	Suddenly life was better.
	Adam Curry, John C. DeVore.
	It's Thursday, March 17th, 2022.
	This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media assassination episode 1434.
	This is No Agenda.
	Seeing red and green and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, FEMA Region No.
	6.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Northern California, we're wondering what he's laughing about.
	And we're also wondering what happened to the maternity hospital.
	I'm John C. DeVore.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	That's it.
	It's long COVID. It's done.
	My career is over.
	I can't talk anymore.
	You sound like one of those sexy barflies.
	No, I don't.
	I sound like I can't modulate.
	It's the weirdest thing.
	Anyway, what's the status of the maternity hospital, John?
	Well, you know, it's funny, you know, I've been, not in any way to ridicule things, but, you know, me, but I keep bringing this kind of a running gag up because I keep talking about it.
	So then after the last show, which was I think the seventh or eighth time I've discussed this maternity hospital that was bombed by the Russians, I go back to the TV and immediately start doing research for the next show and go to the Meet the Press.
	And there it is again!
	The maternity hospital.
	In fact, this is actually a pretty good rundown.
	This is the Sunday's Meet the Press Ukraine summary.
	As Russia's hopes of a lightning-quick victory have evaporated, it's shifted instead to shooting at people who can't shoot back.
	Consider these lasting images of Russia's war of choice here.
	A mother, her two children, a family friend, lying dead in the street, struck down as they simply ran for safety.
	And then there's this.
	Babies and pregnant women being evacuated from a maternity hospital after it was targeted by Russia.
	Russia continued its onslaught, closing in on Kiev and now hitting western cities, including an attack overnight at a military training center near Lviv that was just 15 miles from the border with Poland, a NATO ally.
	Ukrainian forces are hitting back, attacking that convoy outside of the capital.
	But in the besieged city of Mariupol, where mass graves are being dug, there's no food, no water, no way out right now.
	And there are increasing concerns that Russian use chemical or biological weapons as a way to try to target...
	Have you noticed how the biological weapons have now become biological and chemical weapons?
	Oh, no, I haven't noticed that.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, yeah.
	We went from biological.
	Well, we know chemical is the best because we have experience with that.
	There are increasing concerns that Russia may use chemical or biological weapons as a way to try to target insurgents hiding in basements.
	I don't think so.
	Even as it accuses Ukraine of planning such an attack.
	But as Volodymyr Zelensky said, if you want to know Russia's plans, look at what Russia accuses others of.
	So is Vladimir Putin really looking for an off-ramp?
	If so, what kind of deal can you make to end a war with a country that won't even admit there is a war?
	Alright, alright.
	I'll take your nonsense from Chip, Todd, Chuck, whatever his name is, and I will add for you the response from our extremely competent government.
	What they're doing about this.
	These are atrocities.
	Thank goodness we have Nancy Pelosi leading everything and she can explain it to us.
	But they know that we can't go there.
	Putin is trying to bait the trap so that we go in, and that could be the beginning of World War III. Putin, totally irresponsible, using...
	Weapons that are not allowed under the Geneva Convention.
	Connection.
	Putin who threatens use of chemical weapons, nuclear and the rest.
	So they know that we can't.
	But it's the ask.
	Now, he was this morning more, if we can't have a no-fly zone, let us go.
	I just love that this is, you know, this is who speaks on our behalf right now and is explaining it to the American people, what we're doing.
	Have our own, and we need the airplanes to command.
	This morning he was less on the ask for the policy, more on let us do it, help us get the planes.
	But also, there is a school of thought that thinks the anti-aircraft missiles and the rest are a very important way.
	Myself, when I see that, those tanks, that 40 miles of tanks, I like to take out those tanks.
	I mean, I think that them having more planes might be useful.
	But I'm not a military strategist.
	No kidding.
	We hope that we will be able to get up to a place, I hope, you asked me how, I hope that we can get to a place where the MiGs, which are the kinds of planes they've been trained on, can go to Ukraine.
	The F-16s, especially if we have an excess of them, can backfill Poland.
	Now tell me that isn't embarrassing.
	I mean, that's just embarrassing.
	The woman can't speak a full sentence.
	No.
	And meanwhile, the actual solution has been presented to us.
	I have two words for you.
	Predator drones.
	The source also saying the U.S. and other allies are looking at ways to send armed drones to Ukraine to help stop the Russians from advancing.
	Yeah.
	Uh, I want to talk about that too, but Pelosi in her little diatribe there says that the Russians have threatened, she specifically said they have threatened the use of chemical weapons.
	I haven't heard that.
	Yeah, so I'm asking you, I thought you may have heard something.
	No, I've not heard this at all.
	Who's she hearing from?
	Well, she's, I don't know, she's Nancy Pelosi, man.
	I have no idea.
	The seven second clip was about the drones.
	I have a couple of clips where they're talking about the drones.
	Yeah.
	You give them drones and all of a sudden they get joysticks, they're flying them around.
	I mean, this takes a lot of training.
	These are the switchblade drones.
	I think that's the same one that did such a good job in Kabul.
	You know, the one that killed the teacher and those kids.
	That's the kind of drone they're talking about.
	The one that dives down, switches open like a switchblade knife, and then explodes.
	Oh.
	Doesn't it take some, like, I would assume, months or longer of training to operate one of those things correctly?
	Yes, that's why we send over advisors.
	You know, advisors.
	They only advise.
	They'll move the joystick a bit to the right, and then, you know, press the button.
	We're at war.
	We're doing it.
	Well, it's nuts because the thing is, and I want to go back in time to something you brought up on the last show, which was this Sargon woman.
	So I went back and listened to that thing.
	And I have a clip.
	Because I think this war is going to be over tomorrow.
	It could.
	It could be.
	I mean, that's why I think they're ramping up COVID again.
	We've got to keep people scared.
	Seems like there's an agreement on the table between Zelensky and Putin.
	Well, she discusses this.
	Sargon brings something up, and then...
	Now, who was she again?
	Because I forgot entirely who she was, the Sargon lady.
	She's the woman who wrote Bad News, Woke Media.
	Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	No, yeah, exactly.
	The woke media is undermining democracy.
	That's who she is.
	And I should mention, because I was thinking about this, This book has been written about 10 times in the last 10 years.
	I've been keeping up with it.
	Every year, I wanted some writer who's like her, a liberal, who's looking around saying, hey, these people are doing a lousy job and they're pretty much lying to the public.
	I'm going to write a book about it.
	And the book always says the same thing, that the media stinks and is run by corporations that don't care or do care and they're just promoting some agenda.
	And it's all bad.
	It's bad news.
	She has the best title so far.
	This book has come out over and over again.
	This is the latest version.
	But she comes out.
	And this is, I'm sorry, I'm congested now.
	Yeah, I infected you.
	I'm sorry.
	You did over the, this is the, that mic is phenomenal.
	That mic is so good.
	This is Sargon versus Bruni.
	This guy, Frank Bruni, who came on and he's rah, rah, rah.
	He's a tough guy.
	And he's on the Mars show.
	And what she says here.
	Oh, this is the New York Times reporter, you mean?
	Bruni?
	Yeah, isn't he?
	He was on the show with her?
	Yeah, he was on the show.
	He's the elitist New York Times reporter.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	And what she says here, and there's other clips that back her up, is...
	It's an indictment of the media and especially the mainstream.
	And then what he says in response is just like, did he even listen to her?
	This is the best example I could find at like a bang-bang couple of clips that show two people, you know, one person, these people on the left, the Frank Bruni guy, the New York Times, the Washington Post, all the mainstream media guys, They've got their head up their ass.
	Listen to clip one.
	I believe that if you're not going to absolutely crush your enemy, you have to give them a way out.
	And the thing is, we're not going to crush Russia.
	We are not going to crush Putin.
	We should not be invading.
	We should not be giving a no-fly zone.
	Now, here's the interesting thing that people who are disconnected from the news as well as people who are connected from the news don't know, which is that on Monday, Putin laid out three conditions for immediately stopping the campaign in Ukraine, the invasion of Ukraine, that war there.
	The three conditions were that Ukraine give up trying to become part of NATO, that the Crimea be declared part of Russia, and that the Donbas region be recognized as independent.
	In other words, Putin said, if you recognize the actual status quo, I am willing to stop this immediately.
	Then later that night, Zelensky gave an interview to ABC News where he said on NATO, he is willing to give up his claim to NATO, his request to join NATO. On the Donbas and on Crimea, he said those requests, he's not going to accept them as ultimatums, but he is willing to negotiate on them.
	In other words, the two sides of this conflict on Monday of this week said that there is room to negotiate and agreed on much of the territory.
	You did not hear about that in any of the mainstream media except for a tiny bit here, a tiny bit there.
	Why aren't the headlines saying the two sides are willing to accept some of the same conditions?
	They're moving towards each other.
	You only read about that in the Israeli news.
	Why is that?
	Why aren't we helping them to end this?
	Why are we escalating in our media?
	What was interesting about that soliloquy of hers is she knows the answer.
	She wrote the book about it.
	She knows.
	It's not effective to keep asking the questions, but yeah, and I think that he even, Zelensky, that's even mainstream now, is that he said, well, you know, what if I just say I won't go into NATO? Nah, we can't have that.
	Well, actually, I have another clip to back these two up, which is the Ukraine-Russo deal, but listen to, now, okay, now what she said was that Putin laid down here, this, this, and this, and I'm out of here.
	Seems reasonable, and by the way, which are the same things that we've discussed on this show as probably the characteristics of this whole thing, which is no NATO, we get Crimea, and we want Donbass to be independent.
	That's it.
	We've discussed it since this thing started.
	This looks like it's always been the target.
	It's a replay of the Georgia scenario.
	Everything falls into place.
	It's not unreasonable.
	But wait a minute.
	Yes, it is.
	Let's listen to what our New York Times got.
	After listening to what she said, instead of defending the media or saying anything like it, he says it's some sort of bull crap and it's all on Putin's nuts.
	Here we go.
	That all sounds very rational, but I don't think we're in the realm of the rational here.
	I don't think Putin is acting rationally.
	I mean, and so I'm not I'm not as confident as you are that this thing can be negotiated.
	You know, like sanctions, for example, I think we're doing the right thing.
	The more sanctions, the merrier.
	I don't think they're going to work, though, because Putin isn't playing in the field of the more sanctions, the merrier.
	But you're not going to work.
	No.
	What right there?
	You can stop you stop it there and analyze that.
	The more sanctions, the merrier, but they're not going to work.
	What's the point?
	Right.
	Well, it's at this point, it's just virtue signaling.
	It's just, it's mass hysteria.
	It's beyond, it was pretty much what you've been saying.
	Yeah.
	But it's beyond, it's abnormal thinking.
	Yes.
	So let's go and let's back it up a little bit, listen to that stupidity that he just spewed, and then let him finish up with his analysis, not the reality.
	You know, like sanctions, for example.
	I think we're doing the right thing.
	The more sanctions, the merrier.
	I don't think they're going to work, though, because Putin isn't playing in the field of economics.
	Putin is playing in the field of ego, his and his country's.
	And, I mean, this is war as a narcissistic meltdown, right?
	I mean, this isn't rational.
	Well, you're correct.
	What you were saying is not rational, that's for sure.
	So you have to do it on ego?
	So what does that mean?
	What's the strategy?
	It doesn't mean anything.
	These guys are nuts.
	This is bad reporting.
	This is what the media has been doing.
	These people should be out of business.
	It's really borderline pathetic.
	And to take what she said and not argue or discuss it and to go on with the Putin's nuts notion is just...
	It's from the steroids.
	I heard this morning it's because he's been taking steroids.
	He's gone the steroids nuts.
	Rooney?
	No.
	No, Putin.
	Putin, it's the steroids, man.
	I wouldn't be surprised if he was not taking...
	Some kind of stimulant.
	Well, no, there's testosterone.
	He's old.
	Yeah.
	I mean, even Joe Rogan takes it.
	Yeah, he's got low T, man.
	Low T? Low T. I want to play something for you.
	Oh.
	Just to give you some more idiocy.
	Abby Phillips is back on the scene.
	Remind me who she is.
	Oh, she was, yeah, Abby Phillips.
	She was on RT and had that show.
	Oh, come on.
	She was the one that started cussing all the time.
	Abby Martin?
	Oh, I don't have the wrong one.
	I thought it was Abby Phillips.
	Oh, that doesn't count then.
	Who's Abby Phillips?
	That's what I was asking you.
	I don't know.
	Well, we might as well play the clip now since I've already introduced her.
	I'll find out who she is.
	When President Biden is at this NATO meeting, which I think is going to be an extraordinary meeting that we see next week, what does he have to do?
	What's the assignment?
	The question is, where and how is America going to lead in this new world order?
	There's no questions.
	Everyone agrees we have entered a new phase of global peace and security and conflict, frankly.
	And for much of the last century, the United States has been leading.
	Will they lead in the future?
	And I think that's a huge question because on a lot of this stuff as it relates to this conflict, while the U.S. has been on the forefront of making clear what Russia is doing, It has seemed that they've taken a back step to the Europeans.
	They've said to the Europeans, you guys decide what you want to do and we will follow along so that we have a united front.
	And I do think it's a big question whether the Biden administration perceives the United States as playing the same role In this next era of peace and security and conflict on the globe as they did in the last era.
	And how they do that, what they are willing to say and promise, what signals they give to Ukraine about their future and some of these organizations, whether it be the European Union or NATO. Huge questions, I think, on the table for global leaders.
	Yeah, it's too bad it wasn't Abby Martin after all.
	But this is kind of the thinking.
	It's like, oh, you know, we need globalism.
	We need global leaders to take care of this.
	This is Obama's thinking.
	Yes!
	Obama was exactly the same way.
	In this situation, since this action is taking place in Europe, I don't think we need to be leading the way, but that's okay.
	I just wanted to go back to this thing going on with the Sargon and the other guy, and In his irrational response to her observation that no one's covering the reality of this thing, this is some coverage of it right here.
	This is a Ukraine-Russo deal afoot.
	A senior Ukrainian official says he's confident that Ukraine and Russia are moving closer to a possible negotiated ceasefire.
	As NPR's Ryan Lucas reports, the two sides have held several rounds of talks as Russian forces pounded cities across Ukraine.
	Podolak, a top Ukrainian negotiator in the ongoing talks with Russia, says the Kremlin's position has softened significantly as the war has dragged on.
	Speaking through an interpreter in an interview with PBS NewsHour, Podolak claims that Russia's attack has become bogged down in the face of Ukrainian resistance.
	They are stuck fighting in their current positions, and they have no chances whatsoever to move further into Ukrainian territory.
	Therefore, we have much confidence that we will have a ceasefire in the coming days.
	Russian officials have hinted that the two sides may be closer to a deal, but the country's president, Vladimir Putin, has not publicly signaled a readiness to pull back his forces.
	So here's a question.
	Let's say they come to a deal.
	Is there an off-ramp for us?
	Everyone's talking about, do we have an off-ramp for Putin?
	Is there an off-ramp for us?
	Do they get reconnected to Swift?
	Do all those companies turn everything back on?
	I don't hear anyone talking about that.
	Nobody's talking about that.
	I believe this is intended to be permanent.
	They have no intention of bringing Russia back into the financial network.
	There may be a clip within my clips that actually says what you just said.
	You don't do sanctions unless they're permanent.
	Right.
	Right.
	And the Russians are all set up for this.
	They don't care, as far as I can tell.
	And as long as the oil and gas keeps flowing, a billion dollars a day is what they're bringing in.
	And that's not changing.
	What's interesting is if you look at YouTube and TikTok and you look at Russian citizens, and they're speaking directly to the West.
	And they're saying, hey, you know, I just want to show you guys what's going on over here.
	And...
	It's weird because even for me, and I'm somewhat worldly, I look at this, oh wow, this is a really modern gas station.
	Oh, look at that supermarket.
	And they got all kinds of products and the shelves are stocked and they have issues.
	And I'm sure they're KGB agents, FSB, who are, this is all propaganda.
	I can't believe it's allowed, but yes.
	But it seems like, okay, we'll just muddle on forward.
	Well, the thing that happened during the first round of sanctions, which Trump put on, and I guess they were put on by...
	I can't even remember the reasons for that.
	But they sanctioned them for one thing or another.
	And one of the things they did, it screwed up...
	If you remember all these stories, this is during our show era and the new agenda era.
	Mm-hmm.
	They were a bit...
	A lot of the...
	I think even all the Polish...
	There's a lot of Polish, Hungarian, and German fruit sellers that used to sell a lot of their fruit into Russia.
	They were cut off.
	And a lot of the dairy in the European area that was sending their milk products and cheeses, like the French, they were cut off.
	And there was a report that the Russians had finally rediscovered that they have milk, they have cows, and they make cheese, and the Russians themselves were rediscovering their own cheeses and milks and their own products, and they were, instead of going back and forth with the Russians' export, A plum and they import a plum, which I've always been baffled by this idea of being a great idea.
	But I'm baffled by people thinking it's a great idea that I export a plum and import a plum.
	When I see Yamato tractors coming into the United States when we ship caterpillars.
	You know, why don't we just keep the caterpillars and use them and they can keep their...
	Anyway, so the point is the Russians...
	We have a lot of self-sufficiency.
	It is the world's biggest country.
	This is really a war of networks, and this network war is all around us.
	Besides the obvious what you'd think when you say network wars, you know, Fox, CNN, MSNBC, but there's people who own social networks.
	They're at war silencing people.
	Financial networks, food supply networks, energy networks, electricity networks, and the people really don't control much of these networks at all.
	That's the thing that gets me.
	I think still, people don't walk around going, those damn Russians, I want to kill all the Russians.
	It's only Putin.
	But they don't think twice about what it's doing to normal citizens.
	This, again, is just that mass hysteria that we're in.
	Putin gave an address.
	Which is always fun because I have to make sure it's been properly translated.
	Sir Gene, of course, a very sketchy red scum Russian, but it's the best we've got, so we have to trust him.
	And he obviously sees a very different side since he speaks the language and understands the culture.
	Having come to Minneapolis when he was a kid from Russia, from St.
	say Petersburg.
	But I just want to read this piece of what Putin said.
	He gave an address and it was directed at the West.
	And of course, no one bothered to put that on television.
	They could have at least mocked him for it.
	Nope.
	So the Russian president says, the myth of the Western welfare state of the so-called golden billion is crumbling.
	Russian President Vladimir Putin has opined that the latest rounds of unprecedented sanctions imposed on Russia by the U.S. and its allies over the Kremlin's military campaign in Ukraine mark the end of an era.
	According to Putin, from now on, the West will be losing its global dominance both politically and economically.
	So he spoke on Wednesday, and he said...
	Exactly this, the so-called golden billion, is crumbling.
	Moreover, it is the whole planet that is having to pay the price for the West's ambitions and its attempts to retain its vanishing dominance at any cost.
	The president predicted food shortages across the world as Western sanctions against Russia are adversely affecting the entire global economy.
	And touching on a decision by several Western powers to freeze Russia's central bank assets, Putin claimed that this would only serve to irreparably undermine trust in those nations and make other countries think twice before placing their reserves in the care of those countries.
	According to him, nearly half of Moscow's assets were simply stolen by the West.
	And that is, by definition, true.
	If he can't send a message to say, hey, put some of our money from this account into that account to pay for something, then he has no control.
	It's not their money.
	And they have a debt payment due, which is pretty funny.
	Where was that?
	I wasn't exactly expecting to do this right now.
	Anyway, I'll play that later.
	I think there may be some truth to that.
	We're seeing...
	Now, the prices of gas have gone down, but that's mainly because China has shut down important ports and cities for new COVID or whatever.
	I don't see them.
	I see it only affecting us negatively.
	Blueberry, you know Blueberry, the podcast hosting company?
	No.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, you should know Blueberry.
	I should.
	Yeah, so Todd does a show with Rob from Libsyn.
	It's kind of an industry thing, and they're talking about, yeah, we have a lot of Russian podcasters, and now all of a sudden they can't pay their bill.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah, I was like, oh, we're trying to figure out ways to help them.
	No deplatforming of Russia when it comes to your own company.
	And, oh, goodness, yeah, we didn't know that would affect anything.
	I mean, these are things, you know, did they game all of this out?
	Did they think about all the little nuances?
	Biden?
	Well, I mean, it's more than just Biden, I would presume.
	Well, yeah, it's actually the National Security Council.
	They're the ones who call the shot.
	Exactly.
	That the National Security Council actually runs the country.
	Here's this clip about...
	It's very interesting watching CNBC because, you know, they're trying to give us correct information.
	It's kind of their job.
	How's that work?
