	What?
	My Sparky died?
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	It's early August 12th, 2021.
	This is your award-winning Get My Nation Media Assassination episode 1372.
	This is No Agenda.
	Rereading script and broadcasting live from the heart of Texas Hill Country.
	We're in FEMA region number six in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where they've replaced the protocols of the elders of Zion with the protocols of the CDC. I'm John C. Devorak.
	It's Craig Vaughn and Buzzkill in the morning.
	Let's get some anti-Semitic stuff right off the top.
	Let's go for it.
	It's always a winner.
	Have they really?
	What?
	Have they really replaced the protocols of the elders of Zion with the protocols of the CDC? And are they the same thing?
	Yes, they're the same thing.
	Yeah, it's, you know, we gotta, I know you have a 3x3, but holy crap, man, they are really going for it once again.
	They've gone off the rails.
	I have.
	Actually, my 3x3 will lead right into this.
	Oh, okay, it's time.
	5, 3x3, oh yeah.
	Experiment by JCD. Comparing stories from ABC, CBS, and NBC. That's right, ladies and gentlemen.
	John C. DeVore checked out the news for you this morning.
	The News on the Big 3 ABC, CBS, NBC. John, what are you learning?
	What?
	What?
	Did you lose your 3x3 notes?
	I grabbed the wrong notebook.
	Look, I'll just do it again, and no one will know any different.
	We'll fix it in the edit.
	Here we go.
	No, no, you stop tape.
	Let me go get the right notebook.
	Stop tape?
	Oh, my God.
	Okay.
	Okay, so I have two reporter's notebooks.
	I found this desk and I picked up the wrong one.
	Oh, okay.
	You have the right one now?
	The correct one?
	Yeah, I'm ready to run.
	And now it's time for a 3x3 experiment by Jesse Dean.
	Oh, yeah, baby.
	Comparing stories from ABC, CBS, and NBC. The never-ending 3x3.
	That's right, it's where John C. DeBoer checks out all the news for you this morning on ABC, CBS, and NBC. John, what are you learning?
	What I'm learning is that my thesis that ABC has become kind of a home shopping network.
	Yes, you've been on this for a while.
	And NBC is now the...
	You know, celebrity news.
	And so let's start with ABC. They had a Friday night football game fashion report.
	So what you could, I guess you could, I don't know how many people dress up to watch Friday night football, but there's a whole segment.
	And then a school picture style TikTok girl who was showing you what you can wear to school.
	TikTok-wise.
	Hold on.
	What is TikTok-wise fashion?
	What does it look like?
	White.
	Is it like that kid from The Intern?
	Did you see that?
	No.
	Jen Psaki had a TikToker come in and pretended to be a White House intern.
	Oh, jeez.
	Oh, gosh.
	I'll play it for you later.
	I can't believe it.
	It sounds disgusting.
	It's really odd.
	And then they're going to kick it to Bobby Flay talking about his new restaurant in New York because that's so important to the world.
	Bobby Flay, what's he known for?
	He's a celebrity chef.
	I met him once.
	He's a pretty nice guy.
	And was it all about his COVID rules for his new restaurant?
	No, not at all.
	Because ABC is only doing stuff that's got something to do with selling goods and services.
	They're just making money.
	They don't care.
	Right.
	So then NBC, we cut to NBC and it's your buddy, L. Roker, who's now become, he's gone from weatherman to celebrity interviewer.
	Oh my.
	He finally got where he wanted to be.
	He always hated being this stupid schmuck who has to do the human interest dipshit story with the 3,000 year old lady.
	And he finally weaseled his way in.
	Yeah, well he did it.
	No talent, arrogance.
	And so he was interviewing Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard about their game show that they have on one of the, I guess NBC, I'm not sure what network is on.
	I'm not even familiar with the show and they never mention the name of the show.
	They just yak about them.
	So that was at the end.
	It's on their own network, right?
	I guess.
	Must be.
	They're not going to promote a different show, different network.
	Well, I've seen it done, but I wouldn't do it.
	I wouldn't allow it.
	No.
	If I was a suit.
	Yeah, just no.
	And then we go to CBS, which really actually has some news things.
	But what kind of news was it?
	Ah, yeah.
	It was your COVID Questions Answered segment.
	Woo!
	All right, everybody.
	Here we go.
	We've got Dr.
	John C. Dvorak for your COVID Questions Answered.
	Well, this was Dr.
	Agus.
	A-G-U-S. Agus.
	And he is talking about, oh, you know, this is still going to continue to be a mess until we vaccinate children.
	And until we vaccinate children, the children should be wearing masks until they get vaccines and the vaccine should be approved.
	And then, this is all what it was about mainly, but there was a little kicker in there.
	The guy mentions that according to Pfizer, the efficacy of their own vaccines is losing 6% per month.
	So it's at 42%?
	So right off the bat, they're below J&J. Oh my.
	6% per month.
	So it's lost more than half.
	And then he kind of suggested the booster should be just another third shot of the same stuff and then maybe something different down the line.
	I'm sorry.
	I feel so bad for people that bought into the BS. I can't wait to see how they're going to do the vaccine passports with the add-on of the third booster because you're not fully vaccinated.
	Believe me, none of those systems are set up for that.
	That's going to be great.
	No one's approved now.
	Well, I will lead you into some of your clips.
	I have some clips too, so don't...
	Don't note.
	Don't not note.
	But Stanford, you know, Cal has said, oh, y'all have to be vaccinated.
	In a meetup they had recently in Walnut Creek, I was talking to some Cal employees, and they were bitching about this situation.
	But Stanford had the same kind of thing, but now they've changed it.
	So whether you're vaccinated or not, you have to be tested weekly.
	The whole campus has to be tested weekly.
	And you don't have to wear a mask.
	Thanks.
	Thanks, Perez.
	What a fiasco.
	Ah, it's dynamite.
	You know what it is?
	This is the emperor has no clothes.
	The emperor has no cure.
	It's just that you can't say it.
	Everyone's afraid to say, hey, it clearly doesn't work.
	The only thing we've got is, oh, but you won't get as sick.
	Have you ever heard a quantification of that, or a qualification of the number, or an understanding of what not-so-sick means?
	Nope.
	Okay.
	Well, that was a typical, typical 3x3.
	Thank you very much.
	I'll give you the local 1x1, which is Austin, Texas, about 80 miles down the road from us.
	Where they've gone into stage five.
	Cannot get any worse than that.
	That's right.
	Lock it down.
	We've got curbside pickup for restaurants back in effect.
	We have school mask mandates defying the governor.
	Because this is all political, I'll get to that.
	And here's a quick news report.
	We're in Austin, Texas.
	Oh, wait.
	I'm sorry.
	I went too early with that one.
	It's a hurricane report.
	No, well, okay, so first I have to read the report.
	So this is where the political part comes in.
	It's so bad in Austin, you'll never guess what's happening.
	We're running out.
	We're running out of ICU beds.
	Now, where we heard this before, this is how the script works, and let's just talk about it for a second.
	Everywhere, big headlines.
	Texas Governor Abbott screwed it up!
	He seeks out-of-state help against COVID. Out-of-state help we need.
	Oh my gosh, we need out-of-state help.
	We don't have the beds.
	We don't have the room.
	So you read through this.
	Governor Greg Abbott appealed for out-of-state help to fight the third wave of COVID-19 in Texas, while two more of the state's largest school districts announced mask mandates in defiance of the governor.
	Abbott's request Monday came as a county-owned hospital in Houston raised tents to accommodate their COVID-19 overflow.
	Private hospitals in the county already were requiring their staff to be vaccinated against coronavirus.
	So if you read down and then link to the next story, which this is based on, let's look at the help that the Republican governor asked for from out of state.
	Okay.
	The Republican governor has directed the Texas State Department of State Health Services to use staffing agencies to find additional medical staff from beyond the state's borders because They fired all the...
	So much staff during this first run of the script.
	Especially in Houston.
	Hundreds were fired.
	Hundreds were fired because they would not come back to work for taking the jab.
	They wouldn't take the shot.
	And that's the problem.
	I mean, even if you just look at the bogus PCR case numbers...
	There's nothing like when we were setting up tents and running out of beds a year ago.
	It's horseshit.
	It's a lie.
	Here is a, on the spot, someone right there at the Austin Medical Center.
	We are in Austin, Texas, where they tell us we are on level five, which is the highest possible COVID rating because our hospitals are being overrun.
	And as you can see, there's no one waiting for COVID testing ever.
	We've been here three months and there's never been anybody in the line.
	And we just went through the parking garage, which all five floors are basically empty now.
	There are 18 cars in the parking lot in a hospital that is over Now, this is part of the script, of course, because we had the guys in New York on the street going, this is stupid.
	There's no one here.
	There's no dead people.
	There's no lines to get in.
	It's the same script.
	And so, yes, the nurses who use it.
	It's the same script.
	I think it's the same.
	I wouldn't call that part of it a script.
	i mean it's it from a distance it looks like exactly the same script but is it scripted i don't believe it's scripted that some no no no no i'm sorry no no no not that guy but if you were to read the whole scenario the this is clearly an improv in the script but it's very similar to the one we heard the first time around so yeah no this guy is not it's almost identical this guy is not Where's the mercy ships?
	Well, before we get to the mercy ships, we have to go back to a year ago in China.
	Authorities in China take harsh measures.
	I'm sorry, this is not from a year ago.
	This is now.
	This is a report from today.
	Authorities in China take harsh measures, working to control the country's emerging virus outbreaks.
	Residents reportedly sealed inside their homes.
	That's if they don't comply with harsh pandemic restrictions.
	The gate of a neighborhood is welded shut soon after a confirmed virus case was discovered there.
	Residents living in some city high-rises heard cries for help.
	This is exactly what they did last time.
	They boarded people in.
	They boarded people up.
	They welded their doors shut.
	People yelling, trying to get out.
	Okay, so that's successful.
	Then let's shut down the world's third busiest port.
	That's right.
	Again, the eastern China port, container port, shut due to COVID. Can't do anything.
	Ooh, boy.
	Now, let's look at...
	Well, let's go to ABC for a second.
	No, it's okay.
	The script part isn't...
	Ooh, boy.
	But it's true.
	It's crazy.
	It's so obvious.
	Good Wednesday morning, everyone.
	We begin with the pandemic and a new forecast that warrants COVID hospitalizations could quadruple by Labor Day.
	In Alabama, huh?
	Hospitalizations are up 1,000% since July 1st.
	And in North Texas, hospitals in the region are so full, they have only two ICU beds available for children.
	The sharp increase in infections among children has prompted more school districts to impose mask mandates.
	And now, Dr.
	Anthony Fauci says he supports a vaccine mandate for teachers.
	Of course.
	Now, producer Mike Z was kind enough to get a couple of stats talking about Florida specifically.
	Hospitals are correlated in the database people in the household with positive PCR result.
	In lots of places, that classification doesn't make the distinction between in the hospital because you clearly have COVID or in the hospital for something else.
	It's the same thing.
	The 40% of the children hospitalized in two hospitals in California didn't have the disease.
	They just had a positive PCR. And these children have a lot of respiratory issues from wearing masks.
	It's not publicized, but there's studies everywhere about it.
	So, you know, it's fear-mongering and it's child abuse once again.
	And they've got moveon.org petitions now in Austin.
	Oh, we have to hashtag cancel ACL Music Festival.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	This is it.
	They want to kill everything.
	They want to kill Austin, for sure.
	If we don't have the...
	Austin's a Democrat stronghold.
	Why would they want to kill Austin?
	Well, it's the Democrats' stronghold of Austin who is killing Austin.
	Why?
	I don't know.
	For the same reason they want homeless people everywhere?
	I don't know.
	I mean, look at California.
	It's the same thing.
	Austin, California.
	So, oh, let's just shut down more of the income for the city.
	Cancel it all.
	That's perfect.
	Perfect.
	But not as perfect as what is now known as the shielding approach.
	And this was published by the CDC in 2020.
	It's published as the Interim Operational Considerations for Implementing the Shielding Approach.
	And it has not been implemented here.
	And a lot of people are pointing to it and saying, oh, look what's coming!
	Eh, maybe, I don't know.
	But the Shielding Approach aims to reduce the number of severe COVID-19 cases by limiting contact between individuals at higher risk of developing severe disease.
	And the way they do it is FEMA camps.
	Camps.
	Everything is in here.
	Camp sector level.
	It's the whole thing.
	You get green zones.
	You get people who are allowed in green zones.
	And it has not happened here.
	I doubt it will happen here.
	But you know where it's taking place?
	In Australia.
	JCT will enter into...
	This is Australian Capital Territories.
	Canberra has shut down for at least a week.
	It's just the start.
	JCT will enter into a seven-day lockdown from 5pm tonight.
	This decision is as the result of a positive COVID-19 case.
	One case!
	A case that's been infectious in the community.
	We also have positive wastewater detections around the OCT. We do not currently know the source of the infection, but extensive investigation has been underway for many hours.
	This is the most serious public health risk that we have faced in the Territory this year, and really since the beginning of the pandemic.
	This will be the first time that the ACT has entered into a lockdown this year, and really only the second time throughout the near 18 months of this pandemic.
	So there you go.
	This is the shielding approach.
	It's a zero-COVID approach, and they're very serious about it.
	The people we know, like Sir Chris Wilson, is locked in his house now for six weeks.
	This is not the kind of guy you can lock up like that.
	By the way, I got a note from a producer who said, you know, you guys are wrong about Australia.
	He said, yeah, we may come across as brash and brave, but really we're still the imperial penal colony and we are very much rule followers.
	I That was never the impression I got, which of course is based on one series of movies only.
	Crocodile Dundee and Mel Gibson as Mad Max.
	But no, they are just completely compliant.
	And you like to mention, and I think it's worth mentioning, that they had their guns taken away and they were very passive about it.
	And they don't stand up for themselves.
	And it's obvious they get pushed around a lot by their government.
	And they've had some horrible people running the government, including that miserable redhead woman.
	She is miserable.
	The one that don't talk to your neighbor's lady?
	I don't remember.
	There's a million of them.
	But yeah, we have a misconception of the Australians and New Zealanders for that matter.
	So here is the lie that needs to be propagated.
	We have to completely forget science, and it needs to be put in your face all the time.
	This is from Newsy.
	R-naught.
	It's a number that shows how contagious a virus is.
	Jason Farley with Johns Hopkins breaks it down.
	Before Delta, COVID's R-naught was closest to Zika virus, or HIV. We thought it was around between 1.5 to 2 to 3, depending on the estimates.
	In other words, one infected person, on average, got 2 to 3 other people sick.
	But now with Delta...
	We're seeing it again, that R-naught, a 5, 6, 6-plus.
	Meaning slowing spread and getting herd immunity just got much harder.
	Another way to put it, think about infectious diseases on a contagious ladder.
	With Delta, it's about two rungs down from the likes of measles and whooping cough.
	For measles, experts say some 95% of folks would need vaccinations for herd immunity.
	If we mean by herd immunity, you're just not going to see any COVID in your community.
	It may require 90, 95%, a number we probably can't get to until we start vaccinating kids.
	Come on!
	Just hear that last bit again.
	And with the possibility...
	Oops.
	With Delta, it's about two rungs down from the likes of measles and whooping cough.
	By the way, by the way, the...
	Sorry, I keep hitting the wrong clip.
	The contagiousness is two rungs down from measles and Zika.
	What happened to chicken pox?
	She said measles and whooping cough.
	It just got much harder.
	Another way to put it, think about infectious diseases on a contagious ladder.
	With Delta, it's about two rungs down from the likes of measles and whooping cough.
	I'm sorry.
	Yes, whooping cough.
	So it's two rungs down.
	What happened?
	The leaked CDC document said it was as contagious as chickenpox.
	Is that more contagious than measles or less contagious?
	She doesn't read the whole rung of ladder things.
	No, she says we're too down.
	So we're too down.
	We're too down from measles and whooping cough.
	Where's chicken pox and Zika and common cold, I think.
	If you're going to make these enough, for one thing, nobody has whooping cough.
	And the measles outbreaks are minimal.
	And so how about comparing it to the flu and the common cold?
	How about that for an idea?
	Is that too far out there?
	Yep.
	Shut up, slave.
	Last 15 seconds.
	For measles, experts say some 95% of folks would need vaccinations for herd immunity.
	What we mean by herd immunity, you're just not going to see any COVID in your community?
	So herd immunity, what he says here, what we mean by herd immunity is you're not going to see any COVID in your community.
	That's just not science.
	Sorry, that's just not science.
	It means that everybody, enough people have had it and have antibodies that you won't get variants and it won't flare up again.
	That's what it means.
	What do you mean by herd immunity?
	It's just another before I forget.
	My clips are all done and I sent them all in and I'm just catching some late news.
	One of the local stations, they say that the A number of people that have gotten the Pfizer jab, they went back and tested them and they found zero antibodies.
	Zero antibodies?
	Zero.
	There are no antibodies.
	Nothing.
	It didn't do jack.
	Now, a couple of things.
	I don't want to go off on a tangent here, but there's two things to mention.
	One is the nurse who is giving out a bunch of saline shots, if you remember that.
	Yes.
	I don't know if we have, we don't have clips on this.
	No, but that was a news story yesterday.
	Big news story.
	Yep.
	And then there's my old producer of the Silicon Spin show, Jennifer, who I talked to a week or so ago, and she's the one who still claims that, or claims, she says, it's probably true, unless she's claiming anything.
	She took the two Pfizer shots and had zero, no swelling, no sore arm, no nothing, zero, which is fine for her.
	Sounds like placebo to me.
	Or I'm thinking because of the other stupid statements that have been made during this whole...
	This is a fiasco, by the way.
	The stupid statements that, oh, you're arm sore, you're sick as a dog, you're throwing up, you've got a headache for three days.
	It's working!
	It means it's working.
	Yeah.
	So, this is ridiculous at this point.
	If we mean by herd immunity, you're just not going to see any COVID in your community, it may require 90-95%, a number we probably can't get to until we start vaccinating kids.
	It's really gross.
	It's the same message.
	But it's gross.
	It's not science.
	That's the grossest part.
	No, it's not science, and they keep pushing the...
	In fact, like I said in the 3x3 today, the one network CBS that had any information other than, you know, celebrity news or home shopping, That's what they were promoting, vaccinating kids.
	That's the main message we're getting in the mainstream right now, is vaccinating kids.
	Pushing, pushing, pushing, and making the government agencies approve the vaccine on emergency use bases.
	I don't believe it's going to be approved.
	Oh boy, I can't wait to play the next two clips for you then.
	About children, children, children, children, children.
	Let's go to ABC first.
	Extremely anxious.
	This Texas mother is worried about the upcoming school year.
	Her 11-year-old son, Carson, has a compromised immune system after battling COVID last year.
	Spending four months in the hospital, his school district does not have a mask, Mandy.
	I feel like we're walking just into the battle zone without protection, without any kind of weapons, you know, and it's very scary to me.
	Meanwhile, in Florida...
	We have elementary kids who are not eligible for the vaccination coming into our classrooms, possibly exposing us to COVID. We're in a national, and may I add, deadly pandemic.
	And the governor is playing politics.
	The Delta surge in Florida keeps getting worse, with the state leading the nation with hospitalized children.
	Across the US, hospitals reporting pediatric cases that are severe.
	Something we've never seen before is pediatric intensive care units getting overwhelmed, and that's really frightening.
	While Florida's governor continues to threaten school districts, even teachers pay for those who oppose his ban on mask mandates, the White House now looking into using federal dollars to pay a portion of those teachers' salaries.
	So I, and it sounds kind of gross, but I think I need to see some video proof of these children.
	The only video I see of screaming, crying children is ones who are being forced to take the vaccine.
	So, I mean, I need to see it now.
	Where are these hospitals filled with children?
	Oh, we're on something!
	Somebody please think of the children!
	But is it really about the children?
	Or is it about the teachers?
	Do the teachers want to get vaccinated?
	I mean, is that maybe the issue?
	Let me play this one.
	I got a three-parter on the same topic.
	I know what you got.
	Dr.
	Fauci, do you agree with Randy Weingarten, the head of the largest teachers union in the country, who came out yesterday and said, yes, teachers should be vaccinated inside schools?
	Do you think they should be mandated to be vaccinated?
	Yeah, I'm going to upset some people on this, but I think we should.
	I mean, we are in a critical situation now.
	We've had 615,000 plus deaths and we are in a major surge now as we're going into the fall, into the school season.
	This is very serious business.
	You would wish that people would see why it's so important to get vaccinated.
	But you're not going to get mandates centrally from the federal government.
	But when you're talking about local mandates, mandates for schools, for teachers, for universities, for colleges, for schools, I'm sorry.
	I mean, I know people must like to have their individual freedom and not be told to do something.
	But I think we're in such a serious situation now that under certain circumstances, mandates should be done.
	Now, I think I played these out of sequence.
	This is Morning Joe on MSNBC. This will lead you into your clips.
	This is about the FDA approval, which, by the way, did you know that there is no FDA commissioner at the moment?
	Yeah.
	I didn't know that.
	Yeah, it's been...
	There's been nobody...
	It's been filled by a bureaucrat that's the associate or the one underneath.
	And so it's not as though it's not...
	No, no.
	I mean, it's...
	Yes, but the...
	This is the question.
	You know, it's like, well, you got to get someone in there.
	Does everybody wait until the FDA approval is given?
	Do you want to be the guy?
	Or gal, do you want to be it?
	No, I don't want to be the guy.
	Who signs it?
	Hold on a second.
	I think I actually...
	I don't want to be the guy.
	Peter Doocy asked this very question of Jen Psaki.
	The president is saying now, God willing, the FDA is going to be coming out in a reasonable time frame to say this vaccine is totally safe.
	What is the holdup in nominating someone to run the FDA after more than 200 days in office?
	I know.
	It's like 204 at this point in time.
	Certainly, I will say, and the President was asked this question yesterday, that he wants to name someone who's qualified, who's ready to lead the FDA. It is a priority for him.
	He's also not going to take a step to put forward a nominee before he's found exactly the right person.
	I will note that it is a place that is filled with talented, experienced scientists, data experts, career staff, who are certainly running the FDA effectively.
	So, I nominate Dr.
	Fauci.
	And here's why.
	I know people in Florida.
	I mean, Joe and I are at the point where we're begging our unvaccinated friends to get the vaccine.
