Time Text
We have a run on boobs today.
Adam Curry.
John C. DeVore.
It's Thursday, June 9th, 2022.
This is your award-winning Give Our Nation Media Assassination Episode 1458.
This is no agenda.
Unburdened by what has been and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6.
In the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're all awaiting the kangaroo court coming tonight.
Oh, man, this thing is going to be so good.
But before we start, have you swallowed your Lifesaver gummy thing?
You know, gummies are hard to swallow.
Because you gotta chew them and chew them and they never dissolve completely.
They're just gobs of goo.
Is this one of my favorite gummies?
What?
Is this a gummy that I would like?
You know, hint hint?
I think you would.
I think these Lifesaver gummies would be likable by most anyone who likes gummies.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
A lot of people don't like gummies.
They're kind of like, it's just a new kind of candy that somebody in Germany... Well, you're basically chomping on oil or something.
No, it's a gabagoo.
I don't know what it is.
It's a gabagoo.
It's a good question.
We should look into the manufacturing of gummies.
Have you ever seen the Amazon review for the, what is it, the gummy bears, like the big bag of gummy bears?
It's famous, there's an Amazon review and it must be thousands of comments of people just talking about horrific things that happened to them when they ate the entire bag of gummies.
Oh God, you don't want to do that.
But this of course is not a real lifesaver.
Lifesavers come in a roll, you know, the red ones rarely on top, usually green, yellow, then maybe a red, and turning it into a gummy is blasphemy, it's like the Oreos.
Well, you know what the reason for the Lifesaver was?
Oh, no.
What was the... Do you mean the reason for the existence of it?
Yeah.
No.
Kids would eat these big balls of candy and choke on them and some of them would die.
Lifesavers if you stupidly, like a stupid kid.
Oh, it had the hole in it.
It has the hole so you can breathe through the hole.
I didn't know that!
That makes so much sense!
Yeah.
Oh wow, Lifesavers.
Really, that's the back story of the name?
That is the back story they tell.
I like it.
That's a good one.
They should hype that up.
They stopped telling that story some years ago.
That's probably the only reason I know it and you don't.
But yeah, the idea was it was a lifesaver because if the kid stupidly chucked the whole thing down his throat, he could at least breathe.
Or if he got caught in his lungs.
I don't know what the problems were with choking.
The last time I read news about lifesavers was probably about seven or eight years ago, maybe longer.
Uh, if you got the peppermint lifesavers, you go into the closet in the dark and you break them and they spark.
Yeah.
This is another curious thing.
Why, why is my candy creating sparks?
Yeah, it's actually, yeah, it's a lower, it's a low amp spark.
It's not really much to it.
But these are brown with a hole in the middle so that you know that's the same thing.
And then of course it's shaped like a small miniature lifesaver.
But as I was going to say it's similar to the Oreos.
Let me tell you my problem first.
Okay.
Because I haven't had Oreos in a long time, like years, and I'm like, oh, you know, I feel like Oreos.
I'll buy one piece of crap for myself when I go shopping.
Like I could down a sleeve.
You can't buy one Oreo, but go on.
I was ready for a sleeve, a sleeve of Oreos.
And I look in the ATB here, They have no regular Oreos.
All you have is Mega Master Double Thick, so it's just like this huge, as you would say, gob of goo in the middle, way too thick.
And if you don't want that, then it's the Thins, which is way too thin.
So it's like Shrinkflation, Stagflation.
No!
Not at the HEB in Fredericksburg.
It seems like they've done away with those.
So I find out from a friend of mine who's posting this on Twitter, Brian Romilly, that the Hydrox cookie, which I was always convinced was a clone of the Oreo, was the original.
The Hydrox cookie?
Well, people out there know what I'm talking about.
You don't, I guess.
I guess not.
But the Hydrox is an Oreo.
It looks like an Oreo.
It tastes like an Oreo.
It's got the same color combination.
It's exactly what you want, by the way, because you can't get the regular Oreos.
It came out months and months, if not a year before the original Oreo, which copied it, even though it was copyrighted or patented, I don't know.
That's crazy.
Oreo is a copy, it's a rip-off!
