Yeah, the way it was and what we're supposed to do was not quite the way it worked out.
Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's Sunday, August 29th, 2021.
This is your award-winning Get My Nation Media assassination episode 1377.
This is No Agenda.
We're number three in Spa and broadcasting live from the capital of the crime-ridden country of the Netherlands in Amsterdam, Gitmo Nation Lowlands in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where there's going to be a strike on August 31st, I'm John C. Devorak.
It's Crackbot and Buzzkill in the morning.
A California strike?
No, a nationwide truck strike.
Oh, man.
They're doing that over in Australia, too?
They're talking about it in the Netherlands?
Everyone's doing this.
This could be a worldwide strike.
Oh, that must be some sort of communist thing.
Let's listen to it.
On August 31st, a bunch of us are going to shut our trucks down.
It's not about the trucking industry anymore, folks.
It's about medical freedoms.
The freedom to choose.
We have doctors, nurses, healthcare workers, teachers, military, people quitting in mass numbers.
Healthcare workers that have...
I've literally saved lives.
The military who's actually defended our lives and some have paid the ultimate sacrifice.
When I say it's not about the trucking industry, I mean it's not about the trucking industry.
We just have the power to shut the country down and bring awareness of what's going on, help them save their careers.
It's time to help them, folks.
So stand up.
Stand up for our fellow Americans.
Remember, we have a freedom of choice.
Government has no right to mandate anything on us.
Oh man, talking at the heartstrings there with this one.
God, the music.
No, I've seen Australian truckies, as they call them there, the truckies.
Truckies are going to block.
They said exactly the same thing.
We can shut the country down.
We're going to shut it down and tell them what we want.
They're not shutting down anything.
For one thing, this is the most under-suppressed story of the day.
Mainstream media is not discussing it.
Half the people don't even know what's going on.
I'm just talking about Australia.
I'm telling you about Australia.
I didn't know about the U.S. You're right.
I didn't hear about it.
I've only heard about Australia.
You're not going to hear about it.
Probably not.
But you don't know.
I mean, we have the networks.
Even if they go on strike, you won't hear about it.
If the country is shut down for a day, you won't hear about it.
That's how bad our media is.
Now, this is so true.
And I have been sitting in the hotel room all day watching all of the different news channels from all the different countries.
By the way, TRT, Turkish television, most interesting of all.
And they don't repeat...
They really have a lot more in-depth reporting.
Did you know that Macron was hanging out in Iraq?
No, of course you did.
Oh, you did?
Okay.
Did you see that blob of hair on his head, by the way, as a little aside?
He's got something really weird going in the front.
Something's wrong with him.
Yes, no.
Yes, no.
Yes, no is different than yeah, no.
True.
Yes, no.
No, I was watching France 24 and Macron was all over the place, moaning and groaning about how we're staying in Iraq.
Yeah.
And then you got Erdogan, of course, is TRT, so that's Turkish television.
He was showing off a new drone today while he's meeting with German representatives.
There's a lot of interesting stuff going on.
I'll have to get a feed from it.
I can do that.
Oh, TRT is really, really interesting.
But your point is valid.
I mean, not only...
I mean, all the protests taking place, still in France, London again yesterday, nothing.
Not a peep, not on any one of these channels, not on RT, not on TRT. There was on France 24.
Oh, I didn't see it on France 24.
And they mentioned the protest.
They mentioned it.
I got a kick out of the numbers.
It said a minimum of 124,000 people in Paris were protesting.
And I'm thinking, well, how did they, like CBS and all these guys say, well, there's a protest, but that doesn't mean anything.
With that number, I mean, because meanwhile, in this country, they're going on and on about the voting rights protest that...
L Sharpton and a bunch of other people put together for last week, this last, I think it was yesterday, Saturday.
Yeah.
For the voting rights thing.
And they maxed out at about 20,000, maybe.
And they're, oh, look at this.
Oh, yes.
Everybody wants voting rights.
I'll paraphrase the coverage here.
If it was mentioned at all, you saw like a little shot and be like, well, Americans are protesting the racist voting laws.
Pretty much all that there was said.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Yeah.
Now, the big news here.
And what we've been waiting for all day, doesn't look like it's going to happen, the Formula One Grand Prix in Belgium, in Spa, Max Verstappen, the Dutch driver, number 33, on pole position, they've been waiting for four hours.
Number 33.
Yes, it's rained out.
They're rained out.
It's a big problem.
They can't drive.
So the Dutch, they don't care.
I don't see why not.
They don't care about anything, the Dutch.
They just want Max Verstappen to win.
That's all they care about.
Hey, it's raining, so what?
Get in the car and drive.
Exactly.
You just have to be a little more careful.
And a lot of talk here, of course, about Hurricane Ida, and that is being linked to climate change everywhere.
Curiously, it's not being linked to climate change here so much.
Here, let me, um, well, I have a clip.
You got a clip?
Yeah?
Yeah, I think so.
Um, Pretty sure I do.
Where are you, Ida?
Ida.
Hurricane.
It's misspelled.
Just look for the clip that looks like it might be spelled hurricane.
Hurricane Ida is expected to rapidly intensify over the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico in the coming hours.
NPR's Debbie Elliott reports it's on a path to strike the coast of Louisiana Sunday as a powerful Category 4 hurricane.
With anticipated winds of up to 170 miles per hour, Hurricane Ida could cut a destructive path through southeast Louisiana.
10 to 15 foot storm surge and flooding rains are also a danger.
All of that is now complicated by the coronavirus pandemic.
Louisiana State Health Officer Joe Cantor says the state is experiencing high levels of COVID transmission.
There's still a lot of risk out there.
The storm is not the only risk out there.
COVID increases the risk.
Please take stock of that.
Please incorporate that into your hurricane plans.
He's urging people to avoid emergency rooms if possible because hospitals are already over capacity with record numbers of COVID patients.
Wait, didn't they tell you you have to get a vaccine to prepare?
No, that's just Biden.
I mean, they almost did, but they didn't quite.
But they're tie-in.
They can only do one tie-in.
And so they decide the tie-in is going to continue to be vaccination or COVID instead of climate change.
They could have waltzed that right to climate change, and they never did it.
That's NPR. Oh, big mistake, I'd say.
Who's running the ship?
No, I don't think it's a big mistake.
I think they still want to promote COVID more than they want to promote climate change.
They figured they can always make that switch.
Yeah, that's not happening here at all still.
Very, very little COVID talk.
However, Bloomberg announced today that the Netherlands is number two in the world on COVID resilience.
I don't even know why I want to leave now.
COVID resilience.
What does that mean?
It's unclear.
It's the best and the worst places to be in 2021.
So who fared better?
And of course, Denmark.
You know, Denmark's always better.
Denmark is the best.
Always better than everybody.
It's because they're all drugged out.
No one ever wants to leave.
The more psychotropic antidepressants are used in Denmark than anywhere else.
I'm paraphrasing my research.
For the Danes.
It's probably true.
And it would be per capita.
There is something true about it, I remember.
So what I'm getting from RT, France 24, and what's the other one?
Euronews.
On a continuous loop, it's the human interest stories of Afghanistan are off the hook.
It's just anything we can do to tug at the heart.
Here, how a ragtag group helped evacuate Afghanistan national women's football team from the country.
And then this one, every channel has this report.
It's a fresh start for a group of trailblazers.
Five members of an all-girls robotics team from Afghanistan have been welcomed to Mexico.
So you are under protection.
This is the music.
The Taliban have been fleeing the country since the Taliban seized control of the government upon the withdrawal of U.S. and allied troops.
The team, made up of women and girls as young as 14, has won international awards for its work.
Despite the Taliban saying it would not ban girls from going to school and women from working, members of the team sought refuge in other countries.
The Mexican government says it was happy to receive them.
So this has been a story.
Everyone's covering it, and the girls are doing interviews.
And let me go look at this group of girls.
They've been in the news going back to 2017 when it was being used to talk about hope in Afghanistan.
This is just last year known for competing in major robotics competitions like the 2017 worldwide first global robotic Olympics in United States.
The Afghan girls robotics team in Herat, Afghanistan is busy designing something completely different.
Much needed ventilators during the coronavirus pandemic.
Hospitals and medical institutions across the field are seeing severe shortages of ventilators.
So this is...
You have to stop and give yourself a borderline clip of the day.
That's unbelievable.
It was an old clip which makes it even more fun.
No, it's like whenever we need to do something of a human interest story in Afghanistan.
And by the way, it's Afghanistan.
Everyone pronounces it Afghanistan.
So let's make sure we say it right.
Whenever there's this human interest, let's bring these girls back.
They're probably all married and living in Florida by now.
They're old maids.
Who knows?
Robotics.
It's all the same footage.
And there's no new footage from Kabul.
Yeah, just endless loops.
You know, I like the one, my favorite clip is the one they play over and over and over again, which is the big C-130 or whatever it is going down the runway with the guys running alongside.
And the guy throws his arms up in the air and waves.
He's laughing and then cheering.
I know.
And they keep showing it.
It's that clip I have seen at least 50 times now.
And then the one where the back of the plane is open.
They're all waiting to, you know, up the ramp.
We've seen that one 100.
It's all the same footage over and over again.
It's become B-roll.
Yeah, but it's international.
They're all using the same stuff.
So it's really bizarre.
And just looking at Afghanistan from a perspective of what's really happening, who's popping up, a couple of names.
First, Rita Katz is back.
Do we remember our friend Rita Katz?
Yeah, your buddy.
From Sight Intelligence.
She's the one that would always be first.
Oh, look!
They have another video of prisoners in orange jumpsuits and they're going to light them on fire and they're going to cut their heads off.
That was Rita Katz.
And now she's back in the news.
Headline, Amazon Web Services disables ISIS propaganda website.
It had been hosting since April.
And so Rita hunted this down.
The source code for the website, Rita Katz said, shows it draws words and images from a website for the Islamic State propaganda arm.
You see, the hells have a propaganda arm, not just a PR arm.
That website, whose content is password protected, could not be directly reviewed by the Washington Post.
Was she writing for the Washington Post?
No, I think the Washington Post reported on it.
Who knows who she's writing for, but it's just interesting that she pops back up.
And another name, as I went back and started looking at this deal that happened during Trump.
Imagine my surprise when I see Zalmay Khalilzad pop up.
We know Zalmay Kalazat.
He goes back to before the 1980s with Brzezinski.
The guy's 70.
He did the 2018 negotiations in Doha with the Taliban.
And I think, you know, again, Trump really good at firing, but I don't know how he got cajoled into getting this guy to do it, to do the negotiations.
He had a lot of losers.
I don't want to take away from your direction, but I will mention it this morning on Meet the Press.
They had H.R. McMaster on going on and on about one thing or another, and they're grilling these guys, and they're doing a pretty good job because somehow these little weenies that run these shows like Chip Todd, he's going after the guy.
And McMaster, I never realized, because his background is like this high-end, he looks like an intellectual, and then you hear him, he sounds like some street tough.
Hey, yeah, the way it was and what we're supposed to do was not quite the way it worked out.
And it's just like, what is this guy?
He's from Central Casting.
And it's just, yeah.
And McMaster's another one of these guys that Trump hired.
He was his national security advisor.
So, Zalmay Kalazat, in 79, 80, he was the one that worked on Operation Cyclone, which was, you know, 10 years of the Russians, the Red Army, and they also, you know, installed Osama bin Laden.
Then in the 80s, you know, so now we already had a full-blown things going on.
Afghanistan, 88.
Khal Azat became the State Department's special advisor under George Bush Sr., Then he worked with Wolfowitz as assistant deputy undersecretary of defense, where he came up with the Bush doctrine, the Bush Jr.
doctrine, you know, the preventative wars.
So this is all this guy.
I don't understand.
But then here's the kicker.
Pompeo's the one who hand-selected a Mr.
CIA and set it all up.
And the whole point was to get the Baradar guy out so that he could lead the talks.
They did all this in Qatar and in Doha.
No matter what you think, at a certain point, if we just, on the face of it, look at this new Taliban who know how to keep their finger off the trigger.
They've got a head guy that was there during the actual negotiations.
They have the PR. They've got all these things happening.
Then we have a common enemy in ISIS-K, who I'm just going to call ISIS-K-Street.
Thank you.
I worked on that one.
You must have been proud of yourself when you came up with that one.
It came to me last night as I was about to fall asleep.
I got one.
I got one.
And it kind of looks like a lot of this was at least closing the air base before doing anything.
That's an intentional move.
There's no doubt about it.
And the military knows it.
They know they got a sucker.
I have a series of clips specifically about...
Let me play one for you.
I'll kick you off.
Wait, before you just tell me you're going to do that, I just want to tell you what it is.
It's a series of clips, and I hate to start it the way I do, but it's a series of clips about shutting down the...
Bagram Air Force Base, which is a disgusting joke.
But in the process, I will mention this morning, I'm looking at these...
Afghanistan has air bases and airports all over the place.
It looks like just scammish air bases that we built, including, I think it was the Kandahar base, which is the...
If you take an overhead picture of it, it's like, what is this thing?
It's a monster.
Yeah, it's not the...
And it was taken over by the Taliban, but it looks like something you'd see in St.
Louis, a very modern, not St.
Louis, but something you'd see in China.
Very modern, but then they overbuilt it, so there's all kinds of weird stuff on it.
And you take a look at these photos of all this wasted money, that's where all the money went.
We're building things left and right over there, as somebody pointed out, just so these cronies could make quick bucks.
Oh, no doubt about it.
And all this leaving stuff behind, and we'll listen to your clips.
There's all reasons for that.
Besides the fact that if you don't bring it back home the next time you need it, you need to build and buy new stuff.
Hello, military industrial complex.
I want to mention something else again, which is, we haven't pointed out on the show, I've been meaning to.
Has anyone noticed that the Taliban...
Mostly, they're not driving around the Toyotas with the machine gun in the back.
They're driving Humvees.
And there's so many of these Humvees that the Taliban are driving around.
What is going on?
And no one has pointed this out on the mainstream media.
Actually...
Then before we do anything, let me play this.
There were a couple of Republicans who, of course, everyone's making hay out of this.
Everybody is, it's all political now, and that's your cue that, you know, something else is going on.
Here's 10 seconds, mini, mini supercut, a mini cut of a bunch of Republicans.
The blood is on Joe Biden's hands.
The blood of Americans are now on his hands.
That blood is and will be on Joe Biden's hands, and this Congress will hold him accountable.
That's right.
Blood is on Biden's hands.
And this is Jim Banks, Republican from Indiana.
Check it out.
Because of the negligence of this administration and the hasty retreat that they led out of Afghanistan, they have left $85 billion worth of American equipment in the hands of our enemy, the Taliban.
75,000 vehicles, over 200 airplanes and helicopters, over 600,000 small arms and light weapons.
The Taliban now has more Black Hawk helicopters than 85% of the countries in the world.
But it's not just weapons.
They have night vision goggles, body armor.
And, unbelievably, the Taliban now has biometric devices, which have the fingerprints, eye scans, and biographical information of all of the Afghans who helped us and were on our side over the last 20 years.
There is no plan by this administration to get those weapons back.
There is no plan to account for any of this equipment or these weapons.
Let me be very clear.
If any American is harmed, injured, or killed and not safely evacuated out of Afghanistan, Or, if any of these weapons or this military equipment is used to harm, injure, or kill an American now or at any time in the future, the blood is on Joe Biden's hands.
There we go.
He got it out.
Thank goodness.
He took forever.
And we did get a boots-on-the-ground report from one of our producers, anonymous Army officers with knowledge of the situation, who says, please, remember, we did the same thing back in 2016 with ISIS, left all of our gear there.
The show remembers.
But of course we didn't really get caught.
It wasn't the big talking point for whatever reason.
And he adds that any other equipment is probably, you know, packed with Stuxnet-like viruses and would be more interesting to have it actually fall into the hands of the Taliban.
But I think this is not our enemy.
I believe that's true.
This is a CIA operation.
We're working together with them.
I'm not sure what the exact terms of the deal are.
But those guys, the new Taliban...
That's our guys.
We installed that.
We're running them.
And God knows what ISIS-K is doing.
But this is a very, very sinister, sad, cynical joke they're playing.
Because people died.
And all the State Department people are gone.
I've got people texting me.
They're looking for Dutch.
There's a lot of Dutch still there.
There's also Germans.
The French are still there.
Everyone's still there trying to get people out.
Everyone's gone.
State Department, gone, gone, gone, all gone.
No one's there to help any other personnel if they want to get out with U.S. assistance.
I don't have a clip of this, but it was on Tucker.
Glenn Beck is part of some group that's trying to get people out of the country and using private aircraft.
Mm-hmm.
In fact, using the aircraft from some ministry that is, I can't remember this guy's name, but he's a famous hard-sell, I think, Baptist evangelist, and he's got two or three of these 730s or 757s, I think.
Mm-hmm.
And so they're using these jets.
And Beck was...
I really should go back and try to find this clip.
Beck was moaning and groaning about it.
Every time they get anywhere to try to get these guys to move them some more, the State Department gets in the way.
He says the State Department has been doing everything it can to prevent him and this group from doing anything.
Yeah.
Which makes it...
This thing is really...
You're right.
This is something very fishy about this entire thing.
Yes.
Yes.
Absolutely.
And I don't think it's to, you know, they're not going to play it up to have ISIS. You know what?
Screw it.
It's just a reset.
What are we thinking?
It's just going back.
It's going back to where it was.
We're going to have some dumb, dumb ass terror attacks in the U.S. These people don't know any better.
