	I would call it a conspiracy.
	Yes.
	Adam Couric, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Sunday, February 20th, 2022.
	This is your award-winning Get My Nation Media assassination episode 1427.
	This is No Agenda.
	Cackling with Kamala and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country.
	And here in FEMA Region No.
	6 in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where it turns out that the Queen is simpatico with my co-host.
	She has the COVID. I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill in the morning.
	Well, not only that.
	Oh, wait.
	Are you talking about the Queen of England?
	Yeah.
	Oh.
	Elizabeth II, your buddy.
	Oh, no.
	I thought you meant Tina the Keeper.
	She does?
	She has COVID? My queen has the koof.
	Well, that's what she got for kissing you.
	As soon as you told me that, that was the end.
	No, we did not kiss.
	She gave you a kiss on the cheek.
	You said so yourself.
	Correct, but that was Thursday.
	And you think that's what did it?
	Not the lying in bed?
	No, no, no.
	I know exactly what's going on.
	We'll have to talk about the queen in a moment.
	However, there is now a study.
	Here it is.
	Darren O'Neill turned me on to the study.
	The study suggests...
	You guys are talking again?
	No, I still hate him, but we can talk.
	The study suggests that attractive people have stronger immune systems.
	So, no wonder, no wonder it's taken us so long, John.
	And of course, for Tina to be even longer than me is obvious when it comes to attractivity.
	You, however, sir, you just take the cake.
	You take it with how beautiful you are.
	How beautiful you are.
	In mind and spirit.
	Yeah, so the Queen of England has tested positive.
	By the way, I am back to 98% here.
	And I was really fine, actually, yesterday.
	Good.
	And so the total number of days is 13 days for me.
	And I don't think there's any relapse.
	I've heard other people say the same thing.
	Then the next comment is the rug got pulled out from under me.
	What is kind of funny is Tina, last night she says...
	How did you ever do the show?
	Oh yeah, well that's different.
	How did you ever do the show?
	So the Queen, I'm thinking the following in there just can't be any coincidences if there's no conspiracy theories.
	Here's the things that happened.
	Andrew did a deal.
	Prince Andrew did a deal with Geoffrey.
	Geoffrey Hillary.
	Geoffrey, yeah.
	So that happened.
	Then we have number two, Luc Brunel, suicide himself in a French prison.
	And the cameras were off, coincidentally.
	Look, man, if you're going to kill yourself, you do it right.
	You don't want anyone to see it.
	It's nasty.
	And we know that Charles and Camilla have already been rehearsing for his coronation in a smallish type setting.
	So they're not going to go all out.
	So I think it's time.
	Whether she's been dead or there was some...
	Some video of her like, well, I can't walk!
	I can't have subscribed to that theory personally.
	It just needed the timing right.
	And now it's like COVID. Man, when you're 90, what is she now, 96, I think?
	She's 95, I think.
	I don't think she's 96 yet.
	She tested positive.
	She's experiencing, according to the WAPO, mild cold-like symptoms.
	Well, that is kind of what it is, but it could put you under.
	I mean, if you get a little bit of pneumonia to go with it, And Tina has a little bit different symptoms.
	She has real pain between her shoulder blades, where I had lower back, and she started off with huge sinus pressure and stuff like that.
	So if that happens to the queen, or who knows?
	She's dead.
	Let's just admit it.
	She's gone.
	She's a goner.
	I wonder if you ever got this shot.
	Probably.
	Just so we don't gloss over it.
	Where is it here?
	Because I happen to have two clips.
	Let's just get these out of the way.
	An investigation is underway in Paris after a close associate of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel, was found dead this morning in his prison cell.
	As lawyers say, he died by suicide.
	Brunel was charged with the rape and the trafficking of minors and was awaiting trial.
	Epstein also died by suicide in a New York City jail back in 2019.
	I love how they just deadpan that.
	Everybody's dying of suicide.
	I mean, these...
	Men who are multi, multi-millionaires.
	I mean, yeah, you just might as well kill yourself.
	Now, I think this next report, which is from NBC, is also kind of telling, because we're at two out of three according to this.
	He was a close confidant of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and a former French modeling agent facing charges of his own.
	Tonight, Jean-Luc Brunel is dead, found in his Paris prison cell hanged with his bedsheets, according to the Paris prosecutor's office.
	Authorities believe the 75-year-old died by suicide.
	It comes less than three years after Epstein was found dead in a Manhattan prison under similar circumstances.
	His death has been ruled a suicide.
	Brunel was awaiting trial after several former models accused him of rape and sexual harassment when they were minors.
	What he was accused of in the context of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein was using his position as a modeling scout to lure women to be abused by Epstein and by himself.
	In a statement, Brunel's lawyers maintain their client's innocence, writing in part, his decision was not driven by guilt, but by a deep sense of injustice.
	It's the latest twist in the sprawling saga of Jeffrey Epstein, coming just days after Prince Andrew, another Epstein associate, settled a sexual abuse lawsuit against him without admitting wrongdoing.
	And in December, Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted of luring young girls to be abused by Epstein.
	She has requested a new trial.
	Tonight, Maxwell's brother calls this latest death in the Epstein orbit incomprehensible.
	Do you fear for your sister's safety?
	Yeah, I certainly do.
	I'm not a conspiracy theory person, but if you were a conspiracy theory person, obviously you would say, well...
	Why is he laughing?
	Why is he laughing?
	I'm not a...
	Do you fear for your sister's safety?
	Yeah, I certainly do.
	Do you fear for your sister's safety?
	Yeah, I do.
	No, she's not even in jail, bro.
	Then the Epstein orbit, incomprehensible.
	Do you fear for your sister's safety?
	That's why I was laughing.
	I certainly do.
	I'm not a conspiracy theory person, but if you were a conspiracy theory person, obviously you would say, well, you know, these things happen in threes and no doubt Gillen is going to be taken out for whatever fantasy reason people seem to think about.
	But for Brunel's accusers?
	With Brunel's death, as with Epstein's death, many victims say that they still feel as though they've been denied that closure and that accountability.
	So just listening to her brother there, she's not in jail.
	She's not in jail!
	A couple of things.
	Yeah, I agree with that.
	But, you know, I hate to be the bearer of bad news.
	Yeah.
	But I don't remember this Brunel guy being part of the picture.
	No!
	He wasn't into news.
	It's like a sideshow.
	No, no, hold on.
	No, I'm sorry.
	Hold on.
	Brunel was an integral part of the story.
	Yeah, okay.
	Well, I understand that now, but I don't remember his name.
	Yeah.
	I do.
	Okay, well good.
	I'm glad you do.
	I'm sad you don't.
	You seem somewhat suspect yourself.
	About what?
	The other thing is, I didn't know Ghislaine had a brother.
	Hold on a sec.
	Excuse me.
	What do you mean I seem somewhat suspect myself?
	What are you saying?
	I'm just kidding.
	Oh, okay.
	Why are you laughing?
	Why are you laughing?
	I'm laughing because if anyone is suspect, it's you, Gadfly.
	I don't remember this brother guy.
	I mean, I even know her sister, because she used to be on Silicon Spin all the time.
	And I never knew there was a brother, a chuckling brother that was involved.
	So I'm figuring that this whole thing shouldn't even be discussed.
	I mean, it seems to me that by the media, because it's just, it's water under the bridge.
	What is this guy?
	Water under the bridge.
	What is this guy's name?
	They didn't really introduce him in that clip.
	I don't remember.
	Maybe if you look one of the two of them up, Ghislaine's wiki page, it would be a brother mentioned.
	But when did this guy show up?
	Ian.
	Ian.
	Ian Maxwell.
	Hmm.
	He just showed up.
	He did an interview with The Telegraph.
	No, this is back in November.
	October, November.
	Hmm.
	What does he do?
	Well, I guess he's the last ditch when you're in the mainstream media and you can't get anyone else to come to the mic because they're all dead.
	Yeah.
	Hmm.
	We're going to have to look into this guy.
	I mean, there's...
	Anyway.
	You just...
	For him to be sitting there chuckling, oh, it comes in threes.
	Oh, yes.
	You'd think she'd be in trouble.
	It's not going to be taken out.
	No, taken out.
	Yeah, no, that's not going to happen.
	He just said so.
	When is somebody going to reintroduce the term rubbed out?
	Rubbed out.
	Well, that's kind of been hijacked by other...
	Other meanings.
	Yeah, by the family guy, to be honest about it.
	I would say that would be the main culprit, yes.
	Before we get into talking about, I think we're going to talk about COVID and the Russian.
	Yeah, Russian.
	And I normally don't start this show by pushing these clips, but I have three C-SPAN call-in clips that, to me, summarize the situation we're in.
	Okay, let's do it.
	There's a Democrat, there's a Republican, and then there's the Independent.
	Okay, good.
	And this is calling to what?
	Which show?
	They're calling in because they're going to talk about, not so much Canada, but mostly about Ukraine.
	Yeah.
	And so they're talking about Ukraine.
	What do you think?
	Instead of having the crazy lines, it's just the Democrat, Republican, Independent lines.
	And so you end up with these, I don't want to say they're, I think it's epitomite, this is what the media has done to the public at large.
	This is what I'm thinking.
	The media has turned the Democrats into one animal, the Republicans into another, and then the independents, which it's just like, I guess they've just gone out of control.
	Let's start with C-SPAN, call in, let's start with the Republican.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	Let's go to Clarence in Columbus on the Republican line.
	Good morning, Clarence.
	Good morning.
	I do believe that Putin will advance his forces into Ukraine, and I would just suggest that the Ukrainians evacuate and come to our southern border.
	They will be welcome, and our taxpayers will flip the bill.
	Thank you.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Yeah, no, that's, yes, well, there you go.
	That's this man also to be found on Twitter, no doubt.
	Now let's go ahead and listen to what the Democrat has to say.
	We'll go to Craig next in Prescott Valley, Arizona, on the Democrats' line.
	Yes, I think what we should do is, with our strong leader, Donald Trump, is send a couple love letters over to Russia.
	I find it amazing that the Republicans talk tough when we're talking about mask mandates, but yes, they're weaklings when they talk about war.
	Thank you.
	What?
	Not warmongering enough, Republicans.
	Yeah.
	Oh, and this, of course, is being billed as we're on the brink of World War III, and yet all people can think of is politics.
	Yeah, this is Thank You Media.
	That's sad, sad.
	Well, then, of course, now we have the pathetic Democrat warmongers and the obsessive Republicans.
	So how has...
	What has happened to the independents?
	Well, let's see where he...
	You can only imagine.
	Let's see what he has to say.
	I shudder.
	Go ahead and take our first call, which is Mike.
	He's calling us on the independent line from Miami, Florida.
	Good morning.
	Hi.
	Hi.
	My question is, we're worried about Ukraine.
	The Russians are 90 miles away from us right here in Cuba.
	Why don't we, if Vladimir Putin decides to invade Ukraine, why don't we annex Mexico and invade Cuba?
	Mexico should have been part of the United States from way back when.
	And I'm sure most of the people in Mexico would support them being part of the United States.
	So Mike, do you think that Cuba is a threat to the United States?
	Well, they're down in Venezuela.
	What do you think?
	Who do you think is instigating all this traffic coming in?
	They're bankrolling it.
	They know it's hurting our economy.
	You think the Russians are?
	Hello?
	Yes, I'm here, Mike.
	Go ahead.
	Yeah, I mean, they're big time.
	They've got bases all over.
	We don't even know where all they have bases down in South America.
	And like I said, they're 90 miles away from us in Cuba.
	They're supporting Cuba.
	Why haven't we taken Cuba?
	Alright, let's go to Bill.
	Well, that's it.
	There's no sane people left.
	Except for No Agenda Nation.
	That's about it.
	That's about it, and it's a small number.
	Well, also, I will say that if you segregate callers by political flavor, you're already kind of setting yourself up.
	What amazes me is one of our longtime producers, J.D. Donnelly, he was trying to clear a clip from C-SPAN for some project he's working on.
	They wanted to charge him $3,000 for drivel like this.
	It's just unbelievable.
	That's very...
	I think we can use the term problematic.
	Well, it's just...
	It was depressing.
	And all the calls were like that.
	You had the lunatic Republicans, the lunatic Democrats, and then these off-the-rail independents.
	What is this guy talking about?
	He's seriously...
	And then the way he snaps back at it when she asks a simple question.
	What do you think?
	It's unbelievable what's wrong.
	What's wrong with the public?
	I think the sequence for today, since, you know, Putin could invade at any moment, so we might as well talk about Russia first.
	No, no.
	He's going to invade at any moment.
	I'm sorry.
	Yes, he's already given the go.
	I thought it would be helpful to review briefly, since this show was on the air during the entire setup for this during the Obama administration.
	We deconstructed it all.
	We had...
	Close enough to boots on the ground of what was really happening in Maidan.
	There's ample evidence of this being a U.S. coup, including Victoria Nuland literally discussing who we're going to put into the government.
	Let's add a couple of other tidbits, which we cannot forget.
	How about this?
	What I was going to say is, I have an explainer that runs through the whole thing.
	Okay, I just want to make sure that we talk about her handing out donuts.
	Cookies, cookies, I think.
	I thought it was donuts.
	But cookies could have been.
	And then we have to remember John Brennan was there, too.
	John Brennan, John McCain, John Kerry, a lot of Johns.
	Who are we kidding?
	Okay, I'm sorry to interrupt.
	No, no, no, you're right.
	No, you're right.
	Thinking back on it, I just shake my head.
	It's so silly.
	Aaron Maté?
	He's a journalist for Grey Zone.
	He used to be a producer of Democracy Now, so by no stretch of the imagination is he a Trumper or right-wing.
	And he's on Jimmy Dore's show.
	Same stretch cannot be made for his political stance.
	And Aaron's a good writer, and he just went through this solid...
	Two and a half minutes of explaining exactly what happened and where we are today.
	And it's worth remembering.
	Late 2013, the Ukrainian president at the time, Yanukovych, he is going to sign this major agreement with the West.
	And it was one that the US and the EU were really, really pushing on him.
	And basically, it would have forced him to seriously curtail economic and cultural ties to Russia, which is Ukraine's neighbor.
	And it would bring Ukraine further into the Western orbit, which was a major goal of the U.S. regime change pro-war lobby at the time.
	The head of the National Endowment for Democracy, which is the regime change arm of the CIA, he wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post at the time calling Ukraine the biggest prize for the U.S. in its goal to basically undermine Russia.
	He explained that if Ukraine can come into the U.S. orbit, then that will actually have an impact in Russia and possibly lead to Vladimir Putin's overthrow and make every neocon in Washington the happiest neocons in the world.
	Pressures Yanukovych to sign this trade agreement.
	But there's a problem.
	Yanukovych realizes at the last minute, oh shit, if I sign this, I'm going to have to cut pensions and I'm going to have to cut energy subsidies.
	And this will doom my re-election campaign.
	This is not going to fly.
	So he gets cold feet.
	And Russia sweeps in and sees an opportunity.
	And they offer him a more generous trade association deal, which he then says he is going to sign.
	And they also use some coercive measures too.
	But the point is, he caves and says, I'm going to go with Russia.
	That then sets off these major protests against Yanukovych.
	And the U.S. gets firmly behind the protests.
	And there's a major part of those protests that are legitimate.
	They're anti-corruption.
	And Yanukovych was very corrupt.
	But the problem is, there's also an element that is fascist and neo-Nazi.
	And they don't just want an end to corruption.
	They want regime change.
	And the U.S., as it often does, skillfully basically puts its weight behind the fascist elements.
	John McCain, Chris Murphy go over there, meet with a far-right leader, put their arms around him in Maidan.
	And all this culminates basically in a violent coup that forces Yanukovych to flee.
	And he does so only after there is an agreement brokered with the EU to hold new elections.
	And this coup undermines that.
	And the U.S. definitely is on the side of the far right because we know that now from that leaked phone call that came out around then that Victoria Nuland, who was then a top senior State Department official, she's now back working for Joe Biden, basically running his Ukraine policy again.
	There's a leaked phone call where she's speaking to the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine at the time, and they're picking the next Ukrainian prime minister.
	Nuland says Yats is the guy.
	And that's a reference to Yatsia, who, lo and behold, a few weeks later became the prime minister.
	So the U.S. was heavily involved in this coup, and that sets off this eight-year conflict that we're still dealing with now and that has led to this major geopolitical standoff.
	Russia responded to that coup by seizing Crimea because this new Ukrainian government was talking about joining NATO. And Russia was faced with the prospect of having NATO absorb its most important naval base in Crimea.
	So Putin took Crimea, which of course angered neocons in Washington, and you have the separatist war in the East Breakout.
	And for the separatist war, a major fighting force, and they've been integrated into the Ukrainian armed forces, is something called the Azov Battalion, which has its roots in Nazism.
	And if not a neo-Nazi militia now, I think they are.
	But even if you want to be generous, they're certainly neo-fascist.
	And that's who the U.S. is siding with inside of Ukraine.
	There you go.
	You're back up to speed.
	That's exactly how I recall it.
	Except for the donuts.
	And then the phone call was really the most egregious part.
	And I'll put our copy of it in three minutes so we don't have to play it.
	And that was, in fact, the quality.
	What do you think?
	I think we're in play.
	That's literally the level of quality of that phone call.
	Better than 90% of our clips.
	Better than Veritas.
	A lot better than Veritas, and we assumed that just to bring people back up to speed, the both of us assumed that it was Russia that tapped the call and leaked the call.
	Let's listen to a little bit of it anyway, just to get that vibe.
	Oh, it's a great call, yeah.
	What do you think?
	I think we're in play.
	In play!
	The Klitschko piece is obviously the complicated electron here.
	So what they're discussing is who is going to be the president, who is going to be in the cabinet, and what functions will they hold.
	And it's all U.S. shills.
	Especially the announcement of him as deputy prime minister.
	And you've seen some of my notes on the troubles in the marriage right now.
	So we're trying to get a read really fast on where he is on this stuff.
	But I think your argument to him, which you'll need to make, I think that's the next phone call we want to set up, is exactly the one you made to Yachts, and I'm glad you sort of put him on the spot on where he fits in this scenario.
