	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Sunday, October 10th, 2021.
	This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, episode 1389.
	This is no agenda.
	Let's go, Brandon!
	And broadcasting live from the heart of Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No.
	6 in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where we're not celebrating Double Ten Day, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	But we are celebrating 10-10.
	Well, we are, but Silicon Valley's not because it's bought and paid for by the Chinese.
	It's a Chinese operation.
	And that was accentuated yesterday.
	During our bi-weekly newsletter back and forth where John always sends me his copy for the newsletter, just have another set of eyes on it, look for some mistakes, etc.
	And I saw right off the bat, it said the Chinese community.
	I'm like, the Chinese Community Party?
	What is that?
	That must be Chinese Communist Party.
	What happened?
	It seemed like Microsoft Word decided to...
	It was probably misspelled, but they immediately assumed it was community.
	Chinese community.
	How could it ever be communist?
	So I think we've got something hot going on here, John.
	I think this Let's Go Brandon thing, I think that's got legs.
	I think it's, I think it, there's a name there that I'm using now, Let's Go Brandon.
	Let's Go Brandon.
	Hold on a second.
	This is O'Hare Airport.
	I'm asking you a safety passenger in Let's Go Brandon.
	Please report to T-10, Mr.
	Harvey.
	Passengers of Let's Go Brandon, please report to T-10, Mr.
	Harvey.
	Passengers of Let's Go Brandon, please report to T-10, Mr.
	Harvey.
	And, of course, it's seeping into the mainstream.
	This was on Fox News.
	Fox and Friends.
	Hey, I watch Fox News because it's America.
	It's my America.
	It's the real station telling the real truth every day.
	And, by the way, let's go, Brandon.
	Okay, all right.
	This is so powerful because it's not cursing.
	Everyone's in on the joke, but no one can really, in the mainstream, they can't really explain it.
	It's beautiful.
	This could bring down the presidency.
	Yeah, well, it's not going to do that, but it's definitely going to be a moment of humor.
	I love it.
	Absolutely love it.
	I think it's funny.
	I think people are catching on to it.
	And thank you, millennials and Zoomers, for bringing it to our life.
	That's how I see it.
	Did you see this COVID land part one documentary?
	No, I did not.
	Where was it?
	Oh, this is a classic, classic Infowars.
	Alex Jones, this is what he used to do a lot of.
	Yeah, you're right.
	They used to do a lot more of these.
	Yeah, it would be four, five hour videos.
	And it was before YouTube, it was on Google Video.
	Do we remember that?
	Video.google.com.
	Yeah, Google Video where you could upload stuff.
	That's before YouTube.
	And he would do these long videos and it would be, you know, basically narration and whatever video we could find.
	It was always grainy, crappy quality.
	And so now what they've done is they've done an anthology or a timeline, I would say.
	And it's going to be in five parts.
	The first part is out, which is called The Lockdown.
	And they show, because this is only 24 months of footage, everything's available.
	Shoot, go look at, in fact, I know that Rob Dew, producer, Sir Dusifer, that he often gets stuff off of our show notes.
	Bingit.io is where you can search for it.
	It is a festival of recognition for no-agenda producers.
	It starts with the Chinese falling down, face down in the streets, welding people in, the whole thing, the news just going on about it.
	Oh, the hospitals are overwhelmed.
	And they did a great job of showing the crickets nothing, the TikTok dances.
	You watch this as a no-agenda producer, you're like...
	Played it.
	Got that clip.
	Did that one.
	Remember this one?
	Oh yeah, we deconstructed that.
	It's insane.
	You're bowled over.
	Thank you.
	Yeah, I'm sure it's going to be great.
	Eight cars.
	Eight cars, ladies and gentlemen.
	This is the Zephyr.
	It's rolling through.
	Alert the boys and girls at CNBC's Squawk Box.
	We have a standard economy Bitcoin, $55,249.
	Oh my god!
	Woo!
	Listen to that horn!
	By the way, I found a UK foamer.
	Ooh.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	This is the full 20 seconds.
	And then we'll play the foamer bit.
	We're here at this wonderfully quaint station in Somerset called Freshford.
	We're about to see some GWR services blast on through.
	Hello, 158.
	It's your colleague, Johnny.
	Here's a short version.
	Yeah, I call bullshit.
	Hello, 158!
	Hello!
	What do you mean you call bullshit?
	What do you mean?
	I took this from the video myself.
	What are you talking about?
	Yeah, he's just doing the same thing the other guy did.
	He's just making fun of some genuine foamers.
	No, this guy's for real.
	Ah, come on.
	Wow.
	Did that laugh?
	Come on.
	Yes, he was hysterical.
	He was hysterical.
	He was jitty.
	Real deal.
	I can't believe it.
	Do we need to have certified foamers?
	Yes.
	There should be a foamers club.
	Foamerlicense.com?
	I mean, this...
	All right, everybody.
	Go register.
	I'm not going to do it.
	Foamer, foamer, foamer.
	There was a nine-car Zephyr the other day, and I was kind of surprised.
	The last car on the thing was some sort of a screwball.
	It wasn't like a rental.
	It was just a part of the real train, but it was like a club car at the very end.
	It was very different.
	I think things are looking up.
	No, I don't think so.
	We've got a lot of supply chain problems.
	Yeah, well that means things are looking up.
	That means the money's more money.
	Well, you know, they're bringing in the climate change, which I think is bringing a supply change, if you will.
	China is in real trouble with their coal issue.
	Yeah, well, they brought that one on themselves.
	Yes, they did, and they're trying to fix it.
	But the power crunch has gotten so bad that China is releasing Australian coal from bonded storage, despite a nearly year-long unofficial import ban on the fuel.
	That's a million metric tons of Australian coal that had been sitting in Chinese ports for a year.
	That sounds like a lot, but it's only the equivalent of one day's worth of China's coal imports.
	So unless they're going to start importing more Australian coal, the Chinese regime is still in trouble.
	But even if China is able to ease the coal shortage over the next few months, it's already having a tremendous effect on the global economy.
	According to Nomura, basically the Japanese Goldman Sachs, No.
	Many have already had to curb or stop production.
	While they may be overlooked by major foreign investors that don't cover these firms, the end result could be a shortage of everything from textiles to electronics components that could snarl supply chains and eat into the profits of a host of multinational companies.
	By the way, in our last show, we already played the clips where they released the...
	That's what he just said.
	No, he says unless they get more Australian coal.
	No, they released their bonded coal, which they had.
	Oh, no, yeah, that's just a bunch of coal in storage.
	That's what they had.
	But the coal...
	The embargo has been killed, and we played the clip on the last show, so I don't know how old this clip is, but it's got to be a week old.
	I think you're missing what he's saying, because in context, as I watched the whole report, I think it's the embargo.
	I don't know if they're actually shipping it.
	Doesn't seem like that's all clear.
	All that I could find is that they've released their bonded and trapped stuff.
	That's only one day's worth of coal.
	That's exactly right.
	And India, AP reports, they have maybe three, probably less than three days of stock in many of the plants there.
	And our dude named Ben, protector of megawatts, He explained exactly this because he was listening to us talk about the China coal issue.
	So here's an idea how much coal a power plant can burn.
	Oak Grove in Franklin, Texas burns 680 tons an hour per unit for two units that coal is delivered from the mine in just-in-time delivery.
	Remember, we have that issue, too.
	So they have about 10-day storage on site.
	And that's a lot of coal.
	That's a lot of coal.
	It's crazy.
	Here, play this clip.
	China Coal Needs 1 from the last show.
	Oh, from the last show?
	Yeah.
	Hold on a second.
	Coal Needs...
	China has recently resumed purchases of Australian coal.
	Okay, is that your whole point?
	Yeah.
	Okay, you got it.
	Fine.
	I still think that that's not enough and they have problems.
	And what we're seeing now is the shipping rates are actually going down.
	Because there's no demand for them from the Chinese production side.
	I think this is more serious than just releasing or getting new imports from Australia.
	There's more going on.
	There really is.
	We're seeing this also.
	Natural gas shortages now for, let's see, tight supplies from Russia, strong demand in China and Latin America, which has brought problems to the European Union.
	Now, I'm not saying that there are actual problems.
	I think that they're doing this on purpose to get the whole damn climate change thing spun up, to get that flywheel whipping around.
	So we go, oh, we're running out of the fossil fuel.
	We don't have enough wind.
	Oh, we're running out of natural gas.
	We don't have enough solar.
	Okay.
	You don't think so?
	I don't think so in the way that you're expressing it.
	I think there's a lot of, they like the idea of cutting, of increasing prices due to lack of supply.
	And I think that if it's just an economic trick, it's like all the backed up containers.
	Yeah, there's backed up containers mostly in LA. We don't have them here.
	I watched the 130 car train go by twice a day.
	Uh, which is bigger than ever.
	It used to be at 120.
	Now, of course, I'm an idiot to be counting these, but now it's 130.
	And, uh, I'm just not saying, I don't see it.
	Now, again, now I will kind of temper that by what my wife tells me.
	She's up in Port Angeles and she's bitching at me because Costco is half empty.
	You mean of supplies?
	Yeah.
	And, uh, And it's been that way for about three or four months, and she comes down here, and everything's fine.
	We got all the Costco, everything's full.
	And so she thinks I have a skewed view of things, so take that.
	You can take that, too.
	Now, I do have a series of clips about China-Taiwan, because today is 10-10 day, and I thought we'd at least discuss that.
	Sure, go ahead.
	Do something you like.
	Well, thank you.
	China-Taiwan-1 NPR. Today, Chinese leader Xi Jinping said he prefers that China take control of neighboring Taiwan through peaceful methods rather than military means, even as Chinese fighter jets have been conducting military drills in the airspace around Taiwan.
	This has been deeply worrying to Taiwan, a self-ruled island that shares a maritime border with China.
	But it is also the latest flashpoint between two world superpowers, with the United States supporting Taiwan and pushing back against what it sees as aggressive and destabilizing actions from China.
	We thought this would be a good time to get some insight on the dynamic between the U.S. and China, so we called Bonnie Glaser.
	She is the director of the Asia Program at the German Marshall Fund, which is a nonpartisan policy organization.
	Bonnie Glaser, thank you so much for joining us.
	Thanks for having me.
	People have been hearing about the conflict between the U.S. and China for some years now, but it seems to have escalated in recent years.
	So first, I just wanted to ask if you would take a step back and help us understand the main sources of tension.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Okay, a couple things.
	NPR is obviously pro-China.
	And don't we share a maritime border with China?
	I was going to say, what is this?
	The sharing of maritime border, that's a lot of countries.
	It's everybody that has a border on an ocean.
	Yeah, that was weird.
	That was done on purpose, I believe.
	It was done to make it sound as though they butted up against China.
	This is a very, very kind of a sickening report, and the whole thing, all these clips.
	But let's listen to what Bonnie has to say, part two.
	China's power has been rising, and its military capabilities are growing, its economy is growing, and it's actually narrowing the gap with the United States, which of course has been the sole superpower since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
	And China, not surprisingly, wants to defend its own interests as it has more capabilities.
	It has been acting more assertively abroad and pursuing policies at home that are also intended to enable China to dominate in the 21st century critical technologies.
	And Xi Jinping has been ruling in a much more authoritarian way than previous Chinese leaders.
	So there's been a lot more friction between the U.S. and China.
	And basically what they're trying to do now is to establish a new equilibrium between the two countries as this power balance gets closer.
	Okay.
	A new equilibrium.
	Yeah.
	What does that mean?
	Equity.
	Yeah, that's a good one.
	That's what it means.
	China-Taiwan 3.
	Let's see what it continues to say.
	So, in recent years, the Chinese government, as you just mentioned, has invested heavily in their military.
	And one area we see this especially is in the South China Sea.
	Can you give us some background on the conflict there?
	Like, why there?
	And why now?
	Well, the South China Sea has been an area that's been disputed for many years.
	There are six different claimants.
	And the Chinese have been building these outposts, which they really turned into military bases.
	And so they have been operating these very, very large Coast Guard ships and intimidating the other countries, not enabling them to develop the resources that are really rightfully theirs under the Convention on the Law of the Sea.
	So this includes fish.
	It includes energy.
	And they've also been using these military bases to signal that they might have some claims that go beyond legal maritime claims.
	And the United States and other Western countries are concerned that they will block freedom of navigation in the region.
	So we've seen the naval assets, not just of the U.S., but also Japan, Australia, France and other countries that have been conducting exercising in the South China Sea, just to demonstrate that these waters should remain open for everyone.
	Who is this woman from Dr.
	Suf's land?
	Isn't that the worst?
	Who is she again?
	Tell me.
	Who is this woman?
	She's a woman from the Marshall Fund who's an expert in China, and she talks like that when you just did.
	And she's insufferable like everybody else on this network.
	And does she really go into Japan at all, who have the largest problem with the islands in the South Japan Sea?
	If you haven't noticed, this report is about Taiwan.
	I know.
	There's nothing in there, really.
	All of a sudden we're talking about the South China Sea and all these different people squabbling.
	What about Taiwan?
	Is he going to get back to the topic?
	I don't know.
	I can't wait.
	I don't want to diminish the experience of this for Taiwan, but just keeping our focus on the dynamic between the U.S. and China.
	A record number of Chinese fighters have been performing military drills close to Taiwan in recent days.
	So how does the island play into the larger conflict between the U.S. and China?
	Well, Taiwan is really the one issue that the U.S. and China could really go to war over.
	And let's remember that both China and the U.S. have nuclear weapons.
	So if that escalated, this would be truly catastrophic.
	China, of course, sees that Taiwan is basically a province of China.
	What?
	And so, Xi Jinping, I think many worry, might give up on peaceful unification and eventually use force against Taiwan.
	So these flights are really intended to warn Taiwan not to go too far to pursue independence.
	They're also aimed at inducing a sense of psychological despair among the people, so they will essentially give up and agree to be part of China.
	Why does the United States back Taiwan in this conflict?
	The United States has a long history of relations with Taiwan, and also Taiwan is a democracy, a vibrant democracy.
	And the United States shouldn't take a position, and doesn't, on whether Taiwan is a sovereign state, whether it should eventually join China.
	Ultimately, that's up to the people on the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, those in China and in Taiwan.
	But we have a deep and abiding interest in ensuring that they settle those differences peacefully.
	This is the problem with think tanks and NPR or any kind of M5M. Oh, well, the think tanks, that's where the experts are, the specialists.
	And, of course, these people are paid to come up with these reports that skew one way or the other.
	It's insulting to the listener, particularly this woman's tone.
	But also, did they touch at all on the speeches from President Tsai?
	No, of course not.
	Who says International Day speech says, we're not going to back down?
	Is it Beijing must respect their country's sovereignty?
	Well, this is a pathetic situation.
	I don't understand how the Republic of China, to be honest about it, wasn't recognized immediately once they formed, when the Chinese took over China in the late 40s.
	You mean the Republic of Taiwan, you mean?
	No, it's called the Republic of China, ROC. Oh, yes, okay.
	The other one's the PRC. Right, right, right.
	So I'm surprised that the Republic of China wasn't recognized in the late 40s when they ran off the mainland and moved to Formosa, which is what that island was, and formed the country there, and it should have been recognized by the United Nations immediately.
	What happened?
	What happened?
	Why didn't that happen?
	World War II? No, at the end of the 40s.
	World War II ended in 46.
	Oh, you said 40, so I didn't know.
	No, 40s.
	I meant 40s, plural.
	But at the end of the 40s, which would be, you know, 49, let's say, 50, 1950, why didn't Eisenhower, why didn't Truman, why didn't Eisenhower, why didn't Kennedy, why didn't Nixon, why did nothing happen all these years ago?
	I think if Trump was re-elected, he may have to do something like that because he did move the Capitol.
	Well, we can't ask the dead guys, why do you think that is?
	Why do you think that didn't happen?
	You tell me.
	I have no idea.
	It makes no sense.
	They couldn't have been afraid of China because they were weak.
	In fact, when you visit China, if you visit the area like in Xiamen, which is right on the coast, There are armaments.
	I was taking a round.
	There are armaments all along the coast that the Chinese put up to protect themselves from the Kuomintang reinvading China from Formosa.
	It's right across the eye.
	It's right.
	You can actually see Taiwan from this part of the country.
	And so they were in a weak position.
	And I don't know.
	I have no idea why this never happened.
	It should have happened in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s.
	Anyway, was that the last couple?
	I think there's one more.
	No, I think that's all there is.
	Maybe there's five.
	Hold on a second.
	I was just going to say that here's what Xi Jinping said on the 110th anniversary of the revolution.
	He's called for peaceful reunification with Taiwan.
	After they sent 56 bombers to fly around.
	Let's have peace!
	This week, the CIA announced that it would create a new China mission center, which CIA Director William J. Burns said, quote, will further strengthen our collective work on the most important geopolitical threat we face in the 21st century and increasingly adversarial Chinese government, unquote.
	I'm going to ask you as an analyst, do you agree that China is the United States' most important geopolitical threat?
	I agree that China is the most important geopolitical challenge and in some ways, yes, poses a threat to the United States.
	That is not a threat of invasion of the continental United States, but is a threat to American interests around the world, not just even around China's periphery.
	But China at the United Nations is trying to push its own definition of human rights, which is not the universal definition.
	They don't support freedom of access to information on the internet, for example.
	So we have very, very different values.
	And I see China's trying to push its values into the international system that really causes me to be worried.
	So I think the CIA is doing the right thing.
	And this is emblematic of what the entire administration is doing.
	Before we let you go, are there areas in which China and the U.S. are or could be working as partners?
	Or is it just doomed to be adversarial?
	Well, I'm glad you asked that question because I don't believe that the relationship should be exclusively adversarial.
	And there are so many global issues that our two countries can work on along with the rest of the international community.
	I think climate change is at the top of that list.
	Yeah, I got the CIA story.
	I think it's a really big deal, at least the fact that it's being announced.
	And here's a quick report from the CIA broadcast system themselves.
	The CIA director has announced that the agency is establishing a major organization focused on expanding and coordinating intelligence gathering against China or about China.
	What does this mean for U.S.-China relations?
	That's right.
	We should hat-tip our colleague Olivia Gazzas, who follows the intelligence community, who helped break this story yesterday.
	What essentially this does is that for the first time now, it's a press release.
	And they're going to build entire teams all around the world, monitoring every aspect of Chinese society.
	And how it's trying to infiltrate the United States and the rest of the Western world.
	They haven't done this since the USSR was in existence back into the late 1980s.
	But there's a good understanding across parties and among all intelligence experts that there needs to be a renewed and a constant focus on China.
	You talk to people here at the White House, they get jazzed up about China no matter what the issue is, and in the intelligence community they understand it's a necessity as well.
	They say it's harder to infiltrate this country, given that the Chinese economy is so intertwined with the American economy, and they're launching a new push to recruit people who speak Mandarin to work for the CIA. A big understanding and reorganization that I noted yesterday.
	I saw a bunch of Republican national security foreign policy folks who said this is a very good and overdue idea.
