This is your award-winning Kimbo Nation Media assassination episode 1413.
This is no agenda.
CDC says it's no agenda 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 everybody has COVID, although they're all vaccinated, I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Craig Vaughn and Buzzkill in the morning.
Yep, yep, yep, yep.
It's happening everywhere.
Well, my daughter Jay has COVID. Ooh, it's not polite to ask.
Her boyfriend Brennan has COVID. It's not polite to ask, but...
His dad has COVID. Wait, are all these people vaccinados?
No.
Jay and Brennan are vaccinated.
Mm-hmm.
And the dad isn't.
And they have more extreme...
He blew through it because it was like a common cold.
Those two are sick.
That's horrible.
How sick are they?
Okay?
Nobody wants to report this.
It's observable.
Yeah.
Well, no one wants to report it, but they've lost control of the narrative.
Did you see the hashtag CDC says that just went nuts on the 1st of January yesterday?
No.
So what's happening is people started to go, hold on a second.
What's this?
You go from 10 days to 5 days and, you know, so then Joe Rogan comes out with Malone, talks about mass formation hypnosis and psychosis and all these other things.
And so all of a sudden, someone starts this hashtag CDC says.
I shall give you some examples.
CDC says you can go into the light.
CDC says you can now wipe back to front.
CDC says if you shake more than twice, you're just playing with it.
This went on for hundreds of thousands of tweets.
It was phenomenal to watch.
And of course, now it's been suppressed.
Now it doesn't show up in trending or anything, but I thought that was a tipping point for me.
Shut it down!
It was a tipping point, man.
People all of a sudden...
Yes, yes, yes.
And yes, it is.
And people are starting...
This mass formation psychosis clip of Rogan and Malone, viral.
It's really...
And it's not being taken off anywhere.
It's unbelievable.
And...
What's...
I don't know about you, but to see that clip, I had to go to...
Not only...
It was on YouTube.
It's on YouTube.
It's on Twitter.
It's everywhere.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
It's everywhere.
It won't be there for long.
It doesn't really matter.
People have seen it.
People are talking about it.
You can clearly see tweets of people.
Here's what people are doing wrong.
We don't have to go into it, but you get a Scott Adams who is now realizing it was all bullcrap.
The vaccines don't work.
CDC says it was a big lie.
People are now starting to backtrack.
And they're having difficulty because they're coming out of...
It's like you're being birthed.
You're coming out of this gooey slime of entrapment that these people were stuck in and they're slowly coming out only to see people on the other side going, Hey man, you piece of crap!
This is the wrong approach.
Also, people don't say, yeah, no agenda show had that like months ago.
Wrong approach.
That's just a fact.
It is a fact, but it's the wrong approach.
Give these people some love.
They're just figuring this out, and they're coming out of this horrible state, and then...
What they get is, be more like Trinity in The Matrix, you know?
Be a little more friendly.
Help them through.
Show them how the phone works.
That kind of stuff.
It's just baffling.
Now we're getting him.
He's backtracking.
Let's nail him to the wall!
No.
No.
I say yes.
You're like Tina.
She's like, I say tribunals!
Really?
You're the one talking about shaving their heads and walking them down the street.
Yes, the collaborators, but not those who were...
I mean, Scott Adams is harmless.
Although, you could argue his...
No, you're supposed to say good things about him before he says anything bad.
Yeah, that's the trick.
That's the trick.
Let everyone...
You know what?
Let's just play that real quick.
because it was so beautiful, so succinct, so short and simple, although a little bit oversimplified.
This is the de-platformed Dr. Malone about mass formation psychosis.
...from basically European intellectual inquiry into what the heck happened in Germany in the 20s and 30s.
Very intelligent, highly educated population, and they went barking mad.
And how did that happen?
The answer is mass formation psychosis.
When you have a society that has become decoupled from each other and has free-floating anxiety and a sense that things don't make sense, we can't understand it, and then their attention gets focused by a leader or a series of events on one small point, just like hypnosis, They literally become hypnotized and can be led anywhere.
And one of the aspects of that phenomena is the people that they identify as their leaders, the ones typically that come in and say, you have this pain and I can solve it for you.
I and I alone can fix this problem for you.
Then they will follow that person.
It doesn't matter whether they lie to them or whatever.
The data are irrelevant.
And furthermore, anybody who questions that narrative is to be immediately attacked.
They are the other.
This is central to mass formation psychosis.
And this is what has happened.
We had all those conditions.
If you remember back before, 2019, everybody was complaining, the world doesn't make sense, blah, blah, blah.
And we're all isolated from each other.
We're all on our little tools.
We're not connected socially anymore, except through social media.
And then this thing happened and everybody focused on it.
That is how mass formation psychosis happens.
And that is what's happened here.
The only thing I disagree with is analysis.
And by the way, I'm still, because that was my whole point, I'm still so irked that a known hypnotic trick used in hospital settings to operate on people who can't have anesthesia was not understood by our trained hypnotist.
But what I disagree with here is he's saying, well, then someone has to come along and say, I have the solution, and then everyone follows that person.
The true theory says that when you have a solution like masking or vaccines, vaccines where you have a path, and that is a social cohesion around an act or a thing, not necessarily a person.
I think that's a little oversimplified, but it can indeed happen.
And this went viral.
This was great.
Google started throwing errors on people searching for mass formation psychosis.
I have a screenshot.
I need it for the newsletter.
Good, I got it.
It's in the show notes.
About 10,400,000 results.
0.28 seconds.
It looks like these results are changing quickly.
If this topic is new, it can sometimes take time for results to be added by reliable sources.
They couldn't handle it.
It was really cool.
See, this is why I think you're wrong about tipping points.
That's an example.
The media is just going to go right after this whole thing.
Oh, the media already is.
Line back up.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Well, of course.
But, yes, it's a pincer movement.
It's online.
It's the mainstream.
And so he headlines like...
This is my favorite.
Anti-vaxxer told Rogan, America is like Nazi Germany.
Yeah, I mean...
That's pretty good, right?
What I did do, and I put in the show notes...
He's not an anti-vaxxer.
No, of course he's not.
I want to stop you for one second and talk about this guy for a second, Maloon.
I think he's a spook.
And I think it...
I did think it before.
When I first saw him go through his rigmarole, I actually played it one of his earliest clips.
I remember.
You also said he was full of shit a couple times.
And then after a period, I thought he was full of shit.
And I think a lot of it had to do with the fact that he was taking credit as the inventor.
Yeah, which is not entirely true.
I mean, he was...
He was one of many.
He said it.
And then he backed off and said, I had some patents.
If it wasn't for my patents, it wouldn't have been invented.
And so he figured that was, okay, good enough.
And that's what he's kind of like, finally, on the Rogan show, he really backed off.
So he never said he was the inventor.
He says it was Based on many of his principles, which is probably true.
But then I see that white hair and a suit and his best friend is a CIA guy who co-wrote a book with him.
Oh, I didn't know any of this.
It was on the Rogan show.
He talked about this book he wrote.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
CIA agent.
And I'm looking at him.
He's got the gray hair.
Now, where did that come from?
All of a sudden, he's got the gray, perfect, you know, that coiffed gray CIA hair.
Well, he's ex-CIA because today's CIA is woke, brown, and has mental issues.
I think that's the CIA front people.
Okay.
They're just a bunch of phonies.
So he's got the hair, and he wore a suit to the Joe Rogan show with a tie, even though the tie wasn't a CIA issue.
It was a COVID tie.
Oh, I'm going to do it.
So Joe texted me.
He says, dude, we got to do a podcast.
There's so much shit going on.
I'll wear a suit and tie next time.
Well, you've got to get the white hair, though.
Do a spray!
No!
I'm not going to do that!
You do a spray!
The spray!
The gray spray!
Listen, I'm going to the hairdresser on Tuesday.
I'll ask for a little bit of gray highlights.
What is the right CIA tie, though?
What do I need to have to show that I'm in the club?
I need a little pin, of course.
Take a look at what's his name over at the guy who wrote the Steve Jobs book and keeps cranking these books up.
Okay, that guy.
All right.
Got it.
Asimov?
He's always got the right tie.
He's got...
What's his name?
Asimov.
Asimov.
No, Asimov.
He's got the mutton chops.
That's different.
Yeah.
So...
Maybe let's just do Men in Black.
That would be better.
If that's true, I mean, just on theory, that is CIA... What's going on?
What the hell is happening?
Now I'm completely confused if there's any of this.
Okay, I'll tell you.
Now, this is interesting.
I put it in the show notes, was not even going to bring this up.
Operation Zypher.
Which you spell Z-Y-P-H-R. At first I was all excited because I said Operation Zephyr.
Z-Y? Z-Y. Okay.
P-H-R. I was really excited when I glanced at this.
And this goes back last year.
And this is information that came out from some guy.
Forget where it came from, but this is in essence the theory.
It's a theory.
It's not mine.
But it has been going around.
It's cropped up again.
What's happening now is all part of the New World Order.
I think that's kind of obvious.
And the point is, Israel is supposed to be the capital of the New World Order.
It's all going to come from there.
It's a Zionist movement.
Just bear with me.
That Trump was brought in to shepherd this in.
And as a part of that, they said, look, we're going to make you president.
You're going to get to do all the things you want to do anyway.
And we'll also crown you the king of Israel.
Which was mentioned several times in the press, if you remember, was talking about being the king of Israel.
And that a big purge is coming.
And this purge is binary.
So, vaccinations, mandated vaccinations, and then lots of alternative media that is allowed, that is allowed, so not taken down, particularly from YouTube, but it doesn't really matter where, so that over the course of some time, they can track all the people who are liking and agreeing and commenting on the truth, I hate to say it, but like a Joe Rogan show.
And those are the people who will later be targeted with the kill shot, about 15 to 20% of the population.
And that will be the second part of the binary.
Now, some say it's 5G, which would be just flip on your phone.
Others say it might even be monoclonal antibodies.
And so...
This is very concerning to me when I heard this.
I'm like, shit, man.
And now you add on top of this that here's this spook, possible spook, who's, you know, telling the truth.
Everyone's freaking out.
Everyone's loving it.
And we've all exposed ourselves.
And I'd say just stay away from hot tubs and 5G cell phones.
That's the theory.
Yeah.
Well, let me tell you what I think of that theory.
Yeah.
It's not my theory, so it's not that important to me.
No, I'm not talking to you.
I'm talking to the guy who wrote it.
You know, there's a lot of quality fiction writers out there that have better things to do to create this stuff.
And go write a good book instead of putting this out there.
It's useless.
So what is going on with this guy?
And by the way, remember, Osterholm was at the beginning of this on The Rogan Show.
Another baffling booking.
You know, you gotta, since you're gonna, he wants you to come back on.
Yeah, I'm gonna ask him.
Which is good.
I'm gonna ask him, yeah.
I think that's, you should ask him how he got booked.
Yeah.
No, I will.
Somebody had to book him.
He had to have, it wasn't Rogan's booker.
It has to be somebody who pushed the guy down somebody's throat.
Well, I don't know.
I mean...
Who was going to book Osterholm out of the blue?
It was the same day they booked me.
And it was his booker.
It wasn't Joe Rogan directly.
It was his booker.
His booker.
The first time.
I would be skeptical about the booker.
His booker lived in Colorado.
Hello?
Hello?
What?
Yes.
I've never asked him about it, but I will.
I don't deal with the bookers.
The bookers in Colorado, that's where all the spooks are.
Yes, it just hit me.
It just hit you now?
Yeah.
Of course.
I hadn't considered that.
There you go.
You got it made.
Now you know.
But again, to what end?
To what end?
To what end?
I have no idea.
But I watched it.
I thought Malone was...
He was contrite.
He was really...
He was a good talent.
He was a guy...
He played his cards beautifully.
He did a very good job.
It was a killer job.
And it was a lot of, if not all, of what we've discussed and what we've figured out and what we've gone through, what our producers have done.
But...
Two months ago on the No Agenda show...
There was something new, though.
I don't know if he came up with it, but I'll give him credit for this one.
You know, the pejorative these days is the country's name is actually Fizreal.
It's no longer Israel.
The Israeli people are very compliant with their government.
I love the Fizreal thing.
I miss that for some reason.
Fizreal.
And their government has a financial deal with Pfizer, obviously.
And they only have Pfizer vaccine.
And they're now on jab number four.
There's a natural experiment that's occurring in the Palestinian territory and the surrounding states.
Those surrounding states and the Palestinian territory does not have that level of vaccine uptake at all.
Oopsie!
The mortality in the surrounding states and the Palestinian Authority is substantially less from this virus than the mortality in Israel.
That was a great data point, which I didn't have.
Very spooky to have that.
I don't have that data point either, but it's a good one.
Yeah, it's a really good one.
There's a subtle, he's always not saying it, but there's a subtle implication, although the CEO of Pfizer is an Israeli, that this is an attempt to kill off the Jews.
I didn't think it was that subtle.
Well, the way he played it, I thought it was, well, maybe it wasn't subtle.
It was subtle to me.
Let's get a quick update from Fisrael.
The first case of what is being termed Florona disease was detected in Israel this week.
We could have come up with this name.
How did we miss Florona?
Huh.
Another good one.
Florona disease is a double infection of COVID-19 and influenza.
The first case of Florona was detected in a pregnant woman at the Rabi Medical Center, an Israeli newspaper reported.
Israel has been reporting a steady rise in COVID-19 cases.
On Thursday, the country's health ministry reported 5,000 new COVID cases.
Yeah, I gotta love it.
So, this morning, my phone was doing the proverbial blowing up.
The Netherlands is still under lockdown.
You are not allowed to go outside.
You're supposed to be home.
Yeah.
And people went out en masse to the museum plane in Amsterdam.
The press reported thousands, looked like tens of thousands to me.
So they're breaking the law, and these were just citizens.
They were breaking the law, peacefully assembling, and they got beaten.
Beaten.
There's just video after...
It's scary, John.
It's not funny now.
They're just beating women, children, old people, just...
Just not even trying to push him back.
And they have the extra long sticks?
Do the cops have any conscience whatsoever?
Are they just a bunch of thugs?
They're Nazis at this point.
And they're in mass formation psychosis.
And the thing that's so fucking sad is, you know, how many years have I said that in the Netherlands, New Year's Eve is crazy with the fireworks.
So they banned fireworks.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
You can't set off fireworks because of the lockdown.
Well, of course, everyone has, you know, fireworks.
So they set it off.
It was crazy.
But then you get the Dutch freedom resistance.
Oh, yeah.
Look, fireworks not allowed.
We're showing them who's boss.
No, bitches.
They just beat your ass.
They just beat your ass.
It's incredible.
The police in the United States tend to be more on the other side of this argument.
What do you mean?
I mean, they're not on the side of let's beat anyone protesting COVID. God, no.
They're just the opposite.
They were more likely to back off and say, yeah, well, you're on your own.
What is it about the European police, especially the Dutch in particular, that make them side with the elites?
History, culture, the way it's always been.
Pre-internet.
It's fascinating that the police had no...
Same in France.
Same thing.
The sympathy is not with the people.
No.
No.
It's horrendous.
Now, I was going to say about mass formation psychosis.
I put that in the show notes.
This is all derived...
Let's see.
What's the name of this guy?
From...
Gustave Le Bon.
Gustave Le Bon.
And Gustave Le Bon wrote The Crowd, A Study of the Popular Mind.
He wrote it in like, what was it, 1895 or something.
Yeah, a lot of good sociology.
Yeah, and it's on Project Gutenberg and I had a skim through it last night.
And what he claims there was just kind of hit me as interesting because That, you know, leaders and politics, that's not really what changes stuff.
They don't really do it.
It's the crowd.
The crowd does it.
And the voice of the crowd and how loud they are, I'm paraphrasing clearly.
And that's what the M5M has been.
It's been a representation, a false representation, I think, of the crowd.
Ooh!
That is a good one.
That's a good observation.
The mainstream media.
Yeah, and now that's starting to fall apart with social media, hence the censoring.
The real crowd.
The real crowd, yeah.
We've got to shut up the real crowd.
But the problem is then you have your...
I don't know, gatekeepers of truth, Jack Dorsey and the people over at Google.
In fact, it was interesting that Malone says that before he was kicked off of Twitter, which just happened, I guess, yesterday or the day before, he got kicked off, booted off permanently.
He was already kicked off LinkedIn.
What?
I think he's back.
Who the hell gets kicked off of LinkedIn?
Well, it's quite the social network these days.
It's the worst.
Once in a while, a night or someone withstanding will say, hey man, will you please accept my connection on LinkedIn?
And I reluctantly do it because I know when I open it up, yep, there it is.
8,000 messages, reams of important things flashing, there's red dots with numbers everywhere.
And I just like...
I have routinely accepted everybody's, anyone who's asked me, ever, ever, since day one, I've clicked yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, just to build up my numbers and develop a mailing list, which is the way I do it.
Although they cut that deal off, I have to bitch about that.
I've never had what you described.
Oh, what?
All the numbers and all the updates and everything?
Nothing's ever changed.
Yeah.
