	We're not like everybody else.
	We're going to tell Russia to eat pounds salt.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, March 31st, 2022.
	This is your award-winning Kimbo Nation Media Assassination, episode 1438.
	This is No Agenda.
	Bringing Bell Bottoms back 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 the hypocrites reign, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crackbottom Buzzkill in the morning.
	It's raining hypocrites?
	It's raining hypocrites.
	Hallelujah, really.
	Why?
	It just is.
	Well, Chris Rock's a good example.
	Oh man, this is a media deconstructor's dream.
	Well, it's a bit much.
	I loved this.
	This was perfect.
	These things work so well when so many different parties could potentially benefit from the controversy.
	You should at least give a quick overview of what happened.
	Yes.
	I can give an overview.
	I also do have some thoughts on the matter.
	Okay.
	I would hope so.
	Yes, of course.
	Of course.
	Now, I'm sure everybody by now has seen the clip of the slap that went around the world.
	The slap.
	Remember the last slap that went around the world?
	There's a snap.
	The last slap was Cher.
	Snap out of it!
	What happened to Cher?
	Don't you remember Cher in the movie Moonstruck?
	Snap out of it!
	I think that was in the 80s.
	It was another slap heard around the world.
	So Chris Rock is presenting some piece of the Oscars and does the typical Hollywood thing.
	Hey, everybody, how you doing?
	Hey, good to see you.
	Good to see you.
	Hey, Jada.
	That's Will Smith's wife.
	I see you're getting ready for G.I. Jane 2.
	Can't wait for it.
	And there's a little bit of laughter.
	And then Will Smith saunters up on the stage and slaps Chris Rock.
	And then goes back to his seat and yells, Keep my wife's name out your fucking mouth.
	And he does that twice.
	And then he was...
	It was MFing Mouth, I think.
	Oh, yes, yes.
	Yes, you're right.
	No, I don't think it was MFing.
	Yeah, I think it was just Fing.
	At which point, I think the audience thought that this was a gag as it started out.
	I thought it was a gag.
	But the minute the audio went out, I went, hmm, not so much a gag.
	And of course, within seconds, people knew that the Oscars were actually on television that night.
	Now...
	Well, uh...
	It was weird because Will Smith thought it was funny and then he saw his wife wasn't laughing.
	Earlier in the show, it was believed that it was an Amy Schumer gag or one of the two women comedians that were up there that made some comment about the open marriage of Will Smith and his wife, which is not an open marriage if only one party is taking part.
	It's called having an affair.
	Shall we look at what's possibly going on here?
	I have a number of things.
	And this, again, was so good.
	And by the way, the most important thing is that no one cares about maternity wards being bombed anymore.
	Millionaire actors, well done.
	Slapping each other.
	I think I'm actually uniquely qualified to deconstruct this for a number of reasons.
	One, I've been in show business, in Hollywood show business.
	Two, I have met and worked with Will Smith.
	Three, my ex-interim wife had the alopecia, and I, in fact, myself in an alopecia-phobe.
	So I'm well positioned.
	Oh, you would be.
	Yes, yes, yes.
	Well, before you do it, since you have the deconstruction, I have a clip to set this up.
	Okay.
	Just to show you where we're coming from here.
	A couple of things.
	First of all, I want to mention that most people who have alopecia, the level that she has it, don't wear it on their sleeve.
	They wear a nice wig, a nice expensive wig, and you wouldn't know they had it.
	Can I just say one thing about alopecia, just so we know, because I know a lot about it.
	Alopecia is just a term for hair loss.
	It is not a cause.
	It's not an illness.
	You can't be a victim of it.
	A man who is bald has severe alopecia.
	So it's not a sickness or something.
	This is what people don't understand.
	All right.
	Well, let's play this clip, though, from 1991.
	Here's Will Smith.
	Will Smith is on the Arsenio Hall show, and there is a bald bass player in the band.
	Kevin.
	Yeah, Kevin.
	Kevin, the band leader.
	No, this is the bass player.
	This was not Kevin.
	Kevin Eubanks was not on the Arsenio Hall show in 1991.
	Okay, it doesn't matter.
	It was a bass player, and he is pointing the finger and mocking him for his bald head, and then backing off, and the guy gets a little irked by it.
	Here we go.
	You can't do that in this world, man.
	Arsenio, they got rules.
	They got rules.
	Like, he has a rule.
	The bass player, he got a rule.
	He got to wax his head every morning.
	That's a rule.
	He follows the rules, man.
	He follows the rules.
	Oh, these are jokes.
	Come on.
	See?
	You got too into the characters and got hurt.
	So back in the day, he could make the joke, and it worked.
	Of course, it was a man.
	It was a joke.
	Come on.
	It wouldn't be so annoying if it wasn't Will Smith who got upset by basically less of a joke.
	In fact, it was fairly lame as everyone analyzes it.
	I thought it was pretty lame, too.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, it was okay.
	It wasn't unfunny.
	It wasn't something that tears at someone's soul.
	No, far from it.
	Okay, so we've talked about what alopecia is.
	We'll get to that in a second.
	Now, there's one thing I've learned from doing over 70 episodes with Moe.
	You do not ever, nobody, nobody makes jokes about black women's hair.
	It is the third rail.
	It is, you just don't do it.
	There's no comments, no jokes, no nothing.
	It's a big, big deal.
	Now, about Jada Pinkett with her alopecia, I mean, she could do, and I'm just going to touch the third rail, she could do exactly what all black women do in entertainment, and she could just continue to wear wigs.
	Lots of people suffer from this.
	Lots of women solve it in different ways.
	But she, being a Hollywood narcissist, needed to bring all that attention to her.
	Oh, I have alopecia.
	Okay, you're a victim.
	Good.
	So now just the obvious deconstruction.
	Although I worked with him in the 80s, and I saw absolutely no evidence of this, Will Smith could just be one of those really aggressive guys.
	There are men out there, and you know them, I know them, and you say, you even look at their wife in a way they don't like, and all of a sudden they change, like Dr.
	Jekyll and Mr.
	Hyde.
	You know what I mean?
	O.J. Simpson.
	Thank you.
	Well, I don't want to...
	Not O.J. Simpson, but Tico Torres from Bon Jovi when we went to Moscow.
	I remember it was, I don't know if it was his fiancée, his wife, or his girlfriend, but, you know, we were on a big plane with all these people, and so I'm chatting to her, and then we're off the plane, I'm still chatting.
	He comes up to me, and he says, yeah, yeah, you know, he's kind of like making fun, but as he's saying it, he's like, he's punching me in the shoulder, and it's starting to hurt.
	And I realize, holy crap, this guy thinks I'm muscling in on his woman.
	And it was really scary, especially a drummer like Tico Torres.
	He could beat me up in a heartbeat.
	So, it's possible.
	I heard Pierce Morgan say that he did an interview with Jada Pinkett Smith 10 years ago when Will Smith came in just before the interview started and sat in the corner and said, Don't upset my wife.
	You won't like me if you upset my wife.
	That kind of sounds like one of those guys, which is surprising.
	However, As you already alluded to, there's clearly a lot of dysfunction going on in the Smith household and certainly in their relationship.
	And what you discuss there is when it's an open relationship but it's not and she's in essence cheating, he is a cuck.
	He is a cuck, and what I saw possibly as one thing that happened here, he's so desperate to win her back and to make her not hang out with her and have sex with her son's friends, he lost his mind.
	He just lost his mind, and by the time it happened, he didn't even know what he had done.
	So that's the obvious, I think, is possible.
	Then, oh boy, everybody's a deconstructionist.
	Yes!
	It was sponsored by Pfizer, everybody!
	Sponsored by Pfizer!
	A standing ovation to the crews who bring magic to the screen.
	BioNTech and Pfizer are proud sponsors of the Oscars.
	This year, back at the Dolby Theater.
	And, of course, someone dug up an alopecia phase 3 trial from August last year.
	That's it!
	It was a commercial for Pfizer!
	Hmm.
	What do you think, John?
	Seems like a bit far-fetched to do the extra ad for the alopecia medication in Phase 3 trial, which, you know, there are people of alopecia from radiation, from cancer treatment.
	But okay, so everyone's like, oh, this is clearly a Pfizer setup.
	Your thoughts on that?
	That's bullshit.
	Thank you.
	Exactly.
	Now, what we did know, we talked about it on Sunday, before all this came down, we knew that President Zelensky of Ukraine was in negotiations with the Academy to make an appearance.
	And we know this to be true because there's reporting everywhere in the Hollywood press.
	Apparently they were down to negotiating if it would be live or it would be something pre-taped.
	And we had Sean Penn threaten the entire establishment of Hollywood from his perch in Poland, Ukraine.
	Saying, if they don't let him talk, I'm smelting my Oscar!
	Have we heard anyone call for the smelting yet?
	No.
	I think we should.
	We should call him out.
	Where's the smelting?
	We want to watch.
	But this is, this is key.
	And there was almost nothing about Ukraine in the entire speech.
	They could have at least thrown in...
	Think of the children, the unborn children who were bombed in the maternity ward.
	Come on, this was a setup for that.
	It was ready.
	No.
	Absolutely nothing.
	So...
	War is over, maybe?
	You know, was this a news cycle reset?
	Now, the next theory, oh, PR, ratings.
	This is not how ratings work.
	Of course, they got a bump in the plus one, plus two, which is video on demand where people watch it after the actual live event.
	But this is not a ratings booster for an annual show.
	But it did completely, completely reset the news cycle.
	Blew everything off.
	There was no COVID. There was no war in Ukraine.
	There's no inflation.
	All it is is, was it real?
	Was it not real?
	How did this happen?
	So I started looking back in history.
	Has this ever happened before?
	Has the news cycle been interrupted by something on the Academy Awards?
	And yes!
	It turns out, in 1976, there was a streaker who came out just before Elizabeth Taylor came out to present an award.
	Do you remember this?
	Yes, actually, I do.
	And you should note, it was the 70s.
	Believe me.
	Believe me.
	There's so much 70s in today's show.
	This was interesting because if you look at the PR angle...
	1976 was the first year that ABC took over broadcast rights from NBC. And of course they continue to broadcast them today.
	So could that have been a setup to get people more interested in the Academy Awards?
	Well, possible.
	Could it have been a detractor from something?
	Well, let's take a look.
	So I put in the search engine 1976 headlines.
	Newspaper headlines.
	The first one that pops up.
	You ready for this?
	Flu shot scare.
	Eleven deaths reported.
	City program in trouble.
	Nine states call a halt.
	That was kind of interesting to me.
	They might have wanted to, in 1976, detract from people dying.
	We've played this series of clips many times.
	A bogus, a completely bogus virus and a bogus vaccine.
	So, as it comes to the cycle repeating, Pfizer again?
	Maybe.
	Possible.
	Could be.
	It certainly didn't hurt.
	This is what I like.
	So many people benefit.
	But I know exactly what happened here.
	This was a show of power.
	I'm always looking for the Illuminati angle on these shows.
	There's always someone with an all-seeing eye sign or there's someone doing devil's horns or there's some black and white checkers meant to trip and, you know, to trigger people.
	This was an obvious one.
	This is the coven.
	The Hollywood coven showed their might, showed how powerful they are.
	These are women.
	And it's Jada, it's Rihanna, it's to a degree even Meghan Markle.
	They all have cuck husbands, if they have husbands at all.
	Oprah.
	Oprah with a Stedman.
	And this was proof that they rule the roost.
	Will was fine with the joke until Jada wasn't.
	We all saw Will laughing.
	Now, what we did not see, and somewhere there's an ISO, there was some look, something Jada did, and she triggered him.
	She has the keys to his MKUltra lock like nobody else, and this man was acting.
	He was acting, but autonomously.
	He swaggered up like we've seen him walk in the Bad Boys movies.
	This is not Will Smith, the guy.
	That was a Hollywood slap.
	This is not that they rehearsed it.
	This is muscle memory for him.
	A Hollywood slap.
	He connected.
	It was real, but he knew what he was doing.
	That's why he didn't see Chris Rock immediately go to his cheek, like, oh my God, you knocked my teeth out.
	No.
	And then he swaggered back almost immediately.
	She showed who's in charge of Hollywood.
	Tyler Perry and Denzel were there right away.
	Oh man, don't go calm him down because he was triggered.
	He didn't have to leave.
	Security asked him.
	Will Smith just says, nah, I'm not going to go.
	And everybody wins.
	The coven proves that they're the most powerful in Hollywood.
	Jada gets her victim card upped.
	We'll, I guess, we'll get something, and the Academy gets to reposition itself as important, because we're going to investigate, and we'll have a hearing, and we'll distract from more stuff going on in the world.
	Other than that, the Oscars dead segment was a piece of crap.
	I could not believe what they did with that.
	The what segment?
	The dead segment.
	You couldn't read the names.
	Now, you know, I said the exact same thing last year, if you recall.
	The dead segment was the same thing.
	You could not read the names of the dead half the time.
	Then they'd zoom in, then they'd zoom out and show the whole stage and the whole audience, and there was a dead guy up to, you know, who it was.
	It was terrible.
	I don't understand why they didn't fix it from last time.
	It was completely worthless.
	And then they had the tributes.
	What was the point of that?
	They never did that before.
	Like, had Bill Murray just walk in for Ivan Reitman?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it was weird.
	And for those of you who emailed, no, that was not Ghislaine Maxwell at the Oscars.
	That was very funny.
	I didn't see that.
	Diane Warren was at the Oscars.
	And if you look at Diane Warren, yeah, I can see where you think, oh, but people emailing me, she was there, man!
	Look at her!
	Diane Warren is a hit songwriter.
	So I have two ancillary clips about the Oscars.
	I think we've done enough of this other thing.
	Yeah, I think we're done.
	And first of all, they have this red carpet event.
	They play this for hours.
	It's terrible.
	But I had to record this one bit because they're trying to promote the Oscars.
	They have these Oscar parties and so they're sending camera crews out to these various places.
	And you end up with segments.
	I don't know how people can watch this.
	This is the Oscars, I think, in Atlanta.
	This is the Oscars, I don't know what that word is.
	Dimwits in Atlanta?
	Dimwits.
	Dimwits in Atlanta.
	And I want you to listen to this carefully because you're going to hear the effect of Hollywood on people's vocal intonations.
	And you're going to have someone that sounds very familiar, but it turns out that it's just some dimwit in Atlanta.
	Listen.
	All right, we are hopping around the country.
	We're checking in on you guys and how you're celebrating.
	So let's now go to Atlanta, Georgia, where I think I've got Natalie Burch.
	Hey, Natalie.
	Hi, how are you?
	Good, happy Oscar ladies, Oscars ladies.
	Now, I've got to get, let's get down to it.
	All three of you look fantastic.
	How are we celebrating today?
	How are you guys celebrating being movie fans?
	Oh my gosh.
	Well, we have a bunch of friends coming over.
	And we're doing some movie-themed drinks.
	Everyone's bringing different drinks.
	And then we're also casting ballads before.
	So, yeah.
	Yeah.
	Well, if that's all you hear on television, you're going to mimic it automatically.
	Yeah.
	That's what they're doing.
	They're mimicking.
	I love that.
	I watch E's Red Carpet.
	Of course.
	I love that.
	Now, something did crop up, which I have to play, because he's one of our producers and a friend of the show.
	You mean pal of the pod?
	Yeah, he's a pal of the pod.
	Brunetti was a featured character at the 2017 Oscars, and they caught him after the...
	Slapping somebody?
	What?
	They caught him slapping somebody?
	No.
	He's not MKUltra.
	So Brunetti is, they're asking him some questions because I guess his name was in the bin for maybe producing the Oscars in the future.
	Oh, I didn't know.
	And so somebody asked him these questions and you can see that he fits right into the No Agenda group by his answers to these particular questions.
	Now, he is going to be co-producing the Oscars.
	Yes.
	That is a job that you've said would interest you as well.
	Yeah, they would never have me.
	Come on.
	You're a little more unpredictable, I would say, but what would you honestly like to see him do?
	What would be the three things that would make this Oscars the best yet?
	Get rid of the dance numbers and replace it with strippers.
	And I always thought it was a problem that you have to, you know, it's at the end of the night are the awards that everybody's waiting for.
	Best actress, best actor, best picture, best director.
	All of those are at the end of the night.
	And then what happens is they get played off the stage and they don't get a chance to say anything.
	And, you know, nothing against everybody else, but that's really what people are tuning in for.
	So that's two.
	How many did you want?
	I want a third.
	Strippers.
	Strippers again.
	Extra second load of strippers.
	Thank you for coming.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, this is exactly why we have no comp tickets to the Academy Awards.
	Because of his damn no-agenda attitude, we're not going.
	Strippers.
	Strippers.
	So, needless to say, he wasn't welcome.
	He wasn't invited back.
	No.
	No, I can imagine.
	I can imagine that.
	I think we should dive into what is leading up to an obvious 25th Amendment for the President of the United States.
	He's being hit from all sides.
	And I think this is beautiful to watch because it's quite obvious.
	They're making him look stupid.
	And I have, here's one very, very obvious example.
	This is a staffer, you know, Psaki is still out, I think.
	So you have other people filling in answering questions.
	And here's someone from the press office talking about the president's impressions while watching the hearings for the potential Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.
	The president watched portions of Judge Jackson's hearing yesterday and today and is proud of the way she is showcasing her extraordinary qualifications, her experience and her even-handedness.
	Her dedication to following the facts, the law and our Constitution as an independent judge is clear.
	He was also moved by the grace and dignity she has shown, the deference to senators and the level of detail she is offering, reinforcing the value of her experience, her intellect and the strength of her character.
	Sounds pretty presidential.
	Let's just double-check with the president and ask him what he thought while watching the hearings.
	And did you get any chance to watch much of the Judiciary Committee hearings?
	I didn't see any of it, unfortunately.
	No, I didn't see any of it.
	Dude, he's so fried.
	And now we have the solution.
	Let America figure it out for themselves.
	Let America bring this to the forefront.
	Let America call for this poor man to be put out to pasture.
	But first we have to have a teaching moment.
	Bruce Willis is stepping away from acting after being diagnosed with aphasia.
	The 67-year-old's family shared the news on Instagram Wednesday, writing in part that he had been experiencing some health issues before his recent diagnosis, which is, quote, impacting his cognitive abilities.
	They say with much consideration, Willis is now stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him.
	The statement concluded, quote, As Bruce always says, live it up, and together we plan to do just that.
	It was signed by the actor's five daughters, who range in age from 7 to 33 years old, plus his wife Emma and ex-wife Demi Moore.
	Willis is known for a career in Hollywood spanning several decades.
	With roles in iconic films like Die Hard, Armageddon, Pulp Fiction, The Fifth Element, The Sixth Sense, Twelve Monkeys, and Sin City.
	Over his career, Willis has received numerous accolades including a Golden Globe and two Emmy Awards.
	He also has several projects lined up for a 2022 release.
	Okay, several projects.
	That's odd at the end there.
	But notice the family announces this.
	It's almost like he's on his deathbed.
	So he clearly can't tell anybody.
	It's gone too far.
	And aphasia, now that we learn this interesting disease, is a condition that affects your ability to communicate.
	It can affect your speech as well as the way you write and understand both spoken and written language.
	Aphasia typically occurs suddenly after a stroke or a head injury, but it can also come on gradually from a slow-growing brain tumor or a disease that causes progressive permanent damage.
	This was beautifully timed.
	Tina doesn't like that I say this is why it happened.
	She thinks, oh man, that's just really sad for Bruce.
	Yeah, we're learning about aphasia, and I think they're going to pull this on Biden.
	And everyone will feel bad and, oh yes, it's aphasia.
	He's a victim.
	And then, any comments on this?
	Yeah, I think to say that Biden has aphasia after Bruce Willis has aphasia is a bit, you know, they can do better than that.
	It's like too coincidental.
	It's like, oh, Bruce Willis has aphasia.
	Let's all deal with aphasia.
	By the way, there's a number of very famous artists that has a form of aphasia, which is the more interesting one.
	Animals get this sometimes, too, where if you see somebody, you can't recognize them the second time you see them.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah, this artist, Chuck Close, is a very famous artist.
	An artist who has aphasia.
	And so if he looks at you and he's talking to you and you say who you are, he knows who you are.
	But if you even turn your head a little bit after he looks away, he won't see the same person.
	And I would think that's kind of disconcerting just to be that way, but it's the way he is.
	And that kind of thing is interesting.
	But aphasia to have two people, I think they've been pushing the dementia thing.
	So hard that I don't know how you're going to switch it over to aphasia.
	Okay.
	Well, I'm just entering this in the Red Book because I see this clear as day.
	Because of this Bruce Willis announcement.
	I know.
	You think it's coincidence.
	No, they haven't done it, so I can't say it's a coincidence.
	But if they did it, I would say that's an unlikely coincidence.
