	It's bogus, that's what it is.
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	It's Thursday, May 26, 2022.
	This is your award-winning Kemo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1454.
	This is No Agenda.
	Deconstructing Davos and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region 7.
	6.
	In the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley where everybody's talking about the fact that Wendy Williams had her show stolen from her.
	I'm John C. DeVore.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill!
	In the morning!
	It's hard for me to believe that people you know and you talk to are really distressed about Wendy Williams.
	You're talking about the showbiz, the talk show host, Wendy Williams.
	Yes.
	She's not like a tennis sister.
	Another Williams sister.
	You're talking about Wendy from the show.
	She's a little bigger than the other ones.
	She had her show stolen from her, and this took place about a year ago.
	Yeah, from the anti-vaxxers.
	I didn't know this got stolen.
	She was anti-vax.
	The next thing you know, she's sick or something, or she's got mental health issues, or she had a nervous breakdown.
	No one will say.
	And so they took the show, but she can't get back on the show.
	It's been going on for...
	Oh wait a minute, hold on, so she had to leave for, I remember this somehow, God knows why, she had to leave for mental health reasons, show business, and then someone else took over the show, now she's ready to come back and they won't let her?
	Is that what you're saying?
	That's my understanding, but what's happened is she's out- Outraged.
	I think she's out for good, but they're keeping the show going with these phony baloney guest hosts.
	Some of them are good.
	Especially the gay guy.
	The show is gay to begin with.
	Anything successful is.
	There's some white gay guy that's really funny and I don't know why they don't leave him on, but today they had some A Wendy Williams clone who tried to be funny, but it was disgusting.
	To me, the most disgusting part about it is that the show itself, the people that are kind of part of the show, like there's a black, kind of a mixed race, very effeminate floor manager who's always interacting with Wendy, laughing about who he dated last night.
	And then there's a Becky Worley looking, Woman who is like the producer and she's like of the Larry Sanders show where he had ripped horn, you know And They both interact with these phony baloney guesses if nothing happened they don't care I'm so happy that you bring this topic up because this is exactly what is wrong with America and
	Because if we're not talking about the Wendy Williams affair, we're talking about the Amber Heard Johnny Depp trial.
	Oh man, so many people know everything about that.
	You get hooked to it.
	You have to be careful.
	Don't watch it.
	Well, this would be my point.
	If anyone showed up this morning thinking, oh yeah, can't wait for the full deconstruction about what happened in Uvalde, Texas, Adam and John will know exactly.
	They'll tell us.
	You're going to be severely disappointed.
	Forget what happened, and of course, everyone's pissed off.
	You have zero clips about it, what are you talking about?
	You have zero clips, I have zero clips because it's the end goal.
	What the media does, regardless of why this happened, the whole point is to have- I do have- Well, let me just finish.
	Let me finish!
	Okay, I'm just making sure that you know that I do have a clip.
	Hey, John, do you have a clip?
	Let's play that now.
	Keep going, keep going.
	No!
	Let's play it now.
	No, it's an in-context clip.
	You can't just play it.
	The point is that this is what the media is trained to do and everybody I know is falling right in line.
	Let's discuss.
	What is it?
	Guns or mental health?
	What is it?
	Texas?
	Even Europe is in on the game.
	I'm looking at the Dutch press this morning.
	Well, it's obvious that the Republicans and all of Texas, they love guns better than children.
	You know, this is, you are falling into it if you want to know what happened.
	Of course, this is a tragedy.
	I was in Uvalde not more than four months ago, and it's not easy to get to Uvalde.
	That's where we rode those tanks.
	I'm surprised they haven't mentioned the douchebag ranch up there where people go shoot animals and drive tanks and shoot machine guns.
	That will happen because that's all the M5M is doing for us right now, is making sure every podcast, every single podcast is, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I Come here for something different.
	Because shit is going on while you're involved in that discussion.
	Wouldn't you say, John?
	There's always stuff going on.
	But, like, important stuff.
	Well, I don't know that, you know, this is, from a sociological perspective, this is all important because this is part of the scheme to get people to vote Democrat.
	And it needs to be discussed from that perspective and from no other perspective.
	Good.
	Then I'll kick it off.
	And I know you have a clip I heard.
	I just have a couple.
	So this happened.
	Hold on.
	Let me just, let me, let me tell this one thing.
	So I tuned in against Better Judgment, tuned in to Tucker Carlson, and I said to Tim, I said, the minute he politicizes this shit, I'm out.
	And how does he start off?
	Well, President Joe Biden will be speaking live in a moment.
	We're going to be covering that.
	And we sure hope he doesn't make this political!
	That by itself is politicizing it!
	It's just sickening.
	And you know, and even my innate, not innate, even my inclination is to go, yeah, yeah, screw that.
	But it's so wrong.
	You miss the whole, the whole real show is passing you by.
	We got some other things happening, but tell me about your clip.
	Well, my clips aren't really as much about the event.
	Yeah, that's good.
	That's good.
	Thank you.
	But they're about kind of the kind of what weird falls.
	For example, this is a local tea.
	I got a lot of local stuff for today because I like the packages.
	I'm noticing that, for example, our local Fox affiliate, they get packages from Fox.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And those are good.
	And their packages are actually sometimes better than the national news.
	And the Ukrainian stuff is a good example.
	I think that's because they have more time at the local level and that everything is so short and you put a little more time into some of these packages they just get more interesting.
	So, but talking about the Uvaldi, or however you pronounce it.
	Uvaldi.
	Which is 130 miles from you exactly, I checked it out.
	And to get there takes about three and a half, three hours and 15 minutes.
	It's like driving through Italy.
	It's stunningly beautiful, winding roads, uphills, downhills.
	You can't go more than 50, 55 in most parts of it.
	So here's an example of some somewhat professional and unprofessional.
	We have a woman, I can't even remember her last name, Donchie, I think's her last name.
	Donchie.
	She came from Austin and she's a, KPIX is our local CBS affiliate, and they always hire probably the prettiest women they can find and kind of schlub men.
	And they have, they've gone through some unbelievable, mostly telegenic, but they really know, understand it.
	So this woman, Sarah Daunchy, who came out of, she's floated all over the place and she was in Los Angeles during a very famous bunch of photos of her during an earthquake and she's freaking out on set.
	Here she is choking up and she's saved.
	I can't say it was totally seamless that anyone has an ear, but it's interesting to listen to how the anchor, the co-anchor saves her.
	But I just thought it was fascinating how sometimes you just can't handle this job.
	This is local TV anchor chokes up while talking about the shooting.
	Why is this not firing?
	Oh, here we go.
	We are learning more on those lives lost yesterday.
	It's very tough to share these pictures and hear their stories.
	Ten-year-old Anabel Guadalupe Rodriguez was an honor roll student.
	A fourth grade teacher, Eva Morales, was an educator for 17 years.
	And then there is nine-year-old Mary Jo Garza.
	Her father posted her picture on social media with a single word.
	Why?
	The family of Yeah, I'm looking at Donchie right now.
	She has that Natalie Morales type multi-culti.
	Oh, she's so multi-culti, it's ridiculous.
	And depending on angle, she has different cultis.
	Yes, she could be Italian.
	I've said this about these women before.
	She could be Italian, she could be Mexican, she could be, you know, she could be Middle Eastern.
	Multifunctional from a television perspective.
	Yes, it's a gold mine.
	She's a woman of color.
	I mean, all of it.
	And by the way, for those of you who are new to the show, we are purely talking as experienced media executives.
	Yeah.
	And this is the way we'd be doing our hiring if we were doing it.
	We'd be patting ourselves on our back for this hire.
	Oh, yeah.
	She breaks, she loses it, as you can hear, and it's covered seamlessly by her host.
	kind of seamlessly because she's in tears and then they keep away from her on the camera side and everything else and they never you know at no point do they go back and and draw attention to it which you i've seen happen yeah oh i'm sorry i couldn't oh i'm sorry this is affecting right i just had to compose myself one of those yeah they didn't do any of that it was and it was just this moment and it was quickly forgotten because it wasn't you know re revisited
	which is really the worst thing you could do to some point unless you hated her you could do it Are you okay?
	You want a hanky?
	I mean, you could do that if you hated her.
	But anyway, I just found it just a moment.
	I think you wouldn't say that.
	You'd have a box of Kleenex and take the tissue out and hand it to her.
	That way you could still make her look stupid and you could be gallant.
	That's a better way to do it.
	You can really tell these teams when you watch these TV shows if somebody's hated.
	It just shows up in little ways and they start to bicker, like we do.
	Now the other one is this.
	This is Governor Newsom going on about California Uberallis, which was amusing because I heard a version of California Uberallis, which was originally done by the dead Kennedys.
	And better, by the way.
	But here is Newsom, Gavin Newsom, going after Abbott.
	Sarah, in response to the Texas school shooting, Governor Newsom pledged to make quick legislative moves to prevent other mass shootings.
	He says if California takes action, other states will too.
	We're going to control the controllables, the things that we have control of.
	California leads this national conversation.
	When California moves, other states move in the same direction.
	No?
	The proposed bills include SB 1327.
	It allows private citizens to sue gun manufacturers or distributors.
	That bill has passed the Senate and is now in assembly.
	SB 906 would require school officials to investigate any threats of a mass shooting and report it to law enforcement.
	AB 1594 would limit firearm advertisement to minors.
	And other bills will focus on ghost guns.
	And when asked about gun laws, Texas Governor Greg Abbott cited places like L.A., Chicago, and California.
	His point was more gun laws don't lead to less violence.
	But Governor Newsom pushed back.
	But Governor Abbott just name-checked the state of California.
	I would caution him from doing that.
	And you just go to the CDC website and look at that gun murder rate in 2020.
	It was 67% higher than the state of California in 2020.
	This is it.
	This is exactly what they do.
	This is exactly how politicization works.
	And let's just put it into a little perspective.
	You know, when I see Europeans, Dutch in this case, posting comments, you know, like, you know, it's like, oh, you have an epidemic, you know, you love your guns.
	And I say, no, actually, we love opioids.
	That's what's really killing Americans.
	You know, it's like, how many mass shootings have there been?
	And I'm not trying to trivialize it.
	I'm just trying to put it into some perspective.
	That's the difference.
	And I'll get hate emails for just saying this.
	Yeah, well, you're... Don't go there.
	I don't know why you get hate emails at all.
	It's because you block everybody.
	They're angry at you and they email me.
	They can't get through to you.
	So, the number... if people want to have some perspective on places that don't have a lot of guns, Go look up, go to wikipage and look up car bombing deaths.
	The number of killings from these mass shootings since 1999 is something like 200.
	156 I think.
	Well, I've seen 196.
	I've seen 240.
	And also, that's mass shootings, two people or more.
	It's not, you know, there's all kinds of chaos.
	Well, whatever the case, we do have gun deaths of different sorts.
	We have mass shootings.
	But you look at car bombings.
	This is what people, when they get frustrated, do instead of going out and grabbing a gun and shooting up a mall.
	They do a car bombing, 200 dead, 100 dead, 50 dead, 20 dead.
	And there are thousands and thousands and thousands and nobody bitches and moans about that.
	Just take cars away.
	Yeah, but that's because it's brown people who live in sandy areas mainly.
	No, there are car bombings in France, they're in Asia, they're in Africa.
	Southern Africa where it's not sandy.
	They're all over the place.
	What?
	Southern Africa's not sandy?
	What are you telling me?
	They're in Iraq.
	Now the only other one that I got clipped that I thought was funny because it entails me having a kind of a gag.
	Okay.
	It's kind of a gag reflex, but it is the gag.
	This is Texas and this is where Aurora.
	Beto.
	Beto Aurora comes in and starts, you don't hear him because it's not mic'd in this, because he's not mic'd, which he should have been, I'm surprised he wasn't.
	Goes on to interrupt a presentation done by Abbott and listen to this thing because at the end, I have to say something.
	Liz, thanks.
	Now in Texas, while Governor Abbott was providing updates on the school shooting, Democratic candidate for governor Beto O'Rourke interrupted him pushing for new gun laws.
	Excuse me.
	Sit down.
	You're out of line and an embarrassment.
	Sit down.
	O'Rourke was escorted out of the auditorium, but here is what he had to say once he was outside.
	He says this was unpredictable.
	It was totally predictable, and I predict this will continue to happen when you continue to have a governor who will not stand up for the people of Texas.
	Hey!
	Hey!
	He can't stand up!
	He's in a wheelchair, you asshole!
	Wow, I didn't expect that.
	I had not seen this one coming at all.
	But yes, good point.
	This was peak politicization and it was beautiful to see, because of course I looked at this.
	And it was Paxton, actually, the lieutenant governor, who was doing most of the yelling at him.
	But then the mayor, the mayor of Uvalde, was shuffling forward.
	And all these guys got sidearms and they're pointing at him.
	And so, of course, this made Beto an instant hero with the political left and a total douchebag with the political right.
	It was exactly what you wanted, to spark more conversation so more podcasts can talk about their opinions.
	Let's deconstruct some media here for a moment.
	I'm in.
	We will find out more, but the media from the get-go on this thing...
	Has no timelines, has confusing information, some might call it disinformation.
	There's just adding a big scoop of people posting on social media.
	There's no way to know what is going on.
	I think you're absolutely right what you do here.
	Let's just look at that politicization because that's what you're a part of if you're even thinking of it.
	And that doesn't mean that you shouldn't be thinking about children, of course.
	But we have to put things into perspective and we have to make sure that we're paying attention to other things that are going on as we speak in the world.
	Are you excited to hear that?
	Do you have any ideas?
	Yeah, I do actually.
	This is by extreme happenstance and coincidence because it typically doesn't happen around this time of year.
	It is World Economic Forum 2022 in Davos week and it's a doozy!
	You won't see much of this on your news, you won't hear podcasts talking about it because this is where the same a-holes who are all in on climate change and cancelling Russia and giving you fake food, this is where they have their agenda.
	Oh, is that my dog or yours?
	That's my dog.
	Easy does it there, Tiger.
	So I have a couple of World Economic Forum clips.
	Most of them are actually pretty short, but I would like to go through them with you because I think there's enough here that would interest us as the anti-globalists that we are.
	And let's start it off with Klaus Schwab.
	He is, of course, the leader of the pack.
	And he's going to tell us, kind of in his opening keynote interview, what to expect.
	I don't know how it will play out in November.
	But what we know is that we will end up with many more unemployed, and particularly also people in the grey economy, which are not counted for, who lose their jobs.
	So we will see definitely a lot of anger already now, but probably increase by the end of the year, because this crisis will be with us until we really have found a remedy.
	So, we have to prepare for a more angry world.
	And how to prepare?
	It means to take the necessary action to create a fairer world.
	To see that we provide everybody with decent access to the health system.
	That we make sure that those people who are really left behind, and I'm not speaking only on national levels, I'm speaking also internationally.
	I see now the tragedy in some of the emerging countries like South Africa, like some countries in East Asia.
	I think it's all I don't have too many remedies.
	The remedies have to be discussed through dialogue by the stakeholders of our global system.
	But I just see the need for such a dialogue and I see the need for action.
	I see the need for a great reset.
	I wonder if he has a dialect, coach.
	You know, he speaks fluent French, too.
	I heard him speak in French in a couple of these interviews.
	He's really good.
	He's French-German.
	You know, French, of course, is the international language of douchebags.
	Sorry to say it, France.
	You know, they still hang on to that as being the language of politics.
	That goes back in history.
	Yeah, yeah, of course.
	Of course.
	But these... Well, look at him.
	Klaus is 84.
	So, you know, when it was trendy, he was around.
	So he's calling for the Great Reset, an angrier world, and we must discuss this.
	We have to have dialogue and action.
	And that's exactly what this week has been so far.
	And the only longer clips I'd like to play is from keynote speaker Ursula von der Leyen.
	As we know, she's the president of the European Starfleet Command.
	And this set the entire tone for the conference just so you understand what these people are thinking.
	And by the way, this Ukraine-Russia thing and SWIFT and all that shit, we have very little to do with it, John.
	All we are is just the idiots who hang up the flags, put our little flag icons in our profiles and pay for it!
	This is a total... Oh, we pay for, yeah, we're the ones paying for everything.
	Yeah, and the EU, oh no, this is their initiative.
	And I'm going to give this podcast to my daughter.
	She knows, she listens often, but not always.
	I'm going to tell her to listen to what's going to go down in the European Union.
	Here is von der Leyen setting the tone.
	This is the beginning of her keynote.
	Thank you very much, Klaus.
	Ladies and gentlemen, Indeed, following your introduction, dear Klaus, it is difficult to believe that in Davos today we're talking about war.
	Because the Davos spirit is the antithesis of war.
	It is about forging ties and together finding solutions for the big challenges of the world.
	You might remember And you worked on it together with us that in recent years we have looked at smart and sustainable ways to fight climate change.
	Just so far we've had war, we've had climate change.
	...globalization so that all can benefit.
	How to make digitalization a force for good and mitigate its risks for democracies.
	So Davos is all about crafting a better future together.
	That is what we should be talking here about today.
	But instead...
	We must address the cost and consequences of Putin's war of choice.
	This is a new one.
	Putin's war of choice.
	So, spoiler, spoiler, there's no coming back for Russia.
	Russia is voted off the island.
	You lost the game.
	You're not allowed to participate.
	We hate you.
	We don't want you.
	This will become evident in the next clips.
	The playbook.
	of Russia's aggression against Ukraine comes straight out of another century.
	Oh, what century?
	The 21st to the 20th?
	The 19th?
	Oh, of course.
	This is the old, he wants to restore USSR.
	This is the best example I have of what you say, you're yourself with your head through the head.
	She is literally telling the European people how these people think about them.
