	Oh, it's going to freeze!
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	It's Thursday, January 20th, 2022.
	This is your award-winning Get My Nation Media Assassination, episode 1418.
	This is no agenda.
	Lighters up, dimmers down, and broadcasting line from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, FEMA region number six in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where the catchphrase is, I'm not Joe Biden.
	I'm John C. Devorak.
	Is this the catchphrase?
	I'm not Joe Biden.
	Oh, I hadn't heard this one.
	You watched the whole thing.
	That's what Biden said.
	He said, I'm not Joe Biden?
	No, he said, I'm not Bernie Sanders.
	Okay.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Well, that's your beat, so I'm sure that you did tons of Joe stuff for today.
	No, I did not do tons.
	I did three, maybe four.
	That's more than enough.
	There were a couple of interesting things in there.
	Well, what was interesting, and I don't know if you know this, but this was recorded as the single longest press conference in the history of...
	Of Joe Biden.
	Yes, of all people.
	Wait a minute, the longest one ever?
	Yep.
	Really now?
	That's according to some people who measure it.
	I think he beat...
	Clinton had the longest one previously, and I think Biden beat him by five or ten minutes.
	Huh.
	That's weird.
	Hey, hold on a second.
	I had this great clip of Boris Johnson to kick everything off with, and it's like failing.
	Hold on, what's going on?
	What is this?
	When you do that, I'll go hang up my phone, which apparently is ringing.
	Yeah, please do that.
	Some guy named Carlos is asking me to...
	This is very odd.
	Can I play it over here?
	Check my Amazon account.
	It looks like I bought an iPhone 11 for some unknown reason.
	Yeah, and then it was shipped to the wrong person.
	I have to...
	Go to a website that cancels it.
	Oh, did you click on it?
	Because clicking on that link is definitely a good idea.
	Well, I told you my gag before.
	Let me go do this.
	Yeah, please, go ahead.
	I've got the clip, by the way.
	I've got all that sorted.
	No, you need to hear it.
	I'll wait for you.
	This is too much fun to hear you give that guy some shit, whoever's calling you.
	Yes, this is what we do in the morning, everybody.
	Hello, trolls!
	They hung up.
	Oh, okay.
	So what I do.
	Yeah.
	So it depends on which scam they're trying to run on you.
	They take you to some Wix.com website.
	Oh, it's the best.
	Amazon.Wix.com or something.
	And you go there.
	And so you walk them.
	You keep an eye on where they're having you click.
	And you click and click and click.
	And then he gets you to click on that one thing you don't click on.
	Of course, you just...
	And the guy says, what did you get?
	Because he's always asking, what do you see?
	So he says, oh, I got an error message.
	Really?
	You have too much time on your hands.
	You should be watching C-SPAN. This is an outrage.
	You got an error message.
	I said, yeah.
	He says, well, what does it say?
	And then I say, it says you're an a-hole.
	And then I just hang up.
	Well, anyway, although that is important, I think it's good to know that war is over, peace has returned, we are free again, and free at last, if you're in the UK. This morning, the cabinet concluded that because of the extraordinary booster campaign, together with the way the public have responded to the Plan B measures, we can return to Plan A in England and allow Plan B regulations to expire.
	Yay!
	As a result, from the start of Thursday next week, mandatory certification will end.
	Organisations can, of course, choose to use the NHS COVID pass voluntarily, but we will end the compulsory use of COVID status certification in England.
	From now on, the Government is no longer asking people to work from home.
	And people should now speak to their employers about arrangements for returning to the office.
	And having looked at the data carefully, the Cabinet concluded.
	That once regulations lapse, the government will no longer mandate the wearing of face masks anyway.
	Mr Speaker...
	Mr Speaker, from tomorrow, we will no longer require face masks in classrooms.
	And the department...
	And the Department for Education will shortly remove national guidance on their use in communal areas.
	In the country at large, we will continue to suggest the use of face coverings in enclosed or crowded spaces, particularly when you come into contact with people you don't normally meet, but we will trust the judgment of the British people.
	I would say that's a big political Hail Mary from Bojo.
	I wonder what's going to happen.
	Well, first of all, he's not going to get kicked out just yet because he's muddied the waters.
	What's going to happen insofar as their numbers and how it's going to go?
	Oh, they're all going to die.
	Obviously.
	Omicron gonna get him!
	That's right.
	It's all over for the UK. No!
	This is what's happening.
	Finally.
	You can't justify anything Joe Biden said compared to what Boris Johnson said yesterday.
	I would like to see what happens in Australia before I'm gonna jump on my own bandwagon about this thing ending.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	No, this is definitely not ending, but it's going to be sector for sector.
	There's little chips in the armor.
	Now, this UK thing, look, they have a whole other week.
	There is, I would say, a 70% to 80% chance it'll be something will be so horrific, the numbers will be so bad that they'll have to lock down to Plan C or something.
	Do you think it's going to be chinks in the armor or chips in the arm?
	No.
	No, it was good.
	It was good.
	It was good.
	Well, but these things are happening everywhere.
	This is in Colorado.
	The state of Colorado has removed the requirement that health care facilities have a testing policy in place for vaccine-exempt employees.
	Parkview Medical in Pueblo is the first to go on record about eliminating the previously mandated testing.
	Lots of discussion at the state level and around the state in emergency rooms and hospitals about how we then go to this next phase if we're out of workers, out of testing, and people can't really provide the level of care that they're used to.
	And that's really called crisis standards of care.
	In a statement to KRDO, Parkview says the state health department has eliminated the requirement of weekly testing for employees with valid exemptions.
	They say we are following their guidelines.
	State health officials confirmed the change but said some facilities may opt to continue testing.
	Facilities are still required to follow guidelines for infection control, including proper use of personal protective equipment and physical distancing.
	Well, so this is what we're hearing everywhere.
	Now it's just in the news.
	It's good.
	It's just a drippy nose.
	Put your mask on.
	Schools?
	Also resisting, this is in California, from NPR. What's that?
	As opposed to what?
	Wearing a mask at lunch while you're eating?
	Yes.
	No, like taking it down, pulling it down, taking a bite, pushing it up.
	First testing at 10 locations around the city.
	Organizer and high school sophomore Aileen Serrano says she won't attend class until the district provides weekly on-site testing.
	The reason why we're still boycotting is because we really do want to push forward with weekly testing because we do know it's important.
	Over 1,200 students signed a petition.
	That's about 3.5% of Oakland's 36,000 students.
	Now, the best way to tackle the elites in the situation the world is in is through mockery, of course.
	And that certainly works well with mass formation, breaking the mass formation.
	And this young child is going viral today, who's in front of the school board, I think she must be all of 13, 14 years old.
	And she is thanking the school board and all the adults in the room for all the things she has learned during this pandemic.
	Thank you for teaching students that our own mental health is much less important than making triple vaccinated adults feel safe.
	Thank you for teaching me that even the most minute risk is not worth taking.
	Life is best when you take the path of least resistance, with no chance of failure, and definitely no chance of catching a cold.
	Thank you for not reaching out to the students to ask how we feel about masks, because if you did, the majority of students would say that they hate masks, and then you might second guess your decision to make us wear them.
	Thank you for allowing me to experience the anxiety associated with never seeing facial expressions.
	Thank you for teaching us that we should never question authority or think critically, but instead we should follow whatever the people in charge tell us to do.
	Obedience is best.
	Yes.
	I realize now now that thinking for yourself is overrated and not really necessary when you can just make decisions based on fear.
	Thank you for pushing your irrational fears and anxieties on me because I didn't already have enough to worry about.
	I realize now how easy I had it when I only had to worry about my classes, my grades, SAT, and getting into college.
	Thank you for teaching me that being a morally superior person only requires that I cover my face for eight hours a day and that the most morally superior people wear two masks or even three masks.
	As you know, states around us, Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan, and Minnesota, which have two and a half times more students than Illinois, don't force kids to wear masks.
	I'm with you, though.
	These states are out of control, recklessly putting kids at risk of misery and death every day.
	Masks work, even if these states have the same outcomes as Illinois.
	Speaking of data, thank you for staying silent about masking despite the fact that COVID has a very high survival rate in kids my age.
	Who needs data anyway, though?
	We all know that it will never be safe to see anyone's face ever again.
	Lovely.
	Contrast that.
	What a wiseacre.
	Isn't that the best, though?
	Oh, yeah.
	She's going to be really something in college.
	This is something to be proud of, John.
	I'm not condemning her.
	I think it's funny.
	Oh, it sounded like you were...
	Well, you know what's funny?
	Now, let's just move up north for a second and go to Canada and listen to some children there.
	I don't know if you saw...
	I'm going to have to translate in real time because it's en français.
	This is a TV show, and they've got two kids on, and they're asking these kids...
	Sorry?
	You mean 16th century French?
	I don't know.
	Is it not the regular French?
	No.
	It's flat.
	It's hard to understand.
	The French hate it.
	No.
	It's from the Huguenots.
	It's old Huguenot French.
	Oh, yes.
	The Walloons are also from that district.
	All right.
	So this is a TV show and they got two young kids on, younger than this girl you just heard here.
	And I will translate to the questions and the answers.
	You, are you vaccinated?
	Yes, we both have one dose.
	Are you in favor of mandatory vaccine?
	No.
	Yes, yes, yes, oh yes.
	Looks like I'd drill them, don't they, says the mom.
	What should we do to the people who don't want the vaccine, she asked.
	Um, we should call the police.
	Oui, oui, oui, yes, yes, very good.
	If they don't have the vaccine, it can make a lot of people in danger.
	So like what the government does right now, we should cut everything from them, little by little, until they summit and get vaccinated.
	Yes, looks like we got some future politicians here.
	Yeah!
	And the crowd goes wild!
	And that's on TV. So, yes, you're absolutely right.
	It's not over here.
	All of a sudden, the UK pulls ahead.
	What is this?
	Yes, this has been baffling to me, too, and I don't have an explanation, so I don't really have too much to say about it.
	I mean, I don't think it's just Johnson's bailing out.
	Somebody's telling him what to do.
	Well, he has...
	It may be one of these situations, but let's do something.
	You're already doomed, Boris.
	Yeah.
	So let's do an experiment and see if there's something we can do to get this thing going again by screwing up and making a wrong decision.
	Yeah, it's possible.
	It's possible.
	Starbucks says it's no...
	I have the Starbucks clip.
	Oh, good.
	Because I don't have one.
	Where is it?
	COVID Starbucks.
	COVID... Hmm...
	Well, I can't seem to locate it.
	COVID approval?
	Free masks?
	Oh, mandate.
	Okay, I gotcha.
	Starbucks is no longer requiring vaccine or weekly tests for its over 200,000 employees in the U.S. That's after the Supreme Court struck down President Biden's vaccine and weekly testing requirements for large businesses.
	The coffee giant said it will respect and comply with the court's ruling.
	But Starbucks did tell NTD News on a phone call that it's still encouraging all workers at its U.S. locations to get vaccinated.
	Of course.
	So now we're rolling out tests and in fantastic old school Obama Biden tradition, we roll out the website and it just doesn't work right.
	Tonight, that new website where Americans can start ordering for free at home tests, covid tests dot gov, up and running a day ahead of the official launch tomorrow.
	Families across the country are already placing their first orders.
	Some who live in apartments having no problem, others running into glitches when trying to order the same address as other tenants.
	Nisha McCray tried ordering for elderly relatives who live in apartments.
	I noticed it was saying that four tests have already been requested from this household.
	There has to be a way that we can work around this, that it has to know the difference between an apartment and the apartment building.
	McCray's orders eventually going through after she searched for the addresses by zip code and went backwards.
	The White House acknowledging there could be some hiccups at first.
	Every website launch, in our view, comes with risk.
	We can't guarantee there won't be a bug or two.
	The rollout of free tests comes as Omicron cases nationally are still skyrocketing.
	So I'm going to dispute this.
	Dispute what?
	Well, this idea that the thing is like a dog like those earlier ones.
	Oh, no, it's not that bad, but I just find it very amateurish that they didn't get the simple locator.
	Right.
	Because I'm sure that that's what it is.
	If you do the full zip code with your five extra digits, it'll probably get your apartment.
	But for some reason, something was not right with their lookup.
	I've already ordered three sets of these things.
	And...
	Because what I was doing is, as soon as Biden said it on his speech, which I was watching in real time, I said, oh, this will be good.
	This will give me some material.
	So I went right to the website when he announced it, even though it's been announced days earlier.
	But as soon as he said it, I figured that might be a rush.
	You know, I got on it very easily.
	So I ordered a set.
	Then I ordered a set for JC. Then I ordered a set for Mimi.
	And there was a box with the apartment number it says he put on there.
	I questioned it.
	Yeah, when you question, then you drop out.
	Because I thought it swamped.
	Hold on a second.
	You said you questioned and you dropped out.
	I said I questioned that it wasn't really well done because it seems to be done by the post office.
	It worked, and it wasn't swamped when Biden brought it up, which I thought that would definitely swamp it, but it didn't get swamped.
	It didn't fail.
	Now, in the process, did you have to fill out any insurance information or any Medicare information, or was it just straight up, just your name, address, and good to go?
	Yeah.
	You didn't need that long zip code you cited.
	Yeah.
	You just fill out your name.
	Hey, listen.
	It was an apartment building.
	You don't have an apartment building.
	It's very possible that didn't work.
	They have an apartment building block on the form, and you put the number in there.
	I know.
	The lady said that didn't work.
	Well, that's what she said.
	Oh, Jesus.
	Okay, man.
	It worked for you, so therefore it worked for everybody.
	The report is wrong.
	NPR is full of shit!
	I'm sorry for putting in real-time information because I actually did it.
	You don't have an apartment number.
	You don't have an apartment number.
	You don't.
	You don't have an apartment number.
	So this was not real-time information.
	Now, the reason I asked about the insurance information is because I'm reading...
	That insurance companies are going to have to cover the eight take-at-home COVID tests per month for every person.
	No.
	There's no insurance requirement on there.
	You get four test kits, period.
	Whoever you are.
	And I would recommend you and everybody else order some because you're paying for it with your taxpayers' money.
	Well, I think that's kind of the point.
	Listen, I'm just reading here from the Daily Herald that says insurance companies, not Medicare, will handle the free COVID-19 test kits.
	That's a lie.
	Wow, man.
	I mean...
	Okay.
	Well, I'm asking you.
	If that's true, why don't they ask for any insurance number?
	That's why I'm asking!
	But that doesn't mean that this is a lie.
	I'm telling you that what you're reading is bullshit.
	No, it may be something else, John.
	You know?
	Ever think of that?
	It could be something else.
	Okay, explain how that works.
	I don't know.
	That's why I asked.
	Oh, jeez.
	It's a useless conversation.
	But okay, you're right, always.
	You sound like Scott Adams.
	No, you're acting like a kid.
	I'm just telling you my experiences, and I don't see how the insurance companies can pay for this.
	You can defend the article all you want.
	I don't care what you think.
	Really.
	This is totally unnecessary.
	This had nothing to do with your experience.
	It had to do with people in an apartment building.
	And then I just asked why I'm reading this article if there was no insurance information.
	It doesn't mean it's a lie.
	It means we're trying to figure something out.
	I'm not presenting anything.
	No facts.
	Why are you so sensitive to this?
	I'm not sensitive.
	I'm just, when you say it's bullshit, and I say no, you're misunderstanding what I'm saying, and you double down, that's just dumb.
	So I just need to correct you.
	If they say that insurance companies are picking this up, I'd like to know what the mechanism is.
	That's why, yes, I don't know the mechanism, do I? That's why I just brought it up.
	But then you immediately go to, it's a lie, maybe something else.
	It's a lie.
	It could be a flat fee, maybe.
	That's possible.
	But there's no insurance information required.
	Just fill out the form, you get your tests.
	And by the way, some other free stuff for everyone out there?
	You can get a bunch of free masks, too, if you go to a CVS or a Walgreens.
	Okay.
	Well, why don't you do something?
	Because, you know, everything I say is wrong.
	I didn't say anything you said was wrong.
	I was condemning the Herald's article that you were reading as though it was gospel, for God's sake.
	Ah, there it is.
	Okay.
	I read it wrong.
	Got it.
	No, you didn't.
	Did I say that?
	You said as gospel.
	I didn't say you read it wrong.
	You read it.
	As gospel.
	As gospel.
	Come on, man.
	Words matter.
	Hey, it doesn't matter.
	Somewhere, we're paying for it, whether it's through the insurance companies or Medicare.
	How about taxpayers' dollars straight up?
	Well, how about no?
	There's no taxpayers' dollars.
	How about printed money straight up?
	That's more like it.
	Let's listen to this.
	COVID approval for teen booster is hinky.
	GOP lawmakers are demanding answers from the FDA. They want to know why the agency bypassed its usual committee approval process before authorizing the Pfizer booster shot for kids.
	NTD's Grace Coulter has the details.
	The Food and Drug Administration bypassed approval from its Vaccine Advisory Committee when approving Pfizer's booster shot for kids ages 12 to 15.
	Now, over two dozen GOP lawmakers want to know why.
	According to Fox News, Republicans from both the House and Senate sent a letter to FDA Acting Commissioner Janet Woodlock Tuesday seeking answers.
	The lawmakers, led by Senator Ted Cruz and Representative Chip Roy, called the decision to forego the committee's approval extremely puzzling and, frankly, quite troubling.
	The Republicans wrote to Woodcock, Children are still growing and developing, and these are relevant factors for consideration to ensure that this additional vaccine dosage is appropriate, especially as early teens in the 12 to 15 age group are at extremely low risk For death and hospitalization from COVID-19.
	The Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee was involved in the approval process of both the Pfizer and Moderna booster shots for adults.
	It's not clear why the committee wasn't involved in approving the Pfizer booster for kids.
	which the FDA approved on January 3rd.
	Republicans argue that when it comes to children getting the jab, many uncertainties remain.
	The lawmakers pointed to two non-peer-reviewed studies that suggest boys ages 12 to 17 who received the booster shot may have a higher risk of cardiac adverse events.
	I'd like to know what they're actually vaccinating daily now.
	I don't think anyone is going for this.
	I think everyone's like, no, just stay home.
	I don't want it.