	And I think most coincidences are not unlikely.
	But that Bruce Willis would have aphasia, and then suddenly, out of the blue, Biden has it.
	I don't think so.
	No, no.
	My theory, my thesis is, people hear this, and they're going to start saying, hey, wait a minute, maybe Joe has aphasia.
	It'll be a slow roll.
	I think the door's been closed on that, because I think everyone already thinks that Biden is...
	I've never even heard of aphasia.
	Well, I have.
	I know, but you're not typical.
	But I'm just saying that I think everyone's already assumed that he either has Alzheimer's or just old-fashioned dementia, and I don't think they're going to be able to switch it.
	It's interesting.
	Man, if we had a meeting and we had this option...
	I'd be like, you're crazy.
	Let's throw Bruce out there.
	Let's prop it up.
	And then we'll have people discover.
	And we'll have a couple of clues.
	We'll put a few weird things in the teleprompter.
	I know what you're doing.
	Yeah.
	But I'm not...
	You're not buying it?
	I didn't say that.
	Oh, it came so close.
	Now, I've also thought about what that means because Camel becoming president.
	But I think if we look at the actual plot line for the television series Veep...
	It would be perfect because she would never be the first woman elected president.
	And if you...
	I don't know if you watched all of Veep.
	I didn't watch much of it, actually.
	I found it to be a tedious...
	Oh, no, it got very tedious.
	Yeah, it got tedious in the last season.
	But I'm familiar with the plot line that you're discussing.
	Well, if you follow this whole plot line through with the president resigning, she becomes president temporarily, but also has to immediately start running for election.
	And then there's a switcheroo in the Senate of the VP candidate.
	I mean, it's just something that could happen.
	I don't know.
	Why not?
	Why not?
	Anything could happen.
	Well, I think it's closer than...
	I mean, what else could happen?
	Because nobody's going to re-elect Kamala Harris as president.
	No, no, no.
	But I'm just saying it would be okay for her to be president...
	Because Hillary could probably stomach her not being the first, you know, her being the first female president but not elected.
	I think you're dead right.
	I think it's true.
	It's because she's never been elected president.
	In fact, from what I can tell, she's never been elected to anything.
	Except where she was shooed into the corrupt state of California.
	Right.
	Yeah.
	So here's the more likely scenario, as what we have been talking about for a long time is now mainstream news, and we have the pixie lady to fill us in.
	Multiple sources tell CBS News that the federal investigation into Hunter Biden's business practices is broader than previously known.
	The probe is exploring whether the younger Biden and his associates violated tax, money laundering and foreign lobbying laws.
	Business records reviewed by CBS News and documents released by Republicans in Congress indicate multiple financial transactions involving Hunter Biden, his firm and a Chinese energy company called CEFC.
	Republicans allege that the company is an arm of the Chinese government.
	In 2017, the year after Joe Biden left the vice presidency, a one million dollar retainer was signed with the Chinese energy company for Hunter Biden's services as a lawyer.
	His client, a CEFC official, Patrick Ho, was later convicted of international bribery and money laundering charges for unrelated work in Africa.
	This week on the Senate floor, Republican Chuck Grassley presented financial records that he said showed six-figure payments from the Chinese energy company to Hunter Biden's firm.
	Hunter Biden and James Biden served as the perfect vehicle by which the communist Chinese government could gain inroads here in the United States to Allegations about Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings reached a fever pitch during the 2020 campaign.
	Hunter was being paid for access to his vice president father.
	Earlier this month, White House spokesperson Jen Psaki was asked about the current investigation.
	I appointed the Department of Justice and Hunter Biden's representatives.
	I'm a spokesperson for the United States.
	He doesn't work for the United States.
	An attorney for Hunter Biden did not respond to CBS News.
	Last year, he told correspondent Anthony Mason the president did not financially benefit.
	Have you ever given your father money from any of your business ventures?
	No.
	Nothing?
	Nothing.
	Directly or indirectly?
	Directly or indirectly.
	So this was CBS, and there was a clue in there that told me this is a takedown.
	Did you catch it?
	Why would they use a clip from Trump implicating Hunter Biden in their report unless they want to take the man down?
	Well, I don't see...
	I mean, the question remains, why would they use a clip of Trump?
	Yeah.
	For any reason, but I don't make the connection between using a trip of...
	I keep saying trip of clump.
	A trip of clump?
	A clip of Trump.
	Why would you think that that had to do with anything other than just color?
	Well, yes, of course.
	It's color.
	That's my whole point.
	If they were trying to defend the man like they typically would do...
	Well, wait, wait.
	Using a trip of...
	I'll say it again.
	I'm not going to get over this.
	It's show title now.
	Trip of clump.
	Just say it.
	Trip of clump.
	Why would you use a clip of Trump when it tends to trigger people into the other direction?
	So Trump is a defense.
	Okay, I'll take that as a possibility.
	Not how I read it.
	And that's a good point.
	It's a good point.
	Let's listen to ABC's version.
	Tonight reports that the Justice Department's investigation into the tax affairs of President Biden's son, Hunter, is intensifying.
	Sources telling ABC News that in recent weeks, a grand jury in Wilmington has heard from a parade of witnesses about payments Hunter Biden received while on the board of the Ukrainian gas company, Burisma, and also about how he paid his taxes in recent years.
	Biden served on the Burisma board when his father was vice president, something he's admitted was a mistake.
	Did I make a mistake?
	Well, maybe in the grand scheme of things, yeah.
	But did I make a mistake based upon some unethical lapse?
	Absolutely not.
	Federal prosecutors are also looking into how Hunter Biden reported money from business deals in China.
	This hearing will come to order.
	In his confirmation hearing, Attorney General Merrick Garland vowing to be independent.
	The president made abundantly clear in every public statement before and after my nomination that decisions about investigations and prosecutions will be left to the Justice Department.
	This investigation, which has been underway since 2018, appears far from over.
	Sources familiar with the case say no final decision has been made about whether or not to bring charges.
	All right, Pierre, thank you.
	What I find so interesting is that all these details that are coming out now, we knew every single one of them in August, September of last year, no, before the election.
	Yes, we knew all before the election, months before the election.
	We knew about Patrick Ho being the spy guy, being arrested, Hunter calling, saying, I got the New York Times on my back.
	All of this stuff.
	All of it.
	So it's coming out now.
	It's all on the show.
	Yeah, but is it coming out now because, oh, now they've just had time to vet it?
	Come on.
	A bunch of podcasters knew this a year and a half ago.
	This is intentional.
	This is...
	And look at...
	Do you see Grassley with his presentation with Ron Johnson?
	It's amazing what those guys are presenting.
	I mean, it's all stuff we know, but they do have some extra documents and they got the big blow-up poster boards.
	Yeah, the big posters.
	It's fantastic.
	And it gets better.
	It gets better.
	Remember this report.
	The House Intelligence Committee wrapped up its public impeachment hearings on Capitol Hill, but another story continues to unfold surrounding the son of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
	While the Ukraine scandal revealed the Biden family's ties to the country, the less-told story surrounding Paul Pelosi Jr.
	is still unraveling on the sidelines following revelations that he was a board member of the Ukraine oil company Vizcoil, an executive for NRG Lab.
	Well, America's Rachel Asen has caught up with journalist Patrick Cowley, who's been covering the story of the House Speaker's son.
	Take a look.
	I wanted to follow up with you because you've been covering this Paul Pelosi Jr.
	story.
	We now know that two major Democrats, Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden, have sons with business connections in Ukraine.
	And we just went through that public impeachment hearing centered around that Ukraine forum.
	Okay, so we don't have to listen to the whole report, but you'll recall he was promoting the World Sports Alliance, and in that report they have a clip of him, of Pelosi Jr., talking about how great it is to help Ukraine.
	And then yesterday we learned that Aza St.
	Clair, the close associate of Paul Pelosi Jr., has been convicted of wire fraud for his role in running a scam called the World Sports Alliance.
	Which Paul Pelosi Jr.
	represented in the country of Ukraine.
	St.
	Clair now faces 20 years in prison when he goes up for sentencing in July, giving him plenty of time to flip on his associates.
	That's great.
	Take down Hunter.
	Well, you'd expect that from Hunter at this point.
	Don't you think?
	They're not going to kill Hunter.
	They're not going to kill anybody.
	They're going to try and get away with it.
	But this does bring up a nice short clip about what's really going on in certainly the U.S. government, but I'm sure it's the same everywhere.
	This is the new congressman, Madison Cawthorn.
	He's the young millennial handsome guy in the wheelchair.
	So he's out doing the rounds.
	I think it was on Tucker talking about how he saw people do cocaine and talking about orgies in D.C. But he went on a podcast, of course, and he brought this up, which is just as damning.
	And so we all kind of monitor that just to see what's going on.
	I remember he's a freshman.
	He's a new guy.
	So he's learning the ropes of Washington, D.C. and politics.
	And so we all kind of monitor that just to see what's going on.
	And I noticed a lot of people in the majority party were buying stocks that had to do with some kind of battery, some kind of technology for electric vehicles.
	And then wouldn't you know it, about a month or two later, it was then announced, rag, 700,000 electric vehicles to the...
	To the fleet, and then all those stock prices just jump, whether you're investing in lithium mines, whether you're investing in the people who actually manufacture batteries, whether you're investing directly into companies that make electric cars.
	And so that's the way people can make money is through this kind of version of insider trading that people can do.
	But we are limited on our ability to have any kind of earned income.
	You can have passive income, but you can't have any earned income.
	And so you can't sit on a board and get a salary for it or anything like that.
	But what you can do Is you can have your spouse put as chairman of this company.
	You can have your spouse saying that he or she is going to be a consultant to this firm.
	And next thing you know, they're getting a paycheck for really not doing anything.
	Could your son?
	Your son?
	Oh, yeah.
	Really?
	Could your son do that?
	Yeah.
	That's cute.
	And so amidst all these problems, Trump, the master of memes, does this.
	It's time to check the pulse, and we begin with former President Trump's rare achievement on the golf course.
	Trump is now confirming that he hit a hole-in-one.
	One of Trump's golfing partners recently posted an image writing, Trump just made a hole-in-one.
	Some had doubts, so Trump put the rumors to rest.
	I'm telling you, this guy does this shit on purpose.
	He might not have hit a hole-in-one.
	He's like, well, everybody's down.
	I'm going to show them a winner with my hole-in-one.
	That's nice.
	He said it is 100% true about the hole-in-one, and he shared video of himself retrieving the ball.
	Trump wouldn't say who won the match because, quote, then you will say I was bragging.
	To those wondering, he apparently used a 5-iron on a 185-yard R3. The guy has no shame.
	He's like, I know what I'll do.
	She's a 5-iron.
	Is that a 5-iron?
	She'll be able to get the hole-in-one with a 7.
	Anyway.
	Why is the 5-iron seems for 180 yards?
	Seems okay.
	Is it too much?
	That's a...
	I think you could drive a 5-iron way too far.
	You've got to get loft to get a hole-in-one on a par 3.
	I'm guessing it.
	I'd like to find out now, but I used to be able to get about 170 yards with a 9.
	So I don't know if you can't get...
	He's Trump, man.
	You want to get it up in the air for the hole-in-one.
	Man, he's Trump.
	What are you questioning?
	And he's also a big guy.
	He can probably drive a 5-iron about, I would think, 200-plus yards.
	Well, that's it.
	180 with a 5-iron.
	That's what he did.
	Okay.
	It's bullshit.
	Again, not buying it.
	You're not buying anything.
	Can I sell you anything today?
	He golfs enough.
	I'm sure he's had more than one hole in one.
	I want to sell you something that you'll buy best price.
	But I'll tell you this.
	You're right.
	He's the master of distraction.
	That was a beautiful thing.
	100% true.
	And they have a picture of him pulling the ball out of the hole.
	Of course.
	Give me a break.
	Of course.
	I can do that.
	According to the Dutch press, shops are reopening in Kiev.
	It's all Kiev.
	Yeah, well, Kiev, once in a while someone does a report from Kiev and there's nothing going on there.
	No.
	Seems pretty tame.
	I haven't seen one thing, anything even hit.
	I always, from the beginning of this thing, I said that the Russians aren't going to really do much to Kiev because it's their home city.
	That's where the Russian state was born in Kiev.
	Shall we check in with some of the M5M and see what they're reporting on the war?
	Since, you know, they still do some reporting, despite the slap leading the headlines.
	Tonight, the president...
	I want to mention that, you know, I don't have this clip, but the Sky News claims that the whole slap incident was to distract from Biden.
	Okay.
	Welcome to the party, Sky News.
	Tonight, the president and his top national security advisors are skeptical that a Russian pledge to scale back could mean that the war in Ukraine could be a step closer to being over.
	Oh, no.
	But there was a positive development today as negotiators from Russia and Ukraine met in Turkey for a day of peace talks aimed at ending Russia's deadly invasion.
	In an address tonight, Zelensky said the talks were positive, but that that doesn't drown out the sound of Russian attacks.
	The Russian negotiator raised the possibility of a meeting between President Zelensky and Putin that could occur after a draft agreement was ready.
	And there's this new development tonight in the effort to target Russian oligarchs.
	We're learning tonight that the British seized their first superyacht, a $50 million ship.
	So we've got a lot of news to get to tonight.
	What rights do they have?
	Well, I'll stop this here.
	What right do they have is kind of irrelevant.
	They're grabbing these ships.
	Do you remember that Lloyd's of London said they're no longer going to certify ships?
	Russian ship so they can't get insurance.
	We had that clip.
	That was there.
	Remember that?
	Yeah.
	Well, here comes this little news article.
	Lloyds of London Chief Executive John Neal is in hospital following a bike accident.
	Oh, no.
	Oh no!
	Okay, don't say.
	I mean, how obvious is this?
	You get bike accident.
	...in Kyiv.
	Good evening, Deborah.
	Good evening.
	The Pentagon confirms there has been some movement by a small number of Russian forces pulling back from Kyiv, but it's calling this a repositioning, not a retreat, and the indiscriminate shelling of cities to the south and east continues.
	This may be the first real sign of progress, but it certainly falls short of a ceasefire so desperately needed.
	Russian negotiator Vladimir Medinsky said Ukraine's proposal to remain neutral by not joining any military alliance would be put to President Putin.
	But it's early days, and there's skepticism in the U.S. We'll see if they follow through on what they're suggesting.
	Yeah, this is over.
	This is over.
	I agree with you.
	Let's listen to NPR. My clips on the war are not about the war, but about the ancillaries, including the negotiations and what's going on in Germany.
	But let's listen to Ukraine negotiations, one, on NPR. We really hope that President Putin will commit seriously to
	the peace talks underway.
	But we are focused.
	On what Russian forces do, not what Russia says.
	The U.S. is right to be skeptical, says William Taylor, a former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine.
	And we just really need to take our cue and our lead from the Ukrainians.
	The Ukrainians have put forward some ideas in talks with the Russians.
	One is a referendum on neutrality for Ukraine to give up its NATO ambitions, as Russia has long demanded.
	But for that, Ukraine wants security guarantees, and Taylor, speaking via Skype, says Washington needs to consider that.
	If they're willing to go to an Austria-like neutrality, a member of the EU, not a member of NATO, giving up on those security guarantees that come with collective defense, like NATO, then they would like to have...
	More than they got in the Budapest memorandum.
	That was the 1994 agreement signed by Russia, the U.S., and U.K. offering Ukraine security assurances for giving up Soviet-era nuclear weapons.
	This time, Ukraine will be seeking more concrete security guarantees from various countries.
	The British ambassador to the U.N., Barbara Woodward, says her country is open to that.
	And what we want to do is help in any way we can to end the war, to secure the removal of the Russian troops and invasion, and we'd be happy to play a role in that if we were asked by the Ukrainian government yes.
	There's a lot of talk, I think maybe in the second clip here might even have it in there, about part of the deal, and this is actually quite funny, is that the Ukraine will join the EU, but stay out of NATO. Uh-huh.
	And the Donbass may go to Russia or not, but Crimea is out of the conversation.
	And there is something to me...
	What do you mean?
	Crimea just stays status quo, stays Russian.
	Yeah, it's Russian.
	This is all about Donbass.
	They want the Donbass.
	They blew up the dam for the river.
	I think that's what they want.
	Well, they blew up the dam, I think it was over in Marosupul or whatever that place is, where that area is.
	Yeah, but it's a little west from south.
	Besides the point, my point is that having Ukraine, I mean, suckering, we talked about this when we first talked about why you don't want Ukraine in the EU. Because of the nature of the state and the corrupt nature of Ukraine and the hookers and all the rest of it.
	Here's the thing.
	Exactly.
	If you have a good thing going, if your kids can make millions of dollars, if you've got weapons smuggling through Ukraine to Africa, you've got cyber operations, you've got money laundering, you've got human trafficking...
	Why bring in any official people of any organization?
	That's stupid.
	Well, there's that.
	That's another good point.
	But the idea of getting Ukraine...
	The Russians actually orchestrating Ukraine going into the EU... To screw up the EU. It's hilarious.
	It's a poison pill.
	It's a poison pill.
	Exactly.
	It's like, yeah...
	And because the EU is so into this whole war more than even we are, because other ones have called the shots on the sanctions, they would have to say yes.
	I'm telling you, it's just hilarious.
	I think you're right about that.
	And it's being spurred, of course, from Putin's perspective, fantastic.
	Let them deal with all that bullcrap.
	And of course, it's the same people.
	The same corrupt people in the EU, the US, the United Nations.
	Yeah, but it's a different type of corruption.
	Some of them are the same people, but when you meld those two groups and try to bring EU parliamentary structure to Ukraine, it's going to be hilarious.
	It's going to be totally hilarious.
	If they think they had trouble with Poland and Hungary, they have no idea.
	We cannot have an exit strategy yet.
	We have to see this to its conclusion.
	And I think it's going that way.
	Let's play part two of the negotiations.
	What may be harder for negotiators to resolve are Russia's territorial demands, says Samuel Cherup of the Rand Corporation.
	Russia is insisting that Ukraine recognize its control over Crimea and the independence of regions run by Russian proxies in the Donbass.
	No Ukrainian government, I think, would ever be able to do that and survive.
	And this government shows no indication of being willing to do so.
	And frankly, Russia hasn't even won the territorial control piece on the battlefield yet.
	Charup was speaking at an online event organized by the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft.
	A think tank that has been promoting peace negotiations.
	Former ambassador to Russia Thomas Pickering told the group that even though the U.S. is not a part of these peace talks, it does have an interest in seeing a negotiated settlement soon.
	The U.S. has no interest in a continued war, particularly given the fact that a continued war keeps open the door for the potential down the road for nuclear use.
	But many in Washington want to do more to punish Vladimir Putin and strengthen Ukraine's hand in these ongoing negotiations.
	That means more military aid and more sanctions, says Taylor of the US Institute of Peace.
	The sanctions have been broader and more sustained, harsher, more durable than anybody expected, I think, or at least probably than Putin expected.
	And we play a big role in maintaining that.
	Russia wants sanctions relief as part of a negotiated deal.
	Taylor says that should only happen if Ukraine agrees.
	It's a great time to be a podcaster.
	The Institute of Peace that kills me.
	The Institute of Peace.
	You know, I picked up a couple of kind of backgrounders that are kind of ancillary clips from Donald McGregor, or Doug McGregor, the colonel.
	Oh, he's still allowed to talk, huh?
	Yeah, but it was a really obscure podcast from Dave Smith.
	And I tried to get a hold of McGregor, and Dave Smith's podcast is nothing like ours, and they snubbed me.
	And I find it offensive, and I think that McGregor is an asshole.
	Wow.
	Was it his people or McGregor himself?
	It was his people.
	Did someone say, you're no good?
	His people.
	What did his people say that pissed you off?
	They said, he's not available.
	Even though he was on an obscure podcast somewhere else.
	Yeah.
	So he's available, but he wasn't available to us.
	But I still think he's good.
	I'm not going to deny his commentary because it's different enough that it's always good.
	So here's his musings.
	These are both good.
	These are two medium-sized clips.
	But listen to this because I think it really nails a couple of points home.
	So I went through the business in Bosnia, then subsequently in Kosovo.
	And then, of course, in 2001, we had the Afghan business and I was dragged in early about Iraq.
	And it became clear to me that contrary to the original plan, we wanted to stay in Iraq, at least in perpetuity as far as I could sell, which made no sense to me at all.
	Why would you stay there?
	You only wanted to change out the government.
	And then again, we went through this nonsense that we're going to democratize the place and make Iraq the first Israel-friendly Arab democracy in the world.
	And the chances of those things happening were, you know, pretty low.
	So I was very disenchanted.
	And then when I saw Stay There...
	It became clear to me it was going to be a catastrophe, and I said, the best that I can do is tell people this is a very dumb idea.
