	Adam Curry, Heinz, 557.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, September 2nd, 2021.
	This is your award-winning Gimbo Nation Media Assassination, episode 1378.
	This is No Agenda.
	Do you Reworming my inner horse and broadcasting live from the heart of Texas Hill Country, FEMA Region No.
	6 in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where we all say happy birthday to Adam and thank God you weren't stranded.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It could happen.
	It could happen.
	I'm back.
	Well, the reason I use the term stranded...
	That's the term.
	That's the term of the day now in Afghanistan.
	Well, I know, but there's a big brouhaha over the term.
	Oh, is there now?
	So I have a clip here from...
	Let me just play this.
	This is Americans stranded in Afghanistan.
	This is a combination clip.
	This is Jen Psaki moaning and groaning about people using the term stranded.
	Cut right to a back and forth with General Kirby.
	Is he a general?
	He's not a general, is he?
	I'm sorry, Admiral Kirby.
	That's better.
	Admiral Kirby using the term.
	Oh, I've heard this is good, yeah.
	First of all, I think it's irresponsible to say Americans are stranded.
	They are not.
	How does diplomacy get those people out of the Taliban-controlled Afghanistan?
	It's not completely unlike the way we do it elsewhere around the world.
	I mean, we have Americans that get stranded in countries all the time, and we do everything we can to try to facilitate safe passage.
	Yeah.
	Well, there are thousands of Americans stranded.
	And I know of one group here, right here in the hill country, who is working pretty much 24-7 on getting people out on civilian flights.
	I think the Turkish Air is flying again.
	There's thousands of people that are still working on, green card holders even.
	Well, they should be contacting Hillary.
	Yeah, because she's got the private flights all set up.
	I know.
	She's going to do it.
	She can get people out.
	I know.
	It's fantastic.
	Before we go into any of this, I would like to, including Joe Rogan getting COVID. Yes, I've spoken with Joe, so I'm ready to discuss.
	Oh, good.
	Well, before we do any of that, let's just talk about your trip back.
	How was it?
	Well, my trip back.
	Thank you for asking.
	First thing that happened after the show, now when we end the show, when I'm over there, it's 10.30.
	By the time we're done with everything and posting the show and getting it up.
	At night.
	Yeah, at night, 10.30.
	So, now I had a sandwich, so I'm like, ah, just chill here in the room, because sometimes I'll go down to the bar, you know, grab a glass of wine or something.
	I'll just watch some TV. And you remember Peter R. DeVries.
	The crime journalist who was murdered in cold blood outside the television studio.
	Now, he was providing advice and assistance to a state's witness.
	And what that case is about is drugs and murder.
	And as with most of these cases in the crime-ridden kingdom of the Netherlands, the government's involved one way.
	Certainly the police has been involved in these things going back to the 90s, the IRT scandal, if anyone wants to look it up.
	Where they were, you know, were dealing, the cops were dealing drugs, trying to set up sting operations, but a lot of them like, kind of like the whole money flow and the cash, and they just kept doing it.
	Yeah, so the stings were few and far between.
	They do it for themselves, exactly.
	So there was one of the big talk shows in the evening, and they're talking about him, and I find out something I didn't know, that there are two other murders in connection to this state's witness.
	One is one of his lawyers, Who was shot and killed.
	And the third is a judge.
	Boy, these guys are heavy hitters.
	And so they're talking about it, and they all agreed, unanimously.
	This is why I bring it up, because, you know, I say it jokingly, but they unanimously agreed the Netherlands is a narco state.
	Just like Colombia was.
	Then I got a fantastic promo on a tip.
	And this is a travel tip from your No Agenda show.
	Don't spend money on private planes.
	Don't spend money on first class.
	Spend your money on the Schiphol VIP Center.
	Oh my goodness.
	I did not know this existed.
	This is the first time you were in there?
	Well, I've been in...
	Years ago...
	And this VIP center was typically only for royalty and dignitaries.
	And it's, you know, I think it was run by the KLM back in the day.
	And, you know, it's a private security, places for you to sit, have some coffee, you know, etc.
	So now that thing has gone commercial.
	And now it's not cheap, but for $200...
	You can go to the...
	Here's the process, because it was given to me, and so I tried it out, and holy crap, here was the process.
	I walk from my hotel at the airport to the...
	Or as they say...
	This is given to you by these...
	You get some spooks or something dragging you around?
	This is so you can get on the plane easier?
	Yeah.
	But anyone can buy it.
	That's the thing.
	Okay.
	So, hey, are you jealous of my spook friends?
	I think they're fine.
	Yeah, they do good stuff.
	They're the ones that said Trump is going to stay in office?
	So you can book this online, and they'll be ready for you.
	You walk up, or you can be driven up, of course.
	The doors open immediately.
	They whisk you in.
	Right there, it's like, give me your baggage.
	You're checking this in, okay?
	Give me that.
	Give me your passport.
	And I'll take your hand luggage.
	There's two people there.
	They take you upstairs.
	They put you in a nice beautiful room.
	There's a whole barista and breakfast and you want an omelette, Mr.
	Curry.
	You get your own private room to sit with a TV and couches and then the customs guy actually comes in to the room and you give him your passport and he stamps the passport on the spot.
	Oh, that's cool.
	And then it's time to go.
	A dapper young man comes to pick you up.
	He takes you to the private security, which is...
	I mean, it's just like...
	It's the same as anywhere else with a body scanner.
	But they don't open your suitcases.
	You don't have to take off your shoes.
	You don't have to take off your belt.
	Because...
	I don't know.
	They don't see anything ever, I guess.
	Then they put you in an Audi A8 and drive you to the airplane...
	And then you go up the stairs and step right into the airplane, right in the front, and you're seated before anybody else.
	So this would be perfect for anyone who, especially if you got to the airport way too early.
	Mm-hmm.
	Yep.
	And you can just chill.
	Now you do have to make the reservation in advance.
	If you get to the airport at the last minute, it's not going to be worth it.
	I don't think you can do that last minute.
	I think you have to book it ahead of time.
	What's it called?
	It's the VIP Center.
	Where do you book it?
	Schiphol.nl slash VIP. Or as they say in Holland, the FIP Center.
	Come to the FIP Center, we take care of you.
	So, I urged the customs guy, I said, do you want to see my test, my COVID test?
	He said, oh yeah, okay, sure.
	He didn't care.
	And so the flight was uneventful.
	Landed in Dallas.
	Had a transfer in Dallas.
	Go to, you know, go to customs.
	There's sufficient lanes open.
	My global entry is long since expired and I don't do that anymore.
	But here's the process now.
	This is a new process.
	I have not done this yet coming from Europe.
	You stand in your little line and you are called up to the customs agent and you hand him the passport.
	He says, okay, step over in this box, takes a picture.
	Where are you coming from?
	Amsterdam.
	How long were you there?
	One week.
	Did you bring anything back?
	No.
	Welcome home.
	No question about my COVID test.
	Anything like that.
	Pick up my bag.
	There's not even a dog anymore at customs.
	You just walk right out with your bag.
	They don't care.
	It's all theater.
	The whole COVID thing.
	All the testing.
	It's money grab for some and theater for the government.
	Complete horse crap.
	And they've got the face ID going.
	It's beautiful.
	That's a disappointing report.
	I can't help it.
	The only other thing that's crazy...
	Let's just pretend you got patted down or something.
	I'm not going to lie to you.
	We're yelling at you.
	Where's your COVID? There you got your COVID test!
	Bring your COVID test!
	Well, I do have a little bit of that for you because you have to transfer in Dallas to get on the domestic flight to San Antonio.
	And...
	There was a Nazi at TSA there.
	He was just an overseeing Nazi.
	He was just standing there, and the lady behind me, I'm putting all my stuff into the bins and putting my boots in.
	And she says, you can just put your boots on the conveyor belt.
	I said, yeah, but they're nice boots.
	I don't want them to get scuffed up.
	So I put them in the bin, and the guy stops it.
	He's like, stop!
	I'm like, okay.
	And then as I'm doing this, my mask slips down.
	Put your nose up!
	Put your mask up over your nose!
	Now you're talking, now this is the kind of report we're looking for.
	Yeah, and we're back safe and sound.
	One of these days I'll get it right.
	Which one is it?
	It's Brian's.
	And now it's time for 3x3.
	Experiment by JCD. Comparing stories from ABC, CBS, and NBC. Every single Thursday morning, John C. Devorak takes a look at the three major networks, NBC, CBS, and NBC, and checks it out, tells us what the news is.
	And John, today, what are you learning?
	Well, GMA had a very interesting report because there was a golfer who was on, I think, GMA or one of the shows a few days ago, and he was a controversial golfer.
	A college guy, I think, and he was controversial because he put his milk in the cereal bowl before he put the cereal in.
	Wow!
	And this was a whole topic of discussion, including a survey that GMA took of the public, where it turns out that 23% of the public does this.
	And this was a scandal on the show.
	There was a long discussion.
	So this was sponsored by General Mills, I'm presuming?
	I mean, that's a native ad for cereal.
	It's done.
	It's like...
	What cereals were they highlighting?
	Do you recall any brand names?
	No, but they were little O's.
	Cheerios.
	That they showed, yes.
	General Mills.
	General Mills.
	There you go.
	Okay, great.
	So we had a promotion for Cardboard and Sugar, right?
	Yep.
	All right.
	CBS, meanwhile...
	Oh, this woman, this woman, I can't remember her name, Laurie Sekel or something like that, and she's a correspondent, like a millennial or even maybe a Gen Z, nervous, you know, grasping, you know, it's like the librarian kind of grasping at her beads, you know, kind of discussing.
	QAnon and the QAnon casualties.
	And the report is going to be on CBS 60 Minutes.
	Oh, but wait a minute.
	It's going to be the 60 Minutes on Paramount Plus' streaming.
	But that's okay.
	That's what she's doing, this report.
	And she's all...
	It's shitty about, oh, this QAnon casualties and it looks as though it's forming a community and it's causing all kinds of issues and there's lots of self-radicalizing going on on QAnon.
	And it turns out it's going to be a public health crisis.
	Something has to be done.
	I get copied on all those Department of Homeland Security warnings.
	You probably get them from time to time, too.
	There's all kinds of law enforcement officers who listen, and they'll send on a copy.
	So here's the summary.
	The FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and National Counterterrorism Center assess the homegrown violent extremists are unlikely to initiate or accelerate attack plotting solely in response to the upcoming 20th anniversary of 9-11.
	The homegrown violent extremist threat remains difficult to predict and media produced by foreign terrorist organizations referencing 9-11 attacks is likely to reinforce homegrown violent extremist anti-U.S. sentiments.
	We hear this every single year, the 10th anniversary, the 15th anniversary.
	Every time 9-11 comes along, we hear this every year.
	Well, what's interesting here is they say that they're unlikely to do anything, but the propaganda from foreign terrorist organizations will build up their anti-government sentiment.
	Okay.
	Which is...
	Kind of.
	It's like editorializing.
	So they're in close contact with Rita Katz is what they're really saying.
	Yes, exactly.
	Have they ever not been in close contact with Rita Katz?
	So we go back to NBC. First I turn on NBC looking for the shopping thing, but they did talk about a new...
	Two CD set of the reprise Spice Girls songs by Baby Spice.
	Wow!
	It's a bunch of kids that look like 10 of them.
	It's not even the four or whatever it were in Spice Girls.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	There's now 10 Spice Girls?
	Baby Spice.
	Hmm.
	These are millennials' kids or teens.
	But Baby Spice, there was a Baby Spice who was in his 50s.
	All I know is they said Baby Spice and they showed a bunch of tweens jumping around and dancing insane songs.
	So I don't know what they're talking about.
	I hear you.
	I couldn't keep up with it.
	It's too much for me.
	Spice Girls 2.0.
	And then stop the presses because, oh, this is an important announcement.
	Carson Daly had to discuss this.
	The new 180 episodes of Seinfeld are going to be released on Netflix.
	Oh!
	Stop the presses because we've never seen any of this.
	Remember that show?
	Because I don't know that it's ever been on TV ever since it first ran.
	These are such...
	Okay.
	Yeah, but this is what the conundrum of Netflix is.
	They spend a lot of money on top-notch stuff, and they have to fill up the rest to keep people satisfied, and that's why they had the Friends for a year.
	They spent $100 million on that, even though everyone in the world has seen...
	$500 million on this one.
	Oh, that's interesting.
	For, what, do you know the period?
	The whole show.
	No, I mean, for how long do they get it?
	No, they didn't say.
	I wonder if that's just one year.
	But they have to do that because that's the only way they can justify the ever-increasing monthly fees.
	It's getting out of control.
	And it works.
	People watch it.
	I don't.
	Hold on a second.
	While we're talking ratings, you do now agree with me, I hope, that Greg Gutfeld has indeed beaten the main network nighttime ratings for their late night shows.
	I'm looking at that.
	I didn't get the data because I just watched this.
	I'm looking at my schedule.
	Greg Gutfeld is not opposite those shows.
	Ah, he is only opposite those shows on the East Coast.
	He's opposite.
	He's normally, in West Coast, prime time.
	I do not compare a prime time rating, I don't care where it is, to one of those shows that's at 11.30 at night.
	So that's bullshit.
	Well, there's a deconstruction of it that counters what you're saying, but it's not important because you've made your mind up.
	I've made my mind it because I'm seeing Greg Gutfeld on the West Coast, which is a large market.
	We've got three major markets back here.
	We've got Seattle, we've got LA, which is the biggest city in the country, and San Francisco.
	It runs at 8 o'clock.
	Yes.
	Correct.
	And then you take a nose rating and compare them to the 11.30 Colbert Show.
	It's not a comparison.
	He also does not run at all in the 11.30 slot.
	And you should look at the competition in that prime time slot.
	Regardless, it's an amazing change in the landscape.
	Coming from cable from the days when it was mocked...
	No, I agree with that a thousand percent.
	It's just that it's not a show at the same time, at the same place.
	It's just that...
	It's like...
	It just doesn't...
	I'm not buying it.
	You know, I made a note to myself to mention to you that you're saying I'm not buying it a lot.
	And if you want me to talk about what you're buying...
	Okay, I'm not buying the fact that I'm saying I'm not buying it a lot.
	All right, continue with your NBC report, please.
	Okay, now let's finish up.
	So I got sick.
	The NBC thing was so bad, I switched to the other one.
	Then I went back to NBC, and there was this horrible, it was a very heartwarming report about a woman who had, I guess, I'd never caught the beginning of it, but I think it was bone marrow transplant to save her life.
	And they brought in the guy who gave the bone marrow transplant.
	For a reunion.
	Yeah, it was one of those things.
	And so they're all gushing over it.
	And this woman giving the NBC woman, she's going on and on.
	It goes something like this.
	Oh, and I think the guy whose name is Gates.
	Oh, and Mr.
	Gates, you had...
	He's a big...
	Burly guy with a big red beard.
	Oh, and I understand you had anxiety, and you overcome the anxiety.
	And the anxiety that you had made it pretty hard for you to do, but you overcome the anxiety and the anxiety and the anxiety.
	And then the anxiety, how did you feel afterwards with the anxiety and the anxiety and the anxiety?
	And she seemed a little preoccupied with this anxiety thing.
	And the report continued...
	About how he brought his daughter to some of the procedures.
	And did she suffer anxiety?
	Because there was any anxiety in her part.
	You're teaching her.
	So you can show her that she won't have anxiety when she has anything like this.
	She won't have anxiety.
	So this goes on.
	And as they're going to wrap it, the woman who's there who had the transplant says, Can I say something?
	LAUGHTER I just want to point out you're saying the word anxiety a lot.
	Yeah, I am.
	And so the woman says, can I say...
	Now, if she was a professional broadcaster, the way you get...
	When you get stuck in anyone out there, I always get stuck in one of these situations where you didn't get to talk.
	You mean stranded.
	You say, well, I'd like to say something.
	Or you say, I'd like to say something.
	You can just jump in and say that.
	Most people, you know, it's a cue.
	Yeah.
	But can I say something was kind of insulting.
	Sadness.
	And I loved it.
	I wonder what the anxiety question was all about.
	Was there some drug for pre-op drug or something?
	No, no, no.
	It was the woman, I've never seen this interviewer before.
	She was just, she was anxiety prone and she was preoccupied with anxiety.
	She had the anxiety.
	Oh, maybe she had to, maybe she's thinking of being a donor for a family member.
	No, no, no, no.
	She's just an anxious woman.
	Oh, okay.
	Okay.
	Poor woman.
	So the woman who got the transplant got to say something, finally.
	The anxious woman got very spooked by this, of course, because she's anxious.
	And what she wanted to say was she wanted to thank the guy.
	They never allowed her to do that, and then they're going to have some online event for him or something like that.
	Then it ended.
	But it was actually, except for the interviewer, because NBC is full of incompetent boobs, except for her, it was a good idea.
	Well, the reunion show like that is fantastic, but you've got to do it like Ellen does it, you know, not about bitching about anxiety.
	It's like, you've got to be, do you feel it?
	Yes, I feel him.
	I think I feel some of his personality in me.
	I mean, those are the things you want, right?
	That's what you want.
	Yeah, yeah.
	No, that's what you want, but she gives me any of that because she's nuts about this anxiety issue.
	The topper would be, if we were producing it, because obviously we know how to do these things, this guy, this big burly guy with a red beard, we put him in a MAGA hat for the introduction.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I know how to do this.
	I know how to do these things.
	We both know.
	This is just how it goes.
	The MAGA hat would do the trick.
	So I chatted with Joe, who indeed, you know, he had, he got COVID over the weekend.
	Joe Rogan.
	Joe Rogan, he had COVID over the weekend.
	He got it at a comedy show.
	Wait, just go back to, he got, was he vaccinated?
	Well, so this is what's making the media crazy, and it's fantastic, and I think this will be, I told him, I said, you watch, this is going to be really, really big.
	Because he has never explicitly said, to my knowledge, that he has been vaccinated.
	I think he once mentioned that he was going to get it, but then, you know, they had to cancel the appointment.
	I am 99.99% sure he's vaccinated.
	I wouldn't ask him.
	He wouldn't ask me either.
	So I just refuse to do that.
	I have the impression that he would get vaccinated.
	Oh yeah, but that's kind of the beauty of Rogan, is there's so many things are mysterious, you just don't know, because he really doesn't communicate, doesn't really interact with people, he posts stuff.
	And he doesn't really talk about himself that way in his show, just people don't know it.
	So we've had a number of these reports, and let me see, I think I have an example.
	It's like radio show host, anti-vaxxer radio, here, conservative radio host who called himself Mr.
	Anti-Vaxx dies after COVID-19 battle!
	Ha ha ha ha!
	So they're looking for this.
	And there's been two or three of these either podcaster or radio hosts who immediately qualify as anti-vax.
	And then when they get sick and die, of course, it's all of COVID, not with COVID. You're just dead.
	So with Joe, they don't really know.
	So what they focused in on is the ivermectin.
	So he posted a video But I'm going to play all of that.
	I got the clips.
	So, in our private conversation, he did say to me, obviously, we don't need vaccines.
	And I took that to mean He's a breakthrough case, and he was able to solve it in a couple of days.
	That's exactly what that would mean.
	So that's how I took it.
	That's the way anyone would take it.
	You might as well say, well, I guess the vaccines don't work.
	Pretty much.
	Pretty much that.
	So what's cool about this is the media is flipping out.
	I mean, they are beside themselves because they don't know what to do.
	I mean, Joe Rogan, and now it's all focused on ivermectin because he made that very clear that that was...
	Now, really, the monoclonal...
	How do I pronounce that?
	Monoclonal.
	Monoclonic.
	The monoclonal.
	He said, that's really what it is.
	He said, that kills the virus.
	Right away, that does it.
	And then the ivermectin is important for all the obvious reasons that we know about ivermectin, but that's what we cannot have.
	And by the way, the monoclonal treatment is also not FDA approved, as far as I know, at this time.
	You know, experimental use only.
	So the media is focusing on the ivermectin.
	And I'll give you a quick example of...
	And this is NPR... Joe Rogan says he has COVID-19 and is taking unproven drug ivermectin in the story.
	This is unbelievable reporting.
	There's hundreds of reports.
	Oh, just wait for it.
	Rogan says he took a drug the FDA urges people not to use.