	And the pushback we get is that it's not FDA approved.
	And for some reason we can't compete with Facebook on this.
	What is the proper response?
	Her implication there is that, because Facebook bad, her implication is Facebook and all their misinformation that they're not censoring like good little doobies.
	Mika Brzezinski and her MSNBC morning show can't compete.
	No kidding.
	No kidding, Mika.
	And for some reason we can't compete with Facebook on this.
	What is the proper response when someone vehemently says, and is really tired of hearing it from us, that this is not FDA approved and they're not getting the vaccine?
	That non-FDA approval is a true technicality.
	We have emergency use authorizations that we do.
	It is usually a situation where you kind of have marginal and maybe moderate efficacy and you want to balance the risk-benefit, so you give it an emergency use authorization.
	What you see now with these vaccines is that we've been giving them to hundreds of millions of people throughout the world.
	It is highly effective and very safe.
	This idea about getting official approval, which understandable, the FDA has their way of doing things.
	They do that.
	They've been very successful in keeping people safe.
	But there's no doubt that these vaccines are going to get fully approved.
	So what's going on now with the vaccines is as good as full approval.
	So this idea about it's not fully approved is really a false narrative.
	It really is.
	I mean, you should consider this as good as fully approved and get vaccinated.
	The idea that I'm waiting for some magical imprimatur to come on it, it's going to happen.
	Guaranteed it's going to happen.
	There you go.
	Put Fauci in charge of the FDA. You got your guy?
	Yeah, he's not going to do that.
	If you take a cut and pay, it's not worth it.
	But, I mean, you heard it straight from the actual horse's mouth.
	It's just a technicality, man.
	Just a technicality.
	That guy is so annoying.
	So here's a doctor who's doing the same panic.
	Now, this is from...
	By the way, this is COVID, irked parent one.
	This is a...
	Report from National Public Radio.
	So this is beyond the mainstream news stuff that you've got the clips from.
	This is for the intellectuals out there.
	Yes, the liberal intellectual elites.
	Who like to listen to soft spoken voices.
	And soft jazz.
	Soft jazz.
	A serious XM. Red Rock.
	John Tesh.
	So here we go.
	A tweet from a doctor in Phoenix last week spoke to the frustrations.
	Oh my God, she's full on today, isn't she?
	A lot of parents are feeling right now as governors in states like Florida, Texas, and Arizona continue to ban school districts from mandating masks.
	The tweet read, quote, We have sacrificed so much for you over these past 18 months, and it took only three days for you to destroy one of the last things I was hanging on to, the ability to keep my kids safe.
	That tweet was from Dr.
	Christina Bergen.
	She said three days after her daughter started school, her 10 year old was exposed to the virus, though thankfully not infected.
	Dr.
	Christina Bergen joins us now.
	Welcome.
	Thank you so much for having me.
	I'm really glad to hear your daughter didn't get COVID. She was wearing a mask at the time.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	She and her sister are really good about wearing their masks.
	That's really good to hear.
	Yeah, I understand all children in Arizona at least have the option to wear masks, but it's an option.
	Mandates are banned.
	So after a year and a half of trying your best to almost hermetically seal off the pandemic from your family, your daughter goes back to school.
	Someone there tests positive for COVID. What went through your mind when you first found out that news?
	This was three days after she began school.
	Yeah, three days.
	A lot of thoughts and emotions immediately went through my mind.
	But I think the most prominent were fear, disappointment, and frustration.
	This is...
	My God.
	This is so abusive.
	You...
	These are mothers...
	I don't think there's...
	Mothers don't care.
	You're just abusing them.
	Mothers just want their kids to be safe and they're just completely mind-controlled by this crap.
	She's a doctor.
	Although they never say what she's a doctor of.
	She could be like Dr.
	Jill Biden for all I know.
	I've seen a lot of that.
	Well, then she probably is.
	Otherwise, there must have been a question.
	As a doctor and a mother...
	No, they never pulled that one.
	But it's just as bad, listening to her go.
	I was so disappointed.
	My kid was, somebody tested positive, which of course doesn't mean much, as we know.
	Somebody tested positive and the kid bumped into him or was exposed.
	It was around, around, around.
	It was exposed, but luckily she didn't catch it.
	Oh my God, I'm so...
	But it was within the three days of first going to school, after all this work we've gone through, it just didn't help.
	Okay, here we go, part two.
	We have really taken so many precautions over the past 18 months, and because of a law that prohibits schools from mandating certain mitigation measures, like universal masking, Only three days of school undid those 18 months of vigilance and sacrifice.
	Vigilance and sacrifice.
	This is almost show title.
	Vigilance and sacrifice.
	Is that from something I should know?
	No.
	Is that like a Civil War thing?
	Nothing I know of.
	Something from the screwball.
	Something that some important general said during the Civil War?
	No.
	Maybe, but I don't know.
	Here we go.
	I saw that you specifically called out the governor of your state, Doug Ducey.
	He's a Republican.
	And you wrote that he is forcing schools to reopen without the ability to implement the same measures that kept kids and staff safe last year.
	Tell me about that.
	Like, what important differences are you seeing between the safety measures from last year and the safety measures in place this year?
	You know, it's an entirely different ballgame right now with the Delta variant.
	So it's this one-two punch of a much worse situation because of the virus itself and because people are no longer doing the mitigation measures that we know work and are safe.
	Well, going forward...
	Gosh.
	These people are still stuck in information from nine months ago.
	That's the way I see it.
	Well, no, you already said it earlier.
	It's the same script.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Yes.
	Same script.
	But, you know, the difference is I think nine months ago when it first began, we did not quite have...
	I mean, although Trump was in office and so you could argue that everything was Trump's fault.
	You know, you don't want to get a vaccine.
	You don't want to take a shot who's going to be the first one.
	Yeah.
	And now it's like, okay, Trump's out, so let's just blame Republican governors.
	And so they're targeting it.
	And this is the first report I've seen targeting Arizona.
	But they're targeting mostly Florida and Texas.
	Yeah, Arizona was new, but it's another Republican thing, I guess.
	Yeah, he's a Republican governor.
	And so that's bad.
	And so you have, obviously, Abbott is being targeted.
	He's bad.
	Santos the most.
	And, of course, again, by the way, talking about the old script.
	There was a report that came out showing that there was a big shot up of Florida cases, but it turned out they weren't from that day.
	It was from a whole week's worth of cases.
	No, that's exactly what we said was going to happen two weeks ago.
	This is the exact same thing.
	Yeah, they aggregate everything and they punch it in.
	It works.
	It worked before.
	Why won't it work again?
	Unfortunately.
	And it seems to be working with the news media.
	Oh yeah, it's working.
	Well, there's a couple of things, though.
	Because, you know, now we're going to get into mandates and now we have this division and the division is vaccinated versus the pandemic of the unvaccinated.
	These are very ugly words that our government is using.
	Now, of course, it's not just the unvaccinated.
	We know it's really Republicans.
	It's Republican states.
	This is...
	This will not be forgotten that they're doing this.
	But let's just say it's all true.
	And the vaccinated want everyone to be vaccinated.
	So if you have accepted the vaccine into your life, you were either foolish, you were not understanding at the time, you might have been pressured, or you might believe in it 100%.
	That took courage somehow.
	I don't think most people just went up and said, I'm not worried about anything.
	I think it took some courage.
	So I would ask the vaccinated to step the fuck back.
	Respect hesitancy and encourage people.
	If you really mean it, if you mean this is a health issue, then you shouldn't be shaming people.
	Then you should be encouraging them, telling them about your experience and And encourage them to be brave.
	If you were sincere, that's what I think normal people would do.
	And now I do not accept the vaccine in my life, but I would certainly listen to people if they had a normal, respectful approach and not shaming.
	This is the stupid thing.
	And then I have something for black Americans.
	The nation racing to win over the unvaccinated as COVID cases surge.
	Are you vaccinated?
	Not at the moment.
	But among some African Americans, fear.
	What's the hesitancy?
	We've been told so many lives for so many years.
	Mistrust in the medical system rooted in history, like the Tuskegee study in 1932, a 40-year experiment where nearly 400 black men living with syphilis were denied treatment, public health officials wanting to see the effect of the disease untreated.
	As a result, more than 100 men died from syphilis or related complications.
	Knowing that you were denied treatment and that you were lied to would affect anybody.
	Carmen Head Thornton's grandfather, Freddie Lee Tyson, was a part of the study.
	There's a lesson in taking broken pieces and turning it into something that's effective and supportive.
	Turning the pain of the past into purpose.
	Harmon and several other descendants are speaking out in a new documentary, encouraging people to get vaccinated.
	If you're using the syphilis study as your rationale for not getting the vaccine, to just stop doing that.
	Out of 195 million Americans who received at least one shot, only 10% are African American.
	But black people are two times more likely to die from the disease.
	Okay.
	And I can't wait to talk with Mo about this.
	African Americans, blacks in America, please stop using this as your crutch because you know that is not...
	The first guy in the soundbite, he said it so many lies so many years.
	That's kind of the truth.
	It's because you know that the very same people...
	Have been screwing over poor people.
	This mid-layer, and that includes, unfortunately, a lot of the administration of the healthcare system, have been screwing you for years.
	That's the problem.
	Just be honest about it.
	Be honest.
	You don't trust them, and there's no reason for you to trust them.
	Be honest.
	It would help everybody.
	Now, to people who have come to America as immigrants and have made themselves into something spectacular, Be very careful what you say about freedom, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
	But I think people should know there is a virus here.
	It kills people.
	And the only way we prevent it is to get vaccinated, to wear masks, to do social distancing, washing your hands all the time, and not just to think about, well, my freedom is being kind of disturbed here.
	No.
	Screw your freedom.
	Because with freedom comes obligations and responsibilities.
	We cannot just say, I have the right to do X, Y, and Z. When you affect other people, that is when it gets serious.
	It's no different than a traffic light.
	We put a traffic light at an intersection so someone doesn't kill someone else by accident.
	So this is why we have a traffic light.
	You cannot say, no one is going to tell me that I'm going to stop here, that I have to stop at this traffic light here.
	I'm going to go right through it.
	Yeah, then you kill someone else, and then it is you doing.
	This is not surprising that this comes from an Austrian who compares this situation to traffic signs because what he really wants is for there to be traffic signs.
	You know, like a yellow sign.
	Maybe a star sign, Arnold.
	Holy crap!
	Screw your freedom?
	Is this really the guy?
	The Terminator?
	The Governator?
	That's insane to me.
	Now, on the celebrity tip, there's interesting, interesting news.
	Tom Hanks' son, Chet Hanks, remember Chet?
	Chet's the rapper.
	No.
	I don't remember Chet the Rapper.
	Yeah, Chet's...
	Tom and Rita's son, Chet.
	See, the one's all tatted up.
	Yes, that's the guy.
	He's the hip-hopper, and he has a message.
	Hey, guys.
	So, just checking in.
	Look, I've been kind of on the fence about this for a while.
	That's why I've never spoke on it.
	But with the amount of people that I know recently that have gotten COVID, and with, like, the numbers rising, I think it's important for me to say, like...
	I got the vaccine.
	I think everybody should.
	I think it's really important, like, that we all do this just as, like, citizens, as Americans.
	We have to look out for each other and get this shit under control, guys.
	So, like, I suggest to all my followers, you guys make, set an appointment and get the vaccine first thing.
	Psych!
	Bitch, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
	I never had COVID. You ain't sticking me with that motherfucking needle.
	It's the motherfucking flu.
	Sorry.
	Get over it, okay?
	If you're sick, stay inside.
	I'm tired of having...
	Okay?
	Why be working around y'all?
	If y'all...
	If you're in danger, stay your ass inside.
	I'm tired of wearing a motherfucking mask.
	Sorry about the MFs.
	I forgot about that.
	Point is, he's anti-vaccine.
	He's anti-mandate.
	This will not go over well with Tom and Rita and the elites of Hollywood, I don't think.
	Well, maybe go over well with the hip-hoppers.
	I was doing a calculation.
	This is something people should note.
	Your chances of getting COVID, what are your chances of getting COVID? It's one in a thousand.
	Oh, I think it's less.
	I think it's like one in a hundred thousand.
	Well, these are the numbers that are easy.
	Oh, okay.
	All right.
	The numbers, yeah.
	One in a thousand.
	And the chance of dying from COVID, if you're one of the one in 1,000, you have to be over 70 to have a good number of 5 in 100.
	5 in 100 will die.
	So that's a total of their chances overall of dying of COVID is 1 in 20,000.
	Mm-hmm.
	Now, you could bet on the long shot of the biggest long shot in your sports betting world.
	You're never going to even find a 1 to 20,000 to 20,000 to 1 shot.
	This doesn't exist.
	It's ridiculous.
	The numbers are so minuscule in terms of odds and simple statistics that it just really, I don't know, I don't really understand.
	The public is not, this is the education system.
	This is the result.
	Well, it's also the loss of religion and pushing cultural and things like scientism into that role.
	You know, believe in science, follow the science.
	You can believe in science.
	I'm just giving you science.
	I'm giving you actual numbers, stats.
	That's science.
	No, but that's not scientism.
	It's different.
	Boots on the ground report from a nursing home in West Virginia.
	I work for a healthcare company, anonymous of course, I work for a healthcare company in West Virginia that mainly owns and manages a large number of nursing homes across the state as well as some other smaller lines of business.
	Our centers suddenly changed all of our COVID testing back around the first of the year which was easy to predict because of the rollout of COVID vaccines.
	We were told...
	We just had a bunch of stock of antigen tests that we wanted to use up, so they changed from the PCR to antigen.
	To my knowledge, we no longer use PCR. Hmm, magically our numbers went down, facilities opened up, all is well.
	But then this past week, so there's your testing scan.
	We learned of an outbreak in one of our centers.
	Surprisingly, our COO divulged that almost all of the outbreak in the residents, amongst the residents, were people who were vaccinated.
	I'm glad I had my camera turned off on this company-wide Zoom call because the face I made would not have bode well for myself.
	As they blathered on about taking the jab and how they were glad these people got it, I could only shake my head.
	These people are still encouraging us to take it almost in the same breath they tell us it doesn't work.
	They're good people, but it's easy to see things that aren't adding up.
	I'm not a conspiracy theory nut or anti-vax guy, as some might say, but I'm not drinking the Kool-Aid.
	Thanks for all you do, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	There was also, let me see, I think we have it under, I think I have it under Big Pharma here.
	There was, ah, crap, can't find it.
	Anyway, doesn't matter.
	Well, I've got three clips I want to play, which kind of leads me to the way I open the show.
	And first of all, I want to start with this Dr.
	Don clip, and I want to mention, you've got it, I got it.
	Everyone saw Dr.
	Don.
	The Dr.
	Don clip, which I probably, I have gotten, you know, people forwarding stuff To me, like they do to you that we already are covering or we've had it or whatever.
	I've never seen anything like this.
	And neither of that, but Dr.
	Don was on Tucker Carlson and Dr.
	Don was on...
	And it's just some random rando doctor who went before a school board and started reading the riot act about them making decisions for masking or mandating vaccines.
	Well, now, mind you, he also had a thumb drive.
	And the contents of which are in the show notes.
	It's a lot of studies, a lot of documents.
	We've done that too.
	We have a lot of studies, a lot of documents.
	There's nothing that Dr.
	Don did.
	In fact, I've said this to everyone who sent me the clip.
	What's in here that we haven't talked about six months ago on this show?
	I think I know.
	And I don't know what it was, but I figured out what it was the main thing that he did that nobody else has done that's gotten as much attention.
	And I have the gist of it.
	I'm not playing a bunch of Dr.
	Don clips.
	I have one short clip that's 18 seconds long that I believe is the key and the crux to this, and this will be the clip.
	And we're getting our sources of information from the Indiana State Board of Health and the CDC, who actually don't bother to read science before they do this.
	I'm actually a functional family medicine physician.
	So he goes after the CDC specifically.
	And he said regulation, which means more like a legal thing, I believe.
	Well, whatever the case is, of all these people that bitch and moan about this whole situation, nobody really attacked the CDC. And so then I found this other clip.
	This is an ivermectin.
	This was a clip sent to me by somebody who was, I guess, on this call.
	Some poor woman was in the hospital and she had a prescription for ivermectin, but the hospital wouldn't.
	They wouldn't administer it.
	She's on a ventilator and she's dying and they wouldn't administer it.
	And so the court sued them and the judge was saying, why didn't you give her the ivermectin?
	Hold on, hold on.
	Before we just...
	I don't want to just pass over Dr.
	Don unless you're coming back to him.
	No, I'm not coming back to Dr.
	Don.
	So, Dr.
	Don, to me, this happens on a smaller scale in the Netherlands where there's one piece of video.
	It's very clear.
	It's very calmly explained.
	It's not complicated.
	It is a very good presentation.
	Nice demeanor by the speaker.
	And it's 18 minutes long.
	This is the same with Dr.
	Don.
	And as you point out, Nothing he said was really new information other than he was speaking so-called truth to power.
	But he had command of the room.
	He had massive command of the room.
	And the problem with that is that it doesn't propagate.
	Because there's a six-minute version of it.
	There's nothing soundbite worthy enough that will convince anybody otherwise.
	It's just, it's a confirmation.
	I saw this last night.
	Tucker Carlson had this really interesting guy on, Vivek, and everything he was talking about, COVID, woke, all that stuff, exactly what we're saying.
	But you can't package that Into, you know, 17 seconds or 18 seconds.
	And that's what people are forgetting.
	Well, this is completely beside the point I'm trying to make here.
	No, but I just wanted to point it out for Dr.
	Don what the problem is.
	It sure got propagated to me.
	But Dr.
	Don's attack of the CDC is the point I'm trying to make.
	Yes, I got you.
	I got you.
	I don't care.
	So back to the ivermectin story.
	So this woman was in the hospital and she died.
	She died.
	They wouldn't treat her.
	And the judge kept telling them to treat her, and the hospital says, no, they wouldn't.
	And I have just a clip from that part of the meeting, and you can hear kind of the point I'm trying to get to here.
	And this is the ivermectin fiasco clip.
	Seated to my left is Dr.
	Stephen Farrell, who is our chief medical officer at the hospital.
	And next to Ms.
	Mitchell is Mr.
	Okay, thank you.
	Mr.
	Miller, what's your position now that Ms.
	Jordan has a prescription for ivermectin?
	Is the hospital willing to administer that?
	Judge, we're still in the same position that we cannot, and for several reasons.
	Number one is Ms.
	Denmark does not have privileges at this hospital.
	She is not able to take over the care of Ms.
	Jordan.
	She is writing a prescription to be administered by our critical care specialists when, which is in direct direct conflict with what they perceive in their judgment is correct.
	The correct procedure for treatment for Ms. Shorten.
	I do note, however, Denmark, based on her information, it appears to be affiliated with Wesley Medical Center.
	If Wesley Medical Center is willing, and I'm not so sure that they are, based on something I'm going to tell you in just a second, is willing to accept this patient and Miss Denmark and their sponsoring physician are willing to administer it.
	It seems the more practical course is to Right now, what they're proposing is that a prescription from a nurse practitioner who is not credentialed at this hospital, who is not privileged to practice medicine at this hospital to treat patients, To dictate how we should treat a patient.
	When we've had at least five physicians and since Monday there's another physician involved who's also, Dr.
	Yunus, who's looked at this and who's also indicated that ivermectin is not indicated for Ms.
	Jordan.
	Oh my goodness.
	Where was this?
	What hospital?
	This was in Mississippi.
	I have the hospital name someplace, but I don't have it in front of me.
	No, no, it's Mississippi.
	Okay.
	It was in Mississippi and they wouldn't because they're going by their protocols that they've developed at that hospital.
	But then I got this last clip which is Kate Daly who is a very good broadcaster.
	She's a radio host whose husband ended up with pneumonia.
	They brought him into the hospital, and they immediately called it COVID pneumonia, even though it was just a regular case of pneumonia.
	And she went through a rigmarole, but she's a very forceful woman, to get them to do what she wanted them to do, and especially not put him on a ventilator, because they wanted to ventilate him right away when they walked in.
	And they made a big fuss of dressing everybody up in an outfit, and she makes a...
	If anyone can find this clip, it's Kate D-A-L-L-E-Y's discussion of her experience.
	It's about 45 minutes.
	It's very entertaining, but at the same time, it's got a lot of tips, if you get hospitalized, what to do.
	And I just have this small clip of this, and this is like, well, it's not that short, but it's interesting, and she's...
	She's a, she reminds me of that other brunette broadcasting woman who used to be on The Blaze, and I keep forgetting her name.
	But she's just a great, I mean, you listen to her broadcasting, just see her facial expression.
	She's just a pro.
	But listen to this.
	This was our situation.
	We get in, and I have amazing doctors.
	And the only reason that we succeeded at this, I think, besides prayers and blessings, were the fact that I had amazing doctors to talk to who urged me right away to get him on intravenous high-dose vitamin C. This makes a big difference.
	It's not like, you know, a lot of doctors will shame you and think you're silly and, oh, you're a vitamin girl, you know, that kind of thing.
	But you want just like a little dissolvable?
	No, I want high-dose intravenous vitamin C because it's even known to kill cancer cells at high doses and help with nucleic acid and help with inflammation, which is pneumonia.
	Oh, by the way, the x-rays, when they did the x-rays, the x-rays were suspiciously like the 2017 pneumonia, 2006 pneumonia, 2000 pneumonia.
	So all pneumonia looks kind of like each other, suspiciously.
	I think three years ago it just would have been good old pneumonia, but today it's COVID pneumonia.
	I think there might be some big bucks associated with the COVID pneumonia, you think?
	So anyway, we're in ICU, and I said, I want vitamin C, high intravenous.
	The doctors that I'm in contact with, the frontline doctors, are telling me get zinc, intravenous zinc, NAC, high doses of vitamin D, get everything to help him to combat the pneumonia.
	Well, they said it wasn't protocol.
	I said, well, it doesn't matter.
	I want it.
	And they said, well, it's not protocol.
	We don't do that.
	You don't give vitamins and nutrition to your ICU patients?
	Why?
	And the answer was, we don't do that.
	Not protocol.
	See, there's 341 pages sent by the CDC panel to tell the hospitals what to do for their protocol.
	And here's the bottom line for you.