This is, this is the, this is this administration, whoever's running it, it's the same people.
They really do.
Yeah.
They don't have any other playbook.
No, so they're just going to kill people.
We're going back to terrorism 2.0.
Yes, with Al-Qaeda 3.0.
And they even had to reintroduce ISIS. These guys have nothing to do with ISIS. By the way, it's ISK now here.
So now they've changed it yet again.
ISK. ISK. ISK. ISK. ISK. It's crazy.
And so the people on television, the talking heads, they slide, well, of course, ISIS-K, and we know ISIS-K, and we had all this ISIS-K. I do this for a living.
You do this for a living.
We never heard about ISIS-K. I haven't heard about ISIS-K until they dropped the bomb.
But then check this.
Until some guy blew up.
And we talked about this after the show.
We should mention it now.
What country is really the promoter of a human...
Yes, yes.
Suicide bombers.
Suicide bombers.
That is Hamas and Hezbollah, and it all goes back to Iran.
The Iranians are the only people that seem to promote suicide bombers.
Nobody else does.
ISIS wasn't doing suicide bombs when they were taking over the place up north before Trump came along and screwed up whatever the model was supposed to be.
Nobody else does them except the Iranians.
So ISIS-K, unlike ISIS, seems to have, I have to say, some connection to Iran, and nobody wants to discuss this.
Well, it just so happens I visited my buddy Lex, and his wife Fariba, as you know, is Iranian.
And her mom is still in Tehran and her sisters, and so she, of course, was ready to give me a report.
And so besides that she's very worried about everybody, that everything is in complete shambles, that there's no money to go around and people are very frustrated, air pollution is still horrible, and they don't understand why Biden doesn't hurry up and reinstate the Iran deal so that the sanctions can be taken off because they're still cut off from the financial networks.
What Trump did is still in place, so that hasn't changed.
But regarding ISIS-K, she said it's interesting because Koro-san, the K... It's Khorasan province.
And, you know, there's also greater Khorasan, which indeed is northern Afghanistan and Iran.
And she said it could be totally possible that these guys are actually from Iran and they just fit under the Khorasan banner, which makes it sound like Afghanistan, which is where we dropped a special bomb, the R9X. Supposedly, the Pentagon killed the man believed to be the mastermind behind the Kabul airport bombing.
And this R9X launched by a Hellfire missile does not explode.
No, no.
It ejects a halo of six large blades stowed inside the skin of the missile.
I have not heard this.
Which deploy at the last minute to shred the target of the strike.
I need pictures or video.
This is not being played in this country.
It showed up on Daily Mail this morning.
Well, that province is just on the opposite side of the country than Iran is, so I have to question that.
It's over by Pakistan, where these ISIS-K people are supposed to be.
No, no, no.
They're supposed to be in the north.
The Khorasan province is the north.
I don't know why you say that the south.
Khorasan is the north.
No, it is.
It's the northeast.
Yes, correct.
Well, let's bring up our maps.
Yes.
Well, look at greater Khorasan.
Because that's what you have to go for.
And let me see.
This historical region comprising northeastern Iran, parts of Afghanistan, and Central Asia.
So it may not be physically exactly the same, but I don't know.
It's just because we were talking about Iran, that those are the guys that like to do this stuff, and then Khorasan turns out to be, you know, more than one place.
Well, that could be, because the northernmost part of Afghanistan is nowhere near Iran.
No, I know.
Not the northeast.
No.
Well, even the north-north.
I mean, Iran is on the far west.
I'm just saying.
But this little group where Kabul is, is right where this place is.
I mean, we...
By the way, get to your clip so I can play my Bhagwan clips.
I think...
Now that I think about it, with all this bull crap...
By the way, and...
What?
I'm just thinking, I would like this to be over with, this Afghanistan thing, because just the pronunciation of all these stupid words and the idiocies of the...
I mean, if you went back to the 70s, When Russia was kind of influenced, a Russian guy, a Russian pro-Russian prime minister got in, a president, I think, got in and all of a sudden the Russians were a big thing in Afghanistan.
They're trying to modernize the country in the 70s and you see all these old photos.
Look at modern Afghanistan in the 1970s and they used to talk about bathing beauties and people at the library.
Short skirts.
We've seen the pictures.
All this stuff.
And it was all just like it was the communists trying...
I think that, to be honest, and maybe no one would agree with this, but I think the Russians should have taken over the place in modernized and turned into a communist state.
It would have been better than this, probably.
It would have been a lot better than this.
Um...
Here is, this is the only real thing I have, and then we'll listen to your clips, because all this stuff is kind of background.
This is Jen Psaki, who received a question about some of these private citizens flying people out.
But this wasn't just a question, this was either a direct hit piece for a reason, but I think possibly it's just better to have someone you can just hate on, and that would be Eric Prince of Blackwater.
So this is how it went down.
Jen, I just wanted to follow up on Steve's question about the sort of for-profit effort.
Yeah.
What is the administration doing to kind of protect people from exploitation, given the desperation?
There are reports that the defense contractor, Eric Prince, is offering seats on a plane, evacuating plane, out for $6,500.
And some people in desperation are taking that, not knowing there might be an NGO option, and are, you know...
I mean, essentially this is exploitation.
What is he doing to protect people when they are so desperate?
We're evacuating tens of thousands of people every day for free.
And that's the focus that our military on the ground, our diplomats have on the ground.
And if you're asking me about consequences or additional steps, I will have to check and see if there's any additional steps.
Could you comment specifically, though, on Eric Prince?
I mean, he has...
Who is this woman?
I don't know who it is, member of the press, who's very, very interested in Eric Prince.
And now, in these sort of final waning days, is once again essentially exploiting people in order to make profit.
I mean, what is the position of the administration that this is taking place as you are offering flight free charge?
I don't think any human being who has a heart and soul would support efforts to profit off of people's agony and pain as they're trying to depart a country and fearing for their lives.
OK, Jen.
I'm not quite sure what the intent was there.
Well, maybe to take the heat off of everybody else.
Hillary's doing the same thing.
Yes, I know.
That's why.
Maybe this whole thing was just to distract you from Hillary.
Nobody brings up Hillary in these press conferences.
No.
I did discover something about Jen Psaki.
She has a serious mental-to-speech deficiency.
And it's a really odd one.
Do you remember?
Now, we had her gaffe about the plandemic.
And what we found was that somehow when she had to say global pandemic, that the L crept in the second word.
So it's global plandemic.
I think this is it here.
To cover a range of topics of mutual interest.
Everything from COVID-19 and our efforts to address the global plandemic to...
So it's somehow that L crept in on the second word.
Now listen to her most recent gaffe.
Yesterday they lost 13 of their own, and the president made absolutely clear that we are going to hunt down, go after, and kill the terrorists who were responsible.
She says clear, and then somehow she messes up again, and then instead of, not the L, but she took the C. And put the C instead of the H. Yesterday they lost 13 of their own, and the president made absolutely clear that we're going to cunt down, go after, and kill the terrorists who are responsible.
I mean, that's a mental issue.
That's weird.
She's focusing so much on the first word that she screws up the second one.
It's very odd.
Anyway.
Well, people do have these little...
Yeah, idiosyncrasy.
I think she's coming apart.
We haven't noticed this before.
She's a short-timer.
She's got to get out of here.
She's got to get that Haitian chick back in.
She's funny.
I want her back.
Marie Pierre, whatever her name is.
Let her do it.
Be great.
They're going to end with a man.
Well, Kirby's all tied up.
He's doing his perfect boob job.
Kirby's the worst.
He's just gone downhill.
He's really blowing it.
He's combative.
He's a classic Navy captain.
I think he's a Navy man, if I'm not mistaken.
They're all arrogant as hell.
In fact, I remember years ago when I was an air pollution inspector, we had to go on Navy ships to give citations to these ships who were illegally blowing their tubes in the harbor and making a mess.
Mm-hmm.
And these captains are just like, oh my god!
And the guy's like, he's not even really a captain, he just happens to be the captain of the ship, but he's not as rank as something else, because it's an oiler, it's some piece of crap, you know, there's an embarrassment to be a captain of.
Can I ask you a question?
And again, by the way, I just mentioned, a lot of ex-Navy guys that were in the department, they said, yeah, you ran into a Navy captain, huh?
What did you think?
Asshole, yeah?
Yeah.
Well, let me ask you a question.
When it comes to the Navy, what is the definition of blowing your tubes?
I don't know, actually.
I don't know when you said they were blowing their tubes.
They run steam through the pipes to clean out the soot that accumulates.
Oh, okay.
And so you just pump a bunch of steam into the exhaust pipes for the engines, you know, the big stacks, the stacks.
Ah, okay, the stacks, gotcha.
The stacks of, these are, you know, not nuclear-powered.
And you're just jolt it with a crap load of steam, and you push all this garbage out of the stacks, and it goes into the air, and it makes a mess.
It's just a bunch of pure carbon going straight into the atmosphere.
And you can't do it in port, or you're not supposed to.
And how did you catch them?
You got video evidence?
Did you see it?
Yeah.
Oh, no, we had, there was a, yeah, all you had to do was see it.
You have led such a diverse and exciting life.
Oh, it's so fascinating.
Alright, let's play some of these clips you got.
Okay.
And I hate to say this, because I'm going to...
I know what's coming, because you've got Tucker Carlson clips, and that is kind of a no-no, but they must be really good.
He wraps up the Bagwan shutdown.
Bagwan?
Did I say Bagwan?
Yes, you did!
Yeah, the...
This is what I'm talking about.
There's all these different words in Afghanistan that are just confusing.
Do you know how it took me about 45 minutes to be able to completely memorize...
Uh, no, I forgot him again.
Uh, uh, it's all in my colors out.
Yeah, it's, it's real.
I have to break it down into pieces.
You're right.
It's very difficult for us.
It's designed that way.
That's why they're there.
Yeah, I guess.
So let's go with the Bagram one.
In the middle of the summary.
Got it.
In the middle of the night, last month, Bagram Air Base, which is about 30 miles north of Kabul, plunged into darkness.
Nothing like that had ever happened before.
Bagram is more than an air base.
It's an enormous piece of property.
It's the size of a small town.
It had a hospital, shops, gyms, two runways, rows of hangars and barracks.
As of last month, Bagram also had a prison.
It held thousands of foreign fighters, including men from ISIS and the Taliban.
And then all of a sudden, for the first time in 20 years, the lights went out at Bagram.
The locals understood immediately what was going on.
Without warning or even a courtesy notification, the U.S. military just left, split in the middle of the night, and turned off the power as they did.
Ultimately, the base's new Afghan commander fled too, and so within minutes, looters descended.
They found thousands of vehicles at Bagram, hundreds of them armored, as well as a huge cache of weapons and ammunition.
Now, the Pentagon didn't seem concerned.
Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, had explained already that, quote, Bagram is not necessary tactically for what we're going to do in Afghanistan, end quote.
That turns out to be a massive miscalculation.
That's now clear.
The decision to abandon Bagram Airfield was in fact idiotic and it led directly to the killing of 13 American servicemen yesterday.
With Bagram abandoned, the evacuation of Afghanistan is being staged from a commercial airport in the capital.
And given its location, Kabul's airport is almost impossible to defend.
Are you eating something?
No.
As an aside, I believe from looking at the reporting that Turkish Airways will probably be flying to Kabul by the end of next week.
I mean, it's done.
It's over.
They're figuring it out.
The airport's going to open back up.
They make it sound like it's still in shambles, but I think it's changing rapidly.
Well, the problem that I have is the Bagram was a military facility.
That was north of the city of Kabul by some distance.
And it would have been, I think, easier to evacuate to because this other airport, the one they're using in the middle of Kabul, is surrounded by 5 million people living in that town.
And, you know, a lot of them want to get out and it's just a mess.
And the other one, it makes a lot more sense.
And if you look at the overheads, The satellite pictures of the old Bagram airport, the northern part of it is all just woods and pastures.
There's nothing there.
Do we have any historical examples of these closings like this in previous...
I mean, so this is not how it went down in Saigon, for an example.
I mean...
No, I don't have any off the top of my head.
I haven't seen anybody do it.
And do we have any examples in the past, certainly not in the 20 years that I know of, of any generals or anyone resigning over some tragedy?
Oh, that's never going to happen.
Yeah.
This is the Tucker Part 2.
Yet, despite the fact it can't really be defended, it remains the only way for American citizens to get out of the country.
As Bill Raggio, the editor of the Long War Journal, put it, abandoning Bagram Air Base, quote, is the perfect example that generals just saluting and saying yes, sir, and can do, and not standing up and saying this is madness and I can't execute this because I'm putting the lives of Americans at risk and you need to find someone else to do it.
Tragically, no one in authority was brave enough to say that.
Instead, at every turn, they made unwise decisions that seemed designed to make the country they serve weaker, to humiliate the United States.
What's interesting is that these very same people are now overseeing what may be the largest airlift in generations, an airlift of thousands of Afghan citizens into the West and into our country.
So how is that airlift going?
You're hearing a lot about it, but very few details.
Who, for example, are all these Afghans?
Yeah.
He's a racist!
He points out, in a clip I don't have, which is, he goes on, you know, there's a...
They've already airlifted 100,000 Afghans out, and they're not all 100,000 translators.
They're just a bunch of people that are pulling out of there.
Yeah.
This is pretty sweet.
It's also families.
It's also full families.
It's not just the direct workers.
It's their families as well.
Well, it's whoever can get on the planes, it looks like.
But...
Let's go back to Bagram and listen to Biden.
This is how this decision was made.
Here's Biden at his press conference discussing this specific thing.
Thank you, Mr.
President.
There are reports that U.S. officials provided the Taliban with names of Americans and Afghan officials to evacuate.
Were you aware of that?
The kill list!
Did you personally reject a recommendation to hold or to recapture Bagram Air Force Base?
Here's what I've done.
Let's answer the last question first.
On the tactical questions of how to conduct an evacuation or a war, I gather up all the major military personnel that are in Afghanistan, the commanders, as well as the pentagons.
And I asked for their best military judgment.
What would be the most efficient way to accomplish the mission?
They concluded, the military, that Bagram was not much value added, that it was much wiser to focus on Kabul.
And so I followed that recommendation.
The man is half asleep.
So he followed the military's recommendation.
Whatever the military says goes.
I mean, this guy can't make his own mind up.
He doesn't really get a clue about what's going on.
They buffaloed him.
They steamrolled him and said, this whole thing stinks.
They didn't even talk to him about it.
There was one person who was relieved of active duty, a Marine.
Marine Lieutenant Colonel Stewart, what's his last name, Scheller?
I have a clip from him that got him relieved.
I have his clip here too!
Here it comes!
The reason people are so upset on social media right now is not because the Marine on the battlefield let someone down.
That service member has always rose to the occasion and done extraordinary things.
People are upset because their senior leaders let them down and none of them are raising their hands and accepting accountability or saying, we messed this up.
If an 05 battalion commander has the simplest live fire incident, EO complaint, boom, fired.
But we have a Secretary of Defense that testified to Congress in May that the Afghan National Security Force could withstand the Taliban advance.
We have chairmen of Joint Chief, who the commandant is a member of that, who's supposed to advise on military policy.
We have a Marine combatant commander.
All of these people are supposed to advise, and I'm not saying we've got to be in Afghanistan forever, but I am saying, did any of you throw your rank on the table and say, hey, it's a bad idea to evacuate Bagram Airfield, the strategic airbase, before we evacuate everyone?
Did anyone do that?
And when you didn't think to do that, did anyone raise their hand and say, we completely messed this up?
Yeah.
So it's not even what he said, but the fact that he spoke at all, which is considered by the brass to be breaking rights.
Well, you left the end out where he knew he was going to get fired.
Oh, okay.
I left it out because I didn't think it was that interesting.
At the end he says, I'm going to probably get fired for this.
And he had some sentimental thing to say about it.
He says it was worth it.
It was worth it.
He's a lieutenant colonel.
He wasn't like some guy.
No, no, no.
He's not a schlub.
No, not a schlub.
Not a schlub.
So that went around for a little bit.
Now that's all gone.
Yeah, you're right.
If it's not on the mainstream, it still matters, I guess.
They're doing a real good job.
By the way, I just want to mention, I hate to mention, the Zephyr's going by so slow.
It's an eight car.
I don't want to, there's not a report.
But it's going by at like five miles an hour.
Why is that not a report?
Because it's the same eight...
This is a very important...
Unless it's something different.
Hello!
It's going five miles an hour!
That tells you the economy is slowing to a grinding halt!
Oh my god!
Listen to that horn!
Nothing special to report.
It could be a raccoon on the track.
Okay.
There's another disgruntled soldier.
I thought this would be interesting.
This is a disgruntled soldier.
This was on NPR. It's a two-parter.
It seems likely that few people are watching the events in Afghanistan as closely as the people who served there.
At every point from the invasion in 2001 to the recent terrorist attack at Kabul airport, they've risked their lives in support of the US mission there.
There are probably as many views of the mission and the way it is ending as there are people who served, so we're not going to pretend we know or can sum up what everybody thinks.
We're just going to keep bringing you different views.
So today we hear from Laura Jadid, a writer and Army veteran who deployed to Afghanistan twice and posted a powerful essay on Medium that's getting a lot of attention.
It's called Afghanistan Meant Nothing.
A Veteran Reflects on 20 Wasted Years.
And Laura Jadid is with us now to tell us more about it.
Laura Jadid, thank you so much for talking to us.
Thank you.
It's great to be here.
What you say in the piece, I mean, let me just start where you start.
You say, I remember Afghanistan well.
