How about that?
I love it.
Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
It's Thursday, January 27th, 2022.
This is your award-winning Get My Nation Media assassination episode 1420.
This is no agenda.
Touching the monkey and broadcasting live from the heart of Texas Hill Country here in FEMA, region number six.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where all Californians are rooting for Maxine Waters to become the next Supreme Court justice, I'm John C. DuBois.
Really now?
Wait, wait, wait.
Okay, we have to explain this.
We have a Supreme Court justice retiring in the United States.
That's always, always a political hot potato.
That's when we all go crazy because, you know, it's so important, the Supreme Court.
Not political at all.
And, of course, immediately, the conspiracy therapist in me says, aha, the Kamala exit VP to SCOTUS is back in play.
Yes, I actually have a clip that makes this close.
Okay, I want to hear this.
I mean, they've already put out their list of potential candidates, and I don't think Ms.
Harris is on the list.
Well, this doesn't mean that she won't get picked.
Yeah, sure.
Okay, let's play this clip.
Which one is it?
Oh, Scotus Kamala?
Yeah.
So this person has to be a woman, she has to be black, and she's got to be younger.
Anybody thinking what I'm thinking?
They don't know what to do with Kamala Harris in the White House right now.
I can't be the only person seeing this.
Where is this from?
Sorry, didn't know you were going to the bathroom.
Hello?
Ask later.
I didn't know.
It's from Fox.
Is this Frau Ingraham?
Is that who I'm here?
No, no, this is the called, what's that show called where they have all these women and one guy?
Oh, outnumbered.
Overrated.
And you have read, I'm sure you have, Kayleigh, because you and I have chatted about it.
We've been reading that maybe something like this could happen with the vice president.
He runs again at someone else.
Look, I prefer to drink my tea rather than read the tea leaves.
But when Jonathan Turley puts out the information of young, black, and female, it's hard not to see at least she makes the list.
Kayleigh?
I think you're right.
I'm glad you said that, Harris, because that was playing in my mind from the moment we heard about this retirement.
You know, it is, politically speaking, if you are not happy with your vice president and you want her in a different role, there's no greater role than on the Supreme Court.
It's a role that anyone would be honored to have.
Again, you know, I would just note there's no reporting to this end at the moment, so this is just speculation.
But it's widely known, there is a ton of reporting, Harris, as we've covered here on the show, that people are not quite happy with Kamala Harris, both in the West Wing, outside of the West Wing, Democrat operatives.
So it's a possibility.
I think she's at least on the short list, and maybe it's a position she'd readily want to consider or accept, given the comment, given the challenges of the vice presidency, given the frustration she's incurred.
I think it's a theory that could be credible.
Even I don't buy this.
You're the one that's been pushing it.
No, I said this is what I'm hearing, and I'm not pushing it.
You're pushing it like a drug dealer.
Yeah, okay.
All right, gloves are off, Dvorak, and we're just getting started.
We're on these clips, we're on these clips.
Well, let me just say something.
Just to complete the theory, the theory is Kamala becomes Supreme Court Justice as a black woman, And then we have Hillary who slides into the VP slot.
Oh, that's right.
That's the part you're missing.
Sorry, I keep forgetting about that horror.
You missed that part.
Let's look at these.
Well, I don't know what you have, but there's a couple of names if you want to go through them, or do you have more clips that get into this?
Well, actually, I have the one.
I've got my predictions already.
Yeah, you always have predictions for these things.
Well, let's back up.
And mention to the newbies that listen to this show that we are unbelievably good at this.
You in particular are good at picking popes.
If you want a pope, Adam's your man.
That poll pick of yours was not non-trivial.
It was out of left field and nailed it.
Yes, well, thank you.
I appreciate that.
I'm good at picking vice president candidates and also presidents.
I'd say I was on the Biden thing before when he was still failing.
And Supreme Court justices, I'm pretty sure, like Amy Comey Barrett was pretty much brought up by the two of us.
Yeah, I think you pushed it more than, yeah, I think you had her on the list.
I have, the one I'm picking is, we'll talk about that, but let's just do the little intro here, because this is very important, only happens once in a while.
But let's play these two clips.
This is next Supreme Court Justice of the United States.
President Biden's first group of judicial nominees, among them is Ketanji Brown-Jackson, already a hot prospect for nomination to the Supreme Court should a vacancy arise.
NPR legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg has this profile.
If confirmed, Jackson would take the appeal...
Okay, wait, stop, stop.
I have to set...
I didn't realize I forgot which clip this was, but I had to set it up.
This was way before...
This is my pick, by the way, is Jackson.
There's three women, major women in play.
One of them is Not Black Enough...
One is too black.
This is how you do it.
And one's in the middle.
Yeah, this is the secret to getting these things.
It has nothing to do with competency, with meritocracy.
Curiously, this woman is the most competent.
Oh, there you go.
Okay.
A couple of Harvard things going on.
She's personable.
She's kind of funny.
Do you have to be a lawyer or a judge to become a Supreme Court justice?
One of the women is this Supreme Court justice from the state of California Supreme Court.
And she's high in the rankings, but she's not black enough.
That's Leandra Kruger.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, Leander.
She's not black enough, and she's Jewish.
She's already got enough Jews on this report.
Yeah, yeah, no, that won't work.
Yeah, black Jewish, it's always kind of weird.
Just so you know, I got another report yesterday from another corporation, and there were people on the phone call talking about which vendor to hire for a particular task.
And, lo and behold, in the meeting, no, we can't take that company because there's too many white people who work there.
Do you have a tape of this?
Oh, God, do I wish.
Do I wish?
No.
But I'm just pointing out that that's, you know, so the same criteria have to apply.
That's how we're operating as we speak at the moment.
Yep, yep, yep.
And she doesn't look black at all, actually, at least in modern sense.
She has to be bipod.
She didn't work in the courts or anything.
They pushed her right up to a Supreme Court justice in the state of California.
No, you don't.
And Earl Warren, I think, who may have been a lawyer when he became the chief justice, he was the governor of California.
And they just gave him, now you're this.
No, you don't.
They could pick you.
Oh my goodness.
This is a great idea.
Exit strategy.
Get a cool dress and everything.
Hey, is Sherilyn Ifill, is she Gwen Ifill's sister?
I was looking, since I'd already written her off as a possibility.
Yes, Gwen.
Her cousin.
I thought the same thing.
Or daughter maybe.
Cousin.
No cousin.
I'm looking it up on the book of knowledge.
Cousin.
Okay, well.
So she's also shortlisted.
Yeah, and Gwen Ifill was on a stamp.
Okay.
So it might be politically correct to pick her.
Well, I think Sherilyn Ifill is definitely black enough, if that's what we're going for.
If that's what we're going for.
I don't believe it.
The problem with Campbell, although it kind of creates a screwball balance on the court, Campbell's married to a white guy.
Oh, problematic.
Not necessarily.
That might be good because Clarence Thomas is married to a white woman.
Yeah, but we dealt with his ass a long time ago.
Yes.
We lynched him a long time ago.
That's what happened there.
Now, this clip that we're playing is a previous...
Bio of this woman done by Nina Totenberg, who's got her, you know, she's important.
When she was becoming a justice in one of the courts, one of the federal courts, and there's a very fawning thing.
You hear...
I'm more up-to-date one in part two, but let's go back to next, Skajas, part one.
President Biden's first group of judicial nominees, among them is Ketanji Brown-Jackson, already a hot prospect for nomination to the Supreme Court should a vacancy arise.
NPR legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg has this profile.
If confirmed, Jackson would take the appeals court seat previously held by Judge Merrick Garland prior to his becoming Attorney General.
She's served as a federal trial judge since 2013 and was on President Obama's Supreme Court shortlist.
Back then, she was a long shot.
Not anymore.
President Biden has pledged that he would name an African American woman to the court if there's a vacancy.
Oh, stop.
Not true.
Not true.
Fake news.
He said he would nominate a black woman.
He never said African American.
I'm just pointing it out.
Not anymore.
President Biden has pledged that he would name an African American woman to the court if there's a vacancy, and the 50-year-old judge ticks off just about every box that liberals might want in a nominee and some that conservatives might want, too.
Raised in Miami, she graduated with honors from Harvard College and law school, then clerked for three federal judges, including Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, now 82, who's the most likely member of the high court to step down, though he's given no public indication that he plans to do so. though he's given no public indication that he plans to Jackson's parents were both public school teachers until her father became a lawyer and her mother eventually a school principal.
Her parents picked her name from a list of African names sent to her by an aunt in the Peace Corps.
It means lovely one.
She met her husband Patrick while at Harvard.
At first blush, the pair seem an improbable couple, as she put it in a 2017 speech at the University of Georgia.
It's interesting because my husband Patrick is the quintessential Boston Brahmin.
By contrast, I am only the second generation of my family to go to any college, and I'm fairly certain that if you traced my family back past my grandparents, who were raised in Georgia, by the way, you would find that my ancestors were slaves on both sides.
Those who know the couple remember that they were smitten from the start.
Dr. Patrick Jackson, a star surgeon in his own right, is the first to toot his wife's horn, and there's a lot to toot about.
After her clerkships, she went on to a diverse series of jobs as a public defender, representing the indigent in criminal cases, as a litigator and appellate lawyer in private practice, and she served as vice chairman of the U.S. Sentencing Commission at a time when the commission sought to reduce the draconian and she served as vice chairman of the U.S. Sentencing Commission at a time when the commission sought to reduce Wow, a really boring report, but interesting that they did that horn tooting in there.
It felt kind of out of place.
He's tooting his own horn.
It felt a little bit kind of diminished, you know, diminutive, I guess.
I don't know.
That's just me.
I'm sensitive.
Here's the second part of this, and this is where they, now everything's brought up to date.
That was an older report, obviously, because it was before Breyer did anything, let alone be told he has to quit.
Hey, buddy, you're out.
You're done.
Done.
There she earned a reputation for building consensus, and most of the panel's decisions were unanimous.
For Jackson, though, sentencing is not an abstract matter.
When she was in high school, her uncle was sentenced to life in prison under a three-strikes law for a low-level drug crime.
He was granted clemency after serving 30 years.
In that Georgia speech, she said that being a federal judge was her dream job.
But after President Obama nominated her in 2012, actually getting that job depended entirely on events beyond her control, namely Obama's re-election.
And when you add to this fact that I am related by marriage to House Speaker Paul Ryan, who was at that point running for Vice President against President Obama, you can get the sense of what that period of time was like for me.
Once confirmed, Jackson quickly became known for working long hours, for a vivid writing style, and her infectious, raucous laugh.
Her sense of humor about life was on full display in that Georgia speech in talking about the whiplash she experiences between her two roles, one as a judge and the other as the mother of two teenage daughters.
I am a federal judge, which means people generally treat me with respect.
But in the evenings...
When I leave the courthouse and go home, all of my wisdom and knowledge and authority evaporates.
My daughters make it very clear that as far as they're concerned, I know nothing.
I should not tell them anything, much less give them any orders.
That is, if they talk to me at all.
Yeah.
How old is she?
She sounds pretty young.
She was born in 70, I think.
Ooh, okay.
She's in her 40s now?
And one of the other women was born in 66.
She's four years older.
I think the main other candidate, which is the...
I don't have the names in front of me.
Sorry, I should have written them down.
But I'm just discarding the California Supreme Court woman who is not black enough.
Kruger.
Kruger.
Yeah, then the other one is four years older, and I think they want to get as young as they can get in, because they want to stay in there forever.
Well, from the central casting point of view, I mean, the name is perfect.
Ketanji Brown Jackson.
Hello!
Yeah, isn't it?
It's got all of it.
It's got...
It's got all of it.
It's got the word brown in it.
It's got Jackson.
Yeah, and Ketanji.
Ketanji, a nice African part.
Yeah, it's beautiful.
And I think that the liberals like the idea of a mixed marriage, so I think they like the fact that she's married to a white guy.
Personally, I think that's the way liberals think, because it's just like, oh, well...
Because they're racist, most of them.
Of course they're racist.
And having once been a liberal myself most of my life, I can be as racist as the next person when making these analyses.
Do we know anything about her track record?
Were there any controversies in her rulings as a federal judge?
There hasn't been any that have cropped up, but believe me, they will.
Although I think she's personable.
She's cute.
She writes long, long, long...
Love notes?
Opinions?
She was on the wrong side of some decision and she wrote 118 pages anyway.
Opinion?
Opinions?
Or dissent?
I have one ironic...
A data point.
She specializes in white-collar crime defense...
And negotiating settlements of mass tort claims.
That seems to be the specialty she's been involved in in her assistant special counsel career.
Perfect.
Right?
We've got a bunch of white-collar criminals out there worried sick.
Yeah.
On both sides of the aisle.
Excellent.
Excellent, yes.
Now, this is a funny little clip.
This is Jonathan Turley who was on one of the Fox shows.
I like him.
Turley seems like a pretty decent guy.
Yeah, now that you mention it, I think you're right.
I've only seen him a couple of times.
I don't watch Fox that much, but I just happen to catch these things.
And this is Jonathan Turley's discrimination discussion about this.
It's just an ironic clip I thought I'd throw in.
Now, what happens from here is going to get rather interest.
We know that President Biden has already pledged that he will only consider an African-American woman for the court.
And when he made that pledge, I wrote a column at the Times saying that's a rather curious pledge to make on a court that wouldn't allow that type of approach for college admissions.
Exactly.
But when it comes to admissions on this court, you're saying that you won't consider anyone who is male or who is not African-American.
And so that's going to come up again very quickly.
And the irony is the Supreme Court just accepted two cases on the use of race preferences in college admissions.
And so this is obviously going to come up where the president's going to have to decide if he intends to fulfill a pledge that the court would never allow if he was actually admitting someone to a college.
Good point.
And what a bunch of newbies to not even throw a token Asian or white person on that list.
That's dumb.
Well, I don't think so, because Biden, when he says something like that, he follows through.
He did that with Kamala.
Oh, no, I understand.
But from the legal aspect, the first questions that are going to be asked in the confirmation hearing is, do you think that this is constitutional?
No, no, yeah.
No, it's embarrassing.
Yeah, it's very embarrassing.
And what should have, of course, taken place is that Biden should...
See, Biden was...
When he made this pledge, he was just pandering.
He was pandering to the black vote.
Now it's like, okay, got to come through now.
He has to absolutely come through, and he will.
And it would be this woman.
I'm predicting it.
I don't see anybody who's better.
I like that choice, too.
Yeah.
And she's kind of funny, which is cute.
And she could hold her own with these other justices because they're all a little bit outspoken and egomaniacal.
But...
Instead of just following up with this, he said, well, we're going to look at all comers, you know, my preference is this, and then pick her anyway.
Could have faked it a little bit.
I mean, you know, there's no subtlety at all with Biden or this sort of thing.
I mean, Kamala Harris?
I mean, give me a play.
Is this young Miss Jackson, is she a World Economic Forum Young Global Leaders member, by any chance?
Because that would just be perfect.
Now I'm looking now.
You cornered me.
I don't see it.
You screwed me.
I should actually have that right at the tip of my list, but no.
I don't think she is.
No, I'm looking now.
I don't see her on any lists.
Yet.
Yet.
Yet's the key word.
Alright.
There's your pick.
Hey, Canada.
Holy crap, Canada.
I'm very excited for y'all.
I'm very excited to see Canada getting up off of the couch.
And not complaining, but doing something.
No.
Huh?
It's impossible for them not to complain.
Well, no, but there's action now.
And it stems from what I think was just one of the most horrible speeches Trudeau made.
And here's an excerpt from it.
We know the way through this pandemic...
Is by getting everyone vaccinated.
And the overwhelming majority, close to 90% of Canadians have done exactly that.
The small fringe minority of people who are on their way to Ottawa or who are holding unacceptable views that they're expressing.
Do not represent the views of Canadians who have been there for each other, who know that following the science and stepping up to protect each other is the best way to continue to ensure our freedoms, our rights, our values as a country.
Well, this pissed off a lot of Canadians.
I bet it did.
Can I say something before you continue with this?
Yeah, sure, sure, sure.
His little lisp is really getting on my nerves.
Mm-hmm.
He says science.
It's not a strong lisp.
It's just a little subtle screw you lisp.
Hold on a second.
Now I want to hear this lisp.
Let's see.
Do not represent.
The views of Canadians who have been there for each other, who know that following the science...
Science?
Science.
You know, following the science just so implies that it's religion, you know.
Follow Jesus Christ.
Oh, no.
Follow the science.
Totally.
Because there's no following in science.
You can't follow science.
You can't follow science.
Science is a methodology.
Yes, does science have an Instagram account?
Can I follow them on Instagram, science?
Science.
Does someone have at science?
That would be kind of cool.
Follow me.
Follow me at science on Instagram.
Follow me at science.
That's a really good evidence that's been done.
I'm sure.
Sure.
Long gone.
So we have this caravan under the Truck You Trudeau banner, which I like a lot.
I like truck.
That's their version of it.
Some of these videos are great.
Oh, yeah.
And it's not just a couple of people.
This is reasonably big, and they're breaking all kinds of regulations and rules and laws.
And, of course, the truckers are not shipping food.
So this is now, what, the third or fourth day?
It's going to start getting pretty interesting.
And you have other members of the service citizenry standing with the truckers.
Here's a Canadian cop.
Hey there.
So I'm Constable Erin Howard, coming to you from Ontario, Canada.
I really wanted to give a shout out to all the truckers.
I think what you guys are doing is incredible.
You're fighting for our rights and freedoms, and right now it feels like we're a little bit at war and those rights and freedoms are at stake.
So you guys are honestly true heroes.
What you're doing is just incredible.
I will be in Ottawa when you guys roll in.
I'm going to be speaking on behalf of Police on Guard and we are thrilled.
Hey, let's game this out a second.
There's only two ways it can go.
And do you think it's possible, possible, that the Canadian authorities could just beat these people?
Yeah, I mean, seriously.
Listen to what Trudeau was saying.
Listen to how far he is on all in, and these people are degenerates, pretty much.
And, I mean, so what do you do as a leader?
What do you do with 50,000 people who may show up?
He should apologize is what he should do.
Yeah, I know what he should do, but let's just play it out from a New World Order, young global leader perspective, because he is a young global leader.
What do you think?
Well, first of all, it's not going to be televised.
Job one is to not put any of this on television.
They've done a pretty good job.
So far, so good.
Yeah, I mean, you see the...
The clips I've seen have all been on, you know...
Yeah, Twitter, YouTube, exactly.
Twitter, YouTube, yeah.
Listen to how crazy it is, the stuff that's going on with these mandates in Canada.
Today, big box stores that have a footprint of 1,500 square meters or more are going to have to ask people, customers, to show proof of vaccination.
