	Move the line.
	That's all I care about.
	Adam Curry.
	John C. Devorak.
	It's Sunday, March 27th, 2022.
	This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, episode 1437.
	This is No Agenda.
	Cracking the laptop of doom!
	And broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No.
	6 in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where we're still trying to figure out whether Biden likes Putin or not, I'm John C. Devorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill in the morning!
	It's been a fantastic couple of days.
	It's just been so much fun.
	Watching the war unfold.
	It's been phenomenal.
	Should have been over weeks ago.
	This is a media deconstructor's dream.
	There's so much propaganda in the United States, around the world, but the United States.
	It's good, good, good, good.
	I'm so happy.
	You're number one.
	Yes, I'm so happy we withdrew and rescinded the Smith-Munt Act.
	We never would have had this great material.
	Well, we would have still had it.
	Check this out.
	It was just a smokescreen.
	Well, here's a promo for a new Hulu show.
	You thought he was God.
	He's now one of the most vilified men in the world.
	He is the everyman.
	Zelensky is the Tom Hanks of Ukraine.
	That a little nice Jewish boy, this 5'7", is showing up this KGB agent in the front one.
	What do you say to Americans who see Russia and you not only as a rival, but an unfriendly adversary?
	Two men at war.
	Which Vladimir will take over.
	The world is not going to be the same.
	Beautiful.
	Two men at war.
	We could use that for our show sometimes.
	Yeah?
	Two men at war.
	That's good stuff, man.
	That's good.
	They got the sound effects.
	They got the music bed.
	I'm happy with that.
	That's good.
	Yeah, it's going to be a piece of crap.
	Of course it is.
	Tonight's the, we got to remember, you got to watch the Oscars tonight.
	Oh, well, I wasn't going to bring it up.
	But since you did, I think I need to play a little interview that Jim Acosta, who has his own show on CNN these days, had with Sean Penn, savior of all people except in America.
	No, that's not true.
	I think they do some stuff in America, his core outfit.
	So he went and interviewed Zelensky, and he's been hanging around Ukraine, and of course he's very concerned about evil Putin.
	And, uh, et cetera.
	And, uh, he had a chat with him and, uh, Jim Acosta is asking him about this chat and, uh, and what he's learning.
	I was with as moving, as courageous, as extraordinary, uh, a, a person and face of his extraordinary country and people, as I would expect I ever will witness.
	And certainly that I ever have, uh, an incredibly moving human being on this, in this minute of time we're all sharing.
	Oh, And have you had a chance to speak with him since your meeting?
	Yes.
	And how did that go?
	How was that?
	You know, all I'll say, I'll just for the moment echo that aspect of it, that it continues.
	And I don't know the consensus with the documentary team I'm with.
	If I had something that I thought was more valuable to tell you, you know, for the greater problem right now, I would.
	But right now I'm going to kind of, you know, refrain.
	I totally understand.
	Yeah, I understand.
	Of course, Sean Penn is at the top of the intelligence pyramid, so we understand that he...
	I think what's overlooked and why he doesn't want to talk about it is because he talked to him when he was in Poland.
	Yes?
	What about it?
	Walensky's not supposed to be in Poland.
	Oh, that's why he didn't want to talk about it?
	Yeah, because if you look at the timeline and you read the article, and by the way, Sean Penn is just looking for publicity for his documentary.
	Wait for the second clip.
	Yeah, without talking about the need for publicity, but before the second clip, if you look at the timeline, Sean Penn had an interview with him, and then he was rushed out of the country, as you recall, because that was in the news cycle.
	Well, that got shut down pretty quick.
	Don't talk about that.
	So he got kicked out, and...
	Then he had another meeting with him somehow?
	Yeah, I guess so.
	And if you listen to the Biden speeches, which I'll play later...
	I have a lot of little short Biden clips, except for one.
	It seems as though all the hot shots, Biden says himself, he said in the audience in Warsaw, he had the Ministry of Defense and the Secretary of State of Ukraine in the audience.
	Oh, lovely.
	That was a flub, by the way, but he said it.
	And it seems as though Sean Penn was talking to Walensky in Poland.
	They're all in Poland.
	They're chicken shits.
	Now, tonight, as you mentioned, the Academy Awards are on, and I'm glad that you reminded everybody, because normally we would never watch this.
	The Academy Awards, as all award shows, have died dead as a doornail.
	No ratings, no one cares.
	But, you know, maybe if we bring back the political virtue signaling instead of Black Lives Matter, maybe that will help get some ratings.
	Maybe this whole war was just intended to bring back ratings to the Academy Awards.
	And as you know, Sean, the Oscars are tomorrow night.
	Do you want to see President Zelensky speak at the Oscars?
	And how do you think the ceremony, how the event...
	Hold on a second.
	Stop.
	Stop the clip.
	So, this isn't rehearsed, because why out of the blue would Acosta ask that question?
	Well, because Sean Penn has something to say.
	I'm not going to immediately jump to the conclusion that I want him to speak at the Oscars.
	He's not a Hollywood guy.
	No, but this is what we need, you see.
	He is a Hollywood guy.
	What, are you kidding me?
	This guy is literally an actor.
	Well, that doesn't mean it's a Hollywood actor.
	It doesn't matter.
	Keep playing the clip.
	It just seemed to me that Koska could have done a better job of acting himself.
	Well, that's why he's on TV. And Zelensky speak at the Oscars via some sort of video link.
	Some sort of video link.
	And how do you think the ceremony, how the event should recognize what is happening in Ukraine?
	What would you say, I guess, if you were there up on stage?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Let's get back to those speeches, which are so much fun.
	I'm glad you asked that question.
	Because we agreed that you would ask that question.
	Because, you know, there are those, and I think it sometimes has validity, who would say that, you know, politics are for another place, entertainment is for another.
	Yeah, those.
	I believe that anyone, as an audience or a practitioner of film, That understands what that expression is.
	That to restrict it to just film is to say it can't be on television, it can't be on the stage.
	To restrict it to any of those is to say it can't be embodied within a human being.
	That kind of nature of poetic courage.
	Do you understand how important cinema is, John?
	What the hell are you talking about?
	Cinema...
	I've got to rewind that a little bit.
	What the hell is he talking about?
	Because it's like, you know, cinema, it's cinema, man.
	Cinema embodies the human spirit.
	It's not just television.
	Television should also embody that.
	I don't know what he's talking about.
	To just film is to say it can't be on television, it can't be on the stage.
	To restrict it to any of those is to say it can't be embodied within a human being.
	That kind of nature of poetic courage.
	No wonder Madonna kicked him out.
	An expression that film aspires at its best to be.
	There is nothing greater that the Academy Awards could do Then to give him that opportunity to talk to all of us.
	He's an actor.
	And by the way, this is a man who understands movies and had his own very long and successful career in that.
	Very.
	I mean, Academy Awards all over the place.
	BAFTAs!
	Good!
	That is not me commenting on whether or not President Zelensky had wanted to.
	If the academy has elected not to do it, if presenters have elected not to pursue the leadership in Ukraine who are taking bullets and bombs for us, along with the Ukrainian children that they are trying to protect, then along with the Ukrainian children that they are trying to protect, then I think every single one of those people and every bit of that decision will have been the most obscene moment in all of
	And I hope that's not what's happening.
	All history.
	All history.
	If this turns out to be what's happening, I would encourage everyone involved to know that though it may be their moment, and I understand that, to celebrate their films, it is so much more importantly their moment to shine.
	And to protest and to boycott that Academy Awards.
	And I myself, if it comes back to it, when I return, I will smelt mine in public.
	I pray that's not what's happened.
	I pray there have not been arrogant people who consider themselves representatives of the greater good in my industry that have not decided to check in with leadership In Ukraine.
	So I'm just going to hope that that's not what's happened, and I hope that everybody walks out if it is.
	Oh, yeah.
	So the biggest insult you can...
	I mean, really, if you want to help stop the war, melt your awards, people.
	That's obviously.
	Just melt them down.
	Smelt them.
	I'm sorry, not melt them.
	Smelt them.
	Melt them.
	Before you get to Biden clips, because I think we need to do the Biden clips pretty quickly, there were just a few other amazing things going on in M5M. Pooper interviewed a Ukrainian jet fighter pilot.
	And I just have to set the scene for you.
	So this guy comes in and he's wearing like a Top Gun flight helmet, you know, with the dark goggles.
	And he's got the microphone in front of his mouth.
	And it's, you know, it's a very, very, just full on his helmet head.
	You can see a little bit of his beard.
	And it's, you know, you clearly see a huge lamp.
	Even though he's supposed to be on standby, getting ready to fly at any moment, you can see in his goggles this huge lamp, and you can almost see the crew.
	But okay, I'm sure that's fine at the airbase.
	And I just picked up a minute and a half because it's just too juicy to believe.
	One part of the war that we've gotten very little insight into is the battle for the skies, for air superiority.
	Skies!
	That's why it's important we think you hear from the man I spoke with just before air time.
	He's currently a fighter pilot in the Ukrainian Air Force.
	He was on standby when we spoke to him in full flight gear and wearing his helmet to partially protect his identity.
	Why?
	Yeah, why?
	Why?
	Why does he have to protect this?
	No one else protects their identity.
	Why?
	Why is he ashamed of being a fire pilot?
	Or is he some sort of actor that you could identify?
	Ah!
	Now you're talking.
	It's probably Sean Penn.
	...full flight gear and wearing his helmet to partially protect his identity.
	We agreed to only refer to him by his call sign, Juice.
	His call sign, John, is JUICE. Just so you know, JUICE. JUICE? That is the subliminal thing I also picked up on.
	Like, is it JUICE or JUICE? JUICE is JUICE. We agreed to only refer to him by his call sign, JUICE. JUICE, thank you for joining us.
	First of all, I have to ask you, where did you get the call sign JUICE? It sounds like American.
	Yeah, it's a real American call sign.
	During my trip in the U.S. a few years ago, my friends from California Air National Guard named me because I don't drink alcohol and every time in You know, in the bars, I just asking for some juice.
	The Russian Air Force, all the military analysts have said that the Russian Air Force has not been able to get air supremacy.
	Can you just talk a little bit about why that is?
	Read the script.
	Yeah.
	They are not able to gain full air superiority, but almost full.
	They have almost full air security.
	Because we have pretty limited number of air defense systems, limited number of aircraft, and all our systems are pretty old.
	So we are trying to fight.
	We do everything what we could.
	We're trying to do best.
	And Russians have a lot of losses.
	And they have a fear of our air defense.
	So they couldn't fly here just comfortable for them.
	We really fight them as well as we could.
	But unfortunately, we couldn't gain our air superiority in our skies.
	Okay, complete non-answer.
	I think the guy was wearing the helmet with the goggles so he could read the script.
	And I have a prediction.
	I predict that we will hear again from this fighter pilot ace named Juice.
	Juice.
	But he will perish over the skies of Kiev.
	Kiev, sorry.
	Oh, Juice.
	He will perish.
	And Tom Cruise will make Top Gun 5 about Juice.
	And he will play Juice.
	They already have one fake air superstar.
	What has that guy's name that never existed?
	He was shooting down Russia's left and right, supposedly.
	The Red Baron?
	Pretty much.
	The chat room knows what I'm talking about.
	Okay, well, before we get into the Biden clips, I want to play the NPR intro, which makes it sound like Biden gave the speech of a lifetime in Warsaw.
	Yeah.
	Oh, you must have seen the speech.
	Of course I saw it.
	I love the lighting.
	I love the setting.
	Now we know why he was there.
	We were questioning, why is Biden in Warsaw?
	They had the whole thing staged.
	It was fantastic.
	You didn't think so?
	You didn't think that was some dynamite lighting they had?
	I wasn't blown away, let's put it that way.
	I thought it was functional.
	Biden and Warsaw rap in NPR. In a major speech in Poland today, President Biden, wrapping up his trip to Europe, framed the war in Ukraine as a critical contest between autocratic regimes and all democratic nations.
	And Pierce Tamara Keith reports Biden also vowed that Russian President Vladimir Putin will not succeed in its efforts to dominate Ukraine.
	President Biden said the democracies of the world need to steel themselves for a lengthy battle for the rule of law and freedom, putting Russia's war on Ukraine in a broader context of maintaining the global order established after World War II. For God's sake, this man cannot remain in power.
	A White House official later clarified that Biden was not calling for regime change, but saying Putin shouldn't be allowed to exercise power over his neighbors in the region.
	Earlier in the day, after meeting with Ukrainian refugees and hearing their harrowing experiences, Biden called Putin a butcher.
	Tamara Keith, NPR News, Warsaw, Poland.
	Wow.
	I love, I love the cannot stay power.
	Power.
	He couldn't even use the word in.
	The thing is that he says this man cannot stay, I suppose, in power is what it meant.
	And then the White House had to clarify.
	Isn't he the president?
	Why do they have to clarify everything he says?
	Is he that muddled?
	I was looking for a clip where they use this terminology.
	Washington Post...
	Their headline, U.S. does not have a strategy of regime change in Russia, Blinken says.
	And then it goes, Biden's unscripted remark at the end of his 27-minute speech reverberated around the world and sparked a terse response from the Kremlin.
	So even the Washington Post is like, it's unscripted, man.
	Just read what's on the prompter, president.
	So no, he is not the president.
	I think Abe Blinken is the president here.
	Well, I think it's the other guy.
	No, you mean Jake?
	Jake.
	Yeah.
	But I just love that unscripted.
	Oh, it's unscripted.
	Oh, no.
	Well, there's a bunch of people that made a point of saying that was unscripted.
	People familiar with the script.
	I remember seeing that one.
	That's a good one.
	Yeah.
	I mean, what does that say about this administration?
	They're all like, well, I mean, we wrote it down right.
	I mean, we didn't want to do anything but stupid old Joe.
	By the way, I don't believe it for a second.
	I think it was scripted.
	I think it was in there because they are taking this man down.
	We'll get to that later.
	Good luck.
	It's easy.
	Biden wars.
	Okay, I want to get to this other point, which is that Zelensky's probably in Poland.
	And then that's why Sean Penn was so, guys, when he was asked a question about it.
	He refused to bring himself to say anything.
	Here's Biden warsaw with the Ukraine ministers.
	Listen to this carefully.
	There's a lot of crazy stuff in this speech, and this is one of them.
	It's a message I deliver today to Ukraine's foreign minister and defense minister, who I believe are here tonight.
	We stand with you.
	Period.
	Well, to be fair, that's a throwaway line that he always has wherever he is because he knows.
	And I believe your great senator is here tonight.
	Where are you?
	Stand up.
	They're there.
	Yeah, of course they're there.
	And that means Zelensky's probably there too.
	And that means all these videos we've seen.
	And in fact, if Zelensky would do a video to the Oscars, there's no way the Russians just wouldn't jam the transmission if it was a...
	It's originating in Ukraine, as opposed to Poland, where they can't do anything.
	Well, I mean, jam the transmission, John.
	I mean, that's kind of 1980.
	Yeah, well...
	I'm not going to do a satellite transmission.
	It'll be on the internet.
	It'll be on the...
	The internet in a suitcase.
	Nah.
	Yeah.
	Then they have to deliver...
	Probably already been filmed and recorded.
	Now you're talking.
	Before the war.
	It's already done.
	You're right.
	Before the war.
	Before the war.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Okay, so let's, yeah, is there anything to get this movie, Sean Penn's movie, get some sales?
	You're so cynical.
	That's a pretty good one.
	Come on, admit it.
	Yeah?
	Let's go with, now I got a couple of interesting, I got three that involve numbers.
	Okay.
	And I got two of them the same numbers.
	I got 200,000 left, 200,000 new.
	I want you to play the Biden 200,000 left clip, and I want to talk about that, and then we'll play the second one.
	200,000 people have allegedly already left.
	There's a brain drain leaving Russia, shutting down independent news.
	Really?
	200,000 Russians have left?
	That's what he says.
	And then he doubled down about a brain drain.
	Well, wait till he says brain drain the second time.
	You can't say brain drain twice.
	It's hard to say brain drain twice.
	So listen to this is 200,000 new.
	He says it again, the same thing about a minute and a half later in the speech.
	Is any wonder, as I said, that 200,000 Russians have already left their country in one month?
	A remarkable brain drain.
	Hold on a second.
	I missed this one.
	A remarkable brain drain.
	A remarkable brain drain.
	Ah, lovely.
	Well, that, I mean, so where did these 200,000 Russians go?
	And how could they even get into any other country?
	Aren't they persona non grata?
	Exactly.
	You can't travel.
	You can't fly.
	Did they walk?
	Did they walk?
	He makes it sound like the Russians are quitting the country.
	There's no evidence of this whatsoever.
	Did you look it up?
	There's no evidence of it.
	And where did they go?
	Oh, let's go to Moldova.
	Where did they go?
	Maybe they're walking across...
	I think Kazakhstan is welcoming us this week.
	Let's go there.
	Well, okay, so here's the...
	Here's the...
	Greg Jarrett...
	He's a fox guy.
	Over 200,000 Russians against the war have already left, robbing Russia of brains and talent.
	Oh, they're going to Turkey.
	Ah, thousands are seeking sanctuary in Turkey, which has kept its skies open with Russia.
	That, I don't know about 200,000, but I can see them flying to Turkey.
	They can fly to Turkey.
	Yeah, 200,000 in one month.
	I don't think so.
	It's just as bull crap as what it is.
	But the key is not the number.
	It's the robbing Russia of brains and talent.
	Oh no, all they have left is podcasters.
	So there's the other one he does.
	This one here, he's talking about our troops, American troops on the border, Of Ukraine.
	I want you to play this clip.
	This is Biden in the...
	Guess the number.
	Less of a NATO presence on his border, but now he has a stronger presence, a larger presence, with over 100,000 American troops here, along with all the other members of NATO. 100,000?
	When did we get 100,000 troops that are sitting there on the border with Ukraine?
	I thought we had 8,000 here, 15,000 there, maybe tops 25, 30.
	Yeah.
	Well, if this is any indication, the Selective Service for the United States, which is in case we ever reinstitute a draft, they've posted some information saying, hey, if you're a conscientious objector, get your objection in now.
	Which is kind of interesting.
	That is kind of interesting.
	That's not good.
	Conscientious objectors.
	Hold on.
	Here it is.
	Today, all conscientious objectors are required to register with the Selective Service System.
	A conscientious objector is one who opposes to serving in the armed forces and or bearing arms on the grounds of moral or religious principles.
	And it tells you how to apply and it tells you who qualifies.
	Once they get that list, you know what happens?
	Yeah, you're dead.
	No, they get vaxxed.
	Yeah, you're right.
	So, did you read anything about this 100,000 troops on the border?
	No.
	I didn't see it analyzed by any of the pundits or anything, but he said it.
	You heard it?
	Yeah, I don't know where that...
	I mean, he also...
	Let's see what this is.
	The Sun reports it.
	Reuters, oh.
	Oh, okay.
	I see how this works.
	This is great.
	Ukraine says Russia has nearly 100,000 troops near its border.
	Could he be confused?
	Biden confused?
	No.
	No.
	Okay, let's go.
	Here's another one.
