This is your award-winning Get My Nation Media Assassination Episode 1370.
This is No Agenda.
No papers to show, but still broadcasting live from the heart of Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No.
6 in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where everything is coming up Delta, I'm John C. Dvorak.
Of course everything comes up Delta.
That's all that we have.
It's all Delta.
Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta.
Except, except, except Newsweek.
Newsweek, cover of Newsweek.
I mean, do they even publish a cover anymore?
Is Newsweek an actual magazine?
I don't know what they're talking about.
Yeah, they're faking the cover.
Oh, let's do a cover.
Yeah, they fake the cover, and they have...
Put a date on it.
Here it is, here it is.
The Doomsday Variant.
And they're talking...
Yes, COVID keeps mutating into scary new threats.
How worried should we be about the Lambda variant?
Yeah, listen to this.
So, you know, you and your Delta, backwards there.
Too soon to say whether Lambda will turn out to be the next big bad thing that COVID-19 unleashes on us.
But it's a good time to wonder, just how destructive can these variants get?
Will future variants expand their attack from the lungs to the brain, the heart, and the other organs?
Will they take a page from HIV and trick people into thinking they're recovered only to make them sick later?
By the way, that's a historically messed up line.
Is there a doomsday variant out there that shrugs off vaccines, spreads like wildfire, and leaves morbid vixens much sicker than anything we've seen yet?
We can only hope so!
That's the kind of stuff that we're being smothered with.
Yeah.
Well, that's the idea.
You want to sell, if it bleeds, it leads.
Oh, I know, but we can just get episodes from a year and a half ago and start replaying them.
It's the same thing, with the only difference being, you know, it looks like the vaccines don't work, at least keeping you from getting COVID. We all know the line is, no, they prevent you from getting seriously ill, okay?
No measurement there.
So, she's going to scare everybody into submission once again.
Scare you into submission.
And I'm very curious to see if that is some of the things you picked up as it is a Thursday morning, the first Thursday of the week.
And that means, that means it's time for...
Now it's time for 3x3.
Experiment by JCD. Comparing stories from ABC, CBS, and NBC. The never-ending 3x3.
3x3.
Okay, John, you've been looking at all of the networks this morning.
Please tell us what is going on.
As I do, I'm sipping on a smoothie.
Oh.
So I start off, of course, by the way, this takes longer than it should because you get to watch like a half an hour of ads to get like one glimpse of some story.
A little bit of content, yeah.
So CBS was doing a big piece with some doctors very serious about how J&J recipients should not take supplemental shots.
Oh really now?
Yeah, it was almost like a warning.
That's interesting, because we'll come back to it later, but I've got such contrary information, as usual.
Well, I think the contrary information is what triggered this.
And I think a lot of it has to do with the top-off idea, you know, well, you've got your J&J, how about you have a Pfizer while you're at it?
All contradictory to what we talked about in 2020, where don't mix these shots, whatever you do.
Don't mix these shots and get your second shot within a day or two when you're supposed to.
It's literally in San Francisco that they're doing this, according to CNBC. San Francisco, yeah, there's a lot of stories where San Francisco's been encouraging top-offs.
Yeah.
I think that's probably why they're...
In many interpretations.
Hello!
Yeah, I'm just waking up.
It's a Thursday.
Yeah.
So, and then they went from that story, they went right into, with Anthony Mason, they went right into discussing full approval.
This is the big story, by the way.
This is a meme.
They haven't quite 100% picked up on it when it first started, but it's a super meme.
And it's like, oh, the FDA is going to approve the Pfizer vaccine on September 1st or by September 1st or around September 1st.
Oh, keep an eye out because Pfizer is going to get approved.
Why Pfizer to be approved before Moderna is beyond me, but okay.
Well, I did pick something up, a very short 38-second clip that explains the only thing we're waiting for, which was news to me about the FDA approval.
It'll blow you away if you want to hear it now.
I don't want to interrupt you.
Of course I want to hear it now.
Go!
The American people want to hear from the FDA that the vaccines authorized here are safe and they need to hear that loud and clear and that's what full approval messages to them.
When they cite the emergency use authorization and confuse that with experimental, that's a major barrier.
Ironically, one of the greatest If true, holy crap!
So Dr.
Marty says the only reason...
Wait, wait.
Yeah.
What do you mean?
Did you say it's true?
I said if...
You looked into this and that's what it is?
I said if true...
Oh, if true.
If true, I have no reason to doubt Dr.
Marty when he says the only...
Dr.
Marty.
The only reason it's being held up is to find out when it expires, which is in the next week or two, coincidentally.
Yeah.
So, even if that's not what the...
I mean, that's disappointing.
They're just waiting to see how long the stuff stays good.
Well, are they talking about the...
I didn't hear that they're specifically talking about product expiration as opposed to emergency use expiration.
No, what he said is the only thing that's holding back the FDA approval is the stability of the vaccines.
So how long it lasts until it's no good.
I'm just telling you what Dr.
Marty said.
Oh, Dr.
Marty.
Dr.
Marty.
So I go to the NBC... We got more Olympics crap.
And then there's a whole...
Then they switched to a huge promotion of NBC streaming.
You should watch that.
It's the Peacock?
The Peacock?
Peacock Network or whatever the hell it is.
You know, I have that on all my...
Well, I think the Peacock is free unless you want to get Matt Damon's movie.
That's the free part.
It's a freemium model we're applying here.
Okay, so then we go to Good Morning America, and you can't imagine what they had, and it was on for a long time, and in fact, it was on, and I liked it, and I watched it.
Okay.
Steals and deals.
Okay.
With the barcode on the screen.
Use your phone and change on the barcode and take a look at these deals and deals.
And I started actually watching it seriously.
There's some pretty good deals.
Wait a minute.
So they've gone full-on home shopping now in the third hour?
The last time I watched it...
I mean, I did, when I was scanning around, I did catch the end, then they went to commercials and I had to switch around.
The end of some, one of their old classics where they had that kind of breezy girl talking about some movie.
Yeah.
And so then I, okay, well that's more, ah, good morning America.
It's best talking about movies.
You know, don't watch TV. Get off this network and go to a movie.
And then steals and deals.
So that was it.
It was pretty bad.
I thought today's rundown was not...
Revealing of anything new.
Except Steals and Deals, I think, is pretty good.
Well, that does say something.
There's a couple of things I wanted to buy.
Well, what item were you going to get in on this morning, John?
Calling from Berkeley.
Hi, John.
Hello.
Do they have call-ins like home shopping?
I loved the notebook deals.
They were great.
They were so cheap.
I couldn't buy anything like that, even at Target.
Yeah, you're perfect.
You're perfect for the role.
Excellent.
All right, three by three.
I've only looked at mechanisms for today's show.
I mean, COVID is what it is.
Delta is what it is.
We have lots of information now on how it's being tested as Delta variant, mainly 750 samples they do once a week.
So it doesn't matter if it's Delta, it's Lambda.
The issue at hand is, is this going to be used?
Or how is it going to be used?
I think the mandates slash passports, we'll get to that in a minute.
Papers, please.
But the lockdowns are still in everybody's mind, and we're not doing a very good job here in America.
We're rolling out Fauci's boss once again, Dr.
Francis Collins, the man in charge of the entire NIH on Good Morning America, and we'll just have to ask him about the lockdowns.
You know, it's on our minds.
We heard Dr.
Fauci say yesterday and this week that things are going to get worse before they get better, but he doesn't think that lockdowns are going to be needed.
How do you see the fall playing out?
Well, I agree.
We want to avoid lockdowns at all costs, but that means we're going to have to do some other things that won't necessarily be welcomed by people, such as the new recommendation of wearing masks in indoor gatherings, even if you're vaccinated, because we learned from that outbreak in Massachusetts that vaccinated people can probably transmit this, even though they are very well protected against severe disease.
It will mean schools really need to have kids masked so that they're protected from being the source of spreading as well.
And that's not popular with kids or parents.
But if we want to avoid a more severe outcome that might lead to more extreme measures like lockdowns, we know what to do.
We just need to do it.
And oh my goodness, it would be so good if we could have that conversation about the data and the evidence and the public health arguments and get politics out of it.
Unfortunately...
Not where we are at the present time in the United States of America.
So did I just understand that we could be headed for drastic measures like lockdowns if only we could get the politics out of it?
Is that what we need to do?
It's almost what he said.
I mean, what?
I don't think it's what he meant, but...
It's the way it came out.
It's what he said.
And, you know, the politics, that was the mainstream media themselves who started that.
Now, it doesn't matter.
I agree.
I have a clip that kind of backs it up.
Okay.
Since they're continuing it.
You know what the real problem is?
Yeah, the vaccine doesn't work.
That's the real problem.
Oh, sorry.
It's leaky.
It's just leaky.
It's leaky.
You're going to get us kicked off the air.
It's all right.
Go to play this clip.
COVID, Texas, Florida.
Florida and Texas lead the nation in new cases.
Their governors have pushed back against restrictions, calling them ineffective intrusions.
If you aren't going to help, at least get out of the way when the people are trying to do the right thing.
Republican Governor Asa Hutchinson of Arkansas says he now regrets outlawing mask mandates for schools.
Everything has changed now.
And yes, in hindsight, I wish that had not become law.
A dozen spoke against a proposed mask mandate in St.
Louis.
100% of the people that get COVID in St.
Louis County survive.
Why would we mandate a cover for our faces?
Yeah, it's the red states.
We all know.
We all know the problem.
And the Republican states, they're just political about it all the time.
They don't look at the science.
Alabama, we had the Alabama nurse, who turns out that she pretty much would have seen maybe three people as she was a hospitalist at the time.
We deconstructed the hospitalist.
But the hospitalist, now remember, I... How come we didn't use that as a show title?
I think we came close to it.
There was something else that took place.
Also, a hospitalist is a thing.
You know, a hospitalist is really the person who represents your general practitioner in the hospital.
We didn't know what it was, but we got a lot of messages about, oh, no, this is, you know, no longer does your doctor come and check on you.
The hospitalist checks on you.
Yeah, this is like, I'm going to just go on a little aside here.
This is like the social workers at the hospital.
I'm sure the hospitalists will love emailing john at dvorak.org.
The social workers at the hospital...
Yeah.
Because this happened to me when my...
Luckily, I had a lawyer...
When my mother was in the hospital dying, and luckily, two things.
Luckily, and people should note this, luckily I had a family attorney that knew about this bull crap, and luckily I had the benefit package in front of me with a big book saying what the Kaiser Permanente owed.
The social worker comes on to call you, and by the way, which is...
In direct contradiction to what a doctor might tell you if you get to hold one of the doctors.
Oh, your mother.
Oh, she should be in a home and there's one of these little...
I'll give you a list and go look at these homes that you can put her in.
The social worker does nothing but one thing.
Get you to say yes to anything that gets the patient out of their care and off the billing cycle.
That's all they do.
And so if you resist by saying no, I'm looking at the package.
You just have to keep care of her for at least another six months.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
And then they stop calling after a while.
That's what the social worker does.
It's a salesman.
All right.
Well, that fits because we had the hospitalist from Alabama used as a vaccine salesman.
And her job was to propagate this meme that people who were dying, their last dying breath as she held their hand, as they were slipping away, was, I wish I had taken the vaccine.
That was a beauty.
Yes, that one.
But this is propagated because now I have...
You know, the local Austin and San Antonio stations have the local, it's everywhere now.
The local reporter, you'll hear it, you'll hear about it.
The local reporter goes up, hey, how you doing?
Oh, I'm sick in the hospital.
Oh, well, how do you feel?
I feel angry at myself for not taking the vaccine.
This is a standard local story.
Over and everywhere across the country, we have it here.
Yes, so here's Oprah Winfrey jumping in on it.
Hi, everybody.
Hi.
Did you all see this story this past week from Dr.
Brittany Cobia from Alabama?
She says she has to tell her unvaccinated COVID patients while they're on their deathbeds begging for the vaccine.
I'm sorry.
It's too late.
Because at that point, there's nothing she can do but prepare them to be intubated.
Now, Alabama happens to be the state with the lowest vaccination rate in the nation at 33.7%.
So I'm asking you, my fellow citizens, red states, blue states, purple states, and everybody else in between, what are we doing to ourselves and to each other?
As a country, we have to do better.
We have to do more.
We can't afford to go backward in this battle against COVID. We can't afford to be locked down again because we never reached herd immunity.
Locked down again, eh?
Locked down again.
Oh, a little messaging.
Oprah, can you put this one line in there?
Let me write that for you.
There you go.
Oh, I can read that.
I'm a pro.
That's it.
Locked down again.
You got it.
Now, I came to the realization a week or two ago that Australia and New Zealand, but mainly Australia, is not trailing us They are leading.
They're leading the way.
They are leading the way.
And now that Sky...
Well, Sky Australia is back on YouTube, but they were off for a week.
Whoa!
So they get to market about...
Boom, boom, boom, boom, censorship, Sky.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
So they get to do all that.
It's basically Fox News down under.
But the Channel 10, these guys...
Now, this is a whole new level.
They are producing packages...
That lead into topics.
So one is the, this is the one I'm going to play now, is the lockdown.
There's another one later on about passports.
But these are two-minute packages that, John, you just have to imagine the visual, this is some good-ass shit that these people are making to scare the bejesus out of the population.
The news no Victorian wanted.
And that is that Victoria will have to lock down again for seven days from 8pm tonight.
Yeah, I should probably say Victoria.
So, you know, Sydney is New South Wales.
They're still in their four-week lockdown.
Victoria, which includes Melbourne, has just gone into its sixth lockdown, and this is once again for a week.
So it's the sixth time they've been locked down, but this will make you want to stay home.
The news no Victorian wanted.
And that is that Victoria will have to lock down again for seven days from 8 p.m.
tonight.
After recording eight local cases in 24 hours, three under investigation, Daniel Andrews is wasting no time shutting down his state.
We only get one chance to act fast.
We only get one chance to make difficult decisions that are the right decisions.
Nobody wants to get this.
Nobody can afford to ignore this.
No government can refuse to accept advice and act to do what's right.
Following Queensland's lead, where today there were 16 new cases.
So it's good, encouraging that all of the new cases again can be directly linked.
A glimmer of hope for the lockdown South East.
Let's see if we can lift those restrictions on Sunday.
But in Sydney, there's no end in sight.
New South Wales recording its worst day in both cases.
Unfortunately, we did have 262 cases of community transmission.
At least 45 of those were infectious in the community.
And deaths.
And I do also sadly want to report that five people lost their lives.
Beyond Greater Sydney, the Hunter region is now an area of concern.
There have been some cases in that region.
We now think that the source originated from a gathering on Blacksmith Beach on Friday night.
As a result, there will be a one-week lockdown in the Hunter and Upper Hunter region.
The state receiving a boost in vaccines.
New South Wales will be receiving an extra 180,000 doses of Pfizer.
We haven't taken those doses from other states or territories.
Those doses to go back to the regions Pfizer jabs were taken from to vaccinate HSC students.
So I'm very relieved about that.
As the Premier pushes...
Vaccination is absolutely key to our way out of this.
And the PM insists the primary tool to end the lockdown in Sydney is the success of the lockdown in Sydney.
A refreshing call for unity.
This is not a Victorian issue.
This is an Australian issue.
And in fact, it's a global issue.
So we've got to get out there.
We've got to do the right thing.
Professor Emma McBride is an infectious diseases physician and epidemiologist at James Cook University and she joins us now.
Professor, hard and fast is the new lockdown mantra.
Has Victoria made the right decision here?
Well, sadly, I think yes, it has.
I've been outspoken against lockdowns in the past, but this is a different situation.
Delta is different from the original strain.
So unfortunately, hard, fast and hopefully short, that's the new rule, yes.
That, I mean, it's too bad you don't have the visuals to go with it, but that is some mind control right there.
Just blasting into your brain, followed up with, yeah, I was against the lockdowns, but, you know, as a doctor, as you can see by my lab coat, I think we've made the right decision here with this Delta variant.
With 16 people sick?
16 cases?
I mean, holy crap!
Yeah, they should have long ago gotten back to high school and required people to take statistics.
Yeah.
Which they used to do in the olden days.
Kids in high school would learn how to deal with numbers and what they mean.
16 out of the entire population?
Yeah.
Well, they have a zero COVID policy and they mean it.
There are more flu deaths than that.
They have a zero flu death policy.
Oh, that's coming.
That's coming.
People are sending me pictures of their doctor's offices, particularly the NHS. So that's the UK. And it says, you know, flu can spread even if you're not symptomatic.
Oh yeah, that's the new one now.
You can kill granny with the flu.
Everybody's typhoid Mary.
That's right.
Now, I have the clip.
It's too long.
I don't want to play it.
So the restrictions in Alberta, Canada were lifted, apparently.
Said it purposefully.
No masks.
I've been looking around for some details on this, and I saw the same thing.
The reason you don't play the clip is because there's nothing in the clip.
Well, let me just explain what Patrick King says.
Patrick King was fined for being outside, whatever.
He violated some COVID rule and he took the state to court and he said, well, if you can at least show me the isolated virus that you can actually fine me for something that's real, then I'll be willing to pay the fine.
