	Oh, you sold out!
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Sunday, March 13th, 2022.
	This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media assassination episode 1433.
	This is No Agenda.
	Cackling with Kamala and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No.
	6.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where we're hearing about a maternity hospital that's been hit.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	Wait a minute.
	That's what you said on the last show.
	Yeah, that's all they talk about.
	You're repeating material?
	Or they are repeating material?
	That's all they talk about.
	Just so you know, I received a couple of emails from people who listened to the opening of the last show and said, I'm not listening ever again to No Agenda.
	Or, alternatively, I'm taking a break from No Agenda because we were very insensitive about the dead babies.
	There were no dead babies, were there?
	Ah, but see, this is the problem.
	There were married babies.
	There were babies in the rubble.
	But we were laughing about it being fake.
	Or possibly being fake.
	Well, we were laughing about the repetitive nature of the same exact reporting.
	And if people think that's, like, I don't know what they've been listening to all along.
	That's what we do.
	You know what's interesting, though?
	And I'm starting to reply to people who say these things.
	I said, you know, okay, you complain about our reporting of the Ukraine children, but you're kind of racist.
	Because where was your concern for the Somalian children or the Yemenese children or even the Canadian children?
	Yemen, they're bombing the crap out of them.
	But wait!
	Because then the next, you got to follow up by saying, of course you're not racist.
	It's because of the programming.
	If the mainstream was showing dead Somali children all day long, you'd feel bad for them too.
	That's the point of what's happening.
	I mean, COVID isn't even, it's done, it's over.
	Well, it's not because there's stuff happening, but nothing else is being reported on.
	Nothing.
	So it's the programming that makes you feel that way and makes you not feel that way about the Uyghurs, other atrocities.
	No, you don't care about that because it's not being shoved in your face 24-7.
	Or maybe you're just racist.
	That's also possible.
	Well, anyone who sent those types of notes in probably doesn't donate, and if they did, it was just random.
	No, we had a long-timer.
	I'm sorry.
	Okay, I'm insensitive now by commenting about the donating.
	But, I will say this.
	This is our show, and we're not really...
	If there was actual dead babies, yeah, we're not going to...
	But all they do is talk about, and they have the same one woman coming out on the gurney.
	Not a gurney, but a flag drape.
	Well, there's the influencer.
	You saw her?
	There's multiple pictures of this Instagram influencer.
	No, I didn't see.
	Yeah, yeah, she's in multiple shows.
	The point is, we are in an incredible information war.
	The news is showing video circling online.
	I mean, that's not evidence of anything, and we just view all of this as television producers who have participated in nothing like this, but all kinds of fakery, because that's what television is.
	No, but that's what television is.
	It's just what it is.
	I'm not listening anymore.
	I'm taking a break.
	I'm taking a break.
	I'd rather listen to Joy Reid.
	But this is the next thing.
	We are still in a state of mass formation.
	So it's very logical that this is the new mask.
	It's like, we can all hate Putin.
	That's easy.
	How come you don't hate Putin?
	You're not on board, man.
	Something wrong with you.
	You see, this is the problem.
	I'm not saying we love or hate him, but that's not the point.
	We're not incessantly virtue signaling about it.
	Well, that brings me to some clips.
	Okay.
	Well, can we do a little opening, just a headline to get some of the fear into us first?
	29 seconds, just so we can feel it.
	Good Friday morning, everyone.
	We begin with Russian forces inching closer to Ukraine's capital.
	Russia's military is now less than 10 miles from the center of Kyiv.
	That massive Russian convoy outside the capital is now repositioning.
	New satellite images show troops in that convoy breaking up, moving into towns and into the woods.
	It comes as Congress passes $13.6 billion in humanitarian aid for Ukraine.
	And today, President Biden will ask Congress to end normal trade relations between U.S. and Russia.
	There you go.
	How you feel now, everybody?
	Feel good?
	Hello?
	It's not about Putin.
	I'm sorry.
	Did you say something?
	Because I missed everything you said.
	Nothing came through.
	You didn't hear me?
	No.
	No.
	What did you say?
	I said it's not about Putin.
	What do you mean it's not about Putin?
	It's about Trump.
	Ah, good.
	Let's roll him.
	What do you got?
	Well, I have a lot.
	Okay, go.
	I'm ready for it.
	It's always about Trump.
	Well, let's start with Al Sharpton.
	Oh, brother.
	Where is he?
	This is under Trump targeted by Sharpton, starting with the word Trump.
	Yes, got it.
	Susan, this week Donald Trump was on Fox News.
	During the interview with Sean Hannity, Trump was teed up to call out Putin for being evil or say something amounting to it, but he repeatedly declined.
	According to the Washington Post, this comes as a new poll shows how unpopular Vladimir Putin is in the States.
	An unfavorable rate of 90%.
	Now, Trump will be speaking tonight in South Carolina.
	Does his stance on Putin sway his supporters?
	Can Republicans really go into the midterms with Trump as the standing bearer if we are in this kind of standoff with Russia?
	Well, the Republicans are going to go into the midterms with Trump as its standard bearer, whether they like it or not.
	Donald Trump is not going away.
	He's going to keep his message there.
	It's inexplicable why he would do such a thing, Ralph.
	It makes no sense.
	It's easy to call out Putin for the evil tyrant that he is.
	He's committing war crimes, and Donald Trump cannot bring himself to call the man evil or take him down.
	We've always said there's a lot with his relationship with Russia and specifically with Putin.
	Maybe we'll learn more about it, but I don't expect him to change.
	And sadly, the worst part is that this hurts us in a form of national security.
	I'm surprised that they'd politicize this.
	Oh, it's gone beyond that.
	I mean, first, if you notice that Sharpton pointed out Hannity was the one trying to get Trump to say Putin was evil.
	Interesting.
	Yeah, well, that's Fox News' message.
	Putin, bad man.
	And so...
	Yeah, Putin, bad man, and all the rest, and you can't, unless you say he's evil, then you're on the side, because you listen to these commentators go on and on about how many people are supposedly, quote-unquote, pro-Putin.
	Yeah.
	And they're not, nobody's pro-Putin, and just as an aside, by the way, Mark Levin, Levin, Levin, Levin.
	Levin.
	The great one.
	Mm-hmm.
	He always pronounces it Putin.
	He says Putin.
	Oh, really?
	We all know it's Putin.
	It's Putin.
	Putin.
	And I was always wondering why he might be saying Putin, and it's an NLP thing.
	It's very subtle.
	Hmm.
	Because Putin sounds like Rasputin.
	Oh, I see.
	Anyway, just for people out there who listen to these guys.
	So let's go to hell with that.
	Let's move up a ladder to NBC and go to Chuck Todd.
	And Chuck Todd's going to bring in, he's got Nikki Haley on, and we got him setting up, doing the same thing with the Trump setup.
	Nikki Haley and the anti-Trump setup.
	Play something here that Vice President Pence, former Vice President, said on Friday.
	I'm curious of your reaction to it.
	He said, there's no room in this party for apologists for Putin.
	There's only room for champions of freedom.
	As you know, there's been some flirtations on the right with Putin, although ever since he actually invaded, some of those folks have taken some of those things back.
	For those that have said nice things about Putin, including your former boss, President Trump, what do you say to them?
	Wow, so as a part of the, so, oh, okay, I see what's happening.
	So we're canceling Russia.
	Let's see if we can throw Trump and the Republicans into the wake, or into, what do you call it, when the Titanic went down, what is that, that circle?
	Yeah, the whirlpool.
	The whirlpool that sucks you down in, yeah.
	Sucks you down.
	Wow, what a bunch of dicks.
	I thought it was all about the dead children.
	They're all doing it, and they're all pointing, and they're trying to sink the rip.
	This is desperation for the midterms.
	Well, let me ask you, because Trump is definitely out there talking to people, and his message is somewhat tedious.
	It's like, well, it didn't happen during my time.
	I knew this would happen.
	It's like he is playing up against it, so do you think it's not desperation on his part?
	I don't think.
	I think he's just being defensive.
	I don't think he's being desperate.
	Okay.
	But they're slamming him.
	The messaging is he's pro-Putin.
	His crowds aren't as big.
	Right.
	Just a number, of course.
	Did you hear about his plane?
	His plane had to go back with engine failure?
	No.
	Man, you got to hate that.
	Yeah, still good.
	And I'm not sure if it was because he sent out a message.
	I can't remember where I got it.
	Maybe through text message.
	I hate that.
	I still get them from the Republicans and Democrats.
	And it was, do you want to see that?
	So there's a new Trump force one coming.
	And I don't know if this was the new plane or if the new one is still coming.
	Or it's just repainted.
	That's probably exactly what's going on.
	Now, I could have had a thousand examples of this, and it's constant, and it's very subtle, so I'm going to get to the subtlest of them.
	Wait, do we don't have Nikki Haley's comeback?
	If you want it.
	Yeah, I want to hear what she said.
	Well, that was an option, but let me set that one up.
	Okay.
	So he sets up Nikki Haley for like, you know, you're either...
	They're using a Republican technique, by the way.
	I've got to give the Democrats some credit.
	This is a, you're with us or you're against us.
	Yeah, that was Bush.
	George W. Yeah, you're with us and you're with the terrorists.
	George W. is the best.
	He was, you're with us or you're against us.
	Or you're with the terrorists.
	Or you're with the terrorists.
	So you're either with...
	You're either with Putin or you're against Putin.
	So now we have...
	She wasn't going to fall for this.
	No, I didn't think she was smarter than that.
	Yeah, well, she's a global leader.
	That's right.
	She's a young massager.
	What is it?
	The...
	No, she's a global leader.
	No, but what were the other ones called?
	The other one was the influencer or some sponsor.
	No, no, no.
	Shaper, shaper, shaper.
	Shaper.
	I like massager better.
	Shaper.
	She's a shaper.
	She's a shapeshifter.
	Yeah.
	So she wasn't going to go for any of this.
	And so she uses that as an opportunity.
	This is a politician at work.
	And so here's what she comes back with.
	Well, first I'll tell you, my very first speech at the United Nations was in support of Ukraine and hitting Russia.
	Protocol at the United Nations was to meet with the Russian ambassador first, and I purposely threw protocol out the window and met with the Ukrainian ambassador first.
	Putin is an evil tyrant.
	He has proven it whether he tries to poison his political opponents, whether he shoots down planes, whether he assists Assad with chemical weapons in Syria.
	He has shown us time and time again that he is evil.
	What I will tell you about...
	President Trump is as much as everybody wants to talk about what he says, what I look at is what he did.
	He sanctioned Russia.
	He expelled diplomats.
	He shut off Nord Stream 2, which is all Putin ever wanted.
	He built up our military and he made us energy independent.
	All of those things countered Putin and countered Russia.
	This never would have happened under Trump.
	What we have to look at now is how do we make sure this doesn't go further under Biden?
	What did Chip Todd get to say to that?
	Oh, he had a whole...
	No, he had a presentation.
	He was ready for it.
	Of all the stuff that Trump wanted to do.
	He unfortunately made this mistake because she was ready for this too.
	He said, well, Trump wanted to do this and Trump wanted to do that.
	Lesson the sanctions, do this and that.
	And then she threw right back at him.
	She said, hey, he wanted to do this and wanted to do that.
	I just said, what did he actually do?
	That's what you want to pay attention to.
	And so Chuck had no...
	Yeah, but Chuck knows people who are familiar with the former president's thinking.
	Yes.
	Which is what all their sources were.
	Let me interject with our current president for a moment, because this speech that he gave at the Democratic House Caucus, I think?
	I think it was the Democratic National Committee.
	Was it the DNC? It might have been the DNC. Yeah, it was the DNC. I found this to be quite outrageous.
	I mean, this is real war talk that he's throwing out here.
	I want to be clear, though.
	We're going to make sure Ukraine has the weapons to defend themselves from invading Russian force.
	That right by itself is just almost a direct declaration of war.
	I mean, gee, weapons is weapons can also be personnel and advisors and consultants.
	We will send money and food aid to save your Ukrainian lives.
	We're going to welcome Ukrainian refugees with open arms if, in fact, they come all the way here.
	A tepid applause, too.
	As we provide this support to Ukraine, we're going to continue.
	To stand together with our allies in Europe and send an unmistakable message that we will defend every inch of NATO territory, every single inch, with a united, galvanized NATO. One movement.
	That's why I've moved over 12,000 American forces along the borders with Russia, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Romania, etc.
	Because they move once.
	Granted, if we respond, it is World War III, but we have a sacred obligation.
	On NATO territory, a sacred obligation, Article 5.
	And we will not, although we will not, fight the Third World War in Ukraine.
	Putin's war against Ukraine will never be a victory.
	Democrats are rising to meet the moment, rallying the world on the side of peace and security.
	We're showing...
	What?!
	That's funny.
	Where are we?
	We're in peace and security?
	Let me just check here.
	We will not, although we will not, fight the Third World War in Ukraine.
	Putin's war against Ukraine will never be a victory.
	Democrats are rising to meet the moment, rallying the world on the side of peace and security.
	We're showing the strength and we'll never falter.
	But look, the idea that we're going to send in offensive equipment and have planes and tanks and trains...
	Going in with American pilots and American crews, just understand, and don't kid yourself, no matter what you all say, that's called World War III. Okay?
	Okay.
	Let's get it straight here, guys.
	Okay, okay.
	That whole expression, don't kid a kidder.
	I have no idea what he means at the end there.
	It's baffling to me.
	But it sounds like this is his one-inch speech.
	So if one thing happens one inch inside a NATO country, then we will unleash the wrath of hell.
	But it won't be in Ukraine.
	And maybe that's just about Ukraine, because the vice president had this message in Poland.
	So, I will say what I know we all say, and I will say over and over again.
	This is perhaps the best performative I've ever heard a politician use.
	I mean, that was a triple performative.
	So, I will say what I know we all say, and I will say over and over again.
	The United States stands firmly with the Ukrainian people in defense of the NATO alliance.
	I mean, yeah, it sounds like she may be a bit confused.
	What does Ukraine have to do with the NATO alliance?
	Well, the question is, does the vice president know that Ukraine is not in NATO, or has she been briefed poorly?
	Did she get her briefing from Dropbox this morning?
	Come on, that's supposed to be funny.
	That was supposed to make you laugh.
	I probably was thinking of another joke.
	Another joke.
	Is the Patricia Arquette tweets, which I put in a couple of newsletters ago, or at least I posted it on No Agenda Social, where she says, I don't understand why people just shoot their mouths off.
	They don't even know what they're doing.
	They don't even pay any attention.
	They don't do any research.
	And then like two years later, she says, Kicked Russia out of NATO. That tweet still exists?
	That's still up?
	I think maybe.
	Please tell me.
	There's this guy called DefiantLS, I think is his name.
	And he's on Twitter.
	And if you can catch some of these tweets, all he does is he isolates two or three-year-old tweets and then contrasts them with what the person is saying today.
	And they're just dynamite.
	I use them as a...
	There's a bit on the newsletter called Hypocrite of the Week.
	And it's just, believe me, there's hundreds.
	Oh, I'm sure, I'm sure.
	Well, how about everyone who was going to move to Canada?
	That was pretty funny.
	Where'd they go?
	So you turned us on to Ukraine on Fire, a 2016 movie produced by Oliver Stone, that was being taken off the streamers, and immediately everyone was finding it everywhere.
	So by now I think everyone has seen this documentary.
	By the way, when I said take it off the streamers, I meant the big boys.
	Yeah, the big boys.
	Netflix, Amazon.
	Not Rumble, not Bitchute.
	It was also on YouTube.
	It was still on YouTube, which was surprising.
	I thought it was this alternative one on YouTube.
	No, no, no.
	It's the same one.
	But there's another one.
	There was a follow-up to that in 2019, which we probably missed because, I don't know, COVID, something else was going on.
	Did you see the Revealing Ukraine documentary?
	I did not.
	Holy crap.
	So this is a clip from it.
	Now, I'm not sure whether to think this is predictive programming, i.e.
	fear porn, or I don't know, but this is two minutes.
	It is chopped up from that documentary, and they've kind of made, in a way, half of it is like a mock report about what is happening right now in Ukraine, except they did it in 2019 by splicing news reports together.
	It's like a meta thing.
	It's the Russian military going head-to-head against the Ukrainian military.
	There will be victims.
	Russian President Vladimir Putin blamed the Ukrainian government for the crisis.
	And then the war begins, in which Russia will naturally be declared the aggressor.
	Fighting has intensified.
	Russia set off an international crisis.
	In Ukraine, Russia's now at war there.
	Ukrainian tanks will move to the Donbass in order to destroy the unrecognized republics with one blow.
	Will President Trump finally confront Putin's act of aggression against Ukraine?
	And in order to save citizens, Russian troops will come forward to meet them.
	The Hungarian army will defend the Hungarian citizens living in the west of Ukraine.
	The mayor has declared a humanitarian crisis and has appealed to the United Nations for help.
	Poland will announce the mobilization of reservists.
	There will be a real chance to return the lands that were torn off by the Soviet Union in 1939.
	The UN Security Council will hold an emergency session on the Ukraine crisis.
	And what the whole world feared during the Cold War will happen.
	Moscow's, Brussels, and Washington's bad dream will come true.
	We want to return now to some breaking news this morning.
	We're just learning about the movement of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz and four other ships.
	No one wants a full-scale war.
	For those who are still in control in Kiev, the only way to avoid defeat and destruction is to organize a provocation The armies of Russia and NATO will come into military conflict.
	This will be the beginning of a withering Armageddon.
	Only scorched earth will remain.
	The world will be engulfed in a giant flame.
	Probably the last war for humanity.
	Just because someone in Kiev really wants to remain in power.
	So, how about that?
	And it's because of that very video that Tina and I are taking the first week of April vacation because I gotta be ready for what's coming in mid-April.
	I'm sorry to pop this on you.
	IRS? No.
	For the past two years, mid-April has been pretty bad.
	Flatten the curve.
	All this stuff.
	So, I don't know what they're planning, man.
	This is out of control.
	I think these people are out of control.
	Well, I don't know how long they can stretch this out.
	From what I understand, Putin...
	Getting back to my original point, this is about Trump in the midterms.
	Well, if the media is so focused now on Trump in the midterms, then they must be doing it because they know this will be resolved relatively soon?
	Don't you think?
	Or they would, I mean, they would crank it up even higher if they could.
	If it's similar to the Georgia incursion, it should be over yesterday.
	It's kind of Georgia, but there's also a Syrian element.
	And the U.N. Security Council will convene today at Russia's request to discuss Moscow's claims of U.S. biological activities in Ukraine.
	Those claims were given without any evidence.
	Without any evidence.
	Oh, yeah, you know what's interesting?
	Did you see this guy?
	Sorry?
	Did you see this guy at the United Nations Security Council?
	The Russian guy?
	Oh my goodness.
	No.
	Oh.
	You have clips?
	Yeah.
	Well, there's only one clip.
	Oh, definitely.
	It's...
	Hold on a second.
	Where is this?
