happened before, and it's interesting that no one has told you that.
	It's happened before in California.
	In 2003...
	Republicans, what was the law at the time?
	I'm sure it wasn't quite as racially motivated, but you had 50 Democrats who fled over the border into Oklahoma and were staying at the Holiday Inn for the exact same reason.
	The exact same thing.
	This is what they do.
	Oh, we're going to lose.
	The Republicans don't want to negotiate.
	And then they go and run away.
	Yeah, they run away.
	It'll be solved the same way.
	That's the Texas Democrat.
	Yeah, it'll be solved the same way with special sessions and then eventually they'll just lose out to it.
	And they keep doing rallies and Beto shows up.
	Beto running for governor of Texas.
	Yeah.
	And professional signs.
	And there's this whole, I saw an entire crowd of people in the newspaper in front of the state capitol with professional signs.
	Voting isn't just for white people.
	And it was all white people holding the signs!
	There were no black people that I saw, in the pictures at least.
	Can somebody get me one of those signs?
	Oh my god.
	I keep asking for stuff.
	I do get some stuff once in a while.
	Once in a while you get it, sure, once in a while.
	Roll up in a tube, mail it to the post office box, pick it up, and it goes into the archive.
	There's a novel being written about it.
	There you go on.
	Yes, that's true.
	And it'll be quite a good one.
	I can't wait for it to come out.
	I'm very excited about that.
	Yeah, one moment before we thank some more people.
	This is the level of news reporting.
	This is Fox, a Fox 5 reporter.
	Fox 5!
	We've always had some issues with the T drop.
	Now, can you drop the T just...
	Did we ever figure out if there's rules to this?
	When you can drop the T? No, because we have the example of Sophia with an F dropping one T... Then dropping the different tea and then dropping both teas.
	So it's some moody thing.
	I don't know.
	It's important.
	Well, listen for the tea droppage in this short clip about dog groomers.
	Hey guys, it's Fox 5 reporter Sierra Fox.
	Right now I am here with Abby and Lucy.
	They're outside of Happy Grooming.
	Just got beautiful and they feel good.
	Their tails are wagging.
	Today my story is about how pet groomers don't have to have any sort of licensing or regulations.
	To some pet owners, after hearing that, that's concerning.
	So I'll have more details for you about this coming up at 4, 5, and 6.
	Bye guys!
	Since when can you say pet owners?
	Pet owners?
	She said pet owners.
	She said details quite clearly.
	She should have said DLs, but she said pet owners.
	No, I don't think you can drop it to you with details.
	I think you do have to say it.
	Pet owners.
	Because DLs doesn't work.
	Let's listen again to that part.
	Now I am here with Abby and Lucy.
	They're outside of Happy Grooming.
	Just got beautiful and they feel good.
	Their tails are wagging.
	Today my story is about how pet groomers don't have to have any sort of licensing or regulations to some pet owners.
	Yeah, she said pet owners.
	What is that?
	Pet owners.
	Pet owners.
	Pat owners.
	That's very unusual.
	Yeah.
	But it falls into play.
	It falls into place with ample...
	And I think if you say hi, guys, if you say hi, guys, at the beginning of your report on television, you can say whatever you want by it.
	You're good with me.

	Yeah, everyone that comes in gray means it was a check.
	Oh, okay.
	Thank you, Mr.
	Harry.
	Adam McCown, 5333.
	And it's a donation for Francis Creasy.
	And it's a birthday.
	Francis is on the list.
	Egil?
	He's in Cyprus.
	Egil.
	Eagle.
	I don't know.
	Panestad.
	53.
	A long note.
	I don't know what the point of the note is.
	Take a look at the note and see if there's anything important in there.
	Well, he sees a donation to be credited to our brother-in-law, Jonah of Stockholm, who is a 10-year-plus listener of the show.
	And he hit them in the mouth.
	But at the start, we believe Jonah was a little bit weird, listening to a range of podcasts at 1.5 speed to only be able to cover more.
	We heard Shut Up Slave and Strange Isos through the wall.
	Okay, well, so it's a birthday for Jonah.
	Okay, I don't see that he's on the list.
	I think he was added later.
	I'll check right now.
	Carol Steenbergen in Mepple.
	Another person in Mepple.
	Mepple are.
	And a first time donor.
	Please deduce me.
	And a deduce.
	You've been deduced.
	Oh, it's a birthday for Richard again.