And they kept canceling his court case.
And so the implication is that they could not produce the evidence.
And the timing of removal of some restrictions is now seen.
I mean, the Albertans who are sending this are like, that's right, bitch, we did it!
We've proven it's all fake!
I'm not so sure.
What did you come up with, John, in your research?
I couldn't come up with anything.
I mean, the premise for that clip, which was on Bitchute, by the way...
I was looking for some other source material, but that seemed to be it.
Well, and I don't want to do an aside right now, but I think I will.
Okay.
When I get on Bitchute, it's a real problem for me.
Because it goes from one thing to another to another, and they're all nuts.
And...
So I do have to play.
This was a COVID vaccine.
I want to play this.
This is the transhuman clip, which I picked up on Bitchu, which I think followed the clip that you're talking about.
Very possible, yes.
Hour and 25 minutes.
I have a small piece of the clip.
They kept showing people with the magnetic effect.
Yeah, this is 5G. 5G is going to alter your...
5G, a hammer, the guy had a hammer sticking to him, you know.
I mean, it was one thing after another, and it was mostly music with just visuals, but for an hour and a half, by the way.
I only watched a little bit of it.
No, stuff is good, man.
Stuff is good.
Wait a minute.
No, wait.
It wasn't BitChute.
It was Rumble.
I'm sorry.
I think you're wrong.
It was Rumble.
I think I'm right, and it was BitChute.
Okay.
Because I didn't...
Believe me, when I go to Rumble, I'm very aware of being there.
Okay.
All right.
This is BitChute.
So, what difference does it make?
Well, because I... Rumble, BitChute.
Hey, come on, man.
Come on, man.
Are you discrediting the content by the domain name?
And so, I did get a little of the voiceover that comes in, and this is an example of what you get on BitChute.
Now, I don't think most of you understand what's going on.
And a lot of you think this is funny.
This is not funny.
They have changed your electromagnetic field of your body.
I don't think you really are understanding or understanding how serious this is.
You have been turned into a transmitter.
You are actually shedding synthetic egg proteins.
You are a GMO human now.
You are not...
I don't think this is considered human anymore.
You no longer have a natural human electromagnetic field.
You're not producing that anymore.
You are a receiver for the systems that they're putting in place.
5G is a military weapon.
They're connecting you.
DARPA, does that ring a bell?
You no longer have a natural electromagnetic field around you.
It's all synthetic.
You are not human anymore.
This isn't funny.
This is sick.
What's happening to you?
You need to wake up.
This is not okay.
Wow!
Well done!
I love this.
That's almost, you know, this person, whoever produced this, has a career at Channel 10 in Australia.
It's the same urgency.
People fall for both, I think.
You know what, unfortunately, it brings to mind?
Whatever happened to the amazing Polly?
No, she's still around.
She still does her YouTubes.
I've seen her.
I've seen her.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
No, I've still seen her do some stuff.
So this is the kind of thing you get on these fringe videos, which is fine.
It's very entertaining, except that they're too long.
They're...
I mean, it sounds...
Yeah, she's...
It's nuts.
Well, the graphene oxide, which supposedly is part of the lipids that's covering the nanoparticle, but is not on the patent because, of course, it's trade secret, therefore they had to hide it.
This is where it breaks down.
That's supposedly in the vaccine, and that's why there's magnetic, and of course the vaccine goes everywhere into your brain, and that's why the 5G will interact.
But this started with David Icke two years ago.
David Icke started with the 5G, and David Icke has been right about a lot of things, and he's very consistent about this interaction.
I don't think he's really on the graphene oxide tip, but he's very clear about 5G. And, um, I don't know how, if these vaccines actually would ever interact with that, but for sure you're now owned by Monsanto.
I mean, that's obvious.
The seeds that Monsanto bakes are theirs, and, you know, so these vaccines, whoever owns the patent, probably that Collins guy, he probably owns us.
I didn't get the vaccine, so why am I owned?
Oh, I'm not owned either.
But we're going to be in big trouble.
We're in big trouble.
Now, I can't find the Red Book currently because it's still in a box somewhere that I have not unpacked, and it's okay.
But I am quite sure that I said, hey, man, we're going to get vaccine passports to get into stuff.
You know, you generally just ad lib what you think you put in the Red Book.
But I'm going to give you this.
You have...
Early on, and I poo-pooed it, and I still poo-pooed because it doesn't exist.
But you have been early on predicting this.
What doesn't exist?
There's no passport for vaccines.
Oh, a vaccination passport in New York required.
I mean, no positive...
I don't care.
What do you mean you don't care?
New York's nuts.
They were shut down, locked down.
They're crazy in New York.
Now they're having protests over this.
Well, hold on.
New York's a nightmare.
I'm not going to New York to go to a play if I have to have a card or a passport.
No, I know, but let's just listen to what they're doing and how this is being played because it's going to come everywhere.
It's not just...
Allow me to present, please.
It won't take long.
Here's the mayor, current mayor of New York.
So today I announce a new approach, which we're calling the Key to NYC Pass.
The Key to New York City.
When you hear those words, I want you to imagine the notion that because someone's vaccinated, they can do all the amazing things that are available in this city.
This is a miraculous place, literally full of wonders.
Like pee in the corner, pick up poop.
What's the amazing things you can do there now?
Let's not distract from his message.
That are available in this city.
This is a miraculous place, literally full of wonders.
And if you're vaccinated, all that's going to open up to you.
You'll have the key.
You can open the door.
But if you're unvaccinated, unfortunately you will not be able to participate in many things.
That's the point we're trying to get across.
It's time for people to see vaccination as literally necessary to living a good and full and healthy life.
Your papers, please.
Okay, so he does expand on the full things of New York City you can enjoy, which is more than poop on the street and pee, and he talked about it on CBS. Let's talk about mandates.
So you're going to mandate vaccines for folks going indoors.
How does this affect kids, by the way, who aren't eligible for vaccination?
Look, we welcome kids, of course, to restaurants and movies.
I can stop.
So I think this is interesting what they did here.
He never mandated anything.
Correct.
But they slip it in.
CBS slips in the word mandate as if it's a mandate to get the public used to the idea.
Correct.
Correct.
Oh, yeah.
Very tricky.
They're still doing it wrong, but, you know, we'll hear and hear about it.
Not doing it right.
I mean, they need the Courage DeVere Consulting Group if they really want to do it.
But let's listen to this.
They can't figure it out.
Let's talk about mandates.
So you're going to mandate vaccines for folks going indoors.
How does this affect kids, by the way, who aren't eligible for vaccination?
Wait, stop.
Stop.
It's even worse than I thought.
He says you're going to mandate vaccine for people going indoors?
You can't even go into your own house now?
What is he implying?
He said you're going to mandate vaccines for people going indoors.
That means going into your own house.
Can I ask you a question?
Where is the door-to-door vax squad?
What happened to that?
I'm waiting.
They're lying.
They're lying about everything.
They just lie, these people.
Totally.
Here, let's see if we can get through the first three seconds this time.
I'm sorry.
So you're going to mandate vaccines for folks going indoors.
How does this affect kids, by the way, who aren't eligible for vaccination?
Look, we welcome kids, of course.
Of course.
To restaurants.
Because we like to drink their blood.
Movie theaters, etc.
Wear a mask.
That's a smart thing to do.
And hopefully soon our 5 to 11 year olds will be eligible for vaccination on top of that.
But we don't want to separate families.
We want families to enjoy stuff together.
But in a safe environment for the folks who work in restaurants, gyms, etc., and for the customers.
Here's what I love about it.
You go into an environment, you know everyone's in the same place.
You know everyone's vaccinated, everyone's safe.
I know someone who lives in the city would give me peace of mind to know going in the gym, everyone's vaccinated.
Going to the restaurant, everyone's vaccinated.
But do you think it could affect tourism?
No.
First of all, we're in a city right now about 5 million people who have gotten at least one dose.
So plenty of New Yorkers ready to go.
Suburbs, even higher levels of vaccination.
Tourists, the people coming here.
More likely that they are vaccinated as well from all of our studies.
Look, in the end, this guarantees the safety of everyone involved.
And it's also going to encourage a lot of people.
Just take that next step.
Follow Sue.
Especially, look, young people need...
I can say I have two 20-somethings.
Sometimes young people need a little encouragement.
They want to go to restaurants and bars and concerts.
Get vaccinated and you're in, right?
Mayor, they need a little encouragement repeatedly.
Yes.
Amen.
Amen.
So de Blasio has done, he's put together this key to NYC, which is an over-bridging system that recognizes all the others, such as the Excelsior pass.
These are not negative test passes.
These are purely for vaccination.
They really mean it.
And in fact, de Blasio accentuated that.
We tried voluntary.
We could not have been more kind and compassionate as a country.
Free testing.
Everywhere you turn.
Incentives.
Friendly, warm embrace.
The voluntary phase is over.
The voluntary phase is over.
Now, before we go to the pros in Australia, I have a hate clip!
Hate clip!
Hate clip!
Yes.
And it's on this very topic.
And I thought I was going to be very disappointed that my favorite hate listen, the pivot podcast with Kara Schwisher and Professor Scott Galloway, I thought it would suck when he was on vacation.
But instead, oh my, oh my, my hate trough was filled to the brim when Stephanie Ruhl, MSNBC host, former Favorite of the boys at the trading desk at Deutsche Bank came on to discuss mandatory vaccines.
Now these are the liberal intellectual elites and it's very important that we listen to what they have to say and what their thinking is because...
Unbelievable.
I'm sorry?
Unbelievable.
What's unbelievable?
These are the liberal, one-time liberal intellectual elites The newest trend in corporate America is vaccine mandates.
Walmart, Disney, Facebook, Google are requiring some or all of their employees to be vaccinated to come to work.
Walmart and Disney are two of the country's largest private employers.
Here's a list of companies that are requiring some or all of their employees to be vaccinated to come to work.
Netflix, Saks Fifth Avenue, BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, Delta and United Airlines for new employees only, by the way.
Morgan Stanley, The Washington Post, which was a surprise to me.
Lyft, Uber, Twitter.
What do you think?
It's not just employees.
Restaurants and Broadway shows are starting to require ticket holders and indoor dinners to show proof of vaccination.
Will this work or produce a backlash, Stephanie?
Who cares if it produces a backlash?
They damn well should, right?
In France, every day we could turn on the TV and say, look at the protesters.
What are there, a thousand protesters, 10,000 protesters?
The first week Emmanuel Macron put the mandate in place, almost 4 million people in France got vaccinated.
It works.
And I guess I'm angry because for all the noise corporate America gives us about, you know, wanting to do the right thing and being leaders for social justice and writing letters for voting rights.
Here's something they absolutely can do to protect our country.
to protect their employees, to also pay back the government who just bailed out businesses big and small to the tune of trillions of dollars and now do your part.
Businesses have that giant carrot that you're always going to have anti-vaxxers over here, right?
They're over here.
But in the middle are all of these people, and especially youngish people, who are like, I'm healthy, I don't really need it.
But if you say to that person, great, well, you can't go to work, can't go to a bar, can't go to the gym, and can't go to your favorite sporting event, they're going to run out and get vaccinated.
And I think it's super selfish and short-sighted that businesses...
Remember when we first got the vaccines, we kept hearing...
People who are fully vaccinated were able to go to this store without a mask on.
When was the last time anyone asked you your vaccination status when you walked in a store?
When I'm in a store and I see people with masks on, they don't seem to be people who aren't vaccinated.
More likely, they're people who are being extra cautious.
This will be the next big wave of people getting vaccinated.
And I think when the vaccines go from emergency approval...
It's almost over.
No, you've got to back it up a little bit.
Okay.
This is sounding like...
Kara Swisher seems like she's the audience in a black church.
She's doing...
That's where I preach.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, as the woman goes on and on with her rant, Kara's going, yeah, that's right.
Oh, yeah.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She's in the background making all these blurbs.
It's like...
It's pathetic, but...
So back at me so you can hear a little of that.
Okay.
Okay.
So pay back the government who just bailed out businesses big and small to the tune of trillions of dollars and now do your part.
Businesses have that giant carrot.
You're always going to have anti-vaxxers over here.
But in the middle are all of these people.
What the hell was that song she made there anyway?
Hold on, what was that?
Anti-vaxxers.
And now, do your part.
Businesses have that giant carrot that you're always going to have anti-vaxxers over here.
Right?
Does she agree?
Or what is that?
That's a very interesting sound you made there, Kara.
You're always going to have anti-vaxxers over here, right?
But in the middle are all of these people, and especially young-ish people, who are like, I'm healthy, I don't really need it.
But if you say to that person, great, well, you can't go to work, can't go to a bar, can't go to the gym, and can't go to your favorite sporting event, they're going to run out and get vaccinated.
And I think it's super selfish and short-sighted that businesses...
Remember when we first got the vaccines, we kept hearing...
People who are fully vaccinated were able to go to this store without a mask on.
When was the last time anyone asked you your vaccination status when you walked in a store?
When I'm in a store and I see people with masks on, they don't seem to be people who aren't vaccinated.
More likely, they're people who are being extra cautious.
This will be the next big wave of people getting vaccinated.
And I think when the vaccines go from emergency approval to full approval, you'll see a lot more businesses do it.
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.
Come on, man.
Those people want it.
I was reminded of a book we talked about years ago called In the Garden of the Beast.
Ah, yes.
And this is a U.S. diplomat and he writes about himself and his findings, his experiences, his family.
Especially the experience of his daughter who was dating the head of the...
Gestapo for a while.
And how the German people got to the point where they were like, yeah, you know what?
Jews.
And that only took a few years.
It didn't take long.
And I just want to...
In the Garden of the Beast.
It's a very interesting book.
It's an excellent book.
He's a bestseller.
I want to remind Stephanie Rule and Kara Schwisher what we did to the collaborators after the war.
We shaved their heads and marched them through the streets.
Be prepared.
I mean that.
I really do.
I think...
These are enemies, these people.
Okay, you can soften it.
They're enemies of the people.
They're my enemies.
Just like, wow.
I mean, yeah.
So that's what it comes down to.
How woke is your company?
There's no thought that goes into any of this.
There's no skepticism.
There's just lockstep obedience.
It's borderline pathetic.
And that's a Vox Media property, but Kara Swisher is a New York Times.
She's a part of the system.
I find that really, really disturbing that these people are so cavalier about it.
Oh yeah, absolutely, just force them!
You can't have a job, kid!
So yeah, they're enemies.
But again, they're not doing it right.
And then we can stop with the passports.
But again, it's Channel 10 on Australia.
They know what they're doing over there.
You want to scare the people?
Here's what's coming to the United States in six months from now.
There are few things that symbolize the loss of freedom caused by COVID more than empty airports and endless rows of mothballed passenger planes.
The plans are in motion for a return to quarantine-free international travel with the introduction of vaccine passports in the form of a QR code you can download from your VAX certificate on your MyGov account and keep in a digital wallet.
It's a simple enough idea, but there are some big questions about how this will work in the real world.
At this stage, there isn't a common standard, but there is an organisation working on that called the COVID Credentialing Initiative.
So they'll need to have that common standard so that we can share information, doesn't matter where you get vaccinated.
Because once we open the borders for global travel, especially international students to Australia, we need to be able to verify those details no matter where they come from in the world.
Michael Ma already operates a service that allows workers in heavily regulated industries like medicine and disability care to store their vax records, qualifications...
And police checks.
Holy shit, I missed that the first time.
Vax records and police checks.
Oh my goodness.
to store their VAX records, qualifications and police checks in a secure cloud-based system for employers to access.
We're in discussion with multiple government departments at both state and federal levels.
They move at different speeds.
It's very frustrating.
They're not coordinating at this stage, and so we have different discussions with education versus health versus aged care.
Another potential hurdle is that different countries are using different vaccines.
AstraZeneca hasn't been approved in the US. China's Sinovac hasn't been approved here.
I think Australians need to get used to the idea of jab, click, share.
You're going to need it for workplaces, for travel, maybe even attending your kid's school, picking him up from childcare.
It's going to be a new reality for all of us for a long time.
A new reality.
While most Aussies are okay with the idea of a vaccine passport to travel, a smaller majority is cool with providing that same proof to enter a concert, bar or restaurant.
But there are concerns about the security of our private health information and the fact that the current vaccine certificates can be easily forged or doctored.
With so many details yet to be ironed out, will the government have a working system ready in time to reward those who get their shots?
Interesting.
It's a pickle, isn't it?
It is a pickle.
That's the lead-in to these two jabronis who got their first words.
Well, that's a pickle.
That's quite a pickle, isn't it?
It's quite a pickle.
Will they be able to get it in time to reward those who jabbed, clicked, and shared?
Jab, click, share.
There's a jingle there.
Jab, click, share.
Win, lose, or drone!
Jab!
Jab!
Click!
Share!
Meanwhile, let's play the COVID travel restrictions clip that I have here, which brings up a number of interesting issues.
Okay.
Which one is it?
COVID restrictions, travel, something like that.
Yeah, that's what I'm looking for.
Oh, I see it.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, got it.