Hmm.
Okay.
Well, to me, it's like, I don't want to deal with another network of stuff that I've got to do things for.
I don't use it.
You don't have to do anything.
You just click, click, click.
I have to go there.
I'll tell you what.
Here's the...
Waste of time.
Waste of time.
I've used LinkedIn as research for looking into people's backgrounds or the occasional, gee, do I know this guy?
Oh, yeah, I worked with him, kind of thing.
So, I don't know.
I find LinkedIn kind of useful, except for the, I used to have the premium account where you'd pay five, ten bucks a month, whatever it is, it's too much.
Yeah, I don't do that.
And that's just a rip-off.
Don't do it.
Just do the free.
That's a rip-off.
It's a rip-off.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
I have a new term.
New term.
New term on the horizon with these vaccines not working.
If you're vaccinated, what are we going to call you now?
You're not safe.
You know, it's not working.
Unsafe and spoiled.
Here it comes.
Hospitals across the country, including here in southwest Florida, are reporting a rise in COVID-19 patients.
In today's Your Healthy Family, data shows most of those patients in the hospital are unvaccinated.
But a doctor says other hospitalized patients right now are part of a group called the vaccinated vulnerable.
Dr. Amy Tyron.
And it's alliteration.
Thank you, people.
With the Cleveland Clinic, treats people who are in the hospital with the virus.
She says the vaccinated vulnerable can include the elderly and people who are immunocompromised.
The vaccinated vulnerable are those patients that have received the vaccine, but they have underlying conditions that make them more vulnerable to still getting an infection that may still be severe.
Yeah.
This is...
I wish I didn't make that.
I didn't clip this.
I was saving it for the next show.
But...
They had on one of the local stations, I'll try to clip it, they had this chief medical guy at UCSF in San Francisco, one of the top medical facilities in the state, period.
And he's talking about, what about this, what about that?
And he says, you know, well, the problem is we don't really know because we've been jacked around so much.
Oh, really?
Oh, really?
Yeah.
And, of course, the reporter never says, what do you mean by jacked around?
Which is what I would do immediately.
Well, here's the post you see on Twitter.
I tested positive for COVID, but according to the new protocols, two days later, I can go in and work on patients in the ER. And he says, that's really weird because we just fired, you know, 14% of the workforce for not being vaccinated and working around people.
It's just, it's insane.
And people are figuring it out.
Again, you're on, you know, I've got to say this about you.
I'm an optimist is what you're going to say.
Rosy-eyed.
Optimistic.
You used to wear, people don't know this, but you used to literally wear.
Wear rose-colored glasses, yes.
Yeah.
I found them the other day.
I found them.
And you're wearing them now!
It's not a good look.
I believe in the power.
Rock and roll, look to it.
Yeah.
This is change your words, change your world.
Karma works the same way.
I project, people pick it up, positivity goes to the world, we save the world.
It's my job, sorry.
I only do it two days a week.
Theremin.
So, uh...
So back to this issue.
So the kids have got the COVID and the dad's got the COVID. The dad's not vaccinated.
He's got a mild case.
The kids are vaccinated.
They have a harder case.
They're in bed.
And so I'm talking to Jay and I said, well, you know, she doesn't walk dogs anymore.
She doesn't listen to the show.
So I said, you know, the people who are vaccinated usually have it worse with this Omicron because the vaccine kind of alters the immune system in such a way that they become very vulnerable and it's worse for them than someone non-vaccinated like the old man.
Hmm.
And she says, that doesn't make any sense.
I understand.
Yeah.
Speaking of rose-colored glasses, big tradition, the Rose Parade.
Which is always televised, at least locally, but sometimes across the United States.
It is across the United States, a very famous parade.
Yes, and there was a new float, an award-winning float that came by.
You know how some rose parade floats exist only to entertain or be admired for their ingenuity and beauty, but other rose parade floats slip important messages amongst the flowers and the seeds.
Propaganda.
She's using this futuristic landscape to encourage equity in global vaccination and treatments for COVID-19.
The robot nurse ready to administer vaccines and she gets her orange color from dehydrated carrots and orange lentils.
And her work isn't needed for the people participating in the parade today or attending the parade in the grandstands.
Everyone here has to show proof of vaccination.
And it's also the winner of the Queen Award for the most outstanding presentation of roses.
Every year they come with a different theme, something really relevant, really, really important.
So we very much appreciate the AIDS Healthcare Foundation.
Vaccinate our world.
Vaccinate our world.
All right.
Now, I refuse to allow one more year to go by that you and I don't do a live commentary of something like the Rose Parade so people can watch it on television and listen to us do the commentary.
Sounds good.
We're going to do it this year.
All right.
All right.
Now, I want to mention I have a bunch of clips looking back.
LBs, they're all...
Ooh, looking backs.
Okay, I like it.
And it's all the stuff that took place last year.
But I do have to...
And it's kind of three categories.
And one of them, which is the one I talk about and talk about, and I'm going to...
I'll roll out the other two later, but I'm going to do this one now because you brought this up.
And I keep talking about it, but I haven't any evidence, which is at the beginning of this whole thing, back in the early days of 2021, right after the vaccine was first rolling out, they were talking about, and it turns out, I got the name of the place, it was the People's Vaccine Alliance.
And that was the idea that this should all be public domain and everyone should get the vaccine.
And everybody was in on this for a moment.
Wait a minute.
I'm trying to remember.
Was the People's Vaccine Alliance, did we deconstruct that as to be maybe possibly in pharma's back pocket after all?
No, we never did.
But I think over time they were just captured.
Maybe captured.
Yeah.
So I have three clips on this.
Okay.
And maybe four.
I think there's only three.
Okay.
So here's the promotion that came out, done by the People's Vaccine Alliance.
A lot of this was promoted by Democracy Now!
And this is the LB, People's Vaccine Alliance.
This is Winifred Banima, Executive Director of UNAIDS, in a video produced by the People's Vaccine Alliance.
Huge pharmaceutical companies are keeping the vaccine research a secret.
They're deciding how many vaccines get made, how much to charge for them, and who gets vaccinated.
This will no doubt leave billions of people behind.
Oh, okay.
Before you go further, what I recall from the Vaccine Alliance is that their whole thing was about adjuvants, mercury.
They were not talking about equity and world vaccination crap.
So the sound, I think you may be right.
No, I think that's wrong.
What?
No, I don't think you're right.
Okay.
It was about getting this vaccine out to everybody by releasing intellectual property.
No, but I'm saying when we looked at them in the past, in the past they were talking about adjuvants and squalene and that's where we got a lot of information from.
It was never about this.
Well, that's what it was about.
I'm talking about this moment in time In the early part of 2021, when there was a movement.
I'm talking 10 years ago.
I'm talking a long time ago.
A foot to make these vaccines public domain.
Instead of 30, 40, 60 billion dollars in profits.
And here's a good example right here.
This is the LB, suspend intellectual property clip.
Hold on a second.
Yeah.
This piece you recently wrote in The New York Times, Want Vaccines Fast?
Suspend Intellectual Property Rights.
You're joining us from Bangalore, India.
Can you talk about what that would mean if you suspended intellectual property rights?
Talk about trade secrets.
Talk about patents.
Talk about government subsidies of these private companies.
And how does what's happening now, the development of this vaccine, compare to people's access, for example, to the flu vaccine?
How that was developed and financed.
Thank you, Amy.
Firstly, it's great to be here and thank you for having me.
The piece that we wrote in the New York Times was geared around an event that's unfolding this week and the next.
It doesn't look like it'll get resolved anytime soon or successfully, but that event is a proposal that South Africa and India made at the WTO, at the World Trade Organization, to temporarily suspend a trade rule called TRIPS, which is an agreement on trade-related aspects of intellectual property, the super-governance of intellectual property worldwide, which the WTO takes on.
And the reason India and South Africa suggested that all member countries of the WTO should be exempted from provisions of trips is so that everything that we require to survive the pandemic, the masks, the test kits, but now especially the vaccines, Should be free to be made in as much capacity as possible to get them faster and cheaper to as many people as we can around the world.
There is an overwhelming support from developing countries for this proposal, but the WTO works on consensus, which means that even if five or six very rich countries oppose the proposal, it actually won't pass.
And that's exactly what's happening.
The US, the EU, the UK, and a few other rich countries, as well as inexplicably Brazil.
Yeah, this has always been the World Health Organization's message.
Well, the thing that got me about these when I looked at these old clips, these were all taken from the first two shows of 2021, is that Tedros was all in on this, and you never, and that's ended quick.
I think he's still talking about that.
Well, maybe, but here is the beginning of the year talking about this people's vaccine Tedros.
We simply cannot accept a world in which the poor and marginalized are trampled by the rich and powerful in the stampede for vaccines.
This is a global crisis, and the solutions must be shared equitably as global public goods, not as private commodities that widen inequalities.
I don't want to break your flow, but when that kill children clip, he was talking about the travesty that rich countries were now vaccinating and boosting, but other countries have had nothing.
No, a couple of those clips are mine.
Yeah, he bitches about this, but he never makes it...
To me, this clip is where he makes it very clear that we should...
You have a global pandemic and everyone's freaked out.
You have a solution, supposedly.
We know now that the solution is bogus and only lasts 90 days, which is a birth control pill lasts longer than that.
And...
And the idea was that we should just equitably just release the dogs.
You invented this thing to save the world?
And no, you're going to make $60 billion in profits from it?
90?
I don't know, 60, 90?
I just think that whole, I think the message at that level has been lost.
I don't, that message, I haven't heard that message recently.
Oh, no, no, no, no one cares about it.
Of course not.
That's brown people in poor countries.
Have you seen India?
It's nasty.
Of course, the irony of this, of course, is the situation in Israel.
Yes.
With the brown people across the line.
I'm doing better.
I'm doing better.
Whoops.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's true.
Um...
Let's see...
I think...
I don't really have...
Oh, I actually do have a couple things on COVID. Yeah, you know, we should probably talk about this for a second, because you identified test to stay, and I do have some extra information that goes along with these testing-oriented clips.
Pediatric hospital admissions are at a pandemic high, as school is scheduled to begin again Monday.
Districts across the nation weighing what to do in this COVID surge, some beginning the year online.
Today, Atlanta Public Schools announcing classes will be held virtually next week.
And after learning 25% of the 800 rapid tests administered to staff and students over the break came back positive, all public schools in Yonkers, New York's third largest city, will be remote.
This thing is spreading, especially to the little ones, and more and more kids are hospitalized.
D.C. public schools requiring all of its nearly 60,000 students and staff to provide proof of a negative COVID test before they return Wednesday.
In Castro Valley, California, this district handing out free rapid tests in the hopes of resuming in-person learning.
You want to make sure that everyone takes a test before they come to school.
Children must test negative on Sunday to resume class on Monday.
Okay, so testing is all the thing, particularly when you get the children involved.
The NBA and the NBPA. Have agreed, according to ESPN, on new protocols that will allow COVID-positive players to clear isolation after five days if their count values are above 30.
The NBA and who?
The NBPA? What's the NBPA? I don't know.
I don't know.
I've never heard of it.
Players...
Oh, the National Basketball Players Association.
Oh.
Yeah.
You've heard of it.
Well, yeah, but they don't have games.
No, but the Players Association represents the players.
Yeah, they agreed on these new protocols.
So now we're doing what we should have done all along.
So if you're not testing positive below 30 cycles...
Gee, it's amazing that these things happen when it costs people money.
Well, along those lines, the Biden administration has issued some orders, and one of them is diagnostic testing.
There's a lot of money being freed up, including $137 million for a factory to be built to create test strips for COVID, which will be based on the, and I was waiting for it, the lateral flow system.
Lateral flow is something new, or it's not new, but it's something that is new to the world in marketing, marketing of the tests.
And it is, in fact, the type of technology that the Mologic company excels in, which was purchased by Bill Gates and Soro.
So I'm just waiting for it.
It's coming.
And now we have Anthony Fauci in three clips, backtracking on everything, When we first started with the PCR test, I didn't look for clips, I didn't do a supercut, but I'm pretty sure it was deemed as the gold standard.
Well, it was deemed, I think it was, I don't think there's a lot of, I don't think you made a super cut of people saying that, but it was indeed.
But I don't think, I don't think they were jacked up about it.
They weren't, they weren't all repeating the same message.
Let me see what this is.
These be PCR tests or these antigen tests?
PCR, gold standard.
PCR testing, that's the gold standard COVID test.
PCR is the gold standard?
This is from November 2020.
The ID now, which is a PCR test.
But even though that's a quote-unquote molecular test, you know, that's more of a gold standard.
Using the gold standard, which is...
What does molecular mean gold standard?
testing PCR PCR test is considered the gold standard PCR which is considered the gold standard PCR test that's seen as the gold standard gold standard test the PCR test PCR test which may take a couple of days for results but is considered the gold standard PCR test which is considered the gold standard PCR test that we know is that gold standard for the more gold standard PCR test You'll be given the gold standard PCR test.
PCR result.
That is a gold standard.
PCR, the gold standard.
The deep nasopharyngeal PCR swab as the gold standard.
Now, I didn't set you up on that.
I just searched for it now and found it.
This actually was a supercut done by Neil Jones, the Clip Custodian.
Okay, that was a pretty good clip.
I didn't hear it.
I don't remember ever hearing gold standard for PCR. Yeah.
I just have things that stick in my mind, like flies to fly paper.
And that was one of them, the gold standard, because I was so deeply involved in the research about Carrie Mullis.
You were the one that showed it was anything but the gold standard.
Yes, so that's why I recall it.
I was probably more influenced by you than by the media.
Good!
See how it works?
That's why we're so good together.
I am an optimist, you're a pessimist.
I mean, that's the formula of the show.
I'm not really a pessimist.
I'm not really an optimist.
No, I guess I am.
I guess I am.
Alright, now let's listen to a little bit of Fauci, who I typically wouldn't play unless these were good.
If you have been exposed to the coronavirus and need to quarantine, there is a different guidance for people who are vaccinated and boosted than for the unvaccinated.
But if you are infected and need to isolate, the recommendations don't change depending on whether you are vaccinated or not.
Can you explain that for us?
Which to me was like, hey Fauci, that's not fair.
That's not fair.
Yeah.
Yeah.
If you're infected, you're infected.
Whether or not you're vaccinated or not vaccinated, you're infected.
When you talk about exposure and quarantine, if you are a person who is vaccinated but not boosted, Versus a person who is not vaccinated because of the greater degree of protection that you would have gotten from being boosted, they're treating people who are vaccinated but not boosted as the same risk of those who are not vaccinated at all.
And that's because right now, with Omicron, there's a great deal of difference in the level of protection that you get from being boosted following vaccination versus following vaccination alone.
Okay, so that's the beginning of his dance.
The thing is, almost the booster thing came in as a great excuse for the fact that these vaccines don't work.
Oh, you got...
Oh, you breakthrough cases you get...
Were you boosted?
No, I wasn't boosted.
I just got my...
Oh, that's the reason.
You needed to be boosted.
It gets better.
I want to ask about being contagious and transmissibility for a moment.
You explained that the reason we do not need to test a requirement after a positive person isolates for five days is because the science says the odds of being contagious after those five days are low.
Dr. Walensky has given a few additional reasons.
She said a couple times today that a PCR test could give someone who had a COVID positive result for up to 12 weeks.
The gold standard.
So is a PCR test not a good barometer either for transmissibility and isolation length?
The question should have been, is it not the gold standard, Dr.
Fauci?
How can people actually tell if they are contagious in the cycle of having COVID? How do you measure that if not with either a PCR test or an antigen test?
Yeah, that is a very good question, because a PCR doesn't measure replication-competent virus.
It measures viral particles, nucleic acids.
So in other words, I could be infected, have cleared the replication-competent virus from me, but I can continue to be positive with the PCR for several days after recovering and not being transmissible at all.
So although a PCR is good to tell you, am I infected?
Yes, I am infected.
But the very fact that it's positive for, as the CDC director said, for several days and even weeks later, it doesn't give you any indication of whether or not you're transmissible.
And I think that's the understandable confusion that people have about testing.
Testing saying whether you're infected or not, Versus are you infected plus transmissible?
The only way you could tell if it's transmissible, if you can show that there really is live replication virus in you.
And the tests don't measure that.
They measure the presence or absence of the virus.
And the virus could be dead, inactive virus that doesn't transmit.
So it's entirely understandable why people can get confused over that.
And that's the reason why I'm here trying to explain it to people to hopefully clarify that.
Oh, my, my, my.
I love this guy.
That was terrific.
And, you know, I know exactly what he would have said if you asked the question about gold standard.
He would have said, I've never said it was the gold standard.
No, he did.
I have that, too.
We can find him saying it.
We'd like to find that.
Yeah.
Oh, please.
Oh, please.
It's the gold standard.
I've heard him say it.
I think so.
Quick note from...
Okay.
All right.
Then you need to go and find that it's not true.
This clip was...
I wouldn't have to do anything.
It'd be so easy for people to find it.