	But as you know, Americans are all too quick to become emotionally involved in a cause they know nothing about, and they join the sort of proverbial Bombs Away Club.
	They tend to think that if we're bombing someone somewhere, that our greatness is being expressed to the world.
	You know, both assumptions are wrong.
	And here we sit, 20 years later, and what have we got for our investment?
	As Donald Trump said, whether you like him or not, what do we get for it?
	How did we benefit?
	And the answer, of course, was no.
	I just want to mention that it's a lot of our listeners.
	Yes.
	Who have bailed on our show because of our deconstruction of reality.
	I just, a pet peeve.
	Okay.
	Let me just say, People will come back.
	They do come back when they see the obvious.
	But it usually takes nine months to a year before what we were saying turns out to be the truth or at least part of something that was obvious to us and triggering to others.
	And it's okay.
	You know, I was putting together yesterday Since we're taking two shows off.
	Best of, end of show mixes, COVID edition.
	It's unbelievable how soon we were calling bullcrap.
	I have to shorten it because it's three hours and 45 minutes.
	I could have done eight hours.
	We have so much material, particularly from Rolando Gonzalez and Tom Starkweather, where they do kind of the thematic.
	So wait, let me get this straight.
	You've got enough songs in the show mixes just about COVID alone?
	Only about COVID. To chew up over three hours?
	I have enough for eight hours.
	Of COVID? Only COVID end of show mixes.
	Only.
	Because my show, which would be the show that's running around my birthday, which is Thursday.
	When's your birthday, Sean?
	Some are coming up.
	My birthday's the 5th.
	Okay.
	So we're taking off the what?
	We're taking off this coming Sunday and the Thursday after that.
	Oh, okay.
	Yeah.
	So with a Sunday show, which I'm still finishing.
	We can run the COVID thing first on Sunday show if you need more time.
	No, I think it would be...
	Yeah, I think so.
	But it's just about COVID. The early year of COVID. No, no.
	It starts...
	The first end of show mix we had about COVID was January 30th, 2020.
	And I did them in chronological order.
	And you hear the progression of not just the bull crap, but our understanding.
	You remember stuff.
	Oh, crap, yeah.
	And there's Cuomo.
	We forgot all about Cuomo.
	And then when we're all...
	Masks off, masks on, three masks.
	And near the end...
	The parody songs are so incredibly good.
	It is a mind-blowing piece of work.
	You will remember the past two years.
	It will all come flooding back to you, and you'll just be smiling because, like, holy crap, we knew it all along.
	We knew it all along.
	And it's in the art.
	It's a beautiful piece.
	It's a historical document.
	It should go into the Congressional Library.
	It should go into...
	It should.
	Talk about promoting your own bit.
	That's good.
	Hey!
	Gonna try to overshadow my Sunday thing, which probably won't top it because it doesn't have art in it.
	Well, tell us about yours.
	This is not a competition.
	Mine is just the COVID clips.
	It's what they were being told, how you got COVID, where it came from, why you're flattening the curve, flattening the curve.
	It'll be over in three weeks and all that stuff.
	And also in chronological order.
	Yes, absolutely.
	Yeah, it's perfect.
	Well, there's two things about chronological order when you're doing this sort of show.
	And the main thing is, it's easier.
	Oh, it's totally easier, but in this case, it tells a story in a fantastic way.
	Yeah.
	Well, I did the same thing when I did the environmental global warming show.
	It was pretty much in chronological order.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	So let's play part two of McGregor.
	We're going through something similar right now with Ukraine and Eastern Europe, and we've involved ourselves in something we could have prevented very easily by simply steering Ukraine away from confrontation with Russia.
	Instead, we did the opposite.
	We steered this entire country, this nation of people, into a war with Russia.
	We should have been interested in avoiding that, but we weren't.
	And now we haven't shown much interest in bringing it to an end.
	We seem to want to prolong it, although I'm not sure that's true for President Biden, but certainly for the rest of his administration and people on the Hill, that seems to be the case.
	Again, I don't see any benefit to this for the Ukrainians.
	I don't see anyone in Europe benefiting from it.
	I don't think we benefit from it.
	So he makes the point you made earlier.
	Yeah.
	Which is Biden may not be on board with all this.
	No!
	This is a great quagmire.
	It's really good.
	We got a boots-on-the-ground report from one of our producers in Germany, which I'd like to share.
	And that may fit into some clips you have, just looking at your list.
	This is from Roland.
	He says some insights from Germany from afar.
	First of all, renting your washing machine has been a thing here for several years now.
	There you go.
	Washing machines are one of the cheapest appliances considering how rugged and how well they work and what they do to buy.
	Why would you rent one?
	Because you'll be happy if you don't own anything.
	Roland continues, never mind the housing shortage we've had in Germany since 2014-2015 when 1 to 2 million people entered Germany, a country of 80 million, but don't mention the reasons for that shortage.
	He's talking about the migrants that came in the past decade, but really 2014-2015.
	So he continues, quite a few Ukrainians are entering Germany and they're from Africa and Asia.
	I have seen Indians saying they would be from Ukraine.
	Many don't speak Ukrainian but happen to have Ukrainian passports, something that no doubt can be received easier than ever in the fog of war.
	So these Ukrainians are said to be college students or highly specialized workers, per the media, but without being able to speak the language of their country?
	Strange.
	Many don't speak English too well either, a lingua franca that would be used at college.
	Germany's foreign minister is expecting 8 million refugees coming to the UK from Ukraine.
	It's in the show notes.
	And guess where many might go right away?
	Well, of course, where you get the best benefits, a.k.a.
	Germany!
	The Netherlands, too.
	The German Minister of the Interior has stated that all Ukrainians are welcome.
	They aren't even asked to properly identify themselves.
	They get support right away.
	Ride the bus and train for free.
	Get free health care.
	And if they're in a car accident, the German insurance companies will pay for it all, as it cannot be expected for them to pay for it, having escaped the war zone.
	The refugees are slightly...
	Wary of getting vaccinated, which the German Minister of Health is taking as a chance to make them a vaccination offer.
	But most don't take them up on it.
	This will be interesting once the mandatory vaccine laws have been passed that are being debated with lots of emotion and little facts in Parliament right now.
	They run the full hospitals unvaccinated are holding as hostile narrative again.
	Oh, and the stores have severe flour and salad cooking shortages.
	Many stores don't allow you to buy more than two bottles of salad oil.
	The weird thing is that lots of, say, olive oil comes from Spain, Greece, and, of course, Italy.
	It's a mess.
	Real victims on all sides.
	But that's the update from Germany.
	By the way, great update.
	It's a very good report.
	We need to get that from him at least once every couple weeks.
	Now, that is an interesting little irony there, which is that the olive oil does come from...
	It's all local.
	I know.
	Why is there a shortage?
	What's going on?
	Mm-hmm.
	Mm-hmm.
	So you had some Germany clips?
	Yeah, let's do some effects of Germany or the fallout, this Ukrainian fallout on Germany is kind of interesting, especially on their economy.
	This is from NPR. Russia's war with Ukraine and the international sanctions that followed have had massive consequences for the global economy.
	Case in point, Germany.
	The country relies on Russia for around half its natural gas.
	And German companies do billions of dollars worth of business with both Russia and Ukraine.
	As NPR's Rob Schmitz reports, the pain is already being felt on the ground.
	At an iron foundry outside Dusseldorf, a crane holding a 30-ton bucket gently tips it on its side, releasing a torrent of bright yellow molten iron.
	Waves of heat rise from the bubbling, splattering liquid as it shoots out sparks of magnesium over workers dressed head to toe in silver heat-shielded uniforms.
	Below them, the glowing magma fills a mold for what will become an iron tile press machine, says Georg Geier, managing director of Zimplekamp, the company that runs his foundry.
	It's like 1300 degrees Celsius.
	That's what makes our business so energy intensive.
	It takes 50 gigawatts of electricity per year to keep Simpelkamp's induction furnaces running.
	Equivalent to the electricity needed to power a town of 20,000 people.
	Midsized companies like Sieppelkamp, known as Mittelstand companies in German, make up the backbone of Germany's economy, employing 60% of the country's workers.
	And they're highly susceptible to the skyrocketing price of energy caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
	For years, the price Sieppelkamp paid for one megawatt hour...
	I love how they say, because of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, energy prices have gone up.
	It just blew right by that lie.
	And German make up the backbone of Germany's economy, employing 60% of the country's workers.
	And they're highly susceptible to the skyrocketing price of energy caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
	For years.
	Yeah, hold on.
	Nice.
	It's only Russia.
	Putin!
	Yeah, it was the sanctions that caused this.
	And inflation is part of it.
	I mean, it's a lot of things.
	Inflation caused a bit, yes, there's no doubt about it, especially here in the United States.
	But to just ignore it, just to blame it on Putin.
	Yeah, it's Putin's fault.
	It's NPR for you.
	It was NPR. 60% of the country's workers.
	And they're highly susceptible to the skyrocketing price of energy caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
	For years, the price Siebelkamp paid for one megawatt hour was around 40 euros.
	Beginning of last week, it was nearly 300 euros.
	So that means nearly 10 times of what we saw for years and years before.
	Russia's war in Ukraine and Europe's retaliatory sanctions have highlighted Germany's reliance on Russia.
	Germany is very dependent on Russian energy.
	Claudia Kempfert is an energy economist at the German Institute of Economic Research.
	It's not only gas, over 50% of our natural gas we are importing from Russia, but also coal.
	Well, 50% of coal and oil is 36%.
	Yeah, so let's shut them off.
	We don't want your gas, man.
	We want to pay 300 instead of 40.
	What's wrong with this?
	This is harakiri.
	This is suicide.
	In the Netherlands, and we'll come back to this, in the northern part, Groningen, this is where Mark Void Zero lives.
	I'll have to ask him about it.
	Yeah.
	Groningen, the Netherlands, has the local government, the council, and the mayor, has struck a deal with the waterbedrijf Groningen, which is the waterworks up there.
	That anyone, in order to save, conserve energy, because of course the Netherlands is also using horrible, dirty-ass Russian gas, and God knows what else is horrible, it's Russian.
	We can't have that.
	So when you take a shower, after 10 minutes they will automatically lower your pressure.
	They will just drop the pressure on your house to make you stop taking a shower.
	What mechanism is this at work?
	Well, I don't know.
	I'm trying to get the details, but they say in collaboration with the Water Works in Groningen, the city council has worked out how after 10 minutes of showering, automatically the water pressure will be substantially reduced.
	And it starts tomorrow at 5 o'clock.
	And it literally says, as long as we're still using Russian gas, the commies will always win.
	So we'll find out.
	What has Russian gas got to do with your water pressure?
	No, because you're heating up the water with gas to take your shower.
	What if you're taking a cold shower?
	No shower for you, bro.
	Good point, though.
	Yeah, it's what it is.
	All right, let's go.
	This is a short part of this is part two.
	A big announcement affecting gas prices today.
	President Biden is expected to tap into the nation's strategic.
	This is the wrong clip.
	I am.
	Ukraine fall out Germany, too.
	Sorry.
	She says finding alternatives for Russian coal and oil should be relatively straightforward for Germany.
	But the problem is Russian gas.
	Germany receives it via pipelines, and the alternative to that, importing liquefied natural gas, or LNG, from other countries like the U.S. and Qatar, is tricky, because Germany does not have any LNG terminals, and it'll take years to build it.
	They also don't have a port, in case nobody noticed.
	They're landlocked.
	They're landlocked.
	These idiots, these stupid idiots.
	And I just have to say it.
	Germany...
	You didn't lose a war to be treated like this.
	You deserve better.
	See for Dean and Bessa.
	See for Dean and Bessa.
	It's not that anyone's doing this to them.
	No, they're allowing it.
	The German people are just letting us go.
	But they're...
	Yeah, they're more than allowing it.
	They're promoting it.
	But they're leaders.
	That's my point.
	Oh, their leaders are terrible.
	These are their leaders.
	They're not Germans in the street going, this is great.
	No.
	Where's that clip?
	What was Merkel doing in the Young World Economic Forum Young Leader Woman doing in there for so long?
	It's called Young Massagers.
	Global massagers.
	Part three.
	To make matters worse, let's finish this off.
	Okay.
	Part three.
	The German government has scrambled to sign LNG contracts with Qatar, and Kempfert says that gas will likely flow to Germany from terminals in other parts of Europe, but it probably won't be enough to replace Russian gas.
	So the German government already spent $100 billion for military areas, but right now, I mean, we need also money for the energy transformation in order to become less dependent on fossil fuels.
	And that could take years.
	Yes!
	It will need time.
	It's nothing we can do over or within seconds or within weeks.
	And in the meantime, German CEOs like Michael Wisser are doing what they can to deal with the new reality.
	Wisser heads the company Visag, which supplies airports with security, cleaning and catering crews.
	While many German companies continue to do business with Russia, Wisser went in the opposite direction, announcing that Visag would cut its business ties, giving up millions of dollars per year.
	We cannot support a regime that is acting like the regime is acting at the moment in Ukraine.
	Visog depends on Russia for less than 2% of its revenue.
	Oh, big talker.
	Oh, we're cutting ourselves off.
	Big talker, big shot.
	They put him on there.
	He's going, oh, we're cutting away.
	We're not like everybody else.
	We're going to tell Russia to eat pound salt.
	And meanwhile, he's got 2%.
	So he's taking a big beating.
	This kind of virtue signaling is everywhere in the world.
	What a jerk.
	All right.
	Let's get into some energy, unless you have more from NPR at this moment.
	No, I have more from NPR, but not on Germany.
	So here is the crazy guy with the crazy hair, Ernst Moinst.
	He reappeared all of a sudden on the scene in the Bill Maher show two weeks ago.
	He played a clip from him, and he's now back.
	He works for some think tank that is supposed to...
	He supposedly is trying to stop nuclear war, but he was the energy secretary under Obama.
	Wacky-ass guy.
	And he thinks, well, he thinks cheap oil is coming back.
	Well, oil and gas are a little bit different, Lisa.
	In terms of oil...
	The Russians are clearly having trouble now getting buyers.
	So even though we are not sanctioning, there is a kind of a customer sanction going on.
	And that is affecting the ability of Russia to get oil onto the market.
	They are taking a big, big discount, $30 a barrel, for example, on their oil.
	But to be honest, I think in the longer run, and I don't mean years, I mean a month or so, I think the oil markets will basically recover in terms of supply side.
	Again, Russia will take a big discount.
	But a major part in my calculation is that I think with the very, very large discounts, frankly, Russia will begin to find customers taking that oil.
	China will increase its imports.
	India is very interested in a big discount, etc.
	In addition, I think we are making some headway in terms of re-establishing our relationship with the Saudis and the Emiratis.
	They may push OPEC to slightly, at least somewhat more, increase the pace.
	And of course in the United States, I think that the president meeting with oil and gas company heads and with the heads of major financial institutions is very important because the financial institutions have been pressuring the oil and gas producers To focus more on returning cash to their investors rather than expanding supply.
	Well, right now we have a supply emergency in a certain sense, and I think it's time to do a little jawboning, if you like, and have the financial and oil and gas executives come together and recognize we do need some increase in supply.
	Alright, so the man has lost the plot.
	He does not understand what's going on.
	He doesn't see the complete ESG deplatforming out of fossil fuels, but he's hopeful.
	And so he's saying, oh no, it's good.
	The president's meeting with the oil and gas executives and, you know, he can talk to them.
	Let's get some ideas together.
	But yeah, he's going to repeal all of the breaks.
	Yeah.
	All of the tax breaks.
	That guy's delusional.
	I want to point out something about his math.
	Russia's having no trouble selling their product and they're selling it to India.
	Yes, he's right.
	They're selling it at like a 25% discount.
	I have a clip.
	Well, let me do the math and then you play the clip to verify this.
	The math is as follows.
	Before this invasion...
	I believe oil was at $50 to $60 a barrel.
	It's now at $100 to $110 a barrel, and it was going up, but it's at least $100.
	So to sell to India at a 25% discount gives Russia $75 a barrel compared to the previous $50 and $60 a barrel price.
	How is this a big beat down for Russia?
	Yeah.
	They gain $25 a barrel.
	Are you kidding me?
	Yeah, it's a discount.
	Oh, here's your discount.
	Oh, they're taking a beating because they have to discount the price.
	They're discounting the price from this ridiculous $100, $110.
	Give me a break.
	Yeah, it's a version of saying we're cutting the military spending, and they're really just cutting in the increase in the spending.
	Right.
	Yeah, we're cutting it by 10%, so the increase is cut down.
	It's all marketing, people.
	It's all marketing.
	Now, India is interesting.
	India, of course, you know, next door to Pakistan, hates Pakistan, the feelings mutual, Pakistan tight with China, India was tight with the U.S., you know, under Trump.
	Actually, they've been technically tight with Russia most of the history.
	Yes, well, and that is, that continues.
	Here's a report from Bloomberg interviewing the Saudi minister of oil.
	Minister, I am fascinated by the view east from Dubai and Abu Dhabi to India.
	With all of your remit for the Zayed family, can you please explain the India response to this war in Ukraine?
	There's such an interesting relationship between the United Arab Emirates and India.
	Please explain to us the India approach that you see.
	Well, many countries have purchased from the...
	or looked at opportunities, and some have seen a discount and acted on it.
	And I think that's the...
	The sovereign right decisions of these countries.
	We don't have an oil and gas sanctions on Russian oil and gas.
	So I think many countries have elected to go and purchase because there has been a discount.
	And I think that's...
	That's what we saw in the news, if that's what you mean.
	And many others are going to do the same.
	So thinking of squeezing barrels outside the market when a discount is there is just illusional in my view.
	Countries are going to go and buy the cheaper available crude if it fits their refineries.
	Minister, we have to leave it there.
	I find this rather interesting that they've got the...
	The Saudi guy in there, because the Saudis seem to be kind of doing their own thing, moving away from, or possibly moving away from the petrodollar, wanting to sell stuff in rials.
	I mean, I'm just waiting for them to come up with a digital coin.
	But also, I think it's UAA, they're sponsoring this world government summit.
	Which I think is held, it might be held in Dubai.
	Have you seen anything of the World Government Summit?
	I heard about it, but I haven't followed up on it.
	I don't know anything about it.
	Yeah, the World Government Summit is, I guess it started in 2013, and the whole point is, you know, it's kind of like a world economic forum, only then led by the Saudis, because they're making their own moves.
	Here's day one opening of this summit.
	And the title of this session...
	Are we ready for a new world order?
	Yeah, I mean, come on.
	Come on, people!
	I love that.
	They're making content for us.
	And Klaus Schwab came in with a little video message during the World Government Summit.
	We do not yet know the full extent and the systemic and structural changes which will happen.
	However, we do know that global energy systems, food systems, and supply chains will be deeply affected.
	Here's what's very interesting.
	The Russian oligarchs, cancelled, banned from everywhere, can't go anywhere, can't use their boats, can't use their planes, can't fly.
	Guess where they're all showing up?
	They're showing up at Dubai's Palm Jumeirah.
	You know that stupid development that no one...
	That looks like a palm tree.
	It looks like a palm tree that they constantly have to bring sand in or dredge because it's eroding.
	It's eroding.
	Yeah.
	So the Russian oligarchs are now buying places.
	As if these guys knew it.
	I always wondered, who would be stupid enough to buy a place on Palm Jumeirah?
	Well, it's the Russians, and they're there, and so now I think we need to...
	Well, that's the place that...
	The Russians are just always looking for a place to party and spend money.
	Yeah.
	So Dubai gets the money.
	Instead of London or Paris or Saint-Tropez, where I've heard some fabulous stories about these crazy Russians, it's like instead of taking their money and just, okay, whatever, we roust them.
	Yeah.
	Get out.
	We don't want your money.
	What kind of capitalists are we?
	So while all this is taking place, then we get the president...
	Well, I'll fix it.
	Well, you already had this, but it's 15 seconds, so I'll add it.
	Big announcement affecting gas prices today.
	President Biden is expected to tap into the nation's strategic petroleum reserves to release up to 1 million barrels of oil per day.
	It's part of a strategy to help bring down prices at the pump, which currently average $4.23 a gallon.
	So that's our solution.
	Meanwhile, everyone...
	Wait, how many times...
	Wait, hey.
	How many times have we done this, supposedly done it?
	And where is all this product?
	Is there a tank farm somewhere that I don't know about?
	Underground tanks?
	Where is all this reserve?
	Where is it stored?
	Well, that's a very good question.
	I think we need to find out.
	I don't know.
	I'm sure someone will...
	Sounds like a bookkeeping thing to me.
	It sounds bullcrap.
	I'd like to know where it's stored.
	Yeah, that makes sense.
	It makes sense.
	Oh, it's released another billion a day from the Reserve.
	What Reserve?
	Look, we're just as bad as Europe.
	We're screwing ourselves.