	Paul, did they mention all the dead CIA spies in China because we had a mole of the CIA 20-year veteran who turned them all in?
	In fact, I think this is the announcement of the retaliation.
	Well, we'll see how retaliatory they end up actually being.
	I have one last clip.
	And this refers to Biden.
	If you remember, Biden is caught on the tarmac somewhere saying, what about Taiwan?
	What about Taiwan?
	He says, don't worry.
	We got it covered.
	We have the Taiwan.
	We had an agreement, the Taiwan agreement.
	We're sticking by it.
	He makes a big point of that.
	Well...
	Here's the analysis by the New Tang Dynasty, and nobody else reports this, by the way, the way this goes.
	This is, the clip is the Taiwan Agreement.
	President Biden tells reporters that during a phone call, he and Chinese leader Xi Jinping committed to abiding by the Taiwan Agreement.
	Well, China has, I've spoken with Xi about Taiwan.
	We agree, we'll abide by The Taiwan agreement, that's who we are, and we made it clear that I don't think we should be doing anything other than fighting by the agreement.
	Biden made the statement after days of provocations from the Chinese regime.
	Beijing deployed dozens of warplanes into Taiwan's air defense zone, but the two leaders might have different interpretations of what constitutes the Taiwan agreement.
	Biden appears to be referring to Washington's policy of only recognizing communist-controlled mainland China as China and not fully recognizing Taiwan.
	In contrast, the Chinese regime's view of the agreement is that other nations should not interfere in how it chooses to deal with Taiwan.
	The Chinese regime sent 56 warplanes near Taiwan on Monday, despite condemnation and a demand to stop issued by the United States a day earlier.
	So what exactly is the crux of the Taiwan agreement?
	Well, it seems, according to these guys, that there's two interpretations.
	But there's no text?
	There's no text?
	There's nothing I can read about it?
	I haven't found anything.
	Me neither.
	I think it was in the gentleman's agreement that was misunderstood by both parties.
	Well, if you don't write it down, you boobs, that's never going to work, especially if Biden, he doesn't remember.
	The idea is that ours is that we're just not going to recognize them as a country, which we've been following since, again, my complaint since the end of the 40s.
	And the Chinese, the PRC, the Communist Chinese Party's idea is that, hey, whatever happens, happens.
	That's the agreement.
	When I was a kid, and I am talking 10, I took tennis lessons.
	And I remember very specifically that not only my tennis racket, but pretty much everything around me came from Taiwan.
	And it was kind of a joke in America.
	Made in Taiwan.
	Yeah.
	Do you remember that?
	When Taiwan was like our main...
	Taiwan had a huge...
	They took over from the Made in Japan moniker.
	Right, yes, they did.
	Not in terms of...
	Of product.
	Well, no, in terms...
	No, I'm talking about categories.
	The precision engineering stuff all gravitated toward Japan to the point where they were doing hard...
	They could do hard...
	Your plastic green army men came from Taiwan.
	They were...
	Yes.
	And the Japanese were doing...
	Machinery, you know, precision machinery and things like that.
	And in fact, I remember I went to South Korea once to one of the visits to Samsung.
	And this was, I think, my first visit.
	It was a long time ago.
	And I asked them about this.
	They were making monitors.
	And they were starting to take over the monitor business.
	And they eventually took over the TV business.
	And I asked him, why don't they do hard disks there?
	He says, oh, the Japanese can do the hard disks.
	We're not that good at precision engineering.
	And that was the point that was made.
	That changed because the South Koreans do precision engineering now.
	And the Taiwanese started doing it.
	The Taiwanese are still, I don't know, anyone cares about this, but in terms of injection molding, Nobody in the world can do what the Taiwanese can do.
	Yeah, that's because they got so much feedback from American kids about the shitty seams on the Green Army men.
	It's like, my dude won't even stand.
	The seam underneath his foot, his base was messed up.
	He wouldn't even stand.
	You had to file it down yourself.
	Actually, you're probably right.
	It probably did result in them being so good at presenting.
	We helped Taiwan as children.
	I'm so proud of us.
	But anyway, so you're right.
	And it changed from one country.
	Now everything is made in China, including precision engineering, because we sent our engineers over there to show them how to do it.
	And so did the Japanese.
	And so did the Taiwanese.
	All the Taiwanese companies used to be made in Taiwan.
	They were all hooked into China.
	I mean...
	Yeah, I see a lot of the furniture coming from India, though.
	India seems to be head furniture.
	You know, for the stuff that you buy online.
	You know what I mean?
	Yeah.
	Like crate and barrel.
	Yeah, junk.
	We certainly don't make that stuff here.
	Where's Ron Swanson when you need some good wood?
	There is one other small issue with China and the United States relations.
	I don't know if this is part of the Taiwan agreement or not.
	We continue tonight and the U.S. Navy now confirming the nuclear-powered submarine, the USS Connecticut, and a collision striking an unknown object underwater in the Pacific.
	The boat now headed to port to assess the damage.
	You'll remember here, we took you on board a nuclear submarine in the Mediterranean.
	This was two years ago, the USS Florida.
	We saw that technology up close.
	We also saw how stealthy these submarines are.
	I want to bring in our chief global affairs correspondent, Martha Raddatz, because Martha, you've been on these submarines as well.
	A lot of people at home are going to be asking, how does this happen?
	How does a collision even take place?
	Well, David, as you and I both know, these nuclear-powered attack submarines are all about stealth.
	And in order to remain stealthy, the submarines will often turn off their active sonar so they can't be detected.
	But that leaves them essentially blind, relying on charts.
	And those charts would not show a sunken ship container or even sometimes a sea mountain.
	Back in 2005, the USS San Francisco hit a sea mountain off of Guam.
	Fortunately, this collision is not expected to be nearly as bad, but there were several sailors injured with bumps and bruises.
	The submarine is now on its way back to port.
	You know, with the amount of submariners we have amongst our producers, I can think of four, four offhand.
	Not a single report from any of them.
	About this.
	And here's another thing about this report.
	My understanding of this event was in the South China Sea, not the Pacific Ocean.
	I agree.
	This is a fast one pulled by...
	This is ABC. The woke ABC. Yep.
	So they said the Pacific.
	Well, yeah, I guess the South China Sea maybe, you know, kind of is in the Pacific.
	Well, I think it was meant to de-escalate the issues about it.
	You know, the report easily could have been problems in photography.
	You know, could have done that.
	I hope not.
	Well, that's only if you get Biden's sound guy.
	But yeah, that could have been the report.
	It could have been just, you know, oh, problems, problems, problems.
	Well, you heard South China Sea.
	I heard South China Sea.
	Why didn't they put that on ABC? You can just say, no, first of all, I can go on the man on the, I'd be a man on the street right now with a microphone and go ask people, where's the South China Sea?
	And they'll say, uh, the bottom of China?
	The bottom of China?
	No.
	Is it outside of Chicago?
	No, no, no.
	Don't tell me that.
	Go on the street.
	If you say to someone, where is the South China Sea?
	And they say Chicago, I will give you $100.
	I know.
	Sorry, I didn't mean to insult you.
	Worth your trouble.
	But I could do it.
	How about this, though?
	Maybe this was a vaccident.
	You know, everybody's vaccinated on them ships.
	Maybe the helmsman fell over.
	Yes, yes, blood clots.
	Hey, it can't be good.
	Having potential blood clots and spike proteins in your veins and then getting pressurized.
	Pressurized is not a good idea.
	Hey, but let's just stay with climate change for a second, since that's logical with China, because, oh yes, we'll be working very closely with them.
	Let's go over those coal numbers again that they're plowing through.
	Mega, mega tons.
	What I was going to talk about briefly is the announcement that Google and YouTube are going to demonetize, but that's just the beginning of it.
	The headline is, We'll Prohibit Ads and Monetization on Climate Denial Content.
	Oh, of course.
	And they've...
	What, that?
	Well, no, but they've also really gone into specifics.
	This includes content referring...
	Because, pay attention, John.
	If we were dependent upon Google or YouTube, we'd be screwed.
	Quote, this includes content referring to climate change as a hoax or a scam.
	They're very specific.
	Very specific.
	Claims denying that long-term trends show the global climate is warming, which, you know, I don't know if that's something that can be disputed that much.
	Claims denying that greenhouse gas emissions or human activity contribute to climate change.
	Oh, claims denying greenhouse gas emissions or human activity contribute to climate change.
	Isn't that interesting?
	So if you come up with actual proof that the...
	That we're not contributing to it because the sun may be doing more?
	Well, we're still contributing.
	This is the tricky language they're using.
	I mean, does human...
	If you're talking greenhouse gas emissions, whereas what I exhale from my body is now deemed a poison, let's call it a greenhouse gas, am I contributing?
	Well, yeah, of course.
	So that just ends all...
	So here's a question for you.
	John, how many percent of scientists believe that climate change is caused by humans?
	99.9.
	Give me the honest answer.
	You know the answer.
	Oh, 97.5.
	97%.
	97.
	97.
	You know what?
	There's been a lot of back and forth.
	Let's just say 98 just to make it good.
	No, 97.
	Stick with the number.
	97.
	97.
	Does this mean that...
	And this is not just of climate scientists who agreed with that in a small survey.
	No, no, no.
	The way we've been told, 98% of all scientists agree.
	Yeah, it's a done deal.
	So does that mean that the 2% of scientists, of all scientists in the world, which must be millions, really can't go on Google or YouTube anymore?
	That's what it means.
	They're no longer valid.
	They're no longer welcome.
	Just want to make sure that we're trusting the science.
	It's unbelievable.
	Here's the ad council with something creepy.
	As a scientist, I know by the time she takes her first breath, 9 billion more tons of carbon pollution will be in the air.
	When she takes her first steps, wildfires will have burned millions more acres she could have explored.
	By the time a child born today goes to college, it may be too late to leave them the world we promised.
	Our window to act on climate change is like watching them grow up.
	We blink and we miss it.
	Who is the Ad Council?
	Oh my god.
	The Ad Council is a public service arm of the advertising agencies they put into.
	It's like C-SPAN. Right.
	Well, but only it behooves their initiatives.
	So they all agree climate change is go, and then they all put money into the pot.
	There's more money in it than there is no money.
	So they put that money in there.
	There's no money in climate denial.
	No.
	Witness the no agenda show.
	Witness the podcasters.
	We're not climate deniers.
	We are news deconstructors.
	Yeah, okay.
	It just so happens that when we deconstruct certain things, we go against the narrative.
	We go against the narrative.
	What?
	But everyone's popping up again because, you know, the money is coming out.
	You know, Biden's in.
	We got everything good to go.
	We're getting a little bit excited.
	We have the transition from Corona to COVID. Do you remember Seth Godin?
	I do remember Seth Godin.
	Now, what was Seth Godin's role in life?
	He was a consultant, I always thought.
	Was he not?
	I can't remember Seth Godin.
	He wrote books.
	Wasn't he a futurist, maybe?
	He was an actor.
	Sounds like an actor to me.
	Hold on a second.
	Let's see what his Wikipedia says.
	Seth W. Godin is an American author and former dot-com business executive.
	Oh, really?
	But I thought that...
	Oh, yeah.
	He wrote numerous books.
	Here we go.
	Free Prize Inside.
	The Dip.
	These are business books.
	All books I've never heard of.
	I think he was mainly, this is where I know him from, at least at that time, he was like a marketing guy.
	He was a marketing guru.
	And I remember in the, let's say, late 90s, we're getting on towards 2000, dot-com bubble.
	I mean, he was the guy that could tell you exactly how it was going to work.
	So part futurist, but part marketing guy.
	So now, he's, yes?
	I was just going to say, it reminds me of the women, mostly women, who are the social network experts that companies bring in, their media, social media experts, and they can, you know, they're going to tell us all how to do social media, and you go look at their Twitter account, they got 530 followers.
	Oh, you mean?
	How good are you?
	You mean people like this?
	That's good!
	Woo!
	Baby!
	Let's get social.
	Let's get social.
	Let's get social media.
	Mary McCormick.
	Give it up.
	Mary McCoy.
	Mary McCoy.
	Woo!
	Yeah, that's exactly it.
	Those are marketing consultants singing.
	So that gives you an idea of what we feel of consultants in this show.
	In this regard.
	So Seth Godin, marketing guy, but he needs to hop on the train.
	He feels it all coming.
	So what is he doing?
	Oh yeah, baby.
	He's sending out personal invites with a video to everybody to contribute to his carbon almanac.
	Hey, it's Seth.
	Thank you for checking this out.
	Hey, it's Seth.
	Hey, like, you know, hey, everyone knows me.
	Hey, it's Seth.
	Hey, it's Seth.
	Thank you for checking this out.
	Here's a simple form you can fill out.
	We're going to be inviting a bunch of people to join a community that is getting together to write a book, to create something about climate, about the emergency that we're facing, about the facts on the ground.
	We're building it in discourse.
	We've got about 50 people contributing already.
	We'll share all the details with you when we can.
	Again, thank you for taking the time.
	When scammers like this are going public, you got to be careful.
	Now it's about to be ratcheted up.
	And beware of the following term, frontline communities.
	I had not heard of this.
	I have.
	Yes?
	But I never paid attention to it, but I have heard it, and now that you mention it, that you've heard it now, it may be something, yes, definitely pay attention.
	What does it really mean?
	According to Ecotrust, who are centering on frontline communities.
	Oh, that's good to know, because if anybody should be centering on them, it's those guys.
	The ecotrust people.
	Frontline communities are those that experience first and worst the consequences of climate change.
	No surprise.
	Those are like the guys who lived in paradise.
	No surprise.
	These are communities of color and low income whose neighborhoods...
	People in paradise were communities of color and low income and they seem to be very frontline when they burn to the ground.
	These are often communities...
	What kind of bullcrap are they trying to feed us here?
	These are communities of...
	The people in the Malibu Canyon that got burnt to the ground, that's a frontline community.
	There's no Hispanics there, or there are, but...
	Not that many.
	These are communities of color and low income whose neighborhoods often lack basic infrastructure to support them and who will be increasingly vulnerable as our climate deteriorates.
	These are native communities whose resources have been exploited and laborers whose daily work or living environments are polluted or toxic.
	And while these communities have a disproportionate wealth of experience living with the implications of climate change, they likely haven't benefited from the same deference on environmental issues with which ecotrust and other dominant culture organizers are privileged.
	I'm so happy Ecotrust is going to save them.
	Isn't climate change something that's happening universally around the globe?
	It's a global thing?
	It's only the frontline communities.
	Isn't it a global thing where everybody suffers from climate change because it's going to change everything?
	Yeah, but you have privilege, old white man.
	So shut up.
	This is the whole point.
	They're leveraging climate change for gender, race, etc.
	It's more of the same.
	This is getting old.
	I believe that the public is going to be lapping this up as much as they used to.
	I agree with you.
	I think that much less of the public is lapping up anything.
	I also was thinking just yesterday, when they talk about these numbers, for instance, 80% of the hospitals are vaccinated, and then the next day it's like 95%.
	So first of all, when they say about the whole U.S., do they really, really, really know that there's 80% fully vaccinated?
	Do they really have these numbers?
	I question that.
	Well, I'm stunned by that, that you question such a thing.
	Since all we do is report and we play clips, 75% of blah, blah, blah, 60% of blah, blah, the same blah, blah, blah.
	This said to be a, to use blah, blah, blah as a term.
	But you hear these guys, they say, well, it looks...
	And these numbers are all over the map.
	There's no official number.
	It's also a cool trick.
	Let's say at the hospital, at the Hill Country Central General, we could say on Monday, we could say 80% of everybody here is vaccinated.
	And then on Friday, we could say it's now 95%.
	And you know why?
	Why?
	Because 15% walked off the job.
	Exactly.
	Well, did you hear what happened up in the Seattle area?
	No.
	Because of the...
	They have a moronic governor up there called...
	Yeah, Inslee.
	Jay Inslee.
	And...
	So he had a statewide mandate and he mandated that all the people in all the ferries had to be vaccinated by a certain day.
	They all walked off the job.
	There were no ferries.
	Hundreds and hundreds of ferry crossings were canceled.
	The traffic is a snarl because there's no ferries going across.
	Ensley himself, who lives on one of the islands, can't get a ferry because the ferries aren't running because they all said, screw you guys.
	They really stood up for themselves and they just walked off the job.
	This is happening all over the country.
	It's not being reported hardly locally.
	I have a few reports, in fact.
	I have not gotten real confirmation, but something happened at Jacksonville Airport.
	First of all, Southwest canceled almost 600 flights.
	Yeah, this is Jacksonville, Florida.
	Yes.
	I heard this story, too.
	I think it's true.
	Well, what I'm hearing is that there might have been an ATC walkout.
	Now, they say ATC. I'm skeptical.
	This is why I have problems with it.
	And by the way, all the pilot forms, not a word, not even a mention of the rumor, which is odd.
	And the official report of what happened is, we experienced significant impact in the Florida airport yesterday evening after an FAA-imposed air traffic management program was implemented due to weather and resulted in a large number of cancellations.
	Air traffic control issues and disruptive weather have resulted in a high volume of cancellations.
	So I have never seen the ATC issues.
	Issues.
	Issues.
	That's not really an explanation.
	It's possible that that happened, but I don't know for sure.
	But we're losing a lot.
	We are losing a lot of good producers in key positions.
	Here we go.
	Producer who works at Red Hat.
	Boom.
	My company just announced today.
	Looks like there'll be a dude named Ben looking for a new gig.
	Sir Ernesto.
	Well, I just got the accept the vaccine or lose your job email from the company CEO. I work for IBM. No way around it.
	No testing option.
	No exemptions.
	Then we have...
	Got a report from Bad Chad from Colorado, EMS or EMT, with the fire department.
	And he...
	I'm sorry?
	Bad Chad had the shots.
	Bad Chad had the shots and he got shingles and had a mini stroke and was blind for a little bit.
	It was not good.
	He had a bad time.
	And so now there's tremendous shortage of police officers.
	And there's just a shortage of everything.
	Fire department, they cannot...
	Well, anyway, so I said, is this all because of vaccines?
	And this is, I think, a little more concerning than just people walking off the job.
	This is the same thing that's happening everywhere, I think, is people don't want to do the job.
	And here's what he writes.
	We haven't actually been defunded.
	Cops are leaving voluntarily, retiring if they're able, falling back to a bachelor's degree and some experience to get them into another field.
	In case you haven't noticed, there's a lot of job openings, and those that are still here are vocal on their plans to get out as soon as they can.
	There aren't bodies to fill the applications.
	Most recently, the city started offering a sign-on bonus of several thousand dollars.
	Sound familiar, health care?
	Veteran cops are leaving and the trickle of recruits that's replacing them are children.
	20, 21 years old may be good people, but it's hard to replace 20 or 30 years of experience with zero experience.
	Today, even at the fire department, we are below minimum staffing, literally cannot find people to come in for overtime, had to shut down my rig, he had an ambulance, and got moved from my typical safety and medical officer job to riding backwards on the truck.
	That means nothing to you, trust me.
	That is not good.
	That means you're now in junior firefighter position, which means they are in a very, very desperate situation.