	If you'd like me to get to the end of this before I explain the rest, it's not COVID that's killing people.
	It's the protocol.
	It's over-treatment.
	I wanted to undertreat my husband with nutrients and vitamins to help fight what he had so he could breathe again instead of over-treating him, over-medicating him, and shoving him on a ventilator too early because the death rate of a ventilator is up to 75-80%.
	Death rate.
	That's really scary that they were talking ventilator from the minute I got in there.
	Oh, man.
	And there we are.
	We're back again.
	And so she makes the point that it's the protocol, and I was thinking about that, and that's what everybody falls back on.
	The CDC came out with the protocol, which is what all three of these clips are about, is the CDC protocols the hospitals take.
	They just adopt it.
	Follow the rules in that because they don't have to worry about getting sued.
	Oh, well, we followed the protocol.
	And they're off the hook because it's the CDC that has to take the fall at some point.
	Okay, well, we're sorry.
	We're a government agency.
	You can't do anything about it.
	And the whole thing is just a cover-your-ass methodology.
	It doesn't help anybody.
	That's why they're not going to go with ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine or anything else because it's not in the CDC protocol, which is rigged by Pfizer to push everyone toward vaccinations.
	This is a massive...
	Scandal.
	And our good friend, Sir Dusifer, I don't know if you saw it.
	I know you've had some problems with No Agenda Social.
	But he went into the hospital.
	He had been on a location shoot.
	And he wasn't feeling well, a little bit of fever.
	So he was on location for three, four days.
	And then he said, well, I might as well test for COVID. Tested positive.
	And so now he'd been traveling, working strange hours, and so now he went into the hospital with, wait for it, COVID pneumonia.
	And he posted some videos.
	So I think he stayed there one night, and he posted videos.
	I'm getting out of here.
	He had a caliper, so there was oxygen in his nose.
	And he said, I'm getting out of here because I can't sleep.
	It's like they messed with my machine.
	I had much more trouble breathing this morning.
	All night long, it's beeping everywhere, incessantly beeping, not even in a rhythm.
	It's all different.
	And so he found a doctor.
	Through his contacts and the doctor immediately put him on ivermectin, budesodine, something like that.
	It's like a thing that's inhaler maybe for asthma.
	And zinc and, you know, the typical things, but ivermectin.
	And so he left the hospital as soon as he could and he went to, you know, the pharmacy to get his prescription.
	Oh no, denied.
	CVS, Walgreens, they would not give him ivermectin because, you know, it's not the protocol.
	And so, of course, it's obtainable and you just have to go to an independent pharmacy, but even that's getting a little more scarce.
	And he posted, I think, a half hour about his entire experience.
	And he's belabored breathing, but I know what pneumonia looks like.
	And yeah, it's great.
	Just call it COVID pneumonia.
	Everything changes, including the treatment you might get.
	It's disgusting.
	I completely agree.
	Completely agree.
	And when I hear all this, you know, We have the nurses.
	First of all, we had all the staff was cut back.
	There's been a couple of consolidations with all the bank that insurance companies and healthcare systems have been making.
	They've been acquiring smaller ones.
	Doctors, very compliant.
	They've been told they'll lose their license if they do the wrong thing.
	Everyone is completely controlled, economically controlled.
	Do you think it's possible?
	This whole scenario could also be used.
	I don't know if it's the plan, but could this be used to collapse the system or give it the impression of collapse and then ram through the necessity for universal basic health care?
	The problem they're starting to develop is this pushback, including these clips that we have, which is making it look as though it would be worse.
	Because it's only the independent, free-floating doctors out there that are doing the modern way of combating COVID in particular, as opposed to the CDC guidelines.
	With basic universal health care, everything would be along the CDC guidelines.
	You wouldn't be able to get around it.
	I think if that's what they're trying to do, it's already backfired.
	This is really a disaster.
	Well, but is it really?
	You know what?
	I'm not so sure it isn't.
	This is not the government running thing.
	This is corporations and large insurance companies, i.e.
	banks.
	I know, but they're hiding behind the CDC, which is government.
	Well, yeah, of course.
	Yes, exactly.
	So it's going to be just worse if you go with Universal.
	Well, of course.
	Because now you've got no way out.
	But it's been quite a desire for many years from them.
	Them in powers.
	They would love it.
	I would think, you know, unlimited customer base.
	The customer can always pay.
	You can jack up the rates at 20% a year.
	Do whatever you want.
	Yeah, you can jack up the rates at 20% a year.
	Do whatever you want.
	Yeah, you can jack up the rates at 20% a year.
	Do whatever you want.
	Yeah, you can jack up the rates at 20% a year.
	Do whatever you want.
	Yeah, you can jack up the rates at 20% a year.
	Do whatever you want.
	Yeah, you can jack up the way up because then the taxpayer pays.
	Yeah, it's a $50,000 toilet seat concept.
	Yeah, it's great.
	Well, no, I'm not saying they don't want it.
	No, no.
	I'm just saying this is going to be, this is not working out.
	It's going to make it worse, yeah.
	Speaking of protocols, I learned about the Liverpool protocol that the NHS has been applying during COVID. And that is a determination.
	I do not have the exact protocol yet, but there's a determination of when a patient is just too sick and too old and has COVID and has got to go.
	And then they get the injection.
	Death panel!
	Yes, and they get the injection.
	It's called the Liverpool Protocol.
	Look it up!
	Isn't that called the death pool protocol?
	I don't even know why it's called...
	I mean, why is it even called the Liverpool Protocol?
	It's crazy, just, you know, thinking about how people think about Liverpool.
	But, man, oh, man.
	All right, so that was from the South.
	I got a short clip from the South, from the St.
	Louis kind of...
	Not really South.
	Midwest, from the St.
	Louis, Missouri, County Health Executive, Sam Page.
	Listen carefully.
	Without a consistent mask requirement across St.
	Louis County, the hodgepodge of mandates, recommendations, and outright ignoring the public health experts has brought confusion, anxiety, and anger.
	With no clear directive, more children will become ill with vaccine.
	Children will be coming ill with vaccine.
	Another winner.
	What is wrong with these people?
	A lot.
	A lot, apparently.
	You know the CDC, just as an aside, finally, finally, I don't know how many months later, they're saying, hey, there's something to this blood clotting, this weird menstrual cycles women are experiencing.
	There's something to it!
	I guess they could not ignore it anymore.
	No, there's way too many cases.
	Yeah.
	We've got a couple of letters on it.
	I have four clips, which I just...
	Okay, this is...
	These are just four clips that I wanted to keep in abeyance because we've heard about, you know, the Bill and Gase, Melinda Gase Foundation, the vaccine things that they've tried, their experiments that have crippled people, killed kids.
	Yes, Philippines.
	Philippines.
	Mm-hmm.
	And so, I have to say, and I'm not a big fan of this guy, and I definitely don't like him doing voiceover on his own stuff.
	Oof, that's a no-no no matter what.
	James Corbett did a three-part...
	He's pretty serious, though.
	Three or four-part...
	Yeah, the problem with James Corbett is his voiceover.
	If you took the guy who does Frontline or some of these big voices, and I made this point before on this show, and I'll make it again, there's an authoritative voice.
	Yes.
	An authoritative male voice that is what you should use.
	I think, are you auditioning for the gig with James to do the voiceover?
	Am I? And furthermore, Peter Coyote is probably the closest to a tenor you'd ever want to do an authoritative voice.
	Yeah.
	But Corbett, he's got a speech impediment, and it just doesn't work.
	But he does it anyway.
	But he did this three-part or four-part Bill Gates.
	And people should look it up.
	I have to say it's really a piece of work.
	It's dynamite.
	And in there, he discusses all kinds of crazy stuff.
	But in there, he does put together the four of the...
	Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation fiascos.
	Ah, nice.
	Oh, good.
	And I pulled all four of them out.
	And these are all based on vaccinations, I presume.
	Yes, they're all vaccination fiascos.
	Okay.
	And so we talk about him all the time on the show, but I think it's nice to actually have – he doesn't do a good job on the meningitis one, but on the other ones, he does a pretty good job of laying it out.
	And I think they should be kept as evergreens.
	Okay.
	And I have them here, and I wanted to play them.
	Mm-hmm.
	The decade of vaccines kicked off with a Gates-funded $3.6 million observational study of HPV vaccines in India that, according to a government investigation, violated the human rights of the study participants with gross violations of consent.
	And failed to properly report adverse events experienced by the vaccine recipients.
	After the deaths of seven girls involved in the trial were reported, a parliamentary investigation concluded that the Gates-funded Program for Appropriate Technology in Health, or PATH, which ran the study, had been engaged in a scheme to help ensure healthy markets for GlaxoSmithKline and Merck, the manufacturers of the Gardasil and Cervarix had been engaged in a scheme to help ensure healthy markets for GlaxoSmithKline and Merck, the manufacturers of the Gardasil and Cervarix
	Had PATH been successful in getting the HPV vaccine included in the universal immunization program of the concerned countries, this would have generated windfall profit for the manufacturers by way of automatic sale, year after year, without any promotional or marketing expenses.
	It is well known that once introduced into the immunization program, it becomes politically impossible to stop any vaccination.
	Chandra M. Gulhadi, editor of the influential Monthly Index of Medical Specialties, remarked that it is shocking to see how an American organization used surrepetitious methods to establish itself in India.
	And Samarin Nundi, editor emeritus of the National Medical Journal of India, lamented that this is an obvious case where Indians were being used as guinea pigs.
	Throughout the decade, India's concerns about the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and its corporate partners' influence on the country's national immunization programs grew.
	In 2016, the steering group of the country's National Health Mission blasted the government for allowing the country's National Technical Advisory Group on Immunization, the primary body advising the government on all vaccination-related matters, to be effectively purchased by the Gates Foundation.
	As one steering group member noted, the NTAGI Secretariat has been moved out of the government's health ministry to the Office of Public Health Foundation of India, and the 32 staff members in that secretariat draw their salaries from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
	There is a clear conflict of interest.
	On one hand, the BMGF funds the secretariat that is the highest decision-making body in vaccines, and, on the other, it partners with the pharma industry in government.
	in Gavi.
	Yeah.
	This is unacceptable.
	In 2017, the government responded by cutting all financial ties between the advisory group and the Gates Foundation.
	As a general observation, his voiceover skill works a hell of a lot better when you're seeing the visuals. - Yes.
	Audio only is indeed quite tough.
	No, it's terrible.
	Well, during this, most of this, his face is never on the screen, so you're stuck with having to listen.
	That was the only long clip, so that was the India fiasco.
	But then he has the meningitis one, which is, I only have a short clip there, but this is not really as good as the other two.
	There's the Gates-founded and funded meningitis vaccine project, which led to the creation and testing of Menafrovac, a 50-cent-per-dose immunization against meningococcal meningitis.
	The test led to reports of between 40 and 500 children suffering seizures and convulsions and eventually becoming paralyzed.
	Yeah!
	Not enough on that one.
	Then we have the malaria scandal, which is really more of a which is one of Bill's main targets.
	There's even the WHO's own malaria chief, Dr. Arata Kochi, who complained in an internal memo that Gates' influence meant that the world's leading malaria scientists are now locked up in a cartel with their own research funding being linked to those of others within the group, and that the foundation was stifling debate on the best ways to treat and that the foundation was stifling debate on the best ways to treat and combat malaria, prioritizing only those methods that relied on new technology or
	Kochi's complaint, written in 2008, highlights the most common criticism of the global health web that Gates has spun in the past two decades.
	That the public health industry has become a racket run by and for Big Pharma and its partners for the benefit of big business.
	A racket.
	Which I think is what Bill's up to.
	And lastly, we have the polio fiasco, which is kind of interesting because most modern polio seems to come from the vaccine.
	There's the 2017 confirmation that the Gates-supported oral polio vaccine was actually responsible for the majority of new polio cases, and the 2018 follow-up showing that 80% of polio cases are now vaccine-derived.
	There's the 2018 paper in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health concluding that over 490,000 people in India developed paralysis as a result of the oral polio vaccine between 2000 and 2017.
	I wish I knew what episode it was when we talked about, I think it was a Goldman Sachs investor meeting and it was all the pharma companies, but mainly Pfizer pitching vaccines for alcoholism.
	Maybe it was 2009, 2010?
	Maybe 2008.
	It was very early on you found that.
	Yeah, that's right.
	It's probably lost because it's one of those areas where you don't have those clips anymore.
	No, because that went in Drop.io, who got Aqua hired and then we lost all our content.
	That was my OTG learning moment, yes.
	Hmm.
	Well, it's still on the show, whatever show it was.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	No, because that's really when it all started.
	And they were all jacked up, all the presentations.
	Yes, well, a vaccine for alcoholism, for cocaine abuse, for nasty farts.
	I mean, they had everything.
	And everyone was bugging out.
	This is great.
	We give medicine to people who aren't sick.
	I remember that quote specifically.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	All right.
	Well, I want to wrap this up unless you have anything else.
	No, I just wanted to get that stuff out of the way because it's good background.
	It is good.
	It is good.
	Let's see.
	Well, I guess this is kind of an interesting piece of news that I like because I'm flying American.
	Unvaccinated employees who work for three major U.S. airlines won't be required to get the COVID shot.
	The CEOs of Southwest American and Delta Airlines all say their work All workers to get a shot.
	My personal mission is I can't support companies that are mandating vaccines to their employees.
	No, wrong.
	Team members.
	I'm sorry.
	Hey team!
	Yeah, could you imagine if that's what we called our producers?
	Hey team!
	Team members!
	Team member Darren!
	Come on now!
	But yeah, and we have to be honest about it.
	We have to tell people exactly what we think and our reasoning why.
	And we have to be honest.
	That's the problem.
	We're not honest with each other.
	But this I've been warning for.
	I've been very honest.
	Something really interesting happened.
	They're cute.
	They're snuggly.
	And they've given us much needed company during the pandemic.
	But can your pet get infected and spread COVID-19?
	To find out, we visited UC Davis Veterinary Medicine Teaching Hospital.
	We do know now that dogs and cats can be infected with SARS-CoV-2.
	Hey, Vivo.
	Dr.
	Jane Sykes tracks animals infected with COVID, like the ones on this USDA chart.
	Data through mid-July shows 217 cases in the U.S. so far.
	More than 40% of those were cats.
	Researchers believe that's because cats have closer contact with humans compared to other pets.
	They often are very close to people's faces when they're sleeping in beds with people.
	You're saying because cats are more snuggly a lot of times.
	Yes, a lot of times, yeah.
	While Scottish researchers euthanized one cat because it got so sick from COVID, recent studies show the vast majority of infected cats and dogs exhibit mild symptoms, or none at all.
	The important point is that infection is spreading from people to the animals, not animals back to people.
	Unless they're wild animals.
	See, and that's when I just turned it off.
	So, animals can't infect people unless they're wild animals?
	So, you know...
	Doesn't make any sense.
	Well, then they should probably be warning people in the hill country because I read that 40% of deer have COVID antibodies.
	You know, they're running around in my backyard.
	They might infect me because they're in the wild.
	You're more likely to get infected by a tick.
	This is one thing and one thing only.
	Doggy and pussy COVID vaccines.
	It's a bonanza.
	I mean, you want to see people...
	Do you think children in masks is a thing?
	No, start messing with their dogs, man.
	That's when you see people really get angry in our country.
	Kids, okay, well, expendable.
	I can make some more.
	Yeah, this may be the lead-in.
	What you played might be the lead-in.
	We've played other little lead-ins talking about the dogs and the cats that might have COVID. They might carry COVID and might give COVID to somebody.
	And if they're so freaked out in Australia that they have one case and they shut down a city, I mean, with one dog.
	Can you imagine?
	But one dingo, for that matter.
	To dingoes.
	You know, they eat babies.
	I heard that.
	So the one thing I just keep following because I find it fascinating is what's happening with vaping legislation and the ongoing vape wars.
	And what I have my eye on still is Philip Morris and who are now looking, you know, I think they have finalized their acquisition, multi-billion dollar acquisition of a medical company that does oral mists, etc.
	And they're moving away from combustible tobacco into the IQOS, IQOS. And they're also talking about making vaccines from tobacco, which may very well be possible.
	I've heard this several times throughout the past decade.
	I don't know if they've actually ever done that.
	I think with the flu vaccine, they might have tried one or they had a trial that didn't work.
	So I'm just thinking that somehow they're weirdly involved in...
	I don't know.
	It's such a weird move for a tobacco company to do this kind of thing.
	So I want to just go back to before the, really before, yeah, in 2019, when everything was just first starting to kick off, and the vaping thing was on deck because they wanted to outlaw vapes, children couldn't have vapes, they couldn't have menthol vapes, which to me meant, ah, let's take away anything that black Americans like, and the minute we get them on the new Iquos that does menthol, their cultural influence will make everybody want one of these.
	But there was something else that we talked about just before the pandemic hit, and this is from the, forgive the bit shoot documentary, Revealing COVID. Something really interesting happened in late August 2019.
	America's major bioweapons facility closed, Fort Detrick.
	So, I'm not a molecular biologist, I hasten to say, but I know a little bit about it.
	So, when Fort Detrick closed here, I read this and I thought, what the hell is going on?
	I thought, this is odd and doesn't make sense.
	There's never been a bioweapons closure, as far as I'm aware.
	So I thought, this is strange.
	Why is Fort Detrick closing?
	And I thought, they must have had a leak.
	They're not telling us.
	They're not going to tell anybody what happened.
	But then there was a vaping pneumonia epidemic.
	Has anybody in the room heard about the vaping pneumonia epidemic?
	Okay, one.
	That's good.
	So vaping is solution for electronic cigarette.
	And they had this outbreak of all these young, mainly young men and women, with bilateral pneumonias.
	2,800 hospitalisations and about 68 deaths.
	And they were really sick.
	And when they did their CT scans, they had ground glass opacities.
	And these ground glass opacities are typical of COVID-19.
	Now, that doesn't mean they're diagnostic of COVID-19 because other diseases can cause ground-glass opacities, but ground-glass opacities, I can assure you, are typical of COVID-19.
	Now, one of my friends is a super expert on CT of the chest.
	I showed him one of these CTs.
	He looked at it on my phone.
	He said, oh, that's COVID-19, mate.
	And I said, are you sure?
	He said, oh yeah, there's a grand glass opacity, that's what we look for.
	And I said, but are you sure?
	He said, yes.
	Why are you asking me?
	I said, look at the date.
	He looked at the date and it was September 2019.
	And then he looked around and he said to me, where'd you get this?
	And I said, this is a CT scan from vaping pneumonia in America.
	And you know what he did?
	He said, well I don't care, that's COVID-19.
	And he just put the phone down and walked off.
	So that was pretty amazing.
	So I think they worked out that 90% of the vaping solutions come from China.
	Ordered online, they're posted direct.
	There were no vaping pneumonia outbreaks in any other nation.
	So Europe's got hundreds of thousands of people using, millions using vaping products.
	And there were no outbreaks.
	Okay?
	No vaping running out of the country.
	So, that's all very odd.
	And that all played out in the last six months of 2019.
	I don't know how that plays into anything, but I just wanted to have that information in our head.
	It's a good one.
	Now, there's a couple of things.
	Fort Dietrich is what he's talking about.
	He announces it peculiarly.
	Well, he's in Australia, mate.
	That was the period, I think, that was the time that he's talking about when they put the Kibosh or the Kibosh on research for chimeras gain of function in the United States.
	Yes, another nice little intersection.
	And that would be about the same time that took place.
	I don't believe Fort Dietrich is still closed.
	But okay.
	Did you say that?
	It's what he kind of claimed.
	I don't think that's what he meant.
	That was my takeaway.
	But we know that the gain-of-function research was banned because it was causing trouble, and maybe this was the trouble it was causing.
	And that's when the COVID-19 research got, or that coronavirus research got shunted off to Wuhan in various ways.
	It may have gone through Canada.
	I may have gone through Alberta.
	The Netherlands even?
	There's some evidence.
	Who knows?
	But anyway, it ended up in Wuhan.
	And now, you know, it was financed by us.
	So, even though Fauci has a roundabout way of denying it.
	Yeah.
	I don't know.
	Maybe it could be.
	It's possible that maybe the Chinese...
	The Chinese are sloppy.
	They're not known for being a...
	They don't do clean hits.
	When they kill someone, it's always messy.
	They have a...
	Does that make sense?
	It's a grimy...
	There's a certain level of griminess in China that doesn't exist, let's say, in Switzerland.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And I think there's a certain level of manufacturing carelessness that exists in China that doesn't exist in Switzerland.
	I'm contrasting the two countries I'm familiar with by both visiting and having product from.
	Mm-hmm.
	And really, Chinese, even though they're making Nikon cameras and they're doing all this precision engineering, which is what requires...
	If you're going to make hard disks or anything like that, you need precision engineering to make chips.
	But we have a lot of our inspectors over there that are making sure that they do the job right.
	I don't know.
	This carelessness...
	It's just a mistake.
	I'm worried about the carelessness that they exhibit.
	Yeah.
	Because it looks like a mistake and they can make it a mistake.
	Maybe there was an attack.
	You don't know.
	Could also be.
	Well, maybe one day we'll find stuff out.
	And then when we find out, will we be able to recognize it as truth, or will it just come across to us as more of thousands of sealed indictments?
	You know, the President was supposed to, President Trump was supposed to take charge today after the blackout of the Internet yesterday.
	There was a blackout of the Internet yesterday?
	No.
	No, there wasn't.
	No, there wasn't.
	Okay, so this is me.
	Oh, today was the day you're supposed to take over based on the… Okay, so the 11th was, we were supposed to have the 10 days of darkness and the internet would go out on the 11th.
	And I have to tell you, living in the hill country, there are a surprising amount of people who are at least partially on board with a lot of these stories.
	And these are professionals in their field, experts, many, I would say, above average income.
	No, definitely upper middle class, if not rich.
	Trump, I have to say it, a lot of them Trump Republicans.
	100% Trump Republicans.
	And you wouldn't know it.
	Unless you, you know, hang out with them and talk to them or, you know, get a little comfortable.
	You know, me, it's like I just start off with, hey, those Chinese, and everyone opens up.
	It's easy.
	But I'm also sincere, you know, I'm all into it.
	And the one overarching thing I will say is that I hear from almost all of them exclusively...
	I'm afraid we're losing our country.