	We're screwing ourselves out of food supplies, out of oil supplies.
	Austin Airport...
	They had a fun little problem this past weekend.
	As we know from our professional airmen, in these days of shortages, severe shortages of flight personnel, particularly pilots, you do not want to book anything at the end of the month because you will run into problems.
	That's why we're leaving on April 1st.
	And lo and behold, Austin Airport, Bergstrom, not only...
	Did they have lines out the door around the block, 3,000 deep at each TSA line?
	They had people abandoning their rental cars in the rental car line.
	Yeah, I heard this.
	I heard people just leaving the cars all over the place.
	That's an Adam Curry thing, old LA MTV days, by the way.
	That was just because I was a douchebag.
	And the airport is warning they're about to run out of jet fuel.
	This is because of the diesel shortage, which is diesel, kerosene, very similar.
	And so they're warning that they're asking flights to come in with enough to continue on to their next destination or return because there's not enough fuel to go around.
	Nice.
	So we are seeing the cracks.
	We're seeing the cracks.
	And also, everybody else is not being such a moron about this Russia thing.
	And they found all kinds of ways around the so-called swift deplatforming.
	And this is evident in the Bloomberg Russia default watch, which one of our producers is now following for us.
	Will they default on their sovereign bonds?
	Will they be able to pay...
	Well, everyone's figured it out.
	No, the financial world does not give two shits about the political part.
	We've had a number of Russian corporates that have successfully made payments to their creditors on their foreign debt.
	And same with the Russian sovereign.
	You know, so far so good.
	You know, they've made their coupon payments.
	They made $117 million at mid-month.
	They just made another $102 million.
	And they've actually started wiring the funds on a $2 billion principal payment, which is due on the 31st.
	They've given creditors the option to accept payments in ruble, but obviously no one's taking up that option, at least no real investor here in the U.S.
	So shifting to the corporate side, what's interesting today is we have not one, not two, but three, well, really two and a half companies that have grace periods expiring on coupon payments that were due.
	What's interesting about all three of these companies, those being Russian Rail, Eurochem, and Shellpipe, is that, well, two out of the three...
	Citigroup is the payment agent.
	Citigroup has really towed the line here.
	You know, they want to make sure that they are not violating OFAC sanctions, that they are doing everything by the book.
	And what they're doing, in the case of Severstall, is there's a technical block-up.
	And so they aren't able to make payment.
	These companies are unable to make payment because they don't have all the paperwork in place, Jonathan.
	And so that's what these companies are contending with.
	And so it's not about capacity or willingness to pay.
	It's about the technical ability to make that payment, which matters most.
	It's truly original, isn't it, to be thinking about it that way.
	It's just paperwork.
	Everything else is in place.
	It doesn't mean that much, apparently.
	One of our producers actually said he had no problem sending money to Russia through Canadian banking services.
	But we're acting as if it's a fait accompli.
	Oh, it's all done.
	And now that the war is ending, I've asked it many times, Is there an off-ramp?
	Do we bring Russia back into SWIFT system?
	When do companies get the all-clear?
	Will that ever happen?
	I don't think so.
	It's not intended to be that way.
	And we go back to the world government summit.
	Pippa Malmgren?
	Pippa.
	Pippa Malmgren.
	She is an economist, a former advisor to presidents around the world.
	She's on stage telling us what's going down.
	I remember talking to an Australian diplomat at one point about this break between the U.S. and China and said, you know, both sides are going to say, whose team are you on?
	And he said, our job is to make sure the question never arises.
	But the question has arisen.
	And so I think we have to go deeper.
	And it's not about the U.S. versus China.
	It's about what underpins a world order is always the financial system.
	I was very privileged.
	My father was an advisor to Nixon when they came off the gold standard in 71.
	And so I was brought up with a kind of inside view of how very important the financial structure is to absolutely everything else.
	And what we're seeing in the world today, I think, is we are on the brink of a dramatic change where we are about to, and I'll say this boldly, we're about to abandon the traditional system of money and accounting and introduce a new one.
	And the new one, the new accounting is what we call blockchain.
	It means digital.
	It means having an almost perfect record of every single transaction that happens in the economy, which will give us far greater clarity over what's going on.
	It also raises huge dangers in terms of the balance of power between states and citizens.
	In my opinion, we're going to need a digital constitution of human rights.
	If we're going to have digital money, but also this new money will be sovereign in nature.
	Most people think that digital money is crypto and private, but what I see are superpowers introducing digital currency.
	The Chinese were the first.
	The US is on the brink, I think, of moving in the same direction.
	The Europeans have committed to that as well.
	Well, well, well.
	I thought India was the first.
	I think it was actually Jamaica or some weird place that did it first, some island that did it first.
	India with the rupee and China.
	I don't even know if those are necessarily blockchain.
	I think this lady is just talking a little bit.
	But something happened this week.
	A bill was introduced by Congressman Lynch...
	Who is the chair of the House Committee on Financial Services Task Force on Financial Technology, introduced H.R. 7231, the Electronic Currency and Secure Hardware Act.
	The acronym is very cute.
	E-CASH! And it's been sponsored by a bunch of tards.
	We got Jesus Garcia, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley, Alma Adams.
	These are all on the Committee on Financial Services.
	And I remind you, I think Maxine Waters is actually in charge of all financial stuff.
	Oh, we're in big trouble.
	Just the names you name, those dummies, those socialist dummies.
	What's the connection between socialism and digital currency?
	Well, I will tell you.
	Because this has nothing to do with blockchain.
	And this is, within six months, I'm sorry, 180 days, There must be a Phase 1 ready to be implemented, including software and hardware.
	So they must have something teed up.
	That will be a small test.
	Wait a minute.
	They're just optimists.
	They're optimists when you see the description.
	Followed by a, quote, large-scale Phase 2 test.
	And so this is not blockchain.
	They have some fantasy that it will be equal to dollars.
	It will be acceptable either way.
	So you can give someone a paper dollar or a Visa dollar and it will be acceptable, interchangeable with this.
	It's a bearer instrument.
	So they also think that somehow they'd be able to You'll be able to hand somebody some digital money offline without anyone verifying that this is a double spend, so that'll be fun to watch.
	But the thing that got me the most is how is this funded?
	How does it work?
	The full legal description is fantastic.
	I'll give you from their website, eCash.us.
	The eCash Act establishes permanent ongoing appropriations authority for spending undertaken in furtherance of eCash with the specific amount to be determined by the Treasury Secretary on an ongoing basis.
	See, the difference is, this is not run by the central bank, the Federal Reserve, so it's not a CBDC. It is being issued by the Treasury.
	So how is the Treasury going to do this?
	They will have a special ring-fenced overdraft account for the Treasury for e-cash at the Federal Reserve with no overdraft, no fees, and no limit.
	Furthermore, any money that is created through that at the Federal Reserve may not be counted towards the overall federal debt.
	And away we go!
	So they literally are going to create free money, free, created by the Federal Reserve and hand it out to people in a, quote, large-scale trial within a year from now.
	I don't think they can create what they're promising.
	I don't think they can even come close, but I can now understand why Tlaib and these other bozos are involved.
	Because this is MMT. Yes!
	This is a freeway.
	And they're big promoters of it.
	Yep, this is a freeway right into it.
	You just, hey, you need money?
	Boom, we'll just send it to you.
	The trick here is that they're doing it from the Treasury and not the Fed.
	And that's why no one's looking at it.
	This is hilarious.
	Oh, it's going to be...
	This whole website is fantastic.
	They really are delusional in what they think they can do, technically.
	I love the...
	No, no, no.
	This won't be public.
	These will all be private transactions.
	Well, the U.S. government will verify it.
	Don't worry.
	And there will be no tracking.
	No tracking.
	Minimal.
	Oh, this has got...
	Hackers unite!
	Wait a minute.
	I've got to read this.
	Where's the...
	Will it really be private?
	Here we go.
	Um...
	Directing the Treasury Secretary to preserve the privacy, anonymity, respecting, and minimal transaction data gathering properties.
	It's just minimal.
	It's just minimal.
	They want to put it in a SIM card as one experiment.
	Now, this is going to be great.
	So yes, that's why these, and you know, this is the, they even refer to the digital dollar in this act.
	So it's what Elizabeth Warren put in with Bernie Sanders, revamped, when the very first COVID bill came out, when I thought we'd be done in like three weeks, the first billion that they printed up.
	Remember that?
	That huge, they wanted to go to a trillion, that huge bill and the digital dollar was in there.
	So they're just trying it again.
	This time, they make it a little further.
	So they're really trying to crash the economy for good.
	Yes, sir.
	Yes, sir.
	I'm not an officer.
	You are to me.
	You are to me.
	This is insane.
	Madness!
	It's madness.
	Especially when you hear what's going on in the real financial market.
	Sell-off in the bond market continued today.
	Short-dated yields hitting their highest since 2019.
	The five-year yield topped the 30-year yield in technical jargon.
	The yield curve inverted.
	The yield curve's inverted!
	Head for the exits!
	Does this happen often, the yield curve?
	It happens about once every couple of years, but it happened and it's supposed to create a recession within six to nine months.
	Hold on, they have it here.
	It's 30 seconds left.
	That's said to be a clear sign of a recession on the way.
	Usually if you buy a U.S. government bond, you'll want a higher return on your investment if you're going to give your money to the government for a longer time.
	So the annual return you get on a 30-year treasury, aka its yield, should be higher than a 5-year treasury, right?
	The government's taking my money for 30 years after all.
	They better sweeten the deal.
	But today, for some reason, the yield on the 30-year fell below the yield on the 5-year.
	Right, so that's the inversion.
	They also call it crossover.
	Now, the last time this happened, which was, because we tracked this on DHM Plugin, it was about three years ago, and it was supposed to create a recession within six to nine months.
	And it never happened.
	It just didn't happen.
	And more recently, the only way it's explained is that the government has screwed up the system so much with this free money and printing money and the MMT and all the rest of it that they can't seem to...
	So all the old rules don't apply anymore.
	So this inversion doesn't really mean anything.
	I guess...
	Well, just one more data point of the change of the financial system and, as the consultant told us, the accounting.
	The CEO, co-founder of Ripple, the XRP shitcoin, this is the one that, you know, since the beginning of the lockdown crisis, Even before the lockdown, this XRP, it's the one to buy.
	That's what's going to be the new SWIFT. They have quantum financial system, off-world servers.
	This is going to be it.
	And indeed...
	XRP, Ripple, the company, does have a lot of banks exchanging financial data and, I believe, payment or directly payments with each other through XRP. They have like 50 banks in it.
	But this guy, all of a sudden, is so worried about Bitcoin, I'll just speak about that selfishly, that he has started a campaign with Greenpeace, put $5 million, Chris Larson is his name, Put $5 million into it.
	We want Bitcoin to change the code, not the climate.
	And they're proposing a code change to Bitcoin, which of course would make it completely not Bitcoin what it is.
	But they're so worried about the perfect money that Bitcoin is...
	That they're now trying to weaken it and trying to have Elon Musk and other industry representatives shill for this change in the code to go from proof of work to God knows whatever.
	And it's pathetic.
	So I think a lot of people are running scared about what's next.
	What are we going to use?
	And this e-cash, shit man, if that thing passes, can you imagine a blank check?
	It'll steamroll over everything if they can make it work.
	I don't know what to tell you.
	It seems like a disaster waiting to happen.
	Yes, yes, it's the great reset.
	This is what we love about it.
	It will be so good.
	The great collapse.
	Well, yes, yes, the great collapse.
	Well, all this is going on.
	I do have one last Ukraine clip.
	This is Zelensky.
	Ukraine Zelensky.
	He wants more stuff.
	He wants more money from us.
	The minister is calling for more international sanctions on Russia, saying that will put his country in a stronger position and negotiate an end to the war.
	NPR's Michelle Kellan reports the U.S. has also been trying to strengthen Ukraine's hands.
	The Biden administration has been skeptical about Russia's intentions in peace talks and believes that President Putin doesn't have a clear picture about his country's losses in Ukraine.
	Secretary of State Antony Blinken was asked about that during a stop in Algiers.
	One of the Achilles heels of autocracies is that you don't have people in those systems who...
	Did he say Achilles?
	Did he?
	No, let's listen again.
	...in Ukraine.
	Secretary of State Antony Blinken was asked about that during a stop in Algiers.
	One of the Achilles heels of autocrats is that you don't have people in those systems who speak truth to power or who have the ability to speak truth to power.
	And I think that is something that we're seeing in Russia.
	President Biden spoke to Ukraine's president to get an update on negotiations and to offer $500 million in aid.
	The White House says the U.S. is also looking into more sanctions.
	More sanctions.
	More sanctions.
	More aid.
	More sanctions.
	Come on.
	Hey, so let's just talk about the throwback to the 70s because it's too good at this point.
	The Economist came out with a piece of What is wrong with Europe?
	Don't you remember the 70s, people?
	This is not a problem.
	Why is Europe not rediscovering the spirit of the 1970s?
	Back then, the European public was expected to accept some discomfort and inconvenience.
	Speed limits went from the exception to the norm, except on German autobahns, of course.
	Dutch and German cities were among those that went pedestrian one day a week.
	France decreed public buildings should be no warmer than 20 degrees centigrade, two degrees lower than today's European average.
	11pm, an idea that could usefully be revived for social media.
	Daylight saving schemes adopted during the world wars were soon revived across the continent.
	Whatever it takes involved people donning jumpers.
	Ha ha.
	Wear a sweater.
	And they're already starting it.
	Take a 10-minute shower or we'll turn it off.
	This is starting.
	This is the 70s.
	Yeah, you're right.
	It's exactly the same.
	I have another 70s reference for you that will blow your mind.
	As chaos engulfed the Capitol building on January 6th, President Trump spoke repeatedly on the phone with allies and supporters, some urging him to put an end to the violence.
	But none of those calls are reflected in the 11 pages of White House records for January 6th given to the House Select Committee.
	There is a massive 7-hour and 37-minute gap in calls.
	Watergate tapes, anybody?
	By the way, if anybody remembers that era and has never seen the movie Dick, I recommend it.
	So explain the Watergate tape missing or erased recording, the gap in the recording.
	Yes, there was, during the Nixon lead-up to what they were going to impeach him, he finally quit before they even began the hearings.
	But there were Watergate hearings going on, and Nixon had used a system that had been put in place by Lyndon Johnson or Maybe even Truman, but somebody had put a system in the White House to record everything that was going on in there.
	Yeah, Johnson.
	Nobody knew about it.
	It was recording every meeting, every phone call, everything that was going on in the Oval Office was recorded.
	Particularly of Johnson being an incredibly racist dick.
	I mean...
	That's the best recordings.
	Johnson's a racist pig.
	And in fact, you'd think if those recordings were made better known to the black community, they'd vote Republican.
	But let's skip that.
	So Nixon's, they had all these recordings of Nixon talking about talking tough and he's talking to his buddies and all these things going on.
	And then according to the way they put it, his secretary, and I forgot her name.
	She had a very famous name and she was the private secretary.
	She accidentally erased, because she was looking for some blank tapes or something, some phony baloney excuse, and she accidentally erased like seven hours of transcripts.
	Rosemary Woods.
	Rosemary Woods.
	Yeah.
	So Rosemary accidentally erased seven hours of tape, something like that.
	No, it was much less than that.
	I thought it was 20 minutes.
	It was something important.
	18 and a half minutes.
	18 and a half minutes.
	Okay, well it was an important few minutes.
	It was only 18 and a half minutes.
	But the beauty was, the beauty was, because I remember this, my grandmother, Whiffy, Marilyn, she would send my mom actual cassette tapes Through the mail, we were living in the Netherlands at the time when this was going down, that she recorded next to the television on her little portable, you know, the dictaphone recorder where you'd have to press down.
	Yeah, a little Olympus.
	Yeah, or whatever.
	Tandy, Radio Shack.
	And my mom would then play those, listening, because you couldn't get that kind of coverage in Europe at the time.
	And she'd listen to them.
	And my grandmother, of course, jokingly called them the Watergate tapes, which she would send to my mom.
	So I heard a lot of this.
	And at issue was, and I remember, I might have even seen some video of this.
	They were trying to figure out, to prove that this was bullshit.
	And so they said, okay, so Rosemary Woods, she had to have her left hand over here, her right leg twisted under her, her left eyeball looking over there.
	Do you recall any of that?
	It was crazy.
	It was something they're trying to prove, even though anyone who's had a tape recorder when they were kids knows it wasn't that hard to erase part of a tape.
	Of course not.
	And there's even pictures, if you look at the...
	If you look at the Wikipedia of how she was reaching and how that...
	Because there was a foot switch involved.
	So that's a total throwback.
	I'm going to do one more just to completely nail the coffin shut.
	We were talking about 1976 Academy Awards.
	1976 when ABC aired them for the first time.
	The first big scandal of a streaker on stage running around naked.
	What was one of the biggest movies of 1976?
	I don't have to tell you things are bad.
	Everybody knows things are bad.
	It's a depression.
	Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job.
	This is Network, and just listen to a little bit of this iconic speech.
	How history is rhyming at us.
	The dollar buys a nickel's worth.
	Banks are going bust.
	Shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter.
	Punks are running wild in the street.
	There's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it.
	We know.
	The air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat.
	We sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had 15 homicides and 63 violent crimes as if that's the way it's supposed to be.
	We know things are bad, worse than bad.
	They're crazy.
	It's like everything everywhere is going crazy so we don't go out anymore.
	We sit in the house and slowly the world we're living in is getting smaller and all we say is please at least leave us alone in our living room.
	Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radios and I won't say anything.
	Just leave us alone.
	Well, I'm not going to leave you alone.
	I want you to get mad.
	I don't want you to protest.
	I don't want you to ride.
	I don't want you to ride to your- I thought there was also a thing about the Russians in here.
	Maybe that got cut out somehow.
	Congressmen, because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write.
	I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians.
	There we go.
	All I know is that first, you've got to get mad.
	You've got to say, I'm a human being.
	God damn it.
	My life has value.
	I'm telling you, man.
	I love being old now.
	This is great.
	It's like, oh, I know exactly what's going to go down.
	We've literally seen this movie before.
	Yeah, if you can remember some of the details, you're in good shape.
	So, yeah, it's the 70s, I know.
	And my list, I don't have it in front of me, but I'll read it off, and it's just like one thing after another.
	And there's little subtle things that I have not, you know, like, for example, prostitution.
	This hasn't re-emerged in any real way.
	But prostitution was unbelievable in the 70s.
	What about OnlyFans?
	We just have a different version.
	You know, I can't see that it is quite the same as streetwalkers.
	And when I say prostitution, I talk about streetwalkers.
	And there was Berkeley and San Francisco around here.
	There were so many streetwalkers.
	It's unbelievable.
	I have not seen a return to that.
	In fact, just the opposite.
	They've been cracking down any time some girl shows up.
	Because it's human trafficking.
	So that hasn't re-emerged in any real way.
	But street walkers, we have modern versions of it now.
	You don't have to display your wares on the street.
	The internet!
	Well, yeah, it just doesn't seem to have the same impact, the internet.
	I'm waiting for swallowing goldfish to come back.
	Was that the 70s?
	I think that was way before the 70s.
	Was that the 60s maybe?
	Yeah, it had to be the 50s.
	Yeah, you're right.
	Because my dad did that in college like a dope...
	Well, that did match up a few years back, at least not in the 2021 era, but in the 2020 era.
	Tide Pod.
	Tide Pods, yes.
	How about Pet Rocks?
	Can we get Pet Rocks coming back?
	Pet Rocks was from the 70s, and I have yet to see an analog of that.
	Spoon Bending with Uri Geller?
	Spoon Benning has not.
	I think that was 60s.
	Maybe he peaked in the 70s.
	No, no.
	I remember Uri Geller in the 70s.
	He was all over Dutch TV. Yeah, there's no full baloney magician.
	CV radios.
	Sorry?
	CB radios?
	Yes, CB radios.
	Well, I say chat, maybe chat rooms, internet chat rooms.
	Slack.
	Slack is your CB radio.
	Slack's good.
	In fact, if anybody wants to be an old-timer in tech, they remember when CompuServe was a big deal.
	They had the CB simulator.
	No, that was their chat.
	It was called CB simulator.
	You're right.
	And you'd have all kinds of...
	You could go to Channel 9 if you were an emergency.
	You'd have a handle.
	Snowbird.
	So...
	Yeah.
	What else was going on?
	There's so much coming back from the...
	It's so odd.
	The fashion is coming for sure.
	There's a lot.
	Yeah, we'll nail it.
	How about roller skates?
	Old school roller skates.
	Actually, the 70s is where the inline skates first came in.
	Oh, is that inline?
	Yep.
	Okay, well nothing new there.
	Yo-yos.
	Yo-yos!
	Yo-yos were pre-70.
	Frisbees?