	This is NPR.
	That included taking ivermectin, a deworming veterinary drug that is formulated for use in cows and horses.
	While a version of the drug is sometimes prescribed to people for head lice or skin conditions, the formula for animal use is much more concentrated.
	The Food and Drug Administration is urging people to stop ingesting the animal version of the drug to fight COVID-19, warning it can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, neurologic disorders, and potentially severe hepatitis requiring hospitalization.
	Now, of course, hepatitis.
	I'm sorry?
	How do you get hepatitis from ivermectin?
	It doesn't make any sense.
	What's interesting here is they can't really say ivermectin is dangerous, so they make it look as if Joe took horse paste on a rich cracker.
	You know, that's basically what they're doing.
	Well, you're down in Texas, you're a bunch of dumb shits.
	What do you expect to happen?
	Exactly.
	So, when this hits CNN, that's when shit got real.
	That's when it got really funny.
	We'll start with Anderson Pooper with the intro.
	More breaking news this evening.
	Joe Rogan, an extremely popular podcaster, announced on social media today that he has COVID. Rogan has said young, healthy people don't need to get vaccinated.
	In his statement on social media, Rogan said he has taken several therapeutics to recover.
	See, what they'd like to do is they'd like to nail him on the, you know, you shouldn't take a vaccine if you're young and healthy, but they know that he got the vaccine too.
	Turns out I got COVID. So we immediately threw the kitchen sink out of all kinds of meds, monoclonal antibodies, ivermectin, Z-Pak, prednisone.
	Isn't prednisone a cancer drug?
	It's a steroid used for all kinds of things.
	Oh, okay.
	Prednisone, everything.
	One of those drugs he mentioned, ivermectin, is something more often used to deworm horses.
	CDC says there's no evidence it works on COVID. Its increased usage has only led to a substantial increase in overdoses after a push by some on the far right, ceding vaccine misinformation.
	Yeah, the far right, once again, it's a completely non-political story, but we've got to make it political, and when you want to do a medical story about a medicine that there's dispute over, it's obvious who you call in for this.
	On CNN, there's only one person, and that is Brian Seltzerwater.
	Yeah, and he is one of the most influential figures in all of media, especially among young men.
	He has a podcasting deal with Spotify worth $100 million.
	$100 million!
	He's all jacked about it!
	He has a podcasting deal with Spotify worth $100 million.
	But in the past, he has downplayed the vaccine.
	And in this case, he seems to have admitted he has COVID because it's hurting him in the pocketbook.
	He had to postpone or reschedule one of his upcoming stage shows.
	So you'd think the economic consequences might get people's attention and make his fans think differently about the threat of COVID. But he's trying to portray this as if he is feeling better now.
	He's doing better now because of this cocktail of drugs and medications that he has taken.
	Of course, some of these are under emergency youth authorizations.
	Others have been discouraged by the CDC and the FDA. But when you have a horse deworming medication that's discouraged by the government, that actually causes some people in this crazed environment we're in to actually want to try it.
	That's the upside-down world we're in with figures like Joe Rogan.
	Okay, well this is obviously very bad for people because they're going to all listen to Joe Rogan do what Joe says, and he's trying to kill you with his horse pace.
	And when you have a Brian Seltzer water, you might as well bring in the other comedian, Lena Nguyen, formerly CEO or Executive Director of Planned Parenthood, kicked out and now the CNN medical spokeshole.
	Well, I think there are some people who want to believe that there is a magic pill for COVID, which, of course, we would all want.
	But this is the main issue.
	So with ivermectin, not only are we saying that there's no evidence it works, it goes beyond that.
	We actually know that it doesn't work.
	There was a systematic review looking at 10 randomized controlled trials that have been done, that were done in different countries, looking at different doses of ivermectin, Thank you.
	Thank you.
	It provides this false reassurance.
	People are now going about not getting vaccinated, saying that they can do whatever they want with the understanding that there is this magic pill to save them at the end of the day, except that it's not a magic pill that actually works.
	And in this case, especially because people are using doses that are totally inappropriate.
	I mean, ivermectin is used in humans for things like parasites and scabies.
	But those are at low doses.
	When people are taking them in the very high doses as given for livestock, for horses, for example, then they could get nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, severe skin rash, extremely low blood pressure, and permanent liver damage.
	You could also die from overdoses of ivermectin.
	And I hope that people realize this and heed the advice of public health experts rather than Joe Rogan.
	Oh, my God.
	Okay, well, this is interesting you have all these clips because I have one clip.
	Mm-hmm.
	But this is so important, I guess, that we get this message out.
	Oh, this is going to go on for days.
	It's an international clip.
	Oh, it's going to go on for days, John.
	You can just feel it.
	This is yesterday.
	This is yesterday on France 24.
	Hit piece.
	There's also been a lot of talk in the papers, Alison, still about the pandemic and in particular the latest false miracle drug for COVID-19.
	That's right, false miracle drug.
	So to be clear, doctors say that this does not protect or help work against COVID-19.
	This drug is called ivermectin.
	If you've never heard of it, that's because it's mostly for animals.
	It's used to fight against parasites in horses and other livestock.
	The FDA warns that taking large doses can cause serious harm to humans.
	Still, though, Jeannie, it's become a real problem in the U.S.
	We see in this Guardian article, a judge in Ohio recently ordered a hospital to give ivermectin to a COVID patient whose family was demanding it despite the doctors at the hospital advising against it.
	We've also seen people buying out the pills and the drug that is intended for animals.
	So big problem in the U.S. Meanwhile, a French paper, Le Figaro, has some positive news today about real treatments for COVID-19.
	One of them is a French drug, XAV19, that is almost done with its phase two trials.
	The paper says it could be available in France at least by the end of the year.
	The paper also mentions a drug called Actemra that is already being used in the U.S. successfully and is currently being evaluated by Europe's medical agency.
	So some 70% of adults here in Europe are now vaccinated, but with all of those breakthrough cases, it is always good to know that there are new treatments on the way.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	We got to get this.
	This is very, very annoying because not only are there things like this Actemra treatment, but Pfizer is now developing a twice a day COVID pill.
	They're so confident the pill will be approved and likely mandated, this is according to some piece of shit, that it has started production before the end of the clinical trials.
	And here's the kicker, you take it along with the vaccines.
	I think it's going to be more like, it's going to be mandated because if you accepted the vaccine into your life, you really need these pills to stay alive.
	That's probably true.
	But I will say this.
	Do you think it's a coincidence that this ivermectin treatment, which has been studied to death, and I have a link if you go to my Dvorak.substack.com columns and go back about a year to the...
	The science column is about the belief in science.
	I have links to the research about ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine.
	And those links are ongoing.
	So if you go click on those pages, you'll find hundreds of studies But do you think it's possible that because ivermectin costs about a nickel a pill for human use, as opposed to $10 a pill, there may be a difference in the way people want to approach these things in the news media, which is dominated by payments from the pharmaceutical companies?
	Do you think a nickel a pill might just have something to do with this?
	Really now?
	Of course.
	Or the fact they were even given the ivermectin out in Goa.
	We have the picture of the blister pack.
	Yeah.
	Well, I think that it's such a mess at the FDA in particular.
	Now, you can go to bingit.io and search for ivermectin study as well.
	You'll find a lot of these studies.
	I mean, if you were to only go by the studies that were sanctioned by the CDC, were the ones that were giving ivermectin to late-stage COVID people.
	To a person on his deathbed.
	Yeah, that's not when it's going to work very well.
	But the amount of studies that show that it does.
	And what's interesting is hydroxychloroquine has kind of fallen by the wayside.
	I think that's largely because ivermectin works better.
	Right.
	Yeah, you take them together.
	I don't know if you...
	Take them together.
	Yeah, you can take them together.
	It's not a problem.
	I'm a doctor.
	You can trust me.
	So the FDA is a mess.
	And so two top FDA regulators resigned.
	Let me see.
	I have a little blurb here.
	Former FDA Bigwig told biotech outlet Endpoints that the pair complained that the CDC and specifically its Advisory Committee on Immunization had seized the right to make decisions that had previously been left up to the FDA. The researchers were supposedly upset with With marks, I'm not sure who that is in the story, for not standing up against the CDC. The Biden's administration to announce a third round of mRNA booster shots without consulting them was the last straw.
	And the reason why it's the last straw is because eight months ago, they had the Alzheimer drug that also was just approved recently.
	Yeah, the one that doesn't work at all.
	Yeah, and it's like all these people are like, no, this doesn't work.
	And going back to the FDA approval of the Cominardi, the advisory board was not consulted on this.
	The refusal of the FDA and its acting director Janet Woodcock to convene its Drugs Advisory Committee for discussion of the Pfizer and BioNTech decisions is quite shocking.
	According to NPR, three experts have now resigned from the advisory committee after the agency approved an Alzheimer's drug called Aduhelm against the wishes of nearly every member on the panel.
	I mean, it's so obvious that this is just about money.
	Woodcock's a bad actor.
	Yeah, she is.
	Oh, big time.
	Big time.
	Um...
	This is just one other thing.
	One of our producers sent this to me.
	There's two people in the FDA. It kind of shows you how swampy it is.
	Fred Hahn, H-A-H-N, he authorized Moderna's vaccine six months ago.
	Now, he is former FDA Chief Hahn.
	He has joined a biotech venture firm.
	You've got to love that.
	So he'll be investing.
	And then Emer Cook, long-time lobbyist, Imer, I think her name is.
	Starting in 1985, she held various positions in the pharmaceutical industry from 1991 to 1998.
	She was a board member of the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations, which is a lobbying firm.
	Spent eight years lobbying for the Big 30 on European pharmaceutical industry, including Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Novartis, Johnson& Johnson.
	She was appointed as the Head of Regulation of Medicines, Other Health Technologies with the World Health Organization.
	In November, she was appointed executive director of the EMA, the European Medical Agency.
	Also took the position of chairperson at the International Coalition of Medicine's regulatory authorization.
	It's one big cesspool.
	No one ever reports on it because they're being fed by them, I guess.
	So, here's Chris Hazer on MSNBC making sure that you know that these anti-vaxxers like Joe Rogan, you know, cannot be trusted and you will probably meet your maker like that.
	Listen to me.
	Listen to me instead.
	17 of the nearly 600 people arrested in connection with the January 6th insurrection have this guy as their lawyer.
	His name is John Pierce.
	He's an anti-vaccine conservative lawyer who recently tweeted, quote, the entire 82nd Airborne couldn't make me get an experimental government vaccine stuck in my arm.
	Well, now it seems like those 17 people he represents are without representation, and that is because he is reportedly sick with COVID and on a ventilator, according to federal prosecutors.
	This week, a conservative talk show host named Mark Bernier, a guy who spoke out against the vaccine, died of COVID at the age of 65.
	He's the third conservative radio host who publicly rejected vaccines to die of the virus.
	A Texas man named Caleb Wallace who led anti-mask rally last year in his state and protested coronavirus mitigation efforts as recently as June, died this week of the virus.
	He was only 30 years old.
	He leaves behind a pregnant wife and three children.
	What a horribly...
	He's just an egotistical man.
	I'll tell you this, that reporting is sick.
	There's plenty of people that died who had the vaccine.
	There's plenty of people who died from the vaccine.
	There's plenty of people who die.
	And the fact that Chris Hayes would do this, it shows you what a sleazebag, douchebag, sleazeball douchebag this guy is.
	I mean, he is the worst.
	This is unconscionable.
	I've been thinking about all these people.
	I can go on.
	Yeah, these people yakking about Joe Rogan.
	None of them says, hey, I hope he's okay.
	I hope he feels better.
	No one ever says that.
	No.
	Why would you do that?
	Here's Herr Dr.
	Fauci with the Tapmeister talking about eating horse paste.
	Poison control centers are reporting that their calls are spiking in places like Mississippi and Oklahoma because some Americans are trying to use an anti-parasite horse drug called ivermectin to treat coronavirus, to prevent contracting coronavirus.
	What would you tell someone who is considering taking that drug?
	Don't do it.
	There's no evidence whatsoever that that works and it could potentially have toxicity, as you just mentioned, with people who have gone to poison control centers because they've taken the drug at a ridiculous dose and wind up getting sick.
	There's no clinical evidence that indicates that this works.
	And what's so cool about this is they're not lying here.
	Absolutely spot on.
	There is no clinical evidence that eating horse paste works.
	The way they're representing it is not a lie.
	It's a lie by omission.
	Yeah.
	Yes, you're going to get killed at these doses.
	But they're all talking about high, super high doses.
	Of horse paste.
	Of horse paste.
	Yeah, that's true.
	And they just do that over and over and over again.
	But there's all kinds of...
	Every one of the clips you've played has always had the same thing about the high dose.
	There's no proof that this super high dose that will kill you is going to help.
	I mean, it's what they're essentially saying.
	That's not what you're supposed to be using.
	Yes.
	What are you going to do?
	Well, the problem is it's all politicized, and Anthony Fauci is in the middle of it.
	We've all seen the great Heil Fauci remixes.
	National Geographic is doing a documentary about The Good Doctor.
	I'll spare you the trailer.
	It really doesn't work without the visuals.
	But it's really all about Fauci being attacked.
	And it's him at home with his wife.
	And, you know, just the attacks and the death threats.
	And, of course, this documentary drops...
	On September 11th.
	Well, they should pick it up.
	It drops on September 11th, probably to make Fauci look like even more of a hero.
	And he was moaning about it with Tapper.
	Six weeks ago, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' re-election campaign committee started selling shirts and more that say, don't Fauci my Florida, and attacking what he called Fauciism.
	Now, just in the six weeks since the governor's re-election campaign launched those products...
	Fauciism.
	More than 5,000 Floridians have died of coronavirus.
	What do you make of the way some of these governors and politicians are attacking you?
	Well, I mean, whoever is attacking me and attacking me, just a reflection of the politicization of what should be a purely public health issue.
	And it's really unfortunate.
	You know, they're attacking personally me because I'm a visible person, but I'm merely articulating the proper public health practices that are recommended strongly by an organization.
	And that organization is the CDC.
	So they like to pick out a certain person because they could make that person, you know, the personification of political divides, which is so unfortunate, Jake.
	We should put all of that aside.
	We have an extraordinary problem that's killing people in the United States, killing us, killing us in the hospital.
	So that kind of politicization that you just mentioned, there's no place for that when you're dealing with a public health crisis.
	Peace.
	And this is just a fun little 20 seconds.
	Just being reported seconds ago, Gene Simmons is now COVID positive following in the steps of Paul Stanley being COVID positive.
	Extraordinarily concerning given that they were both extremely vaccinated, fully vaccinated.
	Extremely vaccinated.
	By every measure, very, very serious precautions when they resume their tour.
	I was so proud yesterday.
	I got a text from the millennial.
	And she says, hey, this vaccine doesn't work.
	I was like, oh, that's good.
	The second text.
	You know, this is crazy.
	Why are they forcing people to do this?
	I'm like, oh my gosh.
	If the millennial is seeing it, we're on the brink.
	We're on the brink of a real breakthrough.
	There's some weird news about Moderna.
	Once again, this is now the second time this has happened in Japan.
	Authorities in Japan have reported another suspected case of contamination in Moderna's coronavirus vaccines, the fourth such incident in less than a week.
	The health ministry said on Wednesday that contaminants in at least one of the incidents were found to be particles of stainless steel.
	It added that it did not expect the incident would pose an additional health risk.
	The findings were the result of an investigation by domestic distributor Takeda Pharmaceutical.
	Takada said the most probable cause of the contamination was related to friction between two pieces of metal in the machinery that put stoppers on the vials.
	The company was citing a joint investigation with Moderna and Rovi, which bottles Moderna vaccines.
	The country suspended the use of over 1.6 million doses of Moderna shots last week after being notified of contamination in some of the supply.
	The latest incident comes from Kanagawa Prefecture, Where almost 3,800 people had already received shots from the contaminated lot, but the rest is put on hold.
	The Japanese government said earlier that the particles in some incidents may be pieces of rubber caused from needles that were incorrectly inserted into vials, breaking off bits of the rubber stopper.
	This is not good.
	And this could be industrial sabotage.
	Oh yeah.
	I mean, stainless steel?
	Yeah, something's up with this.
	This is like, these guys are out of control, and I'm, again, looking at Pfizer.
	By the way, the website people should go to is ivmmeta.com, and there you'll see the peer-reviewed studies about ivermectin.
	Back to Moderna for a second.
	There was a truck filled with Moderna vaccine that overturned in West Virginia 1.3 million doses of the vaccine.
	And they called out hazmat.
	They closed the airspace.
	Why did they call it hazmat?
	How bad is that stuff?
	Well, that's the closing the airspace.
	Close the airspace.
	You gotta wonder.
	Again, let's take a look at it from the perspective of marketing.
	Let's say you're the guy, you're the dirty trickster working at, let's say, I'm just guessing, Pfizer.
	And you wanted to make a fuss.
	You'd have somebody knock the truck over.
	Some boys.
	Have some boys do it.
	Hey, we'll do the thing for you.
	No problem.
	How much are you going to get?
	So you do the truck.
	And then you call the different authorities and say, Oh my God, I'm representing Moderna.
	You've got to close the airspace.
	You've got to bring hazmat out.
	Or you bring your own hazmat guys out that are phonies.
	That's what you do.
	That may not have even been necessarily the case, because if you are the Moderna guy, and you knew, not the Pfizer guy, but you're the Moderna guy, and you knew that these 1.3 million doses were headed to Ghana, you might have known it was really in them.
	Well, I'm going to stick with my thesis.
	You can stick with your crackpot.
	Close the airspace!
	In the meantime, though, this is the New England Journal of Medicine came across the transom yesterday.
	Resurgence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in a highly vaccinated health system workforce.
	And it's reporting on all of these workforces that have been vaccinated up to 76%, but that the infections within that group had risen 83%.
	And, you know, it's a very, it's interesting, it's a technical article, but they...
	Nobody wants to talk about this stuff.
	It's good stuff.
	I mean, if we're running a newsroom, this would be the good stuff you want to run, but you can't do it because the damn pharma companies are paying the bills.
	I actually have a great example of that with our buddy here.
	I thought I had...
	Maybe I got rid of that.
	I thought I had a Greg Gutfeld clip.
	He was just...
	Oh, my goodness.
	What was her name now?
	Hold on.
	Let me find it.
	Kat Timkins?
	No, no.
	Lisa Booth was on.
	Oh.
	Well, shoot.
	I guess I didn't clip it for some reason.
	Something went wrong there.
	But she was just going on about, you know, choice.
	And Gutfeld was just like, well, but all the documents, you know, it really does show that it is working.
	Like, holy crap, man.
	What's wrong with you?
	He works there.
	Yeah.
	If you work there, you'd do the same thing, I'm sure, for the kind of money he's making.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	No, you would.
	That's what you do.
	How many people, say you make a few million a year, I don't know what Gutfeld makes, but he probably makes five.
	Yeah, that would say.
	And I'm guessing at least.
	And then, what are you going to do?
	Oh, I'm going to stand up for my rights.
	I'm going to tell it like it is.
	And then I'm going to go to work with a local station for $100,000?
	That's not going to happen.
	No, you're probably right.
	You're probably right.
	Or you could just come out and just be honest about it, like a former NBA star who's Australian.
	What's this guy's name?
	He played for the Warriors, actually.
	Andrew Bogut.
	Here's what he had to say.
	Last year, about three or four months into this pandemic, I got a message from somebody.
	I'm not going to name who it was or where it came from.
	I got offered money to put out a public service announcement for you everyday plebs to stay home.
	We'll hear something like this.
	Hi, I'm Andrew Bogut, former NBA washed-up athlete, former Olympian, whatever you want to call it.
	It's your duty to stay home.
	Do the right thing for the community.
	I've got money in my bank account.
	I'm good.
	I'm fine.
	I can fill up my fridge with food.
	I've got cars.
	I can even somewhat get to different parts of the world if I really wanted to.
	But you, stay home.
	Do the right thing for the community.
	We are all in this together.
	I refuse to do that shit.
	And I was offered money for it.
	I don't need the money.
	You're right.
	I was offered money for it.
	I refuse to do that shit.
	Now, that's a personal choice I made because I knew that I was that person that I'd be giving the message to when I was a kid.
