Time Text
Holy mackerel, this guy is that dumb.
Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's Thursday, April 10th, 2022.
This is your award-winning Kimo Nation Media Assassination, episode 1441.
This is No Agenda. - Back in the saddle 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, and despite all predictions, we come back and nothing has changed.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill in the morning.
No, nothing changed.
It's all the same.
Well, you were thinking the economy is going to collapse and you're getting out just in time before the riots in the hill country.
And I'm thinking, man, don't worry about this.
War's over.
And we come back?
Nothing's changed.
Well, unfortunately, I did witness the collapse of society in our week off.
So we're not entirely wrong.
Oh, you witnessed something?
Oh, my goodness.
John, our entire vacation was ruined.
Hold on a second.
Stop.
Stop the presses!
Yes.
What do you mean?
Would you like me to give you a brief rundown?
Hold on.
I'm going to take you slow so I get every bit and morsel of this beauty that's about to unfold.
You are such a mean man sometimes.
So, okay, you're going to take a vacation.
I don't know if we'd ever discuss where.
It doesn't make any difference, but you were headed out.
And plans were made weeks in advance.
Tickets were bought.
You were happy to get out of town.
You were sick of it.
You had to go somewhere.
You had to get out of the hustle and bustle.
Yeah, so...
So you began on Friday as I believe you were going to leave because we had to get these shows together.
And I want to mention to the artists and everybody else, when we do these shows, they're done in advance, doing art form after the last day is useless.
Yeah, it's too bad because a lot of great art came in for the best of.
I did use one piece.
Yeah, I saw it for the newsletter.
A dynamite piece that Roundy did.
Yeah, I saw it.
That was mocking those album covers of all those disco compilations.
The best of.
It was great.
It was great.
And I saw it come in.
I'm like, should I change it?
No, no, no.
It's too much to change.
Yeah, so you are correct.
We had...
I was just a little tired.
We hadn't been away in a year, and with away, that's not on the road doing the show from the road.
Away is unplugging.
That's actually more work.
Yes, away and on the road is a lot more work.
And it's really about the prepping.
It's not so much about the show itself.
I love this.
I can do it with my two hands behind my back.
I've set up studios everywhere.
Not a big deal.
But it's about being able to just unplug.
And I figured, let's go at the beginning of the month.
We all know the airlines.
We have producers who have told us this time and again.
Yes, you have this theory.
No, it's not a theory.
It's been based on fact.
Yes.
So you don't want to go at the end of the month, you want at the beginning of the month, and you did that.
Yes, because...
You're good to go.
Well, and the reason is, in the United States, there is a 100-hour limit for pilots.
You can't fly more than 100 hours in a month.
And if you don't have enough pilots, near the end of the month, you're going to run into some trouble because the pilots are already working more than they typically would.
Cancellations.
I believe the number that we need by 2023, at the end of 2023, is 60,000 additional pilots.
And we can talk about that in bigger detail.
So, yes, so we wanted to get out...
After the last of the months, you'll be able to get somewhere.
Now, just finding a place to go, we just wanted to go to somewhere where there's a beach and people can serve us drinks.
We're not very complicated people.
And Aruba turned out to be a good place for us because it's reasonably easily accessible.
Aruba?
Aruba, yes.
I had never been there.
Is that convenient to Texas?
Yeah, you just fly down to Miami and then you pop over to Aruba.
How far is it from the coast from Miami?
I think it's three hours.
Something like that.
So it's like me going to Hawaii.
Yes, correct.
Yeah, something like that.
And, you know, there's no vaccination requirement in Aruba.
Well, we looked at many places.
We can't even go to Hawaii, for example.
Yeah.
They still have a vaccination.
That's funny.
Yeah.
So yes, we book it in advance, and just so everyone understands, and I think many women are like this, but the keeper certainly, she organizes this.
She's got outfits planned for each day.
You know, the dinner on the beach, the romantic dinner on the beach is planned.
We're going to go to this restaurant, which is away from the hotel, and that, everything.
The couple's massage, the whole thing is always...
Couple's massage.
Oh yeah, oh yeah, baby.
The whole...
With chocolate-covered strawberries.
On you?
The whole thing is always beautifully coordinated.
Up front, this is what she does.
It's fantastic.
And it's American Airlines.
We actually booked the whole thing through American Express Travel.
We specifically did away with all other credit cards, got an American Express for the points.
For our travel.
They also, if you get screwed on it, they make sure you get your money back.
Correct.
And I'm happy I did that because...
So, Thursday we did the show.
Then after the show, I did podcasting 2.0, because that airs typically on Friday.
And so, you know, got to bed around 11 o'clock, got up at 2 to make our 5.25.
2 in the morning?
Yes.
Oh, there you go, right there.
There's your jinx.
5.25 a.m.
flight from San Antonio.
And, you know, we wanted to have at least two hours because we know that it's a Friday and things could be complicated.
You know, there's not only pilot shortages, but there's also shortages of TSA and all kinds of stuff.
There's just people are not working, not enough people.
So we get up at 2.
We're in the car.
Now, five minutes before we get in the car, bing, flight canceled.
The flight to Miami.
Like, oh man...
But we've rebooked you.
Don't worry.
We've rebooked you tomorrow, 6 a.m.
San Antonio to North Carolina.
Then you can get from North Carolina.
There's a flight to Aruba.
Okay.
So we're bummed out.
And I still call American Express Travel.
And their systems were down.
And there's no clarity on anything.
I'm like, all right, I'll just go to sleep.
We'll figure it out tomorrow.
So we get up the next morning.
2 a.m., we're in the car, 3.15, bang!
Your flight to North Carolina is still on, but your flight from North Carolina to Aruba has been canceled.
It's okay, we've rebooked you in two days from now.
So we'll fly you to North Carolina today, you stay in North Carolina two nights, and then you can go to Aruba.
So at this point, we're like...
And again, I'm on with American Express Travel, and we're looking for other...
There's nothing.
There's no way for us to get there.
At this point, with travel, we'd be there for exactly three days.
So it's like, let's just go back to bed.
We'll figure it out.
All right, how about we just...
You're getting a lot of sleep on and off.
No, I'm not getting a lot of sleep.
So I'm very tired of this.
We're both very tired.
Then, okay, why don't we just go somewhere where there's just a beach and people will serve us drinks.
Let's just go to Florida.
What do we have in Florida?
Okay, so we find a Marriott property in Florida, in Fort Lauderdale.
Oh, wait a minute!
This whole thing's a scam to go on the spring break.
Yeah, we checked.
Spring break was over.
And we would be able to get in after spring break before the music festival.
Because no one wants to be around for that.
We just wanted a beach.
Nobody goes to that.
There's too many people.
So, now this flight would be a 7 a.m.
flight from Austin.
Now we're already hearing this.
This is a live look at Austin's airport where the TSA is coping with a staffing shortage resulting in long wait times for travelers, but help is on the way.
15 federal TSA agents will soon be deployed to Austin's airport, bringing the total number of agents to 50.
Plus, the TSA is adding a 15% retention bonus for current screening officers.
The agency is also doubling the number of canine resources at the airport.
Last month, the Austin Airport director sent a letter to a top TSA official saying the airport was dealing with unprecedented passenger volume and needed at least 100 more agents.
So I realize there's going to be an issue with this trip in the morning.
And we've booked now on Southwest.
And Tina did something really smart.
She said, I don't know.
I got a hunch.
I'm just going to book Business Select.
And Business Select is basically your ticket is $200 more expensive.
It's still boarding the way they board.
It's not like any extra seat.
But Austin does have a premium flyer lane.
And so you get priority.
You can go past the typical TSA line.
Now, just to make sure that we're really, really smart, we stay at the airport Hilton the night before.
Ah, smart.
Yeah, just another great night of the vacation.
Airport Hilton.
Airport Hilton.
Then we get to the airport.
It's 4.30.
It is wall-to-wall people, John.
Wall-to-wall.
Now, we check in at the kiosk.
That's easy.
There's just not enough TSA agents, and we're, like, looking around.
The fire marshal...
He's helping to corral people.
It's all hands on deck.
This guy, he looks at Tina.
He looks at me.
He said, can I help you people?
He said, yeah, we're really looking for the priority lane.
He said, no problem.
I'll take you over there.
And he's telling me, like, oh, we're so screwed.
All hands on deck.
Everyone's doing everything they can.
We need, you know, 50 to 100 more TSA agents.
This is a disaster.
It's all, you know, this is the, he's just, he's beside himself.
So we walk past this entire two-hour wait, and we get past the TSA relatively quickly.
So you bought your way in.
Yes, in real American tradition.
Then we get to the hotel.
Oh, my God.
Wait a minute.
He had to go through the TSA line to go to the hotel?
No.
Then we fly.
So the flight is uneventful.
It's two and a half hours.
We're in Fort Lauderdale.
Good.
All right.
So now we check into the hotel.
Beautiful.
Lobby.
Beautiful.
Again, no staff.
So there's cigarette butts everywhere on the balcony, all the chairs.
You're in Port Lauderdale now, you made it there.
Yeah, we made it, but at the hotel.
It's shit.
Windows are cracked, there's holes in the sheets.
The only redeeming quality is the staff that was there were really doing their best.
And so this is...
Now this is just...
You sit at the pool, which is all grubby and there's big pieces of cement of cracked in the pool.
Oh, don't worry.
We're doing a $2 million renovation next year.
And there's no one to serve drinks.
You've got to go to the bar.
And everything is expensive.
It's unbelievably expensive.
Oh, they jacked the price up for you suckers.
That's funny.
Everything's expensive.
So we are just...
We're real...
So the first day, we're at the pool, and I'm always careful.
I know that I can burn, so I'm under the parasol, the sun reflecting off the water, and we're trying to get into our vibe.
We're trying, like, okay, I'm going to have the Irish coffee this morning, then we're going to have a bottle of rosé, and we're just going to chill.
And we had, because we had nothing better to do, we call up the Horowitz's.
Say, hey, you guys in town, let's have dinner tonight.
Great, we'll take you to the Yacht Club.
So we're out by the pool drinking.
I'm a little, you know, we're annoyed by the whole situation.
And then we get to the yacht club and Andrew Horowitz, he's showing us the whole place and all these cool things.
And I went from hot outside to this really air-conditioned environment.
And all of a sudden I got what some would describe basically as heat stroke.
I was completely dehydrated.
I had horrible heartburn.
I couldn't eat.
I'm melting down on the spot.
I mean, I almost died.
All night long, I'm in agony.
So this whole thing is a mess.
And I said, okay, what can we do?
Well, why don't we just turn this into a business trip and I'll go talk at the Bitcoin 22 2022 conference and we'll deduct all of this horrible crap that we just went through.
So that was a plus.
And I went and I spoke on a panel with Max Keiser and then the next day we came home.
So I'm more tired now than before we left.
Well, while you were gone, I slept in the whole week.
Yeah, I know.
You didn't even do the show with, you didn't even do DH Unplugged.
Nope.
I had a big party, a bunch of birthday parties here and there.
JC made a big meal at his house.
Eric was down with the kids and Dee.
Yeah, we just partied and I slept all the time.
It was fantastic.
It was great.
I'm very happy for you.
And did you get any nice gifts for your 70th birthday?
I got a lot of gifts, yeah.
Do you want to tell us about any of them?
A lot of them.
Mimi got me like a bunch of crazy foodstuffs.
In fact, I've had to freeze a lot of it.
Including a yak roast and a ground yak.
There's a bunch of yak purveyors in this country, by the way.
Ground yak?
Yeah, I got three pounds of ground yak.
And it turns out that we got our yak from Montana.
She had it shipped.
The famous Montana yak.
Well, I didn't know that Montana was big on yaks.
Yeah.
Explore the yaks.
Why yak?
I got yak facts.
I got a whole book on them.
This guy was a talkative character.
He says the real yak growers are all in Texas.
Oh, I believe it in a heartbeat.
Anything that can grow in Texas will grow.
Texas water buffalo, by the way, also, in fact, there is a buffalo mozzarella factory.
I think it might even be in Austin.
Mmm.
It's either in Austin or in Dallas.
I'm not sure.
I bought it before.
It's an excellent buffalo mozzarella, which has got a different ratio of fat to water, and it makes the mozzarella.
The Italians only use water buffalo for real mozzarella.
The Texans do it.
They make it the real deal.
And it's tasty.
It's very tasty.
Yes.
And yeah, there's a bunch of stuff like that.
Also, she's been putting together this huge mailing list for the egg book.
And so she found some purveyors of venison and elk.
I got a bunch of that.
And wild boar, ground boar.
How does that overlap with eggs?
No, she's putting the manliness together of likely customers.
Oh, okay.
Farmers.
I also got some of these.
So yak people are potential egg people?
They're potential buyers.
They're all land people.
They have chickens.
They have chickens.
They got too many eggs.
So also I got a couple of these.
Americans make a, there's a couple of companies.
I don't have their names, unfortunately, right in front of me, but there's two of them that are famous for their cast iron skillets.
And they're overpriced, I think, because you can get a good antique skillet.
But there's these two of them.
I'll get the names because one of these companies, I don't know what they're doing, but whatever their iron is to make the skillet, it's unbelievable.
Hmm.
It heats up and stays hot.
You've got to season it first.
It's almost pre-seasoned.
It's so slippery, this cast iron.
It's astonishing.
Nice.
And how old is it?
How old is it?
Is it a new one or is it old?
No, these are brand new.
This is a new company.
Two new companies that are competing with each other making this high-end cast iron skillet.
I'll bet you this costs 500 bucks.
I don't think it's that much, but it's more than I would spend.
It's more than I would spend.
Cast iron, if you get it from Williams-Sonoma, it's already $200, $300.
And then it's coming from China.
And it's from China.
It's coming from China.
Most of their stuff is not from China.
I'm telling you, this...
Okay, I'll get the brands.
This one company, I don't care what it costs, you've got to get these bands.
They're unbelievable.
It's almost like you have to get the Raspberry Pi keyboard.
Some products you just need to buy.
So, things like that.
I got a bunch of gifts.
And, yeah, I just lounged around.
It was great.
So, stepping back a little bit, yes, there were some...
Things kind of stayed the same.
But, as we were...
I guess kind of anticipating COVID is coming back.
The strategy seems to be to convince everybody that you still need to get vaccinated to prevent hospitalization and getting really sick.
And test to treat everywhere.
You know, to treat you with other crap.
Mackenzie Kelly, who was a councilwoman in Austin, a No Agenda producer, she just threw a proposal out of Austin City Council.
The proposal was $10 million to promote COVID vaccination for the next five years.
So that tells you that there's a big program to continue this...
Whatever the end goal is, you know, our friends who have a testing company said, no, this is not going to end.
Testing is going to be with us.
Testing to treat, testing for all kinds of things.
And, of course, new variants.
All right, Dr.
Ashton, BA2, we've been talking about that, but there is another hybrid variant.
That's correct.
And I want to really emphasize that as we hear about these new variants, it's really important that we do not turn a deaf ear to them.
Not every variant is a cause for alarm, but we do need to know what's emerging because they will continue to emerge.
This latest one is called XE. It's first detected in the United Kingdom back in mid-January.
Whatever you do, don't call it G. They just did XE instead of XI. Yeah.
Yeah, but AXE is also something a car brand would use.
Oh, yeah, of course.
Extra luxury or something like that.
What happened to all the Alpha, Beta, Omega?
In the United Kingdom back in mid-January, it is actually a virus made up of Omicron and the Omicron virus.
Sub-variant, BA2. It is too soon, too early to fully determine its transmissibility, although it does appear to be more transmissible than the other two Omicron variants.
It's too soon to tell whether it evades our immune, you know, vaccine protection or natural immunity, and it is too soon to tell its severity.
It has not yet been identified in the U.S. officially, but the assumption is that if it's in the U.K., it is likely here, although not in high number.
But when is it of concern?
When does a variant graduate today?
When the World Health Organization deems it to be generally more clinically severe, and we have not seen that yet.
Gotcha.
All right.
Thank you very much, Dr.
Jen.
Yeah, so this is...
Dr.
Death, is that what she said?
Dr.
Jen, I think.
That's Dr.
Jen Ashton from ABC. And I'm very, very appreciative.
The clip custodian came back from vacation and caught a couple of these, the mainstreamers, because there's no way I could catch any of these clips.
And they are pushing.
They're pushing real hard, CBS. Some are referring to this case rise as America's first, so what, COVID wave.
How much of a threat is this variant, and is the country prepared?
Yeah.
It's a threat, but the good is we're learning to live with it rather than hide from it.
With the combination of vaccines and immunity from prior exposure, very few people are being hospitalized.
So there are people still at risk, and those people, if any symptoms are exposed, need to be tested because we do have Paxlovid, which is a treatment that can prevent hospitalization.
But I think we're doing well so far in terms of living with this virus.
So this is going to be it.
We're going to live with this virus.
And in order to live with this virus, you're still going to need your vaccinations, which will be annual.
There's some proof of that coming.
And you need to be able to test in certain situations.
But we'll be living with the virus.
Should people consider getting another booster shot to protect themselves specifically against this new sub-variant?
Well, the second booster shot for people 50 years and older is out.
And it does significantly raise immunity with no downside.
It's out, yeah.
And so I do think...
It's like, hey, the Houston have said it just dropped.
Like I do an album release.
It's out, man.
It's out.
Yeah, it drops.
It does significantly raise immunity with no downside.
And so I do think if anybody is four to five months out of their last booster shot, it's certainly something to consider.
Dramatically will increase that immunity, which will prevent you from getting seriously ill, but also, in many cases, prevent infection at all.
So, that's the marketing team because, of course, all television these days is bought and paid for by pharmaceutical advertising.
Pfizer.
Well, let's go to the actual strategy.
And if you want it, it's not a secret.
Scott Gottlieb, former FDA administrator.
Pfizer.
Board member of Pfizer.
On CNBC, the money channel where they kind of have to tell the truth.
Let's see what is on deck.
Dr.
Ghalib, I want to take the story back to the U.S. because the other thing that's happening is we have seen an increase.
I don't want to say spike, but an increase, at least in the Northeast, and you're starting to see it elsewhere.
This is a lie, I think, this increase.
I don't want to say a spike.
It's an increase.
Have you seen any increased data?
I don't see any bodies piling up.
Exactly.
There's nothing going on.
...that have gotten COVID, Omicron, in the past couple of weeks, but the prevalence is getting there.
And the question is, is there something we should be doing about it?
Well, look, I think the spread right now from BA2 is largely confined to the Northeast, probably the Mid-Atlantic, and maybe Florida as well, to some degree.
There's a surge underway.
There's no question about it.
No question!
Did you get it in Florida?
We just got out before the surge.
It's underway.
We were so lucky.
The surge was just...
We saw this cloud.
The surge is coming.
Let's go.
Well, to some degree.
There's a surge underway.
There's no question about it.
And we're not picking up cases because most people are testing at home, not reporting the cases.
I think what we need to watch is hospitalization.
Oh, okay.
So the case number count comes from numbers they don't have because people are...
I think people are testing at home.
So it's got to be high.
This is a lie.
Nobody's testing at home.
I mean, yeah, you test at home, I guess, if you're freaky.
Yeah.
But I've got these tests.
I haven't used them.
I'm not going to use them.
No, of course not.
Why would I? What does it make?
If I get the sniffles and I'm going to get over it, why do I have to test?
The idea, the programming is you test...
When you get the sniffles, you test, and then you immediately are to go get your Plexovid pills, your Pfizer pills.
This is all to get you to take more medication you probably don't need.
...picking up cases because most people are testing at home, not reporting the cases.
I think what we need to watch is hospitalizations.
We haven't really seen them go up.
We know it's a lagging indicator.
We've seen some indication of rising hospitalizations in New York, but off a very low baseline.
It's quite possible that we'll have this spread, we'll endure this surge, and I don't think this is going to last much longer.
I think we're well into this right now, and as the weather warms, this will start to abate.
I thought at the beginning they indicated it wasn't yet a surge, but now it's a surge.
No, we're well into it.
We're into a surge, but we didn't have a surge.
But now we've got a surge.
Why is this guy on the air constantly?
Get rid of him.
What is wrong with these networks?
Can't they find anybody else to talk?
They have to maintain the advertising revenue and the stock price.
That's why he's on the air.
And he's manifesting this.
So wait, what you're telling me is that Pfizer advertises so much, because everything's brought to you by Pfizer, that they're demanding they put...
Are you going to have a guest today on the show about the upcoming surge?
Well, we want you to put Gottlieb on, okay?
Sure, whatever you say, boss.
Yeah, I would say that's pretty accurate.
We've both worked in mainstream television.
I'd say that would make sense.
It's not quite as blatant.
It would be like, yeah, we really want Dr.
Scott Gottlieb to do this, okay?
That's who you're getting for the interview, okay?
That's how it goes.
Sure.
This surge.
Actually, you should do it right.
It's okay.
Okay.
This is going to last much longer.
I think we're well into this right now.
And as the weather warms, this will start to abate.
But it could be that we endure this surge without seeing hospitalizations go up measurably at all.
And that's because, in part, the people who are getting infected.
Right now with BA2 are people who weren't infected with Omicron, with BA1. And a lot of them weren't infected because they were taking steps to prevent themselves from being infected.
And so you've got to surmise that someone who's so far been able to protect themselves from infection...
Hold on, stop, stop.
So the original Omicron has now been renamed BA1? Yes, that's BA1. BA2 was just kind of around for a day or two.
Everyone realized that was shitty marketing.
So now they took the BA1, the BA2, the Omicron and call it XE. John, it's lies.
I mean, sure, they created something in vitro in a lab.
It's XE. Oh, look, it's horrible.
People get more sick from listening to this from the virus itself, in my medical opinion.
Infected with Omicron, with BA1. And a lot of them weren't infected because they were taking steps to prevent themselves from being infected.
And so you've got to surmise that someone who's so far been able to protect themselves from infection is likely to be someone who is exercising caution.
They're likely to be someone who is vaccinated.
They're likely to be someone who tests early.
They're likely to be someone who seeks out the therapeutics.
They're going to be a more vigilant patient.
That's not universally true, but I think on the whole, the people who are getting infected are people who have sheltered themselves to date.
One of the trolls just posted something interesting.
XE. XE is the variant, this virus variant.
What do you think will be next?
.exe?
That's cute.
I've got a personal question on behalf of the Sorkin family.
Actually, on behalf of my parents, obviously over the age of 50 years old.
Oh, Sorkin.
Oh, yeah.
Sorkin.
Yeah, he's such a star.
They have the opportunity to get the booster.
This would be the second booster.
And there are some doctors that are saying that you might want to wait on the second booster if you think you want to be more protected come fall.
Those doctors are crazy.
Or do you imagine there's going to be a third booster?
What do you think his answer is?
If you have the opportunity to get such a shot, since we know it works and it's safe and effective, you should definitely get it.
If there's a third booster, it's probably going to be recommended too.
Let's go to the videotape.
Look, I think this is going to be an annual vaccine.
I think we're going to get away from the lexicon of calling these subsequent doses boosters, and this will settle into an annual pattern.
I think this vaccine right now, the one that we're using, provides about six months of protection against Omicron.
Remember, we're three or four variants removed from the variant on which this vaccine was based.
And so if you want to be up to date, if you want to have maximal protection, you're someone who's vulnerable, I would get the booster.
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah, get it now!
Expectation that you're probably going to get another dose heading into the fall.
It may be an Omicron-specific vaccine pending the results of those vaccines.
Moderna and Pfizer, as you know, are both developing Omicron-specific vaccines.
I think once we get out of this pandemic pattern where there's continuous spread all year round and we settle into a more seasonal pattern, and I think this year really will be the year in which we do that, this will become an annual vaccine because we'll only need to really contend with this.
Do you think he can...
Press the point, annual vaccine enough in this 60 seconds?
Every year, annual vaccine, annual vaccine!
It's in the fall and the winter, so you'll get here.
He's left the door open to any journalist who's actually listening to this maniac for a great question.
I'll tell you what it is.
And you'll be protected for at least six months, hopefully with reformulated vaccines for longer than that.
And it will take you through the fall and the winter, much like the flu vaccine does.
The only reason we've been getting these boosters is because there's been continuous spread.
Now, you already heard Andrew Ross Sorkin getting ready for what I would presume would be a great question.
I think the question was pre-answered in his initial thing.
That's why I wanted to listen to the whole clip.
Because he makes the claim that the first vaccines, the one that everyone got their one-two shots of, were formulated for the original virus, and they're no good.
And now he's saying reformulate it.
It still opens the door to a question, which is how does this reformulation work?
And is it like the flu where you kind of guess what's coming?
Or how's it going to be?
Which would be kind of interesting.
It would be interesting to answer that.
Now, do you think he would answer that with great question?
He might.
What is the status of these new Omicron-specific vaccines, and where are we in terms of the testing on that, and when will we know?
Yeah, there should be some initial data hopefully this month from Pfizer with more data to follow in May.
The company's already talked about that publicly.
I don't know what the update is from Moderna, but we should be starting to see the readout from these trials pretty soon and get an indication of how well these Omicron-specific vaccines work.
You know, I'm hopeful that a vaccine that's engineered, these platforms are well understood at this point, and so I'm hopeful that a vaccine that's specifically engineered against the variant of concern, the prevalent variant, is going to provide more protection against that variant, and hopefully protect well against the other variants as well.
So I think if that's true, the data's strong, I think at least some portion of the population is likely to get a recommendation for an Omicron-specific vaccine, if in fact you're seeing that vaccine provide more protection to people who receive it.
Yeah, blah, blah, blah.
This is all about mRNA technology.
So your annual flu shot, like a flu shot, your annual shot will be, of course, tailored for the variant of concern.
I don't even think they're talking about COVID anymore.
Anything of concern that's out there, of concern.
You probably want that added to your annual mRNA shot, which will keep you completely healthy.
Your immune system will be great.
You have to do it twice a year, and so if we get another variant of concern during the summer months, you'll probably have to have another...
We won't call it booster.
We'll just call it a top-up.
And when you look at the...
The entire landscape of vaccines that are being developed, the Gates Foundation has been developing vaccines for H5N1. H5N1, we know because that's bird flu.
We've had the bird flu scares before.
But why would Bill Gates be interested in a vaccine for birds, for bird flu?
The only reason I know a little bit more about it is because we have bird flu in the United States and over a million and a half chickens have been culled.
That means killed because they had bird flu.
How do we know they had bird flu?
This is the new kicker of the new age.
They are using the gold standard to test chickens for bird flu.
You know what that gold standard is?
PCR test.
What?
PCR test.
Yeah, that's what I was trying to come up with.
So you can spin up the cycles and you can make it as bad as you want.
These chickens may not even have bird flu for all we know.
But no, let's go and cull them.
Oh yes, kill all chickens.
There's a war on chicken.
We talked about this years ago.
Oh my goodness.
I bet we still have the jingle.
Hold on.
War on...
Uh, yes, indeed, we do.
The war on chicken.
Holy crap, how long have we been doing that?
We've been doing that since.
Well, they've been out in the war.
I mean, this is part of the whole vegan...
No, it's part of the Great Reset.
No, it's part of the Great Reset.
You get other people off the beef, you start eating bugs, then you go after the chickens.
Now, check this out.
Redfield, the former CDC director, the guy who kind of went rogue, Remember that?
The bald-headed guy?
Before we go off to deep in here, I had a COVID clip.
Well, no, this is a part of it.
This is a part of the chicken story.
No, I mean, it was pre-chicken, but okay.
Let me finish this.
It's important.
Bill Gates is making H5N1 vaccines.
We're testing chickens with PCR tests and claiming that they need to be killed.
It's bullcrap.
Bird flu.
I've been in bird flu.
Unless they're coming and falling out of the air.
I was in Belgium when they had bird flu and they were culling birds everywhere because they don't want it to spread.
I think it's just price management of chicken, personally, and maybe even intentional.
Chicken's pretty cheap meat.
Yeah.
So if you take away chickens, the price will go up.
It doesn't matter.
It has to go up.
The former director of CDC just last week had this to say about H5N1. Yeah, I think we have to recognize, I've always said that I think the COVID pandemic was a wake-up call.
I don't believe it's the great pandemic.
I believe the great pandemic is still in the future, and that's going to be a bird flu pandemic for man.
It's going to have significant mortality in the 10 to 50 percent range.
It's going to be trouble, and we should get prepared for it.
I do believe that the pandemic risk...
Is a greater risk of the national security of the United States than Korea, China, Russia, Iran.
And we ought to start investing proportional to that national security risk that we're prepared.
Of course.
Because he wants more money.
Of course we're not all going to die from bird flu, but they're going to scare us into it.
All the signals are there.
When the PCR testing of chicken showed up, I was done.
All right, that's what they're going to do next.
They love scamming us.
In China, just briefly...
Well, I have a clip of the China.
Oh, yeah.
Let's do that because this is nuts.
Because there's a long action in China.
Yes.
And I still don't quite understand what they're trying to do in China unless it's just the screw with the supply chain to weaken us.
Yep.
And they're doing a good job of it.
This is the COVID Shanghai and Al Jazeera.
Now the city of Shanghai will start lifting a strict lockdown in communities that report no COVID-19 cases within two weeks after another round of mass testing.
Around 26 million residents have been under lockdown since March the 28th following an outbreak.
Shanghai reported about 23,000 infections on Saturday.
Most of them were asymptomatic.
Now dozens of medical volunteers have been brought in to the city to help with mass testing.
From what I understand, there are millions of people in, like, centers that have been locked down in the center, and they bring food in once a day, or people can only order food to be brought in.
The children are separated from the parents, and all indoor pets are being killed.
Yeah, they're killing pets left and right.
Predictive.
People are irked about it.
The food is coming in rotten.
It's like you're a prisoner in a lousy prison.
And I don't understand how the Chinese people can put up with this like this.
There's 26 million people locked down right now.
There's a video, which I was just sent this morning from Shanghai, and it shows a vaccine passport check.
And it's on a street, and all these Chinese citizens are kneeling.
They're kneeling on the sidewalk, holding up their phone so that their QR code and proof of vaccination can be scanned.
And, you know, these, like, Nazi guys in hazmat suits, you know, slapping them around, as the Chinese do.
It's like, that's the future.
Kneel.
Kneel and show me your...
Not just show me your papers.
Kneel and show me your papers.
You sure this wasn't staged?
I'm not sure it wasn't staged.
Of course I'm not sure.
It looked pretty damn real.
I have a nose.
So...
And why would you even question it?
The Chinese are crazy.
They are crazy.
They're crazy.
And this is a good...
This lockdown of Shanghai is a good example.
How about killing the pets?
Oh yeah, and Mimi's been following the pet killing.
Which we predicted almost two years ago this was going to happen.
They've been hammering him, talking about cast iron pots.
With a cast iron pan, they just hammer the dog until he's dead.
Oh no!
Yeah!
Excellent.
And so the Chinese government, because apparently a whole bunch of people got pissed off about these guys clubbing these dogs.
You think?
With the cast iron pans.
And so the Chinese government said, oh, we have to retrain our people.
They're doing it wrong.
They're not hitting them right.
Yeah.
You're supposed to shoot him.
I don't know what to...
Waste of bullet.
Well, you know, ultimately, the Chinese can just kill their own pets and eat them.
That seems to be the strategy.
Yeah, but look, if they're getting rotten...
If they're getting rotten food, hey, you know, at a certain point, everyone would do that.
If your family's hungry, come here, Phoebe.
Daddy doesn't mean it.
Ugh.
So, you know, this is all so disappointing.
And it's just getting ratcheted up and no one's paying attention.
They also have new ICD-10 codes.
You know, these are the billing codes that we've been looking at or we looked at probably more than a year and a half ago.
Oh, no, it was at least five years ago.
No, no, no, no.
This is COVID billing codes.
Oh, the COVID codes.
Yeah, that's where you make all the extra money.
Yeah.
So they have new codes.
Introduction of Fostamatinib into mouth and pharynx.
This is all treatments.
So Fostamatinib.
I don't know what it is.
They can give that into the upper GI, gastrointestinal tract.
Just a probe.
Is that a probe?
Stick it in.
That's good for five bucks.
Yes.
Introduction of tixagamavimab and silagamavimab.
Monoclonal.
Complain about my butchering names.
Monoclonal antibody into muscle.
There's a couple grand.
Oh yeah.
Introduction of COVID-19 vaccine dose 3 into subcutaneous tissue.
COVID-19 vaccine booster into subcutaneous tissue.
COVID-19 vaccine dose 3 into muscle.
And COVID-19 vaccine booster into muscle.
So they're doing it now.
What is the difference between muscle and subcutaneous tissue?
Well, I think when they shoot it into muscles, it's subcutaneous.
I think it's just kind of at an angle.
I think it's just kind of into the skin.
Well, there's two different procedures according to these codes.
Well, I think it's all disgusting.
Yes.
It's quite disturbing.
Yeah.
I understand that they were getting money if one of the reasons I kept the doctor saying, did you get a shot?
You should get a shot.
Yeah, that's marketing.
You get paid for that, just for saying that.
You get paid.
Yeah, you get paid money to do that.
This is our medical system.
At Bitcoin 2022...
You know those little counters these guys have on their belts?
They used to click, click, click.
You'd click away.
I think it's like the doctors have this.
They're clicking and clicking.
Every time they click, it's another $10.
No, it's the administrators, not the doctors.
Well, somebody's clicking.
So I was at Bitcoin 2022 and people said, hey, you should come visit us here and come to Tel Aviv and visit us there.
I'm like, I can't go, man.
Go to Tel Aviv, you can't even get to Aruba.
Right.
That's exactly what I said.
And what came back was, hey, man, everybody here has fake vaccine passports.
We all got into America on fake vaccine passports.
And I'm like, yeah, I'm not going to do that.
But I did read this interesting article in the Chicago Tribune.
There was a German guy who was selling vaccine cards.
And you know how he got the vaccination cards?
By getting over 90 COVID shots himself.
Each one was for a separate person.
He just kept taking the shot.
That's an entrepreneur.
Right?
Right.
Well, I suppose, you know, I do have a friend, my old producer at the Tech TV that got the shot.
She had, both shots had no swelling, no pain, no headache, no nothing.
And I suppose there are people out there that have absolutely zero, this shot does nothing to them.
Nothing for them, yeah.
Yeah, take 90 of them.
I got a brief boots-on-the-ground report from Roland in Germany.
You liked his previous report, so he's giving us a mini one before he gives an updated one.
He says two things are very current right now.
Germany's parliament voted against mandatory vaccination on Thursday.
What they initially wanted was vaccination mandatory for anyone over 18.
Then it became anyone over 50.
And then they tried everyone over 60, and it failed.
Meanwhile, they of course are warning the next wave will be coming.
And today, and I don't know if we need to transition.
Hold on a second.
I think we have to stop.
The Germans were the ones hardest hit by the mandates and the shutdowns.
And I think that this is a grand experiment because every little area is done slightly differently.
It's almost though it's a test.
Yeah.
And I think the Germans could only take so much of it.
And I think that they're at the limit.
So they wouldn't go with the vaccination mandates because they're just not going to put up with it anymore.
They've already put up with enough.
Yeah, not this time.
Remember, in Europe, they had the Irish vote twice, the French vote twice.
You voted wrong.
We'll see.
For now.
We'll see.
This was interesting.
Yesterday, Saturday, the largest German TV news show, which I think is Tagesschau, has started featuring subtitles in Ukrainian for the Ukrainian refugees.
That's interesting.
Wow.
Is it that many refugees, or is this virtue signaling?
A combination of both, I guess.