	Oh, Frisbees.
	I don't know about Frisbees when that came in.
	It wasn't on my list of 70s stuff.
	Well, we were sending people.
	Apollo Mission was coming up in the 70s.
	There's so much.
	There's so much.
	But we should be really looking closer.
	Well, we're supposed to have a moon launch in two years.
	Yes.
	Can't wait.
	With Artemis.
	Is Artemis going to be the moon shot or is Artemis the Mars thing?
	Artemis is the moon and, yeah, Musk's thing is Mars.
	Yeah.
	So that would be similar, because the moon should...
	Well, really, the 70s, it all ended.
	I mean, this was 60s, 60s into early 70s, and then the program kind of waned, didn't it?
	It waned.
	They pulled the plug.
	Yeah.
	Well, it's going to be very interesting to watch, because that's, and again, I'm happy now that I have some age on me, because it's like, holy crap, I really, I'm waiting for the Schwinn bike with the banana saddle.
	I had one with the monkey handlebars.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	With that, I'd like to thank you for your courage.
	Say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the trip of clump, ladies and gentlemen, Mr.
	John C. Dvorak.
	Hey, how are you in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry?
	Also in the morning, all ships of sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs of the water.
	And all the dames and knights out there.
	In the morning to the trolls in the troll room.
	Hello, trolls!
	How you doing?
	You said you were going to throw some of those cans out.
	It's become a hazard.
	It is.
	It's become a hazard, man.
	Be careful with the cans, man.
	People are listening live to us right now.
	You can do that as well.
	All you have to do is convert into a troll.
	And on show days, Thursdays and Sundays, 11 central time in Tejas, you go to trollroom.io.
	And that brings you right to a wonderful live stream where you can listen to the show live and all kinds of shows at 24-7 noagendastream.com.
	Then there's also a chat room.
	It's a simple IRC-based chat room, which you can even access from any IRC client you might want to use.
	It's old school, and that's why it's a troll room.
	You just go in there, troll around, say hi, troll everybody else, troll, troll me, troll whoever you want.
	And let's count these trolls.
	See how many we have checking us out today.
	Trolls, hands up.
	Let's see.
	Hands up there, trolls.
	Very disappointing.
	Very disappointing.
	2163.
	Wow, that was less than the last Thursday's 2200.
	That's a low.
	I'm telling you.
	Nobody wants to hear about it.
	They don't want to talk about it.
	They want to talk about the slap.
	Oh, was it real?
	Was it not real?
	They don't want to talk about Ukraine because, you know...
	It's too triggering.
	It's too triggering.
	It's triggering.
	It's triggering.
	I don't want to know the truth.
	I don't want to know the truth.
	Let me be happy with my Oscars.
	If you want to...
	If you want to converse with us outside of the troll room, then why don't you go to Mastodon?
	You can...
	You can get a Mastodon account almost anywhere.
	They're free.
	You can set up your own server, which is preferable.
	You can get one for like $8 a month.
	You can have your own community.
	You can control what's going on there if you want, however you want to.
	And you can federate with the rest of the Fediverse.
	And you follow Adam at NoAgendaSocial.com, John C. Dvorak at NoAgendaSocial.com, and you will see all of our posts, our replies.
	Stuff will start to flow over in your federated tab.
	You'll see all the NoAgendaSocial.com people.
	It's a very cool system and it's worth trying out, particularly because there's no censorship from us.
	There's no algos.
	Flame wars die out real quick.
	And it's just fun.
	There's a lot of very smart people on there.
	That's noagendasocial.com.
	And they're troublemakers and you can just block them if you don't like it.
	Yeah.
	I've gotten...
	Actually, after the past month or so, I've had very few reports...
	He said something wrong.
	Block him.
	No, I don't think that has anything to do with the total number of violations.
	It has to do with the fact that everyone finally has a clue that the reports do nothing.
	Correct.
	The reports, I read them because sometimes there's actual spam.
	You want to get rid of a spammer if that happens.
	But otherwise, no, it's all pretty good.
	So as part of our time, talents, and treasure, the trifecta of the value-for-value model, which we've been employing, have deployed for working on 15 years now, which means you produce it, you've got to produce this show, and we have great producers, people sending in things they're expert in.
	You hear it even from Germany.
	We have boots on the ground.
	We have people in all walks of life, all industries.
	Also, we need people helping with our servers, with our artwork, with clips, with everything, and with money.
	If we can't pay the bills, then the show ends, but it's been going okay so far for 14 and a half years.
	The artwork for episode 1437, which, of course, we titled Bruce Force, how could we not honor the president with that?
	It was brought to you by Roger Roundy, a resounding, unanimous pick for the Zelensky and Putin Oscar image.
	A thing of beauty.
	Lots of people really like this one.
	I liked it.
	No, we loved it.
	I actually used another Roundy piece.
	We had two...
	It was for the newsletter because it was the color I wanted.
	I was looking for red and coincidentally it was red.
	And he also had the slap shown as we go out and hit people in the mouth.
	Right.
	And then I went and looked on Twitter and I saw a couple of...
	Similar memes.
	One woman that's...
	I don't know why she's following me.
	I think I ended up just blocking her and have her unfollow.
	By the way, if you're on Twitter and you don't want somebody who's following you because they're just tracking you around, you can turn off their follow unbeknownst to them.
	What?
	You can unfollow someone?
	No, you can have them unfollow you.
	Really?
	Really.
	Yeah.
	How do you do that?
	It's a little trick.
	Well, tell us the trick.
	This is a great tip.
	The trick is you go over to the little dots there and you get a drop-down menu where you block.
	On the tweet itself, you mean?
	On the tweet, yeah.
	Oh, on the person.
	I think it shows up on the tweet, but on the person for sure.
	And you get the drop-down menu, and on there it says, unfollow.
	It says something.
	I'd have to go back and look right now for exact wording.
	That's unbelievable.
	Yeah, and it makes mention, when you hit it, it says, this person will not be notified that you did this.
	Wow, this is like some reverse kind of weird censorship.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I like it.
	That's very interesting.
	The more you know in the morning.
	Thanks, good tip.
	That's a good tip.
	So, of course, the slap had not happened, so that artwork could not have been created yet.
	No, I get it.
	Anyway, this woman's bitching that we're racists.
	Hold on a second.
	These are the people you need to engage.
	Start DMing her.
	Don't unfollow her.
	Oh, she has a bunch of blue waves.
	Why were we racist?
	Now, by the way, she didn't tell me this.
	She said, you're racist.
	Not me.
	Well, I'm the one who posted the newsletter.
	You didn't.
	Right, so you're racist.
	Yeah, I'm racist.
	What was the racist part?
	It showed the two, one black guy slapping another.
	Oh, that's racist.
	Okay, I got it.
	By the way, I forgot to mention one thing.
	Another thing I learned from Moe, taboo amongst black men.
	You do not want to be captured anywhere on tape, certainly not on live television broadcast, as the, quote, angry black man.
	It is very triggering.
	The black men are like, shoot, man, you don't make the jokes about the black woman's hair, and you never want to come across as the angry black man on TV. So we're racist.
	Okay, got it.
	I just had her unfollow me.
	I'm sad about that.
	She obviously didn't.
	She was not a listener to the show.
	She followed me for who knows what reason.
	Because anyone who knows our show knows what that was referring to.
	We hit people in the mouth, is what it said.
	And it would refer to our tagline.
	How many followers did she have?
	Zero?
	She had quite a few.
	Oh, my God.
	You're kicking out audience.
	No.
	Let's look at some of the others.
	These are the she, her.
	By the way, my wife, you know, I always bitch about this and I'm going to go on my LinkedIn.
	And I want to mention a couple of things.
	One, anyone who wants to follow me on LinkedIn, just ask for an invite.
	I'll take it.
	But my daughter, Jay Dvorak, just started a LinkedIn page and she needs some people in her network.
	Go to your LinkedIn and add her and see if she can...
	Invite her or whatever, however you do it, and then she'll tag you and you'll get on hers.
	She's got like one me.
	She just started her page.
	She has you, she has Mark Pugner, and she has some other chick, some other vague chick.
	It's J-A-E, Dvorak, J-A-E. There's only one of them.
	So...
	Okay, I'll be sure.
	I hate LinkedIn.
	Yeah.
	I refuse to participate in it.
	Another network with a million badges telling you how many unread items you have in each place.
	Well, I'm starting to take people that follow me or connect to me on LinkedIn that have he, him on the top of the thing.
	Or she, her.
	I just find it so annoying.
	My wife uses this, but she uses she, it.
	Yeah, that's hilarious.
	I don't get it.
	Shit!
	Oh, I get it.
	Jeez.
	She slash it.
	Okay, I got it.
	Alright, other pieces of art that were looked at and considered, of course, was...
	The Zelensky, the Tom Hanks of Ukraine, that was pretty obscure.
	The smelts your amygdala, there were a couple of smelting things, Sean Penn smelting things.
	And by the way, we need to hold that cuck to it.
	Hey, good luck.
	Yeah.
	American Dream.
	He's not smelting anything.
	He's like Barbra Streisand, who's going to move out of the country if George Bush got elected.
	Not just George Bush?
	No, everybody.
	Any Republican, she's moving out of the country.
	Trump?
	Trump, she's going to move.
	I'm going to move out of the country.
	I like the Bruce Force, but nothing really.
	Everything kind of paled in comparison to the roundy piece.
	I thought the Woke Wash was pretty good.
	Gabe Greider put that together, but it's too small, these letters.
	It's never going to read.
	Just too small.
	Mike Riley had a Sean Penn Oscar melted, which I remember saying, hey, that's kind of cool.
	Yeah, you liked that one right away.
	Yeah, I did.
	The No Agenda Playbook, I think it's lost on everybody.
	Let's see.
	Was there anything on the next page?
	I think that was it.
	I did like Darren O'Neill's No Agenda American Dream Rent to Own.
	Yes, that was good.
	We talked about that.
	He's always got the good fallback pieces.
	It's an evergreen, and it's also kind of in his 70s vibe, which I liked.
	Even though it doesn't have the pure 70s color, but it has kind of the...
	Yeah, I think a day glow orange would have been better.
	Well, we highly appreciate what Roger Roundy put together.
	I think Roger's going to be at the South Carolina meetup when we're there, so I'm excited.
	Well, he's going to be probably...
	Maybe he can arrange to auction off a quick, small print.
	You just want a piece by him, don't you?
	Just tell me what you want and I'll tell them to guarantee you.
	Oh, I'm getting a piece by him.
	Don't worry.
	Oh, okay.
	Thank you very much to the artists, for all artists who always diligently bring their time and talent.
	We appreciate it so much.
	You can see these images in a podcasting 2.0 app, which you can find at newpodcastapps.com.
	I did want to mention, we were not invited, of course, John, but the big podcast evolutions took place last week and last weekend in Los Angeles.
	I don't know anything about it.
	Well, it's a big podcast conference, which is paid for by the assholes of the industry.
	That would be Spotify, Amazon, Google, YouTube announced their podcast initiative.
	Oh, they must have had a big special.
	They must have had a huge discussion about the Podcasting 2.0 initiative.
	Interestingly...
	Interestingly, there were multiple sessions where Podcasting 2.0 was discussed based upon surveys, and Podcast Index and Podcasting 2.0 sticks out above Spotify, Apple, Amazon, and Google head and shoulders in all categories.
	Well, that makes sense if you think about it.
	Yeah, like innovation, responsiveness, you know, getting shit done, having all the podcasts you want to listen to.
	This is interesting you bring this up.
	I don't want to just sit here and talk about this because we talk about it enough, but the responsiveness thing, can you explain that?
	What does that mean?
	And why is podcasting 2.0, if you post there, it instantly comes up.
	Yes, this is an innovation called PodPing.
	And so typically, let's just take Apple as an example, but Spotify.
	Let's use Spotify.
	Spotify needs to update the feeds to see if there's something new.
	The way this has been done for almost 20 years is you get a whole bunch of servers and they're looking at every single one of the millions of podcast feeds and polling it.
	Got something new, got something new, got something new.
	Yeah, which is just screwing up the internet.
	Very, very wasteful.
	So we created PodPing, which is a blockchain specifically built for this purpose, where the hosting company It says, okay, this podcast is updated.
	It puts that on the blockchain, so it's immutable.
	It's there forever.
	So when you want to see if something's updated, you don't have to go and poll millions of feeds.
	You just talk to the PodPing blockchain.
	In fact, the way we've set it up is the blockchain pings the app.
	So if you upload to rss.com or buzzsprout.com or there's several more that are now using PodPing, The minute you post, within like 60 seconds, but I say 90 seconds, it will be available and notified as such on Podcasting 2.0 apps.
	And we have lobbied, to some degree, that all companies should be doing this.
	Apple is literally killing the climate now.
	With these computers needlessly polling this stuff all day long.
	Same for Spotify.
	They're killing polar bears.
	And anybody can use it.
	They may be using it, but they don't have to tell us.
	It's open and free.
	Anybody can use it, and it solves a shitload of stuff.
	Pretty cool, right?
	That's unbelievable.
	And the point...
	So that brings me to the other point...
	This sounds rehearsed.
	No, it's not.
	I'm surprised you're going this deep.
	This brings me to the other point...
	Which is why weren't you invited to go discuss this stuff in front of this audience?
	Because Will Ferrell was doing a keynote, bro.
	Oh, yeah, the major...
	Yeah, yeah, he's the podfather.
	Yes, he is the podfather.
	And YouTube was making a big announcement, which was not a big announcement.
	So, it...
	What's happened is there's this capture of podcasting by companies who believe they will be able to figure out two things, discoverability and making money.
	No, of course it's too late.
	No, it's too late.
	You've already screwed them.
	You single-handedly screwed their plans for the future.
	Yes, I hope that.
	Thank you!
	Thank you.
	I think that's great work.
	Somebody had to do it.
	I'm happy to be the guy.
	And with that, let's thank some of our very own Value for Value producers who have come in to help us with the treasure portion of the three Ts.
	We start with our executive producers for episode 1438, and we start with Earl Mittens of a world distant.
	He's in Louisville, Kentucky.
	Screams right up top, switcheroo.
	What screams out as well is the donation, $2,143.28.
	Instadame Baronetis Hood.
	Let's read.
	Please credit executive producership and the Instadame Baronetis Hood to Mary Brett in celebration of her birthday on March 28th.
	I would, however, like to hijack the dispensation of karma to all of the big hearts and warm souls that populated the February 14th Nashville meetup, including the aforementioned birthday girl.
	Cheers, gents, Earl Mittens of a world distance.
	And we'll throw out this karma here.
	You've got karma.
	Now, I need to say something about Mary Brett, because I feel really horrible.
	Mary Brett, I believe, if I'm right, she was the one who was driving in her van.
	She kind of changed her life, and she's been doing these music-based trivia games at parties, and she went to Nashville.
	She was driving to Nashville to be there to meet the keeper and myself, and of course, I wound up having COVID. We couldn't go.
	But she has some pickles that she wanted to drop off coming through Fredericksburg on her way back.
	Some pickles she's put in a jar herself.
	Now, I didn't see emails because I was doing something else.
	I don't read all the emails every single day.
	I have to go and clear out the box every two days.
	She apparently was stranded with a broken alternator about 20 miles outside of town.
	I didn't have my number, but she emailed me.
	Slept in the van while waiting for it to find someone who could fix this bus.
	I completely missed her.
	Yeah, I feel really horrible about that.
	So I'm very...
	Sorry?
	She had pickles?
	She has some pickles that she wanted.
	Yeah, she took them...
	She wanted to give them to us in...
	In Nashville.
	She took them to the Nashville meetup and was driving back.
	I think she used...
	I wonder if they're fermented pickles.
	The whole thing could have...
	Could have exploded?
	Exploded.
	You're always one for a good gag, John C. Dvorak.
	Anyway, I'm very happy that she will receive her Insidame Baronetis hood.
	Well deserved.
	And thank you so much, Earl Mittens of a Distant World.
	Very kind of you, sir.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	Onward with, normally at the top of the list, Sir Onimus and Dogpatch of Lower Slobovia.
	And there he is again.
	Wow.
	He came in.
	I was wondering if he was going to make it in this month, but he did, 1720, which is a good number.
	A great number.
	And like recent notes, this one's quite lengthy.
	Oh, he's usually quite short.
	Yeah, he's got something to say once in a while.
	Okay.
	Thank you, all producers, who make this program so enjoyable.
	I've had quite a bit of feet in the air and accumulated an album of PCR tests.
	Okay.
	Here's my...
	It's like a bunch of mementos, one of those, you know, what do you call them?
	Clipping stuff and saving it.
	I have enough experience with unwanted testing.
	Scrapbook?
	Yeah, scrapbook full of tests.
	I've had enough experiences with unwanted testing that the deterioration of process has become visible.
	Hmm.
	I wonder if what he means by that is that he's noticing they don't do a good job.
	That's what I think he's going to tell us, yeah.
	Yeah, preparing for a recent test.
	I was late for my appointment.
	In other words, this is all theater now.
	Oh, it's going to get better.
	I was late for my appointment at a many times used location after filling in my registration form and paying my fee.
	I sat to wait and 30 minutes later I received an SMS with a completed form and negative results.
	My nose was never violated, and I boarded my flight untested, but with a negative PCR. Well, you were lucky you got the randomized negative result.
	Clearly, they don't give a shit.
	In other words, what bull crap is what he's trying to tell us here.
	Yeah, sounds like it.
	Traveling between two countries, not the U.S., with a negative PCR test, actual nose invasion this time, I was required to take another test upon arrival at the new country.
	No notice of results from the second test was received.
	As I prepared to take a PCR test to return to the U.S., I received an SMS with a link indicating the mandatory COVID quarantine was over.
	Apparently, upon arrival, it was a positive test, but I was never informed.
	Wow.
	Come on in, sir.
	Fortunately, as a return PCR taken that day was negative, and I returned to the U.S. as scheduled, as many know, the U.S. quote-unquote day before PCR requirement can result in rescheduled flights if the testing firm is busy.
	Yes, it's very anxious, this kind of shit.
	Hmm.
	Just sharing experiences of this made-up COVID testing world.
	Interesting.
	Flattening the curve as in the yield curve.
	There it is.
	In the new Fed policy, which historically has eventually led to sad economic times.
	As you have discussed on your show, I share the view that we are rhyming with the 70s.
	Ooh, I like this.
	I expect the flattening will be as successful as the COVID curve flattening effect or effort.
	We are rhyming with the 70s for we have a long hard road ahead and this Ramadan casting may become a way of life for many.
	We're all Muslim now.
	No food for you.
	As things begin to deteriorate, I want to remind all producers of saying charity begins at home with your family and your country.
	I know U.S.'s not-for-profits have suffered a terrible impact COVID in terms of donations, and a revival of the 70s economics will make things harder for them to help your neighbor.
	Worse, No jingles, no karma.
	Preach.
	Preach.
	Yeah, no, that's true.
	You know, we support Ronald McDonald House charities, of course.
	Tina's alma mater.
	It's been very difficult for them to raise money.
	And people have just turned into people who don't want to support.
	Well, they're seeing it.
	Yeah, they're seeing all kinds of shit.
	Scared by the media.
	Yes, well, with some perhaps good reason.
	Seronymous of Dogpatch and Loris Lobovia, it is always a pleasure to receive a note from you.
	You always bring us so much wisdom.
	When does Ramadan start?
	Let's Google it.
	I think we should do...
	I'd like to participate in Ramadan this year.
	Let's see.
	Ramadan 2022.
	Does that shift around?
	I think it shifts around, right?
	April 2nd.
	Ends May 1st.
	So April 2nd will be...
	Well, I got April 1st.
	It begins April...
	Ramadan 2020 begins the evening of April 1st.
	Yes.
	Yeah, that's right.
	That's when you can eat.
	And it ends on the evening of May 1st.
	Wow.
	So it's the whole month of April.
	The whole month, man.
	We're on vacation that first week.
	So?
	Don't eat.
	Can I do Ramadan after the vacation?
	Oh, brother, you can't start moving things around for your own schedule.
	Sorry.
	Maybe next year you can do Ramadan.
	Onward to Sir Benjamin Nidus, Viscount of San Francisco, who's in San Francisco, California, brings in 613.34.
	And he says, this donation brings my giving level...
	Ready for this?
	To $7,000 total.
	That's some dedication right there.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	And with this, you know what we need?
	We need to...
	If he's an Earl...
	There we go.
	A little Earl sound.
	I would like to claim the title Earl...
	Or count of San Francisco, whichever the peerage committee will accept.
	It has to be Earl, right?
	Do we have counts?
	Yeah, well, counts I think is an optional one for, I think it's a substitute for Earl.
	I have to go look at the peerage listings to figure this out, but I like the idea of the count of San Francisco.
	I like the count of, it sounds kind of sinister.