The Biden administration is taking steps to eventually require all foreign visitors to show proof that they've been vaccinated against the coronavirus.
U.S. restrictions on travel to certain countries during the pandemic remain in effect.
Meanwhile, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki says the U.S. is ready to deal with the massive surge in COVID cases.
We also, at the same time, are prepared if the FDA decides that they are going to recommend a booster.
That is why we ordered the number of doses we did order several months ago, because we are like Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts and always want to be prepared.
Oh, it's not the Girl Scouts marching song.
It's the Boy Scouts marching song.
But you want to be like a girl, Scott, if you're a girl.
Okay, so how does this rule apply to the border crossings of hundreds of thousands of people and they don't test for anything, but yet if you fly in on an airline or you come in over the Canadian border, however you're going to get to the United States, you have to have proof of vaccination.
Do all the people coming in from the southern border have to have proof of vaccination?
No.
I think I suggested...
How come they're exempt?
What makes them exempt?
What makes them so special?
They're not Americans.
They get treated with preference.
No, you're right.
They're not Americans.
They get preferential treatment and they get to vote Democrat.
Yeah, I mean, I've said for a while now, this is...
Abbott is not doing enough.
All these governors, they don't have big talk, really.
It's all sad.
It's just all sad.
But to your point, there's something going on in the UK that needs to be discussed that even the brilliant Dr.
Collins can't answer.
You know, one of the things we've seen in England is a huge drop in cases in the last couple of weeks, even as they've opened up.
And they were so worried about the surge earlier this summer.
How do you explain it?
Should we expect that as well?
It's kind of puzzling, George.
Kind of puzzling!
Let me see.
So they completely lifted everything and said, screw it, just go ahead, we're going to let it run rampant, we'll see where we wind up.
What about the science?
It's kind of puzzling, George.
It's kind of puzzling, George.
I don't know that most of us were expecting to see that.
Is that because this variant is so wildly contagious that you've actually seen the point arrive where most people have gotten infected, or at least enough, anyway, that you're starting to get to herd immunity from natural infection?
That's not something we want to see happen, because that's going to cost a lot of lives.
Okay.
He...
Wait, wait.
He theorizes here.
Now listen to what he's saying.
He theorizes here by asking it in a question because, you know, science.
Is that because it's so contagious that people just, it just ran rampant and everyone's got it?
We don't want that here because that cost people's lives except it didn't in the UK. Yeah.
So the guy's self-contradictory.
In the same sentence.
His analysis totally sucks him.
Yes.
It seems.
It's going to cost lives.
Why didn't it cost lives?
It cost lives there.
Voila!
Where most people have gotten infected, or at least enough anyway, that you're starting to get to herd immunity from natural infection.
That's not something we want to see happen, because that's going to cost a lot of lives.
I can't believe any doctor would even say such a thing.
But yet, there it is.
But it's interesting to see that drop.
And there are people like Scott Gottlieb saying that's going to happen here, too.
I think he's in the minority.
I think most of the projections...
Why laugh, a-hole?
What's so funny?
What's so funny, dick?
There are people like Scott Gottlieb saying that's going to happen here, too.
I think he's in the minority.
I think most of the projections...
Because, you know, I think he was with Trump.
We're in for a really tough August, September, October.
Oh, okay.
We're in for a really tough August, September, October.
Get ready for it.
We're not going to get any no-herd immunity now.
The best thing we can do to try to mute that very steady rise in the curve is to get more people vaccinated as quickly as possible.
So if somebody's listening who's been on the fence, listen to that story from the guy in the ICU who wished he'd gotten vaccinated.
Look at the There's your story.
The final text to his wife was, I should have gotten the damn vaccine.
Come on, folks.
We have enough evidence now not to question the safety and efficacy of these vaccines.
There is no more reason to hold back.
Exactly.
But this is the point.
The guy rolls out the damn talking point again, which was on every local station with a local patient, local guy with a 10-foot mic pole.
But the restrictions to the UK, they've been lifted!
Starting tomorrow, American travelers and indeed visitors from most of Europe can finally come back to the UK without the need for self-isolation upon arrival, as long as they have proof of a full dose of vaccinations approved by either the FDA or the European Medicines Agency.
Visitors will also need to take COVID tests before and after their trip as part of the new rules.
It's hoped that this will allow not just for more tourist trips to Britain, but also there's a lot of business travelers that haven't come across the pond for months since before the second wave.
Meanwhile, over in Paris, mass protests against vaccine passports have now entered their third week.
Police in full riot gear deployed to the streets to keep order among the thousands of people very angry at government plans for a vaccine pass that will soon be needed to enter restaurants and other venues.
There you go.
Now, talking about your mom earlier, there's a report that came out in the Telegraph, an official NHS, National Health System document, that's the British health system, Shows that NHF staff were told respiratory depressing drugs, quote, should not be withheld due to inappropriate concerns about using them to treat COVID-19.
And this drug is midazolam, which is used in old folks' facilities to help people die.
Yeah, it's a drug to kill you.
Yes.
And so they were administering that pretty much under order.
It's like, well, you should just give them this.
Do not resuscitate.
Give them a little bit of midazolam.
Where'd you get that story?
From the Telegraph.
I'm looking at it right here.
Holy moly.
That's not good.
Yeah.
Well, do you think that could have happened anywhere else?
A reminder.
Yeah.
New York City?
Yes.
Andrew Cuomo, the governor.
Those charges have been dropped.
There's no investigation.
There's no investigation into that.
Well, you know, I knew you were going to bring this.
I have a bunch of Cuomo clips we'll get to when we're done with COVID. Okay, good.
But I knew you'd bring that up, and I'm going to just mention something.
Al Capone ended up spending the rest of his life in jail on tax evasion.
This is true.
This is true.
But it's kind of sad.
It's a shame that Cuomo wasn't arrested and in jail right now and maybe put on death row for killing 13,000 people in old folks' homes.
Mm-hmm.
But no, that's not going to happen.
That investigation has been dropped by the wannabe Supreme Court Justice Garland or whatever his name is.
Merrick Garland.
They're getting him on something else.
Well, let's look at the other end of the spectrum.
Let's look at the unborn and the pregnant women.
We need some official information.
If you've been wondering and you are pregnant and you're concerned, should you accept this or reject this vaccination?
Dr.
Jen Ashton from Good Morning America, Hour 3, tells you it's all okay.
ACOG, the American College of OBGYN, now strongly recommending that all eligible women get vaccinated.
This includes women who are pregnant in any trimester and or women who are breastfeeding.
Why did they finally make this sweeping recommendation?
Now they have enough data.
Tens of thousands of women who were pregnant and received the vaccine establishing the safety profile of these COVID-19 authorized vaccines.
And because the risk is so high, pregnant women are at increased risk of hospitalization, complications, and death due to this virus.
And people certainly know you're a board-certified OBGYN. What else jumps out at you now that pregnant women need to keep in mind?
Well, a lot of moving parts here.
So for a woman who is pregnant and hearing this news or considering being pregnant, you don't need a pregnancy test prior to getting the COVID-19 vaccine.
All three authorized vaccines cannot, I repeat, cannot change our DNA or cause miscarriage.
So that should reassure people.
Cannot cause miscarriage.
And in terms of the benefits, there is early published data that suggests that antibodies that a woman makes after receiving the vaccine Can be passed to the fetus and the baby's milk.
So, I mean, don't you feel good about that?
No problem, no.
Just go for it.
It's all going to be good.
Go for it.
Actually, go for it is the theme.
Go for it.
What's it going to do?
Kill a few people?
Who cares?
I want it.
I only have, let's see, two more things here that I need to do.
I have one left.
Go ahead.
Whatever you got.
This one I thought was weird because it came in out of the blue and it's something that, this report goes on a lot longer than this clip.
But this is the COVID versus the RSV versus the nurses.
RSV.
The symptoms are familiar.
Fever, runny nose, coughing, trouble breathing.
But we're not talking about COVID.
Doctors in many states are seeing an unexpected spike in children contracting another respiratory virus.
It's called RSV, and it normally emerges in colder months, which makes its presence this summer troubling.
Oklahoma is one of the states that's seen a big rise in pediatric RSV cases.
Cameron Mantra is Chief Medical Officer of Oklahoma Children's Hospital in Oklahoma City.
Welcome to All Things Considered.
Thank you.
I'm glad to be here.
Does this look like what you would expect to see in the winter?
Is it worse than that?
I mean, paint a picture for us.
So, no, it's fairly similar to what we see in the winter.
We have patients that are in the hospital, particularly young children who can get quite ill, be in the ICU, be on a ventilator, have true respiratory failure from this virus.
Currently, when we look at the recent spikes, it's not quite to the percent positive that we have seen at our highest peaks in the winter times, but it's getting very close.
I know it's been a grueling 18 months of the pandemic.
Do you have the nursing and medical staff to attend to this spike in pediatric patients?
It is a concern.
Staffing is unquestionably a concern.
There are days when we can't fill all of our physical beds because we simply do not have enough nurses.
There are days when we have had to transfer patients away from our emergency room, even out of state.
It happens very It's taking constant diligence, and there's no question that nursing staffing is a concern of ours right now.
Oh my God, it's just another version of 2019-2020.
What's happening now is people are entering the hospital system with all kinds of severe syndromes.
They're being tested.
Oh, you got COVID. Boom, COVID. Mark it down as COVID. But they're overrun with people who have all these other issues they've been waiting to get taken care of.
And there's evidence of this.
There's a new website.
It's called the C19 Vaccine Reactions.
Now that there's the official CDC database, you pretty much, you know, you can't get into it.
It's a mess.
People are just posting.
All the Facebook groups are being shut down.
So people are posting their own experiences on websites where, you know, doctors, et cetera, are getting together and they're decentralizing away from Silicon Valley.
And I just wanted to, the top one is they have stories and videos.
This is a nurse.
And you can see, you know, it's blurred.
It's a dark background.
They've changed her voice.
But what she has to say rings pretty true across all of the testimonials on this website.
I'm a healthcare worker for a smaller community hospital on the East Coast.
I've worked at my hospital for well over 15 years now, and I've noticed an unbelievable increase in the census of patients that we are getting admitted to the hospital following the vaccine rollout.
When the vaccines rolled out, our hospital census kind of skyrocketed.
And it's been that way ever since.
Most of our hospitals are at critical capacity on an everyday basis now, even in the middle of summer.
We are seeing a huge uptick in strokes, heart attacks, things like that.
Blood clots are big.
We see a lot of pulmonary emboli and deep vein thrombosis.
It's really interesting that it correlates with the vaccine rollout.
And all of these, you know, these conditions that I'm talking about are in people who have been vaccinated.
Out of my daily census that I have, probably 90% of my patients are vaccinated.
And so many of them are on their third I don't know.
But it's interesting.
You can't even really talk about it.
You can't even really bring it up.
If you bring up the possibility that it's correlated in any way to the vaccine, you're ridiculed, laughed at, made fun of, being told you're an anti-vaxxer, causing vaccine hesitancy, all kinds of things.
I believe it.
I totally believe this.
Very credible, except for the voice.
And so the Occam's razor portion is the vaccine, it's antibody dependency enhancement.
People are getting sick from vaccinations in general.
You know, the blood clots are not uncommon with any vaccination, but we've never really paid any attention to it.
We didn't, you know, like we kind of didn't really pay attention to HPV shots and what was going on there.
Well, we did.
So people are coming in with all kinds of vaccine-related issues, which you can't talk about as a medical professional, but they're the ones clogging up the system.
But in essence, the vaccines don't work, and they have batch after batch expiring this month.
They need the FDA approval to be able to utilize that and to unload and ship more.
And I think they're just like, shit, let's do one last push, and I'm changing my mind.
It's going to get approved by the FDA. These people are sick and maniacal, and they are sick.
Billions involved.
And what's happening with...
Making the bonuses.
But if you read, like, The Atlantic, which I do not read often...
But this is the Laureen Powell Jobs funded operations.
They used to have a great reputation.
But when you get headlines like, unvaccinated people need to bear the burden.
Unvaccinated people should just not be allowed to even go out on the street.
I mean, they're really, really, really ramping this up.
And again, back to 2019, 2020, when we pulled apart the whole PCR bullcrap test in the first place, this is a follow-up to that, how it has changed the medical terms that have been in place for centuries, maybe.
This is a podcast, Allison Morrow, but she has on Julia Bach, who's a senior associate scientist at Amgen.
And she explains in this clip how PCR, which was, according to its inventor, never intended to be used as a diagnostic tool, is changing the definition of sick.
Do you think the PCR test is the gold standard for COVID diagnosis?
No.
Well, let's think about how we used to practice medicine before this all started.
You know, what would happen?
You would feel sick.
You'd have some symptoms.
You'd go see your doctor.
Maybe your doctor would do a rapid test in their office, which is usually not a PCR test.
Usually that's an antigen test.
It's something that will turn a color or something like that if the antigen that they're looking for is present.
That's different from a PCR test.
Then, so let's say you thought you had strep.
So maybe they do a rapid strep test in the office.
First, you'd have the symptoms, right?
And your doctor would say, yes, I think I should test you for this.
And then they would say, you know, but let's send it out for culture.
You remember maybe hearing that.
Well, then they would take a sample and they would send it to a laboratory that would grow it in their lab for a few days and say, yep, this is definitely strep.
Or, nope, this is definitely not strep.
Your rapid test was wrong.
So really, there are like three things there that would need to happen before they would say, you have strep.
The doctor would check your symptoms, he'd do a rapid test, and then he'd send a test out for culture.
So sending a test out for culture...
It confirms that not only is the microorganism present that causes that illness, but that it's actually active.
It's growing.
So a PCR test can tell you whether a virus is present or absent, because like I said, the gene I'm looking for is either present or it's absent.
But it can't tell you what condition that particular gene or virus The microorganism is in.
So you can have a bit of genomic material that's there, and maybe it'll register in the PCR test, but it's not actually replicating.
So we've even changed the definition of sick, infected, and I know the guy from the FDA says this is the gold standard.
Well, the gold standard in terms of what?
It's the gold standard maybe in terms of Sure, it's a fancy test.
It's a very accurate test in terms of, yes, the virus is present, no, it's not present, but it doesn't actually tell you whether the virus is actually active.
So really, a cell-based assay, in my opinion, would be the gold standard because then it tells you, yes, it's present, and yes, it's active.
Guess what's not going to happen?
I'm not going to have any T-cell-based assay anytime soon.
That's not happening.
Anytime soon.
The number should be too low.
We need those numbers.
Well, they do need them.
You don't know where the commercialism stops and the ideology begins, unfortunately.
Because Collins especially, he's on the Vatican's special Starfleet command board.
He's the one that has been telling the Pope it's okay.
Even if you're Catholic, it's cool.
You can have this vaccination.
No problem.
No problem.
You know, you don't really know where, again, it's the marketing and what is necessary.
I don't think anything, any of it's necessary.
These people in Australia may not even be really sick.
They just have a PCR test that's positive.
It's crazy.
I've got one clip here about science is clearly some kind of religion for many people, now that they have nothing else to believe in.
And COVID has a lot of very interesting analogs with religious beliefs.
This is, again, from a podcast, but I thought you'd like to hear it.
Let me, if you'll permit me, Father, I want to lay this out to you as I've been thinking about it, and I want you to correct me.
As I've been watching this whole thing unfold, with the weird dancing clergy, which I think is part of the liturgy of the anti-church, alongside the six-feet-apart They've got their sacramentals, which is the face covering designed to mask the magnificence of your human face created in the image of God.
The hand sanitizer is their new sacramental as well.
It substitutes out for holy water.
I think you can go line by line.
The experimental gene therapy is their sacrament.
It's a baptism.
It's derived from their high sacrament of abortion, which is their Eucharist.
I think there's a linkage.
I think they're mocking us.
I think Satan is mocking us, and unfortunately so many people have fallen into it.
At the outset, am I crazy?
I love the Godcasters these days.
A lot of interesting discussions.
Especially when it comes to Revelations.
Pretty good.
So, Revelations, you know, this is something that we've always talked about.
I know I've brought it up from the beginning of our show.
It's like the Mark of the Beast, which comes from Revelation 13, 16.
And he causes all the small and the great and the rich and the poor and the free men and the slaves to be given a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads.
But I've never really read past that, because, you know, mark of the beast, 666, ah, the vaccine, it's the chip, it's whatever it is.
So let's say the vaccine is the mark of the beast.
Verse 17 is what I didn't realize of Revelation, because 16 continues...
On the right hand or on their forehead, he provides that no one will be able to buy or sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.
I can see where people equate that to papers.
Okay, I have the mark.
I've got the beast.
Now I can buy and sell stuff in a restaurant.
I can eat something.
I get it.
Well, that's sick, but okay.
What do you mean it's sick?
People who think that?
Revelations.
You can go nuts with revelations.
Of course you can.
Of course.
Of course.
I advise avoiding it.
I do have a little letter from a guy, though, that has a little...
Wait, do you advise avoiding revelations?
Yes, I advise avoiding.
That's a good Catholic boy you are, John.
Avoid revelations.