Do you have any more COVID? Because I'm ready to move on.
I had the one COVID clip.
I wasn't going to talk about COVID. I loaded up on Ukraine.
Yeah, Ukraine is...
They've also loaded up on some other stuff you might want to just run over.
Okay.
These worldwide protests that our American is not covering.
I know.
There's interesting things happening.
It's like coups are taking place.
We have a big election in France.
Well, let's start with Sri Lanka protests.
There's a theme to all these protests, by the way.
Let's replace Sri Lanka protests.
Sri Lanka has seen its largest protests since the start of the country's economic crisis.
Tens of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of Colombo demanding that President Gautabaya Rajapaksa resign.
Manel Fernandez has more.
Angry, frustrated and desperate, protesters surround the president's office in Colombo under the eyes of the police.
Sri Lanka is facing its worst economic crisis in decades.
All Saturday, the protesters kept coming, most of them young people, in what's reported to be the biggest protest over the crisis to date.
They are public servants, so we are here to say that our voices need to be heard and it needs to be respected and this crisis needs to end now because it has gone up to the limit that where people cannot bear anymore.
The crowds came from all of Sri Lanka's diverse communities.
This poster reads, Give our stolen money back.
And this says, Corrupt rulers are playing with our future.
Here, the nine seconds really summarizes this Sri Lanka.
This is this part two summary.
This is what's really going on in every...
I could play...
I've got maybe another one from Peru.
But everywhere around the world this is going on, and this summary sums it up.
In recent weeks, the price of essential goods rocketed, and cooking gas and fuel became scarce.
Power cuts last up to 13 hours.
Yeah, yeah.
Inflation and energy.
Everywhere you go, inflation and energy.
This is thanks to us largely, but let's go with Peru protests and see if you can spot the theme.
Peruvians are once again taken to the streets to protest against President Pedro Castillo's administration.
Rising food and fuel prices have led demonstrations.
In recent days, protesters want the president to resign.
On Thursday, Peru declared a state of emergency to clear highways that were blocked by truck drivers protesting against inflation. - I'm laughing, but...
This is Peru.
Yeah, and you know, but in Peru, it's not just...
People are now hungry.
The country has declared a state of emergency.
It's a little more critical in these areas than it is here, for example, where people have $6 gas and they bitch and moan about it.
But these other countries, they don't have the flexibility.
And so food and fuel is what they say, and it's inflation.
And what caused all this?
Putting the clamps on Russia, one of the largest fuel producers in the world, and who did that?
The Western countries and why they do it.
What was the point?
To initiate the Great Reset.
Yeah, well...
Yeah, okay, you can deny it all you want, but it's...
I'm going to continue to deny it, but it's definitely...
I mean, you're winning this war so far.
But the game's not over.
No, the game's not over.
We need to screw up the supply chain even more!
This morning, that massive cargo ship called the Everforward, going anywhere but, trapped in the Chesapeake Bay for 24 days.
Have you seen this?
Have you seen this?
No.
This is great.
I missed this one.
This is great.
The nearly 1,100-foot ship carrying 5,000 containers ran aground leaving Baltimore, where it remains stuck just outside one of the busiest ports in the world.
Of course.
How big of a deal is this?
It's a big deal.
This is a big ship.
This is one of the largest ships.
Hold on a second.
This has got that series of people should go back and watch Rubicon written all over it.
Yeah.
But this is also from the same company whose ship got stuck in the Suez Canal.
Yeah, no, I know.
I could tell by the name.
It's the same company.
It's funny.
In the world.
These guys are just boneheads.
Find some new pilots.
My God.
It's 1,100 feet long.
It's the length of three football fields end to end.
Captain John Martino of the Annapolis School of Seamanship showing us how the 130,000-ton ship missed its turn down the channel, landing in water 24 feet deep.
It needs 42 feet of water to stay afloat.
She was moving when she went around.
She dug a trench.
The vessel's company, Evergreen Marine Corporation, just happens to own the megaship that also ran aground in the Suez Canal a year ago, blocking $10 billion in goods daily for nearly a week.
The Everford not blocking this critical channel in Maryland, but the U.S. Coast Guard concerned about safety and monitoring for fuel leaks.
The ship's company is now invoking an old maritime law that requires those with cargo aboard to help pay the cost to free it.
So all these goods have to be offloaded.
It's going to take two or three weeks.
And they also have to pay for the offloading.
So that's just going to jack up prices more.
But let's stay with Ukraine.
That's cute.
Yeah, I like what they're doing.
Now, can I just say, the Grammy Awards, which of course I watched...
Which, of course, was once again a fantastic production and got the same ratings as last year.
Completely, there's like no one cares.
No one...
Did I say something?
I was almost going to work on a bit because I was thinking about it.
I hate to say this.
Maybe it's me just being...
This is me being an old fart.
I don't think the music's that interesting.
It's not catchy.
It all sounds similar.
It's got a certain kind of thing going on.
I was getting annoyed, by the way, by...
By Mozart, as a matter of fact.
I would just be annoyed just to say it.
Because I noticed that Mozart has these little things.
He does da-da-da.
He puts da-da-da in all of his songs all over the place.
Da-da-da.
Because I've listened to classical music for 50 years consistently, 24-7 in the house.
And I'm starting to pick up on these sameness of Mozart.
And so I'm listening to the Grammys and it's like the sameness is like just pathetic.
It's like the same group of people are designing these songs, and I'm saying designing, not writing.
Yeah, well, there's exceptions, and there are some...
There's a catchy tune that comes along once in a while.
Somebody's actually creative, but I'm not seeing it.
I am in total agreement with you.
And that, of course, was not really why I was interested in the Grammys.
I wanted to see if they would do a better job than forcing Sean...
I was more interested in the Ukraine integration.
Oh, yes.
Oh, pathetic.
And it turns out when you listen to this video piece, it's even more pathetic than watching it during the Grammys.
It's about a minute and a half.
We can stop it.
But the choices that were made are interesting because they have Zelensky.
They have a voiceover with a non-native English speaker who rushes the read.
The way you'd want it to be drawn out a little bit.
But with the echo and everything in the auditorium, it just...
It's the stuff end-of-show mixers get off on.
One thing that has always made music so powerful is the way it responds to the times.
Even in the darkest times...
No, stop, stop, stop.
I hate to interrupt.
No, it's fine.
But why is Noah the host of this thing?
Is he like a rapper?
No, he's black.
Is he?
Well, he's South African.
Yeah.
He's not African-American, but he would be considered black and he would be considered funny.
And today, you know, these days, black and funny, not working too well on award shows.
So, you know, Chris Rock was just not going to...
He was not available.
And Trevor Noah has, you know...
He fits in with the douchebags who produce the Grammys.
What can I tell you?
One thing that has always made music so powerful is the way it responds to the times.
Even in the darkest times, music has the power to lift spirits and give you hope for a brighter tomorrow.
And there's nobody who could use a little hope right now more than the people of Ukraine.
Here to introduce a very special performance led by John Legend, the president of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky.
The war.
What's more opposite to music?
The silence ruins cities and kills people.
Our children draw swooping rockets, not shooting stars.
Over 400 children have been injured and 153 children died and we'll never see them drawing.
This is such an uplifting message about dead children and bombs killing everybody in this great voice.
Our parents are happy to a cop in the morning in bomb shelters.
It's almost like me doing Comic Street Blogger.
I mean, this is really an interesting choice.
I don't understand it.
I mean, you can't understand it literally, or you don't understand why they did it?
No, no, I don't understand why they would do it this way.
I have some answers.
Our loved ones don't know if we will be together again.
The world doesn't let us choose who survives and who stays in internal silence.
Our musicians wear body armor instead of tuxedo.
They sing.
Our musicians wear body armor instead of tuxedos.
To the wounded in hospitals.
Even to those who can't hear them, but the music will break through.
The music will break through.
We defend our freedom to live, to laugh, to sound.
On our land, we are fighting Russia, which brings horrible silence with its bombs, the death.
Silence.
Feel the silence with your music.
Fill it today to tell our story.
Tell the truth about the war on your social networks, on TV, support us in any way you can, any but not silence.
And then peace will come.
To all our cities, the war is destroying.
Chernykiv, Kharkiv, Volnovakha, Mariupol, and others, they are legends already.
But I have a dream of them living and free, free, like you, on the dream stage.
Alright, so at the end of this interesting production, they flashed up a URL. StandupforUkraine.com.
I mean, as any good No Agenda producer would do, I don't just sit there picking my nose.
I'd say, okay, let's see who was being promoted here.
I will give you three guesses to which website I was taken when I entered the...
Domain name on the screen during the Grammys.
Standup4Ukraine.com.
ActBlue.
No, that would have been unbelievable.
No, it was not ActBlue.
I appreciate the guess.
That's what I was thinking.
I'll be honest with you.
Any other guesses?
I don't know.
Tell me.
GlobalCitizen.org.
The Lorene Powell Jobs...
Funded douchebag.
This is all of the big finance companies.
These are the guys that do the annual big jerk-off show.
This is reminding me of the Georgia.
If you remember years and years ago when Georgia happened, we were following that closely.
We had this sort of thing.
These scammish websites.
Yeah, but it's not scammish.
Well, let's go back to your theory about why they're using this horrible voice of this creepy guy, this devilish guy.
I think because they're stupid.
I think it was subtitled.
It was subtitled on the screen.
I'm waiting for a theory.
No, they're stupid.
I'm sorry.
No, they're stupid.
They're just stupid.
They're stupid.
And the people who watch these award shows and buy into it are also stupid.
Yeah, it's stupid.
Oh, y'all, so wonderful.
Oh, yes.
Oh, yes.
Zelensky, so good.
No!
No, this is a globalist takeover of everything.
And when you get the globalcitizen.org people in there, which is financed by all the big banks, all the big pharmaceutical companies, I mean, come on.
Don't we see what's happening here?
That's almost...
Okay, well, we'll stick with Ukraine for now.
I'm sure you have more.
Let me go to some clips about Bojo.
Oh, is this regarding Ukraine?
Yes.
Oh, yeah.
Good.
He went to Ukraine.
And I'm a little irked by about this.
Who's playing what kind of silly games on us here?
But let's start with this short clip.
And I think this is just the introduction to the whole thing.
This is Bojo in Kiev.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has pledged aid to Ukraine after holding talks with President Zelensky in Kiev.
Johnson promised to intensify sanctions against Russia and provide more military assistance.
The meeting comes more than six weeks into the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Johnson is the latest in a line of foreign leaders who've been traveling to the country to offer their support.
He's dropping a couple hundred million maybe or something like that in some weaponry.
Yeah.
But now I'm going to go, before I get to the clip that's going to annoy me, I'm going to play the UK, this is a Ukraine Al Jazeera rap, starts with Bojo and then brings in some other information.
I think it brings us kind of up to speed and I want to get this out of the way.
But it also keeps Bojo in play.
This is Ukraine...
Sorry.
Ukraine AJ rap with Bojo 1.
Now there's been a boost for Ukraine's war effort as international donors renew financial support for millions of people who fled the fighting.
The British Prime Minister made an unannounced visit to Kyiv offering military and financial aid.
Boris Johnson held talks with President Vladimir Zelensky and promised to increase the pressure on Russia with more sanctions as well as moving away from using its oil and gas.
Rasul said their reports are from Kyiv.
More high-level diplomatic visits to Kyiv.
On Saturday, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Austria's Chancellor Karl Nehammer became the latest Western leaders to visit the Ukrainian president.
A day after Volodymyr Zelenskyy welcomed European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and the bloc's foreign policy chief Joseph Borrell.
Johnson, one of the most vocal critics of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, reiterated his support for the country.
And we will give you the support that you need.
Economic support, but also, of course, defensive military support, in which I am proud to say that the UK helped to lead the way.
He pledged to send new armored vehicles, anti-aircraft, anti-tank missiles, and perhaps most significantly, anti-ship missile systems.
Those could threaten Russia's large naval presence in the Black Sea.
As embassies and political figures begin to return to Kyiv, the world to reconstruct its destroyed neighborhoods is ramping up.
Among them is the city of Irpin.
Once home to 60,000 people, the city was a front line in the battle between Russian and Ukrainian forces.
Heavily guarded on a visit to the area, the Austrian chancellor told me he found the destruction difficult to take in.
The torture of the people in the Ukraine.
With all the war crimes now.
Fierce fighting continued here for over a month.
This breach became a focal point as people fled the bombardment.
Okay.
Okay.
Thank you.
Okay, so everyone's going over there because I guess they feel they can all go to Kiev and hang out.
Yeah, it's safe, so now we want to go over there and virtue signal and send some money.
I mean, technically, I guess it is safe, even though the real big strikes that the Russians have done have been over thousands of miles using cruise missiles, and they could blow all of them up if Russia wanted to.
You know what I love still?
But I don't see them doing that.
What I still love is you look at Fox News number one.
Every single time they go to their person on the scene, and it's either in Kiev or in Lviv, they always show, it's nighttime, of course, and they show an empty square kind of lit by yellow streetlights below.
And that is, it's chroma key.
It's green screen.
It's green screen.
The only one that I think is legit, because I look for green screen anomalies, and I've looked and looked and looked, and I believe it's legit, which is on NBC. Our buddy, what's his name?
Engel.
Engel is there in, and he's in Kharkov where they're bombing.
Well, he's Richard Engel.
Yeah, well, Richard Engel is so connected to the, he's a spook.
Yeah.
And what he does, he goes, checks with the spooks on the other side.
Where should I be?
And where should I not be?
Yeah, where should I be?
We need to do a shoot.
But I'm just saying, it's the lie in your face when they do this to you.
You know, the hosts who are so-called in Ukraine, they could be anywhere in the Fox building.
You know, and when you see someone there, go quick look at the weather report for Kiev.
You know, oh, it's 37 degrees and raining.
Yeah, or snowing, you guys.
There's no snow.
Yeah, so it's all fake.
Let's go to continue this rap.
This is actually an optional clip I could skip.
In fact, I will skip it because I'm going to go to the final clip, which is...
This is the NPR report on Bojo taking credit.
And first of all, I am incensed by what I'm going to hear.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has traveled to the capital of Ukraine.
Willemarks reports he's the latest Western leader to visit Kyiv since Russian forces withdrew from the region around the city.
Johnson arrived for talks with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday with plans to share details of military and financial support for Ukraine, according to his office.
On Friday, Johnson announced a further $130 million worth of anti-aircraft and anti-tank weapons, and Downing Street said the visit, which was not announced in advance, represented a, quote, show of solidarity with the Ukrainian people.
A member of Zelensky's staff on Facebook described the UK as the, quote, leader in support for Ukraine's military and the introduction of sanctions against Russia.
Wait a minute.
What military equipment does the UK make that they're sending?
Oh, some, I don't know, some anti-tank missiles and some stuff that they got from us.
Yeah, that's my point.
Who made it?
We made it.
And so, they're giving 138 million.
We have delivered 1.8 billion, 2 billion, 1 billion, 3 billion.
I think it's up to 18 billion.
And he's the leader.
And he's the leader?
Who's being scammed here?
Right.
This is a scam.
How is Boris Johnson, who's giving a few hundred million, which is not peanuts, compared to our billions of dollars almost broke an axle the other day on a pothole in the freeway because they won't fix our roads.
But we're being scammed out of billions of dollars and they won't fix the potholes.
And Boris Johnson gives a hundred million and he's the leader?
Are you kidding me?
Well, we all know who the real leader of the movement is.
We saw him on Hannity.
Sean Penn.
Sean Penn is the leader of this movement.
Sean Penn, where's your smelted Oscars, you liar?
Where's the smelted Oscars?
Where's the smelted Oscars?
You were going to smelt it if they wouldn't let Zelensky...
You know what?
John Legend beat you out, son.
So Sean Penn, who I've met, who I've flown for six hours with, who seemed like a really nice guy...
Everyone who knows him says he's a really nice guy.
Well, he's not.
He's an incredible warmonger.
Well, that's for sure.
...courage that's come up, and it was in his eyes, and it is clear to me that the Ukrainians will win this.
The question is, at what cost?
Did they have, in those early hours, I know that Trump gave them javelins, I know that they had some defenses, but if you go back to the Budapest agreement, they were at the time the third largest nuclear power in the world.
And they made an agreement that they'd give those weapons to Russia to be destroyed in exchange for protection from Russia, Great Britain and the US. Lesson to be learned here, don't give up your nuclear weapons if you have them, because you can't believe people like Vladimir Putin.
Well, even countries that have nuclear weapons can remain intimidated to use them, and we're seeing that now with our own country.
And I fear what that legacy is going to be.
No one wants to see a nuclear company.
I don't want to see one.
Nobody at the same time.
Well, what are you talking about?
Listen, listen, listen, listen to what he says.
No one wants to see a nuclear company.
I don't want to see one.
At the same time, if only one bully is going to be able to use those weapons as a threat, we've got to rethink what we're doing.
He's advocating for use of nuclear weapons.
Yeah, that's a piece, Nick.
Help me understand.
I was on a plane once with him and his brother who died, his mom.
It was a weird situation, but we were actually talking for six hours from New York to L.A. Yes, he seemed like a really nice guy.
He seemed sincere, but what happened?
What happens in your brain that you start to think this way?
He's always showing up where the New World Order is doing something nasty.
Like in Haiti.
He's been brainwashed.
It's Hollywood brainwashing.
I think you're right.
But it's complete with him.
It's really complete.
You go all in.
I just wanted to mention I got a couple pictures from the Netherlands from a grocery store.
As prices, you know, the inflation in the Netherlands was pegged at 12% last week.
Nice.
Which, of course, that's just the number they're giving you.
And so now they're seeing shortages on the shelves and they're seeing prices go up.
And now in the supermarket, every single rack has these red stickers.
And the sticker says, I'll do it in Dutch first.
I shall translate.
Expensive?
Shut up!
Honor Ukraine!
No way.
Yes way.
No way.
Put it in the show notes.
It's right there.
Underneath the...
You sure it's not like this little Biden I did that stickers that people are putting on there and it's not really from the store at all?
That is possible.
That is possible.
But it's insane enough that I would believe the Dutch would do that because the Dutch are a very, very giving country.
They love a big telethon.
Oh my goodness, all the celebrities are doing something for somebody.
Yeah.
I will mention, by the way, those I did that stickers, and there's also Biden did that stickers with Trump.
Somebody sent me a huge bundle of them, and I want to thank them for doing that, because what I do is I stick about 10 of them in my wallet, and when I do any transaction anywhere at the store...
You hand one out?
I hand them out, and people really love getting them.
Interesting.
I mean, the banker, I might go to the bank, I drop a few off there.
Oh, these are great!
Yeah.
Because they may have seen him or heard of him, but they don't have one.
There was a video going around of a guy who got arrested in, I think, Sacramento for putting one of those on the gas pump.
Yeah.
Yeah, you can get arrested.
You can get arrested for that?
Yeah, because gas pumps have got all kinds of regulations about what you can put on a gas pump.
And it's defacing a gas pump is actually against the law.
That's defacing a gas pump.
You can peel that thing off just instantly.
Because the gas pumps are so grimy.
I wanted to ask you a question about a timeline of the Bukha massacre in Ukraine.
Oh, before you do that, just since we were on the stickers, I want to mention to people who have these stickers, because you can put them on gas pumps and get away with it, but check for cameras.
Always check for cameras.
Okay, go on.
Well, Buja, this is where we saw, you know, this is where everyone...
Buja, Buja.
Buja, Buja, I've heard it pronounced many ways.
Yeah.
What I don't understand is how, in the timeline, there's just tons of videos of the mayor of Bukhsha, four days before this, celebrating that the Russians are gone and everything's great and we're free again, and then four days later, then all of a sudden the massacre happened?
This sounds kind of sketch to me.
A lot of people...
Well, of course, the Russians say it's the Ukrainian, the Nazi that...
Yeah, of course.
Of course.
Yeah, the Azov Battalion.
And what happens is...
One story...
This is one story.
There's a couple of stories.
In fact, I've seen a couple of instances where they show the...
Well, the main story is that the Russians told the civilians to wear white armbands if they weren't taking part in it, which seems dubious, but that's what the story is.
And these white armbands, if you had one on and the Nazi brigade of the Ukrainian army saw you with the white armband, they'd just shoot you on the spot as a collaborator.
Oh, nice.
And that's what a lot of these...
And they tear off their armband and shoot in the head again to make sure you double tap.
So, we don't know is what you're saying.
We don't know.
It's like the Ukrainians say one thing and everyone else says something else.
So, I'm inclined to just ignore the whole thing.
Well, the only thing we can't ignore is that Putin specifically and the war in Ukraine are being used as scapegoats for inflation and for the energy crisis.
And as the president has set us up for coming food shortages.
So that's successful.
I think that is successful the world over.
It's working.
Yeah, people believe that right away.
And so that's why they have to continue to keep this Ukraine probably sounding worse than it is.
All loss of human life is bad.
But this is not going on in the world.
They had last Sunday, they had Hillary on the Chuck Todd show.
Oh, no.
Oh, I missed it.
Yeah, it's pretty good.
But I want to just play two clips from this.
One is Hillary's answer to the question.
And listen to the gall.
This is Chuck Todd.
This is the Chuck Todd asking about the New World Order.
You have to listen.
It's just like water coming off of a duck's back listening to Chuck Todd ask this question because I always thought the New World Order was some sort of a conspiracy or something screwy.
Listen to this question the way he asks it.
You heard Secretary Blinken essentially say, look, sanctions relief could happen.
It all depends on the behavior of Russia.
Can we really live in a world where Putin's let back into the New World Order?
No!
Oh my goodness.
Yeah.
Oh my goodness.
You know, maybe it's, maybe, well, we'll wait for her answer, and then I think we should.
Well, no, she, she beats the right, she refuses to make the mistake he just made.
I want to hear, I just want to hear this again.
That was, that, you know what, screw it.
I, I just have to give you the clip of the day.
This is a beautiful piece of work.
Clip of the day.
You heard Secretary Blinken essentially say, look, sanctions relief could happen.
It all depends on the behavior of Russia.
Can we really live in a world where Putin's let back into the New World Order?
Okay, after her answer, I do want to remind us what New World Order used to mean.
This is a combination of questions.
I skipped to the part where she answers about the New World Order specifically.
And she never really says New World Order, and I think she was a little annoyed that he did.
Your second part of that question, though, is a really important one.
I would not allow Russia back into the organizations that it has been a part of.
I think there's an upcoming G20... No, this is also good because she's saying that the organizations they used to belong to, which is the G8, you know, whatever else she'll mention.
So that is indeed the New World Order.
So she's kind of confirming it.
I think there's an upcoming G20 event later in the year.
I would not permit Russia to attend, and if they insisted on literally showing up, I would hope there would be a significant, if not total, boycott.
The only way that we're going to end the bloodshed and the terror that we're seeing unleashed in Ukraine and protect Europe and democracy is to do everything we can to impose even greater costs on Putin.
There are more banks that can be sanctioned and taken out of the so-called SWIFT relationship.
There is an increasing call for doing more on gas and oil.
Desperately trying to get out from under their dependence upon Russian energy.
We need to expedite, and I know the administration has been doing that, looking at more deliveries of liquefied natural gas, for instance.
So I think now is the time to double down on the pressure.
Wow, do you hear that?
Italy and Germany?
Italy and Germany, they opened up accounts with Gazprom Bank.
So that they can send euros there and then Gazprom sends it in rubles to home base.
They don't want to be without it.
So you're not hearing that being reported very much.
No, of course not.
Hillary is kind of declaring war on Germany.
Hey, you guys should stop that.
You can't take that from evil Putin.
Just back to the new, just the cavalier-ness of Chuck Todd.
I'm sorry, that was even better than the payoff clip.
I thought it would catch you off guard.
Yeah, it's...
Because it caught me off guard when I heard it.
That's why I made it just a standalone, because it was like, holy mackerel, this guy is that dumb.
So let's play that again and go into a little mini-cut that we have, gosh, I don't know, this is from years ago.
I don't know, it's a compendium.
You heard Secretary Blinken essentially say, look, sanctions relief could happen.
It all depends on the behavior of Russia.
Can we really live in a world where Putin's let back into the new world order?
The affirmative task we have now is to actually create a new world order.
Because the global order is changing again.
We have before us the opportunity to forge for ourselves and for future generations a new world order.
A world where the rule of law, not the law of the jungle, governs the conduct of nations.
When we are successful, and we will be.
We have a real chance at this new world order, an order in which a credible United Nations can use its peacekeeping role to fulfill the promise and vision of the UN's founders.
There's a need for a new world order, but it has different characteristics in different parts of the world.
Never before has a new world order had to be assembled from so many different perceptions, or on so global a scale, nor has any previous order had to combine the attributes of the historic balance of power system with global democratic opinion and the exploding technology of the contemporary period.
After 1989, President Bush said, and it's a phrase that I often use myself, that we needed a new world order.
So, in conclusion, ladies and gentlemen, a new world is emerging.
It is a new world order with significantly different and radically new challenges.
And the hope that each of us has to build a new world order.
And I surely believe India will be a central actor in the New World Order.
Now, this is why I'm so convinced that the Great Reset is really taking place, because that was a conspiracy theory two years ago.
This New World Order has been a conspiracy theory for decades, but yet here it is happening.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm in a dream.
Because I've been saying shit like this for 15 years.
Like, is it actually happening now?
And Chuck Todd just flapping it out.
Oh, Chucky boy.
Damn.
Why hide it?
This reminds me, I don't have any clips of this, I'll probably put them in the next show, but there was an excellent Jason Whitlock podcast that just came out about Disney creating grooming.
The grooming, this is a fantastic wordplay we've got going on.
And he had some clips, those clips, which I've seen him a couple of times, but I didn't see this one of these various Disney executives talking about, you know, I have two gay children.
Yeah, we played that on the show.
What do you mean we played that?
No, but there's another one.
The second one was a black woman.
Oh, no, we didn't play that.
No, we saw the one with this woman that had the pansexual child.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, how do you have a...
Your children shouldn't be sexual at all.
They don't pansexual.
I mean, what are they doing in their spare time?
They're like a seven-year-old.
And this black woman said, she's made the comment, I gotta get this clip, I'll steal it from him, which was, my not-so-hidden gay agenda.
Yes.
Yeah.
This is a different form of coming out of the closet.
This is like, not coming out of the closet as gay, but coming out of the closet with a not hidden, not hidden, it was her words, gay agenda to turn the kids gay.
To turn the children gay.
Well, she didn't...
I don't recall her saying that her agenda was to turn the children gay.
No, but if you listen to Between the Lines, what is the not-hidden gay agenda?
What is the gay agenda?
It's not gay marriage.
That's already been accomplished.
What is it now?
Well, I didn't clip it, but Camille Paglia...
I had a rant on this.
She was talking so fast.
A little background on her.
Camille Pagli I've always admired.
Me too.
She's an out lesbian who's very famous.
And she is one of the greatest essayists ever.
Yeah.
And I would say she's more left than right.
She's liberal, isn't she?
Oh, she's very liberal, but she's liberal in the way that Taibbi and Greenwald are liberal.
Old-fashioned.
And Paglia's essays are unbelievable.
And I used to read them going, oh my God, how can anyone write like this?
And then she discussed it.
And she'd take a month to write a damned essay.
I'm thinking, well, anyone could write a good essay if you're going to take a month.
And so I was very irked by this personally.
She had a good rant.
She's great.
And it was so fast, but it confirms something.
She's a fast talker.
That's a drawback.
It confirms something I heard before, that there have been these moments in societies when people kind of lose the plot, and you have a lot of cross-dressing, and you could call it transgenderism, although, you know, obviously two separate things.
Yeah.
Flamboyancy.
You know, think RuPaul, I guess, is kind of what I'm thinking.
And she mentions specifically Weimar Republic.
And I think that's true, that before the hyperinflation, everything set in, the elites of Weimar were, you know, hoity-toity, flamboyant, having sex with everybody and everything, and all happy-go-lucky.
It was an orgy time.
Yes, yes.
This was kind of hinted at in the movie Cabaret.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
It wasn't quite explored as much as it could have been.
Yes, this is true.
It's the decadence.
Of the well-to-do.
But when you play those clips of the New World Order and they talk about rule of law, every time they say that, I think, so why are you stealing yachts of people who have nothing to do with anything?
Yep.
Well, there's a number of reasons.
Now, by the way, they're going after Putin's daughter.
Yeah, both of them.
And Lavrov's daughter.
Both of them.
Oh yeah, now we're going after the kids.
That's like Hude and Abare.
Remember Saddam Hussein's kids?
We were trying to kill them too.
Yeah, well those two guys are creeps.
Usseh.
Usseh and Usseh.
Yeah, Usseh had the rape room.
I think one of Putin's daughters lives in Holland, I think.
I'm not sure.
Yeah, she's in Europe somewhere.
But you know what?
I don't want to get off track, but I think this is important.
Even though I have a problem with her now, with seeing her trading history, Marjorie Taylor Greene, she voted no on a bill just this past week that did pass in Congress.
She explains why, and this plays into the rule of law taking away your yachts.
Hi, everyone.
This is Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, and I just wanted to talk with you a few minutes about why I just voted no on two bills.
The first bill, I'm one of only three no votes, and I'm very proud to be one of the no votes.
And here's why I voted no.
You see, this bill that Congress just passed gives President Biden the full authority to be able to put sanctions on any country, not just Russia, but any country for what he deems to be human rights rights.
And that can be any explanation, anything that he decides.
It gives too much broad power to the President of the United States when our current president, President Joe Biden, is not making good decisions on behalf of America and we can't trust his authority in this situation.
The other part of the bill and why I voted no is because it increases more sanctions on Russian exports and Belarus and also adds more tariffs.
This is going to expand the problems that we're already having in our economy and it's going to expand inflation, more inflation.
It will cause food to cost a lot more.
Russia is a top exporter of fertilizer and grain.
And you see, at a time when we have inflation rising, food cost is going up and up, and we're looking at famines and starvation around the world, this is a time to be making more careful decisions in how it will affect people, especially people here in America.
I've not seen the bill.
Because I think a president can do a lot without a bill, so there must be something else in it.
Or something about the way that you can just declare any country no good.
And this will happen to Hungary.
Of course, Belarus.
This will happen to many different countries.
They're going to de-platform any country that has a political leadership that is not on board will be de-platformed.
De-platformed off of the money.
You're not a part of the New World Order.
Go pound sand.
Yeah.
Orban.
Orban is on deck.
Yeah, totally.
And I think that Africa, I mean, there's takeovers now in Africa, which will be important for resources.
If we can't get it from Russia, where else can we get this shit from?
Africa.
Now, this is...
Yeah, this is a mess.
Yeah, a mess is right.
I have a couple more clips I wanted to play.
I wanted to play some propaganda here that I think is just really good.
Okay.
And it's like, not from Fox, it's from CNBC, but first I want to get the basic story with this clip.
This is the Ukraine's train station bombed.
The original, not the train station clips, but Ukraine train station bombed clip.
Ukrainian officials are urging civilians in the eastern region of Lkansk to immediately travel to safer areas, warning Russia is amassing forces for a new offensive.
Residents are being evacuated from the city of Kramatosk, That's where a strike on a railway station on Friday killed more than 50 people.
Ukraine says Russia fired missiles at the station, while thousands of civilians were waiting to catch trains to safety.
Russia insists Kyiv was responsible.
From our city, the train hasn't been running for a long time.
We can only evacuate by bus.
It's impossible to live in the city because the water supply is intermittent.
Electricity is infrequent.
Shops are closed.
Communications don't work.
It's like Armageddon here.
Ah, yep.
We all saw the story.
Okay.
Now, a couple things in that story.
The trains aren't running and they're taking the bus.
That's what I heard.
Mm-hmm.
So, okay, so they're bombing the train station, but I guess they're catching the bus there?
I'm not sure.
This is an excellent point.
It's one of those timeline-type things, almost.
The timelines are all crucial.
I agree with you 100% on that.
So let's go to the propaganda report from CNBC and the Shep Smith report being done by Kelly Evans, the pretty Kelly Evans, who has a funny mouth that she moves around curiously.
Hold on a second.
I need to start watching this Shep Smith show.
Kelly Evans?
Yeah, it's really gone off the deep end for pro-war.
Let me see.
Oh yeah, she does have that funny...
She does the CNBC during the day, doesn't she?
Yeah, she's got one of the shows.
She's got one of the shows.
And then they put her on because she's...
Her teeth are too big for her mouth.
Her teeth are too big for her mouth.
She does a funny thing with her mouth.
We're not critical at all or anything.
But she's eye-catching.
She's pretty and she looks sincere.
She's interesting to look at.
Yes, that's why she works on TV and we as television producers understand this.
I think the public does too, but they don't like to admit it.
Now, this is some of the worst propaganda I've ever heard.
Now, the Russians say that this missile was...
They have the missile on the CNBC show and they're showing it.
Yes, the back half of the missile with the fins.
Yeah, and why is the thing intact is what I'd like to know if it blew up.
With the spray paint on it.
With spray paint on it that's intact.
Let's listen to this report and tell me this is not a...
I'm not being a cynic here, but tell me this is not a crock of shit if you've ever heard a crock of shit in your life.
Well, this show has served up a lot of that.
A missile strike on a train station in Kramatorsk, killing at least 52 innocent people, including children, who were trying to evacuate.
That's according to Ukrainian officials.
A warning now, the video we're about to show of the aftermath is graphic and disturbing.
Ukraine's foreign minister says this was deliberate slaughter, and the Russians knew the train station was full of civilians.
The train station is a major evacuation hub in eastern Ukraine.
It's where thousands of civilians have been trying to flee the war.
The Pentagon reports this was a short-range ballistic missile.
The missile had a message painted on it in Russian.
It reads, Here you can see a toy horse, soaked in blood, lying on the ground in the middle of the carnage.
Oh my!
Did they have a single child's shoe as well?
You know, I was wondering why they didn't, but I think that's become a trope that they won't do anymore.
I did see one where there was a cat.
But I've never seen the horse.
The little toy horse soaked in blood.
Yes, and the Russians spray-painted it on the tail for the children.
Yeah.
It's genocide.
Bastards.
It's genocide.
And by the way, every single report always has...
Warning, the following images are graphic and disturbing.
It wasn't very graphic.
No, this is trauma-based mind control.
Yeah, it's working.
Now, the rest of this report, which goes on with a bunch of minor details, but it's long, but I wanted to play it because it does wrap up with a very funny ending that I think is like missing the point, as usual, that the mainstream can't seem to get things straight.
Ukrainian officials say five children were among the dead.
This is video outside the train station just one day before the attack.