	These are short.
	This is three seconds.
	Biden is talking about Russia using Bruce Force.
	Wait a minute.
	Oh, here it is.
	Using Bruce Force and disinformation.
	That's the Caitlyn Jenner weapons of mass destruction.
	Bruce Force.
	Bruce Force.
	Let's hear that again.
	Using Bruce Force and disinformation.
	Bruce Force.
	I love that.
	That could be a show title.
	That could be a show title.
	This is a goldmine.
	Bruce Force is good.
	We should hire the president as a writer.
	That's good.
	Now we go with...
	I have one clip that's a medley, which of course is always good.
	Hold on a second.
	A medley or is it the supercut?
	No, I know.
	I don't want to play the medley.
	The medley goes last.
	Okay.
	This is the Biden in Warsaw 1, the faith quote.
	Okay.
	Power of resilience, power of the people.
	In the face of a cruel and brutal system of government.
	What did...
	Hold on.
	I can't understand the man.
	Power of resilience, power of the people.
	In the face...
	Face?
	...of a cruel and brutal system of government.
	Oh, okay.
	It was a message that helped end the Soviet repression.
	In the Central Land and Eastern Europe 30 years ago, it was a message that will overcome the cruelty and brutality of this unjust war.
	When Pope John Paul brought that message in 1979, the Soviet Union ruled with an iron fist behind an iron curtain.
	Then a year later, the Solidarity Movement took hold in Poland.
	Well, I know he couldn't be here tonight.
	We're all grateful in America and around the world for Lech Walesa.
	Reminds me of that phrase from philosopher Kierkegaard.
	Faith sees best in the dark.
	Wow, there's a lot in there.
	There's a lot in there.
	I thought Lech Walesa was a problem, dude.
	Was he great?
	He was the one who more or less liberated Poland, at least representatively.
	Right, but then it seemed like this solidarity movement became problematic somehow.
	I think you slapped a girl on the butt and that was the end.
	Oh, that's how it always ends.
	I just want to ask you about your medley before you play it.
	Is that the supercut?
	It's not a supercut, it's a cut I put together.
	Oh, okay, cool.
	Constant gaffes.
	Nice.
	Let's go with, this is a WTF cut, because I want you to explain what he's saying here.
	This is the Biden-Putin call.
	Putin has the gall to say he's did-nazifying Ukraine.
	It's a lie!
	No, I understand what he says.
	What do you say?
	He says Putin has the gall to say he's de-nazifying Ukraine.
	Is that what his word was?
	De-nazifying Ukraine.
	Yeah, that's what the word is.
	Putin has the gall to say he's didnazifying Ukraine.
	It's a lie!
	It's a lie!
	That's right.
	Whatever you hear, it's a lie.
	This whole speech consisted of a lot of...
	Debunking.
	Debunking.
	Presidential debunking.
	Well, no, it's the way he did it.
	It was like, and then the res, and then blah, blah, blah.
	Then he yelled.
	Yeah, and he got really loud.
	And then he backed off.
	You know what I think that is?
	You know how when you're driving and you get really tired, Kind of woozy.
	I don't think Dad's it.
	You open the window and you go, shout, shout, let it all out!
	You slap in your face.
	I think that's what he's doing.
	He's dozing off.
	He's trying to stay awake.
	Yes, yes, yes, yes.
	That's an interesting theory I didn't even consider.
	But he is Sleepy Joe.
	He is Sleepy Joe for a reason.
	So we're trying to...
	Here's another one.
	This is not the ISO for the ISO, but this is Biden ISO on principles.
	I couldn't quite understand what he said here.
	These principles of ours are essential.
	It's a new word.
	You concatenate principle of ours to Prince ours.
	These principles of ours are essential.
	These principles of ours.
	It's Prince of ours.
	It's a new word, Prince of ours.
	This is a longer, 16 whole seconds.
	Biden, this is the rules-based order.
	We emerged anew in the great battle for freedom.
	A battle between democracy and autocracy.
	Between liberty and repression.
	Between a rules-based order and one governed by brute force.
	Hmm.
	Is he talking about America?
	So what he's saying there is that means that he can, with brute force, take away people's yachts and...
	Oh, yeah.
	No, that's rules-based.
	They just made new rules.
	That's because it's rules-based.
	It's new rules.
	New rules.
	Here we go with...
	I'm getting...
	I'm winding down.
	This is the Warsaw Freedoms.
	Warsaw Freedoms.
	For essential democratic principles that unite all free people.
	The rule of law...
	The freedom to speak, to write and to assemble.
	The freedom to worship as one chooses.
	Freedom of the press.
	These principles are essential in a free society.
	Yeah, that's right.
	You can't go to church during lockdowns and all that stuff.
	You get arrested if you're a trucker in Canada.
	Yeah, exactly.
	It's essential.
	These freedoms are essential.
	So that is kind of like the counter-argument, those clips of the counter-argument to the great report put out by NPR about what a great speech this was.
	Yeah, no kidding.
	But let's put together the Biden medley, which includes...
	Right in the middle, he changes his whole tone to talk about a kid grabbing his leg.
	His hairy leg?
	Except for...
	It didn't say hairy.
	But except for that, the rest of it is mostly him shouting and mumbling and bumbling his way through like a head shaker of a speech.
	And this is the Biden medley.
	These principles are essential.
	Today's fighting Kyiv and Metropole and Kharkiv are the latest battle in a long struggle.
	Thwart the designs of autocracy.
	Putin has the gall to say he's didnazifying Ukraine.
	It's a lie!
	I met with him in person, talked to him many times on the phone.
	Using brute force and disinformation, swift and punishing costs.
	The economy is on track to be cut in half before this invasion.
	And it is Putin, it is Vladimir Putin who is to blame, period.
	America forces are in Europe, not in Europe.
	Don't even think About.
	Moving on one single inch of NATO territory.
	I visit here in Assel Stadium.
	Where they gripped my hand.
	Little kids hung onto my leg.
	The mayor and the mayor, they're opening their hearts and their homes.
	But not Metropole.
	Excuse me, not Mariupole.
	With purpose and unity found in months.
	Blocking the image of civilian targets, mass graves, starvation tactics.
	A remarkable brain damage.
	Paternity wars, for God's sake, being pummeled.
	With Russian missiles and bombs.
	You were a 21st century nation.
	This is not the future reserve you deserve for your families.
	That's why just yesterday in Brussels I announced the plan.
	Because the darkness that drives autocracy for the pan-European picnic for the brave Ukrainian people never become discouraged for free people refused for God's sake.
	This man cannot remain power.
	Thank you for your patience.
	Well, this is...
	This makes sense for our show.
	Thanks to you, Ed!
	Is this Crown Hog Day 2?
	We're just going to have a new sequence of Sharpton teleprompters.
	It'll be Biden speeches.
	That was nice.
	I like that.
	It was well put together.
	That was good.
	Yes, thank you.
	Very sad to see this.
	I think America looks like big jack-off bully.
	Because he, unscripted or not, and it's just, if Trump had said that, I know, what about is him?
	Oh, can you imagine all hell would have brought him?
	Impeach!
	Impeach for being a warmonger, yeah.
	And then, I don't have it, but he talked about the rubble, the ruble being rubble, you know, rubbleizing the rubble.
	I mean, these are not things to be proud of.
	No.
	I mean, and it's like because of our might.
	He's not a peacemaker, that's for sure.
	No, he's not speaking on my behalf.
	He does want to check in two weeks, oddly enough.
	There was a couple speeches that he did, and this was widely reported on Twitter.
	I figured I'd play it.
	There is a presidential election coming up in 2024.
	And as you know, there are white.
	Yes, it's true.
	And there are widespread concerns in Europe that a figure like your predecessor, maybe even your predecessor himself, might get elected president again.
	It's incredible how, you know, they're going to go through this whole minute and not once will they say the name Trump.
	You know, this is the international press saying your predecessor, your predecessor.
	So are there any steps, anything you are trying to do and NATO is trying to do here these days to prevent what you're trying to do becoming undone two years from now?
	I think what he asked is, I think what this journalist said is, you know, there's a lot of worry about your predecessor coming back into power.
	Has NATO, and have you and NATO thought of anything to do yet?
	Like, I don't know, a cruise missile on his, I mean, isn't that what he's asking?
	Are you guys going to shoot this guy or are you going to let him run again?
	No, that's not how I think of this.
	I've been dealing with foreign policy for longer than anybody is involved in this process right now.
	I have no concerns about the impact.
	I made a commitment when I ran this time.
	I wasn't going to run again.
	And I mean that sincerely.
	I had no intention of running for president again.
	And until I saw those folks coming out of the fields in Virginia carrying torches and carrying Nazi banners and literally singing the same vile song.
	Rhyme that they used in Germany in the early 20s, or 30s, I should say.
	And then when the gentleman you mentioned was asked what he thought, and a young woman was killed, a protester, and he was asked what he thought.
	He said, there are very good people on both sides.
	And that's when I decided I wasn't going to be quiet any longer.
	Wait, wait.
	Hold on.
	So his timeline is all screwed up.
	When he ran for president is when he started running that he said he was only going to run for one term.
	Yes, that's correct.
	That incident, Charlottesville, Charlottesville, whatever it was, took place long before he even threw his hat into the ring, let alone get elected.
	He decided to run for re-election two or three years into, or two if he's only been in one year, but he decided right off the bat to run again.
	After lying about not wanting to run again.
	This is bull crap.
	We're trying to make this up.
	Well, also, the quote is very fine people, not very good people, and that's out of context, and it's a lie.
	Oh, yeah, with that, we've given up on that.
	Scott Adams was all triggered about it, of course.
	Scott Adams doesn't understand that he's not the hypnotist he thinks.
	He tried to hypnotize Twitter, and it failed.
	Oh, no!
	Now I have some alternative reporting, as in not what we're seeing here in the United States.
	And not that this is anything other than an M5M report from Sky News, but there is a little interesting tidbit in this report.
	Yeah, hello to you.
	This happened around an hour and a half ago.
	There was an air raid siren and reports of jets flying overhead, and then reports of three loud explosions, followed by...
	This large fire, which you can probably make out behind me, this huge black plume of smoke which is filling the air in this area of Lviv.
	Now, we went down to the area as close as you could get to the fire.
	There were police, emergency services, soldiers moving everyone away.
	We saw a number of people arrested for taking pictures and for reasons we don't yet know.
	What do you think that's about?
	Why are the police arresting people taking pictures of damage done by Russians?
	Why would they be arresting people?
	Doesn't make any sense.
	And she even says, why?
	We don't know.
	It's moving everyone away.
	We saw a number of people arrested for taking pictures and for reasons we don't yet know.
	Maybe because it's people who are taking pictures and have a different story or interpretation?
	Possibly.
	Maybe in the pictures it shows this Ukrainian pilot?
	Airplane?
	There's a million possibilities.
	Telesur is a Venezuelan outfit.
	Telesur is a real...
	I'm staying away from the YouTube videos and Rumble and Instagram and TikTok.
	Don't forget BitChute.
	Brideon seems to have left our vernacular for some reason.
	I think Brideon has lost out.
	Oh, the Telesur, T-L-E-S-U-R. You can get it on some cable systems.
	It's available on Pluto.
	So I'll consider that to be M5M for the moment.
	And they had a boots on the ground report with a reporter and who also talked to another reporter who was there.
	And it's just a little different than we're hearing from Jim Acosta.
	Yes, in several parts of the areas that were controlled by the Ukrainian Nazi battalions, the Russian army is now distributing humanitarian assistance.
	This particular town was hit by these battalions and destroyed a factory, destroyed school, and there is a severe crisis going on here.
	And to talk about this, I have a guest.
	She's an American...
	A Canadian journalist living in Russia, Eva Bartlett.
	Eva, what's the humanitarian situation in the newly liberated areas of the Donbas?
	Well, I think as people will see behind us, people are lining up for the supplies, which are actually quite sufficient, it seems.
	And they're coming in batches to collect supplies.
	And I would note that this is similar to what we saw in Syria once areas were liberated of terrorists that had occupied these areas and starved the civilians.
	Once the areas were liberated, humanitarian corridors, well, before they were liberated, humanitarian corridors were set up.
	Civilians fled to secure areas, and then they were given humanitarian aid.
	And is this issue really covered by the mainstream media in the West?
	Absolutely not.
	And it might seem strange, but I've been taking photos of the actual aid packages, what goes into the boxes or the bags, because I know the predictable Western response will be, well, they're empty or something like that.
	But they contain a variety of proteins, vegetable in tins, chocolate even, water obviously.
	And, you know, it's not going to be reported on in Western media.
	Or they will say this is just a stage, you know, that these are just actors or this is just happening in one region.
	We've seen a few regions already and we've only been here for a couple of days.
	I'm sure that's fake news.
	There's no way that can be real.
	The guy even said Nazi battalions.
	This is not true.
	It's not possible.
	He did.
	He said Nazi battalions.
	Yeah, there's no phosphorus going off over Lviv shot off by the Azov Battalion.
	I have the best white phosphorus clip from Democracy Now!
	Now you might as well play the Amy warning.
	I do have a bunch of Democracy Now!
	clips.
	Well, I think in this case, I think that's...
	So before you play the clip...
	Well, but I have to do the trigger warning.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, let's do that first.
	Warning.
	Amy Goodman clip inbound.
	There'll be a few.
	In context of the war, that was pretty good.
	So, she can't let a good opportunity to go to waste so far as needling the U.S. military.
	Listen to the white phosphorus clip on Democracy Now!
	Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday.
	Volodymyr!
	using white phosphorus munitions during its assault.
	Video released by the British channel ITV corroborates the claim, showing streaks of bright light falling over Kiev's suburb of the European earlier this week.
	White phosphorus ignites on contact with oxygen and burns at extremely high temperatures.
	It's fat-soluble, easily absorbed through the skin and can melt through flesh.
	Russia previously used white phosphorus in attacks on Chechnya.
	The incendiary is often called whiskey peat by the U.S. military, which uses substance in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria.
	In 2004, U.S. Marines used white phosphorus as an offensive weapon in Fallujah, Iraq.
	Use of white phosphorus as an offensive weapon violates international laws on chemical weapons.
	Yes, given to them by Poland because they're U.S. weapons.
	This is easily traceable.
	So I realized because I was bitching and moaning on the show about what's in the Russian playbook about chemical weapons and this is what it is.
	Because the white phosphorus was used in Chechnya And that makes it in the Russian playbook, and that's what they're talking about, chemical weapons.
	I thought chemical weapons, they were referring to poison gas or something like that, but no.
	It's always been about white fosters, but no one's ever explained it, never said it.
	And then they didn't, I think maybe the reason they didn't say it is because then they have to do what Amy did, which is note that we use white phosphorus all the time.
	Whiskey Pete or whatever they call it.
	Whiskey Pete, I like that, Whiskey Pete.
	Of course we do.
	We made that, we gave it to Poland, Poland gave it to the Azov Battalion.
	They're the ones that used it, but that's not her report, so.
	And I'm just, I only know people who are familiar with the matter.
	Well, somebody's using it.
	Somebody's using it, yeah.
	Now, I've got some stuff.
	I'm staying with Amy.
	I've got this.
	Do you remember Yanis Yakokoupa?
	Yes.
	Yeah, the economist who was in Greece.
	In Greece, the Greek guy.
	The Greek guy, yeah.
	I have some clips.
	I have specifically...
	Maybe we should just say, he was the guy fighting for Greece when the IMF and the World Bank and all the hedge funds were all trying to get them to take...
	What is the measures?
	When you have to tighten...
	To eat it.
	To basically, yeah, have no money and to eat dirt.
	Gosh, I can't remember.
	It was a word everyone was using at the time.
	Austerity.
	Austerity.
	Choose for austerity.
	And, of course, the Greeks didn't choose for austerity.
	And then the Giannis guy...
	I think he quit the government in disgust or whatever, but he kind of turned a little bit into a bit of a douchebag down the line, if I recall.
	He turned into a communist.
	He's pretty much...
	He partners in some sort of international operation with Bernie Sanders as some socialist.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, there you go.
	So that's why he's on democracy.
	Now he fits right in.
	So let's listen to a few clips here because...
	I've got three clips opening.
	We can skip clip number two, go to three.
	But then I have the oligarchs clip, which is the one we really want to listen to because it brings home something very interesting.
	This is Giannis V1. Oh, sorry.
	We begin today's show with Yanis Varoufakis, member of the Greek Parliament, former finance minister of Greece, founder of the Progressive International, with U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders.
	He's joining us from Athens.
	It's great to have you with us.
	Thanks so much for joining us, Yanis.
	What the hell did she swallow?
	Cud?
	Did you hear that?
	She's always swallowing.
	She's got something wrong with her esophagus.
	Yeah.
	...with U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders.
	He's joining us from Athens.
	It's great to have you with us.
	Thanks so much for joining us, Giannis.
	If you can respond to this triple summit yesterday in Brussels of NATO, of the EU, the European Union, and of the G7, of the increased sanctions and overall what this war means.
	There is an unprecedented show of unity within the West.
	But what is lacking are two things, Amy, if I may say.
	Firstly, an appreciation of the fact that the rest of the world is not showing complete alignment with the West.
	This is an understatement.
	Even though the majority of countries in the United Nations voted against Russia, if you look at the countries that didn't, they contain more than half of the population of the world.
	Including not just China, but also India and many other countries.
	The second thing that's missing from this show of strength and the impressive sanctions that have been agreed against Putin and his henchmen is a game plan.
	Exactly what is President Biden aiming for?
	Yes, it is important for him and for his government, for his administration, to show support for the Ukrainians to provide Stinger missiles, to provide economic sanctions for Putin, which, of course, we know are not going to debilitate the Putin regime.
	But what is exactly the aim?
	Is it regime change in Russia?
	Well, whenever the United States tried regime change, it didn't turn out very well and has never been tried with a nuclear power.
	This is like playing with fire or nuclear fire, I should say.
	hmm The Progressive International...
	It's an interesting organization, including Noam Chomsky, Jeremy Corbyn.
	Yeah, it's John Cusack.
	Hello.
	But what's interesting about them, because I always go to the donate page to see, you know, if it's like an ActBlue.
	Do they go to ActBlue?
	No, no.
	They only take Bitcoin and Ethereum.
	They don't take any other form of donation.
	Well, that's fishy.
	I don't know.
	It's fishy to me.
	It's fishy.
	They're trying to cover up whatever they're making.
	They're going to hide it and hide it and keep it, which is funny.
	You can't really hide the donations coming into your public Bitcoin address.
	It's still going to be funny in terms of the way he feels about ditching taxes.
	We'll play clip two of this series.
	But you notice the one thing that's in there is that India voted against...
	They did not support.
	They're carrying water for Putin on their head.
	They are the biggest democracy in the world.
	So when Biden goes on and on and on about democracies, democracies, democracies, the biggest democracy in the world is India and they're not on board.
	No, they are in fact backup Russians now.
	I think we should kick them off of Swift.
	Yeah!
	Yeah!
	You know what?
	Why not?
	This could happen.
	Because they're still the spearhead of the digital coin, so...
	Oh, okay.
	Don't forget that.