	And by the way, while you're looking for that, I've been watching these shows, and they have brought back the red line and the fact that we did nothing when the Syrians used gas on their own people and blah, blah, blah, which has been debunked.
	What?
	How many infinite times has been debunked it was done by the rebels themselves?
	Yeah.
	Here is the Russian delegation.
	They called an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council, and they did actually present evidence, which I have a link to it in the show notes.
	It's in Russian, so I'm not quite sure if it's evidence of anything, but they say they found evidence in these bioweapon labs.
	And here's a minute 15 of him talking about it with a translator, of course.
	Our military became aware of the details of the Project UP4, which was being conducted in laboratories of Kiev, Kharkov and Odessa.
	The goal is to study the possibility of spreading particularly dangerous infections using migratory birds.
	And this includes a highly pathogenic...
	Migratory birds?
	It's everyone's favorite.
	...infections using migratory birds.
	And this includes a highly pathogenic influenza H5N1, whose lethality for people reaches 50%, as well as the Newcastle disease.
	There was another project where the vector of the potential agents of biological weapon, bats, were considered.
	Yes.
	Amongst priority areas for study, they include the bacterial and viral pathogens that could spread from bats to people, such as plague, leptospirosis, as well as filoviruses and coronaviruses.
	As can see from the project documents, the United States actively funded the biological projects in Ukraine.
	Experiments were being conducted to study the spread of dangerous diseases using ectoparasites such as lice and fleas.
	Even non-specialists understand that such experiments are one of the more reckless because they do not give you an opportunity to control how the situation is going to develop further.
	Without evidence.
	Got a lot of stuff in there for no evidence.
	Here's a brief rebuttal from the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.
	This is our new ambassador.
	So here are the facts.
	Facts!
	Ukraine owns and operates its own public health laboratory infrastructure.
	These facilities make it possible to detect and diagnose diseases.
	Oh, this is a security council, so Ukraine can't speak for itself.
	Well, Ukraine just spoke...
	Oh, you mean Ukraine itself?
	No, no.
	Why not?
	Could they?
	Why couldn't they?
	Not in the security council.
	Oh, no, no, they're not on the security council.
	You're right.
	You're right.
	So we, of course, are the ones that are going to speak up for them and their behalf.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	Okay.
	That's what this is.
	These facilities make it possible to detect and diagnose diseases like COVID-19, which benefit us all.
	The United States has assisted Ukraine to do this safely and securely.
	This is work that has been done proudly, clearly, and out in the open.
	This work has everything to do with protecting the health of people.
	It has absolutely nothing, absolutely nothing to do with biological weapons.
	Ooh, a repeat.
	That is a tell.
	I think that's a tell.
	Absolutely nothing.
	Absolutely nothing.
	Maybe.
	It might be.
	You're right.
	Possible tell.
	Possible tell.
	Here's another quick bit, just to leave this, from ABC. And now, new fears of false flags.
	Russia doubling down on fake claims about chemical weapons being developed by Ukraine.
	Now they're fake claims.
	Doubling down on fake claims.
	This is unbelievable.
	This is real news.
	About chemical weapons being developed by Ukraine with help from the U.S.
	It's believed in an attempt to justify Russia's own use in warfare.
	A senior U.S. official telling ABC News the Russians are now bringing hazmat suits into Ukraine.
	Russia has a track record of falsely accusing other countries of the very violations that Russia itself is perpetrating.
	President Biden declining to say if a Russian chemical attack in Ukraine would be met with a U.S. military response.
	I'm not going to speak about the intelligence, but Russia would pay a severe price if they use chemical.
	We went around.
	It just dawned on me, because she's using that age-old phrase from the old country, It's like they are doing themselves what they accuse others of.
	The way this is going right now between, certainly, Russia and the United States, it's like schoolyard stuff.
	No, no, no.
	You're doing what you're accusing us of.
	No, no, no.
	You're going to do what you're accusing us of.
	Oh, yeah, man.
	Oh, yeah.
	It's really, really...
	And the media's playing along.
	It's infantile.
	Well, the media, this is what they want.
	That's their conflict.
	They love this stuff.
	They're jizzing.
	I got two clips from your Senator Shaheen, who you brought up in the previous episode.
	I think she's from the New England area.
	New Hampshire, I think, maybe?
	New Hampshire?
	Yeah, New Hampshire, I think.
	So we had Victoria Nuland, Toria.
	Toria.
	Toria Newland testifying.
	Toria.
	And so in these two short clips, I'm surprised that no one is saying what I'm about to say because she's outright involved in government-sanctioned censorship.
	And not bashful about it.
	The Baltic countries, Poland, a number of our Eastern European allies have long experience with responding to disinformation on the part of Russia.
	Are we coordinating that effort in any way?
	Absolutely, Senator.
	I think you know the State Department's Global Engagement Center, which you all helped us stand up and supported, works 24-7 to With other allies and partners, not just in Europe, but around the world, to bring to light Russian disinformation campaigns and who is pushing them.
	We also work with the tech companies to try to take down false stories, and we are working very assiduously on all of that now.
	We're also working to try to get truth into Russia in the context of a complete freeze on On independent news going there.
	And that is an issue that is of paramount concern to all of us.
	Now, am I misinterpreting her saying we are working with the tech companies to take down information?
	Isn't that pure censorship with involvement from the government?
	I didn't play this clip.
	I had this clip, too.
	Mm-hmm.
	Yeah, hello.
	There's a part two which makes it even more interesting in light of recent news.
	So how are we replacing the information that might have been shared through social media that is no longer operating in Russia?
	Are we looking specifically in that area?
	So what I would say to you, without getting into it in too much detail, there are...
	Oh, need a classified setting, Toria?
	Yeah.
	What I would say to you, without getting into it in too much detail, there are a large number of Russian independent journalists who are now active outside the country to make use of the Internet and Telegram and other channels to get truth into Russia.
	There are huge numbers of influencers and vloggers and videographers who are themselves working to push the truth into Russia.
	And I think that is partly why the Kremlin came down so hard on independent media.
	We ourselves were doing interviews at all levels with what was left of Russian independent media and any Russian state media that would have us.
	But we are continuing to work with lots of the journalists that we already had been working with, as have our allies and partners, and trying to find as many creative ways as we can to get truth into Russia.
	you So we're pushing truth into Russia.
	We're using independent journalists mainly on Telegram.
	I have a Telegram account and it's unbelievable the amount of friends who show up and send you an important message.
	Look at this screenshot of a relative of mine in Ukraine.
	It's all true.
	You know, a screenshot of a text message.
	I know this person.
	He's a friend of my niece's.
	So the White House had a briefing yesterday, according to all the mainstream.
	Actually, I should read this.
	It's too funny from Washington Post.
	And it's fake in so many ways.
	So the headline here is...
	I just got a firewall.
	TikTok stars receive White House briefing on Ukraine.
	This was so ridiculous that even Saturday Night Live did their opening skit with a bunch of dumb TikTokers.
	So they're making it sound like, oh yeah, we're really on the cutting edge here.
	We're really helping out.
	Gen Z is going to save us.
	Dumb TikTokers.
	Yeah, dumb TikTokers.
	So the group that was there is the group Gen Z for Change.
	GenZ4Change.org.
	Let me just read.
	GenZ4Change is a non-profit organization leveraging social media to promote civil discourse and political action among our generation.
	Partnering with influencers, activists, and celebrities, we produce multimedia content on a variety of topics including COVID-19, climate change, systemic inequity, foreign policy, voting rights, and LGBTQIA plus issues.
	Hey, and you go look it up, because I love doing this stuff.
	They are a 501c4 non-profit.
	Oh, you mean you're a lobbying group.
	Hmm, let me go to donate.
	Click on the donate.
	Oh, where do you think this donation goes, John?
	Probably to some Democrats trying to get the midterms to work for them.
	Act blue.
	Act blue.
	No!
	So they made a big deal of bringing in their own people.
	Get out of here.
	Not to distract from my original point.
	No, you can go back now.
	I'm bringing you right back to it.
	No, I'm stalling.
	Can you turn your speakers down just a little bit?
	I'm having trouble.
	Oh, man, I don't know if I can.
	I can barely hear you already.
	Really?
	Hold on a second.
	Let me up the gate then.
	Go ahead.
	Leave them at a comfortable level.
	Is this comfortable for you?
	Is this comfortable for you?
	Well, it's actually down low.
	No, but turn it up.
	Turn it up a little bit for yourself.
	No, that's fine.
	Yeah, but I just need to.
	Okay, good.
	Continue.
	Let's go with this.
	Because this is your thesis.
	I'm going to bring it back into play.
	You have this one thesis that you like to bring into play.
	I'm going to start bringing it into play.
	When things are going tough and you really want to get people all riled up and you want to get them on your side, you bring in a gaze.
	You want gay sympathy.
	But I mean, male gays or just any gay?
	No, no.
	It doesn't matter.
	LGBTQ, blah, blah, blah.
	It's just the point is that you want this.
	You probably forgot your own thesis, but okay.
	Let's play this clip.
	This will bring it back.
	This is Last Resort.
	Whatever else is going on in Ukraine, we've got to have some gay bashing.
	Yeah, you've got to throw some gays off the buildings.
	Off the buildings, yes.
	No, you're right.
	This is a thesis, but that's so 2010, man.
	Here we go.
	They identify as non-binary and say this war is not only for Ukrainian territory, it's for Ukrainian values.
	And LGBTQ folks may have more at stake.
	The Russians have the list of LGBT activists in Ukraine and in Kiev particularly.
	That's Bodan Zhuk, who thinks his name is probably on that list.
	He's an activist who fled his home in Kiev for Western Ukraine at the start of the war, in part because of U.S. intelligence warnings that Russian forces might target gay Ukrainians specifically.
	Yeah, I think this is a very feeble attempt because they went, or maybe it's just the start, because the last time gays being thrown off buildings was used was Iraq.
	And if I'm not mistaken, after that we got the highly produced hostage videos with the orange jumpsuits and they were burning people.
	Oh, we need those again.
	You're putting people in cages and then lightning on fire so you couldn't get out.
	That was the best one.
	Beheading everybody.
	Never really showing the beheading, just kind of cutting off right before.
	So, I wish they would get back to those days.
	Well, you know, that's going to take a lot of nerve.
	Now, back to this last clip.
	What was this little bit at the end?
	According to sources, the U.S. intelligence community is telling the gay community that this is going to happen to them, bad things.
	Let me hear that again.
	Because of U.S. intelligence warnings that Russian forces might target gay Ukrainians specifically.
	Wow, we've got to send out the bat signal.
	What the hell was that?
	Attention all gays!
	Attention all gays!
	Please!
	I mean, come on, Paul.
	But also, now, she didn't actually just...
	Wait, hold on a second.
	Now I have to listen to it.
	By the way, that gay segment, there was an NPR. It was long.
	It had all kinds of gay stories.
	Let me listen to it again.
	That Russian forces might target gay Ukrainians specifically.
	Okay, so this is why it's hard for...
	So they are so lame, they're going back to the actual acronym from 12 years ago.
	They just took the playbook, copy-pasted, instead of updating it to at least do LGBTQ+. Well, no, it's much longer, but they could have at least upgraded it a little bit.
	There's an LGBTQ+. It's LGBTQQIAPK+. No one's going to do that, ever, except you.
	I just found this to be the, you know, and the whole thing was just...
	Well, I have a version of that.
	A version of the atrocity.
	Because Putin isn't like Hitler.
	He is actually worse than Hitler.
	Now, you didn't think that was possible.
	But he is, and that's all very subjective because people in America certainly have no idea what kind of atrocities took place in Europe in World War II. But this is the former ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul on MSNBC. Where else?
	And he will explain why Putin is in fact worse than Hitler.
	Sure.
	And I want to just say one other thing.
	I was just on Ukrainian television just 30 minutes ago.
	Brave journalists just like our team covering the war there in Kiev.
	And one of the commentators said something interesting about how horrific this war is.
	And remember, these are people who suffered under fascism that fought the Nazis.
	And then the Red Army came back through.
	One of the Russian journalists said, you know, there's one difference between Hitler and When he was coming in and Putin, Hitler didn't kill ethnic Germans.
	He didn't kill German-speaking people.
	That's a very...
	I think people need to remember that when we're talking about cities like Kharkiv...
	Well, listen to the end.
	What he's saying is Hitler didn't kill the Aryan race.
	Well, that's different than German-speaking.
	No, that's not exactly what he says.
	Hitler didn't kill ethnic Germans.
	Ethnic Germans.
	He didn't kill German-speaking people.
	That's a very...
	I think people need to remember that when we're talking about cities like Kharkiv and Mariupol and Kiev, there are large populations there, you know, up to a third and sometimes as much to a half that are Russian speakers and are ethnic Russians.
	And yet Putin doesn't seem to care about that.
	He slaughters the very people he said he has come to liberate.
	Worse than Hitler.
	Worse than Hitler.
	So, let's talk about the Nazis for a second.
	This is another thing I've received a lot of pushback on.
	It's easier for people in the West to believe that there are neo-Nazis in Charlottesville, Virginia, than it is for them to believe that there are neo-Nazis in Ukraine.
	And people are losing it.
	Which historically makes a lot of sense that there are.
	Totally.
	And people lose that.
	Do you really think?
	You really think?
	Really?
	You think so?
	It was occupied with Russia.
	Russia.
	Not the Nazis.
	Like, you don't know anything.
	And these are people from Europe.
	So here's Scott Ritter, former U.S. Marine Corps.
	Right.
	This is the clip.
	This is the guy whose clip we played twice.
	Who explained why we can't bring jets in.
	Yeah.
	But this is the clip of him explaining...
	The history of the Nazis, the neo-Nazis in Ukraine.
	What happened is...
	Stop.
	Y'all stop.
	I also want to mention that Scott Ritter has been canceled by most of our media.
	De-platformed, canceled, and this is a...
	Yeah, because he's a Marine, I guess.
	I don't know.
	Yeah.
	Oops.
	No, he's retired, so it doesn't count anymore.
	What happened is the United States and European Union mobilized...
	This virulent nationalist group out of Lvov in western Ukraine, among whom were these neo-Nazis who worshipped Stepan Bandera and the Banderista movement, which was a pro-Nazi Ukrainian national movement, carried out a resistance in that area for decades.
	These guys came in and took over Maidan.
	Violently overthrew the legitimate president of Ukraine and then imposed themselves through force of violence into the Ukrainian body politic, to give you an example of how powerful they are.
	When Poroshenko, who was the president before Zelensky, negotiated the Minsk Accords in 2014-2015, he agreed that All they had to do is give a special autonomous status to the Donetsk and Lugansk and they would stay part of Ukraine.
	He agreed with Germany and France.
	Then he came back and the neo-Nazis said...
	If you try and implement that, we'll kill you.
	Zelensky was told.
	He was elected to be the president who brought peace.
	If you remember, Zelensky toured the front line because they were supposed to disarm.
	And he went up to the Azov Battalion and he said, disarm.
	And they laughed at him, kicked him out.
	He said, I'm the president of Ukraine.
	They said, shut up, we'll slap you.
	He had to leave.
	And he was told, if you sign Minsk, we will hang you by the neck until dead.
	That's the control these people have.
	And they've done it in the military.
	You know, these people should have been disbanded, arrested, shot.
	Instead, the military absorbed them and then promoted their officers throughout the ranks so that there's neo-Nazis everywhere.
	And the biggest embarrassment of all is when British, American, and Canadian troops go to Ukraine to train that military and NATO tactics, NATO equipment, the photographs show that they're training the Azov Battalion because those were the first units Ukrainian military brought forward for training.
	We trained Nazis.
	Clear to me.
	Yeah.
	I think Ritter's probably got it right.
	Sounds like it to me.
	I mean, we followed the...
	Came off the air.
	Came off the air.
	He's ruining things.
	Well, and this is, again...
	Where'd you get that clip?
	It's from Rumble.
	It's from Rumble, man.
	Come on.
	It's where all the cool shit is happening, baby.
	Rumble.
	Well, you know, BitChute has, I think, is a good competitor.
	There's a third one.
	What's the third one?
	I can't remember.
	Well, there's Odyssey.
	Well, the one you want, really, is noagendatube.com.
	I mean, noagendatube.com.
	I've seen noagendatube.com.
	Where did that come from?
	Oh, that's Alex Gates, man.
	That's where Dame Jennifer puts up animated noagendatube.
	It's all kinds of stuff.
	We got one guy doing market reports every day.
	The market surfer, I think his name is.
	No, no, this is building, and this is a peer tube, so the bandwidth is not like a YouTube problem.
	It's not chewing it up and killing us.
	Well, you're sharing.
	You're sharing your bandwidth.
	Sharing.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	I'm going to get back to my Trump clips.
	Okay, please.
	Because it's kind of a wraparound, even though I'm looking for some other stuff.
	I could play this in the meantime.
	Well, no, go, because then I want to get into the cancellation of Russia.
	So let's talk about cancellation of Trump.
	Let's go.
	This is, again, this is now NPNRS. Remember when I started off with my...
	My thinking that a lot of this is all about the midterm elections and, you know, marginalizing Trump and making the Republicans look bad and pro-Putin.
	So just so I can frame that for myself.
	So the warmongering, the ratcheting that we're hearing from the media, which is an amplification of the Biden administration...
	They're so confident with what they're doing that they're really just extending this to gain political advantage for the midterm election.
	They really don't care about Ukraine.
	Yes, I would say that.
	That's good.
	That means that there's a lot of bull crap going on.
	I want to mention the irony to this, of course, is that when the Republicans all get in, they're worse warmongers.
	Oh, it's the same thing, of course.
	Yeah, duh.
	He'll continue, but here's what would happen.
	The media, once the Republicans take over the House and Senate, and I'm assuming that will happen.
	Wait, the media wants them to?
	No, they don't.
	Oh, I thought you said wants them to.
	That's why they're doing this.
	Hello?
	It's so like, let's beat up on these Republicans and Trump and beat them up as much as we can in every way we can.
	That is so cynical of you.
	Yes, it is.
	Gosh, golly.
	Let's beat them up every way we can to keep them from gaining power.
	And so we'll do it by emphasizing this Ukraine situation.
	Well, you know what?
	I'm sorry to interrupt, but you're right.
	They brought out the gay thing for Ukraine, and they rolled out the gay thing for Ron DeSantis in Florida, the so-called Don't Say Gay Bill.
	Again, not an LGBTQ bill, no.
	Don't Say Gay Bill.
	Which no one says gay anymore.
	I know, it's just hilarious.
	Now, well, we've said it a hundred times on this show so far, but back to that moment.
	Here's what'll happen if Putin doesn't pull the rug out from under this war as fast as he can.
	Yeah.
	Because if the war continues, which I can't see it going all the way to the midterms, but it could, and the Republicans get in, then the war will be...
	You could say, well, once you're past the midterms and the Democrat, then they'll pull the plug on this war, on the coverage.
	But what they'll do is, once the Republicans get in, because they're more warmongery than the Democrats...
	Yeah, they'll flip the message.
	The media will flip the message and blame them for everything.
	Okay.