It is possible, just thinking of the discrepancy with the buses and the train station, it is possible that the people are told to go to the train station that the buses are riding from there.
No, I'm not denying that.
You can see how packed and crowded it was near the same area where the missile struck.
We begin tonight's coverage with NBC's Ali Aruzi reporting live in the city of Lviv in western Ukraine.
Ali, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has a new video out responding to the attack.
Good evening, Kelly.
That's right.
And in his video message, he says, like the massacres in Bucha, like many of the atrocities the Russians have committed across this country, the attack on the train station in Karmatorsk has to be dealt with in a tribunal in a long list of war crimes committed by the Russians.
Not only the very top of the leadership has to be held to account, but the commanders on the ground down to the person who fired the missile.
And Kelly, it was a brutal attack on civilians running away from their homes because the Ukrainian authorities have told them to get out of the Donbass area before they get encircled by the Russians, like they've done in places like Mariupol, before it's too late for them.
But clearly, Vladimir Putin did not want them to get out of that area.
And it was a scene of carnage at the train station.
Fifty people dead, at least five children killed.
Many people lost arms and legs after the Russians fired two missiles on that railway station with munitions that exploded in the air and spread over a very wide area, causing as much damage as possible to civilians, to children and to vehicles in that area. causing as much damage as possible to civilians, to children But of course, the Russians have...
Thank you.
So he said Putin didn't want these people to get leaving the Donbass.
Now, when this thing began, didn't he invite anyone in the Donbass to come to Russia?
Yeah.
And the place was overrun with refugees from the Donbass that were clogging up the schools in Russia, which is the towns nearby?
Yep.
So why, all of a sudden, he doesn't want people to leave?
I'm just wondering what these discrepancies, how do you account for them?
It's CNBC. I'm sure there's some weapons manufacturer that benefits from this report.
Anyway, continue.
Spread over a very wide area, causing as much damage as possible to civilians, to children and to vehicles in that area.
But of course, the Russians have denied having anything to do with it, as they have denied having anything to do with the massacres in Bucha.
And in Bucha, it was a day of deep sorrow once again.
More war crimes coming to light, more mass graves.
The European Commissioner was visiting Butcher today.
She was visibly shocked by what she saw at those mass graves, lighting a candle at one of those locations.
And then she met with President Zelensky later, and she promised President Zelensky that they are going to try and fast track their membership to the European Union because of this war, because of the crimes committed by Russia in Ukraine Over the last six weeks.
And that's exactly what Vladimir Putin didn't want to happen.
Well, no.
According to the analysis that you had, that's exactly what Putin does want.
Yes.
And I don't see any evidence of the contrary.
And this fast-tracking them into the EU makes it even better.
It's fantastic.
That's the way to go.
If you recall, we talked about this since 2014 when the Americans took over Ukraine, that nobody wanted the Ukrainians in the EU because Ukraine is a corrupt country.
It's rife with corruption, and it would just be introducing this sort of bad actors into Western Europe, and they don't need this aggravation.
And I would like to remind Her Excellency Van der Leyen that the people who orchestrated this for you don't care about you.
Exactly.
Good catch.
Yes, exactly.
Speaking of propaganda.
And this is also related to Ukraine and to the mainstream, certainly mainstream media, the M5M here in the United States.
The Atlantic had a conference and the actual title of the conference was about disinformation in media.
Big letters.
Oh, disinformation conference.
And so when you want to get the experts...
The Atlantic.
Yeah, exactly.
When you want to really know about disinformation, you have the Atlantic organize it.
And you also have Brian Stelter from CNN on stage.
I saw this too.
It's pretty funny.
You know, the thing, before you play it, it's not as good as it could have been.
Have you seen the whole thing?
You know, there's a lot of stuff that people are cutting off thinking that's the punchline.
I know.
They're not giving us good clips.
No, no, no, no, no.
So I have, you know, I make a habit of going, let me get the whole thing.
So it's two minutes.
I know you didn't see a two-minute clip because it's actually better in the longer version.
And this is a question from the audience, obviously someone who came in to ask these very questions, which I think are all valid.
My name is Christopher Phillips.
I'm a first year at the college.
My question is for Mr.
Delta, you've all spoken extensively about Fox News being a purveyor of disinformation.
But CNN is right up there with them.
They pushed the Russian collusion hoax.
They pushed the Jussie Smollett hoax.
They smeared Justice Kavanaugh as a rapist.
And they also smeared Nick Sandman as a white supremacist.
And yes, they dismissed the Hunter Biden laptop affair as pure Russian disinformation.
With mainstream corporate journalists becoming little more than apologists and cheerleaders for the regime, is it time to finally declare that the canon of journalistic ethics is dead or no longer operative?
All the mistakes of the mainstream media, and CNN in particular, seem to magically all go in one direction.
Are we expected to believe that this is all just some sort of random coincidence, or is there something else behind it?
It's too bad.
It's time for lunch.
You have 30 seconds.
No, I mean, there's a clock that says 30 seconds.
But I think my honest answer to you, and I'll come over and talk in more detail after this, is that I think you're describing a different channel than the one that I watch.
But I understand that that is a popular right-wing narrative about CNN. I think it's important when we talk about shared reality and democracy, all these networks, all these news outlets have to defend democracy.
And when they screw up, admit it.
But when Benjamin Hall, the Fox correspondent, was wounded in Ukraine, the news crews at CNN and the New York Times stopped what they were doing, and they tried to help.
They tried to help them get out of the country.
They tried to find the dead crew members.
That's what news outlets do.
That's how they actually do work together, to your question about sharing those kinds of connections and trust.
We don't talk about it enough, though.
We don't share that reality about how that happens.
And with regards to the regime, I think you mean President Biden?
The last time I spoke with a Biden aide, we yelled at each other.
So that's the reality of the news business, that people don't see, that people don't hear.
They imagine that it's a situation that simply is not.
But I think your question, it speaks to the failure of journalism to show our work and show the reality of how our profession operates.
We have a lot of work to do, I think.
So to show that the news business is really real and not just propaganda, his examples are, hey, one guy got blowed up, so we all went and looked at him and reported on it.
And the other one is, hey, I yelled at someone.
I mean, this is unbelievable that he should have been hauled off the stage with a hook.
Well, he didn't address one thing the kid brought up.
No, of course not.
And he just was dancing.
It was dancing.
And he was doing a...
I thought he did...
That's the clip I heard.
I thought he did a pretty good job of dancing.
Because he...
Because the audience is not on the side of that kid.
Because it's in Atlanta.
Yeah, you're right.
Yeah, yeah, of course.
Of course.
Of course.
I mean, if it was a normal audience, people in there that were critical, somebody would have yelled, answer the question!
From the audience.
They would have done that.
Nobody did.
Hey, when I was on the panel at Bitcoin 2022, and I, of course, mentioned no agenda.
I can't remember what context.
I got a lot of ITMs from the audience.
That was pretty cool.
In the morning!
That was nice.
In the morning.
Do you have more on this?
I have something that's related.
Well, I got a couple of things I wanted to get, a couple of things I wanted to get at least played out.
Because this is not being reported much.
Okay.
And this is, these are the last two Ukraine clips.
And this is one on, there's a prisoner exchange going on.
It's pretty, seems same and logical.
It seems less hysterical.
But you would, no reporting on this, except for I think this is Al Jazeera, Ukraine-Russia prisoner exchange.
Ukraine and Russia have conducted a third prisoner exchange.
NPR? Yeah.
Ukraine and Russia have conducted a third prisoner exchange, swapping both civilians and military personnel.
From Kyiv, NPR's Yulian Hadda has more.
Well, this doesn't fit the narrative very well.
It sounds like they're moving towards peace, huh?
Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister, Irina Verestuk, announced late Saturday that 26 Ukrainians would be headed home from Russian custody in the coming days.
It was unclear how many Russians Ukraine released, but the last two exchanges had equal numbers going home on both sides.
Prisoner exchange negotiations have stalled over the last week, with Russia accusing Ukraine of changing terms at the last minute.
Speaking on Ukrainian television, Verestuk accused Russia of detaining Ukrainian civilians, including 11 mayors, for an upper hand in the negotiations.
Yeah, negotiations.
We can't be repeated.
Don't report on negotiations.
We need to see blood-soaked children's toys.
Yes.
Obviously, that's what you want.
Yes.
If you want people to vote for Joe Biden...
Okay.
I got one more Russian clip, which is on the NGOs giving, you know, the NGOs are all jacked up.
I think this, you know, are doing for helping out the Ukrainians.
They're all jacked up about the aid.
Ukrainian aid update with NGOs.
EU's helping out.
Mm-hmm.
Global donors have promised 11 billion dollars to support refugees from Ukraine and the internally displaced.
Now, do we have any idea who these global donors are that ponied up 11 billion dollars?
U.S. taxpayers?
The European Commission and governments like Canada are among the notable backers.
More than 4.4 million Ukrainians are now refugees and millions more are internally displaced.
Most of those who fled are women and children, as men of fighting age can't leave the country.
Today, we are supporting millions of Ukrainian refugees and people in need.
Above all, we are sending a message to every single Ukrainian in the cities and villages under siege.
A message of hope to the brave Ukrainian soldiers, heroes defending their country from the aggressor.
Dear brothers and sisters, you are not alone.
The member states are doing an outstanding job.
It's phenomenal.
The NGOs are working on the ground.
The local communities are outstanding in receiving the refugees.
But as I said, more is needed and any pledge will help a refugee here in the European Union.
But also, and this is so important, any pledge will help a person that is internally displaced, so lost their home because of the bombing and shelling of Putin's army within Ukraine.
That was from the lion, I guess.
At the end there?
I believe so, yes.
So, you know, thinking of mass formation and how it was kind of cool to have that and how masks and vaccination and social distancing gave people around the world really this, you know, took them out of the isolation of true isolation and what the hell is going on and all the fear.
And it gave people something to focus on.
And I think somehow the consistent reminding that the brave people of Ukraine are standing up, you know, kind of like on the barricades and Les Miserables.
You know, we're standing on the barricades.
We're all fighting against one.
And, you know, that's why you want to wear your blue and yellow T-shirt and stand for Ukraine and change your icon.
You know, it's so focused on the human element of fighting evil that I think it's a continuation of mass formation.
No, there's definitely some carryover.
There's no doubt about it.
And it's going in weird directions, such as...
Well, it also picks up some stragglers.
You know, there's an element...
Oh, good point.
The stragglers are the interesting part of it, which is the ones that bailed on our show because of this analysis we're doing.
They'll be back.
Yeah, but everyone comes back, potentially.
But the point is, is that they were pretty...
They could handle the COVID... But for some reason, this one here, which tugs at the heartstrings with the blood-soaked toys.
Well, that's it.
Yeah, because with COVID, you didn't actually see dead bodies.
You heard about it.
Yeah, they kept talking about them, but they never saw them stacked up like they claimed.
And now you just go to stockphoto.com and fill up your report.
Or, you know, grab something from a video game or do something.
No, you're on the field.
I mean, there's no effect if you're a photographer in the field or if you're even a videographer.
You set the stage.
This is great.
You get the toy and, you know, you dump something on it, anything.
I mean, you put the shoe.
No one does this anymore, but the shoe, you find a shoe and you just shoot it.
Oh, no.
They do it.
Of course they do.
I haven't seen a shoe shot for years.
Well, I'm disappointed.
We need shoe shots.
Everyone, we need Ukrainian shoe shots.
The idea is a single, empty shoe, preferably a child's shoe.
No, it has to be a child's shoe.
Did you see the one shot, though, where there was this kitten or cat, and the cat is...
I have not seen the kitten shot.
That's always a good shot.
The cat is amidst the ruins of...
And you see the shot of the world press.
There must be 50 of them, all angling with telephotos, zoom lenses, shooting the kitty to get that one perfect little shot.
Oh, this is dynamite.
When you go out taking pictures, I really love taking pictures of people taking pictures.
Yeah.
Because that's the best shot.
That's a coffee table book right there.
Yeah, people taking pictures.
So this is what's happening in Germany regarding the virtue signaling.
Germany has warned that anyone publicly supporting Russia's operation in Ukraine could face legal repercussions.
And the warning extends to anyone even displaying the letter Z to symbolize support, as the letter is being used to distinguish Russian vehicles in the war.
Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine is a criminal offense.
Anyone publicly approving the war may be liable to prosecution in Germany.
This applies to using the Z symbol, too.
German security authorities are keeping an eye on the use of the symbol.
Berlin's move raises disturbing parallels.
Greece's right-wing military dictatorship in the 60s and 70s also bans the letter since it stood for a progressive youth group, as the 1969 movie Z explores.
What about Zorro?
Yeah, the point that I was trying to make, 1969, this is 1970, they were banning letters.
They had a movie about it.
These people are insane.
And now they don't want you reading Dostoevsky, who is a complainer.
Give me a break.
So let's just stick with the 70s for a moment.
My beat?
We are getting new video tonight of a gas pump scheme.
I want you to take a look as it is caught on camera.
Remember the gas, stealing gas from the 70s?
Oh yeah, it's a big deal.
This is a new take, a new way to do it.
Imagine pumping gas only to find out it was going into someone else's tank.
At ABC 10, we stand for you and we are looking out for your wallet.
ABC 10's Barbara Bingley shows us the gas pump scheme just reported in Sacramento County.
With gas prices soaring, some are stooping to new lows to save a buck.
Watch as these two drivers pull up to a fuel station at the Arco on Watt Avenue and Blackfoot Way on Sunday.
The men quickly swap the nozzles and one drives away, waiting for unsuspecting customers to pull up.
Manager Bobby Joel sharing it to spread awareness.
You know, it was real quick.
It only took a second.
But you can see now, if you look at it, the hose comes across the pump instead of on the side itself.
He says when the victims pulled up and started pumping gas, the suspect started his meter too, counting on the victims not to notice they were paying for his gas.
It's the first time in his career he's seen this.
Customers were also left shocked.
Crazy.
Just mad times we're living in, you know?
I'm still kind of trying to figure out how this scam works.
This doesn't sound very practical.
So the way it works is you park your car on one side of the pumps, and then you take your hose and put it into the slot on the other side.
And then you take their hose and you put it on your side.
So when they go to get the gas, they put their cart in, then you immediately start pumping.
I don't see how they don't notice that there's no gas coming out of there.
It's an interesting idea.
In the 70s, the main thing was stealing gas with a siphon.
Siphoning.
Siphoning.
Siphoning gas.
And now, of course, they drill holes in the tanks for something, which is dangerous and stupid.
Yes.
But the siphoning thing, because this is the era in the 70s is when all the locked gas caps became in vogue.
They had gas caps with locks on them and then they had the kind that closed you have to open them from inside the car.
All that is because of the 70s.
Before that, the gas was usually flipped the thing open and pumped gas into it.
There was no locked It was more trouble than it was worth to siphon gas before that.
It's like, so cheap, who cares?
No, before they started, in the 70s, siphoning gas was pretty easy because there was no lock caps.
And that's what they were doing, but now you can't do that.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, a couple other things.
Peter Schiff, known gold bug.
He had a gold insane dude.
Well, what we're seeing now confirms the fact that we are now in a major secular world.
This has massive implications for investments, for the economy, because what powered the big bull market in stocks was the bull market in bonds.
The fact that we were doing everything against a backdrop of ever decreasing interest rates.
That's what fueled the speculation.
That's what kept the money cheap.
That also fueled the real estate market.
Everything was built on the foundation of Falling bond yields, rising bond prices.
Well, all that has changed.
We're now in an environment where bond prices are going to keep falling and yields are going to keep rising.
That is the environment we were in during the 1970s and the types of investments that worked out during the bond bull market did not do well.
During the bond bear market.
What did well during the bond bear market were commodities, natural resources, gold, foreign currencies, foreign stocks, emerging markets.
Exactly what is going to be doing well in the future.
70s?
Anybody?
70s?
Yeah, that's a good one.
Then we have, you know what else is coming back?
Macrame.
You know what?
Before I even continue there, I got two things to say, which brings me back to a comment I want to make about the Grammys, now that you mention it, macrame.
My J Tech macrame class, she's making macrame all over the place.
Boom!
You got macrame everywhere.
It's like macrame, you know, you got a coffee cup, it's got macrame around it.
Yes, the macrame thing is noticeable.
I want to mention something about the Grammys, and this is just off topic a little bit, pre-topic.
Um...
So there's this group that was hoping to get a bunch of awards called BTB or BTS. BTS. BTS. BTS from Korea.
So I'm watching this and I said, you ever heard of this BTS group?
Yeah.
I said to Jay.
I said, they stink.
I said, everything they only do is mouthing.
They're not even singing.
There's no chance these guys are singing anything.
It's all lip syncing.
And she says, she looks at me quizzically and says, yeah, that's part of the charm.
I'm thinking, what?
Was it the 70s Milli Vanilli when they had their, when they busted in the late 70s?
Okay, okay.
Now, I'm going to slow you down.
No, Milli Vanilli was the 80s and the 90s.
The 70s, we had other issues with music.
But since you're talking about the Grammys, these guys were on.
Let's get straight into it.
Kicking off tonight from inside MGM Grand Garden Arena is a dynamic duo who are single-handedly bringing back the 70s, which might explain all the inflation.
It's Bruno Mars.
Did you hear what he said?
It's a topper.
Wait, wait, listen, listen.
A dynamic duo who are single-handedly bringing back the 70s, which might explain all the inflation.
It's Bruno Mars and Anderson.
Yeah, Silk Sonic, they're fantastic.
Total 70s vibe.
Do you think that the Southern strategy, in a way, is also a part of it, is a throwback to the 70s?
Like, we're seeing some of that here, only the parties are different?
Or is that too far-fetched?
I thought the Southern strategy came in the late 60s, which I consider an extension of the 70s, so maybe.
It's possible.
Well, here's what I'm waiting for.
The number one invention of the 70s.
Quadrophonic sound.
Quadrophonic.
Quadrophonic.
I'm sorry.
Quadrophonic.
The movie was Quadrophenia.
Quadrophonic sound.
Did you have that?
Did you have a quadrophonic player?
I think I may have.
I know I still have some quadraphonic records.
And it was a dud, because it was a thing as you can...
It was a huge...
It was just a gimmick, a ridiculous gimmick.
It's come back in a certain way with the Dolby 6.1 or 4.1.
Yeah, a little bit.
Yeah.
And it's the same.
But that's already been in play.
So I don't know what new gimmick.
4K? I don't think so.
It's already coming.
That came in earlier.
I don't know.
I think they're...
I don't know.
Well, we did get some corrections on our mistake, our faux pas, of thinking there was no analog to the 70s pet rocks.
And a lot of people piped up right away and said, what do you think NFTs are?
I like that comparison.
It's an interesting idea.
But NFTs are not absurdist.
They're not!
Petrock was literally an absurdist idea that caught on.
And until I see something like that.
We did make a mistake about Germany being landlocked.
Somebody called us on that.
And I knew better.
So did I. But you know what?
You should have called me out.
I'm the one who said it.
Well, here's why I made the mistake.
If there's one thing every Dutchman knows, is that the minute the weather starts to get a little bit better, the roads from Germany are just...
There's one large traffic jam all the way to the Dutch beaches, because they don't have a beach.
And the Germans invade the Dutch beaches every single summer, and they're very recognizable.
They do not have a beach, no.
That's funny.
At least not that I'm aware of, because, you know, what we didn't even think about, the ports they have up in, was it Hamburg?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know if they have, I don't think, it's too cold up there.
Yeah, beaches up there.
Anyway.
You got a lot of beaches running the country.
Yay!
There we are.
With that, I'd like to thank you for your courage to say in the morning to you, the man who just put the C and the K in yak facts.
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr.
John C. Dvorak.
Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
Adam.
Yeah.
In the morning to the trolls in the troll room.
Hey trolls, how you doing?
I want to see those hands up.
Let's count you right now.
Let's see how many we got coming back from vacation.
The total count of trolls today is 2,551.
Not bad for a Thursday.
Welcome trolls.
Good to have you there.
That's trollroom.io.
Anybody can go over there and join and troll around.
And then you listen live at the same time to the No Agenda stream, which is where you hear the show live.
And that's a 24-hour, 7-day-a-week stream.
All kinds of live programming.
It's all from Gitmo Nation.
If it's not live, then it's probably the most recent episode of something.
And it's a great community to hang out with.
Especially if you're a troll.
Or just follow us at noagendasocial.com.
Geez, I don't even know if I can tell you what I... I'm going to tell you anyway.
We've been waiting for Truth Social, Trump's thing, which was supposed to be based on Mastodon.
Yeah.
Now, the CTO and the Chief Creative Officer of Truth Social reached out to me a few weeks ago.
And at first I thought it was a hoax.
And these guys are like no agenda producers, like for five, six years.
And they're running this thing, and literally the reason they reached out and said, well, we're going to do podcasts, but we didn't want to be those guys who just did it without talking to you first, because that's where you always come from.
They've been hearing nothing but me bitching about the fact that nobody talks to you.
Yes!
Yes!
And there was something going on.
I couldn't exactly feel it, but it's like, okay, well, what do you want?
Well, can you come?
They're in Atlanta.
Can you come?
We want you to see everything.
We want to talk to you about it.
And indeed, it was all based on Mastodon, Activity Pub, all this open source stuff.
And they have a grand vision.
Oh, I got you a free consulting gig you're making no money from.
That's fantastic.
So everything is, they want to have no business model, no monetization, just so people can't get deplatformed.
But what they were asking for is, can you come by and discuss it with us and then meet some of the board members?
I'm like...
Bless the operation.
Well, see?
Meet some of the board members.
I'm like, well, which board members?
How can I prepare?
What do you really need?
I mean, why don't you just tell me what you really want?
No, no, no.
No, just, you know, it'd be good if they saw you.
And I felt like they're holding something back because who are the board members?
Devin Nunes, Trump.
I'm like, you know, if we're going to meet Trump, I said...
Let me know, because I don't know, man.
I'm not really interested in being a part of something political, if it's really for open source.
Okay.
So, the next day, and this is after several emails and two phone calls, radio silence.
Just gone.
What?
And now both these guys have resigned.
Yeah, it was a failure.
The whole thing is a failure.
They couldn't scale it.
They couldn't scale it, so they can't get the people on.
And both those guys resigned.
Did you talk to them?
No, I keep saying, hey, I don't care what happened.
I like you guys.
Let's talk about moving forward.
What happened?
You think that's just a failure of Mastodon?
I think it's possible because, again, the reason why we have 10,000 people and always say, hey, you can follow us, you can interact with us through the Fediverse, is because of scale.
It doesn't even matter if you have your heart in the right place.
It's not easy to scale things like that.
Remember Twitter had the fail wheel for the first eight years of its existence.
Yeah, there was constant problems scaling.
It's not an easy thing.
Yeah.
The real money in some of these tech ventures is not the idea, but it's the scaling.
If you can't scale it, then you're done.
I mean, that's why Google was such a billion-dollar success story is because they could scale search To such an extreme, because they had a couple, who knows who these guys are, by the way, because they're kept a state secret.
There are some network engineers at Google that set it up from the beginning that are just flat-out geniuses, and they're the ones who made it work.
And I'm sure they got paid good money and they got a lot of stock.
But you'll never know who they are.
But also, you know, what Google in effect did is had enough money to scale by distribution.
You know, they have their own network pipes across the sea.
Yeah, I know, but can you imagine the code?
I mean, that is non-trivial.
No, no.
Geniuses.
It's too bad all that genius is put to evil.
That's always the bad thing.
Well, that's what happens a lot of times.
That's what happens with those guys.
Very common.
You get a white cat.
Next thing you know, you're wearing this kind of uniform, and you've got the white cat on your lap, and you're stroking it.
So even though I'm sad because I really wanted to see the Fetiverse and Mastodon take off, it really is...
Just another warning that the only way to go is distributed and to care about your community and not about...
You don't even want to care about scale.
Why do you want a whole bunch of people, a-hole people, yelling and screaming on your social network?
Now, go start your own server and federate with us.
Anyway...
Follow John C. Dvorak at noagendasocial.com, Adam at noagendasocial.com.
It is truly the only way for you to manage your own experience is to set up your own Mastodon server.
There's many places you can get one for a couple bucks a month.
Is it easy?
No, you probably have to think about it and get into it, but it's fun.
You know, I'm thinking that these guys, if there was some way of selling the idea of federating the Trump things to the point you'd have every state would have its own server.
You'd have to just federate the hell out of it so there was really no real big central anything.
It couldn't even be brought down by the will of God.
It just couldn't be indestructible.
But I don't think that concept is even within the...
Within the belief system of a Trump or a Nunes, even, or anybody, except one of the very few techies that are in Congress.
I think there's two of them.
It's just not conceivable.
It's not how they think.
Especially Trump.
This is, in my mind, his biggest flaw.
Is he is still in the world of, I have to be number one, I have to have the number one ratings, I have to have the most, I have to have all of it.
And that's just turning out not to be important anymore.
You need to be able to feed your family and have your community who are around you.
That's what media and media properties, that's what's important.
There's all these drive-by assholes who are of no use, and if you want to eat, of no monetary use, because they're not part of something that is bigger than just...
He wants to set up a shop so he can be bigger than Twitter.
Bigger than Rumble.
Bigger than this.
Bigger than that.
As an entity.
As a giant monster.
And we might as well, while we're just talking about it briefly, then we will get to thanking our executive and associate executive producers.
This is three shows worth of stuff.
Yes.
To those of you, and I have seen you, Who are all jacked up and jitty about Elon Musk's involvement in Twitter.
Check yourself!
Check your amygdala!
Check your brain cells!
Are you kidding me?
How can anyone think this is going to be great?
Centralized services are not the way to go, especially if the person running it, you think that they may be on your side.
That's not what you want.
And Elon Musk, he is there to destroy Twitter.
I guarantee you he's going to destroy it.
That's his job.
This guy, he might as well just be...
Just wear the government-issued jacket.
He's invented nothing.
He's only been pushed into positions through acquisition and money people, his own family, and he's a P.T. Barnum.
And now you're all jacked up and jitty.
He's a good P.T. Barnum.
He's a great P.T. Barnum, but I'm...
My mouth...
I'm aghast.
I don't care one way or the other whether he owns 10% or not.
And he's going to be on the board?
He's just going to be a troublemaker.
He's there to destroy it.
I'm telling you, he's there to destroy it.
That's his job.
You watch.
He's not going to make anything better.
He's just going to destroy it.
All of a sudden, all the right-wing...
Oh, Trump can come back.
It's a distraction.
So we're doing the right thing.
You've got that off your chest.
Yeah, well, it's important because we have invested our time, our talent, our treasure.
We've got Aaroner, who's running the whole thing after it became too big for me to manage.
And we've got a good crowd.
And the Fediverse works.
We've got all kinds of people coming in.
There are people from Twit telling me I'm an asshole.
It's funny that I can get that on our...
It's about time.
It's funny that I can get that because they have a mastodon.
Twit.social or whatever it is.
And so they post to me and I can just laugh.
I can block them, but no one's going to get depleted.
I'm not going to block their whole server.
No, it's funny.
No, it's funny.
You know what?
You need your own instance where you can just sit there and post to yourself.
I'm one of these guys that sits there with a BB gun shooting at the Sparrows.
We need to thank two artists for the previous two shows.
Now, I would like to say...
I thoroughly enjoyed, during our travels, your COVID retrospective, some classic JCD sound effects, of course.
The responses, I think people, like I predicted, were just blown away when you hear all of the propaganda and the mixed messages and the bull crap that was thrown in our face over and over again, day in, day out, for two and a half years.
It was a phenomenal piece.
I only have four months of it.
It was a phenomenal piece.
And I think people really enjoyed...
The length was good, too.
It was like two and a quarter or something.
Two and a third, something like that.
But it was just the first four months.
It was January to May 1st.
It was more than enough.
And I could do the, if it could go from May 1st to the next to another four months, it would be totally different because then, and then there's the whole vaccine era.
Yeah, we didn't even get that one in, yeah.
I didn't even get close to the vaccine yet.
They were talking about it, always talking about it, talked about it right from the beginning.
So, that was episode 1439.
And 1439, on a second, that artwork was from Mike Riley.
That was the pangolin, which you chose for that episode.
And we thank Mike.
Have we used that one before?
No.
The pangolin in the mirror.
It was a very, very nice piece.
Then for 1440, this was the COVID medley, which ultimately I wound up making it four hours.
By the way, I don't want to condemn you, but this just shows that you've always wanted to make the show longer.
I wanted to...
Our show should be two hours and 45 minutes, and it goes to three hours and a half, three hours, 15.
And now when given the opportunity with you by yourself, nobody else...
Four hours.
And by the way, congratulations on four hours and no seconds.
You did that on purpose.
I came pretty...
I think there were 13 seconds that I couldn't quite shave off.
Came up on my calculations.
Came up.
4.0.
One of those things you like to do.
Comicster Blogger's artwork, best podcast and simulation is the one we chose for that.
We appreciate that, Comicster Blogger.
We listened to part of the COVID medley again.
And I just need to thank every single person who was ever sent in an end of show mix.
And so many people might not get to the end of the show to hear those mixes.
It's like, I understand.
There's a natural drop-off of any program.
And by the way, the reason why the shows have gotten longer is not my fault.
It is not anyone's fault, but we've had longer donation segments.
It is my job to balance that out and to make sure we have more content and not just a donation segment.
You need to tell people to stop donating, is what I'm saying.
That will shorten the show.
I disagree.
Or how about do shorter notes?
Now you're talking.
If you really want to see something cool, I provided Dreb Scott with all 154 titles and producers of every single one of the clips that was in the medley, and he turned them into chapters.
So if you're using a modern podcast app, which you can get from newpodcastapps.com, you can go right to your favorite.
Every single one is listed.
It's at the right time code.
And a great job, Dreb.
Really appreciate it.
Because he also found images for every single one.
So it's a real one for the archives.
It's something you want to keep.
And again, thank you to everybody.
And the entire track listing is in the credits for episode 1440.
And, of course, we'll be choosing some artwork from the offering that we have today from our artists.
And you can submit one yourself at noagendaartgenerator.com.
And, yeah, we appreciate the work that everyone always does.
I will make a comment about the art.
We're not going to use Fauci's image.
And also, when we do these specials, The day after the last show we do, it's all done.
We pick the art, we do the titles, everything's done.
So don't submit art after the fact, because it's just not going to go anywhere.
I mean, we did have a couple pieces from Roundy sent some stuff, and so did some other people.
But Roundy sent a piece that I used in the newsletter, which was a great piece, which mocked the...
Yeah, the 70s albums that people sell on the TV. Mm-hmm.
Of course.
Even Roundy is going back to the 70s.
Oh yeah.
I thought those things came out in the 80s mostly.
Bell bottoms all over Fort Lauderdale Beach.
Platforms.
Did you see Justin Bieber's Platform Crocs?
No.
Platform Crocs, there you go.
I want you to have a pair of those.
Yeah, you can.
You gotta see them.
I went to the Crocs store to see if they had them.
Did they?
No.
No, of course not.
It's a Bieber special.
And I look beautiful.
All right, let's thank our executive producers.
You know, you'd be...
It's better.
I always notice that people that are really tall really look better in the big platforms.
Which is exactly...
I think you'd look good in a pair.
Okay.
Let's thank our executive producers and associate executive producers for episode 1,441 of the No Agenda Show.
We kick it off with a note from Greg Hoy from Orinda, California.
Fan and friend, he says.
And, this is very interesting, $1,333.33.
And he typed it on an Underwood Lettera 33.
Are you familiar with this typewriter?
Yeah, this is a tight note.
We want more of these.
Why?
I think they're collectible.
John and Adam, this letter has been marinating in my mind for some time, digging out my Underwood Lettera 33 to type it just felt right.
Hello!
My wife and me discovered the podcast in 2019.
We got an old Airstream, made it fancier inside, and hit the U.S. for nine months.
My interest in true alt-news has early origins.
While my first jobs were at AAN Papers, like in Pittsburgh and the Village Voice, my real wake-up call was being in a voting booth in Red Hook, Brooklyn, as Tower One got hit.
Needless to say, the living I'd been making at that point in advertising helped inspire many new synapses.
Like many, I would never be the same.
A small startup called Facebook hired me in 2010 and brought me to California, which then provided me with even more countless smiles and eye rolls watching the tech sector from the inside.
I ask your forgiveness that we have been freeloading for so many years at this point.
Please accept this donation of 1333.33 as a way of both being cleansed of the past and hopeful for the future of the podcast.
Would love a good old-fashioned dedouching...
If there would be a title to be had, please refer to me as Sir Earhopper.
We will come to a meet-up one of these days as we are eager to mingle with the roundtable.
You've been de-douched.
Very nice note, sir.
Very nice.
Appreciate it.
And he is on schedule, it looks like, to be knighted.
Yes, indeed.
So we move on to Kat van den Bosch in Oudenbosch.
So she is Kat van den Bosch and she lives in Oudenbosch.
Oudenbosch.
She is Kat of the forest, of the bush, and she lives in Oldbosch.
Yeah, there's a lot of material there.
Yep.
1050.
Wow.
.00.
I did two separate donations this week, she writes, after which I can now claim my damehood.
I would like to be known as Dame Toothola of the Lowland Potheads.
It's pronounced Dame Toothola of the Lowland Potheads.
Toothola.
That's kind of like, almost like calling someone a Karen.
Very old Dutch word.
Toothola.
At the round table like to be served Fridkandela speciaal.
What is that?
Frickandello special.
Frickandello special.
Which is, it's kind of like a hot dog, but it's made out of excess pig guts and shit that no one wants anymore.
It's cold, cold milk, which makes the perfect stoner meal.
Yes, it is, especially with mayonnaise and ketchup and onions.
I was recently fired after nine years to see it in the United States, just peanut butter and jelly.
There's no fooling around with this stuff.
I was recently fired after nine years of employment for not being vaccinated, and for that, I would like to request some karma for my mentally challenged former boss.
And then she says, before you do that, I mean, karma can also be bad, right?
Well, we never target bad karma.
No, I don't think so.
But we'll just give him karma and see what happens happens.
I hope this loser gets all the karma he deserves.
By the way, I did make sure they paid up to get rid of me, which enabled me to donate myself into damehood.
Thankfully, I already found a new and better job.
And this time my boss is fully awake, but not woke.
He's not listening to No Agenda yet, but I promise to keep hitting him in the mouth until he does.
Some jobs karma for my new employment is very much appreciated.
Special shout-out to my dear friend Iris Albers, who is a die-hard douchebag.
Douchebag!
I still love her, though.
I still love her to bits.
Love is lit, Karen, a.k.a.
Dame Toothola of the potheads lowlands from Odenbosch, the Netherlands.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
There's something about you saying Toothola, which is just funny.
Toothola.