	That's right.
	They got one rolling.
	Yeah, that would be a bad idea.
	So, actually, we can skip part two of this because he brambles about something.
	But let's go to part three.
	This would be number three.
	I wish the European Union existed in substance so that, you know, the president of the European Union could be sitting down with Putin.
	But we don't have that.
	The European Union is a disunion, really.
	So, Biden is the only representative of NATO, of the West at the moment.
	I'm not going to pass judgment on that gentleman.
	He is, however, the only one who can sit down with Putin.
	They can talk on the phone to begin with before they actually sit down.
	Their foreign ministers will have to come to these exchanges.
	But the idea must be really very simple.
	Putin must be given a golden bridge from which to escape his conundrum.
	He must be given something he can sell to his own people as possible.
	Mission accomplished.
	The only thing we can, as Democrats and internationals, we should be able to tolerate is, you know, the neutrality of the Ukraine.
	I'm sorry, did he call himself a member of the internationals?
	Yeah.
	That kind of conjures up a movie, doesn't it?
	Yes, probably a movie.
	To escape his conundrum.
	He must be given something he can sell to his own people as...
	Mission accomplished.
	The only thing we can, as Democrats and internationals, we should be able to tolerate is, you know, the neutrality of the Ukraine.
	Because this is a tiny, tiny, non-existent price to pay for ending the war, having Russian troops evacuate the Ukraine, some kind of arrangement to be established for the Donbas area, We could kick into the long grass the question of Crimea.
	It could be something to be discussed in 10 years or so.
	In order to stop the killing, And to stop the toxicity which is spreading from Ukraine across Europe, across the United States, I've been hearing senators in the United States, members of parliament, various European countries, calling for NATO to intervene, because we know what that will mean.
	It will mean that the nuclear threat is going to reach levels that we haven't seen since the Cuban Missile Crisis.
	We should be moving towards a rational...
	solution that will leave everybody slightly dissatisfied, the Ukrainians, the Russians, me, you, Biden, Putin, but which will end the killing and will lead to an independent democratic Ukraine.
	You know, I'll give Amy and Democracy Now!
	this.
	At least they're discussing the so-called off-ramp.
	No one else is talking about this.
	Do we bring Russia back into the financial system?
	Does McDonald's reopen?
	There's none of this talk.
	Of course there's not.
	Yeah, but that's very dangerous.
	Any strategist like Jesse Waters would know this.
	It's shameful.
	It's shameful to cover it.
	Alright, now these two clips are a little, kind of about the same thing, but not quite.
	And this is the hair, and if anybody out there has a lot of money or they have rich friends, they should listen to the next two clips.
	And donating to the show.
	Well, donate to the show before you listen to these clips.
	Or actually, no.
	That doesn't matter.
	You better donate to the show because you're going to be screwed.
	This is what I've been talking about, complaining about bitterly, and this is the first person that has introduced it into the public discussion at this level.
	So play, this is on the sanctions, this is part one.
	Wait, this is the question from Amy.
	I don't know exactly which clip I'm looking for.
	You're looking for a virus and the oligarchs won.
	I thought we already played that.
	Maybe I'm wrong.
	Nope.
	You write in a recent article headlined, Why Stop at the Russian Oligarchs?
	Perhaps the only silver lining in the Ukrainian tragedy is that it's created an opportunity to scrutinize oligarchs not only with Russian passports, but also their American, Saudi, Chinese, Indian, Nigerian, yes, Greek counterparts.
	An excellent place to start would be the London mansions that Transparency International tells us sit empty.
	How about turning them over to refugees from Ukraine and Yemen?
	Talk more about this.
	Yeah, this is a really good idea because that could never happen to anybody else, only to oligarchs.
	Wow, the rules-based order at play.
	Now listen to his response, and I want this to be a...
	This is something everyone should pay careful attention to, because where do you draw the line if you're going to...
	And by the way, where's rule of law, due process, and all the rest of it?
	Listen to this carefully.
	For many, many years now, we've all known through the Panama Papers, through a variety of leaks of Transparent International that are oligarchs, the oligarchs of this planet.
	The Russians, the Qataris, the Saudis, the Americans, the Greeks, they have been absolutely abusing our societies, our states, our tax systems.
	Yes, the Russians are pretty ugly in what they are doing.
	They have plundered in a very short space of time the mineral resources, the industries of Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
	And they have bought their mansions in London, football teams and so on.
	So it's a wonderful opportunity, the fact that Ukraine has concentrated our minds on what the Russian oligarchs are doing, to contemplate moving beyond them.
	Because Russian oligarchs, it has been estimated, have taken $200 billion out of Russia, looted money, plundered money.
	But American oligarchs have taken $1,200 billion out of the jurisdiction of the United States of America, hiding it from the IRS. And they are not much nicer people than the Russian oligarchs, I have to say.
	They have not protested the massacres of Yemenis in Saudi Arabia.
	They have not protested the killing of journalists like Asoji in the Saudi Arabian embassy or consulate in Istanbul.
	They have not lifted their little finger to help us Hell yeah, there it is.
	There it is.
	Did you notice the little implication that this is about behavior?
	Our oligarchs aren't behaving correctly.
	They're not giving money to this.
	They're not protesting to him anything.
	They're not doing this or not doing that.
	Let's steal their stuff.
	Said the Progressive International.
	And what's interesting is he references the Panama Papers, which show very clearly that Zelensky is a billionaire with offshore money, and I think he might have a mansion in Miami.
	But he's in the Panama Papers.
	Oh, I didn't know that.
	Yeah, well, what?
	Amy didn't report that?
	The point is on this clip is that they're going to go after everybody's money.
	Yep.
	If you don't behave correctly, the behavior thing in there, which was a very slight moment in his little spiel, was the one that got to me.
	It said because they're not behaving right, they're not behaving like good little boys and girls, they're subject to have their stuff just confiscated.
	Let's just grab the yacht without due process.
	No, no.
	Screw the rules.
	And isn't this kind of starting to happen?
	I mean, it's all hyperbole, but President Biden saying, oh, we got a wealth tax.
	We're going to tax 20%.
	Yeah, wealth tax is just the beginning.
	20% of your...
	It's called a millionaire's tax.
	...of your unrealized gains.
	So you think that's not going to come to everybody else?
	It's going to be everybody, but the point...
	And it's going to be...
	It's going to be...
	Inconsistent is going to be, if you behave correctly, that's not going to happen to you.
	Yes, behave right by giving one of your mansions to refugees.
	That's behaving.
	Now, so, wait a minute, didn't the football team owner, didn't he say, well, I'm going to sell the team and I'm going to give the proceeds to Ukraine?
	He said the Ukrainian war effort, which, I don't know, might make it worse.
	Yeah, that's what he did.
	No, you're absolutely right.
	And they're coming for you.
	The progressive internationals are on the warpath.
	I think Amy's in the club.
	Well, she's got no money.
	She doesn't care.
	She's the mouthpiece.
	Yeah, but Giannis has money.
	He's got money.
	Oh, Giannis has money, but if you're running this show, you can't worry about your own money.
	Oh, that's really good.
	I just found this to be a ludicrous...
	Well, it's what we've been wanting to hear someone hear, because we've been talking about this.
	This is a bad precedent, just grabbing people's shit.
	Oh, yeah, it makes you feel good, but, you know, where does it end?
	And here he is saying...
	And he's actually spurring it on.
	You're not behaving properly.
	There you go.
	Hmm.
	Um...
	Can you give me a message from the grave with Echo?
	Can I give you a message from the grave?
	Yeah, with your Echo machine, like a message from the grave.
	Oh.
	Please?
	What message from the grave do you want?
	I just want the jingle, message from the grave.
	Oh, okay.
	Message from the grave!
	Madeleine Albright, in her final op-ed before she, as you would say, dropped dead, she recorded her impressions after meeting President Putin after he became the acting president of Russia in 2000.
	We're going to believe this tale, are we?
	What do you mean we're going to believe this tale?
	We're going to, whatever you're going to tell me.
	Yes, you will literally believe this tale.
	Okay.
	Flying home, I recorded my impressions, Albright shared.
	It's from the Washington Post.
	Yeah, so you know it's true.
	Very believable source.
	Flying home.
	Wait, let me see, it was Washington Post and New York Times.
	Hold on, it was one of the two.
	Yeah.
	Washington Post.
	Flying home.
	I recorded my impressions, Albright shared.
	Putin is small and pale, I wrote.
	So cold as to be almost reptilian.
	Takes one to know one.
	Why would she say reptilian?
	Maybe she had a meeting with Hillary and it was just on her mind.
	That's a message from the grave, man.
	She's telling us Putin's a reptile.
	We know they're real.
	I take her seriously.
	Now that she's dead.
	Does he sweat?
	So, beside the obvious issues, which is energy costs...
	Who knows?
	Are we switching out of Ukraine?
	No, no, no.
	We're not switching out of Ukraine.
	All of this is Ukraine-related.
	But if you have more clips, let's do it.
	I just have the one clip.
	Yeah, please.
	Because this clip actually goes with your clip about the cops arresting people for taking movies.
	This is the protest in Ukraine NPR clip that is just somewhat baffling.
	Protest in Ukraine.
	That doesn't start with a...
	Yes, it does start with a P. Russian forces are facing stiff military resistance in Ukrainian cities, including the capital, Kyiv.
	But as NPR's Nathan Rock reports, they're also encountering peaceful protests from Ukrainian civilians.
	Russian troops entering Slavojich, a small town near Chernobyl in northern Ukraine, were met with a large crowd of protesters this weekend.
	Social media videos show a crowd of hundreds waving flags and chanting, Slavojich is Ukraine.
	Slavojich!
	And less radio-friendly phrases.
	Ukrainians have protested in other cities with a heavy Russian presence.
	Kherson, Melitopol, Mikhaliv, and others.
	Ukraine's armed forces say they're continuing counter-offensives in a number of other cities.
	Roughly 10 million Ukrainians have been displaced from their homes.
	So Russian troops come in and there's a bunch of protesters and they don't gun them down.
	I mean, the way they're presenting this war is that Russians should just gun them down, but they don't.
	Machine gun them right on the street.
	They saluted them and went by?
	Very interesting.
	Or gave them the finger and went by because I guess they're cussing them out.
	Well, of course, they didn't even tell us because it was less radio friendly.
	Come on, man.
	You could at least...
	I mean, we have things like the N-word.
	You know, we have ways you can say it.
	I'm curious now.
	That now just sounds like he made it up.
	And we're allowed to see dead children?
	Mothers dying in maternity wards?
	All that's okay, but you can't have someone say, fuck Putin?
	Seriously?
	What's wrong with our media?
	Give me a break.
	We could just say F Putin and we'd get the picture.
	Yeah.
	So the European Union, now that the energy harakiri is upon us, or upon them, the idiots in the EU who purposely passed law to kick Russia off of SWIFT, because it was a genius idea not to be able to buy gas from him or make it at least iffy if the supply would continue, Now, if this were Trump, I'd be like, oh, that was 4D chess.
	But it's not.
	EU strikes gas deal with the U.S. as it seeks to cut its reliance on Russia.
	Are they insane?
	I mean, that's...
	I don't think...
	First of all, I don't think we can replenish it.
	I think it's a great idea to pay three times as much.
	Yeah, but also to send...
	Stuff we might need down the road to send it over to the EU? We don't care about our Americans.
	We don't.
	Now, this all contributes to the price of gas.
	I think diesel is probably the biggest problem now.
	Did you also see a Houthi missile hit the Aramco oil depot in Jeddah?
	No, but they've been taking pot shots at that oil depot for some time.
	Yeah, I just wonder, you know, since they announced they were considering selling oil in the Rial, maybe this was a little message.
	That's how we typically do it.
	Yeah, you're not going to sell anything in Rial.
	Oh, no, a missile hit.
	Yeah, a Houthi missile.
	Yeah, yeah.
	So why didn't you just say Iranian?
	You can't hit the side of a barn.
	Why don't you just say Iranian missile and be truthful about it?
	No, maybe because it wasn't.
	I'd like to see what was on the side of that missile.
	I think it was a little message.
	And then we have the forthcoming food shortages, which I think we've been talking about even before the war on Ukraine in the context of food intelligence and how the beef processors want us to eat bugs and other soy-based meats because it's cheaper for them and they'll put exactly the right ingredients in that we need.
	And President Biden also warned of the food shortages.
	It's real.
	It's not a joke.
	And he said something else, which to me was the truth wants to come out.
	With regard to food shortages, yes, we did talk about food shortages.
	And it's going to be real.
	The price of these sanctions is not just imposed upon Russia.
	It's imposed upon an awful lot of countries as well, including European countries and our country as well.
	Now, wait a minute.
	The way he says that, it's not just imposed on Russia.
	I mean, is he saying we oppose that on everybody?
	You know, instead of saying a consequence of us, or maybe he should say we all have to stand strong, you know, we eat a sandwich less.
	But instead, it's like, you know, we impose it on everybody.
	That's what it sounded like to me, too.
	It didn't sound like it, that's what he said.
	And who's this we?
	And who's this we?
	Well, he's got a mouse in his pocket.
	The price of these sanctions is not just imposed upon Russia.
	It's imposed upon an awful lot of countries as well, including European countries and our country as well.
	Europe should declare war against us.
	Because the president just said, no, we did that to you.
	And because both Russia and Ukraine have been the breadbasket of Europe in terms of wheat, for example, just give one example.
	But we had a long discussion in the G7. With both the United States, which is the third largest producer of wheat in the world, as well as Canada, which is also a major, major producer.
	And we both talked about how wheat could increase and disseminate more rapidly food shortages.
	In addition to that...
	Okay.
	Now, did you hear what the President just said?
	We can increase food shortages.
	He says, we discussed in the G7 how we could disseminate food shortages.
	Yeah.
	I mean, at what point do we just not take this as bumbling Joe and just take it as the truth?
	Or at least it should be addressed by someone.
	Let's listen again.
	Nobody addresses any of this stuff that he says.
	If you started dissecting it, like they would with Trump, He says the damnedest crazy stuff and nobody says anything about it.
	The United States, which is the third largest producer of wheat in the world, as well as Canada, which is also a major, major producer.
	And we both talked about how wheat could increase and disseminate more rapidly food shortages.
	In addition to that, we talked about...
	Urging all the European countries and everyone else to end trade restrictions on sending limitations on sending food abroad.
	And so we are in the process of working out with our European friends what it would take to help alleviate the concerns relative to food shortages.
	We also talked about a significant major U.S. investment, among others, in terms of providing for food.
	The need for humanitarian assistance, including food, as we move forward.
	Just so I get this straight, to figure out how we disseminate food shortages, we're going to make sure we can send our food to the European Union, and we're going to make sure that the tariffs are lowered or trade restrictions are removed so we can send our food to the European Union.
	Yeah.
	I don't think I agree with that.
	I mean, food shortages are coming.
	They're coming to the United States, aren't they?
	Well, according to the latest round of food shortage, no.
	Really?
	You don't think they're coming?
	That's the way they're explaining it.
	Here's ABC America this morning.
	Maybe we'll glean something from this report.
	Now to another big concern for shoppers, food prices.
	Experts are warning that we're on the verge of a global food crisis.
	ABC's Andrew Fugee explains why and what can be done about it.
	This morning, the US and the world bracing for food shortages as the war in Ukraine rages on.
	President Biden, speaking to NATO leaders in Brussels Thursday, said because of sanctions on Russia, food shortages are coming.
	The price of these sanctions is not just imposed upon Russia.
	It's imposed upon an awful lot of countries as well, including European countries and our country as well.
	The U.S., Canada, and Europe are major wheat producers.
	But Ukraine and Russia produce about one-third of the world's supply.
	And less food means higher prices on top of already high inflation rates.
	Groceries are already about 8% more expensive than they were last year.
	And those expenses are not just hurting consumers, but also food banks like this one in Boston.
	We used to be able to buy chickens for 80 cents a pound, somewhere in there.
	Now it's like $1.50 a pound.
	And so that limits our ability to buy more food and distribute more food to the agencies.
	In Tennessee, the governor is pitching a plan to provide relief to shoppers by suspending the sales tax on groceries for one month.
	Let Tennesseans keep some of that hard-earned money and do so by suspending the grocery tax for a time.
	The U.S. is producing less wheat than it used to.
	About 44 million tons were harvested last season compared to 50 million three years ago.
	To help avert a potential worsening crisis, President Biden is urging European leaders to end trade limits on shipping food abroad.
	We are in the process of working out with our European friends what it would take to help alleviate the concerns relative to food shortages.
	As to why the U.S. is producing less wheat, factors include the drought and farmers switching to more profitable crops.
	Oh, I love that.
	Blame the farmers when we know from Texas Slim that the farmers are pressured into growing canola oil.
	That's all they're growing.
	That's the profitable stuff, but they're pressured into it by seed companies mainly.
	So, okay, this is interesting.
	The way it's being interpreted, we won't have food shortages, but it's going to be very expensive.
	And...
	A 99-cent taco at Taco Bell is $1.59.
	Yeah, and I think that if you send this message out...
	I even heard Glenn Beck, or I saw a Glenn Beck video.
	He's telling everybody, when you go to the supermarket...
	Am I doing good, Glenn Beck?
	When you go to the...
	No?
	No.
	He says, buy two of everything.
	Okay?
	Buy two of everything.
	So what happens when this message goes out and the prices are already jacked up through inflation and then everyone goes out and buys two of everything?
	I think you're tilting the supply and demand scales even further.
	It's like the toilet paper problem.
	And it will be insane.
	And I think it's purposeful.
	They don't give a shit if you could eat or not.
	No.
	What they want is collapse the system.
	What you're hearing is, oh, we're going to take away the tax.
	We're going to do this.
	You know, the gas tax in California, you'll get $800 back.
	And you know what comes in one month?
	All right.
	You know what comes in one month from now?
	We need stimmy checks.
	Well, there's enough food.
	People can't afford it.
	So now we need to print some money.
	I guarantee you within four weeks.
	And they won't have the digital dollar ready yet.
	But this is just a run to it.
	We've got to print some more.
	The collapse.
	The collapse.
	Does Horowitz think there's going to be a collapse?
	No, he doesn't, does he?
	Well, we'll see.
	No, that wasn't my question.
	These schemes never work out.
	It's like, you know, our ability to do regime change doesn't seem to be any good.
	We don't seem to be able to do anything right.
	We don't do a lot very well.
	We just leave things alone.
	They work out fine.
	But you start meddling this meddling.
	This is the Democrat technique of how to govern.
	Meddle.
	Meddle on this.
	Meddle in that.
	It's all a bunch of meddling.
	This whole Ukraine thing is meddling.
	What are we doing over there?
	Yeah.
	Well, helping the bankers.
	Meddling is what we're doing.
	Helping the bankers cover up their crimes.
	Okay, I'm going to do a tease.
	All right?
	This is a very professional moment here in the show.
	I'm going to do a tease with a mega cut.
	Not a super cut.
	Not a mini cut.
	Super cut.
	A mega cut.
	And the topic of the mega cut we'll discuss after we thank our executive and associate executive producers.
	What do you think?
