This is your award-winning Gilmore Nation Media Assassination, Episode 1448.
This is No Agenda.
Celebrating Sanko!
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 in California where we're still celebrating abortions.
I'm John C. Devorak.
It's Craig Vaughn and Buzzkill in the morning.
Yeah, you guys are great.
We love you.
We love you.
Hey, let your abortions come here to California.
Happy Cinco de Mayo.
And Cinco de Mayo to you.
Or as you say, Cinco de Mayo, this is why we say it, because you say it during the singing of the song.
I know, but that's because the song calls for the lyrics, Cinco de Mayo, not Cinco.
That's our song.
It's our lyrics.
So this is a celebration of a defeat?
That's interesting.
It's the stupidest holiday there is.
They like to dance.
It was interesting.
In the newsletter, you said the Netherlands celebrates Independence Day, which makes it sound kind of weird.
It was really, I think, Liberation Day.
Yeah, Liberation from the Nazis.
Yes, yes.
But it came across like Independence Day.
I had to think about it for a second.
Wait a minute, that makes sense.
You never got the bikes back, by the way.
New time.
Thank you very much.
Thank you to the management for sending out a special note.
I get a kick out of all caps, the management.
That is so like 1940s almost, don't you think?
Why did you do that?
I mean, what was your inspiration?
I've done it before.
I know.
What is the inspiration?
Because I like it.
It comes actually, I think it stems as an offshoot of the memo writing class that I once took when I worked for the government.
Yes.
It was a seminar, believe it or not, an all-day seminar on how to write a memo.
And to this day, I can write a kick-ass memo.
If I was in a corporation, you'd be stunned.
I know how to do them, how to format them, how to write them, how to set them up, everything.
And that type of thing where you have the management, in all caps, is kind of an offshoot of what I learned.
Well, you learned well, for sure.
It has a good look.
This was a very interesting week that we went through, media-wise.
We had this leak from the Supreme Court, which was just phenomenal to see.
I'm always paying attention to the initial reactions.
What are we seeing?
And right away, this was based on a Politico piece.
Did you see the actual Politico piece itself?
Did you read that?
I looked at it.
Okay, so...
I have a clip that outlines this whole thing.
But I want you to see if you can remember what you saw, and then we'll do your setup clip.
I don't remember anything.
Okay, well, Supreme Court has voted to overturn abortion rights draft opinion shows.
And they show this picture of protesters in front of the Supreme Court.
Well, interesting coincidence.
Yeah, but wait!
So first of all, lots of professional signs.
No agenda people know what that's about.
Lots of professional signs.
That means, hey, hey, this was set up.
Now the three in the front, there's one woman, bands off my body.
There's another one holding a bands off our bodies, professionally printed signs.
Then there's a lady from Code Pink who has pink hair and has a bands off our bodies Code Pink.
So that would be the Code Pink faction.
But then behind them, there's three times as many people With expose and shut down the abortion industrial complex now.
Liberal atheists against abortion.
Keep our clinics.
Let their hearts beat.
Oh, sorry.
Keep our clinics is the other one.
Let their hearts beat.
Just overturn Roe already, you cowards!
So they showed a majority, in this picture, from Politico, who published the leaked draft, They show a majority of people who are anti-abortion versus pro-abortion, which led me to think a little bit about, and they had two separate chants.
this is the protesters who are uh uh pro-choice so hey hey ho ho sexist fascist got to go And then on the other side, here is the pro-lifers.
Abortion is violence.
Abortion is violence.
Abortion is, what did they say, oppression?
Oppressive.
Oppressive.
So, they're both out there.
And I looked at these signs, and the professional anti-abortion signs comes from the PAAU, which I'd never heard of.
They're the Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising.
And these are, for all intents and purposes, a bunch of woke-looking people who are anti-abortion.
I don't think this has happened before.
The whole thing is weird.
And my favorite one, which I saw as a woman holding a sign saying, I wish my mom had me aborted.
I wondered if that was like, you know, some kind of fake.
That was my favorite too.
That was good.
All right.
You had a clip that you wanted to share?
This is kind of, I think this clip came out on Tuesday.
NPR. I think they wrapped it pretty well.
I think it's a pretty good wrap.
And it's under Supreme Court something or other there.
Yes, Supreme Court.
Got it.
President Biden is reacting to the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion that would effectively overturn the 1973 Roe v.
Wade decision that legalized abortion nationwide.
Biden's calling on voters to choose candidates in the fall who support abortion rights.
Here's NPR's Mara Lyson.
The president says he doesn't know whether the draft opinion that was leaked reflects the final decision of the court, but he is urging the House and Senate to adopt legislation that codifies Roe, the 1973 Supreme Court decision that gave women the right to choose for themselves whether they wanted an abortion.
If it becomes a law and if what is written is what remains, it goes far beyond the concern of whether or not there is the right to choose.
The president says Democrats will need more pro-choice senators and a pro-choice majority in the House, two goals that are in jeopardy in this fall's midterm elections.
Biden goes on to say that it's up to voters to protect a woman's right to choose by electing officials who support abortion rights at every level of government.
Meanwhile, Chief Justice John Roberts said in a statement that he has directed the Supreme Court Marshal to investigate the leak.
He said, quote, to the extent this betrayal of the confidences of the court was intended to undermine the integrity of our operations, it will not succeed.
He goes on to say the work of the court will not be affected in any way.
Before we...
Get into a little bit of this, because people outside of the United States, and most people in the United States don't really understand what this Roe v.
Wade is, the history of it.
And if I look at the European reports, it basically is shortened to, Trump, Supreme Court, outlaws abortions!
It's like, nah, it's a little more nuanced than that.
A little?
The timing...
Now, this was a draft from February, so I don't think that it was just discovered now.
This was clearly timed.
Someone was sitting on this.
It was timed very nicely with a big opinion on the Pfizer docs that dropped...
You know, that they tried to hide for 75 years.
That was a real story on the same day.
Also, Dinesh D'Souza's movie, 2,000 Mules, premiered in 250 theaters.
That's the kind of thing, when you premiere in theaters, you're going to get some press.
But not when this happened.
In fact, I believe we can celebrate the fact that war is over.
I think the war in Ukraine is done, right?
We're not going to talk about it anymore.
It's over now.
Well, technically it's supposed to be over on the 9th anyway.
We'll see.
You're right.
So, a lot of outrage.
This was carefully planned, carefully scheduled.
The signs were printed.
And I'm not so sure, personally, yet...
That it wasn't a Republican who leaked this.
I'm not so sure it wasn't John Roberts.
Exactly.
It could have been any number.
And if you read the opinion, we'll get into that in a minute.
First, let's listen to some outrage front and center.
Of course, you've got to bring back Elizabeth Warren, who was just running through flower beds to her car.
She's out of control.
She's stomping on plants.
She's...
And there were new saplings.
You could see there were new plans.
Like, hey, get off of the grass, lady!
Senator, how are you feeling?
I am angry.
Angry and upset?
Angry and upset and determined.
The United States Congress can keep Rovers' waves above the land.
They just need to do it.
I've never seen you so angry you seem to be.
This is what you do.
The Republicans have been working toward this day for decades.
They have been out there plotting, terribly cultivating these Supreme Court justices so they could have a majority on the bench who would accomplish something that the majority of Americans do not want.
69% of people across this country A little bit of heckling going on there about dismembering children in the womb.
That didn't help her.
But my favorite freakout was Anna Kasparian from The Young Turks.
You know, that woman from The Young Turks.
And she's sitting there with Chung.
She's quite a handful.
Well, what she does is she takes this to a whole nother level and says, you know what, this will by overturning Roe v. Wade, which somehow, you know, even though there's a lot, a lot going on as to what that actually means to her, it means poor people won't be able to get to the job because they will now have it means poor people won't be able to get to the job because they will now have to get child care that the otherwise wouldn't have had to if they And she goes off on this.
We don't even have paid family leave.
We don't even have affordable childcare in this freaking country.
Freaking.
Okay, and the people who fight against those kinds of laws are Republicans.
And yet- What do you want them to do with their kids when they have to go to work?
What do you want them to do?
What do you want them to do?
I want them to answer that freaking question.
Answer the question.
Journalists, ask them the question.
Ask them.
Ask them.
Isn't it amazing?
Ask them!
The goddamn question!
God!
Isn't it amazing that not one Democrat has shown 1% of the passion that Anna has today?
They don't care!
They don't care!
They're fine!
They don't care!
By the way, I agree with her on this part.
Don't worry about it affecting them.
And if they're young enough where it would affect them, they'll get their abortion.
All of that fundraising, all of that canvassing, all of that hard work on the ground, they can't even get a voting rights bill passed!
They're losers!
Trisha Briggs writes in, thank you, Anna, for communicating this momentously justice and the rage we're all feeling.
I like the, thank you for communicating this.
I'm going to try that next time I have words with someone and they're mad at me.
Next time I'm yelling at you, John, you should totally say, Adam, thank you for communicating this moment.
I think that would be very, it would probably break the spell.
So what you hear is...
I think it'll set him off like it did with Warren.
Yeah, you're right.
What you're hearing is someone who's mad, who's a Democrat, who has been canvassing and ringing doorbells and is so let down by what the Democrats have done.
And this is, of course, all about politics.
There's no medical conversation going on.
It's all Republicans bad or Democrats bad.
It feeds the algos.
It's a beautiful moment.
The other statement that stands out is the Democratic National Committee saying in part, make no mistake, reproductive rights will be on the ballot and this midterm election is more important now than ever before.
That reflects, of course, the popular opinion of Democrats and a majority opinion of Americans.
If you look at CBS News polling, it shows most prefer keeping Roe vs.
Wade in place and federal abortion rights intact.
But what this statement, from a very crass political strategic perspective, is also saying, essentially, is Democrats wake up, get off the couch, and go out there and do something about this by volunteering, by donating money, and most of all, by voting for Democratic candidates.
There has been a widespread belief since the high court heard this Mississippi abortion case that this would completely upend the dynamics of this year's midterm elections and finally compel Democrats to get more enthusiastic, concerned and motivated.
Finally!
You look at polling we've done, other organizations have done in the last several weeks.
You've seen incredible enthusiasm and willingness to get out there to vote among Republicans and dwindling interest and enthusiasm on Democrats.
Take a poll today and in the coming days, Democrats are hoping that those numbers are a little more evenly divided.
So it's all about activating the base so it's carefully timed.
Oh yeah, this is such a scam.
I mean, they couldn't wait for the decision.
And who leaked the stupid thing?
And how come the guy hasn't been found already?
They know who it is.
But that's also just to have people distracted, arguing about, how could this happen?
This is such an outrage.
Who did it?
Well, they should go to jail.
No, they should be fined.
Oh, they should be fired.
It's like, it's just...
They should be found, I think.
Yeah, this is what a psychological operation does.
And the local stations who, of course, like this one from Milwaukee, you know, they got the memo.
They got it.
This is a alert, alert.
Let's activate the base.
Let's get the Democrats prepared for the midterm election.
And they're confused because, you know, we got to make it about race, too.
Because, of course, these horrible Republican, I'm sorry, conservative judges, you know, they hate blacks.
We just all know that.
But we have to address it all.
It's confusing.
It's confusing if you're in Milwaukee.
The University of California San Francisco's Medical Center studied these barriers to access.
Dr.
Ushma Ukabiai says if the Supreme Court draft becomes final, we would likely see more people seeking out unsafe methods of abortion.
We have evidence of that.
In the face of greater barriers, people are more likely to resort to harmful means to end their pregnancies.
A study from Duke University shows there would be an overall 21% increase in pregnancy-related deaths, but a 33% increase for black birthing people.
John, we've awoken in a new dimension when we have black birthing people.
Black birthing people?
Yep, the so-called BBPs.
BBPs.
Black birthing people.
I know.
Oh, these people are just...
They're scrambled.
They got scrambled brains.
Don't know what to do, you know?
So, just addressing this briefly...
This isn't going to help their cause.
No.
Addressing this briefly.
What this is...
So, the headlines have done their job.
That worked perfectly.
They got the initial stormtroopers out there.
I like that they have the pro and anti to...
That will propel it.
So, there's clearly not a...
A message went out that said, make sure you show these people, make sure you show our progressives who are anti-abortion.
It's still kind of odd that I see this group there.
But the actual ruling has been a craw in the legal profession's hat?
Is that what it is?
Craw in the hat?
No.
It's been a pain in the butt because it's a very wishy-washy, non-constitutional related issue.
It's a turd.
It's a turd.
And it's been known.
And they're trying to rewrite it, but they can't manage to do it.
The Mississippi case, I think everybody saw it coming down Broadway as the opportunity...
Well, the Mississippi case was written, I think, to trigger this, don't you think?
I don't really think.
They've almost said it.
Right.
And so they triggered this, and now, of course, the horrors of horrors...
Insofar as the progressives are concerned, it gets thrown back to the states.
So states with liberal abortion laws like California, Massachusetts, New York, they just can do, you know, you want an abortion?
Come out to California.
You know, we can do them.
And there's about 13 states that are going to go very conservative, like Texas, and they're going to, you know, stick to their guns with some very rigid requirements to get an abortion.
Well, abortion's not outlawed, and I think that that's not being mentioned enough.
Well, it's not being outlawed.
In fact, the only discussion about any legality or punitive measures is against third parties.
You're not going to go to jail if you abort your baby.
Oh, God, I hate talking about this that way.
Well, that's just the Texas thing.
That's not the case every person.
No, no, no.
No, hold on.
What are you talking about?
What are you talking about?
It's not happening in California.
There's nothing they can do because you can get an abortion.
You're totally missing my point.
All of these laws are only about what a hospital or a doctor can do.
It's not about the person herself or the birthing person.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
The birthing person.
On its face, it's ridiculous.
Yeah, that part is.
Yeah, you do something and you're not getting punished.
The person who assisted you is getting punished.
In any version of an abortion law.
You're right, you're right, you're right.
I thought you were talking about that crazy third party suit craziness that Texas was doing.
And the Texans, they got suckered into this, or maybe it was part of this plan either way, because they knew this really restrictive six weeks...
I think this Texas thing was a salvo.
Salvo.
Let's see if we can get Salvo, you know, like just a shot.
See if we can get some action on it?
See what happens if we do this, and if we can get anywhere with this, then here low Mississippi, because Mississippi is the logical candidate for something, or Alabama would be the logical candidate for South States.
So since...
I mean, this belongs, we've talked about this, this belongs at the state level, because the federal government has no say in this.
And the only thing Roe v.
Wade was, was an expansion on, you know, privacy rights you already have.
Privacy rights.
And it was that a woman and a doctor, whatever they do together, again, the third party, is between them and that's no one else's business.
Right.
Unless they're talking about vaccines.
Well, and there you go.
This is why it has to go.
This is why it has to go.
I think that there's, again, it's beautiful when these things happen.
There's multiple agendas.
My body, my choice, that has to go at a federal level so they can come in and mandate vaccines at a federal level with other legislation that would not conflict with Roe v.
Wade.
So I think it's beautiful that this is taking place because it fits right into their model moving forward.
But just look at how annoying this is going to be for the next six months.
It's not going to be about the war in Ukraine.
That's done.
$33 billion, it's done.
We've lent it to them.
It went to all the NGOs.
Everyone got paid off.
Everyone has their money.
We'll go and visit.
We'll pretend we're in Ukraine.
We're in Poland.
Bullshit artists.
None of them's in Ukraine.
I mean, And we'll just keep playing this for the next six months.
That's what I see.
And it's...
I don't know if they can pull it off.
I don't think they can keep the public's attention that long.
I don't think they have enough outrage actors to do that long.
Well, you mentioned it earlier.
Sorry?
You said the timing.
I think the timing...
I think this was premature.
Yes!
It's because they needed to cover some other stuff up that's annoying, such as the election fraud, Dinesh D'Souza's movie, and the Pfizer death trials.
The Pfizer thing is concerning, and it's not going to get much played, not by this media.
D'Souza's movie is going to get word of mouth.
It's not going to end up on one of the streaming services where people actually get to see it.
That probably within a week.
Yes, that's correct.