	I was once that person that was told, you're not essential.
	Take the community, stay home.
	How come a former, as he says, washed up NBA player How come he can get money offered, but a washed-up VJ can't?
	I mean, I got some props, don't I? I mean, why are they not approaching me?
	They've listened to the show once.
	He's beyond help.
	Well, since you're on the topic of all this stuff, I want you to read the letter.
	Yes, on deck.
	Just so we can balance our coverage a bit.
	This is from Sir Dodger.
	And Sir Dodger writes...
	So one of my employees tells me over the weekend his friend went and got his vaccine and within two days he was, quote, feeling off and decided to go to the hospital after having chest pains.
	He wound up spending three days hospitalized.
	He says his balls turned black and was hemorrhaging in different parts of his body and had to be resuscitated once.
	He had received the J&J vaccine.
	Just thought you'd like to know.
	What's with the black balls?
	I've never heard this one.
	Black balls.
	Maybe people are too reluctant to talk about it.
	Is that like the same...
	It's a version of heavy flow.
	Is that a joke?
	Almost all the women complain about this.
	Yes.
	Well, no, isn't it more like the black eye?
	Oh, the black eye?
	Yeah, it's like the black eye.
	The black eye, the black balls.
	That means comic strip blogger will be doing an artwork based on this.
	If you see a guy with black balls and a black eye, he should be avoided.
	Back to mandates, masks, shots, and freedom passports.
	My brothers and sister in Australia, I am watching you.
	I feel horrible what's going on.
	It is unbelievable how the prison colony of Australia is treating its citizens.
	I mean, the new restrictions as of, well, it's already taken place because now it's September 3rd there.
	Playgrounds will reopen with strict rules to keep everyone safe.
	Playgrounds for children under 12 only, one parent or caregiver.
	Adults should not remove their masks to eat or drink.
	Playgrounds will have QR codes for checking in.
	Now, when 70% of Victorians have at least one vaccine dose, we will look to ease restrictions a little further.
	At that point, the 5-kilometer radius will expand to 10, so exercise and shopping can take place up to 10 kilometers from your home.
	A bunch of control freaks that government has to be filled with.
	So they have extended, the government has extended their COVID-19 emergency powers to mid-December, and that has resulted in the following, of which I have a report.
	They're the new laws the Morrison government claims will help authorities defeat the most depraved criminals operating in the darkest underbelly of cyberspace.
	Passed by the Senate yesterday, the Identity and Disrupt Bill gives federal police agencies the power to spy on suspects and even take over their online personas.
	This is a pretty extraordinary power that these police are going to now be able to have to really crack down on The bill was passed with bipartisan support.
	It is vital we continue to work constructively in the interest of national security.
	But the new powers prompted concern from the minor parties.
	The two major parties are in complete lockstep with each other and they are leading us down the road to a surveillance state.
	The Federal Police will now have three new types of warrants at its disposal.
	Data disruption warrants, allowing them to change the data belonging to those suspected of criminal activity and disrupt offences such as the distribution of child abuse material.
	Network activity warrants, enabling them to collect evidence on the dark web and anonymising technologies, and account takeover powers, allowing police to take control of a person's online account.
	Previously, law enforcement needed someone's consent in order to take over their online account.
	But now, Australian Federal Police will be able to do so without that person necessarily realizing.
	That's pretty interesting.
	They can just assume your account.
	I'm sorry, we're from the government.
	We're here to take over your account, Mr.
	Curry.
	And it wouldn't be so concerning if you don't think about them being a member of Five Eyes.
	And this is how it works, you know?
	So now they can spy all they want.
	I don't know how it works with the...
	Oh, that's a great...
	Yes, yes, yes.
	You're nailing it.
	Yeah.
	So this is what...
	With the GCHQ, that's spying on Trump.
	It was all done in the UK, as far as I know.
	Yes.
	So now they can spy...
	So just because it's Australia doesn't mean we shouldn't be thinking about it.
	That's a very good bit.
	Maybe this whole thing is...
	A scheme so they can take over our accounts.
	In the US? Yeah.
	That would seem a stretch, but...
	Well, why not?
	I like the...
	You just brought it up.
	I'm in agreement.
	I like that they can do network snooping, too.
	And anonymizing technologies, which to me means they're going to mess around with cryptography and encryption.
	New South Wales, the Premier, said something really funny.
	Not funny, but I don't know if it was intentional or a gaffe or if you really meant it.
	It was hard to parse.
	This is, I've said a couple of times, really a pandemic and epidemic of the unvaccinated.
	When we do see people who are fully vaccinated, hospitalised or horribly die, often there are other conditions associated with that.
	So let's be very clear.
	Now, why is she saying it's a pandemic of the unvaccinated and then subsequently says, you know, we're seeing people fully vaccinated horribly die?
	Is this a gaffe or is she blaming people dying horribly on the unvaccinated?
	The unvaccinated are blamed for everything.
	I've said a couple of times, really a pandemic and epidemic of the unvaccinated.
	When we do see people who are fully vaccinated, hospitalised or horribly die, often there are other conditions associated with that.
	So let's be very clear.
	The evidence is quite stark.
	And I say to the other states, don't assume because you don't have cases today, you won't tomorrow or the day after.
	Get ready.
	Get ready.
	Yeah, I heard what she said was, when the vaccinated horribly die, there's other circumstances.
	They're not dying from COVID. They're dying from something else.
	Ah.
	She took an extra stretch.
	It was a little gotcha in there.
	Extra stretch.
	Yeah, very good.
	What failed in the United States appears to be working.
	It looks like they're blocking off all of the entrances into New South Wales.
	It's the truckies to the rescue down under.
	Okay.
	Great to have you with us.
	We begin with breaking news from Queensland, where truck drivers are right now protesting over mandatory vaccination on the Gold Coast.
	Today, Queensland reporter Jessica Millwood is at Reedy Creek.
	Jessica, good morning to you.
	What's the scene like there now?
	It's complete and utter chaos, Alex.
	Let me show you.
	These two trucks are pulled up here on the M1 southbound at Reedy Creek, and you can see that the traffic stretched back for kilometres.
	One of the truckies is joining me now.
	Brock, why have you guys done this today?
	Mate, end all lockdowns, people go back to work and kids go back to school.
	That's what we want out of it.
	We've had enough of it.
	You've had a lot of support, people driving past and beating.
	There's a lot of support, mate.
	The people that are showing up today is amazing.
	So we appreciate everyone that's come down.
	And these guys in blue, mate, they've been very...
	I'll get my cameraman to show you here, Alex, because there are police here and they just came up to you in Brock and said that if you don't move your truck, you're going to be towed.
	Yeah, so that's unfortunately, that's just the way it is.
	There's risk in everything to do, but these blokes have been pretty lenient.
	It's not often the hate against them.
	They do a great job.
	We respect everything they do, but it's all about choice at the end of the day.
	You know, if you don't want to get the vax, don't get the vax.
	If you do want to get it, get it.
	I don't care, but just don't keep locking up people.
	Alright.
	They've backed up the traffic and they're doing something novel.
	What happened to our backup?
	What happened to our truckers?
	Yeah, it was not well organized.
	And also, they've been locked down for almost six months now.
	They're really sick of it.
	And they've really been locked down.
	Not just what we've been through.
	And so these guys, they're parking their trucks side by side.
	There's kilometers or kilometers, as she said, of traffic backed up.
	But what they're doing is they're taking out...
	There's these bolts, these long bolts that...
	Those are part of the air compressor for the air brakes.
	You remove that bolt and the air brake is locked tight.
	You can't tow the truck.
	And unless you have enough air bolts to put back on every single trucker who's done that, it could stay there for a while.
	I'm looking at maps here that people are sending me.
	It's every single road is just backed up and blocked.
	And no reporting, except for this, the local report.
	No other reporting anywhere.
	This is not the idea that you should be looking at this and thinking things.
	Well, thank you, news media, for letting us know what's going on in the world.
	I don't care.
	I don't care.
	One of our own made some news waves.
	And that is Dame Lindsay.
	Now, Dame Lindsay, we've been talking, or I've been talking about her.
	She's been keeping me up to speed.
	They have Nolicek Meats.
	They're a small meat processor in Wisconsin.
	They've got nine people.
	It's a family business.
	They make some of the best brats in the world.
	They sure do.
	And the FDA said, look, you have to have your people wearing masks when our inspectors come by.
	By itself, not a huge problem because it's just a mask.
	To which Dame Lindsay said, yeah, exactly.
	It's just a mask.
	I don't want to do it.
	I don't want to subject my people to it.
	When the CDC changed their recommendations, we said, okay, if you want to wear a mask, everyone has to act responsibly.
	Do whatever you feel is right for you, and just to have the FDA throw some kind of requirement on top of it under the penalty of not getting their USDA stamp of approval, which means they can't sell to wholesale, they refused.
	And they went back and forth, and she went on a local radio show, and she pled her case, and I was really proud to hear what she had to say.
	It's nothing that we haven't discussed on the show already.
	And she is standing up for her rights.
	She's very brave.
	The whole company and family are very brave.
	But what I thought was extra special is how she gave the show a couple of nods along the way.
	It's not like we don't believe in the fact that this was serious and this is something to pay attention to, but it comes a point where the personal responsibility and accountability needs to trump the shut-up slave and put a mask on and do what we say, because it's not going to end unless we say that.
	Right, and I mean, you know, the question...
	Here's actually how the interview started.
	Hold on, these are a little low in volume.
	Just jack that up a little bit.
	Yeah, so here's how the interview started.
	As I'm babbling along, I've got a guest in-house.
	Welcome, Lindsay, to the program.
	Hey, in the morning, Meg.
	Thank you so much for having me.
	Okay.
	The host never blinked for a second.
	This is an interesting phenomenon because other people have done this.
	Nobody seems to blink from in the morning.
	If you just say in the morning.
	Yeah.
	Because it's like, maybe it gives you a beat of, what does that mean?
	But generally speaking, it just sounds like in the morning.
	Yeah, in the morning.
	Okay, I guess people say that.
	I don't know.
	In the morning.
	And then, of course, the classic staple.
	All kinds of great places.
	It's really fun to come over to Thorpe.
	So thank you so much for having me, Meg.
	Thank you for your courage.
	God bless you.
	Thank you.
	I'm going to go right...
	Oh, God.
	Nailed it.
	Thank you for your courage.
	Nailed it.
	Nailed it.
	Those are the big...
	Yeah, she nailed the big three.
	Shut up, slave, in the morning, and thank you for your courage.
	That's probably the trifecta for our show.
	Very, very impressive.
	Very, very impressive.
	As opposed to...
	Oh, by the way, listen to www.noagendashow.com.
	Right.
	Nolacek Meats.
	It's a little harder to sneak in.
	Nolacek, N-O-L-E-C-H-E-C-K-Meats.com.
	NolacekMeats.com.
	They, of course, can still sell to you and support them.
	I think that's a good idea, especially these smaller companies who really can't stand up against the Tysons and they're being scrunched.
	It sucks.
	No good.
	Two quick emails on the mandates.
	This was actually very interesting.
	One of our producers sent this.
	It came from a school for his kids.
	The Caddo Parish Schools Health will be conducting voluntary COVID-19 testing in the schools after Labor Day.
	This is a non-invasive test and will be administered under the direction of the LSU Health I'm in!
	Me too!
	This is great!
	Now wait a minute, what is a non-invasive COVID test?
	It's not possible.
	Well, if it's a swab in your nose, it's anything but non-invasive.
	It's very invasive.
	Very invasive.
	A swab in your mouth is invasive.
	Maybe they just scan you with some...
	You spit?
	You spit in a jar?
	Maybe it's a tricorder.
	I don't know.
	Tricorder.
	Anonymous doctor writes, in the morning, today, September 1st, day one of the COVID clampdown, hospital-wide initiative to try to force doctors and nurses who refuse the, quote, vaccine to either take it or quit.
	We are all given an enamel pin, which is emblazoned, all in this together, doing my part at Meritus!
	That's the Meritus Medical Center, otherwise known as meritless or murderous, depending on the unit you're on and what kind of day you've had there.
	The hospital suits are not quite mandating the stab, but if you refuse it, you must consent to nasopharyngeal swabbing for a PCR test every week, a process that cannot be done on site but at some remote location with inconvenient hours which force people to test on Saturdays.
	I am, of course, refusing the needle, and I am celebrating my new marginalized status by wearing my commemorative pin over a paper yellow six-point star.
	And he sent a picture.
	Fortunately, I'm not alone.
	I'm enjoying the company of a few other doctors and a bevy of truly woke nurses, ward clerks, lab technicians, and medical assistants.
	The fight is afoot, and this is what is collapsing the healthcare system.
	This is why there's no more beds for a relatively small amount of people who need to be in the COVID wards.
	It's just done.
	Man, there was this beautiful thing that's going on now with the nurses.
	So nurses are quitting because they don't want to accept the vaccine into their life.
	Let me see where this was from.
	This is still the big scandal that is underreported by the mainstream media, is why do so many healthcare workers refuse to take this vaccination?
	And they're the ones who are knowledgeable about things, as opposed to us, the general public, the plebs.
	What they're doing is they're leaving their shoes, like the medical clogs and stuff they wear, they're leaving them by the door as they leave.
	And there's a picture of one in the show notes.
	There's two of these, you know, kind of like what Nurse Helga would wear.
	It's not the most trendy-looking shoes.
	Never.
	They're not trendy-looking shoes.
	This is true.
	Not very trendy-looking shoes.
	It doesn't give you the hot nurse vibe at all.
	And the shoes are on top of a piece of paper which quotes Mark 611, And I quote, And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, leave that place and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.
	And we know how powerful empty shoes are.
	Especially if it's just one.
	We saw a couple of those shots after the couple of airport attacks.
	Photographers know this.
	They'll place a shoe if they have.
	Shoes are extremely powerful.
	Very, very powerful stuff.
	Yeah, it's nothing like a little kid's shoe just on the middle of the road.
	It's beautiful.
	It's nothing like a little empty kid's shoe.
	And then we finally have a new name.
	We've got the new name.
	We've got the new variant.
	So, Julia, there are now two new variants that are really these ones of interest, the ones to watch.
	Tell us about those.
	So, the first one is dubbed Mu after the Greek letter.
	The variant was first detected in Colombia back...
	Hey, is it Mu or Moo?
	Baggy trousers!
	Baggy trousers!
	It's Mew, I think, but as I see it, I say Moo.
	Because this solidifies the Revenge of the Nerds vibe we've been tracking.
	Wasn't it Lambda Lambda Delta Delta and also Lambda Moo?
	In the movie?
	I don't remember that movie.
	I'm telling you, they're naming these things just to mess with us.
	It could be, but they do have one in France.
	Or the one out of South Africa is the one everyone's worked up about because you can do whatever you want.
	C12345 or whatever.
	That's in the report.
	It's in the report.
	In January 2021, and it has since been spotted in South American countries, but also in Europe.
	For now, this variant is only considered as being a variant of interest.
	So it's not the highest category.
	Interest.
	Because one, it has a very low prevalence around the world, but it has an increasing prevalence in Colombia and Ecuador.
	There's also mutations that could indicate that it could evade vaccines.
	Now, you have another variant that you've been hearing about, especially today.
	It's the C12, because in the media, we've been hearing that it is mutating twice as fast as other variants.
	Now, in reality, we should not be as alarmed anymore.
	It has indeed mutated a lot in a very short period of time, but as has other variants such as Delta, it doesn't mean it's going to continue to mutate at that same pace.
	And also, we don't have evidence today that those mutations are changing the behavior of the virus.
	So we have a graph here.
	It appears that you're going to see it appear in red.
	It's at the same level as the Delta.
	By the way...
	Yeah.
	I had this.
	I almost clipped this, but I thought it was a little slow moving.
	But yeah, the cues that she kept throwing cues out to the staff and they never did anything.
	I love it.
	You see by the graph, the graph never shows up.
	Then she looks at it two or three times like, where's my graph?
	So yeah, it was the C1. You got this off France 24.
	Yeah.
	Ever since I've been in the hotel in Amsterdam, like France 24 is good.
	I can't get TRT. I want the Turkish TV. That's pretty good.
	No, you should skip it.
	Go to TYT. It's Turkish.
	No, it's Armenian.
	It's not Turkish.
	It's exactly wrong.
	It's Armenian.
	Okay, let's do boosters real quick.
	As we already discussed, there's been resignations at the FDA over this.
	I don't like that these boosters have been approved that quickly.
	The CDC and the White House appear to be clashing over the timeline for COVID vaccine boosters.
	The Biden administration wants Americans to start getting the extra shots next month, but a CDC panel still isn't clear when initial vaccine effectiveness begins to diminish.
	Meanwhile, new figures show a surge in COVID infections among children, a troubling trend just as schools reopen.
	Thankfully, a lot of these children weren't hospitalized, but nonetheless, the medical community is concerned about the long-term effects for children, you know, affecting their brains, their heart, and their lungs.
	Yeah!
	The federal government is now launching a civil rights investigation into five states that ban mask mandates in schools, claiming the ban violates laws that protect students' rights.
	That's a really interesting case.
	I love it.
	I love that they're going to...
	It's a switcheroo of the highest order.
	Fantastic.
	...is going to sue the states over bans on mandatory masking because it violates their rights.
	Whereas in Texas, if you want to wear a trash bag on your head to school, that's fine.
	It's really insane.
	Now, our Surgeon General, I think this is my last clip, unless you have anything else we can wrap it up.
	I got two.
	Okay, good.
	The Surgeon General, Vivek Murthy.
	You know this guy, this Vivek Murthy?
	You've seen this face?
	Yeah, he's this silly-looking guy.
	Doesn't he look like...
	Big eyes.
	He looks alien to me.
	He's got a big nose and two big eyeballs, and he's just a screwy-looking guy.
	Don't you think he should be the CEO of a tech company, like a Silicon Valley company?
	No, he looks like he should be the next CEO of Google.
	No, no, no.
	He should be of a dating app, like Vaxxer.
	Oh, even better.
	I just came up with an exit strategy.
	Vaxxmatch.
	We are announcing our plan to stay ahead of this virus by being prepared to offer COVID-19 booster shots to fully vaccinated adults 18 years and older.
	They would be eligible for their booster shot eight months after receiving their second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna mRNA vaccines.
	We plan to start this program the week of September 20th, 2021.
	Even though this new data affirms that vaccine protection remains high against the worst outcomes of COVID, we are concerned that this pattern of decline we are seeing will continue in the months ahead, which could lead to reduced protection against severe disease, hospitalization, which could lead to reduced protection against severe disease, hospitalization, and death.
	There's so few people.
	Death.
	So few people.
	Yeah.
	They're always throwing death around.
	But they said there's not going to be any hospitalization and death if you took the two shots.
	No.
	Well, first of all, it's three.
	Now, the World Health Organization does not want the United States to give out any boosters until at least after September.
	Because, you know, all the poor people.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, this is the reports I have.
	Okay.
	This is a democracy now.
	She always has to have the little thing in there, the little needle at the end of her reports.
	This is your friend, your friend, your friend, your boy, Amy.
	Morning.
	COVID vaccine.
	Hold on, hold on, hold on.
	Warning.
	Amy Goodman clip inbound.
	I've been saving that for so long I want to play it.
	Wow!
	You've got to use it a lot.
	I'm going to see more clips if you're going to use that clip.
	I like it.
	Whoever did it.
	I forget, but it's appreciated.
	COVID vaccine Israel.
	Here we go.
	Israel is now offering booster shots to all vaccinated people, which includes children age 12 and older.
	The World Health Organization has repeatedly called on wealthy nations to hold off on booster shots until poorer countries receive their fair share of vaccines.
	Meanwhile, less than 10% of Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied territories are fully vaccinated, according to one tracker.
	Did you say your boy, Amy?
	Is that what you're saying?
	Your boy, Amy.
	Your boy, Amy.
	Yeah, it's real.
	I'm sorry.
	It went down the wrong pipe.
	Israel is such an interesting case because it was the petri dish.
	It was the model country.
	And it's gone so out of control.
	There's a lot of Israelis that I'm working with and talk with on a regular basis.
	They're like, because they have the green passport, because they're double vax, because you can't do anything.
	And now, oh yeah, officially they've changed the passport app.
	You now have to have three.
