	It's going down.
	Going down, man.
	Adam Curry.
	John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, May 12th, 2022.
	This is your award-winning Get My Nation Media Assassination Episode 1450.
	This is No Agenda.
	Landing with no flying experience and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No.
	6 in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where we're celebrating...
	National Mental Health Awareness Day.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill in the morning.
	Well, that's groovy.
	We are, of course, the poster children for mental health awareness.
	Texas is showing prominently on the posters.
	What do you mean?
	We're insane in Texas?
	Is that what it says?
	Yeah, exactly.
	Mental awareness in Texas is bad?
	Mental health.
	Yeah, mental health awareness.
	Mental health awareness.
	We have no awareness of mental health.
	Is that it?
	Yeah.
	That's a known fact.
	What are you even asking me for?
	So, hey, man, let's just start this off with something really weird.
	And I saw you had clips.
	That's why I'm going to start it off.
	This passenger who landed the airplane with no flying experience?
	We're missing some of the story here.
	I have an Ask Adam question at the end of this.
	Okay.
	Can we jump right into your first one?
	Sure, play away.
	And then did you see this today?
	An absolute nightmare in the air above Florida.
	That is the sound of a passenger who has no flying experience taking over control of a private airplane after the pilot had a medical emergency.
	That plane nosediving toward the ground at one point until one of the two passengers on board gets behind those controls, calls for help, And then safely lands the plane.
	Correspondent Brooke Schaefer is live in Florida for us tonight.
	So, Brooke, the more that we hear about this story, the crazier and wilder it gets.
	Yeah, what a story, Marnie.
	The FAA here even calling this a miracle.
	Miracle!
	Mid-flight, that plane was actually even over the water when all of this happened.
	The pilot lost consciousness.
	So, forced to land the plane was a passenger, a guy who had never flown a plane before.
	A serious situation in the skies near Palm Beach.
	A desperate call to air traffic control from the passenger in this plane.
	Something was seriously wrong with his pilot.
	I have no idea how to fly the airplane, but I'm standing at Army 100.
	So, Roger, what's your position?
	I have no idea.
	He throws the floor in front of me, and I have no idea.
	What was the situation with the pilot?
	He is in it, so here he is out.
	The pilot out.
	The passenger with no idea how to fly the plane.
	That's when the air traffic controller steps in.
	Roger, try to hold the wings level and see if you can start descending for me.
	Push forward on the controls and descend at a very slow rate.
	I said, I want you to start a slow turn to the north so the shoreline is going to be off your right side.
	Robert Morgan was on the other end of that call.
	He and his team printed out pictures of the plane's cockpit and from the air traffic control tower helped that passenger land the plane safely.
	Yeah.
	I know you have a second clip, but I have some comments.
	We're all airs.
	So...
	I've never heard someone say, I have no flying experience.
	Very interesting.
	You would say a number of things.
	Then also, very novel in this case, air traffic control instructed this never-flying experience person to descend to 5,000 feet so they could talk on the phone.
	On the cell phone, this is highly irregular.
	So we don't have any audio of the controller really helping this guy down.
	Most of that went through a cell phone call, which even at 5,000 feet, this is not a great idea if you want to have constant...
	I've used cell phones in airplanes and small airplanes before.
	It doesn't work really well at all.
	Well, the report that I had has him going through the radio.
	A little bit.
	A little bit.
	And not the cell phone.
	It never mentions the cell phone.
	Huh.
	Most of this was done on the cell phone.
	That's odd.
	Well, this report doesn't say that.
	But I read the transcript, and I listened to all the available audio, and they went back and forth for at least a minute getting the number right.
	Hmm?
	Who recorded it?
	How do you get the two sides of the record?
	Oh, no, when he was still on the radio, it was ATCLive.net.
	They record all that stuff, so that was recorded.
	Yeah, no, they're talking about the cell phone call.
	No, we don't have the cell phone call.
	Oh, I thought you said you heard the cell phone call.
	No, the number.
	They were actually going back and forth for a minute, a precious minute, trying to get the guy's cell phone number.
	Clearly he knows how to use the radio.
	Clearly he knows how to do this.
	Again, that's not in this report, so I don't know anything about that.
	Alright, so let's do your second one.
	I can see somebody saying I have no flying experience.
	This guy had at minimum flight simulator experience.
	There's no doubt about it.
	Oh, I think everybody said Microsoft Flight Simulator.
	But I heard him talk.
	He said, hey, I can't figure out which nav I should be on.
	Anyone who says which nav I should be on has done something in the flight simulator.
	So that's no flying experience.
	Was that in the first clip?
	I didn't hear that either.
	No, but this is all on separate audio.
	All right, well, let's play the rest of this clip.
	Or as he's on the way in, I started to talk to him about how the brakes would work.
	Is he a hero?
	He is a hero.
	What he did is pretty incredible.
	Justin Hine is a pilot.
	He knows the air traffic controller on that call, Robert Morgan.
	Later in the day when I found out that somebody landed and the controller helped, I knew it was Robert Morgan right away.
	Because he's the only controller that I know in this area that's a pilot, and with him being an instructor, he was able to definitely teach him and know what he's doing to get down on the ground.
	And Marnie, get this, that air traffic controller even said he's never flown this specific plane before.
	So really, all of this working out as it did is a miracle.
	We know that pilot was taken to the hospital.
	At this point, we are still waiting on some official confirmation as far as how he is doing tonight.
	Marnie?
	Yeah, that instructor even having a printout of the dashboard to understand the controls in the cockpit.
	Brooke, really incredible.
	All right, thank you.
	Oh, really incredible.
	So there it is.
	Not this particular kind of aircraft, but we really don't have any of that information because that was all done on the cell phone, which is highly unusual.
	Highly unusual.
	I don't think I've ever heard of this being done via a cell phone.
	But when you take into it, do you have the Ask Adam for me?
	Because I can do that now if you want.
	I'm the guy in the plane.
	Wait.
	Alright, you're the guy in the plane.
	The passenger.
	I don't know how long this took, but after I land the plane, do I get to log it?
	Absolutely.
	Although, that would have to be signed off by an instructor, so...
	Well, the instructor who landed me could sign it off.
	Yes, he could.
	Yes, that would qualify as...
	That would qualify as...
	No, I don't know how long he was flying around, but that would qualify for some flying time.
	Let's say it was an hour.
	Yes, sure.
	Sure.
	Okay, so it goes in the book.
	Okay, that's what I wanted to know.
	That was your question.
	Okay.
	So, the tail number of this aircraft was November 333 Lima Delta.
	I mean, whenever I see these things and it's weird, I'm just like, oh, come on, man.
	There's too many threes.
	We don't really know about any of the passengers.
	We don't really know if this...
	And he was billed initially as a passenger pilot.
	So it sounds like someone who might have had some flying lessons, maybe has done flight simulator, was sitting up front, so he's not just a typical passenger, unless they had this caravan loaded.
	And this particular aircraft I know a lot about have flown them, the Cessna Caravan.
	Its main function is cargo.
	It can haul a lot of cargo.
	And you put some crappy-ass seats in there.
	I think you can take up to eight people with a crap load of cargo.
	This has a special cargo bin underneath.
	It doesn't go very fast at all.
	It's not the thing if you're island hopping and you've rented a plane.
	It's not necessarily the one you want.
	So there's really no information about other passengers.
	We don't even know what happened to the pilot.
	This guy, no interviews as far as I know, further with him.
	He's just a hero and he can sail off into the night.
	I think this was a drug run.
	I seriously do.
	I think this was a drug run, and that's why they had to get it off the radio, do it on the cell phone.
	The report is that this never-flown-before pilot wanted to land at a different airport.
	And they said, no, no, no, no, you should come over to International because you got the long runway.
	So this whole thing smells.
	Smells bad.
	Well, the pilot, at least when this report was made, was in the hospital, so they don't...
	Right.
	Yeah, the pilot that passed out.
	Yeah, it could be.
	It could have been the pilot.
	Well, if you want to take it to that extreme, you want to fictionalize it.
	I would say it was a drug run.
	The thing was filled with, let's say, cocaine, and the pilot took a couple of toots while he was up there, and it was laced with fentanyl, Yeah, and he passed out.
	Yeah, of course.
	Hey, man, before I fly, I'm going to take a couple of toots.
	That's exactly what pilots do.
	Yeah, so a couple of toots with fentanyl.
	You got to keep the fentanyl in there.
	Because that is part of the news stream this week, because all they're doing is talking about how many people died.
	Well, on that note, regarding the Sandals Resort, Sandals Emerald Bay Great Exuma, How about this for Gitmo Nation?
	We have an actual boots on the ground report from one of our producers who was at the Great Exuma Sandals Resort, who met Vince and Donis, who died, and hung out with them for several weeks before they died.
	I mean, several days.
	And I got a full-on boots on the ground report from one of our producers, And, you know, so I was thinking this could be drugs.
	Hey, we're on vacation.
	We're two couples.
	We're hanging out.
	Let's do some toots.
	Boom, fentanyl.
	Now, that doesn't appear to be what happened, according to our Boots on the Ground report.
	They were there celebrating an anniversary, but the two who died, who were married, had been married for 40 years.
	It was their 40th wedding anniversary.
	And I put most of his, concealing his identity, known to me of course.
	He even sent me photos of his wife and himself with the deceased.
	And the main thing, if you go through his excellent rundown, which starts on, I think, Tuesday all the way through the day after they had passed away and had been found, there was a lot of drinking.
	A lot of drinking.
	And in fact, the guy Vince, on Wednesday, They were at dinner, the four of them.
	He said, I'm having shortness of breath for the last two days.
	Now, our producer's wife is a nurse practitioner and said, you know, you should go get checked.
	It may be something to do with his sleep apnea or whatever.
	The next day, the guy does a round of golf and 18 holes and he felt better.
	And that's the last they saw of them.
	And, you know, he says there was initially some thinking about carbon monoxide poisoning that could have come from the hot water heater in these two little villas.
	By the way, the two couples didn't know each other.
	They only met once.
	The one whose husband died, and I think the wife is on the ropes in the hospital still.
	So they weren't doing blow together, apparently, if that's what they were doing.
	Um...
	And, you know, the speculation, he says it could have been just excessive drinking and there's higher-end alcohol in the villas.
	It could have been tainted alcohol.
	We saw that in one of these resorts a couple of years ago, I think.
	Yeah, that's right.
	The tainted alcohol scandal.
	But then Sir Ted of Leak Detection and Ozone Hole Mitigation checked in.
	And he says, Adam, is your resident refrigerant specialist?
	Here's what I'm thinking.
	A leak is one thing you're looking into.
	Freon is odorless.
	Many of the newer systems pipe the refrigerant into the space where it changes state in the coil from a liquid to a gas, sucking the heat from the area.
	It's very efficient.
	If a leak occurs in a small confined space, the refrigerant will displace the oxygen starting from the floor to the ceiling.
	I imagine this hotel villa was small, windows closed, AC blasting, they were laying down.
	Could have been that.
	I've never thought of the refrigerant being a problem.
	I've never heard of such a thing.
	Well, he is the knight of leak detection and ozone hole mitigation.
	Yeah, well, I understand that.
	You can't argue it, though.
	So there you go.
	Gitmo Nation on the case, as usual.
	Yes.
	We've spent 10 minutes.
	We've learned absolutely nothing.
	Speculation is dynamite.
	Yes, of course.
	Because we have the right people to do the speculation as opposed to us doing it.
	Correct.
	Which would be me as a pilot.
	Right?
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	Whatever.
	Okay, onward.
	Alright, so what do you think is the biggest news?
	What do we need to start with?
	I mean, we have such a cornucopia of choice.
	Well, there's Roe.
	I mean, if you notice, mine is very eclectic.
	Yes, and again, overclips.
	I don't have any series.
	Kind of overclips.
	I don't have the series of clips.
	But let's do a couple of things.
	I've got some Roe material.
	Let's do the Roe stuff, get it out of the way.
	Okay.
	I've got some CBS reports, Roe 1 and 2.
	Let's go with Roe 1.
	The Senate failed to stand in defense of a woman's right to make decisions about her own body.
	Democrats argued the measure would codify Roe vs.
	Wade by preserving access to abortion services, while Republicans declared it too extreme.
	When I said this was a five alarm fire, I meant it.
	I'm being called a radical extremist.
	Because I believe she's valuable.
	West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin was the only Democrat to side with Republicans against the legislation.
	We should not be dividing this country further.
	House Democrats walked over to the Senate chamber for the vote.
	So that was just a bad cut.
	It sounds like there was something going on at the same time.
	No, that was a cut to the demonstrators did some shit.
	But the demonstrators weren't anywhere.
	It wasn't where Manchin was.
	Well, no.
	They put Manchin on.
	He says one word Yeah.
	Or two.
	And then they cut to something else completely different, and I'm thinking, what kind of sloppy cutting is this on this news package?
	Is it sloppy or is it intentional?
	I don't think it was intentional because it was too jarring.
	Let's listen again.
	Against the legislation.
	We should not be dividing this country further.
	House Democrats walked over to the Senate chamber for the vote.
	Protests have intensified around the country following the Supreme Court's leaked draft opinion.
	Yeah, this is so cool what's going on here in America.
	I'm telling you, self-immolation is coming.
	Someone's going to go completely apeshit and burn themselves over this.
	Well, I like the fact that you're putting that into the ether.
	Yes, well, I need to get it out before it happens.
	So it can be low to the collective unconscious and some lunatic wearing probably a green kind of a raincoat with a med cap screaming on her knees will be the one that does it.
	Yeah.
	Maybe.
	We'll see.
	Let's go to cut two.
	We are not your incubator!
	Personal threats have also increased among some lawmakers, like Maine's Susan Collins, who called police after protesters left messages outside of her home.
	I have received threatening phone calls, letters, threats of sexual assault, threats against my family members.
	Organizers are gearing up for another round of demonstrations this weekend in major cities, including along the National Mall in Washington.
	Our hope is that through these mobilizations and through our organizing efforts, our elected officials will know that no politicians can hold this over us.
	Several states are also readying so-called trigger laws that would restrict access to abortion if Roe is overturned.
	The governor of Illinois telling CBS News his state is bracing for an influx of women seeking abortions should they take effect in neighboring states.
	We're trying to provide logistics help, a place to stay, anything we can do to help them exercise their reproductive rights.
	Tonight, the Attorney General has directed the U.S. Marshals to ensure the justices' safety, and he's being briefed on security around the Supreme Court.
	CBS News has also learned that state and local law enforcement agencies remain on high alert.
	The justices are scheduled to meet tomorrow.
	Nora?
	It's going to be busy.
	Yeah.
	I'm going to be busy.
	Before we start talking about this, we should play this one clip, Row Canada, and then I have some comments about this bullcrap.
	If there comes a time soon when it is harder for Americans to access abortion care, they would be welcomed by Canada.
	I mean, I don't see why we would not.
	I mean, if people come here and need access, certainly, you know, that's a service that would be provided.
	That's what Karina Gould, Canada's Minister of Families, Children and Social Development, told the CDC this month.
	Okay, so now we have a bunch of situations cropping up.
	They're kind of just subtext in these news stories.
	One is Illinois.
	Oh, you know, we're going to be in the influx because we're the one state in the area, you know, the Midwest that can do abortions.
	And then we have the Canada person sticking their nose in.
	If I'm thinking this could be a bonanza, you know, these doctoring operations, they're all, nobody goes to a doctor anymore.
	They go to these health centers.
	You set up shop, a smart money sets up shop in Illinois and just brings people in left and right.
	Screw Canada.
	Why should you have to go to Canada when you go to Illinois?
	You can go to California.
	You can go to Washington.
	You can go to Oregon.
	These places have got wide open abortion allowances.
	You can come to California and get an abortion.
	But where's the entrepreneurs?
	And where's the interviews of the entrepreneurs that say, yeah, we're going to set up a big facility here and we're going to be cranking out abortions like there's no tomorrow.
	Instead, they play this Canada thing about, oh, Canada.
	Well, you can come to Canada.
	You can go to Massachusetts, you can go to New York, you can go to New Jersey, you can go to Illinois.
	There's tons of places you can go.
	This is de-emphasized just to cause trouble.
	I think that the reason why you don't see the entrepreneurs is because the business case has already been stated.
	Amazon is getting into this.
	For their employees, which I think also will include customers, I believe Amazon will set it up so they will transport women to a state where an abortion can't be performed.
	They will then take the parts to sell them to the rest of the world.
	This is good.
	Why not?
	Why not?
	Hey, it sounds good to me.
	And do you get a free Prime membership?
	No, this service is included with your Prime membership.
	You see, you get Amazon Prime Video and abortion transportation, also known as Abtran.
	Aptran, exactly.
	That would be right.
	Now, if I may.
	And you get these guys doing the transportation are all contractors driving around those Amazon trucks.
	Oh, yeah.
	Or it's just people who drive Uber.
	It could be any of them.
	This is a bonanza.
	Bonanza.
	Bonanza.
	This is, of course, political, as we discussed on the previous episode, and they've popped this way too early, so it has to get pretty extreme.
	That's why it's easy to call self-immolation.
	But here is Senator Schumer, head honcho in the Senate for the Democrats, pushing the political meme, which is now everywhere.
	Now, Republicans have talked about their dream to overturn Roe v.
	Wade for a long time, but now the MAGA Republicans have taken...
	MAGA! If the MAGA Republicans get their way, millions of women in America would no longer have power over their own bodies and their own lives.
	If the MAGA Republicans get their way, young girls will grow up in a world where if they become pregnant because of rape, They will have no choice but to carry their rapist's child.