	You can put it in the red book.
	So here we go.
	Wait, do you think they can succeed with this demagoguery?
	Do you think that they can actually make the American voters change their mind about voting them out?
	Which is what it is.
	It would be a referendum on the Democrat Party.
	Well, do I think that the Republicans will get the Democrats ousted?
	No, no.
	Do I think that the media will succeed?
	No.
	Okay, I just want to make sure.
	No, they can't do it because the Republicans are all in on this war and they're the ones...
	You know, you can say that, oh, you know, they used to be...
	And blah, blah, blah, but it's not going to fly.
	But everybody virtue signals, hey, I hate Putin, but, you know, I'm a Republican.
	I hate Putin, but, you know, I hate Putin.
	They're all doing it.
	The other thing is, gas prices, seven bucks, is not going to go over.
	That's the real kicker.
	Yeah, you're right.
	You can, people aren't really that, I mean, they'll, I mean, a couple guys will quit listening to our show because we ridiculed the bombing of the maternity hospital, but So just to give you an idea of how nuts this is, Germany is now debating how much they should suffer for Ukraine.
	So they're talking about cutting off Russian gas and debating what the impact would be, and they're talking to the public about it.
	Well, you know, it's kind of like Joe was doing.
	But Germany is a little more dependent upon Russia.
	That's how crazy this is.
	This is masks time, John.
	This is mask formation.
	Yeah, it is.
	This is not reasonable.
	No, it's not.
	In fact, let's cut to, before I go to the Trump stuff, this was a couple days ago, and this is the Colbert virtue signaling about gas prices.
	This clip, it's not about the clip, it's about the audience response.
	Today, the average gas price in America hit an all-time record high of over $4 per gallon.
	Okay, that stings, but a clean conscience is worth a buck or two.
	I'm willing to pay.
	Yeah.
	Just take the jab.
	Take the booster.
	Take the second booster.
	Wear a mask.
	Social distance.
	It's a small price to pay.
	We're in the mass formation.
	And I'm just, what will they need to come up with a new one?
	If this thing is so far almost over that they are now using it for political gain, a new shock must come.
	I mean, that's what you and I would determine.
	We'll spot it immediately.
	I'm sure it's going to be a shock, so everyone will spot it.
	So here we go with another example of this all being about politics and Trump, of course, is the main target because, God, that guy.
	I mean, he's got to go.
	So let's start with this.
	This is the NPR. More subtle.
	I don't know how much more subtler it is, but it's kind of subtle at the beginning and then it goes as a four-parter.
	This interesting take on normalizing Russia, period.
	Normalizing the country.
	It's estimated that close to 3 million people in the U.S. identify as Russian-American, about 900,000 of whom speak Russian at home.
	Many left the country to escape the iron-fisted authoritarianism that Putin has steadily re-established.
	Liana Zazulin was born in the U.S. to Russian-speaking parents.
	She grew up surrounded by fellow émigrés, and that made her acutely aware of the complicated relationship many of those who left maintained with their home country.
	The older generation of my grandparents nursed what we thought were these idealistic, impossible hopes of returning to a Russia post-communism that would be free.
	But most of the time, the view of the Soviet Union was that it was a hostile country where religion was persecuted and that our family was lucky to escape.
	But there were definitely people who thought that someday communism would fall and a certain amount of freedom would return to Russia and that we could return.
	Zuzulin is an attorney and international legal specialist who has consulted for the World Bank and others.
	She lived and worked in Russia following the fall of the Soviet Union.
	I worked on a U.S. government funded legal reform project.
	It's important to understand that the United States helped support a great deal of reform in Russia, like rewriting the civil code, setting up a central bank, setting up a securities and exchange commission.
	Those were all American supported efforts to the Yeltsin government to help them reform and enter the modern world economy.
	And we all thought that Russia might be a quote unquote normal country, as did many of my Russian speaking colleagues in Russia, many of whom I'm still really good friends with.
	We thought that we were part of a process of normalizing.
	Oh, man, we suckered him in.
	you So this was, I believe, I think she was sincere about most of what she says, even though she seems like part of an NGO that they rousted.
	Yes, that's exactly what it sounds like.
	And she probably, and then, but you don't see that right away, but then you start to realize that she is a...
	Spook.
	Some sort of activist type person.
	Because she...
	And just so we recall...
	Putin kicked out all of the U.S. non-governmental organizations, was it seven, eight years ago maybe?
	It was a while back.
	Yeah, and that was during Clinton.
	It was even earlier than that maybe.
	Well, it's actually, you know, what's overlooked in all this is that Hillary Clinton's boys went into Russia to try to...
	Yeah, start a revolution.
	Start a revolution, a color revolution, and get Putin kicked out.
	And he didn't like that.
	And it was done through these NGOs, and so he kicked them all out.
	He was very...
	I'm unsympathetic, to say the least, of us trying to do that to him, specifically.
	And this woman may have been part of that.
	But whatever the case, let's listen to her go on.
	This is part two.
	Not as free as the United States, but, you know, the churches are open and the economy is going well.
	And for people like that, this has caused, I know, several people for whom it's a total upside-down paradigm shift.
	They've now realized that he's really, really evil.
	One thing that's been shocking to some people, frankly, is the emergence of pro-Putin defenders in the conservative media and even in the Republican Party.
	And the former president being chief among them, right?
	Oh, that's important because amongst the notes that I received, there was that implication that there's no understanding why we don't see how evil Putin is.
	To what I'm like, all of them are evil.
	No citizen wants this.
	Russians don't want it.
	Americans don't want it.
	Ukrainians don't want it.
	This is the cartel.
	They're playing games way above our heads.
	It's a bunch of gangsters.
	You have to virtue signal, otherwise you're no good.
	You have the Biden crime family, so you're siding with him.
	Yes, yes, precisely.
	This little mention of the Republicans in here, it's associative.
	The Republicans, if there's anyone who's pro-Putin, I don't know who's pro-Putin, but anybody who is, they're Republicans.
	Your pronunciation of Putin is really grating.
	Yeah, isn't it?
	Yeah, don't say Putin.
	You know, this is when I'm listening to Mark Levin.
	It does the same thing to me.
	It's like, why does he keep saying Putin?
	And then when I came up with the Rasputin thing, I said, oh, that's what it is.
	Okay.
	So what is the...
	Because Rasputin is a very interesting character to study.
	Yes.
	Tell us the story of Rasputin.
	Rasputin was like a hypnotist or something.
	He's prominent.
	He was in the royal court under, was it...
	I don't know if it was...
	Lennon.
	Lennon.
	Oh, no.
	This was in the...
	Is it before Catherine the Great?
	No, I think it was after.
	This is in the prologue to King's Man, which is King's Man, which I just watched a week or two ago.
	And they show how Rasputin was also involved in some crazy-ass stuff.
	So what was his deal?
	He was the teacher.
	He was actually the guy.
	He was evil.
	Evil.
	And he was the guy, supposedly, I mean, I never met him.
	I don't like to make judgments, but it seems as if he was evil, and he was running the show behind the scenes, even though Putin himself is obviously not running the show behind the scenes.
	But just regarding the...
	Right, but so that's Mark Levin...
	Performing propaganda.
	By the way, why is he the great one?
	I always thought that was Jackie Gleason for people out there who is fans.
	But he's performing propaganda to make his listeners think like Putin is Rasputin.
	Yeah.
	Well, so let him do that.
	We just say Poo-in.
	Poo-in.
	I'm not going to do that either.
	That's even more annoying.
	Putin.
	So...
	So immediately we go, she switches gears, this woman who is obviously part of some group.
	Yeah.
	And she brings in, there's two memes, there's three, four memes actually.
	One is the, Putin is evil.
	And that's being said, just said, evil, evil, evil, which is something that's interesting.
	The Democrats are pushing this because they're the ones who always say that you can't other people and make them so they're less than human.
	Because it brings in violence.
	It causes violence.
	You can't do that.
	Calling people names is not good.
	You don't want to call people names.
	But now they're doing all the stuff that they say not to do.
	The other meme is that there are people who are pro-Putin.
	Pro-Putin.
	Pro-Putin supporters, I heard.
	Supporters?
	Where are these people?
	Are they protesting?
	Are they walking around with signs?
	I don't see it.
	I'm pro-Putin.
	And by the way, the third meme is that if you're pro-Putin, you're a Republican.
	Yeah.
	And probably a racist.
	Well, that goes without saying, because you're a Republican.
	Yeah.
	So this is a slam against the Republican Party and it's being done very subtly, not to me, but to these idiot listeners to NPR. Let's go with part three.
	And so I was wondering if you have been seeing that in your community.
	And are there people who think that what Putin is doing is acceptable or even right?
	And if so, why?
	There are a few people who are vocal about thinking that what Putin is doing is acceptable.
	There are several reasons for that.
	Partly, they are Trump supporters.
	Oh, man!
	All right.
	I think it's...
	Even though you have a double kicker, I think this one was good.
	That's right.
	Trump supporters are pro-Putin.
	Makes nothing but sense.
	Pro-Putin people.
	P3. So...
	I listened to that and went, holy mackerel, why don't you just NPR get a clue?
	Just, you know, again, it's about the midterms, it's about hating on Trump.
	Now, and Trump's, you know, the guy's not even in play.
	But now the double kick, which was a little thing, it was part of them talking about the religion aspect of this.
	So, because they weren't doing enough scorched earth on this interview with the slamming the Republicans, They decided to bring in a comparison with one of the reasons that the Russians...
	I'm going to explain something because this is cut down a bit.
	The Russians are religious.
	Orthodox Christian.
	They kind of warmed up to the evangelicals and the evangelicals warmed up to them.
	Oh, that's it.
	Because there's a common element.
	There's a meme.
	The meme is that Putin went in to save Christianity.
	Yeah, there's that.
	That's, I guess.
	But what's really behind it all?
	There's kind of a thing behind it all, and it has to do with Republicans and Trump, but it has to do with something more than that, and let's hear what that might be.
	To become close to the American conservative religious fundamentalist groups.
	Their appeal is we're against gays and we're pro-family, so we are more like you than these evil Democrats.
	And Russian Americans, along with other conservatives in the United States, have been very susceptible to that.
	Wow, you double whammy reach around me!
	You brought in the gays to the boot!
	Oh my goodness!
	Yeah.
	And we forgot about that.
	You know, Putin, gosh, this is at least 10 years ago.
	During the Sochi Olympics, if you recall.
	Yeah, he put in some rules, which is, in an interesting way, probably similar to the so-called Don't Say Gay bill in Florida.
	Yeah, I think so.
	Because it was just a, hey, we just don't want these particular things in there that are going to be shown to a younger audience.
	That's what I remember.
	I remember we had the, oh, who's our buddy from Chicago?
	The gay researcher?
	No, man, I forget his name.
	He had a great nickname.
	And he did this whole white paper.
	Do you remember that?
	It was the Gay Crusader.
	The Gay Crusader, yes!
	I wonder if he's still around.
	Let me see.
	Wow, you remember that.
	The Gay Crusader.
	Let me see if I can find it on bingit.io.
	A lot of crusader.
	Golly, I gotta look for that.
	This is getting, at least to me, noticeable.
	Which means they're not doing a good job of it.
	But it's about the midterms.
	And people can stop listening to our show and go listen to those guys and go vote for whoever they're going to vote for.
	Because that's what it's about.
	And this Ukraine situation, like you said earlier, we're bombing the crap out of Yemen.
	Killing people left and right.
	Children, mostly.
	And there's starvation going on there.
	There's no discussion of that whatsoever, except on Democracy Now!
	once in a while.
	Well, we've discussed it, but we don't have anything to work with because we deconstruct media, and there's nothing.
	No, they don't give us anything.
	There's rumble.
	Rumble.
	Or Bitchute, my favorite.
	I think The Amazing Polly is on Bitchute.
	Before I get into some cancellation of Russia, there was a very interesting lady on Bill Maher's show on HBO, I guess Friday night.
	See, that's my voice has just given up.
	Hold on.
	That is from the Rona, man.
	You used to have a cough button would help.
	I've been using it the whole time.
	Oh, God.
	Yeah, it's like my foot is getting a cramp from hitting it.
	Yeah, you had a cough once before it lasted forever.
	Oh, yeah, you're right.
	But this is a vocal cord that is not in place, and it's because it's post-COVID is when this happened.
	Anyway, I sound fine.
	COVID, you know what?
	What?
	COVID toe?
	Oh, no.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Hey, that's been checked.
	All good.
	This woman is...
	This woman is...
	Let me see.
	She wrote a book.
	Her name is Bat...
	Hold on a second.
	Batya Ungar Sargon.
	And she wrote a book called...
	Oh, yes, yes, yes.
	I saw her.
	How Woke Media is Undermining Democracy.
	And...
	And the whole interview was fascinating, and she really took over because she just had such a great rap, and I've ordered the book.
	I want to read this.
	But here is the one part that was right at the beginning.
	You know, how did this happen?
	How did the media get woke?
	And it's good for us to remind ourselves, certainly in the United States, but I think it's similar everywhere, what happened to our media.
	And this one minute sums it up.
	What made it woke?
	The abandonment of the working class.
	Journalism used to be a working class trade.
	It was a very low-status job.
	Journalists lived in working class neighborhoods.
	They lived next door to factory workers and linemen.
	Jimmy Breslin.
	Exactly!
	Maybe a little bit more money than them.
	They saw themselves as outside of power, demanding justice on behalf of the little guy.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Is through the elites, through elite universities.
	And that has, as journalists ascended to the ranks of the elites, they abandoned the working class that they used to belong to.
	And I argue that today they're using a moral panic about race to distract from the ways in which they have benefited from income inequality in America.
	So it's a distraction from the real divide, which is economic and about class, rather than political even.
	So I would even say the tribalism, it's not about politics, that's a mirage.
	The divide in America is about class.
	And that's how we know that when the Republicans come in, they'll do the same warmongering crap as the Democrats, because I think that's true.
	It's all about class, and look at what happened with journalism.
	Now, I haven't ever been a journalist.
	You have been for quite a while.
	On and off.
	I don't think you ever stopped being a journalist.
	What are your thoughts on what she's saying?
	She's absolutely correct.
	A British journalist once put it, criticizing American journalists mainly, saying that the problem began when it went from a trade...
	To a profession.
	And that is not a minor thing to say.
	A profession is like lawyers, accountants, things where you're a professional.
	And it used to be a trade, like a carpenter.
	Carpentry and sheet metal work and different kinds of...
	Blacksmithing, welding.
	Welding, those are all trades.
	Master electrician.
	Yeah, they're all trades.
	Gun repair.
	You can go on.
	But when it changed from being a trade, and you learn mostly on the job, you get a job with AP. Can I ask you a question?
	There was no thing such as J school.
	When the J school started cropping up and taking over, especially Columbia, then it became a profession.
	And once it became a profession, that's when they lost touch with the working class.
	Now, who made that decision that it's now a profession instead of a trade?
	How does that work?
	That was made at the level of the ownership of the newspapers and the editorial.
	And the reason for that is simple, is that bringing people in from a school where you learn a profession, the thing about the difference between a profession and a trade, if you start really getting down to it, there's a creativity aspect to trades.
	Welding, there's a creativity of how you do it, what kind of system you use.
	Putting a building together is not just following a very rigid set of instructions.
	The idea was that with a profession, you would learn how to become a cog engineer.
	A very specific cog in a wheel that one lawyer can be replaced with another.
	If you're a corporate lawyer, we can hire you.
	But getting a good tradesman is not that easy.
	Tradesmen are actually harder to, the jobs are harder to fill.
	And with professions, the idea was that if you could get them, put them into a standardized school like Columbia or some of these journalism schools where you learn specifically how to do things a certain way, then you could be a cot, you're a cog now, and you could be put in any wheel.
	So how about this?
	It became a profession around the same time as Project Mockingbird was flooding our media in the United States with intelligence assets.
	70s?
	I think it was the 70s.
	But I don't know.
	I mean, I haven't read enough of those critical books about the topic.
	Now, I have a question about the difference between profession and trade, because I understand exactly what you said.
	But how can prostitution be the oldest profession?
	It should be a trade.
	How is it a trade?
	It's not that creative.
	There's only a few things you can do.
	It's very creative.
	What?
	What?
	I mean, come on.
	It's very creative.
	Oh, my.
	Oh, my.
	No?
	Oh, my.
	Oh, my.
	Well, let me give everyone an example of how journalism works when you take it from a trade to a profession.
	This is from W-I-N-K. Where's that?
	Really?
	Wink?
	Yes, Wink.
	That's a good one.
	Is that Florida or is that Chicago?
	Maybe Chicago.
	They're taking a kind of an innocuous story about daylight saving time.
	What is it?
	What is daylight saving time?
	Why is it?
	Where did it come from?
	And they manage to psychologically train you for the day.
	Daylight saving time gives us an extra hour of daylight during the summer while making the days shorter during the winter months.
	And not everyone agrees on whether it's good or bad.
	I don't know why we're doing it.
	I'd say do the same all year round if other states are doing it.
	I would prefer they pick one time and stay with it.
	We can't even agree on the name.
	Savings.
	That's what I hear.
	I think daylight saving time.
	The correct phrase is daylight saving time.
	No S. Who came up with the concept anyhow?
	Was it the farmers to give them more time to plant spring crops?
	Or was it entomologist George Hudson who pushed for it to give him more time to search for bugs?
	Or did the Germans first use it during World War I to try and conserve energy?
	The answer?
	Germany became the first country to enact daylight saving time, and now 70 countries use it.
	But critics today say it increases energy use by about 1%.
	Second question, how many states don't use it?
	Only Hawaii and Arizona.
	Does it really impact our health and well-being?
	Numerous studies show the extra hour of sleep we lose by springing ahead causes a 24% increased risk of heart attack as well as an increased risk of stroke and seasonal depression.
	Corey Lazar, Wink News.
	Just so you know, that's horrible.
	Germany, war, climate change, energy, heart attack.
	It's everything that's going on in the news right now.
	They poured it into a stupid report about this stupid daylight saving time.
	So California has passed some, I think it was a resolution or a bill that stopped it.
	They can't do it.
	We should stop or make the whole year of daylight savings.
	One of the two.
	But there's no change.
	It would be like Arizona.
	And it never went through because somebody didn't file the paperwork.
	You had to file paperwork with the federal government to do this.
	Yeah.
	I guess Arizona did.
	That's not the point.
	It's just the point of how they bring all this stuff in.
	I know.
	I just brought that up.
	Sorry.
	So if you want to get the American people's attention...
	Gas prices nationwide hit a new record high today, $4.33 a gallon.
	That's up almost 50 cents since just last week.
	And starting next Wednesday, Uber is adding a temporary surcharge of 45 cents or 55 cents per ride.
	Uber says the surcharge is meant to soften the blow of higher gas prices on drivers.
	So, $0.45 or $0.50 that's at the current price is, what is that, an extra 8 miles?
	Thanks, Uber!
	I think it is, yeah, maybe 10 miles.
	Um...
	In Texas, we're seeing $4.99.