	Oops.
	Yeah, right.
	Yeah, it looks like no, Morgan.
	So far, I've seen no evidence of interest payments on those dollar-denominated bonds reaching the accounts of bondholders.
	We're monitoring the situation closely.
	It's fluid, and it could be indicative of the nation's first default on its external bonds since the Bolsheviks took over way back in 1917.
	This is not a story, though, about Russia's economic ability to pay.
	The country has half as much debt as General Motors and was rated investment grade as recently as last month due to its large reserves and flowing oil.
	But sanctions froze its dollars in reserve, and other technicalities are likely to prevent the Kremlin from servicing its debt as required under its bond contracts.
	Paying with rubles, as Russia has indicated it was willing to do, would still constitute a default budget.
	According to ratings agencies.
	So someone's going to get screwed out of a payment, and it's going to be Europeans and Americans if they default on the bond.
	And they say, we want to pay, we just can't do it.
	The London Metals Exchange finally reopened.
	Oh, yes.
	Whoa, this was fun.
	The price of nickel doubled to like $100,000, what is that, per tonne?
	I don't know.
	I'm not sure what it is.
	And here's the cool thing.
	So I guess they have an over-the-counter market in the metals, which I guess is people faxing each other trades back and forth, and some trader in China was short nickel, and now we're finding out what happened.
	And all of a sudden, he got in a short squeeze, and he owed $8 billion to, I think, J.P. Morgan.
	So that's why they closed down the exchange, and they reversed the trades.
	They literally, and now some people were making...
	Yeah, some people made a lot of money and those trades were reversed as well.
	That happens.
	Here's the CEO of the London Metals Exchange.
	Matthew, again, from my own experience, when any trader knows that there is a position out there that either can't be closed or is just sitting there like the elephant in the room, is all the price action until that position is closed, is it really going to be a bit of a false market until we know what Xinjiang are going to do with this position?
	So the reason that we took the very difficult steps last Tuesday that we had to suspend the market is because, exactly as you say, we felt that the pricing that was being produced was not representative of the physical market because of what we now know is the existence of this very large short position.
	So I agree with you.
	We cannot get accurate pricing with a situation like that in the market.
	That is why we have seen that action taken.
	And that's why we are more confident today that when we reopen, we'll start to see some proper pricing signals.
	But we also have other policy actions that we can take going forward.
	I agree with you that the key thing is pricing that works for the physical market, and that's not going to happen when you have a disruptive situation like we see at the moment.
	I.e.
	nothing's going to change.
	Totally.
	That was totally messed up.
	We've got to change stuff.
	More legislation.
	They're getting sloppy too, John.
	They're getting sloppy in who they're putting on.
	They're getting sloppy in who they're letting speak.
	Let's go back to 2014 for a quick 22-second reminder of Victoria Nuland talking to her ambassador discussing who they, the United States envoy, were going to put into the Ukrainian government after the American orchestrated revolution.
	I think Yats is the guy who's got the economic experience, the governing experience.
	He's the guy, you know, what he needs is Cleach and Tani Book on the outside.
	He needs to be talking to them four times a week, you know.
	I just think Cleach going in, he's going to be at that level working for Yatsenyuk.
	It's just not going to work.
	Yeah, no, I think that's right.
	Okay.
	Alright, so who shows up in the CBS this evening report?
	Vitaly Klitschko is the mayor where Charlie is in Kiev.
	He's been documenting the damage to his city on his social media pages.
	In his previous life, the mayor, along with his brother, once dominated the heavyweight boxing world.
	Well, earlier today, we spoke with him about his latest fight, the fight for his nation's survival.
	Is your city in the crosshairs tonight?
	In the crosshairs.
	Yeah, it's every night, during the day, during the night, people spend weeks in underground, in bunkers.
	The people were so angry.
	It's no panic.
	Instead of panic, they want to fight, they want to defend the city.
	Mayor, you have warned that Russians could carry out a chemical attack.
	Do you see any evidence that that could happen soon?
	Everything is possible.
	We see in this war, Russia doesn't have rules.
	What you're seeing, I think, is the egos coming forward.
	He was kind of pushed out by Victoria Nuland in 2014.
	He should be on the outside.
	I don't see him working on the inside.
	And now he's weaseled his way in.
	I think this is a crack in their thinking.
	This guy should not be on.
	He's going to ruin it for him.
	And he's spreading the chemical weapons thing, which is not biochemical.
	Yeah, they're probably losing control of the narrative.
	I think so.
	And it doesn't help the Sargon woman and these other...
	The cracks are there.
	Like I said, this has got to end pretty soon because both sides are...
	Putin wants it over, that's for sure.
	Unless you think he's nuts and he never wants it over.
	Nancy's going to get in an F-16 and strife the 40-mile-long tanks.
	Jump in a plane.
	She's going to blow it up if she could.
	And, of course, we had the great show.
	By the way, again, taking the Polish MiGs, old MiGs, MiG-29s, and then giving them away so you can backfill them with...
	What, are we going to give them the F-16s free?
	I don't know.
	What's the deal with this?
	Yeah, well, yes.
	You and I, we're paying for it.
	Listen, here's what's going on.
	The theater has been cranked up.
	They did an off-way production in Canada, just a little test run, to see how it would work with the true liberals up there, to have Zelensky speak in front of the parliament and plead.
	And they tweaked the message and then they brought everybody in.
	All the politicians all sat in the room.
	You saw that room where they were sitting on two sides, kind of more like a theater style with a big screen up front with the flags?
	You saw that?
	No.
	I have clips from it, but I didn't see it.
	It looked very much like the Apple commercial depicting George Orwell's 1984.
	The famous 1984 commercial that was actually played in 1984.
	At the Super Bowl.
	They were a little too close together, you know, and an all-standing ovation both sides because the war machine is on and it is ready.
	Now, this is before Zelensky spoke.
	This is Good Morning America.
	Today, Zelensky is expected to ask for even more support.
	He has urged lawmakers to support a no-fly zone.
	There's little appetite for that here on Capitol Hill.
	But the New York Times is reporting that Ukrainian officials are expected to hand over a list to the U.S. of what they need in terms of military equipment, everything from armed drones to mobile air defense systems, equipment they believe is easy to use.
	But can make a very big impact on the battlefield.
	And if this speech this morning is anything like his address to Canadian Parliament, it will be emotional, it will be personal.
	He will ask them to imagine if the U.S. is under attack and if the target is their family, their children.
	This was interesting because she already knew what he was going to say.
	This is before Zelensky spoke, and he will make it personal, and he will ask them about their children, which is exactly what he did.
	Exactly.
	9-11, Pearl Harbor.
	Oh, that's a scam?
	Yeah.
	Oh, no.
	Oh, no.
	It's a scam?
	Really?
	No.
	Let's continue.
	The war machine cranks up again.
	The White House is surely anticipating what is no doubt going to be this emotional plea from President Zelensky.
	And then later this morning, we're going to hear President Biden deliver these remarks where I'm told he's expected to announce $800 million in new military aid to Ukraine.
	That includes those weapons that Rachel was just talking about, the ones Ukrainians have been asking for, like those anti-tank and anti-air systems, as the U.S. also now, as Rachel just said, considering sending armed drones as well.
	This is part of that aid that the president signed as a bipartisan package yesterday.
	And take a look at what I'm told is the weapons that the United States has provided Ukraine in the past year.
	600 Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, 2,600 Javelin anti-tank missiles, 200 grenade launchers and ammunition, five choppers, three boats, 70 other vehicles, other vehicles.
	And there has been a billion in aid just in the past week alone.
	Amy, we are also learning this morning that now President Biden is heading to Europe next week.
	He He's going to attend a NATO summit in Brussels.
	The White House right now isn't saying at this point if he's planning to head to Poland to meet with refugees or whether he will meet with Vladimir Zelensky in person.
	They are still working out the details, but no doubt, Amy, the timing of this is expected to show a serious show of force and unity among these allies.
	Did you hear this coffee, lady?
	Did you hear that...
	That laundry list?
	2,600 tank-busting...
	Yeah, I heard it.
	Where are those things?
	How come no one's using those?
	Or have they already been smuggled to Africa?
	Oh, they're selling them.
	So why didn't they just move this stuff from Afghanistan that they $80 billion worth of gear and give it to these guys?
	Don't bring in logic.
	Let's stick with the warmongers.
	Now, I have the Zelensky Speech to America report on NPR. Which is a little less breathtaking than this last report you had.
	Yeah, I want to mention something quick, which is Defense One, which is a very good newsletter for people who like to follow this stuff.
	They brought up kind of an editorial, but it was a very nice piece called...
	Give us an example of where a no-fly zone ever worked.
	Mm-hmm.
	And they say, here's 10, and they have 10, I wish I had it in front of me, but they have 10 questions to ask about no-fly zones.
	And the point they're making is that they've never worked, they never do work, they just don't work.
	They're just bull crap.
	It just sounds cool, and Lindsey Graham loves how it sounds.
	And it's like, it's nonsense, and you should take that into account when you hear all this, it just causes nothing but trouble.
	Anyway, and that's from the pros.
	But let's listen to this.
	This is the mayor of the Zelensky speech to America.
	And this is from NPR? I believe so, yes.
	Zelensky has spoken with U.S. lawmakers.
	Right off the bat, it irritates me.
	This is the Zelensky issue.
	Of course.
	This is the Zelensky issue.
	Zelensky has spoken with U.S. lawmakers before.
	What was different about today's address to Congress, do you think?
	Well, this one was public.
	He's previously spoken in private with lawmakers, but this speech was broadcast live to the American people.
	And I think that broader audience was who President Zelensky was appealing to.
	He was making the case to the American people about what's at stake for his country.
	He spoke in Ukrainian, but at the end, he spoke in English and directly appealed to President Biden.
	He urged him to be a, quote, leader of peace.
	At one point, Zelensky played a video that had really graphic images showing the brutal impact of the war in Ukraine.
	One lawmaker I talked to said it moved many in the room to tears.
	Well, what about his plea for more weapons and more sanctions?
	Did you get a sense that lawmakers were receptive to that?
	Very receptive.
	Members of both parties says the U.S. needs to step it up.
	They want the U.S. to transfer more defensive weapons, more of the stingers and javelins, the anti-missile systems that have already been deployed.
	There's also bipartisan support in Congress for the U.S. to facilitate sending these Soviet-style MiG planes from Poland that Ukrainian pilots can...
	What is it with Soviet-style MiG planes?
	Is that like AR-15 style?
	I don't understand.
	MiGs are Soviet planes.
	I know, it's funny.
	Soviet style.
	Stingers and javelins, the anti-missile systems that have already been deployed.
	There's also bipartisan support in Congress for the U.S. to facilitate sending these Soviet-style MiG planes from Poland that Ukrainian pilots can use.
	To do, as Zelensky said, to close the skies.
	The Biden administration has argued that doing that would be an escalation.
	But lawmakers up here say Ukraine needs those planes to tip the balance.
	Here's Colorado Democratic Congressman Jason Crow.
	He's an Iraq and Afghanistan war veteran.
	I think we could provide more weapons and better weapons to help them fight and win.
	The bottom line is the Ukrainians, if this is an equal playing field, will win.
	But it's not an equal playing field.
	Okay, more weapons, Deirdre, but what about a no-fly zone?
	Like, most members of Congress have opposed that, right?
	Did this speech change any minds?
	Not on that issue.
	The majority, as you say, agree with the administration's position that a no-fly zone risks drawing the U.S. into a broader conflict.
	Some have started talking about what they're calling a humanitarian no-fly zone, but it's unclear how that would work.
	Ugh.
	Okay.
	Tucker had a Republican on, just to show you the war machine, representing the 27th District of Florida, Maria Salazar.
	And they had gotten an interview on the street with her for saying, oh yeah, I'm all for it.
	Let's do the no-fly zone.
	How can we not?
	And so Tucker invited her on, and she came on, credit to her there, and she defended her position.
	And that wasn't as interesting to me, but she disqualified herself during that interview at a certain point And to me, that just shows you you're untrustworthy, you're just virtue signaling, you're just a part of the warmongering crowd.
	No matter what position you take that even sounds reasonable, you're just disqualified.
	See if you can catch it.
	Because we believe, we don't need more evidence that Putin has bad intent, that he's evil.
	A lot of people believe he's crazy, including some informed people, including many Russians.
	So we know he's volatile.
	And we know that he's heavily...
	How many nuclear weapons, by the way, does Russia have?
	Do you know?
	Many.
	One is enough.
	So are we concerned at all that he might use a nuclear weapon against the United States?
	Is that a concern?
	Is that something that you consider as you recommend these?
	Of course that we're very concerned.
	And we're also concerned that he may be throwing a biological weapon against the Ukrainians within the next few hours because he cannot take Kiev or Kiev as he thought he was going to.
	Did you hear it?
	Well, I heard ten things.
	I can't isolate one.
	She said they were going to do a biological attack in a couple of hours, which is, I guess, already passed, so that didn't happen.
	So she's full of shit, period.
	She didn't think much about getting bombed by a nuke, and she doesn't know how many nukes she even has.
	Here's the capture.
	Here's where she can see that she's captured and is using approved talking points.
	It's at the very end.
	Weapon against the Ukrainians within the next few hours because he cannot take Kiev or Kiev as he thought he was going to.
	She switches from Kiev to Kiev.
	Oh.
	Come on.
	You are all in when you're doing that.
	Because that's the Ukrainian side.
	You say, Kiev, you're a Putin puppet.
	And she realized it.
	Oh, Kiev.
	That's a good catch.
	Can't be trusted.
	It's obscure.
	Yeah, but...
	But the parameters you gave me...
	Oh, were too vast.
	I agree.
	It was too vast.
	Very wide.
	She was blowing it left and right.
	So, I want to play one clip from my neighbor.
	Laura Logan, who I think was deplatformed just in time, because she knows war.
	There's a lot of things you can say about Laura Logan, but she has done some outstanding reporting from war-torn areas.
	Yeah, from real wars, not hanging out in Lviv reporting about the action someplace else.
	Thank you, by the way, Duke David Fugizotto.
	He sent some pictures from one of his trips to Lviv.
	Yes, he did.
	What a beautiful place.
	Beautiful.
	Oh, beautiful.
	So, Lara Logan is now on BitChute Podcast, but she did make it onto cable.
	You know, she was deplatformed for comparing Fauci to Goebbels.
	Okay.
	And that, oh, we can't do that.
	For whatever reason.
	She couldn't.
	She couldn't.
	And I think that she was annoying.
	She was making too much sense.
	She was making good long-form pieces on Fox Nation about what's really happening at the border.
	I think it was more about Afghanistan and what really happened there, that that reporting got her in trouble.
	Once again, her reporting got her in trouble with the networks.
	So she makes it on to Real America Voice.
	Wait a minute.
	Stop.
	Is she off Fox now?
	Yeah, oh yeah.
	She's fired, deplatformed, gone, done.
	Not even on Fox Nation, as far as I can tell.
	No archives, nothing.
	So the Laura Logan has no agenda is done?
	I believe so.
	I believe so, yeah.
	I thought it was still on their web.
	I'll look on their homepage and see.
	Well, she's available, so for you and I, it's interesting succession planning.
	Yeah, she'd get us both killed.
	LAUGHTER Finally, I can use this name.
	Now, Ukraine, you and I know, just historically and from doing this show for 15 years, we know that even though Lviv is beautiful, in general, what has been going on in Ukraine has been nothing but a hotbed of corruption, cyber activity, weapon smuggling, money laundering, drugs, human trafficking, hookers, assassins.
	It's probably one of the worst places in the world.
	I mean, and...
	CIA is all over that, particularly when it comes to weapon smuggling.
	And not even smuggling, it's just trafficking.
	It's just trafficking, which is why I question these 2,600 tank busters.
	Where are they?
	You can shoot 40 at each mile of the tanks, Nancy Pelosi.
	So I don't know where it is.
	And how come we're not seeing any stingers going off?
	They have them, don't they?
	Well, I heard one report, which is not being discussed, that the Russians are using their high-end Sukhovskis, what are those SU's planes, those super great fighters.
	Mm-hmm.
	And all the shots they're taking are from the other side of the border.
	Those things have such long range.
	No, they just hang out in Russia and just shoot from there.
	Yeah, they're all in Russia taking pot shots.
	Have you seen any visuals of a Russian jet?
	No, no, no, no.
	This is one of the problems I have.
	That's the reason.
	Well, then there's no reason for a no-fly zone if they're flying over their own country.
	No, there's no reason for that either.
	The whole thing is, it's like, I hate to say it, it's a scam.
	It's a scam, yeah.
	So, in 2014, and we just have short memories.
	I mean, you and I don't, although they're waning, but we remember.
	We have short memories too, but we have clips.
	Yes, we do.
	We have tons of clips to remind us.
	We have historical archive up the wall.
	To document everything that happened.
	And I'll just name it again.
	Victoria Nuland, Biden, Ban Ki-moon, Lindy Hop, Lady G, Lindsey Graham, John McCain, Amy Klobuchar, John Brennan, John Brennan, CIA. They were all over there for the Maidan.
	I got another picture.
	It wasn't donuts or cookies that Victoria Nuland was handing out on the square.
	It looks more like Danish.
	Yeah, either that or hockey pucks.
	Someone sent me a picture.
	I'm guessing the Ukrainians love a good Danish.
	So Laura gets on Real America Voice.
	And I don't want to be a dick or anything, but you might as well still be on a deplatformed channel if you're on Real America Voice.
	And the show is with Ed Henry.
	Remember Ed Henry?
	Isn't he an old foxhack?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	So I guess after he got removed or fired, or maybe this was a leg up for him.
	But the Real America voice, I don't think it's...
	If you can find it, it's on Pluto level.
	So that's where Laura gets to talk.
	And...
	I think it was on Pluto.
	I will say...
	That she has transformed herself.
	Tina doesn't agree with me.
	She thinks she still looks the same.
	I think she's really changed her appearance.
	She's got heavier eye makeup.
	She's got a lighter shade of lipstick.
	Her hair, I think, is a little blonder.
	She's had it done.
	I think that Tina would be more into noticing these subtleties than you.
	But wait, let me back up.
	Since you've been in show business, technically, Tina never has been.
	Maybe you're right.
	I think she's distracted by her boobs because that's the thing of Laura Logan.
	Like, that just doesn't change.
	You know, like, holy crap!
	Because she displays them and she makes jokes about it.
	She does.
	She makes jokes.
	Most women...
	Yeah, in front of visitors, though.
	They love to make jokes about them.
	In front of guests.
	I wasn't expecting it.
	Yeah, hey, look at the size of these things.
	Hey, look at these things.
	That's kind of the joke I'd make, but...
	So that makes her that much more endearing.
	Give me the name of that network again.
	Real America Voice.
	Real America's Voice.
	I think this is on Pluto.
	It's on Pluto.
	And I have seen it.
	Because I was looking for RT on Pluto and I ran into Real America's Voice.
	And it's pretty slick.
	Oh, no.
	I'm not saying it isn't any good.
	It just has no...
	I don't think it has any reach.
	I don't think people are watching it.
	Oh, it's zero reach, but they get money.
	And they have an outlet on Rumble, so that's where I picked this up.
	And...
	Rumble.
	It's even worse than Pluto.
	And I like this because, you know, she has credentials.
	She's been reporting from war zones, real violent wars, the ones we know of, for over three decades.
	And she has a lot of information and sources and friends, and her family is related to defense intelligence agencies.
	So she knows stuff.
	And when it comes to Nazis and historical knowledge...
	She has her story down.
	And I think it's important because this is the one thing that irks me when people tell me they're never listening to No Agenda again because we're propagating some bull crap about Nazis in Ukraine.
	That's ridiculous.
	Because, of course, we believe...
	I thought it was fairly well known.
	No, we sooner believe...
	If you want to really back it up and be a water carrier for Putin, why don't you do this?
	Say, hey...
	Remember World War II, the big one, World War II? Mm-hmm.
	Whose side was Russia on?
	They were on our side.
	Whose side was the Ukraine on?
	They were on Germany's side.
	Aha, aha.
	You see, this is hard for people to believe who don't know their history or have perhaps been instructed incorrectly.
	And certainly in the United States, people have a much easier time believing that there were Nazis in Charlottesville, Virginia, than there are in Ukraine.
	Because it's Ukraine!
	Come on, blue and yellow forever!
	But this has not gone as well as Vladimir Putin expected.
	I don't buy it for a second, Ed, I'll be honest with you.
	Have you been coaching her?
	Sorry, you've got to start it over.
	I didn't catch it that way.
	Listen to how she starts.