I deployed there twice, once in 2008 and again in 2009 to 2010.
It was already obvious that the Taliban would sweep through the very instant we left.
Why do you say that?
Well, the second deployment that I went on, we were there to train the Afghan National Army and police, and this was the 82nd Airborne Division, which is not trained to train anyone.
We're barely trained ourselves to do anything except for, well, what the 82nd does, which is destroy things.
And so after some abortive efforts, what my unit ended up doing was what a lot of units did, which was we did the missions, and then we said that we helped, but that the Afghan National Army did most of it.
So that was one thing where it just seemed like we weren't really providing any kind of groundwork to keep things in check.
It just felt like it was us versus people who wanted us to not be there anymore.
And the people who didn't want us to be there seemed a lot more passionate about it than we did or than our ostensible allies did.
And it just seemed like the whole exercise was propping up something that would fall apart the minute we left.
Wow, that's actually worse than what the lieutenant colonel was.
I mean, this is...
She doesn't even love her job.
She also mentioned something we've heard on the show before, and I don't know if it was even the same woman, but I thought it was somebody different.
I think they were talking.
And then you brought in your stories about Iraq, which is the idea is that, okay, you're going to go train these people even though we don't know how to train people because we're not trained in training.
And we're just going to go out and do this mission with these guys, and then we're going to give them credit for it and go back to the barracks.
Yeah.
Well, in my Iraq experience, most of those training missions were really to have meetings to pay off the tribal elders.
Yeah, there's just a payoff.
It's just total payoff.
But I will say that even in 2003, the first night I was at Camp Smitty, In Iraq, there were grown men with tears in their eyes going like, I don't know what I'm doing here.
I don't know who the enemy is.
What are we doing?
So this confusion in the desert regions is not new, but she's really like...
If she's X now, I presume she's out of the service?
Yeah, well, she's not yet.
No, there's no doubt about that.
No doubt about that.
Even though she's disparaging the military.
The 82nd, no less.
She's disparaging the 82nd Airborne.
That's a big deal.
That's a big deal.
That's a big deal to say.
So let's play part two of her.
You talked about the sense of futility, the piece, you know, you write about that.
You say, I remember how every year the U.S. would have to decide how to deal with the opium fields.
You could leave the fields alone, and then the Taliban would shake the farmers down and use the money to buy weapons.
Or you could carpet bomb the fields, and then the farmers would join the Taliban for reasons that to me seem obvious.
But when all this was going on, like, did you and your...
Thank you.
How do you deal with that?
It's like right in front of your face.
Oh, I mean, that's the sort of thing that you joke about, right?
Because there's no good answer.
So you have to make it into a joke.
But I do remember one very specific conversation that I had.
This was I had the privilege to do some support for the Marine Special Forces.
And me and this MARSOC guy had just figured out how to plug a pretty big collections gap in the province we were at.
It was a good day.
And we just sat there and looked at the plan, and then he looked at me and he said, it's really too bad.
All of this is going to fall apart the minute we leave.
And I said, yep.
And then we were silent for a second, and then we left for our respective rooms.
And it would just be at certain moments where, you know, even when things were going well, maybe especially when they were, it just...
You'd become overwhelmed with the fact that no matter how well you did, it didn't really matter.
And sometimes you brought it up and mostly you just joked about it or didn't.
And when you say Afghanistan meant nothing, I mean, nothing.
I mean, everything means something, right?
It certainly changed America.
It certainly influenced millions of lives in this country, and especially in Afghanistan.
But as far as accomplishing anything that we set out to, as far as making any kind of difference, bringing freedom and democracy or whatever we said we were going to do or...
Making America safer?
No, I don't think we accomplished any of those things.
And I think it's like some kind of nightmare sitcom where you don't just go back to the way it was at the beginning of the episode.
Now everything is worse, and it breaks my heart.
I didn't enjoy writing those words, but I stand by them.
Wow.
I really wonder how long she was in the service.
Now, when she says, I don't know why we're there, spreading democracy or freedom, that's bullshit.
She knows it.
If she really was there, it was two things.
Get bin Laden, make sure...
She says she was there twice.
And on the later year, she went in two deployments, and one was in...
I think the early one was 2008, so...
Well, it's a serious problem if she believes that the reason we were there, and it's very possible that they'd stop telling him, hey, it's time to go back, and they just didn't tell him why we were there.
But remember, it was to get bin Laden.
Check, we got that one.
No photos, please.
And to make sure I forgot Afghanistan.
What was the year they got bin Laden?
The first time, the second time, or when he really died?
No, it was the time they supposedly killed him.
Uh, well, it was during Obama, so I want to say 2014?
Yeah, she was already in and out of there twice before that happened, so they had not gotten Bin Laden when she was there.
Right, but that was the, uh, let me see, I have, uh, hmm, gosh, trolls should know this.
I don't know exactly when.
Um...
But still, the mission...
I mean, if it's not even clear why we were there and she thinks it was to spread democracy, then, you know, that's a whole other issue.
But the whole thing is stupid.
Come on!
So many...
Well, I honestly believed in 2008 because Obama said you can take it to the bank.
That's right.
That we'd be out of there in the following few years, and then we're still here.
Well, actually, I think the Take It to the Bank was about closing Guantanamo.
Yeah, that's true.
You can take that to the bank.
But he also promised that they were going to get out of Afghanistan.
Well, so we have all these...
It's like the clock is rewinding.
By the way, Guantanamo's still there, too.
You should mention that.
We're going back to what these people know best, and really, they're neocons.
This guy, this long-time operative, Zalami Kalazade, this is just the same old people, and they're still running stuff.
And we've got everything coming back.
Katrina, Ida coming back on the anniversary of Katrina.
The simulation has restarted, and here's proof, because Tungsten's back too, baby!
In jewelry stores on 47th Street and 5th Avenue, the important trust between merchants has been violated.
This 10-ounce gold bar, costing nearly $18,000, turns out to be a counterfeit, worth just about $3,600.
It's filled with tungsten, which weighs nearly the same as gold, but costs just over a dollar an ounce.
Ibrahim Fado bought the bar from a merchant who sold him real gold before.
But he heard counterfeit gold bars were going around.
So he drilled into several of his gold bars worth about $100,000 and saw grey tungsten, not gold.
I really got sick.
It's a big amount of money and I could not believe that somebody very professional, clever, is perfect.
What makes it such a devious crime is apparently a real gold bar is purchased, including one with a serial number and papers.
It's then hollowed out, most of the gold is sold, and tungsten is put inside because it weighs almost exactly the same as gold.
And then the gold bar is rebuilt, so you can't tell, no scratches.
That's a pretty sophisticated operation.
MTB, the Swiss manufacturer of the gold bars, says customers should only buy from a reputable merchant.
The problem, he admits, is Ibrahim Fadal is a very reputable merchant.
We have reported it to the FBI and the U.S. Secret Service, and the matter is currently under investigation by the authorities.
The Secret Service, which deals with counterfeits, says it's investigating.
In March, gold bars filled with tungsten showed up in England.
With New York now hit, it may mean that international rings involved.
Hmm, yeah.
How about China?
Yeah, China loves gold.
They would do that.
Didn't they all?
If I recall, the first time tungsten came around, which is Obama years, that's when we first had these reports.
I think it was the Chinese.
I don't have any tungsten.
This goes back from before I had show notes like this.
It goes back to when you were still living in England.
Yeah, in England.
And one of our producers pointed out to me that in 2017, there was a clip that we played, which I will redux right now.
Okay, Gordon, straighten this all out, to Ron Kirk's point, to the point that China really wants to dominate the world and be the number one economy.
Put that all together for us.
Yeah, well, first of all, China has this Made in China 2025 program, which would basically mean the U.S. would have no economy left because they want to dominate 10 critical sectors, including aircraft, electric cars, semiconductors.
That's just completely unacceptable, not only to the United States, But to the rest of the world, because they're using industrial policy to do that.
You know, when you look at what President Trump is doing, I mean, he understands that this current trend can't continue.
And I think that what we're going to see is that President Trump's going to use American power.
The Chinese are going to shrink back because they have no choice, because their economy is so dependent on ours.
Trump understands that.
President Obama, unfortunately, didn't.
And neither did President Bush before him.
So I'm sort of optimistic that Larry Kudlow is actually right, that the Chinese will slink back and that we will see the pot of gold.
Gordon, you know what this reminds me of?
It reminds me of Daniel Patrick Moynihan saying you didn't point out the weaknesses structurally going on in the Soviet Union when it came to the living age of the health problems of the people in the Soviet Union.
Watch out what's really happening in China when you tear that lid off.
That's coming.
Gordon, good to see you.
Thanks so much.
Thanks for coming on.
It's kind of interesting to hear that in retrospect.
Because I'd forgotten about China 2025.
Yeah, it was back in play.
Yeah, of course!
Because Biden doesn't know what to do.
And meanwhile, I watched the boxcars go by.
And there's hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of them.
They come by on two loads a day.
They got two trains in front, two in the middle, two engines in front.
Big ones.
And two in the middle and sometimes a pusher in the way in the back.
But usually it's just the two and two, four engines.
And what are they bringing?
All I know is it's just containers.
I have no idea.
I know what they're not bringing.
And our Vice President also knows what's not happening because of this.
The stories that we are now hearing about, the caution that if you want to have Christmas toys for your children, it might now be the time to start buying them because the delay may be many, many months.
Buy now!
So across the board, people are experiencing the issue.
And of course, the climate crisis is fueling.
Just so you know, it's the climate crisis that is fueling this.
No, it's the climate crisis.
It's got nothing to do with ships.
No, no, no, no, no.
No, no, it's none of that.
None of that.
And we didn't mention it on Thursday, but we probably should have a quick 45 seconds to remind us the report came out.
The Chinese authorities have strongly rejected accusations by President Biden that they withheld key information on the origins of the coronavirus.
China said a U.S. intelligence report on the issue was not scientifically credible.
David Willis reports.
The US intelligence community agreed the coronavirus was not developed as a biological weapon, nor was it genetically engineered.
But officials were unable to provide a more definitive explanation for its origin and cited a lack of cooperation on the part of the Chinese.
In a statement, President Biden said China had obstructed the investigation from the start and vowed that efforts would continue to get to the bottom of the outbreak.
The world deserves answers, he said, and we will not rest until we get them.
Sure, Joe.
This is not what we got here.
That's the BBC. What did you get?
What version did you get?
We got the version similar, but we didn't get the version that said that the intelligence community determined it was not engineered.
That's still in play.
Mm-hmm.
And in fact, it's still so much in play that a peculiar Colbert show showed up a few days back, probably earlier in the week.
It was an original, it seemed like a new show, it was dated as a new show, and they even had a...
Was it Dana Carvey that came out and did his new Biden?
He's getting close to it, too.
He's getting really close.
But he's got some sort of a screwball walk down that, for some reason, really makes you think of Biden.
And then they cut to Jon Stewart being on the show, and I'm looking at him thinking, this is not...
And he went on his whole...
They reprised the entire Wuhan lab bit.
But it wasn't a repeat of the episode?
Jon Stewart just came back on?
I think it was a re-edited version.
I'll tell you why I think that.
It was not the same because I remember the other one.
It was a lot longer and he had a couple other bits that he did in there.
They pulled those out.
I think they ran this again.
This is just a guess, but I'm watching this with my mouth on it.
What?
He wore the same stupid clothes, exactly the same outfit, and then he did the same bit, but it was cut way down and then there was an edit mistake in the middle of it.
It was like a flash on the screen where there was one thing and then it cut to another.
A dirty edit.
Yeah, but when you see an edit script like that, it's almost as though somebody's saying, hey, hey, hey, we're editing this.
I want you to know if you're observant.
It's almost as I think it was a control room thing.
Because it was very sketchy.
And then they went on with the regular show.
It was very, very strange.
Wow.
But they reprised it, and that means, that tells me that, you know, there's, and that's CBS, and so that tells me that something's, they're not, whatever the BBC report is, not what we're getting, just to put it that way.
Am I correct in understanding that Fox News Network, their late night talk show with Greg Gutfeld is now bigger than the three networks talk shows?
No chance.
No, I think that's already happened.
No, there's no, it's not possible.
Uh, okay.
It could be number one in his slot for cable.
Nope.
Fox News Gutfeld over to Colbert's Late Show on Tuesday.
Yeah.
What were the numbers?
I'm getting to the...
I thought you would have this information.
I'm surprised you don't know.
I've never heard such a thing.
Oh my God.
Let me see.
Which one is a truck?
Truck, truck, truck.
I hate CAPTCHAs.
Truck, truck, truck.
Oh, please.
Where are you getting a CAPTCHA? I don't know.
Truck.
This is only doing this to train artificial intelligence.
No kidding.
Here it is.
Let me see.
1.8 million viewers.
And that was...
Okay.
2.12...
So 2.120 million viewers...
Which is above the CBS. And then the Fallon's Tonight Show after that.
And even in the demo, he's even beating, and that's what really matters, the 1824 demo.
No, I'm not buying any of this.
I'm going to have to look into it.
What do you mean not buying?
It's been news.
Yes, it's been news for the past week.
I'm not making this up.
I'm not saying you're making it up.
I'm just dubious.
Oh, okay.
For one thing, it's a cable show.
Yes, but that's why I bring it up.
It's really remarkable.
I understand what you're doing, but I'm just, I'm a little more skeptical than you, apparently.
Well, I'm just reading the Vanity Fair numbers.
Vanity Fair.
Oh, Vanity Fair always does ratings very well.
They cover ratings extremely well.
I'll look into the trades and see what's what.
Well, if Gutfield's getting better numbers than these other guys, that's...
I don't know what to make of that.
Thank you.
I would say...
Stay safe!
We've got trouble ahead.
Crazy.
Well, Gutfield's got some, I noticed Gutfield's got some writers now, because he's, he does these little editorials at the beginning of his show.
Oh, he writes a lot about himself.
He's, or he's in the writing room, I know.
I've seen him.
Well, I'm sure he's in the writing room, but you can't, you can't do a bit, you can't write an editorial at that level daily.
Nobody can do it.
No.
You need a team of writers.
Unless that's all you have to do.
No.
He's got the Gutfield show and he does The Five.
That's a lot of TV work.
Yeah.
Let alone sitting around writing scripts.
I think The Five, he writes his own stuff.
I think that's, I see him writing.
So, he must be real.
Yeah, sure.
He's a genius.
Yes.
All right, onward.
Any more Afghanistan crap?
No, I think I'm kind of...
I mean, that's all I have.
It is the news here, but everyone's just going around and around in circles, and it's all about the human interests, and it's not really about the big policy or what it really means, and then still people in a small country like the Netherlands, where now they are bringing in a lot of Afghans.
The general...
The feeling is that I get from the people of the lowlands.
It's like, well, it's better to have Afghan refugees that were, you know, were working in the embassy because these people can do things.
Not like some of the other guests who have been led into the country who...
We'll see.
You are in a mood today.
Just saying.
Yeah, okay.
There's something else going on.
Let's listen to Biden because we're talking...
He was doing a...
First of all, I've got a bunch of clips left.
I'll kind of skirt this.
For one thing, have you seen this new guy Ned Pierce from State?
Oh, the weenie looking boy?
The really thin guy with the thin face?
Yeah, the skinny guy and he talks with the same stupid I have to say each word individually because this is the way I talk.
He has the same cadence as Blinken and that cadence stems from Hillary.
Hillary had this very single word at a time way of talking.
And so Blinken and this guy Ned kind of talk that way too.
And it's semi-quasi-dramatic.
It just bugs the hell out of Matt.
Matt's there.
Oh, yes.
Matt Lee.
Matt Lee.
I haven't heard from Matt Lee in a long time.
He's been on all the Ned broadcasts.
On the Ned channel?
Yeah, Ned and him go back and forth.
So you'll hear more from him.
It's the Ned Comedy Hour, everybody!
And now, here's your host, Matt Lee!
But just to give you an idea of the pacing and the cadence of this guy, Ned, the skinny guy, who looks like he's 12.
He does.
Here he is from state.
Let's just play this clip.
We are actively working to evacuate remaining staff and we have been in direct contact with them.
These employees have served the United States.
they have not only worked for us they have worked with us they are our colleagues as you've heard us say before our embassies around the world quite simply could not function without locally employed staff and we will continue to do everything we can to bring them to safety with that yeah yeah he's he's just a placeholder i guess he's He's kind of like a grease spot.
I don't think so.
He has no personality.
He's there for the long haul.
He has no personality.
Because he's the same as Blinken.
Blinken's got the same kind of stupid way of dramatizing things.
But Blinken has a better look.
This guy just looks sickly.
Blinken's got a worse look.
Blinken's hair is better.
Blinken's more TV friendly.
This kid's no good, Ned.
Oh, Blinken's got big bags under his eyes.
When he talks about bag one, he's talking about something else.
Who's doing hair and makeup during this big show?
Macron's hair, it looks like crap.
We got Blinken's eyes got dark circles.
Could somebody get hair and makeup wardrobe on this?
You're preaching to the choir.
Yes.
Here, listen to Blinken.
This, to me, is like the classic Blinken commentary.
First, we're moving people out as quickly as we can from inside the airport and out of Afghanistan to alleviate crowding in the airport so we can get more people in from the outside and alleviate some of the crowding outside.
It's totally the same cadence.
We're doing the thing.
We're moving them outside to get some people inside so we can get the outside people outside and the inside people inside and move the outside people out to the outside.
Did Matt Lee raise his hand and say, what the hell did you just say, sir?
Yeah.
So what's your feeling about this?
Because to me, it seems obvious we're...