And I'd say...
Maybe they did it for that reason alone.
It does cover up the Ukraine thing, but insofar as fixing their problems with the midterms, I think is way premature.
Those other items would not affect the midterms one way or the other, and neither does Ukraine, it seems, since the Republicans are gung-ho for Ukraine.
Yeah, yeah.
So there's nothing that would negatively affect the midterms except this.
This would have some effect if it was pushed more toward the midterms, like in August, September.
September would have been ideal.
But no, no.
So they screwed up again.
In researching Roe v.
Wade, which I think, was it 72 years?
When this came out.
And by the way...
It was developed in 72.
It came out in 73.
Right.
In 72, it was leaked to the Washington Post, who published a story about it.
70s!
That's right.
And the whole premise for this case was a woman who claimed to be gang-raped was pregnant, and then there was an issue with her getting an abortion.
And this video is circling around from the 70s.
Cokie Roberts hosting, so it must have been ABC News.
And there was a little more to this.
She's on PBS too.
I think it's ABC. But there was a little more to that story that came out that you don't hear much about.
And just for historical record, I'd like to share it.
Jane Rowe's story was a terrible one.
She said she had been gang raped, gotten pregnant, was desperate to get an abortion.
That's what everyone believed.
As long as Jane Rowe remained anonymous, when she went public, she told a different story.
You were raped while you were in Georgia?
No, I wasn't.
You were not?
No, I wasn't.
Oh, so all those stories that are in the books and so forth are not true?
Yes, yes.
They are not true.
Right.
And it turned out that lying wasn't the only embarrassment this darling of the pro-choice forces presented.
In her personal treatise published last year, Norma McCorvey told the story of her somewhat sordid life.
Then, she still adamantly supported abortion.
Now, she adds that to the list of sins she took with her into the baptismal pool.
I've cheated people out of money.
I've sold drugs.
I was an abusive alcoholic for many, many years.
I've done a lot against his teachings.
I think the far greater sin that I did was to be the plaintiff in Roe v.
Wade.
I never heard that part of the story.
Nope.
Me neither.
Nope.
So there you go.
The 70s being rerun, not just with Roe v.
Wade the case, but also with the scams surrounding it.
The whole thing was a scam to start with.
So, I think the states is the right way to go.
The states determine lots of things.
That's constitutional the way it should be done.
Yes, I understand the issues with no access to reproductive health care.
I love all the terms.
Because traveling would suck, but you're right, come to California.
Or wherever.
Oregon?
Washington?
But that's also how the United States is set up.
It doesn't make the United States a shit country if a number of states say, no, we want to do it this way.
It doesn't make us horrible people.
You know, the European coverage of this is shameful.
They obviously don't know what they're talking about, and the journalists over there are just as shawty as ours.
They're just copypays.
They're just shit.
They're total shit.
Now, Joe Biden, our president, did kind of let it slip that he doesn't want this to happen.
Most people cut off his last word, but the intent is still kind of the same.
There's so many fundamental rights that are affected by that.
And I'm not prepared to leave that to the whims of the public at the moment in local areas.
So what he says is, you know, there's so much going on with this, I'm not prepared to leave that up to the whim of the public in the local area.
What he meant to the states.
But he's such a doofus.
This makes it worse.
I believe it was in the 80s.
I don't have the document in front of me.
But he tried to push through Congress a bill that took Roe v.
Wade off the books and sent the whole thing to the states the exact way it just so happened.
Because it wasn't happening at the court level.
I know.
So that's a hypocrite, if you've ever seen one.
If Twitter had gone back that far, we'd have some hypocrite tweets.
Professor JJ, currently locked down like a dog in Beijing, he is a constitutional scholar.
I'm a former law professor, a professor of constitutional law.
And he put his own opinion, which I put in the show notes, he says there's no way that the outcome of Roe v.
Wade Can be radically changed or altered as to obliterate the liberty of a woman to control the pregnancy prior to viability.
And he goes in and explains every single piece of it, the three stages, pre-fertilization, which is legal, plan B, post-implantation, yet pre-viability, post-viability, pre-partum.
You can read through the whole thing, but it can either go one of two ways.
You're going to have...
States determining what they want, the state level, or you'll have abortion panels, which is probably preferred by the Democratic Party.
Who's allowed to have an abortion?
It's like the death panel.
Yeah.
Yeah, which we had.
We had it.
We saw it in New York.
The death panel was the governor, and the governor decided, no, these people can die.
It's fine.
We just put them back into the home and kill everybody else.
Yeah.
Nice cynical laugh.
So, a whole bunch of covering up shitty news, which is probably the reason for the poor timing.
Because they could have done this at any point.
You know they had this in February and in March.
It could have been done at any time.
And everybody was prepared for it.
It was so, so obvious.
But yeah, I think they screwed it up.
They're going to have to come up with yet another stupid scam to activate the base.
I just don't think this...
Did you see any...
You see people demonstrating?
They look hired!
Like, hey, hey, hey, ho, ho, ho, ho.
My sign is heavy.
It was supposedly a demonstration in San Francisco.
Nothing big, though.
It wasn't played up much if there was.
No.
Which is interesting, too.
Yeah, I think it's going to be, it's a loser insofar as helping the Democrats in the November is too far out.
Totally.
Big mistake.
Alright, where do you want to go next?
You want to talk about the war that's over?
Anything, you know, Ukraine, Russia?
Well, I got some wars.
I got a few war things.
I got a lot of Biden clips.
Okay.
Why?
Why?
What is he saying?
Well, he gave a bunch of little speeches, but he gave one where he went off...
And went kind of nuts.
It was up in Washington State.
He went up there for Earth Day.
Oh, did we miss Earth Day again?
It was last Friday.
Oh, brother.
So we always miss it.
I was aware of it, but I didn't even want to mention it.
So he went up there for Earth Day and gave a bunch of speeches.
And he said some interesting things.
First of all, I do have a medley.
Which I'm looking at and it says it's 10 seconds and it's supposed to be 3 minutes.
Well, I have 10 seconds so you cut something wrong out.
Yeah, I did something terribly wrong and I don't know what I'm going to do about it so we won't be able to play the medley which is a bunch of good clips but there's good stuff anyway.
I mean, there's good clips.
Listen to Biden.
Biden also gave a speech to...
Eid was up.
Eid Mubarak.
He liked to say Eid Mubarak.
And so he gave a speech to a bunch of Islam...
Muslims?
I can't say Islamists, but Islamic folk.
And so he...
Listen to this little mispronunciation here.
This is kind of funny.
Every single day, even as they still face real challenges and threats in our society, including targeted violence and Islamic phobia that exists.
I mean, it's just astounding.
And I won't go into it.
Anyway.
Yeah, whenever he realizes he's screwed up, I won't get into it.
Islamic phobia.
Yeah, Islamic phobia.
Yeah, I like that.
It's a good one.
Islamic phobia.
Is it phobia or porbia?
He said phobia.
I don't know if he said phobia or phobia.
It was a mess.
Let me hear it.
Islamic phobia.
Phobia.
Okay.
So basically we're just going to mock the old dude for a minute or two here.
Is that okay?
Yeah, of course.
Is that okay?
This is what the European press should be writing about.
The U.S. president has no brain cells left.
He was kind of lively at the correspondence dinner.
Hey, I thought his first four jokes...
His timing was good.
He had energy.
He was landing the punchlines.
I was well impressed with the first couple of minutes of his speech.
I agree.
The thing was, we talked about this before, he's only good for about 15 minutes before he starts getting tired.
And here he is.
I thought it was one of the better, more interesting pieces from the correspondence dinner.
We're here to show the country that we're getting through this pandemic.
Plus, everyone had to prove they were fully vaccinated and boosted.
So if you're at home watching this and you're wondering how to do that, just contact your favorite Fox News reporter.
They're all here, vaccinated and boosted.
All of them.
So that gets a round of applause.
Yeah, it was great.
And now there's...
Let's see what I got.
So here is a couple of little sides.
This is the Bears.
He's taken a...
I think a...
Q from Kamala Harris.
And listen to this little report he gives on Bears Ears.
He has a little girl report on Bears Ears.
And tell me, he's never done this before that I know of.
And listen to this clip.
A little girl came up to me with her, I don't know how it happened, but I was walking outside and a woman came up with her little girl and said, she said, Mr.
President, Please protect Bear's Ears.
I said, I beg your pardon, honey?
I said, please protect Bear's Ears.
I said, Bear's Ears?
She said, yes.
And I knew what Bear's Ears was because I've tried to take my kids to almost every national park.
And I said, okay, honey.
She said, promise me.
Promise me.
And we did.
Bear's Ears for us like the song is for us.
And by the way, we got some of the conservative Republicans to support it.
Oh, man.
The same speechwriter who came up with...
Freedom!
That's what I'm thinking.
Yeah.
That's a bullshit story.
That happened right after he whipped Corn Pop's ass.
No, it has to be a bullshit story.
Now, this play the Cubs clip.
We're repowering retired power plants and clean hydrogen and advanced nuclear and making them economic cubs again.
I think he meant hubs, maybe?
Why'd he say cubs?
He said economic cubs.
I don't know what he's talking about.
They gotta get this guy off the stage.
Well, they're not covering him.
No one covers him like this.
Here's another.
That's why they don't have to get him off the stage because they feel safe.
Who cares?
Who cares?
Media's not going to pick up on any of this craziness.
Here's another good.
Listen to this.
He's talking about the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, which I've had an association with.
One summer I was a member.
And it's IBEW, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
Oh yeah, that's right.
Not IBW, IBEW, sure.
He keeps calling it IBW. Did they change their name?
And somebody out there knows that they changed their name to IBW? International Brotherhood of Workers?
Oh, how sad.
I don't think so.
And starting with the IBW electric workers, they endorsed it.
And every union has stepped up because they figured it out.
Their jobs, they're the ones who can help us transition in ways like never before.
It's not going to cost them jobs.
It's going to increase jobs.
The IBW is going to be building 50,000 electric stations, electric starting stations all across America, for example.
Okay, sure.
Do you notice a little problem there with his little comet that should have been nailed by a fact checker?
What, his charging stations?
Yeah.
Yeah.
What?
I thought it was 250,000.
No, 500,000.
No.
Yeah.
So, is he now reading off-prompter while he's just answering questions and he's missing the zeros, or...?
I don't know what he did wrong there, but he said 50,000, and if it was Trump?
Yeah.
That's whataboutism.
Liar!
Liar!
That's whataboutism.
This is a little side bit here.
I've only got a few of these left.
I did not know this, and I wonder whether it's true.
Biden has asthma.
I have asthma, and 80% of the people who, in fact, we grew up with have asthma.
Oh, 80% of the people he grew up...
Oh, man.
I don't know.
Fact check.
Fact check.
I don't know about that.
All right.
Do you know that he has asthma?
Has anyone ever mentioned this?
No, I know that he has a stutter.
Well, I guess that's asthma.
Well, in fact...
Hold on, hold on.
Let me play this for a second.
Because I wanted to actually defend the president.
Why?
With this flood.
Well, because I felt bad for him.
This was a really bad one, and it's his asthma.
We're going to seize their yachts, their luxury homes, and other ill-begotten gains of Putin's kleptocracy.
That's a stutterer, a lifelong stutterer who just really got caught in the word.
That's not a brain freeze.
And you notice I haven't played that clip.
No, but because people are sending it to me.
Look at this idiot!
I'm like, he's an idiot, but this is because he stuttered.
And maybe the asthma didn't help.
The asthma.
Suddenly, now he's an asthmatic.
Yes, along with 80% of the people he grew up with.
Let's play the So Apparem clip.
Genuine opportunity.
An opportunity to do things we wanted to do, and only now it becomes So Apparem.
Apparem.
It's only now it becomes So Apparem.
Just now.
Very Apparem.
I'm sorry.
And then the last one I have, since the medley has been ruined.
Yeah, well, I can't help that.
Yeah, I know you can't, but I can kick myself.
Here's the WTF Delaware clip.
This should be a topper.
And I want you to know she works at the University of Delaware at the Biden Institute.
So we call that using a point of personal privilege.
Now, there have not been many senators from Delaware.
It's a small state.
As a matter of fact, there's never been one.
And so I want to take advantage of making sure I introduce you.
Wait a minute.
There's not many senators?
I mean, I'm pretty sure there can be two senators.
Well, I'm pretty sure he was one for 50 years.
Yes!
But according to him, there's never been one.
There's never been a Senate.
It's too small for...
Maybe he was confused with D.C. I don't know.
No.
I feel like Anna now.
I'm upset and frustrated that our president is...
Just there's no brain.
Except for whatever they did to him at the correspondence dinner, that was dynamite.
They jacked him up.
I have not seen him that jacked for a while.
They really did it.
It was very good.
Well, they know there's a limited number of times you can do it.
Before he burns out.
Yeah, before he blows his brains out.
Well, while the president was running around flubbing and flibbing and flubbing, we had a couple other things.
And there's two stories that are converging.
One is the...
The disinformation governance board, commonly known as the Ministry of Truth, which is a bit of a misnomer, but okay, we'll just roll with it because everyone gets the idea.
And Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter, which we now this morning know a little bit more about.
He has pulled in some friends, including Larry Ellison, who has put a billion dollars in.
He's basically financed $7 billion.
Through friends and family.
Also Sequoia Capital in for $800,000.
Binance, the crypto exchange, is in.
So he's bringing in some people.
Not huge or significant, but it certainly reduces his exposure to what he borrowed against his Tesla stock.
So, there's a lot going on with what the certainly leftist media and Democrat operatives specifically see as a danger.
I'll just present the evidence and then we can see what we make of it.
But I have to start off with this David Zerawick from CNN. I think all he does is go and comment on CNN. And this was on Reliable Sources, so it's always fun because it's the Seltzer Water Show and they've got numbnucks there on the panel.
But this is the general feeling.
No, I think there's a bigger problem that when we focus on the personalities of people like Elon Musk and people say, oh, I think Elon's thinking this or that.
There's a bigger problem here about how we are going to control the channels of communication in this country.
In 1927, we had the Radio Act.
1934, the Communications Act.
Congress stepped in.
We made rules.
FCC wasn't great, but it's still regulating the broadcast industry.
You can't use vulgar language.
You can't do all these things with speech.
We gave over what amounts to our airwaves or our Internet waves to Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk.
And we are in so much trouble because those guys believe in making money.
We've already seen that with the 2016 election in Zuckerberg when he was taking rubles for ads from Russia and saying, oh, I think it's crazy to think they had any influence on this election.
Musk is the same.
Musk doesn't want, you know, he's upset with the SEC, tried to, how dare they question him, you know what I'm saying?
This is dangerous.
We can't think anymore in this country.
We don't have people, no, I'm serious, we don't have people in Congress who can make regulations that can make it work.
I think we can look to the Western countries in Europe for how they are trying to limit it.
But you need, you need controls on this.
You need regulation.
You cannot let these guys control discourse in this country.
Or we are headed to hell.
We are there.
Trump opened the gates of hell and now they're chasing us.
See, this to me links the two stories together.
And we've heard this from lots of these puppets on certainly cable news.
Mika Brzezinski.
Hey, that's our job.
We're supposed to be the ones controlling the message.
The beauty is, this guy is just saying it out loud.
We need to control messaging in America.
And no one's questioning him on that.
No, not that group.
And for one, I'm going to just straighten a couple of things out with what he said before you continue with your analysis.
First of all, the Communications Act of 27 was because the rate...
I think they have a lot of hobbyist magazines from that era.
Radio was out of control.
People were stepping on each other's signals, and there was no laws about it.
I wanted to set up a radio station.
I could do it out of my house at any frequency I wanted.
They had to do something about that.
Good times.
Yeah, it was.
Before 1927, you could just pretty much set up shop anywhere and just start broadcasting.
And a lot of those people got grandfathered in with great licenses and spectrum.
34 was to bring in the FCC so they can control.
That was kind of a message control thing.
It was to keep them honest.
Not to keep modest, but to keep pornography off the airwaves.
It was a censorship model.
But the FCC was created.
It was for the creation of the FCC. It wasn't for anything he's talking about.
