This is your award-winning Kimbo Nation Media Assassination, episode 1436.
This is no agenda.
Taming tornadoes and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region numbers 6.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley where we hear that when Biden landed in Brussels, he said, who are these sprouts?
I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Clackpot and Buzzkill in the morning.
All right, writing material again.
I like it.
Very good.
It came to mind.
Oh my goodness.
I'm kind of regretting the last rain stick shake we did.
You guys got hit a little bit?
Well, you know what happens.
Whenever we use the rain stick, and I point it west, kind of, was it northwest, the back end of the stick does all, it wreaks havoc.
Did you see what happened in Texas?
We had hailstorms, tornadoes, multiple tornadoes ripping through round rock.
Round rock!
I don't think I can ever recall it.
And that's right in Austin, basically.
And I feel guilty.
Okay.
I mean, seriously, we've got to be careful with that.
We need water.
We did not need that.
I mean, there was only material damage.
I think maybe one person died.
But it was weird.
Just seven, eight, nine, ten tornadoes.
Little tornadoes just touching down all of a sudden.
That was rain stick magic, boy.
I'm afraid of it.
We've got to be careful.
You know, some years ago there was a tornado that hit Fort Worth.
Mm-hmm.
It hit downtown and it took one of the buildings.
Can somebody straighten me out on this?
Because my recollection goes way back and I never updated it, so this may have changed.
Okay.
But it supposedly took one of the high rises and hit it so hard that it twisted it in such a way that it couldn't be demolished.
No, I don't remember any of this.
And I've heard this.
It's an old story.
And it's over by the Tandy Towers.
Of course, the Tandy Towers.
Are they still called the Tandy Towers?
No Tandy's out of business, so it seems unlikely.
Or is it now Crypto.com Towers?
Seems like the go-to these days.
I know.
Can somebody update me on whatever happened to that building?
Right off the bat, I think we need to give you your props and well-deserved.
This is what we do here at the No Agenda Show.
We analyze what's going on and often come up with what people will call crazy, nutty predictions.
But, John C. Dvorak, Red Book, come true.
All right, big news for pro sports teams in New York.
Mayor Eric Adams expected to change the city's private sector vaccine mandate to allow exemptions for athletes and entertainers.
This per multiple reports.
This move, obviously.
Dude, you nailed that so hard.
I mean, that's just crazy.
Yeah.
Well, what was my thesis, though?
Your thesis was about the gambling.
Gambling interests.
Yes, yes.
They run the country.
And I'm so happy that I placed my bet when you told me to.
Good move.
What was I thinking by not doing that?
I'm not a gambling man.
That's the problem right there.
So this is pretty transparent what's going on here.
Well, it is to me.
Meanwhile, we got, you know, the private sector mandate is still in place, just only not for performers and sports and athletes.
I mean, holy crap!
I mean, I know people who literally cannot get a job because of the mandates.
Still, in New York City.
Yeah, New York's terrible.
I mean, that's just horrible.
It's a shameful town.
And by the way, if you're a podcaster, do you not qualify as a performer?
Have you ever listened to a lot of these podcasts in New York?
Come on.
Seriously, when the lockdowns came, I think podcasters were considered essential personnel, essential workers.
Yeah.
Well, you're media-exempt is what it really was.
Okay.
All right.
My other prediction is coming true, too.
Which is this.
Which is the Ketanji Jackson Brown.
Now, may I just say, we cannot start with Ketanji Jackson Brown.
I don't have any clips.
I can't start.
There's lots of good clips.
I know they're out there.
There's tons of them, and they're all funny.
You literally have a Brown Jackson.
I mean, just the whole topic by itself.
The war ended the minute this hearing started.
It's all political bullshit.
I refuse to start our show with it.
I refuse.
Now that you mention it, why are they showing these hearings on all the networks and on KQE or on the PBS affiliates?
Because war is over.
It's not interesting.
Oh, no, but it's all political.
It's 100%.
Oh, we got to show that...
Well, hold on a second.
Oh, God, I didn't want to do this.
I didn't want to do it.
I didn't want to do it.
All right, I'm going to play because it's media deconstruction.
It's not something from the actual hearings, which is just so tedious and boring.
Just listen to how this is being used.
It's only there to propagandize people.
And if you want to hear the best, then you go to the source, Joy Reid.
Yeah, listen to this.
They supported fully Justice Kavanaugh and were outraged that anyone would ask him about these three credible accusations of sexually violating teenagers and college students, okay?
So we know they don't really care about that.
They also fully support Donald Trump.
Who has 26 accusers.
Just so you know, this is all about Trump and the Republicans.
And the Republicans, it's all about critical race theory and Roe versus Wade.
It's a disgusting display.
No better than the Kavanaugh hearing, in my opinion.
Going all the way from having leered at teenage girls at beauty pageants he was in charge of to rape in the case of E. Jean Carroll.
All the way up to 26 accused.
So we know they don't care about any of that.
We also know they don't care about the rule of law because they refused to convict Donald Trump of fomenting an insurrection which Josh Hawley raised his fist to support in real time.
So we know they don't care about any of that.
Rule of law, the law, none of it.
What they care about is performing.
Because their real job, much like Margie Green, is not to legislate.
It is to perform.
To perform for the Fox News audience.
To perform for far-right voters who are terrified that their children will learn that slavery was bad and that slaves weren't happy and singing in the fields.
That's a bit of a stretch, Joy Reid.
They're terrified.
And so they want to perform for that audience.
So they'll vote.
And so what I saw today was the performance of QAnon.
QAnon ideology.
There it is.
This woman who has perfect integrity that Lindsey Graham has voted for twice to be on the federal bench to try to tie her to child pornography because they know that's going to activate QAnon voters in November.
It was pure performative.
It was repulsive.
And it was purely thuggish.
So Thuggish.
Thuggish.
Now, she has a point in this.
She has a point about...
When she says QAnon, what she means is, Democrats are raping and eating babies.
That's what she thinks QAnon is.
And that's what she's referring to.
And she does have some point because it's all about...
Pornography, child pornography, the sentencing, the light sentencing, and lurking in the background, which will come out.
I'm sure some douchebag somewhere will do something with it.
Brown Jackson was the judge in the Pizzagate case when the guy went in and was looking for the kids and discharged his weapon.
Oh, I did not know that.
Yes, and she threw him in jail for four years.
So, you know, I understand where someone can say, hey, wait a minute, lenient on pedophilia, and she was also the judge there, and she threw that guy in.
It's like, you know, I see where it's coming from.
But to say just QAnon is...
I think there's a lot of...
Certainly, millennials are very wary of all politicians and whatever pedophilia may be taking place.
Well, I'm surprised as much of the porn stuff came up.
And there was a couple of other little gotchas that they had on there.
But they were...
She's in the bag.
I mean, you could tell by the way the hearing was going and the way that...
They just got the...
If the Republicans don't want to come around with one or two votes, the Democrats don't care.
They're just going to ramrod her through, and they have every ability to do that, and that's what they're going to do because there's not one dissenting Democrat.
There's not one that's even thinking of taking the side of the Republicans on any of the arguments.
And then the other thing is that the Republicans are beating up too much on this light sentencing concept, which is what they're going after her.
It's all they've got.
No, they have the other stupid things.
I mean, this, again, it's 15 seconds, so I don't feel too bad about it.
Well, you really feel bad about even discussing this.
I do, because it's not what's important in the world, but it is funny.
Can you provide a definition for the word woman?
Oh, yeah, this is good.
Can I provide it?
This is Marsha Blackburn.
Her hair is entirely too big.
Marsha.
Marsha, Marsha, Marsha.
She's out of control.
Take it from the hair man.
You need to tone it down, girl.
It's too much.
It's not age appropriate.
Can you provide a definition for the word woman?
Can I provide a definition?
No.
Yeah.
I can't.
You can't?
Not in this context.
I'm not a biologist.
Everybody picked up on that one.
But let's just discuss it for a second.
I think there's a difference between defining female and defining woman.
And what she should have said is, a woman is an adult female human being.
She could have said a million things she didn't say.
That is the definition.
And then she could have been asked, well, how about can you define female?
So it was loaded from Blackburn.
And the whole thing, what do you want to prove?
That she's a libtard?
It says it on the packaging, man.
Of course she is.
That's what you put her up there for when you got the majority.
But it's disgusting because it's all about...
And Tucker Carlson leads with it.
Whoa, let's get everyone riled up.
Ugh.
Yours seems to be more riled up than anyone.
I just have the one...
I wish you had this clip.
If you have this clip, then we're out of here.
Okay.
Maisie Hirono.
No, do you have...
This was also on touch.
Wait, you have a Maisie Hirono?
No, I didn't clip it.
Oh, okay.
Maisie Hirono.
I didn't clip any of these things.
Maisie Hirono says, and she's just in her stupid way, she is the dumbest woman ever in the Senate.
It's got to go down in history.
She should get a plaque.
She says, she literally says that you weren't picked because you're black.
She says this.
How can I not have this clip?
I can't believe I don't have this clip.
Somehow I did not.
She says you weren't picked because you're black.
Yes, she was literally picked because she was black.
That's what Biden says.
I'm picking a black woman.
I have to disagree with you.
Maisie Hirono is not the dumbest woman in government.
She's not.
She's a runner-up.
This is the dumbest woman in our government.
The governor and I, and we were all...
I'm doing a tour of the library here and talking about the significance of the passage of time.
Right?
The significance of the passage of time.
So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time in terms of what we need to do to lay these wires, what we need to do Now, we've got to talk about what happened here.
Now, hold on a second.
First of all...
People aren't analyzing this.
But first of all...
I distinguish between dumb, just dumb like Maisie Hirono, and stoned.
Fair point.
Fair point.
You know, time, I was thinking about it the other day, and you know there's a two on the clock.
And when the one hand points up, like thumbs up, it means two o'clock.
If the other hand's on the two, and if it goes to the three, that's three o'clock.
Is this also perhaps part of the great, I'm calling it the great recycle now.
I think that's our new term, because we're recycling to the 70s.
With everything that, what the elites, the bankers are calling...
Because there's a lot of garbage, is that what you're telling me?
We're going to have all of it.
We're going to have all of this.
If Kamala is stoned, like weed stoned, and I'm stoned all the time.
I don't repeat myself like that.
I mean, something else must have been going on.
You're not like a stoner.
It's different.
If you're talking like this, hey, there's no agenda, man.
But she's not talking like that.
Adam Curry.
She's not talking like that.
That's what she sounds like to me when she's talking about the passage of time.
Well, wait a minute.
Don't you think this was...
Hold on a second.
Don't you think that maybe the prompter wasn't rolling and she was just repeating the passage of time until someone started scrolling up?
That's what it felt like to me.
Uh-huh.
Now, our great recycle back to the 1970s.
Before Nixon resigned, but not before Spiro Agnew resigned.
And was Gerald Ford not...
Was he Speaker of the House at the time?
He might have been.
Well, you know what that means.
If we have a complete recycle, we have to...
Kamala has to resign because she's clearly stoned.
She's stoned.
And then guess who becomes vice president?
Yeah.
Nancy Pelosi.
And then Joe resigns, and we're done.
The fly in the ointment.
Oh, okay.
The president gets to pick whoever he wants, and it just so happened that Gerald Ford was a guy that was appropriate for the job.
There's no way that Biden's going to put Nancy.
Biden can pick anyone.
He can put Hillary in, which is a lot of people's big theory.
Oh, Hillary's going to get in.
This is how she becomes president.
Yeah, she's on deck.
I mean, she's clearly on deck.
Well, she's trying to push her way in again, but there's a number of theories about how Hillary can get in, and I push back on all of them because if we've watched enough of the antics of the Democrat Party, we will have seen that they don't want her back.
No, I know.
All I'm saying is, look, Gerald Ford was a loser.
Look, he couldn't walk the stairs, which is also a throwback with Biden.
Yeah, the Biden falls down the stairs.
Kept falling down the stairs, yeah.
Gerald Ford falling down the stairs.
Yeah, there's a lot of...
I don't know, man.
Gerald Ford, everybody liked him.
The country was really...
They thought he was a good guy.
And the only reason he didn't get re-elected as president, because he did run...
Two things.
One, he put Nelson Rockefeller in as his vice president.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah, the shill.
The money shill.
So you got Rockefeller.
This is like the Republicans always representing the rich.
Well, then you bring in Nelson Rockefeller as your vice president.
But that wasn't the one that really got him kicked out.
It was that he immediately pardoned Nixon.
Right.
Right, right, right.
And once that happened, the public turned on him and they voted in.
Jimmy Carter, hello.
How about this for a throwback?
And this may be closer to what Kamala is doing.
The New York Times reports today, demand for this toad's psychedelic toxin is booming.
Wasn't toad licking a 70s thing as well?
It was, yes, in fact it was even done in a Simpsons episode.
Yeah, toad licking.
It was like nobody that I know ever did it.
I think it was something of an urban myth.
It was like banana peels.
Well, the New York Times is reporting that people want the toad toxin.
Toad licking.
Yeah.
But they're smoking it.
Greg Birch, our knight up in Port Angeles, sent in a note.
He's saying, it's just one of your parallels.
I'm making a list.
I have a list.
I'm going to read it on the show, but not today.
He says, litter.
And I said, litter?
What's litter?
I didn't say litter.
That's right.
That's right.
And as soon as he told me, he told me about the Indian.
They had this ad in the 70s with this Indian that looked at all the litter.
And he had a tear coming down his eye.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, my goodness.
The Indian with the tear down his eye.
And the next thing I saw on the TV was the trash pickup going on in Berkeley where they got...
They have caterpillar tractors in these homeless camps scooping up so much garbage and litter.
It's just ridiculous.
These homeless people, they can't find a garbage can.
In the 70s, when we go back from Holland to visit my grandmother, this was Wiffy, Marilyn.
She was fantastic.
And she was a real, like, classy lady.
Had a beautiful convertible.
She was single.
And she would just tear around.
She had the Marilyn Monroe hairdo.
The whole thing.
Perfect grandmother.
And she'd be at the light and she'd see someone toss a gum wrapper out behind her.
And she'd get out.
She'd go pick it up.
And she'd knock on the person's window and say, I just picked up your litter.
That was a thing.
You did that in the 70s.
There was a bunch of people like that in the 70s.
Yeah.
It was a thing.
The litter thing was a massive, it was a big movement.
The country was cleaned up pretty well in the 80s and 90s.
When the homeless thing cranked up, then the litter thing increased and it was, yeah, it's a mess.
There's a lot of 70s throwbacks.
It's really, and gosh, we even saw this cool new 70s series on HBO, Minx.
Now you want to watch this.
It's about a writer who, a magazine editor who wants to create her first magazine and she winds up teaming up with a pornographer and they create a women, like, basically like Playgirl.
But it's the 70s and it's so well done.
Everything is, I mean, everything is recognizable.
The colors, the whole thing is cool.
So 70s are back, baby.
Wait, bell bottoms anybody?
We can make a killing.
Here's our exit strategy.
If we go long bell-bottoms...
Bell-bottoms may be part of a different cycle.
I think the mini-skirts is where we should be headed.
Oh, baby.
Now you're talking my kind of 70s.
That's beautiful.
I don't know.
According to our president, there's all kinds of opportunities, all kinds of things happening, and we all know where that leads to the conspiracy theories.
You know, we are at an inflection point, I believe, in the world economy.
Not just the world economy, in the world.
It occurs every three or four generations.
As one of the top military people said to me in a secure meeting the other day, 60 million people died between 1900 and 1946.
What the hell is he talking about?
I can barely understand him.
He was in a secure meeting the other day, and they told him that 60 million people...
If it's a secure meeting, why are you talking about what was discussed in the secure meeting?
And what is this about?
I'll put that bit again here.
As one of the top military people said to me in a secure meeting the other day, 60 million people died between 1900 and 1946.
And since then, we established a liberal world order, and that hadn't happened in a long while.
A lot of people died, but nowhere near the chaos.
And now is the time when things are shifting.
There's going to be a new world order out.
Listen!
I know it's hard to understand, but you're talking over the best bits.
You know, they had to make a couple of things here.
One, we usually bitch about each other's clips when they're shitty clips.
But not when the guy himself is like, he can barely enunciate.
He's mumbling, I know.
It's very hard.
Did this happen after he went over?
When was this recorded?
This was...
What was the circumstance?
Was he in the middle of the night?
It's the business roundtable.
It's a thing presidents visit every year, and it's a bunch of CEOs and jag-offs.
Okay, I won't say anything.
It's 13 seconds, you'll get it.
That hadn't happened in a long while.
A lot of people died, but nowhere near the chaos.
And now's the time when things are shifting.
There's going to be a new world order out there.
There it is.
And we've got to lead it.
We've got to unite the rest of the free world in doing it.
I mean, this is the same thing Reagan said.
Not Reagan, Bush.
There's a new world order out there.
We're going to lead it.
Thanks, Joe.
We're not leading with you in charge.
Remember, New World Order was just some crazy conspiracy theory.
But now it's like, oh yeah, New World Order.
So the war in Ukraine, again, it was knocked off television, basically, here in the U.S. for Ketanji Brown-Jackson.
Now we break for some other...
I think they could get more political mileage out of Brown Jackson than out of Zelensky.
Zelensky is almost over.