No kidding, I'm looking at it right now, except for the stamps on the Oreo.
Oh yeah, the stamps are different.
You know, the Oreo, there's a lot of conspiracy theories about what's on the Oreo cookie itself, what's stamped in there.
There's a lot of theories about what all that means, but now, that makes even more sense!
Because it's a rip-off!
How do they even do that?
They must have paid a license fee.
No, there's no evidence of it.
Really now?
That's blatant theft.
Hmm.
If that happened in today's world, it wouldn't have gotten very far.
Yeah, like if someone tried to do a No Agenda cookie podcast.
So the Hydrox cookie is the original.
So people, when you get a Hydrox, it's not a cheap imitation.
It's not a copy.
It's not something from China.
In fact, we endorse Hydrox.
We're against Oreo cookies now.
We're the Hydrox podcast.
Yes, we're Hydrox cookie people.
Oreos, nasty.
So yes, tonight, of course, it's a show day.
We have the kickoff of the primetime Purge the Purge series, which is how the Democrat Party is going to go live.
They're going to do it live.
Primetime!
This morning, the guy running for governor of Michigan, Republican, was arrested by the FBI for participating in the January 6th protest.
Really?
Yep.
It's in the news.
Just came out this morning.
I didn't have time to follow up.
Now did they shackle him like they like to do?
Did they make a big embarrassing thing out of it?
They could have.
Maybe they did.
Maybe they didn't.
I'm sure they cuffed him.
Can't take a chance with a guy like that.
So I've been monitoring all of the networks and the channels in the ramp up to tonight.
And of course there will be many more prime time showings.
Everyone's all... In fact, I was in the car so I couldn't clip it.
Nicole Wallace.
She, she was like, oh, you know, it might be that we might even see Ivanka Trump and Jared.
It's like, it's exact.
Everybody was primed for this with the, uh, with the, the high end junkie trial between Heard and Depp.
So, you know, people are kind of in that mode.
And if we can get a few celebrities, yes.
Oh, this is all predictive programming.
This is not, not an accident.
Not an accident.
Court TV.
I'm sure we'll go full on.
Oh, I'm sorry, then I probably shouldn't play any of my clips if we're not spiking the ball today.
Uh, I've got, uh, okay, play.
I have, I think I have one clip on this, but you've got more.
You can start playing yours and I'll throw mine in when I think it's appropriate.
All right, just a quick kind of a primer.
Anderson Cooper, primetime CNN.
Of course, he has to get everybody ready.
Remember, it's all about Trump hopefully throwing in jail, certainly never letting him run for president again.
And if we can get any other people and get rid of them, any other politicians, that'll just be a bonus.
So we have to throw out some terms and get everybody primed and pumped.
Tonight, the leader of the so-called Proud Boys and four other top lieutenants in the far-right extremist group face seditious conspiracy charges.
These are the most serious charges brought by the Justice Department as part of the ongoing investigation into the violent insurrection on Capitol Hill last year.
Federal prosecutors accused Enrique Tarrio and his co-defendants of plotting the attack in advance and encouraging supporters to stop Congress from certifying the 2020 election.
The men have already pleaded not guilty to earlier charges.
Q!
Meanwhile, another group getting more attention since the attack on the Capitol is QAnon or Q.
Many of those who attack the Capitol are followers or supporters.
The supporters of QAnon spread all sorts of anti-Semitic and nonsensical conspiracies and disinformation.
You know, I've heard this lately.
I don't know why.
Maybe it's just me, but it feels like a trend that people are saying instead of.
Pooper saying all kinds of nonsense.
He says, it's nonsensical.
Everyone's saying nonsensical.
It feels like that's wrong.
I mean, I guess it's a correct word.
It was a good word.
It just feels weird.
Nonsense.
I don't know, I'm just noticing it.
The supporters of QAnon spread all sorts of antisemitic and nonsensical conspiracies and disinformation.
They have found a niche on social media, certainly within the Republican Party, but CNN's Daniel Sullivan discovered some GOP candidates who've seemingly supported QAnon beliefs in the past May now trying to be distancing themselves from it.
So they go into a seven minute package, you know, trying to play gaslight all kinds of people.