	I don't care.
	I'm sure there's a percentage, but gee, there's so much information now that people hopefully are seeing.
	I don't see why a kid who even is confronted with the possibility to have myocarditis would take this shot.
	They don't get COVID. They're not walking around sick.
	And then they take the shot and they get something that damages them for the rest of their lives.
	So we might as well crank up the conversation everyone else is having.
	New research on the effectiveness of a fourth COVID vaccine shot.
	Scientists in Israel, where fourth doses have already been administered to some high-risk patients, say the fourth shot raised antibody levels, but likely not enough to prevent breakthrough infections.
	Fourth doses have not been authorized in the U.S. I love how they're still talking about breakthrough infections yet.
	800,000 people a day getting infected with Omicron.
	Do you know anyone who's been infected twice with Omicron?
	Because I haven't heard that yet.
	No, but Jay and her boyfriend, who both had Omicron, went to a cabin with a bunch of people over this last weekend.
	And somebody came in and infected everybody.
	They got it again?
	No, no.
	They thought they might be getting it again, but then it passed over.
	Because I'm seeing a lot of people who just have the flu.
	They had Omicron, then they're getting the flu.
	Maybe that's because they're weakened or whatever.
	The two seem to go hand in hand.
	Vaccine maker Moderna now says it's working on one shot for both COVID and the flu.
	The CEO says it could be available by the fall of next year.
	They should just have like one super, super shot.
	That's what they're going to do.
	No, but it has it all.
	I mean, measles.
	Just throw it all in there.
	One big ball of goo that just...
	I'm reminded of the phony baloney swine flu thing that we documented very...
	You know, day by day on the show.
	I had it.
	Yeah, that's right.
	Yeah, I keep forgetting that.
	But that was your pre-vitamin D3 days.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And now I have T-cell immunity, I think.
	Now, but if you remember, they made a big stink and big fuss.
	It was like a trial run on two shots.
	Oh, you had to have two shots.
	You need two vaccines to get this swine flu thing.
	But for some reason back in the day, which was, what, 10 years ago, Eight years ago, people were reluctant to get two shots.
	I don't know what changed.
	So then they say, well, and then somebody suggested, well, you can combine it with the flu shot next year.
	No, no, no, you need two shots.
	And they combined it with the flu shot the next year with one shot and the flu shot.
	There's something bogus about everything.
	That's what they always want.
	We've been hearing this for 10 years at least.
	It'll be one shot that'll do it all, all coronaviruses, everything.
	But it's always been on the schedule for regular subscription.
	Come back and get more.
	Come back and get more.
	I have one more from ABC about the fourth.
	We've been hearing plenty about a fourth dose.
	We have some places around the world who've already kind of moved forward with fourth doses for certain members of the population.
	But what are we learning now about the benefits of possibly now a second booster?
	What are we calling it?
	A fourth dose?
	How are we going to put it?
	New preliminary data Shows that the fourth dose may not provide that clear additive benefit that we were hoping for.
	For now, it seems as though the primary series plus that third additional dose is proving to be incredibly effective.
	If you look at the numbers here in the United States, for example, and compare the unvaccinated to the vaccinated, those who are unvaccinated are two to three times more likely to be infected, but more importantly, 10 to 14 times more likely to be hospitalized.
	So for now, it seems like we're sticking to these three doses.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Blah, blah, blah.
	Data, data, data, data.
	You know, even when people email me now with, you know, here's the latest data from my country or my town.
	I just archive it.
	You know, it's not even...
	All data is bullshit.
	All data.
	How about this?
	This is just a big trial run to see how many doses people will actually put up with.
	Might be.
	I mean, I'm looking at a Pfizer contract.
	I don't understand why this is happening.
	It was awarded $2,047,500,000.
	That's a modification to their contract with a number here for an additional 300 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine for international donation to low and low-middle-income countries.
	What?
	No, Biden's been talking about this and he talked about it again in his world's longest press conference.
	Well, what if we actually needed the fourth booster?
	Then we gave it all away?
	Or we have enough?
	Well, that question is never asked.
	But the point is that Biden's bragging about everybody should be giving it away like we're doing.
	And that number you cited, that's we.
	It's not because he has a mouse in his pocket.
	It's we, the taxpayers of the United States, we're giving Pfizer nothing but money.
	It's ludicrous.
	More to come.
	More to come.
	Now, here's a story that concerns me.
	We already heard Sotomayor going nuts with her 100 million kids in cages.
	In COVID cages, I think, is what she said.
	Listen to this story.
	This is a hard, you won't hear this story in the mainstream, but this is like, she's all holed up and worried sick.
	Oh yeah, about her diabetes.
	She's a basket case.
	An article by NPR alleges that one of the nine Supreme Court justices attends court hearings virtually because of a maskless colleague.
	In a joint statement, Justices Neil Gorsuch and Sonia Sotomayor weighed in.
	They said that a report that claimed Sotomayor had asked Gorsuch to wear a mask surprised them.
	And that it's false.
	The justices also said they're warm colleagues and friends.
	The statement came after allegations of tensions between the two appeared in an article written by NPR's Nina Totenberg.
	But the reporter didn't say that Sotomayor asked Gorsuch to wear a mask.
	She said Chief Justice Roberts in some form asked the other justices to mask up because Sotomayor felt unsafe around maskless people.
	Oh yeah.
	But Roberts denies asking any justice to wear a mask on the bench.
	In a statement to NTD, NPR said they stand behind Totenberg's reporting.
	Oh.
	They stand behind it.
	So she stays at home and phones it in when they're doing a case now.
	Yeah.
	Well, she has a comorbidity.
	I'm sure there's more than one justice that has a few comorbidities.
	Well, yeah.
	Who doesn't?
	Yeah.
	Sticking with the court, it looks like in Brazil they accepted at least one part, or I'm not quite sure how much, of the criminal case against several individuals and officials for crimes against humanity submitted and accepted by the International Criminal Court, which nobody cares about.
	But it's always, it makes for good television.
	You know, when you see them sitting there.
	If, if, if.
	So the...
	Who were they?
	What did they do?
	Oh, here are the people who are listed as defendants.
	Anthony Fauci, Tedros, June Rain, the Director of Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, that's the UK. Dr.
	Adif Shah from the Rockefeller Foundation.
	Peter Daszak, we know him.
	Albert Bourla, CEO of Pfizer.
	Stephanie Bancel, CEO of AstraZeneca.
	Pascal Souriot, CEO of Moderna, Alex Gorski, CEO of Johnson& Johnson, Boris Johnson, Christopher Witte, who's the UK Chief Medical Advisor, Matthew Hancock, of course, Secretary of State for the UK, and Klaus Schwab.
	That would be a great drinking club.
	It has a case number and everything.
	So, you know, this is the thing that the United States, I don't think, do we even recognize it?
	We don't recognize it, do we?
	No, of course not.
	George Bush would be in jail.
	Yeah, he hasn't traveled since, I think.
	Well, here's another situation that's developing.
	This is, you know, we talked about Austria's making a mandate.
	Everybody has to get the shot, whether you like it or not.
	Well, France is under, unfortunately, I spelled COVID with a P. Listen to this French mandate thing.
	This is becoming a real problem in France.
	The French government is set to implement a vaccine mandate unless the highest court votes against it.
	NTD correspondent David Vives meets with a lawyer working on the dispute.
	Around 60 senators appealed to the Constitution Council, the highest court in France, to see if the vaccine pass law violates the Constitution.
	This new law, which had a rough ride through Parliament, with opposition parties finding some of its provisions too tough, will require people to have a certificate of vaccination to enter public places like restaurants, cafes, hospitals, cinemas and long-distance trains.
	of vaccination to enter public places like restaurants, cafes, hospitals, cinemas and long-distance trains.
	Lawmakers in the lower house of Parliament voted 215 in favor of the vaccine pass bill to 58 against, paving the way for the law to be applied.
	Lawmakers in the lower house of parliament voted 215 in favor of the vaccine pass bill to 58 against, paving the way for the law to be applied.
	But senators from different groups say this law goes against personal freedoms, such as the freedom to come and go and the freedom of expression.

	Attorney Diane Protat worked on the text with senators to dispute the bill.
	Attorney Diane Protat worked on the text with senators to dispute the bill.
	One of the measures is a mandatory vaccine for all workers and employees.
	One of the measures is a mandatory vaccine for all workers and employees.
	Protat says this measure might make 5 million unvaccinated French lose their jobs.
	Of course it's a social disaster.
	There were already 10 million persons who were poor in France.
	And if you put 5 million plus 10 million people who don't have money, you will have an explosion of poverty in France.
	She says other measures might change forever the way rule of law works.
	People's ID and certificates of vaccination will be monitored not by police, but by employees or persons in charge of the places where people want to enter.
	Protat says this is how things will end up, since there wouldn't be enough policemen in France to monitor the entire population.
	You cannot imagine that every lunchtime in France, all the policemen will not go to check in the bars all people who are coming.
	So the solution for the state is to ask anyone of us to be the policeman or the judge of someone else because they don't have the money, don't have the power to enforce it.
	So they are asking us, the civilians, to enforce it for them.
	In the evening, the High Court doesn't suspend the law.
	It might be implemented in the coming days.
	Wait a minute.
	She said they're asking the civilians to implement it?
	I didn't quite understand what she meant by that.
	No, she was bitching about...
	What was the story we had on the show?
	It was...
	Oh, it was In-N-Out Burger.
	I said, we're not the police.
	We're not going to be checking for these vaccine passports.
	That's what she's complaining about.
	Same thing, exactly.
	She doesn't want...
	Why should we be checking all these documents?
	She complained that there's not enough police.
	Wait, don't they have QR codes?
	Don't they have the system?
	Aren't they jacked in?
	What checking do you have to do?
	It's just you scan the QR code.
	If you're not scanned, they detect you and they black bag you and roust you right off the street into a van.
	That's still your...
	What, are you a cop?
	Well, no.
	That's what she's saying.
	Why should we be black bagging people?
	Now, I was thinking about this, and isn't this the same, though, just to take the other side of the argument, the same as bartenders having to check IDs for age?
	What's the difference?
	Death.
	Perceived death.
	Des.
	That's the only difference.
	That's the only difference.
	The notion that you don't check this ID and the whole place will die.
	That's the implication, of course.
	Well, I think they should just...
	What?
	I think they could do the same with...
	I think the argument is weak that we don't want to check IDs because we're not the police.
	Well, that's a form of resistance.
	It's a weak form.
	That's the French version of resistance currently.
	That's the best they can do.
	Yeah, well...
	Did you notice the vote, by the way, is overwhelming for the mandates.
	Yeah, it's three quarters...
	In Canada, the officials finally had to come clean, kind of on this tip of surveillance.
	The Public Health Agency of Canada confirmed media reports just before Christmas that it had secretly accessed location data for 33 million mobile devices to monitor the movement of Canadians during COVID-19.
	That number represents roughly 87% of the population who were spied on without any knowledge that the government was accessing their data.
	Public Health Agency of Canada officials were forced to admit this had occurred after a request for proposal was published with a call for interest in continuing a program of collecting data for up to five more years.
	Amateurs.
	Cheers.
	Wait, so am I getting this right?
	So some idiot put out an RFP? To continue the program.
	It didn't mention it.
	Oh, God.
	That's the best ever.
	Oh, yeah.
	In Hong Kong, they kick it up a notch.
	If we can terrorize...
	We may not be able to terrorize all the children because their parents just may not give them the vaccine, but we can still terrorize children whenever we want to.
	Authorities in Hong Kong want pet stores and pet owners to hand their pets over for culling over fears that they could pass COVID-19 to people.
	It is estimated that at least 2,000 hamsters will be euthanized after a pet shop employee became Hong Kong's first patient with an untraceable COVID-19 infection in three months.
	The government made this announcement after 11 hamsters at the Little Boss Pet Shop tested positive for the virus, according to Insider.
	Oh, man.
	This is so cool.
	Turtles.
	Everything's got to go.
	Well, the hamster thing is, yeah, they're going to cull all the hamsters.
	Well, they're close to the ferret.
	How do they get the swab up the little hamster's nose?
	That's what I like to know.
	Have you ever seen a hamster's nose?
	No, no.
	It's like the size of a pinhole.
	I don't know how you get the swab.
	I've not tried to swab a hamster.
	Check him for COVID. Give me a break.
	I have not done that.
	Not done that.
	The mass formation is still in place, though.
	I think we had a beautiful example of exactly what the progenitor of the thesis, Professor DeSmet, said is 30% are all in, 30% are not hypnotized, and there's 40% in the middle who just kind of sway back and forth.
	All you need is about 10 or 15% of that bit in the middle, and you can start...
	Changing the balance and moving it over towards people awakening.
	And this happened.
	And we were a part of it.
	And so I want to welcome this human resource back into the fray and welcome him with warmth and love and not scorn and ridicule because it's very hard to take the L. Scott Adams took the L. Because the new brand of trolls all have the same quality.
	They don't have any complaint.
	They just say things like, stop, Scott, stop.
	Just don't do it anymore.
	And I'd be like, what?
	Stop what?
	I'm not even sure what the topic is.
	And then the LOL trolls, LOL, Scott, LOL. You're coping.
	And so I thought to myself...
	I should take these people seriously.
	There are so many people telling me that I'm experiencing cognitive dissonance.
	And my first impression was, well, that's obviously projection.
	You're the one who's experiencing it.
	You're projecting on me.
	But you know what the problem with projection is?
	You never know who's doing it.
	Am I projecting on my critics?
	Or are my critics projecting on me?
	And how would I know?
	Well...
	I decided to go with the crowd.
	And the crowd has decided that the problem is on my end, and so I've decided to take the L and admit that I'm afraid and coping.
	And it worked.
	Ridiculing him.
	Ben Garrison's cartoon, I think, did a lot.
	I'm sorry you played this clip.
	Why?
	Was this...
	Well, because the clip began a series of sarcastic remarks, which he continued for about an hour.
	I know.
	I'm not done.
	Oh, you're going to play the...
	Okay, I thought we were going to not do Scott Adams stuff, but okay.
	Well, what did you want to say?
	Because what I heard him say, you clearly watched it, I heard him say he was taking the L because he made a math error, but that he was alerted to it by the informal polls he did on Twitter, and when 46% of people said, you're wrong, in essence, that's when he decided to take the L. Now, was he being disingenuous?
	Separate issue.
	You clearly think he was disingenuous.
	Well, he was very disingenuous.
	His final conclusion was, I mean, I don't really want to discuss this, to be honest about it, because I don't think we should be doing Scott Adams deconstructions.
	But he was being sarcastic.
	Everything you played there was sarcasm.
	And he actually took it up two or three notches from there with more sarcasm.
	And it took probably a half an hour before the chat room realized what was going on.
	And they kind of got very irked about it.
	Oh, to me it was just he admitted it and then he did his best to claw back everything he could and make it not his fault.
	But that piece to me, I think that might have been sarcasm, but it was truthful.
	That was my impression.
	You had a different impression.
	I don't think you listened to the whole thing.
	I did.
	Why?
	Did he at the end say, psych, it's not true?
	He was saying stuff like, I'm just telling you, that part of it was just his lead-in to suckering.
	It was a suckers game.
	I watched the whole thing.
	Where he says, I've decided I'm not going to care about my personal safety or my longevity or my survival.
	I think you misunderstood that.
	He was saying, he was being sarcastic about math versus mind reading.
	No.
	Just listen to it with in mind that it's a sucker's game.
	He did this to just, it's totally a psych.
	He really went out of his way at the end to just pound it home that, yeah, that the vaccine was going to save lives.
	And that's not important.
	Vaccines will save you.
	It'll save my life, but it's not important because it's more important.
	I heard all that.
	I heard all that.
	But to me, that was him airing his defeat.
	I don't know.
	I just took it differently.
	That's okay.
	I could be wrong.
	Yeah, well, he doesn't do that.
	He didn't do it this time either.
	I think it was a very coy way of doubling down.
	Okay, it's possible.
	But then, in that case, he's an idiot.
	We don't have to deconstruct him, but you and I both know there's times in life, and we've both had these instances, where you have to take the loss on something because you will not have a life.
	Online.
	If you do this...
	You had that happen.
	What was your story about that?
	This was years ago.
	I learned my lesson quite early.
	And so I try not to go online to get myself into a jam because it's like impossible to dig out of.
	I mean, I'm still digging out of the mouse comment from 1984.
	That's because it's been changed into some...
	It's your very fine people.
	They lie.
	They change your...
	In fact, I had caught one guy...
	It's your very fine people moment.
	Yes, exactly.
	Yes, it's exactly the same as the very fine people situation.
	What was the thing you were going to tell us?
	Well, in the 80s, way before the internet was taking off, but there was this thing called PC Magnet.
	It was a CompuServe.
	We had chat rooms.
	All the stuff that's going on today, there were prototypes of it.
	You know, proto-chat rooms and all the rest.
	And I had gotten myself into some...
	I said something stupid about OS2 or something like that in this group.
	It wasn't large by today's standards, but it was large enough to get...
	OS2. Just saying OS2 by itself was a problem.
	I'll tell you this.
	If you were back in that era, if you had said anything about the Amiga OS, oh my God.
	Oh, you couldn't say anything?
	I liked Rex, by the way.
	I like trying to program in Rex.
	Wasn't that the OS2 scripting language?
	Yes, it was.
	So I said something, and it got some people bent out of shape, and then it started to snowball behind my back.
	And I went and I looked at it and I said, this is no big deal, just let it go.
	But the more I let it go, the more it was getting worse and worse.
	And these people were just hating and hating and hating.
	It was just a lot of hating.
	And so a friend of mine, Dave Whittle, who worked at IBM at the time and had gotten a hold of me, called me and said, you've got to do something about it.
	This is out of control.
	You have to apologize.
	And I started examining it and I realized, okay, I went and apologized and everybody turned quickly to the other side because I had taken the L. And it was instantly different.
	It was like instant.
	But nowadays, I realized then that you have to be careful.
	In these social groups, these are network groups.
	They're very dangerous.
	Yes, they are.
	You can't do crazy stuff and think you can get away with it.
	You'll get ruined.
	It'll ruin your life.
	And I extrapolated from that moment, I don't do stuff like that.