	So this is a breakdown.
	And it's a breakdown not just because of vaccines, but I think the whole idea of just screw everybody.
	The public safety sector has an issue right now, and the vaccine thing hasn't helped it.
	No, it's exasperated it.
	It's made it worse.
	So why would you...
	Is that the right use of the word exasperated?
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	No, you are exasperated.
	Yeah, you can't.
	You're exasperated.
	I can be exasperated by the topic.
	Okay.
	Okay, thank you.
	Anyway, so what?
	The point is that you already have a problem, and it started with Black Lives Matter and defund the police and the whole thing, and then So right now, it's tenuous at that point.
	People are getting a little fed up.
	The cops don't like being thought of as jerks.
	No, certainly not.
	So the next thing you do is now you put extra requirements on top of all that, including the vaccine that they may or may not want, because especially the EMT guys who have seen what's happened or what happened to them.
	Exactly.
	So that's where a lot of nurses walked out.
	They saw these patients coming in because the shots are probably given...
	inappropriately or in the wrong way and people get sick.
	You can't do what Biden's...
	It's Biden's fault.
	He's the one calling for all this stuff.
	Yeah, and here's the real world results.
	September may be back to school month, but it's not back to work.
	According to the latest figures, the economy added 300,000 fewer jobs than expected, the most meager gain since last December.
	I thought that this was a really disappointing report.
	It was anemic.
	CBS News business analyst Jill Schlesinger.
	Overall, the big issue here is that we are not done with this virus.
	It is infecting people, and it is also infecting the economy.
	The problem isn't a lack of jobs, it's a lack of candidates.
	The latest figures show there are 1.5 jobs available for every unemployed American.
	The largest gap ever recorded.
	Why do you think there are so many people who are still reluctant to re-enter the workforce?
	People are still fearful of COVID and what it will be like in workplaces and ensuring their own safety.
	There are still challenges as it relates to child care, elder care.
	Mm-hmm.
	Okay.
	What she says...
	Is that people don't want to grab these shots because they're afraid of COVID. That's exactly what she's saying.
	She's full of crap, that woman.
	When her retirement is not coming soon enough.
	You want to hear something?
	This was my favorite.
	It's just 26 seconds outside of topic, but President Biden's poll numbers are historically bad.
	And apparently this is from polls that typically favor Democrats.
	So it's bad.
	And I think the let's go, Brandon, kind of shows you that it's bad and people have just given up.
	In fact, the people are exasperated with Joe Biden.
	And so what's next now is we have inflation, which is supposed to be temporary.
	And we have this taxes or this three and a half trillion dollar build back better plan.
	And this plan will be paid for by anyone making over $400,000 a year with extra taxation.
	But there's a problem here because, you know, oh my goodness, when you have an inflation like that with tax, it creates higher prices typically because people pass that on to the consumer.
	Maybe not immediately, but...
	Sorry?
	If you have the clip, I think you might have.
	Good.
	But why don't you play the clip?
	We'll talk about it.
	Obviously, the President's commitment.
	Sorry.
	Jen, why are you only in one ear?
	Let me do Jen properly.
	That's the way she does it.
	I don't like it when she does that.
	Stop that, Jen.
	Obviously, the President's commitment remains, not raising taxes for anyone making less than $400,000 a year.
	There are some, and I'm not sure if this is the case in this report, who argue that in the past, companies have passed on these costs to consumers.
	I'm not sure if that's the argument being made in this report.
	We feel that that's unfair and absurd, and the American people would not stand for that, but I will take a closer look at this report.
	Is she that stupid?
	Is she that stupid?
	Is that the one you hoped I had?
	Yep.
	Yes, she's that stupid to say it.
	That's double stupid.
	Yeah, first you're stupid to think it, and now you're stupid to say it.
	You're an idiot.
	If I'm running a company, and it costs me five bucks to sell a product, and the government's going to tax me an extra, say, what amounts to a dollar per item, I'll just add the dollar to the price of the product.
	Because I'm not going to...
	Of course not.
	Of course not.
	No, it's irresponsible.
	I should take a beating, is what she says.
	She's like...
	I can't believe it.
	I hate to tell you this.
	You want me to play it again, don't you?
	Because it's the worst.
	This is the stupidest thing and the most naive thing that anybody in that position that she's in can possibly say to the public, of course, and then somebody would record it and then we'd ridicule her for it, but she deserves it.
	Obviously, the President's commitment remains, not raising taxes for anyone making less than $400,000 a year.
	There are some, and I'm not sure if this is the case in this report, who argue that in the past, companies have passed on these costs to consumers.
	I'm not sure if that's the argument being made in this report.
	We feel that that's unfair and absurd, and the American people would not stand for that.
	But I will take a closer look at this report and get you a more substantive response.
	Go ahead, Jackie.
	American people won't stand for it.
	They have no choice.
	Yeah, I mean, really.
	In some cases, there's no choice.
	Well, I think it is.
	Everything's changing.
	We are in the middle of something really big.
	Big, big changes.
	And the hyperlink is in severe danger.
	The actual currency of the internet since its inception or the web, the hyperlink seems to be just going extinct.
	As witnessed by our otherwise very intelligent producers who for some reason keep sending me screenshots of articles with no link.
	This is very, very, very troubling.
	Today's Zoomers do no longer understand the value of the hyperlink.
	So someone will send me...
	This is how dumb it is.
	I'm sorry.
	Someone will send me a screenshot of a Twitter post that is of a retweet of an actual article.
	So I have to now go find this person by name.
	Got to go find that post to go find that article.
	Screenshots suck!
	Okay.
	And I'm very worried about it.
	Boy, we're talking about bringing up a personal pet peeve.
	Because things are changing and people have to stay on their game.
	People are giving up on stuff and falling and succumbing.
	Succumbing to the overlords.
	I don't know if you saw the newsletter afterwards finalized, but I had it.
	And it was I got it from No Agenda Social.
	This picture of this of the woman that the whistle, the quote unquote whistleblower who we spotted as a spook.
	And it's a tweet from her and she's and she's joined Twitter on October 6th and within a day.
	She's got a blue checkmark.
	She's got a blue checkmark within a day, and she's got already 50,000 followers within a day, and if you go now, it's like 70 or something.
	And I just keep looking at that, shaking my head, reminding me that we did have a clip of one of the women who was, I think, one of the disguised experts.
	Somebody who worked at the agency for a long time.
	And she said, well, we have a real problem with social media because we don't know if it's a tell.
	That people don't have an account.
	They've never had an account.
	They're not on LinkedIn.
	They're not on Twitter.
	They're not on Facebook.
	And she's worried that it's a tell.
	That it might indicate that they're intelligence people.
	Because a lot of them don't even have the same name in real life.
	And they use pseudonyms just consistently.
	Wasn't that...
	That was Kara Swisher.
	Maybe this is it.
	How do you compete for the best and the brightest when you know talent can easily go to Silicon Valley or Hollywood or any of these places where it's significantly more lucrative?
	Yeah, so I think the current generations are much more service-oriented.
	So if I can bring them in, get them kind of caught on our mission, and they go out and make money, I'll take them back, right?
	And so you can do a balance, and you don't have to make a choice.
	You're not deciding, I'm going to do this forever.
	That's the woman, though.
	You're right.
	It was in this interview that she brought this up.
	And she kind of sounds a little bit milieu-ishly like the Facebook.
	You think, right?
	You think, right?
	Here is, well, it didn't take long for this to happen.
	Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen is expected to meet with the January 6th House Select Committee following her scathing testimony on Capitol Hill.
	She blasted Facebook's use of artificial intelligence to catch hate speech and misinformation.
	The House Select Committee believes Haugen can provide insight into how Facebook was likely used to help facilitate the January 6th attack on the Capitol.
	The committee is asking for data on domestic extremists affiliated with efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
	I'm just going to state it again.
	I think that this woman is going to be used or her story in addition to regulating the internet or services on the internet.
	I think they're going to let some people off.
	She has the chops.
	RT did an article on her and discussed a bunch of things left out of her story and it included the fact that she Several annoying little details.
	The division she worked at at Facebook was the intelligence division.
	And she's just an obvious planted person.
	The media just laps it up.
	Laps it up, I've used the term twice.
	Well, they're idiots.
	Because they think Facebook is finally going down and they'll get some of that sweet, sweet ad revenue back.
	They are stupid.
	And I wanted to add, when Facebook gets regulated, and it will be a regulation of algorithms, probably, or no protection for algorithms, it'll give any Silicon Valley or any big platform, which we used to call UGC. This is when Section 230 was written.
	It was to protect UGC. Remember that?
	No.
	User-generated content.
	Oh, yes.
	UGC. Oh, yeah.
	It was all UGC. Are you a UGC play?
	So it was put in place for that.
	So they're going to regulate that because the comparison is out there.
	It's like big tobacco.
	So it is unhealthy for people.
	That means you have to have age limits.
	You have to have very narrow restrictions so that there's no confusion.
	And just like big tobacco, I posit you now that there will be a similar master states agreement For either taxation, because in the state of Texas, clearly, even though, just like tobacco, people will go on Facebook, it is going to cause some harm to people, and we need to be compensated for that.
	Okay, so here's a good one.
	So Mimi, she tells me, you know, all her friends at one time or another went into Facebook jail.
	And so they throw her, Mimi, into Facebook jail.
	Well, she is a troublemaker, to be honest.
	Well, she goes into Facebook jail for a post that is three years old.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, someone reported it.
	Well, either that or it's just some allegor.
	I told her it was an allegor, just plowing through old posts.
	Possible.
	And so she's off the platform for, they put her in jail for a week, I think it's about a week, which wasn't that much.
	And I said, well, that's interesting.
	So are you going to just, are you fed up and you're going to quit Facebook?
	And of course, what do you think she said?
	No, it's the only way I can keep up with some of these friends of mine.
	She's not quitting Facebook.
	I'd be pissed off.
	Well, I've not been on Facebook for a good four or five years.
	You've never had an account.
	You've done a good job of staying on.
	And Reddit.
	And Reddit.
	Reddit is blocked.
	I can't even get to any Reddit.
	I refuse to use Reddit.
	I would say that I would have lost the bet On your Facebook thing.
	I think we might have had a bet about that.
	I can't recall.
	Possibly.
	Well, you forgot about the bet, then it doesn't count.
	Then it doesn't exist.
	That's true.
	So, I would have bet serious money that this was not a possibility, and you did it.
	And I congratulate you.
	That's fantastic.
	I, of course, never had an account, and I only have a vague Instagram account, so I can check in on just photos.
	Yeah.
	Right, but if anyone who listens to the show and produces it knows, you're the better person.
	I mean, this is just an obvious fact.
	It's a fact.
	It's a fact.
	I am very happy about all this because, and I was talking to Tina about this last night, I am so happy this is taking place.
	We need all kinds of restrictions.
	We need as much as possible on these companies.
	Do as much as you can.
	Because I remember, I remember Alta Vista.
	No one needs a search engine.
	AV.com, baby.
	AltaVista.
	It's the one.
	It's good to go.
	And we got Google.
	I remember GeoCities.
	There's no way anyone can build a community like this on the internet ever again.
	GeoCities is where it's at.
	Until we got MySpace.
	And then MySpace.
	You don't need any place to put your videos, your music.
	This is where your friends are.
	I can't believe Tom Freston didn't buy it.
	What an idiot.
	That's where it's at.
	Enter Facebook.
	I mean, I can go on and on and on.
	Well, I would dispute your GeoCities to MySpace when it was actually live journal to MySpace.
	Okay, you don't have to cop a fucking attitude, but okay.
	It's an attitude.
	And then MySpace collapsed, if you recall, after Fox bought them.
	Yes.
	After Tom Freston, MTV Networks, declined and was fired for not buying MySpace.
	My point is clear, though.
	AOL was where it was at until it wasn't.
	Everything is replaceable.
	Now, Facebook, you're absolutely right, is unique when it comes to local advertising.
	But people just wanting to do shit, I think it's great.
	Everyone will move away.
	Well, I have to say...
	If you look at any other industry, the car industry has finally settled into the big three after they had a thousand other things.
	And there's big three are still around.
	Toyota comes around, but there's Japanese.
	They were making cars in Japan from the beginning, from the early days.
	I think at some point it stops.
	And I don't know that Google's going to be replaced by what you're using, which is, I can never remember the name of it.
	Neva.
	Neva.
	Neva Neva.
	I never said that.
	No, I never said that either.
	I never said you said that.
	I'm just saying they're not going to be replaced by them or anybody else.
	Duck Duck Go, who should advertise on radio now.
	And they're doing okay for themselves, I think.
	So you think they can never, no one can ever, you think, because this, let's write this down.
	You think no one can get market share away from Google, Facebook, Twitter, we'll just throw over YouTube, Instagram.
	No, I never said that.
	I'm asking, I'm asking, I'm asking.
	DuckDuckGo is getting market share.
	No, I said, no, no, that they will take it all away.
	Not just take some away.
	You think no one can ever replace Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc.?
	Twitter, I'm not putting that in the same camp.
	I think it's just a piece of crap.
	Just want to get it down.
	But Facebook is there for the long haul, and so is Google.
	Okay.
	Fine.
	Those two excluded.
	I think there's plenty of opportunity for things to change in a very significant way.
	And it's coming because listen to the two giant talking numbnuts on CNN during their bro handover.
	There's a fine line between disseminating information and having free speech and stopping people from saying what they want, censoring people.
	But I think that we are well beyond that point.
	This isn't about censorship.
	This is about doing what is right.
	The same thing with the tobacco companies, which I'll talk about, where the tobacco companies fought tooth and nail with very similar arguments as to what Mark Zuckerberg and others at Facebook are saying in defense of themselves.
	Now listen, we know it's not a cancer like a cigarette or disease like that, but it can be cancerous to our mentally.
	Plenty of people kill themselves.
	And to our society.
	And other things.
	Not just kill themselves, but they harm themselves, right?
	They harm others.
	They harm predatory behavior.
	You shouldn't be allowed to just bully people with no defense.
	Right.
	And look, I actually flipped this, because you're going to have the freedom fighters come at anybody who says, oh, look, he wants to take away your rights.
	You can't decide for yourself.
	The government has to do everything.
	Same kind of BS that they did with the vaccine.
	But look, I say, let's flip the script.
	You find me an area of our existence that is left alone the way this is.
	No newspaper you read.
	No television.
	No podcast.
	Okay?
	No radio station.
	There's nowhere else that you take in information that basically just says, hey man, it is what it is.
	These people are...
	Podcasts are safe, according to Chris Cuomo.
	We're safe.
	Even podcasts aren't as crazy as Facebook algorithms.
	Who knows?
	What is wrong with those two?
	Well, there's a lot wrong with those two.
	Now, there was a real whistleblower moving away from Facebook and Silicon Valley.
	Let me just check something.
	Yes.
	A Pfizer whistleblower.
	And a good one, finally.
	From Veritas.
	And this whistleblower came with some documentation from Pfizer, And it's dynamite.
	I love this.
	I work at a pharmaceutical company.
	I'm not an anti-vaxxer.
	I just believe in research and science.
	In this database, you came across a chain of emails discussing fetal tissue and the COVID vaccine.
	Vanessa Gelman, who works in Washington, D.C., is Senior Director of Worldwide Research.
	A question came up as an inquiry to our MedInfo group.
	They're asking, quote, did Pfizer make use of a cell line from an aborted fetus?
	They want you to leave out the highlighted part, which is the one or more cell lines with an origin that can be traced back to human fetal tissue has been used in laboratory tests associated with the vaccine program.
	And here we have your badge.
	You are an employee of Pfizer?
	I work at the McPherson, Kansas plant.
	It's one of the biggest plants in the operation of Pfizer.
	We produce some of the most units.
	From the perspective of corporate affairs, we want to avoid having the information on the fetal cell lines floating out there.
	We believe that the risk of communicating this right now outweighs any potential benefit that we could see, particularly with general members of the public who may take this information and use it in ways we may not want it out there.
	We have not received any questions from policymakers or media on this issue in the last few weeks, so we want to avoid raising this if possible.
	This is one of the core tenets of religious exemption.
	And they're hiding it.
	I like it.
	I thought it was a fairly well-known fact.
	Well, I think the fact is different than the executives of the company saying, shh, we don't want anyone to talk about this.
	I mean, that's smoking gun shit.
	That's what she was showing.
	She was showing emails, you know, again.
	No, she was being taken in.
	I mean, she didn't know that this was...
	This is a very good recording.
	Yeah, well, she's sitting there in the studio.
	This isn't one of...
	She came forward.
	She came forward.
	And, of course, here was the voicemail message she received the next day.
	My name is K.J. Wigglesworth.
	I'm from the corporate office.
	No way.
	Yeah, I question that, too, but let's listen to it anyway.
	My name is K.J. Wigglesworth.
	I'm from the corporate office of Pfizer Security in New York City.
	I'd like to pass a message on to you from Ian McKellar, who's the VP and site leader at the McPherson plant for Pfizer vaccines.
	We've been advised to let you know that you are not under any circumstances to return to work.
	Your termination is being processed at the current time.
	If you have any questions, contact Mr.
	McKellar.
	At the McPherson plant, and I'm sure that he will explain the reasons why.
	I think Wigglesworth is a cool name.
	It's a great name.
	Regardless.
	It's one of the great names.
	It's like a, yeah, it's a name that you find in an old 20s comedy novel.
	It's hard to believe that someone still has a name, Wigglesworth.
	It's cool, though.
	I like that.
	How do you get through school?
	As a Wigglesworth?
	Even an Adam was hard.
	I hated my name.
	Who's Adam hard?
	Well, listen.
	I was a very skinny, very gawky kid with Tourette's and a bad haircut with the name Adam.
	Do the math.
	It was not easy for me.
	People would, you know, they messed with me.
	It hurt my feelings.
	I still don't get that.
	Adam is a common name.
	No, it was certainly not a common name growing up.
	And it was always, Hey!
	Hey, Dweeb, where's Eve?
	When you already...
	Oh, okay.
	They would do that.
	And then the Dutch would not say Adam.
	They would say, Edum, Edum, Edum.
	And the worst part was there was a dog in our neighborhood whose name was Ere.
	And then my sisters would mess with me by saying, Ere, Ere, call the dog meaning me.
	So it's traumatic, John.
	Yes, my name is no good.
	It was a problem growing up.
	I have PTSD from that.
	I'm surprised you're not a Democrat.
	Let's take a look at some Pfizer marketing before we move on from the topic.
	There's not much to say other than it's a jab or your job these days.
	This is very, very sad, very messed up, and it's certainly not...
	Not happening everywhere.
	A lot of countries are now turning away from this concept.
	This is Cook County, which is...
	Cook County is where?
	Is that Nevada?
	Cook County?
	No, Illinois.
	Chicago.
	We are your doctors.
	You trust us.
	You trust us with your life.
	You trust us with those you love.
	So trust us when we say...
	Get vaccinated against COVID-19.
	The vaccines are safe.
	They are proven to work.
	You may have wanted to wait.
	I get it.
	But don't wait until it's too late.
