	Mom, I need to get my shot!
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, December 9th, 2021.
	This is your award-winning Kimo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1406.
	This is No Agenda.
	Counting to four and broadcasting live from the heart of Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No.
	6 in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley where we're all enjoying the wonders of A2 Milk.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill in the morning.
	A2 Milk?
	Oh.
	I have no idea what A2 Milk is.
	I guess you don't.
	Will you enlighten me?
	It's the latest.
	Okay.
	Well, what's it made of?
	What is it?
	What's the deal?
	Milk.
	It comes from a cow.
	Oh, okay.
	It's real milk.
	You squeeze it out of the cow and it's A2 milk.
	This is the latest trend in the...
	I don't know what to even call this.
	It'd be nice if we can give it a term where, you know, people...
	Oh, I have to have gluten-free.
	They don't have celeriac.
	They got nothing wrong with them.
	But they have to have gluten-free.
	Oh, it's got to be 100% organic.
	The gluten-free.
	Well, gluten is a real thing.
	There are people.
	No, it's a real thing.
	It's not just celiac.
	The Chinese have a couple of dishes.
	You can actually buy pure gluten and cook with it.
	It's delicious, by the way.
	Mm-hmm.
	Some people are allergic to gluten and some people actually can't have it.
	It's dangerous to them.
	But not the number of people that are going on and on about it.
	And A2 milk's the same thing.
	It's not like a lactose-free milk which has been treated.
	This is real milk.
	The cows have been bred to produce A2 milk.
	Look it up.
	People should look it up so they can keep up with the trends in cooking and eating.
	They're GMO cows.
	I don't know if they're GMO cows or not.
	They've been modified, you said.
	Oh, they've been bred that way.
	Okay.
	They've been bred?
	Mm-hmm.
	Well, my wife gets sick from it, by the way, which is somewhat annoying to her.
	Speaking of milk, speaking of milk, just as an aside, we don't have to go into the whole topic, but reported now from Sir Chris down in Australia, supermarket shelves could be empty within months.
	Key shortages, milk and Weetabix, which is a problem for anybody related to the Crown of England.
	The Weedabix?
	The Weedabix?
	Oh, they love the Weedabix.
	That's a British thing.
	I love Weedabix, too, by the way.
	But the milk may not show up anymore, and this, to me, was interesting.
	What happens to the milk?
	They have to throw it out.
	The cow has to deliver the milk.
	Yeah, the problem is the milk will not be delivered to the stores because, just like in California, trucking companies cannot use their old fleet as of the first of the year.
	Because of climate change regulations, emissions regulations.
	Same thing we have at the ports in California, so they say.
	It's at least one of the problems.
	Gotta love it.
	Hmm?
	When will people wake up and realize you're being scammed?
	Maybe after this show.
	Just maybe.
	Holy crap, man.
	Pfizer marketing is going 110%.
	Those guys are all in.
	Four jabs.
	You saw how easy it was.
	You saw how easy it was to just push everyone around and get your own way.
	Come out with the Omicron.
	Yeah, come out with the Omicron.
	Omicron.
	Oh, yeah, well, we're going to need the booster for this.
	I mean, I'm sure you have similar clips, but crap, the CEOs are just out there doing it now.
	They're going off the court.
	I have the NPR stuff where they think they're still promoting Omicron as some sort of a horrible thing that's going to kill us all somehow.
	Well, I have 12 seconds of the Moderna CEO. Yeah, particularly with the data now coming for the Omicron variant, it is very clear our vaccine for the Omicron variant should be a three-dose vaccine.
	Unfortunate accident.
	Guy sounds like Mengele, doesn't he?
	I mean, not that I've ever heard Mengele, but...
	Yes, it will be very good.
	Our vaccines will be now three shots.
	Where do they get these guys?
	The Pfizer guy is almost as bad.
	That's the question.
	How about getting an American running some vaccine company?
	Maybe we get some honesty.
	Here's the Pfizer CEO, Albert Bourla on CNBC, and he says something very interesting.
	They're working on the presumption that they may need a specific New dose for Omicron.
	And he let something out of the bag here, which blew me away.
	What information are you expecting to get over the next couple weeks, both from within, you know, Pfizer and BioNTech and also from around the world?
	We saw the South Africa data last night.
	We know that academic labs everywhere are working on this.
	How will you make that decision about whether those three doses are enough?
	Or if you do, you switch to that Omicron specific vaccine, which we understand you started working on already and could have by March.
	Yes.
	The data that we received are data that we got from what we call pseudovirus.
	So it's not the real virus.
	It is a virus that we have constructed in our labs and it is identical.
	Okay.
	Sure it is.
	So we don't have the virus, but we have a pseudovirus that we created in the lab that is identical.
	How can it be identical if they haven't got a real one to compare it to?
	With the Omicron virus, this is a very well-known study, and the first data that are coming are from this.
	We are working to produce, also, reproduce the same results with the real virus.
	And that will come in maybe a week or two.
	And those typically are more accurate because those studies are, those essays are more sensitive.
	The ultimate proof is coming from real-world data.
	We need to see where people that have received the three doses, people that have received the two doses, if we have enough breakthrough cases, the severity of the cases, etc., etc.
	And that will come again, I think, by the end of the month.
	So, by the end of the month, holistically, we have enough data So you know that they're going to have a specific against Omicron vaccine.
	You know that they're going to do it.
	The problem they have is that they can't It's Omicron's not showing the proper signs.
	It's really not killing people off.
	Oh, not at all.
	But that doesn't matter anymore.
	It just doesn't matter.
	Listen to the South Korea...
	And then I want to hear your NPR stuff.
	This is from, I think, South Korean news.
	They picked up a small little factoid.
	In fact, you have predicted...
	Scientists from Cambridge, Massachusetts-based data analytics firm Enferns have attempted to bring more clarity to this new variant that experts around the world are currently scrambling to find answers to.
	They found that the Omicron variant might have picked up a part of the common cold virus in its mutation.
	This could potentially mean that the virus could transmit more easily and be more evasive to human immune response, while also displaying mild cold-like symptoms.
	U.S. top health official Anthony Fauci said that thus far the virus is not displaying a great level of severity.
	But experts say that it's too early to write off the Omicron variant as completely innocuous.
	We don't know really what's going to happen once the variant hits COVID. Potentially vulnerable populations.
	And then, of course, there's that question of long COVID. The virus so far has been detected in at least 45 countries.
	Then there's the question of long COVID. What is that?
	But as you said, this thing will break down because it was made in the lab, it falls apart, and now it goes back to its original common cold.
	And that, I think, is what Omicron is.
	Although we have another report.
	This is a great headline.
	A disastrous collision between COVID and HIV may have caused the Omicron variant.
	This is always fun.
	Some South African scientists.
	Let's start from the beginning here.
	Let's go back to...
	The days when it was first discovered by the French Nobel Prize guy, he's the one who said it's going to turn into the common cold.
	And he's the one who said there was an HIV component in there.
	And he's the one who said the whole thing looks to him as though it was designed to be some sort of way of delivering an HIV vaccine as a delivery mechanism.
	That's what they were experimenting on.
	He didn't think it was sinister.
	That's all back in March of 2020.
	Mm-hmm.
	So all we're doing is just trying to remind people that this is not a surprise.
	It's not a surprise.
	Exactly.
	Well, there was...
	What was I reading about?
	No, I can't find it.
	Anyway, I want to hear your NPR stories about how horrible and dangerous Omicron is.
	I have a set of a bunch of clips.
	Good.
	And you can see the NPR ones.
	I think there's five of those.
	Wow.
	And they're just playing up the Omicron as the unknown that's going to get worse.
	They do nothing, and I've said it before on the show, about you can take these news stories both ways, good news and bad news, and they take the bad news side that can keep their little...
	Component of the listening audience.
	Scared to death.
	And let's emphasize little.
	Let's emphasize little audience.
	Well, it's little.
	Yeah, it's little, but it's not that little.
	So let's start with the first clip there.
	Yeah, Michael, hop in here on this one.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Is it?
	Yeah, in PR1, that's the one.
	Not the three hammering.
	No, NPR1. It's been almost a year since the Food and Drug Administration authorized the first vaccine against COVID-19 in the U.S., the Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine.
	Days later, a critical care nurse in New York got the first shot in America's vaccine rollout.
	Since then, more than 450 million doses of vaccines using mRNA technology from Pfizer and Moderna have been administered in the U.S., But there have been concerns these vaccines may not be as effective against Omicron, the new variant that is spreading and spreading fast around the globe.
	Multiple studies are now beginning to provide what seems to be an answer to that question.
	At least they're a little more honest now.
	With Delta, they were just saying, oh no, it's clear, it's definite.
	Now at least they're saying, well, we made something in the lab, which is not true.
	It's on a computer, I think.
	It's in silico.
	And it looks like X, Y, or Z. But before Delta, they were just saying it.
	A couple of things to note.
	One, they're bringing it up in a certain kind of way, but they also, if you listen to the tone of voice and the way they talk, they talk to you like you're six.
	It's a very slow, ponderous, and then we don't know, and we're going to find out, and then they also have the kind of inflections that are very like you're talking to a little kid.
	I just started noticing that NPR talks to you like you're a little kid.
	But isn't that part of like the Heather Heyer problem?
	I'm just inflectual.
	So when you speak like that, you sound...
	It's milieu.
	It's milieu.
	You sound like a dick.
	To a little kid.
	You sound like a dick.
	Yeah.
	It's just the light sounds.
	It's just the hard sounds.
	That was the wind-up.
	Now let's get to the pitch.
	Joining us now are PR Science Correspondents Joe Palka and Michaelene Ducleff.
	Hey, you two.
	Hey, you two.
	Michaelene, you start, because as I recall, you were on the show last week talking about predictions that the existing COVID vaccines might not work so well against Omicron.
	Are we starting to get a clearer picture with these new studies?
	Yeah, we are.
	You know, in the past 24 hours, there's been a burst of new information.
	Data from three different studies has come out looking specifically at this question.
	In one study from South Africa, researchers took blood from people who have been vaccinated with Pfizer with two doses.
	And then they tested to see how well the antibodies in their blood could kill Omicron.
	What they saw is the antibody potent.
	potency drops dramatically with this new variant compared to earlier ones, probably below what is needed to stop the virus from causing an infection.
	So this data suggests that two doses of an mRNA vaccine probably isn't going to be enough to stop infections with O.
	No, she's actually saying probably, probably.
	Well, she's trying to say probably.
	...of an mRNA vaccine probably isn't going to be enough to stop infections with Omicron.
	And meanwhile, though, Pfizer released its own study results today.
	Joe, you take this one.
	What did they tell us?
	Well, Pfizer's also seeing this decline that Michaelin just mentioned.
	After two doses, there's a greater likelihood that you'll get, or it seems to be the greater possibility at least, that you'll get a breakthrough, which means an infection that gets past the defenses that the vaccine helps you set up.
	And what Pfizer also showed, and I guess this is the good news here, is that at least as they see it, a booster shot, a third dose...
	It does restore some of that protection.
	So it's possible that that will work to prevent Omicron from being that dangerous.
	And there's also, in addition to the antibodies, which we've heard so much about, there's some indication that a third dose raises something called your cellular immunity, which should keep you from getting really sick.
	The same...
	The same stories they had on CNBC, and even though it may not have been intentional, holy crap, what a bonanza, huh?
	Like, this is, what a great way to shake a whole bunch of weak hands out of the market.
	On Friday, oh no, we're all gonna die, Omicron.
	Monday, bam!
	Everyone who was smart made their money.
	Exactly as we expected.
	It's beautiful.
	Everybody wins, except the human resources.
	Except the poor suckers who believe all this crap.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Alright, onward.
	I'm looking for three.
	I thought you just played three.
	Oh, I see.
	You have a mix of numerals and letters.
	That's why it was a little confusing.
	Yeah, Michael, hop in here on this question of a third shot of booster and what we are learning about how much more production it may have.
	Booster!
	Yeah, so there's another study out of Germany that looks specifically at boosters.
	You know, they looked at how the antibody response changes, kind of like what Joe was talking about.
	And what they found is that a third shot of either Pfizer or Moderna can partially restore the potency of the antibodies, at least in some people, to a level right around what we saw with just two shots against Delta.
	Yeah.
	What are they basing this information on?
	The CEOs don't even know this.
	What are they basing this on?
	They're just making it up.
	Oh, okay.
	To follow on something you just said, you said at least in some people.
	Which people?
	What does that mean?
	Yeah, so...
	Hold on, back and stop it.
	Start it over.
	What is she...
	This woman really is hard to clip.
	It's hard to listen to her say, what do you mean by some...
	Some people.
	Some people.
	To follow on...
	This is the sound of pensive NPR. To follow on something you just said, you said at least in some...
	Some people.
	People.
	Which people?
	Yeah, so it looks like the response to the booster is like...
	I love my job.
	This is...
	When we're on the radio, you'd never do this about a colleague on the radio.
	You'd never do that.
	These people are not colleagues.
	They're shills for the drug companies.
	Yeah, so it looks like the response to the booster is likely going to vary from person to person.
	And after that third shot, some people may still be below the level needed to protect against infection.
	Oh, no.
	More data is needed to really understand this variation.
	These three studies are quite small, just about 100 people in total.
	Oh, no.
	100?
	That's the sum people.
	100?
	That's a useless study.
	Three studies are quite small, just about 100 people in total.
	Nevertheless, the take-home message...
	Wait, three studies, 100 in total, so it's 30 per study?
	No, I think that might mean it.
	I think she meant 100 per.
	Studies are quite small, just about 100 people in total.
	Nevertheless...
	Whoa, whoa, you're right!
	In total, bruh.
	She said 100 people and so 30 people.
	Hey buddy, did you get the shot?
	Yeah.
	Did you get the booster?
	Yeah.
	Are you okay?
	Are you okay?
	Yeah, I'm okay.
	Okay, here's one.
	Good to go.
	Good to go.
	Hey, go get that guy over there.
	I see him walking fast.
	He doesn't want to be interviewed.
	Let's get over there.
	Get over there.
	These three studies are quite small, just about 100 people in total.
	Nevertheless, the take-home message across them is really clear and consistent.
	It's like a survey.
	It's like an opt-in survey at that point.
	Yeah, they took it at the mall.
	Your best chance at preventing infections, as well as severe disease and hospitalization, is going to be to get that third booster.
	Yeah, baby.
	Yeah, get that booster.
	Get that booster!
	Boost, boost, boost, boost, boost, boost, boost!
	Hey, by the way, have you sensed a theme in this?
	This report, this fantastic report from NPR, have you sensed a theme?
	Hello?
	I think there's a theme of boosting!
	Unbelievable.
	All right, where are we at?
	Four?
	I think you, did you play four?
	No, no, that was three.
	This is four.
	Okay, four.
	Yeah, we're on four.
	And so what is the upshot here in terms of how worried we need to be?
	Because the headlines about Omicron have been scary.
	Scary!
	Whoa, what?
	Stop the tape!
	What headlines about Omicron have been scary?
	Have you seen one?
	Boost!
	I'm sorry, I'm preoccupied with the marketing.
	Yes, I have seen the headlines.
	On CNBC, markets crashing, horrible, death-defying, need a new booster.
	Yeah, that was it.
	Not about people dying, about all the ancillary stuff, the responses.
	Yeah, that was scary.
	You think that's what she was talking about because she's a major investor?
	Oh, you think?
	Boost.
	That's all they're talking about, John.
	Because the headlines about Omicron have been scary.
	Have been scary!
	You know, I think a big part of this is breakthrough.
	Hold on, stop it again.
	Does this come from an acting class?
	What?
	The way she presents it, she says, well, because the results of the Omicron have been...
	Have been.
	Scary.
	So she repeats two words.
	No, no, she says the headlines.
	The headlines.
	Oh, the headlines.
	I'm sorry, the headlines.
	The headlines have been.
	Have been.
	Scary.
	So she says the have been twice.
	Now she's reading from a script as far as I can tell.
	It's NPR, of course.
	So she says on the script this way.
	Yes, NPR is completely scripted.
	Are you kidding me?
	So she's saying have been.
	Have been.
	Scary.
	What is the upshot here in terms of how worried we need to be?
	Because the headlines about Omicron have been scary.
	Have been scary.
	Yeah, she does say it twice.
	Okay.
	They have been scary, John.
	They have been, have been.
	They have been, have been, have been scary.
	Very scary.
	You know, I think a big part of this is breakthrough infections.
	But the things that didn't exist, by the way.
	Variant really starts surging here, and we don't know if that's the case.
	We are going to see even more breakthrough infections than we saw with Delta.
	Like, how many more?
	Who is she?
	Is this the same woman?
	She's just a reporter.
	She's giving us medical analysis.
	Well, she is the NPR. Oh, I'm sorry.
	Yes, of course.
	How many more?
	Do we know how bad this could get?
	Yeah, we really don't know yet.
	This data is all in the lab right now, so we don't know yet what the vaccine efficacy is going to be out in the real world.
	But we should know pretty soon.
	Liar.
	It's in silico.
	It's not in the lab, lady.
	Lie.
	Lie.
	All right.
	That was just all BS. Let's go to the kicker.
	This is part five.
	This is the kicker.
	What they're saying right now is your best bet is to get a booster now while it's available.
	And even a single booster might not be enough.
	There might have to be more than one boost to get the protection that a booster can afford.
	Wait, let's hear that again.
	More than one!
	What they're saying right now is your best bet is to get a booster now while it's available.
	And even a single booster might not be enough.