I have a note from a Catholic.
Okay.
On Sunday's show, you talked about the exemption from the vaccine mandates that those have sincerely held religious beliefs.
I can verify that for Catholics at least.
It's very possible.
My daughter attends a private Catholic university that is mandating the COVID-19 vaccine for students next fall.
But they allow religious exemptions, especially the Catholic ones.
And here's what she used, quote, as a Catholic and in accordance with the instruction...
Yes, correct.
I have a moral duty to avoid such passive material cooperation and I will not take part.
Yes.
And so I know, so there's a couple things going on with this because I've received many emails from people asking me, what is that?
What is that line?
What is that line?
They all found it.
The first thing that's happening is employers are doing something very sneaky.
They're asking employees to attest their vaccination status.
Could you please attest to your vaccine?
Which is not asking you if you are vaccinated.
It's asking you to attest, voluntarily give up this information, which I think is surely some legal trap.
So that, you know, they can say, oh, well.
And I'm not so sure that the hospitals are going to let personnel out on a religious exemption.
In fact, I'm seeing evidence they're not.
There is...
Well, you know, we played a clip earlier about the shortage of nurses and we had, meanwhile, half the nursing staff of the hospital in Houston, Texas, walk off the job because they wouldn't get the jab.
And there's a nursing shortage.
I mean, these guys are going to have to make up their mind on whether they want to service the public or they're going to just go along with the Pfizer program.
Oh my God, it's only good if they have less nursing staff, more stories about how the hospitals are full, more money for them.
I think it's good.
These people have no shame.
By the way, there is an out for everybody.
And several lawyers have looked at this.
Now, if you're a vegan...
And you can prove that you're vegan.
You can probably be exempt.
But most importantly, if you can claim you're an ethical vegan, this is important.
A spokesman for Louis Silken, a law firm, said ethical vegans can disagree with vaccinations on the basis that they will inevitably have been tested on animals.
Ethical veganism has previously been found to be an employment to amount to a belief capable of being protected.
And that's kind of a cool conundrum because you can say, look, it's ethical and they may have been tested on animals.
They can't say, well, they weren't tested on animals because everyone says they were, even though they weren't really.
Ethical vegan may be a way out, but quite honestly, we shouldn't be pussies about it.
We should just say, screw you!
You shouldn't force me to do that.
Says the podcaster working from home.
Yeah, exactly.
I understand the problem.
University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin.
Someone sent me a screenshot.
They're just a contractor.
They don't even work in the school.
Went to the library website, which you have to log into as a contractor doing whatever this person is doing.
Bing, bing, bing.
UW-Madison does not have a record of your COVID-19 vaccine.
And right there it says, submit vaccine records, get vaccinated.
Before you can log in.
Come on!
This is crazy.
It's crazy.
That's a good one.
Crazy.
Oh, these university people have gone off the deep end.
You know, Mark Dice, I couldn't get any good clips from it.
Mark Dice, the comedian, he went out and I guess he does this in Santa Monica or somewhere.
I get the same problem with that Mark Dice bit.
The answers are really good, but without the subtitles, you don't know what's going on.
But he asked people to sign a petition to arrest the unvaccinated and a surprising amount of...
Everyone signed.
No, no, no.
He had many people saying, screw off, you a-hole.
But we don't know the ratio because that's not how these things are put together.
That's the trick of the man on the street.
But there were definitely people going, yes, sign me up.
Yeah, they should be arrested.
Scary!
Garden of the Beasts stuff.
That's the kind of stuff.
Yeah, Garden of the Beasts is good.
Garden of the Beasts.
Um, I think that's, uh, is that everything we had?
Oh, yeah.
The only thing is left is the boosters, which I think is interesting for a few reasons.
I know a couple people who, in fact, most of my friends have been vaccinated, and none of my friends who have been vaccinated will want to get a booster at all whatsoever, including our mutual friend.
By the way, yes, this is true, except, I hate to say it, but talk is cheap.
Wow, man.
They got the vaccine in the first place, they'll get the booster.
I would bet that two-thirds of them that say they won't get the booster will get the booster, including our mutual friend.
Oh.
Wow, really?
I don't think so.
I don't think he's going to do it.
Well, here's the problem.
They don't know how to market it.
They're doing a very poor job.
Here's the guy himself, the board member of Pfizer, posing as a former FDA commissioner, which he was, Dr.
Scott Gottlieb.
So does this speed up the need for boosters?
These new findings that are showing the breakthrough cases, should that speed up their thinking about boosters here?
Well, look, I certainly think so for the elderly and the vulnerable population.
And one of the pieces of data that was in that CDC data set, they looked at an outbreak in nursing homes and they found that the vaccines in that setting, in this outbreak, was 61% effective.
At preventing infection.
They were still 85% effective at preventing severe disease.
So the initial premise is still intact, that they're preventing people from getting very sick.
But if you see some decline in their ability to protect particularly older individuals, vulnerable individuals, from any infection at all, that's suggested that eventually you're going to see the infection break through in more cases in those individuals and start causing symptomatic illness.
That's another fancy way of saying shit don't work.
We're going to have to keep pumping you full until it does.
Let's continue with CBS. Face the nation.
I have to explain that the decision to make a booster shot available is a combination of two.
First is really the evidence of what we think is waning immunity and the difference between the infection rate between those who were vaccinated early on and those who were vaccinated later.
But also the evidence that we have increased severe and critical condition, hospitalization with severe and critical conditions among the 60 and above population who are fully immunized.
And that's together with the fact that we're seeing lack of response to the vaccine over time has led us to...
Suggest to people or actually allow them to be vaccinated a third time.
In Israel, they're actually starting it.
They're doing the booster shots.
But the mistake is booster.
I think they're really dumb.
Yes.
I hate to interrupt that.
Sure, no, it's okay.
It's really actually great that Israel has...
Taking the approach they have, because it turns into a giant Petri dish that we can all study.
And as it turns out, the vaccines are now about at 40% efficacy after six months.
Yeah, I know.
This is great.
Yeah, well, it's not great because they're not doing it right.
Well, it's not great for people who think that it worked, but it's...
It also creates this other conundrum, which is like in New York, where they're obviously not paying much attention to what's going on in Israel.
By opening Broadway and nightclubs and bars and restaurants to the vaccinated who have the vaccine card, there's your super spreader events right there.
Yeah, because they need a third vax.
They didn't get the third vax yet.
They got the card.
They're all in there mingling.
And a lot of them have COVID again.
And they're really doing what they shouldn't be doing.
And the people who are unvaccinated, wearing the masks, and not going to these things because you aren't allowed, are the ones that are going to get off scot-free.
I believe to be true.
I think they should market it more by brand name and should do, you know, take something from Silicon Valley.
Like, how about, instead of booster, how about Pfizer XL? You know?
That would work.
Or use the word enhancer instead of booster.
Yeah, but what does Apple do?
They just increment...
Yeah, XL. XL, do X, XL. Johnson& Johnson could do J&J Vista.
They have to...
Yeah, there you go.
They have to do...
I think what they should...
I think the real mistake is...
How about plus?
Plus is the word these days.
Plus is the winner.
Yes, Pfizer plus.
But that's the TV people using that.
Now, what they should do, if you really wanted to do it correctly, is they would make a minor, even a meaningless modification.
Yeah.
And then you could use Pfizer Enhance.
Or upgrade.
Yeah.
Or upgrade.
An upgrade.
Yeah.
2.0?
Can we do 2.0?
Tuesday patch.
Pfizer patch.
Pfizer patch.
By doing absolutely nothing except making a minor change and saying it's Delta, you know, work Delta into it.
I mean, there's ways of doing it other than just booster.
It sounds like a kid thing, a booster, like a booster chair.
And a booster's no good, you're right.
It's bad.
It's old-fashioned.
It's not good.
Yeah, exactly.
It gives a very old-fashioned to it.
And that's because the people running this scam are old-fashioned.
Look at it.
Fauci, Collins...
By the way, Fauci, man, the guy's 80.
He has got to have the purest adrenochrome on the planet.
The guy looks great for 80.
And he's just dogged.
Yes.
He's superhuman.
And the next day he'll say, do that, do this.
I mean, he never says the same thing.
Hannity, I have to say, I don't necessarily like his show because he can't stop talking.
Mm-hmm.
He had a collection of Fauci, contradictory Fauci clips that went on for 10 minutes.
It was dynamite.
It's like a super clip that they did in House of Beautiful.
Someone put together an even better super clip of all the politicians saying that the same people, that being, of course, Biden, Harris, Cuomo, everybody saying, no, no vaccine, no, no, I can't trust everything.
Do these people wonder why people don't trust them anymore?
I mean, they were all in on that.
Yes, you actually have the short super clip there to play if you want.
What, you have the short super clip?
No, you do.
You have it.
No, I have this new one I have.
Oh, well, play it.
Hold on a second.
It's super clip, super cut, I think it is.
Wait, is this the one?
No.
Shoot, man.
You don't have it at the ready.
I had it at the ready.
But what I was going to play instead, and then I'll see if I can find it, is all of a sudden, out of the blue, while all of this is taking place, while people are going to the hospital with breakthrough infections, whatever you do, WGN-TV in Chicago does not want you to think that hydroxychloroquine can be any type of solace for you.
Red flags for a once-touted COVID treatment.
Early hope for hydroxychloroquine prompted doctors to try the medication on severely ill COVID patients.
Again!
Which, of course, is bullcrap because you're supposed to take it just as you get it, not when you're severely ill.
Yes, it's more of a prophylactic preventative than it is for someone's on their deathbed, you don't give it to them.
But they keep doing this and they keep trying to pull that stunt.
That was the original bull crap, and they're doing it again.
Today?
In this week?
In this week?
It's crazy.
...patients.
While there were some signs of improvement after taking hydroxychloroquine, larger COVID patient studies called the efficacy into question.
Now, long-term research shows the drug is toxic to cells.
USC, Keck School of Medicine researchers say they found DNA damaging and mutagenic effects of taking hydroxychloroquine in the commonly prescribed doses.
DNA damage, really?
The vaccines doesn't do anything to your DNA but hydroxychloroquine, DNA damage.
The medication was originally used to treat malaria and rheumatoid arthritis.
Now the researchers say they didn't test how well...
By the way, not originally was, still is, still is.
And lupus is another use of it.
This has been used and it's continually in use to this day.
What do they mean used to be?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
This is a really sick, slanted report.
These people should be ashamed of themselves, these journalists.
This is a script.
I'm sure this exact story ran on other independent stations.
Someone will find it.
Hey, who can read the script better?
Commonly prescribed doses.
I can't.
I'll do it.
Yes.
The medication was originally used to treat malaria and rheumatoid arthritis.
Now, the researchers say they didn't test how well hydroxychloroquine worked on COVID, but they say now they really need to raise the red flag because of the toxic risks.
Yeah, we're learning more and more.
Okay.
Thank you, Dina.
We're learning more and more.
Yeah, we're learning more.
We're learning more and more.
We've got to put that as our normal patter.
We're learning more.
Oh, we need a couple things.
We're learning more and more.
This preventable illness.
This is another good one.
Why people don't get vaccinated for this preventable illness.
This is another favorite of mine that they're using.
A preventable illness.
So this supercut, I think, is put together by the Republican machine.
The GOP. Which is funny because they talk a big game by making the Democrats look like assholes.
But really, do I see any Republicans really do anything?
Anyone?
Anyone representing the people?
Not really.
No, of course not really.
They're all pussies.
No one's really going to do anything.
Just in case it turns out I'm wrong.
No backbone.
DeSantis a little bit, I think.
DeSantis, I like DeSantis.
More than most.
But Abbott, mm-hmm.
I'm happy that they outlawed the mask mandates and the vaccine mandates in the states, but still.
All right, so here's this ad put together by the Republicans, quite effective, I would say.
I think it's going to be a very skeptical American public about taking the vaccine, and they should be.
We can't trust the president and take his word and take a vaccine that might cause harm to us.
If and when the vaccine comes, it's not likely to go through all the tests and trials that are needed to be done.
Let's just say there's a vaccine that is approved and even distributed before the election.
Would you get it?
Well, I think that's going to be an issue for all of us.
When we finally do, God willing, get a vaccine, who's going to take the shot?
Who's going to take the shot?
We will need to have access to the vaccine results so we can make our independent assessment to make sure that Donald Trump's fingerprints are not on it.
You're going to be the first one to say put me, sign me up.
They now say it's okay.
Is the vaccine safe?
Frankly, I'm not going to trust the federal government's opinion.
And I wouldn't recommend to New Yorkers based on the federal government's opinion.
And the question of whether it's real when it's there, that requires enormous transparency.
Would you trust that vaccine?
There's very little that we can trust that comes out of Donald Trump's file.
We cannot take for granted this process will be free of political influence.
I don't trust the president and I don't trust the FDA. If Donald Trump can't give answers and the administration can't give answers to these three questions, the American people should not have confidence.
You're going to say to the American people now, here's a vaccine, it was new, it was done quickly, but trust This federal administration and their health administration that it's safe.
I will say that I would not trust Donald Trump.
How confident are you in the approval process of the FDA right now?
How confident am I? I'm not that confident.
Yes, I would be hesitant, but I'm going to ask a lot of questions.
You're going to need someone other than this FDA and this CDC saying it's safe.
You've got to make all of it available to other experts across the nation so they can look and see.
So there's consensus this is a safe vaccine.
What I'm worried about is that there's some sort of October surprise and that there is pressure put on the decision makers here to announce the vaccine in October of 2020.
We're going to put together our own group of doctors and medical experts to review the vaccine and the efficacy and the protocol.
And if they say it's safe, then I'll go to the people of New York and I will say it's safe.
But if Donald Trump tells us that we should take it, I'm not taking it.
There you go.
Very effective.
Not very original, but effective.
No.
Effective.
Your ass is a little longer.
It's got more stuff.
Yeah, it's got more stuff.
Still the same, but it's the same three bozos.
It's all Cuomo, Biden, and Harris.
There's nobody else in there.
Elon Omar was in there.
Ariana Presley was in there.
Squad stuff.
Squad.
Great Republicans.
Cool.
What are you doing now?
You're out there saying the same thing.
Take the vaccine.
They're all saying the same thing.
Accept or reject.
Well, anyway, I think that's kind of the overview, unless you have something else.
No, I only had a couple of things.
I'm surprised you got that much out of it.
Well, the only other thing I have, which I am tracking, is, again, a lot of stories about nicotine having some kind of prophylactic...
I'm a heavy vapor of nicotine.
And someone reminded me that British American Tobacco in early 2020, they were talking about how they were going to use tobacco plants to make a COVID vaccine.
We haven't seen anything come out of them yet, but I don't know.
The tobacco information seems pretty solid.
Remember John, who has the dune buggy golf cart business?
Yes, I do remember him.
He does something else.
He's at the Skunk Works, man.
He works on very advanced aircraft.
And he sent me a note.
He says, my wife and I live in a luxury RV, which I know because I visited them in their luxury RV, about 400 square feet.
I had COVID in December.
She did not.
We wondered why.
She vapes nicotine.
Goodbye, John.
Doom buggy golf cart.
So, I don't know.
Now, that doesn't explain why, you know, Tina has not gotten the COOF. She doesn't...
Secondhand smoke?
Secondhand vape?
Secondhand vape.
I don't know about that.
Although sometimes you go, ah, get that vape out of my face.
Well, not everybody gets...
True.
I mean, there's still a small number of people that get COVID. Yeah.
It's not everybody who gets it.
That's why this is a lot of this...
But she is out amongst the public a lot, so...
I'm happy.
Believe me, I'm happy.
Let's go back to the original, again, this just reminds me, I've got to put this show together.
Sounds like a subset.
Some of the early clips where the guy had a long discussion of how you can catch it, and you really have to be standing within range of somebody with it for a good 15-20 minutes.
If she's just hanging out with somebody who has it, which seems unlikely, And we know it doesn't stick on surfaces.
And there were so many things.
All that was bull crap.
Oh, my goodness.
That's where my favorite is still the image of the guy wearing double masks, a face shield, and those blue gloves.
Well, with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in the jab, click, share, ladies and gentlemen, John C. Dvorak.
Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
Adam Curry.
Also in the morning, y'all ships to sea, boots on ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and dames in the nights out there.
Yes, a very big in the morning to the trolls in the troll room.
You can find them at trollroom.io.
Hands up, trolls!
Let's see.
Okay, troll count.
How many trolls do we have in there today?
It is a Thursday.
We have 2,052, which I think is good, right?
That's over the 2K for a Thursday, isn't that...
Anything over 2K on Thursday is good.
We're loving that.
Very good.
Well, trolls, good to have you here.
The trolls, there's been a lot of activity in the troll room.
There's troll rooms mad at each other.
It's crazy.
For three days, I've been seeing the same conversation going on in the troll room about someone, I'm not even going to repeat it, but who kicked who?
No, no, it's going to make people angry.
Okay, so Harry Hamster got banned for life somehow.
In the troll room?
Yeah.
Lifetime bans, I don't think, are the way trolls roll.
Trolls got to have the feeling they can get back...