	And these people are like, no, no, I don't want it.
	Well, let's go back to, I think this is Amy again, and this is the COVID-E, this may not be, I don't know who, I didn't put a moniker or a label on this one, but COVID-EU, this is the EU vaccine report.
	In international coronavirus news, the European Union said Tuesday it's fully vaccinated 70% of all adults.
	European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen urged unvaccinated people to get their shots as soon as possible to avoid a new wave in cases and stop the emergence of new variants.
	Despite the EU milestone, vaccination rates remain low and infections are increasing in poorer Eastern European nations.
	Yeah.
	So, she's blaming the unvaccinated for the variants when it's a fairly well-known fact that shooting up everybody with the vaccine and then having...
	During a pandemic.
	During a pandemic.
	During a pandemic, and then you get your breakthrough cases, and then that's where the variants come from?
	So, they're just lying to us?
	Lying...
	Well, how many times have you heard them saying that the only way to herd immunity is vaccination?
	I mean, it's like I keep having to remind myself when one of our producers sends me, like Israel.
	Israel is a good example.
	Cases skyrocketing.
	This is cases, man.
	It's cases.
	It's PCR not intended as a test.
	It could just be that people are freaked.
	More people are going to get tested.
	It's meaningless.
	And after two years, I know I'm tired of remembering all this stuff.
	Why don't they track cases based on PCR with an actual case of COVID?
	Come again?
	If they're just going to call these cases infections, which they also do, could you say that you, oh, I got tested positive on the PCR test, that means I've got COVID, that means now I'm going to be a COVID survivor, so I don't need the vaccine?
	I mean, they don't track any of this stuff.
	They just throw raw numbers at us and percentages.
	Oh, it went up 40%.
	And now people are catching on.
	They're just catching on.
	No, they're not.
	Oh, the millennials catching on.
	Yes, I think they are.
	I think people are catching on.
	You're an optimist.
	You're the optimist.
	I've got to be the optimist.
	I have much longer to live, theoretically.
	Well, happy birthday, old man.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the collapsing healthcare system, ladies and gentlemen, John C. Devorak!
	Well, in the morning you are, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	Also in the morning, all ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
	Big in the morning to all our trolls in our troll room who hang out there on a 24-hour basis trolling with each other and also just, to be honest, connecting, just hanging out.
	It's a place you can go any time of the day.
	There's always someone there to give you a hefty and friendly in the morning.
	And we love having them around on show days.
	We do this show live.
	We stream it on noagendastream.com.
	That's 24-7.
	If you go to trollroom.io, that's where you can join the trolls.
	Troll them.
	Troll us.
	Troll whatever you want.
	Just shut up.
	Be passive.
	Sit under the bridge.
	Eat a sandwich.
	Let's count them all.
	Trolls, hello.
	How many do we have?
	Come on, trolls.
	Hands up.
	Woo!
	Scurrying away.
	Damn, not good today.
	1994.
	Anything over 18 is good for a Thursday.
	Oh, I thought, oh, okay.
	Well, I like seeing over 2K, personally.
	Personally.
	Did you get your reset email for noagendasocial.com?
	I didn't care because I got my old machine back up and running, which has it all built in.
	Yeah, I saw it.
	I just ignored it.
	But the password is still changed.
	Are we able to log in on your old machine?
	Yeah, of course, because it's all built in there.
	I got all saved passwords and everything like that.
	Are you sure?
	And then I noticed a real problem.
	What?
	Because I went and looked at my preferences.
	I'm using Dvorak at Dvorak.org instead of John at Dvorak.org.
	And I think that's probably one of the problems because I looked at the password.
	It's a password I use.
	It's an old one.
	So, beside the point, I got back on.
	I got the old machine running, finally.
	Well, this is important.
	How did you get the old machine running?
	That was like a hardware error.
	It was a fan that blew up or something weird.
	No, no.
	What it was, was the Asus Z97 motherboard.
	Oh, hold on a second.
	You're really getting me hot and bothered now.
	Motherboard talk.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	It's a beauty, by the way.
	It's a gem.
	It's a wonderful-looking product.
	But what happens, I'm told after this, when it happened to me, it's got one of those little batteries in it that keep up the date and time thing.
	So if you leave the machine off for a long time, everything remains intact.
	It saves the machine state or something.
	It does some cool things.
	When that battery goes dead and you reboot under some circumstance, it flips some triggers that tell you that the fan and the CPU is overheating and the fan's not working when the fan's working fine.
	And so you go, so I'm told by the guys, I've used these custom-built machines from NPC Noise and SilentPC.com.
	If you've got the money to spend, these machines are beautiful.
	What's the website again?
	SilentPC.com.
	And the thing about these machines, I can build machines and I've done them.
	I know, it's what you do in your spare time.
	But the difference is with these guys, it's like...
	Dude, you have a blurb on this website.
	I do.
	Holy crap, right on the front.
	John C. Dvorak.
	Yeah, I know, I know.
	Can I read it?
	Sure.
	John C. Dvorak in PC Magazine.
	How old is this blurb?
	It's pretty old.
	I now consider this NPCnoise.com computer the greatest machine I've ever owned.
	I usually like to build my own machines, but these guys do a much better job in every way.
	See, I'm reading it for you.
	If you're thinking of getting a new machine from any brand name company, think seriously about NPCnoise.com.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	Wow.
	It sounds just like an ad.
	Yeah, kind of.
	So anyways...
	The difference between my building a machine and these guys' building a machine, besides the fact that they use better components and they use cooling systems for their CPU, is every wire and every little connection is all bundled together and tied together and then it runs along the edge where it belongs.
	If you look at my builds, it's just a bunch of wires.
	If you stick your hand in there, you'll get electrocuted.
	Spaghetti factory.
	Yeah, Spaghetti Factory.
	And that's the difference between Spaghetti Factory and a pro.
	And it's like, there's no comparison.
	They got some beautiful, they got some great looking machines here.
	And yeah, expensive.
	And they're all quiet.
	They're dead bone quiet.
	Yeah, nice.
	So here's what happens.
	So when that happens, I can't get this thing, or just go in and change a couple things in the BIOS that'll reboot.
	No, no.
	Over and over again.
	It took about a month to get back up.
	And so...
	So finally the guy finds the manual for this old motherboard.
	This machine's about four years old, maybe five.
	And he says, you got to go into this section and just turn everything off.
	So I did that and it booted.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah.
	I turned all the sensors off.
	Oh, right, because it was the temperature sensor or the fan sensor was thinking it was going to overload.
	So it booted and now it should be fine because I got a new battery.
	I put a new battery.
	And by the way, here's another little grouse if people are interested in me complaining.
	Why not?
	So I got a battery.
	The battery in the thing is, I got the numbers of 2532, something like that.
	It's a very specific Duracell battery that everybody carries.
	I go to CVS. They got all these batteries.
	They got all these little round batteries.
	No, they don't have any of those.
	Oh, there's another CVS down the street because that's all there is now in the world is CVS. There's no Payless.
	There's no Long's Drugs.
	There's nothing.
	There's CVS. I go to the other CVS. They haven't got it either.
	So I have to order it on Amazon.
	Oh, the horrors.
	So you wonder why Amazon's doing so well in these other stores.
	Oh, we have nothing.
	We can't stay in business.
	Try stocking your shelves with what you're supposed to have in there.
	I would have bought it from you, you dummies.
	Anyway, so that's another complaint of money.
	The only good phone's a landline, and the phone should be made out of Bakelite.
	That's right, everybody.
	You heard him right here.
	The Tech Crouch resurrected!
	Thank you.
	I'm glad that you're back up.
	And now, people can follow you at John C. Dvorak at NoAgendaSocial.com.
	And when you're over there...
	Or if you're following, then you'll get all these great things John has to say.
	And then you'll automatically get flow from everybody else.
	You can follow me, Adam, at NoAgendaSocial.com.
	And be on the lookout.
	There's many, many different Mastodon servers you can sign up to.
	It works everywhere.
	It's the new federated universe.
	It's the only way forward, in my opinion.
	Now, I'd like to thank the artist for episode 1377.
	We titled that one The R9X. Which is the model number of the rocket that was shot off at the ISIS-K, which doesn't explode, but sends out sharp knives in cluster formation.
	Sean Regalado brought us the artwork, and we had a lot of discussion about it, but we wound up choosing for ISIS-K Street.
	The street sign.
	It was the first one that I actually liked when I first saw it, and you really liked it.
	Yeah.
	But then I found something I thought was better, because I didn't like this piece because of the Dvorak Curry thing being on the pole.
	Very small.
	Unreadable.
	Mm-hmm.
	Mm-hmm.
	Now, you also liked Mike Riley's No Agenda case flag, which I didn't quite get at first.
	Yeah, well, if you don't get it, then it's not good.
	I mean, I saw it immediately as ISIS-K, but if you don't get it immediately, then we can't do it.
	And I also liked the CIA chick, which was the CIA logo.
	No, we both liked the CIA chick.
	But it was impossible to read.
	But do you remember what you really wanted and what we had the conversation over?
	Yes.
	The one we really wanted was from Correct the Record.
	It's the one I really wanted.
	And this was your reaction.
	I really like this.
	Here's your reaction.
	Ah, ah, ah.
	And I said, what's the matter?
	Wait, I just want everyone to know, this is a complete, accurate reenactment of the events of last Sunday.
	Yes.
	And you said, oh, well...
	It's a little too much like the Podcasting 2.0 logo.
	No, it is the Podcasting 2.0 logo, except instead of Podcasting 2.0, it says Terrorism 2.0.
	And instead of a little antenna with beams coming off of it, the little antenna stick is an AK-47.
	I said, there's a lot of people who work in podcasting 2.0.
	I can't, like, just have this terrorism shit floating around.
	I said, no, I vetoed it.
	Yeah.
	Put my foot down.
	Yeah, you made it very clear that this was not acceptable to you.
	No.
	Because, and I said, why?
	This is very funny.
	It's a parody.
	It's fantastic.
	And then you went again.
	Ah, there's a lot of people working on 2.0 and it's going to offend someone.
	How's this going to offend anybody?
	We have people from all across the spectrum working on this, and it's not just me.
	I don't own Podcasting 2.0.
	It's all the developers, and there's lots of people who have different political viewpoints, believe it or not.
	And we still all get along because we have the same mission.
	Well, there's nothing I can do about it.
	You weren't going to have any of it.
	No.
	And so I gave up, and then I tried to find something, you know, I said, well, this might work, that might work, because I was trying to get away from this sign.
	And then there was not a lot of really compelling art, and so I gave up and gave in.
	And that's how it works.
	Yes.
	I would like to correct the record.
	I mean, the sound you made is clearly not the sound I was making.
	You may have heard it that way, but this is what the sound I was making.
	You don't have a bong at the ready.
	Says you.
	Says you.
	Alright, let me just see.
	Was there anything else that we discussed?
	We did talk about the pulp boosterism, just because it looked kind of cool.
	Thank you, Comicstrip Blogger, for the insult.
	He loves doing that.
	He loves doing that.
	It's hilarious.
	Oh yeah, no, you like the barrel bottom quote.
	You actually pushed for that.
	I did?
	Which one?
	It's the CZ-137, the bottom of the barrel with huh on it.
	I don't remember this.
	No, of course not.
	I do.
	Okay, well, if I see the piece, but I can't find it, where is it?
	It's on page...
	Is it on page one or page two?
	No, it's on page one, and it's about halfway down.
	You see the comic strip blogger, I'm a dick, and then you see the ankle bracelet, Nike, and then it's Huff.
	People, you can follow along, by the way.
	If you're listening live, you can do that at noagendaartgenerator.com.
	If you're using a podcasting 2.0 app, then...
	Where is it in relation to the CIA chick?
	Where's CIA chick?
	Oh, it's up one, two, three, up four.
	So, people playing along at home...
	Oh, the one that says, huh?
	Yes, huh.
	Yeah, I did say, you're right, you're right.
	I said something about that piece being kind of interesting, and then you said, I don't get it, and I said, that's the point.
	Yeah, so.
	And I didn't get it either, but I did say something.
	I said something about the piece I liked, I don't know why.
	And I think that's our summary.
	Yes, that is the summary.
	And people listening along in a Podcasting 2.0 app have been able to see all of this artwork fly by.
	Dreb Scott doing a great job on the chapters.
	Of course, it always takes him a couple hours to mark them all after we're published.
	So if you really want the full effect, then just wait a few hours before you start listening to the show.
	It updates automatically.
	Newpodcastapps.com.
	And let us thank our executive producers and associate executive producers for today in the No Agenda Original Value for Value model where we ask you to support the show so we don't have to talk to advertisers, take creepy money, and censor ourselves.
	Yeah, and just think of all the interesting advice you get in terms of our taste in art.
	Not only that, but now you know how to travel like a billionaire by going to the FIP Center.
	Yeah, and you might do a deal in there.
	You never know.
	It could happen.
	Do you get to see other people?
	It sounds like you're in a locked room.
	No, there's probably ten rooms, and they're really big and spacious and beautiful, and each one has its own interior design.
	I was in the canal house room.
	Was anybody else in there with you?
	No, no, it's your own room.
	It's your private room.
	Ah, no, it's no good.
	All right.
	Let's start with Anonymous.
	All righty.
	Who's in the Hague, Netherlands, 90364, which is nice.
	ITM, please keep me anonymous.
	Okay, we just did that.
	This donation, which will bring me to knighthood accounting below, please knight me as Sir Manila Envelope.
	Hmm.
	Only request is an F-cancer, earlier donation, and he goes on and on.
	All right.
	Thank you very much, Anonymous.
	Donkey Bell.
	You've got karma.
	Dame Jennifer Weida of the Gypsy Nation, 570, from LaGrange, Georgia.
	Fantastic shows as always, gentlemen.
	Adam, happy birthday.
	Ah, yes, that's why the 570.
	Thank you.
	Fantastic.
	Beautiful birthday gift.
	Regards, Dave Jennifer Wida of the Gypsy Nation.
	That's very, very nice.
	Thank you.
	That's cool.
	I shall share it with my friend.
	I could have pushed a 570 donation, but I thought it would be greedy.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	Just my birthday.
	Ben Sterling, 500 bucks, almost as good.
	Jingles WTC7 won't go away.
	Shut up slave.
	Pigs in human clothing.
	Two to the head.
	Dear Adam and John, this donation brings me to Baron.
	Please change my title to Baron.
	The Baron dude named Ben, defender of megawatts, defender of the electric bridge, protector of civilization.
	For my protectorate, I'd like to claim the North American electric grids.
	I sense a theme.
	Yes.
	In my last donation, I asked for jobs karma and called my CEO a globalist cuck for his policy of segregating vaccinated and unvaccinated.
	He's now pushing harder than ever.
	And mandates are on the way!
	However, in immune...
	However, in immune...
	Hi, in immune to this because...
	Oh, I, however, am immune to this because job karma works.
	I'm, however, immune to this because job karma works.
	John scuffed at my recommendation of my CEO. No, recrimination.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Recrimination of my CEO. Well...
	John, you are wrong, is the way to get a job.
	Note, not only did I land a new gig, but I got a damn near six-figure raise.
	Whoa!
	Six-figure raise?
	Yeah.
	And my new CEO believes vaccines are personal choice and promises not to mandate them.
	Oh, well, you got a good CEO for a change.
	Again, I encourage everyone to stand up looking for a job now and don't let them push you into something you don't want to do.
	Resist we much!
	That is our dude named Ben named Ben, protector of megawatts.
	You're on deck for the title change.
	Thank you for your courage.
	Seven won't go away.
	Fear is freedom.
	Subjugation is liberation.
	Contradiction is truth.
	Those are the facts of this world.
	And you will all surrender to them.
	You pigs in human clothing.
	Shut up, please.
	I have Sir Furr's note here.
	Surfer comes in at the 340 from Orlando, Florida, and he wrote a note.
	It's an actual note.
	You can hear it.
	It's proof.
	Enclosed is the next installment on the wealth transfer from my children's inheritance.
	Yay!
	Taking the kids' money.
	You guys are great comedians.
	Thank you for your comedy.
	You're welcome.
	Thank you for recognizing it.
	Karma for all.
	No jingles.
	Love is lit and all that shit.
	Surfer Delondo.
	Yes, sir.
	You've got karma.
	Then we have Dame Jennifer checking in from Charleston, South Carolina.
	There she is.
	333.9393.
	I've had multiple very generous donors to animated No Agenda over the past month, and no new episode to show for it, yet.
	And I'm getting back into a more normal rhythm after a crazy couple of months work-wise, so stay tuned for the next episode very soon.
	I'm finally about to cut a time-sucking and not-at-all-lucrative cord with a client.
	A bit terrifying, but I know I will be much better off.
	Is that an Amstel Lite?
	Yeah, that's what it is.
	Is that our new...
	Is it getting something under the table for that?
	Amstel Light?
	Amstel Light.
	I would love a heaping dose of new client job karma for myself and anyone else who needs it, especially for everyone who has to seek new opportunities given the VAX mandates.
	Also sprinkled with fabulous new boyfriend karma, it is so much more enjoyable to date within the No Agenda Producer family.
	Uh-huh.
	That's right.
	No Agenda Producer.
	We have a lot of takers.
	Yes.
	All right, I'm going to give you the mega jobs.
	I mean, I think this really calls for it.
	Jobs.
	Job's job.
	You've got karma.
	Gotta throw some Job's out there, man.
	I love that Job's.
	You know, during the early days of the computer game, people would say, Steve Job's.
	I remember that.
	And, oh, yeah, I got a copy of the new Dose.
	Dose.
	Dose.
	It's the new Dose operating system.
	By the way, my Guy Kawasaki interview came out, and he did not put the vax thing in at the end.
	He took it out.
	Oh, he left it out.
	But, first of all, he does a very good job editing.
	He does interludes and does a voiceover and goes back to the interview.
	But then at the very end, after he's already said goodbye to me, then he does sign off with a be care, be careful, stay safe, wear a mask, get vaccinated, do it for the children.
	It was a great meme fest.
	Oh my God.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, it's a Remarkable People podcast.
	Yeah, a lot of these guys who overproduce their podcasts don't kind of understand what a podcast is.
	It really...
	I like what he...
	It's not overproduced.
	It's not bad.
	No, no, no, it's not bad.
	And I talk about you a lot, so...
	Oh, well, it's probably pretty decent.
	Bored Stupid is next on the list, and he's in Pueblo, Pueblo, Colorado, 333, 47...
	Thank you for your courage.
	The Jobs Karma I requested on show 1376 was sufficient to get me into the final four.
	The stakes are high, and I don't want to leave anything to chance, so I'm donating again and requesting another shot of Jobs Karma.
	This donation also marks my knighthood accounting below, so even if I fail to get the job, I'll accomplish at least one important goal this week, which is being knighted.
	I would like to become known simply as Sir Bored Stupid.
	To help me prepare for the final interview, I kindly request bubblegum and whoop-ass at the round table.
	Does he want a can of it?
	I think he wants a can of whoop-ass.
	Please note, it's okay if you're all out of the bubblegum.
	Thank you for not finding an exit strategy and continuing to deliver the best podcast in the universe.
	Regards, Bored Stupid.
	Alright, well, this is Final Four.
	I think we've got to roll out the Jobes again.
	Jobs. Jobs. Jobs. Jobs. Jobs. Jobs. Jobs. Jobs.
	You've got.
	Harmony.
	With a goat.
	I don't know if that doesn't work.
	It always works for some reason.
	It does.
	I think in 14 years, maybe two or three people say it didn't work.
	Well, a couple of people, one guy, we had the one guy who I met up with in Seattle at one of the meetups who said that he worked just the opposite.
	He was out of work for nine months after we played the Trump-only jobs, which we then banned.
	Oh, yeah, because it failed.
	Massive.
	Yeah.
	Massive.
	C.J. Nutz.
	33333, the perfect executive producer donation amount in the morning, gentlemen.
	Been a listener since your first appearance on the Joe Rogan Show.
	Is it the first mention?
	Thank you both and all of Gitmo Nation for what you do and represent.
	Please accept my first donation and please de-douche me.
	Love y'all.
	CJ Nuts.
	You've been de-douched.
	I like the way the Joe Rogan donors are now, you know, first we had a blast of them right at the beginning when you did that first show.