	There might have to be more than one to get the protection that a booster can afford.
	And now, as the French say, it is time for le boost.
	Now, a couple of things in this.
	Yes.
	A couple of things.
	For one thing, the guy's nervous when he's doing his lying.
	Yeah, he's very nervous.
	But he puts in this little NLP, I don't know what you want to call it, when he says...
	People should get a booster while they're available.
	Ooh, I missed that.
	Can I listen again?
	Yeah, listen to the whole thing again.
	It's beautiful.
	What they're saying right now is...
	What they're saying right now...
	Your best bet is to get a booster now while it's available.
	Ah, wow.
	It's really a promotional item.
	While it's available.
	Get it now, kids.
	But what they're saying is get your booster now while available.
	But that's bad advice and perhaps misinformation.
	It's a lie.
	Well, shh.
	But don't confuse the issue.
	Were they going to stop giving them out?
	No!
	No more boosters!
	No, but he's recommending a booster when what we know is that both, well certainly Moderna and also Pfizer, are looking at creating a specific Omicron booster.
	So he's giving people bad medical advice.
	No, this comes...
	This is taken out of context in a certain, a little bit.
	Oh.
	Because it follows on a discussion of Moderna and Pfizer making special vaccines.
	Oh, okay.
	And this same guy says, well, they could do that, but it's going to take three to ten months to get approval.
	So, they are recommending you get a booster while they're available.
	So, And then, maybe a fourth booster while you're at it.
	That's what it is.
	One more time.
	What they're saying right now is your best back...
	What they're saying, the marketing executives...
	...is to get a booster now while it's available.
	And even a single booster might not be enough.
	There might have to be more than one to get the protection that a booster can afford.
	Wow, he's struggling to come up with the reason for the booster.
	To get the protection.
	He's struggling.
	He's struggling, period.
	Dude, the marketing is on.
	It's so disgusting.
	One of our producers had an 18-hour road trip, and he recorded all this stuff off of some radio station.
	You'll hear that he was recording it in the car, but it's legible enough.
	You've probably heard your kids say some unexpected things lately.
	I love this mask.
	It looks so cute with my outfit.
	But now, you might hear something truly wild.
	Mom, it's my turn now.
	Can I please get my shot?
	Our kids want to get back to doing all the things they love.
	They know getting a COVID-19 vaccine is the best way to get there.
	Everyone age 5 and up is now eligible.
	Tacoma Pierce County Health Department urges you to find a dose for you and your kids today at tpchd.org slash vax to the future.
	Seriously, people?
	That's what your kids are saying?
	Mom!
	I need to get my shot!
	And then NBC got a huge media buy from Pfizer.
	What's up, y'all?
	It's Megan Thee Stallion.
	This is a video, full on.
	Ariana Grande and Jimmy Fallon.
	Y'all know what time it is.
	It's time to get those boosters.
	Yeah, baby, get the boosters, Megan Thee Stallion!
	It was a mad Christmas.
	We sit in the house.
	We covered our nose and covered our mouth.
	But it's Christmas time.
	We'll be in line forever.
	Time for the booster.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Got Ariana Grande in there.
	Got Megan Thee Stallion.
	Professional video clip.
	Auto-tune.
	The whole deal.
	Good job, Jimmy Fallon, you whore.
	He will look good with his head shaved.
	So the thing that comes to mind is when the swine flu pandemic, which they did their best to freak people out about that and get them to line up around the corner to get shots.
	The initial promotion on that was two shots.
	And people balked at it.
	They balked at it and they had to redo it and make it one shot.
	And that was just a marketing thing.
	I don't think they'd change anything.
	They just said, oh, go, go one.
	Yeah, go, go, go.
	Yeah, but they said they couldn't mix it with the flu, which they later did.
	Right.
	The flu shot.
	So they lied all along.
	First they needed two shots, and then no one wanted to, oh, two shots?
	I don't know.
	I don't want two shots.
	And so, okay, okay, we'll give you one shot, which means less money, half as much money.
	And then they, okay, why don't you have it with the flu shot?
	Oh, you can't because there's too much.
	No, you can't do it.
	And then they did it.
	So, this time around, they got everybody all jacked up about two shots.
	Did you get your second shot?
	Yes, I did!
	And now they got them jacked up about boosters.
	What changed in the culture between the swine flu, which was when it was at 76...
	I'm talking about the one that we reported on on this show because it was during the last 10 years.
	Oh, it was 2008?
	No, no, it was after that.
	2009, 2010?
	I was in San Francisco.
	I was in San Francisco.
	Because I had it.
	I got sick.
	I remember I was staying at the Hilton or the Marriott, wherever it was.
	Okay, well, what changed?
	This is approximately 10 years ago.
	What changed?
	What changed?
	I'll tell you what changed.
	What changed in the culture that people who wouldn't line up for two shots, but they take one, and they did, But they wouldn't take two.
	Now they take two and they take the booster gladly because they want to be boosted, man.
	Fear, brother.
	Fear.
	Fear.
	They had a fear element going.
	It was not.
	Oh, no.
	They didn't have death tolls on the lower third or the right sidebar all the time.
	They didn't have Donald Trump.
	They didn't have any of that stuff.
	They didn't have anything to get that going.
	They didn't get the lockdowns.
	None of that.
	It wasn't right yet.
	It wasn't right.
	Well, that was a dry run then.
	Yeah, we've seen multiple dry runs.
	Interestingly, the Clip Custodian went into your wake, and I'm glad that you didn't have any of this.
	In fact, I should probably play the warning.
	This was the only news report that was pretty honest about what's going on here.
	And it was from Amy Goodman.
	You're beat.
	Well, as nations brace for new surges of coronavirus cases as the Omicron variant spreads, vaccine manufacturers are seeing their profits soar.
	A new report by Global Justice Now found the eight top Pfizer and Moderna shareholders saw their stock holdings jump $10 billion last week following the discovery of the new variant.
	One of the report's authors tweeted, when is a new COVID variant good news?
	When you're a pharma shareholder, obviously.
	Go Amy!
	Respect!
	Respect!
	This is not unexpected because Amy's the one who was promoting at the very early days that when the vaccine is discovered, it should be given away.
	It should be made public domain.
	And she was the big pusher of this.
	Of course.
	It should be public domain and everyone should get it because mankind is under threat.
	It's like global warming.
	Mankind's under threat.
	So whoever develops the vaccine should give the IP, the intellectual property, the IP away from To the world for the good of humanity.
	And that, of course, never happened.
	No.
	And never even came close to happening.
	And to this day, these guys don't...
	Hey, no shield, no deal, people.
	No shield, no deal.
	These countries won't give them shields.
	Remember?
	Yeah.
	And so she's probably a bit irked.
	So, I have now heard personally of, I think, seven people who I know or are related directly to people I know who have had heart attacks, other kinds of, just two days ago.
	A friend of mine had a heart attack.
	Yeah, I mean, and was he vaxxed?
	It's a horrible thing to say.
	You don't ask, you don't ask, you don't ask.
	You can't ask, but you know.
	You know, yeah.
	I know, especially in California, for one thing, almost everybody's gotten vaxxed.
	But I can tell...
	And the reasons for it were very suspect.
	Well, no, the reasons are being made very clear to us.
	Very clear.
	To us?
	By the media, yes.
	By the media, I shall read a headline.
	Young adults hit with sudden heart conditions due to post-pandemic stress disorder.
	Yes.
	So just so you know that it's because of pandemic stress disorder that young people are having heart issues.
	Please do not look at the vaccination at all.
	And it's really interesting that our same producer who was listening to this station, which must be owned by the pharmaceutical companies, caught two more ads.
	A cardiologist.
	Maybe you're waiting to talk to your doctor right now.
	But if you're having an irregular heartbeat, heart racing, chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue or lightheadedness, don't wait.
	This could be a serious condition like atrial fibrillation, which can make you about five times more likely to have a stroke.
	If you're having these symptoms, don't wait.
	Talk to a doctor by phone, online or in person.
	Brought to you by Bristol-Myers Squibb and Pfizer.
	Okay, brought to you by Bristol-Myers Squibb and Pfizer.
	Here's another one.
	I'm Dr.
	Baker, an ER physician.
	If you're having leg pain, swelling, or redness, but haven't talked to your doctor yet, don't wait.
	This could be deep vein thrombosis, a blood clot which could travel to your lungs and lead to a pulmonary embolism, which could cause chest pain or discomfort or difficulty breathing and be deadly.
	Your symptoms can mean something serious, so don't wait.
	Talk to a doctor right away, by phone, online, or in person.
	Brought to you by Bristol-Myers Squibb and Pfizer.
	So, again, so we have deep vein thrombosis, we have cardiac issues, talk to your doctor, brought to you by Bristol-Myers Squibb and Pfizer.
	What is interesting is this news report from November 13th, just last month, Bristol-Myers Squibb just purchased for $13 billion the myocardia heart drug.
	Yay!
	Yay!
	They can get in on the game!
	In and out, coming and going.
	They can get in on the game!
	Cause a problem, then solve the problem.
	The CDC is now recommending dramatic expansion of HIV prevention medication.
	I mean, I don't know why!
	But they really feel that everybody should be taking PrEP.
	This is the pre-exposure prophylaxis.
	Everybody?
	Yes.
	Oh, yeah.
	Anybody who's sexually active should be taking this.
	By the way, it might save you from dying from the shot or COVID or whatever it is.
	By the way, there was also a couple of reports about they're doing stats now.
	The problem is you're not going to get away from the stats.
	You're going to have to come up with some, which is the athletes that are dropping.
	Well, I have some stats for you.
	That is my next clip.
	This is a very good stats clip and I've pre-alerted Dreb Scott to put all of these different charts as they're discussed into the Podcasting 2.0 chapter images with the link so you can see them as this professor of risk information management at Queen Mary University of London explains why we are seeing a huge excess death rate Now,
	this is UK numbers.
	The same in the US. The excess deaths for 2021 are outstripping the excess deaths for 2020.
	And when we say excess deaths, it's all deaths.
	I don't care if you were shot in the head, if you were on a ventilator and died.
	There's more people dead.
	And what he does is he looks at risk management.
	He understands statistics.
	He understands how to read the data.
	And I've cut it down to two minutes.
	Stop me if it gets complicated, but I think it's easy enough to follow along.
	We found so many inconsistencies and anomalies in the data that when you take account of the most obvious explanations for these, there really is no reliable evidence that the vaccines reduce or cause mortality.
	In fact, If you take account of the fact that newly vaccinated people who die are likely being misclassified as unvaccinated, because that's the most likely explanation for the strange things in the data, then you get to the conclusion that the vaccines don't seem to be reduced in all-cause mortality, but rather produce a genuine spike in all-cause mortality shortly after vaccination.
	Actually, this guy's going to ask for clarification.
	So what this guy has determined...
	Is that, and he'll go through it, that people start dying right after vaccination waves.
	Shortly after vaccination.
	Just to clarify what you've said, you've said that the vaccines, the evidence is indicating a spike in all-cause mortality after vaccination.
	Yeah, it occurs shortly after the initial big rollout of the vaccination program in each of the different age groups.
	It's crucial to separate it into the different age groups because obviously you can't lump them all together because older people are much more likely to be vaccinated and also much more likely to die anyway.
	What I find fascinating, Professor Fenton, is that the media is reporting the exact opposite of what you've just said.
	And I've read the thread.
	This is LBC, by the way.
	Some reasons for why that may be, and that's to your point about the anomalies in the data.
	Could you explain what these anomalies are and why people are therefore drawing the opposite conclusion that you and your colleague in Queen Mary's University have come to?
	Yes, so first of all, the data appears to show you've got a lower non-COVID mortality rate for the vaccinated compared to the unvaccinated.
	And also, each age group, the unvaccinated mortality rate peaks at the same time as the vaccine rollout peaks for that age group, and then it falls and closes on the vaccinated.
	It's not natural, because it would mean that we've got a vaccine whose recipients are suffering fewer non-COVID deaths and hence are benefiting from improved mortality.
	And it can't also be right, because if you look at the mortality rates, they're completely different from historical norms that we find in mortality life tables.
	So what we're seeing in the data is that the young vaccinated seem to be dying after not getting the first dose, and the single dose are dying after not getting the second dose.
	And of course, a simple explanation for why you see such a pattern is that the vaccinated who die within 14 days of vaccination are simply being categorised as unvaccinated.
	And this data has been verified by Alex Berenson, and I think it's the truth.
	And when you normalize these graphs, it's really interesting.
	Man, statistics and charts, it's like, you can screw anybody with that shit.
	You can get a billion-dollar VC to give you money.
	But people are dying right after their first shot.
	But because they've only had one shot, they're not classified as vaccinated.
	Therefore, unvaccinated person dies.
	That's what he's concluding.
	This has been noted by others.
	And everyone just says, no, you're full of crap.
	This is like, some guy in Australia sent me a nasty note, nasty gram saying, you're full of crap.
	These sports people have always been dying.
	This is about the sports guys.
	And he sent a link to a Wikipedia article saying that sports people die to have heart attacks left and right.
	Children too, all the time?
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Now, there's something else.
	There's some other fish.
	Who was this guy?
	What was his problem?
	One of our producers just doesn't like the show.
	Why produce it then?
	Well, he's not producing it.
	He's not a producer.
	He's an anti-producer.
	He's in silico.
	He's in silico.
	Well, I'm sure you saw this.
	But the denial, there's a denial element here that is just fantastic.
	They don't want to admit to this.
	We've been noticed, I mean, the VARS database, which is only, like somebody pointed out, is only picking up maybe 10% of all the real problems, is just loaded with stuff.
	Nah, it's no big deal.
	The Airline Pilots Association has a magazine.
	Real Magazine, which they published, and they have an in-memoriam, and they did in-memoriam for 2019, 2020, and 2021 pilots.
	Now, I have no backup date on this, but when you see the pages in the show notes, you see 2019, and this is captains, right?
	We said goodbye to Captain Dan A. Friel, U.S. Airways.
	He died in September.
	2020, we have one, two, three, four, five, six captains.
	2021 is the rest of the page.
	It's like 40.
	Just a coincidence.
	Yeah, it's possible.
	It's possible.
	I mean, we don't know anything about these individuals.
	It could just be like, you know, these were all the World War II guys.
	It could be a million different reasons, but it's not a good look.
	Not a good look.
	So, man, they are just, they're pushing.
	They're pushing.
	They're not stopping.
	They don't care.
	Just don't care.
	Well, at some point, especially when you're judgment-proof, and at some point, if you kill your customer, You know, there's more customers.
	No, I think by now everyone realizes that we're only killing about 10%.
	I think 10% of the world will be dead by April.
	So that's certainly not everyone who's vaccinated.
	I think they went for 5%.
	They would be happy with 5%.
	They, I say they.
	I think they're going to get closer to 5% than 10%.
	Well, we'll see.
	I mean, by April, 5%, sure.
	But it could change.
	It doesn't matter because all this is about is accepting the vaccine passport into your daily life.
	So you accept the vaccine into your life and the vaccine passport into your...
	It's a small price to pay.
	It really is.
	I mean, what is the problem?
	In Germany, pictures now and video surfacing of store windows sprayed with paint that says, don't buy from the unvaccinated.
	Kind of reminiscent of Don't Buy from the Jews.
	I need that photo for the newsletter.
	Yeah, I have a video for you, actually.
	It's very, very reminiscent.
	The Germans fall into this so easily.
	So much so.
	And then, don't forget this cruise ship.
	I didn't get any clips from it about the cruise ship that's been floating around.
	100% vaccinated, and they got a huge outbreak, and everyone's stuck inside the boat now for 14 days.
	Let me see where I have her.
	Yes, I have it in COVID Down Under.
	That's where I have it.
	Who is this woman?
	Christine Anderson.
	This is a member of the European Parliament.
	And you remember Australia sent out an SOS. It was a small group.
	We're just trying to do something.
	A cool video.
	We might not have played that on the show, actually.
	I don't believe so.
	It's like, hey, SOS, the rest of the world, Australia here, we're in deep, deep, deep trouble.
	We need your help.
	So what better than to have a German member of the European Union Parliament respond?
	Here is Christine Anderson.
	This message goes out to the people in Australia.
	My name is Christine Anderson.
	I'm a member of European Parliament and I'm answering your SOS call.
	I will do whatever I can to make it known to the world that your once free and liberal democracy has been transformed into a totalitarian regime which tramples on human rights, civil liberties and the rule of law.
	I'm imploring all of you around the world who still think your governments are looking out for your best interest.
	At no point in history have the people forcing others into compliance been the good guys.
	The welfare of humanity has always been the alibi of tyrants.
	Do you not realize that this vaccine does not protect you from COVID? No.
	It does, however, protect you from governmental oppression.
	For now, that is.
	But don't think for even a second that this is not going to change tomorrow.
	I'm a German, and we once asked our grandparents how they could have just stood by in silence, allowing a horrific totalitarian regime to come about.
	Anyone could have known.
	All I had to do was open their eyes and take a look.
	The vast majority chose not to.
	So, what will you tell your grandchildren?
	Will you tell them you didn't know?
	Will you tell them you were just following orders?
	You need to understand, it isn't about breaking the fourth wave.
	It is all about breaking people.
	Australia does not need a no-COVID strategy.
	What Australia needs is a no-oppression strategy.
	So I stand in support with your fight for freedom and democracy.
	We need to stop our governments from transforming our free and democratic societies into totalitarian regimes.
	We need to do it now.
	We need to stand up now.
	I like that she brought in the, we didn't know, just following orders.