He has overplayed his hand.
Did you see what happened to him in Israel?
What happened?
So we know he was going to every single party.
He went to the EU Parliament and spoke from his bunker and said, hey man, this is just like World War II. You've got to help me out.
Then he spoke to Congress.
Did you see someone created that image, the comparison between sitting, watching Zelensky and the Apple 1984 commercial?
Yeah.
It's exactly the same.
Anyway, so there he's like, oh, you know, this is really, this is like Pearl Harbor.
Imagine that's what happened.
It's going to happen to your children.
And then he went to the Knesset and he said, this is just like the Holocaust.
And the Israeli government went, excuse me, pump the brakes, bro.
Nothing's like the Holocaust.
Back off!
They were not having it.
They were not having it.
No, I have a clip from one of the spokesmen from Israel.
I don't know if it's the prime minister.
They just sell like it is.
They've got nothing to do with this.
Let's play.
Which one is this?
Oh, Israel and Israel.
Got it.
Activities in Ukraine.
Not just weapons, but even not helmets and not other forms of military supplies.
We're not there.
It's not our war.
We don't have any American military presence in Israel.
No.
We're not dependent upon US troops in any way.
We simply do not want to be under any kind of dictate on this or that method.
Relations with Russia, it's a long-term strategic interest.
It's not going to change.
So Israel will continue the cooperation with Russia, notwithstanding the position of the West of the United States.
We simply don't change anything.
Israel doesn't join any sanctions.
Israel does help Ukraine to deal with humanitarian issues.
Yes, we opened their hospital and there is a lot of humanitarian help coming from Israel, but no whatsoever military supply, military intervention.
It's not going to change.
It's not going to change.
Well, that's interesting.
How come Israel's not getting cancelled?
I mean, they're canceling anybody who does anything for Russia or has any work in Russia.
Or, like, the Coke Industries who said, no, we're not going to close our glass factory.
Now they're going after any politician who has received donations from the Coke, so they have to stand up and revoke it and give it back.
And so this is a serious cancellation, but Israel gets a pass.
Yeah.
And it, of course, is because of Syria.
Yeah.
We know.
That's why they're working in tandem with Russia.
But I don't know.
It's fine.
Luckily, stuff is starting to come out.
Let's talk about Ukraine.
What you just heard is not being one of the things.
One reason they get it passed is none of this is being reported.
Where was that even from, that clip?
Where do you think?
RT? Yep.
I got a really good series of clips from RT and it's like, it's clips you listen to and you have to check out.
It's all true.
It's not like they're lying.
The clips, they do lie on RT like every place else.
Let me just say something.
Can anyone within the West, not Eurasia, can anyone imagine possibly that we are the dicks this time?
This is what I don't understand, this complete no questioning of the governments of the West.
Of course, we have the moral high ground.
What if?
What if?
Without us, no, really, because we didn't pay attention.
Our leaders, our elected, what if they're the dicks?
Is this so hard to imagine?
You don't need to answer.
With stammering Biden as president.
I know.
It's like, come on.
Who looks kind of weak here?
Anyway.
Well, I have a series of three.
I don't know if I want to jump to these.
Oh, I see.
I do have a Brown Jackson shoe and NPR clip.
I told you.
I told you you had one.
We can't do it now.
No, it's over.
We're done with that.
I don't know.
Let me set the stage while you regroup.
I was thinking of doing these historic clips.
Yeah, I want you to do those.
I want you to do those clips.
But I want to read this one little piece with one page here, one paragraph.
If you are in the Peace Corps, you can be deployed to go help in Ukraine.
Makes sense?
That's what the Peace Corps does.
They do, however, have a notice.
Yeah.
I've got an interesting thing about this notice, which you have, I said.
Yes, of course.
I have a copy.
There was a tweet that was put up that somebody pointed out was part of this.
It was a tweet from one of the trainees.
It was a Ukrainian tweet about a couple of trainees at that NATO training center, which was one of the things that the Russians bombed just outside the airport in Lviv.
Mm-hmm.
And there was two black guys, and the white guy, who was one of the Ukrainians, and there was two black Americans training troops in NATO, and I have a clip about that, too, from Scott Ritter, who's another issue himself, but...
And the guy's just ranting about the jungle bunnies.
There's all this racist stuff.
Let me read this.
They are racist.
Talking about not or ignoring the cancellation of Israel in terms of cancel culture.
How about the racism in Ukraine?
Now you can talk about this memo that came from the Peace Corps.
It's on their website, so you can look at it.
I'm just going to read one paragraph.
It is not uncommon for Ukrainians to refer to African Americans as, brackets, quotes, N-word, volunteers of color, may be called a monkey, or may see children's games with blackface.
Being aware of the history of dehumanization for people of African descent may help inform where this comes from.
It does not really.
It does not justify it.
Being aware of the history of the dehumanization for people of African descent may help inform where this comes from.
I'm not sure what that means.
It will be at your discretion to determine the intent.
How about racism?
No matter the intent, it's never about intent, it's about how it's received.
We all know this.
We got the programming from Robin DiAngelo.
Stupid Peace Corps.
No matter the intent, staff recognizes the impact that hearing that word may invoke hurt and anger.
If you view it as unlearned, something the person has never been exposed to, it may be an opportunity for you to educate that person.
We are here to support your successful service and these comments and images can be a huge distraction and obstacle to you.
Know that Peace Corps staff is here to support and encourage you to not hesitate to remove yourself from such situations.
You are not expected to be subjected to such treatment.
I mean, wow.
That's pretty bad.
It is.
We've never had any association with Ukraine historically as a country.
As somebody else pointed out someplace.
Well, not publicly, but yeah, we've smuggled weapons, people, money.
Yeah, there's a reason why you don't hear about it.
Getting a piece of the purisma action, there's all this stuff.
Yeah.
Which is all coming to the fore again.
But somebody pointed out, you know, Trump couldn't get $1 or $2 billion for his wall, but we'd gladly send $14 billion to Ukraine.
Now you sound like an AM talk guy.
I do.
I do.
I sound like an AM talk guy.
Hey, give me some static.
You do.
Okay, now it's tough.
Let's do your clips.
There are some radios that get good reception from AM.
Let's do your clips.
Okay, now this is an interesting little series.
Now this was done by a guy who was kind of a commentator who was in Serbia.
And this was run, this is about the 1999 NATO attacks on Yugoslavia.
After a 1995 strike, And these were all orchestrated by, of all people, Madeleine Albright, who just died.
Just passed away.
She died.
We say passed away.
You can say whatever you want.
Nobody says passed away.
Okay.
Okay, we'll send your nasty notes to me for saying she died.
You go watch tonight, you see.
She passed away at the age of 84.
They won't say she died.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
She passed away.
So she dropped dead just a couple days ago.
There you go.
She was responsible for this, but they play this on RT again.
Today's RT day.
Which is banned in this country.
Yeah.
Because the point is that what we did in Serbia is exactly what the Russians are doing in Ukraine.
It was a sovereign country with sovereign borders and we helped a breakaway area break away.
Would you say we were dicks in that case?
I think we were dicks.
Everybody kind of thought so.
But let's play these clips from the guy who was a 10-year-old at the time lamenting the whole situation.
This is the 1999 attacks on Yugoslavia part one.
Today marks exactly 23 years since NATO's bombing of Yugoslavia.
The airstrikes lasted for 78 days and left hundreds of civilians dead.
Local correspondent Boris Malagurski reports.
A horrific bombing campaign.
Horrific.
And it started on this day in 1999.
Today our armed forces joined our NATO allies in airstrikes against Serbian forces.
Support for NATO's illegal war on Serbia was almost unanimous among U.S. politicians.
I have supported the NATO bombings.
What advice would you give President Clinton this very morning?
Just don't lose your resolve.
Not to say there wasn't any criticism.
And the most obscene chapter in recent American history is the conduct of the Kosovo conflict when the President of the United States refused to prepare for ground operations.
How obscene.
America not sending in ground troops right away.
What?
To occupy all of Serbia?
We should go to Belgrade and we should have a Japanese-German-style occupation of that country and we should have public trials.
Does anyone even remember any of this?
I was in Serbia when the bombing started.
I was 10 years old and I remember the air raid sirens.
To me, this came out of the blue.
But the stage for this was set before NATO's bombing started.
Throughout the 1990s, American politicians and media outlets were bent on waging war against the Serbs in the Balkans.
I was suggesting we bomb Belgrade.
I was suggesting that we send American pilots in and blow up all the bridges on the Drina.
Yeah, way to go.
Warmonger Joe.
I know, of course it is.
Warmonger Joe.
Yeah, thanks for suggesting that.
And the other one was John McCain, who said we should send in troops.
Yep, bomb them.
He was the dissenter.
And there was also Bernie Sanders in there.
Was he up for bombing?
Yeah.
Yeah, way to go, people.
Yeah, we're no dicks.
So, of course, this is done as this is played out in these clips to point out that we are dicks.
Hypocrites.
And I might want to point out that before this happened, a lot was going on.
In 95, the famous Sebronica Massacre.
Because what happened was the United Nations had sent in their peacekeeping troops, the Blue Helmets, and the Dutch Battalion, the Dutch Bat, were unable to stop a town, Srebrenica, being overrun and everyone getting massacred.
And I think there's still investigations as to exactly what happened.
So there was all kinds of escalation leading up to this 99 stuff.
And honestly, I was...
Running a public company, I paid no attention to it.
I wish I had.
I had no idea how horrible all this was.
This is the time we also got the rare opportunity to send a cruise missile to the Chinese embassy by accident.
Well, it was just a friendly knock.
Here you go, part two.
When NATO first bombed the Serbs in Bozi and Herzegovina in 1995, Time magazine said the massive bombing attack opened the door to peace.
But in 1999, the excuse was Kosovo, Serbia's southern province in which the so-called KLA, or Kosovo Liberation Army, conducted terrorist attacks on Serb civilians and security forces with the aim of Kosovo seceding from Serbia.
Under the pretext that Serbia was using excessive force in their counterinsurgency operations, the U.S. sided with the Albanian KLA rebels.
Our goals at the beginning were to rid Kosovo of Serbs.
And they did.
Following the bombing campaign, over 160,000 Serbs, or 75% of them, fled Kosovo.
But that still wasn't enough.
So in 2008, much of the West recognized Kosovo as an independent country in violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1244 and Serbia's territorial integrity and sovereignty.
America's pledge to militarily intervene in the Balkans went beyond Serbia's borders.
I will continue with every fiber in my being to keep America involved with troops that can shoot and kill to protect the rights of the Albanians wherever they reside in the Balkans.
Hey man, that Biden talk like that, wasn't that, was that seen as American back in the day?
I mean, how was that perceived?
Because I don't really remember this, but that sounds like a, I mean, would that even go over today saying it like that?
I don't think so.
I don't think so either.
What a warmonger.
What a horrible man.
Well, that's why I could never get elected president until it became stupid.
And then Lady G's in there too.
Lindy Hop Graham.
Lindy Hop Graham.
It's the same people.
It's the same people.
Same people.
Same people.
They've been in office too long.
They got some sort of scam going on.
And add to that list Amy Klobuchar.
She has her paw prints all over Ukraine as well.
Can't believe I actually liked her for president.
We're with the finish of this little item.
Many warned NATO's bombing would set a dangerous precedent.
But for me, as a 10-year-old kid, just watching Serbian television was scary enough.
22 NATO missiles fell on the village Bogutovac near Kraljevo.
Deadly cargo was dropped on the residential part of the village.
We're striking hard at Serbia's machinery of repression while making a deliberate effort to minimize harm to innocent people.
On the hit list were local hospital and primary school.
In 78 days, 420,000 missiles, including depleted uranium bombs and banned cluster bombs, fell on Serbia.
They fell on our infrastructure, factories, television stations, hospitals, schools, kindergartens, on innocent civilians.
Nobody ever apologized to Serbia for the bombing.
Nobody was tried nor punished for the bombing.
You've probably forgotten about this, and most of us have moved on to more pressing topics.
But I can't move on.
I will always remember what NATO did to my country.
And I don't think their war hawks can become peace doves without recognizing the harm they've done to millions in the past.
Hmm.
The question on my mind immediately would be, thinking environmentally, did they ever go and clean up the depleted uranium?
That stuff is highly carcinogenic.
Yeah, that's been a topic for a long, long time.
There was something that goes along with this.
Um...
Because I think that Biden called Putin a war criminal, kind of like an offhanded type thing.
And supposedly Vladimir is very upset by that.
And I thought I had a report that they're going to charge him for war crimes, which would be interesting because we don't really recognize the International Criminal Court ever.
I may have a clip on this.
I thought I had it.
It was covered extensively.
I thought I had it.
Yeah, the clip's war crimes.
Here we go.
Oh, you got it?
Yes.
Oh, those are beautiful.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken says the U.S. is gathering evidence of war crimes in Ukraine and is promising to hold Russia to account.
What's more, he says the U.S. government has already assessed that, quote, members of Russian forces have committed war crimes in Ukraine.
And Pierce Michelle Kellerman joins us with more.
Hi, Michelle.
Hi there, Ari.
Tell us more about these U.S. allegations.
So the Ambassador-at-Large for Global Criminal Justice, Beth Van Skok, says her office has been going over intelligence reports and public information, and they've concluded that Russian forces have carried out war crimes.
She didn't really give a lot of examples, though she did mention, for instance, the bombing of a maternity hospital in Mariupol.
Not again.
I got this clip from yesterday.
We have another one here.
Hold on a second.
This one was also quite good, in particular because we have the receipts as to what really happened.
In the meantime, video verified by ABC News shows the moment a missile hit a shopping mall in Kiev, killing at least eight people.
Russia says the Ukrainians were using the abandoned mall to store weapons and ammunition.
Here's a look at the vast facility before the strike and after.
Much of it reduced to rubble.
It is time to rub a lice!
Now, what the report allegedly said There's video from the sky where you can see a rocket launcher driving to that mall, getting up behind it in the parking lot, and launching rockets continuously.
And then you see this happening for like a minute and a half, and then you see a missile come down in that rocket launcher, and the mall is gone.
But the mall is empty, and the people who died were probably in the rocket launcher.
So, yeah, I mean, that's so easy to verify.
It's horrible.
The reporting is horrible, and it's about time that the public got pissed off about it and said, stop.
Yeah, well, they did stop.
They gave you Comanji Brown-Jackson.
They stopped with the war.
This is my favorite.
Ukrainian government is refusing to allow transgender women to leave the country, along with millions of women and children refugees who have been streaming into Poland and other European nations.
The Ukrainian border guards are turning them back, saying, yo, you're a dude, you're supposed to fight.
I'm not kidding.
I mean, how can this be accepted?
How can this be the fun-loving Ukraine that we all talk about?
They have some real issues that you would get cancelled in a heartbeat in America or anywhere in the West for this nonsense.
They've got to be beside themselves supporting this country to this extreme.
I mean, it's pretty much all, you know, whatever you want, we'll give you.
Why?
Yeah.
Let's see.
I do have a couple of...
I know you have more.
Let's see.
Well, I've got the emergency meeting at the G7AO on NPR. It's kind of interesting.
Yeah, that we need to do.
Emergency meeting.
Yes.
Is this where Biden is going for this meeting?
Yes.
Leaders of NATO and the G7 hold an emergency summit this week in Brussels to discuss the war in Ukraine.
But Ukrainian officials are hoping for more than speeches and pledges of solidarity.
Ukraine wants weapons and sanctions to fight back against Russia.
NPR's Jason Bobian joins us from Lviv.
Hey, Jason.
Hey, Ari.
First, let me ask you about reports that Russia has lost...
Somewhere between 7,000 and 15,000 troops already in the first month of the war.
Even the low end of that number is wildly high.
Give us some perspective on this.
Is this NPR? I love that.
It's wild.
It's kind of high, don't you think?
Even the low end of that number is wildly high.
Give us some perspective on this.
Hey, John, give me some perspective on this.
Yeah, I mean, this is getting a lot of play here.
People are paying attention to this.
These reports are coming from unnamed NATO officials, and they are estimates.
But if these numbers are true, at least 7,000 dead, those are devastating losses for the Russians.
To put this in context, the U.S. lost 2,500 service members in Afghanistan over the course of two decades.
So this number of deaths for the Russians in just the first four weeks is staggering.
Alright, now let's turn to the upcoming meetings in Brussels.
NATO leaders and leaders from the G7 are gathering specifically to discuss the crisis in Ukraine.
What do Ukrainians hope to come out of this?
You know, to try to get a better sense of that, I spoke today with the former Ukrainian president, Petro Poroshenko.
He was president from 2014 to 2019.
Poroshenko says what Ukraine needs right now from the international community are even harsher economic sanctions on Russia and more weapons to fight Russian troops on the ground.
We need anti-aircraft, anti-missiles and jet fighter.
Yes.
All right, well, I just send it to them.
Makes sense.
They need it.
Unnamed NATO sources.
That's what he says.
Let's do it.
Unnamed NATO sources.
Let's do it.
Unnamed.
Get someone on the record, NPR. No, it's easier not to.
Let's play part two of that.
Given that NATO has rejected requests for a no-fly zone, Poroshenko wants NATO to donate any MiG fighters that they can get their hands on to Ukraine.