	I'm a troll in a very cautious way.
	But you're a troll.
	Of course.
	My moment came around 2004, 2005.
	And in my case, there wasn't really an L to take.
	I took the advice from the old country, which means when you're being shorn as a sheep, then you should sit very still.
	And this was the Wikipedia entry for podcasting.
	Yeah, that's a good one.
	And Wikipedia was pretty new at the time.
	And so I'm looking at this, you know, what people are writing.
	And there was shit in there like, hey, I had radio shows on cassette.
	So I invented podcasting way before anything else.
	And there was all this stuff in here.
	So I was moving stuff around like, oh, this is cool.
	You know, let me do this.
	And then there was an...
	Wait, you were editing your own Wikipedia.
	I didn't know you couldn't do that.
	It was the podcasting Wikipedia.
	I didn't know you could edit...
	Lois, that was your personal page.
	It might have been my personal page.
	Maybe that was...
	But it doesn't matter.
	I didn't know that.
	I did not know that.
	I didn't know you're not supposed to.
	I went in, I changed it, registered my name, and it went boom, and it was done.
	But the accusation, specifically from Rogers Cadenhead, cocksucker, who he then...
	And that blog post is still there.
	Because he was part of the RSS board or some shit like that.
	It was a real stick up his ass.
	And then he was like, Adam Curry changed it to make himself look more important!
	That was the accusation.
	Not just changing the Wikipedia page, but he said, to make yourself look more important.
	And I went, I said, hey, hold on a second.
	I was there!
	And that's when I learned, oh, no, no, no, no!
	You can't edit your own Wikipedia page.
	Yeah.
	And I just shut up and let it go after that because I was getting skewered.
	What an asshole.
	I can't believe he would do that.
	Yeah, me neither.
	It's funny.
	Yeah.
	Well, funny.
	I don't know.
	It was pretty...
	I'll tell you something.
	It was harsh.
	I knew somehow that you're not supposed to edit your own Wikipedia page.
	I think it has something to do with the wiki theory when it first was brought out and discussed, which is that the public would be editing these pages.
	Of course, there's funny things you can do with that, which remains to be seen.
	But I kind of knew that, but I've never noticed that it was ever written down anywhere.
	So I never felt...
	I remember this happened to you, and I said, that's funny.
	It's hilarious.
	Thanks, pal.
	That's what I thought.
	I thought it was hilarious.
	It's like you stepped in it, and you couldn't get your foot out of there.
	Pretty much.
	But I don't remember it ever being...
	I thought it was just kind of an unwritten law that you didn't know about, which wouldn't surprise me.
	A lot of people didn't know about it.
	I think a lot of these pages are done by the PR people from the person.
	Go look at Noam Chomsky's page.
	You're telling me the public put that together?
	That's bull crap.
	Noam Chomsky's page is put together by either his wife or somebody.
	It's just a giant PR piece.
	Yeah.
	I mean, if I was going to do my own Wikipedia page or I had somebody, I hired somebody to do it, I would just, because I've seen people do this, every column they've ever written is documented in the Wiki site.
	Yeah, right.
	Who does that?
	I've got like 45,000 columns I've written.
	I could put every one in there, go on for pages and pages.
	It's such a useless piece of crap when it comes to that.
	I mean, how many times I've tried to change my picture and then someone, hey, it's not official!
	And they put the stupid one with the cowboy hat back.
	That's it, I just give up.
	Screw y'all.
	Screw you, Wikipedia.
	You're incorrect in your propaganda.
	And we love using you for someone's height and age.
	That's usually correct.
	The height thing is not very unusual that it's correct.
	Uh, there's a lot of, uh, there's a lot of misinformation put on Wikipedia.
	Yeah, I think it's good for just on some, uh, when there's, you have an ambassador or somebody like that and you want to see what schools you went to.
	It's good for, um, it's good for spook.
	Yeah, I was just going to say, it's good for spook spotting.
	That's exactly what it's for.
	Let me see if it has my, uh, yes, it has, uh, my height, six foot five inches.
	Somebody will go in tonight and change it to 5-2.
	Exactly.
	Wikipedia.
	I got the one last clip for COVID. This is the Stanford students.
	I'm kind of surprised because Cal students didn't have the...
	You'd think they'd be the ones with the wherewithal to bitch and moan, but no, no, no.
	You got the Stanford weenies.
	Other ones are doing it instead.
	This is a good story.
	Some other large companies like General Electric have also suspended their VAX mandates after the Supreme Court ruling.
	Meanwhile, Stanford University will be mandating that all its students receive a COVID booster by the end of this month.
	In opposition, a group of students delivered an open letter to the university and have an ongoing online petition demanding that the mandate be repealed.
	Students at Stanford University started an online petition to repeal the school's booster mandate.
	The mandate was first announced in mid-December and will require all students to show proof of receiving a COVID-19 booster vaccine by January 31st, unless they qualify for an approved religious or medical exemption.
	I think that the decision to mandate Boosters Prayer for all students really flies in the face of a lot of the evidence on the ground and a lot of the things that we should be valuing as Stanford, as that community.
	Fisher, a Ph.D. student at Stanford, started the petition.
	As of today, it has close to 1,800 signatures.
	Fisher says 95% of the students are reported to be vaccinated, and according to the numbers on the CDC website, the university's student demographic are already at low risk of serious illness from COVID-19.
	When you add on top of that the fact that boosters are not without risks themselves, right, there's a developing body of research about the risks associated with boosters, I thought it was irresponsible of Stanford to make that decision for its students instead of empowering its students to make their own decisions.
	That would be wrong, citizen.
	No.
	You can't make decisions.
	So, think about this for a moment.
	Where we're at right now, just taking America, and I think America is probably unique, but maybe it's around other countries, our homelessness situation.
	And I was thinking about this.
	I was talking to Mo the other day.
	And he had heard the story about the hotel without the desk and the chair.
	And he said, oh no, this is happening from the cheapest hotels up.
	He said, because people are living in hotels now.
	They don't want people working.
	You come to our hotel, you're here to party and drink and eat.
	And you're not here to do any work.
	We don't want you to work.
	It's not a business hotel.
	It's a luxury hotel.
	You go all the way down the line to the $30 a night hotels.
	People are living there.
	They cannot afford even to put down deposit on rent.
	So we have a potential with mandates and all other things.
	We have a potential for an incredible increase in the homelessness population.
	Or maybe they'll surface more if they can't even stay in the hotels.
	And how many homeless are there in San Francisco, do you think?
	I think there's 75,000.
	Yeah, it's neat.
	I don't have that number.
	I don't have that number.
	But it's big.
	I'm just guessing.
	And now you're making me irk with myself for not clipping a bunch of homeless stuff.
	I have a homeless thing here, and then I'll tell you what I'm thinking.
	They traced the whole problem to a Latham and Watkins case in Idaho.
	We had this five years ago.
	Yeah.
	We did all this.
	Do we have that clip?
	No, but I can tell you exactly what it is.
	It's one guy who didn't want to move, and then Latham Watkins, who are huge A-hole shills.
	Douchebags that Hillary Clinton went for.
	Yes, yes.
	They set this up, and every single...
	And so it became...
	It's unconstitutional to move someone in a tent because that's their home and that is then a constitutional violation.
	So you can only fine them.
	And every city that has increased homelessness used this as the argument.
	Yeah.
	Including Austin.
	But they're using it on purpose.
	They want homeless.
	Yes!
	Hello!
	Yes!
	But here there's a danger and it's starting.
	Tonight, the suspect now in custody for the gruesome murder of UCLA graduate student Brianna Kupfer.
	One of three random killings just 72 hours apart, raising urgent concerns about the homeless crisis in America.
	Kupfer's accused killer, Sean Laval Smith, who was out on bail, has a lengthy arrest record in California and the Carolinas, including vandalism, trespassing, and weapons charges.
	Smith allegedly stabbing the 24-year-old in the middle of the day at the furniture store where she was working alone.
	Seen in this surveillance video just minutes after the murder.
	Kupfer's heartbroken father in shock.
	You don't want to hear it.
	You want to not believe it.
	That same day, Los Angeles police say another homeless man, Carrie Bell, struck 70-year-old nurse Sandra Shells in the face at a bus stop, her skull fracturing as she hit the ground.
	It's sad.
	It's sad to hear, you know.
	Getting ready to retire, and this is what happens.
	Police found Bell, who's been arrested previously in several states, sleeping a short distance from the scene of the attack.
	And two days later, as a speeding New York City subway car approached the platform, police say Simon Marshall, who has a history of mental illness and criminal behavior, pushed financial manager Michelle Goh to her death.
	The city's new mayor under fire for rising crime in the subway after initially suggesting the safety concerns were merely a perception.
	Attending a massive vigil for go in Times Square and now admitting he himself does not feel safe underground.
	On day one, I took the subway system.
	I felt unsafe.
	I saw homeless everywhere.
	Uh-huh.
	Now, what you were talking about, the Boise thing, I think that was on Tucker, and he went off on an incredible rant about, get off our streets, you drug users, which, although I understand what he's saying towards cities, these are also, you can't just dehumanize these people the way he did.
	I thought it was really inappropriate.
	Especially having experience with how these people just need community.
	I've seen the Community First Village that I've talked about, how well that works.
	We're now in Phase 3.
	But the idea that homeless people are only vagrant drug users is a big mistake.
	I mean, I am in contact at any given moment during the week with two to five homeless, no-agenda producers.
	And some of them travel around, they couch surf, some sometimes sleep outside.
	Once or twice, maybe someone in a car, but they don't even have vehicles.
	And these are not stupid people.
	They're not...
	Now, do they have abuse issues?
	Possibly.
	Drug issues?
	Possibly.
	Loss of family?
	Most likely.
	Economic woes that got them into this situation.
	So they're looking for community.
	This is why the no-agenda meetups work.
	Every human being needs community.
	It wouldn't take much with 100,000 people in New York, maybe it's less, 75,000 people in San Francisco, maybe hundreds of thousands in Los Angeles.
	It wouldn't take much for one charismatic leader to stand up and they might listen to him.
	They all got cell phones.
	We've talked about demolition, man.
	You ever see demolition, man?
	We have the people below and the people above.
	Yeah, it's a great movie.
	I think this has a real chance of happening in the United States.
	And man, you don't want these people going out raiding everything, which is already happening.
	We're already seeing the smashing grabs in the expensive stores.
	We're seeing the low end just walk in, take whatever you want from the Walgreens.
	What if a Wesley Snipes steps up and says, hey, follow me?
	They could get pretty bad.
	We could have a homeless apocalypse upon us.
	There's a show title.
	I have the clip if you want to just revisit briefly the Supreme Court.
	Well, before you do, I think that the authorities would take that guy out so fast your head would spin.
	Yeah, like they take all other violent criminals out.
	Well, violent criminals are one thing.
	Violent leaders, it's different.
	And what if it's just a virtual guy?
	Just a guy who's somewhere doing a podcast?
	Anything's possible.
	To revisit from...
	I've thought about this too, and I think it's a...
	Yeah.
	What do you think?
	I think if the homeless population gets too big, and I think they're trying to grow it, something bad could happen.
	Here's a quick revisit of the Supreme Court rejecting the, I think it was the Ninth Circuit, another bunch of douchebags who set this whole thing up.
	Today, the Supreme Court denied, without explanation, the city of Boise's petition to appeal what's seen as a sweeping ruling in the federal Ninth Circuit from last year.
	That lower court ruled that Idaho's capital city was in violation of the Constitution's ban on cruel and unusual punishment when police here ticketed the homeless for sleeping in public.
	Now, cities in the West, from Idaho to Washington to California, can't enforce such rules against the homeless until they've found shelter for everyone who needs it.
	And most cities in the region don't have enough shelter beds on any given night, which means if they ticket the homeless now, they're in violation of federal law.
	Attorney Theona Evangelist represented Boise in its appeal.
	And cities' hands are tied now by the Ninth Circuit's decision because it effectively creates a constitutional right to camp.
	Major West Coast cities like Los Angeles are grappling with growing tent cities and the public health and safety fallouts from them.
	Many file briefs in support of Boise's appeal.
	Evangelist says everyone agrees the solution is more low-income housing and services, but she says this decision makes it virtually impossible for cities to do anything in the interim.
	And we have an outbreak of diseases and a very dangerous situation for people who are living on the streets and for everyone.
	And the city needs to have the tools available to deal with growing encampments.
	In a statement, Boise's outgoing mayor, Dave Beder, said he hopes the city's next administration continues to fight in federal court to get clarification about how to comply with the law.
	That's seen as unlikely, at least here.
	The mayor lost in a heated election this month to a more liberal Democrat who had criticized the city for criminalizing homelessness.
	Maria Foscarinas heads the National Center on Homelessness and Poverty, which helped represent the Boise homeless who brought the case.
	She says the court has now affirmed that ticketing or jailing homeless people isn't working.
	The solution is addressing the root of the problem, which is that people can't afford a place to live.
	People don't have access to the services they need.
	Voscarinas hopes this news will force cities to stop turning to the courts and start finding long-term solutions.
	Yeah, that was three years ago.
	That's working out well.
	Well, I don't see how it was cruel and unusual punishment, quote-unquote, as mentioned at the beginning of that report, to ticket somebody.
	No, ticketing is not, but moving the tent.
	You're not allowed to move their tent because that is their home.
	That's cruel and unusual?
	Yes.
	That's what it's based on.
	You're on the street, you're in somebody's way, and you get moved, that's cruel.
	What dulls me about this use of cruel and unusual in this case is because Scalise, The old-timer that died mysteriously in Texas.
	With the pillow over his head.
	With the pillow over his head.
	He made a big stink about during that Abu Ghraib era and the CIA's use of torture, especially the use of torture.
	He made the claim that it's not...
	It's not cruel and unusual punishment.
	No, it's enhanced interrogation.
	And he didn't even go in that direction.
	I heard the argument because it was recorded and he would go on and say, how is it punishment?
	You know, you say you're being tortured.
	Say somebody's putting your hand in a vice and squeezing it.
	How is it punishment?
	Because what are you being punished for?
	For breaking the law.
	No, you're being...
	No.
	I grabbed you.
	And I want to get some information out of you, and you're not going to tell me anything.
	So I put your hand in a vice, and I start squeezing it until it smashes your hand.
	It's not punishment.
	It's just pain.
	It's torture.
	It's just torture.
	It's torture.
	It's not punishment.
	It's torture.
	Scalise actually made the point that torture is not cruel and unusual punishment, based on the logic I just provided.
	Well, technically...
	And yes, and so you go from that to a guy getting his tent moved because he's in a driveway, and now they call that cruel and unusual punishment.
	These guys have got to get their act together.
	Well, it's too late.
	It's too late.
	It's too late.
	I mean, Austin, maybe.
	They're now 7,000.
	These are people with survival skills, too.
	You don't want them coming after you, especially if supply chains go down.
	There are all kinds of crap that can happen.
	Anyway, I'm glad I'm out of Austin.
	We got a note from Sir Mark the Wandering Knight about the train looting up in the Los Angeles area, the ports.
	It's a mess.
	Yeah.
	He says, These bolts can be a real bitch to get off as a former truck driver delivering these containers.
	I have had the displeasure of dealing with both these security devices.
	Can't imagine dealing with one of these bolts on a moving train with little footing to leverage the bolt cutters.
	What do you think?
	Organized crime.
	Well, they show a lot of these.
	The one in Chicago, which is a couple years old.
	Oh, it's happening in Chicago, too?
	Or is that...
	No, no, that was two years ago in Chicago.
	They did the same thing, and they tore apart a whole bunch of these trains.
	Oh, how'd they stop it?
	The train was stopped.
	That was the point.
	No, I mean, how did they stop it from happening?
	As far as I know, it's still going on.
	Oh, okay.
	But they, you know, the train would be stopped and I guess one of them would have one of these bolt cutters.
	It doesn't, you know, if they exist, someone's going to have one and crack the thing open and then they should just throw in stuff out.
	Everyone gathered around and waiting.
	One guy had his Lexus there ready to load up.
	His Lexus?
	He's going homeless.
	His Tesla Cybertruck.
	Yeah, well, that's coming next.
	Yeah, well, that's criminal activity, of course.
	Unless there's something more about the homeless apocalypse...
	There's one story that I think we may be uniquely qualified to discuss, and I hoped it would go away.
	I hope we didn't have to talk about it.
	But no, it's on.
	It's the 5G telecommunications companies versus the airlines.
	Tonight, this is your story.
	That's what I'm saying.
	It's my story.
	What?
	Well, because I was waiting for you to discuss it.
	Here's my story with a clip.
	Tonight, crisis averted.
	AT&T and Verizon agreeing to temporarily limit the number of towers around airports that will carry their high-speed 5G signals.
	The unexpected move coming just today after major U.S. airlines warned that there could be a, quote, catastrophic disruption to air travel if 5G rolled out near major airports.
	Here's the worry.
	That stronger 5G signal is very similar to the frequency of a plane's radio altimeter, a device pilots use to judge their distance from the ground.
	Airlines say in poor weather conditions, when visibility is low, pilots might not have reliable information to land safely, potentially leading to thousands of diverted and can't fight.
	And not just for passengers, but for two.
	The FAA cannot tell us if there is a problem.
	The airlines are erring on the side of safety to make sure that they scientifically determine that there isn't a problem and that the flying public stays particularly safe.
	The wireless carriers have long said 5G would not interfere with aircraft electronics.
	AT&T saying in a statement, we are frustrated by the FAA's inability to do what nearly 40 countries have done, which is to safely deploy 5G technology without disrupting aviation services.
	The FAA says other countries have created permanent buffer zones, keeping the signal away from airports.
	But the signal in the U.S. would be more than twice as strong as those used in Europe.
	Blah, blah, blah.
	There's so much misinformation about this story and no one has seen the obvious.
	A couple of things.
	There's a technical story to it, and then there's what's really going on, and that is that in the past 24 months, there was no money really to invest in upgrading altimeters, certainly not the millimeter wave altimeters.
	People think it's some kind of LiDAR that's shooting light down.
	No.
	This is a radar device that works from about 2,500 feet down to the ground and it uses radio frequency and the frequency is separated by a little bit of spectrum from the 5G that Verizon and AT&T are rolling out.