	And that's what we asked our grandparents.
	What did you do, Granny?
	I put them on the train, son.
	That's what I did.
	Me and George Soros, we put them on the trains.
	Soros was there.
	And we loved it.
	Collecting teeth.
	Let's go to Queensland and let's see what reopening means if you're unvaccinated.
	Yeah.
	The Premier did the rounds of morning TV, spruiking Queensland's reopening and talking masks.
	And if we have a particular outbreak in a particular region, the Chief Health Officer may ask people to put masks on.
	As the Health Minister made an announcement about another date.
	The borders are opening on Monday.
	Our mandatory vaccination social measures come into effect on the 17th of December.
	From next Friday, pubs, clubs, restaurants and cafes will only be allowed to have vaccinated staff and customers on site.
	The same rules applying to aged care homes, hospitals, prisons and disability services.
	While weddings will be limited to 20 people if unvaccinated guests are invited.
	The tough mandates coming with punishments for those who break them and fines of up to $13,000 and up to six months jail for those who threaten workers.
	People will suffer penalties if they are spitting or coughing or sneezing deliberately on those workers in those businesses.
	The hospitality industry have been handling difficult customers for...
	Absolutely, generations.
	The police commissioner assuring small businesses, officers will turn up if they're called.
	Additional patrols in, additional compliance checks, so that's already been built into our COVID planning over an extended period of time.
	Yeah, lovely.
	No worries.
	What I've noticed is that the vaccinated don't think about the unvaccinated.
	Let me explain what I mean.
	The unvaccinated have been, in vaccinated minds in general, have been so programmed that they really think it's just a handful of people and it really doesn't matter and we don't have to worry about it.
	And here's my example.
	Yesterday, we have a group chat with my siblings.
	It's my two sisters, Tiffany and Willow.
	Tiffany vaccinated with Johnson& Johnson, one shot.
	She knows she has to get a booster.
	She's excited.
	Willow has two.
	I think she got Moderna.
	She knows she has to get a booster.
	She's excited.
	And we're trying to plan finally getting my dad into his final resting place.
	He's been in my sister's closet for two years.
	As you recall, he's been dead forever.
	Yes.
	You'll recall that...
	You wrapped in saran wrap or what?
	What's going on?
	He's crispy, John.
	He's in a box, okay?
	He's burnt to a crisp.
	So, you know, there's a plot in Armonk, New York, which is the family plot.
	So they've been planning this.
	So then, you know, it's like, oh, it looks like we can go April 23rd.
	The new travel restrictions for the U.S. were not what...
	aren't all they were marketed up to be.
	Yes, you do need a test within 24 hours before travel to enter the United States, even if you are a citizen, but there will be no vaccine requirement.
	So they're excited because, of course, you know, Johnson, the...
	It's actually Jansen.
	I'm not sure.
	She might not have been eligible.
	Whatever it was.
	They're excited.
	April 23rd, we're going to do this.
	And I say, and they know I'm not vaccinated, which they believe I'm doing for constitutional reasons.
	You can't tell anyone otherwise.
	Oh, but it's because of the Constitution, right?
	No.
	No, I don't want this poison in me.
	That's the Constitution.
	Okay, fine.
	And I say, well...
	Wait, wait.
	You have to contemplate some of these things that you've blown by here.
	Well, let me...
	Okay.
	Well, I want to get to the story and then we can discuss.
	What do you have a question?
	Oh, I thought you had a question.
	No, this constitution thing needs to be discussed.
	Okay.
	So I say, hopefully the new mayor will let me stay in New York.
	And they're like laughing, emoji, laugh emojis.
	I said, no, don't you know that you can't go into a hotel, restaurant, bar anywhere in New York if you're not vaccinated?
	Really?
	I said, yes.
	Have you looked at Australia?
	Oh, yeah, Australia is bad.
	Have you looked at Austria, not far from where you are?
	Oh, yeah, that's true.
	Then Willow says, oh, yeah, that's right.
	Yeah, Italy, you also have to be fully vaccinated to go anywhere.
	I said, do you see?
	Oh, well, but it'll get taken off, won't it?
	It'll be okay.
	I mean, they'll lower that by April, won't they?
	I said, probably not, but maybe.
	But don't worry, because something else will get put on it.
	And I can only lead to the conclusion, and my sisters love me, I can only get to the conclusion that it's like we're safe, fuck everybody else.
	Well, that's the idea of the vaccine passport.
	Once you get one, who cares?
	It's working.
	Yeah, of course it is.
	Now, a couple of things.
	Why don't you just stay in a motel in Marmont?
	Why do you have to stay in New York City for?
	John, not the point of the story.
	Of course I don't have to stay there.
	Sorry, but it's the first thing that came to mind.
	Yeah, John, I'm sure I can figure out where to stay.
	That's not the point.
	And then I said, I'm not even sure the rest of the family will be cool with me being around.
	That's a bigger deal.
	To that, I got no response.
	Well, why should they worry?
	They're vaxxed.
	If you're vaxxed, you're safe.
	My sisters are not worried.
	It's irrelevant.
	Why should anybody be worried if they're vaccinated?
	Because they're mind-controlled.
	They're under hypnosis.
	They're under hypnosis.
	They can't get out of it.
	But it's disappointing that people who are hypnotized believe that this is great.
	The vaccine passport gives me my freedom.
	Thank you, government, for giving me my freedom.
	They have zero thoughts about anybody else.
	Anybody.
	Anybody.
	They don't care.
	And they don't care if it's 70% of the country.
	They don't even know.
	And I said, don't worry, it's all coming to your country too.
	And here is the commander of Starfleet Command at the European Union, Ursula von der Leyen, whose husband also works at a bio, Heiko, works at a biopharmaceutical company in Europe, who are also working on COVID-19 vaccines.
	Just a coincidence!
	And my third point, the final priority is to strengthen our pandemic preparedness.
	Last year, I said it was time to build a European health union.
	Today, we are delivering.
	With our proposal, we get the HERA authority up and running.
	This will be a huge asset to deal with future health threats.
	This is the HERA, which is a European Health Emergency Preparedness Response Authority.
	Earlier and better.
	We have the innovation and scientific capacity.
	We have the private sector knowledge.
	We have competent national authorities.
	Yeah, you're sleeping with the private sector knowledge, lady.
	Earlier and better.
	We have the innovation and scientific capacity.
	We have the private sector knowledge.
	We have competent national authorities.
	And now we have to bring all that together, including massive funding.
	So I am proposing a new health preparedness and resilience mission for the whole of the European Union.
	And it should be backed up by Team Europe investment of 50 billion by 2027.
	Team Europe investment?
	To make sure that no virus will ever turn a local epidemic again in a global pandemic.
	There is no better return on investment than that.
	Honourable members, The work on the European Health Union is a big step forward.
	And I want to thank this House for your support.
	We have shown that when we act together, we can act fast.
	Take the EU digital certificate.
	Today, more than 400 million certificates have been generated across Europe.
	42 countries...
	In four different continents, I plugged in.
	We proposed it in March.
	You pushed hard.
	You helped enormously.
	Three months later, three months later only, it was up and running.
	So while the rest of the world was talking about, Europe just did it.
	Woo!
	Yeah!
	We're number one!
	There you go.
	That's it.
	Now, of course, it's only going to be good for another nine months because you'll need your booster.
	That's what all the forms say.
	So there you go.
	Coming everywhere.
	This is about the passports.
	And so maybe they'll take COVID off and they'll put on...
	You got to have your prep.
	Did you take your prep?
	Take your HIV meds?
	Yeah, or something.
	It's pretty obvious that they're trying to do this.
	I don't know how we'll see how it works out.
	I have a couple of last clips that are screwy.
	We love screwy.
	Now they've decided that they can find, if you take the sewage from New York City, you can tell whether Omicron has hit the town.
	You can also snort it and get really high.
	So I want to play this clip.
	I mean, these people are experts in wastewater management, and I'm sure there's some things you can do, because I know they test the wastewater, see how many drugs people are flushing into the system, all kinds of crazy drugs.
	Sure, sure.
	But I'm not...
	You're not buying it!
	He's not buying it!
	I'm not buying it.
	This is Omicron in Wastewater, BSNPR, and there's a second one, which is BS2. Scientists say they have detected pieces of Omicron in Wastewater in Houston and two cities in Northern California.
	That indicates the COVID variant is present in those cities.
	What does that mean for public health?
	Raquel Maria Dillon from member station KQED explains.
	Last week, researchers flagged four samples from wastewater plants in Sacramento and Merced for genetic mutations that looked like Omicron.
	On Monday, they did another round of tests, or assays, to be more sure, says Stanford Environmental Engineering Professor Alexandria Boehm.
	Because we detected it with two different assays that target two different mutations in Omicron, and since they were both detected, I'm very, very sure that Omicron is present in the wastewater samples.
	Well, how's that travel ban working out then, Brandon?
	So far, the variant isn't showing up in no swabs in Sacramento and Merced counties, and BAME is not saying these four positive wastewater samples show community transmission of Omicron.
	And whether they are meaningful to public health, I think, will depend on whether there is an increasing trend in concentrations or if there's consistent detection over time.
	Researchers are looking for Omicron in wastewater across the country.
	The fact that they found the variant at all is kind of amazing.
	This team can spot tiny fragments of the virus's RNA in giant wastewater plants.
	Yeah, of course we have Omicron.
	Thank you.
	It's called the cold, but...
	Yeah, it's called the cold.
	Everybody has it now.
	Everyone's snoddering around.
	The Omicron is rampant.
	I'm somewhat flabbergasted by this report.
	Why?
	Because of the sheer volume of water and poop...
	And everything in between that you can analyze it for fragments, as she says.
	Well, it's PCR. They're doing a PCR assay.
	That's what it sounds like.
	Coca-Cola tests positive on a PCR assay.
	Here we go.
	Part two.
	So it serves about 1.4 million people and 22,000 businesses.
	Underneath the smelly tanks in a dimly lit tunnel, there's a sink where the dewy black sludge that sinks to the bottom comes out of a tap.
	It goes into collection jars that get sent to the lab daily.
	If they find the telltale strands of Omicron RNA in that gunk, researchers can identify its presence in a community in concentrations as small as one or two infections out of 100,000 people.
	Thankfully, we do know the language.
	Wow.
	at an alphabet soup of RNA in the sludge and trying to recognize sentences that describe COVID's variants.
	But the RNA letters are combined with everything else that passes through your body, plus last night's pan drippings that got scraped down the kitchen sink times about several hundred thousand other people.
	It's because of that that we really understand the language of SARS-CoV-2 now.
	At a rate that is unprecedented in biomedical research history.
	Did he say the language?
	What do you say at the end?
	A thousand other people.
	It's because of that that we really understand the language of SARS-CoV-2 now.
	You know what?
	This is, to me, like climate change.
	Hey, man, we can get some money to test people's shit.
	Good idea, bro.
	Good idea.
	Hey, we'll do a PPCR test.
	What's that?
	It's a PPCR test?
	Okay, man.
	Good.
	Let's go.
	Well, I think there may be another element that you're ignoring, even though I think that's exactly the reason it's being discussed at all.
	Some free money.
	I'm not ignoring anything.
	I'm trying to keep the show tight.
	Go ahead.
	Sampling individual houses on an ongoing basis.
	Ooh, you know what, John?
	Bring back the Dutch toilet.
	With the shelf.
	Have a poop guy come in.
	That's right.
	I'm thinking, no, just like the home test kit for COVID, either the government's going to test your poop or you can poop and test it at home.
	There may be a run on toilets with shelves.
	I was at some party once with a bunch of doctors and one of them had this, they had a patented toilet.
	Every time he took a poop, it would tell you how sick you were.
	And...
	It is just onerous to me to be testing the million population...
	Sewage treatment plant to see what's going on.
	I mean, this is, I don't know.
	This whole thing is out of control.
	You know what?
	On every level.
	When you think about it, you know, just based upon what they're calling science, you could test the poop, you could get, no, you test the sewage, you get the poop, then you can match that poop's DNA to the actual person.
	And then swoop in, club him, and take him off.
	Club him.
	You definitely have to have one of those crazy looking cartoon-like clubs.
	Black bag him, club him, and drag him off to the FEMA camp.
	Hmm.
	Well, maybe not.
	Maybe not, because there is something on the horizon that may save us all.
	A new study claims a type of chewing gum could help fight COVID. Scientists in Pennsylvania developed a gum made from a plant-grown protein, which they say reduces the viral load of COVID in a person's saliva, possibly reducing transmission of the virus.
	Now, they're now hoping to conduct clinical trials to test it.
	One expert told us it's worth studying.
	Yes, and they've already registered the domain name Juicy Mectin, is what they're calling this new show.
	Did they?
	No, I'm making that up.
	It may be a nicotine tobacco plant.
	That's what I was thinking, nicotine gum.
	Yeah, and they have been growing vaccines in tobacco plants, so it's totally possible.
	Yeah, but that would be different.
	I think there's...
	The documentation that shows that nicotine knocks back.
	That example, you might as well tell it again about the one guy in the office.
	Oh yeah, Dave.
	My buddy Dave.
	Small office, maybe 70 people.
	Everybody's out.
	Everyone's sick.
	Everyone's got the COVID, except this one guy who's just a chain smoker.
	You come within a yard of him.
	You just smell.
	It stinks.
	The tar is dripping off him.
	And he's overweight, eats crap.
	Nothing.
	Nothing at all.
	Never happened to him.
	Of course, there's also thinking that it's not just the nicotine, but also vape juice, which is the propylene glycol.
	Who knows?
	Who knows?
	Well, you'd think they'd study it.
	Well, yes, it's worth studying.
	We heard that in the clip.
	It's worth studying.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	But the big scandal, the big scandal that this is really all bullcrap comes from the United Kingdom, a huge, huge scandal regarding the 10 Downing Street Christmas Party.
	Oh, yeah.
	And this was broken by ITV, which is interesting because ITV has enough government involvement that you think, oh, wait a minute, could it be a political hit job?
	Yeah, that might be it.
	So, the idea, the scenario is that last Christmas, I gave you my heart.
	The very next day, you gave it away.
	They had a Christmas party at 10 Downing Street in December.
	And this was during the lockdown.
	Christmas was canceled.
	And there were questions in the media saying, did you guys have a party?
	No, no, we didn't have a party.
	No, we didn't have a party.
	So now ITV surfaces and makes a big deal out of this rehearsal footage they have with the press secretary rehearsing with staffers, which I'm sure Jen Psaki does the same thing.
	Okay, I'm going to sit here.
	You be the a-hole Doocy from Fox and you ask me the a-hole question and then we'll work on the answer to see what works.
	And that tape, that practice session was recorded and And has now been made public by ITV. Here is a piece of their report.
	A week before Christmas, as millions were cancelling plans, was Downing Street still full of festive cheer?
	Tonight, ITV News has fresh evidence that a party may have taken place in the very building that had just proclaimed them banned last year.
	In a rehearsal on the 22nd of December, the Prime Minister's then spokesperson, Allegra Stratton, is practising for the televised press briefings she'd been planning to host.
	Anybody have any questions today?
	She's answering mock questions posed by senior Downing Street staff acting as journalists.
	They include this one from Ed Oldfield, an advisor to the Prime Minister.
	I've just seen reports on Twitter that there was a Downing Street Christmas party on Friday night.
	Do you recognise those reports?
	I went home.
	Hold on, hold on.
	Would the promise to condone a Howie Christmas?
	What's the answer?
	I don't know.
	I think it wasn't the one answer.
	It was cheese and wine.
	Is cheese and wine all right?
	It was a business meeting.
	This is recorded.
	It's a fictional party.
	It was a business meeting.
	And it was not socially distanced.
	That recording is the first time Downing Street staff have been heard openly discussing a Christmas party here on December 18th.
	Crucially, the talk of cheese and wine, of it being a business meeting, of there being no social distancing.
	None of that sounds as if it met the rules back then.
	At that point, London was under Tier 3 restrictions, with people advised to work from home where possible and socially distance if they were in the office, with the rules spelling out that social gatherings, including Christmas parties, were banned.
	The day after the alleged event in Downing Street, new restrictions meant for millions Christmas was cancelled altogether.
	It is with a very heavy heart.
	I must tell you, we cannot continue with Christmas as planned.
	Right.
	Yet for the past week, Downing Street has denied breaking the rules it was making.
	The Prime Minister isn't thought to have been at the party, but on Wednesday didn't quite refute that there had been one.
	I think it's pure political hit job.
	Is it time to get rid of the Tories, I guess?
	Get rid of Boris Johnson?
	It was MI6, MI5. Oh yeah, this is a total hit job.
	It's pretty obvious.
	Total hit job.
	And this is what almost brought down Gavin Newsom when he did the French laundry thing.
	It's a very bad look.
	He didn't.
	It didn't bring him down, ultimately.
	That's why God gave him...
	We have a better machine here.
	God gave him a Guillain-Barre instead.
	Yeah, you can be governor.
	Take this.
	Now he talks out of the side of his mouth.
	The other side.
	Hey, very proud of our producers from Nolicek Meats.
	They made it onto Fox News, suing the Biden administration.
	Oh, good.
	Here's a quick clip.
	A meat owner has a major beef with...
	Even on Fox News, the puns are just great.
	The owner has a major beef.
	Get it?
	A meat owner has a major beef with Joe Biden's mask mandate and a lot of institutions going after the Agriculture Department as a result.
	Lindsay Fox is the co-owner of Nolchek's Meats out in Wisconsin, a gourmet...
	Gourmet!