	Can you imagine?
	If the MAGA Republicans get their way, pregnant women could lose their lives because there will be no exception for the life of a mother if there's a dangerous complication in the pregnancy.
	If MAGA Republicans get their way, women and their healthcare providers could go to prison for life for their medical decisions.
	So I think he's trying to brand the MAGA meme.
	And this MAGA meme and Ultra MAGA. Ultra MAGA. It's popping up everywhere.
	And our joke writer, official no agenda joke writer, Marty Higgins, has sent me a note about this ultra thing.
	He thinks it's neuro-linguistic programming, the ultra use of the word ultra.
	And he has some long argument about it.
	Well, I think it's a great meme, and Trump immediately pulled that moniker on.
	You know, he's like, oh, this is great.
	I'll be ultra-MAGA. I'll be the MAGA king.
	Ultra-MAGA. Ultra-MAGA. Do the rescue.
	Now, it's not just political, though.
	Oh, no, no, no.
	This has severe economic consequences.
	This was interesting.
	As you know, I'm following the Great Reset.
	Clearly something's going on.
	It may be just the prelude.
	We may be in the middle of it, just looking at the markets.
	Even my friends at DH Unplugged are flummoxed.
	Our Secretary of the Treasury, Janet Yellen, was asked by friendly fire, Senator Menendez, Democrat from New Jersey.
	Let me see, was this it?
	Wait a minute.
	Now I wonder if I have the wrong clip.
	Hold on.
	Crap.
	Let's see.
	The ability to have full control over one's reproductive health has real-world economic consequences.
	So, Secretary Yellen, if the draft of the court's majority holding in Roe v.
	Wade is the actual decision, what impact will the loss of abortion access mean economically for women?
	Well, I believe that eliminating the right of women to make decisions about when and whether to have children would have very damaging effects on the economy and would set women back decades.
	Roe v.
	Wade in access to reproductive health care, including abortion, helped lead to increased labor force participation.
	It enabled It allowed many women to finish school.
	That increased their earning potential.
	It allowed women to plan and balance their families and careers.
	That it had a favorable impact on the well-being and earnings of children.
	How old are the Democrats making children work these days?
	...earnings.
	In China, maybe.
	...well-being and earnings of children.
	I didn't even catch that.
	Isn't that weird?
	It's the weirdest thing she said.
	The earnings of children.
	Get to work.
	I'm only eight!
	...impact on the well-being and earnings of children.
	Assembling iPhones.
	There are many research studies that have been done over the years looking at the economic impacts of access or lack thereof to abortion.
	And it makes clear that denying women access to abortion increase their odds of living in poverty or need for public assistance.
	For half of the population of America, eliminating a right that has existed for half a century, particularly for low-income and minority women who have already showed that much of the burden from the COVID pandemic would be a disaster.
	I have two things to say about this.
	First, here's the economic argument which I disagree with.
	Modern monetary theory works exceptionally well unless you're missing one element.
	And modern monetary theory, we're in the middle of it.
	This is just printing up as much money as possible.
	Another $5.7 trillion coming, which we'll discuss.
	We're slipping into the Japanese debt trap, as I was taught by the former New York banker.
	And if you look at Japan, right now they're pretty much dead in the water and they're slowly ceasing to exist.
	People are saying, hey, Japan may not be around in 20 years because they're not making new human resources, which you need in the modern monetary theory system.
	And so this goes completely against what I would presume Janet Yellen stands for, is MMT, to have less people unless you want us to cease as a nation.
	Okay, I have some thoughts on this, first of all, by the way.
	The Roe of Wade thing began in 72, 71, 72, codified 73.
	Pre that period in the 60s, you had a booming economy, it was going out of control.
	70s depression.
	Right.
	So, okay, well, what about that?
	Well, let's just ignore that.
	The other thing, and you're right, because I think since 73, there's been something like 74 million abortions, which would be 74 million people working in the system.
	19 million of them black babies, by the way.
	Yep.
	And who could be working in the system?
	And making a good wage, as we just heard.
	Good wages.
	As a kid.
	As a kid, good wages.
	So there's that element, which has to be taken to account.
	I think your concept by bringing in MMT into this and adding those numbers is dynamite.
	The second thing is that, well, if we can't have all these people, we'll just abort our own and then open the southern border and bring in all these Democrat voters.
	Exactly.
	That's right.
	Why would we want to risk...
	Having black babies live and turn out to be Republicans.
	Could happen.
	Yeah, it could happen.
	Now...
	Personally, I'm pro-choice.
	I'm anti-murder, unless we can broadcast it on television.
	That's what I always said about capital punishment.
	I'm solutions-driven.
	Let me just say, what I hate about this conversation in America is the lack of context.
	What is really going on here?
	And this is, in my mind, specifically about ADOS abortions.
	So, American Descendants of Slavery, that's what Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, that's what she was all about, was diminishing the specifically American Descendants of Slavery population that was much better for America.
	That is now kind of universally recognized on the right and on the left, that that is the genesis of Planned Parenthood.
	But what made this worse was regulations, which truly were white supremacists of no man about the house.
	When the blacks came up from the South, and I said the blacks, that's right, everybody, sue me.
	A friend of mine just got deplatformed over doing that.
	um, So when the blacks came up, that was the stipulation.
	If you wanted to have welfare payments for you and your kids, it could be no man about the house.
	There were patrols to make sure that didn't happen.
	And what this now resulted in initially was a culture of Obviously, men not being in the house, amongst poor people, so the OGs at the time were the blacks, now it's the blacks and the whites, but let's just focus on the blacks, The fetus has been weaponized now with the baby daddy culture.
	You know, 70 or 80% of children grow up without a father figure in the house.
	And thanks to, like, the Kardashians in our modern culture, the concept of the baby daddy is, oh yeah, you know, I'll have this baby and this guy's going to take care of me.
	These guys often run off.
	They become deadbeats.
	The fetus is weaponized in this.
	Hey, I've got your baby, you know, if you don't want my baby.
	And then that's why you have these later term abortions is because of this baby daddy culture that should be illegal.
	The glorification of this.
	That's my personal opinion.
	You're right.
	That's the real problem.
	Yeah, it is a real problem.
	You nailed it.
	I have...
	Going back to the political side, have you noticed that many news networks, I've seen it on Fox, I've seen it on CNN and MSNBC, they're bringing on comedians to do opinion and commentary, and it's often really lame, especially if they're not introduced as a comedian.
	Have you seen any of this?
	I think this began with the podcasters.
	Yeah, but it's like all of a sudden Tucker.
	And then also Gutfield has good ratings like you pointed out.
	I can't watch that.
	But okay.
	It's so poorly done.
	MSNBC brought on Laurie Kilmartin.
	Who apparently is a comedian.
	I have no idea.
	There's a million of them.
	Yeah.
	But this is the level stuff that you get then in an opinion show on a so-called news network.
	So, I mean, here's the thing.
	Here's my feeling about the leaker.
	I would like to find out who the leaker is so I could make sweet love to that person because that person is a hero to me.
	Okay?
	And if the leaker, a lot of people are saying you could be a conservative, if the leaker is a Republican, and if I get pregnant during our lovemaking, I will joyfully abort our fetus and let them know.
	I don't know if that answered your question.
	I probably didn't.
	It was a little off topic.
	That's just weird.
	Why would you do that?
	It's tacky.
	Yes, tacky.
	This is open mic level comedy.
	Oh, it's very poor comedy.
	I mean, especially with the, you know, abort the Republicans.
	It's not funny.
	No.
	I mean, abortion is not funny as a topic.
	No.
	And then to do this sort of in-your-face type humor, which is...
	Edgy.
	So we've seen...
	I'm sorry.
	I'm just saying it's just lame.
	It's very lame.
	So we've seen the MAGA meme, trying to get MAGA out there.
	MAGA this, MAGA that, MAGA Republicans.
	Then the next thing is, what will they do next?
	What will the MAGA Republicans do next?
	And an unbelievable tweet, I'm sure you saw it, from the mayor of Chicago, Lori Lightfoot.
	Yeah.
	I just want to quote this tweet.
	Wow.
	To my friends in the LGBTQ plus community, the Supreme Court is coming for us next.
	This moment has to be a call to arms.
	Are you kidding me?
	I mean, is that not direct?
	I mean, that's not even protected under the Constitution almost.
	If you take call to arms literally...
	Well, I mean, if it was, you know, it was an insurrectionist on January 6th.
	Right?
	Yeah.
	Oh, man.
	Hold on.
	You were so right.
	You told us about Trump's cover your ass memo regarding January 6th?
	Right.
	It was a segment.
	Right.
	So, there's a new memo...
	That he sent to, I think he sent it to 60 Minutes.
	Did you see this?
	So he sends it, Donald J. Trump, I love his little presidential seal on his paper there.
	And it's talking about Mark Esper's book.
	And then he refutes a couple of things about Esper.
	And then here is one of the statements from the 60 Minutes piece.
	Question.
	President Trump wanted to send 10,000 active duty troops into Washington, D.C. after the St.
	John's Church was set on fire.
	And Trump says, wrong.
	I wanted to send at least 10,000 troops for January 6 because I knew many people were coming to Washington that day to protest the corrupt presidential elections of 2020.
	Nancy Pelosi and the D.C. mayor turned me down.
	60 Minutes should ask them why they chose not to have proper security, which would have totally changed that day and allowed us to have a proper debate on the evidence of massive election fraud, which the fake news media still refuses to cover whatsoever.
	And another question.
	That was a beauty.
	I mean, that saves his ass.
	That saves his ass.
	And he certainly was playing some kind of chess up front there.
	He was smart.
	Another question.
	On a couple of occasions, President Trump suggested to Esper they attack the drug cartels with missiles.
	And to that, Trump says, no comment.
	He's got to love it.
	He's got to love it.
	Very funny.
	It's hilarious.
	It's really, really good.
	Now, along these lines, just to get it out of the way...
	The 2000 Mules documentary debuted online, which is from Dinesh D'Souza.
	And I have some thoughts about this.
	Did you see this at all?
	No, I did not.
	Everybody in the family is asking me what I think and I said I haven't seen it.
	I know what it is.
	Do I have to see it?
	Now I'm glad you saw it because now you can tell me if it's something that we've not discussed.
	If there's new information that's come to light, is it anything that I have to see?
	Well, before I answer that question, could you give me a synopsis of what you think is in it?
	I think overall an argument about voter fraud that probably took place in 2020 with some evidence.
	Okay.
	Well, I purchased the documentary.
	You know, I'd like to do that.
	I definitely never...
	I try not to steal content from anybody.
	I feel it's wrong.
	So I found the $30 price tag rather high.
	That surprised me.
	But it was done pretty well.
	He was doing this through his locals' account, and whatever it was, the purchase was pretty seamless, and it was, at the time I wanted to watch it, not easy to get a free copy, although it is kind of ambiguous whether you could watch it for free or not, and I saw things posted as if that was okay, and I saw it taken down other places, so it didn't matter to me, I wanted to pay for it.
	This was way too much money for the production value.
	This thing was a piece of shit.
	It was reality show level production, almost like it was inside the Big Brother house.
	And for some reason, his wife is in every shot.
	And so they're interviewing two main people.
	This reminds me of some other guy that I think we both know whose wife seems to be in a lot of shots.
	Go on.
	Who is that then?
	Bloom.
	It was a level of that, except she didn't look like Bloom's wife.
	And she had no contribution.
	She was just nodding, and she's in every shot.
	And she's the co-producer, all that.
	But it really surfaces around two people at Truth the Vote, I think.
	I have it in this clip.
	And they purchased cell phone tracking data Not connected to, not really personal identifiable, but they were able to purchase this data which just had cell phone IDs.
	They were able to map where these cell phones went.
	And of course, when the cell phones went home, they were eventually able to correlate those to human beings at that address.
	And what they say is there were 2,000 mules on election night, mules meaning people carrying harvested ballots, which in most states you really can't put more than your own ballot into the box.
	And then they had all this video footage, which they also acquired under FOIA and all done above board and legally.
	You could literally see these people and their actions, how they were just stuffing the ballots, the brazen corruption of the election.
	The problem is...
	Well, I'll get to my conclusion.
	The problem is that the 2000 Mules documentary is not being picked up or really discussed by much right-wing media, specifically Fox News.
	Which is odd, although I have my thinking as to why that is.
	But I want to play a clip here from D'Souza, now doing a podcast with his wife, and she speaks now in this one, and we'll get to the bottom of what actually is going on, because it seems like there's some issues, including Tucker Carlson's show.
	One of the really remarkable things about this movie is that we have made it a success.
	It's been trending pretty much constantly.
	It's very unusual to see the same topic trending for day upon day upon day on Twitter.
	I should add one thing.
	They explained very clearly how money went into non-profits, and non-profits were the ones that were harvesting the ballots, and then these mules would go to all of these non-profits, and they had the registered addresses, and they would pick up the ballots, and sometimes they'd go back 10 times a night, they'd go to different non-profits, not Once in the entire documentary, did they even mention one of these non-profits?
	There was some suggestion that these were funded by the Zuckerberg and Chan Foundation, which we know to be pretty much true.
	We've heard of the ballot stuffing.
	But that was very odd.
	They didn't mention any of these non-profits, which I found suspicious.
	And it's funny, because I look for it.
	I'm like, 2,000 meters trending.
	And I look a few hours later, it's not trending.
	I'm like, wait...
	Trending Dinesh.
	Today was trending D'Souza.
	Then back to 2,000 mules.
	So it's back and forth.
	But the point to make is that this is a phenomenon.
	But we have done that with no help.
	I should say no help from either Fox News or from Newsmax.
	You know, it's a little unfortunate because I've been going on Fox News almost weekly to talk about various issues.
	And, you know, part of my reason for doing that is not just because I like visibility.
	It's partly because I say, you know what, I'll do them a favor, and then I'll have a book out, I'll have a movie out, and they'll get behind it.
	I'm not saying they have to agree with it.
	Ooh, wow, he's lifting a veil of how it really works, why you go on talk shows to give your opinion.
	It's really because you expect something in return, not just for your visibility.
	But they allow me to talk about it.
	Yeah, and that to me is the most surprising thing of all because if they don't agree with the content, they can at least debate it.
	They can just put it out there and go, you know what, we don't think that what you're saying is a fact and so we want to fact check it or whatever.
	But to not mention it.
	I mean to pretend it doesn't exist.
	But they're purposely not mentioning the movie because as we know...
	Recently, you may have noticed that Katherine Engelbrecht of Truth The Vote went on Tucker Carlson's show.
	Okay, so this woman and her husband of Truth The Vote, they are the center of this documentary.
	It's their data, it's their maps, it's their video footage.
	I hope they're getting paid from some of that $30 for the work they've put into it.
	And she is really the one who is breaking this wide open, this 2,000 mules.
	And she went on Tucker Carlson.
	And here's Dinesh's story.
	And they talked about geotracking.
	They talked about through the vote.
	No mention of 2,000 meals.
	And a lot of people were like, what's going on?
	What's going on?
	And for a while there, I was just silent about it because it's...
	This is the problem with Fox News is they essentially kind of...
	They feel like we have you.
	You know what I mean?
	You can't get off the reservation because we can crucify you.
	This is the underlying...
	And to be fair, we did want for...
	Catherine and Greg's work to be known.
	Because that's the whole purpose for doing a movie about their work.
	And we told them this from the very beginning.
	So Tucker Carlson and his producer told Catherine Engelbrecht, we'll have you on, but do not mention 2000 Mules.
	Don't mention it.
	We forbid you to mention it at all.
	So don't talk about the movie!
	And now Twitter is just blowing up with...
	So you're right.
	There's nothing in here we didn't know.
	And I think what's being missed, the reason why Fox News will not talk about this, is because 2,000 mules were stuffing ballots for both Democrats and Republicans.
	That's why.
	It's so obvious.
	They don't want to tell you which non-profits, because some of them may be related to financing from the Republicans.
	So they don't give you that information.
	Fox News doesn't want to talk about it.
	It's obvious, because the corruption was on both sides.
	It may have been a lot more for Joe Biden.
	Sure, possible.
	And the other thing that just...
	Maybe Icky is, throughout this whole documentary, I get a vibe of, we really need the digital ID to solve this problem.
	Seriously.
	So, I'm not a fan of this documentary.
	I don't like what's going on.
	I think it's a small issue compared to the voting machines, but no, that's just me.
	So, I'm not so sure about Dinesh.
	And man, you and I would have...
	We would have rejected that documentary.
	It was so bad.
	We really would have.
	Like, no.
	You mean insofar as it's production?
	The production was...
	Even the content, it was just not great.
	Very disappointing, actually.
	Well, you know, it's not easy to make a good film.
	No, it's not.
	It's not.
	All right.
	We should probably do a little bit of Ukraine here, because as you know, the most important thing that's on everybody's mind is the war in Ukraine.
	There's nothing else that really matters.
	I mean, ho, ho, ho, ho!
	And we passed a, well, we passed the $33 billion pact.
	We added seven to it.
	House lawmakers have approved $40 billion in new aid for Ukraine.
	That's $7 billion more than President Biden requested.
	A U.S. official now says up to 10 Russian generals have been killed in the conflict.
	The U.S. Director of National Intelligence warns Vladimir Putin is preparing for a prolonged war and may turn to a nuclear threat as he struggles to refresh his ground forces.
	And that may end up meaning that they have greater reliance, in effect, on asymmetric tools during this period.
	So they may rely more on things like cyber, nuclear, precision, etc.