	In Texas.
	That's ridiculous in Texas.
	$4.99.
	We're at $6.99 here, generally.
	So what do you do?
	Well, make it worse.
	President Biden unleashed more American economic firepower today with his pledge to end trade relations with Russia, joining the EU and G7 nations.
	Doing it in unison with other nations to make up half of the global economy will be another crushing blow to the Russian economy.
	It's already suffering very badly from our sanctions.
	The decision means no more imports of Russian goods like seafood, vodka, and diamonds, costing Vladimir Putin...
	Hold on.
	Hold on.
	The imports they mention from Russia.
	The decision means no more imports of Russian goods like seafood, vodka, and diamonds.
	Seafood, vodka, and diamonds.
	Hmm.
	Is there anything else we get from Russia that might be important?
	How about wheat, nickel?
	I don't think the London Metals Exchange has even opened.
	No, they shut down.
	They shut down because of this issue.
	I mean...
	Yeah, a bunch of metals, a bunch of, yes, wheat is Russia's...
	Fertilizer.
	I mean, there's lots of stuff going on.
	There's a lot of stuff.
	It means no more imports of Russian goods like seafood, vodka, and diamonds.
	The point is, don't worry about it, people.
	You don't drink vodka, you don't eat caviar, you don't own diamonds.
	No, they screwed it up.
	Because if I was doing it, as I was the editor and I was trying to do this stuff, I would say, it's not seafood, it's caviar.
	We're going to be cut out of caviar, vodka, and diamonds.
	I did that intuitively, but you're right.
	You said seafood.
	You're right.
	No, it should be caviar, vodka, and diamonds, and that makes it sound like, well, who needs those guys?
	And I'll be the first to admit, I'm not a big fan of the Russian seafood stuff, that pickled kind of vibe.
	I'm just saying.
	I like Russian caviar.
	I love Russian caviar.
	It's been a while.
	It's been very badly from our sanctions.
	The decision means no more imports of Russian goods like seafood, vodka, and diamonds, costing Vladimir Putin's regime more than a billion dollars annually.
	Putin is an aggressor.
	He is the aggressor.
	And Putin must pay the price.
	Today's moves also once again target Russian oligarchs.
	Now, they can't buy high-end American-made goods, like watches, luxury vehicles, clothing.
	Hold on a second.
	We make watches and luxury vehicles in America?
	Seriously?
	He said watches.
	He said, like, Rolex and...
	No, it's like the wood watch.
	The wood watch that we sell.
	Now, they can't buy high-end American-made goods like watches, luxury vehicles.
	Watches?
	What watch?
	I'm sure a troll can tell me.
	What watch are we...
	Timex.
	There you go.
	Timex, at least they're made out of China.
	Oakley watches?
	I don't think we make a single watch in America.
	Why would we?
	Buy high-end American-made goods, like watches.
	Apple Watch.
	No, it's also from China.
	Oh, Apple Watch.
	But that's also Chinese.
	Luxury vehicles.
	Luxury vehicles.
	Dude, all our luxury vehicles are foreigns.
	They're foreigns.
	Clothing.
	But this is a bogus report.
	Where'd you get this piece of shit?
	CBS Evening News, baby.
	They support Putin.
	They steal from the Russian people.
	And in a new round of sanctions against those oligarchs, the U.S. is cutting off Putin friend Victor Vixelberg from his $90 million jet and his $90 million yacht.
	Did they get this guy from Central Casting, Victor Vixelberg?
	What did Vickleberg do?
	Well, he's friends with Putin.
	He's a pro-Putin supporter.
	He's a pro-Putin Republican, so they took his stuff.
	I don't know if he's a Republican.
	Is he a Republican?
	Probably.
	Let's look him up.
	I'm the Russian people.
	Thank you.
	And in a new round of sanctions against those oligarchs, the U.S. is cutting off Putin friend Viktor Vekselberg from his $90 million jet and his $90 million yacht named Tango.
	Russia is just the 26th largest U.S. trading partner, but today's moves will further sap the Russian economy.
	The ruble's value has plummeted.
	The Russian stock market shuttered.
	And so far, more than 300 companies from across the world have curtailed operations in Russia, including more than 200 American firms.
	Let's see.
	Oh, he is the owner and president of the Renova Group.
	Oh, no.
	Who cares?
	Some Russian dude.
	He's got aluminum, though.
	Okay.
	You know, Putin has now retaliated, from what I understand.
	You won't get any news reports on it, but he is retaliating by temporarily suspending fertilizer exports.
	Which has prompted the USDA, the United States Department of Agriculture, to invest a whopping $250 million to support American-made fertilizer.
	Come on.
	Isn't that a drop in the bucket compared to what we really need?
	I mean, they can build up some kind of capacity.
	Well, just throwing money at something doesn't mean that you can produce it overnight.
	It's like, oh, we're going to deal with our own chip.
	What is it?
	How long do you think it takes?
	I'm going to have to look this.
	I'm going to call one of my boys that are working in one of the chip companies and ask, how long does it take to get a fab up and running and actually producing product?
	Several years.
	But this is not a fab.
	We're talking about fertilizer.
	No, I know.
	Same thing.
	I used to be an inspector at the fertilizer when I was in the air pollution district, the fertilizer factory.
	We make fertilizer in the Bay Area.
	Chevron has a plant.
	It's non-trivial.
	Here's $200 million.
	I can make fertilizer.
	You'll be getting a shipment tomorrow.
	Probably not.
	So we're talking about moving money around.
	Listen to this clip.
	This is...
	Because somebody was moaning and groaning about how, you know, there was still some...
	I don't know, Hurricane Charles or something that ravaged the...
	It's parts of Louisiana.
	Somebody might have the details.
	But they kept asking the government for money, and finally the government said, you're not going to get any money from us.
	So where's the money going?
	It's going to go to Ukraine.
	Play this clip.
	More aid to Ukraine.
	Are you kidding me?
	Oops.
	Sorry.
	President Biden is sending Ukraine another $200 million in aid.
	As NPR's Scott Detrow reports, the new round of funding comes as Ukraine begs allies for more aid.
	Biden has said again and again he does not want a direct conflict in Ukraine between the U.S. and Russia.
	But Russia is growing increasingly belligerent about the military assistance the U.S. and other NATO allies are sending to Ukraine.
	The increased tension led the Pentagon to scuttle a plan to get Polish fighter jets to Ukraine this week due to the risk of escalation.
	Still, Biden has now approved an additional $200 million in assistance, bringing the total of USAID so far to $1.2 billion.
	Right.
	And meanwhile, when we look at inflation, that same Democratic National Caucus speech, here's what our president says.
	I'm sick of this stuff.
	We have to talk about it because the American people think the reason for inflation is government spending more money.
	Simply not true.
	Okay.
	Simply not true.
	It's just not true.
	Just say it's not true and it's not true.
	Say it enough.
	Say it again, again, again.
	He's got to raise his hand.
	I'm sick of it.
	Up to here.
	Up to here, he says.
	Up to here.
	No joke.
	No joke, man.
	So what this will result in, and that's why we're going on vacation for a week real quick, is we're going to see...
	I mean, the food...
	I think that's really...
	So climate slash food crisis is what's going to be the next shock.
	They don't have the trigger yet, or they may know what it is, but it seems like Ukraine, as I think you kind of predicted, this could fizzle out pretty quick.
	I've also heard that Putin and Zelensky have agreement on certain things.
	Like, you know, you take east of the damper, you know, we'll make that neutral, and we'll do this, and it's like, you know, I'll sign that we won't enter NATO, or at least that was the case unreported by the mainstream.
	Have you heard anything?
	I haven't heard that, but I know they've had meetings, not face-to-face, and their long-term goal is the denazification, and if what...
	That's a Russian talking point.
	Dear pro-Putin man.
	No, I'm thinking that if there was a threat against Zelensky, they're going to hang him.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	You've got to get rid of those guys.
	Well, he's going to be in exile.
	Maybe there's an agreement even before this happened.
	He'll go in exile.
	He'll go to Poland in exile.
	He can do some stand-up shows.
	He can do a little tour.
	Maybe Amy Schumer will join him, do a little comedy tour.
	Sounds right.
	Yeah, and then they'll have something in exile.
	The question is, will Kiev be rubblized?
	I don't think so.
	So far, it doesn't seem like it.
	The problem with rubblizing Kiev and also Lviv, which they had some shots of Lviv, the place is pristine, and it has a number of, and Kiev does too, they have these tall monuments that haven't been touched.
	The problem with rubblizing Kiev is that Kiev is the birthplace of Russia.
	Yeah, and that's the trope.
	The trope is...
	He wants to have Kiev and he wants to restore the USSR to...
	You know, it's so sad because my Aunt Meg, they had a service for her on Saturday and they really didn't want a lot of people to come, certainly family, because, you know, I mean, people to visit in the church and everything at St.
	Stephen's Church.
	And yeah, I've never seen this, but they had a live stream funeral.
	I guess this is something I luckily haven't had to attend any of these.
	It was pretty good.
	Multi-camera.
	So a couple of things.
	The first one was the people who came.
	There were delegations from Korea.
	I knew that she was in the CIA about 10 years ago, she told me.
	But she really kept it quite secret.
	And she outranked Don, my uncle.
	And she was highly decorated.
	Golly, I wish I could talk to her about this shit.
	She probably would have a Putin wants USSR too, but man, I would have loved to have gotten some insight from her.
	Sucks.
	She outranked Don as funny.
	Yeah, she was highly decorated at the Russian desk.
	And she was there in the 50s.
	So, man, she got stories.
	She was very fond of our show.
	She was.
	I remember very well.
	I did a Hot Pockets tour, and I did a show from their driveway, and I went in later, and Meg was there.
	And I think maybe that's when she told me that she'd been in CIA. But she said, okay, I want to talk to you about your show, because she listened to the whole thing.
	And she had a pad of paper and she had notes.
	Please, do not take notes from our show.
	And she said, first of all, you guys are real patriots.
	And that touched my heart when she said that.
	And then she said, you're right.
	Now, what's that guy?
	Zakaria?
	Fareed Zakaria?
	She says, you're right.
	He's an anti-constitutionalist.
	He's no good.
	That's who we were talking about on the show.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, he's a bad guy.
	So, if you wanted to really kick things off, if we...
	You know what?
	Let me play this.
	This is the state...
	Of people.
	Here it is.
	This is a very disturbing report, but I think it explains exactly where we are in the United States and globally, where people are mentally.
	Scroll through social media and you are likely to come across the war unfolding in Ukraine.
	It's been painful to watch.
	I would even call it hell on earth.
	Step outside and mask signs mark a stark reminder of a waning pandemic that's claimed nearly a million lives in the U.S. in two years and taken a devastating toll on mental health.
	Notice now we've gone from 960 died with COVID because it's not all of COVID to nearly a million died.
	Just died, just from COVID. I just kind of felt like I was drowning.
	19-year-old Leandra Padilla of Colorado says the pandemic increased stress and anxiety.
	For a long period of time, I was really depressed.
	And the war overseas is piling onto the mental health crisis.
	We are concerned that mental health is worsening right now.
	Lynn Bufka, Associate Chief of Practice Transformation with the American Psychological Association, APA, described the latest report by her organization as the most alarming stress report in its 15-year history.
	The responses to the stressors connected to the invasion are the highest that we've seen for stressors.
	The top sources of stress?
	A jump in prices due to inflation, supply chain issues, and global uncertainty.
	The survey also found a spike in fear and anxiety following the Russian invasion.
	This on top of a prolonged pandemic.
	63% of adults reported that COVID-19 changed their lives forever.
	Americans also noted widespread grief, a sense of loss, and continued hardship.
	I'm at a point where I can't pay my bills again.
	Back working, but it seems like it can't catch up.
	Experts say some people are enduring hardships but not coping, citing unhealthy behaviors like eating disorders, an increase in drinking and drug use.
	Joshua Gordon, the director of the National Institute of Mental Health, says there is a greater demand for help to cope with mental health issues like depression and anxiety.
	She also cites an increase in child emergency room visits.
	We had a crisis in mental health care services for children before the pandemic.
	There are simply not enough child trained psychologists, psychiatrists and other therapists.
	We need to train more of them.
	We need to expand access.
	A 2021 survey conducted by APA found that 41% of psychologists were unable to meet the demand for treatment.
	Leandra's been waiting for five months to see a therapist, explaining Medicaid options are limited.
	I can notice now, like, I bottle up a lot of my emotions way more now and, like, kind of let it explode, but then kind of push it back again.
	And it's just been, like, a heavy cycle, and I have been really sick of it.
	Like, I just want to talk to someone about everything that I'm feeling.
	To help tackle the nation's mental health crisis, the Department of Health and Human Services is allocating $35 million to expand community mental health services and suicide prevention.
	Thank you.
	So you won't hear many of these reports, but I think it's pretty accurate.
	I think people are completely beside themselves.
	Certainly millennials.
	And I think they're just...
	I mean, I hear it from so many people.
	Even just re-entering back into regular society is a challenge, let alone Russia and Putin and climate change and all this stuff.
	What could we possibly do?
	What could we possibly do just to tip it all over and grab control and bring in the Great Reset?
	We all know, but still pay insufficient attention to the frightening scenario of a comprehensive cyber attack, which would bring to a complete halt.
	To the power supply, transportation, hospital services, our society as a whole.
	The Kuwait-19 crisis would be seen in this respect as a small disturbance in comparison.
	To a major cyber attack.
	To use the COVID-19 crisis as a timely opportunity to reflect on the lessons the cybersecurity community can draw and improve our preparedness for a potential cyber pandemic.
	And I'm not even talking about banks or anything like that.
	Just take away their internet.
	Take away your Instagram.
	Take away your Facebook.
	People will freak out.
	Listening to that guy, you just wonder where the guy in the white suit and the butterfly net is and why he's not being chased around and captured and thrown in.
	The guy sounds like a lunatic.
	And people take him seriously?
	Well...
	Yeah, and he was on Charlie Rose when Charlie Rose was still a thing, which I would say you're taking...
	Wait, wait.
	Charlie Rose is never a thing.
	Charlie Rose, you did not get on Charlie Rose's show unless you were a mover and shaker in the world.
	Would you agree?
	No, John Markov got a Charlie Rose show.
	Okay, so much for slamming your ex-friends.
	But listen to this 17-second clip of Schwab on Charlie Rose.
	The difference of this forced industrial revolution is it doesn't change what you are doing.
	It changes you if you take genetic editing.
	Just as an example, it's you who are changed.
	And of course, this has a big impact on your identity.
	Yeah, it's Charlie Rose.
	Oh yeah, Gene Editing, Fourth Industrial Revolution.
	Yeah, sounds good, Klaus.
	He was taken seriously.
	Tell me about your sexuality, Klaus.
	Oh shoot, I should have done those two back to back.
	Not to be a name dropper, but...
	Sure, go for it.
	I was talking to Michael Dell.
	Mm-hmm.
	After his appearance on Charlie Rose.
	And he says that he thought Rose was drunk and ill-prepared.
	Oh, yeah.
	And a flasher.
	The guy was a flasher.
	Let's play these two back-to-back.
	Let's play these back-to-back.
	This will work better.
	The difference of this first industrial revolution is it doesn't change what you are doing.
	It changes you.
	Take genetic editing, just as an example.
	It's you who are changed, and of course this has a big impact on your identity.
	Tell me about this sexuality.
	It's in your DNA. See?
	He's always been on that.
	I am stunned.
	Stunned that you didn't have that ready.
	I mean, you didn't in the first playthrough.
	I know.
	I know.
	I'm slacking.
	I need a vacation.
	That's why you had to go through the whole process over again.
	That's right.
	All 17 seconds.
	I'm literally stunned.
	This is COVID. This is COVID. Long COVID. And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to the man who just put the C in long COVID, ladies and gentlemen, Mr.
	John C. Dvorak.
	Hey!
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	In the morning to all ships at sea, troops on the ground, feet in the air, south of the water, and all the days and nights out there.
	Wow!
	All right!
	He's on fire, ladies and gentlemen.
	That is John C. Dvorak, your co-host of the No Agenda Show.
	And we say in the morning to the trolls in the troll room who are going to count right now.
	All right, come on, come on, come on.
	Don't scurry away.
	Where's my count?
	Where's my count, trolls?
	That's not going to work.
	Where's my count?
	I don't have no count.
	There we go.
	Ooh!
	Ooh, ooh, ooh!
	2940.
	2940.
	That's getting up there.
	Hello?
	Yeah?
	Are you looking...
	Up there, the number.
	What is the number?
	What's the Sunday number?
	What is the number?
	What's on your post-it?
	I can never remember.
	What's on the post-it note?
	3046...
	Hmm.
	Okay.
	Well, there it is.
	Yes, the trolls are already reminding me.
	It's good, but not a record, they say.
	Well, good work, trolls.
	Good to have you here.
	You too can be a troll.
	There's no entrance exam.
	You may have to, like, press a couple buttons.
	You can be a troll.
	You can be a troll.
	Go to trollroom.io.
	It's a chat room, but it's filled with trolls, hence the moniker.
	And along with that, on the page, you will find a stream, so you can listen live, and it's noagendastream.com.
	The show is live on Thursdays and Sundays, and there's many other shows that are live before, after, during the week.
	And if not, then it's 24 hours a day, so there's always something going on.
	And there's lots of cool people and friends that you can hang out with.
	Or follow Adam at noagendasocial.com and John C. Dvorak at noagendasocial.com.
	This is the open source Fediverse.
	From what I understand, indeed, the Trump Truth Social outfit is running Mastodon.
	I don't think they're federating or federating yet.
	I don't know if they will.
	But they're certainly in the realm of open source and open networks, which makes me very happy.
	We'll see if it becomes a political echo chamber or not.
	I don't know.
	Like Getter.
	Are you on Getter?
	Getter?
	I think I have an account.
	I think I got an account immediately.
	I don't think I've ever used it.
	Me neither.
	And I wouldn't remember my password.
	I don't think I've used it.
	Yeah.
	I think I... What I was impressed with Getter is it imports your Twitter profile and makes it look just like your Twitter profile.
	I think they even bring in some tweets or something.
	And that was pretty impressive.
	But anyway, that's all...
	It's all...
	It's all pro...
	It's...
	Hey, once it's on an app, it's cancelable.
	If people have to get to it through an app, it's just not going to work.
	If they get to it through a web app, which is my preference, that's better.
	Anyway, so you can follow us from any Mastodon account.
	You can set up your own server.
	We encourage that.
	Many people in Gitmo Nation have done that, and they have accounts for you.
	We've capped it at 10,000, which is the way it should be.
	We need small little pockets, but you can still follow along with the conversation with ease without taxing out servers on one particular party.
	I think there's even more to it than that.
	Well, do tell.
	When the numbers get too high, it becomes a mess.
	The streams become a mess.
	You can't follow anything.
	It's just too much stuff.
	If you click on Federated on the Mastodon thing and see what's all going on everywhere...
	That's like a hose of diarrhea.
	Which is a...
	Yeah.
	Look at it.