Now, pharmacies and grocery will be exempt from this, so if you're going into a Like a Costco or Walmart or something like that where you might be going in to buy groceries or visit the pharmacy.
In that case, an employee will have to be with that person as they walk through the store to make sure that they do not go and buy other products or other items that might be in the store.
How about that?
I love it.
If I was a Canadian troublemaker...
Whether vaccinated or not, I would say, no, not vaccinated, and then make them drag you around the store, you know, with the guy following you around.
You're wasting personnel time.
I mean, Walmart's not overstaffed.
But you're not allowed to go to certain areas of the store.
But you can go to the grocery part.
Yeah.
But it's dumb.
No, no, it's not dumb.
I mean, this is inexcusable.
Well, this is not just happening in Canada, by the way.
That's happening everywhere.
Austria.
Did you see Germany?
Ha!
Headline.
Oppressive COVID measures for the unvaccinated were based on software glitch, claims German minister.
So it turns out that now that they've looked into all these numbers about how many people had cases and who was or wasn't vaccinated, they didn't actually have any of the numbers.
They didn't have the data.
They just threw some stuff together and it popped out and it came out with, ah, we should lock people down and treat them like degenerates.
And now they're trying to get out of it by saying, well, it was a software issue.
The numbers popped out wrong.
Sorry about that.
Yeah, it happens all the time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, but not so in New Zealand.
Jacinda, Jacinda's back on the block.
Well, as Omicron breaches New Zealand borders, PM Jacinda Ardern...
How is it possible?
How can Omicron breach New Zealand's borders?
You can't go in or out.
No, it's surrounded by water.
It's magic!
Well, as Omicron breaches New Zealand borders, PM Jacinda Ardern has moved the country to a red COVID alert level.
Harsh new restrictions could see household close contacts isolating for 24 days.
My wedding will not be going ahead, but I just join many other New Zealanders who have had an experience like that as a result of the pandemic.
And to anyone who's caught up in that scenario, I'm so sorry.
She's not read in.
There's a couple people who I don't think are read in on...
You know, we saw the switch.
We saw the switch with Boris Johnson.
He threw the switch.
Whether that's for it to save his own hide or not, there's too many powerful factions to...
For them not to stop it.
And it's today.
Today is all over.
Everything's done.
Do whatever you want in the UK. We're good to go.
Ireland.
I think it's in the Baltic states, I think.
But it's starting to open up.
But not everyone is on board or has the message or they're captured by pharma.
I'm not quite sure what's happening.
But this is supposed to be over.
They're supposed to end it.
And Jacinda threatening another 24-day lockdown.
What?
That doesn't make sense.
Don't you think that the bugle call has been given?
The retreat?
It's like, okay, we're pulling back.
We've got to evaluate.
We've got to do all the things.
I can take another side on this.
I'll say it's possible it's a whipsaw.
It's designed to show that shutting it down doesn't work.
And the next thing you know, we're going to have a horrible uptick in Great Britain because of this crazy Boris Johnson pulling this stunt.
It was unapproved.
I would like to take a little bit of show credit here for a moment for correctly identifying the bullcrap monkey story, which got legs.
Did you see that?
Well, you didn't respond to my analysis of the possibility that Boris is a red herring.
No, I did.
Oh.
No, but I responded by saying, here's the next thing.
The bullcrap monkey?
Yeah, the bullcrap monkey story.
The lady now has symptoms.
Oh yeah, I saw that.
Yeah, sure.
I believe that.
That's what I'm talking about.
It's like, yes, Boris could be a red herring and then we let our guard down and then the monkey pox got us.
Or, wait, I'm sorry, we have something new.
Where is it?
Here it is.
Here it is.
The COVID variant is on the rise.
International health officials are examining a new variant, which has already been detected in 14 countries so far, including the U.S. It is a sub-variant of Omicron, and it's sometimes referred to as stealth Omicron.
It's not clear where the new variant originated, but researchers say people who had a breakthrough infection from Omicron and the vaccine could be better protected against this new variant.
This is really good.
It's so stealthy.
It doesn't really exist.
We just call it stealth.
It's stealth.
This one is stealth.
You don't see it coming.
It doesn't register.
But you need a new vaccine for it.
Stealth.
There's a term for this new vaccine.
It's called...
Pan, you know, I clipped right up to the point about the stealth.
I didn't get a clip on that.
I have a supercut, a one-minute supercut of the stealth.
Well, besides that, I just want to do that.
I just thought she came on, and everyone's talking about this, about that, you know, this was already planted.
The Walter Reed vaccine was already planted in our minds, as you recall, where you had a clip of it.
The one that's a pan.
Yeah, it does everything.
One shot and you're good to go.
It washes your dishes.
One shot and you're good to go for the rest of your...
I'm sorry, until the next booster.
Yeah.
Well, Pfizer is trialing their Omicron-specific booster just as the stealth Omicron is coming in.
A new weapon being tested in the war on Omicron.
Pfizer announcing the start of trial.
This is kind of weird how they do that.
Like it's a war.
We're still at war with COVID. A new weapon being tested in the war on Omicron.
Pfizer announcing the start of trials for its Omicron-specific vaccine booster, with more than 1,400 trial patients set to receive one or more doses of the variant-based vaccine.
Though experts say it doesn't appear a strain-specific booster is necessary for people who are already vaccinated and boosted, one of the categories being tested is a three-shot course of the vaccine tailored for Omicron in patients with no vaccinations at all.
It's like the common cold and they want you to take three shots?
Bringing you up to six.
That's your new number everybody.
Here's a quick supercut.
And as you probably know, there already is another mutation from the Omicron.
Omicron 2 really.
And they called it initially the stealth Omicron.
The new stealth version of the Omicron variant discovered in California seems to be harder to detect and according to some experts is even more contagious.
Though it's not yet clear how dangerous it is.
It's being nicknamed Stealth Omicron.
Today, the state health department confirmed two cases of a new Omicron sub-variant found in our state.
And tonight, we're learning that scientists around the world are closely watching a sub-variant of Omicron that's been found here in the U.S., but they don't know yet just how dangerous it may be.
And tonight scientists are tracking that sub-variant of Omicron called BA2, now in the U.S. and at least 55 countries.
BA2 sometimes called the stealth variant because it can be trickier for scientists to pinpoint its exact version.
But for anyone infected with the new sub-variant, those PCR and rapid tests will still work at detecting infection.
This is so desperate.
This is bullshit.
This is a lie.
This is just a lie.
They've made this up to, and this is the pharma side of the whatever, whatever's going on.
They're just, you know, we'll just make, what kind of medical team names the, what happened to the Greek letters?
Names the new variant.
Yeah, stealth.
Omicron stealth.
Come on.
This is insulting.
We had the Greek alphabet.
What comes after Omicron?
Stealth Omicron?
No.
And now we go to Scandinavia to speak with a guy who has a white lab coat on, who sounds like he knows what he's talking about, and this is mainstream, and he's like, well, you know.
Dr.
Bogosh, a variant of the variant, this one being called the stealth variant, but we don't want to alarm people, so how concerned should we be?
Yet again, just another thing to keep an eye on.
I mean, even though there's the umbrella term of Omicron, as you point out, there can be multiple family members living under that same roof, and this is yet another family member.
Yes, it's still Omicron, but it's the BA2, not the BA1. We have a lot of BA1, for example, here in Canada.
We also have BA2. What's interesting is, in other jurisdictions, we're seeing growth of BA2, whereas BA2... Sure.
Does this mimic BA-1 in terms of its mildness?
So it probably has very similar features to BA-1, but I think it's also fair to communicate uncertainty because there is a significant degree of uncertainty.
They're not the same.
There are some genetic mutations that make BA2 different.
It's likely that the clinical spectrum will be similar to BA1. It's likely that the vaccine effects Interceptiveness will be very similar to BA-1.
It's just likely that this is more transmissible.
Again, I think it's too soon to know exactly how this manifests, and we need to learn more.
But informed speculation, it's not the same.
It's probably a little bit more transmissible, but there's probably a lot of other similarities.
Where does that come from?
A Scandinavian mainstream.
No, I'm not talking about the clip.
I'm calling it two things.
One, who says it's more transmissible?
Where's that proved?
There's no proof.
Everything is bull.
And what about, what does BA stand for?
Why is it all of a sudden Omicron is BA1? When did that happen?
Well, that's a good question because it's probably some code that they're laughing about behind closed doors.
But again, we were supposed to have Greek letters.
We weren't supposed to...
We had the Greek letters because we couldn't talk about country origin.
No, this is over.
They're just trying to terrify people to keep some control.
But I think a lot of our...
It's the move inventory.
It's inventory control.
It's moving inventory, yes.
Get this inventory out of here.
We've got a bunch of these vaccines left.
They don't hold up forever, people.
Let's move them.
They go bad.
What if they go bad so we can still give them the shot?
Well, they have the same effectiveness if it goes bad, but that's beside the point.
There's an expiration date on there.
We don't want it to go past because people might ask questions.
So I think I can say that Sir Gene caught the coup.
And so he texted me.
I said, oh, how you feel?
He says, well, you know, it's pretty sleepy and foggy.
And I talked to him on the phone.
His voice was a little higher than normal.
I'm like, yeah, dude, you sound good.
I'm going to bring you a blister pack.
And so I drove into Austin, and this was Monday.
He ordered a monoclonal antibody treatment through his telemedicine provider.
And the next day, the FDA dropped the emergency use authorization for monoclonal antibody for COVID-19, and his appointment was canceled.
Go and die.
Go home and die.
You can't have that.
Immediately cancelled.
Everybody's bitching about this.
Well, of course.
It's very easy to make, is my understanding.
It's not expensive, clearly.
Otherwise, it would be up front and center.
But that's kind of, what do you call it?
Bad.
It's just Cavalier.
Have you been following the Ron Johnson sessions?
I don't think you can really call them.
I don't have any Ron Johnson clips, but he brought all the usual suspects, all the YouTubers, everybody and their sister, a huge list of people.
And he brought them all before to do YouTube videos, one after the other, in front of his kind of – it's not really a – It's not a hearing.
No, it's one of those crazy hearings that they do off the books.
Yeah, I like it though because the clips are getting out and I wanted to play three clips.
First is from, I don't know exactly what he does, but he's talking about remdesivir.
If you look at the four independent studies, including the large study by the WHO, it shows the opposite effect.
Remdesivir increases the risk of death.
Let me say that again.
Sorry?
Remdesivir is the worst.
I'm glad somebody's bringing this up.
Oh, you're going to hear a little more about it.
Remdesivir increases the risk of death by 3%.
It increases your chances of renal failure by 20%.
This is a toxic drug.
But just to make the situation even more preposterous, the federal government will give hospitals a 20% bonus...
On the entire hospital bill, if they prescribe remdesivir to Medicare patients, the federal government is incentivizing hospitals to prescribe a medication which is toxic.
Okay, so that's out there.
Makes sense because you want to get rid of these Medicare, these people in Medicare.
Yes.
They're a burden on the society.
It's death panels.
Yes.
Bring in registered nurse Nicole Sirotech, I believe her name is.
You might remember her.
She was the nurse crying in the break room about how they were killing people.
That was her viral YouTube claim to fame.
Yeah, I remember that.
I don't think she's a YouTuber, but she's very well spoken.
She spoke for a long time.
I pulled a couple minutes here.
My name is Nicole Sirotech.
I'm a registered nurse.
I've been a registered nurse for over a decade.
And by the way, this is edited.
I pulled out a whole bunch of stuff that just kind of, you know, was credential stuff.
You can go look at the whole thing if you want in the show notes.
My specialty is critical care, trauma and flight.
Since the start of the COVID pandemic, I've actually been rebranded, I guess you can say, as a leading expert in early intervention strategies executed on a large mass scale using the FLCCC protocol, as well as COVID patient ventilator protective strategies to optimize COVID patients on the ventilators.
My story actually begins back in May of 2020.
I was one of the original nurses that went to NYC to help with the COVID pandemic, because as we remembered, they needed nurses.
Most importantly, they needed ventilators.
Well, I was the whole package, a flight nurse that can manage ventilators.
And when I arrived there, the gross negligence and the medical malfeasance that happened in there and the complete medical mismanagement of these patients is what has led us to the situation that we're in right now.
But when I was in New York, and what continues to happen today is that many of them are not dying from COVID.
What we saw on these front lines, we knew what was happening.
And when we asked for the ibuprofen, they said, no, it was contraindicated.
When we asked, like, why aren't we giving them steroids?
Oh, well, it's not.
We're just following orders.
Following orders has led to the sheer number of deaths that has occurred in these hospitals.
I didn't see a single patient died of COVID.
I've seen a substantial number of patients die of negligence and medical malfeasance.
Now, while I was there and I saw that the pharmaceutical companies were rolling out remdesivir onto the patients, I tried to get a hold of the IRBs.
I tried to get a hold of my appropriate chain of command.
I tried CMS. I tried Department of Health.
And they rolled out remdesivir onto a substantial number of patients for which we all saw it was killing the patients.
And now it's the FDA-approved drug that is continuing to kill patients in the United States.
And so we've collected the data from all of these patients across the country from which we have been helping patients because I formed the organization American Frontline Nurses and the Advocacy Network.
So nurses could advocate for these patients, and all of this data pool shows that as these patients get remdesivir, they have a less than 25% chance of survival if they get more than two doses.
Now, they're rolling it out on children as well, and into the nursing homes or skilled nursing facilities as early intervention, when as Dr.
Pierre-Cory and Dr.
Merrick have already demonstrated, that there are cost-effective medications out there, and we are going to see the amplification of death across our country.
Now, the thing that is most interesting to me in this little bit here is she says the pharmaceutical companies, and I'd like to know more about it, she says the pharmaceutical companies put a 20% bonus on top of the entire bill.
That was the other guy.
In order to have the hospital systems and doctors prescribe remdesivir.
I want to think it's probably, it's the same, it's really, they're all connected, but it seems more like that's probably the insurance company.
And that makes sense because they would want to kill people to have less payout later on.
Yeah.
Well, that's for sure.
I think that's absolutely correct.
But I think the way it would be done would be that they'd bill the insurance companies for the full amount and then the drug companies would kick back 20% in cash.
Yes.
It's like buying a car.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's a good point.
That's a good point.
That would be an incentive.
So I think this is pretty damning and that sounds about right.
And if you really look from a meta level, what is happening right now, certainly in the United States, we're killing old people and we're letting young people in unchecked.
That's what you do.
You can have a war and you can kill all the people and then have a baby boom or you can also let immigrants in.
But this is a cleansing, it seems.
Kill the old people, and they were killed.
And look at the killers.
Cuomo!
Cuomo's a murderer.
Yeah.
Allegedly.
It's always Democrats, by the way.
I've been saying this since the 1980s.
But, because it was obvious to me that when I was younger, they kept trying to kill all the kids, all the baby boomers.
There was too many of them.
And they were still bitching about it for all the years of my life.
It was all these baby boomers.
They're going to get up there and when they get old, they're going to bring us down.
They're going to break Social Security.
There's too many of them.
We've got to kill them.
So it was one thing after another.
The ultimate exit strategy.
This is just the end of the process.
One more short bit here where it's just so incredibly nuts what's going on in the medical world and doctors don't even believe their own lion eyes.
And we haven't even touched on the vaccines for which all of our expert panels have already very well described that situation.
So I won't touch on that since many of them are by far superior to me than even I could ever hope to be.
But I can tell you that two days ago, I flew out my first 10-year-old with a heart attack, and I had to fight the doctor in the ER because he's like, 10-year-olds don't have heart attacks.
And I argued back and forth for 30 minutes to force his hand to get an EKG to find out that he had almost a complete STEMI, which is ST-elevated myocardial infarction, for which you could see it lit up on the 12-lead EKG.
And he's like, well, that's not possible.
And I'm like, well, he was just vaccinated yesterday.
It is very much possible.
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay.
Oh, man, I'm so happy that you got me on the vitamin D3 a long time ago.
And I'm happy that I always added zinc to that and had my quercetin, which seems to also be helpful.
And my weed.
Quercetin seems to have something to do with zinc absorption.
Yeah, helping it get into the system.
Now, vitamin D, D3 specifically, is something that we've talked about.
We use it and we don't advise anybody to do anything.
But here we are.
And you are definitely in the crosshairs.
I mean, I'd say, you know, I'm boomer adjacent, but you're squarely in it.
So they do want to kill you.
Oh, yeah.
They're totally out to kill you.
They've been trying since the Vietnam War.
Well, I think you should be careful with that vitamin D3 because, you know, Dr.
Jen over there at ABC, you know.
Are there any vitamins that I can be taking to lessen my chances of contracting Omicron or other COVID-19 variants?
There are so many people asking this question, Jill.
So first, some qualifiers.
Absolutely to be crystal clear, none that replace vaccination, boosting, and then the lower level kind of protection mechanisms that we have.
Chill!
That being said, there is a decent amount of data.
Linking observational data and association, vitamin D3 with a lower risk of viral upper respiratory infections.
That is not new.
And in the setting of the pandemic, association observation data that links people with low D3 levels, people who are elderly, people who don't get outside a lot in natural sunlight, people who are dark skinned or overweight or obese, all known to have risk factors for low D3 levels.
There's data that links those people with worse outcomes of COVID-19.
However, I want to be crystal clear.
If you want to take 1,000 units a day in supplement form for your overall health and well-being, that is unlikely to do any harm.
But you cannot, at this point, rely on any miracle vitamin to protect you against COVID. Those are scams.
That is not evidence-based medicine.
It's impossible.
Those are scams.
That's not evidence-based medicine.
Who's benefiting from this scam?
Now, I have a question that's kind of interesting that came to mind.
How come an obese person would have lower levels of D3 when they have more skin?
You know, I don't know.
I heard the...
More skin would produce more vitamin D3 or D. The sun hits your skin, makes vitamin D. So you have more skin, therefore, but you have more...
And you're a big fat guy.
Yeah.
You'd have a lot more skin.
Yeah, but does that compensate for the lot more of you that there is?
I don't think...
I'm just saying.
Yeah, okay.
Well, all right, Dr.
Dvorak.
Well, okay, okay.
Ask that one.
Extra panel.
How about this?
You're a big fat guy.
You lose a ton of weight and you have hanging flabby skin.
So now you're thin.
You don't have the extra weight, but you still got the skin.
Well, you should run for president.
You should run for president because you're Mike Pompeo is who you just described.
That dude's got to have a lot of hanging skin.
I think so.
Oh, have you seen him?
He lost about 100 pounds.
Pompeo, the CIA guy?
Yes!
He's running.
You've got...
Oh, just look for a picture right now.
He's been saying he's going to run for president.
What is with these CIA guys?
Remember back when Trump ran in 2016 and a CIA guy in Utah because he didn't like Trump?