Oh, interesting.
700.70.
No jingles, no karma.
Happy birthday to John.
Of course, there it is for your 70th.
I recently learned about John from his appearance on a podcast called Nick the Rat Radio.
As a consumer of PG Tips gold pyramid tea bags, I was fascinated by the PG Tips portion of the interview, which of course is repurposing outstanding no agenda content.
You were on the Nick the Rat radio show?
Yeah, I was on Nick the Rat.
Now, I'm going to tell you something, I think.
I don't think PG Tips Gold is as good as just PG Tips.
Hmm.
Okay.
That's all I have to say.
All right.
Well, thank you.
I have another tip.
Since we're going to be on the show all day today.
Um...
I do not think the Kirkland Rioja wine is that good.
People are raving about it on the nose gender social.
Which wine from Kirkland?
That's the Rioja.
It's a Spanish wine.
With the dark blue label, that's when they put their premium stuff.
I found it to be STEMI. STEMI? Yeah.
Hmm.
All right.
Our next anonymous is a handwritten note.
And from Anonymous.
543.21.
Nice number.
Dear John and Adam, I don't remember how I found your show, but no one hit me in the mouth.
Oh.
I was doing a lot of internet searches in April of 2021, struggling emotionally, as I was the only one in my family who hadn't yet gotten the wonder drug.
See, this is the kind of note I love.
I think.
We'll see.
I'm not known for going against the grain.
I'm sure everyone thought it was my loud mouth, always got to stir the pot husband who had convinced me there was something wrong with the vaccine, but that was not true.
In fact, I can't get him to listen to no agenda.
He has a wide network of news sites, blogs, etc., has more time to surf them than I do.
Whenever I mention something from the show, he's almost always ready.
He's almost ready.
He's almost always read about it.
That's fine.
Ultimately, we're on the same page.
Anyway, somehow I stumbled upon N.A.
Can't truly say I have no idea how much it has meant to me, though, especially as I am one of only two people at work who haven't gotten the vax, thus are not welcome in the office during business hours.
Luckily, I've worked at a small Hollywood entertainment company for a couple of decades.
I'm valuable and wasn't let go.
Yes, even as L.A. has finally dropped their vax and mask mandates, one of the company's partners is still fearful of catching COVID, and thus no vax, no entry.
No logic, of course, since double vax and boosted folks get COVID routinely, but he clings to the narrative.
Funny thing is, all during 2020, I was hailed for going into the office each week to take care of critical banking activity, risking myself to keep the company afloat.
Once the vaccine was available and people started straggling back into the office, I lost my status as a hero.
Ha ha!
Sorry this is so long, John, and too much to read on air.
We did it anyway.
I've been writing a mental letter to you guys for months, so you'd think I would have gotten succinct by now.
Suicide, succinct.
I am a complete douchebag, having failed to show my support, so please accept the attached donation.
Please, I could use some health karma from my mom, who's in the middle of chemo, radiation.
Also, I resist we much from Al to help keeping my spine stiff.
I think I have an owl.
Resist we much here.
Love you guys.
No exit strategy for a while.
Okay?
We need you.
I'm very happy to hear that we were of some use.
Resist we much.
We must and we will much about that be committed.
You've got karma.
Bike Count Christopher Kessler from Marshfield, Wisconsin, 490.
And he has a nice note.
Bike Count Christopher 7 birthday wishes for John's birthday.
No jingles, no karma.
Chris Belsky is in Edgewood, Washington.
4-13-40.
This donation reflects my 40th solar return on Wednesday, April 13th.
So if there weren't already enough reasons to purchase a food forest design, know that doing so will help grow this NA producer's business beyond its seedling stage.
Uh-oh.
And thus be a gift for which I will be forever grateful.
If you are ready to stop mowing and start growing, please use the link at my website, pnwfoodforests.com and the code PNWFF to get 5% off a blueprint or consultation.
Okay, I got to stop here.
This is the, I concatenated the note I took and started here.
He wrote a note that is longer than most columns I write.
And then I cut it all out and he went on and on about these food forests and to an extreme.
What exactly is it?
I read the thing a couple of times.
It's just some sort of a system that you can grow where things just keep going on forever.
It has to be professionally set up.
And I would recommend people go to pnwfoodforest.com to find out anything you can, because it'll be linked there, and that's where you can read about it.
And there's some sort of grants going out currently, and it went on and on.
Sorry I had to cut all this out.
He apologized for writing such a long note.
But it was not only long, but it was incredibly tedious.
Any NA producer who ends up hiring my company to install a food forest design will certainly get a more generous discount.
I will soon be looking to hire a dependable core crew in western Washington and would love to bring on other like-minded no-agenda producers so we can listen to the best podcast in the universe as we plant trees and dig swales together.
If you're interested, drop me a line through my website.
You should go to a meetup, Chris.
That's where you want to find people to join you in this.
I want to expound more on permaculture as well on how much this show and community of producers has meant to me over the past year plus, but I know I'm already going on too long.
You do.
And we'll gladly save that for my next executive producer note.
No jingles, just karma for all who need it.
John and Adam, thank you for all you do.
Love is lit.
Chris Belsky.
You've got karma.
Millennial Joe's up with the, he's the unnamed knight from Boston, in Boston 333.70.
And he writes, nice note, short, sweet.
The previous two shows were tremendous.
Thank you, John and Adam, for all you do, and to all the producers for making this one-of-a-kind experience.
A happy birthday, John.
Millennial Joe, the unnamed knight from Boston.
Boom.
Very nice.
Sam Onan in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, 333.70, that's another birthday wish, says, thanks again!
That's the whole note.
We love that.
Best note.
I'll hit Jeffrey Morgan here.
In Bourne End, that's in Great Britain, the UK, 333.60.
And he says, many happy returns to Jean-Claude.
The switcheroo donation of 333.60 is from the runaway slave currently hiding out in the domain of Dame Sheila to celebrate Kendall, keeper of the no agenda numbers, 60th revolution on the merry-go-round.
No jingles, no karma.
So it's a switcheroo.
Does that mean we have to give the credit to Kendall, keeper of the no agenda numbers?
Well, it says switcheroo.
Then we're doing a switcheroo that way.
All right.
Yeah, Dame Sheila.
Yeah, okay.
Consider it done.
And meanwhile, Anonymous from Kentucky, 333.34.