	And they really mean it, and they're really sad about it.
	They're not in some militant, I'm going to go shoot everybody up mode.
	They're sad.
	So, I need to come back.
	What the hell was I talking about?
	Help me come back to where I was.
	Well, we're talking about Fort Detrick and the Chinese maybe doing attacks.
	Oh, yeah.
	No, Trump.
	Trump becoming a president or being reinstated.
	Oh, right.
	The blackout.
	The big internet blackout.
	And I'm not laughing at any of this, although I have my own thoughts.
	I really don't think Kamala Harris is being detained in Guantanamo Bay.
	Ha ha!
	What?
	Is that one of the things?
	Very serious, yes.
	Very serious.
	And I know where it comes from, too.
	It's from the guy, Monkey Works, who tracks all flights across the world.
	And every single day, almost, he's doing an update.
	And look, of course, there's a lot of crazy-ass airplanes going to nutty places all the time.
	Yeah, all the time.
	For years, decades.
	You can see, well, the vice president, she clearly was taken to Guantanamo, and she's still there.
	If you look into the story, there's a video now, and that was really the video that the FBI were after, that Rudy Giuliani had in his possession.
	They weren't interested in Hunter's laptop.
	They didn't care about anything.
	They needed the video, which was the video proof of Hillary Clinton being hung by the neck in Guantanamo.
	So you see, these stories are out there and taken somewhat seriously.
	Wow, we don't even do those stories.
	No, I don't.
	Well, I like the way you say, I don't.
	Yes, I don't.
	No, you don't either.
	The reason is because there's no news to deconstruct in that regard.
	Exactly, which is what sets us apart from any other show in the world.
	But, you know, this is the X-22 Report, is one of the podcasts that Apple deplatformed and disappeared from podcasting, Podcasting 1.0.
	But it's available on Podcasting 2.0.
	Correct.
	Podcastindex.org.
	So we could do all the nutball podcasts that are ever done.
	What's the current kind of podcast?
	Three and a half million?
	No, no.
	Four and a half million.
	Four and a half million podcasts.
	And a lot of them are screwy.
	Well, I mean, please don't try to make the branding of this as the nutjob podcast place.
	Four and a half million podcasts.
	No, it's all podcasts.
	Yes, it's all of them.
	That's the point.
	But if you're going to do all podcasts, that means there's going to be screwy ones in there, and that's the goldmine.
	Exactly.
	That's why when AOL opened up the gate to the web, they became a dial-up company in a matter of years.
	Because people want the scary, crazy stuff.
	They want it.
	And I can totally understand people who...
	It's more entertaining and better written than most sitcoms.
	Hell yeah.
	So I understand why leftists, globalists, liberals, whatever you want, Democrats, whatever you want to call them, when they hear people who watch this, discuss this among themselves, may believe it or not, I understand that they go like, well, we have to kill these people.
	That's obvious.
	I mean, we have to fucking exterminate them.
	I get it.
	I get it.
	But that's so lame.
	These people are very highly functioning, normal, very good in society.
	They're philanthropic.
	They're just watching out and they've completely given up on any mainstream news.
	Any.
	They don't care.
	Well, they don't.
	They'll be shooting up the TV. So they can't do that.
	So...
	The president was supposed to retake power today.
	And yesterday, what coincided with the big blackout and the internet going dark, where there was supposed to be a big emergency access system.
	It's not the emergency broadcast system anymore because it goes across all TV, all radio, and all cell phones.
	That's the one from the president, the one that Everyone said Obama was going to misuse and call for a lockdown.
	Everyone said Trump was going to use it and call for a lockdown.
	Ha!
	Silly us!
	All it took was an 80-year-old douchebag.
	Hey, you got a lockdown!
	And everyone, who needed the scary alert?
	And that was supposed to happen yesterday.
	I didn't get anything.
	I have not heard anything.
	So it may be delayed until the 25th.
	And yes, indeed.
	Alright everybody, the plan is, trust the plan, it's moved on.
	It's going to be the 25th now.
	And on the 26th we'll have thousands of sealed indictments.
	But, and I'll finish with this, Mike Lindell, the MyPillow guy, did his cyber symposium earlier this week.
	72 hours of the worst possible television production you can imagine in your life!
	I mean, it was worse than a local cable telethon.
	Horrible.
	But the information was phenomenal.
	And, you know, Tina's friends who, you know, these are, again, professional, mature, functioning adults.
	Oh, we're watching it.
	Oh, are you watching Mike Lindell?
	And we're like, oh, shit, we should watch this.
	No, we couldn't stand that it was so bad.
	Now, they did, oh, it was horrible.
	But they did come up with, oh, yeah, but they came up with a 20-minute summary.
	Slick, highly produced.
	They got the right kind of host guy doing it.
	It all comes back to China, just so you know.
	Spoiler.
	Because China has ownership in all the companies.
	And they do the whole thing.
	They got the boards.
	They see, hey, this is an extra chip from Taiwan.
	What does this chip do?
	It opens up a secure FTP connection.
	They show all this.
	It looks totally believable.
	And that was good.
	So the 20 minutes, and I put it in the show notes, you can take a look at it, and there's definitely stuff wrong with the voting machine system.
	And to be fair, they put in all the Democrats from 2016, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, all saying the same thing.
	But then the Republicans were in charge, like, ah, you're full of crap conspiracy theorists, and now it's flipped.
	And I like that, and here they show, hey, it's not a left-right thing.
	It's happening.
	And they blame, and the whole, everything is blamed on China.
	And that narrative is now back.
	back.
	I think we probably called that in week one.
	This had to be some kind of Chinese operation.
	But that's now come into the narrative.
	And people are paying attention to it.
	And I'm delighted.
	I'm delighted that people are tuning out of this nonsense.
	We are actually doing such a good job that we're putting ourselves out of jobs.
	There won't be any more content.
	These networks are going to go broke.
	Not in our lifetime.
	CNN could.
	Oh, CNN's beside the point.
	That's not really a network.
	That's a propaganda system.
	MSNBC. The whole NBC operation isn't?
	The NBC operation is too, but it's got some breadth.
	It's wide.
	It's not just a bunch of propaganda.
	I mean, it's a lot of propaganda, but it's nothing like CNN. It's just nothing but bull crap.
	It's horrible.
	Then they've painted themselves into a corner they can't get out of.
	MSNBC, you have to remember.
	I worked at MSNBC. Before, MSNBC, the history of MSNBC was, it began as Microsoft and NBC putting together a channel that was going to do a lot of tech stuff and all the rest of it.
	But at the time they had the MSN network, they were trying to do kind of like a portal, if I remember correctly?
	MSN was a copy of AOL. There you go.
	And they were all in on the fact that the internet was going to go nowhere.
	And that's when even Apple came out with eWorld or some such thing.
	And that was supposed to...
	It was all...
	It was a joke because, you know, the internet was a joke and all these other things were going to be winning the day.
	And MSN teamed up with NBC and they put together this...
	This cable network, and there was a...
	It was doing poorly.
	It was a flop.
	It wasn't a complete flop, because Microsoft money was behind it, so it could go forever.
	Oh, yeah.
	But then one day, Prince Diana died.
	Yep.
	When Prince Diana died, they switched all their coverage to Prince Diana.
	Yep.
	And the ratings skyrocketed.
	So things like The Sight, which was the tech show that I was on, was just kicked off the air, and they moved to this coverage of celebrity stuff, and that's when they discovered Keith Olbermann and some of these other people, and they started changing their model.
	They pivoted in a big way.
	Very agile, very smartly done, I would say.
	Yeah, they did a great job.
	And then they pivoted to what there are now, which is just a bunch of propaganda that's very much modeled after CNN, but it's no good anymore.
	And it's just really kind of laughable.
	But they have to pivot again.
	But the fact that they pivoted twice already, first to the celebrity stuff with Princess Diana, then to the crap they do now, political news, they can pivot again.
	I mean, it seems that it must be in their DNA. I don't know how they're going to do it, but they could.
	Get rid of Rachel Maddow, that would help.
	When MSNBC started the first launch, which happened in New Jersey, in Trenton, New Jersey, my company, OnRamp, had been hired by Microsoft to create a live chat Because they, Microsoft couldn't do it.
	It's always, you know, it's like we can't, you know, our Windows machines are not super.
	They couldn't do anything.
	They still can't.
	So we had a whole Unix set up, you know, and like, oh yeah, don't worry, it's all Microsoft stuff.
	It's good.
	I've gotten into trouble that many times for another day.
	But I was in the control room when they first opened up and it was Tom Brokjaw with Bill Clinton.
	And holy crap, those guys, they were so pro.
	Because in this case, the producer, who was always talking into the news models here, was linked into Brokaw and Clinton.
	And so Clinton would be coming to an end of his answer.
	The producer is saying, okay, we have 45.
	Brian, if you can come in.
	I mean, talk to Brian Tom.
	And then Clinton's hearing this, and he wraps it up, and then Brokejaw comes in, and the producer says, okay, we have another 30 seconds, another 25, while he's talking!
	And then the whole thing, it was just, it was so impressive.
	But it had nothing to do with an honest conversation.
	It was, they were completely, they were good.
	They were really, really good.
	Well, I'm reminded, I did a radio show up in Canada once when I was promoting something, some book.
	And it was an all things considered kind of show and it's called The Day About Everything or some crazy show.
	I can't remember the name of it, but I had some letterhead from it somewhere.
	But it was done that way, and it was kind of a question-and-answer interview show, and they had these people in the studio yakking about stuff.
	It was a radio show.
	And then they had people in the control room telling them...
	So, in other words, I'd ask you some...
	Hey, Adam, what was the...
	Do you remember what was the year that Napoleon was born?
	And the person in the control room would go into the...
	Go into the air and say, was it boring on such and such and such and such?
	And the guy would blurt it out as if he knew it.
	And the whole show was done that way.
	And it was like, nobody knew anything.
	It was just...
	It was such a...
	And I was actually taken aback by it because it was so well done.
	And it made people seem like they actually knew stuff and they didn't know anything.
	If you look at Tucker Carlson tonight, this is because it's always like that.
	I think you're on to something there.
	All...
	They're addressable individually, but I think these producers are now so worked in, certainly with the pundits who were always on the panel.
	They just get the same feed the host gets.
	They're a part of this control room conversation.
	And you'll see it on Tucker Carlson's night.
	Whenever he has someone...
	It happens a lot, but it's not every single time.
	He has someone on remote, a guest, who's not a professional speaker, and they have an IFB in order to hear Tucker.
	So the person will stop in the middle of their sentence.
	You watch it happen.
	Right near the end of the segment, coincidentally, they'll stop.
	And sometimes they'll stutter because the producer said, okay, time to wrap it up.
	The guest hears that and Tucker then says, okay, well, thank you.
	We're out of time.
	But they do it to the guest because it's always on.
	It could be.
	That would make sense.
	I think so.
	Yeah, I think so.
	But whether it's as extreme as this show or what you experienced, now that I think about it, this is what goes on in all sports broadcasting.
	Oh, yeah, for sure.
	You have the play-by-play guy.
	He doesn't know.
	He's really good at play-by-play, but he doesn't know everything.
	And they're telling him stats as well.
	This is a reminder of 1957 when so-and-so did this and that.
	And they will have all these crazy stories and anecdotes that are being fed to them from the control room.
	Specifically, oh, and this guy's five for six today, and this is the last time he did that.
	It was three years ago on June 7th.
	He also went five for six.
	I mean, there's no way that people...
	I mean, there are people that memorize a lot of sports statistics, but this stuff is all bullcrap.
	Well, it comes out of the Infrastrata database.
	I happen to know that because Willem van Kota, who was a big record publisher back in the...
	He's now almost 80.
	He owns that, and he was the first guy 35 years ago, maybe longer.
	He said, I've got to have all the sports scores, all the stats.
	So it comes out really quick.
	It's like Bloomberg for sports.
	But even then, I mean, the sports guy isn't sitting there typing.
	So yeah, someone's sitting there, boom, boom, giving it to him.
	And they're good that way.
	It's the way American TV is made.
	It keeps the public...
	Yes!
	It's magic.
	It's a magic trick.
	It's magic.
	But yeah, it's like a Bloomberg terminal.
	It's just like, oh, okay, you get all kinds of crazy information and here it comes.
	And they just tell the guy what to say and he says it.
	It's not easy to do, but it's doable when somebody's saying something to your ear and you kind of repeat it.
	So what we're talking about here is the deconstruction of the media.
	And I'm glad we never really...
	This is a new discussion.
	I don't think we ever talked about that in depth of how production works.
	Just to add to that, since we kind of left CBS out of it there for a minute, yesterday the keeper and I were sitting around and said, hey, we don't hear anything about South Africa anymore.
	Did everything get solved?
	Is everybody okay?
	It's like, is the fighting over?
	And so I do a quick search, and of course, no.
	What pops up is An electrical plant has been exploded, so more blackouts.
	They already had electrical problems.
	And mind you, Jacob Zuma, as we talked about in a previous episode, the president who got kicked out, they had this whole affirmative action or equity, I would say, program that In the government there for many years, and he was hiring his dipshit cousins, and it had to be a certain makeup of employee, I'm sorry, team members.
	Then your company was hired, not based upon skill, and so the whole country started to fall apart.
	And then I come across this article, and I'm happy about it.
	I'm like, oh, this is the New York Times.
	They've written something.
	South Africa is falling apart.
	The New York Times.
	I'm like, okay, well, let me read this.
	Sure it is.
	And this is how reporting works, and we've discussed this many times, and we caught it in the wild.
	Right at the beginning of this article, after Jacob Zuma, the country's former president, was arrested on July 7th to serve a 15-month sentence for contempt of court, his supporters and allies vowed to make the country ungovernable.
	Coordinating a campaign of economic sabotage through WhatsApp, Telegram, Twitter, and other social networks, they succeeded.
	So this whole South African thing, according to the New York Times, is based on 12 people.
	We have another disinfo dozen.
	Remember, it's going through WhatsApp, Telegram, Twitter, other social networks.
	And like, well, I need to know more about this.
	So they have hot-linked the words coordinating a campaign.
	Now remember, this is how the CIA works.
	The CIA has to have a source for the New York Times to point to.
	So when you click on coordinating a program, you go to the dailymaverick.co.za.
	This is the Daily Maverick of South Africa.
	And here it is.
	South Africa suffered an insurrection.
	Sound familiar?
	Attempt this week with two provinces, KwaZulu, Natal, and Guateng.
	And from this, under investigation, 12 masterminds planned and executed the insurrection on social media, then lost control after the looting spree.
	This is bullshit.
	There's no secret 12 people who did this with WhatsApp and Telegram and Twitter.
	This is an operation, and this is how it gets covered up through the mainstream news, the New York Times pointing to this as their source.
	And I don't know why I put this under each other, but you think about what's happening there.
	So you have the equity hiring, you get crappy infrastructure, your power plants start to blow up.
	Sounds familiar.
	We've got rolling blackouts in Quebec.
	We've got rolling blackouts being threatened to get all over the United States, California, Texas.
	Really?
	And is this because we can't provide the right amount of power, or is it because...
	There's no financial gain in a certain point for these companies, which are leveraged by bankers, to provide it.
	And so they just don't spin it up.
	It's the Enron.
	Enron never went away.
	And then you see Biden's infrastructure bill, which it has all these great things for United States infrastructure, but every single company that bids has to be qualified by equity.
	No, that's funny.
	And a lot of it is African American based companies that are exclusively allowed to get this bid.
	How about that?
	Yeah, well, we kind of pushed that idea in California to an extreme.
	We built it.
	Some years back, there's this weird overpass off the Nimitz Freeway that goes, or actually it's off the East Shore Freeway that goes to San Francisco, and it was built by a corrupt contractor, and it was like a ridiculous amount of money spent on this thing.
	And then I think the guy went out of business or took the money and ran or something.
	And this is very common with some of these, like, lesser...
	Fly-by-night guys which are out there and they're looking for this kind of dough.
	I have one infrastructure clip Mm-hmm.
	Do you want to play it before we break?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, sure, sure, sure.
	And I thought this was interesting.
	The Heritage Foundation brought on some guy who was an expert on the bill.
	And the one point he made here, I think, is the one that I wanted to express, which is part of the fact that this infrastructure bill is just a big scam.
	But this is the infrastructure bill.
	Part of it that I thought was just like a real kind of the eye-opener.
	This bill is actually focused on physical assets, strongly focused on physical assets.
	That doesn't make it a good thing, however.
	And why not?
	So for one thing, they get the priorities completely wrong.
	So for example, there's a reason why infrastructure, broadly speaking, pulls very well.
	It tends to pass by Big majorities in Congress, and that's because historically the federal infrastructure spending focuses on the highway system, which a huge number of Americans use for personal use.
	It's the nation's essentially circulatory system for moving people and goods from border to border and coast to coast.
	It's tremendously valuable.
	This bill would spend as much of the new money on things like Amtrak and public transportation as it does on the highway system, even though Amtrak and public transportation combine for 5% or less of transportation use, depending on what metrics you're looking at.
	In terms of mileage, it's less than 1%.
	Yeah, so let's spend as much money on the 1% as...
	This is like the marketing boneheads who make it...
	The biggest mistake in marketing people make is they have a product...
	They have two products, let's say.
	One product sells very well.
	And the rule is you put all your efforts into selling – the real rule is you put all your efforts into selling the really good product and just pump all your money into that to market that and sell more.
	The idiots take the bad product and they say, well, wait a minute.
	I invented this product.
	This really should be a good product.
	I don't understand why it's not selling more.
	I'm going to put all my money behind the bad product.
	Because I know it'll sell better than the good product, which is already selling well.
	Why does it need any help?
	Because it's already doing okay.
	And you see, I've seen this with Ziff Davis in their magazines.
	Oh my God, it's rampant.
	It's rampant.
	It's in TV. Are these MBAs?
	Are these MBAs who make these odd decisions?
	Yeah, it's the MBAs.
	It's the MBAs who do it.
	Bonehead MBA. Yes.
	Complete boneheads.
	I've been around that a lot too.
	It's just kicking a dead horse is what it is.
	It's not going to go.
	I don't understand why this isn't selling better.
	Let's put it on the front page.
	I think Amazon did better.
	They figured some of that out.
	They have it merciless.
	Anyway, yeah, we can talk more about infrastructure, but I think we should take a break because the affiliates are screaming at us.
	Value for value is our system.
	It's very important to understand that value for value has kept this program going for now.
	We're working on 14 years.
	And what you just heard, everything you heard could not be talked about, could not be said, I don't think, in any other financing model.
	Probably not.
	No.
	I mean, there's no way.
	There's just no way.
	So, that's why we decided to do it this way for a long time ago.
	And the way it works is, if anything you heard here, and this is fair, if anything you heard here, if your takeaway is valuable, just make that into something in a number.
	And send it to us.
	We can't tell you what you value or how you value things.
	And so we love this model and we love everybody who's been participating in it.
	It's your time.
	It's your talent.
	It's your treasure.
	We got a lot of it, a lot of people to thank.
	And I'd like to thank you and say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in the cat COVID vaccines, Mr.
	John C. Dvorak.
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	Also in the morning to all ships at sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames are nights out.
	Yes, and in the morning to the trolls in the troll room who have been very helpful today in saying all kinds of nasty stuff.
	But we love you, trolls.
	What do you think?
	Now, did you write down our last Thursday maximum for the trolls and the troll count?
	Do you have the number?
	You said you were writing down the number.
	It was something like...
	2312 or something?
	No, that was the Sunday number.
	Sunday number.
	Let's count them.
	Hands up, trolls!
	Come on, troll count.
	Here we go.
	Let's see.
	Let's see.
	Oh, come on, trolls.
	Oh, come on, trolls.
	Ooh.
	Troll count for Thursday, 1958.
	Ah, low.
	No, I thought Thursdays were usually around 1800.
	Yeah, but a couple Thursdays ago it was over 2000.
	Low.
	It's low.
	Trolls, propagate.
	Get more people in there.
	Go to trollroom.io.
	This has been a part of the show ever since Void Zero set it up.
	Gosh, it must be at least 12 years ago.
	Guy's a genius.
	He is.
	And it's been running ever since.
	I hope there's a huge-ass log file.
	Wouldn't it be great if there was just a log file of everything that was said in the troll room for 12 years?
	Terabytes.
	Terabytes.
	I think they're more petabytes.
	Petabytes.
	So trolls, if you feel like a troll, if not, you can go to thetrollroom.io, you log in, you sign into the chat there, and you can listen to the live streams, and it's not just this show, it's many on noagendastream.com, and it's a simulcast type deal, and you troll about the show, if you can, the host, it's always fun.
	Does Horowitz watch your troll room, or chat room, that would be, when you're doing DH Unplugged?
	Yeah, yeah.
	He watches it?
	No, no, you don't.
	Oh, yeah.
	He's a big fan of the idea.
	He's basically your protege.
	Yes.
	I should tell...
	He wants to use your gear.
	He wants to do things the way he sounds.
	He wants to be me.
	Let's just face it.
	He wants to be me.
	He wants to be you.
	He wants to sound like you.
	He wants to...
	I've known him a long time.
	Didn't you introduce us?
	At Mevio?
	It was still Pod Show back then, I guess.
	I don't know.
	Anyway, that's the Troll Room.
	Good to have you here, trolls.
	Someone asked me this morning, hey, man, how do I get into the flow of NoAgendaSocial.com?
	And I want to remind everybody that that is our...
	I'm a federated social network.
	I'm really only on Twitter as an inbox, left everything else behind.
	I even put reddit.com in my piehole, and that's P-I-hole, so I can't even click on a Reddit link.
	It won't work on any of my machines.
	Just don't care.
	It's not worth it.
	But the federated concept is.
	And it's a way forward.
	And as a group, you can determine your own vibe.
	And if you want to block a whole other instance or limit things, it's up to you.
	So that makes it fair for everybody.
	So you can't join NoAgendaSocial.com, but ITMSlaves.com is one of the many affiliated Mastodons, or any Mastodon account will work.
	And just follow Adam at NoAgendaSocial.com or John C. Dvorak at NoAgendaSocial.com and you'll start to get into the flow very quickly.
	And we encourage that a lot.
	Now let's take a look at the artwork that we chose.
	Ah, this was controversial.
	For episode 1371, we titled it Appropriately Bald Nancy.