Ukraine wants MiGs because these are the planes that their pilots have been trained on and know how to fly.
How optimistic is he that NATO and European allies will come through with more military support?
He believes that they will, but he is concerned that that support might not come fast enough.
He makes the argument that Ukraine is just the first step in Putin's military efforts.
Next, Putin might go after the Baltic states, he says, or try to annex Moldova.
His message to the world is...
This is not you assisting or helping Ukraine.
This is not true.
You're investing in your own security.
And that's why it's so important.
Tomorrow, NATO meeting.
He wants even more sanctions against Russia, and he wants pledges that the international community is going to help repair the billions and billions of dollars in damages that Ukraine has already suffered in this war.
Of course, you have to remember, he is the original American puppet.
He was the one that was installed by Newland.
So he's going to be a mouthpiece for us.
No, Yachts was installed first.
I thought Poroshenko was because he's the one who's voted out.
Yeah, he was.
Okay, now I'm not sure.
There's too many names that end with E or show.
I know, it's impossible.
I can't keep it straight.
But he's still a puppet.
I have the CIA broadcast system's version of the NATO G7 meeting report.
In just a few hours, President Biden will meet with NATO and European leaders for an historic summit.
He just arrived in Brussels for the emergency meeting as the West aims to show Vladimir Putin it is united against Ukraine through more military aid and more sanctions on Russia.
This comes as the war in Ukraine reaches the one month mark and the Ukrainian resistance has surprised many, with the Pentagon saying 10 percent of Russia's forces have been taken out.
And in another blow to Putin, a government insider reportedly quit and left Russia.
That's the highest profile defection so far.
Well, today, the U.S. took a significant step, formally accusing Russian troops of committing war crimes, bombing schools and hospitals and killing civilians.
The Secretary of State said America will work with others to prosecute the offenders.
There it is.
By the way.
We'll work with others.
Work with others.
So I didn't have this clip, but that NPR clip on the war crimes continued for a long time.
It was a long clip.
And they discussed how we're going to go about these war crimes because we're not signing on to the International Criminal Court.
Nope.
And they went on and on.
And then they suddenly said, well, Biden has pulled back on Trump's You know, hatred of the ICC and maybe we'll be joining the ICC. So we can throw Bush in jail.
That's the first thing that came to mind.
Beautiful.
Oh, I love that.
People keep forgetting that Bush and Cheney are considered war criminals by the ICC. And then we can also throw Fauci and other people behind bars for their crimes against humanity.
That's not going to happen.
We know it's not going to happen.
Now, have you seen the pictures of rescue efforts in Ukraine?
I know it kind of got snowed over by the Senate hearings.
No, the last time I saw a rescue effort was the maternity hospital.
Yeah, and did you notice any rescue workers with white helmets?
I didn't, no.
They're in.
The White Helmets are in.
Funding from Foreign and Commonwealth Office UK, permanent mission of the Netherlands to the UN, USAID, and the governments of Holland, Japan, Denmark, France, and Qatar, all through the Red Crescents.
This is why these guys are, as we know, they're very skilled in false flag chemical weapon attacks.
These are the guys, and it's admitted.
It's not even on video.
There was an investigation, a UN-based investigation that showed that the White Helmets faked the Syrian chemical weapons attacks.
Yes, that's been well documented.
Yes, and so there they are again.
That's unbelievable.
This reminds me, I think I mentioned this on Horowitz's DHM Plugged, which is the, they keep bringing this Russian playbook.
The Russian playbook.
Chemical weapons, that's in the Russian playbook.
And I asked a simple question.
Give me one example when the Russians ever used chemical weapons in one of their war battles.
Did they ever do it in Afghanistan?
When did they do it?
Where's it in the playbook?
Yep.
So this is something we do.
This is our playbook.
I don't know if I have...
I thought I had a clip about the playbook, too.
Well, meanwhile, I'll just play a short clip because this will be transition.
People are very concerned about the, you know, I think the anxiety is very high amongst people.
Oh, this is horrible.
We're seeing, you know, we need things to help us.
We already learned about the comfort cushion.
This is a new medical device that you could use to reduce your anxiety.
And we have a bonus to that.
Next, a different look for Ukrainian President Zelensky.
It's a souvenir gaining fans around the world.
A European designer has made a pillow featuring Zelensky's face.
It's handmade and shows him smiling and wearing military gear.
Proceeds will benefit the Ukrainian war effort.
Did you hear that somebody has made the claim that Zelensky's in Poland and everything he's doing is on a green screen?
Well, yes.
And definitely, we already proved that him walking in Maidan Square was not an outside sound, for sure.
The audio was not outside sound.
And he's in his so-called bunker.
Yeah, of course he's on a green screen.
He might even be in Biden's basement.
Who knows where the guy is?
Biden's basement is set up for it.
But I'd like the end of this clip if you listen to what the last words are here.
Next, a different law of proceeds will benefit the Ukrainian war effort.
Okay, so proceeds will benefit the Ukrainian war effort.
Seriously.
Does that mean it's buying more guns?
Yeah.
What exactly does it mean supporting...
You just said it.
Or does it support Russia against...
I mean, what is it?
That doesn't sound right to me, Nora.
No.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Every dollar he gives a dollar.
I have proof of my previous assertion.
Tributes are pouring in tonight for a titan of 20th century diplomacy.
Madeleine Albright, the first woman to serve as U.S. Secretary of State, has died of cancer at the age of 84.
Died?
Died?
You got it?
She served under President Bill Clinton.
And in a statement the former president and Hillary Clinton said of Albright tonight, few leaders have been so perfectly suited for the times in which they served.
Damn it.
You beat me.
I thought it would be she passed away.
She died.
She died.
Well, that is better than drop dead.
If I die before you, please have them say that.
Adam Curry, drop dead.
Okay?
That would be funny.
I have to make a note.
Listen to what he said.
He says what he wants.
Not for in-depth discussion, but mintpressnews.com, I think.
Whitney Webb is part of that, although this is not one of her pieces, has a very, very detailed breakdown of all the PR agencies, DC lobbying firms, CIA agents, all working on the messaging.
The messaging, it appears, was quite well planned with up to 150 public relations firms being hired and brought in to manage the narrative.
It's really good, and they have a lot of examples, but it's something you need to kind of read through.
I would read through that, because the thing that's been bothering me a lot about this is the propaganda and the way it's being dealt with and the way that they promote the idea that the Russians...
Are somehow propagandizing us.
Yeah.
That shows how good we are to convince people that that's true.
There's only one country in the world that's as good as we are with propaganda.
Us.
Yeah.
We're the masters.
We're the only ones who have advertising that drives, that even sells drugs.
We even sell prescription drugs with advertising.
Phone finger number one!
The Chinese and the Russians, their mercantile abilities are minor compared to us.
That's why, you know, we can sell stuff and they can't even do a simple ad.
The Chinese, you know, best price is about as best as they can do.
The closest they get.
It's true.
When you want marketing, you turn to the United States.
So everything is just a smokescreen.
The fog of war.
That's another.
That one just came up.
Who brought that into the fray to make it so everyone says it?
Oh, well, we don't know because of the fog of war.
Oh, we don't know because of the fog of war.
I think it's always said when...
It's never been said in my lifetime.
Oh, please.
I don't remember.
No one ever said during the Vietnam War they never said the fog of war.
Hmm.
And they're referring specifically to the fact that you don't get all the facts.
Right.
They do say the truth is always the first casualty.
In the frog of war.
The whole thing is the frog of war.
Frog of war.
It's even better.
So I love how they're bringing in anybody.
And this is actually, I think this is Bloomberg.
Frog of war.
That's interesting.
We went from toad toxin to frog of war.
Hmm.
One of our producers is getting clips from Bloomberg.
And I don't have a subscription to Bloomberg.
I refuse.
It's too expensive.
Can't rip it.
And those guys, impenetrable.
Their paywall.
And there's some funny stuff that's on Bloomberg.
And I'm glad our producer, I think it's Glenn, is collecting this for us.
Hey everybody, welcome back.
I'm joined today by an independent journalist and author named Zarina Zabriskie, who has been speaking with people who know some folks that are inside Chernobyl and in neighboring towns.
Zarina, welcome.
Yes, hi.
Thank you so much for taking my material and giving it the attention.
I did speak to the engineer from the Chernobyl nuclear PowerPoint They have weaponized PowerPoint.
Yes, the nuclear PowerPoint.
They have nuclear PowerPoint.
They have weaponized Microsoft.
By the way, that is an actual thing that Zelensky was calling for.
Let me see where this is.
He was calling for Oracle and Microsoft and I think even...
Apple to do better.
Microsoft, SAP, and Oracle.
You need to punish.
Punish Russia more.
And I don't know if you saw this.
Oh, shoot.
I can't get it now.
It's on RT. They had a great article.
There was a study that was done.
I'm going to see it.
It was sometimes refreshing a million times.
We'll bring it back.
A couple of things.
Well, here's the headline.
Vaccinated people more likely to support harsh anti-Russian measures with the subcontext being unvaccinated are carrying water for Putin.
There's a second one that came out that shows the same correlation, only you were more of a warmonger with one shot, even more with two shots, and really one with three shots.
Okay.
Now, I posted this thing that you're talking about on the No Agenda Social over a week ago.
Mm-hmm.
And I, with a disclaimer, I have looked on this source, source ECOS, I think it's E-K-O-S, it's a research company in Canada.
Yeah.
I can't find anything on their website that confirms that this is real.
This is a hoax.
Unless somebody gets me a link to the source, there is no link to the source.
It just says, you know, it's like saying source, you know, pew, whatever.
And then there's, you go to pew, there's nothing.
This is bull crap.
Hmm.
Well, I, if somebody finds me a link to it, I'll, I'll, I'll renege on this one.
But I have seen this.
I've researched it.
I looked at both the...
I looked for the company that did the graphic.
Okay, so ecospolitics.com?
Is that the website?
No, it's ecos...
I think it's ecosresearch.com, something like that, whatever.
But believe me, I found the site, and they do all this kind of research, but there was nothing on their news site, in the press releases, on the current research being done.
It just wasn't there.
You start thinking about who's going to do this.
But listen, I'm looking at ecospolitics.com.
And there's a contact there for the president, ECOS Research.
You can email him or even call him with his phone number.
And here is this article, Public Attitudes to Ukraine Conflict by Vaccine Acceptance.
And it has the same things in there.
I'm looking for the actual, click here for the copy of the data tables.
I think it's real, John.
Well, I mean, like I said, I'm looking for a link.
I looked at, there could be a different company with the same name.
Could be, but this looks pretty legit.
I went up the wrong alley, but until I see it for myself, I'm not buying it.
Okay, well, you don't have to buy anything because it's free.
I'm not buying it anywhere.
I'm too cheap.
It's free in the show notes.
I just put it in for you.
Okay, I'll go look at it.
I'll continue.
I mean, I'm hoping it's true.
It looks good to me.
I mean, I think it's funny.
There's no doubt about that.
That's the whole point.
No, you want to know what's funny?
Millennial press reporters screaming at the president as he's walking back from his helicopter to the White House.
Now, this is funny.
Mr.
President, will you speak to Russian President Vladimir Putin?
Mr.
President, will you speak to Putin?
Putin?
Will you speak to Putin, Mr.
President?
Putin!
He's Putin!
Will you speak to Putin?
Putin!
Putin!
Just keep saying Putin!
No wonder he's not listening to you, you dope!
You don't know who Putin is!
Who's Putin?
Who's this Putin guy?
Oh my goodness.
This drop tea is getting on my nerves.
Mr.
President!
This is a professional reporter that's in the White House press corps, obviously, or wouldn't be there, yelling Putin.
Now here's something that I just got today, which I really need to look into.
From the Wall Street Journal.
U.S. rethinks uranium supply for nuclear plants after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Subtext, subhead, much of the enriched uranium used to fuel plants globally is controlled by Russia.
Calls to increase domestic output.
Thanks to us.
I'm pretty sure this links right back to Uranium One.
It has to.
And of course, there's no mention of Uranium One in the article.
But what paper was it?
The Wall Street Journal.
Well, they're all in cahoots.
Yeah.
But this is exactly what Hillary Clinton was involved in, and that was corruption, because it was payoffs through the Clinton Foundation.
Of course, no one paid any attention to it, because Trump...
Can I read something?
Please.
Now, first of all, this is the headline, this is a New York Times article, and I want to deconstruct it, and I can read as much as you can stomach, because the whole thing is so funny to read, because it's loaded with...
You know, these kinds of wrong, propagandistic terms.
And it's called, Ashley Biden's diary was shown at Trump fundraiser.
Weeks later, Project Veritas called her.
Do you know about this story?
Yes, I do.
Do you know about Ashley Biden's diary?
Yes, I do.
Do you remember it during the election, it being a big issue?
Well, of course not, because it was...
And if anything, you are not allowed to talk about stolen material.
I think that's what the line was.
So, I don't remember anything about the Ashley Biden diary until just recently.
It implies that she was sexually abused, all kinds of stuff.
Yeah.
Well, this is written by two guys, Michael Schmidt and Adam Goldman, and two of them are both Pulitzer Prize winners.
And this is which publication?
New York Times.
Mm-hmm.
And the Pulitzer Prize, they won.
One of them won the Pulitzer Prize for the coverage of the Russia connection to the Trump election in 2016.
A bogus prize that should be returned.
That's like Milli Vanilli winning a Grammy.
And the other one won a Pulitzer Prize for the coverage of the Trump impeachment and its connections to Russia.
Shh!
Which should be returned.
Okay, so these two guys wrote this.
I just want to read a couple.
Right-wing groups, deceptive call, and they're talking about Veritas.
And they use the word deceptive.
They can't just say call.
But the right-wing groups, they're not really right-wing.
They're conservative.
Veritas?
Mm-hmm.
Deceptive, to use the word, this thing's loaded.
To the president's daughter a month before the election day is among the new details that show how the organization, Veritas, worked to expose personal information about the Biden family.
Oh my God!
So they're trying to expose personal information?
Oh no!
You guys were running for president and they wanted personal information.
Okay, here's the article.
A month before the 2020 election, Joseph R. Biden Jr.'s daughter, Ashley, received a call from a man offering to help.
Striking a friendly tone, the man said that he had found a diary that he believed belonged to Ms.
Biden and that he wanted to return it to her.
Miss Biden had in fact kept a diary the previous year as she recovered from addiction.
Again, another thing I didn't know.
And had stored it with some other belongings at her friend's home in Florida where she had been living until a few months earlier.
So she was on the move.
The diary's highly personal contents...
And I guess that's bad.
If publicly disclosed, could prove an embarrassment or a distraction to her father at a critical moment in the campaign.
Who knows?
Duh!
She agreed with the caller to send someone to retrieve the diary the next day.
But Ms.
Biden was not dealing with a good Samaritan.
The man on the other end of the phone worked for Project Veritas, a conservative group that had become a favorite of President Donald J. Trump, according to interviews with people familiar with the sequence of events.
So you had to say, you could have just dropped it with, Favorite of Trump and left it at that.
Because I think they probably were.
Maybe not.
But who's going to question that?
But they screw it up by saying, according to the interviews, plural, with people familiar with the sequence of events.
Yeah, that's a really good line.
That's like, what?
I'm familiar with the sequence of events.
I am too.
From a conference room at the group's headquarters in Westchester County, surrounded by other top members of the group, the caller was seeking to trick Ms.
Biden into confirming the authenticity of the diary.
By the way, journalists do this all the time.
Yeah.
It's illegitimate, but they do it.
The authenticity of the diary, which Project Veritas was about to purchase from two intermediaries for $40,000.
Now, I will say this, in the high-end journalist community, you don't buy stories.
Yeah, but I think that got thrown out the window a long time ago.
The caller did not identify himself as being affiliated with Project.
They keep hounding on this according to accounts.
Here we go again.
According to accounts from two people with knowledge of the conversation.
Now, you do know that Veritas and the New York Times are embroiled in legal issues.
As mentioned in here.
But I'm not going to read that part.
Yeah, Veritas sued them.
And the most interesting thing is that the Department of Justice spied on Veritas journalists.
That's now coming out.
And no one's even apologizing for it.
They looked at their emails.
They got phone records.
They did a full number on them.
Journalists...
Yeah, well, they're considered not journalists by the New York Times.
That's what they're trying to get at.
Oh, I see.
Okay, that makes sense.
By the end of the call, this is what this point is, the point.
By the end of the call, several of the group's operatives, and they don't use, you know, they use, instead of being a journalist or an operative, it means you're a spy, right?
When's that term ever used?
This is classic, right?
You only use operative in spycraft.
Who had either listened in, heard recordings of the call, or been told of it, believed, and told of it.
I heard there was a call.
Yeah, there was.
Good enough!
I'm running with it.
More than enough to confirm that it was hers.
Then it goes on.
I'm not going to read this one.
Okay, what's the conclusion of this?
The conclusion?
I don't know what the conclusion is.
I've read this thing a couple of times and it goes on and on.
What this does, it starts to confirm all the things we know about Hunter Biden.
I think, in my honest opinion, I think that this is part of the scheme to start bringing...
This is why I said I didn't know about the Ashley Biden stuff.
Mm-hmm.
I think this is just the idea is to bring this stuff in as well those terrible guys at Veritas and to reintroduce the information to get rid of Biden.