I love this one, though, because every Marjorie Taylor green into it.
She was a big every everybody.
Of course, this is it's a it's not just a two for three for it's a quinn for We're just gonna get as many, we're gonna smear as many people as possible.
I think you invented a new term there.
Quinfer?
Quinfer?
You like the Quinfer?
Actually, I do like it.
Quinfer.
Including... We'll call this show title Quinfer.
I'm writing it down.
Uh, including, um, other politicians.
So, uh, Ron DeSantis is also a danger, obviously, because, you know, he won't let you say gay and all these horrible things.
He's just, this guy's no good.
He's a Trump-lite.
And, uh, in comes Michael Steele, former head of the Republican Party.
Is he still- Oh, this dude.
Is he still a Republican or did he quit the party?
No, he stays a Republican so that way he can be on CNN and MSNBC as their token Republican.
And black, which is even better.
Yeah, well he's kind of their uncle Republican.
So here's Michael Steele, I think it is MSNBC actually, and when he makes this pronunciation gaffe, I'm not sure if what he was saying might not have just been scripted on a screen in front of him because I do not know how you make this mistake.
See if you can catch it.
Ron DeSantis over the weekend in a conservative straw poll beat out Trump.
But Ron DeSantis, that's just another version of Trump.
When you're looking at someone like DeSantis, who is just a dressier, a more suave and de boner version of the Trump man, right?
Did he mean to say debonair?
Or did he mean to say de boner?
No, he's meant to say debonair, and I think it was on the prompter.
Well, he's at home.
He's in his office.
Oh, well, then he memorized it.
Or he had it on the screen.
But, I mean, that's really weird.
If you go to Debonair, Deboner, Debonair, Deboner.
I don't think that's as out there as some of the other stuff we've caught.
Personally, I don't think so.
Because Debonair, people can't say Debonair.
Oh, yes.
Then it goes to Deboner?
Come on.
It's a little much.
A more suave and Deboner version.
Funny.
I'm not going to argue the funny part.
Thank you.
But I think your 12-year-old version of the interpretation of the mistake is... I'm not following.
I'm not into it.
Oh, don't worry.
The show is only going to go downhill from here.
A more suave and de boner version of the Trump man.
right he's going to be the more you play it the funnier it is oh who's that hello 12 year old johnny c uh-huh version of the trump man right he's going to be able to go out there and try to play that he said the trump man he said the trump man oh yeah well Oh, come on.
Now I'm rolling back to De Boner.
A more suave and De Boner version of the Trump man, right?
He's going to be able to go out there and try to play that lane that's going to keep that Trump voter in play.
But the problem is, still remains for someone like him, is Donald Trump.
Because he's hit so much to Trump.
When Trump gets mad at him, and Trump is not feeling him right now because he's been saying all this stuff.
Okay, sure.
Trump, he's beating him in these straw polls.
There is a point where there's going to be an accounting by Trump.
And when Trump decides that he's had enough of DeSantis, that's when that race gets very, very interesting because who's going to be the fallback?
Yeah.
Okay.
Sure.
Right on cue, the Department of Homeland Security comes out with a statement.
As reported by AP, in the coming months, we expect the threat environment to become more dynamic as several high profile events could be exploited to justify acts of violence and a range of possible targets.
Hmm?
Mm-hmm.
Oh, that's good.
They just go arrest more people.
Just arrest random Republicans.
That's what they're doing.
What the committee, or perhaps the Democratic leadership, has done is very smart.
They have hired James Golston to You remember during the first and second Trump impeachment, they had some super lawyer who was leading it and then they switched it off with a couple other people.
Someone was always leading the charge.
So they've hired a guy to present this in prime time.
James Goldston.
Ever hear of him?
Yeah, he's the producer for Good Morning America.
Yeah.
Yes.
He only left in 2021.
He's a total TV guy.
So I wonder, are they going to have slick video presentations and sound effects?
Pistol ball?
Well, I mean, when you really bring in media trickery and you start showing that in prime time and it's also shown in Congress and it's presented as real, anything presented on videotape has to be questioned, just by definition.
No, the whole thing is a scam.