	I think that's a good idea.
	This is a mega cut which now can be thoroughly discussed.
	I think I even said on the last show, something was going on with Hunter Biden and Burisma and the BioLabs.
	And I said, you know, because it all came out on show day, so I had no way to look at it.
	And I have.
	And so have other people.
	And Matt Taibbi put together a diet or someone working for Matt Taibbi.
	Yeah, he's got a guy who does these.
	I actually had this clip too, funny thing, but I pulled it.
	Why?
	Why?
	It was long.
	If you're going to play the whole thing, it's two minutes and 40 seconds, I think.
	Oh, no.
	The original is longer than that.
	Wow.
	It's good, though.
	I mean, the reason why...
	I'll tell you, the problem I have with a lot of this one in particular is that it really helps to see who these yay hoos are.
	I disagree because I... I listened to it again this morning, just listening, and I think there's enough...
	You know what?
	If the No Agenda Show, a podcast, can't play the audio in full...
	No one's ever going to...
	No, I think it should be played in full.
	But it is long.
	It is long.
	I completely agree it's long.
	But the topic...
	Only really works when you take into consideration the massive, massive propaganda around the election when this laptop came out.
	To suppress...
	The lying pundits.
	But not just pundits.
	The lying a-holes.
	Politicians, intelligence, everybody.
	So, sit back and relax, everybody.
	This is one for the archives.
	Incriminating evidence allegedly found on a laptop belonging to Biden.
	Some sort of Russian disinformation campaign.
	One eternity later.
	Biden emails finally authenticated according to the New York Times.
	It's rewind time.
	It's a lie.
	Altered or fake.
	Unverified emails.
	The story did not quite land due to the lack of verification.
	Listen.
	What can be verified?
	The laptop.
	Why do you send it?
	Well, because it can't be verified.
	I don't even want to report this.
	This is one of the most powerful families in Washington.
	Liz, I'm a journalist.
	Okay, I would love if you guys would start doing that verification.
	No, we're not going to do your work for you.
	It's a journalist's job.
	Not anymore.
	For all we know, these emails are made up.
	Not really stories, just pure distractions.
	No serious journalist should fall for it.
	It's a journalist's job to find out if this is verified.
	The bottom line is we cannot confirm the story.
	Experts say the emails cannot be authenticated.
	The mainstream media is not reporting on this story because we can't authenticate this material.
	The Hunter Biden laptop material is genuine.
	Genuine.
	Genuine.
	This is a classic example of the right-wing media machine.
	It just lacks credibility.
	The fact that it appeared in the New York Post.
	The only place low enough to put this orphan bastard story in print.
	Obvious disinformation.
	It is so obviously a Russian operation.
	So obviously disinformation.
	Obviously a Russian plot.
	Tell me why it's so obviously a Russian plot to you.
	This is this classic textbook, a Soviet Russian tradecrafted book.
	Right, exactly.
	And this is classic, very classic Russian disinformation tactic.
	Your classic disinformation campaign.
	We shouldn't look at it as anything other than a Russian disinformation operation.
	Operation.
	Known Kremlin disinformation.
	Russians would be my number one guess.
	Obviously Russia.
	Russian disinformation operation.
	Russian disinformation.
	Pushing Russian disinformation.
	It does bear the hallmarks of Russian disinformation.
	Stop being an unwitting idiot.
	Hunter Biden's laptop looks like it's tied to Vladimir Putin in Moscow.
	Is that laptop yours?
	I don't know.
	I truly...
	You don't know.
	The serious answer is that I truly do not know the answer to that.
	Did you leave a laptop with a repairman in Wilmington?
	Not that I remember.
	Not that you remember.
	No.
	No.
	I truly don't know.
	Are you missing a laptop?
	Not that I know of.
	What?
	This whole operation looks right out of the Kremlin playbook.
	The playbook of Russian disinformation.
	Russian disinformation put into the haystack.
	Russian disinfo.
	Sounds like bullshit.
	I mean, who takes a laptop with their most personal information, drops it off, and never comes back for it?
	Read the book and you'll realize that I wasn't keeping tabs on possessions very well for about a four-year period of time.
	The Russian disinformation campaign.
	Disinformation from the Russians.
	Putin is trying very hard to spread disinformation about Joe Biden.
	The Biden campaign says this is Russian disinformation.
	There's overwhelming evidence that the Russians are in games.
	Russians are in games.
	It's a Russian plan.
	Russian disinformation.
	Nobody believes it except of his and his good friend, Rudy Giuliani.
	So it could have been yours.
	Of course, certainly.
	Oh, that's hot.
	That's hot.
	History will expose you all as fools and useful idiots for the Russians.
	The idiocy.
	The sheer idiocy.
	50 former intelligence officials signed on to a letter yesterday saying that the New York Post story about Hunter Biden's emails has all of the classic earmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign.
	Russia Giuliani.
	Don't trust anything that he's telling you.
	This is Russian disinformation.
	Russian disinformation campaign.
	Russian disinformation.
	Russian disinformation campaign.
	Russian disinformation meant to harm our democracy.
	Disinformation by the Russians.
	The fruits of a foreign intelligence operation.
	Part of that bigger Russian disinformation effort.
	A Russian intelligence operation.
	Connected to an ongoing Russian disinformation effort.
	Linked to a foreign intelligence operation.
	Connected to an ongoing Russian disinformation effort.
	Tied to an ongoing Russian disinformation effort.
	Connected to a Russian disinformation campaign.
	Linked to a foreign intelligence operation.
	Likely coming from Russian intelligence.
	To people familiar with the matter told.
	NBC News.
	We now know that Russian disinformation or foreign disinformation or even campaign disinformation, period, is as dangerous to our democracy as anything exposed in these emails.
	Nah, I mean, it really drives the point home of what's going on with your news media.
	Yeah, they're the disinformation campaign.
	Exactly.
	Kudos to that guy.
	Anyway, there you go.
	That's why we exist.
	And for that reason, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the seas in the Bruce Force.
	Ladies and gentlemen, Mr.
	John C. Devorah.
	And in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	Also in the morning to all ships at sea and boots on the ground and all the feet in the air and the subs and the dames and the knights out there.
	In the morning to our trolls in the troll room.
	Are trolls in the troll room at noagendastream.com, but the troll room can be found at trollroom.io.
	Hey, trolls!
	How you doing there?
	They always show up and hang out for the live shows, which you can listen to while trolling, and you can also hear the live stream.
	And no, Mark M., you can't speed up the...
	I just kicked this guy off.
	He says, can I speed up the live stream?
	Yeah, that's not the point, bro.
	You need to listen to the podcast to hit your two-time speed.
	Can I speed up the light?
	That's very funny.
	Come on.
	It's very humorous.
	It's humorous because it's stupid.
	Yeah, it's all right.
	He's back.
	It was just a little kick.
	It wasn't a band.
	It wasn't a kick band.
	It was just a little kick.
	Well, next time, kick band him.
	Let's count our trolls.
	Let's see how many we have in the troll room today.
	Hands up, trolls.
	All right, let's see.
	Here we go.
	They're running the scurrying around.
	It is a Sunday, so we have 2695.
	2,695 trolls standing by.
	All hanging out.
	All hanging out.
	And you can join them at trollroom.io.
	Or follow John and Adam on NoAgendaSocial.com where the conversation lives without the algos.
	You may have seen Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey on Twitter going back and forth, jabbing each other about algos and how they should work.
	Elon Musk wants them open source.
	Jack Dorsey feels you should be able to choose which algo.
	And we just have none.
	Hello?
	That's the best way.
	Because the flame wars drop right off.
	You forget about it.
	It's not brought back up to trigger you again.
	Now, you can't join NoAgendaSocial.com anymore, but...
	You can follow us, Adam at NoAgendaSocial.com or John C. Dvorak at NoAgendaSocial.com from any Mastodon account.
	You just search for that.
	You'll find lots of places.
	You can sign up for free.
	And then you just type in that name and you'll be able to find us and you'll be able to follow us.
	You've been pretty active on the socials.
	I go there.
	Yeah, I go there.
	Let's see.
	Now to thank the artist for episode 1436.
	That's right.
	The 1436th episode of No Agenda was titled Frog of War.
	And the artwork brought to us by Nick the Rat, who has not had a win in a long time, but completely got in our good graces with his straight-up 1970s No Agenda logo.
	I mean, we just liked it.
	I'd actually call it 1968, personally, but we're talking about the 70s, and it carried through.
	Well, why 1968?
	That's about the time that this particular look was really in vogue.
	Oh.
	Hmm.
	But wasn't it in vogue for quite a while, for several years?
	Yeah, no, it stayed in vogue.
	It stayed in vogue for a long time.
	I'd like to mention...
	I think if you look at the date of the movie called The Trip, which I think had a bunch of different people in it that probably should have known better, I think that date would be when this peaked.
	1976.
	The trip was from 1976?
	That's what I just saw, yeah.
	Okay, well then that's when that look peaked.
	So you're right.
	It was probably more in the 70s than the 60s, but it seems to originate in the late 60s.
	We've been looking at the 70s and a replay of the cycle, and a lot of things fit into it, and we can talk more about it later.
	But I did want to point out that not only is Paris saying the hot new fashion for this year, Platform shoes.
	And in Portugal, in Portugal, boots on the ground report from one of our producers, bell-bottoms are back.
	They're coming.
	Bell-bottoms are coming.
	So let's see.
	I'm starting to itch about the 70s parallels.
	Oh yeah, none of it's good.
	None of it's good.
	None of it's good.
	Well, I mean, the design stuff and the weirdness with the movies, all kinds of crazy movies came out in the 70s that were very experimental stuff.
	It would never get produced today.
	No.
	Weren't the blaxploitation movies also kind of in the 70s?
	And there was one...
	Check it.
	It says you got the movie thing over.
	See, what was the year of the movie Candy?
	Candy.
	Do I know this movie?
	Oh yeah, you should know this movie.
	It's forgettable, but if you saw it again, and I do have a copy of it, I watched it probably a month ago, I start to realize that some of these movies from the 70s are worth a look.
	Well, this was 1968.
	Yeah, okay.
	That was the beginning of it.
	Like this art here.
	That's what a lot of it started.
	Yeah, I'm looking at the trailer with the sound off.
	Trippy, man.
	Very groovy.
	Candy is about a...
	A hot blonde that pretty much...
	I think it's Terry Southern's story.
	An innocent high schooler encounters numerous colorful characters and humorous sexual situations while attempting to find meaning in life.
	She is screwing everyone.
	But she's not really a high schooler.
	She's an alien.
	Oh no!
	Oh, this needs to be seen then.
	She's an alien dropped, just dropped on Earth from outer space for no apparent reason.
	Hold on a second.
	And then she goes to high school and screws everybody.
	Hold on a second.
	Hold on a second.
	This won't stand.
	Let's listen to this trailer for a moment.
	Let me see what's going on.
	I believe in those who are free enough to give.
	Ah, yes.
	To give.
	But what?
	To give myself.
	But to what?
	To whatever needs me.
	What in heaven's name are you talking about?
	Oh, that's Gomez Adams.
	I don't know what that means.
	Indecency.
	Oh, this looks creepy, John.
	Great.
	I think Richard Burton's in this movie.
	Huh.
	Well, so was Gomez Adams from the Adams family?
	I just saw him.
	Oh, yeah, Richard Burton.
	Holy crap.
	No, this movie's loaded with stars.
	Everybody wanted to be in this movie.
	And it is the screwiest movie.
	And it's a lot of gurus of the era and all these different kinds of people.
	And everything, all anyone wants to do is screw this girl, this blonde.
	That's all they want.
	So it's really...
	It's really about the beginnings of Hollywood.
	It's about the hypocrisy of the scene.
	Oh.
	There's some good information.
	The more you know in the morning.
	Candy.
	Candy, the movie.
	It may even be on YouTube.
	These things usually show up on YouTube.
	Maybe it might be.
	Looking at the rest of the art that was not from Nick the Rat, Let me see.
	There was a lot of...
	Well, we did discuss Che Zelensky, which I think you used on the newsletter, which was pretty good.
	I used one that we didn't get to look at.
	It was the one that came in late.
	Oh.
	It's the last one.
	By Che Zelensky?
	Yeah.
	Che Zelensky, by the way, is the...
	This is NATO Zelensky, the one I picked.
	Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	It is also an image from that same era that we're talking about.
	Yes, it is.
	Oh, wow.
	Yeah.
	Oh, wow.
	I said, oh, wow.
	Oh, wow.
	I didn't catch it.
	I said an oh, wow.
	I'm losing it.
	You know, the problem I'm having with the oh, wow, is that I'm hearing it so much on mainstream media.
	Newscasters on our local.
	Oh, wow.
	Oh, wow.
	Murder in Oakland today.
	Oh, wow.
	I started that.
	Very proud.
	Let's see.
	Now, we didn't understand Tonta Neal's The Great Recycle, which had a really groovy 70s type vibe, had our frog there for the frog of war, but then a woman, and I still don't know who it was with her.
	With her kind of 70s.
	The crying woman?
	Yeah, the 70s flip-up hairdo.
	I understood everything, so I couldn't recognize her.
	I thought it was the great...
	Zelensky?
	No.
	The great Zelensky, that's a good one, too.
	Fabulous...
	Fabulous Polly.
	Amazing Polly.
	Oh, amazing Polly?
	Well, it didn't work for me.
	It looks kind of like her.
	It didn't work for me.
	Was there anything else that we thought was good?
	No, we didn't think anything was good.
	That's the problem.
	Yeah.
	I mean, I loved all the 70s stuff.
	That was just cool and far out.
	I'm going to get stuck in this now.
	Anyway, we...
	I should mention the Rich Harris Mr.
	Ukraine Rubbleizer I like, but you thought it was just too horrible looking.
	Hold on a second.
	Where was the Rubbleizer?
	The evil looking face.
	Oh, was that near the top somewhere?
	No, it's down near the bottom almost.
	It's two rows from the bottom.
	Oh, yeah.
	Let me take a look at it.
	Well, we felt it was very negative.
	No, you felt it was negative.
	I did feel it was negative.
	I'm not sure.
	Which is a valid veto.
	I'm not sure why.
	I'm not sure why I felt that.
	You just thought it was creepy.
	But it is so.
	Now, I was going to say something really cute about Podcasting 2.0, and I had a whole thing, but I forget what I was going to say.
	Wow.
	It made total sense in context of what we're doing.
	But I'll just say this.
	Stop listening to podcasts on legacy apps.
	Get a modern app with modern features, uncancellable, censorship-resistant, let's put it that way, newpodcastapps.com.
	You need to do that.
	Do it for the show, just in case.
	And now let's thank our executive and associate executive producers for episode 1437.
	We kick it off with Captain Luke Knight of the Barbary Coast.
	And he drops 549.48 all the way from San Francisco, California.
	We appreciate that.
	And here's his note.
	Along, of course, with his executive producer credits.
	My company's bonus payment is your gain.
	Oh, we like this.
	How come bankers don't do that?
	I'm getting the first executive producer credit and upgrading myself from Knight of the Barbary Coast to Baronet of the Same.
	No jingles, but I do request a double karma.
	A double karma.
	That's kind of...
	Double karmas are a little risky.
	Double karmas are just karma that you say is double.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, then it's no risk.
	R2-D2 moving karma for my escape from San Francisco this summer.
	Hey, can you grab John on the way?
	And then F cancer karma for my...
	You want to stay?
	It's more fun here.
	That's true.
	Without you there, we won't have boots on the ground when it goes down.
	I also like an F-cancer karma for my friend Stephanie, who needs to hold stage 4 cancer at bay long enough to make it through one more good Christmas with her family.
	Thank you for your courage, Captain Luke.
	We're not going to make it one.
	We'll make this the next one.
	Yeah, we'll make it F-cancer.
	Yeah, but this will be the next Christmas she's going through.
	Can I make that?
	You've got...
	Karma.
	Sir Carey's the Viscount of Greater Boston in Dracut.
	Dracut or Dracut?
	33333.
	That's some Massachusetts nuts, by the way.
	Requesting karma and F cancer in memory of my grandfather who passed away earlier this week.
	He once famously said, nobody survives three cancers.
	Only to be taken out by his fourth.
	Oh, man.
	Okay, we're laughing, but it's...
	I don't know.
	It's a sick laugh.
	It is.
	I didn't mean that.
	It's a laugh of love.
	It is.
	R.I.P. John Michael...
	Oh, I should have looked this one up.
	Watkowski.
	Sir Kerry's Viscount of Greater Boston.
	All right, man.
	Of course we got that for you.
	Ah!
	You've got karma.
	Next, with 333 in Greenwood, Indiana, Mark Boucherl.
	Boucherl?
	Boucherl?
	Greetings from the March Crossroads of America meetup.
	Oh, yes, they had a big meetup there.
	This month's donation...
	Yes.
	This month's donation raffle drawing winner was Annette Miller with an executive producer donation of $3.33.
	Please apply a mass dedouching to her and all the meetup donors.
	You've been dedouched.
	Now this is interesting.
	So they do a raffle.
	I guess everyone puts money into the pot and then they determine who's going to get the executive producership.
	I like that idea.
	Oh, that's a great idea.
	That's cool.
	Yeah.
	Also need a little gurier, F cancer, and a goat scream karma.
	The executive producer donation is on behalf of Annette Miller.
	Okay, hold on.
	That is a switcheroo.
	Do you have to do properly?
	Annette Miller.
	Okay.
	I love how this works.
	That's a good idea, people.
	You know, you had a better idea I just came up with.
	Okay.
	Everybody give executive producer amounts.
	Yeah, that's a great idea, John.
	Okay.
	Mass-deducing, Little Gourier, F-Cancer, and Goat Scream Karma.
	The executive produced the donation on behalf of Annette Miller.
	The drawing winner from the March 20 Crossroads of America meetup.
	Thank you for your courage.
	Well, yes, of course.
	And we have that as well.
	Oh.
	Oh.
	Oh, that's interesting.
	Sorry, I got a fail there.
	Wow.
	Yay!
	Fucking death!
	You've got karma.
	You've got karma.
	Brian Skelton.
	Oh, let me read this one.
	He's really worried about you reading it.
	Oh, why?
	I know, Brian.
	Because the last time he donated, he says, John read the quiet part out loud.
	Oh.
	Well, it was on the spreadsheet.
	That's why.
	I know.
	Why just read what's put in front of me like an idiot?
	No, hey, at the end of the day, I said it, we're just news models ourselves.
	Brian Skelton is from Cedar Park, Texas, 333.
	In the morning, I miss my birthday donation on March 4th, so I'm here to settle up, and due to an unanticipated pimping of me on Curry and the Keeper, I have become friends with Dame Jennifer, or as John says, Jane Denifer.
	She runs Animated No Agenda, and if you've never watched it, you need to get your life together and check it out!
	I want to thank Adam and John for their courage and want you to know, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, that Matt Sanford is a bitch-ass douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	Now, I should have had this all set up.
	Can you read these jingles off to me that he has there?
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	I was doing something else.
	No, I know.
	I know.
	My mistake.
	He wants Biden.
	No, first he wants Kamala, do not come.