And there's a difference between when you have airwaves that need to be controlled because they're limited.
They're not, you know, infinite.
It's not the same with the internet.
There's nothing...
The number of IP addresses means that's how many stations there are.
It's in the billions.
Mm-hmm.
So this guy is...
He's...
An anachronism.
He's full of shit, eh?
And by the way, he's like a professor of media studies at, I think, Groucho University or someplace.
Pretty much.
Yeah, pretty much.
Well...
Some school I never heard of.
Well, they're lapping it up.
Well, well...
There is, now if you bring in the Ministry of Truth, and we'll get to that in a moment, I think there is a general consensus that the media itself, it was actually Mo kind of convinced me of looking at it this way.
So cable news and just media, New York Times, everyone is a little upset because, well wait a minute, if this Ministry of Truth is coming in, then they're supposed to be combating disinfo, but that's our job.
How come you're going to give that to that woman who sings Broadway tunes?
We're the ones that are supposed to massage and do all that stuff.
And I think there's some malaise a little bit over mainstream news, over what is coming, and they're taking it out on Twitter.
And of course, just like if you want to activate anybody and get them all angry in America, all you do is you just take it to race.
Here's Molly Jungfast on MSNBC. So I do think he is being courted very hard by this far-right fringe, and you see it.
You see Joe Rogan, and those types are working very hard.
Excuse me.
Joe Rogan, far-right.
This is fantastic.
By the way, Danny, you know, if you're a normal kind of straight liberal like Rogan, this has got to gall you to no end.
It's insulting.
It's very insulting.
And right off the bat, I mean, this shows you how full of crap these people are.
And, well, you'll hear the whole thing.
We go from far-right Rogan to, of course, this is all racist.
So I do think he is being courted very hard by this far right fringe.
And you see it.
You see Joe Rogan and those types are working very hard to sort of charm him.
He does seem to be a person who likes it when people are nice to him.
Right.
So he's quite upset with the left because he has all these labor problems.
He has, you know, a lot of workers complaining about racism and sexism, terrible sexual harassment complaints and racism complaints in the factories.
So and there's a you know, there's a.
Who's she talking about?
She's just throwing out racism complaints in the factories.
She's just throwing that out there.
Is she talking about Trump?
No, she's talking about Elon.
Elon Musk.
Oh, she's talking about Elon, and Elon has got racist issues in the factory.
Yes, sexual harassment, racism, non-union.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
SpaceX.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
It's all horrible.
Sexual harassment, complaints, and racism complaints in the factories.
But to answer your question, yes, they just took out the word Trump in the script and inserted Elon.
You are correct.
And I think there's a real move to try to unionize.
That's all stuff he doesn't like.
I think he's a person who likes to be liked, and that's really what it is.
And these guys are working real hard to make him their friend.
The other thing I would say about him, and with all these guys, and you see this also with Bill Maher, You know, so much complaining, oh, you know, everyone's so white, so woke, they don't let me tell my jokes.
But, you know, old, rich, white men have for, since the beginning of time, complained about young people.
Like, this is not new.
You know, you're old, you're rich, you're white, you get everything.
Of course you're threatened by young people.
Of course you're mad.
Of course you don't like their beliefs.
I mean, think about the 1960s.
Like, this is not some new phenomenon.
on old rich white men are always very threatened by young people always so as much as i understand it i think the fault in some ways is on the mainstream media for reporting this incredulously and not saying like this is a rich guy who doesn't want his factory unionized so just so you know it's always old rich white men who don't like the young people That's what it is.
And it would be true if you were rich, but you're not, so her theory falls apart.
You're an old, comfortable white guy, and you want people off your lawn.
Off my lawn.
I have a lawn.
I have rocks.
Yeah, well, tell them to get off your rocks.
Get off the rocks.
Uh, so...
I believe this dovetails into what's taking place.
We had the big push, which we talked about.
Obama coming out at the Stanford Cyber Policy Institute, talking about, oh, disinformation is killing people.
We had, once again, the podcast write-up from Brookings Institution, which was kind of a repeat of what they'd said before.
But then when you click on the links, oh, it's about disinformation killing people.
This was a very big push from Obama, and I will say specifically the Obama Foundation.
We'll get to that in a moment.
And it has created some backlash as ABC reports.
The Biden administration is facing fierce backlash for convening a group called the Disinformation Governance Board.
How are we ever going to come to an agreement on what is disinformation so you can police it on social media?
Homeland Security recently rolled out the board, giving few details on how it will function, saying it will examine disinformation about threats, but will not have operational power and will not monitor U.S. citizens.
Civil liberties advocates are questioning the idea.
We can't even agree what disinformation is.
On Wednesday, Republican lawmakers pressed Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas calling for the disinformation group to be disbanded, some dubbing it the Truth Police.
I think it's a terrible idea.
It communicates to the world that we're going to be spreading propaganda within our country.
It's an awful idea.
Mayorkas disagreed, saying the group will not infringe on freedom of speech or privacy rights.
He says fighting disinformation is vital to protecting the homeland.
We become involved when disinformation poses a threat to the security of our country.
How much does this Mayorkas guy sound like Bill Barr?
Oh, good point.
Probably the same milieu.
Totally the same milieu.
Here again.
When disinformation poses a threat to the security of our country.
Totally in that same milieu.
Yep.
Same guy.
So that was in the Senate.
And, you know, so there's a lot of confusion.
What exactly, what powers will this governance board have?
What do they do?
We have lots of interesting video from the chair of the leader, the mistress of truth, Nina Jankowicz.
This is during the Trump administration.
Just a quick Zoom clip from her.
There seems to be a lot of it.
We've focused so much on pushing back against Russian disinformation online.
We've lost sight of the fact that our own government, and certainly President Trump himself, has dealt in disinformation and normalized disinformation over the past four years, to the extent that there is no disincentive for most politicians to traffic in it anymore.
And this, again, as I mentioned at the beginning, should not be a partisan issue.
Democracy isn't possible without authoritative sources of information.
Your thoughts on this, John?
Democracy is not possible without authoritative sources of information.
Do you find this to be true?
I don't know why it would be true.
Democracy is a simple process of people saying they like or don't like something and voting on it and a consensus being formed and action being taken.
I don't know what's got to do with anything.
It has to do with sources of information.
What about an illiterate person?
No democracy for you, Dumbo!
You can't read?
No good.
Now, Dana Bash, over at CNN, she interviewed Mayorkas, the dude running Homeland Security.
Wasn't he the dude that the President Biden couldn't even remember his name or said it wrong?
I don't remember that.
And she asked specifically how this is going to work.
She sounds demure.
She sounds like she's having some issues with what's going on here, like, Is this singing lady now?
Is she going to be in charge?
Why does she get to do that?
By the way, here's an older rich white lady and she's pissed off at this younger generation coming in.
Here it is.
And the board, this working group, internal working group, will draw from best practices and communicate those best practices to the operators.
I'm going to say it right now.
He keeps talking about the operators.
At no point does Dana Bash...
Ask him who the operators are, so we're going to have to guess that at the end.
Thank you.
This is the kind of journalism we have out there.
Hold on, hold on.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
What?
Is she not listening?
No, she's listening.
She just refuses to ask.
Because she might actually know the answer.
That's probably more likely that she knows exactly how this works, but it's not coming to the forefront.
Here we go.
And the board, this working group, internal working group, will draw from best practices and communicate those best practices to the...
It's consulting bullcrap, it is.
There's no such thing as best practices.
Yes, there is.
That's what McKenzie delivers to you.
They deliver a document with best practices for disinformation detection.
This is a consultant.
Please, you know how this works.
Think tanks, McKinsey, all these consultants will come up with best practices.
Oh, for the deliverables.
Yes, that's code.
McKinsey.
McKinsey?
McKinsey.
Yes.
Best practices.
The operators, because the board does not have operational authority.
Will American citizens be monitored?
No.
Guarantee that.
So what we do, we in the Department of Homeland Security don't monitor American citizens.
You don't, but will this board change that?
No, no, no.
The board does not have any operational authority or capability.
What it will do is gather together best practices in addressing the threat of disinformation from foreign states.
What?
That was beautiful.
It's not even done because here's where I would say, who are these operators and what have they been doing?
What is he talking about?
This guy is a classic bureaucrat.
He is not saying a damn thing.
He's not informing us about anything.
He's just yak, yak, yakking and making it sound right.
By the way, I used to be able to do this when I was an air pollution inspector.
You've been trained.
You've been classically trained in the art of saying nothing.
You know, the funny thing is there's no direct training for that.
You train by observing the best.
On the job.
Best practices.
You watch people that are really good at it.
Yeah, best practices.
Yeah, and then you just, I can do that.
I can talk that way.
I can say nothing.
I can say absolutely nothing.
Let's continue.
...to the operators that have been executing in addressing this threat for years...
Republicans are criticizing your decision, the administration's decision, to choose Nina Jankiewicz to lead this disinformation board.
They say she is not somebody who is neutral.
Your response?
Eminently qualified.
A renowned expert in the field of disinformation.
Absolutely so.
Would you be okay if Donald Trump were president if he created this disinformation governance board or if it is in place and he wins again in 2024 that he's in charge of such a thing?
I believe that this working group that gathers together best practices, makes sure that our work is coordinated, consistent with those best practices, that we're safeguarding the right of free speech, that we're safeguarding civil liberties, I think is an extraordinarily important endeavor.
Man, this guy's the best.
He has some practice.
But this is coming from one source.
And this is all from the Obama Foundation.
And we, interestingly enough, scored by one of our producers with memory like elephant, said, hey...
No Agenda Show, episode 869, 2016.
You played Obama and he was talking about this very same thing.
This could have been his Stanford cyber policy speech.
Right here, this clip.
We have to rebuild, within this wild, wild west of information flow, some sort of curating function that people agree to.
You know, I use the analogy in politics.
It used to be there were three television stations and Walter Cronkite's on there.
Not everybody agreed.
But that was the channel of communication that was controlled.
This is exactly what we heard the theories that Elon will do.
There were always outliers who thought that it was all propaganda and we didn't really land on the moon and Elvis is still alive and so forth.
But generally that was in the papers that you bought in the supermarket as you were checking out.
And generally, people trusted a basic body of information.
It wasn't always as democratic as it should have been.
And Zoe's exactly right that, for example, on something like climate change, we've actually been doing some interesting initiatives where we're essentially deputizing citizens with handheld technologies to start recording information that then gets pooled.
They're becoming scientists without getting the PhD.
And we can do that in a lot of other fields as well.
But there has to be, I think, some sort of way in which we can sort through information that passes some basic truthiness tests.
And those that we have to discard because they just don't have any basis in anything that's actually happening in the world.
And that's hard to do.
But I think it's going to be necessary, it's going to be possible.
I think the answer is obviously not censorship, but it's creating places where people can say this is reliable.
And I'm still able to argue about, safely, about facts and what we should do about it while still not just making stuff up.
So this is the origin of the Ministry of Truthiness that we've talked about for several years.
So he's been on this.
This has been planned for a long time.
And although it seems Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter goes contrary to this, like it's a real problem.
And I still have my opinions about what Musk is doing.
But the Daily Mail did a pretty good piece about this letter that was sent.
To whom it may concern, a public letter from Accountable Tech, Media Matters for America, and Ultraviolet.
But they were signed by 26 different organizations, many of them non-governmental organizations.
And we'll find out who they were in a moment.
Just a quick piece from this letter.
Elon Musk to whom it may concern.
Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter will further toxify our information ecosystem and be a direct threat to public safety, especially among those already most vulnerable and marginalized, black birthing people.
Twitter has outsized influence in shaping both public discourse and industry-wide platform governance standards.
While the company is hardly a poster child for healthy social media, it has taken welcome steps in recent years to mitigate systemic risks, ratcheting up pressure on the likes of Facebook and YouTube to follow suit.
Musk intends to steamroll those safeguards and provide a megaphone to extremists who traffic in disinformation, hate and harassment.
Under the guise of free speech, his vision will silence and endanger marginalized communities and tear at the fraying fabric of democracy.
And so the undersigned organizations believe that Twitter should continue to uphold the practices that serve as guideposts for other big tech platforms.
And now in bold letters, we call on you, Twitter's top advertisers, to commit to these standards as non-negotiable requirements for advertising on the platform.
And so this is what Media Matters does, you know, Sleeping Giants, all of these types of groups.
And there's quite a number of groups who are in here.
Access Now, Accountable Tech, Black Lives Matter, Global Network Foundation.
Gee, I didn't know that they were still a thing, but I guess they are.
Have you published your 990 yet?
Center for Countering Digital Hate.
That's a favorite of ours.
Empowering Pacific Islander Communities.
That's epic.
Face the Music Collective.
Fair Vote UK. Free Press.
Friends of Earth.
Gender Equity Policy Institute.
GLAD. The Global Project Against Hate and Extremism.
It just goes on and on.
Narrow.
Pro-Choice America.
I mean, there's stop online violence against all the people who have kind of been around and in the media lately.
All of a sudden...
They start showing up as signatories, and the Daily Mail did a good job.
They dove into every single one of these, and starting with Accountable Tech, DC-based group, it's a lobbying group, 501c4, and it's, let's see, run by the nephew of David Axelrod, so that's an Obama connection.
Media Matters, David Brock, that's a Clinton connection.
So when we're wondering who's really running the show, it's these people.
It's the Ultraviolet.
It's this new one on the scene.
That's a union.
The American Federation of Teachers are financing part of that.
I thought it was a stripper.
Straight from Reseda.
Worth taking a look at that in the show notes.
But, you know, so are they really going against Elon?
Are they just, you know, Soros NGOs are in this?
I'm not so sure because Musk is right now, he seems to be following my theory that he's going to ruin Twitter and his business model, which I think I called, according to CNBC, Elon Musk says businesses and governments just might have to pay to use Twitter.
Which is what I said.
That would be an interesting way to change things.
Hey, you've got 10 million people and they're following you.
You want to talk?
You've got to pay a little extra now.
You've got to pay me.
You're using this fantastic medium.
You should be paying for it.
Yeah, I'm in a disagreement with that.
I wrote a whole column on this, and it was pretty much saying I think it's an untapped goldmine at Twitter.
No, no, we talked about that.
We talked about your column, and I'm just reiterating that...
Yeah, I know your position.
Yeah.
Well, my position is that the only way he's going to fix it is by having everybody verified and authenticated, and that's what will ruin the experience.
When you can't go on there and just shitpost, that'll ruin it.
That is no fun.
I think that's the destruction.
But yeah, maybe it'll still be the communications channel.
We'll see.
Well, those guys are signed off on that, whatever it was.
It's suppositions, it's theories, it's nonsense.
They don't know what they're doing.
And the fact that these people that sign these petitions like that really should be kept in a database.
Yeah.
Me and my databases.
Another database to maintain.
I'm not so sure we need that.
So...
You know, it's interesting.
I'm not quite sure what the mistress of truth, what impact she's going to have, but for sure we need to understand the operators who will be taking the best practices, which I can imagine will go like this.
Well, if you say ivermectin is good, you're responsible for killing at least 50 people yourself.
Here, operators, go and arrest these people.
Rouse them or do something.
That's what we need to know.
But Dana Bash was not asking it.
No, she was terrible.
She's no good.
No.
Let's take a little break.
Although, if you want to keep talking politics, I do have three clips about progressives dropping the ball, but I want to keep those.
I would like to keep those if I can.
I wanted to go to C-SPAN and do some call-ins.
All right, C-SPAN, we have Republican line.
Who are we talking to?
Well, let's start with this particular event was.
I want you to call in on one of the lines and tell me what you think the red line is before we have to take more serious action in Ukraine.
Oh, this is about Ukraine?
Yes, the Ukraine call-ins.
Okay.
Do I have to guess something, or am I, uh...
No, there's no guess ones in here, but let's just start with the red line opener.
Line for independence.
Bob, good morning.
Good morning.
Go ahead, sir.
Well, as far as I'm concerned, the red line was passed, was already gotten to as soon as Russia invaded Ukraine.
Don't forget how many years ago we said this would never happen again.