	I mean, I have it up on my screen.
	No, it's terrible.
	It just...
	It refreshes every...
	You can't even read a post by the time you start Word 3.
	It's down and gone.
	If you scroll down, then it does stop the auto-updates.
	Yes, I know how it works.
	Okay.
	Um...
	But there is interesting stuff there.
	I have it on just as a thing that flashes, and whenever I see something, oh, okay, oh.
	There's a lot of Asian porn, though.
	Holy crap.
	Why do they do that?
	And it's all Asian, too.
	It's all Asian porn.
	Put something good on there, people.
	Not saying Asian porn isn't good, but...
	And anime porn.
	What is anime?
	I mean, is that really...
	Anime.
	Anime.
	If you want to be animated by...
	Anime porn, yeah.
	Anime porn.
	Can you find anything lower?
	If you want to look at some good porn, go to noagendaartgenerator.com.
	And that's where the best stuff is uploaded.
	Corrector Record brought us the album art for episode 1432.
	We titled that one Dry Holes.
	And he nailed it.
	This image might have gone viral if it wasn't attached to the show.
	Maybe.
	Maybe.
	Because it says no agenda.
	A lot of people thought it was one of the best artworks ever.
	With the map of Eurasia, I'll just call it that, with Russia, as you can see how large it is, with a big 404 not found because they got cancelled.
	A simple, to the point, meaningful, deep dynamite.
	Really, really enjoyed it.
	Now, we were looking at one alternative which we knew we would never use, and that was the picture of Jen Psaki and Elizabeth Warren.
	Yeah, I think you...
	Okay.
	I'm not even allowed to say it.
	I'm not even allowed to say it.
	But it was kind of funny.
	I kind of like Darren's Dry Holes, just as the simplicity of it.
	But we wanted to use that for the title.
	Let me see what else was there.
	Zelensky on the view.
	This one I thought I kind of liked.
	I think I pushed until we came up with the 405.
	I like the gas gauge.
	The gas gauge was kind of cool between Putin and science.
	Yeah, that was kind of okay.
	Oh, no, you wanted the hand.
	You like the pan protein by Parker Pauly.
	Oh, right, the hand.
	I like the hand.
	Yeah.
	Talk to the hand.
	Talk to the hand.
	Yeah, I like the hand a lot.
	And I was pushing for it until the 404 was just, once you settle in and look at it and think about it, you go, oh, no.
	It's just so good.
	And there was some gas station pump stuff.
	Less intricate is better, I'll say.
	Well, it depends.
	We go both ways.
	If it's something simple and it really hits the ball out of the park, that's what you really want.
	I mean, that is the best.
	You're right.
	But there's some complex ones once in a while that have got a lot of gags in there and they're pretty funny.
	What was the one with Patrick Swayze?
	Oh, it was the Global Shapers.
	Yeah.
	See, that out of context of the show is very difficult.
	And if it doesn't have some sub-context that you can laugh about, it's hard.
	It's hard.
	It's really hard.
	I'm amazed what these artists do.
	I really am.
	I'm amazed and often humbled by how good it is.
	So we congratulate and thank Correct the Record for his outstanding interpretation of the cancellation of Russia.
	You can check out all of the artwork.
	Just one more.
	Nick DeRatz having peppermint patty behind the thing, like she's giving a press conference.
	That was good.
	It was good, but we've used peppermint patty before, I believe.
	We used Chucky.
	Did we use Chucky?
	I think we used peppermint patty once.
	Peppermint patty.
	You can see all of the submissions and you can submit yourself at noagendaartgenerator.com.
	It's pretty easy.
	It's fun.
	And you definitely want to follow a couple of these winning artists.
	You know what?
	Artists, is there a way for them to put your No Agenda Social handle in there, in your artwork?
	Can you do that?
	Not that I know of.
	You should be able to do that somehow.
	When you click on the art, it usually says, like, here's Tantaniel's Crafting Fine Elemarts Sense of Your Day When You Started.
	Yeah.
	And recently is residing where you live.
	She lives in the Netherlands.
	And maybe you could put it, I don't know.
	No.
	Well, maybe Sir Paul can, yeah, I mean, it would be fun to add that.
	So that people can then follow them.
	Yeah, and they can harass them.
	Now, if you like your best podcast in the universe, notice a couple of reasons why we're still here.
	One, we don't take advertising money.
	There's no way to cancel us or to deplatform us because we have our own infrastructure run by the producers.
	But just in case, it might be an idea now to try a modern podcast app so you don't wake up one morning and it's not available in whatever you're using.
	And there's a whole range to choose from, and the features are way beyond anything you're using now.
	Go to newpodcastapps.com and subscribe to us there.
	Give it a shot.
	I am really losing my voice, John.
	Yeah, I'm listening to you coughing and hacking and trying to...
	And I'm hitting my...
	You have to clear your voice on every sentence.
	Yeah, I don't know what's going on.
	Yeah, it's like...
	Yeah, I know.
	It's horrible.
	I know you're aware of it because you're normally...
	Yeah, I don't know.
	What should I do?
	Do you have a lozenge?
	Yes, I need an elixir.
	You need a lozenge.
	I have a lozenge here.
	Okay.
	Let's just start sucking on the lozenge and talk like this with the lozenge.
	While I suck on it, would you please introduce our first executive producer for episode 1433.
	Special number.
	Yeah, I will.
	It's Tony Cabrera, as a matter of fact.
	No agenda shop.
	Yep.
	And he came in, and he's a top guy today with 68549.
	We lost a lot of people because they think that we're carrying water.
	And sometimes I am carrying water, but I go to the bathroom.
	I get it over with.
	Greetings from No Agenda Shop.
	Here's your reward for keeping amygdalas healthy and rational during these crazy times.
	NJNK, because the show...
	I've got to open this thing.
	Because the show must go on.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Tony, thank you.
	NoAgendaShop.com.
	Go check it out.
	Sorry, I'm sucking in a lozenge.
	That's good for you.
	Really, what's cool about No Agenda Shop is they take artwork that is from No Agenda Art Generator, their very own producers, have also created...
	They have agreements, and so a third goes to the artist, a third goes to No Agenda Shop, and a third goes to the show.
	And we have no contract.
	It's just like it's completely on the value-for-value system.
	It's beautiful.
	And so is their stuff, noagendashop.com.
	Then we have Tillian Pearson from Los Angeles, California.
	$500.
	Dude, Adam.
	I'm a professional singer.
	Oh, look up Tillian Pearson.
	Do a search.
	I'm a professional singer and have the same long COVID symptoms you are describing.
	Lump in the throat.
	Vocals at 65%.
	Power.
	Horse.
	Not horsepower, but horse.
	H-O-A-R-S-E. I got COVID in October 2021.
	It does get better in the morning.
	Okay, well, thank you.
	Now I don't feel so alone with nothing but my partner to mock me.
	I'm not mocking you.
	I feel bad about this.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, it came after COVID, so it is something related to whatever happened.
	It's the show.
	You're helping the show.
	Tillian Pearson was born in 87, known monominously.
	In other words, he's known as Tillian.
	He's not known as Tillian Pearson.
	He's got a one name.
	Oh, monominously.
	Oh, I didn't know that's what it meant.
	So he's in Vegas.
	It just says Tillian.
	He's an American singer, songwriter, musician, and record producer born in Clearwater, Florida.
	So he's obviously a Scientologist.
	Yeah.
	He's the clean vocalist for the post-hardcore band Dance Gavin Dance.
	So he's a guy, without even hearing him, he needs 100%.
	He needs vocal power.
	He needs 100%.
	That's right.
	Yeah, he's got a couple pictures.
	I got you.
	I can limp by, you know.
	Screaming into a microphone like it hurts to see it.
	Yeah.
	I'll go listen to his stuff later.
	Thank you, Tilly.
	Appreciate it.
	We got a lot of musicians.
	Next we have Betty Solero.
	$433.
	Also known as Dame Bullysteed.
	She wants job karma that allows my DNA to remain intact.
	She's Celtic.
	Link to Rebirth, Illumination, Intuition, Promise, and Balance.
	For the Roundtable, Dungeness Crab, she's going to be named Dame Bullies.
	Oh, okay, so we don't have any of that.
	No.
	Hold on a second.
	So this is because of the notes that didn't show up the last time?
	That's a long story.
	I'm just explaining it to the rest of the people.
	I don't have this information, so give me her name again.
	It's Betty Solero, and she will be Dame Bullysteed.
	And she does have the numbers.
	And the roundtable?
	Dungeness Crab, which is in season.
	Thank you.
	Accompanied by a sparkling Blanc de Blanc.
	Let's make it something decent.
	I think, who makes a Blanc de Blanc that would be good?
	Oh, I had one.
	No, Deutz.
	Deutz.
	Deutz.
	Deutz Blanc de Blanc.
	That's a beauty.
	And that's from the Rheinwater?
	Deutz is a champagne.
	Yes.
	Major house.
	Blanc de Blanc.
	It means it's 100% Chardonnay.
	JCD's recommendation, she asked Alsace.
	No.
	Deutz.
	Deutz.
	We ordered Deutz.
	You're not getting that other toilet water.
	No Alsacean stuff is too cheap.
	No toilet water here.
	No.
	Trolls, thanks for the infotainment.
	That's it?
	Yeah.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs.
	You've got Toma.
	We move on to Thomas Hitholler, who's in Greisweicherdorf.
	Gross, gross, gross.
	Grossweicherdorf.
	Grossweicherdorf.
	Yeah, that sounds right.
	Yeah, Grossweicherdorf.
	And that's in Austria.
	Beautiful Country, 333.33.
	I do not have a note from Thomas, and I will look later if I can find one.
	I also don't have a note.
	And then David Miller came along from Bayonne, New Jersey, 333.33, and he emailed a note to me, and I don't have it, but I will spend some time looking when I get you back on track.
	James Saltz in Pacifica, California, 333.33.
	And he...
	ITM serves as my first donation.
	I'd like to thank my cousin M Squared.
	Still a douchebag for hitting me in the mouth.
	Do we need to douchebag him?
	I think so.
	Douchebag!
	Sounds like it.
	And my grandmother...
	Mouth hitter Sir Alberto Barbosa of the fluoride-free waters who hit him, I humbly request, a noodle gun jingle.
	Yeah, so not grandmother, but grandfather.
	Yes, we got it.
	Oh, great.
	I'm going to shoot you in the face with my noodle gun, you racist pizza shit.
	I got my pasta glock locked and loaded.
	Pew, pew.
	Alright, do I do this one?
	Well, let me do this one first.
	Okay.
	And this is...
	Okay.
	Susan Stevens, 333.33, Dame of the Parkways.
	I got a lot of dames today writing in.
	They haven't quit the show.
	A Happy Son and a Throng of Threes.
	A Throng of Threes.
	How about a Thong of Threes is even better.
	I don't know about that.
	I don't know if I want threes in my thong.
	Don't wear one.
	Please add my human resource to the birthday list.
	I think we've already done this one.
	This is the last show.
	Okay, we did that.
	John and Jessica.
	Yeah, we did those.
	Last show we did them.
	Yeah, stay dangerously, or no, stay dangerous, Susan.
	Okay, you can do the next one.
	Dame Geek Squared, Rapid City, South Dakota, 333.13 in the morning, John and Adam.
	In the morning to the rest of the No Agenda family.
	I would like to wish Sir A00110001 Sauce the happiest of birthdays.
	Today, 313 is his.
	Please credit this donation to him.
	Ah, switcheroo.
	Okay.
	And then she says, Sean, je t'aime beaucoup.
	Oh.
	Oh, that's so sweet.
	Je t'aime beaucoup.
	Benjamin Berman, Los Angeles.
	Before we go to Benjamin, we have another 333.33.
	Mm-hmm.
	And this is Chris Willis in Hendersonville, Tennessee.
	He needs the jingles.
	Anything by Jeff Smith.
	Just throw a dart.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I shall.
	Yeah.
	Dealer's Choice, which is...
	We'll just make that anything by Jeff Smith.
	Yeah.
	Goat Karma.
	Okay.
	So I have two...
	Dip Crackpot.
	Buzzkill.
	It's hard to believe, but I've been with the show since the Bush administration.
	Ooh!
	I had the pleasure of meeting Adam and redacted at the Big Bang Bar during the hot dog.
	I thought we read this one already.
	I'm pretty sure we read this.
	I think so.
	Well, I'll read it again, as well as the inimitable right.
	Honorable Sir Jeff Smith.
	Thank you for helping me have a sane perspective, at least part of the time during all these insane times.
	All producers should be grateful for the foresight and wisdom to keep things decentralized and sustainable.
	Lest we all be listening to Rachel Maddow all the time and NPR.
	Yes.
	Chris.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	I remember this because this was the first time I rolled out this jingle the It's okay, we'll do it again.
	Come on, man.
	The guy's a genius!
	He is a genius.
	Benjamin Berman, Los Angeles, California, 333.
	I see no note from Benjamin in my emails.
	You don't have one either.
	Jonathan Greenlee is in...
	Thank you very much, Benjamin.
	Send us a note.
	...is in Arvada, Colorado, 319.69.
	What could that mean?
	Anna-Marie, Sarah, and Jonathan Greenlee invite all to join the cryogenic festivities at Frozen Dead Guy Days in Nederland, Colorado.
	Ah, yes.
	The Cryogenic Festivities, Frozen Dead Guy Days.
	Are you familiar with this?
	I don't know what this is.
	We are hosting a Bloody Dead Woman Bar.
	I mean, again, I don't know what this is.
	What is going on?
	Okay.
	A.K.A. Bloody Mary's pre-lube on the morning of Saturday, March 19th, 9.30 to 11.30 a.m.
	before the coffin races get going.
	Sounds goth to me.
	Is this something I should know about?
	Because this sounds like a fun event.
	Well, it depends.
	See noagendameetups.com for details.
	Jingles.
	Obama predator drone.
	Lost satellite feed.
	What does that mean?
	What do you think that means?
	It doesn't ring a bell.
	I think it might.
	Maybe the number station?
	That sounds a little bit like it.
	No, there's no lost satellite feed on that.
	Yeah, but no one knows what a lost...
	I mean, you and I know what a lost satellite feed sounds like.
	And then I did that?
	Is that Obama?
	Do we have that?
	No, I think he's thinking of little stickers.
	Yeah, I don't think we actually have an ISO of it.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And then karma with some classic goats.
	Yes, we'll do that.
	I have two words for you.
	Predator drones.
	India.
	Tango.
	Mike.
	Standby.
	33, 33, 33.
	Globalizer out.
	You've got...
	Karma.
	Karma.
	Alan Dix, 23333 from Spring Hill, Florida.
	In honor of the 33rd episode with 33 in the episode number, I began my quest toward joining the prestigious roundtable.
	Please deduce me.
	Be happy to.
	Without hesitation.
	Without hesitation.
	You've been de-douched.
	You hesitated.
	He said without hesitation.
	You hesitated.
	There's no pause.
	It says, please de-douche me without hesitation.
	You went, please de-douche me without hesitation.
	So you set me up.
	It's always my fault.
	Yes.
	I have unending gratitude for my bestie, C.B. John, for not only visiting me in Florida, but for punching me in the mouth.
	I don't know if I want to get punched by a CB. That would hurt.
	There you go.
	Well, he was here.
	Anyway, you have no finer ambassador than Sir CB. Night of the Black Thumb...
	Black Thumbnails.
	Well, he needs to learn how to use a hammer.
	I would like to reserve the title Sir Dixpert.
	Okay, it's reserved.
	Protector of the cubicle dwellers.
	Should I survive the perils of today's clown world long enough to complete my mission?
	I would call out my smoking hot wife, Sandy.
	Smoking hot wife, Sandy, as a douchebag.
	Stop!
	She's already aware and completely unfazed due to her attention span matching that of a crow in a curio shop.
	That's a good one.
	That is very funny.
	Keep breaking it down.
	Barney style.
	If I could hear you might die, no, and resist we much, that would be amazing.
	Yeah.
	All the goat karma for SirCB and a little job karma down here in FEMA Region 4 so I can hire some developers here in Tampa.
	Alan Dix, CPO, Chief Petty Officer, U.S. Navy Retired.
	Retired Chief, air quotes, Intelligence Specialist, U.S. Navy.
	Hi-ya!
	You might die.
	No.
	But resist, we must.
	We must and we will much.
	About that, be committed.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	On the off chance that we did this one already, I'm trying to figure out whether we did or not, but I'm going to read it anyway and get to throw it out.
	This is $257 from Alexander of Middle Cascadia.
	Or that's what he's going to be.
	I don't know what his real name is now.
	It's not on this note.
	I think we did him, but go ahead.
	Okay, good.
	I'm pretty sure we did that.
	Alright, then we're done.
	And that concludes our list.
	Very short list of facts.
	Whoa, that's short.
	Yeah, only ten.
	Only ten executive and associate executive producers.
	They don't like the Ukraine coverage.
	I picked a bad day to turn down a Beck gig, that's for sure.
	He wants you on Sunday?
	No.
	You know exactly what I'm talking about.
	Oh, yeah, yeah, I'm sorry.
	Yeah.
	You know, Adam's told me that he, well, people can make up for it, make up for it.
	That's the people that were executive and associate executive producers for No Agenda Show 1433, the famous 33.
	Yes, the 33rd time it's appeared in the number 33, it's appeared in episode number.
	Am I correct on that?
	That's what they say.
	I love that.
	Well, the magic numbers brought us some magic.
	We have crazy people out there that are numerology nuts.
	They know a lot about a lot of numbers.
	Sometimes, the unfortunate thing is, many times they introduce us to a concept or a thing after the show.
	You know, you guys should have mentioned that that was the fourth binomial, you know, and you can't find another number like that.
	You also mentioned Pi Day 314, and no one did that.
	And we forgot it last year.
	I mentioned in the newsletter we forgot it last year, and you're right, not one person donated pie.
	Pie no longer necessary.
	Again, it's one of those things, people hate pie.
	Thanks to these executive and associate executive producers.
	These are real credits.
	You can use them.
	Look, you just saw another professional singer get an executive producer credit.
	Go to IMDB. Take a look at who's in there.
	You'll see some real Hollywood people.
	But that's not the point.
	It's because you have a circle now of producers that you belong to, execs and associate execs alike, Use these titles with pride.
	You deserve them.
	If you'd like one, here's how you can do it.
	Thank you again for your time, talents, and treasure for producing episode 1433.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Order!
	Order!
	Shut up, slave!
	Shut up, slave!
	I don't have a lot of financial great reset stuff, but there was a post that came out this morning.
	From AmericanBanker.com, which you have to pay for.
	Someone sent me a thing.
	And here's the headline.
	A big bank is in trouble and no one knows which one or why.
	And this apparently is because the FDIC, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, who...
	And by the way, didn't we just have a coup in the FDIC? Didn't we have someone get kicked out and some nut jobs came in?
	We reported on it.
	Something happened there.
	There was the Federal Reserve.
	No, no, no.
	The FDIC. No.
	Someone left or got kicked out.
	Hmm.