Very possible.
And there's one extra little thing that we've probably most have forgotten about.
In the photographic evidence, which we now know, according to reporters at the New York Times familiar with the matter and the investigation, that the laptop is bona fide.
There is also a picture retrieved from said laptop, which, when zoomed in, shows Malia Obama's coke-covered Goldman Sachs private banking credit card amidst some powdery substance in Hunter Biden's hotel room or Airbnb, wherever he was.
So I'm going to say that's probably legit, too.
I'm sure it is.
They'll put that aside because they don't want to lose focus on getting Joe out.
Yeah, but it's funny.
It's funny.
They can blackmail Obama with that.
And speaking of such, have you heard of the Larry Ray Sarah Lawrence case?
No, tell me.
Larry Ray, his daughter went to Sarah Lawrence, very famous, liberal arts college, women's school.
It's a greeting ground for top lesbians.
Yeah, well, and he actually moved...
No letters, please.
Thank you.
He actually moved in...
With his daughter into her dorm room for a couple of months.
And while he was there, he recruited a whole bunch of Sarah Lawrence students and brought them into high-end prostitution.
And like one girl was doing a million dollars a year just by herself.
And she was giving more to this Larry guy.
So this is the Sarah Lawrence sex cult case, which is odd because how can this be being run out of your, in essence, out of your school dormitory and no one knew about it, but...
The Justice Department, during this trial, and this guy is a real piece of work.
He's like, oh, I'm having a seizure in the middle of the courtroom and they have to drag him out and stop the case.
It's a classic Harvey Weinstein move.
But the Justice Department inadvertently...
Published a list of 121 clients to the case database, and it was supposed to be under seal.
They took it down, but not before several press outfits received and got this and captured and archived it.
The list, we don't have any names, of course, because why would the Daily Mail do that?
Includes lawyers, businessmen, socialites, Metropolitan Transit Authority executive, account executive at Amazon, former New York State Supreme Court judge.
Dude, this is a hot one.
This has got to leak.
Oh, yeah.
And this is going to be bad.
It's going to be bad.
Well, first they got to track down all the copies.
And, of course, if you have a copy, you say you got a copy of this thing and it was just still hot and you're just trying to track it down.
What would you do?
I'd immediately be telling everyone what the names were.
Right away?
No, I would immediately make 10 copies.
Oh, well, hello.
Oh, yes, of course.
You make 10 copies and spread them all over the place.
I put those names on the blockchain is what I do.
I'm telling you.
Right away, throw it on the blockchain.
Yeah, let's throw it on the blockchain.
Throw it there forever.
Put them on the blockchain.
Boom, you beat me on that one.
You're right.
I'm old school.
I'm making 10 little stupid copies that you're putting on the blockchain.
I mean, let's be honest.
Let's be a little modern about this.
Throw them on the blockchain.
I'm making floppy disks and you put them on the blockchain.
Oh, my goodness.
What'd you get here in the mail there, Bill?
Yeah, it came in the mail, Jim, the address of the editor-in-chief.
What's inside?
I don't know, this crazy-looking disc.
I don't know what that is.
Oh, my, my, my.
Let's see, there were a couple other things.
Well, anyway, I just wanted to make the point that these guys, by reintroducing the Ashley diary, to me, I'm not the only one that, I mean, you were, I guess, knew something, but I was in the dark about it.
Now I'm not anymore.
Why?
Why are they doing this?
Because they normally are trying to cover up everything about Well, now let's look at it.
It was the New York Times who said, yeah, this thing looks pretty real.
It's the New York Times that is bringing this back.
The New York Times is completely in cahoots with the Democrat Party.
You're right.
This is an operation.
It's Operation Take Down the Old Bumbling Joe.
Yes, I agree.
And I think that Joe is going to go.
And it is a reflection of Nixon resigning.
Joe's got to go.
Hey, this is good.
Joe's got to go.
That clip you played earlier in the show?
That I couldn't understand?
That's your reason right there why he's got to go.
They can't have this.
No.
I see in the cancellation of Russia, which continues, we see from Pravda, Now, this is Pravda.com.ua.
So, this is the Ukrainian Pravda, the truth from Ukraine.
Russia's elite want to eliminate Putin, and they have already chosen a successor, according to intelligence.
Well...
Russia today is aware of this, and they did a three-part, I got three clips on Kill Putin, that they break it down quite nicely.
In fact, the Ukrainian propaganda arm, which is run by us, obviously.
Remember when Georgia had this little conflagration with Russia?
Same outfits in the UK. Same outfits promoting it.
Do you remember all the websites that cropped out that were way too slick and they looked a little too polished?
Oh, yeah!
Member?
Are you saying member?
Really?
You're saying member?
Wow.
Like a leg.
Oh, there's a member over there.
I'm not buying your member.
I don't care what you're selling.
Member?
Okay, do you remember that?
Yes, of course.
Well, I think something similar is going on.
But Russia today, folks, they dug up all this kill Putin stuff and here I got some clips.
Since the start of the Russian offensive in Ukraine, there's been a great deal of speculation around the world about the future of Vladimir Putin and whether he even has one.
The Western media has been full of stories about his possible assassination.
It's ranged from being dethroned by oligarchs to a coup conducted by the armed forces, intelligence or secret services inside the Kremlin.
And yet, most of the theories are supposedly based on the claims of Ukraine's military intelligence.
It is known that Bortnikov and some other influential representatives of the Russian elite are considering various options to remove Putin from power.
In particular, poisoning, sudden disease, or any other coincidence, is not excluded.
It's so much better with the robot voice.
Poisoning taken out have even been voiced by a U.S. Senator.
Lindsey Graham made the call on Twitter, raising more than a few eyebrows.
And while Washington disavowed his call for action, the Senator himself has reaffirmed his commitment to the plot.
Do you still stand by her?
Yeah, I hope he'll be taken out one way or the other.
I don't care how they take him out.
I don't care if we send him to The Hague and try him.
I just want him to go.
He's a war criminal.
Nice little afterthought there.
Nice.
Very good.
These guys are nuts.
Let's go to part two.
Well, for more on this, we are joined live now by journalist and author Daniel Lazar.
Daniel, welcome to RT International.
Thank you for joining us.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Now, how do you think we should view these stories?
We've got senators calling for assassinations, newspapers discussing the way it should be carried out.
On the one hand, it's a very emotional time.
It's a time of conflict.
Or is this just par for the course during a time of conflict?
Well, it's really Orwellian.
I mean, it reminds me of those scenes in 1984 where the crowds would call for the death of Emanuel Goldstein, the enemy of the state.
Since at least 2011, 2010, the Americans have been demonizing Vladimir Putin.
The Democrats have been doing that especially.
And Putin has been built up into this kind of occult, magical figure who with a push of the button can cause all kinds of things to happen.
I mean, suddenly, supposedly, he personally installed Donald Trump in the White House in 2016.
It's just ridiculous.
And Putin was outmaneuvering the U.S. in a number of areas, in Libya in 2011 when he He opposed the air war against Gaddafi in 2014 when he took control of the Crimea and safeguarded the Sevastopol naval base.
And in 2015 when he intervened in Syria.
And each one of those acts made the U.S. more furious And it took out its fury on Putin.
You know, in particular, it demonized him.
It's just been completely bonkers.
Completely bonkers.
I like the Emanuel Goldstein reference.
That's pretty cool.
Yeah, I forgot all about Emanuel Goldstein, the enemy of the state.
He was the enemy of the state in 1984.
The book, the movie.
The book.
Yeah.
The book, the movie.
The book, the movie, the t-shirt.
The book and the movie.
The movie, by the way, if you've never seen that movie in 1984 for anyone out there, it's terrific.
It is.
And it'll look like a documentary to you.
Just watch.
Yeah, maybe.
This is the last clip.
Well, as you say, Russia and Putin, you know, have been much maligned in the media over the years.
We can't really be too surprised that stories like this are cropping up now, can we, given the background?
No, I mean, war brings out the worst in people.
But what it shows on the American podcast...
to see this conflict in rational terms.
Instead of seeing it as an unfortunate incident that broke out due to Mm hmm.
What effect do you think that these stories have on the readers?
And as a result of this, you know, Russians living abroad, what do you think the impact is of such rhetoric?
Oh, I think Russians living abroad are in growing danger.
I mean, we've seen reprisals against Russian artists, you know, who have been cancelled, their engagements cancelled.
It's getting ridiculous.
I mean, some store in Wisconsin, you know, banned Russian mustard.
A university in Milan canceled a course on Dostoevsky.
An orchestra in Wales, England, and Wales, Britain canceled a concert of works by Tchaikovsky.
It's ridiculous.
Yeah.
It's the total cancellation of the entire country.
And people are hypnotized and in on it.
It's fantastic to watch.
That's how good we are.
And they just ratcheted it up a little bit more.
Uh-oh!
Uh-oh!
Attention!
Attention!
Warning!
FBI Director Christopher Wray said today Russia appears to be preparing to launch cyber attacks in the U.S. Most cyber attacks don't just happen in an instant.
There's activity that leads up to it.
There's scanning and researching victims, scanning for vulnerabilities in the system.
Let's just be honest for a moment here.
Scanning is a load of crap.
Every country scans everybody's ports all the time.
China does it the most.
I can show you thousands of scans per hour on our own servers.
Oh yeah, that's been going on for decades.
It's port scanning.
Oh boy, yeah.
Oh my god, it's screwing.
Scanning.
Scanning for vulnerabilities in systems.
So there's a whole range of preparatory work, which is what we've been seeing.
A March 18th FBI bulletin obtained by CBS warned at least 23 U.S. companies that 140 Russian-linked IP addresses were scanning networks for vulnerabilities for use in potential future intrusions.
Oh, yeah.
The bulletin noted the tempo has increased since Russia invaded Ukraine and that five U.S. energy companies appear to be the hackers' current focus.
The magnitude of Russia's cyber capacity is fairly consequential.
By the way, a dude named Ben, protector of megawatts, confirms with me this is bullcrap.
And it's coming.
Russia has twice used cyber attacks to disrupt Ukraine's power grid.
And as President Biden prepares for a NATO conference on Ukraine, the alliance must decide if a Russian cyber attack on a NATO member would trigger a unified response.
We could see circumstances in which a collective response by the alliance to a cyberattack would be called by an ally.
That is absolutely something where we and other countries could bring capabilities to bear to help a country both defend itself and respond to a particular cyberattack.
Now I have a follow-up clip to this, but first I wanted to mention, and this came out March 4th, 2022, Ukraine, I'll just read this headline, while Ukraine is yet to become a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization,
the country has been accepted as a contributing participant to the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defense Center of Excellence, also known as CDCCCDCO. So, they are already collaborating with NATO in the modern weapons of war.
Well, here, play this clip.
I have a follow-up to this, but okay.
This is Scott Ritter talking about NATO and Ukraine doing training.
The Russians are not engaged in a battle of territorial acquisition.
Normally, when you seek to occupy somebody, you seek to seize territory, hold territory.
The territory becomes important.
Russia has two stated military objectives.
The first of which is denazification.
That is to destroy the military units that are aligned with neo-Nazi, ultra-nationalist political forces in Ukraine.
Units like the Azov Battalion.
Units like the Don Battalion and others of that ilk.
The Russians are seeking them out and destroying them on the field of battle as we speak.
The second is demilitarization.
That is, Russia has recognized that the Ukrainian military is a de facto proxy of NATO. It has been trained for the past seven years by U.S. forces, NATO forces at training facilities in Ukraine, training facilities out of Ukraine.
To be interoperable with NATO, meaning that you can take a NATO-trained battalion of Ukrainian soldiers, unplug them from Ukraine, plug them into a NATO exercise in Germany, and they'll function seamlessly.
They have the same command and control, the same training, the same tactics, etc.
Russia views this as a proxy of NATO and has said this must be dismantled.
Russia gave the Ukrainian military the opportunity to do this peacefully.
Stay in your barracks.
We're going to come in and we're going to get rid of all that NATO provided junk that you were given.
It's actually pretty good equipment.
But I mean, that's the process of demilitarization.
Or you can seek to meet us on the field of battle and we'll do it old school.
And unfortunately for both sides, the Ukrainians have chosen old school.
We should add that Scott Ritter, so people don't email us a million times, that Scott Ritter has been accused of, and I think it was, was he convicted of Yeah, he was...
I think he did a video or phone sex or something with a cop who was posing as a 15-year-old and he got arrested and he said, well, I knew, you know, this is just, you know, role play.
I knew it wasn't a kid.
And he went back and forth and it's like, okay, well, whatever.
The point is, is that, yes...
And I think he's maybe on the list.
So this is like, I don't know what it has to do with his ability since he was the UN weapons inspector.
And I don't know what his connections are.
He knows half the stuff that he talks about.
No, but it keeps him off the mainstream, obviously.
But it does keep him off the mainstream.
He doesn't get played at all.
And even if it's role-playing, creepy.
It's creepy.
He needs help.
Yeah.
In my opinion.
But it has nothing to do with his assessment of the situation, which I think is probably correct.
Now, back to the cyber thing.
So, you know, March 9th, there was a big cyber bill that was passed.
Go figure, not discuss much.
And I believe that there's now a capture taking place between CISA and the NSA and FBI and many other intelligence community members, organizations.
A capture of corporate America through technology, and they desperately want to integrate more into the corporations.
They want more insight, perhaps.
They want more access, perhaps.
They are making a lot of resources available, and all of a sudden, we got a new puppet on the scene this week, Ann Newberg, who is the assistant director, National Security Advisor, but in this case, she is billed as the White House Cyber Advisor, and she was brought on for a special presentation.
I cut two minutes of it.
It was about five minutes, so I took out the repetitive stuff, but it's very clear what they're going for here, and there's an ask at the end, and she is...
Very interesting.
This is probably her first time.
She may be on deck for future PR capabilities within the White House.
I think she may be tested out.
Now, of course, Jen Psaki, who is double vaxxed, double boosted, has gotten COVID for the second time.
Oh, has she?
Yes.
I did not know this.
I'm sorry to laugh, but yes.
Well, you know what?
It's funny.
For the second time.
Yeah, she's double boosted, double vaxxed.
She's loaded to the gills.
Twice COVID. Here's Ann Newberg.
This afternoon, the president released a statement and fact sheet regarding cyber threats to the homeland, urging private sector partners to take immediate action to shore up their defenses against potential cyber attacks.
We've previously warned about the potential for Russia to conduct cyberattacks against the United States, including as a response to the unprecedented economic costs that the U.S. allies and partners impose in response to Russia's further invasion of Ukraine.
Today, we are reiterating those warnings.
And we're doing so based on evolving threat intelligence that the Russian government is exploring options.
Evolving threat intelligence with people familiar with the matter.
For potential cyber attacks on critical infrastructure in the United States.
To be clear, there is no certainty there will be a cyber incident on critical infrastructure.
So why am I here?
Yeah.
So why are you here?
She just literally said that.
So why am I here?
She knew.
She's like, listen, when you say all this, make sure for those jack-offs and no agenda, you tell them why you're here because they're going to ask.
To be clear, there is no certainty there will be a cyber incident on critical infrastructure.
So why am I here?
Yeah.
Because this is a call to action and a call to responsibility for all of us.
At the President's direction, the administration has worked extensively over the last year to prepare to meet this sort of threat, providing unprecedented warning and advice to the private sector and mandating cybersecurity measures where we have the authority to do so.
For example, just last week, federal agencies convened more than 100 companies to share new cybersecurity threat information in light of this evolving threat intelligence.
During those meetings, we shared resources and tools to help companies harden their security, like advisory sourced from sensitive threat intelligence, and hands-on support from local FBI field offices and CISA regional offices, including their Shields Up program.
This is a lot of resources being pushed into corporate America.
I would be remiss if I didn't reiterate the president's thanks to Congress for its partnership in this effort, including making cybersecurity resources available in the bipartisan infrastructure law.
And most recently, for working across the aisle to require companies to report cyber incidents to the federal government.
That will ensure federal resources are focused on the most important cyber threats to the American people.
We welcome additional congressional work to identify new authorities that can help address gaps and drive down collective cybersecurity risk.
They want new authorities, John.
New authorities.
Come on, Congress.
Pass new authorities so we can get into everybody's network.
Bottom line, this is about us.
The work we need to do to lock our digital doors and to put the country in the best defensive position.
And there is them.
As the President has said, the United States is not seeking confrontation with Russia.
But he has also said that if Russia conducts disruptive cyber attacks against critical infrastructure, we will be prepared to respond.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I love the us versus them.
Yes.
The funny thing is, of course, that everybody knows that the Ukrainians are better at this than anyone.
I would not agree with that.
Ukrainians are very good, from what I understand from the dude's name, Ben, and I'm so glad that we have so many of them.
They call the Russian hackers ghosts because they are in your system, and if something happens, you won't be able to track them.
I believe the Russians are the best.
Ukraine are the most out there and do the most.
Well, I mean, okay, I can go along with that.
But the point is that if anyone's going to go after our infrastructures...
It's going to come from Ukraine.
It's going to come from Ukraine.
It's going to be the Ukrainians.
They're going to be mad that we didn't give them the MiG-29s.
Yep.
Those crappy Americans didn't help us out.
Let's just blast them.
You know, the Russians aren't going to do anything.