	And they're all generous, and now they're still generous, but they're dribbling in still from the first show.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Fascinating.
	They're fantastic.
	They are good people.
	Good people.
	Good people.
	Donald Francis is next on the list from Chandler, Arizona, 33333.
	And he says, I'd like to thank you, John and Adam, for tirelessly and intelligently doing the work and keeping us all informed and entertained.
	I'd also like to say in the morning and wish a very happy birthday to my buddy, Bob.
	Crosby93.
	Lastly, a shout-out to my smoking hot wife, Stephanie, who recently started listening to the pod.
	Well, that's too bad.
	She should be listening to our show.
	Yeah, though not the pod.
	No, the pod.
	Ugh.
	Now she never misses an episode, I guess, or something, and usually hears it before me.
	Our relationship has never been stronger and it's truly a blessing to have our amygdala shrunk while we experience and discuss the best podcast in the universe together.
	Aww.
	Jingle request, a biscuit for my birthday.
	For Bob, a boogity for Stephanie.
	Health karma for my father-in-law, Steve.
	Stay safe.
	Bye.
	They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
	You've got karma.
	Karma.
	Sir Otto from Autoland Surveying in Berrien Springs, Michigan, 3333.
	In the morning, Adam, could you please send some newborn karma?
	You bet.
	My wife just birthed.
	You mean your birthing person just released your second human resource.
	Her name is Olive.
	They're both doing great.
	I'll send along a note with the juicy COVID details next time.
	All the best, sir.
	Otto from Otto Land Surveying.
	Well, congratulations and welcome to Gitmo Nation.
	Olive, new human resource.
	You've got karma.
	Emily Heister in Frederick, Maryland, 33333.
	I'm donating for my husband, Joseph Heister, in honor of our anniversary on 9-1.
	He's been a long-time listener and gets a lot of value out of the show.
	He always stops what he's doing to listen live.
	Oh, he listens live.
	That's nice.
	Can we get a karma for many more happy years together?
	And they never had a fight!
	Of course we got that for you.
	Never had a fight.
	You've got karma.
	Now, you have these notes there?
	I do.
	In fact, I have the notes and I can prove it.
	I can tell.
	I can hear them.
	Camkeeper of the Nutty Fluffers is from Hubbard, Oregon.
	Kim.
	Okay.
	She writes, and I have to actually switch glasses because she's printed it out, six-point type.
	I decided it was finally time to donate after being a douchebag for three months.
	Please de-douche me.
	You've been de-douched.
	You'll get a kick out of this.
	I was hit in the mouth by my local vape shop guy, Will.
	Of course, of course.
	I'm the vape crusader.
	I have my army everywhere.
	Hey man, you should listen to this show.
	It's really cool.
	Vapors aren't necessarily stoners.
	I can't thank you guys enough for helping keep me and my human resources sane.
	My five-year-old calls you the funny guys, and I think you're actually getting through to my 16-year-old.
	Oh, wow.
	I'm guessing that's a girl.
	I don't know those guys.
	John, thank you for...
	Oh, mom!
	They're such boomers!
	Boomers!
	Okay, boomer.
	John, thank you so much for talking about your cataract.
	I have cataract surgery coming up after a week face down for macula surgery.
	It was hell...
	You know, this is the talk that really reels the 16-year-olds in.
	You know, detached retina macular surgery, it requires you to have your face down for, I don't know, weeks.
	Yeah.
	Which means you have to get a special bed with a hole in it.
	The whole thing is gross.
	A special bed with a hole in it?
	It's horrible.
	It's not the same.
	Cataract surgery is like, I don't want to minimize it, but it's like outpatient.
	You get the surgery, you're out, you're home.
	Anyway, it was helpful hearing you describe it as easy.
	Adam, you will know it is a...
	Adam, you will know if it's a cataract if you are trying to look through a fogged up windshield all the time.
	Actually, I think the best indicator is at night, when a bright light hits your two eyes, one of them, the cataract deflects all the light and it blows across the back of the retina and it just can't see anything.
	Oh, okay.
	That's a good test.
	I hope I kept it short enough.
	Yeah, you kept it pretty short.
	I'm the one rambling.
	Keep up the amazing work and hope you guys never find an exit strategy.
	Kim, keeper of the nutty fluffers in Hubbard, Oregon.
	Jingles.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	I should have read this.
	I got him.
	Karma cackle and blah, blah, blah.
	F your freedom and R2D2 karma.
	Screw your freedom.
	You've got...
	Karma.
	Screw your fears.
	Should I read this one?
	I got it here.
	Yeah, why don't you read this one?
	This is Ian.
	Who is this from?
	Ian.
	Ian.
	Does Ian have a last name?
	Ian Rush.
	33333.
	Hello to Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	This is Ian from Southern California.
	Please accept this donation.
	After hearing you on Rogan early March 2020.
	That's right.
	First time I was on.
	My girlfriend Amber and I have not missed an episode.
	This is my first donation.
	Please de-douche.
	You've been de-douched.
	The hardest thing I have done was starting a pool business in Southern California over a decade ago.
	The American dream is real, but it's never easy.
	Through the suffering and chaos of owning your own business, I've learned my freedom from the word boss.
	Amber, unfortunately, is still in the system.
	She works at an elementary school and will soon have to start taking the nose jab weekly or possibly lose her job now that they have approved the Pfizer.
	I've expressed my support for her choice, but losing an income when kids rely on us is stressful to say the least.
	And you are not alone.
	We believe freedom is essential.
	Freedom is choice.
	Freedom is not force.
	Thanks to you guys and others, we've been red-pilling our friends and family for the better part of the last year.
	We have recently decided to step things up a notch and start doing as Bongino would say.
	Oh, here we go.
	FreeAmerica.online is our new baby.
	FreeAmerica.online.
	A platform and store in which we exercise our First Amendment rights against critical race theory, masks, vaccines, and lockdowns.
	In the tube, you'll find the prototype of our first product.
	The ready-made activist sticker is large and in charge.
	Ready to be stuck on a poster for peaceful protesting or what have you.
	We've also included sneak peeks of our upcoming products.
	Most of our designs are hand-drawn by Amber, and we plan to have new designs released every Saturday.
	Donations for expansion can be made today.
	So they're value-for-value, free American online.
	Stickers.
	Stickers, big hit.
	Did you check this place out?
	Yeah, well, I got the stickers.
	He sent me the stickers.
	Oh, you got the stickers?
	Oh, how are they?
	They're big.
	Yes, that's what they said in the note.
	Okay, do they need any special consideration?
	No jingles, no karma.
	Thank you very much for your value, your value supportion.
	Onward with Sir Kelly Spongberg and Dame Andrea Garnier Spongberg.
	And they're in Mountain House, Alberta, Canada.
	3.30, Rocky Mountain House, 3.33.
	Jobs, Karma, for Sir Dallas Spongberg.
	Very proud of him being a single dad that he now is.
	All right.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Well, now I think we have a switcheroo.
	Okay.
	Jill Ciano from Wayne, New Jersey, who donated 333, says, please make this donation to my smoking hot boyfriend on his birthday, Bob Obringer, 9-8.
	He needs a good de-douching.
	You've been de-douched.
	And the biscuit on his birthday jingle and a jobs karma thanks to him hitting me in the mouth not even a year ago.
	Love ya!
	They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You thought karma.
	And we got Sophia from the Bay Area, California, 333.
	When other people claimed that they encountered the number 33 in all kinds of magical ways as a sign for a donation, I thought, nah, that's bullshit.
	But when my fire alarm started blaring at 3.33 a.m.
	a week ago for absolutely no reason, I thought, damn, I really do need to donate.
	Did I donate then?
	Nope, I didn't.
	A week has passed with me feeling mildly guilty, but when my daughter came home from school and proudly informed me that it took her 3...
	3 minutes and 33...
	3.33 minutes to run a half mile in PE class, I finally realized I can wait no longer.
	Would love some karma and the Noodle Boy jingle.
	Also, please call Elian...
	Elyon?
	Or Elyon.
	Elyon, who punched me in the mouth three years ago, but hasn't donated yet as a douchebag!
	Douchebag!
	Yes, and, uh, Sophia from the Bay Area.
	Yeah, I got your noodle gun jingle.
	I'm gonna shoot you in the face with my noodle gun, you racist piece of shit.
	I got my pasta glock locked and loaded.
	Onward with Eric Leonard, 29357, becomes an associate executive producer for the show.
	I wanted to wish you a very happy birthday, Adam, and I'm glad you made it back to the Hill Country.
	I'm an OG Ronamo producer.
	You know what that means?
	OG, OG, so it's...
	Original.
	Rogan, no agenda, mo facts.
	That's a good one.
	Named Lenny.
	And I also have a love for DH Unplugged.
	Plugs going all around.
	Tomorrow I will be taking a trip down to Knoxville trying to discover if Tennessee will be my new home.
	A lot of people love Tennessee.
	So I'm calling on all producers in the area to go to No Agenda meetups to meet up and help me to experience all of the best spots in the area.
	I'm a 26-year-old liberty-minded millennial living in South Jersey, coming to the realization that Dictator Murphy is going to drain all of my freedoms away based on a personal medical decision.
	I am leaving behind friends and family in search for a place where I can actually live my life.
	I must thank you, too, for all your courage, wisdom, and all your analysis of the core issues in America.
	Your show taught me to filter through the distractions and isolate the root of the problem.
	I wanted to ask you both about your feelings on or if you are aware of the Libertarian Party.
	Are we aware?
	Yeah.
	Well, you want to stop and mention this right here?
	Sure.
	Uh, we're both, I think, I was always claiming to be a libertarian, and I think the libertarian party is a lost cause.
	That's my opinion.
	I think it's a cop-out for people who don't want to be Republicans.
	And I'm not affiliated with any group.
	And the reason I say that, not necessarily that they're thinking that, but whenever someone says, uh, you conservative, you're a Republican, you say no.
	Oh, yeah, you're a libertarian, right?
	That would be, yeah.
	That's kind of the way it's perceived.
	I will say the following.
	Mm-hmm.
	I was raised a Democrat.
	I was a Democrat most of my life.
	Then I became a Republican, Reagan Republican.
	And then I gave up on the Republican Party and became an Independent.
	And then I gave up on that idea and now I'm officially registered as unaffiliated.
	I've gone through everything.
	And in the process, I did say I was a Libertarian back in the day when I was an Independent.
	But I gave up on that too.
	Anyway, he goes on to write, in particular, the Mises Caucus, whose goal is to restart the Ron Paul revolution.
	I was a big Ron Paul supporter.
	You were.
	He was a huge Ron Paul supporter.
	Endorsed him in everything.
	Finally, if I could please get some job promotion karma, a.k.a.
	Trump Pelosi job, Joe, Jobes.
	What's the big one?
	The Jobes.
	Job karma for me and all of the producers out there.
	That would be greatly appreciated.
	Thank you for your entertainment and the work that you do.
	Lenny from South Jersey.
	Jobs.
	You've got karma.
	We have Dame Astrid, Duchess of Japan and all the disputed islands in the Japan Sea.
	With $257, she of course is in Tokyo.
	And she sent me a personal note with a copy to Sir Mark congratulating me on my 57th birthday.
	And always love hearing from Dame Astrid and Sir Mark.
	And she slipped at 57 in the donation.
	She did.
	She did.
	Well, yeah.
	It's Dame Astrid.
	You know, even though we had a good time in Mexico, I'm really sad we didn't get to do our big Japan trip this year.
	We were really excited about it.
	We were going to hang out with them.
	It was going to be cool.
	Damn Rona.
	Thank you very much, Daymaster.
	David Vinton from Clarkson, Washington.
	$250.
	Associate Executive Producer.
	First time done.
	I learned I can't sit and post shit on Facebag or Trigger to make change.
	Decided to inspire and become political.
	Start local.
	You two inspired me.
	Retired vet douchebag.
	Out.
	Thank you.
	Gotcha.
	So I go to this Total Wines and More.
	And I don't know if this guy watches NCIS too much, but I had to open up a cognac case so they got locked in, you know, the mid-price cognacs.
	I have no idea why.
	So I push the button.
	Guy comes in.
	He says, I need the cognac case open.
	He says, I'll copy that.
	And so I said, I'd like to, what do you want?
	I said, copy that.
	Copy that.
	And he said, copy that.
	He just kept saying this.
	Instead of saying yes or no, copy that.
	Who says this?
	Pilots, military, cops, nerds, and guys who have big keychains with the key to the cognac chest, apparently.
	I guess that would be it.
	Marina's next on the list from Eden Prairie, Minnesota.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	We have...
	Oh, did I miss something?
	Yeah, Spencer Mack, I think.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Spencer Mack.
	I'll do Spencer Mack.
	He's in San Francisco.
	Local, $200.25.
	We're almost done.
	Happy birthday, Aurora.
	Tomorrow, September 3rd.
	She's on the list.
	A fun way to say boobs as a...
	And I got a bunch of characters here.
	It looks more like boobs.
	I guess he says $200.25, I guess.
	Yeah, the PayPal messed up the characters again.
	Yeah, thank you both for keeping...
	When you use the quotes or something, it doesn't work.
	Thanks for keeping me sane.
	I don't even think it's PayPal.
	I think it is the Excel Microsoft product.
	Oh, yeah.
	Thank you for keeping me sane over these last 18 months as I live and work in San Francisco.
	Yes.
	San Francisco.
	You need...
	You can't go anywhere.
	Please play Pelosi's Jobs and Job Karma, Spencer Mack.
	Seems to be our popular karma nowadays.
	It's crazy.
	Jobs.
	You've got karma.
	Now we've got Marina from Eden Prairie, Minnesota, $200.
	Last Sunday, my incredibly thoughtful friend Ashley Slater called me out as a douchebag, so I took that as my cue from the universe to donate to the best podcast in the universe.
	Podfather, make me clean!
	You've been de-douched.
	It's very disturbing to hear that.
	Please give a shout-out to my brother, uh...
	Ian Vengene, a.k.a.
	John, for hitting me in the mouth at the beginning of this plandemic.
	John is not a douchebag in the New Agenda universe, but my two friends, Alex and Tasha, are.
	John and Adam, would either of you consider being my second?
	I may need one when the douchebag gloves slap my friend's face.
	Okay.
	I'd like to request China is asshole for human resource Guinea Slater, a karma of your choice for Alex.
	So she and really all of us can continue standing strong against the pandemic propaganda and the havoc it wreaks in so many relationships and a Pelosi jobs karma for myself, my two brothers, Tasha and everyone else on the hunt.
	Sincerely appreciate everything you both do.
	Promote amygdala shrinkage in this strange time.
	The Lord bless you, and the Lord keep you.
	And I do have the Chinese asshole, and there's something else here.
	For the love of all that is tasty, please try yourself some Pelemini with dill and sour cream.
	You all about killed me when you didn't know what they were.
	Actually, I got a note from Sir Gene.
	He felt just as insulted because I, in fact, had this tasty Russian snack at his birthday dinner.
	And I do like it.
	it's very good china is asshole jobs jobs jobs and jobs let's vote for jobs tasty russian snacks tend to be too sweet Or too pickled.
	Oh, I didn't get that.
	Darius Gandhi, $200 in parts unknown.
	I have no note from him under the name by looking up Darius or Gandhi or donation.
	No, me neither.
	Brian Close is next, $200 from Bonnie Lake, Washington.
	$200.
	And he says in the morning, gents, today's my 33rd birthday and he's not on the list.
	And it's on a show day.
	So I figured I'd go with my monthly donation and send you some additional appreciation for all that you do.
	I've been a listener since Adam's first appearance on JRE. And haven't missed an episode since.
	That's a good group.
	Most recently I've been exploring the MoFax show as well.
	I just wanted to let you know how much my smoking hot wife and I value this show.
	I would appreciate some jobs, Karma, as we're in the process of selling our home in Washington, or Washington as you might call it, so we can move our family down to Texas.
	Yeah!
	I own an insurance restoration business, whatever that is, and we're planning to start up a second branch down in Wachahachie.
	Texas.
	Lastly, can I get a big F you to Jay Inslee?
	We got it.
	Brian, a.k.a.
	Far From Left on No Agenda Social.
	For Good Job Karma, I start rolling off my current contract and look at options.
	Okay.
	Does he need a Jobs Karma here?
	I guess so.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	When I put you on the list for today, we're all good.
	Caitlin O'Donnell winds it all out with our final associate executive producership, $200, parts unknown in the United States.
	And, of course, it's Sir Colin the Friendly Fat Man donating for my sister, Caitlin O'Donnell, so the donation doesn't show up on her credit card and ruin the surprise for her husband.
	Woo!
	This sounds intricate.
	Please list donation as from Caitlin O'Donnell, and if possible, put Chris O'Donnell on the Associate Executive Producer credit in the show notes.
	Well, hold on a second.
	How do I do that?
	You just put Caitlin and Chris O'Donnell.
	Oh, Caitlin.
	Oh, you're so smart.
	Okay.
	And Chris.
	I'm doing it right now so we don't mess that up.
	In the morning, John Adams' donation is in honor of my husband, Chris O'Donnell's 38th birthday on September 2nd.
	Please add him to the birthday list he's on.
	I decided a donation was the best gift I... I've got to read this slower because it's true.
	I decided a donation is the best gift I could give him when our 70-year-old son proclaimed, Mom, listening to No Agenda is the best!
	That kid is destined for greatness.
	So, happy birthday, Chris.
	Me and our four soon-to-be-five human resources think you are the greatest.
	Please de-douche him.
	You've been de-douched.
	And give us a healthy dose of house buying karma and as a jingle request, John's plain nuts jingle and pew pew.
	Thank you for all you do.
	Keep up the good work from Caitlin O'Donnell and the family.
	Yeah, of course we can do that for you.
	Get you the pew pew lined up here and we're on.
	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 bull stop.
	You've got karma.
	And that is our associate executive producers and executive producers for show 1378.
	eight And we want to thank each and every one of them for making the show a success.
	Thanks for bringing the heat, everybody.
	Thanks for all the birthday wishes.
	I really appreciate that.
	It's a good number for some reason.
	Fifty-seven feels really good.
	Heinz?
	Yeah.
	I don't know what it is.
	It's like, you know, it's like, I don't know.
	It doesn't feel old.
	Yeah, it's like, I got you, Heinz.
	In Holland, this joke is old now.
	Heinz?
	Exactly.
	It's very annoying.
	That's how you sound in Dutch.
	That's exactly what that was.
	These are the credits that we'd like to issue to our executive producers and associate executive producers for each individual episode.
	Everybody can be one, should try to be one at least once in your life, and we really appreciate what they've done here.
	These credits are accepted wherever they're recognized.
	And whatever questions, we'll be very happy to vouch for you.
	We'll be thanking more people in our second segment.
	And if you'd like to be an exec or associate executive producer, it's very simple.
	Go find out at our website.
	And thank you for bringing us our time, talent, and treasure for episode 1378.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Before you launch into anything, one of our producers noticed something that bears mentioning. one of our producers noticed something that bears mentioning.
	The simulation, as we know it in the world, seems to be on repeat of 2005.
	5.
	And I will give you the points that the producer noticed.
	In 2005...
	Before you even do that, I should mention that Horowitz on DH Unplugged discussed the exact same thing.
	He did?
	Yeah.
	He says that in the market right now, we're seeing a lot of repeats of something that happened before.
	And it's just like a restart of a bunch of crazy ideas.
	Processes.
	Just starting new computer processes.
	It's probably a giant Python program.
	2005, we had Katrina hitting Louisiana, Kanye dropped a new album, the White Sox were in first place, and Afghanistan was all over the news.
	August 29th, Hurricane hits Louisiana, Kanye drops a new album, White Sox in first place, and Afghanistan all over the news.
	So, what can we expect?
	What is next?
	I'd have to go back and look at the timeline.
	We already figured it out.
	Kanye will go on TV and say Joe Biden doesn't care about black people.
	Wouldn't it be crazy if that happened?
	Wouldn't it be crazy if that happened?
	I don't think it'd be crazy.
	I think it's going to happen.
	It would be the best.
	The best.
	So I have a series of clips I want to run through because they bring out some new information we haven't heard and no one's talking about.
	Oh, hold on a second.
	And they come on this ship.
	Wait a second.
	Hold on.
	I've got information, man.