	And saying this is how Putin thinks about them.
	But no, no.
	This lady and everyone else at this conference, they think about you this way.
	Wait, hold on a second.
	So, this hatred of Putin by the EU, what does it stem from, do you think?
	And I will say this, this is noteworthy, is that all the anti-Trump stuff, a lot of it you could say was centered in the EU.
	Yes.
	In fact, that dossier and all the rest of it came from the EU.
	So what is the deal with them and Putin?
	Well, the official reason, which she'll give us in a moment, is to get off fossil fuels, of course, and just rid the world from evil.
	That's the whole thing.
	But the way I see it is, let's create an artificial crisis, an energy crisis, to let everybody go through the pain, and then we'll all be saying, please, more windmills.
	It becomes apparent.
	Wait, how about the idea that we used to have on this show which is that of all the people playing the world game and they're at the World Economic Forum where they're playing this globalist game, Putin was the one that refused to play along even though he was a member of the young leadership group.
	Well, that, I think, is not true.
	There's no evidence of that.
	There was an online type thing, but it doesn't even make sense.
	Well, you think he was never a member of the... No, the timeline doesn't make sense.
	He was in East Germany at the time.
	He's not that old.
	He's not quite old enough for the Young Global Leaders program.
	Okay, okay.
	I can buy it.
	That was bullcrap.
	Okay.
	But your question is valid.
	Isn't this just part of, we were always at war with Eurasia?
	We need an enemy.
	But this is the playbook.
	We need an enemy, and this enemy, we're going to use the enemy to keep China in check, probably.
	But that's not the top thing.
	The top thing is we want to get incredibly rich and have a new economy, because this economy is dead, globally.
	And that's not because we don't need resources and oil and wheat.
	No, it's because they screwed up the money system.
	That's why the first thing we do is remove a sister.
	That was Russia.
	And you heard Klaus, this is going to be an angry world, but we need a great reset.
	And all of this is apparent in Davos.
	Whether they pull it off, different issue.
	But this is what they're trying to do.
	And this woman, by the way, Fonda Lyon, if you look at her history, hasn't worked a day in her life.
	She is a complete product of the political system.
	Her dad was a... Oh, Biden!
	Precisely the same.
	Precisely the same.
	Although, you know, Joey used to say, Joey, Joey.
	I'm going to have to tighten our belts now, Joey.
	Joey.
	All right.
	I don't want to keep interrupting, but I want to.
	It's OK.
	Because it brings up a lot of this woman does bring up a lot of issues with, you know, me and the way if you think about the world as a normal person would.
	But this idea that now they think about it of Biden and this woman.
	This is the same, this is really a, talk about a throwback, talk about a playbook.
	This is a throwback to the monarchies.
	Those people, the monarchs never worked a day in their life.
	They were never amongst the people.
	They were raised in the government as monarchs and they stayed in the government.
	And this is what we're looking at.
	We're looking at a revision, a revised version of monarchies with these people.
	And that will include Biden in that.
	And what's even better, her name is Queen Ursula from now on.
	Who names their kid Ursula anymore?
	I mean, after The Little Mermaid, you wouldn't name your kid Ursula.
	No, after Ursula Andress, I think, is when you'd stop.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, true.
	And by the way, this woman is so recognizable.
	For the Dutch listeners, Nina Brink.
	That's all I have to say.
	This type of elitist woman who is in the highest levels of elitism in Europe is very, very recognizable.
	Particularly the helmet hairdo.
	That's a big thing with these women.
	She's a monarch.
	She's a monarch.
	It's a monarch hairdo.
	Yes, you are right.
	And this is someone who's above Pierre.
	You know, Pierre can do Hillary's hair, but this is a whole... This may be Jacques or somebody who does her hair.
	I don't know what... Yeah, I agree with you.
	All right.
	So, again, what I say you are, I am myself.
	Wat je zegt, ben je zelf met je kop door de helft.
	The playbook.
	of Russia's aggression against Ukraine comes straight out of another century.
	Treating millions of people not as human beings, but as faceless populations to be moved or controlled or set as a buffer between military forces.
	Trying to trample the aspiration of an entire nation with tanks, This is not just a matter of Ukraine's survival.
	This is not just an issue of European security.
	This is putting our whole international order into question.
	Ah, the international order.
	It's all in question now.
	So... How does wait?
	I love it when you interrupt these, by the way.
	I do.
	No, I mean it, I mean it, because that means you're engaged and interested.
	It's good.
	I like it.
	So one thing happens, we have Putin move some troops into Ukraine, two countries that really aren't in the EU, and Putin's already pulled himself away from the international order and kind of chummed up with China.
	How does this change the international order in any way?
	By making the citizens of the European Union poor.
	That's their whole plan.
	To inflict pain upon the citizens of the European Union and blame it on Putin.
	Not even Russia.
	You know what you never hear is about the... How many people live in Russia?
	50 million?
	60 million?
	No, it's more than that.
	I think it's 100... 100, 200.
	No compassion for them!
	Nah, screw them.
	Well, I mean, seriously, they could at least... That's the thing, in this entire speech, and during everything I've seen, and lots of producers have sent stuff, thank you very much, this entire... Oh, damn it.
	Sorry, I keep hitting the mute button.
	This entire conference is just... Russia is just gone.
	We've dealt with it, except for the war, but, you know, we just need to keep funding that, and... 140... I'm sorry, 144.1 million.
	I mean, those people just don't count.
	Global people, they're full of shit, these people.
	They're already getting fabulously wealthy off of the last jerks that this global economy is making.
	And they're just cashing in and setting themselves up.
	And I don't think they really care about any human being but their own friends.
	And that's why they're all jizzed and jacked here at Davos.
	Let's talk about Russia.
	Let's go to the conflict here with von der Leyen.
	Did you finish your speech?
	No, that's what I said.
	Let's go to the conflict now with von der Leyen.
	Oh, you're going back?
	Oh yeah, oh yeah.
	Ladies and gentlemen, this conflict is also sending shockwaves throughout the world.
	Shockwaves.
	Further disrupting supply chains already stretched by the pandemic.
	It is putting new burdens on businesses and households.
	And it has created a thick fog of uncertainty for investors across the globe.
	And more and more companies and countries already battered.
	Notice that she's, you know, the audience she's talking to here is the investors.
	You know, like, I know, I know you all want to get on the gravy train here.
	You need some direction.
	That's why we're here, people.
	We're going to show you how to make a killing.
	Fog of uncertainty for investors across the globe.
	And more and more companies and countries already battered by two years of COVID-19 and all the resulting supply chain issues must now cope with rising prices for energy as a direct result of Putin's unpardonable war.
	Putin's unpardonable war is the whole reason that now we have energy prices skyrocketing and food, projected food shortages.
	It's not anything Europe is doing.
	It's all Putin.
	Does this make sense?
	No.
	From her perspective, it makes nothing but sense.
	Well, seeing as they... Of Putin's unpardonable war.
	I love that word.
	Unpardonable.
	Yeah, that's good.
	It's unpardonable for anybody out there who can't quite... No, we like... From now on, I'm always saying this.
	That's unpardonable!
	Can't believe you did that.
	...of Putin's unpardonable war.
	And Russia has tried to put pressure on us.
	For example, by cutting the energy supplies, the gas supplies of Bulgaria, Poland, and now lately, Finland.
	Let's just put that into perspective, Queen Ursula.
	The reason why is because they were having difficulties paying in rubles.
	Now the Italians, they applied the trick, which you're letting her do, letting them do.
	But this was for non-payment.
	It's not just shutting stuff off.
	But okay, this is exactly what you want.
	You want the talking points, you want the message to be clear.
	But this world, and this behavior we see, has only strengthened Europe's resolve to get rid of Russian fossil fuel dependency.
	Rapidly.
	Rapidly get rid of Russian fossil fuel dependency?
	Rapidly?
	Why?
	Because they cut off supplies to people who didn't pay their bill because you pulled them out of SWIFT?
	The climate cannot wait.
	Oh, we gotta go rapidly now!
	You know, hold on a second.
	The climate can't wait.
	You know, the funny thing about the way you expressed that, you shortened her point.
	This is kind of, not to go back in history too much, but this is kind of what we did to Japan before World War II.
	This comes up later, yeah.
	How did we do it exactly in Japan?
	Well, I don't have it in front of me, but it was similar kind of, you know, not sanctions, nothing is extreme, but we cut them off here and there.
	We made their lives a little more miserable than it had to be, although they deserved it.
	And I suppose we made the right choice after what they did to China.
	It was basically because what they did to China, they deserved it.
	And so it put them in a situation where they kind of did what they had to do and that started the war.
	This is kind of seems similar.
	The only good thing... I don't know why they want to push Russia into dropping a bomb.
	No, no, well they dropped a financial bomb on them basically and that was a much better way to do it because Russia clearly is going to, you know, make its, carry on its life with China and Iran and these types of countries and we'll have a perpetual enemy.
	We'll always have an east that we have.
	This is 1984, just that's your playbook if there's anything.
	We continue.
	But this world, and this behavior we see, has only strengthened Europe's resolve to get rid of Russian fossil fuel dependency.
	Rapidly.
	The climate cannot wait.
	But now, the geopolitical reasons are evident too.
	We have to diversify away from fossil fuels.
	We have set our course already towards climate neutrality.
	So now we must accelerate our clean energy transition.
	And fortunately, we are already having in place the means to do so.
	So, what I'm hearing her say is, look, we already knew we had to get rid of fossil fuel because, you know, the climate cannot wait.
	However, now we need to accelerate it because, you know, Putin's an idiot.
	He's a dick.
	I mean, it's two different reasons, but she combines them together, and we're going full steam ahead, and if you know anything about how the European Union works, and how voting works, and laws are passed down, it's not the way it was explained 20 years ago.
	They just ramrod shit through, and this is all part of the European Green Deal, and we continue.
	Today, Africa is heavily dependent on food imports, and this makes it vulnerable.
	I'm sorry, I think I probably wanted to play this one first.
	Here we go.
	So they have this plan to get rid of... We're already completely getting rid of Russian fossil fuels.
	We need to accelerate.
	Luckily, we have solutions today in place, people.
	The European Green Deal is already ambitious.
	But now, we are taking our ambition yet to another level.
	Okay!
	Last week, the European Commission tabled and proposed RepowerEU.
	RepowerEU?
	You should see this.
	Hold on a second.
	Do you think... We're the ones who coined the Green New Deal.
	Yeah, they have the European Green Deal.
	They changed the Green Deal.
	Do you think that in some way this was a, you know, there's no reason they can't take and use the Green New Deal.
	It's a pretty, it's jazzy.
	Well, the guy who's running it, Frans Timmermans, you know, my buddy over there, the Bilderberger, who I interviewed for Dutch radio a decade ago, he's the one running this.
	I've reached out to him several times.
	He won't return my email, DM or phone call, strangely enough.
	Uh, but he's the one that put the marketing together.
	I don't know.
	I wonder if it's just to snub us.
	I think it's because it's more expansive and they wanted to set it apart from the green.
	Now, when you say the green deal and it's actually the European green deal, you know, that's ours.
	You know, this crazy Americans, that's all AOC with a green new deal that we don't want that.
	Well, there's debts.
	Notice what they don't have, what she doesn't talk about in her speech, and of course I watched the whole thing.
	No mention of LGBTQ+, no mention of racism.
	You say?
	We specialize in that.
	So they throw in some equity here and there.
	So they definitely want to distance themselves from our Green New Deal.
	And we continue.
	Because this is very exciting.
	We're not going to miss a megawatt of energy.
	It's just it's going to be seamless.
	As seamless as you switching networks during the show.
	Yeah, it happens all as seamless.
	That is our 300 billion euro plan.
	To phase out of Russian fossil fuels.
	Oops, oops, misread, misread.
	What did she say?
	I missed it.
	She said we have our 300 billion euro budget to phase out of fossil fuels.
	I mean Russian fossil fuels.
	That is our 300 billion euro plan.
	To phase out Russian fossil fuels and fast forward the green transition.
	Fast forward the green transition.
	It's the green transition.
	I need to write this down.
	These things are important.
	Green transition, everybody.
	And today, if we look at the share of renewables we have in Europe, almost a quarter of the energy we consume in Europe stems from renewable sources already.
	This is the famous European Green Deal.
	It's already 25% from renewable resources!
	This is the Green Deal!
	Now, of course, they allowed But now, through RepowerEU, we will practically double this share to 45% in 2030.
	as a renewable resource and throw some nuclear in there.
	So, yeah, okay, Ursula, sure.
	But now, through RepowerEU, we will practically double this share to 45% in 2030.
	This is only possible by also bringing cross-border cooperation to a new level.
	Take, for example, the North Sea of Europe and what is happening there.
	Let me tell you what's happening there because I've flown the channel, the North Sea, maybe 80, 90 times when I lived in the UK.
	And what would I always bitch about when we had a show after I'd flown over?
	I'd say the windmills, the windmills off the coast of the UK, the windmills off the coast of France, the windmills off the coast of Belgium, the windmills off the coast of the Netherlands.
	I mean, Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of windmills of which maybe 20% were turning at any given moment.
	Yeah.
	Total scam.
	Total scam.
	Last week we had four European member states joining forces to harness the energy of offshore wind and they decided To quadruple their offshore wind capacity by 2030.
	That will mean wind farms in the North Sea will cover the annual energy consumption of more than 50 million homes.
	This is roughly one quarter of all European households.
	This is the right way to go.
	Just so you know, this is the right way to go.
	What I did not clip, I'll just tell you briefly, because it was a very long explanation.
	She talks about putting a whole new pipeline network in place.
	And the pipeline network will include stuff coming from the Leviathan fields, you know, Israel, the Mediterranean, all these different resources, of course, LPG, liquid petroleum gas,
	Uh, ports where they'll take, uh, uh, our LPG, but the, what she said in this long explanation is that they're going to make a switch and these pipelines while initially being used for the now green renewable gas will be switched to hydrogen, which will be made not in the traditional way.
	With, you know, gas or coal.
	No, they're going to do it with wind power and solar.
	They're going to create hydrolysis and they're somehow going to package this up and they're going to switch these pipes and hydrogen is going to be the fuel of the future in the EU.
	I don't know much about hydrogen other than the hydroxy booster I put on my car years and years ago, but this sounds like a very iffy scenario.
	What are your thoughts?
	This is interesting because, and we've kind of discussed it a little bit on the show, but they've talked about, there's kind of a background noise around the Green New Deal, around the Green Deal, whatever green you're talking about, about the so-called hydrogen economy.
	And I've looked and go back and forth and I've driven hydrogen cars.
	I keep trying to keep up with it, the technology and what they're talking about and what they're going to do next.
	Hydrogen has some benefits.
	For example, if you want to, if you have a hydrogen car, you can fill up almost instantly.
	It's unlike batteries where you have to sit there at the charger, the 500,000 charges and wait hours sometimes.
	Or just in line, just in line to get to the charging station.
	Can you imagine if that becomes so popular that there's a line?
	Do you remember the former New York banker, when we swapped one day, he took my truck and I took the Tesla.
	You were in love with that Tesla, by the way, I want to remind you.
	Except for the charging part, I want to remind you, because I had to take an Uber to a charging stand back from the hotel.
	So no, I didn't love it.
	Because I remember it perfectly well.
	But he would drive to Houston, where they have a business, and he would take the Tesla.
	Now, to drive to Houston and back, you need to charge somewhere.
	So there's a supercharger just outside of Houston, and he tried to convince me, by convincing himself, this was great!
	I drive in the morning, you know, just before I get into Houston, I stop at the supercharging station, you know, I can read the paper, I can have a cup of coffee.
	I'm like, you're making excuses for being totally controlled by electricity, bro.
	But no, it's great.
	This is how rich people travel.
	And it was, of course, completely ridiculous.
	It was hampered by the technology that he was hyping.
	He dumped the car, as you recall.
	Oh yeah, he sure did.
	Mainly because we bitched at him on this show.
	I don't think he could handle it.
	It had to be said.
	But now listen to this for a second.
	And I'll come back to Ursula.
	This is the energy panel.
	This is the moderator.
	This is very short.
	The energy panel moderator.
	Well, I was going to finish my hydrogen story.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	Go ahead.
	The problem with hydrogen is it's better than electricity insofar as the cars are concerned, except for the fact that the cars scream when you drive them, which I find to be somewhat annoying.
	Like a jet engine scream?
	When you punch it, when you floor it, it screams.
	I wouldn't say it's like a jet engine, it's more like a banshee.
	It's very annoying to listen to.
	Because of the amount of fuel going through the fuel cell, it creates a noise.
	Maybe this can be solved with some soundproofing.
	I don't know what you can do about it.
	The whole car vibrates with this noise.
	But the fill-up is better.
	Everything's better.
	And you can also use hydrogen to fuel a jet plane.
	You can't do that with windmills, you know.
	Or electricity.
	They do have electrical plans, but this is a joke.
	The problem with hydrogen is it leaks.
	It leaks.
	It leaks like a sieve.
	If you have it, you can have two inches of steel in a, you know, a pipeline.
	The hydrogen leaches through the steel and comes out the other side.
	No, I didn't know this.
	Oh, it's terribly leaky.
	And so, for example, when I was in air pollution, it was when I was in air pollution inspector.
	We had a – one of the facilities in the Bay Area had a hydrogen – Hydrogen is usually stored in these big round globes.
	That's where you usually spot it.
	So if you see a big round globe, you see this.
	It's huge.
	And every once in a while, the thing would catch on fire.
	Now, this is what I'm waiting for.
	All these pipelines that they're going to be jamming gas through and like, boy, we can easily put some hydrogen through there.
	That's going to be great.
	No danger.