	And I'm very glad he said what he said in response.
	Good.
	So, I don't think Cleach should go into the government.
	I don't think it's necessary.
	I don't think it's a good idea.
	That guy shouldn't go in.
	Yeah, I mean, I guess...
	You think, in terms of him not going into the government, just let him sort of stay out and do his political homework and stuff.
	I'm just thinking, in terms of sort of the process moving ahead, we want to keep the moderate Democrats together.
	The problem is going to be Tawnybrook and his guys.
	That was the boxer, I think, Tawnybrook.
	No, no, the boxer is Vitaly Kislev, who has to today be the mayor of Kiev.
	Ooh, it's Kiev, John.
	Or are you one of them now?
	No, no.
	I said Kiev.
	Ah, I'm sorry.
	I misunderstood.
	Good.
	I think we should just finish this out.
	I mean, crikey.
	Yeah, I might as well.
	I'm sure that's part of what Yanukovych is calculating on all of this.
	I think Yats is the guy who's got the economic experience, the governing experience.
	He's the guy.
	He's the guy.
	He needs his cleach and tiny book on the outside.
	He needs to be talking to them four times a week.
	I just think Cleach going in, he's going to be at that level working for Yatzenyuk.
	It's just not going to work.
	Yeah, no, I think that's right.
	Can't have him in.
	Good.
	Well, do you want to set up a call with him?
	Here's the next step.
	My understanding from that call that you tell me was that the Big Three were going into their own meeting and that Yatzenyuk was going to offer in that context a three-way, you know, three plus one conversation or three plus two with you.
	Is that not how you understood it?
	No, I mean, that's what he proposed.
	But I think just knowing the dynamic that's been with them where Klitschko has been the top dog, he's going to take a while to show up for whatever meeting they've got, and he's probably talking to his guys at this point.
	So I think you reaching out directly to him helps with the personality management among the three, and it gives you also a chance to...
	Okay, now we need to bring in somebody to make it all work.
	Okay, good.
	I'm happy.
	Why don't you reach out to him and see if he wants to talk before or after.
	Okay, will do.
	Thanks.
	Okay, I've now written, oh, one more wrinkle for you, Jeff.
	Yeah.
	I can't remember if I told you this or if I only told Washington this, that when I talked to Jeff Feltman this morning, he had a new name for the UN guy, Robert Sari.
	Did I write you that this morning?
	Yeah, I saw that.
	He's now gotten both Sari and Ban Ki-moon to agree that Sari could come in Monday or Tuesday.
	Okay.
	So that would be great, I think, to help glue this thing and have the UN help glue it.
	And, you know, fuck the EU. Ah, there it is!
	Oh, the people we are protecting now are partners in the EU. Our partners!
	This is why we're doing it.
	This is why the vice president, heroine that she is, has gone to Munich to fight that for our partners.
	The...
	Fuck the EU?
	While I'm driving off laughing, this is what I'll say.
	Fuck the EU.
	You know.
	Fuck the EU.
	Alright, just finish that.
	Fuck the EU.
	Fuck the EU.
	No, exactly.
	Fuck the EU.
	Okay.
	Here's...
	Every time we...
	We play this clip every couple years.
	Yeah.
	Um...
	And it dawns on me, probably every time, but it's like, how incompetent do you have to be to get to allow, knowing full well that even when I went to Russia, I was always told that everything that you do there is going to be recorded because the Russians love sound.
	Yes.
	And they like to record people.
	They record your phone calls.
	They record you in the hotel.
	They record everything they can.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	You have to know this, obviously, to be in the State Department.
	And to allow this phone call to be intercepted, and we'll just assume the fact this was intercepted by the Russians for the purpose of embarrassing Newland and her buddy there.
	And not only that, but like you said, the quality is so perfect.
	It's not like a scratchy phone call.
	To let this happen, we weren't using secure product, you know, these different kinds of scramblers and things that you can get.
	Even though they may be crackable, it seems unlikely.
	They didn't do that.
	They were just careless.
	And this is the kind of thing that bothers me the most about both the...
	The Obama administration and now the Biden administration.
	The carelessness, the cavalier attitude to let this happen is beyond me.
	That's the frightening part as far as I'm concerned.
	Well...
	There's another thing to consider.
	They were in Ukraine when this phone call was placed.
	Now, if you want people who know how to hack, you might as well call Ukraine.
	That would be one of my first calls in the Rolodex.
	So it's possible that it...
	What this doesn't sound like is a tap from the actual network.
	To me, it sounds like something on a device itself.
	And it sounds like it's hers.
	You know what I mean?
	That's recording from a high...
	That is not a cell phone call.
	Yeah, but that doesn't account for his quality.
	It's a little worse than hers.
	It's a little worse.
	But regardless, it's hubris and carelessness.
	And she's still, now she's back.
	This is what bothers me again.
	It's the best part.
	No, it's the best part.
	She's the F to EU girl and she is now back.
	I love the EU. You think they forgot this?
	Yes, it was not reported.
	No one, I mean, the actual people who run stuff might remember.
	This was not reported.
	There was maybe one or two articles and they had, you know, expletive.
	She was mad.
	She was mad on that phone call.
	Hey, you know what?
	I work for CNN. Only I can access this.
	You don't have the right because you're not cleared.
	You don't have clearance to listen to this call.
	I mean, this whole thing was bull crap.
	And people died.
	Snipers were shooting people on both sides.
	It was horrible.
	And yeah, Vicky's handing out donuts, cookies, brownies, what have you.
	In the crowd.
	So before we go to Munich, because I know you have several...
	I have Munich.
	Yeah.
	Before we go there, let's just see what kind of fear-mongering and what kind of analysis was done by your M5M back home.
	Women, children, and the elderly packed onto buses in eastern Ukraine tonight.
	Part of a mass evacuation of citizens headed to Russia, they were told, for their own safety.
	Oh!
	Sirens blared with Russian-backed rebels who controlled a region warning that Ukrainian forces are about to attack.
	Also circulated today, video of what's left of a jeep rebels say blew up outside their headquarters in Donetsk.
	The region is not only controlled by Russian-backed separatists, but so are the images and information that come out of it.
	Russian media tonight also showed this video, described as an explosion affecting a pipeline in a rebel-held city.
	Ukrainian Ministry of Defense flatly denied claims they're planning aggressions and warned against false flag operations meant to trigger a war.
	Today's events follow a dramatic escalation in hostilities between Ukrainian government forces and Russian separatists in the east, including shelling that tore through the walls of a kindergarten in Ukraine yesterday.
	There it is.
	President Vladimir Putin blamed Ukraine for the deteriorating security situation.
	And ratcheting tensions even higher, Moscow's plans to hold nuclear exercises on Saturday to test ballistic and cruise missiles that President Putin himself can personally supervise.
	US officials now say Russia has amassed as many as 190,000 troops near the border of Ukraine, an increase from around 100,000 at the end of January.
	Edging even closer and awaiting further orders.
	Putin released a great video over the weekend of him in front of the, like in his war room, looking at all the drills and they got the MiGs taken off, you know, a la Top Gun with music.
	Yeah, he's managing it himself.
	Nuclear drills, not messing around.
	He was playing into it beautifully.
	I'm doing it myself.
	This calls for the big man.
	Let me take my shirt off.
	Hold on.
	I think he was like, oh, this is great.
	Let me play into this a little bit more.
	And CBS, CIA, broadcast systems, man, they were just all over the propaganda.
	Margaret, you've been covering this for weeks now.
	It's clear that things have escalated.
	What are some of the broader implications here?
	Well, the U.S., Jerika, is concerned that other autocratic countries like China may take a page out of Vladimir Putin's playbook.
	And the president said this would be a catastrophic war of choice.
	And it goes beyond Ukraine.
	As he describes it, he believes Vladimir Putin wants to reshape Europe and the global power alliance that has existed for the past 77 years.
	And in many ways, this is personal for President Biden.
	It was on his watch back in 2014 when he was vice president that he ran Ukraine policy.
	And that's when Vladimir Putin annexed Crimea, part of southern Ukraine, and fed the fighting in the east of the country.
	And he didn't pay a large price for that.
	So the concern now is Vladimir Putin may not stop there.
	What happens next will definitely impact the global economy.
	It could potentially create millions of refugees and it could possibly cost thousands of lives.
	Very, very disturbing.
	Wow.
	Very, very disturbing.
	Thank you.
	Wow.
	Could cost lives.
	Could make things expensive.
	CBS was unrelenting.
	For the first time, President Biden left no room for doubt over whether he believes Vladimir Putin will launch an invasion of Ukraine.
	You are convinced that President Putin is going to invade Ukraine.
	Is that what you just said a few minutes ago?
	Yes, I did.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	So is diplomacy off the table then?
	No.
	Until he does, diplomacy is always a possibility.
	The president revealed his assessment after holding a phone call with NATO allies amid the administration's all-out effort to prevent a war.
	He said there was reason to believe Russia would invade in the coming days.
	We're doing everything in our power to remove any reason that Russia may give to justify invading Ukraine and prevent them from moving.
	Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Vice President Kamala Harris are meeting with allies at a security conference in Munich.
	She is scheduled to see Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday.
	But some U.S. officials worry him leaving Ukraine would give Moscow a window to act.
	Oh!
	Oh, no!
	Well, this, of course, is scary.
	And this is where it started to fall apart for the M5M. Now, you couldn't see much of this on the actual M5M, but the first thing that happened is the German Chancellor had a little sit-down.
	This is the new sheriff in town.
	And was kind of a little wishy-washy about the plans, about the playbook for the U.S., I just want to get you to follow on to what we just heard from President Zelensky.
	He was essentially calling on Europe, calling on the United States, to sanction Putin now before he has the chance to invade Ukraine.
	How do you respond to that?
	We are supporting Ukraine with a lot of financial means in the past.
	Germany is doing this, I think, as the biggest donator in the past.
	The Union is doing its job.
	The United States are doing many others just for producing economic resilience.
	And on the other hand, we are absolutely prepared for a situation of a military aggression against Ukraine, saying Putin that if Russia invades Ukraine, this would have consequences and that we are ready to take decisions on sanctions.
	And different to the situations we had before, we are well prepared.
	We could take the decision immediately.
	In a very short time after an invasion would have taken place.
	And this is very helpful to my point of view because it's better to say we do it then instead of doing it now because we want to avoid the situation.
	We want to go into a direction where peace is having a chance.
	Peace having a chance?
	Avoid small aircraft.
	Stupid man.
	Do you know the forces you're up against?
	And then...
	We're in Munich.
	And Ukraine President Zelensky starts off with a little bit of a ruckus by saying, hey, you know what?
	I'm not going to start until I know the translators are listening.
	Everybody can hear exactly what I want to say.
	We now cut across to Munich where the Ukrainian President Zelensky giving an address.
	Let's cut across and listen in.
	Thanks so much.
	I will wait 15 seconds because I want to be understandable from the very beginning.
	Okay.
	We can.
	Thank you so much.
	Peace.
	Europe is longing for peace.
	The world is saying it doesn't want any war, while Russia is claiming she doesn't want to intervene.
	Someone here is lying.
	Someone here is lying!
	Oh no!
	I'm sure they played this clip over and over again on CNN, didn't they?
	I don't know.
	I don't think so.
	They're slightly different tact on NPR. Ah, yeah, of course.
	And this is...
	Just to jump into this before I play...
	There's a couple of key clips I wanted to...
	I'm going to jump over them and play this.
	This is the Ukraine Zelenskyy I. Hold on a second...
	Sitting down with Harris, Zelensky thanked Vice President Harris for U.S. help and support over the years, but later in the day, he questioned why Western allies were waiting for the, quote, bombardment to begin, end quote, before imposing new sanctions against Moscow.
	Oh, there you go.
	NPR White House correspondent Franco Ordonez is traveling with the Vice President, and he is with us now to tell us more.
	Franco, welcome.
	Thanks for joining us.
	Thank you, Michelle.
	So what more can you tell us about the meeting between the Vice President and the Ukraine President Zelensky?
	You know, it was largely a symbolic meeting, but it was an important one because it was a message that the United States was supporting Zelensky.
	The two took pictures together before sitting down.
	Harris told Zelensky that the United States took the threats against Ukraine seriously.
	She said that the United States supports Ukraine's sovereignty and its borders.
	And she emphasized that Russia would pay a very heavy price if it invades Ukraine.
	How did Zelensky respond?
	He told her that the main thing that he was seeking was peace for Ukraine.
	He did raise the possibility of seeking some more assistance and resources for his army.
	The US has been supplying ammunition and equipment for the Ukrainian military.
	Zelensky was very thankful for the support the U.S. had provided.
	And, you know, they were meeting on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference.
	This is an annual get-together of global security leaders.
	And he spoke later to the larger conference.
	And in that conversation, his message shifted a bit.
	He's a fair-weather friend.
	No, he's, I think, wondering about this, it needs a little analysis, because it's shifted.
	Let's play the shifting part.
	This is part two, and then you can hear what, and this is worth discussing.
	Particularly during a Q&A portion of his presentation.
	That's when he was kind of critical of the West for not imposing sanctions when some have already claimed that Putin had made a decision to invade.
	Then what are you waiting for?
	We don't need your sanctions after...
	The bombardment will happen and after our country will be fired at or after we will have no borders or after we will have no economy or parts of our countries will be occupied.
	Why would we need those sanctions then?
	It's clear that Zelensky and the Ukrainians are not satisfied though with the pace of the diplomatic efforts that are ongoing.
	The Ukrainian president was also asked about his country joining NATO. What did he say?
	He said that Ukraine needs security guarantees.
	He said they understood that there are steps that need to be taken, but that NATO should be more clear about what they are and actually how long they're going to take.
	Be honest about it.
	Open doors are good, but we need open answers, but not the years and years of closed questions.
	You know, he said that Ukraine should not be a buffer between Russia and the West.
	So, Franco, can we step back just a little bit?
	Harris took part in a Q&A, and she was asked a lot about the strength of the transatlantic alliance and its future.
	What did she say about that?
	Yeah, she was asked about whether the alliance can survive, particularly after four years of former President Donald Trump's America First approach to foreign policy.
	There's been some uncertainty about whether the alliance can last, past the Biden administration even, and she was asked about that.
	She said this is an issue that is important to the administration, but also to the United States.
	And she pointed to the dozens of members of Congress from both parties, I'll add, who were there at the Munich Conference.
	She mentioned that they don't often agree, but they did agree on this issue.
	First of all, let's go to that last thing first.
	Yeah.
	A bunch of guys showed up in Munich to drink beer.
	And so that proves that we were all in on NATO. And it's not a NATO conference.
	It was the security conference that they had in Munich.
	I'd like to tell you a little bit about this conference.
	I did a quick dive.
	Just so you understand who is here and what this is about.
	Understand that Christiane Anampur was one of the moderators.
	Globalist shill from CNN. Completely inappropriate for her to be and moderating and reporting.
	Jane Harriman, that mindless twat.
	I hate that woman.
	You know who I'm talking about?
	Oh, yeah.
	And she is also a moderate.
	I just want to slap her in the face.
	So let's just look at the advisory council so we understand why people are here.
	The chairman is Joe Kaiser, who is also on the board of Siemens Energy Munich.
	Siemens is a war company.
	Paul Altleitner.
	He is from Deutsche Bank.
	Prince Turkey, Al-Faisal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.
	Well, do I have to tell you why he's there?
	Oliver Beta, Allianz.
	Banking.
	This is all bankers.
	Okay, then we have the Prime Minister of Foreign Affairs of Sweden.
	Then we have an EU shill, and then we have Thomas Enders, Council on Foreign Relations.
	Then we have a China shill, Fu Ying.
	Then we have a bank from Moscow.
	We've got a couple of, what do you call them?
	Come from K Street, the lobbyists, and then we have, now it gets interesting, the Hoover Institution, the Envoy for Climate, the Federal Minister of Defense from Germany, David Miliband, Frederica Mogherini, she's the High Representative for Foreign Affairs of the EU, and of course, Alexander Soros.
	I mean, come on!
	This is a warmongering group!
	It's all about money, and even Jane Harriman was continuously, well, you know, Putin's got supersonic weapons, so we need supersonic weapons.
	This costs a lot of money.
	It is a sales conference, as far as I'm concerned.
	Well, it definitely wasn't not a NATO deal.
	It's not NATO at all.
	So that...
	So that answer that Harris gave at that Q&A, it had nothing to do with NATO, so it's full of crap.
	But let's go back to what happened with Zelensky, where he all of a sudden said, hey, why don't you do the sanctions now?
	The reason for that, it seems to me, and I think it's You know, he's a comedian and not as much of a statesman and doesn't understand a lot of the bull crap that goes on, including the joke he made that CNN took seriously, which is another story.
	But he hears that Biden comes out and says...
	I have the Biden clip just so we can reiterate it.
	This is the Biden play.
	This Biden...
	I think this is Biden's newest prediction.
	You know, look, we have reason to believe the Russian forces are planning to and intend to attack Ukraine in the coming week, in the coming days.
	We believe that they will target Ukraine's capital key, a city of 2.8 million innocent people.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	So that's...
	So Biden comes out and he's cocksure.
	He says intelligence sources.
	And in fact, at the end, he gets into a beef with this reporter and walks off the stage.
	And by the way, I caught something which I'll play later with some laughing and some commentary that was left on one of the clips.
	And I thought I understood what it said the first time, but then I've jacked it up.
	Now I'm going to need help, but hearing what they said.
	But...
	So, you're Zelensky and you hear that he's made the decision, he's going in.
	So, Zelensky, all of a sudden, it dawns on him later and is thinking, going, wait a minute, if this is a done deal, let's do the sanctions now.
	Ah, but wait, maybe it was a lie.
	Someone's lying here.
	He said that.
	He said that.
	Someone's lying here.
	Yeah, he said that's what he ended up saying.
	Someone's lying.
	I don't know where that fits into the timeline, but whatever the case is, this is Biden getting himself into a jam with his bullshit.
	He doesn't know what Putin's thinking.
	He doesn't know that he's going in.
	It's my opinion that Putin's not going in.
	I wrote about it already saying this bullcrap, but listen to this little clip from Colonel Jack.