Or as you say, they get in, they get out, but they're stealth and they're not necessarily going to...
And again, if you remember this note and stuff, the CIA has all this gear that makes it look like the Russians did stuff.
That too, yeah.
So you can't trust...
If the whole grid went down, you couldn't trust.
It could be the Chinese, it could be North Koreans, who, as far as I can tell, can't do anything, but they get blamed for stuff.
It's nonsense.
This is bullcrap.
Yes.
Of course it's bullcrap, but if I were setting something up...
I'm setting up a great reset.
I've already promised the cyber pandemic and World War III. World War III is not going to be with nukes.
It's going to be cyber.
This is the beautiful thing about it.
Unlike a wag the dog story where you have to actually kill people and you've got to get rubble and all this, it's much easier to take down a piece of a grid.
Or let's turn off Gmail.
Or how about this?
If I were going to create an economy crippling hack, and I hate to say that the Russians may be listening to this incredibly good tip, I would take down Slack.
You take down Slack, the U.S. economy stops dead in its tracks.
And that is what I consider critical infrastructure.
And we've seen weird crap going on in the past week.
Cloudflare issues, DNS issues, connectivity issues, Apple, all kinds of services down, Gmail, Maps, Maps, Apple Maps.
That's critical infrastructure.
This brings me to another couple of clips.
Taking down slack, I think, is more in line with the Russian sense of humor.
Well, you know, Vlad and I discussed it over some vodka the other night, obviously.
He does seem to be laughing a lot.
Which reminds me of the prank that was just pulled by these two guys.
Vov and Dov, whatever their names are.
There's two shock jocks in Russia.
Oh, did they do another one?
They're always calling, like, Maxine Waters.
No, no, this time they called.
I have the old classic where they called Bojo and kept him on the phone for two and a half minutes.
Oh, that was good, too.
Yeah, I remember that.
But the latest one, I have that one, but I want to play the latest one.
This is the Minister of Defense, and they're rolling this out in sections, and this is the first section.
Minister of Defense of what?
Of the UK? Yeah, UK Minister of Defense.
And he was in his car.
He's in Poland.
And he's driving and they caught him on the car phone or something.
And they're yakking at him.
But these two guys have been doing this.
Well, the Bojo thing was in 2018.
And I think they've been doing these things just routinely for years.
And so our response was, oh, these guys are Russian spies.
Yeah.
They're two goofballs.
Yeah, they're disc jockeys.
Yeah, they're this classic...
Classic prank phone call.
Back to the 70s.
Oh, you're right.
Prank phone calls.
Prank phone calls were huge in the 70s.
Okay, here's how it goes.
They go like...
Excuse me, is your refrigerator running?
You might want to go and catch it then.
Oh!
That's what we used to do.
So here is this guy calling the Minister of Defense on his car.
Hello.
Hello.
How are you there?
I'm fine.
I'm in Poland.
Oh, okay.
Yes, I know.
We would like to continue the nuclear program in order to protect ourselves from Russia.
It's a difficult question, but we think to start it.
Okay.
But do you think...
I mean...
Wait, stop, stop.
The guy's presenting himself as Zelensky.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, that's important information.
I didn't realize that.
Yeah, I'm sorry I didn't do it at the beginning, because the other one, the one that Bojo was the Lithuanian prime minister.
This is Zelensky.
All right, we're going to go back to the beginning and play that over.
Hello.
Hello.
How are you there?
I'm fine.
I'm in Poland.
Oh, okay.
Yes, I know.
We would like to continue the nuclear program in order to protect ourselves from Russia.
It's a difficult question, but we think to start it.
Okay.
But do you think, I mean, I think more than being neutral, Russia would really hate that.
For sure, we know this, of course, but it's one of the questions that we're interested in.
But if you could help us in this regard, it would be really, really important.
Okay, well, Mr.
Prime Minister, on all those bigger questions, I think those are questions that I need to speak to my Prime Minister.
The principle is we will support Ukraine as our friend in the choices you make.
Well, that tells you the UK is not in on any war crap.
All right, here we go, John.
Throwback to the 70s, all right?
You're on the other end.
Hello?
Yes, do you have Prince Albert in the can?
Yeah, these are a little more improved.
Oh, yeah, but that was the one that we used to do that shit.
Yeah.
Or just hang up.
Remember, that was a thing.
A couple more things here before we take a break.
The cancellation of Russia.
Some of it's just funny.
It really is funny.
Tomorrow, on the 25th, the Pope is supposed to conduct Russia's consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Which is a process that I am not schooled enough to explain.
But I do understand that there are four, and this has almost been done in the past, but there are four main things that have to happen in order for the Catholics around the world to agree that Russia was consecrated.
One, it has to be done by the Pope.
Two, it has to be ordered in union with the bishops of the world, specific consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and specifically mention Russia.
Okay.
And this is supposed to happen tomorrow, and I'm very curious if Pope Francis will adhere to all four, or will this be another cancellation moment?
I don't know.
I didn't know anything about it.
Yeah, and I'm not even sure what the consecration is about.
Do you know what it is?
No, I have no idea.
I'm clueless.
People will say, oh, there you go.
He finally said it.
Get a clip of that.
I got a great end of show, ISO. Great early end of show, ISO. It's John saying, I'm clueless.
No, that's not going to work, people.
Okay, we have that.
Well, yeah, there's financial stuff, but we should probably do that after a break because I have some questions about that you may be able to answer because that really gets into our great reset.
I think I have one thing left.
One left, yeah.
I like how you casually, let me see, we've got Kilputin.
Oh yeah, I want to play this.
This is the Ukraine, that is me, Ukraine NPR update with this, you know, the head of NATO comes in at the end of this clip and it just makes me sick.
Soltenberg, Jentz?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
To the east and northeast of the capital city of Kiev, invading Russian troops have been pushed back by Ukrainian forces, according to a senior U.S. defense official.
At the same time, the Russians continue to bombard the port city of Mariupol with heavy long-range fire.
Although some have breached Mariupol, Russian forces are meeting fierce opposition from Ukrainians.
President Biden is in Brussels at this hour, preparing for meetings with allies tomorrow.
At a news conference today, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said the allies have no choice but to respond.
This invasion, this brutal war in Ukraine, would have...
Long-term consequences for our security.
It's a new normal for our security.
And NATO has to respond to that new reality.
It's a new normal.
This guy's a warmonger.
Oh, he's the worst.
Oh my goodness.
And now he got extended for a year.
Hmm, how does that even work?
I don't know.
Kick that guy out.
Close down the whole thing.
Yeah, I'm...
Yeah.
It doesn't seem to be doing much for peace.
What did you just crack open?
This was a seltzer water.
Very good.
With that, seltzer water cracking open.
I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in Malia Obama's Goldman Sachs private banking credit card.
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr.
John C. Dvorak.
In the morning to you, Mr.
Adam Curry.
Also in the morning to all ships that see boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
And a big in the morning to all the trolls in the troll room.
Hello, trolls.
How you doing?
I'd like to get a count, see how y'all are doing today.
Okay, let's see.
What do we have?
We're looking, we're looking, and I want to get...
There we go.
2271.
Down, down, down.
We're barely, barely above the 2K line.
It's a Thursday.
Yeah, people do have to work.
Stop working, trolls!
Hey, you know what?
The day they hack Slack, we'll have 5,000 trolls in the troll room.
I'm telling you, that's the way to go.
You're carrying water and giving Putin ideas.
That's the way it's...
Can you imagine if it would happen?
Oh my god.
It's not unthinkable.
You can't be the only one in the world who's thought of that.
It's not unthinkable, exactly.
The trolls are in the troll room and have been very helpful today.
They've got a lot of fun things to say.
They listen live on Thursdays and Sundays.
Actually, people listen live 24 hours a day because noagendastream.com is running with all of the podcasts from around Gitmo Nation, many of them live.
We've got live handovers.
It's not just some playlist piece of crap stream.
This is an entire system, a community, and there's thousands of people listening, and you can always find some fellow trolls at trollroom.io.
Or you could be listening to our very powerful network, You could be listening with text, that is.
NoagendaSocial.com.
And I say powerful because it really is where the action is taking place.
And I'm now more convinced that ever, because we have a very active Mastodon instance at NoagendaSocial.com, I'm quite convinced that that's why Mastodon.social, Mastodon.com, all the people who blocked us initially, I think that's why they opened it up, is because there's just too much good stuff going on.
And that makes...
NoagendaSocial.com and the people who participated.
It's very valuable.
And it's valuable to us because it's a great place for the producers to hang out and do what they do best, is produce.
And there's no real flame wars.
It just kind of scrolls away, which is really nice.
There's no algo, like Twitter algo, sitting there trying to, hey, let's bring that thing.
Let's piss that guy.
Hey, that'll trigger him.
Hey, let's do it.
No!
No!
No, we don't like any of that.
There's some of that.
Yeah, but the Algos don't come back and continue to do it.
No, they don't care.
NoAgendaSocial.com.
You can follow me, Adam, at NoAgendaSocial.com from any Macedon account, and of course, John as well.
John C. Dvorak at NoAgendaSocial.com.
We'd like to thank the artists, all the artists, really, who brought us quite a selection of art for the previous episode.
We titled the episode Batuu.
Because we know what Batuu means, according to the Urban Dictionary, and it's just a way of us saying the BA2 subvariant.
But some people thought it was a dirty word.
Huh.
What was the language again?
Shocking, they would think that, I tell you.
Shocking.
So as part of the value-for-value model, which is what we've been doing for 15 years, this is how the whole operation works.
Time, talent, treasure.
We need to pay our bills.
That's the treasure.
Time and talent.
This comes from people running servers, setting up search engines, NoAgendaMeetups.com, the art generator.
I can go on and on.
NoAgendaSocial.com itself.
All being run by the producers of Gitmo Nation who produce the best podcasts in the universe.
And artwork is no exception to...
Just the amount of time and talent that goes in.
Tonton Neal, who was no stranger to this winning poll position, just nailed it with the Joe Biden comfort cushion with all the beautiful little ice creams on it.
I mean, this was...
The ice creams topped it off.
Sometimes, you know, you just nail it.
And it was him...
Of course, it's a real picture of our president who loves to snuggle up to mainly children.
And sniff them.
Sniff their hair.
Sniff their hair.
So this is like he was holding on to that pillow.
And she just nailed it.
It was really good.
What other stuff?
Well, we did mention, we kind of liked all the...
I thought there was at least five pieces we could use.
There were.
What you were doing, saying, oh, I really like the Ukrainian shot glasses.
I'm like, what do you want?
It looked like we're standing with Ukraine and taking a side?
We might as well just put Putin with crosshairs on his head.
I liked the Ukrainian shot glasses.
I know you did.
I liked, that was by Comic Strip Blogger.
I liked the pillow ones.
There's different ones.
The Hug Me Bear, I don't know.
Well, that also was, I mean, you know, the Mike Lindell.
The Mike Lindell.
It was just too busy.
I don't know what the background was going on there.
What other things did we really like?
I like Tantanil's goat as well.
The what-say-you goat?
Yeah, I like that.
But I always liked the goat.
Yeah, you did like that goat.
I didn't think that much about it.
I like goat.
And he had a Russian flag.
It looked like we were carrying water for Putin.
Yeah, would have been.
Totally.
There's some other stuff that was okay.
There's stuff that could have been used, but this pillow with Biden was just...
It just took the case.
And it was simple and it made a point.
Irresistible is exactly right.
I completely agree.
Well, thank you very much, Tantanil, and thank you to all of the artists for helping out, for contributing, for participating.
Everybody can do something in their own small way, including the value-for-value proposition, which is very simple.
No Silicon Valley company can determine the value of a media product, whether it's a song or a podcast or a video.
The value can only be determined by the person who receives it.
So we...
A long time ago, more than 14 years, said, you know what?
Whatever it's worth to you.
And that's very subjective.
$5 could be a lot to you.
$500 may be nothing.
But whatever that value is, we'd like you to send it to us.
And with that, we will thank some of our, well, not some, all of our executive producers and associate executive producers who always get their note read.
And we kick it off with Sir Data Ops, the Wisconsin millennial from Madison, Wisconsin, with one of our favorite donation amounts, 345.67.
In the morning, I become a baronet with this donation.
I'd love a dogs are people to jingle with some karma.
Love is lit, Sir Data Ops, the Wisconsin millennial.
Should we do Asian dogs karma then to...
To kind of top that off, I think it'll sound cool.
Thank you very much, Sir Data Ops.
We'll see you at the titling ceremony.
Sam Onan in Eden Prairie, Minnesota comes in with 33333 and he says one thing and one thing only.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
Do we have a note for the next one?
I don't think so.
Yeah, we do.
We do from James Scherf.
Okay.
He's on there.
33333 from Addison, Illinois.
And he says, thanks for all you do.
Your insights are spot on.
Spot on is Britishism.
Can I get a Screw Your Freedoms and a dose of karma that I will bottle for future use?
The bottled karma will be stored in my wine cellar next to the bottle of Prisoner.
There's a wine called Prisoner.
There's a wine called Prisoner?
That's interesting.
I think so.
Well, of course we got that for you, James.
Screw your freedom.
Screw your freedoms.
You've got karma.
And I will mention that the next one on the list, you'll take the one after that, because this is Madison McClure in Park City, Utah, came in with 333.33, and I could find no email from a Madison or a McClure.
No, neither could I. But I'm sure she will send it to us after the fact.
Sandy McMahon...
And I hope it's a she.
You don't know.
Madison Baumgardner, the pitcher for the Giants, is a male.
This executive producer donation is to mark a few important landmarks in my life and issue a warning to producers.
First and foremost is, though, I've been on a subscription for a while now.
I have never been deduced, and I don't want to die this way.
You've been deduced.
And Sandy says, thanks.
That's better.
First, a big thank you to No Agenda and all its producers for creating this tiny island of free and critical thinking in a world increasingly underwater, under duress, and under magical spells.
Brought to us by Illuminati-fed mainstream media.
We meet people every day who have...
This is good content.
I mean, if you and I had to sit down and write it, we wouldn't write this.
I like this.
We meet people every day who have lost their wits and their way as these dark currents pull more and more of us under.
No agenda is more important now than ever for helping to rescue people from oblivion.
Thanks especially to Paul and Connor at the city for hitting me in the mouth.
Truly, I can't thank any of you enough.
So you all know the couple who no agenda is together stays together.
Well, the obverse...
Is true also.
My wife used to enjoy my big amygdala.
As it began to shrink, however, thanks to its exposure to the show and the mammoth lies about COVID and the jabs that followed, she increasingly lost interest, despite my attempts to prove the smaller amygdalas are at least as much fun to share.
She had always considered me a bit of a crackpot and a conspiracy theorist, but once she learned that there was conspiracy therapy available, well, she just wrote me off.
Wow.
The show and the critical thinking it encourages was just too dangerous to the ideas and worldview.
Oh, God.
This is not a good note.
You said it was.
I thought it was a good note until I got to this part.
So no agenda.
Well, you know what?
Dodge the bullet, brother.
The result is that I am now alone with my shrunken amygdala and in need of some house-buying karma as I'm looking for a place of my own in the absolute madhouse of the Kootenai housing market.
I would also love to hear JCD's Dogs in a stroller, if that's an actual tune, and not just a jingle, would you mind playing it at the end of the show?
Yeah, you got it.
I think of that every time I see a dog in a stroller, snuggly or handbag, and laugh my head off.
It's almost as good as my neighbor shoveling his walk alone and in minus 10, wearing a mask.
Thanks for your tireless efforts.
The truth has never been so funny.
Sincerely, Sandy McMahon, Nelson, British Columbia.
And that was $333.33 Canadian micro dollars, even though that does not translate to an executive producership.
We do recognize your dollary-dos and dollaretts, and thank you very much for that.
And I'm sorry to hear this, Sandy, but I think possibly...
Possibly you might be good long-term.
You never know.
It works in strange and mysterious ways.
Here's your house buying karma.
You've got karma.
Yeah, it's always hard to hear that, but at the same time, there's other things that are going on that cause these rifts.
Not the show.
Yes, it's not just the show.
Not just the show.
Not just the show.
Chap Williams came in again, this show, with 33333, 333.33, and this is a bank check that comes in, and I keep looking for a note or something from him, and he has yet to see one, and I just want to say thanks, Chap.
He's like a sustaining subscriber at 333.33.
Really?
Yeah, it's just every time I go through the checks that come in so I can put them in the spreadsheet.
And there's this 3-3, there's Chap Williams again.
Well, we should make that a standard option then, perhaps.
From Edmond, Oklahoma.
Yeah, well, he might be an oil guy.
I mean, we just talked about the fact that value for value can only be determined by the person receiving the value.
Yeah, well, he's getting a lot of value, obviously.
Yeah, well, thank you very much, chap.
Thank you, chap.
Now we go to Round Rock, Texas, home of the new tornadoes.
Allison Ostrander, 324.22.
She's got the donation of just in time.
In the morning, Adam, John, first and foremost, I'd like to thank you for the best podcast in the universe.
donation for 324.22 is in honor of today's podcast date, 32422.
Also to ask for jingles now in case it takes a second to find, whooping with the constitution, bugs, I love bugs, bomb them, bomb them, bomb them, amazing, and a little gourmet and a jobs karma for all.