	Richard gets around, man.
	Okay, buddies.
	Richard gets around.
	He gets around.
	Brandon Ellsbury, 5033.
	Scott Nelson, $50.01 from Council Bluffs, Sir Scott.
	This is the same guy who used to be in Florida, I believe.
	Council Bluffs, Iowa.
	Sounds familiar, yeah.
	That's a big change if you move from Florida to Iowa.
	And the following people are $50 donors, name and location, if appropriate.
	Aaron Borges in Cary, North Carolina.
	Timothy Moore in Arlington, Texas.
	Lily Patch in Santee, California.
	Yemi Fawahinwi.
	Yemi Fawahinwi.
	Mr.
	Bob Dabalino.
	Tony Lang in Castle Pines, Colorado.
	Jill Woods in Ocean Grove, New Jersey, your old stomping ground.
	Melissa Adams in Bon Secours, Alabama.
	What?
	That's a birthday and I don't see her on the list.
	It's for John Adams.
	John Adams.
	On Bon Secours.
	From his sister.
	Alright, I'm putting him on the list as well.
	No problem.
	His sister wishes him a happy birthday.
	Joseph Barnes in Oakland, California.
	Jason Maurer in Portland, Oregon.
	That's a better way of pronouncing that.
	Oh, brother.
	This is Petor Kristjansson.
	And he's in Iceland.
	Petor Kristjansson.
	You else could die.
	Baronettes Janice Oliver and Edmonds Washington.
	I like the fact that we have people in Iceland listening.
	Very cool.
	I love Iceland.
	Yes.
	Maybe it's because I plugged the...
	I'm telling you, the wool, baby.
	The wool.
	It sparked people up.
	More wool on the show, John.
	I hear the knitting community is interested in checking us out.
	You know, the sweater that I prize the most is a wool sweater I got from Iceland, but I got it at the Hard Rock.
	So it says Hard Rock Reykjavik.
	Oh, cool.
	On the sweater.
	And the place is folded.
	This sweater does not exist anymore.
	Nice.
	And you have it in the archive?
	It's in this closet, actually.
	Oh, yay.
	Somewhere.
	Mm-hmm.
	Baronetis Janice Oliver.
	That is actually...
	Dame Knight.
	I don't know where I got Baronette.
	She's not a Baronette.
	Is Dame Knight?
	I don't think so.
	Dame Knight?
	Dame Knight gives us money every two or three weeks.
	Oh.
	Brian Watson, Raleigh, North Carolina.
	And Aichi Kitagawa in San Francisco, along with Sir Brett Farrell, who's in Oklahoma City, as far as I know.
	$50.
	That's our group of well-wishers and producers for show $13.69.
	$13.69.
	Yes, and just as a reminder, executive producer is $300 and above, associate executive producer $250 and up to the associate execs.
	We may not read your note, and certainly not playing jingles just for brevity's sake, but we do read everything.
	In fact, I'd like to highlight a $3.33 donation.
	With a note, value for value from Rick and Charlene Brandon, please check out our channel on No Agenda Tube.
	We are 80-bitty homestead and we are documenting our journey building a homestead to become self-reliant.
	We are on the value for value model and would love the support.
	So I felt that was worth just highlighting.
	And this is also a value-for-value model.
	This is how it works.
	We're not getting demonetized by anybody.
	We're not getting deplatformed.
	Now, it is a paywall of poverty, but you determine what the show is worth, not us.
	That's no price fixing.
	Whatever you think this podcast is worth, this episode, write down that number, send it to us.
	You can contribute in many ways, of course, with time, talent, or treasure.
	But we certainly appreciate those who help us with the monetary support and also under $50.
	Thank you so much.
	We'll be here again on Thursday.
	You can support us then.
	Go to...
	And I think we need a jobs karma.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	It's your birthday, birthday.
	I'm so much younger.
	Yep, we do have a long list of birthdays, strangely.
	Caitlin Green of Laytonville, California, turned 33 yesterday.
	Ronald Rao says happy birthday to his smoking hot wife, Robin, also celebrated on the 31st.

	We have one daming, we have one knighting.
	So, I've got the dame sword.
	Do you got the knight sword?
	I got the Olympic one.
	Woo!
	It's 42% less than last year.
	Up on the podium, Kimberly Vacheron and Jay Cotaccini.
	Both of you qualify for an upgrade to Knight and or Dame of the No Agenda Roundtable.