	This is Colonel Jack Jacobs.
	Oh, yeah, I got this.
	This is great.
	On CNBC, he just makes this offhanded comment as he goes off, you know, they brought him on for some analysis.
	And listen to what he has to say, which makes nothing but sense to me.
	...be on our side after a year or 18 months of this stuff.
	And not to be snarky, but just as an aside...
	Make believe that you're Putin and his henchmen living in a country, an autocratic country with no controls and no oversight.
	And you decide to do the following.
	You go long energy, you're short the Dow, and then you put 150,000 troops on the border with Ukraine.
	And then every once in a while you say, well, we pulled them back just after you've squared up and you keep doing it.
	You know, lather, rinse, repeat.
	You keep doing this and you make yourself a trillion dollars.
	It's good insurance against any problems that the United States might impose with sanctions, Joe.
	Yep.
	I had that clip too.
	Yeah.
	But the thing is, he's saying, oh, that's what Vladimir Putin's doing.
	How about every other douchebag on Wall Street is doing this?
	Take a look at the Lockheed Martin stock.
	Hold on, I have an ABC short clip that is about this.
	Tonight, a far-off conflict squeezing Americans at the cash register.
	Just so you know, the far-off conflict is squeezing Americans at the register.
	It's Putin!
	That's what inflation is.
	Tonight, a far-off conflict squeezing Americans at the cash register.
	What?
	Not only is our energy bill up, but our grocery bill is up.
	Our gas for our vehicles, that's up as well.
	Americans already coping with a 7.5% annual rate of inflation, the highest since 1982.
	This week, watching oil hit its highest level since 2014 and gas prices 40% higher than this time last year.
	With worse likely, if Russia goes all in against Ukraine.
	We'd probably be talking about maybe a $20 or $30 a barrel hit, and it could be even more dramatic.
	With ripple effects throughout our oil-dependent, transportation-driven consumer economy.
	Higher fuel expenses for trucking companies, logistics.
	Airlines are going to likely have to pass along higher jet fuel prices in the months ahead.
	So it's all going to trickle down, no more prevalent than at a grocery store.
	For Sydney Naseri and her fiancé, staying on budget means reimagining a night out.
	Date nights pretty much include like pasta nights at home.
	Small investors are getting hit hard too by a volatile stock market.
	Fidelity data show that the average American 401k retirement saver lost $1,800 this week alone.
	So subplot, subplot now that I'm thinking about it, could this also be used?
	Oh my goodness.
	So, oh, this is an interesting way of looking at it.
	Could this also be used as, A, an excuse for inflation?
	Because that's clearly what this woman just said from ABC. It's like, oh no, these prices you're seeing in the grocery store, that's because of a conflict far away.
	And then you have a measurement that Americans can get behind.
	So if you are going to, I don't know, make Kamala the heroine of all this, then you see the oil prices drop, gas prices, saved or created the economy.
	It's a subplot, but I think there's something there, something to be used.
	Never let a crisis go to waste.
	Well, that brings us to Harris.
	Yeah.
	Now, I watched her speech and I watched all I could find.
	It was...
	She's...
	She had an...
	Okay, she did...
	As far as I can tell, she has read the script.
	She did the hand gestures, you know, the thumb, pointing with the thumb and all that stuff.
	She actually...
	She did one of her point with the finger and then she remembered...
	Oh, shoot, don't do that.
	Do the thumb thing.
	Like you're handing someone a business card.
	You...
	It was boring.
	She had no spice.
	There was nothing she added.
	There were no ad-libs.
	Completely safe.
	Let's take another look at her doing this speech.
	And here's what she does.
	First of all, she doesn't know how to read from a prompter.
	She can read from the left one, but the right one, she can't read from it.
	And I don't know why this is, and she doesn't understand that with a prompter, you look at the prompter directly and look through it, so it looks like you're looking at an audience.
	Yeah, she looks sideways.
	She looks sideways.
	She's looking forward at the audience, and then her eyes are looking to the right to read from the prompter.
	And I'm quite sure that there was a prompter at the end in the back.
	Well, there usually is.
	There usually is.
	But it seems to me that she kept doing this the right eye thing.
	She kept looking to the right eye.
	It was creepy looking.
	The second thing you've got to watch, once I point this out, you'll see it.
	She flaps her arms, her elbows flap like a bird.
	It's a tell.
	It's a tell.
	When she starts the speech, she's tied in, but then her elbows go out and she starts flapping against her body with the elbows.
	And then when she brings her arms out to gesture, she's flapping like a son of a bitch.
	I thought she was going to take off from the stage, actually, and fly around the room.
	It was terrible to watch her.
	And then to listen to her word-by-word speech?
	Hold on, hold on.
	First of all, good rip.
	Good rip there.
	Well done.
	Second, if we were to analyze her body language, I would posit, and not being an expert, that the flapping is actually shrugging of her shoulders because she really doesn't know what she's saying.
	Just, you know what I mean?
	So if you flap your arms, your shoulders kind of go up too.
	So it works the other way.
	I think she's shrugging.
	It could be.
	Because she doesn't know.
	She flaps so much, it's horrible.
	She's flapping.
	I only had a couple of clips, short clips, part of her.
	And I've got, the first one is not number one, but the first one is Harrison Munich.
	This is her opener, which is just, this is the way she starts it off, as though this is going to get everyone's attention.
	They're all going to be on her side.
	She does get applause, but it's like, you know, it's limp-wristed applause.
	It's not very exciting.
	So by forging relationships and bonds, forging organizations and institutions, laws and treaties, we together established a set of rules, norms that have governed ever since.
	And Europe has enjoyed unprecedented peace, security, and prosperity through a commitment to a set of defining principles.
	The United States is equally committed to these principles.
	That people have a right to choose their own form of government.
	That nations have a right to choose their own alliances.
	That there are inalienable rights which governments must protect, that the rule of law should be cherished, that sovereignty and territorial integrity of all states must be respected.
	All states?
	What?
	Is it a European nation state?
	Is it NATO state?
	What states?
	She's just...
	She's giving one word at a time speech.
	Yeah.
	Like she's talking to kindergartners.
	And it was horrible.
	And it was just...
	The whole thing was like this.
	There was nothing in there that was statesman-like or interesting or new.
	She's just, you know, reading from a Poli Sci 1 book somewhere that somebody wrote.
	Hold on, John.
	Hold on, John.
	We have breaking news.
	Breaking news.
	I always have a monitor on in the studio.
	Breaking news, everybody.
	Breaking news.
	Vice President Harris is out.
	She's out and about talking to people.
	And the caption on MSNBC is, U.S. intelligence now can confirm Vladimir Putin has given the order.
	The order has now been given.
	Invasion, incursion, probably ring the doorbell leaving the burning bag of poop on the step is imminent.
	What station was this?
	MSNBC. Oh yeah, the old reliable.
	So I got just a few more examples, one more example of her yakking, and this is 18 seconds, and this is what most of it sounded like, the whole speech.
	This is Paris in Munich 1.
	If Russia further invades Ukraine, the United States together with our allies and partners...
	will impose significant and unprecedented economic costs.
	Wow.
	So she was a dud, and I don't know that it's going to be saved by anything.
	May I give you an analysis of her speech?
	Not from me.
	I think any proper analysis should be done by someone who knows what they're talking about on a news station where they are known for accuracy.
	Joel Rubin is the man you're about to hear.
	He was a surrogate for the 2012 Obama presidential campaign.
	Advocate for the Iran nuclear deal.
	He was...
	Let's see.
	He's been in USAID. He's mainly State Department Deputy Assistant Secretary of State.
	There you go.
	So this would be kind of a globalist.
	Well...
	You think?
	My goodness.
	He was...
	I mean, when he saw the vice president speak, he almost plots himself.
	Lindsay, this speech was real.
	This was the single most significant speech by an American leader in the global forum calling out Russian aggression and calling out Russia for disinformation since 1962, since the Cuban Missile Crisis.
	What we're watching right now with Vice President Harris is an American leader essentially telling the world, we are almost on the brink of war and we have to resist it because it will destabilize our entire way of life.
	And that is a powerful message.
	This is not a normal speech.
	This is a serious moment for the United States and for Europe.
	So Joel, who is that message for?
	Who is Vice President Harris talking to?
	Is she talking to world leaders, the American people, Putin himself?
	First and foremost, she's speaking directly at that conference to the allies who are looking to her and to the United States for leadership at this moment.
	And she's saying, we have delivered.
	We are with you.
	We are unified.
	And that is not always the message.
	And she hinted at this, that the United States has been giving, certainly during President Trump.
	She's also making it clear to Vladimir Putin.
	And look at this juxtaposition, really, of the entire world, the United States, the West, our allies together, and Russia not there.
	Russia is staying at home.
	Russia is isolated.
	And she's saying to Putin, you are on your own on this.
	The risks are incredibly high for you to think twice before going forward.
	Joel, I only have about 30 seconds left with you, but is it safe for Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky to travel to the Munich Security Conference today?
	He has to do this for his own credibility at home.
	He has to show his people that he is a leader, that he is with the West right now, that they are behind him.
	It is risky, absolutely, but it's the kind of move that will strengthen him in the days ahead, especially for Russia invades.
	So I think this is the signal from the Obama faction who appears to be running most of our country to hype Kamala.
	Did you find any evidence?
	Is it President's Day weekend?
	Is that what this is?
	Yeah.
	Presidents, we should be watching his birthday, but they've decided to link into the curb and include him.
	This is where in America we always, this is the time of year we buy a new mattress.
	Yeah, it's a good mattress time to buy.
	Definitely the mattress sales.
	So that's the only evidence I've received so far.
	To prove your point?
	Mm-hmm.
	Yeah, that's a good one.
	Yeah.
	I need more, though.
	I need more for it to stick.
	Well, you're going to get more, I'm sure, because Stooges like that guy who gave a bad analysis.
	Most important speech ever since 1962.
	Most important speech since 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis speech by Kennedy.
	That's what he's referring to.
	So this is the most important speech since then.
	Actually, hold on.
	Not tear down that wall, Mr.
	Gorbachev, or anything in between.
	Hold on.
	He actually said something different.
	Hold on a second, because...
	Where is it?
	Let me just listen to what he said about that.
	Lindsay, this speech against speech by an American leader in the global forum calling out Russian aggression and calling out Russia for disinformation since 1962, since the Cuban Missile Crisis by Adelaide Stevenson.
	Adelaide Stevenson?
	No!
	What is he saying?
	What does that mean?
	Did Adelaide Stevenson write Kennedy's speech?
	Oh, I don't know what he's talking about.
	This is interesting because Kennedy made the speech, but it wasn't...
	He's got a gotcha in there.
	I noticed this in a second.
	Listen.
	He's got the most important speech in a global forum.
	Just that little...
	It's a little...
	Oh, that's good.
	Because, I mean, tear down that wall.
	Mr.
	Gorbachev was done in front of a large audience, you know, and just the public.
	It was just a public speech.
	And so maybe Kennedy's was something that was different.
	I don't know what he's talking about.
	After President John F. Kennedy was elected, he appointed Stevenson as the United States Ambassador to the United Nations.
	Okay, it was a United Nations speech.
	Thus, it was a global forum.
	Global forum.
	So...
	So that's a little gotcha.
	That's cute.
	I mean, I like people who do this kind of pre-parsing.
	Yeah.
	Well, I said.
	I didn't say no.
	I said.
	Oh, you mean by saying things like there's no evidence?
	Yeah, there's no evidence.
	Okay.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	Just people who do that.
	Yes, I gotcha.
	Yeah, I've done it.
	I do it.
	You do it.
	It's groovy.
	It taught me a lot.
	I say it all the time.
	There's no evidence I don't love you.
	What are you talking about?
	Yeah, there's no evidence.
	There's no evidence.
	All right.
	You have more.
	I know you have more.
	Don't leave us hanging.
	Yes, I do have quite a bit, actually.
	I love this.
	It's so good to be a podcaster when the M5M is so captured that they can't do anything.
	We have all the juicy meat here to mold and present.
	They can't do anything because they're told not to.
	Yes.
	But they do some stuff because we take their stuff and destroy it.
	Let's listen to an NPR report on Munich and Biden.
	President Biden was direct at a press conference yesterday when he was asked if he believes President Putin has decided to evade within days.
	To be clear, you are convinced that President Putin is going to invade...
	I just want to make note of this reporter.
	She realized she was coming across as a hysterical woman and corrected herself.
	I'm just going to be misogynist about it.
	Listen again.
	...asked if he believes President Putin has decided to invade within days.
	To be clear, you are convinced that President Putin is going to invade...
	Whoa, she tapped the brakes!
	Very impressive.
	...Ukraine.
	Is that what you just said a few minutes ago?
	Yes, I did.
	Yes.
	So, is diplomacy off the table, then?
	No.
	Until he does, diplomacy is always a possibility.
	Return now to NPR's Ron Elving.
	Ron, thanks so much for being with us.
	Good to be with you, Scott.
	The President didn't leave much room for doubt, did he?
	You know, Biden's all in on this, Scott.
	He may not be right, but he is all in.
	That strongly suggests that the U.S. intelligence agencies are telling him that the invasion is all but underway, that the troops and the tanks and the aircraft already have their orders, and the borders will be breached in the days or perhaps just hours ahead.
	We saw Putin do what now appears to have been a head fake at midweek, saying he was pulling some troops back while deploying others.
	And of course it turned out he was deploying far more others to the borders.
	So Putin was falsely claiming to be de-escalating, even as his computer weapons unleashed an unprecedented denial of service attack.
	His computer weapons.
	Wow!
	That's good!
	Computer weapons.
	Computer weapons.
	We have a lot of computer weapons.
	It should be covered by the Second Amendment.
	I don't understand what's going on.
	I can have as many computer weapons as I want.
	So I want to play the end of that woman who you said sounded hysterical.
	She actually did a follow-up.
	And I want to play this 32-second clip.
	This is the end of Biden's pressure last question.
	She got the last question in because what happened was there was like a melee as he was about to leave and everyone went nuts and they got this last question in.
	And you get to hear it here.
	Mr.
	President, to be clear, you are convinced that President Putin is going to invade Ukraine.
	Is that what you just said a few months ago?
	Yes, I did.
	Yes.
	So, is diplomacy off the table then?
	No.
	Until he does, diplomacy is always a possibility.
	What reason do you have to believe he's considering that option at all?
	We have a significant intelligence capability.
	Thank you very much.
	Okay, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the forensic analysis portion of the No Agenda show.
	So they roust everybody.
	Thank you, thank you.
	Get out, get out, get out.
	And so they let the thing ride a little bit with an open mic on the audience, and you hear about a 15-second gap.
	By the way, I think it's been taken off most of the clips.
	I caught it on C-SPAN when it first showed up.
	And now you have at the very end, there's after about 15 seconds of silence, you hear these women giggling and laughing.
	And one of them, I believe, says, oh, there he goes, you know, as he runs out the door.
	But then when I boosted it and tried to understand what they were saying, and then they cut the mic, it's five seconds, I couldn't quite put it together.
	And I think somebody in the audience might be able to translate this, and so I'm putting it out there for that reason.
	Okay.
	Now, we're going to first rotate.
	Okay.
	And we're going to enhance.
	Okay, here we go, cyber sleuths.
	Okay, I heard ha ha ha ha ha.
	I heard surprise, I think.
	Yeah, because he left.
	That's a big surprise.
	Oh, there we go.
	Is this a surprise?
	Hold on, let's listen.
	Don't worry about it.
	Don't worry about it.
	I hear that at the end.
	Don't worry about it.
	Oh!
	That's all I got.
	Oh, okay.
	Here's what I think.
	Let me listen again.
	Hold on.
	I think I have an idea.
	Surprise!
	Don't worry about it.
	What I think is going on is that she's really nervous because she was rather rude toward the president.
	And her colleagues are there.
	Hey!
	And her colleagues, they're saying, don't worry about it.
	The guy's fucking senile.
	Don't worry about it.
	I think that's what was said.
	Maybe.
	It sounds right.
	Maybe it's something you do.
	You get a nervous laugh.
	You still have the mic.
	That's the joke of it.
	She's still mic'd.
	And so she is probably that same woman because she doesn't have to be mic'd on at the end.
	She sounds like Janice from Friends.
	And then boom, they cut the mic.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I think there's a lot of funny stuff that goes on when Biden, you know, walkaway Joe is his nickname.
	Oh, ooh, I hadn't heard that one.
	Yeah, because he leaves.
	He leaves in the middle of, you know, he just closes the book and leaves.
	He still has, you know, he walks out with that funny walk.
	It's just a...
	The gate.
	The gate.
	The crappy gate.
	So let's listen to...
	I have a couple more clips that will be done.
	This is a Putin analysis from NPR. Putin analysis regarding Biden.
	Okay.
	President Biden was direct at a press conference yesterday when he was asked if he believes President Putin has decided to evade within days.
	To be clear, you are...
	Which one?
	I'm sorry.
	Am I playing the right clip here?
	I think you are.
	We played this one, didn't we?
	I think this little bit that they do, they keep bringing it in.
	Instead of this part they should bring in, which is what Biden just says, what was the last one we played?
	No, we played this one.
	We didn't play the NPR Putin analysis 2.
	We haven't played that one yet.
	Okay, maybe I jumped to the clip before.
	Okay, play 2 and see if we played that.
	The accuracy of what our intelligence services produce is one question.
	The real questions arise in the use of that Intel product.
	Now, in 2002 and 2003, we saw the Intel product miscast and misused to justify a war the administration at that time wanted to make against Iraq.
	In the 1964 case, we saw Intel used quite selectively to justify escalation of the war in Vietnam.
	So, it's the old question.
	To what purpose?
	To what ends?
	Are you putting that intel?
	In this case, is it being used to build an aggressive case, as in Iraq or Vietnam?
	Or is it being used to reveal the reality of what Russia is up to in the fog of their own narrative?
	What do you think?
	I don't know.
	How stupid are we, world?
	How stupid are we, America?
	Are we going to believe this bullcrap again?
	And it was sad to see, on Friday, The Five.
	I watched The Five for about ten minutes.