Trump dumps.
Biden, not a joke.
Foreign guy who, are you laughing?
Oh, this I guess are dojangles, I'm sorry.
Trump dumps.
Biden, not a joke.
Foreign guy, why are you laughing?
Kamala cackle.
Guys, love the pod.
Exit strategies are for quitters.
Don't hate on Dave Smith.
Nobody hated on Dave Smith.
As I need someone to vote for in 2024, jingle me.
What Kamala cackle do we have?
I don't think we have.
We have a Kamala.
I don't have a Kamala cackle.
We have a Hillary cackle.
We have Kamala laughing, maybe?
Yeah, that would be it.
She doesn't really laugh.
She just cackles.
Yeah, okay.
Yes, we have this.
We have that.
And is there anyone any karma with that?
Here we go.
They did dumps.
They call them dumps.
Big, massive dumps.
Not a joke.
Think about it.
Don't laugh.
Why you are laughing?
Shut up.
Shut up.
That's just painful.
Thank you.
Painful, painful, painful.
James Barron of Class G Aerospace in Dallas, Texas, 333.34.
Happy birthday, John.
No jingles, no karma, Sir James.
This is a note.
Sir N of the 1B, Huntsville, Alabama, 333.33, and he wants to get out of my vagina, two to the head, and a whole load.
Yeah, we have all of those all lined up for you.
Sir N of the 1B reporting back after almost a year following my instantite status that was donated following the death of my father.
as life is a cruel mistress and I have the best podcast in the universe to thank for some of my remaining sanity.
This note comes in a time of distress as well.
Following the death of my best friend who elected to blow his brains out in an Airbnb in new Orleans during Mardi Gras.
Man.
Why?
To add onto this tragedy, mourning him is challenging as since then I've discovered that slightly over two years ago, he and my wife had an affair.
Oh my God.
Thank you.
I am now leaving her pathetic self and passing on this 333.33 in Freedom Bucks in exchange for some life-starting-over karma.
Jingle request.
Get out of my vagina, followed by two to the head, and the whole load in honor of who I thought was my friend.
Love and light, Sir N of the 1B. Get out of my vagina!
I'm going to give you the whole load today.
Man, I'm sorry to hear that.
That's a bad note.
That's a bad note.
You know what would have made it worse?
If I backed my car out over my dog.
I mean, that's all that was missing.
Sorry, man.
Lawrence Weiler.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I gotta give him the karma.
He needs life starting over karma, which includes a goat.
You've got karma.
John LeClerc, Jan LeClerc in Lawrence Weiler, Luxembourg, 333.33.
Happy birthday to John and me.
I'm 41 today.
You're on the birthday list.
April 10th, can I get a party horns, which I can do on the fly.
And Carm, I long live the best podcast in the universe.