Oh, that's right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'll beat him.
He was an overt CIA guy just like Pompeo.
He wasn't like hiding.
He wasn't like some spook.
He was just a CIA guy and he's running for president because Trump is no good.
Right.
What is with these CIA guys thinking they can be president just because George H.W. Bush became president?
No.
It was a fluke.
No, I think it's, you know, the presidents we have are either run by the CIA or the DIA. Yeah.
In general, I think.
Obama was CIA. Trump was clearly closer to the military, so we'll say DIA. And, you know, it's like, you know, you can have undercover guys, you know, like, oh, I'm a member of the CIA, but no one should really know.
Or just be a CIA guy.
And just, you know, it's like, that's how brazen.
They don't care.
I don't think they care.
Pompeo's in for a rude awakening when he runs into primaries and gets no votes.
I'm surprised.
Well, it's got to be money.
There's money behind him doing it.
That's the thing.
Who's funding it?
There could be some sort of a collect money scam.
You can collect money campaign contributions.
It could be funneling CIA funds into someone.
I don't know.
There's something going on.
It sounds like money laundering.
Now, I mentioned a couple times the young global leaders of the World Economic Forum, and we've talked about this in the past.
Yeah, they're listed.
Right, the people you need to know is Angela Merkel, Bill Gates, Zuckerberg, Newsom, Macron, Trudeau.
I mean, the list goes on.
Jimmy Wales for Wikipedia, Lena Wynne, CNN, Wyclef Jean, who's that guy?
Whenever there's something in Haiti.
Whenever there's something in Haiti.
What?
I didn't realize he was on the young leaders.
Let me give you some notable leaders here.
We have Pete Buttigieg.
That makes sense, right?
We have Macron.
I said Wyclef Jean.
We have Zuckerberg.
Rajiv Shah.
This is a Rockefeller person.
Lena Nguyen.
Now that makes sense because she's everywhere.
There's trouble.
She was in Boston.
Boom.
There she is.
The Boston Bombers.
Now she's here.
The Belgian Prime Minister.
Who else?
Jimmy Wales.
Ivanka Trump.
Hello.
There you go.
That's interesting.
That is interesting.
I want to take the discussion in a certain direction, see if we can make something out of what's happening.
But first, this quick clip from Klaus Schwab in 2017, boasting that Boasting about the young global leaders that are members of the World Economic Forum.
I think Dan Crenshaw is also a World Economic Forum young global leader, as is Tulsi Gabbard.
And I have to say, when I mention our names like Mrs.
Merkel, even Vladimir Putin and so on, They all have been young global leaders of the World Economic Forum.
But what we are very proud of now is the young generation like Prime Minister Trudeau, President of Argentina and so on, that we penetrate the cabinets.
So yesterday I was at a reception for Prime Minister Trudeau and I We know that half of this cabinet, or even more half of this cabinet, are actually young global leaders of the world.
I love it when they boast that we penetrate cabinets everywhere, and half of Trudeau's cabinet, young global leaders.
That's sick.
It's like a Bond character, this guy.
And that's what makes him so beautiful.
So let's just imagine for a second.
You got the World Economic Forum, and they've clearly called for the Great Reset, and oh, this has to happen, and he's been going on, and it was interesting, actually, I saw Antonio Guiteras, Antonio Guiteras, Guiteras, the General Counsel of the United Nations, and he tweeted something that I found very curious.
Let me see, I have this image somewhere.
He tweeted about things that need to be, like a priority list of things we need to do.
And number one was, of course, we need to defeat COVID-19.
But number two was reinvent the global financial system.
That seemed kind of weird and out of place.
How does the Rothschild feel about this?
And then number three is climate change.
So climate change, according to, and I put a tweet in the show notes, according to Guteraz, is number three.
But it's the change of the world financial system.
And you know where my head's at with that.
Yes, I believe they want to have a central bank, etc.
But in context of what's happening right now with Russia, Is it maybe possible that Trump screwed everything up, messed up whatever they were supposed to do for the Great Reset?
Maybe the virus was planned, but the vaccine wasn't ready.
I mean, whatever it is, it's not working out the way they want it to.
People are just overpowering.
It's just not happening.
But maybe that was all set up to facilitate the financial reset or whatever, how that plays in the climate change.
It failed.
That's what's happening right now.
So that failed.
What is the one thing that always works when you want to reset the world?
And that's war.
And perhaps, and I'm going to take us back to David Icke.
We listened to and played a lot of David Icke way in the beginning of the show.
In 2007, 2008, all the way up to 2014, he was making the one prediction over and over again, and I just wonder if we're at that place now, and I have a clip of it.
What I've been saying now, way back in the 1990s, the idea is for this Third World War to involve Russia and China against the West, in the 1984 kind of scenario.
And what you have now is the demonization of Russia.
Have you noticed that, how suddenly we've got the demonization of Russia?
And what's opening up In the Ukraine, while all this is starting to go on in the Middle East, is another front against Russia.
Because, you know, it's very easy to see how Russia can be pulled into this Middle Eastern conflict by supporting Syria.
Because destroying Syria is part of ISIS's agenda, and American agenda, and NATO's agenda.
And also Iran as well.
Yeah, and destroying Iran, yeah.
And Russia would come out in support of Iran, and the same would happen with China.
And so you can see how the pieces in the game are being moved around.
The idea is to basically bring everything to its knees so that...
The world would have to be rebuilt in its structure and the way it operates, and that would be in the image of what they've been working towards all along.
World government, World Central Bank, World Army, world currency, centralized control of the planet.
So you take this blueprint, which we've heard a lot, and of course it is from 1984, we were always at war with Eurasia.
You take into account the Kazakhstan failed coup.
I guess it failed.
We have no reporting, which it was, you know, trying to piss off Russia and China because that's their whole Belt and Road connection goes through Kazakhstan.
Now, David Icke says, well, they have to destroy Syria, which is another key part for Russia.
You know, they have their port over there and they've got long term relationships with Syria.
And, you know, that was kind of gone.
So, okay, we've got the Russia part.
We've got the China part.
And then yesterday, this happens.
Now to the other major story overseas.
The days-long siege at a prison where thousands of suspected ISIS members are being held.
ISIS fighters attacking the facility in Syria last Thursday in an attempt to free the ISIS detainees.
A coalition said the attack has been contained after the U.S. called in airstrikes to help an American-backed militia regain control.
But some militants are still holed up in the section of the prison and they're reportedly using hundreds of detained children as human shields.
It is not clear how many prisoners were able to escape.
Well, you know that we're behind this when it's either chemical attacks from helicopters or other bullcrap.
Right.
These guys aren't even in business for the four years Trump's office.
And then two minutes after Biden becomes president, ISIS is back.
And wait for it.
This is very sad.
Wait for it.
Now we bring in our other Ukrainian connection, Alexander Vindman.
We remember him.
Let me play this from Vindman and then we can go wherever you want to go.
This is what he said this week on the horrible Nicole Wallace show.
Could you expand on your piece, Colonel Vindman, and then tell me what you think about what happened today?
So I think it's important to note that I think we're basically just on the cusp of war.
I think it's all but certain in my mind that there's going to be a large European war on the order of magnitude of World War II with air power, sea power, Massive ground forces offensives.
And my concern now is making sure that the United States is postured for that outcome.
I think there's little to be done to avoid it at this point.
I think the U.S. was over-reliant on a deterrent based on a reactionary policy.
So if Russia does this, these are the consequences that it could bear out.
In reality, the Russians have significant reasons to doubt U.S. resolve in this space.
I think that at this point, we also need to start preparing for the day after, the day of that outcome, for the humanitarian catastrophe that's going to unfold in Europe, for the contingencies of having to reassure U.S. allies in Eastern Europe that are going to want some U.S. presence there to ensure that Russia's objectives are in fact limited to Ukraine.
And we're going to have to come to the reality that there are going to be seismic effects on the geopolitical landscape, the economic landscape, The American people should be aware of because there are going to be direct impacts on the U.S. economy, on U.S. national security, and we should just be doing everything we can to prepare for that and do whatever we think we can do at this point, maybe to avert it.
But the ball is in Putin's court.
He's the one that's going to make the ultimate call on this.
He's the one that has the most flexibility because he's an authoritarian leader and he could look for off-ramps and face-saving measures.
I think the U.S. and EU, NATO, and the Ukrainians have, frankly, less flexibility.
They've established a very firm position and something that they really can't easily change course on now.
I'd say the guy's on the inside, at least on the inside of this plan.
I think that he's off the rails, so I'll take the opposite with him.
And by the way, what was he doing on the Larry David show as a star?
I didn't see that.
Up his profile!
Of course!
He plays a douchebag.
Yeah, everywhere.
In real life, too.
But that doesn't matter.
He's signaling.
He's signaling something here.
Well, I want to play the same clip that you just played before him about the ISIS thing, but I think it's from NPR, and it introduces a new term that I think is kind of cute about the kids.
They're called, well, you'll hear it in here.
Are these kids also detained?
Are the kids in the prison?
No, no, the kids are.
Well, you'll hear it in there.
When you hear the term, you're going to say, well, there's a show title.
ISIS is back.
The military group stormed a Kurdish-run prison in Syria, sparking a week-long battle with U.S. and allied forces.
Fox's Trey Yings is following that situation from Tel Aviv.
US forces helping America's Kurdish allies bring an end to the biggest offensive by ISIS in more than two years.
Hundreds of militants attacking a prison complex in northeastern Syria.
The Kurds had been holding about 3,000 ISIS prisoners there, and hundreds escaped during the initial battle.
They eventually took over the entire prison, holding hostages and using child soldiers to slow down the advance of Kurdish forces.
There were some who are called Cubs of the Caliphate.
ISIS was using them as human shields, and therefore we had to be careful.
But U.S. airstrikes and support on the ground eventually proved to be too much for the ISIS fighters, who surrendered on Wednesday after more than 500 militants were recaptured.
This is the first major coordinated attack by ISIS since the fall of their so-called caliphate in 2019.
At that time, President Trump declared the group destroyed, leading to questions about whether the U.S. military had been ignoring a growing threat.
Constantly focused on the ISIS threat.
That is why we still have advisors in Iraq.
That's why we also still have a small presence inside Syria.
The ISIS threat's not gone.
And we recognize that.
Meanwhile, tens of thousands of civilians displaced by the conflict are now starting to return home, hoping for stability after a week of constant fighting.
We are all displaced because of the intensive bombing and the kids were terrified.
We left because of the horror, the hunger, and the cold.
It's not clear how many ISIS prisoners are still at large in northeast Syria.
Well, yes, I love it.
I would like to rebrand them.
Instead of the Cubs of the Caliphate, clearly this is the new Syrian baseball team, the Caliphate Cubs.
The Caliphate Cubs.
That's what it is, the Caliphate Cubs, everybody.
Yeah, and they never win a World Series.
That's great.
So they're the little ISIS fuckers.
It was a, it was, in this report, it was just a matter of fact that there were like thousands of American troops there.
Yeah, I know.
That's my point exactly.
We're destroying Syria.
How is this work?
I thought we were out of there.
No, we're supporting some group, some other group who is against ISIS. This is horrible.
And by the way, I don't think we ever left.
I'm sure we never left Syria.
I don't think we left under Trump.
We're always leaving something behind.
It's just what we do.
We're probably still in Afghanistan then.
Yeah, probably.
Now, I have a feeling that something, I think Ukraine is a red herring.
I think it's about a different area.
And when I heard this report from ABC, I picked up a map.
With more Russian troops massing on Ukraine's border, Navy vessels in the Baltic seas, and Russian fighter jets heading to Belarus, Ukraine's neighbor to the north, the Pentagon tonight placing 8,500 U.S. troops on heightened alert for possible rapid deployment to back NATO allies in Eastern Europe and the Baltics.
So the Baltic Sea, when you look at the map, in that sea is Finland, Sweden, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, of course a little bit of Germany and Denmark.
What is interesting in the Baltic Sea, that's where all the action is taking place.
Is that anywhere near Ukraine?
Well, no, not really.
But there's a little place called Kalingrad.
Which is sandwiched in between Lithuania and Poland.
We've talked about this operation.
We might have.
But this connects to Belarus and Ukraine through the Swalky Gap.
And this has been a point of contention for NATO for years.
It's like 64 miles of land that Russia can use to move through Belarus to Kalingrad, which is where they have historically a naval base and I'm pretty sure a submarine base.
And what I'm receiving now from producers is this may result in...
Submarines cutting undersea cables.
Oh, there you go.
There's a particular cable, which is very important.
A military cable.
Let me see if I can find what it's called.
It's the...
Yes.
It's the cable in Svalbard, Norway.
This is one of the highest capacity.
And military and commercial satellites use it for the backhaul, I guess.
And that is why we saw Sweden, if you recall the report, saying, yeah, we're beefing up security in Gotland.
Remember that?
Who gives a crap about Gotland?
Well, Gotland is right there in the middle of the Baltic Sea.
And I think some of the cables may run through it or under it or next to it.
They would probably run through it, yeah.
So that would be your theater.
Your theater of war is the Baltic Sea.
And then we have the...
We saw something like this, don't you remember, about 10 years ago when there was this action?
They were cutting cables.
They were cutting cables at that point, weren't they?
They were cutting cables outside of Turkey?
Mm-hmm.
So you got the information they want to cut.
And then, of course, even the New York Times.
New York Times.
When did this come out?
This was...
When was this?
Yesterday.
Two days ago.
The headline is clear.
What happens if Russia cuts off Europe's natural gas?
Well, your climate change policies will look pretty weak, won't they?
Without Russia's natural gas, and I think Nord Stream 2 is on ice for a long time now, you get exactly what you see.
Natural gas trading five times last year's price.
And we're shipping it now.
We're shipping as much as we can.
Well, I would say look at it from our perspective.
It's win-win.
The Russians can buy their time.
They've got tons of natural gas and they can ship it.
Okay, so they're going to take a beating, at least for the short term.
But then, long term, since the price is jacked up, that makes it very profitable for us to ship it by tanker.
Yes, yes.
And we're not going to get the cheap price, the old crap price, which the Russians have been selling it at.
We get best price.
We get best price.
But our idea of best price is high.
A high price, not a low price, like Chinese best price.
Correct.
No, we like best, best price.
So we sell for best price, and then the Russians can be let in on the deal later and take over at the new high price when they finally open the Nord Stream.
The Russians could make it.
Everyone could make out on this deal behind the scenes.
Oh, I'm not.
And that's very possible.
But I'm just seeing this whole...
I don't see a war like Vindman's predicting.
Well, I don't think it's a kinetic war at all.
That's not...
The war is probably well underway.
We just don't even know all the things that are happening.
But, you know, the world wars...
If you really look at the World Wars, it was always France and Germany pissed off at each other.
That's what it always is.
They're always fighting.
And the UK is now completely extracted from Brexit.
Just if we look at the good old boys' idea of global government, you know, one more time, boys, one more World War, we reset everything, reset the financial system, we reset the boundaries, we make up new countries, we remove countries, we can do anything we want.
And Russia and China will just forever be the adversary, or we could bring them back in.
And Psaki used an interesting terminology when she was asked by Ducey about, you know, oh, we're sanctioning Russia, but how about China?
Again, lumping Russia and China together.
And then on COVID origins, you guys are talking a lot about sanctions for Russia if they dare to invade Ukraine.
What about sanctions for China at any point for misleading the world about the early days of the global pandemic?
We have used sanctions as a tool as it relates to our concerns about the behavior of a range of countries, including officials in China.
But I have nothing to preview for you at this point.
Have you ever heard that terminology?
I have nothing to preview for you at this point?
I just thought it was odd.
She said it before.
Oh, okay.
Well, I just thought it was odd.
She's got a lot of weird usages.
To preview.
Circle back.
I mean, you have it all ready to go?
It's just the trailer isn't ready yet?
Your Wag the Dog trailer?
CBS reports on the sanctions, which could go all the way to the top.
So you have some reporting on whether President Biden would want to personally sanction the Russian president.
Well, Nora, the U.S. could sanction Putin, but at this point the White House has not decided to do so.
According to sources I speak to, if you do that, it creates some technical complications.
If you sanction someone you have to negotiate with, how do they travel?
Coordination-wise, it also gets complicated.
What may be more effective as a strategy is putting pressure on the oligarchs close to him, their business interests, and their bank accounts so that they, in turn, put pressure on Putin.
Didn't we already do that?
Isn't that the whole Magninsky act?
Yeah, we talked about it on the last show, as a matter of fact.
The whole Magninsky act was about that.
It was the old Obama technique.
Yes!
Get his buddies.
We're going to make it so his friends are miserable.
And this is the logic.
Yeah.
I really hate this guy, this guy Curry.
What are you going to do about it?
I'm going to kick his wife until she tells Curtis.
The logic is like something is like dissociated.
It's very strange.
Your pent-up aggression against Tina is notable.
Kick her.
I got one more here about...
Oh, this is the back and forth.
The U.S. ambassador to Moscow delivered a written response to Russia's demand that NATO halt its expansion and never allow former Soviet states, including Ukraine, to join the alliance.
There is no change.
There will be no change.
Secretary Blinken said no such concessions will be made, but the U.S. did put an offer on the table.
Was this just to show you tried?
Well, as we've said, the placement of offensive missile systems in Ukraine, military exercises and maneuvers in Europe, all of these things would address, I think, mutual concerns, including concerns stated by Russia, and advanced collective security.
8,500 U.S. troops were put on high alert for near-term deployment in case diplomacy fails.
Today, NATO Secretary General said 5,000 Allied forces are set to go.
We have plans in place that we can activate, execute on very short notice.
No one is quite sure what Vladimir Putin will do.
Next week, he is set to travel to China for the start of the Olympic Games.
And the State Department says that may impact timing of an attack.
I think that probably President Xi Jinping would not be ecstatic if Putin chose that moment to invade Ukraine.
So that may affect his timing and his thinking.
Wait a minute.
Except because it affects the ratings on the Olympic Games?
I don't know.
What are they saying?
What are they trying to tell us?
They're just trying to tell us Russia-China together, bad, all evil, no good.
And we're not going...
NBC isn't even sending reporters for their own show!
Who's going to report on the games?
There's going to have voiceovers.
You and I can do it.
We can just do it.
We can do our own commentary.
Then I can have anybody on the ground.
Oh, and there he is.
He fell.
Oh, yes.
Very good.
And here he is in the women's final.
That would pretty much be it.
You know, I'm still stuck in my mind this idea about, I forgot the gas prices went five-fold.
You know, this whole thing could be a giant scam to screw Europe.
Yes!
And Russia may be in on it, because they know that Biden plays ball.
Yeah, maybe.
Maybe.
It's possible.
Because it's the Biden crime family.
They'll go along with this and Biden gets some help.