I must say I'm so thankful for this podcast.
When Ukraine first started to happen, it is easy to forget how quickly you can get sucked into the fear, but I knew I needed to listen to no agenda for the true analysis and big picture point of view.
And once again, I'm so glad I did.
It literally helped calm my soul.
This show has kept me sane over the many, many years I've been listening, and I am mournful for the day that y'all stopped the podcast, heaven forbid.
I continue to wonder how I'm going to keep my own human resources from getting sucked into the brainwashed narrative once they get older.
So somebody, please think of the children and keep this going.
Anyway, I knew y'all kept me sane through the COVID and now this nonsense, so it is my duty to make another donation as I work my way up to Damehood.
On a side note, I would appreciate a big jobs karma.
Oops, I'm glad you said that because I had just regular.
And if you want big, we'll go big for you.
On top of being a trader myself, I also teach others how to trade options in the stock market.
Get out!
Most importantly, I teach people about risk so they don't blow out their entire account or life savings.
Yes, options is a good way to do that.
And I have a class coming up.
Commodity options are the real way to go broke fast.
Yeah, no kidding.
Because all of a sudden you have to take delivery of a whole bunch of corn.
Sucks.
I know somebody who traded soybeans and actually took delivery.
No, of the soybeans?
Like, how many bushels?
They were so adamant about it that they...
There's a story...
I'm not absolutely sure the story's true.
We have to explain how options work, brief, just to make it work.
Well, options are just...
It's...
Explaining how they work is another issue.
No, but just the general concept.
You buy and sell futures, what these things are going to sell for in the future, and it's a way of stabilizing a market so people don't pay too much for products over time.
It's a way of smooth, it's a smoothing mechanism that seems to work while people get to gamble at the same time.
And so this guy bought these soybean futures, and he was so irked about the fact that they went down that he took the...
He said, they're worth more than this.
So he took delivery, had them delivered to his basement...
And then as the weather changed, because it was turning cold...
They sprouted.
No, they swelled up and took the house off its foundation.
No, this...
I'm telling you, this is supposedly a true story.
Oh, okay.
Is this one of these...
And then she scratched the bump and little spiders came out?
Is that one of these stories?
I'm just telling you.
Took the house off its foundation.
Okay.
This is the content people who skip the donation segment are missing.
You're really missing a good one.
Anyway, Allison has a class coming up this Saturday.
Anyone curious to learn about what I'm teaching Saturday, feel free to watch this webinar and you'll find it at simplertrading.com slash spot dash replay.
Also small world, but a while ago I did a podcast I did a podcast, The Disciplined Investor, with Andrew Horowitz, who I did not realize prior to the call was the same Andrew Horowitz who does DH Unplugged podcasts with you, John.
It's still one of his best media bits I have done to date for my job, knowing that I could talk to someone real and exchange an in-the-morning with instead of a talking head of Big Pharma.
Thank you again for all you do, sharing your personal experiences, deconstruction, and comedic humor, our comedic stylings, and banter.
Truly make this the best podcast in the universe, and I will continue to do my job of hitting people in the mouth.
Thanks for all the hard work, karma for all.
Hope this email finds y'all well.
Love and lit.
You bet.
Get out there and whoop Obama's behind.
Whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin, whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin' all of them behind, whoopin', whoopin', whoopin'. Whoopin' all of them behind, whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin'. Whoopin', whoopin', whoopin'. Whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin'. Whoopin', whoopin', whoopin'. Whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin'. Whoopin'.
Whoopin'.
I love bugs.
Bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs.
Bombs!
Jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs. Job, jobs.
You've got karma.
Steve Battenstra is up next from Sir B&A, B&A, B&A, D-A-D-stra in Nashville, Tennessee.
And he writes, I drink a lot of coffee, especially when I'm at work.
Yesterday, I purchased a coffee at three different airports and each purchase came to exactly 301.
I love it when that happens.
My first thought was that I should play 301 in the lotto.
My second thought was that the universe doesn't believe in handouts like the lotto.
Stimulus checks and universal basic income.
What it's really trying to tell me is that I'm overdue for a donation, so here it is.
Nice.
And then he says, I didn't realize this is open, he says, here it is, live and lit Steve Banstra in Nashville.
No, he's live and lit.
That's a new one.
I like that.
We go to our associate executive producers.
Yep.
Yep.
I don't have any...
I will look up the ad to see if there's anything from Michael Gaff.
Yes.
And you can keep reading it.
Yes, he's at $215 from Candler, North Carolina.
We'll see if we can find the note.
We move to Sir Ron Noren, Black Knight, in Flöten, the Netherlands, $200.
Sad puppy in the newsletter, getting hotel room 33 last Monday, and my wife meeting Sir Hendrick during a stroll.
Okay, universe, I know what to do.
Keep up the excellent work, gentlemen.
No jingles, no karma.
Sir Ron Norton, the Black Knight.
And we appreciate that very much.
Dame...
Oh, here's Dame Kenny Ben.
Not just contributing time and talent, but treasure as well.
East Haven, Connecticut, $200 in the morning.
John and Adam, a show day on my much older brother's birthday meant I had to donate.
Please add Jay Lamott to the birthday list.
He turned 52 today.
You would think since he turned me on to the show, I would credit him with this donation.
Yeah, that's not going to happen.
He does need to be...
Oh, he needs to de-douche himself.
Please, however, credit this...
Oh my gosh.
Please, however, credit this donation towards my dog Aranya's eventual damehood.
Aranya Diggsalot De Palma.
So now, do we put the dog's name in?
Well, it's only credited to the dog.
Okay, that's not a switcheroo.
The dog hasn't reached...
No, but I mean, does the dog...
Do we get a switcheroo for the dog instead of Dame Kenny Ben is my question.
The dog won't care.
I think Kenny Ben should get this.
I think the dog might care.
The dog digs a lot.
Where's my credit?
Maybe.
That actually sounds like every single person who got skipped.
So, Michael Gaff, there's no letter from Gaff, there's no letter from Michael Gaff, there's nothing under the subject line donation, which is what it should be.
So, I don't know where he sent it.
Alright, well, we do have a couple of make goods before we thank everybody.
Baronetis Amy Poussin Noonan.
Here's her note that we missed on the last show.
I want to thank you for defending me when Baron John, the fabulous ruler of the glacial Drumlin Trail of Wisconsin, attempted to call me out on show 1430 as a douchebag.
He thinks he's quite funny when accusing me of sucking off the government teat when I was unemployed.
Also, I think he'll laugh hysterically at John reading the previous sentence.
Yes, well, we did get that.
I am now gainfully employed and will be once again sharing my treasure via monthly donation.
But I thought I'd make it up by matching his 333.33 and doing one better by adding an 8008 because I like hearing JCD say boobs.
Boobs.
Beautiful.
We actually have a boob donation jingle.
Robert Wicker.
Now, he had a very confusing note.
We kind of gave up on it, and I think we have some version of it.
Appreciate the love I was throwing, y'all, but clearly it was too late on a birthday evening.
My bashing at shows and yesterday is getting me some good ribbing from my crew.
I guess because we were like, what are you doing, man?
Here's a saner version of what I wanted to say.
In the morning, gentlemen, I picked you all up after Adam's first JRE appearance.
I remember being frustrated by Rogan not letting you talk about Jekyll Island, which is right up the road, and the Federal Reserve.
I don't know if you remember, but he kept interrupting.
He was, all right, I have this habit myself.
I had to know more about this eclectic VJ from my past who has resurfaced so strangely into my life and immediately tuned into the best podcast in the universe and its surrounding community.
Loved it!
You two are the best, period.
It seems like one long year at times and I'm not sure I would have made it through the Rona Scandemic without stumbling across all of you in Gitmo Nation.
The weaker household loves no agenda, and we believe that the family who prays together and no agendas together is going to be just fine.
We will prosper in this upside-down kingdom we live in today.
Our human resources, Hope and Aspen, hear bits and pieces as Mama Bear and I dig in.
We've all been blessed by your reading of birthdays and anniversaries and other rambling tidbits I've submitted along the road to knighthood.
I'm starting to ramble.
Yes, you are.
Together we will expose the truth, but this will be better.
But will this be the end of the show?
Hell no.
Thank God for Ron DeSantis, 1122, widespread panic, and the slaves of Gitmo Nation.
Keep digging, keep homing, and push back, and may you never find an exit strategy.
Stay safe.
And then finally, a make good from Mark Ginty.
Also could not find Mark's note.
In the morning, gentlemen, guess my donation last episode wasn't sent in late, but my note was sent to the wrong email address.
My fault this time.
Last time I donated PayPal, cut my note off.
This donation is a switcheroo for my little brother, Alexander Gritorex.
This is his first donation, so please de-douche him.
You've been de-douched.
Please add him to the birthday list.
His 19th birthday was this past Monday, and he's the fourth family member to be hit in the mouth, but the first to make it to the troll room.
He even made it before me.
Good job, Lex.
He leaves for Texas after graduation this year, and he did want to remind Bill, this Mark Ginty, that he is still a douchebag, so we'll do that.
Douchebag!
And let me just check to make sure your brother's on the birthday list.
Yes.
And that's it.
We have the latest version of the letter from Weicker.
Yeah, I'm fine with what we just did.
That's Robert.
Robert and Dee is the same guy.
Oh.
Same guy.
Okay.
Well, he's on the nighting list.
Yes, he is.
Yeah.
That's what he needs to know.
Same guy.
So that is one of our most confusing executive producers ever.
And it continues.
No, the confusion continues.
Thank you to our executive and associate executive producers for this and the stragglers from the previous episode.
We really appreciate it.
And to show our appreciation, we give you an official credit that you can use anywhere credits are recognized.
Go ahead, put it in your LinkedIn, your resume.
Put it up on IMDB. You're legal with that.
Go look at some of the Hollywood heavyweights who are also executive or associate executive producers of the No Agenda show.
And if you'd like to join this rank, the ranks of these fine fellows and ladies, go here.
And again, thank you for your time, talents, and treasure for producing episode 1436.
Our formula is this.
we go out we hit people in the mouth all right i want to play the clip gold medal for the ukrainians i I'm pretty sure we did last show.
South Dakota's lone U.S. House member Dusty Johnson says he was moved by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's speech this morning.
Zelensky addressed Congress by video from Kyiv.
Johnson released a video on social media with his reaction.
And he talked to us about how America, as the leader of the world, needs to be a leader of peace.
And he asked us to continue doing what we're doing and go a step further, put secondary sanctions on those who are doing business with Russia, make sure that they're held accountable, and provide the Ukrainians the tools that they need to defend themselves.
It was a powerful address, and I think it is going to change the tenor of the conversation here in Washington.
Today, Johnson introduced legislation with Representative Victoria Sparts, a Republican from Indiana who was born in Ukraine.
Their bill is the Defenders of Ukraine Congressional Gold Medal Act.
The bill would collectively award the...
Yeah, we did.
Johnson says it would make clear that America stands with Ukraine and it would honor those defending their country.
The Congressional Gold Medal is the highest civilian award in the U.S.
You know, there was also a discovery made.
I saw it on Telegram to who the heck knows that there were medals found in Ukraine that represented the the Battle of Donbass.
and like the medals, you know, Ukrainian medals, and these were already set up and good to go.
Oh, interesting.
Yeah, yeah.
And they have pictures, and it looks legit, but who the heck knows.
So I'll just reiterate, I've been looking at everything that's been taking place over the past three years through the lens of the financial system.
2019, we had something really rotten in the system.
It is my opinion that the best way to slow that down was to shut down the economy.
So we kind of laundered that problem out through the COVID bailouts.
Then, of course, we had inflation.
Because of the money creation that we had, Yeah, through modern monetary theory.
And now we're going to kind of push this off on Putin and the war, and that's why we have inflation, what can I tell you?
And of course this will eventually be turned into climate change initiatives as demand destruction of oil continues.
But also the networks, the deplatforming, the financial deplatforming of a country is quite interesting.
Certainly, if you think it's great and fun, it could happen to you.
In fact, it does happen.
We saw Canada do this, deplatforming citizens.
Yeah, their own truckers.
Bloomberg, again, is looking at the Russian sovereign debt, or the Russian debt, and they had a bond payment to make, a coupon payment.
And it turns out that since 2014...
They actually had some vision on how their debt should be structured and what rules they would have just in case.
These bonds, while structured as international euro bonds, had some weird clauses in them.
Unusual.
And you guys know this market.
This is a market completely dominated by boilerplate where it's just cut and paste transactions that don't take more than a few minutes.
We knew then that Russia was doing weird things.
Now, this alternate payments clause, I have only seen it in the recent Russian bonds.
Literally, the bonds issued after the Crimean invasion seem to have a clause in them that anticipates Russia misbehaving and sanctions being increased.
I mean, it is astonishing to read the risk disclosures in these bonds.
I think there's something like seven or eight pages talking about all the bad things that Putin has done.
Invade here, you know, take over there, human rights violations somewhere else, and telling investors, look, you know, there might be sanctions, and if there are sanctions, we're going to pay in rubles.
It's as if the investors are giving Putin insurance for doing bad stuff.
And the true irony is that many of these investors are the ones who have been running around touting their ESG cred.
And at the same time, they're giving Putin insurance to, you know, take over Ukraine.
Now, I'm probably overstating this, but yes, these clauses are very weird and they are a form of insurance protection for Russian misbehavior.
Or for Western networks to cut Russia off.
You could also report it that way.
But isn't it interesting he brings in the ESG, which I think I've been talking about.
That was a cheap shot.
He just threw that in.
It was needling.
Well, ESG is on deck these days.
As you've heard, today the Commission is considering proposing rules to enhance and standardize climate disclosure.
This is the Securities Exchange Commission with a pending rule that all public companies will need to adhere to.
These proposals would require public companies to provide, in their registration statements and annual reports, certain information on risks that climate poses to short, medium, and long-term financial performance, and on steps the company plans to take to mitigate this risk, such as an internal carbon price, if there is one, Scenario analysis if the company does it, transition plans if the company has them, or targets if the company has set them.
Public companies would also disclose governance around climate issues.
Besides the disclosures on risk and on the company's response, the proposed rules would require disclosure on current financial impacts and on financial expenditures due to climate-related events and transition activities.
Finally, the rule would require disclosure about the carbon footprint through Scopes I and II GHG emissions and Scope III, if Scope III emissions are material or used as part of a climate-related target or goal.
Yeah, this is going to be real fun.
Not as much fun as companies saying, hell with it, let's buy up our stock and go private.
This is crap.
Yeah, and why wouldn't the company should totally do that?
But even that will be seen as a horrible thing.
And did you notice the carbon price, if you have one, internal carbon price?
Holy crap!
So this is how I believe it goes.
Companies are now shamed, forced, and I presume when this comes into play, legally we'll have to adhere to these ESG goals, environmental, social, and governance.
So that's your equity, that's your social wokeness, and that's your green agenda, all wrapped into one.
And in order to bring in the green agenda, we have to cover two bases.
One, we have to make sure that people will be able to function.
So we're going to promise everybody, you get a car, you get an electric car, you get an electric car.
Until that happens, we're going to have to train people to live differently.
I believe the oil price will continue to rise.
Gas will be very unaffordable already.
Diesel is now in short supply.
The EU is ringing the alarm bells, saying, it's actual supply now, not just the price.
So we need to train people.
And in 2017, the very same BlackRock Larry Fink said this about training people.
Well, behaviors are going to have to change, and this is one thing we're asking companies.
You have to force behaviors, and at BlackRock, we are forcing behaviors.
We have real good, forcing behaviors, and they are, and it's playing out in weird ways.
Remember, 70s, great recycle.
Tonight as gas prices continue to hover near record highs, we're shining a spotlight on drivers who are going to extremes to conserve fuel.
They're known as hyper-milers.
CBS's Chris Van Cleve takes us for a ride in the slow lane.
Southern California is home to the nation's highest gas prices, nearly $2 a gallon higher than a year ago.
Are you really getting 87 miles to the gallon?
Yeah, I'm getting well over 80 miles per gallon.
Wayne Gerdes is serious about making his tank go further, about 60% further than what the EPA says his plug-in Prius hybrid should be getting.
This is very much a slow and steady approach to driving.
Yeah, you've hit it with that.
We are on Interstate 5 outside San Diego.
What does 55 miles per hour mean to you?
It means you're going a lot slower than everybody else on the road.
That's okay.
They're not buying my gas.
He says, always follow the speed limit.
Speed kills fuel economy.
It does.
There's no way around it.
Gerdes is one of the nation's leading hyper-milers, folks who take fuel economy to the extreme.
Some try to reduce drag, drop weight, even draft behind semis.
Wayne often coasts downhill.
My grandfather, in the 70s, in his Volkswagen Rabbit, We'd be driving, and he would literally, going down the hill, would throw it in neutral and say, I'm coasting.
And he'd press down the clutch, too.
We had this phenomenon in the 70s.
I knew guys, when I was working for the air pollution district, there was guys that would get these Hondas, and they would find some way to get outrageous gas mileage from them.
It was a big trend.
The other trend that's a parallel is gas thievery.
Yeah, well, we already have the gas.
In fact, the locking gas caps and all the rest became popular in the 70s because of people siphoning your tanks.
That's right.