	And I'm very proud to pronounce the KD as Dame Kim, Warrior for Truth in Massachusetts, and Sir C Sharp of.NET. Both of you, please join us here at the table for some hookers and blow, rent boys and chardonnay.
	Or perhaps dark chocolate and a filthy Hendrix martini with blue cheese olives.
	Yes, that, diet soda and video games, fish fry and fellatio, Brazilian hotties and cachaca, eh, ginger ale and gerbils, and of course we've got some mutton and meat.
	If you'd like to...
	Go to noagendanation.com slash rings.
	That's where you can hand over your info.
	If you don't have it already, Eric Schill will get you your ring, your wax to seal your envelopes with, along with the official certificate of authenticity.
	Congratulations on becoming a knight and a dame of the No Agenda Roundtable.
	No Agenda Meetups!
	Well, the meetups are going gangbusters everywhere around the world.
	I'm so proud of what the producers have done.
	I mean, this is so beyond what any podcast is doing, where people are meeting up.
	Sometimes every day of the week somewhere else in the world, it is astounding.
	You can look at this list at NoAgendaMeetups.com.
	And we have two reports today.
	The first one is from that fateful KC meetup where Sir Dave Fugisato unfortunately could not attend because of his COVID toe, and he sent in part of the report himself.
	Please rise for the Duke of America's Heartland and the Arabian Peninsula.
	Excuse me.
	In the morning, this is Sir Dave Fugisato.
	I had a great time virtually hearing the grievances of my loyal Heartlanders, sipping a tepid spindrift grapefruit sparkling water and watching producers From all around the Kansas City area, enjoy the huge spread of delicious chow.
	Thank you for your courage.
	From North Kansas City, where it may sound like a PBS studio, but I promise you, we're actually out at the park.
	This is Matt.
	It's Sir Spencer.
	You know, the spooks over at Google scrambled the location to our meetup, and they gave our Duke the coup, but we still had a great time and a great feast.
	Fit for the roundtable.
	Dame DeLorean here.
	There are damn near 33 human resources at the KC Meetup.
	We are making babies.
	Don't eat me, Boris.
	This is Seth.
	The dude named Ben named Ben.
	Yeah, no, I messed it up.
	And I'm Triggered.
	Anyway, in the morning.
	This is Sir Baronet John Helmer at the KC Meetup.
	John, would you please renew your ham license?
	Hey John and Adam, this is Sir C. Mike.
	It is an absolutely wonderful day here.
	Even the human resources, all eight of them, are being well behaved.
	And the weather's been...
	I'm reclaiming his time.
	Same black hammer here.
	Gracias por su valor.
	A money.
	Hey, it's Kyle from Omaha.
	I made it the right direction this time and didn't go three hours north to Sioux Falls.
	This is Chris Johnson.
	In the morning, Jay from Lake Ottawa.
	Stay safe.
	Hi, this is Liz Leroy, formerly of Wichita.
	In the morning, gents.
	This is Matt Leroy, formerly from Wichita.
	Now out in the country.
	Not a douchebag.
	I think we're all out of cookies.
	We're all gonna die!
	Very creative.
	I like that.
	And man, Fukuzotos...
	They get those kids to send us some ISOs.
	Yeah, some new ones.
	No, they got that kid.
	There are two of them in there.
	I think they're different.
	They have great voices for that.
	Yeah.
	Exactly.
	But what do you want them to say?
	Just whatever they say.
	Whatever's funny.
	You're going to have to do the writing, too, I mean.
	No, no, no.
	Just have the kids add lip stuff.
	Yeah, just have fun.
	Yeah, exactly.
	But those were good.
	I agree.
	They were punchy, well-recorded, nice.
	Fugizotto, man.
	Yeah, I liked it.
	Poor Duke.
	He sounded pretty rough there.
	Eh, he's fine.
	Well, I'm sure he will be fine.
	But great.
	I'm so happy he's back with the family.
	Good meetup report.
	There was one more.
	This was not quite as big as I'd hoped it would be for them.
	I wish I could have attended.
	I've been to the Calgary Stampede once, and we had a meetup there post-event.
	Good morning, Adam.
	John, this is Frank Cercovados here reporting from the post-Stampede meetup in Calgary, Alberta.
	I guess everybody's kind of still hungover from the Stampede that we only had two people show up, and I'll pass them right over to you.
	Here's John.
	Hey, here's John, a.k.a.