Note from producer Mark, not sure if you picked this up, but as you mentioned, infected people being asymptomatic in the last show, highlighting this.
COVID-19 is the...
This is tricky word stuff that Fauci's also using.
COVID-19 is the disease caused by a certain coronavirus, which is SARS-CoV-2.
The lateral flow and PCR tests indicate the presence of this coronavirus, not an infection of COVID-19.
So you do not test positive for COVID, you test positive for SARS-CoV-2.
And he says this is the first time in human history that people are classified as having a disease solely by having the presence of a virus and without a clinical diagnosis.
It's the equivalent of saying everyone who is HIV positive has AIDS, but some have asymptomatic AIDS. You would be cancelled immediately if you tried that game.
But yet, there he is, Dr.
Fauci.
And the lateral flow that's going to be used for this, if you just, you will in fact, you don't have to be sick, you're just a diseased human with a, you're carrying a disease, you filthy, diseased person!
Just like these children in the hospital, another massive flip-flop from Dr.
Fauci.
And I want to ask specifically about hospitalization.
One of the recent concerns, I'm sure you're getting asked a lot about this, how do you explain the sudden increase in hospitalizations among children?
I mean, if Omicron is less severe and 15 to 20 percent less likely to send someone to the hospital, why are we seeing this sudden increase in children at hospital with COVID? Well, that's a good question, and there are two things that contribute to that.
First of all, quantitatively, you're having so many more people, including children, who are getting infected.
And even though hospitalization among children is much, much lower on a percentage basis than hospitalizations for adults, particularly elderly individuals.
However, when you have such a large volume of infections among children, even with a low level of rate of infection, you're going to still see a lot more children who get hospitalized.
But the other important thing is that if you look at the children who are hospitalized, many of them are hospitalized with COVID as opposed to because of COVID.
And what we mean by that, if a child goes in the hospital, they automatically get tested for COVID and they get counted as a COVID hospitalized individual.
When in fact they may go in for a broken leg or appendicitis or something like that.
So it's over counting the number of children who are, quote, hospitalized with COVID as opposed to because of COVID. The same guy who will say 840,000 Americans have died of COVID. Come on.
Come on.
I'm appreciating this guy more and more.
His brazenness that he just...
And he's good.
He's not a slouch at this.
Interesting tidbit here from another one of our producers who is a gestational carrier.
Which is someone who is a surrogate with no genetic relation to the baby.
So she takes implanted embryos and bears them for other people.
And I'll just read this to you.
This is quite interesting.
I agreed to have another baby for some friends of ours, and we're excited to start that process in the next few months.
The parents wholeheartedly support my decision to remain unvaccinated, even said it's their preference since so little is known about the long-term effects.
Very soon, they'll have to sign a contract with the fertility clinic who will do the embryo transfer, and I mentioned to them that we might need to check to be sure the clinic will transfer if I'm unvaxxed.
I asked the nurse from the surrogacy agency we contracted with to email the fertility clinic to ask.
Here's their response.
It was particularly mind-blowing.
We are still strongly recommending, in parentheses extremely strongly, vaccination, especially with a new variant that is more contagious than the previous Delta variant.
As we have stated previously, pregnancy is now an indication of receiving the vaccine instead of being an exception.
Pregnant patients who contract COVID have much higher instances of severe illness and hospitalization, which in turns, and that's how it was written, leads to premature delivery or other worse outcomes.
So, what does this mean?
As we have stated previously, pregnancy is now an indication of receiving the vaccine instead of being an exception.
Does this mean that you're less fertile if you have not been vaccinated?
How do you read that sentence?
I think I read it as, with the use of the word indication, I read it as the same as comorbidity.
So if you have comorbidities, you need the vaccine to protect you.
Oh.
So if you're pregnant, you need the vaccine.
It's a comorbidity.
That's a good deconstruction.
I like it.
They, of course, did not respond when queried what the hell this means.
They haven't responded to that.
Because they don't know what it means.
Somebody wrote it.
I have three clips about Omicron's spread from NPR, I believe.
NPR's good these days.
They have some crazy-ass stuff they're doing.
We've got a lot of vocal fry on that show.
Yeah.
A lot of vocal fry.
Let's go Omicron spread first clip.
Omicron spread.
Omicron spread.
The new breakfast spread from Kraft.
Explosive growth.
That's how the spread of Omicron is being described over and over again.
It's spread around the world in a matter of weeks.
Here in the U.S., new daily case numbers exceeded half a million several times recently, smashing records.
Scientists are trying to figure out exactly what makes this new version of the virus so contagious.
NPR's Will Stone joins us now to explain more.
Hey Will.
Wait a minute.
This guy, is he a regular?
I don't know this guy.
Will Stone?
No, this guy who's talking, who's doing the intro.
Yeah, I've heard him before.
Oh, he sounds kind of like he's doing a movie trailer.
I think he's really did before.
Oh, yeah.
Here in the U.S., new daily case numbers exceeded half a million several times recently, smashing records.
Scientists are trying to figure out exactly what makes this new version of the virus so contagious.
And PR's Will Stone joins us now to explain more.
Hey, Will.
Hello.
Hello.
So I'm old enough to remember that before Omicron, there was Delta.
Do you know why this new variant is overtaking Delta as the most widespread?
Omicron's best trick by far is how well it dodges our pre-existing immunities.
So that comes from either the vaccines, getting infected, or both.
And Dr.
Joshua Schiffer says you can think of this built-up immunity kind of like the playing field on which the virus has to compete.
On that playing field, the majority of the variants that we've seen couldn't survive.
And the Delta virus could survive, but really at its high, where it was not really growing very rapidly or decreasing very rapidly.
Schiffer's at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.
And he says now along comes Omicron and it's thriving because it has these mutations that let it get by the vaccines pretty easily.
So all these people that Delta couldn't get to, Omicron can.
But what we're trying to figure out is whether Omicron has other things going for it aside from breaking through the vaccines that explain why it's spreading so fast.
Like what?
Yeah, we don't know yet, but we've got some hints.
And one is a study from Hong Kong that looked at samples of human tissue taken from the bronchus.
And these are the airways connecting your windpipe to the lungs.
And scientists found that Omicron multiplies 70 times faster than Delta in that tissue.
And at the same time, they also found it does not do a great job infecting cells that are deeper in the lungs.
I spoke to Angie Rasmussen, who's a virologist, about the implications here.
You're shedding more virus in your upper respiratory tract, meaning out your nose.
So potentially, you could be shedding more than you would be if most of the replication was happening deep in your lungs.
They've got an answer for everything, these annoying people.
It's almost like you listen to these clips and it goes from one to another.
They're just making stuff up.
Well, they'd be giving, yes, yes, yes.
I don't know if they're making it up, but they're certainly being given stuff that's just made up.
Somebody's making something up.
It's just like they don't know anything, it seems to me.
Let's go to part two.
Okay.
Part two kick?
Yeah.
Okay.
That kick means there's some little gotcha in here.
Okay.
Scientists in Denmark looked at how well Omicron spreads in households and they compared that to Delta.
And first they found Omicron is substantially better at infecting vaccinated people, so that's no surprise.
Wait a minute.
Let me hear that again.
Scientists in Denmark looked at how well Omicron spreads in households, and they compared that to Delta.
And first they found Omicron is substantially better at infecting vaccinated people, so that's no surprise.
I don't like the whole premise.
It's better.
How is that no surprise?
Omicron is better at infecting vaccinated people.
That's no surprise.
I guess because they've heard so much about it that it's now not a surprise.
I was reading some Israel...
All I hear in American media is, oh, you have another bunch of people hospitalized.
Most of them are not vaccinated.
Right, but that guy was not an NPR guy.
That guy was a doctor who was given, or whoever was given his opinion.
And he screwed up.
He messed up, okay?
We'll never book him again.
We'll never book him again.
I was looking at data from Israel, and after the booster, not the second booster, the third shot, the efficacy goes to minus 700%.
Really great to see this chart.
Yes, so efficacy is percentage-wise, and then you just see, particularly Pfizer, goes down to minus 700%.
So you're seven times more likely to get COVID, Omicron, when you're vaccinated and boosted.
Well, that's not good.
No!
None of this is good.
But it is good, in a way, because people are figuring it out.
And what we know from Omicron, despite that, gee, someone sent me a two-and-a-half-minute supercut, which I do not have and will not play, of the first Omicron death in Texas.
Oh, my God, that was so widespread.
It was all over the world.
God, here's the Dota from coronavirus from Omicron in Texas.
Let's go to the third part of this series.
But when they only looked at unvaccinated people, the interesting thing is they found no difference between Delta and Omicron.
The infection rates were the same.
So that suggests that Omicron's big competitive advantage over Delta is simply that it's able to infect vaccinated people.
Well, we know a lot of people who are vaccinated are getting infected, even though many of them are not getting really sick.
Do we know if they can also be very contagious?
We actually do have a small study from the University of Maryland that tried to get at this, and this research was done in a lab where you can measure how much virus is being exhaled by people infected with Omicron.
Dr.
Don Milton led the study and he says four of the five people had detectable virus in their breath.
Hi.
Hi!
And five out of five people needed a Tic Tac.
That's the part they left out.
Since you're doing look-back clips, which I enjoy, let's look back for a second to when this all started.
Before this started, there's one event that was taking place in our world, and of course this all has to do with China.
And I'm more of the belief now that all these things are kind of happenstance where...
The situation we are in is really because of a financial problem in the world and not a medical or health problem.
There's so much evidence that the lockdowns were necessary for...
Fiscal reasons.
And if you want to go back to the very beginning and look at some of that stuff, Gerald Salente is your guy.
He's a blowhard.
We might have played a clip from him once or twice in 14 years.
But he's quite entertaining in this three-peat.
A million people showed up in Hong Kong to protest it.
They wouldn't stop the fight.
The Chinese couldn't stop it.
Then all of a sudden, January 2020, Chinese Lunar New Year.
I'm not making this up.
These are the facts.
The year of the rat.
The virus breaks out in a city of Yuan.
And they're showing people walking down the street dying, right?
The headline of our magazine, The Trends Journal, on January 28th.
Coronavirus.
106 dead in China.
The next line was 1.4 billion still alive.
What the hell are you telling me 106 people died for?
Then they closed down Yuan.
They closed down a couple of cities.
And they closed down Hong Kong.
Finito.
Over.
Finished.
Put in the security law.
Protests are over.
You don't hear anything about Hong Kong anymore.
Kind of forgot that part.
Yeah, yeah.
Kind of forgot that.
And it was right after that that we got all those great TikTok videos, which was also just exploding at the time of people in China.
Oh, look, it just fell down dead twitching.
So, yes, and quite okuran to talk about today as Nicaragua has now given the Taiwanese embassy to China.
It's like, okay, Taiwanese people out.
This is now China territory.
They were dumping in between September 2019 and January 2020 $7 trillion into the repo markets.
That's how bad the equity markets were going.
They had to artificially prop them up.
Germany was a fraction of a percentage away from going into recession in 2019.
India had seven consecutive quarters of declining GDP before all this happened.
Then the governments took complete control of the people in a country near you.
This is unprecedented in world history.
Ah, yes.
Last clip.
I like it as a thesis.
It's entertaining.
Oh, it's a great thesis.
There were protests and uprisings going on around the world in 2019.
Colombia, Peru, Chile, South Africa, India...
Algeria, Lebanon, France, Hong Kong.
One country after another.
People taking to the streets, protesting the lack of basic living standards, government corruption, violence, crime.
They couldn't stop these protests.
They were going on week after week, day after day.
But virus comes out, you're locked down.
No protesting.
People forget how bad things were going economically in 2019.
Go back to the United States, the Federal Reserve.
What Federal Reserve?
A criminal banking system.
Nothing federal about it.
Lousy, scumbag...
Thieving bitches and bastards, you gotta be equal, that made up this crap with that guy, Woodrow Wilson, a murderous president back in 1913.
The murderous guy that got us into World War I. Just as a cycle, 10 years seems to be about every single time we're ready for something to clear up the books.
You know, it's 9-11, some other war.
10 years seems to be pretty good.
I think this guy takes his cues from Lionel.
I haven't heard from Lionel in a long time.
Yeah, he's got his own, he's got his like, he's in the kitchen in his mom's house and he's doing the same shtick that he's always done.
It's pretty entertaining.
I haven't gone back and revisited it.
The problem is, and this is kind of an interesting thing for people who want to be podcasters to note, and I find this the case with a bunch of Substack guys too.
The problem is, instead of producing a really good show every so often on a routine basis, he cranks out just two, three a day.
Oh, that's way too much.
So you can't find any.
So I saw something he did early on in the pandemic where he's complaining about all the people in New York slam, you know, with all the health care workers coming to work and their people banging on pots and pans to cheer them on.
If you remember that.
Of course.
Yes, of course.
And he had one bit that was hilarious that he did with it.
But I didn't.
Oh, too bad.
I didn't.
I went back to it.
It was it was lost in the shuffle.
It was amongst hundreds and hundreds of clips.
Yeah.
And it was just like, forget it.
I can't listen to this guy if he's going to keep doing this.
And I noticed this with a number of Substack guys.
There's one guy called the Cat El Gato or something or other.
And he'll put something out there with a nice title.
Sounds like it's interesting.
It's just a cartoon.
Right.
There'll be like two or three a day.
It's too much.
You can't find it.
It's unbelievable.
Don't do that, people.
Back to the topic.
I sent this article.
No, it's okay.
I sent this article to the former New York banker who's vacationing, so it'll probably be next week.
Might I ask where he is vacationing?
In Mexico.
Ooh.
It's from Politico.
The Fed's doomday prophet has a dire warning about where we're headed.
And I never knew about this guy, Thomas Honig.
And he was president of the Federal Reserve Regional Bank in Kansas, and he was on the policy committee.
And he was the only guy in 2010 who consistently voted no on quantitative easing.
And long story short, TLDR, he says everything he said at the time and predicted about what would happen, that we would have to pay the piper of...
Wiping everything under the carpet and flooding the whole world basically with dollars.
And I would say arguably he was right.
ABC World News Tonight.
About inflation.
About what?
About the never-ending printing of money and with the results.
The stock market is skyrocketing.
The stock market is skyrocketing.
Exactly.
And then the minute you pull the plug and the quantitative easing stops, which is starting to happen now, it's going to crash down, screwing everybody's 401k, the working people, because they lose their actual retirement value.
There's 10,000 boomers retiring right now.
And that's going to go to shit.
And then at the same time, the money that they do have will be worth 10, maybe 15% less.
I thought you were the optimist.
I am the optimist.
Bitcoin fixes this.
Tonight, grocery shoppers confronting inflation numbers that haven't been seen in years.
The price of milk, 4.6 higher.
Hey, she says it like you, milk.
She's from the Midwest.
There you go.
Years.
The price of milk, 4.6 higher than a year ago.
Now that I listen to it, it sounds terrible.
I say milk.
No, you say milk often.
Which is the way the Dutch say it.
Milk, de vita motor.
...that haven't been seen in years.
The price of milk, 4.6 higher than a year ago.
Bread, up 4%.
Poultry, fish, and eggs, 13% higher.
As consumers deal with the shock...
When I went into the store yesterday, normally, like, a pound of ground chicken is usually about $3.99.
Yesterday, it was $7.99.
Even higher prices coming right away.
According to the Wall Street Journal beginning this month, companies like General Mills and Kraft Heinz are planning more price increases to wholesalers on everything from mustard to cereal to jello.
They pass along their own perfect storm of rising costs, like higher transportation expenses because of rising oil prices, higher prices for animal fees, payroll costs pushed up because labor is short, and the havoc the pandemic has brought to the grocery supply chain.
You can't really wave a magic wand and just sort of fix the supply chain problem.
I'll make sure my son eats and I'll just have to reduce what I eat.
Many economists see prices climbing for many goods in the next six months by as much as 10 to 20 percent.
There is hope of prices leveling off once the latest variant is behind us.
That's the most optimistic thing I've heard at all.
What?
Yeah, the prices will level off once the variant is behind us.
Talking about making a screwball connection.
I'm going to feed my son and I'll starve.
I mean, come on, lady.
Oh, you don't think that's happening?
You don't think people have to make those choices in real life?
Not that one.
That woman needs to eat less bonbons.
Okay, all right.
I'll give you that.
Something else just of note, there was basically a hostile takeover of the FDIC, which is the organization that ensures your deposits that you have in the bank.
It wasn't hostile.
Well, headline!
A hostile takeover of the FDIC, Wall Street Journal.
She resigned.
Well, based on the journal's perspective, they just rousted one person.
They rousted the chair of the board, whose responsibility it is to make the decisions on what goes out in a request for information, and they rousted that position while she was traveling.
The point being, these are a bunch of radical leftists who are taking over the FDIC. Why?
I don't know.
Can't be good.
Biden-Obama people.
Now, back to the food and being able to afford it.
And what you unveiled, which turns out this has been going on for longer than maybe you and I both, for two years China's been hoarding grain.
Did you know that for two years they've been doing this shit?
No.
I think what's going to happen is the grain's going to go bad.