	Yeah.
	I like that a lot.
	Thank you both for the conspiracy therapy.
	Please play Chemtrails, yay, and a fluoride in your cup.
	Chemtrails.
	This part of waking up is fluoride in my cup.
	All right, you got it.
	Yeah, make him the count.
	He's going to be upgraded today, so that would be good.
	Yes.
	All right, onward with Sir Brian, the Baron of Tampa Bay, $400.33 from Tampa, Florida.
	No jingles.
	Just the biggest job karma for all of us tech slaves dodging the vax mandates like Neo in the Matrix.
	Ooh.
	The needles are shooting by you.
	I am staring down the barrel of 40 soon on April 2nd.
	You're on the birthday list.
	Thanks for all the amygdala shrinkage as always, Sir Ryan Barron of Tampa Bay.
	All right.
	Well, if he needs the biggest job karma, that means it's this one.
	Jobs.
	Jobs.
	You've got karma.
	And we hit Andrew Walker.
	Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 333.89.
	Let's see what's up with this.
	Dear Adam and Chauncey.
	This donation is in celebration of my 33rd birthday on March 30th, and after 10 years of listening, I've finally achieved knighthood.
	I would like to henceforth be known as Sir Big Bro Mario, Knight of the NASCAR and Nintendos.
	And for my pit stop at the round table, I humbly request four fresh Goodyears and a can of Sunoco race fuel.
	Sounds like a breakfast of champions to me.
	I will never be able to thank you two enough.
	I found you guys at a pivotal time in my early 20s when most of my peers began to gobble up the M5M's position.
	No agenda was the antidote I didn't know I had found.
	And over the next decade, this show helped shape me into who I am today.
	I cannot understate the profound impact you both had on me.
	Thank you so much.
	We have clones, John.
	We are the dolly sheep of podcasters.
	French bulldog karma for my mom Kathy and my girlfriend Samantha and some karma for this torn ACL I'm currently dealing with.
	Love is lit!
	You've got karma.
	Anybody needs that aggravation?
	No, that's horrible.
	A00. While I'm reading this note, why don't you get out a binary calculator and see what this is.
	A00110001 Sauce.
	$333.43 and he's in St.
	Peter's, Missouri.
	He writes, ITM to Lord's Pot, Father and Buzzkill and the rest of the No Agenda, FAMILY, all caps.
	Because the April 3rd show is in Evergreen, I am donating today to wish Dame G33K2 a very happy and special birthday, which will be this Sunday on April 3rd.
	Today's show on the 31st of March, broken down, equals 4 over 3, so numerologically the universe finds a way.
	Huh.
	Okay.
	This guy's a numbers guy.
	My browser is like slowed down really weirdly.
	Let me see if I can find...
	So it's A00110. I think the A has to go off, doesn't it?
	Yeah, I think the A refers to some...
	Maybe this is...
	I don't know.
	A0011. Just go 00110001.
	Yes.
	That's 49 in decimal, 31 in hexadecimal, I don't know, man.
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	It might not have been worth the exercise.
	I'm not sure.
	Okay, now, did you read all the French stuff?
	What French stuff?
	The French stuff.
	With A-O-O-1-1-O-O-O-1 sauce.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Let me read it, because I speak it in French.
	Ah, yes.
	No, I see it.
	I didn't expand the box.
	Please credit this donation to her.
	So it's a switcheroo.
	Yes.
	Her name is Aisha.
	Aisha.
	He wrote it in French here.
	Aisha.
	Yes, I see that now.
	Aisha.
	Je t'aime beaucoup aussi, ma chérie.
	Il y avait, il y a, il au jour, toujours, maintenant, que la liberté est retenue.
	Tu es l'amour de ma vie.
	I know that part.
	You are the love of my life.
	Okay, so switcheroo.
	So all of that...
	Okay, Dame Geek.
	So we do it for Dame Geek squared.
	But...
	Okay.
	All that binary code was for naught.
	I don't know.
	It's going to Dame Geek squared.
	Thank you.

	What?
	Did he just say?
	I think he meant Donald Trump don't trust China as a...
	Oh yeah, DT China asshole.
	Yeah, it's Donald Trump.
	I got that part.
	And then he wants some 420 karma.
	I don't think we have anything specifically for that, but we can certainly hook you up with some of the good stuff.
	Donald Trump don't trust China.
	China is asshole.
	You've got karma.
	I wanted jobs, karma.
	Darn it.

	Sir Russ of Hellgate.
	I see it right here.
	330-333.
	Oh, I got it.
	Keep up the great work.
	KG says, Sir Russ of Hellgate, KG7ZPF73. Nice note, Russ.
	This is the way to do it.
	I don't think we have anything from Simon Palawoda, 33333.
	This is page 5.
	Oh, page 5.
	Do we have a page 5?
	Oh, here it is.
	I got it.
	Yes.
	In the morning, John and Adam, 33333.
	Here's my first.
	This is a very nice card he sent.
	Yes.
	Just my cheesy way of saying thank you.
	Here's my first, hopefully, many executive...
	The scan is weird.
	Executive producer.
	Show credit.
	I want to catch...
	I want to...
	So catch troll.
	I cannot read this.
	Do you have the original there?
	Yeah, I can't read this.
	I went to see each troll achieve.
	That's what he says.
	This value for value of local once.
	It could be maybe local once.
	Local once.
	Oh, at least once.
	Okay, the value for value at least once.
	So the plethora of 33s that have been smacking me in the face this winter cannot be ignored.
	You should read along so you can see what a great job I'm doing.
	You're doing very well.
	To start my 33rd trip around the sun, I would like to say thank you both.
	Thank both of you, as well as Baron Brian of Connecticut, River Valley, for the amazing health karma again back in May, despite a few months in a coma in a hospital.
	No wonder you rise like this.
	I... I have had to skip a show and have caught up through October.
	Oh, okay.
	Please add me to the wine email list.
	The mythical wine email list.
	Yeah, well, you'll get it eventually.
	And Eclipse, he's got Chris is asshole, China is asshole.

	We are July 2021 JRE Converts.
	First time donation.
	Can I get her a de-douching?
	You've been de-douched.
	And also a biscuit on her birthday.
	They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
	And a Jobs Karma coming up as she's been chased by her employer for months with a throbbing syringe and still manages to avoid the jab.
	I'm proud of her.
	We don't agree on everything, but we always agree on no agenda.
	Thanks for making the greatest podcast in the universe.
	And then he has P.S. Boots on the ground.
	I've worked in healthcare staffing, mainly nursing homes, during the last three surges.
	The pattern I've seen is that a month-ish before it gets big on M5M, CMS, the government organization that controls healthcare billed by Medicare and Medicaid, sends out a protocol requiring nursing staff to begin a twice-week mandatory testing.
	All of a sudden, asymptomatic positives start piling in, leading to quarantine staff, leading to staff shortage.
	No one seems to acknowledge that capacity in healthcare is relative to the amount of staff you have.
	Your bed count drops when you lock up all of your nurses and thus capacity becomes overrun.
	Not because of the number of patients, but because you can no longer support the number of beds you could before mandatory testing crept in.
	CMS increased the testing protocol a few weeks ago.
	I predict a media surge is brewing.
	Pay attention.
	These are the tips that are very helpful.
	We've got a lot of stuff.
	And I think that this is true because we have COVID.gov the president just released.
	We have tests to treat.
	And we have the president crying that there's no money to fund all this.
	So yeah, yeah, it would make sense that we get a search.
	It's plenty of money to send a trillion dollars over to Ukraine.
	Yeah, but we don't need that here.
	Alright.
	Next?
	Yes, you're up.
	Dwayne, or possibly Dwayne, but probably Dwayne, 333, and he's in Oregon someplace.
	And jingles, he wants to get faxed through to the head of Hillary Cackle, and no.
	It's time for my annual birthday donation, turning 38 on a show day today, March 31st.
	I've been listening since sometime around show 75 when John casually mentioned it on one of his old Twitch shows that were only interesting because of John.
	Enough with the brown nosing.
	Thank you both for everything.
	Here's to No Agenda Strategies Working.
	What's the noaginous strategy that worked?
	We don't have one.
	This podcast is too important.
	Don't drop that T. Too important.
	Dwayne.
	All right, Dwayne.
	And here's your jingles.
	Get vaccinated.
	No.
	Okay.
	Miles Vernon is in Vancouver, British Columbia, $300.
	I'm presuming those are dollary-do's.
	We do count them for...
	No, we do.
	Regardless, we count them for full.
	Same with Australia and New Zealand.
	I'd like to call out...
	Kynan, you think?
	Kynan...
	Yeah, Kynan.
	Kynan Talt.
	No, it says Tate.
	Oh, Tate.
	Kynan Tate.
	I'm just wary now of people getting us to say names that are stupid, like Ben Dover.
	Kynan Tate, yeah.
	Kynan Tate.
	A Ben Dover.
	Yes, exactly.
	Jingles Trump.
	Oh, call her out as a douchebag.
	All right, Kynan Tate.
	Douchebag!
	Jingles Trump, I'm gonna come.
	Little girl, yay.
	I'm gonna come.
	Yeah!
	Oh, please.
	A brother.
	You sick people!

	Peter Jackson, he's the...
	He's the Lord of the Rings director.
	I think so.
	He's the same guy.
	Yeah, he did the Beatles documentary.
	Oh, that's right.
	That's right.
	Which is on Disney +, which I refuse to get.
	So Peter will be there.
	Yeah.

	I wonder what will happen.
	The minute you say, hey, is this Glinda the Good Bus?
	Partial agenda?
	Boom!
	Black bag on your head.
	You're rousted into the van.
	Do you remember hearing anything on that drive?
	It's like, yeah, yeah, I heard a train.
	That's about it.

	Okay.
	And since we are featuring remixes in the fabritory, any Beatles-related mixes of any kind can be sent to Michelle Joni via Instagram.
	J-O-N-I. That's a mouthful.
	Adam and John, thanks for always replying to my emails.
	You know how to make a guy feel special.
	I promise to never send a full clip without a timestamp again.
	That sounds like something I said.
	No, it's totally.
	Beetle Maniacs, come meet me in Pepperland this weekend.

	Beatley.
	You can read the next few because I'm going to go see what the dog wants.
	You got it.
	Danny Bush.
	This has been asked before.
	We don't have Trudeau's mom that I'm aware of.
	I mean, there's some stuff from her, but there's no jingle.
	So someone's got to send that to me if you have something.
	Screw your freedom and write, write, write, write, write, write, write.
	I think I have the write, write, write.
	Where's the write, write, write?
	We had right, right, right.
	So good, right?
	That's too much right.
	I don't know how many rights there are.
	I'll do my best.
	Chris Hayes record number.
	Oh, it's the Chris Hayes record number saying right.
	Okay, Hayes.
	And again, I can't find it.
	Sorry.
	Respect.
	Oh my goodness.
	How many jingles do you want?
	You can't have that many.
	Respect we much can replace if you can't find.
	Okay.
	Alright.
	Respect.
	It's not respect.
	It's respect.
	See, John just left and I'm a mess now.
	I can't do anything.
	It's not respect we much.
	It's resist we much.
	You're confusing me!
	Oh, brother.
	I don't know what the dog...
	I think the dog just wanted to come into the studio.
	It's alright.
	I'm off the rails here.
	I'm off the rails.
	I noticed.
	It's like, asking for things we don't have is a nightmare for me.
	Yeah.
	It's a nightmare.
	Okay, so you just get what I can find.
	Hello, gentlemen.
	There you go.
	Great deconstruction, as always, and this treasure of 20833 represents half of the remaining account until I hit knighthood.
	We'll 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.
	Oosa!
	Danny Bush.
	Mmm.
	So, so good, right?
	We must and we will much about that be committed.
	There you go.
	Ryan Sharon's next on the list until the dog wants to leave the room.
	$200.01 from San Francisco.
	Another San Franciscan.
	Another Joe Rogan.
	M-ra-mo-no.
	It's Joe...
	Joe Ronamo.
	Joe Ronamo.
	Joe Ronamo, please de-douche.
	You've been de-douched.
	I understand how late this is, but please try to include the clips linked below in Sunday's second half of the show.
	CA is voting on some Californians voting on some of these bills this week, and it seems like nobody even knows.
	Those outside California may think this won't affect them, but if it passes, it could set a precedent for other states.
	And he's got a link to some California bills.
	I'll look them over.
	Adam, I didn't attach the clips to this email because it seems like anything other than a PDF gets filtered out by most servers these days, hence the link.
	I always intended to leave a humorous note when I finally got my producer donation in, but frankly, my amygdala is pretty bad shape right now, in bad shape.
	If you can think of a funny jingle that hasn't been played in a while, that would be great!
	If not, I think it's only appropriate we direct our ire at the California legislature, and they deserve whipping them with the Constitution.
	Love is lit, Ryan.
	Whoop them.
	I think we do whoop them.
	So, I did not get those clips.
	I will run down the ten points.
	I think one of them got voted down the other day.
	This is the quick summary of From our medical doctor, recently retired in California.
	The age of consent to vaccination shall be lowered to 12 years of age without requiring parental consent.
	COVID vaccination shall be mandatory for all schools, public and private, regardless of FDA approval.
	Anyone expressing anti-COVID opinion shall be subject to discipline by the medical board.
	That would go for doctors.
	Police will enforce public health guidelines or lose their funding.
	Schools will be required to create long-term COVID testing plans and report test results.
	No individual organization will be allowed to make public statements the government deems untrue by any means.
	Yeah.
	School personnel shall be authorized to disclose student health information to any third party without consent of the student.
	To which the keeper went, what happened to HIPAA?
	And I went, ha ha ha.
	An immunization tracking system shall be created to give government agents access to records of all persons.
	Proof of vaccination shall be required of all independent contractors and government workers to work in California.
	That's the one I think they voted down.
	And finally, medical boards shall be authorized to launch surprise inspections of doctor's offices and search patient charts without patient consent.
	That's against the law.
	Of course it's against the law.
	It's against federal law.
	California is unlawful.
	Mostly.
	The whole thing.
	The whole state.
	Whoop him, whoop him, whoop him!
	Whoop him with the Constitution!
	Taylor Koss is in Denver, Colorado.
	$200.
	Associate Executive Producership in the bag.
	My name is Taylor, a.k.a.
	Tacos.
	My fiancé, John, and I run the Denver Bi-Weekly Meetups.
	I'm sending this donation to request some karma for John's upcoming episode of the Millennial Media Offensive Podcast, which I've listened to.
	It's quite interesting.
	It will air on No Agenda Stream right after Sunday, April 3rd's show.
	Okay, so that will be after the Best of Show.
	So very good.
	And they'll be live.
	I'm so thankful John hit me in the mouth back around episode 1200.
	It took several road trips and an explanation of the karma process for me to realize you guys weren't total a-holes.
	Just minor.
	I truly thought you were just brushing people's cancer off by saying, well...
	It was minor a-holes.
	Yeah, we were in the minor league a-holes.
	Listen to this, though.
	This is interesting.
	Her perception.
	I truly thought you were just brushing people's cancer off by saying, well, that's your karma.
	Wow, that's interesting, isn't it?
	That's how she took it.
	Then we play an F cancer.
	This is one of those people who takes things.
	It's very common out here.
	You just take everything wrong.
	But she's been saved.
	Yeah, she has been saved.
	But it's taking everything wrong.
	That's what happened with the newsletter art with that woman who calls us racists.
	No, just you.
	She's taking it wrong.
	Yeah, she's taking it wrong.
	You're looking to take it wrong.
	Generally speaking, when you're taking things wrong consistently, you're looking to take things wrong.
	Yeah, well, that's all, yeah.
	It's also bias, I guess.
	Anyway, she continues, can you please de-douche me?
	You've been de-douched.
	Oh, can you call John out for being a douchebag?
	Douchebag!
	He's always supported me and helps me edit my travel blog, thetravelingtacos.com.
	I felt this donation was a way to give back to him to help promote the Millennial Media Offensive.
	He and his partner Dan have worked so hard on their first Baker's Dozen of episodes.
	Everybody go check him out, the Millennial Media Offensive, on any Podcast 2.0 app, and stick around Sunday stream to listen live.
	We have that now in Podcasting 2.0.
	The app will ping you when there's a live episode and you can open up the app and you can listen to the stream live and chat live.
	Can I please have you play John's end-of-show mix, Biden's whisper song, at the end of the show leading into theirs?
	It makes me laugh every time I hear it.
	Thank you, the Traveling Tacos.
	Well, I'm going to play it at the end of today's show, since we won't be here for the next show, and that's all set up with COVID songs, so we'll do that today.
	And thank you very much, Taylor Kost, Traveling Tacos.
	Austin Constable in Orlando, Ontario, Canada.
	I'm sorry.
	Ontario, Ontario, Canada.
	You're not going to read this whole thing.
	200.
	I'm going to see what I can do.
	Have you edited it so you can read it?
	Hi guys, thanks again for everything you do.
	I've been listening for a while, but this is my first time donating, so we should get the de-douching out of the way straight off the bat.
	You've been de-douched.
	I, like many, have not only thoroughly enjoyed, but have also some relied on your commentary to stay sane through this.
	But after donating to both the Convoy GoFundMe and GiveSendGo, only to have both refunded, it only seemed right to donate it to the incredibly fitting best podcast in the universe.
	I'll wear being on that federal watch list as a badge of honor for the rest of my life.
	That being said, I've recently had a very close and unfortunate unhealthy family member get COVID eight weeks ago, and what happened is worth sharing.
	So this is a very long story, but I can go to the next paragraph.
	It's just long.
	This family member is over 60 and had previously been hospitalized for nearly five-plus years ago.
	A year, five plus years ago, for a serious fungal lung infection.
	He recovered with less than half of his lung function and failing kidneys.
	Oh my goodness.
	When his wife told me about his COVID situation, he had already been in the hospital for six weeks.
	When I asked her what they had done early on, it was the usual.
	We were all too used to hearing absolutely nothing until there was respiratory distress.
	That insult to injury, then a speech pathologist decided he should not be fed for five days because of the slight risk he might aspirate a morsel of food.
	His wife was finally open to me explaining to her how much collusion went into demonizing early treatments that could have avoided all of this for her husband.
	She's retired but used to work at a major Canadian university as a clinical research administrator and was only willing to look at complete peer-reviewed studies.
	So she basically schooled her.
	And while at one point...
	Oh my goodness.
	She gave her all the information.
	And...
	I can't quite...
	This is where it gets a little fuzzy.
	I don't know if this information helped her or her husband, but thankfully he's doing much better after being bedridden for seven weeks, but it's also been nice to see that certain reasonable people's opinions can still be changed with reason.
	Regardless, thanks again for everything you do.
	Shout out War Mode and can get a jobs karma for everybody.
	Yes, thank you.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Yay!
	You saw karma.
	Okay.
	Carissa Mulan in Thaxton, Virginia.
	200.
	This donation of 200 brings my fabulous boyfriend Scott Manning into knighthood.
	I donated in honor of his 51st birthday.
	Show date, March 31st.
	He wishes to be dubbed Sir Scott of the Mid-Atlantic Solar Winds and would like to see sweet baby rays and summer sausage at the round table.
	You got it.
	I would like to hear F Cancer on behalf of Scott's sweet sister, Kathy, who will get to see her first granddaughter born on May as long as chemo keeps destroying those damn cancer cells.
	Personally, I want to thank you both for the best podcast in the universe.
	And more specifically, I want to thank Adam for being truly dedicated to the No Agenda Nation and declining irregular spot on Glenn Beck.
	While I regularly question your sanity, I never question your dedication or loyalty to this genuinely ideal community because of actions such as this.
	So in other words...
	Let's go, Brandon.
	So in other words, thank you for not taking the gig.
	You're nuts.
	Do I understand that properly?
	I guess that's what she said, in essence.
	Sweet Baby Ray's, by the way, if you want to make some great barbecue, I would say you can put Sweet Baby Ray's on potpourri.
	And it will make it taste dynamite.
	Thank you very much, Carissa.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	And our final note comes from Rick Zoller, and he wrote a note.
	In the morning, John and Adam, this is $200, our final associate executive producer for today's episode.
	Well, that sad puppy really did the trick.
	Here's another donation for the show.
	This will be our fourth donation, and we're happy to do it.
	Please combine this 200 with our previous donations.
	He has some counting here.
	Toward the damehood of my lovely wife, Patricia.
	Trish.
	Petrat.
	Petrit.
	I trust you will do the math.
	No, we trust you'll do the math.
	That's how it works.
	It's the honor system.
	You let us know when you reach or when she does.
	And we're happy about that.
	Goat karma would be appreciated.
	Thank you for your courage, Rick.
	And very nice little Snoopy, Snoopy stationary.
	We appreciate that.
	Here is some goat karma.
	Thank you.
	You've got karma.