I think the whole world needs to get together and stop this guy.
The guy's a lunatic.
He's nothing but another Hitler.
So, Bob, you're ready to send U.S. troops now?
I think the whole world ought to get together and go now.
They should have done that as soon as they invaded Ukraine.
It should have happened back when Trump was president, when they first went over in the Crimea and stuff.
Bob, that was back in 2014.
Take your point on red lines and windows crossed.
That's what we're asking.
Red lines.
This guy reminds me of when, you know, Christina's back now, but we went to the vape shop.
And, you know, Jerry and his wife run the vape shop.
They're anti-smokers.
They're trying to help make the world better.
But it's kind of like a hangout for people.
They're in their late 60s.
And so, you know, there's a hangout table and they're reading newspapers and they're talking.
And this is one guy who, I don't know, he may own Fredericksburg for all I know.
He's like, yeah, well, you know, Putin, you know, he's killing Nazis.
So I'm okay with that.
You know, Nazis, they were not good in World War II. So as long as he's killing Nazis, I'm good with that.
I'm just like, wow.
It's so sad how the information gets filtered down to people.
Yeah.
And that's what they see.
Well, that's when you're hanging out in a smoke shop.
What do you expect?
I know.
I'm just pointing it out.
The guy said he could have been a C-SPAN caller.
Well, these C-SPAN callers, most of us, let me say a couple of things.
It's like, don't do this that often, but when I do it, I notice a couple of common traits.
The number one is they're drunk.
What else would you be doing if you're drunk?
You watch C-SPAN. That's what you do.
Come on, we've both done it.
It's interesting.
So let's play...
I have a pair.
Unfortunately, I didn't review this to figure out which pair there are, but I can tell if I played the wrong one first.
Let's start with call in red lines.
This is Chris in Reston, Virginia.
Democrat, good morning.
Good morning.
Good morning, everyone.
I think everybody is losing their mind talking about red lines.
I mean, if we start bluffing, talking about chemical and biological weapons and nuclear weapons, we're going to retaliate.
That's it.
The end of the world.
It's over.
I mean, this is not about human rights or democracy or sovereign nation.
Sovereign nation.
We went to Panama, picked a president of a country and put him in jail.
We're supporting Saudi Arabia against Yemenis, and 14 million people are starving in Yemen, and we don't care.
But we have a wall-to-wall coverage of the Ukraine.
Why is that?
Why?
Let's solve this diplomatically.
Let's negotiate.
It's enough.
It's enough.
We encroached on Russia.
I am a Biden supporter.
I donated for him.
I'm all for democratic policy, domestic policy.
But foreign policy?
Biden always loved war.
We went to Iraq, invaded 5,000 miles away, invaded Iraq.
And Iraqis never could win Americans.
And now we're talking about Ukraine.
Ukraine is a sacrificial lamb for NATO. And we should stop this.
This is crazy.
We never won.
We couldn't even win in Afghanistan.
Primitive fighters.
We're going to win against Russia on their borders?
Come on.
We almost start war in Cuba in 1963 because the Cuban put missiles, because the Cuban put Russian missiles in there.
What are we doing?
What are we talking about?
Red line and getting involved.
Let's solve this diplomatically.
Okay?
If we talk about thug as Putin's thug, how about Mohammed bin Salman?
Why are we still dealing with him?
He butchered an American journalist.
What's going on?
Talking about red line and chemical going to fight.
That's Chris Reston, Virginia.
Now, he was on the Democrat line?
Yeah.
What's interesting is they let him go with this rant.
That is not typical for C-SPAN call-in.
There's three or four different people that take these call-ins, and this one guy, this is the bald young guy, and he is pretty good, and he's got a sense of good television, and he lets certain people rant, and then he likes to do his punchlines at the end if he has to.
That could have been a no-agenda producer right there.
Probably was.
Drunk.
Drunk.
I got two more.
This is Bradley, the Democrat, and this is the kicker here that has a follow-up that I've got these in order.
He is Bradley, Marietta, Georgia, Democrat.
Good morning.
Hello.
Go ahead.
Yes, my red line, I would say that Russia has already crossed it.
I mean, they have shot down civilian interliners.
They have conspired with Political parties all across Europe, but also in America as well.
They poison people with radioactive material.
Vladimir Putin is a clear and present danger, and he has to be taken out.
And then I look at it as we are in a situation where, imagine in 1939, if we should have went into Czechoslovakia and stopped Hitler there and fought that battle there.
Just imagine what, you know, the The world we live in today.
This is what we're going through right now.
Russia, and basically anyone who works with him, they are ecliptocrats.
They're just thugs, man, and they just have to be taken out.
So, Bradley, this AUMF that we're talking about that spurred this discussion is allowing the president to use U.S. forces to restore the territorial integrity of Ukraine.
You're talking about something a lot further.
You're talking about regime change when it comes to Russia, expanding the war beyond Ukraine.
That's what you want to do?
Absolutely.
I do not want to do it.
This is something that we are being forced to do.
They've already started the war.
The war's been going on for years.
These people are out to destroy us.
China, they're a competitor.
Russia, they are out to destroy us.
They hate us.
They're different than everyone else.
And it's not just...
The Russian people are...
You know, they're just basically brainwashed.
I look at Vladimir Putin and his oligarchs, and people talk about the expansion of NATO is what prompted this.
Why are they trying to join NATO? They're trying to join because they don't want to be attacked by Russia.
And it's just amazing that a lot of these Republicans are spouting exactly the Kremlin talking points.
I mean, the Republican Party, they need to honestly get their stuff together, or they are traitors.
This is really, although I could have done with a shorter version of that, but this shows you how strong the programming is.
Oh yeah, in fact, Dwayne in Minnesota, who's the last clip, and he's in the independent line, actually points it out.
I think he does a good job.
This is Dwayne out of Westbrook, Maine, independent.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Bradley, I'm sorry, that was just a victim of propaganda.
The whole idea that Putin is Hitler and that Russia...
No, we precipitated the entire conflict by extending NATO to Russia's border.
They view that as a red line.
They view that as an existential threat.
The only solution to this to prevent nuclear holocaust that will destroy the entire human race...
It's not an escalation based upon, well, what are the Russians going to do next that we'll have to escalate?
No, we need to not be thinking about escalating.
We need to de-escalate.
That should be our focus of concentration, because we've escalated already by funding neo-Nazis on Russia's border.
Russians don't like Nazis.
They killed 20 million Russians.
So, Dwayne, how do we de-escalate?
We can escalate by promoting diplomacy and a diplomatic solution that will stop the killing.
As long as we keep on looking for reasons to escalate, we are flirting with nuclear annihilation.
That's what people don't understand.
And people who are propagandists look.
John, the Democrats have doubled down on insane.
And they've looked at what the Republicans have done, and they've become even more extreme than the Republicans in terms of foreign policy.
We need diplomacy, not more war, not more killing, not more...
Regime change in Russia?
Do these people...
This is suicidal.
To actually talk about that...
One more quick question for you, Dwayne.
Is additional funding for Ukraine escalation in your mind?
Another $33 billion is being debated right now.
That's what the president has requested for Ukraine.
I know what the president has requested.
Unless we're promoting a diplomatic solution, promoting more war, more killing, all we're going to do is get Ukraine destroyed.
Ukraine cannot compete militarily no matter how many weapons we give them with Russia.
We're just going to get them killed.
It's a proxy war because you have people in control in our own government who would prefer conflict rather than a conflict resolution.
We need to promote conflict resolution and a diplomatic solution.
I would say, having listened to clips that you've made of C-SPAN throughout the years, I think these people are more informed than ever.
Either they're more programmed than ever or more informed than ever.
This was an independent line.
It was interesting.
Yeah, yeah.
He's the man in the middle.
Yeah, I'm not going to disagree with that.
It also depends on what hour they're doing the call-ins.
There's a lot of variables, so you don't know.
But that guy before this guy, who was just the brainwashed guy, was pretty pathetic.
I want to contrast all that with one more clip, and then you can kick me off.
This is, because this guy agrees, this character, this guy, kind of agrees with that last guy, and it's an interesting clip.
I don't know if you've heard it.
It's a little longer than I'd like it, and especially boring, and you're going to call me up for this, because it's Noam Chomsky.
Yes.
You heard this clip?
I don't know.
I've seen a recent interview with Chomsky.
He found it very difficult to understand him.
He's gotten really slow with his age.
Well, slow and deep and his voice is deep.
I made a mistake.
I was going to do it.
I was going to tune it and speed it up.
But the clip has a punchline that's well worth waiting for.
Explain to people who Noam Chomsky is.
Noam Chomsky is a very famous leftist philosopher who's actually a...
What is he by training?
He is a...
Marxist...
No, no, no.
He's not a Marxist anything.
He is a...
Oh, a consumer advocate?
He's a professor of, somebody come on chat room, tell me what he's a professor of.
Linguistics.
Linguistics, yes.
He's a linguistics professor at MIT and he's developing some linguistics theories that are irrefutable.
They're just dynamite.
He's an extremely famous linguist.
But at the same time, he likes to talk and is a linguistic theorist.
We've had him on the, played his clips before.
I don't like playing his clips and I don't like him.
But as a linguist of a high order, he has the ability to do neuro-linguistic programming, and he's full of crap.
This particular clip, he goes on about what's wrong with this war, and everything is right about what he says, and then his summary and his conclusion has got everybody abuzz.
Well, there is...
One statesman in the United States and Europe who has laid out a person of a high political figure who has made a very sensible statement about how you can solve the crisis.
Namely, by facilitating negotiations instead of undermining them and moving towards establishing negotiations Some kind of accommodation in Europe, in which there are no military alliances, but just mutual accommodation.
He didn't say it, but it's something like what George H.W. Bush, the first Bush, not the second, proposed in the early 90s.
And his, when after the collapse of the Soviet Union, proposed what they called a partnership for peace, which would be open for Europeans generally, Eurasians as well.
It wouldn't eliminate NATO, but he would live up to the promise that NATO would not expand to the east, firm promise to Gorbachev, keep to that, allow NATO there, but kind of de-emphasize it.
So other countries could join, including Russia for that matter, join the partnership for peace.
Tajikistan joined, for example, not NATO, and move towards a world, a Europe, Eurasia, with no military alliances.
Actually, de Gaulle had similar vision.
Emmanuel Macron in his initiatives trying to contact Putin suggested something similar.
So going back to the one Western statesman, he didn't mention all of this, but he suggested something similar.
Move towards...negotiations and diplomacy, instead of escalating the war, try to see if he can bring about an accommodation, which would be roughly along these lines.
His name is Donald J. Trump.
That's interesting.
Thank you.
That's interesting.
I'm trying to find out if this was a deep fake and there's no evidence.
No, no, no.
You know...
So Noam Chomsky thinks that Donald J. Trump is the solution to this Ukraine waste of money.
How cool is that?
I was taken aback.
There was some, I can't, I heard a clip somewhere, and it was, it was very similar, like, oh, maybe it was Tulsi Gabbard.
Hold on a second.
Hold on a sec.
Tulsi Gabbard.
Let me just check this for a second.
Is Joe Biden that radical that he's relying on Orwellian tactics to hold on to control?
Or, like on everything else, is he just the front man for someone else?
Who is?
No.
Where's Tulsi here?
I think it's no surprise to know that it's not just Obama, but it's the whole Obama-Clinton machine that has been in power for a long time and continues to pull the string.
I can't find it.
Somewhere, someone said a Republican had the right idea about Ukraine, and his name was not mentioned.
And I'm thinking, I'll see if I can find that.
This is a thing.
Like, now there's people realizing, well, Trump was actually kind of knew how to do that.
And for Chomsky to say that, I think that was true.
That was not a fake.
I think that's what he said.
I'm pretty sure it's what he said now.
Hmm, so that's why we haven't seen much of this interview.
No, you'll never hear this ever except on this show.
Here's what you'll hear instead.
This is the Bloomberg podcast.
We have to take a different tactic from that stupid old coot.
There it is, Noam Chomsky, old rich white guy.
Helena, what do you know about his health?
Because there have been so many reports around that over the last couple of days.
How on earth do we get a read on that?
And this is always the big question with dictators.
You know, always speculating...
We know that Mr.
Putin, certainly during COVID, became quite isolated, very paranoid.
He doesn't feel comfortable with people around him.
People have to look warrantied.
I love this.
We know, she just says, this woman from Bloomberg, we know that he doesn't like people around him.
He gets paranoid.
Do we know this?
Is this factual reporting?
Bloomberg?
He shows up at the G20s hanging out with everybody, shaking hands.
Shaking hands, hanging out.
All for people.
He's...
Going to the Olympics?
I mean, it doesn't make sense.
He's paranoid.
We know that Mr.
Putin, certainly during COVID, became quite isolated, very paranoid.
He doesn't feel comfortable with people around him.
People have to still quarantine before they're even allowed to see him.
So we know that he's very concerned about his health, just based on how we see him in public.
And there have been many reports that he has a crew of physicians who That travel with him everywhere.
And there's even a joke in Russia that says, oh, we know Putin's coming to a meeting because the ambulance has arrived first.
I mean, we don't know.
But certainly, you know, he's a man now approaching 70.
You know or you don't know.
You know, life expectancy in Russia for men his age is much, much lower.
So it's just hard to know what his health actually is.
But the speculation has certainly accelerated.
Alina, thank you for your time.
Oh, brother.
So that's news now.
Oh, yeah.
You know, we know we got really paranoid during COVID. But that's not...
Here's what really is freaking people out.
Because Europe, they have to continue to propagandize.
Remember how afraid people were of North Korea and Kim Jong-un when I went over there?
I don't know, five, six years before Trump got in.
Oh, man.
Kim Jong-un.
I should blow everything up.
Oh, we're really worried.
We're so worried.
They were totally propagandized about that.
And now it's about nuclear war.
This is Euronews describing what Putin's going to do, according to the foreign minister, Russia.
How Russia could destroy the UK with a nuclear attack.
I would like to explain that the Russian state propaganda...
It says that it is Ukraine which is seeking to attack Russia.
And that's why Dmitry Kisilov was speaking about some kind of response.
So he said that Russia could use its intercontinental ballistic missile, Sarmat, which it has tested recently.
Or the new underwater robotic drone Poseidon.
And there was a graphics showing actually this drone.
Drone Poseidon and Kisilov with his face in the dark was literally saying, quote, the explosion of the missile near Britain's coast would raise a giant radioactive tsunami wave and it would turn whatever it might be left of the British Isles into a radioactive desert.
He addressed directly to Boris Johnson saying, one lunch, Boris, and there would be no Britain at all.
So that's what the state propaganda is telling the Russians on primetime on Sunday.
Yeah, so that's what we're being told here on primetime.
And I love the tsunami idea.
That's kind of going back to Fukushima.
I like the radioactive wave.
Yeah.
And there'd be no more Britain.
No, Britain would be done.
So, you know, we might as well, since we're in the financial field talking to Bloomberg, we might as well just get a quick statement from the CEO of Raytheon, one of the main manufacturers of war shit that we have here in the United States.
We are there to defend democracy.
And the fact is...
Just so you know, I like he says, we're there to defend...
I guess they train and they do stuff on the spot.
No, this is the same thing that Austin, Lloyd Austin said, we.
Yeah.
They think they're there.
Yes, we're there.
Here we go.
We are there to defend democracy.
And the fact is, eventually we will see some benefit in the business.
Ukraine today, of course, is coming out of stockpiles either at DOD or from our NATO allies, and that's all great news.
That's all great news!
We don't even know if it works anymore.
It's 20 years old.
Oh, man.
Yeah.
It's funny, even though it's just pathetic.
Just pathetic.
And meanwhile, war is over.
Don't worry about it.
It's off the front page.
I think Zelensky will probably, you know, just like...
This is the repeat.
Chakasvili, the president of Georgia back in the day, he went nuts after people started to ignore him after, you know...
That's right.
I forgot that.
He was eating his tie and flipping out on camera.
And now he's like some think tank somewhere.
Yeah.
So I think Zelensky will probably...
We'll see him freak out.
We'll see him coked out or something weird.
He's not going to last.