	But this has not gone as well as Vladimir Putin expected.
	I don't buy it for a second, Ed, I'll be honest with you.
	I really think that there's so much misinformation.
	We've never really seen anything like it.
	I mean, I've been covering wars now for 35 years, and I have never seen people with their nails done in the Ukrainian flag, right?
	I mean, we're being corralled into this box.
	Where we either have to hate Vladimir Putin and believe everything evil that's said about him and love Ukraine, and there's no in-between.
	You see such dishonesty when it comes to the history of Ukraine.
	You see dishonesty when it comes to the Azov Battalion, which is funded by the US and NATO. I mean, you can find pictures of them online holding up the NATO flag and the swastika at the same time.
	Their own emblem contains the black son of the occult, which was a Nazi SS emblem.
	And it also contains the sideways, you know, lightning insignia of the SS. I mean, this is on, throughout the Ukrainian military, you can see that black sign of the occult on their body armor, even on the female soldiers who are paraded in front of the world as being, you know, such an example of Ukraine's Independence and spirit and nobility.
	Even they are wearing the black son of the occult.
	And, you know, the White House wants you to believe, well, this doesn't matter.
	It's just a small number of troops.
	It's not true.
	The Azov Battalion has been murdering its way through eastern Ukraine.
	We don't want to admit this.
	This was why Crimea voted for independence.
	This is why Crimea wanted to be with Russia.
	Because we in the media, in the western media and in the west, Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	To the Nazis of Ukraine from the Nuremberg trials.
	So there's a long history of the United States and our intelligence agencies funding and arming Nazis in Ukraine.
	These are not like neo-Nazi groups that sprung up.
	These are the actual Nazis from the Second World War, who, if you go back to the Nuremberg trials, said that they were planning for a thousand-year life.
	And so you have to really wonder, as you look at this, when you know that the CIA sponsored the color revolution in Ukraine in 2013 and 2014, that they selected Ukraine's leaders, go to Victoria Nuland's leaked phone conversation, where she and the U.S. ambassador are deciding who can lead Ukraine.
	I mean, there's as much interference here as you could possibly imagine.
	She's underage.
	Not stopping.
	Wait, this last bit is good, because I think Ed's just supposed to interrupt her, and he's failing, but listen to where she goes at this last bit here.
	This is as much interference here as you could possibly imagine.
	Before we even get to Hunter Biden, Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry, and Mitt Romney, and all of their children who are employed, who are millions from Ukrainian gas companies.
	Yeah, John, I'm telling you, there is so much nastiness and corruption, and everyone has their hands in it.
	They cannot allow this...
	They can't allow any...
	You know what?
	My conspiracy brother from another mother, Moe, said yesterday to me, he says, could this be another Operation Paperclip where they're extracting people now?
	The Nazis?
	Like they did in the original version?
	Yeah, I don't think so.
	Um...
	There's definitely some entanglements, higher-ups like Romney.
	How about President Biden?
	And Biden, and Hunter Biden.
	Some entanglements.
	Some entanglements.
	And the New York Times has finally, after over a year, two years, they finally decided to acknowledge the Biden laptops.
	It's going to unravel.
	Well, here's the name.
	Here's the name.
	They're shredding documents and they're going to come out of this pretty, pretty clean.
	And I think some of that is what this is for.
	It might be a smoke screen.
	But the name you want to keep in mind is Ihor Kolomovsky.
	This is the oligarch who really owns everything.
	He owned Burisma, so he had the Bidens in his pocket.
	He financed the Azov Battalion, and he also owned the media company that employed the current president as an actor.
	And if you look at the direct staff for Zelensky, it's all like a writer, a director, all these people from his television shows.
	It's almost funny if it wasn't true.
	They have an actual comedy team in there working at the writer's table, everything.
	Well, Zelensky's pretty decent.
	He's very good.
	He played a president on TV. He knows what to do.
	And he's doing a pretty good job of it.
	My favorite thing is the clip I had where they said a couple of the senators were in tears.
	Yes, yes.
	And that guy from South Dakota's all bought in.
	Here's another clip.
	This is Thune.
	And this is another one of these guys that bought the whole act, hook, line, and thinker.
	Thinker.
	Thinker.
	Thun.
	Thun thinker.
	Thun.
	And Thun is like a jerk-off anyway, but listen to this.
	U.S. Senator John Thune says the Biden administration should support a transfer of MiG-29 fighter jets from Poland to Ukraine.
	It is the one thing President Zelensky has repeatedly asked us to do.
	Many of us are at a loss as to why the administration isn't taking that step.
	I know they're worried about escalation, but at this point, any weapon system that we can provide for Ukraine that enables them to deflect the Russian attacks is something we need to do.
	The administration is facing backlash about its refusal to approve the transfer, citing concerns Russia would see the move as a provocation.
	The U.S. is sending other weapons systems into the war zone.
	President Joe Biden announced almost $1 billion in new military assistance today in response to Zelensky's speech.
	What I couldn't get a hold of, but I heard once or twice that The military or maybe intelligence has noticed that the Russians have new evasive technology and, oh, this means we've got to go back to the drawing board.
	That's where you want your cash register sound again.
	Yeah.
	Oh, well, the Ruskies got something.
	We got to go back.
	Yeah, I need some money for that.
	We got to do some countermeasure.
	So we have Zelensky doing a good job acting, no doubt about it.
	Let's see how we're doing over here in the land that invented Hollywood.
	We had the White House bring in so-called TikTok influencers.
	Turns out they were from an ActBlue-sponsored group called Gen Z for Freedom or some bullcrap like that.
	For Democrats.
	Right.
	And let's, I mean, so, you know, when you're doing a TikTok video as an influencer, there's a certain style that you may have music in there, you do the jump cuts, but you have to look more than just cute.
	And here's an example of one of their fine influencers.
	You don't even just know she looks cute and she keeps every jump cut.
	Her hair is on the different side.
	She's pushed it back.
	It's over her eyes.
	So she's doing all that right, but it sucks.
	Why is gas so expensive and why is the United States inflation rate at a four time decade high?
	I had the opportunity to ask the White House why gas down the street is seven dollars and here's what they said.
	The obvious reason we're getting out of a two-year pandemic, when use goes up, price goes up.
	But the call is predominantly about Ukraine and Russia, so how does that relate?
	Russia is one of the top three producers of oil and it is actually their number one revenue source.
	Now, with Putin starting this horrific fight between Ukraine and Russia, nobody wants to work with him and do an international trade.
	So, with people being scared of war and limited resources, prices are bound to go up as well.
	For the people who can't pay $7 for a gallon of gas, there's an app called Gas Buddy that shows you the cheapest gas near you.
	As well as a link in my bio to donate to the misplaced refugees of Ukraine.
	John, I don't care who's on the right side of history.
	As patriots, we need to bring the Curry-Dvorak Consulting Group to the White House and get them into shape.
	This is embarrassing.
	It was terrible.
	I saw that clip.
	For one thing...
	How about the most important thing you can do, which is at least make it so you can hear it.
	I can barely understand what she said.
	She sounds like she's in a bucket.
	You're using a cheap shotgun mic on the camera.
	No, not even.
	It's just the phone propped up against some books.
	Oh, okay.
	Wow.
	No light ring.
	No light ring.
	I mean...
	Influencers have gear.
	The light rings are getting to bother me.
	There's better ways to go.
	How much are you watching?
	Every time it reflects in their eyes, you see these two giant rings in the middle of their eyes.
	You're going, my God, it's an alien!
	Those light rings are no good.
	I think you need to temper your watching.
	You're watching too much TikTok.
	I rarely watch TikTok, but I did see this piece because I followed the Jen Psaki, the memo, the meeting.
	They had a big meeting.
	I think I said a link to the No Agenda social site of the meeting, the minutes of the meeting.
	And again, it was Jen Psaki.
	Who were the main presenters?
	Jen Psaki.
	And a representative of the National Security Council, the people who actually run this country.
	Well, they suck.
	They're not doing it right.
	They do a lot.
	But that's because they're not elected.
	They don't have the...
	No, they're not professionals.
	They're just not professionals.
	They're just a bunch of bureaucrats.
	They got a bunch of Vinmans.
	It's Vinman that's running this country.
	Or a Vindman type person is becoming very problematic and somebody's going to have to think about it.
	Oh, you use the problematic word.
	Oh, boy.
	I don't use it often, do I? No, you don't.
	Because every time I do, I get slammed.
	So here's what I have a baffling clip for you.
	But wait, let's get back to this woman.
	She's got a nice, tight, small waist, which is attractive.
	You're talking still about the influencer?
	Okay, yes.
	She's poorly mic'd.
	What does it do?
	If you're going to put these people on the air, acting classes.
	I just like you saying, let's get back to this woman.
	Let's get back to important shit here.
	Let's get back to talking about her waist.
	Okay, John.
	She has a nice waist, I had to say.
	The hair flipping was fantastic.
	She had that part down.
	She knows what to do.
	I'm looking at the nice waist.
	I'm looking at the hair, as I would expect.
	All right.
	Let's listen to...
	Luckily, we're able to find a clip of this from India, because I've been trying to find a clip of it instead of just reading what happened.
	This is Facebook...
	The safe harbor against hate and hate speech changing the rules.
	Let's now shift our attention to the other big story that we are tracking on Vyond, where the US tech giant Facebook has joined the bandwagon to isolate Russia.
	Facebook has changed its policy on the violent hate speech against the Russian invaders, and the statement follows a report.
	It has said that Facebook will not restrict calls for violence against Russians and Russian soldiers in some select countries.
	Facebook's parent company, Meta, has said that the political expressions that would normally violate the rules will be allowed, but the company has said that calls for violence against civilians will not be permitted.
	Reports also show that Meta will allow the support of the Ukrainian neo-Nazi group, Azov Battalion, in the context of the Ukrainian invasion.
	The Azov Battalion was listed as a dangerous organization by Facebook in 2016.
	The ease in restrictions will be allowed, mostly in ex-Soviet republics like Poland, Latvia, Romania, Slovakia, Ukraine and even Russia.
	But Facebook did not comment on the policies In the meantime, Facebook has started to climb down on the Russian claims.
	Facebook took down the Russian post on the hospital bombing in Mariupol, which said that the maternity house was non-operational and was used by the Ukrainian army.
	Twitter has also removed Russia's tweet claiming the same.
	Ukraine's digital minister said that Kiev is in fact seeking support from around 50 tech firms in a bid to try and raise awareness against Russia's continued assault on Ukraine.
	I just love that hate speech against Russian soldiers and Russians is now okay.
	It's permitted.
	It's funny that you can find that clip, because I knew about the story, but I never found a clip.
	Impossible to find a clip, and again, I will give the props to Mo in this case.
	He found the clip.
	In India.
	In India.
	God.
	Yeah.
	Now, it's just...
	That is weaponization of a social network.
	There's just no other way to look at it.
	And I'm surprised that this is...
	Yeah, it might account for the fact that the Facebook stock is down from $400 to $199.
	Hello, Facebook, wake up!
	No, no!
	They're doing their shareholders no favors.
	They're doing their patriotic duty.
	What are you talking about?
	They're doing a great job.
	They're patriotic duty.
	They don't know what they're doing.
	Now, you talked about it in the newsletter, and I'm not going to play the whole bit, but I do feel it's important.
	Not everybody has seen the idiocy of The View, which also just needs to be discussed briefly because they're bringing about ideas that are, in my opinion, completely un-American and...
	Inhumane and just dick, dickish, dickish.
	And so they're singling out, this is all part of the cancellation of Russia, they're singling out Tulsi Gabbard and Tucker Carlson, and they have ideas.
	This is Anna Navarro, who is the Republican strategist, she's kind of a Mitt Romney Republican, and Whoopi Goldberg.
	But I think that's an incredibly relevant question.
	And I think DOJ, in the same way that it is setting up a task force to investigate oligarchs, should look into people who are Russian propagandists and shilling for Putin.
	That's being, if you are a foreign asset to a dictator, it should be investigated.
	In fact, I remember when Tulsi Gabbard And I even hate that we're discussing it because I think to myself, who is this woman?
	She's a, you know, she's no longer in Congress.
	She's a failed presidential candidate.
	She only practically exists on Twitter.
	Way to go supporting other women.
	And the fact that we're giving her oxygen is what makes her relevant.
	That we're talking about her on hot topics.
	But on the other hand, how do you not call out something that is repeating false Russian propaganda that has been brought down?
	They used to arrest people for doing stuff like this.
	Yeah.
	If they thought you were colluding with a Russian agent, if they thought you were putting out information or taking information and handing over to Russia, they used to actually investigate stuff like this.
	And I guess now, you know, there seems to be no bars.
	And people are not being told to hate Putin.
	Putin doesn't need a reason to be hated.
	It's pretty much clear.
	He started a war.
	He started an unnecessary war.
	Now, it is my opinion that this is purposeful.
	This is putting Hollywood and all media on notice.
	Red Scare, wasn't it called the Red Scare?
	Back when we were all looking around for commies in Hollywood?
	Every bit, yeah.
	And by the way, when Whoopi says that it used to be illegal to take something and then give it to the Russians, yeah.
	If you were a spy working in the CIA and you took documents and gave them to the Russians, yeah, that was illegal.
	That's not what Tulsi Gabbard did.
	By the way, I have a different take on this when you're finished.
	Well, my take is that...
	Again, they don't know their history.
	I believe, I could be wrong, that the rooting out of the commies in Hollywood is a black page in the history book of Hollywood.
	Isn't that deemed as like, wow, we really were assholes back then and we shouldn't do that?
	Or am I mistaken?
	No, you're not mistaken at all.
	I'm just musing over the use of the term black page.
	I know.
	I don't know why.
	It's a metaphor of some sort.
	It's good, right?
	We'll just keep it.
	It is now.
	What's your take?
	My take is the thought.
	This is an offbeat take.
	I think Tulsi is a world global leader.
	And she's a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
	And I think she's off the reservation and they're punishing her.
	Ooh.
	So she's really genuine.
	Because knowing she's a world economic forum global massager worries me.
	I mean, it's like you can't trust anyone who is like that and is so happy to receive that award.
	There's a number of people you basically can't trust.
	You can't trust them.
	You can't trust Rhodes Scholars.
	No.
	You can't trust the other one, which is the Council on Foreign Relations.
	Yeah.
	Which is a lot of people.
	These are all globalists.
	And I think she's off the reservation and they are punishing her.
	Hmm.
	That could be.
	Because if Tucker Carlson played the clip that they're critical of, and all she's doing is bitching and moaning about the bio labs, it's got nothing to do with anything.
	No, which is more of a military story, which is appropriate for her.
	Yeah.
	So there's something fishy.
	I've been looking at this cancellation of Russia, and it kind of goes along with the theme, which is, you know, everyone's afraid to be honest.
	There's virtue signaling.
	You're going to get canceled if you're not on board with it, if Halo Media...
	You better not say anything positive about Putin because he started a war.
	So if you talk positive about anyone who started a war, except of course for our guys, you're going to be investigated.
	You should be arrested.
	You should go to jail.
	You should be considered a Russian asset.
	So that's the message there.
	But why are all these companies, why did they in such quick succession just pull out of Russia?
	And I'm not talking about just divestiture from Russian oil, all the big oil companies.
	Oh, we're taking our money out.
	We're not going to do anything there.
	Oh, we're going away.
	But then you get Starbucks, McDonald's.
	It's like...
	Well, McDonald's just closed.
	They didn't really pull out that I knew.
	Correct, correct.
	But they closed 850...
	Restaurants.
	You have to understand, no matter what country you're in, McDonald's are an important part of poor communities.
	It's where poor people and working poor work.
	It's where many of them and their families eat.
	There's a reason why the globalists left McDonald's and all the fast food crap open during the lockdown.
	They didn't want to kill everybody just yet.
	So as it turns out...
	There's a guy who is behind this.
	And it's not just any guy.
	It's a professor from Yale.
	His name is Jeffrey Sonnefeld.
	You've probably seen him because he has advised thousands of CEOs, multiple presidents at the Yale School of Management.
	Is this an ESG thing, a DIE thing, or one of those deals?
	All of the things you can imagine.
	All of them.
	All of the above.
	And what he's doing is he's going on CNBC, he's doing every interview he can to get this list of over 400 companies to remove their business from Russia.
	And the list is in the show notes.
	It's even Eurovision.
	The Eurovision Song Contest, no, ban, you can't participate.
	Formula One, no, no, no, can't participate.
	No Formula One.
	International Olympic Committee, of course, we expected that.
	All of the airlines, you know, I'll just go through.
	OneWeb, Netscout, Netflix, Nasdaq, Rolex, Roku, Sabre, Savile, Shell.
	I mean, it goes on and on and on.
	And this guy is out there shaming these companies into doing this, including Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola, of course, had to follow up.
	And I caught a little piece of an interview with him where they were discussing the McDonald's and we can stop whenever we want.
	But just, this guy is, he's an operative.
	And yes, it's the DEIA, it's the ESG, it's all this stuff that he shamed these companies into shutting down under the guise of, well look, If the economy's bad, then they'll vote Putin out.
	Let's start with McDonald's, Jeffrey.
	You say in your latest column in Fortune, I think today, you actually say it's disappointing that McDonald's has chosen to remain in Russia.
	Why do you feel that way?
	In particular because if they were to pull out, obviously thousands of jobs would be lost by Russians who conceivably are not responsible for the actions of the autocrat who's running there.
	What's this?
	Compassion?
	You know, you hear that same explanation by many responsible employers, Western employers, but employers from all around the world, and that's not the right answer.
	That's not the primary concern.
	You see this nonsense, well, this unconvincing statement that Tom Friedman had had years ago saying in the New York Times that no two countries with a McDonald's have ever had a war with each other.
	Of course, the meltdown of Yugoslavia and places all throughout Africa, we saw that was just absolutely not true.
	The spirit of that, though, was that Western business would somehow have this effect to bring peace to the world between neighboring nations.
	That's just not true.
	And McDonald's is the perfect illustration.
	You've got a few hundred of them in Ukraine that, of course, have been shut down.
	McDonald's shut them down in Ukraine and didn't shut them down in Russia.
	Oh, no!
	That's amazing.
	And unlike the other casual dining restaurants, as you pointed out, David, they have the ownership, they direct the ownership of 85% of those restaurants, so they could do it.
	Employment?
	The idea of these sanctions is to put pain onto the economy.
	Listen to the glee he takes in bringing pain to the Russian people who work at McDonald's.
	They have the ownership, they direct the ownership of 85% of those restaurants, so they could do it.
	Employment?
	The idea of these sanctions is to put pain onto the economy.
	We're not trying to figure out how to advance the Russian economy right now.
	It is for the general population to feel enough distress that the economy fails and the government fails.
	That's the point of these sanctions and the point of these issues.
	I mean, this guy is...
	Give me his name again.
	Jeffrey Sonnenfeld.
	S-O-N-N-E-N-F-E-L-D. You want to hear a little more?
	S-O-N-N-F-E-L-D. This is interesting.
	This is deplatforming at industrial scale.
	You want to hear more?
	You know what this also is a little bit like?
	This reminds me of the shakedowns of the Jesse Jackson operation.
	Yes!
	Yes!
	Only this is high end.
	Yeah, it's classy.
	It's Yale, baby.
	I can't say that Jesse Jackson...
	And this rainbow coalition, whatever the hell it was, was not high-end.
	It was just not presented intellectually.
	Yeah, this is presented, I mean, totally with laughing and everything.
	And then he says, no, the point is to bring pain upon the economy.
	You see, people are just the faceless economy.
	It's not the people.
	But what is this guy's endgame?
	Is he just working for the CIA, you think?
	He's part of the system.
	He's the CEO whisperer.
	There's a little bit more to this.
	He's the CEO whisperer.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yale, John.
	How many...
	Yale.
	Have you heard Yale?
	Yale.
	Yale.
	Skull and Bones.
	It's also Skull and Bones 322.
	Look at the nude pictures.
	Yeah.
	Well, would you not agree, though, that those companies that have a much more significant presence on the ground in Russia have a more difficult decision to make, or you simply think across the board, that's it.
	You've got to get out?
	Also, when you think about it, the financial weaponry is what they use these days.
	That's what they go after Trump with.
	Legal and financial.
	Legal and financial.
	Let's get the finance.
	Get the finance.
	Get him on his taxes.
	Finance.
	That's the weapons they employ.
	If so, why?
	Why?
	I've been hearing that, as you have too, since the war broke out.
	And we've already seen the number of companies triple since Thursday.
	And as the article I have out in Fortune right now, I had to keep revising it because of the numbers of companies that realized that as they look at the trade-offs here...