	And the artwork, and thus the coveted Cover Show Art Award, went to Nessworks, as we usually do when something looks really, really good.
	I don't do it, John.
	You check the system and see if there's a duplicate.
	And we even laughed and joked after you searched for at least 15 minutes, well, if it's something that he didn't do, Nick the Rat or Comicstrip Blogger will find it.
	And it was, what, three minutes, I think?
	I don't know.
	Yeah, so this is clip art.
	If it's legal clip art, it's okay.
	Well, so, but I feel kind of, I'm not saying that it's not okay from a legal standpoint, but I feel, and I know there's a lot of clip art used, but it really just took clip art and then put No Agenda, The Honor System, Curry and Dvorak over it.
	We didn't do anything else.
	Yeah, I would say that was a strike against Nestworks to do something that wasn't completely original, that it was cartoon-based.
	But I thought it looked like it was clip art to me, and I did due diligence.
	I looked for it.
	I couldn't find it anywhere.
	But of course, those guys will find it.
	The way I recall the conversation, and undoubtedly you will dispute, we actually made the decision based upon the incredible work of that piece.
	Not based on the joke, even though we did discuss that you don't get the joke, but he did something smart.
	He put the honor system on it so the joke was in the art.
	But it was kind of also based on the complexity of the cartoon.
	I'm just saying.
	So we're not going to change it or anything, but I personally, when I... I was like, oh, that's disappointing.
	So it's not illegal.
	It's not valid.
	I was fine with it.
	I have a piece of Hunter Biden art.
	Maybe you'd be interested in buying that on sale.
	I think I can sell you anything.
	Let's see what else there was.
	But there was still the best piece in terms of its impact.
	We were sad about Mike Riley's Cruella de Fauci because it just didn't...
	It didn't hit you.
	I saw it and I knew, yeah, that's Cruella de Vil, Cruella de Fauci.
	I didn't see it.
	But you didn't see it, no.
	And that's kind of automatic disqualification if one of us doesn't get the joke.
	That's 50% of the world.
	Yes, pretty much.
	What else did we see?
	We liked Super Spreader Ride to Die, Sturgis.
	I liked that one a lot.
	Well, I'll tell you what.
	You've already forgotten the one you liked the most that you were pushing for.
	Oh, I thought it was that one.
	Which one was it?
	It was the behavioral sciences, no agenda show, round label art.
	Oh yeah, it was the challenge coin.
	I like that.
	It was a little simple, but I liked it, yeah.
	It wasn't that simple.
	Nudging, it happened.
	I now just have to think, it's all clip art, so, no, it's simple.
	The nudging research triangle.
	I can't find it.
	It's called BS Unit by Jordan 33.
	No, I... I can't see it.
	It's on page two.
	That's where I just was.
	Okay, hold on.
	BS unit, maybe.
	I think I was pushing the ride or die.
	No, you were pushing BS unit.
	You made a big point of it.
	It's one, two, three...
	Behavioral science unit, yeah.
	I said I really liked it.
	Yeah, I called that the challenge coin.
	Yeah.
	But then you said, correctly, this breaks your rule of being able to read the fine print.
	And I said, you're correct, sir.
	See, I remember these things.
	We have a lot of little rules that we throw at each other.
	It's like, instead of saying, hey, I didn't like what you said on the show, or that clip sucked, we just argue about art, and I think it's very healing.
	Wouldn't you agree?
	And by the way, yes it is, which is what art's good for.
	And by the way, I used Vax Candy, which is just above it, that crazy looking poster for the newsletter.
	And I don't remember seeing that during the discussion, but I liked that piece a lot.
	I don't recall it either.
	It just kind of popped up.
	Alright, well, as discussed, there's new podcast apps in town.
	If you're on Apple Podcasts, this is important.
	Everywhere in the news now is that their shit is broken.
	I knew this was happening, and I've discussed it, but some podcasts, including ours, don't even update for 72 hours now on their app.
	And this is deluging the hosting companies.
	Can you just imagine?
	So you're a podcaster.
	You're just a podcaster.
	You upload your stuff.
	You want it to work.
	You're doing your show.
	You're interacting with your audience.
	And you get all these tweets.
	Hey man, I can't get it on my app yet.
	It's not an Apple.
	And if you really don't know what's going on, you're going to call your hosting company and you're going to say, you guys aren't uploading it to Apple.
	Which of course is not how it works.
	Because it's so hard for people to believe that Apple shit is broken.
	Like, no, no.
	It's got to be the hosting company.
	It's got to be something else.
	Anybody but Apple.
	Yeah.
	So, newpodcastapps.com.
	A shameless plug over the carcass of Apple podcast apps.
	I'm sorry.
	I have to do it.
	And you get bonus all kinds of new features, including all the artwork that we just discussed and much more in podcasting 2.0 apps.
	Now, with that said...
	Time to go to our executive and associate executive producers in our Value for Value model, where we thank them profusely up front, and these credits are real.
	They can be used anywhere that credits of this magnitude are recognized.
	Of course, your LinkedIn, but IMDb has many, many producers listed, and you'll see their credits are true Hollywood professionals.
	And we do have a first...
	In our history, which is an insta-duchess.
	Insta-duchess?
	Yeah.
	And so, Alicia from Texas, she's in, well, she's in, she says Paige, but I guess she's not.
	She's in Bastrop, Texas.
	She gave to the show, to become an instant duchess, she gave $10,000.
	You still there?
	Holy crap!
	I thought that I was about to bitch and say, come on, man, that's a mistake.
	Yeah, you can bitch, but not because it's a mistake.
	You can bitch that nobody else has given $10,000.
	You know what?
	We should have gone with the advertising model.
	My name is Alicia.
	Alicia.
	Alicia.
	Not Alicia.
	She should be queen, not duchess.
	Queen.
	Well, she's got a reason for doing this, by the way.
	Oh, okay.
	No, I'm sure this is not just out of nowhere.
	Like Alicia Silverstone.
	I'm Sir Julian's better three quarters.
	Ah, yes, of course.
	Longtime listener, but never donated in my name before my husband recently became a duke.
	All of our donations were in his name.
	She seems a little irked by this.
	Yes, apparently.
	Today, August 12th, is my birthday.
	We've got her on the birthday list, it seems.
	And since I'm turning 40, my wife says, say that she's turning 30.
	Don't say she's turning 40, she's turning 30.
	I agree.
	You're much smarter.
	We could have played it off on you.
	No, no, no, no.
	I would like to become a duchess because I can't have him outranking me.
	Nice.
	Thanks so much for keeping me informed and sane as we fight the evils of the NWO. You've taught me so much over the years, the dangers of vaccines way before COVID, e.g.
	the Gardasil sham and how the H1N1 shot led to miscarriages, the infamous six-week cycle, etc.
	I appreciate your staying on top of all the COVID bullshit this past year.
	It's given me talking points and rebuttals when...
	When in heated debates with people who are still asleep, why bother to what's really going on?
	I'm a busy homeschooling mom, good for you, of two, so I don't always have time to listen to every episode, so I really appreciate your newsletters.
	They make me laugh and keep me informed.
	Nice.
	Well, they're designed to make you laugh.
	The information aspect is minor.
	Whenever we do an informational newsletter, it's like no one opens it, no one reading.
	I've done informational newsletter, nobody donates.
	But we do it once in a while just to do it, I think.
	Just to prove the point.
	Just to do it.
	Sir Julian and I plan on hosting a big no-agenda meetup, which Adam must attend.
	The hell yeah!
	In what?
	Where?
	In Page?
	This fall at our homestead in Bastrop, Texas.
	Oh, yes, definitely.
	Where's Bastrop?
	It's just up the road.
	Oh, okay.
	Hope to see you there.
	Hope to see a lot of people there.
	Otherwise, anybody, by the way, if she gives $10,000 to the show, everyone in Texas should go visit and say hello to her.
	Yes, indeed.
	She's a special person.
	And mind you, the homestead, I'm sure we'll be meeting at a FEMA camp soon.
	Ha ha!
	Can you please serve up some bacon and donuts at the round table for me?
	And I would love it if you would play the magical shape-shifting Jews jingle.
	Title request Dame Julian, Duchess of Bastrop County.
	And she surprises.
	Alicia.
	And she has a PS. She has a stock tip.
	It's not a stock tip.
	It's a crypto XRP. It's traded.
	Yeah.
	Well, I can't wait to visit you in Bastrop.
	And I'm interested to hear what you have to say about XRP. I'm skeptical.
	But I know the story behind it.
	Wow.
	So, coincidence has it, That secret agent Paul, who made the shape-shifting Jews jingle, he said, Adam, I just want to remind you why I made that jingle.
	And by the way, we've had zero pushback from any producer on this jingle ever.
	But it's important because he sent in the, it's a short, the news report that triggered him making that jingle.
	And again, Alicia, thank you so much.
	And look forward to seeing you in Bastrop.
	And later on at the table with your humble request of bacon and donuts.
	I have gotten you the good kind.
	In the Muslim community, there are serious doubts about what really was behind last week's attacks.
	Dana Kennedy is a Paris-based American journalist for the Daily Beast.
	She's written about this and she joins me from Paris.
	You talked, Dana, to some of these French Muslims who say this was all a conspiracy.
	What do they mean?
	I talked to a cross-section of mainly French-Algerian young men who said to me it was pretty much, they felt, the attacks were actually a conspiracy by the Jews to make Muslims look bad.
	And they told me that they, one person told me that, in fact, they weren't just regular Jews that were doing this.
	In fact, they were a race of magical Jews, shape-shifting Jews that were master manipulators and could be everywhere at the same time.
	Roll up, roll up for the magical shape-shifting Jews.
	Step right this way.
	Roll up.
	Roll up for the shape-shifting Jews.
	Roll up.
	Roll up for the magical shape-shifting Jews.
	Roll up for the love.
	There you go.
	That is the story behind the magical shapeshifting Jews.
	That was the Charlie Hebdo attack.
	I don't know if that was mentioned in the clip.
	That's where it came from.
	And I can just hear us laughing when we played that for the first time.
	It's like, what the hell?
	Yes, it was funny.
	Of course, somebody makes a song out of it.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	Well, thank you again, Alicia.
	Then we have Martin McCauley from...
	Alicia.
	Alicia, yes.
	Alicia.
	I shall remember.
	Alicia.
	Martin McCauley is from Tampa, Florida.
	No slouch, 1373.
	Now, is this a jump on a producership for the next show to have a show-level donation?
	Yeah, we got back and forth on this donation because it was an accident that he did it.
	He was going to do it tomorrow so he could get it.
	But, you know, we can't do this stuff.
	But I'm thinking, you know, he wants to be a 1373 club member.
	I don't see why we can't give him that membership on today's show as a 1373 club member.
	Yes, and we'll just put it in there.
	I'm going to read his note.
	It's not like there's some rule.
	I mean, we make the rules.
	If not, rule two applies.
	We make the rules.
	He says, I fear there's no de-douching mechanism powerful enough to address the magnitude of the douchiness from which I suffer.
	Okay.
	I'm ashamed to say I first heard about the show and became a devoted listener when John plugged it on as Leo's guest on Twit a long time ago.
	I don't remember the exact episode number, but W was definitely president.
	Okay.
	Yeah, yeah.
	So that's bushier.
	That's in the beginning, yep.
	Yeah, very early.
	Since that time, I've listened to countless hours of the amazing work you're doing.
	In many ways, my entire worldview has been and is being shaped by the invaluable deconstruction you provide episode after episode.
	Even though I've been a profound douche in terms of donating treasure, I have hit many people in the mouth over the years, and I have regularly played clips for my four human resources, and I'm trying to train them in the ways of deconstruction.
	One of my favorite...
	Sessions with them was based on a Lester Holt fear-mongering clip about the, quote, disturbing new trend of white supremacism sweeping the nation.
	Oh, won't somebody please think of the children?
	Thank you for all that you do, and I wish you many years to come.
	Today, I joined the exclusive 1373 Club and humbly accept the Ignitehood that comes with membership.
	So I don't know if he's on the list.
	Hold on a second.
	I've got to put him on.
	Let me see.
	Uh...
	Okay, hold on.
	I asked to take the name Sir Martin of Tampa Bay.
	And he's going to pass...
	He's not on the list.
	He's not on the list.
	Yeah, but I don't see that he could possibly be on the list.
	Okay.
	Sir Martin of Tampa Bay.
	I'm going to pass on the Hooker's Blow and Chardonnay as the airing of the show set 1373 also happens to coincide with the 20th anniversary of me getting sober.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, what can we do for him then?
	Well...
	Kool-Aid and...
	He just doesn't...
	He's just going to pass on that.
	He's going to get Kool-Aid and Krispy Kreme.
	Today, I challenge all the other douches out there like me who have listened for years without providing any value in return, $1 an episode.
	Or another more appropriate way of looking at it is $0.33 an hour.
	Seems eminently fair.
	No jingles, no karma.
	That's what I'm talking about when it comes to value for value.
	Fantastic.
	Thank you so much.
	Thank you so much, sir.
	Very nice.
	And we continue with Michael Komorowski.
	Yeah, Komorowski, probably.
	Komorowski.
	He's up there.
	He's another Texan.
	He's in Forney, and he came with $1,000 and sent a note, so I have the note.
	Gents, please dedouche me.
	Yes, we can do that.
	You've been de-douched.
	I've been listening to the show since Adam's first Joe Rogan podcast appearance.
	You guys, Joe Rogan.
	You guys have been my grounding rod, especially after listening to the Dr. Osterholm interview on JRE.
	The amount of mental counseling your show provides is worth well beyond my donation.
	Mental?
	Which is $1,000.
	I want to say something.
	So besides mental counseling, I just want us to pause for a moment and recognize this show has covered four U.S. presidents.
	Huh?
	We've talked about Clinton.
	No, but that would be five.
	Thank you for...
	Yeah, he continues.
	It has covered a lot of ground.
	Thank you for keeping my amygdala small.
	I would like to be deemed Sir...
	Okay, here we go again.
	He's not on the list.
	No, I'm writing.
	Sir Michael pronounced Mi-Haw.
	It says M-E-H-O-W. So M-E-H-A-L. M-E-H-A-L. M-E-H-A-L. Of Samburski pronounced Shamburski. Shamburski.
	Shamburski.
	Okay.
	Son of Jan at the round table.
	J-A-N or Y-A-N? J-A-N. At the round table, I'd ask for Dab Beer.
	God.
	Is that some Texas beer?
	Uh, sounds like a weed beer.
	Dab Beer and Shrimp Cocktail.
	Hmm.
	Luckily, no jingles.
	Just good old homeschool farm selling karma.
	Dynamite.
	Is he selling the farm?
	Is he getting rid of the farm?
	He's selling the farm.
	He's selling the farm, everybody.
	There you go.
	You've got karma.
	Super duper.
	Thank you, Michael.
	Looking forward to you at the round table.
	Valerie Guirin, I would say.
	G-U-I-R-I-N-E, Guirin76311.
	Interesting number.
	Please kindly accept, oh, my return of the value for many years of douchebaggery.
	I would kindly ask you to de-douche me.
	I can do that.
	You've been de-douched.
	Oh, Valerie.
	Okay, he's from California.
	I don't know where in California, so it's a guy.
	May I please be knighted?
	No, that's Canada.
	Oh, Canada.
	I'm sorry.
	Valerie.
	Now it makes sense.
	Valerie, Canada.
	Yes.
	Is it France?
	Probably Quebec.
	May I please be knighted, Sir Kutuzov.
	C-U-T-U-Z-O-V. Kutuzov.
	Sir Kutuzov.
	How about that?
	That's what it is.
	Sir Kutuzov.
	And have a palmeni at the round table.
	What is a palmeni?
	I don't know.
	You're asking me questions I can't answer.
	I would appreciate relationship and house renovating karma.
	Absolutely!
	And I will definitely knight these or cut us off.
	You've got karma.
	You know, you should be flattered that I ask you.
	I expect you to know these things.
	It sounds like a kind of sausage.
	I know you do, but I don't have the IFB in my ear with somebody in the control room telling me what all this means so I sound smart.
	Stephen Dean's next on the list with 33333, executive producer, special executive producer, 33333.
	Bespoke, single-purpose karma works.
	I decided while listening to the 7-4 show to do a dedicated relationship karma request for the next show.
	And the very next day, a friend of mine gave me the number to one of her friends.
	Now you're talking...
	Got my karma on the 7-8 show.
	Met the girl in the purse on 7-11.
	I couldn't have designed a better gal.
	Designed?
	Designed a better gal.
	Is this a weird science movie?
	Seems somewhat cold, but okay.
	You can say it any way you want.
	You just have to adore a vivacious vixen that values her soon-to-be Viscount.
	Ooh.
	Nice.
	Any women that encourage you guys to become Viscounts is okay in my book.
	Okay with me, too.
	I plan on hitting her in the mouth ever so gently in the coming weeks.
	Put me down for the birthday list for Friday the 13th.
	Hit me with a LGY for the ongoing relationship and splash a little more karma on me for the coming job search just in case.
	Yay!
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	I'm just thinking, like, so she's listening.
	She's like, oh, he calls me vivacious vixen and all this stuff.
	And I said, what?
	You don't have a job?
	Unemployed.
	Sinead Visconti from Lantana, Texas.
	The Texans are out in force today.
	Oh yeah, good for them.
	John and Adam, please accept our donation and birthday gift of 333.33 for my unbelievably amazing husband, Vinny Visconti, and father, of course, to our beautiful little human resource, Aoife.
	I fell short last year when his birthday fell on actual show date, so this year I'm making up for it with the producership to celebrate his birthday tomorrow, Friday the 13th.
	Listening to your show has given us, including the little one, a whole new perspective on what the hell is going on with this plandemic.
	It has kept us sane and informed as well as being highly entertained.
	Whoa!
	Oh.
	That's success for me.
	I want to thank my husband who is tirelessly working away on our exit strategy and know that every day we love him and we are behind him.
	Can you please give him a Jobs Karma jingle and Foamer OMG listen to that horn.
	Thank you guys.
	Keep up the great work from Sinead and Aoife.
	Isn't that sweet?
	I love that.
	I love hearing these types of stories.
	And yes, of course we've got that for us.
	Oh my God!
	Woo!
	Listen to that horn!
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	And he's on the list.
	So now we have Brian Brown in Rome, New York, 3.30, 3.33.
	And I do have a note from him.
	And it says donation in the subject line like should.
	But it came in at 3.30 in the morning on Thursday.
	No, that is past the deadline, everybody.
	Everything ends at midnight Pacific time.
	Luckily, he uses right his name, which instead of, you know, phlegm or some people use weird names, which you can't look them up in the email.
	But he did use Brown, Brian Brown, and I have his note, right?
	Yeah.
	And get your pen out because he's got a switcheroo.
	Alright.
	So this is a switcheroo.
	I would like this 333 donation.33 credit to my son Seneca.
	His 24th trip around the sun begins today on August 12th, so please put him on the birthday list.
	Done.
	Seneca Brown and he's 24?
	Sorry?
	Yeah, 24.
	Nice.
	That would be nice.
	Why that word bothers you, John, I have not got a clue.
	Okay.
	What?
	Let me see, what word is he talking about?
	Around the sun, maybe?
	No?
	No.
	Trip around the sun begins today, so put him on the birthday list.
	That would be nice.
	Maybe he's thinking of George Carlin.
	George Carlin did a whole skit on the word nice.
	Yes, he did.
	And maybe he's thinking, I don't have a problem with it.
	No.
	For jingles, how about a goat karma and a biscuit for my birthday?
	Thanks.
	Okay.
	All right.
	We got all that for you.
	No problem.
	They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
	You've got...
	In the morning, gents, says Dr.
	Jonathan Boom from Canton, Massachusetts.
	And an executive producership at 33333.
	Please accept this donation in honor of my 33rd anniversary of my wedding to the smoking hot Mrs.
	Boom, mother of our grown and gone human resources.
	That's this coming Friday, August the 13th.
	33 years!
	And they never had a fight!
	Long overdue in mentioning that I was hit in the mouth originally by Sir Nathan Lee Miller Foster.
	Ah, a cult fan on No Agenda Social, of course.
	Very interesting guy.
	Hey, send John his astral chart.
	John will like it.
	I'm grateful for his doing so.
	Already going too long, so I'll leave it at that.
	Jingle request, 33 is the magic number.
	Smokin' hot wife with apologies to John.
	I know that you don't like it.
	Well, I found a compromise for that, I think.
	I've got a shorter version of it, which everyone can agree to.
	Let's see.
	Plus jobs karma with a heaping side of goat for all who need it.
	Love is lit.
	Stay safe.
	I'm not the spook.
	It's Dr.
	Jonathan Boom from Canton, Massachusetts.
	33, that's the magic number.
	It's the magic number.
	Boogity, boogity, boogity, anybody.
	Bones and drivers and news from tonight.
	Lord, I want to thank you for my smoking hot job.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	That's both for dogs.
	You saw.
	Karma.
	C.N. Marshand in Wynwood, Pennsylvania, 33330.
	I have no note from this person.
	Neither do I. I also looked but did not find anything.
	So I'll go on to Baron Finch in Portland, Oregon, 33333.
	ITM gents, I've been waiting for this moment over since I started listening to you guys over 10 years ago.
	My 33rd birthday lands on a show day.
	Nice.
	What a better way to celebrate than with an executive producership to the best podcast in the universe.
	All I want to say is thank you for the endless, thoughtful, valuable insight you've provided over the years.
	Love you guys.
	Cheers, Baron Finch.
	He wants 33 is the magic number.
	Boom shakalaka.
	Boom shakalaka.
	You've got karma.
	J. Cole 333 from Burns, Tennessee.
	Please accept this donation in honor of my smoking hot wife, Sonia.
	Today marks the 32nd time she has circled the earth.
	She conveyed to me that all she wanted was a donation made to the No Agenda show.
	Oh, there you go.
	That's nice.
	Please de-douche her.
	You've been de-douched.
	We both began listening to your show in June 2020 after we had...
	Tell me that's a Pabst Blue Ribbon.
	I could use one right now.
	I got cotton moth.
	To that woman.
	I got cotton moth, baby.
	We both began listening to your show in June 2020 after we returned from a spring break trip.
	At the time, we were so frightened by the pandemic and we refused to let our children use public restrooms on the eight-hour car drive home.