	Her lawyer is with us as well.
	Feeding cattle.
	Get Monation all day long.
	Neil Sir, the Liberty Justice Center managing attorney.
	Welcome to you both.
	Maybe, Lindsay, you could explain what this is about.
	Thank you so much for having me, Neil.
	I am a fourth-generation owner at Noll Checks Meats in Thorpe, Wisconsin, where I work alongside my Uncle Kelly and my cousin Chad, who are also co-owners, along with a team of six individuals.
	My family business has been making award-winning ham, bacon, and sausage products since 1952, and we look forward to celebrating our 70th anniversary this upcoming year.
	So in August, the USDA issued a notice stating that masks were required to be worn by all employees when federal inspectors were present in federally inspected meat processing plants.
	Our team at Nolchek's Meats decided after the mask mandate ended in Wisconsin earlier this year that masking was to be optional.
	And out of respect for their decision and their desires, that was our policy.
	So our mark was withheld without any standing in regulatory or statutory law, and it immediately affected our ability to process our meat, our products, and sell wholesale, which is approximately 20 to 25 percent of our business.
	Good for them, getting the ink they need.
	And I would say thank you to Gitmo Nation for supporting them.
	They have been very clear that the support has been overwhelming, and they have outstanding products.
	I agree.
	Now this is all part and parcel of what's coming.
	Bloomberg reports, we can't process it.
	What are the processors doing?
	Someone subscribed me to this food processing industry magazine.
	Holy crap!
	I used to have a subscription to one of those food processing magazines.
	They're fantastic.
	The machinery?
	What?
	The machinery they have is unreal.
	Oh, the machinery is unbelievable.
	Oh my gosh.
	It's unbelievable.
	I mean, it's like you put in soy and some dirt in one end and out comes a steak.
	It's like Star Trek, man.
	It's like the...
	What is that thing?
	Not the holodeck.
	What is that where you just ask for?
	Computer.
	The replicator.
	The replicator, yes.
	Why?
	Good for you.
	You know that.
	Of course I do.
	So, the replicator...
	Live long and prosper.
	But it's...
	I mean, it's just filled with machines.
	And there's a lot of safety this, safety that.
	Make sure that your beans don't kill people or your soy isn't seeping...
	Arsenic.
	It seems like there's a lot of health and safety issues with this process.
	No, they're conscientious.
	They have to because the investment in that machinery...
	Yeah, it's huge.
	These machines are monstrous and they have to be custom-made by food engineering...
	Food engineers, guys who can design these machines because every one is custom made.
	So the cookie comes out a certain way with a scrape on it and a little frosting and a hole in the middle.
	And you know what they use for a lot of the design and how the texture looks?
	They use graphene.
	Oh, I didn't know this.
	I've got to get a subscription to this magazine.
	I used to have a subscription.
	It's expensive.
	The one I had was Food Engineering News.
	I'll look it up.
	I don't have it handy.
	I'll look it up.
	I'll send you whatever copy I have.
	But this isn't mine.
	I'll find a way to guess.
	It's a fascinating magazine, I have to say.
	These people are geniuses that make these machines.
	But I think what's happening, and the concern is that the people, the processors, are saying, okay, I'm investing all this money into alternative...
	That's millions of dollars per machine.
	Yeah.
	So for them, Enola Check Meats is like, good.
	Good riddance to them.
	Can't deal with it.
	We'll just make our own brat.
	Throw some more bugs in, Pete!
	Here, Bloomberg.
	Diners have increasingly warmed to the idea of burgers made from peas and coconut oil, crab cakes crafted from artichokes and kelp, and chicken nuggets formed with gluten and tapioca starch.
	By the way, chicken nuggets, holy crap, they got a lot of processors for chicken nuggets, which of course will contain no chicken.
	Not that nuggets contain chicken anymore, I think.
	But here it comes.
	Big food producers, that's your Cargills of the world, are betting they'll soon welcome crickets, beetles, mealworms, and maggots to the mix as well.
	Quote, everyone is looking at the environmental impact of sourcing food, so there's a lot of potential growth, says the group director of innovation at canned tuna producer Thai Union Group, which is diversifying into insect proteins.
	So instead of tuna fish, you get bugfish.
	Chicken and tuna made from vegetables, cellular culture, or insects.
	We know the demand for it will grow much more than what we're seeing today.
	And it will because, and this is something, I see this word, I'm like, John's going to know what the hell this is.
	Urea?
	U-R-E-A? Urea.
	Urea.
	Urea.
	Urethra.
	What is urea?
	It's an ammonia compound that's used in fertilizers.
	Australia is just weeks away from a major crisis.
	Urea shortage puts supply chain under extreme pressure, with supplies at risk and prices soar.
	Worldwide, urea prices are soaring.
	Urea.
	I'm going to say urea.
	Urea.
	Urea.
	What else do they use urea in?
	Fertilizer is the only use I know of.
	I mean, it might be used for other things.
	Ah, ah, ah, ah.
	This is that AdBlue stuff.
	Oh, my goodness.
	There's a...
	Before you go off to...
	No, no, this is about Urea.
	No, but before you even got to Urea, I wanted to make some comments about the food.
	Okay.
	Because Jamie Oliver won that lawsuit...
	To prove that McDonald's hamburger meat was not meat at all.
	Who won the lawsuit?
	Jamie Oliver.
	Was that the pink slime lawsuit?
	Well, pink slime, I guess, is, yeah, there's pink slime, something to do with it, but also I think pink slime is mostly the taco meat for Taco Bell, which is also not beef, some mixture of all kinds of things.
	This is not being covered by any media.
	Very little.
	Very little.
	Exactly.
	Besides the fact that the media won't cover anything about any drugs whatsoever.
	McDonald's is a huge advertiser.
	Yes.
	I'm loving it.
	I find it just depressing.
	Wasn't it pink slime that was in the chicken nuggets?
	I'm trying to think.
	I remember it was like a big news...
	Oh, here it is.
	ABC lawsuit.
	Here we go.
	Pink slime.
	A high-stakes defamation lawsuit opening this week with Beef Products Incorporated taking on ABC News for nearly $6 billion over a series of 2012 reports.
	This is what...
	And this is why no one will talk about the food producers because of a $6 billion lawsuit.
	If you tell people what they're doing and what they're putting into food, unless you dress it up with something nice like bugs, it becomes a problem.
	It's too risky.
	You can't do these stories.
	That's what it was, a defamation lawsuit.
	That was the whole thing.
	Unbelievable.
	Well, I'd like to look at this case and see what element of defamation was involved.
	Well, we did look at the case.
	It's from 2017.
	No, I don't remember.
	You don't remember the pink slime?
	I remember pink slime being in the news.
	And then they were more bent out of shape about the food processors.
	They were more bent out of shape about it being called pink slime.
	Yeah, that's it.
	Than they were about anything else because slime is defined and this wasn't by definition slime.
	It was just a juicy byproduct that was slimy.
	I remember the video and I'm thinking that's a pretty good description.
	It worked for me.
	Maybe technically it looked like pink slime to me.
	It's alright.
	We'll be in Urea soon.
	And with that...
	Oh, no, wait.
	Do we have a 3x3?
	No, I don't.
	The 3x3 today was a fail.
	Oh, no.
	Ed Sheeran took over the whole segment on NBC. They were singing outside and everyone was jumping up and down.
	The guy's a funny-looking guy.
	I don't know if you ever noticed.
	Ed, yeah.
	He's pretty funny.
	He's a ginger.
	No soul.
	We all know.
	Yeah, well, he's also funny looking.
	And then the ABC was straight...
	Wait...
	Strahan in space!
	Now, I will say this.
	He's going to milk this for all he can.
	Well, tomorrow he goes up.
	Oh, it's tomorrow.
	Holy crap.
	All right.
	That's what they said Friday.
	So, but the insult here is that they made a big deal about Strahan in space, which is a takeoff on the Muppets' old show, Pigs in Space.
	So Strahan's a pig.
	Oh, I see.
	Get it?
	Yeah, I gotcha.
	Yeah.
	So they're doing everything they can to...
	Poor guy.
	I'm sure they're going to talk about his size.
	He's big fat.
	He's a big porker.
	He's a big fat guy.
	So they're going to talk about that, you know.
	Anyway, so I didn't...
	So there's no...
	Now, will he get the billing of the first African American on a private space flight?
	Of course.
	Will they racialize it?
	Or are they doing that?
	They have to.
	Good.
	You know, here's why I'm disappointed.
	There's a football player in space, too.
	I'm really disappointed you didn't have a 3x3 because for weeks you've been telling us about this segment called Pop Start.
	Yeah, Pop Start.
	Yeah.
	Right.
	It's not going to go away.
	I know, but did you see who was on Pop Start yesterday?
	No, who?
	Hillary Clinton.
	She was on Pop Start.
	Well, if you haven't seen it, I'm glad I pulled the clip.
	30 seconds.
	Somehow, I have to admit, I did not watch the Today Show, and I did not watch the full Pop Start segment in context.
	I didn't need to, because we have Hillary reading what would have been her acceptance speech in 2016.
	Very emotional.
	What?
	Yes.
	Somehow they coerced.
	Well, you know, she's getting ready to take over, which is what, you know, we all laugh about.
	You can skip that part of it.
	You keep talking.
	What is that?
	What is that?
	Do you say that to your wife?
	Hey, you can just skip that part.
	Just don't talk to me about that.
	Do you say that to people all the time?
	It's rude.
	I'm sorry, but you can skip that part.
	Okay, fine.
	Here she is.
	And the pop star cruise response.
	I dream of going up to her and sitting down next to her, taking her in my arms and saying, look at me.
	Listen to me.
	You will survive.
	You will have a good family of your own, and three children, and as hard as it might be to imagine, your daughter will grow up.
	This is her acceptance speech?
	Piece of it, yeah.
	She's reading it.
	That's how it was billed.
	What a horrible acceptance speech.
	Well, this is just a piece.
	It's all about me.
	Well, what do you think Pop Start is?
	The Pop Start segment is to highlight me when you're on it.
	You will survive.
	You will have a good family of your own.
	And three children.
	And as hard as it might be to imagine, your daughter will grow up and become the President of the United States.
	Now that is powerful.
	Oh, so powerful.
	Say it with me.
	So powerful.
	Very, very powerful.
	I wish I would have caught that.
	Yeah, so why do you think she's doing this?
	Got another book coming out.
	Ah, okay.
	That's just as valid a reason.
	I agree.
	And with that, ladies and gentlemen, the man who was hated by the Grinch, the man who put the C in Christmas, ladies and gentlemen, Mr.
	Yancey Dvorak.
	In the morning to Mr. Adam Curry.
	I'll say the morning show to see Boots and the Graphene.
	There's a lot of the dames and the knights out there.
	Hello, trolls.
	Good morning to y'all.
	Let's give a little troll count, see how we're doing here.
	Oh, scurry, scurry, scurry, you little trolls.
	What do we have?
	Did I get a count?
	I didn't see a count.
	What happened there?
	Why did I not see a count?
	Oh, I see.
	I'm not doing the count right.
	Here we go.
	2088.
	Oh.
	Yeah, it's low.
	It's low.
	It's low like our donations.
	Yes, we're losing people to the Omicron variant.
	They're dying off.
	They can't support us.
	It's done.
	It's toast.
	I guess finally we're going now back to what we expected.
	We expected the pandemic, people will start going broke, and they won't be able to support us.
	Well, they are.
	I mean, everything's coming due now.
	You have to pay your student loans again.
	That's coming up, which is a lot.
	There's all kinds of things.
	So, anyway.
	Hello, trolls!
	Those of you who are here, thank you for being here.
	The troll room can be found at trollroom.io, which is, you know, it's a troll room. I mean, if you go there, then you will see very quickly what's going on. It's filled with trolls. However, they're good-natured.
	They're good-humored.
	You can have a lot of fun.
	And you can listen to the live stream.
	This show is live, multiple shows live, noagendastream.com, which you can also find at trollroom.io.
	And it's kind of fun.
	Give it a try.
	And if that's not for you, the live thing, then you can always go to, well, you can follow us on No Agenda Social.
	And that is John C. Devorak at NoAgendaSocial.com and Adam at NoAgendaSocial.com.
	And it's actually interesting.
	The word just came out.
	It's now confirmed that former President Trump's social network, Truth.Social, will indeed be a Mastodon-based service.
	Which, to me, is one of the biggest tech stories of the month and is being completely ignored by everybody.
	Can you imagine?
	Because tech doesn't write about tech.
	He's got the wrong PR people.
	But just imagine if he flips the switch and starts federating.
	Thereby making his reach, I mean, just amplifying it, because then everybody can follow everybody.
	Yeah.
	I think it's very forward-looking, and I think it's a fantastic story.
	So we've been running ours for over three years.
	Thank you very much to Aaroner, who was actually running it.
	And I can tell you that if you want to run that for millions of people, that's going to be quite a job.
	So we'll see how they do.
	What is it?
	What do you think that the founders of Mastodon think about this?
	Because they're a bunch of lefties.
	They hate Trump.
	They can't think anything.
	They have nothing to think.
	It's open source, so they had to publish their code, which they did.
	They published a zip file, which I expect people to look into and see what they change, what they're doing.
	It might give us some clues.
	But that's how open source works, and that's the way it should work.
	You do it open source, anybody can use it for anything under the very simple rules.
	And if you don't like it, tough cookies.
	I hope it doesn't accept cookies.
	It kind of gives me joy that they're all triggered by it.
	I love that.
	It's very funny.
	The ban list will be circulating, I'm telling you.
	There's a couple more people who are setting up their own servers.
	Nothing I want to mention yet, but they're about, and you can probably get an account with them, or just, there's so many places you can get a Mastodon account.
	Now we want to thank the artist for episode 1405.
	We titled that No Shields, No Deals.
	And Mike Riley brought a piece of art that anybody who had not listened to the show yet went, holy crap, and this is what I love about it, I got to listen to this show to find out what that art is about.
	That's funny.
	Oh, yeah.
	People look at the art and go, okay, often it's so obvious what it is that you just crack up regardless and know what's coming.
	But this one required some art knowledge, which we discussed as the Bosch style of art.
	Am I correct?
	Hieronymus Bosch.
	Hieronymus Bosch, yes.
	Explain.
	Well, this is a guy who was a painter in the 1500s.
	This guy's been around.
	Still alive.
	He lives in New York.
	He's been around for this since the 1500s and he's still around in New York?
	Are you just testing to see if I'm listening?
	Yeah, well, I almost caught you.
	So, Hieronymus Bosch had this distinctive style of mostly depicting...
	Hell on Earth, it seems to me.
	Yeah, it's like acid-induced...
	Yeah, there may have been mushrooms involved.
	And so people should look his stuff up.
	It's great screensavers, or great wallpaper for your computer, especially the Garden of Earthly Delights is really fantastic.
	And it's been parodied and taken off on in various ways.
	And I guess this had been done previously.
	This is not a new piece that he drew on the spot.
	Riley had it.
	He repurposed it from something else he had done.
	And he took two pieces from it, including the other one, which is the one I thought you were going to pick.
	I didn't know you were going to pick this.
	He did two pieces.
	And I thought you were going to pick the one with the elephant.
	Oh, really?
	I thought we agreed that this was the one.
	I'm sorry.
	No, I was talking about Homage to Roundy, which was the second piece, which is not the one you picked.
	The one you did pick, I didn't think I would even introduce it as a probability because it was so crazy that I figured you wouldn't even think about that.
	Now, which one did you want me to pick?
	I don't see it here.
	It's right at the top.
	Okay, I got it.
	No, we clearly said not that one.
	It was too small.
	No.
	No.
	Okay, I'm going to start recording that.
	All right.
	No, you...
	No.
	Just no.
	You may have said something, but that's the one I was talking about.
	And then you used the other one, which was probably technically a better piece, but I didn't think...
	That you would even accept it because it was pretty gruesome.
	This happens all the time with pilots, and they'll be talking to a tower from a different airport.
	It happens.
	This happens with surprising regularity.
	Yes.
	Okay.
	You thought I wouldn't go for that?
	I love that one with there's a bug eating someone's heart out.
	Yeah.
	The bug on the throne has a whole person up to his butt in his face.
	That's right up my alley.
	What are you talking about?
	I love it.
	So I was talking about the other piece, but it doesn't matter.
	I think it was the same elements.
	We had some other ideas.
	I liked Darren O'Neill's Equity Shop.
	I thought that was kind of cool.
	It had a lot of meaning.
	It was jumpy.
	It jumped at the yellow background.
	It looked good.
	You also liked...
	You liked the monkey one, which I didn't like at all by Capitalist Agenda, the monkey business.
	What else was there?
	You liked the wreath, the Kenny Ben wreath with the...
	With the girl.
	With the girl, of course.
	Yeah, I used it in the newsletter.
	That's how much I liked it.
	Yeah, the boobs.
	I'm going for boobs.
	I don't know about the boobs, but it was a nice, it was a nice piece.
	Do you like No Agenda Hamburger by Mike Riley?
	Yes, I did.
	I did.
	The Podcast King.
	Home of...
	Yeah, I thought that was cute.
	What else?
	Was there anything else that we...
	Yeah, there was actually...
	There were more than a few pieces that were good.
	Yeah, there were multiple.
	Yeah, you did the Equity Shop.
	Yeah, I like those monkeys because...
	You know the barrel full of monkeys, don't you?
	I guess not.
	Yeah, I've heard about the barrel full of monkeys.
	More fun than a barrel full of monkeys.