He looks like a coke head, and he supposedly is.
Oh, this is well established that substance abuse...
There's even videos of him getting high in his presidential office.
Or at least the lines are on the table.
We don't see him actually snorting anything, but there's a lot of that.
And with that...
Careful.
Don't wake the dog.
I'd like to say in the morning to you, the man who put the C, two Cs, in drunk C-SPAN callers.
Ladies and gentlemen, please say hello to Mr.
John C. Dvorak!
Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
Adam Curry.
Also, in the morning to all ships at sea and boots on the ground, subs in the water, feet in the air, and all the dames and knights out there.
The reason we are not doing the typical noise is because of our new starting time.
The dog is asleep, and the dog does not like...
The dog is asleep, so I will not be making the normal sound effect of throwing this thing into the can of buckets.
The dog is...
I'm sorry, the bucket of cans.
The dog is ruining the show, if I can just say.
It's kind of ruining the show.
All of our super elements are going on.
There we go.
I do like talking at this level, though.
In the morning to the trolls.
Hello, trolls.
Thanks for joining us.
I've been waiting for this moment to see how many trolls we would be able to garner at a new starting time.
So let's have hands up there, trolls.
Let's see how we do.
What are we doing for Thursday?
Oh, yeah, it hurts.
It hurts.
It hurts.
Massive drop.
1792.
We haven't had that low a number for three or four years.
That's right.
This is hurting the show.
There you go.
So that's about, I'd say we, so how many, 800?
800 less?
Almost a thousand.
No, no, no.
We've been around 23, 24.
That's been...
Well, you can say what you think.
I know the numbers.
You can say what you think, but you're just wrong.
The top number has been high, a thousand less, but in general it's been 23, 2400 for the last several weeks.
Do you remember the top number?
Yeah, 28 something.
What was the top number?
You have it on the post-it note.
I do.
3046.
We can still do that.
We can bring them all back.
I gotta tell you, I feel good.
I feel good and rested.
That makes for a good show.
Trolls, those of you who are here, please continue to troll.
You're doing a good job, those of you who came.
Trollroom.io if you'd like to join them and you can listen live to the No Agenda stream at the same time, which is actually, in an interesting way, a very successful podcast network.
People don't realize this, but the 24-7 stream, it has either podcasts being recorded live, which then are like this one, twice a week, Or it has podcasts that are all part of Gitmo Nation.
And what you see is that this is a great discovery mechanism.
You know, Facebook just gave up on integrating podcasts into their service as they touted about six months ago.
Whoa, it's going to be great Facebook.
We're going to rule podcasting.
So they had to give up.
People are stupid.
It's too hard for them to make a podcast work.
They couldn't monetize the network and they realized it in time.
So to thwart further embarrassment, they cut out.
But in the meantime, this completely free, open system that we've created and the chat and the stream are a part of that works really well.
People are always promoting other shows.
And I'm very proud of what everyone has built over there.
Trollroom.io to join all the fun.
Or follow us at NoAgendaSocial.com.
More and more people now joining the Fediverse, getting accounts on Mastodon servers, setting up their own servers.
So you can control your own experience.
That's why we've limited our instance to 10,000 accounts.
We don't want to be responsible for something falling down.
I mean, already when we perform maintenance, people start flipping out, and my timeline is polluted with, Hey, there's not any socialists.
Stop!
Stop!
No idea how disruptive that is to everyone's life.
So follow John C. Dvorak at NoAgendaSocial.com, Adam at NoAgendaSocial.com, and join in the fun.
Once you follow one of us, you'll see everything starts to flow through to your timeline.
Now let us thank the artist for episode 1447.
We titled that Germ, G.E.R.M. That was the Bill Gates Stormtroopers, the COVID Stormtroopers.
And Mike Riley brought the artwork, which we both thought was just dynamite.
And this is the disinformation governance logo, disinformation governance board.
Yes, done in a cartoony style, making it more ludicrous.
There was one violation, though, that we let slip.
Neither of us really said anything.
Of course, it was Comicstrip Blogger who called us out.
That's all he does.
And he said, I thought it was illegal to use coronavirus in image of art.
Yes, that's what he said.
And in fact, there is this very small coronavirus.
But I saw it as a splat.
So we've been choosing the art just based on our old white dude eyesight?
That's not very good.
It's not very professional.
I saw it as a splat.
You know, it's interpretive art.
We liked it.
There was...
Let me see, what else did we see?
There's other good stuff.
There was a lot of good stuff.
Well, let's take a look.
We need to review...
There was a lot of...
I love the No Agenda variant brewing from Capitalist Agenda.
I think that's really good.
Mixed bugs.
I thought the Ministry of Talk...
From Nestworks was really good with that woman doing the heart, and I wonder if that's actually her doing it.
It probably is.
No, that's not her, please.
Are you kidding me?
That head is so obviously photoshopped.
Okay, I'm just looking at it with no glasses.
Put your glasses on when you review art already.
It's a requirement.
We liked some of the Yak stuff.
That was good.
The Yak stuff was funny.
The Mayday stuff wasn't going to fly.
We couldn't get anything that was that.
There was one I'm looking at now by Moose called Mayday March with no agendas or cartoony.
I love cash, resist, we much, donate.
I swear that wasn't there when I looked the last time.
Yeah, it was.
In fact, I used it as the pre-stream art.
For 1447?
Yeah.
Last show?
Yeah.
Oh.
Well, I like that piece.
And somehow we wound up with Mike Riley.
But I think Mike Riley's work was just so sublime.
Okay.
Well, anyway, so there was a lot of good.
There were pieces that were good.
It's odd.
I feel like you're acting like you didn't want the Mike Reilly piece.
No, I'm the one who spotted the Mike Reilly piece right off the bat.
So defend it.
I think it may have deterred me from seeing other art.
Oh, okay.
Yes, because I also felt that, hey man, you're not looking at everything.
You're hypnotized by Mike Reilly.
You should get a room together.
Yeah.
Mike, thank you very much for bringing us the artwork for episode 1447.
All of the work that the artists do is highly appreciated, and it's fun to follow along.
Many people who are listening live will sit and refresh the noagendaartgenerator.com just to see what people are coming up with.
Of course, what's cool about Podcasting 2.0, we are one of the pioneers of the new podcast standards, is we have chapters now, and those chapters come with artwork, and Dreb Scott expertly is putting in all different pieces of art that come from the No Agenda Art Generator,
So you kind of get a curated version of it while you're listening, even if you're listening, or especially if you're listening to the podcast, which is where the other 1.397 people actually listen to the show instead of live on the stream.
So thank you very much, Mike Riley.
Thank you to all the artists.

While we thank our executive and associate executive producers for episode 1448, kicking it off with Seronymous of Dogpatch and Lower Slobovia, back once again.
With another cryptic donation amount, in this case, 1907.
And that was the year of a flash crash that was almost a mirror of the 1987 crash.
Ah, let me read his note.
He always sends in a note, typewritten, and printed.
It's not too talkative this time.
From Sir Anonymous of Dogpatch and Loris Lobovia, thank you to all the producers that make this program so informative and enjoyable.
I hope everyone had a blessed Easter, Orthodox Easter, Passover, and Eek Mubarak to everyone.
What a wonderful month, filled with so many religious celebrations, along with war, shortages, inflation, rising interest rates, and general mayhem.
I hope the many prayers will be effective.
This is to commemorate the anniversary of Angelic Knight's death, not a switch.
He's dead.
Just a reminder of his contribution to humankind.
Wow, that's so nice that he remembers that.
That's very interesting.
1907.
So you think he might be signaling the flash crash?
That's part of his code this time around?
Possibly?
I don't know if he has those kinds of insights, but it's possible.
And that means if there's a crash, it's a flash crash.
The crash of...
87 was a phenomenon that anyone experienced it knows it was like so short-lived but so harsh that it freaked everybody out.
I mean, the market people, people that were working in the stock market, were on the verge of suicide.
It was like they thought it was 29 all over again.
This was 87?
And it just snapped back.
87?
87.
87 is a fascinating story.
That was Black Monday?
Black Monday.
Was that it?
I don't know.
I don't remember that detail.
But I will say this.
I've talked to people that were in the business this time and said they were all lined up at the bank getting the money out.
Yeah, I'm sure.
I'm sure.
They were freaked.
And then?
It just came right back, huh?
It came.
It just returned and never, just like it was a hiccup.
Hmm.
Interesting.
It could be an 80-year thing.
Well, thank you very much, Seronimus of Dogpatch and Loris Lobovia.
Very nice of you to commemorate and remember the angelic night.
Thank you for your support of the show for a long, long time.
I'll take this next one because I have a couple issues with the request.
It was very nice.
I know that this is Sean LaValleur Adam who donated an instant knighthood.
She's from Long Beach, California.
$1,000 to do a switcheroo for her husband, Dominique Adam.
Adamay Adam.
And what she did is she requested a bunch of jingles, which is okay, more than typical, although we're not going to play Fuck Joe Biden.
That's just not cool.
That's not really a jingle.
It's just a chant.
But then asked to have all these jingles and things played during the read, and I just realized that as we're getting into the segment, we can't do that.
It's really complicated, and you give us a script, you're just asking for failure.
So instead, I shall vocalize where you wanted the jingles, and I'll play your actual jingles, which is a long sequence as well.
And it's very kind of you to do this, because it is his birthday.
He slapped me in the face a couple of years ago.
That's where she wanted a douchebag.
I don't know if he is a douchebag.
Please de-douche him and knight him as Sir Dom Nasty of Long Beach, California.
This we can do.
You've been de-douched.
And as he sits at the round table, he shall be eating a Joe Jost Marley Special and pickled eggs with pretzels drinking a schooner of ice-cold bush.
Beautiful yum was requested.
I hope he has a blast for his 52nd Sanco de Mayo birthday, as Adam would say.
And then the whole Obama la cucaracha.
No.
This would have been a whole donation segment by itself.
Well, I want to also mention something here, and I don't want to dissuade people from sending us instant night, instant name donations.
And we go out of our way for these big donations.
Yes, we do.
But...
This sets a terrible precedent.
Yes.
Can you imagine what would happen to this show if everybody started doing this?
This is the reason, by the way, I'm going to mention this.
This is the reason we stop reading notes under $200.
We used to read all the notes.
Yep.
But then people under $200 start abusing the privilege.
Why should I send them $200 or $300 for a long note?
I'll send them $50 and here's a 10-page note.
You have to read it.
That's what happens when you do stuff like this.
Please think about it next time.
Please.
And I'm not, like I said, I love these big donations, but think about these kinds of requests and what they mean to people who have to listen to this.
Okay.
It's just programming time.
And a lot of longer notes have great content.
This is just, you know, I also don't want to sound mean about it because it's really nice.
But yeah, we do have to kind of make it clear.
So, of course, she says, I love my Sir Dom Nasty for being my wonderful husband, best friend, amazing father to our two sons and two dags.
Love you mean it.
May I get some jobs karma for my business, DIY Dying, a design-it-yourself family-driven midwifery and funeral service serving all of Southern California.
Holy crap.
Design it yourself, family-driven, midwifery, and funeral services.
That's an interesting combo.
Ending with the following sound, sound bites, please.
I've got information.
Hey, citizen, don't be a denier.
F. Joe Biden putting on the Ritz and a cruise missile.
Truly hope this airs on Thursday for his birthday.
It is.
Thank you both for what you do and the opportunity to surprise my Sir Dom Nasty.
Well, surprised he will be, and he's on the list, and we will be knighting him.
And thank you very much for supporting the No Agenda Show.
I've got information, man.
New shit has come to life.
Hey, citizen.
The science is in.
Science!
Come, let's mix where John Podesta walks with kids.
Oh, I mean pizzas in his midst.
Booted on the Ritz.
Jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
You've got to come up.
Yes, that was sweet.
Anne Rondepierre Rixu, I'm guessing, in Trumbull, Connecticut, 555.55.
High fives on ITM. Happy Cinco de Mayo and birthday to Theo.
Aw, yes.
Is he on the list, by the way?
I bet she's not.
No, he's not.
Still learning the ropes, but would like to be dedouched.
Yes.
How old is...
You've been dedouched.
Today?
Yeah, he's a Cinco de Mayo baby.
Okay.
Which makes it easy to remember.
Kind of.
For you.
What?
Sorry?
No, I said for you.
It makes it easy for you to remember.
Yes, I know.
Yeah, because I can't remember birthdays.
I know.
Also need a meetup in Connecticut, ASAP. Make sure to go to meetups, noagendameetups.com.
Just karma for all, I guess, out of characters.
Not sure where to send those awesome long notes.
You're doing fine.
You're doing fine.
You're doing good.
Don't worry about it.
You're doing great.
That's it?
Okay.
That's any of the karma, I think.
Well, there's a happy Cinco de Mayo and birthday to Theo.
So I've put Theo on the birthday list, so we make sure we got that one.
And karma.
You got it.
Karma for...
As requested.
You've got karma.
Joel Nelson is next from Richfield, Minnesota.
And 380 and 38.
380, 38.
Looking for a goat with R2D2. Jingles any Sir Chris Wilson end of show makes.
Okay, I got that one.
This is a switcheroo.
Hello.
Sir Chris Wilson gets executive producer credit and donation credit for his latest end of show as per No Agenda Social.
Hmm.
Resend House Buying Karma.
I'll be closing on a new House 511.
Thanks to No Agenda Karma.
Please give it back to the community.
Thanks, Adam and John, for your continued deconstruction and sanity.
It's greatly appreciated.
So this is a Sir Chris Wilson switcheroo.
I'm not sure what he's referencing about...
His latest end of show as per NA. So did he publish, put something up?
Because I haven't received it.
I haven't seen anything.
Okay, well here we go.
It'll come.
You've got...
Karma.
Paul Zimmerman's up in Dixie.
He's in Dixie, Washington, 380.
ITM, I don't know.
TM, Podfather, it's been four months since my last donation.
Please dedouche me.
You've been dedouched.
I'm back with 1% of my business gross receipts.
However, rather than stopping at the traditional executive producer magic number inspired by Sir Kevin McLaughlin and the Martian women who briefly appear in the film Total Recall, I pushed on and now hereby inaugurate the Triple Boob Donation.
Ah, wait a minute.
That's interesting because...
The triple boob donation.
Wait a minute.
The one we got before that, the one for Chris Wilson, was also a triple boob donation, not mentioned as such.
38038.
Well, this is 3808.
Oh, okay.
I'm sorry.
My mistake.
All right.
That could be a triple boob.
Maybe that other one was a triple boob with boils.
With a twist.
With boils.
Alright.
Was she a mutant or possessed of superior genetics?
You decide.
Anyways, I want to share with Gitmo Nation that savers like me have a leg up these days in cryptos.
And my weekly 1% each set aside to support No Agenda has been sucked away in a stablecoin entering 9% for me while building towards the donation for No Agenda.
Supporting No Agenda this way means having and eating your cake.
Spend the interest, not the principal, as our privileged cis-cum-racist great-grandparents used to say.
9% interest pays for a lot of mac and cheese, even an occasional dash of bugs.
Those interested, find me on Mastodon at Aurelius176313 on the BitcoinHackers.org instance.
Okay.
You can replay that and see him figure it out.
I can get you started on the stuff and get you a little bonus Bitcoin hookup tool.
A tool.
No more comments.
Thank you.
Faithfully suppressing your exit strategy 1% of the time.
Sir, 1% of the GTFO in Dixie, Washington.
Jingles, you gotta need a Bitcoin mac and cheese.
I love bugs and a goat karma for all.
For goats are the G-O-A-T. They're saying that all hell is going to break loose, and you're going to need a Bitcoin.
You slaves can get used to mac and cheese.
Mac and cheese.
Mac and cheese.
I love bugs!
Bugs, bugs, bugs!
Tastes like poop.
You've got karma.
Thank you, Paul.
We move to Sir David, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
Bel-Air, Texas, that is.
355-62.
Rubbalizer.
Oh, I didn't have that one.
Rubbalizer, Little Girl Yay.
Where's my Rubbalizer?
Where's my Rubbalizer at?
There we go.