	Followed by Trump, I'm gonna come.
	By the way, I will say this, since Brian said nothing good to say about me.
	Brian has a dirty mind.
	Well, there's more to the story, which I'll tell you after you give me this.
	Okay, well, here we go.
	Kamala, do not come.
	Trump, I'm gonna come.
	Biden, whole load.
	I mean, come on.
	And look at that, all that juice, which is the kicker.
	Uh-huh.
	Uh-huh.
	Yeah.
	Can you see that juice, I think?
	All right.
	So here's the back story.
	Here's the back story.
	Dame Jennifer is looking for a new boyfriend.
	Now, Dame Jennifer is a fantastic woman.
	She's smart.
	She's beautiful.
	She's funny.
	That's not a boyfriend.
	No, no.
	New boyfriend is exit.
	He was no good.
	We had to get rid of him.
	Even though he's a supporter of the show.
	As long as he keeps supporting the show, he's good to go for me.
	So that didn't work out.
	And we're going to...
	Where is she?
	She's from South Carolina.
	We're going to South Carolina on the 19th for the meetup.
	And she's like, hey, like all single women are always like, Adam, have you found me my new husband yet?
	And I say, no, but I do know this Brian guy, because he had said that he was looking for some love, and so I connected them on Twitter, and right away they're DMing, and then we get this.
	Do not come.
	I'm going to come.
	I'm going to give it a whole load today.
	Oh my gosh!
	Can you see that juice?
	I'm just saying.
	You've got karma.
	We have a love connection.
	If you want to call it that.
	He's not being very subtle, I'll tell you that.
	No, no, no.
	I think sending her some flowers might be a better idea.
	I mean, we understand what you're saying.
	Chocolates?
	Pretty good thought there, you know.
	A cart?
	Sir Dwight the Knight, meanwhile, comes in from Burlington, Ontario, Canada.
	He is the first associate executive producer.
	By the way, our lists have been very low numbers ever since we started talking about Ukraine by deconstructing this situation.
	Well, of course, because we're carrying water for Putin, except Putin doesn't send checks.
	Yeah, Putin sends nothing.
	28369 from Burlington, Ontario, Canada.
	Birthday shout-out.
	For my own birthday Monday, could I get a Fear is Freedom for us all, all us Canadians up here?
	Also some karma.
	Oh, shout out for the Fun Fact Friday podcast, which is nearing its 100th episode.
	Send in your fun facts to them.
	Fear is freedom.
	Subjugation is liberation.
	Contradiction is truth.
	Those are the facts of this world.
	And you will all surrender to them.
	Use pigs in human clothing.
	You've got karma.
	music No, I'm not sure if he sent that in in dollars or Canadian dollars, but we're going to bump him up just in case.
	Oh, that's a good point.
	Yeah, we'll bump him up just in case.
	Well, let me just mark it.
	Let me just mark it.
	Mark it.
	Mark it.
	I'll read Carl Doug Elkins in San Antonio.
	It's right up the street from you.
	You can drive down there.
	It's like 45 miles.
	223.
	Greetings and salutations from San Antonio.
	It has been one and a half years since my last donation.
	Jeez.
	And I felt it was time to contribute for all the shows that have helped me keep sane.
	Please shout out to my store, Transfer Station Tattoos and Firearms.
	Now that's like, you need to sell some beef with that and you're done.
	Yeah.
	I thought so too.
	In San Antonio.
	We opened just five weeks before the lockdowns and made it through unlike many other businesses.
	Wow.
	Tattoos and firearms for sure.
	It's kind of a good market to be in anytime there's a crisis.
	Especially in San Antonio.
	We could use some job karma to keep us going.
	Our website if anyone is interested in a tattoo or a gun is www.transferstationtx.com In other news, my friends and fellow NA producers Kelly and Matthews have a new podcast, Liberty Tree.
	It's a must-listen for anyone who's interested in drunken, libertarian-esque current events comedy.
	If you're interested in that, this podcast is for you.
	Well, I think except for the drunken events part, that's kind of what we are.
	Current events and comedy.
	We've always been listed under comedy.
	Well, we should be.
	We are.
	We've always listed our categories as comedy.
	I don't think doing a podcast drunk is a good thought.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Mythos.
	Karma.
	We go to Sir Jonathan of the Double-Bladed Paddle.
	Recent knighting, I believe.
	222.22 from St.
	Louis, Missouri.
	This row of ducks is long overdue.
	I would like to request that I be de-douched.
	You've been de-douched.
	I guess he forgot to ask the last time.
	And he also requests Race Karma for the MR340, a non-stop kayak race across the state of Missouri.
	Wow.
	What?
	Are you adept in Mississippi?
	I need to know more about this.
	And can we get some branding on your kayak?
	Not on the kayak.
	We need a No Agenda sticker.
	A sticker?
	No, he needs like a big 33 ITM NoAgendaShow.com on the back of his racing.
	NoAgendaShow.com?
	Yeah, I'm just saying.
	That would be good.
	A kayak is not a lot of room, not a lot of real estate for advertising.
	Well, on his back.
	Oh, on his back.
	Yeah, or the helmet.
	We can do something on the helmet.
	Oh, yeah.
	The helmet should say ITM. He says 73.
	And his number 33 would be the boat 33.
	73 is from K-E-O-I-H-T, Sir Jonathan of the Double-Bladed Battle.
	Race karma.
	You've got karma.
	And we have Colin Anufrian, Old Tappan, New Jersey, 222.22.
	And he like jingles.
	Oh, those Russians.
	Don't look over here.
	I've got information.
	Laptop of terror.
	None of those jingles except for I've got information do I recall.
	We have all of them.
	Oh, don't look over here.
	We haven't played that for a while.
	John and Adam, this donation marks my arrival to knighthood.
	I henceforth like to be known as surlocybin.
	Hey, we have one of those.
	Yes, this guy.
	No, no, no.
	We have...
	There's another surlocybin.
	It's fine, because you can both be called surlocybin.
	You can both have the same night.
	You can have the same night.
	I don't know of another surlocybin.
	Well, anyway, surlocybin, the psychoactive chemical psilocybin, and please supply some of any...
	Supply some for any...
	Oh, he wants it at the roundtable.
	Yes.
	For any willing roundtable guests.
	I started my listening journey in 2018 after taking psilocybin and going nuts and my...
	Oh, no, I'm sorry.
	I wrote the wrong note here.
	In 2018, after hearing John on Grimerica.
	Grimerica donation.
	It's also my birthday on 318, my 25th, go around the ball in this meat suit.
	So true to form.
	I'm getting this note to you a week late.
	Well done.
	I'd like to give a big shout out to my birthday person, Nelly, out in Arizona.
	No, birthing person.
	Birthing person.
	Oh, what did I say?
	You said birthday person.
	Yeah, birthday.
	Well, it is.
	No, it's his mom.
	Birthing person is what he wrote.
	No, you're missing the point.
	Big shout out to my birthing person, Nelly.
	That's to his mom.
	Yeah, that's what I meant.
	That would also recount for me.
	She was there for the birthday.
	Or maybe it's his wife.
	I don't know.
	Also a producer.
	In fact, not a douchebag.
	She made up a handsome portion of this donation as a birthday gift at my request because, well, you've earned it.
	A row of ducks since I'm the first of her five...
	Oh, she's the mom of her five human resources.
	And he's the oldest.
	Love is lit.
	Let's end this shit.
	Health karma for everyone and jobs karma for myself.
	Adios, mofos and such.
	Oh, those lessons.
	Don't look I'm amazed.
	Anonymous checks in from Los Alamos, New Mexico.
	I wonder what Anonymous does there.
	This is my first donation.
	Keep me anonymous, please, and please dedouche me.
	You've been dedouched.
	Me wife and I have been trying to buy a house for about six months now.
	We've yet to have an offer accepted in this crazy market.
	I realized recently that I've made a terrible mistake with their offers.
	I never donated to no agenda or requested house buying karma.
	We know it does seem to work.
	We just put an offer in on another home and I refuse to make the same mistake again.
	Please give me all of the house-buying karma you can muster.
	That requires a visit from the goat.
	You've got...
	Karma.
	Karma.
	That should work.
	Danny Butch in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, 208.33.
	And he wants the Eat Kale, Trudeau's mom.
	Trudeau's mom?
	I don't know what that is.
	Maybe she's the one that says Eat Kale.
	Screw your freedom.
	No, Eat Kale.
	I think what he's got is the name of the clip and who did it.
	So he thinks Eat Kale is from Trudeau's mom.
	Screw Your Freedom from Arnold and Right, Right, Right, which is a Chris Hayes something, I guess.
	Yeah, which I also...
	I mean, I think we might have played it, but...
	It's kind of old, so respect as much we can replace it with respect pretty much.
	You can replace it.
	In other words, these are not hard requests.
	Oh, okay.
	Hello, gents.
	Hello, gents.
	Great deconstruction as always, and this treasure of $208.33 represents half of the remaining amount till I hit knighthood.
	I will be following up with a second donation right before my 50th birthday on April 2nd to officially obtain knighthood status.
	Shout out to Hugh and Isabel who went out and hit me in the mouth.
	Love is lit.
	Usa.
	What is that?
	Usa?
	I don't know.
	I like it.
	Danny Butch.
	Yes, I have it.
	Danny Butch.
	The Butch.
	Hold on.
	I have a couple of jingles to fill it up for him.
	And he needed a karma as well?
	He's getting one.
	So, have more kale.
	Have more kale.
	Have more kale.
	You will obey.
	I forgot this one.
	Have more kale.
	Have more kale.
	You will obey.
	Screw your freedom.
	Right.
	You've got karma.
	I got a Hummer in there.
	Associate Executive Producership for Jamie Buell from Vista, California.
	$200.50.
	Jamie requests some Atlas Shrugged.
	That's a classic.
	Shut up, slave.
	Screw your freedom.
	I notice kind of a thing here.
	With Screw Your Freedom coming back again.
	On R2D2 Karma, this donation of $200.50 is a switcheroo for my smoking hot hubby John Buell's 50th birthday.
	Okay, hold on.
	Making the switcheroo for you.
	Okay, done.
	That'll be this Monday, March 28th.
	Happy birthday, honey.
	Thank you for being the freedom fighter, liberty lover, and Spartan racer that you are.
	It takes so much effort for you to remain a sane small business owner in California.
	I'm so grateful for all the hard work you do.
	So that I can homeschool our two human resources.
	Between you and no agenda, you've kept my amygdala small.
	May this year be the year you work yourself out of a daily job.
	Happy 50th, and I can't wait to spend another 50 with you.
	Mwah.
	Aww.
	That's a mwah.
	I think mwah.
	Uh, so the Atlas Shrug, Screw Your Freedom, Shut Up Slave, and, uh, what was the last one?
	R2-D2 Karma.
	Okay.
	I think we can do that.
	Atlas Shrug!
	By Ayn Rand.
	Shut up, slave!
	Screw your freedom.
	You've got...
	Karma.
	And there we have Peter McCaffrey.
	Unless you have a note, I'll read Dame Nancy's note.
	But Peter McCaffrey came in with $200 from Fort Collins, Colorado.
	And we thank him for that.
	Dame Nancy of The Confused in San Bruno, California finishes it off with $200 and says, ITM, thank you for your deconstruction of the war propaganda.
	Mm-hmm.
	I'd love some...
	Well, thank you for thanking us.
	I'd love some karma for my brother Ted.
	He's setting up shelters in Romania, just shy of the Ukraine border.
	Love and light, Dame Nancy of the Confused.
	Then we have a couple of stragglers.
	These are notes that did not come in last time.
	We start with Michael Gaff.
	He donated for episode 1436 and received, I believe, an executive producership.
	In the morning, boys, greetings from Western North Carolina.
	Please dedouche me and add me to the birthday list.
	You've been de-douched.
	He says June 7th, 1969.
	I'm just going to explain how the birthday list works.
	There's actually no list.
	There's no calendar.
	You send it to us on the show day that proceeds when you want it mentioned.
	You think there's a list?
	You think there's a list?
	Jingles, new information has come to light.
	There it is again.
	Obama, you might die.
	JCD, it's a scam.
	And wow.
	Back in March of 2020, I see Adam Curry is on the most recent installment of the JRE show.
	I think to myself, is that the same Adam Curry from Headbangers Ball that I used to watch in my college days at UC Santa Barbara?
	Why, yes it is.
	And his hair is still magnificent looking.
	Well, that was episode 1436 of the Joe Rogan Experience.
	And today, this was the last show.
	This is episode 1436 of the No Agenda Show, so I knew it was time to donate.
	I faithfully listened to all 215 episodes since that moment, hence my donation amount.
	Oh, it's Associate Exec.
	John, my smoking hot wife Nikki is definitely a member of the JCD Ladies Fan Club, and she just loves your cute, raspy voice.
	Would you like to say something to Nikki?
	Hey Nikki, how you doing?
	Oh, man.
	I bet you were such a player back in the day.
	So, what are you doing later?
	You were a player, weren't you?
	You were a player.
	Yeah, me.
	Well, I remember the motorcycle story.
	I was kicking ass when I was in high school.
	Yeah?
	No.
	Did you have a cool car?
	College, maybe.
	Did you have a cool car?
	Oh, what?
	You were kicking ass in college?
	And taking names?
	I have to say that No Agenda is not only the best podcast in the universe, it's the best show on any platform, period.
	Not a joke.
	Keep up the fantastic work and rock on, fellas.
	You guys rule.
	Cheers, Michael Gaff.
	I've got information, man.
	New shit has come to light.
	You might die.
	It's a scam.
	Wow, okay.
	You want to read this other one?
	Do you have the Charles Fonda Sonda?
	Oh, I don't have it in front of me.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, I'll read it.
	Now, Charles, he was our...
	Let me see.
	PayPal screwed me over.
	He says this was from 1434.
	So here's a note to accompany my donation.
	My donation of 16261 puts me...
	62 cents over the $1,000 mark accounting below.
	I like how that math worked out.
	Anywho, I just want to extend my best wishes for you and Adam, wishing you never find an exit strategy.
	The conspiracy therapy has been a huge boon in my life these past few years.
	It is appreciated.
	I'm hoping to be dubbed Sir Salmon Spawn.
	Is he on the list?
	I believe so.
	I'm going to look.
	Yeah, well, I can look right here.
	It's right above.
	Yes, he is on the list.
	Hoping for train wreck and tacos at the round table.
	That's a new one.
	What is train wreck?
	Is that some kind of beer again that I don't know about?
	I think it sounds just like one of those Oregon beers or some beer for some small brewer.
	Some brewery.
	They like the name, cute names for their beer.
	Some brewery that has dudes with man buns.
	They all have man buns, yeah.
	And they're all arrogant about how good their beer is.
	Oh yeah, it's cloudy.
	How come this IPA is so cloudy?
	Yeah, well, it's cloudy because we want it that way.
	We want it to be cloudy.
	In fact, we're going to rename it Cloudy IPA because we just need to get the protein cloud out of it because we really don't know what we're doing here at this brewery.
	Then we have a final missing note from Mike S. Adam and John.
	In the morning, I was waiting for another executive producer credit, but I felt bad.
	John kept saying the donations have been light, so here's $100 to get me over the hump into knighthood.
	And I would like to be known as Sir Tenly Stoned.
	Since I always bring my own stash to the party, I'll just have some of that mutton and meat at the round table.
	Well, he's not on the list.
	He's not on the list.
	Hmm.
	Okay.
	Well, alright.
	We'll put him in just in case.
	I don't remember knighting him before.
	Mike S. I don't remember.
	Well, I usually...
	No, I don't remember either.
	I'd like to be known as Sir Tenly Stone since I was bringing my own stature.
	Please, no jingles, please throw some F cancer out there.
	Memory of my grandma, Betty, for anyone who needs it now.
	Cheers, Sir Tenly Stone.
	Get out!
	You've got karma.
	There's gotta be a pun in there with that name, and I can't figure out what it is.
	Tenly Stone?
	Oh, no, I got it.
	No, I got it.
	What?
	Certainly Stoned.
	Oh, man.
	And we're reading it like it's almost as bad as I say.
	Yeah, we're like two doofus.
	Bend over, Mike Hunt.
	Bend over, okay.
	Bend over in the bar, Mr.
	Bend over.
	Wow, we're lame.
	Hello, boomer.
	Certainly stone.
	Hey, you know, we're reading this shit cold, people.
	That's how it goes.
	Thank you very much to our executive producers, associate executive producers, and you comedians out there making us look like fools.
	Thank you.
	These are real credits.
	You can use them anywhere that credits are recognized.
	Try IMDB. We would just look at it IMDB. You will see that people have no agenda producer credits in there as well.
	If you want to learn how to do it, go to...
	And thank you again for being the producers of episode 1437.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	All right.
	Now, have you followed any of the Hunter Biden laptop new revelations?
	New, new, new, new revelations.
	It never ends.
	Mm-hmm.
	I have no Hunter Biden laptop or any sort of clip.
	I have this thing called LNG Update.
	Well, wait a minute.
	We teased the Hunter Biden laptop.
	I ask you if you have anything about it and you want to talk about something else or is it Hunter related?
	I'm wondering what it is.
	It might be Hunter related.
	Well, then let's check it out.
	The White House says it'll work with the European Union to reduce Europe's reliance on Russian fossil fuels.
	Oh, never mind.
	It's about the LNG gas.
	Never mind.
	Skip it.
	All right.
	So, the Hunter Biden laptop, there's a new discovery.
	And this feels, I'll just say right up front, it feels to me like everything was set up perfectly to take down Biden.
	And it's going to be done...
	We're sticking...
	We're both of us are sticking with the theory, which we don't normally do, but we're sticking with the theory that they're out to get Biden.
	Right.
	And...
	Whoever they are.
	A couple weeks ago, and my first response was, ah, it's bullcrap.
	We started hearing about the biolabs.
	And all of a sudden, biolabs, biolabs, biolabs.
	I'm sure my initial response is, this is bullcrap.
	Who knows what's going on?
	Yeah, you didn't like that.
	I brought it up because I had some maps and I got the word from a guy, a Ukrainian buddy of my son.
	And not Ukrainian, but he's American, but he's lived there for a while.
	And then you poo-pooed it right off the bat.
	Because typically, when that's being pushed with maps...
	It's disinformation.
	I believe in this case, it was purposely exposed, and not just because some people had a deeper look at the Hunter Biden laptop And it turns out that in his trash folder or somewhere else where the trash was not expunged, there's another like 180,000 emails and documents or some crazy, crazy...
	Hello, people.
	Learn how to scrub your discs.
	I'm crazy.
	It's called a scrub function.
	They're out there.
	Some crazy, crazy thing.
	And in these documents...
	It's very clear that Burisma, that's the gas company that was paying Hunter Biden, that there was a connection between the Seneca Rosemont, I think that's how you call it, partners, which is, again, Hunter Biden and John Kerry's stepson, the Heinz kid, and how they were...
	Basically, setting up sales between the Department of Defense through them to invest in, and I'm paraphrasing here, and to manage these bio labs.
	And it went much further.
	And I have all these documents in the show notes where you literally see their strategy for this company, which they co-invested in, which is Metabiota.
