This is your award-winning Kimo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1394.
This is No Agenda.
We're exponentially happy 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 the river of doom and the bomb of some sort went off and lasted, I don't know, less than a day.
I'm John C. Devorak.
It's Crackblot and Buzzkill in the morning.
I'm amazed you have facilities.
I'm amazed you have electricity.
It was doom.
It was the river of doom.
How can you be even speaking to me?
Well, it was raining last Sunday, and that's when it rained.
And it did rain a lot, because it rained six inches, pretty much.
Oh, that's a lot.
It is a lot.
But it was only over the one day, and the ground was, for some reason, it didn't get muddy or anything.
It just soaked it up.
Really?
It was so dry, of course.
So you got lucky.
There was enough rain to soak it up, but not enough to cause mudslides.
There was nothing.
In fact, the next day, it looked like it didn't even rain in some areas.
Oh, man.
You can't trust the news.
Well, they were telling us it was going to be raining for days and days.
I have a weather report.
This is not what I wanted to start with.
Okay.
Well, you started it.
But since they started, this is the weather report, the way it described the situation.
Play this clip.
Oh, weather reports.
Under weather reports.
Rain has been relentless.
Here in Sacramento, we saw the wettest state ever on record, and you can see what came with it.
Flooding streets just like this.
Water is rising all across this region, and the rain is showing no signs of letting up.
Two dangerous storm systems converging, slamming the West Coast.
Heavy rain drenching a region stricken by drought.
Dangerous flash flooding, swamping cars, life-threatening landslides tumbling down terrain burned by recent wildfires.
This drone footage showing massive boulders, rocks, and mud burying a highway where the Dixie Fire ravaged over 950,000 acres.
The torrential rain and floods in Northern California fueled by the highest level of the phenomenon known as an atmospheric river.
Described by some meteorologists as a firehouse of moisture in the sky.
It's aided by a cold front dragging across the state in part by a bomb cyclone storm system swirling north in the Pacific Ocean.
From San Francisco to Sacramento, evacuations underway for hundreds of homes in the mountains.
You just knew that there was nothing going on because we didn't have any of these.
You know, like, John!
John, I'm out here!
It's really windy!
I can't believe the rain!
It's really horrible!
What's going on here?
Stay safe, Adam.
Thank you.
We had none of that.
There was none of that.
No, and the next day, Monday, the day after the rains, which were, they were not minor, but it didn't blow a tree over or anything.
It didn't knock the power out.
And the next day it was sunny.
Right now it's really nice out.
It's like, what happened?
It's supposed to be doing it all week for weeks on end, this horrible river of doom or whatever they got.
Well, fail.
Although we dropped from, we went from It's 87 degrees to 71 overnight, the day after, so I guess Monday.
Well, you must be freezing your butt off at 71.
Oh, yes, yes.
Oh, yeah, we're lighting fires here.
It's crazy.
We got the wood-burning fireplace on.
Before we start today's show, I did want to play one clip.
Okay.
It's a COVID clip.
It's on the booster.
It's the booster update.
This, to me, made me want to quit the show.
Oh, okay.
Shocking.
It's like, what's the point of doing this show when you listen to this clip?
There's some encouraging news tonight in the fight against COVID. New cases have dropped by nearly 60% since the Delta variant surge in September.
The FDA is expected to greenlight Pfizer's mini-dose for kids, 5 to 11 years old, by the end of this week.
And those shots could start being given out as early as next Wednesday.
And while many Americans are lining up for their third COVID shot, the CDC has updated its guidance for people with compromised immune systems, saying they can now get a fourth dose of Pfizer What?
I know, I know, I know, I know.
Wait, wait, let's get this straight.
It's less than a year since the first shots were given.
And now, because this shot is such a turd, they have to give a fourth dose already?
Only for those who are severely immunocompromised.
That's this week.
Next week is a fourth dose to five-year-olds.
It was interesting because this rollout was exactly that.
Just like your clip, 30 seconds.
I had the exact same clip from ABC. Just as booster shot availability expands to 70 million Americans across the country, tonight word of a potential fourth shot for one vulnerable group.
The CDC now allowing people who are moderately and severely immunocompromised, about 3% of the population, to get another shot at least six months after completing their third mRNA vaccine dose.
This foreshot is essentially equivalent to a booster for immunocompromised people, but does not mean that the general public is looking at a foreshot anytime soon.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Gee, that sounds familiar.
Yeah.
But they can't go back.
They have to keep moving forward.
There's no way.
There's no admitting.
It's not in the cards.
They can't do that.
They can't admit that it's a turd, as you said.
Perfect.
It's a turd.
Well, we got lots of turd news coming up, but first, it is Thursday, the first Thursday of the week.
You know what that means, everybody?
And it's time for 3x3.
Experiment by JCD. Comparing stories from ABC, CBS, and NBC. That's why every Thursday John C. DeVorek checks out the big three, the morning shows, to see what important things they are telling the non-playing characters and the normies of the world.
John, what are you learning?
Well, what I'm learning is that these networks are in trouble.
Did you notice that there was a report today that the Peacock Networks lost over $500 million?
Oh, their streaming service?
The streaming service.
No, I did not.
Yeah, and it just came out in cable news, and so they decided to resign themselves because it's like, What are they doing at Peacock that's just not...
I mean, I think maybe there's some original content there, but generally, isn't it just repurposing?
I think the problem is that they have a free tier that people are on.
And they didn't go straight to, you know, really, you just got to really subscribe.
But they probably don't have the original content.
Hulu is satisfying people, I guess.
I don't know.
Maybe people are looking at their bill at the end of the month and saying, hmm, I'm paying over $300 a month for crap.
I only watch little bits and pieces.
Yeah, could be.
Well, CBS started off, they were just ending when I turned it on.
And this one guy says, Larry Hogan's in the progressive green room.
He used this term, the progressive green room, because Larry Hogan is the governor of Maryland.
He's going to be on.
Oh, that's going to be exciting.
The progressive green room?
Yeah, the progressive green room.
It's called the progressive green room.
Well, they just said that, I think, because Larry Hogan's kind of a progressive Republican.
Yeah.
Oh, I see.
It was a joke, I guess.
But anyway, they cut away and then they went to some...
Then they pointed out there's a lot of Dan Levy commercials.
The gay son of the SCTV character is just getting...
This guy's got the best agent in the world.
Oh, the guy from Schitt's Creek.
Oh, yeah.
Making tons of money.
And he's playing it up more.
But also, remember the vagina commercial?
That aired during the whatever stupid award show No One Watched?
That was the sister.
They're like marketing bonanza.
Yeah.
Okay.
So I clicked over to NBC and they had...
Think about shopping, but not any shopping.
Not done the right way.
Oh yes, they had some poor woman.
No, it was a shopping cart.
It was unwatchable.
It was a woman who had been attacked by two black kids at a mall and was beat up and they threw a shopping cart at her and gave her brain damage.
It was a long, sappy interview on her brain damage and how she's recovering and she doesn't have any bad feelings and okay, whatever.
And so then I cut over.
That was no good.
So then I cut over back to CBS where Hogan was on.
Oh.
And he's going on and on about how great Maryland is and his 80% vaccination rate.
And we loved it when it's going to be great when the five-year-olds get their shots.
Woo!
Lovely.
We're keeping, quote, keeping people safe, unquote.
He goes on and on.
And then the guy, or I think it was the guy interviewing him, says, so you're going to run for president?
And the guy...
And it's obvious when he says the question is, yeah, why else would Larry Hogan, the bald-headed kind of billiard ball guy, even beyond the show.
Beyond the show, yeah.
Yeah, he's running for president.
And he's like, oh no, my goodness.
He went on and on about it.
Now I'm not running for...
Then he blamed Trump for...
By the way, there's this meme going around.
Trump is responsible for 11...
It's at least 111,000 deaths directly from COVID. Oh, that's all?
They couldn't come up with more?
Well, I don't know why they kept that number so low.
Yeah, you could do much better than that.
But Hogan blames Trump.
He says, well, you know, yeah, he got the vaccine through, but he did a lousy job.
Oh, you mean like Pfizer didn't announce that it was available until after the election?
You mean that's the lousy job?
Yeah, I think so.
Mm-hmm.
So I got off of that and finally clicked over to NBC because I didn't like the other story.
Oh, they're going to do a Blues Brothers redo.
There we go.
And then there was a special on Tom Hanks crashing various people's weddings.
Yeah, they're in trouble.
You're right.
They got nothing.
And then they went right to Pop Start.
Ah, my favorite.
Yeah, Pop Start.
A bunch of celebrity news, starting with Tom Hanks, and then the most scary movie is The Shining, and they went on with a bunch of crap.
Oh, man.
And then back to ABC. Finally got to ABC. What was on ABC? Shopping.
Take a guess.
Shopping.
Deals and steals.
There it is, everybody.
It is your Sunday ABC experience.
Any deals or steals?
By the way, on deals and steals, Strahan was there going, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's nodding to this girl who's all bubbly.
Oh, look at what we got here.
And he says, we'd like to mention that we'd partner with all of these folks.
And he gave the disclaimer.
Oh, really?
That was his job.
Oh, God.
The poor man.
He got the short end of that stick.
So that wasn't a very good report.
No, well, you can only do what the good networks give you.
That's right.
And they are clearly in trouble.
They have no quality programming.
That's why people are shifting away en masse.
En masse.
And we have an interactive two-way system.
I got a lot of emails about one particular topic.
And I'm sure you received the same.
Now, the last episode, you know, three hours and nine minutes into it, we missed a really important gap.
We missed a very important one.
How did we miss this?
Well, we were tired.
It was almost at the end of the show.
You say, oh, let's just do this fun clip.
And we both missed it.
It was unbelievable.
The Food and Drug Administration is considering Pfizer's request to give a lower dose of its COVID-19 vaccine to children ages 5 to 11.
And a decision from the FDA and CDC could come early next month.
And Pierre Salina Simmons-Duffin has more on how effective it may be.
The FDA brief said that the benefit of the vaccine is going to depend on where the pandemic is going, right?
So if there's a lot of spread, it would have a big benefit.
Whereas if the pandemic is winding down anyway, it's a little less clear.
But the analysis concluded that even if there isn't much spread, the benefits of vaccinating this age group may still outweigh the risks.
And that's what advisors are going to discuss and vote on on Tuesday.
And then on Tuesday, that analysis of Pfizer's data goes before a public meeting where a panel of independent advisors will debate whether the shots should be given to those children.
According to CDC data, more than 1.8 million children in that age group have been infected with the coronavirus.
There we go.
There we go.
It's so good this, and I can't believe we didn't hear it.
Here it comes again, in case you missed it.
...in that age group have been infected with the coronavirus. Officials say the risks of the vaccine outweigh the benefits and that it provides robust immune system response. I'm actually pointing the finger at you.
Me?
Yeah, well, mainly because it was my clip and you should have been looking for something I missed.
Yeah.
I was tired!
But B, you're the specialist in that particular switcheroo.
Wow, way to go, man.
You heard that clip three more times than I did and you're still going to blame it on me.
Yeah.
And I was preparing for the end of the show.
I'm like getting everything ready.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
What was I doing that I missed?
I'll be better.
I'll be better.
I promise.
You know, I'm listening.
You know what?
I think it has to do with NPR's somnambulistic style of presentation.
Okay.
Excellent.
Excellent word.
What the hell does it mean?
It puts you to sleep.
They have a boring presentation.
By the way, let me give you a little audio thing that fascinates me.
I record most of this stuff at pretty much the same levels, and I have to do an amplification boost so the dBs are even on all these.
Got to have good dog biscuits, yes.
With NPRs, the only one you can do this with, Pretty much whatever the level is, you see, you get your whole...
Instead of doing an amplification, you do a compression, and it brings them all up right to the max.
Interesting.
And only NPR I can do this with.
It's very strange.
And when you do it, you hit the compressor button.
It's like, wow, it really makes the waveforms look delicious.
No, no.
There's nothing like a delicious waveform in the morning.
It's like, you look at it and go, wow!
That waveform is delicious.
What are they doing on the front side when they're recording all this stuff that makes it work so well?
I'll have to look at their waveform, see what's going on.
That's interesting.
I really am baffled by it, but whatever the case...
There's no reason in the world I should have missed that.
You're right.
I recorded it.
I listened to it to edit it.
And then I finally listened to it again on the show and I'd never caught it.
It's unbelievable.
And the trolls were yelling in the troll room.
I didn't catch that.
Actually, you have the excuse.
You have the better excuse, which was you were busy because you were getting this show ready to end.
Yeah.
That was wrapping it up.
Anyway, it felt really good that I received at least 40, maybe 50 different emails, people sending the original clips, sending timestamps.
It's good.
That is what we need.
Good work, producers.
Well, most of the notes I got was, wow, you guys really blew it.
I got a couple of those.
It's pretty funny.
Yeah, it happens once in a while.
Now, before I move on, also, after the last show, we were looking at artwork and, you know, we always try to come up with a title.
And one of our titles, because it was, and this was your clip, was Biden saying exponentially.
And we considered naming the show exponentially.
Right?
Right?
Yeah.
In fact, I think, I don't know if it was you or it was me, like, well, you know, maybe that people will think we just can't spell, and it'll suck.
No.
The way I recall it, you liked the name.
It was on the list that you had of possible names.
And then, I didn't like it as much as the name we chose right from the beginning.
Space Wake.
I think it was you that came up with the idea that people would think we're idiots.
Yeah.
Well, little did we know, and this was your clip, little did you know, neither of us knew, this is a thing.
Well, here's what I, right away after hearing it that many times, that was a ridiculous number of times.
I will have to say that this has to be a Delawarean or some sort of a, just like, toothbrush.
It's got to be some sort of a pronunciation in some part of the country that is common.
That's all I can say.
It can't be anything else because you wouldn't be saying it that much.
I don't know, man.
He has problems with words.
And maybe it's just...
You even put something in the newsletter about the teleprompter.
Instead of four lines, it has three lines.
Giant type.
Giant font.
Yes.
You saw the picture.
It was in the newsletter.
And I have the clip.
This is the botch here.
This is a catchphrase of his at the end.
He says, God bless you.
God bless our troops.
And God protect.
No.
Oh.
Oh.
Okay.
He says, God bless you all and God protect our troops.
Okay.
And on the prompter, you can see that they had moved it up to all he could see was like barely the last line of the, you know, there's only four lines on there.
He just says, God protect our troops.
So he blows it up.
He blows it up because he doesn't have the prompter to read, even though it's his catchphrase.
He can't say it without it being on the prompter.
So play this clip.
This is him screwing it up to an extreme.
That's like Schwarzenegger screwing up, I'll be back.
Yeah.
Here we go.
God bless America and God bless our troops.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Yeah.
Well, okay, so what he's supposed to say is, God bless you all, God bless you, and God protect our troops, but he says, God protect, he starts to say protect, because it's up on the prompter, and he says, wait a minute, I'm not supposed to say that, so then he says, he says, God bless America, which is, he never says God bless America.
No, no, no, no.
And then he says, God bless our troops or something.
Play it one more time, it's only five seconds.
Okay, hold on.
God bless our America and God bless our troops.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
God bless our America.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
God bless our America and God, you know, he just botched the hell out of it because it's supposed to be, it's supposed to be God protect, and it's said on the prompter, God protect our troops, but he had to...
Well, how about this?
How about this?
How about...
There's some, maybe mRNA, but they've come up with something that allows him to read but not really comprehend.
Or maybe he just can't comprehend.
Clearly his mental facilities are weakened.
And by the way, I don't feel bad at all for him.
I used to feel bad about elder abuse.
I go back and look at the 94 crime bill and the super predator, all this stuff that he did.
Screw that guy.
He deserves it.
He deserves to go down like a feeble old douche.
Really, I've changed my mind on that.
Screw that guy.
That's a major change for you.
It's a change.
So here's kind of another maybe proof, but that he can read.
If he can read, then he's just reading.
He's not comprehending what he's saying.
No more expression.
Time is money.
As one computer said, if you're on the train and they say Portal Bridge, you know you better make other plans.
I'm sure he meant to say commuter, but why can't he figure that out in his head and why does it come out of his computer?
He said computer.
As one computer said...
You know, it's like...
So they're going to have to do something about that, these computers.
Well, again, I will say this...
That prompter he's got in the back of the room that was shown in the newsletter is a picture of it.
It's four words by three lines.
I'm sorry, three words across by four lines down.
That has got to be a bitch to read from.
You can't read that.
No, it's very hard.
That's why, and he's always squinting, you see him squinting, looking straight, like it looks like he's looking straight into the camera, he's looking at that prompter, and reading it word for word, and he's just, it's, I don't, I don't know, if I would try to do that and sound natural, I don't know how you can do it, you have to, You just have to sound...