	And that's obviously a shift in the way in which they are exercising their efforts for influence.
	Meanwhile, President Zelensky says Russia's blockade of ports on the Black Sea could lead to a global food crisis.
	No kidding?
	Really?
	Thank you.
	Thanks for that info.
	So, I mean, a lot is going on.
	Again, this is something they're never going to be able to drag out properly media-wise until the midterm election, which is part of what it's for.
	It's definitely helping with more money printing.
	See the $40 billion and the outrage over it.
	Turns out to be a total of 53.
	Have you seen what it's all for, though?
	It's like USAID. You know, that goes to all the NGOs.
	It's for military-industrial complex.
	It's for CIA black budgets.
	And there's a secondary little thing there.
	Is that the CIA part you're talking about?
	Like there's another 10 billion?
	I have kind of an overview clip.
	Maybe we should play this at the beginning.
	Ukraine updates, CBS. You're really picking them from...
	From the central intelligence broadcast system these days.
	Now to the war in Ukraine, where neither side is moving toward a decisive military victory, and instead it's looking more like a stalemate that could last months or even years.
	And we're learning today that a Russian soldier in Ukrainian custody will be the first to face a war crimes trial for allegedly shooting an unarmed 62-year-old civilian.
	CBS's Debra Potter reports tonight from Ukraine.
	It's a game of cat and mouse.
	Danger never far away.
	Village by village, Ukrainian soldiers are pushing Russian troops away from Kharkiv and back towards the Russian border.
	In their wake, a trail of death and destruction.
	And a bittersweet victory for those coming home.
	The fighting has not let up in the south and the east.
	Even in Mariupol, the Russians do not have full control, thwarted by a Ukrainian regiment who remain barricaded in that steel plant.
	Injured, close to starving, the soldiers release these haunting images.
	Many have amputated limbs, doctors forced to operate without proper supplies.
	For loved ones on the outside...
	How can they not have proper supplies?
	What are we using that money for?
	Is that not getting to these front lines?
	Proper supplies?
	No, no, no.
	They're talking about specifically the guys holed up in the basement of the steel mill.
	They're still there?
	I thought they were out.
	No, they released the civilians.
	They're out.
	Ah, okay.
	Oh, you know, the timeline is confusing you.
	So they get these guys who still, I think, are the Nazis are still down.
	And they show these pictures, by the way.
	Yeah.
	And they're gorgeous pictures.
	But, you know, I mean, they're done in a noir style, professionally photographed.
	They have a lot of that going on in Ukraine.
	They're very artistic.
	Any single shoes?
	Any single shoes?
	Not that I could see, but it seems to me that if you're down there and you're taking pictures and you're assuming that these pictures are being taken by a phone, that would be my assumption.
	Yeah, yes.
	It was a big Nikon.
	Yeah, of course.
	But even if they're down there with a big Nikon, you flip the button and you take a movie.
	Where's the movie?
	That was a good point.
	You put the, you know, where's the crummy movie that people take?
	They got all these fantasy photos.
	Don't worry.
	Where's the movie?
	Dinesh D'Souza will have the documentary.
	Sure.
	I don't want to hear any more about Dinesh D'Souza.
	Many have amputated limbs, doctors forced to operate without proper supplies.
	For loved ones on the outside, the weight is unbearable.
	The country.
	Lilia Stupina's husband, Andre, messages her every week to say he's alive.
	She's more and more desperate.
	I will take a gun and go to Mariupol by myself.
	He'll take a gun and go to Mariupol.
	I will do everything to save him.
	Stoic and resolved, she believes the world is not doing enough.
	They are heroes, not only for me.
	For Ukrainians.
	And we want our heroes to come back home.
	We want them alive.
	A plea echoed by Katarina Prokopenko, the wife of the brigade commander, begging the Pope to intervene.
	Yeah.
	Okay, that's trauma-based entertainment.
	That is how they try and keep you cloistered in front of your news box to learn more.
	But I have three short clips.
	Nobody's cloistered anymore.
	No, of course not.
	But that's why you need to do something extreme like Lindsey Graham who says, we got to take Putin out.
	Putin's got to be taken out.
	There's no other way.
	So you're saying that that's how this ends, that Putin is removed?
	Is there any way...
	There's no off-ramp.
	There is no off-ramp.
	No off-ramp.
	No off-ramp.
	So let me tell you why there's no off-ramp.
	Please.
	The Ukrainians are not going to give the East to Putin to stop the war.
	They're going to fight for every inch of their territory.
	If we push the Ukrainians to give up half the country, then Putin wins.
	If we back off prosecuting Putin as a war criminal, all the laws on the books become a joke.
	If we don't get this right, China will certainly invade Taiwan.
	There is no off-ramp in this war.
	Somebody's gonna win and somebody's gonna lose.
	And I hope and pray and do everything in my power So he wants to invoke terrorism laws.
	No off-ramp.
	This guy, who was in Ukraine in 2014, 2015, 2016, promising, promising that we'd take care of everything with John McCain, These are horrible, horrible, warmongering people who must have some kind of corrupt connection to Ukraine.
	I can't imagine any other reason why you'd speak like this.
	And then, this pushing of poor Finland.
	Poor Finland!
	Finns are not even the same as Europeans.
	Not even the same as Scandinavians.
	The Finns are a whole different race.
	And now they're being pushed towards NATO, along with Sweden.
	And breaking news, the leaders of Finland say they're now in favor of joining NATO. Finland shares a long border with Russia.
	Neighboring Sweden is expected to decide on joining NATO in the coming days.
	A major step in confronting Vladimir Putin, who has long fought against NATO expansion.
	And we have listeners in Finland, they're not really happy with this.
	I have a clip from, it was last week's clip, I didn't move it forward, but you can look it up.
	You have the database.
	Play it, because it discusses this a little bit from a different perspective.
	This is the Russia, I think it's from a, I don't remember the exact thing, but this is worth listening to.
	The clip is called Russia Finland, Sweden.
	From Helsinki, Owen McNamara is Visiting Research Fellow at the Finnish Institute of International Affairs.
	And from Brussels, we're joined by international affairs strategist Nicholas White.
	Gentlemen, welcome to Inside Story.
	Dimitri, let's start with you.
	How will Russia react if the two countries join NATO? It's threatened to deploy nuclear weapons to the Baltic border region and Kaliningrad.
	Should those threats be taken seriously?
	Well, so far the statements were mostly made by the former Prime Minister Mity Medvedev, not by President Putin himself.
	So I wouldn't read too much into the statements from Medvedev.
	Obviously, Russia is very upset and distraught about the possible membership of Finland and Sweden in NATO. Let me remind you that during the Cold War, our relations with these two countries were not bad.
	With Finland, they were actually good.
	Yeah.
	Well, just in case things don't go good, the UK has stepped up.
	And Boris Johnson went to Sweden to talk with the Prime Minister.
	Nice little announcement that, hey, you know, we're going to put our NATO membership in.
	We'd like to be a part of this.
	And don't worry, because the UK, good old Boris here, has got our back.
	The Prime Minister and I have agreed to face challenges in peace, crisis and conflict together.
	And if either country should suffer a disaster or an attack, the United Kingdom and Sweden will assist each other in a variety of ways.
	The many carcasses of Russian tanks that now litter the fields and streets of Ukraine, thanks to Swedish-developed and British-built N-laws, certainly speak to how effective that cooperation can be.
	But most importantly, This is an agreement that enshrines the values that both Sweden and the UK hold dear and which we will not hesitate to defend.
	You're dumb.
	I mean, first of all, the guy's name is Boris.
	Alright, should that give you a clue that maybe you should, like, step away from this?
	Where's Natasha?
	Right?
	And the UK, who, now they're the heroes.
	We're, we, you, me, Tina, Mimi, everybody, sending 40 billion over to Ukraine.
	53 total.
	And Boris, Boris, Boris Johnson gets to go over there.
	Don't worry, we got your back.
	Uh-huh.
	What are the chances of that?
	Once they find the bullet for the army and they got enough coal for the Air Force to fly, please!
	So, this is gratcheting things up, to which Foreign Minister Lavrov, who doesn't love him, made a little joke.
	If you cannot sleep because of Russia-Ukrainian conflict, there are some advices.
	To calm you down.
	First, imagine that this is happening in Africa.
	Imagine this is happening in the Middle East.
	Imagine Ukraine is Palestine.
	Imagine Russia is the United States.
	Okay, thanks.
	That's really helpful.
	Over to the media portion of it.
	Everyone getting on board.
	We have to go way beyond the yellow and blue flags.
	Of course, we see artists jumping on the bandwagon.
	The Edge and Bono performed in the subway in Kiev, which is clearly a set.
	They don't really have a vast subway network, I'm reliably informed.
	At least not since 2018, so they must have built a lot really quickly.
	But there's news now about Bono.
	What are the chances?
	He has been telling his life story in song for decades.
	Now Bono is writing a book.
	He's set to release a new memoir this fall.
	Surrender will follow Bono's life and the band's career through 40 of its greatest hits.
	The book has been in the works since 2015.
	It'll officially be on sale November 1st.
	So it's just a cheap-ass ad.
	Hey, I'm back in the picture, everybody.
	It's Bono.
	Remember to buy my book.
	It's coming out soon.
	Then we have the Scorpions, Madison Square Garden, the Scorpions, who I went to Russia in 1989 with the Scorpions, with many others, to put on a CIA-managed concert to bring down the Berlin Wall, the hit that did it at the time.
	Contrary to what many believe, it was not David Hasselhoff, but it was the Scorpion's Wind of Change, the only song that Klaus Mayne did not write.
	Again, maybe it's just coincidence.
	There's entire podcasts about this that suggest the CIA may have had a hand in writing and promoting that song.
	But that was about Russia, about Russia breaking free and joining the global community.
	So now what happens now at Madison Square Garden?
	So now they're playing wind So now we're using wind of change for Ukraine Against Russia And this is this is this has gone off the rails
	That's a little anecdotal insight that no other podcaster could possibly have.
	And I will give you one more.
	Oops.
	Unfortunately, we will not be able to do the Saturday Eurovision Song Contest final narration, as I have a prior engagement.
	As you know, I'm an aficionado of Eurovision.
	I've watched it since...
	I was planning on this.
	I'm sure you were.
	Jimmy, shut up.
	You liar.
	But we do like calling out the winner ahead of time.
	So they had the semifinals this past week, and we're now on to the finals, and I would like to make a prediction who will win.
	First, tell us in the semifinals before you make your prediction.
	Okay.
	Hold on a second.
	So other people can play along.
	Yes.
	Okay.
	Eurovision 2022 finalists.
	Here we go.
	The finalist countries are, they call it the grand final, not grand finale, the grand final.
	Armenia, France, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, Italy, Greece, Iceland, Lithuania, Moldova, United Kingdom, and Ukraine.
	Who's not in the finals?
	There's a lot of countries not in the finals.
	Finland, Israel, Serbia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Malta, San Marino, Australia, Cyprus, Ireland.
	A lot of people didn't.
	A lot of countries didn't make it in.
	But it doesn't matter.
	I'm going to call it right now.
	Well, just take a genius.
	I know what you're going to say.
	Everyone knows what you're going to say.
	Ukraine, of course.
	It's so obvious.
	And I think they have the song to back it up.
	Kalush Orchestra.
	This is Stefania.
	It's a hip-hop guy in a pussy hat, John.
	Yes, he's got a pink pussy hat on.
	And he's like a Ukrainian hip-hopper.
	Go!
	I want you to hear the hook when the sky kicks in.
	This is terrible.
	No, wait for it.
	It gets worse.
	This is the entry from Jochen!
	How cool is that?
	Winner.
	Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
	Written all over it.
	Could be Moldova.
	But I think Ukraine is just so obvious.
	Do you have the Moldovan example?
	I can grab it real quick.
	I don't have it handy, but we might as well do this.
	Hold on, let me open up the channel here.
	Let's see.
	Moldova.
	Here's Moldova.
	We click on the link.
	And here we go.
	Am I not hearing?
	The sound of silence?
	Is that the name?
	Oh, here we go.
	Okay.
	It's some country and western hick-like stuff.
	I think Ukraine beats Moldova easily in that one.
	It's odd that the United Kingdom, they never, I mean, since the 70s, or maybe there was something in the 80s, they never win.
	They're the laughingstock of Eurovision, and they have an entry, Sam Ryder, in the finals.
	Let's listen to a little bit of his.
	If I was an astronaut, I'd be floating in the air.
	And a broken heart would just belong to someone else down there.
	Okay, let's listen to the hook.
	It sounds like it's stolen from something more familiar.
	Mmm, yeah.
	It has a stolen sound.
	Typical Brits.
	Stolen sound.
	The Dutch entry is also in there.
	I haven't heard this one, but I heard it's really depressing.
	It's called The Depth.
	Oh, there you go.
	Already sucks.
	Rain, dark, I'm alone.
	Dutch, that makes sense.
	So anyway, the show business will continue, but what are they going to do after they let Ukraine win?
	There's just not going to be much more.
	They can't push it.
	They already rolled out Bono.
	Maybe they could have Madonna do a concert for him.
	I mean, she's desperate these days.
	But I don't see how they can continue this psychological operation to get us all jacked about it.
	Seriously.
	I don't know.
	This Roe vs.
	Wade thing is really taking the steam out of the Ukraine thing.
	By design.
	It allows them to pump the money up.
	Mostly Republicans.
	The funny thing was, and I have a couple of Biden clips, and I hate to play them in the first half of the show.
	No, I'm okay with that, because he has been saying a lot of stuff that is necessary to analyze.
	But they talk about the vote for the $40 billion straight up, and it was like 100% Democrats and 70% Republicans voted for it.
	And only like 50, 50 or 60 Republicans voted against it?
	Yeah, very few.
	And, you know, Marjorie Taylor Greene, I think, gets those guys.
	All the so-called mega Republicans voted against it, which is not that many, but according to Biden, they're taking over the place.
	So Biden talks about inflation a lot, and this is from his inflation speech.
	Mm-hmm.
	And I have...
	These aren't a bunch of short snippets so much as a little longer so you can get a little better feeling for what he's saying.
	This is Biden on...
	So you can get a better...
	You can focus your brain to understand what he's saying?
	Is that the reason for the longer clip?
	No, it doesn't help.
	But it just brings context in.
	Go on this one.
	Play a couple of these.
	This is Biden on inflation, straight up.
	Biden on inflation.
	I think what's happened is we have...
	In a sense, I never expected...
	Let me say this carefully.
	Yeah, I do.
	I never expected the ultra-MAGA Republicans who seem to control the Republican Party now to have been able to control the Republican Party.
	I never anticipated that happening.
	Mr.
	President, a year ago the administration was saying that inflation was transitory.
	That's obviously not the case now.
	How long do you think it will be until we see prices coming down?
	I'm not going to predict that.
	It ranges depending on which economists you're talking to by the end of this year, and some say it's going to increase next year, but there's others say by the end of this year you're going to see it come down, by the calendar year.
	I don't know, but I know what we have to do to make sure that we can bring it down.
	He doesn't know anything.
	He doesn't know shit.
	But the point is, is he makes this assertion that the MAGA is taking over the Republican Party, but based on the votes, where only 70 Republicans in the House and Senate combined voted against the 40 billion, and the MAGA people, and Trump included, are against this throwing money at Ukraine to this extreme.
	So it's full of shit.
	They haven't taken over.
	The Lindsey Grahams and those other, you know, the kind of the Democrat-Republicans aren't the ones that still run the party.
	The other guys, they still win the elections and they're going to probably take over, but they haven't.
	So he doesn't know what he's talking about.
	I just thought that was an interesting thing because he's freaked out about the fact that they're still around.
	It's great to blame it on Republicans.
	It makes nothing but sense.
	We'll play through these clips.
	Here's kind of an edited one for time, just that Biden edited for inflation.
	It's just him rambling about it.
	Kitchen table.
	I want every American to know that I'm taking inflation very seriously, and it's my top domestic priority solutions.
	And there's going to be more we're going to have to talk about as well.
	But first, I want us to be crystal clear about the problem.
	There are two leading causes of inflation we're seeing today.
	Does any of them include massive printing by the Federal Reserve?
	Please tell me.
	The first cause of inflation is a once-in-a-century pandemic.
	These supply challenges have been further hampered by the onset of Delta and Omicron viruses.
	And this year we have a second cause.
	A second cause, Mr.
	Putin's war in Ukraine.
	We saw in March that 60% of inflation that month was due to price increases at the pump for gasoline.
	Putin's war has raised food prices as well.
	Because Ukraine and Russia, two of the world's major bread baskets for wheat and corn, are essentially completely stalled.
	But here's the good news.
	Because of the actions we've taken, America's in the stronger position to meet this challenge than just about any other country in the world.
	They're independent.
	They're independent.
	I believe that inflation is our top economic challenge right now.
	And I think they do too.
	We've built a strong economy with a strong job market.
	And I agree with what Chairman Powell said last week, that the number one threat is the strength, and that strength that we built is inflation.
	So the Fed should do its job, and it will do its job, I'm convinced, with that in mind.
	Our number one strength is the threat of inflation?
	Is that what I'm understanding?
	It's what he said.
	Could I interject these clips with a quick ABC News report regarding the MAGA King inflation?
	President Biden is promising to beat inflation after the latest numbers showed it remains near a 40-year high.
	Biden outlined a plan yesterday to help farmers boost production to lower food prices.
	The plan involves investing in fertilizer and insurance programs.
	Meanwhile, he took aim at Republicans, who criticized his plan to raise taxes on corporations and give tax credits for electric cars.