	It's significant.
	You have more than 75% of the population, almost 80% of the population, according to Morning Consul's overnight studies, tell us that they support these sanctions and support the embargoes.
	And that doesn't break out by Democrats or Republicans.
	They're identical in independents.
	There's nothing that unifies this nation so much.
	The blowback from employees is significant, from consumers in the West.
	But also what matters is this is the whole idea of these kind of sanctions, these economic blockades, and that's what worked in South Africa.
	When 200 companies pulled out in South Africa in the late 1980s, it made a difference, and that was working hand-in-hand with government sanctions.
	The government alone weren't enough.
	But when Nikolai Ceausescu steps down in Romania or when Eric, you know, the leader of East Germany, Hanukkah, stepped down, it was because the economy failed.
	The economy failed.
	And that's also what happened previously in Russia.
	That's what leads to a change of leadership.
	CIA.
	Putin is anchored in fear and coercion.
	As that crumbles, then he becomes vulnerable because there's no other exit here.
	So the loyalty of employers to their workers is honorable.
	But on the list of the hierarchy of responsibilities, that's not number one, number two, number 20.
	They need to focus right now on the peace in the world.
	And they're protecting those employees from not suffering violence right now.
	They're actually protecting the employees from violence.
	Don't you understand?
	They're good.
	Yeah, this is really a dynamite CIA idea.
	They've taken, I hate to put it this way, although they've been pulling this stuff for a long time.
	Yeah, but this is well-coordinated and out front.
	And I guess now they're taking credit for Ceaușescu, which they did in that little thing there, which is, I mean, you know, the thing about them, they always discuss, well, you know, you're going to be doing good work for people and you're not going to get any credit.
	We don't like to brag about what we do.
	But then you get a guy like this, and he's sitting there bragging about what they do.
	Because he's an operative.
	Yeah, but he's not, you know, the idea is you're not supposed to be...
	You're not supposed to be giving it away to two goofballs who do a podcast.
	Believe me, the guy is at dinner party saying, yeah, you know, I work with the intelligence community.
	Yeah.
	So this is like a giveaway.
	Mm-hmm.
	But...
	Did Jesse...
	You know, I wonder how much they take when they watch a guy like Jesse Jackson or a Sharpton operate and go, you know, these guys are pretty good.
	What do you mean?
	The CIA and FBI taught Jesse Jackson how to blackmail.
	You got the wrong way around.
	Oh, yeah, you're right.
	Come on, these guys know what they're doing.
	Now...
	I was watching, as I usually do on Thursday morning, I was watching the latest episode of Super Yacht News.
	I saw that once.
	Did you see Super Yacht News this week?
	So, the Lloyd's Register and the DNV have withdrawn services to all Russian ships.
	So, the Lloyd's Register is a classification society and is best known for the classification and certification of ships, And inspects and improves important components and accessories.
	So that's what they do.
	The DMV is another classification society, which actually has a greater piece of the pie when it comes to Russian ships.
	However, Lloyd's is possibly the largest in the superyacht industry.
	Now, what is classification?
	The classification allows the vessel to show to underwriters and insurance that the vessel is in good order.
	So without the certification, the vessel has effectively been decertified, which means they are no longer in compliance, and therefore their insurance is invalid.
	You know, everyone can smile and laugh.
	Ha ha, this is happening.
	I agree, I know where you're going, and I agree 100%.
	This is the worst direction to take things.
	Wait until progressive doesn't like you, and that stupid lizard.
	And they say, nah, I'm sorry, you know, it's like you don't have certification from the government or anybody, so no insurance for you, no driving, no home insurance, sorry, no mortgage.
	Yeah, you can't, there's like the meme that I didn't use in the last newsletter, but it's coming, which is the girls giving somebody's credit card back.
	I'm sorry, we can't take your credit card because of your political views.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	That's where it's headed.
	Yeah, but people are laughing about this.
	This is a huge mistake.
	Yes, and the financial deplatforming, this is not okay.
	This is not okay.
	And how strong will you be when the Yale professor comes to shut down your business and says, you know, you don't want anyone to see you as a Putin lover, do you?
	Because I write for Forbes magazine, I show up at CNBC, you know, could be kind of nasty.
	We are turning into Ukraine.
	Oh, wow.
	That was a deep thought.
	It was a good one.
	Let's talk about the energy for a second.
	This is also part of the cancellation of Russia, and this is now what is being, it's all Putin's fault.
	That's why, of course, gas prices are up.
	Well, before we drift too far, I still want to stick.
	I do have a few clips.
	Oh, sure.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	I did not realize.
	I would love to stick with you.
	I want to get back to the weapons.
	Oh, okay.
	I want to go back to the weapons sob stories because this idea that this guy comes over here, or doesn't come over here, but gets on Zoom and Nixon, you know, he's crying about weapons and we're just giving them whatever they want while we don't even fix the potholes on Highway 80.
	You know, all the comparisons, John.
	Most people talk about our own border, but yes, you go straight for the potholes.
	Yeah, the border, another good example.
	Potholes first.
	Well, potholes are the ones you drive over.
	Yes, I hear you.
	I don't drive over people coming across the border.
	Okay, let's go to more weapons sob story from NPR. Oh, goodness.
	A U.S. military official says the U.S. is sending weapons to Ukraine at a rapid pace and will soon start shipping additional arms authorized by President Biden.
	NPR's Greg Myrie notes the new weapons package will include drones.
	President Biden says the U.S. will send arms that Ukraine is already using effectively, such as Javelin missiles that take out Russian tanks and Stinger missiles that bring down Russian aircraft.
	The U.S. had not been providing drones, but 100 will be included in the new package.
	The senior defense official declined to say when the new military aid would reach Ukraine, but noted that the U.S. has stepped up efforts by sending hundreds of millions of dollars of weaponry since Russia invaded three weeks ago.
	Also, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is in Europe, urging NATO allies to provide more assistance to Ukraine as well.
	The weapons announcement came after an impassioned video address before members of the U.S. accomplished today by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy Zelensky evoked memories of Pearl Harbor and September 11th terror attacks and calling for the U.S. to increase aid to his country.
	There it is.
	You wonder after the Zelensky things are over, he turns around, there's his aides, his buddies, his directors, and his friends from that same production company, and they all do high-five.
	Yeah, nailed it, bro.
	I'm sure they do.
	Nailed it.
	Volod.
	Volod.
	You ever notice the various pronunciations of his name?
	It's the same derivation of the same word of Vladimir as Vladimir.
	But the pronunciation is getting more extreme.
	I can't even do it.
	No, it's part of the Kiev meme.
	You've got to pronounce everything right.
	Remember Afghanistan?
	Iran?
	Remember Iran and Iraq?
	It wasn't Iran and Iraq.
	If you were read in, it was Iran.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Okay, part two of this.
	Hold on a second.
	I should have had that queued up.
	Well, how has President Biden responded so far to this pressure to do more?
	Just hours after the speech, President Biden announced $800 million in additional security assistance.
	And he said more was coming.
	Yeah.
	He talked about the systems that the U.S. would be sending, long-range missiles, drones, small arms, all to equip the Ukraine military.
	But he also appeared to be setting expectations for the American people that this conflict could go on for a while.
	Here's President Biden.
	I want to be honest with you.
	This could be a long and difficult battle.
	He also said the president would be sending humanitarian aid to both those in Ukraine and the millions who fled to neighboring countries and stressed he's still working with allies to isolate President Putin.
	Well, it's just like, sounds like the money grab to me and it sounds like this.
	Now, ever since you brought the idea of the CIA's kind of maybe just, we're just moving weapons over there to be redistributed elsewhere.
	Where are they?
	I see.
	Because I, yeah, there's all those, there's 40 miles of tanks.
	They could use those anti-tank tanks and just blow them up one at a time.
	I see videos of people being instructed how to use them, but this is not new.
	We've been sending stingers, etc., over for a while.
	Didn't we send it over during Trump as well?
	Wasn't that part of the whole phone call business?
	Yes, it was, as a matter of fact.
	And the other thing that was interesting is that Obama refused to send him stuff.
	Now, here's the thought.
	Why was Obama refusing to send him stuff?
	He knew something.
	Oh, because they were setting stuff up and somebody wasn't cooperative.
	Just like Joe Biden.
	Hey, hey, hey, you better get rid of that prosecutor.
	I'm not going to give you a billion dollars.
	Come on, man.
	We're a crime-ridden government organization here.
	Crime-ridden.
	I had a thought.
	I can't remember.
	I'm sorry I said that.
	I really don't remember.
	Okay, the clip ended and you wanted me to conclude something and then I don't know what I said either.
	Was he sending humanitarian aid to both those in Ukraine and the millions who fled to neighboring countries?
	Oh yeah, I was going to say that Maybe part of the problem with the Trump phone call is that they know Zelensky is owned by this gas oligarch in Ukraine, the whole media company that he worked for.
	Maybe there was worry there that this is an even better media guy.
	Trump knows what he's doing.
	He could give him a different script.
	He knows how to get actors to work for him.
	Can you think about it?
	Playing to ego, man.
	That works with those cats.
	Let's just step back on that just for one second and just one point.
	What was the point of going after Trump for that phone call?
	He made a big deal about it and it was that same National Security Council with Vindman and all these other guys.
	It was nothing in that phone call that was anything remotely impeachable.
	What was the point?
	It must have been something we don't know about.
	Too buddy-buddy, I think.
	It was too buddy-buddy.
	They're like, this guy is weak because Zelensky is weak.
	He'll take instructions from anybody and Trump might give him a better deal.
	He's an actor.
	Actors are horrors.
	That's just my version of it.
	Well, you would know.
	Yes, correct.
	Correct.
	You got any more on the weapons?
	I got more of the stuff, but I do have this old clip I wanted to play because NPR is just so in on this.
	It's kind of pathetic.
	I want you to play this one.
	This is Ukraine Carpet Bombing.
	Ukraine Carpet Bombing?
	Russian forces are pounding the Ukrainian port city of Hyupol, shelling its downtown as residents hide.
	Fighting also raged in the outskirts of the capital, Kyiv, as Ukraine accuses Moscow of targeting civilians fleeing the fighting.
	And here's Lauren Frayer has more from western Ukraine.
	Is that in the style guide, do you think, this incessant use of pounding?
	It's kind of sexual.
	I have a column I'm going to write about these terms.
	These are all propaganda terms.
	Yes.
	Pounding, lashing out is one of my favorites.
	Pounding, pounding, pounding.
	Prayer has more from Western Ukraine.
	Ukraine's intelligence service says seven civilians, including women and one child, NPR could not verify the incident.
	And has accused Ukrainian fighters of taking up positions in residential areas, even hospitals.
	But Ukraine says it's lost more civilians than soldiers in this war.
	In a video posted to social media, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tried what he called the carpet bombing of Ukraine and accused Russia of trying to, quote, destroy all of us.
	Yeah, the propaganda is so heavy here.
	They used the term carpet bombing in there.
	Did you hear that?
	Oh, yeah.
	Carpet bombing.
	Supposedly, they've used cluster bombs, and I think that's been documented.
	But carpet bombing is not the same.
	That's Vietnam-level shit, right?
	That's carpet bombing.
	We've done it in Vietnam, and there's images of it.
	Carpet bombing is flattening an area completely, and it's like taking, it's just beyond rubbleizing.
	It's rubbleizing and then, you know, plowing and fertilizing and growing plants there.
	I mean, it's a massive amount of bombing that takes place, and it just will flatten, you know, square miles.
	What?
	That's not going on.
	Why do they use that term?
	They've misused the term.
	It's so annoying to see them cut live, and every single channel does this, does this.
	We're going to cut to Bill, our man, who's in Ukraine.
	Of course, he's in Lviv.
	Where we had incredible bombs just hitting the capital, Kiev.
	And then you see some YouTube TikTok video to the left, in which some cases have been identified as actual Beirut video, but okay.
	And then the guy is there.
	It's three in the morning.
	It's completely quiet.
	And he's like, well, yeah, it was really bad.
	Pounding.
	It never happens when they're live.
	It's just noticeable.
	Remember in the...
	Before our show, that's over 15 years ago, when they were doing the...
	One of the...
	It was a rock.
	It wasn't a rock.
	What was it?
	It was where you had the scud stud.
	No, this was...
	That was before that.
	That was way back.
	Yeah, that was way back.
	It was on CNN and they had this couple of different guys.
	That's when Wolf Blitzer's hair wasn't gray and they had the Scud stud and he was standing outside with a helmet on and he's ducking, he's ducking and there's bombs going off and he's ducking left and right and moving.
	Yeah.
	They don't have anything like that.
	No, there's no action.
	I mean, again...
	There's no action.
	Curry and Dvorak Consulting Group boots on the ground.
	Now, all of this propaganda, and of course there is misery.
	They're now talking about 3 million refugees.
	I don't know if that's true.
	I don't know how big this number is.
	I believe it's true.
	I believe the number is true.
	That is what gets very little focus.
	It's just, yeah, some refugees.
	We'll send some aid.
	3 million people displaced moving throughout Europe.
	I mean, that is the real tragedy.
	And so one of our, like, a listener, long-time listener, turns out he's, I think he's Ukrainian.
	His mom was in Ukraine.
	And he laid into me one of those, you know, you're an asshole carrying water for pooping.
	Can't believe it.
	You know, you're a horrible person.
	I'll never listen again.
	I've been with you from the beginning.
	This show stinks now.
	I know.
	He has been, like, daily source code days.
	And so, you know, and I decided, this guy's been around for a long time.
	Let me engage with him.
	So I emailed back and forth.
	Yeah, talk him down.
	Well, I wanted to see what was going on now.
	So then it turns out his mother had to evacuate.
	And, you know, and so we went back and forth.
	And, you know, he did agree about the Nazis.
	And we kind of came closer together, which is, you know, a three email exchange.
	And then we left it at, okay, we disagree on some things, but hey, man, we're okay and we should be able to disagree.
	But the disagreement is where he ends by saying the only way to solve this is to blow up and kill everything in Russia.
	And that's heavy-ass propaganda.
	It's not just Putin.
	It's like the CDC is this faceless thing that does stuff, and Putin does all this other stuff.
	I don't think it's only Putin that makes that country work.
	And just to say, let's just kill everybody, let's just annihilate it.
	There's a lot of hatred.
	Yes, and it's encouraged on Facebook, so that's probably helping.
	I would say that the level of hatred is created by the media.
	But people don't realize it.
	Facebook's media.
	Yeah, I think that they don't stop and realize what they're really saying.
	No, they don't care.
	Because, you know, certainly now more than ever...
	Sells papers, sells advertising, advertising works.
	Yeah, military-industrial complex needs more.
	We get to sell more, we get to build more bombs.
	People hate each other.
	What difference does it make to me?
	So let's get to the energy part, because that is the most interesting to me, mainly in light of the petrodollar being killed already by the Green New Deal.
	I mean, if you don't have a dollar, if you're not using petrochemicals, if you're not using oil, and it's priced in dollars because you're using some electrical magic source, Then the petrodollar doesn't make a lot of sense.
	So the Green New Deal is already, in that regard, you could say unpatriotic and un-American because it's intended to weaken the dollar.
	And then we bring in this energy crisis, which I think is temporarily, we have a little bit of relief because China will not be using any energy for the next week or so because of their COVID lockdown.
	Coincidental.
	But whatever you do, you better be on board with our deplatforming and cancellation of Russia, and that includes their oil suckers.
	There's been a report yesterday about the possibility that India could take up the Russian offer of discounted crude oil.
	What would be your message to India or any other country tempted by such an offer?
	Well, our message to any country continues to be that, obviously, abide by the sanctions, but that we have put in place and recommended.
	I don't believe this would be violating that, but also think about where you want to stand when the history books are written in this moment in time, and support for the Russian leadership is support for an invasion that obviously is having a devastating impact.
	Another threat, you know.
	Oh, you want to be on the wrong side of history when the books are written.
	Which we write, by the way.
	We write the books.
	So this has the obvious result.
	Police across the country are reporting more gas thefts.
	Police near Houston say thieves pulled up in trucks, some containing large storage tanks and stole about $8,000 in gas after somehow unlocking the tanks.
	Just days earlier, a different gas station in Houston had 1,000 gallons of diesel stolen from an underground tank by thieves in a van equipped with a pump and a trap door.
	I'm telling you.
	We are now becoming Ukraine.
	They wanted it.
	That's very Ukraine-like.
	It's actually old Russia-like, too.
	But, yeah, they set up these big vans with a trapdoor at the bottom, and they drive into a gas station.
	And they drive over the opening where the trucks come to put the gasoline in, and they pull off the little top, which you can do.
	You can see these things.
	at every gas station and they lift off the top and stick a hose down there and pump it out into another tank yeah and then they put it back and leave and then when they do inventory i say what happened to 500 gallons of gasoline again all these things that no one thought through you know just like mass we didn't think through the implication for children's development or comprehension skills or speech abilities no we didn't think through any of that and We don't think through these things.
	Or is it all on purpose?
	That would be more logical to me.
	It would be less logical to me, considering if you look at the people that run the National Security Council, which runs this country, they're a bunch of dumb shits.
	No offense.
	And Rebecca, we mentioned the cost of oil falling.
	What does that mean for gas prices?
	Oil falling.
	We are seeing it reflected already at the pumps.
	Overnight, prices have fallen about two cents a gallon.
	Yesterday, 432.
	Today, it's about 430.
	National average prices are still incredibly high.
	And GasBuddy and AAA both predict that as quickly as prices rose, you're not going to see them decline as quickly.
	But you will, according to GasBuddy, in the next couple of weeks, see gas prices Now, do you notice something here?
	Remember the TikTok lady?
	Yeah, Gas Buddy.
	Gas Buddy is in on the game.
	According to Gas Buddy, in the next couple of weeks, see gas prices drop below $4 a gallon if oil prices stay where they are, below $100 a barrel.
	But you're also seeing the ripple effects of this in the economy elsewhere.
	Amy, overnight, the last couple of days, Delta has mentioned that they will be hiking prices on some of their flights because they're paying so much more for fuel.
	Amy?
	So again, I think this temporary dip in oil prices is just because China said, we're shut down for a bit.
	But the weird thing is the Wall Street Journal reported that That Saudi Arabia, the keystone of the petrodollar idea, which was, hey, you Bedouin camel farmers, we're going to make you rich.
	All you have to do is sell it in dollars.
	That's all we care about.
	And we'll protect you with these guns.
	And shit, we'll kill anybody else you want by proxy.
	You don't like Iran, we'll kill people in Yemen with our advisors.
	Saudi Arabia, according to the Wall Street Journal, is now considering pricing oil In Juan.
	Yeah.
	Well, isn't that kind of the end of the petrodollar?
	This has been tried and tried and tried.
	This is just another attempt.
	You wouldn't say it was the end of the petrodollar when Gaddafi came up with this crazy idea for petrogold or whatever the hell it was.
	No, it was, except he got killed.
	So we fixed it.
	So what do we do now?
	We'll fix it.
	Let me tell you how we seem to be fixing it.
	We seem to be discussing plea bargains for September 11th defendants to let them out.
	That's how stupid we are.
	Whatever you have to do to fix it.
	Instead of flying over and saying, hey, see this jet?
	I'm going to kick your ass.
	This is why I think it's intentional, John.
	There's no one that's that stupid.
	Now, this is funny you say this, because you take both sides of the argument when it's convenient to you.
	What do you mean?
	I said the other day on one of the shows, I said, well, you know, the public's not that stupid.
	And you went, yes, they're stupid.
	And you went on and on about how everybody's so dumb.
	And now everybody's so smart.
	I didn't say the public.
	I said the people running this show.
	Yeah, but these people come from the public.
	No, that's very different.
	The public is different.
	I'm talking about...
	I will say this.
	You're calling me two-faced.
	Careful, Dvorak.
	I'm not saying you're two-faced.
	I'm saying you're a convenience seeker.
	You seek the convenience of a change in your argument to satisfy your immediate needs.
	Wow, what you say ben jezelf met je kop door de helft.
	Yeah.
	I'm not that way.
	You said, you factually misstated that I said this about...
	I'm talking about the politicians.
	Let me just say that I think you're wrong.
	These guys don't scheme that well.
	I think they'd like to.
	I think there are schemes afoot, and we uncover most of them, but I don't think this is one of them.
	Okay.
	Let's see what's happening with China then.
	Well tonight the other big headline involves China.
	U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan confronted his Chinese counterpart over Putin's request of China for military and economic assistance.
	Now I will, I'm going to put a disclaimer out there.