	Yeah, but there's a toy called a barrel full of monkeys, and that's what the Fauci monkeys are.
	Which is why it triggered for me, because we used to play that at home back in the day.
	The one I liked maybe the most, but it wasn't going to be used, and I was in agreement, is the Delta vs.
	Omicron fight poster from Rick Harris.
	I thought it was a beautiful piece.
	Too small.
	Too small.
	I didn't care.
	I thought it was a good piece.
	Yeah, I know.
	A good piece doesn't mean that it gets used.
	It's just a good piece.
	Now, some of this stuff...
	Oddly enough, gets used on t-shirts, hats, mugs, hoodies, you name it, at noagendashop.com.
	So some of your favorites could appear there.
	You could make an appeal.
	And anyone can actually have a shot at creating the album artwork for any show.
	Go to noagendaartgenerator.com.
	And now the way it works is we choose the art right after we're done with the show and as we're doing the post-production, then we throw it in there.
	So it's not easy for everybody to participate.
	But man, do we love and appreciate the work that all these artists do.
	It's such a blessing to have this offering every single time after we're done.
	It's appreciated.
	And Mike Riley, thank you very much.
	Congratulations on your well-deserved win for the album art for episode 1405.
	All of that, including all the charts and graphs we were talking about earlier, can be found in the Podcasting 2.0 chapters that you can find with a new podcast app.
	You need one, you need to try one out, newpodcastapps.com.
	We got a nice plug.
	Hold on a second.
	Before we do our thanks, we got a really nice plug on...
	Let me see.
	What was this?
	This was...
	Yes.
	Producer Tyler on the Todd Herman Show.
	From Tyler.
	Hey, Todd.
	From the fan.
	A fan from Post Falls.
	Love it.
	Hey, give us a way to donate at the end of the show and we will.
	You say if we find value, give value.
	The value for value model is perfected by Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak.
	They do a live tape to podcast twice weekly.
	They know agenda show with a live chat room and post the show to the feed when done.
	Do that.
	Curry invented podcasting and hates the roadcaster thing as well.
	Anyway, big fan, give us a PayPal to donate to and we will.
	Thanks, Tyler.
	I love that.
	Promoting the value for value concept while promoting the show.
	Excellent.
	Now, there's something that you need to know, which may offer an opportunity for an exit strategy.
	I know you're interested.
	I am.
	Dame Angela from Vegas contacted me and she says, Adam, things are going so well.
	I know she has a production company and she's just...
	Vegas had the biggest revenue month last month of all time.
	Not pre-COVID of all time.
	She says the mask mandate is pretty much gone.
	All the plexiglass that was separating all the players is gone.
	Adele is now getting ready to perform at the residency.
	So Vegas is back.
	She's got business.
	She says, I need to do something.
	And she is going to create, and she has the chops for it, a documentary about Gitmo Nation, the producers specifically, and Value for Value.
	And she's going to set up a website and people can talk about the value that they received from No Agenda, from No Agenda Nation, the value they've given back, really about the value for value aspect.
	And she's going to go to meetups and she wants, of course, to interview you and interview me.
	And then it hit me, John.
	Wow.
	And I said, well, first of all, how can we help?
	Well, interviews would be great and promoted on the show.
	Of course, no problem.
	How are you going to make money?
	How are you going to fund it?
	Well, it has to be value for value.
	Okay.
	So she understands how to do that.
	And then I thought, holy crap, this is it.
	If there's one project that Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak can pull off for an exit strategy with a companion documentary, it is the Value for Value book.
	Throw out the pepper book.
	Throw out the vinegar book.
	This is the book.
	We could do this and it would be a classic for times.
	It could usher in a new economic structure.
	What pepper book?
	I'm just making it up.
	A real book.
	Not a giblet.
	A real book.
	We both have to write it.
	I can tell you, being in the book business at times...
	Books are one shots.
	They go out, they come out, and then they die.
	They're not sustaining unless...
	You set up a seminar system where every month you have to go on the road and you go to some location and you talk to either free seminars or if you want to scam them into buying an upgrade or some cheap $100 deal where you get maybe 100 people.
	And you do that time and time again and then you sell the book at the end of the seminar and it's a dead end.
	Sorry.
	Okay, well, I can't write the book myself.
	And that's saying you can't make some money from a book, and it would be a good book to do, and it's probably something that should be done, and you can make some money from seminars, too.
	But, you know, it's a dead end.
	And it's a grind.
	It's the worst grind that we're doing.
	Well, that's no exit strategy, then.
	Not if it's a grind.
	I thought it could be a fun book, though.
	It could be a useful book.
	We could finally help people get out of the pricing mechanism of Silicon Valley.
	Do it for the children.
	I agree.
	We should do the book anyway.
	Ah, okay.
	Now you're talking.
	Let's just do the book.
	Maybe we set up a Zoom masterclass.
	We'll just do the book.
	Okay.
	We'll do the book.
	And let's thank our executive and associate executive producers now, shall we, for episode 1406.
	These are the people who supported this show with the treasure of the three Ts, which will all be in the book, along with our FAQ and our mission statement.
	Zachary Freitas from Pacific Grove, California.
	Probably Freitas.
	Probably.
	383-83.
	I wonder if that's a special number for him.
	Let's find out.
	Que pasa, calvazas?
	He says.
	Plead de douche my smoking hot tempest in a teapot girl, Sarah Taylor, as this donation goes under her name.
	Well, we'd be happy to do that.
	We listen live every Thursday and Sunday, and today it's a very special day.
	Let's find out, shall we?
	You've been de-douched.
	I'm recording at EastWest Studios Room No.
	2 on Sunset Boulevard with Mr.
	Adam Currie himself on the bass.
	I think you pronounce it Currie.
	It's K-U-R-Y. He's a pretty famous bassist.
	Adam, are you familiar with Candlebox?
	Yes.
	I've got the best damn bassist on this side of the Mississippi in the studio with me right now, and he knows who you are!
	In fact, Adam Curry, the bassist, had a funny story.
	He was late for a flight, and the doors were closing.
	He ran to the terminal.
	This was before 9-11, of course.
	His wife told the people at the terminal he would be there in a moment.
	The name Adam Curry had some power.
	They held the gate open for him, and as he passed by the gate, he overheard someone saying, Man, he looks different than I remember.
	Well, there you go.
	That's the power of no agenda nation right there, Zachary.
	Love is lit, stay lit, he says.
	Thank you very much.
	And congratulations to your 10% teapot girl, Sarah.
	Let me make sure to do a switcheroo.
	Yes, I shall.
	Anonymous comes in, meanwhile, from Ashland City, Tennessee, at 366.73.
	And Anonymous writes an actual handout note that was typed out.
	Proof.
	Sounds official.
	In the morning, gents.
	I wouldn't be more delighted to greet you with the donation that takes me to knighthood.
	I thank you both for your indispensable service to humanity.
	At the time of...
	Hold on a second.
	Heat.
	I can read it.
	You want me to read it here?
	No, no.
	I'm just talking about this train that's going by.
	This boxcar's going toward the...
	You're literally like, squirrel!
	Toward the train.
	Yes, it has six engines in front.
	Stop, stop, stop, everybody.
	There's a train.
	Stop!
	You are a foamer.
	A foamer.
	A filthy foamer.
	When you see six engines...
	Yeah, that's just foaming.
	You're stopping the show in the middle.
	I think you're having a stroke.
	Hold on a second.
	Hold on.
	Wait a minute.
	It's for a train.
	You know what's coming in on this train?
	Cars.
	Lots of cars.
	Okay, at the time of this writing, our anonymous friend continues, I am eight days infected with the Rona, and I feel great.
	Difficult to know for certain if this is due to the JJ shot I took in April.
	I guess that worked, didn't it?
	In order to keep my job.
	Yeah.
	Or was it my vitamin regimen or the Ziverto kit?
	There you go.
	Testing positive.
	Thanks.
	That's why he feels great.
	Thanks, guys.
	Yeah, you got the Ziverto kit.
	Needless, I feel great from Ann, my wife, with two Pfizer shots.
	Remains negative.
	Ziverto kit is on standby for her.
	I'm a concert worker for a very successful singer and musician.
	We've got a lot of this going on.
	These are people who are on the road and need entertainment in their dreary travels.
	And how dreary is traveling right now?
	He continues, we've had this immunologist advising the tour since June.
	He's an Australian dude who strikes me as a bit of a grifter, if not a spook.
	He's had us on these Binax Now antigen tests since we began, and I'm certain we've purchased thousands of them at this point.
	Every so often, he shows up to a show with a bunch of what he claims are, quote, doctor and scientist friends that proceed to move about maskless amongst thousands of party people.
	Uh-huh.
	He then gives the crew a pep talk about how great we're doing, but that we must continue to keep our guard up.
	These talks include a lot of cutting-edge science, such as, quote, Don't go into restaurants with low ceilings!
	And, quote, masks work and other fascinating data-driven discoveries.
	I leave you with this.
	Living life is more valuable than prevention of death.
	Living life is rooted in courage.
	Preventing death is rooted in fear.
	Both are useful but cannot fully embrace one without diminishing the other.
	I humbly ask to be dubbed Sir Per Spreader.
	Good one.
	Sir Super Spreader.
	Sir Per Spreader, yeah.
	Sir Per Spreader of Spike Proteins.
	At the round table, I request a toast to all future knights and dames.
	Love is lit.
	Signed, Anonymous, for now.
	Very good.
	Thank you very much for your courage.
	We don't have anything, as far as I can tell, for Thomas Pears, who came in with the executive producer donation of $333.33, unless you found something.
	I don't have anything.
	We move to Sir Anthony Seven, Baron of Hamilton, with the same amount, $333.33.
	Greetings to you gentlemen from Hamilton County, Indiana.
	This is right.
	The second of my six promised December contributions.
	Please jingle for me.
	Eat more kale.
	Eat more kale in memory of my proudest moment as a producer.
	In episode 567 at 49 minutes and 50 seconds or so, you read my note responding to a prior show's comments on kale.
	You and Adam expounded with your usual extemporaneous wit and humor one of the best examples why folks should never skip listening to the donation segment.
	Please follow that jingle by Two to the Head.
	I thank you so much for the years of reliable entertainment you've provided to me and my wife, Blessings, Sir Anthony Seven.
	So, have more kale.
	Have more kale.
	You will obey.
	The good one.
	Classic.
	Very nice.
	Sir, anonymous driver of the gap at 333.33 or 13333.13.
	Please keep me anonymous.
	No jingles, just dog karma.
	Huge thanks to the producers of Mastodon three weeks back.
	You gave me hope and direction during my 10 days of COVID extravaganza.
	This donation is meant to end the string of 30 threes that have appeared in my life for the last 60 days.
	Just three examples.
	One, large blocks of repeating threes in newly minted SSH private keys.
	That's interesting.
	I've seen that too in lightning nodes.
	A lot of threes.
	Two.
	My workout ending at the 33.303 mark.
	Nice.
	Number three, RSA token generating 033-033 for my one-time login token this Monday.
	Yeah, that's just crazy.
	I agree.
	I mean, I would be afraid not to donate when all that happened to me.
	You get the RSA tokens and the...
	I'd be shaking in my boots if I didn't donate.
	SSH Pride, the SHA-65, I mean, whatever it is.
	Oh, yeah, everything is unbelievable.
	John Adam, no one I know is more deserving of an exit strategy.
	Thank you.
	Well, at least somebody's on our side.
	Dollar bills y'all to follow once I have confirmed a first free...
	What?
	A jab free...
	He says, more dollar dollar bills y'all to follow...
	You get this as slang, John.
	More dollar dollar bills y'all to follow once I have a confirmed jab free job.
	Oh, well, that's never going to happen.
	Who's you thought?
	Karma.
	Ruth Durkin, 3.33 in the morning.
	Ruth says, I was hit in the mouth this summer by my friend Maciej, a Polish version of Matt Maciej.
	Give me a nice little pronunciation guide there.
	Who I believe is still a douchebag.
	No agenda has become the highlight of my podcast listening week.
	Thanks to you and your producers.
	I presume you want us to call him out.
	Done.
	And then has a whole bunch of links here.
	For those shopping for gifts and worried about supply chains, I suggest buying from a local artist.
	Aha!
	That's the pitch.
	As a photographer, I offer a large variety of high-quality pro-lab printed wall art images, icebergs in Antarctica.
	Oh, he's got a whole bunch of stuff.
	Penguins in the Falkland Islands.
	Have you looked at any of these?
	No, but I'm interested.
	Yeah, let me see the Antarctica just for a second.
	How did you get to Antarctica?
	That's the question.
	Let me see this one particular print.
	I'll put these links in.
	Oh, that is pretty.
	Took it from the ship, from the boat.
	Looks photoshopped.
	What does he mean by wall art?
	Are we talking about 60 by 60?
	Yeah, at least.
	My value for value proposition is that anyone who makes a purchase at my site, noagendaphotos.com, there you go, that's where we'll put it, noagendaphotos.com, nice one!
	Using the coupon code ITM will receive a discount of 10%, then an additional 10% will go to noagenda.
	Hey, we like this, great value for value proposition, the product looks good.
	Yes, I bought a domain just to afford to my site to make it as easy as possible for producers to remember and use it.
	No jingles, just jobs and business karma for all.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	Great idea.
	I'd be interested in knowing exactly what printer he's using.
	Okay.
	John at Dvorak.org.
	That would be correct.
	Andrea Ludlam in Holmes Beach, Florida.
	She comes in with $333 flat out.
	In the morning, first-time donation, so please de-douche me.
	You've been de-douched.
	Please add me to the birthday list as it lands on a show day, December 9th.
	My exit strategy is the investment in the Finnish long drink.
	The Finnish Long Drink.
	Where to buy one?
	TheLongDrink.com.
	Check it out.
	Are people now advertising on our show?
	That's a lot of people.
	They got a clue.
	They did.
	I guess they did.
	It should be available at Costco, but only seasonally and in local liquor stores.
	Would love to hear your thoughts.
	Thank you for all you do.
	No jingles.
	Just karma for all.
	Well, okay.
	So, citrus soda with a premium liquor kick?
	Is this some new, one of those new canned...
	Yeah, like a white claw type thing, I guess.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Let me see if it's available in my area.
	Yes, it's available in my area.
	Yes, it is.
	Why, yes, it is.
	It is available at Hondo's.
	Hondo's?
	Hondo's.
	And Tubby's Ice House.
	Also available at WB Liquors.
	I'm going to pick some of this up.
	And Judy's Liquor.
	We've got a lot of liquor stores here.
	Hmm.
	Yeah.
	Are they all drive-thrus?
	Yeah, sure.
	No.
	You've got karma.
	Good one.
	Go pick some up and give them your thoughts.
	I will.
	I'm not a fan of these, I'll say up front.
	I've tried a lot of these different drinks, and I'm like, eh.
	No, they're no good.
	They're just a gimmick.
	Ryan Vogel is in Buda, Texas.
	235.33.
	Adam and John, I'm donating the amount of 235.33 in honor of my smoking hot wife, Haley.
	Her birthday is on December 9th, which just happens to fall on a show day.
	Oh, that's interesting.
	When I asked what I could get her for her birthday, she immediately answered with a haunting...
	Donate!
	Like you do.
	Really?
	Well, good for her.
	Yeah, it's great.
	Thank you.
	Donate!
	Two.
	Reason number two.
	For the number of human resources we share together.
	Oh, this is the number two.
	I got it.
	35 for 35 trips around the sun.
	And 33, well, it's the magic number.
	It really is true what they say.
	A couple that no agendas together stays together.
	For her birthday, Haley has requested an Al Sharpton megacut.
	Well, we've got the Teleprompter 3 lined up for you.
	Love is lit, says Ryan.
	Thanks to you, Ed.
	Is this Crown Hog Day 2?
	We are watching That Was Up 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 thumbs.
	You can get a gig as a contortionist.
	Intravenous fluids and pills coated with gelatin.
	Sweet!
	We don't leave our women or men in uniform behind.
	It's a monument to the hubris of Dick Cheney.
	Representative Raul Ara Labrador.
	Years of abuse.
	I personally apologize to Mr.
	Peebus.
	Just ask...
	Soon to be former congressman.
	Democrats are outright jitty.
	CIA's counter-terrorism center.
	Veteran Affairs Secretary Shinseki.
	Why do I always mess up his name?
	Shinseki.
	I love my critics.
	I have fun with that.
	What's crazy is that I've heard this a hundred times for years and I still hear new things.
	I do too.
	There's a couple things at the beginning of this one.
	I said, wait a minute, I don't remember that.
	It's crazy.
	He's a gift.
	He's a gift.
	He's just a gift.
	I'm going to call it.
	He gets paid the big bucks.
	He does.
	And he deserves it.
	He deserves it.
	And he's so dour.
	You ever watch his show?
	Oh my god.
	No, his show's not fun anymore because they don't let him screw up anymore.
	No, I caught one recently, but it was just minor.
	They don't let them go off the deep end like they used to.
	Yeah, good times.
	Good times.
	Because it's only a weekend show now, so they have...
	Yeah, they got to produce the shit out of it.
	I know.
	Too bad.
	They ruined it.
	They ruined it.
	Yeah, they should have kept them on a daily basis where they couldn't do that.
	Michael Burns is up next.
	No, Damien Estevez.
	Damien Estevez.
	Of the famous Estevez family?
	He doesn't say 222.22 in the morning, John and Adam.
	I've been donating since 2012 and listening since 2011 when I was still a college student.
	With this contribution, I finally earned my knighthood.