I don't know.
It's just...
Well, for anyone who's ever done prompter reading, you'll know that that's very difficult.
You need to have enough lines.
And your operator...
I'm sure he has a trained operator who's trained for him.
You know, it's the old joke, like how do they get the horses, the ponies to dance in the circus?
And the secret is it's not the ponies dancing to the music, it's the music slowing down and speeding up.
The conductor is just making the orchestra go faster or slower to stay in time with the ponies.
That's what they're doing with Biden.
Well, they're doing a lousy job.
Maybe it's the best they can do.
Again, with that kind of equipment, with the four-line prompter...
Now, I don't know if it's always a four-line prompter, because when he's in a big auditorium, you see that big screen in the back.
It's a monster.
And I think the prompter's on either side of him when he has those.
We really need some dude named Ben to somehow get it.
We have lots of prompter operators.
Who are producers.
And I would not want anyone to do any sabotage, but wouldn't it be funny if all of a sudden just some weird tech showed up, like never going to give you up, never going to let you down, you know, anything, anything like that?
We need, someone needs to break this apart.
You know, that has been done.
Not to a president.
Not to Biden.
No.
But I'm saying it's been done in broadcasting.
Oh, sure, sure.
It's been done to me.
I'm sure it's been done to you.
No.
No.
At MTV, we got so bored, they do all kinds of stuff, trying to throw people off.
Yeah.
That's why I'm such a pro.
Uh-huh.
All right.
So, well, anyway, this was, like, pathetic.
But here's the other thing.
I mentioned this in the newsletter, I think.
He does the same exact speech, because I was watching two or three versions of it, you know, looking for different kinds of gaffes.
Can't he memorize this speech?
This is like a 16-minute speech.
He goes into some Scranton or some place, some little berg somewhere with a bunch of trains behind him, and he goes on and on with the exact same speech about, you know, good-paying union jobs and how we got to do this and that.
No, he can't.
He can't.
Anyway, where the president is changing words...
Oh, by the way, if you watch the video of that supercut, which is included in the show notes, nashownotes.com, what's funny is to watch the signers, the hand signers behind him, when he says exponentially, a couple of times you see them just stop, shake their head, and do whatever they just did a minute ago, and then continue.
I can't...
Interpret ASL, but you can see the face expressions like, what am I supposed to sign here?
But we're changing all kinds of definitions now that we have this Vax for Kids and we got the fourth booster for the immunocompromised.
Pfizer has changed the label a little bit, just a little bit.
The Pfizer data reviewed today shows that its child-sized dose, about a third of what's given to adults, is more than 90% effective at preventing symptomatic COVID infection in that age group.
You hear the difference?
Instead of infection, it is now symptomatic infection.
They changed that.
Yeah.
So, it's gone from...
Shoot, man, I don't think we played that on the last show.
Biden, yeah, this is him in April of 2021.
The data could not be clear at this point.
If you are fully vaccinated, two weeks beyond your last shot, you are nearly 100% protected against death from COVID, no matter what your age, no matter what your health history.
Remember that?
Oh, yeah.
The president said it.
He should at least go back and correct that.
No.
Okay, good point.
Oh, man.
We need to check out what's happening down under because in the state of Victoria, which houses the city of Melbourne, the premier there, Dan Andrews, known as Dictator Dan, Dan Alini, many different names, he has done something that is driving people nuts.
Completely nuts down there as he has, I'll just try and summarize, we have a couple of complete written out explanations, but in essence he's bypassing the political process so that he, And he, by himself, without any other vote, can just add more lockdowns.
And he can extend his three-month lockdown period for another three months.
And obviously, people think he'll be extending this for three months and three months and three months until it's time to vote because they've got an election coming up at the end of next year.
And everyone's kind of losing their crap over it.
3AW, the radio station, which is not a...
You know, has been pro-vaccine, has been kind of on board with everything.
This is the morning show.
I think it's the morning show.
Neil Mitchell.
And even he was upset about this.
If it wasn't so serious, it would be comedy.
This Chairman Dan planned to rule the world is appalling.
This could have been drafted in Beijing on his last visit.
Now, the more you look at it, the worse it gets.
I've got a tip on this.
This could happen in Victoria.
you could be arrested and detained without charge indefinitely with no right of appeal to a court and not for quarantine not because you're sick in the middle of a pandemic but because you broke the chairman dan list of rules now i doubt they'd do this to you for not wearing a mask although they could but they might do it if you're out there demonstrating or breaking a curfew or saying nasty things about dan i mean seriously if you breach an order and
You could be detained indefinitely, without charge, without the right of appeal to a court.
You could appeal to a detention review officer, but he's part of Dan's team.
He's a public official, not a judicial official, not an independent official.
We can't cop it.
Those ineffectual, self-interested, deal-doing crossbenchers can't cop it.
They need to stand up for us for a change, and we need to protest.
Yeah, but you're going to get shot with rubber bullets.
I'm sorry?
They should give him the nickname, a warden, Dan.
He's acting more like the warden of the prison colony that it once was.
I'm telling you, man.
People are upset by this.
How does this guy stay in office?
Well, right now, there's an election next year.
There's no way to get him out right now.
You can call for a snap election.
I'm not sure.
Enough people in Parliament bitched and moaning to do it.
But he has such a majority in the lower house.
Why would anybody in his party go along with this?
Fear?
Fear?
I mean, come on.
These people are also in the mass formation.
Maybe they dig it.
They have to be kicked out.
They love it.
I think they'll love it.
Here's a clip of Warden Dan as he explains the new Freedom Passport system, which will now be automatically updated when you have had all of your required JEBs.
So currently that stands at three, but it's open-ended and it will notify you when it's time for your fourth.
I hope, and we'll play our part in this, like a month before, your six months is up, then you will get a message and your vaccination certificate, the thing that gets you the green tick, You'll be prompted to go and book a time to go and have your booster shot.
There may be state clinics in that, or it might be all done through GPs and pharmacy.
That hasn't been worked through yet.
We're happy to play our part, though.
So it'll be about the maintenance of your vaccination status.
Oh, man!
Maintenance of your vaccination status.
How are you feeling now, people?
This is truly diabolical.
Insane, this guy.
And they are trying.
I mean, they're trying to make noise.
This is Liberal Party Senator Gerard Rennick.
And I've noticed a number of politicians in Australia have some talking points they're going out in the media with.
And they are always exactly the same.
It's three cases.
And the approach they're taking is, well, this is wrong because we've had people who've had severe adverse events after their first jeb.
They're afraid to take a second jab, but sorry, your vaccination status is not current, so you have no rights.
So it's either risk whatever could happen next or not be able to go anywhere like the rest of the unclean.
Tom, I'm not worried about 2050 at the moment.
What I'm worried about right now is what's happening in 2021.
And in particular, the adverse events that are happening to young people across the country from vaccines in the last week.
Hang on a minute.
Hang on.
In the last week.
No, no, no.
In the last week, I've had a 37-year-old woman who's had a stroke, been told she's got to take a second vaccine and is going to lose her job.
I've had a 19-year-old girl who's had severe clots in her legs and her lungs.
She's in hospital.
She took that Pfizer shot last Thursday night.
I've spoken to a 31-year-old man who's been paralysed since early September down his right-hand side.
He's got some movement.
Back in his right arm.
He has had no income for the last two months.
He just took out a mortgage before he got that shot.
He's been told, the only time he's heard from Queensland Health, is to be told that he's got to take a second shot.
Now, it's bad enough that people don't get a choice to take a vaccine, but it's worse that they're being forced to take a second vaccine after they've had an adverse event and that the government hasn't yet provided them income support while they've been unable to work.
So that's their countermeasures.
I would say severely ineffective.
That's not going to change anybody's mind?
Probably not.
Anywhere there's a crown, though...
In the country, it seems like people are just nuts.
Remember the Jeremy Vine show in the UK? We used to play clips from, gosh, years and years ago.
He's still on.
I don't remember.
Yeah, he's got his morning talk show.
He comes on at like 10, I think, heavily oriented towards female audience.
And this was a conversation.
Psychologically, it's a bit like parenting.
You have to start taking away freedoms.
You have to start putting some kind of punishment in place.
You can't have your chocolate bar until you've eaten your broccoli.
You are not allowed to go to a gig, to go to a restaurant, to go to a hairdresser.
Oh my, I need to go to a hairdresser.
But you're not allowed to go to a hairdresser unless you've had a vaccine.
No chocolate.
That's psycho.
Yeah, and she's actually saying that it's a psychological, that we've got to treat people like children.
Thank you.
Thank you.
So these mandates are coming to a head, and it looks like mid to end November is when I think a lot of things may come crashing down.
We have, I have a list, you may have some as well.
TSA. Does not believe they will be able to vaccinate enough screeners before Thanksgiving travel rush.
Okay, that's going to screw up a lot.
It's not reported anymore, but Southwest Airlines is still canceling up to 1,000 flights a day.
I just saw a report yesterday on it.
It's still being reported.
Oh, it is?
Okay.
Where did you see that?
One of the news outlets is local.
Oh, yeah, local, of course.
Local will do that.
We had protests on the Brooklyn Bridge.
The Brooklyn Bridge?
Yeah, that was underreported.
But I knew about that, too.
Oh, yeah, no, of course.
We know about all of it.
But it's not necessarily big news because it goes against the narrative.
Did you hear about the Job Creators Network with their billboard on Times Square?
No, this I did not.
Hey Joe, time to let the mandate go!
You're hurting jobs.
The Mounties for Freedom, Mounties are going to go on strike.
And then the dude's name Ben and the dudette's name Bernadette.
This is where it gets interesting.
I'm a dude named Ben had a ticket come in from a client.
She had all of her employees fill out an anonymous survey about their jab status if they were planning on getting jabbed.
Anonymous survey.
The results of the survey were in an Excel spreadsheet and every response had a unique ID column.
The ticket requested that we track down the users by unique ID.
We were all kind of stunned by this request.
Even the vaccine horny in my office thought it was gross.
We told her what she requested technically isn't possible.
Everyone in the office agreed we wouldn't do it even if it was possible.
So now you're leaking down your insanity to the people who matter and who actually run your corporation but you think all they want is a pizza.
Yeah.
Over at Podcasting 2.0, we have Alex, the guy who runs...
By the way, that story, I don't know who...
I didn't get a copy.
No, it's one of our producers.
It's disgusting.
Of course it is.
You tell somebody, one of your employees, that you're going to do an anonymous survey just so they can find out stuff, and then you actually try to track them down.
What kind of a company is this?
Why would you want to work there?
This is a dishonest operation.
That is exactly what people are seeing.
So Alex, who runs No Agenda Tube, he's also known as the Podcasting 2.0 Consultant.
He's a very skilled, very talented, very creative developer.
And his organization is mandating the vaccine.
He said, no, I will not do it.
And now they are begging him, as the deadline approaches, begging him to fill out an exemption.
And he said, no, no, no, you should have thought about that before.
And so he's just, because he can work anywhere.
Anytime he can get another job in a heartbeat.
There are a bunch of these guys, these hot shots, they're called superstars in the industry.
And they can work anywhere and you don't want to lose them because you don't have...
The number of them are very...
You can count them on both hands.
There's not that many.
And they take it or leave it kind of thing.
Yeah, I can see that.
Oh, yeah.
Guys like that are very hard.
You don't get another guy like that.
Right.
I love it.
I love it.
Then we have one more.
Yes, I'm a dude named Ben and a spook.
I will be separated.
I read that opening line of an email like, okay, yeah, you listen to the show.
I'm a dude named Ben and a spook.
And he probably is a dude named Ben and a spook.
I believe him.
I will be separated, in air quotes, from the company on November 22nd.
Definitely, because that's a governmental deadline, so he's totally spook.
I will stop working tomorrow and go on vacation until they fire me.
No one at the company knows yet.
I personally built three systems and am the only one with knowledge about them.
Yes, others will be able to figure them out and I'm nothing special, but productivity will fall.
I will give a large donation and tell my story once it has an ending.
I'm free!
I am excited!
Thank you, Mandate, for forcing me to find a better life!
Been here since day one, founding donor, dude named Ben.
Nice.
Yes, great!
Now, the Marines, as you know, all of the armed services have a mandate, and one of our Marines sent in a screenshot of the official correspondence from the commanding officer of the Marine Corps 2nd Maintenance Battalion at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.
And in this, it's clear to see, he states...
That the Navy, the Marine Corps falling under the Department of Navy, does not have any of the FDA-approved vaccines, the Cominardi, the Cominardi.
But, he says, essentially, the EUA, the Emergency Use Authorization stuff, is good enough.
So go ahead and we're just going to give you that.
They're going to be sorry about that.
I think that's a big mistake for them to do that.
That could lead to huge legal issues down the line.
It will.
Just legal issues are looming.
So now we know that the CDC is still trying to terrorize our kids.
This is part of the ongoing issue between parents, schools, school boards, medical professionals, and it's ugly.
Should vaccinated children still wear masks in school?
No.
Well, listen, I think this is a really important example.
We have to follow the CDC recommendations and the American Academy of Pediatric Recommendations.
And right now, we've heard the CDC directors say yes, they should.
Children two years of age and over should still wear masks in a classroom setting.
Even when they start to be vaccinated, which we're expecting for children ages 5 through 11 soon.
Could that change down the road?
Absolutely.
Is that going to be in place forever?
Hopefully not.
Right now the data is mixed about classroom risk of developing COVID-19 and transmission of COVID-19.
Some studies showing overall the risk is incredibly low even when children are not masked.
Other recent CDC data showing that the risk is dramatically reduced when children are masked.
So right now, the CDC director is saying the masks stay on.
Insane.
I got a note.
Oh, good.
This is a good note because it's for Texas.
You didn't expect this in Texas.
I am, this is from, let's see, from one of our producers.
I am was a sports cameraman.
A company who hires for the Dallas Cowboys, Mavericks, Stars, etc.
sent me a medical exemption form and a religious exemption form.
I went to see my doctor because of the mandates.
I went to see my doctor and he would not even touch the form.
He said that if he signs a medical exemption letter, the TMA, Texas Medical Association, will revoke his membership.
By the way, these people need to be tracked down.
Yeah.
And in preparation for shaving their head and marching them down Main Street naked.
They need to be named.
Yes.
Of course, he pitched the vaccine shot as a safe and effective option so he could get the government money.
He then sent me to a lab for an antibody test.
I asked, how much is that going to cost?
They said, we will bill it to the government and see if they pay it.
Yeah.
Which is going on to an exception.
There you go.
This is why Medicare and everything is...
That's why we have our fraud, waste, and abuse inspector who reports in regularly.
Yeah, the one.
The one.
You need an entire organization.
It would pay for itself.
I tested positive for the antibodies.
My doctor did say he would write a letter saying that I have antibodies.
That's the best thing to do.
Oh, that's something.
Yeah.
Now, another, just while we're on this topic of condemnation, I think, and craziness, you remember Peter McCullough?
Of course.
He's the doctor who came up with some of the, he was a big shot.
Mm-hmm.
Big shot, big editor.
He's the guy that is pretty much uncancellable, although they're trying quite hard, because of his record.
It's stellar.
You know, like 40 papers written.
He did something in late September, and I've got a copy of it.
I don't have any of the assertions he makes about the vaccine or anything, because we already played all those things.
I just want to play these clips.
This is some of his other things which confirm our dual thinking on this.
But let's start with the Peter McCullough intro.
Pivot to early treatment, risk of scientific censorship and reprisal.
So I'm Dr. Peter McCullough.
I've recently taken a position as a chief medical advisor for the Truth for Health Foundation, which is a foundation centered out of Tucson, Arizona, which is dedicated to exactly what we're doing right now today.
I am the president of the Cardio-Renal Society of America.
I've been the president for five years.
I helped form that organization.
I donated to it.
I think I'm going to be stripped of that title within a week.
I'm the editor-in-chief of Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine.
I think I will be stripped of that within a month.
Today I was stripped of the editorship of Cardiorenal Medicine, a Swiss-based journal, and in the last year I have lost my job at a major health system with no explanation and no due process.
I've been stripped of every title that I've ever had In that institution, I've received a threat letter from the American College of Physicians, a threat letter from the American Board.
And it's not, listen, Dr.
Brownstein, other people here have had it worse.
Okay, so whatever's happening is happening because of this, because of our efforts to have some scientific interchange.
Yeah, I'm glad you got this.
I watched this speech, but I don't recall that intro where he talked about him being stripped of all of his titles.
Whoops!
Like you just said, they're trying to cancel him.
It's pretty hard to actually really cancel, but they can marginalize him.
They're doing a good job.
And they're doing what they can.
Have they called him a racist yet?
Because that's...
That's coming.