	This has been known for a long time.
	The spectrum was sold off.
	It was $80 billion.
	Somebody got happy.
	I don't know who gets to keep that money.
	And aviation had a long time to change this.
	Why didn't they do it?
	Very expensive.
	And the main manufacturer who has problems is Boeing.
	And that is because they have a different fuselage.
	They're not made of carbon fiber.
	They're made of sheet metal and rivets.
	And so the signature that is sent down, it can get a lot of distortion.
	Also, most of the Boeing aircraft have a two-dimensional, so two transmitters and receivers, and not the three, which is what is going to be required, which gives you a much better resolution.
	This is used for one thing only, really.
	When...
	The airport is socked in.
	These aircraft can land automatically.
	And from about 250 feet down is where this thing is doing all the work.
	And it then has control over the FADEC, the engine control, everything.
	It will land the aircraft.
	So it's only needed in specific instances.
	Although pilots have gotten a lot of...
	Responsibility taken away from them.
	It's been moving slowly towards what everyone knows is the next gen where you don't need pilots at all.
	The interference can, I think, 100% be solved by a proper radio, which could cost easily $50,000 to put in and to purchase and to put in, but it could cost up to a million dollars per aircraft to get it into compliance.
	And so this is between the FCC and the FAA, and the FAA put out airworthy directives for several Boeing aircrafts, Which then the international carriers took immediate advantage of and it went like this.
	Do we have a Boeing somewhere?
	Because that's the one we're not going to fly empty to America.
	And that's because, well, we had to cancel it because, you know, it's all unsafe over there.
	Look at who's canceling.
	They're canceling empty flights.
	They can't do it quick enough.
	In reality, there's probably very little danger in this specific instance because all of that, all the measurements, everything has been done.
	In practice, we have a much larger problem as I looked into this millimeter wave radar system because that is what 5G is going to be used for.
	You can measure distances very precisely.
	We've got 5G signals coming down from satellites.
	We are being inundated with this stuff.
	Not good at all.
	And I think it's going to interfere with everything.
	The major problem will be for autonomous driving.
	They're going to have a lot of problems with interference.
	And it just comes down to what crap are you putting in the car, Elon?
	So this is a money story.
	It's not really a safety story.
	But in long term, as I delved into the use of this millimeter wave radar in these bands, it could be a very big problem in general.
	Shit could get confused all the time.
	Particularly self-driving cars.
	And that will be our report.
	That's the report.
	I have a report.
	This is from, this is a letter, came in from one of our, from producer Chris.
	Hi John, on episode 1416 a donor wrote in that she was asked about her vaccination status prior to having a breast MRI. She mentioned that they wouldn't perform one on her if she had recently taken the booster into her life.
	I have been an MRI technologist for 12 years, and I'm happy to report on this.
	First of all, please tell Adam that the shots do contain graphene, and the high-strength magnet will rip the graphene particles right through the eyeball.
	What?
	This is an MRI? No, he didn't say that.
	That was a joke.
	He did say that, but then it said JK. Okay, I was going to say no.
	I don't believe that for a second.
	This has to do with the fluid, I think.
	No. No.
	Early on in the vaccine program, radiologists began to notice that the C19 shot enlarged the lymph nodes in the surrounding breast tissue on the side the shot was administered.
	This would result in them reporting false positive exams and or overlooking cancer that was there but remained disguised by the reaction from the shot.
	For a period of time, the ACR was not recommending breast screening tests be performed up to one year after receiving the vaccine.
	I believe their recommended wait time is four to six weeks.
	This all differs from place to place.
	Either way, this adds an additional challenge to our radiologists who read these exams.
	There's no doubt that many women have probably had repeat short-term exams due to these abnormal findings.
	And some have had to undergo biopsy to determine if the adenopathy is malignant or just a reaction from the shot.
	Lymph node swelling is a rare occurrence with other vaccines.
	And then he names a bunch.
	Unfortunately, it's very common and may happen to a greater than 25% of women who take the vaccine into their life.
	Please do not.
	This does not sound good to me.
	Stay safe.
	So there you go.
	Straighten that out.
	Lymph nodes.
	Damn.
	They get annoyed.
	Victorian health officials in Melbourne, they just came out, I think, maybe a week ago and said, oh, we have to impose a three-month ban on in vitro procedures.
	Yeah.
	I can only presume that's because they're worried about birth defects or miscarriages or, you know, it had to do with the vaccine and that was their decision.
	But then people just lost their crap over this, which I understand.
	I mean, couples who are doing IVF, they're often at their wit's end and then to stop three months in or three months, that kind of destroys the whole idea of maybe making it work.
	And then they just went and overturned it.
	Like a day later.
	They said, oh, okay, well, you do whatever you want.
	That's fine.
	How does that work?
	You just do it.
	This thing is so bogative.
	Unbelievable.
	Ah, okay.
	I have one more thing.
	We'll probably get to it.
	No, we'll get to it in the next segment.
	Another note.
	We probably should do some Biden stuff, though.
	I only have a few clips.
	I have just, well, I take it one, two, three, four, five.
	I've got the best of.
	Mm-hmm.
	The best, okay, let me start with, I can do these five clips.
	I got him where he blows up at some poor kid.
	You saw that.
	No, I didn't.
	I didn't see it.
	Oh, he just, some kid asks just innocuous question and a series of questions and Biden goes ballistic.
	And I thought that that was going to be the beginning of the end because this was with about another half hour to go.
	Oh, it was flipping out because that was an hour in, an hour and a half in then.
	Yeah.
	I watched the whole thing from beginning to end and recorded it.
	And when Biden says, I'm going to go as long as you guys want...
	You're like, it's over!
	I'm surprised you didn't text me.
	Watch him die.
	Well, I thought it was going to get better than it did.
	I'm actually surprised that it was...
	He did one thing.
	I guess they talked him into this.
	You don't have an answer?
	Say, I don't know.
	Got me.
	At the very beginning of the press conference, he had his little list of who to call on, and they were reading their question like good little boys and girls, and he was reading the answer.
	And then at some point, they went off script completely, and he says, I'm going to go as long as you guys want.
	And he was just picking people out of the audience, and they were asking crazy stuff.
	Great.
	The best one will be...
	I'll start with the best and we'll just go from there.
	The best of the best, which is this one.
	This is the mental one.
	This is Biden's best of the best.
	Mental.
	Thank you very much for this honor.
	James Rosen with Newsmax.
	I'd like to raise a delicate subject, but with utmost respect for your life accomplishments and the high office you hold.
	Oh, I feel it coming.
	A poll released this morning by Politico Morning Consult.
	Found 49% of registered voters disagreeing with the statement, Joe Biden is mentally fit.
	Not even a majority of Democrats who responded strongly affirmed that statement.
	I'll let you all make the judgment whether they're correct.
	Well, so the question I have for you, sir, if you'd let me finish, is why do you suppose such large segments of the American electorate have come to harbor such profound concerns about your cognitive fitness?
	Thank you.
	I have no idea.
	Isn't that James Rosen who they threw in jail?
	Yeah.
	Obama and Biden threw him in jail.
	A reporter.
	They threw him in jail for like a week or something.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Because he wouldn't tell them their sources.
	Oh, yeah.
	That's why it's like, if you let me finish.
	Oh, my God.
	It's like he should do a podcast with him.
	So he does that and Biden goes, I don't know.
	Then he points to somebody else and they go off from there.
	There's no follow-up.
	Wait a minute.
	Let me back that up with Donnie Deutsch.
	This is short.
	33 seconds, of course.
	Donnie Deutsch is on MSNBC, the Morning Joe show, ex-advertising dude.
	From back in the day, we all know Donnie Deutsch.
	And so now he's a pundit, and he threw Brandon under the bus.
	Your audience is not going to be happy with what I have to say is, I don't think he's come across as an inspirational figure.
	I don't think, by the way, I could give a litany of things he's accomplished, and obviously Jonathan LeMere laid out things that have not gone well for him.
	But there's something else different.
	How many people do you talk to when they say, he seems old?
	And I don't mean that as an ageist thing.
	Yes, you do.
	It really started with Afghanistan, where he just didn't seem to have his hand firmly on the wheel.
	And I think a lot of this has to do with the messenger versus the messages itself.
	He doesn't feel in charge.
	Oh, he doesn't feel in charge.
	Donnie.
	He's fighting words.
	Now, here's where he blows up at the poor kid.
	Hold on.
	Didn't start.
	Here we go.
	You dispute the characterization that you called folks who would oppose those voting bills as being Bull Connor or George Wallace.
	But you said that they would be sort of in the.
	Can you explain for many Americans as well the Bull Connor statement?
	O'Connor refers to, I think, Birmingham, Alabama, chief of police, who was a gum-chewing guy, talked like this.
	He was the worst kind of guy I can imagine.
	Maybe he got some tobacco in his mouth, but he'd be talking about the Negroes.
	And we have to get them under control.
	And when was he around?
	He was the one that was associated most with the Birmingham spraying these poor blacks that were simply protesting in the streets with water cannons and then sending dogs after them.
	We ought to get the dogs.
	The dogs are going to get them out of here.
	So they'd have these, and this all ran on the evening news, and it just turned around the situation.
	And George Wallace?
	George Wallace was the governor of, I think, Alabama or Georgia.
	And George Wallace was a, actually, some, in hindsight, people think that he may have been somewhat misunderstood and just a populist going along with the program.
	But he was a segregationist.
	And so George Wallace was a segregationist.
	Bull Connor was a nasty old southern cop.
	And just so I understand, so Bull Connor and George Wallace were both Democrats?
	Yeah, of course.
	Just wanted to make sure I understood.
	So I'll bring this up.
	So Jay's boyfriend...
	Brought up this thing.
	He's at a dinner table.
	We don't talk politics much because he's like a liberal.
	Oh, like a liberal.
	He says this thing.
	He says, well, you know, I brought this something like these guys are what you just did.
	Oh, well, you know, the parties changed.
	Yeah, there was a switch.
	There was a switch.
	The switch parties.
	They taught it in school.
	I saw it in the book.
	No, they taught it at Diablo Valley College.
	He told me the teacher's name.
	Some guy taught political science at Diablo Valley College here in the Bay Area.
	And I said, okay, who switched?
	And he says, well, George Wallace was a Republican.
	And I said, and he became a Republican.
	I said, there's no, George Wallace was a Democrat and he died a Democrat.
	And I said, and he, so he looked, of course, the kids, kids, you know, they're millennials.
	So you look it up.
	They're looking it up on their phone.
	Oh yeah, okay.
	Well, that was somebody else then.
	No, you said George Wallace.
	Well, everybody else.
	Give me one example.
	One guy who switched parties.
	He actually thought that they had literally...
	Okay, you guys, we're going to become Democrats.
	You're going to become Republicans.
	Okay, ready?
	Switch.
	Yeah.
	Now, I know, but this was taught at University of Arkansas.
	This is taught at University of Texas.
	This switcheroo business, it's in the textbooks.
	I've seen it.
	I haven't seen it.
	Oh, I've had arguments about it.
	I'm like, show me this in your textbook.
	And there it is.
	You know, when we had the Dixie Crotch and, oh, okay.
	Yeah, right.
	Then we had the Big Switch.
	No, there's a different name for it.
	Democrats, the Big Switch.
	It had some kind of name.
	It's in all the literature.
	It's just so bogus.
	But your point is well taken.
	Yes, there were Democrats.
	All of them.
	Yeah.
	And so the kid continues with getting back on track.
	The kid brings it up because Biden in his last speech brought this up.
	He says, well, you know, you're going to be on the side of the George Wallace's or the side of the Bull Connors.
	And he made some stink about it.
	And so the kid just innocently asked some question.
	And here's what Biden does.
	You dispute the characterization that you called folks who would oppose those voting bills as being Bull Connor or George Wallace, but you said that they would be sort of in the same camp.
	No, I didn't say that.
	Look what I said.
	Go back and read what I said and tell me if you think I called anyone who voted on the side of the position taken by Bull Connor that they were Bull Connor.
	That is an interesting reading of English.
	I assume you got into journalism because you like to write.
	Hold on a second.
	Oh my God, this is fantastic.
	He's unhinged.
	Let me just hear this beginning here.
	Look what I said.
	Go back and read what I said.
	It sounds like me when I'm mad at you.
	This is great.
	And tell me if you think I called anyone who voted on the side of the position taken by Bull Connor that they were Bull Connor.
	Uh-huh.
	That is an interesting reading of English.
	I assume you got into journals because you like to write.
	So did you expect that would work with Senators Manchin or Sinema?
	No, here's the thing.
	There's certain things that are so consequential.
	You have to speak from your heart as well as your head.
	I was speaking out forcefully on what I think to be at stake.
	That's what it is.
	And by the way, no one...
	No one forgets who was on the side of King or Bull Connor.
	No one does not.
	The history books will note it.
	And when I was making the case, don't think this is a freebie.
	Man, I have no idea what he was talking about.
	Other than, you know, you're a dick, you're a journalist, you write in the journal or something.
	That's pretty bad.
	When that happened, knowing there's another half hour to go, I'm just licking my chops.
	Listen to this.
	What is the cause of the so-called switch?
	Many people who claim racist Democrats switch parties to become racist Republicans believe the change happened during the Civil Rights Act under President Lyndon B. Johnson.
	Yeah, okay.
	Anyway, did he...
	The racist Democrats did not drop their affiliation with the Democrat Party.
	They're still affiliated with the Democrat Party.
	I know.
	But it's out there.
	It's the mouse.
	It's the mouse.
	I'm a Democrat, but I'm not...
	My party's not racist enough.
	But also, what president still wants to connect with his constituents by talking about George Wallace and Bull Connor?
	Everyone goes, huh?
	Dated reference.
	Yes!
	Super dated.
	Yeah.
	Okay, onward.
	Yeah, what else you got?
	Here he is on the voting laws.
	A moment ago, you were asked whether or not you believed that we would have free and fair elections in 2022 if some of these state legislatures reformed their voting protocols.
	You said that it depends.
	Do you think that they would in any way be illegitimate?
	Oh yeah, I think it needs to be illegitimate.
	Imagine if, in fact, Trump has succeeded in convincing Pence to not count the votes.
	Imagine if...
	In regards to 2022, sir.
	Well, 2022, I mean, imagine if those attempts to say that the count was not legit.
	You have to recount it, and we're not going to discard the following votes.
	I mean, sure, I'm not saying it's going to be legit.
	The increase in the prospect of being illegitimate is a direct proportion of us not being able to get these reforms passed.
	Yeah, he screwed up with this.
	And he came out, I guess, earlier in the week and said, it doesn't matter what the count is, it's who counts, which I've been led to believe is a very Stalinist type of quote.
	Stalin apparently used to say, as long as I can count the votes, I don't care what you vote for, or something of that nature.
	So that didn't play very well.
	Actually, I have a report, Quickie, from...
	Well, before you play the report, I want to say this.
	Mm-hmm.
	Which is a performative.
	If this law is so needed, is that telling us that all the elections in the past have been frauds?
	Well, this is what people are wondering.
	It's like, well, what do you mean you can't do this?
	Has it been broken all along?
	Maybe politicos.
	I don't know how many...
	People aren't quite riled up about it just yet, but they will.
	This will probably help.
	This is CBS explaining the path forward on voting rights, which we've looked at some of these bills and it's all about drop boxes.
	Making it super easy to just mail in a vote.
	It makes fraud easy for the Democrats.
	Yes, well, for anybody, but yeah.
	I know the Republicans can do it too.
	In fact, I think a lot of, on the right-wing talk shows, you hear about a lot of these guys saying, well, I don't understand why the Republicans aren't standing.
	Republicans don't do this.
	The Republicans have probably got as much fraud going on as the Democrats.
	It's just who's better at it.
	And Nancy's back with us.
	I know you asked the president about the path forward on voting rights now that that bill is stalled in the Senate.
	What did he tell you?
	Nora, he said that it will involve executive action, but that he didn't want to reveal his strategy right now.
	Interestingly, he was also asked about frustration in the black community, a feeling that he should have done more and should have done it sooner.
	He said that it's a problem of my own making.
	I should have been out there communicating more.
	Executive action.
	That'll be interesting.
	He'll get sued to bits over that, I think.
	What kind of executive action can you do on voting, which is a state's rights?
	These people are insane.
	And the progressives are out there saying, oh yeah, we'll just do it with executive action.
	Okay.
	That should be fun.
	Okay, let's go to the Biden war in Yemen question.
	Mr.
	President, I would like to ask you about foreign policy.
	One of the first priority that you declared when you came to office was to end the war in Yemen, the catastrophic war in Yemen.
	You appointed a special envoy.
	Today, one of your allies, United Arab Emirates, is asking your administration to put back the Houthi rebels or militias back on the terror list.
	Are you going to do that?
	And how are you going to end the war in Yemen, sir?
	The answer is, it's under consideration, and ending a war in Yemen takes the two parties to be involved to do it, and it's going to be very difficult.
	It's a proxy war that we're fueling.
	It's going to be very difficult.
	Yeah, very difficult.
	It's another one of his non-answers, which I think was okay.
	For him.
	And then we have my last clip will be this one.
	Here he is skirting the question again.
	He must have been taking some seminars on this because he's done, I think on this press, except for the time he blew up at the poor kid.
	He held it together pretty well, actually.
	I'm very surprised.
	And here's a good example, even though, again, it's just a bunch of crock of crap.
	During your three-and-a-half-hour virtual summit in November with the Chinese president, you didn't press for transparency, and also whether that has anything to do with your son's involvement in an investment firm controlled by Chinese state-owned entities.
	The answer is that I did raise the question of transparency.
	I spent a lot of time with him, and the fact is that they're just not being transparent.
	Transparency on the coronavirus origins.
	Yes.
	And you did during the virtual summit.
	Is there a reason your press staff was unaware of that?
	And what did you say to a Chinese president?
	And they weren't with me the entire time.
	Look, I made it clear that I thought that China had an obligation to be more forthcoming on exactly what the source of the virus was and where it came from.
	But that's what he thought?
	Because his buddy, Xi Jinping, who he's spoken more and longer to than any world leader in the known universe, his buddy, Xi Jinping, he thought he was going to be forthcoming?