	Okay, I need some details on the solution for you making your kids hover above the grass.
	It was quite a sight trying to find suitable places along the interstate for three human resources to take a potty break.
	Looking back now, my wife and I can't help but hysterically laugh at our initial reaction, and thank you guys for helping keep our amygdala small.
	We look forward to every Thursday and Sunday and want to be sure we prolong the exit strategy as long as possible.
	No jingles, no karma, just a birthday shout-out from two of her favorites, Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	Well, yes.
	Happy birthday, and we have you on the birthday list.
	Many thanks, gents.
	J. Cole.
	Thank you.
	Nice.
	Nice note.
	Okay, this is a one to pronounce.
	Sebastian.
	Sebastian.
	G-U-I-T-E in Erie, Colorado.
	I am not requesting anything but a de-douching.
	You've been de-douched.
	And to call out my buddy Bob in Arizona for being a douchebag.
	Message received.
	Nice.
	Josh Cox, a.k.a.
	Sir Thoth of Tahala.
	This is Josh, a.k.a.
	Sir Thoth of Tahala.
	He's the guy you left behind in Austin.
	Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
	I know who this is, of course.
	Also, Josh of the Web Hosting Co-op.
	It's webhosting.coop.
	Something to look at, by the way.
	And also, No Agenda Local 512.
	And your local No Agenda Arch Linux Guardian.
	I want this donation to go towards Adam's Linux Audio Karma.
	Dealer's choice on Jingle.
	He has been helping, of all the people...
	It was...
	Very interesting.
	I told you about the studio laptop I'm working on.
	I want to get it all on Linux and I have an issue with the USB device.
	He's the one that came through.
	I haven't tried all of his tricks, but he completely understands the problem.
	Most people, and I just want to get this out of the way, unlike Josh, most people who understand Linux very well are very willing to help, but they always say, oh, you're on Linux Mint?
	Yeah.
	No, I'm on, you know, the X75. They always want you to use their Linux.
	Their Linux.
	You've always got the wrong Linux.
	Oh, okay.
	You're on Linux Mint.
	That's Ubuntu-based?
	Okay.
	All right.
	Noob.
	But not Sir Toth of Sahala.
	I really appreciate it, and I'll just take a normal goat karma.
	Thank you so much.
	You've got karma.
	It's something with System D. You know, it's a big argument over that.
	About what?
	System D. Don't even get me started.
	I'm sorry I mentioned it.
	I don't want emails.
	I don't want emails.
	I don't want to even deal with such a thing.
	Brian Williams, not that one, sir.
	KC9YJM73's Green Knight of Harris Barron of the Ionosphere Order of the Broke Knights.
	Okay, that's a mouthful of $311.
	Today finds me newly recovered from my prostatectomy cancer.
	Recovering from my birthday, 8-10, the 21st anniversary of my 39th birthday, 50, and nearly unemployed, they gave me a month's garden leave.
	If I don't like the garden, so it's a double whammy.
	Oh, I don't like the garden, so it's a garden leave.
	That's cute.
	Now, can I get some old programmers' job-getting karma?
	Adam73s, John, you are down to 72.8.
	Renew!
	Renew!
	You don't get 73s!
	Brian Williams, not that one.
	Sir Casey9YJM73s, Green Knight of the Hams.
	Green Knight of the Hams, Baron of the Ironosphere, Order of the Broke Knights.
	Angel number 333 or 311 numerology represents growth, change and transformation.
	311 is the number of development in every area of your life including but not limited to relationship, work and career, health, spirituality, personal finances, happiness, creativity and freedom of expression.
	Okay, so we sent a 311 donation.
	I really appreciate that.
	Yeah, based on all that, yeah.
	Yeah, well, it's an angel number.
	Hello?
	Yes, we got some old programmer job getting karma for you.
	Hey, I want some programming karma.
	I need a job!
	You've got karma.
	And that's cancer.
	Christopher Hubbard, first associate executive producer.
	We're moving down the list.
	Almost done with this.
	285.33.
	Hey, I finally hit someone in the mouth.
	His name is Alex.
	He's only listened to one show so far.
	Is it too early to call him out as a douchebag?
	I don't know, John.
	You can call him out.
	Yeah, if you want, but I think you have to make a decision.
	Oh, it's too late now.
	Never mind.
	That's done.
	It's done.
	What can I say?
	It's done deal.
	It's done deal.
	Jobs, karma, please.
	I'll keep it short and finish with a quote from J305. Quote, I don't tell my homies be safe, I tell them stay dangerous.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Yay!
	Ethos.
	Karma.
	And Amy here, Amy Mullen, another Texan from Austin.
	You're doing your job there.
	You won't see so much of that around here.
	262.15, Austin, Texas.
	Californians step up.
	I'm being embarrassed.
	In the morning, John and Adam, this is a donation from my smoking hot husband, John Moochink.
	Please de-douche him.
	You've been de-douched.
	And put him on a birthday list.
	He is on the birthday list.
	And play him some Jobs Karma.
	Thanks for all you do.
	Love is lit, Amy.
	And you know, the Texas thing, I must say, yesterday Tina and I had a...
	Let me play the Jobs Karma and then I'll tell you the story.
	Jobs, Jobs, Jobs, and Jobs.
	Let's vote for Jobs!
	Jobs, Jobs, Karma.
	So we're finishing up the house.
	Everything's getting good.
	We needed a couple items, so we go to the local Ace Hardware store.
	Ace is the place with the helpful hardware folks, just in case you didn't know.
	And it's locally owned.
	And so we buy a handgun for her.
	Then we buy a grill.
	Then we go to a winery, which is a perfect combination.
	But at this winery, man, the Texas people, they know all about No Agenda.
	The guy says, excuse me, brother, what's your name?
	Adam Curry.
	Oh, yeah, from the Joe Rogan show.
	Ah, yes, okay.
	So it works.
	What, that you were carrying a gun?
	No, I'm just telling you what we were doing.
	No, it works.
	The promotion, the Texans, that's what Texans are paying attention.
	We have the Texas audience eating out of the palm of our hand.
	It sounds like it.
	Yes, I'm very happy with that.
	Well, you're doing good work, let's put it that way.
	Dame Rachel is from Covington, Louisiana, 222-22, a sack of twos.
	And she says, she sent an email, she said, with a short note, The note is short.
	It kind of flows into a not-so-short note, but I will...
	Do you actually have the note?
	I only have the...
	I seem to only have the PS. That's interesting.
	I only seem to have...
	Oh, boy.
	I'll look it up.
	This sucks.
	Why don't you just keep reading.
	Keep the next person.
	I'll look up her.
	It's a very long...
	It's Dame Rachel.
	Here's the problem.
	Yeah.
	Please do not use my full name.
	Just use Dame Rachel.
	So her full name is not on the spreadsheet.
	No.
	And so what says PDF? Yeah, that's the PDF that...
	Oh, is it on the PDF? It's not on the PDF? Well, the PDF seems to be just a long...
	If you keep reading, and I'll go look in the PDF and see if I can get it.
	Okay, okay, we're coordinated.
	Red, alpha red, alpha red.
	The best we can do.
	I'll continue to read.
	You go to the PDF. Dame Rachel, we'll get right back to you.
	Daniel Evans, 210, from Las Vegas, Nevada.
	210 richer as my wife and I were cut from a trip hosted by old friends to the Ozarks because we aren't juiced.
	Wow.
	My wife is a babely 40 and pregnant with our first dynamite.
	She's also a registered nurse who says hell no to the jab.
	When nurses protest, pay attention.
	No jingles, no karma.
	Yes, Daniel, thank you very much and thank you for sharing that.
	Sirteets20192, shrimp-eyed Mike is still a douchebag, he says.
	Douchebag!
	On behalf of my wife Pickles, please gently de- Pickles, please gently de-douche her.
	You've been de-douched.
	Don't worry, you gotta roll.
	She's been a mother on a mission with our daughter, pulling out all the stops to foster exponential growth in our trap baby.
	Our trap baby.
	Well, I can only claim credit for the kid laughing at her own farts.
	Yeah, this is what kids do.
	We recently found out how fast baby-making R2-D2 karma works.
	It took just one month, as our second bun is in the oven!
	Pickles is already glowing brightly, beaming with light only pregnant women have.
	Waking up next to her is to come out of one dream and right into another.
	Aw.
	Heart.
	Heart emoji.
	She requested no jingles, just that John say, Hey, Pickles, in that sultry voice he's cultivated, and some uncut goat karma, as we are another set of producers hell-bent on acquiring family land to build as we embark on a homeschool, home-birth, OTG life.
	And happy belated anniversary, John and Mimi.
	Listen to these two.
	Hey, Pickles.
	You've got...
	Karma.
	I've got the same PS note you have, and there's no name on this, so I can't do any more for...
	But Dame Rachel, you can send us a note, and we will read it on the next show.
	Yeah, I'd be glad to.
	I should mention, by the way...
	Well, I'll mention it in a minute.
	Another one I have to go look.
	I will continue with Sir North to South from Lakeside, Arizona.
	$200.
	Oh, no.
	I've got this note.
	Hold on a second.
	Can I finish it?
	It's a short one.
	No.
	Oh, yeah.
	Do that.
	Sir North to South, $200, Lakeside, Arizona.
	Hi, guys.
	I'll keep it short.
	I need horse racing karma.
	Last time I asked for it, my horse, fast enough, won the California Cup.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	You remember, this is the official No Agenda horse.
	Yeah, it's just No Agenda horse.
	It's the horse of the No Agenda show.
	Fast enough.
	Right now, coming down the pike from Gitmo Nation, it's fast enough!
	This Friday is Younger...
	Bubblegum sticking to the rail.
	Bubblegum sticking to the rail.
	Nice.
	This Friday, his younger brother, Mogollon Rim, runs his first race at Del Mar.
	Oh, okay, so this is the younger brother of Fast Enough, Mogollon Rim.
	What is M-O-G-O-L-L-O-N? Mogollon.
	I have no idea.
	Mogollon Rim.
	Again, I need the IFB in the year.
	Mogollon Rim is coming up, bringing up the rear.
	The rim is in the rear.
	Oh, boy.
	We should do one of those for real.
	Okay!
	Well, we definitely want...
	Now, do we do goat karma?
	Or what kind of karma do we do?
	Horse racing karma?
	Ah, no!
	I know what we need.
	This will do it.
	We need some good, old-fashioned luge karma.
	That will do it.
	Hold on a second.
	All right.
	Go, go, go, Moggeline Rim!
	You've got...
	Tell me, that won't be like Ginger up the horse's butt.
	Okay, so now the next one is Skier Incognito.
	And this is the $222, I think, and 22 cents.
	No, $233?
	$200.33?
	Jingle requests, we're all going to die, and we.
	Now she writes, she comes in with, well, yeah, she comes in, sup dudes.
	These funds are in honor of my father with the red Citebria, Citebria, C-I-T-A-B-R-I-A, who turned the grand age of 45 yesterday.
	He's the coolest dad any daughter could wish for, but there's one minor dilemma that needs correcting today.
	My father claims to have been listening since No Agenda's first episode and has never directly donated.
	Although he's supposed to be supportive of the NA shop, he's no more beating around the bush.
	Please dedouche him.
	She's donating on behalf of her dad.
	Yeah. .
	Dad hit me in the mouth back in 2015 before his own wife and the Media Deconstruction podcast became something he and I have been sharing ever since.
	Today, the No Agenda show is something with which the whole family listens and has been the epicenter of many good conversations.
	It is true that families who listen together stay together.
	Please give Red Citabria.
	Citabria.
	I'm still not sure what that is.
	The producer's name.
	The producer credits.
	So this is another switcheroo that came in by email.
	Okay, hold on a second.
	And you're going to have to spell that one for me.
	C-I-T-A-B-R-I-A. Hold on, hold on, hold on.
	C-I-T-A-B-R-I-A. Okay.
	Okay.
	Cittabria?
	That's it, Cittabria?
	Cittabria, that's it.
	No last name, Cittabria.
	Red Cittabria.
	No, it's just Red Cittabria.
	Red Cittabria, thank you.
	This donation, get your pen out, kicks off Dad's journey to knighthood.
	He can pick up from there.
	Congratulations.
	Oh, no.
	Well, yes, his birthday is his 45th birthday, I guess.
	Yes.
	Yesterday was his 45th birthday, so he should probably be on the...
	I don't know.
	I don't have the IFB in.
	So it's tomorrow or today?
	Yesterday.
	Yesterday.
	Okay.
	And 45th.
	Okay.
	Mr.
	Dvorak and Mr.
	Creep, keep on keeping it real.
	Yeah.
	If we ever get anything straight with these birthdays and letters, we're out of control.
	No, we're out of control.
	Of course we do what we can.
	I'm just laughing at us.
	I'm not bitching.
	Okay.
	So what was the last one we did?
	Was it Aaron Farrell?
	I do that passive-aggressively.
	Let me see.
	No, Aaron is up now.
	You do that one, I'll do the next one.
	Aaron Farrell in Wadsworth, Texas.
	Oh, no, I'm sorry.
	Wait, wait, stop.
	Did I forget the jingles for Rebs?
	Cittabria?
	Yes.
	A wee and something else?
	Oh.
	Let me go back.
	Yes, this is the prose.
	The prose.
	It's how you do it, everybody.
	Okay, what are these?
	D-douching?
	He's a D-douching.
	We did that.
	There was something with the Wii.
	There it is.
	We're all going to die in Wii.
	Ah, going to die.
	Okay.
	Holy crap.
	Alright.
	We're all going to die!
	Alright, mission fulfilled.
	I like that.
	That's cute.
	It is cool.
	Sir North to South.
	Okay.
	Aaron Farrell.
	You did Sir North to South.
	Yeah.
	Wadsworth, Illinois, not Texas.
	$200.
	We're almost done.
	ITM. This is Aaron Farrell.
	I fulfilled my 111.11 donation and would like to be claimed as Sir Principles.
	Sir Principles of the spineless twats.
	Yeah.
	I like it.
	It's good.
	At the round table, could I please have a good bowl of common sense?
	To keep my amygdala right-sized.
	Consider it done.
	A heaping bowl of it.
	And our final associate executive producer, last one for the break.
	Sarah Schweitzer from Edgewood, Kentucky.
	$200.
	And she says, thank you for an informative and interesting show that has kept me sane for over a year now.
	If I had a dollar for every person who said that.
	Kept me sane.
	You've kept me sane, too.
	Believe me.
	Please credit this donation to my most amazing husband, Sean.
	Ah, a switcheroo.
	Uh, okay.
	So, Sean will be there.
	Okay.
	Who agreed that we should donate a large sum to the show while also cooking us dinner and crying over the onions.
	Adam is going on about...
	Oh, this is good.
	Yes, I remember this.
	Adam is going on about the eviction moratorium and the relief money for landlords and renters that have been sent to the states, but only two and a half, two percentage have been distributed.
	Yes, it's more than $40 billion.
	What happened?
	Well, she says, my parents have been small business owners of rentals in San Diego County since the early 90s.
	They had some renters stop paying their rent for a few months as soon as the moratorium went into effect last year.
	These renters then went out and bought new cars and boats.
	They wised up a bit and started paying again, but none of the back rent.
	In order to get the back rent, at least in California...
	Okay, this is what we were talking about, where states make it incredibly difficult to get the money, which was left up to the states.
	It's different in every state.
	In California, the landlord and renters have to fill out the paperwork.
	Then a check is made out in both of their names.
	So the problem my parents are having is that they would need a renter who was willing to work with them.
	However, if the renter stopped paying rent and never worked with my dad when he reached out to them to ask if they needed a break in the first place, they wouldn't work with them on the paperwork for the government.
	Exactly.
	On top of all that, San Diego County has become a, quote, safe haven against evictions, and my dad was not allowed to process any evictions even when the state lifted its eviction ban.
	In addition, if they want to sell the house, and I'm not sure they are allowed to vacate the premises for any reason beside this, they've made comments that suggest they can't, or if they tried, nothing will happen.
	They have to give them a month of three rent.
	Needless to say, they've decided to sell their houses as people move out and move their business out of state.
	There you go.
	These are the people who you don't trust.
	These a-hole people in the middle layer.
	These suck-asses.
	Not all of them.
	I have a couple of donations to mention.
	Let me just finish up with Sarah.
	Love and light.
	Stay safe with Jesus.
	Sarah.
	And she says, Jingles goat karma for remodeling our house.
	P.S. In remodeling our house, our floor order has been delayed.
	Not because they lack the materials, but because trucks are not showing up to pick up the shipments.
	Yeah, there you go.
	The Great Reset, well underway.
	Thank you very much, Sarah.
	You've got...
	Karma.
	I have two more, a few others that I'll put in the second half, but it's just two executive producer-level donations.
	One from Christy Bentley, $350.
	These are picked up, and this was in goods, and these goods will be revealed in a future show.
	And that's the value.
	And you'll get a kick out of that.
	But Sarah was there.
	Sarah Rupert, who's actually...
	She's Dame or Baroness.
	That's a real title.
	Well, anyway.
	Baroness Sarah Rupert and Sucker Baby Violet Sucker Baby.
	Oh yeah, Sucker Baby Violet.
	She was at the Oakland meetup and I called her Sucker Baby Violet there.
	She's the cutest.
	Cool name.
	She was a baby then, now she's one and a half.
	Speaks at one and a half, toddles around, cute as can be, doesn't fuss.
	She's a trap or a sucker baby.
	Which is the kind of baby that...
	Men should be aware of and keep your women away from because they, oh, that baby's so cute.
	Let's have one.
	And of course, then you get a normal baby, which is not the same.
	And then before you know it, then you have your babies and then your wife says, get a vasectomy.
	Time to look like a lesbian.
	Sarah and Sucker Baby Violet here to humbly ask producers a strong dose of collective karma for the quick sale of our Sonoma County house on the Russian River.
	We have recently opened a pizza place, a pizzeria in Piedmont called Pizzeria Violetta, which is named after the baby.
	I have taken, so check that out.
	I think it's on Piedmont Avenue in the East Bay.
	So people should go check it out.
	First of all, congratulations, entrepreneurs.
	I love that.
	I do too.
	We'll also be selling our Napa home.
	I guess they have two places.
	Damn.
	Lots of transitions for us.
	The karma and support from the No Agenda community is appreciated.
	Could you play your best karma jingle?
	I've been here since episode one.
	Violet is practicing her No Agenda jingles.
	I told her to.
	Because Violet's got a cute little voice.
	Oh, she's got the voice too.
	The child abuser.
	She's one and a half, so that's really down there.
	So the cute little voice, and we're going to get her to say stuff, but she's going to get...
	Hey, get that kid to say stuff.
	I got a beautiful note from one of our producers, and he had his kid, and the kid was doing Don't Eat Me, Kamala Harris.
	But none of them were quite there, right?
	It's just, you know, the kid's working with him, the kid's trying to make it happen, and he's got four takes.
	And I had to say, in fact, I hate to say this, but the kid really has to sound more terrified.
	It's like...
	That's where you need...
	The kid has to sound terrified.
	Go ahead.
	Yes, right.
	You've got to direct the kid.
	The kids need direction and they'll take it.
	Do you think the kid can really...
	I mean, that's almost abusive, man.
	I don't want to tell anyone to, hey, make your kid sound terrified.
	That's weird.
	Hey, you know what they used to do to the kid actors in Hollywood in the old days?
	Exactly.
	WC Fields has a story where they had to have the kid upset, so in between takes, they went up to the kid and said, oh, by the way, you know your dog?
	Yeah, my dog.
	You know, Sparky the dog, he died.
	I'm sorry to tell you that.
	What?
	My Sparky died?
	Yeah, I'm sorry.
	You don't...
	Yeah, we'll do this and you go home and...
	What?
	And then we get the kid all worked up.
	You know, it's the way to go.
	And then we reset, reset for the scene.
	And then you tell the kid that Sparky isn't dead and you get the coming out of the tears, the happy face.
	It's dynamite.
	Yeah, you can't go wrong.
	Yeah, well, I do not condone the idea of...
	You know, making your child terrified for the show is not good, but the adrenochrome is much more pure if you do that.
	Now, by the way, one more executive producer, Ron Pepper, sent in a check for $250, but I don't think that he left a newt.
	Will you remember these for the credits at the end?
	Oh, yeah.
	Okay, because I don't have those in the spreadsheet.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Thank you all very much.
	These are executive and associate executive producers.
	And what a segment for today on 1372.
	It's so highly appreciated.
	Thank you for delivering on the simple ask of time, talent, or treasure.
	You are truly producing the No Agenda Show.
	It is the best podcast in the universe.
	Karma for those executive producers.
	You've got karma.
	And remember, oops, wrong one.
	And remember, if you want to participate in the fun, go to this website.
	Dvorak.org slash NA. There you go.
	Thank you for your time, your talent, your treasure, producing the best podcast in the universe, 1372.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Water! Water!
	Shut up, flame!
	Shut up, flame!
	That was funny.
	I think we should have the pizza place making no agenda pizza.
	Mmm.
	Mmm.
	Yes.
	Because I think it would be called No Agenda Pizza and you would have, it wouldn't have any particular, it would be kind of like a do-it-yourself maybe?
	No.
	No Agenda Pizza clearly has pepperoni, black olives, and pineapple.
	We all know it.
	Well, I like the pineapple.
	They probably don't have a pineapple pizza.
	Goat meat.
	How about goat meat?
	Yeah, well, goat meat.
	Come on!
	No Agenda Pizza, it's 33 inches.
	There you go.
	It's 33 inches.
	It's a big one.
	Bring the family.
	Bring the family for your No Agenda Pizza.
	Hey, I think we should just talk about Cuomo.
	I have one clip.
	I have two clips on Cuomo.
	But I got the one clip that I think put him over.
	I think this is the clip.
	This is a clip.
	This is the woman, I think, when she came around.
	Just set it up.
	Not everyone knows what's going on in the world.
	Governor Cuomo, governor of New York, who has been smacking fannies, killing grannies.
	Horrible things came out.
	He was very anti-Trump.
	He was the hero.
	He was leading the world.
	Kumbaya.
	Won an Emmy.
	In fact, I'm sorry, I have a supercut.
	This can explain exactly what they were saying about him.
	Mind you, 10, 15, maybe 25,000 old people died because of choices he and his administration made in nursing homes.