	The problem we have right now is that we have probably the stupidest administration that we'll see maybe in our lifetimes.
	I can't imagine it being any dumber in the future with a president who's a senile and a vice president who's really in over her head and is a nervous wreck.
	And they're both probably on drugs of different sorts.
	She's stoned and God knows what they've given him.
	And as an aside, there were some clips from the guys who produced that Ukraine thing with Oliver Stone saying that Zelensky is on coke.
	Yes.
	Did you get the clip?
	Did you get the clip of that?
	I didn't get the clip of it.
	My clips ran out of clips.
	Well, tonight the other big headline involves China.
	U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan confronted his Chinese counterpart over Putin's request of China for military and economic assistance.
	For more on this, let's bring in CBS News Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent and Face the Nation moderator, Margaret Brennan.
	So, Margaret, I mean, this would mark a dramatic escalation.
	We know that the Russians are struggling, so what do they want?
	Well, Nora, we know the Russians have asked the Chinese for armed drones, in part because they've seen how effective they can be on the battlefield.
	The Ukrainians are flying Turkish-made drones, and they have taken out Russian tanks in that miles-long convoy outside of Kyiv.
	In addition, a Western official, I should say, told me the Russians are seeking armored vehicles, ground-to-air missiles, logistics equipment.
	Another U.S. ally told me the chief request from Beijing is simply for cash.
	Moscow is struggling due to those sanctions on their banks.
	And the U.S. believes China's actively considering going ahead with this support, which is why the president's top national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, flew to Italy and met with his Chinese counterpart in an intense seven hour long meeting, according to the White House.
	And he tried to persuade Beijing not to do this and warned of potential financial consequences if they do.
	Hold on.
	Let's discuss this clip.
	Mm-hmm.
	First of all, Jake Sullivan is the president.
	Which is even more frightening.
	More frightening.
	Yeah, it is frightening.
	That guy is really creepy.
	But he runs things.
	Are you telling me that Russia can't build their own cars?
	They can't build their own anything?
	They have to buy stuff from China?
	When did this happen?
	I thought Russia was a net exporter of arms weaponry.
	Yes, to friends of ours, like Turkey.
	This report doesn't make any sense.
	Well, it's CBS Evening News.
	It's a coded message.
	I don't know who it's to or why it's being done.
	You mean the last bit?
	The last bit is a coded message?
	You want to reevaluate?
	You want to listen to it?
	Another U.S. ally told me the chief request from Beijing is simply for cash.
	Moscow is struggling due to those sanctions on their banks.
	And the U.S. believes China's actively considering going ahead with this support, which is why the president's top national security advisor, Jake Sullivan, flew to Italy and met with his Chinese counterpart in an intense seven-hour-long meeting, according to the White House.
	And he tried to persuade Beijing not to do this.
	Which means it will disconnect you from SWIFT? No, that's never going to happen.
	That would be insane.
	Then everything stops.
	Then we're dead overnight.
	People will actually die, I think.
	Like I said, it's a coded message.
	I have no idea what the whole thing means.
	The number seven's involved.
	There's no reason to tell us this.
	Hold on a second.
	Did this meeting take place before they shut down with this new COVID variant?
	I think it took place after.
	And why in Italy?
	Italy is where China has their European headquarters.
	That's why COVID kicked off there.
	Or, Italy's in on something too.
	Well, Italy's in on the fact that they refuse to take part in this shutdown of the banks because they need Russian gas and oil.
	Right.
	They're one of the two countries.
	Germany and Italy were the two, curiously, both part of the...
	Right.
	So what the Chinese are saying is, we need oil, coal, gas, whatever, and we'll give you cash.
	I mean, that's what I'm hearing.
	And then...
	And A. Blinken goes there and says, well, no, there'll be financial consequences.
	That wasn't Blinken.
	That was...
	I mean, what's his face?
	Yeah, what's his face?
	I can't even remember his name.
	Yeah, that guy.
	Sullivan.
	Jake Sullivan.
	Jake.
	Yeah.
	Jake the Snake.
	So he says, no, no, no, you can't do that.
	I mean, that's what it sounds like to me.
	And seven hours?
	What are you talking about?
	Seven hours?
	I think China did some quantitative easing.
	I think they printed some money to prop up the stock market.
	All that happened.
	There's just a couple things happening with that.
	I find the COVID lockdown in China suspicious.
	Well, yes.
	It's suspect.
	I don't like it because when it starts there, people start to talk in Europe and then, hey, maybe that delegation brought it over to Europe again, to Italy.
	We can do a replay of 2019-2020.
	Well, I find that whole report to be suspicious.
	And CBS would be the one passing messages.
	Alright.
	But who's it signaling to?
	We have no...
	I don't know.
	Well, we have people who might be able to know, and they'll let us know.
	Let's hope so.
	For sure, the message is, Gas Buddy is in play.
	Gas Buddy!
	What's this?
	Gas Buddy thing.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage.
	In the morning to you, the man who put the C in the commie scare, ladies and gentlemen, Mr.
	John C. Dvorak.
	In the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Kerr.
	In the morning, all ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air.
	Subs in the water and all the dames and knights out there.
	In the morning to the trolls in the troll room.
	I am very curious to see how many trolls we have in here.
	You okay?
	You alright?
	It sounded like the pile fell over there.
	You okay?
	It did.
	We've got trolls in the troll room.
	You can join them at trollroom.io.
	We can listen to the show live as we record slash broadcast on Thursdays and Sundays.
	And then you too can be counted.
	So let me, come on trolls, let me, hands up scurrying away there.
	Low, low, low, 2253.
	Wow.
	Wow, that's low.
	That is low.
	We have low T. Well, there could be some internet issues.
	It could be a lot of different things.
	Internet issues?
	Internet issues?
	People at work, I think that's number one.
	Yeah, but it's even when they're at work.
	Well, maybe they're more at work.
	But last week, Thursday, we had 2,800.
	I know.
	I know.
	So who knows?
	We have 600 people that decided our show stinks.
	It's probably people who are still confused with the time change.
	Europe, of course, didn't change.
	That never changes on time.
	The same moment in the world.
	I have some clips.
	You know, play those because...
	Yeah, why not?
	We've been bitching about...
	I have been bitching specifically for 15 years, twice a year, that the elites come in to screw up our lives and mess with our balance with this changing of the clock.
	And now it appears that there's enough noise out there that people want to actually do away with this in the United States.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And I think it's important to discuss because I'm worried about this.
	I have two clips on daylight savings.
	It's saving, isn't it?
	Daylight saving, yes.
	Okay.
	Not savings, but we all call it savings.
	Normal people.
	Daylight savings, one.
	You know, these days, the Senate is almost never united about anything, unless, of course, you are talking about changing clocks.
	Just this past weekend, we all went through that biannual ritual of changing the clock back and forth and the disruption that comes with it.
	This past Sunday, Americans had to once again change their clocks.
	And if the House follows the lead of the United States Senate, we can make it so no one anywhere has to change their clocks by making daylight saving time permanent.
	Republican Senator Marco Rubio, Democratic Senators Ed Markey and Patty Murray, and the rest of their colleagues passed the Sunshine Protection Act yesterday by unanimous consent.
	It would make daylight saving time permanent and eliminate the clear and present danger of changing clocks for Americans everywhere.
	Did she say queer and present danger?
	I swear to God I heard that.
	Well, I think she meant to say clear, but she may have said queer.
	I didn't catch it the first time.
	Make daylight saving time permanent and eliminate the clear and present danger of changing clocks for Americans everywhere.
	Great!
	You might be thinking, who doesn't want extra daylight hours after work?
	Well, Michael O'Malley, for one.
	Yeah, I'm sort of a crank on the subject.
	O'Malley is a history professor at George Mason University and the author of Keeping Watch...
	A history of American time.
	One of the things that's always struck me about daily saving is that it's felt by people as if they're experiencing a return to nature because you're outside in the park, you know, after work and it feels good.
	But what it really indicates is that we're completely hypnotized by the clock.
	O'Malley says businesses used to adjust their operating hours by the amount of available daylight, but then came World War I. Daylight saving time was marketed as saving on energy.
	But critics say daylight saving time actually increases fuel consumption.
	People got in their cars to use that extra hour of sun.
	That was always pretty much nonsense.
	The real impetus for it then and now was businesses that stood to benefit from daylight saving.
	That is, businesses get more people shopping during that late daylight hour and have often lobbied for daylight saving time even during World War I. Yeah, that's disputed, but okay.
	A lot of it's disputed.
	This is nonsense.
	I mean, a lot of it has to do with the farmer.
	The fact that we don't know why we do it.
	It's troubling.
	There's enough stories, but there's no singular story that says this is why we do this.
	No, there's not.
	Well, you might be right.
	Let's go to part two.
	The last time the U.S. tried year-round daylight saving was in 1974.
	Tomorrow morning, or earlier, if you want to break up the party, you should set your clocks ahead one hour, as most of the mainland United States goes on daylight savings time until October 1975.
	Again, Michael O'Malley.
	There were objections almost right away, particularly from parents who were sending their kids out to the school bus in darkness.
	Within the year, permanent daylight saving time was scrapped.
	And now, this current version of forever daylight saving isn't a done deal yet.
	The bill passed by the Senate still has to get through the House before it can be signed into law by President Biden.
	Even then, it would not go into effect until next year, so we still have at least one more glorious fall day when we get an extra hour of sleep.
	Now, hold on a second.
	Is this a fractal?
	70s?
	74?
	Energy crisis?
	Was that earlier?
	No, no.
	74?
	Is this a fractal?
	What's going on?
	Oh, I have a new perspective on this now.
	Yeah, I have a new perspective on this now.
	I was like, you know, this is probably the worst time to change something in the human balance of nature.
	But now that they're doing this, so that means it will fail, I guess?
	Yeah, of course.
	Okay, it'll fail, but interesting.
	Hmm.
	There's good and evil at play here with this time change, John.
	Something's up.
	I'm telling you, Beelzebub is around the corner.
	You're laughing at me again.
	Beelzebub.
	Beelzebub.
	Whatever.
	The dude with the horns.
	I gotta get the pronunciation of Zololinsko.
	Zololinsko.
	Let us...
	Yes, so we were done with the troll room, I think.
	Well, thank you, the trolls that are here.
	It took a lot of time.
	Yes, well, it was worth it.
	Come on, it's content.
	And then people say, hey, man, did you hear that whole thing about daylight saving time?
	I said, no, man.
	I skipped over the donations.
	That's right.
	You moron.
	You missed all the good stuff.
	Yep.
	That's how it goes.
	Of course, you can follow us at noagendasocial.com, which is a really...
	Why are you laughing?
	Because we're going to discuss the art, and I just opened.
	You'll laugh, too, when you see it.
	Oh, I haven't opened it yet.
	This is our grand experiment, which we're incredibly proud of.
	NoagendaSocial.com.
	We have 10,000 members.
	We closed it down, but we federate with anybody and everything.
	Even Mastodon.social is federating with us.
	You know, they once deemed us the KKK Nazi quadroons and were on the blacklist.
	So I guess that blew over.
	Or maybe they upgraded and something happened and they forgot to block us.
	But it's been really nice because there are people from all over the place.
	All we do is deconstruct news.
	Well, on No Agenda Social, people deconstruct a lot.
	There's a lot going on there.
	Oh, I see.
	Yeah, there's some funny guys there.
	Yeah, some people.
	Goofballs.
	But in general, there's maybe one report a day from somebody, and it's usually our people reporting somebody else.
	Believe it or not.
	But you can follow Adam at NoAgendaSocial.com, John C. Dvorak at NoAgendaSocial.com.
	From any Mastodon account, it should work.
	And join the decentralized revolution.
	It's where all the cool kids truly are hanging out.
	I want to thank Tanta Nail for bringing us the artwork for episode 1433 titled Vodka and Diamonds, which was actually almost a Hail Mary when it came to titles.
	We had nothing.
	We really didn't have much.
	But when it came to art, it was kind of fun going through everything.
	And this was the piece of Joe Biden in the Mickey Mouse hands, watch face, on what turns out to be the one luxury American wristwatch made in the USA, which the Russians are no longer allowed to buy.
	It was deep.
	You had to listen to the show to understand it, but I thought in context of the time change, it was a good piece.
	I think that's a real watch, by the way.
	Okay, I see what you...
	Yeah, it is.
	Yeah, there is one brand of watches.
	This one costs about $1,200, $1,300, and they are made in the USA, and they are deemed luxury watches, but somehow the Russians...
	Just can't keep their hands off of this thing.
	They want to buy them so bad that we had to ban them.
	This watch is like 12 bucks and it's made in Switzerland.
	We had to ban them from buying our fine American timepieces.
	Yes, I see what you're talking about on the artwork, yes.
	Worth a chuckle.
	Let's see what else we were looking at yesterday.
	There wasn't much.
	This was pretty lame.
	I think we were almost thinking of going into the evergreens.
	I like the Jussie fruit.
	Yeah.
	But you correctly said it was a little homophobic.
	Yeah.
	A little lame.
	Yeah.
	See, I still think that's funny, but I'm Boomer adjacent.
	So thanks for keeping us on the path.
	Yeah, that's what I do.
	I think we both like Saving the Day.
	In fact, it was between Saving the Day and...
	I like Saving the Day a lot.
	Yeah, but yet we chose for Tantanil.
	I'm not sure.
	Saving the Day was by Capitalist Agenda and had Kamala Harris tipping the time in the watch face, which was also...
	It was a nice piece.
	Yeah, the reason I think we went with the other one is because of the goofy arms of Biden.
	It had some humor.
	Yeah.
	Also, it had nice composition.
	It also had the Made in the USA little clip in the corner, which referred to the show.
	I think it just had a lot going on.
	Yeah.
	Well, we love all the work.
	It's very minimalist, but still had a lot going on.
	We love all the work that every single one of our artists does, and you can be one, too.
	That's the cool thing about it.
	Usually, you would have to have some time during the show to come up with an idea, see if you can make it into something.
	Go to noagendaartgenerator.com.
	What's also nice is that Dreb Scott uses pretty much all the art he can find for multiple chapters in the Podcasting 2.0 space, as we call it, because you should be listening to this show in a new, modern podcast app, not in a legacy app.
	You can't get deplatformed from the Podcasting 2.0 apps, and you get a lot of new features, including all of the artwork, links, transcripts, etc.
	Newpodcastapps.com.
	It's part of our value for value model.
	Of course, we appreciate the work that the artists do.
	It's time, talent, and treasure.
	And we have executive producers and associate executive producers who are always ready to help us with the treasure tea.
	And we kick it off with Andrea Mars from Hopkins, Michigan.
	What is that, Hopkins, Michigan?
	I have no idea.
	Hmm.
	Wow.
	$1,003.16.
	Is that a St.
	Paddy's Day?
	No, that would be $17.
	Let's see what's going on here.
	Jingle request.
	Your favorite Reverend Al, jobs, karma, and a dedouching.
	We should do the dedouching right away.
	You've been dedouched.
	Andrea says your laughter is contagious, so when Rev Al makes you laugh, it's even funnier.
	I got one.
	I hope this note finds you well.
	I'm writing as a follow-up to my first ever donation to the best podcast in the universe.
	Aha!
	Hence the dedouching.
	And what an entrance.
	I am an elder, child-free millennial residing in the People's Republic of Michigan with my husband and two-pound puppies.
	Two-pound puppies are two-pound puppies.
	Two-wow.
	Two-pound puppies.
	Two-pound puppies.
	They're really tiny little things.
	Your show is the number one reason I recovered from the naive thinking that was forced onto me in college, and for that, I thank you both.
	This donation is in honor of my 33rd birthday on St.
	Patrick's Day Eve 316.
	There it is.
	As I write this email, I'm currently traveling for work and experiencing the less restrictive UK for the first time.
	How about that?
	Who would have expected it?
	I've recently started a new role as a global compliance manager for a chemical company and am now in a higher tax bracket, so it's fitting that I become an InstaDame and request jobs karma.
	And deduce me, please.
	We did that, of course.
	I've been riding the coattails of N.A. producers for far too long.
	Additionally, I feel I must correct something on the show.
	In the original video that is the source of the infamous goat scream, it's a sheep that is screaming, not a goat!
	Ah, this will not stand.
	As a former for her, for her, for dash her, who raised goats, I could not stand by and let this inaccuracy continue.
	A minor blemish on an otherwise spectacular product.
	Well, yes, if I may just add, that this sheep identified as a goat.
	So I think we're in the clear.
	Yes, I heard that.
	I think we're in the clear.
	For my daming, I would like to be known as Dame Andrea of the Dangerous Goods.
	I request Jägerschnitzel and Guinness at the roundtable as a tribute to my German-Irish heritage and St.
	Patrick's Day.
	Sláinte!
	Prost!
	Andrea Mars, CDGP in Hopkins, Missouri.
	The GOP infighting is escalating.
	Political says Democrats are outright jitty.
	Happy to watch the GOP implode.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs.
	You've got karma.
	Onward.
	I should mention that Zephyr did go by earlier, right on time at quarter after.
	Oh, and do you have a count?
	We haven't done a Zephyr count in ages.
	Well, it was the normal Zephyr, but it did have an additional car that was one of the rental cars that you can get, you know, the rich people have access to.
	Ladies and gentlemen...
	Go ahead.
	And it was one of the ones I don't remember ever seeing a, I've never seen it go by, and I don't remember seeing it in the catalog of these cars that you can rent.
	And I'm going to have to do some research because it was like a very strange looking thing.
	And this was just hanging off the end?
	Is this something they would uncouple and let go?
	Or do you think this was an elite escaping?
	Yeah, it was an elite escaping.
	Oh my god!
	Listen to that horn!
	The rats are leaving the ship.
	Yeah, they do that.
	Nick Yarima in Secaucus, New Jersey.
	Yeah, Secaucus.
	584.33.
	He needs a dedouching.
	And we got that in by the way.
	You've been dedouched.
	My smoking hot wife and our son departed New York City, New Jersey for good.
	And we're en route to our new home in Florida.
	Well, definitely different.
	In need of a road trip karma, house karma, jobs karma.
	A great boy, the housing prices in Florida have skyrocketed.
	Grateful to you both.
	Nick, soon to be in Ponte Vedra.
	Ponte Vedra.
	I don't know where that is.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	I'm going to get this one.
	Anonymous comes in from Billings, Montana.
	$500.
	Love the Ukraine coverage angle.
	Oh, thank you.
	Well, that's nice to know.
	Yeah, we've got a couple of complimentary notes from people that are, you know, not worked up into a tizzy.
	And that's the only thing.
	We are deconstructing media.
	We know how it works.
	We've been a part of the lie machine.
	Some of it is incredibly easy to see.
	Unfortunately, we can't help everybody.
	Certainly when people have a personal relationship with something going on in Ukraine in general, it's very hard to not get sucked in because fear, porn, and propaganda is what is always used.
	Always.
	All right.
	Sir Richard of the Purple Sage is in Elko, Nevada.
	401.01.
	Thank you for pulling the brims of your Southwesterners down and facing the hails of disinfo.
	Head on!
	It's getting harder to find objectivity by the day.
	Hang tough, amigos.
	Sir Richard of the Purple Sage, a little goat karma would go a long way, he says.
	Happy to oblige for you, Sir Richard.
	You've got...
	karma.
	Daniel Hollingsworth in Southgate, Kentucky, 33516.
	Two months from now, May 16th, is the total lunar eclipse of the flower moon.
	Let me make a note of that.
	Because it might be something to make a donation out of.
	Cheers to my lady.
	Thank you for your good work, fellas.
	A little job karma for the No Agenda tribe during these years of inflation.
	And 16 cents for your penny jar.
	Yay!
	Thank you.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	Okay, and up next we have David Ingram from Yarra Junction.
	Now, this is Victoria in Australia.
	333.33, favorite executive producer donation.
	In the morning, John and Adam, I'd like this donation to be a switcheroo for a birthday present to my smoking hot wife, Carrie Rollins.
	All right, Carrie Rollins.
	We got jingles for this stuff now.
	Yeah, I heard that.
	Too tight for this market.
	Have an awesome day, babe, he says.
	That's to Carrie.
	Goat calmer.
	It's not karma.
	It's calmer for all, please.
	Love is lit.
	Yes, I think goat karma is calmer.
	You've got...
	Oh, and I missed, oh no, this is Elliot.
	I got Elliot lined up here as well.
	Elliot, I'll do Elliot.
	I got it lined up.
	I'm ready to go.
	Elliot in Morristown, Arizona comes in with the same amount, 333.3, except, of course, our previous executive producer had to plunk down a lot more dollary-do's.
	This is the best podcast in the universe.