	New shit has come to light.
	All right.
	What do we got?
	So he brought on this woman, Mary Beth Long, who is an ex-assistant defense secretary during the Bush W. administration.
	Okay.
	And she brings out a few facts that I haven't heard.
	I know about a lot of this stuff.
	But more important is Shep Smith's show on CNBC is really a well-produced news show.
	It's not quite as slick as when he was on Fox and they had these big, giant...
	All these people in the background, these big, giant computers, if you remember that.
	They had these five-foot-sized screens.
	These huge screens, yeah.
	But still, he really is a...
	He's good, and he should be the guy that takes over from Lester Holt, but it's never going to happen, as you'll see when you listen to this.
	Because he's gay?
	He's a little bit harsh.
	Because he's gay?
	Is that why they don't want him?
	I don't know what they're going to do with him, but when you listen to these clips, you're going to hear a certain kind of harshness that might not be acceptable to the powers that be.
	He's a little bitchy.
	He's a little bitchy.
	Well, yeah, he is a little bitchy, but let's go with this series of clips.
	There's four of them here with an optional one.
	Shep Smith, Mary Beth, long clip one.
	I want to bring in Mary Beth Long now, Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs under President George W. Bush.
	Mary Beth, thanks so much for your time.
	I appreciate it.
	Thank you.
	The Pentagon said today the vast majority of those who wanted to get out did get out.
	That's not our promise.
	Our promise is not about vast majority.
	Was that a failure?
	It was a failure, and it was also a misstatement.
	Last night, dozens and dozens of U.S. citizens went to the airport.
	They were called to go there, and the gates never opened.
	Those U.S. citizens were left hanging this morning, circling the gates, circling the airport, unable to do much of anything.
	That isn't the promise that Americans expect.
	We also haven't even begun to talk about the green card holders.
	These are American citizens who, some of them, put in their paperwork during COVID, Yeah, that's what I'm hearing, too.
	So there's a bunch of people circling the gates and they kept them locked out.
	That's just peachy.
	Yeah.
	So, okay, well let's listen to some more here and this gets funnier as we continue.
	It's undermined by the facts that they were circling the airport last night.
	So you're saying they were lying to us.
	And I ask it so bluntly because we now know this administration, the last administration, the one before that, and the George W. Bush administration all lied to us about this war all along the way, correct?
	Yes, and they did lie to us.
	Not only that, but the State Department has been unwilling to reach out to the independent groups.
	There are many of them to take in names that they did not have, somehow relying on a database that they have somehow scraped and cleaned for that to be the list of the individuals that needed calling.
	It just wasn't the case.
	How long have we known, has it been a decade, a decade and a half or longer, that our goals in Afghanistan were unreachable and that we were losing lives?
	I mean, were we losing lives in vain?
	I know they were lying to us about what we were accomplishing and about what we were actually trying to accomplish.
	I just wonder the level to which we were lied about everything, you know?
	Wow.
	For an NBC product, this is quite interesting.
	I know.
	That's what I thought when I'm listening to it.
	In fact, I had to go to a rigmarole to make sure I got a copy of this.
	This has to be big forces pressuring Biden for Shep Smith to be doing this and talking like that.
	I mean, you don't really think he has full autonomy, do you?
	You know, on CNBC, it's a possibility that he does.
	It's a possibility because CNBC doesn't have a big audience generally.
	It's mainly for insiders and stock market people.
	How about this?
	Stop.
	How about Chef Smith is just smart.
	I know it sounds crazy, but he's like, okay, look, I'm over here on CNBC. I'm in the Shark Tank time slot.
	What am I going to do?
	Well, why don't I go a little bit against the narrative?
	Why don't I kind of skate across into the kind of Fox territory and try to be really middle of the road?
	Well, he's actually going to be out.
	Fox won't do this.
	No, precisely.
	So he's doing stuff that neither a typical NBC product would do or a Fox product.
	Yeah, nobody does this.
	And I was really happy to hear it because it's like, yeah.
	In fact, he's in our turf.
	Get the hell out of here.
	Stop making sense.
	Stop making sense, Shep.
	Believe me, we've got a bigger audience.
	Yes, I know that.
	So let's go to clip three where he's asked about the lies, lies, lies.
	I think at the end of the Bush administration that we realized that we were overreaching and there were adjustments in our policies afterward.
	I quibble with, we haven't lost lives in Afghanistan, frankly, for some months now.
	So the dangerous situation that everyone...
	Oh, we just lost 13 of them.
	Yes, because we created, I was about to say, we created this dangerous situation by not having a perimeter around the airport.
	So much of what you see to be the chaos and the danger right now, frankly, we created by moving military before citizens.
	And then not securing a perimeter around the airport that allowed bombs to go in right where our Marines were standing.
	Two questions in one.
	Why should the United States people trust leaders, civilian leaders in either party?
	When civilian leaders in both parties have been lying to us about this war for 20 years?
	And why should anyone who is helping the United States around the world in any conflict or diplomatic mission, why should any of them trust us when we just broke our biggest promise about not leaving anyone left behind?
	I mean, I have thoughts, but I'll wait until we've done the series.
	Okay, hear your answer.
	That's a real question, and I don't have an answer for that.
	Maybe they shouldn't?
	They absolutely should ask that question.
	Is there a reason for them to trust us, given that we just lied about No Man Left Behind and we just lied about the war for four administrations?
	Why would anybody trust us?
	Look, they shouldn't.
	The people that we promised that we would try to get out, we didn't even bother calling to the airport in most cases.
	I wonder what that does to our credibility in the short term and the medium term and in the long term around the world.
	We saw what happened to the Soviets after they left out the Khyber Pass with their tails between their legs.
	Two years later, they didn't have a country.
	I mean, no one trusted them ever, and I don't know who trusts us now.
	Our credibility is rock bottom, and it's one thing to leave, but we did worse than that.
	We left American citizens, green card holders, and people that risked their lives for us behind.
	That's nothing short of shameful.
	I wouldn't trust us if I were in their position.
	Secretary Blinken says we're just going on to the next phase, that we're still going to work on that.
	Of course, we don't have diplomats on the ground.
	We don't have soldiers on the ground.
	We don't have anything on the ground.
	I mean, there may be CIA in there, but we're not allowed to know that.
	You better believe it, Shep.
	Here's a question that I would like.
	So there are thousands of people.
	Again, I know a group here who was actively working on bringing people back.
	24 hours a day.
	But the bigger question is, okay, who are these people?
	I mean, Afghanistan has been a theater of war for us for 20 years.
	There's a lot of infrastructure.
	A lot of people went over there to start businesses.
	Either the business is working in and around the base, but there's families of...
	I mean, it's contractors, thousands of contractors who...
	Who's the responsible party for the contractors?
	And there are families who move there.
	Is that the U.S. government?
	I mean, I would like to know a little bit more about all these people who are left behind.
	So we can say, okay, we've got the Terps, we've got people who worked as translators or worked in and around the embassy.
	Sure, part of the deal.
	Their families, I guess.
	The embassy is minor compared to the contractors.
	Correct.
	They built these airports.
	They built these bases.
	They built these roads.
	They built these gas stations.
	They came over there to professors to teach gender studies.
	Yes!
	I bet they were the first ones out.
	Oh, yeah.
	They were riding shotgun on the way out.
	Oh, no, no.
	I'm not getting out.
	So he said something there at the end about the CIA, and the New York Times had an interesting article about how they apparently, you know, how they left their base, and just, it's all shady, and I think you and I agree that CIA is very deeply involved in the trade, and they're deeply involved in all of this.
	But there was something, actually, one of our producers reminded me of this.
	So if you want to know what happened here, I think we have our thoughts, but this, to me, clearly seems to be...
	Actually, let me take it back one step.
	What does the rest of the world think of us?
	They think we're a bag of dicks.
	I speak to Dutch military intelligence.
	I mean, they think we're just super dicks, but it's not American people.
	It's specifically Joe Biden and specifically the pencil pushers, as they're called, the joint chiefs and the guys who really have not been in any wars.
	So everyone except Miley.
	Millie, Miley, Millie.
	They just think they're douchebags.
	And the U.S. armed forces, the true armed forces, but I would say also the contractors, they got ditched.
	But you're in the contracting business, you make the big money because it's very dangerous and you don't have the full support.
	So that's the risk you take.
	But the military men and women, they're just like, this is crazy.
	What happened here is something very off, and it came from way up the food chain.
	And a couple months ago, or maybe six weeks ago, this is when Biden first said, oh, you know, wasn't there a statement that came out that the intelligence community had said, oh, this is collapsing, and Biden said, no, that's bullcrap.
	Remember that?
	Remember that moment?
	Vaguely.
	Yeah.
	We was crapping all over the intelligence services for their phony baloney report that things were collapsing, and this is the clip we played at the time, Dana Perino on Fox The Five.
	Some stories coming out from the intelligence community saying that's not true.
	And that has happened.
	And NBC News had one earlier today from the CIA. Again, anonymous sources.
	We'll see if there are hearings on Capitol Hill.
	This is obviously going to be one of the questions.
	But a very dangerous thing for any president is to get in a fight with the intelligence community or to call them liars or to question their work.
	Because any president...
	Really needs the intelligence community to be on their side and to be working for them, not against them.
	What if they screwed up?
	Well, then, again, it's the battle, right?
	But the empire strikes back.
	And they do it anonymously, and the media will take it every single time.
	The other thing I was going to mention is...
	There you go.
	The empire always strikes back.
	We could be looking at a version of that.
	Yeah, it's the tail wagging the dog.
	Mm-hmm.
	Well, that's what, of course, that's what exactly what Trump, before he got into office almost, I mean, just as soon as he got in, Chuck Schumer came out and said, you know, you can't criticize the intelligence community because they can screw you seven ways to heaven or whatever it was in phrase.
	Six ways to Sunday?
	Something like that.
	Seven ways to heaven?
	This is a phrase.
	This is very good.
	And I thought that that was...
	That was pretty...
	That was not something anyone should say.
	No, no, that was...
	I mean, it shouldn't be...
	I mean, even if the intelligence community does stuff like that, and you have to assume any bureaucrat does, if you're in a bureaucracy and you're protecting your turf, and you're being, you know...
	I mean, that's what happened to Nixon.
	If you read the book Family of Secrets, there's a long exposition in there about how the CIA may have set up the entire Watergate bit.
	And it's very entertaining to read because it was like Nixon was going on and on and Kennedy was too.
	About, you know, this agency is a little bit out of control.
	I think we should take a look at it.
	Maybe we should, you know, cut their funding or do something.
	This CIA is...
	Boom!
	Watergate happens.
	Kennedy did something similar.
	Boom!
	Shot!
	Kennedy also made the big statement about, you know, a society that no one talks about but everybody knows about.
	So these guys get into trouble, and Trump, of course, started off that way, and he ended up with four years of misery.
	One time after another, Stooges like Adam Schiff has obviously got some weird connection.
	And so you go, okay, well, what are you going to do about this?
	I'm not sure.
	Well, there's a full-on attack.
	on Biden from all sides and I would like to remind all of us as you're looking at certainly social media I don't really look at Twitter I don't really do anything else and then even barely that everyone's gleefully jumping up and down you know If you want to stop division in the country, stop doing that.
	Now you're acting like a libtard.
	Stop it.
	Stop.
	So this is an example of something that kind of everybody can get behind, and this old senile man just doesn't give a crap.
	And I think this report really spanned across the universe, or across the spectrum of right, left, as did the responses.
	It's this little thing.
	Yesterday, tremendous disrespect.
	I'm sorry, that was Trump's answer to it.
	I'm sorry, this is the Biden looking at his watch during the transfer.
	Yes, the Biden looking at his watch thing is quite the thing.
	Yeah, I mean, and well, so here's Trump.
	Biden brought this on himself if he's looking at his watch.
	Well...
	And is that the same thing with him falling asleep with that boy?
	By the way, I fell asleep.
	Was he looking at his watch?
	This is from Fox News.
	Gosh, I forget who the guy's name is.
	We'll hear his voice and know who he is.
	And he has an alibi for Joe.
	Imagine that!
	Let's go to Trey Yankst in Doha, Qatar.
	But Trey, just before we do, I just want to pick up...
	John Roberts, I think it is.
	...a little bit of what we were talking to Ari Fleischer about, and that is President Biden...
	Lifting up his wrists like this as the dignified transfer was happening.
	The president is known to wear a rosary on his left wrist that belonged to his late son, Beau.
	And it's possible that that may have been what the president was looking at.
	Again, we haven't heard an explanation from the White House.
	Wow, he's running interference for Joe.
	That's kind of interesting.
	Well, generally speaking, if you had a rosary, you would be holding it, and you would be going from bead to bead, and you wouldn't be looking at it.
	Right.
	Yes, thank you.
	In fact, you don't look at the rosary when you're fondling it.
	No, you go bead to bead.
	You do what you do with the rosary.
	That's a Catholic thing.
	I believe he could have had a rosary, but I don't think he'd be looking at it like he's looking at his watch.
	That's a good bit.
	I like it.
	So here's Trump in the old Rush Limbaugh time slot with Clay and Buck.
	Yesterday, tremendous disrespect was paid by Biden when he kept looking at his watch over and over again.
	I understand every time a coffin came off the plane, he was looking at his watch, and the parents and the relatives are just angry, as they should be now.
	Trump totally capitalizing on it.
	And this was the bit from this interview we did with these guys that I really liked.
	But I'll be honest with you.
	I am thinking about, Clay, doing something early because this is ridiculous what's happening.
	They're destroying our country.
	These people are destroying.
	They're using prosecutors to their own benefit.
	That's all they know how to do is cheat and use prosecutors to their own benefit.
	They have prosecutors all over the place going after Republicans, IRS going after Republicans.
	And we don't play that game.
	The Republicans haven't played that game with our guys, that's for sure.
	I may have to do something early.
	Did you hear that?
	Did you catch that?
	Yeah, I did.
	That's the first thing you said.
	I may have to do something early.
	Yeah, you know how that's being interpreted.
	He's coming back.
	Well, I know how, if I was going to be, if I was a talking head on one of these shows, I know how I'd interpret it, and it's going to be different, I bet you, than what you're going to tell me.
	Yes, the true believers think he's coming back, so okay, it wasn't August, maybe September.
	Yeah, they're nuts.
	What it might mean, and this has been done, there's some historical precedent, I can't name the president, who ended up running for Congress sometime after he was elected as president.
	Yes, and this is one of the strategies mentioned.
	He could run for House of Representatives and then would be made Speaker of the House.
	And then you only have to kill two people and he's president again.
	I didn't go that far.
	I didn't think that far ahead.
	That's a strategy, baby.
	That's how it works.
	Biden goes out by the 25th Amendment and then you get rid of...
	Then you can impeach Kamala.
	Kamala.
	Just for being hurt.
	And then you're out and you're out and boom.
	Yes.
	That's a beauty.
	Well, that reminds me of the QAnon report that I mentioned on the 3x3 this morning.
	Let me play a couple of clips through that.
	Sure.
	Kind of not in the news, and I think maybe part of this process of, like, disperging the...
	The Biden administration.
	Yeah, here's two examples.
	And these are reported in the international news, but it's lurking.
	And it's like stuff that, well, where did this information come from and who knew this?
	Remember Biden's drone strike to get rid of a couple of the guys from Ultra K? ISIS K? Special K, yeah.
	Yeah.
	I haven't heard this.
	Drone strike details.
	This was on New Tang Dynasty.
	They say the country also has to take responsibility for its actions, beginning with the recent U.S. drone strike that killed 10 civilians, including six children.
	Oh, gee, Shep Smith didn't mention that to me.
	No, maybe he will.
	But I mean, that was, where did that come from?
	Now, the other one, which I thought was the most interesting clip, that one of the most interesting clips I have, because they showed video.
	And this is the one, this is on France 24, this is the Afghan parades, and just play the clip and I'll tell you what I saw.
	I saw some of this.
	We begin in Afghanistan, where the country's new leaders have staged a military parade outside the city of Kandahar, comprised almost exclusively of looted U.S. Army equipment.
	That, as a team of technical experts, arrived in Kabul from Qatar at the request of the Taliban, with the aim of getting the city's airport back up and running for desperately needed aid deliveries.
	Hmm.
	So they showed this video.
	The cutter thing is another story that's not being told in this country where they're bringing cutter people in to set up the airport.
	The airport, yeah.
	And of course, you got it all there.
	I thought they disabled all this equipment they left behind.
	They had a parade of tanks and Humvees and all kinds of crazy looking devices.
	Vehicles.
	They were driving down in this huge parade while all the Taliban were dressed in American gear.
	Yeah, and I keep seeing article after article about how everything was smashed.
	There was actually a Qatari report.
	Oh man, I should have clipped that.
	It was just so boring.
	There was a Qatari report.
	Oh, go away.
	What is that?
	hangar showing these trashed aircraft and saying that really nothing had been left over but it looks so much like a propaganda piece and yeah you saw uh the the the military version of md-500 helicopters buzzing the crowd did you see the you see the black hawk that was uh had a had a piece of rope and a guy hanging by his neck that they were flying around no i missed that yeah yeah yeah Putting him to good use.
	Yeah, just slinging him around.
	There's a guy hanging only with helicopter.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	I mean, that's really taking it to the extreme.
	We're not getting any of that by our great mainstream media.
	We're getting none of it.
	Nothing.
	No, of course not.
	I mean, if I have to see stuff like that on France 24, I mean, that's really pathetic because it's about us.
	Yeah.
	I mean, I expect France 24 to have, you know, stuff about the yellow jackets and the different things going on in the world.
	No, no, they don't have any of that.
	They don't have anything about their backyards.
	No, they don't show that.
	You have to get that on Deutsche Welle.
	Yes, and then Deutsche Welle, you know, they don't show anything about the immigrants.
	No.
	Yeah, so that's why I enjoyed that hotel TV so much.
	Just flipping around like boom-ba-da-boom-ba-da-boom-ba-da-boom.
	Now, along with this, now let's just think CIA is actively, and it would make sense.
	I mean, CIA, I'm sure they run, let's just presume just for this show, CIA runs all of it.
	They really control, if you really want to know who's controlling a guy, Maybe it's the people who released this report, who leaked the transcript of Biden with the Afghani president.
	Have you been following this?
	Maybe.
	Okay, so here's the transcript.
	I'll just read the piece.
	Oh, yes.
	No, I have.
	Yes, I know what you're going to do.
	Okay.
	This is the piece that everyone's...
	And this is a leaked transcript.
	This is like what happened to Trump.
	Oh yeah, they did the same thing to Trump with the phony baloney leaks.
	Yes!
	And the media laps it up.
	So here it is.
	I don't mind the media lapping up this stuff because it's something you're supposed to do.
	But how about giving some, you know, pointing the finger at who's doing this?
	Exactly.
	That's news too, you know.
	So here's the transcript.
	Biden, you know, I'm a moment late, but I mean it sincerely.
	Hey, look!
	I want to make it clear that I'm not a military man any more than you are, but I have been meeting with our Pentagon folks and our national security people, and you have with ours and yours.
	And as you know, I need not tell you the perception around the world and in parts of Afghanistan, I believe, is that things aren't going well in the terms of the fight against the Taliban.
	And there's a need, whether it's true or not, there's a need to project a different picture.
	And so the whole call is our president telling the guy, hey, you know, you need to look like you're winning, douche.
	Use some of that Trump winning attitude because you're making us look bad over here.
	Go ahead and lie whether it's true or not.
	So for this to get out, and yes, the media lapsed it up, this is the intelligence agencies messing with Biden.
	Who else has these transcripts?
	How did they leak from Trump?
	The same people.
	It was the NSA. Yes, it was never really anti-Trump.
	It's like, hey, it's got to be pro-us.
	Us, the deep state, or whatever you want to call it, the guys on the inside.
	Sure, it's got to be NSA and CIA and FBI. These people are out of control.
	They are out of control.
	Can we just abolish them all for like a time out?
	Just for a year?
	Just...
	Everyone out of a job.
	Go do something.
	Take a jubilee moment.
	Learn to code.
	Learn to code.
	Seriously.
	No, that's never going to happen.
	And I think it's just important that you notice that this is going.
	It's fine.
	I mean, they're doing what they...
	I mean, I don't think that what they did with that leaked document is a bad thing.