	That investigation has been stopped and kind of covered over, or maybe it was the reason to get him out, cover over with sexual harassment.
	If you don't mind, a supercut from the M5M lauding over the shining star of New York.
	David, we're standing by for Governor Cuomo's press conference, his daily briefing.
	How would you contrast Cuomo and President Trump's handling of the crisis?
	Truth versus mendacity.
	Governor Cuomo, out there day after day after day, everything Trump isn't.
	Honest, direct, brave.
	Real leadership of the kind the President of the United States should have provided.
	Governor Cuomo is clearly living in a totally different reality.
	the actual one than the president of the United States.
	Governor Cuomo has become a national leader.
	For a lot of people, Andrew Cuomo has become the leader of the Democratic Party.
	He is conveying incredible strength.
	You spoke to National Guard troops today in a stirring speech that if I wasn't listening carefully, I thought you were sending soldiers off to war.
	This is It's been a remarkable show of leadership by Governor Cuomo in recent days.
	He's providing hope, but not false hope.
	Governor Cuomo, I think, is one of the heroes on the front lines.
	With all of this adulation that you're getting for doing your job, are you thinking about running for president?
	Andrew Cuomo, who has a daily television show now, and has become in some ways the shadow president.
	Maybe Trump is just a little bit mad that Governor Cuomo has become a kind of acting president.
	Dealing with hardship actually makes you stronger.
	That's what Governor Cuomo said earlier today.
	That's what I'm going to go teach my kids right now at home.
	Okay, shocking.
	I didn't know he had kids.
	Seltzer water has kids?
	You know, this guy was the biggest apologist for Cuomo, and he was on the, I don't have a clip, but he was on the Stephen Colbert show continuing to apologize for Cuomo and his brother.
	Oh, really?
	Oh, uh-huh.
	So here is the, I think this is the straw that broke the camel's back, this particular testimony by a woman who came in out of the blue, the last one.
	And just to listen to her discuss this, this Cuomo last straw, hilarious.
	I had to go over to the mansion to help the governor with a state of the state speech.
	I wasn't there late.
	I did my final edit, and while I was upstairs in the office, the governor said, why don't we take a selfie?
	So his suggestion, you said?
	Yes.
	With your phone?
	With my phone.
	I then felt, while taking the selfie, his hand go down my back, onto my butt, and he started rubbing it.
	The second instance took place in November of 2020.
	Camisso says the governor again touched her inappropriately.
	Comiso filed a criminal complaint against Cuomo last week.
	On Saturday, Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple said his office will launch a criminal investigation into Comiso's complaint, which could result in one or multiple misdemeanor charges against Cuomo.
	Yeah, I didn't know about the butt groping.
	I got the boob cupping.
	No, the hand goes down, he grabs the butt, and starts revving it.
	This guy is a creep.
	Damn, Gina?
	So the other clip I have...
	Do you see on the streets of New York when he resigned, there were just gangs of dudes chanting, Cuomo can't get pussy.
	This guy is being taken down hard.
	Yeah, he is being taken down hard.
	He deserves it.
	And so here's the new governor coming in, the lieutenant governor.
	She comes in and she throws him under the bus.
	Hold on a second.
	What's...
	This is new governor slams Cuomo.
	It's right from NPR. Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul is preparing to be sworn in as New York's first woman governor.
	Hochul takes the reins in two weeks when Governor Andrew Cuomo steps down over sexual harassment allegations.
	She says she's ready.
	The governor and I have not been close.
	Physically or otherwise, in terms of much time.
	And so I've been traveling the state and do not spend much time in his presence or in the presence of many in the state capitol.
	But that is what is being reported.
	And I'm going to stand right here.
	At the end of my term, whenever it ends, no one will ever describe my administration as a toxic work environment.
	And Hochul says anyone else cited for unethical behavior in the governor's office under Cuomo will not be a part of her administration.
	She also says that Cuomo has promised her a smooth transition.
	Ben, did you hear the Attorney General?
	This attack woman who's been going after everybody she can?
	Listen to how she characterized it.
	The women who have come forward.
	Ms.
	Lea Mietis.
	Oh, I thought it was the Attorney General.
	This is from her press conference.
	She is not a state employee.
	She works for an energy company.
	The governor was at a public event, and he was working a grope line.
	There were dozens of people there.
	No, that is her.
	There were reporters.
	That is her.
	No, that is the Attorney General.
	The grope line.
	That's the Attorney General, yeah.
	Grope line.
	He was working a grope.
	I mean, that's hyperbole.
	That's a good one.
	It's a good one, but that shows the hatred.
	Now, do you think that this has been a setup for him?
	Because, to be fair, I have, I think, a minute here of what he said during his resignation, which I think would be nice to hear.
	I think this is it.
	Hold on a second.
	The governor said that the political environment right now is too hot and too reactionary.
	You know, he presented his side at that news conference and even gave some reasons as to why he resigned, saying he wanted to save tax dollars on the impeachment investigation and also saying he wanted the state government to get back to business.
	I am a fighter.
	And my instinct is to fight through this controversy.
	But after multiple rounds of punching back, the three-term governor took his biggest political career blow to date.
	And I think that given the circumstances, the best way I can help now is if I step aside...
	He continued to insist he didn't believe he did anything wrong.
	In my mind, I've never crossed the line with anyone, but I didn't realize the extent to which the line has been redrawn.
	Cuomo's stunning resignation comes exactly one week after the state attorney general, Letitia James, released a damning report.
	What a coward.
	What a coward.
	Oh my goodness.
	He could have just resigned with all the other nonsense.
	This cowardice comes from his bullcrap excuses.
	And the idea that running your hand, I don't care what era you're in, you could be in World War II, the 30s.
	You can't run your hand down someone's dress and then grab her butt and start rubbing it and think that's okay.
	Oh, I didn't know that was...
	Oh, they changed the rules.
	I don't know.
	Oh, I was just cupping a boob.
	What's the problem?
	Oh, rule change.
	He's just making this stuff.
	What year was he born?
	Let's see.
	I'm going to say 54?
	He was born in 57.
	So he was born in 1957.
	So he's like late baby boomer.
	He's full of shit, this guy.
	He is.
	Oh, I didn't know they changed the rules on me.
	When I was a kid, what it tells me is that his dad, Mario Cuomo, was a real douchebag.
	Because that's what he's doing.
	He is making his dad the famous Mario Cuomo that would have been president if it wasn't for Bill Clinton.
	He's making him proud.
	Well, he's dead.
	He must have taught the kids this, and I would have to say that Fredo Cuomo, which is Chris Cuomo, is also one of these guys, because he looks the type.
	There's clips of him threatening people in bars and acting like a tough guy.
	The family is bad.
	It's a bad family.
	They've besmirched the family with these lies.
	And meanwhile, quietly, quietly, his assistant resigned.
	Now, it was quiet in the way that, hey, you know, she resigned because she couldn't work for that man.
	It was just horrible, obviously.
	And you read down a little further in the article, and she's the one that was obfuscating the evidence of the dead people.
	So she's out of the way.
	She's a bad actor.
	Out the back door.
	Oh yeah, she slipped right out the back, Jack.
	Yeah.
	Well, like the new governor, the former...
	Yeah, well, I have her...
	She says...
	Well, she's the one who gives the thing where they were close.
	I know, but I have a minute clip about Kathy Hochul.
	Kathy Hochul stepping out from Andrew Cuomo's shadow.
	Oh no!
	No, I'm sorry, that's...
	No, that's her.
	Kathy Hochul stepping out from Andrew Cuomo's shadow.
	I want people to know that I'm ready for this.
	The lieutenant governor will replace the besieged Cuomo on August 24th.
	Besieged.
	Hochul today promising she'll be a different kind of leader.
	No one will ever describe my administration as a toxic work environment.
	The state attorney general's blockbuster report on Cuomo detailed the allegations of 11 women who say the governor sexually harassed them.
	In my mind...
	Okay.
	That's kind of double.
	Doesn't matter.
	All right.
	It's a douchebag.
	But he's not going to get the punishment that he deserves for...
	You know, if he said, hey, man, I really messed this up.
	Let me stop and fix it.
	But covering it up.
	He can't do that.
	He's a bony baloney liar.
	That's horrible.
	Even the mob, you know, even the mob will be honest at some point about some stuff.
	This guy.
	Well, it's good riddance.
	Yeah.
	But they really, they shoved him out the back door as fast as they could.
	The Democrats don't need this aggravation.
	No, they don't.
	I have just kind of a quick change of pace, just because this is kind of news.
	Robin of Batman and Robin is gay.
	No, he's not.
	Yes, he is.
	No, he's not.
	He's bisexual.
	That's not according to NPR. After 80 years, Batman's trusted sidekick finally had his coming out moment.
	And the latest comic, Robin, his real name is Tim Drake, accepts a male friend's offer to go on a date.
	Many fans of the character have been looking forward to this.
	Tim struggled with identity.
	He knows who he is when it comes to vigilantism, but this was a space where it felt the most correct.
	This was the next moment for him.
	That's Megan Fitzmartin.
	She's the writer for this series of DC Comics.
	The significance, I think, has been others seeing themselves in the character and feeling seen and cared for in a way that speaks to something that they've seen for a long time.
	Robin made his first appearance back in 1940, and he's not the first comic book superhero to come out as queer, but he is by far the most high-profile one.
	People like North Star, Batwoman, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Iceman, Apollo, Midnighter, but you notice something about all those names.
	They're not necessarily household names.
	That's Glenn Weldon, host of NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour.
	He has always been a Robin who thinks too much, so it makes sense that his coming-up process is also marked by a kind of deeply introspective self-analysis that finds him trying to reconcile his heart and his head.
	So how are fans responding?
	Belen Ortega is the comics illustrator, and she told us that social media feedback she's gotten has been very positive.
	Mostly it's people feeling that they were in the same situation that Tim Drake was, feeling very lost in their lives.
	So this was like a reflection for themselves.
	Robin's journey will continue in the next issue, which comes out in December.
	Okay, a couple of things.
	Why is this even on NPR? They did a whole special about someone who died recently, who was kind of the face of NPR. He did some show, and he had this theory about NPR should not be doing anything trivial or stupid.
	This is the stupidest story ever.
	That I've ever heard on any...
	They didn't do it on mainstream media as far as I know.
	Oh, no.
	It's all over the news this morning.
	It is?
	Yeah, this morning.
	That's how I know he's bi.
	This is so...
	Who cares?
	It's a comic strip.
	It's a comic book character.
	Yeah, well, but they're just talking...
	Well, no, but understand that they're not just saying, hey, you know, he's bi or queer.
	They're saying in the new comic book, it's a promotion.
	Yeah, it was promoting the comic book.
	You ought to buy a comic book.
	It's going to be a collectible.
	But that's the whole story.
	It is a promotion.
	This is what's happened between corporations.
	Honestly, John, I think this is more of that ESG. This is what you got to do.
	Be woke.
	So, Marvel.
	Is it Marvel?
	Please tell me I'm right.
	Or DC. Marvel.
	DC. DC. Thank you.
	So, DC's being all woke.
	By the way, I'm disappointed.
	I thought Batman and Robin always got it on, but okay.
	They're woke.
	They get bonus points for equity.
	They can put that on their little chart for the investors.
	Oh, look what we did.
	Investors like this stuff.
	And the same for NPR. They're part of the same system.
	Oh, our listeners love this.
	And this drives everything.
	And it drives division.
	And it drives this dumb conversation.
	That's the point.
	That's why they're doing it, to have this conversation.
	Everyone go nuts about it.
	To be disgusting about it.
	I've got nuts.
	And this was very well explained.
	The woke culture.
	There's a book called Woke Inc.
	I haven't read it yet because it comes out on the 17th.
	But I saw the author of it, Vivek Ramaswamy.
	I talked about him earlier.
	Ramaswamy is a millennial, kind of like 28, 29, 30 years old, somewhere in that neighborhood.
	He was a very successful trader, investor in pharmaceuticals, I don't know, Goldman or whatever.
	Very successful.
	Then he started his own biotech company and had very successful drugs.
	You know, like orphan stuff and some bigger.
	And he's made a lot of money and he's quit and he says, because I see this wokeness is being driven throughout the, he saw it first in the medical industry.
	And no one's honest and they're all just doing it just really for economic security.
	Like, oh, even CEOs, I might as well just say, yeah, go BLM, go whatever, you know, it's good.
	And that that is really driving the demise of the country, and so he's quit everything to write this book and to go and evangelize how we need to stop that.
	He has a lot of ideas that I don't agree with, but in this woke joke...
	In this woke system, something that he talked about, it's just about two minutes, that blew my mind away.
	It has nothing to do with woke culture per se, but it is something that I've always wondered about.
	When a company gets fined, when these banks get fined, you always say, oh, they did something wrong.
	Oh, Facebook did something wrong.
	A billion dollars, you know, five billion dollars.
	It's usually more like 500 million because they don't really get tapped for anything bad.
	But the billions of dollars.
	So where does that go?
	I mean, I always thought it goes back into the pot, right?
	Doesn't that go back to the Americans?
	Into the general fund.
	Yeah, the FISC, I think it's called.
	Is that what it's called?
	The tax revenues.
	Well, that may not be true because he had this story about what happened in the 2008 financial crisis, the Great Recession, Where, you know, a trillion dollars had to be spent on bailing out the banks.
	I think it was probably, in reality, more like eight or nine.
	I don't know.
	Who the hell knows?
	No one can tell me.
	And they had to pay it back.
	You remember, oh, we're paying it back.
	You remember that, right?
	Oh, we're paying it back.
	Every single penny.
	That's not exactly what happened, and this may explain a lot about what's going on in our world.
	That the government cannot use companies to do indirectly what the government can't do directly is something that echoes and reverberates today in ways that are really hard to see because we're designed to be hidden from seeing it.
	I talk a little bit about the book about one of the practices from the Obama administration, for example.
	I talk about the 08 financial crisis, right?
	Well, on the back of the 08 crisis, guess what?
	There were multi-billion dollar settlements with each of the banks.
	They were supposed to Pay it to the Fisk of the U.S. Treasury.
	Well, guess what?
	Not a lot of those dollars reached the U.S. Treasury, which is, by the way...
	I'm sorry?
	Do I have to guess?
	He keeps saying, guess what?
	I'd appreciate it if you could just forget how he speaks or whatever, but just listen to the information.
	I think you'll enjoy it more.
	Well, guess what?
	Not a lot of those dollars reached the U.S. Treasury, which is, by the way, what is the Fisk, the public Fisk that Americans each have a stake in.
	No.
	What happened was that the Obama administration had tried to get a lot of left-wing non-profits funded through Congress.
	The Republican-controlled Congress said no.
	Call it obstructionists, that's life in a two-party system.
	But they had a creative idea.
	They went in the other direction and they said, actually, organizations like the National Urban League or La Raza, they used the DOJ to say that we're actually going to settle with you, big banks, and we're going to say that if you give $1 to one of those organizations, we'll give you $2 Offset for how much you owe on this settlement to the U.S. government.
	And guess what?
	It makes for a much better press release to say you give a dollar to La Raza or the National Urban League than it does to give a dollar in a settlement fine to the DOJ. Oh, those are 501c3s, a fancy way of saying that's tax deductible.
	Oh, that's a nice benefit too.
	And by the way, you end up paying less money in the end.
	So the Obama administration wins, big government wins, the banks win, they pay less money, and being fond of money, that's actually a very good thing if you're a bank, but also get a great reputational benefit out of it, giving out to non-profits.
	And the permanent left-wing non-profit infrastructure becomes rich.
	Becomes rich, becomes permanent, becomes ossified, becomes legitimized, because the elites in the country are deciding that those are the places where they want to give money.
	But the real losers...
	Are quite literally, when I talk about the social justice scam, the real losers are quite literally the American people because the public fist ends up with less money in it.
	So even though they announce these multi-billion dollar settlements, that money doesn't actually end up with the American public where it was supposed to belong if the DOJ is bringing that case.
	They have no clue that's happening.
	You make a progressive declaration, blow woke smoke, and that's the smoke screen that makes the whole thing work like a magic trick, right?
	And if you're a magician, you walk beautiful women on stage, you blow smoke, flashing lights, distract people from the real trick.
	It is a magic trick for corporate America.
	Big government gets its back scratched.
	The people left holding the bag are the American people as we know it.
	That is the game that we're playing.
	We're seeing it with big tech censorship, pretending like these are private companies when in fact it's the puppet masters in the Biden administration that we hear now daily are pulling the strings.
	I had no idea that's what happened with the money.
	And it wouldn't surprise me if that happens all the time.
	So he says that the fines, a $500 million fine, goes where?
	So the Department of Justice says, we fined you, this is easy, billion dollars, but instead of paying it back to what he says is the FISC, which I guess is the general fund, he said the Department of Justice, started with Obama, said...
	You, instead of giving it to the FISC, give it to these non-governmental organizations and non-profits, the ones that we tried to fund, which the Republicans blocked.
	Give that money to them.
	We'll give you a two-for-one credit, and of course, they're 5013C, so it's also tax-deductible.
	That's a scandal of epic proportion.
	And why wouldn't you keep doing it?
	Hey, Facebook, you screwed up.
	Violation.
	Department of Justice can say, well, now let's give it to Black Lives Matter, Inc., Let's give it to the climate change NGOs, which, as he points out, legitimizes and solidifies this non-governmental layer of God knows what, man.
	The NGOs is what we should have done.
	What, you and me?
	For no agenda?
	Yeah.
	Oh, well.
	Well, now we know.
	Yeah.
	Whoa, man.
	And I can't believe that all this time, I've never heard of this.
	Well, I haven't either.
	We have to look into this.
	That's right!
	It's time!
	Once again, another script restarts.
	The IPCC report is out.
	The brand new one, getting ready for the big meeting, the 26th.
	I don't know if you have any clips, but I have a clip that's a little different.
	Well, can I start with a warning?
	Danger, everybody.
	Danger, danger, danger, danger.
	The headline, the headline of this report.
	Tonight, as California's second largest fire on record rages, a shocking new UN report warning the effects of climate change are getting worse, warming Earth at a faster rate than previously thought.
	It's indisputable that human activities are causing climate change.
	Like heat waves, droughts, and heavy rainfall, more frequent and severe.
	The UN Secretary General with that code red for humanity warning.
	More than 230 experts from 66 nations now urging a rapid reduction in greenhouse gases.
	They now predict the planet will rise an average of 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit by 2040.
	Less than 20 years from now and a decade before they initially believed.
	Bringing with that more heat waves, droughts and fires.
	Fires love a few things.
	They love heat.
	They love dry.
	They love wind.
	California's Dixie Fire now scorching nearly half a million acres.
	This fire has been burning for about a month, and it's still nowhere near contained.
	It is still ripping through this forest.
	Incinerating the town of Greenville last week.
	The surrounding areas still threatened.
	The air, difficult to breathe.
	Because of the multiple hazards, officials say it could be weeks before families are allowed to return.
	So it's code red for humanity.
	That is the takeaway.
	And before you play your clips, and I have a couple too, before you play yours, the top five takeaways from what's in the report.
	One, human influence has unequivocally warmed the planet.
	Two, climate science is getting better and more precise.
	Three...
	We are locked into 30 years of worsening climate impacts no matter what the world does.
	We've upped the 2 degrees to 3 degrees.
	That's our new goal.
	And it's no longer 2030.
	It's 2040.
	And just finally, climate changes are happening rapidly, and there's still a window in which humans can alter the climate path.
	I am hanging on by my fingernails.
	Well, my understanding is that that last thing you said is not in there.
	It's too bad.
	We're done.
	We're over.
	It's done.
	We're all dead.
	No, no.
	We can't do anything for the next 30 years.
	We're going to go through some harsh times, but if we do it by 2040, then we will save the planet.
	That's the way I read it.
	Well, I ran into this report, which is a little different way of putting the whole thing in perspective.
	And of course, it's done by not a professional news operation.
	Well, it's kind of a news operation, but it's the Heritage Foundation.
	They have their podcasts and they have a news podcast.
	And it's kind of interesting to listen to probably a sober...
	A sober report on the IPCC report.
	It starts off kind of normal.
	It starts off a little like Amy Goodman would go, but then it veers off in a way that nobody else goes.
	I'm sorry, I just have one question.
	Is there an Amy Goodman report?
	Is Amy Goodman in this report?
	No, this is a Heritage Foundation.
	They do their own news.
	I'm saying unlike Amy Goodman, where they go in one direction, these guys go in a slightly different direction to give you a little perspective.
	It's probably not acceptable to anybody except maybe you and me.
	The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has a new report out, and it's full of dire predictions.
	A summary of the report says climate change is irreversible and that humans have contributed to global warming.
	The summary also states, global surface temperature will continue to increase until at least the mid-century under all emission scenarios considered.
	Global warming of 1.5 degrees Celsius and 2 degrees Celsius will be exceeded during the 21st century unless deep reductions in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions occur in the coming decades.
	Many changes in the climate system become larger in direct relation to increasing global warming.
	They include increases in the frequency and intensity of hot extremes, marine heat waves, and heavy precipitation, agricultural and ecological droughts in some regions, and proportion of intense tropical cyclones, as well as reductions in Arctic sea ice, snow cover, and permafrost. as well as reductions in Arctic sea ice, snow cover, But Steve Malloy, founder of JunkScience.com, pointed out in a series of tweets that plenty of climate change predictions haven't happened.
	Malloy noted, 1987, James Hansen predicts global temp 3 to 4 degrees Celsius higher by 2020.
	2020, global temps only 0.44 degrees Celsius higher.
	And 2008, Mount Kilimanjaro snow to vanish by 2020.
	2020, only thing melted is the prediction.
	Oh my God, they could use a lot of help from the Curry-Dvorak Consulting Group on media production.
	Clearly they're not.
	But the point is that you could do this kind of reporting using that little twist at the end on all these reports, but nobody does it.
	That was good, yeah.
	I like that.
	We do it.
	Yeah?
	It was just a little zinger there, you mean like that?
	A little zinger?
	Just a little reality check on these bogus predictions.
	Well, someone sent me this link, which I had not heard of before, called extinctionclock.org.
	You should take a look at it.
	It has all the predictions.
	So, let's see.
	12 days ago, in fact.
	12 days, 14 hours, and 27 minutes should have happened.
	U.S. scientists sees new ice age coming.