	Can I please get a de-douching and some goat karma?
	You've been de-douched.
	And add Susan and Sally to the birthday list for March 22nd.
	Jingles, stop the hammering.
	No.
	Stop the hammering!
	No.
	You've got karma.
	Van Betzel in Polluxville, North Carolina, 333.33.
	ITM, gents.
	And thank you for your courage.
	No agenda remains my touchstone of rational thought in an increasingly irrational world.
	Please send some F cancer karma to my family's dear friend Jane.
	She is on a hard road and every good vibe helps.
	And on a lighter note, if you want to call it that, please call out Travis as a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	And that was from Van.
	Thank you, Van.
	Then we have a donation from Capitalist Agenda.
	Our very own artiste, Capitalist Agenda, a.k.a.
	Matthew Peterson, Fountain Hills, Arizona, 333.17, who requests some St.
	Paddy's Day jobs karma and a proper dedouching.
	You've been dedouched.
	Well, you know what?
	For Capitalist Agenda, I think we need to roll out the big boy here for his jobs karma.
	He finishes by saying, thank you for your courage, Capitalist Agenda, a.k.a.
	Matthew Peterson.
	Jobs!
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs. Joe, jobs.
	You've got karma.
	So, that by the way, this is our special St. Pat.
	Patrick's Day donation of the 17 cents.
	We got two, which is not good.
	Now, I'm going to let you read some more, because I've got to see what my dog is out here whining about.
	Okay.
	She either wants to visit, or she wants to go outside, and she always picks the donation segment, luckily, to do this, and you can...
	Yeah, but you know what?
	It's like...
	She's trying to create content during the donation segment.
	She's definitely creating it.
	She's very good.
	I just need to know, Sir Janowski AM in Lindor, Pennsylvania, 333.17, he's requesting roundtable accoutrements.
	I don't understand.
	Is he already a sir or is he just adding that?
	Or is it special?
	I don't understand.
	I don't get it either.
	He's not highlighted.
	Yeah, I'm guessing he's not going to be nice.
	He just wants to have that around, because that's fine.
	Maybe.
	Yeah, well, it looks like good stuff.
	Yellow spot whiskey and light roast coffee.
	Well, you go attend to the dog.
	Sir Janowski AM requesting yellow spot whiskey and light roast coffee at the round table for St.
	Paddy's Day treat.
	Could I also get a dealer's choice?
	Now we need to use the dealer's choice.
	Yes, dealer's choice of clips with yes in them and karma.
	Yeah, I don't have a deal.
	I have only one clip with yes in it.
	Yes, yes, yes!
	You've got karma.
	Then we have Sheila Nemitz from Raleigh, North Carolina, going off script with 333.12, and she sent in, I believe, a note or a card.
	Let me open this up here.
	Yes, this is Sheila and let's see.
	In the morning, John and Adam, this is my second 333 donation.
	However, to avoid an unholy balance in my quest for damehood, this donation is a modified switcheroo.
	Oh my goodness.
	Please allocate 133.12 of this donation to Andrea Walker in honor of her birthday on 312.
	She's a great friend, and I thought this would be a perfect way to celebrate the girl who hit me in the mouth.
	She tried for many years, but I finally heeded her advice in mid-2020.
	Since then, I haven't missed a show.
	We love hearing that.
	Now I have access to twice-weekly conspiracy therapy and I have many wonderful people at No Agenda Meetups.
	This is it.
	This is your network.
	This is your tribe.
	Your deconstruction of the news has been eye-opening for me.
	You really have a way of keeping things in perspective.
	In some ways, I miss the salad days.
	The salad days...
	But now...
	What salad days!
	But now that I'm awake, not woke, the world is a different place, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
	Thank you for your courage.
	Happy birthday, Andrea.
	Love and light to all.
	Oh, and...
	Sheila Nemitz.
	I don't know why I said Andrea.
	And what did she want here?
	WTC7. Wanted a bit of a Sharpton medley.
	And...
	Yes, the Tortoise and Chipotle.
	See if I can find that for you.
	WTC7 won't go away I don't think I have that one.
	I've got, uh...
	This is a classic one.
	Resist.
	We must.
	We must.
	They're all jitty about a shutdown.
	The Tortoise in the race.
	Then co-author of Hubris.
	U2 lead singer Bono.
	Fran Drasher.

	Lavita.
	Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan to college students in Beijing.
	He's getting lunch at AAA in Iowa.
	Bain is appropriate.
	The GOP's tax day giveaway to millionaires.
	Why was traffic problems email sent to the Environmental Projection Agency and what sequestration has done?
	Why can't we have that guy for president?
	He ran.
	I know, but we blew it.
	Such a great guy for president.
	The Rev Prez.
	Dawn Elise Snipes is in Lebanon, Tennessee and sends us 333 in the morning.
	You have previously played content from my YouTube mental health channel, Doc Snipes.
	Thanks for all you do.
	We have had a shared mission of keeping people sane during COVID. I'm about 200,000 subscribers now.
	Yay!
	I've started a Bible study channel helping people, even ones who don't necessarily buy into organized religion, find practical tools for living from the Bible.
	I am desperately trying to get over the 1,000 subscribers so it can be picked up in the YouTube algos.
	Be careful what you wish for.
	If some of the No Agenda family will subscribe to and share the channel, Good Orderly Direction on YouTube, it would be so helpful.
	Please help.
	Good Orderly Direction.
	You are all appreciated.
	No jingles.
	Thank you, Donnelly Snipes.
	I'll go on with Alex.
	Ryan, is this show smooth or what?
	Oh, it's seamless.
	What did the dog want, by the way?
	The dog had to take a dump.
	And successful?
	Okay.
	31844 in Hamilton, Ohio.
	This is getting irregular.
	ITM, gents, and top of the morning to you.
	I, too, like many in Gitmo Nation, enjoy numbers, so please accept my birthday donation at 31844, which is for my birthday, 318, and the number of ventures around the sun I have made, 44.
	Yeah.
	This is also my first donation, so please de-douche.
	You've been de-douched.
	I'd like to send a quick shout out to my brother Chris Ryan who hit me in the mouth over the summer before I finally hopped on board in early November and haven't missed since.
	And also to Brother Sean Ryan, the proprietor of the 8-Bit Beard Company, which Chris mentioned last April.
	Yes, I remember that, yeah.
	In a donation in honor of our nephew Wesley and his passing.
	Many thanks to those that visited and supported Sean and his family at 8BitBeardCo.com.
	For jingles, I'll gladly accept a biscuit on my birthday and plenty of mac and cheese and top that off with an art to karma for all that need it.
	Thank you for all you do, Alex.
	Ryan in Hamilton, Ohio.
	They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
	You slaves can get used to mac and cheese.
	Mac and cheese.
	Mac and cheese.
	Macaroni and cheap cheddar melted together.
	Mac and cheese.
	Mac and cheese.
	Hey, everybody.
	You've got...
	Karma.

	31416, a slice of lucky pie for my yet-to-be-renamed husband, Knight Sir Ross Jennings, our family, and you guys.
	Some health karma to all, and a shout-out to my friend and colleague Miss Shah in Chengdu, China, from me in Singapore, Scotland, and Paris.
	Hey, we got coded messages happening, too.
	I love that.
	Thank you, Florence.
	Something's up.
	You've got karma.
	We dive at dawn.
	When bird flies at night.
	Clayton Mayring in Twin Falls, Idaho, 304-33.
	This 304-33 donation is a lump...
	This is a long list today, by the way.
	This 304-33 donation is the lump sum to bring me to nighthood after almost 13 years of listening since show 111.
	Atlas Shrugged is the name of that show.
	Oh, really?
	Please knight me, sir.
	Rock Chuck Knight of the Snake River Plain provided the Baron of Idaho and Grand Duke of the Pacific Northwest approved.
	No, that's the peerage committee makes that approval, not them.
	Can I get an Atlas Shrugged jingle and some karma for a promotion?
	I'm up for it at the rat poop inspector department.
	He's apparently a health guy.
	Sir Rockchuck.
	Night of the Snake River Plain.
	Atlas Drums.
	By Ayn Rand.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Yes!
	Come on.
	Up next, Jay Kell, our first associate executive producer, with the favorite donation number there, 234.56.
	In the morning, please de-douche me.
	You've been de-douched.
	I've been listening off and on since Adam was on Molly Wood's CNET show.
	Ah, buzz out loud.
	What the hell was that?
	That was on CNET. That was when I was in San Francisco.
	I was a guest on...
	You know, Molly Wood is up for like a podcast.
	I think she's either a podcast award or she's going to be in the Hall of Fame.
	For what?
	For being a Hall of Fame award winning...
	I think it probably really goes back to that show that they used to be.
	Yes, yes.
	Tom Merrick.
	I would say she was pioneering.
	What Turn Tom did was definitely valid pioneering in the video podcast space.
	I agree.
	So, good on her.
	I've seen too many 33s lately to not open the wallet.
	All I need is the biggest jobs karma y'all have.
	Jay from Fort Laud.
	Okay, let me get the biggest one we have.
	Second time I roll it out today.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs.
	You've got karma.
	Ivan, Ivan, Ivan, Ivan Huerta Bernal in Garland, Texas.
	23456.
	Also a donation with a great number.
	ITM been putting off a new donation, but when I heard Tillian Pearson, I had been an executive producer for Sunday's show, I knew that I, Tillian being the singer, I knew I made a, I knew I had made a show on the next one.
	Okay.
	I've been a long time listener of both Dance, Gavin Dance, which is Tillian's group, and No Agenda, thank you for your service.
	You know, it's like this is where you come to meet celebrities.
	Again, people passing by the donation segment, missing all the good stuff.
	It can't be ignored anymore.
	This is where you hobnob with the celebs, your other fellow executive producers.
	So nothing for him?
	No jingles?
	Nothing?
	That's what it says.
	Associate executive producership yet again for our Baron Anon Cop of the Bay Area, $211.
	He's in Redwood City.
	And he's the one that's doing all the PVC Velcro patches.
	He says, I want to throw you some proceeds.
	Yay!
	That's how it works.
	That's how the No Agenda shop works too.
	We love that.
	The No Agenda PVC Velcro patches and stickers from my store at 41patchesca on Etsy.
	41patchesca on Etsy.
	I'd like to thank all the producers that have supported by purchasing so far.
	I would never have thought I'd go from a single patch offering back in December 2021 where I was...
	He's building a business.
	He's building a patch business.
	He sent those two patches, and I was wearing a sweater at the dinner table, and I said, oh, these are the patches from our local police.
	And I stuck it on the sweater.
	It wouldn't come off.
	It wouldn't come off the sweater?
	Well, I mean, I eventually got it off, but it was really good.
	With half your sweater?
	With half the sweater?
	Was it your cashmere?
	No, it was not cashmere.
	I can just imagine you at home after dinner, smoking a pipe with your cashmere thrown over your shoulders.
	Oh, Mimi, give me that patch.
	I would have never thought I'd go from a single patch offering back in December 2021, where I was filling orders while on vacation, to our third patch being released recently along with three different stickers.
	I retooled recently the inventory and I put together what I will call a 5150 pack, 5150 being California's welfare and institution's code for a mental health hold for those outside of California, consisting of two of each item for a total of four patches and six stickers, a $75 value for $51.50. consisting of two of each item for a total of Hey!
	These prices are insane!
	I've also lowered the price for the 2.0 patch to $10, all in an effort to clear out this stuff.
	You mean you're having a sale?
	He's having a sale!
	I'm a one-man operation, still have to keep my day job.
	Please grab some swag to help propagate the formula.
	I recently took...
	Patches!
	They're going quick!
	Get them now while stocks last!
	Let me see.
	He has a lot more here that he's written.
	He did have a story about some horrible Uber drivers that he had, his trip to Lost Wages.
	Oh yes, he had a bad time at Lost Wages.
	Yeah, what exactly happened to him?
	I can't remember.
	Well, he took a patch to Lost Wages.
	He didn't run into any producers, but I guess he was wearing it to see if anyone would say, hey man, good morning to you.
	So he didn't see any producers, but did have two of the most horrible Uber drivers on earth, along with a taxi driver who exited his vehicle during gridlock traffic to dance.
	Which nearly caused a physical fistfight with another driver in the street.
	What is happening over there?
	No offense to area producers, but that will be my last trip to Lost Wages for a very long time.
	Also extend my thanks to John regarding the 2019 Kirkland-Bordeaux Superior Recommendation.
	I've been lucky enough to buy some and spread the word last month.
	If you haven't bought any, snag a few.
	It's a Costco steal.
	Yeah, $6.95, $6.99.
	Adam, may I request Dave Fletcher's...
	Uber with a We're All Gonna Die and a Mastodon jingle.
	And again, plug.
	Buy more patches and stickers, everyone.
	Thank you.
	Baron, a non-cop of the Bay Area, Mastodon and Etsy at 41patches.ca.
	I don't know what this is anymore.
	I just don't think this is what he was intending.
	It's not what he meant.
	We're all gonna die!
	Yeah, that one is right.
	Forgotten about that.
	Kirk Gibson is up in Leesdale, Pennsylvania.
	$200.
	And he says, heading to the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania NAMU tomorrow and realized I'd have to tell everyone I'm a total douchebag.
	So I wanted to say, this is the way to go.
	Especially the guys who go on and say, I'm a douchebag.
	And they record it.
	It's not good.
	Bad vibes.
	To say thank you and provide a donation to keep my good name clear.
	A dedouching would make me feel fresh, thanks.
	You've been dedouched.
	Don Igler is in Washington, D.C., $200.
	Oh, that's a hotbed right there.
	As a dedicated first-time donor, $200.
	Living in D.C., I'm requesting a de-douching.
	You've been de-douched.
	Also, lots of luck.
	Discovered you on Glenn Beck's podcast and have been captivated by you guys ever since.
	My husband and I are bailing out of the barrio for a free state.
	Send some sweet...
	Glenn Beck Donations.
	Send some sweet karma our way and thanks guys for the inspiration, conversation and humor.
	See?
	Quality people coming from the Glenn Beck Show.
	We like this.
	We got some karma.
	In fact, first timers, we got goat karma.
	You've got...
	I think it's something about somebody in Washington, D.C. listening to Glenn Beck.
	I don't know.
	Dame Nancy of the Confused in San Bruno, California, $200.
	ITM, thank you for dissecting the incredibly thick war propaganda.
	You're welcome.
	All we do is deconstruct the news.
	Did the mission statement ever show up on the homepage?
	Oh, I think it...
	I haven't checked, but yes, it was handed off and it should be working.
	When people bitch and moan to us, refer them to the mission statement.
	You are both much appreciated.
	We thank you for that too.
	A love and light.
	Dame...
	Dame Nancy of the Confused in San Bruno.
	Dame Nancy of the Confused in San Bruno.
	Okay.
	Michael Day said...
	I forgot how to pronounce that.
	Fouquet, Verena, North Carolina, $200.
	Keep this one short because the next one won't be.
	Thanks for your hard work.
	Jingles, Sharpton Montage.
	Thanks to you, Ed.
	Is this Crown Hog Day 2?
	We are watching.
	That was Attorney General Eric Holder, ABD, about some Republicans at It gets me every time.
	The Pentagon is funny.
	It's the best.
	I want him to quote, dwindling, they do not want him dwindling his thumbs.
	You can get a gig as a contortionist.
	Okay, that's enough of Al.
	Sir Alan Bowes is last on our list today, which is a good list, I have to say.
	And Langley, B.C., $200.
	This is all you get for $200 Canadian.
	I guess it got bumped up.
	Yikes, we are now up to three or more barons in the province of B.C. Time to get...
	Time to me...
	Time to...
	It's what it says.
	Time to me move on.
	Time to me move on to Viscount, even though it's hard to give up the totally awesome Baron of BC title.
	Too bad you can pass on the Viscount and just stay Baron of BC. Too bad our country is led by a tyrannical WEF moron.
	John, for your information, the reason that the truckers are protesting on both sides of the border is that for the unvaccinated, they have to test and quarantine every time they cross the border.
	Not possible to make a living when you are parked most of the time.
	As a lot of the trucks are owner-operated, they cannot just hand over their rig to somebody else to cross the border and deliver.
	20% of Canadian drivers and 40% of us drivers are not vaccinated and unvaccinated drivers.
	An unvaccinated Canadian is not legally, is not legally, boink, hold on.
	Allowed to leave the country.
	Okay, guys, sorry, it was closed.
	Allowed to leave the country by airboat or train.
	Peerage map update, please, as I'm the only one listed.
	Cheers, no jingles, just some freedom karma.
	We could use it.
	Freedom karma?
	I don't think we have to.
	We have actual freedom.
	I think all karma is freedom karma, isn't it?
	It should be.
	I just wonder if we had...
	Maybe we have...
	We had some kind of...
	Freedom!
	No, that's sacrilegious.
	We can't do that.
	You've got...
	Karma.
	There you go.
	That could be.
	That works.
	Yes, this is ridiculous and it must end.
	You know, the...
	You still cannot come into the United States as a non-resident or non-citizen without showing proof of vaccination.
	And the same goes for the EU. And there's no one talking about this.
	And this doesn't seem to be dropped.
	Mandates dropping all over the place.
	But this one thing for international travel is still in place.
	You've got to wonder.
	Well, we need to look into this and see why it's continuing.
	There's no reason for it at this point.
	Thank you to our executive producers and associate executive producers.
	Very good list today.
	We really appreciate that.
	People celebrating the Irish, of course.
	Amongst other things, such as the deconstruction that we provide for you twice weekly.
	And if you'd like to also become an executive or associate executive producer, which does include the actual credit that you can use and post anywhere, and you will be the enemy of all your classmates, just go here.
	Thank you again for bringing your time, talent, and treasure to episode 1434.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	World.
	Order.
	Shut up, plane.
	Shut up, slave.
	I think we should do a little COVID stuff because there is some COVID stuff happening.
	And I alluded to it earlier.
	It's starting again in China.
	This morning, COVID cases have now doubled in China in just one day, making it the biggest and most widespread increase in cases since the pandemic began in 2020.
	And it is the highly contagious Omicron B2 variant that is sweeping.
	The highly contagious Omicron B2. Now we've gone to sub-variants of the variants with skipping names.
	Now we're just adding a letter onto it and a number.
	This is not within protocol.
	This is not good.
	The protocol was, like I've proven before, is bullcrap.
	It never was a protocol.
	It was a lie.
	...contagious Omicron B2 variant that is sweeping across the country.
	Sweeping!
	Now, Chinese officials are cracking down, introducing new lockdowns and mass testing.
	Cracking down.
	In total, more than 51 million people entering another lockdown.
	The entire province of Guilin and southern cities Shenzhen and Dongguan will be closed until at least March 20th.
	There are growing concerns these new lockdowns could disrupt supply chains.
	Factories have been ordered to close.
	Foxconn, a big producer of Apple products, including the iPhone, of course, has relocated production at two of its factories.
	Now, the exact cause of the outbreak is unknown, but some point the finger at neighboring Hong Kong, which is struggling with a huge surge.
	And now China's strict COVID zero policy will now be tested as the country battles this fast spreading B2 variant.
	I'm smelling some bullcrap.
	I mean, this war is going to end.
	Maybe, maybe we just keep, maybe we just do it a little bit longer.
	Just maybe a little bit more.
	Maybe you can get something kicking up.
	It should go to March, April, May.
	It was always my prediction where it was going to be totally ended.
	They're kind of premature.
	Maybe we have to stretch it a little bit.
	I think we're going to have to reinstate some of these mandates.
	I think that's coming.
	And the White House is all over it.
	You know, of course, and this was so clearly set up.
	They like some piddly amount, $20 billion or something, they wanted for COVID funding.
	And that got taken out of the $1.5 trillion bill.
	I mean, literally, we could have taken out a couple of, you know, a few line items and we would have had it.
	So that didn't make it in.
	Now we have to start whining about it because we need more money.
	And Trevor, this all comes just as the White House is warning that critical pandemic response programs are now in danger of shutting down.
	That's right, Amy.
	So all of these federal programs, of course, cost money to run and additional funding for these programs is stalled in Congress.
	So later today, we're expecting the White House to send a letter to Congress detailing their plans to scale back the COVID-19 response efforts.
	We should be learning later today what programs, what efforts are going to be either scaled back or outright cut.
	But the White House has warned that they needed this additional funding to keep up with COVID-19 testing and antibody and antiviral treatments.
	Ah, yes, it's the testing and the antivirals and the antibody treatments.
	I think we need the professional peppermint patty to explain to us exactly what that means, because without this funding, which I'm sure will be the Republicans or Trump's fault somehow, it's not going to be good.