	And you got Gutfeld sitting there going, what's going on?
	Let me mention, The Five is a Fox show that has Greg Gutfeld as the lead host.
	But there's a bunch of these people yakking about stuff.
	But it's a Fox show.
	Yeah, it's a Fox variety show.
	Kind of.
	This is how I consider it.
	And Gutfeld and most of the panelists are like, well, they keep telling us it's going to happen Wednesday and Thursday.
	And I think Gutfeld even said they're lying.
	But the rest of the whole show is just...
	Well, Putin's been, Putin's wanted to get a hold of crime.
	I should have clipped this.
	Putin wants to get a hold of Crimea as badly as a teenage boy wants a Playboy centerfold.
	And like, jeez, they are, the whole mainstream is all in on this.
	I see you, Megyn Kelly.
	It's warmongering and it's just, there's no evidence.
	You can get back on her show if you keep this up.
	She loves it.
	She likes the intentions of what you're saying.
	Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
	There's just no evidence that it makes no sense.
	There's no evidence.
	So stupid.
	But yet, now even family in the Netherlands say, hey man, what do you think about Putin, man?
	I'm feeling a little worried over here now.
	I have a clip from 1997.
	Now, they sent troops to Poland.
	In 1997, I believe the Polish was a country that was brought in in 99 with some others.
	And in 1997, Biden gave a speech to one of these drinking clubs.
	And this was on NATO and Russia and...
	And how it's not, you know, Russia likes NATO and he claims that he went over there and everybody thought that NATO was great or some bullcrap.
	This is unbelievable.
	But let's just play this because there's a little gotcha in here.
	This is Biden on NATO and Russia.
	Policy makers in Moscow have accepted it.
	Moreover, no Russian politician with whom I met, from communist leader Zaganov to liberal leader Yavlinsky to nationalist leader Levin, believed that NATO enlargement constitutes a security threat to their country.
	I did not find a single official.
	Left, right, or center, who believed that to be the case.
	In fact, nearly all politicians, and I met with a number of members of the Duma as well, all politicians and experts with whom I met, understood the non-aggressiveness implicit in NATO's three no's.
	The Alliance's declaration of having no reason, intention, or plan in the current and foreseeable security environment permanently to station nuclear weapons or substantial combat forces of current members on the territory of new member states.
	Oh.
	Oh.
	Hmm.
	So, in there he says there's no troops stationed in any of these newer members, which would include Poland, where we sent troops!
	We sent a bunch of troops to Poland, just what, last week?
	Yeah.
	That's not supposed to be, you're not supposed to do that, but...
	Yeah, this whole thing is...
	Well, we sent 8,000 troops, you know.
	Yeah, but there should be none.
	Maybe we should also just remind ourselves of more recent history of our current president.
	He was involved in an extortion scheme in Ukraine.
	And so I got Ukraine.
	And I remember going over convincing our team, our brothers too, convincing us that we should be providing for loan guarantees.
	And I went over, I guess, the 12th, 13th time to Kyiv.
	And I was supposed to announce that there was another billion-dollar loan guarantee.
	And I had gotten a commitment from Poroshenko and from Yatsenyuk that they would take action against a state prosecutor, and they didn't.
	So they said they were walking out to the press conference and said, no, we're not going to give you the billion dollars.
	They said, you have no authority.
	You're not the president.
	The president said, I said, call him.
	I said, I'm telling you, you're not getting a billion dollars.
	I said, you're not getting a billion?
	I'm going to be leaving here, and I think it was, what, six hours?
	I looked, I said, I'm leaving in six hours.
	If the prosecutor's not fired, you're not getting the money.
	Oh, son of a bitch.
	Got fired.
	And they put in place someone who was solid at the time.
	So they made some genuine substantial changes institutionally and with people.
	But in one of the three institutions, there's now some backsliding.
	The courts?
	Yes.
	And they had made a commitment that they wouldn't do that.
	And so when we left, the first thing I spent...
	A lot of time, as did Mike, because this was his territory as well, and people like Charlie Cupchin and Victoria.
	Anyway, there were a lot of good people we had working on this.
	Point of parliamentary order.
	A parliamentary quest.
	Inquest.
	Question.
	Money like that for Ukraine is determined by Congress and is earmarked and approved, and that's how it goes.
	I mean, we've seen this multiple times throughout the whole Trump thing.
	This is not at the president's discretion, is it?
	Just to say, oh, you're not going to get it.
	Or vice president.
	Am I wrong in that?
	I don't know.
	Seems to me that the president has a lot of things hanging out there that he can cut off, stop, stop and go.
	Hmm.
	Okay.
	I don't think the Congress does that much.
	But they approve it.
	They approve it.
	They approve that money.
	Yeah, it probably did, but it doesn't mean it has to be doled out.
	Look at all the money that was approved during the COVID crisis.
	These states haven't even bothered spending it.
	Oh, no, they're spending it.
	They're giving it to college kids.
	Here, have 10 grand.
	Thanks, man.
	Vote Democrat.
	Okay.
	Vote Democrat.
	Get more money.
	Yeah, I mean, it's pretty obvious to me.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Well, I think that...
	Oh, then the final thing is this should not have happened.
	There's supposed to be a meeting in Helsinki next week of foreign ministers.
	Abe Lincoln will be there.
	I've got to call him Abe Lincoln now.
	A. Blinken will be there.
	Who's this?
	Anthony Blinken?
	Anthony Blinken, yeah.
	A. Blinken.
	A. Blinken.
	He'll be there.
	That guy's the worst.
	But Finland beat Russia at hockey in the Olympics.
	And now everyone thinks that Putin won't allow anyone to go to Helsinki, you know, because he lost, you know, lost face.
	It's a big deal.
	For Finland to beat Russia in hockey is a big deal.
	For anybody to beat Russia in hockey is a big deal.
	Like, oh, no, no, now they won't show up.
	It's like, really?
	Really?
	You really think that?
	I'd be more inclined to think they're just going to shoot the hockey players that lost.
	That would be China.
	Yeah.
	We were watching ice skating.
	Tina literally asked that question.
	She said, oh, the Chinese lady fell twice during the dancing, which is not even tricks.
	I think I saw that one.
	It's not even tricks.
	It's just dancing.
	You know, I hate to say it.
	I must be, it's just some sickness to watch ice skating.
	And then, oh!
	Oh, down she goes.
	Why else are you watching?
	It's like the front.
	It seems to me because they're totally kicking ass.
	Some of these skaters are just, especially the newer women that do the quadruple.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, it's the best.
	But they can't manage it.
	The guys can do it pretty well, but the women are just getting the hang of it.
	And so they fall down a lot.
	And then they come back crying their eyes out and there's something sick about watching this as far as I can tell.
	No, it's Formula One for sensitive guys and women.
	Poor girl, she's crying!
	I mean, let's be honest.
	We watch the race and we want to see our favorite driver win, but if there's a good crash, particularly NASCAR, so this is like one of those things.
	You're holding your breath for the whole time during the routine.
	That's the appeal of it.
	It's a lot better than swimming.
	No one ever drowns.
	No one ever drowns.
	They're just slow.
	Nobody drowns, yeah.
	And a little too much bobsledding, NBC. A little too much.
	Did we do well in bobsledding?
	Is that why they're just killing me with bobsledding?
	Or are they trying to sexy it up?
	The thing is about some of these sports, the skating is always the big money grabber because I think a lot of it has to do with the car crash theory.
	And it's like, there she goes, and she's on her way.
	She's looking, and you're rocking up to, oh!
	And you always do these, you make these noises when the girl goes down and lands on her ass.
	Boom!
	And...
	Yeah.
	It's great.
	Same with the guys, but something about it, it's just like, oh, because it's rough there.
	I mean, those people are not, you know...
	And then the same thing with the skiers when they crash a little bit, but it's more boring.
	I don't know.
	I have mixed feelings about these games.
	Well, anyway, to get back to the original point, yes, I'm sure that the female half of the Chinese partner skating duo was beaten.
	Of course, because it's what they do.
	Yeah, why not?
	Beat her!
	Beat her!
	You didn't skate well!
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage.
	Say in the morning to you, the man who put the seas in Clarence in Columbus.
	Ladies and gentlemen, Mr.
	John C. Dvorak.
	Say hello.
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	Also, in the morning to all ships at sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the domes and knights out there.
	In the morning to the trolls out there in the troll room.
	Man, I've never seen your studio, and I hope I never do.
	I envision you living like Oscar the Grouch amongst tin cans, because that's all we ever hear.
	The trolls are out in full effect.
	Let's count them for a second, see how many we have today.
	Hello, trolls.
	Let's see what we got here.
	We have, oh, not that at all.
	We have 2,768 trolls online consuming...
	I'm producing back through the Troll Room at trollroom.io, although no one was able to get any more forensics out of that five-second clip than we did, but this is a good group to be a part of.
	Even if it's not a record setter today, it's still up there.
	It's a lot of people.
	And you can join them at trollroom.io.
	You just do whatever you want in that troll room.
	It's kind of fun.
	And you can listen live on Thursdays and Sundays.
	The stream runs at the same time, noagendastream.com, which I suggest you put on one of your favorites because you'll be listening to it all the time.
	A lot of live shows.
	In fact, there's a live show coming up after today's episode.
	I think...
	Bongs and bowls and bongs or buds and bowls?
	No, something like that.
	Whatever it is, it's some sort of dope reference.
	Hello, it's trolls.
	What can I tell you?
	You can also follow us at noagendasocial.com.
	I had to turn off the podcastindex.social open registration.
	People were just signing up there.
	That was not exactly the point.
	We do need more of these Mastodon instances out there that federate.
	Which is the beauty of it.
	Lots of people are able to follow Adam at NoAgendaSocial.com and John C. Dvorak at NoAgendaSocial.com.
	Participate in all of the threads that we have going on over there.
	That's how the Fedverse works.
	And we did see TruthSocial.com appear briefly over the weekend in a beta test.
	We do not know if it's federating yet.
	This is former President Trump's What is this taking so long?
	I think they have a scaling issue, personally.
	Remember, we stopped our registration at 10,000 people, and we have Aaroner, who is pretty much managing our server full-time.
	It's an enormous amount of storage space, bandwidth, if you federate, because you're getting all of the stuff from out there is coming in as well, and you have to make choices.
	What are you going to show?
	What are you going to update in real time?
	I think it's scaling.
	If...
	If it's indeed what we think they built it on, I think that's the problem.
	With Trump, it's not going to be 10,000, that's for sure.
	It's going to be 10 million.
	It has to be, yeah.
	Plus, I think he had 45 million or 50 million Twitter followers, which is probably one of the reasons they wanted to phony it up and get rid of him.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, good point.
	Yeah, good point.
	I don't know.
	We'll see.
	We'll see.
	I have high hopes.
	One thing's for sure, he can't come out and then it sucks.
	It can't suck.
	No, it can't suck.
	It just can't suck.
	If it comes out and it sucks, then it's over.
	We'll see.
	And he kind of has to be prepared to go around the app ecosystem, which is why it has to be a good web experience.
	It's complicated.
	I'm glad I don't have to build it.
	But if it is what I think it is, it'll change things dramatically.
	And we also need to thank the artist who brought us the artwork for episode 1426.
	We titled that one Pre-Bunk, and this was a very nice piece we both liked.
	It was time for this type of simple yet so effective piece.
	Darren O'Neill was the man who knows how to do this.
	This was our Chinese COVID-19 test kit.
	And I had to fight like hell to get that through.
	No, you didn't.
	What are you talking about?
	We both liked it very much, in fact.
	We didn't have to fight.
	Just because I hate Darren doesn't mean...
	I don't hate Darren.
	It's a lie.
	It's a lie.
	It's a running gag.
	We did briefly discuss this and say, well, we could actually get censored on Twitter for this.
	It didn't happen.
	It was a long shot to get censored, but somebody did bring it up.
	Well, anyone...
	I think Roundy said something like, were you guys ever censored before?
	Well, no, not really.
	I don't think so.
	That I can remember.
	No.
	Not even our Auschwitz, Busser Mach Freie.
	That's the closest we...
	I think that would be pretty close to getting censored.
	Didn't get censored, though.
	Didn't get censored.
	It was interesting.
	So this would...
	I mean, because why would this get censored?
	Because it's racist.
	That would be the answer, yes.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, but the reason why it doesn't get censored is because there's no advertisers on this show.
	There's no leverage.
	No one cares.
	Yeah, they just avoid...
	They don't care.
	They can't hurt the pocketbook.
	They had some other funny ones like COVID dick that you brought up.
	You know, that...
	Man hater COVID dick by Darren.
	Darren also did that, by the way.
	There was a lot of eggplant emojis.
	I think the COVID dick conversation really hit home with a lot of people.
	Yeah, it'd bother anyone.
	Yeah.
	You had COVID, next thing you know, what?
	I kind of like that.
	That explains it.
	And somebody pointed out, hey, why don't you two jerk-offs, you know, put two and two together.
	COVID dick, Pfizer, little blue pill, Pfizer shots.
	This is exactly what Tina said.
	She said, you didn't see that was a native ad for Viagra?
	I'm like, honestly, no.
	No, I didn't see it that way either.
	Now you think about it.
	Yeah.
	Okay, so Pfizer immediately shut John off with that.
	We'll wait for him to come back.
	Wow!
	Yeah, Pfizer went, uh-uh, I don't think so, Dvorak.
	Oh, Pfizer, CIA, same thing.
	Anyway, the point is that we didn't...
	We didn't make note of it at the moment.
	No.
	And I wasn't thinking about it.
	Let's see what else we have.
	I like Thank God for Democracy.
	The guy's getting beat up.
	I mean, I thought that's good stuff.
	Wait, which one was that?
	That's new.
	That wasn't even here.
	You sure?
	Yes.
	No, that wasn't.
	Oh, no.
	The one that was here was The New Look of America.
	Yeah, that we liked.
	And I liked it a lot.
	And it was a little...
	It was...
	The problem with it was it de-emphasized no agenda and it was kind of messy.
	It was busy.
	Yeah.
	It was too busy.
	But I liked it.
	I thought Nessworks could have gone for a trifecta there.
	It would have been his third in a row, I believe.
	No, not in a row.
	Yeah, I think so.
	Um, let's see.
	Dead Dog.
	Kenny Ben did a Dead Dog on the Stoop.
	Yeah, cute.
	The Anti-Shit Show.
	Camilla with Creepy Eyes.
	Uh, no.
	Yeah, yeah.
	What was it?
	The Podcasting 2.0 by Chad was interesting.
	We had no idea what it was supposed to mean.
	That green thing?
	Which one was this?
	That's the green thing?
	The green monster with the microphone?
	Oh yeah, the green monster and the microphone.
	We liked it, but we didn't understand it.
	It's a pretty piece, but I don't understand what this is about.
	We didn't get it.
	We didn't understand.
	Maybe it's the podcasting 2.0, and the green monster is the mainstream media that's scared to death.
	Oh, possible.
	That's actually reasonable.
	Anyway, I do think that overall the quality of the art is quite high.
	I can't imagine making one single piece of these.
	I mean, this is so unbelievable.
	It's part of the time, talent, treasure.
	I'm about to write, since we're not going to write the book, I'm going to have to write a little primer on value for value.
	You can write a book.
	No, I would never write a value for value book without you.
	I've already asked.
	You said no.
	I'm moving on.
	I never said no.
	You said no.
	We discussed it on this show.
	And the reason?
	No money.
	No money.
	Oh yeah, you're right.
	You said no.
	You said no.
	There's no money.
	You said, oh yeah, we'll make no money.
	And you said no, and I'm like, I'm glad you said no, because it sounds like a bum deal.
	So I just have to write about it, because people need to understand how incredibly fun it is when you produce the show.
	That's why our listeners are not listeners.
	They're not audience.
	They're not fans.
	Whenever I'm on Rogan, he always says, yeah, Adam's fans.
	No, no, no.
	It's not fans.
	These are producers, and I treat them as such, certainly when they email me screenshots without a link.
	I can't fire you, but damn, I've come close.
	And so that means that you can support us.
	I sense a theme.
	You can support us with time, talent, or treasure.
	You need all three of them to make it work, but that's why we have the best search engines.
	That's why we have the No Agenda Art Generator.
	Thank you, Sir Paul Couture.
	The artists who put the artwork up there.
	What happened to the first art generator that we had?
	It had some of the original art.
	That was drop.io.
	That was the big Silicon Valley lesson that I had.
	We had a different generator?
	We had a pre...
	The current generator is the current generator, but there was something before it that was done by...
	It was maybe Couture and the guy that moved to...
	I mean, this thing only began on show five or six.
	I think there was like a couple of hundred shows on this older one, and then we lost track of it.
	I think there's art still floating around on it.
	I thought that for sure that was the days of Drop.io, where we had everything.
	No.
	No.
	It was online.
	Oh, Drop.io was online?
	It was all online.
	I'll contact Couture and...
	No, I mean, it was on like a website.
	Hmm.
	I'll contact Couture and then he might remember.
	And there's one...
	And the other guy who's...
	Oh, man, I forgot his name, but he's one of the originals.
	Oh, wait, wait, wait.
	Yes, I remember this because it was built on...
	Oh, come on, help me.
	Drupal.
	Drupal.
	Drupal!
	Now I remember!
	Yes, and it was always breaking.
	Wasn't it?
	No, I don't think so.
	It was hard to use.
	It was just a piece of...
	It was just not good.
	Something about the Drupal.
	The Drupal.
	Whatever happened to Drupal?
	I can't believe anything worked on Drupal.
	I know.
	Once it went headless, that was the end of it.
	Headless Drupal.
	Get that shit out of my life.
	Oh, man.
	Well, thank you very much, Darren O'Neill.
	Great piece.
	It's one for the archives.
	It looked fantastic.
	It's a great way for people to just look at a list of podcasts that you might be used to, depending on what kind of podcast app you use.
	And you see, hey, wait a minute, something changed.
	And it always draws people's eye.
	It's a great attention getter.
	And it really helps with the consistency of the show.
	We appreciate your work, Darren, and the work of all of our artists and the work of Dreb Scott, who takes these pieces of art while listening to the show and creates beautiful cloud chapters, which you can see in a modern podcast app.