	Then he goes right to the next question.
	He never even addresses the Hunter Biden thing.
	He did a beautiful job of this.
	Yeah, that was...
	Good for him, then.
	Yeah, that's what I thought.
	What disturbs me always is, behind all the bumbling, are a bunch of pretty shrewd people who are writing these words, not these press questions and answers, but his actual speech.
	And I heard very clearly, now we've had a whole week, in fact, I'll just play this quickie just to accentuate the point.
	This is what we've been hearing all week.
	We have information that indicates Russia has already pre-positioned a group of operatives to conduct a false flag operation in eastern Ukraine.
	The operatives are trained in urban warfare and in using explosives to carry out acts of sabotage against Russia's own proxy forces.
	Our information also indicates that Russian influence actors are already starting to fabricate Ukrainian provocations in state and social media to justify a Russian intervention and so divisions in Ukraine.
	I mean, they don't even have to do anything at this point.
	Just slap some footage together and a voiceover.
	Everybody will believe it.
	Russia invaded!
	Invaded!
	False flag!
	Wag of the dog.
	It's totally wag the dog.
	Wag the dog.
	But here's the little bit that Biden said that got people a little bit rattled in Ukraine.
	I think what you're going to see is that Russia will be held accountable.
	If it invades, and it depends on what it does.
	It's one thing if it's a minor incursion and then we end up having to fight about what to do and not do, etc.
	Now, I saw this term pop up earlier in the week.
	There's a difference between invasion and incursion.
	Yeah, this is a big deal.
	This is one of the two items that got everybody's attention during this period.
	And he just kind of drops it in casually.
	Well, over on CNN, while this was taking place, Jake Tapper brings in their guy on the street from Ukraine.
	And this guy, he was so befuddled by it, he could hardly speak.
	Were Biden's remarks interpreted there as a less than wholehearted...
	Warning to Putin to not invade.
	Well, I mean, that's an understatement.
	I mean, they watch those remarks, I think, with horror.
	One Ukrainian official who I've been in close contact with while this marathon press conference is underway said that he was, I'm quoting here, shocked that President Biden would give a green light to Vladimir Putin in this way.
	That the US president would distinguish between an incursion and an invasion and suggest that a minor incursion would elicit a lesser response than a more full invasion.
	The big concern, of course, which is what he was alluding to, is that it gives Putin, and this is another quote from me, it said, gives the green light to Putin to enter Ukraine at his pleasure.
	And that's not just one Ukrainian official.
	Other Ukrainian officials have responded in a similar way.
	Kiev, in the words of another, is stunned by what President Biden had to say.
	And the reason for that is twofold.
	First of all, a minor incursion is perhaps the preferred option of Vladimir Putin.
	There's been a lot of talk in military circles about a land corridor being seized in the east of Ukraine by Russian forces, where there are tens of thousands of troops gathered, of course, in order to connect the war zone, the rebel-occupied war zone, and the Crimean Peninsula, which has already been annexed by Russia. and the Crimean Peninsula, which has already been annexed by So that's the kind of incursion that would, you know, perhaps be the number one option.
	Ha ha ha Giving Putin the green light!
	Go ahead, come on in!
	It couldn't be any clearer what these people are doing.
	And it's obviously not about Ukraine.
	And this was CNN, so I thought that was quite spectacular for them to go, holy crap, what did the president just say?
	Lots of stuff to talk about what Putin's doing in Russia, but first...
	I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in mea culpa, ladies and gentlemen, Mr.
	John C. Dvorak.
	Good morning to you.
	Mr. Adam Curiel, say in the morning, Steve Bustegraffy and the S.S. Award David's the Knights out there.
	All right.
	In the morning to the trolls in the troll room.
	Let's see how everybody did as we count y'all.
	Put your hands up there, trolls.
	Scurrying away.
	There they go.
	Oh, as usual.
	Let's see.
	2362.
	And is that my phone ringing?
	Why is my phone ringing?
	That's no good.
	401.
	Spammer.
	You know what I hate getting now, too, is you can't get insurance unless you get it through the marketplace ever again for the rest of your life, I guess.
	And even though, yeah, if you want to just buy insurance yourself privately, which is what we have to do, you know, podcaster and all that, then you have to, you cannot buy directly from the insurance company.
	You have to go through the marketplace.
	And then, so in essence...
	Is this Texas?
	You sure this is everywhere?
	Pretty sure.
	Mm-hmm.
	I'm pretty sure.
	Well, I have no idea since I used Medicare.
	Yeah, I tried Blue Cross, Blue Shield, everything.
	And we wound up with high Oscar disaster insurance.
	But it goes to the marketplace.
	What does that even mean?
	That's the Obamacare marketplace.
	You go in there, they determine that you do not qualify for free healthcare, so here's your bill.
	And then you do clickety-clack, and then eventually you get from Oscar, you get a bill.
	So it's not competitive.
	What do you mean it's not...
	Yes.
	You can't go to Blue Shield and say, hey, you know, Blue Cross will do a deal for me.
	They'll give you for 500 bucks a month.
	I can do this and that and the other thing.
	No, you can do that.
	We'll give you a better deal.
	We'll give it to you for $4.95.
	That's what the marketplace does.
	They show you all the different packages, all the different options.
	But what they do is they suck you into that database.
	They're calling you for six months after you've already gotten the insurance.
	And then they start calling you again because, oh, enrollment period is starting.
	So that's my gripe.
	2362, I think we had on the troll count.
	Good to see you here, trolls.
	They are at trollroom.io is where you can hop in, troll along, and be a part of the fun, the action, and say rude things and post horrible links about how John and I have messed up in the past. It's really quite rude. But that's why it's a troll room. So trollroom.io, you can listen live, noagendastream.com. You can do this for any of the shows across Gitmo Nation, which is 24-7 on noagendastream.com. Thank you all. Thank you.
	Let us remind you that NoAgendaSocial.com is where John and I can be found if you're looking for us on actual social media.
	Twitter is a very poor way to communicate these days and certainly to have any kind of thread of conversation.
	No Agenda Social does it well.
	It's a Mastodon server, and that means that you can connect to it from anywhere you have a Mastodon account.
	Follow at johncdvorak at noagentasocial.com or at adam at noagentasocial.com.
	Let's thank the artist for episode 1417.
	We titled that one Get Boris.
	Could not have been more appropriate that Boris is making crazy moves.
	And it was, well, another topic that carries over today.
	This was the arts brought to us by Roger Roundy.
	It was the false flag.
	Yeah, it was kind of interesting because it was just a flag.
	It said false.
	Yeah.
	Now, we felt that the font was nice.
	We felt the background worked.
	Well, no, but he also had it mapped.
	Yes.
	Which takes a little time.
	He mapped the word false over the flags so it was like, you know, flaggy looking.
	Yeah, it was good.
	Yeah.
	And it was mapped on it nicely, which takes some skill.
	Now, we wound up with this because as we were looking...
	I liked the Bax Boy or whatever it was from Darren O'Neill.
	And you said, no...
	I'm sick of Darren O'Neill.
	He does all the music in the morning and everything else, and all he wants to do is everything.
	That's exactly the problem.
	And I said, no, Darren O'Neill's a good guy.
	Yes, screw that guy in Chicago.
	Brrrr.
	We looked at every single one of the three dolphins, the killer dolphins, and none of them really hit it.
	I kind of like the, which one did I like here?
	I like the Mike Riley one, the mean-looking dolphin with the harpoon.
	The Build Back Better hats did not work at all.
	It was not funny.
	It just, I mean, it wasn't actually an instruction when we talked about it.
	And that's the thing.
	It's like, I think I said in the show, wear the Build Back Better hats.
	Well, now you know why they're not here, because no one will wear it.
	They're not interesting to look at.
	No one wants it.
	Go away.
	Yeah.
	Sorrow Sisters.
	I just didn't quite have it.
	Well, no, this is all new from today.
	What else was there?
	Oh, no, you like Nick the Rat's COVID kids.
	I liked Nick Durant's COVID kids a lot.
	But there was a problem with the kid in the bag.
	It didn't look right with the hand coming out of the bag.
	It was a technical error.
	Yeah, it was not quite executed perfectly.
	But it was definitely my favorite, except for the Vax kids.
	I liked that one.
	No, I hated that because, you know, Darren.
	I just can't have any of that.
	No, because you hate Darren.
	Roger Roundy, thank you very much for bringing us the artwork for episode 1417.
	He's off to some rally, I think, this weekend in D.C. He's huge in the community of meetups.
	Oh, totally.
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	He's always popping up.
	All right.
	Consider saving, protecting, and extending and enhancing podcasting by using a modern podcast app.
	Sorry?
	Before we go away from the art, I do want to read something.
	And I don't know, maybe you knew it.
	I don't think...
	I know.
	I mean, I knew it.
	I believe this is from our producer, James.
	I believe the Beacon Hat character from show 1416 is a plague doctor from the Dark Ages.
	And I've gotten a couple of notes about this.
	Yeah.
	That seems to be the most common use of that appearance, that crazy-looking thing with the top hat.
	Yes.
	I didn't...
	I mean, we picked it because it's a great-looking image, and it is reminiscent of something, but I didn't realize at the time, thinking back, kind of, yeah, okay, yeah, you're right.
	It was the plague doctor.
	Oh, you didn't know that?
	No.
	Oh, yeah.
	I think the people who watch the series The Great will probably recognize it right away.
	No, I don't know what series that is.
	Yeah, it's about Captain The Great.
	You should watch it.
	It's very good.
	Yes, it's the plague beak.
	And those beaks, they used to put all kinds of herbs and crap in there, which they thought would stop the plague from killing the doctor.
	Yeah.
	I'll tell you this much, the doctors who didn't die, it worked.
	On them it did, but only with the booster beak.
	For all of these images which you can see in a modern podcast app, go to newpodcastapps.com but really consider upgrading your podcast app to protect and enhance podcasting because Apple and Spotify don't care about your podcast and they rip stuff off and they're going to make it not work and suck and they de-platform and they're just no good.
	So try a modern podcast app.
	Now to thank our first executive producer for episode 1418.
	There he is from No Agenda Shop.
	Mr.
	Tony Cabrera comes in with $1,157.78.
	Location, Peachtree City, Georgia.
	Happy 2022 from the No Agenda Shop.
	John's sad puppy newsletter forced me to tally up your share of shop profits as well as the artist whose work was featured on products sold to propagate the formula.
	No jingles, no karma.
	So we can get on with the show!
	Tony gets us.
	He totally gets us.
	That's good, man.
	So artists also got that type of amount because they split it three ways.
	That's fantastic for the artist.
	I love that.
	That's some value for value right there.
	Thank you, Tony.
	And everyone to know Agenda Shop.
	Ed, was it Kammeyer, you think?
	Kammeyer?
	Kammeyer?
	Cam...
	Cameyer?
	Cameyer?
	Cameyer.
	He's in a Dina, Minnesota nuts, and he came in with $1,000.
	And he said, I need a D-douche.
	Oops, sorry.
	You've been D-douched.
	He came in from JRE in 2021, sometime in the summer.
	He meant to donate around episode 1400 and never got around to it.
	The outing of Spooks Weekly has me addicted!
	Yes.
	He wants some 1982 Lafitte misspell, which makes you wonder whether he really wants this or not.
	1982, which is a fabulous year.
	Lafitte Rothschild for the Roundtable.
	Short for Jay.
	Now...
	Ed is not on the list, man.
	How about that?
	Is there more to this note?
	Do I have to click on this box?
	No, but he's asking for...
	Hmm, that's very interesting.
	Yeah, it looks like that was missed.
	When we get around to putting him at the round table, we'll bring in some Lafitte.
	Well, we can do it today.
	He's expecting it today.
	We'll just call him Sir Ed.
	Well, but does he...
	Oh, he's got...
	Yeah.
	He has to be for something.
	This is an instant night.
	Instant night donation.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, he's not very...
	Okay, well, this brings him to 80 feet.
	It's dynamite.
	I got it.
	It's even spelled that way.
	In fact, I have that very bottle with that spelling.
	You'll love it.
	You'll love it.
	You got some Leffet Rothschild.
	Thank you very much, and I'm looking forward to seeing you at the roundtable, Ed.
	You'll be the only one today.
	Baron Husky Bottoms, 345.
	Sorry.
	I got one of those notes.
	I got a Windows update.
	Now, I got to be careful.
	I don't, because I don't have my mouse working.
	I have to use this other thing to click on snooze.
	Ah, got it.
	So what are you using if you're not using your arrow keys instead of the mouse?
	No, I have a, there is a pad on the keyboard.
	And everyone knows that no one's...
	Well, I forget how I worded it, but there's no evidence people want to use a pad.
	Baron Husky Bottom, the sheriff of Leeper's Fork, 34567.
	Hello, comrade!
	This will go towards the eventual knighting of Stiesel the Diesel, whose last contribution was 333,333 miles.
	This donation of 34567 will match the affordable version of its odometer reading, which recently hit.
	Did you see this picture?
	No.
	This is the one you want to get.
	And I remember he sent in a donation at 3-3-3-3-3.
	His odometer was 3-4-5-6-7-8-9.
	Wow.
	And so he kept it at the affordable 3-4-5-6-7, but we do love those sequential numbers.
	And Cecil the Diesel has picked up a vibration that is worrisome, but I have faith he can make it to 400,000 and has one more trip west in him.
	I've struggled with the transition of being an employee this last year after 18 plus years of entrepreneurship.
	By the way, a lot of diesels go a million miles.
	Yep.
	Certainly the engine.
	Yeah, well, yeah.
	My last position was extremely rewarding due to the people I work with and the projects we had.
	Unfortunately, leadership was a rudderless ship that was not on a path I wanted to travel.
	I was able to hit some folks in the mouth and would like to call out Greg as a douchebag.
	I haven't heard him donate yet.
	My hope is that I was able to show enough positivity that some of it will outlast my tenure.
	COVID anecdotal evidence wore a mask in the beginning, late February 20 in Tennessee, until about late April 2020.
	At that time, I'd been winding down my company, selling equipment at auctions, yard sales, potential asset buyers, and other events that exposed me to hundreds of thousands of people.
	Then because of this sale, 2020 allowed me an opportunity I could not get again.
	I was able to road trip with my kids over half the country for two months.
	Wow, right on, Dad.
	Visiting all sorts of family and destinations, while zooming in for school, I presume.
	Dangerous living, one would think, until my wife tested positive in late August 2021.
	She was for sure sick with fever and flu-like symptoms.
	I did not distance, slept in the same bed, pretty sure I mouth-kissed her.
	Nothing happened.
	Two months later, I felt like crap and left work and requested an antibody test and rapid test for work.
	The result was no antibodies and a high positive for COVID on a rapid test.
	Fever for three days.
	Sure felt bad.
	The strangest thing being my skin hurting.
	I've heard this.
	Not making any assumptions, but based on my experience, it could be as near transmissible based on two years of activity.
	Not interested in the argument, but would think this kind of information might be valuable in assessment phase if anyone was interested.
	You know what?
	I don't think we're interested anymore in any anecdotal COVID stories.
	I love that people send them in, but...
	It's all the same.
	It's never the same, is the point.
	Nothing is uniform.
	Jobs karma, says Baron Husky Bottoms, and we are happy to deliver that.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Next is, and I await the music.
	Oh, did I miss him?
	Oh, my goodness.
	I didn't even see the name.
	I'm so sorry.
	Yes.
	Thank you for calling me on that.
	Ladies and gentlemen, I present the Grand Duke of the Pacific Northwest, Sir Dwayne Melanson.
	There he is.
	Unbelievable.
	Haven't heard from him in a while.
	Well, no, we have not.
	And he's still in Tigard, Oregon.
	Dwayne Melanson, Duke of the Pacific Northwest, $333.33.
	ITM Gents, quiet but not overboard.
	In fact, I've quietly sent 55,000 plus stats via Cast-O-Matic.
	But this is more conspicuous, and I have no idea how much 55k stats is.
	Huntsman Chinese and karma for all producers.
	You've got karma.
	What does this mean?
	Oh, he's using a Podcasting 2.0 app and he's trying to boost stuff to us which we're not receiving because we don't promote that and it doesn't go to us.
	But I've just never brought it up.
	But he is supporting Podcasting 2.0 and the app that he's using, that's for sure.
	I guess so.
	We like that.
	This note.
	This was a...
	Let me see.
	Kyle Barron at Green Bay, Wisconsin, 33333.
	And he has sent in a card, which is very funny, actually.
	And we love cards.
	He made that himself, it looks like, doesn't it?
	No, not the, no.
	No?
	If you see it, it's the offset print.
	In the morning, no agenda meetups are great fun.
	No agenda social is the best.
	I love how varied in thought everyone is.
	Thanks to everyone for the friendship.
	I hope the podcast fun lasts a long time.
	Thank you for your courage, Sir Kyle.
	Boom.
	Very nice.
	Tidewater Architects on many cool end-of-show mixes.
	333 from Santa Fe, New Mexico in the morning.
	John and Adam, First Wave Roganite.
	And I'm a douchebag.
	Please take care of that.
	You've been de-douched.
	Faithful listeners since episode 1225, The Toilet Preppers.
	This show has been so valuable to me.
	Thank you.
	I wonder what we were helping you prep with.
	I am finally donating.
	However, I have contributed to the show with some of my talents, so I want to introduce myself.
	I created the Asian Dog Karma jingle in 2020.
	We should probably play that to remind people how that sounds.
	Asian Dog Karma, which is actually French Bulldogs.
	and he has contributed many cool end of show mixes since then But now, he says, a few months ago, I made this Janet Yellen jobs karma jingle.
	And then a week later, I landed an amazing dream job here in Santa Fe.
	But I've been holding out.
	And now I have to share this jingle of fortune with No Agenda Nation, hoping it will bring some good jobs karma to anyone who needs it.
	So this is, we take these things seriously.
	If someone creates some kind of system that might work, we want to give that option.
	So here is the Janet Yellen Jobs Karma.
	Jobs.
	I guess I have to add the karma after it.
	I kind of like that one.
	I like it.
	It's cute.
	I'll do it with the karma just to complete it.