So the thing that got my attention wasn't...
We've heard all these assertions before about what the vaccine does and the spike protein and all the rest.
But let's listen to this, which is more along the lines of what our current concepts are.
This is Peter McCullough on mass psychosis.
I don't have a single doctor who can look me in the eye...
And support what's being done to pregnant women.
What I see in their eyes is fear, shame, guilt.
They know they're wrong, but they're confused, and they can't seem to understand why they're wrong.
Doctors and those with them, and there's a lot with them, are in a trance right now.
They're in a trance.
They're in a mass psychosis, and it's worldwide.
Wow, the mass formation.
He's on it.
And I would have it mass hysteria.
So we have mass psychosis, mass formation, mass hysteria.
We've got a trifecta of masses.
So this is the part two.
This is the part where they had an open meeting online and he starts to talk about these people coming in from all over the world to discuss things.
And this is clip two.
And some young doctors dropped in from some islands on Indonesia and the Philippines and deep into South America and deep into Africa.
And I can tell you, the mindset is the same.
What's going on in the minds of these doctors and healthcare providers is the same.
It's what I call lockstep.
They're in lockstep.
They're thinking the same way.
They're frightened.
They're confused.
They're kind of scrambled.
They can't really explain or justify what they're doing, even awful things like in Scandinavia, like euthanasia for the seniors, and it's going on.
They can't explain it, and they're fearful.
And I ask them, do you know who Tony Fauci is?
Do you know who Bill Gates is?
They don't even know this.
I say, are you on Twitter?
No, we don't have Twitter here.
So it's not going through social media, you guys.
It's not going through Twitter.
It's not going through the Gates Foundation.
It's not going through Pfizer.
It's something's in the minds of people.
And it's global.
And they're in lockstep.
And there's a tiny fraction of people whose eyes are clear, their ears to hear, and they understand what's going on.
What's interesting about this is the term lockstep It has shown up during the pandemic from a 2010 paper written by the Rockefeller Foundation called Operation Lockstep.
And what it calls for is for the population, and I believe some professional segments, to be in lockstep.
It's interesting that he used that several times.
I wonder if he's basing his...
His thesis there, perhaps partially on that paper.
I don't know.
All I know is that the way he presents it is frightening.
He's stellar.
So, I guess what we need to do is just go to the doctors and go, and you'll be awake and you'll remember nothing.
And wakey, wakey, wakey, and three, two, one.
And there you go.
And you're back.
On the count of three.
And you'll be good to go.
Wakey, wakey.
Maybe not.
I have a clip of child abuse.
I think I picked this up from NPR about COVID. Okay.
Because to me, this is part of the whole situation.
And let's get some kids in there.
Because kids, of course, we know anyone out there has had any kids.
Kids love to get shots.
Because of the lollipop that you get after that.
They want to get a shot all the time.
Totally.
I don't know about you, but none of my kids have ever wanted shots.
They hate shots.
But no, no, no.
Because of the COVID shot, they want the shot.
Your children are just not good examples.
They're not good doobies.
Is that what I'm feeling in this report?
This is a child abuse, in my opinion.
28 million kids in the U.S. between the ages of 5 and 11 have gone through this whole pandemic without being eligible for a COVID vaccine.
But that could change soon.
The FDA is expected to approve emergency use of the Pfizer vaccine for them, and they could start getting shots as soon as next week.
Colorado Public Radio's Jenny Brundine talked to parents and kids about this moment.
Great light!
Yay!
The first kid I ask about whether or not he'll get the COVID vaccine is...
John Thomas Barton IV. What was that again?
John Thomas Barton IV. That's John Thomas Barton IV, who is in fourth grade and has already had four other immunizations.
Four, so I already know what the pain's going to feel like.
I really want to get this vaccine because then I know if anyone has COVID, my system will be able to fight it.
Yeah, that's pretty hard to listen to.
It goes on.
Yeah, that's pretty bad.
Well, the true horrible lie of this whole thing, besides PCR being utilized as testing versus just a process, is the lie of asymptomatic transmission.
That's the biggest problem, because from that, everyone has derided, well, you know, I could pass it to you, I could kill you.
It's never been like that.
Asymptomatic transmission is the key to success for this whole program.
Yes, yes, yes.
So you think that's child abuse.
Now, the child abuse has really taken place in schools, of course.
All new attend now.
Parents are upset after a student at East Jefferson High was given a vaccine without proper parental consent.
Ochsner says it happened Wednesday while a mobile unit was on site at the school campus providing Pfizer vaccines for those 12 and up.
Okay, so what's interesting about this report, besides the muffled audio, is that this is a Pfizer mobile unit Notice, it was explicitly said Pfizer, to go around to schools to vaccinate kids.
But it's Pfizer.
And you've got to think that the schools are in on this.
It's not just, you know, there's no choice.
Why couldn't it just be the CVS van?
And they have a choice.
And presuming that parents did give consent.
I don't like this.
That's really out in the open corrupt.
And, if you recall, a few months ago, Pfizer started, in Europe, started coming out with reports about, you know, different groups who are trying to make them look bad, and, oh, you know, myocarditis, this is bullcrap, it's not true, it's, you know, it's trolls trying to spread fake news.
You remember that?
Yeah.
You know?
Well...
I mean, it's common.
I mean, it's just everything they do is some moment of corruption, so it doesn't surprise me.
So now there's this group called the Insect Group, who have clearly been paid by Pfizer, and they released a report, and this report identifies...
Because what's going on is there's an open appeal letter, you may have seen it, opposing vaccination of teenagers against COVID-19, particularly with Pfizer BioNTech.
And it's circulating on European blogs, of course, and self-publishers.
But the letter is purportedly from physicians associated with the University of Latvia.
Anyway, so this, of course, is a fake letter, and they don't know what they're talking about, and we've done all this work, and we're reporting back.
But what caught my eye is the following report is an update to InSick Group's August 2021 publication, Operation Secondary Infection, with a K, I-N-F-E-K-T-I-O-N, Operation Secondary Infection continues targeting democratic institutions and regional geopolitics.
In an investigation into the likely Russian state-sponsored information operation, Secondary Infection!
So what they're saying is that, and I do not know the...
The validity or the authenticity of the Latvian letter is probably true, because they're out there saying, oh no, no, this is Russian disinformation.
But why Operation Secondary Infection?
And this is where I was blown away.
You know, I've compared the COVID, the entire COVID period to kind of a microcosm of what the HIV AIDS was with the same people with, you know, first super scary and we're all going to die.
You can get it from a toilet seat.
And then it was more nuanced and it just went on and on and on.
And so many parallels.
Right down to the PCR process, which was used as testing people for HIV. We have the same system now with COVID. So, wouldn't you know, the New York Times did a report about some of the misinformation at the time around the AIDS virus.
And I have a couple clips that kind of show an interesting new correlation between the same people running the AIDS virus.
Program and running the COVID program.
Excuses for the annoying music the New York Times produced this with.
Okay, so to start, let's go back.
And by the way, whenever you get a Brit doing something for an American newspaper, always be suspicious that spooks.
Okay, so to start, let's go back to July 1983 and all the way over here, New Delhi, India.
This is when a remarkable story appears in a newspaper called The Patriot.
It claims the HIV virus was secretly created by US government scientists as a weapon to kill African Americans and gay people.
It even names a facility, Fort Detrick in Maryland, where the virus was supposed to have been concocted.
It's a crazy allegation printed in a small newspaper.
No big deal, right?
But fast forward just a couple of years, and look what's happening.
The story is spreading all over Africa.
A scientific report's even published by two East German biologists who say they can prove AIDS is made in the USA. All these articles are from just a few months at the end of 1986.
And then, somehow, it ends up here.
A Soviet military publication claims the virus that causes AIDS leaked from a U.S. Army laboratory conducting experiments in biological warfare.
That's Dan Rather reading a fake news story to millions of unwitting Americans on national TV. But don't be too hard on Dan.
This was one of the greatest cons ever carried out on a global scale.
And we're going to show you how it was pulled off.
Do you remember this?
Do you remember that report?
I mean, not specifically that one, but this news that, oh my God, it was created at Fort Detrick.
It's a bioweapon.
I have, the first time I read about the AIDS, this was a period of time in the early 80s when this thing first broke out, that I was doing a lot of research in the newspaper archives at the University of California.
And I was keeping up with all the news.
And the first place I ever read about the Fort Detrick story was in the New York Times.
It was a story in the New York Times.
They did cite the Russians saying, well, the Russians believe it's da-da-da, and they talk about Fort Detrick.
And then if you start doing some research into the whole situation, Fort Detrick being a very suspicious operation to begin with, to say the least, there was a lot of talk in the 70s during the population bomb era.
Mm-hmm.
Ehrlich and the boys at Stanford about the world being overpopulated.
And this is a major problem in the 70s when a lot of people got vasectomies that shouldn't have gotten them when they were younger.
Fools.
And, well, suckers.
Lesbian looking.
Lesbian dudes.
So they...
So there was a bunch of people complaining that Africa was overpopulating itself and something had to be done about it.
And the belief is that Fort Detrick developed some systems to drop off in Africa because of certain ways of sexual practices and other things that go on there.
Anal sex, a lot of.
As a way of not getting pregnant.
Yes.
Population control.
Yeah.
But it wasn't doing anything for their population.
The population of Africa was completely going out of control and people believed in the 70s during the population bomb era, thanks to the people of Stanford, that Africa was the problem and that something had to be done about it.
Let's do something about it.
And thus, AIDS and Ebola were created for the purposes of wiping out most of the Africans.
That's the conclusion you had to come to based on any knowledge of the 70s and 80s as they existed.
And that's the way I came out of that era thinking something's wrong with all this information.
Okay.
That analysis can only be found on this podcast.
No one is old enough like us to give you that and be lucid enough to remember those days.
I appreciate that.
Well, when I read the Fort Detrick thing in the New York Times back in, I believe it was 1982 when I first read that, it stuck.
I had never forgotten it to this day, reading that article and where it appeared and what it said.
And I've always kept my eye on Fort Detrick and it always keeps cropping up in the conversation.
Now, and it's also interesting in context of bat versus lab, was it lab versus monkey, and we had all that going on.
What I found interesting about that clip is that they accuse the Russians of doing what the CIA invented as far as I'm concerned.
We've talked about it so many times.
Get a story in an African newspaper so the New York Times can then say, oh, by the way, look what's going on.
Here's what they say in the newspaper.
It's called the circular reporting or whatever it is.
That's a CIA tactic.
It's a CIA tactic.
Early CIA tactic.
Still used to this day.
Okay, it's the Russians.
Alright, so let's go back to 1983 and we're going to show you what really happened here.
So remember this story started with an article in the Patriot newspaper?
AIDS, the deadly mysterious disease which has caused havoc in the US, is believed to be the result of the Pentagon's experiments to develop new and dangerous biological weapons.
There's the crux of the crap.
It's time you met Kathleen Bailey and Todd Leventhal.
They were part of a US government team that first pieced this story together back in the 80s.
This is just the perfect example of a very effective disinformation campaign.
Well, almost perfect.
There are some obvious grammar mistakes here which tip off experts like Kathleen.
Like in English, we'd say flu virus, not the virus flu.
It's written by a non-native English speaker, and it probably was written by a Russian language speaker.
They said, oh, the Indian newspaper, The Patriot, which we knew.
The KGB used this as an English-language newspaper as a way to get stories out.
This was a classic Soviet tactic.
Oleg Kaluchin, another ex-KGB agent we found, he told us they'd always try and place the story in a third world country somewhere like in India, Thailand, where journalists could be easily tricked or bribed.
That gave the story acceptability when nobody was searching about the origin.
I love all these British spooks they put in this package.
And here's your kicker.
It's six seconds.
This campaign had a KGB codename.
They called it Operation Infection.
Ha ha!
Right down to the code names of the disinformation.
The problem that you have with some of these stories is the logic.
It's illogical.
And in this case, let's say the Russians did plant the information about Fort Detrick as fake.
There's two possibilities.
One, Fort Detrick actually did something.
Maybe the Russians found out about it and they thought they'd drop a little bomb in the air.
Yeah, sure, sure.
And say, hey, you guys, it's Fort Detrick.
The point, if you really trace it back to whether it's Fort Detrick or not, what is the point?
If it's not Fort Detrick, what is the point saying it is Fort Detrick?
What does it do for anybody?
Does it cause a revolution?
Does it cause people to stop paying their taxes?
What is the effect of even mentioning Fort Detrick?
Nobody cares.
Nobody cares about Fort Detrick.
What are the Russians accomplishing is what I'd like to know if they're putting this phony baloney story out there.
What's accomplished?
I can tell you what was accomplished.
I don't know if it was their intent.
Because what this accomplished, this story, is one of the predominant reasons, not spoken, but one of the predominant reasons why African Americans, so-called black Americans, do not want anything from the government.
Black Americans, really, most of them to this day believe, like you said, something's up with that, and they want nothing to do with it.
Because it was specifically black people and homosexuals.
These are like third, fourth, and fifth rails in the black community.
And to this day, that is more part of the hesitancy than the Tuskegee experiment.
I... Well, I'd like to see that proven somehow, because it seems to me the Tuskegee experiment is the real crux of the matter.
And I don't know that anybody who even found out about this Fort Detrick story got any backstory.
I didn't know that there's anything accused about trying to, except what I just said, based on what happened in the 70s and some of the other papers that came out.
I discussed the fact that, and I don't even know that homosexuals were considered in the 70s as a threat.
But they said it in the report.
If the thing is based on population, you wanted to knock the population out in Africa, homosexuals aren't an aspect or a characteristic of the population bomb.
They don't reproduce.
Who cares what they do?
So you're not trying to kill homosexuals.
Now, I wouldn't have mentioned this normally, but the reason why I know that this is true is because I did a three-hour show about it yesterday with Mo.
That's why I was so surprised.
No, I would understand you did something with Mo about it, but I don't know.
Mo is not a normal character.
He's a conspiracy theorist.
He digs into stuff very...
Much more than the average Joe, even more than I think we do.
And so he digs around and he goes so deep into things that I don't believe that the influences that he's seeing are really influences at all.
I would question the fact that the Fort Detrick connection to Africa is in the black consciousness.
I just really don't think so.
I know this Tuskegee thing is because they keep bringing it up.
But the reason...
We don't need to rehash it because, you know, I heard it from him.
The whole reason this came up is because I said, why do the so-called black Americans, why do you continue to use Tuskegee experiment?
It's old, it's stale, who gives a crap?
It's not effective as a reason.
What is the real reason?
And he came back and he said, this is one of the big things.
And I said, point blank.
So you're telling me that you can go to a majority of black Americans and you can say the AIDS probably government project?
He said, yeah.
He says over 80% have issues with that and that is not spoken of because there's a lot of other things that come into it in the black community.
You're right.
He's not a normal guy, but he is a black guy.
I would say this, that, okay, it's possible that if you went to anybody, any black guy and said AIDS government project, I could see that connection.
I just don't think they take it as far as for Dietrich.
No, no, no, no.
I don't think, no, no, no, of course not.
They don't know that anymore.
It's just urban legend.
That superficial look at it.
Yes.
Of course it's superficial.
I would say yes, I can believe that's true.
Okay, I'm not going to argue that.
I'm just arguing the details.
Okay.
Well, I've just found it interesting that, you know, 40 years later almost, we have Operation Secondary Infection.
Yeah, I find that to be peculiar.
I mean, there's CIA all over this.
This whole thing is really pathetic.
And I'm still disturbed about McCullough talking about this being a worldwide crazy phenomenon with nobody with their eyes open.
How does that even happen?
What mechanism is being controlled at the global level?
Well, I mean, I think Matthias de Smet, the professor, I think he explained it.
You know, how do you slip into a mass formation?
And it probably wasn't planned that way, but it worked out great.
Well, it did for the shareholders.
I mean, can you even plan this?
No.
I think it's serendipity.
All the groups kind of flow together, but in particular...
The medical community and the lie starting with the asymptomatic transmission.
Yes, I mean, that was the lie.
That's what face masks are based off of.
That's what this vaccine mandate is based off of.
That is what these children have been programmed with.
Luckily...
Well, luckily, I don't know if it makes any difference.
We have a pretty interesting congressman here in Texas, Chip Roy.
I don't think he's our congressman.
But he was hammering on about the lab creation and this gain-of-function research that we now know is pretty much true.
But he explained how the NIH and NIAID and Fauci are trying to kind of slip out of any blame.
The NIH had a definition of gain-of-function on its webpage, which was available as recently as October 19th, just a couple of days ago.
It has now been changed entirely.
Why would it be changed?
Why would the NIH change their gain-of-function webpages this week?
Could it be that Dr.
Fauci was caught last week in his exchange by Dr.