Well, that's going to make it even worse.
Although...
Food technology, baby.
It's on the docket.
CES starts this week.
It's a very exciting time, and we have a huge number of companies.
Plus, we also have new categories that we have never had before, like food technology, space technology, NFTs.
It's a really wonderful time.
And there's so many parts of the show.
I mean, the health technology portion is another portion.
It's totally huge.
How is this consumer?
Hold on a second.
Stop that clip.
How is fake meat, pea-based protein, quote-unquote, consumer electronics?
I quote, Where's the electronics?
Where's the chip?
The busiest thing at CES 2020, the last in-person show before the pandemic, wasn't a gadget, software, or a service, but Impossible Food Inc.'s Impossible Pork, a plant-based meat designed to cook and smell like ground pork.
This has been going on for a while.
Thank you.
This has been going on for a couple of years.
Yeah, because they can't get these consumer electronics companies.
They've given up on the show.
No, no, no.
This is...
It's not electronic.
Yes, it is.
This is 3D printed meat.
They're going to have 3D printers there.
Your pork sausage comes right out.
Printed meat.
Yes!
Hey, Jill, you want us to get a 3D printer?
We can print our own burgers.
Yeah.
Oh, I don't know.
Can we get the raw materials for the burger to print the burger?
Yeah, we're going to have a big party this Saturday.
We'll print everybody up a burger.
Yeah.
Yes, this is coming.
Absolutely.
Oh, yeah.
And the health technology?
Man, Amazon has now unveiled their full-on, their pharmacy, their pharmacy division.
Is it going to be called Fire Pharmacy?
Is it going to be like the Amazon Fire Phone, the big success, the big threat that was with a 3D display?
Yeah.
I have a feeling that Amazon will do quite well on shipping your meds.
And I think they'll do just fine.
Let's finish this report.
Wonderful time.
And there's so many parts of the show.
I mean, the health technology portion is another portion.
It's totally huge.
Huge!
Because there's been such a focus on health technology and innovation for the last two years.
And here's a chance to display it.
And so that's really, really exciting.
It's really, really exciting, John.
It's really, really, really exciting.
The conference will also cover how robotics are changing the face of food.
Oh, yeah.
How is robotics a consumer electronic?
Hey, you know, I don't know.
Why is MTV still called music television?
You tell me.
Well, that's a different story.
Yay!
No answer.
Speaking of which, you were so kind on the last show to ask me to spell a name.
And I'll revisit this clip.
Which I failed miserably at, but I did go back.
No, that was not a setup.
I told you that.
This is the setup.
John, could you please spell this town mentioned in this local news report, weather report?
Now today we had a big contrast in temperature across the UK, just 12 degrees over coastal parts of eastern England with cloudy skies, but in the sunshine in northwest Wales at RAF Mona, just up the road from Flanbyr, the temperature got to 21 Celsius at 70 in Fahrenheit.
I'll make it easier for you.
I showed the name of this Welsh town.
Just up the road from Flanbyr, the Flanbyr, the Flanbyr, I've actually heard the name of this town before and seen it written out.
Yes.
Even if I... It's not possible to spell it.
It's spelled with...
It's just not...
It's a beauty, though.
You're right.
The translation is St.
Mary's Church in the Hollow of White Hazel near Rapid Whirlpool and the Church of St.
Celio near the Red Cave.
Yeah.
Again, this is why my Captain Dan said, if you have an engine failure, you never land in Wales.
It's better to crash.
Don't go there.
It's better just to give up and crash.
Just crash, baby.
Exactly.
Yeah, so I don't know, but if you look at the CES Food Tech Conference, let's see.
The Kitchen 2030.
Ooh, there's our 2030 Club.
This is up your alley, actually.
I was planning on seeing if I can watch some of this stuff.
How food and cooking will change in the future.
The arrival of AI, smart technologies, robotics, and more means how we cook, store food, and even eat will undergo a significant transformation over the next decade.
Who are they kidding?
Next session, the future of meat.
Meat made from plants brewed in bioreactors and made from fungi is changing what we eat.
And speak for yourself, buddy.
It's not meat.
Listen to the leaders of the alt-meat revolution.
Alt-meat.
I've got to write some of this.
There's a show title for you.
Alt-meat revolution.
We say you've got a revolution.
3D printed meat.
Tackling food waste with technology.
Welcome to our food robot future.
Hey Bill, I'm coming over to the party for the 3D printed meat.
I have my own software.
Can you print the meat that my software will produce?
Oh yeah, we can load it in the computer and you can prove.
No, no, let's ask Alice to do it.
She's got the meat printer 13.
It's tastier.
Come on, man, this is great.
This is really good.
Well, I can go back to the software business.
What about it?
I'll just sell us meat software.
You take the software, you load it into your 3D meat printer, and you can print some tasty meat.
This is a good idea.
I wondered, can you do that with, so I guess the 3D meat printer just has different tubes of stuff, right, of taste stuff that you inject?
Yeah.
Hey man, listen, I'm all in, I'm going to help you, but we're doing open source meat, okay?
Open source meat?
Oh, the worst.
I had that open source meat.
It's terrible.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the C that sounds like a K in milk, ladies and gentlemen, Mr.
John C. Dvorak!
All right.
That was pretty overmodulated.
We've had better.
In the morning to the trolls in the troll room at trollroom.io.
They've been hanging out.
They've been very helpful.
Giving me one-liners.
They're the ones setting you up, by the way, not me.
I don't do that.
You think I came up with that Welsh clip?
I think not.
Let's see how many trolls we have on this fine second day of the brand new year.
Hands up, trolls.
Let's see.
Whoa!
Ho-ho!
People are home and got nothing better.
Is there no ball game on today?
Is there no football?
Today?
I don't think so.
Oh yeah, there's regular NFL games.
2,486 trolls.
That's pretty common.
No, it's above common.
What's the record?
You have the record.
You know the record.
What's the record?
It's on a post-it note.
Yeah.
No, it's on a sticker.
Yeah.
And?
It is.
Hold on a second.
I need my glasses.
Valuable airtime.
2524.
2524.
Okay.
Well, not that far off.
About 50 off.
That's pretty good.
Hey, trolls.
Good to have you here.
They're listening live.
You can listen live at noagendastream.com or just go to trollroom.io.
You can get right into the troll room.
It's just a chat.
Just nothing special.
Can't do much other than troll.
You can also hang out with people, discuss stuff, and there's many, many, many live shows on the stream, which is 24 hours a day.
And we do thank the trolls for their courage.
Welcome to 2022.
Check us out on noagendasocial.com.
It's our federated mastodon.
It's been running smoothly thanks to Erner, who weathered the storm of whatever the hell happened in the Fediverse.
And I'm sure it'll be interesting if Truth Social enters the Fediverse as well.
We might see more influx and more up and down time, which is why it's decentralized.
Start your own, please, as soon as possible.
Don't let the conversation go to waste.
You can still communicate if one node goes down.
It still hangs around.
And when they come back up, they receive all the stuff you said.
It's beautiful.
It is just like open source meat.
Only not as tasty.
Follow Adam at NoAgendaSocial.com.
John C. Dvorak.
That's a really good show title.
What's that?
Open Source Meat.
Yeah, I wrote it down.
I wrote it down.
I think we should...
You know what?
Hold on a second.
Hold on a second.
Say something about No Agenda Social for a second so I don't have dead air.
No Agenda Social is probably the best social network because you can say what you want and nobody jumps all over you or kicks you off the thing because nobody knows how to do that.
In fact, I believe that our producer, I was looking around and I put some new people on that I was following.
I went over and looked at Brunetti.
Brunetti has Dana Brunetti, the famous Hollywood producer.
Who did Fifty Shades of Grey.
He has an account on the No Agenda Social.
And I noticed that he hasn't posted for about a year.
And I figured that he would be posting, except he probably lost his password.
And so when you click on, hey, I lost my password.
The system doesn't work.
You never get a new password.
You're stuck.
You're locked out for good.
Great.
It's a great system.
Because it keeps people like him away.
OpenSourceMeet.com and org, both taken.
Ooh, they're ahead of us on this.
Yeah, but I did grab IO just to have it.
It's a domain broker, so it's not in use.
I got OpenSourceMeet.io.
It's not the best, but at least we got something.
OpenSourceMeet.io.
Come on, man.
Can you use exit strategy?
If you're going to be printing meat, IO is not a bad extension.
Yeah.
Input-output.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You put peas in, you get beef out.
It's amazing.
It's food technology, bro.
That's what that is.
Food technology.
Hey, let's thank the artist for episode 1412.
We titled that Oil Ball Panic after the Dutch Ole Bowl Panic.
We were, of course, looking for something that would work well with the New Year's show.
We did this on New Year's Eve.
And now this was two in a row for Dame Kenny Ben.
Hits it, knocks it out of the park with the unplugging of 2021.
A beautiful piece.
And this was a debatable one because Adam liked the one that appeared just beneath it.
Well, we were looking at...
Oh, yeah.
You liked the sledgehammer first.
The sledgehammer, I thought, was very, very pretty.
And you had a good reasoning.
Well, first of all, the sledgehammer, I also really liked the 2021 with the toe tag.
Yes.
By Parker Pauly?
I didn't like that.
That wasn't going to happen to Parker Pauly pieces.
She did two of them.
And...
That wasn't going to happen because I thought that you couldn't really figure out what this was in the tow tag.
You couldn't read, so it was a violation of that.
Yes, it was.
Yes, it was a violation.
What was the other one that I liked?
Which one was that?
Well, there's another one I liked.
Oh, so the sledgehammer?
Right.
I liked the one next to the plug, which was from...
Another one from Kenny Band, which was out with the old, and it had a bunch of vaccines sticking and killing 2021.
And I used that for the newsletter.
And a special honorary mention for Comic Strip Blogger and Correct the Record, I believe.
Was it just Correct the Record?
I thought Comic Strip Blogger did it too.
Who did the but?
That was Comic Strip Blogger.
No, it says Correct the Record.
I just hovered.
Sure looked like...
Oh, then he did a comic strip blogger butt.
Which is...
Yeah.
It's a bad condition.
Let me just check it.
It says, yeah, vax pass ass.
Correct to record.
We both looked at it.
We're sure it was comic strip blogger.
Well, we didn't have to look and see who did it.
It's plagiarism!
It's plagiarism!
Leave his butt alone!
Yeah, I thought the Tantanil Sledgehammer Smashing 2021, I loved it.
But you convinced me otherwise by saying...
I thought the other one was better because it wasn't so vague, and it had a message, and it's a little man trying to pull a plug out of the wall saying, let's get this over with.
And I thought it was more action.
Even though there was no movement, like with the Sledgehammer, there was a movement.
Yes, yes, yes.
It was slamming into the numbers, but this was no movement, but it was like kinetic.
And so it was going to move, and we knew what was going to happen.
I just thought it had more pizzazz.
There's your note, artist.
Kinetic.
Make it kinetic.
Kinetic.
Well, Kinetic this week, something else next week is always different.
But I did like the...
We looked at the odometer.
Oh, that's another way.
Now, the question, which is a classic Darren O'Neill piece, he does the odometer.
And we looked at that, and I looked at it later, and I'm thinking, do the odometers turn up or down?
This one's turning down.
I thought they turned up.
Am I wrong?
Huh.
I don't know.
They turn down like this?
Flipping down?
I don't know.
Well, these days, it's just digital.
I don't know if anyone knows.
If you have a 55 Chevy, they're not.
That's what I drive.
And everything else was...
Well, no, there was one more honorable mention, which was Darren O'Neill's Welcome to 2022 with the fireworks squirting out of the syringe.
Yeah, that was a nice piece.
I like that one.
Yeah, that was a good piece.
If it wasn't for these other pieces, they could have been picked easy.
We appreciate the work that all of our artists do, and it's well worth taking a look at.
Someone asked me the other day, you know, it would be great to see all of those.
Okay, well, let me say it one more time.
Noagendaartgenerator.com.
It's even...
Categorize submitted art, evergreen art, accepted art, and you can contribute under the sign-in and sign-up portion.
Thank you very much, Dame Kennybend, for your second win.
Kickin' ass.
Fantastic.
And again, thank you to all of the artists.
We really love this.
Now, we haven't had an update on her health.
I want to mention that.
Yes, it would be nice.
Well, she's doing good work, so who cares?
Heyo!
Let's thank some of our executive and associate executive producers for episode 1413.
Now, did you get your email back?
Did everything work again?
Are we missing stuff?
I have J6. We probably don't have scans of stuff.
Oh no, I have the letters here.
No, my email just came back up this morning.
I didn't have time.
So I have the notes.
You should say note A, B, or C. And there's one missing.
One guy sent a check and says, make sure to read the note.
I don't know what the note is.
And there's a lot of kind of gifts that were thrown in here and there.
And you sent me the t-shirt I guess somebody sent some time ago.
Oh, no, that's been sitting in our house for five months.
Oh, okay.
I told you.
You remember we had this conversation?
Yeah, no, I know, but I didn't know.
I thought there was a bunch of stuff.
John, I had no idea what it was.
It's just been sitting there.
I said, Tina's going to the P.O. box.
Oh, shoot.
We just talked about it.
Take that thing.
Did you get the head to sign?
I haven't received anything.
Oh, okay.
Well, here.
What are we drinking in the new year?
Yeah, this is typical.
I'm drinking Sunny Select Club Soda.
24 cans for like three bucks.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, I'm going for the big brands.
Nice.
Yeah, small batch is what it sounds like.
Small batch.
Yeah, small batch.
Sir Craig Porter the Ronin, November 7, Fox Sierra November, 73s, Kilo 5 Alpha Charlie Charlie.
Carlsbad, California, $2,022.33 for good measure.
That's how we like to start off a new year.
In the morning, thank you for your courage, John Adam.
Happy New Year to all.
No jingles, but goat karma for all 73s.
Sir Craig Porter, the Ronin, N7FSN. Give him a shout if you hear him on the band.
You've got karma.
Sir Craig of the Southern Carpathians.
1122.33.
Which is a cool combination.
Two ones, two twos, two threes.
Yeah.
Huh?
Beauty.
Yeah, I like it.
Was that one of your donation suggestions?
No, I never thought of the same idea.
No, why would you?
Who would be crazy enough to take you up on it?
Well, Sir George, apparently.
ITM, he says.
And Happy New Year.
1-1-2-2 because today, plus 33, because it was 1-1-2-2 yesterday.
Now it's 1-2-2-2.
Because pretty soon, next month is going to be a special day.
It's going to be 2-2-2-2-2.
Yep.
A lot of people are actually going to have 2-2-2-2 and then 2-2-2-2-2.
2-2-2-2, not an angel number.
Because today, plus 33, because it's everywhere.
Everywhere I look.
Sir George of the Southern Carpathians.
Beautiful.
Thank you.
Happy New Year, sir.
Delivered some money and he did.
Good for you.
Paul Hobbs is in Queensland, Australia, in Canungra.
And he sends us, I wonder, this is $479.72, and these are Aussie dollar-y-dos.
We do recognize those, certainly for executive and associate executive producerships.
Making a donation to become a producer also celebrated my birthday on January 3rd.
I'm turning 55, so the U.S. donation of 333.55 is a recognition of this.
However, this converted to 479.72 Aussie dollar dues.
Can I please get a de-douching?
Yes.
You've been de-douched.
He says that's because my last donation was back on show 925.
You blokes have kept me sane over the past six years.
I am so thankful for my brother-in-law Matt for hitting me in the mouth.
And he gives us a quick boots-on-the-ground update from Queensland.
He's a delivery driver subcontractor, and he delivers stuff.
And he says, here in Queensland, I just walk right in.
I got no mask.
I pay no mind.
No QR codes.
No one gives a crap.
He says that's the situation in Queensland, even though the testing numbers in Australia have gone insane.
Hundreds of thousands of tests.
No rapid test kits to be found anywhere.
It's called creating demand.
Bill Gates is coming.
People are panicking due to the constant fear porn that the media is pushing out, even though we've had a total of seven deaths in Queensland since the Rona scandemic began.
Yeah, now you're talking Salente's language.
Anywho, thank you for my twice-weekly amygdala shrinkage.
You truly are the best podcast in the universe.
Heading off to the 21st January, Brisbane Bandits Meetup.
Looking forward to meeting up with some more like-minded individuals.
No jingles, just work karma.
Cheers, says Paul.
And work karma goes something like this.
You've got karma.
Onward with Sir Fur in Orlando, Florida.
$340.
He sent in a check with a note.
And there's the note right there.
ITM, John and Adam, you are great comedians.
Thank you for your comedy.
You're welcome.
The comedic stylists.
Inclosed is another installment of the wealth transfer from my children's inheritance.
This is $340.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
I've got to stop.
I have to stop you.
Christina sent me a note on January 1st.
You know, she's into astrology.
And she's talking about Virgo.
She says, the next six months will be great because Virgos are on deck to inherit money.
And it came true!
It's just that it's someone else's inheritance, but we're getting it.
Oh, yeah.
That's a good point.
Yeah, I like that.