You know, it can help our oil companies.
But you're giving the American elites a lot of credit with that.
How can these bumbling fools do anything?
And what was the point of this whole COVID-19 then?
Come on.
No, I think that's separate.
I'm taking COVID-19 off the table when it comes to this kind of scheme just to make money off of oil.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, it's working.
Very good with the oil.
What is oil now?
$90 a barrel?
It's in the high 80s, I think.
You can have $12 gas in California.
Well, you know what it is in Norway?
$14 a gallon.
Yeah, but they eat brown cheese there.
They push the green thing.
The Norwegians are stupid, it looks like to me.
They push green, green, green.
Here's your gasoline, $12 a gallon.
Now you're going to get an electric car?
Oh, by the way, electricity is really expensive too, but maybe you should just stay home.
Well, I think that would also be preferable.
So we have all that going on.
Then we need to create some more panic for political reasons and maybe for some climate change or maybe just to be used as a handy moment if we need to lock everybody down or keep everybody home.
What?
I'm sorry, but I can't get this out of my system.
Okay.
So the Norwegian, let's go back to the Norway thing, the $14 a gallon.
Norway is one of the world's leading producers of petroleum.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
In Norway.
Why is it $14 a gallon when they produce it all for next to nothing?
For the same reason they lock the European citizens up like dogs.
They hate them.
They hate them.
They don't care.
They must hate them.
They hate them.
The European governance, the elites as you would call them, I would call them the same thing.
You'd call them, hate the public.
They hate the peasants.
They hate the populace.
They hate them.
Yes.
Yes, there's your answer.
None of these leaders love their people.
None of them.
They are useless leaders.
They are to be eliminated.
Trudeau hates his Canadian public.
Yes, they are to be eliminated, the ones who are not on board.
Why do people put up with these guys?
Well, they're not.
They're starting to push back.
But your point is well made.
Let's watch the 2022 election in the United States.
Let's see all the same douchebags...
All the same douchebags get re-elected.
And of course, how could we miss this?
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is running for re-election, seeking a 19th term.
Pelosi is 81.
Nowhere yet if she'll try to keep her position as Speaker if Democrats hold on to control of the House.
You know, if California re-elects Nancy Pelosi, her district, then California is no longer my America.
I'm shunning you.
It's not California.
California is not electing Nancy Pelosi.
I said her district, I said.
Her district is, there is no district.
Her district is just a rubber stamp that says Democrat on it.
Whoever gets to run is the Democrat, and that district gets the job.
And if she decides to run, because she is the boss, she gets the job.
Nobody's voting for her.
It's just a giant rubber stamp.
It's like you go there.
The people do vote.
They do vote.
No, it's just a giant rubber stamp.
You've never seen anything like it.
There's no ballot.
There's a crank on the side of the thing.
Okay.
All right, John.
There's no ballot.
I got you.
I got you.
Moving on to her favorite pastime, January 6th, the purge.
We've got to make everyone very afraid of Republicans in particular.
Certainly anyone who has ever said Trump without wincing and grimacing and gagging.
And God bless Catherine Herridge.
Once she left Fox and went to the CIA broadcast system, she went all in.
It's kind of sad that she had to do that.
But this, of course, was the big news yesterday.
And this can be used.
We'll see if it gets used.
But at least it's out there.
Here in the U.S., the Department of Homeland Security is warning of a potential troubling escalation in tactics from right-wing extremists.
Catherine Herridge has more on this, and she joins us from Washington.
Catherine, we understand the power grid could be a target.
Good morning.
According to the intelligence report obtained by CBS News, these groups have developed credible and specific plans to attack the power grid since at least 2020 as a way to disrupt the country and the ability of government to operate.
The report warns extremists adhering to a range of ideologies will likely continue to plot and encourage physical attacks against power networks, which include more than 6,400 plants and nearly a half million miles of high voltage lines.
While the bulletin emphasized small-scale attacks are unlikely to cause widespread power loss, it may cause disruption to critical infrastructure like hospitals and police departments.
Homeland Security noted several indicators, including online chatter.
While the report does not suggest an imminent threat...
Wait, no.
Before you say that, I like the two examples.
Of hospitals and police stations.
Why not fire departments?
Why not?
I mean, is that really?
What are you trying to tell us?
I'm thinking they're going to pull the plug on some police stations.
Let it go rampant.
Well, they can't do much with...
Most hospitals, worth their salt, have jet turbine engines in the roof.
Of course they do.
And the power goes off, they're running fine.
So that's bull crap.
That's just a lie.
CIA? And now the, and now the, but the police stations don't, that I know of, have backup.
I know, but they could.
They got cars, they're getting their cars, they're getting their radio and their cars.
I mean, come on.
It may cause disruption to critical infrastructure like hospitals and police departments.
Homeland Security noted several indicators, including online chatter.
Online chatter!
That was what I interrupted for and I forgot already.
Online chatter is a reference to terrorism, Middle East terrorism.
Yes, 9-11.
So you use the term online chatter and it's associative.
Yes, it's beautiful.
Including online chatter.
While the report does not suggest an imminent threat, the Homeland Security Secretary has warned, lone wolf actors and small bands of extremists are among the greatest domestic threat because they are hard to detect, disrupt, and can mobilize quickly.
And it's back.
Did you catch it?
It's back.
The lone wolf is back.
Can I ask you a question?
Please do.
So what's one...
Give me one single...
One example of one of these terrorists doing some damage to a power plant with a whatever.
By the way, I isolated one of these stories with a newsletter and mentioned that one of the big threats was a terrorist with a hammer.
Yeah, and I think we've made this joke before because I think we've had this exact same threat...
Maybe it was ISIS then, but we were laughing about it.
What are you going to do?
Are you going to go to the gate and throw hammers or bricks or something?
Now, we also got the Russia might bring down the grid with cyber attack.
That's not going to work.
I don't know.
I'm just telling you.
I'm asking you.
This is the episode segment.
Oh, okay.
The CIA goes in and does it and blames Russia.
The CIA goes in and blames it on MAGA people.
Yeah, that's what's going on.
And then they leave a piece of some clothing, a patch, says Russia.
MAGA, MAGA. Or MAGA would be better.
MAGA. MAGA was here.
And it's like, oh, look what we found, a piece of clothing.
But this is preconditioning.
Whether they use it or not, and one of our producers, this is almost like a movie soundtrack is what I'm going to play it.
It's the same report, short.
It's from CBS 800 AM. We're good to go.
Peering to a range of ideologies will likely continue to plot and encourage physical attacks against power networks, which include more than 6,500 plants and nearly a half million miles of high-voltage lines.
It may cause disruption to critical infrastructure like hospitals and police departments.
The World Health Organization says there were 21 million new COVID... Isn't that the way every Stephen King...
Movie opens with the radio and you hear the reports.
I love it.
I love it.
I'm conditioned.
I'm ready for it.
Although, I hope the a-hole who promised me to have my whole house generator installed does it before the violent domestic extremists turn off the grid.
You're bitching about your local vendor now?
You changed the topic?
Yeah.
No, it's not a topic change.
I'm just saying.
I'm very upset about that.
What's the rush?
Did you not hear the report, man?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't even...
You know, when they do something like this, especially with a hammer...
I'm waiting.
Oh, you know.
Do you remember this?
Just go back.
This just came to mind.
Do you remember?
And this is way early.
This is like over 10 years ago on this show.
We were discussing these guys that were in San Jose.
It was taking place.
I forgot where you were living at the time.
But these guys kept toying with little areas where the internet was all interconnected and they would go in and dig it up or something.
The exchanges?
It wasn't the big exchange.
It was like different kinds of little connected areas that nobody knew was an exchange.
It wasn't like a...
Not like May East, May West?
No, okay.
It wasn't one of the big boys.
Hmm.
But they were fooling around with it, and we thought it was, oh, maybe they were just testing the system, and you don't remember it.
No.
I just vaguely remember this happening, and then it just stopped.
Wait, was this when they got into some Cisco routers at these smaller exchanges?
And I do remember something like that.
Yeah, there was something like that.
I don't remember the details.
Then it just disappeared off the radar, this whole whatever was going on.
Mm.
You know, I went to May East years ago.
I've been there too, yeah.
Back in the, I forgot when it was.
It was so long ago.
It was, I mean, this main part of it was in a, you could get, you could almost, if you drove a truck in there, you could take out the whole thing.
The guy took me down there to show me something that was hooked in there.
And he says, you know, you could come in here with one hand grenade and you could wipe out the East Coast.
Take them forever to fix it.
Wasn't there at some point, this is early, this is early internet lore, people pay attention.
I remember May East, the Metropolitan Area Exchange is what M-A-E, May stands for.
That's where you have all these networks interconnecting.
There's many more of them now, but those are the big ones.
It used to be four.
I remember when it flooded.
Do you remember that?
I think it was May East that flooded.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying, May East flooded.
You had to walk down to get into it.
Mm-hmm, yep.
And I remember that caused some havoc.
Ah, good times, man.
Good times.
Good times.
I don't think I have much else in that area.
You got anything else we need to do?
Well, I want to get, since we're still on the, I don't want to go too far away from the vax, because I have a bunch of vax clips.
Oh, let's do that.
Anti-vax clips.
Anti-vax.
Okay.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't even see you had them.
Okay.
Let's do it.
Let me see vax, vax, vax.
I see it now.
I want to play this, because this is the one that's got your buddy in it.
This is the un-vax.
Are you telling me Osterholm clips are coming up again?
Because it's so rude that you say he's my buddy.
Unvaxxed, hated by, Stern.
About 64% of the American population has been fully vaccinated now, and many are feeling anger at the remaining 36%.
There have been calls for hospitals to refrain from treating unvaccinated people, including from radio host Howard Stern last week.
Now, if it was up to me, anyone unvaccinated would not be admitted to a hospital.
At this point, they've been given plenty of opportunity to get the vaccine.
And last year, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel joked about it, too.
Dr.
Fauci said that if hospitals get any more overcrowded, they're going to have to make some very tough choices about who gets an ICU bed.
That choice doesn't seem so tough to me.
Vaccinated person having a heart attack?
Yes, come right on in.
We'll take care of you.
Unvaccinated guy who gobbled horse goo?
Rest in peace, Wheezy.
But medical ethicists say that is not the right approach.
Dr.
Carla Kearns is an associate professor of medical ethics and palliative care at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kansas.
And she joins us now.
Welcome.
Thank you.
What is your reaction to people who say hospitals should turn away unvaccinated people?
It makes me sad, first of all, because I have seen and treated a lot of folks who haven't been vaccinated throughout the pandemic.
And these are our neighbors.
The folks who remain unvaccinated, while there's a fraction who are resistant and aren't going to get vaccinated, a large fraction of the rest of them are folks who have poor access to health care or poor access to information.
It's rural folks.
It's folks from poor communities.
It's folks who don't have insurance or who have jobs where they can't get away to get a shot in the middle of the day.
Was this NPR? Was this NPR? Yeah.
Yeah, I think so.
Yes, okay.
That's really sad.
A couple of things here.
Really sad.
A couple of things here.
First of all, this idea, they're pushing this notion that the unvaxxed are poor rural dummies.
Yeah.
So there's that little element.
They try to keep the, you know, these poor idiots, they can't get vaccinated.
There are neighbors.
There are neighbors.
There are neighbors, but somehow our neighbors are across the tracks in the rural area.
I don't know how that works.
The dumb ones.
The second thing was the subtle, the very subtle and subconscious, and I know he didn't mean to say it or do it, but Kimmel.
When he says, oh, you're a vaccinated person having a heart attack?
Yes, I love that.
I love the heart attack.
Just slip that in.
Yeah, well, I think it's coming across now that the vaccines cause heart attacks.
People are like, oh, wait a minute!
Yeah.
So we didn't get that joke.
This woman here finishes off with some more of her sad story about how this is not the way to think.
And then she mentions that, well, play part two because there's a couple more little items in here.
And the second thing is, we don't do that.
In healthcare, we treat people based on their need.
And everyone could find themselves in need of healthcare.
And just because you ate at McDonald's yesterday or you were driving a little too fast or you decided to go bungee jumping doesn't mean that we don't treat you for what happens.
An article in The Atlantic last week, which you may have seen, detailed another similar trend, which is people, particularly on social media, scorning those who are mourning their loved ones who've died from COVID and weren't vaccinated.
And I just wonder how that strikes you.
It's really a sign of the stress and tragedy of our times.
Why would people be so angry or so mean?
And I think the answer to that is that we are all tired and we're angry and our lives have been disrupted for two years now.
And some folks are facing things like having surgeries delayed, and they're looking for someone to blame, but they're also looking for a sense of control.
And the idea that I got vaccinated so I'm going to be safe, and it's their fault that they got sick, helps almost as a psychological coping mechanism.
It helps us think, well, this wouldn't happen to me.
Oh, who was this millennial?
Some doctor.
But the thing that I think people are ignoring is that it's this deep-seated, this gloating over somebody else's misfortune is really a kind of a, and I don't want to say racist, but it reminds me of like, you know, the Yellow Star and all the rest.
You know, it's a Jewish bastard letting them rot.
I mean, it's really the worst part of the human psyche is what you're witnessing when you see people like Stern or Kimmel or all the people gloating over the death of someone saying, yeah, it's too bad he didn't get vaccinated, he should be dead.
It's really sick.
And sadly, that is human nature when people get into this state.
I think it's hypnosis, but whatever it is, throughout history.
Throughout history, never forget, although they should say always remember, but never forget the Holocaust.
What should we not forget?
That you're the Nazis.
We ourselves are the Nazis.
That's what you're not supposed to forget.
That happens every single time.
And it's not just in the West.
It's everywhere.
And even in the West.
How about the witch trials?
We had so many things.
Just killing our own neighbors.
That's who we are.
All people, as long as you have the right set of circumstances and the right messaging, let's face it, the messaging is strong.
And it's also backed up by reports like this.
A hospital in Boston has denied a heart transplant to a man who's unvaccinated.
Medical experts say the hospital's decision comes down to the likelihood of the transplant's success.
A cold could kill you.
COVID could kill you.
The organs are scarce.
We're not going to distribute them to someone who has a very poor chance of living when others who are vaccinated have a much better chance post-surgery of surviving.
The hospital says it does everything possible to make sure organs go to patients with the best odds of survival.
A death panel!
Yes!
And as I'm listening to that, I have a couple of clips from The View today.
I don't want to play them.
I just want to play one now because it fits into this.
You're right.
This is sick.
These people who think this way are sick.
And almost the way that guy sounded like, well, you know, we make the decisions here.
No, no, we're not going to let you.
You clearly have much, much smaller, even though the chance of dying is, what, 0.1%, much smaller chance of surviving your heart transplant if you're not vaccinated.
So it doesn't have COVID, but if you get COVID, oh, no, and why waste a good heart?
That's really sick thinking from these people.
And when I heard Whoopi Goldberg Ugh.
Railing on colleague Bill Maher, she said something in there that I believe was projection because it is true.
It's not just people on the fringe either who are speaking out like this.
And over the weekend, Bill Maher made a case for people who are vaccinated, boosted, and have been following the rules since all of this started.
Take a look.
I don't want to live in your paranoid world anymore, your masked paranoid world.
You know, you go out, it's silly now.
You know, you have your mask, you have to have a card, you have to have a booster, they scan your head.
Like you're a cashier and I'm a bunch of bananas.
I'm not bananas, you are.
That's not really funny to people who've lost their kids to this vaccine or people who've lost family members or dear friends to this.
It's just, you know, listen, nobody on the planet really wants to go through this.
This is not something we're doing because it's, you know, sexually gratifying.
This is what we're doing to protect our families.
Why did she say that?
You know, I've heard this clip, and I have...
I wonder...
And by the way, what happened to her?
She looks like she's gained 150 pounds.
Yeah, she blew up pretty big, yeah.
Out of the blue.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That was a weird thing for her to say.
Out of the blue.
And I'm thinking because you probably do get some sexual gratification from this whole scenario.
And as a fellow comic, isn't she way off base for what she's doing here?
Is that done?
Did you criticize comedians doing a bit as a comedian, which she claims to be?
She used to do stand-up.
Yeah, I know.
That's what I'm saying.
Can you then just go and...
Is that done in the comedy world?
No.
Of course not.
It's a faux pas.
It's a mistake.
It's like stealing material.
Let's play the rest of it.
It's just, you know, listen, nobody on the planet really wants to go through this.
This is not something we're doing because it's, you know, sexually gratifying.
This is what we're doing to protect our families.
And you don't have to do it, but stay away from everybody.
Because if you're the one who's not paying attention, and you're coughing and sneezing, you don't want to...
Then stay out of the public, man.
Man.
Nobody wants this.
Man.
I don't want it.
And I think he's forgetting that people are still at risk who cannot get vaccinated.
People who can't get vaccinated.
Little kids under the age of five.
Yeah.
Or people with health conditions.
How dare you be so flippant, man?
Man.
Is that how comics speak to each other?
How dare you be so flippant, man?
We'll be showing her true Beyonce.
...vaccinated.
People who...
...whitest Beyonce ever.
...kids under the age of five.
Yeah.
Or people with health conditions.
How dare you be so flippant, man?
They're over it.
Yeah.
Like a relationship.
I'm over it.
I don't feel like seeing it anymore.
I don't think we're...
...to the post-mask part, because I think there's a prudence we've learned with the mask, the hand sanitizing, that kind of like 9-11 with flying is always going to be here now.
There's a new normal.
In the beginning, post-9-11, people didn't want to fly, and the security measures felt like, uh, how do we do this, you know?
And now it's the norm.
I think some of the things we've learned in this pandemic are going to stay the same.
I may never ride a subway again without a mask.
I never go indoors to big crowds, never feel comfortable without a mask, and that's up to me to do that.
It's okay if you've got a million-dollar salary on The View.
Why take the subway?
This is really great.
I love...
She has a service.
Give me a break.
Don't be so flippant, man.
I'm going to say that to everybody now.
You just say it to me.
Hey, don't be so flippant, man.
Can we take a break?
Don't be so...
I do have some more of these vaccines, but I'd rather take a break and do them later.
I need a break.
Because I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, you, the man who put the sea in the Caliphate Cubs, ladies and gentlemen, Mr.
John C. Dvorak!
Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Ann Curls, or in the morning where all the ships at sea, the boots on the ground, the feet in the air, the subs underwater, and all the dames at night out there.
In the morning to the trolls in the troll room.
Hey trolls, don't be so flippant, man!
It's not cool what you're doing.
This is real troll.
I even kicked a troll out earlier this morning.
For being flippant?
Yeah, for being flippant.
I'm like, I'll flip you out of the troll room.
We no longer kick, it's flip.
What did he say?
I said Kamala Harris is not African American.