	Well, the problem with the hydrogen fires, and they had these sensors and stuff to spot them, is you can't see it.
	Ooh, you burn up on the spot without even knowing it.
	So the tank would start to, technically, this has never happened, at least here, the tank could heat up, be on fire, and just heat up and then explode.
	I mean, that's possible.
	But the problem is they would catch on fire, and as the fire creates a wicking, Just like anything else, you know how things wick.
	So it's... I'm not sure I understand.
	What does that mean, wick?
	You ever take a wick and you stick it in kerosene, you soak it and you light it, it starts to suck... How does the kerosene get to the top?
	Oh, okay.
	Yeah, it sucks it from the bottom up to the top.
	Yes, got it.
	It sucks it through the wick.
	And it's like a reverse siphon.
	So the tank, the phenomenon is that the steel becomes a wick and it starts to push, that sucks the hydrogen out faster and faster.
	So I mean, it could drain the tank pretty much.
	We got a blowtorch.
	And you can't, but you can't see it.
	So if you touch it, you burn your hand off.
	But it's a real, it's a problematic gas to store and use for anything.
	It's like, I mean, it is wonderful in its properties.
	And when it burns, it does just produces water.
	But yeah.
	Well, well, they're all in on, they're all in on hydrogen.
	All in on it.
	I keep reading about the hydrogen economy.
	I have yet to I mean, it sounds good on paper.
	Well, no one offered any solutions that I have found yet at Davos.
	I didn't hear Bill Gates say, oh, I got the hydrogen solution.
	So, but that's the big dream.
	That's the big one.
	It's going to be years and years and years of gas.
	And it's just not going to be Russian gas because those guys have to exit because we want all the money.
	I mean, I don't see any other way, really.
	But it doesn't matter.
	They're all hypocritical a-holes.
	This is the energy panel.
	The moderator, before she starts, asks a simple question.
	So, I'm going to throw this immediately out to the audience and say, how many of you are driving an electric vehicle at the moment?
	One, two, three, four.
	So, I would say that probably constitutes less than 5% of the persons, uh, sitting here in this room.
	Yeah, exactly.
	They don't care.
	They don't even have electric vehicles themselves.
	And I bet those four were lying anyway.
	Yeah.
	Or they have an electric cars in the garage.
	Yeah.
	They took their jet, which was not electric to, um, I wonder if I should, um, Yeah, I'll do this in a second.
	This is the last bit from Ursula.
	So now she's getting into food because we have to prepare the population for the food shortages, which really will happen in the EU.
	Even the Netherlands has gone so hard and heavy into fake food and You know, they are in fact the leaders of creating texture and taste for soy-based and plant-based foods.
	There's no way you're going to have any proper natural protein in the future in the EU, but that's okay because we have high-tech solutions and it's all Putin's fault!
	Today Africa is heavily dependent on food imports and this makes it vulnerable.
	Therefore, An initiative to boost Africa's own production capacity will be critical to strengthen the continent's resilience.
	The challenge is to adapt farming to a warmer and drier age.
	So innovative technologies will be crucial to leapfrog.
	Companies around the world are already testing high-tech solutions for climate-smart agriculture.
	For example, precision irrigation, operating on power from renewable, or vertical farming, or nanotechnologies, which can cut the use of fossil fuels to produce fertilizers.
	Ladies and gentlemen, the signs of a growing food crisis are obvious.
	We have to act urgently.
	But there are also solutions today and on the horizon.
	And this is why, again, cooperation.
	I am working with President el-Sisi to address the repercussions of the war with an event on food security and the solutions coming from Europe and the region.
	It is time to end the unhealthy dependencies.
	On Russia.
	It is time to create new connections.
	Yeah.
	It is time to replace the old chains with new bonds.
	Oh, good one.
	So let's overcome these huge challenges in cooperation, and that is in Davos spirit.
	Thank you for your attention.
	Queen Ursula!
	Queen Ursula, so well done.
	And the whole conference was, of course, surrounding the war.
	Oops, that's me this time.
	Surrounding the war, surrounding climate change.
	I think we should do climate change maybe second half somewhere, because there's a lot of fun stuff that happened regarding climate change.
	But also, you know, just the plebs!
	What are we going to do with all these useless eaters?
	Well, the first thing we're going to do is we're going to track your ass!
	We're developing... I'm sorry, I should say this is the chairman of the Alibaba Group president, Michael Evans.
	He's apparently an American.
	We're developing, through technology, an ability for consumers to measure their own carbon footprint.
	What does that mean?
	Where are they traveling?
	How are they traveling?
	What are they eating?
	What are they consuming on the platform?
	So, individual carbon footprint tracker.
	Stay tuned.
	We don't have it operational yet, but this is something that we're working on.
	Yeah.
	Stay tuned.
	It's coming.
	This is, by the way, anyone who would, but did you notice that both Ursula and this guy that used that word, the word technology is thrown around.
	It's now like a meaningless term.
	It's the answer to everything.
	It's technology.
	It's technology.
	What's your problem?
	It's technology.
	It's perfect.
	Now, is anyone who would suggest what that guy just suggested should be strung up.
	Well, then get a lot of rope because Davos was full of it.
	So, who runs... Alibaba doesn't run WeChat, do they?
	No.
	I think WeChat is separate from Alibaba.
	I'm not sure now, actually.
	You need a mortgage chart to figure out what's who's doing what in China.
	Well, the thing about WeChat and the reason why... WeChat's related to TikTok, I think, in some way, isn't it?
	Well, the thing about WeChat is it's an all-encompassing app.
	And it has stuff like your carbon tracker.
	It has your direct messages.
	It has your payment.
	It has all these things built into it.
	And the Chinese Communist Party has a big hand in how it operates.
	They have direct censorship capabilities.
	This is no secret.
	Everybody knows it.
	But you basically can't live without the WeChat in China.
	That's what, you know, like here people think they can't live without a face bag or Twitter.
	In China, you can't actually operate very well because they've integrated that so tightly, mainly because of the payments.
	I say this to take a slight detour to bring you a little clip from Elon Musk and his plans for Twitter.
	For those that have used WeChat, I think that's, WeChat's actually a good model.
	If you're in China, it's basically, you kind of live on WeChat.
	It does everything.
	It's sort of like Twitter plus PayPal plus a whole bunch of other things and Oral and so on was actually a great interface and it's really an excellent app.
	And we don't have anything like that outside of China.
	So I think such an app would be really useful.
	And just like the utility of sort of a spam-free thing where you can make comments, you can post videos, you can You know, I think it's important for content creators to have a revenue share.
	Um, now, now this, this does not need to be done on Twitter.
	It could be done from something that's created from scratch.
	So it could be something new.
	Um, so really, but, but I think this thing needs to exist, whether it is converting Twitter to, uh, be the sort of like.
	Kind of all encompassing app that, that, like I said, everything from digital town square where important ideas are debated.
	You know, maximally trusted and inclusive.
	Inclusive.
	You sort of have a high trust situation than payments, whether it's crypto or fiat, can make a lot of sense.
	We just want something that's incredibly useful and that people love using.
	But it's either convert Twitter to that or start something new.
	Those are the two.
	But it does need to happen somehow.
	Yeah.
	So are we starting to connect the dots?
	Do we see the picture finally?
	This is exactly what we're doing.
	And of course, so we'll have your your your carbon footprint tracker built into this just like we chatted.
	So cool.
	No spam.
	Yeah, there'll be no spam because every single account will be a verified human being.
	So if you think Elon's dreaming trolls about no spam, there'll be no spam because you will not be able to Just create an account.
	These will all be verified.
	Your digital ID, all part of the app.
	And a couple other things need to change.
	Back to Davos, this is the e-safety commissioner from Australia, Julie Inman.
	And she says, you know, times have changed.
	We have to think about speech online.
	We are finding ourselves in a place where we have increasing polarization everywhere.
	And everything feels binary when it doesn't need to be.
	So I think we're going to have to think about a recalibration of a whole range of human rights that are playing out online, you know, from freedom of speech to the freedom to, you know, to be free from online violence or the right of data protection to the right to child dignity.
	So we need to recalibrate some of these human rights.
	What's online violence?
	It's usually what we say to each other before you start the show.
	That's the definition of online violence.
	What's online violence?
	Did you not know that words are- And what's freeze-freech?
	What's freeze-freech?
	Freeze-freech?
	Online violence is, uh, words are violent.
	Don't you- you know this, surely?
	Words, words, words can be violence.
	Yeah.
	So we'll have some recalibration.
	I thought silence was violence.
	You can't win, you can't win.
	I thought silence was violence but now words are violence?
	Yeah, oh yeah.
	It's online violence.
	Online violence, okay, you can't win.
	So I'm seeing a world where we are recalibrating this new app and recalibrating speech and You know, so we can do away with online violence.
	And we need to put some money in there.
	Well, everyone's all jacked about that.
	Here's a bunch of central bankers at Davos with the chairman of Credit Suisse.
	Do we have... This is a lady from CNN.
	Oh, by the way, all journalists are there, invited guests.
	They're working on behalf of the World Economic Forum.
	There's a New York Times, I think, deputy editor.
	She's an invited guest.
	Not their reporting, just a guest to participate, because it's like the Bilderberg drinking group, only it's better.
	better.
	A central bank digital coin out there in the world that is being utilized on a daily basis, whether it's wholesale or retail, and it becomes a superior system.
	By the way, a lot of these sessions and speeches at Davos, people think that it's really good to leave these long pauses for impact.
	It's...
	It sucks!
	We have several experiments which are not very far from that.
	They're not yet generalized, but they could be, let's say, in the next three years, probably.
	It will go quicker on the wholesale side, I guess, because it raises less sensitive questions.
	Yes, Axel.
	No, I'm glad to hear what you're saying, François, on the wholesale digital currency, not coin.
	I am also a believer that will come in five years, yes.
	What I try to say is obviously, you know, we still have those huge legacy environment.
	They need to migrate as well.
	So we will not yet see all the benefits coming through, but it will come and will be much more efficient.
	Also, probably much more secure.
	Transaction costs on the retail side are much more skeptical.
	Certainly call it for the established economies.
	Ed, the joke at Davos was SWIFT, the interbank payment network, will be completely gone in about five years.
	And they're very clear to point out, I don't think we'll quite roll it out to retail, so you know.
	But these guys are thinking banks, you know, central banks.
	They're not thinking treasuries.
	But okay.
	A lot of money.
	A lot of money rolling around.
	Billionaires everywhere during the pandemic.
	Lots of wealth creation, but also lots of wealth shifting.
	Saved or created.
	Saved or created.
	The executive director of Oxfam International was there to clearly beg for some money.
	No, it's a she.
	Well, that guy.
	Yeah.
	Oh, she's begging for money and wants the billionaires to pony up.
	Rising billionaires has been, you know, unprecedented during the pandemic.
	And there's been several sectors where that has been mostly concentrated.
	And one is, in fact, the pharma sector, because COVID has been one of the most profitable products ever.
	So that's one point to discuss.
	And our report out today is called Profiting from Pain.
	How those delays in making this technology available and really having people vaccinated early has contributed to that.
	But has also, as we said earlier, it's not only the direct health impacts, but it's the economic, social impacts on all parts of the population.
	And in reality, an increase in inequality reversing the trend of the last few years where Wow!
	That's a good stat.
	had reduced between rich countries and poor countries unfortunately now it has widened and and the statistic we're saying is every 30 hours a new billionaire was minted during the pandemic wow i didn't know that's a good stat every 30 hours she said a new billionaire was minted during the pandemic so let's go to the pandemics This is the final bit of Davos that I have for y'all.
	Vaccines, vaccines, technology, technology, and saving the world, and the only representative of the big pharma was the Pfizer CEO.
	No Johnson & Johnson, no AstraZeneca, no other people were there, just Pfizer.
	Only Pfizer, the CEO, Albert.
	Albert Bourla.
	And he's got a craw.
	I mean, it's like, hey, you know, we may have gotten really rich, but, you know, we have been trying to give all this stuff away for free, okay?
	But, you know, it's been hard because... Right now, for example, there are billions of doses of our vaccine, the vaccine that was used in Europe, in the US, that it is offered to low-income countries for free.
	Oh, you see, the problem is there's no educated population.
	by the European Union, but they're doing donations.
	So the U.S. government bought for us at cost, and they donated.
	They can't use them right now, because we discovered that one thing is supply, and the other thing is to have educated population that believe the vaccine is doing well.
	Oh, you see, the problem is there's no educated population.
	They don't believe in the vaccine, so we can't give it away.
	So they're uneducated dummies.
	Or did I hear that wrong?
	Well, it's hard to understand him, and that clip is slightly undermodulated, but I think you heard it right.
	So this next clip, it's one of the last.
	This will be even worse, because we now have this guy's accent, along with Schwab's accent.
	as they're clutching together about how they've both been extreme targets of dis and misinformation and anti-vaxxers.
	And oh, my.
	With a vaccine, we knew that there is a very fanatic group of anti-vaxxers that will go after us no matter what.
	They will claim that the sun didn't go up because people were vaccinated and that created issues with the crop.
	So I'm suing you.
	And one thing it is to sue you in the U.S.
	Another thing is to sue you in a country where the legal system is not up to that.
	So he's saying, you know, that people are suing us, and, you know, their legal systems, they're backwards, a-holes.
	So we can't have any of that?
	No, these anti-vaxxers are no good!
	The country, or the legal system, is not up to that standard, or in Switzerland, right?
	So, I think that's behind us.
	Everything went okay, and now I think we can move on.
	Everything went okay.
	We can move on now.
	I think we were both targets of the anti-vaccine movements and conspiracy people.
	Conspiracy people.
	Claiming that I had triple, I wonder what it is, triple COVID.
	And something else was, I think it got He's all, he's like, oh, I got hundreds of thousands of clicks.
	I'm so important.
	I'm so popular.
	People like to talk about me.
	I know you were also target.
	I read one day that was arrested by FBI.
	Yeah, same happened to me.
	And there are pictures, pictures of me and FBI officers.
	I don't know how, but I never said.
	The surprising thing it is that the same public case I found out because I had published the previous one that was arrested was the Pope.
	Yeah, so they both deliver the punchline for some reason.
	I think Schwab stole his punchline.
	At least I was in good company.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	So they both delivered the punchline for some reason.
	I think, I think Schwab stole his punchline.
	At least I was in good company anyway.
	Uh, so, you know, very, very flippant about people who disagree with the global vaccination mantras.
	But, of course, we need to just expand and continue.
	And Bill Gates, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, announced a very important partnership.
	Did you hear about the announcement?
	The partnership?
	No, I missed that one.
	Oh, everyone's talking about it.
	It's the big Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation partnership with Pfizer.
	Today's announcement is a strong additional commitment by Pfizer.
	He's already, oh no, there's a couple in here.
	So I just have to assume whenever Bill Gates laughs, because we've seen this in the past, you know, like, it'll just hurt a lot.
	Um, I gotta, I gotta presume he's thinking bullshit every single time.
	So when he says, um, today's announcement is a strong, maybe it isn't strong.
	Maybe it's, it's probably not strong.
	It's probably a bogus.
	This is bogus.
	It's bogus.
	That's what it is.
	Today's announcement is a strong additional commitment by Pfizer to take their incredible capabilities and make sure that they get out to everyone in the world.
	For all the drugs, they do create the commitment to have the COGS-based pricing.
	That will improve accessibility.
	What he's saying here is cost of goods.
	So they claim they'll be giving away vaccinate vaccines to poor countries just under the cost of goods.
	Pfizer's also committing to a partnership with the foundation to create new products.
	Two of those will be groupies streptococcus vaccine, which in future events we can brief you on how that will save hundreds of thousands of lives and likewise an rsd vaccine did he laugh at that again i think he laughed i didn't catch this I didn't catch the second laugh.
	Let me hear the second one.
	Two of those will be Group B streptococcus vaccine.
	Yeah, he's laughing at Group B streptococcus vaccine.
	I'm not getting it.
	And to create new products, two of those will be Group B streptococcus vaccine.
	It's a micro laugh.
	which in future events, we can brief you on how that will save hundreds.
	In future events, we can brief you on how that...
	What does he mean?
	Future Davos events or future pandemic events?
	That's a little unclear.
	Vaccine, which in future events, we can brief you on...
	Oh yeah, this is what we do.
	hundreds of thousands of lives and likewise an rsv vaccine these are vaccines you give to the maternal vaccines and so doing the trials exactly right yeah this maybe that's why i had a micro laugh oh yeah this is what we do we give these vaccines to expecting mother i'm sorry birthing persons so we can get it right into the fetus These are vaccines you give to the mother, maternal vaccines, and so doing the trials exactly right, uh...
	...requires the deep expertise that Pfizer has, so we're super pleased to work together with them.
	Super pleased.
	What, on faking documentation?
	Is that their expertise we're talking about?
	I think they're quite good at it, obviously.
	It's good.
	We're just going to stick with the vaccination just for a moment, because you cannot have the CEO of Pfizer at Davos without asking about the monkeypox.
	And listen, as the question's being asked, And me being a Tourette's specialist, you'll hear Bourla grunting and basically doing guttural ticks.
	He's not aware that it's being recorded quite loudly.
	This, to me, says he's very anxious about the question.
	You don't just start ticking for no reason like this, but it's very evident.
	In the UK, there is some worry around monkeypox.
	I don't know whether smallpox is a vaccine that Pfizer has.
	Oh, jeez!
	Give this guy some lithium.
	Lithium doesn't help, John.
	I'm an expert.
	I just threw the word out.
	I don't need the details.
	Fair, fair, fair, fair.
	There is some worry about monkeypox.
	I don't know whether smallpox is a vaccine that Pfizer has and what you would have any observations on the outbreaks we are seeing in Europe and America.