	Trust us.
	Trust us.
	Hollywood douchebag, but don't they realize that this style of commercial doesn't work anymore?
	Well, first of all, these are probably actors, not real doctors.
	No!
	Well, find one of them, and if you can prove that, then this whole thing's a scam.
	Now, do we recall back in July of this year, the World Health Organization was very, very concerned about people doing something incredibly stupid.
	People who are thinking about mixing and matching.
	The World Health Organization's chief scientist on Monday advised against people mixing and matching COVID-19 vaccines from different manufacturers.
	So we remember this report.
	It was a big deal.
	It was, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, you can't be doing that!
	We could go back to March, April of last year in 2020 and find clips that said the same thing.
	It's been a known fact.
	Enter this week.
	Here she is once again, former Planned Parenthood Executive Director and Boston Bombing Marathon Emergency Medical Technician.
	Here she is now, CNN Correspondent, Leanna Nguyen.
	FDA and CDC review data around Moderna and Johnson& Johnson that they will allow a mix and match approach.
	First, because it's actually a matter of convenience.
	If you got Moderna, two doses, but now the pharmacy near you only has Pfizer, you should be allowed to get that.
	The mRNA vaccines really should be interchangeable.
	For people who got the Johnson& Johnson vaccine, especially for younger women, we know that there is an association between the Johnson& Johnson vaccine and a very rare but extremely serious blood clotting disorder in women under the age of 50.
	Now, if the J&J vaccine were the only vaccine available, I would say still get that.
	But the fact is that we actually have two other very safe and effective vaccines that don't cause the side effect in younger women.
	And so for me, I will not be getting a second dose of the J&J booster.
	I will want to get one of the mRNA vaccines as the booster.
	And I would hope that the FDA and CDC will look at the mix and match studies already being done here in the US, as well as the data available in other countries that support this type of mix and match approach.
	I mean, it's not even a fact, and she's already pushing it.
	And she's clearly saying, hey, don't wait.
	If you got J&J, don't be an idiot.
	Get some Pfizer.
	Get some Pfizer in them veins.
	Yeah, we've had clips of these top off and all the rest with it.
	The other vaccines.
	A top-off.
	Yes, a top-off.
	Remember the top-off?
	We have the Daily Beast.
	You want to talk about some disgusting?
	The Race to Save the World.
	The long-run global health edition brought to you by...
	Wait.
	This is the Daily...
	Who owns the Daily Beast?
	Who runs the Daily Beast?
	Is that just an independent...
	What kind of operation is that?
	It came out of Vanity Fair and...
	It was independent for a while.
	I think it's owned by somebody now.
	I'll look it up while you're doing that.
	Well, this fabulous...
	So again, this is a news organization, right?
	The Daily Beast, are they a news organization?
	Yes, they're supposed to be.
	Okay.
	The race to save the world.
	The marathon continues.
	The next installment will focus on using what we've learned from COVID-19 to form a long-term strategy for protecting the underserved from infectious diseases.
	And this is a big deal.
	People speak at this thing.
	We got Ron Klain is in there.
	Of course.
	We got all kinds of goodies in here.
	And also, Senior Director of Global Development, McCain Institute for International Leadership.
	The guy's name?
	All right, write this down.
	Tell me how you pronounce his name.
	His first name is F-R-O-N, and his last name is F-R-O-N, N-A-H-Z-I. Fraun...
	Fraun Nazi?
	What a shitty name.
	Fraun Nazi.
	Fraun Nazi.
	He thought it was bad having a name like Adam.
	Fraun Nazi.
	You're the one I thought was bad.
	I didn't know any of it.
	Anyway, this whole affair...
	I think Wigglesworth is what I'm thinking.
	This whole affair, the Daily Beast with these shills, is brought to you by Pfizer.
	Yeah.
	The news org.
	It's right there.
	It says it.
	In partnership with Pfizer.
	Yeah, well, this is how you do it.
	This is the only way you're going to make money.
	Make money, yeah.
	The only way you're going to make money.
	It's true.
	Because you've got to compete with Facebook, bastards.
	Daily Beast is owned by the Daily Beast Corporation, LLC. Okay, well, they're shills for Pfizer.
	They're taking the money for that.
	It's disgusting.
	They have to.
	They're not making any money.
	You see, but we don't do that here.
	No, they're also part of IAC, the international...
	Oh, Barry Diller.
	Barry Diller's a commercial whore.
	Yeah.
	I mean, nothing wrong with it, but, oh, yeah.
	If it's part of IAC, then, yeah, definitely.
	Yeah, they're part of IAC. So, as we have...
	There was no real narrative, for some reason, the past couple of days.
	No news narrative.
	They don't know really what to do with boosters.
	Well, actually, here's a precursor from ABC, from Dr.
	Jan, about vaccinating children, little children.
	There was some news about vaccines yesterday.
	So, let's start with kids and the COVID-19 vaccine.
	What's the latest on that?
	Yeah.
	And more good news for parents and pediatricians alike specifically from Pfizer about their COVID-19.
	So yesterday they formally requested FDA give emergency use authorization to the COVID-19 vaccine for this age group, 5 through 11.
	This is a two-dose regimen.
	Three weeks apart.
	It is a lower dose than used in adults and older teens.
	This is, by the way, called a bridging clinical trial.
	They enrolled about 3,000 children.
	If you remember back, there were over 40,000 adults used.
	They were using some of the safety data, so that's why they didn't need to enroll 40,000 children.
	The date on the timeline here, FDA is tentatively set to meet October 26th to review this data, and then we could hear an official recommendation soon thereafter.
	Can't wait.
	I'm so excited.
	No mention of Sweden and Denmark both putting Moderna on pause for younger age groups.
	Because, I don't know, not too good for the kids.
	But maybe that's only in Scandinavia.
	Dr.
	Jen is back to tell us about something very exciting, which is the flu's coming back.
	Also something from the CDC director telling everybody, get your vaccine, but...
	Get your vaccine, but...
	Also something from the CDC director telling everybody, get your vaccine, but...
	That's right.
	Influenza.
	And the CDC director, Dr.
	Rochelle Walensky, made some news yesterday.
	I'm just reminding people how seriously we need to take influenza.
	You can get both vaccines on the same day or you can get your flu shot.
	Same day as you get a COVID-19 booster.
	You can get it any time from now through April.
	It's never too late.
	The concern this year, by the way, is that we didn't see a lot of influenza last year.
	So some of the residual immune protection that we normally can carry into the next flu season, we don't have it.
	And remember, this is not a perfect vaccine, but some protection.
	Always, always better than none.
	When does that protection kick in on the flu vaccine?
	Two weeks after.
	I'm glad you asked.
	Okay.
	Have you gotten your flu shot yet?
	No.
	I do every year.
	Oh, she hasn't even had her flu shot yet, the good doctor.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, yeah.
	So it just went away and it's back.
	It's crazy.
	It's really phenomenal how these things work.
	But they think we're stupid.
	They really do think we're stupid.
	Have you watched Matt Taibbi's podcast, his video?
	Or have you listened to his podcast recently?
	We've had clips of it.
	Oh, recently?
	Yeah, recently.
	I used to clip it about a year ago, but I haven't clipped it recently.
	I'm a little concerned about him.
	I think he may have some kind of adverse reaction to the vaccine or something.
	Well, tell me why.
	Listen to this.
	Listen to the sounds he's making.
	What I don't understand is, I mean, why he's...
	No one cares about...
	People care about debt when it's brought up.
	It's not like an inherently distressing thing.
	What is that?
	Look.
	Come on.
	Something's wrong with Matt Taibbi.
	Something's wrong with him.
	Oh, man.
	There is something wrong.
	Listen to this.
	Oh, hold on a second.
	Why am I not hearing anything?
	Well, that's weird.
	Oops.
	Well, there's something definitely wrong, Matt, if you're not hearing anything.
	Wow, what just happened here?
	That's Matt.
	Something is wrong with him.
	And now, the other one?
	No, I don't know.
	Look, I'm concerned for him.
	That first one, that's a permanent fixture.
	The Taibbi moan.
	Well, I don't know if he's having the adverse events or if our vice president is having adverse events.
	Did you see her with the kids?
	No, I did not.
	You have me on that.
	Yeah, so she's at an observatory.
	Because, you know, why would you do anything like go to the border, try and work on something?
	I don't do anything.
	Just do something.
	But no, she's with a bunch of middle schoolers.
	So these are not idiot kids and girls.
	And they're standing there and she's showing a telescope.
	And it's during the day.
	It's not at night or anything.
	Does she have adopted kids?
	Is she around children at all, ever?
	That's a good question.
	You got me looking it up.
	Okay.
	Well, while you're looking that up, here we go.
	It gives us a sense of the magnitude of it all.
	Earth is kind of small, right?
	The earth is like a speck compared to the sun.
	We have designs.
	I mean, look at the design of this land.
	And the people and the smart people and the scientists and the engineers who came up with the idea that if you build something that looks like that, you can see the sun.
	Yeah.
	And you can see the moon.
	Right?
	Well, wait till you guys see the moon.
	I'm talking.
	I just, I don't know what it is about those craters on the moon.
	You always dream with ambition.
	Have big dreams.
	You remember that?
	Yes.
	She's a moron.
	Very strange.
	So, I can't find that she has any kids.
	I thought she had...
	Well, she's an auntie.
	Auntie!
	She's an auntie.
	That's what it is.
	Now, I'm a little pissed off.
	I had this great clip that I was going to end with, which is about this Talos digital ID wallet, and I'd kind of tighten it up, and so the clip I had has no modulation for some reason.
	This is a stepmother to her husband's two children.
	How old are they?
	Are they still in the house?
	They can't be in the house.
	She acts like an idiot around these children.
	There's no age on here.
	I don't know.
	So anyway, so I really want to play this promo from the Talos digital ID wallet because that kind of fits in with all of these children and the world they're going to have.
	But you screwed it up.
	Well, I can play it.
	It's just it's about 30 seconds longer.
	So it's about two and a half minutes.
	I think if you don't like it, you let me know and then we'll change it.
	Here we go.
	It's a girl in bed waking up.
	First thing she does, of course...
	Let's get her phone.
	...and me, her digital ID wallet issued by the government to offer a wide range of identity services.
	In fact, I'm a handy way of proving and protecting her identity both online and face to face.
	Let's have a closer look at what I can do.
	I can help governments to better communicate with citizens.
	Right now, I'm reminding Lucy of the appointment she needs to schedule for her mandatory vaccination.
	Listen to this.
	Just listen to her day.
	Listen to her day.
	So the first thing she's getting scheduled is her mandatory vaccination.
	As it was stated, mandatory.
	Reminding Lucy of the appointment she needs to schedule for her mandatory vaccination.
	Okay, she's having her coffee now.
	Mmm, yum.
	Time to go to her exam.
	Lucy is a bit stressed out.
	I'm here to make it easy for her to prove she is the right candidate.
	Scanning QR codes.
	And secure connection between her phone and the examiners.
	Making sure you're the right slave.
	Scan, perfect.
	Good to go.
	This is the part I cut out.
	Exam passed successfully.
	Quick stop at the doctor's before celebrating.
	And no time to lose.
	On the way, Lucy uses me to declare her passport lost.
	Oh no!
	But do you need one anymore?
	She needs it for her upcoming road trip.
	No issue.
	She can request an emergency digital passport without having to go to the authorities.
	I make official admin a lot smoother.
	And that's not all.
	I can also help Lucy request a birth certificate.
	Pay her taxes or prove who she is when onboarding to new services, such as opening a bank account.
	Stop.
	Yes.
	Doesn't she are...
	Don't they know who she...
	Didn't she?
	Why does she need any of that stuff?
	This passport has already done all that work in advance.
	Well, exactly.
	The passport thing, I think they make a mistake.
	But the way I read it is they're trying to transition you into thinking only digital passport.
	Like who needs the paper thing?
	It's stupid.
	I lost it.
	It got stolen.
	Doesn't matter.
	You can now have it in your digital ID wallet from Palos.
	That's the point.
	This is a great life this lady is having.
	It's almost over.
	...who she is when onboarding to new services, such as opening a bank account.
	I allow Lucy to certify her healthcare coverage entitlement.
	Healthcare coverage entitlement.
	This is going to be a beautiful world.
	To decide whether to authorize the doctor to access her medical records or not, ensuring her control over her personal data.
	Lucy needs one more thing before being all set for her trip to Australia.
	She can get in?
	I help her share her driver's license credentials online.
	Oh, yeah.
	So that she doesn't have to wait hours in a queue to collect the car when she gets to Brisbane.
	Queue?
	The rental company benefits from secure and accurate information, and Lucy from a smooth experience.
	Notice how they benefit.
	Hold on a second.
	How is that going to change the amount of time you wait for the damn car?
	You get off a plane, you get to the airport, there's the...
	I don't see how you can do what they're claiming.
	Oh, no.
	Of course.
	If it just has your driver's license on it, you still have to show up.
	No, no.
	You don't understand how the wallet functions.
	So you've already guaranteed yourself in payment, and then when you walk out of the plane to the car rental, you just scan the QR code and get into your car.
	There's nothing else to do.
	It's like the Hertz Gold Club.
	It's nothing special.
	Well, it's also like that old Emerald Club.
	You just jump in a car in a certain area.
	Grab anyone, yeah.
	And then you show the card as you're leaving through the exit.
	You still have to do that.
	Yeah, but that's on your phone.
	That's on your phone.
	It's the...
	My phone's dead.
	What is it?
	Battery died.
	I got an Apple phone.
	The battery died.
	I can't replace the battery.
	I got to take it in for service.
	I can't pop the back off like I can on a good cheap phone and put a new battery in it.
	Now I got a dead phone.
	So what am I going to do?
	What happens when my phone goes dead?
	You do not pass go and you collect your boomer status.
	Lucy's friends are waiting for her inside the bar to allow her to get in.
	I simply generate a QR code that proves Lucy is old enough so she doesn't have to share all her ID details with the bar staff.
	See, this is just like authentication is what they're doing now.
	Oh, wait a minute.
	Authentication.
	And of course, a 17-year-old girl...
	Who has friends who are hackers and computer nerds.
	They can't generate a phony QR code and that she can just flash that.
	Can they?
	Why would she do that?
	She's happy with her life this way.
	I don't understand why you're pushing back.
	This is utopian.
	So yes, I'm Lucy's best companion.
	I protect her identity and official credentials wherever she goes.
	I provide secured access to public and private services and allow her to have full control over her data privacy.
	In other words, I give the right access to the right data for the right person.
	I am also trusted by governments to best support countries' digital transformation.
	Hold on.
	These guys can pound salt.
	Just listen to the last 30 seconds.
	Wait, she's still in the bar.
	No, listen to the last 30 seconds.
	She's in the bar.
	She gets pickpocketed.
	The system is well known to everybody.
	The pickpocket grabs the thing, punches up a car rental, got it all figured out.
	This is the guy and so what?
	You know, no one's going to notice with the sex because you got all these barcodes and everything.
	You just pass right through everything.
	Jumps in a car, drives it to Mexico as part of a car thievery ring and ships it off to Europe.
	What's to prevent that from happening consistently?
	You can rent two or three cars and drive into Mexico and have them shipped off somewhere to the Middle East.
	Well, I'm just waiting for you to say this will not be successful.
	It will not take off.
	Please say it.
	Please.
	I think it's a winner.
	Damn it!
	Because if you say it's not going to be successful, it'll be huge!
	I give the right access to the right data to the right person.
	I am also trusted by governments to best support countries' digital transformation, fight against ID fraud, and deliver smooth public services.
	I am the Talus Digital ID Wallet.
	There you go.
	Yeah.
	She's very excited about this life.
	And I think a lot of people will think this is very handy.
	No, she's a person, real person.
	And she did not interact with any men during her whole day.
	She was only around women and coffee and by herself a lot.
	And her best companion is her digital ID wallet.
	And yeah, there's all kinds of holes, but I think that people want this.
	Don't you understand?
	Nobody in their right mind wants this.
	Notice the qualifier.
	Yes, enter your mass fealty formation, which I'm just going to add to your subsect.
	We are in fealty formation at this moment.
	And it's changing the mass hysteria to compliance with ease.
	With ease.
	Not the people that listen to this show.
	I'm sorry?
	I said not to the people that listen to this show.
	No, but we have to alert the people that listen to this show what to look out for.
	Because the zombies can be dangerous.
	And with that...
	I'd like to thank you for your courage to say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in John C. Dvorak today.
	John C. Dvorak, everybody!
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
	Abner Curry.
	In the morning, I'm a recipient of the C-Boost and Rafi in the air, subs of the water.
	Also, in the morning, all the names of the Nights out there.
	In the morning to the trolls in the troll room, hanging out at trollroom.io, where they are doing their thing.
	They troll along.
	I did ask if someone could give me the...
	Ratings, the overnight ratings for, I don't know if they make them anymore, for Saturday Night Live.
	So I'm going to ask you that one more time while I have your attention.
	And hands up, let me see how they're scurrying around.
	We have 2,281 trolls on deck.
	Welcome, trolls.
	It's good to Sunday.
	It's good to be alive.
	Good to be a podcaster.
	So why did you want the overnights for Saturday Night Live?
	In my further quest to find out how big the meltdown is of the M5M, their season opener last week with Owen Wilson debuted 50% less than the season closer last year.
	And so they brought in the big guns last night and they had Kim Kardashian.
	I mean, that's desperation.
	Because Owen Wilson, and it was not a bad show, it was just people don't give a shit, as I keep predicting.
	Owen Wilson should be able to bring a lot more in than they did, and 50% is a huge issue.
	And so, you know, then they bring in, as I said, the big guns.
	So I wanted to know if it had worked out at all.
	And the fact that there's no news about it is probably telling.
	But I think it's important to know.
	So that's trollroom.io trolls.
	Come on, get on the stick.
	I'm doing other things here.
	Because they produce, you know, they do.
	They produce troll stuff.
	And you can join them at trollroom.io and listen live to the No Agenda show, many other live shows and podcasts.
	It's a 24-hour stream, noagendastream.com.
	And again, you can get straight to the trolls or the stream by going to trollroom.io.
	And if that's too much...
	Or if it's not what you're looking for, you can always follow us on the future of decentralized social media, which we're already living in, noagendasocial.com.
	I am Adam at noagendasocial.com.
	John C. Devorak at noagendasocial.com.
	You can follow them from any Mastodon account, any...
	Mastodon server in the Fediverse, in the Federation.
	Give it a shot.
	If you can't find one that you like, you could start your own up.
	It's very easy to do.
	There's lots of instructions.
	You could even run it from an old laptop from home as long as you don't have too many people on it.
	Give it a shot.
	And then I'd like to thank the artist for episode 1388.
	The title of that was The Sandwich Generation.
	Cover art brought to us by Mountain Jay, which was the FBI face bag investigation badge, Agent 33, Department of Internet Justice, on the case.
	And I think we both agreed easily on that one, but I think there was some other stuff we talked about.
	Do you recall what we were looking at?
	Well, yeah.
	There was a couple of things.