	I'd like to keep things simple and go with Sir Damien of Isabella, my hometown in Puerto Rico.
	No agenda has made a huge difference in the way I consume media, approaching everything with a critical thinking lens.
	The pandemic and ensuing propaganda have woken up a lot of people to the M5M chicanery.
	But no agenda producers have seen through this all along.
	Thank you for your continued lack of exit strategy.
	As for the roundtable, I'd like to request Sweet Plantains and Don Q Gold Rum.
	Jingle request.
	The tech grouch.
	And he says something to continue with this.
	He says because the OTG segments are great, he says.
	With a row of ducks there.
	222.22.
	You know what's interesting is I've noticed this when I say if I'm talking to someone on a podcast or whatever.
	But even when other people talk about M5M, people who have never heard of M5M don't bat an eye.
	I think they actually immediately understand this MSM. Mainstream.
	But people just say M5M, like, oh yeah.
	Have you noticed this?
	It's like, no one ever says what.
	I've not had anyone say, what is M5M? What?
	What's M5M? What's M5M? No, I haven't heard that.
	I haven't heard that.
	The only good phone's a landline, and the phone should be made out of Bakelite.
	There you go.
	Classic Tech Grouch.
	Missed that guy.
	He may be coming back.
	Oh.
	Michael Burns, another associate executive producership.
	Keep up the good work, he says.
	For jingles, if possible, please play...
	No, let's see.
	He has something I need to do here.
	Please play China is Asshole sandwiched between two Howard Dean screams.
	Okay, so China is asshole, and then two Dean screams, and I guess then another China is asshole.
	Okay, that's your four limit.
	P.S., just like Cowbell, we all could use a little more China is asshole in our lives.
	Thanks.
	Good point.
	China is asshole!
	I don't know what that is.
	Let's try that again.
	Somehow the foamer crept in there.
	Chinese asshole!
	Chinese asshole!
	That's okay.
	It works.
	Michael Burns.
	I'm sorry, you just did Michael Burns.
	I'm doing Perry McHugh in West Fork, Arkansas.
	$200.33.
	In the morning!
	In the morning.
	To you and greetings from Arkansas.
	I am what you call a Roganite.
	There it is.
	It's here.
	Rogan Donation.
	I have been listening since Adam's first appearance.
	Thank you for your courage and have a Merry Christmas.
	Oh.
	Thank you for your courage.
	Merry Christmas to you, Perry.
	Thank you.
	Michael Day.
	All a good night.
	Fouquet-Varina.
	North Carolina.
	$200.
	I've donated for other folks in the past.
	It makes a nice gift just in time for the holidays.
	But this is my first personal donation.
	So please, de-douche me.
	Oh, glad you did.
	You've been de-douched.
	Southwake County, North Carolina has been on a roll for you guys.
	In the past few weeks, you've received donations from Cary, Holly Springs, Fouquet-Varina, and Garner.
	All these towns are located a few miles south of Raleigh, and apparently many of my Gitmo Nation brothers and sisters find this small area acceptable, so I'll post a meet-up just after the New Year since the holidays are starting to occupy most folks' time.
	Nice to know we're not alone in this part of the world.
	Keep up the good work.
	You're not alone.
	There is all of Gitmo Nation, and this is true for every single place.
	Every pin on the map, there's brothers and sisters of Gitmo Nation to be found.
	Jingles, little girl, I love to get vaccinated, and no.
	Because I love being vaccinated.
	No.
	Sick, sick, sick, sick, sick.
	Why don't you read the next one?
	Rob McCauley, 100, no.
	No, that's it.
	Rob McCauley is 150.
	He's not a...
	Oh, he doesn't count.
	Well, he will count.
	We'll read him because he gets knighted today, I think.
	So we'll do him in the second segment.
	Okay, well, I guess that concludes our list.
	No, wait, we have to do it because the second...
	No, we did the second segment.
	That's fine.
	Yeah.
	Sorry.
	This concludes our list, a short list of 12 people who are associate executive producers and executive producers for show 1406, which we will conclude as a dud for today.
	We didn't do the three by three.
	I got off to a late start.
	Lots of interruptions.
	Nobody donated.
	Wow, man.
	Why don't you grab the toaster and hop into the tub?
	Throw it in the bathtub.
	To everyone who came in for these executive and associate executive producerships, they're real credits.
	You can use them anywhere.
	It's just like Hollywood.
	We'll vouch for you.
	If anyone questions that, you let us know.
	We'll even have some Hollywood producers vouch for it.
	That's the power of the no-agenda executive and associate executive producership.
	And we'll have somebody work someone over if they don't take it.
	That's right.
	We'll get a couple of goons.
	That's right.
	We'll kick him in the shins.
	Some goons from New Jersey.
	We'll kneecap him.
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	If you'd like that privilege, well, just go to this website.
	Thank you all for producing episode 1406 of the best podcast in the universe.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	What?
	Order.
	Shut up, slave.
	Shut up, slave.
	I need to scream. - I need a goat scream.
	Sometimes you need a goat scream.
	So people...
	This is great.
	I get an email.
	Hey man, are you sending me DMs on Twitter?
	I said, no.
	Is this continuing?
	This horror story?
	Yeah.
	Twitter refuses to take these other fake accounts down.
	Too much work.
	No, because they took one down.
	And now these subsequent ones, no.
	I said, you just took down one that is doing the exact same thing.
	No, no.
	And this is a crypto scammer.
	He's getting people, oh, yeah, no, you...
	And he's talking like me, DMing people and saying, oh, you know...
	Yeah, you're going to thank me later.
	And so I get one producer like, is this you?
	I said, no, it's not me.
	And I've been telling you it's not me.
	Well, she says you.
	It looks like you.
	I said, look.
	It says Adam Curry.
	But if you look at the username, it's A-D-A-M-C-U-R-N-Y. You know, stuff like this.
	So annoying.
	And Twitter's like, no, no, no, no.
	That's just not enough information.
	Because you have an option.
	This person is impersonating me.
	Well, you can just block him.
	Okay, thanks.
	Thanks, Twitter.
	And send us your driver's license again.
	No.
	Oh, please.
	No.
	They don't even spell like curry.
	They have your picture?
	Yeah, they have my picture.
	I sent them my driver's license twice.
	If they're using a picture of you as theirs, that's reason enough to block them.
	He's copied my complete profile.
	It looks exactly like my profile.
	I wonder what the point is.
	It's crypto scams because he's getting people to buy.
	He's like, oh, if you send me a Bitcoin, I'll send you three back.
	I mean, it's shit like that.
	What?
	Look at Twitter from time to time.
	There are real scams.
	Hey, all you have to do is drop me this ether.
	It's scams.
	It's scams.
	Come on.
	It's scams.
	It's just scams.
	I have a letter to read, too.
	This is from Anna D. I'm reaching out because I made my first $50 donation for the nighthood layaway, but it's meant as a gift to my husband, so I want to make sure it's in his name.
	Not mine.
	Unless we can do it as a household.
	Anyway, let me know if there's anything I have to do to get that in place.
	He loves your show and introduced me to you guys and I know he would love to know you guys are getting the donation rather than me spending way too much for companies that don't uphold the truth.
	Thanks so much for what you're doing.
	God bless.
	Anna B. And of course, she never mentions her husband's name.
	Oh, no.
	Oh, yeah.
	I have two quick clips about M5M, just a prediction and something interesting that's taking place, and this is specifically about CNN, the M5M of all the M5Ms.
	Yep.
	So they got rid of Chris Cuomo, which, when you think about it, the guy was clearly a drip.
	He was uninteresting.
	He didn't have ratings.
	Why do you have him hanging around?
	Because his brother is the governor of New York, one of the most powerful...
	Now you're saying he didn't have ratings.
	Last time he said he was the top-rated guy.
	Of CNN! I guess that means no ratings.
	Correct.
	So, why kick him off?
	Well, you know, something else came to light, maybe.
	We don't know.
	No, we don't need him, and CNN is about to be purchased by Discovery.
	What?
	Yeah.
	Did you know?
	How did I miss that?
	I read the trades.
	Yep.
	And this is contentious because there may be an antitrust issue because of size, etc., the type of content.
	Size?
	They got no size.
	This is like buying a local station.
	Discovery?
	No, Discovery's big.
	That's what I'm saying.
	The size of Discovery.
	The size of Discovery.
	NBC's bigger.
	Okay, it's not the point.
	The point is...
	God, man, it's so hard to lead into a fucking 12-second clip with you.
	Here's John Malone.
	Go ahead.
	You just play the clip.
	Here's John Malone, the CEO of Discovery Networks.
	It's not just the channel.
	They own a lot of stuff.
	Oh, Malone is the...
	You know, Malone is like the owner...
	He's like the Sumner Redstone that's not, you know, all crunched up.
	I think, of course, he's more of a normal-looking guy, but...
	Will Hurst once said to me, everyone should just get a big picture of John Malone and put it on their wall with the title underneath, Your Next Boss.
	Yeah.
	Let me see.
	Let's just see what Discovery owns.
	Now we're taking this anyway.
	Did he start off at Liberty Media?
	Liberty Media, yep.
	I mean, John Malone, he was in everything, man.
	So let's see.
	He's a wheeler-dealer, this guy.
	And he's brutal.
	Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, Science Channel, TLC, Scripps Network, Food Network, Asian Food Network, Home and Garden TV, Travel TV, Discovery Plus, Eurosport, Golf TV, the PG... I mean, everything.
	Everything.
	So...
	What does he want to do when CNN is brought into discovery?
	Here's the clip.
	I would like to see CNN evolve back to the kind of journalism that it started with and, you know, actually have journalists, which would be unique and refreshing.
	Ah!
	So, goodbye Chris Cuomo.
	I think goodbye Don Lemon.
	I think they're all on the chopping block.
	Goodbye.
	All of them.
	Now, who is auditioning?
	Who's auditioning?
	It's from in-house.
	I can tell you who's going to get the primetime slot.
	Just a guess.
	But when I saw this, I thought, oh yeah, Tapper is auditioning.
	That Simpsons episode in Hong Kong disappeared like Peng Shui.
	Disappeared like citizen journalist Zhang Jian, whom the Chinese government has locked up for telling the truth about COVID-19.
	Disappeared.
	Like the consciences of the millionaires and billionaires in Hollywood and the NBA and the IOC and Wall Street are all so eager for Chinese cash.
	They are pretending none of this is happening.
	There is no amount of money that can buy enough soap to wash that blood off their hands.
	Notice that the minute CNN is getting acquired, they don't need the Chinese money anymore.
	And here's Jake Tapper being the big primetime guy.
	You watch, he's going to get a primetime slot.
	I think Jake Tapper is the man.
	Well, I think that was a good catch, whoever got that.
	That was me.
	You got it?
	You were watching CNN, not watching MSNBC? If CNN falls, by the way, MSNBC is next.
	Well, NBC is part of a bigger thing.
	Yeah, but there's something fishy about MSNBC. We think that's spinning out?
	We're just, hey, Microsoft, take it all.
	Give it all to Microsoft.
	Microsoft got bought out a long time ago.
	Oh, they just have the MS still in there?
	So they still have the MS in there.
	Okay.
	I think you're right.
	And if Malone comes in, he will fire everybody.
	He's brutal.
	It's what he does, right?
	And he's going to look at all these guys.
	He's going to take one look at Don Lemon, and Don Lemon's going to be just...
	Goodbye, Don Lemon.
	How much do you want to get out of your contract?
	Cash.
	No, you're not getting that much.
	No, goodbye.
	Okay, then we'll move you to the 3 a.m.
	slot.
	How are you going to like that?
	But wait a minute, the 3am slots where they play CNN International.
	Exactly.
	Exactly, Don.
	So, not a lot of coverage of the Maxwell Jelaine Maxwell.
	Maxwell Jelaine.
	That's like a new coffee.
	Maxwell Jelaine.
	That's right.
	Okay, I'm writing that one down.
	In fact, two of the Twitter...
	Accounts that just follow what's going on and just post stuff have been shut down.
	What?
	Yeah.
	Why?
	That's the question.
	That's the question.
	Now, still, to this day, everything I've heard come out of this, and there's a couple podcasts I listen to, and they follow it, and that's about the only place you can still get some, on the independent podcast, Distributed Nature, of course.
	Twitter is shut down immediately.
	And all of a sudden, it just hit me.
	Because I'm like, why is this woman alive?
	I mean, it's not like I want anyone dead, but...
	She's a major spook is why.
	Yes, and what was she doing?
	I can tell you why.
	She was blackmailing Epstein.
	She's the black widow.
	She's the one.
	Epstein was her tool.
	She comes from the richest spy family in the world.
	Her whole family is tied in.
	And it goes all the way back to all the Silicon Valley, what now is Peter Thiel's thing, what was that software, the database that everybody had?
	Palantir.
	Palantir, yeah, but before then it was something else, I forget what it was called.
	Promise.
	The Promise system.
	Yeah, Promise.
	Her sister was involved in that.
	Her sister was involved in that, the one that you used to have on the show.
	No.
	The Teal wasn't involved either.
	The Promise database was wound up in Palantir.
	Okay.
	So, she is the black widow, and that's why she's untouchable.
	All this stuff is known.
	It was published in Vanity Fair years ago.
	Nothing new has come out yet.
	Nothing.
	Oh, we got the pilot on the stand.
	Who cares?
	Where's the video?
	We know there's video.
	There's videos, there's pictures.
	The pilot was covering.
	I didn't see nothing.
	But she's the Black Widow, man.
	She's the one.
	She's now being painted as, oh, well, you know, she was procuring girls.
	No, no, no.
	She's the one.
	I guarantee you.
	She has the receipt somewhere, and she's alive because of it.
	She must have a dead woman switch.
	There's something up.
	Well, they're just the words out.
	Don't mess with her.
	And some vindication for me.
	I have no clip.
	I don't need to play it.
	Looks like China's rover spotted the mysterious hut on the moon.
	Oh, Israeli moon base anybody?
	I've only been saying it for 15 years.
	You went through a very small period of denial.
	I've never gone through denial on that.
	Yeah, you denied saying it, and then somebody had to dig up the clip, and it's, oh, yeah.
	And he said, yeah, yeah.
	It was about Israeli versus American, not about the bases themselves.
	I think it's just a glitch in the camera.
	Okay.
	All right.
	We'll see, won't we?
	Let's listen to this.
	This is a clip from NPR on regulating social media.
	Oh, I love this.
	Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen is urging lawmakers to act quickly to regulate social media companies.
	NPR's Shannon Bond has more.
	Stop.
	Stop the clip right now.
	What does she have to do?
	She's just some stooge that worked at the company.
	All of a sudden, she's some big expert that should be regulated.
	She's a nudnik.
	I happened to hear this.
	I was driving, and just by accident, it flipped over to NPR. That truly was an accident.
	It was on the Sirius satellite.
	And I heard this report, and I thought exactly the same.
	Like, what?
	Now she's an expert in regulation?
	No, no, no.
	She was in a department that got shut down, and she's clearly an inside shill for Washington.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	We knew that, though.
	We'd already deconstructed that.
	Oh, yeah.
	No, she's a spook.
	Facebook whistleblower.
	I'm not a spook.
	She works for somebody.
	She works for somebody.
	I think, well, we determined she was working in intelligence at Facebook.
	Yes.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Spook.
	Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen is urging lawmakers to act quickly to regulate social media companies.
	You could also say the same, that you could report Edward Snowden urges.
	I mean, it could be the same.
	And here's Shannon Bond has more.
	Former Facebook product manager Frances Haugen says tech companies won't rein themselves in, so it's up to Congress.
	You have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create new rules for our online world.
	I came forward at great personal risk because I believe we still have time to act, but we must act now.
	At the hearing, lawmakers said there's bipartisan appetite to change the law that protects online platforms from being sued over what their users post in most cases.
	But they did not agree on why reform is needed, with Democrats saying tech companies should crack down more on harmful content and Republicans alleging censorship.
	Haugen urged them to focus on how the companies rank and recommend content rather than banning particular kinds of posts.
	By the time they get around to writing some legislation, people are going to be gone.
	Not on Facebook, but they'll be gone.
	This is moving.
	This is moving away.
	I wonder if they could write regulations that would affect Mastodon.
	Well, if you remove Section 230 in its entirety, yes, because then the platform would be liable if someone libels or slanders or defames, etc.
	Which happens constantly, especially on no agenda social.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Without Section 230, it becomes a problem.
	Definitely.
	So what would you do?
	Fuck them.
	Keep going.
	I don't care.
	What am I, some pussy?
	The word is, I'm judgment-proof.
	I'm judgment-proof.
	That's it.
	We're going to move to the metaverse.
	And I finally understand why the metaverse will work and will be appealing.
	And it took me a bit.
	Okay, I would like to hear this.
	Yes, so I saw a video recording of, this is Sir Brian of London, one of our knights, who also works very hard on Podcasting 2.0, and he did a presentation to a different, I think the Hive community, which is a blockchain project, and he did it in the metaverse, and so I watched this video, And it's like Second Life.
	It's what you'd expect, right?
	It's him.
	It kind of looks like him.
	Although he was wearing the VR glasses and the gloves, so all his gestures were kind of quite natural and people were mulling around.
	And I'm like, I understand why people will love this.
	In the metaverse, You can be any kind of victim you want.
	You can be black.
	You can be trans.
	You can have one leg.
	You can be a victim in virtual reality.
	Everybody can have their own little special thing.
	Do you think people are yearning for victimhood?
	Is that what you're saying?
	Hello?
	Isn't that what the entire millennial, the Zoomers are built on?