Capitalist Agenda, Fountain Hills, Arizona, 333.33.
Thank you for the jobs, Karma.
Could not be happier.
I'd like to request a dedouching.
You've been dedouched.
That's a dedouching for his smoking hot wife, who also wants a jobs karma for her, Vera.
And he says, Vera, love you to the moon and back.
She absolutely loved the COVID mixtapes.
Thank you for your courage, capitalist agenda, of course.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
He's one of our more experimental artists.
I like his stuff.
John Carpenter in Winnetka.
Winnetka, California?
I wonder where that is.
333.33.
Jingles.
Russia.
What?
I didn't say anything.
Russia M&M? How can they just lie like that?
Well, that one we have.
I don't know about Russia M&M. I don't understand what the Russia M&M was.
I don't get that either.
Coincidence, I think, not.
ITM gents, Ben, meaning to get this off to you, guys hoping the truth bombs you throw will finally take down the facade of bullshit.
That's never going to happen.
Thank you and go Brandon.
Yeah, I wish I knew what the Russian thing was.
I don't have that, so we'll give you this.
How can they lie like that?
Coincidence?
I think not!
I want to mention this is Chap Williams who comes in from Edmond, Oklahoma with a bank check that comes in through the system for 333.33.
And we have yet to hear from Chap.
He sends these checks in randomly about once every couple of shows they show up.
And I want to thank him for sending him in.
Great note, though.
By the way, I'm going to let you read a few because I'm going to see if the dog needs to go out.
I have to tell a dog story.
So the dog now doesn't want to go out because a raccoon scared the crap out of the poor dog.
What kind of a dog?
It's like a basset hound, French dog, I don't know.
This dog is starting to not be very valuable.
It's afraid to go out.
Well, what do you have the dog for?
Yeah, he's supposed to be protecting me from the raccoons instead of cowering in fear.
Yeah, this is a dud dog, man.
You've got to upgrade your experience.
Jeez.
All right.
I shall read a few.
Nathan Garza in Whitestown, Indiana, 333, says, I've been listening since show 410.
Way overdue for a de-douching.
Please de-douche me.
Well, I'm happy to.
You've been de-douched.
Adam and John, you have been a constant in my life for almost a decade now.
And for that, I'm grateful.
Thank you for always being there.
And thank you for being there.
Nathan, I appreciate that.
For jingles, I'd like a general all-purpose karma for everyone out there that needs it.
Indeed, thank you, Nathan Garza.
Here it is.
You've got karma.