	I thought there was a lot of pieces that were good.
	There was one specific thing we...
	A lot of spy versus spy, which is like, no.
	Yeah, as mentioned, it wasn't very good.
	We weren't going to do that.
	I don't see it.
	Whatever it was.
	I did like the Mona.
	The Neal cow in the field.
	I thought that was funny.
	Yeah, you did like that.
	You did like the Mona.
	Where did it go?
	I don't see the Mona anymore.
	It's at the very bottom of the page.
	Oh yes, there it is.
	And there's a couple CIA things that Darren O'Neill did a couple obvious pieces.
	We ended up, I think, both choosing the face bag investigation.
	Actually, you like the Kenny Ben, not a spook girl.
	I did like the Kenny's, but yeah, I tended to like the bordering on cheesecake.
	But the problem, again, it had the starburst in the background.
	And there was a number of pieces that employed it, but we're not going to use that for a while because we used it with the, what's her name, piece, which is a communist.
	What's her name?
	Greta.
	Oh, right, right, right.
	Yeah, yeah, exactly.
	And it had a starburst in the background.
	And this has a starburst.
	There's a couple other starbursts.
	And, you know, you don't have to, don't use one for a while.
	It's just, it's not going to work.
	And the reason I didn't like the face bag investigation unit that much because it was monochromatic.
	And I'd like to...
	Yeah.
	The badge, yeah.
	If the badge was made out of silver or something, I would like it better.
	We would have liked to have seen it.
	Yeah.
	We would have liked to have seen it a little bit better.
	But it was classic Noah Jen that had all the elements in there.
	So, I think we're pretty happy.
	Yeah.
	That was a good one.
	It's a good piece.
	But again, I'd like to...
	But then again, the artists have like...
	I don't know how much time they spend on any one piece.
	I know Darren O'Neill does about five, so he spends about 20 minutes max.
	So I think 20 minutes is probably what somebody will spend on these.
	Unless they really have a great idea and they have to tune it up.
	So, I don't know.
	I mean, to make a metallic badge at the spur of the moment like that, unless you already have a template, is probably impossible.
	Although, you can steal somebody else's badge and then just erase it, but then you ruin the metallic aspect.
	Nah, it's probably the best that could be done.
	I spoke for about 20 minutes at the Italian Podcasting Festival.
	Yay!
	Yay!
	The Italian Podcasting Festival, which was a real thing.
	It was partially in person, but mainly online.
	And Willow, of course, gave me a great line to use for my opening.
	I wrote it down because I knew that I would forget it.
	Here it is.
	For anyone who can speak Italian.
	Buongiorno a tutti, a quelli belli e anche a quelli brutti.
	Which means?
	Good morning to everybody.
	Good morning to all the beautiful people and all the ugly people.
	And she said that that would kill.
	Did it?
	Well, it killed with the organizers because, of course, I'm doing this to a dead camera, right?
	And there's no feedback from the audience.
	It's worse.
	You know, I just see myself, so I have to, like, cover that up.
	Things that kill usually do need an audience as opposed to just...
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	But...
	It's like my spasm joke, which I used in Vancouver once.
	Just say spasm, the guy says to me, you'll get a big laugh.
	And I said spasm, and I got a big laugh.
	You had no idea why, but it was good enough for you.
	I still have no idea why.
	Who cares?
	Who cares?
	Spasm is good to go.
	Did you do Megyn Kelly?
	Well, no, wait.
	I was going to say, one of the things that I talked about, people always want to know, how do I make money and how do I grow my audience?
	That is your typical podcast conference.
	So I said, well, I'm going to tell you how.
	And the first thing you do, I said, here's podfather rule of thumb.
	It's very simple.
	When you release, release on the same day, approximately the same time.
	Always.
	That's what you need.
	You need to do that.
	Oops, hold on a second.
	October 9, Telecast SNL drew...
	I was up from last week's premiere, but not much.
	They went from a 3.5 to a 3.8.
	They're dead.
	Dead in the water.
	So I said, the first thing you need to do is, because people live towards that time frame.
	Most people don't listen to the Noah Jenner show on Sunday, they listen on Monday.
	And if they get up at four in the morning, they know it's going to be there for them.
	So these are the things that are important.
	And I said...
	Even if you're just doing a different color, do something with your artwork on every single show.
	It's free advertising.
	It's free marketing.
	It's free attention space that you can manipulate, and it works in pretty much every podcast app.
	People will see something new and something different, and that is one of the successes of the No Agenda show.
	You have a good tip there for people who don't have all this cash of artists that we have.
	Well, but I'm saying...
	Let's say you have a really good...
	You get a well-designed logo, art piece.
	Just change the background color.
	There are infinite number of colors.
	Filters.
	You do your Obama filter, that stylized one.
	You can do that too.
	You can do a lot.
	Just do that yourself with Photoshop.
	It's very simple.
	But above all, to be completely successful, you want to use a decent podcast app.
	And you want one that's 2.0.
	So please try one.
	Get a better one at newpodcastapps.com.
	And yes, Megyn Kelly is Tuesday.
	And I will be preaching no agenda and 2.0 to Megyn Kelly, I hope.
	It's coming.
	So in other words, this Tuesday.
	Yeah, it's live on Tuesday.
	It's live.
	It's live!
	I'm doing it live!
	It's only on XM Serious whatever.
	Then it's on the podcast.
	So her podcast is the Serious XM whatever.
	And what does it post?
	Does she follow your rule?
	I don't know.
	Unlikely.
	I doubt that Megyn Kelly follows any of my rules.
	You don't know that.
	But thank you everybody for giving me some tips on how to approach the interview.
	Which is just playing to her stuff.
	She hates woke schools.
	Although I'd like to stay away from that.
	Hates woke schools?
	What does that mean?
	Oh my gosh, she took her children out of school in Manhattan.
	Oh, woke schools.
	Yes.
	Yeah, well, what's it got to do with you?
	I have another tip.
	We talked about this and I gave you a couple ideas.
	But I have another idea, one final idea I think will work.
	Okay.
	Shirtless.
	Yeah.
	How about a shirtless?
	Think about it.
	Give me your theory, please.
	Tell me how this works.
	Okay, you go on.
	You've got no shirt on.
	You're just there, bare-chested.
	Am I showing my nipples?
	Am I just showing chest hair?
	Of course, yeah.
	Am I showing my dad bod?
	Am I showing all the way down to my waistline?
	You're going to be lower waist high.
	It's going to be...
	It's just going to be whatever you normally would be.
	It's only going to be shirtless.
	I can't wait for the punchline, John.
	That is the punchline.
	Now, the thing is, it'll be distracting enough and so unusual, you'll get a lot of viral activity.
	That won't detract at all from my message, do you think?
	Dude, it's not a good look.
	Go for it.
	It's shirtless.
	Instead of that, why don't we just thank our executive producers and associate executive producers for episode 1389 of the No Agenda Show.
	These are the people who brought the treasure of the trifecta, the time, talent, treasure.
	And we kick it off with Sonia from Barnevelt, Wisconsin.
	Huh.
	It's a Dutch name.
	Barneveld, Wisconsin.
	Probably pronounced Barnveld.
	Barnveld, yeah.
	$1,000.
	And she says, this instant night is for my recently departed husband, Jim.
	Please posthumously night him, night YYZ, loving Long Islander.
	At the round table, have Balvenie and New York thin crust pizza.
	I forced him to listen on so many road trips, he even came to the Des Moines meetup just to meet Adam, still one of his favorite pictures, hanging next to one of his Mustangs, which is a place of honor.
	Thank you for all you do.
	From Sonia.
	And his name will be Sir Aymoudon von Saar, will become Knight, YYZ, loving Long Islander.
	That's sad.
	Yeah, too bad.
	It sucks.
	I'm so sorry to hear that.
	Actually, I think I saw this come in.
	I would love to see the picture.
	I don't have a copy of the picture.
	And we will, of course, have your Balvenie and New York Thin Crust Pizza on hand.
	Love is lit.
	Next is Ella Kopestek.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Kopesteky.
	In Bristol, Rhode Island.
	Ooh, a Rhode Islander.
	464.
	Hey, John and Adam, my donation reflects a dollar for each day that passed since I last saw my mom.
	She raised me to think for myself and yet won't see me since I refuse to accept the vaccine into my life.
	No...
	I am beyond grateful to the both of you for your courage and draw from it daily.
	You are both a 10 out of 10 Shout out to my pack, Chris Chopper and Skipper.
	Chris Chopper and Skipper.
	Love is lit, no jingles, no karma.
	Ella.
	All right, Ella, thank you.
	Percy from Parts Unknown in Australia, 34346, says, I started listening to the No Agenda show after Adam's first appearance on the Joe Rogan show.
	Well, it's the first one of the show, so...
	Rogan donation.
	Now, why would you make a raspberry?
	That wasn't a raspberry, that was a cow moo.
	Oh, it sounded like a raspberry.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	Oh, now I hear it.
	I think the jingle compressor hit it.
	This donation represents $333.33 for me, plus $10.13 as a birthday donation for my smoking hot girlfriend, Liana, whose birthday is on 10-13.
	We plan to attend the Bastrop meetup on the 16th.
	Yeah, we'll see you there.
	There's no way we could attend our first meeting as douchebags.
	I heard there's going to be a kissing booth and a petting zoo.
	Please, de-douche us both.
	You've been de-douched.
	Huge thanks to the both of you for all you do and to all the producers and Gitmo Nation for helping to produce the best podcast in the universe.
	Could I please request the full Spooky JCD Donate song for the end of show?
	Oh, jeez.
	I think if I can find it, I guess so.
	And a Jobs Health Stereo Goat Karma for everyone that might need it.
	I'll play this one just in case.
	Donate, donate, donate.
	You will be made. Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Now, regarding the Bastrop meetup, I understand they are going to have a kissing booth and you're supposed to be in it for an hour.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, kissing Tina.
	You're supposed to be in it for an hour, and then they're also going to have something new.
	I think they're adding this armadillo racing.
	Yeah.
	You're just making it up now, aren't you?
	No.
	Armadillo.
	I'm in close contact with our dame.
	Here's something that I believe would be appropriate and may be scheduled.
	And it's a very Texas thing.
	And no, it's not cornholing.
	It is chicken shit bingo.
	You remember Chicken Shit Bingo?
	Never heard of it.
	We've talked about it on the show.
	But I still never heard of it.
	You have heard of it, you just don't remember.
	I don't remember.
	It's when you have a bingo card, a big plastic bingo card, on the ground with a cage over it, and then you throw the chicken in there, and as the chicken craps on the numbers, you mark them off.
	Yeah, I would have remembered that.
	No, you didn't.
	You didn't remember because I told you about it and you would have remembered if you remembered, but you didn't.
	Well, I didn't remember because I was never told about it.
	If anyone can find a clip where Adam talks about chicken shit bingo, then I will relent.
	Otherwise, I maintain my position.
	Okay, you can look for the party we had with the professor when they were still living in Austin.
	It's easy to find.
	Meanwhile, the Christiansen family in Montgomery, also in Texas, 33334, writes in, this week my wife and I sold our house in the burbs and bought some land out in the country.
	My wife and I Our partially credit to No Agenda Show for giving us the courage to make such a move.
	The donation is a thank you to both of the best podcasts in the universe and you two, and my amazing wife, Gretchen, for keeping her shit together as she keeps the house show ready for a month while managing three kids, two dogs, and a foreign exchange student from the Ukraine.
	From Ukraine.
	Let's get that right.
	With this, she is now only $215.19 away from being a dame.
	Nice.
	Please remind the No Agenda listeners that they can buy the finest children's clothing anywhere in the world from snipsandsnails.org, which Gretchen owns and operates.
	Snips and Snails.
	Jobs karma for my friend James Buck.
	And thanks for keeping all of our amygdalas small, the Christensen family.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	Let's see, Bernard Sir from North Kingston, Kingstown, Rhode Island, 33333.
	In the morning, men, this rogue indonation removes my douchebag status.
	We should de-douche you then.
	You've been de-douched.
	But I'd like to call out Sergeant Shane as a douchebag.
	Friends don't let friends be DBs.
	Annie Reval, yay, don't eat me.
	Recently sold my house so some home-building karma would be appreciated.
	Got it lined up for you.
	R-E-S-P-I-C-T. Yay!
	Don't eat me, Bojitan.
	You're scary.
	So scary.
	You've got karma.
	Jason Baumann's up.
	333.33 from Okinawa.
	He's in Okinawa, Japan.
	Captain Jason here from the Nobukawa in Okinawa, Japan.
	Okay, he's in some prefecture.
	It's not that far from Shatancho.
	Shatancho.
	I think the first one was right.
	But I like Chat and Show myself.
	Chat and Show.
	Chat and Show.
	I was called out as a douchebag a while back by Josh, who I hit in the mouth about a year ago.
	I was hit in the mouth by a few of my co-workers.
	I'd like to call out...
	Okay, so he's getting back at people.
	Yeah.
	I'd like to call out Donovan.
	Douchebag!
	Jimmy, Jack, and Ken as douchebags.
	Jimmy has been listening for much longer than myself and has, to my knowledge, never donated.
	He's a real uber douche.
	Oh, no.
	Can I call out a knight as a douche if he hasn't donated in a few years?
	No.
	No need.
	He knows who he is.
	You can't do that.
	You can't do that.
	Please accept my 333.33 and de-douche me.
	Yes.
	Hey, de-douchey.
	You've been de-douched.
	Josh and I just got back from the Okinawa meetup and it was a great time with like-minded friends.
	Beer and pizza were enjoyed along with good conversation and laughs.
	Jingles, Reverend Al Mashup.
	Abba, abba, abba.
	I think he means...
	I don't know.
	Oh, maybe, maybe.
	But wait, that's...
	Wait a minute.
	That's the Trump...
	I don't remember what it's called.
	Okay, well, he also wants the Korean lady and the Fauci wheeze.
	Need some jobs karma for Josh.
	Thanks for everything you guys do.
	Love and lit.
	Jason Bauman.
	So he's asking for a lot here.
	Uh, but I can get some of it done, I think.
	We resist.
	We much.
	We must.
	They're all jitty about a shutdown.
	The Tortoise in the race.
	Then co-author of Hubris.
	YouTube lead singer Bono.
	Fran Drasher.
	Siganoi Weaver.
	Suspect Jahar Sanayev.
	Rush Limbaugh.
	Rush Limbaugh, Rush Limbaugh, the show Rush Lombard.
	Rush Lombard.
	Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor is Mike Bakar al-Baghdadi.
	Abu, Abu, Bakar, Bakar.
	Abu, Abu, Bakar, Bakar.
	Abu, Abu, Bakar.
	The United States has been searching for Baghdadi.
	Not fast enough.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	Needed work.
	Sorry about that.
	Did my best.
	It was pretty good.
	Then we have Sir Brian of London.
	Hey, hey, hey.
	33333.
	He says, I had the jingle, I have hive power.
	That's an Inside Podcasting 2.0 joke.
	Shapeshifting Jew, which he is allowed to ask for the shapeshifting Jews being the massive shapeshifting Jew that he is.
	And he is from Israel.
	It says Great Britain on his PayPal, but we know what's up with that.
	Here he is, shapeshifting Jew Shalom from the Holy Land.
	Sir Brian of London, master of pod ping, sender of value for value, hive asking for court case karma for a crypto class action versus Facebook and Google Go podcasting.
	Do you remember this whole thing?
	Go podcasting!
	He is suing Facebook.
	They've been doing this for years.
	I think we talked about his case once on the show.
	Yeah, it was about some, they won't allow certain kinds of posts or something.
	No, what they did is they kicked all cryptocurrency advertising off of Facebook and then turned around and released their own cryptocurrency.
	Right, right.
	Which, in Australia, where the lawsuit is happening, is a big no-no, yeah.
	And you cannot refuse Australians to advertise anywhere as a public service.
	So, it's a multi-year lawsuit, and we'll know when he's won, when he becomes the Insta-Duke.
	The Insta-Grand Duke.
	We'll know that he's won.
	So, yes, I can give you that.
	That's all I can do.
	It's good.
	I have eye color!
	Resist!
	That's not what I want.
	You want the shape-shifting Jews.
	Alright, try that one again.
	I have my power!
	Roll up, roll up for the magical shapeshifting juice!
	Step right this way!
	Roll up!
	Roll up for the shapeshifting juice!
	Roll up!
	You've got karma! - Come on.
	There's your court case, Karma Brian.
	And there you go with Ken Gross, or better known as Sir Ken of Pensil-Tucky in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, 333.33.
	And he has a note he sent in with some paperwork on the back.
	With the transfer of this coin to the realm and with the permission of the peerage committee, I, Sir Ken of Pennsylvania, do claim the title of Baron.
	Furthermore, I wish to register the Protectorate of South Felton.
	Respectfully, Ken Gross, a.k.a.
	Sir Ken of Pennsylvania, Baron of South Felton.
	All right.
	We got it.
	We'll see you on the podium for that later on.
	Title change is that, I guess.
	Title change.
	In effect.
	Then we have Seth Dukas from Amelia, Ohio, 333.
	The morning this donation is for my smoking hot husband Brian's birthday, turning 36 on the 13th.
	Please de-douche him.
	Oh, with pleasure.
	You've been de-douched.
	Also, shout out to his brother, Seth, who made this donation possible.
	Jingle, somebody's getting cornholed.
	Biden whole load.
	Scream and stay woke.
	Scream, I'm going to guess you mean the goat scream.
	And we've got everything for you.
	Someone's getting cornholed today.
	Sounds like a recipe for success to me.
	I'm going to give you the whole load today.
	My millennials, stay woke!
	You've got karma.
	That woman.
	Brandon, uh, Brandon.
	Hey.
	Let's go, Brandon.
	Kiefer, as in Kiefer, K-E-A-F-E-R, and Gerard, Illinois, 333, sent a note in, which I managed to find.
	And he writes, he writes, good morning, I made my first donation yesterday and also signed up at noagenda.net slash register, noagendashow.net slash register.
	I sent in a note.
	However, I kept getting the bad credentials error when I tried to log in.
	I tried creating an account again, and it shows that my username is already used.
	I assume that means my request came through.
	I have checked my email and spam folder to see if there is a verification email, but I found none.
	Am I missing a step?
	Thank you.
	I don't even know what he's talking about.
	Not the normal, I guess, or some way, according to him, to go to noagendashow.net slash register.
	Oh, oh, geez.
	I think that's, if you want to, I don't know, it's very interesting.
	How do you come up with that?
	I don't think it's...
	I don't know, it's apparently a link.
	Hmm.
	I have no idea.
	I'm looking at it now, dot slash register?
	That's interesting.
	Did you try it?
	I'm looking at it now, yeah.
	Please note...
	Here, listen to this.
	Please note that a no-agenda website account is only used for identifying your contributions to this website.
	It does not grant access to other no-agenda-related websites.
	What is this about?
	What is that point of it?
	I have no idea.
	I've never seen this before.
	Well, that's interesting.
	Okay.
	Well, that should probably be discarded.
	Yeah, well, it has a big sign in there, so I guess.