	My Republican colleagues say these programs to help the working class and middle class people, they say that's why we have inflation.
	They're dead wrong.
	Under my predecessor, the great MAGA king, The deficit increased every single year he was president.
	Biden also said that he's reduced the deficit to help fight inflation, but Republicans say the administration's overall spending is the problem.
	This is a fantastic message that they're putting out there.
	The message is President Biden is reducing the deficit by one trillion dollars.
	And so, I think most people go, oh, that's great!
	You know, that's not, you know, $1 trillion less?
	Wow, Trump couldn't do that.
	But it's not the national debt.
	It's the deficit.
	That means the amount that we don't have.
	That we put in the budget.
	So what he does is he puts together an almost $6 trillion budget.
	Yeah, it was less...
	Saved or created.
	Saved or created jobs and people and is saying, oh no, we're cutting the deficit.
	But that's nothing.
	It's going to increase...
	The debt, the national debt, by a trillion a year.
	I mean, it's...
	And this is the death knell.
	If this budget, which I doubt it will, but if it gets through intact, oh my God!
	I mean, you really got to stop the abortions because we need a lot of people to make up for this Japanese debt trap we're falling into.
	Yeah, it's a real issue.
	But this is a great messaging.
	The deficit will reduce the deficit.
	What?
	So here, there's also some screwball messaging he makes.
	Since you bring up screwball messaging, let's listen to this clip.
	Well, first, let's listen to this clip.
	I want to listen to this.
	This is the Inflation Flim Flam.
	This is a short clip.
	I want you just to hear it.
	Inflation Flim Flam?
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	I see it.
	Consumer prices in April were 8.3% higher than a year ago.
	That's just a shade below the 8.5% inflation rate the month before.
	Hey, isn't this supposed to mean that we've had peak inflation?
	Well, they're talking about peaking inflation, but the problem with this is kind of a flim-flam because it's year over year.
	It's not total.
	Right.
	Oh, wow, that's another bullshit statistic.
	Wow, that's good.
	So if you go year over year and you say something cost $10 a year ago, and now it's 8.5% higher this year, well, the next month from last year, it could have already gone up another few points, and so going up another 8.3 might even be higher.
	Yeah.
	So this is a flim flam.
	And then he's also got another one in here that I don't even know if he's doing half of these or he's knowledgeable enough to be able to do this.
	But listen, this is one of the few short clips.
	This is Biden on corporate tax.
	55% of the largest corporations paid net zero in federal taxes in 2020 on $40 million profits.
	That just isn't right.
	Let me just say, before you...
	Go ahead, let's talk about that and then I have something else to say about taxes.
	What's he talking about 40 million profit?
	Million or billion?
	He said million.
	What an idiot.
	Okay, the clip I really wanted...
	I'm sorry, that was actually the wrong clip.
	The clip I wanted to play is this one.
	This is Biden on profit margins.
	Oh, hold on a second.
	Biden on...
	There we go.
	That they would rather see taxes on working American families and try to depress their wages to take on inflation.
	Never mind the fact that many of these companies are recording record profit margins, even as prices, as they raise prices, records amounts.
	Record profit margins.
	What does that mean?
	What does record profit margin mean?
	It's not the same.
	If I say my sales went down to one product and the profit margin went way up on that one product, it's the only one I have.
	Record profit margin.
	It's a record.
	Record profit margin.
	It's a perfect...
	It's flim-flam.
	Yeah, it's no different than the flim-flam.
	It's no different than anything.
	And a lot of this is written by people who...
	I mean, this used to work back in the day when you just watched the CBS Evening News.
	And when it keeps getting repeated about these types of things, profit margin, you start people thinking about it.
	What is going on with this?
	But my favorite...
	Are you done with your Bidens for just this moment?
	I can't hold off.
	I only have two left.
	Yeah, because this goes into a two-clip, a two-parter that you will love.
	This was the one I liked the most.
	The food!
	How could you forget?
	Give me more hurry.
	You want us to have my crowd.
	Mega!
	Forget it.
	Forget it.
	Trust in the United States of America.
	You're not excited.
	If a single would have to wait in an hour, an hour and a half, they would have a box to food.
	Is it a song?
	Is it something I'm doing?
	Nah, it's pretty much been that way for decades, Mr. President.
	President.
	Wait a minute.
	Wasn't it since the pandemic and the shutdowns began in 2020?
	They had huge lines of people at food banks.
	Hours, hours they were in line.
	Who was president?
	Trump.
	So what's he talking about?
	Because the MAGA people were against it.
	Okay.
	The point is, it's a call to action.
	It's a call to action.
	It's a call to mac and cheese.
	It's a call to veganism.
	It encapsulates everything.
	We can't afford the food.
	We're going to use different types of food.
	We know where that leads because we have to get rid of beef and animal protein anyway because it's contributing to climate change.
	Here comes your friend and mine, Becky Worley, Tell everyone how much we love Becky Worley.
	We love Becky Worley.
	Becky is a fantastic, and she's a jokester.
	She's very pretty.
	I haven't had lunch with her for years.
	I should have lunch with her and catch up with the gossip of Good Morning America.
	She is pretty much a dude in her humor and off-camera, wouldn't you say?
	We've had dinner with her together once, I think, didn't we?
	She's pretty much a dude with her toughness.
	Her toughness, right.
	She's a tough chick.
	So she gets the following assignment from Good Morning America.
	Now to a GMA exclusive.
	Consumer Reports is revealing its top picks in meat alternatives.
	Rating choices from Beyond Burgers to Impossible Chicken Nuggets on taste and health benefits.
	Thank you, Raleigh.
	Have a look at them.
	Good morning, Becky.
	George, good morning.
	This is not your hippie aunt's veggie burger.
	Remember those black hockey pucks?
	Oh, no.
	This is a highly flavorful, plant-based burger.
	And if you didn't know, you wouldn't realize it didn't come from something that once moved, but instead came from soy and pea protein.
	I like this meat better than regular meat.
	From Kim Kardashian to Snoop Dogg.
	I didn't know I liked plant-based.
	It truly is impossible.
	Plant-based burgers are mainstream and, dare I say, cool?
	If barbecues, maybe they're lit?
	All the legendary flavor.
	And now in a GMA exclusive, Consumer Reports unveiling their picks.
	Oh, John, aren't you riveted to find out what kind of fake meat you can eat?
	Consumer Reports always gets things slightly wrong.
	I should mention this.
	When I was at PC Magazine, we used to have these labs and all these, you know, when the magazine was a big fat magazine, came out twice a month.
	And we'd have to run into Consumer Reports every so often.
	And they're always, and I've noticed this when I used to be a subscriber as a kid, when I was in college.
	And they're always missing some little point, little nuance is always missing.
	And so let's see what they do this time.
	So, Becky is a LWK, I think, right?
	Lesbian with kids?
	Yes.
	So, she's going to subject her own children in this report.
	And herself, I cannot believe that she must have a hard time with this.
	I mean, we know Becky Ward.
	She must be going, oh, brother, I have to do this crap.
	Don't you think she likes steak?
	I think she'd like a steak.
	Well, here she is.
	Is that a good pasta sauce of bolognese?
	No.
	No, she's all in now, at least for the TV show.
	According to a nationally representative survey by Consumer Reports, 53% of Americans say they want to eat less meat and more vegetables.
	Analyzing 32 different meatless products, Consumer Reports rank them based on taste and health profile.
	So we start with burgers.
	Three top contenders from Consumer Reports are Beyond, Boca, and Impossible.
	Meat substitutes, they tend to have lower saturated fat and more fiber, but that's because they're made from plant.
	And sometimes they have more added salt, and you want to be mindful of that.
	For example, the ingredients of the Impossible Burger, soy, water and nutrients, then binders to make it stick together.
	Then you add in this stuff.
	It's called heme.
	It's an irony substance that makes it look and taste like beef.
	What's heme?
	Do you know what heme is?
	Have you ever heard of this?
	No.
	That doesn't sound good.
	The Boca Burger is a little thinner than the Impossible Burger or the Beyond Burger.
	That's good.
	Oh, it's good.
	In fact, the smell is so beef-like.
	Beef-like?
	It's a plant.
	Fooled him.
	You don't like vegetables.
	Consumer Reports also rank chicken nuggets with corn and impossible nuggets, including the animal-shaped versions, taking the top spots.
	Flavor's good.
	It's got texture.
	Kids would definitely eat these.
	You want it?
	And if you're wondering...
	Now she's going to give this crap to her kid.
	You do?
	You really want it?
	You really want it?
	You like it?
	He likes it!
	And so did I. Showing Meatless truly has gone mainstream.
	It's mainstream!
	Yeah!
	Now, if you're wondering about price, the plant-based burger costs about two to three dollars more than traditional hamburger at my local grocery store.
	At the moment.
	But we eat it a lot in our house, and one of my favorites, tacos, in honor of Cinco de Mayo.
	Here is the plant-based taco, guys.
	Happy Cinco de Mayo.
	That is just...
	It's horrible!
	It's a native ad, obviously.
	Oh my goodness.
	I'm glad you brought that up.
	First, I'd like to say...
	That I've received many comments from moms who said, hey, you know, vegan kids, you know, we played a report, two reports, really.
	Vegan kids, they're okay.
	We're very aware that our vegan children need B12 in order to get the protein they don't get from animal or get the whatever they need that they don't get from animal protein.
	They don't get from plant protein.
	And so I said, well, what happens when the supply chain messes up and there's no B12 available?
	What do you give your kids?
	Do you know the answer?
	A hamburger.
	Bugs!
	Of course!
	What am I thinking?
	Yes!
	Yeah, Becky will be selling bugs to us next.
	Yes!
	Thanks, Bex.
	Tastes like poop.
	Bugs, man.
	Bugs.
	So, Native Ad.
	Holy crap.
	You played, maybe two shows ago, a Native Ad by, what was it?
	It was on NPR. It was the only one I've ever found on NPR so far.
	I'll play a little bit of it because it was exactly two minutes, which was the whole point.
	Fans of Taco Bell's Mexican pizza received good news this week.
	The food chain is bringing back the beloved menu item.
	You have the two, like, fried tortillas that are, like, kind of glued together with the beans or the meat, whatever.
	So that thing went on for two minutes with someone talking about how, like, this...
	And NPR is not supposed to do native ads.
	They're supposed to be transparent.
	No, there's no reason.
	I don't.
	You should show me some documentation that says that.
	Okay.
	That I will gladly do, because I'm quite sure it's...
	Well...
	If they don't disclose it or disclaim it, I think it's a problem.
	I don't...
	You show me documentation for that.
	I'm not going to show you documentation.
	Problem with who?
	I'm going to show...
	With me.
	I'm going to show you documentation that it was a native ad.
	Because, just one week later, on the Today Show...
	Dolly Parton from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to the Taco Bell stage.
	It's been a busy month for the Queen of Country.
	On Monday, Dolly has revealed that she's going to be joining the Mexican fast food chain's TikTok musical.
	That's right.
	To celebrate the return of the popular Mexican pizza menu item to Taco Bell.
	Taco Bell and Dolly are joining forces to put on a show.
	Rapper Doja Cat and TikToker Victor Kunda also set to appear in Mexican Pizza, the musical.
	And if that's not enough, the music is being written by Grammy-winning duo Abigail Barlow and Emily Baer.
	That's right.
	Taco Bell says it's going to be a satirical musical about the harrowing story of those who fought to bring back the Mexican pizza.
	That's funny.
	I was one of them.
	Oh, my gosh.
	In college, Mexican pizza.
	Oh, my gosh.
	So, complete, complete program.
	You were right.
	You nailed it.
	Not that we doubted it, but you nailed it.
	No, nobody doubted it because it was too obvious, especially the two-minute thing.
	But let's say a couple of things.
	First of all, Taco Bell has these experimental things that come and go from their shops when people just want a burrito, you know, the cheap bean burrito on a taco.
	But they have all these other things.
	And so the thing they've been, there's a second round of this.
	They've tried to introduce these French fries.
	They're doused with some powder and this whatever.
	I would recommend people go buy these French fries one time.
	They are the worst french fries in the world.
	They taste terrible.
	They're not cooked right.
	That powder is horrible.
	That sauce, the dipping sauce is enough to make you puke.
	It is these, they don't know what they're doing with French fries and they keep trying to sell these horrible French fries to people.
	I don't think they have room for the fryer.
	I don't know if they're baked.
	I don't know what's wrong with these things, but I tried them once when they first came out.
	Just say, okay, let me check this out so I have something to talk about.
	Unbelievable.
	Good?
	No, bad.
	They're terrible.
	I said it ten times.
	I just wanted to make sure.
	I wanted you said unbelievable.
	You said it in a way that made me question you.
	Unbelievably bad.
	Okay.
	Oh, man.
	They're mealy.
	They're like cheap potatoes.
	I don't know all that's wrong with them.
	Every imaginable thing that is wrong with these french fries is wrong.
	Maybe they took them out to market to reformulate how they're making them.
	I don't think so.
	It's a sad state of affairs.
	And it's expensive now, but it's going to be so cheap compared to real meat.
	Bug taco.
	Bug taco.
	Go with it.
	Get in early.
	Get in on your bug tacos.
	With that, I'd like to thank you for your courage in the morning to you, the man who just put the C in the cheap bean burrito, ladies and gentlemen, Mr.
	John C. Dvorak.
	In the morning to the trolls in the troll room.
	Let's see how many we have here.
	Trolls, if you don't mind, put your hands up.
	Let me do a little count on you.
	Okay, let's see.
	We got going on here.
	1830.
	We are below our mean of 2300 for Thursday.
	Up 100 from last Thursday.
	Yeah, it is better.
	It was better than it was.
	But is that year over year or is that compound?
	Year over year.
	Year over year.
	We're sailing.
	We're sailing.
	Oh man, the Troll Room is still trending.
	You can join them, trollroom.io.
	Go ahead and jump in there, troll around, listen to the show live on Thursdays and Sundays.
	Many shows are live, including Darren O'Neill's Rock and Roll pre-show, Before Every No Agenda show.
	There's usually a live show after it.
	There's 24 hours a day.
	You can learn, you can discuss, you can troll, trollroom.io.
	If you'd like, you can always follow us on our Mastodon, part of the Fediverse, which is noagendasocial.com.
	Now, we don't have accounts open if you want to be able to interact, follow, and post.
	You have to get a Mastodon account.
	There's many places you can get that.
	You can follow John C. Dvorak at noagendasocial.com, Adam at noagendasocial.com, or you can always just always look at the public timeline and see what's going on.
	But we suggest you get involved.
	It's the future of social networking as far as we're concerned.
	And a big thank you to Tantanil for the artwork for episode 1449 last Thursday's show, Sunday's show.
	We appropriately titled that, Where's Munchnuts?
	And if you don't know what that means, then you should listen to the show.
	This was a typical no-agenda pick.
	We always like to do it.
	There were many other things to choose from, but when it's a special day like Christmas or Fourth of July or Easter or Mother's Day, we like to choose something kind of non-controversial and beautiful, and that's exactly what Tantanil delivered for us.
	We appreciate that, but there were some other candidates.
	Yeah, you are a big fan of a number of the other ones, and I had to talk you into the Tantanil piece, even though you thought it was boring.
	We'll mention a few of these.
	Well, the one that I like, the one that we discuss the most...
	Was the Cupcake and a Shot by Guitar of Thrones, which was the beautiful cupcake, the balloons, and the happy birthday, and a syringe from Pfizer, and a little five balloon.
	That's the one I liked.
	I agreed with you, too.
	I thought it was a good piece.
	I just felt that we should have, since it was a Mother's Day special, as such, with a special donation, even though nobody did it.
	So I thought we had to have some Mother's Day thing, and this had no Mother's Day angle at all.
	No element, no.
	But I liked it.
	And also, I thought the reference to a five maybe would be misperceived.
	What I thought was beautiful from the artists, who purely did this for their own joy, and I think for our benefit, is the artists all started putting up Polaroids of themselves as babies with the following text.
	Dear Mama, thanks for not aborting me.
	It must have been five or six of them that did this.
	It was pretty funny.
	Yeah, so I think it started with Tantanil, and then Dame Kenny Ben followed up with one of hers.
	And then a few minutes later, the other artist saw those two, and they said, well, hell, I can do that.
	And so he ended up with one from Moose, and then Parker Pauly got in on it, and then Nessworks.
	It's unbelievable, these guys.
	The crazy thing is, the Dame Kenny band one with the picture of her, if you take off the dress, it almost looks like me when I was a kid, with that almost shoulder-length hair parted in the middle.
	If you take the dress off, it's me.
	I thought it was a picture of you, actually.
	Oh, okay.
	Thank you.
	By the way, I think the final one that came in was Biscuit on Your Birthday by Capitalist Agenda, who's the laggard who came in with the last picture.
	Here it is, man.
	Here it is.
	I mean, a lot of happy birthing person day, which I think the joke is old.
	That's maybe why we didn't really even consider it.
	With the emojis.
	They're always using the same pregnant male emoji.
	Yeah.
	Which is the whole point of the joke.
	There were other nice Mother's Day attempts, for sure.
	But it was just pretty.
	You had the flowers.
	You had everything.
	It was a bunch of...
	The entries were funny.
	There was a lot of humor, and especially those photos.
	They were all quite amusing with some little note.
	Some sort of joke.
	Some gag.
	We loved it.
	We loved it.
	It was really good.
	Thank you very much, Tantanil, and thank you to all the artists for entertaining us at the end of the day after the show.
	Noagendaartgenerator.com.