This gets me to Baronet.
We have to put him on the list for Baronet.
Okay.
Surfer.
Surfer Baronet.
I'll take care of that right now.
I would like to celebrate this respectable achievement with jingles.
Okay, well I can only do one thing at a time since I didn't receive these ahead of time.
Well, Joseph Surfer is a baronet.
He says, he printed this on the back of some layout for a dining room or something, and then it says at the bottom, weirdly, weirdly, he used the word weirdly, Weirdly, printed from iPhone notes on reused paper.
I have no idea what he's talking about.
Well, the iPhone's note app, and you can print from your phone.
Oh, that's so neat.
It's part of the new CES food technology display.
Ooh.
All right, jingles.
Give me the list of jingles.
Give me the jingles as quick as possible.
Celebration.
Open mic, celebration.
Reverend L. Sharpton, respect.
Little girl, yay.
And then optional, but I have it here, so I'll just do it myself.
The party horn.
Plus karma for all producers.
Love and lit and all that shit, he writes.
Surfer.
Thanks for that.
Okay.
I think we can do this.
Surfer!
Celebration!
Come on!
It's a celebration!
What is this?
Celebration!
R-E-S-P-I-C-T Yay!
Do you request?
We deliver.
Plus karma for all produce.
Oh, karma.
I'm sorry.
Almost delivered.
You've got Carmen.
I was so excited by the horn.
That horn works.
Time.
So I don't have any of these.
Kyle Stefano comes in at 333 from Orangevale, California.
He says, thank you for your courage.
Thank you for your courage.
On the check, there was a note attached that got lost at the shuffle.
I don't know where it is.
And then we have Cheryl Wetzel in Mount Laurel, New Jersey.
Mount Laurel.
Where is that?
Do you know who that is?
Yeah, it's in...
Didn't you mention it's like a ritzy place?
Yeah.
I'm not so sure about Mount Laurel.
Oh, you said something the other day.
Okay, she wrote a note.
I have it here.
And proof is the fact that it makes noise.
Unfortunately, it's a little long.
I'm going to see if there's any jingles she wants.
No, no, no.
Mount Laurel, New Jersey is near Philly.
We basically recognize them in New Jersey.
Kind of like you're more Pennsylvanians.
Thank you, gentlemen, for the bi-weekly breaks from the madness that feels, again, all-consuming.
It is astounding that we're still stuck in, quote, COVID quicksand.
For a few moments in 2021, I thought things had lightened up, but now it feels much worse.
Two recent events have really bothered me.
First, my daughter and ex-husband got colds, the stuffy nose being the main symptom.
But when my ex lost his sense of taste, they bolted out to the pharmacy for a rapid test.
My daughter was initially negative, but then positive.
She also ran to the urgent care for a PCR. My thought...
This reminds me of the clip I didn't...
Maybe sent me this.
This was...
Did you hear about the woman?
She's on Icelandic air.
She's going to a party somewhere, I guess.
Yes, and she didn't...
She got a scratchy throat on the plane.
So she said, oh, I gotta test myself.
Oh!
On the plane.
Oh!
Oh, I'm positive!
And they jammed the bitch in the bathroom.
That's kind of one way of summarizing it.
Cheryl continues, my thought, why not do it a third time or as many as you want until you get the results you want?
And yes, she is vaccinated.
My diagnosis, she has a cold.
This is interesting.
I'm a medical laboratory scientist and feel everything about the testing has been flawed.
We will never be able to determine the truth because science research in the entire medical world has gone off the rails.
Wow, that was a Scott, what's that professor's name?
Don't know.
Scott G. You sounded just like him.
No.
Galloway.
Scott Galloway.
And no one gives a crap, she continues.
The FDA is a bunch of liars and the CDC doesn't know shit.
This is the thinking.
The second event was a post on Facebook below.
A picture of stockings hanging on a mantle, and in one of the stockings is a rapid COVID test pack.
Comments, quote, so glad you're staying safe.
Quote, expensive but necessary.
Blah, blah, blah.
I was disgusted.
Unfollow.
Unfriend.
Note to self.
Stop looking at Facebook.
No, just get off.
Just shut down your account.
You can keep it, you know, like, it's like keeping drugs in the toilet tank just in case.
You can keep something in the cookie jar, but you can just shut it down.
Is that what you do?
Oh, yeah.
Shut it down.
Be aware of this.
Since the entrance of the moronic variant, with caps, moronic capitalized, it's the new moronic variant, I see more people in masks than I ever did.
Everyone has totally lost their minds.
The mask is a badge of honor.
A positive COVID test makes you a hero, especially if you are vaccinated.
We have to keep speaking our truth or we'll be consumed by this madness.
I am thankful for No Agenda for allowing me this moment to speak.
R2-D2 Karma, please.
That scream always makes me feel better.
Yours sincerely, Cheryl.
You've got...
Karma.
Well, this is an interesting point she brings up.
And I hadn't thought about it, but it's raging through Texas, the Omicron.
Hill Country, raging.
Where Tina works, both owners are sick.
But, people are not even getting tested.
Like, uh, I probably got Omicron.
And this is a problem, because they know that it doesn't even, it's a pain in the ass.
Of course, New York, they're still, you know, the idiots are out there who are still standing in line to get tested.
We just heard testimony of such.
But a lot of people are starting to say, eh, I'm not going to get tested.
I probably got it.
This is a problem.
This is a problem.
This is why the Biden administration is flipping out, trying to get tested in the market as quick as possible.
There's no control.
If you don't have tests, there's no control anymore.
We know that the protocols are the same, whether you're vaccinated or unvaccinated.
So without tests, they lose control.
Well, I like the way that Cheryl points out that people are using this as a badge of honor.
They wear a mask as a badge of honor.
They get vaccinated and then get sick, and that's great.
And then wear a mask.
The whole thing is ludicrous.
Yeah.
My optimism is bubbling up again.
Sir J.D., Baron of Silicon Valley, 333.22.
There's his producership and the year in pennies.
Happy New Year, ITM, gents.
Here's hoping that 2022 goes better for all of us.
For jingles, can I please have some classic jobs with an LGY karma?
I know there are many in the no agenda nation out there that could use some.
I certainly need a bit myself.
Thank you for your courage to keep up the great work.
I promise a meetup report soon from the December Silicon Valley meetup where several nights, one day when others met up in a smoky back room of a private cigar lounge in San Jose.
It's been a long time since I've been one of those.
I love that.
We even had one Instanite who donated during the meetup.
Due to PayPal's problems on mobile, it looks like you missed the ceremony for the future Black Knight Sir Salmon.
This note in email is I also didn't get a text box on PayPal tonight.
Anyways, love is lit.
Namaste, Sir J.D., Baron of Silicon Valley.
I don't recognize that name.
What?
The Instanite Sir Salmon.
Salmon.
Do you remember a salmon?
Weird.
No.
But it's just one of those things.
It's possible.
We always fix it in the mix.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
Chris Johnson, 333.00, Port Orange, Florida.
And a Happy New Year to you and all those listening to the best podcast in the universe.
Congrats on yet another successful year of media deconstruction.
And I'm looking forward to all that 2022 brings.
I'd like to apply $233 to this donation during my knighthood and the remaining $100 to the donation of my friend Nick Fincher, who is the Dominus of Douche.
Please de-douche him.
Alright.
You've been de-douched.
Dominus of Douche.
I like Dominus of Douche.
It's cool.
People should pay to have that title.
I've been nearly a year since my first donation, which went toward my wife's damehood on episode 1319.
This guy, he writes like I'm talking here.
Even though John said Stormy is a stripper name, LOL, the value returned has been tremendous over the past 34 episodes.
Here's how that went.
Hey baby, happy birthday.
Let me just turn on the live stream.
Oh, I have a little surprise for you.
And then we're like, Hey, that sounds like a stripper!
Mm-hmm.
However, there may be one newsworthy deconstruction that hasn't hit your radar.
The SEC versus Ripple case.
There's been a huge story of Bruin, which appears to be rife with importantly impropriety on behalf of the SEC. Yes, I've heard about this.
What have you heard?
I've heard there's impropriety on the part of the SEC. I'm shocked!
I'm shocked, I tell you.
I'm shocked, I'm shocked.
It truly could be one of the most significant SEC cases in 76 years and the outcome could affect all of crypto.
If you are interested learning more, I might suggest following attorney John E. Deaton.
And a digital asset investor on Twitter for more information.
A little karma for 2022 would be nice, if you don't mind.
Please play the attached jingle from my daughter, Victoria, who faithfully listens to the show with me on our way to school every morning.
All the best, Christopher Johnson.
Victoria, your dad doesn't really sound like that, does he?
He's in Port Orange, Florida.
It's quite possible.
Let's go, Brandon.
You've got karma.
That's cute.
I love that.
Let me hear that again.
It's kind of a good recording here.
Let's go, Brandon.
Yeah.
And she hits the D hard.
She does, yeah.
When you're a little kid.
Yeah.
Little kids have to hit their consonants.
She's not little.
She sounds like she's 18.
She doesn't sound like she's 18.
Let's go, Brandon!
You're right.
More like 18 months.
No.
Well, no, not that either.
But anyway, continue.
I'll just get these two out of the way.
Dane Frost in Portland, Oregon.
Don't have a note.
Don't know where it is.
$250.
And Sir Caw, Craig Allen Harms.
I thought I had a note from him.
Oh, that's interesting.
Well, I lost this note, so I'll play it.
I'll dig it up or I'll...
Yeah, Sir Caw.
Okay.
I might as well do this one because I got the note for this one.
This is Trish Petrat in Brighton, Michigan, 23456.
And it is written...
Hello, John and Adam.
Here's another donation for this show.
Our third, however, I'd like this 23456 to go toward my damehood.
Okie dokie.
Keeping with tradition, here's a few more great terms I've written down while listening.
Jacked up.
Jitty.
Happy as a clam.
Haven't heard that one in forever.
Ha ha ha ha.
Ha ha ha.
I wonder why.
Where does that come from?
Why are clams happy?
Yeah.
Well, I think the notion is that since they have no brains or anything, they're stupid.
It leads them to happiness.
In cartoons, they do kind of have that dumb grin.
Dipsy Dew.
Another winner.
She says, love it.
Japaners.
Tit in the ringer.
Yeah, it's one of the classics.
That's a classic.
Flubmeister.
That's something we say a lot.
Olden days and Adam's comment.
All that and a bag of chips.
That's my mom used to say that.
Thanks for posting the troll room instructions.
I'm in.
Please de-douche.
Yo, wasn't even expecting the dedouching.
You've been dedouched.
And send karma to Stephen from Ferndale, Michigan.
He has donated.
He needs karma as he is getting pressure to take the jab at his place of employment.
Well, what are you going to do?
Happy holidays to you both.
Best wishes for a great 2022.
Kind regards, Trish.
You've got karma.
Becky Passfield is Becky in Brisbane, Australia.
231.73, which in Aussie dollar-y dues was 333.33.
Recognized and valid here.
Keep up the good work, chaps!
No jingles, just karma for all, says Becky in Brisbane.
Thank you very much, Becky.
You've got karma.
I'll grab Joe here.
223, Associate Executive Producer, Valparaiso.
I should have rehearsed this because it's in Indiana.
Valparaiso, also known as Valpo.
There you go.
Valpo.
Valpo.
Adam.
Adam, jingles, fears, freedom, oh wow, and dog karma.
Affectioner's Valpo is one county east from where the keeper hails from.
Yes, this is why it's embarrassing.
On the topic of the push to get everyone tested, I think you guys are overlooking one key factor.
The emergency use authorization for the PCR test expired on 12-31-21.
They likely had warehouses of tests stocked up and needed to burn through the inventory, and the mass is happily lined up to find out if they are sick or not.
For any producers out there having trouble getting ivermectin, the FLCCC, Dr.
Corey's group, lists black cumin seed as an alternative to ivermectin for preventing Fauci flu.
This would be labeled disinformation on Twitter.
The dosing can be found on their iMask Plus protocol page and is readily available online for now.
Love you guys.
No homo.
Happy New Year to all of Gitmo Nation.
I did read this.
I never read it.
Maybe I did, but I don't recall it.
I've also seen a newer study that says quercetin is very helpful.
Yeah, quercetin's been in the news on and off, but black human seed.
How do you get it out of your teeth?
Oh, can you imagine?
Yeah, I kind of can.
Fear is freedom!
Subjugation is liberation.
Contradiction is truth.
Those are the facts of this world.
And you will all surrender to them.
You pigs in human clothing!
Oh.
What do you think?
Karma.
Gordon Walton in Austin, Texas.
Yay!
That's a row of ducks or whatever they call it.
Row of ducks.
Rodex.
Dude, no jingles, no karma.
I apply to my son John's baronet title.
Happy New Year, no agenda producers, and in the morning.
And Gordon has already upgraded his daughter several times.
He's just making his whole family royalty.
He sees it for what it is.
He's like, when the apocalypse comes, we're going to have the titles.
And the protectorate.
He's very smart.
Lord it over everybody.
It's interesting how we came up with this so long ago, and it's just one of these days.
It might be where someone has a printed out Google map that shows that they have the protector of Idaho, and people go, well, no one else has any proof.
Everything is gone.
Guess you're it.
That's what happens with the land grants in California.
Yes.
Yes.
This is not unprecedented.
I guess Vallejo owns this place.
I don't know.
What else are we going to do?
Cynthia Scholter, 211-22.
Dear John Adam, thank you for your courage.
Please send Jobs Karma to my friend, Sarah Booker and Hans Sowell.
They are avid listeners and could use some good vibes to start off the year right.
This is a nice New Year's gift.
Best wishes.
Happy New Year from Cynthia.
Jobs.
Jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
And last but not least are Timothy Hiller and James Williams.
Both came in with $200 each.
Part's a no-no note that I can find.
And I want to thank them.
If they have anything to say, they can send us another note separately.
And these are our executive and associate executive producers for show 1413.
The next show, by the way, is show 1414.
And there may be something you can do with that in terms of a donation.
Thanks, everybody, for helping us here.
Yes, and these titles are official and accepted wherever titles are understood.
Hollywood, for one, go look at IMDB. That hated LinkedIn network, well, you know, if Malone had an executive producer credit next to his name, they wouldn't have taken it down.
They don't do that.
It's Hollywood.
But those people are royalty.
So you've got one of these now, and it's the real deal.
Go ahead, check it out.
If anyone questions it, you just have them call Adam and John.
We'll vouch for you.
Learn more at dvorak.org.
Thank you very much to our executive and associate executive producers for episodes 1413.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Order!
Order!
Get ready!
Shut up!
Sleep!
I think we should just stop for one second and just think about this for one minute.
Breaking news.
And the death of beloved actress and comedian Betty White.
Authorities say she passed away in her home in Los Angeles just weeks before what would have been her 100th birthday.
Celebrations were already in the works.
Betty White was seemingly ageless with generations of fans, her remarkable career spanning nearly eight decades.
Best known for her roles on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Golden Girls, her list of credits dating back to the 1940s.
Former co-stars remembering her tonight, the U.S. Army also paying tribute, reminding us, quote, not only was she an amazing actress, she also served during World War II as a member of the American Women's Voluntary Services, a true legend on and off the screen.
A master of comedic timing, an activist, humble and graceful, Betty White was an American original.
Yes, she was.
I love Betty White.
I think she's great.
Well, everybody liked Betty White because she was a lewd old lady, and it was very funny, and her comic timing was beautiful.
Yeah.
And it was kind of a weird feeling because we watched the Lucy and Lucy Ball Desi Arnaz documentary, which kind of felt like...
You mean the movie?
Yeah, I call it the docudrama.
Yeah, the movie.
Did you see it?
Yeah.
What did you think?
I thought it was slightly tedious.
There was something wrong with the editing, man.
They were going back in time, and I got confused where we were.
Oh, I don't like when they do that.
You've got to keep your chronology straight, or you better isolate your time segments.
I thought it was...
They missed so much.
Lucy Ball, but also Desi Arnaz, the stuff they did was so unbelievable.
They really didn't show much of that.
It was like, oh, 37 episodes, and it was all about the...
It was kind of like a...
A social justice warrior version of Lucy.
You know, about Ricky not being accepted as an American, Cuban, all this kind of stuff was in there.
Yeah, and there was no, I don't know, maybe it was true, but in some situations, but generally speaking, that's not true.
People weren't racist back then.
It was during the era where Cuban music was hot.
Yes, he was a superstar.
He was a superstar.
Yeah, he was.
But anyway, I wanted to see something like that from Betty White, and all we got was Lucy.
Well, Betty White actually had a special.
It's going to come out on her birthday, the 17th or whenever it is in a couple weeks.
They did a movie, a documentary about her entire life to celebrate her 100th birthday.
Oh, crap.
And she pulled a fast one.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
All right, everybody.
We've got to change the titles.
We've got to change the name of the show.
We've got to do a lot of graphic work, people.
We've got to go from 100 back to 99.
Ruins the edit.
Yeah.
Gotta do the voiceover again.
Every single time they said Centenian.