Oh no, Biden said he would nominate a black woman.
And all the reports are African American.
And so what did the flippant person say?
Oh, speaks the guy who has one black friend.
Ha ha ha!
Come on, that was funny.
It's funny.
But if it gets you flipped out of the troll room, piece of crap.
It was very funny, but I was like, I'm kicking you out for that.
That was too good.
Hey, who makes the jokes?
You're giving me crap for banning people or whatever it is.
I didn't ban him.
I just flipped him out.
He came right back in.
It's just a joke.
It says, in fact, that we need to change the words.
Whatever, Duogen was flipped by Adam Curry.
It's not a ban.
It's not a ban.
It came right back in.
Flipped out.
It's funny.
Hey, if you want to be flipped out, go to the troll room, trollroom.io.
Let's find out how many are waiting to get flipped out here for a second.
Hello, trolls.
They're scurrying around little trolls.
2205 today on the count for the trolls in the troll room.
They're listening to the show live.
It is low.
They're listening to the show live and you can troll along with the live streams 24-7.
It's noagendastream.com.
It's Gitmo Nation Radio.
If it's not live, it's a pre-recorded podcast.
But the Troll Room is always live and we expect to see you there.
Or follow us at noagendasocial.com.
That's where all the cool kids hang out.
The ones who are early on in.
But of course, there are many other places you can sign up and follow the action.
Just follow John C. Dvorak at NoAgendaSocial.com or Adam at NoAgendaSocial.com.
And we encourage you to move to the Mastodon, move to the Fediverse, get off of Twitter, stop wasting your time, and don't be so flippant, man.
Seriously.
Let's thank the artist for episode 1419.
We titled that Sleep Equity, How Could We Not?
It showed up in one of our clips.
And this fantastic artwork, again, this is what is so good about our producers.
I mean, we all pick the hits.
And we pick the monkey story as the hit right after we're done with the show.
And we've got this great monkey art from Mike Reilly.
The news cycle flips and it's all the lady who touched the monkey has symptoms.
And so everyone's seeing this image and we're laughing our ass off.
And it was perfect.
And Mike Riley nailed it with the time to add a monkey.
Yeah.
And he's a silly monkey.
Very silly monkey.
Um...
It's also very recognizable Mike Riley, by the way.
Riley has style.
Yeah, he's got some style.
There were a couple other things we looked at, I believe.
There was the monkey.
We had a couple other monkeys.
Darren did a good monkey.
Darren had a monkey.
He had touched the monkey with the dump truck being crashed into.
Did we have more swabs?
Barrel of Monkeys.
That was up there by somebody who did Barrel of Monkeys.
Barrel of Monkeys.
Net-Ned.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Was there anything we looked at seriously that we thought was good?
A lot of kitty litter, furry litter.
No, no, no.
Um...
I don't think there was anything else.
I think there must have been.
I don't think we went right to the Riley piece.
What else are we looking at?
Nothing kind of rings a bell.
Let me look on the second page.
Here's the picture.
Oh, a lot of people did the Eminem thing thinking that we would do the Eminem story.
Oh, yeah, we didn't.
Go to Tim Pool for that.
It's a lame story.
Yeah, we don't do that.
It's like, oh, it's promotion for M&M's, for Mars, the Mars Corporation.
The whole thing is designed to be a promotion for M&M's.
Yes.
Of course.
Deconstructing any news, unless what we just did, which is a promotion.
That's it.
It's a promotion.
Surprise!
Yeah, never heard of such a thing.
I think that was it, John.
I don't think there was anything else.
No, there was.
There is a picture down there of, I have to give credit to Roundy, who was at the meet-up, and then they went to this protest.
Yeah, we have a report from him later on.
And he had to stop Karen's sign-up.
Ah, yeah.
I was curious about it because he got a lot of attention from the media because the camera would take a picture of it because it stood out.
Because he's smart.
Yeah, he's smart.
He knows what he's doing.
I like the thing.
So I contacted him and asked him about the makeup of the sign because it looked like a heavy sign.
Mm-hmm.
Huge.
But it was made out of styrofoam, the whole thing.
Was that the red stop Karen with the wig on it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, Roundy's genius.
So they've got some media attention.
He wouldn't give anyone his name.
No, why would he?
You don't want to be hauled before the January 6th panel?
Yeah.
It's the last thing he needs.
He'd be in the ULU response for January 6th.
We don't need any of that.
We will be talking more about...
Actually, I'll have to bring in the view...
You know, he could have used the fake name.
That's always funny.
But then it could be that the reporter's in the FBI, and that's lying to the FBI. What he should have done is said, my name is Nick the Rat.
I mean, that would have solved everything.
But no.
Comic strip blogger'd been good, too.
That would have been another good one.
Yes.
As discussed in the newsletter, we will talk a little bit about the ongoing assault against podcasting, which is reaching the ridiculous end.
Quite a conundrum for some of the people calling for deplatforming and policing.
We'll get to that in our maybe C block.
But for now, a reminder that podcasting is safe and secure if you use a modern podcast app from newpodcastapps.com, which also has 15, 16 new features, including transcripts which you can search and images.
Oh, oh my gosh, you could see all the images we were just talking about, newpodcastapps.com.
Now let us thank our executive and associate executive producers for episode 1420.
And we kick it off with a $1,000 donation from David Arneson from Plymouth, Minnesota.
And he says, Joe Rogan was right.
Your show is great.
Please don't change a thing.
I'd like to be known as Dave Delecto, Knight of the Realm, and I'd like my dinner to be keto-friendly.
Do I get a discount at the Renaissance Festival with this?
Shut up, slave!
Uh, I can't speak for any discounts at the Renaissance festivals, but if there's a Renaissance festival, all you have to do is drop an ITM and you're in like Flynn.
Shut up, slave!
We got people at Renaissance festivals everywhere.
Do we?
Oh, yes, we got a huge Renaissance.
We got furries, we got renaissancers, we got, you name it.
We got burners.
Burners?
Yeah, Burning Man, burners.
Bernie men are called burners?
I think so.
Huh.
Hey, man, I'm a burner.
Wow.
Are you a burner?
Don't be flippant, man.
I'm a burner.
I'm going to try not to be flippant.
Okay, onward with Sarah Klassen.
And she comes in with 666666666.
And she says, in the morning, John and Adam, it's my birthday.
Birthday on no agenda.
By the way, this note is long, Sarah.
Long.
What luck, she actually says.
Now, I want to mention something, which needs to be mentioned.
I'm still without a mouse.
John, this is unacceptable.
How can you be, you could have ordered 10 mice.
You know, here's what happens.
I know this doesn't happen with you, but it does happen with me.
I'm done with the show and I forget everything.
Yeah, you're right off to the meth and you're done.
Exactly.
It's my birthday on no agenda.
What luck!
Today's my birthday and it's a show day and also the day I complete my quest for damehood.
What better way to celebrate and to put up is seated at a round table.
The only thing that would make it better would be for my handsome husband, Kelly, to become a knight so we could be seated side by side.
Aww!
But wait!
Oh!
This donation of 666.66 Canadian is actually a split.
That's right.
Please credit us each with a 333.33 executive producership.
That completes...
We'll put the names and Kelly and Sarah.
This completes Kelly's quest of knighthood as well.
Adam, would you please toss us each a penny?
Well, of course.
I happen to have one for you and a penny for Kelly.
Big pet.
Would henceforth like to be known as Dame Sarah of the Fraser Valley?
Where all the money was.
Please knight Kelly as Sir Dude Named Kelly of the Fraser Valley for the round table.
I would like to request a medium rare Alberta beef ribeye.
Which is a good quality product.
And whiskey sours.
Interesting combo.
Yeah, I find...
I'm sure you find that just...
Come on, man.
Don't be so flippant.
Cringe-worthy.
Cringe.
Cringy.
Kelly would like a Beef Wellington and whatever wine John thinks would pair well with a Beef Wellington.
Good Bordeaux.
That's Chateau Margaux.
Let's go for it.
Please say a happy birthday to my big brother Kevin and add him to the birthday list.
I don't know if he's on there.
I believe he is.
His birthday was on the 25th.
Yes, he is.
Big brother Kevin's on the list.
We have a lot of birthdays and nights today.
We look forward to seeing our fellow slaves in the Fraser Valley this Saturday at the meetup in Abbotsford.
Funny.
Could you please play Get Vaccinated?
No.
Shut up, slave.
It's science and I call bull crap.
As always, thank you for keeping it real.
Alright, soon to be Dame Sarah.
Get vaccinated.
No.
Shut up already!
It's science!
I call bullcrap.
Nice combo.
Hey, I picked up my quarter cow.
Speaking of beef.
Uh, you have a freezer.
I do.
I picked up a quarter cow from KNC Cattle in Austin.
As I came back, I stayed with the New York banker Monday night.
You'll plow through this faster than you can imagine.
Oh my God, John, it's so much.
It's like 130 pounds.
You'd be surprised.
I mean, it's incredible how much beef that is.
Well, now, was this a Finnish cow, or is this grass-fed?
Oh, no.
This is grass-fed on original Texas grass.
They rotate.
It's only Cole and Michael.
How big was the animal on the hoof?
I didn't ask, but I would say probably about 600 pounds.
Something like that.
Yeah.
Oh, you'll like the beef.
It's beautiful.
Every time you get one of these, it's different.
They all taste different.
We got a lot of ground beef, too.
You always get a lot of ground beef.
And we made the burgers last night.
The burgers are always the best.
I mean, you just feel the beef is different.
You can feel it's different.
And then putting it on the grill, it was falling apart.
It wouldn't stay together like, you know, the processed crap that we normally eat.
I was just blown away.
Anyway, onward.
Forbes Benning is in London, Ontario.
In Scandinavia and comes in with 501-87.
Let's find out why.
Ah, please accept this donation of 663-98.
I'm thinking that would be Scandinavian bucks.
And that brings me up to knighthood.
Today marks my 1,000th show as well.
Oh, this is exciting.
Or at least I think it does.
Since I don't precisely remember my first No Agenda show.
I started before episode 500.
I'm claiming 420 is my No Agenda birthday.
As well, this number makes its appearance in my life quite often.
I've tried looking for other three-digit patterns, but nothing emerges.
At 1,001 odds, it's a mystery.
I will claim the peerage, Sir Real Knight of London.
All good wishes.
Forbes Benning, London, Ontario.
P.S. Please add some fine Ethiopian single-origin coffees to the round table today.
It's got quite an interesting set of stuff for everybody.
No kidding.
Yeah.
No jingles, no karma?
None that I can see.
Okay, James Leffler in Stevensville, Texas, with 333.33, classic executive producer.
Being a donor, not a boner, and became an EP of the best podcast in the universe, the donation derives from selling a rifle I received for winning my division at the 2021 Texas...
Kalsbosch?
Kalsbosch?
A shooting competition.
I think this is one of those German things.
Kalsbosch.
Well, he won something.
Kalsbosch.
I'm going to look it up.
I guess.
A shooting competition.
So he won.
He won his division.
And he won a rifle.
In fact, I sold it to a fellow producer at a recent Texas meat shoot.
Ah, okay.
There's something funny about a meat shoot.
Especially if it's spelled M-E-A-T. They don't like hunting animals.
They have the actual steaks and they shoot them.
It's a form of tenderizing.
The community rules.
Can I please get a Plains Bad, Trains Good, Little Girl Yay, and a Karma?
James Leffler.
I'm still looking for what this couch bash is.
It's Kalash Bash?
Oh, Kalash Bash.
Of course.
I know what that is.
Hello.
It's a bash of people who hang out using Kalashnikovs.
The Kalash Bash.
But it didn't say this, it says Kalsh.
Yeah, but he messed it up.
It's a Kalash bash.
It's clear.
He's a gun guy.
All aboard, trains good, planes bad.
Woo-hoo!
Yay!
You've got karma.
We move on to Ross Easterling, another one of those classic 333.33s getting back into shape after the Rona.
Karma, please.
We got it.
No problem.
You've got karma.
I'll blow through the next two.
Sir David Fugizotto returns, who has quite high peerage and standing from Gladstone, Missouri.
33333.
Thanks, fellas!
NNNJGK. I'd like to know how he came out.
He had corona.
Yep.
I wonder how he's feeling.
I would like to know.
Well, looking at his donation, he seems to be feeling just fine.
You've got karma.
I don't know, because he's kind of short-winded here.
Hold on.
He asked for goat karma, so maybe he is still ill.
Hold on.
You've got...
I messed it up.
There it is.
Goat karma.
NN. No jingles.
What is NN? NN? No.
No.
Hmm.
No jingles.
Goat karma.
What is NN? NNNJ. No jingles.
What is NN? No nothing.
Okay.
Timothy Madsen's in Lake Hopatcong in New Jersey.
33333.
Thank you for the hours of deconstruction and amygdala shrinkage.
It has certainly been a wild ride for the keeper and I. Between losing our business, which was a gym at the outset of this BS, followed up by the constant threat of removal from my position for refusing to obey...
Luckily, the injunction gives me a temporary reprieve.
Please take this donation as a ketchup value, as in catching up, since Adam's second Rogan podcast.
As the keeper said, I can't keep being married to a douchebag!
With that said, please de-douche and hit me with some R2-D2 karma.
Oh, and one little jingle, please.
Just one.
33 Rubbalizer.
And then he has a little boots-on-the-ground report.
Been a federal employee, not a spook for 17 years.
Oh, this is interesting.
We were handed tests recently.
They came open, thrown in Ziploc bags with fabricated medical instructions that didn't match the tests we were given.
Well, that sounds on the up and up.
This happened this past Friday for use on Monday.
The provided tests were, quote, RX-only versions, which, according to the FDA, are not authorized for home use, in lab only.
When pressed on the command decision to provide tests that are unpackaged, unusable, and with incorrect instructions, they postponed the requirement.
Of course, that postponement was couched as an abundance of caution due to the recent injunction.
Thanks again.
Let me know if you guys need anything, want more info.
Truly give me the stretch to fight the BS I've been faced with for the past few months.
Yes, sir, you need some Rubbleizer, and I'm going to throw some karma in for you.
India, Tango, Mike, stand by.
33, 33, 33.
Rubbleizer, out.
You've got karma.
BELL RINGS Doug.
Is next.
Doug.
We used to have a guy named Doug that used to read the news on the...
Well, Doug is still in the troll room.
Yeah, but does he...
Oh, yes, he does.
That's right.
He's the one who used to give out numbers to join the...
And Doug still announces if there's a new show coming up.
And Doug talks back.
Doug has become sophisticated.
Really?
Yes, Doug...
Doug is a bot, but it's a really smart bot.
You'll see it if you go in the troll room, just at Doug, and you'll see it.
I can talk to Doug?
Yes, you can.
Just don't be flippant.
Is this the same Doug here?
I don't think so.
This Doug is in Seven Seals, Pennsylvania, and he gave us $333.33, which I don't think a robot's inclined to do.
No.
Not sure if I'm doing this correctly or right, so I apologize in advance for emailing both of you.
Not a problem.
People do that.
I've made a donation at 333333 via the donation link, and here's a quick, hopefully, note.
I have been a listener since the first Rogan appearance on the beginning of the pandemic.
Thank you for the hours of entertainment.
I did donate before, but I did not get de-douched.
So please de-douche me.
You've been de-douched.
No long note or anything like that.
Just want to thank you both for what you do.
Could you offer up some karma for anyone who needs it?
And could I request three jingles?
One, a random Alex Jones crazy statement, followed by listen to the sound of the lizard people.
Listen.
Followed by a Fauci wheeze.
Love is lit and hail to the pit.
Okay.
Doug from Seven Fields.
Sorry, sorry.
All right, Doug.
Here you go.
My God, for 25 years, they've been growing babies and cows.
Listen to what the lizard people say.
You've got karma.
Fresh blood with fresh jingle combos.
I like that.
I have no idea where that...
I don't remember hearing the lizard people.
Neither do I, but I looked it up and there it was.
There it was.
There it was.
It's one of those crazy things that neither of us remember.
I think it was maybe one of your ISOs, actually.
Strangely.
Next up, we have Jeff...
Alligood, Night Wannabe, and he has a written note, a typewritten note.
In the morning, John and Adam, this switcheroo, uh-oh, executive producer donation is to be credited to my loving and lovely wife, Janet Alligood.
today is also her birthday.
So please add her to the list.
Done.
Janet is a long time listener has hit many people in the mouth.
We appreciate your media deconstruction.
It's kept us grounded in reality.
Janet has been making ongoing contributions via PayPal and this donation takes her well over the threshold for Dame hood.
So please allow her to join you fine folks at the round table as proud Dame Janet of dog nation.
College football fans apparently will understand.
John, please pick a good California Cabernet Sauvignon for the roundtable.
I'm going to have to write this down now.
What are we choosing?
What are we picking?
Oh, let's start with...
Let's have a 2007 Dominus.
Dominus Cab.
Dominus.
And where does the Dominus come from?
And why did you choose that one?
So Napa Valley is a very famous Napa Valley wine made by a Frenchman.
Or owned by a Frenchman.
A dealer's choice on jingles, but asking for a boatload of health karma, as by the time this gets to you, I will have had open heart surgery.
And Janet will have been the principal caregiver in my recovery.
Ah, this is why they wanted it read on show day, January 27th.
Thanks for the continued commitment you two make to the podcast.
What you do is important.
Well, wow.
What jingle should we play for random for, um...
Hmm...
You know, I've been meaning to staple a list of really obscure ones because I have the archives and I never do that.
So all I can do is just, my favorite, all-time favorite is still, there's no competition.
We don't inspire that and we just share a secret.
Yes.
We should always be at the ready.
And it never is.
It's a...
We don't have...
I thought it was...
I can never get that right.
Oh, there's no competition.
Yeah, I got it.
We don't encourage competition.
There's no winning.
There's no winning.
Yeah, this is it.
I got it.
Oh, there's no winning.
We don't like to foster a competitive atmosphere, but we laugh a lot.
Now everyone hug and share a secret.
You've got karma.
Woo!
Worth it.
Worth it.
All-time favorite.
Now, I have to change that to Janet now.
Yeah.
Okay.
Janet Alleygood.
Okay.
All right.
And Jeff, let us know how it went, ma'am.
Yeah.
I just know how that went.
Open heart surgery.
John Nunley in Phoenix, Arizona, 333.
ITM Gents has donated my second executive producership title and I knew it was time as I listened to last Sunday's show, 1419, between the hilarious Escaped Monkey segment and the podcast Under Threat by the M5M who can't control the podcasts.
This is the value we all get from the hard work you boys do.
So I encourage everyone to not be a douche.
F cancer karma for a good friend.
You've got karma.
Ah, then we have Sir Addison.
As you know, the CEO of Shitpost from Chesterfield, Missouri.