	I believe he drew that, Snoopy.
	And he, we should mention, is in Brighton, Michigan.
	Oh yes, thank you.
	And that's it, our execs and associate execs for episode 1438.
	As John said, thank you.
	Good showing today.
	We do encourage people, we do have a donation segment during the next two shows where we remind you to support because typically if we're not live, then people do tend to forget.
	But we'll be sending out a newsletter promoting these best ofs.
	And I think the Particularly the COVID end of show mix will be of interest to people since I would say 35% of the audience doesn't listen all the way to the end, particularly on the longer shows, but you're really missing out on some dynamite stuff.
	So if anything, it's a promotion to listen all the way to the end of every single episode of the No Agenda show.
	Occasionally, it's remarkable, some of these mixes.
	Yes, yeah.
	I put some in which were great for the lyrics, not necessarily the singing talent.
	Some were concatenated, i.e.
	some were shortened.
	But in general, it's just massively great work.
	These producers just heard, they receive an official credit, the No Agenda producer credit, executive producer for this episode, or associate executive producer.
	You can put these anywhere.
	Put them on your IMDB. Or, is that your dog, or are you playing something?
	That's your dog.
	No, that's the dog.
	Why don't you go deal with the dog and let people know how they too can become executive producers of the No Agenda show.
	Thank you again for your time, your talent, and treasure.
	It is highly appreciated.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	The question burning on everyone's mind is, what did the dog answer when John asked the dog what he wanted?
	The dog wanted...
	I think the dog...
	What did the dog answer?
	To become part of the show, or she wants to go outside, so if you just stop tape for one second, I'll find out for sure.
	So did the dog, what happened with the dog?
	The dog went outside, and the thing is, I think that she wanted to go outside before, during the reads, but heard you struggling with that one note.
	Oh, and she just held it until I was done with that?
	Yeah.
	He's a good dog.
	It's called a pause pause.
	Oh, pause, pause.
	So that was a very long donation segment, which is crazy because it seems like we have so much left to do.
	In particular, we got to do some COVID stuff.
	Yeah.
	COVID clips.
	Yeah, you don't sound very enthusiastic.
	Well, I have a lot of COVID clips, so I'm not unenthusiastic.
	Okay, I have two.
	I just have two.
	And this is the one I wanted to...
	I've been waiting to play this.
	This is from the British Medical Journal, BMJ.
	It's from their very own YouTube channel.
	I just took about a minute of it and tightened it up.
	This is Brooke Jackson, Pfizer whistleblower.
	This is on the British Medical Journal YouTube channel.
	My name is Brooke Jackson.
	I was fired in September of 2020 for being a whistleblower.
	I was working on Pfizer's Phase 3 pivotal trial.
	On their COVID-19 vaccine.
	My first day on the job was the 8th of September.
	And from the very beginning, I noticed irregularities, things that We're questionable.
	I would bring up the concerns to my managers, and it was always, we're understaffed.
	We're really trying hard to make this work.
	At one point, when I was going through emails, There were emails from ICON begging Ventavia to follow up on severe adverse events that had been reported.
	There were several emails about mislabeled specimens, blood specimens, and the nasal swabs.
	There were specimens that were labeled with another participant's information.
	It was a nightmare.
	Yeah, she goes on about samples being left open.
	But the point is, this and other companies, these are the companies that did the clinical trials on behalf of Pfizer.
	And so it's no wonder when they're asked to produce the clinical trial results, they're hemming and hawing because it's a mess.
	And there's adverse events and deaths all over the place.
	In the show notes, I finally have an unredacted copy of that, I guess it's the leaked document.
	But it's atrocious.
	And of course, because the mainstream media is bought and paid for, mainly by pharmaceutical advertisers, you will not hear about the death and destruction that these trials caused.
	It's unbelievable.
	The corruption level is maxed.
	Corruption is out of control.
	And so you've got to hear about it on a podcast.
	Well, not only is it out of control, but besides the fact that they won't talk about any of this stuff, they're still trying to scare us.
	Yeah.
	And listen to this report.
	This is about how deer are getting COVID and it's possible that they can have a...
	Wait, we've done this story five times.
	They keep doing it.
	This is the latest one.
	It's from yesterday.
	Wildlife experts say they're still trying to determine to what extent animals like deer, bear, moose, and wolves are being affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
	They say they found increasing numbers of cases of COVID-19 in deer and other animals and are looking at animals in Minnesota's north woods in hopes of finding some clues.
	Scientists say one concern is the virus that causes COVID-19 could evolve within animal populations, potentially spawning dangerous mutations that then might jump back to people.
	So this was new.
	This is a brand new news report.
	Yep.
	Okay, so now we go back to February of this year, February 3rd.
	I won't play the whole clip, but just for effect.
	Scientists have recently discovered what they are calling a silent outbreak of coronavirus among white-tailed deer.
	Now we go back to November 18, 2021.
	On the medical watch, it's deer hunting season, and COVID is prevalent in white-tailed deer.
	And we go back to four days earlier.
	Oops, hold on a second.
	NPR. Again, this is November of...
	November of 2021.
	Scientists have evidence that SARS-CoV-2 is widely circulating in deer across the U.S. Okay, so what...
	This is pissing me off now.
	Because I actually thought you were going insane?
	Like, he keeps bringing these deer clips back.
	What's wrong with my partner?
	He's in a loop.
	But this is the media.
	There's something they're trying to do with this.
	Hello?
	Yeah, I haven't figured it out.
	I mean, they may hint at it in the last clip, which is saying, well, you know, it's going to pop back out of the deer and there's going to be a new variation.
	Is this so that when the food shortages come, we don't eat the deer?
	Is that what they're trying to do?
	And don't eat the deer!
	I'm just telling you, I just hear these clips.
	I know, I know.
	You're picking it up.
	Over and over again, you're right.
	They've been going on for almost a year, and here it is again.
	No, no, no, two years.
	They did preface this clip that we've been discussing this for a long time.
	Yes.
	I know, but it's pissing me off now.
	Why are they doing this continuously?
	It seems like they're doing it for a reason.
	Is it the same?
	It's not the same report.
	No, it's slightly different.
	Everyone varies a bit.
	But is it the same study they're referencing?
	No.
	I don't know.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Here's a good clip.
	This will be because you've never heard this before.
	Here we go.
	COVID second booster.
	The Biden administration authorized a second COVID booster for people age 50 and older and those who are immunocompromised.
	So if you are eligible, should you get a booster?
	NPR health correspondent Maria Godoy is here to help us think that through.
	Good morning.
	Good morning, Steve.
	Let's start with the officials.
	Why do federal health authorities think this is the time?
	Well, the COVID vaccine booster shots have proven highly effective at preventing severe disease and death, but immunity does wane over time.
	Sure.
	And federal health officials are concerned about people considered to be at highest risk of getting severe COVID. That includes people 12 and up with weakened immune systems.
	It also includes people starting at age 50.
	Officials are recommending a second booster for both these groups if they had their first booster at least four months ago.
	Thanks for that last detail, so I should be thinking about when did I get a booster, how long ago, and trying to remember that.
	So older people are at risk, but why would the dividing line be 50 years old?
	Well, here's Dr.
	Peter Marks of the FDA. We know that people in the age range from about 50 to 65, about a third of them have significant medical comorbidities.
	And by comorbidities, he means conditions like obesity, lung disease, diabetes, which is fairly common in this age group.
	These can raise the risk of getting seriously ill from COVID or even dying.
	Even dying?
	Now, of course, all the shots, the first two shots are going to supposedly keep you from dying and being hospitalized.
	And by the way, you think this was scripted a little bit when you asked her, why is it somebody 50?
	Well, I just so happen to have a clip of this one guy.
	Who happens to have the answer.
	This is like so rehearsed, so scripted.
	It's an embarrassment.
	It's probably paid for by Pfizer because they're marketing this.
	They're marketing the heck out of it.
	Go get your shot.
	And remember when it was all just a funny conspiracy theory, four or five shots?
	So I'd like to welcome the people back who tuned out from the show when we were joking about four or five shots.
	Welcome back.
	We've been expecting you.
	The sick shot will be coming.
	So, this is a story, I clipped this because I never heard this.
	This is, you know about this, listen to this clip and tell me that you heard, maybe you heard this, I sure didn't, military in Utah.
	The final military medical crew in the nation has completed their COVID clinical mission today at the University of Utah Hospital.
	Ivana Martinez from member station KUR in Salt Lake City has details.
	Deploying the military medical team was a part of a federal approach to address the stress from COVID-19 on hospitals.
	A crew of about 20 healthcare workers first arrived at the University Hospital at the start of March.
	Now they returned home.
	They helped clear about a quarter of 500 backlog surgeries.
	Dr.
	Kenzie Graves works at the youth hospital.
	She says now they'll manage the best they can as the team leaves.
	So we've got lots of plans, but what we've learned and how we apply that is what's more important.
	Our nursing leadership has taken some steps to be able to secure the beds that are open and to keep us moving forward.
	So for right now, I feel great.
	The departure comes as the state removes major COVID testing sites.
	Hmm.
	The military was brought in?
	Yeah, yeah.
	We heard about it, but we didn't get much reporting on it.
	Yeah, they were brought in to replace stuff.
	I do have our weekly, what other excuse can we come up with for myocarditis appearing within young people all of a sudden?
	Yeah.
	What have we had so far?
	Well, heart attacks and other heart issues can be the referee whistle if you happen to be a soccer player.
	It can be...
	What other things have we learned about this?
	Oh, they just drop like flies because they're athletes.
	It's a lot of stress on their system.
	We didn't know this, but it's very common amongst young people.
	Yeah, it's common.
	It's very common, very common.
	And let's see, what is the latest reason you can get heart issues?
	Chronic dehydration could increase your risk of heart failure.
	That's the finding from a long-term study by the National Institutes of Health.
	NPR's Ping Wong reports it may be related to having high levels of sodium in your blood.
	In the 1980s, more than 15,000 adults joined a long-term NIH study on heart health.
	Data collected over 25 years show that people who were healthy but dehydrated in midlife had a higher incidence of heart failure later on.
	Not drinking enough water leads to high levels of salt in your blood, which can put added stress on your heart over time.
	Natalia Dimitriva from NIH is lead author on the paper.
	Drinking recommended amount of liquids every day is something very simple that everybody can easily do, and potential benefits are huge.
	She says drinking at least six cups of liquid a day for women and eight cups a day for men could lower your risk of future heart disease.
	The finding is published in the European Heart Journal.
	What I don't understand, I've never heard people saying drink this many cups.
	It used to be ounces.
	You should drink glasses.
	You should say glasses.
	Glasses.
	I thought it would be like, you know, 12-ounce glass of water.
	It's what I remember.
	I just remember glasses.
	Glasses.
	Okay.
	Well, now it's cups.
	But a cup is a specific amount.
	That's eight ounces.
	Well, if...
	But she didn't say...
	Okay.
	A cup.
	Mm-hmm.
	So you have to drink six times 48 ounces?
	Yeah, sounds about right for a whole day, I guess.
	Surprise!
	Well, but if you don't, you're going to die.
	Not from the vaccine or anything.
	You're going to die from severe dehydration.
	That will kill you.
	Just letting you know.
	I never heard this, but I know you're supposed to drink water when you're thirsty.
	It does help.
	It does help.
	I know that you have to drink 48 ounces of water.
	Have you been following the latest FOIA documents that have unearthed some more nastiness?
	No.
	As it turns out, The National Institute of Health was deleting COVID sequences, the OG sequences they had, from their database.
	At the same time, Fauci and Collins were saying that this is impossible.
	This cannot be from a lab.
	This has to be from the wet market.
	And this is a scandal.
	They deleted actual genetic sequences as, you know, like the ones that determined the vaccine, determined the testing protocol.
	Well, the question is indeed for what purpose?
	To cover shit up!
	Cover up what?
	The fact that these sequences are not natural sequences as you would expect from the wet market.
	These sequences show that something was created.
	You mean what the French guy, the French Nobel Prize winner said right off the bat when he saw the original sequences?
	That guy?
	And that's when they started deleting the sequences.
	Nothing to see here.
	Yeah.
	The level of corruption on this whole scam is unbelievable.
	But it's everything.
	That's what's so nuts.
	Everything is corrupt.
	I mean, duh.
	Oh my god, everything's corrupt.
	But you say that for 15 years, and then it's kind of like, you know what?
	We're not just saying this.
	It's true.
	The more internet we got, the more we learned.
	I love it.
	I love it.
	I have a note that I want to read, but it goes along with what's happening in Florida and what's happening with Disney.
	The culture war has now migrated to the state of Florida, and it started, of course, with the Don't Say Gay Bill.
	All right, a controversial bill became law today in Florida.
	The Republican governor signed the measure that bans lessons on sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade.
	Critics call it the don't say gay bill and say it marginalizes LGBTQ plus people.
	Governor Ron DeSantis and other Republicans claim that the law is reasonable.
	I have the NPR report on this.
	They do the same thing.
	You know, remember when the Freedom Ride or whatever it was up in Canada, they kept calling it so-called, so-called.
	Oh yeah, the so-called Freedom Convoy.
	They never do that.
	Everyone has to use don't say gay, don't say gay.
	There's not even the word gay is not even in the bill.
	It's not called the don't say gay bill.
	It should be referred to by its name, not by somebody's, you know, propaganda.
	And NPR emphasizes it, too.
	Listen to this.
	This is the don'ts.
	Of course, I use it.
	Don't say gay one.
	Florida teachers are trying to figure out how the Parental Rights in Education Act, which opponents call the Don't Say Gay Bill, will affect their classrooms.
	Governor Ron DeSantis signed it into law yesterday.
	We will make sure that parents can send their kids to school to get an education, not an indoctrination.
	Thank you.
	The law bans instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity from kindergarten through third grade.
	NPR's Melissa Block reports.
	Here's the question Paula Stevens hears most from her first graders in Clearwater, Florida.
	Spoiler alert, it's not about sexual orientation or gender identity.
	It's...
	Is it snack?
	Stevens is puzzled by the law.
	After all, she says, teaching about sexual orientation and gender identity isn't in the first grade curriculum.
	But in class, they do talk a lot about kids' families, some with two moms or two dads.
	It makes me wonder when I talk about families in my classroom, am I going to be violating this law because the children were having discussions about what their family looks like?
	Yeah.
	Now I cut this short because it goes on and on and on with one teacher after another who they dug up.
	Yeah.
	That's had these complaints.
	And one of them says, what you just heard, another one, a very gay kindergarten teacher says, the kids, I don't know if I can talk to the kids because they come and they ask me how my weekend was.
	And then I have to mention I was with my partner.
	And all of these complaints from all these teachers, including that first one you just heard, I was a kid, I'm a former kid.
	Wait, stop!
	Stop the press!
	No!
	I'm a former kid and I remember some of this stuff.
	I have never in the school yard or any place, or especially in the classroom, asked about people's families.
	How's your family?
	It doesn't happen.
	Kids don't talk about that.
	And kids don't ask their kindergarten teacher.
	You don't go up to the kindergarten teacher and say, how was your weekend?
	That's bullshit!
	Yeah, and notice all the problems they have is about them.
	I heard another teacher saying something similar.
	Well, but, you know, they see me on social media with my partner.
	I mean, how am I going to explain that?
	Don't.
	Just do the...
	I mean, look, I don't need to wade in on this don't say gay...
	It just seems...
	It's logical to me that some things are meant for the home, not for the school.
	But that's really what the core is.
	It's about the power that people want in educating the children.
	And you should note that a lot of Democrats have come out.
	They're going to stand on this like a bunch of idiots.
	They say, education should not be up to the parents.
	Leave it to the professionals.
	That's us.
	Right.
	And that's how they feel.
	And that's a problem that has built up over several decades.
	It's out of control.
	People do not like this.
	Right.
	Teach them how to read it.
	Teach them math.
	Math is racist.
	Yes, you've got to forget about math.
	So the cultural battleground is Florida, and the striking back comes through a leaked Zoom call of a bunch of Disney, some executives, certainly mid to higher level executives in the certainly mid to higher level executives in the company, openly discussing how they want to indoctrinate or how they want to put as much openly discussing how they want to indoctrinate or how they want to put as much what they would mainly call queerness into Disney product as possible.
	And this is being released publicly, not by mistake, obviously.
	So there's a war going on, and I want to play a couple...
	There's a lot of...
	This thing is a treasure trove.
	There's tons, tons of really clippable bites on this.
	You may have seen some.
	So I think I have different ones, mostly.
	But then I also have a note from Ali Jade, the official tranny of the No Agenda show, and she wants to give us a little understanding of the difference between transitioning when she transitioned 10 years ago compared to apparently what seems to be pretty easy these days.
	So we'll start first with Disney's activism partner.
	I don't think she works for Disney, but she was on the call.
	Nadine Smith of Equality Florida.
	And she explains that this is nothing new.
	I mean, obviously, there's been meanies all throughout history.
	But the context is also...
	Who is pushing it, what their record is, and what the history is in Florida.
	You know, you can go back to the 50s to the Johns Committee where the legislature was actively put together a task force whose whole job was to root out civil rights workers and any homosexuals in the university system.
	They destroyed lives.
	Literally, people committed suicide behind the relentless attack.
	And then you have Anita Bryant, and many of us are of an age to remember Anita Bryant's Save Our Children campaign, which was premised on the same ideas that undergird this bill.
	And because of her campaign that equated being gay with being a child predator, And
	we're already seeing that in Texas.
	Are we seeing this?
	We're already seeing this in Texas.
	Criminalizing you for your kids and taking them away from you.
	We're seeing this in Texas.
	Well, you're in Texas.
	Tell me what's going on.
	I don't see it.
	I don't see it.
	I don't know what she's talking about.
	I do not know what she's talking about.
	It's to criminalize you and take your kids.
	And we're already seeing that in Texas.
	So the slippery slope between these ugly messages, you know, emanating from legislative leaders in our state, and then amplified by our governor, whose spokesperson immediately began calling everyone who opposed this bill, groomers, aka pedophiles, I didn't notice that.
	They did use groomers.
	I heard groomers.
	But this is...
	A couple things.
	I wish they would use one acronym because it's becoming very annoying.
	Everyone's just throwing some shit out there, adding community after it.
	But when it comes to, you know, who do we really use?
	We use the G in the LGBTQIPKK +, the gays.
	And gay men, they're tired of being abused like this for the lesbians or the trans.
	It's always, oh, don't say gay.
	Don't say gay.
	They feel, it's almost like Al Sharpton speaks on behalf of all blacks.
	So they're using only gay, not lesbian, only gay.
	And G comes before L. How do they get, how do they pop in the front of the line of that acronym?
	Well, originally, they were in front of the line.
	That's right.
	It used to be GLBT. You had the Gay Lesbian Alliance, the GLA. Yes.
	That's right.
	And then the lesbians pushed out the gays and put themselves in front of the line.
	And started to abuse them.
	Yeah, it's what looks like.
	No, it's totally.
	Now, but this is all good.
	It's for good reason.
	And this is spilling over into the parks, as it should, because, you know, Disney is diverse and they're inclusive.
	And Vivian Ware is, in fact, the manager of diversity and inclusion.
	Last summer, we removed all of the gendered Greetings in relationship to our lives feels.
	So we no longer say ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.
	We've trained, we've provided training for all of our cast members in relationship to that.
	So now they know it's hello everyone or hello friends.
	We are in the process of changing over those relationships.
	We have recorded messages, and so many of you are probably familiar when we brought the fireworks back to the Magic Kingdom.
	We no longer say ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, we say dreamers of all ages.
	And so I love the fact that it's opened up the creativity, the opportunity for our cast members to look at that.
	We have our cast members working with merchandise, working with food and beverage, working with all of our guest-facing areas where perhaps, you know, we want to create that magical moment with our cast members, with our guests.
	And we don't want to just assume because someone might be, in our interpretation, maybe presenting as female, that they may not want to be called princess.
	So let's think differently about how do we really engage with our guests in a meaningful and inclusive way that makes it magical and memorable for everyone.
	Oh, I see the problem.
	Some of our guests may not want to be called princess.
	So we can't say that.
	Let's just say friends.
	I think that's very presumptive.
	I don't like it when Joe Rogan says it either.
	Hello, friends.
	It may not be my friend.
	I appreciate, ladies and gentlemen.
	Okay.
	Anyway.
	So that's what they're doing in the park, but they're also doing it in production.
	And this is Alan March.
	He is on one of the teams, I think, for one of the many animated programs that they're doing.
	And he's really doing as much as he can to accentuate queerness in Disney products.
	Yeah, I've had the privilege of working with the Moon Girl team for the last two years.
	And they've been really open to exploring queer stories and part of I'm on the production side.
	Part of the work that I feel like I can put in is making sure that we take place in modern day New York.
	So making sure that that's like an accurate reflection of New York.