	Go to newpodcastapps.com, grab one of those, drop the legacy stuff.
	You know what happened on the last show?
	Stupid legacy Apple.
	This is crazy.
	So, of course, I had COVID.
	And I was tired.
	And I inadvertently put in the RSS feed an image that was smaller than 2,000 by 2,000 pixels.
	And when you do that, Apple will not publish it.
	Because, you know, some reason.
	Yeah, it makes no sense.
	And luckily we have a producer on the inside who caught it and shepherded it through, let's put it that way, which is super cool that we have that inside one of the biggest companies in the world.
	But come on!
	I mean, this is the kind of shit that they do.
	You know, it's like that should make no difference to you.
	But there you go.
	Yeah, and all you do is take the 560x560 image or whatever it is and bump it up to 2000x2000.
	That's exactly what I do.
	You don't really do much more than that, which just makes it a bunch of pixels.
	Yeah.
	It's dumb.
	Thank you.
	Let's thank some of our producers who came in at the executive and associate executive level for today.
	This is the way that the show is financed and keeps running.
	And we appreciate the help so that we can...
	Listen to the Republican, Democrat, and Independent line of C-SPAN and analyze that for you.
	And realize that they're all crazy.
	Roderick Lennart is in Charlotte, North Carolina and comes in.
	Boom!
	$1,022.22 message sent to John's email.
	Yeah.
	And there is indeed a message.
	It would have been in the spreadsheet if he had used the subject and put the words donation in the subject line rather than have me look up his name.
	But you have it anyway.
	Thank goodness.
	I do have it.
	I have to now scramble for some jingles too.
	That's usually the case.
	Oh, let me get those for you right off the top.
	Okay.
	You should mention it to me every time so I do this.
	He wants to buy a whole load and as many little girls' yays as you can tolerate, along with the goat karma.
	Okay.
	So I don't know what that means.
	Tolerate.
	Yeah, we'll figure it out.
	ITM boy, Sir Roderick of Flavortown, ringing the bell from Charlotte, North Carolina for my smoking hot soul sorcerer girlfriend, Nicole, in honor of Double Twin Flames Day.
	Oh no!
	Double Twin Flames Day!
	22, 22, 22.
	Soulmates, soulmates.
	Adam, if you wouldn't mind saying it in your best VJ voice, the quote is, quote, Nicole, we should probably date forever.
	Okay, ready?
	Nicole, we should probably date forever.
	To another take a little sexier.
	Nicole, we should probably date forever.
	He's going to be playing this to her to pop the question.
	Oh!
	I didn't understand.
	Okay, let me try it this way.
	Okay, take three.
	Hold on, hold on a second.
	Let's see if we can do this right.
	Let's go.
	Nicole!
	Nicole!
	My dearest Nicole!
	Nicole!
	We should probably date for the rest of our lives!
	Please, Nicole!
	Please!
	Nicole!
	Okay, let's do a take four.
	Make it the same thing, but make it serious.
	Instead of cracking your voice and then joking around at the end.
	Do you like the music?
	John, do you like...
	Well, and his head is gone.
	Okay, well, do you like the music?
	Do you like the music or not?
	Yes, I like the music.
	Okay, all right.
	Stop cutting out!
	Stop cutting out!
	I'm cutting out.
	Here we go, here we go.
	Nicole.
	I really think we should be dating for the rest of our lives.
	I love you and I want you to be my wife.
	I think he's got plenty to work with.
	Yeah, I think so too.
	That's very good.
	I'm not sure how many no-agenda engagements there have been, but he continues.
	No, we've had several, actually.
	Well, he says he's not sure how many engagements there have been, but it's been certainly true that the couples that no-agenda together stay together.
	Can I get a Biden whole load of any little girl EAs as you can tolerate along with goat karma?
	Goat karma.
	Please keep up the work, fellas.
	We need you now more than ever.
	Nicole will now be Dame...
	She's going to be Damed.
	There you go.
	Get your pencil out.
	Hold on a second.
	I'll read.
	Yeah, Nicole will now be Dame Snitchy of Flavortown.
	That's...
	S-H-N-I-C-C-I, which I assume is snitchy or sneaky.
	Say it again.
	S-H-N-I-C-C-I. Schnicky.
	Well, Nicole is Nicky, you know, sometimes.
	Nicole, Dame Schnicky.
	Okay, Schnicky.
	Oh, yes, it's a cute little name they have for each other, Schnicky.
	Schnicky of what?
	Oh, Schnickykins.
	What's her full dame name?
	Dame Schnicky?
	Dame Schnicky of Flavortown.
	Flavortown.
	Okay.
	Now, at the round table, he'd like some gluten-free pizza, which is the worst ever.
	And sweet wine.
	Sweet wine?
	You know what would be good as a sweet wine?
	Muscadine wine.
	Muscadine wine.
	That's what I would have.
	Put sweet wine, but muscadine is what I'd be drinking.
	Okay, do you want me to do muscadine?
	Muscadine it is.
	Muscadine wine.
	It's a sweet wine that is basically a sweet wine.
	The universe is always working out for us.
	Well, now he knows about muscadine wine.
	Please credit any leftover...
	By the way, the amount of good muscadine wine made in the world is probably maybe 5% of the total.
	Please credit many leftover proceeds from Dame Hood to Emma Foster.
	Okay, well, you can do that.
	Sir Loin's Human Resource.
	Sir Loin's in the picture.
	Love is lit!
	Roderick.
	I'm gonna give you the whole load today.
	Yay!
	You've got...
	I got it for you.
	It is your load.
	Noah Wattenmaker.
	Wattenmaker.
	Wattenmaker.
	Which is interesting.
	Wattenmaker.
	Might be a cotton ball maker in Dutch.
	58681, Three Rivers, California.
	Howdy, guys.
	Thanks a ton for everything.
	Shows like yours keep civilization afloat.
	Birthday, February 18th.
	Baranation for me.
	Accounting attached.
	Thank you.
	No jingles, no karma.
	Noah Wattenmacher, Baron of the Sierra Batholith.
	And thank you very much.
	Noted.
	Huh.
	So now you got, uh...
	Baldwin in Hayden, Alabama, 334.
	And it says, page 233.
	I only have one page here.
	And he says, the last thing that I wish to do is annoy you.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	Yeah, I hear that.
	If the enclosed note is too lengthy for your...
	Oh, there must be a second note.
	Please slice and dice.
	Oh, I see what he's got here.
	So this long other note.
	Oh.
	From...
	Oh, here it is.
	Slave Baldwin.
	Oh, okay.
	Now I get what his notes here.
	Howdy comrades!
	Please de-douche me.
	Oh, we can do that?
	You've been de-douched.
	I would like to call out my father...
	Let's see, where is he?
	I can talk a little bit like this, maybe.
	Please de-douche me.
	I'd like to call out my father, Baldwin the Elder, who hit me in the mouth as a D-bag.
	I'd also like to call out Hawaii Hill as a D-bag.
	With that business out of the way, I have an interesting historical parallel to add to your growing list.
	Unfortunately, it may not help us prepare for what's yet to come.
	In 1911, the Italians invaded what is now Libya and replaced the Ottoman.
	Much havoc ensued.
	In 2011, the Libyan Civil War toppled Gaddafi.
	Much havoc ensued.
	The poor Libyans can't catch a break.
	Regarding the current war drums and the East and Far East, perhaps the crescendo will be provided by an overliable source.
	An overliable, what?
	An overliable snare.
	Boats.
	Why not?
	I suggest that if I were a consultant, let us not forget the USS Maine, the Louisiana Pearl Harbor, USS Maddox.
	If anything riles folks up, it's a sunk ship.
	And we seem to be recycling the older playbooks as so planes are out.
	He goes on with some Theodore Roosevelt info and he says, no jingles, no karma, we'll cut it off at that.
	Respectfully, slave Baldwin, the younger, eventual protector of the free state of Winston.
	Hill Country of FEMA, Region No.
	4.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Thank you very much.
	Another executive producership for Jonathan Halper from Charlotte, North Carolina.
	333.33.
	We love that one.
	Thank you for keeping the best podcast in the universe going.
	No, thank you, in fact.
	I'm one of those time shifters, which I think John has griped about before.
	But in this case, it eventually resulted in knighthood.
	Every year and a half, I hear my name during the donation segment, which reminds me it's time to donate again.
	I realize that time shifting might provide less than ideal immunity against mainstream media, podcasting equivalent of the J&J vaccine.
	But I haven't died yet.
	Anyway, I'd like to be known as Sir Jonathan of the South Mecklenburg Metaverse.
	Eighteen months from now, this is going to sound great.
	Oh, 18 months from now.
	Oh, no, no, no, no.
	18 months.
	Yeah, because now he's claiming a protectorate in the metaverse.
	So when the metaverse is finally here, you see, yay, smart.
	Could I have an Obama?
	You might die.
	Followed by, that sounds pretty good, and a goat scream.
	Why, sure.
	You might die.
	I think that sounds pretty good.
	Ah!
	Done.
	It's actually an interesting combination.
	It is.
	Surveiled Baron of FEMA Region 4 in Palmetto, Florida.
	33333.
	No message.
	That's what his note says.
	No message.
	No jingles.
	Nice.
	Surveiled Baron of FEMA Region 4.
	Carry on.
	Sir G? G-H-E-E? 33333.
	Ghee.
	Is it ghee?
	Are you sure it's ghee?
	As in butter.
	Oh, Sir Ghee.
	Hi, both.
	Thank you for your courage.
	Keeping me sane, a little smidgen of new jobs, Karma, would be gratefully appreciated.
	Keep sticking it to the man, Sergei.
	Jobs.
	Jobs If I may do a PSA, please.
	With the great resignation underway, I feel it is important.
	As an owner of a plumbing and heating company and laundromats, I do not care if you have a master's degree in underwater basket weaving.
	While it does show dedication to your passions, this does not mean that you are now worth $75 an hour laying pipe or folding laundry.
	I love that you are striking out to find yourself.
	This seems to be like a message to somebody.
	Yeah.
	Probably.
	I like this.
	I love it that you're striking out to find yourself.
	But please understand that when starting a new career, your value will change in the short term.
	Thank you.
	You two are amazing, referring to us.
	Yeah.
	And I could not imagine my weeks without your sanity.
	Adam, I hope you're feeling better.
	I had an awful backache when I had the vid.
	Oh.
	May I please?
	I guess it's one of the things.
	Yeah, it is.
	She wants an F-cancer R2-D2 style as I will be undergoing my first surgery when you guys are reading this.
	Oh my.
	Keep me in your thought, Duke of Luna, lover of America and boobs.
	Love is lit and all that shit.
	Dame Kim Keeper of the Nutty Fluffers in Hubbard, Oregon.
	Yeah, nice.

	Okay, so we need boobs karma.
	We gotcha.
	You've got karma.
	Okay.
	We have Konstantinos Pilidis.
	Pilidis.
	333.
	Thanks for everything you do.
	You have no idea how much you keep me sane.
	I'm a doctor who is completely muzzled by administration and paralyzed by student debt.
	Not all of us believe the bullshit.
	Give us all the Sharpton you have, please.
	Wow!
	There you go.
	That's your capture right there.
	Muzzled by administration, paralyzed by student debt.
	But thank you for choosing a path of medicine.
	Prescribe and move on.
	Probably a good doctor is probably pretty honest.
	Of course, that's why you've been muzzled and paralyzed.
	They've captured you on both ends.
	So sorry.
	Thank you for your courage.
	And when you ask me for a Sharpton and you come at me with that, I just have to give you maximum respect.
	R-E-S-P-I-C-T. Dear John and Adam, ITM to you both.
	And he's handwritten a note too.
	Encloses a 23334 donation, which gets me halfway to knighthood.
	I have little of substance to say, as most of these notes, other than thank you both for being there as a voice of sanity during these incredibly stupid times.
	Mm-hmm.
	Continued blessings on you and your families.
	Paul Noe in Knoxville, Tennessee.
	And he would like a little Sharpton followed by a little girl yay.
	Yeah, man.
	No problemo.
	There's no real conflict!
	Yay!
	There you go.
	Nicole Allen, Olympia, Washington, 223.33.
	Magic numbers all over the place.
	In the morning, John and Adam, I submitted a birthday donation of 223.33 for my mom, Cindy Connolly.
	Her birthday is February 23rd.
	This is her first donation, so please de-douche her.
	You've been de-douched.
	Now, does that mean it's a switcheroo?
	This is her first donation.
	It's a birthday donation.
	I think the birthday part of it was for the mom.
	Well, yeah, but it says this is her first donation.
	Oh, this is her first donation.
	Yes, it has to be.
	Cindy Connolly.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Switcheroo.
	Got to keep the admin going.
	Uh, First of Nations, please, can I get the jingle, Don't Eat Me, Bo Jiden, and moving karma?
	The family is leaving Washington State and moving to Texas!
	There you go.
	Smart move.
	Don't go to Austin.
	Thank you for your courage, Nicole Allen.
	Definitely.
	They all go to Austin.
	Don't eat me, Bo Jiden!
	You're scary!
	So scary!
	You've got karma.
	No, I think Austin is not necessarily the number one spot for people anymore.
	I don't know.
	I'll be going to some...
	Well, I'd go to Dallas, personally.
	Jeremy Noel.
	Fake.
	Dallas is so fake.
	Yeah.
	Just like all Californians.
	We love it there.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Jeremy Noel.
	They got good food.
	And they got good wine.
	Jeremy Noel, 222.22.
	In the morning, this row of geese shall bring me out of douchebaggery into my final form for my 36th birthday on the 22nd of the second month.
	Please de-douche me.
	You've been de-douched.
	I would like to take the numerology of my day this year and send a Biden jobs karma for all.
	Also, do we have a Biden jobs karma?
	It's the Jobs, I think.
	It's not just Biden.
	Also, I request a hunk hunk and a Fauci wheeze with an L Sharpton respect.
	This is an interesting coincidence.
	Please add in a douchebag call out for Zach.
	And Colin.
	Love is lit.

	I might have to try some of that.
	It was hard to get it aroused, and it is hard to get it aroused, but we got it aroused.
	But resist we much.
	We must and we will much.
	About that.
	Be committed.
	You've got karma.
	Andy Edwards in Niceville, Florida.
	He's in Niceville, Florida.
	220-76.
	I want to wish my smoking hot wife, Christy, happy birthday on 220.
	She's on the list.
	She made a donation for my birthday last month and did not ask to be dedouched.
	Can you dedouche us both?
	You've been dedouched.
	There you go.
	I also need to call out Delta Dave.
	Delta Dave as a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	Hey John, down one dog biscuit for me because you're excited.
	I can just move it out.
	Yeah, alright.
	When Christy donated, you asked why anyone would...
	I just go to two fists.
	Fist away.
	When Christy donated, you asked why anyone would name a town Niceville.
	The original name of the town was Boggy.
	B-O-G-G-Y. When they decided to rename the town in 1910, the postmaster's daughter came up with Niceville.
	Okay.
	Why not?
	Can you play Smokin' Hot Wife with some pagan goat karma, please?
	Oh, he means the boogity.
	Jeez.
	Let's see.
	Yeah, we can do the boogity for you.
	And then some guns.
	You've got...
	We wish we had something better than that.
	What?
	I said we wish you had something better than that for Smoking Hot Wife.
	Well, that's what he requested.
	No, I know he did.
	I've been a pet peeve of mine.
	I've never liked that clip.
	What's the problem with it?
	It's just messy.
	It's hard to hear.
	It's...
	I don't know.
	Really?
	Hmm.
	John Alberini, I'll get him, in Gurneyville, California.
	Now pronounced Gurneville.

	Anyone who goes to this insurance scam town, used to be pronounced Gurneville when I was a kid.
	$220.22.
	Hi, John and Adam.
	Thank you for the twice-weekly dose of sanity during these crazy times we live in.
	Well, I've donated before.
	This is my first associate executive producer donation.
	Please de-douche me.
	You've been de-douched.
	Jingles.
	Get vaxxed.
	Screw your freedoms.
	New info has come to light.
	And no.
	Get vaccinated.
	Screw your freedom.
	I've got information, man.
	New shit has come to light.
	I'm not quite sure why that was funny, but it worked.
	It was very funny.
	We got John Cooper with 220.22.
	Now, was this the start of the palindromes?
	Yeah, 220 is the first week of palindromes every day until the end of the month.
	It's palindrome day.
	And then after this, we won't have palindromes for the rest of our natural lives?
	No, they began again in March of 2013, over a year away.
	2023, you mean, not 20.
	I mean 2023, yes.
	All right.
	Sad puppies are great, but the palindrome pitch was compelling.
	Adam, welcome to the COVID Survivors Club.
	I actually pulled out one of my No Agenda Shop mugs, which...
	That says COVID Survivor, World's Best Dad.
	That's right, COVID Survivor.
	No, actually, mine says, anybody can be World's Best Dad.
	I invented podcasting.
	Is that what you're saying?
	They made a special one for you?
	Yes.
	Wow.
	With COVID survivor on it.
	Oh, it is by far one of my favorite mugs.
	Please play 33 is the magic number.
	WTC7 won't go away.
	And some jobs karma for Mo.
	You got it, man.
	73s from John.
	Kilo Lima 3.
	Juliet.
	Charlie.
	73s.
	Kilo 5 Alpha.
	Charlie Charlie.
	33.
	That's the magic number.
	It's the magic number.
	WTC 7 won't go away.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	Anne Rand.
	Jeffrey Holland in Winter Springs, Florida, 2020-22.
	John and Adam, your coverage of world events is truly outstanding.
	Thank you.
	H here is 22022 donation to help the value for value model.
	My keeper and I are trying to navigate the new travel industry.
	When we registry, I'm going to have trouble reading this note, I can tell.
	We get yeah, but after we review the rules for unvaxxed COVID survivors, we get no.
	This generation of socialist company leaders has ruined our retirement travel planning.
	Yeah, I hear that.
	Please play yeah, no, yeah, no.
	What have you done, you stupid fools?
	Hold on a second.
	Hold on.
	You know, you know, I'm actually happy because we haven't played that in years.
	What have you done?