333, Sir Addison here with an overdue producership.
If I could address the audience, he says.
Number one, donate!
All caps.
Number two, save 33% on ebulls.com CBD with code NOAGENDA. Thank you for all the kind notes with your orders.
I read them all.
I think I had the ebulls coffee.
Good product.
And it's got CBD in it?
Yeah.
Coffee with CBD? Yeah.
They have teas with CBD. That's one of their big things.
Adam, thanks so much for helping Tascam with the Mixcast for your work with Podcasting 2.0.
It's the most innovative and decentralized thing to ever hit podcasting.
And I'm a big fan.
Everyone listening should use a podcast app from newpodcastapps.com and subscribe to No Agenda and give that some thought.
By the way, I got another offer.
Another company said, hey man, I heard you talking about this.
Screw those guys at TASCAM. We're going to go straight to the Adam Curry signature model.
And they can do it.
So are you ready to be my agent?
Yeah, I'm ready to go.
Okay, because this is happening.
It's on.
I'm playing TASCAM against this other company.
Oh.
Come on.
This is what we want.
Well, actually, it's better to get an auction going.
That's for sure.
You get a lot more money.
Get an auction going.
Jingles.
Jobs, karma, Sharpton, dealer's choice.
But resist.
We must.
We must.
And we will much.
About that.
Be committed.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
Sam Onan in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.
That's 3-3-3.
No note from him.
If he's got one, he'll send it in, I'm sure.
Kurt Butler in South Bend, Indiana.
2-5-1-3-8.
Doubled up birthday donation from Tuesday, January 25th.
They're usually from Richfield, Ohio.
Spent time in Iran, Texas?
Is there a place like that?
Now reside in South Bend, Indiana.
Well, thank you for the tour.
I appreciate that.
I think the Intel community is playing many different sides.
I choose no agenda with Curry and Dvorak.
It's like a code message.
What is he saying here?
I don't know, but I expect a lot more weird donation messages to pop up.
This is clearly an intel community is being asked to support us.
Oh, that must be it, yeah.
It's a message.
Yeah, we can use their support.
It wouldn't hurt.
And by the way, Kurt is the first associate executive producer at 251.38.
Gerardus Kronen, maybe Gerardus Kronen from Gerasdorf-Kapellerfeld in Austria, 23456.
And disappointingly, he says, I sent a note to notes at noagendashow.net with the title Austria Boots on the Ground Report.
I did not get it.
Did you?
No.
Well, I'm not at notes at no agenda.
No, neither am I, but normally that would be sent...
Let me just see.
That wasn't in one of these...
Let me just see.
We didn't have a...
Missing in action...
No, it says not received at noagendashow.net.
Sorry, man.
Send it to us again.
Try adamatkurry.com.
Yeah, it must have been a typo.
It happens all the time.
Let me get this one because you're going to have to get the next one.
Because it's three times as long?
Yeah.
It just blows up the spreadsheet.
These notes are too long.
People have to realize that there's only so much room on it.
You're hurting the show, people.
You're hurting the show.
23456 from Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
Hey guys, I caught up on some accounting and just noticed I should have claimed my title of Viscount.
Back in 2021.
So here I am with an associate executive producer credit to claim it and update my title to Sir John Viscount of Murfreesboro.
And he's on the list for that.
Jingles, get vaccinated, no.
All right.
Get vaccinated.
No.
Kyle Rainey from Canyon, Texas.
Got a row of ducks, 2-2-2-2-2.
And has a couple of jingle requests, WTC7, Noodle Gun, and any Al Sharpton.
In the morning, gentlemen, this row of ducks donation brings me over the halfway mark to knighthood.
I donated 333.33 for show $13.96, but as first-time donor, full-time dummy, my note was lost to the ether.
I'm hoping to correct that with this donation.
First things first, please dedouche me.
You've been dedouched.
And call out my friends as douchebags, John.
Douchebag.
Drew.
And Davey.
As a young millennial producer, I'm 25, so I might have missed the mark to be considered a millennial.
Nope, you're in the sweet spot.
Who works in higher education, I can say that nearly all hope is lost.
This is not encouraging.
Even the few years difference between myself and the students creates a huge gap in our worldview.
I won't get into the COVID BS I deal with, but let's just say I work in a liberal arts department.
Okay, we're all ears.
Adam and John, listening to you along with other podcasts like Tinfoil Hat with Sam Tripoli, JRE, OBDM, Higher Side Chats, My Family Thinks I'm Crazy, and many more, has done so much for me in my amygdala as well as inspiring me to start my own podcast, which I did last year.
For any producers, please check out the Big Dumb Podcast, where we talk conspiracies, current events, and review craft beer.
I'd love any constructive criticism.
I think you got a good combo.
I'll have to listen.
And Adam, I want to thank you for creating this art form and mastering it, allowing me to learn from the best.
Producing a show single-handedly is no easy feat, but I hope to continue to learn and grow making a show worth listening to.
Again, thank you both for all you do, and may you never find an exit strategy.
Please shout out to my smoking hot fiancé, Brooklyn Rose.
Happy third anniversary, January 24th.
And I can't wait to marry you!
Three years together and we never had a fight.
Also, please wish a happy birthday to my amazing mother, Bridget Kingsbury, who turns 46 on February 3rd.
Wouldn't be here without her.
Finally, may I request podcasting and jobs karma for all.
Love is lit from Kyle.
Love is lit from Kyle.
I got my pasta glock locked and loaded.
You've got karma.
Brian Skelton in Cedar Park, Texas.
222.22.
After hearing you on next week's episode of Mackenzie Kelly's podcast, I figured it was time for another donation.
You were on Mackenzie Kelly's podcast?
Okay, so this is Brian, and he assisted Council...
Oh, right.
Mackenzie Kelly, the councilwoman.
Councilperson.
Mackenzie Kelly.
She's not a woman?
She's a birthing person.
She asked if I would be on her podcast.
And it was very impressive because it's video as well.
And she was doing the audio and switching between cameras herself during the interview.
She was single-handing?
Completely.
Yeah, she was single-handing.
Brian was there.
And so I think that that is why he's sending in this donation.
I figured it's time for another donation.
I want to smack you in the face with an exit strategy.
Ooh, okay.
As you know, sometimes you want to go hang out with all the knights and dames.
Open a bar in Austin called The Meetup.
Incorporate, yeah, you need to be a bar owner.
Yeah, that's what I need.
I need a bar.
I think a bar is the way to go.
Incorporate all the no agenda culture that you can.
We can have a lot of stuff.
We can hang it on the wall.
Happy hour drinks cost $3.33.
The bathrooms are labeled dames and knights.
That's creative.
The walls are, what about the third bathroom?
Okay.
The walls are adorned with show art.
That's easy enough.
And just imagine how many people can be hit in the mouth.
That wouldn't be an exit strategy.
No.
He just wants us to keep working with more work.
And now I'm a bartender.
Okay.
After they stopped in to check out a bar just because of the front window, which says, hookers and blow.
That would draw some attention.
Every one of your worldwide fans would make this a tourist attraction.
I think so.
A must-do if they found themselves in Austin.
It would be okay probably to authorize something like this, but not actually work there.
It would be your own heart.
It looks like the Mickey Mantle Bar in New York City.
He's never there.
How about the Don Drysdale's?
You know, there's also...
We have 116 wineries in the Hill Country.
There's an A.J. Foyt winery.
Oh, did you say hi to A.J.? I think A.J.'s dead.
What about his kid, A.J. Jr.?
These are his nephews.
So they bring...
Not even grapes, the wine from California.
They got one of his cars there and some helmets...
It's a winery.
It's another themed winery.
So why don't we do that?
We do No Agenda Winery.
It's easier.
Might as well.
Anyway, he says, if you decide to move forward with this, we'll think about it.
I'm not just an associate executive producer, but I'm also a manager and a dude named Ben.
No, no, bar manager, he says.
Yeah, bar manager.
Okay, well, you might be the guy.
So holla at ya boy.
Love is lit.
Let's do this shit.
If this message is trash, please leave it out.
Oh, well, thanks for that.
He says, I don't want Mackenzie to think her friend is lame.
No, man, you're not lame.
No!
No, not at all.
Far from it.
Yeah, I like the idea.
You set it up, man.
Call a meeting.
I've got plenty of knick-knacks.
Give him a little bit of karma there.
Well, I just put all my knick-knacks on the wall.
The wall of fame is complete.
Yeah, but that's not no agenda knick-knack.
It's a crap load of no agenda knick-knacks.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
I saw that wall.
It's like the Marconi Award.
No, the Marconi Award is not on there at all, so you didn't look.
I didn't look.
I saw the pictures, the two pictures.
Yes, of us.
Two pictures of us.
And underneath that, a huge collage of No Agenda album art.
No, I didn't see that.
But there's a bunch of gold records.
We've never received one.
Well, I just forgot to send you yours.
Onward with Dave Bozeman from Wilmington, North Carolina.
202.22 in close is my donation.
Ah, 20222 in honor of my upcoming Medicare birthday.
John, please sometimes tell your listeners about the OG racial hoax.
Tawana Brawley and the Rev Al's involvement.
Love you guys.
Please pay any Rev Al.
Oh, my God.
We've talked about the Tawana Brawley case, haven't we?
Oh, I don't remember.
It was a long time ago.
Well, it turned out it was a hoax.
There you go.
R-E-S-P-I-C-T. Yeah, Mom.
Thank you.
Kevin Callan in Nashville, Tennessee, $200.33, and he wants some F cancer karma for two loved ones, pew pew, and resist we much.
But resist we much.
We must, and we will much, about that be committed.
You've got karma.
Steven Schumacher, Xenia, Ohio, $200.
Gentlemen, I really appreciate you and the value you have provided me.
My last month's donation has put me over the bar for knighthood.
Please de-douche me.
You've been de-douched.
In the interest of helping out with my name, shoemake.
Oh, maybe it is Shoemake.
It's always been Shoemake.
I thought we always thought it was dropped by PayPal.
His name is Shoemake.
No, no, we've decided.
Oh.
We've decided it was Shoemake.
Oh, we've decided it's Shoemake.
Okay, I'm sorry.
Because it's always coming through as Shoemake, and there's no reason to drop an R on that name.
Well, he's fixing it for us.
Please knight me Sir Shoe.
That would be it.
We just call him Sir Shoe.
Sir Shoe.
Good to go.
No jingles, no karma.
Thank you, sir.
Frank Dwiverden.
Dolphinforden.
Dolphinforden?
Yeah, it's Dove something.
I wonder how he really pronounces it there in North Vancouver.
Dwiverden?
I like the other pronunciation a lot better.
$200.
And he says, here on the west coast of Scandinavia where...
Dr.
Bonnie Henry is a Fauci-lite.
Oh, yes.
I've seen clips of this.
They're a horrible person they got over there.
Yeah, another rat.
Another one we got to shave whose head has to be shaved.
The poop inspector gone nuts.
Horrible people.
And we're doing good compared to the rest of Get More North.
It's a friendly kind of shutdown.
Donated before I need a deduce.
No, I don't.
It's not necessary.
Please keep the good work at Jingles.
He wants to go bomb and you might die.
Little girl, yay.
Shut up already at Science, which is a popular one today.
And some goat karma for everyone who needs it.
We know it really helps.
Adam, I remember seeing Renny Froger Singing, winter in America is cold.
In the last countdown back in the old country, I have been listening for years now here in North, North Van, Scandinavian.
Time for a real donation.
Keep up the good work.
What's he talking about?
My very last show before I left for MTV, I was on television in the Netherlands.
I was leaving in winter, and it was a big deal when I left.
I was super famous, and I had one of the top guys in Holland come in and sing Winter in America is Cold, which I requested he sing.
The classic Doug Ashbourne.
And some people remember that.
Well, he does.
Yeah, 40 years ago, almost.
Why did you even remind me of this?
You might not.
Yay!
Shut up already.
It's science.
You've got karma.
And finally today, our final associate executive producer, Anonymous from Chicago, Illinois, $200.
Hey-o, says Anonymous.
Here's a few love bucks for all your efforts.
If you haven't already discussed it a million times, I started listening in the summer of 2020, I'd love to know more about your process.
Are you organized, scheduled, have particular routines you always follow to arrive ready for show days?
Or is it all over the place?
I would guess with so much info coming, there's got to be some pretty serious methods in place.
However you do it, I'm damn grateful.
Just a little Al Sharpton for the folks, because it can't not be funny.
I think we should disclose our process.
I don't think anyone has actually ever asked us that.
Well, we say it.
We tell people every once in a while, but we don't do it formally.
First of all, it's not scattered.
It's very rigid.
At least mine is.
Should we just say rule number one?
Should we just say rule number one right off the bat so everybody understands we have a rule number one?
Rule number one.
We don't talk outside of the show.
Yeah, this is true.
If we do, we screw up the show.
It's really a disaster.
Anything we talk about beforehand either doesn't get mentioned or we screw up the bit.
It screws up the show.
We would do it.
We would yak, yak, yak, and it would be screwing up the show so we just know.
We know better.
And we have policies in place.
And that's it.
That's our policy right there.
But the process is I work on clips all day the day before, and I get up an hour before the show and look at my clip list, which I sent to Adam the day before, and then I try to remember what these clips are because it's pretty hard to do.
And that's John's process.
Adam's is different because he's got a different time schedule.
All day long, I am doing email, filing them in a system called the Freedom Controller.
It saves offline versions of everything so that we also have all these articles available at bingit.io for the search engine.
It goes in the Freedom Controller.
It's mainly what comes in through email, through email.
Twitter, I would say, and then whatever I'm watching, all day long I'm watching usually MSNBC, CNBC, CNN. I watch Tucker Carlson at night just for enjoyment, but rarely get anything good for him.
In fact, I see a lot of things that we did the day before, which their producers definitely pick up from us, which is fine.
And then on show days, I start to file everything into separate buckets, and then I do all the clips.
So I'm up at 5.15.
At 8 o'clock, I'm collecting the clips that people have sent me, but recording most of them, editing them down, editing the meetup reports, all this stuff, finding all the jingles people want for their...
For their requests, getting John's clips, putting everything into folders, lining it all up, making love to my wife.
I do that on show days, just a quickie, you know.
Smoke a joint, I do that a lot.
And then by the time the show rolls around, I only have an opening thing to say, and then depending on what John says or where we go is where we start.
That's the process.
Yes, the show, I should mention, the show is ad-libbed.
Yes, unscripted.
And live to tape before a live studio audience of trolls.
Unscripted, live to tape with an audience of trolls, which Adam monitors.
I don't.
And he cheats.
I don't do that.
He gets gags and material from the trolls every once in a while.
He cheats?
Well, I'm using this term cheats in a broad sense.
Oh, okay.
As in cheats.
Okay.
Meaning he gets free material on the fly.
From the trolls, which he monitors, and then he gets angry at the trolls every so often and kicks one of them, or whatever word we...
Flip, flip.
Flips him.
He flips him.
He used to flip him off, but now he just flips him.
And the show is pretty much...
It's just...
It just wanders.
But it's very rigid.
It's nothing that...
We do have rules.
It's not like it's scatterbrained.
No.
And it is...
You have to imagine...
In more ways than one, we're kind of like your favorite 70s rock band.
We show up.
We know how to do it.
We got the thing down.
We know how to change the set on the fly.
We know how to go with the flow with each other.
It is a performance.
This is not a news show.
We are two gifted performers.
Ha!
Yes, and what we do, and it's in the mission statement, which will be posted someday.
Ah, yes, the mission statement.
The mission statement.
We deconstruct the news.
We do nothing but deconstruct the news, and that's what we do, and we're both good at it.
Tonight is the measure of whether the country begins in the state of Wisconsin, a national drive to push back, Or whether we have more to go to build a movement of resistance.
But resistance, we must and we will much about that be committed.
I just learned someone posted a screenshot, I think it was on No Agenda Social.
Al Sharpton got his job right after he helped Comcast buy NBC, which was rejected initially by the government, anti-competition, whatever it is.
But after the, was it the Rainbow Action Network or whatever his scam outfit is?
The Rainbow Action, I think, is Jesse Jackson.
Oh, right.
No, he has the NAN, I think it is, whatever it is.
His version of the scam.
Yeah.
That after they endorsed the deal, then it went through, and then he got the gig as he got his show.
I've never heard this story.
Yeah, it's written in some book that someone posted.
Wow.
And it makes total sense to me.
No, it's the only thing that makes sense.
It's the only thing that makes sense, yeah.
Why would this guy have a show?
But, I mean, that's lasted through several administrations at MSNBC. I mean, they must have written that down somehow.
Or maybe he actually does really well for them.
Maybe they're very happy with his performance.
Yeah, what am I saying?
No.
What am I thinking?
Thank you to our executive producers and associate executive producers for episode 1420 of the best podcast in the universe.
You can also become a producer.
All you have to do is send in your value.
Whatever this show is worth to you.
You hear people saying it and what they think it's worth.
And we'll thank more people coming up.
If you'd like to be one of these execs or associate execs, go to dvorak.org.
Thank you for your time, talent, and treasure for producing the best podcast in the universe.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
I have a note from somebody for the second segment.
Okay.
I wanted to read.
You've got to get a little on the mic because you're drifting.
You know, when I read, I always turn to...
I know.
I'm still on the mic, but I'm not down the mic.
It's very annoying.
This mic, you should be able to talk over it a little better.
Otherwise, I have to put the note here, which I've moved it.
You should see.
Do you see what I'm doing?
Yes, I see exactly where the note is.
The guy sends us 8008s coming up as a boob donation.
I know how good it feels to wake up knowing you've made a difference in someone's day and he commends us both.
He's a real massage therapist in Los Angeles who loved his vocation, but who has since seen his 21-year-old business dismantled by the COVID scandemic.
The Epstein and Robert Kraft massage crap didn't help either.
I want you to know that legal therapists in California have tried for years to get the state to crack down in California on shady massage parlors where no one is licensed, but they shrug and act helpless.
And we even went so far as to send lists of the locations that actually advertise sex work Through nasty websites like RubMaps.
RubMaps.
This is new.
RubMaps.
Yeah, RubMaps.
The Fed shut down Backpage, but its customers just migrated to private pages on the Signal app.
For all you guys out there.
When I asked a client who happened to be an attorney for the city of Los Angeles for any advice, she divulged...
That the city of L.A. stopped all investigations into the matter when it was determined that many of these places were in fact frequented by the LAPD officers.
And a couple of the massage parlors were actually, in all caps, owned by cops!
Yeah.
So, I went to the website, rubmaps.ch, subhead where fantasy meets reality.
This is pretty blatant.
Erotic massage parlor reviews and happy endings.
This is not stealth by any stretch of the imagination.
Kerrville, right down the road, hey, you can get a handy for 60 bucks.