Centennian?
What is it?
Centenarian?
Centenarian.
Centenarian?
Centurion.
I don't know what that is, but I want...
Centurion's good, too.
Isn't that a person with claws for feet?
Probably.
Probably.
So, let's play a couple of these look-back clips.
Okay.
And another thing that was popular during that moment, I think it was largely triggered by something that happened at the beginning, and we had it at the first show of 2020, and I don't remember this, but Now that I hear it, I go, oh, brother, this was two years ago, the first show of 2020, not 2021, 2020.
It's classic.
It's another classic first show of 2020.
There was news, Joe, that Admiral Mike Rogers, the former head of the NSA, is voluntarily cooperating with John Durham's investigation.
I would think that might cause quite a bit of fervor for some folks like James Comey and others.
This is the biggest single development in the Durham investigation to date.
We were told, according to published reports, that Admiral Rogers has met several times with John Durham and that we now know...
That Admiral Rogers, who was the central figure in uncovering the illegal electronic spying done by the Obama administration prior to the Carter Page FISA warrants, the spying that went on from 2012 to 2016 involving FBI contractors illegally accepting NSA data.
Mr.
Rogers discovered that, reported it to the FISA court, All of that spying was stopped by her, and it led to the crescendo of illegal activity by Comey, Clapper, and Brennan.
It led to the so-called crossfire hurricane investigation to cover up that previous spying that had been going on.
Rogers has an electronic trail of all the spying that went on over five years.
He has personal notes.
A la James Comey, only this time they are not self-serving notes, they are the truth.
Mike Rogers, I have described as the Rosetta Stone of this investigation.
This is the single most important development in this.
I have been suggesting for a long time that ultimately Rogers would be the key to any criminal investigation.
That is coming true.
Thank you.
It was used for unmasking people and then leaking that information to the press.
And when the Attorney General talks about investigating private parties, he's talking not only about GPS Fusion and Glenn Simpson and all those people and Nellie Orr, he's talking about the contractors who were illegally accessing NSA databases at the request of Comey and Brennan.
Is this a very long, muffled way of you making fun of my thousands of sealed indictments?
No, I... You were making fun of it yourself.
That's a lot.
By the way, 10,000.
Let's get the numbers straight.
So we move on, and this was a big thing, and we already forget how important Q was at the beginning of 2020, 2021, because here's a clip from the first show of 2021.
This is LBQ, and this is Simon Park on Carrie Cassidy's show.
These are podcasts, and this is about Barr, and listen to this.
In terms of William Barr, William Barr did exactly what he was employed to do.
You know, there is a...
The most complicated game which has out-thought the bad actors.
Because it's this quantum computer, it is beyond the thinking of ordinary humans.
Ordinary humans cannot compete with quantum speed of light thought.
And so these traps and tricks and apparent mistakes or apparent failures are all part to draw the bad side out.
This is interesting in context of this show, because the QFS, or the Quantum Financial System, which is supposed to replace the entire financial network of how money moves, including off-world stations, was very closely linked to XRP, i.e.
Ripple.
Because that's what everyone was saying.
Oh, XRP is going to run on QFS with some LMNOP. Yeah.
But you know what?
Just because we have no proof doesn't mean these things aren't true.
Yeah, but that doesn't mean that Durham is going to do anything.
Hey, he's already got four indictments.
He's not done yet.
He's not done yet.
Well, let's go back.
Talking about the indictments, and I have one more clip after that about Q. Talking about the indictments, this is the beginning of 2021.
You mentioned that Durham's got the four indictments.
Well, apparently he's got a lot more coming because listen to, this is another podcast with Mike, the big expert.
He's very well connected.
He knows all the spooks.
He knows what's going on.
He knows what's going to happen.
Kind of like, uh, uh, The Genoa, who always...
If you remember, the Genoas, the indictments were always coming down next Wednesday.
Next Wednesday.
The way it always went like this.
It'd be next Wednesday or at the latest Friday.
At the latest Friday.
All the time.
Perpetually.
Yeah.
So this is the mic in the indictments.
This is again from the beginning of 2021.
All right.
It's a shopping list.
So you got to pay close attention.
And if you need something redone, just say stop, and I'll do it over.
Loretta Lynch, indicted.
Three counts of conspiracy to overthrow the government.
Two counts of obstruction of justice.
Three counts of lying to Congress.
Sally Yates, three counts of conspiracy to overthrow the government.
Three counts of obstruction of justice.
John Brennan, three counts of conspiracy to overthrow the government.
Three counts of lying to Congress.
That's pretty cool, though.
I've never heard that done.
We didn't play this clip.
We did play this clip.
We did?
I love the three counts.
Like, that makes it sound really official.
Not just some sealed indictment.
No, no, no.
With three counts.
Two counts of lying to investigators.
One count of conspiracy to commit treason.
Three counts of obstruction of justice.
Pause there.
Who was that?
John Brennan.
Okay, thank you.
Thank you.
I just wanted to make sure everybody got that big name there where you heard conspiracy to commit treason.
This stuff is jumping up the chain very quickly.
Go ahead, Mike.
James Clapper.
Three counts conspiracy to overthrow the government.
Two counts of lying to Congress.
CIA operatives indicted, no charges.
Or CIA operatives indicted, no charges listed.
Which means that I wasn't given those and I don't have their names.
James Comey, three counts of conspiracy to overthrow the government.
Six counts of perjury, four counts of obstruction of justice, four counts of falsifying government documents.
Andrew McCabe, three counts of conspiracy to overthrow the government, two counts of perjury, three counts of lying to Congress, one count of falsifying documents.
Bruce Orr, three counts of conspiracy to Actual, what the conspiracy is unknown.
But it's three counts of some kind of conspiracy.
I don't have the actual charge.
One count of falsifying documents.
Baker, indictment charges unknown.
Struck, three counts of conspiracy to overthrow the government.
Four counts of perjury, three counts of falsifying documents.
Four counts of falsifying documents unstruck?
You could have gotten to the punchline earlier.
But what's interesting that what you're doing here is you are conflating QAnon clips with John Durham's investigation and with Keith Alexander.
Which is very tricky.
And I suggest you talk to your CIA handler and tell them that we're on to this and it's just not working.
But it's okay.
I will reward you, John.
When you die, I will make sure there's a plaque that says, still waiting for thousands of sealed indictments.
Well, you can wait for a long time.
So now I want to go back and do the cue thing.
Now, this was a clip.
This one I don't know that we played.
I think we did because it's so great.
This is a clip of a woman.
Oh, yeah.
I remember this one.
Dr.
Kim.
Yes.
And Dr.
Kim is explaining Q to the kids that she's babysitting, from what I can tell.
And somebody recorded it, and it actually cracked up during the recording.
But it pretty much nails what the idea is, and the conflation, if there's ever been one, is the conflation between QAnon and quantum computing, where they made both of them the same.
So Q means quantum computing.
Ugh.
And there's this explanation of quantum computing, which I've heard before.
It's absolutely ludicrous, but fascinating.
And here we go.
Charlotte, Joshua, and Benjamin.
Okay, you guys.
So my name is Dr.
Tammy, okay?
And you asked what QAnon is, right?
And you want to know, have you ever heard of QAnon?
No.
Have you ever seen like stickers around that say Q? Are people talking about Q? No, I don't know.
But do you want to know what it is?
Yes.
Okay.
Have you heard of the military before, right?
Yeah.
Okay.
Have you heard of like the defense military?
Like the defense?
And have you heard of things like the intelligence agencies?
You've probably heard of like the FBI, CIA. So I think the very best one is called the DIA. So that's Department of Intelligence.
So we're going to start there.
Operation QAnon is a defense intelligence operation designed to wake the world up.
It is using Quantum, almost like Space Force.
Have you heard of the new Space Force?
Space Force technology.
Using a quantum computer to post messages from the future, real time.
I know, isn't that crazy, Tyler?
Are you blown away, Benji?
Yeah, me too, Mr.
Spider-Man.
Yeah, you've got your cookie to show it, right?
And your smile only comes to go with it, right?
So it's posting from the space force, right?
Using space-like quantum technology, posting from the future, real-time, to the internet, on a whistleblower board, for anybody to read.
I can't listen to this anymore.
It's real.
It's boring and the quality is horrible and out of context of the craziness of QAnon, it's just not working for me.
Okay.
In fact, do you have more of these?
Because there's other stuff we can talk about.
No, that was the last one.
The last one was actually, that was the second to the last one, but that was the last one because I switched to.
But I forgot all about the idea that these quantum computers were somehow hooked to the future.
I've never heard that part.
Oh, I've heard this before.
So the claim is that the quantum computers were getting messages from the future to be posted on the internet.
Well, I never heard this in that clip, but I've never heard this.
I've heard very different explanations of QFS. And it didn't come from QAnon people, which is interesting.
Well, but wait.
That was the beginning of 2021.
Well, then there was the extension of that, and it was the quantum watermark on the ballots.
Oh, yes.
Remember that one?
I forgot about that.
Yeah, that was, and then all of a sudden, that was part of the QFS and...
Let's go to some other fantasy, though.
How about climate change?
Since we're experiencing climate change right now in Texas, yesterday it was 70 degrees.
This morning it is 24.
Well, I call that weather change, but go on.
No, that's climate change.
Hello.
So, having experienced a very nasty couple of days in February last year where the energy went out, I'd like to know how things are going now.
Because, yeah, it's cold if we get an actual ice storm where we have the same problem as last year, which...
To remind everybody, had nothing to do with preparedness, had everything to do with the ERCOT, the energy resource, whatever douchebaggery that is, where they exchange energy and are buying and selling every five minutes.
But here's the report, which is not much more assuring.
This weekend comes a cold reminder of February's winter storm, Urie, when the state's power grid failed, knocking out power for millions and killing hundreds of Texans.
After state lawmakers passed a law requiring winterization of power plants, ERCOT released their inspection report Thursday, revealing only 10 of 302 generation resources and 6 of 22 transmission facilities needed to correct deficiencies, with many of them having done so already.
I give credit for the progress they've made there.
I think, though, there are still significant problems in the system.
For energy consultant Doug Lewin, those problems are with natural gas supply facilities, since they power many of those power plants, but were unable to do so last winter after freezing up.
There is no requirement from any regulatory body that gas supply be winterized this winter.
In recent meetings, the Railroad Commission of Texas, which regulates natural gas, pushed back on blame for last winter's outages.
The insistence that natural gas producers are the primary culprit of the February blackouts is pure hyperbole.
The new law does not require natural gas supply to winterize until a committee completes a report on which facilities need to make these preparations, which will likely happen in 2023 and won't happen this winter.
Lewin compares this predicament to a car.
You do everything to maintain your automobile to make sure it's in perfect working condition.
If you cannot get gas to put in the tank...
You're not going very far in that car.
Lewin also points out this winterization report, which paints a rosy picture of progress, comes a day after they released a report without any press release that drastically undershot the anticipated energy demand for the next five years by 10% when compared to what Texans actually demanded during the February storm.
The timing to me is...
Suspect, frankly, and they forecast that level of demand well out to 2026 and beyond, as if in the next five years they could never imagine another February happening.
They're running an entirely efficiently profitable market by keeping supply 10% under the demand that we know will come one day or the other, which will shoot their megawatt-hour prices up to $10,000.
And they won't be ready, because then the gas is diverted to residential.
They can do it again.
If they can get the weather going, which I think they can, they'll do it again.
It'll be Texas, you stupid idiots, you hicks with your grid, you can't keep it running.
The only person telling the truth here was the Texas rail guy.
It's like, hey, there's a couple of interesting things in that clip.
One was, he's yakking away, says, blah, blah, blah, without a press release.
They said that...
Yeah.
As if there's some sort of...
What is a press release required now for any kind of an announcement?
You have to have a press release or else?
Because they did a big press release about the preparedness.
Now, the other one...
Now, we have, like, fires occasionally.
We had one recently.
There's one in Colorado.
But the California hazard.
We had a...
Well, let's say we have an earthquake.
We'll have an earthquake.
Would it be wrong to say a big earthquake hit Oakland today and 14 people were killed?
Would that sound like something somebody maybe can report?
Yeah.
You would not hear, we had a big earthquake today and 14 Californians were killed.
What is with this Texans were killed?
Because we're others.
Yes.
You know what?
They also do it with Florida men.
I wonder what the deal is with saying Texans instead of people.
Because we're not people.
We're Texans.
Which they perceive as seething, infected hicks.
Texans.
Texans.
And we perceive as ubermension.
Of course.
Texas is the best.
We all know it.
So only I would notice this.
Yes.
It's a good observation, though.
And I'm going to make a point of it now.
We're people, too.
Nah.
No, really?
I want to go right back to these old clips.
No, no, no.
I don't want to because I want to continue with the wildfire in Colorado.
I have a report.
I already know what you're going to say.
Directed energy beam.
I have a report from a firefighter from Bad Chad who lives there whose house could have been burned down.
The staggering new images of destruction in Boulder County, Colorado, wildfires moving with blinding speed, wiping out two communities in just a matter of hours.
As many as 1,000 homes fear damage or destroy the fires fueled by hurricane force wind gusts topping 100 miles per hour.
Families given almost no notice to get out, many driving through the flames to find safety.
The governor saying, it's a miracle no one died.
President Biden promising federal aid as the same area is now bracing for up to half a foot of snow.
So when I saw this, I sent a note to Bad Chad because he lives in Erie, which is the next county.
It's very close to where this took place.
In fact, well, he sent me a note.
Everything's okay.
Main body of fire made it to about five miles of Casa de Chad.
Smoke plume was pretty extraordinary.
Got called into work to backfill crews that went to fight.
One small and one fairly large hospital had to be evacuated, which was like dropping a patient bomb on the remaining hospitals to which they were transferred.
Most of them were already on a divert status before the fire.
Now he's an EMT. One of our engine crews almost got burned over and had to cut their hoses and run to save themselves and the engine.
The wind has died down in between cooler temps and incoming snow.
It's basically a mop-up job at this point.
Initial reports suspected that wind knocked down electrical wires which sparked the fire.
This is a great narrative for the climate change and aging infrastructure, folks, but...
A little bird told me there's suspicion that this was arson.
It's being Google-washed, but there have been other suspicious fires in this area recently.
And he links to December 28th, a woman accused of starting a CU Boulder East Campus fire, prior arson history.
So there's been some people committing arson around the area.
And his inside word, and he's in essence the fire department, is this may have been arson.
Yeah.
I thought it was arson when I first heard about it.
Well, but the narrative is climate change, crazy storm, electrical wires.
Yeah.
Which I find that hard to buy.
Well, it's easy to use electrical wires because it's been proven to actually cause some fires in California, so now it could be used anywhere as an excuse.
Which is also arson.
What?
In California.
Is it also arson?
No, there's some arson.
There's no doubt about that.
But the big fire they had last year or the year before, it was PG&E. The final...
Well, I have two more climate change things.
One is that Sir Gene is all jacked.
He wanted to make sure I saw that there is indeed such a thing as the CO2 coalition.
People who are now petitioning for more carbon dioxide, which Sir Gene is one of them.
He has his house rigged so that he has about 1,100 parts per million carbon dioxide inside.
I can't believe he's not dead.
There was a clip that I almost clipped another one of these from about a year ago where some greenhouse people have been pumping up the greenhouses with That number or higher to get these plants to grow nuts.
Yep.
Well, Gene says that if we could get it high enough, the dinosaurs will come back.
He says the reason there's no dinosaurs is they had a lot more carbon dioxide.
I don't know about that.
That's what he says.
That was a lot more back in the day.
Well, it had to be.
It had to be.
But yeah, people want...
Yeah, I totally...
He has it for his snakes.
He has snakes in the house.
That's why he's very important for the reptiles.
Okay.
Germany, amidst all of this, shutting down half of its six remaining nuclear plants, which is just insane.
Although France, again, building new ones.
So there's a rift that could cause another war.
And Desmond Tutu will be cremated in green fashion with aquamation.
Which is something to consider.
And the greenies are making a big deal out of this.
Have you heard of Aquamation?
No.
It has something to do with water.
Yes, that much I got too.
Alkaline hydrolysis.
The body of the deceased is immersed for three to four hours in a mixture of water and strong alkali, such as potassium hydroxide, in a pressurized metal cylinder and heated...
It makes you a gob of goo!
And heated...
And heated to around 150 degrees Celsius.
The process liquefies, or as you would say, gob of goo, everything except for the bones which are then dried in an oven to reduce to white dust, placed in an urn, and handed to relatives.
This is much more environmentally friendly.
It sounds to me like they cook you like a lobster.
They cook you like a lobster.
It's nasty.
Well, and along those...
This is what the mob does to people.
They throw them into a...
Yes, I got news for you.
Sodium or potassium hydroxide, either one, and it dissolves you.
So how is this good?
Soylent Green, the 1970s movie, where we learn that...
One of my favorites.
Yes, where we learn that Soylent Green is people...
The year it was set in?
2022.
Well, we're getting there with the, only it's not Soylent Green it's going to be.