	It's causing some concern.
	Clearly, like everyone, we were alerted when we see the rise of some cases.
	We didn't have any before, and suddenly we do have.
	I'm not that worried right now, but that doesn't mean that we just relax.
	We are watching and monitoring very carefully.
	Looks like this is a situation that is not that transmissible, so very difficult to become a pandemic.
	And also looks like there are already medicine vaccines that can work now.
	We can debate if they can work.
	Pretty well, or if we need new generations.
	This is what exactly we are doing right now to see if there is a need so that you can intervene or not.
	So I would take that choking thing where he's having the Tourette's oral tick.
	And I would substitute the noises he's making with the word bullshit.
	That's what he wants to say.
	Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.
	Don't you think?
	Yeah, of course.
	So, Bill Gates' kicker at the end, this is the final Pfizer bit.
	Here's another announcement Pfizer made, and Bill was right there in the audience to tell everybody just how great this was and where it's going to surface.
	We are living in a time where science is increasingly demonstrating the ability to take on the world's most devastating diseases.
	Yeah, why don't you say that to Ray Liotta, who died in his sleep?
	Unfortunately, there exists a tremendous health equity gap in our world.
	Equity gap?
	That determines which of us can use these innovations and which of us cannot.
	Pay attention, because this is not about the vaccine.
	This is about the equity and the equitable distribution of the vaccine for a reason.
	With all we have learned and accomplished over the past two years, the time is now to begin closing this gap even more.
	In this spirit, Pfizer is excited and proud to launch an accord for a healthier world.
	Through this groundbreaking initiative, Pfizer will provide all its patented medicines and vaccines that are available in the U.S.
	or... By the way, Pfizer does not have the patent on the COVID-19 vaccine.
	That would be bio and tech, so a little gotcha there.
	And everything that we've patented, we'll give you for free.
	...the European Union.
	On a non-for-profit basis.
	Non-for-profit?
	That doesn't mean free.
	To 1.2 billion people living in 45 lower-income countries.
	I am also pleased to announce that we will continue to work with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation on the development of new vaccines and treatments for diseases that disproportionately impact people in low-income countries.
	So we're pleased to be working with Pfizer and we're talking to the entire pharmaceutical industry about these kinds of initiatives and how we can broaden them as part of the whole ESG effort.
	So in order to get to make keep Pfizer investable, they have to have an ESG score.
	Now, Pfizer, of course, uses a lot of petroleum based products.
	That's their that is their product.
	They just manipulate that into medicines.
	So very bad for their environmental social governance score on that tip.
	But you bring in the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, who will help broaden this to get it on the ESG train.
	Oh, good to go, baby.
	That's a new gimmick by Bill and Melinda Gates.
	Well, they are the ESG.
	Basically, you can fill up your company's tank with some Bill and Melinda ESG.
	That's great.
	It's very smart.
	I think so too.
	I mean, these people are geniuses.
	Yeah, evil.
	Douchebags.
	Douchebags.
	Douchebag geniuses.
	But still geniuses.
	Still geniuses.
	You gotta admit.
	So, final clip from Davos comes from an Israeli professor.
	I think he's a history professor.
	You all know Harari.
	Have you heard of him?
	No.
	I probably have.
	You probably have.
	He's been on 60 Minutes.
	I mean, he wrote the book, oh goodness, about people.
	About people?
	Yeah, about people.
	He wrote the book... What's his name?
	Give me his name.
	Sapiens.
	Harari.
	H-A-R-A-R-I.
	A Brief History of Humankind, Sapiens.
	It was a bestseller.
	Bestseller.
	Oh, this guy.
	Yeah, this guy.
	But he also happens to be a confidant and advisor, not just to the World Economic Forum, but to Klaus Schwab himself.
	This guy is not self-claimed, but from what I understand, he is the guy that sets a lot of Klaus Schwab's policy, which is the World Economic Forum is Klaus Schwab.
	Um, so I have a little, there's a fantastic interview, which is not the 60 minutes interview, uh, of the full length interviews in the show notes.
	Here's just about a minute 45 of clippings from hits.
	So you can get the idea.
	And this guy is revered.
	He, I mean, he's, he sells out auditoriums when he goes to talk.
	People love this guy.
	And here he is talking quite candidly in an, in a regular interview.
	The biggest question in, maybe in economics and politics is the interviewer.
	...of the coming decades will be what to do with all these useless people.
	I'm sorry, that's actually him.
	What to do with all these useless people.
	That will be the question for the decade.
	Yes, yes, it gets better.
	The biggest question maybe in economics and politics of the coming decades will be what to do with all these useless people.
	The problem is more boredom and what to do with them and how will they find some sense of meaning in life when they are basically meaningless, worthless.
	My best guess at present is a combination of drugs and computer games.
	This is really what these people believe.
	Is this actually a real clip or a fake?
	No, this is a real clip.
	No one in their right mind who's a bookseller, tries to sell books, would say what he just said.
	Maybe that's not his main source of income.
	Consider that.
	His main source of income could well be, you know, some intelligence agency.
	Or World Economic Forum or whatever.
	World Economic Forum or whatever.
	Even so.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Yeah, no, I hear you, but this is not deepfake.
	It's already happening.
	Under different titles, different headings, you see more and more people spending more and more time or solving their inner problems with drugs and computer games, both legal drugs and illegal drugs.
	You look at Japan today, and Japan is maybe 20 years ahead of the world in everything.
	You were talking about Japan earlier.
	So, Russia won't become Japan.
	I think the entire Western world, starting with Europe, will become Japan.
	It'll be just like Japan, without the sushi.
	And you see all these new social phenomenon of people having relationships with virtual spouses.
	And you have people who never leave the house and just live through computers.
	I think once you're superfluous, you don't have power.
	Again, we're used to the age of the masters of the 19th and 20th century, where you saw all these successful massive uprisings, revolutions, revolts.
	So we are used to thinking about the masses as powerful.
	But this is basically a 19th century, a 20th century phenomenon.
	I don't think that the masses, even if they somehow organize themselves, stand much of a chance.
	We are not in Russia of 1917 or in 19th century Europe.
	What we are talking about now is like a second industrial revolution, but the product this time will not be textiles or machines or vehicles or even weapons.
	The product this time will be humans themselves.
	We're basically learning to produce bodies and minds.
	Bodies and minds are going to be, I think, the two main products of the next wave of all these changes.
	That is optional.
	Again, if you think about it from the viewpoint of the poor, it looks terrible.
	It looks what?
	It looks terrible for the poor.
	I love this guy!
	This is it!
	So this character was one of the few Israelis...
	Uh, who deferred mandatory, I never knew you could do this, military service in the Israeli Defense Forces to pursue university studies, which I guess you could do as a deferment for a while.
	And then he managed to get out of the whole thing for some health issue.
	Yeah, his brain is corrupt.
	He's studying history and international studies at the Hebrew University.
	This is a guy to keep your eye on.
	He's the one whispering all this stuff into Schwab's ear, but he's revered.
	This is not a secret.
	This guy is well-known, and this is what he's saying.
	It's useless people, and we're already there.
	And the thing I liked was, oh, the masses don't matter anymore.
	We've already captured them.
	They're already playing video games.
	They're online.
	Wait, you get this clip.
	Well, someone sent me... Look, I've been looking at this guy for a while.
	And one of our producers said, oh, look at... And they sent me the supercut, which I had to re-edit because, you know, they had sound effects and shit.
	But I said, I can't use it until I find the full interview.
	And he found the full interview through Bing it.
	Bing, believe it or not.
	And the whole thing, it's 45 minutes.
	It's well worth watching.
	Well, I need the source.
	The source?
	Yeah, I need the source of the interview.
	Okay.
	Well, I mean, you can also get a lot of, not quite as, as good as this.
	I need that.
	I need those quotes.
	I want to use it for a column and I need the source of the interview.
	I just can't, this is random.
	So you got to, whoever got you that or, or you're going to use that for something.
	I have, I have the full video, 41, 33 minutes, 33 seconds.
	Oh, okay.
	I'll just take a look at that.
	I'll track it down.
	Daniel Cayman Sorlesi.
	I don't know who that is, but it's a, it's a, it's a full video.
	Are we up to 5 million podcasters yet?
	No.
	Why?
	I'm just wondering.
	I think this is a big moment.
	Why do you say this?
	Because it sounds like you got one of your pod... that sounds like... wherever this was done it sounds like a podcast or something that was turned into a podcast.
	No, it's a video.
	Lost to oblivion, the fact that you have it in the first place is astonishing.
	We're still over 4 million.
	We're not at 5 million yet.
	This is a video interview.
	So you can go watch it and you can go quote him.
	But this is kind of how these people think.
	These people are horrible individuals.
	They're the worst kind of elitist.
	And they're all a bunch of monarchs off with their heads.
	Well, this is what he said.
	He said, we're already beyond that.
	The masses don't matter anymore.
	This is not, you know, 18th or 17th century Russia.
	Everyone's sitting, is on their screen, is sitting at home, yelling on Twitter at each other.
	The masses don't get up.
	The masses don't do anything.
	There's no masses to go and combat all these idiots.
	We're doomed!
	Doomed!
	The masses rise up every so often and guys like this end up on lanyards.
	And not the conference kind.
	Not the ones around you.
	But around your neck is involved.
	So, this is what I mean when there's other things to look at than Amber Heard and Johnny Depp.
	They are preparing for stuff.
	And if we don't have a massive uprising eventually, we're just going to slip right into it.
	Okay, whatever.
	Oh, it's okay, ESG.
	I'll be a good little doobie.
	I mean, did you hear about the HSBC guy who got fired because he did a presentation?
	I think it was for a session sponsored by Financial Times.
	And he said, climate change is bullshit from a... You want to hear it?
	His name is Kirk, Stuart Kirk.
	Can you imagine how many times we'd be fired?
	Oh my goodness!
	That presentation you just did would get you fired immediately.
	Here he is kicking off his 15 minute presentation which got him fired immediately.
	Climate change is not a financial risk that we need to worry about.
	If you start off like that, how well do you think it's going to go for your career when you're working at HSBC, one of the most corrupt institutions?
	Hello, James Comey.
	And you're going against the narrative of climate change for your investors.
	Heresy.
	I completely get that there is a competition for funding.
	I completely get that at the end of your central bank career, there are still many, many years to fill in.
	You've got to say something.
	You've got to fly around the world to conferences.
	You've got to out-hyperbole the next guy.
	But I feel like it's getting a little bit out of hand.
	How do you think that works for this audience?
	You know, once you're done at your cushy central bank job, which of course you've been trading on the side, making all kinds of money, hello Fed, you still have to continue to be a douchebag and fly around the world and create more hyperbole than the next guy.
	What he's saying is climate change is perfect for you and you're a douchebag for doing it.
	The constant reminder that we are doomed, the constant reminder that within decades it's all over.
	And indeed, Sharon said we are not going to survive.
	And indeed, no one ran from the room.
	In fact, most of you barely looked up from your mobile phones at the prospect of non-survival.
	He's referring to the presentation that came before him when it was one of those.
	If we don't invest in climate change right now and renewables, we're all going to die.
	It's become so hyperbolic that no one really knows how to get anyone's attention at all.
	Now, I wouldn't normally mind that.
	25 years in the finance industry, there's always some nutjob telling me about the end of the world.
	I've dealt with gold bugs my whole financial career.
	The roof's gonna cave down.
	Y2K.
	Does anyone remember Y2K?
	Anyone old enough?
	The lifts didn't stop.
	You know what?
	He could be a fill-in-for-no-agenda with that talk.
	Yeah, well, he promises.
	Yeah, his entertainment value is lacking.
	No, he has no entertainment value.
	But, I mean, do you want to hear his other two points?
	He's dead serious.
	His other two points were kind of good.
	So he proves this by showing a chart and he says, you know, the climate catastrophe, it doesn't make sense.
	If we're really all going to die, then I don't understand how pricing works.
	Proportionality is completely out of whack.
	Now, interestingly, at the moment, markets Agree, more or less, with me.
	Despite the hyperbole, and this is a fun slide I put up just to annoy people, the more people say the world is going to end, and here I've looked at the number of incidences in all press around the world that use climate catastrophe, the number of times the phrase climate catastrophe is mentioned around the world, the higher and higher and higher risk assets go.
	I have a link to the video in the show notes.
	What he's saying is actually what they're saying behind closed doors.
	Yeah.
	The problem that he has is he's not saying it behind closed doors.
	Yeah.
	He thinks he's saying it behind closed doors because it's, you know, at an investor, you know, FT conference, it's Davos.
	It's not behind closed doors.
	If it's being recorded.
	Well, this is his mistake, of course, his mistake.
	Perhaps an even better example is this one.
	For most companies with stranded assets, and even for tech, the valuation does not take into account anything that happens after about year 20.
	At a big bank like ours, at HSBC, what do people think the average loan length is?
	It's six years.
	What happens to the planet in year seven is actually irrelevant to our loan book.
	What happens in year seven is more or less irrelevant.
	Now the smarter ones will know, among you will know, for a growth company, there's a terminal value and all of that sort of stuff.
	But in general, these sorts of companies aren't growing very fast.
	So the debate about what happens out here, from a financial risk perspective, It's irrelevant.
	Don't care.
	What he's saying is, geez, if we're all really going to die in seven or eight years, if it's going to be out of control and the climate catastrophe is upon us, then we wouldn't see the loan book being super strong for 20 years.
	It would drop off in seven or eight years.
	That's very analogous to you can still get a home insurance and a mortgage for 30 years in Florida.
	No one's saying, ah man, you got to do a ten year.
	We actually just want to do a five year with you because, you know, climate change and the fish will be flopping on the street and we won't get our money out of it.
	No.
	Other people have pointed out the fact that in some areas along the coast where the water is supposedly rising, I don't see any evidence of it here and I can see the water.
	Why don't they say, we can't insure you because you're going to be flooded out, no doubt about it, in five by 2012.
	Right.
	For the same reason that Obama has a waterfront home.
	Martha's Vineyard.
	Perfect.
	All right, final one is he explains how it's done.
	He says the models are rigged.
	We rigged the models.
	First thing they do is they absolutely trash GDP growth.
	Minus one, minus three, minus three again.
	That's never happened in my life.
	That's never happened ever.
	More fun is they do, and across all the scenarios, what they've done is a gigantic interest rate shock.
	All the Bank of England and central bank scenarios on climate risk to get a nasty number, they have given the financial sector a whopping great interest rate shock.
	And they never talk about it.
	It's all in the back of all the documents.
	You can read it.
	Very easy to make a bank look sick.
	If you destroy their fixed income portfolio.
	And that's what they do.
	So even with a carbon tax, even hitting growth, they couldn't make climate risk move the needle.
	So they had to get their clever little wonks in the back room to put a gigantic interest rate shock through their models in order to make headlines.
	That is not reported very much either.
	Well, we appreciate it.
	I would like to I need this this whole thing because I have to understand what he just said there.
	Because I didn't.
	Yeah.
	Well, yeah, I'm sorry.
	It works better with the chart, but what he's saying is in order to make the climate crisis look like a real crisis in their financial models, They have, you know, it's like the N number.
	Well, we're going to say that the GDP of the world is going to go minus 2, minus 3, which is quite a number.
	And because that's not even enough to make climate change, the climate catastrophe look as like this huge devastating event, they price in like a 20% interest rate at the time that that's happening.
	Which could actually happen, of course, but, you know, it's all futzed in the back page.
	Like, oh, and by the way, here's how the model works.
	You know, we put in a minus three for GDP and we put in 20% interest rates.
	It's bullshit!
	We've said bullshit a lot on this show.
	Well, when you have a lot of phony balonies from Davos, you're going to have to say it a lot.
	That's interesting.
	I like this guy.
	He'll get work.
	Yeah, as a podcaster.
	Well, this is work!
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage, saying good morning to you, the man who put the sea in the climate bullcrap!
	Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. John C. DeVore!
	Hey, good morning to all the trolls who've been very patient with us today.
	We've had a couple of outages.
	Good to see you sticking in there with us, trolls.
	We do love you.
	They're at trollroom.io.
	Let's see how many we have.
	Hands up there, trolls!
	Let me see what we got.
	We got 1768 on the Troll-O-Meter.
	1768.
	I think a lot dropped off because we were dropping off.
	I mean, it's practically midnight here.
	No technical issues.
	But we do love having trolls around because they entertain, they sometimes have very good points, salient messaging, and of course trolling.
	But also one-liners from time to time, so we love having you here.
	Trollroom.io is where you can congregate and be counted!
	Be counted as a troll!
	Make sure you show up in the troll room on show days.
	And you can listen live to the best podcast network in the universe, No Agenda Stream.
	Also findable at noagendastream.com.
	This show is live.
	Darren O'Neill's Rock and Roll Pre-Show is live, but also shows that are just recorded and you can enjoy and troll about and learn about and subscribe to and enjoy.
	It's part of our Gitmo Nation community.
	We also have our social network, noagendasocial.com, which is particularly when Elon Musk either buys Twitter to turn it into WeChat, or if he creates one from scratch, you know, just look at the advertising model.
	He's ruined it.
	He's broken it.
	All the technology stocks that have advertising business got punished.
	Uh, the day before yesterday.
	Uh, because, you know, advertising.
	It's, uh, it's, it's bullshit.
	You know, the moral of this is coming around to your side.
	Finally!
	And it's because Elon basically said 95% is bullshit, right?
	Nah, it's a combination of ingredients, but that's part of it.
	Well, what's he coming around to?
	What is his... The idea that this is some sort of a phony scam that Elon's trying to pull here to ruin Twitter.
	Which is to summarize your position.
	Yes, I use the word destroy, but yes, that is exactly what I say.