	Melvin Gibstein.
	Contradiction is truth, you pigs in human clothing.
	In the morning, guys.
	Thanks for all you do.
	Keep cracking pots and killing buzzes.
	Cheers, guys.
	Thanks for the show.
	We love you.
	Thanks for the report.
	Appreciate it.
	Here's what's coming up on the calendar for today, the impromptu Buffalo Western New York Meetup, 3 p.m.
	That'll be at the Raymond Klimek Veterans Park at the CB's Memorial.
	Also today, Michigan Local 1, the live broadcast, listening and gun shooting.
	Oh, this is important.
	This is very important.
	Hold on a second.
	As they say in this note, as soon as Adam says, adios mofos, that's at the end of the show, that's when the shooting will start at the Linden Sportsman Club.
	So get out there.
	Get out there.
	It's going to be happening pretty soon.
	I'll wait until I say it at the end of the show.
	For Monday, the Kung Flu Hustle is on at 6 o'clock in the Dojo, that's Bandera, Texas.
	And coming up in the next week or so, we have, well, let me do August 6th and 7th.
	On the 6th, Philadelphia, PA, Peterborough, Ontario, Healdsburg, California, Nashville, Tennessee, Kaisernlautern, Rheinland, Pfalz in Germany, Brisbane, Australia, Boston, and Phoenix, Arizona.
	Also, we have one in Switzerland coming up.
	And on the 8th, one week from now, Arlington, Virginia, Nashville, Tennessee.
	And there's one every single day for the rest of the week.
	Go to noagendameetups.com to see where these are taking place.
	It's free to attend.
	Everybody's welcome.
	You'll find it a very, very relaxed atmosphere.
	And people from all walks of life come together, are not triggered, not offended, and we just hang out and have a good time.
	Noagendameetups.com.
	If you can't find one, start one yourself.
	It's like a party.
	Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
	You want to be where you want me.
	Triggered all hell to blame You want to be where everybody feels the same It's like a party The End Yay!
	Isos?
	Yeah, I had a little trouble getting some good Isos.
	Oh, no, yeah, your machine crashed, right?
	Yeah, that sucks.
	But let's try a couple.
	Okay.
	We believe.
	We believe.
	We believe journalism should never stop asking questions.
	Yes, a little long for an end of show ISO. It has music under it.
	Answer to, uh, answer to.
	We answer to no one but you.
	I like it.
	I like it, but I think I may have you beat.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	Well, I have the one you heard already.
	Bonkers!
	Which I like.
	Uh, what is this?
	And it's a bit worse than I expected.
	And I also have this one.
	That made my amygdala ping, ping, ping.
	I kind of like the amygdala ping-ping-ping.
	And maybe this is the one.
	You've been abused, bro!
	I think that kind of works for me.
	Where'd that come from?
	That's Owen Schreier.
	I like that one, but Bonkers is so good.
	Yeah, it is kind of.
	Bonkers!
	I mean, really, there really is no...
	We should just go with it.
	The lowbrow stuff always works.
	Quick, dirty, to the point.
	We do best.
	I think that's well worth it.
	I have one last clip, but I want it to be the last clip because this last clip, even though it's kind of a house ad that I found on NPR, it tells us something's going on.
	No agenda will be the first time you've even heard about this ever, and then you're going to start hearing about it within the next year or two.
	Well, I have nothing else.
	I say let's go for it.
	Yeah, go for it, man.
	Okay, we're ending with this.
	Do you have to go right to the theme?
	No, I'll wait.
	We can discuss it for a second because...
	I'll wait.
	Okay, so let's just play this and then tell me if you noticed the little hint about something going on.
	Well, what am I playing?
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	It would help.
	Tidbit.
	Tidbit.
	Or Tidit.
	T-I-D-I-T. It's Titter.
	Tap the play button below to hear about the innovations taking place in mobility and electrification in the state of Michigan, including a self-driving vehicle corridor.
	Wait a minute.
	Let me just hear this.
	Let me hear it again.
	Tap the play button below to hear about the innovations taking place in mobility and electrification in the state of Michigan, including a self-driving vehicle corridor.
	Self-driving vehicle corridor.
	So is that like a special road that kind of like a luge or like a bobsled track?
	This is like the hyper tube.
	We can bounce off the walls.
	I mean, this has never been suggested by anybody.
	In fact, it's always been complained about the problem with self-driving cars in the past.