Well, you know, there's a product out called Soylent.
Yeah.
I'm sure.
It's pretty good.
What is it?
It's a breakfast drink.
Mm-hmm.
It's people.
It's people.
Did you know?
It's overpriced protein drink.
Because it's people.
It's expensive.
Harvest that stuff.
Now I want to go back to looking back to one more clip.
Okay.
This is, you're going to remember this, and this was like, you'd think this would have been scandalous and all the rest, and this was something that happened in 2020, but it was reported on in our first show in 2022, and it's one of those, oh yeah, I remember that.
The clip will be first news of 2021.
Now I know that this Christmas is a bit different than Christmases in the past.
We're meeting virtually and online and not able to be in person with as many family and friends as we'd like to.
And I want to thank each and every one of you for what we are doing to protect our most vulnerable while we celebrate this very, very special but challenging holiday season.
It's all there.
The folksy hay there, the fireplace, the sip of eggnog at the end, the lovely words, a beautiful Christmas message from a politician to his constituents.
That, of course, is Ontario's finance minister, Rod Phillips.
But unbeknownst to us, that whole scene might have been a bit of a ruse.
While that image and that video was tweeted to Ontarians, we have now found out that Rod Phillips was sunning himself on a beach in St.
Barts.
And it's been a big mystery as to where is Ontario's finance minister.
Just a few short weeks ago, the Toronto Sun started inquiring to his office as we had heard rumors that Rod Phillips had left the country.
Well, how could that possibly be?
Rod Phillips is a leader in this province.
He is one of the most senior cabinet ministers.
He is also part of the team that crafted the lockdown rules where we saw the big box stores stay open where the small businesses were shut down.
He couldn't possibly have said to all Ontarians stay home, shut down, and then jetted off to a sunny vacation.
Well, it turns out that's exactly what he did.
So as news broke that Rod Phillips had indeed gone on a very lovely vacation, while the rest of us cancelled our trips, cancelled our vacations, cancelled seeing family, basically cancelled Christmas, did everything by Skype and Zoom and FaceTime, just like the government told us to, only move for essential services, the finance minister of Ontario decided that he's going to get on a plane and go to St.
Bart's.
You know what's...
Disconcerting to me is every single one of these LB clips, I don't remember at all.
Oh, I remember that clip when I've heard it again.
It's disconcerting to me because I've been looking at these old shows.
I remember shit, man.
That's why I'm like, am I slipping?
What's going on here?
No, that one I guarantee we played.
Hmm.
Because it was so silly.
And this was predated the Gavin Newsom gaffe.
Ah, French Laundry.
Right.
French Laundry.
And then, of course, what's-his-face, Ted Cruz.
Right, Cruz takes off.
And wasn't it the mayor of Austin?
Oh, yeah.
Adler went to Mexico as well as Timeshare.
Yeah, he had to go check it out.
Well...
That's interesting because I have a clip of now.
I have a complaint, but also a clip of Justin Trudeau.
This clip was sent to me by six different producers.
And every single one said, oh my god, listen to this clip of Justin Trudeau saying everybody who doesn't want to get vaccinated is an extremist and a racist.
And that's all they sent.
This is 45 seconds of this in French.
I can speak a little French, but why did no one consider for a second to translate it for us?
Go look online.
Twitter.
Everywhere.
Oh, I can't believe you said...
There's no captions.
There's no nothing.
Maybe it's a running gag.
It possibly is.
I mean, I'm here.
I'm talking about extremists and racists.
And, you know, I can pick stuff up.
It's too fast for me, for my high school French.
Oh, well, it's also a flat French.
And it's Quebecian.
It's Quebecian, or whatever you call it.
Uh, Quebecois.
Ooh, Quebecois.
The, um...
I think because these guys are wearing masks, I think it's just overdub.
Find some good mimic.
Yeah, just do that.
He wasn't wearing a mask when he was saying this.
No, I know.
They all got a clue because that was starting to go on.
People were starting to say stuff.
Figure it out.
Well, the extreme...
I see you have a January 6th clip from NPR. Yeah.
Yeah, this is the update, and this has got a kind of a boing moment in it.
Maybe I even have some sound effects in this one.
You might even put a boing in there.
Uh-huh.
Well, it is NPR. The investigation into the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol is approaching the one-year anniversary.
As NPR's Ryan Lucas reports, officials say the probe is one of the largest in U.S. history.
More than 700 people have been charged in the Capitol riot investigation so far, and more are being indicted on a weekly basis as FBI agents chase down leads and prosecutors put cases together.
Of the defendants who have been charged, around 150 have pleaded guilty.
Of those, just under half have been sentenced.
Most of them for misdemeanor offenses such as unlawfully parading or picketing in a Capitol building.
Ha ha!
Well, at least they're telling the truth.
Well, let's get this straight.
The largest investigation in U.S. history for a bunch of misdemeanor, basically parking tickets?
Yes, that's correct.
Yeah, well, the truth is coming out about that, too.
There's video now of the cops relentlessly beating people from a point that was never seen before.
There's all kinds of stuff.
We know that this was not a 9-11 type event.
But no one's really challenging it anymore.
So it just goes down in the history books as, hey, again, the anniversary's coming up.
Everyone's talking about the anniversary.
You know, they'll probably issue, Homeland Security will issue a very stern warning that we may have insurrectionists celebrating the anniversary of the insurrection by jaywalking.
Yeah.
NPR did something else which came from an op-ed and I pulled a clip from it because the whole movement, this January 6th bull crap, everything is just to make sure that should Donald Trump run, which to my knowledge he is, that he can't run.
They'll do anything they can and let's bring in the military to give us a hand, shall we?
As we approach the first anniversary of the January 6th Capitol riot, three retired U.S. generals are warning that another insurrection could occur after the next presidential election in 2024, and they are sounding the alarm that next time it could come from the military.
They made their case in a recent Washington Post op-ed, and joining us now is one of the authors, retired Army Major General Paul Eaton.
General Eaton, welcome.
Mary Louise, thank you very much for having me.
So the scenario that you imagine is that after a 2024 election, a losing candidate could what?
Could contest the results, claim to be commander-in-chief, and some members of the military might take orders from them?
Mayor Louise, the real question is, does everybody understand who the duly elected president is?
If that is not a clear-cut understanding, that can infect the rank and file or at any level in the U.S. military.
So, if you have that kind of confusion around the 2020 election, it is not outlandish to consider that you're going to have a little bit of confusion, and that confusion could slip into the ranks of the U.S. military.
And to understand exactly what you're concerned about, are you more worried about rank-and-file soldiers who might sympathize with anti-democratic views?
Are you more worried about officers giving their units orders that would be unconstitutional?
No.
Did it seem to you like they had edited that repeat in there?
He had just said that.
I've noticed this a lot with NPR. And you know for a fact that they post their...
Oh, it's all posts, of course.
And you realize that when you...
Because I'm editing usually, like I take a clip from NBC, ABC, and they go, and we've got in Beirut, there's Bill is ready to give us a report.
Bill, go ahead.
One, two, three, four.
Thanks, Jesse.
So there's always these gaps, and I just cut them out.
NPR has none of those gaps.
This is all pre-produced, and they've all been edited down.
So in the process, in fact, if they're doing that, which is what I would do, They can be doing more stuff and screwing it up a lot because they're under pressure.
They're minimum wage.
You know, I consider it a minimum wage job to do tape.
Well, let's just listen to this again, that one bit.
To me, it sounded like he said this could slip into the U.S. military ranks.
And he comes back and he says it again with what sounded like an inserted piece.
I know I'm ant screwing around here, but...
Propaganda, man.
Does everybody understand who the duly elected president is?
If that is not a clear-cut understanding, that can infect the rank and file or at any level in the U.S. military.
So, if you have that kind of confusion around the 2020 election, it is not outlandish to consider that you're going to have a little bit of confusion, and that confusion could slip into the ranks of the U.S. military.
Sounded like an edited piece.
I don't know why.
Maybe it was coughing.
Who knows?
Are you more worried about rank-and-file soldiers who might sympathize with anti-democratic views?
Are you more worried about officers giving their units orders that would be unconstitutional?
What?
Frankly, it could be a little bit of all the above because we saw it in 2020.
And the concern is to ensure that...
We have a very clear understanding.
I'm sorry, did we see that in 2020?
What are you talking about?
He's lying.
Orders that would be unconstitutional?
He said that there were...
So he's going to confirm...
No, we saw this in 2020 where officers were giving orders that were unconstitutional.
Let's listen again.
Rank-and-file soldiers who might sympathize with anti-democratic views.
Are you more worried about officers giving their units orders?
Holy crap!
How about setting up that question?
Are you worried that rank-and-file might have anti...
Anti-constitutional views?
Anti-democratic views.
Exactly what you're concerned about.
Are you more worried about rank-and-file soldiers who might sympathize with anti-democratic views?
Are you more worried about officers giving their units orders that would be unconstitutional?
What?
Frankly, it could be a little bit of all the above because we saw it in 2020.
And the concern is to ensure that We have a very clear understanding of the support and defend the Constitution of the United States part of our oath and that everybody in the U.S. military truly understands how that oath works.
We're going to re-educate you so you understand how the oath works.
How to understand the civilian leadership of the U.S. military.
You said it's not outlandish to contemplate a scenario like this, but it is outlandish.
I mean, this is the United States of America.
As you noted, we have civilian control of the military.
No, we don't.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how worried actually are you about the possibility of a military insurrection following a contested result in 2024?
I see it as a low probability, high impact.
I hesitate to put a number on it.
But it's an eventuality that we need to prepare for.
Hey, she said, oh, civilian control of the military.
No, we had to get an exception for that Jamoak because he's a general.
What's his name?
What are you talking about?
Miley?
No, the Chief of the Joint Chiefs.
Our defense secretary.
Defense guy?
Oh, right.
They had to get an exception because he's not a civilian.
He wasn't out long enough.
Yeah, well, that's the law.
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
Well, that's like the FBI director.
How did Mueller stay in so long?
Yeah, well, they got an exception.
Was it Mueller?
Yeah, it was Mueller.
Yeah, there are always these exceptions.
Breaking the law, breaking the law.
But you see the setup there.
You see what it is.
They're going to purge more people from the military, maybe?
Yes.
Bingo!
Yeah, they've been trying to purge people from the military who are like, you know, anything other than a Democrat, woke soldier.
They've been doing it.
That's what was going on in 2020.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
I know that we're doing it then, but this is pretty brazen, this op-ed.
I don't know.
Have you ever heard of this guy?
I've never heard of this guy before.
Of course not.
He's just the guy who comes on and says stuff.
There's another thing going on.
I've got two clips for this, and this is the Iranian thing.
Have you heard what's going on over there?
No, I don't think so.
Oh, they're renegotiating the thing, but they're doing it.
Do you remember when Obama was the president and they were having these Iran talks?
Yeah, it was the Iran nuclear deal.
Yeah, and Kerry was over there, and there was this one Iranian guy who was just insulting him endlessly.
Well, Kerry's daughter is married to some Iranian douche.
But this guy at the...
Well, maybe that's the reason.
Yeah.
But at these meetings, they were just...
He was just insulting him left and right until Trump got in and straightened things out and just closed this whole thing down.
Well, I think there's something of an insult going on again because these guys are weak.
They're weak.
Listen to this report and you'll hear some factoid or two you're unfamiliar with.
With this WTF, obviously for the reasons that this is on here, Iran talks one.
For the first time in months, there are signs that negotiators are making progress toward reviving the deal that put limits on Iran's nuclear program in exchange for relief from economic sanctions.
That was the major agreement the Obama administration made in 2015 and that the Trump administration abandoned in 2018, saying it wasn't tough enough.
The talks have been taking place in Vienna and now they're taking a short break for New Year's.
NPR's Peter Kenyon has been following the story and joins us now from Istanbul.
Hey, Peter.
Hi, David.
President Biden has been talking about getting back into.
Why was this week different?
Well, Russia's envoy to the talk sounded quite pleased with the progress made so far.
That includes getting Iran to confirm it still agrees with everything they negotiated so far.
The Iranian view is also positive, mainly because lifting sanctions is on the table, and that's their big goal, including this question of verification.
Iran's been saying there can be no return to the restrictions in the nuclear deal before sanctions are lifted and that lifting is verified by Tehran.
Not quite clear how that happens.
But in terms of progress, these talks are apparently back on track despite a five-month pause and despite the election of a new hardline president in Iran.
And of course, despite former President Donald Trump's pullout from the deal in 2018 and re-imposition of sanctions.
Now, on the other hand, Iran's space launch of a satellite carrier this week is causing concern.
France called it regrettable that it happened just as progress was being made at the Vienna talks.
A thought.
So they send this missile up.
They're pushing it.
How can people...
Go ahead.
But listen, he says the Russians are reporting on how good it is.
Why are the Russians reporting on this?
Why aren't we reporting on it?
And you're going to find out why in clip two.
We're not even in these meetings.
Just to be clear about this, Peter, Americans are not in the room, right?
There are no direct U.S.-Iran talks happening.
Whoa!
You got butt slammed!
That is absolutely right, and not even in the same building.
The Europeans, Russians, and Chinese, they sit with the Iranians in the quite luxurious Coburg Palace Hotel, and then some of the delegates walk over to the Marriott, where the Americans are staying.
This does slow things down, but the Iranians say that's the price the U.S. pays for pulling out of the deal and reimposing sanctions on Iran.
And what are American officials, and others for that matter, saying about how the talks are going?
Well, U.S. officials want it done quickly.
They don't want talks to drag on while Iran continues to break limits set out in the agreement.
For instance, Iran is currently enriching nuclear fuel to 60% purity.
that's closer than they've ever been to weapons-grade fuel.
Some delegates do seem to think it's possible to wrap up these Vienna talks before the end of January.
Certainly, the Biden administration is keen to avoid having to manage a nuclear crisis with Iran.
Israel, however, has been pressing for some time for more pressure on Iran, including the threat of military action, if that's what it takes to keep Iran from becoming a nuclear threshold state.
Oh, wow!
That's great!
This administration has lost total control of everything.
Yeah.
And how about this for a thought?
You guys can stay over there at the Marriott.
We'll be over here in the luxury hotel in Vienna.
And you guys stay over there.
We'll let you know what happens.
You just go over there.
Okay, well, we want this to wrap up pretty quick.
Can you make sure it wraps up pretty quick and somebody help us out here?
I mean, it's Weenieville.
It's unbelievable.
So, first back to Kerry.
His daughter is married to the son of...
Javad Sarif, who was at the time Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Rouhani administration, and he didn't disclose that.
Now, a thought about this deal, look at who else is in it, Russia, China, I'm thinking, you know, the whole world knows that this climate change bullcrap is not going to work, and that we shut off all gas, pretty much.
No one can use gas anymore for electricity or heat, and certainly not in Europe.
They're closing down in Germany.
They're completely dead.
They're clueless there.
I don't know why Schroeder is allowing this to happen, but he's shutting down the nuclear plants.
But everyone else, France, building new ones.
Bill Gates, investing in new...
All the climate people are starting to say, oh, maybe nuclear, maybe nuclear.
And maybe this was all set up and ready because look who's producing really cheap nuclear fuel, which we'll need.
Iran could become the producer for the nukes in China, for the nukes in Russia.
That's what they say they want to do.
Yeah.
That's the...
They'll build a bomb if they have to.
Well, it's details.
We know that the UFOs disable those.
They don't work.
So we don't have to worry about it.
It's just fear-mongering.
All right.
I've got kind of a silly report.
Something you'd be interested in for sure.
Okay.
This is the return, apparently, the mullet is back in the game.
What do you mean, I'd be interested in that?
Because it's interesting.
Oh.
Hold on to your hats or take them off.
The 80s hairstyle known as the mullet is making a comeback.
You know, business in the front, party in the back.
Well, one Michigan stylist is making this cut a specialty.
And if she can bring back that look, we can bring back this story from Michelle Jokish-Polo from member station WKAR about the mullet queen of Michigan.
After a bad hair day years ago, Ashley Medina decided she needed a hairstyle that would look cool no matter what.
The only thing that came to mind was a mullet.
So she shaved the sides of her head, cut the hair on the top of her head finger length, and left 10 inches of long curly black hair flowing in the back.
Medina now spends her days making other people's mullet dreams come true.
So this one is what I call a soft mullet.
She's using a pair of scissors to give Aaron Best his very first mullet.
I feel like that's what makes it a true, bona fide, certified regulation mullet.
You gotta have the ears exposed, otherwise it's considered more of like a shag haircut.
Best made the two-hour drive from Toledo, Ohio, to Medina's hair salon after seeing her on TikTok.
I kind of always liked the appeal of a mullet, and just I figured why not?
It's kind of in this, it's a little bit longer right now.
It's why not?
I mean, I kind of already had a leg up on it.
Medina says mulletification, as she calls it, always begins with a client consultation on TikTok.
Last time we did a mixture of like 80s and trashy, and I think I want to lean a little bit more towards trashy this time.
That's Al Durham getting a consultation on TikTok.