Rand Paul, my friend, and the senator?
Now they don't even say gain-of-function research on the website.
They took it off.
It now says EPPP research.
Now it says instead of the term gain-of-function research describes the type of research that modifies the biological agents so that it confers a new or enhanced agent.
He's doing no agenda voices.
He also sounds a little like Darren.
On limited occasions, when justified by...
You know, you're right.
It sounds like he has that big radio voice experience somewhere in his background.
You know, he's doing the voices.
He's doing the big projections.
They took it off.
It now says EPPP research.
Now it says, instead of the term gain-of-function research describes a type of research that modifies a biological agent so that it confers a new or enhanced activity to that agent, it now says, on limited occasions, when justified by compelling public health need and conducted in very high biosecurity laboratories, NIH has supported certain research that may be reasonably anticipated to create transfer or use.
Come on.
You want to know why the American people don't believe their government?
They shouldn't.
They shouldn't, Madam Speaker.
They shouldn't believe the lies that are coming out of our national health leaders that are endangering the American people, as Dr.
Fauci's lies have been doing for the better part of 18 months.
Yeah, so at least there's someone.
Wow, this guy's good.
Yeah, I like him.
He's a little bit too preacher-y sounding for, I think, a lot of the public, especially the liberals.
They don't like that guy.
They don't like those boys.
I think he's fantastic.
Yeah, and he's a young guy, relatively young guy.
Yeah, good vibe about him.
Let's stay in Congress for a moment.
Joe Rogan let something slip on his show the other day, which I may have heard about, but I couldn't recall it when I heard it.
Well, not only that, I listed off a laundry list of medications, and that's the one they focused on.
Right.
I said I took monoclonal antibodies.
I said I took prednisone.
I said I took Z-Pak.
I said I had IV infusions of NAD and of vitamins.
And I also took ivermectin.
I mean, it should be no surprise.
I had Dr.
Pierre Corey, who is one of the doctors from the frontline critical COVID care group that has been treating people, including, by the way, 200 congresspeople have been treated with ivermectin for COVID. Did you know that?
I did not know that.
Holy crap.
Google that.
Did you know that?
Yeah, I did.
Okay.
Did we report on it?
I couldn't remember.
No, we never discussed it.
Hmm.
Well, how about that?
It's one of those little factoids that's been floating around that we probably should have brought out.
Well, also...
Yeah, he knew that.
The front-line doctors talk about it.
The NIH, and we're only seeing this now, July 8th, I've added ivermectin to their Table 2E, which is characteristics of antiviral agents that are approved or under evaluation for the treatment of COVID-19.
I thought that the whole thing was for boat, and how could they even put it on here?
They even have dosage.
You go to the FDA website, there's a link to 75 studies being done, and they're different than the 65 studies that I keep talking about.
It's crazy.
At ivmmeta.com.
It's crazy.
Which the one person that JC showed that 65 studies to says, I can't believe there's so many fake studies.
It's fake.
It's fake, I tell you.
It's all fake.
No.
I have one more clip, which is just another new symptom.
Oh, okay.
Of the vaccine.
A symptom or a benefit?
A symptom.
Okay.
This is COVID and tinnitus.
They call it tinnitus.
It's tinnitus.
Tinnitus.
Well, tinnitus it is.
But first at 6, the story you'll only see right here on ABC 15.
10,000 Americans reported ringing in their ears after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.
It's called tinnitus, but federal health officials say so far it is not a side effect.
In an ABC 15 exclusive, investigator Melissa Blasius talks to tinnitus sufferers pleading for answers and treatment options.
Steve, first, there's overwhelming medical evidence that these COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective against...
Overwhelming!
There you go.
The people you're about to see say they are not anti-vaxxers nor anti-government.
They just want to be heard and helped.
It's louder than his car's stereo, and it's the sound Robert Edmonds can't get out of his head.
Yes.
Yes.
It's a constant high-pitched ring.
This federal government employee came to Phoenix seeking a specialist, hoping for belief and relief for tinnitus that he says developed after receiving his COVID-19 vaccine.
In Seattle, George Hu is kind of a COVID hero, helping create COVIDWA.com, a vaccine finder site for his entire state.
George got his shot in February.
The very next morning, I noticed I started having what felt like congestion in my ear, and then it got worse by the second day.
And the third day, I literally couldn't hear anything out of it.
A doctor prescribed steroids, and George's hearing returned, along with a ringing sound that persists to this day.
What you're going to get from me is the radical, transparent, blunt truth.
Mayo Clinic doctor Greg Poland tries to dispel myths about the COVID vaccine, but he's not willing to discount a connection between the vaccine and tinnitus.
Why?
He got it too.
Overwhelmingly safe!
10,000 tinnitus.
Tinnitus.
The doctor is the debunker.
He got the shot and he got tinnitus.
Yeah.
I sometimes have tinnitus.
I know it's pronounced tinnitus because I went to my first hearing aid fitting and I'm like, tinnitus?
No, it's tinnitus.
But she says, even my audiologist says I give up on that sometimes.
No, you can't do anything.
I have had tinnitus on and off.
Yeah.
So I have Tourette's and tinnitus sometimes.
It's like it's a terror twist.
It's a tease.
I got two T's.
Let's see.
Yes, one more for me then.
This is Truth Wants To Come Out.
As we are facing a possible twindemic, we need to ask the good doctor, Mengele, if it's okay to have a COVID shot and a flu shot on the same day, same time.
What you should do is get it as soon as you can and in the most expeditious manner.
If that means going in and getting the flu shot in one arm, the COVID shot in the other, that's perfectly fine.
There's nothing wrong with that at all.
In fact, that might make it more convenient and make it more liable, that likelihood, excuse me, more likely that you would actually...
Liable, anybody?
You know what's going on in his head when he does that.
Shit, man.
Are we going to be liable for this?
Am I going to be liable if I tell people to do this?
That might make it more convenient and make it more liable, that likelihood, excuse me, more likely.
Whoops!
So, my prediction is the following.
In the upcoming season, not this year, but 2022, maybe 2023, they will have the combined shot.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, I'm sure of that.
They'll probably jack something else in there.
They did that with the H1N1. Didn't people start to die?
People started dying from it?
Well, they only did it for a year or two, but they did it.
And the funny thing about the 8th, if you remember back, because we covered that little era where they were lined up for these shots, that was the same thing.
It was two shots, you needed two shots, but that's when the public was reluctant for two shots.
Now they're into four shots.
I mean, they're really, it's like they're testing us.
Will they put up with two shots?
Yeah, they put up with two shots pretty easily this time.
It's funny, because they didn't put up with two shots with H1N1, but they put up with two shots.
Well, let's see about three.
You think they'll put up with three shots?
I'm betting on four.
Well, Bill, I'm in for five.
I'm going to double or nothing it on five shots.
They'll put up with five shots.
I don't think they'll put up with five shots, Bill.
Oh, totally.
This hypnosis will totally get people into a quintuple shot.
And they'll feel invincible every time.
You think four shots?
You think they're going to put up with four?
Five!
They'll put up with five!
They'll put up with five!
I don't really think they're going to have to...
Somewhere along the line, they're going to have to pull the plug on these shots.
I don't know, man.
I don't know.
Six, seven, eight?
Yeah.
By the way, I want to say it again.
I said at the beginning of the show, we're less than a year out.
Yeah.
And we're already at four shots.
And we're up to four shots.
Four shots.
Are we going to get to five before January?
I don't think so, and I think these mandates are done.
There may be some bad scuffles ahead, but...
I hope you're right, but I am not confident in this prediction.
Well, we have stuff like this happening.
This is outside of the Barclays Center, where...
Fans of Kyrie Irving storming the center and shouting, let Kyrie play.
Now, these, of course, were immediately called January 6 type energy people.
Oh, yes, because all the January 6th folks are black.
Big New York Knicks fans.
And black, because this was entire black.
It was, okay, that's fine.
But then, this tops it, so now you've got some good people out there standing up, and props to Floyd Mayweather.
Kyrie, what's up?
I know you're going through a lot.
We had a chance to hang out in 2016 when you represented America, when you represented the red, white, and blue.
You only want to be treated fair.
I was going to post something on one of my social media pages, but I decided to do it the old school way and read it out to you because you're a great person, great father, a great athlete.
And you believe what you believe.
America is the land of the free.
Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and supposedly, freedom to choose.
Never be controlled by money.
I respect you for having some integrity and being your own man.
A free mind makes its own choices.
An enslaved mind follows the crowd.
Stand for something or fall for anything.
One man can lead a revolution to stand up and fight for what's right.
One choice, one word, one action can change the world.
It's crazy how people hate you for being a leader.
I hope your actions encourage many others to stand up and say enough is enough.
Respect to you, Kyrie, and power to the people.
That's powerful.
Nice.
Yeah.
I've always admired that guy in a funny way.
Yeah, but these guys make a difference, so I'm bullish on that.
Let's see.
Was there anything else?
I think we've kind of covered it.
I don't have any more questions.
The only other thing I would say, since we both got the email, if you want to learn a little bit more about how sick the pharmaceutical industry is, the entire healthcare industry, an unbelievable drama.
I've only seen episode one.
I liked it.
It's on Hulu.
It's produced by Michael Keaton, which is probably the only reason it got made at all.
It's called Dope Sick.
It's about the OxyContin crisis.
Do you have a chance to see any of that yet?
No, I'm probably not going to get to it.
It's unbelievable that this is on anything.
Because Hulu is still kind of owned by the majors, I thought, isn't it?
Yeah, as far as I know.
I think Disney owns a big piece of it.
Yeah, it's a big FU to the pharmaceuticals.
But, of course, there's really no advertising involved.
I believe most people probably pay something for Hulu not to watch the ads.
Yeah, we do.
Yeah, we do.
Pay the extra 10 bucks.
Yeah.
And it saves you 20 minutes every half hour.
22.
So your time is recovered.
What's your time worth?
Yeah.
Exactly.
Maybe the future of television.
Maybe Peacock and these guys are going to have to get a clue.
No, the ad-based streaming media, let's just call it that, is done.
People have checked out.
They cannot stand the model is broken.
And then it's like, well, do I really want to sit through these commercials to watch a bunch of dumb celebrities talk about steals and deals?
No!
No!
No, people are done.
They're checked out.
It's beautiful.
That's why we're here.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage to say in the morning to you, the man who replaced the C in infection with a K, ladies and gentlemen, Mr.
John C. Devorak.
Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
Adam Curry.
Also in the morning, our ships that see boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the war, the dames, the knights, the knights out there.
And in the morning to our trolls in the Troll Room.
You can find them and join them at trollroom.io.
It's a great little place to hang out.
It's free to join.
Go to trollroom.io and you can sit there with all the other trolls who are always hanging out during the live stream, but are there 24-7, to say something.
And it's always important.
Let's see how many we have today.
Hands up, trolls!
Let's count them.
They're scurrying away.
Look at them go, whoa!
Low, low, low, low.
1994.
That's very low.
Well, people are going back to work finally, I think.
I sure hope so.
Or they're in the middle of fighting.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And people say, oh, should I fill out this justification of my religious mandate request?
I said, I can't tell you what to do, but I wouldn't.
I'm going to go pound sand, man.
I have to prove to you what I believe in.
Blech.
Yeah, well, you can say that as an independent podcaster working from home in your basement.
Yes, that's right.
That's exactly what I'm saying.
So join us over there at trollroom.io.
We have room for more, apparently.
We've got the...
We are from the future with noagendasocial.com.
This is our federated Mastodon instance.
This is where you can follow John C. Dvorak at noagendasocial.com, Adam at noagendasocial.com from any Mastodon server.
And I'm still thinking that the...
Trump Truth Social will indeed be a version of a Federated Mastodon server.
You're hoping.
Can I mention something while we're talking about these social medias?
I need some more followers on Twitter.
The Real Dvorak.
The real Dvorak.
You're going upstream, brother.
Everyone's heading for the exit.
I don't care.
I've got to get my number passed back to 100,000.
I got kicked back about six months to a year ago by Twitter.
All of a sudden, I lost like 50,000 people.
I got jumped down to 99-something.
I'm up to 99.8-ish.
And I just need another 200 people.
All right.
Right?
I'm sure too.
I use it as a mechanism to promote this show.
That's the only thing I do on the Twitter account.
That's true.
That's true.
I never post there.
I just post a show and DH unplugged show.
When they come out, I put a link there.
That's all I'm doing.
And now it looks like a giant collection of album art.
We need to get you a troll farm.
Might be.
Yeah, I could use a troll form.
Probably not a bad idea.
Well, here's what I was going to say about this federated network.
So whether it's federated or not, I'm pretty sure of one thing.
The Trump truth social will be announced, put it in the red book, in a Super Bowl commercial.
He's going to do a Super Bowl commercial.
Ah.
Hmm.
That's a hell of a prediction.
Did you just come up with that all by your lonesome?
When I read in a report somewhere that it will be launching in January, I believe the Super Bowl is in January.
I think it's actually in February.
Then it may be February.
It holds true that it would be a Super Bowl commercial.
It's really not a bad idea.
In fact, if he didn't plan on doing that, Then he should do it.
Someone should tell him to do that.
It's a great idea.
It's a great idea.
That's Marketing 101 right there.
And he's got the $800 million SPAC to play with somehow.
It's very affordable for him.
But we'll see.
In the meantime, you know, I'm...
If it's federated, then I'm all for it.
I love Dave Rubin.
I think he's a great guy.
He started Locals.
Locals was just acquired by Rumble.
Everyone's all jacked, like, yeah, we're building alternative infrastructure.
No, you're building alternative centralized infrastructure.
You know, it's just as vulnerable to...
It has to be decentralized.
That's the only way out of this.
Because Rumble...
You know what?
The government can come in and say, oh, we need your domain name.
Yeah, we've got to stop this because something's wrong with you.
And we've seen that happen before.
Boom, your domain name is gone.
I remember that period.
It was during our show, our 15 years of doing this show.
We're on our 15th year today.
It was during that period.
Remember the FBI things?
You go to the website and there'd be a big FBI badge and a whole bunch of stuff about you can't go to this website anymore.
Remember that?
It was for guys who sold counterfeit watches.
So that's very...
And yeah, of course, there's still the app stores which will kick you out.
All of that is locking down, so we have to figure out alternative methods.
And that's what we're doing.
And part of it is this, right here.
This podcast.
And it's thanks to, clearly there's a market for it.
There's a market for it that likes it so much, it produces the whole show.
Can't beat it.
Same goes for artwork.
Man, big thanks to...
Can't beat it.
Can't beat it, man.
Big thanks...
You can't.
It's really, you can't beat it.
I mean, it's a model that is unbelievable.
And it's replicable, but people are just afraid and lazy, I guess.
What?
It makes too much sense.
That's why people don't do it.
It makes too much sense.
Yeah.
They don't believe it.
It always gets to the point, well, yeah.
But they were already famous.
They were already famous.
Yeah.
Real famous.
Real famous.
I've done a bunch of stuff that I'm just famous as I am and as famous as you are.
We've done other things that took off.
So that's bull crap.
I've done a lot of things that didn't take off.
That's what I said.
I misunderstood.
You've done a lot of stuff that never took off.
I've done stuff that's never taken off.
And there's plenty of famous people who waltz into podcasting and it never takes off.
It's got nothing to do with fame.
No, it has to do with...
It doesn't hurt, by the way.
Fame doesn't hurt.
No, but it was 14 years of building this with the producers.
That's what did it.
And that's what continues to do it.
Thank you, Capitalist Agenda, who sent a very nice note.
Very humble.
He's on two in a row.
He's very humble.
And this piece that he did with 14 years and all of the, kind of like a word cloud, but artistically done, this word cloud, That showed all the different jingles, sounds pretty good, living the mac and cheese life.
That was one of the slickest pieces in terms of modern graphic arts based on typography, which is one of the things people like to do.
It is one of the slickest pieces anyone has ever done on this show.
It was well worthy of the 14th anniversary episode, and people commented on it.
We've had this a couple times in the last few shows.
People are like, this is some great art, but this topped it all.
It's fantastic.
And it's not like a complex piece with some original drawing or anything that's really cool, which we really like a lot.
It was pure typography, and it was...
Ultimately modern.
It is just a terrific piece.
I couldn't say enough good things about it.
There were some other things we looked at.
Lots of good stuff.
You like Tantanil's goat?
Because we're always looking for something this 14th anniversary.
Love the goat.
We like the wine box, the woke box with the 14 years we felt wouldn't connect.
It's too early in the exit strategy.
By the way, in the show notes today, Mark Dont, I think you're on the email, he did two product shots.
The No Agenda Box Wine, known as Woke Wine.
Yeah, Woke Wine.