	To ruin.
	Ruin is not strong enough.
	But I think he's ruining the whole online advertising model with it.
	You saw... Well, I point out that this has happened before this happened in 99.
	The .com collapse happened then.
	And it was because Pets.com was full of crap.
	Well, not just Pets.com.
	And Mark Cuban sold Broadcast.com for $2 billion.
	Talk about a bunch of crap.
	I'm mad at that.
	As you know.
	Anyone could have done that.
	He did it.
	He did it.
	No, I know.
	I know.
	So now, you know, Snapchat came out and said, hey, we expect bad advertising numbers.
	OK, well, that's not working then.
	And, you know, advertisers are going, well, why should I advertise on Twitter if it might be, could be 5% bots, could be 95% bots?
	I think I'll hold my money.
	This advertising thing on the Internet, on online advertising, Mm-hmm.
	Has collapsed before and it always, always comes back.
	Okay.
	It's had blips before.
	Yeah.
	Sure.
	Comes back because the bullshit sells.
	Yeah, some of it definitely sells.
	Definitely.
	But the brand advertising is pulling back and that, by the way, this is... No, I'm not talking about them.
	I'm talking about the other side saying, hey, no, our numbers are good.
	And then they create phony baloney operations that confirm that the numbers are real.
	Yeah, of course.
	Get a couple of those going.
	Yeah.
	That would be a good business for us.
	Wait, explain the business.
	Does it involve... It's the Nielsen for online.
	There's two or three.
	There's the standard board, the this, the that.
	There's a bunch of... Interactive advertising board.
	Adobe got into it.
	Everybody's trying to do it.
	Yeah, yeah.
	So they all do it.
	So yeah, yeah, yeah.
	No, we have the ability.
	We have the metrics.
	We have the capabilities.
	We have the technology.
	We have the technology that allows us to see if people are actually watching these videos.
	Yeah, we don't.
	No, we do.
	We have it.
	Oh, we have it.
	I'm sorry.
	We have it.
	Yeah, we have it.
	Oh, we.
	You, me, you and I. Put your story together.
	Okay, we have it.
	Yes, we have the technology.
	Yes, we can actually do it.
	And you can pinpoint that.
	And you know how we can do that?
	What they're watching.
	We can do that.
	We can see where they're pausing and we can see what they're looking at twice.
	We know exactly where their head's at.
	We can give you that person as a viewer.
	Individual.
	Right down to their social security number.
	Yeah, we got it.
	Nailed it.
	Eventually, someone will be able to.
	Google is probably doing a version of that.
	Well, we don't... Homie, don't play that over here because, you know, I also don't believe the $1 billion in advertising that's apparently in podcasting.
	That sounds like bullshit to me.
	And that's the last time I'm going to say it for this show.
	And luckily, we don't take advertising because, as you said, we would have been fired, done, out of here, couldn't... I mean, years and years and years ago.
	And that's why we went value for value.
	There would be no show.
	There would be no show.
	And there would be no show if people didn't support us throughout the years, and luckily they do.
	This is why we've gone full value for value almost from week three or whatever it is.
	You determine what the value is.
	It's an intangible product.
	We're not going to let Silicon Valley determine that it's 99 cents or even $99.
	That's got to be up to you, the person who receives it.
	And all you have to do to complete the circle is to Send us some value back.
	It's that simple.
	One of the ways you can send value is what our artists do.
	Our artists make, we have the three T's, time, talent, treasure, so they definitely put the time and talent in to create artwork.
	And I'd like to thank, I think it was two in a row, yeah, the artists for episode 1453.
	That would be, once again, Capitalist Agenda.
	Is that two in a row?
	Or three?
	No, wait a minute.
	Was it Capitalist Agenda on the last one?
	Wait a minute.
	Now I'm confused.
	Let me double check.
	I think not.
	Um, Capitalist Agenda definitely had the last one.
	Let me see.
	1452.
	That was also Capitalist Agenda.
	Yeah, it's two in a row.
	So he had the two... Did he do 1451?
	Was it three in a row?
	You mean 14... Well, let's take a look.
	Texas Balls, the title of that one.
	And that art was done by... Capitalist Agenda!
	He's done the hat trick!
	That hasn't happened in a blue moon.
	Yeah, that goes way back.
	That goes to Martin J.J.
	era.
	My goodness.
	Congratulations, Capitalist Agenda.
	On a roll.
	Now, does he automatically get banned from even winning now?
	I mean, what Martin J.J.
	used to do, I remember this, he'd say, I'm not doing art for this episode.
	No, that's because he'd won like out of like 20, he won like 18 of them.
	He did.
	It was crazy.
	And I always like to point out, and I'll point it out again, Wait a minute.
	Wait a minute.
	I'm saying that this was no hat trick.
	I'm saying there was no hat trick?
	I don't know.
	Oh, he didn't get 1453.
	Why does it not say capitalist agenda?
	Maybe my credit is wrong.
	Okay, well your credit could be wrong.
	Let me see.
	Yep, you're right.
	Tantaniel.
	No, I'm sorry.
	We take it back.
	He can still compete.
	He's still in the game.
	That was my mistake.
	The shoehorn event was done by Tantaniel.
	Sorry for the stolen valor, Tantaniel.
	So this was the... That's right, I remember.
	Yeah, my mistake.
	Oh boy, I got excited there.
	Yeah, you were all jacked up.
	I was.
	This is the No Agenda... No Agenda Snuff.
	Snuff it out.
	Uh, the tin?
	The tin with, uh, with snuff and it was just, it was well done.
	This is one of these product shots that we really love as artwork.
	It always, and also with the white background.
	Yeah.
	Did you see she had the, she also has a little bit of drop shadow there.
	Which makes it look great on the white face.
	Yeah, we talked about the shadow could have been a little more extreme.
	We talked about a number of pieces of art.
	Let me just see what we, and you can follow along.
	I like the piece.
	I like the, the Nestworks piece sponsoring the BLT community, which I thought was hilarious.
	And then I, like the other Tantaniel piece that had no title, it was just a pop, a sucker or something, you know, a little round ball of candy.
	But that wasn't going to work.
	It was too small.
	I like the stolen LGBT, the stolen G from Comic Strip Blogger.
	Yeah, you liked it.
	You were a big fan of the Comic Strip Blogger one, but I thought the thing had a... You're homophobe.
	It was a little... You're just a homophobe.
	The thing with the Nestworks is supporting the BLT community.
	I think it was so inside, you really had to listen.
	We can do that with a title.
	That's what you said during the discussion.
	Yeah, I felt a little bit too much.
	I didn't think it mattered.
	I thought it was a pretty piece, and that was that.
	You know, it's not all about pretty.
	Says you.
	Yeah, I do says.
	There's some good stuff.
	Uh, I, I used a piece.
	I didn't even remember seeing it.
	I used it for the newsletter.
	The, uh, the super spreader event, uh, Sir Net Ned did with a bunch of, yeah, with the monkey in the middle.
	Uh, the one that got the biggest laugh from both of us was Sir Net Ned's horse play with the, uh, the stewardess massaging Elon Musk with the horse looking.
	What was that?
	New Sir Net Ned.
	Oh, that one.
	Newest Elon.
	Yeah.
	You want a free horse?
	The thing that was, it was cute because the, because, because of the horse in the background.
	Why didn't we choose that?
	I, there was a reason.
	We had a good reason.
	He was it was a little creepy.
	It was a little creepy.
	Yes, well, there was that.
	Maybe that was it.
	Oh, what are we drinking?
	Is the paps back?
	Or is this some?
	This is signature seltzer water.
	Oh, very good.
	You know, that'll actually dehydrate you.
	Because the carbonation you want to drink just regular water during the show.
	It's just a podcaster tip.
	It will make you burp.
	I remember back in the day I was told... Oh yeah, because I used to drink... On Silicon Spin I used to drink Coke.
	Really?
	You drank Coca-Cola?
	Yeah.
	Diet?
	Diet or regular?
	It was diet.
	Oh, goodness.
	With aspartame?
	Oh, man.
	Yeah.
	It made you gain weight, too, so I got fat.
	But I like sparkling stuff.
	So I had this... No, no, no.
	The consultant that was always floating around telling us what we're doing wrong.
	No, no, no.
	You're supposed to drink water.
	You're not doing it right.
	Don't drink anything but water.
	I said, oh, I could drink water.
	And she said, and it has to be tepid.
	It has to be slightly warm.
	Tepid.
	Because otherwise it makes you, it gives you congestion like I have now.
	And so I said, so I'm going to be up there, you know, in a show that was, you know, it wasn't appreciative of the show, I guess.
	And I'm going to be drinking tepid water, like, you know, warm water.
	That's not happening.
	Speaking of, speaking of tepid.
	We went to the PO Box yesterday and got my No Agenda Tea Club kit.
	This is quite spectacular, actually.
	The tea is indeed grown in Portugal.
	That's what he says.
	Yeah, and our producer, and it's noagendatea.club.
	He's at noagendatea.club.
	Yeah, he's moving to somewhere in South America, and his wife's already there, and they're going to grow their own tea.
	I mean, he's really staked a lot on this noagenda tea club.
	But I just want to say I appreciate it because have you had any of the tea yet?
	Yes, it's very good.
	It's good tea.
	I like the names.
	What, no gender tea?
	No, if you look at the tins, he has Black Leaves Matter.
	Yeah, he's got a lot of puns.
	White Supremacy.
	I mean, it's funny, but it's also tasty.
	So I just want to give him a plug because I think that's nice.
	And I actually had some.
	I tried a little bit.
	Instead of coffee first.
	I had no idea that they grew tea in Portugal, but why not?
	Yeah.
	And maybe you can start a tea plantation someplace other than India.
	India is where most of the tea seems to be grown, not in China.
	Yeah, India is shutting down, man.
	They're cutting off everything.
	That's the first thing.
	The next thing they'll cut off is no tea.
	They're already cutting down on wheat and everything else they got.
	Anything they got, they don't want to export it now.
	I'm surprised that he could get it from Portugal to the U.S.
	for some reason.
	It didn't feel like an easy thing to do.
	It came with the Portuguese, although it passed, it didn't have to collect customs or anything.
	No!
	Well, anyway.
	Again, thank you to Tantaniel for the artwork for episode 1453.
	We appreciate that.
	If you weren't playing along at noagenartgenerator.com, which if you're listening live, people like doing that, as the artists are adding art on the fly, trying to figure out what will it be?
	What will that one thing be that compels us to pick something from a topic in the show?
	And we already have like six or seven pieces up.
	It's amazing.
	Now you can use a modern podcast app, newpodcastapps.com.
	You get all of these in the podcast while you're playing it, chapter markers with these images, transcripts, all kinds of fun things to look at.
	Check out PodVerse today.
	PodVerse is, and I say PodVerse because PodVerse has spent a lot of time, not just on the podcasting 2.0 features, but also on accessibility.
	So our blind listeners, Try it out with your screen reading software.
	Let me know how that works.
	Mitch is very into that.
	Now let's thank our producers, executive and associate executive producers alike, for episode, well, for becoming producers of this episode, 1454.
	We kick it off with Anonymous Spirit of the Northwoods, which makes sense in Tomahawk, Wisconsin, 523.23.
	It sounds like there's some kind of reason for this numerology.
	Anonymous, in the morning, fellas.
	I'll follow up shortly with another donation for my wife and I's 30th and knighthood.
	Today, just need some jobs karma sprinkled with some no bullshit karma.
	Well, we had a lot of BS so far, so hopefully that'll work.
	On numerology, here we go.
	The 523.23 was for the late great Big Nasty who was born on 523 and played basketball as number 23 and died of cancer three years ago at the tender age of 22.
	Are you familiar with the Big Nasty?
	Who was the Big Nasty?
	I don't know.
	Oh, he says the late, great, big, nasty.
	I would figure that that would be someone we know about.
	He was a hilarious and special young man.
	Oh, here we go.
	And was my son's best friend and part of our family.
	Now I get it.
	I miss him every day.
	Yesterday was a celebration fundraiser for his scholarship funds and dedication of a community basketball court constructed in his honor in Cassin, Minnesota.
	Pictures below are his headstone and his family.
	Thanks for all you do.
	Hopefully this was short enough.
	Thanks, Spirit of the Northwoods.
	Very good.
	And we will do the Jobs Karma and the No Bullshit Karma.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Karma.
	Greg Carlwood in San Diego, 42033.
	Greg Carlwood from the Higher Side Chats podcast here, making up for lost time.
	You guys are the best and I very much appreciate the show as well as everything Adam is doing with Podcasting 2.0.
	I've been listening for years and I still hear jingles in this segment that I've never heard.
	How about pulling out an old favorite from the list that hasn't made it out in a while?
	Other than that, just wishing everyone safe passage in their troubled times.
	It's getting hard out here for a pimp.
	All right.
	I'm gonna pull one from ep- I'm just random.
	A jingle from episode 460.
	It's a banana.
	Bananza.
	Bananza, banana, bandana.
	Long as you don't have to wait anymore.
	I didn't know we had that one.
	You've got karma.
	Doesn't even sound like a No Agenda jingle.
	Thank you, Greg.
	Mark Davies is next from Mamaku in New Zealand, 350.
	And by the way, Greg, your 420 was recognized and acknowledged.
	Mark says, in the morning, gentlemen, please accept my first donation of 350 New Zealand dollars.
	Yes, we do recognize those as full-on dollars.
	He says I'm in need of a de-douching.
	You've been de-douched.
	Been listening since November 2019 after seeing John's name in a Spotify recommended podcast list.
	Well, that should not have happened because this show, at least, is not in Spotify.
	If you find it there, let us know.
	It's illegal, they're breaking the law, and they owe us money.
	He was my favorite contributor on Twit.
	So I gave it a listen and haven't looked back.
	You're clearly not listening on Spotify anymore.
	I'd like to know what you're using.
	It was just in time to catch all the COVID nonsense and you guys have kept me and my family sane here in communist New Zealand.
	As a result of the mandates, my wife lost her job as an ultrasound technician and we had to sell our house.
	Oh man.
	We took advantage of the market and now live less than an hour from where we were and are mortgage-free.
	There you go.
	My beautiful wife now homeschools our three human resources.
	Excellent.
	And I work for a company building tiny houses on wheels.
	You're like, no agenda.
	Call it a trailer.
	No, it's not a trailer.
	There seems to be a growing movement of people downsizing and we have plenty of work.
	Indeed.
	Thanks for helping us resist the incessant COVID propaganda.
	We get over here.
	Please call out Cindy Weeks as a douchebag.
	At jingle request, I'd like some noodle gun.
	That's for his daughter, Anna, who's 14.
	And respect from Al Sharpton.
	No karma.
	Blessings, Mark Davies in Mamaku, New Zealand.
	I'm gonna shoot you in the face with my noodle gun, you racist piece of shit.
	I got my pasta glock locked and loaded.
	R-E-S-P-I-C-T.
	Joe Dirks is next.
	And he's in Amsterdam.
	$333.88.
	And his note says, Joe Dirks, Amsterdam, Nederland.
	Ah, he gets it.
	Thanks, Joe.
	Appreciate that.
	Devin Wood in Elko, Nevada.
	333.33 in the morning to you two.
	Firstly, Adam, after your excellent coverage of the Calurgi plan and the great replacement that the media is too lazy or unwilling to report on in episode 1452, I realized I would be a douchebag amongst douchebags if I didn't donate, so please de-douche me.
	You've been de-douched.
	To supplement what you were saying, Adam, I was really excited because I knew what the quote you couldn't bring to mind was...
	You played it before, the audio of Barbara Lerner Spector saying in reference to immigration and multiculturalism in Europe that, quote, Jews are going to be at the center of that.
	I just want to say it's been a blast listening to you two in my travel since my last donation.
	My new job has taken me all over Nevada with many hours.
	Is it Nevada or Nevada?
	I think it's Nevada.
	Is it Nevada?
	It's Nevada.
	Did the Nevadians say Nevada?
	Yeah.
	I was from Nevada.
	I'll take one of those yak karmas that are in vogue now and I'll see you in a couple of weeks since I'm fixing to give myself a knighthood for my birthday.
	without you.
	So thanks to you both for doing the work.
	I'm just too lazy to do myself.
	I'll take one of those yak karmas that are in vogue now, and I'll see you in a couple of weeks since I'm fixing to give myself a knighthood for my birthday.
	From douchebag to knighthood.
	How about that?
	Until next time, you've got steel-toed boots on the ground here in Northeast Nevada.
	As always, best regards, Devon Woods.
	You've got...
	Sounds like someone with bad gas.
	Sir Gene Duke of Texas in Austin, Texas.
	Our buddy.
	He's also the sheriff.
	333-33.
	And he has a nice note that just says, Sir Gene Duke of Texas birthday donation.
	Go Putin!
	Please play Atlas Shrugged.
	He's on the birthday list, of course.
	Sir Gene, Duke of Texas.
	I was just talking to him yesterday.
	I said, dude, you better come out here.
	His work came back, so he's been really, really busy.
	We'll get him out here.
	Thank you, Sir Gene.
	Sir Long the Good is in Collieville, Texas.
	Also, our favorite number, 333.33.
	Anonymous.
	Night name only.
	Yes, we got that.
	Sir Long the Good.
	Requesting extra strength.
	Land buying karma.
	I also wish to claim my title of Viscount Sir Long the Good, Baron of the Ozarks, Protector of the Electrons.
	And hereby granted.
	So here's your land buying karma.
	You've got karma.
	I got the next three.
	Richard Cook in Canton, Georgia.
	33333.
	See?
	Email.
	There is no email in my box.
	Is there's in yours?
	You can read it.
	No, it went to yours, it's very clear, it went to your email.
	Yeah, that's it.