	There are people who are, in fact, refreshing this in real time while listening to the live show, to the stream.
	Because artists do this during the show, and already I see Ultra Maga things popping up, some other funny stuff that is already possibly a contender.

	Now let us thank our executive and associate executive producers for episode 1450.
	And we kick it off with Anthony Raimondo from Fresno, California.
	Delivers a cool $1,010.10.
	Cannot say we're not happy with that.
	And here's his note.
	I need some special karma.
	I'm a lawyer in California and have represented small businesses and family farms for over 20 years.
	This is fitting right in with what's going on.
	Around a decade ago, I was battling regularly with California Rural Legal Assistance, CRLA, a non-profit law firm of social justice warriors hell-bent on destroying farmers.
	About 65% of their funding comes from federal grants intended to help low-income Americans.
	Federal law prohibits these funds from being used for illegal aliens.
	I used contacts I had at ICE to verify that these lawyers were violating this law.
	I verified that their clients were undocumented and reported them to the federal agency that oversees the funding, even cooperating in an ongoing investigation.
	They were thrown off several cases.
	Ultimately, the lawyers accused me of trying to have their clients deported and sued me personally in federal court.
	A corrupt union, UFW, that I annoyed by successfully representing farm workers pro bono against them in a civil rights case, they didn't want the workers to get to vote on whether to be in the union, got the state bar after my license.
	I won a state bar trial last year, totally exonerated, but the prosecutor wouldn't let go and appealed.
	The appeal will be heard May 19th.
	Courtroom karma, please.
	I'm in the process of relocating to southern Oregon coast and would like to be Sir Anthony Knight of the Coquille River Valley.
	So he becomes a knight today, instant knight.
	Sorry for the long note.
	Don't forget to de-douche me and stay safe!
	Holy crap, what a note!
	To me, this is a long note that's a good long note.
	This is content.
	This is not just a note.
	This is information.
	This is beyond content.
	This is a scandal.
	Boots on the ground scandal report.
	Exactly.
	Here's the deduce.
	You've been deduced.
	Well, you know, whenever you're in a courtroom drama and you need some karma, you need to roll out the goat.
	You've got...
	karma.
	That'll do it.
	Sir Kevin Dills is up, Earl of North Carolina in Huntersville, North Carolina, $512.
	In the morning, this is my annual birthday donation, and this year my birthday falls on a show day.
	Nice.
	Please add me to the birthday list.
	I'll be turning 36 today, May 12th, and hence the 512 donation.
	Also, this donation brings me to the level of Duke.
	I'd like to upgrade my talent from Earl of North Carolina to Duke.
	I don't know if he's on the upgrade list or not to North Carolina.
	He sure is.
	Yeah, he sure is.
	My accounting is attached.
	Also, if it's not too much trouble, please have Adam play the Bob Dylan version of the title change song.
	That's interesting.
	I really don't like that version.
	People love it.
	Okay, of course.
	I like it too.
	Yeah, you like it better than the David Boat?
	You hate Bob Dylan.
	I don't hate Bob Dylan.
	Bobby and I, Robert and I go back a long way.
	Thanks for all you do.
	No jingles, just karma.
	Sir Kevin Deals, Earl of North Carolina, soon to become Duke of North Carolina.
	You've got karma.
	$500 and one penny from Baron Chris of Kawartha Highlands.
	Of the Kawartha Highlands in Cortese, Ontario, Scandinavia.
	Good morning, Adam and John.
	It's been far, far too long since I last donated by hope to have made up for it with today's 500 dollaretts.
	Yes, we recognize these Canadian, Australian, and New Zealand dollarets and dollary-doos at face value just because you use the term dollarets.
	It doesn't really matter.
	It's all going to be shit eventually.
	As this long period without providing back the value I get from the two of you has left me feeling particularly filthy, I request to be deduced.
	You've been deduced.
	No jingles today, but I would like some generic goat karma.
	No problem.
	Here in the province of Ontario, we're in the midst of election season with the usual suspects claiming the usual nonsense and taking the usual jabs at each other.
	It's so boring.
	Sadly, the party I'm supporting this year, the new blue party, is unlikely to win any seats, this being their first general election.
	Still, I hope that after the votes are in, things at least don't get worse for the province.
	we are suffering enough with two dollar per liter of gasoline uh equivalent five dollars and 84 cents u.s dollar on the covid front things seem to be slowly returning to some semblance of normalcy around these parts certainly i still see people wearing masks out on the street either out of continued terrorism by the m5m or as plumage to seek seek out far left mates plumage yes the Mask plumage.
	I like that.
	But most only wear them now where they are still mandates in place, i.e.
	hospitals and public transit.
	At this rate, the Toronto area should be mask-free in another year or two.
	Wishing you both the best.
	Keep our amygdala shrunk.
	Baron Chris of the Kawartha Highlands, Knight of the Rare Encounter, Cortese, Goat Karma, by request.
	You've got...
	Karma.
	Next on the list is Michael Kinney, but he was in the last show, and there's no note from him.
	Wait a minute.
	Unless you have one.
	I have...
	What do I have here?
	Yes, this is a make-do, I believe.
	Well, yes, Michael Kinney, he said...
	Let me just make sure this is the right amount.
	What's the amount?
	3-3-5-0-8?
	Yes.
	Adam just did a PayPal donation for 3-3-5-0-8, a switcheroo for my reason for being.
	Becky Kinney for Mother's Day.
	Kinney is pronounced with a hard C like Chianti.
	Please give her some karma and some Al Sharpton.
	So, we will do the switcheroo for today.
	He emailed me about this and I said, hey man, do you want us to do a make good?
	And we know what he said.
	He said, no, no, no.
	I'll just donate again.
	I love him.
	Good man.
	Yeah.
	R-E-S-T-I-C-T. You've got karma.
	So we change that to Becky Kinney.
	Becky.
	Becky.
	So the next one is interesting.
	This is Michael, I'm sorry, Jim Birkenstadt in Madison, Wisconsin.
	He was a writer.
	$335.
	And he sent a note in.
	He sent it.
	Did you get your copy of the book?
	Oh, yes.
	The Rock and Roll Detective.
	I did.
	That's a really nice book.
	I got my copy too, but I should mention something that I think he's unaware of.
	I think he sent me his copy.
	His personal copy.
	Because the entire book is marked up.
	It's scribbled in.
	It's got underlining every single page.
	Collector's item!
	I guess.
	Collector's item!
	Yes!
	Every single page is dog-eared and he's got a yellow marker and then he uses a pink highlighter for some reason at the middle of the book.
	I wonder if it's different from mine.
	I doubt it.
	I have a pristine copy, although he did write a nice dedication in the front for me.
	Yeah, I insist that he do that.
	Of course you do.
	But you got something even more special.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, I do.
	But I thought it might be something he wanted to keep.
	Under separate cover, I'm saying, okay, I'm enclosing my donation to executive producer of Mount 335.
	I'm sending, he's got these books.
	I sent them out.
	And the book is called Mysteries in the Music.
	Case closed.
	And he goes in.
	This is a very good book.
	You should check it.
	People should, if you can get it.
	Tina immediately went, oh, I want to read that.
	Gone.
	Well, it's got all these stories that are half-baked stories in rock and roll history that have never been concluded, and he's written a number of books, and his main thing is, I think he's a former lawyer or something.
	He's an interesting guy.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, he said, I recently discovered your great podcast, and I love it.
	It took only one episode to become addicted.
	Yeah.
	I am known as the rock and roll detective.
	I have spent decades deconstructing and solving the myths, legends, and mysteries and conspiracies in rock and roll history.
	My new best-selling book is called Mysteries in the Music Case Closed.
	Travel back to the 50s to uncover who really discovered Elvis Presley.
	And that's a good story, too.
	That's a good story.
	We visit the 1976 Jamaica to learn whether the CIA tried to kill Bob Marley.
	Totally, totally believe that.
	Discover whether the Beach Boys actually stole a song from cult leader Charles Manson.
	Helter Skelter?
	That was the Beatles.
	I don't know.
	What did they steal?
	I don't know.
	I haven't gotten to that part of the book.
	It's in the book.
	Yeah.
	Dig into the FBI classified FOIA records to determine what they failed to learn in their witch hunt into the alleged obscenity of the song Louie Louie.
	Ha ha!
	Don't you have the entire collection of every version of Louie Louie?
	I'm always on the lookout for other versions.
	I have about 40.
	And I got this idea I will mention.
	I used to work at this radio station in college called KFJC. And one day I'm listening to it, and I have it on my radio still, because it's a good station.
	And it's a college station.
	And one day some guy played Louie Louie, one hours of Louie Louie's, and all these different Louie Louie's.
	I said, hell, I'm going to start collecting Louie Louie.
	And so I've started collecting them too.
	So I've got about 40.
	KFJC, and you were on air?
	Yeah.
	JCD here on KFJC. You put the JC and then KFJC gets for JCD. I was on air and doing radio plays.
	I wasn't a DJ. Did you announce the radio play?
	No, we wrote these radio plays and we produced them.
	Many were an hour or more long.
	Yeah, we need to put those on no agenda stream.
	You know, the best one I had, I had this thing called War of the Worlds Revisited.
	And it was played two or three times over the years, and I lost my copy.
	Oh, that's horrible.
	Anyone alive who still might have one?
	I don't think so.
	Anyway, that was my best one.
	I did a couple, but that was the one I liked doing.
	It was the best one.
	Anyway, he goes on.
	There are many more stories.
	He goes on and on.
	Signed copies are free, available at musicmysterybook.com.
	Musicmysterybook.com.
	He still consults with the Apple Records, Roy Orbison, the State of George Harrison, and others.
	His ex-skills as an ex-trial attorney.
	Always good to have in the family.
	Yeah.
	So anyway.
	It was very nice.
	And I would also say, well produced.
	I mean, I got the book.
	I got the book right before this show.
	And you got the book.
	You got a special book.
	And we got the donation.
	And we got the...
	It could not get any better.
	Good job, sir.
	Rock and roll detective.
	Rock and roll detective.
	We go on to our next executive producer, Zachary Stockstill from Odessa, Texas, 334.
	In the morning, gents, he writes, Thanks to Adam for answering my questions on Twitter about how to send a note.
	I know I've heard it before, but somehow didn't hear it in the last two episodes.
	Send it to john at dvorak.org or adam at curry.com or notes at noagendashow.net or just write it in the PayPal message, which is kind of the idea.
	This is my second donation, but my first had no notes, so I still need to be de-douched if you'd be so kind.
	You've been de-douched.
	I need one more donation of 333 to complete my trip to the roundtable this month.
	We all know Cincinnati-style chili takes a while to make, so no rush.
	It needs to be just right for the roundtable.
	This is a great way to celebrate my Army retirement and having my first real job in 20 years.
	Thanks for everything, he says.
	Soon to be Sir Greasemonkey of the West Texas oil fields.
	You bet.
	Looking forward to it.
	Now, did he want Cincinnati-style chili at the round table?
	Or is that still pending?
	I think so.
	I think that's what he'd want.
	Have you ever had Cincinnati-style chili?
	I have not.
	Cincinnati chili is usually served over spaghetti.
	And it has a distinction of tasting kind of like chili, except it's over spaghetti.
	But it's heavily influenced by the taste of cloves.
	Well, we appreciate it.
	And indeed, he is on the list.
	He's on the list.
	Arthur Sundry, 3333.33 from Riverside, Illinois.
	No note, I couldn't find one.
	Did you find anything from Arthur?
	Nope, I've got nothing from him.
	Okay.
	I'll go on.
	I'll go on with Robert Donaghy.
	Hey, Donaghy.
	Donaghy!
	Donaghy!
	And Novelty, Ohio.
	333.33.
	Forgive me, Podfather, I've sinned.
	Thus I must atone.
	I forgot to give birthday shout-out to my girlfriend.
	Gronk!
	Hey, Gronk!
	Who turned 33 on Sanco de Mayo.
	Apparently a kitchen mixer doesn't mean jack compared to Noah.
	I think the bread maker is better than a Noah producership, but the mixer, no, bro, that's way too low.
	Yeah, it doesn't mean jack compared to no agenda.
	Just karma, please.
	Got it, man.
	Happy birthday, gronk!
	Sir Craig Porter, the Ronin, November 7, Fox, Sierra, November, Carlsblatt, California, 333.33.73 is Kilo 5 Alpha Charlie Charlie.
	If you're new to the show, you're confused.
	In the morning, John and Adam, may I please have some starting flying lessons with the goal of getting an ATP license, Karma?
	ATP is Airline Transport Pilots.
	I'm 42, and although the cards are stacked a bit against me at this age, I really need a career change.
	73s.
	Dude, I think that's a great choice.
	But don't go to the big airlines.
	There's going to be an enormous, small, regional, semi-private aviation system that's going to be set up.
	It's coming.
	You get some karma for that.
	You've got karma.
	Jordan Olson from Bellevue, Nebraska comes in with 333.
	In the morning, fam, I'd like to give a huge shout out to my smoking hot boss, Sir Pasty.
	Tell me I'm wrong.
	It's also my birthday on Saturday.
	Can I get a biscuit with some ants?
	Thank you for all the hard work you do.
	Ants.
	Let me see.
	I got the reason.
	Oops, sorry.
	Hey, that's not supposed to happen.
	I didn't get the ants for some reason.
	Sorry about this.
	Here we go.
	They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
	That's for your birthday, and we'll give you a little bit of ants, and we'll wind it up with the karma.
	I got ants.
	I got ants.
	You've got karma.
	Pierre.
	Pierre.
	Just Pierre.
	He's from France as far as I know, but no.
	Pierre is from Farmington, Connecticut.
	And Pierre writes with a 333 donation.
	Bonjour!
	You have beautiful hair!
	Oh, it is Pierre!
	It's actually Pierre, John.
	It's Pierre.
	It's the hairdresser to the store.
	Coiffure.
	Coiffure du stars.
	Yes.
	Oh my goodness.
	So nice to meet you in person.
	Bonjour.
	You have beautiful hair.
	Recently, your deliverables have been in alignment with the industry's best practices and telling the story of the news journey.
	Going forward, I'll reach out and circle back with you when I'm ready to hand off my next donation.
	I'd like to call up my next door neighbor's brother, Pepe, as a douchebag.
	Douchebag.
	Give me some caramel with Hot Pockets, Amen, Fistbump, Bingo, Boom, Shakalaka Remix.
	This is Pierre from Farmington Valley, Connecticut.
	Hot Pockets, Amen, Fistbump.
	You've got karma.
	Todd Trotman comes in from Austin, Texas, just down the street from where you used to live.
	$300.
	And he only says one thing.
	John's Substack content is fantastic.
	Thank you, Todd.
	That's from the Oasis, and you just published a new one, I believe?
	Yes, I did on cameras.
	I did.
	It's on cameras in school rooms.
	In the classroom, yeah.
	In the classroom.
	Why they should be there.
	And I would, anyone who got to read this thing, send a copy to Mark Levin, the great one.
	Mark Levin!
	Send a copy to him because he's the classroom camera guy and he hasn't been talking about it much recently.
	Oh.
	And maybe he'll read it on the air and I'll get my numbers up.
	Okay.
	We'll work on that.
	We're into the associate executive producer list.
	Almost done.
	Bonnie Ray is in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
	$2.50.25.
	Thank you, Bonnie Ray, who says, Bonnie Ray here.
	First donation.
	Please de-douche me.
	You've been de-douched.
	And she continues, I'm here to hit my big brother Bobby, a.k.a.
	Sir Chakwee.
	In the mouth for his 25th birthday.
	Thank you for introducing me to the best podcast in the universe.
	Happy birthday jingle, please.
	When we do the...
	He's on the list, so we'll do it there, but traditionally, this is your happy birthday jingle.
	They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
	No, he's got himself a biscuit.
	A biscuit on his birthday.
	That's very popular.
	It's very popular.
	Kyle Derby McInnes...
	McInnes.
	Probably McInnes.
	McInnes.
	In Calgary, Alberta.
	222.22.
	Home of the Stampede.
	I've been listening for the last year.
	Big fan of the greatest podcast in the universe.
	I recently got 25% raise at work.
	And I credit to the show's unflinching ability to keep me motivated and energized throughout the week.
	I appreciate you both.
	Boom.
	Very nice.
	Ray Diazio is in Fishers, Indiana.
	Row of ducks, 222.22.
	In the morning, gents, yesterday I returned a few items and a row of ducks was the total due back.
	I swear I could hear John's haunting donate coming over the PA. Donate!
	Donate!
	This raft is therefore now yours.
	Just a dedouching, please.
	Oh, that's all.
	That's easy.
	You've been dedouched.
	Thank you, Ryan D'Asio.
	Yeah, Tommy, Sir Tommy Hawk of the Heartland comes in with 222, parts unknown.
	That's what I can tell.
	Heartland, where are you from?
	R2D, two karma for all, please.
	Dear The Management.
	It's possible this donation will not reach you in time, as the new Showtime is clearly toying with the balance in the universe.
	I'm rolling the dice that there will still be plenty of BS news to deconstruct, and I'm grateful you are here to do so.
	Thank you for your courage.
	Sir Tommy Hawk of the Heartland.
	That's interesting.
	His handwriting is actually quite pretty for a dude.
	He has nice cursive, very readable.
	Normally it's the women that have...
	I mean, it's sloppy, but it's not.
	You didn't notice that?
	No, it looks kind of like my writing.
	It's kind of sloppy.
	It's not as easy to read as you'd think.
	For example, the it's at the beginning looks like...