He told me his first mullet helped propel his landscaping business, a business he later named Guy with a Mullet Landscaping.
I'm out working in a yard all day, so I like to have the back of my neck covered from the sun.
I've said it before, melanoma is a silent killer, so the convenience of the front where it's not in my face, but protecting the back of my neck is really nice.
Not to mention they're just sweet.
They look cool.
This story was run on NPR. This was last week.
Are you there?
Yeah, I'm listening.
It was last week, and I recorded it.
I didn't use it on the last show.
They ran it again yesterday.
And listening to this, they ran it.
This is like the third time they've run this story.
NPR is promoting the mullet.
German best are two of over a half a million people tuning in day after day to Medina's mullet cuts on TikTok.
The infamous haircut may have risen to mainstream fame in the 80s, but the hairstyle has been around for centuries.
The roots of the modern-day mullet can be traced back to Native American people from the far northeastern corner of the world.
Today, the mullet is more than just a distinctive 80s haircut.
Medina says mullets are popular on men, women, and non-binary people.
But that is something that I really love about the mullet, is that there is no gender to it, really.
I think that there can be a more masculine look or a more feminine look, but overall, the hairstyle in general can definitely suit all genders.
Holy crap!
The elites are trying to turn us into a genderless bunch of mullets!
You got it!
This is an...
This is...
Okay, at first I thought, why is John doing this?
It's a long way to go to insult me.
He's not that passive-aggressive.
And then, oh my God!
And by the way, the mullet is apparently cultural appropriation.
Yet, no, it's okay.
You can use the mullet because it's gender-neutral.
Wow.
What do you think, that everything I do is just to insult you?
I mean, I do have a one-liner once in a while, yeah.
But no, there's a reason for playing this clip.
And the point that they've played the same thing three times on NPR. The answer to that, by the way, is yeah, kind of.
But it's okay.
It's okay.
This is a very good observation.
So they're promoting, NPR is promoting this genderless mullet, which is a...
Piece of shit hairdo, by the way.
And I've never had one.
I see a guy wearing them nowadays.
I say, you look like a lesbian wearing that thing.
Which is the point.
Who knew?
Yes, exactly.
But I will say this.
They slipped in that thing about the gardener with the hair covering his neck because of melanoma.
That was tricky.
That was a good one.
But except for that, no.
Well, I'll have you know I've never had a mullet.
You had a fro.
I've never had a fro either.
Well, whatever it was.
It was patented.
There was nothing that came before it and nothing like it after.
And it should be in a museum.
I'm going to show my support by donating to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on No Agenda.
Isn't it the same hairstyle that Stern still wears?
No, no.
Stern's never had a mullet either.
It's really...
No, no.
I'm talking about your old cut.
No, no.
He doesn't even come close.
No way.
Never.
No, no, no, no, no.
Never.
That hair that he has is just to cover his ugly mug.
I think it's a wig, isn't it?
No.
No, it's not a wig.
No.
Well, it should be.
He always wanted to look like Joey Ramone a little bit.
You know, that kind of deal.
Like rock and roll punk guy.
Punk guy who loves Hillary Clinton.
All right.
Keep on going, buddy.

Yes, I'll do it in order.

And as we discussed earlier, after the apocalypse, you might just wind up with a useful little piece of land.
So it's worth the considering.
Now, our one night for today.
We just discussed him, Sir Chad.
I brought a special boost blade for him.
Here you go.
I got the same blade.
I didn't know you had one.
Ow!
I keep doing that.
Sorry about that.
Sir Chad, step it up!
Or I should say Chad Farrow.
We're about to make you a Chad.

No agenda.
Meet-ups.
It's not your party.
Well, of course, end of year, beginning of New Year.
Things have wound down a little bit, but they will be kicking in in January.
We do have a report from the Local 33 meetup in Oregon.
Hello!
Happy New Year!
We're here at the Oregon Local 33.
Happy birthday, Rachel!
Woo!
Happy New Year, and listen to Integrate Yourself.
Thank you for being here.
Hey, this is Millennial Mel, the singing world floater.
Hi, and Happy New Year!
It's Georgiana and Sean, the newlyweds!
You didn't even stop doing it!
In the morning!
Sarah, the fall of the cabal is finally going to stop making episodes, because it's coming down.
Hey, it's Liam.
Hope, Adam, and John get to Portland soon for their bag of dicks.
Rachel's waiting for you.
No, I'm not.
I think that's a food or something?
A bag of dicks?
They sent pictures.
They were holding up brown paper bags.
A bag of dicks?
What place is this?
Oregon?
Well, there's a lot of dicks in Oregon, maybe.
I don't know.
No, I have a feeling it's burgers.
There you go.
It's burgers.
Thank you, Troll Room.
Oh, a bag of dicks burgers.
Dicks burgers.
Yeah, there you go.
Oh, it's like a bag of White Castle's.
Okay.
No, it's better when you can say bag of dicks on a report, on the show.
It's so much funnier than a bag of White Castle's.
Sliders.

Okay, I'm just reading what I was told.
North Idaho on the 15th, Jupiter, Florida, Tampa Bay, Tarpon Springs, Florida, and Durham, North Carolina, along with Virginia, all on the 15th.
There's a shoot meetup.
On the 15th in Lockhart, Texas, which is my local 512, I'm really pissed about that because I have to be at a wedding in Dallas that weekend.
Yeah.
Who's getting married?
Vic Pepe.
Not Vic Pepe, but his daughter.
I don't think you know Vic.
No.
I don't know his daughter either.
No, you don't.
I don't think I've ever met his daughter.
He's in Dallas.
He's one of the old South Jersey crew back in the Alice Cooper, Skid Row, Bon Jovi days.
Yeah.
Vic is the man.
That's kind of sounded weird, like Vic Pepe's getting married now.
His daughter is.
But it's a fancy wedding.
It's a black tie.
So, I'll be doing the show from there.
The 16th, Atascadero.
You're going to be doing the show from Dallas?
Yes, I will.
That's a first.
No, I've done it before during the podcast awards.
I was playing Fort Worth, but still, Dallas area.

Your no-agenda meetups.
Special thanks for another great year of noagentameetups.com to Sir Daniel, our knight, who set that all up.
It's working fantastic.
It's a huge resource for everybody.
And I recommend you go and find a meetup near you.
If one's not near you, go ahead, start your own.
People will come.
Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
You want to be where you won't be.
Triggered or held the flame.
You want to be where everybody feels the same.
It's like a party.
Okay.
Iso time.
Yeah.
What do you got?
I have several.
Here we go.
What is that?
That's our buddy, Jill Abrams.
It's a real odd thing.
A little too long.
A little bit.
What happiness?
Put that mask on, you little kid!
That's just a good clip.
If I cut this...
Put that mask on, you little kid!
There's that one.
Over.
Finished.
And, yeah, that's all I got.
All right, well, I've got some practical ones.
This one might not be practical, but it's a good one.
This is the ISO dead raccoon.
Hold on.
Here we go.
Only in San Francisco.
I think we've done this ISO before, after the story.
Maybe.
I ran into it with doing my research.
Okay, then we got thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Which is an end.
Nice end.
And then the other end, which is the most practical one, which is Happy New Year.
Happy New Year!
Aw, it's too cute to pass up.
Only day we can play it, kind of.
Yeah, pretty much.
Yeah, that's good.
Okay.
I have a...
Let me see.
Just a little update.
This clip kind of answers my question that I posed the other day.
Like, how can someone get convicted just on witness testimony with no other evidence?
And I said, well, if that's true, then this should happen.
Next, the fallout from the sex trafficking conviction of Ghislaine Maxwell's.
Scrutiny is focused on Prince Andrew, a friend of Maxwell, and deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Andrew is accused of sexually abusing one of Epstein's alleged victims while she was underage, a claim Andrew denies.
Andrew's attorneys want the accuser's civil suit thrown out.
There's a hearing in the case on Tuesday.
From what I'm reading, doesn't mean it's true.
There's all kinds of crisis and panic going on about this.
Good.
Although, I like the choice of words.
Interesting.
That he sexually abused her.
I don't think that's the charge.
I mean, that he had sex with a minor would be the charge, but they're talking about sexually abused.
I hadn't heard that before.
It seems new.
Probably, yes.
They're just trying to embarrass the guy as much as they can because they're not going to get him over here, let's face it.
The Queen won't allow it.
We have a better chance of getting Julian Assange over here.
Ugh!
Don't bring that up.
I have a couple things here.
I got a clip with good vocal fry that's worth listening to.
It's from NPR. It's the vocal fry girl from the chip shortage.
I also have a little update on the travel situation, which is a mess.
Well, how about this for a second?
Because I can hook into this in both ways.
If you have a vocal fry, I happen to have a Jill Abramson clip.
No.
Yes.
A brand new one.
On the politics war room with James Carville.
Well, then you have to finish with that because this has to go first.
There's no way this girl has the chops.
Well, I don't know.
I mean, I was going to say, why don't we do the Jill Abramson first because she's the OG Hummer.
You identified her as the Berkeley Hummer way before the vocal fry came in.
So she's the OG. She is the genesis block of Fry.
That's why I think you should finish with the best.
But we're going to hear a much better fry from your girl.
No, she's just going to be kind of an amateur fry compared to Abrams, who's a pro.
It's nothing like the iPad.
I mean, it's good, but I don't want to oversell it.
I don't want you to think that...
Oh, I see what you're saying.
You're worried that it's not as good as it could be.
No, I'm worried that your fry will be better than my fry.
I don't think so, but go ahead and play her first, and we'll just play mine out.
Okay.
An oddity of our times now is I feel that we've never had a president or a vice president meeting Biden and Harris, who are sort of more,
in some ways, invisible and Not in the forefront of the consciousness of the public than this pair of leaders.
And maybe it's an effect of exhaustion post-Donald Trump, who dominated everything, but it was.
It seems, like, very weird to me.
Ooh, there we go.
A little fry.
It's not just that they are poor communicators, and we've talked about in previous Sunday sessions, you know, the horrible...
The complete lack of a communication strategy by this White House.
But it's more than that.
It's a weird absence of both leadership and the leaders themselves that...
I've never seen in my professional life.
It just strikes me as odd.
I don't think many Americans, you know, are really discussing Joe Biden very much or thinking about him very much.
You see, in this fry-off, I think I'm going to lose the fry-off.
You know, I have to say this.
You left a question out that was asked of her because I know what it was.
Oh.
How you doing, Jill?
Yeah, no, I'm afraid you're going to grab the fry title.
Well, me, because there's actually facts and information in this one.
Yeah, I know.
I'm sorry.
And the fry is just a secondary thing.
So let's play it.
It's called the chip shortage.
It's about the chip shortage in cars.
Auto industry experts say that next year, the chip shortage will continue, prices will still be high, but sales will go up.
As NPR's Camila Domenoski reports, this comes after a wild year for car makers.
All year long, a lack of semiconductors has kept auto production down.
And that reduced supply has pushed prices very high.
On average, new vehicles are now going for hundreds of dollars over sticker price.
The chip shortage is expected to last months longer.
Some experts predict it will stretch into 2023.
But people who have already put off buying a car might not be willing to wait much longer.
So, auto data site Edmunds predicts that this pent-up demand will drive car sales to increase next year.
Despite sky-high prices and continuing production challenges.
and Okay, a couple things.
First, I think on content, I lost.
On Fry, I win.
Yeah.
I told you.
I didn't listen to you.
She's not trying.
She's going to beat anybody.
I choked.
I choked.
I thought I was bringing a rubber knife to a fry fight.
Well, actually, to be honest about it, I like the way we did this with yours first, because yours was extremely boring.
And I will agree with you on that.
But there was something else in here that I liked, as this poor fry lady is reading the script.
She herself laughs at the pun.
Did you catch it?
No, I did not.
It's so bad, and yet she laughs at the pun.
Three.
But people who have already put off buying a car might not be willing to wait much longer.
So, auto data site Edmunds predicts that this pent-up demand will drive car sales to increase next year.
Drive, get it?
Get it?
Oh, God.
And she laughed over it.
Auto data site Edmunds predicts that this pent-up demand will drive car sales to increase next year.
She's probably sleeping with a rider.
Yeah, probably.
That's what's going on there.
Yeah, that's recommended.
We need to have a meeting with her.
That has to stop.
Okay, I think we got the drunk Andy Cohen bit.
You probably heard about that.
Oh, now this is kind of important, and I did smack my lips, because it's one last piece of actual information about China.
On Friday, China warned Walmart against removing products made in Xinjiang, a region where the U.S. government accuses China of running forced labor camps in the country's northwest, home to millions of Muslim minorities.
In a statement, Beijing said, In a recent interview, when asked to name the biggest national security challenges facing the U.S., Vice President Harris said our democracy and the climate, she did not mention China.
The Washington Post reports China's ramping up its mining of social media, including Facebook and Twitter, in an effort to boost its own propaganda.
Boost!
Boost!
I love how they're not allowing sissy bands anymore.
No mullet for China.
How can they even allow the mullet to be on TikTok?
Because it's targeting us.
They want us to wimpify.
Yes, exactly.
You know, it's so obvious.
It's so obvious what's happening.
The virus, you know.
Probably something with the finances, the food, they're taking our food, they're making us sissies.
Make us eat peas.
Make us eat peas instead of meat.
When will someone...
What do you think is going to happen in...
Just a quick prognostication over the next year.
Where do you think we'll end up?
Will things go well?
Worse than we are now.
Can you want to put a scientific level on that?
A dollar amount on it?
No, that's okay.
That's okay.
Hmm.
Dude.
The car prices, because I've talked to a couple of dealers, they're trying to buy my car.
And they're offering almost the same I paid for it.
Yeah.
And that to me, that tells me that...
Something's wrong.
I'm hearing 18 months, there was a story about a man in Austin orders new car, a Ford, mind you.
And was told about 18 months.
Now, I don't know if it was something special.
I'm sure there could be some bullcrap local story, but...
There's cars all over the lots?
I don't know what he's talking about.
Yeah, second-hand cars, but new cars, no.
No, new cars.
And every pitch you get from the car dealers, like, hey, you know, I got a car on the ship right now.
It'll be here in six weeks, I promise.
Sell me your car.
No, something's up with that.
Well, they screwed it up, these guys.
I mean, first they put too much, again, relying too much on computers.
They had to computerize all the cars and make them internet capable and all the other crap that's going on.
In the original, not to build back better, but the infrastructure bill, there's a proviso in there that I think in 2026, all cars have to be remote controllable.
Remote controllable.
They all have to have a kill switch.
Yes, remote controllable and also won't start without a breathalyzer test.
Well, that's an option.
It's not for everybody, but yeah.
I don't know about that.
It's not for everybody.
They do have the kill switch available, so there goes Bill.
Let's hit the button.
Yeah.
What would the tech crowd say?
In my days, we had an alternator.
We liked it that way.
No, in my day we had a generator.
Generator.
The alternator came after the generator.
All right.
Indeed.
I'm from the alternator days.
I should go find that Tech Garage guy and produce some more of his specials.
I think that would be a great idea because he is a beloved figure in Gitmo Nation.
And he's still talking about Bakelite Phone, so I'm just saying.
Well, Bakelite Phone is the best.
I have no idea what's coming up next.
Oh, and I do, actually.
It's the Lotus Podcast with Lena and Phone Boy.
All righty now.
There you go.
That's next on NoAgendaStream.com.
End of show mix.
We've got that cool ACDC mix, as CDC says.
And Gus Augustine will tell you where to take the jab and what you can do with it.
You know, last week I did the show with Fletcher.
Oh, you did the bowl after bowl?
The hog story.
No, no.
The smoking log.
Hog story, yes.
Yeah, and?
Fletcher's got a radio announcer's voice.
Dude, he's got like a big booming voice.
Yeah, he's got the voice.
So it kind of surprises me he can do that scream.
Oh, no, that doesn't surprise me.
Oh, the guy's multi-talented.
But he's got the big voice.
In the business, it used to be called Big Balls.
Yes.
Big balls.
Well, thanks for promoting that.
You should have done that earlier.
I could have talked about it as a Podcasting 2.0 promotion, which I didn't do.
So, I mean, I could have gone on and sound like I was there, but no.
They want it to sound like a phone.

Take this jab and shook I ain't taking your poison shot Now I've been
watching these politicians licking their greasy chops Locking us down, masking us up, chasing us with jackboot cops They're partying hardy with the businessmen high on their power trip Thinking we're slaves who have to do what they say.
Cracking their clod shot whip.
Take this jab and shut.

Take this jab and shove it.
I ain't taking your poison shot.
Now vaccines normally take 10 years to develop and test them right.
This Pfizer took about 43 days.
Damn, that's dynamite.
But it's causing miscarriages and heart attacks in young and healthy folks I know.
They're dying or in pain or disabled for life and then they still catch corona cold.
Take this jab and shut.
I ain't taking your poison shot.
This is the land of the free and the home of the brave, you self-righteous, Nazis, not.
When they march your shaved naked ass through town, I'm gonna cheer a whole hell of a lot.