	I got that one.
	But you stupid fools?
	You stupid fools?
	Or is that maybe you pigs in human clothing?
	Maybe.
	Well, I don't play maybes.
	Well, I don't have anything but a maybe.
	Alright, well, then it's off the list.
	Alright, so I only have two.
	And a karma for our travels.
	This donation is getting me closer toward my personal goal of reaching knighthood before our Orlando meetup.
	Shout out to the next Orlando NA meetup.
	Dame Meow Madison is hosting on February 27th, another palindrome day, at the Orlando Hourglass Brewing on Curryford, 12 noon to 3.30, Jeff Winter Springs, Florida, the goatee fisher of the Space Coast.
	Is it Curryford or Curryford?
	I mean, you could look at that either way.
	Either way.
	All right, Jeffrey.
	Thank you for requesting this one.
	Yeah, no.
	This is great.
	Yeah, no.
	I don't know why you're saying yeah while saying no.
	Yeah, no.
	I don't know why you're saying yeah while saying no.
	You know what you have done?
	Yeah, no.
	You've got karma.
	Classic jingle.
	Yeah, that's a good one.
	That's when we were both saying, yeah, no, way too much.
	And there are producers to help us out.
	You know, mock us, and it works really well.
	It's all you can do.
	Roland Thatcher is in Cookville, Tennessee.
	Yeah, palindrome202.20.
	Good morning.
	I'm sending these ducks with some eggs to put towards my knighthood.
	Yes, we see the eggs.
	Thanks.
	Birthday gift to myself.
	Please play big truck horn.
	Okay, so that's honk honk.
	Yes, and what was the other thing I saw here?
	Oh, and a Sharpton Respict.
	Oh, this is very popular today.
	All right.
	Wow.
	R-E-S-P-I-C-T.
	Wow what wow?
	I'm astonished by the magic number of Sharpton requests.
	Which one are we on here?
	Jenna, yeah.
	Jenna D'Amico in Bellingham, Washington.
	Or Washington, as everyone thinks I say it.
	Washington.
	20202.
	ITM J&A. I wanted to wish my smoking hot man, Sir Ryan the Refiner, a happy 40th.
	He's really 36 on 211.
	Okay.
	Yeah, it's cute.
	And a happy birthday to my brother, Sir Shyster.
	Destroyer of Cones.
	I don't know that both of them are on this list.
	Sir Scheiser, Destroyer of Cones.
	Let me see.
	Tomorrow from...
	And his birthday is tomorrow from Dame J. We're happy, roundtable family.
	No jingles, just karma.
	Yeah, they're both on the list.
	No worries there.
	No worries.
	No worries, man.
	Craig Nosley, Cumberland, British Columbia.
	Dearest Jake and Elwood.
	Are we really like the Blues Brothers?
	I don't know.
	$200, Associate Executive Producership.
	It's at getting cooked, checking in again.
	Now that my bride is safely in the air heading to Nova Scotia, may I humbly ask once again for house-selling and buying karma and perhaps some surviving short-term bachelorhood karma?
	Yeah, baby.
	I hear ya.
	You've got karma.
	That should fix you right up.
	Last on the list is Max in Redding, Redding, California.
	And he comes in with $200 and also sent in a card.
	It's a Christmas card, curiously.
	A little late on that, but okay.
	A lot of stuff crossed off on here.
	Yeah, like Christmas is crossed off on it.
	Okay.
	That's good.
	He says, don't read.
	But, you know, I feel like reading this so badly.
	I'm going to read it.
	He says, I think it's funny to use cards my ex never sent.
	Sorry for the terrible counting.
	Here's the $100, which is $200.
	I owe for my mom and another because you guys are awesome!
	Oh, gosh.
	Thanks, Max.
	No jingles, no cards.
	That was it?
	Just a big awesome...
	Ah, thank you very much.
	Very much.
	Okay.
	I think we have one make good, and it was not our mistake, but we're happy to correct.
	This is from Kristen Balthasor.
	And this is from her notes from the previous show.
	Did she become a dame with this?
	Anyway, in the morning, to two of my favorite gents, I have to start out by requesting a seriously major super-duper de-douching and a splash of birthday karma all in one.
	Well, we'll de-douche you right here first.
	You've been de-douched.
	I have finally gotten myself to donate years after my husband started shrinking my amygdala.
	I have no good excuse.
	But she had misspelled the email address where she was supposed to send this to.
	You guys have kept me sane in the most insane of times.
	I can't thank you enough.
	And claim your knighthood already, Mitch.
	I'm a registered dental hygienist and I have some boots on the ground reports of how the shutdowns work from home life is ruining everyone's oral health.
	Oh my goodness, I'll bet.
	And subsequently, other physical health.
	Yeah, oral health is incredibly important.
	It's pretty nuts, guys.
	I can elaborate more if you're curious.
	No, I can only imagine how nasty it is.
	We haven't been able to get an appointment with a dental hygienist for like six months.
	They don't know who I am yet, don't worry.
	I donated to represent my ascent, shamehood to damehood, and the additional $38 is to represent how many rings are starting on this tree trunk of my life.
	We did all of that for her on the previous show.
	I humbly request a couple of jingles in this order.
	Biscuit on my birthday.
	We're all going to die.
	It's true.
	And a double goat scream.
	Thanks, guys.
	Bye!
	From Kristen.
	They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
	You might die.
	Yeah, well, that's my truth.
	That was not the right one, but it came out pretty funny.
	Yeah, very funny.
	I have no idea where that came from.
	And that concludes our executive producers and associate executive producers for episode 1427.
	These credits are real because you're producing a very real product, a professional product that has been on the air, so to speak, in our 15th year now.
	And you should all take great pride that this experiment has turned into something that is a template for many others to come.
	Very few have done it because it takes...
	Dedication.
	And it takes time.
	And it takes a fantastic group of producers which has to be carefully cultivated.
	That's you.
	If you're not an executive producer or associate executive producer and you'd like to be one, excellent idea.
	Go to this website.
	And participate to work with us on our time, talent, and treasure.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	We go out, we go out.
	Order!
	Shut up, slave!
	Shut up, slave!
	All right, now I gotta do some COVID crap.
	Oh, no, actually...
	I love this story.
	Just a little entrement of climate change because this story didn't quite get all the details that I have in this particular clip.
	This is the ship filled with luxury automobiles that is burning.
	I love this.
	If you recall, and I think we were doing the show, do you remember a ship sank in the North Sea with luxury cars and they sawed it in half?
	And I went out with the helicopter and took pictures.
	We're doing the show then?
	I don't think so.
	We weren't doing the show?
	Maybe not.
	And they saw this whole ship in half and it was like just the guts of the ship and then these cars saw it in half.
	I remember an auto magazine actually bought one of my pictures.
	That was my one and only.
	I spent $8,000 on telephoto lenses and stabilizers for the helicopter and sold one $500 picture.
	Great investment.
	Anyway, what happened?
	What's going on?
	Oh my goodness, you won't believe it!
	The Felicity Ace is still smoking in the middle of the Atlantic, and 22 crew members have abandoned ship.
	The Portuguese Navy released this video of the rescues, and there are no injuries.
	But the ship and thousands of luxury cars look to be a loss.
	There's going to be a lot of heartbreak when you get that phone call from your Porsche dealer.
	Industry expert Nick Miles says the cargo is easily worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
	This was a ship that was initiated by the VW group, so there were Bentleys on board, there were also other VWs, Lamborghinis, maybe some Audis, although I haven't been able to confirm that yet, and Porsches.
	In total, 4,000 luxury vehicles, about 1,100 said to be Porsches.
	The ship was traveling from Germany to Rhode Island when the fire broke out off the coast of Portugal.
	Officials there suspect the cause was lithium-ion batteries in electric cars.
	However, an investigation won't begin until what's left of the vessel is towed to shore.
	Thermal runaway!
	I love this.
	Finally, we're getting down to brass tacks with this bull crap known as EVs.
	It's dangerous.
	Yeah, when a car just goes up in flame for no good reason.
	Well, there's a percentage of these batteries that does that.
	It's called thermal runaway or thermal runaway.
	Yeah, something like that, yeah.
	It's just because these things don't...
	Okay, it's just the technology that's...
	No good.
	No, but everyone's all in.
	I mean, you've got to crash with these things.
	There's incredible fire hazard or explosion hazard.
	Electrocution hazard, too.
	Horrible electrocution hazard.
	The largest lithium battery power storage...
	It's offline currently for the same reason.
	It looks like some of the batteries are overheating.
	This is like a 400-megawatt storage thing, Vesta Energy.
	It's not working out very well.
	We're supposed to get better battery technology, not shit that burns.
	And so what is this going to do to the price of automobiles?
	Do you know how much the insurance will go up on shipping cars?
	I think this is underplayed, but it's a nightmare.
	It is underplayed, you're right.
	If you can even get a car...
	I love this story.
	Hold on.
	Where is it here?
	Yeah, this goes along with it.
	A global shortage of microchips is hammering automakers.
	A chip shortage.
	A growing number of companies sounding the alarm over a global chip shortage.
	Dealerships have a sliver of the inventory they normally have.
	Lots are full of unfinished cars awaiting the chips that will make them sellable.
	Meanwhile, demand is high, and automakers are forced to sell cars without features like heated seats, considered essential in full of clients.
	On a market like ours, that's a highly desirable option.
	You know, I know, just personally speaking, I... It's one of the first things that I fire up at this time of year, both on the wheel and on the seat.
	And so I think it's a sacrifice that a customer would have to make.
	General Motors has been directing the supplies it does have to its most profitable vehicles.
	But the carmaker has also said it plans to retrofit cars with heated seats as soon as they are available.
	And GM is not alone.
	All automakers are having to make tough decisions about which features to cut so they can deliver vehicles to customers.
	And there isn't really a clear end to this in sight.
	No heated seats.
	You know, so there's a car.
	I can get a new model by paying very little extra.
	I'm considering doing it.
	I think it may be an investment.
	Already, they're almost offering for my current vehicle what I paid for it.
	I mean, seriously, like five grand short.
	It's unbelievable.
	It's really dire.
	Yeah.
	I think buy up as many cars as you can.
	I want to go back to the Munich Security Conference to get us into some COVID stuff.
	I don't have a heck of a lot other than, well, these two...
	I have one clip.
	I think I have one COVID clip.
	And it's an interesting clip for two reasons.
	One is the information.
	The second one is it's done by a robot voice that is so good.
	I hate these.
	Yeah, I know, but this robot voice is just the best.
	And it's some magazine, some online thing that's been banned from everywhere.
	You know, it's called Expose.
	And the robot voice, which can't quite pronounce Expose correctly every time.
	Expose.
	I'll do it.
	It goes Expose.
	Expose.
	It does expose every so often.
	But I don't know if I have a clip of him saying expose, but the robot voice itself is quite...
	I think I could...
	This is much better than Doug.
	Okay.
	You don't need to insult Doug.
	Well, Doug, you know...
	He's in the troll room.
	He's in the troll room.
	He's already insulted.
	Well, robots can't be insulted.
	Doug does.
	You can play my COVID clip.
	It's just interesting.
	Official data hidden within news reports published by the New Zealand Ministry of Health has revealed that the fully vaccinated population account for the vast majority of COVID-19 hospitalizations in New Zealand, with some days seeing the triple, double-jabbed account for 100% of people admitted to hospital.
	On 16 February 22, the New Zealand Ministry of Health published a news report containing information on COVID-19 hospitalizations by vaccination status.
	In it, they confirmed that of the current hospitalizations among the northern region, the unvaccinated population accounted for two hospitalizations, whilst the fully vaccinated accounted for 23 hospitalizations.
	So we took a look back at previous news reports published by the New Zealand Ministry of Health to paint a picture on the current alleged COVID-19 pandemic sweeping the country.
	Okay, I am going to ban the use of robot clips forever for the rest of our show days together, and I will tell you why.
	This morning, Tina was reading a substack to me.
	And it's a very long piece.
	It's not that important.
	It's by NS Lyons who wrote it.
	And what NS Lyons introduces, I think, is the perfect nomenclature for the struggle that we are in right now.
	We've been talking about a class struggle.
	It's the elites versus the working middle class.
	Lyons brings in a great term, or two terms.
	The class struggle we are in is the virtuals versus the physicals.
	The virtuals are the laptop pajama warriors.
	The physicals are the people who are out in the real world doing stuff mainly for the virtuals.
	And the virtuals, they hate the physicals.
	They hate them so much that they cannot wait to have autonomous driving trucks.
	Get rid of those assholes.
	They can't wait to have computer-flown planes.
	Get rid of the pilot dicks.
	They can't wait to get rid of podcasters.
	Put in that robot voice.
	Do not be on the side of the virtuals.
	I am on the side of the virtuals.
	All podcasters must die.
	I really like that.
	I'm going to use this term.
	The virtuals versus the physicals.
	Like even doctors.
	They don't want doctors.
	They don't want physical doctors.
	Just give me a pill that releases it and monitors me in real time.
	Give me telemedicine.
	It's really far-reaching when you think about it.
	I think it's an excellent descriptor.
	Well, when I heard this robot voice, I thought it was the best robot voice I've ever heard.
	Yeah, well, that's fine.
	Now, I'm talking about virtuals and reels or whatever you want.
	Physicals.
	I like reels.
	No, it's too confusing with reels from Instagram.
	Virtuals and physicals.
	I don't know what that even means, what you said.
	Reels?
	Okay.
	All right.
	Okay, Boomer.
	Reels.
	It's like the original TikTok.
	Again.
	I know.
	laughter Ha ha ha.
	Again.
	You're just here to confuse me.
	Yes, thank you.
	So, now I've lost my train of thought.
	Ah, time for a robot, John!
	Yeah, that's what I need.
	Yes, I'm all for it.
	A virtual JCD would be perfect for this show.
	I'm reminded of the robots that call.
	And there's lots of them.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And so you try to confuse them.
	It's kind of fun.
	But the giveaway is the amount of time it takes them to answer the simple questions.
	Like you call, hi, I'm with so-and-so, I'm Leslie, and blah, blah, blah.
	You say, are you a robot?
	You say to the robot, and you hear, No, I'm Leslie, and there's these long pauses between the questions and answers.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	And it's actually quite funny until they hang up on you.
	Yeah, it's a bummer.
	Yeah, they do have a quick hang-up trigger, I think.
	I mean, it'd be simple.
	I mean, I just talk to you, and I say, hey, John, how you doing?
	It's a...
	I mean, that's the robot voice.
	It'd be perfect.
	It'd be perfect.
	Anyway, let's go back to the Munich Security Conference because in attendance, because it deals with the security, was the world's favorite doctor.
	Doctor, what are you doing?
	What are you doing?
	I wasn't doing anything.
	I was moving something.
	Hmm.
	Everyone's favorite doctor, Dr.
	Bill Gates.
	Dr.
	Bill Gates taught here, of course, in Munich to talk about security because we're all very worried.
	And I have two clips, equally fun.
	We'll start with the first one regarding preparation for the next pandemic.
	And what...
	Before I even play this, did you see this by any chance?
	Did you see any of Bill's appearance?
	No, I did not see Bill.
	I did not see Bill at the security conference.
	I'm glad you did.
	Lots of tells, lots of laughs, lots of chuckles, so we need to dive into him, so to speak.
	But who do you think really did the best when it comes to COVID? What organization or what country or what city?
	I mean, who really did the best?
	The Gates Foundation.
	Bill, how confident are you that we as a global community will deal with the next pandemic better?
	I mean, they're already getting ready for the next one!
	Well, you know, there were a lot of people in 2015 after the Ebola epidemic who were talking about what needed to be done.
	And in this pandemic, the countries that had some exposure to SARS-CoV-1 were amongst the outliers.
	You know, so Australia is a true outlier.
	They orchestrated diagnostics, they executed quarantine policies, and they have a death rate in a different league than the other rich countries.
	I mean, just utterly different.
	They locked their people down like dogs, Bill!
	And everybody had the capability to do that.
	They, you know, have less PCR machines than other rich countries.
	It wasn't some thing.
	They have more travelers coming in from China.
	They took away everybody's guns.
	...than other countries.
	So hopefully, you know, given the so many negative things, not just the millions of deaths and the economic toll, but the lack of schooling, depression, overdose deaths, I mean, it's, you know, hard to make the entire list.
	As you say, you know, for men, more men died.
	For women, more women had, you know, unacceptable burdens thrust onto them.
	Okay.
	Women had unacceptable burdens thrust onto them?
	Different than men?
	Any thoughts on that?
	I think he was trying to say something else and he threw that in.
	Yeah, I think he threw it in to just say, uh, women, women are better than men.
	I know my programming.
	Hard to make the entire list.
	As you say, you know, for men, more men died.
	For women, more women had, you know, unacceptable burdens.
	Excuse me, but Dr.
	Bill, Dr.
	Bill, is dying an unacceptable burden?
	Dying.
	The men were dying, and women all on acceptable burdens.
	You know, for men, more men died.
	For women, more women had, you know, unacceptable burdens.
	Yeah, miscarriages.
	So, the cost of being ready for the next pandemic is not...
	Super large.
	It's not like climate change where, you know, 10 trillion, 20 trillion, these are big numbers.
	You know, global surveillance capability.
	I love that.
	So we have, again, the Bill Gates signature tell, and it's usually when it's about money, it's like, well, you know, we made some dough.
	I'm going to translate for you what he's saying.
	You know, I made some good money.
	I probably made a 10x return, but wait until we get the climate change, bitches!
	Uh...
	So, the cost of being ready for the next pandemic is not super large.
	It's not like climate change where, you know, 10 trillion, 20 trillion, these are big numbers.
	Yeah!
	Money, money!
	Global surveillance capability would cost like a billion a year.
	The R&D that we need to do to get magic vaccines and diagnostics and therapeutics, you know, that's less than 100 billion over the next decade.
	So, If we're rational, yes.
	The next time, we'll catch it early, and it won't go global like it did this time.
	What a money-grubbing whoremonger.
	I hate that guy.
	But wait until you hear this next clip.
	And it's really confusing to listen to this.
	We'll have to probably listen to the beginning twice.