	Yeah, it looks like his or tits.
	It could be M, Y. It could be a lot of...
	It could be a lot of things.
	Well, for sure we've got the R2-D2 Karma for you, sir.
	You've got...
	Karma.
	And then we have Trish Petret, or Petrat, depending on how you want to pronounce it.
	It looks like Petrat, yeah.
	It does look like Petrat.
	You spell it P-E-T-R-A-T, Petrat, Petret.
	And she's from Brighton, Michigan.
	In the morning, John and Adam, since the ACLU has done absolutely nothing to protect the rights of Americans regarding VAX mandates, among other things they ignore, I'm sending you my ACLU donation with extra thrown in.
	More, you deserve more than that, but this is what I got.
	Put it to good use producing the best podcast in the universe.
	Keeping with tradition, a bit of lingo.
	What is this?
	Is this a 70s lingo?
	A bit of N.A. lingo.
	Holy moly?
	Oh, this is no agenda lingo, I guess.
	No, holy moly, I say that.
	Nutball, maybe.
	Dipshit, yeah.
	Well, golly.
	Do you say that?
	That's you.
	Cahoots?
	I might say that.
	The wiseacre is you.
	Rolodex.
	Rolodex.
	Gloomy Gus.
	Gloomy Gus.
	Yeah, I think I said Gloomy Gus.
	I called you that once.
	But Rolodex is interesting because she's maybe right.
	Explain.
	At some point, you wouldn't even think to notice it.
	But why would a millennial know what the hell a Rolodex is?
	Right.
	And I'll explain.
	A Rolodex is actually an address book that is a circle that you roll it to get to the A, B, C, D. It's a very handy device.
	It was a bestseller.
	It flips over.
	In the 50s and 60s.
	You can pull the cards out.
	Little cards.
	They're very special cards.
	Yeah, well, you know, yes.
	Why would millennials know about Rolodex?
	No, they wouldn't.
	But they still click on the little floppy disk icon to save something.
	And there's still a clipboard.
	There are lots of movement away from that to the down arrow with a pit or a hole or something, the down meaning download.
	Oh, I don't like that.
	With a hole?
	Well, it's like a bracket on its side where the arrow points down and that's where it's going.
	It's going down!
	Going down, man!
	So what are we doing with the download then?
	Isn't download a down arrow?
	That's what I'm talking about.
	Download to the disc.
	It's downloading to the disc.
	That's my wrestler voice.
	Yeah, I'm liking it.
	It's not sustainable, I should mention.
	No, not really.
	Well, that's it for our executive and associate executive producers.
	A very nice list.
	Perfectly balanced donations, as if you all coordinated with your notes and jingles.
	Thank you very much.
	We love to hand out the official titles for all of these producers, and they are.
	You are now an executive producer or an associate executive producer of No Agenda Show episode 1450.
	And you can use these anywhere.
	And it's all part of the value for value model.
	You determine how much you value the show at.
	No one else can do that but you, depending on your own personal situation.
	And these people are loved for what they're doing.
	And what we give back is, well, as you see, when you get to $1,000, you get Night Ring and you join the roundtable.
	But the credits, people really like those and they keep them in their social media profiles.
	They post it in their resume, LinkedIn, and, of course, IMDb, which you can start an IMDb account with this credit going on.
	Go ahead and look around.
	You'll see other big Hollywood people have these as well.
	If you'd like to be an executive or associate executive producer or just a regular producer who we'll be thanking in the second segment, here's where you go.
	Thank you again for producing episode 1450 of the No Agenda Show.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Amen.
	Shut up, slave.
	Shut up, slave.
	I should get my two extra Biden clips out of the way so we can...
	We had...
	Okay, here's a follow-up on Biden on inflation via the corporate tax.
	And again...
	It's silly.
	Just try to follow the logic of this.
	You want to bring down inflation?
	Let's make sure the wealthiest corporations pay their fair share.
	My plan?
	Ask those companies to pay their fair share in taxes.
	Congressional Republican plan?
	Let them off scot-free.
	Okay, let's look at the logic of this.
	You want to bring down inflation?
	Make corporations pay more money.
	More taxes.
	So what are they going to do?
	The corporations do what they always do.
	They pass the taxes on to the consumer, which jacks up the price more.
	Yeah.
	How does this lower inflation?
	What is the logic?
	I'm asking you.
	No, there's no logic.
	This is just to give people some fodder to talk about.
	And it's not logic.
	It's politics.
	It's like, oh my God!
	Oh my God!
	Mega, mega.
	So here's the last clip, and this is where one of the reporters...
	Can I just ask you a question about this for a second?
	Sure.
	About the taxation specifically?
	As we predicted, it now appears to have happened.
	The Internal Revenue Service, it's the people who don't actually collect the money, but the people who tell you how much you've got to pay and come after you with guns and garnish your wages and make your life a living hell...
	They have indeed destroyed an estimated 30 million tax returns because of its inability to process its backlog.
	Now, we knew this was going to happen.
	This was rumored for a while and even all the accounting firms are talking about it.
	They're just going to cut loose and they're just going to let it all go.
	Now, these are paper submissions.
	The only people who put paper in are people who typically earn a lot of money.
	I would say $100,000 plus.
	You can't even do an online filing, I don't think, above a certain amount.
	They request that you send it in, the printed copy.
	How many people do you think, rich people, are getting a great break by this taking place?
	Because you think, oh, IRS is just the little people.
	Uh-uh.
	I think that this, this particular move right here, that is unbelievable what's going on.
	I'm guessing that the majority of those people who have these things just tossed are big-time Democrats.
	And maybe they were selective.
	You know, who knows?
	I'm thinking they were, yeah, I'm thinking exactly that.
	And I'm taking this back to that situation back in the Lerner days when she was running the access.
	That's the origin of the dude's name Ben.
	Yeah, that's right.
	That's where the dude named Ben came from.
	The dude named Ben.
	We should play that clip again for the people who just started listening recently.
	Here it is.
	This is Chaffetz.
	Chaffetz, no longer in government.
	Congressman.
	And he was questioning, I guess then, the director of the Internal Revenue Service about these...
	What was it?
	Was it things getting deleted or destroyed?
	No, they were putting the screws to non-profits that were Republicans.
	Right, but then how did it come down to...
	It was something about...
	She said, I don't know what happened to it.
	Some requests or some paperwork.
	Yeah, and some dude from IT. Anybody in the IT arena?
	I didn't actually interact directly with people in the IT arena.
	There was somebody whose name was...
	I can't even remember his last name.
	I think his first name may have been Ben.
	A guy named Ben.
	A dude named Ben.
	Who else?
	That's who you are if you're in IT. You're a dude named Ben.
	You're a dude named Ben.
	And that's where it began.
	And this was something, I don't know, eight years ago or longer.
	The date on this is...
	It was during the Obama administration.
	It's...
	Yeah, this is the redux, so I'm not...
	We revisited this in 2018, and the original...
	My goodness.
	The original comes from, I think, 2015.
	And then we have this.
	Everyone's crazy about a dude named Ben.
	We have the best clips and producers.
	Alright, this is the last Biden clip, and this is one where you have a wiseacre, I'll use that word, a wiseacre reporter who will probably be banned from being in any one of these...
	That's a good word, Wiseacre.
	Isn't that also kind of a 70s word, Wiseacre?
	No, I think it goes into the 30s or something.
	I think it's really old.
	So, it's like Weisenheimer.
	That's another one.
	So, some Wiseacre who's...
	And he doesn't go after him like he used to.
	That's interesting.
	But he still has to roll his eyes over this guy coming in with this question.
	And this is at the very end of the press conference where you have a walkaway Joe situation at the end with people yelling at him, which is always amusing.
	But here we go.
	I called out Rick Scott a little while ago in your remarks.
	Earlier today, anticipating your remarks, he said, and I'm just quoting here, that the best thing, most effective thing Joe Biden can do to solve the inflation crisis he created is resign.
	He's the problem.
	The senator added later, Joe Biden is unwell, he's unfit for office, he's incoherent, incapacitated, and confused.
	These are his words, offering him a chance to respond.
	I think the man has a problem.
	Will you drop former President Trump's China tariffs?
	We're discussing that right now.
	We're looking at what would have the most positive impact.
	No, I didn't say that.
	I'm asking.
	I'm telling you, we're discussing it.
	No decision has been made on it.
	Mr.
	President, how long should Americans be prepared to pay this much at the pump?
	Are you concerned about a recession, Mr.
	President?
	Let's move out!
	Alright, let's move out!
	Jeez.
	He took it out on the next guy.
	He kind of groused at him a little bit, but the first guy who gave that question about you unfit for office, you should resign.
	That's pretty cool.
	I like that.
	Just keep that going.
	That's good.
	Well, let's talk about resigning, resetting, great resetting.
	There's a number of things taking place which are quite concerning.
	Maybe we should look at, just in general, certainly the United States.
	Here's what I'm seeing.
	It's taking place.
	Jobs are going to start drying up.
	I've seen it.
	I don't know what you've seen in California, but everything I've heard in New York as well.
	The marketing budgets are done.
	People are drastically cutting back on marketing and advertising budgets, which is, I mean, there are, and this is how I know because I used to be in the business, there are advertising and marketing firms that are firing people.
	A lot of them, like 30% cuts.
	I think that's going to run right into people wanting to have jobs after they had great resignation.
	Hey man, I want to be a new collar worker.
	Have you heard this term?
	The new collar worker?
	No, but that's a show title.
	Yes, you have the white-collar worker, you have the blue-collar worker, and then you have the new-collar worker.
	Well, there's also a green-collar worker.
	And what is the green-collar worker?
	There's anyone who works in the environment, forest service.
	Rat poop inspectors, okay.
	And I don't know, that's probably a brown-collar.
	So the new caller is people who work remotely.
	And, you know, we're seeing a lot of people saying, I'm really productive this way.
	Apple just lost one of their top executives in the artificial intelligence realm.
	He said, I'm not going back to that spaceship.
	So then we have another problem, which is the supply chains.
	The infant formula is interesting.
	In the United States, there's story after story, mainly from Fox News, but it sounds true.
	I'm getting messages from people that there's problems getting formula for babies in America.
	I want you to continue this, but play this clip.
	This is Nora, not Fox News.
	Nora says, all right on baby foam.
	Tonight, amid a nationwide shortage of baby formula, a major supplier says it could be back online within two weeks, but it could take up to ten weeks for the formula to hit store shelves.
	Abbott Nutrition, which makes several brands of formula, says if the FDA signs off, its plant in Sturgis, Michigan, could soon resume making Elecare and Alimentum and Similac and other formulas to follow.
	Supplies are running low in more than half the country.
	So, of course, we have a lot of moms who are producers of the No Agenda show.
	Amy wrote in, Adam, I haven't listened to yesterday, so this is early in the week.
	I'm going to let you slide on this one, Amy, because usually when someone says, I'm surprised you haven't done this yet, that's usually a reason for delete.
	I'll take it from you.
	I'm stunned.
	I'm stunned.
	I'm shocked you guys haven't talked about the baby formula shortage yet.
	Apparently, it's due to a combination of supply chain issues and there was a Similac formula recall.
	There you go.
	However, interestingly, there does not appear to be any issue with formula availability in Canada or Europe.
	I learned this info anecdotally through a new mom's forum.
	Oh, yeah.
	The new mom's friends, they're online.
	This is a very important, great support system.
	My sisters had mom friends in a forum.
	This is a great thing for moms.
	I'm on the Moms Forum, and there were moms in both Canada and the UK reporting they had zero issues obtaining formula, and some even kindly offered to ship formula here.
	Moms throughout the US were reporting visiting multiple stores and the shelves were empty.
	I've also experienced that here in Southern Oregon.
	So, this does come with a coincidence.
	I mean, it's amazing how these things happen, but this...
	This news article crossed the transom.
	And Bill Gates has invested in a company that says lab-produced breast milk will be only about three years away.
	Human milk produced in a lab by Bill Gates' back company may be available in three to five years.
	Bio-milk.
	I wonder what else he puts in that milk.
	Bio-milk.
	B-I-O-M-I-L-Q. Biomilk.
	What are you, turning these kids into QAnon?
	Bill?
	It's always these little coincidences.
	I don't know the extent of his investment.
	It may be very small, but it's always fun to implicate him.
	And he has COVID. By the way, he has COVID. Did you hear that he has COVID? Yes, he does.
	He has COVID. I don't think I have the story in here, but the entire, with few exceptions, almost everybody who went to the White House correspondence.
	Yes, he wrote about that.
	Yes, they got it in the newsletter.
	They all have COVID, which to me is hilarious because Biden made a big fuss about them all being double-vaxxed and boosted because if you weren't double-vaxxed and boosted, you couldn't get in.
	And they all got sick.
	So here's his tweet, which is very similar to ones we've seen from other elites.
	It's an elite tweet.
	I've tested positive for COVID. I'm experiencing mild symptoms.
	And I'm following the expert's advice by isolating until I'm healthy again.
	I'm fortunate to be vaccinated and boosted and have access to testing and great medical care.
	Shut up.
	My wife who got the latest version of COVID. Is she still suffering?
	Is she better now?
	She's better, but she's not over it.
	And she's on all these forums, like, you know, the mom's forum.
	I don't think she's on that.
	But she's on, you know, women are on these things.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Chicks.
	Chicks only.
	Chicks.
	Chicks, man.
	So...
	She says that other people have it, and she's compared notes, and she says her symptoms are no different than someone who has it who has been double-vaxxed and boosted.
	No different, none at all.
	No difference at all.
	But if she goes to the hospital, you'll know the difference.
	But Bill Gates, oh yeah.
	Sure.
	Kind of looping back to supply chain, Now, in earlier clips, you heard President Biden's promise to the farmers is he wants them to do triple crops this year and is going to fund that, which most farmers that I've heard is like, I don't know how good we're going to do because there's going to be a shortage.
	So they're trying to, you know, after the soybean harvest, immediately ram some wheat in there, see if that works.
	And just in case it doesn't, he's going to give them all insurance.
	Approaching financial ruin, they'll get some insurance stipend or something like that.
	We have a note from a 29-year-old dairy farmer in Ontario, Canada.
	And with all the talk of inflation and manufactured food shortages, manufactured, no, he says that.
	I want to pass along some information.
	This is Jeremy.
	Our government in Scandinavia has placed a 35% tariff on fertilizer imported from Russia.
	First of all, that's mind-blowing.
	So it's already hard to get anything from Russia, and the Canadian government puts a 35% tax on it.
	Interesting.
	However, we actually import about 55% of certain fertilizers from Russia.
	Sounds like a disaster.
	Most farms, as we do...
	Well, a disaster for the consumer who has to pick up this tab.
	Oh, it gets better.
	I mean, you know, this gets passed along.
	Gets better.
	Most farms, as we do, pre-order our fertilizer in the winter, so we pre-pay, so the orders had been placed, the money had been sent to Russia, and the fertilizer was on a barge.
	When this fertilizer got to Canada, the sanctions had been placed for customs to allow the unload of this fertilizer.
	The dealers had to pony up the 35% tariff to get the fertilizer off the ship.
	The money had already been sent to Russia, so the tariff on this fertilizer only negatively affects our country's food supply.
	Those tariffs get passed on to the farmer.
	And you guess, of course, they have to get passed on to the consumer.
	Not only are we paying almost exactly double as we paid last year, and we now add an extra 10% on top of that.
	It's unbelievable.
	Our leaders.
	No, this is great reset.
	This is purposeful.
	There's no other way you can see this.
	People are not that stupid.
	It has to be part of...
	Well, let's listen to a most recent interview with the man of the hour, Klaus Schwab, to tell us more.
	So, the Forum is becoming now...
	He's talking about the World Economic Forum.
	Just so you know, it's really advanced.
	It's really in a good place.
	It's really positioned to take the world and global governance into the next chapter.
	So, the Forum...
	It's becoming now, if I look at the future and our role in the global governance system, we will concentrate much more on systems design for the future.
	Like Singapore is doing so on a more national level, we are doing it on a global level.
	So we have defined 15 key systems for the world.
	For example, shaping the future of digital industries, shaping the future of the financial and monetary system.
	Shaping the future of health system, shaping the future of socially inclusive countries, shaping the future of education, and I could go on and on to enumerate the form.
	But the second, let's say, approach we are taking, what is missing in the world, is, and how we position the forum, is to be actually the software architecture.
	We have those 50 initiatives, but to allow other organizations, and we had, for example, preliminary discussions now with the World Bank, OECD, and so on, to allow other organizations to put their own projects on our platform to create a much better cooperation.
	And for this reason, you may be interested, we even have our own team developing artificial intelligence.
	Because when you look at global cooperation to make a final remark, it's completely outdated.
	How does it function?
	It functions in a very analog way.
	You have meetings, then you create commissions, you have reports, then after a year you have again a meeting.
	That's ridiculous in the digital age, because the digital age allows us to supplement, let's say, the meetings which you absolutely need to create an atmosphere of confidence.
	Supplementing your meetings with artificial intelligence?
	Mm-hmm.
	I don't know.
	The guy's a maniac.
	I don't know why you pay so much attention to him.
	I pay a lot of attention because of the vast number of bankers who were involved in the World Economic Forum.
	These are not just drinking clubs.
	These are people who, right off the top, changed the financial system, the global financial system.
	You cannot argue that that hasn't started to happen with Russia being kicked out of SWIFT. There's lots of shifts and moves being made.
	What is the...
	I mean, I had to turn off DHM Plugged.
	Because all it was is like everything is down.
	Everything is down 70%.