Why didn't you change his handle and get a VPN? He can be right back in there.
That's pride, man.
This is troll pride.
You can't just, like, spoof your way back in.
That's no good.
Troll pride.
Troll pride, baby.
This is...
Anyway, I think it settled down a little bit.
Troll pride.
It was amazing to watch.
Because we have a very open community.
You know, it's like, we don't...
I mean, I can kick someone off for like five minutes or something.
It's more of a joke, like, come on, you horrible troll.
Stop saying shit to me.
I do kick and throw them off and they can come back a couple minutes.
That's fun.
But it's not like Lifetime Bands.
How do you get a lifetime ban?
Does somebody do it?
Yeah.
From what I understand, I'm not really schooled in it.
There's a IP address lifetime ban list.
This I don't know.
It has to be the way you do it.
There's no other way of doing it.
Well, you do have to register at the troll room if you want your nick to be saved.
Yeah.
There's no way you can't get back.
You can come in as anonymous from somewhere else, sure.
But that's, again, troll pride is what it's all about.
It's bigger than Olympic pride.
It's like a fever.
You can't live without troll pride.
That's what these people do.
Anyway, this is what Joe Rogan incorrectly calls fans.
No, no.
These are trolls, and they're producers above all.
Now, they produce troll stuff, but that's part of the joy of a live show.
And you can join them any Thursday or Sunday when we do the show live at trollroom.io, and you can listen live while that's taking place.
And, of course, there's other live shows that you can listen to.
And if not, then it's a podcast.
Everyone hears the same thing.
Or just go in there and just bitch and moan about the Lifetime ban.
You don't even have to listen to what's going on.
Trollroom.io.
Or, if you want to have a little more depth to the conversation, go follow myself and John at NoAgendaSocial.com.
I'm Adam at NoAgendaSocial.com and John C. Dvorak at NoAgendaSocial.com.
If you do that from any Mastodon account across the Fediverse, eventually you will...
Which, to me, by the way, we have all these metaverse comparisons today.
You know, Facebook is going to build the metaverse, which is antithetical to the concept of the metaverse, if anyone read the book Snow Crash.
Did you read Snow Crash at any point in your life?
Probably.
Did you?
So long ago, I don't even remember it.
Well, at some point in this virtual world, there's the Freedom Raft, and the Raft is all these groups that just kind of all attach to each other, and they're trying to get away from the evil control of the metaverse.
And that's what the Fediverse feels like.
All of these Mastodon servers kind of bolted on to each other.
I don't know.
I'm reminded of the valley in the Ayn Rand book.
Oh, Galt's Gulch?
Yeah.
Where's John Galt?
Galt's Gulch.
There's some of that to that, probably.
Anyway, that's no agenda.
Sorry, I brought it up.
No, no, that's okay.
Now, let's thank some of the artists and the artist who brought us the artwork for, let's see, episode 1369.
We titled it COVID Roulette.
And this was a dynamite piece.
We saw it.
We were like, yeah, this really...
Correct a record.
Is it correct a record?
Yes.
Came in with the COVID victim with a black eye and...
It's Tantaneel.
Is it Tantanil?
How come it says correct a record?
Oh, I'm sorry.
No, I had to refresh.
Tantanil.
It says it there properly now.
Tantanil.
And cleverly hidden a little yellow unvaccinated star.
Very subtle.
I think that really clinched the deal for us.
It was very funny.
To us it was.
The big black eye, this kind of purple, doesn't look right.
Yeah.
I know she did.
She had a certain percentage and she hit the little spray can button on the eyeball and let it fill out.
You were concerned about the yellow star and I said it's only got five points.
Don't worry about it.
Don't worry about it.
Okay.
It's like a sheriff's badge.
Yeah, it does look like a sheriff's badge.
It's just a nice piece.
It's just a beauty.
The black guy is the killer.
Yeah, it's very good.
Let me see what else there was.
Well, there was a couple.
Kenny Bend did the leaky vaccine barrel.
Well, I like the Africa one, which you didn't recognize as Africa, and the target was in the wrong spot.
Yeah, that was interesting.
So we were talking about Africa being the new African spring, the new Arab spring.
And the African map, now, I have colorblindness issues regardless, but when I looked at this map, Africa didn't punch out at me.
Only when you said, oh, I kind of like the Africa map.
I'm like, I saw the target, but I don't remember seeing...
The map of Africa.
And so that alone kind of disqualified it somehow.
And it had something to do with the camo background.
I mean, it's a Mike Riley piece.
Mike is very good, but it didn't work for me.
And yeah, the target was instead of it being in East Africa, it was in West Africa.
So that was a deal killer right there.
Yeah, it was...
Conceptually, it was a nice piece.
There's a lot of other stuff that was...
Well, thank you to Darren O'Neill.
Darren always does a piece for us, just for us privately.
And he did the advertising meetings in the rear...
Yeah, which is never going to get picked in a million years, but it was fine.
COVID Toe by Ness Works.
Not bad.
Not bad.
It was close.
Where was COVID Toe by Ness Works?
It's the footprint, the ink footprint of COVID Toe.
Blue, kind of blue striped background.
It's down from the advertising meeting.
It's further down.
It's right above Tantanil.
Oh, there it is.
Oh, yes.
Oh, yeah.
That's a good piece.
It is a good piece.
Yeah.
I would say the problem I'd have with that piece is that COVID toe, the writing, the write-up of COVID toe on there doesn't contrast enough with the bluish background.
So you've got blue on blue.
Agreed.
Agreed.
And if he brought that out with some, like, that was in black or yellow or red, ideally red, because red would indicate it's a problem symbolically, that would have been a better piece.
But it still was going to have a hard time beating the black eye.
Well, we are very fortunate to have the best producers in the universe and that includes the best artists in the universe.
There is, to my knowledge, not a single podcast anywhere that has this level of refreshing art.
There are some who also...
Not even close.
And not only that, but it's competitive.
And not only that, but in these recent submissions, there's at least five we could have used.
Yeah.
And that's why, you know, with Podcasting 2.0, right now, throughout the show, in fact, you're seeing the album art change.
We call that cloud chapters.
If you want to try that for yourself, go to newpodcastapps.com.
So none of this goes to waste.
Most of it gets showed, and it even flips in the car if you're watching.
You know, you're driving along, like, boom, new topic, new art pops up, and it'll work with CarPlay.
We've got the first app in the App Store, which is Fountain, fountain.fm.
It's very cool.
It has all of that in there.
The transcripts.
You know, the transcript is a problem.
This AI is bugging the crap out of me.
So I use otter.ai to do transcripts, which also is a podcasting 2.0 feature.
And no matter what I do, no matter how many times I train it, it always, the opening is like, I'm Adam Curry, I'm John C. Dvorak, and it spells John C. Dvorak, J-A-H-N-S-I. I mean, is there anyone in the world whose name is John C. like that?
I'm surprised it doesn't put Chauncey.
Yeah, Chauncey would make more sense.
That would make more sense.
So, I don't know.
I've given up on changing it, so if you see Chauncey Dvorak, I'm sorry.
Si, senor.
Chauncey.
Chauncey Dvorak.
Here with Jose Gupta.
All right.
Thank you again, artists.
Noagendaartgenerator.com is where you can look at all of the art if you want to check it all out.
If you want to contribute, you can do it there as well.
Part of our time, talent, treasure, ask for the Value for Value Network, the Value for Value System.
All we ask is that you...
Determine what the value of the show is to you.
Now, if you want to upload artwork, which would be easily a $500 job for some of these artists, that's okay.
We appreciate that.
Some people can't do that, and they'd like to support us with some of their hard-earned treasure, and we're going to thank the executive producers and associate executive producers because this is just the way Hollywood works.
Producers put the money in.
We don't have all the cool things you can get in Hollywood, you know, banging actors and actresses, but no drugs.
But we can give you real titles, and these are valid everywhere titles are recognized, including IMDB. And we start off with our executive producer, Zoe Hannon, from Parts Unknown.
Now, does this come in as a check?
Is that why it's gray here?
I don't have, mine isn't gray.
Oh, it could just be me.
It's not gray.
3, 4, 5, 6, one of our favorite sequential numbers.
The 33s are plentiful lately, says Zoe.
I see you, universe.
Please give the producer credit to Solomon H. Oh, switcheroo.
Solomon H., he keeps meaning to donate.
Okay.
And I make it so.
Thank you very much.
Dick of St.
Gall comes in at F333.69 and he's in Holland.
That's weird.
Please dedouche me.
You've been dedouched.
I haven't been donating since 1208 and wanted to attend the Swiss meetup with a clean conscience.
Ooh, a Swiss meetup.
I'd love to go to that.
I'd also like some lawsuit karma.
Thank you for...
with no details.
Thank you for keeping our amygdalas a small dick of St.
Gaul.
That's okay.
Well, for lawsuits, we need to bring out the goat!
You've got...
karma.
Now, Bill Cameron, Sir Suspected Spook of the Sycamore Soot, 33333, executive producer.
Now, he said that he was going to send his donation note to my Gmail address.
Eric even contacted me this morning.
He says, hey, make sure it's there.
I mean, I have received emails from him in the past.
This one is not in my Gmail.
And there's, I gotta tell you, there's a lot of problems with email these days.
It's just, there's so much checking and stuff going on that stuff gets recognized as spam and people misconfigure stuff.
I'm sorry, Bill, sir, suspected spook of the sycamore soot.
I don't have it.
Epic fail!
So send it again, or send it to AdamMcCurry.com, or send it to notes at noagendashow.net.
That's the surefire way to get it done.
Buddy Arsenault is up, and he gave us $333.33.
Actually, Sir Bill Cameron, the Sir Suspected Spook, is the only one who came in for the $333.33 executive producer gimmick.
That's why I'm sad that we don't have his note.
That's a shame.
Anyway, anywho, Buddy writes, ITM, here are the threes, first time donation, de-douche me.
You've been de-douched.
And please continue doing the work.
Short and sweet.
Shawna Benson, Smithville, Texas, $300.
I share your distaste for those NPR news readers and Walensky speaking voices.
Tsss.
Oh, really?
We think it's so professional sounding.
So?
Mm-hmm.
Not sure if you caught from Thursday, Jean-Pierre, she means Karine Jean-Pierre, actually used Walensky's voice when she was quoting her, then switched back to her normal voice.
No, I did not catch that.
That's nice.
That's interesting.
I'll have to go and check that.
They are trying to emulate the most annoying public speaking voices of all time.
Angela Davis!
Yeah, Angela Davis, man, she does have a weird way of speaking.
And she's been doing it for...
A long...
Yeah, but...
And she also does some of this stuff in there.
Sir Keith McColpin, 267, becomes the first associate executive producer.
It's a short list today.
Yeah.
So we can maybe get a show that's short.
ITM, gentlemen.
This donation was finally taking me across the finish line.
Today, I am a baronet.
For some reason, that title always makes me think of a tiny baron.
It's not really spelled.
It was E-T-T-E, maybe.
Yes, yes.
Anywho, he writes, please read this War and Peace note.
Ah, just enjoy the silence.
Eh, funny man.
Thank you.
Appreciate it.
Yeah, and I'll bestow your title in a moment.
Aaron Palozzi, this is another associate executive producer, $250 and one penny.
First donation started listing in the summer of 2018 when my co-worker Ryan heard me debating politics with some of our resident leftists.
He just dropped the bomb on us all.
He said, hey guys, if you...
I'm sure he said it just like that.
Hey guys, if you enjoy discussing this stuff, you should check out this podcast, No Agenda.
So I figured what the hell I've been listening ever since.
The work you do reminds me that I am not the crazy person when all of this leftist Marxist BS comes flooding out of the government, my job, and those who don't have a spine to not kowtow to this insanity.
The message enclosed from my place of work is what prompted me to donate.
The only way to fight this madness is to support those who want nothing to do with it.
I need a little dedouching.
I'll do that for you right now.
You've been dedouched.
And a Build Back Better jingle, please.
And add a penny for the jar.
We appreciated that.
And since this is the only jingle requested by today's execs and associate execs, I figured we'd do the 30-second version of Build Back Better by the one and only Sir Jeff Smith.
Build Back Better Bend down on bended knee Bear the brunt of all the burdens Like broken ones should be Build a blinded loyalty Back the better ones than you For a better life beyond your freedom
Build Back Better For someone else You've got karma Music by Ben Thede I mean, that's so good.
Why don't you take a look in your mailboxes?
There's nothing from Ivan Fergus from Philadelphia who gave $250 in any mailbox that I own under his name that he gave me.
Okay.
While you're looking it up, I'll read it.
The last donation, which is from Anonymous, $200.
Anonymous donation, ITM. Gentlemen, thanks for that.
By the way, I want to thank everybody who donated today, even though there's only 10 people donated for these producerships, for making these notes so short.
Yeah, Mom.
I miss Donation.
ITM, gentlemen.
Thanks for the great show, and keep it up.
Long-time boner, first-time donor.
Please de-douche me.
No jingles, no karma.
You've been de-douched.
I have nothing from Ivan.
I have nothing from Ivan.
Okay, well, Ivan Fergus gave us 250 bucks.
He said he sent a note to the website.
I don't know what that means.
No, it should be notes at noagendashow.net or one of them.
Many other emails.
I don't know why I put that.
But you can always send us a note and we'll read it eventually.
So I want to thank these folks for being the executive associate executive producers for show 1370.
Yeah, moving right along.
Moving towards the 1400s.
It's crazy.
Woohoo!
It's a big experiment and we started it 14 years ago.
It's called Value for Value.
You just determine what the show is worth to you.
And whatever that number is, if you're doing it that way, then just put it into an envelope.
Put it on the many different ways that you can get us.
You can get it to us via PayPal, via Zelle, wire transfer.
If you would like more information...
Go to this website.
Dvorak.org slash N-A. And special thanks to our executive producers and associate executive producers for episode 1370.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Shut up, slave.
Shut up, slave.
Let me read a lost note from executive producer Murray.
Murray Denon.
Jobs Karma, he says, for my 333.33 donation worked like a charm.
It took only three days versus 11 months of hardcore searching.
Wish I had done it sooner.
Thank you.
Of course, we can't explain these phenomenons.
Nice.
Two, the media is reporting that the non-vaccinated are the spreaders, yet the vaccinated are the ones in the hospitals.
So maybe the vaccinated are the spreaders.
Just a thought.
Three, the PCR test scandal drives me nuts.
We need a viral shredding test instead.
Shedding.
Viral shedding or shredding.
Very poor science is being done right now around the whole COVID thing.
Very disappointed in science.
Not a joke.
Murray from Los Gatos, the cats.
Oh, speaking of not a joke, kudos and commendations to you, good sir.
As, once again, you predict the future.
We are from the future, often.
You were complaining, and you had a nice little ditty you put together of Biden's weird, not-a-joke-isms.
It was a nice little mashup, but this is bleeding over.
And it's obvious David Axelrod, since he's a podcaster himself these days, he ran Obama's entire campaign.
He's listening to our show.
David, could you pass the word to the White House that he shouldn't say not a joke so many times?
If that were a drinking game, we all would have been plastered by the end of the broadcast.
The thing is, it's always after something like, 600,000 people have died.
Not a joke.
It's like, no, I don't think there's any confusion about whether that's a joke or not.
You don't have to clarify that.
Get your own material.
Axelrod.
There you go.
Yeah, well, that sounds like a very exciting podcast.
Yeah, super.
I do want to read one more clarification.
Okay.
This is from Tony.
Mm-hmm.
Love and Light, Tony the $5 Peasant of San Diego.
Mm-hmm.
There's something I wanted to share with you regarding the Simone Biles actions at the Olympics.
Ah, yes.
I think I saw this note.
Yeah, you have this too.
My wife is a gymnastics nut and her close friend is an even bigger fanatic whose young daughter is on the path for competing at this level one day.
The consensus of her orbit of gymnastics is that one, this is part of a retaliation plan.
This is in other words what Simone did.
This is part of a retaliation plan for the IOC's rule changes that change the scoring value for her routine.
Simone planned this with her coach before leaving the U.S.
By pulling out of the individual events within 48 hours of said event, the U.S. team is able to choose the alternative who will go in her place.
And she picked good alternatives.
Yeah, silver.
She won silver, right?
The SUNY? Oh, okay.
There was two events.
And the team thing is where they got the silver.
Okay.
At the beginning, the U.S. team would not have had that same luxury.
If she had pulled out entirely at the beginning, in other words, not within 48 hours, the team would not have had that luxury.
So she pulled a stunt.
Well, it was a calculated move in a competitive sport.
Not really the essence of the Olympics, but okay.
Works.
In the gymnastics community orbit, our friend is in...
Our friend is in.
They all see Simone's action as calculated and generous.
Wow.
Yeah, well, it was generous because it got these other girls in.
Especially the one, I think she was on the parallel or something.
There's one girl that did very well.
Yeah, Suni.
Suni.
Her name is Suni, I think.
No, Suni Lee.
That's the one who won the overall.
Oh, okay.
No, it's another.
It's a different girl, an older girl who won an award she wouldn't have even gotten.