	I'm sure of it.
	No.
	I'll have to look that up.
	There were some shenanigans going on there.
	So what they do is they ensure that if a bank goes belly up, that your deposits, your money in there is safe.
	So what they do is they're kind of an insurance company for the banks, for your money in the banks, they say.
	The volume of assets held by banks on the FDIC's problem bank list jumped $120 billion.
	And so this, just like the reverse repo markets, whatever was going on in 2019, this tells us that something is going on.
	Now, what the American government does not do...
	Or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
	Is that even a federal agency or they just have that name in the Federal Reserve?
	That's a good question.
	I think it is a federal agency because it's used to ensure...
	Independent agency.
	Independent agency created by Congress.
	Okay.
	So does that mean they're...
	If they're independent, then no one...
	Independent means they're like the Federal Reserve.
	Jeez.
	We do have...
	You know, it's not that Congress doesn't have control over it.
	They can kill it, you know.
	Oh, they could, sure.
	But they don't publish the names of the banks.
	They just say, oh, there's some problem.
	They don't tell you which one.
	Well, of course not.
	I know, but...
	If they told us which one, there'd be a run on that bank and it would go under.
	They can kind of like...
	Well, that needs to happen, clearly.
	We've known that there's a weak sister in the bunch since before COVID started.
	I bet you it's...
	You think it's Citi?
	Really?
	You think it would be Citibank?
	It could be.
	That would be big.
	Yeah, that's the problem.
	I mean, the most likely suspect is Wells Fargo because they're always getting in trouble.
	But they always dance out of it.
	And Bank of America is a bank which I don't like.
	I wish it was them.
	No, we don't like them at all.
	Or it could be.
	It could be.
	But they're not insured.
	This has to be one of the insured banks.
	This is a bank where people put their savings.
	Yeah, this is not good.
	So it's not Goldman.
	No, no, no, no.
	Well, it could be...
	We don't know.
	Anyway...
	We can sit here and just name banks.
	Yeah, but it means nothing.
	It means nothing.
	It means nothing.
	And so, you know, we're kind of in limbo now.
	We'll see what happens with Ukraine.
	The only things they can do to really push the Great Reset is, in my opinion, either make energy completely unaffordable for a long enough time...
	Propane's going up to $3.20 tomorrow.
	You should have filled up.
	I did.
	I just filled up for $2.80.
	All right!
	That was only 10 days ago.
	I filled my car up for $5.09 and the next day it went to $5.69.
	Yeah, but you only use it to sit in it and have it idle in the driveway.
	This is true.
	Just so you can think.
	Let's do some COVID stuff, since that always seems...
	Well, before we do that, I want to get a couple of these Ukraine clips.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, good.
	I just want people to know COVID is coming.
	But before we do that, since you brought up banking, let's bring an update on the SWIFT situation, which just went into effect, a little report on NPR. Last night.
	That's right.
	European Union sanctions go into effect today, cutting off several key Russian banks from the international financial messaging system known as SWIFT. Wow!
	Let me just stop it right there.
	Finally, some accurate reporting.
	This was indeed European Union legislation that got them kicked off of SWIFT. Joe Biden and the United States government had nothing to do with it.
	But yet, they're taking credit like they did it.
	No, no.
	Just retain their victory lap.
	Also shows you who really runs the EU. Central banks, for sure.
	Fifi Lagarde in there.
	European Union sanctions go into effect today, cutting off several key Russian banks from the international financial messaging system, known as SWIFT. Terry Schultz reports the decision to exclude the banks was made in coordination with the U.S. and other international partners.
	As part of the largest sanctions package the EU has ever adopted, seven Russian banks were disconnected Saturday from the SWIFT network, the world's dominant financial messaging platform headquartered in Belgium.
	The move prevents them from conducting financial transactions internationally in the most efficient way.
	But Russia developed its own payment system several years ago in anticipation of a possible cutoff.
	The banks were already under sanctions by the EU for their ties to the regime of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
	SWIFT and other relevant companies were given 10 days from the March 2nd announcement of these measures to adapt in a way that would not harm European businesses.
	A decade ago, Swift expelled some Iranian banks in response to Tehran's nuclear activities.
	Yeah, how'd that work out?
	Did that work out great for us?
	Nothing's worked out great.
	And I see Iran is now blowing up our beautiful new Iraqi consulate.
	What kind of message is that?
	I mean, seriously, isn't that a message?
	Isn't that a message?
	Yeah, it's a message.
	It's a message that we think we can walk all over Biden.
	And they can!
	Yes, everybody can.
	That's what they're doing is pathetic.
	But that's okay.
	That's okay.
	No, it's not.
	It's fine.
	I feel good now.
	All right, thanks, John.
	I feel much better.
	It's okay.
	So, then I have this clip, and you know the reason why?
	This is about...
	Lviv, I guess, has an old town.
	The more I hear reports from this place and the pictures and stuff, I want to go there.
	Yeah, I want to go there, too.
	That's why Pooper went.
	I mean, yes, and so did Holtz in Lviv.
	Oh, my goodness.
	How about this?
	They grab hold of Anderson Cooper and throw him off a building.
	Hmm.
	Uh...
	Just a thought.
	This is the clip about the Lviv.
	I guess Lviv is filled with old churches that go back to the 500s.
	It's a very old city.
	It's older than anything.
	And it's intact.
	I mean, there's all kinds of stuff that's intact.
	But you'll see the reason I wanted to play this clip near the end.
	In Lviv.
	It's the biggest city in western Ukraine.
	Its old quarter is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
	Parts of it date back to the 5th century.
	There's a stunning church on almost every street.
	Architecture from the medieval and renaissance periods.
	Anishchenko takes me on a tour of what she's doing to save all of this.
	We pass through an Armenian church.
	Oh wow, smells like incense.
	Oh, wow.
	It smells like incense.
	Oh, wow.
	Now, this is, I guess, a Ukrainian woman who's a tour guide, and they're saying, Oh, wow.
	It smells like incense?
	Is that an oh-wow level of comment?
	I mean, the incense stench, you know?
	Maybe.
	Perhaps.
	Perhaps.
	Perhaps this clear millennial reporter only associates incense with woo-woo stuff.
	Woo-woo!
	Yeah, like that.
	You know, like spiritual stuff, but not Christianity, but voodoo.
	Voodoo.
	Voodoo stuff.
	Voodoo.
	And smoking weed.
	That sounds right.
	No, and smoking weed, so you can mask the smell.
	Oh, wow, man.
	Hey, baby.
	Man.
	Light some incense.
	Incense and peppermint.
	We're talking about weed.
	Let's skip to this clip.
	Oh, weed?
	You have my attention.
	You said weed.
	You said weed.
	Brittany Griner.
	Do you know about this?
	No.
	The basketball player, she's like a seven-foot...
	She's a really attractive woman, if you don't mind, a seven-footer with biceps that are bigger than either one of us combined.
	I had one of those.
	It's no good.
	She's a little Amazonian.
	But listen to this story.
	I mean, this is not getting a lot of play.
	This is Brittany Greiner won...
	WNBA superstar Brittany Griner remains in Russian custody more than three weeks after she was detained at a Moscow area airport.
	Russian customs officials say they found hashish oil in her luggage, an offense that carries a 10-year maximum prison sentence in Russia.
	Now some members of Congress are working with the Biden administration to secure Griner's release in the midst of this war.
	A daunting task at the worst possible time.
	With me now is Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, Democrat of Texas and member of the House Homeland Security Committee.
	Congresswoman, thank you for joining us tonight.
	I did hear about this.
	Now, is she still locked up on this charge over there?
	As far as I know, yeah, because this just shows from yesterday.
	I don't know what she's doing, what she's thinking, but I think maybe a briefing by somebody about how to travel correctly and not carry around drugs.
	Yeah, it might be a good idea.
	But, you know, people are stupid.
	It was vape THC oil in a vape cartridge, and people just, in a vape pen, they forget about it.
	It's stupid, but yeah.
	People forget their guns and show at the airport, like numb nuts.
	Here's the interesting part of this, and it goes on.
	Sheila Jackson Lee goes yak, yak, yak.
	She's talking about all kinds of stuff, what they're going to do, what they're going to not do.
	The end of this long exposition by her, which I unfortunately over-clipped because I thought it would lead to it, is quite interesting because this is a shoes-on-the-other-foot kind of commentary.
	Think white privilege.
	We expect that the State Department should be able to See and talk to Brittany in the next couple of days.
	Our last conversation was we're hoping it will be over the weekend.
	What many people don't know is that they really weren't denied the right to see her.
	There is a protocol that Russia used, however you want to believe it is worthy.
	it is that this person must wait a certain period of time to test for COVID before they would allow additional visitors to see her.
	And that would mean the council offices, because they were eager to get to see her immediately.
	In addition, there had to be a privacy form signed.
	So that has all been done, and they are pushing to be able to see her as we speak over this weekend, to lay eyes on her.
	And as I talked to them to determine her health and safety and whether she is in good spirits, to be able to emphasize that the United States government is standing behind her.
	And then as they engage with the Russians alongside the legal effort, which we must respect to indicate that we believe, the United States meaning, that she should be released.
	That what was discovered could have been confiscated and she could have been on her way.
	She's well known.
	And let's not let her celebrity status hurt her.
	Let it help her.
	Celebrity status.
	She's well known.
	Let her celebrity status help or not hurt her.
	What kind of privilege is she calling for here?
	Celebrity privilege.
	And what's the difference between that and the so-called white privilege which really wouldn't help anybody in this situation?
	Well, it is in fact one and the same.
	Because white privilege is not just about, in fact, it's not really about skin color at all if you look at the true history of where this came from, from Europe.
	There were Spanish people who had white privilege who were considered white.
	It's totally class privilege.
	You brought it up at the beginning of the show.
	This is a class issue.
	You bet.
	And here we go.
	And she's a celebrity, so she's well-known.
	Let's be honest.
	I mean, this goes back to Doc McGee, who was smuggling in 5,000 pounds of weed in his Learjet.
	He's well-known.
	He manages a lot of groups.
	So, you know what?
	We'll just have him do an anti-drug and alcohol concert in Moscow that the CIA can then go and root around and bring down the wall with rock and roll and David Hasselhoff.
	Now you're talking.
	Right?
	I just found this to be...
	That's a good clip.
	That's a good clip.
	I thought it was abhorrent.
	It was a good clip, but it's like, you're one of those people that...
	And you and Sharpton?
	But...
	All you do is complain about this kind of thing and now you're calling for it.
	But...
	But...
	How does that jive with this?
	This morning, actor Jesse Smollett is in an Illinois jail cell, sentenced to 150 days behind bars after being found guilty of lying to authorities.
	But in a bizarre outburst after receiving his sentence, Smollett continued to claim his innocence, suggesting he could be killed in jail.
	I am not suicidal.
	Okay?
	I am not suicidal.
	I am innocent, and I The 39-year-old was a rising star on the TV show Empire when in 2019 he claimed two men attacked him as he was walking back to his Chicago home.
	He said they yelled racial and homophobic slurs and put a noose around his neck.
	But authorities questioned his story when Smollett refused to fully cooperate.
	The prosecution arguing it was all a hoax and Smollett hired these two brothers.
	Extras on Empire to carry out the attack, all while Smollett denied the accusations.
	I would not be my mother's son if I was capable of one drop of what I've been accused of.
	After his sentencing Thursday, Smollett's family continuing to support him while lashing out at the judge.
	He shamed my brother.
	He spoke about his arrogance.
	He doesn't know the struggles my brother is encountering.
	He doesn't know anything that he's dealing with.
	He doesn't know anything that he's dealing with.
	He spent all that time shaming him.
	My brother does not deserve this.
	I watched my brother go from being a complete victim, which he still is.
	He was attacked.
	And as Smollett headed to jail, with fists raised, he continued to make his case.
	I am not suicidal.
	I am not suicidal.
	And I am innocent.
	I could have said that I was guilty a long time ago.
	Smollett was also sentenced to 30 months of felony probation and ordered to pay back more than $120,000 for police overtime while working his case.
	So this is very interesting.
	Here we have a celebrity not beating the rap, a very well-connected celebrity, who then immediately starts yelling, I'm not suicidal.
	That's something that I would say as a crackpot.
	Like, you know, conspiracy theorists.
	Yeah, I'm not suicidal.
	I listened to the judge read him the riot act.
	It was pretty brutal.
	But at the same time, the judge never told him what he should do, which is...
	Repent!
	Atone!
	Yes, that's all it takes.
	Even when you're a celebrity, you would have gotten off scot-free if you would have atoned and apologized.
	And he should apologize, which you'd never do, but he should especially apologize to Trump.
	He would rather go to jail than that, believe me.
	Yeah.
	But if he had done that and apologized to Trump, because it was Trump that he was targeting, it was like he, you know, these two guys beat him up.
	Yeah, and Trump voters, because that's what he was doing.
	Russians.
	In Chicago.
	In Chicago, with 30 degree temperature, in the middle of the night, a bunch of guys walking around with a noose and wearing Trump hats, as you recall.
	Who he knew, who were black, who he hired.
	Well, that's what it turned out, but that's not the way he described them.
	They were wearing masks and they had a noose and they were wearing Make America mega hats.
	Yeah, sure.
	In Chicago.
	But we're overlooking something here.
	Jesse is gay.
	I mean, this is the new meme.
	Jesse got killed in jail because he was gay.
	Thanks, Trump.
	I'm just working it.
	I'm just working it.
	I mean, it's basically the latest gay, trending gay.
	We have trending gay for some reason, which is, at this point, it's rude.
	You don't even single out one member of the community.
	That's a good point.
	Well, something's going to be up with that.
	What's this Last Resort?
	Do we already play that?
	Which one?
	Last Resort Gay Sympathy.
	Yeah, that's the one we played earlier.
	That was the one where I thought they were really reaching here.
	Now, that said, Jesse will do five months?
	I think it's...
	I can't remember.
	America loves a comeback.
	The guy's a creep and he never admitted it.
	America does like a comeback if you follow the rules, which is, like you said, it's atone.
	Atone, right.
	And he didn't do it.
	He won't atone.
	For a moment, calling back to the weed and our vice president, as you remain steadfast that she is high on edibles.
	Yes.
	That's why, to reiterate, that's why she wouldn't go to Texas right away because she knows they're tough on drugs down there and she can go to Belgium because she's got a diplomatic pouch and so she can take her edibles with her, but she can't go to Texas because there's no such thing as a diplomatic pouch going to Texas and she's afraid that she's going to get busted.
	Now, THC has different effects depending on how you consume it.
	I've been using it since I was 13.
	I'm stoned right now.
	You're always stoned.
	I don't think necessarily that this is edibles.
	I did get something that neither of us know about from one of our producers because we have the best producers in the universe.
	You want to know about drugs, you talk to our producers.
	We have a few.
	Producer Glenn, Mr.
	Curry.
	It's been a while since I emailed you last, so I hope all is well with you and yours.
	Straight to the point.
	I'm a former drug addict and expert on identifying people on drugs.
	And I believe you are mistaken.
	People...
	I was talking about Zelensky being on coke?
	Yeah.
	He says, no, no.
	These people, and he believes also Kamala Harris, are on opiates.
	Opiates.
	He believes that this is the drug of choice now.
	He says it's much easier to get Percocet, Adderall, which is, I guess you want both of them at the same time, from your doctor.
	You can carry them legally across borders.
	He says, I think all the people you're calling out are actually on opiates.
	There is this perception that you do heroin and listen to Motown, and while that's a good time, a lot of people think late 80s red hot chili peppers.
	Opiates make me feel warm.
	I could work out for hours without pain, last longer in bed, be more attentive, caring, be more awake and with less sleep.
	And it gave me crazy amounts of energy.
	It also makes you itchy as hell.
	That's interesting.
	To pinpoint, he says, eyes, voice, nose, very, very itchy.
	Zelensky sounds like he's an opiate user, not 100%, and he suggests that Kamala may also be on some version of opiates, and maybe in combo with something else.
	Well, let's examine this possibility.
	First of all, we know that the doctors, White House doctors, are always keeping these people alive.
	Drugged up.
	And jacked up because they have to have it.
	They can't fall asleep.
	Nope.
	Like Biden does.
	Well, they can't overdose him.
	They're doing all they can, man.
	Well, they do jack him up because sometimes he's sharp and sometimes he's like this.
	Yeah.
	Kamala, you know, she's not used to this grind.
	This is a grind job.
	It's like, unless you get something wrong with your metabolism, you can't really keep up, especially traveling overseas and all the rest.
	So it's possible that they would have her on this combination of Adderall, which will do that, and Percocet and Adderall together.
	I have no idea what that would do to you.
	I don't want to find out, honestly.
	No, it sounds addictive.
	It sounds very bad.
	But I'm going to stick with my...
	We may never know, but it's fun to explore all the different avenues of what our leaders could be taking.
	What enhancements do you think they're taking?
	They definitely enhance.
	It's like performance enhancement drugs are on PEDs.
	That's why I take it.
	It's completely very performance enhancing for the show.
	Let's catch up on COVID since people miss that in the news.
	It has come back a little bit to CBS. Let me give you the rundown from CBS. Two years later.
	In two years in the U.S., COVID took more than 963,000 lives.
	Ah, COVID did?
	Really?
	COVID took them?
	Okay, liar.
	And changed everyone.
	Now there's a seismic shift, as all states with Hawaii the latest rolling back restrictions, a sign of Omicron's rapid retreat.
	But in Hong Kong, a fifth COVID wave is reminiscent of the misery in Wuhan when the virus began.
	Isolation facilities are filling up faster than new ones can be built, and the country leads the world in new deaths.
	We're really, really worried.
	In the U.S., infections have plunged to the lowest in eight months, with 98% of Americans now living in a low or medium COVID risk area.
	And 81% of the country is vaccinated with at least one dose.
	We in the United States are going from a period of hiding from the virus to now living with the virus.
	We're doing this because we have immunity from vaccines and prior infection, and we have the Pfizer pill as a box stop.
	Will there be another variant?
	I literally look daily at the variants across the globe in a database, and I will tell you, the virus is changing as we speak.
	But it really is luck of the draw.
	What would you say tops the list of the lessons learned?
	We are one community.
	It matters not just what you do, but what your friend does, what your neighbor does, what other countries do.
	And part of that, Dr.
	Agus says, is making sure the rest of the world is vaccinated because those gaps, those places that are lagging in vaccination is where new variants could pop up.
	India literally is talking about the Deltacron and this jamoke.
	Oh, I'm watching it in the database.
	What does that even mean?
	Did someone put in, just mix some stuff together and then put it in the database and you look at it and go, oh, that would be bad.
	It is bullcrap.
	Models.
	You know how I went on and on about how Omicron and Delta, why did they have these other letters?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Why did they skip over all those letters?
	Yeah.
	Somebody, one of our producers came up with it.
	The M anagram for Omicron Delta is media control.
	That's truly the virus.
	I'll agree with that.
	Media control.
	Omicron Delta.
	Check it out.
	You'll find it.
	I have a report that the Asian, just pure Asian update, which kind of coincides with what you just played.