	Everything is crashing.
	We're not calling it a crash, of course.
	But Apple, Apple, 20% down yesterday.
	This is the reset.
	It's called the market fluctuation.
	It happens all the time.
	Okay.
	All right, good.
	Well, a lot of people have not seen this market fluctuation in their lives.
	No, this is the point we make.
	There is an entire generation of investors, millennials specifically, that have never seen a real bear market.
	They've just never seen one.
	They've seen these downturns.
	They've seen these great recessions.
	They've seen these ups and downs.
	They've seen all kinds of stuff.
	But they have not seen a genuine...
	Bear market where things just never go up.
	Well, they're about to witness it, but this time it's a little different, John.
	It's a little different with the amount of money that has been created or saved.
	Or saved.
	It's a little different, but okay.
	That guy's...
	The guy's a socialist, and once it comes out that this guy's, unless they get the, they still haven't got enough people to buy into the socialist bullcrop.
	What are you talking about?
	Everyone's all in on it.
	You're not.
	How's everyone, what are you, not in everyone?
	I'm not important.
	I'm almost 60.
	I don't count anymore.
	See, you're still pronouncing it correctly.
	That shows that you've got something going on.
	Pronouncing what correctly?
	Important.
	You didn't say important.
	Alright, here is...
	Once you start saying that, then I'll start believing these concepts.
	Okay.
	Enjoy being broke.
	Because California...
	And you know what?
	Enjoy death in California, okay?
	Just enjoy dying at the hands of these freaks.
	Good Thursday morning, everyone.
	We begin with that fire emergency overnight in Southern California.
	A brush fire quickly spreading, tearing through a neighborhood.
	The latest evidence of the toll the climate crisis is taking across the West.
	Climate crisis, John.
	That's the World Economic Forum telling you, you, you're going to die in California.
	Oh, what?
	Fire?
	Fire?
	Who needs fire?
	We got water.
	We got no water.
	This morning, the surprising news from California.
	Despite the historic drought, the state is using more water, not less.
	Water usage rose 19% in March compared to the same period in 2020.
	And now, unprecedented new water restrictions are being imposed.
	Affecting 4 million people in Southern California, where beginning next month, outdoor watering will be limited to two days per week.
	We're three years into a major drought.
	And the first three months of this year were the driest ever recorded in California.
	And the California Senate is going one step further, passing a bill to limit indoor water usage.
	Right now, the state standard for daily indoor usage is 55 gallons per person.
	But under the bill passed by the Senate, that would be lower to 42 gallons in the coming years.
	How much more pain do you want to take?
	That's coming from these a-holes.
	You know, there's just a big scandal going on right now in California news.
	They don't play it nationally.
	But it was Gavin Newsom that cut 50% of the fire prevention budget.
	Yeah.
	Of course.
	So you can have these fires and then blame them on global warming.
	Is Gavin Newsom a young global leader of the World Economic Forum?
	I would think so.
	No, he is.
	He is.
	Now, this is not just your problem.
	We have problems, too.
	They almost had to start shutting down the grid in Houston two days ago as prices went up to thousands of dollars per kilowatt hour only in Houston.
	And there's a reason for it.
	And this message is being propagated everywhere for this summer.
	Get ready for it.
	Also in California, your power is going to get shut down.
	Of course, I have a whole house generator.
	Electric grid operators all across the country warning of potential blackouts this summer.
	Oh no.
	Jeff Flock outside a nuclear plant actually in Pennsylvania.
	All right, what's the problem, Jeff?
	Shutting down too many plants, nuke plants and coal-fired plants.
	Take a look at the numbers on specifically coal-fired plants.
	In the next six years, across 14 states, we will shut down 80 coal-fired plants.
	And people say...
	We don't have enough new generation coming online to replace it.
	We talked to Dan Turner, who runs an organization called Power the Future.
	He says the answer to this crisis is simple.
	Any plans to remove nuclear plants or coal-powered plants or natural gas plants that are slated to be closed, that has to be completely suspended.
	And secondly, many coal plants and nuclear plants can come back online.
	They've maybe been turned off and decommissioned, but they haven't been torn down.
	I mean, this is the whole Great Reset plan.
	Europe, man, I'm desperately trying to get my kid to understand she needs to leave Europe.
	It's going to be horrible.
	And it's all based on lies and removing the best source for natural gas.
	And what's the good news?
	The good news is there was a prize winner for a documentary about free speech that was asked to speak in the European Parliament.
	I don't have all the details on this person, but this person was introduced, and of course you need a round of applause for someone who produces such a fabulous piece of documentary about free speech.
	The introduction is in German and then you will hear this person speak.
	One minute, a shout for everyone in the way of revolution.
	Yes.
	That was the entire acceptance speech.
	People have lost their minds.
	So is that somebody, a protege of Yoko Ono that won the award?
	I think it's someone who looked at the liberal in the green hat.
	You know, the classic.
	When Trump got elected.
	The liberal in the green hat.
	Yeah, the one who's the meme on her knees.
	Oh, she's wearing a green jacket and she's wearing a Meg hat.
	A Meg hat, okay.
	Well, that's the one.
	I think that's...
	No, she's always screaming.
	She's screaming now.
	Okay.
	Here's a little piece of news.
	I don't know why, but the mainstream didn't really play this up too much.
	And I'm not absolutely sure why, but let's play it so we at least have it in our...
	Oh, can I guess which one?
	Can I just pick a random clip and guess this is what you're going to talk about?
	Okay.
	Now to the Philippines.
	Was that it?
	Yep.
	Oh, wow!
	Now to the Philippines, where the son of former dictator Ferdinand Marcos appears to have locked up the presidential election.
	With 97% of the ballots counted, Marcos won more than 30 million votes.
	The closest contender, the current vice president, has about 15 million.
	Boxing legend and Christian Senator Manny Pacquiao has the third highest total with three and a half million protesters marched in Manila denouncing the unofficial results.
	One leader said they're outraged over a political system that would allow the heir of an exiled dictator to become president.
	Yeah, this is a, I mean, I don't think anyone really covered this much.
	No, not much.
	Why is his name Bong Bong?
	I still haven't figured that out.
	His name is Bong Bong Marcos.
	I have no idea.
	Is that like Bunga Bunga parties?
	Bunga Bunga.
	Bunga Bunga.
	Bunga Bunga parties?
	Very weird.
	But, I mean...
	It's...
	He looks like his dad, too, is what's interesting about it.
	Maybe a little, just quick history for those who don't understand the Marcos background?
	Yeah, some time ago, they elected president of this guy, Ferdinand Marcos, who became something of a dictator.
	And he stole the country blind, just basically sent billions and billions of dollars overseas.
	And then after they found out he was just ripping everyone off, instead of tanging him, they kind of just kicked him out of the country.
	And then his wife took over, Imelda Marcos, and she ran the country into the ground.
	And she was notorious for having something like...
	I don't know, 100,000 pairs of shoes.
	Yeah.
	And she had this big closet.
	The closet was like a warehouse full of shoes to choose from.
	What year did they reign?
	That's a good question.
	You should look it up, but let's get it right.
	So I would look it up on the wiki.
	On the wiki wiki.
	Okay.
	Marcos.
	I have a feeling this might be 1970s.
	I might be crazy, but I'm thinking it's 1970.
	You probably are correct, would be my guess, if I'm just going to guess, as part of the 70s.
	Yes, and I have something to say about this, about the 70s.
	What did you get?
	Oh, I wasn't looking.
	I thought you were looking it.
	Oh, no.
	I thought you were looking it.
	I'm looking now.
	You said you were looking it up.
	No, I said we should look it up.
	Okay.
	Well, we should look it up.
	Here it is.
	I got it.
	So, Ferdinand Marcos...
	No, it was the 80s, I think.
	Okay.
	He...
	Oops.
	No.
	He was...
	Reigned from...
	No, from 65 to 86.
	So he was in 20 years, so his main years were the 70s.
	Yes, the martial law was from 72 until 81.
	Ha!
	Go figure.
	70s repeat.
	And something you said would never happen was just announced in Central Park this summer.
	The Disc Oasis, a 70s-themed roller disco experience!
	Did we already do a clip on this?
	No!
	No, I said there will be roller disco and you said...
	No, didn't we just do a clip on this like about four shows ago?
	I got it from NPR. They were talking about this woman who had this roller blade thing in Los Angeles and they opened it up in Central Park in New York City and it's called the same thing her club was?
	I don't know.
	Do we have that clip?
	Well, I don't have it.
	This is not a show.
	This is a few shows back.
	Hmm.
	I thought you said it wasn't going to happen.
	No, I played a clip of it actually happening.
	In real time?
	In real time.
	Just the opposite of what you're accusing me of.
	No, I apologize.
	I apologize.
	I apologize.
	We want to sneak in some quick COVID before we get to the break?
	I want to play something before we do that.
	I just want to get some China stuff out of the way, and then you can do your...
	Because there's a big beef going on.
	Okay.
	Is this about the May...
	What is it?
	The May 22nd World Health Organization when they take over all of our health authority for the entire world?
	They're not taking over from China.
	The head of the World Health Organization is calling out Beijing's zero COVID-19 policy, describing it as unsustainable.
	He's pushing China to shift its course on virus handling.
	But the comments have stirred both anger and what looks like a new wave of censorship from Beijing.
	Let's take a look.
	The head of the World Health Organization, or WHO, appears to be getting censored in China.
	That's after he made comments questioning the country's zero COVID-19 policy.
	When we talk about the zero COVID strategy, we don't think that it's sustainable, considering the behavior of the virus now and what we anticipate in the future.
	Tedros made the comments during a media briefing on Tuesday.
	They mark a rare case of division between the WHO and Chinese policies.
	And China's two largest social media platforms, Weibo and WeChat, seem to be censoring them.
	A Weibo hashtag featuring Tedros' name has also been censored, along with images of his face.
	Social media reports say a related article has been blocked on WeChat and unable to be shared.
	Beijing responded to the WHO during a news briefing the following day.
	Officials called Tedros' comments irresponsible.
	Beijing's disagreement with the WHO comes with curious timing.
	Days before Tedros made his statement, Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping promised to uphold the policy.
	He added Beijing would, quote, resolutely struggle against disapproval of it.
	Hmm.
	Amen. .
	Something's up there.
	Something's up with that.
	Hmm.
	So much for them being in bed.
	Okay.
	You want to do the other China stuff or can I take that straight into COVID? No, no.
	I want to go into COVID. I don't want to do China stuff.
	You got to China into COVID and I'm going to do COVID stuff.
	This is China COVID story.
	This is Chinese stealing from those in quarantine.
	For many Chinese residents getting forced out of their homes and into quarantine facilities may be among the worst fates they could imagine.
	But now, some of them are facing something they say is even worse.
	And it starts after they get home from isolation facilities.
	Residents who tested positive for COVID-19 are urged to hand over their house keys before they leave for quarantine.
	That's so pandemic workers can disinfect their homes.
	And for those who refuse to hand over their keys, workers will break in instead.
	The practice is part of strict pandemic prevention measures.
	Beijing calls its zero COVID-19 policy.
	It aims to eradicate the Chinese Communist Party virus from inside China.
	The virus, also known as the CCP virus, causes COVID-19.
	China's policy contrasts with most other nations, which are learning to live with the infection in low numbers.
	The workers in charge of disinfecting homes spray sanitizing cleaner on all surfaces inside.
	That's including bedding, furniture and even clothing, bags, shoes and wood furnishings.
	They also dispose of residents' items at will and throw out any food they find in refrigerators.
	A video clip shows the state of one home after workers came to disinfect it.
	I'm shaking with rage.
	All the rice, oil I bought were gone.
	And my shoes, I deliberately hid them in the kitchen, but they were gone too.
	They were all gone.
	The resident burst into tears after seeing the damages.
	Another video from Shanghai highlights a similar case.
	One of the city's residents had been sent to a quarantine center for coming in close contact with an infected COVID-19 patient.
	After he got home from isolation, he was surprised to find his belongings gone.
	Yeah, they're stealing everything.
	Now, I'll play this last chance.
	This is all COVID-related.
	This last one's a real zinger that no one's bringing up, and this is the relationship between some consultant that happens to be a Chinese communist And Germany.
	And a German newspaper reports that a COVID expert who wrote key parts of a COVID strategy paper for the German government is on Beijing's paper.
	Here's more.
	The paper entitled How We Get COVID-19 Under Control was written for the then Interior Minister in March 2020.
	And significantly influenced the COVID measures in Germany.
	He advocated for massive government intervention, including quarantine camps for infected people, and psychological operations to instill fear in children.
	One of his authors, Otto Kobel, is a linguist at a university in Switzerland.
	He's an avowed fan of dictator Mao and was a language teacher in China.
	Kobel told the paper Die Welt he still believes that zero COVID is a good strategy for China, And then he gets paid by the Chinese regime to help with what he called their communication problems.
	The German government official who hired Kobel said he didn't know about the connection.
	Oh yeah, sure.
	Had no idea.
	It's so corrupt.
	All these institutions just...
	They just gotta implode.
	Okay.
	Meanwhile in America...
	Our COVID news is very different.
	We're not so interested in the corruption, in the Chinese government, how this fits together, how we can get out of it.
	No, no, no.
	We're stupid.
	We're stupid.
	We had news reports like this.
	New COVID cases are climbing in 45 states, sparking concern about a fifth wave of the virus.
	The current hot spot is the Northeast, where New York's transmission rate is up 75% in the last month.
	Notice, New York's transmission rate is up 75%.
	Who cares?
	It doesn't mean people are getting sick.
	It doesn't mean anything.
	It's just a high number.
	75% in the last month and in the Boston area officials are considering a return to mask mandates.
	While we've seen the surge in cases, we're not seeing that correlated impact in mortality.
	The challenge we have is going forward, especially into the summer months, where we may see an impact in the South, where we don't have the same level of vaccination and boosting and testing.
	Experts also say the current surge is likely much worse than the numbers indicate because many people are testing at home or not testing at all.
	There's a lot of this people are testing at home.
	Could be worse.
	So we don't really have the numbers because people are testing at home, you see.
	I want to play this clip from the last show.
	I wanted to settle in what Bill Gates said and how we get after two and a half years to this point where we're still propagating this bullshit.
	Again, this is Bill Gates who is at the root of this whole thing talking about what they knew very early on.
	It wasn't until early February when I was in a meeting that experts at the foundation said that there's no way.
	There's been too much...
	Travel without diagnosis for us to contain this.
	And then, at that point, we didn't really understand the fatality rate.
	We didn't understand that it's a fairly low fatality rate and that it's a disease mainly of the elderly, kind of like flu is, although a bit different than that.
	It was like the flu.
	And they knew this in March, in April of 2020.
	Yet all this bullcrap keeps on coming at us, and no one even puts those two together except your No Agenda show.
	So what do we get now on Broadway in New York?
	Are you familiar with Patti LuPone's work, I'm sure?
	Oh, Patti LuPone's the worst.
	She's the eight-time Tony nominee known for her show-stopping voice in shows like Gypsy and Evita.
	But her latest ovation has nothing to do with the part she's playing.
	Put your mask over your nose.
	That's why you're in the theater.
	That is the rule.
	If you don't want to follow the rule, get the f*** out!
	Following Tuesday night's performance in Company, Patti LuPone ripping into an audience member who refused to wear their mask correctly after repeated requests.
	Who do you think you are if you do not respect the people I mean, can you imagine breaking the show to do that?
	It doesn't surprise me with her.
	She's a radical feminist.
	She was such a Trump hater.
	It was unbelievable.
	It's unbelievable.
	She's one of the ones who cheered the loudest about kicking Pence out of the show, kind of.
	Now I remember who she is.
	Well, one more person to talk about, Lori Garrett.
	Lori Garrett is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, and she did a rather long speech, which I think was called, From the 1918 Influenza Pandemic to the 2009 H1N Pandemic to Now.
	That's a rather long speech.
	You can look at it.
	What about the swine flu in the middle?
	Okay, keep going.
	Well, the swine flu was lacking something that we did not have in the 1918 to 2009, and now, here she is.
	A couple of countries that have ever really done large-scale studies to try and figure out what might work.
	Japan, it may not surprise you, is one of them.
	And they, in one of their large studies, they basically showed that the masks, it seemed like the major, The efficacy of a mask is that it causes alarm in the other person.
	And so you stay away from each other.
	And that's what I think happened with SARS. When I was in the SARS epidemic, I saw everywhere all over Asia, people started wearing these masks.
	And it is alarming when you walk down the street and everybody coming towards you has a mask on.
	You definitely do social distancing.
	You definitely, it's just a gut thing.
	But did the mask really help them?
	Did the mask keep the virus out?
	Almost certainly not.
	If the virus was around their face, the mask would not have made the difference.
	So I think this is an area that's always been under-researched, underfunded.
	It's not a sexy area, and it's not an area that results in product development that somebody sees as highly lucrative.
	So she gets dragged on Twitter for this because that's obviously what it's about.
	I mean, that was, you know, it creates fear in the other person.
	Now, of course, it's a badge of honor and it's a political symbol.
	Mask of obedience.
	Mask of obedience.
	So she had to go to Twitter to respond, of course.
	She said, there's nothing strange about what I said.
	I was giving a speech at the National Academy of Sciences on the 100th anniversary of the great influenza.
	And in a Q&A session was asked about masks.
	My comments referred to funky masks used in 1918.
	The beak.
	She's a liar.
	She clearly said about SARS. And what was funky about the masks during SARS? Were they funky?
	Were they crazy?
	Were they scary?
	Were the masks any different than what we have now?