We're clearly not going to vacate the area.
It's a restart of the terrorism, be afraid, be afraid.
What else do you think is going on here other than a great way to put blood under Biden's hands and prime him for a 25th or something else?
What's the strategy here?
I think everyone's clueless.
And then you start hearing these.
But here I've got another.
This is the short Kabul cutoff report.
I don't know.
The media is like they're taking it.
They're looking at this.
They don't know quite what to do because some of them are having a little fun with it.
And I would include Todd and some others that seem to be having fun.
Having fun?
Yeah, they're having fun because they get to, for one, now they get to kind of just start slanting.
They really enjoyed having Trump as a punching bag.
Oh, okay.
Once Biden got in, it was like, this is no fun.
All we have to do is say good things.
And now they get to go back to having fun, which is, you know, finding a punching bag and start punching it.
Ah, so much fun.
And so you're starting to see this kind of...
Fun.
You see fun in the media.
You can see him having fun.
But did they make fun of the president who fell asleep while meeting with...
Who was he meeting with?
Well, they haven't been that much fun yet.
Did you see that video?
Did you see that video?
No, I did not.
He's meeting with some prime minister.
I don't know who he was meeting with.
You know, in that typical where they sit with...
I think it was the...
Oh, it was the Israeli prime minister.
And they're sitting in those two chairs.
You know the one where they like to have a cozy little chat in two chairs next to each other.
And this guy's chatting away.
He's talking to the press.
And our president...
I mean, you don't know if he was praying, if it was being a moment of contemplation, because it looked like his eyes were closed, and even the Israeli Prime Minister looks to the left, and he kind of felt like that, huh?
Is this guy asleep on me?
So they don't make fun of that?
They haven't gone directly.
Believe me, they're having fun.
You can just tell.
They have a joyfulness to them.
Even though, not so much on MSNBC and CNN, but in the networks.
Those guys don't know what to do.
And NPR is also clueless.
If you listen to this report...
Can I just say something before I forget, because I've been meaning to say this.
Do you recall I told you that one of the people within the Patriot Hill Country Network had said something big is coming?
And the next day, and I think the exact quote was, oh, something big is coming that will make conservatives very happy.
That was the quote I heard.
And I think I mentioned that on the show.
And then the next day, this happens.
Now, I don't know how anyone could be happy about this, but if the ultimate result was to make people very worried about our quote-unquote leaders, very worried about how solid our military is, just very worried in general and anxious about the United States, I think they're achieving that.
Well, that's kind of what Tucker Carlson says.
Okay.
So I hate to bring that.
No, that's okay.
I mean, I can't watch him over here, so I have no idea.
So you missed a couple.
He's really on a roll because they've got some good writers.
I don't know.
This is not Tucker as much as it is a writing team again.
I got you.
And it's a bunch of guys that are putting together some really good reports that he reads well, and I think he throws in his own...
They may even write in the insults.
In the jokes.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, I think so, for sure.
Yeah, why not?
He's not that snappy.
I mean, he has good insults for people.
I don't think that's him off the cuff.
And some of them are well-structured.
You can't do well-structured insults on the fly.
You had a little gag earlier in the show that you had to rehearse to yourself in your own brain for probably days.
Well, this is true.
And it's just not that easy to do this kind of material unless you're Don Rickles.
All right, now I'm closing the door.
The Tucker ban is on again.
All right?
You found a clip.
I did.
So, Tucker, ban.
We can't ban Tucker.
He's got the best show on TV at the moment.
He does.
Well, except for Greg Gutfeld.
Tell me there's something wrong with this report.
This is the short Kabul cutoff report on NPR. This is the whole report.
This is the whole report.
Okay.
The U.S. State Department issued a new security alert for Kabul, Afghanistan Saturday, warning people to leave the airport area immediately because of a specific credible threat.
Meanwhile, the evacuation of Americans and the Afghans who supported the U.S. continues.
NPR's Quill Lawrence has more.
The U.S. says now they've evacuated 5,400 U.S. citizens, and the total evacuation number is up to 117,000.
Most of these are Afghans who want to flee the country.
But the operation has been very confusing.
I mean, the rush to the airport when the Kabul government suddenly fell.
There's been confusion between the Taliban, who are holding the perimeter and checkpoints outside the airport, and then the U.S. troops who are guarding the airport itself, and rumors about the Taliban coming in NPR's Quill Lawrence.
Was that just like a bunch of words?
They just cut it off.
Did they have to hit the news at the top of the hour?
No!
No.
No, and it just went to another story.
I don't know what happened there.
It was the strangest thing I've ever heard.
That's almost like Ben Shapiro, where he's just talking all of a sudden, gold!
Buy gold!
You know, it's like, what?
What just happened?
By the way, that...
Buy tungsten!
Mark Levin does the same thing.
Oh, yeah.
And to listen to these radio guys...
They talk about some serious topic and they said, and then they cut to buying gold.
And they both do it.
And it's very awkward and it's like, am I supposed to take you seriously?
Yeah.
I don't understand why there's no transition.
What's worse is when they say, you know, this economy, and then they're doing a story about an economy, and then they'll link that into the gold sale.
If they say, we'll be right back, and then went to gold.
Just say, we'll be right back.
That would do it.
Even Levin is doing that?
That's interesting.
Yeah.
I can't see where he wouldn't find that.
It's just lame.
It's just lame.
Yeah.
I know, you'd think so.
I think I have one last clip.
And is he doing news stories about tungsten as well, or is that foreboding?
Is that the limit of what you can do if you have gold as your advertiser?
The tungsten story!
Oops!
Yeah, I guess they're not going to do the tungsten.
The tungsten story is news to me too, so.
I got the one last as a CBS refugee clip, and then we can leave the topic.
The Pentagon said yesterday they're preparing military bases to house up to 50,000 refugees by September 1st.
Where do those go and how do people get there?
They're all over the country.
They're from New Mexico to Virginia.
These bases are starting to stand up the capacity to take these people.
The problem is it's a scramble because they're already arriving.
And look, refugees arrived in Virginia.
The clothes were coming.
People were coming, but it wasn't really organized.
So it's unclear exactly what's going to happen when they get there.
And look, that ticket out is really important, but that's just step one, right?
I talked to a refugee this last week who said, I thought when I got to America, someone was going to hand me a house and all my problems were going to be over.
Now, this was CBS. This was a CIA woman.
I mean, she wasn't.
She was some reporter, but she seemed like a CIA chick to me.
And she said that bit at the end.
She says, these refugees are jumping on the plane because they think they're going to come over here and get a free house.
Well, the level of intelligence of someone who thinks that and also hangs on to a taxiing airplane, probably possible.
But who told them that?
I don't know.
Is that the same as the 72 Virgins deal?
I would like to know myself.
She gave the report, but did anyone ask this person, or any of them that would say that, where did you get that impression?
Who told you?
I would be interested in seeing what they say.
I expected to come over here and get a free house.
Yeah.
I was thinking about, you know, in the context of refugees, because not all Afghanis are brown people in the desert, but I was thinking about brown people.
You know, just to take it back to the Al Sharpton demonstration with, I think, the Black Lives Matter lady was there, too, Patrice Cullors.
And, you know, this, oh, voting rights is racist.
And because of those two, or really the way it's represented this entire discussion about, you know, because what Texas is saying, amongst other things, is basically, no, you have to show a photo ID to vote.
And the distraction is by making us all laugh because, you know, they're making us think that we think it's about black Americans, African Americans, and that they're stupid.
But I think what they're really talking about is, or what they really want is to make sure all the hundreds of thousands of brown people coming from South America, they want them to be voting.
But they distract us by making it sound like it's back to Jim Crow and about African Americans, black people, American descendants of slavery.
It just kind of hit me.
It's a real sucker's game.
And it kind of hit me the other night.
Like, holy crap, why are we even discussing that part of it?
It's for this.
It's so clear.
They let him in over there, and they want to get the, you know, to federalize the voting laws before the next election.
We've perfected it in California.
People vote that aren't voters.
They're migrant workers.
They're Mexicans who came over from Mexico just to come get some work or do some carpentry or whoever knows what they're going to do.
But they're all kind of expected to vote.
And they go and they vote.
And they vote for Democrats.
Yeah.
Well, just look for the...
See this?
They have a...
I can see this is a sign with a D. A D and a bracket.
See that?
See that?
When you see that, you vote on that.
Click there.
All right.
Mystery solved.
Now we know how it works.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the C twice in CIA chick, ladies and gentlemen, Mr.
John C. Devorak.
CIA chick.
Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
Adam Curry.
In the morning, all ships.
Sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water.
And all the dames and knights out there.
Yo, a big hearty hi-ho in the morning to all the trolls in our troll room, which you can find at trollroom.io.
I was in here early.
I was up early doing the show prep, and I was just watching everybody there trolling along.
I'm sitting there silently, and it's so much fun.
You can join in.
But before we do that, let's see how many we have in our troll room this morning.
So, trolls, hands up!
Let's see if I got a number.
No, I didn't get a number.
What's going on?
Let me see.
Oh, my troll count is not working.
Troll count?
Troll count.
Ah, here we go.
2280.
That's not bad, I think, Sunday.
No, 2280 is short of the record.
But it's good.
We've got mucho trolls hanging out here.
Very good.
Well, that's good.
We're going to start charting this.
We need to have attendance records.
There's a lot we can do.
It was at least 100 over the supposedly more popular Thursday.
Very well done, trolls.
So this is noagendastream.com that they're listening to.
It's live for our show, but many of the shows from Gitmo Nation, you can listen to it live at any time at noagendastream.com.
But at trollroom.io, that's where you can join in and you control the show hosts, you control each other, or just sit back like I do and laugh at what's happening.
I like the way you say it, you can troll.
It sounds like you can control.
You can control.
I heard myself saying that.
We both noticed it.
Oh, yes.
I have to remember that we had a new federated website for our NoAgendaSocial.com, which we have about 10,000 accounts.
It has to be decentralized.
It's possible because it's a Mastodon instance.
John, I'm really sorry about the password problem by tomorrow night.
When I get home, I'll fix it for you, I hope.
So, John's not been able to be active on NoAgendaSocial.
Go to Google.
You've got to Google.
It was expired.
I know, because I said...
My whole point of apologizing up front was to avoid this conversation.
Well, it's so funny though.
Well, here's what happened.
You couldn't find the email because it was going to your Gmail and I had triggered the Gmail, the password reset to your Gmail before I left.
So by the time you got that email, the system had expired the password.
But now I'm over here and I don't have access to the admin because it's IP restricted.
But you got the email, so that part works.
I just have to resend it.
Am I right?
Well, yeah, I guess, but the thing that's funny is that whatever password you put in to upgrade your password, change your password, your password's expired.
Oh, well, let me try something different.
Oh, your password's expired.
Wait a minute, let me try something different again.
Oh, your password's expired.
How did that...
I mean, but I don't understand the mechanism.
Okay.
So when you can't remember your password, you can trigger a reset, which you did, but you didn't know it was going to your Gmail, so you didn't look there.
Then I did it and said, look in your Gmail, but you look days later, that temporary access had expired, and it automatically wipes out all your old password.
Yes, but it never said the access had expired.
No.
It's open source crap software, John.
What do you expect?
Do you want a help desk?
Do you want a help desk?
Do you need someone to call you and tell you to...
Please, unplug your router and then wait and then it'll work again, Mr.
Dvorak!
LibertyWolf.com.
John, sign up there.
You can get John at LibertyWolf.com.
LibertyWolf?
Yes, LibertyWolf.com.
This is Sean, a dude named Ben, and he set up his own Mastodon server, and he's welcoming people to sign up.
He also is hosting a handful of bots that do stuff over there, and it's federated with NoagendaSocial.com, so you can follow me.
At Adam at NoAgendaSocial.com.
And with a little bit of luck by the end of tonight, John C. Dvorak at LibertyWoof.com.
Everybody go check it out.
And let's thank some of the artists who brought us the artwork for, or actually the artists who brought us the artwork for episode 1376.
Very controversial title, very controversial artwork.
I received negative feedback on both.
Which made me very happy because whenever art evokes any kind of emotion, we get a lot of, wow, that was great!
But when it really makes someone angry, I think that's super cool that art can do that.
Neither of us thought about it.
We just said, oh, this is a good one.
We should use this.
And the first thing I saw was on Twitter.
Somebody said, best art ever.
Right.
And then I got a couple, like, you know, It's like a horrible title, insulting for what's happened, you know, servicemen and women have died, and yeah, of course, but I think that's exactly why this art was so perfect.
You know, it says so much about what's going on.
I know, I just, I loved it.
This was Coob the Boob, who I think is new.
Has Coob the Boob ever...
No, he's done some other stuff.
He's got some other stuff going on.
He doesn't have pages and pages of art like some of these guys.
Yeah, people are saying, it's too soon, man.
It was too soon.
He's done almost a page worth.
He's got...
He never got anything picked.
He got the Porky Pig art.
He's got the...
He's got the...
The other one you like, which was a dog with the...
Gun pointed at his head.
You didn't want that one because you thought that was poor taste.
The puppy with the COVID blue glove pointed at a gun fashion towards the puppy's head.
Love that one.
I love that one.
I knew that the Kabul was in bad taste at some level, but it was mocking the original Batman series of TV shows and But it was such a pretty piece.
It was so well done.
It's like one of those things where, you know, this could be in bad taste, but it's damn good looking.
And I agree with the commenter.
Oh, no, I don't disagree, but I don't think there was any reason not to use it.
What was the title of the show?
Dead Puppies, which people were also upset about.
Yeah, Dead Puppies.
But it's because if you know the story that, you know, it was the Australians?
Australians who kill the puppies?
They hate dogs down there.
They do.
They hate guns.
They hate dogs.
What's left?
Alright, so we had some other stuff.
They hate their women.
Do you like the Sizzletron?
Which was like someone...
I think it was Biden's face all screwy.
Oh, I did like that piece, yes.
And that was also done by the same guy, I think.
Oh, really?
Was it?
Let me see.
No, that was Sizzletron.
And then I know that I liked...
I almost used that piece for the newsletter.
I liked...
Hold on a second.
Oh, yeah.
You liked the dog, the puppy with the...
I liked the dog with the puppy.
Yeah, or with the glove.
You liked...
The meme of Biden sitting in the cartoon fires, which...
Yes, I did like that meme, and you rejected it out of hand.
Because it's been overused.
Because it's been overused.
Yeah, but not with Biden.
It's fine.
It was not a problem for me to accept that, but that was you putting your foot down.
I did.
Somehow this segment turns into whatever we discussed, I'm a dick.
You are.
Very good, very good.
You can see all of these pieces of art flipping by if you are using a...
Wait, another one that you disliked.
I mean, I kind of liked it, but you weren't going to buy it.
And with good reason.
This is Correct the Records Ticket 3.
Which was the air ticket boarding pass.
Oh, it was too small.
It was too small.
Yeah, you can't read it as small.
In fact, you can't even barely read it when it's blowed up.
Yeah, you have to be careful.
So yes, I'm the sensible one who challenges all the dumb ideas you come up with.
So if you're using a Podcasting 2.0 app, which is brand new, then you can see these flipping by in our cloud chapters.
And I just wanted to mention, when it comes to Podcasting 2.0, at no moment were we too early in getting this started, almost a year ago.
Now the Brookings...
Is it Brookings Institution?
Is that it?
Brookings Institute?
Institute.
They've got a whole article here by some PhD, Valerie Wirt Shafter, titled The Challenge of Detecting Misinformation in Podcasting.
And she's used all kinds of artificial intelligence.
And she says that 10% of all podcasts have horrible misinformation in them.
Well, she's got that number way too low.
I'm like, what's wrong with your AI, lady?
That's not even close.
And so she's looking for ways to have a podcast deplatformed.
And she explains why it's so complicated.
And she says, well, you know, we've got to look at this at infrastructure level.
She really doesn't want people to just spread around misinformation.
The problem is, today's misinformation is tomorrow's truth.
Exactly.
But I think she's probably working at Brookings, and she's a PhD.
She's looking for a consulting gig, I would think.
Isn't that why you write something like this?
Oh, yeah.
Good point.
You know what I mean?
It's like, hey, I know what I'm talking about.
Oh, here she is.
Valerie Virtshafter is a senior data analyst at the Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Technologies Initiative at the Brookings Institution.
It says Brookings Institution?
It does.
I stand corrected.
Mark that one.
That is an opening of the show if I ever heard one.
I'll play it twice.
Oh, she's a PhD candidate in the Department of Political Science at University of California, Los Angeles.
Oh, UCLA. We figured it out, everybody.
Don't worry.
Go back.
It'll be fine.
There's no deplatforming coming anytime soon.
Yeah, she didn't make the cheerleading squad.
That's my guess.
Oh, man.
Line up behind the CIA chick, will you?
Cheerleader?
Oh, boy.
On a roll.
All right.
Let's thank all of our executive producers and associate executive producers, some who have decided to write longer scripts today for some reason.
I don't know if you noticed that.
It's somewhat longer.
And I'm not quite sure what's going on with these.
But luckily some balance, which are really, really short.
So I appreciate that.
But I think, you know, again, people have so much bottled up to say and they can't really podcast.
I usually catch these early and then we'll rewrite them.
But I didn't catch Mr.
Mr.
Sir Mr.
Dabalina.
Mr.
Bob Dabalina.
Mr.
Bob Dabalina, Mr.
Bob Dabalina, Mr.
Bob Dabalina.
I hope you are thriving, Mr.
Bob Dabalina writes.