	Metabiota.
	And this is insane when you see what they were doing.
	They were selling surveillance and analysis of viruses and other pathogens.
	And, I mean, literally saying, hey, you know, you need us to track because when something pops out, you know, you need our risk management.
	We have all the information on Zika, SARS, Ebola, which also seemed to be stuff that was in the labs that they were managing.
	And the documents, it's everywhere now.
	It's everywhere.
	But there's a little extra...
	Well, there's a couple of things to this.
	So, first of all, the laptop, we went through that before the break.
	That completely was not true.
	It was bullshit.
	Russian disinformation.
	Russian playbook.
	And then, the New York Times, of all publications, validates the laptop.
	I believe this to be 100% purposeful for a reason.
	The New York Times will always protect a Democratic president and the Democratic Party.
	And they didn't.
	So, that's one.
	Then we get the question...
	Well, let's balance that a little bit.
	Okay.
	First of all, when the New York Times came out, you're the one, not me, that said it was kind of like a lukewarm validation.
	I agree.
	And as Matt Taibbi pointed out in his column, it was on paragraph 26.
	It was buried in the story.
	Yes, but they still did it.
	Yeah, they still did it.
	And you have to take into account the...
	Bogative question and answer with, was it Lindsey Graham, about to Victoria Nuland?
	Are there any bio labs?
	No, that was, what's his name in Florida?
	Oh, Rubio.
	Rubio.
	Another warmonger, Rubio.
	Completely rehearsed.
	Purposeful.
	She could have said a lot of things, but no, the question, she knew it was coming, she knew exactly what to say.
	And now we're learning that there's almost like a subplot going on in Spookland.
	And with that I mean there's a lot of intelligence-connected people in alternative media.
	Let's just say Steve Bannon is a great example.
	Steve Bannon clearly has connections to defense intelligence and Then you have all these weird people hanging around.
	And I would put Pechenik in that.
	You know what I mean?
	All these people who have maybe some connection to intelligence.
	Quizlings, yes.
	Some of them have podcasts.
	All of this shit is on Rumble, etc.
	Yeah, I agree.
	And one guy...
	And they're all spooky.
	You used to look at them.
	I don't know if you've ever heard of Jack Maxey.
	He used to be on War Room with Bannon.
	Jack Maxey, another naval guy.
	You look at his head.
	I think I've seen him once or twice.
	You just look at his head.
	You're like, intelligence, spook, whatever.
	But you see, it looks like...
	We have people who are either informants or helping out or take whispers or whatever it is, or maybe they're full-blown intelligence assets.
	Just to add to your point, it's possible that those 56 guys, including Hayden and Clapper and Brennan, they were all on that note saying the laptop was bogus.
	Those guys seem to be on the other side of a divide because, as you mentioned, these other guys are all a bunch of spooks, too, and they're the ones calling for these other guys' heads.
	Yes.
	So there's all kinds of infighting.
	So there is a rift.
	Yeah, there's infighting, and so now the result, as far as I can tell, and I'm looking at these documents, and they look pretty damn real.
	And the Russian...
	This is part of what the...
	Was it the Russian defense minister?
	What he presented in the Security Council.
	He presented a lot of this information, which, of course, makes it Russian disinformation, playbook.
	But now we've got too many things connecting.
	And so...
	Jack Maxey says he's in Switzerland.
	I was going to say claims, but in this particular interview, he says, I'm in Switzerland because it's the safest place for me to be, because, paraphrasing, all these spooks that are running around, there's bad actors everywhere, you can't trust anybody, And he's gone to the embassy and he's finally trying to get this information out, which is these these new emails, which completely tie the knot between Hunter Biden, his dad, Joe,
	the prosecutor that needed to get fired, possibly even the prosecutor that needed to get fired, possibly even some of the outbreaks of Ebola in Africa where they just pop up and have surveillance and solutions, etc.
	I mean, it almost answers my question, which I think I've asked several times in the past 15 years.
	Is it possible to think that pharmaceutical companies around the time when allergies pop up, they throw shit in the air just to sell stuff?
	And that's exactly what it seems like.
	Like this company, this Meadow Biota.
	Well, we do know for a fact that they did throw shit in the air in San Francisco years and years ago, I think in the 60s, to see, you know, to test how far stuff would travel, and they made a bunch of people sick.
	Oh, really?
	Just random stuff.
	Just random shit?
	Wow, I didn't know that.
	It was something they could trace.
	It was something very specific.
	I think Mimi got hit by this stuff once in a while.
	Here, the Metabiota offering.
	Metabiota's analytics platform has been well received in the global reinsurance market, as well as in the government technology and intelligence communities.
	We provide a significantly differentiated epidemic offering in terms of scope, granularity, and transparency.
	I mean...
	That's interesting.
	An epidemic offering.
	So you can look at that at your leisure.
	But Jack Maxey did this interview with a woman named Ann Vander Steele, which sounds like a real name.
	And she does a show.
	I don't know if it's on Bitchute, but it's also on podcast and it's called The Steele Truth.
	And I had to pull some clips from this because this is crazy.
	This is really just crazy.
	So here is Jack Maxey on the lam hiding out in Switzerland while he's trying to get all the forensics together to blow the lid off of this thing, which I consider to be blown already.
	I have 100% clear, 100% in writing evidence that metaboyota...
	You've heard me speak about this.
	Metabiota is inside Ukraine, working in those labs, is a DOD contractor in writing.
	And just 15 minutes ago, we found documents that make it appear as if Zolchevsky, the crooked criminal chairman of Burisma, is actually one of the largest shareholders of Metabiota.
	And now America and the world can understand exactly why Joe Biden had to go over there and make sure that Zolchevsky was never prosecuted.
	Yes, we were running labs inside Ukraine.
	Yes, MetaBiota was in those labs.
	Yes, Zolchevsky, the chairman of Burisma, is one of the largest shareholders of this company.
	And I'm going to tell you this is 100% why Joe Biden had to go get that prosecutor fired.
	This is 100% why Joe Biden had to become president, because these guys violated...
	The findings in the 2005 weapons on mass destruction document that was provided to the President of the United States that was going to provide a blueprint for...
	How to deal with everything from chemical, nuclear, and biological.
	And it was going to be done in a way that would have allowed for oversight by our elected leaders.
	I can tell everybody, there's not a single member of that Senate or House who should be re-elected.
	It's interesting, there's even photographic evidence of then-Senator Obama touring one of these bio labs.
	So everyone knew about it.
	Everybody was in on it.
	And this pisses off Mr.
	Maxey.
	He had a copy of his laptop since when?
	I delivered it to the Senate Judiciary Committee on July 8th.
	That's Graham, Grassley, Cotton, Blackburn, Sass, Tillis, you know, Kennedy, Lee, all these big heroes of our party.
	These people should be kicked out of their country clubs when we're done with this.
	Their pensions should be removed.
	People we have been betrayed like nobody can imagine.
	So there's a lot of this in this interview, which of course...
	Wow, this is a great interview.
	Yeah, the whole thing is worth...
	I mean, he gets really emotional.
	So I cut most of that stuff out because he's...
	Of course, he's a patriot and this is horrible and can't understand all this.
	So now, just a little extra bit, because it's not only...
	Emails and contracts and deals and documents.
	There's evidence all over this computer that Hunter was grooming and abusing his 12 year old niece.
	There are thousands of pictures of young girls.
	We finally decided to stop looking at the pictures because I am certain we're going to find things that are going to require me to take this to a police station here in Switzerland.
	These are the most awful people I have ever come across in my entire life.
	And I know that I'm angry and I'm running hot.
	Yeah, add to that how the president loves to sniff little girls.
	I mean, this is a sick, sick, sick, sick thing that's going on here, and I really believe Jack Maxey is telling the truth because we've seen enough photographic evidence to know that it's very plausible.
	Now, the other little spooks and numbnuts running around, all the people who are on Bitchute and Brideon and have their podcasts, and one of my favorites that I've always, always had a problem with is Tory.
	Do you remember Tori?
	Tori the black guy?
	No.
	Tori is the...
	She sucked up to Millie.
	Millennial Millie.
	And they produced that documentary.
	Yeah, Tori.
	She's always like, I'm former intelligence.
	I know what I'm doing.
	That really doesn't...
	I mean, this is just...
	I'm just nicking...
	No.
	I can't visualize her.
	What's her full name?
	I don't know.
	Listen, when you hear her voice, you'll remember.
	What you need to understand is that Laura Loomer, she's going to fix this.
	Two ways she's going to fix it.
	She's going to file a lawsuit.
	And you're going to be like, well, okay, let her file a lawsuit against Jack Dorsey.
	It's not going to be against Jack Dorsey.
	So you don't remember this at all?
	I mean, it's okay, because she's totally forgettable.
	Anyway, so she also sucked up to Laura Loomer.
	She's a suck-up.
	She's an amateur spook or something.
	I don't know what she is.
	She's trying to get Alex Jones-like traction.
	That's why she all of a sudden was in Millie's life.
	And if you remember, there was all that confusion about Millie's mom getting arrested and they put together this weird documentary with some sketchy people.
	Anyway...
	I was right!
	And I'm sick and tired of all these people talking about how, oh, Maxie hasn't done enough.
	There's Tori and little Garrett.
	They're going down, too, because they were working with the people trying to cover it up, and I will prove every single thing.
	So I want to interject here.
	Tori was at a Health and Freedom Conference a couple of weeks ago, and she walked out on stage saying she had Hunter Biden's laptop.
	I can explain how she got it.
	A fellow named Mike Tremarco.
	Mike Tremarco.
	Who was all over in Sidney's office and Rudy's office, and Steve finally kicked him out of our office because we're like, what is this clown show doing in here looking at our documents?
	I will say this right now.
	I would guess that Mike Tremarco is working for the feds.
	He's got his own problems with them.
	Maybe he's trying to cover up, you know, fix things for himself.
	But Mike Tremarco told me, he called me, and they've tried to set me up several times, called me last week.
	May or April, I guess it was, because I talked to Bernie Carrick about it.
	And he said, hey, Jack, I've got this friend who's got the laptop, and she's been hacking into Hunter Biden's cloud and bank accounts.
	You should see the stuff that she has found.
	My response?
	Whoever that woman or person is, they need to have the FBI kicking their door in right now because they're violating federal law.
	I have not done any of that.
	I've been astute in following the law and trying to be an honorable person.
	And I said, Mike, furthermore, how'd she get one?
	He goes, oh, I gave it to her.
	I said, really, Mike, how'd you get one?
	Uh, uh, uh, well, I know that one went missing from Rudy.
	Early, early on, Mike probably stole it.
	In fact, I'll say Mike stole it.
	So, this infighting is great.
	I completely believe this is going on.
	And these are low-level or ex-spooks, and they're all in it for their own reasons.
	I can totally see this happening.
	I'm not going to...
	It's interesting.
	Keep playing clips.
	I got the last one here, and this also kind of struck me as interesting.
	What if this was really a long game?
	Not that he's implying this, I'm implying it.
	That the setup was a long game with the laptop, and that the New York Post was actually involved.
	That they knew that they were going to get suppressed and it was going to be part of the setup somehow?
	The reason I say this is because of Miranda Devine.
	Miranda Devine is, I think she's the editor of the Post, the British woman.
	She's on Tucker all the time.
	No, she's not the editor of the Post.
	She's one of the writers.
	She's one of the writers.
	Well, now that I think about it, MI6? Maybe?
	No, you've said before, because I've played clips from her, that you think she's MI6. Here's the last clip from Maxie.
	You know, nobody calls me back anymore, Ann.
	They're all making money on fixing the election or writing books, right?
	You want to talk about Miranda Devine's book?
	Let's talk about what's not in Miranda Devine's book.
	That's the most important part about Miranda Devine's book.
	Find me actually anything in her book that was not revealed to me earlier on Twitter or elsewhere.
	So it's enough.
	Time has to end.
	Real men and women have taken over.
	Okay?
	We're not stooges.
	Okay?
	We're not afraid of you FBI agents and CIA agents and whoever else.
	And if we have to fashion the Constitution, as I told the Committee on the Present Danger last Friday, you wonder why everything blew up this past week?
	Because I told everyone where I was going.
	I told them I'm going to Switzerland with a team of forensic experts to sort this all out.
	Well, we shall see.
	It certainly seems to be out there and on the loose, and it's going to have to be addressed eventually by M5M. I would think so.
	I mean, the picture...
	It's getting too good.
	It's like a low-hanging fruit for some writer who wants to actually do some real work.
	Well, in my opinion...
	There's too many children involved with all these stories, and I'm just thinking there's way too much blackmail and...
	It appears like a lot of people are running very, very scared.
	All you have to do is just weave Epstein into this narrative and then you've got the reasons why nothing's happening.
	Well, it would be very easy to show because the connection is between another shareholder of Metabiota who also was on the board of Jelaine Maxwell's A non-profit that she, or the UN organization, Terraforma or something, which is to save the oceans bullcrap.
	So the connections are everywhere.
	All the time.
	It's a mess.
	It's a mess, but it's a lovely mess.
	This is a great time to be a podcaster because we don't have to actually do what Jack Maxey's doing.
	Shapo ba to him.
	No, we just wait for it to hit bit shoot.
	We just play the clip.
	We're out of here.
	And we take no risk.
	But we do, I think, make people feel a little better about things.
	Because at least you get some view on it.
	We're getting the information out.
	We're conduits.
	Conduits, yes.
	Message pipes.
	Well, you're talking about screwy stories that are just not being covered at all.
	And that one is one of them, at least at this point.
	I didn't know any of this going on.
	I still don't know who Tori is.
	The podcast was Tory Says.
	Does that ring a bell?
	No.
	You're just digging a deeper hole for me.
	But here's another one.
	Did you know Trump is suing Hillary?
	Yes!
	The big Rico suit.
	I love it.
	President Trump against Hillary Clinton seeks damages amounting to at least $24 million and a jury trial.
	The complaint alleges crimes including conspiracy, theft of trade secrets, and obstruction of justice.
	It targets ex-British spy Christopher Steele along with around 30 others.
	We should sue everyone involved.
	There was quite an insidious effort to fabricate false evidence against then-candidate Trump, and that effort continued.
	Even after the election, there was a great deal of conspiratorial design that some very powerful people in government and in politics were involved in that.
	So when the Republicans take the majority through our committee oversight authority, we should investigate aggressively, and there should be criminal referrals that come from those investigations.
	I intend to be a part of that.
	Allegations that Trump was colluding with Russia, normally referred to as the Russian collusion, dragged on for years, going back to before Trump was elected in 2016.
	Basically, Trump is suing over reports that he claims were meant to weave a false narrative to ruin his bid for presidency.
	Those compiled reports are usually referred to as the Steele dossier.
	Man, everyone knows the truth about this now.
	I mean, it's talked about openly even in the mainstream, and yet they're still going to say, oh, Trump, this is crazy.
	He claims all this.
	This didn't happen.
	This didn't happen at all.
	No, this didn't happen.
	No, this is not possible.
	RICO, a racketeering intimidation criminal organization?
	It's something like that.
	Isn't this the mob law?
	It's the way they got out to the mafia specifically.
	It's never been challenged.
	A lot of experts say it's completely unconstitutional.
	Really?
	But hey, so is stealing somebody's yacht.
	That's right.
	So here's the other thing that's going on.
	This is Ginny Thomas.
	Oh, yes.
	This is good.
	I have a couple of clips on this, too.
	What do you got?
	Oh, good.
	Well, I've got to open it with this is from Democracy Now.
	Oh, you're going to hurt us right away.
	More damning details have emerged about Ginny Thomas's efforts to overcome.
	Maybe we should just explain this.
	Ginny Thomas is the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
	Notable things in context.
	He is black.
	She is white.
	He is currently, I think, still in hospital.
	I think now she's coming out.
	Okay.
	And a lot of people were posting publicly about they kind of hoped that he would die.
	Oh, that's sweet.
	That's the kind of people we're dealing with.
	Dave Weiner posted on his blog, I'm doing a little jig.
	I know I shouldn't, but I can't help myself.
	It's like, were people like that with Ruth Bader Ginsburg?
	I don't think so.
	That's pathetic that anyone would do that.
	But were people like that with RPG? People shouldn't be like that for anyone.
	No.
	Well, that's the state of where we're at, I guess.
	All right.
	So, yeah, the story should explain itself now that you know who the players are.
	More damning details have emerged about Ginny Thomas' efforts to overturn Donald Trump's 2020 election loss.
	In the weeks following the election, the wife of the Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas sent a flurry of text messages to Trump's chief of staff, Mark Meadows, urging him to take action to prevent a Biden victory.
	The messages included conspiracy theories about a stolen election popularized by the far right QAnon movement.
	On November 10th, after news outlets declared Joe Biden the winner, Ginny Thomas wrote to Meadows, quote, Help this great president stand firm, Mark.
	You are the leader with him who is standing for America's constitutional governance at the precipice.
	The majority knows Biden and the left is attempting the greatest heist of our history, unquote.
	Last January, the Supreme Court denied a request by Trump to block the release of White House documents around January 6th.
	Only one Supreme Court justice dissented in the 8-1 ruling, Clarence Thomas.
	Oh yeah, he didn't want that crazy wife of his to get implicated.
	Now, the details of what she actually texted to Mark Meadows are not in this report.
	And in fact, it starts off with...
	Wait a minute.
	What was the implication how she...
	Hold on a second.
	What was the clip again?
	Ginny...
	No, Ginny Thomas.
	Let me hear the opening again.
	More damning details have emerged about Ginny Thomas' efforts to overturn Donald Trump's 2020 election law.
	That's quite an implication there.
	That's the way she presents things.
	Okay, well here's CBS, who had a little more detail.
	The stunning text messages detail an extraordinary relationship between Ginny Thomas and then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, just after then-President Trump started his fight to overturn the 2020 election results.
	This is a major fraud in our nation.
	We want the law to be used in a proper manner.
	So we'll be going to the U.S. Supreme Court.
	The texts are among more than 2,000 messages.
	Isn't that interesting?
	Was this the January 6th speech?
	No, I think this was right after the election.
	Right after the election?
	Okay.
	The texts are among more than 2,000 messages Meadows provided to the January 6th committee.
	The first message from Thomas came the day before Joe Biden was declared the winner of the 2020 presidential election.
	Do not concede, she wrote.
	It takes time for the army who is gathering for his back.
	Thomas urged Meadows to help the president stand firm.
	The majority knows Biden and the left is attempting the greatest heist of our history.
	The messages don't directly reference Justice Thomas or the Supreme Court, but show how Ginny Thomas sought to guide the president's strategy to overturn the election, urging Meadows to make Trump's controversial attorney, Sidney Powell, the lead and the face.
	On November 24th, Meadows wrote Thomas, quote, this is a fight of good versus evil.
	Thomas replied, thank you, needed that.
	This plus a conversation with my best friend just now.
	It is unclear who Jenny Thomas was referring to.
	Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas often refers to his wife this way.
	I love being here with my bride, Virginia, who's a gift from God and my totally best friend in the whole world.
	Ginny Thomas recently acknowledged she had attended President Trump's rally at the Ellipse prior to the attack, but says she left before Mr.