	Jim Schneeberger, Sir Jim Bobway, in Cary, North Carolina, 333.
	There's nothing from him, so we'll just give him the, what's the karma, double karma?
	Yeah, hold on a second.
	No note.
	Nah, we need the double karma, that's a good one.
	You've got I see Parker in Hamburg, New York, 333.
	Sending short a donation email to Jonatdvark.org.
	Thank you.
	Uh, I don't have it.
	Uh, and then, oh, we got one more, which is Elizabeth Beckett, uh, in Yateley, Hampshire, UK, 333.
	And there's nothing from her, so she gets the double karma.
	You've got.
	Farmlot.
	We go to... That'll get old fast.
	Yeah, not really.
	We go to Eflin, North Carolina, 333, James Green, who says, I publicly apologize to my smoking hot wife, Gabby, for my bromantic relationship with J.C.D.
	and Adam.
	Sounds like someone got cornholed.
	Or something.
	Yeah, thanks, James.
	Yeah, Francie Silva comes in next with $300.
	And she says, hello, handsome lads.
	I almost said lansome hats.
	Lansome hats?
	We're the lansome hats.
	Since no agenda, karma cured my grandfather's cancer.
	She has a trademark on that.
	That's pretty good.
	Whoa.
	I'd like to request a booster.
	Please jab my grandmother Kathy's amygdala with $250 worth of karma for her health and upcoming surgery and $50 worth of karma for grandpa's continuing cancer-free cancer freeness.
	My smolderingly sexy husband Tristan asked me to deduce him.
	Oh, but wait, he can do that himself.
	More money for you.
	Sorry for the length.
	Love the show.
	Wish you were my dads.
	It was good up until that moment.
	Cause you know, she's like 45 and like, oh man, are we down with that?
	We are the old guys.
	You wish you were your dads.
	Gay dads too, I bet.
	Oh yeah.
	We'd be great as gay dads.
	Oh, for sure.
	Sure.
	Hey, we're going to double down on that for you.
	You've got karma.
	Francie Silva?
	Francie Silva has two dads.
	Tony Marengo is in Chicago, Illinois, 291.04.
	What could this be for?
	Well, he says, I can't express to you both how much your show means to my smoking hot wife, Kate, and I, but I will try.
	Both of your combined insight into media deconstruction is exceptional.
	To say it has greatly impacted our lives would be grossly understated.
	Your show has it all.
	Highlighting hypocrisy, illuminating idiocy, plus catchy jingles to boot.
	Truly the best podcast in the universe.
	I've been a listener since the very start and began my 12.12 per month donation nine years ago.
	Due to my wife's unwavering insistence that I claim my hookers and blow, I've decided to indulge.
	This donation of 291.04 will put me at the baronet level and I shall be known as Sir Tony in Chicago.
	Please find accounting included, along with a cute picture of us giving Adam a Rick Perry Adios Mofo t-shirt I made for the original Hot Pockets Tour back in 2008.
	How about that?
	That's very cool.
	No jingles, but give me an R2-D2 Karma for my Chicago No Agenda family.
	Keep shrinking, amigolas, and stay safe, boys!
	Tony Marengo.
	Thank you, Tony.
	You've got... Karma.
	Nicholas Soller in Palmyra, Pennsylvania.
	Palmyra.
	$250.05.
	I'm sorry about pronouncing his name that way because he sent a note specifically about the pronunciation and I forgot what it was.
	It worked well.
	I think what I said was right.
	Sailor Soller.
	Yeah.
	Man, I was out of it last time.
	Sorry.
	Talking about his previous donation.
	Uh, sorry.
	One thing I want to say is the entertainment is strong as you and unreal.
	No, the entitlement.
	He says the entitlement.
	Entitlement.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Let's start over.
	Yeah.
	Only thing I want to say is the entitlement is strong and unreal.
	Okay.
	As a longtime douchebag producer of the show.
	Oh, I see what he's talking about.
	I'm disgusted by myself.
	I love the donation segment.
	Let's not turn it into a competition.
	He grossed himself out.
	Excellent.
	Thank you, Nicholas.
	I love it when people get it.
	Uh, Grand Prairie, Texas is where you find Casey Gray.
	$250 associate executive producership, and thank you for that.
	In the morning, crackin' buzz?
	My eight-year-old human resource, Colette, loves the donation segment for the jingles and karma.
	She'll walk around saying, you've been de-douched, which my wife hates and I love.
	Can I get an R2-D2 karma?
	It's her favorite.
	Thanks.
	Yes, of course we have that, Colette.
	You've got.
	I can just imagine, mom.
	Careful with that.
	Let's teach her something else.
	You've been de-douched.
	You've been de-douched.
	We actually got a new one.
	Let me see.
	One of our producers abused their child.
	This is four-year-old Vivian.
	Don't make me eat bugs, Joe Biden.
	Could you understand her?
	I got the Joe Biden, but don't make me what?
	Eat bugs.
	Don't make me eat bugs, Joe Biden!
	It needs a little enunciation, but it's very close to being great.
	Very close.
	Uh, Cory, uh, Laperouse in St.
	Augustine, Florida, 227.
	For my first executive producer donation, I'd like to shill ReactionWatch.com.
	Retraction Watch.
	I actually subscribed to Retraction Watch.
	I sent you this to say, I think.
	No.
	RetractionWatch.com.
	Yeah, they have an RSS feed and it's all of the studies that are retracted because they're bullshit.
	Oh, I did it again.
	You're on a roll.
	If you want to know how many scientific studies are pissed away or outright fraud, this is the place.
	The site's current number of retracted papers on the COOF is 227, which is the inspiration for my donation, $227.
	Thank you for all you do, and I'd like yak karma for everyone needing it, please.
	Best regards, Kate Corey.
	Yeah, on that for a moment, there's a great article which appeared in the National Library of Medicine, which is a part of the National Institute of Health.
	Oh my goodness, did they just take it down?
	Oh my gosh!
	No, here it is.
	It was published on April 22nd, which I had not seen, but it's a full article, COVID update, what is the truth?
	And it's on the NIH website, which is so interesting, but it's all about the lies, the bullcrap studies, the media manipulation.
	There's an entire list of the tools of indoctrination, which has like 20 items on it.
	It's one of those, Like, uh, what do you call it?
	We read a couple of lines from the Tools of Indoctrination.
	We need to hear that.
	The designers of this pandemic anticipated a pushback by the public and that major embarrassing questions would be asked.
	To prevent this, the controllers fed the media a number of tactics.
	One of the most commonly used was and is the fact-check scam.
	With each confrontation with carefully documented evidence.
	Does this say fact check scam?
	Yep, it says fact check is in quotes and scam comes right after that.
	This is NIH.gov?
	Yes, it's NCBI.NLM.NIH.gov.
	Wow.
	Yep.
	That's why I thought for a second it was gone, but it's not.
	With each confrontation with carefully documented evidence, the media, fact-checkers, quotes, encountered with the charge of, quote, misinformation and unfounded, quote, conspiracy theory.
	Charge was, in their lexicon, debunked.
	Never were we told who the fact-checkers were, et cetera, et cetera.
	Here's a list of things that were labeled as myths and misinformation that were later proven to be true.
	Here we go.
	The asymptomatic vaccinated are spreading the virus equally as with the unvaccinated symptomatic infected.
	The vaccines cannot protect adequately against new variants such as Delta and Omicron.
	Natural immunity is far superior to vaccine immunity and is most likely lifelong.
	These are all things that are true but were deemed fact-check false.
	COVID vaccines can cause a significant incidence of blood clots and other serious side effects.
	See Ray Liotta.
	The vaccine proponents will demand numerous boosters as each variant appears on the scene.
	Fauci will insist on the COVID vaccine for small children, even babies.
	Vaccine passports will be required to enter a business, fly in a plane, use public transit.
	All of this was deemed misinformation and fact-check false until, of course, it was true.
	And there's a whole bunch of them.
	Wow!
	Yeah.
	You should put that in the show notes.
	Of course it's in the show notes.
	Hello!
	Not the Reaction, no, I'm sorry, the RetractionWatch.com, but that.
	They're both, yeah, this paper is in the show notes.
	I have, of course, also created an offline copy, which is also in the show notes in case it does get pulled down.
	Yes, I would, the offline copy.
	It's been up since April 22nd.
	I think this is one of those culpable deniability.
	Hey man, like we published the truth, okay?
	Oh, yes, exactly.
	That's an excellent point that you just made.
	Yeah.
	Because people call him out some five years down the road.
	No, no.
	Shut up.
	And we said this, you know, we didn't we're not we're not the ones full of crap.
	No.
	Throw it at the media.
	Roa Dux from Post Falls, Idaho, Scott Brigham.
	He says, wishing my smoking hot wife and love of my life all the best on her next trip around the sun.
	Oh.
	Jingles, I'd like a biscuit for her birthday and some yak karma.
	They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
	You've got... Karma.
	That didn't sit right with me.
	Andrew Spieler, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha It was the least I could do.
	And you've got rolling blackouts coming.
	Hilarious.
	No, I don't know.
	You know, they always say that rolling blackouts have only happened once in the States.
	Yeah, okay.
	I'm not seeing rolling blackouts.
	I like the fact that they keep threatening them.
	Yeah.
	You'll get a rolling blackout before we do.
	Yes, but I have a generator.
	Of course, it doesn't matter.
	I have a generator.
	You have the Generac.
	Yeah, Generac.
	We talked about that company on the THM Plug Show.
	Oh, that's a company you probably would have wanted to invest in.
	I don't know if it's too late.
	How's their numbers?
	No, now's the time to invest in them.
	During this climate of stock market collapse, they're back down at a good low.
	It's about 200 bucks.
	Oh, yes.
	Okay.
	It's what?
	How many bucks?
	200?
	Oh, shit.
	220, maybe?
	That's too rich for my blood.
	Okay.
	The range was 150 to 500.
	Hey, it's a double bagger.
	For sure.
	Double bagger.
	Can I get a birthday shoutout to some relationship guys?
	Call it two bagger, please.
	Can I get a birthday shout out and some relationship karma?
	Yes.
	And I'll be happy to for any prayers from Christian listeners, too, as because some of them don't like the karma.
	I also need some respect from Reverend Al.
	Can I?
	Keep up the good work, gentlemen.
	Love and lit.
	Andrew Spieler, the O.G.
	Sriracha.
	Sriracha!
	It's Sriracha.
	Have you ever heard of Sriracha sauce?
	Oh, I get it now.
	Sriracha the hot sauce.
	Yes.
	Brand in Mississippi.
	There you go.
	R-E-S-P-I-C-T.
	You've got karma.
	Tight, tight, tight, tight.
	That is our group of executive producers, associate executive producers for show 1454.
	Yeah, 1454.
	Loaded with puns, loaded with puns, Sriracha.
	Thank you so much to our executive and associate executive producers bringing us the content.
	If you got no content, just bringing us the treasure.
	It's highly appreciated.
	That's what keeps the show going, along with all the donations.
	We'll thank more people in our second segment.
	If you'd like to learn on how to become a No Agenda executive producer or associate executive producer and get one of those titles, which you can actually use, we'll vouch for you.
	Go here.
	Thank you very much for bringing your time, talent, treasure to episode 1454!
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Shut up, Spade.
	Shut up, slave.
	Shut up, slave.
	By the way, oh, I'm sorry.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	I have an ad I want to play.
	Never mind.
	Go ahead.
	You have a what you want to play?
	An ad.
	An ad?
	As a commercial?
	Yeah, it's an ad.
	We play commercial on the show all the time.
	Okay.
	Not for anything.
	We're not paid.
	No, no, no.
	To prove a point, of course.
	California does have one good thing going for it.
	We can recall public officials.
	And so the state's in the process of recalling this douchebag Boudin up here in San Francisco as a district attorney.
	He's one of the Soros sisters.
	And here's his ad.
	Oh, this is the ad they're running.
	The Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Bailey Circus is back.
	Is that what you're talking about?
	I don't think that's the ad you were talking about, was it?
	No, but that's a good story.
	No, it's called Recall Boudin.
	Oh, because you said it was an ad, so I was looking for an ad, and that was the only ad clip I found.
	Okay, here we go.
	Oh, I see what you did.
	I joined the district attorney's office to pursue justice for everyone.
	But like so many of my colleagues, I resigned in protest because Chesa Boudin interfered in every single case and failed to do his job.
	The office is absolutely in disarray right now.
	Chesa dissolved my unit prosecuting car break-ins.
	Now criminals flock to San Francisco because there are no consequences.
	We can't wait.
	Recall Chesa now.
	Who was that paid for by?
	Oh, mostly real estate people.
	Really?
	Because the- Yeah, Shorenstein, I think, put six million in.
	I mean, there's a bunch of real estate people, almost exclusively, that paid for these ads.
	And I will say this, car break-ins.
	Give me a number.
	The car break-in woman says, I was on, signed a car break-ins and they took, they just closed the department down.
	So everyone's just breaking into cars.
	How many break-ins in San Francisco a day do you think take place, car break-ins, where they just bust your window and grab something?
	Uh, twenty-five to thirty.
	Seventy-five.
	A day.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	I know.
	Why would anyone come to San Francisco as a tourist?
	You're going to have your window broken.
	No, I left there years ago.
	A decade ago.
	And I was stepping over homeless people every morning then.
	Oh, it's worse now.
	Now you have to step over homeless people and be careful as you do so not to step in poop.
	Yes, or glass from the broken windows.
	Yes, well, that's The Shatterer.
	I didn't clip it, but was it Charles Barkley who said he was doing play-by-play?
	I watched it, yeah.
	Did you clip it?
	No, I didn't clip it.
	It's just Charles Barkley does this all the time.
	He rants out, he rails on San Francisco.
	He says, we need some rain to clean this crap up.
	Yeah.
	I probably still have the clip if you did, but I mean, it's still on the machine, but... No, no, no, it's not that important.
	No, he just says San Francisco, and he's right.
	Yeah.
	But that's because of these... I don't want to sound like a politico here, but that's because of all these liberals and Charles Boudin, this guy who's a Soros sister who doesn't prosecute anybody.
	He's catch and release, catch and release.
	So there you go.
	Same in LA.
	Same in New York.
	I mean, if you want to know what some of the problems are in America, in the cities, that's it.
	It's the Soros sisters letting everybody out.
	So there was some elections in Georgia, if you want to talk about elections.
	Not particularly.
	I don't know how interesting it is to the overall international audience.
	Yeah, we have 85% of the people in the United States.
	We can't just do no United States news.
	All right.
	Well, this is just, yeah, sure.
	This is about Stacey Abrams, so.
	It's not really about Stacey Abrams, but I'll tell you this.
	It seems to me that the media is going out of its way.
	I don't have evidence in these clips, but it's stuff I read on the Associated Press.
	It's for some unknown reason, they keep promoting the idea that Trump is now useless and nobody wants him.
	Yeah, this is propagated quite far and wide.
	I would say there's a majority of true Republican Party members who also think that he's kind of done.
	I mean, I feel that, I hear it, or at best it's like, oh man, I hope he lets someone else run, or I hope, you know, it's this weird vibe, but yet he still packs them in at these rallies that he does.
	And he does have effects on the elections, even though they're minimizing it, because in Georgia, they got... Well, here, play this Georgia elections.
	This is the first clip.
	It's called Kicker, because he got a kicker at the end.
	Great to see you.
	Some big contests here on Tuesday that remind us they're all former President Trump's to lose because he's decided to engage in them.
	First off, in the Senate race.
	Former football star Herschel Walker is coasting to a Republican win here.
	He'll take on the Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock at what promises to be one of the most expensive and divisive Senate contests this cycle.
	But it's the governor's race where former President Trump is perhaps most personally invested.
	Republican Brian Kemp Facing a challenge from the former Senator David Perdue, who was put up to the race by Mr. Trump.
	Kemp, however, appears to be pulling away in what will end up being a general election matchup between the governor and his former Democratic opponent, Stacey Abrams.
	But there's another contest that we wouldn't normally focus on here on Face the Nation, the race for Secretary of State.
	Brad Raffensperger, like Governor Kemp, decided to stand against former President Trump's push to change the results of the 2020 election here in Georgia and somehow get him to win.
	Raffensperger's in a crowded field, and he's likely headed to a runoff election next month.
	But elections observers all across the country concern that if he loses, it's a sign that someone like the former president can come in and try to manipulate elections.
	Okay.
	The president will come in, like President Trump, and will manipulate elections?
	Is that what they just say?
	Trump will manipulate elections?
	That's exactly what they said.
	What does that mean?
	Well, what it means is like Obama and Biden and George Bush and everybody who's ever been president that endorses somebody, which they do constantly.
	Obama's a good example.
	Yeah.
	They do constantly.
	This is somehow twisted by the Face the Nation group over there.
	Twisted to mean manipulate.
	Oh, wow.
	What?
	No, you heard me.
	I said, oh wow.
	You said it twice.
	So this to me is twisted.
	This is what politicians do.
	They endorse people.
	So what?
	And this is, by the way, what you just said is that they're trying to interpret this as, oh, but he's lost his touch because he can't unseat a very popular governor of Georgia.
	He's lost his touch.
	Wasn't Kemp the guy who didn't give him the 11,000 votes he wanted?
	Yeah.
	He's got a grudge.
	I don't blame him.
	But this guy, he's in the catbird seat over there now.
	He's perfect.
	He's the savior.
	Yeah, well, I have two more clips from this little segment here that faced the nation dead with Hillary Clinton.
	Georgia elections, too.
	Let's play this and see if it goes anywhere.
	Ed, I mean, that's an important point.
	We don't normally cover primary races this closely on the national level.
	And it is very unusual.