	Interesting.
	Okay.
	Well, I'm sorry.
	Maybe that's something that's being worked on.
	I'm not aware of it, but you got through, and I'm happy about that, and we got your note.
	Was there anything else?
	No, he didn't get through.
	He still didn't get through.
	He got his note through.
	He got it through the old-fashioned way.
	Oh, he got this.
	So I'm happy he got it through.
	Well, that's his note.
	Yeah, but it should have been a note about his donation, but okay.
	That's fine.
	Onward.
	Oh, that's all?
	He had no other request?
	That was it?
	I read the whole note, yeah.
	Okay.
	It was just a bitch note.
	Greg Oleksiak.
	That's the only way I can pronounce it.
	333.
	Thanks, John and Anna, for the work you do and a shout out to my smoking hot girlfriend, Dame Jennifer, without whom I would be utterly alone.
	Wait a minute.
	Which Dame Jennifer are we talking here?
	Well, how many Dame Jennifers do we have?
	Well, we have a couple of Dame Jennifers, but if this is the Dame Jennifer, Dame Jennifer I'm thinking of, then this is...
	It could be the Dame Jennifer, Dame Jennifer.
	It could be Dame Jennifer, Dame Jennifer, Dame Jennifer.
	Is this the new BF? It could be, but unfortunately we don't have a...
	We have no idea.
	Anyway, we like him no matter what.
	I don't think it's the new...
	No, it is because I see it here.
	They're coming to the Austin meetup and I know she's coming and she's coming with him.
	Yes, we've deconstructed it.
	I said, now they're too far away.
	They're not going to come in from South Carolina to Austin.
	Only maniacs would do that.
	They are.
	They're maniacs.
	They're crazy.
	In the spirit of value for value, he continues, here's a quote that helped me.
	Quote, only the self-reliant are burdened with the need to accurately perceive the world.
	Everyone else just looks at each other.
	Yeah.
	Looking forward to the Austin meetup.
	No jingles, no karma, I'm assuming.
	All right.
	He says, please knight me, Sir Greg, of the surprise headlocks.
	And I would like hex tokens and vape juice for the roundtable.
	I shall share some of my personal vape juice with you.
	Good sir.
	Definitely.
	Stuart the Strange from Grapevine, Texas.
	And he sent in a note here.
	Dear Adam and John C. J-A-H-N-S-I. That means he's using a podcasting 2.0 app because that's how the transcript...
	I've been changing it manually, but the AI just can't get John space C together.
	He says.
	What is it again?
	How's it go?
	It goes J-A-H-N-S-I. Dvorak, the A-I, gets okay.
	But John C. always comes through as John C. Kind of like Let's Go.
	John C. Dvorak and Let's Go Brandon.
	I have a simple formula.
	Please add wrong, R-O-N-G. You're going to get Dvorak right and not John C., which is not an uncommon two names.
	It's your dictionary.
	My diction is fine.
	I have a simple formula, he says.
	Please add wrong, R-O-N-G, the chief accounting officer, to the birthday list for August 21st, 2020, and please call me out as a douchebag?
	Douchebag!
	Also add...
	Wrong.
	Of the rusty puppers to the birthday list for August 21st, 2021.
	What?
	Call me out as a douchebag.
	I'm just reading this, people.
	I have no idea what's going on.
	Please accept the enclosed producer contribution of $3.3288.
	Now, this represents a total of only 6.7 cents on the hour.
	For the over 4,800 hours of fantastic programming which I have received.
	Please call me out as a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	And I shall not be de-douched until I break the $1 on the hour level.
	No jingles, no karma, as I've used my jingle allotment in the above.
	Adios, mofos!
	Stuart the Strange, now on the lands of Grapevines, Texas.
	Huh.
	That means he's out in your neck of the woods.
	I don't know where Grapevine is.
	No, Grapevine is not where the grape growing is.
	That's your area.
	He's literally in Grapevine, Texas.
	Oh, he's literally in Grapevine, Texas.
	Grapevine, yes.
	Where's Grapevine?
	Oh, who's on first?
	I'll tell you what.
	Why don't you read the next note and I'll find Grapevine, Texas.
	Shauna Benson's the next note.
	She's in Smithville, Texas.
	I don't know if she's going to the meet-up or not, but if she is, she's going to look for the kissing booth with Adam.
	He'll be there for one hour.
	Only one hour, by the way, ladies, so you're going to have to line up.
	One hour, one hour.
	Grapevine is Dallas, basically.
	And where is this donor from?
	Where is she from?
	Smithville.
	$300.
	Did she send a picture?
	I don't know.
	I don't see one here.
	This donation is for temporary non-douchebag status for my husband, PK. We plan to attend, uh-huh, the Bastrop Meetup, and I didn't want to, I don't want to be with a douchebag, so she donated for him.
	Oh.
	I think we have to de-douche him.
	Of course.
	Here we go.
	You've been de-douched.
	After the event, he'll still be a douche again, and until he donates himself, you also forgot to dame me on episode 1383.
	What?
	What?
	And now it's accounting included, and if I could be a black dame, Loka of the Lost Pines.
	Of course.
	That would be awesome.
	Truly the best podcast in the universe, she writes.
	Smithville just down the road from Bastrop, a little further east.
	Oh, she'd come up there.
	Don't forget, it's going to be one hour only.
	Adam in the kissing booth.
	And by the way, it's a $5 donation.
	I think we can change that right now to make a $10 donation.
	Inflation?
	To the show.
	$10, big smooch.
	Hey, John.
	Smooch booth.
	You will whore me out for anything.
	Ten bucks?
	Hell yeah.
	We thank John Taylor for his associate executive producer ship of 250-250.
	New Jobs Karma works, he says.
	And Carl is a douchebag.
	Douchebag.
	That's why we keep him one.
	Sir Kit Board, also 250-250.
	That's interesting.
	And that's circuit board, but circuit board.
	No jingles, no karma.
	Keep up the great work.
	Thank you very much.
	Appreciate that.
	Then we go to Betty Solero from Seattle, Washington.
	And she sent in a note, which I have down here somewhere.
	Yes, actually a pretty card.
	And says, Dear John, nice cursive handwriting.
	Thank you for joining, Adam, in creating the best podcast in the universe.
	Yes, that's exactly the way you should see it.
	John joined me for creating the best podcast.
	And for having a community.
	And for having a community I'm proud to be a part of.
	Nobody'd like to believe.
	Sure.
	On no agenda social.
	She does have nice handwriting.
	She does.
	It's old school.
	It's beautiful.
	I like that.
	Humbly requesting house-selling karma.
	Sincerely, Betty, a.k.a.
	Can't read that.
	A.K.A. Baby Steed.
	Baby Steed?
	The Baby or Bosby Steed.
	And says, P.S. I came to know Agenda via JRE, the very first appearance.
	How about that?
	I got some house-selling karma for you.
	Let me roll out the goat.
	Don't mess around.
	You've got...
	That is a.k.a.
	Karma.
	I don't know.
	You know, we're talking about a great handwriting.
	We can't read the handwriting.
	Bosby Stead.
	Bosby Steed.
	Ugh.
	Can't read that.
	Scott Tillema.
	Parts Unknown 23335, happy birthday to my smoking hot babe, Elizabeth.
	She deserves all the best karma for putting up with me and my boys as well as helping keep each other sane.
	We enjoy Sunday brunch and no agenda together, so it's special to share this on her birthday.
	Aww.
	Aww.
	The many pieces of advice for the Megyn Kelly show, one of them was...
	Just end up by saying, Tina the Keeper is much hotter than you.
	Yeah, that'll work.
	Rich Malloy is next on the list.
	22222.
	He wrote a note in.
	You can tell because it's an actual physical note.
	And he's in Greenwich, Connecticut.
	Dear Sir or Madam.
	Don't tell me it's a Microsoft Word form letter.
	Please accept this application or position of Associate Executive Producer of the Best Podcast in the Universe, trademark.
	I like it.
	As you can see from my four-page resume, unavailable upon request, I have necessary experience including over 10 years of podcast listening and douchebaggery.
	No.
	As a new AEP, my first and most important goal would be to request an F cancer call out to help my brother Dave.
	Then, if you can, please grant me one of your patented birthday wishes.
	I think a biscuit for your birthday would be good.
	As I hit my 3 score and 10 on October 2nd, is he on the birthday list?
	I don't think so.
	I have a feeling he's not.
	So Rich Malloy and 3 score and 10 is what?
	I think that's 60, 70, isn't it?
	You're asking me.
	I really don't know this one.
	No, the...
	Troll room should know what a score is.
	I think it's 20 years.
	And what day is he celebrating this on?
	October 2nd.
	So it's belated.
	Whatever your decision in my application, please accept my heartfelt gratitude for all the excellent enlightenment and entertainment you have bravely and generously provided these many years.
	Sincerely, Rich Malloy has got an enclosure.
	I would have sent this to Dvorak.
	Okay, no, he's good to go.
	They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
	Did he need some karma to go with that?
	He needs some F cancer karma.
	Oh, that's right.
	Well, his buddy there.
	His brother.
	His brother.
	Yeah.
	You've got karma.
	There it is, ma'am.
	Is that on the birthday list?
	Yes, he's on the birthday list.
	Sir Ben, the apex baronet of the apex baronet of Orland.
	Orland Township.
	He says, first donation a year?
	So long overdue.
	My 41st birthday is 1010, so please put me on the birthday list.
	Jingles.
	North Korean newsreader lady?
	Yes.
	Where is my North Korean...
	You know, she's failing for some reason.
	I had the...
	I played the...
	That's so weird.
	Like, I get a...
	Some kind of format error.
	Okay.
	North Korean news lady.
	It's very interesting that you would ask for that again.
	And an R2-D2 karma.
	That's one of our first...
	That's one of the oldest things we still have in the archive.
	You've got karma.
	There was a time when that was being asked for every single segment.
	And just kind of fell away by the wayside.
	I'm going to go through the archives of our jingles and do a special report on the ones that haven't been used for a while.
	Okay, good.
	Because I think there's a few of them that could use a little bit of...
	They could be used again.
	Totally, totally.
	All right, we got...
	Did you find an email from Rebecca Brom?
	Rebecca Brom, I could not find anything under the name Rebecca, nothing under the name Brom, and nothing with the subject line donation.
	And even since I had a little extra time, I looked on the subject line note.
	So I found none of those things.
	So she's not...
	Maybe she's sending.
	It'll be coming in a month or two.
	But Rebecca Braun is good for $201.33.
	Thank you.
	Thank you very much.
	Now, this next note is interesting because it says it's from Anonymous in Ostberg, Wisconsin, another Dutch name in Wisconsin.
	By the way, I got a message for you about Wisconsin.
	Hold on a second.
	I got a message for you from producer Robert in Wisconsin.
	And he sent in like a whole long thing, but his voice is actually kind of good, so I figured I'd play the message for you.
	John's probably getting the letters anyway for implying that Wisconsin is a racist place.
	Did you say Wisconsin is racist?
	I think you did, didn't you?
	No, I never said Wisconsin was racist.
	What I said was, they sent the black girl up there to do the report, knowing that it got all white and maybe she'll get harassed.
	Yeah, that's very different than saying they're racist.
	Yeah.
	Well, anyway, here's Wisconsin's interpretation.
	God bless John, but he's mistaken.
	It just falls under my theory of broadcasting, and that is if you talk long enough, eventually you will say something profoundly stupid.
	Ha ha ha!
	But then his reasoning is he has proof that Wisconsin's not racist.
	Here it comes.
	And yeah, there's more interracial couples in Wisconsin than I've seen anywhere.
	That doesn't mean it's not racist.
	That's kind of a racist thing to say.
	Exactly!
	Proof!
	He's a racist!
	I have a friend who's black.
	Oh, I encourage those kinds of emails.
	Now, what is this next one?
	This is anonymous.
	It says page 7.
	It says anonymous, but I'm not getting that it was from Oostberg.
	Oh, it's from Baron of the Great Lakes Watershed.
	Would that be right for Wisconsin?
	Yeah, this would be it.
	Yeah, I think so.
	All it says is predator drone is the note.
	Oh, well we have that.
	I have two words for you.
	Predator drones.
	You will never see it coming.
	Yeah, this is...
	You think I'm joking?
	This is from a source familiar with the matter, Baron of the Great Lakes Watershed, which I guess is semi-anonymous.
	Yeah.
	Well, there you go.
	We have that.
	We got the stuff on command for you.
	As we move to Kenneth Corson from North Haven Island in Maine.
	And a card.
	To the host of the greatest podcast in the universe, enclosed two checks totaling $200.33.
	Two bars of handmade soap for my smoking hot wife, made with lard from our pigs.
	Hello!
	Did you receive such a...
	Yes, I have two soaps, two bar soaps.
	One of them is kind of a neutral smell, but the other one really smells good.
	And which one are you sending me?
	I'm sending you the crummy one.
	Okay.
	Also, two bottles of maple syrup from the 2021 season.
	Not sure of the run, but always made over fire with friends, whiskey, and lots of laughs.
	Is there a bottle of maple syrup in there for me?
	There are two cans of maple syrup, and yes, I will forward it to you.
	Okay, so I guess I read it in the wrong order because now it's...
	Is this the same note, I guess?
	Ah, interesting.
	This note and donation is long overdue, so let's start out with a de-douching.
	You've been de-douched.
	My human resource Odin has been harassing me since our road trip in March about donating.
	I know my time was up when Adam revealed his anniversary, May 19th.
	is the same as mine.
	And when John brought up James Corbett in a somewhat recent show, James does great work and I was very happy to hear his name dropped on the show.
	Please call out the following as douchebags.
	Chris Hutchinson.
	Douchebag!
	James Coulson.
	Douchebag!
	And Kevin Lott.
	Douchebag!
	All three help keep me sane and open- Isn't that Kevin Cox?
	Kevin Cox?
	Kevin Cox!
	Interpret how you want.
	All three help keep me sane and open-minded, and all three need to donate.
	Enclose two checks, as said, which combined should get me to associate executive producer.
	I've also enclosed a few goods we just talked about from the Hobby Farm.
	It's a four-acre farm, North Haven Island, Maine.
	Could I get the following jingles?
	Biden, hold load.
	Obama, you might die.
	Fauci, stay safe.
	Fauci, wheeze is popular today.
	Yeah, might die.
	And we've got the whole load here.
	So yes, we have that for you.
	I'm going to give you the whole load today.
	You might die.
	There you go.
	And remember to stay safe.
	Kenny Corson of North Haven Island, Maine.
	Thank you very much.
	And I look forward to not trying your soap and not trying the...
	You will get the soap.
	You won't get the good smelling one because I won't even get that one.
	Jay already absconded with it.
	So, you know, that's the way it goes.
	The other one smells nice too.
	Wow.
	Okay.
	So, it was very good smelling.
	Yeah.
	You'll get these.
	I'll put together something for you.
	Okay.
	That was our last executive producer.
	Prepaid bucks.
	That was the last one, I think, right?
	Yes, it was.
	We want to thank everybody who helped us do this show by being an executive or associate executive producer for show 1389.
	We're getting there.
	We're getting very close to 1400.
	The 26th of this month is our 14th anniversary, and it's not ours.
	It's all of ours, all of Gitmo Nation.
	You've been producing it.
	You've been producing it since under 10 episodes.
	I think we caught on to the Value for Value system pretty early, which I also talked about extensively at the Italian Podcast Festival.
	And I think they got it.
	I think they're into it.
	I think more people are seeing that it's probably an easier way to go to make something actually work with a group of people and not have to rely on having hundreds of thousands of listeners that can then be advertised at CPM rates.
	You don't want that.
	Yeah, pillows.
	You truly don't want that.
	If you'd like to support this fantastic project, 14 years almost in running, then go to...
	And we thank our producers for their time, talent, and treasure for 1389.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Water. Order.
	Shut up, slave.
	Shut up, slave!
	And there you have it.
	Yes, indeed.
	I did pick up a bunch of clips from...
	This is...
	This one was...
	This just really had taken me aback.
	And it brings me to this rescue organization, and it brings up a bunch of rescue...
	Hold on, what do you mean rescue organization?
	Rescue.
	Well, let's play IRC. Rescue what?
	You know how we've talked about Afghanis, mainly.
	Oh, resettlement.
	Not rescue.
	Resettlement.
	Oh, no, no.
	This is rescue.
	Oh!
	This is the International Rescue Committee.
	Oh, really, no.
	You sure it's not resettlement?
	Because they're all called resettlement agencies, and now it's rescue.
	No, this was rescue.
	This is rescue.
	Wow, okay.
	I'm telling you.
	And then the other thing is I'm going to pull an atom, and I'm going to read from their board of directors and their trustees, and you're going to go...
	Oh my god!
	These people are shameless.
	Okay.
	Try IRC Miliband 1 and just listen to who this is.
	It's been a little over a month since the American military withdrew from Afghanistan.
	And over time, the disturbing scenes of Afghans pouring into the airport or gathering outside in an effort to flee have faded from view.
	But we wanted to know what has happened since and how the global effort to resettle Afghan refugees is going.
	So we've called David Miliband.
	He is the president and CEO of the International Rescue Committee, one of the leading groups working to help.
	David Miliband, thank you so much for joining us once again.
	Thank you so much for your interest in this really important story.
	Now, Miliband was...
	Was he...
	He's the brother of the...
	I think it's Edward Miliband.
	The other Miliband who was the head of labor in the UK for, I don't know, 10 years, 5 years.
	Wait a minute.
	This is David Miliband who we're hearing?
	Yeah.
	And he was also in Parliament.
	Yeah, I thought David Miliband was...
	He was also a Labour politician.
	Yes, yes.
	These are guys who...
	This is the ticket, man.
	You get in once, you serve your time, and then you can write, you can do whatever you want, make millions.
	Wait until I go over the...
	I pull an atom and go over the list.
	And then I have a question for you, too, at the end.
	All right.
	Don't start cheating.
	I'm not cheating.
	Geez.
	Now, this part two, well, I might.
	No, we know you.
	Part two, this one ends with a question for you.
	So first, as we said, your group, the IRC, is one of a number helping Afghan refugees.
	Do you have a sense of how many Afghans are looking to be resettled around the world right now?
	Yes, we do.
	The International Rescue Committee has about 1,700 staff in Afghanistan.
	And we're also the largest refugee resettlement agency here in the US with 25 offices across the country and a partnership with the US government at the government facilities where Afghans are arriving.
	And so we're registering all of those Afghans who are arriving in the United States.
	Wow!
	Get this a-hole out of our country.
	How many Afghanistanis have they brought into the United States and registered and they've got them?
	Just them?
	Yeah, just them.
	In what time period?
	Since we pulled out of Afghanistan?
	Yeah, since we pulled out.
	20,000.
	Play clip three.
	Oh, sorry.
	I should have been ready for that.
	So I say 20,000?
	Yeah, 20,000.
	What we know is that over 50,000 of those who made it to Kabul airport have now made it to the U.S., and they are being processed to make sure that their documentation is right, that they figure out any U.S. ties they have, because some of them have...