	And if either of us were moderating this, we would have stopped him.
	If right in the middle of a sentence said, what are you saying?
	To kick off, actually, and get a bit of a scene-setter from Mr.
	Gates, because this is, I know, a topic that you've spoken on again and again.
	You were ahead of the curve prior to the beginning of this pandemic.
	Where would you assess where we are today in beating COVID-19?
	Well, you know, sadly, the virus itself, particularly the variant called Omicron, is a type of vaccine.
	That is, it creates both B-cell and T-cell immunity.
	And it's done a better job of getting out to the world population than we have with vaccines.
	Okay.
	He said, sadly, sadly, the virus did better than the vaccines at sterilizing people from COVID. Sadly?
	Yeah.
	Sadly.
	Yeah.
	That's the best news there.
	This is your beat.
	That's the best news there is.
	This thing acts like a vaccine.
	Sadly, would you not have interrupted him?
	Excuse me, Dr.
	Bill.
	Sadly?
	Why are you sad about that?
	Oh yeah.
	I would have said...
	Let me stop you there for a second.
	You said sadly...
	And then Bill would say, yes, and I meant sadly, because it would be nice if the vaccine had worked and it didn't.
	So that's why it's sad.
	I mean, it's sad that everyone in the world has to get sick as a dog.
	You can't interchange saying, this thing killed 900,000 people in America alone, millions worldwide, with sadly, it's over.
	You can't do that.
	He did.
	This guy is a menace to society.
	No, I think he had the right side of the argument from his perspective.
	The way he saw it, the vaccines were going to be the big savior that didn't work.
	And so that's why he's sad about it.
	He's not sad that a bunch of people died or a bunch of people didn't die.
	Oh, really?
	Really?
	Well, let's listen to the rest.
	Prior to the beginning of this pandemic, where would you assess where we are today in beating COVID-19?
	Well, you know, sadly, the virus itself, particularly the variant called Omicron, is a type of vaccine.
	That is, it creates both B-cell and T-cell immunity.
	And it's done a better job of getting out to the world population than we have with vaccines.
	Sero surveys in African countries, you get well over 80% of people have been exposed either to the vaccine or to various variants.
	And so, you know, what that does is it means the chance of severe disease, which is mainly associated with being elderly and having obesity or diabetes, those risks are now dramatically reduced.
	Sadly...
	Infection exposure.
	And, you know, it's sad.
	We didn't do a great job on therapeutics.
	You know, only here, two years in, do we have a good therapeutic vaccine?
	It took us two years to be in oversupply.
	Today, there are more vaccines than there is demand for vaccines.
	And, you know, that wasn't true.
	And next time we should try and make it, instead of two years, we should make it more like six months.
	Which certainly, you know, some of the standardized platform approaches, including mRNA, would allow us to do that.
	So, you know, it took us a lot longer this time than it should have.
	Now, there's a second opportunity for the follow-up question.
	Mm-hmm.
	Which is that, well, as you pointed out, that catching the disease was a better vaccine than the vaccine itself.
	What makes you think another round of mRNA, which apparently didn't work for crap, if we take a look at it objectively, how is this platform going to help the next time?
	What's new about the platform that would make a difference?
	Tell me what that would be.
	And what's so upgraded about it that you can do it in six months instead of two years?
	Bill Gates is truly a piece of shit.
	I mean, seriously.
	And I'm clipping this.
	I'm putting it on my phone.
	So if anyone ever asked me, I would say, according to the world's doctor, according to the largest funder of the World Health Organization, according to the man who runs Gavi, according to the man behind the vaccines, what I got...
	Is as good as a vaccine.
	Yeah, that's what he said.
	I don't see why you're condemning him for it.
	I know you're taking the other side just to do it, but screw this guy.
	And screw these Munich douches.
	They're literally admitting.
	Stop!
	Every single company can stop with the mandates.
	Every city can stop with mandates.
	Stop!
	Stop already.
	Stop!
	You can stop.
	Dr.
	Bill says it's over.
	It's done.
	It's better.
	Stop forcing people to take an inferior vaccine.
	Kiss them instead.
	On the cheek.
	On the cheek.
	Guaranteed you get that shit.
	Kiss him on the cheek.
	I was just like, whoa.
	Okay, so now let's take a look at this for a moment.
	Because the biggest problem with mandated vaccinations, which are not necessary, all you need is a good dose of Omicron, is Scandinavia.
	And, boy, Bill should have mentioned them, because they've done such a good job at quashing their own people, at squashing them.
	Take that, you physicals.
	The virtuals will kill you!
	Now to the latest clashes in Canada.
	Police moving in on the remaining protesters from the so-called Freedom Convoy, saying the occupation is now over.
	So-called!
	Smoke seemed blowing through the crowd, according to authorities.
	Some demonstrators using tear gas and smoke grenades against the officers.
	Dozens of people arrested and dozens of trucks and other vehicles were towed.
	ABC's Kenneth Moten reporting tonight from Ottawa.
	Tonight, the clashes in Canada's capital city.
	Officers clearing the last protesters of the so-called Freedom Convoy.
	Some defiant, shoving face-to-face, pushing back against police.
	Police in riot gear, accusing protesters of using gas and smoke grenades.
	Officers armed with batons and rubber bullets.
	Hitting back with pepper spray.
	This man dragged away.
	More than 170 demonstrators arrested in this police crackdown.
	This is about personal freedom of choice for our bodies, for our lives.
	But after three weeks of taking over Ottawa's downtown over COVID restrictions, some remaining truckers retreating.
	Even as police move in, they're still giving these truckers the option to leave on their own.
	Police towing other big rigs.
	Today, Parliament back in session.
	This area was the last stronghold for demonstrators.
	This occupation is now over.
	We will continue with our mission until it is complete.
	When Parliament Hill has now been cleared, the perimeter is secured with this fencing.
	When protesters have spilled into other parts of the city, Ottawa police telling them to go home.
	Yeah, so the, unfortunately, what I predicted is one of the outcomes is starting to happen.
	And they're trampling old ladies and there's all kinds of nasty stuff that's happening.
	That's worth 15 seconds on the CBS Evening News.
	Meanwhile in Canada today, police moved in to confront protesters who for three weeks have gridlocked the capital city of Ottawa over vaccine mandates.
	Semi-trucks and other vehicles were towed.
	At least 70 people so far have been arrested.
	They're threatening to take their children away.
	The latest joke is they're threatening to take their pets away.
	If you have a pet, they'll take them away.
	If you don't claim your pet within eight days, they will kill your pet.
	And the Ottawa police chief, the new guy, the old guy's out.
	He knew it was better to get the heck out.
	He's the Ottawa police chief telling you that it ain't over.
	If the protesters at this point, you know, retreat and go home, are they going to be getting sort of repercussions down the road?
	Are you going to be sort of actively pursuing the people that you've been sort of documenting and filming who are still out there protesting?
	What are your plans after this, after the protest is over?
	Thank you.
	It's a great question.
	And the simple answer is yes.
	If you are involved in this protest, we will actively look to identify you and follow up with financial sanctions and criminal charges.
	Absolutely.
	This investigation will go on for months to come.
	It has many, many different streams, both from a federal financial level, from a provincial licensing level, from a criminal code level, From a municipal breach of court order, breach of court injunction level.
	It will be a complicated and time-consuming investigation that will go on for a period of time.
	You have my commitment that that investigation will continue and we will hold people accountable for taking our streets over.
	Yeah, and they mean business.
	They're going after...
	I have the Christy Freeland clip.
	Christy.
	Yes, she's Christy.
	We might have the same clip, actually.
	Is this the one about the financial stuff?
	Yeah, we're going to do this, we're going to do that.
	Within there, she says, and by the way, this is such a good idea.
	I think we're going to keep doing this as a policy.
	I said, yeah, no.
	You did?
	I said, yeah, no.
	Yeah, no, yeah, no.
	Why you said yes, but you meant no.
	This is a good clip, and I like yours because it's longer.
	She is the Deputy Prime Minister.
	In terms of the financial instruments which our government is using right now to act against these illegal blockades and illegal occupation, we reviewed very, very carefully the tools at the disposal of the federal government.
	And we used all the tools that we had prior to the invocation of the Emergencies Act, and we determined that we needed some additional tools.
	Now, some of those tools, we will be putting forward measures to put those tools permanently in place.
	The authorities at FinTrack, I believe, do need to be expanded to cover crowdsourcing platforms and their payment providers.
	So that is something that we need to do, and we will do, and that needs to be in place permanently.
	Some of these other tools...
	Like the sharing of information between law enforcement and financial services and the requirement of financial services to be reviewing their accounts proactively.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	And the other aspect of the financial tools that I would point to as being really effective and important is being clear that insurance on trucks that participate in these illegal occupations and blockades will be suspended.
	So we didn't have those tools.
	I don't believe that those tools should be part of the toolbox of a government in ordinary times, but they are necessary in these extraordinary circumstances, and they are having a very clear impact.
	Well, this is very interesting for a number of reasons.
	One is these are U.S.-based companies.
	So this is a globalist action that's taking place.
	And when she says insurance companies, that's just more of the same, banking.
	But she also says we're going after the payment processors, too.
	So, you know, behind the crowdfunding sites is MasterCard or Visa.
	Visa doesn't do processing.
	I think MasterCard does the processing.
	There's only a couple of processors.
	And it's really, really sad.
	It's really sad this is happening.
	But what's even more sad is how it all fits together.
	Chrystia Freeland is a – so as we said, she's the Deputy Prime Minister.
	She is the World Economic – she's on the World Economic Forum Board of Trustees.
	Yes.
	And I want to remind everybody what the head honcho, the villain, Klaus Schwab, said in 2017 about the Canadian cabinet specifically.
	Yes.
	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 know that half of this cabinet, or even more half of this cabinet, are actually young global leaders of the world.
	So he claims half the cabinet have been young global leaders of the World Economic Forum.
	He talks about penetrating into governments and cabinets everywhere.
	It really makes you wonder about George Lucas because this guy is a Sith.
	He looks like one.
	He acts like one.
	The artists are off to the races.
	But notice what he says in the beginning.
	And I have to say, when I mention our names, like Mrs.
	Merkel, even Vladimir Putin, and so on.
	Yes, Vladimir Putin was a World Economic Forum young global leader, and that explains why they're all so pissed off at him.
	I don't think he's in on the game.
	I think he turned on him.
	And like, dude, that's not cool, bro.
	We invested in you.
	And this video, which went viral a couple weeks ago, has been out there.
	People have been talking about it, particularly with the so-called Freedom Convoy.
	That one of the members of parliament from Ottawa...
	Posed a question which was asked by one of their constituents in the question and answer session in the Scandinavian Parliament.
	Very interesting results.
	Castillo, I call out to Eric questions and comments.
	The Honorable Member for Oshawa.
	Thank you, Mr.
	Speaker, and I listened to my colleague's speech.
	I had a constituent that wanted me to ask a question about outside interference to our democracy.
	Klaus Schwab is the head of the World Economic Forum, and he bragged how his subversive WWEF, World Economic Forum, has quoted infiltrated governments around the world.
	He said that his organization had penetrated more than half of Canada's cabinet.
	And I was wondering, in the interest of transparency, Could the member please name which cabinet ministers are on board with the WEF's agenda?
	My concern is the deputy...
	Order, order, order.
	And interrupt it!
	I know the member was in a really good question there, but the audio is really, really bad, and the video is really, really bad as well.
	And I apologize.
	I don't know if the member...
	Okay.
	Okay.
	Shut up!
	Let's try again.
	The honor of the...
	The Honorable Member for Tim and James Bay.
	I mean, come on!
	They cut the guy off and then he gets a signal from, you know, shut up, shut up!
	The audio was bad, the video was atrocious.
	Good question, though, good question!
	The audio was perfect.
	Please, so insulting.
	Yeah, so that's what we're dealing with.
	By the way, in the United States, Tulsi Gabbard?
	Dan Crenshaw, the eyepatch guy here in Texas.
	All young global leaders of the World Economic Forum.
	This is not just our typical drinking club, John.
	There's more to this.
	I think there's some sort of conspiracy.
	I would call it a conspiracy.
	Yes.
	So called.
	And the people that are involved in it should be called out and they should be rousted.
	This is not good.
	Rousted.
	Yeah.
	Let's include Tulsi in this, even though she's a favorite of Tucker's.
	Yeah, but that's why it's so scary.
	You don't know.
	Is she just really subversive?
	She's got a lot going for her.
	I bring it up once in a while on the No Agenda Social and elsewhere.
	Why don't we reestablish the House Committee on Un-American Activities, which was pretty much ousted in the 50s.
	Star Chamber.
	Star Chamber.
	The House Un-American Activities Committee, HUAC, should be re-established and we should start looking into this.
	These activities are dangerous to the country.
	They're more dangerous than Trump, that's for sure.
	Yeah.
	But they're all in, brother.
	They're all in on it.
	They'll scamper.
	They scamper.
	They scatter.
	That's what roaches do.
	So with all of this taking place, we now know that I've been vaccinated.
	According to Bill Gates, I have been vaccinated.
	I have strong immunity against C and B and T cells.
	And I'm very happy.
	So mask mandates can stop.
	We can get rid of all this.
	Now to the pandemic and the major signs we are entering a new phase.
	All states, with the exception of Hawaii, relaxing mask mandates as case numbers nationwide continue to come down.
	The nation now averaging 112,000 cases per day.
	That's down 86% since the peak about five weeks ago.
	And officials in New York State say they will not enforce a booster requirement for health care workers.
	So this is what you think is really good news, even though they don't credit Bill Gates with it, and the fabulous Omicron, which has been called a different virus from time to time, not just a variant.
	But there's a real problem.
	This didn't stop because Bill Gates said it.
	He's just accentuating it.
	This stopped because the Democratic Party in the United States looked at the polling and said, we've got a real problem with this.
	We've got to stop this insanity.
	But there's a big problem MSNBC has identified.
	The trend lines have been clear that a growing number of Americans, including a lot of Democrats, are heading towards, if not already at the point of saying, you know what, we just got to get back to normal.
	And you see this kind of emerging message from some Democrats basically saying mission accomplished, that, you know, the policies of the Biden White House, the Democratic Congress, Democratic governors, they worked, our sacrifices were worth it, we got vaccinated, it's now time to enjoy those benefits.
	But that message hasn't really been that loud because, as you point out, The base is divided.
	A large number of Democrats are not there yet.
	So I think there's going to be a challenge for a lot of Democratic leaders to get their base comfortable with the idea of going back to normal.
	I mean, for the past two years, so much of the identity of what it meant to be a Democrat, to follow the science, was tied up in masking and following these rules and regulations.
	And if you didn't do that, you were, you know, a bad person.
	You were Ron DeSantis.
	You were a denier.
	So now these Democratic leaders need to get their base comfortable with unwinding all of that.
	They're afraid to take off the mask for fear of being called a Republican.
	I love this.
	You stupid fools.
	This is exactly what's going on.
	You stupid fools.
	That's California, right?
	Oh yeah.
	The first state in the union to drop the mandates.
	Have you looked out the window?
	How's the man?
	Are people wearing masks?
	Are they triple masked?
	They're masked up like they've always been masked up.
	They're loving it.
	You know, they give you the freedom you can mask up if you want.
	Now, kind of on the same subject, but we've been ignoring these clips.
	I've had them for a while, but they keep cropping up.
	And in today's Meet the Press...
	The same thing cropped up.
	We kind of switched topics.
	I'm not getting away from COVID, but we're talking about these Democrats and their trouble they're in.
	Sure.
	Is the school board.
	Yeah.
	In California, we've had three board members of the San Francisco school board were recalled.
	And that's the only reason they were recalled.
	The rest of them weren't.
	It's because the rest of them weren't eligible for recall yet.
	They would oust everybody.
	And now they're trying to recall the...
	The district attorney, this Boudin guy, and he is named after a sausage, I guess.
	So this morning on Meet the Press, they had Mayor Breed.
	Oh, boy.
	I have to say, I wouldn't say this until I watched her with Chuck.
	Chuck, by the way, has restless leg syndrome.
	They have a camera shot of him.
	Oh, really?
	Poor Chuck.
	Chuck has a shot from way back, and you can see his leg, and his right leg is just going like crazy.
	That's not a good look.
	No, I think they're doing it on purpose, to be honest about it.
	You worked in the business.
	Oh yeah, they want him out.
	And so, she was good.
	She deflected, and she came up with the right answers, and she was poised.
	I was surprised.
	Yeah, but this is new for her.
	I mean, she was the one that created this, and now she's done a complete 180 and is saying, oh, this is nuts.
	We've got to stop this insanity.
	She did well.
	Anyway, so here's the latest clip from yesterday on the thing, and I will explain what's actually going on.
	We had some clips from last show, which we didn't play, but I'm going to just be the, this is the newest school board newest.
	Finally, San Francisco residents voted to recall three members of the city's school board this week who they thought hadn't been trying to reopen schools during COVID, but spent too much time trying to rename them.
	Are National Democrats seeing a message of this and maybe other events heading into midterms?
	Yes, there seems to be a building national trend here in some of the most liberal cities in the country.
	Let's call it pushback from within the progressive coalition.
	Sometimes activists in the vanguard want to go further than their rank and file really want to go.
	And in this case, we're seeing the pushback especially among members of racial and ethnic minorities, people that Democrats have in recent cycles often taken for granted.
	Okay, now this is a very, very shallow analysis.
	What's happened is that the Democrats, for one thing, it's always annoyed everybody in San Francisco that they want to rename George Washington.
	They want to take George Washington off the school names and put some Mooma guy.
	Yeah, these are the people who voted on that, right?
	These school board members, they're the ones that voted to take the names off.
	Yeah, they did, and they thought it was their...
	They claimed that it was their...
	They were voted in for these purposes of changing the school names, but the one that really triggered it, and they bring it in and out of the discussion, and Chuck Todd brought it in, but they didn't harp on it.
	And they never mentioned the name of the school, which is the primary, the big boy in San Francisco is this Lowell High School.
	Lowell High School is the school for the gifted.
	It's part of the whole system, but if you're the smart kid in the 8th grade or so, middle school, and you're going to go to high school, you can be tested if you want to.