It's a steal.
I want to finish this guy.
Please take me away from this.
He sent us a couple of t-shirts that basically the t-shirts say they tried to kill us.
We're we here though.
And so the WeHearThough.com, WeHearThough, T-H-O, WeHearThough.com, 30% off for the code, you use the code, friendsandfamilythough, T-H-O, 30% off these T-shirts.
They're kind of cute.
They look at the Intel inside their logo, but it says they tried to kill us.
WeHearThough.
And he sent one for me and one for you, sent it forward to you.
And I figured, well, I'll just tell Adam about it.
That should be good enough.
Just tell me about it and never send it to me.
Thanks, John.
Yeah, that's really nice.
Should we do these?
I think we have two make goods.
Should we do them here?
Oh, yeah.
Well, yeah, let's do it.
Hold on a second.
I'm putting this stuff in here.
Yes, we have two.
We have a make good from Abilash Kumar, a member from India.
We got his donation through a wire transfer.
And he says, thanks for the call on the last show for my donation.
Unfortunately, you missed my karma.
Could you please give me a jobs karma to help with my move to Kuala Lumpur?
And my current company, with my current company, I hope they don't stiff me on my expat salary.
Absolutely, ma'am.
We're going to give you a big piece of jobs, Carmen.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
And then also from 1419, James Murray says, I just need a no-agenda PayPal donation accounting for the past seven years and discovered my donations equaled $1,300.33.
I could have been a knight a year ago and I didn't even know it.
I would like to be knighted as Sir...
Steam Monk, ST34M Monk, so it's Haxer, of Huntington Beach, California.
No jingles or karma.
I would like Nick the Rat to be served on a spit at the round table.
If he's not being...
We're roasting Nick.
I'm also throwing an extra 333.33 in for the upcoming year of outstanding analysis and entertainment.
Thank you, too, for what you do.
No jingles, no karma.
Thank you very much.
Appreciate that very much.
Is he on the list?
We knighted him.
Oh, we did knight him.
We can do him a title upgrade or something.
Um...
Title change?
Oh, no.
Actually, I guess we didn't.
We didn't knight him.
He is on the knight list.
Oh, okay.
Good.
Excellent.
All right.
Where are we now?
Where are we at?
Where are we at?
Well, I was going to do some more of this vaccine stuff.
Yeah, well...
I can skip it.
It's not important.
Is it any good?
I mean, I just...
I think everyone's so sick of the vaccine.
It's a four-parter, so it must be dynamite.
But no, let's skip it.
I can put it as the politics of vaccines, of vaccine hate, anti-vaccine politics.
I'll tell you what, play the first one if it's any good.
We can determine it by the first place.
The anti-vaccine movement and the political far right are moving closer together.
For example, in October of this year, Donald Trump's son Eric spoke to anti-vaccine activists at a conference.
We love the United States of America.
It's the greatest country on earth.
Greatest country on earth.
NPR's Jeff Brumfield explains what's drawing them together.
And a warning, this piece contains strong language.
Eric Trump delivered his half-hour speech to thousands of people at the Gaylord Opryland Resort in Nashville, Tennessee.
Some of his biggest applause lines came when he attacked the COVID vaccine mandates.
Do you want to get a vaccine?
Do you not?
Do you want to be left alone or not?
No.
Do you want to own a firearm?
So do I. This all sounded really different from what came just hours before.
On the same stage, an anti-vaccine activist named Carrie Madej claimed the vaccines contained microscopic technology, decided to turn humans into cyborgs.
They're trying to put...
Another kind of nervous system inside of you, but an AI kind.
These are my hypotheses.
I encourage you to do your own research.
Nice editing.
It's those sort of fringe views that kept political...
Nice editing, and then always end with, I encourage you to do your own research.
It's clear sign of a nut job.
Put another kind of nervous system inside of you, but an AI kind.
These are my hypotheses.
I encourage you to do your own research.
It's those sort of fringe views that kept political figures away from this conference in the past.
But as America heads into an election year, there seems to be a magnetic energy.
The truth is, I'm still a registered Democrat.
Del Bigtree is a major anti-vaccine activist.
He struggled to make his message appeal to liberals, but it seems to tap into something on the political right.
This is, I mean...
Just the fact that they're saying anti-vaccine, anti-vaxxer just disqualifies this whole report.
It will get me very mad.
Maybe we should listen.
It's NPR. These people, these are Nazis.
NPR, Nazi public radio.
Nazi party radio.
You guys are Nazis.
Your heads will be shaven.
You'll be marched naked down Main Street.
Huh?
I said you're a wishful thinker.
No, it's going to happen.
It's on.
Don't be flippant, man.
I want to hear part two now.
I'm angry.
He still remembers the first time he noticed.
He was invited to speak about a documentary he'd written and produced at a conservative women's group in Texas.
By the way, stop, stop.
Is this a guy doing the voiceover maybe blow his nose or is he coked up?
Yes.
National Partei Radio.
Nazi Partei Radio.
Coked up.
He still remembers the first time he noticed.
I might not be on.
He was invited to speak about a documentary he'd written and produced at a conservative women's group in Texas.
They loved it.
Clearly I was shocked as a lifelong liberal progressive that I was hugging and hanging out and having a great time with a bunch of Extremely conservative mothers and grandmothers.
Big Tree has been banned from social media platforms like YouTube for making false claims about the dangers of COVID vaccines.
But as the pandemic has dragged on, his conservative audience keeps growing.
Often he speaks at conferences alongside people who claim the election was rigged and promoters of QAnon conspiracy theory.
Unless there's going to be a white supremacist, you know, on the stage, or I find out that there's something that I truly find distasteful, then I see that stage as simply an audience that I want to have hear this message.
It's a numbers game.
He wants to grow his movement and he'll talk to anyone who will listen.
Now, on the other side of this alliance are far-right conservatives like Trump's former political advisor, Roger Stone.
Oh, brother.
Most of you know my story.
He was convicted of lying to Congress about the Trump campaign's ties to Russia.
Now, I stopped it there.
Because what did he just do, this guy, this adenoidal voiceover guy?
Connected everything evil to Russia.
To Trump.
Well, Trump.
Yeah, of course.
But that's not what Roger Stone was convicted of.
He was convicted of lying to Congress.
He was convicted of a bunch of administrative screw-ups.
Let me see what they said.
On the other side of this alliance are far-right conservatives like Trump's former political advisor, Roger Stone.
Most of you know my story.
He was convicted of lying to Congress about the Trump campaign's ties to Russia.
No, he wasn't.
Exactly.
Ha, good one.
Good catch.
Nazi Party Radio.
That's exactly right.
Jeez.
All right, now you got me.
I'm going to take it.
I'm sorry.
I was going to kill it after the first one, but you can play part three if you want it.
It's just annoying the whole way through.
Well, what's a little infuriating about it is this is exactly, this is the chaos they want.
Let's get everybody hating each other.
NPR is being very divisive.
They're using extremely loaded terms for people who may not, who may not want mandates, calling them anti-vaxxers, conspiracy theorists.
It's shameful.
And they probably poisoned this guy.
That's why the nose thing is like that.
You know, he's probably going to die.
Thone was invited to this conference by anti-vaccine activists Ty and Charlene Bollinger.
He sees vaccines as a potent wedge issue that can motivate conservative voters in the upcoming election cycle.
Do you think that going forward, the vaccines are going to be something that people are willing to fight over?
An enormous amount of public polling, which I think is honest, I mean, legitimate polling shows that it is.
So we don't get to decide.
We read what the public is saying as a political strategist, and you have to respond accordingly.
I think it is highly likely that this will be an issue in the 2022 elections.
Vaccine mandates may be a good way to get out the conservative vote.
It's a fight about the role of government and personal liberty.
But add in the views of anti-vaccine activists and that whole fight gets punched up to another level.
Just listen to Del Bigtree.
I believe that this vaccine approach, this vaccine itself, this brand new technology is so incredibly dangerous.
That we are actually putting our species at risk.
That kind of rhetoric, even though it's false, creates an existential crisis.
It's this synergy between real politics and imagined dangers that's bringing these two movements together.
But there's a side effect.
Many thousands of conservative Americans are dying from COVID. Well, you should be encouraging this then, dipshit.
...being pummeled with a lot of bad information about the vaccines.
Liz Hamill heads public opinion research with the Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonpartisan healthcare think tank.
She says misinformation is now a major barrier to vaccination.
We find a huge correlation between belief in misinformation and being unvaccinated.
And Republicans are on the receiving end of a lot of...
Jesus, that was like the...
Let me just hear that.
These people, this is propaganda.
Think tank.
She says misinformation is now a major barrier to vaccination.
We find a huge correlation between belief in misinformation and being unvaccinated.
And Republicans are on the receiving end of a lot of that misinformation, which comes to them daily through conservative media channels.
Kaiser's Polling found that 94% of Republicans think one or more false statements about vaccine safety might be true.
I love the nonpartisan think tank.
Always humorous.
It's a nonpartisan think tank.
Mm-hmm.
What non-partisan think tank is this?
If you ever look at these non-partisan think tanks, if you ever look at the board of directors, they're all a bunch of Democrats.
There's two kinds of think tanks.
There's the non-partisan one, which is all Democrats, and then there's the partisan ones, which are all Republicans.
Yeah, true.
All right, well, thank you.
I'm excited for the final clip in this series.
Well, I'm sorry I really did this.
No, no, no.
I'm happy you did this.
But I do have something to say afterwards.
Hamill has watched over the past eight months as Republican vaccination rates have fallen further and further behind the rest of America.
Today...
An unvaccinated person is three times as likely to lean Republican as they are to lean Democrat.
Oh, really?
To see the impact of this vaccination gap, NPR checked COVID-19 death rates against 2020 election results.
What I'd like to know first...
When you get vaccinated, do you either A, enter your political affiliation on your card, or do they cross-reference that, or how do they get this information that it's people who lean Republican?
How do they get that information?
They take the non-existent database of everyone who's been vaccinated and double-vaxxed and then boosted.
They take the non-existent database of those people and they run it against the voter rolls.
The trend was clear.
Since May, when the vaccines became widely available, counties that voted heavily for Trump experienced nearly three times the death rate from COVID-19 compared to those that voted for President Biden.
They also had far lower vaccination rates.
When asked about Republicans' low vaccination rates, Roger Stone said this.
Each person must make their own choice.
God bless them.
So it doesn't bother you?
You're not worried about Republicans potentially getting COVID, getting sick, not having the vaccine?
I actually think that taking the vaccination probably enhances your chances of getting the disease.
So I guess I'd be more concerned if I were a Democrat.
That last statement is contrary to all the scientific and medical data available.
Stone also declined to say whether he was vaccinated.
He doesn't care if people are dying and he's spreading, pardon my French, quasi-medical information.
They don't care about that.
They just care about winning.
It's the worst element in American politics today.
Annette Meeks is a lifelong Republican.
She heads the Freedom Foundation in Minnesota, a conservative think tank.
Meeks has seen the data on vaccines and she's watched people she knows get sick.
She is worried.
To see people reject those vaccines based on pseudoscience or worse, lies, and to see lives lost is a tragedy beyond words.
Every single one of these people is on my list.
You wanted to say something.
Yeah.
I'm a little irked by the fact that we've not picked it up.
We don't notice it.
We don't talk about it.
Nobody does, in fact.
And this is a good use of the word conflation.
The conflation between the lousy vaccines that are dubious at best and the mandate refusal or the protest against mandates.
Yes.
Which is now just called anti-vax.
When it's not true.
No.
If you're against the mandates, you could be vaxxed, not vaxxed.
It doesn't make any difference.
It's not about the vaccine.
It's about the mandate.
It's about the idea that the government can tell you to stick a needle in your arm.
The protest is not about the vaccine per se.
But what you run into is It's like the Woody Allen joke that's used, which is the two old ladies talking about a restaurant they went to, and one says, oh my God, the food at this place is so terrible.
And the other woman says, yeah, and the portions are so small.
And the understanding of that joke is what we're getting when we mix.
Oh, I don't want to take the vaccine.
Why not?
Well, I don't think the government should tell me what to do.
I don't want to take the vaccine.
Why not?
Oh, it's because the vaccine sucks.
It's so good.
Yeah.
There's a big difference between those two perspectives and they get mixed up and they're co-joined.
It's like, you know, you don't like what...
Because what you're saying, if you take the second approach, is you're saying that if the vaccine was perfect, it was like a perfect vaccine that did exactly what it was supposed to do, there was no side effects ever.
Would you take the vaccine by mandate?
No.
Of course you wouldn't.
You wouldn't.
No.
But the people who have mixed this up, the logic is lost to them.
I just find it very annoying that the quality and talking about the vaccine is one thing.
Talking about the mandates, talking about the fact that you have to get the shot, the jab, and all the other propaganda about it is different.
They're two different topics.
But also they conflate it into, oh, if you're anti-vax, anti-mandate, you're going to be a dead Republican.
I mean, that's what they're saying.
And I don't understand why they're not wringing their hands in glee.
Isn't that what you want?
NPR? Nazi Partei Radio?
Howard Stern and Jimmy Kimmel are one step away from that.
They're right there.
No, this is already all over the place.
People have entire websites that they're happy.
Oh, another Republican died.
Another anti-vax podcaster died.
And that's the rub, ladies and gentlemen.
Podcasting is a thorn in these people's side.
And it falls under the category of misinformation and they just don't know what to do about it because it's a problem.
Rogan, who hosts the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, has frequently promoted unproven methods for treating COVID-19 and downplayed the need for vaccines.
Last year, Spotify purchased his podcast library for an estimated $100 million.
Incorrect.
Fake news.
Licensed, not purchased.
Dr.
Murphy, what do you think are the best ways to push back on misinformation about COVID? This creepy guy?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The mousy face guy?
Yeah, he's the creepy guy.
I know!
You don't want him being your doctor, do you?
Continues to be aggressively pushed, whether it be Joe Rogan's podcast or all...
Did she have a little tell laugh in there?
Did she laugh about something there?
For an estimated $100 million, Dr.
Murthy, what do you think are the best ways to push back on...
What is that about?
Best ways.
What the hell was that?
I mean, seriously, why did she do that?
Dr.
Murthy, what do you think are the best ways to push back on misinformation?
Oh no, I think it's exasperation.
That's Nicole.
What are the best ways?
What are the best ways?
You think?
Yeah, I think she's exasperated.
Sounds like a laugh to me.
She's exacerbated by Rogan.
Dr.
Murthy, what do you think are the best ways to push back on misinformation about COVID that continues to be aggressively pushed, whether it be Joe Rogan's podcast or all over Facebook?
Oh, Mika, it's such an important question because we can have the best science.
Oh, I'm sorry.
This is not Nicole Wallace.
This is Mika.
I'm sorry.
It's Mika.
Oh, Mika's the word.
Oh, yeah, that has to be exasperated because she has no view either whatsoever.
There you go.
Well, Mika, it's such an important question because we can have the best science available.
We can have the best public health expertise available, but it won't help people if they don't have access to accurate information.
If they listen to podcasts.
Well, we're going to get there.
Okay.
But it won't help people if they don't have access to accurate information.
You know, something I've always believed as a doctor is that people have the right to make their own decisions, but they also have the right to make that decision with.
Now, when it comes to how we root out the misinformation in society right now...
And give people access to accurate information, we've got to do several things.
Number one, we've got to recognize that our technology platforms, particularly social media, these have an important role to play.
These are the predominant places where we're seeing misinformation spread.
These platforms have still not stepped up to do the right thing and do enough, I should say, to reduce the spread of misinformation.
But each of us also has a role to play here because we all have platforms.
And particularly if you're somebody who has a large following, Whether you're an entertainer, a politician, in the media, it's your responsibility, all of our responsibilities, to make sure that we are thoughtful in what we are sharing.
This is not just about entertainment.
It's not just about garnering clicks.
This is about people's lives.
And we have seen time and time again that misinformation costs people their lives.
So, you know, we all have a...
This is not just about what government can do.
This is about companies and individuals recognizing that the only way we get past misinformation is if we are careful about what we see and we use the power that we have to limit the spread of that misinformation.
That's going to be a critical part of how we can get through this pandemic.
Yeah, baby.
We need to use the power, the power that we have.
Let's use some power.
You know who's got power?
Old dudes got power.
All right, you won't be able to listen to Neil Young on Spotify anymore.
The streaming service is honoring his demand to be taken off the platform.
Young is angry at Spotify for featuring comedian Joe Rogan's podcast.
Young accuses Rogan of spreading misinformation about COVID vaccines.
Spotify said in a statement they regret Young's decision, but they hope to welcome him back soon.
Now, this was kind of interesting, Neil Young doing a, you know, like a 60s protest type thing.
Hey, I don't want my music on there.
And everyone goes like, who's Neil Young?
Okay.
Unfortunately, that's probably true.
And I don't think he has the right, because there's statutory rights, as long as it's licensed through ASCAP BMI, I don't think that he has the right to pull the catalog, which makes it even funnier, because Spotify went, okay, bye.
We're not even going to argue with you.
Just take your stuff right off.
There may even be a statutory right they have to put it on.
I don't know.
No.
There's definitely not a right that they have to put it on.
There's no way.
The music licensing is so messed up.
It is, but I'm going to agree with you.
I'm going to agree with you.
I'd put money on that one.
So, the problem is Rogan.
And podcasting in general.
But everyone is now focused on Spotify.
Because this is...
I was going to say, Rogan has become the lightning rod.
Yes, yes.
Which I find to be fascinating because I just don't imagine that he'd ever expected to be the lightning rod guy.
All he does is interview a wide variety of people and this began, this whole lightning rod thing began Way, way back when he interviewed that trans, that woman who wrote the book about trans being bad.
Yes.
Remember that?
Yeah, yeah, Abigail.
Abigail Schreier.
Yeah, you're the one who pointed this out.
Yeah, I thought he was very brave to do that, and he was.
It took a lot of guts for him to do it, and she was a great interview, and the book was very important, and that began it.
For some reason, I think, I personally think, that's when it began.
Yeah.
Well, he was already under fire before that for many things, and the problem is the audience.
Everybody knows there's this number, 10 million, 11 million.
It could be 1 million.
It doesn't matter.
That's the number.
That's what the advertisers believe.
Everybody believes that.
I'm sure Spotify can show something.
But it is also Spotify, and everyone mentions the $100 million, and they're the platform, and what are we going to do?
But Joe Rogan, as we discussed, is very important because he's an open microphone.
And that lets spooks and other people like Osterholm get their message through as well.
So that's one reason why deplatforming Joe Rogan is not a very good idea.
Not going to happen.
For other broadcasters to deal with this topic because they have conflicted interests.
Know that every woman on The View, including Lisa Ling, who is now there, has a podcast.