Little Girl Yay, frozen with salt margarita in a tribute to the best podcast in the universe.
To y'all, thank you for your courage.
Sir David Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
India, Tango, Mike.
Stand by.
33, 33, 33.
Rubbleizer, out.
Okay.
All right.
You got Keith Larson, 35353 in St.
Petersburg, Florida.
ITM, John and Adam.
My donation amount reflects my 53rd birthday on 5-3.
He's not on the list.
No jive.
It seemed like a good time to become an executive producer.
You catching my drift?
Your podcast is the max.
Keep on keeping on.
Check you later.
Sir Lee the Furious.
Okay.
Okay, I'm just putting his...
Yeah, you put that up because I'll read the next note because this is an email note from Jonathan Bazzotta in Olath, Kansas, 333.33.
And let me just switch screens to get to the donation.
He says, what's up?
Right up to date there.
Chilling on the pad.
Chilling at the pad.
Finished a killer game of Pong.
Pulled up my tube socks.
Laid down on the shag carpet and decided to donate.
You dig?
Oh, he's doing a 70s thing.
I got it.
I got it.
70s.
I like it.
With an upcoming brain surgery, no, not for my amygdala.
Would you please do me a solid?
And hit me with some wicked karma.
My rad Magic 8-Ball said signs point to yes.
Magic 8-Ball, another fantastic reference to the 70s.
Forgot about that.
Catch you on the flip side, TV and Casey.
Very good.
I like that.
Really well done.
Let's see more people try that.
It's hard.
Karma.
Thanks, man.
Eric Knoll is in Fairhope, Alabama.
Our favorite number, 333.33.
Hey, took a flight this weekend.
It was Delta 333, which already made me pause.
Then it leaves from gate E33. I start getting suspicious.
Wow.
And I sat down in my car in the Sunday podcast launch, and it paused at 33 seconds.
Donation time!
Karma, please.
You got it.
Thank you.
You've got karma.
Now, I looked for an email from Mark Gall, who is in Ontario, Scandinavia, Guelph to be exact.
I have all kinds of email from him, but I do not have this donation email.
I have nothing.
Yes.
I have sick.
I don't know why.
But thank you, Mark.
It's appreciated.
I'll go right on to Buddy Arsenault in Maurice, Louisiana, 33333.
In the morning, this donation makes me a night...
I would like to be known as Sir Buddy of Cajun Country.
Please give goat karma for all.
Cheers.
You bet, man, and we'll see you at the podium.
We've got quite a list today.
You've got karma.
Catherine Sutton comes up.
She's actually in Thailand at $333.33.
I vote that Adam should be happy.
Yes, I vote for this too.
I'm in Bangkok and listened the next day, so she doesn't care.
Right.
John, I gave in and sent USD just for you.
Please give me an Obama, we might die, and a Yoko Ono scream.
Love you guys.
I haven't had for a while.
No, that's good.
Thank you from...
Where was she from?
From Bangkok.
She's the one who has the apartment that no agenda people can...
Oh, right.
...B&B, Airbnb.
You might die.
Sir Jim Watts, Baron of Whistler and Metropolitan Geribaldi in Whistler, B.C.
I've snowboarded poorly.
333.33.
This is my annual 5th of May birthday protest donation.
I'm not sure if I'm protesting 60 years around the sun or the tequila company's hijacking of the day.
Well, good point.
To celebrate, we are in Mexico City and have dining reservations at a well-recommended restaurant on Avenue 5 de Mayo, Cinco de Mayo, in the Centro Histórico.
Tonight, we will learn firsthand if this date is celebrated in Mexico City.
Jobs karma, please, for Reed, who is taking some time away from the Luz circuit to become a commercial pilot.
Right on!
There you go.
We need some.
Jim Watts, Baron of Whistler, Metropolitan Giribaldi.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
You've got karma.
Matt Litschke's up from Tinley Park, Illinois.
3-3-3-0-5.
He uses Jingle Request, China's Asshole and Karma.
Gentlemen, I'm completing my knighthood with this executive producer donation.
Also, it's my birthday on Sanco de Mayo.
Please add me to the list.
You're on both lists.
Knight me, Sir Matthew.
And I'd like Italian beef sandwiches.
Hey, see, Chicago, some Italian beef sandwich, the best.
And ice cold beer at the round table.
Five cents is on there for the Cinco de Mayo.
Thank you for your courage.
All right.
And let me just see.
It was China's asshole and karma.
China's asshole!
You got it.
You've got karma.
Next on our list, we have Zachary Stockstill in Odessa, Texas.
333.
Thank you very much.
No note, Zach.
Send it to us if you meant to send one.
Marcos Minguela in Beewarton, Oregon.
Also 333 and no note.
And I'll grab John Delk from Wheaton, Illinois.
3333.
These are great numbers.
Guys, you put out two shows a week.
I don't give a shit what day or what time.
In the morning, just two shows a week.
Decent deconstruction.
Tennis Platform and Pickle West Suburbs.
City love.
Okay.
We dive at dawn.
I'm with you.
Thank you.
A wet bird flies at night.
Appreciate it, John.
Thank you.
Sir Chris Sunderberg in Mercer Island, Washington.
First Associate Executive Producer, 27098.
And he sent a note.
Is this his note?
Yes, it is.
From Nancy and Chris' letterhead.
This 270-98 installment of Amber Heard's 3.5 million donation pledge on my behalf brings me to Barron's status.
Wait a minute.
What is the Amber Heard donation pledge?
I'm unfamiliar with this reference.
Well, if you've been following the case, which...
No!
I have.
It is the best entertainment on television.
So she, I guess, she got a bunch of money for some reason when they got divorced or something, and she pledged all this money to all these different things.
And she didn't pay any of it.
She didn't pay any of it.
Oh, no, I'd heard she paid $300,000 of the $3.5 million or something like that.
Oh, you're not following it.
That's interesting.
Okay.
Yes, that's exactly right.
Please upgrade my title to Sir Chris Baron Knight of the...
Now, you used to be Vortex State Ring State, right?
The Vortex Ring State, yes.
He's got Vortex on here.
You wrote Vortex on his note.
Well, he wants Vortex, obviously.
Resist we much, he says.
Vortex Ring is settling with power.
It is not a good thing if that happens to you while you're flying a helicopter.
And just on Amber Heard.
So, no, I've avoided that because I actually have other things to do with my life, like getting interesting clips of stuff that makes a difference in our life.
However...
I'm looking for clips.
However...
I had to get two box fans, because now we have another, an S9 minor, so now this room where I have this set up is getting kind of hot, so I need to blow some air out.
So I go to Walmart, which is out on 290, and in the car, I hear Fox News, they're talking to Sheila Jackson Lee, which by itself is like, ugh.
Okay, but she's irritating, but at least she was talking about something relevant to what's going on in the world, and the Fox News hosts are going, ah, yeah, okay, just briefly, yeah, okay, we gotta go.
Thanks, Sheila Jackson.
Because we have to go now live to Amber Heard's testimony!
Like, wow!
Great television programming choice, but for news channel, what a dumb thing.
And what happened?
I sat in the Walmart parking lot for 15 minutes listening to her, I have to say, riveting testimony.
What is it about celebrity and fame that just draws even me in just to hear about how she took off his boots?
It's like...
I can't help...
What is that?
What is wrong with the human psyche that me, even me, who lived some of this stupid celebrity life, that it's just...
It's interesting to listen to.
What is that?
I wish I knew.
I wish I could bottle it.
Yeah.
There's our exit strategy.
Heard in a bottle.
Bob Rathmel in Santa Isabel, California, 25522, says, I support any time for the show that works for you and Adam.
No jingles, no karma.
Thank you.
That's exactly the kind of note that we appreciate.
Yes.
Dame Jennifer, our dame in Charleston, 23456, who does the animated No Agenda, when she does it.
Hey guys.
Hey guys.
Today's AEP donation has three purposes.
Apologies for the note length, but it's all important.
Item 1.
If any producers are coming to the May 16th meetup in Charleston, South Carolina featuring special guests, the Podfather and the Keeper, and have not yet RSVP'd on the meetup site, please do so as soon as you're able so I can give some venue a good count next week.
And they can plan for staffing.
Okay, stop with the robot voice.
This is Dame Jennifer, man.
Item two.
If any producers are coming to the May 16th...
Oh, I'm sorry.
Item two.
This donation brings me to Viscount Tests.
Little girl, yay.
Somewhat confusing accounting attach since it involves gifts I made and switcheroos, but I'm sure it's all in order.
I'm a bookkeeping nerd.
Okay.
Boys, note.
Yeah.
And item three, I would like to wish a happiest of birthdays on Saturday, May 7th to Sir Greg Knight of the Surprise Headlocks.
What?
I have no idea.
I know these guys.
They were in high school.
Surprise headlocks.
Next thing you know, you're in a headlock.
Thanks, bro.
And then maybe he's rubbing your head.
And you get a wedgie.
Thank you both, as always, for your show.
It's not a hyperbole for me to say that it has changed my life since I started listening in late 2010.
I'm a reformed Obama bot.
For reals, Obama bot.
We consider that the highest of our calling.
Yes, if we've reformed Obama bot.
Obama bot reformation service.
I can't wait to see Adam and Tina and all the traveling peerage and producers in 11 days.
Please send general karma to all who accept it into their lives, which is an interesting way of putting it.
Yes.
XOXO, Dame Jennifer.
Yeah, we're very excited.
Dame Jennifer has really put together a whole program.
We have the meet-up, there's a lunch, and then it's also going to be her birthday, so I think we're having a smallish dinner to celebrate her birthday.
Bring gifts.
Yes, that has been thought about.
What's interesting is one of the people she's invited to the lunch is Tom Blomquist.
And she knows Tom Blomquist.
I have not seen Tom Blomquist in almost 40 years, 35, something like that.
He was the writer.
He wrote the script for my one and only Swamp Thing episode.
Rock and roll is here to stay!
Yeah, that's not the line.
Hard-ass blistering rock and roll, dig?
Okay.
Uh, yes, Dame Jennifer, of course we got some karma, and looking forward to seeing ya.
You've got karma.
Caitlin Williams is in Goldsboro, North Carolina, from south to north.
How about that?
2.33, associate executive producership.
In the morning, it's been a while since I've donated other than my monthly recurring payments, so I'm glad to be back.
We're happy you are.
I knew I needed to donate after hearing the donation from Soylent Sass last week.
It's fun meeting other small business owners with similar interests, especially when they're also from North Carolina.
I'm still working full-time as a registered nurse but also actively growing my business of organic and handmade bar soaps and body products.
I made some bars with components of parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
Sounds like a song.
I'm sure you can guess the name of the soap.
In the spirit of the 70s, well, technically the late 60s, I'd love to send you each a bar.
Adam, can you give me your new P.O. box?
It's still the old one.
You can visit my Etsy at SweetCarolinaSoap.com.
Thanks, boys, for all your hard work.
It does not go unnoticed.
P.S. My donation is also in celebration of any other nurses who are listening.
Happy Nurses Week!
How did we miss this one?
Happy Nurses Week.
This is better than the pizza party we might get from our employers.
Thank you for your courage.
And thank you, Caitlin.
I'm going to throw out a little goat karma for all the nurses.
Happy Nurses Week.
You've got karma.
Let's move from Goldsboro, North Carolina, over to Raleigh, North Carolina.
Michael Bernstein, $204.01.
Gents.
Following on the coattails of your most recent fantastic shows, Mutual Wind's newest luxury shipping container home turned out fantastic.
As a celebration, I'm headed down to Puerto Rico this weekend.
This is our Tiny Homes guy.
Yep.
And having a no agenda meetup on Saturday, May 7th at the Sheraton Casino in San Juan.
Hoping to meet up with some of the tribe and have some non-triggered conversation.
Contact me through Instagram, Mutual Win Tiny Homes.
Mutual Win being one word.
Did you see the pictures that he sent of the latest tiny home they're celebrating?
The luxury shipping container home turned dwelling?
I have not.
I saw his last designed tiny homes and they're gorgeous.
Yeah.
I mean, every single time.
Like, it's a whole different vibe, totally different interior and exterior, but this is very interesting stuff that he's doing.
Mutual Wind Tiny Homes on Instagram, well worth a look.
Then we have Rhonda Moraka in Green something Springs.
What would that be?
I think it's Green Cove.
Green Cove Springs.
That's it.
$200, Florida.
This $200 donation is for a happy birthday karma on May 10th.
Joe Moraka, who is a wonderful husband and fun dad that loves listening to No Agenda.
Lots of love from Rhonda and Rachel.
Of course, we send out a karma for that.
You've got karma.
And last on our list of producers and executive producers for show 1448, Sir Salahouser of the 321 in Melbourne, Florida, $200.
ITM gents, it's been a while since I've donated, so please de-douche me.
You've been de-douched.
Also just wanted to add to the list of 70s terms with jive used in his sentence.
Sir Boccevici is a jive-ass turkey.
Karma for everyone.
Sir Salahazer of the 321.
I must say, a lot of people sending in different 70s words and slogans and sayings and it's a lot of fun.
Jive-ass turkey.
You've got karma.
Those counts as some jive-ass turkeys, man.
And that's our group.
Thank you so much for supporting the No Agenda Show episode 1448.
Love seeing all of these executive producers show up and associate executive producers.
You get the real credit for this episode.
You can use it anywhere credits are accepted, associated with success, which is IMDB. Go ahead, take a look.
You can put it right there.
Put it on your LinkedIn.
If anyone ever questions this credit, we'll be happy to vouch for you.
And thank you for understanding the model.
No commercials, no creepy corporate money.
You determine what the show is worth to you, and you send that to us, and we'll be thanking more people who also send value in our second donation segment.
And if you'd like to learn how to do this, go to your...
Thank you for your time, talent, and treasure in producing episode 1448.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
World.
Order.
Shut up, slave.
Shut up, slave.
A quick little thing on just continuing on Russia and some of the fallout from that, which kind of flows into climate change.
But there were some interesting stories as we still have relatively high oil prices.
Europe is...
It's in real dire straits with their gas supply.
I did learn something very interesting.
EU countries, you know, they're supposedly boycotting all Russian energy products.
And the main one I would say right now, which is a real problem in the US, but even more so in the EU, is oil, diesel oil, diesel for trucks and for transportation.
Quick clip on that.
This morning, diesel fuel prices hitting an all-time high.
Now $5.30 per gallon, up more than $2 from last year.
Just to fill up this truck, I'd say about a year ago, it was less than, I don't know, about $80 to fill it up, and now it's over $200.
The record prices could fuel higher inflation, putting more strain on American wallets.
That's because diesel is essential to the supply chain.
Nearly all heavy-duty trucks and nearly all trains use diesel.
So do most cargo ships.
And with shipping companies now facing the extra cost, consumers can expect to face higher prices on nearly everything.
Even energy costs could be affected.
Coal is transported to power plants in diesel powertrains.
Diesel engines also power most agricultural equipment, which means prices on those consumer goods may rise gradually.
But for truckers, the pain is immediate.
This law, for example, made that law for...
$2,300.
Now I'm doing it for $1,900.
In some parts of the country, diesel prices now top $6 per gallon.
And considering many big rigs only get about six miles to the gallon, some drivers are now paying more than a dollar per mile on the highway.
So that's all kind of inflation that was already in the system, but all right, let's blame it on Putin's price hike.
In the EU, many countries have said, we're not taking any oil from, no gas and no oil.
Of course they are, but here's how they're doing the oil part, because we know that tankers are leaving the Russian ports And, you know, there's tracking system, financial systems.
You can see who is purchasing the oil.
And there's this new unknown buyer.
Just unknown.
It's like the number one buyer of Russian oil now is an unknown according to all the financial statistics.
And the reason why is these tankers leave the Russian ports and then they hook up in the middle of the ocean with the EU tankers and they do the transfer there.
So they can then bring the oil back to the EU without it looking like it's from Russia.
This is very, very sketch what these people are doing.
Either you're boycotting or you're full of shit.
And I think full of shit is probably what they are.
They're going to get kicked out of office if they let their people freeze to death.
They've got to do something.