	A former president gets directly involved, in fact, endorsing candidates Who are at odds with his own party's selected candidates.
	And this is going to get even more dramatic when the former Vice President Mike Pence comes to town.
	That's right, because he's defying former President Trump by showing up tomorrow and endorsing and campaigning with Governor Kemp.
	Pence and a handful of other GOP officeholders have been here in Georgia in recent weeks believing, seeing the trends that show that Kemp is going to win despite standing against the former president.
	Because they come out of the wing of the party that still believes that somebody other than Trump can somehow prevail in 2024, retake control of the party, and win over general election voters that continue to show up in our polling as not necessarily big fans of the former president.
	But you're right, you never see a former president or vice president quite at odds like this.
	It's really interesting, you know, just looking out ahead.
	I mean, right now there's this general feeling, and I live in Hill Country, so I talk to a lot of people who are conservative.
	Many are real party members.
	I'm neither.
	I mean, not devout conservative or certainly not a member of any party.
	I'm not so sure that we're going to have this red wave of winning Republicans.
	I can't tell you exactly why.
	Other than a lot of Democrat politicians seem to be stroking out, if you notice this, like, oh, OK, another stroke.
	Well, that's weird.
	Oh, we had a stroke.
	OK.
	And these are Democrats.
	But do you think that there truly will be?
	A red wave of winning?
	In this next election?
	In the midterm.
	Oh yeah, it's going to be huge.
	It's going to have everybody running around with their hair on fire and they're going to be all freaked out about it.
	It's going to be like the Amber Heard thing.
	It's going to chew up too many news cycles.
	It's going to be a mess.
	But this happens in every midterm, so why would this one be any different?
	And the thing that was about, they mentioned that last clip was, which I thought was amusing, is Pence, after this guy won, after the guy beat the Trump guy, then Pence comes out and starts the campaign for him.
	And a bunch of other Republicans come out.
	That tells me that they're still afraid of Trump.
	Because they get on a bandwagon.
	So what?
	Anyone can do that.
	I'm going to double down on my Trump prediction.
	What's the prediction about Trump?
	The 2024 people across the political spectrum will be begging for Trump.
	I think.
	I hope.
	I, well.
	You hope what?
	You hope so or hope not?
	I hope that Trump comes to his senses and throws it to DeSantis.
	Yeah, no, that's not going to happen.
	No, DeSantis is perfect because he's got the chops, he's been a governor, he knows the political game a little better than Trump, and the never-Trumpers can't be never-DeSantis's.
	Well, they're certainly setting him up for a Trump thing.
	I mean, they're making him look like a horrible person.
	Hates gays?
	Yeah, hates gays.
	He does?
	No, of course he doesn't, but don't say gay Bill and all this stuff.
	I'm just telling you my feeling.
	I know what you're saying.
	It's a nice try the way I see it.
	Well, we'll see.
	I mean, I called him the first time.
	I called it.
	So we'll have to see.
	I just got a feeling.
	I picked the hits.
	And that's based upon the Great Reset, which I do believe is happening.
	You do believe?
	I do believe it.
	And I think people will be so desperate for anything but what we have now, which is going to be twice as bad in two years from now.
	These people are insane who are running the show.
	The people at Davos are the same people who are running the White House.
	It's the same people.
	It's the same people.
	And they're crazy.
	I think insanity is the right word.
	And they're crazy.
	They're crazy.
	So we'll see.
	All right, number three here?
	Yes, play this and then we can drop it.
	We have to talk about Democrats here, too.
	And, excuse me, you heard our CBS poll.
	Democrats view the party as weak, a large number of them.
	There's also such sharp criticism of the president reacting too slowly.
	What's the signal here for Democrats?
	Well, the biggest one, and you talked about it with Anthony and with Congressman Jeffries there, the fact that young voters, black voters, Latino voters now also are in agreement that the president isn't necessarily doing enough to take on the economic challenges and inflation.
	That's the secret sauce.
	If you can't convince young people, black people, Latino voters in this state, Like Georgia and others across the country, you're going to see Democrats lose big statewide elections.
	Stacey Abrams, Raphael Warnock here in Georgia need those numbers to improve in order to get the Biden coalition to turn out again.
	Same story goes in places like Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, all across the country.
	So the White House has to be looking at these numbers today with great concern.
	It's part of the reason why you've seen the White House in recent days really step up its attempts to demonstrate that it's on top of the baby formula shortage.
	You have those flights arriving today with the first stock files from Europe because they understand unless they're demonstrating action, those numbers are only going to get worse.
	Baby Fortnite Yeah, that's pretty lame.
	My wife pointed out, she says, you know, they knew about, and we've talked about it on the show, they knew about the baby formula shutdown of Abbott and all the rest of it, and that there was going to be a shortage back in February.
	Yes.
	And she's just asked, why didn't they start bringing it in from Europe back then?
	What is the reason for this long delay?
	So that doesn't look like an action-oriented operation.
	Well, the answer is, is to make people completely dependent upon the government.
	Just getting into it.
	Just get the vibe.
	Just catch the feel.
	Don't worry, you'll get used to it.
	The reason I can say these things about Trump is because he's running messaging.
	And he's running messaging that no one is seeing because it's untruth social.
	And his messaging is the John Durham A special investigator who has grand juries assembled.
	They've got people singing like canaries.
	Robbie Mook, the campaign manager for Hillary Clinton, implicating everybody involved in creating the Russia hoax.
	And he's back to lock her up, so he's exciting the base.
	And what's interesting is that MSNBC is running counter-messaging, so they feel it's dangerous.
	Here's an example.
	What matters here is that we know that the Russians broke into the DNC and then leaked the information they stole out in a strategic way to hurt Hillary Clinton and help Donald Trump.
	Yeah, I don't think that's what happened.
	Are they still pushing the idea that the Russians broke into the DNC?
	Yeah, with Guccifer and all that.
	Oh yeah.
	But the Seth Rich story, that's what's going to come out.
	That's the key.
	That's why Julian Assange has to be eliminated.
	The Seth Rich connection is what, that will be the death knell of certainly Hillary Clinton's even anything.
	She might as well cancel her life.
	Um, but, but that's where they're going with this.
	I'll play it again.
	What matters here is that we know that the Russians broke into the DNC and then leaked, uh, the information they stole out in a strategic way to hurt Hillary Clinton and help Donald Trump.
	We saw, uh, within days of that first leak that Donald Trump encouraged the Russians publicly to hack into Hillary's personal email account.
	And now we know that, uh, staff members were communicating.
	Actually, that's factually incorrect.
	He never said to hack into her personal account.
	He said, hey, Russia, if you can find 30,000 emails that were deleted.
	And he did it.
	It was done as a gag.
	Yeah, was it?
	We've heard him do it.
	Was it?
	Was it?
	Okay, it was not a... I think it was done lightheartedly.
	Let's put it that way.
	Hey, you Russians out there, you probably have all this data, you know, referring to the people that are like the NSA of Russia.
	Yeah.
	You can go, you can, you've already been in this server and everything.
	Dig up, find out the 30,000 emails.
	You, you got it.
	Release it.
	It was hilarious.
	...publicly to hack into Hillary's personal email.
	That's just not true.
	And by the way, Big difference in these Durham trials.
	There's a difference between your personal email account And this this has been explained to be my people with clearance when you say which this is a lie your personal email account That's typically seen as oh I have a personal Gmail or Yahoo mail or something that there's a record of that is retrievable because it's stored on Google servers and
	Hillary Clinton and her entire gang of cronies had a personal email server and that's that's an issue for which she will hang.
	And now we know that staff members were communicating with the Russians when we know this was taking place so what we need to understand is did Donald Trump or his aides know?
	That's some cool NLP too just by saying so What we need to understand is, that's really good neuro-linguistic programming.
	Staff members were communicating with the Russians when we know this was taking place.
	So what we need to understand is, did Donald Trump or his aides know about this hack?
	And was there any coordination that took place?
	And what's blocking this is that the Republicans and the Republican leadership refused to have an open investigation.
	When it came to Hillary Clinton last year, they were perfectly fine having lots of investigations.
	We need to get to the truth here, and there's a lot of distractions and shiny objects, but the key question is, did Donald Trump's staff know about this?
	Did Donald Trump know about it?
	And did they aid and abet or refuse to report what was going on in any way?
	What does Robbie Mook believe?
	I don't know, and I don't want to get in the game of speculating.
	What I am calling for, and a lot of people are calling for, is an independent, bipartisan investigation.
	Let's let people speak on the record as to what happened, and then we'll know for sure.
	Which is taking place.
	There is an investigation taking place.
	Who is this guy?
	Sorry, I don't know who that was.
	Some politico pundit.
	It's MSNBC.
	You can't take anything serious that any of these networks do.
	But that's counter-messaging.
	They're a little worried about this.
	Well, I guess they are, because it seems to me that if you were smart, you'd just ignore the whole thing and just let it... The D.C.
	courts aren't going to do anything because they're corrupted.
	And let the thing... Make a big fuss when that happens.
	Say, look, this guy's full of shit.
	You know, go it that way.
	That's what I do.
	This idea of bringing this up and making people aware of what's happening is not a good practice.
	I agree with you.
	I agree.
	It's weird.
	It's weird.
	Seems defensive.
	Yep.
	I tell you, there's worry out there.
	It's because Trump is doing something.
	He's doing something.
	I don't know.
	We don't know.
	You know, I said this to Tina this morning.
	She's like, yeah, you said that before.
	She didn't believe me either.
	She's like, nah.
	It's like Trump's got some big plan just because the nature of the guy, his nature will not allow DeSantis to go.
	He has to prove that he was right, and he's going to do- He will die on this hill.
	Stubborn is the word you're looking for.
	Yeah, okay.
	He will die on this hill.
	I'm convinced of that.
	Look at the guy.
	He's not gonna go, okay, I was right, here's Ron.
	No.
	No, he's not.
	Let's go to Ukraine.
	Oh, yes!
	Yay!
	What's going on there?
	Do we have anything good to report?
	Well, I have a... I teased it earlier.
	We have a Fox report on a local station.
	In other words, it's a package that's really well put together.
	Okay.
	And this is a Ukraine package.
	Now to the latest on the war in Ukraine.
	Russia has stepped up its assault in eastern Ukraine by encircling several key cities.
	Ukraine says it is digging in and is preparing for a counteroffensive thanks to new weapons shipments from the United States.
	Fox's Greg Palcon has the story from Kiev, Ukraine.
	They are the David and this David and Goliath struggle.
	Can you stop?
	Of course.
	And back it up.
	I just noticed this and I thought I'd mention it since this is kind of a deconstruction of it.
	Because I played that clip earlier with that poor woman crying about the kids and then the guy picking it up.
	Most local news has two anchors and maybe a weather person.
	And a sports guy.
	That might be at the desk, they might not.
	Generally speaking, it's just two.
	And this stems back to Huntley Brinkley, when they first introduced the two anchors.
	The networks have shied away from going with two anchors.
	And so, and I think it's been hurting them, because just as I listened to this opening of this report, where they tag-team the opening of the news report, and it's not their package, this is local.
	That's a good point.
	So this package is presented by Fox.
	So they come on and tag-team, and then, and it's seamless and tight.
	As opposed to one person, Nora, let's say, is up there standing there, droning on and on and on with there's no life.
	It's lifeless.
	And I think all the networks are suffering from this, where the locals all realize what works.
	And it's got to be male-female.
	There's never two of the same birthing persons next to each other.
	It does happen sometimes by accident.
	Never two men, but usually two women show up a lot.
	Yeah.
	And we throw in the LGBTQ on the weather person.
	Usually.
	Typically.
	Or the sports guy.
	Could be the sports guy.
	It's usually a sports guy.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Now to the latest on the war in Ukraine.
	Russia has stepped up its assault in eastern Ukraine by encircling several key cities.
	Ukraine says it is digging in and is preparing for a counteroffensive thanks to new weapons shipments from the United States.
	Fox's Greg Palka has the story from Kiev, Ukraine.
	Now if I had written this, I would have had him start and have her toss to the guy.
	It's just a minor detail, but that's how I would have run it.
	They are the David and this David and Goliath struggle.
	Oh, nice edit.
	The force is digging in as the Russian military pounds away at key strategic cities in the east.
	Round the clock shelling is being afforded in some areas as Russia shifts its focus to individual cities rather than the entire Donbass region.
	But the Ukrainians say they're holding on and even planning a counteroffensive thanks to new weapon shipments from the U.S. part of a $40 billion aid package approved by Congress last week.
	We're trying to advocate for an Amazon-type style logistic system.
	What?!
	To make sure that they're not only getting what they need, but they're getting it in time.
	Just in time.
	Economic battle also heating up.
	A plug for Amazon.
	Well, that's pretty interesting.
	A plug for Amazon.
	And also, you know, Amazon's kind of failing right now with their system.
	They're not delivering with prime speeds.
	In fact, they've suspended their guarantees.
	No, they're not.
	You noticed it too.
	I'm sorry, once in a while when we're just talking, I gotta just throw in some machine gun fire.
	It seems to work really well when we're talking, so people pay attention.
	What a bunch of crock!
	To make sure that they're not only getting what they need, but they're getting it in time.
	The economic battle also heating up.
	The day after the US cut off Russia from using American banks for debt repayment, the European Union is meeting, hoping to come to a consensus on a total embargo on Russian oil.
	This guy, by the way, sounds very old-timey.
	Doesn't he sound like an old-timey kind of newsreader guy?
	Yeah, you know, I wonder the effectiveness of that style.
	Uh, yeah, I don't think it's very effective, but I like it.
	I like it.
	Here, listen to him again.
	Payment.
	European Union is meeting.
	European Union is meeting.
	Hoping to come to a consensus on a total embargo.
	It's the, it's the cadence.
	It's the cadence.
	European Union is hoping to come to a cadence.
	The European Union is meeting, hoping to come to a consensus on a total embargo on Russian oil.
	We need to find a concrete solution in order to make sure that we protect the economic interest.
	And on the diplomatic front, world leaders are scrambling to get Russia to end its blockade of Ukraine's ports, where millions of tons of wheat and other food remain stuck.
	Global food prices are now skyrocketing, and some say, unless exports resume, we could be looking at a worldwide famine.
	Wait a minute.
	That doesn't make sense.
	Uh, ABC says... Let me see if I have this.
	Where was it?
	There... I believe... Oh, I'm looking for this now.
	I'm sure I had a clip where they want to open a green corridor?
	I thought I... Did you... Did you... No, I never... Not heard about a green corridor.
	No, here it is.
	Oh, this is from Telesur.
	Who is... Who... Who is Telesur?
	Is that South American?
	Someone owns that in South America, doesn't it?
	It's like...
	The Russian and Chinese governments are advocating opening corridors for grain exports from Ukraine amid rising prices at the international market.
	Moscow and Beijing urged Kiev to create a green corridor for grain exports, which they say would be beneficial amid the current difficult food situation.
	Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi proposed implementing these measures amid growing grain shortages from Russia and Ukraine, which are exacerbating food problems in the regions that benefit from this production.
	Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Rudenko also called on the Ukrainian government to deactivate mines in all the country's ports in order to resume the export of food by sea, and stressed the importance of humanitarian corridors to supply markets.
	So it seems like Russia's on board with this idea.
	Oh, you know, this is... Well, we're getting the official...
	American version from Fox.
	Yeah.
	And it's bullcrap.
	What you just played probably is right on.
	It's probably true.
	The Chinese... Because nobody wants a worldwide famine.
	It will cause revolutions.
	It causes people to overthrow the government.
	You can't have that.
	Am I lost again?
	No, no.
	I'm trying to think.
	Where were we?
	Still on clip 2?
	Yeah, let's go to clip 2.
	Russia is now hoarding... Oh wait, stop, stop.
	I usually take the tags off these clips where the guy signs off, but because it's one of those guys with those voices that you said as well, he signs off with a downbeat.
	That's your style.
	I'm Adam Kernow Jr.
	here in Gitmo Nation.
	Yeah, something like that, but not quite that crazy.
	Russia is now hoarding its own food exports as a form of blackmail.
	The U.N.
	estimates about 400 million people depend on food exports from Ukraine.
	In Kyiv, Greg Balgot, KTVU, Fox 2 News.
	Fox 2 News!
	Fox 2 News!
	I like the guy though.
	At least it's different.
	At least it's a little different.
	He's a package guy.
	Let's just keep people interested in the show.
	So this is, I'm glad you got that clip because that just shows you that we're being fed bull crap.
	They got the, exactly.
	They have, they mined the harbors where the grain would be going out and they can't get the grain out and they're blaming the Russians.
	But the harbors are, have been de-bombed, de-mined.
	Well, according to, I don't know, they're probably still active.
	There's some reason they're not allowing this to happen.
	And if the Chinese are involved, you know that they, you know, they're... I don't think they're full of crap in this regard.
	It's best price.
	It's best price.
	You're getting a deal.
	Oh my goodness.
	It's a shit show.
	It really is.
	Ask John.
	Ask John.
	He knows what's going on.
	I haven't asked John if you want, unless you want to do something else.
	This is about global warming.
	This was a piece that ran on CBS 60 Minutes.
	Leslie Stahl, who doesn't know her.
	There's a whole segment on global warming, which I think is wrong.
	It should be climate change, but okay.
	And the wine industry, particularly in France.
	So, did you see this particular episode?
	I don't think so.
	Good, because I'd just like to play some of these clips and get your feedback, because, you know, we have an expert in our midst.
	Here we go.
	What are the signs of global warming?
	Wrong!
	Climate change, Leslie.
	What are the signs of global warming?
	Glaciers are melting at an increasingly rapid pace.
	Persistent droughts are spreading.
	And we have another to tell you about.
	Wine.