	Jobs.
	You've got karma.
	I like it.
	Well, we'll see if that catches on.
	Dame Meowdison in Altamont Springs, Florida is our first associate executive producer at $259.49.
	ITM, John and Adam.
	The sad puppy in the newsletter got me, so I'm donating $259.49 to bring me up to Baroness status.

	No, you've got.
	I like that one.
	Good one, good one, good one.
	Ryan Gillo, 242, Associate Executive Producer, 242.02, and asked for the long-format boob anthem.
	Now, I think that's like three minutes, so that's a no.
	But we do have the boobs.
	Boobs.
	We have the one that you got.
	No, that is the long one.
	Oh, I have it.
	Yeah, I got it here.
	I have a short one for you.
	Long form.
	Oh, is the boob anthem made by yours truly?
	Oh, man.
	Now do I have to make sure that was Ryan?
	Okay, I don't know if this is him.
	I hope so.
	Happy 21st Anniversary, Baroness Dane Bang Bang 12101.
	That's their wedding date.
	Date times two for each of us equals 242.02.
	And we've had plenty of fights, but here we still are.
	Love is lit.
	or DH Sammer.
	Boobies, boobies, boobies, boobies, boobies, boobies, boobies.
	Okay.
	Viscount Dirty Dick Bangs of D.C. That's Washington, D.C. $200.
	And he writes in, in a purple message, I saw the beagle, I knew what to do.
	This is in memory of my beagle butt.
	The buck.
	Sorry, beagle buck.
	The best of the worst.
	He's going to give us a lecture about beagles for people out there looking for dogs.
	The best of the worst.
	Beagles are at times the best dog and the worst dog to own.
	If you see the cute, super cute puppy, just know it will grow up to be an aggressive homeless person just going through your trash looking for food.
	No words can describe when they get into the baby's diaper bin.
	Shout out to Team ABC Archer Campbell Bangs, age 4.
	Love the drone sound effects.
	Barrett Alexander Bangs, age 6.
	Loves goat screams.
	Colton Reed Bangs, age 2.
	Also loves goat screams.
	Will Guerin, G-R-E-R-I-N. You are a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	And thanks for all you do, Viscount Dirty Dick Bangs of DC. So I guess he's got a request for three songs there in there.
	Yeah, I got him.
	I actually like that combo because the sound of the drone, I can see somebody going nuts and screaming I can see somebody going nuts and screaming about it.
	It was a good concept.
	Yeah.
	Eddie Jennings is next on the list from West Haven, Connecticut, $200.
	And a short note says he's from West Haven.
	I finally got a couple of extra bucks, and I listen, I don't feel like a douchebag.
	And finally, I'm here to tell you to please de-douche me.
	You've been de-douched.
	Listening since Rogan 2020.
	Love the show.
	Hmm?
	Adam Alamano, Columbia County, Oregon, $200, Associate Executive Producer, a real credit.
	Hey A&J, I've been listening on and off for a few years and finally, also needs a dedouching.
	You've been dedouched.
	Please send podcast karma for my show, Debra Gets Red Pilled.
	We just recorded episode 100.
	Thanks from non-compliant Columbia County, Oregon, Adam Alamano.
	All right, Debra gets red-pilled.
	We got some karma for your podcast.
	You've got karma.
	Last on the list is Lindsay Fox in Thorpe, Wisconsin for $200.
	And she writes, Chad and I attended the Spook vs.
	Spook meetup in January 13th in Menominee, Wisconsin.
	Menominee.
	And did not disappoint.
	It's a first for us both.
	It was a pleasure meeting everyone and we enjoyed our great conversations.
	Definitely a welcome break from reality.
	That is reality, by the way.
	That's not a break from reality.
	And the company was top shelf.
	We even had the opportunity to meet a dude named Ben in the flesh.
	And thank you to Chris for organizing the event and sharing the group photo.
	We appreciate it.
	Wishing the entire Noagenda Nation all the best.
	We move into 2022.
	Keep being awesome and thank you for all your well wishes, support and encouragement.
	We have been waiting on a response regarding no checks meets case against the USDA. I don't know if we have any update.
	And recently added two additional plaintiffs to the complaint.
	That's interesting.
	Yeah, you need to know.
	As with everything government-related, the wheels turn slowly.
	The patience is the most important.
	And to John and Adam, thank you for keeping our amygdalas in check.
	Your witty banter and thorough analysis of events is refreshing and enlightening.
	Can we please split this donation between myself and Chad?
	No check.
	And we should mention the bookkeeping yourself.
	No jingles, but could you please give us some...
	Traditional goat karma for everyone out there fighting the good fight.
	Thank you for your courage.
	Lindsay R. Fox, Nolicek Meats in Thorpe, Wisconsin.
	Yes.
	They are fighting the man.
	They're fighting the USDA over stupid mandates, and I'm proud of them for doing it.
	They're making good headway.
	People should support them at Nolicek Meats.
	Yeah, just write it up.
	They'll send you some delicious Wisconsin brats, which are the best in the world, outside of Germany.
	And they compete nicely with German brats.
	There was some sad news out of Menominee, Wisconsin this morning.
	I'm a nominee?
	Mm-hmm.
	My favorite aircraft manufacturer, Enstrom, whom I trained on the Enstrom 480B, turbine, single-engine helicopter.
	They are closed for good.
	No more parts.
	That's the end of Enstrom helicopter forever.
	Yeah, that's a real problem if you own an Enstrom helicopter.
	You're pretty screwed.
	I was sad.
	I really loved their helicopters.
	Done.
	Closed.
	That stinks.
	Yeah.
	I don't know how many people are working Menominee, but it was a pretty big organization.
	All right.
	We'll be able to pick those up cheap once the flying cars come in.
	That's it for our executive producers and associate executive producers.
	We really appreciate these people hearing the call, seeing the sad puppy.
	We don't throw the puppy unless we need to and you came in and really saved the day.
	Thank you to all of you.
	And thank you also to the artists who helped create the t-shirts that did so well in the sales at NoAgendaShop.com.
	We have no agreement with them.
	They just send us whatever is fair value when it's time to.
	And that's how it works for most of these donations.
	If you want to keep the show around, if you want to keep your Menominee meet coming, you've got to support it.
	That's how it goes.
	If you'd like to be an executive producer of the No Agenda Show or associate executive producer, you can find out all the information on our handy webpage.
	Thank you all once again for producing episode 1418 of the best podcast in the universe.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Water!
	Order!
	Shut up, ladies!
	Squirrels!
	Shut up, Steve!
	Redu Russia?
	Thank you.
	you Who's Russian?
	Should we do Russia?
	Should we do Russia?
	I got some Russian stuff.
	Do I have any Russian stuff?
	I don't know.
	Why don't you start?
	Okay, so we ended with Psaki hyping the false flag.
	Let us go to, well, maybe we should just bring in Jake Sullivan, who is in our State Department there.
	Jake the Snake.
	Is he also an assistant or deputy douche?
	You think he's a deputy douche?
	I think he's a deputy douche.
	He's on with Margaret over at CBS.
	Microsoft last night said they discovered all sorts of highly destructive malware in computer networks in Ukraine.
	Ukraine was hit by a cyber attack earlier in the week as well.
	Is Russia using this to prepare the battlefield?
	And will a cyber strike draw U.S. sanctions?
	Cyber strike.
	We've been warning for weeks and months, both publicly and privately, that cyber attacks could be part of a broad-based Russian effort to escalate in Ukraine.
	We've been working closely with Ukrainians to harden their defenses, and we will continue to do so in the days ahead.
	We're also coordinating with the private sector, companies like Microsoft, both in Ukraine and here in the United States, in case there are potential cyber attacks that unfold in the coming months here.
	Of course it's possible that Russia could conduct a series of cyber attacks.
	That's part of their playbook.
	They've done it in the past in other contexts.
	We have not specifically attributed this attack yet.
	Neither we nor some of the key private sector firms have attributed it, but we're working hard on attribution, and we will do everything we can to defend and protect networks against the type of destructive malware that Microsoft flagged in their blog post last night.
	So Microsoft's in on the game.
	Well, first of all, let's stop right here and mention the fact that Ukraine is always seen as one of the great cyber destroyers of the world.
	They sent out them and Iran, surprisingly enough.
	I mention this on the show all the time.
	And North Korea, somehow.
	North Korea is focused.
	Macedonia.
	I remember talking to some security guy once.
	He says, yeah, we start tracking down some of this stuff.
	And as soon as we see a Ukrainian IP address, we just stop because we're going nowhere.
	Shut it down.
	CrowdStrike is, of course, by origin, a Ukrainian company.
	So when Jake the Snake says, oh yeah, we got the private sector in there.
	Remember, that's where the Hillary Clinton server went.
	CrowdStrike had the...
	I don't forget these things easily.
	CrowdStrike had the server.
	They took it to Ukraine.
	CrowdStrike, the ping, ping, boom, boom thing.
	Yeah, the Pew Pew.
	The Pew Pew map.
	Pew Pew Pew Pew.
	They have become, by default, because they're such douchebags, but I don't think it was actually them who was the Pew Pew company.
	It was someone else.
	There we go.
	That's it.
	Someone in the troll room will probably know.
	Norse.
	That's right.
	N-O-R-S-E. Norse.
	They had the map.
	But it might as well have been CrowdStrike.
	It's all so bogative.
	All right.
	We continue with Jake because...
	Because this, of course, if it's a cyber incursion...
	Well, the Ukrainians are saying it looks like it has some Russian fingerprints on it.
	Why wouldn't this draw U.S. sanctions?
	Why are you waiting for Vladimir Putin...
	Tired of these analogies.
	Fingerprints.
	Cyber fingerprints.
	...to go further and actually cross the border.
	Aren't we already in the middle of a conflict?
	Well, first, Margaret, as I said before, we need to work through attribution.
	And again, as I said, this is part of the Russian playbook, so it would not surprise me one bit if it ends up being attributed to Russia.
	But let's do first things first.
	Let's get attribution and then make a determination about what we do next.
	In other words.
	In terms of sanctions, what we have laid out is a very clear message to the Russians.
	And we've done so in concert and unison with our allies, that if they do further invade Ukraine, there will be severe economic consequences and a price to pay.
	And yes, of course, if it turns out that Russia is pummeling Ukraine with cyber attacks, and if that continues over the period ahead, we will work with our allies on the appropriate response.
	There's no real conflict!
	Maybe.
	Maybe yeah.
	Maybe not.
	What were we going to say?
	I was just going to say my series of clips is about the short notice.
	Suddenly Blinken has come up with this concept that the Russians are going to attack on short notice.
	Oh, hold on.
	I'm going to play the Blinken clip and then I want to hear your Blinken clip because that will be perfect.
	So this is, again, CBS, the Central Intelligence Broadcast System.
	Now, Russia is everywhere these days.
	I think they're wargaming in Belarus.
	Kazakhstan is, for all intents and purposes, there's a media stop.
	Nothing coming out of Kazakhstan.
	I mean, yeah, there's videos and bit-shooters.
	Out there saying, yeah, the president's gone.
	Everyone's fled.
	There's no government.
	I don't know if that's true from the mainstream.
	All I can get is the president fired the defense minister.
	But I don't know.
	We just don't know.
	The Russians are still in Kazakhstan.
	We have no idea about Ukraine or about Belarus.
	But Anthony Blinken, he's on the call.
	This is our...
	Secretary of State.
	With Russian troops now in Belarus for war games, U.S. officials are increasingly concerned that Ukraine's neighbor may help Vladimir Putin attack.
	My guess is he will move in.
	President Biden said today he expects Putin to defy him, but at great cost.
	So this is not all just a cakewalk.
	For Russia, militarily, they have overwhelming superiority, but they'll pay a stiff price immediately, near-term, medium-term, and long-term, if they do it.
	Ukraine now says there are 127,000 Russian troops encircling it, giving Putin the option of invading from the north, from the east, where his forces have been positioned since November, and from Crimea in the south.
	We know that there are plans in place to increase that force.
	Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Kyiv today warned Russia could take imminent action.
	That gives President Putin...
	You know what that is?
	That is a reporter who hangs out with Victoria Nuland and that gang.
	Because most people would say Kyiv.
	Kyiv is no longer said, because that's still like 80s, but Kyiv.
	But this Kyiv thing...
	We discussed this when it first showed up in the news, which was during the Obama era.
	Yeah.
	And it turns out that Keeve is the correct pronunciation.
	But it's affected.
	It's an affectation as far as...
	We're English.
	We speak English, American English.
	We have our way of pronouncing things.
	We don't say Paris or France.
	We say Kiev.
	We don't say Kiev.
	Well, this is a milieu thing.
	That's why I'm pointing it out.
	Oh, it's totally a milieu thing.
	And that tells you who's in charge.
	Horses have been positioned since November and from Crimea in the south.
	We know that there are plans in place to increase that force.
	Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Kyiv today warned Russia could take imminent action.
	That gives President Putin the capacity Also on very short notice to take further aggressive action against Ukraine.
	And new concern among US officials tonight that Russia might put nuclear weapons next door in Belarus.
	While providing future aid to Ukraine gets bipartisan support, Republican lawmakers urge swift action now.
	Sanctions and actions need to happen now.
	Now!
	So the sanctions are removing Russia from the global financial system?
	That's the threat, I believe?
	That's the big one?
	Yeah.
	I like that.
	I like that.
	You can't use dollars.
	You can't use dollars.
	Okay, we'll use renminbi.
	Well, how about...
	Yes!
	Or maybe Euros?
	Don't undercount those European Union guys.
	They won't back us.
	They need their gas coming into Germany.
	You know, to risk ruining the dollar with this sort of a play, that's the last thing we should be doing.
	So stupid!
	I mean, of all the things we want to do, we don't want to take the dollar out of play.
	Okay, how about this?
	Even with the Russians.
	How about this?
	This is the Great Reset.
	This is it.
	This is it?
	Let's ruin everything.
	We might as well just declare a depression tomorrow and just put the out of business sign up.
	Hey, keep the sad puppy thing handy, brother.
	It's coming.
	These people are insane.
	I don't think they're insane.
	I think they're just stupid.
	And I consider that a big difference.
	Okay.
	Let's go to...
	This is the short notice series.
	There's three clips.
	This is the Ukraine short notice.
	They're going to attack all of a sudden Blinken, who's a genius, I guess.
	A strategist.
	He's a war strategist.
	And I kept this first part short because there's a point to be made here.
	And U.S. officials are keeping a keen eye on escalating tensions overseas as Russia sends more troops towards Ukraine's border.
	Today, the Secretary of State visited Ukraine, warning officials that Putin could launch an attack on very short notice.
	Now, a couple of things.
	One, how would he know this?
	They have the playbook.
	They have the playbook.
	He stole the playbook.
	Do you think there's even a remote possibility that Russia's doing some stuff just to jack us around and jerk our chains, as it were, because we're already shipping tons of money and crap to Ukraine?
	It's going to cost us a lot of money, and there's no evidence that anything's going on, and Putin has declared that he's not going to invade Ukraine.
	Is he going to be...
	Well, hold on.
	That's a little bit Megyn Kelly-ish.
	Giving Putin the benefit of the doubt in this, that that's just what he's doing to become dominant and drawing us out.
	Maybe?
	I don't know.
	This is the part two.
	Senator Todd Young tells NTD why this concerns Americans.
	He says our ability to trade and live freely could be impacted if other autocrats, like Communist China, feel emboldened to further encroach upon the free world.
	NTD's Melina Weiskopf reports.
	A group of senators today highlighting their concern for the intense situation on the Ukraine border.
	And although this group was made up of all Republicans, they wanted to emphasize the fact that both parties, Republicans and Democrats, are unified with support behind Ukraine during this tense time.
	The president this morning met with some of these senators to discuss how they'll move forward to tackle this threat.
	This morning's briefing with the president was informative and I think constructive.
	And I think at this point, the message is loud and clear.
	The United States stands as one.
	Senator Todd Young tells us that the U.S. must show resolve handling Russian aggression to prevent other autocrats from feeling emboldened to encroach on the free world.
	If we allow Russia to do that in Ukraine, then Xi Jinping will be inclined to do similar things as it relates to Taiwan and other territories that fall outside of the People's Republic of China, and other autocrats will also be incentivized.
	And that impacts regular Americans.
	Name what?
	Name one!
	Other autocrats?
	That will be incentivized to start moving forward, taking over democracies.
	Name one.
	Outside of Xi Jinping?
	Yeah, obviously.
	He's a known factor.
	Name another one.
	All these autocrats are all over the place, and they're going to take over everything.
	Name one.
	Hey, I can't come up with Bolsonaro?
	Bolsonaro?
	Bolsonaro is not an autocrat.
	He's an elected Brazilian president.
	Bolsonaro.
	Hey, this is a trick question.
	I have no answer.
	You keep saying name one.
	I just threw one out there.
	Well, no, they're saying it.
	I mean, they make it sound as though it's so obvious that all these autocrats are going to be moving forward with their plans to take over the world.
	Name one.
	They don't name one.
	They just ping, she-she-ping.
	Yeah.
	And they're all Republicans.
	These are Republicans.
	Republicans and Democrats are like, hey, how about, and you want to protect the border of the Ukraine.
	How about the Ukraine?
	Sorry I said that.
	But why don't you protect the border of Arizona and Texas?
	They're doing exactly what they said they would.
	They're protecting to make sure everyone gets in safely.
	Please.
	Well, anyway, I'm waiting for all these autocrats to make their move.
	Yeah.
	Okay, I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	Part three.
	That impacts our ability to trade, our ability to live freely, and ultimately could find its way to our shores.
	So the United States has long been the protector of this free, democratic, open order.
	And if we don't lead, no one else will.
	And this is a point Secretary of State Antony Blinken emphasized today as he visited Ukraine.
	It makes other countries think that they, too, can violate the rules of international peace and security and put their narrow interests ahead of the shared interests of the international community.
	Ah, perfect.
	Yep.
	This is exactly, this was on Fox Business News.
	They took this to its logical conclusion.
	10 seconds.
	If, in fact, Russia goes into Ukraine, will China go into Taiwan or try to take that over?
	We don't know the sequence with which they will time it, but it ups the odds dramatically, and they're already very high.