	New York has a couple of these schools, but they've been blocked and turned into lottery schools, just regular schools.
	Lowell High School was for the smartest of the smart kids in San Francisco, and they all go to Lowell High, and they get special education.
	They get education on a fast track.
	A large part of the Asian population, which have all these special AP classes and all these things, so you can move faster and get into college easier.
	The Asian population, which is the smartest because they push their kids into going to college, they push their kids hard, are promoters.
	They love Lowell High because they have to go to private schools, expensive private schools, to get the education they want for their kids.
	And so they get their kids really smart and then they take the test and they go to Lowell High.
	They pull the plug on Lowell High.
	The entire Chinese and a lot of the Spanish and a lot of the black population that have smart kids that they can't afford to send to private school, they were fast-tracking them to Lowell High.
	Now they pulled the plug out from – the rug out from under them saying, yeah, it's a lottery now.
	Your kid can be smart as he wants.
	He's going to the shit-face school over here if he doesn't – he doesn't pass.
	So everybody in this group just turned on the Democrats.
	And this is not being discussed like it should be.
	These Democrats are in trouble because the ethnics that have smart kids and want their kids in a better school have turned on the Democrats.
	I love the term ethnics.
	And this is a big deal nationwide.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, fantastic.
	And for it to start in San Francisco is just poetic.
	It's perfect.
	Poetic.
	It's perfect.
	Austin has a ways to go.
	They are still in idiot land.
	Man, we are so happy we left that shithole.
	Listen to what they're doing now.
	Just last week, warrants were issued for two Dallas police officers, and now this morning in Austin, 19 of their police officers have been indicted.
	This comes after two years since the protests in 2020.
	The grand jury handed down the indictments for the Austin police officers accused of using excessive force.
	Some protesters were heard after being hit by beanbag rounds or rubber bullets, and now that number of 19 indicted officers could grow.
	This is the highest of any U.S. city, and advocates say it is a step toward justice.
	I hope this will bring changes to the police department.
	However, Austin's police chief feels differently.
	I am not aware of any conduct that, given the circumstances that the officers were working under, would rise to the level of a criminal violation by these officers.
	And the Austin City Council also announced that they're going to be paying a $10 million settlement to protesters.
	Those two men were injured by beanbag rounds, which is now ammunition that is not allowed to be used for crowd control.
	There's already an extreme shortage of law enforcement officers in Austin.
	They cannot get any cadets into the academy.
	They literally defunded the police by $100 million.
	The 911 system has been diverted away from the cops.
	The wait time between someone even picking up 911 is like five minutes.
	It's...
	They're insane.
	This is the stupidest thing you could do.
	This doesn't end well.
	And no one wants to be a cop anymore.
	The cop's like, I'll just wait.
	I'll just go work for the private security firm and I'll go protect the Tarrytown people.
	It'll be fine.
	And I'll make twice as much and I can eat pizza on the job.
	Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid people.
	Stupid.
	Stupid.
	Um...
	So, there you go.
	San Francisco.
	Incredible.
	Yeah, well, leading the way.
	I'm going to show my soul by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	Actually, we have a short list today and part of the holiday, I believe.
	I always contribute.
	I say the holiday is the problem.
	It's three-day weekends.
	People aren't around to support the show.
	It's not because we're no good, I presume.
	I mean, we're still doing...
	You read the notes.
	Seems like it.
	Meanwhile, let's go with our group here.

	He also wants wedding karma.
	He's getting married on 22222.
	Love is lit, sir did.
	Yeah, we'll give you karma at the end.
	Congrats!
	Oh, that's a good day to pick.

	We want to thank these folks for making this show possible.
	And thank you to everybody who came in under $50 where you like to hang out and be anonymous.
	That's the place to do it.
	A lot of $49.99s.
	And, of course, we have many subscriptions, which anybody can participate in.
	They're great for these slower days.
	That means we have a base.
	Please consider that.
	Do you have anything, any other make-goods, anything you want to read?
	If it's not on that list, do I have anything?
	Before I go into the sequence that you stopped.
	Oh, yeah.
	And now I'm going to explain what happens.
	The reason I've been doing this consistently is that you say something that triggers it.
	And it's something I forgot to read, or I promised to read somebody, and so then I interrupt you just before you go into the birthday thing.
	I don't mean to do it, and I'm sorry in advance.
	No, it's okay.
	But today, I'm good to go.
	Oh, okay.

	No Agenda Meetups!
	Well, this was bound to happen.
	We had so many meetups in the month of February that we have a crap ton of reports.
	They're all great.
	If you've never been to a No Agenda Meetup, this is where people who have one thing in common, the community of No Agenda Nation, Get Together.
	It's self-organized.
	SirDaniel, set up noagendameetups.com.
	The new site will be online any day with all kinds of extra features.
	And young and old, across political lines, to everything you can imagine, everybody is different.
	Ages, sex, yes, no, all of it.
	Drinkers, non-drinkers, smokers, non-smokers.
	But you got community.
	And the reports are great.
	Here's the report from Capitol 33, the congregation.
	Okay, here we are at the Capital 33 congregation.
	We had a pretty good turnout.
	We got 100% call-out turnout ratio.
	The Canby Realtor and Millennial Mail showed up.
	This is Sir Furry Fury, John and Adam.
	It's not Sir Furry Fury.
	Handing it off to the next one.
	I thought it was Furry Fury also.
	In the morning, John and Adam.
	This is soon to be Dame Andrea.
	In the morning, John and Adam.

	It's gorgeous shorts here in the morning.
	Meow.
	Yay!
	I got ants!
	It's been another great meetup here in the Denver area.
	Another one in two weeks.
	Just dumb on me.
	If you didn't know better and you listened to these meetup reports, you'd be like, is this a meetup of Tourette sufferers who just like...
	I got ants to a mac and cheese!
	They're kind of maniacs with these people.
	Here's the TMI Evac Zone meetup report.
	In the morning, John and Adam.
	It's the Three Mile Island Evacuation Zone meetup.
	I'm here with my lovely wife.

	I never heard his voice.
	That's nice.
	Two more.
	A Southeast North Carolina meet-up.
	Well, John and Adam, I completely borked our first attempt at this.
	So this is the Southeast North Carolina No Agenda meet-up.
	Same chances.
	John, Castell.
	Which was I? Making our own milieu.
	This is Nick Hoffman.
	In the morning!
	Hey guys!
	This is Duke Walkman of Ohio.
	Sir Walkman.
	And I'm at the North Carolina East Meetup in Wilmington.
	In the morning!
	Pretty sure this guy's a spook.
	Stay safe!
	In the morning, John and Adam.
	Hey, no, Jenna Nation is Harrison, the organizer of the Wilmington Meetup.
	We had a great turnout.
	It's like a party.
	Well, guys, I completely borked it.
	So sorry.
	There was a bunch more people here.
	Better luck next time.
	I'll try to grow a brain.
	I would like to mention to people who don't know, these reports come in and it's kind of like a puzzle.
	There's people just handing a phone around and I'm cutting out silences and all that stuff.
	And if you are wondering why you weren't in the collage because you said John turned down your speakers, now you know.
	Don't do that.
	It's not funny anymore.
	Protection.
	Final meetup report.
	Yeah, it's a bit, it's dated.
	It's dated, and I haven't said that in so long.
	I said, if you said, John, lower down one DB, one dog biscuit, okay, maybe.
	No, no, Di, you're encouraging me.
	All right, we have the final meetup report.
	This was from the big Nashville meetup, the Love Skate meetup organized by Sir Patrick Kobol and, of course, assisted by Dame Jennifer.
	Howdy, howdy, No Agenda producers all over the world.
	This is the Duke of the South at the No Agenda Valentine skate-up meet-up of love.
	You should be here.
	We miss you, Adam and Tina.
	I know you want to be here, but we got kids tearing up the floor, and we got people chatting.
	And doing meet-up things.
	And we're about to start tearing into some hot chicken and some sweets.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.

	It's Hey guys, this is James, the demented preacher.
	Sir, no real ID, and we're out here.
	Skate or die!
	The only way.
	Happy Valentine's Day, everybody.
	Holy crap, I'm tired.
	Just the onslaught.
	Thank you.
	Thank you, everybody.
	Good reports.
	Sounds like Gitmo Nation is thriving and well.
	Here's a couple of meetups you can attend today.
	Kicking on.
	Well, it's already underway.
	The New Berlin Ale House.
	That's the Southeastern Wisconsin meetup.

	They can get out and do a meetup?
	We'll find out.
	And finally, the 26th of March, Rhode Island.
	These are just a sampling of the many, many meetups that are available at noagendameetups.com.
	Please consider going to one.
	If you can't find anything near you, start one.
	It's easy.
	NoagendaMeetups.com Be a baby like a party.
	Party, party, party.
	I only have one ISO today.
	It's only one.
	I have two.
	I'll play mine.
	Get up, play.
	That's all I got.
	You played that one last time.
	No, this is a new one.
	Okay, let's go with the two I've got.
	I've got Never Wrong.
	And I'm never wrong about this stuff.
	Okay.
	And then I have something I've said, well, maybe this would be the way to end the show.
	Especially with those meetup reports.
	The ISO scream.
	Yeah, that's the one.
	There's no doubt about it.
	What are you saying about the meetup reports?
	Come on, John.
	This is unique to the best podcast in the universe.
	Yes, definitely.
	Come on, man.
	Come on, man.
	You need to go to another meetup.
	You're getting jaded.
	I like these meetups.
	You're getting jaded, man.
	Jaded, bro.
	Now, I got a couple things I can play.
	One's the dollar store horror story.
	The dollar store with all the rats.
	Wow, I had this clip, too.
	Let's play that one because we both had it.
	And then I have one, I got one last clip, which is the Biden clip, but yeah, okay, play the dollar store's horror story.
	The Food and Drug Administration says more than 1,000 rodents were found inside a family dollar distribution facility in West Memphis, Arkansas.
	And after complaints, inspectors went into the building and found live and dead rodents, feces, dead birds, and bird droppings.
	The Food and Drug Administration says it is now working with Family Dollar to start a voluntary recall of affected products including food for people and pets, dietary supplements, cosmetics, medical devices and over-the-counter medications.
	They were purchased in January or February from Family Dollar stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri or Tennessee.
	Finally, these people are doing their job.
	Yeah, get back to the rat poop.
	Yeah, rat poop inspectors.
	It's about time.
	Let me play one clip and then you can finish it up with Biden.
	Okay.
	Because this deals with my favorite topic.
	Because we are now probably about 9,999 away.
	Yes, thousands of sealed indictments are starting to be unveiled.
	Yes.
	It may take me 10 years, but it's going to happen.
	And here's General Flynn to tell us all about it.
	So where I think this is going is I think that Durham, he has a grand jury.
	He is definitely putting people in front of that grand jury.
	And I think I think what you're going to start to see is you're going to start to see even more of them exposed and potentially...
	Some of the more senior people up the ladder are going to be receiving indictments.
	And I also believe one last point, Kara, I'm sorry, one last point I would make is that I believe that Durham does have Those key people that are cooperating with him now because they know they got caught dead to rights.
	Those key people, and I know, and I think I could probably surmise a couple of them, because I do believe that they probably thought that they were the right thing, and then when they realized it was the wrong thing.
	They probably have said, look, I'll cooperate.
	I don't want to get caught up in this.
	I gave my judgment to the president or to the vice president or to the director of the FBI or to the director of the CIA. That's what I believe is happening right now.
	Love it!
	Can't wait.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Well, good.
	I mean, Durham has thrown the, you know, pointing the finger at Hillary's campaign.
	There's all kinds of issues going on.
	There's no doubt about that.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	I like it.
	So back to wrap the show around to a circle, we go back to Harris and the fact that the theory you have is that she's being groomed, groomed like a whore, to be the next president.
	John?
	Groomed like a whore?
	Well, I'm just referring to you, the grooming is normally, you know, in those terms.
	But okay, I'm sorry I said that word.
	That's okay, that's all right.
	But so, it brings me back to something we don't play enough of, which are the...
	And I think the Democrat Party knows this, and everybody kind of says, oh, this Biden guy.
	We don't play it in this country, these gaffes.
	But the Aussies love it.
	And they...
	There's a number of commentators on Sky News Australia that keep bringing up.
	This is from like two or three months ago and I didn't catch it the first time around.
	But it's a good end of show clip.
	This is another takedown of Biden by these Australian cynics who just like to ridicule Biden for being kind of a bumbler, even though on the world stage, I think this is more clear to everybody than it is to the Americans themselves.
	Because our news media won't play this sort of clip.
	Welcome back to the Friday showdown.
	I'm sorry.
	Did you want to say more?
	I'm sorry.
	It's called Older Sky News Biden Blast.
	Welcome back to the Friday showdown.
	And let's dive into this week's edition of what in God's name is Joe Biden trying to say?
	No little expression.
	Time is money.
	As one computer said, if you're on the train and they say Portal Bridge, you know, you better make other plans.
	Let's let's go over what he just said there.
	Let's just not ignore that.
	Let's go over it.
	As one computer said, if you're on the train and they say Portal Bridge, you know you better make other plans.
	I've got nothing.
	Okay, let's leave that to one side and see what else the President said this week.
	In fact, we're taking a page from Terry's book on his governor and when he'd be governor next time.
	We're emerging from this pandemic.
	We want to expand pre-K for three and four-year-olds, millions of pre-K. This man needs a retirement home and a warm bowl of soup.
	Good old Sky News, man.
	Those guys are good.
	Perfect humor for the end of the show.
	And we have three end of show mixes.
	Very nice.
	We've got...
	What do we have here?
	ID Pop.
	We've got Sir737 with Dame737.
	And we have Sound Guy Steve.
	Now, coming up next, live on noagendastream.com, is Bowls with Buds, live with Sir Spencer and Dame DeLorean.
	Special guest, Dave Jones from Podcasting 2.0.
	That means they'll be testing out some live boosting.
	Check that out.
	Stuff in the chat room.
	You should hang around for that, people.
	It'll be good.
	Hear what Dave has to say.
	And I am coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country.
	It's here in FEMA Region No.
	6.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, I'm John C. Devorak.
	We return on Thursday with another thrilling episode of Kamala being groomed as a whore?
	Remember us...
	Like a whore.
	Like a whore.
	Remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA. Until then, adios, mofos!
	This country is a country of openness, of respect, of compassion, of the rights of the individuals, of of compassion, of the rights of the individuals, of freedom.
	Freedom from fear.
	Freedom to do what you want with your body.
	Freedom to do what you want with you.
	For God's sake, give more freedom to the people.
	But I have also expressed hateful rhetoric, violence towards fellow citizens, and a disrespect, not just of science, but of the frontline health workers and, quite frankly, the truckers who have been doing the right thing to keep Canadians safe.
	Canadians know where I stand.
	Forward to the people.
	Free.
	Canadian governments have failed to stand up for fundamental human rights.
	When governments do not protect their citizens' rights, everyone ends up paying.
	That's the lesson that I certainly hope that this will lead to.
	You cannot systematically, repeatedly, deliberately ignore charter rights of any citizen.
	The concerns expressed by a few people gathered in Ottawa right now are not new, not surprising.
	You now need to understand.
	You're breaking laws.
	We've heard your frustration with COVID. I think that's insulting.
	It's clear that they let us off the hook for a very good reason.
	Because we paid them $600 million.
	You don't get stellar headlines like these without breezing the wheels.
	The federal government has invoked the Emergencies Act.
	The scope of these measures...
	We'll be reasonable.
	This is about keeping Canadians safe and restoring confidence in our institutions.
	The level of admiration I actually have for China because they're a dictatorship.
	There is a flexibility that I dream about of having a dictatorship.
	We should bring people together like the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
	To exploit anxiety, to turn it into fear and blame.
	Thank you, Professor Schwab, for your warm welcome.
	If you are looking for a country that will not just manage this change, but take advantage of it, there has never been a better time to look to Canada.
	Freedom.
	Okay.
	Tackling come to get on board.
	Riding with Bart until he ain't no more.
	He's gonna die.
	And we won't know why.
	slaves.
	Don't ask no questions.
	Kathleen come a-waiting in line.
	Two years in and is way past time.
	But Joe, he's still around.
	She's wearing that crown.
	Joe's gotta go.
	He takes too many questions.
	Yeah!
	Oh, she loves her.
	Show her daddy when he's gone.
	Then she'll be happy.
	She's number two, but she'll be president.
	Kathleen Kamala, it's your turn.
	That's what you thought, but you misheard.
	Joe's not gone, cause he keeps hanging on.
	Ha ha ha ha ha!
	Your whole life is happening in different dimensions.
	Memory, present experience, and imagination.
	This is your life.
	When we wrote and passed the bipartisan infrastructure law, we included $7.5 billion for electric vehicle chargers.
	49% of registered voters disagree with the statement, Joe Biden is mentally fit.
	All your experience of life is happening here.
	We're going to buy America.
	American products made in America, including American component parts.
	If you lose distinction between what is past, what is present, what is future, then everything hurts.
	The science is saying now that mass work, mass make a difference.
	People think if they're suffering, they are very intellectual, they are very profound.
	In the meantime, I'm going to do everything in my power to deal with the big points that are impacting most people in their homes.
	It's just stupid.
	Well, look, what's happening is every day that goes by, children are more protected.
	We're now on the verge of being able to have shots for children under the age of seven.
	Because you're suffering something that doesn't exist.
	You're not suffering what's happening right now.
	Let there be no doubt.
	Now that I am president, this is a presidential White House priority.
	Period.
	We can end cancer as we know it.
	There is a relationship between the number of cases you have in your community and the need to wear a mask.
	You know, look, I committed that I would follow the science.
	No one told me to get out.
	I think it's probably premature, but it's, you know, it's a tough call.
	You're suffering what happened yesterday, and you're suffering something that may happen tomorrow already.
	It's just stupid.
	What I've asked is, American citizens should leave now.
	No way that was going to happen.
	So the more protection I have, probably you're going to see less and less young children.
	So this madness has been increased simply because we never train people how to use their faculties.
	I've rejected them.
	Best podcast in the universe!