Hi, Adam and John, going to my first No Agenda meetup this Sunday.
Can't bear the thought of going as a douchebag, so here you go.

Send it my way.

With this donation, I claim a seat at the roundtable.
Please dub me simply Sir Stephen.
I find myself in needs of Jobs Karma.
The good stuff, please.
Oh, that's a...
He wants the good...
He wants the top shelf.

We got that.
Um...

Hi, Chris.

I'm at TedTat now.
Yes, you are.
He's got a note he sent in for $313.
It says 13 cents there, but it's 31 cents on this one.
First in the morning, and thank you, savers of sanity, for all you do.
May you never find an exit strategy.
Next, a belated happy birthday, John.
My April 8th birthday.
Share John's birthday this week.
My gift to you is this donation, which will qualify me for a gift to myself, a long overdue knighthood.
Is he listed as a knight?
I think maybe.
I don't know if he is or not.
I'm going to check.
I'm going to check.
To avoid creeping douchebaggery by signing up for a sustaining donation subscription, I'd like to be pleased to be dubbed SirFa...
Sir Fodfather.
Not Fodfather, but Fodfather.
I hear you.
Knight of the Circle City.
And for the feast at the round table, I request a fine 2018 Kirkland Signature Bordeaux Superior.
Oh, come on.
And prime rib.
That would actually work.
Well, so we just heard that this was a piece of crap.
No, I said the Rioja.
Oh, okay.
I thought this was the one you thought was a piece of crap.
No, no, no.
I've always said the Signature Bordeaux Superior is a superior product every year that they bring it in.
They do a good job on this wine.
I think they bought the Chateau, and when it's a bad year, they don't even release it, which is great.
There is no 2017.
I'm glad I asked.
Jingles, please.

Let's see if we can find out what the number means.
Greetings from the Great White North Bay of California.
My podcast partner Matthew and I are first-time donators to your show.
We've been listening since Adam's first Joe Rogan appearance, but neither of us had donated yet.
Rogan Donation.
Last week, our good buddy Doug from Transfer Station Firearms and Tattoos blew us away, get it, with his generosity of donating and asking for karma in our name.
What a guy, right?
Well, we are happy to report that the karma paid off in big ways as our podcast, Liberty Tree, got a huge bump from all of the producers who were somehow moved to listen to the rambling libertarian content that we create.
Not only that, but I originally emailed this note to the wrong address, and by stroke of luck at Good Karma, you two postponed the producer segment until next week.
All praise the podcast gods!
Big thanks to Doug, even bigger thanks to the two of you two who have kept us sane in this epic journey through clown world.
We'll take a do-douching if you've got one laying around, always.
You've been de-douched.
And closing, keep up the great work, Kelly and Matthew, and thank you both very much.
Thomas Reynolds, I don't have a note from him.
He came in with $300.
He's in Bella Fontaine, Ohio, and if he sends something in, we'll do it.
We move to associate executive producer, starting with a relatively short note from David Fugizotto, unless there's something else that came in.
But he came in.
He's the Duke of Saudi Arabia.

This is it.
It sounds like an address.

A reminder for Adam.
Reminder.
The remainder for Adam, since I'm assuming that all specific birthday donations go to the birthday king.
We don't want...
We split all our birthday donations.
Yes, of course.
I take a beating on it since I'm older.
Ha!
Hope you both enjoyed your well-deserved holiday.
Don't get me started.
Thank you very much.

Wow.

Nice little area.

I would like to be the knight name of he who lives among the spooks.
And he writes, I live in McLean, Virginia.
Can you imagine what he's going to the grocery store is like there?
Thanks for the great show.
I recently got it.
You probably get a lot of ITMs.
Yeah, no kidding.
Thanks for the great show.
I recently got a new job and had a health issue.

We do it live.
Also, please de-douche him.
Well, hey now.
You've been de-douched.
Not to be cheesy, but I'll love you forever.
Thanks for introducing me to the best podcast in the universe.
Adam and John, thank you for your countless hours of deconstruction.
As a former brainwashed Zoomer, I am constantly going through the show archive and am flabbergasted that I would blindly fall for the always fear-mongering M5M propaganda.
Keep up the great work.
No jingles.
Just a big helping of goat karma, please.
Thank you for your courage.
Well, I'm happy to hear that.
You've got karma.
I agree.
For people who are just kind of getting hit in the mouth and you go back and just needle drop, you needle drop.
Just pick one.
Pick one.
Pick any episode you want and you'll be amazed.
Okay, I get the last two, which is Lauren Byrne in Dublin, Ireland.
$200.
I don't have a note from her.
Or Lorkan.
I'm sorry, Lorkan Byrne.
Byrne, B-Y-R-N-E. We get a note from him or her?
Mm-hmm.
And we'll read it at a later time, because there's news from Ireland.
Yes.
Melissa LaSalle, or LaSalle, in Round Rock, Texas, your neck of the woods, comes in with $200, and this will be our last donation for this segment.
Hello, John and Adam.
Please de-douche me.
You've been de-douched.
I was introduced to your podcast October 2020 versus Saddle Tramp Stories on Instagram and haven't missed an episode yet.
I know who Saddle Tramp is.
She's hilarious.
She sits there making saddle stuff, listening to the show.
And then she puts that on Instagram.
It's great.
Request baby-making karma, abiding the whole load, and monk karma, whatever that is, and I love you, mean it.
I love you mean it.
I love you mean it.
Do we have a drop of that?
I don't...
Well, yes, we do, actually.
There was a love you mean it.
Yes, yes, yes, we do have all this.
Okay, here we go.
Love you mean it.
I'm gonna give you the whole load today.
You've got karma.
Okay, I was unaware of that.
Yeah.
Well, this is our group of producers and executive producers, associate executive producers for show 1441 of Palindrome.
I want to thank each and every one of them for contributing and helping this show while we're taking a week off, which makes it even more nicer.
Spectacular.
At least for me.
Spectacular.
I'm relaxed in my experience.
We are bushwhacked.
We're so tired from our vacation.
This means we're going to take another vacation, I'm guessing, soon.
Well, actually, and I should have prefaced by saying that tens of thousands of Americans went through exactly what we went through.
So I don't want to see him as complaining.
I'm just pointing out where the problems are.
And that Poot Buttigieg, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, should shut up.
Shut up about fining unruly passengers and get some shit fixed, you dick.
Stop talking about all kinds of non-relevant stuff.
These guys should resign.
It's ridiculous what's happening.
But yes, thank you for...
This is a nice way to come back.
Know that people care about us and support the show.
And if you'd like to do that for our next episode, which is Sunday, we'll be right back on it.
There's a lot to deconstruct.
Go to...
And our sincerest thanks for your production of episode 1441.
Our formula is this.
We go out...
We'll hit people in the mouth.
Order!
Order!
Shut up, slave!
Shut up, slave.
Let me play Mayor Pete right off the bat with Anna Navarro.
In my state of Florida, with the so-called don't say gay law now, which he says will kill kids.
Do you agree?
Hold on, stop.
Did she call it so-called properly?
Yep.
She said so-called.
Yes, she did.
But there's something else coming.
...will kill kids.
Do you agree?
And, you know, as a politician, because this strikes you as, you know, your husband is a teacher.
You are obviously LGBTQ yourself, and you are now a parent.
Okay, I love that she says, because I'm going to use this, you are obviously LGBTQ yourself, So he's not gay.
No, no.
He's LGBTQ. He's lesbian.
He's gay.
He's bisexual.
And he's trans.
And I think there was a plus.
Hold on, let me just say.
You know, your husband is a teacher.
You are obviously LGBTQ yourself.
And you are now a parent.
No, I think she should have added the plus.
And he's just sitting there going, yeah, that's right.
I am.
I'm LGBTQ. I'm LGBTQ. Do you remember?
That's an interesting catch.
Well, do you remember?
I don't know if I would have caught it.
Do you remember when Pete Buttigieg first came on the scene, we had a report, a boots-on-the-ground report from someone who served with him when he had his kind of phony baloney tour of, you know, like, put on the uniform and sit in the office?
And if I recall, I'd have to look it up, and maybe that producer can send me a note again.
There was the insinuation that he only really became gay when it was a way for him to get into politics.
I don't know.
But that it was phony.
I remember this.
That it was phony.
Yeah, he's a phony gay.
He's a phony gay.
A pho gay.
You remember that, right?
Oh yeah, I remember it.
Yes.
So anyway, so...
And we got a letter from, I think, that producer who had a long story to tell about it.
Oh man.
He's the one who explicitly ran into him or something.
The guy wasn't gay and now he's gay.
So the reason why I picked this clip, and of course we can talk about what's going on with the don't say so-called gay bill, but the transportation system is melting down.
And all this guy can do is talk about this.
And here's his answer, by the way.
Well, I'll just say he also takes it.
It seems he takes most of it.
He thinks of this job as just a phony job, like an honorific job.
So he never even comes into the office.
Let me give this a shot.
In my state of Florida, with the so-called don't say gay law now, which he says will kill kids.
Do you agree?
And, you know, as a politician, because this strikes you as, you know, your husband is a teacher.
You are obviously LGBTQ yourself, and you are now a parent.
Yeah.
So, how do you feel about this?
Yeah, he's right.
And I think every law ought to be judged for the effect it's going to have on real people in real life.
And I get the political reasons why they're doing this.
By the way, some of those political reasons, they don't have a plan on anything else, right?
I mean, they don't have a plan on dealing with inflation or dealing with gas prices.
What?
Oh, yeah.
This guy has no business being in government at all.
He's just spouting off nonsense.
What's your plan, Pete?
This law, I forgot the name of it, the real name, because it's been drummed into me this don't say gay when it's got nothing to do with it.
It's supposed to cure inflation?
According to Pete, his plan will.
I don't know.
This guy's a nut.
Let's find out.
What is the name of that bill?
We need to know that, actually.
Um...
It's in Florida.
Yeah, it's the Save Our Children Act or something like that.
Yeah, it has just as polarizing a name, of course.
Because this is really both sides of the political...
And I agree with the content of the bill, which has nothing to do with Don't Say Gay.
I don't think this should be in public or schooling at all.
Parents should be doing this.
Um...
But this is both political parties abusing children for political gain.
Even though it may actually be from a good heart.
But just this constant back and forth.
It's a bill...
House Bill 1557.
I don't see a name, a title for it.
Yeah, something like Save the Children.
It does have a name.
Well, this is very interesting because it's kind of a confluence of things happening.
With Ketanji Brown-Jackson, with her short sentences for child sex...
Pedophiles.
Pornographers.
Pornographers.
Child pornographers.
Child collectors.
I don't know if...
See, you have...
Collectors.
To be technical about it, someone who collects the pictures is a pedophile.
Someone who assaults children sexually is a pedosexual, to be very precise about it.
That's a precise term.
But it doesn't matter.
With this pushback and the Disney thing, that's why the Republicans, and I'd love to know who cooked up, who concocted the groomer label, So now it's just...
Genius, by the way.
It is genius.
And what is most interesting is how the Democrats are yelling at people like, are you insane to call anybody a pedophile?
Which they're not, they're calling them groomers.
Whereas for seven years we've heard racist, Nazi, Hitler, misogynist.
That's a good point.
Not good either, I would say.
Non-stop name-calling.
But now I just want to play this one clip from Jen Psaki, the future MSNBC anchor.
Another topic.
By the way, did you notice that the MSNBC folk are all bent out of shape about this?
I have a clip.
We'll get to that.
But first, let's play Jen Psaki, spokeshole for the government, for the White House.
And this is about, I think Alabama now is a similar law, and again, for those not living here, it is a prohibition on schools teaching sexuality and gender studies before a certain age, and most I think is third grade, so seven, eight, nine years old.
But regardless, that should be up to parents and the schools disagree.
But now listen to how the White House, how the government is positioning the sovereign state of Alabama and or Florida coming up with these rules that are being voted on by their constituents.
Last item for you before we get to your questions.
Across the country, as we've talked about a bit in here, Republican elected officials are engaging in a disturbing, cynical trend of attacking vulnerable transgender kids for purely partisan political reasons.
Today in Alabama, instead of focusing on critical kitchen table issues like the economy, COVID or addressing the country's mental health crisis, Republican lawmakers are currently debating legislation that, among many things, would target trans use with tactics that threatens to put pediatricians in prison if they provide medically would target trans use with tactics that threatens to put pediatricians in prison if they provide medically necessary life-saving
Now, of course, at issue here is the life-saving part of it, and that kind of goes back to what we were talking about, how much of this is a fad, how much is this something that happens in these times like Weimar, how much is it really life-saving because these children would otherwise perhaps how much is it really life-saving because these children would otherwise perhaps commit suicide because they couldn't be in their own This is a lot of stretch for her to just throw this out in a sentence.
Just like the extreme government overreach we've seen in Texas, where politicians have sent state officials into the homes of loving parents to investigate them for abuse just to harass and intimidate the LGBTQI plus community.
Oh, it's the QI plus community.
Today's vote in Alabama will only serve to.
to harm kids.
Alabama's lawmakers and other legislators who are contemplating these discriminatory bills have been put on notice by the Department of Justice.
What the hell does that mean?
This is very scary.
When the White House says the Department of Justice has put those lawmakers on notice, does the Department of Justice, do they have any standing?
There's federal laws being violated, they do, but only if federal laws are being violated, so they must think there's some federal law, probably equal protection, being violated.
Today's vote in Alabama will only serve to harm kids, but Alabama's lawmakers and other legislators who are contemplating these discriminatory bills have been put on notice by the Department of Justice and the Department of Health and Human Services that laws and policies preventing care that health care professionals recommend for transgender minors may violate the Constitution and federal law.
To be clear, every major medical association agrees that gender-affirming health care For transgender kids is a best practice and potentially life-saving.
All of this begs an important question.
What are these policies actually trying to solve for?
LGBTQI plus people can't be erased or forced back into any closets, and kids across our nation should be allowed to be who they are without the threat that their parents or their doctor could be imprisoned simply for helping them and loving them.
President Biden has committed in both words and actions to fight for all Americans and will not hesitate to hold these states accountable.
So being who you are means chemical castration for an 8-year-old?
I'm just asking.
Yeah, no, I know exactly what you're asking.
It is...
So...
I know transgender people.
We know that we have friends.
You read a good note the last show.
Yeah, well, that was from Ali Jade, the official trans.
She's the one who's our transgender spokesperson.
So just to set it all clear for people who think, what the hell is America doing, if you're from outside, or even if you're in the U.S., what is this all about?
The fear is, and if you read Abigail Schreier's book, and if you've read all the other books, and I read the My Child is Transgendered, What Do I Do Now book, which is the book, and it's really more about politics than about your child and what your child is going through.
But the fear is that many young people don't feel good.
They feel anxious.
They feel like shit.
They're confused.
There's a lot of weird stuff going on.
There's a lot of messages telling you how you should be.
There's viral videos, social networks, and the thought can come up like, well, maybe I need to change something to my body because it seems like that'll make me happier.
And we know friends of ours who have had kids transition, In this case, female to male.
And it's been a disaster.
I'm not saying that it doesn't work out for many, but come on, let's get the government out of this in the first place, and let's definitely...
Let's look at ages of what kind of procedures can be done and not have laws being written that allow children to get all kinds of gender-transforming drugs and puberty blockers without parents' consent when they're clearly underage.
I mean, this just can't make any sense to anybody unless you're deranged.
I don't know.
There's that element.
Do you think Saki actually believes this shit?
That she's saying?
I don't know what she...
You know, it's hard to say what this group of people...
It's hard to say what their sincerity level is, and I think so, yes.
I have to say yes.
I don't think she's just sitting up there bullshitting.
She's sincere, and I think most of the people that are on that side of the argument are very sincere about it.
I don't think they're, let's see what we can do to make everyone a woman.
I don't think so.
I think she's dead sincere.
Ed O'Keefe works for CBS. He is a White House correspondent.
And he brought up to Jen Psaki a question about the news.
It felt more like news than a rumor.
It was people familiar with the matter.
That usually means it's true.
That she would be leaving the White House for a gig at MSNBC, which would be, I don't know, she probably wouldn't get a show, but maybe she would want to go the way of Nicole Wallace, or who knows what they've promised her, probably a ramp up.
Yeah, a ramp up.
And as you mentioned, this is causing some issues for journalists, and they have questions about it.
I have two clips here.
Is it true that you are leaving the White House to work for MSNBC? Well, you can't get rid of me yet, Ed.
I have nothing to confirm about my length of public service or planned service or anything about consideration about next plans.
I'm very happy to be standing with all of you here today after it felt like a never-ending, endless time in my basement, quarantining away from my Believe it or not, I missed you all a lot.
And my focus every day continues to be speaking on behalf of the President, answering your questions as tough as they may be at many times, as difficult as they may be to answer at many times.
Hold on, stop, stop, stop.
You have to back it up a little bit.
I didn't notice this before because I never thought she was in that milieu, but she is picking up the cadence of the milieu that Blinken's in with this staccato presentation.
Oh, let's listen to it.
Yeah, let's listen to it.
plan service or anything about consideration about next plans.
I'm very happy to be standing with all of you here today after it felt like a never-ending, endless time in my basement, quarantining away from my family.
Believe it or not, she likes to talk.
I'm talking to you.
A little up talking.
A lot.
And my focus every day continues to be speaking on behalf of the president, answering your questions as tough as they may be at many times, as difficult as they may be to answer at many times.
And I hope that I meet my own bar of treating everybody with fairness and being equitable.
Right, so non-answer, so she's saying, well, yeah, basic.
But, follow-up.
And just because this has been raised by our colleagues, by people who are observing this process, is it ethical for you to continue conducting this job while negotiating with the media?
Before she answers, I want to ask you, since you are an official real journalist, you know about newsroom ethics, you understand the biz, is this ethical for her to continue even though she's in negotiation for a job at the big and powerful NBC News?
Well, I think that is a good question.
Is it a great question?
Is it a great question?
It's never a great question.
It's yes and no.
I'd say if this had anything to do with your New York Times, or you were going to go there, or anything to do with the New York Times, it's totally unethical because the way that certain newspapers play it is that almost everything's unethical.
And for the purposes of haughty bullcrap, I think they're full of shit the way they handle it, but this is what they do.
In terms of going to a broadcast network, I don't think so.
I don't think it's unethical at all.
I think it's fine and daddy.
It's just two sides of the same coin.
I don't see it being an issue because unless MSNBC can be shown, even though they are a Democrat stronghold and they're very liberal, I don't think that there's any difference between them and the Biden administration.
I don't think there's any ethics involved whatsoever.
I think that's a question out of left field.
Ah, so what you're really saying is she's just going back to the press room.
She's just going to sit where those other guys are sitting asking her questions.
I don't personally see it as an ethical issue.
With the media...
Well, I have always gone over and above the stringent ethical and legal requirements of the Biden administration, and I take that very seriously.
And as a standard for every employee of the White House, I have received rigorous ethics counseling, including as it relates to any future employment.
I've complied with all ethics requirements.
I've gone beyond and taken steps to recuse myself from decisions as appropriate.
And so I hope that all of you, I've been working with all of you some time, would judge me for my record and how I treat all of you, both in the briefing room and otherwise.
And I try to answer questions from everybody across the board.
I know everybody in the back of the room may not always be pleased with me, but I try my best.
And I will certainly continue to do that.
No, I can predict what's going to happen.
She is going to leave NBC in tears.
She is not likable.
She has a snooty, snotty attitude.
She's a know-it-all.
She's already not liked by her colleagues now, or potential colleagues.
And the money that she'll be receiving will make for great discontent within the ranks, and she will leave in tears.
It's the money.
The money.
Now, the fact that they're already up in arms, supposedly, at MSNBC, because what happened when they made this announcement is that it looks too obvious that there's no difference between MSNBC and the White House.
They're spokespeople in a different form.
Correct.
And they promote, they parrot the administration, everything's, you know, I guess the psyche said, what difference does it make if I work here or there?
It's the same thing.
And expect any blowbacks, you know, thinking that she's going to be welcomed, you know, oh, great, I'm glad you're here.
And it's not going to happen, even though I don't think she's any snootier than anybody else over there, especially Scarborough and Mika and the rest of them.
And, uh, it's just like, uh, there's something, there's something funny about what happened.
I'm not sure what it is.
She is the type that will lord it over everybody because she's been there.
Do you think that she will, that she's aiming for the, um, what's her name?
Rachel Maddow slot?
She can't do Rachel.
Rachel's a comedian.
And she has a presentation like...
Rachel, you're telling me Rachel Maddow is a comedian?
She was.
I believe she was a comedian.
That's how she started.
She was on Air America.
That's where, as one of the comedians that was on Air America, I believe.
I would not have to look it up.
I could be wrong.
But as far as I know, she was a comedian.
Who has, you know, came and she was trained pretty much by Olbermann how to do the bit and took it to an extreme and got very popular with a certain audience.
No, Psaki can't do that, Judge.
She cannot be Rachel.
I mean, Tucker Carlson could take over O'Reilly's spot because Tucker, which he did, took over this time slot, took over everything, took over the business.
Because Tucker is an old pro and he could do it.
He could waltz into it.
He's personable.
He's not unlikable like O'Reilly.
It's just a better fit.
Hey, did you know this?
Hold on.
In 2005, Maddow became a regular panelist on the MSNBC show Tucker, hosted by Tucker Carlson.
Right, Tucker worked for MSNBC. She was a regular panelist.
I didn't know that.
I didn't know that either.
I never watched that show.
There's no evidence she was ever a comedian, according to Wikipedia.
Okay, well if it's not in there, then it's not true.
But I've always thought of her as a comedian.
A funny one, or just a comedian?
She's not funny.
I've never heard her be funny ever.
I think her timing is comedic.
I think she presents in a comedic fashion.
She presents irony.
Everything she does is comedic.
It's on her show.
It's funny because it's so ridiculous.
Well, there's that.
I just don't know.
I just don't know.
I don't think it's intentional.
I think it's totally intentional.
But you're right.
I mean, Oberman thinks he's funny, too.
The bottom line is that...
It's a revolving door between the propaganda in government and the propaganda in commercial television.
I don't think they like the fact that they made it look so obvious.
Someone's not happy with it.
Somebody, some one person, and maybe, you know, you just may have named her.
It could be Rachel.
Rachel trying to screw with her.
She sees this as well.
Maybe they're trying to get rid of me and put this woman in.
Somebody leaked it.
Somebody leaked it for sure.
Rachel runs.
She's the one that's supposed to be the strong one there.
So she could be the one that set this up.
Or maybe Rachel's run into it and they don't like each other.
I can see that.
I would love to see them have to do a show together.
Force them.
Oh yeah, if you're the executive, then that's what you do.
So I want to rectify one thing.
The president, who is in elder abuse, he's in deep trouble, the man really can barely function properly, he got kind of screwed on the way this was clipped of his flub as he's introducing the new Supreme Court justice.
And I wanted to play the full clip because the way this played, I'll play it and I'll tell you how every comment on Twitter went.
Let me close with what I've long said.
America is a nation that can be defined in a single word.
I was in the foothills of the Himalayas with Xi Jinping.
And it stopped there.
So every comment on Twitter was, he can't even say blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
That's a good clip.
And it's a great clip, but it's actually...
So, of course, the one word wasn't...
And I just want to play the whole thing.
So you know that we try to play it fair here on the No Agenda show.
We like to...
We really look at all sides.
We get duped, too.
He really did have a single word, except the man can't read the teleprompter.
And it got worse after this initial flub.
Let me close what I've long said.
America is a nation that can be defined in a single word.
I was in the foothills of the Himalayas with Xi Jinping, traveling with him.
I traveled 17,000 miles when I was vice president.
I don't know that for a fact.
And we were sitting alone.
I had an interpreter and he had an interpreter.
And he looked at me in all seriousness and said, can you define America for me?
And I said, well, many of you heard me say for a long time.
I said, yes, I can.
In one word.
Possibilities.
Possibilities.
That in America, everyone should be able to go as far as their hard work and God-given talent will take them.
And possibilities.
We're the only ones.
That's why we're viewed as the ugly Americans.
We think anything is possible.
He did a great one here at the end.
Listen to this one.
Talent will take them.
And possibilities.
We're the only ones.
That's why we're viewed as the ugly Americans.
We think anything is possible.
What did he say?
I think he said, listen to it again with my interpretation.
Yes.
I think he said, that's why we're viewed as ugly Americans.
No.
Hold on.
Listen to it.
Possibilities.
We're the only ones.
That's why we're viewed as ugly Americans.
We think anything's possible.
You're right.
He said, that's why we're viewed as ugly Americans.
Why would he even say something like, I don't think we're viewed as ugly Americans.
Well, he thinks we're viewed as ugly Americans because we think that possibilities are endless.
That's more or less what he said there.
That's not why we're viewed as ugly Americans if we're viewed as ugly Americans, not because we think that possibilities are endless.
We're viewed as ugly Americans because, like, traveling Germans are viewed in most of the world because we act like assholes.
There you go.
Let's just be honest about it.
All right, so there was lots of action at the White House.
I don't think we have to go through the pathetic videos.
I want to interrupt.
I think it's getting kind of weird that I can now interpret the gibberish of the president.
Yeah, that is concerning.
President Obama swung by the White House to hang out with Kamala and have Joe carry his coattails, lift them up, carry his train, as it were.
But there was something that popped up that bothered me.
Hey, the Biden-Harris administration is going even further.
By moving to fix a glitch in the regulations that will lower premiums for nearly 1 million people who need it.
And allow 200,000 more uninsured Americans get access to coverage.
What is this glitch?
I am sick of anyone using glitch as an excuse.
What glitch?
You know, I've never heard this from you before.
Here's another one.
The four-day computer crash that prompted a magistrate to release more than 280 criminal defendants from our jails is still not fixed.
And prosecutors are saying similar crashes, similar glitches have happened at least four times in the last two years.
This is not a glitch.
This is an outage of major proportions that had the system down, completely down from Thursday evening through Sunday.
Eight days later, and the J-Web system still has parts and pieces that remain down.
You have a lot of people now who work at Universal Services who are not familiar with this system.
They're not familiar with the gravity of it and the complexity of it.
So when it goes down, they don't know how to bring it back up swiftly and correctly.
It's not known how many defendants have had to be let out of jail or had to stay longer than needed because of J-Web crashes.
This is Houston.
A glitch.
It's unacceptable.
And it's been going on for two years and they're letting criminals out of jail because of a glitch?
Oh man, I can't wait until the social credit score is here.
Yeah, it's going to work.
I'm sorry.
You have to stay in your house because of a glitch.
Yeah, actually there's more proof that these computer systems aren't that good.
Can't be relied on.
No.
They suck.
hey let's thank some people i'm gonna show myself all by donating to no agenda imagine all the people who could do that oh yeah that'd be fab all right i'm gonna run through the people to thank here for show uh 1441 the people that contributed over 50 dollars and showed their appreciation I want you, if you can, to keep an eye out for some de-douching because I'm going to go as fast as I can.