Oh, my God.
It's so beautiful, what he's done.
It's Bored, B-O-R-D, for you, and Shard for you.
I mean, this product is real.
All we need is some hooch to put in it, and we can sell it.
Well, there are a bunch of private labelers that maybe can do the job for us.
We need someone to step in, because this is big.
You know, there's an Austin box wine company that's doing upscale box wines.
Who knew?
Yeah.
Well, this is the thing you have to do.
It has to be upscale because that's the key.
The question is, do we spell wine with an H or not?
No.
Anyway, we had a lot of artists doing woke wine, which was just too early in the curve of this exit strategy.
There's a couple other things.
The book that was next to...
Capitalist Agenda.
The book that was the No Agenda Show book.
It was nice.
I used it in the newsletter because it was such a nice piece.
Did you use the one with notes on vinegar?
Yes, that's what I'm talking about.
Notes on vinegar.
It was cute.
This was cute.
If it wasn't the runner-up, it could have been.
Now, the one that we need to talk about, which is the one you bitched about, And I like that a lot, but then when you started complaining, and then of course you brought it up earlier in the show, which I'll call you out on, is the piece by Kenny Ben of the, we have experience, we are old, with an old fart shaking a cane.
Yeah.
You said, and I had to agree with you because we both do this to each other, we have these ultimatums that They're completely random, but we have them.
Well, they're random, but they want to...
They're personal.
They're personal.
When we have personal shit, it's called a veto and it's to be respected.
Well, the veto is always good.
People should know this.
This is one of those partnership agreements where you have to have a unanimous...
Everything's unanimous.
There's no...
One guy who has the extra one vote that he can make.
So everything has to be unanimous and so that includes that means you can veto.
And the vetoes we use very sparingly When the other person is so damn stubborn that they won't give in.
Won't give in.
Right.
And so we respect that.
So Adam came up with it.
And when he said it, I said, because I like this piece so much as an old man, a cartoon of an old man holding a cane.
You said, we have to stop this meme about us just being two old guys.
Yeah.
That's exactly what I said.
And I didn't, because it hurt my feelings about this art piece, which I really like.
Yeah.
And then, although it's not nearly as slick as what we picked, but it's really slick.
It's dynamite.
Mm-hmm.
I had to agree with him.
And so then I was stunned when I heard Adam earlier in today's show saying we're just two old guys.
I know.
I know.
And I recognize me saying it and I regret it.
But I didn't say we're old guys.
I said it in context of...
It was actually...
Okay.
Yeah, you're right.
I said it.
But in this case, it's experience of age...
That counts and is unique.
Just two old dudes.
It's like, you know, we're not the old guys from the Muppets.
Please don't make Muppet art with our heads on it.
It'll never get chosen.
It's never going to happen.
Don't do it.
No, it would never get chosen.
But now, any reference to old farts is verboten.
Yeah, yeah.
So that is out.
It becomes like, hey, it's a great show you should listen to.
It's two old dudes deconstruct the media.
That's not marketing, okay?
That's not appealing.
No one wants that.
It could be a subheading, but it's not the lead.
It's not going to be a subheading either.
Yeah, it's not going to help the show.
By the way, everything that comes down to veto is usually preceded by, or followed by, it's hurting the show.
That is...
That's not true.
It's hurting the show.
Yeah, you're the one that says hurting the show more than I do.
Oh, you made it up, man!
Oh, I may have started it.
Yes, of course you started the trend.
Anyway, what we do like showing is all of these pieces of art, and you can see them if you're using a modern, not an old guy's, but a modern podcast app.
You can try it out.
There's no penalty.
Your other podcast app will still be there if you still like it more.
Go to newpodcastapps.com.
Get yourself an app that has uninterruptible subscriptions.
You know, you subscribe to something, even if Apple tries to throw it off or Spotify or Google, you'll still be able to get it through your Podcasting 2.0 app.
That's the way it should be.
Decentralized.

Now, let's thank our executive producers and associate executive producers for episode 1394.
So we've got show 1400 coming up, and I don't know if you know this or not, but the number 1400 is an angel number.
Oh, I did not realize.
I've always heard about the angel numbers, and we've had some in the past, but I didn't know 1400 was a qualifier.
Go to Google or Bing or Duck, Duck, Duck, and type in angel number 1400, and you can read about it.
And angel number 1400 is a gentle reminder that you are a child of the universe.
This means that your angels and the ascended masters are highly interested in your life.
They will keep boosting your efforts, uh-huh, four times if needed, so you can achieve the desires of your heart.
That's a beautiful angel number.
Yeah, it's a winner.
Yeah.
Dynamite.
I'm hoping for a big day.
Of course you are.
You're such a whore.
I want money.
I want Twitter followers.
What else do you want?
Respect!
Yeah, I do need Twitter followers.
I'm down.
Please help me.
Meanwhile, Jess Ellis is on the list at the top of it, actually, and from Huntington Beach, California, for the $1,000 to help the show.
Nice!
And he or she, I believe it's a he, writes, Hello, fellas.
I finally succumbed to the guilt of enjoying your show as a douchebag attached as a modest donation to help keep the lights on.
I've been listening to you and Chauncey since Adam's first Rogan appearance.
Rogan donation.
And since then, you too have been a bright spot in the otherwise dark pandemic.
For my knighthood, it's a guy.
For my knighthood, I'd like to be knighted Sir Jess Ellis of the Truth Brigade and have hookers and blow at the table.
That's a staple.
Keep up the good work.
Hookers and blow is always there.
Always.
Always there, yeah.
Keep up the good work.
Stay safe.
Can I get a medley of Sharpton and some dating karma?
Yes, absolutely.
And we'll see you later on at the podium.
Thanks to you, Ed.
Is this Crown Hog Day 2?
We are watching That Was Attorney General Eric Holder, ABD, about some Republicans at Home are already beating the drums of war.
Today, the Pentagon refuted that claim.
And he said the American people do not want him to, quote, dwindling.
They do not want him dwindling his thoughts.
You've got karma.
Benjamin Loftsgarden.
He's in the U.S. $1,000.
Holy crap.
Please accept this donation tonight and dedouche my husband Ben in honor of his 46th birthday on Monday.
You've been dedouched.
Well, that's very nice.
Well, this is obviously not Ben.
This is not Ben.
No, it's not Ben.
No.
Well, you don't know who it is.
It's his spouse.
His or her spouse.
Google says a knight in Middle Ages promised to behave in a noble way, and Ben always does.
A centered, sane person in a world of mostly insane living in Austin can do a number on a person.
Oh.
But he holds us steady.
No agenda helps get fresh air in when the gaslighting fumes make me dizzy.
And Adam, thanks for the recent therapy session and gummy bears.
Oh, I know who this is.
Yes.
These are our friends who, do you remember they came over up from Austin and they were kind of freaked out about what was going on?
Yeah, you had some comment and we talked about it after the show too because it was weirder than we could express on the show.
Yeah, but I did indeed give them a little therapy session.
What does that consist of?
Gummies.
Yeah.
Gummies?
Laced?
No, not laced.
Injected.
Proper gummies.
I mean, come on, man.
I'm not just going to give people sugar.
Oh, that's so nice.
All right, Ben.
I'm looking to have you on the podium.
You've got karma.
That's cool.
Very nice.
It is very unusual.
Onward with Jessica Newberry in Galloway, Ohio.
666.66.
Happy 14th anniversary.
Please accept this sack of sixes.
And credit, we don't do enough sacks of stuff anymore.
We do not.
We don't have enough sacks.
Credit my smoking hot husband, Scott, with the executive producership.
This means this is a switcheroo.
Switcheroo has been implemented.
Yep.
We are both douchebags, so if you would please de-douche us.
Please de-douche.
You've been de-douched.
Scott's been listening since the beginning of the pandemic times and hit me in the mouth early on, but it took constantly reminding for another year before I was hooked.
Some people, if you really...
We're hypnotized.
It's not easy as saying, one, two, three, wake up, snap your fingers.
No.
Now we listen to your pod.
She knew that was not pleasant.
It's not pleasant.
No, it's not pleasant.
Prairie Home Companion style with a nice glass of French wine and our bell like Adam has.
One of these.
I guess.
Fully welcoming the shrinking of...
Can you imagine listening to the show and ringing the bell with your mate?
I'm sure people do it all the time at home.
I hope not.
I hear morning shows doing it everywhere these days.
Yeah, well they're not doing this.
That's your new bell.
That's right.
The horn is the new bell.
Take that morning show.
Adam, hi, blah, blah, blah.
Fully welcoming the shrinking of our amygdalas.
I thoroughly enjoy the variety of topics, jingles, and stories you bring.
And kick myself for not listening sooner.
The douchebag goat karma and Adam's exasperated sigh.
He said daily in our household, much of the amusement of the pets.
Wait a minute.
Am I now just fodder for dogs and cats?
Maybe.
As a Navy veteran ex-pharma industry worker and now working in logistics, I have drafted many unfinished emails on topics that have come up in previous episodes.
Knowing you read and sometimes pepper producer comments into the commentary, I will endeavor to get those to you sooner than later.
But finally, this is a pretty long note, uh, Finally, and hopefully this hasn't been too long.
No, it has.
It has.
Don't worry about it.
It's okay.
Please add Scott to your birthday list and he will be celebrating his 41st tomorrow on 1029.
Kindly request goat karma.
Get the vaccine.
No.
And stay safe.
This is funny because somebody else has almost the exact same thing they wanted.
Mm-hmm.
With the gunshot at the end.
Okay, go karma, get the vaccine, no, and stay safe.
And she says, stay safe.
Love is lit and such.
Jess, get vaccinated.
No.
Stay safe!
You've got karma.
Then we have Sir Colin, the friendly fat man, checking in from the Queen City, Cincinnati, with 433.14.
Cincinnati, Ohio.
I'm feeling the No Agenda spirit today as October 28th, 2021 is my 33rd birthday as well as a celebration of the show's anniversary.
To celebrate, I decided to give myself the greatest gift I could and make myself a baron, accounting below.
I couldn't find a No Agenda peerage map that shows the Ohio barons around Cincinnati, so I'd like to request my fellow barons in the Cincinnati area I'd be allowed to carve out Kennedy Height from whichever existing baron he claims it.
Whichever barony has the territory can meet me to discuss the next shrunken amygdala support group meeting on Saturday, November 20th at Taft's Bruporium.
In the interim, please make my title Sir Colin the Friendly Fat Man, Baron of His Own Damn Self.
And Adam, please use the Bob Dylan title change tune.
I will.
If we could have some...
Geta, Gouda, Gouda, Gouda, and Graters.
What is Gouda?
Gouda?
Well, he says it's an ice cream.
It's G-O-E-T-T-A, pronounced G-O-T-A, so Gouda, and Graters, Grater, Graters, ice cream.
Graters is an ice cream.
I know that.
I've had it.
Well, maybe, what is Gouda?
I'm unfamiliar with this product.
And Grater's Ice Cream is quite good.
Yeah, we'll have that at the round table for you.
To celebrate today, yes, I would like to recommend to the No Agenda Booklist, The Hideous Strength by C.S. Lewis.
It's a dystopian tale of how academia will sell out humanity using the media to control the narrative and stupefy the population until they can be crushed under totalitarian government.
Oh, I don't believe I've read The Hideous Strength.
Lewis put Orwell and Huxley to shame with his ability to see what was coming.
Oh man, have you read that?
Have you read that book?
No, I have not read that.
I've read very little, C.S. Lewis.
Please play Putin on the Ritz.
Donald loves Nazis.
Oh, these are classics.
Oh, and a drone again.
Oh, I didn't see that one.
And a drone again.
Okay, and then what else does he need?
And give my father, Sir Arthur, a health karma as he recovers from a case of COVID aggravated by hospital staff's complete indifference for the welfare of any unvaccinated subhuman that darkens their door.
Thanks for all you do.
Keep up the good work, Sir Colin.
Come, let's mix where John Podesta walks with kids.
Oh, I mean pizzas in his midst.
Booted on the Ritz.
Donald loves Nazis.
Donald loves Nazis.
CNN say that he's KKK. And he shouts and sing hail with it.
Wow.
The troll again.
Naturally.
You've got karma.
John Klen, K-L-E-N-E, also in Cincinnati, curiously, $400.
This is to celebrate my birthday on the 30th by finally making it to knighthood.
Please knight me, Sir John of the Southwest Ohio.
I'm a little concerned here because I don't see his, I don't see anything highlighted in color here.
Probably not listed.
Yeah, um...
You can write it down.
Uh, thanks for the years of infosainment.
No jingles, but health karma for all.
Okay, we got that.
You've got karma.
Can you just read that next one?
Yeah, thanks, thanks, thanks.
Jackie Green, our buddy up in Sacramento.
$350.
Um...
ITM, I just wanted to send a belated congratulations on 14 years of the best podcast in the universe.
Gotta get him down here sometime for dinner.
I'm on the road for a lot and No Agenda has been a staple for the band.
And while we grind out the miles between shows, thanks for keeping it real.
You guys can look him up.
He's online.
Jockey Green with an E at the end.
Pretty famous guitarist.
Yes.
And I believe doing podcasting 2.0.
Oh.
I believe.
I believe.
Could be.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, I am back and I've got Jeremy Lees from Cheyenne, Wyoming, 333.33.
I first heard about No Agenda when Adam was first on Rogan.
I've been hooked ever since.
I have hit my beautiful wife in the mouth not long after I was hooked.
We listened together on longer car rides and subsequently hit our eldest human resource, turning 12 on October 29th.
Please add Danica to the birthday list.
She's on it.
This donation of 33333 will be credited to my daughter for her future damehood.
There's a switcheroo.
Okay.
Please dedouche her.
Yes, we'll do that.
You've been dedouched.
Could you read off those jingles for me?
Because I've got to put them all in there now.
Okay, let's see what we've got here.
Because there's a lot, a lot.
Oh, no, this is...
Goat karma, biscuits for my birthday, and little girl scary Joe Biden.
You're scary, you're scary.
That's, uh, don't eat me.
Okay, and a goat karma.
They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
Don't eat me, bull giant, and you're scary, so scary.
You've got...
Matthew Wells.
Wells in Austin.
Another Austinian.
Or what do they call it?
Austinian.
Austinite.
Austinite.
Like kryptonite.
333.33.
And that's in Texas.
Today's my birthday.
Please add me to the birthday list.
Phil Kuzminovsky is still a douchebag.
Okay, hold on.
Douchebag!
Please call him out as such.
Jingle request.
Biden, whole load.
Kamala, don't come.
Trump, I'm gonna come.
Two to the head.
Hey, by the way, Okay, no comment.
Two to the head and China is asshole.
Probably one too many jingles, but it's still going to be.
Wait, and where does China is asshole got to do with the lewd commentary you have within these jingle structure?
I think it's just gratuitous, and I think it's an outrage.
Yeah, it is.
I'm going to give you the whole load today.
Do not come.
I'm going to come.
Oh.
And then the last one misfired.
Oh man, it was doomed to begin with.
Chinese asshole!
There we go.
And a jobs car.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
Seven jingles.
Seven jingles.
Sir Cal's next for 33333, and he says, Happy 14th, my friend.
Many more to come.
Sir Cal is wishing us a happy anniversary.
Lavenderblossoms.org, Sir Cal.
Yes, Lavenderblossoms.org.
Happy 14th from Westminster, says Daniel DeGroff, Sir Fusenoth.
And it's Westminster.
Yes, I got that.
Sir Fusenoth.
That's it.
That's short and sweet.
We love it.
I'll take on Colin Preston.
33314.
Well, we had the whole argument whether it was Colin or Colin, didn't we now?
Yeah, and it was Colin.
Okay.
Colin Preston.
Oregon City.
If you need some stainless steel wine tanks, give me a shout.
I'd love to chip in and be part of the No Agenda Woke Wine Business.
Oh, he's a tank master.
Yes.
PracticalFusion.com.
We're getting there, John.
We've got the box designer.
We've got the tank dude.
We've got everything but the wine.
We need some hooch.
We just need the hooch, people.
He says, congratulations on 14 years.
Yeah, this is coming together.
Why don't you go look to his practicalfusion.com while I read the next note from Bert.
Bert Comfort, 333.
He writes, and in the morning, Adam and John, my future night and I continue...
Wait a minute.
Ben, my future night and I continue to listen to the best podcasts in the universe on the deck every day in our offshore days.
We listen to episodes in sequence.
The relevance to what was discussed and then what is occurring now is amazing.
You were spot on then and continue to be during these current trying times.
Yeah, I'm not going to argue the point.
Thank you for your insights and courage while deconstructing the news media.
In order to keep John C. happy, I will keep this note short.
It's already too long.
This is the last installment for the knighthood of my actual dude named Ben.