	Relatives here, that they get their health care sorted out, and then they're able to move into the community so that they can begin the passage to work and to American life.
	I want to talk about two distinct groups of people, the people who are already...
	Now, so he didn't really say that they have done it, but they certainly are doing a lot of it.
	They have done it.
	And there's more.
	That's not even the real number.
	There's another...
	The people who are already in the United States and the people who are still overseas.
	A number of countries assisted with the evacuation of civilians after the Taliban took control of Kabul in mid-August.
	But we do understand that many people were flown to third countries to wait for their applications for special visas to be processed.
	About 15,000 people, is that about right?
	There's about 15,000 people who are in the care of the U.S. government in third countries.
	They're often in U.S. military bases around the world and they're on their way here.
	There's another group who are not in the care of the U.S. government but found their way out through charities.
	I'd number them more in the hundreds than in the thousands.
	But in countries like Mexico or Uganda or countries as far flung as Mexico and Uganda, there are Afghans there who need our help.
	This is interesting, also enraging at the same time.
	My neighbors are trying to pull American citizens out of Afghanistan with gliders and gaffer tape.
	And this a-hole is just bringing in Afghanis, Afghans, I should say, just, you know, for money...
	Huge, huge!
	You think they're doing it for money?
	Oh, billions.
	This outfit, I'm sure, gets billions of dollars from the United States government, USAID, or the resettlement agency.
	Oh, it's got to be billions.
	I can tell you right now, they don't get billions.
	Their budget for last year, it wasn't anything close to billions.
	It was $825 million.
	That's not even close to a billion, huh?
	$825 billion, and it's up from the year before, which was another $790 million.
	And let's play the last clip, or this is not the last, but the second of the last clip.
	So it's almost a billion.
	It's just short of a billion.
	And what are their circumstances?
	Talk about that if you would.
	Like, what is the process for assisting these folks?
	Well, the Afghans who have made it to the United States, on the one hand, they are, and they know it, they're the lucky ones.
	They have safety.
	They have a clear path, albeit sometimes a bureaucratic one, to register here, to be able to make a new life, to get on the path to a green card and to citizenship.
	Thanks to some work in Congress last week, there is now funding for them to arrive, and there are guarantees about their health care and their health insurance and their employment status.
	So they know that they are on the right side of history in that sense.
	They also know, and this is the tragic...
	Because I was last week meeting Afghans at one of the government facilities where we're working in Virginia.
	And for every Afghan who's here, they've got, in many, many cases, 6, 10, 15 relatives who are still in Afghanistan.
	Sometimes they're very close relatives, mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters.
	And so the Afghans who are here are pulled in two directions.
	On the one hand, relief.
	On the other hand, fear for the relatives who are still in the country.
	And so there's a real sense of trauma, I think, among the Afghans who've made it, albeit with a high and heavy sense of gratitude to the U.S. for taking them in.
	In your opinion, what are some of the obstacles to getting people resettled?
	The biggest obstacles are, first of all, the cost of housing.
	Secondly, we know it's a tight labor market, so there's a chance to get jobs.
	No, it's not.
	We need to do a better job of matching the Afghans who are arriving, some of whom have high skills, translators, for example, others of whom have less skills.
	We need to match them properly into employment.
	And also, there's a softer side to this, which is that these people have been through trauma.
	And it's one thing for a six-year-old or an eight-year-old or a ten-year-old who's seen gunfire, who's seen bombing, who's seen the kind of scenes that you saw at Kabul Airport.
	It's one thing to find that child a school.
	It's another thing to help them find the kind of mind space and calm to be able to learn, especially given it's a new language and it's a whole new world for them.
	So like they said, I expect to come over here and get a house.
	Wait, wait, wait, wait.
	It's a whole new language?
	I thought these were supposed to be interpreters.
	It's a whole new language?
	They're just the lucky ones who managed to get out.
	Yeah.
	And of course, anyone who has some political any sway with this jamoke, because that's what it is.
	This is just buddies, friends, and getting paid for it too is great.
	What an incredible scam.
	Defund the IRC. Good luck.
	Defund it.
	And Miliband, what a creep.
	So here we go.
	Who's some of these people on here on the board of directors?
	Yes.
	Tim Geithner.
	Oh, my goodness.
	Tim Geithner.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	Where do we know him from?
	He was the Treasury Secretary.
	Oh, that's right.
	Little Timmy.
	Yes, yes, yes.
	Little Timmy Geithner.
	Liv Ullman.
	Liv Ullman.
	Zayed Al Hussein is the former UN Human Rights Chief.
	They got it.
	This goes on.
	The list is hundreds.
	I'm only reading the ones whose names really stand out.
	Okay, I'll do a Dvorak.
	The Drinking Club.
	It looks like a drinking club to me.
	It is a drinking club.
	Janet Napolitano.
	Lucy.
	Sally Sussman.
	Who's she?
	Executive Vice President of Corporate Affairs Pfizer.
	Oh, no, no.
	Sussman?
	That's interesting.
	Wasn't the lawyer Sussman, who got indicted, also named Sussman?
	I think he's on here, too.
	So it could be his sister or his wife.
	That's interesting.
	Morten Abramowitz?
	Madeline Albright?
	No, she's on everything.
	F. William Barnett, who's the former director of McKinsey.
	A lot of McKinsey people on here, by the way.
	And here's an interesting one.
	Vera Blinken.
	Oh, related to Tony, no doubt.
	Yes.
	It's a stepmother.
	And she's married to Donald Blinken, who's still alive for some unknown reason.
	He's 95 years old, and he's Tony's dad.
	And the two of them, Donald and Vera Blinken, have been renamed the Vera Blinken and Donald Blinken Archives.
	Well, that says it right there, doesn't it?
	In fact, to such an extent that I'm looking into this, Anthony Blinken was grilled by Congress during the time that they were giving him the go-ahead to be Secretary of State.
	And by the way, his background, it blows.
	Oh, Tony Blinken?
	He has no business being Secretary of State.
	He's a nudnik.
	So he got grilled by one of the senators about his connections to Soros, which is what the Open Society is, and Open Society Foundation.
	And he said, I don't know, I never heard of the guy.
	So anyway, onward with a few more names.
	Michael Blumenthal, Mary Boyes, who I believe is...
	Oh, from the lawyer, from the law firm?
	The lawyer, yep.
	Andrew Brimmer, Jennifer Brokaw, and Tom Brokaw.
	Wow, this is a great club to be in.
	Yeah, it's unbelievable.
	It goes on.
	I can think of a couple more down the list here.
	Philip Hammerskold, who I believe is the son of the old UN guy.
	Yeah, the Hammerskold Plaza.
	Yeah, and Carolyn Kennedy, of course.
	She's a woke, woke and available.
	Yes, the woke and available.
	And while she's woke, you got Henry Kissinger.
	Woke and still available.
	But you gotta hurry.
	I don't know.
	The guy's gonna live forever.
	He's gonna keel over.
	Here's another good one.
	Where's the media in all this?
	Oh, why would the media have anything to do with checking this out?
	Scott Pelley is one on the advisory board.
	Really?
	Yeah, the former managing editor and anchor of CBS Evening News.
	He's still on 60 Minutes.
	Yeah, he can't be doing 60 Minutes bits if he has conflicts of interest.
	Hey, tell it to the judge.
	General Colin Powell?
	Well, again...
	Condoleezza Rice?
	Condoleezza Rice?
	It's a package deal.
	You get her and Powell in the same deal.
	Arthur Sulzberger Jr.?
	Ah, the newspaper people.
	The New York Times.
	Are you sure this isn't the Bilderberg Group?
	I'm telling you, this is disgusting.
	This is fantastic.
	Well, may I weigh in with a little list of my own?
	You may.
	This is from an excellent article, expose, I would say, from the Swiss Policy Research Center.
	Who I think are pretty decent, and they did a whole piece called the World Economic Forum and the Pandemic, and they show all of the connections between the World Economic Forum, obviously Event 201, how all these things correlate,
	and according to the Swiss research article, It's all about the digital identity, which of course is why we have the Thales, you know, digital wallet ID and all these things.
	But the research points specifically to the World Economic Forum Young Global Leaders.
	And this is one of these programs where they identify, I guess like a Rhodes Scholar might be fair to say, they identify someone, hey, hey, hey, hey, we could use this one.
	This one's smart.
	Here's a whippersnapper.
	Let's get to them as quick as possible while they're still young and tell them that they can be global leaders.
	Tulsi Gabbard is one of them, actually.
	What?
	But listen to the list.
	United States.
	So this is the young global leaders at one point.
	Many of these go back to the late 90s, but a lot of them are in the 2000s.
	From politics and policy, Jeffrey Zients, who is now, I think he's actually running a lot of the coronavirus stuff.
	Gavin Newsom.
	Pete Buttigieg.
	Chelsea Clinton.
	Huma Abedin, Nikki Haley, Samantha Power, Ian Bremmer, Bill Browder, Magnitsky Act, anybody?
	Jonathan Soros, yes, the son of George, Kenneth Roth, Paul Krugman, who was the guy recommending the trillion dollar coin, Larry Summers, former Treasury Secretary.
	Alicia Garza, of course, co-founder of Black Lives Matter.
	And Stéphane Bancel, the CEO of Moderna.
	It's crazy how these people wind up in these groups.
	From the media, CNN medical analyst Lena Nguyen.
	She was selected in 2018.
	CNN chief medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta, also known as Jose to friends.
	Andrew Ross Sorkin.
	Douchebag extraordinaire, CNBC. Thomas Friedman.
	Formerly New York Times.
	Yes, your buddy, Thomas Friedman.
	George Stephanopoulos.
	And, of course, Lachlan Murdoch, current CEO of Fox Corporation.
	Oh, yeah.
	Now, I'll tell you this.
	There's more.
	That's a nicer mixture of the two parties.
	Co-joined over this bull crap than the one I, the list I played was almost exclusively Democrats with the exception of Kissinger who's been neutral.
	That's just a gang of assholes.
	This is people who have money and power as motive.
	So we have Bill Gates, of course, Steve Ballmer, Jeff Bezos, Google co-founders Sergey and Larry, Eric Schmidt.
	These were all young global leaders.
	And Eric Schmidt was a young leader in 2001.
	He was actually selected in 1997.
	Huh.
	Go figure.
	That was early in the game.
	Jimmy Wales of Wikipedia.
	Peter Thiel, PayPal co-founder.
	Pierre Omidyar, Drive My Car, eBay founder, co-founder.
	And of course, Intercept co-founder with Glenn Greenwald and then who had to leave because it was so crazy.
	Mark Zuckerberg, young global leader, 2009.
	Of course, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, also a young global leader.
	Are we getting the picture?
	Are we getting the picture here?
	Take a quick look at the Great Britain, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Lynn Forrester, the Rothschild, she co-owns The Economist, Nathaniel Rothschild, Neil Ferguson, William Haig, Charles Allen, who was EMI chairman.
	In New Zealand, not surprising.
	You've seen that?
	You've seen this testing for the...
	Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland.
	Trudeau.
	Surprise, surprise.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Trudeau.
	Oh, this is interesting.
	Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trouveau is a World Economic Forum participant, but not a confirmed young global leader.
	That is interesting.
	Maybe...
	Maybe that's why he's going all in, you know, to show that they were wrong.
	They should have chosen him.
	You know, that's funny you say that because my first impression was, well, at least he got that right.
	But then your interpretation, which is the opposite, is probably right.
	What was I thinking?
	He was too wishy-washy even for the young global leaders.
	And I'll wind it up with the European Union, of course, EU Commission President, José Manuel Barroso, Jean-Claude Juncker.
	Oh, man.
	Juncker, he was fun.
	Oh, yeah.
	Young guy.
	Young guy.
	Young global leader, Juncker.
	Well, he was selected in 1995.
	He wasn't young in 1995.
	I don't know how old he was in 1995.
	It's been a while.
	Macron, Nicolas Sarkozy, Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz, who you would expect would be not in a globalist group, but there he is.
	Former Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, Spanish Prime Minister, former Spanish Prime Minister Asnar, Guy Verhofstadt, Belgian Prime Minister.
	And, of course, chair of the Brexit Steering Group.
	I mean, this is how it works.
	These are the groups, the group you mentioned, but this one as well.
	They've been planning this takeover, this whatever they wanted to do, or this change, or Great Reset, or whatever they were pushing for.
	I think that this is, they're all jacked and jitty.
	Jacked and jitty.
	They love it so much.
	And it's working out perfectly.
	How about the jobs report?
	There was supposed to be half a million jobs.
	What did he get, 180?
	I thought it was 250.
	250?
	But they expected much more, right?
	Oh yeah, they were always wrong.
	But these globalists, which really do not want us to have a country, we have to realize that they do not want the United States of America to exist.
	Yeah, I would agree.
	Every name on that list that you mentioned, especially the Americans, I would really question their acceptance of the United States as a country.
	I think they're anti-American.
	Obviously anti-American.
	They want a global country.
	They want a one-world government.
	I mean, I'm sure a few of them have been convinced that it would be run by the Americans.
	But no, this is no borders, no countries, no people, no nations.
	I'm not even sure they think America should be running it.
	I don't think the globalists really want that anymore.
	I think we've been passed over.
	They want the Chinese.
	Yeah, Chiners.
	Where's the Chiners in this whole list?
	Is there a list of them in there?
	No.
	Of course not.
	No Chiners.
	They're not going to sell out their own.
	These people are selling out the United States.
	It's not something that we normally talk about, but it's obvious by what they belong to, these organizations they belong to.
	Yeah, and they all want the same thing.
	And Miliband's not on either one of those.
	He's not on that list in there, is he?
	He's too busy making money.
	Him and Tony Blair cashing in bigly.
	Oh, I got a better theory about the new crackdown.
	If this Build Back Better plan passes...
	I mean, we are really screwed.
	These people are crazy.
	The stuff they've got packed into this, or at least what we're being told is going to be in it.
	So the $600 limit, any bank account that has $600 in it will be eligible for flows in and out to be tracked by the government.
	That's part of their actual plan.
	If it passes, I don't know.
	And I've been trying to figure out the $600 number.
	On the last show, I said this is...
	Possibly the UBI, the stimulus check, $600.
	It's actually much simpler.
	A lot of notes on this.
	Yeah.
	Well, here's the note I got.
	40-hour work week, $15 an hour.
	That's your $600.
	That's your $600 right there.
	So, keep telling yourself they're looking for billionaires cheating.
	$15 an hour job.
	It's going to be so cool once they get the credit rating system towards the government, which they've already said they want to do, and they will make everyone so compliant.
	Yeah, well, they're already showing compliance.
	They're fealty.
	Fealty.
	Yes.
	I got the latest fealty proof for you.
	Now, it's just ASMR stuff.
	It's only an audio sound.
	But the fealty is being tested, not just with the vaccines, but I think TikTok, the TikTok trends, and this is, make no mistake, at least the infrastructure, the algo of TikTok is Chinese.
	And the voice stuff, that's Chinese infrastructure.
	So these TikTok trends, I don't know if you've been following that, but kids are destroying bathrooms.
	This was the lick test, which turned into destroy the bathroom.
	And this is just fealty testing.
	So the latest is scalp popping.
	Heard of this?
	Nope.
	I didn't even know it was possible.
	I didn't know it was a thing.
	It doesn't seem very healthy.
	I have some sound as an example.
	Scalp popping is the latest trend where you grab a tuft of hair by the scalp and you pull really hard So that then the skin pops from your scalp, from the bone.
	Here is a barber demonstrating with the scalp popping.
	Listen.
	That's it.
	Clack, clack.
	Here comes another one.
	It's disgusting.
	Why does anybody want to do this?
	Why does anyone want to trash a bathroom?
	Why did people used to swallow live goldfish?
	Hey, did you ever do that?
	No.
	Why would anyone want to swallow a live goldfish?
	Wasn't that a thing back in the day?
	Yeah, in the 1920s.
	No, my parents did it in, I think, in college.
	Well, that was in the 1920s, I'll bet.
	No!
	No!
	That was in the...
	in 1960.
	You don't remember?
	That was part of streaking and the goldfish swallowing?
	I remember streaking.
	Streaking was very popular.
	You don't remember goldfish swallowing?
	No, that was...
	it was not in the West Coast.
	Nobody out here is that dumb.
	Oh, man.
	No, you guys are geniuses over there.
	Smartest one in the pack.
	Here.
	Wikipedia.
	Goldfish swallowing.
	History.
	Let's see.
	1963.
	Here we go.
	Although it is not clear how the fad emerged, various people have made claims.
	A 1963 letter to the New York Times claimed it was started by a man named John C. Lothrop Withington Jr.
	who was a freshman at Harvard and did so to win a $10 bet.
	East Coast.
	Harvardians.
	As a bid to become class president.
	The stunt started a competition between multiple universities such as, here we go, Penn, East Coast.
	MIT, East Coast.
	Yes, and Missouri.
	Somehow Missouri weaseled their way in.
	Yeah, you're right.
	I suppose the Ivy League.
	Yeah, Ivy League nutjobs.
	But it was a thing.
	My parents used to talk about it.
	They'd talk about it lovingly.
	Oh, I remember the days we'd just swallow goldfish.
	So yeah, Americans certainly do this, but this is a worldwide trend.
	TikTok, I'm telling you, TikTok is something fierce, man.
	It's a very, very fierce system.
	Alright, a couple things to catch up on.
	Do you know about the row between the United States and Russia that nobody's talking about in the media?
	Between who?
	The United States and Russia.
	Oh, yes, of course I do.
	They're calling everybody spies.
	Gosh, golly.
	Including Bellingcat, which is cool.
	Bellingcat is that bullcrap operation.
	Right, one of those, yeah.
	Well, here's the diplomatic Russia versus U.S. clip.
	More than a dozen senators are calling on President Biden to expel 300 Russian diplomats if the Kremlin doesn't issue more visas for Americans to represent the United States and Russia.
	In August, Russia banned the U.S. Embassy in Moscow from using non-U.S. staff members except as security guards.
	The State Department said the situation forced them to fire 182 employees and more contractors.
	A letter from the Senators says Russia has to issue enough visas to allow the U.S. Embassy to have about as many diplomats as the Russian Embassy does here.
	The letter asks Biden to send back 300 Russian diplomats if Russia doesn't comply.
	Earlier this year, the Biden administration expelled 10 Russian diplomats and imposed sanctions against several dozen individuals and companies.
	The administration blamed alleged Russian interference in elections and hacking campaigns for the move.
	Yeah, let's see.
	I guess there's a New York Times news outlet or something.
	They also made the list, BBC, but the Bellingcat, which is Dutch-based, the ones who kept saying, oh, the Russians shot down the plane, the Russians shot it down.
	Yeah, but they robbed them.
	Well, that makes sense.
	I got one other thing.
	But that's a quid pro quo.
	I mean, we did the same to RT. They have to register as foreign agents.
	Yeah, that was the quid pro quo.
	I know RT is hard to come by now.
	That's true.
	So Trump gave a speech in Iowa, and I have the redux of it, just the whole thing summarized.
	As we gather tonight.