By law.
This is a birthday donation for John, as well as an April birthday call-out to my husband, who will remain anonymous.
He has been a producer with a sustaining donation for many years.
Last fall, his donation finally added up to enough for knighthood, but he hasn't asked to be knighted as my birthday gift to him.
I am going to ask him to be knighted as, and he's on the list as far as I know, as Sir Input Protector of the Least of These...
Sir Input, protector of the least of these.

We're going to have a vacation, not a hiatus.
And we're back.
And we have a note from a $20 a month donor, which we need to read.
This is Matthew Funk.
He says, I've been with no agenda sporadically from the start because of my love for all things JCD. Cage match, cranky geeks, the long dead to me twit netcasts.
Connecting with other dudes named Ben and Dutchman in the wild.
It's silky smooth because of you guys.
Sochtens Nautsegers and Cyril Kuppendijk.
No idea what that means.
In the morning, to my fat-lipped father, Bob Funk, who hit my nephew, Caleb Funk, in the mouth, no agenda is sweeping through the family like a bad case of the Omicron variant.
I'm honored to join the roundtable, not that my sustaining donation of $20 a month has finally come to fruition.
Seriously, slaves...
Stop waiting for a producer-level donation to magically become available in your bank account.
Get off your butt, cast aside douchebaggery, set up a sustaining donation, and join me at the roundtable.
Be a sustainer, not a complainer.
In anticipation of my membership to the roundtable, I've pondered a unique title for years leading up to this monumental occasion.
With the last name of Funk, one would think that witty titles would abound.
However, I finally confidently request the title Sir Mr.
F of the Columbia River Passage.
Thanks for your courage, Adam and John, your humble servant, Matthew Funk.
And thank you so much.
Thank you to all of our producers.
Everyone who came in under 50 for those sustaining donations that soon-to-be-Sir Matthew Funk just mentioned.
And, of course, our executive and associate executive producers who receive a credit which is valid anywhere credits are recognized.
Thank you all so much.
As requested, your jobs, Karma.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!

I do have one clip I want to play before we go because it's important.

Yeah, that's what I'm going to do.
I got my first ISO. Okay.

That is terrible.
I like that.
That may be a good one.
Let me see.
I think I may have beaters here.
I might have a beater.
This one clearly needs a jackup of audio.
Hold on a second.
Let me get this for you.
But I don't speak Russian!
That was kind of funny.
I'm convinced it sucks.
I think this is the one, though.
I think you'll like this.
Oh, my.
Wow.
Wow, wow, wow.
Okay, first of all, I do like that one.
But it's a little long by your standards.
A little long, I agree.
But I think it would take that one.
How about the I Don't Speak Russian?
You like this one better?
No, I like the I Don't Speak Russian.
It's funnier, but I think the wow, wow, wow is more appropriate for the show ending.
Okay, I got you.
Alright, now your final clip.
So we have to have the douchebag report before we go on with anything else, which is the latest space tourism clip, which is played up everywhere in the world.
Not so much in the United States, but I got this one from Al Jazeera about the, well, here it is, latest space tour douchebags.
Another giant leap for space tourism this weekend.
The first all-private team of astronauts has docked at the International Space Station.
They'll carry out some scientific research and other projects during their eight-day stay.
Sarah Chayrat explains.
Floating in the galactic ocean towards the International Space Station.
Initial contact made.
The soft capture ring is now going to begin to retract.
Mission Control in Los Angeles watches patiently as the Endeavour capsule docks smoothly.
On the other side of the hatch, a team at the International Space Station welcomes three astronauts on the trip of a lifetime.
Retired NASA astronaut Michael Lopez-Alegria led the 20-hour flight for the first-timers, Eton Stibb, Mark Pathy and Larry Connor.
The entrepreneurs paid $55 million each to stay in space for just over a week.
It's the first non-professional astronaut team to travel to the ISS. NASA and others say it's a milestone in the commercialization of low Earth orbit.
But critics say the private space race needs to be regulated.
There is a lot of rich people who want to have in their belts that they traveled to space and came back.
So that is going to be one sector.
But for commercial exploitation of space, I think the laws need to come in place globally.
But manufacturing in space is one more area which will have to be booked at in times to come, how it could be done.
The mission is a collaboration between Elon Musk's SpaceX, commercial spaceflight company Axiom, and NASA. Under three meters.
On board the ISS and orbiting 400 kilometers above sea level, there'll be no time for leisure for the tourists.
They'll be put to work on several research projects for the next eight days, including an experiment involving cancer stem cells.
We're never going to the moon again, are we?
So they say pay $55 million to take this trip, and then they put them to work.
Yeah.
So you're paying for a job.
Yeah.
Hey, if you got $55 million, you know, who cares?
And they can all do whatever they want.
The only one who can throw $55 million away just to take a trip to space is that this is an oligarch.
They should take away everything they own.
Yeah, that's right.
Don't worry.
They're coming for all the oligarchs.
You watch.
Okay.
So, needless to say, we won't be back on Sunday.
We'll be back on Thursday.
Ah.
Sorry.
Time off.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Thank you all so much for producing this show.
Thank you, Clip Custodian.
Thank you to execs, associate execs, the birthday well-wishers, everybody who helped us put this together.
We're going to do another one, 1442.
Looking forward to that.
Remember us at dvorak.org.
End of show mixes, Derek Birch, Amdusius, Tom Starkweather, Leo LePuke, and Professor JJ.
Coming up next on noagendastream.com, if you're listening live, Canary Cry News Talk with Basil and Gons.
Ha, ha, ha.
Gons.
Gons, yeah.
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 the weather is fantastic at last week.
It was great.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
We return on Thursday right here on No Agenda.
Please remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA. Until then, adios mofos!
And such.
But even I'm a little weary, you know, of just all the barrage of messages, which I have to watch.
That's my job.
Thank God for the holy herb, brother.
What's real, people?
The propaganda machines on overload, people?
Every week I seem to ask, what are we doing here?
Laughter is the best medicine, but that's funny to hear.
No agenda comedy, we can't get there.
Cold with Ukraine, now slap gig, it's hard to care.
Chris Rock touching the nerve is just absurd.
We're laughing it off, but Jada was not perturbed.
Alopecia jokes, now we can't condone.
A loud naugus in your home, I guess you threw Jada a bone.
G.I.J. and guests couldn't shut the cuck up.
I'm using God and Richard Williams in his speeches, kind of fucked up.
The two of you who claim bad marriage for life, that's what they said.
Blame it on the ah-ah-ah-ah, alopecia baldhead.
Hear me clearly, the show is 8.30.
Avoid disappointment and come a little early, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
And I have to say, that was a show of toxic masculinity.
Toilet, toilet, toilet, toilet.
That's right, Will Smith walked on stage during last night's Academy Awards show and slapped Chris Rock in the face.
And I gotta say, the last thing I ever expected to see at the Oscars was a display of narcissism.
He was slapped in front of millions of people internationally, and he took the high road in his response.
I think that Will was immature, I think he was childish, and I think he was not.
I'm sickened.
I'm sickened by the standing ovation.
I felt like Hollywood is just spineless, en masse.
And it just, it really felt like, oh, this is a really clear indication that we're not the cool club anymore.
They want us to be edgy.
They want us to go out there and say things that other people are just thinking.
They want us to take a risk.
And I don't condone violence.
I just don't see any reason for it.
You know, I think any time...
You know, Chris is one of those comics that he and Chappelle are the goats.
And they're like the youngest, oldest comics in the world.
They've been doing this since they were kids.
First of all, do you know that joke that Chris did?
I remember when that movie came out.
And that was a way to insult a woman, her sexuality, her physique.
It was a way to call a woman a homosexual, basically.
And she's sitting right next to her.
I remember that in school, that they would do that to people.
It's kind of messed up.
The happiest place on earth?
Not anymore.
To those who are living in Florida, we want you here in New York.
It's a lightning rod issue down in Florida.
Governor DeSantis here of late.
Critics have called the parental rights and education bill the Don't Say Bill.
The so-called Don't Say Bill.
In response to Florida's so-called Don't Say Law.
The so-called Don't Say Bill.
Does it say that in the bill?
Does it say that in the bill?
Why is the so-called don't say s**t law being talked about here in the Lone Star State?
The new bill proposed in the Ohio House is storing up some controversy.
He wants a Texas version of the new Florida law dubbed the don't say s**t bill by critics.
Don't say s**t.
The controversial bill in Florida that became law now might be coming to Ohio.
Does it say that in the bill?
Does it say that in the bill?
That's what this movement of don't say is about.
Yeah, I think they let themselves get sucked into this idea that it's don't say bill when it is not.
Right.
It basically says that K-3 should not be taught sex education.
Ron DeSantis has taken a stand and said, no, you cannot say in school anymore.
I'm just like, I'm so jazzed.
And in Florida, Does it say that in the bill?
Does it say that in the bill?
I do want to ask you about Florida's don't say bill.
Legislation just passed that opponent's call don't say.
Nowhere in this bill does it say the word.
Obama was back in the White House for the first time in five years.
To get that pack of smokes he forgot in the Lincoln bedroom.
It is good to be back in the White House.
Feels good, doesn't it?
Welcome back to the White House, man.
Feels like the good old days.
I heard some changes have been made.
Vice President Biden...
The Navy mess has been replaced by a Baskin-Robbins.
There's a cat running around.
Did you see Joe Biden wandering aimlessly yesterday at the White House?
It was so sad.
It was absolutely pathetic.
Kamala Harris participated in this.
She could not leave Barack Obama's side.
And Joe Biden was just left literally in the background trying to get someone's attention.
No one would talk to him.
To help him find the potty or something.
Joe just wanted some attention.
While Barack was there, President of the United States is in the White House being completely ignored by everyone.
I get up in the morning and look at Joe and say, where the hell are we?
Pray to God, true story.
Name is actor Sean Penn.
How are you?
And here we are.
I only played at the end of my 10th grade class and had a summer vacation like I did.
I've never felt this way.
I said that I don't trust you.
Is there a reason you didn't trust me?
The story interested me, and yet we've got to get on with life.
You were there in November of 2021.
We were children no more.
as people and babies are being vaporized.
- I took the incubators and left the children to die on a cold floor.
- Yeah, I was there.
I saw the rest of the soldiers coming to the hospital with guns.
They took the babies out of the incubators.
I read that you were there.
And you're chronicling all of this.
President Zelensky had been a comedic actor who had played a character that then became the president and then became the president.
We went initially to make a documentary.
Why were you there originally to do a documentary?
Thank you, ladies.
I love your children to die on the cold floor.
We went to Mario Polk to eat on the front lines, and then we also were in Kiev.
And you develop a relationship with Zelensky.
I met him face-to-face for the first time the day before the invasion.
I know that Trump gave them javelins.
Lesson to be learned here, don't give up your nuclear weapons if you have them.
You're your children no more.
If only one bully is gonna be able to use those weapons as a threat, we gotta rethink what we're doing.
It is clear to me that the Ukrainians will win this.
Thank you, baby.
I'm lucky children to die on a cold floor.
Hospitals targeted.
You know, two squadrons is probably what it would take from everyone that's an expert I've talked to.
He supplied Stinger missiles to the Mujahideen.
By the way, not perfect partners by any means.
And I watched this comedian get elected on any corruption platform.
The Iraqis dunked his head into a swimming pool until he almost drowned.
He pulled out his fingernails and then applied electric shock to sensitive private parts of his body.
If there is a God, there will be vengeance.
Fight the war to win it.
We're children no more.
If there is a God, there will be vengeance.
The best podcast in the universe.
Oh, Dvorak.org slash N-A Oh my!
Wow!