	Today we've outlined the severe and immediate consequences that the United States will face if Congress fails to provide us with $22.5 billion in emergency funding.
	Who is this us she's talking about?
	Did you hear that?
	I'm glad you mentioned it.
	Play it again.
	Today we've outlined the severe and immediate consequences that the United States will face if Congress fails to provide us with $22.5 billion.
	That sounds a little weird.
	Is it your budget?
	Is it your budget, Jen?
	Do you get to use that?
	I know I'm doing it with ants here.
	She's got a mouse in her pocket.
	...in emergency funding to fight COVID-19.
	Those consequences are dire.
	Fewer monoclonal antibodies sent to states and inability to purchase additional treatments.
	Oh, okay.
	So you already can't get monoclonal antibody treatments, but now we're going to cut whatever we weren't sending in the first place.
	Something that kind of might work.
	Fewer tests available to Americans, less surveillance for future variants, and the risk of running short on vaccines.
	Okay, I get it.
	Oh my God, how about this scenario?
	I'll roll it back and then I'll shut up and listen to the scenario.
	The scenario is, the Republicans made us take this funding out of the bill.
	So now we don't have enough to test.
	We don't have enough treatments, test to treat.
	So we're going to blame everything on the Republicans.
	I think this is another political setup.
	Additional treatments, fewer tests available to Americans, less surveillance for future variants and a risk of running short on vaccines.
	For months, we have been engaging Congress about our needs for additional covid response funds.
	for additional COVID response funds.
	Just to give you a few examples, in January, we notified Congress that responding to the unprecedented surge in cases due to Omicron would exhaust our funds.
	Just to give you a few examples.
	In January, we notified Congress that responding to the unprecedented surge in cases due to would exhaust our funds.
	Throughout February, we held briefings about the lack of funding and what the consequences would be if we didn't get additional funds.
	Throughout February, we held briefings about the lack of funding and what the consequences would be if we didn't get additional funds in the president's State of the Union address.
	In the President's State of the Union address, the President called for additional COVID funding, and our National Preparedness Plan made clear that funding is needed.
	In total, senior administration officials have held more than three dozen calls and meetings with Congress and at least 10 briefings to committees to communicate our needs so that we can do what Americans should expect from their government, protecting them from a once-in-a-generation pandemic.
	I'll finally say on this, with cases rising abroad, scientific and medical experts have been clear that in the next couple of months, there could be increasing cases of COVID-19 here in the United States as well.
	We talked about this a bit yesterday.
	Waiting to provide funding until we're in a worse spot, but the virus will be too late.
	We need funding now, so we're prepared for whatever comes.
	I smell a setup, because this thing is over.
	And now they've got China locking down suspects just...
	In general, because that's what they do for all kinds of reasons.
	And then we have all the, like, I can demonstrate that this is propaganda.
	Three short clips.
	All right, tonight, former President Barack Obama is recovering from a mild case of COVID. Mr.
	Obama revealed on Twitter that he's had a scratchy throat but is otherwise feeling fine.
	Former First Lady Michelle Obama has tested negative.
	The former president, who is fully vaccinated and boosted, is urging more Americans to get the shot, even as the infection rate declines.
	Ha ha ha ha!
	Hey, man, I got the shot.
	I'm boosted.
	I got it anyway, but get the shot.
	And, you know, why does he need to release it?
	Why does he have to do a press release?
	Well, I got COVID. Michelle, write a press release.
	Is that necessary?
	Does everyone have to do this?
	I guess so.
	...stage, but that's enough, too.
	Look at the stage.
	But there's been a little change in the arrangement of who's on the stage because of the first lady's husband contracting COVID. But look at this room and what you see.
	Pardon?
	That's right.
	She's fine.
	Listen to these morons.
	That's not together.
	The second lady, the first gentleman.
	How about that?
	My goodness.
	He can't even fake who's phony sick.
	Did he say the second lady and then he changed it to first gentleman?
	He said the first lady's husband.
	Yeah, no, that's the beginning.
	At the end, though, he made this little flub.
	Well, the flub was at the beginning.
	No, listen to the end.
	Okay, hold on a second.
	To the end.
	She's fine.
	Me.
	That's not together.
	The second lady, the first gentleman.
	Right there.
	Yeah, the first gentleman would...
	No, he says the second lady.
	Then he corrected himself to the first gentleman.
	Right.
	He called that guy, the husband of Camelot, the second lady.
	That's not a flub.
	That's just truth coming out.
	What are you talking about?
	You called him the second lady.
	Oh, no.
	ABC had to dance around it.
	Vice President Kamala Harris's husband, Doug Emhoff, says he has mild symptoms after testing positive for COVID. Harris has tested negative.
	Yeah, okay.
	And by just ignoring the fun bit.
	But this one has me concerned.
	Also ABC. Wastewater treatment and detection has been a really useful indicator of COVID trends throughout this pandemic.
	But unfortunately, a lot of these sites now over the past several weeks have been reporting some really troubling numbers all across the country.
	Northeast and the Midwest.
	The CDC says between February 24th and March 10th, 37 percent of the wastewater sites that they monitor saw the presence of COVID-19 not just increase, but increase at least 100 percent.
	And of those those sites, three in 10 saw increases of at least a thousand percent.
	That is an astonishing jump.
	And as we all know, cases across the U.S. have been down.
	Officials say this could very well mean a rise in cases through the spring.
	It is possible it could already be happening.
	And what's really further fueling these concerns is a relatively new variant.
	It's called BA2 that White House officials say spreads about 30% faster than the Omicron variant.
	They say they are watching this very closely.
	Right now, it makes up only about 10% of cases across the United States.
	That number is expected to rise, and we very well could get new data on the BA2 variant and how fast it's spreading from the CDC later today, Amy.
	I guess Delta Airlines was so mad about the Delta variant that they made them do British Airways or something.
	Let's get back to that last clip.
	If the wastewater is a lagging indicator, I don't see any evidence that it's a leading indicator.
	He said leading?
	Oh, he said leading indicator?
	I missed that.
	No, he didn't say that, but I'm...
	I'm just going by what this thing is.
	No, it's after the fact.
	It's called a lagging indicator.
	That means that everybody's had COVID or there's some sort of COVID going around that nobody even has symptoms for.
	It's all asymptomatic.
	A common cold COVID. But they're seeing it as some horrible COVID thing.
	This is bull crap.
	If it's up a thousand percent and the cases are down, what does that really tell you?
	It tells you that this thing is over.
	Do you think that they can still scare people into submission?
	I wonder how much the public will put up with another round of this, because they look around.
	I mean, there's a bunch of willy-nillies out there.
	There's pearl graspers that are just scared of their own shadow, and they're all over the place.
	There's no doubt about that.
	But the general public is not going to put up with this.
	To add insult to injury.
	Good morning, George.
	This morning, Pfizer calling for a fourth shot.
	The drug maker requesting authorization for an additional shot for those people 65 and older.
	Now, Pfizer submitting two sets of data from Israel showing the additional shot.
	Stop the trick for a second.
	It's almost like this, 65 and older.
	Oh, Mr.
	Jenkins?
	Oh, you've had your three shots and you're still alive?
	Oh, geez.
	Hey, Bill, you need a fourth shot is what you need.
	That's right.
	You need a fourth shot.
	You know, Pfizer documentation, adverse events and deaths during the trial.
	Be damned.
	Who cares?
	No one reported on it.
	You can find it on Bitchute.
	Just go ahead.
	Get the fourth shot.
	They're recommending it.
	Get a fourth shot because you're not dead yet.
	By the way, and who's recommending this?
	The CDC? That's not what I heard.
	Good morning, George.
	This morning, Pfizer calling for a fourth shot, the drug maker.
	This was a drug maker.
	It's like your drug dealer.
	Hey, man, you need more lines of coke.
	I'm telling you, you need it.
	Don't listen to anybody else.
	Requesting authorization for an additional shot for those people 65 and older.
	Now, Pfizer's sending two sets of data from Israel...
	Oh, that's it.
	65 and older.
	This is it.
	This is what they've been trying to do.
	I've noticed this all my life.
	They try it one way or another.
	Now they've got this great gimmick they're using and they're trying to kill people.
	This is the beyond death panels.
	This is targeted murder.
	...and older.
	Now Pfizer submitting two sets of data from Israel showing the additional shot decreased both the number of confirmed cases and severe illness.
	The company's CEO saying the fourth shot dramatically improves protection.
	The FDA will now look at this data to determine if the additional shot is needed and when.
	The push for this fourth shot coming as some 58 million Americans who are eligible to receive the vaccine still have yet to take their first.
	This, as scientists are closely watching a sub-variant of Omicron BA2. The concern?
	The WHO roughly estimating it may be 30% more transmissible than the original strain.
	30%!
	And currently makes up for 23% of new cases in the U.S. But while the percentage of BA2 cases are up, the total number of new COVID cases in the country is down.
	Why don't they have a Ukraine death counter on the screen like COVID? Shouldn't we be counting how many Russians we've annihilated?
	Yeah, but it must have been a decision made that the numbers aren't going to be so extreme that it wouldn't be good enough.
	Well, you know what?
	People say, hey, COVID's killing more people than that.
	Well, to keep this meme going, although probably in not such a positive way for the pharmaceutical industry, did you hear about Haley Bieber?
	Yes, yes, Haley Bieber.
	Haley is a leading indicator.
	I posted this on the No Agenda Social.
	Oh, you did?
	No.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, she's a leading indicator of this horrible affliction that's taking place amongst 20-year-olds.
	Yeah, and I put, I think it was the, in that post, it was the story about her, and it was, I think, it was, here's your vaccine update.
	Yeah.
	Well, here is your vaccine update.
	This morning, Haley Bieber is recovering at home from one of the scariest moments the model says she's ever been through.
	The 25-year-old describing how she experienced stroke-like symptoms last Thursday and was taken to the hospital.
	Detailing her medical emergency on Instagram, writing, They found I had suffered a very small blood clot in my brain, which caused a small lack of oxygen.
	But my body had passed it on its own, and I recovered completely within a few hours.
	So they're about somewhere between 900,000 to a million strokes a year in this country, and about 10 to 15% of them are happening in young people.
	So while it's not as common as if you're much older, it does happen.
	Haley saying the symptoms hit when she was sitting at breakfast with her husband.
	Justin testing positive for COVID-19 a few weeks ago, just after the pair were spotted at the Super Bowl.
	Bieber forced to postpone a concert during his worldwide tour because of the virus.
	Thank you guys so much for coming to this justice tour.
	Over the weekend, Justin posting this photo of the power couple with the caption, Can't keep this one down.
	Haley reassuring her fans on Instagram she's doing well, writing, I'm so grateful and thankful to all the amazing doctors and nurses who took care of me.
	Thank you to everyone who's reached out with well wishes and concern and for all the support and love.
	So what really is happening?
	I mean, it's spectacular.
	We're seeing so many young people.
	I mean, it's clearly just a coincidence that we're seeing this now.
	Coincidence?
	And joining us now is ABC News medical contributor Dr.
	Darian Sutton.
	Dr.
	Sutton, Haley Bieber is just 25 years old.
	Seems young.
	Is this atypical for someone that age to experience something like this?
	someone to have a stroke under the age of 60, but it's not impossible.
	In fact, recently, given the pandemic, we've seen increased rates of cardiovascular disease.
	A recent study from the Journal of Nature actually followed over 150,000 people and found that those who had a prior history of COVID-19 infections had higher rates of arrhythmia, heart disease, and stroke across all age groups.
	Yeah, and we should be clear, there's no indication that COVID had anything to do with what happened to her at It could be, but we don't know that that's the case.
	What are the risk factors and warning signs of this?
	So there are some important risk factors to pay attention to.
	They include a history of heart disease, a history of high blood pressure, use of oil contraceptives.
	Yeah, I'm stopping.
	I'm stopping because I'm going to predict what's going to happen on this clip.
	Okay.
	She's going, she has a good journalist, she's going to, because he's on a roll and he's got, she's going to say, because we have to clear this up, she's going to ask him, she's going to ask the question, is it possible that the vaccine itself, because she's been vaccinated, has caused this, and she's going to, that, I predict, that is what she's going to do.
	Let's find out.
	So there are some important risk factors to pay attention to.
	They include a history of heart disease, a history of high blood pressure, use of all contraceptive pills, and if you've had a prior stroke before, you are at an increased risk of having one in the future.
	I'm sorry.
	What?
	I'm sorry.
	No, there was no question.
	How could you?
	It's not even certain this comes from COVID. Why are you even bringing the vaccine into the conversation?
	Well, because he opened the door for that kind of questioning when he said COVID might cause this sort of thing.
	And of course, she didn't even ask him if she's had COVID because she hasn't.
	But she should have said that and said, well, if COVID didn't cause it, is it possible that the vaccine itself could cause this?
	And it would seem like a logical thing for a journalist to do.
	You know, what's interesting is I find more and more people publicly stating they were not vaccinated, who I previously did not say that.
	I think they're looking for people that don't want to, I don't know.
	And I'll tell you two people specifically, Glenn Beck and Tom Woods.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	I met Tom, by the way, in Austin.
	We had lunch together.
	Yes, I saw the photo.
	You were sitting at lunch with him, and he wrote up a little essay about what a great guy you are.
	I know.
	I'm tops.
	I'm foam finger number one.
	I guess I'm involved in oral sex.
	I'm not sure there's something going on about that.
	His fiance was right there with him.
	John, please.
	He was in town for Michael Malice, another one of your buddies.
	Michael Malice, is he another Texan?
	He is now.
	He lives in Austin.
	He left New York.
	Everybody's in Texas now.
	Although a lot of the Californians are now moving from Texas to Florida.
	Florida is the way to go.
	What are you talking about?
	Well, it's just like Texas because there's no...
	For one thing, you don't have Abbott.
	Okay.
	That's number one.
	Yeah, I would agree with you.
	I think DeSantis would be an improvement.
	Yes.
	And then you don't have...
	The same no-tax situation.
	But the thing that people don't realize about Florida is that if you go bankrupt and you lose everything...
	You can't lose your house.
	Oh, is that true?
	State law, yeah.
	In Florida.
	Oh, I didn't know that.
	Yeah.
	In Texas, we round up a posse.
	We rouse you right away.
	Oh, yeah.
	And then burn the house to the ground.
	Burn it to the ground.
	Yeah.
	Hmm.
	Well, as Tina would say, yeah, wait until the first hurricane when they find out there's only one way out.
	Yes, there's only one way out.
	There's only one way out.
	You're not going to get in the hill country, that's for sure.
	She says that is not fun.
	And she lived in Boca for, I don't know, 20 years.
	That can't be fun.
	Long time.
	Yeah, no, that can't be fun.
	I just had kind of an off-the-wall clip, and I want to thank, with some specificity, the Clip Custodian, who...
	This is his 100th credited show.
	I just want you to know how much work he has been doing.
	2,000 clips he has sent, 1,100 were played, and 2,600 end-of-show mixes.
	If that is not some...
	Time and talent than I don't know what is.
	And it's really appreciated because what he does is sit through ABC, CBS, and NBC to get these god-awful clips that we deconstruct.
	And he has a very, very good knack at choosing them.
	And I experienced this phenomenon myself yesterday.
	Now experts are warning about product downsizing.
	The things you buy getting physically smaller.
	You're paying the same amount for less product.
	It's called shrinkflation.
	According to the founder of Consumer World, Edgar Dwarsky, more than a dozen items have shrunk in just the past three months.
	All right, so give us some examples of where we're seeing shrinkflation.
	I mean, we're seeing it in a lot of places, including toilet paper, everyday items like Charmin Ultra Soft.
	The mega rolls are now not so mega.
	They've reduced the number of sheets from 264 to 244, which averages out to about one and a half fewer rolls per pack of 18.
	That's pretty dramatic to me.
	Well, those are household items, but what about food?
	What about drinks?
	Well, the PepsiCo, for instance, says that Gatorade is getting smaller.
	It went down from 32 ounces to 28 ounces.
	And historically, you could get these and you would know what you were getting.
	But now it's the same height.
	There's less inside.
	The parent company of Gatorade is PepsiCo.
	They're telling other media outlets that the new bottle is, quote, easier to grab and a little bit more expensive.
	This is only a matter of design.
	Yeah.
	What?
	Oh, I was just going to do that clip over, sorry.
	Oh, did we lose you?
	You don't have me?
	No, I mean, did you not hear the whole clip?
	No, I thought I heard the whole clip.
	Well, it's almost done.
	Only a matter of design.
	So what can consumers do about this?
	Well, George, we're used to being price conscious, of course, but now you need to be unit price conscious and net weight conscious.
	You've got to go for the price per ounce and price per pound.
	So you have a little bit more homework to do, a little bit more work to do when you go to the grocery store or you're buying stuff online.
	You've got to look at the fine print, as it were.
	Shrinkflation, baby.
	A couple of things.
	A couple of things.
	The last time this exact same phenomenon happened to an extreme that became newsworthy, think fractal.
	70s?
	Yep.
	Huh.
	Exact same thing.
	Exact same thing.
	I bet you we can find a news report.
	Only they didn't have the term shrinkflation.
	Oh, okay.
	They didn't have...
	What did they call it?
	Scam?
	They just call it corporate scam?
	It was called just an out-and-out rip-off.
	Rip-off?
	So, when we moved here...
	I think Tina ordered a chair for the bedroom.
	Wait, let me guess, and the chair's half the size.
	I'm telling you, eight months, we've waited for this chair.
	It finally arrives, and she's ordered from this company before.
	And you look at the pictures in the catalog online, they just had a mini room.
	And this chair comes out.
	I was like, what is that?
	It's like Alice in Wonderland size.
	A little bitty chair.
	That's hilarious.
	I got to take a picture of me in it.
	Oh, yes.
	And it back.
	Well, what happened was...
	It's like the company.
	The guys who brought it, they're pulling it out, the chair.
	And they set it up, which is really nice.
	It's not your white glove service, but they unpack it.
	And then we're right away.
	It's like, wow, that looks kind of small.
	And the guy says, oh yeah, we've been telling corporate for months now.
	It's a key point.
	You really need a showroom or something so people can see this before they buy it.
	Because I think people are saying, pack it right in and take it back.
	And I said to Tina, I said, well, let's order a new chair, something that's the right size, and give me this one.
	They can put it in the studio.
	I'll never notice it.
	Put it in the corner.
	The dog can't even put his paws up on it.
	Her paws up on it.
	It's ridiculous.
	So that's shrinkflation.
	Okay, so what are the fractals?
	Because besides the carless sundae, which I'm hoping for, what are the fractals, now that we have two, What was the first one again?
	Whatever you pointed it out early.
	It was the weather or something.
	Were we eating bugs in the 70s?
	Could that be coming?
	I had that bug clip, but that was from the 60s.
	I don't remember bugs in the 70s so much.
	We had, I don't know, we had to make a list.
	Well, we had different vehicles.
	Of course, that'll happen with the electric vehicles.
	That's part of the fractal.
	We had to have, you know, fuel economic vehicles.
	Yeah, we went...
	They went from a regular size and everyone was downsized.
	What was the big winner car of the time?
	What came out of the oil crisis as the big winner?
	Was it all Japanese stuff?
	What turned out to be was, I think, the SUV because when that oil crisis ended, man, those cars got big again.
	The big losers were like the long Cadillacs and Pontiacs and those cars.
	Those things were doomed.
	The Pinto?
	Hey, the Pinto was like the Tesla, exploding cars.
	There you go.
	Yeah.
	Actually, you could probably put that on the list.
	Oh, it was the petrodollar.
	It was the petrodollar.
	What are the three fractals?
	Again, you're catching me flat-footed here, so I can't help.
	Okay, well, it's something to keep our eye on, because...
	Well, actually, I do have one, but I think...
	And this goes back...
	They've tried this, and I think it was even tried in the 70s.
	In fact, it may have been tried in the 70s.
	I know it was tried in the 50s, the 70s, the 80s for sure.
	Um...
	Only now it's coming around again one more time.
	This has to do with this stupid crap that Facebook is doing.
	But listen to this.
	This is a three-parter.
	This is the metaverse smell-o-vision.
	Okay.
	What fine broadcast outlet is this from?
	I think this is on NPR. I remember the smell-o-vision idea coming around the computer scene at least twice.
	And they're acting like, oh, this is a great new idea.
	Here we go.
	At the headquarters of OVR Technology in Burlington, Vermont, smell is king.
	Co-founder and CEO Aaron Wisniewski is a perfume maker turned tech entrepreneur.
	He shows me his company's invention.