Ah, right.
Yes, she was 32 or something.
I'm crazy.
Yeah.
This was her last shot.
She won.
Mm-hmm.
The selected members who didn't make the cut prior are getting second chances and winning medals.
Yes, the twisty is totally a thing and may still be in play for Simone, although she did the balance beam, which seems like the twisties would really get you there.
Yeah, well, did you see her on the balance beam?
Disappointing.
Yeah, but she got another award, so she tied for most.
She got a bronze.
We're both like really cavalier, but meanwhile, it seems like we're both watching.
Somebody's watching.
Everything is still conjecture at this point, but I wanted to at least share the discussion happening in the U.S. gymnastics scene that we're loosely tied to, Love and Light.
Yeah, that's the one I like.
There's another one going around which seems to be stronger and not so much from the inside.
I don't know if you've heard this one.
Yeah, I know which one it is.
Yes.
I don't believe that one.
Well, let me read it.
Let me read it.
And I think Joe Rogan talked about this on his podcast.
As I understand it, Biles had a doctor's note for her Ritalin in past competitions.
Apparently, Japan's regulatory preferences trump those of any of the Olympic regulatory bodies.
This story is incredibly underreported.
You know, I don't buy this either.
I don't think any Olympian can be on Ritalin while at the Olympics.
Can they?
That's meth.
I have no idea, but this story does not ring as true as the insider story.
I agree.
Especially with the 48 hours thing and all the little details.
It seems like this Ritalin story is maybe even designed to just keep people not thinking about what you just said, which, I mean, I don't know, is that...
So on one hand, yeah, it's great she gave the other kids, the other teammates, an opportunity, but is it really in the sportsmanship-like vein of what the Olympics is supposed to be?
Or is it really about who gets exposure for the Nike contract afterwards?
I mean...
Let's just be...
Let's just look at it objectively.
It doesn't seem like a very sportsman-like thing to do to throw the match to let other team members in because you're angry.
Well, Noah says she was angry in that note.
Well, no.
The reason why she did is because they changed the scoring for her type of routine.
For her, yeah.
That's true.
So is that not that she's doing that out of spite?
Maybe it was a bunch of...
Spite?
Yeah.
Hey...
Anyone in high-level sports, this is the part of the game.
I mean, let's not be naive about any of this.
I mean, it's like they talk about this in baseball, about cheating.
You know, these guys put weird stuff on the ball.
They've been doing this for a hundred years.
This is the Olympics.
You're supposed to, okay, they changed the rules, I'm going to do even better and still win.
That's what I'm looking for.
Yeah.
Just my story.
Otherwise, man, does she have some white eye whites.
Yeah.
There's no one on the team whose eyes are...
It's called bright-eyed.
Bam!
It's hypnotic.
It's hypnotic.
Black Africans from Africa always have these red eye whites.
Yeah.
From, I don't know what it is.
Yeah, that's not this.
That's not this.
No, she is very bright-eyed.
Is she eating the talcum that she puts on her hands?
Because it's unbelievable white.
It's enchanting.
Because they all have makeup on and everything.
You just look at it like, oh my god, your eyes, girl.
And in general, that's so weird when you see the athletes on the podium and they can only unmask for 30 seconds for pictures, but then during their anthem, their mask is on and you just see the eyes.
And now you're seeing people's eyes dart back and forth in an extreme close-up.
It's a little unnerving.
You know what I mean?
It's like, I don't know.
Back off.
I don't want to see that.
I have a little aside here.
Mm-hmm.
I have an Ask Adam.
Oh, everybody!
Okay.
Do I need to get the jingle?
You have to separate the two.
You make sure you look at the short one.
I have an Ask Adam jingle somewhere here, don't I? I've got a couple of jingles.
Let's try this one.
There we go.
Will he know or will he won't?
I don't know, but here we go.
Ask Adam, ask Adam.
Yeah.
I see Ask Adam Podcasting and Ask Adam Answer Podcasting.
Okay, so the short one comes first, I guess?
Yep.
Okay, and Ask Adam.
It's been a while.
I'm excited.
There's about to be a new voice in podcasting.
Okay.
That's your tease.
Yeah.
You must know about this.
I do know.
You're the podfather.
I do know about this.
Oh.
I do.
I mean, I can guess because I see the news.
Now, had I not been doing Podcasting 2.0, and had I not been, you know, incessantly reading all podcasting news to see if we scored anything, then I probably would not have known.
This is, of course, the...
I forget who's doing it.
It's not really a new podcast.
I think it's the redhead.
Lucio Ball.
Yes!
Yay!
There's about to be a new voice in podcasting.
Welcome to Let's Talk to Lucy, starring Lucille Ball.
Yes, that Lucille Ball.
Lucille Ball, during her lifetime, was the queen of all media.
She was big in TV, she was a Hollywood producer, and she even hosted a series of short radio interviews for CBS. Most haven't been heard publicly in decades, but tomorrow, those old recordings find new life as a pop-up channel on satellite radio and later as a podcast.
Believe it or not, my guest today is Mr.
Frank Sinatra.
Yes, and apologies.
I also heard...
Their marketing is pretty good.
I also heard about this when I was listening in the car to the Seriously Sinatra channel.
I think there was an ad for it.
I'm sorry you didn't get to stump me.
I love...
Let's have a...
Well, no, I think the point of the quiz is to see if you know, and you did, so you get a point there.
Now, this sounds like the dull...
Who cares about...
The TV Land plays old Johnny Carson shows.
I watch those sometimes, too.
I watch those, and they're fascinating, but it's not podcast-worthy, and it's not really a podcast if you put it in as a podcast.
No, it's just a rehash.
It's a rehash.
And who cares about an interview with Frank Sinatra by Lucy?
I mean, who cares?
I'll listen because I like both of them.
But what they should have, again, they did not...
I'm telling you, what they did wrong, they should have said, coming soon, pop-up channel, SiriusXM, and on the blockchain.
See, now people would pay attention.
Just saying it's a podcast is not going to cut it anymore.
And it's also, I mean, I will subscribe.
I will listen to it, I'm sure.
Okay.
I won't.
Now, you want to move to Andrew Cuomo?
I've got two series, I got a clip and a series of clips, which are kind of Ask Adam.
Yes, I'd like to lead you into Creepy with another Creepy, with Bill Gates, who returned to the airwaves.
Is that okay?
He was with Anderson Pooper.
Come on, the Pooper's his boy.
So Gates goes on Pooper, and the whole point of this is, of course, to set the record straight and let everyone know that everything's okay.
Because, you know, he's got a test.
He unfortunately doesn't sell his newly purchased test in this segment.
But Bill has to get back into the public eye, and here's a feeble attempt.
On Monday this week, the divorce was finalized, just on a personal level.
How are you doing?
How are you doing?
Definitely a very sad milestone.
Sad milestone.
What kind of milestone?
Wait, how is it a milestone?
How is getting a divorce a milestone?
It's a sad milestone.
We worked towards this milestone.
And when we got there, man, we were sad.
And we were so sad.
But it was a milestone.
Guys, insane.
On Monday this week, the divorce was finalized.
Just on a personal level, how are you doing?
It's definitely a very sad milestone.
Melinda's a great person, and that partnership that we had coming to an end is a source of great personal sadness.
We are communicating and working at the Foundation, and so that partnership we're going to try and continue.
The Foundation said that there's going to be a two-year trial period to see if you two can continue to work together.
That's your hope, that you can?
Melinda has incredible strengths that she brings that help the foundation be better.
We always enjoyed our work together.
You know, two of us can go out and work with leaders and help build the organization.
So, you know, that would be definitely the best thing for the foundation.
There's a couple of things in reporting that have been out there I want to ask you about, and I think it's no one's business what happens in a person's marriage.
The New York Times and Wall Street Journal both reported in recent months that Melinda was concerned about a relationship you had with Jeffrey Epstein, who at the time you met him in 2011 had been already convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor.
The Times reported she hired divorce attorneys around the time in October 2019 when that contact with Epstein became public.
Can you explain your relationship with Epstein?
Did you have any concerns?
Was there ever any concerns you had about it?
Oh, certainly.
You know, I had several dinners with him, hoping that what he said about getting billions of philanthropy for global health Oh,
yeah.
Lovely.
So, first of all, he admits he's a money-grubbing whore.
He's willing to sit down with a convicted child prostitution trafficker for billions of dollars, hopefully, to save the world.
And by the way, it wasn't just me.
It was lots of other people.
That's the giveaway right there.
It was lots of people.
It's hard to not...
Yeah.
I know it sounds like a sore thumb.
It does.
Poor Billy Boy.
But I think they'll let him in.
Probably let him back in.
He plays a part.
Because he's got money.
He still controls a lot of money.
He does.
Alright, so that's Creep 1.
Now let's go to your Creep.
Well, I have a couple of series.
I've got a series of clips, but I want to start with the best report, which is from CBS, which kind of wraps up and it kind of has the lurid details.
And then I'm going to switch over to NPR, which has some interesting little factoids behind what's going to happen to Cuomo.
But he looks to be toast, but let's play the CBS part first.
Major, good evening.
Those four district attorneys are now looking at whether criminal charges against Governor Cuomo are warranted.
Legal experts tell us those charges could be forcible touching or sex abuse in the third degree.
Both misdemeanors.
Tonight, Governor Andrew Cuomo is fighting for his political life.
My father used to say, God rest his soul, that politics is an ugly business.
The embattled three-term governor is flatly rejecting calls from across the political spectrum and his accusers to resign.
And New York lawmakers now say they have the vote to impeach.
It comes one day after an explosive report by the state attorney general's office concluded that Cuomo sexually harassed at least 11 women, most of whom were current and former New York state employees, by unwelcome touching and suggestive comments.
The report details a litany of complaints, including how Cuomo inappropriately touched and kissed a female state trooper he hired into a security detail, even though she didn't meet the required three years of experience with the state police.
And in a series of other incidents, Cuomo grabbed a woman identified as executive assistant number one by her private parts, including the butt and the breast.
Let me be clear.
That never happened.
The 63-year-old said his intentions had been misinterpreted and blamed cultural and generational differences.
Putting your hand up a woman's shirt and touching their breast is not generational.
Among Cuomo's accusers is a former aide, Charlotte Bennett.
She spoke to Nora O'Donnell about the governor's response.
Publicly, he would rather play dumb.
Privately, he knows that he sexually harassed staffers.
Now four district attorneys have launched criminal probes, requesting documents from the Attorney General's investigation.
Another accuser, Lindsay Boylan, said today she plans to sue for retaliatory actions taken by the governor and top aides to discredit her.
But the bar remains high for a criminal prosecution.
Yeah, that is a pretty good wrap-up.
Can I ask you two points on style choices this report had?
Yeah, yes, do that.
But first I want to mention that Boylan, I think, has a case and may indicate other people.
Because she did get, she got, it's going to bring in some of the staffers who were helping Cuomo do this as a, you know.
Ah, yes, enabling.
Enablers.
Enabling is the word.
And I think conspiracy is afoot.
So they should start looking at that, too.
So it's conspiracy theory.
I like it.
No, a legal conspiracy.
Yes.
We have a theory that there is a conspiracy.
Yes, a theory that there is a conspiracy.
So a stylistic choice, and I heard this on every news broadcast, when I was growing up as a young journalist, a young cub, we would never say butt.
We would always say buttocks.
This seems to be a choice difference in today's journalism, today's reporting.
Well, she was reading from the Attorney General's report directly, and they threw it up on the screen, and then the word but was on there.
Okay.
All right.
So it wasn't her choice to say but.
I got you.
Okay.
But you might be right.
Buttocks is funnier.
He grabbed her by the buttocks.
Yes, buttocks.
It's a friendlier word.
It sounds like just a couple of things.
It's got two hard consonants, which is always funny.
So again, as is typical in America, whether you're subject to CIA meddling, FBI investigations, or if you actually were just killing old people during the COVID lockdown, directly or indirectly, again, it's where you put your penis in America that matters.
It's all about the penis.
We are obsessed with penis.
That is my theory, yes.
Didn't apply to Al Capone.
So I'll just bring that back up.
Let's play a couple of clips from NPR. And this is another kind of a quasi-ask, Adam.
And this is the Cuomo quiz.
Do we need a wheel or something?
Click, click, click, click.
Well, I have a...
How about this?
Okay, there's my wheel.
Okay.
So the only real quiz part is this first part A, and then I'll ask you the question.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is refusing to resign after yesterday's explosive report from the state's attorney general.
It detailed multiple allegations of sexual harassment and assault against Cuomo, but he could still be forced from office before his term is up next year.
Democratic leaders in New York state legislature say they will move forward quickly with impeachment proceedings.
NPR's Brian Mann has covered New York politics for a long time, and we've asked him to talk us through how this impeachment process might unfold.
Hi, Brian.
Hi, Ari.
To start with the basics, under New York's Constitution, do these allegations amount to impeachable offenses?
And there's your question.
Do these offenses amount to...
These allegations.
Allegations.
Allegations.
Well, impeachment would include a hearing for impeachment, correct?
Or would it just be, you're impeached?
I mean...
No, the process is outlined in these clips.
And what it amounts to is, first they decide whether he could be impeached by...
This is almost the same as the federal version.
I would say this is impeachable.
You think so?
I think so, because it's women or it's employees in the workplace.
It's a workplace issue.
Okay, play.
Do these allegations amount to impeachable offenses?
You know, it's interesting, Ari, there really are no standards for what qualifies as an impeachable offense with the New York governor, so this is largely a political question.
You know, do these lawmakers believe Cuomo crossed lines that warrant removal from office?
The State Assembly is going to take this up, and if a simple majority of those lawmakers vote to impeach, the process then moves to a second vote by state senators and judges.
If two-thirds of those officials vote to remove Cuomo, he would be stripped of office.
You know, we don't really have a timeline yet, but the process appears to really be accelerating.
The chair of the Assembly's Judiciary Committee says he and a group of lawyers are already doing an intensive analysis of that AG report.
So the answer is no.
Well...
There's no...
You can just decide to impeach the guy.
You don't like his looks.
Well, isn't that how impeachment works in America?
Yeah.
Well, it seems to have since Trump came around.
That's right.
So the answer is yes.
You can impeach him for just the way he looks.
You don't like him, you can impeach him.
Let's continue with this.
This is the educational part of the show, so let's go to clip C. And as you read through this long report with an eye on possible impeachment, like, what do you see in the investigation and its findings?
Any new takeaways?
Yeah, it's pretty astonishing, really.
This report describes incredibly personal questions posed to these women by Cuomo about their sexual lives.
The report describes one bizarre incident where Cuomo allegedly ordered a young woman on his staff to do push-ups while he watched.
Documents show some of these 11 women believed they were being groomed by Cuomo.
Interesting here, the documents also show a fight among Cuomo's staff over how to contain these revelations and spin news coverage.
These internal emails that we've been looking at show staff members debating whether Cuomo should try to sound contrite about his behavior or whether he should attack these women and media outlets that were raising the allegations.
And I should say, prosecutors in four New York counties now say they've opened their own probes into Cuomo's alleged misconduct.
The office of District Attorney Cyrus Vance in Manhattan released a letter saying his office is asking the state attorney general for more information on what he describes as the unnamed victims of potential sex crimes.
Many of the lawmakers who will decide Cuomo's fate have been his close allies for years.
How is that likely to affect the process?
What's interesting about this is if Andrew Cuomo were not the governor of New York, if he were Jamie Dimon, the CEO of Citibank, he would be out on his ass so fast with this amount of allegations against him.
Any CEO would be out, I would say.
Well, Cuomo's resisting, A, and a CEO can't resist when the board just kicks him out.
But they usually resign, you know, with a big...
And Jamie Dimon, the big difference here is Jamie Dimon would have been out, you're right, but he would have had a deal netting him about 100 million dollars.
Right, like the guy from Viacom or CBS. I mean, all these guys.
Remember, there was like four guys in a row.
Yeah, Moonves.
Moonves.
Yeah, Moonves.
A beautiful amount of money.
Sure.
So, you know, so you're saying the difference is forget about who's serving who that this guy is supposed to be serving the public.
The difference is we can't give him a big enough send-off package.
I'm thinking yes.
Okay.
Well, what will it take, Cuomo?
If it's that, let's skip all the women.
Just what do you want, $50 million?
Go.
I mean, you already got the Emmy.
You got the book deal.
I mean, you can write his own ticket.
He can buy a house on Martha's Vineyard next to the Obamas for all I can.
He can get a Netflix deal.
Maybe, maybe, but he already has the Emmy, so he's got some cred.
Yeah, yeah.
He can start a podcast network.
What's interesting, they bring this up in the last clip, which is clip D, is the fact that this is all Democrats.
It's funny how the Democrats will turn on one of their own when the guy is an out-and-out embarrassment.
Because the Democrats normally wouldn't do this.
They'd We'll stick up for the guy, but now it's at the point, and they should have already kicked him out, but now it's at the point where he's basically smudging all the other Democrats because it makes him look like a douchebag, and it's all Democrats.
It's a Democrat state.