	The coronavirus is still going strong in parts of Asia.
	Hong Kong says it has.
	Wait a minute.
	What kind of reporting is that?
	Hey, it's still going strong.
	It's going strong, everybody.
	She sounded like she was happy about it.
	The coronavirus.
	So we've still got something to report on because I'm the Delta Omicron expert and I will have nothing else to do after this report.
	The coronavirus is still going strong in parts of Asia.
	Hong Kong says it has more than 27,600 new cases, and leader Carrie Lam is warning that that number could rise.
	Shanghai closed schools and parks.
	And authorities in Beijing suspended access to a residential area after new infections were found.
	The public was told not to leave the Chinese capital unless necessary after the government reported 588 new confirmed cases, but they reported no deaths.
	In Beijing, a residential area on the capital's northeastern outskirts was in lockdown after a case was found there.
	Ooh, a case!
	The case was found.
	Locked down.
	I didn't know people could leave Hong Kong.
	They can, apparently.
	Hmm.
	Sketch.
	Well, so we're scheduled to go to New York for now a double ceremony.
	My aunt and my dad.
	Brother and sister.
	And we're going to the New York area.
	And I was like, oh, it should be okay by then.
	Everything should be calmed down a bit.
	Seems like everything is dragging on a bit.
	Even the TSA. TSA controls the mask mandate, apparently.
	Yeah.
	Now, the mask mandate, it was set to expire next week.
	The TSA now extending that to April 18th.
	That's the day after Easter.
	Lots of travelers, of course.
	It's also the end of spring break for many schools.
	Now, the major airlines have been urging the White House to lift that mask mandate for travel.
	Many of the fights we've seen on planes, they've involved travelers refusing to wear a mask.
	Now, the TSA says it's going to work with the CDC to figure out next steps and perhaps even a revised policy.
	I didn't know TSA was in charge of that.
	Well, I guess in the airports they are.
	Yeah, they enforce it, but do they set the policy?
	They're not setting policy.
	I think it was clear that they wanted the policy changed by higher ups.
	Hmm.
	I don't know.
	The CDC has now changed its list of...
	By the way, just to back up on your going to New York, this hasn't been settled yet, but I think once the bets are placed at these good numbers that are available right now for the basketball game...
	Then they'll pull the mask mandates in New York City, so then the odds will change, and you won't get as favorable odds.
	So you have to push this out.
	Oh, hold on a second.
	Okay.
	What are the dates of this?
	If I understand what you're saying, because we need Kyrie Irving to play in New York, in order for him to play, we have to drop the mandates, but we want to do that to time it with the betting.
	Yes, you want to get your bets in for the Nets to do well.
	This is not betting advice, people.
	This is just an idea.
	No, of course not.
	Although it seems to be damn near legal now.
	I want to hear.
	I'm taking notes.
	The playoffs start, I think, in about...
	In about, I don't know, three or four weeks.
	And, well, they start after the March Madness, the NCAA tournament.
	So it's a ways off, maybe a month or two, April.
	Not a month or two.
	I don't have the date in front of me is what I'm trying to say.
	But whatever the case is, they will wait until they get into the, they're going to be in the playoff rounds or the play-in rounds.
	And then they drop it.
	No, they'll do it before anything starts.
	And that will be after the college basketball tournament.
	So the question is, when do you place your bet?
	You place your bet now.
	Now.
	Okay, place your bet now.
	And then the odds will increase or decrease.
	No, you get the odds.
	The odds are more in your favor now.
	Now.
	Yeah, it'll be harder to make as much money if you bet once they lift the mandates and they know Kyrie's going to play.
	But this mayor, who seems like a betting man, he is top.
	He does, doesn't he?
	He probably has an NFL fantasy football league.
	So he's got a team.
	So he had a number of things to say that were very suspicious.
	Like, well, you know, we can't really pull the plug on that right now.
	I mean, I know people would like to do this.
	So he's going to pull the plug on the masks and all the rest just before the playoffs start.
	So you'll have a period of time to make your place.
	Is there such a thing in sports betting where you can short something?
	You can bet that they're going to lose.
	You can be on either side of a bet.
	Okay.
	They always have a little vig in the middle, a little bit to set up.
	So they, you know, like they'll say, well, the team will give them, they're going to win by 15 and a half points.
	Right, right, right.
	They're not going to win by 15 and a half points.
	They're going to win by either 15 or 16 or more.
	And what's the half point?
	It's just to get these guys, you know, The guys who set the odds are not stupid.
	Right.
	So back to the CDC, who will determine, their guidance will determine what Mayor Adams does.
	The CDC tracks development of children, as they should, and they have a list of milestones that all children should reach by certain ages.
	So, you know, pooping on your own, talking, you know, how many words, you know, speech is the big one.
	So you will not be surprised to find out that most children in the world, or certainly the CDC for America, are not hitting these milestones because of mask mandates and so-called school from home bullcrap.
	So what has the CDC done?
	They changed their list of developmental milestones and just made the ages older.
	There you go.
	That's an easy fix.
	Those guys are total a-holes.
	You think?
	Another agency that should just atone and dissolve.
	Ooh, there it is.
	Atone and dissolve.
	Jesse Smollett should try that too.
	That's a good show title.
	Atone and dissolve.
	That's a new version of dry up and blow away.
	You'd think that the vaccines are kind of out of the news, but nothing could be further from the truth.
	Moderna is planning vaccines with their mRNA technology for 15 pathogens with future pandemic potential.
	They got potential.
	You want to know what these are?
	Let me see if I can grab these for you.
	They are going after...
	Um...
	Where is it now?
	Oh, that's annoying.
	I'll find that after I play this...
	Oh, jeez.
	I can't believe that...
	Oh, here we go.
	Ooh, unpronounceable shit.
	Chikungunya?
	Chikungunya?
	What is that?
	Is that some Chinese thing?
	Chikungunya?
	Yeah, it's a Chinese dish.
	It's made with noodles and chopped pork.
	Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever.
	That's the one that was being developed at the Ukraine lab.
	Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever.
	What is that all about?
	How come they pull in Crimea?
	No, they had a lab there too, but the Russians did it.
	No, seriously.
	Is this a different Crimea?
	No, it's the Crimea Crimea.
	Well, this is crazy.
	I didn't even realize that.
	Crimean...
	Okay.
	Is there a history of the Crimean hemorrhagic fever?
	I've never heard of it until you just said it right now.
	Well, that's enough.
	It's enough.
	It's enough to make you sick.
	So they're going to fix everything, and it's all going to be done with mRNA.
	And there was a recent interview between one of these pundits from the Washington Post, who's also often on MSNBC, and he was speaking to the CEO of Pfizer, Albert Bourla, And what he had to say about the mRNA technology that they chose for the COVID vaccinations was quite an eye-opener.
	I want to get a little into the weeds here and the mRNA technology.
	When you and your colleagues were trying to decide which route to go down, the traditional vaccine route or the mRNA route, You write that it was, quote, most counterintuitive to go the mRNA route, and yet you went that route.
	Explain why.
	It was counterintuitive because Pfizer was mastering, or let's say we had very good experience and expertise with multiple technologies that could give a vaccine.
	Adenovirus is what some of the other vaccines are.
	We were very good in doing that.
	Protein vaccines, we were very good in doing that, plus many other technologies.
	The mRNA was the technology that we had less experience, only two years working on this, and actually mRNA was a technology that never delivered a single product until that day.
	Not vaccine, not any other medicine.
	So it was very counterintuitive, and I was surprised when they suggested to me that this is the way to go, and I questioned it, and I asked them to...
	I was going to bring it up at the end.
	Yes, this is, they said.
	So it was very counterintuitive, and I was surprised when they suggested to me that this is the way to go, and I questioned it, and I asked them to justify, how can you say something like that?
	But they came and they were very, very convinced that this is the right way to go.
	They felt that the two years of work on mRNA since 2018, together with BioNTech, To develop a flu vaccine.
	Made them believe that the technology is mature and we are at the cusp of delivering a product.
	Did you hear that part?
	Listen again.
	Together with BioNTech to develop a flu vaccine.
	Make them believe that the technology is mature and we're on the cusp of delivering a product.
	Make them believe that the technology is mature and we're on the cusp of delivering a product.
	Now, a couple of things.
	You want the last 10 seconds just so we're done with him?
	Yeah, play the last...
	Well, wait, what?
	You're telling me that the last...
	Well, okay, let me listen to the last 10 seconds and I have something to say before you...
	Yes, yes, yes.
	Together with BioNTech.
	To develop a flu vaccine.
	Made them believe that the technology is mature and we are at the cusp of delivering a product.
	So they convinced me.
	I follow my instinct that they know what they are saying.
	They're very good.
	And we made this very difficult decision at that time.
	Go.
	Can it end there?
	Yeah.
	Wait, wait, let me guess.
	The reporter...
	Stop guessing.
	I said, who is this they you keep talking about?
	The reporter says, who is this they you keep referring to?
	And you refer that they came and they did this and they did that.
	And they want to convince.
	Specifically, who is the they you're discussing that you're talking about?
	Tell me who they are.
	That's what the reporter did, right?
	Wrong.
	Nope.
	And this sounds...
	I mean, how can you not ask that question?
	He only said it five times.
	They convinced me.
	Now, if you're a CEO of a big pharmaceutical company...
	You listen to your scientists.
	It doesn't really matter.
	It doesn't matter what company you're heading up as a CEO. You'll talk about my team, our people, our experts, the people that have brought you fantastic products for years.
	Whatever it is, you don't just say, well, they showed up and they said this is good and they convinced me.
	Are you a scientist?
	Are you an mRNA specialist?
	Why did they have to convince you of anything?
	Doesn't the science speak for itself?
	I'm sorry, I'm pretending to be a journalist.
	I'm such a dope.
	You are, you're just, you don't get it.
	Let's talk about some adverse events, shall we?
	Adverse events are great.
	Yes, adverse events are fun.
	And, you know, you need to be prepared for them.
	Let's just not call them adverse events.
	Let's not relate them to a vaccine.
	Let's just say, you know, shit can happen.
	And let's do lots of PR about this bad stuff that can happen to you, which has nothing to do with the vaccine.
	Heart attacks can happen to healthy, younger Australians who have none of the usual risk factors for disease.
	Did you know this?
	This is breaking...
	I'm finding it out.
	Breaking medical news!
	Heart attacks can happen to healthy younger Australians.
	Only to Australians, by the way.
	They can't help under healthy Americans or Brits.
	...who have none of the usual risk factors for disease.
	Now new research has uncovered mutations in the genes which can compromise the arteries in the heart.
	Really?
	Mutations in the genes?
	How did that happen?
	When Liza Stern had a heart attack at the age of 41, she was very lucky to pull through.
	Lots of CPR for apparently over 40 minutes, seven shocks of the defibrillator.
	The mother of two didn't experience chest pain.
	The warning signs were more obscure.
	I started to feel faint, thought I might faint, broke out in a sweat, a bit cold and clammy.
	Liza had a tear in one of her arteries, which led to a clot.
	The condition, called spontaneous coronary artery dissection, causes about a quarter of heart attacks in women under the age of 50.
	Wait a minute, what is that acronym?
	I love acronyms.
	Spontaneous coronary artery dissection.
	Liza had a tear in one of her arteries which led to a clot.
	The condition called spontaneous coronary artery dissection causes about a quarter of heart attacks in women under the age of 50.
	It's not as common in men, but they're not immune.
	We just had a case from a patient down in Melbourne who was less than 40 who just had a severe heart attack.
	Its causes are largely unknown, although a recent US study identified genetic mutations that weaken the collagen which make the heart's arteries strong and stable.
	This study is still early, it's a very small number of patients and I think it really needs to be replicated.
	The Victor Chang Institute is casting the net wider, taking samples from a register of 400 patients and using sophisticated techniques to pinpoint other mutations.
	We've got some very interesting families now where we think we've absolutely nailed the gene that's causing it.
	Experts say finding an underlying cause of the condition is crucial, as up to 30% of cases are likely to have another heart attack.
	I can't help but connect the myocarditis and clots with certain medications.
	I'm not a doctor.
	You think?
	I'm not a doctor.
	I'm not a doctor.
	SCAD, yeah.
	No, I thought it was S-A-D. It was called SAD. Spontaneous Cardioid Artery Dissection.
	But yet, it's a blood clot.
	I don't know.
	And it's gene-related.
	So it's hereditary then?
	Is all of Australia doing it with each other?
	It could be genetically localized as possible.
	Yeah.
	And then the piece de resistance.
	I've been following Edward Dowd.
	We played clips from him a couple weeks ago.
	He's the former financial guy who at a certain point rose up to doing a portfolio at BlackRock, particularly I think Pharma.
	And he has been predicting that with some accuracy that everything is going to collapse.
	It's starting with He believes Pfizer because the data will eventually get out.
	The data is out.
	Nothing's happened.
	No one knows about it.
	It's not collapsed.
	Over 1,200 people died.
	40,000 adverse events.
	In the tests.
	In the tests, yeah.
	In the trial, which was not reported.
	They tried to cover that up for 75 years.
	Under the fog of war, they released these documents and no one reported on it.
	Somebody leaked them.
	But let's stop because we need to talk about they, they, they, they, which is still annoying, by the way, because we still don't know who they are.
	Who was really behind covering it up?
	Pfizer.
	They have to give the documents to somebody.
	Pfizer themselves.
	No.
	Yes.
	It was the CDC. No.
	No.
	Pfizer refused to publish.
	It was Pfizer who was sued for not publishing them.
	Don't they have to turn something over to the CDC? Yes.
	That's the law.
	Okay.
	Let me review because I know.
	Okay.
	The law is, within two weeks after your product is in marketing, you have to provide all of your data.
	And Pfizer said, no, we need 75 years.
	They went to court.
	The judge said, no, you've got to speed up the release of documents.
	And they have been speeding up.
	I honestly thought these documents came out as a part of that.
	You're telling me they were leaked documents?
	That's my understanding.
	Well, this would be a huge...
	This is a story of Woodward and Bernstein level.
	The pharmaceutical companies lied and people died.
	They lied, people died.
	They paid the bill for the media.
	Yes.
	We never can lose sight of that.
	So, Edward Dowd and his team...
	Dove into the CDC numbers that were available and came up with a very astounding result regarding excess mortality, i.e.
	more people who died one year over the previous year, in this case 2020 over 2021, specifically millennials.
	He took the data and it took some time and effort.
	He did a lot of work.
	He broke it down by age and he created baselines for each age group to come up with excess mortality.
	And the money chart is really chart four, which shows that the millennial age group 25 to 44 experienced an 84% increase in excess mortality into the fall.
	It's the worst ever excess mortality, I think, in history.
	Just to give you an idea, when you look at chart four, you see when mandates and boosters hit the acceleration into the fall, and then it re-accelerated into the end of the year.
	The drop off in that data you see there is reporting issues.
	It takes time for millennial age deaths to be reported because they're usually not hospital deaths.
	So, that data is going to be updated and probably shows a continued disturbing trend.
	So, just to put some numbers on this, starting in the summer into the fall with the mandates and the boosters, there were 61,000 excess millennial deaths.
	Basically, millennials experienced a Vietnam War in the second half of 2021.
	Okay?
	58,000 people died in the Vietnam War, US troops.
	So this generation just experienced a Vietnam War.
	And I think this is the smoking gun that the vaccines are causing excess mortality in all age groups.
	And it's no coincidence that Michelle Walensky refuses to answer Senator Ron Johnson's letters.
	They're hiding.
	Fauci's gone.
	She's gone.
	They're hiding.
	So I'm going to put a word out there.
	It's a word that's old, but it needs to be reintroduced in the conversation.
	This is what we call democide, death by government.
	So the government, through the mandates, has killed people.
	I love democide.
	I didn't know this term.
	I never heard the term.
	It's a real term.
	And it starts with demo?
	Like democrat?
	Democracy.
	Democide.
	Here it is.
	Democide.
	It has its own wiki page.
	A concept proposed by American political scientist Rudolf Rummel to describe the intentional killing of an unnamed or disarmed person by government agents acting in their authoritative capacity and pursuant to government policy or high command.
	Well, if true, it fits the description.
	Yeah, I guess it does.
	Any thoughts?
	Any thoughts on this?
	I had no thoughts.
	I mean, I think we've been discussing this for two years, and I think we pretty much, we didn't use the term democide.
	We don't have these particular numbers about the millennials.
	That's pretty damning.
	I think it's pretty much what we said was going on.
	But 61,000?
	In that age group?
	Yeah, I like the Vietnam War comparison, because that was 50.
	Someone wrote that for him.
	That's a very good one.
	That'll never catch on, though, because...
	No, none of it will.
	None of it will catch on, because it can't catch on.
	I had the perfect out.
	I had the perfect out.
	You had the perfect...
	Oh, did I step on an out?
	Yeah, you had the perfect out.
	Let's start over.
	Okay, and you just have to say, none of it will.
	None of this will catch on.
	I'm going to show my support by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	In the morning.
	We have a few people to thank, but I should mention that you could have stretched it and you would have hit another one.
	Long COVID, brother.
	You should...
	By the way, every time you go and start to talk, that little cough is exactly the same cough that...
	And I keep hearing it in my head, and I'm sure other people do too.
	It's the exact same little cough the guy has before he says bullshit on your clip.
	The bullshit clip.
	Oh, I see what you're saying.
	Let me try.
	So my little cough would be...
	Bullshit!
	Yeah, close.
	It's close.
	Close.
	Well, whenever I'm doing it, you know what I mean.
	Ahem.
	Yeah, okay.
	I'm sure that doesn't include Greg Kovaleck in Sunbury, Pennsylvania, because he donated $100 and he wants a de-douching.
	We have that in store.
	You've been de-douched.
	I want to read this note.
	Please deduce me as I forgot to mention my main bank account for donating from my kids' iPhones.
	What do you mean?
	He took the money from his kids' iPhones?
	He's taking the kids' iPhones.
	I'm not sure which one spent $40 on an app, but thankfully my wife doesn't know that I have an account.
	Good job.
	Love that.
	She probably doesn't listen to the show either.
	No.
	Joseph Dante, Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
	Has he got a birthday coming up?
	Birthday, yeah.
	And Chuck...
	He gave weight 8008 and...
	You said?
	Chuck S. hit him in the mouth but is still a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	And Trevor D. is also a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	Double douchebag.
	But thanks for your boob donation.
	And the boob donation.
	And as we move along, we run into our hero, Sir Kevin McLaughlin, the Duke of Luna and a lover of America and boobs from Concord, North Carolina, who comes in with an 8008 as he does every show.
	Our hero.
	He's our hero.
	Gabriel Shelton in Fulton, New York, 7777.
	I love this show, calling out my brother Michael as a douchebag.
	And there's some jingles we may play at the end.
	7777 for him.
	Sean McRae, Sherman, Texas, 60.
	Jason Watkins, Sewell, New Jersey, 60.
	Christopher Dechter, 5678.
	John Adams in Bon Secours, Alabama.