	This right here is the technology, and you can see it's maybe the size of a candy bar or so.
	The cartridges.
	Clips in.
	Inside the cartridge are vials of scents manufactured at the OVR lab.
	That's fresh lemon.
	This is an herb garden.
	He snaps the cartridge onto a virtual headset, which, if you've never seen one, looks like a massive pair of ski goggles.
	I pull the whole device over my eyes and nose and enter the metaverse.
	A flower box full of roses appears in front of me.
	I lean over, pick one, and sniff.
	Oh, wow.
	Hmm.
	It's a bit like a modern day smell-o-vision.
	Hollywood's attempt from the 50s and 60s to incorporate scent into movies.
	A machine would pump odors into movie theaters corresponding with the action on screen.
	Oh, cool.
	You get gassed in your own home.
	Yeah.
	I love it.
	So yeah, Scratch and Sniff.
	We had Scratch and Sniff.
	I remember that.
	That's still around.
	Oh, come on.
	Who seriously uses Scratch and Sniff?
	Well, Scratch and Sniff is used in, if you look at Vogue or some of these.
	Oh, Women's Magazine.
	Yeah.
	Well, it's not Scratch and Sniff.
	It's Open and Rub.
	Well, it's a scratch and sniff deal.
	But, so this was like, this comes around.
	I don't know why it keeps coming around.
	And, but here it comes again.
	And like, if I'm going to go into the metaverse, the last thing I'm going to do, oh, there's a bed of roses.
	I'm going to bend over and sniff them.
	Bull crap.
	It's not going to happen.
	And I'm not going to say, oh, wow.
	Which is still annoying me.
	Like, wow, this is so crazy, man.
	Oh, wow.
	Who could have ever thought that up?
	Or out.
	Right on.
	Right on.
	Here we go, part two.
	...pump odors into movie theaters corresponding with the action on screen, like the smell of gun smoke during a shootout.
	Smell-O-Vision never really worked that well.
	The different smells would linger and mix together.
	But Hollywood was onto something.
	Judith Amores is a research fellow at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, focused on scent and virtual reality.
	She explains our sense of smell helps us feel fully present in a place and create memories.
	The smell of your grandma or like, you know, the particular perfume of someone.
	The smell of your grandma.
	I think those are very, very powerful.
	It's not the same just seeing the image.
	Hey man, that's a Curry Dvorak gig.
	Grandma smell.
	Who wants grandma smell?
	Or Biden?
	How about Biden?
	Biden, scratch and sniff.
	There's more to your clip.
	I think I stopped this clip.
	No, no, there's more to it.
	There's more to it.
	Okay, there's a reason where I stop.
	I'm going to give you a hint.
	Listen to this woman who's doing the reporting about the smell of it.
	I think this is one of these things where you put something in there as kind of a joke.
	Because if you listen to her carefully...
	She talks like this because she can't breathe through her nose.
	She's got attinoids problems and she can't breathe through her nose.
	And she's the spokeslady for Smell-O-Vision.
	And she's doing a report on Smell-O-Vision.
	She can't breathe through her nose.
	I think those are very, very powerful.
	It's not the same just seeing the image.
	Reproducing real-world odors in a lab is a challenge.
	Amore says people are surprisingly good at sniffing out and dismissing artificial scents.
	Wow!
	You know, we think that things are amazing at smelling.
	Humans are really, really are.
	I mean, we can smell one trillion different kinds of smells.
	We truly have a superpower.
	Not all the smells in a virtual reality experience are going to be as pleasant as a rose.
	I'm reminded of that by Sarah Socha, who developed smells for OVR. She shows me some of her vials of scents.
	We have urine, garbage, diesel fuel.
	Diesel fuel?
	Diesel fuel?
	Blood.
	Dirt.
	Feces.
	Okay, this is a weird question, but can I smell garbage?
	Okay.
	Okay.
	Oh, derelict.
	I get it.
	Oil?
	Oil and feces and blood?
	I'm sure that all goes into smells, but...
	Oh, my God.
	Anyway, play it out, but this is ridiculous.
	The fact that they even promote this is beyond me.
	Okay, three.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	That's garbage.
	Yep.
	Cool.
	It's easy to laugh about these malodors, as they're called, but they have important applications.
	They can be used in training simulations for soldiers or first responders.
	The market for this virtual reality scent technology is still pretty young, but the VR market as a whole is growing rapidly right now.
	Wisniewski and his team think that someday scent is going to be just as integral to VR headsets as audio technology is to a smartphone.
	Oh, okay.
	What?
	Wait, wait, wait.
	Just as important as audio is to a smartphone.
	Let's just dissect that for a second.
	How is it going to be just as important as audio is to a smartphone when the smartphone is nothing but an audio device?
	Well...
	But the goggles are not just a smell device.
	It's a false equivalency.
	Oh, whataboutism?
	You know, what caught my attention was, oh, well, you know, it's early, but this will be great for military.
	This is all where the money is going.
	This is all the money from the National Defense Authorization Act goes into these companies, and I'm sure the war industry is all in on, oh, we're going to fight in the metaverse, the kids will sit at home on their couch and they'll operate the drone or whatever.
	And we'll train them with smells.
	And this is a sales job.
	This is not for consumers.
	I agree.
	And I agree that they're going to do that.
	But there's also some other element you've got to at least pay some attention to.
	Is the element of, let's see if we can make this guy sick and throw up.
	I'm going to show my sword by donating to no agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yes, we have a few people to thank.
	Starting with James in Dalzell, South Carolina.
	Came in with $167.54.
	Charles Vandesand in Eureka, California, $162.61.
	Rachelle Ragnar in Austin, Texas, 12345.
	Marjorie Santelli in Kirtland, Ohio, 12345.
	Dame Jamie in Easton, Connecticut with 10317.
	And she sent a note in that's so cute I have to read it.
	Hi, guys.
	I love when John does his Insta voice for...
	I don't know.
	They're his.
	I don't know what that means.
	On March 17th, I married my pea, two peas in a pod.
	He introduced me to no agenda around that same time.
	Suddenly, life was better.
	While I attribute most of that to Sir Mad Hatter, a quote, the couple that listens together stays together, I don't expect you to read this love letter, heart, heart, heart, but would you please say, Happy anniversary to the love of my life, Sir Mad Hatter!
	I'm forever grateful he found me on Match.com back in July of 2009.
	I will love him forever and always.
	John plus Adam will have to be happy coming in tied for second.
	Sloppy seconds!
	We're just sloppy seconds.
	Dame Jamie.
	I love when John does his Insta voice for...
	I don't know what that says.
	Okay.
	Onward.
	That's 103.17.
	I also have a $100 donation from Dennis Price in Pine Grove, which couldn't be scanned in because it's a post-it note and it would have stuck in the machine.
	That's $100.
	Craig Williams, $100 from South Morang, Victoria, Australia.
	Scott Porter in Frisco, Texas.
	Lucas, and these are $100.
	Lucas Williams, $100 from Roswell, New Mexico.
	Onward with Sir Kevin McLaughlin, Duke of Luna and Lover of America, and Boobs with 8008 from Concord, North Carolina.
	Consistency is his middle name.
	Coco in Plano, Texas, 8006, the lopsided, and there's a birthday involved at Brian Gates in Fremont, California, 6666.

	John Fitzpatrick in Heber Springs, Arkansas, 5317.
	Check for the douches.
	I think there's one coming up.
	Jennifer ROA in Santa Clarita, California, 53.
	That's a shout out to Tricia Shelby and Ava in memory of Kevin R. Ivan Babich in Astoria, New York, 52.
	Sir Luke Rayner, the Earl of London and the Southeast, he's also in London, 50.99.
	Sir Walkman, Duke of Ohio in Louisville, Ohio, 50.33.
	That's a birthday.
	Tony Smith in Fort Worth, Texas is 50.
	In fact, these are all $50 donors.
	I'm going to name and location them.
	Tony Smith?
	Location away.
	I'm going to location them.
	Kevin Dills in Huntersville, North Carolina.

	Please give me a dedouching.
	This is bullcrap.
	Okay.
	You've been dedouched.
	John Shaughnessy in Milton, Massachusetts.
	That's 50.

	Concludes our list of well-wishers and supporters and producers for show.
	1434.
	Thank you very much.
	And thank you to anyone and everyone under $50 for reasons of anonymity and, of course, our multiple subscriptions.
	We really appreciate people getting on those.
	That always helps sustain throughout these slower periods.
	Today was a good day.
	We appreciate it.
	Show's going long, affiliates.
	Some make goods from missing donation notes from 1432.
	This is Larkin H. who gave us the 333.33 donation in the morning.
	Thank you for the outstanding podcast.
	My first donation, so here goes.
	Please de-douche.
	You've been de-douched.
	Need health and business karma for all in the form of a terrier.
	And number three and most important of all, and this needs to be discussed, we need rain sticks.
	Yeah, let me see where it's required.
	Please shake it with all your might.
	We need all the rain we can possibly get.
	I know the location is hard to dial in, but please try your best to hit the rural Dos Palos Fireball area of the San Joaquin...
	Joaquin?
	Joaquin, there you go.
	Oh my god.
	The San Joaquin Valley.
	Yeah.
	So do we do this?
	I can't win.
	Do we do this?
	Yeah, I think we should, because the Bay Area needs some rain, too.
	Hold on.
	How many would it do?
	One, two, two full?
	I'd say, since we're double-teaming, once over and back.
	Okay.
	All right.
	We're going out to San Joaquin Valley in California, targeting the...
	I need a targeting...
	Targeting the Dos Palos Fire Bar area.
	Here we go.
	go three two one good shake man Oh.
	the Yeah, we haven't done that for a while.
	No, so South Texas, get ready.
	There's always the back end of the stick, which is nasty.
	I am third generation to farm the ground.
	My grandparents settled back in the early 40s.
	Right now, my husband and I have many, many acres of wheat dying in the field due to lack of water.
	We are desperate for the rain.
	Should we do another shake?
	I'm worried about this now.
	That's Democrat farming policy in California, sorry.
	We are desperate for the rain to save our crops, so any rain, help, prayers, karma directed our way is very much appreciated.
	The food shortages will be coming, Gitmo Nation.
	Currently, California grows about two-thirds of the U.S. veggies.
	And three-fourths of the fruits and nuts, and we are the top dairy-producing state in our nation.
	The government of California plans on putting over one million acres of farm ground out of food production in the coming years.
	Hello, bugs.
	Hello, fake meat.
	The complete mismanagement of our water systems, dominance of environmental activists in our state, bad water policy, water restrictions, and over-regulation are putting family farms out of business left and right.
	That's intentional.
	Similar to many other industries, soon the corporate investment class are going to be the only ones left in agriculture.
	Of course, the irony is that they care the least about the environment and the food they create.
	It makes me effing sick, but I digress.
	Thanks again for any help, and please bring on that miracle march.
	Take care from Larkin, says Larkin H. She's a chick, in case we were wondering.
	Just so you know, John's a chick.
	You stopped.
	Harmon.
	Report back into us, Larkin.
	Let us know if you need a top-up on that.
	And a missing note from David Miller, also from the previous show, 333.33.
	He's in David Miller, Bayonne, New Jersey.
	Gents, Adam and John, you two are a godsend.
	Been listening since Adam's first appearance on The Alex Jones Show.
	Sorry for being a douchebag for so long.
	Yeah, that is a while back.
	Alex Jones donation.
	Douchebag!
	wife and I have been busy putting four human resources through college, the last of which finishes up this spring.
	Job done.
	Would like to call myself out as a douchebag and humbly request that I never be de-douched.
	This will serve as my penance for taking so long to donate.
	I really don't mind being a douche and some say it's what I do best.
	How could I miss donating 333.33 for the show?
	That is the 33rd time the number 33 appears in the show.
	It's as if the universe is speaking directly to me.
	While I'm making this donation towards my knighthood, I would like to request a switcheroo and give the executive producer credit to my daughter Riley, our budding entrepreneur.
	She has begun an Etsy business and is doing quite well, fingers crossed.
	Can you give her a shameless plug for her Etsy store?
	Handmade by Cooper.
	All one word.
	Handmade by Cooper.
	Keep the great work.
	I'd like a birthday shout-out for myself as March 12th marks my 54th trip around Helios.
	And we appreciate it.
	He says, God bless the both of you.
	We appreciate that, David.
	And Switcheroo is hereby performed.
	Thank you very much for supporting the show.
	Do we have anything else to take care of?
	Because that was a lot.
	Oh, yes.
	We need some health karma for Dreb Scott's twin bee.
	I'll give that right now.
	She got her hand stuck in the door.
	You thought karma.
	I'm not laughing at her, but laughing at the lengths we go to to heal the children.
	And for anyone who'd like to support the show, become an executive producer, associate executive producer, and a sustaining producer.
	Support the show.
	Time, talent, treasure.
	Go here.

	Someone that feels...
	Yeah, that's right.
	We had two roundtable requests, but only one true nighting.
	So here's my blade for one night.
	One night.

	I think he needs a long one.

	A couple of reports.
	We have one from the Tilburg Café in Café Kedinsky.
	This happened March 12th in the Netherlands.
	That was last Saturday.
	Around 20 No Agenda producers flocked together in Café Kodinsky in Tilburg.
	Once again, it was great to see people who have never met immediately engage in lively conversation.
	Some traveled to Tilburg in pairs, and those who traveled alone were met with open arms.
	The banter was pleasant, and the beer tabs stacked higher than the average fill-up at the gas station.
	And that's saying something in the Netherlands.
	With the MSM pumping out war propaganda, our amygdalas obviously remained small.
	The vibe was relaxed and respectful, with room for ample laughter, intelligent discussion, and rolling eyeballs about certain world affairs.
	A meet-up truly is like a party, and before we knew it, it was closing time.
	Thanks to Brandon from California, Ali, Niels van Oliesheik, and their dames of the New World Order Elimination Crew, Sebastian, the dude from Katz Heuvel, Sydney, Oz, Iris, Kat, soon to be dame, Guus Kadaver, Jappe, Maddie, and Rob, Rob, Kim, and Ed, and last but not least, Michael. and Rob, Rob, Kim, and Ed, and last but not We're very sorry if your name is not mentioned here.
	Thank you everyone for your courage.
	You made us proud hosts, El Duderachi and Sir Rob Knight of the Philanthropic Shareholders Federation.
	And we had a meet-up in report form from Boston.
	What's going on, Negroes of Northeast?
	Keep bopping.
	Get vaccinated.
	No.
	Whatever.
	Whatever.
	Salty Ketchup here from Manhattan, New Hampshire.
	In the morning!

	And in the morning!
	Definitely creative.
	I feel a little nauseous, but it was very different.
	Thank you.
	North Idaho, Sanity Brigade.
	Virtual meetings are at least as important as physical meetings.
	Wrong.
	That is absolute bullshit.
	Roll the tape.
	Hi, TM. This is Jason from Coeur d'Alene, where we are at max capacity for political refugees.
	We wish you all luck.
	I'm Joy.
	I'm from Post Falls.
	Today, I was hit in the mouth.
	What did we drink?
	What was that?
	The Ukrainian Freedom?
	Ukrainian Freedom Ale.
	These yellow fizzy pork juicies.
	Hey guys, this is Sir J-Mo, dude named Ben from Lewiston, Idaho, saying in the morning.
	Hey, I'm Jason from Post Falls, Idaho, here at Selkirk Brewing.
	We're having a potty.
	There's no spooks here today, because we've got a pasta glock to lock the lotus.
	So many years of the six-week cycle.
	Pretzels good, bread bad.
	This is Clark from Spokane, Washington.
	We're all just trying not to stumble through our exit messages in the morning.

	Just a grab bag of what's coming up in the next few days.
	These things are global.
	People are meeting up everywhere.
	Producer organized.
	You need to be a part of this.
	You'll want to have your community because it's good to know people in real life.
	Noagendameetups.com.
	If you can't find one near you, start one.
	Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
	You want to be where you won't be.
	Triggered or hell's a flame.
	You want to be where everybody feels the same.
	It's like a party.
	I should mention something.
	Yeah.
	Which is that people, we had two or three examples of this, and usually Mimi just takes care of it, but these guys insist that, you know, they run it by us.
	Who insists what?
	Run by combination radio station meetups and no agenda meetups.
	Oh, I don't know anything about this.
	Yeah, I didn't tell you about it.
	This just came up last night when she was putting the list together.
	Uh-huh.
	And these are meetups that are designed to promote some other event and no agenda people should come and so we should be promoting it on the show.
	We don't encourage or want these combination meetups that are something other than just people getting together.
	Zoom meetups are no good.
	Meetups are like a radio station meetup plus a no agenda meetup.
	Have we ever had someone doing a radio station meetup where they wanted no agenda there?
	That's what I'm talking about.
	Oh, I'm unaware of this.
	Because they've been killed by Mimi usually, but they've insisted running it by us.
	And so she ran it by me and I said, don't worry, I'm speaking for Adam.
	Oh, okay.
	We're not doing that kind of thing because the meetups are supposed to be for no agenda listeners who are meeting up, not for some promotion of something else.
	Yes, I agree.
	And I think the point I made was we're not going to leverage our meetups for the benefit of a third party.
	Got it.
	What I think people are doing is saying, hey, this is a big thing.
	Lots of people are there.
	Let's meet up while we're there.
	Like a protest.
	It can be accomplished in a certain way.
	But generally speaking, it's to leverage us.
	I don't like the idea of being leveraged.
	All right.
	We're on the non-leveraged tip.
	No leveraging, please.
	No leveraging.
	I'm unsure of my ISO, so I'll go first.
	I have three.
	Here's the first.
	Thanks so much for reporting, and stay safe.
	I heard that one.
	Oh, you did?
	Yeah.
	I was thinking of clipping it, too.
	Here's the next one.
	People know what's coming.
	Nice little vocal fry.
	And...
	Oh, brother!
	This guy stinks!
	Those are my offerings.
	Okay.
	I had to go to the well.
	So I went to Sophia.
	Oh, goodness.
	To see what I could come up with.
	And I just did some needle drops, and I got two.
	I got next.
	Okay, next.
	Yeah.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	You cut out.
	What did you say?
	Oh, the next one's important.
	Important.
	So I think this is really important.
	That's irritating.
	I kind of like that one.
	I think we have to go with that one.
	Because that's so no agenda.
	I mean, we are the stay safe with Jesus guys.
	We're the stay safe podcast.
	Stay safe with Jesus.
	Stay safe with Jesus.
	Stay safe.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Wow, alright, so we've really overstayed our welcome unless you want to do one more thing, something else before we leave.
	Well, I do have one more thing to do.
	Okay.
	Um...
	But then I'm looking at how important it is.
	I don't think it's important.
	I think we can wrap.
	I can move these forward.
	It's no big deal.
	Okay.
	Well, then we're probably good.
	All right.
	I mean, it is three hours and 31 minutes.
	It's outrageous.
	How did it get so long?
	Because we had long donations.
	And then we always do extra content when we have long donations.
	That's just how it works.
	Yeah.
	Oh, I'm happy.
	Dog.
	The dog says, hey, these guys are running long.
	The dog already interrupted the show once, doesn't get to do it again.
	What am I going to do?
	A 13, 14-year-old dog is, you know, she's a good dog.
	She barks at the door.
	All right.
	We will return to...
	Seamless, by the way, seamless.
	We will return to the tales of John's dog on Sunday, if you join us.
	Look forward to that.
	I will be here coming to you from the hills of the Texas, from the center, from the heart, there you go, the heart of the Texas Hill Country, FEMA Region No.
	6 in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where we're still worried sick about that maternity hospital, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We return on Sunday with another edition.
	Remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA. Stay tuned for Curry and the Keeper, episode number eight coming up, and end of show mixes from Sir Michael Anthony, the mutton monger, and, uh, and doucheous.
	Until Sunday, everybody.
	Adios, mofos.
	and such.

	by Ben Thede Don't kid yourself, no matter what y'all say.
	That's called World War 3.
	Okay?
	Let's get it straight.
	That's called World War 3.
	So, I will say what I know we all say, and I will say over and over again.
	This is work that has been done proudly, clearly, and out in the open.
	The United States stands firmly with the Ukrainian people in defense of the NATO alliance.
	The worst part is that this hurts us as in a form of national security.
	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.
	Their appeal is, we're against gays, and we're pro-family, so we are more like you than these evil Democrats.
	One of the Russian journalists said, you know, there's one difference between Hitler when he was coming in and Putin.
	Hitler didn't kill effective Germans.
	He didn't kill German-speaking people.
	He slaughtered the very people he said he has come to liberate.