	Yes, it will say to China, you can do this, and America will release another Spotify list from Secretary of State Tony Blinken.
	Yeah.
	This has me very concerned.
	I mean, just the danger to the dollar, the danger to global energy markets, the issues, just all issues with China, with Taiwan.
	Maybe this is the playbook.
	Take it all down.
	Let's do it.
	Let's reset it.
	Well, it could be.
	If the reset takes place, it gives it to China.
	Because Russia's not going to do anything economically worth of crap.
	No, no, no.
	I mean, all they got, they got their one, they got their cash cow, which is pumping gas into Eastern Europe and pumping gas into Germany.
	Well, yeah, it's six times the price right now.
	So, you know, this would behoove the whole green climate change movement.
	It's a lot of things in one.
	You know, we cut Russia off.
	Okay, so the first thing that happens is no gas.
	Gas will be a problem flowing to Europe.
	We're not going to stop overnight, but there's going to be issues because how are we going to pay for it and you've got to do stuff and Russia will be pissed.
	So maybe they say, hey, you know, Germans, we're not going to give you anything.
	We'll just give it all to China.
	Yeah, that's where it's all going to get routed.
	It's going to all go to China.
	China's going to be an easy street.
	Gas, there will be the world's currency.
	They already started their own movie industry and are kicking all Hollywood people out.
	Well, actually, Hollywood's bailing.
	Well, because they can't do anything, get anything done.
	They can't get any money out of these cheap bastards.
	Yeah.
	They only don't get the big dough they expected, but then the Chinese are pushing them around about what they can say and do.
	You can't write that.
	It makes my uncle look bad.
	My favorite one, just one of these anecdotal things I read in the trades.
	One of the movies was about a Hong Kong gang and all this other stuff, and one of the things was it involved having a corrupt police commissioner in Hong Kong, and they just nixed it.
	No, you can't do that.
	We don't have any corruption in this country or anything to do with us.
	And no girly boys on television either.
	Yeah, well, that may be a plus.
	Well, it...
	You know, it's kind of interesting because woke Hollywood, yeah, they're leaving.
	I'm sure many will try and stay, but they now, in essence, have to become unwoke in order to work in China.
	You can't be all that.
	Yes, it's very ironic.
	So Larry Fink...
	Who is a part of this big game, as far as I'm concerned.
	He's the CEO of BlackRock, who now, in his annual letter, which he sends to CEOs, and it's published far and wide.
	He thinks he's Warren Buffett.
	Well, he does control $10 trillion, so he does have some power.
	And his whole letter is explaining how, here's our word, stakeholder capitalism, and who did we first hear that from?
	Klaus Schwab, is not woke.
	No, no, no, no.
	This is just capitalism.
	Stakeholder capitalism.
	Of course, just pay no attention to the equity part of it.
	But in this letter, he writes about why everybody's quitting.
	Thank you.
	And this is something you and I have been keeping our eye on.
	Yes, we've tried to follow this.
	And he says, because the old world of work is gone.
	And when you think about it...
	For him?
	Well, when you think about it, there's some truth to it.
	But what's really happened is the social contract has been broken across two generations, and you were supposed to be able to work hard and make enough money to have kids and a family and send them to school.
	You know, the American dream.
	Or a house.
	Yeah, a house would be nice.
	So that's broken.
	It's not there anymore.
	And people are disillusioned, but they are also being...
	And you actually said, hey, wait a minute.
	Are they pushing this great resignation?
	And the answer partially came to me yesterday.
	And Scylla actually shot me a message.
	She says that if you look at Reddit, you go to the homepage of Reddit.
	Now, I don't know if you have to be signed in or not.
	I'm not.
	I will turn off my pie hole for this one time because I block Reddit from all my life.
	She says they are continuously pushing the anti-work subreddit.
	It's always the top of the page.
	Oh, really?
	And the anti-work subreddit subtext is, Unemployment for all, not just the rich!
	Would you like to hear a few entries just at random from the top here?
	I would love to hear, but I will make a suggestion for people out there who want to go in this direction, which I'm sure they want to.
	I'm going to go back to something I saw probably when I was in my first year of college in some...
	I went to visit some guys that were a bunch of inveterate gamblers, and they never worked a day in their life, and they never will.
	Probably still don't.
	So there's not completely anything new.
	But the sign was, God is unemployed.
	Wow, that's pretty deep when you think about it.
	Here we go.
	As a freelancer, client removed his payment info from our weekly billing agreement.
	I stopped work.
	He said he didn't think I would stop working.
	See, it's all about how unfair everything is.
	Um...
	Communist.
	Yeah, yeah, to some degree.
	My dad bragged that he worked 100 hours this week.
	He's 63.
	I just felt sad that he saw nothing wrong with that.
	Uh...
	This is exactly why out-of-touch owners think there's a labor shortage.
	And then it has $11 an hour for a web developer in California.
	You've got to admit, they've got a point there.
	$11 an hour.
	Manager tells me, I'm not behaving like an adult as I gave my notice for being underpaid one-third of my payslip.
	A lot of it has to do with not feeling rewarded.
	And not feeling satisfied in the work.
	Manager suggested I tell my very pregnant, very sick wife to man up because I've got a career to focus on.
	And then I did.
	I left.
	So yeah, people are leaving for the smallest thing.
	You could put together a Reddit, a subreddit with endless petty grievances.
	That's what it is.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that's what it is.
	It should be resolved by unions.
	Yeah, well, that's not going to happen anymore.
	So, it does seem to be a concerted push.
	Certainly with the algos.
	And, you know, we all know who took the most recent $300 million stake in Reddit.
	Who?
	China!
	Oh.
	Hello.
	China could do this.
	They could get away.
	You know, they have some propaganda chops.
	They know how to control the media, tell people what to do, club them if they don't obey.
	Well, speaking of the Chinese and China, Eric Swalwell is not alone in his gaffes and goofs.
	They discovered a Chinese spy in UK Parliament.
	How did this alleged agent of the Chinese Communist Party gain influence at the heart of British democracy?
	Christine Lee, a Chinese lawyer living in London, has spent years and hundreds of thousands of pounds trying to interfere in UK politics.
	And she has managed to rub shoulders with Prime Ministers, party leaders and other influential figures.
	But today MI5 issued a major security alert warning MPs about her activities.
	The Security Service interference alert sent to MPs identified Christine Lee as knowingly engaged in political interference activities on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party.
	She has been, it said, engaged in the facilitation of financial donations to political parties, parliamentarians and individuals seeking political office in the UK. Yeah.
	It sounds like every country does that and every government if possible.
	Of course.
	Just listen to this guy.
	This is an NBA player, a tall, one of these big centers with what looks like Eastern European origins.
	I think he's Muslim.
	And he's, I guess, befriended or knows Yao Ming, the great Chinese basketball player that's so famous over there and was a good player here.
	And he's got a hair up his ass about China.
	This is going to come to bite him in the ass somehow, but let's see what happens.
	This NBA player in China.
	Boston Celtics center Ennis Cantor Freedom has been outspoken in his criticism of human rights abuses in China.
	He responded to a request to visit China from former NBA star Yao Ming on social media today.
	I want to be very clear.
	I have nothing against Chinese people.
	My problem is with the cultish Chinese Communist Party and the brutal dictator Xi Jinping.
	I would like to come to China this summer and see everything with my own eyes.
	But on this trip, will we be able to visit the Uyghur slave labor camps?
	Or visit the innocent woman being tortured, raped and abused.
	Will we get to see how the regime destroys bodies after harvesting their organs?
	So there is no evidence.
	Or will you show me propaganda only?
	Freedom went on to ask if they could visit Taiwan, Tibet, and Hong Kong together and pointed out how Chinese Communist rule, or the threat of it, has adversely affected them.
	Somehow I missed the video footage of the tossing out bodies after they've been de-organized.
	De-organized.
	De-organed.
	You know, I don't doubt...
	That they have these Uyghurs enslaved and they're torturing them.
	But it would be fun to see a little more evidence than just that one drone footage of them at the station with the hoods on.
	You know, the Chinese can let the media in.
	They won't do it.
	Oh, no.
	So, I mean, something's going on or the Chinese would...
	I mean, they can't even propagandize away from it.
	I mean, usually they have enough skills to be able to make it, you know, phony it up.
	They can't even get that far.
	I think why this is needed is...
	I don't think this resonates.
	I don't think people care.
	You know, Uyghurs, it's a faceless type of person.
	You don't know what a Uyghur looks like.
	We've never seen him.
	Not really.
	We've seen him with hoods on.
	You hear a lot, slaves, torture, blah, blah, blah.
	Well, the clip I didn't get, which I've now irked about, The small partner is a 10% co-owner of the San Francisco Warriors.
	Oh, Chamath the Douche.
	What's his name?
	He was on with Jason Calacanis.
	I saw it over and over again and no one ever mentioned Jason, ever.
	Oh.
	By name, they show his face every so often.
	I guess it was some podcast he does this week in startups or something.
	Yeah, and that guy, is his name Shamath?
	I think it's Shamath.
	He's always on that show.
	Well, he got Cali Canis to go, what?
	And the guy, I'll just summarize, the guy says, I don't know about the Uyghurs.
	Who cares?
	It's dumb.
	You know, nobody gives a crap about the Uyghurs.
	And he went on and on about it.
	Now, I think he said...
	That's really not high on my things of worry about.
	That's how he finished.
	My to-do list is like at the bottom.
	He just went on about it.
	He's just a total douche.
	There's things you can say.
	There's things you can think.
	Meanwhile, Calacanis, they never mentioned his podcast what the name of it was.
	They just had this guy.
	I just thought that was bad marketing on Calacanis' part.
	I don't know if Calacanis wants that stink on him.
	Well, Calacanis was pushing back.
	I thought he was doing a pretty good job.
	That's what I'm saying.
	Maybe he just doesn't want that.
	Maybe he doesn't just let it go away.
	I don't want that stink on me.
	Maybe.
	Maybe.
	I don't know.
	I can't believe that.
	I think he'd want the stink.
	So in him.
	If we're done with that, we can move straight into climate change because why not?
	There's a couple things we need to look at that are on the way.
	This actually fits in with the Russian stuff.
	Yesterday we had 70 degrees here in central Texas.
	This morning it was 28, and that was quite a shift.
	We got the typical bells and whistles and warnings from the cable company to the electric company.
	It's going to freeze.
	You never know what could happen.
	But if you look at the aggregate of all the stories that are out there, wouldn't it be beautiful if we could have a Russian cyber attack on Ukraine on the grid?
	We might as well do Texas.
	And we're kind of primed for it.
	Once again, there's story after story about how crappy the Texas grid is here.
	It's from Texas Monthly.
	The Texas electric grid failure was just a warm-up, everybody.
	Yeah.
	Now listen to this.
	Well, this is an incredible development stemming from our storm last February, our winter storm last February.
	Energy Transfer Partners, which sells and moves natural gas throughout the state, sent this letter last week to Luminant, the state's largest power generator, saying it owed them $21 million and that if it didn't pay that money by this Monday, well then, quote, Energy saying it owed them $21 million and that if it didn't pay that money by this Monday, well then, quote, Energy Transfer Partners would be unable to provide offers
	Luminant says that would eliminate power for 400,000 homes on the Texas power grid.
	Today, Luminant, a subsidiary of Vistra, asked the Railroad Commission to get involved, saying Energy Transfer Partners' threat to terminate service in the middle of winter is illegal and grossly irresponsible and should be prohibited by this commission.
	The estimated $21 million Luminant allegedly owes can be traced back to last February Energy Transfer Partners, which, by the way, made $2.4 billion during the storm selling natural gas, says Luminant overordered natural gas supplies after the storm and was charged the 21 mil for not using all of it, leaving it in the lines.
	So none of this will be the story, of course, but it is happening.
	So if they don't have gas and we get another cold snap, just surprising Arctic blast that freezes us up, we won't have it.
	It's a setup.
	It's a setup.
	It's obvious to me.
	It looks like one.
	It's setting up to be a setup, that's for sure.
	Let's learn a new term from Bill Gates.
	This is from one of the multiple Zoom calls that were recorded for the World Economic Forum virtual version 2022.
	And how are we really going to make it from a fossil-based fuel society into a renewable society?
	Where do you see the new real breakthroughs?
	And how are we going to make sure that we set the price on the externalities?
	How do we internalize the externalities that we are currently seeing in the global energy mix?
	Well, the rich countries have to play a central role, both funding R&D and having policies, in some cases carbon taxes will be used to drive the demand for these clean products.
	Ah!
	And only by doing that in an aggressive way will the economic costs be brought down enough that we can turn to all the middle-income countries and say, okay, change your whole cement industry, change your whole steel industry, and yet it's not holding you back.
	From, you know, your economic growth.
	The number of companies working on these things is very exciting.
	And some of them will fail.
	A lot of them will fail.
	But, you know, we only need...
	Notice he does his little tell there about a lot of them will fail.
	The number of companies working on these things is very exciting.
	And some of them will fail.
	A lot of them will fail.
	But we only need a reasonable number, a few dozen of them, to make it through.
	And that's what we have to accelerate.
	I like the clean products meme.
	These are clean products.
	That may be launched.
	Nah.
	I'm not jacked up about it so much.
	Nah.
	When you get one out there, you've got to pay attention to it.
	Clean products, it's a good way to put it.
	And how do you just change your cement industry without...
	He doesn't know what he's doing.
	How does it work?
	Don't you need oil?
	No, you're doing it.
	What do you need?
	You got me started by going, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, throughout the whole clip.
	It's hard to listen to him.
	It's even harder when you're doing, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
	It's even harder to listen to him when you're doing that.
	How do you make cement?
	I don't know.
	I think it does.
	I think it's energy.
	It requires a lot of heat.
	I think you have to...
	Oh, okay.
	I'm not sure.
	We can do that with solar panels.
	That'll be fine.
	It'll work out fine.
	Yeah, mirrors.
	Smoke and mirrors.
	That's how we're going to do it.
	I'll look it up.
	I'll find out what the process is.
	Yeah.
	Oh my goodness.
	Why would he bring that up?
	Why would he throw that in all of a sudden?
	Is he invested in some new fangled version of cement manufacturing?
	Well, he's invested in nuclear.
	That's what it sounds like.
	He's invested in nuclear.
	That's it.
	Well, he's been invested in nuclear for probably 25 years.
	Yeah, but he made some new investments that he announced last year.
	Just in time for the crunch.
	Well, he's having a hard...
	I don't see him doing a very good job of promoting it.
	No, it's not time yet.
	No, no, no, no.
	That'll be 2023.
	It's going to take a while.
	We're not going to wake up, bank holiday, and everything's broken.
	I don't believe that.
	It's going to be a slow boil so we don't figure it out.
	Well, we've already figured it out.
	It's just that nobody else seems to have followed suit.
	Let's see how big tech is doing.
	Big tech is helping the Democrats, in this case, who desperately want to discredit all things Republican, Trump, and they do that through the mechanism known as the January 6th Commission.
	These are photos from a criminal complaint filed in court today.
	It shows Anthony Carollo, his brother Jeremiah, and their cousin Cody Volan allegedly standing in a mob outside the U.S. Capitol.
	And later, inside, walking single file through the Capitol Rotunda.
	We will follow the facts wherever they lead.
	According to the criminal complaint, the FBI identified the three men through Google records that pinged their phones to the Capitol grounds the day of the insurrection.
	Investigators later linked their addresses to photos on social media and their driver's license records.
	The Justice Department remains committed to holding all January 6 perpetrators at any level accountable under law, whether they were present that day or were otherwise criminally responsible for the assault on our democracy.
	There it is.
	There it is.
	Trump tried to block this from happening, claiming executive privilege.
	But the Biden administration supports releasing the records to the committee, saying it's in the nation's best interest.
	Today's arrests bring the number of Illinoisans charged in the Capitol breach to 23%.
	Prosecutors say this is the largest criminal investigation in U.S. history.
	Yeah, for misdemeanors.
	The largest, they're spending all this money on a bunch of misdemeanors.
	This is unbelievable.
	Now, there's this story that's really kind of interesting is the Ray Epps story.
	Yes, yes, because now all of a sudden he's coming to court.
	Yeah, he's going to drag him in there under oath.
	He already came in once, but he wasn't under oath.
	But this is the situation where Ted Cruz kept grilling some FBI guys.
	No, no, the lady.
	The lady with the shitty haircut.
	Oh, that horrible lady with the shitty haircut.
	Let's listen to these two Ray Epps things.
	Let's see if you can catch the little gotcha in here, which I think is like telling the truth with a lie kind of thing.
	This is Ray Epps 1.
	Ray Epps, a man who encouraged protesters to enter the Capitol on January 6th last year, will speak under oath before lawmakers on Friday.
	Some suspect Epps is an FBI informant, but his lawyer denies the accusation.
	Okay.
	What's the little gotcha in this?
	Let me listen again.
	Hold on.
	Oh, FBI.
	FBI informant.
	No, he's an FBI agent provocateur, not an informant.
	He's an FBI agent.
	Yes, not an informant.
	This is what Ted Cruz tried to get out of that crazy woman.
	And she said, I don't know.
	I don't think so.
	I can't tell you because it's under...
	I can't say.
	This is so much a spook, the guy glows in the dark.
	Give me a break.
	Here we go with part two.
	Epps attorney John Bliszczak is a former FBI agent.
	He told the Epoch Times that Epps will meet with the January 6th committee at his law offices.
	A spokesman for the House panel didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
	Epps' lawyer says Epps has already spoken with the committee.
	He added that they were satisfied with Epps' answers, but due to the recent accusations, the panel is placing him under oath.
	Republican senators sought answers about Epps from national security officials last week.
	They asked if Epps was a Fed, but the officials said they couldn't answer.
	Despite being caught on camera encouraging protesters to enter the Capitol, Epps hasn't been charged and was removed from an FBI Most Wanted list.
	Well, now a couple of things.
	He's not going in front of the congressional hearing.
	No, he's not?
	No.
	If you listen to that clip carefully, you would have noticed that he's going to be giving testimony in his lawyer's office.
	Oh, that's not...
	I thought, like, under Zoom or something.
	Well, I mean, that's a possibility.
	It could be under Zoom.