Please provide the usual hookers and blow at the table, of course, as well as lobster, king crab legs, oysters, a fine Bordeaux selected by John C., As, okay, I have to tell you what it is.
I'm done reading the note.
Because you want a whiteboard open.
Oh, my goodness.
This is shocking.
Yeah, you want a Domaine de Chevalier Blanc.
Selected by John C. as well as a cigar for Sir Benny of the Country Gentleman.
We both look forward to future episodes of the Best Podcast Universe Becoming Baron and Baroness.
In support of the Value for Value No Agenda show production on a personal basis, I want to thank you for the bottoms up on the toilet paper shortage.
Thank you and Costco.
Please select one of the Reverend Al's finest...
The gift that keeps on giving and give everyone some goat karma.
And that's Dame Swanee.
Dame Swanee from Indianapolis sent that.
It's Dame Swanee.
Okay, that's what it was.
That's so nice.
So I wrote down Demande Sauvignon Blanc.
Domaine de Chevalier.
Domaine de Chevalier.
So what does the horse have to do with it?
And it's not Sauvignon Blanc, it's Blanc.
Oh, I thought you said, so Domaine de Chevalier Blanc.
Yeah, it's got Sauvignon Blanc in it, but I think there's some...
I just want to order the right thing.
What year?
What year?
Oh, that's a good question.
I would say, since that wine actually, for a white wine, actually needs age.
I'll say 2016.
Let's say, no, say at 2000.
I'm breaking the bank over here at the round table.
Shit, man, I'm at 2000.
Yes, thank you very much, and how sweet of you to do that for your husband.
R-E-S-P-I-C-T You've got karma.
So is that now two or three wives, or spouses I should say, who have brought their spouses to the round table today?
Yeah.
This is good stuff.
Good stuff.
Sir Roland, ref of the Frozen Sheet from Lincoln, Nebraska.
333 in honor of my 61st birthday on Friday, October 29th.
My recent retirement from Big Pharma and the 14th year of the No Agenda show.
I could not resist donating a meaningful amount.
Thus, 333.
I wanted to send blankets, but I just sent cash.
Great job, as always.
Brad Jaszewski is still a douchebag.
Douchebag!
Only your retirement karma is requested.
Thank you, Sir Roland, ref of the frozen sheet, and we thank you as well, sir.
You've got karma.
And we got you on the birthday list, for sure.
Josh, Josh, Josh Springer in Indianapolis, Indiana, 333, and he writes in, Donation note emailed to, oh no, John and Adam.
Subject donation, no.
I don't have it either.
I don't have it either.
You didn't get it?
I didn't get it.
Neither one of us got it.
A lot of these guys, I'll tell you what happens a lot of the times, because I've noticed this, because you get it in the other notes.
A lot of people are putting these donations into their phone instead of doing it on the computer.
That way you can't get a long note.
You can't do jack if you're doing it on the phone.
But they do it on the phone.
We don't want to discourage it.
No barriers to entry.
So they do it on the phone and they write with their thumbs.
They type out something like this.
And then when they get home, they forget about it.
They never send us a note.
Yeah, I think you're right.
I think that does happen.
I think you're right there.
And then they send us a note, it has to be a make good, and then Eric bitches because it's all this extra work.
And what are you going to do?
What are you going to do?
We're going to give him a karma is what we're going to do.
What are you going to do?
Karma.
I got Bob Stanhope here from Grand Forks, B.C., Scandinavia, 300...
Good morning from Grand Forks, BC, Canada, Scandinavia.
A quick note to say thanks on the illustrious occasion that is show 1400.
Oh, he's moving forward.
He's ahead of the game.
I was hit in the mouth two years ago by my sister-in-law of all people.
No, by my sin-in-law of all people.
Sin-in-law?
Fine fella.
I was hit in the mouth to you by my sin-in-law, of all people.
Fine fella.
Okay.
Third time's a charm in my eldest daughter's case, though.
Bah!
I've been spreading the word since.
Anyways, before I digress and piss John off, allow me to say thank you.
Good to know our family and some friends, including several nurses and doctors, see behind the curtain.
I wish I could say the same of many educated, intelligent people who think that we're flat earthers because we don't buy the narrative.
I happen to also be a flat earther, I'm sorry to say.
Our donation of $300 Scandinavian smackaroos represents two times 140 donations from my wife and a little extra to round things up to an even $300 on the Grand Kitty's behalf.
A de-douching, if you please.
You've been de-douched.
And a request for the marching pigs in human clothing.
Stay sane.
Bob Stanhope, a bike guy in the boundary.
And we appreciate that.
that and of course we honor the kandinavian and australian uh dollary dues for face value you've got karma .
.
you And that was Alexandria Caccio-Cortez.
Yeah, kind of.
Rene Tabak.
Ah.
Rene Tabak.
Tabak.
Oh, Tabak.
You're right, Tabak.
Rene Tabak.
As in tobacco.
Mm-hmm.
Signage on most French bistros.
250 bucks in Mepple.
Mepple.
Today's donation makes me a knight.
When available, sir, smash off the lone wolves.
When available, Spur Smash, Off the Lone Wolves.
I think it's available.
I think that's available.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's available.
That's to celebrate that I'm a single for five years and never had a fight.
Keep doing what you both do and the producers are doing and health karma for all.
Jingle, Rubbleizer out.
P.S. for the round table, please.
Calvados and Peppernuts.
You got it.
I think he means Peppernosa, but Peppernuts will do.
Peppernosa.
Okay.
And Rene Tebuk is a very famous name in the Netherlands.
I wonder if it is the guy who owns the hotel.
It's possible.
Mike, stand by.
33, 33, 33.
Globalizer, out.
You've got karma.
Well, we can get some comps and rooms, huh?
Maybe.
Maybe.
I'm in.
Brian Meeks from Tinley Park, Illinois, 250.
Associate Executive Producership for Brian.
Hello.
I started listening 14 months ago when Adam went on Rogan the first time.
I've tried to catch every episode since.
Your show has helped me stay sane in an insane world.
You are not alone.
Find a meetup, Brian.
You will enjoy it.
Then we have John Mudge from Denver, $200.
Love your show because it helps me discern the truth from the BS. Yes, we think we do reasonably well with that.
Then we have Anonymous.
Do you have this note?
I do.
Anonymous comes in and this confused me a little bit when I first saw it.
It's a handwritten note, very poorly transcribed.
It's $200, and please do not use our real names.
But then he keeps putting in this name, which then I realize is not the real names, because he says anonymous at the end.
D. Ruby Mauve.
Jingles, get vaccinated.
This is good, because it's handwritten.
No, it puts the jingles at the beginning.
Get vaccinated.
No.
You will obey.
And two to the head.
Now, that's the story.
That's telling the story, everybody.
Yes.
This donation is from my wife of 15 years.
Her name is D. Ruby Mob.
And she's smoking hot.
We've never had a fight that she didn't win.
That's how it usually goes, yes?
She is the tops.
She can outwork, outsmart, and out-awesome every other wife out there.
Oh.
Her amazing career and outlook on life is what has given us our 33-acre home in the woods and our ability to homeschool our two wonderful children.
Please dedouche her.
Sounds like she deserves it.
You've been dedouched.
This is my gift to her on her birthday on October 27th.
We'll skip your pagan karma.
Ha!
By the way, a lot of people believe that...
I've never heard this!
I've known about it.
I've known about it.
A lot of people believe it's pagan.
A lot of evangelists that listen to the show, there's a lot of them.
They never want the karma because they think it's pagan.
Oh, okay.
So it's fine.
We didn't even dream it up.
I mean, all this stuff comes from the producers.
I mean, we have started wearing the horn masks and stuff, but, you know, that's just for parties.
Well, that's in tribute to the guy who broke into the Capitol.
Yeah.
The shaman.
Exactly.
And ask for your Catholic producers to say an Ave Maria for Dr.
Ruby...
I'm sorry, not Dr.
For D. Ruby Mauve.
Keep up the good work, gents.
Anonymous.
Thank you.
Get vaccinated.
No.
You will obey.
You've got karma.
There's a story.
That one worked.
And that's all of our associate executive producers and executive producers for show 1397, 93, 94, 1394.
Eventually hone in on it.
Yeah, you'll get there.
Eventually you'll have the right one.
I want to thank everybody who did this and kept the show afloat and prosperous.
Thank you.
These credits are real.
You can use them anywhere credits are accepted.
And that includes IMDB. Go ahead and take a look.
No Agenda Show.
You'll see that there are real producers who tout these real credits.
Rock bands.
Weezer.
Patrick from Weezer, the drummer.
He touts his executive producership of the No Agenda Show in interviews.
Because he's proud of it.
Yeah, he does.
He's done it.
And so should you.
And these people are, of course, and these titles are real.
We could put a nice band together.
As if any of them would work for free.
I can't wait.
I can't wait for my Theravon.
Finally, finally, success!
We'll thank more of our producers in the second half, and we really appreciate anyone who wants to step up and produce the show.
These executive producers and associate executive producers are being honored today, and we thank you so much.
If you'd like to do it, too, go ahead, go to...
As always, thanks for your time, your talent, your treasure.
Bringing it for $13.94!
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Water!
Water!
Shut up!
Now, the whole reason that we got on this woke wine exit strategy was because of some reports of glass shortages, which would also affect the wine industry.
And you rightfully said, you know, what's wrong with these people?
Put it in a regular bottle.
And we came up with the idea of box wine, which I think is still in play.
But I did receive two other notes about bottle and glass shortages, just to share, as the weirdest things are becoming unavailable during whatever post-pandemic crunch we're witnessing.
I work at a privately owned liquor store in East Tennessee.
I can report that bottle shortages are hitting more than just the wine market.
Since the start of the scandemic, imported products, especially from EU nations, have been scarce due to lockdowns.
Hennessy and many Irish whiskeys, for example.
However, in the past two months, a new phenomenon is occurring.
Even whiskeys made locally have been increasingly hard to come by in Tennessee, Kentucky.
Jack Daniels has halted all production of many of their flagship products, including Gentleman Jack and certain sizes of regular Jack.
Jim Beam has stopped producing certain flavors and for the first time are bottling their half gallons in plastic.
Oh!
I could go on and on with examples.
The only explanation I've gotten from distributors is that the factories where the bottles are made have a policy that if one employee tests positive, the entire bottle production of that factory is shut down for two weeks.
Yeah, that would do it.
Oh my god, no wonder.
Yeah, that would do it.
Our liquor store shelves have been half empty lately.
The only section that is fully stocked is moonshine because those are all bottled in mason jars.
Okay?
Yeah, true.
And then I got this...
This is a report from July 19th.
Glass manufacturers worldwide tended to slow their production volumes as the coronavirus pandemic hit.
Unfortunately, getting these enormous production plants back to full volume is not an easy job.
And the headline of this is Global Glass Shortage Crisis Set to Continue Well Through 2021.
And I guess what happened is very similar to some of the noise that we heard about ships where, oh, we're getting them all liquid natural gas ready.
We took some time during the lockdown and we're going to convert the ships.
Well, it turns out that many of the glass melting furnaces went into cold repair.
Which can take anywhere between 15 and 20 weeks.
I want you to shut those things down.
I used to inspect the glass.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you.
I love it.
Please tell us about it.
We had two glass plants in the Bay Area.
I don't think either one of them are operating anymore.
One was a boutique operation, smaller, and then there was a giant corning operation, which is a big glass plant.
And you can, you go in there, it's the damnedest thing you've ever been to.
I mean, it's like hell.
And then I got to go to the underneath, like the basement where all the gobs of glass fall and start to accumulate.
Yeah.
And it's the damnedest.
It's really a fascinating place to be.
And I don't know why they shut them down, but they did.
Well, they were doing it for maintenance.
It was the cold storage maintenance.
No, no, they shut these down permanently.
There's Bay Area air pollution or there's pollution or they were charged too much taxes.
They moved out of California.
Oh, okay.
So I think they're both shut down.
I could be wrong.
But I've never noticed that they're operating.
Anyway, they're on the freeway.
So anyway, you could tell that if you shut these things down, you're down for a long time.
There's just too much molten glass everywhere.
I can't even imagine shutting one of them down.
Yeah, so that's another reason that glass is going to be in short supply.
Then we were talking about paint, particularly the color blue.
And one of our producers says, oh, look at this.
The most popular phone color predicted for the coming season?
Blue.
Which means color blue for phones themselves, but also phone cases, will be somewhat hard to get, supposedly.
Yeah, I'm skeptical.
Well, we did get a note from Tomonymous...
I think I can shed some light on the paint shortage that's been going on.
We heard this too.
I have my own residential painting company now for close to eight years.
Multiple things have been contributing to massive shortages of product for over half a year now.
First, the Texas ice storm that destroyed three main factories that produced additives for paint.
I didn't know that.
All major paint suppliers used components coming out of those three factories.
Bayer, Sherwin, Ben Moore, and others.
Then, trade and supply issues with China slowed production down to low amounts of components such as titanium dioxide powder.
I guess that's important for paint colors.
It's white.
White, white, white.
Well, now, just in the past two months, there's been a major manufacturing supply chain issue with Colombia.
And he says, out of all countries in the world, including China, Colombia manufactures and supplies the greatest amount of material for paint production.
Who knew?
Wow.
What you learn on the No Agenda show.
Oh, wait.
He has a tip for us, too.
Because of problems with Columbia manufacturing, there's a huge shortage of black tint, which is a color base that goes into making large amounts of colors.
This makes sense that blue paint might be having issues.
Black tint isn't actually pure black.
It's a very dark blue.
Uh-huh.
Anyway, all of these factors are contributing to skyrocketing paint prices and empty shelves at your paint store.
And here it comes.
To the No Agenda family about to tackle large painting projects, don't!
No, that's not what he says.
Your best bet is to get the material you need and get it consistently would probably be Lowe's.
Sherwin-Williams manufactures the vast...
This is a great tip.
Sherwin...
Very famous paint shop.
Sherwin-Williams manufactures the vast majority of Lowe's paint, and they have to meet a quota to avoid paying a huge fee.
I've been told by Sherwin reps that 60% to 7% of Sherwin resources are going into supplying Lowe's.
So your best bet is Lowe's, then Home Depot, and your local Benjamin Moore supplier.
Sherwin stores will be hit the hardest.
I hope this gives some insight into what's been going on.
That's interesting because we're a Sherwin-Williams family.
So we just bought some Sherwin-Williams as well, and they definitely were talking about stuff they could not get, like eggshell.
Eggshell, no more.
And that's some element or something that they couldn't get.
I love those notes.
That's a great boots-on-the-ground report with a tip.
Yeah, nobody, this is like the, it's like people should know that the Costco French vodka that comes in 1.75 liters in a beautiful crystal bottle.
It's not really crystal, but it looks like it.
That is Grey Goose.
Oh, really?
Huh.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, it's Grey Goose.
So you get for 25 bucks, 1.75 liters you get what Grey Goose sells for like 35.
Yeah, a hell of a lot more.
I think it's even more than that.
It's very expensive.
Grey Goose is a French vodka.
For the United States, we have the holiday season coming up.
There's going to be no toys.
There's going to be no Christmas.
It's all canceled.
Even Thanksgiving, which is our big day.
And what's expected to be the most expensive Thanksgiving ever is just weeks away.
Prices of everything at a traditional meal are higher this year due to inflation, supply chain problems, and other factors.
Analysts say the price of turkey will likely also hit a record.
Oh, yeah.
Transitory, people.
Just transitory.
Sorry?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So it's about, and it's going to get a hell of a lot worse.
It's gouging.
Yeah, of course it's gouging.
And we never got the excuse to jack up your prices.
You do it.
And never let a crisis go to waste.
Let's throw some more on top.
A potential new problem to worry about when it comes to the supply chain crisis wreaking havoc on the U.S. economy.
Russian hackers are now accused of trying to compromise the global technology supply chain.
Microsoft says Russian hackers are taking aim at technology companies that provide cloud services.
It's reportedly the same group behind last year's cyber attack that infiltrated 10 U.S. government agencies.
Microsoft says the hackers have attacked 140 technology service providers since May, compromising more than a dozen of them.
You know, this Microsoft announcement is really lame.
It's like all they're saying is, spend more money on us.
More money, more money.
More government money.
We can secure the country.
Did you see that, this Nadella?
I dislike Microsoft.
Yeah.
Yeah, me too.
I don't like how they're doing this.
And then, you know, the whole military-industrial complex, everybody is all...
Do you have any supply chain?
Because I'll move off of that if you're...
Yeah, I just said I had a supply chain.
I'm sorry, what you got?
The supply chain.
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
New vehicle inventory hit record lows in the quarter, but General Motors Chief Financial Officer Paul Jacobson says his company expects production volume to improve slightly in the months ahead.