I recently moved from the failed state of California to the free state of Tennessee, and man, what a difference.
I'm already starting to talk like I'm from there.
The tension here is near zero and the people are so nice.
I donate today to bring attention to a specific ideology that I think is ruining the world.
As you probably have observed, the Democrats and the Republicans are seemingly on the same team pushing an underlining ideology.
With every step they take, we lose more individual freedoms while marching to some form of socialist hybrid.
All the while, they blame each other for it.
Though they are both complicit.
They have a common ideology, but nobody fights it.
Nobody can put their finger on it.
It's not quite communism.
Yeah, it is.
Socialism or capitalism.
Their ideology is called communi...
Communitarianism.
Oh.
Got it.
Oh, good one.
Communitarianism.
Yeah, it took me a while.
If I pre-read this, I would have practiced that.
No, it's a cold read, everybody.
It's a cold read.
People should know.
It's a cold read, ladies and gentlemen.
A cold read with an accent.
That's right.
That's right.
Nobody finds communitarianism because nobody knows it's the enemy.
Nobody fights it.
Communitarianism is the theory that individual rights must be balanced against the rights of the community.
As many proponents insist that it – by the way, I'm going to mention this right now.
This is a pretty interesting idea.
Please write it up as an essay posted someplace.
We don't need it as a donation note.
Exactly.
And we will link to the essay.
You know what I also think?
I also think sometimes people don't mean that to be the donation note.
They just want to say something and it just kind of flows over and they're often surprised.
Wow, you read my whole note.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're right.
This, by the way, people don't realize that we do get this exact note from people.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, all the time.
I didn't expect that you were going to read the whole note.
People are beautiful.
All right, so he goes on and on about this.
And he finalizes it by saying, today the communitarian theory is the basis for hundreds of new global rules and regulations eliminating individual rights.
Yet, by the way, I'll just steal this and I'll write it up on my essays on Substack.
This is why you should have...
Now you're talking.
Now you're talking.
That's a good idea.
I'll ask for permission.
Give me permission and let me write this up.
Yet fewer than 1% of the affected population knows about it.
Communitarian law is the judicial system that's spiritual foundation for worldwide sustainable development.
It is also the synthesis of communism, socialism, capitalism, corporationism, corporatism.
Okay.
Ah, this book by Riki Rana Nagababa.
Nikki Rapana.
Rapana does a good job of explaining it.
Okay, well, there's a book about it.
There's a book about it.
Anyway, I hope this helps.
No, it doesn't.
I will say that we did see protests on television.
This reminds me of it now that he talks about the sustainable development communitarianism.
I think we should keep that in our sights because there was a protest by Extinction Rebellion and they got a lot of air time.
A lot of air time for that.
Extinction Rebellion.
Those guys are over the hill.
Yeah.
Anyway, he wants to shut up, slave, and some karma.
Shut up, slave!
You've got karma.
Alright, I'll get the next two here.
Dame Angela from Las Vegas, Nevada.
$500.
Thank you.
That is all.
We thank her.
It's been hard.
Dame Angela has done so much for the show in the past and I know that Vegas has been very, very difficult.
She produces a lot of things there and it's been challenging.
Two years.
And so thank you very much.
I know she doesn't want anything but I feel like I gotta give her a little goat karma.
You've got...
Then we have...
Sorry?
I just want to say, Mr.
Dobolina, I don't know if I mentioned that he donated $1,000.
Well, if you didn't, that was a faux pas.
Well, I just did now.
Which is why we love reading his note.
Matt Cernel, or Cernel, Cernel, Cernel, Cernel, S-E-R-N-E-O, Cernel, from Johnstown, Pennsylvania, $470.
Interesting number.
Donation is to make me a knight.
Ah, there we go.
That's why you had it.
June 2019 donation of $100, my birthday donation of July 2021 of $230, my amazing keeper donating for my $200 for my birthday in July of 2021, just a few weeks back.
Our niece loved your birthday call-out.
Please de-douche my keeper who I called out for not donating and then surprise me with a donation for my birthday minutes later.
Oops!
You've been de-douched.
That's how it rolls.
Please knight me Sir Matt, defender of inappropriate timed sarcasm.
I'll send my homemade mead to the round table to help out.
Thank you.
I've actually had a little taste of it.
It's very enjoyable.
Thank you all.
Please send both business and health karma to myself and everyone.
I love to keep them going.
Matt, Matt Cerno.
And I don't know if he wants me to...
Well, CEO Eagle Ridges Industries.
All right.
And here is some business and health karma.
You've got karma.
Sir Tan Cryptids?
Keeper of the lore.
350.
You know, there's one of the women on NPR, no matter what anyone says, she goes, huh.
After each thing they say, she goes, huh.
Huh.
Interesting.
And Amy Goodman has picked this habit up.
Huh.
It's very arrogant.
Oh, yeah.
Well, it's NPR. Hello.
Yeah, right.
In an effort to support others, he writes, in the coming attempt at medical tyranny, I have purchased NoAgendaJobs.com.
Ah, yes.
Excellent.
I remember this note.
Yeah.
Send an email to Bob at NoAgendaJobs.com if you need help locating a new job or would like to find great talent made available by the brain drain of stupid corporate policies.
Yes, that will happen.
Yes.
I also need help with the website if you're interested.
Perfect, perfect, perfect, perfect.
Currently, I'm looking to match an employer with an ITSQB certified software testing professional located in the Delaware tri-state area.
He has great soft skills and is looking for an opportunity as an entry-level developer with an employer that values vocational skills over vaccination status.
Also, I have an experienced operations manager located in Austin.
That's the guy who runs the NoAgendaSocial.com.
He's currently in Holland and sending new employment his way.
His list of achievements include implementing new e-commerce solutions resulting in revenue improvement of $6 million per year and helping to reduce store shrink by 4%.
And we all love the shrinkage, right?
Bob at noagenetjobs.com if you would like to speak with either of these outstanding candidates.
Lastly, I promised Mr.
Matt at Leroy...
I can't...
At Leroy Me.
Leroy Me, okay.
An old-fashioned JCD nutfisting at my next donation.
Good luck with that.
So make a good one, please.
Love and Lit.
Sertan Crypt.
A couple of things.
First of all, I think it's a great idea.
I have received many emails yet again, mainly medical professionals, but some just in corporate jobs and people...
Although the military is surprisingly...
Most are not thinking of leaving because they did leave the testing open, so they're going to try and coerce you to taking it if you don't, but ultimately you can get by with masking and taking the test.
But there's definitely going to be a lot of changes.
It's just people who think differently now after what we've gone through and are thinking differently about what they want to do in life.
So noagendajobs.com, if I may make a recommendation, is map that to a Mastodon server.
Get it from masto.host, federate with noagendasocial.com.
That's a great idea.
And keep that just as a jobs posting.
You don't have to open it up for other people.
Or you can for comments.
I mean, there's a lot of different configuration options.
That would be a great addition to the Federated Network.
And I'll give you what you asked for 10 seconds of it.
Then he makes a fist around the nuts.
Around the nuts.
And then he shakes his fist to try to bring a nut to the little hole.
Stop.
That's all you get.
That's all you get, Sir 10 Cryptids.
Sir Kevin Dills, Earl of North Carolina, 34567, Huntersville, North Carolina, in the morning, and he says I'll send a private note to Adam, check your DMs on no agenda social, please pray for all of the children of Gitmo Nation, and please send karma, Sir Kevin Dills, Earl of North Carolina.
Now, I did not see anything in email.
I don't believe I had anything in the DMs, and...
I don't know what's going on.
It sounds like he has something really important to say.
Let me double check and see if it came in.
Let me see if it came in now.
Maybe it came in late.
Hold on.
Give him your phone number.
No.
No, let's not do that.
My phone number.
No, I don't have anything, bro.
Oh, wait.
No.
No, no, no, no, no.
Oh, here it is.
No, you didn't have it, but now it appears.
Well, he says, good ISO if you can clean up the right channel and tighten it up.
I always give you an ISO. Okay, I missed that one.
Sorry, man.
Well, it's not right.
That's the way it goes.
Sorry.
Next show.
Yes, indeed.
Kona Shea in Orlando is next.
It's $333.33.
Special executive producer deal.
Name for donation, Kona Shea.
Note, ITM, listener for about a year.
Thanks for all you guys do.
I just cut the corporate umbilical cord and opened up An automation and analytics consultancy.
Oh, wow.
I would love some karma for that.
And I need a de-douching.
I'm a de-douching.
You've been de-douched.
Eh, some karma for his job.
Ah, of course.
Well, does he need jobs karma?
No, no, no, for his company.
Okay.
We've got karma.
We don't mess around.
We take karma seriously.
Ashley Slater, Elk Groover, Minnesota, and also that first-time executive producer donation, 333.33.
First off, she says, please deduce me.
You've been deduced.
Second, my beautiful and wise but still a douchebag friend, Marina, hit me in the mouth in the spring of 2020 around the time I started to question the whole COVID narrative.
I am forever thankful for that considerate injury to the face as listening to the best podcasts in the universe has shown me just how stupid and uninformed I used to be.
No, no.
You were over-socialized and under-informed.
But you're saved.
You're saved.
Up until recently, I used to wonder how people could be so stupid.
Then I realized, shit, that used to be me.
I was opinionated while also 100% uninformed.
Yeah, well, we all have that from time to time.
I base my opinions on politics and the like off of what friends said and what I saw on social media and what little I saw on the news in passing.
Like most, I just glommed on to what was being said en masse around me.
I didn't question anything.
I wasn't even aware I needed to question anything at all.
Well, that surely has changed thanks to you two.
Yes, you're forever in this place.
There's no escaping it.
You can't go back.
You can't unsee it.
You can't put the genie back in the bottle.
You can go overboard.
This is true.
Words can't express how much I treasure what you two are providing.
So to say thank you, here's a little of my treasure.
333.33, my first installment on my way to Damehood.
My three human resources.
Love these jingles.
If you could please play for them.
Woo-hoo, listen to that horn.
Don't eat me, Bo Jiden.
And perhaps a hefty dose of karma of your choosing for all.
And I wonder, maybe we should just make sure that we douchebag her friend Marina.
Douchebag!
Sounded like she wanted that.
Ah!
Oh my god!
Woo!
Listen to that horn!
Don't eat me, Boogard, and you're scary!
So scary!
Harming.
Boom.
Thank you, Ashley.
Boom.
Boomity boom boom boom.
Alright, onward with Alex Brewer in Kill Devil Hills?
Yeah, that's what it says.
I wonder if that's Kill Devil.
That's a pretty interesting name for a town.
That's in North Carolina.
North Carolina is becoming, I think, the next trendy state.
333.33.
It's been five glorious years since my father, Sir Arthur, your once and future king, hit me with a crisp left hook right in the kisser.
I now stand before you all a little older, a little wiser with a...
A littler amygdala and an unsheathed third eye.
I have that looked at.
With this donation of 33333 on my 33rd birthday, Adam tossed me on that birthday list.
I become a knight.
I would like to be knighted, sir.
Sir Ignite of Ignite Films, a Southern Hollywood outfit.
Oh, okay.
You'd think they'd offer me a role for at least a bit.
A bit part, a bit part.
I love going to North Carolina.
Well, what does it say right there?
John, I'm still working on your bit part.
Here you go.
Answered the question on the fly.
I'm thinking you're an agitated store clerk in downtown Portland.
It's April 2020.
You're caught in between rivaling factions of a peaceful BLM protest and a menacing gang of Proud Boys.
They're up to no good.
You notice a pallet of bricks, two canisters of kerosene, and a blowtorch mysteriously appeared in front of your store the night before.
Your mind is a fog after another late night with a bottle of peach schnapps.
But two words keep repeating themselves in a faint whisper.
Stay safe.
End scene.
This is as far as I've written, but I think it has potential.
This is good.
This is very good.
Anyways, my most fervent wish that the following items be provided for myself and fellow dames and knights at this evening's round table.
Fresh Caught Outer Banks Tuna Steaks.
And Bakken's Japanese barbecue sauce.
Never heard of it.
Wow, I've never heard of this either.
This is very new stuff.
North Carolina is the king of barbecue states.
Bakken's Japanese barbecue sauce.
The king, the king, the king, the king.
The king of wacky ones, for sure.
Yeah, he says, before I go, I must call out my good friend, Paul, for his douchebaggery.
Douchebaggery.
I cracked him up with a Tyson-esque uppercut many months ago and I've yet to hear his name uttered by either of you during any donation segment.
Word on the street is that he might be a donation segment skipper.
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Turns out that's a very low amount.
It's about 5% that skip and come back.
Yeah, but he could be one of them.
Pay up, Paul.
The only jingle I want for my birthday is that Kayleigh McEnany song.
She and the press can never be friends.
Thank you both, Sir Ignite to be.
Thank you.
Kaylee, Johns B is trying to write you a love song.
Kaylee, we love you from day one.
Kaylee, you can prove that drum was right.
Or you can prove that Bob and Bob was wrong.
I think the drums is my favorite part of that.
I don't know.
I'm going to read the next one.
This is, sir, sorted out 33333 in the morning with this...
With this bequest, sir, sorted out hopes to urge you on the quest for truth, justice, and the re-acceptance of what used to be the...
Do you have anything after that?
American way.
The American way, yeah.
Well, the American way is back.
Well, thank you very much.
And that American way seems to be just to load up with the BS. It's 2008 again, everybody.
Thank you, sir.
Sort it out.
David Forrest, also with that 33333 from Friendswood, Texas.
And he's a long-time boner, first-time donor, so he is in need of a deducing, he says right off the bat.
You've been deduced.
And thank you.
I finally decided to send my cash instead of blankets or water, or, you know, electrical advice to Adam.
I was hit in the mouth seven years ago by my hill country dwelling brother, Randall, who has yet to donate, so I believe a douchebag call-out is also in order.
I want to thank you both for what you do.
When the Rona first started popping off, you guys helped me to remain level-headed and not give in to the fear and panic.
I left the Mormon Church in 2009, and what I've experienced over the last 19 months was so similar to that situation.
It's unreal.
Don't question.
Just have faith.
Just like I have been doing my own research about masks, the jab, and COVID in general.
In 2007-2008, I'd gone down a rabbit hole of church material and things that I uncovered I couldn't ignore.
Just like today when I bring up CDC numbers, studies, even the things they have said on camera back when I was met with disbelief, accusations of being conspiracy theorists or being misled by Satan.
Mm-hmm.
I think that's with all clubs, no matter what the club is doing.
I have overcome cognitive dissonance before, and your show has helped me do it once again.
Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
This time around, I didn't feel completely alone.
Question everything, seek truth, love is lit.
And let's see, has it PS here?
One of the internet telecom giants is now mandating the jab for all employees and subcontractors, so I don't see myself being gainfully employed for too much longer.
If any of the producer slaves in the Houston area are in need of generator hookups or just general electrical advice or service, please include my email in the show notes.
I'm willing to barter, also work within value-for-value model for my labor.
There are things I need for preparedness, so let's make a deal.
Possibly the best and biggest deal the world has ever seen.
We'll make it bigly tremendous.
Can I get a rub-alizer?
Fauci wheeze and two to the head.
Actually, David, I'm going to give you a note since you're in Houston.
I'm going to give you a...
Send you an email, because I'd love for you to do our generator.
If you're licensed and bonded, sure.
He sounds like the kind of guy that can do the generator hookup, which is not like IBEW guys can't do that sort of thing, but it's a specialty.
Yeah, and it sounds like that is his specialty.
That's got to be a good business.
Just to be a contractor, you should be working great.
Well, you can't get anyone to come out to do anything.
I mean, there's just no people.
And so it's fascinating that he even has a minute of free time.
But, of course, he's still working at the...
Oh, yeah, he's still working at the telecom giant.
That makes sense.
Okay.
He's got these jingles.
Rubbleizer, Fauci, Wee's to the head, and I'm going to throw in a Karma for you.
Go Karma!
India, hang out.
Mike, stand by.
33, 33, 33.
Rubbleizer, out.
You've got...
Karma.
Karma.
Kathy Rhodes crops up here from Greensboro, Georgia.
333.00.
And she writes, I've been a subscribing donor since my friend Janet hit me in the mouth in October of 2019.
I just sent 333, which makes me an executive producer for the August 29th show 1376.
Well, 7-7.
I'm not mistaken.
Close enough.
Close enough.
And it happens to be my 66th birthday.
Oh, nice.
Well, I don't know if she's on today's birthday list.
She should be.
I'll check.
It also raises me to knighthood.
Yay!
Damehood.
Damehood.
Well, she says knighthood.
Maybe she wants to be a knight.
That's fine.
It's knighthood, damehood.
I need a de-douching.
Hold on, I was still checking the list.
You've been de-douched.
Not good catch, Joe.
Also want a douchebag call out to my hubs.
Your hubs?
Who will try to claim my donations are his too.
Douchebag!
Truth be told, he's the one that makes it possible for me to support your excellent work on the best podcast in the universe.
And she says, I lost it.
Okay, there it is.
I have to click on this thing to open it up to read this last line for some reason on the spreadsheet.
Humbly request Yoo-Hoo and Twinkies for the ground table and would like to be called Dame Cece.
You got it.
And I just put in the request for the Yoo-Hoo and the Twinkies.
And indeed, good catch, John.
She wasn't on the list.
I'm glad we caught that.
Very good.
Okay, we'll see you at the roundtable.
Kathy Rhodes to be Dame today.
Michael Wolff, 333, from Mannheim, Deutschland.
Mannheim, Deutschland!
Now, do I get to do accents, too?
Yes, please.