Well, no.
In fact, if you look at what my buddy, what's his face, Franz Timmermans is saying, he's the climate czar in the European Union.
He's saying, literally, listen people, if you really want to help fight Russia, take shorter showers.
Here it is.
EU Commission.
Take less showers and do not wash clothes in support of Ukraine.
And you know what?
A lot of...
You don't want to support Ukraine.
A lot of European people will do this.
How can you not?
The programming, the blue, the yellow, it's rampant everywhere.
All of our problems is Putin, Putin, Putin, support the blue and yellow.
It's being programmed.
And now Russia, Russian Ministry, let me see, this is from AgWeb, so there is some credibility to it.
Russian Ministry, which would be the Ministry of Industry, the Trade and Industry Ministry, has recommended the country's fertilizer producers temporarily halt exports to make the Great Reset happen even faster, apparently.
And this was not lost on Susan Powers, who used to be our ambassador.
To the United Nations, part of the Obama cabal, probably part of the people who are making decisions for Joe Biden to go out there and fumble through.
And she shows up talking about the fertilizer problem and is really cavalier about it.
Fertilizer shortages are real now because Russia is a big exporter of fertilizer.
And even though fertilizer is not sanctioned, less fertilizer is coming out of Russia as a result.
Hold on a second.
Fertilizer is not sanctioned?
First of all, who's she speaking for?
Is she in the government?
Yes, she's in the government.
She's in the shadow government with Obama and the Clintons.
No, is she in the government?
No, she's not in the government.
Neither is Obama.
Why is anyone talking to her?
I'm just curious.
Because she's part of the people running the show.
They are surfacing now.
They're decloaking.
Yes!
Well, it seems like it.
Yes!
You'll listen to what she says.
Less fertilizer is coming out of Russia.
As a result, we're working with countries to think about natural solutions like manure and compost.
And this may hasten transitions that would have been in the interest of farmers to make eventually anyway.
So, Paul, you have to make these decisions anyway, you stupid farmers.
Yeah, you can use manure.
No, you can't.
That does not give you the yield of the modern fertilizers.
But okay.
And this may hasten transitions that would have been in the interest of farmers to make eventually anyway.
So never let a crisis go to waste, but we really do need this financial support from the Congress to be able to meet emergency food needs so we don't see the cascading, deadly effects of Russia's war extend into Africa and beyond.
So now she supposedly...
What is she doing?
Let's find out.
What is Susan?
What?
What?
Africa?
Yeah.
What is she talking about?
Africa is already in food crisis because there's no fertilizer.
I thought she said Russia was going to invade or something.
No.
Did I misunderstand what she said?
Yes, you misunderstood.
What she's saying is we'll all collectively shit on our farms so that we can grow stuff.
Because they're talking about human waste, too.
But this will not help Africa, because they are really running out of the fertilizer.
Here's the last couple of seconds.
To be able to meet emergency food needs so we don't see the cascading deadly effects of Russia's war extend into Africa and beyond.
Yeah, the deadly effects.
What is she doing now, though?
Why is she asking for this money for the farmers of America?
And what is the money going to do?
She's lining up for that open vacancy that Pisaki seems to be losing over MSNBC. Oh, there you go.
Good one.
Yes.
You think she would take that gig?
Hell yeah.
Well, you know, MSNBC is having this huge shake-up.
Oh, really?
I knew about CNN, but MSNB... Rachel's still there.
She's not every day.
Oh, she's gone.
She's gone.
She was there during the SCOTUS drop?
She's going to be out very shortly.
She has been given a contract to continue doing specials.
Her show's going to be kicked to the curb.
This new woman, Rashida Jones, has taken over at programming.
A young black woman.
Who doesn't like Rachel, I'm sure.
Oh, Rashida Jones.
Wait, Rashida...
No, no.
Rashida Jones, daughter of Quincy Jones?
No.
It's got to be a different one.
I don't know, baby.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Well, I never suggested she was.
The point is, is that she's a friend...
She's one of the new underlings of this new guy, Cesar or something, some...
Guy with his Hispanic name, they're going to make it more diverse, and they've got to get rid of some people, including Rachel.
So they gave Rachel a huge raise to a reported $30 million a year to get her off her show.
Can you believe that?
So she's going to get $30 million a year and do specials for MSNBC and NBC. And as we know, she's really not a stand-up type.
She is one who sits behind a desk and yaks and yaks.
She can't do a special, but okay.
That just kind of seems like a golden parachute.
Meanwhile, Brian Williams quit at the end of last year.
And he's done.
I have his going away speech.
The first part of it is interesting because I think this was the, I think this was, he was also ousted.
I think this was, I think this is the feeling of the network, what he says in his first part of the night, which I do have.
Brian Williams won.
Well, look at the time.
I'll try to keep this brief.
After 28 years of Peacock logos on much of what I own, it is my choice now to jump without a net into the great unknown, as I do for the first time in my 62 years.
My biggest worry is for my country.
The truth is I'm not a liberal or a conservative.
I'm an institutionalist.
I believe in this place and in my love of country I yield to no one.
But the darkness on the edge of town has spread to the main roads and highways and neighborhoods.
It's now at the local bar.
And the bowling alley, at the school board and the grocery store, and it must be acknowledged and answered for.
Grown men and women who swore an oath to our Constitution, elected by their constituents, possessing the kinds of college degrees I could only dream of, have decided to join the mob and become something they are not, while hoping we somehow forget who they were.
They've decided to burn it all down with us inside.
That should scare you to no end as much as it scares an aging volunteer fireman.
Rashida Jones, it's a different Rashida Jones.
She does not have a very impressive resume.
She started as a morning show producer at WTKR in Norfolk, Virginia, moved to the Weather Channel as a weekend producer, later joined WIS-TV in South Carolina, Columbia, South Carolina, then moved to New York and was then executive producer for then moved to New York and was then executive producer for a few daytime shows at Okay, so she's coming from within the ranks.
That's pretty much her history.
This may be more important, though.
Her partner of six years, Edward Fisher, is the Community and Government Relations Executive at American University.
Maybe.
There's connections.
It's DC. She's a DC person, I guess.
All right.
Well, most of the people that have been interviewed about this situation over at MSNBC think she's a lightweight.
That's what seems from her resume, yes.
That can't pull off, and doesn't understand.
She wants to go more news to compete with CNN. Yeah.
And I think just because of the word that what's going on at CNN is also like a big shake-up.
She wants to compete with CNN more, and they say that she can't fill primetime slots because she doesn't know anything about primetime, never worked in it, hasn't got a clue, could never get anyone to draw a primetime audience.
And that's where it stands at MSNBC. Do we want the second part of Brian Williams' goodbye?
No.
Okay.
In that case, I'm going to flip back to food for a second.
You'll appreciate this.
As we're talking about fertilizer, two stories this week, which is really interesting, two stories about children who are on vegan diets from two different news outlets.
Yes.
Now, also two different studies, which is even more interesting.
So we have ABC start off kids with vegan diets, and they have some studious information.
You guys, we're going to turn now to a new study on children and a vegetarian diet.
Looking at whether such a diet could have an adverse effect, impact...
On a child health, our chief medical correspondent, Dr.
Jennifer Ashton, is here now with the results.
Good morning to you as always, Doc.
Good morning, sir.
And tell us about this study.
Yeah, you know, I found this interesting because there are a small but growing number of kids in this country who follow a vegan or vegetarian diet.
So researchers in Toronto surveyed the parents, then did some tests on the kids.
And found that there was no significant difference in terms of blood tests, in terms of bone density, in terms of growth for children who followed a vegetarian or vegan diet.
So, good news from that standpoint.
It did not appear to be harmful.
The study did find that children on a plant-based diet, they had similar growth in nutrition compared to those who ate meat.
That's right.
But they did find that children who were vegan, vegetarian, more likely to be slightly underweight.
You've heard me say it before, as a nutritionist and a doctor, being significantly underweight can be as bad as being significantly overweight.
But as long as it doesn't impact a child's growth curve, That's really what you care about.
So, you know, it's something that was significant with this finding, but not found to be or thought to be dangerous.
So this sets up these kids for bugs perfectly.
You know, I think animal protein is important for child development.
I'm no doctor, but they certainly omitted one area of study about vegan dieted children.
B12 is critical for a child's development and restrictive diets may be hindering B12 levels.
B12 deficiency is common in developing nations, but researchers from the University of Copenhagen say they're also cropping up in young children raised on vegan diets.
They're showing signs of poor motor development.
If B12 levels are too low, it can damage a child's nervous system, alter brain development and lead to anemia.
For years, health experts have focused on vitamin A, zinc and iron deficiencies.
Now they say the focus is changing to B12 in an effort to avoid malnutrition and resulting permanent health challenges.
So which one is true?
I don't know which one to believe.
And B12, that's something for old dudes like us.
Well, B12 does have an effect on the brain.
Positive effect.
So it might have an even more positive effect when you're younger and you need that B12 to get the brain to develop correctly.
We're the B12 podcast.
Are we now?
Yes.
Well, anyway, you're right.
You're right.
Can't be good.
Hey, the Queen, who I personally believe is probably no longer with us, she's got more problems than just life.
Some new trouble for Queen Elizabeth.
A new poll finds the popularity of the monarchy is on decline, especially among young people.
40% of British people ages 18 to 24 now want to abolish the monarchy.
The Queen is celebrating 70 years on the throne this year.
Ooh, boy.
We're just wanting to abolish the monarchy is something that comes in and out.
All the time.
All the time.
Yeah.
Never really pans out.
Well, there was one big piece of news I just want to jam in here because I have one clip that explains it all.
And this is the Pfizer documents and there was a subsequent analysis.
And these are the documents that they wanted to have...
Hidden away for 75 years because, oh my goodness, you know, it's just secrets, trade secrets, whatever.
Turns out none of that is true.
They were hiding some horrible facts, particularly about...
Pregnant women and the mRNA vaccines.
And this has now finally been broken down and detailed.
And the clip I have explains everything you need to know.
And I believe this to be a true representation.
It comes from our friend Naomi Wolf.
Who is now out and about everywhere talking about how horrible this is.
And she will explain in this two-minute clip exactly what the hullabaloo is all about.
And you can imagine this might have some far-reaching consequences.
What I'm about to share is probably the most disturbing and the most important.
Basically, this report written by a female physician analyzing the documents shows that...
Pregnant women were excluded from the trials before they concluded it was safe and effective.
They concluded it was safe and effective based on mice and the autopsies of mice fetuses.
And that, horrifically, the Department of Defense data shows that female soldiers' pregnancies are experiencing an absolutely catastrophic rate of abnormalities and fetal problems.
So it's so important.
I'm just going to read it.
It's super fast.
She says, to date, there have not been any human clinical trials, this is really real, what you're hearing, conducted by a COVID-19 vaccine pharmaceutical company to determine if vaccines are safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
All emergency use authorizations exclude pregnant women and no COVID-19 vaccine.
Vaccine has been approved for use during pregnancy.
Astonishingly, however, she says, many professional organizations have strongly advocated that pregnant women get this vaccine despite any lack of safety data.
And what she points out is thanks to the court ordered release of the confidential Pfizer documents, which the FDA wanted sealed for 75 years.
We have learned that pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers were excluded from phase one, two and three of the human trials.
One recently released Pfizer document lists 21 groups of people who are excluded from all phases of the Pfizer trials and specifically singles out, quote, women who are pregnant and breastfeeding as not able to participate in any of the trials.
And she gives the citation.
Despite this, the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine, all of these obstetrics and gynecological organizations were strong advocates for vaccinating pregnant and lactating women.
And even though none were approved, how, she asked, could they possibly be promoting an experimental untested vaccine for pregnant women?
As it turns out, their clinical recommendations are based on a faulty study conducted on a few dozen rats in France.
French rats!
Now, this is nothing new to the No Agenda show because enough people excoriated me for, you're not reading the study right.
There wasn't that many miscarriages.
You did it wrong.
You're stupid.
That's not the voice.
No, I know.
But that was the feeling.
Yeah.
So they didn't test it on no human trials.
Strong advocacy.
That's not a scam.
That is murder.
Well, it's murder.
Yeah.
They're not going to get away scot-free.
Well, they're going to have to...
Hey, speaking of scot, why don't we...
They should probably...
Wouldn't scot...
The guy, the Pfizer guy, what's his name?
The board member.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't want to say Newman, Newharth, Newman.
Scott Newby.
Oh, horrible.
It's so bad that we can't...
Gottlieb.
Gottlieb.
That's him.
Someone's got to be the fall guy.
He'd be a good one.
He'd be crazy.
He's taking himself out of the picture with his latest...
I got something wrong with me.
Oh, what, Scott Gottlieb?
No, Fauci.
Oh, yeah, Fauci.
Now, Fauci's not going to...
They'll never kill Fauci.
No, that guy's a lizard.
was.
He's a he's a lizard.
Yeah.
I think that's pretty much the only thing we have on...
Well, there's actually some brief coverage.
What did I have here?
Um...
Yeah, just setting stuff up.
This is short.
New York changing their COVID risk level.
Well, tonight the COVID risk level in New York City has been raised from low to medium as the rate of cases picks up.
The new designation means New Yorkers need to be more cautious.
Health officials advise wearing a mask in public indoor settings where vaccine status is not known.
And General Lieutenant Commander Deborah Birx is back on the scene with a book and new blonde hair, which, I'm sorry, that length and that color, that shade of blonde is just age-inappropriate.
I'm sorry, I'm just going to call it.
I have to say it.
And she's fear-mongering, and so she probably has a good consulting geek somewhere.
As you said, I'm aware of it because of my kids.
We're now at close to a million deaths.
Infection rates are going up, hospitalizations are going up.
I think it was just about 18% on the week.
Do you think we are done with these massive waves of infection?
I like to look at the whole spectrum of the last two years.
And so if you look at what we've been through, we went through a mini alpha variant surge in the same locations last year at this time.
Then we went into that lull of May where everybody thought it was over.
And in middle of June, and then we had the predictable surge across the South.
And what you need to be looking at is global data.
So I follow South Africa very closely.
They're good about testing.
They're good about sequencing and finding their variants.
They're on an upslope again.
Each of these surges are about four to six months apart.
That tells me that natural immunity wanes enough in the general population after four to six months that a significant surge is going to occur again.
And this is what we have to be prepared for in this country.
We should be preparing right now for a potential surge in the summer across the southern United States because we saw it in 2020 and we saw it in 2021.
Wow.
That's not general consensus right now.
That's a warning.
It's a warning.
Take your warning.
Heed your warning.
People are going to get sick.
I think it's true, though.
I think people are going to get sick.
Mainly those...
Vaccinated and boosted to the max.
The numbers show it.
So we could see that.
It will be portrayed as a resurgence of the pandemic of the unvaccinated, of course.
And the testing industry, man, this is so cool.
The testing industry has now come up with Global digital PCR and real-time PCR, which is being predicted as an $8 billion market.
Here it is.
The rising incidence of genetic disorders target infectious disease and increasing use of biomarker profiling for disease diagnostics and the successful completion of the Human Genome Project are the major factors driving the growth of digital PCR. Which I'm not quite clear on what that is.
And real-time PCR. And this is going to be used for everything, everywhere, at all times.
And we know that PCR is inherently not meant to be a test, but this testing industry is just going to continue.
Well, it's got a nice, it's branded.
It's very well branded.
Yeah, they branded it nicely and it works as such, as a brand.
And whether it works or not, that doesn't count.
Test.
Yeah.
Test the treat.
And then finally, children are still dying.
A mysterious hepatitis outbreak among children is spreading.
At least 10 states are now reporting an increase in cases of severe hepatitis in children.
One death has been confirmed in Wisconsin, and two kids in Minnesota needed liver transplants.
Doctors are looking for a cause.
They're investigating a type of adenovirus found in many of the children.
And found in the Johnson& Johnson vaccine.
Well, more recent research indicates that...
I can't even pronounce the word.
She mispronounced the virus.
Adenovirus?
It's because breastfeeding kids are starting to get a form of hepatitis.
From mothers who have been double-vaxxed.