	They have to air it.
	Like that woman did.
	Well, I mean, if the Supreme Court justices don't have to show up, why would he?
	Well, it's only one.
	Only the freak.
	The freak Sotomayor.
	Hmm.
	Well, I can only presume they've got this locked up so there's no embarrassment.
	There's no egg on anybody's face.
	It just seems like this is too good to be true.
	It stinks.
	Yeah, well, it stinks.
	There's got to be some kind of trick.
	Some kind of trick.
	When is he testifying?
	This week, I guess.
	Cool.
	More C-SPAN to watch.
	They're just on a witch hunt to go through Trump's papers.
	They don't expect to find anything in there, but they'll find something.
	They're scared to death that Trump's going to run again.
	Yes, the Trump papers is still about how he valued his properties for tax purposes.
	I mean, and then, you know, so the, maybe the charges, maybe he did fraudulently value those properties.
	Well, you know, if they're going to take Trump down with that, there's a lot of real estate developers who are going to have a big problem.
	It's not going to happen.
	No, of course not.
	They're just trying to embarrass him to get him so he, like, gives up on running again because they're scared to death.
	Well, I hope they don't get too nutty.
	Because they can go quite far with this.
	Even if you're part of the planning, we're going to arrest you and throw you in the brig.
	So there's a strange story I want to get out of the way before we take our break.
	And this is the University of Michigan sex scandal.
	This is not the University of Michigan State sex scandal where they had the doctor who was feeling up all the little gymnasts.
	This is a half a billion dollar settlement for a doctor who is feeling up all the football players.
	What?!
	Yeah.
	The University of Michigan said it would pay $490 million to over a thousand people to resolve claims of sexual assault.
	The thousand-plus claims of sex abuse are against a former sports doctor at the university.
	NTD's Jason Perry has the story.
	After two years of negotiations with attorneys of the sex abuse victims, the University of Michigan has agreed to settle all claims of abuse by the late Dr.
	Robert Anderson.
	The allegations of abuse happened over decades and out of the 1,050 sex abuse claims, the victims were mostly male athletes.
	A report by a firm hired by the school determined that Michigan staff missed many opportunities to stop Anderson over his 37-year career.
	The nearly half a billion dollar payout is pending approval by the school's Board of Regents and the courts, and $30 million will be placed in a reserve for unidentified victims who may come forward before July 31, 2023.
	Jordan Acker, the chair of the Board of Regents, said in a statement that he hopes the settlement will begin the healing process for the survivors.
	Anderson was a physician for the Michigan football team and other athletic programs at the university where he worked from 1966 until his retirement in 2003.
	He died in 2008.
	Parker Stenar, a lawyer representing some 200 claimants in the University of Michigan settlement, said he hoped the case would bring awareness of male survivors of sexual abuse because they are often viewed less sympathetically by society and can be reluctant to come forward.
	So that's, what, $300,000, $400,000 per person?
	Well, you've got 1,000 people.
	Yeah, you can kind of do the math, but it's maybe more.
	It's a lot.
	Now, is this...
	It's almost, yeah, it's probably $300,000.
	So did we miss this whole thing?
	I mean, all of the...
	There's got to be other people, other people who were guilty, who knew it was going on, and there's no other...
	Yeah, it's a scandal.
	It's a huge scandal.
	What the hell was this guy doing to these guys?
	Hey, just bend over.
	I got to do a check here.
	This reminds me, you know, I used to be the joke editor, believe it or not, of the California Pelican, University of California Humor Magazine.
	And this reminds me of a joke that I put in the magazine, which I don't know, it was basically a job where you steal jokes from other humor magazines, other college humor magazines.
	Oh, did Amy Schumer have this position as well at one point?
	It was probably.
	It was a joke-stealing job, but it was just all collegiate kind of humor.
	And there's this one joke which reminds me of this case.
	Okay, the joke goes something like this.
	A guy is having the, he's got hemorrhoids and he's at the doctor's and he's having the glass rod treatment for the hemorrhoids and it's costing him $200 a treatment.
	He's got to do it a couple times a week.
	And he's adding up.
	He's getting kind of sick of it.
	And he says, Doc, is there any way that I can...
	This is costing me too much money.
	Can any way I can do this at home or is there something else that we can be done here?
	And he says, yeah, well, okay.
	The doctor reluctantly says, yeah, but the glass rod's kind of expensive.
	It's a thousand bucks.
	Believe me, that'll save me money.
	So he sells him the glass rod and takes it home to his wife and can have her do the treatment.
	And he says, honey, I admit you're going to have to do the glass rod treatment for my hemorrhoids and He says, OK, what do you want?
	He says, OK, well, the first thing you do is you get the glass rod out.
	And he says, you put your right hand on my right shoulder and your left hand on my left shoulder.
	And why that son of a bitch?
	I'm going to show myself all by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on the agenda In the morning So we do have a few people to thank for the show.
	By the way, that's how a morning zoo rolls, okay?
	We hit the jingle on the punchline, everybody.
	Oh, yeah.
	Rock and roll.
	$14.18 is the show number, and $444 is the amount from Greg Hartlob in Cincinnati, Ohio.
	That's followed by Theodora Dorinda Ongena, I think.
	Anyway, she's in Austria.
	Let me try it.
	Theodora Dorinda Ongena.
	Doesn't sound right.

	We're not quite sure.

	and thank you again for supporting the No Agenda Show.
	No Agenda Meetups!
	Well, the party is on.
	We talked about it earlier, but these no agenda meetups, the community, that's really what it is.
	I've figured it all out.
	That's why it doesn't matter where you come from, what you look like, how old you are, race, religion, sexuality, anything.
	It doesn't matter.
	It's about the community.
	And that's what people are looking for.
	They need it more than ever.
	And I'm sad that I couldn't go to the meat shoot, which was in Austin, graced by one of our council members from the city of Austin.
	Here's Baron Scott's report.
	Hi, this is Black Baron Scott of the No Attent Armory from Local 512 on a cold and extremely windy day for the 2022 meat shoot.
	Hi, this is Christine, Scott's wife.
	I'm not a dame or anything like that, but I'm always here to provide my support for these fun meetups and in the morning.
	This is producer Eric Wynn from Dallas, Texas.
	Had a great meetup here in the morning.
	Doug from San Antonio.
	My first meetup.
	Hopefully not the last.
	Hi, it's Karen from Houston.
	I'm here in the morning for the meetup.
	They had a great time today.
	Hey, this is Trinidad.
	I had a great meetup where I got to shoot someone shooting a.50 caliber.
	Woo!
	In the morning.
	Had a blast of a time with the crew and, you know, nothing wrong with shooting a.50 cal.
	This is Brendan from Local 512.
	This is my first time ever shooting a gun.
	Thanks, No Agenda.
	In the morning.
	Representing San Antonio, Texas, in the morning.
	In the morning, it was a good time, had by all.
	Lots of lead was sent downrange.
	In the morning, shooting a.50 cal is awesome.
	This is Anne.
	This is the less attractive half of the lesbian couple, sir, to be determined.
	In the morning.
	In the morning, this is the other half, Rachel.
	It'll be a cold day in hell before another Austin City Council member shoots a.50 caliber at a gun range, so we should have been here.
	There was meat and there was chute.
	It was a great meat chute.
	50 cal!
	Now I'm really sad that I missed that.
	So the city councilwoman, was it a rifle or a pistol or like a fireball Russian gun or something?
	It must have been a long rifle.
	It must have been.
	Well, it probably has a kick.
	And I'm sure that the councilwoman didn't appreciate it.
	No, I think she seems like she's kind of into that.
	She said it'd be a long day in hell before it happens again, she said.
	Right.
	Because everyone else on the city council of Austin is afraid of guns.
	They're in Texas.
	No.
	It's gun country.
	Correction.
	Correction.
	They're in Austin.
	They are not officially in the state of Texas.
	Dallas, however, is in the state of Texas.
	And Tom Starkweather, who we hung out with when we were up there, along with...
	Alex, we're there to report.
	I am here in Dallas, Texas.
	My name is Tom Starkweather, and I'm here with...
	Alex, and we're here, first time in Texas.
	This is Deep Elm Army Day.
	In the morning, gents, this is Coco from Plano.
	I want to give a shout-out to a sexy Sooner sailor who hit me in the mouth four months ago, and also I hit this guy in the mouth.
	Hi, this is Michael from Dallas, and let's go Brandon!
	This is Daniel from Gladewater.
	Fauci lied, people died.
	This is Robbie from Gladewater.
	Go Cowboys!
	This is Colin and Brittany from Dallas, where the PBR is cold and the mac and cheese is no good.
	This is Eric Schultz, and I think we've spotted the spook.
	In the morning, Gipo Nation, it's the yet-to-be-indicted Dame G money.
	Toast, toast, test, test, Chris Burr.
	In the morning, John and Adam, this is Jay and Adriano.
	We are not the spooks.
	I hate this part of the show.
	I like it.
	These are a lot of people at these meetups.
	This is really good.
	I'm so excited to see this happening every time.
	North Idaho, the Sanity Brigade meetup.
	Hey there, Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	It's Scott the Shapeshifting Jew bringing you another North Idaho Sanity Brigade meetup report.
	This one at the Selkirk Abbey in Post Falls, Idaho.
	When you guys played the last meetup report, John was musing about how dangerous Idaho is.
	I did want to confirm that there were no less than three groups of goose-stepping white supremacists marching through the parking lot during our time at the taproom.
	So in between sips of Belgian beer, we were dodging bullets and avoiding the gazes of teenagers in army fatigues with shaved heads.
	It was a really good turnout, and despite the danger, I think everybody had a great time.
	We're going to do a meet-up report.
	Okay, great.
	This is the audio.
	Love it.
	This is Jason from Elf, Washington, where Jay Inslee doesn't know he exists.
	In the morning.
	Idaho's not dangerous in all places.
	Claude from Spokane, Washington.
	Jared, I don't hear you at any meet-ups.
	Let's go.
	You don't want to say anything?
	I will, but not.
	Oh, we spotted the spook.
	And he's a knight.
	With those government salaries, they have a lot to contribute, you know what I mean?
	Allison from Coeur d'Alene, protect the children.
	In the morning, slaves.
	This is David at Selkirk Abbey, enjoying some Belgian beers.
	Enjoy the clown world.
	Brad from Rathrum, in the morning.
	In the morning.

	I thought you were on it.
	Yeah, the meetups, man.
	That's our legacy right there, John.
	We'll be long dead and people still be drinking beer and say, why do we do this again?
	What is no agenda?
	What is that no agenda stuff we're doing?
	Let me see if I got some ISOs.
	Really, I have nothing good today.
	Come on, you got something.
	I got that one.
	I'm scared of science!
	And that's all I got.
	Yeah, it's what I got.
	I got one.
	One and one only, which I think may win, which is the woe Biden.
	Whoa, whoa!
	Hang on, guys!
	Yeah, that's the one.
	Hello!
	How could you even question that one?
	Beautiful.
	What else we got on here?
	This is an old one I've been carrying with me for a while, Clip.
	And this is about the 3D printed house on NPR. Short clip, it's only 26 seconds, but there was a little thing in there that just kind of irked me when I heard it.
	Building a house can be expensive and time-consuming, so why build a house when you can print one?
	Well, that is exactly what Habitat for Humanity is doing.
	This is the first 3D printed, owner-occupied Habitat home in the nation.
	That's Janet Green, CEO of the Habitat for Humanity chapter in Williamsburg, Virginia.
	She presented the inaugural 3D house at a ceremony to a very grateful mom and her 13-year-old.
	Yeah, I have some info on this, maybe.
	What's the irksome part?
	This is not the very first printed 3D house, but the way they couched it all.
	Yeah, I heard it.
	It's the very first 3D printed house by them.
	No, no, wait.
	It was even longer than that.
	The very first 3D printed house owner-occupied Habitat for Humanity house.
	That came at the very end.
	Yeah, it's a bullcrap hype.
	Yeah, they've been printing 3D houses for years.
	Yes.
	This is basically a cement printer.
	Well, I saw it in action at Community First Village.
	Oh, they had a printer there?
	Oh, this was years ago when I went to visit them, so Habitat for Humanity.
	Oh, that can't be.
	This is the first one.
	Yes, I think not.
	And it was kind of weird because...
	It's like Play-Doh, the way it worked.
	I don't know.
	I haven't seen these.
	Yeah, this habitat looks the same.
	It's exactly the same.
	So it does these layers.
	So you have the foundation, which is cement, and then there's, in essence, a blueprint of the walls, and it just does the walls.
	It doesn't do the roof.
	It doesn't do, well, some, I think, you know, there's internal walls it does, obviously, but it doesn't do doors.
	So you have a structure.
	It's kind of like replacing drywall and wood.
	It's less impressive than you'd think it is when you see it.
	It's an automated mud hut.
	It's an automated mud flapper.
	It is.
	It's like an Adobe.
	It has a real Adobe kind of look to it.
	Yeah.
	Is it Adobe or Adobe?
	No, Adobe.
	Adobe, right?
	Yes, Adobe.
	It's Adobe.
	Adobe.
	Adobe.
	I don't know.
	I'm Adobe.
	Let's go with it.
	Okay, I got really one other stupid clip, which is the weird...
	This is a clip on NPR I heard, and this is the beginning of a 15-minute report, and I clipped in a minute 28, and it's the way they're trying to couch overdoses on NPR. So the overdose problem in the United States, which is just horrendous, they're trying to couch it as some sort of a good thing.
	It's a story that is heard and felt in every corner of the country.
	And contrary to what you may think, there is some positive news on it.
	The CDC is sounding the alarm about a record number of deaths in America from drug overdoses.
	But we're going to start with the more concerning news.
	Federal data released last week showed that more than 101,000 Americans had died of drug overdoses in a 12-month period.
	That was another record number.
	It translates to about one American dying from a drug overdose every five minutes.
	Fatal overdoses are at a record high in New York and nationally.
	And that is fueled by a few things.
	First of all, the pandemic.
	Alarming numbers out of Cook County show...
	Which has disrupted treatment programs.
	New numbers from King County show the record-setting depth of the...
	Methamphetamine use is also up.
	Knox County is on pace to set an all-time high in suspected deadly overdose.
	And the deadly opioid fentanyl is more prevalent than ever.
	And we've already had more overdose deaths in East Baton Rouge Parish than any other year.
	But the numbers can make this story feel abstract.
	21% in Maryland.
	And hopeless.
	Virginia reaching a 36% jump in cases.
	Yet, there is another story that we don't hear as often.
	A story that ends not with overdose and death, but with recovery and life after addiction.
	And like other areas of healthcare, there's massive disparities.
	What is all that?
	Yeah.
	It's so bad that it blew your connection out.
	That's really bad.
	I don't know what the point of it was, but it's trying to make...
	There's hope.
	It's called filling airtime is what it is.
	There's hope.
	Well, they filled a lot of airtime.
	They had musical beds later in it.
	But there's hope.
	There's hope.
	Coming up next on NoAgendaStream.com, our big dumb mouth.
	That'll be episode 971.
	And Hog Story joins the regular No Agenda live stream.
	No Agenda Gitmo Nation.
	I can't even remember now.
	Trollroom.io.
	There you go.
	At their regular schedule, 7 o'clock Central Standard Time.
	Coming up.
	Yes.
	Coming up, we've got two, but they're long.
	I think worth it.
	End of show mix is Tom Starkweather, who compressed Biden for us.
	And Sir Alf comes in with a mass formation ditty, you will like.
	Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No.
	6 in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I'm not Bernie Sanders either, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We return on Sunday.
	Please join us for another...
	Jam-packed deconstruction of the mainstream media.
	Until then, remember us at dvorak.org slash na and adios mofos and such.
	Good afternoon, everyone.
	Omicron has now been challenging us in a way that it's the new enemy.
	But while it's cause for concern, it's not cause for panic.
	We're preparing for a future beyond the pandemic.
	We're going to stick with our vaccination efforts because vaccinations work.
	Some people may call what's happening now the new normal.
	I call it a job not yet finished.
	If price increases are what you're worried about, The best answer is my Build Back Better plan.
	Look, I'm a capitalist.
	I'm happy to take questions.
	So I tell my Republican friends, here I come.
	This is going to be about what are you for?
	What are you for?
	And lay out what we're for.
	But so far, that strategy isn't working.
	You haven't been able to get some of these big legislative ticket items done.
	I got two real big ones done.
	Bigger than any president has ever gotten in the first year.
	But currently, Mr.
	President...
	Your spending package, voting rights legislation, they're not going anywhere.
	That's true.
	Look, Mitt Romney's a straight guy.
	But if they actually do what they're capable of doing with the force amassed on the border, it is going to be a disaster for Russia.
	I've already shipped over $600 million worth of sophisticated equipment, defensive equipment.
	If they invade, they're going to pay.
	Their banks will not be able to deal in dollars.
	So there's a lot that's going to happen.
	But here's the thing.
	Get your booster shot.
	Everybody, get the booster shot.
	You're protected very well with two shots.
	If it's the Pfizer, anyway, you're protected.
	I'm going to get out of this place more often.
	I'm going to go out and talk to the public.
	I'm going to do public fora.
	I'm going to interface with them.
	I'm going to make the case of what we've already done, why it's important, and what we'll do, what will happen if they support what else I want to do.
	How many more hours am I doing this?
	I'm happy to stick around.
	You guys have been trying to convince me that I am Bernie Sanders.
	I'm not.
	I like him, but I'm not Bernie Sanders.
	I'm not a socialist.
	No, I didn't say that.
	Look what I said.
	Go back and read what I said.
	And tell me.
	That is an interesting reading of English.
	I assume you got into journalism because you like to write.
	Okay.
	Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
	Hang on, guys.
	How long are you guys ready to go?
	You want to go for another hour or two?
	If you may ask me easy questions, I'll give you quick answers.
	Maybe I'm kidding myself.
	Well, first of all, the message is, to the extent they've been confusing, it's because the scientists are learning more.
	Folks, it is now almost six minutes.
	With all due respect, I'm going to see you in next conference.
	You are a party.
	You are a party.
	He come all COVID.
	He come in waves and surges.
	He got boo hot bath meat.
	He won spacky butter.