I'm listening to your show.
I can't do it.
Colonel Clink came out.
What kind of accent is that?
I was listening to your show since 2016.
So I'm in urgent need of the de-douching.
You've been de-douched.
That's so unfair.
It's like you're doing a kind of a audition for the Hogan's Heroes 2021.
Yeah, so let's just go back to reading normally.
I cannot thank you enough.
Before I was listening to you, my mind was full of leftist ideology.
But your analysis of the whole Trump situation and playing clips of Jordan Peterson led me on a journey which I could free myself from thinking in political categories that are meant to control our minds.
Yeah, this is...
You just hit a big one, man.
That's exactly it.
Exactly it.
The world is not left or right.
They want you to think that way.
I want to say hi to the best brother-in-law one can imagine, Jonathan Horst, and my hairdresser, Michelle, the only two people I was successful at hitting in the mouth.
Oh, I'd like to hear Resist We Much, WTC7, and some R2D2 karma.
Let me see.
I think we have...
Where's the sharp...
Ah, yes.
I got them all for you, man.
No problem.
For some reason, that's not alphabetical.
So, again, I want to hear Resist We Much, WTC7, R2G2, Karma, for all the producers of the best podcasts in the universe.
I wish you two all the best, and that an exit strategy may never be necessary.
Michael Wolff.
Now, it's always necessary.
If it'll happen, that's the other question.
But resist we much.
We must and we will much about that thing.
Be committed.
WTC7 won't go away.
You've got...
Karma.
Yikes.
Sir Hirko, knight of the papal fiefdom of Utrecht.
Utrecht.
333.
Utrecht.
There's no L in Utrecht.
Utrecht.
There you go.
Correct.
Being surrounded by 33s recently, my phone seems to be permanently on 33% battery power.
And the realization that it has been a year since I donated, it's high time.
August 28th marks my 51st cycle around the sun, so I'll be happy to join the celebration list.
Also, early congratulations from my currently fellow countrymen and fellow Virgo, Adam.
that's right coming up Shit, four days.
In four days, September 3rd.
That's your birthday?
Yeah.
Are you trying to figure out if it's a show day?
Well, it's not a show day, that's for sure.
It's not.
No, it's not.
September 3rd.
It's a Friday.
I think it's a Friday.
Okay, good.
Then we can celebrate it on the Thursday.
Yes.
Today's Sunday.
I guess.
Now you got me lost.
I don't know.
I don't know.
You can continue.
Okay, being over 50 in a COVID world merits an Obama, you might die, but also a bit of TPP jobs karma.
Just in case he's wrong.
Thank you for your courage.
Sir Hirko Knight of the Papal Fiefdom of Utrecht.
Indeed, yes, Utrecht.
Utrecht.
It's the third...
Hold on.
The third is on...
Friday.
Friday, yep.
Yeah, you can congratulate me on Thursday.
That's a good day.
We will.
You might die.
Jobs.
You've got karma.
Love me some Jobs.
Yeah, let me get this one.
So Jackie Green in Orangevale, California, just up the road from me, 333.
He's our resident guitar player.
Catching up on some episodes and wanted to pass on some value for value.
Thanks for keeping it real.
No jingles, no karma.
Sir Jackie Green.
Yeah, that's the stuff we love, man.
That's the stuff we love.
Thank you very much, Jackie Green.
Christopher Winter, Fitchburg, Massachusetts, 333.
And he says in the morning, Crackpot Buzzkill.
I'm a first-generation Roganite listener.
Insert Rogan Donation here.
Rogan Donation.
And I want to thank you both for helping me keep my sanity during this plandemic.
I can barely look myself in the mirror out of guilt for being such a complete douchebag, so please de-douche me.
You've been de-douched.
I hit my keeper in the mouth and she finally started listening eight months ago and hasn't missed an episode since.
We are both COVID survivors and we got the commie cold back in 2020.
Neither of us has gotten the jab as we are healthy and already have natural immunity.
She's a nurse in a small private practice here in Massachusetts.
Nuts!
And due to our Democrat disguise as a Republican, Governor Charlie Baker's vaccination mandate, she was notified today that she will be terminated as of Monday for non-compliance with the mandate.
I'm telling you, this is all over the place.
Wait, wait, hold on a second.
Everyone has proven that natural immunity is better than the jab.
So how does this make any sense?
It doesn't.
It doesn't.
Oh, okay.
We all know this.
Just wondering.
Yeah.
Just wondering.
It doesn't make any sense at all.
So, again, as she was notified today, she'll be terminated as of Monday for noncompliance with the mandate.
I've been a full-time law enforcement officer.
Wait, wait, wait.
So she's a nurse?
Yes.
Are they going to bitch and moan about having a shortage of staff because of COVID? Not only that, they're going to be putting bodies in trucks.
Refrigeration trucks.
I've got a clip later.
I have it too.
They're off the wall.
We'll get to it.
We're all going to die.
I'm sorry, but these things just don't make any sense.
Go on.
I have been a full-time law enforcement officer for 27 years with the last 17 being with the Massachusetts State Police.
I was recently notified that I have until October 17th to receive the jab or face disciplinary action and or termination.
Hold on a second.
Doesn't natural immunity better than the jab, which probably can screw up your natural immunity, so you probably shouldn't get it?
Seems to me logical.
Why would it affect his job?
He should be praised for surviving.
He's a hero.
It's beyond me.
Well, the problem is that now with the studies coming out, and there's real studies, Israeli studies proving that the national immunity is nine or ten times more effective.
Everyone is reading this now, but they're between a rock and a hard place, because everyone's already announced these policies, and now it's...
I don't know.
I mean, would there be...
If they really are correct, they should say, oh, you know what?
We're going to reverse this for this group of people, which could be millions, millions and millions of people.
But no.
We'll see.
We'll see.
I mean, I don't think it would be strong of an organization to say, you know, we made a mistake if you already have it.
Oh, no, you can't do that.
Anyway, I was recently notified that I have until October 17th to receive the jab or face disciplinary action and or termination.
With less than three years of service left before I can collect my pension, it saddens me that we are being forced to choose with compliance of this unconstitutional mandate or be forced to live in a van down by the river.
That is quite a number of two extremes.
We choose the van, he says.
All right.
Anyways, I am requesting jobs, Karma, for the keeper and myself.
Thanks for all you do.
And, of course, stay safe, John!
Bye!
Stay safe!
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
Yeah!
You know what I'd do if I was him?
I'd get a lawyer.
Yeah.
You've got a pension coming up.
You only have three years to go.
You should fight for that pension and get a lawyer.
Yeah.
And, you know, it'd take probably three years before it was resolved and by then you can retire and you'll be fine.
That's what they do.
That's what the government likes to do.
You get a lawsuit underway.
You stay there because you can't, you know, they're not going to fire you during the lawsuit.
Good one.
Yeah, good one.
Good one.
Good one.
Yeah, time goes by.
Next thing you know, you're out.
Kimberly Lavin, I guess, in Charleston, South Carolina, becomes our first associate executive producer for today's show.
28282.
My husband desperately needs a de-douching.
You've been de-douched.
He has been listening for years, including past shows, too.
Okay.
If you've been listening for years, I'm assuming there's a lot of past shows in there.
He has punched me in the jaw, but has never paid up.
I'm hoping Sean Carson's two best friends can make his birthday the best one yet.
I don't know.
Seems to be some missing context there.
I don't know what that means.
Interesting.
Okay.
Adam Carter, 2222.
I have no note from Adam.
I don't know if you found anything.
I looked.
No.
There's nothing.
And he's written before, so I do have his email.
Okay.
Then we have SirNightNight.
And this is actually our final donation.
Only a few associate executive producers for today.
20469.
It's all in the numerology.
He wants FCancer, Don'tEatMeJoe, and R2D2Karma.
John Adam, I'm donating $204.69 to celebrate Mr.
Andrew Young's 40th year on the firmament.
under the firmament, you mean, and would like this to go towards his knighthood as he has not yet achieved it.
Okay.
And he was the one who hit me in the mouth many years ago, and life hasn't been the same since.
I also need to call out Goose and Ryan.
Goose and Ryan.
Goose and Ryan as douchebags.
I hit him in the mouth over the past year, and though they are avid listeners, I have yet to hear them donate.
Things have been better here in the Midwest as I am a health care worker that has also been mandated the CCP virus vaccine.
Gee, it's always...
You can't tell what these people think, do you?
Stop holding back.
The family and I are actually recovering well from the CCP virus, and we had pretty mild symptoms thanks to ivermectin, vitamins, aspirin, and nicotine.
Yeah, there's more studies on this.
You're going to find out.
Nicotine patch is the way to go.
Getting the prescription for ivermectin was not straightforward.
No kidding.
The woke Kroger pharmacy was no help, but our local Walgreens was fine with filling it.
This recent diagnosis has given me a stay of execution from getting the vax for 90 days, though all my co-workers must be vaxed by October 1st or face suspension slash termination.
There it is again, the S&T. A local attorney is suing the six local health care systems in the area who all colluded to announce the requirements on the exact same day.
I encourage any no-agenda family to look up Eric Dieters and his firm in relation to the lawsuits.
They could potentially help them or their attorneys draft similar suits.
He was making daily videos on YouTube to update the workers on the progression, but they have, of course, censored him, so you may need to look for him on Rumble!
Or Bitchute!
Or Brideon!
I will attach a PDF of the lawsuit for the show notes.
Please continue your amygdala-sparing work.
You guys are truly national treasure in these strange times.
Love and lit, sir.
Night.
Night.
Don't eat me, Bojart, and you're scary!
So scary!
Wait, he wanted F cancer.
What the hell?
and Was that you live?
Yeah.
That was good.
I thought I pulled the wrong F cancer jingle.
Where'd that come from?
And that's it.
That would be our associate executive and executive producers for show 1377.
I want to thank each and every one of them for making this show a possibility.
Very much so, and these titles are ones that you can cherish and keep and use, and they will be recognized, and you can use them anywhere the credits are recognized.
Hollywood is one if you want.
Can you imagine like 50 years from now?
Hey Grandad, I heard you were an executive producer for the No Agenda show.
It's famous, it's famous.
Stay safe!
And if you want to be an executive producer just like that, go to...
Thank you all for bringing us your time, your talent, and your treasure for episode 1377.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Order! Order!
Shut up, slave! Shut up, slave! Order!
So this vaccine seems to be a dud.
If you know what I mean.
I mean, I got three clips here.
Three clips.
Oh, actually, since we've been talking about it, I will break my own...
Veto, and I will play something from Tucker Carlson's show.
Yeah, sure.
This is something that you have suggested for an awfully long time, and it looks like now we have proof.
Is that what we're looking at?
Yeah, we've had these debates now for 19 months in the medical community.
And as we're seeing vaccinated immunity wane over six months, it turns out natural immunity is about 19 months into this pandemic.
It's effective, it's durable, and it's going strong.
And I think a lot of public health officials have been afraid to acknowledge that because they're worried people will just go out there and get the infection and not the vaccine.
Look, I want people to get the vaccine.
If they're non-immune, I think the vaccine saves lives.
But let's be honest with people.
The hesitancy with vaccination is because we've not been honest with things.
We've not been honest about natural immunity.
We've not been honest with the data.
We should say complications from the vaccine.
They happen.
They occur.
They're extremely rare.
And it favors vaccination over natural immunity.
But we've got to acknowledge natural immunity is real.
This study had 700,000 people involved.
In Israel, it affirms 14 other studies, and another one from Israel showed it was 6.7 times natural immunity was over vaccinated immunity.
And the reason is you probably get more of an antibody response to the entire surface of the virus, not just the spike protein.
And you get a cellular response, that is the BNT cell response.
That may be more durable as well.
So this is why Tucker is allowed to do what he does, because the guy clearly and purposefully, and all of them on Fox will say, you should get the vaccine, I think it's good, but, and then they go blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Yes, it's something they do.
They're always promoting it, always.
Now, I'm not saying that they should or shouldn't, but actually, they should or shouldn't one way or the other.
You're news people.
Now, staying on this with the...
Yeah, why are the news people giving us advice one way or the other?
They're not supposed to be doing that.
And even the guests...
I mean, you know, I guess if the guest comes out of just promoting something, it's just a promotion, it's just a native ad, that's different.
Well, I'm seeing it all the time.
Actually, it's been nice not seeing it for a full week.
Now, this is a critical...
A clinical lab technician, doctor, I think was trained at the Mayo Clinic, and he's going to talk about the T-cells, and he's also going to be talking about what he's seeing in the lab now that vaccinations are pretty much over and done with.
I don't think we're going to get many more people vaccinated, so this is what he's seeing.
But what we're seeing in the laboratory after people get these shots, we're seeing a very concerning, locked-in, low profile of these important killer T cells that you want in your body.
It's almost a reverse HIV. In HIV, you lose your helper T cells, your CD4 cells.
In this virus, post-vaccine, what we're seeing is a drop in your killer T cells, your CD8 cells.
And what do CD8 cells do?
They keep all other viruses in check.
What am I seeing in the laboratory?
I'm seeing an uptick of herpes family viruses.
I'm seeing herpes.
I'm seeing shingles.
I'm seeing mono.
I'm seeing a huge uptick in human papillomavirus in the cervical biopsies and the cervical pap smears in women.
In addition to that, there's a little infectious bump the kids get called molluscum contagiosum.
What do you need to keep that in check?
You need CD8 killer T cells.
I am seeing a 20 times increase in individuals over the age of 50 of this little bump and rash.
You know, that's innocuous, but what it tells me is the immune status of these individuals who've gotten the shot.
We're literally weakening the immune system of these individuals.
Now, most concerning of all is there's a pattern of these types of immune cells in the body that keep cancer in check.
Well, since January 1, in the laboratory, I have seen a 20 times increase of endometrial cancers over what I see on an annual basis.
A 20 times increase.
I'm not exaggerating at all, because I look at my numbers year over year.
I'm like, gosh, I've never seen this many endometrial cancers before.
I'm seeing invasive melanomas in younger patients.
Normally, we catch those early, and they're thin melanomas.
I'm seeing thick melanomas Skyrocketing in the last month or two.
I'm already seeing the early signals.
And we are modifying the immune system to a weakened state.
Great study out of Germany that looked at these profiles on young individuals after the Pfizer showing this locked in.
And we don't know how long.
Maybe the immune system is going to regenerate and those ratios will go back up.
But who's studying it?
And where are the long-term trials?
Two months?
Four months?
How long is this profile locked in?
We don't know.
Yeah, I just thought that was kind of...
Well, that's a depressing clip of the day.
We need a depressing clip of the day, Jingle.
Oh, this is way too upbeat and happy.
This will not do...
Clip of the day.
I do have one more, so maybe you can depress you a little more.
And I will say that the report from Hill Country is people we know are getting the koof.
And Mike, the guy who, you know, Mike the handyman, will be running for sheriff.
He's been home for a week with a low-grade fever that he can't get rid of.
You had a shot?
No, no, no, no.
He got COVID. Now, I think he only has one kidney.
But I think he got ivermectin right away.
Whatever it is.
I'm sure that...
Look, he's not going to go to the hospital.
But, you know, that does take a long time.
A week is long.
It's like, holy crap.
And it hits people in different ways.
But getting the shot, I mean, just hearing all...
And I've heard of some of these symptoms.
The skin bumps.
I thought it was very interesting to hear that it works almost the opposite of HIV. Just an interesting footnote.
Which HIV, you know, function differently.
And here's Dr.
Lee Merritt, a former Navy surgeon.
To break it down into some absolute numbers for our enlisted men and women, or those who are voluntarily there.
And, you know, one of my big problems is our vaccination of the military.
I'm a 10-year Navy surgeon, and so I have Navy people and Army people calling me.
There were only 20 deaths of all the active duty in 2020 for COVID. 20 in all the services put together.
They have a big now that they didn't have when I was in.
They have a big epidemiologic base, and they can find out exactly what's going on.
There are only 20 deaths.
We're vaccinating everybody.
And we've already had tumors and we've had 80 cases of myocarditis, which I'm going to get to, but myocarditis has a significant five-year mortality rate.
I think it's 66%.
So we, with the vaccine program, have ostensibly killed more of our young active duty people than COVID did.
Leukemia, another blood dyscrasia, cancer.
There's 48 per year on average in VAERS. We now are up to 229.
Myocarditis that I just mentioned.
In 31 years of the VAERS, there were 317 cases.
Now, this year, 1,113.
So you can see the ongoing numbers.
And I can pick almost any diagnosis and you will find the same issue.
So the question you have to ask is why are we not stopping this?
We stopped many things for far less.
We stopped working on respiratory syncytial virus vaccine because of 22 deaths of infants in the hospital.
We stopped the H1N1 after 53 deaths or 53 serious adverse events.
So we are now doing 53 probably a day.
Why are we continuing to move on here?
here well in my opinion um i think you have to look at your world view if you know if you think we're fighting a virus you're going to act like a victim if you think we're fighting you're we're fighting a war you're going to act like a warrior and my my argument is we're in a war now we have to determine it's a fifth generation uncharacteristic unrestricted war but we have to determine who the enemy is yeah exactly you
Anyway, saying any of this, even saying what we're saying right now, does get you kicked off Twitter.
Alex Berenson wrote for the New York Times.
This was his final tweet.
I believe he's now suspended indefinitely.
His tweet, it doesn't stop infection or transmission.
Don't think of it as a vaccine.
Think of it, at best, as a therapeutic with a limited window of efficacy and terrible side effect profile that must be dosed in advance of illness.
And we want to mandate it?
And you're gone.