Every single one of them has a podcast.
And I can guarantee you they're all thinking, well shit, Joe Rogan got a hundred million.
Maybe I could be pretty good with the podcast.
I'm telling you, John, you'll hear these jamokes and you'll notice it right away.
We start off with the intro to the Rogan segment on The View.
Apparently Joe Rogan has the most popular podcast on Spotify and he's repeatedly spread...
So this right away for Whoopi Goldberg to say, apparently, it's the biggest media sensation in your life, Karen.
It's not apparently.
You almost had her voice.
Pretty good, huh?
Yeah.
It's the biggest need to say your life, Karen.
I can't do it now.
No, you can't.
But you can.
You can do it.
I have the capability.
So, she is now pretending that she doesn't know Joe Rogan has the biggest podcast in the world.
Yeah, I'm calling bullcrap.
Oh, Apparently Joe Rogan has the most popular podcast on Spotify, and he's repeatedly spread COVID misinformation and invited guests on to do the same.
Hey, Adam, I want you to come on.
I want you to spread some misinformation.
All right, man, I'll be there on Thursday.
And invited guests on to do the same.
Rock legend Neil Young has said he's pulling his music off Spotify because he doesn't want to be on the same platform as Joe Rogan.
Yeah.
Okay.
So, Sunny Hostin is the lawyer, and she's had a makeover in the past year and a half.
She's got her hair all frizzy.
She's got a Beyonce vibe going on.
She has her own production company.
She's doing shows for Netflix.
She has podcasts.
Podcasts on Spotify.
So is she going to really bite the hand that potentially might feed her millions of dollars if she can play her cards right?
Probably not.
Where is Spotify?
Is it Spotify's job to sort of pick this up and run with the ball?
No.
It's not Spotify's job.
We have a First Amendment in this country.
We have to stick with it.
You can't just pick and choose when you want to use the First Amendment.
I disagree with that.
Okay.
For some reason, they never say this about Twitter, do they?
Twitter, these people need to be taken off.
Throw them off right away.
Go!
No!
Police that!
Spotify, no!
No, no, no, no, no!
This country, we have to stick with it.
You can't just pick and choose when you want to use the First Amendment.
Oh, I disagree with that.
Okay, well, I'm going to tell you what I mean, what I think.
Yeah.
I mean, I agree that Joe Rogan is a horror.
A horror.
A horror!
But the way to counter that bad speech is with more speech.
The way to counter it is with boycotts.
I admire Neil for doing this, Neil Young.
He's from the 60s, you know, where musicians took political stands in those days.
They didn't just let everything go the way they're doing now.
I mean, I don't see too many people taking a stand right now.
So maybe other musicians will follow suit.
And that would be legitimate.
Joy, it's not a cancel culture.
It's a consequence culture.
And the way we handle it is we don't buy Spotify.
We ignore Spotify.
But don't you want good corporate citizens, Joy?
I mean, you have, you know, people always came down on...
This is Sunny Hostin.
And she is a corporate whore herself.
Facebook.
And they came down on Twitter and they said they're disseminating all this dangerous information.
Don't they have some accountability for it?
It is their platform.
It is their business.
And I want a good corporate citizen.
I want a citizen that has a policy.
I mean, I'm not saying that Joe Rogan should be removed from Spotify.
He's got 11 million listeners.
He's got a hundred million dollar contract as of 2020.
Now, this is interesting.
She says, I'm not saying that Joe Rogan should be removed from Spotify for potentially killing people, which is their entire argument.
Instead, she says, he's got a huge audience.
He's got like a lot of money.
Tell me that isn't someone who's thinking, I don't want to screw up my potential opportunities.
It is their business.
And I want a good corporate citizen.
I want a citizen that has a policy.
I mean, I'm not saying that Joe Rogan should be removed from Spotify.
He's got 11 million listeners.
He's got a $100 million contract as of 2020.
But I do think as the podcast platform, you have to have some sort of guidelines.
How about a disclaimer on his podcast that says, This is misinformation.
How about removing some of the podcasts that disseminate this misinformation?
How about removing some of the podcasts that disseminate this bad information?
They have.
That's good.
Anybody but Joe Rogan.
What's going on, ladies?
According to a lot of people, they would remove Fox TV also.
You can try to get Fox off your cable vision if you want.
There should be disclaimers.
You can't just cancel the show because we have the first.
I agree with that.
Then they have the blonde lady, who I guess is the conservative lady.
I don't know what her name is.
And she, unbeknownst to herself, basically explains why Joe Rogan is great and they suck.
I do think that Spotify should be obligated not to pull Joe Rogan off.
They would never do that.
He makes way too much money for them.
But to at least mitigate some of that misinformation.
Yeah.
Well, to clarify, the First Amendment, this is a private company.
So it would be the...
The First Amendment doesn't really apply.
Yeah, it doesn't really apply legally, but the spirit of it, I understand.
But I think the most remarkable part of Joe Rogan is his popularity.
Sonny quoted the 11 million listeners per episode.
And what that tells me is that people are hungry for conversations.
He has a three-hour conversation with his guests, and he does bring on opposing views.
In fact, he doesn't see that as platforming them.
He had Dr. Gupta on a month ago.
He's had controversial guests like Alex Jones, and that one was removed.
I think people are hungry to have open conversations, disagreements, debates, and they don't want to be told how to feel about it.
They want those people to have their conversation, and they want it to be up to them.
Just like when they watch TV and media and news, they want to make their own decisions.
Well, that's what we do on this show, right?
We talk about what we think, we talk about how we feel.
John, there it is.
But that's what we do.
We do that.
We do that.
How come we don't have 11 million people on a podcast and 100 million dollars?
But that's what we do!
Well, that's what we do on this show, right?
I mean, we talk about what we think.
We talk about how we feel about certain issues.
But again, we are held to the ABC News standard because ABC News is our platform.
There it is.
If you have a company like this that is a money-making company, it's a yuggernaut for many talent, it just doesn't make sense.
And if you think about some of the other stuff that Rogan has said, I mean, he called, I think...
A trans woman, mixed martial artist, a man.
In terms of Islamophobia, he had the Proud Boys founder, Gavin McInnes.
He used his appearance to argue that Muslims are too inbred for the U.S. to accept as immigrants.
And in terms of racism, in 2013, he said that he's walking into a black neighborhood and he felt like he was walking into Africa and watching Planet of the Apes.
I understand he has a right to say that, but this platform needs to police.
Yes, Spotify, please note, Joe Rogan's a racist, a transphobe, and misogynist.
We're better, the view.
And we understand the law.
We understand the First Amendment, like this last ditty.
When it's hateful speech like you just described, is that equivalent to yelling fire in a crowded theater?
That's the question.
That's a very long conversation, but the yelling in a crowded theater may not be...
But it is a dangerous thing, and you're not supposed to do it.
Well, no, that's...
Well, then rather you didn't.
How dumb is Joy Behar?
She believes that yelling...
There's no depth to her stupidity.
It's as wide and...
Do you think that at some point someone will actually argue that hate speech is the equivalent of yelling fire in a crowded movie theater because it could get a trans woman killed?
This has been already done.
I didn't know that.
People have made this assertion.
I have not heard this.
They did it right there, almost.
Well, this is the first time I've really heard it, like, the comparison with the yelling fire.
I haven't heard it.
Oh, okay.
Well, that shouldn't stick, obviously.
Same thing.
Hate speech, yelling fire.
Same thing.
Yeah.
So, podcasts, they can't stand it.
And they're seeing their own demise in front of them, and I think that they're all interviewing for a job over at Spotify.
Hey, man, we didn't throw you under the bus, okay?
Promote my show.
It sounds like that to me, too.
I think the point you made it early, and you probably should have pounded on it, which was, they don't feel this way about Twitter.
Take them off!
On Twitter, he said something cross-eyed.
Get them off!
Get them off!
Yeah, they just don't want...
Remove him!
Yeah, they just don't want to say it about Spotify because they know.
They know.
That's your future when you're fired.
That's where everybody goes.
Podcast.
Ex-president, podcast.
Yeah, podcast.
That's all you got to do.
Podcast.
There was something or a way I missed it.
I couldn't get in, but it was something about the...
I don't know.
These people don't even know how to do a podcast.
This looks like a video podcast.
I mean, this kind of stuff that they're doing on this show is very podcast-like.
Horrible.
Just a bunch of numb nuts yelling at each other.
Okay.
Well, yes, podcasting is under attack and it's going to continue to be so because it's an outlet.
Yeah.
That they don't control.
There's nobody doing the moderating.
No.
Why should there be?
But I think it's important to reiterate that we are, as you point out in the newsletter, we're an independent network.
We're independent from everything, which is why we're under the radar and why we don't make anything near that kind of money.
But we're independent.
We get to do our thing.
We're very happy about it.
We're supported by over a million people all around Gitmo Nation.
and you do it by supporting us with value for value i'm gonna show myself by donating to no agenda imagine all the people who could do that oh yeah that'd be a fab and we do have a few people to thank for show 1420 uh And guess what's coming?
Guess what's coming?
1421.
Yeah.
Is there something big about 1421 I should know about?
No.
Okay.
Well, yeah.
Both divide.
You've got seven.
Seven is a common denominator for 14 and 21.
Oh, okay.
Two times seven.
That'll do it.
And three times seven.
So it's 23.
Show 23.

They won't let us ship.
No agenda.
Meet up.
Yeah, yeah.
Always like a party.
I think I had a meetup report here from...
What are you doing, man?
You crashing stuff all over the place?
I had the...
Oh, crap.
Millennial Mel.
Yeah, and I thought I had it all set, and now I can't play.
Do you have it in front of you, Millennial Mel?
No, I do not, but I can get it.
Why don't you get it, and I'll play the two audio reports.
The first one is an old one, but it finally got through to me.
This is from the January 9th Arlington Meetup.
I think that's Spook Central.
Hey, John and Adam.
In the morning, it's DC Girl.
It's January 9th, and we're hanging out at our Arlington meetup in the morning.
Hello.
This is Roundy.
I'm hatching diabolical plans involving art and chaos.
This is a plan from NPR. No, not that NPR. Newport Ritchie.
I met a woman at the meetup today who told me she wants freedom from the facts and freedom from the mess.
So, Brian, quiet sometime, John.
Hey, this is Sir William of West Pennsylvania.
Train's good, plane's bad.
In the morning!
In the morning!
Then we had the Central Indiana meetup, which was just this past week on the 23rd.
In the morning, John and Adam, this is John C. Fangirl Brittany Baxter at the Central Indiana ITM Tribal Meetup.
This is our third successful meetup, and I want to thank Maria and Mark for keeping this Zephyr chugging.
But one question, John, why did you visit Na Bone, Indiana?
In the morning, this is my second meetup in Indianapolis.
My father-in-law, who hit me in the mouth, who attended this time, and immediately identified me as the spook, seeing as how I work for the DLB. In the morning.
This is Ted from Indianapolis.
I'm drinking beer and snorting chemtrails.
This is Dodie from Indianapolis.
In the morning!
This is Emily from Ohio, now in Indianapolis.
Steven is still a douchebag.
This is Bruce here from Indy.
Hi, John Adam.
Name's Swanee.
In the morning!
Hello, gentlemen.
This is Sir Benny of the Country Gentlemen, wishing you the best.
Woo-hoo!
In the morning, this is Nick from Indianapolis.
I'm 75% Dutch and 0% vaccinated.
Thanks, guys.
In the morning, John and Adam.
This is Sam, originally from Paris.
And China is still asshole.
Hi, this is Maria.
And this is Mark.
We go as Eminem.
We love the show, and we love organizing it, hopefully on a monthly basis.
And John, I have to say, Mimi is a treasure.
In the morning!
Oh, that's very nice.
She is.
I got the note here from Millennial Mel.
Hi, John and Adam.
Mel here.
I'd like to be traveling the world again, but fate plopped me here in Oregon.
I'd like to never...
I never would have chosen this location by myself, but it's really beautiful.
And the best part is the only people I know here are people I've met through the NA community.
Very strong health freedom advocacy movement.
Small but passionate and inspiring.
I'm going to stay here and fight with them for a while before running off somewhere else.
Especially since the No Agenda community has been helping me find unmasked work.
That's nice.
They're so great.
Meetup report.
Birthday bash meetup was great.
Besides me, there were four classic Portland attendees.
Shout out to Scott, Charles, Tim, and Terry and four all-new members of the family, some of whom have been listening for 10 years and finally came out to a meetup because it was out in Beaverton suburbs and not in central Portland.
Thanks for coming, Eric, Mike, Brian, and Tim.
We drank beers and ate Detroit-style deep-dish pizza.
Which is an actual style of pizza.
Yes, it is.
And wished our nice server could take off his mask and join the party.
I got a cast iron pan as a birthday present, proving that no agenda of friendships are not only fun and freeing, but practical too.
Love you all and see you the next time.
Of course, now that I live in Oregon, instead of Nashville or New San Francisco, there's no chance of me running into Adam or John at a meetup.
Oh, well, maybe somewhere, someday.
Stay sane!
Thanks, Millennial Mel.

NoagendaMeetups.com.
Guaranteed a party.
Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
You want to be where you want me.
Triggered or held the blame.
You want to be where everybody feels the same.
It's like a party.
You have ISOs, right?
I think you have ISOs.
I saw you had ISOs.
Do you have any?
I do have ISOs.
Why don't you play yours first?
Okay, let me do that.
Oh no!
That's not really good.
I just thought it was cute.
Not good for an ISO, but I like the terror children.
Welcome to the human race.
There's that one, and this one may have legs.
So, so good, right?
Kind of like that one.
Yeah, I thought that was decent.
Okay, I've got America.
Okay, oops, hold on a second.
Iso-America, here we go.
America, home of the free.
Okay, yeah.
Well, it's nice and clear.
Yeah.
And this one here is, the next one, the only other one I have is Does Not Matter.
Well, it doesn't matter now, does it?
Ooh, that's kind of a toss-up.
So, so good, right?
How about that double?
We do this once in a while.
Listen to this.
Okay, okay.
Yours first, followed by mine.
So, so good, right?
Well, it doesn't matter now, does it?
Ooh, I think we have a wiener.
That is nice.
We get so excited by the dumbest things.
Okay.
We do.
So good, right?
We jacked up.
Yeah, I know.
I can't believe it.
Oh, we're so lucky.
I have two possible clips for the end, for my end.
First, I have this just because it's so annoying that you're Texas.
First, you have another show on Fox with, what's his name, that blonde Texas guy who used to be a congressman and now he's got a show on Fox and then he brings in another congressman.
Trey Gowdy?
Yeah.
Oh, that guy's annoying.
He's annoying.
So he brings on the guy with the patch, Crawford or whatever his name is.
Who just listened to him say, look, and he couches it in a million different ways, and I've highlighted each one of them as he answers his little question.
I think he sets a record for the most look comments in a short list in a minute.
This is under Texas voting law.
And that's always the hallmark of a professional broadcaster with his own show on a national network is someone who says, look, a lot.
Well, no, he's not saying, look, Crawford says it.
Oh, Crawford says it.
Who is this Crawford?
This guy, Gowdy used to say it all the time.
Here we go.
This year, the state of Texas passed an election law bill and a new redistricting bill.
And the Biden Department of Justice sued Texas.
With respect to both, both the new redistricting map and the new election law.
As a general rule, you don't mess with Texas.
And one reason you don't mess with Texas is because it's home to a guy named Dan Crenshaw.
And he joins us now.
Congressman, first of all, thank you for your service to our country.
Okay.
Just so we remember, Dan Crenshaw, World Economic Forum, Young Global Leaders.
What does this Texas election law do, and why did Texas think it was necessary?
Look, the Texas election law is very transparent, and frankly, it's a little boring.
It doesn't do a whole lot of things the Democrats says it does.
It just cleans things up.
It cleans up the processes.
It does things like, look, make all the early voting times the same across counties so that people don't get confused.
Put additional ID requirements on mail-in ballots.
Because, look...
There's a bipartisan 2005 Commission on Elections that specifically stated, and this was bipartisan by the way, that mail-in ballots are the source of a lot of different frauds.
So we're just cleaning up some of these things so that there's less opportunities for fraud.
It doesn't make it harder to vote.
It makes it easier to vote.
In many cases, we have weeks of early voting in Texas.
It's extremely easy to vote.
Look, there's a few things that are true here.
One, the voter suppression lie is just that.
It's a lie.
It's a myth.
Number two, no one believes the myth.
About 80% of voters believe in voter ID. And 44% of Americans also believe that we have two lacks of voting laws to prevent fraud.
And look, the Texas law doesn't do any of that.
Yeah, Dan Crenshaw needs to go.
You know why?
Because this young global leader of the World Economic Forum, look him up, he's on the website, he was all for a database of who was vaccinated and who was not vaccinated.
Look, yes he was.
Look.
All in on it.
So that guy is just no good.
He has to be run out of town.
The eye patch is not convincing me that you're a good guy.
Sorry.
Just no.
It's traitorous.
Now, Not Traitorous is the next show that's coming up live on noagendastream.com.
And of course, trolls, welcome to hang out.
Trollroom.io.
Planet Rage is coming up next.
Another show Darren O'Neill does.
Holy crap, man.
He's out of control!
He is out of control.
What to do with him?
Hey, we received exactly zero end-of-show mixes, so I did a grab out of the bag, and I got a Sir Ned, and a classic, a classic K-Tel hit album compilation that everybody loves.
And 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 everyone's looking forward to Maxine Waters becoming the next justice of the Supreme Court.
I'm voting for her.
I haven't really got a vote.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
Yeah, I'd like that as well.
You know why?
Great show material.
We'll see you on Sunday, everybody.
Until then, remember us at dvorak.org slash na.
And adios, mofos!
and such.
www.fema.org
www.fema.org Oh, oh, and with John C. Dvorak.
Don't forget, give them value for their value.
Don't wanna be a douchebag.
Don't want to be a douchebag.
Don't want to be a douchebag.
CDC.
Hey.
CDC's greatest hits.
CDC.
Hey.
Now available with proof of vaccination.
You've been fast as trial.
You'll get all-time classics like.
I got a chair.
It's been too long.
I'm going to be fast.
Yes, I got the douche.
I took two.
Tell me not to fault you what you want me to do.
Because I'm fast.
Enter to win a signed copy of the album by Brian Johnson & Johnson.
We'll be right back.
I took the first vaccine doing quarantine.
It was the worst damn shakes I have ever seen.
I'm never a legendary.
It's like quarantine for just two weeks.
Stay away from me for just six feet.
S.A.C. will tell you lies.
S.A.C. and ignore all your cries.
Help me!
Oh, I guess!
Are you alright?
I'm posing!
I'm shaking!
I'm shaking!
Help me!
So, so good, right?