That being said, when we look at Q4 volumes, they look more like what we kind of saw volumes in the second quarter, but we have significant sort of additional cost pressures that we've seen.
Jacobson says one factor is inflated material prices as the auto industry deals with shipping delays and parts shortages.
Ford Motor Company echoed those concerns, saying supply chain problems could linger until 2023.
So 2023 is when it's going to break.
That means all of next year.
Yeah.
That means everyone pretty much, their purchasing power, unless you get a raise, goes down by 10% more.
Probably, yeah, between 5% and 10%.
And that means the wages that are supposedly going up because of Biden and his good union jobs are actually going down.
Are you including increased gasoline in that 5% to 10%?
Well, gasoline is never really put in a calculation because it varies so much.
But, yeah, gasoline is out of control, especially here it's $5.
Yeah.
Five bucks.
Yeah.
And this is all because of Biden?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's all because of him.
Damn it.
I have my two short Biden clips where he's mumbling or saying something stupid.
So here's the Biden mumble bill.
This is pushing his bill.
And we can breathe.
Look, we haven't passed the transformative infrastructure bill for a decade.
Think about this.
So we haven't passed the bill he wants to pass for a decade.
Isn't that interesting?
Yeah.
Now, here, I want to tell you, tell me if I'm wrong here, but instead of saying about, Biden says a blout.
Okay.
About believing in America.
About believing in American people.
It's that same problem he has.
It's that problem that he misplaces a letter, or we've heard Psaki do it too, remember?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's this weird affliction that, and maybe it's something that one of our medical professionals may be able to say, is this something that happens typically with dementia or something of that?
It's a very specific pattern that he's mixing up mainly L's and P's, and it comes out as a whole new word.
Which is cute if you're three.
But not really.
Not really.
Well, there's...
Yes.
No, go ahead.
Well, I have two clips.
One of them is extremely long, but very entertaining.
Okay.
Let's do that now.
That's what this show is about.
Extremely long, but very entertaining.
And it violates every rule that I... When I do clips, I keep all the clips under two minutes.
I try to keep them under one minute.
If possible, I do like the Biden clip, four seconds.
But...
This is three minutes and a half.
And this is Ted Cruz.
And this is, by the way, the second part of the clip.
The whole thing.
Ted Cruz had this Beekerman guy from TikTok in front of the Senate.
And he's trying to ask him a simple question about the Chinese collecting data, specifically about facial recognition so they can recognize every human face that's ever been on TikTok and identify the person so the Chinese have this giant database they're putting together.
And he's trying to Get this guy to say that TikTok gives up this data.
Why are they collecting it in the first place?
And why do they give it up to the Chinese subsidiaries of the same giant company?
Is Beckham the CEO of TikTok?
He's the CEO. Yeah, the American CEO. And so the guy won't answer the question.
And to listen to Cruz suffer, trying to get this guy to answer the question, and to listen to this guy skirt, It's like wow!
So I'll point out it took three questions to get you to answer about your parent.
You finally answered yes, that you can share all your information with your parent company based in Beijing.
I've asked you three times about this sister company that is obviously another affiliate.
You've refused three times.
That may be revealing, often as Sherlock Holmes observed about the dogs that do not bark, it may be revealing that the Chinese propaganda minister that is serving on your sister company and who's been in the business of online propaganda, you're refusing to answer whether they fall under your privacy policy.
That reveals, I think, a great deal, unfortunately.
Senator, with all due respect, I'm just trying to be accurate here.
There's a lot of accusations that are just not true, and I want to make sure that it's clear.
Okay, I'm going to give you one more chance, and my time is over.
But look, in baseball, three strikes, you're out.
Tonight, the Astros are going to begin winning the World Series.
Let's see if a fourth strike, you can actually answer the question.
It's a simple yes-no.
Is Beijing ByteDance Technology a, quote, other affiliate of our corporate group, as your privacy policy defines that term?
Senator, as I pointed out before, my answer is the same.
Yes or no?
You didn't answer.
Senator, I appreciate your trying with gotcha questions.
It's not a gotcha question.
I'm asking about your policy.
I'm just trying to be truthful and accurate about the connection between...
Are you willing to answer this question, yes or no?
Senator, I answered the question.
You have not answered the question.
Is it another affiliate?
Yes or no?
Senator, I stated a number of times that that entity is a domestic entity within China for licenses there.
And apples are red.
You stated something that is not the question I asked.
Is it another affiliate as defined under your privacy policy?
Yes or no?
Senator, I answered.
You're here under oath.
Are you going to answer the questions?
I answered the question.
Or were you instructed not to answer this question?
No, Senator.
So you're just not refusing to answer it because you don't want to?
Senator, it is not affiliated with TikTok.
That's your question.
That is the answer.
So your answer, I want to be clear because you're under oath.
Your answer is that Beijing ByteDance technology is not...
A quote, other affiliate of our corporate group, as your privacy policy uses that term.
This is a legal question with consequence.
Senator, I understand the question.
As I pointed out, TikTok is not available in China.
That is an entity that is for purposes of a license of a business in China that is not affiliated with TikTok.
So for the record, you're refusing to answer the question.
I believe I answered your question, Senator.
Yes or no.
Tell me which one it is.
Just give me one word, yes or no.
Senator, I answered the question.
You're not willing to say yes or no?
It was not a yes or no question.
I want to be precise.
Is this company another affiliate defining your privacy policy?
That is binary.
There's not a maybe.
It's yes or no.
Senator, the way I answered it, I'm not aware of that.
That is the answer to the question.
Okay, so you're refusing to answer the question.
That does not give this committee any confidence.
That TikTok is doing anything other than participating in Chinese propaganda and espionage on American children.
Senator, that's not accurate, and again, I would point you to...
If it were not accurate, you would answer the questions, and you have dodged the questions more than any witness I have seen in my nine years serving in the Senate.
That is saying something, because witnesses often try to dodge questions...
But you answer non-sequiturs and refuse to answer very simple questions.
That, in my experience, when a witness does that, it is because they are hiding something.
Senator Moran.
I really like the, this is a legal question with consequence.
I've got to be using that myself.
I'm going to use it on you, John.
This is a legal question with consequence.
What does that even mean?
Me and I already answered the question.
Yes.
Well, so while Senator Ted Cruz...
My favorite line is, it's not a yes or no question.
It's not a yes or no question.
While Senator Cruz is berating this guy not getting any answers in his very backyard, Delta Airlines, that has multiple hubs in Texas...
Amid a sea of planes and passengers, a new technology slowly coming to an airport near you that may seem straight out of the sci-fi movie Minority Report...
John Anderson, you can use a Guinness right about now.
Where an iris scan sends personalized advertising to Tom Cruise.
Now, Delta Airlines and the TSA will start using facial recognition to speed passengers from the curb to the plane.
For those who opt in, no more scanning your paper ticket or mobile boarding pass.
All you'll need is your face.
Passengers will check in using the phone app with their passport photo on file.
Once here, no need to show your driver's license to an agent.
Simply walk up to the kiosk, drop your mask.
The camera then compares your face with the photo on file and spits out your bag tag.
Put the tag on the bag and off it goes.
To join the program, you must be a Delta SkyMiles customer and have TSA pre-check.
Then just upload your passport.
Your face alone is good enough for the security check.
Biometrics allow us a degree of accuracy beyond what a manual verification process can provide.
So our officers right now who are using these manual processes can be redirected to resolving anomalies or errors or other functions because we're automating this process.
Others have privacy concerns.
At what point is it starting to scan you?
When does it stop?
What all is it looking for?
Then how is that data being used after the fact as well?
But in a world where we use facial recognition to unlock our phones, Delta believes this is the future.
You see, that's the trick there.
In a world where we're perfectly comfortable with using our iPhone to open our phone, I don't know, I don't, I'm pretty sure you don't, No, I never do.
I would never do that, even though I think Apple's technology is pretty secure.
No.
And this is now integrated with your passport, with your ticket, because I'm too stupid to hold on to a ticket.
And you know what's next, don't you?
It's going to be your vaccine passport and your booster addendum.
This is a very, very...
Your finances, your FICA score.
Yeah, whatever.
We'll put it all in there.
And the tech business is still under fire.
It's interesting to watch now the European Union.
At least they're doing something.
Oh yeah, Margarete Verstiger!
She's a hard-ass, the antitrust...
The European Competition Commissioner, Margarita Fristega, she told Deutsche Welle that now is the time to act against Facebook.
They're weak.
She didn't say that, but you know that's what she's thinking.
Nah.
All right, now that they're under attack over there in America, let's go after them now here in Europe.
Beautiful.
Yeah.
There's another...
And that's a scheme by Google as far as I'm concerned.
Well, it's interesting because Google is also under attack, but it's not being reported.
There's a new antitrust complaint.
A new one.
And this is about AMP. Is this in Europe?
No, this is in the U.S. Well, they've done a good job of covering that up because I didn't know about it.
I didn't know about it either.
Daring Fireball reported on it.
It's a 173-page filing.
And what it comes down to is, you know, AMP. It was this system that Google set up that would allow high compression of websites, in particular to improve ad loads.
But as it turns out, I'm going to read here, the speed benefits Google marketed were also at least partly a result of Google's throttling.
Google throttles the load time of non-AMP ads by giving them artificial one-second delays in order to give Google AMP a, quote, nice comparative boost.
Throttling non-AMP ads slows down the header bidding.
If anyone is in the online ad business, they'll know what that is.
It slows down the header bidding, which Google then uses to denigrate header bidding for being too slow.
Header bidding can often increase latency of web pages, create security flaws, blah, blah, blah.
That's just, oh, we have to get rid of this stuff.
So, again, that's part of how they are gaming the auction system.
And I guess we kind of knew this, but now in this complaint, Google was using deceptive practices...
By logging people, if you were logged into any of Google's servers, like Gmail, or even YouTube, and then you open up the Chrome browser, Google was automatically signing you into the Chrome browser, where they have complete reign over everything you're doing on the web.
But they were doing it covertly, without telling people, oh, now you're logged into Chrome.
They were just logging them into Chrome if you were logged into a Google product.
Now, the fact that you hadn't heard about this either is bad.
It's bad.
No one knows about this.
Yeah, that means they're controlling the message.
Yeah, gee, you gotta wonder if the guys who control the news flow, if they could be controlling the news flow about them, hmm?
Yeah, that is not good.
And then, finally, Zuckerberg, I think this is just beautiful.
Now, they had reasonable quarterly results.
The stock was under pressure.
I think it bounced back up a little bit.
I don't know.
I don't really care.
But Zuckerberg has been under pressure, and it's so glorious to see how he saved the world by he and his wife giving almost half a billion dollars to local election offices so they could have lots more money.
And mail-in ballots and lots more stuff that behooves the Democrat Party.
I know.
This is the great irony of the whole thing.
And now you can hear it in his voice.
This is the quarterly call.
A report that includes some pieces of his quarterly call.
And he's irked.
It's like, wait a minute.
I gave these money.
I helped them win and now they're screwing me.
This morning, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg defiant amid a new round of blistering criticism aimed at the company.
The reality is these questions are not primarily about our business.
ABC News has now reviewed internal documents leaked by a former Facebook manager.
The documents show Facebook struggled to contain messages that included misinformation and calls for violence during January's attack on the U.S. Capitol.
And executives reportedly ignored or downplayed concerns from Facebook employees about misinformation and other harmful content.
Zuckerberg responded to those claims during a call Monday with investors.
My view is that what we're seeing is a coordinated effort to selectively use leaked documents to paint a false picture of our company.
The reality is that we have an open culture where we encourage discussion and research about our work so we can make progress on many complex issues that are not specific to just I can hear he's very annoyed.
Oh, he's got to be beside himself.
I love it.
Thanks for the help, boys.
Yeah, that's so good.
Well, it serves him right, throwing away $400 million on Democrats.
Yeah.
Well, he didn't throw it away.
It was very effective.
Yeah.
It was one of these deals.
Hey, he's probably never going to give us any money again.
We can go after him.
It's the old thing about, you know, I always used to tell writers, I've told this story on the show before, where you go over there and take a junket.
Go take the junket.
And then write what you want, because they're never going to invite you back anywhere.
Yeah.
You're right.
A little climate change?
You got anything for climate?
I thought I did.
We got the big COP26 coming up.
Yeah, the big COP26 is coming up.
Did I have a COP26 story?
You're off mic, man.
You're gone now.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Yeah, I'm reading from my list.
Sorry.
I don't see a COP26. No, I think I wrote about COP26 in the newsletter and I didn't get any clips.
Okay, I have a couple things here.
First of all, I've noticed something mainly in Europe as the Netherlands is also, oh my god, they got a big Corona press conference coming up Monday or Tuesday because now it seems like you've been able to get around with the passport, the Corona Pass.
And you can either show vaccination status or negative test.
And now it looks like, oh, it's not fair.
We have to take away the negative test option.
But along with that come more powers.
And I'm hearing very specifically in Europe, but it also seems to be spreading in the U.S., the concept of local lockdowns.
Local.
So, you know, like maybe just Southeast Austin or maybe the East Bay.
And these would be, you know, like regional or county.
And it could be used in a number of ways, I think.
I'm just identifying this trend that officials are talking more about local, localized or local.
So we'll have to see.
What's coming into view very slowly, well, not even that slowly, I guess, is the plan with the infrastructure bill, with the incessant complaining about our grid, the grid, particularly the Texas grid, those stupid dumb fucks in the South.
They can't keep a grid running.
And it all has to be DC, and it's all got to be electric, and we have to get rid of all the stanky cars.
And their plan, man, this blew me away.
Okay, the big news on Wall Street.
Tesla topped $1 trillion in market value today.
Its stock jumped nearly 13% after the rental car company Hertz said it is buying a record 100,000 electric cars by the end of next year.
The deal comes more than a year after Hertz filed for bankruptcy at the height of the COVID pandemic.
So they're really pushing the electric vehicles.
Which, you know, it's like they're making gas unaffordable.
What was I reading?
There's a new activist investor that bought a half a billion dollar stake in Shell and now is, you know, that's what an activist does, is now demanding it split in two so we can have the renewable side of the house versus the dirty-ass, nasty, stanky side of the house.
Oh, yeah.
And in California, people who already have the Tesla are all jacked.
We warned about this before, but now it's happening.
Everyone who was all in on the messaging, and they got themselves some solar panels.
They got themselves the whole kit.
And now, people are finding out.
Here's a story.
It was in the...
What was this in?
This was in the...
Oh, in the New York Times.
It must be true.
Seven months after workers finished installing solar panels atop the Garcia family home near Stanford University, the system is little more than a roof ornament.
The problem, the local utility's equipment is so overloaded, there's no place for the electricity produced by the panels to go.
Yes!
We actually, this was over a year ago this began.
I think we may have covered it.
Yeah, we covered it recently.
But I know it started some time ago, recently maybe, which a year ago would be.
But yes, PG&E and the whole guys, they're sick of this.
They're not coming out and hooking your solar panels to the reverse meter or anything.
You can hook up to your house.
You can hook up to a Generac battery.
You have to keep it to yourself now.
You can't sell it to the grid like the promise was.
You can promise.
They used to promise.
Oh, you can sell it to the grid.
You'll make money on the solar panels.
Yeah.
And of course these people, $30,000 in, they're noticing that, wait a minute, I can't even charge my Tesla with this setup.
No, you can't.
You're going to need another $10,000 to $15,000 to be able to do that.
Yeah, it's fantastic.
Good scam.
Well done, well done, well done.
Now, China, we've been following the Australian coal story.
There was an update after we, you know, first it was...
They're not doing it, then they are doing it, and you had a clip where they said it's rolling, they're taking Australian coal again.
This was Monday on CNBC, a China analyst from Wood Mackenzie.
We've had news that China has started to clear some Australian coal that had been delivered over the last year.
And has been sitting in port stockpiles that hadn't been cleared through customs so that it was actually available into the domestic market.
And we understand that China has started to clear that coal, thermal coal and coking coal.
But there's no signs of any easing on the ban on the purchase of new cargos.
And the political situation hasn't improved at all.
This is largely a political issue, not an economic one.
And Yeah, no signs of any easing on the ban on new cargoes, so I would be a bit surprised, but given the situation that China's in with astronomical coal prices, it would make practical sense for them to do so.
So, apparently it's not running.
Well, that's kind of a discrepant report.
It's either running or it's not running.
I guess it's not.
But China's screwing themselves if they don't take the Australian coal.
Because their furnaces are built for them, right?
Yeah, kind of.
In fact, most of the coal-fired plants require a certain kind of coal.
Yeah, and Australia has that.
So they're doing mines themselves?
I don't know.
They're in trouble, I guess.