And now, of course, they've got the new idea of just drilling a hole in the tank.
The optics can be bad to other drivers.
Yeah.
Because it's not the normal pattern that we all follow.
Most of the tips in the hyper-milers playbook are smart.
The goal is stay moving, gently accelerating, and we start slowly braking well before a red light, cruising through it as it turns green.
During our drive around town, he averaged 110 miles per gallon on city streets.
It all adds up.
Gerdes saves about $2,500 a year.
Every dollar I save in fuel is a dollar in my pocket.
Right.
So we can maybe expect some lowering of speed limits, which I think now we know that the speed limit in the 70s was lower.
The proposal was 45.
The president said, no, no, I can't be under 65.
People crucify me.
And I think that's how they wound up with 55, although some states actually had 50.
It's like 85 kilometers an hour.
So we may see that be reinstated because the stories are thick and heavy.
This morning, there's no escaping the pain at the pump.
You know, gas prices are high.
Everybody can't afford those gas prices.
Gas prices now averaging $4.26 a gallon in the U.S. and approaching $7 in parts of California.
Lawmakers in several states are trying to ease the burden.
Maryland has become the first state to suspend its gas tax, shaving 36 cents off every gallon, saving the average driver about $5 per fill-up.
It's almost unheard of for a major piece of legislation to pass in such a short period of time and with such universal bipartisan support.
But together, we have all risen to the occasion.
In Georgia, the governor's signing a similar bill to eliminate the state's gas tax.
Was that something in the 70s?
Eliminating state gas tax?
No.
About 29 cents per gallon through May.
And in Michigan, the State Senate has voted to approve suspending its gas tax for six months.
But Governor Gretchen Whitmer is not on board.
She says it would hurt road repair and infrastructure projects funded by the gas tax.
So instead, she wants the federal government to step in.
There's conversation at the federal level as to how we can help families.
Gas prices began climbing as inflation grew worse and supply chain issues unfolded then soared after Russia's invasion of Ukraine Republicans blamed the Biden administration for hurting efforts to expand energy production here at home no matter who you blame Many Americans are being forced to make changes.
59% of Americans say they plan to change their driving habits now that gas is more than $4 per gallon.
And three out of four people say they'll try to drive less if prices top $5.
So, that seems to be going swimmingly well.
This demand destruction is, you know, even GasBuddy.
Remember GasBuddy was everyone, all the TikTok kids were talking about gas.
So GasBuddy is the one that said, look at the numbers, looks like there's demand destruction in California.
So that was a message that was planted specifically because GasBuddy is in on this.
By the way, a producer pointed this out to me.
To have the group of TikTokers come into the White House and give them the talking points, isn't that by default giving a Chinese company propaganda to disseminate?
Yes.
That company never changed hands.
That was Trump's plan.
It's a Chinese company and our government's in cahoots.
We work with the Chinese to propagandize our own people.
Yes, there's something wrong there.
And they have the best algos for sure.
So anyway, so there's a couple things that I think have to happen for the Great Reset.
I'm just taking them at their word.
It would be great to have some kind of stimulus signed for this horrible gas problem.
Canada is already cutting checks, stimmy checks, to help offset inflation.
I think $500, which is about $1.50 in real money.
And that'll be for everyone making under $100,000.
I can see it returning in a big combo package, maybe, because, of course, we're about to hear that in a moment.
We're about to run out of COVID money.
We need to help people.
Oh, poor people are suffering from the high price of gas.
It will be perfect to bring in your central bank digital currency.
It's not ready, so that's not going to happen for a while.
But maybe we can really tip the scales with the food crisis.
And I want to remind us that there was an Event 201 type simulation that was run.
Cargill was a big part of it.
It was called Food Chain Reaction.
We talked about it.
Oh, man.
Maybe a month or two ago.
And so they did a simulation of what would happen if we had food shortages through supply chain issues, all the things we have now, diesel shortage, inflation.
Food chain reaction crisis simulation ends with global carbon tax.
That's right.
Climate, hunger, civil unrest, and spiking food prices came together at the Food Chain Reaction Game in Washington, D.C. Cooperation mostly won the day.
So they are counting on this.
And again, it's ratcheting up.
We have, I think we talked about the FDA clearing the CRISPR-edited cattle.
Gene-edited cattle can now be sold as food in the United States because they pose a low risk to humans.
And the editing they've done is they've made these cattle heat-tolerant.
The cattle are called PRLR-slick cattle.
They produce short and slick hair coat due to modification made to their prolactin receptor gene.
This slick hair coat phenotype gives cattle the ability to regulate body temperature more effectively.
This is important for raising cattle in tropical climates.
I don't know.
I guess that's a good idea.
Maybe not.
As long as they don't edit their genes so they talk.
And the Jerusalem Post has a huge piece on the meat of the future.
And I think Alex Jones actually flocked to this one.
Can you guess what the ingredients will be?
Food of the future?
Bugs.
Well, yes.
Well, first it's pumpkin seeds and not just bugs, fly larvae.
Oh, yeah.
So, bug embryos.
That's a bug.
What?
It's still a bug.
Of course it's a bug.
Oh, I wanted to mention, my buddy Texas Slim is doing a conference in Kerrville on April 23rd.
Food Intelligence Beef Initiative.
I was supposed to speak there, but of course I have an internment and funeral to go to in New York.
And he is looking for someone who could help him video the event.
It'll be like 75, 100, maybe more people.
Contact me and we'll see if we can hook them up.
So they have had the food, the climate change.
I think it's just a matter of waiting.
It would be great to get the cyber pandemic going now so we could knock off probably the Texas grid.
Oh, I forgot to tell you.
The power went down in the middle of the night.
A generator came on, didn't even wake up.
Everything functioned as normal.
It works.
It did work.
I'm so proud.
That's nice.
Yeah, it works.
Yeah.
My guy called at like 7.30.
He says, hey man, is your power on?
He said, what are you talking about?
It's on.
He said, yeah, it's been out since 4 o'clock.
Beautiful.
So you had a power loss.
Yeah, but my generator...
No, besides that, what was causing this power loss?
Probably the incredible tornadoes that were raging through Texas.
Oh.
Rainstick.
Yeah, rainstick.
That's what caused it.
It's my own fault.
It's my own fault.
Your own fault.
It is my own fault.
Do you have anything on the climate change or anything else?
No, I didn't clip no climate change.
Clip no climate change.
I clipped nothing right now.
It does seem like we have a...
Oh yeah, there's one other thing.
I did like the report that Saudi Arabia is considering selling their oil in Riyadh.
Well, not only that, but Russia now has just determined that they're going to only...
Did you hear this?
This just happened.
Yeah, they're going to sell only rubles.
Yeah, you want to buy our oil?
Rubles.
I think I actually have a clue.
And it jacked up the price of the ruble like there was no tomorrow.
Which we could have known.
Well, you've already predicted it.
I think...
Yeah, but we could have, like, invested in it, was my point.
Actually, we talked about this on DHL Play, very difficult.
Because they cut everything off in certain ways.
Unless you're Soros or some big player, you couldn't have done anything.
I think that this is the Bloomberg Russia default watch that might have a piece about this.
Meanwhile, we've been talking about what it would take for Russia to default and what investors are doing.
I know you speak to a lot of investors.
How are they preparing for this and how much do they actually want Russia to default so they can start to try to recover some of their investments?
Well, they're taking counsel.
I mean, I was just on the phone yesterday with Alan and Overy.
I mean, they have a whole litany of...
No, maybe not.
Playbook!
Playbook!
I mean, you know, we're talking about short-selling stocks.
Forget about it.
Foreigners are not permitted to repatriate.
First of all, they're not permitted to sell any Russian securities, and they're not allowed to receive coupons, and they're not allowed to receive dividends.
And oh, hey, by the way, they're not allowed to wire more than 10,000 U.S. dollars offshore.
So even if you were able to sell, you can't get your money out.
So that's really the quandary that's facing most Russian investors today, Lisa.
Yeah, that wasn't what I hoped it would be.
But yes, I did hear that they said, anyone, I think maybe I have the headline here.
Maybe not.
I thought I had the story.
Anyway, yes.
So they're talking about Russia default?
Russia's got so much oil.
How can they default in a million years?
It's bull crap.
Well, they also can't because all those bonds said that they could pay them in rubles.
And then if people want to buy their...
And by the way, Italy's going to continue buying Russian energy.
Everyone's kind of breaking through.
It's like, eh, well, yeah, we'll kind of do it.
None of it's sincere.
They're doing it under, what's it when you're doing something under duress?
There's some word that you use.
Protest, under protest.
I'm giving them my money under protest.
Without prejudice.
There's something you can say.
And what is up with this story?
Golfer Phil Mickelson will not be competing at this year's Masters.
It follows his controversial comments about working with Saudi Arabia on a breakaway golf league to rival the PGA Tour.
Mickelson described the Saudis as, quote, scary, but said he was looking past their controversial record on human rights.
So this seems to be a PR push to get rid of...
He said they were murderers.
Are we kidding here with this report?
Yeah, I know.
But the thing is, we are actively pushing Saudi Arabia away.
Actively.
We kind of need them for the petrodollar, unless we don't want a petrodollar.
Unless we want regime change.
Ooh, always fun.
Here's the Great Reset continued.
I don't think this has anything to do with the 70s cycle.
Turning to the economy, more Americans want to say, I quit.
A new survey finds 44% of employees are either looking for a All right, so this goes with a story of which, unfortunately, I have no...
No clip.
There has to be a 70s connection to this.
Somebody out there will catch it.
Well, according to CNBC, they are now pushing hiring people with criminal records.
They say how hiring individuals with criminal records can benefit today's workforce.
And I'm just listening to this report, and I'm putting it all together.
And by the way, if you've done your time, you've paid your debt to society, you get another chance in my book.
Good to go.
That was the original idea.
But, you know, we know people have been incarcerated, and their lives are destroyed.
You know, you've got a criminal record, no one wants to touch that.
I'm seeing the virtuals...
Which is mainly young people, so I'll just say Zoomers and probably some younger millennials who are working these, you know, mick jobs everywhere, and they want to quit, and it makes total sense, and they've gotten enough stimulus stuff, they've got money to look for something else.
Gig economy.
And the only people that will be able to staff who will be, in fact, when the cyber pandemic comes around or the next actual virus, they will be the essential workers and it will be convicts.
This is what they're doing.
It's like, okay, no one wants to be a part of these stupid jobs.
Let's put the ex-criminals in.
And of course we know that a lot of people with criminal records aren't really being...
There's no real punishment at all.
They just are set free.
Yeah.
I don't know.
There might be something in the 70s to match that to.
Probably.
I'm jacked up about the 70s.
I'm with you.
I'm so with you on this.
It's so obvious that we're in some horrible time loop.
We're in a loop.
Which will bring...
We're in the 70s of all things.
Which will bring stagflation.
That's what it should bring.
Well, I think we're getting...
See, every time there's a downturn, and the 70s was a nasty one...
There's always, every time there's a downturn and you look at the economic circumstances, they're always different.
There's never been two of the same.
And stagflation, I don't know whether it'd be stagflation or it'd be something else, some other kind of variety.
But there's some sort of inflation for sure.
But there's no stagnation, which is what stagflation implies.
Well, here's what...
What did I have?
I read something about this.
Here we go.
Wall Street Journal.
Central banks grapple with the threat of slowing growth and rising inflation.
Isn't that stagflation?
Yeah.
Well, you'd think that that's exactly what they're expecting then.
It's the playbook.
It's the playbook.
And with stagflation, there's nothing you can do, right?
You can't...
I mean, what is the monetary policy?
How can they get us out of that?
Well, what they did...
There you go.
In the 70s, yes.
Is they did price controls.
Exactly what we talked about.
And of course they didn't work because price controls curiously don't work.
No, but that doesn't mean they won't make the same mistake again.
Of course they will.
That's to be expected.
Wow.
And you know what the irony of that was?
The hardest hammering of the price controls was the Republicans.
It's the same thing that happened with George Bush when he did all kinds of crazy stuff with the economy and spending.
The trickle-down economy?
Was that the trickle-down?
No, that's always in play.
What's it called?
When they threw a bunch of money into the economy, it was called something.
It's called inflationary.
No.
Stimulus, helicopter money, party time, coke party, party time.
I think I nailed them all.
It's got to be party time.
The one you left out is the one I was trying to think of.
Anyway, either come to me.
TARP? No, not TARP. In the 70s or recently?
Quantitative easing.
The Republicans are the ones who always decry these ideas and they're always the ones forced to implement them for some reason.
Quantitative easing?
Quantitative easing, exactly.
The idea of too big to fail, that whole concept, conservative Republicans are dead set against certain things like this, like price controls, throwing money away, and not letting people fail, let the Bank of America go out of business.
Right, right, right.
And they're the ones who prop it up in the end of the day.
They're, well, we're going to have to do the same thing with the Democrats.
And they're, oh, we're anti-war.
But they got a Democrat and president.
You got this Ukraine thing.
Let's have a war.
It's just unbelievable.
All these politicians, you say it all the time, they're exactly the same.
It's a bunch of bull crap.
They're full of crap.
They just follow some playbook.
And, you know, we suffer.
We the people suffer.
I think there's one last thing that we need to do to key up the Great Reset.
And this could be six months or six years.
I don't know.
I don't have the playbook.
But they're working on it.
And one of the things is we really have to...
The QR code, which was resurrected from the dead...
And by the way, did we already discuss the QR code being the throwback to the 70s barcode?
We talked about that, right?
Yeah, the original barcode.
Yeah, the original barcode.
So that came roaring back.
But of course, in order to have that, everybody needs to have a smartphone.
And there's been an obvious OTG, off-the-grid movement.
People are moving away from not just the standard iOS and Android operating systems, like the No Agenda phone, noagendaphone.com.
But people are opting out altogether, and certainly millennials are saying, you know, I don't want to be distracted.
I've got a computer.
I'm going to use what we call a feature phone.
And the feature phones, even some of the feature phones, have some things in there that would give you a bit of a halfway experience, but you're still going to be tracked.
Well, this will not stand.
Everybody needs to have a smartphone.
So, now there's this report that ABC is propagating And they're talking about feature phones.
And next, the return of the so-called dumb phones.
So those are mobile phones that only place or receive calls or text messages, like phones were attended, right?
That means no internet, no apps, but it also means no expensive data package.
Around a billion dumb phones were sold worldwide last year, 150% increase from 2019.
And one dumb phone maker says people between 25 and 35 are his best customers.
This is a subliminal message that if you use a feature phone, you're dumb.
I'm telling you, I've never, never heard this term.
You're right, they're called feature phones, they're called, they could be called a lot of different things.
Candy bars.
But call them dumb phones means you're dumb.
Or you have a dumb phone, that means you're dumb.
Yeah, of course.
That was very good.
Again, us being the geniuses at this sort of thing, Russia can't do that.
Yeah.
You're right.
Russia just doesn't have that oomph.
They don't have it.
We are number one.
Foam finger.
Yeah, right.
Okay, this is just a weird story.
Just to let everybody know, I'm on it, I'm looking at it, but I've never seen this before in my life.
We're learning more about the deadly crash of a Boeing passenger jet in China this week.
Chinese state-run media published this video, reportedly showing the 737-800 jet carrying 132 people.
dropping from the sky, flying into the ground at more than 640 miles per hour.
The extreme impact of the crash could hamper the investigation as crews try to find the black boxes.
A U.S. intelligence source says regarding the cause of the crash, nothing can be ruled out yet, including the possibility that the crash was intentional.
Ooh, ooh, bringing in some conspiracy theory there.
I heard from one of these AV experts, I didn't clip it, who says the only way you can take a 737 straight into the ground nose first is you've got to do it on purpose.
You've got to be pushing the thing to...
I concur.
To make it happen.
Yeah, I concur.
Do you remember back in, what was it, again in the 70s when we were having these crazy situations with airplanes?
I'll have to look into that.
But you should...
Well, we probably had a version of the 737 MAX in the 70s.
Wasn't there something where the doors kept popping off or the engine kept flipping out?
There was a couple of things with the DC-10.
DC-10, right?
The DC-10.
Yeah, I remember that too.
But it never caused any damage.
First of all, I'm skeptical that what we're seeing on that video is the aircraft.
I mean, I have no proof of that, and apparently they found the black box.
Man, I can't believe anything is left over.
The black box has limits, too.
The initial reports said they'd be lucky to find the black box, but then they find it.
Yeah.
The other thing was that this thing had a dive.
It had two steps.
Yes, around 8,000 feet it pulled up, and then it went back down.
So I'm thinking there's a fight in the cabin.
Possibly.
I would say pilot, co-pilot, probably.
Yeah, it dives, it dives, it dives, it dives, and they pull back control, and then the guy clubs him over the head with a fire extinguisher, and they go, and he gets knocked over, and then the original guy trying to kill everyone pushes the thing down right into the ground.
Alright, we're going to do a podcast, The Mysterious China Flight.
It's going to be a true crime investigation podcast.
It's going to be great, John.
I love the premise.
And we can get people to, we can get actors to scream.
To scream.
Yeah, but you go, you dive 21,000 feet to eight.
I can't even believe how they pulled out of that.
This is very odd.
And I'm just not sure that there was someone on the plane.
Maybe a whole bunch of people were looking at lists.