	Probably, would they leak...
	I mean, it's good to know what's going on.
	I think it's...
	People talk a big game about transparency.
	Well, this is an interesting point.
	Okay.
	Everybody, whoa, blah, blah, blah.
	Transparency.
	So, okay, you're talking about transparency.
	You're lying to the public if you're not really transparent.
	So, well, you're big pro-transparency.
	Here, we're going to leak this.
	And so, oh, now I'm stuck with the facts.
	Well, I guess I wasn't as transparent as I could have been.
	I'm not completely against this.
	Yeah, no, I'm buying it.
	But I am against the idea.
	That we don't know where this is coming from.
	Or it's a leak that's just an anonymous brick with a note tied to it.
	Through the window.
	So not the way it works.
	Through the window.
	And the other thing that bothers me is all, and I think this bothers you when you read Glenn Greenwald or hear him, he's really annoyed by this.
	And so is Taibbi.
	Both lefties, both strong lefties, they're irked by the fact that these news organizations are just riddled with ex-CIA people who are still working there.
	Well, so, okay.
	So yeah, the transparency is good, but it's not good when the transparency is selective.
	That's the problem.
	So the transparency should go all the way to the end, and let's reveal the fact that maybe Richard Engel's getting two checks.
	Maybe some of these guys that work for MSNBC, I mean, they come and say, well, ex-CIA operative, now correspond for us.
	Special forces, FBI, yes.
	Yeah, let's get rid of these people.
	They shouldn't be telling us their opinions.
	Yeah, I agree.
	But transparency has to go either, you know, all the way or not at all.
	NBC decided to air two of Joe's speech flubs back-to-back in one 30-second report.
	And I think there's an illness.
	You know, I've been tracking these flubs where he takes a letter from the first word and inserts it into the second word.
	It happens with L's.
	Well, you pointed this out with Jen Psaki.
	Yeah, she had the global plandemic.
	There's something going on in the White House.
	The president touting the safe evacuation of more than 124,000 people as a, quote, extraordinary success.
	Extraordinary success of this mission was due to the incredible skill, bravely.
	Bravely.
	Not bravery, bravely.
	And selfless courage of the United States military.
	See what it is?
	He knew the word selfless was coming up.
	You have to be careful if you're a public speaker.
	You never want to confuse selfless with selfish.
	Everybody does this.
	And everyone does it.
	So I think this feeble-minded man was thinking ahead, and then, of course, the L slept.
	Now I'm doing it!
	Well, here's the thing.
	Yeah, but you're not doing it from a prompter.
	Now, it takes a long time for...
	I've seen this with people and I've seen the more typical example.
	Most people can't read from a prompter and sound natural.
	Yeah.
	Now, there's two reasons for that.
	One, the prompter copy is not written for them with their voice.
	Yeah, and they have no talent.
	Big deal.
	The second reason is they got no talent.
	And there are some people that...
	Never seen a prompter in their life, no matter how bad the copy is, read it like a breeze.
	You and I can do that.
	We can do that.
	Well, I really don't like just junk prompter copy, to be honest about it.
	But I've seen people that I've never seen, and I've read from a prompter for like four years, and so I could, you get a little better.
	But I've seen people that just right off the bat, boom, and Biden and these politicians, most of them that didn't run for higher office, rarely read from a prompter.
	I know Trump never did.
	When I was 19 and I just started doing television in the Netherlands, teleprompter is called AutoQ in the Netherlands.
	It's a brand name.
	And it was considered...
	Take it from cue cards.
	It was considered...
	Not done?
	The government facilities would not allow it?
	You were not allowed to read from prompter.
	You were expected, as a professional, to know what to say.
	And either you memorized it, or you just were able to talk, but the autocue was verboten.
	Nice.
	Yeah.
	Is that still true?
	No, no, no.
	But so it gave me chops.
	You know, I did that for three, four years on live television shows where I was the only host, anchor, center, doing all this stuff.
	And it really gave me chops.
	So once I got the prompter over at MTV, I'm like...
	Because, you know, if there would be someone, a cue card might be held up with three things I had to hit, you know, for a certain segment, just to make sure I had them.
	So I could, this is my in and out, I could glance, oh yeah, I know what's going on, I remember what to say.
	It's called talent, John.
	You and I have it.
	Now, let's go back to the talentless president.
	It was due to the incredible skill, bravely, and selfless courage of the United States military and our diplomats.
	While insisting despite the frantic final days and the loss of 13 U.S. service members, there was no way to carry out America's exit without chaos.
	There is no evacuation from the end of a war.
	No evacuations!
	No evacuations.
	No real conflict, no real evacuation.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	But we're doing the same that everyone did to Trump.
	We're just laughing about the president.
	Yeah.
	Everyone else did the Trump stuff.
	It was no fun.
	We couldn't find anything novel.
	It was already done 24 hours a day.
	Yeah, this is true.
	I mean, we tried to get some Trump stuff that was not already beaten to death.
	Mm-hmm.
	I mean, Covfefe?
	I mean, how much?
	That's still going on.
	Covfefe was magical.
	That was really, really good stuff.
	It's still going on.
	I love Covfefe.
	Covfefe felt really, really good to me.
	But with Biden, they're just like, they don't know what, they're beside themselves.
	Oh, I don't know what to do.
	You know, this guy's screwing us over because he's making us look like a bunch of dummies.
	Making the mainstream media look like the lamestream media that it is.
	It's embarrassing.
	Let's talk about this case now that I have a clip for it.
	Because now it's gone one step further.
	We've been following this real new story.
	But it's cool because most of when we're commenting on things, when we're deconstructing media, we approach it from an executive standpoint, like an executive producer would or a media executive.
	And so, you know, it sounds crazy, but yeah, media executives talk like that about women and about sex appeal of people on TV, etc.
	That's the business.
	And so now we have a real live example of this coming back to hit one of these douchebags in the face.
	This morning, Mike Richards is out as executive producer of Jeopardy!
	and Wheel of Fortune.
	Thank you very much.
	Welcome to Jeopardy.
	It comes just days after he stepped down as a new host of the quiz show amid backlash over derogatory comments and sexist remarks, including this interview on a podcast several years ago.
	Let me ask you a question.
	Okay.
	Have you ever taken a nude picture?
	I'm not answering that question to you, Mike Richards.
	Answer it right now to your fans.
	Have you?
	I mean, no, I haven't.
	Yes, you have.
	I have no idea.
	Sony Pictures, which produces both shows, says it was unaware of Richard's previous comments.
	And now, in a new memo atop executive writing, we had hoped that when Mike stepped down from the host position at Jeopardy, it would have minimized the disruption and internal difficulties we have all experienced these last few weeks.
	That clearly has not happened.
	I think at this point Sony had no choice but to let Mike Richards go.
	This has gone too far.
	It tainted the brand.
	It threatened to overshadow the new season of Jeopardy!
	I love it.
	Another Hollywood exec taken down by podcasting.
	Well, you know, that example was a piss poor reason to get rid of the guy, eh?
	Of course.
	But you made a comment in one of your emails, which I thought was just the choicest one, which is the Blossom Brigade got him.
	They finally got the guy.
	Yeah.
	Of course.
	Because Blossom is who the...
	What's her name is?
	Mayim Bialik.
	Mayim Bialik.
	Yeah, she used to be the little girl Blossom on this TV show.
	Well, she's also on...
	She's the nerdy doctor on Big Bang Theory.
	Big Bang Theory.
	So she's loaded.
	I mean, her work on Big Bang Theory probably brings her in $100,000 a month in residuals for the rest of her life.
	And I may be way low on that.
	Oh, yeah.
	That was such a huge show.
	Yeah.
	And it's still going on in syndication every which way.
	The Blossom Brigade.
	I'd forgotten it even said that.
	I've got to write that down.
	It was very funny when you said the Blossom Brigade got him, because she is like part of this whole thing, and she's the woman, and she wants to be the host, and they're going to give her some guest hosting, but she wants to be the host, and everyone's pushing for Geordi.
	Yeah, but they were pushing back.
	So the Blossom Brigade, they got this guy out.
	But then the...
	I don't know if Ken Jennings has a brigade.
	I'm actually...
	In fact, I know him.
	He's a pretty interesting guy.
	But Geordie LaForge, yeah, LeVar Burton, I think his brigade are the ones that dug up the anti-vax statements from Mayim Bialik.
	So that could be.
	But there is a bunch of politicking going on by these...
	Hollywood douchebags, and they're all Hollywood douchebags.
	And they don't have it under control.
	That's the beauty of it.
	They are not in control of their destiny because this is all being done with the mechanism of social media.
	It's beautiful to see.
	It's something to see.
	There's no doubt about that.
	But I will give my opinion.
	I've seen all three of these people as substitute hosts.
	Jennings is not good.
	He knows a lot.
	He's stiff.
	By the way, this is our executive producers talking to each other.
	Jennings is no good.
	Uh, Geordi is no good.
	Geordi!
	Geordi!
	And this is good!
	Hey, get that Geordi out of my face.
	The guy is no good.
	Yeah, no, Geordi is, uh, he should stick to the singing alphabet, the reading rainbow.
	Is that his show?
	I don't know what it is, but he's no good.
	Mary.
	Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
	I have a thought.
	I have a thought.
	What if we let Geordi do the show as host, But we make him wear the visor.
	Yeah, well that won't work.
	Because he can't see through the visor.
	Just make him wear the visor.
	Make him wear the visor.
	It would be cute.
	It's a cute idea, but let's just get to the point.
	Come on, why don't you get into producer mode, man?
	Come on, we've got to explore these great ideas.
	By the way, Aaron Rodgers was on the thing.
	No good.
	Aaron Rodgers stunk.
	He wanted to be the big, oh, I'm going to quit being a football player.
	I'm going to be this.
	Yeah, sure.
	Miriam, who is the consummate professional who can do anything, and she's smart.
	She is smarter than all of them.
	Maybe not as smart as Jennings, but she's got a degree in neurosciences.
	I don't know what it is.
	She's already slated to do the specials.
	I mean, she's already hired for that.
	And I will say this.
	She's good.
	I watched her.
	I liked her.
	I think she was the best.
	You get a woman in there.
	She's sharp.
	She's a woman of color.
	She's a comedian.
	She's a woman of color.
	It's perfect.
	She's not a woman of color yet, but she's, give her a nice tan, get her in there, she's gave her some straight lines, she's funny, she's quick-witted, I'd go with her, but this is a battle.
	I don't think Jordy's the, he's got a, you know.
	Well, here's a bigger question, because this is something, you know, succession planning is very important.
	So succession planning, you know, Steve Jobs wrote years before, you know, not even, but quite a while before he died, he said, hey man, I want to recommend to the board, Tom Collins should be the CEO of Apple, Tim Cook.
	And so they really didn't have any succession planning or they just decided to turn it into a reality show for this staple that is Jeopardy.
	I think the question should be, should a show like that, should it just be retired?
	Should it just go away and end?
	It makes money.
	You can't do that.
	It makes money.
	Well, how about this show?
	So if one of us comes to pass...
	I mean, we can't just have another host.
	I mean, this show should just end.
	Get Mo in.
	No, shouldn't it just end?
	Get Mo in.
	I mean, I can always do a show with Mo, you know, or you can do the show with Mo.
	Hey, guess what?
	You already do a show with Mo.
	But, hey, this is presuming you die first.
	Let's just look at it from your side.
	You die first.
	I know.
	I know.
	One of us dies first.
	Then what do we do?
	Get the wife in.
	Get the wife in.
	Curry and the Keeper.
	I like it.
	Curry and the Keeper.
	Great name for a show.
	It's got TV written all over it.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Anyway, so back to that.
	We don't want to belabor this.
	Yes, we do.
	But I think the irony of the whole thing is this jerk-off Richards gives himself the job.
	Yeah.
	He draws so much attention to himself that he ends up getting fired from both his job, his executive producership, and the EP job that he had over at Wheel of Fortune.
	He's out.
	I guarantee you there's something else.
	Something else is happening with this guy, too.
	Watch.
	Something weird is going to come out.
	Podcast.
	He's going to do a podcast.
	Well, of course.
	Inside Hollywood.
	Inside Hollywood.
	We have another interesting Me Too moment.
	This is a doozy.
	I just love how this is coming together.
	We take another look at the Theranos scandal with Elizabeth Holmes now going to trial.
	This is for those who forget.
	She was the Steve Jobs, the female Steve Jobs, Steve Jobs.
	She talked deeper than Steve Jobs.
	And she played that shit to the max.
	Anyone who says that she wasn't just acting this up and getting all those old doofus guys all hot and bothered to invest.
	And I'm talking big names.
	Big names.
	Like, was it George Shultz?
	Kissinger.
	Kissinger.
	I mean...
	They were all like, a whole bunch of these guys.
	I love your invention.
	She really played it well because they were defending her to the very end.
	And to this day, Tim Draper, the venture capitalist, I think, still thinks she's innocent as, you know, she's innocent as a drift of white snow.
	Would it be fair to say that she used her feminine features as power the way men use their masculine features as power in, In the business world and in the world of...
	It's more than fair to say.
	That's exactly what she did.
	She used her feminine wiles.
	Wiles?
	Ooh, is that with W-Y-L-E-S? I think it's W-I-L-E-S. Wiles.
	And what are feminine wiles?
	That's what she used.
	Hey, baby, I like your wiles.
	All right, listen to this report from ABC. A surprising development as Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of the blood testing company Theranos, prepares to go on trial for fraud.
	Her lawyers are now claiming the former billionaire was the victim of an abusive relationship with Theranos COO Sunny Balwani, who's also her ex-boyfriend.
	Court filings claim Balwani controlled what Holmes ate, how she dressed, and how much money she could spend.
	Balwani denies the allegations.
	The two are accused of misleading patients and investors with their blood testing technology.
	The prosecution is going to try to do to poke holes in this defense.
	They're allowed to have their expert interview Elizabeth Holmes and likely that expert is going to say that she did not suffer from this type of abuse or this syndrome.
	Holmes is also expected to claim that she suffered from PTSD following that relationship.
	If convicted, she could face decades in prison.
	Let's just call it what it is.
	What a hypocrite.
	Now she's in trouble?
	Now, oh, now it was all me too?
	Yeah.
	I read all the books.
	No, this is great.
	You start with your guy.
	This is your theme.
	You start with the feminine wiles, exploit men, make them look like fools, use everything you can as a girl to take advantage of the man.
	Yeah.
	And then when it turns on you, you got, oh, I'm just a bitch.
	Oh, no.
	Yeah.
	Exactly.
	Well, she's not going to work.
	Oh, no.
	I don't think she's going to get the big, you know, 30 years in jail.
	No.
	If she gets five years in jail, that's going to be enough to straighten her out.
	Depends on which jail.
	It could go the other way.
	There's a lot of these jails, man.
	A lot going on there.
	All right.
	I think we should take another break.
	Before we do, let's lighten the mood just a little bit.
	Okay.
	If you want to hear two grown men giggle with glee...
	Then you will like this clip from the Henrico Board of Education public commenting moment.
	We've seen a lot of these in the past few months with angry parents, whether it's about critical race theory or whether it's about mask mandates.
	And, you know, they get called on, they go up, they get to speak their two minutes.
	I guess you booked the...
	Why are you laughing?
	Why are you laughing?
	Because it reminds me of every doofus that goes up there and goes into a rant.
	Exactly.
	Like the Hale Fauci guy.
	So you submit your name ahead of time, and then, you know, they just go down the list, and they call each person, and these days, just cut the mic off after your allotted time.
	So at this particular Board of Education meeting, someone had pre-filled out a whole bunch of cool names.
	These people, unfortunately, weren't there, but the names got read.
	That you do not pass this policy in Virginia.
	Thank you so much, Ms.
	Thomas.
	We do appreciate you.
	Phil McCracken.
	Phil McCracken.
	Sulk.
	Souk.
	My headache.
	My headache.
	We got Don, we got one of the Simpsons writers that went in there.
	Wait, it gets better.
	Ophelia McHawk.
	Ophelia McHawk.
	Eileen Dover.
	Eileen Doller.
	Don Kiddick.
	Don Kiddick.
	Wayne Kerr.
	Wayne Kerr.
	Don Kiddick.
	My goodness.
	We need more of this in our world, don't you think?
	Oh, my crack.
	Come on.
	Oh, my crack.
	This is like the, you know, we too low.
	Bing dong ow.
	Holy fook.
	Holy fook.
	We need more of this, ladies and gentlemen.
	This is Good for the Soul.
	Laugh with us now!
	I'm going to show my salute by donating to no agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fabulous.
	Yeah, on no agenda in the morning.
	Apparently only Seymour Butts was left off the list.
	laughing That was just great.
	That was glorious.
	What a score.
	What a score.
	Whoever put that one together.
	Good job.
	So let's thank a few people for show 1378.
	Starting with Melody Fugizotto.
	$193.
	She wants some jobs karma.
	And, you know, this family has given us so much.
	We're not even going to wait until the end.
	We're going to give it to her now.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.

	Thank you.
	Now we'll reprise this on Sunday because your birthday is actually tomorrow.
	Tomorrow, yep.
	So if you missed out on this, which you probably may have, you may have, you would have one more shot at it.
	Well, it certainly seems like more people love you on your birthday.

	True that.
	That's the difference.
	Copy that.

	It's highly appreciated.
	It feels good.
	Good birthday.
	Good birthday week.
	Very, very happy.
	Thank you for supporting the No Agenda show.
	You are producing it, after all.
	It's your responsibility.
	Oh, on that one quick note, if you...
	There's a...
	People are doing things, I see it on social media a lot, they're doing screenshots.
	So they're on their phone, they see something, oh, screenshot, and then they send it or they post it.
	If you're emailing something to John or I, just the screenshot is useless.
	It's quite useless on social media, too.
	We need the link.
	So, please, not just the screenshots.
	If I don't say it, then no one will ever do it.
	It's just as important as supporting us with the treasure.
	We need the time and the talent piece to be good, too.
	Thank you all again.
	Thanks to everybody under 50 who are typically on our subscriptions.
	We have a number of them you can take a look at at Dvorak.org slash NA. And also they do that for anonymity.
	And thanks again for producing 1378.

	And I should mention...
	Before you play that jingle, these people were all born after a fling around New Year's.
	There are some things...
	When you said that, I just got a visual of my parents having sex, and it was completely unnecessary.
	Sorry.
	Sir DudeNameBen, Defender of Megawatts, Protector of the Electric Grid, now is known as Baron DudeNameBen, Defender of Megawatts, Defender of the Electric Bridge, Protector of Civilization.
	And he claims to protect North American Electric Grids.
	And we welcome him to these upper echelons of the No Agenda Gitmo Nation peerage.
	And thank you very much for your continued support.
	And good luck with the new gig.
	We're very, very happy for you.
	Could not be happier, in fact.
	Now we have two knightings to do, so that makes it very easy.
	With the two knighting knife, here you go.
	Oh, the two knighting thing.
	Yes, I'll pull mine out, and boom!
	Anonymous!
	And born stupid!
	Come on up here!
	That's okay.
	Well, you can just kneel here.
	You've got to kneel for this part, yeah.

	And thank you for supporting the No Agenda show.
	I just noticed that I don't have my meetups jingle here.
	I don't know what happened, so let's hit it, biatch.
	No agenda meetups.
	It's like a party.
	I've got no reports, but I do have the list of what's happening meetup-wise.
	This is where producers and human resources around Gitmo Nation get together, hang out, and just chat.
	Tomorrow, the 3rd of September, Sorrento, Italy meetup, 9 o'clock p.m., Central European summertime.
	Contact Sir Kevin of Irrigated Rice Fields for information on the location.
	Saturday, Midland, Texas.
	At noon, we have Sir Michael of Calgary and Vegas, who will be organizing that.
	I guess there's going to be some pool tables there at this particular venue.
	Cleveland area fans of Freedom Meetup noon at the Winking Lizard Bar in Beachwood, Ohio.
	The Fear of Freedom, Fear if Freedom, it probably is, Fear is Freedom Meetup in Chattanooga, Tennessee at Champy's Chicken on Saturday.
	Back at the Villa Rice, that's the Amsterdam Meetup.
	That'll be at 11.30 a.m.
	Organizers have all, Berber and Firmka have all the information.