	That did not happen.
	One year ago, actually 248 days, 9 hours, 32 minutes ago, crash course towards massive species extinction.
	Nina Faschione, Vice President for Field Conservation Programs at Defenders of Wildlife, quote, Frankly, it looks like we're on a crash course towards massive species extinction in the next 20 years.
	We could lose one-fifth or 20% of our species within the next two decades!
	And she did that on April 18, 2003.
	By the way, that prediction, and do you remember that era, it was around 2003, where all they talked about was species extinction, and they talked about it to an extreme, and they talked about it just all the time.
	And I'm always looking back on all this stuff and knowing that the media has been full of crap since back before the CIA took over, as I showed last show.
	Mm-hmm.
	It's almost as though they do these little trial balloons.
	Let's try this.
	Well, hold on, hold on, hold on.
	Let me read you another one before you trial a balloon.
	Uh, 224 days ago should have come true.
	From the MSNBC documentary Future Earth 2025, the quote, As water levels drop by 2017, Hoover Dam will no longer provide drinking water to Las Vegas, Tucson, and San Diego, and it stops generating electricity to Los Angeles, and if nothing is done, the reservoir will be a dry hole by 2021.
	Uh, That's now.
	Is it a dry hole?
	I don't think so.
	I'm just trying to keep my mouth shut because of all the stupid, stupid juvenile things that went through my head.
	Scientists say Earth's warming could set off wide disruptions.
	Three years left to stop climate change.
	That was 2017.
	End of Australian snow by 2020.
	Nope, they've had some snow.
	So that's a great little thing to look at.
	So no, they're full of crap and now we have the internet to show it.
	Will it make any difference?
	I don't know.
	No.
	But I do have three shorty clips from the man behind the scam.
	Michael Mann.
	Michael Mann is ground zero of this crap.
	Would you agree?
	I always thought it was Hanson.
	Well, but Mann is a good mouthpiece for this.
	And he was with George Stephanopoulos on ABC talking about the report.
	Dr.
	Mann, as we look around the world.
	And by the way, listen to how Stephanopoulos leads.
	He's almost like an NLP expert sometimes.
	I think he's doing a lot of these.
	Stephanopoulos in his interviewing style leads the witness most of the time.
	Dr.
	Mann, as we look around the world and we see this raging, not just in the West, but as we said in Greece and Turkey and other countries, we know that there are still a lot of skeptics out there who say, you can't tie this directly to climate change.
	You can't tie any single event to climate change.
	What do you say to that?
	Well, there's a report that's going to be coming out tomorrow, in fact.
	The next report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the IPCC. And this time, the report really connects the dots.
	The signal, as we call it, has emerged from the noise.
	We can see the impacts of climate change playing out now in real time on our television screens and in our newspaper headlines.
	Dangerous climate change has arrived, and at this point, it's a question of how bad we're willing to let it get.
	I didn't hear that until just now.
	Holy crap.
	Did you hear what he said?
	No, you were ringing a bell.
	I know.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	I didn't mean to...
	Listen.
	And this time, the report really connects the dots.
	The signal, as we call it, has emerged from the noise.
	We can see the impacts of climate change playing out now in real time on our television screens and in our newspaper headlines.
	Dangerous climate change has arrived, and at this point, it's a question of how bad we're willing to let it get.
	So we're not going to see it in the real world.
	No, you can't see it outside.
	You can't see it by the fact that I still have mudflats that are supposed to be underwater.
	You can't see it with your own lying eyes.
	You only see it on the TV screens and the news headlines.
	Thank you very much, media.
	Truth comes out, baby.
	He said it right there.
	You can see it on the TV and in the headlines.
	Don't look anywhere else.
	Don't look.
	Don't worry, though, it's not too late.
	Dr.
	Mann, is it too late?
	No, that's the good news.
	The bad news is dangerous climate change has arrived.
	The good news is we can prevent it from getting...
	I love that.
	Dangerous climate change has arrived.
	Hey!
	The good news is we can prevent it from getting worse.
	And the latest science tells us that if we bring our carbon emissions down to zero, the planet stops warming up.
	So look, there is a pledge on the part of the Biden administration to cut our emissions by a factor of two within the next decade.
	If we do that, and other countries around the world do that, we can prevent the planet from warming beyond a catastrophic three degree Fahrenheit level.
	And now it's three degrees.
	Remember it used to be two?
	It's changing the goalpost.
	Yeah, it's two degrees and we've got an extra ten years.
	So Sandy was wrong.
	Sandy Cortez, we're going to live to 2040.
	Final one from Michael Mann.
	Obviously, we're very, very pleased that we don't have to deal with the orange man bad.
	And Dr.
	Mann, how does the United States convince other countries to also go along?
	Of course, we were an outlier during the Trump administration.
	What more can President Biden do at this point to get the world to coalesce around this issue?
	Yeah, it's about leadership.
	And look, there has been a restoration of leadership here now on the part of the United States.
	The Biden administration has made a bold pledge to cut our emissions in half within the next decade.
	And other countries now are coming to the table.
	We've now reengaged China, and they have agreed to prioritize action on climate.
	Changing leadership here in the United States changes the picture worldwide.
	And so there's reason for cautious optimism later this year when the leaders of the world meet in Glasgow at the next major climate conference.
	There's reason to believe we will get the sorts of commitments that are necessary to get us on a path that limits warming below catastrophic levels.
	Let's hope we can get there.
	I can't wait for all the dots to be connected to COVID. That's going to be some interpretation of this report.
	Let's see how they do it.
	Because that will lead us to the lockdowns for climate.
	Well, they're not going to...
	My opinion.
	They're not going to pull that off.
	I know they'd love to, but they're going to be able to maybe connect some dots to COVID and make some claims, but they're not going to lock people down for climate.
	Should I tell you what the only way that I know they could do it, they have to be a little more honest, but if they wanted to?
	There's a lot of evidence that shows that the people in Wuhan, that their symptoms were exacerbated by the pollution, and that pollution seems to be a major factor in the COVID severity.
	They're bringing that in a little late.
	Right.
	Well, it was probably about a year ago that we saw the pictures of Wuhan.
	Look, all the pollution's gone.
	But they haven't really connected that dot to COVID. But maybe.
	I'm just giving them free consulting advice.
	I know what you're trying to do.
	You're trying to get a gig.
	Trying to get a gig on this thing, baby.
	They're not going to pull this off.
	I mean, they try and try, and it's just not working.
	I mean...
	There's a certain percentage of the public that just buys into every stupid thing these guys come up with, and that's fine.
	That's 20% of the public, perhaps.
	People who have lost religion, mainly.
	Probably about 80% of the people around the Berkeley area.
	There's probably nobody in Texas buying any of it.
	No.
	Austin, possibly.
	Austin is not Texas.
	Just as a quick aside, All of a sudden, everyone's up in arms.
	Oh, the Biden administration was begging OPEC to produce more oil to get the oil price lower.
	Look at him.
	He has his foot on the neck of the gas and oil industry.
	We should be doing that, our own oil.
	And then you go, look, so we used to be doing, I think, 13 million barrels a day.
	Now we're down to 11.5.
	And the reason why is, sure, it's because there's uncertainty and it's a little more difficult to spin up these fracking operations.
	So they're not investing.
	They're sitting on the sidelines saying, well, we're probably going to get screwed by Biden.
	So it's a little disingenuous.
	It's not like there's actual regulations stopping them from doing it, but they're afraid to because they think regulation's coming.
	That's the approach I take.
	Well, yeah.
	But I'm just saying, oh, this is crazy, Biden won't let Americans do it.
	That's not true.
	They're allowed to do it, they just don't want to because they see it might not be profitable.
	As with all these issues.
	It's okay.
	Texas will get blamed.
	Our grid will go down.
	We don't know how to do it.
	We're stupid.
	And Florida.
	We're stupid numbnuts.
	Throw Arizona in there.
	No power for you!
	I'm gonna show myself all by donating to no agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Bring in the windmills.
	And the solar panels.
	I should interrupt myself and mention, although we have a few people to thank, that I got a call.
	I do surveys, and I've taken a lot of surveys, and people say, oh, I've never been called.
	I get called all the time.
	I get called about once every five times a year.
	Once during every show.
	I get called.
	I get called by the surveyors.
	I like to answer the surveys because I like to figure out what it is they're surveying and what they're really after.
	Mm-hmm.
	So the latest thing they're trying to do is take, there's a bunch of, according to the survey, there's a bunch of abandoned drilling towers off the Santa Barbara, Santa Monica area in the Southern California.
	And there's all kinds of lawsuits about these things and the oil companies want to just tear them out and get rid of them and...
	And there's a big push to turning them into wind farms.
	Oh, yeah.
	And I just thought that's an interesting repurposing of these old, crazy old devices.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	Well, you know, it's a lot of noise.
	It's expensive.
	Maintenance.
	I looked into it for my own home.
	About a 100-foot tower and $250,000.
	You're good to go, Mr.
	Curry.
	Yeah, I don't think so.
	Yeah, doesn't seem right.
	No.
	All right, let's start helping us.
	Thanking a few people for supporting the show.
	13th or what is it?
	72th.
	72.
	Starting with Sir Dodger of Panhandle.
	And maybe he's either in Panhandle, Florida or Panhandle, Texas.
	1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
	And he's got a knighting.
	I guess you should read this note.
	Yes.
	Actually, it's a title change.
	Dame Misty and I, Sir Dodger of Panhandle, have decided to move permanently to upstate Vermont.
	I would like to change my title to Sir Dodger of the Northeast Kingdom.
	Value for value to the best podcast in the universe, of course.
	We will change that title for you.
	And then we have Kelly Conway, not Kellyanne, but Kelly, in Sayville, New York, 111.
	I don't know if there's anything in here we need to read.
	I'll stop you if there is.
	Pete Federici, 111.
	Veronica Rocky Moxery.
	Veronica Rocky Moxery in Oslo, Sweden.
	Oslo, Sweden?
	Isn't Oslo in Norway?
	Oh, no, she's stuck.
	Here it is.
	Please...
	Okay.
	Let's check it out.
	I'll read this.
	Please dedouche me.
	You've been dedouched.
	I'm a...
	I'm a smokin' hot Swede stuck in Norway for way too long.
	You keep me saying thank you in the morning.
	Veronica Rocky Moxery.
	Smoking hot sweet.
	SHS. Smoking hot sweet.

	Rob Van Dyke, a rob, sorry, sir, $100.
	Anonymous in Hollis, New Hampshire, $100.
	Josh Clines in Highland, Michigan, $81.20.
	He's got his wife Jillian on the list.
	Sir Kevin McLaughlin, Duke of Luna, lover of America and boobs.
	I'm sorry.
	For Josh's birthday, I think I have to do this.
	Jillian turns 39 today.
	Adam, if you can, in your most sultry voice, which I will do now, say, Jillian, please forgive Josh for last Thursday.
	We'll do anything for donations on this show.
	What did he do?
	I don't know.
	It was only $81.20 worth of bad Let me slipstream in Michael Zavala, who gave a check at the No Agenda Meetup in Healdsburg of 100.
	Yes, then we have Tom Fisher from St.
	Paul, Minnesota, with a boob donation, 8008, and this brings him to knighthood, and he requests Bratwurst and Burning Brothers Midway Lager at the round table, and several people have said that we're mispronouncing Bratwurst, Brat is how it's pronounced, not Brat.
	But thank you.
	I got a number of notes from the bratwurst.
	I know how to pronounce it correctly.
	Me too.
	When I started saying brat, I'm not sure.
	But I know how to pronounce it correctly.
	I kind of like brat, though.
	Brat.
	Brat.
	I have some brats.
	Well, people had a lot to say about it.
	Bratwurst.
	Ja, ich kann Deutsch sprechen.
	For years, I've enjoyed your analysis of the mainstream media and sanity.
	It's been especially helpful during this COVID fiasco.
	Learning the ability to deconstruct news has been immensely helpful.
	I did catch something in the last episode.
	It was a clip from Michael Chicken Little Osterholm in which he stated that we have state fairs that are about to be held that will bring in 2 million people to various locations.
	Well, there are only two state fairs that meet this criteria, Minnesota and Texas.
	He's pissed that his fear-mongering didn't cancel the Minnesota state fair for the second year in a row.
	Maybe he's pouting that he isn't part of President Harris' administration or that the Minnesota state legislator took away the governor's emergency powers and he no longer has a say in government.
	Whatever.
	Thank you all for the work.
	I hope you never find an exit strategy.
	No jingles, but in celebration of being...
	Four years cancer-free.
	F cancer for anyone who needs it.
	F cancer karma.
	Love and Lit.
	Tom from St.

	George Wushit, who is, I think, Sir George.
	I believe so, too.
	Wendy Brahman in Saginaw, Michigan, and that's it.
	Wendy's the last one.
	So those are our producers for show 1373.
	Two.
	And stepping back to Catherine Moore, who sent $75, says, keep it coming.
	I'm here for the truth.
	Keep it coming.
	As a mother of a vaccine-injured child, the amount of media blackballing we in our community...
	She says, haha, community, have received over the years makes us primed and ready for the current climate.
	Yeah, it's hard, man.
	You want to go out there and be a mother?
	That's how Robert Kennedy got involved, Jr., The mothers kept coming up to him about the mercury and the vaccines or whatever was going on.
	And so they've just been fucking marginalized.
	Marginalized.
	It's crazy.
	Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy big pharma.
	Also, karma for Sir Chris Wilson's mom, who had a stroke.
	So she's not doing too well.
	I'm sure nothing is fun in lockdown Australia.
	And I think there was a jobs karma and F cancer karma.
	So let me do a whole bunch of these right now.
	Ah!
	You've got karma.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

	I think it's Phil.
	I want to say Philip.

	Did you see the pictures of this meetup by any chance?
	I think this was the one.
	No, I did not, as a matter of fact.
	They had printed out, they had our heads on a stick, which is almost a requirement for every meetup.
	But the sticks had shoulders and we had shirts on and we looked like, you know, it wasn't just a cartoon head.
	It was a black and white printout of our face.
	And, you know, so we were standing in the crowd.
	It looks like we were actually there.
	It was uncanny how real it looked.
	It was a deep fake of epic proportion.
	Guess you didn't see it.
	No.
	Here's what's coming up for your meetups.
	Today, starting at 6.30 Mountain Time, City Park, Denver Museum of Nature Science is the Dog Days of Denver Dissonant Meetup.

	It's easy, and it's like a party.
	Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
	You want to be where you want me.
	Triggered on hell's lame.
	You want to be where everybody feels the same.
	It's like a party.
	Boop-a-doo.
	Got any ISOs for...
	By the way...
	No, but I do want to mention, I forgot to mention Lavash.
	Lavash.
	I was one of the members of the Healdsburg meetup.
	And I sent a short note saying they were great.
	Oh, that's nice.
	Nice to know.
	Thank you, Lavash.
	So you have no ISOs?
	I do.
	I have an ISO. Oh, good, good.
	This has become a thing now.
	People are like, I got the best ISOs!
	Yeah, you know, I should discourage people from sending us ISOs that they think are good.
	We try to get these ISOs from doing our research.
	We're listening to a lot of clips.
	We pull ISOs.
	There were a couple.
	I'm just bringing out some crazy ISO because, you know, Joe Biden said something and you make an ISO out of it.
	We never heard it.
	I'm not happy with these ISOs.
	Most of them aren't very good.
	Send them to me.
	I'll go through.
	Don't send them to John.
	Send them all to Adam.
	Please.
	There you go.
	Adam at Curry.com.
	All right.
	Okay, ISO, I've got saving.
	Okay, hold on.
	I can see from the waveform it needs a little boost.
	Let me jack it up.
	Alright, here we go.
	The focus should be on saving lives.
	The focus should be on saving lives.
	She says it so well.
	Even that flip at the end is not that.
	I like that.
	That's good.
	Got any more?
	No, that's all I got.
	Oh, I have two.
	Ted K was right.
	I like that one personally.
	What was it?
	I didn't hear it.
	Ted K was right.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, if you didn't hear it, then it didn't work.
	And I have this one.
	The ultimate endgame of all this is vaccination.
	Nah, it's too long.
	Alright, we'll do saving.
	We can do saving.
	Alright.
	Still need to jack it up a little more.
	Did you record that one?
	I got it from the NPR. Oh, okay.
	Yeah, those are low in general.
	Let me see.
	What else do we have?
	I had...
	Well, I've got...
	At least we can keep up with the...
	We got the...
	You got anything on Afghanistan or nothing?
	No, I got a thing that happened in the Middle East and one of the...
	Outside of Iran, I guess they're attacking ships with cheap drones that have got a bomb on them.
	Oh, cool.
	Blinken came out and blink, blink, blinked his way through this ship attack.
	Oh, I want to hear this.
	I want to take a moment to address a few urgent matters.
	First, I want to condemn again.
	Okay, stop.
	Stop the clip.
	Clip stop.
	I realize that Blinken is part of the same milieu that Obama comes from.
	I'm going to call it the Obama milieu because you played a clip earlier that had this.
	The funny way of speaking where you stop and pause and just imagine Obama with his more mellifluous voice than Blinken.
	And the cadence is...
	There's a cadence to Obama.
	And this is...
	Blinken has it.
	You'll hear it.
	I want to take a moment to address a few...
	Just there.
	I want to take a moment to address just a few of the things.
	It's not who we are!
	Urgent matters.
	First...
	I want to condemn again the attack on Friday against the commercial ship the Mercer Street, which was peacefully transiting through the north of the Caribbean Sea in international waters when it was targeted by a drone laden with explosives, killing two people.
	We've conducted a thorough review, and we're confident that Iran carried out this attack.
	It follows a pattern of similar attacks by Iran, including past incidents with explosive drones.
	There is no justification for this attack on a peaceful vessel on a commercial mission in international waters.
	Iran's action is a direct threat to freedom of navigation and commerce.
	It took the lives of innocent sailors.
	We're currently coordinating with our partners and consulting with governments in the region.
	And we join others around the world in sending our deepest condolences to the families of the British and Romanian crew members who were killed.
	Who else are we negotiating with, quote, in the region?
	Djibouti?
	No idea.
	Iraq?
	He just throws this thing out there, gives us information, doesn't tell us anything.
	So these were kamikaze drones?
	Like mid-level sized drones with C4 on it or something?
	No, probably nothing that advanced.
	Just a stick of dynamite maybe.
	It has to be light.
	C4 could do some damage.
	He said right in the beginning, he's like, peaceful ship, peaceful.
	What was on the ship?
	Has anyone said anything about this?
	Iran?
	You know as much as I do.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Well, it's good to look into it.
	That's nuts.
	I have also one clip on the...
	I thought this was interesting.
	This was the...
	A commission...
	There's a commission that was put together, a 1776 commission put together by Trump to just develop a bunch of curriculum and information and speeches and all the rest for the upcoming 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
	Mm-hmm.
	And as soon as Biden got in, he canceled the whole thing because he doesn't care.
	He was 1609.
	No, 1619.
	The 1619 Project.
	1619.
	So here, I thought this was a good little story about how much these people hate the country.
	The director of the 1776 Commission, not knowing quite what to make of that and what would happen with it, but we had a crazy idea, which turns out to be one of the reasons why I think everyone was surprised on both sides of the aisle about what which turns out to be one of the reasons why I think everyone was surprised on both sides of the aisle about what it did, which is to say I went over with the agreement that I would
	And so in a matter of about five or six weeks, we produced a report that was supposed to be the first of perhaps several.
	It was a two-year commission to advise the president about getting ready for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
	I approached it as a scholar, someone who wanted to write a public document advocating and putting a marker down in this discussion about what is 1776 and what does it mean.
	It came out on Martin Luther King Day in 2021 and two days later when the new president was inaugurated.
	One of his first acts within hours of being inaugurated, he abolished the commission.
	Even before he abolished it, it was taken down immediately from the White House website and erased, if you will.
	To which our response is, well, you can't erase our history.
	It's still there.
	So what I handed Rob here was a printed edition of the report.
	The report came out and it's available everywhere.
	I think Heritage has it on their website, Hillsdale.
	They made it into much more public document by trying to erase it.
	It actually helped.
	It brought it more attention.
	It's called the Streisand effect.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	The only thing we missed today, but there's really nothing to do about it because we deconstruct media and then the media is not talking about it.
	The only media reporting on it, and it's an exclusive for them, is the Daily Mail.
	And this is yet another awesome video from Hunter Biden, this time with a woman who they immediately identify as a hooker, as a prostitute.
	There's no evidence in the video that I can see, but alright.
	And he's talking about the time when...
	Did you see this video at all with Hunter?
	I did not, no.
	Oh my god.
	So it's impossible to play it on the show.
	It only really works with the subtitles.
	So this guy is such a creep that what he would do is he'd open up his Mac, his laptop, whenever he was having crazy sex.
	We know this because we've seen several of these videos.
	And for some reason he liked having documentation of that.
	He likes recording himself having sex and smoking meth or whatever drugs he's doing.
	And so this is one of those.
	So this is, I think, from the original laptop.
	And on this, he says, oh man, it was horrible because I was going on a bender, I think he said, in Las Vegas.
	And there was a Russian hooker and two guys were there.
	One was the drug dealer.
	And I almost died.
	I passed out in the hot tub.
	And I came to and I lived and I think they stole my laptop.
	And the inference there is that the Russians now have...
	Yet another one of Hunter Biden's laptops.
	How many laptops does this guy have?
	But it's, I mean, just imagine if any politician's son or daughter anywhere in the world had this, I mean, you can see him and the woman butt naked on the bed talking, smoking from a pipe.
	This would be a scandal of epic proportion, and this one story by itself shows you that they're all full of crap.
	This is a career ending.
	You'd think.
	He's even in there saying, I make gazillions of dollars.
	Whatever.
	Gazillion.
	Anyway.
	There you go.
	That's your media.
	Yeah, it's pretty pathetic.
	I wish they would do some reporting.
	We could at least do something with it, but it's not even a clip.
	No, no, no.
	Not even a clip.
	Not even a clip.
	You're playing in the Republican hands.
	Yeah, that's right.
	The Republicans want you to do the reporting.
	Russian disinformation.
	We're not going to do it.
	I know.
	All right.
	He's a good kid.
	He's a good kid.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I'm so proud of him.
	I love my son.
	All right, everybody.