	They've tried to do them, but you need a special road with a little stripe down the middle and you needed this and that.
	I thought that was dropped.
	Because these self-driving cars that have been recently invented that are supposed to be so great, they all, you know, they can drive around with any car.
	They're just driving on their freeway and they can do this, they can do that.
	With the Google Maps, you can come home and you can park in the driveway and the car will find itself and park itself.
	But now we're here this?
	They need the equivalent of a Disney ride.
	Yeah, with the bumpers on the side.
	Like Pirates of the Caribbean.
	You never get off the track.
	You just kind of boom, boom, boom, going left and right.
	So I believe that somewhere along the line this got out and got into this NPR promotion.
	Something went wrong.
	This is from the Michigan station.
	And...
	And they talk about self-driving car corridor.
	So there's going to be a special...
	Right now in the Bay Area, they've set up these fast-track speed lanes.
	In Texas, they've had them for years.
	Yeah, we have a special freeway.
	Which is dynamic pricing.
	Did you know that?
	Do you have that too?
	So you're driving...
	Well, yeah, there must be a semi-dynamic pricing because they do it on the bridge.
	They change it from $4 to $6.
	And this is going to be from $3 to $5.
	No, no, no.
	We have fractions.
	So if you hit the toll, there'll be a big sign that says taking the toll right now costs $4.17.
	I've seen it as high as $9 or $10.
	Oh yeah, it's a total jip.
	It's a total jip.
	It's a total jip.
	So, anyway, so these corridors, just keep an eye out.
	You're going to start hearing about them.
	I love it.
	Was that your last, last clip?
	That was it.
	That's my clip.
	Well, that's a lot to think about.
	Corridors.
	Okay.
	Another thing we don't need.
	No, definitely not.
	Definitely don't need that.
	That's our deconstruction for today.
	We look forward to returning with you on Thursday.
	No doubt a lot will happen, but for sure we'll be here, even if we can't leave our house.
	Or if we can, we'll still be here.
	And get ready over there at your shoot-up.
	It's coming.
	And we have our end-of-show mixes from Tom Starkweather.
	Also from Fletcher and Blaney.
	And we've got the grumpy old Ben's coming up next on NoAgendaStream.com.
	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 is Delta, Delta, Delta?
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll see you again here on Thursday.
	Remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA. Until then, adios, mofos!
	and such.
	These are scientists.
	These are experts.
	And the science continues to change.
	This is an incredibly, incredibly contagious version of virus.
	It's almost like a whole different virus.
	It's a bit worse than I expected.
	It's vaxxed or masked.
	We don't test it.
	We just test it.
	We'll have the scientists and they tell us that it's the Delta variant.
	These are scientists.
	These are experts.
	And the science continues to change.
	It's true.
	It's my freedom.
	It's whatever.
	The governor said that they will, you know, take drastic action if needed.
	Vaccinated people may be able to transmit it as easily as those who are unvaccinated.
	I don't think that this vaccine is ready to use.
	Delta variant is spreading much faster than previously thought.
	The government will be ready.
	We are planning right now.
	These are scientists.
	These are experts.
	And the science continues to change.
	It's my freedom.
	it's whatever Icelanders have this tremendous wool from these weird Rastafarian sheep aww And their wool is naturally waterproof.
	there's just dynamite I'm just going to leave that one hanging in the air Thanks for that, visual.
	The Chinese must be laughing their asses off.
	Do you have any products from this wool?
	Oh, yeah, I bought two or three sweaters and a blanket.
	Hapsies on that, okay?
	I want hapsies.
	Oh, please, no.
	Well, first of all, yes.
	No.
	Yes.
	No.
	This is a humongous scam.
	Bullcrap.
	Boom.
	Wow.
	Boom.
	Yeah.
	Wow.
	Boom.
	Yeah.
	Wow.
	Boom.
	Yeah.
	Wow. Boom.

	Boom.
	Yeah.
	Wow.
	Boom.
	Yeah.
	Wow.
	Boom.
	Yeah.
	Awesome.
	And I was like, wow.
	Wow.
	We are insane!
	Insane!
	I freaking love this show!
	Please love numerology!
	That won't get a lot of play in the media.
	I love something funny.
	Yeah, you gotta love it.
	Gotta love it.
	Your heart's in the right place.
	Beautiful!
	Love is lit.
	Love is lit.
	Love and light.
	I love it.
	Love and thunder.