	Trump addressed the crowd.
	I don't think I have to explain what's going on here.
	This is a scam.
	Oh yeah, they're going to try and impeach a Supreme Court justice.
	Yeah, they've got to get him out of there before November.
	Which can be done with a simple...
	They didn't kill him.
	They didn't kill him.
	Nope, nope, nope.
	And so now they're going after his wife, hoping it causes him some dismay, and so he quits.
	No, but not even that.
	Notice what they're saying.
	This is how he describes her.
	My best friend, the love of my life.
	So what?
	She sends an email to somebody and then says, hey, guess what?
	I sent an email to Meadows.
	I think this election is full of crap.
	Oh, you got to go.
	You got to be impeached for talking to your wife?
	There's more.
	This is the biggest pile of crap I've ever seen.
	Mark Meadows had no comment, though his attorney did confirm the content of the text messages.
	Ginny Thomas, she did not respond to multiple requests for comment today.
	And Justice Thomas, who's been hospitalized in recent days with an infection, he also did not respond to a request for comment made through the Supreme Court.
	Bob, just extraordinary reporting what you found out.
	I understand also Ginny Thomas.
	Extraordinary!
	We've got a pile of emails and I read one of them.
	That's extraordinary reporting.
	And then I tried to get a hold of two contacts.
	Neither one would talk to me.
	Oh, that's extraordinary reporting.
	You didn't get to talk to anybody.
	How's that extraordinary reporting, I'm asking you?
	Well, because you're calling it reporting when it's not.
	That's extraordinary.
	That is extraordinary reporting.
	Let's listen to that again.
	You know, by definition, you're absolutely right.
	Yes, yes.
	Mark Meadows had no comment, though his attorney did confirm the content of the text messages.
	Ginny Thomas, she did not respond to multiple requests for comment today.
	And Justice Thomas, who's been hospitalized in recent days with an infection, he also did not respond to a request for comment made through the Supreme Court.
	Bob, just extraordinary reporting what you found out.
	I understand.
	That's just extraordinary that you actually had nothing to say and no one wanted to talk to you.
	You had nothing to say but some readout.
	That's funny.
	I love it.
	Bob, just extraordinary reporting what you found out.
	Let's just make a sub clip of that.
	We actually used it for that in the show ISO. Bob, just extraordinary reporting what you found out.
	I understand.
	No, no, I can't.
	I can't.
	You can't flip it up.
	So that Ginny Thomas had some comments about the vice president of the United States.
	She's got to go.
	Indeed, working with Bob Woodward, we found she said that this is the end of America.
	Wait a minute.
	We're working with Bob Woodward?
	Hold on.
	What are we doing?
	It's the end of America as we know it.
	Because some woman, some wife of the Supreme Court justice, sent a couple of emails to Meadows bitching about the election.
	Oh my God!
	This is the end of America!
	President of the United States.
	Indeed.
	Working with Bob Woodward, we found she said that this is the end of America.
	It feels like...
	Wait, Bob Woodward?
	She says the end of America.
	Hold on a second.
	Okay, she's hysterical.
	Wait a minute.
	So Bob Woodward, he's the one that has the text messages?
	So this guy, not only did he not talk to anybody, but he didn't even get the messages himself.
	He's working with Bob Woodward?
	It's just reading from Bob Woodward's notes.
	Extraordinary reporting.
	Extraordinary reporting.
	Indeed.
	Working with Bob Woodward, we found she said that this is the end of America.
	It feels like Vice President Pence was betraying her.
	She said he disgusted her.
	And we also see the committee now really paying attention to the relationship between a spouse of a justice and a member of the executive branch.
	But it's still not clear what Justice Thomas did.
	And that raises the question, will Ginny Thomas be issued a subpoena by the January 6th committee?
	We'll be watching that in the coming days.
	Meanwhile, we have, what, 100 people in jail not charged with anything for over a year?
	We have political prisoners.
	They're going after judges.
	We have political prisoners.
	This bullcrap?
	Yes.
	What's next?
	You're going to throw gays off rooftops?
	Yeah, it's coming.
	Now, you want to hear really often...
	They take their yachts first.
	Yeah, right.
	You want to really hear unhinged.
	How about Mika on Morning Joe?
	Copies of 29 text messages were obtained by the Washington Post.
	NBC News has not reviewed those texts.
	The first message was a link to a video from a far-right conspiracy theorist that claimed Trump watermarked ballots as part of an effort to catch fraud.
	In the message she texted...
	I hope this is true.
	Never heard anything like this before, or even a hint of it.
	Possible, she asked?
	She went on to quote a passage that circulated on far-right websites about the, quote, Biden crime family and ballot fraud co-conspirators being arrested and, quote...
	We'll be lying in barges off Gitmo to face, living in barges off Gitmo to face military tribunals for sedition.
	My God.
	According to the Post, on November 6th, she followed up, encouraging Mark Meadows, quote, do not concede.
	It takes time for the army who is gathering for his back.
	This is crazy.
	This is crazy, but anything...
	It's just...
	You are very upset about this.
	Because it's like a mountain out of a molehill.
	There's plenty of people out there that have wacky ideas and they think certain things or certain ways and they say certain things.
	So what?
	It's a free country?
	What about all the free speech that Biden's talking about in Ukraine?
	Oh, we've got to have free speech and somebody...
	Sends a simple memo to Meadows expressing some concern based on good or bad information?
	Yeah.
	And she's out of control?
	Yeah.
	Meanwhile, look at Sean Penn.
	It's okay what he does.
	I know.
	I know, I know, I know.
	It's great.
	It's a great time to be a podcaster as far as I'm concerned.
	The funny thing is I noticed that this story, when I got the Democracy Now!
	clip of it and I flipped around, I saw lead story for NBC, lead story for CBS. They're all running as the lead story.
	Ginny Thomas.
	I never heard of Ginny Thomas until a week ago.
	Have you?
	Yes, I have.
	Mo and I have discussed this in context of black men, white women.
	Okay, well, that would be, that makes sense.
	That makes sense, yeah, that makes sense.
	But have you not talked to Mo about it?
	You probably never heard of her either.
	Nobody has.
	No, of course not.
	You're digging this up to try to get Clarence to quit.
	And the thing is, he's such a stubborn old fucker, to be honest about it.
	He won't quit.
	He'll see through this and he's like, he refused to quit.
	He shouldn't quit.
	That's ridiculous.
	But when you go after a dude's wife...
	And when they...
	By the way, the other thing they're promoting is that Clarence Thomas, and they always say, because now they can say that, they couldn't say this like a year ago, they say, the oldest surviving member of the Supreme Court.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	He's the oldest.
	You gotta go!
	Oh, yeah.
	Mm-hmm.
	Yeah.
	Well, I'm sure Clyburn is licking his chops.
	Clyburn, you know the other reason they would never pick Clyburn even though you keep promoting it?
	Yeah.
	He's too old.
	They want to get a 40-year-old in there that'll stay in office for 30, 40 years.
	No, you got a good point there.
	You got a good point.
	He's like 80.
	It's just very interesting when, you know, so clearly Ginny has been listening to the X-22 report.
	Yeah, or something.
	She's out of control.
	Yeah, because she literally, I've seen these text messages, she's talking about the quantum financial system, you know, the off-world servers, all the stuff that we definitely discussed running up to the election, the quantum watermarks on the ballots.
	But also other stuff that, of course, turns out to be true, such as ballot stuffing and all kinds of shenanigans going on.
	And the military is going to protect Trump.
	So none of that came true yet.
	So she's clearly listening to unhinged stuff.
	Yes, get her to listen to our show so she's a little more sensible, a little more balanced.
	I've got some Texas clips I want to get out of here.
	Okay.
	You're in the news, my friend.
	You're in the news.
	What are we doing?
	What have we done?
	Everything.
	Oh, yeah.
	Okay.
	Let me guess.
	More Amy?
	More Amy?
	Yeah, the Amy's out to get Texas.
	Let's go with the Texas pride story.
	In Texas, Attorney General Ken Paxton is accusing the Austin Independent School District of breaking state law for celebrating LGBTQ plus pride this week.
	In a letter, Paxton argued the district's eighth annual pride events were considered sex education that require consent from parents.
	Several district administrators have reported death threats and had their personal information posted online.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And then now this consisted of children marching through the hallways with rainbow flags and pride stuff.
	Yeah, they should do it more like they do in the San Francisco Pride Day stuff.
	Or that's one street festival they have where they're really all dressed up in costumes.
	They should do that in the school in Texas.
	Well, I just don't think it's appropriate for school.
	It's not appropriate for school.
	Yeah.
	In my mind.
	It's not appropriate for school.
	Yeah, well, it is in Amy's mind.
	I know, but then we need to have a cis day, and then we have a day for everybody.
	Okay, I see where you're coming from.
	It's okay if you want to do LGBT. And by the way, if you don't do LGBTQIAPK +, you're going to have to have more days because the K-pluses will be mad, or the second of the A's will be mad.
	So either you do it for everybody, or you don't do it.
	Well, let's go with this other story there, which is probably more to your liking, which is the banning of books.
	The banning of books!
	We should be burning them!
	Burn them!
	In related news, the superintendent of Texas' Granbury Independent School District has demanded a group of librarians remove books on sexuality and gender identity.
	An investigation by NBC News ProPublica and the Texas Tribune revealed leaked audio of Jeremy Glenn's meeting with district librarians in early January.
	I'm not saying that we're going to be pulling all our books out or burning books or anything like that.
	Absolutely not.
	I think there's an absolute place probably for every book.
	It just may not be in a public school library.
	We're not going to have 14-year-old girls pick up a book in our high school about sex.
	It ain't going to happen.
	You know, the irony is that 14-year-old girls probably wrote half those books.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I mean, this is going to be a debate about maturity and age, and it's just easy to say it's just not appropriate for school.
	That's my personal opinion.
	You're right in there.
	You're a Texan.
	I am.
	Well, this is also happening in Florida, and as you know, Governor DeSantis has been under attack from schools, particularly because the so-called don't say gay bill, which is not actually called that, and what it prohibits is sex education of any form, I think, of any child younger than seven.
	But look what happened.
	I just thought this was interesting.
	So DeSantis, he countered.
	It's pretty strong.
	They had the don't say gay bill.
	That was a meme that was just hammering it.
	I mean, it was good.
	It was well constructed.
	It's easy to say.
	Of course, it's bull crap because it's LGBTQIA plus.
	So he turned it into the groomer's bill.
	So this is the groomer's bill.
	Yeah, that was a good switcheroo.
	I liked it.
	And then, so, then subsequently, you remember the Disney CEO? He said, well, I'm going to go talk to DeSantis about this.
	We're going to have a corporate walkout.
	And then not only did DeSantis do the switcheroo and call it the groomer bill, but then they arrested 108 people working at Disneyland at the amusement park on sex trafficking in a sting operation.
	All of a sudden you didn't hear anyone talk about the don't say gay bill, did you?
	No, they shut up fast.
	And that was just probably a sampling.
	108 people!
	At Disney World.
	Yeah, four Disney employees, three working in amusement parks, and one in its IT department.
	Oh, no.
	Oh, no.
	You need the dude named Ben to work.
	Without a dude named Ben, you can't pull it off.
	Can't pull it off without a dude named Ben.
	I bet you $10 he's fat.
	Oh, no.
	Well, a lot of dude named Ben are fat.
	Okay, well, I'm just not.
	I'm sorry.
	I shouldn't have said anything.
	Then if you're a dude named Ben and you're fat, then you're implying that I might be involved in grooming.
	Okay, I'm sorry I said that.
	Yeah, you should be.
	Actually, most of the dudes named Ben are svelte and in pretty good shape.
	Exactly.
	There you go.
	Now you're talking.
	Let's see.
	Do we have any other dumb...
	Oh, yeah.
	A spin-off of those two stories is the Arizona story.
	Might as well play that.
	Arizona story.
	Where is this?
	Oh, that would be right under one of them.
	It's something Arizona.
	T.G. Bills and A.Z. T.G. Bills.
	The Arizona State House has passed two anti-transgender bills.
	The legislation would prohibit medically necessary gender-affirming surgery for trans youth and ban trans athletes from participating in school sports.
	Arizona lawmakers also approved an aggressive anti-abortion bill that would ban the procedure after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
	The bill now heads to the desk of Republican Governor Doug Ducey, who supports anti-abortion policies.
	In more Arizona news, the state Senate Wednesday passed a Republican-led bill that would force residents to retroactively provide proof of citizenship to remain registered voters.
	Voting rights advocates have warned the bill could trigger, quote, Yes!
	And say black, Latinx, native, low-income, and senior voters would be disproportionately affected.
	Well, that's because...
	Because they're illegal!
	Well, because the...
	You can't vote if you're illegally.
	That's why those are illegals.
	Seriously?
	But the way he describes it is that the entire population of Arizona will be disenfranchised because all it consists of...
	Is illegals.
	...is old people illegals.
	Yeah, pretty much.
	Well, isn't that coincidental that Arizona is the first state with their Department of Transportation to implement the mobile ID? From the device you never leave home without, prove your identity with mobile ID. A contactless, convenient way to securely verify your identity from your phone.
	Prove your age by presenting an app-generated barcode for scanning or by simply showing the digital version of your license.
	Each step in the enrollment process adds another layer of security.
	The more information you give us, the more secure you'll be.
	People refuse to use these things.
	No, people think it's cool, man.
	Hey, that's easy.
	This is the problem.
	Somehow they think it's cool when it's not.
	Hey, man, this is really easy, man.
	This is easy to use.
	Oh, wow.
	I was standing in line at the store recently, and they had one of these lash-ups where some guy had his phone hooked up to an NFT that was supposed to be read by the terminal.
	And he's sitting there pushing it against the terminal.
	Everyone's waiting and lying.
	They're trying to push this and that.
	It never worked.
	It never worked.
	They didn't let him check out.
	Meanwhile, we're all waiting there for him to figure out what he's doing.
	Were you sighing behind him?
	Oh, yeah.
	You know, I was rolling my eyes, throwing my head around, throwing my arms in the air, talking to the guy behind me, saying, when is this idiot going to get out of here?
	And the guy's nodding his head.
	Yeah, I don't know.
	And so, yes, that would be me.
	I'm one of those guys.
	You are that guy.
	I am.
	I would cut you.
	I'm the guy who just goes, oh, oh.
	I would cut you.
	You got a problem, buddy?
	You got a problem there?
	Back there?
	No, the guys who are that boneheaded that can't seem to get through the line don't have the balls to do anything.
	You're a Karen.
	I'm not a Karen because I don't complain to the manager about it.
	Oh, that's true.
	That's true.
	I'm just someone who likes to move the line.
	That's all I care about.
	We're not standing here for our health.
	Time's wasting.
	I should just imagine that.
	Alright, let's talk about the Great Reset.
	Shall we just for a second?
	The Great Reset.
	The Great Reset, which is of course what I think all of this is about because the financial system is in huge trouble and it'd just be better to revalue everybody's money Base it on gold again or some other bull crap.
	We need to get rid of petrodollar.
	We need the Green New Deal.
	We need to print money.
	We need our central bank digital currency.
	But first, we have to make sure that we fulfill the main promise we've made on behalf of the World Economic Forum and the central bankers.
	And that is, you will own nothing and you will be happy.
	Next, a new way to get a new iPhone.
	Apple could soon be offering subscription plans.
	That means you could rent the phone instead of buying it.
	People reluctant to pay sky-high prices every time a new model comes out.
	You could just upgrade and spread out the payments.
	Interesting.
	Okay, no word yet on what a subscription might cost.
	Bloomberg reports Apple could unveil the plan as early as this year.
	There you go.
	You're not going to own your iPhone.
	Just rent your iPhone.
	You will rent everything in life.
	You will own nothing.
	You'll be happy.
	For a while, when the prices started to really go up, certainly in Austin, when we were actively selling our house, which took all of 24 hours, I noticed that there was a lot of investment companies buying up homes, turning around, and renting them to millennials.
	Yeah.
	And I was excoriated.
	Not by you, but certainly by the former New York bankers.
	This is bullshit.
	That's not really happening.
	This is not going on.
	What?
	Oh, yeah.
	It's obviously happening.
	We get advertisements on television in the Bay Area for people that do just that.
	They're advertising.
	They're so blatant.
	This was...
	Two years ago.
	BlackRock keeps talking about that's what they do.
	And that was specifically Blackstone, I think, is the one that's doing it.
	Blackstone, BlackRock.
	But it is BlackRock and Vanguard.
	They're all putting money into these companies that are buying it up.
	And CBS 60 Minutes Did a 60 minutes on it, which we've broken down into just a couple minutes.
	Every American is feeling the bite of inflation.
	Groceries cost more.
	Gas costs more.
	Everything seems to cost more.
	This past week, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates in an effort to tame the highest inflation in 40 years.
	The cost of rent is really through the roof.
	Residential rents across the country went up an average of 15% last year, nearly twice the overall inflation rate.
	That's particularly painful for tenants because according to Census Bureau data, they now often have to spend as much as half their total income on rent.
	Wire rents rising so much?
	Well, it turns out that big Wall Street firms are playing a role.
	But we found the fundamental problem was years in the making and will take years to fix.
	Just on the owning nothing and being happy about it.
	It will take years to fix.
	It takes one minute to fix.
	You just pass legislation that if you own a house, you've got to live in it.
	That's a pretty good idea.
	They're talking about it.
	I got a couple more clips, but I was just thinking...
	I got distracted.
	Okay, we'll continue.
	In the economic crisis of 2008 and 2009, construction of new housing came to a grinding halt.
	But even when the economy recovered, home construction didn't.
	So how big is the rental shortage in the United States?
	The government has estimated that we are short about 4 million homes in this country, and that number is likely growing, especially since the pandemic.
	4 million.
	Shy.
	Yes.
	That's the hole that we're in that we need to build ourselves out of.
	That number, 4 million, is that mainly in the South and Southwest, or does that include New York City and San Francisco?
	That's the entire country.
	Yeah, the South and Southwest.
	Do you think that could have anything to do with millions of immigrants who've come in illegally?
	Just a thought, maybe, maybe not.
	What I was going to say earlier, growing up, even as a young kid, we always wanted to own something.
	You know, something you could show, hey man, look at this cool thing.
	And it could have been a marble, it might have been something else, but also stamp, stamp collection, and And you'd own that.
	And I remember all the time as a kid, like, shit, I need some money.
	And I'd sell something or I'd trade something.
	I need some money.
	Listen, I know a lot of people, friends of mine, who said, hey, man, I got a couple guns for sale because I'm tight on cash and this lockdown has got me strapped.
	And I'm like, yeah, I'll buy a gun from you.
	And, you know, if you ever want to buy it back, that's cool.
	Same price, best price.
	But isn't that also a thing?
	Is that shameful or something?
	Isn't that a practice that is kind of a good idea?
	So you could also understand that having a house maybe one day may be handy if you want to retire or if everything goes to shit.
	If you're cold.
	I mean, these types of things.
	All right, so now let's talk about some of these actors here.