And you're gone.
Now, what's funny about that, I wonder if it would have been gone if you left the rhetorical question at the end, if you left that off.
No, I don't think so.
I think so.
I think the minute he says, don't think of it as a vaccine, I think that's where it kicked me.
I'm in total disagreement.
I'm convinced that he took one too many steps.
He was going, okay, well, and then he had that nasty little remark at the end.
It was uncalled for.
Unnecessary roughness on the play.
I agree.
And so they threw the flag on him.
Yeah, red card, you're out.
Now this could explain an interesting phenomenon, this short clip.
It really does explain a lot if this is something that happens sporadically, and this is from Japan.
A contaminant found in a batch of Moderna's COVID-19 vaccines delivered to Japan is believed to be a metallic particle.
That's according to a report by Japanese public broadcaster NHK, citing sources at the health ministry.
Japan on Thursday suspended the use of 1.63 million doses shipped to hundreds of vaccination centers nationwide.
And they actually put in their report, you know, the term about magnetic.
I mean, has this been happening a lot?
Did perhaps other people get the metallic version of Moderna?
I'm not buying it.
You're not buying what?
You're always not buying it.
You're telling me the Japanese are lying.
There's no metal contaminants.
There's some sort of Pfizer person behind this story.
Yeah, I'm not buying it.
Okay.
I think it's a planted story.
Who benefits Pfizer?
I got a note from Horowitz, you know.
And he says, hey, $11.5 billion in excess profits from Pfizer.
I saw that, yeah.
Vaccine.
Give me a break.
Meanwhile, let's listen to a report from the COVID situation in Oregon.
Okay.
Deaths from COVID-19 are rising rapidly in Oregon, so much so the state's arranging for refrigerator trucks to hold the overflow of bodies.
One county in Tillamook on Oregon's northeast coast only has one funeral home, which is consistently at or exceeding its capacity.
In Josephine County in the southwest part of the state, the vaccination rate is only 53 percent.
Officials say most hospitalized patients there are unvaccinated.
Oh, hold on.
Let me pair it up with this one.
In Central Florida, they're running out of places to put bodies.
This is not being exaggerated or blown out of proportion.
When anyone ever says that, I'm not exaggerating.
I'm not blowing this out of proportion.
Seriously, I'm not lying to you.
In Central Florida, they're running out of places to put bodies.
This is not being exaggerated or blown out of proportion by the media.
This is real.
With morgues at capacity, some hospitals are now using refrigerated trucks to store the dead.
Yeah!
The dead.
The script is back, everybody.
You know what?
Call the funeral home directors.
See if they're really busy.
Because they're not.
I actually may call the supposed one funeral home in Tillamook, which was in the NPR report, and ask them.
Yeah, you should do that.
I just might.
I've got another one.
This is a screwball story.
This is Ottawa, and if you look it up, it's O-Y-Y-A-W-A. I don't know.
I hit the wrong key.
I'm a touch typist.
Ottawa.
What is the deal with Ottawa and Morocco?
Oh, I don't know.
Ottawa has suspended all passenger flights from Morocco for at least 30 days, citing an increased risk of COVID-19 coming into the country.
Dan Karpenschuk reports.
The government's tracking database shows that passengers confirmed with COVID-19 were on at least 26 flights from Casablanca, Morocco to Montreal since the middle of August.
And the latest data from Johns Hopkins University suggests that Morocco has a record high number of cases, 245,000 new cases in the past month.
The suspension of passenger flights from Morocco took effect as of midnight Sunday morning and will remain in place for 30 days.
Officials say that could be extended.
Passengers hoping to travel to Canada from Morocco by an indirect route must have a negative COVID-19 test from a third country before coming to Canada.
Cargo, medical and military flights are not included in the ban.
Yeah, well first of all there's relationships with Morocco and France.
But there's a lot of this going on.
My buddy Lex and Fariba, his Iranian wife, they were in New York.
I said, you have Dutch passports.
How did you get in New York?
Oh, well, they flew to Bonaire.
And then from Bonaire, they flew to Atlanta, Georgia.
And no one was prepared because the flight was coming from Bonaire.
It has nothing to do with your passport.
It's just you coming from a different country.
So they went from Holland to Bonaire, from Bonaire to Atlanta, Atlanta to New York.
Bob's uncle.
Just casually floating around New York without anyone...
Yeah.
Oh, that's a great system.
Oh, yeah.
Well, it's because it's so real.
Excuse me, if I may.
In a statement, Takeda Pharmaceutical, the company that distributes the shots in Japan, said it had asked Moderna to carry out an urgent investigation into the cause of the problem.
Takeda did not report any concerns about health issues arising from the use of tainted vials.
Speaking to reporters on Thursday, the Chief Cabinet Secretary, Katsu...
Katsunobu Kato said that a number of people had been vaccinated with the contaminated doses, but the government had received no reports of ill effects.
This is not just a Pfizer thing.
It'll play out.
We'll find out eventually.
Well, when you say you're not buying it, I go back to the store.
I go check it out.
I'm just not buying.
You're not buying it.
Well, I'm not buying.
You're not buying.
I'm not buying.
But somebody's going to be buying eventually.
Now, I have one last one here, which is, they've decided, I don't think I had two of these.
No, I guess it's just one long clip, sorry.
Oh, well, let me fit in a couple of shorter ones before you do that.
This is another great idea.
The Curry Dvorak Consulting Group could have come up with this one.
One high school's plan to find COVID igniting a firestorm of controversy.
The school wanted to force athletes to wear ankle monitors to enforce social distancing, but decided against the plan after backlash from parents.
Oh, come on.
Why can't you put black people into ankle bracelets?
This would have been hilarious.
This would have been great.
Stupid idiots.
These people are seriously, seriously stupid.
You know, just to play some more of the idiocy, total idiocy.
You know, we already heard judges using vaccination as a condition for parole.
Ah, I know what you got here.
I thought I had this clip too, but I don't see it on here.
Cook County, Illinois.
Right.
Rebecca Furlitt has been divorced for seven years and shares custody of her 11-year-old son with her ex-husband, what had been a 50-50 split in parenting time.
But on August 10th, in an unrelated child support hearing, Cook County Judge James Shapiro asked Furlitt whether she'd been vaccinated.
When she told the judge no because she's had bad reactions to vaccines in the past, Judge Shapiro stripped Furlitt of all of her parenting time until she agrees to get vaccinated.
I think that it's wrong.
I think that it's dividing families.
And I think that it's not in my son's best interest to be away from his mother.
Furlitt is now asking the appellate court to stay the judge's order, her attorney saying the judge has overstepped his authority.
You have to understand, the father did not even bring this issue before the court.
So it's the judge on his own making this decision that you can't see your child until you're vaccinated.
We just wanted the mother to pay support to her.
The father's attorney, Jeffrey Leving, says while they were surprised by the order, he believes the judge is making the right call, given the seriousness of the pandemic.
Very interesting.
Yeah, this guy's some play.
Yeah.
And it's like this judge, they named the judge in the report I had, which I don't have.
I don't know what happened to it.
But the guy's a douchebag.
Yeah, but when it judges this, we're getting into these areas, you know, it's like, well, this is a little bit longer clip, and I think I kind of teased that this was happening, but now it's definite that Delta Airlines will let you continue to work unvaccinated.
You will have to be tested.
Two to three times a week, I think.
But then there's a little more.
We turn out to a controversial new punishment for people saying no to the COVID vaccine.
Remember, it kind of went from encouragement to incentive to a new punishment!
We turn out to a controversial new punishment for people saying no to the COVID vaccine.
Their bosses are making them pay higher insurance premiums and making them give back sick days.
This morning, a new cost facing those unwilling to get vaccinated against COVID. Delta Airlines now saying unvaccinated employees will soon face a $200 monthly surcharge on their health insurance.
This is not just costing lives.
This is costing us financial resources as well.
Delta's CEO says on average, employees who are hospitalized with COVID cost the company $50,000 per person.
If I'm in a small company and an unvaccinated person gets COVID and has to be hospitalized, my rates for premiums next year will go up.
Before vaccines were available...
I don't even have to play the rest.
You'll get the idea.
I mean, is that not a very slippery slope, a very dangerous thing to get into?
Because people are saying, well, you know, because of your behavior, my rates will go up.
But, you know, you got to be careful because this can turn around really quickly because of your behavior.
Let's say the vaccine turns out to be something wrong with it.
Because of your behavior, my rates are going up.
Or you're smoking.
Or you're eating a hamburger.
Or you're overweight.
Is that what we're going to make people do to each other now?
Yeah.
Cool.
Good times ahead.
Good times ahead.
Yeah.
So I have this clip there.
You know, this is NPR. They're beside themselves with South Dakota.
I mean, they've been targeting Florida to know, and they've been targeting Texas Abbott.
But Florida, by the way, Howard Dean was on yesterday's Good Morning, it was the morning news or something on CBS, and Howard Dean...
I should have clipped it, sorry.
But I'll just tell you what it was.
Well, I have the clip right here.
You have the Howard Dean clip where he calls DeSantis a maniac?
Uh, yeah.
That's very funny.
That's all I have.
Okay.
So he says, I never thought that anybody could be worse, more insane than Trump.
And he calls out DeSantis.
Oh, that's good.
Anyway, so here's the report, because this is the outlier, which is still South Dakota.
But they're going to, you know, we can't let it be an outlier.
We've got to just slam that woman.
She's nuts.
So let's go after Sturgis.
Let's turn now to South Dakota, where COVID cases are once again surging after hundreds of thousands of people gathered earlier this month for the annual Sturgis motorcycle rally.
The surge comes after health officials there were seeing some of the lowest numbers since the pandemic began.
Monument Health, a hospital group in the southwestern part of the state, was even getting ready to declare its first day of zero COVID patients here.
Instead, hospitals are once again...
Okay, let's stop right there.
What outfit is broadcasting this?
NPR. NPR, okay.
Your buddies.
It's not my buddies!
Everybody you hate is my buddy.
You're so sensitive.
I hate dogs.
I hate the art.
Everyone who's a dick is my buddy.
Wait until I get back to the States, Dvorak.
So here we go.
Let's see what NPR inadvertently did.
And I think it was inadvertent because they can't seem to get their propaganda right.
What they inadvertently did was say that the COVID rates in South Dakota were next to nothing.
Yeah!
That's what I heard.
After Christy Noem basically let the state be wide open for the whole pandemic.
Nothing's going to get shut down.
No masks.
Don't worry about it.
So they just admitted that she was right.
I think we have to listen to it again.
I think we have to listen to it again just to appreciate it.
Let's turn now to South Dakota, where COVID cases are once again surging after hundreds of thousands of people gathered earlier this month for the annual Sturgis motorcycle rally.
Now, the surge comes after health officials there were seeing some of the lowest numbers since the pandemic began.
Monument Health, a hospital group in the southwestern part of the state, was even getting ready to declare its first day of zero COVID patients.
Yeah, let me just explain...
Yeah, because people still may not understand.
So before Sturgis, there was no COVID. And that in a state that was completely open.
I mean, that is the hilarious part of it.
That's really so good.
All right, we continue.
They need editors over there, so they're going to do it right.
Instead, hospitals are once again overwhelmed.
Joining me now, Dr.
Shankar Cora, Vice President of Medical Affairs for Monument Health.
He's on the line from Rapid City.
Dr.
Cora, welcome.
Pleasure to be here, Mary Louise.
How bad is the COVID situation where you are?
What are you seeing in your hospitals?
Yes, like you pointed out, it is very dire.
We are full, the ICU is full, and the numbers are rising.
So at one point in June, we just had three COVID inpatients, and now we're at 77.
So that is a dramatic increase, and we saw that increase only towards late July, and then the dramatic increase began immediately after the rally.
Hmm.
And the rally again.
That was earlier this month, so in early August.
Wait, did she just do the hmm thing?
She did.
Yes, she did.
She's the one who does it constantly.
Let me hear it.
I want to hear that hmm thing.
Words late July and then the dramatic increase began immediately after the rally.
Hmm.
Yeah, she does it constantly.
I love that.
I love that.
She's constantly going, huh.
Hey, you know what?
You should try that at home tonight, everybody, with your spouse.
Yeah, whatever your wife or husband says.
See how that goes over.
Just say, huh.
Do about a two beat.
Yeah, two beat, two seconds.
Two beat, and then before you say anything else, go, huh.
And then talk.
Late July, and then the dramatic increase began immediately after the rally.
And the rally again, that was earlier this month, so in early August.
So what kind of line, how direct a line can you draw between the Sturgis rally and this spike?
I think, are you sure it's not from Obama's birthday party?
Because, I don't know, a lot of bikers there.
Yeah, the Sturgis rally, even last year, was followed by a large rise in cases locally here.
This is a lie!
We had about 500,000 folks gather in the town of Sturgis, mostly bike enthusiasts.
And, you know, it is inevitable.
This virus, the way it replicates, is close human-to-human transmission.
And there were folks shoulder-to-shoulder in bars, in tattoo parlors, and even gathered in the town for what you would call a mass selfie every noon to show the large attendance.
Well, did anyone say, any town officials say, hang on, maybe this isn't a great idea this year?
We're still in the middle of a pandemic, and last year it led to a bunch of cases?
What kind of question is this?
Did she not do any reporting on Sturgis?
Did this not happen last year?
And this is doing the...
...town for what you would call a mass selfie every noon.
It's just a hit piece.
It is.
It's useless.
Well, did anyone say, any town officials say, hang on, maybe this isn't a great idea this year, we're still in the middle of a pandemic, and last year it led to a bunch of cases?
A bunch of cases?
Yeah, last year the town debated that, and, you know, This year, there was a sense of inevitability, the fact that you can't stop this, and this is a gathering of the biker enthusiasts of the country.
And that's kind of quite unfortunate, but people just resigned to the fact that this is going to happen.
Oh, man.
Cool.
NPR, bottom of the barrel with that.
Poorly done.
Bad report.
I don't think...
I totally disagree.
You think that was a good report?
No, not from our perspective, but from the perspective of the mouth droolers that listen to NPR and they lap up everything they say.
Is that a Tucker Carlson-ism?
Is mouth drool, or did you pick that up from Tucker Carlson?
No.
I don't know.
You've been hanging out with him a little too much for my fancy.
I'm getting a little worried about you.
I did want to mention producer Josh...
I had a very good thought.
Remember, or you'll recall, when all of a sudden, this was about, what, six weeks ago, maybe longer, mask mandate flipped within a day.
Everyone went crazy.
We weren't prepared for it.
We weren't ready.
And that was the oddest thing.
I think we both thought, like, wow, what happened?
I was thinking more, you know, Epstein, Bill Gates, something's coming out, something's happening.
I was at thousands of sealed indictments.
But no, I think he nails it.
They saw the breakthrough cases.
They saw that happening.
They saw that the vaccine is not as effective as they pronouncicated.
And in order to blame something, they flip the masks off, only then to be able to say later, oh, man, yeah, we did that.
That was done too early.
That's CDC crazy.
Mask back on.
But it's really because they saw the vaccines were failing.
Yeah, it was so simple.
It was kind of sitting in front of our nose.
Like, that makes sense.
That makes sense.
Okay.
Okay.
Justin Trudeau is on the campaign trail.
Oh, just too shorty.
I got too shorty.
No, but is that COVID? No, it's COVID related.
Okay, go.
Of course it's COVID related.
Is there any other kind of news?
Afghan, COVID. Done.
So he is on the campaign trail, and boy, he's letting it all hang out.
We will create a $1 billion COVID-19 proof of vaccination fund.
So if your premier, wherever you are across the country, if your premier mandates that everyone in your local restaurant or gym or other non-essential locations must be fully vaccinated and show proof...
We'll pay for the development and rollout of that program.
A vaccine mandate for non-essential businesses is a good idea.
It keeps people safe.
It encourages everyone to do the right thing.
It keeps our businesses open.
And it keeps our economy rebuilding.
So, he's saying...
His lisp is, like, getting worse.
He's saying, vote for me.
I'll make sure...
That you help build your own prison.
Isn't there something...
Pretty much what he said.
And they'll pay for it, though.
Yeah, but isn't there something someone said once, like, the best prison is the one the inmates build themselves?
This is exactly what it is.
Like, hey, I'll get a billion dollars.
We'll develop the apps.
We'll put the QR codes together.
We'll have the...
And he does it like he's doing them a favor.
Yeah, yeah.
Bring the big anvil on someone's head when they break the rules.
Now, if this next clip wasn't from the rebel who I trust because it has been edited, I wouldn't have played it.
But I don't think that they would edit this to such a degree that it would take out of context.
But this was kind of a cute little question and answer thing that came up with Justin Trudeau.
There are definitely more than 25 people in this fairly tight and crowded space.
And provincial law in Ontario currently limits indoor gatherings to 25 people.
Are you breaking the spirit, if not the letter of the law, to hold a party event and lecture the Premier of Ontario on vaccine passports?
I think Canadians are facing a really important choice right now.
The big decisions about our future, they're being made now and in the coming months.
By your government.
I'm not sure that was an answer to my question.
So did you get special clearance to hold an event that exceeds current crowd capacity in Ontario indoors?
We're going to continue to do everything we can to keep people safe.
We will always follow public health guidance.
We will follow the best recommendations of the public health experts advising our campaign.
And the first and most fundamental thing we do Is to be able to look at Canadians and say, every single one of our candidates is doing the right thing.
They just get away with that.
I mean, of course, it happens here, too.
But just don't ask the question.
I find it hard to believe that that actually occurred.
Well, it's the rebel.
That's why I prefaced that.