	I'm sorry.
	But, but, I have to start with the NPR's report on it in advance so we can hear what they think about Trump as if this is Trump NPR. Former President Donald Trump is holding a rally in Iowa at this hour.
	NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben reports the move could be setting the groundwork for Trump to make another run for the presidency in 2024.
	Trump is speaking tonight at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines.
	Several Iowa Republican politicians will also appear, including Senator Chuck Grassley and Governor Kim Reynolds.
	With well over two years to go until the 2024 Iowa caucuses, national polling shows that Republicans have further warmed to Trump in his absence from the White House.
	Two-thirds of Republicans and Republican leaners say he should remain a major national political figure.
	That's up 10 points from earlier this year, according to a new poll from the Pew Research Center.
	And a plurality of Republicans, 44%, said they think he should run for president in 2024.
	The poll also showed that Democrats overwhelmingly do not want Trump to remain a major political figure.
	Yeah, this...
	They are so...
	They are so obsessed...
	And the only reason they're obsessed is because it's bringing back a little bit of ratings.
	Just a teeny-weeny.
	Bring it back a little bit because they got Trump in the picture.
	Trump is still drawing the huge crowds.
	He supposedly said some huge...
	And they showed the camera because it's not done by the...
	I saw the crowds were there hours before, once again.
	And they were, yes, like days before.
	Yeah.
	And they listen to all these boring guys go on and on before Trump finally comes on late at night after the football game.
	Wow.
	Because you know he was watching.
	He probably was.
	But he, it was like, I mean, people, you know, Biden, meanwhile, gets a tepid, you know, a couple of people clapping.
	So here's the, but here's the, I believe, this is summarizes the entire and all of the speeches so far.
	And they say this is indicating he's going to run again.
	He's giving these speeches still every couple of weeks.
	Not as much as he used to, but he's still doing them.
	This is the Trump in Iowa.
	This is the redux.
	This is everything that all these rallies are about.
	As we gather tonight, millions of Americans are realizing that Joe Biden and the radical left have brought our nation to the brink of ruin.
	There's never been anything like what has happened.
	After just nine months under Biden, violent criminals and bloodthirsty gangs are taking over our streets.
	Illegal aliens and deadly drug cartels are taking over our borders.
	Inflation is taking over our economy.
	China's taking over our jobs.
	The Taliban has taken over Afghanistan.
	Lunatic leftists are taking over our schools and radical socialists are taking over our country and we're not going to let that happen.
	Yeah, he's hitting all the points, man.
	Nailing it.
	It's just a single debate.
	And regarding the Taliban, Thursday...
	The U.S. delegation met with the senior Taliban representatives in Doha again for a face-to-face.
	They're treating them as a world stage player.
	World stage player!
	It's crazy!
	It's fun.
	And Trump is right.
	Trump is right about a lot of things.
	We left Austin to re-enter the state of Texas.
	And I have never seen it this bad.
	And I feel bad for friends of mine who are showing up from out of state.
	Because this decay was well underway before the Californians got here.
	But now listen to what's going on.
	Every single night this is happening on our famous 6th Street.
	Austin's police chief tells us officers heard gunshots and started running here to East 6th Street and Sabine.
	And when they got here, they saw a group of men shooting at each other.
	One officer discharged his firearm.
	Our KXAN investigators were a block away with officers working on a special report.
	Here you can see officers performing life-saving efforts on the man shot and killed.
	Okay, so what's dishonest about the report is these are teenage boys.
	These are teenage boys and gangs fighting each other with guns on 6th Street in Austin.
	That cost the city a lot of money to ruin the business on 6th Street.
	Well, it got pretty ruined with the BLM riots because they ruined a lot.
	Only one day only.
	And then the lockdowns.
	Oh, no.
	Austin downtown is fake.
	It's fake.
	It's phony.
	And now they've just made it into crap.
	Back to Trump.
	Here's just a couple of two stories, just to stay on top of what's happening with this January 6th, because they're going to continue with...
	I guess they're going to impeach him a third time just to do it for the hell of it.
	We can impeach anybody we want.
	Here's ABC, Good Morning America.
	This morning, former President Donald Trump threatening a showdown in the courts.
	The Biden administration green-lighting the release of some confidential documents from the Trump White House, saying they should be turned over to the House Select Committee investigating the attack on January 6th.
	The committee wanting to know what former President Trump and his closest confidants were doing moment to moment that day.
	This committee is investigating a dark day in our democracy.
	In a letter to the National Archives where presidential records are preserved, Biden's White House counsel said the documents could help the committee get to the bottom of the events that day, and that any assertion of executive privilege is not in the best interest of the United States.
	And again, I'll remind everybody, they really think that their messaging system still works.
	It's leaky.
	People don't care.
	They're not watching.
	They don't care.
	You can say all you want.
	You can do as many reports as you want.
	I don't think the people are tuned out.
	We stay tuned in because of this Senate report.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Now this is the smoking gun.
	We got him now.
	Ah, tipping point.
	In early January, Donald Trump attempted to use the Justice Department to effectively steal the presidential election.
	According to a new Senate report that...
	By the way, this is some great projection.
	This is just the best.
	In early January, Donald Trump attempted to use the Justice Department to effectively steal the presidential election.
	According to a new Senate report that documents this brazen attempt by Trump to stay in power.
	Former President Donald Trump would have shredded the Constitution to keep his office in the presidency.
	There is no doubt in my mind.
	Trump had been enraged when Attorney General Bill Barr said there was no widespread fraud in early December.
	Well, he hasn't done anything, so he hasn't looked...
	They haven't looked very hard, which is a disappointment, to be honest with you.
	After Barr left in mid-December, the report says Trump turned the screws on acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen to do what Barr had refused to do.
	But Rosen refused, too.
	He told the Senate committee he said to Trump the Justice Department, quote, can't and won't just flip a switch and change the election.
	In response, Trump asked the DOJ, just say the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republican congressman.
	In late December, Trump turned to an obscure environmental lawyer at DOJ named Jeffrey Clark, who promised to do what Barr and Rosen would not do, declare without evidence that there was widespread voter fraud, and to pressure states that Joe Biden had won to change their results.
	At a dramatic three-hour Oval Office meeting on January 3rd, Trump said he wanted to fire Rosen and make Clark acting Attorney General.
	Rosen told the committee, Trump said to him, quote, One thing we know is you, Rosen, aren't going to do anything to overturn the election.
	At the meeting, Trump was told that every senior DOJ official other than Clark would resign if he went through with his plan.
	White House Counsel Pat Cipollone said he would resign too, saying Trump's plan amounted to a, quote, murder-suicide pact.
	And with that, Trump reluctantly backed down.
	There's your narrative.
	There's your narrative.
	It's a good one.
	He almost did this.
	He almost, almost tore up the concept.
	He almost, he almost, but I mean, even if completely 100% true, wow, the system worked, I guess, because he said, all right, so the system worked, but ah, he's such an evil man, always thinking evil about shredding the Constitution.
	And I'm still looking at these, you know, now we have the Detroit audits happening, Michigan, and the absentee ballots or the mail-ins, it's very similar patterns, so...
	This will never be resolved.
	There will not be any overturn of the election.
	No, there won't be, but there will be some reforms.
	There's got to be reforms.
	I mean, then they had the reformed people.
	They had some woman on being grilled by the various parties about election fraud in the Senate.
	I got a clip with Mike Lee going after this woman.
	Oh, I haven't heard from Mike in a long time.
	Yeah, he's going after this woman, something, something, Clark.
	She's in the Justice Department and Mike's yakking away about one thing or another and then tries to get her to say, what's so racist?
	She's a black woman.
	What's so racist about voter ID? And her answer to this was just like classic bureaucratic obfuscation.
	And one of the things that I hear from you is that the average American's concern about the integrity of our elections is somehow based in racism.
	Well, this is not Mike Lee, the reporter I thought it was.
	This is a different Mike Lee.
	No, I'm talking about Mike.
	This is a Senate thing.
	Mike Lee is a congressperson.
	Oh, okay.
	I got it.
	That's Matt Lee.
	Matt, you're right.
	Thank you.
	I'm reframed.
	I'm here.
	And one of the things that I hear from you is that the average American's concern about the integrity of our elections is somehow based in racism.
	Fortunately, the facts don't support that premise.
	Now, progressives have tried to label any integrity election protection procedure, such as the laws that have been passed, for example, in Georgia of late, as somehow amounting to racist voter suppression.
	And yet, these provisions have strong support from voters across the political spectrum, including among minority voters.
	So can you tell me, Ms.
	Clark, what exactly is racist about requiring a person to provide a voter I.D.? When participating in the precious, sacred, constitutionally protected process of voting.
	Thank you, Senator.
	So the inquiry is whether or not a particular law is discriminatory, and we won't know that until we actually look at the facts.
	We look at the particular law at issue, and we look at where is it being applied, and are there racial disparities in terms of who has access, to example, to the limited forms of ID that might be called for by a law.
	So I think the inquiry is about discriminatory effect and discriminatory purpose.
	And I would note that the senator's gone conservatively over his time.
	I didn't want to interrupt him, but...
	Yeah, they cut him off.
	Yeah, of course.
	Shut up.
	Wow.
	Shut up, douchebag!
	So when is this...
	Are they going to have hearings?
	When does the big circus start?
	Do we have any idea?
	So that we can deal with that?
	You know, it's really hard.
	I realize that we do have more clips than most people do on...
	From C-SPAN or Senate and House hearings.
	But these guys are grandstanders.
	They don't get to the point fast.
	You have to do the same thing I do.
	You've got to cut out extremely long pauses.
	Yeah, there's a lot of that.
	Where the guy will say something and then pause for two seconds.
	And then when you cut all the pauses out, it sounds pretty okay and it still sounds like they're talking slow.
	Yeah.
	It's beyond me.
	Now, I do have, if you're looking for entertainment, I think we're already, I could push these.
	Well, no, I mean, we still have a second donation segment to do.
	Yeah, I don't want to, but I do have some C-SPAN call-ins.
	Yeah, but what do you got for right now?
	Before we go in...
	Well, I got this.
	The last little clip I have is that...
	No, no.
	I'll do something.
	I'll do something here.
	Okay.
	Okay?
	Because I do want to hear C-SPAN later.
	This is COVID Down Under.
	This is a fine, upstanding young man, Australian citizen, who is sunbathing on the beach.
	Okay.
	So I'm Constable Weston from Marooba Police Station.
	As I said before to you, sunbathing is not an essential reason to be outside.
	I'm requesting your identity.
	By the way, this guy is pasty white.
	You must provide that identity to me, okay?
	And we'll investigate further.
	For me, sunbathing is not essential.
	Do we believe that the public health order is superseding common law?
	Okay, we're not arguing points of law with you.
	We're acting on the public health order.
	You need to be outside for an essential reason.
	You are in a hot spot zone for the COVID virus.
	Unfortunately, we must enforce.
	You've got to be outside for an essential reason.
	Laying on the beach, just having a sunbathe, it's not an essential reason to be outside.
	I Now, we're going to look further into whether you are committing an offence.
	Can you believe that?
	Laying on the beach is not an essential reason you're getting fined.
	Yeah, Australia's worst case scenario.
	I'm taking it back.
	New Zealand is already past them.
	Yes.
	New Zealand, home of yet another young global leader.
	I'm going to show my salute by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.

	But your producers...
	No, I know, but they have to follow the rules.
	But we haven't ever really published any rules for promos and stuff like that.
	No, we did.
	I've discussed these lengthy things before.
	We have never discussed promos.
	This was a promo.
	And the meetup report should not be more than a minute.
	Preferably...
	It depends on how big your meetup is, of course.
	So we're just trying to keep it all structured, just trying to keep it rolling.
	You know, I also have to do a lot of work on every single report.
	I've got to be, like, cutting and pasting stuff together.
	I don't mind it because people seem to enjoy these meetups, and there's a lot of fun to be had.
	Today, the No Agenda 505 Albuquerque, New Mexico meetup.
	It's actually taken...
	It starts at 2 o'clock, so they may be just about ready to start, and that is Sir Jeff Towig, of course, is organizing that, the Sidetrack Brewery.
	Also today, the Three Mile Island Evac Zone Meetup, 3.33 at Lydian Stone Brewing.
	That's in York Haven, Pennsylvania.
	Monday and tomorrow, the South Togo Meetup, 6 o'clock.
	That's Zero Greenwich Mean Time.
	Details in post.
	Contact organizer.
	Okay, we'll check that one out.
	On Tuesday the 12th, the Northside See You Next Tuesday weekly meetup, 6 o'clock.
	And they have a new weekly meetup every Tuesday at Grace and Levitt Tavern.
	Coming up this month, North Carolina 15th.
	The 16th is big.
	We've got the big one in Snoqualmie Valley, Washington, Sook, British Columbia, Eastern Tennessee, Long Beach, California, Cincinnati, Ohio, Nassau, Bahamas, and Bastrop County, Texas.
	That's...
	What?
	I was thinking about the Bastrop kissing booth.
	And since you're only going to be there for an hour and it's going to be $20 a kiss, I thought just to maybe generate a little more income that it would be $30 and they get to give you the tongue.
	What do you think?
	I think you really have gone over the edge.
	You don't like...
	What?
	Damn it, this...
	No.
	It was just a thought.
	It was just a thought.
	Passing thought.
	I thought it would be...
	Okay, you just get the peck.
	Never mind.
	I do like it when you're like this.
	It's always fun.
	It always makes for a fun show.
	I never know how it happens.
	I never know how it triggers.
	I know there is going to be a kissing booth.
	There's not going to be a kissing booth.
	It's not true.
	There's no kissing booth.
	There's cornhole and chicken shit bingo.
	And lots of food and good music.
	And more importantly, all of the Gitmo Nation human resources who can make it there.
	It's going to be fun.
	175 people registered so far.
	No, no, no.
	I got a new note.
	How much?
	198.
	Wow.
	And probably over 200.
	That's the No Agenda Meetups.
	It doesn't matter if it's 200 or two.
	They all are very meaningful and they're produced and managed by you.
	And of course, we have noagendameetups.com.
	Go ahead, find one, see if there's one near you.
	You can search for it.
	If you can't find one, perfect opportunity to start your own.
	Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
	You want to be where you want me.
	Triggered or held to blame You want to be where everybody feels the same It's like a party You know what I don't have?
	I do not have a single ISO. You're falling down on this.
	You didn't have much less?
	I got two.
	I got two.
	One of them's probably...
	You'll probably like one of them.
	I'm going to have to like one of them because I don't have any.
	Okay, I got ISO. Thank you.
	Thank you so much for your interest.
	Is that Miliband?
	Yeah.
	That's funny.
	I like him.
	Yeah.
	And then I got the howl.
	Howl.
	Hmm.
	I like the howl, but I think I like the...
	Thank you.
	Thank you so much for your interest.
	I think that's more rude.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I agree.
	A little bit ruder.
	Okay.
	Cool.
	How about...
	You could do any of the C-SPAN stuff just to get us out on a humorous note.
	I don't think I have anything necessarily that we have to talk about.
	We got the Aussie guy.
	I got the Texas update on that.
	No, that's depressing.
	That's depressing.
	I don't want to talk about it.
	They always bring these women.
	It's depressing.
	Well, they overturned the overturn, right?
	It's back on.
	It's on again, off again.
	I do have this stupid report.
	This is the DEA in Mexico.
	I think we have our nerve.
	U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Ken Salazar says the U.S. is asking Mexican authorities to allow DEA agents to work in Mexico.
	The country pulled foreign agents' immunity from prosecution last year and imposed strict limits on their contacts with their Mexican counterparts.
	Analysts say that affects the DEA's ability to gather intelligence on Mexican drug cartels.
	This is pretty interesting.
	We've got the CIA saying, we're coming!
	We're coming!
	We've got these guys going like, can we please, can we please spy on your country?
	What is going on?
	Well, I guess the DEA had permission before and they were abusing the privilege and so the Mexicans, and killing people.
	Oh!
	Oh!
	Fast and furious anyone?
	And so the Mexican government says, no, they kicked them out and now they're begging to go back in.
	So, that's kind of, I think, the back story.
	I am excited to find out what will happen between now and Thursday's show, because I got a feeling.
	I got a feeling.
	Well, you're going to be on, I got a feeling too, you're going to be on the Megyn Kelly show on Tuesday, and then when's Bastrop?
	Is that this week coming up?
	Yes, next Saturday.
	Next Saturday!
	And people going to that, make sure to bring an envelope and then write, if you're going to give a donation, you should, to Adam and give it to Tina.
	Probably keep it safer.
	And write a note with your name on it inside the envelope.
	End of show mixes from Tom Starkweather with a nice little anthology and Professor JJ coming in with some crack stuff.
	Coming up next on NoAgendaStream.com, you can troll away in the troll room, the latest episode of Podcasting 2.0, the podcast.
	Coming to you from the heart of Texas Hill Country, FEMA region number six in the governmental maps.
	In the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where we used to have parades...
	In Chinatown on 10-10 day, but that's all done.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We return on Thursday right here with more Deconstruction.
	Please remember us at dvorak.org slash na.
	Until then, adios mofos!
	We face a hostile ideology, global in scope, atheistic in character, ruthless in purpose, and insidious in method.
	It's showing how American science and technology, American business and academia, and our government can all work together.
	I don't think it should be mandatory.
	I wouldn't demand it to be mandatory, but I would do everything in my power.
	Just like I don't think masks have to be made mandatory nationwide.
	Screw your freedom.
	I had to move toward requirements that everyone get vaccinated, or I had the authority to do that.
	My message is require your employees to get vaccinated.
	I want to thank Walmart, Google, Netflix, Disney, Tyson Foods for the recent action requiring vaccination for employees.
	You're getting inoculated, or you're getting fired.
	Once you're vaccinated, you are no longer a threat to public health.
	Once I got vaccinated, it was no holds barred.
	People who have the vaccine are still able to be infected by this virus, and that virus is still able to replicate inside.
	So people who are vaccinated can still get COVID. The PCR test came back.
	And it came back positive, and I just feel so bad.
	Athletes and politicians sharing their stories of contracting COVID even after being fully vaccinated.
	The role that vaccinated people play in spreading it, I don't know, but I can tell you, I think every state in the country had higher cases this summer than they did last summer.
	So they might actually get the virus if they just completely let down their guard.
	Okay, that's interesting.
	Vaccinated people may be able to transmit it as easily as those who are unvaccinated.
	That's where boosters can be.
	When the data demonstrate that we are ready to give boosters, the government will be ready.
	We are planning right now.
	We've been working really actively just this whole last week to try and move the science, move the data to the American people.
	But the data are not going to change.
	Some of the numbers may change a little, but the conclusion will not change.
	We should expect tens of thousands, perhaps, of breakthrough infections.
	Vaccination is going to be, in the end, your route to liberty.
	Go get vaccinated.
	You can still get the virus if you're vaccinated.
	You can still spread the virus if you're vaccinated.
	What you should do is get it as soon as you can in the most expeditious manner.
	I wear a mask to school.
	I wear a mask to school.