	Victimhood?
	Well, that's something I had not considered.
	I know.
	When I saw the avatars, I'm like, oh, you can make yourself black.
	You can make yourself a woman.
	This is all part of it.
	This is all part of the fun.
	Shoot, man.
	Your girl from LinkedIn could do some fun business in there.
	Your creepy-ass female profile.
	Hey, if you see a hot chick in some no-agenda metaverse area, run.
	It's Dvorak.
	Be very, very worried.
	Looking for lawsuits.
	None of this will work, of course, if it's all based on Amazon's AWS. When will people learn?
	Will they ever learn?
	Is Netflix going to learn?
	Are any of these companies going to learn?
	It's a dumb idea to base your entire infrastructure on Amazon's infrastructure?
	And that was a pretty big outage they had.
	Oh, that was terrible.
	Yeah, it was affecting everything.
	I've got a clip here.
	Interestingly, not no agenda infrastructure.
	Yeah, that is interesting, isn't it?
	We're no AWS. We're no big cloud company.
	We have our own cloud.
	Yeah, we do everything.
	It's more like a chemtrail.
	Amazon can't shut us down.
	That's the point.
	Yes.
	Let's play this clip and talk about it.
	What is going on with this?
	The clip is weird Olympic boycott.
	Yes.
	Yeah, okay, here we go.
	What kind of a boycott is this?
	Just listen to this.
	The president of the International Olympic Committee says diplomatic boycotts of the upcoming Winter Games in Beijing will not threaten the integrity of the competition.
	Canada, the UK, and Australia have joined the US this week announcing boycotts to protest China's documented human rights abuses.
	More from NPR's Tom Goldman.
	The diplomatic boycotts don't affect those countries' athletes scheduled to compete at the Games.
	That's good news to IOC President Thomas Bach, who spoke during a virtual press conference.
	We welcome that they can participate.
	They are supported by their national governments.
	And the rest is politics and our political neutrality.
	The principle is applied.
	When asked to comment directly about Chinese government human rights violations, the IOC repeatedly claims political neutrality, even though it's made political calculations in the past, including banning South Africa from the Games during that country's apartheid era of racial segregation.
	Okay.
	What's the point of this?
	Oh, I think I know.
	By the way, for a little more background, when there was a Russian Olympics, I don't remember the dates, I think it was in the 70s or 80s, We decided to boycott them and we pulled all our athletes out and had something called the international game, some bogus thing.
	Yeah, that's a proper boycott.
	There's no boycott.
	There's no boycott.
	Well, so there's a small problem with a boycott like that.
	Now, I don't know if China will care that much, but when you don't have the elites coming...
	That's a lot of champagne you're not serving, and they know that.
	So there's a lot of hotel blocks they're not going to sell.
	Diplomatic boycott, that's the gravy train.
	That's what all these people get on.
	Oh yeah, International Olympic Committee, we're going to Beijing.
	This is huge.
	They go with 747s full of government douchebags.
	But that's not why they're bowing out.
	I think, when are the Olympics?
	What is the date of the Olympics?
	I can tell you what's going to happen.
	What is the Winter Olympics?
	They're coming up in a month or so.
	Yeah.
	It's because they're going to invade Taiwan.
	And no one wants to be in Beijing when the invasion happens.
	They're going to do it right after the Olympics.
	They're going to invade Taiwan.
	I mean, invasion may be a big word, right?
	Right?
	I said it right.
	Right.
	Right?
	Right?
	No.
	This is the Larry Kudlow Show.
	He's back to where he belongs and talking about Taiwan and Ukraine, actually.
	You can bet that Xi and China and the Politburo and so forth are watching this confrontation with a microscope.
	I mean, there's just got the Taiwan thing going.
	I mean, this is, he's not only negotiating with Putin, it seems to me, John Ratcliffe, he's negotiating with Xi indirectly.
	Absolutely.
	We've talked about this.
	Unprecedented aggression by China with respect to Taiwan, and knowing full well that if the United States is preoccupied with an issue on the In Europe, with Ukraine and a Russian invasion there, what better time for the Chinese to move?
	This is something the intelligence community and folks in the Department of Defense that worked for me previously say, you know, is a real concern now.
	And again, this is a result, this is a ripple effect of what happened in Afghanistan.
	There you go.
	Looks to me...
	The imagined events that, you know, for example, the imagined invasion of Ukraine by Russia.
	I have a clip.
	To do policy.
	Yeah, I'd like to hear it.
	It was a rare two-hour face-to-face with an urgent...
	This, by the way, was...
	Putin has my respect.
	Putin decided...
	Right away, oh, I'm going to put this on TV live.
	I don't know if you followed this whole thing, it was great.
	So now Biden all of a sudden had to go live and he had to be, you know, coherent.
	No, man, this thing was beautiful.
	Putin really screwed him with that.
	It was a rare two-hour face-to-face with an urgent agenda to talk Russia out of invading a U.S. ally.
	National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan was with President Biden.
	Well, let's remember that these people are the ones who took over the Ukrainian government.
	And when I say took over, Victoria Nuland specifically.
	Yeah.
	They placed their people in, even in the financial, the minister, the secretary of the treasury, everything.
	Well, I don't know.
	We'll continue.
	I question whether it's beneficial that they're allies, but okay.
	Well, no, they want to be in NATO, and this is really about one thing.
	The U.S. is set to sell and deliver anti-aircraft missiles to Ukraine.
	Russia is saying, oh, yeah?
	Well, let's put 100,000 people here at the border.
	No, you're not going to do that.
	That's what this is fundamentally about.
	It's about anti-aircraft.
	And these people, I will say these people, Victoria Nuland and anyone else like Jake Sullivan, these are crazy people.
	They have been raised on this Russia phobia, which my uncle grew up with and which they stung.
	Still to this day, and I understand, you know, that's been passed down from generation to the next generation.
	Oh, duck and cover.
	We're all going to die.
	The Russians are going to nuke D.C. But they're nuts about it.
	And there's a whole gas component with Nord Stream 2 and Germany and control, basically controlling Europe.
	And it's very, very short-sighted what they're doing.
	They're stupid.
	National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan was with President Biden for the call.
	He told President Putin directly that if Russia further invades Ukraine, the United States and our European allies would respond with strong economic measures.
	This is what has the White House concerned.
	Close to 100,000 Russian troops now amassed at the Ukrainian border.
	Ukraine, a large former Soviet republic, wants to join the U.S. and most of Europe in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
	In a statement after today's meeting, the Kremlin argued it is NATO that is making dangerous attempts to expand into the Ukrainian territory.
	Putin is calling for legally fixed guarantees, excluding the expansion of NATO in the eastern direction.
	President Biden said no.
	President Biden made that point crystal clear to President Putin today.
	There's Vicky!
	The issue of who joins NATO is an issue for NATO to decide.
	Testifying on Capitol Hill, Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland warned the Ukrainians themselves may rise up if Russia attacks.
	I think the Russians will have a very big fight on their hands, that there will be severe casualties for them.
	What was Putin's demeanor over the course of the two hours?
	Did he signal any willingness to back down?
	I would say that his demeanor, like President Biden's demeanor, was direct and straightforward, and President Putin was deeply engaged, and I'm going to leave it at that in terms of trying to characterize where he is.
	Where...
	Edward Joseph Snowden.
	Oh, oops.
	No, that's the wrong one.
	That's supposed to be Victoria Kagan Noodleman.
	Well, for those of you who don't remember Victoria Kagan Noodleman, neocon extraordinaire, geocon, this is the last time she was dealing with Russia and Ukraine, in Ukraine.
	While I'm driving off laughing, this is what I'll say.
	Fuck the EU.
	I think there's another issue at play.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	Whores.
	Whores?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Whores.
	You have my attention.
	You have my attention.
	The Ukraine is the main source of hookers for both Russia.
	Yes.
	And the Russians are cheap.
	The Ukraine girls really knock me out.
	The Ukraine girls are something.
	And so they were going to Russia.
	Russia wants access.
	And the Ukraine girls are smart enough to know they can get to Amsterdam, any place but Russia where they're cheap.
	And getting to Europe, they're better off.
	And so they're going to, they're trying to get to, and the Europeans, you know, don't mind, I guess.
	They're going to, you know, push them into the EU, which is really the long-term goal, and have the free and open borders.
	If they get passports, fake passports for these girls, boom, they'll just flood Europe.
	Yeah.
	And that's, what's the problem?
	The problem is the girls are not flooding Europe yet.
	No, because these girls can flood Europe as far as I'm concerned.
	I'm just looking at some Ukraine girls.
	Just a little reminder.
	When you go to Amsterdam, they tell you most recently that all the whores that are working those little booze all over the place.
	Sex workers, John.
	Sex workers.
	All the sex workers that are working the little booze all over the place are Russians.
	They're not Russians.
	They're all Ukrainians.
	Yeah.
	A lot of Croatians, too, actually.
	But what's interesting about the Ukrainian sex work, I grew up in Amsterdam, so I understand I have a little bit of standing.
	Just a little bit of standing.
	You have a lot of standing.
	No, I have a little standing.
	Although you're not standing when you're in one of those boots.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we got it.
	But you can always see in the eyes.
	The eye shows that they're from kind of the Russian, more Eastern.
	Anyway, you never cease to amaze me, John C. Dvorak, with your thinking.
	Whores.
	It's just a known fact.
	So what's kind of interesting about shifting from China to Russia, earlier in the week, Putin announced a military partnership between Russia and India.
	Two days later, India's military chief and 12 others are killed in a helicopter crash.
	You think we?
	I have no idea.
	I'm just saying that I've learned that coincidences of this magnitude are usually not coincidences.
	I think it's us.
	Yeah?
	Yeah.
	It could be anybody, but...
	It's not a bad point, not to say that.
	Because it's like, well, you know, I thought you guys were going to be friends.
	Modi was, you know, budding up to our administrations, starting with Trump.
	And it's like, are you going to do a deal with these guys?
	What, are you kidding me?
	Right, knock them off.
	Well, it definitely sends a signal.
	Sends a message.
	Sends a message.
	Just so you know, guys, we're thinking about you.
	Mm-hmm.
	Yes.
	Well, let's go to Seattle for a minute to look at the nuttiness there.
	Seattle.
	So, Seattle.
	I got Seattle vandalism.
	Now, what's happened in Seattle, because they have, you know, this is the most liberal town in the country, and they won't prosecute anybody.
	They just let everyone go.
	You know, no bail and all the rest.
	So they had this crazy incident at the courthouse, the Seattle courthouse, where some guy's busting up the windows with rocks.
	He's just throwing rocks at all the windows.
	They can't seem to arrest him, even though he's right out in front and he was doing it for two hours.
	Let's listen to Rance, the guy who is the, which is a great phony name, Rance, who is the talk show host in the Seattle area.
	He's always on Tucker's show.
	And here he is on his show.
	And you know, I noticed these radio guys.
	They have these huge pauses.
	They do everything they can to stretch out their segments.
	I personally like pauses.
	You don't like pauses this long.
	Now, according to this memo, it was written by Stephanie Sato.
	She's a senior deputy prosecuting attorney.
	It was a memo that went out after a couple of incidents on November 24th concerning safety.
	Over at the courthouse in downtown Seattle, she emailed staff with a little first, sort of a recap of what happened.
	The first incident involved a suspect using rocks trying to break nine courthouse windows.
	And I believe he did, in fact, end up breaking nine of the courthouse windows.
	And it happened across two hours, and yet somehow the courthouse security wasn't able to intervene.
	Police were called...
	But guess what?
	SPD has a staffing crisis.
	This is not the biggest emergency that they were dealing with at the time.
	So by the time they actually arrived, the suspect had already jumped on a bus and left the area.
	I wonder if he paid for that bus.
	Probably not.
	However, this dumb, dumb suspect decided to return.
	He broke five more windows.
	This time, SPD was able to get there, but again, the man had left by the time they got there.
	He remains at large.
	Now, the second incident was of greater concern.
	Workers for the courthouse, for the Superior Court, they noticed what they thought was a bullet hole in one of the windows on the second floor.
	It was not actually a bullet hole.
	It was just a result of what they believe was a slingshot of a...
	It was like Dennis the Menace.
	Wow, you're right, man.
	Could have done without those pauses.
	I kept the pauses out.
	I was growing roots.
	I kept the pauses out.
	I still couldn't.
	This is all these talk show guys.
	I was thinking about this after you did these two clips.
	That, you know, Rush Limbaugh is a good example of this, but all these guys who do radio, Hannity, they do three hours, and it's like probably about a half an hour of what our show does.
	Yeah, they have a half hour of content that they repeat over three hours with 24 minutes of ads.
	It's just unbelievable.
	And they make millions, millions of dollars.
	Limbo had a contract for $400 million.
	Here is the second half of this discussion.
	Due to glass shortages, it will take approximately six to eight weeks before all the windows are repaired.
	We have a shortage on glass?
	We have a shortage on everything.
	Oh, he has a sidekick.
	Biden's America, baby.
	Now, according to this memo...
	The Superior Court is now pushing for new security measures.
	It says, quote, We wanted to make sure you all got this information as soon as it came to our attention.
	The Superior Court is working with FMD, that is the facilities management department, to explore the possibility of installing bulletproof windows.
	And the prosecuting attorney's office will also advocate for this.
	Now, I reached out to the office of Dan Satterberg, and he confirms, the spokesperson confirmed that, quote, the prosecutor's office will also advocate for this.
	Now, this is not the first time that staffers over in downtown at the courthouse have demanded safety measures.
	In fact, these concerns have been ongoing for years, but these concerns were made worse because By a dangerous homeless encampment that Seattle officials allowed to grow right next door.
	We've talked about it before.
	City Hall Park, which was overrun with homeless.
	And it was allowed to stay there despite being the site of a murder.
	The kicking death of a dog, drug overdoses, frequent fights.
	And then of course in August, there was a rally to try to bring attention to this because just days before, a lawyer was allegedly attacked and nearly raped by a nude homeless man who was camped out inside of the woman's bathroom in the county courthouse.
	Well, I didn't realize how bad it was.
	So Seattle has.
	They've got homeless people accosting people.
	They've got people shooting all over the place.
	And they got this guy to listen to on the radio?
	Seattle is bad, man.
	Shit's bad.
	So I guess some homeless guys camped out in the woman's bathroom in the courthouse, raped a lawyer.
	It's just ludicrous.
	Yeah.
	Well, you know, in Los Angeles, do you know a very, very famous guy, Avant?
	What was the last guy's name?
	Clarence Avant.
	In fact, I think he was just inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
	He's a huge music guy.
	Goes way back.
	You want to make it in the music business, you've got to talk to Clarence.
	His wife was shot to death by a home robber in Beverly Hills.
	Yeah, this is news in a couple weeks.
	And so what's happening now is, because it's so lawless everywhere, they're putting those little Apple tags on people's cars.
	So they'll see someone shopping on Rodeo.
	You get a little, what is that called?
	The air spot, the air doohickey, whatever it's called.
	Air tag, air tag, air tag.
	So you get your tag, you stick it on the car, and then you follow the car home.
	Then you know where they live, and they get out of the car, and you rob them.
	And that's happening in Hancock Park.
	Oh, I haven't heard this.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	That's a great bit.
	It's fantastic.
	Let me see if there's Los Angeles Police Chief Michael Moore.
	So you go to Rodeo Drive.
	Yep.
	You find somebody, drive up their Bentley or whatever it is, and some woman, she comes up with a lot of packages.
	You've already tagged her.
	Mm-hmm.
	And then you just follow her home and follow her through the gate even.
	Yeah.
	And then, yeah, then boost her.
	She got boosted.
	And boosted and blasted.
	Let's see.
	Her death came weeks after Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star.
	Dorit Kemsley was held up at gunpoint.
	Terrence Jenkins, TV host, actor, I don't know who it is.
	So they have a follow-home task force now, the police do.
	And the sheriff says the only thing we're sure of is people are targeting people displaying wealth.
	People with Rolex watches, expensive jewelry, purses, driving high-end cars.
	Yeah.
	It's a great development.
	Play this clip.
	This is kind of related.
	This is thieves released in Contra Costa County.
	Two suspects arrested for participating in a smash-and-grab robbery are released.
	California County is investigating why.
	NTD's Eileen Egg has more.
	The Contra Costa County Sheriff's Department in California is investigating why two suspects involved in the Walnut Creek Nordstrom robbery were released.
	Three suspects were arrested during the smashing grab involving 90 people.
	According to ABC 7 News, one pleaded not guilty and is still in custody after a court hearing on Monday.
	The other two have already been released.
	When the reporter called one of the suspect's mother about another court appearance on Tuesday, she said he did not know about it and that he was accidentally released from jail.
	According to the Contra Costa County District Attorney on November 24th, they faced felony charges of conspiracy, burglary, robbery, and organized retail theft.
	The District Attorney told us to direct all questions to the Sheriff's Department, which did not respond by deadline.
	A reminder that this is being allowed because the people in charge of running the city, the state, the county, they're looting too.
	So they feel that people at the bottom should be able to loot.
	So get out, loot some more.
	It's insane.
	Guilt trip.
	San Francisco sees 3,000 car break-ins in the last month.
	3,000?
	Holy crap, that's great.
	In Oregon, this is part of the Build Back Better plan, y'all.
	The governor in Oregon, Kate Brown, has signed a law to allow Oregon students to graduate without proving they can write or do math.
	And at White, California, let's check out Oakland.
	What a fun topic with the kids at breakfast this morning to talk about.
	Students in Oakland will no longer be able to receive a D or an F in school.