With the regular old mRNA vaccine, they suck on the milk.
Next thing you know, they get a case of hepatitis.
Which is a liver failure in this case.
And so I think the adenovirus thing, which we pointed out with the clip of maybe two or three shows ago, when they first started cropping up and they dropped this adenovirus.
And they have no evidence of it, by the way.
I think it was a smokescreen to cover up for the mRNA vaccine, which I think is the core of this.
I think that other assertion, there's no proof of that.
They just say it.
Yeah.
They certainly don't even bring in any questions.
It's mysterious.
How could this happen?
I mean, how are children's livers just failing?
It must be something from outer space.
Aliens.
We can't imagine it being anything else.
If this thing proves to be true, the breast milk issue, this is, well, good news for Carnation, but this could be a huge problem.
So the reporting on this stinks.
I don't see any.
And if the medical establishment puts out some research, we won't see it.
No.
Well, thank goodness for Naomi Wolf.
I'm glad she's out there yelling.
She crashed me because her and Naomi Klein were both in the same ilk type of left-wing, you know, maniac.
Elitism.
Left-wing elitists, truly.
Yes, they're both left-wing elitists, progressives.
And somewhere, and I think it was during the Russiagate or something, where Wolf, the one we're talking about, she, I think, snapped out of it and became nutty going the other direction to think they were lying to me.
And she was very upset.
This kind of reminds me of, you know, Greenwald and Taibbi, who are both, you know...
But yet, I don't see Greenwald or Taibbi talking to Naomi Wolf.
She's been relegated to the war room.
Yeah, she's definitely on her own.
She's not in that same circle.
It's a different circle.
That's because they're men.
Oh, oh, oh, man.
Oh, yes.
Old, rich, white men.
That'll do it.
I'm going to show myself old by donating to no agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on your agenda in the morning.
And I believe we do have a few people to thank for show 1448, starting with Kyle Kilbury.
Now, he's going to be knighted.
You want to read his knight?
Yeah, it's actually Sky Kilbury from Belfair, Washington.
What did I say?
Kyle.
Kyle.
Please knight me, Sir Skizzle 420.
I love blunts.
I'd like to thank Mark Stewart from...
Is that part of his title?
That's a good point.
No, I... I don't know, actually.
I think it is.
You think that's part of the actual title?
Yeah, SirSkizzle420, I love blunts.
Hmm.
What else would he put it there in that sentence, in that regard, without a comma?
I love blunts.
Well, I'll add it there, just in case.
I love blunts.
I have no problem.
You can always drop that later.
I'd like to thank Mark Stewart from PulleyUp.
Pualop.
Pualop.
Thank you.
For hitting me in the mouth in the spring of 2017 after I said I like JRE. I've been off the liquor and face bag since the summer.

Well, at first I had a hard time getting used to being hit in the mouth.
However, I am forever thankful your show has helped deprogram my brain from the brainwashing coming from the N5M propaganda and my amygdala has shrunk to a manageable size and I feel great!
Yes, this is the health benefits of the No Agenda show.
Can I please be knighted as Sir Watson, knight of the mushroom people of Nova Scotia?
Yes, you can.
It's a great day for Canada and therefore the world.
I would like to request cannabis edibles and royal pudding at the round table.
The only thing that could make this day any greater is Trudeau and his goons getting dethroned, arrested and tried.
Seriously, F that guy.
Worst prime minister ever.
Worse than his dad, Pierre Elliott Trudeau.
Shout out to everyone on No Agenda Social.
Keep doing what you're doing.
Take care, boys.
Troy Watson.
And P.S. He says, no more comments.
Okay.
With the tongue sticking out, I'm sure.

I want to thank these folks for being participants and being producers for show 1448.
Yes, and I got an emergency health karma request from a knight in Austin.
A friend of the show, also known as Pal of the Pod, had a health emergency this morning.
We can't mention any more, but they felt that a health karma would help, and so we'd gladly do that.
You've got...
And thank you all for supporting the No Agenda Show, 1448.
Again, thanks to the execs and associate executive producers.
Please think about sending some value our way for the next show.
If you got any value, if this show is, if you are still listening, you must have gotten some value out of it.
Anything counts as long as it's meaningful to you.
Go here for more information.
Visit dvorak.org slash N-A.
And we have good lists today.
Sean LaVoleur Adam to her wonderful husband, I presume her.

We got somehow two birthday make-goods.
I guess we messed something out.
Jason Allison said happy birthday to his smoking hot wife, Kelly Allison, 42 on May 2nd.
Not 33, as he stated in his note.
And Scott Smith has a make-do here.
His daughter, Mackenzie, turned 16 on May 4th.
And not 15.
Why are we...
Okay, we've got all the dates and everything right.
There's so much admin to take care of.
It is sometimes mind-boggling.
And heaven forbid...
I'm sorry, heaven forbid what?
I... Girl turning 16 is told she's turning 15.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's the worst.
That is kind of bad.
I agree.
We have some titles.
Dame Jennifer, as you heard, becomes Viscountess today.
Very excited about that.
And Jim Blanchard, Sir Cull of the Left Turn at Albuquerque, now becomes Sir Cull of the Front Range, Baron of the Northwest Greater Denver Area.
Very nice.
In addition to that, Sir Chris becomes Sir Chris, Baron Knight of the Vortex Ring State.
Even though he says Vortex, I'm pretty sure he meant Vortex.
Thank you all for your additional support of the No Agenda show.
Upgrades and titles come with the same $1,000 level.
Thank you all for supporting No Agenda.
And we do have, let's see, one, two, three, five.
Yes, five knights to do.

No Agenda Meetups!
Meetup calendar is stacked for the next couple of months.
You should check it out at noagendameetups.com.
These are completely produced or organized, although we do have a special one coming up on the 16th in South Carolina, which the Keeper and I will be attending.
I believe Dame Jennifer organizing most of it.
But first, let's check in with a few of the meetups that took place over the past week.
This is our meetup report from Croatia.
Hello, Adam.
Hello, John.
This is the creation meeting report.
It was very nice.
Nice booth, nice girls.
But no one shows up from the agenda.
Community.
Anyhow, in a couple of days I will be back in Belgium and hopefully in Europe, northern Europe, we have more slaves attending.
And thank you also to Mimi for her courage and for help.
Thank you.
Bye.
All right.
So Croatia, big bust.
No one showed up.
Maybe next time.
Now we have a report from Wyndham, New Hampshire.
to you from Wynnum, New Hampshire at a no agenda meetup at Cuomo Sushi.
Hey John, are you eating something?
Or is that just a lozenge in your mouth?
This is Thomas, Sir Thomas in the morning.
This is Lamar and I'm looking forward to New Hampshire seceding from the U.S.
It is Sirhan Sirhan with my immaculate immolating wife, Erica.
My mama!
Hi, this is Sarah Brown with our three human resources.
My mama.
One, two, three.
Somebody skipped himself.
This is James visiting from the North Country.
This is Jared Woodard from Berlin, New Hampshire.
Thank you so much.
And this is Sir Lord Tidwell.
Make sure everybody shows up for GrokFest next week.
We're going to have a no-agenda meet-up there on Saturday.
All right.
Closing out, this is Synthesizer.
In the morning.
In the morning, women!
All right, so this report, and I appreciate the meetup, sucked.
And I'm going to have to start making decisions when you send in reports.
I wanted to make sure I played all the reports that came in today.
We have to professionalize.
If you can't do an audio report, then don't do it.
Then just send me a nice little paragraph.
I can read and tell everybody how great it was.
I enjoyed listening to that one.
It sounded like it was roaming around.
It was 3D. It was unbelievable.
It was that new Dolby technology they've been talking about.
Yes.
And by the way, you can continue this and then stop tape afterwards.
Oh, does the dog finally have to poop?
Oh yeah, okay.
Let's go to Local 76 at the bowling meetup.
What's Jake and Gitmo Nation?
This is Sean with Local 76 here in Hardmore, PA at the Wynwood Lanes Bowling Alley.
Having a wonderful bowling night with a good handful of our buddies.
And I guess it turns out that I've done a lot of deliberating.
I am the spook.
Wait, scratch that.
I'm drinking out loud.
Hey, Mommy Mama here.
We won't have much time to spare with a human resource on the way, but we'll be sure to make time for you guys.
It's great to be here at the bowling alley, losing.
Ants.
Yes!
I do have ants.
We're having a great time here at the bowling alley where we have found the White House Press Corps' missing balls.
Listen up, Gitmo Nation.
Grab your balls.
We're going bowling.
My mind's in the gutter.
Just like Adam.
Bear the drama.
We be bowling.
Renegade here.
These Philly 76 meetups are on a roll.
Also, strikes good, spares bad.
Sorry, I would love to give you a bowling pun if I had one to spare.
Steven from Phoenixville.
No agenda.
John and Adam's round smooth orbs of truth knocking down the pinheads of the M5M. Ooh, there you go.
That's a report.

Sheraton Hotel and Casino, the District Lounge.
Make sure you're RSVP for that one as well.
The GrokFest, New Hampshire, Gitmo Nation Freelands in Club Conspiracy on the Conspiracy Campground in Candia, New Hampshire.

Then there's going to be, on Saturday, a Dinesh D'Souza 2000 mules party at 7 o'clock.
That'll be in Belmont, New Hampshire.
And it says Dinesh D'Souza is the organizer.

The 16th, there it is.
Charleston, South Carolina.
And it just keeps on going.
I'm picking a few out.
May 18th, Guilford in the UK. I mean, this is all over the world.
If you have never been to a No Agenda Meetup, you've got to check one out.
Go to noagendameetups.com.
If you can't find one near you, I suggest you start one.
It's easy and always guaranteed a party.
Sometimes you wanna go hang out with all the nights and days You wanna be where you won't be Triggered or held the flame You wanna be where everybody feels the same It's like a party Dogs are people too.
And we check in.
Has the dog pooped?
I didn't watch.
You didn't watch, but we did have ejection?
I don't know.
Oh, well...
Poops in a pile of poop.
I don't know.
I can't tell if it's new poop.
Okay.
It would be nice to find a solution for the dog's poop issue during the show.
Well, 2 o'clock is more...
You know, usually when we do the show in the old days, we're out of here by 1, 1.30 when the dog has to go out at 2 o'clock.
If we can get the show...
The dog has a watch now?
The dog's pretty regular.
Good.
ISOs.
I have two.
This is going to blow up the White House.
Which is no good.
This is the only one I have.
Someone has to go to prison.
That one I liked.
I think mine might actually be better.
Okay.
Which one is it?
Oh, here it is.
You have one?
This one?
Yeah.
Why in hell are we still doing this?
Well, we're still doing this.
It's not punchy.
It's a good way to end the show.
It's not a good way.
Do you think that's a good way to end the show?
I'm going to give it to you, but I am now outlawing Joe Biden short clips.
I don't care what kind of flub he makes.
You've killed me with Joe Biden little clips of him being stupid all day, and now we have to end the show with it.
I play just a few minutes of Joe.
Oh my goodness.
Okay.
And by the way, Joe Biden being stupid is redundant.
If you had had the medley, then it might have been better.
It would have been a lot better.
I'd have to go recreate the medley.
It really annoys me.
It took me like an hour to put it together.
Hey, something's going on in the UK that needs highlighting before we leave.
And this is what they're doing with illegal immigrants.
And I don't know if they're seeing an influx of illegal immigrants from this particular place, but this is where they're going to send them.
Our compassion may be infinite, but our capacity to help people is not.
So from today, our new Migration and Economic Development Partnership will mean that anyone entering the UK illegally As well as those who have arrived illegally since January the 1st may now be relocated to Rwanda.
This innovative approach, driven by our shared humanitarian impulse and made possible by Brexit freedoms, will provide safe and legal routes for asylum while disrupting the business model of the gangs.
So...
It's a deepfake.
No!
No, this is not fake.
No, this is real.
Wait, they're illegal immigrants from, like, say, Syria, and they're going to move them to Rwanda?
Off to Rwanda you go.
And they've already paid Rwanda $120 million.
I guess it would be pounds to take care of all of these illegal immigrants here.
Because it means that economic migrants taking advantage of the asylum system will not get to stay in the UK. While those in genuine need will be properly protected, including with access to legal services on arrival in Rwanda.
And given the opportunity to build a new life in that dynamic country, supported by the funding we are providing.
I haven't been to Rwanda recently, but is that a dynamic great environment?
I love it.
I think it's good.
I think we should send Fauci and Birx and all those.
Send them to Rwanda as well.
This should be the new place.
This is a great clip, you say, for the end of the show.
Well, thank you.
Now I have to look into this.
They're going to just take people they don't like that came into the country, and even if they need legal help because they're going to sit up with some lawyers in Rwanda.
Yeah.
Isn't it great?
It's grand, man.
It's grand.
Well, you know, Roosevelt kind of did the same thing with the illegals that came in from the southern border, and he put them all on a ship, a lot of them on a ship, and shipped them to Costa Rica, I think.
But it was some country other than their own.
And it's not unprecedented.
I think it's dynamite.
But Rwanda.
I'm loving the idea.
Off to Rwanda with you.
So they had to do a bunch of diplomatic action, let's say, from country to country to find some country that go along.
Yeah, we'll take the $120 million, no problem.
Yeah, pretty much.
Was there maybe some more money in the future?
Yeah.
I think so.
I think we'll get more money if everything works out.
Oh, okay.
Just ship them over.
We need people to run, you know, manage some stores here.
I don't know what they're going to do with it.
I did like the extra.
Thanks to the Brexit freedoms, we're able to do this.
I kind of like that.
That was nice.
That was a nice little touch.
Yeah, nice touch.
Nice touch.
Nice touch.
Alright, anything else to wrap it up with for today from your end?
I'm out.
I think I'm good.
I'm out.
I've done everything we need to do.
And there we go.
This is crazy.
I feel a little discombobulated, but by Sunday we'll be into the swing of things.
I did wake up at 7 today.
Glorious.
Thank you.

6 in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where it's, I don't know whether you can't even give a weather report.
I remain.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
Coming up next on NoAgendaStream.com and TrollRoom.io.

Join us again on Sunday.
Until then, remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA. We'll see you Sunday.
Adios, mofos!
and such.
What I said to myself, you dumb shit, just pay attention.
Just believe what you believe.
Quit listening to all the other shit.
I hate the mainstream media, and I hate the statesman.
No agenda is where you get your news for free.
Value for value, or you could say V for V.
The podfather, the man they call JCD.
Twice a week, we hear the guys speak.
Listen live on the Mastodon and troll around.
Thursdays and Sundays at 2 p.m. is going down.
Listen to the news with critical views and thought.
Avoid certainty, more certainty.
And sending gifts to the P.O. Boxers and the Burgundy.
With no agenda, you're getting your news mixed with stats.
Send a boost with some stats.
Want more of Adam and Curry?
Listen to Moe with the facts.
We can't thank you enough.
Take all of our stuff.
The fun fiat coupons, especially the cut bucks.
Media deconstruction never misses.
I love it when the John and Adam's heating up the eclipses.
The show don't start till the fat lady sings.
Until the days and nights, he'll make sure to show off the rings.
Hear people in their mouth who propagate the formula.
Is what Mike Singletary said he had his store for ya.
Did this?
It's a war on men Hallelujah.
The war on men.
Amen.
I'm gonna go out.
I'm gonna jump for joy.
I don't need no toxic mail.
I need a soy boy.
It's the war on men.
The best thing I ever did was get it off the grid.
If you're white, you're a racist.
If you're male, you're a pig.
If you're cis, you are privileged.
Skinny, shaving if you're big.
And if you're straight, you're homophobic.
Heaven help if you're wrong.
So don't have an opinion, and just do what you're told.
Here's the story of a bunch of snowflakes who were tripling on some other people's rights.
All of them lived at home with their mother.
They wanted to start fights.
Here's the story of a bunch of vannics Whose addiction was to outrage all the time They got so whipped up into a frenzy Thought they'd commit some crimes Then no one day they went to a tender rally And everyone who disagreed was punched And this group thankfully got arrested Now we get to laugh at them, the snowflake bunch.