	Gary Berman is CEO of Tricon Residential, a Toronto-based company that has quietly become one of the largest owners of single-family homes in the United States.
	So today, we own about 30,000 single-family rental homes across the U.S., largely in the Sunbelt, and we've got probably about 75,000 people living in our homes.
	You are a multi-billion dollar company.
	You're publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange.
	I even read in one of your own documents that your revenue went up last year by 67%.
	Is that correct?
	Yeah, we're expanding.
	I mean, when you think about it, we have an incredible amount of demand for what we do.
	So, Leslie, in any given week, we might have 200 or 300 homes available.
	For renting?
	For renting.
	And we get about 10,000 leasing inquiries a week.
	Alright, so you see how the scam is in.
	And you're absolutely right.
	This should be forbidden, or you should at least have to live in the house that you buy.
	There's some tricks around that as well.
	And this guy feels like he's doing a service.
	Oh, I'm doing a good job here because I'm buying up houses.
	These guys are all arrogant about that.
	By the way, you have to also combine this just for people out there...
	Doing the math.
	You have to combine it with the people who buy a house and then they buy another house for Airbnb purposes.
	And sometimes they'll have a couple of those and then, you know, those are just individuals.
	These big companies, which aren't buying for Airbnb purposes, they're buying for, you know, Warren Buffett kind of promoted this idea a number of years back that rental properties are going to be the next big thing.
	Well, yeah, because he's a World Economic Forum guy.
	Of course he is.
	TryCon is trying to buy 800 houses a month.
	And there are companies even bigger.
	Invitation Homes owns more than 80,000 rental houses.
	American Homes for rent, close to 60,000.
	Some of the all-stars of finance, Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Blackstone, have put hundreds of millions of dollars into these companies.
	They all offer rental homes online and all focus on the Sunbelt.
	And so, surprise, surprise, when you have this kind of activity, it's going to be really hard for people to buy a home.
	Heather Kruayai is a Redfin real estate agent in Jacksonville.
	She represents both buyers and sellers.
	You are seeing a lot of these Wall Street investors that are coming in.
	You put a house on the market, and within an hour, I'm getting offers, full price, cash.
	And so the sellers are seeing that, and Oh, okay, cash, we can close in 15 days.
	It's very enticing to people when they see that offer come across.
	So when you sell, are you having to stage the house, paint it, put furniture in, make it look really nice?
	Not now.
	It's not necessary now.
	And this way, the way the market's going now, you really don't need to do anything to your house to sell it.
	Typically, the investors never look at the home.
	Never.
	They don't even look at the home.
	They never look at it.
	That, plus the fact that investors often waive inspections, puts would-be first-time homebuyers at a serious disadvantage.
	Before they can even see a starter house, it's gone.
	You know, the sad thing is that the people who watch 60 Minutes are probably sitting there going, damn, I've got to get me in on some Blackstone.
	I've got to get me some Vanguard.
	This is a bonanza.
	Well, it's not a bonanza.
	It's pretty risky, it seems to me.
	Well, here's the final bit.
	This is the clip that just does me in on this.
	Tricon's own presentation to investors says, quote, home ownership is increasingly out of reach.
	In our portfolio, the majority cannot buy a home, cannot afford to buy a home, or don't have the credit to buy the home.
	So, for example, they may have student debt or they may have medical debt, and therefore they can't qualify to get a mortgage.
	And if they want access to a single-family home, which we think is incredibly important, this is the best way for them to obtain it.
	I think if you asked a lot of millennials, and that tends to be our primary resident, they would probably tell you they don't necessarily desire to own a home or to own a car.
	They've grown up in the sharing economy, and for what's important to them is lifestyle.
	And so if they can move into this, what we call a turnkey or hotel-ready home, and have a low-maintenance lifestyle, that's very compelling for them.
	Very compelling.
	So what's happened to the American dream?
	We used to say that it meant owning a house.
	What's the American dream now?
	Well, if we think the American dream is embodied in a suburban home with a yard and a white picket fence, then I think we're making the American dream much more accessible.
	Rent your American dream.
	You can rent the American dream.
	That is if you can afford the rent.
	Come on, man.
	We're renting the American dream now?
	This is as bad as Obama and his American dream idea.
	Yeah, work hard.
	Just getting by.
	And how about this hotel-ready home?
	You know what that means.
	You also rent the furniture.
	This is a big thing now.
	I think they come furnished.
	No, no, no, no.
	I don't have a clip, but this is a big thing.
	Renting furniture.
	I need a couch.
	I need a bed.
	Randy Furniture's been around since, I think I first heard about it in the 70s.
	NBC had a different take.
	Not a different take, but another angle.
	Our country is plagued by a basic math problem.
	Lots of people are lining up to buy houses, but there just isn't enough supply.
	Does it feel like a nearly impossible task to do this without some help?
	I would say yes, because I've tried nine times.
	You were 0 for 9.
	0 for 9.
	Nine offers for homes, nine rejections.
	In a hot housing market like Atlanta's, health consultant Kyle Donald got a hot tip from his realtor Giselle.
	Try a new company she works with, Homeward.
	It's one of a growing group of real estate firms that provide buyers with all cash offers, strengthening their hand in competitive bidding wars.
	The company buys the house, and then Kyle would buy it right back from them.
	We're either a mortgage with Homeward or an outside lender.
	What kind of advantage does that afford to the people coming in with all cash?
	It provides a really good advantage.
	As we know, in real estate, in the real estate industry, cash is king.
	Especially as big investment firms are buying up inventory with all cash offers.
	Just look at the latest trends on who's winning the housing tug of war.
	In the third quarter of 2020, just more than one in five homes were all cash sales.
	But a year later, it's more like one in three.
	And in some cities, it's been even more dramatic, like in Columbus, Ohio, the Phoenix metro area.
	And at the top of that list, Atlanta's Metro, with nearly 70% of homes being sold for cash.
	So these companies, you go to the company and they say, don't worry, we'll buy it for cash, and then we'll sell it to you.
	That seems, there's got to be some, almost like loan sharking in a way.
	No, it seems more like a factor to me.
	Yeah, the middleman that takes, you know, a lot of businesses require these guys in the middle to do this kind of work, and they just get a commission.
	It's not like a jib.
	No, but he's saying that they will then sell it to you through their own mortgage company.
	Yeah, they have the mortgage all set up, everything's ready, and then they can do the cash deal, and then they give it to you, and you just walk away with the house, and the seller doesn't have to wait.
	So it's just to prevent that.
	I don't think that's a scam.
	Necessarily.
	Well, the whole concept is a scam.
	It's horrible.
	I feel bad, but look at it.
	They're right.
	Today's millennial, I don't know what we did or what we did wrong, but they just don't want to own shit.
	Anything.
	You consider yourself a millennial?
	No, Gen X. What are you talking about?
	No, the Gen Xers, I think, got in pretty good shape.
	They got in.
	Yeah, I'm a Gen Xer.
	Yeah.
	So I own stuff.
	I like having stuff.
	Not too much stuff.
	I like stuff.
	No, the millennials are the ones that got screwed.
	Right.
	No.
	Yes, the millennials got screwed.
	But what happened?
	What made them not want stuff?
	Pure price?
	No, I don't think that was it.
	They were brainwashed.
	That's when the school started educating people.
	In fact, there's even a couple of clips on the YouTube I saw, why you should never buy a house.
	Because if you buy a house, you can't move quickly to your opportunity in Dubai.
	Alright, one more clip before we take this break.
	This shows you that the Great Reset is upon us because now they're getting the elites to eat bugs.
	Nigella Lawson, one of my favorite celebrity chefs from the UK, was down under.
	The city of the longest lockdown, now the city of the longest lunch.
	An event marking the start of the 30th Melbourne Food and Wine Festival.
	I think we can call it.
	We're back.
	We are back.
	The list of impressive names at the function topped by international celebrity cook, Nigella Lawson.
	Guests treated to a three-course meal from Attica's Ben Shuri, who had his work cut out for him.
	We're a restaurant for 50 and this is 2,000 people here today, so it's quite different.
	One dish made quite the impression when it came out covered in ants.
	There were ants, but they were very flavoursome.
	I honestly couldn't really taste it, but I was feeling them in my teeth a little bit after.
	I'm just wondering if I've got ants in my teeth.
	I can't see any.
	Earning the meal's architect a lap of honour.
	High five!
	High five!
	Don't leave me hanging!
	High five for the ants.
	They're high-fiving him.
	Great job!
	They're not stuck in my teeth.
	Well, as I said, he could desiccate them and make a nice pepper sauce, but I wouldn't do it.
	The thing is, Nigella, who seemed to be the most standoffish woman you can ever imagine as a cook.
	Pretty much.
	She's like, she's not even, I don't know.
	She's lost a lot of weight.
	Well, she started off pretty thin, and then she got fat, and she decided to stop eating her own food.
	Nigella Nutella.
	I mean, another one that suffered from there, Rachel Ray.
	Holy mackerel, what happened to her?
	Oh, she'd blow up?
	Oh, yeah.
	Again, eating too many rehearsals.
	Yeah, too much sampling.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Hmm.
	Oh, Nigella, wasn't she the one that was married to that weird dude, the advertising guy, and they were in a public fight and he slapped her?
	Oh, that's, I think, when she...
	The Saatchi, one of the Saatchi brothers, I think?
	Yeah, that's when she ballooned.
	Right.
	Anyway...
	So that's it.
	The Great Reset is upon us.
	It's coming.
	The 70s are back and we're eating bugs.
	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.
	Yeah, we go have a few people to thank after our little session of gossip, which is always enjoyable by the audience, starting with Greg Kovaleck.
	He liked it.
	He's in Sunbury, Pennsylvania, and he says he wants to give a big douchebag call out to one of my co-workers who got me hooked on the show.
	Here's to you, Atari Bill.
	Douchebag!
	There you go.
	And we jump right from there in our short donation segment, very short, right away to Sir Kevin McLaughlin, Duke of Luna, lover of America and boobs in Concord, North Carolina.
	It's 8008.
	And he's still on the move.
	Michael Armstrong, Boston, Massachusetts, 75.
	Michael Anthony Mitchell in Rosedale, New York.
	Oh, by the way, I'm sorry.
	Michael Armstrong needs a dedouching.
	You've been dedouched.
	Michael Anthony Mitchell in Rosedale, New York, 6969.
	He says thanks for all the laughs.
	Jose Paredes, Paredes, Paredes, Paredes, one of the two.
	In Wichita, Kansas, 6933.

	You've been de-douched.
	Sir Not Jake.
	In Thompson, Connecticut, 5678.
	Chris Rasek, Rasek, Rasek, Rasek, Rasek.
	Rasek.
	Fairhope, Alabama.
	He's got a birthday and he wants a 55.
	I mean, he came in with 55.
	I don't think he needs a douching.
	Jonathan Schechter, 5492, surprised the night of astonishment in Yukon, Oklahoma, 5444.
	Gergana Yankova in Buckinghamshire, Chessom, UK, 5033.
	Scott Nelson in Council Bluffs, Iowa 50-01.

	Shane Morrison in Clark, New Jersey.
	Shauna Norberg in Seattle, Washington.
	Jack Schofield in Yankee Town, Florida.
	Monica Kidwell in Floyd's Knobbs, Indiana.
	Our fave.
	What happened to Floyd?
	Douglas Ellis.
	Floyd was the first transsexual in Indiana, I might add.
	Really?
	Douglas Ellis.
	Wait a minute, wait.
	Is that true?
	No.
	It's a joke.
	Floyd's knobs, get it?
	Yeah.
	I guess not.
	Douglas, they don't all hit.
	Douglas Ellis in New York, New York.
	Greg Hartlob in Cincinnati, Ohio.

	He needs a dedouching.
	You've been dedouched.
	And S.J. Alexander in Commie, Seattle.
	Yes, Commie.
	And last but not least, on our list of $50 donors, Timothy White in Maple Park, Illinois.
	I want to thank all these people for making the show 1437, I believe, viable.
	And it made it happen.
	It's a little short again, but we're expecting this because of what we're covering.
	Just because of the covering or also the inflation?
	We're covering inflation tax time.
	Yeah, it's the trifecta of doom for podcasters.
	Thank you, though, for those who were able to support us.
	This is value for value, so it doesn't matter what you give as long as it's meaningful to you.
	And we have increasingly more people, $49.99, so under $50 is always anonymous.
	So that's okay, too.
	And thanks to everyone who's even lower down there, but that's our sustaining donations.
	These are subscriptions.
	We got 1212s, 33s, all kinds of different numerology.
	Or you can always set one up yourself.
	And again, thanks to our execs and associate executive producers for episode 1437.

	It's like, I have to try it.
	You can't have a ceremony without mutton and mead.

	May on the 19th.
	Anyway, there's just a crap load of meetups.
	This is completely producer organized.
	People getting together because they want to be in a community and talk about whatever it is.
	You've got a common bond in the show.
	Everybody else is different and it's cool to watch.
	It's fun.
	Kids love it.
	And it's very good for your amygdala.
	Noagendameetups.com.
	Go find one near you.
	If not, start one yourself.
	Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
	You want to be where you won't be.
	Triggered on hell's flame.
	You want to be where everybody feels the same.
	It's like a party.
	Alright, for some reason I have a bunch of ISOs.
	Do you have anything?
	I only have a couple.
	Okay.
	Why don't you play all your...
	I'll play all mine first?
	Okay.
	Here we go.
	Let's see what we got.
	This is absolute nonsense.
	Okay.
	Uh, great package.
	I just like Chris Hayes saying that.
	I love that.
	Not bad.
	What's his name?
	Uh, Mumbly Joe.
	Hmm.
	Uh, this one.
	Thank you for your company.
	Thank you for your company.
	Ooh, I like that one.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	This is crazy.
	That's Mika, and...
	Thank you so much for joining us.
	I like that one, too.
	It's a, yeah.
	That's it?
	That's, yeah, that's what I got.
	So you like, thank you for your company.
	I got two.
	All right.
	I got...
	Painful.
	It was a long, painful slog.
	Yes.
	And I end the show thing.
	And then cut in half.
	The economy is on track to be cut in half.
	I like the painful.
	I don't know if it's better than the other one.
	Let me play them side by side.
	Hold on a second.
	So, what was it?
	Yes.
	This one.
	Thank you for your company.
	It was a long, painful slog.
	I don't know.
	Combined is beautiful.
	Nah, no, no.
	I'd just rather do the painful slide then.
	I think that's better.
	Okay.
	Painful slog.
	Slog, slog, slide, whatever.
	No one knows what the heck the guy's saying.
	I don't know what he's saying.
	Does it really matter?
	Do we really have to explain what he's saying?
	No.
	That's it.
	I mean, you know, I don't want you to think the show is long unless you've got something else to play.
	I think the show is long already.
	No, I can skip this.
	It's just a climate change protest in Australia.
	I can put it forward.
	So amazingly, we got through the entire show without one mention of COVID. You're going to mention it.
	I know I had to mention it.
	Without one mention of COVID. But I think we'll be fine.
	Except that they're going to try and lock you down again.
	They're obviously bringing up the stupid sub-variant Batuu 3, whatever the heck is going on.
	So we'll see.
	Batuu, Batuu.
	But we did have dinner with our friends last night who have the testing company.
	Yeah.
	Testing.
	They test for organizations.
	Testing is going to be with us for a long time.
	It is not going away.
	Yeah, that's what it looks like.
	It's not going away, and it's going to be part of the regime, and it's going to be joyous because you won't even own your test, and you'll love it.
	Yeah.
	We rent them.
	We shall return on Sunday, but not before we leave you with some dynamite end-of-show mixes.
	We have Gary Jungling, we got Amdusius, Tom Starkweather, and Soundguy Steve.
	There you go.
	Up next on NoAgendaStream.com, if you're already hanging out in...
	If you're already, hmm, I guess I don't have, uh, what's next?
	I should know what's next, but I don't know what's next.
	Well, stay tuned to the troll room.
	It's going to be great.
	Whatever's next on NoAgendaStream.com, it's going to be dynamite.
	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, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We return on Thursday.
	Please join us for that, and continue to remember us and support us at dvorak.org.na.
	Until then, adios mofos!
	And such!
	We're talking about the significance of the passage of time. .
	Right?
	The significance of the passage of time.
	So when you think about it...
	It's far out of here.
	There is great significance to the passage of time in terms of what we need to do.
	I'm so lazy!
	And there is such great significance to the passage of time.
	Only think about the day in your life with our children.
	What are you, people?
	On door?
	Far out.
	From farm to table, food prices are up.
	You know, if you've gone out to a restaurant recently or maybe even a bar, you may have noticed that some menu items are more expensive.
	With Russia as a top fertilizer exporter, prices have shot record highs for the last month.
	You don't need us to tell you that trips to the grocery store are getting pricier.
	Well, we're not expecting a food shortage here at home.
	So basically this food crisis is already in process, in progress.
	It's a slow motion disaster that is already underway.
	Food insecurity goes hand in hand with inflation.
	We have a new pandemic, which is the inflation.
	The food already having risen in costs.
	The upcoming crop season will be vital for determining future prices of a range of different products, all the way from gasoline to ground beef.
	It's simply not available.
	Fertilizer is simply not available.
	With regard to food shortages, yes we did.
	We still talk about food shortages.
	And it's going to be real.
	The price of these sanctions is not just imposed upon Russia.
	It's imposed upon an awful lot of countries as well, including European countries and our country as well.
	The single most important thing is for us to stay unified.
	So, let's see.
	Um...
	Let me, let me, let me, let me up toward you.
	I can, I'll circle back.
	There's more, I can chip.
	I'll have, there's more, I can chip.
	I'll have, there's more, I can chip.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	We are united and that's what we did.
	We stayed united.
	We have to talk about it because the American people think the reason for inflation is government spends more money.
	Simply not true.
	It matters.
	I'll be honest with you, as I always promised I would be.
	Falsify and justify.
	You agree with the move?
	Falsify and justify.
	For years to come, all Americans have repeatedly shown that they will not tolerate anyone who tries to take their country backwards.
	We're going to be okay.
	I call it Building a Better America.
	I know news about what's happening can seem alarming to all Americans.
	But the next few days and weeks and months will be hard on them.
	But I want you to know, we're going to be okay.
	When the history of this era is written, America will be weaker and the rest of the world stronger.
	Everyone from students to retirees to teachers, proud, proud people, pound for pound, ready to fight with every inch of energy they have.
	This is the real test.
	It's going to take time.
	It hasn't worked for working people in this nation for too long.
	It's all across America.
	I get it.
	That's why my top priority is getting Americans under control.
	Throughout our history, we've caused more chaos.
	Every administration says they'll do it.
	Now everyone sees it clearly.
	I really mean to think about that.
	It is in this moment that our character this generation is formed.
	Our purpose is found.
	Our future is forged.
	That's what's happening.
	Let's end America as we know it.
	And we stand ready to do more if necessary.
	I don't even think about that.
	I'm not looking to punish anybody.
	All Americans have repeatedly shown that they will not tolerate anyone who tries to take their country backwards.
	Let's go, Brandon.
	I agree.
	The best podcast in the universe.
	Adios, mofo.