Well, it's not going to help us.
If we were in a meeting, advertising execs, you and I both, we know how to do that business.
If you had to choose who's best to promote climate change, the agenda, the globalist agenda, on one hand you have Greta Thiumberi, on the other hand you have the Geico lizard.
Which one do you think is a better pitchman?
I think the Geico lizard would be the winner.
Yeah, that's what I would say too.
Because people are irked.
Greta's too mean.
She's gone up there and she's angry.
She's creeping people out.
And the dancing, that was a shark jump if I've ever seen one.
Yes, I agree.
So, correct.
We would have advised properly, correctly.
The United Nations has a new ad out.
It's high-end, massive CGI. I will give you the visual.
The United Nations Assembly.
Everyone's there.
It looks just like the real assembly room.
And all of a sudden, in comes a dinosaur walking through...
The members of this established United Nations Assembly, the dinosaurs here!
He grabs the mic.
Listen up, people.
I know a thing or two about extinction.
And let me tell you, and you'd kind of think this would be obvious, going extinct is a bad thing.
And driving yourselves extinct?
In 70 million years, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
At least we had an asteroid.
What's your excuse?
Remember, this is a dinosaur now standing at the lectern of the United Nations.
You're headed for a climate disaster, and yet every year governments spend hundreds of billions of public funds on fossil fuel subsidies.
Imagine if we had spent hundreds of billions per year subsidizing giant meteors.
That's what you're doing right now!
Think of all the other things you could do with that money.
Around the world, people are living in poverty.
Don't you think helping them would make more sense than, I don't know, paying for the demise of your entire species?
Let me be real for a second.
You've got a huge opportunity right now.
As you rebuild your economies and bounce back from this pandemic, this is humanity's big chance.
So here's my wild idea.
Don't choose extinction.
Save your species before it's too late.
It's time for you humans to stop making excuses and start making changes.
Thank you.
Yes, and the delegates stand for a standing ovation for the dinosaur who has convinced them climate change is real.
Well, the gecko has already been better.
Now, a couple of things.
It's interesting how the left is always excellent at changing the language.
Mm-hmm.
And they changed the language.
So tell me what this oil subsidy is.
What is the subsidy?
They always say, oh, we're subsidizing it.
I happen to know.
I happen to know.
There is a production credit that you can receive in the United States.
If you are producing something specifically here within certain categories, you have a tax benefit.
This goes to oil organizations, oil companies, but also to Apple.
This show has in the past discussed, we're not the proper financial entity, but in theory, because we're producing this here in America, there is an American production credit you could go for.
Okay, well that's fine, but that's not just for the oil industry.
No, it's not.
It's absolutely not the same.
The way I see it is there used to be something that was in the lexicon, which has never appeared in the 15 years of us doing this show, called oil depletion allowance.
I believe that term, which means that as you're pumping it well, it starts to run out, you get some sort of credit for just finishing the job.
Mm-hmm.
I believe that has been changed, the lexicon has changed that to subsidy.
So the oil depletion allowance is now a subsidy in the eyes of these guys, of the global warmest.
Percentage depletion is what I'm reading here.
Go ahead, keep going.
Yeah, I'm just saying, this is what they've done, is they've changed this to somehow there's some...
Nobody is like saying, well, you're going to drill a well, here's some money.
No.
From the government.
No.
It doesn't happen.
It's like Elon Musk getting subsidies for coming into Austin and bringing 5,000 jobs, you know?
It's like, yeah, you can get a subsidy.
It's like the subsidy that Amazon was looking at for Brooklyn and Ocasio-Cortez said, no, get out.
And, you know, all kinds of subsidies.
So, yeah.
Yeah.
Anyway, okay.
There's one kind of a related thing.
They're trying to do capture.
This is kind of interesting.
This carbon capture story that was on NPR has a funny twist at the end.
An Iowa company wants to capture carbon dioxide from seven ethanol plants in South Dakota.
It would then transport the emissions through 459 miles of pipeline before storing it in North Dakota.
SDPB's Ariel Zients has the story.
Summit Carbon Solutions says its project would be a big win for South Dakota's agriculture industry and the global environment.
Jesse Harris is a spokesman for the company and its proposed project named the Midwest Carbon Express.
Well, this would be the largest carbon capture and storage project in the world.
This would have the capacity of capturing and safely storing up to 12 million tons of CO2 on an annual basis.
That's the equivalent of removing about 2.6 million vehicles off the road every year.
Harris says the project would also benefit the corn and ethanol industries.
products could be sold at a higher cost to markets with low carbon standards.
The Midwest Carbon Express would capture CO2 from 31 ethanol plants across the Dakotas, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Iowa.
Technology compresses the gas into liquid before the emissions move through the pipelines.
The pipelines end at an underground storage facility near Bismarck.
Frank James is the director of Dakota Rural Action.
The basic problem that we have is that the eminent domain process of Dakota is so lopsided towards the industry trying to develop that people feel like they are not even represented in the process.
James says DRA and its members also have questions about the safety and environmental aspects.
Thanks.
Of carbon storage?
Yeah.
The whole story is weird.
Especially the presentation tells us nothing.
Was this about people who felt they weren't part of the process?
What was that?
I don't know.
I don't know why that was even thrown in.
What has it got to do with anything?
It sounds like the eminent domain of the pipeline was an issue.
Well, it sounds like it, but it wasn't well explained.
No, no.
Well, that's NPR. NPR does a crappy job, generally speaking.
And they mentioned that somehow there's going to benefit...
I didn't know there was this many people making ethanol.
Seven plants in North Dakota or South Dakota, wherever it was.
But they mentioned it's going to benefit them because they can charge higher prices?
What?
What?
Yeah.
That was very dystopian, actually.
Don't worry, it'll work out.
You can charge more.
Okay.
Well, you remember when Boris Johnson went into the hospital for COVID? Yeah, and then they changed his brain.
Yeah.
Well, I don't know if it's wearing off, because for a moment there, the old Bojo was back.
There was a television program, and it was about climate change, of course.
He's very excited about COP26. That's the new Boris brain.
And it was about, you know, it's not about humans.
It's about humans killing the earth.
And what are we going to do?
Because we are, you know, entire species are going extinct.
Us, the horrible, just wasteful.
Can I ask a question just in the middle of what you just said and what other people said in that other report?
So the world's population is going down?
Is that right?
We're going extinct, so the world population should be going down, right?
No, no.
It's only animals.
It's only animals.
I thought the dinosaur came to speak at the UN to tell us that we're killing ourselves.
We're going extinct.
Yeah.
Well, does that mean the world population is going down?
It would be logical.
Well, that would be part of the benefit, I guess.
Yes, the answer is yes.
Is it going down?
Probably not.
I have no idea.
I don't think so.
You're distracting me from a fucking 28-second funny clip.
That's all it was going to take.
I've got to set it up again.
We don't.
Okay, set it up again.
Nah, screw you.
This is it.
So sad.
So how do we start to rebalance it?
And I think we certainly could start by rewilding our oceans.
There's a lot of space to do that.
We could feed some of the human beings to the animals.
That would be...
We could have a vote later and ask if there's any candidates.
Did you hear what he said?
No, I couldn't understand him.
I'm so tuned into the Australian accent from earlier in the show, I couldn't understand him.
We'll play it again.
You'll catch it.
...cent is left for the wild.
So how do we start to rebalance it?
And I think we certainly could start by rewilding our oceans.
There's a lot of space to do that.
We could feed some of the human beings to the animals.
We could feed some of the human beings to the animals, he said.
What?
Yes!
So she's talking about...
What is this?
This is a nice term.
Rewilding the oceans.
Yes.
Rewilding the oceans.
Rewilding?
Yeah.
I'm not sure what it means.
Is that coming into play?
I mean, I've never heard it before.
I remember wilding.
Wilding was a thing for a while in malls across America where gangs of kids would wild the store and steal everything in 15 seconds.
This is rewilding the oceans and his idea, again, is to feed the humans.
By rewilding our oceans, there's a lot of space to do that.
You could feed some of the human beings to the animals.
That would be...
We could have a vote later and ask if there's any candidates, but certainly we need to take our responsibilities seriously.
We do.
Oh, yes, we do.
Certainly.
Mr.
Prime Minister, the responsibilities are quite serious.
I love that.
That's the old Bojo.
The old Bojo was back for a moment there.
Yeah, that was a funny line.
Yeah.
He'll have to pay for that.
Watch Boris Johnson looking real glassy-eyed for the next couple of weeks.
Oh, let's just put him back in the hospital.
I'm going to show my school by donating to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
Before you start, because now I've been tasked with reminding you to thank Buford for the gift.
Ah, Buford.
Yes, well I'm glad that you've been tested this because I forgot to thank Buford.
Yes.
And I think you have his name in front of you there.
I can see his last name.
Buford.
I just have Buford.
Okay, Buford.
Buford sent me an old train timetable that he spent apparently some effort digging up, Burlington Northern.
And I wanted to thank him for it.
Oh, very nice.
I've got a couple of interesting gifts recently.
I want to jump ahead on this particular read because there's a note that I didn't get in, but I did get the woman on to the...
This is one of those situations which I... I don't like.
It's when someone sends you something months in advance saying, you've got to save this for the Simpsons something show.
Yeah, Fielding sent a card in telling me to hold it till this show because he wants to wish a happy birthday to Jenny Fowler.
Get her on the birthday list.
She's on the list.
I got that done.
And so he also sent a nice little card in with some requests for jingles and stuff, but it's only $101, so we're not going to do it.
Jingles, you just give him some karma at the end.
Okay.
But I just wanted to mention that.
Sure.
Because it's not on the list, and it's not going to get read on this list.
But what will get read is Rita Harrington for $140.
And we should note that we don't read notes from this second half of the show list.
These are just people.
We credit them, and that's what we do.

This is good, good support.
Thank you so much.

And also, we have lots of smaller donations there, which are really sustaining.

Now, before we get into our birthdays for today, many children have grown up here on the best podcast in the universe, and one of the children we've heard from a lot throughout his growth is Sir Felix, Sir Chris's son in Australia.
Felix has been a part of many, many different end-of-show mixes and jingles and gags that the two have done.
And he turns 12 on Friday.
So Sir Chris and Dame Kylie, of course, wish their son and heir, Sir Felix, the early night, lots of love and goat karma.
But I just wanted to let you hear what happens when you have someone who's on air with us.

It's like a party.
Like a party.
And I have exactly zero end-of-show ISOs.
Well, then I've got three.
Okay.
So let's start with OMG. Oh, here we go.
Yes.
Okay.
OMG. Oh, my God.
Okay.
Then I got talking to you.
I'm talking to you.
Would you please pay attention?
A little long, but I do like the punchiness of it.
It's very punchy.
And then La La Land.
We're just sitting in La La Land.
I think I'm talking to you.
It's really punchy.
I'm talking to you.
Would you please pay attention?
Yeah, I think we should use that.
I like that one.
That's good.
It's good.
Hey, there's...
No end of show mixes.
I mean, I have one.
I'm going to play two, but it's quite remarkable.
I heard one on the pre-show.
Yeah, but those were old.
Those were just old ones I pulled out.
One was quite good.
I liked a lot.
Do you remember which one it was?
It was the second to the last.
The second to the last, I think.
It was catchy.
It was one of these toe-tappers.
Yeah, that kind of helps me.
Oh, sorry.
I don't remember what I put in there.
I got some classics.
Two short classics lined up for us.
That'll be good.
You got anything to play?
What time are we at?
Oh, man, it's time to go.
Yeah, I got a couple of things.
Let's get these out of the way.
I've got...
Well, let's just play this because this is like a baffling story that no one's picking up on.
They're always bitching and moaning about Russia, but yet we've got this Russia situation that nobody wants to discuss in any detail or explain.
Russians trying to get visas to come to the U.S. are now having to apply in other countries.
As NPR's Michelle Kelman explains, the U.S. Embassy in Moscow is only able to provide very basic services.
A top State Department official is sounding frustrated with the lack of progress in talks with Russia over the embassy.
The official, who asked not to be named, says the U.S. is getting to the Yeah, we're equaling out the spy count.
Hello?
Yeah, but...
Can't even get a...
There's no place to get a visa?
I mean, come on.
Yeah.
Well, you know, it's hard to get passports and visas, period.
I guess so.
At any embassy.
Yeah.
Supply chain issues, man.
We've got no passport paper or something like that.
I think I can close with that.
All right.
I'll close with a supercut then.
How about that?
This is just a supercut to scare everybody in America.
This is the media reporting and or commenting, I should say, on angry parents at school board meetings.
And the back story to this is that the National Association of School Boards sent a letter to the Attorney General Merrick Garland and said, hey man, these are like terrorists.
These parents are terrorists.
Let me clarify that a little bit.
It was the head of the National School Board Association and it wasn't approved by anybody else.
It was just some douchebag progressive that runs the place and it was sent to Joe Biden to send to Garland.
Correct.
And many school boards have now withdrawn from the association altogether, but the media responded perfectly.
Violent looking, angry, spewing parents outside of these schools.
Individuals intent on creating chaos for the sake of creating chaos.
These actions could be the equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism.
This becomes a security crisis in a sense for the nation.
They also mobilize even more law enforcement to be at these meetings.
It is dangerous to our children when the parents themselves are the school bullies.
I think one of the worst things is the actions at the board meetings, you know, the calling of names, you know, tyrant, Marxist, communist.
We've never seen anything like we're seeing at these school boards now.
What on earth has happened in this country?
Sometimes they're not even talking.
They are yelling and creating chaos.
Things have become so scary at these meetings.
I don't think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.
New laws may be necessary.
There's always the possibility that people will face criminal prosecution for this kind of conduct.
The FBI and federal law enforcement is tailor-made for that kind of national-level coordination with state and local police.
The attorney general has been...
Can put out a letter, they will take actions they take.
What does it mean that something that is generally boring and neutral, like a school board meeting, has become a locus for violence?
You look at the rage, the anger, you think, what is this doing to the children in those homes?
Working with the local school boards to determine the curriculum for our schools.
You don't want parents coming in in every different school jurisdiction.
And they want to shut down our schools and, you know, move kids over to charter schools and private schools without the oversight of the state.
And that's wrong.
I love that.
They're serious.
You can't educate your children without oversight from the state.
Well, this is the big point of difference in the Virginia gubernatorial lecture, which takes place on Tuesday, I believe, next week, where the idiot governor, who is a Democrat, came out and literally said, I'll have a clip for the show, literally said, you shouldn't have anything to do with your parents.
The parents should have nothing to do with the education of their children.
It should be done by the state.
It's beautiful.
I can't believe it.
And he said it, and it wasn't a gaffe.
No.
No, he meant, of course not, he meant it.
So, just because you brought him up.
The guy who was running against the incumbent, what's his name again?
The guy who was running for governor.
Yeah, the Republican, I don't know his name.
Yeah, well I wrote it down and now I can't find it.
The reason why, I couldn't remember his name either.
I looked it up.
Youngkin, Youngkin is his name.
Youngkin, Youngkin.
Do you know what he did for 25 years and certainly the last 15?
Podcaster?
CEO of the Carlisle Group.
No, let's just put a guy like that.
How about everyone's, oh yes, he's the savior.
Hello, Carlisle Group.
They were the Black Rock before Black Rock.
Yeah.
Carlisle Group was always, was always, oh, that's the evil guy.
Why can't the Republicans find someone to run against these douchebags that is not corrupt in some basic way?
He said, oh, I'm resigning, I've had 25 years of service, and now I want to help out my community.
Boom.
Governor, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
He may have found the light, but still, it's like, wow, man.
And is that ever mentioned?
You know, successful businessman, hello, CEO of the Carlyle Group is a little above that.
But speaking of successful and legitimate businessmen, Sir Gene and Darren O will be going live right after this show with a brand new podcast.
They're doing it live on the stream, noagendastream.com.
Expect plenty of KGB disinformation from that.
And then, just to top it off to make Sundays even more fun on the stream, Bowl After Bowl Episode 111 going live.
It's a bonanza!
And I'm coming to you from the heart of Texas Hill Country, firmly located here in FEMA Region No.
6.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, also known as sunny California, I'm John C. Dvorak.
We return on Sunday, the second Thursday of the week, with another full-blown deconstruction of your media around the world.
Please remember us at dvorak.org slash na.
We'd love for you to help produce the show.
So, till then, till then, adios, mofos, that's right, and such.
Flying over Afghanistan Or maybe it was Pakistan I promised myself to aim myself at every woman, child and man.
That was on my list I don't care if I missed I'm remote controlled I do what I'm told By someone at a computer Obama gave me a push More than Bush And I cost millions I'm supposed to target terrorists But not so much civilians I don't know what to say Whoops,