So they've got to get him out of there as fast as they can because it's embarrassing, but let's play the last clip and we'll figure this out.
You know, until the AG's report was released yesterday, there was a sense that a lot of his allies were sticking with Andrew Cuomo and that this impeachment process, which had already begun, was sort of being slow-walked in Albany.
But as I mentioned, in the last day, we've seen many of those same allies call for Cuomo to step down.
Assembly Speaker Carl Hastie, the Democrat who's really driving this impeachment process, issued this fiercely worded statement saying Cuomo can no longer remain in office and Hastie himself has promised this process will be swift.
New York is such a democratic state.
What role, if any, will Republicans play?
You know, Republicans have played a role highlighting these allegations against the governor, but really, Ari, this is a democratic state, and the GOP is pretty powerless here.
So this is going to be decided, the fate of Andrew Cuomo will be decided by his fellow Democrats.
Does anybody think he can survive this?
You know, his support has cratered, but Cuomo is part of one of the country's biggest political dynasties.
He became a national figure during the pandemic year with those daily briefings.
He's also known as a brutal and really stubborn political fighter who's shown no interest in resigning.
So he's in this for a fight, but it's hard to see a path forward right now for Andrew Cuomo.
I love how he had a slideshow showing him being really friendly and hugging and kissing with world leaders and his family.
I'm just a hugger, man.
It's like this is the funny thing is Biden does exactly the same.
He hasn't been doing it recently.
No.
Well, they have the guy under lock and key.
Yeah.
It's like back in here.
He has handlers.
He has handlers who yell at him.
You've seen it.
Hey.
Yeah.
Come over here.
Come back here.
Don't talk to them.
That's hilarious.
I have two follow-on clips unless you have more on Cuomo.
No, that's my Cuomo bit, which is just to educate people on what's going to happen.
Yeah.
Yeah, so I just have the color around it then.
This is the mayor of New York, while he's still mayor, de Blasio.
He's happy to jump on for his future political career, if any.
Look, his statement was laughable.
His attempt to show pictures of him with family members as a defense was an insult to these women, an insult to the whole notion that a public servant is held to a high standard.
He should resign.
If he won't resign, he should be impeached as quickly as possible by the state legislature.
He can't govern.
He can't govern.
And Wolf, this was one investigation.
There's a whole separate series of issues around the nursing home scandal.
Whether the facts of all those deaths in the nursing homes due to COVID was covered up.
There's a scandal around the book he wrote with the help of state employees.
There's a scandal around giving out vaccine to political supporters and withholding vaccine supplies from opponents.
I mean, this guy is past the point of no return.
He can't govern.
He just has to go.
So de Blasio pulling out all the stops there and all the other stuff.
So maybe, so that does give credence to your Al Capone theory.
That they'll get him on this, but maybe it's de Blasio's job or he's taken it upon himself to make sure everybody knows what's really going on.
Yeah, I think there's some element of that.
But it's sad that they just can't nail him for the, and the same with Michigan and the same with Washington State.
I think those governors have something to account for, how that went with the old folks home.
We don't care about, you don't want to get old and alone in any country, not in the UK, where they put you to sleep.
Sniff this, granny.
They put you to sleep in here, they just, you know, I don't know.
They infect you.
Yeah.
So you get good numbers.
That's so sad.
We are living with maniacal human beings.
I have one more clip that's short here on the Cuomo investigation from ABC. Erin, the Attorney General describes what she calls a disturbing and clear picture painted by this investigation.
Walk us through some of these key findings.
Yes, she called it conduct by Governor Cuomo that corrodes the very fabric and character of state government.
Diane, over the last four months, investigators that she appointed found that Governor Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women, including nine current or former state employees.
These women interacted with Governor Cuomo in a number of different circumstances.
They also interacted, investigators said, with a state police trooper who acted as Cuomo's driver, and he is named in this report as well.
This investigation found non-consensual touching and suggestive comments that created what James called a toxic work environment.
Now, I didn't understand.
Now, it was the state trooper, he?
No, that's a mistake.
It's a woman.
That's what I was led to understand as well.
It's an attractive woman.
All of these women are attractive.
Yes, a couple of them are knockouts, actually.
Yeah, they're attractive.
But he saw this once.
She didn't even have the experience for the job, but he demanded they put her in that job.
I don't know what that guy, the he thing is.
Screwed up the simple report.
Yeah, there's no he in this deal.
I was tracking the eviction moratorium, which was I don't really have clips to play on it, but it's very interesting what took place here.
I had a couple of clips I didn't put them in.
No, I mean, everyone was yapping away, but the thing that you don't hear about is that there's $40 billion that's been dispersed to states and the money hasn't gotten to landlords.
No one, no one, and this is what's so disappointing.
Not a single report and everyone had their air time.
Everyone got, you know, especially Cori Bush.
She was almost regularly live on CNN. No one talks about why it's at the state level and it's not getting to landlords.
And we know why.
It's because the same people that are always screwing the poor people and the middle class of the United States...
Are the people who have risen up into those positions, these middle level, you know, really it's like Lightfoot from Chicago type people, just nincompoops who level up into something and their whole job is to not help you.
Except maybe they're cronies.
So when you hear that only 2% has been dispersed of this $40 billion, no one's looking into it.
Who got that?
Well, probably the big landlords.
Not the small people who then had to sign off on the dotted line.
Yeah, the big boys.
Yeah, the big boys.
The friendly boys.
Friendly with the system.
I have an example.
Across the street from my place in Port Angeles, there's a house that's always rented out.
Mm-hmm.
And it's a landlord with the one house there.
And the people that were living there who are moving out and moving to Oregon because they've, according to them and according to everybody, they think they pulled one over on the landlord because they didn't have to pay the rent for the last year.
The money they saved with the free money they got and not paying the rent.
Yep.
They've taken it on the lam and they have now enough money for a down payment in a home in Oregon.
Yes.
And the landlord is now just...
Screwed.
Screwed.
Now, just so we understand, and this is what's interesting about this particular topic...
And by the way, they were gloating about this maneuver.
Oh, I'm sure many are.
Yeah.
So, yes, that all happened.
People didn't have to pay rent.
Then people couldn't pay rent.
They'll never make the back pay.
So, in one of these multi-trillion dollar bills, $40 billion was set aside and sent to the states for the landlords.
And a lot of landlords said, I can't take the deal because you basically pay me now, but I can't evict this person even if they stop paying rent for another year.
So, that's a deal breaker.
But it's different per state.
And it's just what happens.
All of that always gets stuck and stolen and God knows where the money is.
But all of the representatives are like, well, Congress has to come back.
You have to do this.
We have to have a vote.
We have to have Biden do it.
Like, what?
The money was sent!
Go to where the problem is!
No.
Instead, they go to this whole rigmarole, which to me is really only to increase power they want, which is ridiculous.
And just for the background, the CDC issued this under a regulation that they can do if eviction would result in more...
Transmission of COVID, then they can, apparently, they can change this edict where you don't have to pay in a private contract, which is what it is, is what we're talking about.
Landlords went along with it, they were promised money, and then the money came, it had too many strings, and God knows if the money's even there.
And then they actually looked at the issue, could the CDC do this?
Is it legal for them to extend this moratorium, which had been extended twice already?
The Supreme Court of the United States said no!
And the President of the United States, Joe Biden, even said, well, you know, this probably won't be constitutional, but I'm going to let CDC do it.
And so now they've added another 60 days to the moratorium, only so we can have more of this crap coming up in the fall, and it'll be more of the same.
This is tragic what's happening here.
And if the president is willing to bend the rules with the Supreme Court on this, how does that work?
If the Supreme Court says, no, you can't do it, it's not constitutional, and the president allows it to happen anyway, what is the next step?
Impeach the president is what they should do.
Thank you.
I mean, what is the action?
Is that the step that is supposed to be taken?
Well, he's just violated the law blatantly.
Right.
So what is the only recourse is impeachment?
You can't have the military go in and arrest him and then unseal the thousands of sealed indictments and then let's be over with it and have Trump back as president before the end of August?
Yeah, that's not happening.
If the Congress is doing their job, which they're not, and they're all, you know, this is the Democrats, this is the way they operate.
What am I going to say?
Well, no, I'm asking the technical procedure when the president violates the law in Blake.
Yeah, he should be impeached.
Damn, Gina.
Well, I'll tell you this, when 2022 comes around, the opportunity to impeach the president is going to be a lot higher if the Republicans can take over.
I mean, you just wonder.
It's like, okay, if that was deemed by the U.S. Supreme Court as unconstitutional, what's stopping him from breaking any other law?
Hey, come in with your gun.
Hey, shut up.
You know, that kind of stuff.
Yeah, well, I mean, we're just one step away from that.
So this brings us to pissed off people.
This brings us to the insurrection.
As the purge continues, seriously, there's weird stuff.
So this is the narrative.
This is the narrative from media in general, Bill Maher, from his real-time show.
I don't know.
When I hear that...
That date, January 6th.
To me, it falls right in line with December 7th, September 11th, November 22nd.
Dates, you don't have to sell me or a sophisticated audience, you don't have to explain that.
We know what those numbers mean.
I don't think half the country sees it that way.
I don't think they see January 6th as that kind of date, where I do now.
I put them right together.
Like, a dark, horrible day in American history.
Unbelievable!
You know, people really see in a different movie.
And the idea that there's people fighting with cops outside, sure.
But was it really an insurrection?
Were they really going to stop The ratification of the vote.
They had no weapons, by the way.
Let's make that clear.
They forgot their pitchforks.
They didn't have any of that with them.
So yeah, it was ugly.
It was definitely not a good look.
Is it the worst thing that's ever happened to the Capitol?
Absolutely not.
But the real tragedy, the real tragedy of January 6th is this count and increasing count that is just brushed aside as, well, there you go.
Two more police officers who responded to the January 6th attack on the Capitol have died by suicide.
D.C. police say Metro Police Officer Gunther Hashida was found dead in his home last Thursday.
He'd been on the force since 2003.
The department also reported another officer, Kyle DeFreytag, also died by suicide last month.
Now, we don't know the exact circumstances surrounding either of their deaths, but what we do know in total is four officers who responded to the attack have died by suicide.
Okay, another stylistic question.
Growing up when I was a young cub reporter, For the Tribune.
We would say committed suicide.
What is this died-by-suicide shit all of a sudden?
Oh, I didn't even notice that.
The whole thing is they've died.
So now we have four Capitol Police officers who have died by suicide, as they say.
Not committed suicide, died by suicide.
Leaving no note, no reason for...
Listen to the style again of this report.
Two more police officers who responded to the January 6th attack on the Capitol have died by suicide.
DC police say Metro Police Officer Gunther Hashida was found dead in his home last Thursday.
He'd been on the force since 2003.
The department also reported another officer, Kyle Defray Tagg, also died by suicide last month.
Now, we don't know the exact circumstances surrounding either I find that incredibly bizarre.
Well, the report now that you bring up the died by suicide.
Suicide is a death.
Yes, sure, but that's...
Died by suicide.
That's like died by death.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, he died by death.
Yeah.
Yeah, you would die by death.
That's what you would do.
Yeah.
So died by suicide.
Suicide is the death.
So died by death.
So there's something screwy about that.
That's a good catch, by the way.
And the fact that there's four of them and no notes and it's just four, you know, I mean, I would tend to think suicided for some reason.
It wouldn't go along with something.
I don't know.
It's very fishy.
And because it's D.C., as we remember by the Seth Rich investigation, nothing will come of it.
No one will investigate this properly.
There's something wrong in D.C. And yet they want to make it a state?
Are you nuts?
And then yesterday?
Was it yesterday or the day before?
The Pentagon?
The Pentagon shut down in a lockdown and a guard was stabbed to death?
Yeah.
Any news?
Another sketchy story.
We don't know any details.
Come on.
What's going on?
Is no one curious?
All we do is just COVID, COVID, COVID, COVID, death, destruction, lockdown, vaccine, passport, COVID, COVID, COVID, COVID, COVID, COVID. Turn it off, people.
Turn it off.
Not that this has anything to do with what you just did, but I do have a couple of legacy clips.
Oh, we love the legs.
Here's one.
This is a clip from The View, which I think I saved because I believe it to be the epitome of The View.
One of the women came on, I think it was a guest, and she's hiding her hand, and then she holds up the fact that she's got an engagement ring on her finger.
And she says, ice.
And hilarity ensues.
Here we go.
Lady but also he's he's very happy because he's happy for me because I just got in
Wow
Oh my god We didn't know!
She didn't even tell her!
But I did tell her because she's still in the game!
I was sitting here trying to talk about Stephen Colbert going like, I don't know what I'm saying!
I don't care about Stephen Colbert!
But you kept talking with your hand down like this!
That can't be real!
It's a yellow sapphire and I want to tell you how it happened.
Do I have time?
Yes!
We'll have time!
Well, that woke me up.
Yeah.
So this is how guys do it on the No Agenda show.
Yeah, master, marry me.
Now this...
Now, here's what I've learned recently.
You might have heard me say it before.
This is a thing women are doing now to each other.
To show that you're engaged and you've got a man, you flash your hand up and you go, ice.
So you flash up the hand with a ring and you go, ice.
Who does this?
Bro, get with the program.
You gotta be watching the TikToks and the reels, baby.
Ice!
This is a thing.
This is a thing.
I mean, it's no different than this nuttiness.
Oh, they went nuts here.
This is like, this is supposed to be a...
People watch this for some news analysis?
Please.
What are they watching this for?
You're not going to get all high and mighty about this being a news show now, are you?
Well, I don't know.
I mean, what's it supposed to be?
I don't know.
Just a bunch of gaggle of...
I don't know.
I can't say.
I did do something else from the archives.
Okay.
I found the entire Let's Get Social clip, which I don't think we've ever played completely.
The whole thing?
You're not going to play four minutes of that?
No, I'm not playing that, but I took up one minute slice out of it, which is actually interesting if you can hear the lyrics, because the lyrics are quite disturbing.
No.
Wow, you're really reaching back into the archives for the show.
Well, when I found the whole thing, I used to think, oh, I didn't realize it's like the whole thing.
But the one minute mini clip is educational.
But the whole thing, I wanted to put it into the files because if you're ever short of after show.
Ah, I see, I see.
End of show material, which is not today.
No.
But you have the whole thing to play, and believe me, the whole thing is worth the end of show, but it's not worth it.
Maria McCormick?
Is that her name?
Amy McCormick?
Mary McGuire or Mary McGuire or something, yeah.
I think it's McCormick.
So, this is from a social media conference that was one of the earlier ones.
This is a while ago.
This is now seven, eight years ago.
I have to say that...
This was obviously never played in its entirety on the show because I'm the one who collected it.
And I needed to really spend about ten minutes equalizing and bringing up the crap and compressing to get it so it's playable.
So the whole long one was actually pretty good.
But the little short thing I thought would be a good little intermezzo.
I mean, we could also play it in the third block.
No, no, I'm...
Hey, there's always, always time for getting social.
We're searching for the story that'll bring us instant fame.
So we shoot our viral video and we post it to the gram.
We're looking for the secret of Facebook's holy prayer.
We try to keep from paying all that leads to hashtag fail.
So connect with me and have some fun.
Let's show the world how this gets done.
Let's get social with social media.
Let's get social with social media.
Where we can spread the word and grow our reach and find our fans in their news feeds.

I'm going to show myself old by donating to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.

Abby?
Beginning with...
By the way, best transition to donation segment ever.
It was good.
Yeah, I like it.
Every time you do something like that, you always brag about it.
No, I'm talking about you bringing that clip.
I mean, that's what I'm talking about.
Oh, the clip.
The clip was just a beautiful, beautiful way to leave reality and get social with each other.
Yeah, I was just posted on the gram.

Dame Judy Schwartz, Baroness of Kendall County in Bernie, Texas, 572.
And she wrote this huge note for some reason.
No, what she sent is an update from the meetup, and I'll just, one quick thing, and I actually have a Bernie, or a Bandera meetup report, but she says the reason is that $50.72, they are, they actually are, the group uses the magic number 72.
And they asked everyone to donate $7.20, and there is something magical about $72 that everyone should look into.
So that's...
There you go.
Numerology people, look it up.
Susan Clay Camp is next with 5021, and the following people are $50 donors.
Name and location, if appropriate, or if I have it.
Starting with James Sharametta in Napanok, New York.
Rodney Lillibridge, who's got a birthday.
Sir Matthew Januszewski, who's still in Chicago.
Andrew Oxenham, and I say that for a reason, by the way, because of what's coming up.
Matthew, I'm sorry, Andrew Oxenham in Knoxville, Tennessee.
David Beach in San Antonio, Texas.
Dan Scalise in Vernon, Connecticut.
Chisholm Cook in Bolvard, Texas.
Troy Watson.
Michael McInnes.
Loretta Vandenberg in Provencal, Louisiana.
Oh, you've got a de-douching for Michael McInnes.
Sorry about this and that.
All right.
Well, hold on a second.
You've been de-douched.
Loretta Vandenberg, Villarreal, Villarreal, my favorite name.
And then finally, Jason Deluzio.
And I've always been, Sir Jason, he's been on this, giving us $50 for years.