	What do we think about this?
	If a student fails a test or doesn't turn in homework, they will now have a chance to retake that test or they will have more time to complete that assignment.
	Oakland is responding to the impact of the pandemic saying, Officials saying they want to help students re-engage in school after distance learning and the hope is that this will help them learn the material rather than derail their future with some bad grades.
	Now this is a big shift in how to assess students so school officials say it won't happen overnight.
	They're going to gradually phase it in and move toward this new system so the parents, students, and the teachers have some time to understand what is expected of them and to buy in on this change.
	But they hope this will encourage students to take risks and to learn from their mistakes.
	I know.
	You know, encourage them to take risks.
	And learn from their mistakes.
	How about firing the teachers?
	How about firing the whole school board for these crazy, horrible Zoom classes, which did not work?
	How about putting cameras in the classroom?
	Now you're talking.
	Let's do that.
	I'm with that now, actually.
	And my favorite story, and then we can take a break.
	Twelve...
	No longer...
	Maybe 13 years ago, I lived, I had a condo, the Curry Condo in San Francisco, and it was situated right next to the Tower of Doom.
	So I've always kept tabs on the Tower of Doom, because the Tower of Doom, when I lived next door, it was being constructed, had windows popping out.
	I think it was at the time the tallest building west of the Mississippi, known as the Millennium Tower.
	No, I know.
	I don't want to correct you here, but the Tower of Doom, which is the tower that was where you were, is not the Millennium Tower.
	What was I living next to then?
	You were living next to the Tower of Doom.
	What's the Millennium Tower then?
	The Millennium Tower is about five blocks away from where you were.
	In the other direction.
	Well, that's disappointing.
	Yeah.
	No, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, John.
	This is my first place.
	No, you're wrong.
	I had a condo.
	This is the previous.
	It was right across the street from it.
	You're incorrect.
	You're thinking about the place that got taken away by the bus station.
	No, no, I'm not.
	I'm thinking about the place that you can see from the Mevio offices.
	It was called the Tower of Doom.
	It was a big, tall building right where your place was, or nearby.
	It wasn't across the street.
	The Millennium Tower is really over by a bunch of other buildings.
	Okay, well, then that's too bad because I wanted to see that one fall into the ground in a complete pancake.
	The Millennium Tower would take out half of downtown if it fell over.
	It's coming.
	Here at the Millennium Tower, crews are in the process of installing test piles down to bedrock.
	They're using methods to limit settlement during the so-called fix of the already-leaning luxury high-rise in downtown San Francisco.
	So far this year, monitoring data released by the city shows the tower has sunk Nearly two more inches at one corner and is now leaning over two feet out at the northwest side.
	And the building sank again during installation of a test pile last month.
	New data shows the tower also tilted a quarter of an inch in just four days.
	And this may explain why.
	It's ground monitoring data from down deep under the building where a layer of clay resides.
	There you can see a sudden fluctuation, reflecting a loss of a dozen feet in the groundwater level near the corner of the building over that four-day period.
	I love this.
	This is hilarious.
	It's been going on for a number of years.
	I know.
	There's a bunch of hot shots.
	Those apartments are a million dollars per house.
	Dude, apartments in Austin are a million per.
	That's not very...
	I bet it's more than a million.
	Okay.
	Yes, this is true.
	In fact, there's studios in San Francisco that are a million per.
	I was going to say, that's not all that much.
	But I'm talking about during the investment period, five, six, seven, eight.
	When this project began, things weren't that expensive.
	And people bought in, before it was built, at very high prices, a million and up.
	I'll say that.
	Mm-hmm.
	Including a lot of famous people in the San Francisco Bay Area that were talked into this.
	Can they all be in there?
	It'd be great.
	Joe Montana is one of them.
	And...
	So this is...
	I don't know what they're going to do about this because it's surrounded by buildings.
	It was doing just fine and a permit came by for a building next to it that screwed up the foundation of the whole city, it seems.
	I don't know.
	This is a nightmare.
	Oh, I know what they have to do.
	There's a very simple plan for this.
	When you have a problem with a skyscraper, all you got to do is have a plane fly into it and have it pancake.
	I'm going to show myself old by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
	You know, I think that trick's been pulled and, uh, well, you won't be seeing it again.
	Mm-hmm.
	All right, we got Rod McCauley.
	You got to read this note, because he's going to be a knight.
	Yes, I do have to read his notes.
	And this is, he came with 150 bucks from North Little Rock, Arkansas.
	Here we go.
	In the morning, John and Adam, my donation of $150 qualifies me for knighthood.
	I would like to be knighted as Sir Fat Dad of the BM Mexicans.
	Ha, ha.
	I'm a 51-year-old fat dad, and I race BMX bikes like a kid.
	I just got a visual.
	I've seen you.
	I think I've seen you in downtown Austin.
	He's actually from North Little Rock, Arkansas.
	Just to be clear, it's not that jumping or flipping BMX. It's the racing kind.
	It's much better for your heart.
	It's the best sport ever.
	Okay.
	And I'm sure that all the exercise I've been getting since I got off the couch at 40 years old to race with my two human resources played a part in my quick recovery from COVID back at the end of 2020.
	My family and I recently attended the Grand Nationals, BMX in Tulsa.
	He says I don't have to read this.
	He talks about how they took ivermectin, etc., etc., etc.
	Can I get...
	Oh, he wants a Sharpton compilation.
	A foamer trains...
	Oh, my God.
	We already did a Sharpton, so I'll give you a Shorty Sharpton.
	Hold on a second.
	Where else?
	I'll give you a Shorty Sharpton.
	He wants...
	Foamer, trains good, planes bad.
	Boogity for my smoking hot wife.
	I hit her in the mouth on a road trip earlier this year, and since she works in healthcare, she was immediately hooked.
	Also, some jobs karma with...
	Oh, come on!
	Come on!
	It's too much!
	On the legal...
	Thank you for all you do.
	The show is amazing.
	Love is lit.
	Rob, you can't have 18 jingles.
	Okay, we'll do some of it then.
	I know how we can stop this trend.
	How can we stop this trend?
	If anyone asks for more than four, they get none.
	Ooh, that's very harsh.
	Yes, it's very harsh.
	I would have to say it's kind of on the harsh side.
	All right, and we've got a train's good, train's bad.
	Here we go.
	All right, we can do this for you though.
	R-E-S-P-I-C-T. Oh, my God!
	Woo!
	Listen to that horn!
	All aboard, trains good, planes bad.
	Woo-hoo!
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs.
	Joe.
	You've got karma.

	Use some utensils, will you guys?
	My goodness.
	Good to have you all here.
	That's why.
	No dame.
	They're eating like crazy on the mutton.

	Always.
	And thank you for supporting the No Agenda Show, the best podcast in the universe.
	No Agenda Meetups.
	We have, oddly enough, no meetup reports in audio form.
	Did get a quick one from the Fraser Valley British Columbia meetup from Kelly and Sarah Klassen.
	I don't want to give a quick meetup report from Saturday, December 4th in Abbotsford, B.C. This was the first meetup any of us had attended, and a good time was had by all.
	Only one beer was spilled during the event, and a big shout-out to Scott for the longest distance traveled.
	The attendees included one night, two executive producers, two douchebags, and two people we have repeatedly hit in the mouth.
	We have received a number of emails since from other slaves in the area who heard about the meetup after it was over, so we expect a good turnout at the next one in January, as long as Bonnie doesn't lock us down over Omicron.
	Thanks for keeping it real, Kelly and Sarah, and thank you two very much.
	It was great.
	Here's what's coming up meetup-wise.
	Today at 6 o'clock, the Colorado Springs Local 719 takes place and organizes and meets at the Pike Peak Brewing.
	Tomorrow, the Western Pennsylvania First Periodic Meetup, 5.30 p.m.
	at 11th Frame Bar and Grill in Butler, Pennsylvania.
	Also on Friday, the apartment gathering of many households.

	It's at 7.30.
	I think details will be on noagendameetups.com.
	Saturday, the Green Bay Meetup, 3.33 p.m.
	the magic time at Simonette.
	I have to interrupt this one.
	Finish reading and then I have a few things to say.
	Okay.
	December 11th, the Green Bay Meetup, 3.33 at Simonette's Bar.
	That is in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
	Screw your freedoms, 11.30 in the morning.
	Wait, wait.
	I was going to talk about the Green Bay Meetup.
	Oh, I didn't know what you were interrupting for.
	Yes, Green Bay meetup.
	Tell me.
	Supposedly on this, they kept hounding Mimi.
	I thought it was on the note she sent that Aaron Rodgers is invited because the Green Bay community has the belief that he listens to no agenda.
	The Aaron Rodgers?
	The Aaron Rodgers, the famous football quarterback who makes a lot of money.
	And he's so rich, in fact, he owns the Chicago Bears football team.
	Aaron Rodgers?
	Really?
	That's what he says.
	I don't know if it's true or not.
	But if he listens, he's never donated.
	He's loaded to the gills.
	He's a douchebag.
	They want him to come to this meetup in Green Bay, which you can check the details on noagendameetups.com.
	Yeah, I would have to say, I've been a fan of his since he was at the University of California, and he's one of the best quarterbacks they've ever had.
	He's one of the most accurate pastors ever.
	I'd have to call him out as a douchebag.
	Ooh!
	Wow.
	He may have actually got the...
	If he does listen to the show, that may be where he got his anti-mRNA vaccine.
	Right.
	Smart.
	Intelligence.
	Well, he went to Cal.
	He's got to be somewhat smart.
	But I looked and couldn't find any reference.
	I doubt he listens to the show, but he might.
	And if he does, he's a douchebag.
	Hence the interruption.
	All right.
	Well, worth it.
	So, go meet Aaron Rodgers.
	Go ahead.
	He'll be autographing footballs.
	Yes, he'll be autographing footballs.
	Rex and Fifi and Lee and Laura will be taking care of him personally.
	Alright, that's Saturday the 11th, 3.33pm, Simonette's Bar.
	Also on Saturday, Screw Your Freedoms.
	This is in Cleveland Central, which is in Brisbane.
	That's in Queensland.
	You'll need a pass, I guess.
	I don't know how that works, but check it out.
	I don't know how that works.
	We'll figure that out.
	Also on Saturday, the Sat X December Meetup.
	That's San Antonio.
	Sat X at Big Hops.
	That'll be at 3 o'clock.

	Bring your spook friend.
	There will be many others there, organized by Dame J, protector of Pandas and Jen Jones.
	And that's it.
	If you want to know more about these meetups, what they're, you know...
	Where you can find them, how you can organize one.
	We have a great website.
	It's called noagendameetups.com.
	I saw that meetups.com, meetup.com, the site we left in screaming horror, they were down from the Amazon.
	Oh, they were on, yeah, they're using AWS. That's why I immediately went to noagendameetups.com and went, yes, that's how it should be.
	That's how it should be.
	Check it out.
	NoagendaMeetups.com.
	Guaranteed every single one is just like a party.
	Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
	You want to be where you won't be.
	Triggered on hell's flame.
	You want to be where everybody feels the same.
	It's like a party.
	All right.
	ISOs.
	I've got two.
	I have two as well.
	I got two.
	I got two.
	Okay, well, let's play your two.
	Okay, here's my first one.
	It gets really...
	Oops, hold on.
	That's not my first one.
	This is my first one.
	Now that is powerful.
	Yeah, it's a little long.
	Here's the second one.
	It gets really huge.
	That's Becky Worley, by the way.
	It didn't sound like her.
	It gets really huge.
	Now I sound as if I listen.
	Yeah, maybe.
	Okay, I've got important.
	It is important.
	Correct pronunciation.
	Surprising.
	Yeah.
	And then I've got kook.
	Where did this come from?
	Some kook?
	That's the one.
	There's no argument with that.
	You knew it.
	That's why you had me play that one second.
	Of course.
	That's the way it works.
	You do the same thing.
	I'm professional.
	That important thing came from Kamala Harris, who was giving a speech on the Maternal Health Day of Action, December 7th.
	What is his naming, his nomenclature?
	Maternal Health Day of Action.
	Like, what's this action word doing in there?
	It would be like, in the olden days, it would be Maternal Health Day Awareness.
	Oh, yeah, that's a good point.
	Or Maternal Health Awareness Day.
	I think Maternal Health Awareness Day.
	But Maternal Health Day of action is a socialist construction.
	That's the way the commies talk.
	Now, it's maternal, maternal.
	Yeah, maternal.
	As in mother.
	Yeah.
	As in birthing person.
	Yeah, birthing person.
	That's what it should be.
	Birthing person.
	Not mother.
	Birthing comrade.
	Birthing comrade.
	Woo!
	Now you're talking.
	I'm writing that one down.
	Birthing comrade.
	Hmm.
	Now, she gives a speech which is like, it's just, I've never heard such blather.
	She doesn't come out that much, so I'm going to clip her when I see her.
	And you might want to listen to this.
	It's not that long, but it's like, what is she talking about?
	And what is the clip?
	Camel and Maternal Health got it.
	This challenge is urgent.
	And it is important.
	And it will take all of us.
	And to put it simply, here's how I feel about this.
	In the United States of America, in the 21st century, being pregnant and giving birth should not carry such great risk.
	But the truth is women in our nation...
	And this is a hard truth.
	Women in our nation are dying.
	I'm sorry.
	Is there a soft truth?
	Well, that's a hard truth.
	I don't know what the other kind of truths are.
	In our nation.
	This is a hard truth.
	It's a hard truth.
	And this is a hard truth.
	Does that mean like it's hard to believe it?
	I have no idea what it means.
	Women in our nation are dying.
	Before, during, and after childbirth, women in our nation are dying at a higher rate than any other developed nation in our world.
	And when we know that, for some women, the risk is much higher.
	When we know that, we should do something about it.
	Okay.
	You're the vice president.
	Black women are three times as likely to die from pregnancy-related complications.
	We should do something about that.
	When we know that Native American women are more than twice as likely to die from pregnancy-related complications, we've got to do something about that.
	I'm waiting for her to say Native American women are twice as likely to die from complications of giving birth than men.
	I mean, that's the line.
	That's what you need to deliver, Cam.
	When we know that Native American women are more than twice as likely to die from pregnancy-related complications, we've got to do something about that.
	When women who live in rural America, which has many maternal care deserts, meaning there are no maternal care facilities, and when we know that women in rural America, for that and other reasons, are about 60% more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications, We need to do something about that.
	Is this one of these yes-we-can type deals where, oh my God, Kamala, it was so great.
	You kept saying, we need to do something about that.
	It's like a catchphrase now.
	It's really God.
	So the question on my mind as I listen to this is, who is we?
	And why don't you do something about it?
	You moved your way up to the Vice Presidency of the United States of America, and you're talking about these generalities.
	Why don't you do something?
	Why don't you, you, Kamala, why don't you do something?
	What have you done?
	Nothing.
	Ah!
	Well, according to the second theory, if Kamala gets kicked out, she could get moved and nominated to the Supreme Court if we have someone drop out.
	She's an idiot.
	So, by the way, what is this maternal health?
	This is the new thing, of course.
	It's now maternal health.
	It's not...
	Unborn child, fetus, abortion, pro-choice, pro-life, no, maternal health.
	Which I believe, and that's why I think it's interesting that birthing comrade makes more sense.
	You can't use maternal.
	You can't.
	She's now presumed.
	Birthing comrade health day of action.
	I think just birthing comrade is good enough for me.
	I'm liking that.
	Comrade.
	Comrade.
	We gotta go.
	So, I will play one last clip.
	Very short, but it proves dogs are people too.
	And I would know now.
	Next, scientists in the UK are telling cat lovers something they probably already know.
	Yes, because cats are the problem.
	Your feline friends are likely psychopaths.
	Researchers surveyed cat owners about their pets' habits, such as whether they pick fights with other cats or play with their prey before killing it, and they found most cats have psychopathic tendencies.
	One researcher said the habits likely help your pet's ancestors hunt and mate.
	Yep, cats are psychopaths.
	Everybody knows that.
	Well, I just thought it was fun that there's now science.
	Science.
	Science.
	That will be it for today.
	Remember to watch Michael Stray and In Space tomorrow, everybody.
	That should be fun.
	And coming up next on No Agenda Stream, we have Bowl After Bowl.
	Another fine 2.0 certified podcast.
	End of show mix comes from Louis Kovic.
	And that's a pretty good one.
	Short, but that's kind of what the show was today with contributions.
	And we will gladly see you on Sunday as I come to you from the heart of Texas Hill Country in FEMA Region No.
	6 in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I'm going to go downstairs and have some more A2 milk to round things out.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We return on Sunday right here with your favorite media deconstruction.
	Remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA. We'll see you then, everybody.
	Until then, adios, mofos!
	and such.
	You don't want to miss this one.
	It's true.
	It's real.
	It's true.
	It's really real.
	The ghosts?
	All those ghosts are masked.
	Look at them.
	Look at them.
	They all have masks on their noses.
	Because it's not happening!
	Really, it's true.
	You can't believe this, man.
	It's real.
	This is not happening.
	Really, it's true.
	This is reality.
	It's real!
	We just asked the guy why they do it, and they showed us their own mask, and they said, Shut up already!
	Science!
	Really.
	They all have masks on their noses.
	You can't believe this, right?
	They all have masks on their noses.
	Really, it's true.
	This is reality.
	Shut up already.
	It's science.
	Really, it's true.
	This is reality.
	Shut up already.
	Science.
	The best podcast in the universe.
	Dvorak.org slash NA Where did this come from?