	Farmers who grow the grapes have seen the effects of climate change in the soil, in the roots of the vines, and the yields of their crops.
	France, a major center of winemaking for centuries, is experiencing increasingly higher temperatures and extreme weather conditions that have damaged vintages and livelihoods.
	Last year was particularly dramatic.
	France recorded its smallest harvest since 1957 and lost more than $2 billion in sales, a huge blow to the country's second-largest export industry.
	And, as we first reported in December, it's hitting nearly all the wine-growing regions where they make dry whites, fruity reds, and fizzy champagne.
	I know that pissed you off.
	So question one, what is the number one export from France?
	And two, is there any truth to what she's saying about this horrible situation of the French wine market, including fizzy champagnes?
	I don't know what the number one export is from France.
	Is it cheese?
	I don't know.
	I'd have to look it up.
	It could be wine even, but I don't think so.
	I think it's something that costs more money.
	It's heavy duty goods or something like that.
	But the point, the wine industry has been talking about this for a decade.
	And they're talking about climate warming, global warming, whatever it is.
	And it's not man-made necessarily or whatever.
	They just notice it.
	And it's happening and it's improving the quality of the wines across the board.
	The wines from Germany have been off the scale delicious.
	The Pinots from Burgundy, which usually come in as a dead crop, as crap, junk year after year, Since about 2000, they have been almost ever, with the exception of very few years, which is incredibly unusual for Burgundy's, the pinots have been unbelievable.
	And the 2019, even, you know, one of the best years they say since 1865.
	Well, Leslie Stahl certainly made it sound shit.
	This does, this makes no sense.
	Bordeaux, for example, had a, you know, they've had these triplets, they've had so many of these triplets, which is three years of great wine in a row.
	They've had them, they had them, they just finished one with the 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 is going to be okay, but it's going to, that's a crappy year because just generally, cause there was a hailstorm.
	And they go back to 57.
	There was hailstorms, a lot of hailstorms in the 50s that wiped out a lot of wines.
	There was no good wine in the 1960s.
	But starting in the 80s in particular when global warming was really cranking up, they've had great wine after great wine.
	It's stunning.
	Fact check false.
	So she's full of crap?
	Yeah.
	By the way, By the way, let me mention something else when she talks about the sales going off because we had a bad year, which was 2021 was a bad year.
	It takes two years before that bad year actually comes to market for the sales would go off.
	This is nonsense, that presentation.
	Oh, it's good because we have more of this coming up.
	I do want to mention for 2021, she's also incorrect, the top exports for France, spirits, beverages, wine, etc.
	is number seven on the list.
	Number one is machinery, including computers.
	Number two is vehicles.
	Are they still selling Citroëns?
	Number three is electrical machinery, pharmaceuticals, hello Sophie Pasteur.
	And number four, aircraft, of course, including Airbus.
	Number six, plastics.
	So yeah, so she's wrong on a couple of fronts, but it doesn't matter because I'm gonna bring in Greg Jones, climatologist to explain the horrible state of the French wine industry.
	Greg Jones is a research climatologist with Southern Oregon University, who for 25 years has specialized in the study of how climate influences the growing and harvesting of wine grapes.
	Oh man, I can't wait for this guy!
	What we're seeing today is we're seeing more of these extreme events happening more frequently at greater degrees and causing more problems.
	Yeah, we see it everywhere.
	It's not just in farm regions.
	I mean, every part of our country is experiencing some extreme weather condition.
	So how do you know it isn't that normal extreme weather?
	As opposed to a general climate change?
	There's an area in climate science called attribution science, and attribution science is all about trying to kind of understand how much role humans have in the game of climate.
	Who to attribute it to?
	Yeah.
	So what climatologists do is we develop models that look at aspects of climate And those models that are coming out are really telling us more and more that in the absence of humans, most of these things would not occur to the same degree they're occurring today.
	That's because there'd be no reporting in the absence of humans.
	That's why it wouldn't exist.
	Perfect.
	Here's another clip.
	Tie what you're saying about climate to what's going on in France now.
	Sure.
	In France, just like most of Europe, temperatures have gone up, summers have gotten drier, and wine grapes are just sensitive.
	They're sensitive to those kind of changes, and we've been seeing it worldwide, and Europe has been at the epicenter of it.
	So he makes it sound like it's a bad thing, but you just told me it's really dynamite.
	It is dynamite.
	Maybe he doesn't like wine.
	I don't know.
	Grapes are very hardy plants, and they like hot weather.
	They can deal with it.
	Sometimes the wines get flabby if it gets too hot.
	But in these areas that have always been kind of borderline where they have great soils and they have great terroirs, as they like to put it, they're always having trouble making the vintages work out because it's raining too much.
	It's doing one thing or another that's negative.
	But with this warm warming conditions, the way that winemakers see it.
	This is just improving everything.
	It's now, the vintages are more steady, they're more even, especially in areas that are harder to make great wine.
	Not Bordeaux as much as Burgundy and Germany, for example.
	The German wines are just knockout wines.
	I mean, you have some of these wines, it's like, where have you been all my life kind of Rieslings?
	They're unbelievable.
	Is this, wow, this goes, I mean, CBS 60 Minutes is lying to me.
	Really?
	I thought there was really a problem with the French wines.
	I don't understand.
	Well, let's listen to the harvest historically.
	It's the last clip I have, but maybe we're just seeing this wrong.
	Greg Jones says the warming atmosphere is also changing the grapes' growth cycle.
	The growth accelerates that ripening to the point that we're picking earlier.
	For example, 2020 in Burgundy, the picking date was August 20th.
	And prior to that, we've been averaging for the last 30 years about September 15th.
	And then for 600 years before that, we were averaging the end of September, 1st of October.
	So it's dramatic.
	So it's pretty dramatic.
	These pages of parchment, documenting harvest dates going back as far as 1354, were found in the Church of Notre Dame in Burgundy.
	1354.
	It's a wonderful data record that we've been able to look at to better understand what climates were like back then, how it affected harvests, and what that looks like today.
	I'm smiling because I'm thinking 1300s.
	I'm thinking the monks were making wine.
	Well, exactly.
	Okay, so is this true that we have to harvest at different times and this is making the grapes bad?
	Oh no, my God, we have to harvest early so there's less chance of the rain coming in and ruining the crop or the crop getting moldy.
	So yes, you want an early, well August is a little early, but beside the point, the early, generally speaking, an early harvest means for a better wine.
	That means the grapes are super ripe.
	Let's get them out of there.
	Let's just listen to the first clip again.
	Maybe I'm misunderstanding.
	Maybe she said that things are going great because of climate change.
	What are the signs of global warming?
	Glaciers are melting at an increasingly rapid pace.
	Sounds bad.
	Persistent droughts are spreading.
	Bad.
	And we have another to tell you about.
	Wine.
	I mean, if we've got drought and glaciers melting, which will swamp us, then surely she must mean that wine is in trouble.
	Well, the question in my mind is who's not advertising?
	- Members who grow the grapes have seen the effects of climate change in the soil, in the roots of the vines, and the yields of their crops.
	- Well, okay, so she's kind of leaving it in the middle now, although she insinuated this was very bad.
	- France, a major center of winemaking for centuries, is experiencing increasingly higher temperatures and extreme weather conditions that have damaged vintages and livelihoods.
	Okay, she's saying that it's damaged vintages and livelihoods.
	I don't know.
	Maybe somewhere.
	I don't know.
	I never heard of this.
	And you would know.
	Wouldn't you know if the French wine industry was in trouble?
	Yeah.
	I'm a wine collector, hobbyist.
	I read the trades.
	I read all this stuff and listen to these guys where I got the notion that the global warming is a good thing.
	Yeah.
	I didn't dream it up.
	In fact, I think more than 350 ppm of carbon dioxide is probably good for grapes and for foliage and growing in general.
	There was a special on one of these NPR stations recently which disappeared where some guy is an indoor grower.
	He's a hygroponist.
	He grows weed, yeah?
	He grows stuff inside and he might grow weed, but he grows, I think, vegetables.
	And he has a special system that pumps in twice as much CO2 as normal.
	And these plants go nuts.
	And he just thinks it's the greatest idea ever.
	That's what you want to do.
	Wait a minute.
	Sir Gene, who will be celebrating his birthday today in a moment.
	He's a member of the, I think it's like the 2000 part per million carbon dioxide club.
	Because he wants the dinosaurs to come back.
	The dinosaurs can't live unless we have two or three thousand parts per million of carbon dioxide.
	Well, the rationale for that, I mean the dinosaurs need more oxygen than they need carbon dioxide, but what needs the carbon dioxide is the foliage that the dinosaurs have to eat.
	Would be eating, yes!
	Oh man, I can't wait!
	I can't wait for the final conclusion of climate change.
	I'm going to show myself old by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda in the morning.
	And, in fact, we do have a few people to thank for show.
	Indeed.
	If I'm not mistaken.
	Starting with Bruce Begnacci, I think, from Midlothian, Virginia, $100.
	And he says this is the only news he can tolerate.
	And he has a birthday donation for his best friend.
	Oh, no, that's the next guy.
	I'm sorry.
	No, that's Moose.
	Moose.
	Moose.
	Moose lost wages in Nevada, $100, and he has a birthday donation for his best friend.

	I started douchebagging after Crackpot's second appearance on JRE and the subsequent Glenn Beck radio.
	Haven't missed a minute since requesting.
	OK, de-douching, you got it.
	You've been de-douched.
	And thank you to these producers and of course our producers who came in as executive and associate executive producers.
	Also the people who came in under $50.
	Many for reasons of anonymity, but also because we have several of these programs that are what we call sustaining donations.
	They really do help at giving us a base when donations are low.
	And one of those came in from, and you'll love this, Abhilash Kumar.
	This is our Indian producer, the Indian producer from India.
	Yeah, he's the guy.
	And his note, I'm happy to report I've completed my journey to knighthood in a little over ten years.
	Six years if I count my first donation as a trial.
	My last donation would probably have come in via Swift on the 20th of this month.
	Hope you got it.
	Yeah, I get his Swift stuff all the time and he should probably be put down as an executive producer for today's show since he's been, you know, you don't normally push those onto the show.
	Okay, well this is a... So I think that would be a good idea.
	Yeah, let me just add that right here.
	Hold on a second.
	That is a very good idea.
	I'm gonna paste him in there.
	Onward with his note.
	He says, I'm proud to be your first round table member in India.
	For the size of that country, you think we would have had that done sooner.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Yeah.
	They're three times bigger than we are.
	They're actually just the short of China's population.
	I mean, it's crazy.
	And now we're not even, they're not even going to send us food.
	So there's more to it than that.
	I have a clip.
	Hold on before we get hold on to that.
	I'm proud to be your first roundtable member in India and less challenge.
	I would like to lay claim to the whole country of India and it's 1.4 billion slaves.
	I'd say he's got it.
	Right?
	I mean, well, wait, he's going to eat.
	What is his title here?
	Uh, sir mostly nerd.
	Yeah, he's a knight.
	You don't get ta- You don't get a- a- areas until you become a baron or a duke.
	Right!
	Slap down, India!
	Back off.
	Back off, cow lover.
	Very aggressive, these Indians, yes.
	Back off, cow lover.
	to Please de-douche me and hit me with the most potent jobs karma available at the round table.
	I will stick to the classics of mutton and me.
	You've been de-douche-ed.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You thought.
	Harmless.
	Well, we like that a lot.
	I was expecting a vindaloo at the round table.
	No, no, no.
	He just likes the mutton and meat.
	He's good.
	He's good with the vindaloo.
	Yes, you will be at the round table.
	And thank you again to all of our producers in our value for value system and supporting the best podcast in the universe.

	Aren't they, like, close?
	I don't know what India is.
	It's just very decorative.
	It's got stones all over it.
	Ooh, let me just pull that out one more time.

	If you have info, we'd love to know about it.

	Where is it near?
	Is it near Istanbul?
	It, uh, no.
	It's, uh, I'm stuck on TripAdvisor.
	I'm trying to close these stupid windows that make it open.
	It looks very British, by the way.
	Oh, that makes sense.
	It looks like it's just off the coast somewhere.
	It's closer to Ankara, apparently.
	Yeah, that would be great.
	Well, good.
	I want to report.
	I'm excited.
	I'd like to go there.
	I don't know if we have any Turks that listen to the show, but there may be a few.
	Well, they can't donate because it's, I think, you know, donating for an associate executive producership.
	You have to be a millionaire in there now in lira.
	Isn't that currency devalued like 70 or 80 percent?
	It's been sunk.
	Yeah.
	Sunk by the EU.
	Yeah.
	ISOs.
	Oh, yes, ISOs.
	I have two.
	Why don't you play yours first?
	I guess I think you have a winner.
	Alright.
	I don't know if I have a winner.
	Here we go.
	We covered a lot of ground.
	Okay, start playing clips.
	What?
	Lame joke.
	Go on.
	That was amazing!
	You know, that's funny.
	I was thinking that that was amazing as the original one, as just throwing it into an ISO box today.
	Just, you know, I was thinking that.
	That's funny.
	Well, you mean this one.
	Oh my God, that is amazing!
	That was amazing!
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	But I didn't for obvious reasons.
	Alright, should I now play clips?
	Is that what you want me to do?
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	You wanted isos.
	Okay.
	What am I playing?
	Your isos?
	Those were my isos.
	Oh, I thought you had a bunch of them.
	I got two of them.
	And a really good one, too.
	Alright, what do you got?
	Okay, I got, uh... Uh... Iso... I gotta... Had enough.
	I've had enough!
	Yeah, that's good.
	That's not bad.
	Okay, well here's one I liked.
	This is done.
	Done.
	I don't want Biden at the end of our show.
	I'm just vetoing Biden at the end of our show.
	Done.
	Veto.
	Fuck Biden.
	The guy pisses me off.
	He's the President of the United States.
	You should have respect.
	I do have respect for the President of the United States.
	So play Had Enough again.
	No, you won last time.
	I've had enough.
	Here.
	Come on, how can you compare those two?
	You can't even compare the two.
	People are like, hey man, what you saying about the president, man?
	I really like Biden.
	Okay, trolls.
	Well done.
	It's a toxic place, man.
	It's a toxic place, those trolls.
	I want to get the Indian thing out of the way.
	This is the sugar is the next to rise in price clip.
	One of the world's biggest sugar-producing countries, India, says it is restricting exports.
	The move would help keep prices low in India but could fuel a rise in prices elsewhere, as NPR's Lauren Frey reports from Mumbai.
	First, India banned most exports of wheat earlier this month after a heatwave damaged the harvest here.
	Now the Indian government is restricting exports of sugar too.
	Both moves are aimed at ensuring domestic supplies and keeping domestic prices low.
	But they could exacerbate a rise in global prices.
	The head of the International Monetary Fund is urging India to reconsider its wheat export ban.
	If more countries follow suit, she says the world will be less able to deal with grain shortages made worse by the war in Ukraine.
	As for sugar, India is the second largest producer in the world, after Brazil.
	And this is the first time in six years that the government has capped exports.
	Well, luckily, you consume aspartame, so there's no skin off your back.
	Yes, there's a lot of skin off my back.
	I think the aspartame made it happen.
	Some skin is off as we speak.
	All right, everybody.
	That's your deconstruction for today.
	Now you can go back to arguing about guns online, okay?
	Guns versus mental health.
	And while you're at it, are you Team Johnny or Team Amber?
	Make sure you post it right next to your Ukraine flag icon.
	Or just come back here in a couple of days for Sunday's media deconstruction where you can really find out what's going on in the world.
	Coming up next on NoAgendaStream.com, a brand new show to the stream, beer, bourbon, and balderdash.
	End of show mixes, Rolando Gonzalez and Clip Custodian Neil Jones come to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, FEMA Region Number 6.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I remain, I'm John C. DeVore.
	We return on Sunday, right here on NoAgenda.
	Please join us.
	Do not be late!
	Until then, adios, mofos!
	and such.
	I, I'm dry.
	So, um, okay.
	Whew.
	Um, so, um, uh, it's, uh, so that's, it's, so, um, uh, it's, uh, so that's, I want to talk about my friend Corrine.
	It's not about me.
	My friend, my colleague, my partner in truth, Kareem Jean-Pierre, the next White House Press Secretary.
	I am obviously acutely aware that my presence at this podium represents a few firsts.
	She will be the first black woman, the first out LGBTQ plus person to serve in this role.
	The first of all three of those to hold this position, right?
	Like I said, this is what's happening.
	I would not be here today if it were not for generations of barrier-breaking people before me.
	I stand on their shoulders.
	Representation matters.
	Representation does matter.
	She will give a voice to so many, which is amazing.
	So, and that's what we're talking about.
	The press plays a vital role in our democracy.
	It's not about me.
	It's about them.
	I am a black, gay, immigrant woman.
	That is what we're talking about.
	I am a black, gay, immigrant woman.
	What is truly possible when you work hard and dream big.
	I am a black, gay, immigrant woman.
	Uh, it's uh, so that's the difference.
	I am a black, gay, immigrant woman.
	Is the first of all three of those to hold this position.
	And she's worked for a number of advocacy organizations fighting for issues and justice for so many Americans.
	We are simpatico on our philosophy of government and simpatico on how we want to approach these issues.
	We are simpatico.
	Simpatico.
	We are simpatico.
	Simpatico.
	And like I told Barack, if I read something where there's a fundamental disagreement we have based on a moral principle, I'll develop some disease and say I have to resign. .
	We are simpatico, simpatico.
	Ladies and gentlemen, the president of the, the vice president We are full partners in this process.
	I will be there to support him and support the American people.
	We are Simpatico.
	Simpatico.
	We are Simpatico.
	Simpatico.
	The best podcast in the universe!