And it's always been in Chatsford, Pennsylvania.
Now, it appears as if he's moved wisely to Miami Beach where he can party.
All right.
Very smart.
And now that he's moved to Miami Beach, he actually left a little message, 69 forever, he says.
Okay.
Okay, well, there you have it.
Welcome to Florida.
That's our group of producers for show 1370.
He donated a happy birthday for his buddy Sir Chris, but he also wanted a de-douching since it was his first time around.
You've been de-douched.
And Andrew Ecternak put his girlfriend Hannah Knob on the birthday list, but also wanted a de-douching.
You've been de-douched.
Thank you all very much.
These are our producers.
Everyone here has participated in producing episode 1370 of the best podcast in the universe.
Why is it the best podcast in the universe?
Because we have the best producers in the universe.
And also thanks to everyone who came in under $50, typically for anonymity.
I do want to read a quick note from Nigel.
Good afternoon, he says.
Recently, as the world has gone crazy around me, I've realized how valuable the No Agenda show is to me.
I then started to think what I would be like as a person if I had never discovered your podcast and continued to be informed by it.
That's when I discovered not only are you and John keeping me sane, but you've helped me become the man that I am today.
I'm also teaching my children to not just believe what they see, read, or are told, but also to look into themselves and discover the truth for themselves.
I would love to become an Insta Knight or be able to donate hundreds of dollars regularly, but I can't.
I can, however, become a monthly subscriber, which I've now become.
Thank you for all you do.
And that's the whole point, Nigel.
Thank you.
That's how value for value works.
It's what's of value to you, what is valuable to you, and it sounds like that's a lot for you, and we really appreciate it, and everyone else who supported The No Agenda Show.
Thank you.
For more information, go to...
And here's our list.
You just heard Andrew Ektenach say happy birthday to his girlfriend, Hannah Knob.
She celebrates today.
Max Fluitt, happy birthday to Mr.
Christopher.
The benevolent order of the choo-choos also celebrating today.
Tomorrow, Dave Matthew turns 44.
And Dave Meowterson is the one who sends along the happy birthday wishes.
Rodney Lillibridge, happy birthday to Willie, who turns 48 tomorrow.
And finally, the Redwood Jew turns 48 on August 10th.
Happy birthday from everybody here at...
at the best podcast in the universe.
One title change for today, that is Sir Keith McColpen, who becomes a baronet.
That's B-A-R-O-N-E-T, no...
Thank you very much, Sir Keith, now known as Baronet.
Keith McColpin, thank you for supporting the No Agenda show.
Again, in the amount of $1,000 or more, anyone can do this.
People have done this for years and years.
It's fun to get your titles, really to have the full benefits of being a knight or a dame, which includes a very handsome ring and wax to seal your envelopes with and use the signet ring and an official Certification.
However, no one qualified today.
No knights, no dames.
Yeah, it's weird.
It is kind of.
Well, everything's been a little bit short today.
It's okay.
We're still doing the best darn deconstruction we can, and we've got places for you to travel to and join in the fun.
No agenda beat-ups!
It's not your party today!
I think we are one of the few podcasts anywhere that have these meetups and have it organized by the producers themselves.
All around the world, people get together, sometimes on a daily basis, just to hang out and have a place where you know it's going to be diverse, it's going to be interesting, not everyone will agree, but it's going to be civil, fun, and usually drink and have a good time.
And we have some reports from right down the road, Bandera, Texas.
Hey, this is Laura Allen.
I organized this Kung Flu, and I'm here with my smoking hot husband who named it.
Hey, Kyle Allen here at the Bandera Meetup.
Total success.
And thank you guys for what you do in the morning.
This is Judy, and I love you, John.
Taylor County here, where there's a serious debate on which beer is better, Shiner Bock or Lone Star.
Logan here.
It's Lone Star.
And this is Russ, Kyle's brother from Brothers of the Servant Podcast.
And yes, the meetup was a great success.
And thank you guys so much for your podcast.
It keeps us all sane.
It's morning!
Thank you for your courage.
I gotta say, I like the produced bits.
That was nicely done.
Thank you very much.
Saltwater Slaves in Florida, come on in.
This is Audrey.
I'm from the Salt Air Slaves, and I want you to know this is a douchebag-free zone.
And with that being said, John, please turn your speakers down.
And with that being said, stay safe.
Hey, John and Adam, this is Jake from Tampa here.
Hopefully not douchebag for too long at the meet-up in the morning.
Hi.
Hi, guys!
This is Joan.
I want to let you know that the Tampa Bay Area Salt Air Slaves meeting has been fabulous.
It's our second meeting.
I'm so happy to let you know that my social credit score is now 333.

We're catchers in Florida.
And just love you guys.
Thanks so much for the ideas, the thinking, keeping my amygdala small.
We love you guys.
This is John Wayne Carlson.
I'm here at the Saltwater Slaves Meetup, meeting up with some old friends again.
This is great.
ITM. This is Sir Bark Ultra, checking in.
I'm waiting on my handler, Adam, to play my Sharpton Trigger clip, so I need to come.
This is Heather in the morning.
John, this is Kevin.
Second meetup.
Happy to be here.
Stay safe.
I am happy to report John C. Dvorak.
We've had a good time here in the meetup, and thank you guys so much for what you do.
Alright.
Saltwater Slaves.
Nice to hear.
Kind of a 50-50 mix there with the ratio of seeding persons to birthing persons.
It's nice.
It used to be just dudes.
Dudes getting together like, okay, over that podcast.
Here's what's on the calendar for the next few days.
Friday, the Miscreants of Culture, Beer and Art Meetup in Philly, PA, 6 o'clock at the Cherry Street Pier.
That is your local 76 doing that.
Also on Saturday, Peterborough, Ontario, the Canada Cottage Country Meetup at 6.33 at Riley's.
On Saturday, the Fine Wine with Good People at Healdsburg, California.
This is...
Now something, it says if you RSVP'd early and not received a reply, something got messed up.
What happened?
Explain what happened.
Well, this is the meetup in Healdsburg at the...
Yeah, this is the winery.
This is the one you were going to go to.
I'm going to this meetup.
Oh, good.
Okay.
I'm going to take me if she gets, you know, here in time.
Oh.
Which she should do.
Well, that's your anniversary is on Monday, is it not?
Sunday.
It's on the show.
Oh, how come it says August 7th then?
Oh, I'm sorry.
That's my mistake.
I'll shut up.
Yeah, Saturday is the meetup.
I got you.
So here's what happened.
So it got, you know, Amy or something, it got posted awkwardly and Mimi posted it and she did something to make it so all the RSVPs went to her.
And Mimi sees a bunch of stuff coming out of it.
She just throws it away until she realizes what she's been doing.
And the way she's got her email stuff, it's not that she has a purge tank that you can go back to and fix.
No, it's trash.
So she goes, purge tank.
And so she's, oh, I must have thrown away 10 of the RSVPs, and the RSVP included the directions to get to the house where the meetup is.
Oh, no.
It's a winery house kind of thing.
So anyone who doesn't get their confirmation, they should re-RSVP, and it'll be taken care of.
Okay.
Well, it sounds like it's going to be a good time.
It might be.
I'm a little jealous.
It's going to be a lot of people, a lot more than they anticipated.
It's going to be dynamite.
All right, we expect a report.
Then also on Saturday, the Grand Prix, Nashville, Tennessee, Speed and Smoke Weekend at 10 o'clock.
We start early there at Music City Grand Prix.
Those who are interested should read the posts.
Okay.
On Saturday the 7th as well, the Deutsch Bags Meetup No.
3 at Kaiserslautern, Reinald Pfalz, Germany, 2 o'clock.
And that will be Kartenschau Kaiserslautern.
And that is in Reinald Pfalz in Germany.
Before the lockdown...
Better get it in quick.
Leo Sun Fun in the Sun, Red 33, Red 33 Boston Meetup at 2.30 on Saturday at Hennessy's on Union Street.
The Valley of the Relentless Sunday FR9 Meetup, 5 o'clock Phoenix time.
That'll be at, what is this, Brenda's Inferno, formerly Armadillo Grill.
We have the Love is Lit meetup in Switzerland at 6 o'clock at Perper Seedfeldstraße 9 in Zurich.
Oh, that'd be great.
Now, it's only been a few people each time, but I think they are growing there at the Swiss meetup.
Yeah, they gotta get it together.
Jump on the train, the high-speed rail, boom, you're in Zurich.
On Sunday, the Spot the Spook meetup in Arlington, Virginia at Dudley Sport and Ale.
Also, the Nashville Pit Stop meetup at 1230 at the Southern Grist Brewing.
And on Monday the 9th, the Base Bowling at the Boardwalk Bowl in Santa Cruz, California, 6 o'clock.
That'll be at the Boardwalk Bowl.
And I see...
Stuff on the calendar all the way through August into September.
And I think August 22nd, New Braunfels, Texas.
I think we also, I think there's another, there's got to be another Austin meetup.
I have to go to a meetup pretty soon, or hopefully to get one before I leave to go see my daughter at the end of the month.
If they don't lock you out.
Don't even say that, please.
Don't say that.
And then the report I had, I don't have it as a clip, but people are flying someplace and they cancel half the flights on the way back.
They get stuck.
There may be a meetup at the airport.
You never know.
These are the meetups through the next show.
If you want to find out where there's a meetup taking place near you, go to noagendameetups.com.
If you can't find one near you, here's an idea.
Start one yourself.
They are just like a party.
You wanna go hang out with all the nights and days.
You wanna be where you want me.
Triggered or held the flame.
You wanna be where everybody feels the same.
It's like a party.
Alright, we should look at some isowage.
I have a few.
Okay, hold on a second.
Let me get rid of this.
Okay, what do you have?
ISO-wise.
Okay, I've got DARPA. DARPA. Okay, here we go.
DARPA, does that ring a bell?
Okay.
Okay, that's no good.
Now that I hear it.
You hear it too, huh?
Never.
Never.
That never happened.
I mean, I can pump that up.
Here, let me try.
I got three.
See if there's anything here that you like.
Hit me with a voicemail!
Oh, yeah.
I just kind of like that one.
Hit me with a voicemail!
And then donate.
I thought that might be good for the...
Ooh, I like that one.
How about this one?
It's wacky.
Ah, there's the winner.
That's kind of the winner, isn't it?
Yeah.
I thought you'd like that.
Alright, anything else that we need to discuss before we go back to checking everything, seeing what the hell they've come up with now?
I have a couple of leftover clips.
There's one I want to play, which is the Canadian Strike WTF clip.
Okay.
Any setup or just go into it?
This is about, you know, the Border Patrol is going to go on strike.
Oh, I didn't know this.
In Canada.
Yeah, I think we talked about it once.
And they're going to go on strike, and there's some aspect to this report that is kind of, what?
Are you talking, what?
What?
Canada's Border Services agents have issued a strike notice.
As Dan Carbinchuk reports, they're preparing to walk off the job on Friday.
Unless averted, the action will come just days before Canada is set to open the border to fully vaccinated Americans and permanent residents.
Travelers could expect long lineups and delays at border crossings and airports.
9,000 border service agency workers have been without a contract for more than three years.
Their union says if no deal is reached by 6 a.m.
Friday, its members will begin what it calls a series of actions at airports, land borders, commercial shipping ports, and postal facilities.
Services will continue since 90% of the workers have been identified as essential.
At issue are better protections for staff and a union claim of a toxic workplace culture.
Now, does this shut down all trade with Canada as well, or open it up so that no one cares, you can just walk over?
Did you listen to the end of that report?
I did.
90% of all these people are essential, so they're not walking off nothing, so they're losing 10% of their workforce, and this is like a big deal?
Yeah.
That's the WTF part of the clip.
What's the big deal?
So you got 10% of your workforce leaving, the other guys just do a little overtime.
They're probably happy.
I didn't know it was only 10%.
Why is this 10% special?
No, they're the 10% that I guess are not considered essential.
Oh.
See, at the very end it says 90% are essential.
I see, I see.
And the 10% aren't essential, and what do they do?
I don't know.
Stay home.
This is like some sort of a bogus story.
That is weird.
Oh, you know, before we go...
There were a couple of emails that came in about supply chains.
We've been kind of looking at those.
I want to run down a few things and then ask you about one particular topic.
One, we got here from a freight broker that the load boards have been having glitches over the past couple of weeks.
These are Systems that are industry-wide, kind of like airline scheduling in a way.
And so they have probably microservices architecture problems.
The shipping containers continues to be an issue.
The actual availability of shipping containers, which now has a term, container dislocation.
Because they don't actually know where the containers are.
Oh, they all...
Okay.
Yeah.
I believe that's true.
Yeah, I think that's true as well.
Now, we're actually...
We're building some shelves in the garage for some of my shit.
You know, my boxes.
You know, it's...
I would call it my stuff and Tina calls it my shit.
Lumber prices have gone down 40% here.
Two by four is now four bucks.
It was, like, almost eight.
Or over eight, I think it was.
So that's just my own personal experience.
Then we had this morning a freight train carrying Ford F-150 pickups derailed in Missouri.
This F-150 is all over the place.
Free trucks.
Some of them don't look so good anymore, which is a bummer because people are waiting for cars.
But then this email, I'll just read a little piece from an anonymous producer and Eagle Scout, so that always gets some credence.
He started off by saying, you know, I've been putting this off, but you successfully pushed me over the edge with the Sandy Cortez clip about inflation, not having enough ports and chips.
And he says, it's really quite simple what happened.
And he reminds us of the massive monsoon that hit Thailand in 2011.
Do you remember that?
What happened?
What got really expensive?
No, I don't remember.
You were the one that brought it up.
Hard disks.
Hard drives.
Because it wiped out the entire manufacturing operations for Western Digital.
One of the factories was wiped out.
Right.
And then you were tracking the price of hard drives, remember?
It was like $400, all of a sudden it was going to some outrageous prices.
They were overpriced at the time.
Yeah.
So this producer says, this is exactly the same.
People who have it are hoarding it, others who got it.
I mean, look, it's like the toilet paper all over again.
There was no actual shortage of toilet paper.
That might have been a blip, but people start going crazy.
And it's no different, he says, with the chip supply chain.
And, you know, this shit's being priced.
$7 Wi-Fi modules now going for $70.
So it all just has to settle down.
And I think that's true.
And it will settle down.
There's going to be lots of bumps.
But even the housing market, we might have sold our house just in time.
You sold your house right on the money.
On the apex.
Yeah.
That's fantastic.
By the way, don't ever expect that to happen again in your entire life.
Well, you know, that's good news because this is Feet First Out, man.
I'm dying spitting in this microphone right here.
Dimmer, buzz and all.
I'm done moving.
I'm done moving.
Alright, let me see what we have coming up next on the No Agenda stream at Trollroom.io.
Bowl after bowl, Sir Spencer and Dame Lorian.
That should be dynamite.
And the show mixes, Soundguy Steve, Tom Starkweather, and since you triggered me earlier with a little bit of madness, I'm going to put some Pajmasta in there with a baggy cut-up just to get it out of my system.
And I am coming to you from the heart of Texas, Texas, Texas, Texas Hill, 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 we're experiencing Delta Mania, I'm John C. Dvorak.
We return on Sunday right here with another two, three, how many hours you need of media deconstruction.
Until then, adios, mofos!
Remember us at dvorak.org slash na and such.
Dvorak.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and boys and girls, step right up for the COVID Delta Suncast.
I don't think people should be frightened.
The risk right now is really relatively low, but that could change.
Tonight, new findings from the CDC say the war has changed in the battle against COVID. The CDC makes recommendations based on data because it's a science-based organization.
The CDC monitors breakthrough infections in numerous ways.
We're seeing it start to creep up now.
I don't want to say surge because surge means you get a really high increase.
We have a virus out there now, this variant, that spreads really quite efficiently.
The CDC says that the war has changed and it's because of the Delta variant.
We get asked all the time.
Should we be double masking?
There's nothing wrong with people wearing two masks.
Alarming new data from the CDC. The new studies played a key role in the agency changing its mask guidance earlier in the week.
This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated.
Did you think that there would be another wave there was that?
I honestly didn't.
Tonight, another major turning point in the pandemic.
As COVID cases soar.
I don't think we're going to see lockdown.
So where do we go from here?
Is this a temporary setback for a deadly new trend?
I think what we're going to be seeing, and I know we're going to be seeing, are sticking to the guidelines.
The CDC's presentation is alarming in many ways.
Let's get down to the facts.
This Delta variant continues to tear through the country.
Things are going to get worse.
America's COVID recovery is slipping away.
This is going to be a big deal.
It's showing how American science and technology American business and academia and our government can all work together.
Only if you're not vaccinated, only five minutes of exposure can infect you.
Want to enjoy everything great in this summer of New York City?
Go get vaccinated.
It will do for you so many things.
It will make your life better.
It will make all our lives better.
I want a pill that blocks a specific viral function.
It commands our whole attention, absorbs our very beings.
We're not selling them.
When a person who's vaccinated gets a breakthrough infection, which is a natural thing to see because no vaccine is 100% effective.