	Remind, I got an email from Berber back.
	She's got some cool ideas for the Lowlands.
	Knoxville meetup also on Saturday at Crafty Bastard Brewery 6.
	Emery Place, Lenny's your organizer.
	Dixon County, Tennessee meetup at 7 o'clock on Saturday at Xander's Wood Fried Pizza.
	And finally on September 9th, there was nothing else in that Sunday area, I guess.
	We have next Thursday, Denver area Sunshine Appreciators meetup 6 o'clock at the City Park Denver Museum of Nature and Science.
	And also on the 9th in Tilburg, another Lowlands meetup in the Netherlands at the India Tango variant meetup at Beer Café Kandinsky.
	And these are your No Agenda meetups just for the next week.
	There's a whole bunch taking all the way through October.
	Go and check them out.
	They're at noagendameetups.com.
	It's free.
	It's completely self and producer organized.
	It's a great way to meet children from other lands.
	And it'll keep your amygdala in check.
	Go to noagendameetups.com.
	If you can't find one there, start one.
	It's easy.
	And they're just like a party.
	Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
	You want to be where you want me.
	Triggered or held the blame.
	You want to be where everybody feels the same.
	Just like a party.
	Alright, ISOs.
	I got none.
	Oh, okay, I have a couple then.
	I'll just play them in order.
	No agenda!
	That's one.
	I have...
	Don't do it.
	Two.
	Fouchism.
	Mm-hmm.
	What's this?
	Our country is being destroyed.
	I don't like it.
	I think that one, maybe this Corolla one.
	No agenda!
	Just because it's so weird.
	I don't have any other ones.
	I don't like any of those.
	I mean, I think the Trump one's okay.
	Well, it's bottom of the barrel, though.
	Yeah, it's totally bottom of the barrel.
	But, eh, it's okay.
	I mean, I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	I didn't get any.
	I was looking at my list.
	I said, well, I don't have any ISOs on here.
	I got some ISOs.
	I got ISOs, and I was thinking of going to listen to Sophia with an F. Oh, I want to, a little tech news, a little quick tech news break.
	Tech news, tech news, tech news break.
	I have new headphones.
	I want to alert everyone.
	You know, people like to know what gear we're using.
	And these are spectacular.
	Can you not tell how happy I am today?
	Do you think there was a little extra spring in my step?
	Yeah, you seem kind of jitty.
	Yeah, I'm jitty with it.
	My buddy Jeroen in Holland, you know, whenever you see your old radio guys, I did have a chance to have lunch with him.
	Yeah, you always talk about stuff like, hey, what are you doing?
	You talk about radio stuff.
	Yeah, about processing.
	Hey, we got a new, yeah, we got a new this, we got a new that.
	Yeah, it's like, what are you using?
	Nah, I like the OptiMod.
	He said, oh, gotta try these new headphones.
	Audio-Technica M50X, about 140 bucks.
	And they're over the years.
	And what you're not hearing, you don't hear the feedback anymore.
	These really clamp down, yet they're not uncomfortable.
	So they're actually sealing like they should.
	So you won't be yelling at my speakers.
	Exactly.
	Very happy with that.
	And then a new box came onto the market.
	It's not shipping yet.
	But of course, there's all these influencers on YouTube who get one to then promote.
	And I'm just flabbergasted because I really am interested in this.
	It's the Tascam Mixcast 4.
	And they did...
	It's basically like that, okay, my original design with Sir Gene, the Podcaster Pro, that was pretty much emulated by Rhoda with their Rodecaster.
	Yeah, and they never sent you one.
	Well, no, but they also have not, they're still missing bits and bobs that make it impossible to really use properly, even for our show.
	And MixCast has all of what they have and then some.
	And it's Tascam.
	I like Tascam.
	I've owned many Tascam devices.
	Okay, a couple of things about the brands.
	First of all, Audio-Technica makes great stuff.
	Mm-hmm.
	They make great mics.
	They make great headphones.
	They make great lavaliers.
	Everything they make is great.
	So I like them.
	Tascam, I've always had trouble with them in a PC environment because the drivers are never working right, right.
	It never ceases.
	It's not plug and play.
	I have all these issues in a PC environment using their gear.
	Well, I've always liked Tascam going back to, you should take a look at this picture, search for this, the Tascam Studio 8.
	And it was the precursor to a home digital audio workstation, except it had this big, you know, latch on the top and you open it up and there's a reel-to-reel in there.
	So it would write eight tracks to a quarter-inch tape.
	Yeah.
	You know, you could bounce stuff back and forth, and I really like that console.
	So I can't speak about the connections to computers, but basically they have all the compressor limiter, the noise gate, all of that stuff, and the Mix Minus.
	It's all in there, and I can't wait to get it.
	What's the name of this new product?
	It's the Tascam MixCast 4.
	And, you know, I think I will buy one because it's low enough risk.
	It's $5.99, which is a great price.
	Which is the price on the...
	I think it's $699.
	But I mean, when we were making the...
	I mean, you've got to know what you're doing to make it at that price.
	It's a hard price to get to.
	There's no way the Podcaster Pro could ever get to that price without big-scale manufacturing.
	But I would just like to say...
	It's got a lot of sliders on it.
	What are all those sliders for?
	I would like to say to anyone who works at Tascam, Send him one.
	Send me one too.
	Send me one.
	Yes, send us both one because I will give you feedback that will make this even better.
	It will make it even better.
	I'm the podfather, damn it.
	What's wrong with you people?
	Okay, so you got one, two, you got like four channels.
	No, no, it's, the whole thing is good.
	And it takes a phone, it'll take a phone call.
	It'll take USB. We don't need to go that deep into it.
	It's got buttons.
	It's got colorful buttons.
	The main thing it has is it also has a noise gate that you can configure on the USB channel, on the Bluetooth channel, and on the line-in channel.
	That was the problem, because I need to be able to noise gate you over clean feed.
	And they weren't making that possible, only on the mics, which is how Rota does it, which shows you they don't know shit.
	Because they're not real studio people.
	They would never do that.
	The Tascam people, they make odd devices.
	No, I agree.
	They make everything.
	Yeah.
	They're old pros.
	So I'm very excited.
	And I think it could actually...
	I can tell.
	I am.
	But, you know, I want one.
	I want one now.
	I'll give it back to you.
	But just let me test it.
	I think...
	Don't start making these offers to return stuff.
	It's a pain in the ass.
	Besides that, now it's used.
	Do you know that...
	What are they going to do with it?
	Apple used to have the program...
	They gave me an Apple II when I was at MTV. Early, early days.
	Daniel Paul was the guy's name.
	He was in charge of this program.
	And you signed a piece of paper with Apple that said it was on loan.
	But you just kept it.
	And I had this thing for eight years...
	And then one day they said, we need it back.
	I said, oh yeah, you still have that.
	And they were way into the...
	They get a new bean counter and all of a sudden they need it back.
	That's the reason.
	That was crazy.
	And then what do they do when they get it back?
	They just throw it out.
	Oh, of course.
	What else are you going to do with it?
	It's huge.
	It's so good.
	I did send it back.
	Well, this Tascam thing does look interesting.
	Yeah.
	It looks like a nice piece of cake.
	Yeah, and I'm surprised that some other, you know, where are these other guys?
	I mean, Samsung, for example.
	Where are these Chinese companies?
	Podcasting is a big deal.
	Last time I looked, you're going to tell me the real number, but last time I looked, there were four and a half million Podcasts.
	That means, even if these things don't hang in there, that means four and a half million or nine million, because there's two people usually that have to, you know, it's just yakking by yourself.
	Yeah.
	That's five million to ten million microphones that need to be sold, and then there could be a million or two million or four million of these consoles that could be sold.
	This could be a billion-dollar industry, but you have what?
	But Rode and these guys, the only two guys that come up with the product?
	Neither of whom are talking to the cash cow.
	I could bring it for them.
	I don't get it.
	In the last 90 days, a paltry 588,000 have updated of those 4.5 million.
	Yeah, so there's a half a million active users.
	Active podcasts.
	And that's a half a million of...
	If they sold a million...
	I mean, everyone who does the podcast, they're going to have to buy this thing.
	So you're talking about $599 million by selling a million of them.
	The point of this segment really was just to get a free device, but you're taking it quite far.
	You've got to know how to do this right.
	I totally suck.
	John's able to get cars, you know, whatever you want.
	I'll take care of that.
	I'll get that for you.
	He's showing you.
	I'm trying to give you some clue here.
	Yes, I appreciate that.
	Appreciate it.
	I do want to put everybody on notice.
	The 10 days of darkness could be coming.
	I've been tracking, as a good ham does, the solar storms, the CMEs.
	It's very possible we're going to see some outages, internet specifically.
	Nice.
	Yeah.
	I remember when, it must have been 2000, no, 1997 or 98, and that's when we first could get the satellite dishes with a small dish.
	Maybe it was DirecTV, I think.
	And, you know, you watch CNBC and all this stuff on the satellite.
	And there was a period of, I think, at least 14 days when these satellites got knocked out because of a solar storm.
	Do you remember that?
	I vaguely remember it because I had a dish at the era.
	I don't remember being knocked out for that long, but it could have been my, you know, I don't know.
	Yeah, there's been knocked out before.
	Uh, this is important.
	Important so everyone knows.
	Back now with the return of Americans hoarding toilet paper.
	Consumers emptied shelves at the start of the pandemic.
	And now Procter& Gamble, the nation's largest toilet paper maker, is ramping up production once again.
	The company says demand is rising due to the surge in COVID cases.
	This, by the way, is shameless.
	Shameful and very lame of ABC. It is obviously a sales tactic.
	Oh, let's call over to ABC. Hey, you know, we're ramping up production because of COVID variants, okay?
	And then they report it and people go, oh shoot, we better get some more toilet paper.
	That company should be boycotted for doing that.
	All these networks should be boycotted.
	Don't you think?
	Yeah, it's pretty bad.
	But the problem is the public goes and they see there's no shortage.
	They don't panic.
	So when they go and there's no toilet paper, then they panic and go driving around from place to place until they can find some.
	What they should do is plant some shortages.
	That's the way to go.
	Yeah.
	Well, they can do that.
	They can just not deliver to one or two places or deliver a little late.
	Sure.
	Yeah, it's very easy to do.
	The other big story, and then I think that's all I got.
	The other big story is local to us, Texas.
	The new abortion law went into place.
	I have a clip.
	The heartbeat law.
	Oh, good.
	Good.
	This, I think, came from Amy, if I'm lucky.
	I don't know why I didn't designate.
	But this is the abortions in Texas clip.
	Okay.
	In Texas, a near-total ban on abortions went into effect today, last midnight, after the U.S. Supreme Court failed to rule on an emergency petition filed by abortion providers seeking to block the measure.
	The law bars abortions just six weeks into a pregnancy before many people even know they're pregnant.
	There's no exception for rape or incest.
	By the way, stop.
	Stop the clip.
	I was blown by the nose.
	Yeah.
	The meme was, before they even know they're pregnant.
	I have heard that exact same phrase on every single report about this abortion bill.
	Mm-hmm.
	The exact same phrase.
	Everybody uses it.
	It's like a memo went out.
	Here, here you go.
	All right, play it out.
	As far as abortions just six weeks into a pregnancy before many people even know they're pregnant, there's no exception for rape or incest.
	The law also allows anyone in Texas to sue patients, medical workers, or even a patient's family or friends who, quote, aid and abet an abortion.
	This includes a cab driver who might take a woman to a clinic.
	Until now, no other six-week abortion ban has been allowed to go into effect in the United States.
	Reproductive justice advocates avowed to keep fighting.
	The American Civil Liberties Union tweeted, quote, This is a racial and economic catastrophe, a full-scale assault on patients, our health care providers, and our support systems.
	Yeah, Texas is getting a lot of hate for this.
	This was actually my favorite.
	Joe Biden took an oath to defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and Texan, and it's time that he does it.
	We're really the most hated of the states right now.
	I am thinking that there's something fishy about this whole thing.
	By the way, I want to mention to you Texans, this is what happened in California when the extreme right became the Republican Party.
	And ever since then, by the way, once the Democrats took over California and they could rig the elections ever since, it's been a one-party state when it never used to be.
	It used to be not a one-party state, but now it is.
	The Texans are being set up They're being set up for this to happen to them.
	Texas is going to become a one-party Democrat state because of stuff like this that shouldn't have even been employed.
	What was the point?
	What was the point?
	I'm in agreement with you on this.
	So there's two polarizing issues right now.
	One is our new voting regulations, for which we're being called a bunch of racist dicks.
	Oh, I got a clip for that, too.
	Same from Amy.
	They followed this clip.
	Okay, hold on.
	Let's play that.
	Texas voting.
	Then I can give you my boots-on-the-ground report.
	In other news from Texas, the Republican-controlled legislature has passed a sweeping voter restriction bill.
	The measure bar's drive-thru and 24-hour voting sites adds new identification requirements for absentee ballots, bans unsolicited mail-in ballot applications, and gives new authority to partisan poll watchers.
	State Democrats had successfully stalled the bill for several months by first staging a walkout, then fleeing Texas to deny the House a voting quorum.
	Texas Governor Greg Abbott is expected to sign the bill quickly.
	All right.
	So here's what's interesting.
	Actually, we have three major pieces of legislation.
	One is, as of...
	Oh crap!
	As of September 1st.
	We now have constitutional carry.
	You want to put your AK-47 and your Glock on your forehead and have them dangling?
	No problem.
	That's completely legal now in the state of Texas.
	And I believe, I think concealed as well, but I've got to double check on that.
	But it's really constitutional carry.
	It's like you can wear your guns anywhere you want.
	Two is the voting rules.
	And, of course, I've read through all of this legislation myself.
	It's not even that voluminous, to be quite honest.
	The voting stuff is very simple.
	Democrats don't give them a chance to cheat like they did in the last session, particularly with mail drop boxes.
	Send out a million ballots.
	This is bullcrap.
	The voting thing is hardly restrictive.
	Or you can't do drive-thru voting.
	Who does drive-thru voting?
	And again, well, it comes back to that and the identification, voter ID, which is, you know, Sharpton is the guy saying, oh, it's going to hurt black people, where, as I think we even talked about on the last show or one before, that that's a total distraction.
	This is to get all kinds of brown people People who have just walked into the country to get them to vote and make it easy for the fraud.
	It's plain and simple.
	It's for fraud, of course.
	So these Texas laws, you can look at them, it's not crazy, it's not out of the ordinary, it's certainly not Jim Crow and it's not racist.
	Now, the heartbeat abortion law, I hate this, I'm not a fan of this thing at all.
	I think, and it's very cut and dry.
	This is not a loophole.
	This is really very, very strict.
	I've never seen it like this in Texas.
	I don't like abortions at all.
	I'm pro-life, but I also adhere to whatever you want to do with your body up to a certain extent, which I think is beyond six weeks.
	And we've had some well-established science on first trimester.
	I The problem is not really that.
	It's more about the facilities, because if it's legal, then hospitals have to allow that.
	We have many hospital systems in Texas that are faith-based or faith-backed, maybe.
	It's more of a PR issue, but I don't think the government should be mucking about in any of this at all, and I think you're absolutely right.
	It is so stringent.
	That even most level-headed real Texans will say, that's crazy.
	This is way too tight.
	So I always thought it would be...
	My initial thinking was, you do it, you swing it all the way over here so it's crazy, and then you get some other people in in the midterm, or you bring it back up, and then you bring it to a more reasonable level that most people can agree on.
	But I think your idea of this being a way to flip a Democrat is spot on because I know a lot of conservative people who are like, no, no, this is not okay.
	This is a scam.
	Yeah.
	And whoever got suckered into putting this bill through, I'd like to do some research.
	There's something that Democrats had something to do with it.
	Yeah.
	This whole thing is just stinks of California.
	And once you guys lose to the Democrats, especially the corrupt ones that are bitching about the voting rights, you're going to be a Democrat state forever.
	And you're going to get you're going to you lose your lack of personal income tax.
	You're going to get ripped off by these people.
	That's what happened in California.
	We can't get rid of these people.
	I'm sure that Governor Newsom won't get recalled.
	If he does, it'll be a miracle.
	These ads are coming out now and it's just unbelievable.
	These guys get in there and you can't get rid of them.
	Stay safe!
	Yeah.
	Alright.
	Do I have one funny clip or anything left?
	I mean, I have a bunch of clips left.
	Uh...
	Oh yeah, let's just play this and I'll be done.
	I mean, there's a lot of clips left over for you.
	I have a lot of stuff too.
	This one's another little news story.
	This was again on Democracy Now!
	with Amy.
	And this is a new bogus environmental bureau that they dreamed up.
	Yes, I heard about this.
	The Biden administration announced it was creating a new Office of Climate Change and Health Equity, which will deal with the health impacts of the climate crisis and its disproportionate effects on poor communities.
	Assistant Health Secretary Rachel Levine laid out the office's main goals as building community resilience, reducing carbon emissions in healthcare, and recovery and infrastructure funding.
	Yes, I'm glad you brought this up.
	I too have a short clip, which I shall play, and I know exactly what's going on here.
	The Biden administration created a new federal office to address the health consequences of climate change and their disproportionate effects on poor and minority communities.
	The Department of Health and Human Services will oversee the Office of Climate Change and Health Equity, which will treat climate change as a public health issue.
	Officials say one of the first tasks will be to take accounting of greenhouse gas emissions from various parts of the health care sector.
	This is a, I have to hand it to him, genius move.
	Because it is the NIH and its subsidiary sister cancerous attachment, the CDC, who can, by law, shut people down and lock them in their homes.
	So if you have climate change under the health people and they say, oh, it's so bad, we all have to stay home to save the world because climate change could affect your health, they can legally do it.
	And I like the way they couch it to advantage the minority community.
	The minority community is not the one affected by the rising sea level.
	Climate change is racist.
	Come on.
	You know it is.
	It's a bunch of bullcrap.
	Climate change is racist.
	Climate change is racist.
	Anyway, here's how these douchebags are going to do it.
	They're going to connect it all, and Mrs.
	Trudeau gave it away just the other day in Scandinavia.
	What we learned from this climate, this COVID crisis...
	What did you say?
	What we learned from this climate, this COVID crisis...
	We will be applying to the climate crisis, to the housing crisis, to reconciliation, to making sure that everyone has good jobs and careers that carry them through and create opportunities for their kids.
	Get this prick out of office, Canadians.
	Hey, come on Canucks, get your shit together.
	Alrighty then.
	This wraps up your mainstream media deconstruction for today.
	We return on Sunday, bringing you more of the good stuff.
	Please remember us at dvorak.org.na.
	Coming up after this particular program, if you're listening live on noagendastream.com, we've got, oh, Planet Rage, a new show with Darren O'Neill and Larry from That Larry Show.
	Oh, we've got spin-offs.
	Larry?
	Yeah, Larry.
	From that Larry show.
	Well, that Larry show's pretty good.
	Interesting.
	Yeah, new show.

	Happy birthday, Mr.
	Podfather.
	Happy birthday to you.
	Happy birthday, Anna.
	Hey guys, so I'm just checking in.
	Look, I've been kind of on the fence about this for a while.
	That's why I've never spoke on it.
	But with the amount of people that I know recently that have gotten COVID and with like the numbers rising, I think it's important for me to say like...
	I got the vaccine.
	I think everybody should.
	I think it's really important, like, that we all do this just as, like, citizens, as Americans.
	We have to look out for each other and get this shit under control, guys.
	So, like, I suggest to all my followers, you guys make, set an appointment and get the vaccine first thing.
	Psych!
	Bitch!
	Yeah, you stick with me with that motherfucking needle.
	If you're sick, stay inside.
	Get over it.
	Tie it around my fucking ass.
	Psych!
	Bitch!
	Yeah, you stick to me with that motherfucking needle.
	If it ain't broke, don't make a shit.
	If you're sick, stay inside.
	Get over it.
	Tie away the motherfucking mask.
	It's the motherfucking flu.
	I hear the zephyr coming.
	See if I can turn that into a song.
	See if I can turn that into a song.
	I hear the Zeppard coming.
	It's coming, it's coming, it's coming.
	I hear the Zeppard coming.
	Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
	I hear the Zeppard coming.
	Let's go.
	Let's go.
	Adios, mofo.