	So I put together like a tracker of our background characters to make sure that we have like the full breadth of expression.
	Do we have, like, douchebag Wall Street people in the background and a-holes like that and criminals and people killing people, mugging, throwing them in front of the train just for some diversity?
	And we got into a very similar conversation, Carrie, of, like, oh, all of our, like, gender non-conforming characters are in the background.
	And so it's not just a numbers game of how many LGBTQ plus characters you have.
	We got...
	The further, the more centered a story is on a character, the more nuanced you get to get into their story.
	And especially with, like, trans characters, you can't see if someone is trans.
	There's not one way to look trans.
	And so kind of the only way to have these, like, canonical trans characters, canonical asexual characters, canonical bisexual characters, is to give them stories where they can, like, be their whole selves.
	Any thoughts before I... That'll be entertaining.
	I think what really has happened, and I'm going to read this Ali Jade note in a moment.
	It has become way too simplified.
	I mean, we're using any old acronym, LGBTQI, CHIA +, there's supposed to be P's in there.
	It's just trans, whatever.
	It's just so easy.
	And it's really accentuated by one of the corporate presidents of Disney.
	This you may have seen, Carrie Burke.
	Who really gets emotional about the many, many characters in their stories and the many more trans characters they want to bring to the forefront because it's so representative of a large group of the population.
	And I'll stop this after the beginning because it's something that irks me about her.
	I'm here as a mother of two queer children, actually.
	One transgender child.
	And one pansexual child.
	And also as a leader.
	And that was the thing that really got me because I have heard so much from so many of my colleagues over the course of the last couple weeks in open forums and through emails and phone conversations and I feel a responsibility to speak, not just for myself, but for them, to all of us.
	We had an open forum last week at 20th where, again, the home of really incredible, groundbreaking LGBTQIA stories over the years where...
	Hold on a second.
	She's LGBTQIA, yet she just told us she has a P, a pansexual child.
	Why didn't she put P in there?
	Is P the new Q or the old Q? Hey, you're talking to the wrong guy.
	She's insincere.
	No, but this is bullshit.
	She is insincere.
	Talk about self-righteous.
	Oh, I've got a genders, you know, a three-year-old who's now a girl who was a boy, and I've got a kid who's pansexual.
	He's probably in grammar school.
	I think when I was in grammar school, I was pansexual.
	Who cares?
	You weren't, until you reach puberty, which they won't even let these kids do, you don't have any sexual desires.
	No.
	Let's read the note from Ali Jade.
	Some information to provide some details of transgender medical practice from 10 years ago when I went through the whole situation in North Carolina.
	So just compare to the cavalierness of these people.
	First, you had to go through therapy and psychological evaluation for an unspecified time where your therapist evaluates you and works with you to conclude if you are suffering from gender identity disorder or have other issues or problems in your life or brain that is making you project a gender issue.
	And this is all in the past.
	If they did find that you were suffering from gender identity disorder and no other factors are present, they would require the patient to start living as the gender the person was going to transition to, along with helping and providing details on how to conform, adopt, to blend in and become a good member of society and the gender you were transitioning to.
	It was highly stressful getting...
	Oh no, it was also highly stressed.
	Getting on hormones does not change all the years of male hormones and puberty.
	Does not reverse hair growth.
	Does not change body structure.
	Does not change voice tone.
	Does not magically make you a woman.
	This was stressed over and over again by the doctor.
	The information about the swimmer, Leah Thomas, not having advantage is a blatant lie.
	Ten years in, and me as a sysadmin, not working out, still I retain some strength and ability.
	They are a college-level athlete.
	They are a college-level athlete, only transitioned for one year.
	They have all their abilities.
	So she's saying, ten years later, I still have dude-like strength.
	So one year into this, no way.
	It does change skin to softer eyesight and how your brain is towards attraction and emotion, body fat distribution, and, everyone's favorite, boobs.
	After all those warnings, they move to the next step.
	So you're not even there yet.
	After working with you and they find out you are not suffering from a gender disorder, identity disorder, they would not provide the letter needed from the next step, which is the endocrinologist.
	The endocrinologist would then also stress what hormones can and cannot do to the human body and the medical risk you will be taking on.
	Then you would be required to come back twice a year for a follow-up, which includes blood tests and mental stability check.
	It was seen as a medical issue with medical treatments, not a social movement.
	Now they do not care about any of these details.
	My doctor of eight years retired and I had to find another, so I went to Planned Parenthood to get my regimen taken over.
	Come to find out, all that is basically gone.
	You answer a few questions from, congratulations, you are a transgender, you are wonderful and perfect.
	I asked further, what all do they require to get hormones?
	Now the answer is, they can do it all.
	They do not require the letters and mental evaluations and therapy anymore.
	It seems no therapy and medical gatekeepers exist, providing assistance to people who may not actually benefit from transition and have other underlying issues that are the solution.
	That's why there's a boom in transgender people.
	So who changed all that?
	What medical meeting did we miss on these types of things for some of the most of us?
	I'm totally okay with anyone changing whatever they want.
	For whatever reason.
	I do not give a shit.
	But when you're talking about kids...
	In the fifth grade?
	Well, thank you.
	When you're indoctrinating children with this...
	And it's one thing, I understand if kids need to identify with who they are or whatever, you know, teachers I'm sure can make exceptions.
	They're talking about this don't say gay is a structural thing that is forbidden now.
	But come on, you can't have both these things happening at the same time.
	We need some nuance and a little hold back on, I mean, I think in California you can get hormone blockers without your parents' permission at Planned Parenthood.
	It's crazy.
	I'll finish this clip of this lady just so we heard her.
	One of our execs stood up and said, you know, we only have a handful of queer leads in our content.
	And I went, what?
	That can't be true.
	And I realized, oh, it actually is true.
	We have many, many, many LGBTQIA characters in our stories, and yet we don't have enough leads.
	You know, in show business, we've always had wonderfully colorful people.
	Gay, trans, whatever.
	Sammy Davis Jr.
	Nuts.
	Little Richard.
	Richard Simmons.
	I mean, we can go on with a million different entertaining, wonderfully colorful people, always recognized as being sexually oriented in different ways than quote-unquote heteronormative people.
	But it wasn't like you were being spoon-fed this to become this way almost by default as a badge of honor spurred on by adults.
	And then blame Texas.
	Spurred on by adults and then blame Texas.
	Just randomly blame Texas.
	That's one thing I'll never do with California.
	They never blame us for anything.
	Ah!
	I'm going to show myself old 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.
	Now we have a long list again here that we're going to rat, rat, rat, rat through it.
	Well, starting with...
	Rochelle Ridgely in Metairie, Louisiana.
	She's at the top of the list with $100.
	Eric Goodmanson in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin comes in with $100.
	Happy birthday, Ariel.
	That's nice.

	Erica Riedeker in Great Falls, Montana, 70.
	And the following people are $70 donors.
	These are all to celebrate my April 5th birthday.
	I thank each and every one of them profusely for helping the show.
	And you'll be sending them all a thank you note, I hear.
	James Shaw starts us off in Prairieville, Louisiana.
	I'm thanking him right now.
	He also says, thanks for what you do, John.
	Someone needs to keep Adam in check.
	Please de-douche me.
	You've been de-douched.
	Sir Craig Porter the Ronin in Carlsbad, California.
	William Torres in Chesterton, Indiana.
	Madeline Lampark in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
	Her name's in all caps for some reason.
	Melkor Vondudecken in Breno, Czechoslovakia?

	Sir Colin, the deaf, dumb, and blind knight in Prineville, Oregon.
	Happy birthday.
	Bobby Brindlehorse in Mount Laurel, New Jersey.

	We appreciate that.
	Adam Eubank, we didn't get his note for the last episode.
	His $50, or his donation sent him over the top.
	He'll be knighted today.
	And he just wanted to say briefly, the community is amazing.
	Y'all don't change.
	You do hard.
	You're doing great.
	Given that the regional Burning Man scene is veered into authoritarian pussdom, vax requirements, testing, etc.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, so much for the hardcore Burning Man scene, huh?
	I'm sure we'll have a great campout.
	It occurred to me that it might be a good idea to put together a multi-day campout in a similar spirit, but without TARDS! A Gitmo Palooza Mega Meetup somewhere in Middle America, if you will.
	Anyone who wants to kick this idea around, hit me up on no agenda.
	Social A.H. Screw it.
	And he wants to be wished, Sir, fuck you, that's why of the wild loose commas.
	It's hot rails and hallucinogens at the round table and a healthy shot of heart karma for my fantastic pop so he can get back to cycling his ass off and F cancer for my friend's sister.
	Happy belated birthday to my bro.
	I'll take acid and F shit up.
	Okay, maybe a little less on the hallucinogens.
	I wonder what the hot trails are.
	There's probably a lot of that going on as well.
	Well, if you thought these donation notes were long, wait until you see the birthdays.
	We're out of control here.
	And if you'd like to help produce the best podcast in the universe, here's a website you can go to.

	Sir Benjamin Naitis, Vicon of San Francisco.
	You heard him come in and top up to another thousand dollars.
	Unbelievable.
	And he will become the Count of San Francisco.
	He said Earl or Count, but I think we decided Count is going to be good for him.
	And thank you very much, Sir Benjamin, for your support of the No Agenda Show.
	Another thousand dollars.
	It keeps us going for a while.
	We do appreciate it.
	And now we have four nights to bring up today.
	It's a pre-vacation nighting.
	Don't we have a dame on there?
	I see no dame.
	What about Mary Brett?
	$21, $143.28 from Louisville, Kentucky.
	I don't know.
	You should talk to the back office about that.
	She was the baronetess, instant baronetess.
	Yep.
	And do we have a name for her?
	No.
	Just Mary Brett.
	Okay.
	It's always so annoying that that doesn't get on the list.
	Yeah, it is.
	Yeah.
	Especially when it's right at the top.
	Yes.
	I think that would make sense.
	Okay, so we do have a Dane.
	Mary Brett.
	We don't have a Dame name, so what are we just going to call?
	Mary is Dame Brett.
	She could have some more information for us, but...
	Hold on a second.
	I've got to paste all this in now.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Dame Brett sounds good to me.
	Look, I've had this blade out here.
	I'm just standing in the wind.
	Could you please pull a blade?
	No, I'm sorry.
	I have my right here.
	Sorry.
	Mary Brett, step on up.
	Along with Andrew Walker, Scott Manning, Josh Gridley, and Adam Eubank.
	All of you have reached that level that brings you to the round table.
	The Knights and Dames are very proud to pronounce Kate.
	These is Sir Big Bro Mario, Knight of NASCARs and Nintendos.
	Sir Scott of the Mid-Atlantic SolarWinds.
	Sir JPEG.
	Sir Fuck You, That's Why of the Wild.
	Loose commas.
	And Dame Baronetis.

	We've got four fresh Goodyears and a can of Sunoco Race Fuels, Sweet Baby Rays, and Summer Sausage, Rubenes, Ruman and Rosé, Vodka Vanilla, Bong Hits and Burbank, Sparkling Sion, Esco, Ginger Ale and Gerbils, Brest Milk and Pavlom, and of course the Mutton and Mead.
	Which is always a favorite.
	And while you're refreshing, you're wetting the whistle with your mead, go to noagendanation.com slash rings and fill out all the information.
	We'll get the Knight and Dame rings to you as soon as possible.
	And thank you again for supporting the best podcast in the universe.
	No Agenda Mead Ups!
	It's like a comedy today!
	Definitely got some meetup business to take care of.
	Really, it's the core of No Agenda Nation.
	It's completely producer-organized and supported.
	It's meetups that happen around the world.
	People get together, and they have community in common, and it seems to be a really good time.
	If you've never been to one, you should definitely check one out.
	If you're in the Netherlands, here's a promo they put together for their Mockingbird meet-up in Tilburg.
	In the bus, bye-bye-bye.
	In the bus, bye-bye-bye.
	I may be honest, ever in your way.
	Are you, are you coming to a trip?
	Strange things would happen here, a stranger would be.
	We met at noon, night and day.
	April 10th. April 10th.
	Nice.
	Friesland.
	No, it's Friesland.
	I'm sorry.
	Not Tilburg.
	Friesland.
	That might have worked better with video.
	I should consider doing that.
	I have no idea exactly what was going on with that.
	We do have some cool meetup reports.
	One from Sao Paulo, Brazil.
	The first meetup was a complete success.
	It was good news.
	Attendance growth is up a phenomenal 100%.
	We absolutely lambasted our previous long-standing attendance record of one.
	Blasting it up to two producers.
	That's right, two producers.
	Brazil is on the map.
	Ah, yes, that's very good.
	Adam, please call out producer Thomas Pears, the text for episode 1425.
	Moving to Brazil, let's get Thomas Pears, maybe, Pears, on board for the next meetup in June.
	An honorary shout-out to Sir Rob Alter, the baron of our great state of Sao Paulo.
	Thanks so much.
	You gave us sanity and peace of mind in the brainwashed times.
	Thank you.
	Local 76, their meetup.
	Yes.
	What's shaking, Gimo Nation?
	This is Sean from Philly, Local 76.
	We're at Philadelphia Brewing Company.
	We've got a group of 20 here today.
	Probably the biggest I've ever hosted, so that's very good.
	Here are the people right now.
	Why do you listen to No Agenda?
	I actually don't listen to No Agenda.
	I listened to a portion of my first podcast on the ride here today, and I loved it.
	Douchebag by Association.
	I listened to it a couple times by myself due to him getting me onto the track, and I found it very interesting, and I love the fact that they cover pretty much everything.
	The best part of the 70s coming back is Disco came back with it.
	Why do you listen to No Agenda?
	Five words or less.
	It makes me feel good.
	Because it makes sure I'll feel good.
	I love Adam.
	No bad words.
	Throw away your television.
	I meet really cool people.
	That's a good reason to like the meetups, I take it.
	Best podcast in the universe.
	John C. Dvorak and Adam Curry.
	My weekly normalcy.
	Because life is a scam.
	No thing better to do.
	My boyfriend listens to it.
	To argue with my son.
	Okay, and the final one from Houston.
	A ver, a ver, a ver.
	Come on in Houston.
	No agenda, mira.
	Hi, this is Dana Sayre.
	We've got our human resources, Maya and Alice, here as well.
	Small but intimate meetup, and we had lots of fun.
	In the morning!
	Hey guys, it's Andrea, and we're having a blast, and we're so excited that COVID's over.
	Yay!
	In the morning, Adam and John.
	We love you.
	Yo soy Rolando Gonzalez.
	Quiero pasar muchas gracias a todo el No Agenda Nation, y super gracias a Adam and John.
	Cute.
	Definitely.
	Alright, here's a couple of dates coming up.
	Let's see, the Portland, Oregon meetup.
	That'll be April 1st, 5.30 at Dick's Primal Burger.
	On the 2nd, Minnesota Nuts in Billings, Montana.
	333 Mountain Divide Bar and Grill.
	And on the 7th, Placerville, California, 6 o'clock.
	And they'll be at the organizer's home, so contact Nelson through noagendameetups.com.
	Noagendameetups.com, it is, again, completely producer-organized.
	It is a sight to behold.
	You need to try one of these out.
	Go ahead, go to noagendameetups.com.
	If you can't find something near you, move to Brazil!
	Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
	You want to be where you want me.
	Triggered all hell's flame You wanna be where everybody feels the same It's like a party - Yeah, yeah.
	It's like a party, man.
	All right, we got to get out of here.
	We have to do wraparounds.
	We got all kinds of work coming up.
	We got all kinds of work still to do today.
	Four-hour shows are fun.
	No.
	Isos.
	I have a couple.
	I have the fake laugh.
	Okay.
	Which was on one of those NPR laughs.
	I also have my, the one I've been using now, I'm going to start using it.
	It should be an evergreen.
	It's the zombie.
	Oh, I heard this in the report.
	That's a zombie.
	Where'd you get that from?
	I can't.
	I got it by searching the sound effects sites.
	I was looking for a groan because of that story about the deer and this zombie clip was on there and I took it.
	Okay.
	It was public domain.
	And now the one I might be good for the show is Wow Cool.
	Wow, that is so cool.
	Hmm.
	That's interesting because I also have a couple of wows.
	Here's what I have.
	Oh wow.
	Which is Chuck Todd.
	I think that's pretty damn good with his oh wow.
	Wow.
	That's a huge problem.
	So we could actually do...
	Wow.
	That is so cool.
	Oh wow.
	Wow.
	That's a huge problem.
	Maybe not.
	I'd like to first do this.
	Probably that's a huge problem.
	It doesn't really fit into the show.
	No, it doesn't.
	It doesn't.
	Let me just hear these.
	Wow, that is so cool.
	Oh, wow.
	I don't know.
	Dude, that is so cool.
	I like it the best.
	And we have used Oh Wow once before.
	Yes, but it's my 70s staple.
	No, this is a better Oh Wow than the one I have, that's for sure.
	But put it aside.
	I'll keep it in abeyance, as you would say.
	In abeyance, yes.
	All right, man, let's get out of here.
	All right.
	We've deconstructed a lot.
	And everyone is much smarter for it.
	You can go ahead and tell all your friends, hello, the Will Smith slap.
	It was the coven.
	We all know what's going on.
	I'm sure you'll get some good looks with that.
	So, end of show mixes.
	Some good ones.
	Amdusius.
	We've got Tom Starkweather, Chad Marbet, and the Traveling Tacos.
	Yes, with the Whispering Joe, by request.
	So we're going to play all of those for you.
	Coming up next on NoAgendaStream.com, we have Unrelenting Pulverized Lemons.
	It's Sir Jean and Darren.
	Doing that show.
	And on Sunday, you will hear the best of end of show mixes COVID style over three and a half hours.
	No, no, no.
	That's Thursday.
	Oh, so Sunday is what?
	Sunday is the rundown of COVID clips for the first few months of COVID. That's what I meant to say.
	Well, enjoy that, everybody.
	Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No.
	6 in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I remain, I'm John C. Vorak.
	We return almost live on Sunday.
	Meet us here for that, will you?
	Until then, adios mofos!
	and such.
	Hey, how you doing, love mama?
	Let me whisper in your ear.
	Tell you something that you might like to hear.
	I wrote the bill.
	On the environment.
	Hey, I'm known to be a real nasty man.
	Just wait till you save my 1.9.
	Wait till you save my 1.9 trillion dollars.
	Like more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more.
	Follow me and more.
	Well, I certainly am not a spokesperson for the Kremlin.
	I cannot speak to what he's in Vladimir Putin's head.
	Is that a crime?
	It's madness.
	Yeah, I agree.
	They're complicating everybody's thoughts.
	You can't speak for the Kremlin, but then you're saying he feels misled by his advisors.
	It seems like there might be something going on here.
	I'm not gonna tell you.
	Why would I tell you?
	You gotta be silly.
	They don't run this state.
	They will never run this state as long as I'm governor.
	We're told Smith could face sanctions for his behavior.
	Then what's getting walked back?
	Only President Biden decides what President Biden is going to say.
	I'm not going to tell you.
	Why would I tell you?
	You've got to be silly.
	I didn't write it, but I could have.
	Look, I think that's every single solitary, serious investigator, including your network and others, have looked at this, have said there's absolutely zero basis to the accusation that I acted any way inappropriately or that my son did.
	Whether it's the crack cocaine, where he's looking at years in federal prison, and he can probably thank his father for some of his sentencing enhancements on crack cocaine, to the money laundering that you see, and the more complex you make, you're gonna see up to 20, 30 years in federal prison.
	So you think that everything that happened was kosher?
	You know there's not one single bit of evidence.
	Not one little tiny bit.
	Is this anything done with harm?
	It's still going to carry significant penalties in the federal system, and there's no law.
	You have to serve almost all of it.
	Well, it's kind of delicious to see them sort of squirming around trying to admit the obvious.
	But, you know, if you're a reader of the New York Post or a viewer of Fox News, you knew this 16 months ago.
	You didn't need the great New York Times to tell you that it was true and that they'd authenticated the emails.
	We already did that.
	But if you're living on the west side of your town...
	There are more deaths reported to VAERS now for these COVID vaccines in 10 months than has ever been reported.
	20 times an increase of endometrial cancers over what I see on an annual basis.
	Miscarriages increased by 300%.
	In 90% autoimmune self-protective.
	Neurological.
	Over a thousand percent increase.
	Heart attack strokes, encephalopathy, heart arrhythmias such as atrial formation.
	The blood drops are not rare.
	62%.
	People in their 20s, people in their 30s and 40s.
	People that wouldn't normally be dying.
	So it's labeled as anxiety, neuropathy, Yanbar Ray syndrome.
	It's very realistically a vaccine injury.
	Does this look like autoimmune?
	Yeah, it does.
	the bodies are piling up.
	The best podcast in the universe!
	MoFo.