I agree with you.
The rebel is not an operation that would do that.
You wouldn't think, no.
You wouldn't think.
They've been banned from every place.
Are they still off YouTube as well?
I think so, yeah.
Oh man, I could be wrong.
Go podcasting.
That's all there is left, people.
That's it.
We are the last lone voices in an empty wasteland of media.
So I have this, the Catholics thing, which has got to be depressing to anyone who is a Catholic, currently Catholic, because the Pope, you know, who is probably, I don't know, closest to a Satanist that any Pope's been.
We've ever been, yeah.
Let's play this so people can be reminded that they've been cut loose.
The Catholic Archdiocese of San Antonio says it will not provide or sign religious exemption letters that would allow people to avoid getting the COVID-19 vaccine.
From Texas Public Radio, Jerry Clayton has more.
The announcement via social media encourages everyone who's eligible to receive the vaccine and called it an act of charity towards other members of the community and a moral responsibility.
The Archdiocese cited guidance from both the Vatican and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
The move by the church comes as local governments and schools in Texas are locked in a battle with the state over vaccine mandates.
Many localities and businesses are defying an order by the governor banning vaccine requirements, which in some cases do allow for religious exemptions.
So this report was like, wasn't the San Diego Archdiocese or something, and they give the report from Texas just so they could give Texas the needle?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, good point.
It's NPR, so we have so-and-so reporting, but he's currently in Texas for some unknown reason.
So we're going to give you the report from Texas for some unknown reason.
Oh, there's the reason.
We're horrible in Texas.
I'm ashamed to go back.
I mean, currently, I'm in the number two most COVID-resilient country.
Why would I want to leave?
Yeah, why would you want to go back to that horrible Texas?
Oh, oh, we had big news.
Finally, finally it comes out.
Looks like we've got a report.
Oh, yes, everybody.
Now that he's out and gone and resigned and we're not going to do anything about it, we might as well just throw in the towel.
New York has revealed 12,000 more COVID-19 deaths that went unreported under disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo.
Cuomo successor Kathy Hochul told NPR Wednesday the new numbers reflect official U.S. CDC data, bringing the state's total number of COVID-19 deaths to over 55,000.
The previous number reported by Cuomo was incomplete, focusing only on confirmed COVID-19 deaths and excluding those who died at their own homes and other places.
Hochul said the revised count is based on death certificate data submitted to the CDC, which includes any confirmed or suspected COVID-19 deaths in any location in New York.
Hochul's announcement comes on her second day in office and appears to make good on her promise of greater transparency.
Cuomo, who resigned amid a sexual harassment scandal earlier this month, has also faced criticism for under-reporting data during the pandemic to improve his own image.
I like that little dig to throw in there.
You got a couple of digs in there.
The other one is they're calling him not just the ex-governor, but the disgraced ex-governor.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I guess he didn't make a lot of friends.
No.
So let's just compare notes for a moment.
Actually, we got a whole bunch of stuff to do still.
Let's just compare notes.
I can't really see the vaccine mandates and or passports lasting too long.
It feels like we're somehow in this period where we have a couple months and the next few months either the mainstream completely bowls everybody over and it's just all death and destruction and we believe it's 2020 all over again or the people I'm not just talking about the United States,
who aren't locked down, because Australia and New Zealand are a little more challenging for them, that they just ignore it and say, screw it, we're going on with their lives.
I mean, will these people truly keep this up, or do they have other things to do with their time that need attention?
Like Afghanistan, and like in America, the election, like Trudeau's already off campaigning.
So he's off to the races, but he has some of that under his own control.
Well, there's a number of things they've got to deal with.
One, you've got Gavin Newsom out here.
And that's a national issue.
That's got to go fast.
Yeah, that's got to happen first.
Right.
But that will be over about halfway through September.
I think the election is on the 4th or 6th or something.
I don't know the date.
I've got to send my ballot in.
And then you have, of course, the main thing that they want to get back to is climate change, which they're re-strategizing on a daily basis to try to figure out how they can get people jacked up about it.
I had a clip.
I don't know if it's on...
I don't think it's in these clips.
Wait, wait.
So what we're saying is...
That they've got to start moving towards climate change and they'll do that before the end of the year?
They won't take advantage of the flu season and just weather in general and they won't keep Rona at the top of the list and vaccine blah blah blah?
They're going to really switch?
Well, in your neck of the woods, where you are now, as you said, they've already dropped the COVID narrative.
Well...
Because they decided it was boring.
But please remember, I am in the corona-resistant and crime-ridden country of the Netherlands.
Yeah, that...
Which, of course, explains it.
Corona don't kill crime, baby.
So, uh...
Well, they have to do something.
They're having too much fun with this current Afghanistan thing, I can assure you.
Yeah.
I mean, you watch the morning shows that go on, Sunday morning shows, and they're just gleeful.
They're loving it.
They got these guys on they haven't seen for a while.
They haven't seen McMaster for a while, and they haven't seen these other people.
They can yak at them and make them feel bad.
Oh, they can do some real reporting.
They can do some real reporting.
Now they can be sharp.
Their idea of real reporting is making people feel bad.
Yeah, you should feel bad.
Get off.
And so...
So this is going to last for a while, this Afghanistan thing.
And poor Biden, who I have some clips I want to play after the break, but I do have one clip we can play now.
Okay.
Which is that this is his big lament.
This was the big clip.
This is the one that, you know, we're going to get you a clip.
And this is the one just before they sent the Predator...
Chopper thing, whatever the hell that was you talked about earlier.
That bomb we don't know anything about here.
Oh, the R9X with the blades?
It's like a ninja star that unfolds before your very eyes?
Nah.
This is some next level stuff they have not told us about.
I'm very excited.
This is the Biden not forgive clip.
This is the big one.
Being the father of an army major who served for a year in Iraq and before that was in Kosovo As a U.S. attorney for a better part of six months in the middle of a war.
When he came home after a year in Iraq, was diagnosed like many, many coming home with an aggressive and lethal cancer of the brain.
What?
We lost.
Did that come from that theater of war?
He makes it sound as though if you went to Iraq, you got an aggressive form of brain cancer, and I've never heard this.
It wasn't Iraq.
He said Bosnia.
Well, no, he says he was in, okay, this is all dubious, by the way.
Nobody knows that he was in Bosnia, but he went to Bosnia as a lawyer.
Kosovo, I'm sorry, I said Kosovo.
Kosovo as a lawyer.
Yeah.
And then he went to Afghanistan, or no, I'm sorry, he went to Iraq, and then he got this brain cancer, like a bunch of people did, I guess, is the way he says it.
But it's beside the point he drifts off of this nonsense.
Right, but on the Twitter, this did not go over well with military people and their family.
They were very mad about him saying this.
The Marines got blown up.
Like, well, okay, my kid just blew up.
At least you could hold your kid's hand.
This was a bad comment.
I don't know if he's freewheeling here.
It's his writers.
I mean, again, I keep bringing it back to that.
But the people in the White House staff that write this crap for him, they're the ones that are responsible.
They're a bunch of millennial dips.
And this is what comes out.
And he just reads it.
He's a zombie, this guy.
We have some sense, like many of you do, what the families of these brave heroes are feeling today.
You get this feeling like you're being sucked into a black hole in the middle of your chest.
There's no way out.
My heart aches for you.
What?
And I know this.
My heart aches for you.
Okay.
We have a continuing obligation, a sacred obligation to all of you.
The families of those heroes, that obligation is not temporary, it lasts forever.
The lives we lost today were lives given in the service of liberty, the service of security, the service of others, in the service of America.
Like their fellow brothers and sisters in arms who died defending our vision and our values, In the struggle against terrorism, of the fall on this day, they're part of a great and noble company of American heroes.
To those who carried out this attack, as well as anyone who wishes America harm, know this.
We will not forgive.
We will not forget.
We will hunt you down and make you pay.
Yeah.
Yeah, they pulled out a little bit of the old Joe.
The gates of hell Joe.
He talks so slow.
If you notice during that clip, you asked for a clarification of one word he said.
Oh, we were able to have a whole conversation between the two words.
We damn near had a conversation in between pauses.
Ow!
ISIS. We will follow them to the gates of hell.
ISIS. I feel good!
I'm gonna show my sword by donating to No Agenda.

Sorry.
And we'll give you some jobs karma at the end of the segment.
Sean Terrell, $100.33, says, I don't know why there's so many long notes in this segment where we don't read notes.
Maybe it's new people.
Maybe it's new people who have come in.
It's got to be new people.
Yeah.
But many of them say they've been listening since, you know, some time ago.
We have lots of trolls and more trolls than ever.
So something must be up.
Something must be going on.
Something's up.
He's been listening on and off since 2017.
And for a long note, for $100.33, we want to thank him for that.

I want to thank each and every one of them for making this all possible.
Yes, and Benjamin Ritgers, he said Saturday was Brian Tucker's birthday, switcheroo and de-douche.
We put him on the birthday, have no idea what switcheroo means, but de-douche.
You've been de-douched.
And I did want to pick this up, which I noticed this in the 33s from Sam Williams, who says, I've started contributing to the show with a monthly 33.33 donation.
Many people don't know you can do that, but you can.
And he said, please deduce me if able.
Well, of course we'll do that for you, and thank you for your courage, sir.

No Agenda Meetups!
Meetups are killing it.
Meetups everywhere in the world.
This is where the No Agenda producers, and also new people, people who you want to bring along, come together, hang out, celebrate, and celebrate life, and see that we're all very, very similar in many ways, even though we're completely different.
And this is all of the stuff that you find out at a meetup.
It's one of the most great experiences I've had in a long time, particularly if you've been locked up like many.
And have a report!
From the Local 76, they had their meetup on Monday.
No audio report this time, but did send a quick paragraph on Monday the 23rd.
Only three of us made it to Cheers Cafe in the Port Richmond neighborhood of Philadelphia proper, but it was great.
In the midst of a robust conversation, we decided not to break our flow to produce an audio report.
In the short time that I've been hosting meetups, I've experienced community and camaraderie with open hearts and minds that is so rare the value is immeasurable.
I want to extend gratitude for the courage of all my local 76 peeps and everyone making no agenda meetups happen across the world.
And that is from Sean, and he says, P.S. No joke!
Going off the deep end, this is John.
This is Jim from Denver.
In the morning.
Rad raccoon is still a douchebag.
Stay safe.
Slave revolt in Denver.
Spy County Utopia here, saying hi to Gitmo Nation.
This is Colin.
I'm unvaxxed and relaxed.
Hey, this is Mountain Jay.
Stay free.
These waters in the morning, y'all.
And this is Tacos.
We successfully combined meetups here in Denver and had a great time.
Next one in two weeks.
And it just cuts off there.
But we got it.
Thanks for the report.
That's the one that they had two simultaneous meetups.
Mimi was talking about this.
Yeah, and they combined it.
I love that.
That's just great.
It's fantastic.
I love these meetups.
And let's see.
Well, I can't even promote this one because it's already come and gone.
It must have been very wet at the N.A. Lowlands picnic in the park in Delft at 1 o'clock.
So that is, well, I guess they just started.
So they've been going for about, no, wait.
That was eight hours ago.
I'm so confused.
I don't know where I'm living anymore.
Irma, let us know how that went.
Also today at 3 o'clock Eastern, so just kicked off, that is the Buffalo Western New York meetup at Raymond Kilmick Veterans Park, North Tonawanda, New York.
And on Monday, tomorrow, the FEMA Region 4 Celebration Mead up at 5 p.m.
at Paul's Oasis.
That's in Knoxville, Tennessee.
And then we have the third, my birthday, Sorrento, Italy.
The fourth, Cleveland, Ohio.
Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Rice.
Ah, is that Rice?
Is that...
That's the Netherlands again.
Man, the Dutch Gitmo Nation people are kicking ass.
And also on the fourth, Dixon County in Tennessee.
Those are the No Agenda Meetups.
This is just a sampling of them.
You can find a lot more at noagendameetups.com.
Look for one near you.
You can search by zip code.
Look at calendar dates.
If you can't find anything, start one yourself.
It's really easy.
It's a meetup.
up it's like a party and I did want to thank the clip custodian today
He has delivered, since he started, over 1,200 clips, of which he says over 700 have been played.
Is that crazy?
That's a lot of clips.
That seems like a lot.
It is sometimes a lot.
Anyway.
Nuts.
It's worth something.
Alright, you had something for the end here.
You want to do some Biden stuff to wrap it up?
I got a Biden in a sub-clip.
The sub-clip which brings out the clip.
This is Biden at the press conference.
It says Biden Presser 1.
You say that what America says matters.
What do you say to the Afghans who helped troops who may not be able to get out by August 31st?
I say we're going to continue to try to get you out.
It matters.
Look, I know of no conflict.
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
I wish I had had this earlier.
This is so good.
He's doing Reverend Al's material.
Did he not say no real conflict?
Maybe.
You say that what America says matters.
What do you say to the Afghans who helped troops who may not be able to get out by August 31st?
I say we're going to continue to try to get you out.
It matters.
Look, I know of no conflict.
There's no real conflict!
Almost.
As a student of history, no conflict where, when a war was ending, One side was able to guarantee that everyone they wanted to be extracted from that country would get out.
And think about it, folks.
I think it's important.
I know the American people get this in their gut.
There are, I would argue, millions of Afghani citizens who are not Taliban, who did not actively cooperate, who With us as SIVs, who have given a chance, they'd be on board a plane tomorrow.
It sounds ridiculous, but the vast majority of people in communities like that want to come to America given a choice.
So getting every single person out is...
Can't be guaranteed by anybody because there's a determination all who wants to get out as well.
At any rate, it's a process.
I was really pointing to you.
Whoa!
Wow!
That was three half answers to nothing.
Yeah, I have this sub clip.
That was wild.
This sub clip Biden presser one is 11 seconds of just Biden confusing, just yuckin'.
No, Biden Presser 1?
No, that's what we just played.
Sub clip.
Sub clip.
Yes, I'm sorry.
I've got it here.
Can't be guaranteed by anybody because there's a determination all who wants to get out as well.
At any rate, it's a process.
I was really pointing to you, but you, sir...
What?
What did he say?
I don't know.
It's a process.
He thought it was a question from...
I think he answered someone else's question.
Because he says at the end, you know how, hold on a second, because we didn't play this, but this is the beginning of this clip here.
Ladies and gentlemen, they gave me a list here.
The first person I was instructed to call on was...
I think you're right.
And so the wrong person asked a question and he's trying to answer it, but the answer that he has in front of him or rehearsed is something else.
It's somebody else's question.
Yeah!
Holy crap!
Let's hear that quick sub-clip again.
Can't be guaranteed by anybody because there's a determination all who wants to get out as well.
At any rate, it's a process.
I was really pointing to you, but you, sir...
Oh, man.
It sounds like it, doesn't it?
Yeah.
Oh, my goodness.
This is the problem with over-scripting.
We have this problem on our show.
We can't even do under-scripting.
We can't do it.
And this poor guy who's just brain dead, I mean, he just can't even point to the right guy.
What?
I'm giving the wrong answer.
Damn.
This is great.
All right.
You got more or should we go?
I think we can go.
I have a little Sirhan, Sirhan clippage, which we can easily do on Thursday.
Yeah, I mean, you know.
Bobby's dead, so it can wait another week.
And Sirhan Sirhan's not out yet either, so...
Hey, Fun Fact Friday is next on No Agenda Stream.
You like that show.
You actually brought clips of that show, I think.
I did.
I did.
I discovered that show.
I feel like Donnie Carson.
Give you some props there.
Neil Jones is the only one who did an end-of-show mix, so I'm also going to add in a couple of good ones from 2019-2020.
Hey.
What?
Before you play the end, don't we do an ISO showdown at the end here?
No, I'm sorry.
We usually do the ISO showdown right after the...
I'm sorry.
I'm losing my marbles, man.
You're going to be flying out when?
Tomorrow morning, early.
Oh, that's why.
You're jacked up.
It's also, I don't know, 930 here, 920.
Oh, it's getting late for you.
Okay, ISOs.
Come on.
What you got?
Okay, I only have one.
That makes it easier.
Well, it doesn't mean that that's it.
It doesn't mean that that's it.
Let's see.
I have one called Tough Day.
Tough Day.
Okay, let me see if I have anything good here.
No, it's probably going to have to be yours because somehow the only ISO I have is this one, which is just not going to cut it.
I think it's even better I played it here instead of end of show.
Yeah, I think so.
Okay, there we go.
I love that guy, though.
He kind of said what everyone's thinking.
Yeah, right.
All right, so end of show from Neil, who is actually in the path of...
What is it?
Ida?
Is it Ida?
Ida.
So he's in the path, and we pray for him, his family, and everybody else there who's...
In the path.
I hope it's not too bad.
And then we got a couple of ones from back in the early days when we were still calling it the Wuhan flu.
So keep a lookout for that.
And coming to you from the corona-resistant crime-ridden kingdom of the Netherlands in Amsterdam, Gitmo Nation lowlands.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where I seem to be stuck.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
We return on Thursday.
I'll be back in the hill country.
And if you want to, you can think of us.
Remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA. Stay safe, everybody!
Adios!
Alright, I'm Adam Curry.
Goodbye, goodbye, John.
Goodbye in the morning.
Goodbye.
You can say goodbye.
Have a nice flight.
Yes, thank you very much.
Hey Owen, adios mofos!
And such.
We begin tonight here at home with the urgent evacuations in Louisiana.
Hurricane Ida expected to come ashore tomorrow, 16 years to the day after Hurricane Katrina.