Someone named Fang Fang showed up.
That was hilarious.
Fang Fang.
You know Fang Fang?
No, I don't know Fang Fang.
From, what's his face?
The California representative who was having sex with Fang Fang.
Oh, having sex with...
Swalwell.
Swalwell's girlfriend, a Chinese spy.
But it was a different Fang Fang.
It was a dude.
But who knows?
Maybe they just annihilated the craft and then, oh, here's a video.
And you see that hole where it landed in the rice paddy?
Come on.
It was on the side of a hill.
It wasn't in a rice paddy at all.
It had all those ridges.
Ruffles had ridges.
He may seem stodgy, but he's faster than anybody in the West.
Very good.
Let's see.
I think it's time to take a break.
We're running out of time.
Well, we've got to do a little bit of...
I mean, I just want to run through some COVID stuff because they are cranking some stuff.
We almost made it.
No, no.
Actually, before we do that, it was party time in the European Parliament with many members standing up.
Justin Trudeau wants to come and speak to the EU Parliament.
I don't know why.
He's a showboater.
He thinks this is going to get him some points.
Well, and of course he just kind of rigged everything so he'll stay in power until 2025.
But listen to...
What's wrong with Canada?
This is one of the European members of parliament, the DEP, I think.
This is the only one that I really like the translation of.
Based on Article 195...
It wasn't even a translation.
It was the real thing.
...that it would have been more appropriate for Mr.
Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada, to address this house according to Article 144, an article which was specifically designed to debate violations of human rights, democracy, and the rule of law, which is clearly the case with Mr.
Trudeau.
Then again, a prime minister who openly admires the Chinese basic dictatorship, who tramples on fundamental rights by persecuting and criminalizing his own citizens as terrorists, just because they dared to stand up to his perverted concept of democracy, should not be allowed to speak in this house at all.
Mr.
Trudeau, you are a disgrace for any democracy.
Please spare us your presence.
Thank you.
Whoa, you got butt slammed!
Clip of the day.
Oh, thank you.
Clip of the day.
Clip of the day.
And well-deserved for Trudeau.
What a douche knuckle.
Yeah, that was dynamite.
Yeah, and there was a couple of them.
And they had translations, of course, but, you know, especially the Eastern Bloc guys were like, hey, you are, we know, we remember this kind of life.
You're bringing it back.
But of course this all comes after he's already secured his future to 2025 with the smallest vote possible.
Quick check here of the COVIDs.
We do need to do a few things.
The feds are lawyering up.
That's fun to watch.
USA Jobs is looking for trial attorneys, tort branch, constitutional and specialized tort litigation vaccine.
They're lawyering up.
Let me see what they say here.
Trial attorneys in office of Constitutional Specialized Tort Litigation Vaccine Litigation staff represent the interests of the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services in all cases filed in U.S. court federal claims under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act.
The cases involve claims of injury as a result of the receipt of vaccines covered by the act.
The position offers a unique experience in public service and involves trial practice.
So they're lorrying up.
They're getting ready for it because you know that's going to come.
In the meanwhile, let's just vaccinate kids some more while we're lowering up for them.
Now to that breaking news at this hour.
Encouraging news for parents.
Moderna announcing positive data on its vaccine in children from six months to six years old.
Trevor Ault is here with the latest on that.
Trevor, good morning.
Good morning, Whit.
This is going to bring relief to a lot of parents here.
Moderna says two doses of its pediatric vaccine generated a strong immune response in kids, and it did so with no significant risk.
The pediatric vaccine is one-fourth the dose that the adults received, and it was found to be 44% effective at preventing COVID-19 infection for six months to two years old.
38% effective from 2 to 6 years old.
And that's not just serious infections.
That is any infection with mild symptoms.
They say that's roughly the same antibody response that the vaccine generated in adults.
And most importantly, none of the children involved in these trials were severely sick.
None were hospitalized and there were no deaths.
Now, this morning, Moderna's president tells ABC News the company's working around the clock to complete its FDA application for emergency authorization by April.
From there, it's then up to the FDA and the CDC to make a decision.
And meanwhile, Pfizer, though, has delayed its request for emergency authorization for the youngest children under five.
They say they're going to wait for data on a third shot.
That is expected next month.
Did you hear that little bit of propaganda in there?
A little bit.
Well, I mean, okay, there's a lot, but the one I heard was this 38% number.
They said that the 38% number is exactly what adults receive.
I thought it was 97% they're talking about.
97, 95, 97, and now it's 38?
That is so 2020.
But they're lying about the numbers everywhere.
But the slip, this 38, what good is this 38?
It's no good.
Of course not.
But it's good enough to get a free ad for vaccinations.
So the Mayo Clinic produced a report.
Breakthrough hospitalizations, extremely uncommon after COVID-19 immunity.
Now, just listen to that headline again.
Breakthrough hospitalizations, that means you're in the hospital even though you've been vaccinated, extremely uncommon after COVID-19 immunity.
Mayo study finds.
Let's look at the numbers.
For vaccinated patients, 0.06 or 6 people in every 10,000 who are vaccinated had a breakthrough case of COVID. 0.01, or 1 in 10,000, were among those who were both vaccinated and infected previously.
But here's the kicker.
Remember, vaccinated patients, 6 in 10,000.
Vaccinated and infected previously, 1 in 10,000.
Infected but not vaccinated, only 3 in 10,000.
So while technically true that you are much less likely to have a breakthrough infection if you've been infected previously and you've been vaccinated, you're better off just being not vaccinated and previously infected than being vaccinated.
Yes, that sounds like the winner.
I mean...
Isn't that what they've been saying since day one?
But it's such a lie.
No, but they've been saying since day one that your best bet is to have had COVID. Oh, no.
I don't think they didn't say that from day one.
I disagree.
We have.
We have.
We have plenty of clips that say it since day one.
No, yeah, the mainstream media.
No, no, no.
Just get the shots.
Get the shots.
Now, tell me about if you don't find this weird.
So we had Jen Psaki, COVID for the second time, vaccinated, boosted as far as we know, but also President Barack Obama and almost President Hillary.
But listen to their tweets.
Barack Obama tweets, I just tested positive for COVID. I've had a scratchy throat for a couple of days, but am feeling fine.
Otherwise, Michelle and I are grateful to be vaccinated and boosted, and she has tested negative.
It's a reminder to get vaccinated if you haven't already, even as cases go down.
Now Hillary's tweet.
Well, I've tested positive for COVID. I've got some mild cold symptoms, but am feeling fine.
Same as Obama.
But am feeling fine.
Not but I am feeling fine.
No, but am feeling fine.
Really?
I'm more grateful than ever.
Grateful.
For the protection vaccines can provide against serious illness.
These are scam tweets.
Please get vaccinated and boost it if you haven't already.
Yes!
So they're ratcheting this up.
This is bull crap.
Yeah, but they need more money.
This is the whole thing.
They're talking about, oh, we're running out.
Why is Saki going to approach this?
Hey, I've got COVID yet again after being vaccinated and boosted, but I just have minor symptoms and I'm feeling fine.
What she can say is, yeah, but I'm feeling fine.
But I'm feeling fine.
And she'll say, but I didn't have to go to the hospital.
Yes.
Get vaccinated.
Be like me.
I will bet you $1.
She'll say, luckily, because I was vaccinated and boosted, I didn't have to go to the hospital.
I guarantee you she's going to say that.
And people will go, yeah, we're happy you're here, Jen.
That's all good.
Yeah.
It's a scam.
I'm going to show my soul by donating to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on No Agenda in the morning.
A few people to thank, starting with Laura Lee Ryan in Statesville, North Carolina with 133.
33.
Deborah Mascus in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, 111.33.
She did just write a note in.
I think hers is worth reading, if I can find it.
I can't find it.
You want me to listen?
No, here's what happens.
I had the note.
I put it where it belongs and I shuffle things around.
It's not one of the scanned notes?
Yeah, it's one of the scanned notes.
The long one, I believe.
What's the name again?
This is Debra.
No, I don't have a Debra.
Nope.
What's the long one?
There's one longer one.
No, it's not that long, actually.
Is that Dame Jamie?
Alexander of Middle Cascadia.
It's not long.
Oh, okay.
Well, let's go on with Mr.
E in Henry, South Dakota, 11111.
Mark Johnson in Newburgh, Oregon, 101.
Jacques Scherfer in Davie, Florida, 101.
Mike Salmon in Holderness, New Hampshire, 100.
Ian Field, 100.
He's in the UK. Alexander of Middle Cascadia.
He has a note there, I think.
Yes.
Well, let me see.
What does he say?
It was scanned, so why wouldn't we do it?
Sadly, it appears that the back office donation confusion for show 1432 reared its ugly head again for show 1433.
During show 1433, you mistakenly thought you had read my note previously and knighted me.
Neither happened!
I blame the long COVID, which is no joke.
Don't ask me how I know.
I've attached my original note and I'm asking for a make good if possible.
Ah, okay, this is it.
This donation elevates me to knight status.
If possible, I'd like the name Sir Alexander of Middle Cascadia and would enjoy feta cheese and Kalamata olives at the round table.
Excellent.
And I guess we will give you an R2-D2. I'm pretty sure he is, which is why we had this to read.
So the system worked once again.
Sir Ivo, Knight of the...
I don't know what that says.
Let me see.
Ivo, probably.
Is it...
Sir Ivo, Knight of the...
Yeah, no wonder.
Knight of the Valuosome.
He's in Dodevard.
Yeah, which is the dead zone.
9999 Netherlands.
Um...
Sir Kevin McLaughlin, the Duke of Luna, lover of America, and boobs!
Back!
8008 in Concord, North Carolina.
Eric Adler follows him up with 8008, and he's in Punta Gorda, Florida.
And he says, boobs!
And so Herb Lamb says, I'm going to get in on the action.
He's the Duke of the Deep South in Sugar Hill, Georgia.
And he says 8008, which is also boobs.
Short for boobs.
Gary Blatt, Wayne, Pennsylvania, 7777.
Edward Bala in Dublin.
Oh, Dublin, Ireland.
Ireland.
He needs a de-douching.
Okay, we can do that.

Of the Panhandle or Panhandle?
Every time he puts this, I always say something.
Barton, Vermont.
And he's 55-55.
Jason Petri in Rock Springs, Wyoming, 55-10.
Yeah, it was actually Jason's note that he said that told us that the science indicated the optimal speed limit back in the 70s, given automotive technology at the time was 45 miles an hour to have maximum fuel efficiency.
President Nixon felt he'd catch hell if the speed limit was below 65, so that's how 55 was to split the difference compromise.
And thanks for that, Jason.
The more you know.
I have to mention something in Jason's note.
He says, that evening he actually called me on my dad's home quote-unquote wire phone.
He was very pleasant, blah, blah, and he keeps on, hey, hey, hey, it's called a landline.
What was the thing that Obama used to always say?
A pedal car or something?
A clutch car.
Clutch car.
Oh my goodness.
I used to drive a clutch car.
No, it's called a stick.
And this is called a landline.
Okay, get this thing straight.
That's Jason.
He's in Rock Springs 5510.
James Frederick in Pepin, Wisconsin.
I'm sure you got that right.
I'm sure it's Fredericks.
55-10.

Timothy White in Maple Park, Illinois.

Happy first anniversary of her 39th birthday on March 26th.
Oh, okay.
Well, that'll continue forever.

Yeah.
That's what you do.

And the following people are $50 donors, name and location.
There may be a dedouching in there.

I left one out, which is Thomas Harrison in LeClaire, Iowa, 5001.

Welcome to the roundtable, you No Agenda Knights.
No agenda meet-ups!
I don't know exactly what's going on, but the meet-ups are off the hook.
I'm going to have to abbreviate some things.
It's incredible.
But first, a quick report from the Frozen Dead guys meet-up.
This is...
Let me see.
Who was this?
Who brought me this?
Okay.
I don't even know who...
I wrote this review, but I'm not sure if another Frozen Dead Guy's Days meetup will be sent in, a report by someone else.
But since I became the host at the last minute, I felt like I should share the recap.
The meetup was great, a big hectic, but still wonderful to get a group together to celebrate.
Co-host Anne-Marie and husband Jonathan brought a Bloody Mary bar to our Airbnb, and in total, about eight No Agenda people came to pre-Graham Before watching my fiancé and our friends compete in the coffin race.
This is really quite a thing.
It's drag races with coffins.
After the race, some people played human foosball.
We all enjoyed the concerts together.
It was a great time with no agenda and non-NA folks alike.
For those who want to know more about Frozen Dead, guys, you can listen.
Let me see.

All for power.
Thank you.
For you and John, I just want to write that out so it's been said with appreciation.
This meetup will grow.
We'll keep hitting him in the mouth.

Let me see.
I think we have some end-of-show ISOs.
Do you have anything to share?
Nope, I got nothing.
You got nothing?
The best of you.
Yeah, I know.
Okay, well, I have three to choose from.
You are a great American.
Is that...
We have this one.
That is a stupid question by a rather stupid person.
Maybe this one?
In the morning?
I don't think we have any...
I like the first one the best.
Yeah, I think.
Because it's Cory Booker crying over KBJ. Oh, yeah.
This guy's an idiot.
The guy's lost it.
I mean, he's like, you're one of us.
Like, Cory, no, man, you're really not one of us.
You are a great American.
I love the little thing in his throat.
I think I just have one.
Do we have anything left?
We've gone through a lot.
We've got to keep up with the news.
Okay.
So let's play Taliban kicks out the girls.
What?
Girls are on the losing end of a decision by Taliban rulers in Afghanistan today who've moved to postpone reopening schools for girls above the sixth grade.
The decision reverses a pledge the Taliban made to educate Afghan girls.
The announcement was made suddenly as Afghanistan's education ministry sought to the opening of the school year, having urged all students to return to classes.
Some girls in higher grades who had gone back to school were told to go home.
Now, what do you think this is all about?
It's just a book.
It's Joe Biden's fault.
It truly is.
At least according to Fox News.
I did that.
That's your deconstruction for today.
Holy moly.
We got a lot more to come on Sunday.
Anything could happen.
Keep your eye on the grid.
Keep your eye on your food.
Keep your eye on your pocketbook.
They're robbing us blind.
End of show mixes, we've got, well, of course, the dog in the stroller, which was requested.
We'll do the short version by Jesse Coy Nelson of that one.
We have, let me see, Amdusius and Rolando Gonzalez with his 50-second mix already.
Coming up next on the Noah Jenner stream, Trollroom.io, Rare Encounter.
Episode number 90, that's Sir Cold Acid and Sir Abel Kirby.
And coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No.
6 in the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where it's supposed to be a hot week and I'm not seeing it, I'm John C. Dvorak.
We return on Sunday right here on No Agenda.
Please join us and remember us at dvorak.org slash na.
Until Sunday, adios mofos!
and such.
So I'm just walking, minding my business.
I've got no mask.
No mask on.
And there's a lady coming from the opposite direction.
Check it out.
She's masked up.
She's got a baby stroller with two dogs in the stroller and one dog walking next to the stroller.
And she sees me.
She gets off of the sidewalk onto the street to go around me.
With dogs in the stroller.
With dogs in the stroller.
It's out of control.
With dogs in the stroller.
With dogs in the stroller.
There's a dog in the stroller.
In the stroller.
I get a little annoyed by the stay safe thing too.
Who says stay safe?
Everybody.
Go to the store and just say, okay, how's business?
Yeah, good.
Okay, I'll say so long.
Stay safe.
Okay, I'll see you later, Adam.
All right, stay safe.
Go f*** yourself.
What did you have for breakfast?
It's out of control.
With dogs in the stroller.
With dogs in the stroller.
Dogs in the stroller.
There's a dog in the stroller.
And we were all doing a tour of the library here and on passage of time.
So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time in terms of what we need to do to lay these wires, what we need to do to create these jobs.
And there is such great significance to the passage of time when we think about a day in the life of our children.
We need to stay very clearly.
This is the number one job Joe Biden has when he goes to Europe this week.
We need to stay very clearly.
So, Ukraine is a country in Europe.
It exists next to another country called Russia.
We got Kamala Harris.
Kind of a disaster unfolding every day and not far behind them is our own struggling cognitive mess that is Nancy Pelosi.
And there are such great significance to the passage of time when we think about a day in the life of our children.
When folks vote, they order what they want and in this case they got what they asked for.
I don't really have a lot of confidence in the government right now, Mr. St.
Speaker, but maybe I'm wrong.
You help me out.
We were all doing a tour of the library here and talking about the significance of the passage of time.
Right?
The significance of the passage of time.
The significance of the passage of time.
Right?
The significance of the passage of time.
So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time.
The television coverage of just yesterday.
That's on top of everything else.
That we know and don't know yet.
Based on what we've just been able to see.
And because we've seen it or not, doesn't mean it hasn't happened.
Right?
I am here, standing, here, on the northern flank.
Freedom!
The significance of the passage of time.
Lift people up.
I was there last night in the chamber of the Senate.
The significance of the passage of time.
Lift people up.
I've met with prime ministers and presidents from around the globe.
Right.
You know, it's about be.
Be and do.
Be the person you want to be and do the things you want to do and do the things that need to be done.
The significance of the passage of time.
It's about not letting anyone write our future for us, but instead going out and writing it for ourselves.