	5555, he's got a birthday coming up for someone.
	John Monaco in Highland Heights, Kentucky, 5512.
	Sir Gears, night of second-hand memes in Landisville, Pennsylvania.
	There's a birthday involved there, 5510.
	Matthew Kazmar in Tacoma, Washington.
	He needs a de-douching.
	You've been de-douched.
	He came in with 55 in Tacoma.
	Sir Andrew Gardner in Leonardtown, Maryland, 5314, and there's a birthday there.
	A lot of birthdays today.
	Nick Treat in Glenmore, Pennsylvania, 5047.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	He also requested dedouching.
	You've been dedouched.
	And we did get Kazmar's dedouching, I guess.
	He wanted one, too.
	But Baron Serfinam in Appleton, Wisconsin, 50-40.
	And it's another birthday.
	Is there a dedouching there?
	Megan Schultz in Matthews, North Carolina, $50.10.
	And Alexander Beattie in Houston, Texas, $50.01.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Megan Schultz, again, she needs a dedouching.
	Oh.
	You've been de-douched.
	Our color coding is off.
	Well, no, de-douching never gets color coded.
	I thought de-douching's got a gray, or is that only for notes?
	No, that means the check came in.
	We should have a de-douching color.
	Brown.
	Oh, there's enough times on here.
	We're fresh, like a green, fresh Irish spring.
	A light green, pale green.
	Detouching spring feeling.
	Yes, fresh.
	I like a pale green.
	On to the $50 donor's name and location, if I have the location, which I don't have in the case of Sir George Wuchit.
	I think he's in Washington.
	I'm not sure.
	Michael Wendell in Matawan, New Jersey.
	Matawan.
	Jeff Denham in Stewart, Florida.
	Brandon Savoy, he's a sir, in Port Orchard, Washington.
	Gavin McGoldrick in San Francisco.
	Nice.
	Fabio Alves in Monk's Corner, South Carolina.
	Daryl DeVille in Newton, Mississippi.
	Dame Patricia Worthington in Miami, Florida.
	Kimberly Redmond in Toronto, Ontario.
	Jim Tucker in National Park, New Jersey.
	There's a town named National Park.
	I guess so.
	And there's a National Park in New Jersey.
	You used to live there.
	Was there someone there?
	What exit?
	Jonathan Ferris in Liberal, Kansas.
	Philip Kim in San Francisco, California.
	Another San Franciscan.
	Sir Robert Drakus in Oshkosh, Bogosh, Wisconsin.
	$50 is a birthday call-out for Jennifer.
	Brandon Guzman in Den Haag, Netherlands.
	And requesting a dedouching.
	A lot of those today.
	Brandon says, had a great time at the Tilburg meetup.
	Can't wait for the next one.
	Looking forward to a report.
	Jody White in Houston, Louisiana.
	And thank you, Adam, for your personal response and wealth of information given.
	What did you do?
	I answered someone out of kindness.
	I don't know exactly what it was.
	Colin Dutkiewicz, I'm thinking, in Shelbyville, Michigan, 50.
	And he's the last guy, and he needs a de-douching for myself.
	You've been de-douched.
	And a call-out for my douchebag boss, John Richardson.
	Douchebag!
	Give that man a raise!
	Call out your boss as a douchebag.
	And I would like to thank Eric B., abbreviated because his name is below the $50 cutoff, who was the one and the only person to honor Pi Day with a donation of $3.14.
	The only one.
	Math is so racist we can't even donate for it anymore.
	So, everyone hates pie.
	Yes, math.
	It's math is racist.
	You're right.
	That's what it is.
	That's not the problem.
	Thank you to these donors.
	Thank you to our executive and associate executive producers who we thanked earlier.
	And thank you very much to everyone who came in under 50.
	That is typically for reasons of anonymity, if you're close to that line, but also a lot of subscriptions.
	These are regular donations, sustaining donations that help us a lot, certainly on days like this.
	So, that is very much appreciated.
	Please consider getting one of those recurring subscriptions.
	They are indeed sustaining donations.
	You can find more information here.

	Now before we get to our knightings, a sad note.
	We lost one of our knights.
	The double tap knight, Sir Kevin Roa.
	Yes, and I literally saw him not long ago from his wife.
	So he passed away on Sunday.
	This time, it's not exactly sure what happened.
	And she writes through Baron Scott, I don't have all the details of the services yet, but it will most likely be in April.
	I'll let you know when they're finalized.
	As far as what to say, he died on Sunday, March 6.
	He was 53 years old.
	Way too young.
	He leaves behind his wife and two daughters.
	His daughters are Shelby, 23, and Ava, 16, and his wife is Tricia, and he worked as an engineer for Union Pacific Railroad for 24 years.
	Do you remember him now?
	He sent in several notes.
	Yeah, he's our engineer guy.
	So that sucks, and we're very sorry, and all loss is just sucks.
	It sucks.
	So, in traditional Gitmo Nation fashion, we say love and lit.
	Love and lit, my friend.
	One dame.
	One sole dame.
	Oh, I got the dame blade up here.
	Let me get it up and get it.
	Oh, my head!
	Hey, you want to get out of the dead segment?
	John C. Dvorak's your guy.
	Hey, Betty Solero, why don't you step on up, Betty?
	You are the only person who joins the roundtable today, but we are very proud to pronounce the Kate V as Dame Bully Steve.
	Yes, and by request, we have for you Dungeness Crab, accompanied by Deutz Blanc de Blanc.
	Along with some extra accoutrements like organic macaroni and plasticizers, beer and blunts, Rubenes, women and rosé, geishas and sake, vodka and vanilla, bong hits and bourbon, sparkling cider and escorts, ginger ale and gerbils, oh yeah, rent boys and chardonnay perhaps, or just some mutton and mead.
	Why don't you, you should try the mead and then switch off with the blanc de blanc and then see which one you like better.
	Mm-hmm.
	I can't wait to find out.
	And go to noagendanation.com slash rings.
	Make sure that you get yourself all of the info submitted so we can get your very nice Dame ring, which is a signet ring.
	You can use the accompanied sealing wax to make all of your correspondence official.
	And, of course, the Certificate of Authenticity.
	And thank you very much for supporting the No Agenda Show.
	Value for value is how we survive.
	And we really appreciate all that you've done.
	No Agenda beat-ups!
	It's not your party!
	No Agenda Meetups.
	It was actually kind of nice, because people were talking about the meetup, about our knight who passed away, our double-tap knight.
	And these are communities, and community is important, and it's a self-organizing community here in Gitmo Nation.
	So even Sir Daniel is the one who put together NoAgendaMeetups.com.
	You go there, you schedule a meetup, you blast it out, let people know.
	We do it in this report, so we have some And just go to noagendameetups.com regularly to find something, because they're all over the world.
	For instance, here's a short report from Zurich, Switzerland.
	Greetings from Gitmo Nation Fondue.
	Sir Swiss Senna here.
	I've organized a little meetup.
	We're seven people in total, and we have a nice round here.
	I'll give the phone a round.
	Here's parking his poop, who usually doesn't want to talk.
	Hi, Adam and John.
	Wiley Sow here.
	Thank you for the best podcast in the universe.
	Love you, mean it, no homo.
	Breaking news.
	Vladimir Zelensky didn't kill himself.
	Hi, John and Adam.
	Thanks for giving me the chance to meet some sane people and have fun in Zurich.
	And capital B from Bern.
	Alright.
	Hey, seven people.
	Last time they did it, I think it was two.
	So they've moved ahead 300%.
	Here's what's coming up today, in fact, March 13th.
	The Local One Lazy Lunch kicks off at 1 o'clock.
	Now that's in Michigan, so you're probably late for this at Herman's Old Town Grill.
	Or you could try Post Falls, Idaho, which you will make.
	2 o'clock Pacific Time, Selkirk Abbey.
	Meet up there.
	Tomorrow, Pi Day, 6 o'clock.
	Thank goodness someone's on that.
	The Bloomer Home in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
	So go to NoAgendaMeetups.com to find out more details about that.
	On Thursday, our next show day, the Cary Courage Local 919, 9 o'clock Eastern Time in Cary, North Carolina at Bond Brothers Beer Company.
	And then finally on our next show day, Charlotte's Thirsty Third Thursday, 7 o'clock Eastern Time, Ed's Tavern in Charlotte, North Carolina.
	There's a lot more all the way through what we even have in April and May now.
	Things are scheduled way out.
	Get on there.
	Become a member of your local community.
	If you can't find one, start one yourself.
	Noagendameetups.com.
	It's easy and it's guaranteed to be a pothead.
	Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
	You wanna be where you want me.
	Triggered or held a flame.
	You wanna be where everybody feels the same.
	It's like a party.
	Yo, yo, like a party.
	Hey, what do you think of my mic?
	Did it just sound regular to you?
	Is it a new mic?
	It is.
	Sounds pretty much the same.
	That's what I thought.
	There is one big difference about this microphone.
	It does not have the buzz interference from my dimmers and my LEDs.
	Oh, so you don't have to go around the house making sure everything's turned off.
	And Tina doesn't have to cook in the dark.
	Now, which microphone is it?
	That's the question.
	Tina, blah, blah, blah.
	What?
	You get cut off.
	Oh, no, Tina, if I'm doing a show like not on Thursday or Sunday with Mo or some other show, then if it goes late, then she's cooking in the dark.
	Not happy.
	Well, if you turn the light all the way on, doesn't that...
	No, no, no.
	I'd have to do a bypass, and it would have to be, you know, just on or off.
	And even then, we're not sure, because I haven't tested it yet, but then we'd have to do it for all these lights and dimmers.
	Anyway, the microphone is perfect.
	It sounds kind of the same.
	It doesn't have the buzz.
	Which microphone is it, John C. Dvorak?
	You're into microphones.
	Well, the microphones that sell like an EV320 are pretty...
	That's what I was using before.
	Yeah.
	The EV320's real claim to fame is its proximity effect.
	It doesn't have one.
	And that's why people use them in radio, because you can move away from the mic.
	I would assume that you didn't go buy a mic.
	So I'm thinking...
	I did.
	I'll just tell you, I bought a mic.
	Okay, because your old Rode sound a lot like this.
	The Rodecaster?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	The Procaster is called Rode Procaster.
	Yeah, but that sounded a little muffled.
	The Procaster sounded muffled to me.
	Well, I would maybe guess an SM7. No, no.
	Then I was not an SM7. It's more exciting.
	So it's not a Shure.
	Nope.
	So, who else makes a pro mic that you would accept?
	I only accept it because it sounds pretty much the same and there's no buzz.
	I mean, I love it.
	It is very different from the EV320, though.
	So, it's a side talker?
	It's a side talker.
	Oh, you sold out!
	Um...
	What does that mean?
	You made a big stink about being an end talker and talking into the mic as opposed to talking to the side.
	I know.
	Let me ask another question.
	This is kind of crucial.
	Is it a standard condenser or is it a dynamic?
	Dynamic is with 48 volts.
	That's called a condenser.
	It's a condenser.
	So you went to a condenser.
	I know.
	This is big news, isn't it?
	This is the second weirdness here.
	What was the first?
	The first is not a side talker.
	Right.
	I'm very surprised.
	Audio Technica.
	No, no, no.
	You know the answer.
	You should know the answer.
	Okay, I'm not going to belabor it because it's boring, so why don't you tell me.
	The Lewitt...
	Oh!
	LCT240 Pro.
	I would have never guessed it.
	No.
	I don't even know where you buy those mics.
	The Amazon?
	And I've never...
	It sounds like...
	Well, good.
	If it sounds like the old...
	It sounds dynamite.
	Well, that's why I liked it when I heard how I sounded on Beck.
	Now, I got a black one.
	I didn't get a white microphone.
	A couple of things.
	Beck is...
	You should ask him about this when you do a show.
	You're going to do it again.
	Uh...
	He's something of a microphone aficionado.
	Oh, definitely.
	He used to use a blue, one special blue that was cool looking, and then he's swapped around.
	He's gone through all kinds of different mics, and I think, because I think he enjoys his voice.
	Yes.
	He probably went through a lot of mics before he found that one, that Lewin.
	I think so.
	I've never even heard of him.
	He used to use an EV20. Well, look, and you know what?
	It's a very different way of operating the microphone because the front talker, you know, I'm spitting into that thing close micing all the time.
	This you back off a little bit, but you can actually change how it sounds just by moving your head a little bit.
	It's a whole different way of doing business.
	It's a whole different way of working for me, but I'm kind of liking it.
	Good.
	You sound fine.
	It sounds the same.
	Fine is not acceptable, but thanks.
	I know what you mean.
	No, it sounds the same.
	And the other sound was good.
	But I don't see that it's that much different than the road either.
	But if it stops that problem you had before, and I think it has to do with the condenser.
	Of course it does.
	Of course.
	That's why.
	In fact, there's a condenser.
	But the condensers, you have to note, have a lot...
	The cardioid pattern is way out there, so it picks up more...
	Stuff going on.
	This cardioid is really tremendous.
	You sit on the other side of this thing, you're gone almost.
	It's really incredible.
	Anyway, so much for microphone talk, everybody.
	Let's listen to somebody.
	Anybody left?
	Anybody left listening?
	We're closing it down early.
	I have four ISOs, so I'll start.
	Thank you.
	Go get him!
	Doesn't really work as an ISO, but I liked it.
	Then I have this ISO. Bull crappity crappers.
	Thought that was kind of cute.
	It is cute.
	The stuff is borderline magic.
	And then the final one, which I have high hopes for.
	We trained Nazis.
	What?
	What'd he say?
	We trained Nazis.
	We trained Nazis.
	That was Ritter.
	I actually like the two of the ones in the middle better than that one.
	Mm-hmm.
	So your high hopes are...
	Dashed.
	Let's go with my...
	I got two.
	Number one is ideal.
	Ideal for an ambush.
	I like the sound no matter what.
	Ideal for an ambush.
	For an ambush.
	And then the last one, which I think is always good for ending of the show.
	Torture.
	Torture.
	It's so short.
	It's too long, it's too short.
	Ideal for an ambush.
	I think the third one in your first batch.
	The stuff is borderline magic.
	That one?
	No.
	Bull crappity crappers.
	No, that was the second one.
	I played the third one.
	What was the fourth one?
	The fourth one was the Nazis.
	Oh, the Nazis.
	You didn't like the Nazis.
	No, I didn't like the Nazis.
	You know what?
	Let's just go nuts and use crappity crappers.
	Crappity crappers.
	Okay.
	Crappity crappers.
	Good.
	Alright, you got anything to leave with?
	I have a couple of things.
	I'm just warning you, we're going long.
	Yeah, we're going long, I know.
	I got a little funny thing, I can play this later.
	No, no, if you got a funny thing.
	There's a Colorado prison radio, do you know that's going on?
	No.
	Can I listen?
	I got the two things on the vampire squid named after Biden.
	Well, which one do you want to do?
	I got bad reporting.
	I got Blinken laughing for some unknown reason.
	Let's play this.
	This is the Blinken clip.
	And he's on Meet the Press.
	And this is the end of it.
	This is the last 58 seconds.
	And for some reason, Chuck gives him the bum's rush.
	And he says, I know you're busy.
	You've got to catch a plane.
	You've got things to do.
	You're a busy man.
	And so Blinken actually literally cracks up when he hears this.
	The expanse of its military has the potential to keep grinding down these incredibly brave and resilient Ukrainians.
	But...
	Here's the thing.
	Winning a battle is not winning a war.
	Taking a city is not taking the hearts and minds of Ukrainians.
	And what we've learned over the past couple of weeks is that they will fight to the end for their country.
	And if it takes a week, if it takes a month, if it takes a year.
	And Putin has no plan for how this actually ends on his terms.
	He can't impose his will And Russia's will on 45 million Ukrainians.
	They've clearly demonstrated that.
	But it may take some considerable time to play out.
	We want it to end as quickly as possible, with Ukraine having its independence, its territorial integrity, its sovereignty.
	But I think we need to be prepared for this going on for some time.
	Secretary Antony Blinken, I know you're busy.
	I know you've got yet another plane to catch.
	Thanks for coming on and sharing your perspective with us.
	Thank you, Chuck.
	He had a big smile, too.
	He laughed.
	Because he feels...
	Okay.
	Because Chuck made him feel really important by saying, you're an important man.
	You're very busy.
	I know you're jumping out of the plane.
	I know you're just dynamite.
	I'll see you at the bar.
	Yeah, well, Blinken blew that up by laughing at it, but...
	I think a lot of it has to do with Blinken's presentation.
	He's boring.
	He is John Kerry worse than John Kerry.
	He is pretty blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	And he keeps saying, but so he doesn't end his sentences.
	It's like if I talk to you, but, I never stop talking.
	But, I didn't want to do it that way.
	But, but, but.
	Well, if you say, but, then you can just disregard everything that came before that.
	So he just keeps talking crap, I guess.
	Yeah, buts.
	All right.
	That's all I got.
	I mean, there's other stuff we can get next show.
	Oh, that's good.
	That's good.
	We have to stop because we got Hog Story coming up live on noagendastream.com.
	No.
	We're stepping on their show.
	It's all right.
	We atone.
	Yes.
	We're sorry.
	Go to noagendastream.com or if you're at trollroom.io, just stay put.
	You'll be fine.
	We have end of show mixes from Tom Starkweather.
	Tom rips apart the vice president.
	And LC7 Square does a Bryce Mitchell end of show.
	If you don't know who that is, you'll recognize it when you hear him.
	And coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No.
	6 in the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, hey, Putin, get out of the Ukraine!
	Or, uh, the...
	Oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said the...
	Oh, well.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We return on Thursday with another episode of Deconstruction.
	Please remember to support us.
	Go to dvorak.org slash na.
	We'll see you then.
	Until then, adios mofos!
	and such.
	I want to be very clear.
	Okay, it's over.
	I said it many times, I will say it again.
	I said it many times, I will say it again.
	Looking at images of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
	I want to be very clear.
	Okay, it's okay.
	Okay, it's okay.
	A friend in me is a friend in me.
	Okay, I can first.
	Okay, it's okay.
	We all watched the television coverage of just yesterday.
	That's on top of everything else that we know and don't know yet based on what we've just been able to see.
	And because we've seen it or not doesn't mean it hasn't.
	I want to be very clear.
	Okay, so...
	Okay, so...
	I'm not...
	I'm not...
	I'm not going nowhere to fight none of these wars for these politicians, for these politicians, for these politicians.
	Everybody's saying, well, we gotta evacuate.
	We gotta leave.
	I will not.
	I'm not.
	I will dig my boots into Arkansas soil and I will fight.
	For the people that I love, for the people that I love, for the people that I love, for the land that I love, for the land that I love, and the way of life that I love.
	There's been so much political corruption. Political corruption. Political corruption. Political corruption.
	I'm not.
	You got Biden and his son making a shit ton of money.
	A shit ton of money.
	I'm not.
	I'm not.
	The Ukrainian government, if you don't do this, we're taking your tax dollars.
	We're taking your tax dollars.
	I'm not going nowhere to fight with these politicians.