	No, but what she said is absolutely true.
	Because I used to use this, the first time I experienced it was the following.
	I'm getting on a Southwest flight, and the first row, there's somebody sitting next to the window with a mask on.
	And I'm thinking, this is interesting.
	I'm going to sit on the aisle and let's see in a full flight whether that middle seat gets filled.
	It's right in the front.
	We know the answer.
	Not a single person sat in between you.
	No, not a single person.
	So I start advocating, if you're going to go on a flight with your wife...
	You or your wife should sit out the window with a mask on and then you sit on the aisle and leave the middle seat open.
	No one will ever sit there.
	Those days are over.
	But she says, you know, there's been research, and really what came out of it is not that the mask helps with any transfer, but it's just about, it's frightening, and you social distance.
	So why does anybody care to excoriate her on Twitter?
	Well, you've got to do it somewhere.
	You've got to do it.
	Would she go to her house and protest her idiocy?
	I didn't think so.
	I'm gonna show myself old by donating to no agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on no agenda in the morning.
	Yeah, we have a few people to thank, including Mountain Dew, Christopher Lowry in St. Peter's.
	Pete Beach, 17769.
	I'm just going to mention that he does his JRE contribution, and he says...
	JRE got me here and your talent is what keeps me tuning in.
	Ooh, nice.
	And he decided to show his appreciation with his donation.
	Thank you.
	17769.
	Rob Van Dyke, $100.
	Christine Daly in Danbury, Connecticut, $100.
	Sebastian Wozniak in Peyton, Colorado, $100.
	Timothy Carolla in Vienna, Virginia.
	Asking for a dedouching.
	You've been dedouched.
	88.88 from him.
	Ray Aaron in Artesia, New Mexico.
	86.
	Now there's a fallacy here which we need to bring up with this one time, one time only.
	You cannot say wishing John a happy 86th anniversary of his Uncle August's invention of the Dvorak keyboard.
	Yeah, it's pretty odd.
	There's no relation, correct?
	Well, this is the big question.
	I would say that I don't know of necessarily, or potentially, or maybe even on some schema, a relationship, but it could have existed.
	You will do anything for just a little bit of fame, won't you?
	You're such a fame whore.
	I'm a fame whore.
	Okay, good.
	Sir Kevin McLaughlin, the Duke of Luna, lover of America and boobs.
	Obviously a fame whore because he's now famous for his 8008 donation.
	He's a real one.
	And it's catching on.
	And he's in Concord, North Carolina.
	The Gray Man in Denton, Texas, 8008.
	And finally, from The Gray Man, everyone loves boobs.
	It's true.
	Eric Adler in Punta Gorda, Florida, 8008.
	And he needs a dedouching.
	You've been dedouched.
	He says he also needs booze, but we can't provide that.
	Sorry.
	Clayton Mayring in Twin Falls, Idaho, 69-69.
	Now we need to...
	And he's going to...
	Is he going to be...
	Yeah, I'll read this one.
	Job Karma Works.
	I want to thank you and John for a job's coming back in March.
	I'm happy to say I'll be leaving the rat poop inspector department and moving to a state job overseeing aspects of the jabs.
	Holy crap.
	We need some reports.
	May I humbly request a title change from Sir Rockchuck to Sir Jab Czar?
	The requisite 6969 tribute has been remitted.
	No need to read on there, but we're doing it anyway because we appreciate it.
	He says, P.S. Funding is being worked out for a permanent jab department for adults, and he has a link to the CDC. Oh, yeah.
	It's not stopping, people.
	It's not stopping.
	Pfizer is on the ball.
	GW4 Scythe Foreman is next on.
	No, it's not.
	GW4 ads, which is good for the show.
	G.W. Forsyth Foreman in Bromley.
	Bromley, UK. And this is for the no agenda Jitsi room on behalf of...
	No, there's a Jitsi room?
	Yes.
	Jitsi.
	Are they Jitsi?
	5, 6, 7, 8.
	What?
	They Jitsi together.
	They do?
	Mm-hmm.
	Are they naked?
	I hope so.
	56-78.
	Brian Piesk?
	Piesk?
	He's in the 55-55 and he's in the kind of saline world of Michigan.
	Brett Hahn in Medford, New Jersey, 5333.
	These are Mother's Day donations, I believe.
	Yes, yes.
	Ergot in Clovis, California, 5333.
	And he says it's a birthday donation for a smoking hot wife, Peggy.
	Mike Sisk, 50-50.
	Barron Sur Economic Hitman in Houston, aforementioned Houston, Texas, 50-01.
	And the following people with name and location are all donating 50 bucks.
	Jonathan Ferris in Liberal, Kansas.
	Philip Kim in San Francisco.
	Gavin McGoldrick in San Francisco.
	Greg Fyrick in Chicago.
	Robert Wiltshire in Ashburn, Virginia.
	David Bailey in McMurray, Pennsylvania.
	George, Sir George Wuchit.
	And I forgot where he's from.
	It doesn't say.
	Jim Andrianikos in Glenview, Illinois.
	Christopher Rivera in Netherland, Colorado.
	Matt Rethke in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
	Richard Grabowski in Lynchburg, North Carolina.
	David Schwendinger in Woodbridge, Virginia.
	Margarita Eden Hood in Orangevale, California.
	Michael Wendell in Madowan, New Jersey.
	And last but not least, Anonymous in Springfield, Illinois.
	He did send a note in that we'll take a quick look at.
	It was something we should read, might want to read, don't want to read.
	It's on page four of your notebooks, everybody.
	And it says...
	No.
	Nothing.
	No, there's nothing here.
	Nothing.
	Completely unnecessary.
	You can find an enclosed check is what it says.
	Very nice.
	We always like that.
	We always like that.
	And that's our group of producers, and you have more to say.
	Well, I was just going to say that value for value is what has been keeping us going now in our 15th year.
	Don't let Silicon Valley determine what you should pay for something, even what you should pay for an app or a song or anything like that.
	You determine what kind of value you place on digital media, digital content.
	I mean, this is falling apart, people.
	The streaming guys, everyone's going to have to chop their budgets because no one can afford $200 to have.
	Oh, I've got to have Disney.
	I've got to see Marvel Cinematic Universe.
	Oh, no, I need to have Discovery Plus because I've got C&M Plus.
	Oh, I've got to have Apple Plus.
	No!
	It's not going to work.
	This is the only way it can move forward with digital media.
	It makes so much sense.
	You determine what it's worth.
	And it's not pay-to-play.
	It's play-to-pay.
	That's how it works.
	We love it.
	Thank you to these producers and everyone who came in under $50.
	We do not read those for sake of anonymity, but also there's a lot of sustaining donations you can take advantage of and help us with.
	Those are smaller.
	If you'd like to find out more and how to become an executive or executive producer of the No Agenda Show, go here.
	Everybody a nice goat karma to play us out.
	You've got karma.
	You've got karma.
	Robert Donaghy.

	Alright, we've got ourselves two nights, one day.

	For you, we've got hookers and blow, rent boys and chardonnays.
	Cincinnati-style chicken.
	Took a while to get it, but it's good.
	Bacchanilla, bong, hit some bourbon, sparkling cider and escorts, ginger ale and gerbils, breast milk and pablum.
	Maybe some Reubeness women in rosé or...
	The mutton and mead who does not love it while you're waiting for your Cincinnati-style chicken.
	I thought it was chili.
	Chili.
	Did I say chicken?
	I meant chili.
	You said chicken twice.
	I said chicken twice?
	I've ordered the wrong thing.
	I'm sorry.
	Well, have some more mutton and mead.
	You may have ordered the right thing, but you're just saying chicken.
	It looks like chicken to me.
	I'm looking right at it here at the table.
	I think I ordered the wrong thing.
	I will get you the chili.
	I'm sorry.
	Meanwhile, while we're waiting for that to show up, go to noagendanation.com slash rings.
	Let us know what size you want, where to send it, because we've got not just the beautiful signet ring, but some wax to seal your important correspondence with, with that ring, and your certificate of authenticity.

	Well, you'll see what I'm doing.
	You'll see what I'm trying to do when you play these ISOs.
	Okay.
	Let's start with...
	I think this is really the best one for the end of the show.
	I'll save it for last.
	I'll just start with the bottom one.
	Think.
	Think about it.
	Oh, Biden again.
	Okay, okay.
	Try this one.
	Taste it.
	I can taste it.
	No, I reject Biden as end-of-show ISO. Okay, how about this?
	Uh, Hendrickson.
	Here's Hendrickson.
	Huh?
	No, that's horrible.
	Okay, let's try this one.
	Communists.
	Doesn't it feel like there's communists everywhere?
	Okay, I see why you like that one.
	Let me try a few of my own, just to make sure.
	I have placed yours as temporary winner, but I have a couple of my own.
	Let's see.
	We have this one.
	I lost my train of thought.
	No, that's no good.
	Hold on.
	This one.
	Well, you're the bomb.
	No.
	Due to bomb?
	Due to bomb.
	It's not really working either.
	Maybe this one will suffice.
	This is my last chance.
	It looks crusty and yummy.
	I couldn't help that.
	Alright, communists everywhere.
	Doesn't it feel like there's communists everywhere?
	It's kind of okay.
	I'll take it.
	I win!
	I win!
	You do win.
	You do finally win.
	I just wanted...
	I have one...
	These things can wait.
	But this one I wanted to play because I've been looking at receiving and seeing more clips from this outfit, GB News, in the UK. Have you caught any clips from this GB News?
	No, I have not.
	GB News is bursting onto the scene.
	It is available globally, of course, online.
	Is it like Newsy or Cheddar?
	No, no.
	It's more like...
	No.
	I was trying to figure out how these guys stay on the air in the UK. Because they have a very anti-vax message.
	I'll play this, then we'll talk about GB News.
	Yeah, these vax attacks just come and there's no warning.
	Yeah, so I'm sorry.
	This is one of many reports of people complaining of vaccine adverse events, which they deem vax attacks, which I like.
	Yeah, these vax attacks just come and there's no warning.
	I'm beginning to realize that, you know, I've set up a small support group of vax-damaged People.
	And we're beginning to see a pattern now where these vax attacks, you get a day of fatigue, which you might not notice, and you carry on.
	And then in my case, the pains start jabbing in the left eye, because you know I've been having lots of eye problems, eye droop, facial numbness.
	And we got a lovely hotel booked.
	It was a family bar mitzvah weekend.
	My husband's Jewish.
	He's a nice Jewish boy.
	And we had this amazing weekend booked.
	And I sat down on the stairs on Friday morning having packed.
	And he said, you look like, you know, you look awful.
	And I said, I can't come, you know.
	And it was just a big deal because I'm a bit of a live wire and I love a party pre-AstraZeneca.
	So they're calling it out by name.
	It's in the UK. I find this unbelievable that they're allowing this to be on television, television news, until you find out this is part of the Discovery Network.
	This is a John Malone company.
	That's interesting.
	And they're doing some damage over there to the official messaging.
	Huh.
	How about that, huh?
	There's probably some underlying political reason for this, I'll betcha.
	Uh, yeah.
	Didn't get a concession, something didn't happen, we're going to, okay, if you don't like what we're, you know, maybe we'll just do this if you don't do that.
	I just, very suspicious.
	They've been kind of anti-messaging ever since they first appeared on my radar, which has been a few months ago, so...
	I'm not quite sure.
	Do you have anything to clean it up with?
	Well, since you're playing the drug stuff, I just thought this was a weird, you know, CBS News with Nora.
	I just thought it was kind of insulting to Nora to run an ED commercial.
	That's erectile dysfunction to you and me.
	On CBS, and here it is.
	Sometimes, you might not feel ready for the moment.
	With Roman at your side.
	We got this.
	You can take care of erectile dysfunction discreetly.
	so that you're ready.
	Roman ready.
	What's happening during that music outro?
	What's happening?
	It's just showing people hugging and kissing.
	The whole thing is like, why would you put this on the evening news with a female anchor?
	I think it's an insult, personally.
	Well, sure, but how about for the money?
	And, considering all the ED that's showing up from people who have received vaccinations, maybe that has something to do with it.
	I don't know.
	It's just me.
	For the money.
	Alright, I'm calling it.
	We've got the written revolution coming up next on NoAgendaStream.com.
	That's with Dame Ashley of the Lake and Sir Real Estate.
	Okay.
	I don't know if that's live or not, but sounds like something I might want to hang around for.
	End of show mixes.
	We've got Leo Lepuke, who returns triumphantly.
	We've got Professor JJ. We've got Tom Starkweather and the Clipper Stodian, Neil Jones, all with end of show mixes.
	When it rains, it pours.
	Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No.
	6 in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where we're all celebrating National Mental Health Awareness Week.
	That includes me.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We will return on Sunday.
	Sunday, Sunday, Sunday.
	Right here on No Agenda.
	Please remember us at dvorak.org slash na.
	And until then, adios mofos!
	and such.
	So Biden and Piers have coined the term Ultra Magga.
	Adding a little ultra to it give it a little extra pop.
	Ultra Magga.
	Ultra Maga.
	Ultra Maga Man.
	Ultra Maga.
	Ultra Maga.
	The Ultra Maga Republicans are on the march.
	The new enemy.
	And I think he meant it to be like, this is bad.
	It sounds absolutely awesome.
	Ultra Maga.
	The Democrats are Rodan and Mothra.
	And so the Republicans are calling in Ultra Maga Man.
	The Ultra Maga agenda looks awesome.
	Thanks to Joe Biden for promoting it.
	Come on, Ultra Maga Man.
	The biggest challenges in getting the public vaccinated.
	We've heard false claims.
	The FDA limits use of Johnson& Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine, citing clot risks.
	What?
	We've heard false claims that COVID-19 vaccines cause infertility and cause COVID-19.
	Reducing a liar's reach is not the same as censoring freedom of speech.
	What?
	The agency reached its decision after a recent review of the data on the vaccine revealed another person in this country had died the ninth such death.
	And worse, we've heard false claims that thousands of people have died from the vaccine.
	And those people on the left who are pushing mandates, shame on you.
	Shame on you.
	And those people on the left who are pushing mandates, shame on you.
	Reducing a liar's reach is not the same as censoring freedom of speech.
	Because of the risk of a blood clotting disorder that was discovered in the spring of 2021.
	A harm reduction model.
	We've heard false claims, inaccurate news and rational views.
	We're not saying that it's a bad vaccine.
	We just don't want people to take it anymore.
	We've heard false claims.
	And those people on the left who are pushing mandates, shame on you.
	Disinformation about, let's say the pandemic, is unhealthy.
	It's harmful.
	So the pause was lifted 10 days later.
	What?
	And those people on the left who are pushing mandates, shame on you.
	Data continue to show that the benefits of the vaccine outweigh its risks.
	But reducing a liar's reach is not the same as censoring freedom of speech.
	We're not saying it's a bad vaccine.
	What?
	We've heard false claims.
	When the clotting risk was identified in mid-April of 2021, we're just saying, uh, we don't want to take it, but poor countries should.
	Lake Mead has always been at odds with its surroundings.
	A mammoth body of water in one of the hottest, driest places in the West.
	And without the Hoover Dam and the water it provides our state from the Colorado River, modern Phoenix most likely could not exist.
	This area was habitated for thousands of years by Native American peoples that called this home.
	So we expect fully that as lake levels drop, there will be artifacts that are in some cases hundreds or thousands of years old.
	For years, investigators believe these waters of Lake Mead held a deep sea.
	So far this year, the reservoir has dropped 33 inches.
	The nation's largest man-made reservoir is now bursting with surprises.
	Voters found a man's body over the weekend inside this corroded barrel.
	The detectives tell me that they suspect that more bodies are gonna pop up in the next decades, maybe years, because our lake is receding.
	The current water elevation is a new record low for the reservoir, dropping below the last record that was set on December 2, 2021.
	Breaking news, a second set of skeletal remains have been found at Lake Mead.
	The body found in Lake Mead has many thinking about our city's history with organized crime.
	Water level is going so low, there's probably a lot more in there than what people realize.
	These barrels seem to just be popping up in our lake.
	Yeah, I mean, it's quite sort of amazing, really, what can be discovered, I suppose, and how long it's been here and...
	We're in Southern Nevada community a century ago, completely disappeared in 1938 when it was inundated by the rising waters of the newly created Lake Mead.
	There is another hybrid variant.
	That's correct.
	And I want to really emphasize that as we hear about these new variants, it's really important that we do not turn a deaf ear to them.
	Not every variant is a cause for alarm, but we do need to know what's emerging because they will continue to emerge.
	This latest one, it's called XE. The chief medical officer at Moderna warns that if someone is infected with both the Omicron and Delta variants, it could lead to the formation of a new variant.
	And we talk about Delta, but now we need to talk about Lambda.
	We have another variant.
	We do have another variant.
	Again, it's starting to get attention.
	I want to encourage people not to be concerned or afraid or surprised when they hear about this, because as we've said, these viruses mutate for a living.
	So Lambda variant.
	Tonight, new cases of the COVID variant Omicron are cropping up around the world.
	And now we're starting to hear about this Delta Plus variant as well.
	What's the difference between that and the Delta variant and how concerned are you about it?
	There are now two new variants that are really these ones of interest, the ones to watch.
	Tell us about this.
	So the first one is dubbed new after the Greek letter.
	So these are two variants that are found that are more transmissible than what we call the wild-type virus, the virus that is currently circulating.
	First of all, when you have a variant, if there's a circulating variant, So the point I'm saying is that there are variants in now circulating.
	The best podcast in the universe!