I'd like to know, are all the networks going to play this?
Did you look into that?
Yes, I did.
I do not know about the actual M5M networks.
I think that they will be carrying some of it.
The MSNBC and CNN are going full on live and Fox is not.
They will not be happy.
They gotta have some mainstream.
PBS, they've gotta carry it.
Let's see, Jan 6, prime time, where to watch?
Let's see.
Let's see if we get lucky.
I would expect the trolls to have some of this information for us, but here we go.
We'll do this search ourselves.
Now, C-SPAN, of course, we'll be carrying it.
Yeah, well that makes sense.
They're the only ones who should carry it.
ESPN will carry it according to the troll room.
Wouldn't actually surprise me if ESPN carried it.
Yeah.
They put the Hollywood producer in there, I think as a lure to the mainstream.
Look, it's not going to be that bad.
We got a producer here, one of your men, one of your guys, one of your guys you're used to.
By the way, I have to do a train report because I've never seen anything quite like this.
Okay.
There's stuff going toward China as we speak, on the line down there.
And it's mostly scrap metal, like gondolas and gondolas full of scrap metal.
There's some oil tanker cars, a lot of boxcars that have graffiti all over them.
We shipped them, I don't know what the boxcar is, how they get them loaded.
But the thing, I don't know how long this train's gonna be, but it's already pretty long.
It's the first train I've seen on this track, on the main track from China.
That has seven engines in the front of it.
All seven needed to drag whatever they're carrying?
I have no idea.
Maybe they're just moving engines too, but there were seven.
I've never seen seven engines dragging, and this thing is long, dragging, and a bunch of cars are coming in now, which makes me wonder.
Well, I'm very excited for you.
You've never seen... Okay, I have my clips.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
I have a train report for you.
I have a train report.
It's short.
Listen up.
To celebrate Pride Month, the CTA's Pride Train is up and running.
This year's train features both the Philly and transgender flags for symbols of inclusion.
The Pride Train will travel on the Red Line through autumn.
Do you have the Red Line out there?
I don't know what the red line is.
Neither do I, but it seems like there's some issues.
There's a LGBTQ flag and the trans flag.
There's two different flags now.
Pretty soon the trans flag is going to push the LGBTQ flag out.
I think so.
I think you're right.
And the G's are already gone.
You watch the L's and the B's.
What's going to be left over?
The L's or the B's?
The G's have got to go.
The G's are done.
They're toast.
They're history.
They've got the monkey pox.
They're out.
So, that's how we got rid of them, monkeypox.
Will it be the B's or the L's who stay to fight the T's?
Because this is anything but a communité.
Well, the L's have been redefined as TERFs, so that should be a T. I think the L's have to go.
Because B's are all non-binary and all kinds of stuff.
That was Chicago, by the way, that clip.
The red line.
I thought you'd know the red line.
It's going to be beautiful.
All right, you have a clip about this?
Yeah, I think this is really, this is NPR's clip.
This is called a hearing NPR kicker shift.
Now we're turning our attention to another set of hearings.
The Democratic-led House Select Panel investigating the January 6th attack on the U.S.
Capitol.
Tomorrow night, in prime time, the committee will launch a series of hearings to reveal its findings.
Here's committee member Adam Schiff.
We're going to use whatever resources we can to make the presentations as compelling as possible.
We need to get across the danger to our democracy, how close we came to losing it, how many multiple lines of effort there were to overturn the election, how close we came to succeeding.
It's a pretty dramatic story and it has to be told in a dramatic way.
Is he going to be doing a reading as with the... What do you think?
He says it's a dramatic story and they got the CBS or the ABC guy there, the producer, Hollywood producer.
It's a dramatic story that has to be told in a dramatic way.
What do you think?
Yeah.
Yeah.
In fact... So they're going to dramatize this, which means fictionalize it, which is what he did before.
And so they're going to fictionalize this whole thing and try to make it so it's entertaining.
Except when you get a stooge-like chef who just looks creepy with his bug eyes and the rest of him.
Like I said before, I think it's the backfire.
You think it'll backfire.
Well, Jake Tapper was complaining about the dramatization of the news business in general.
He was on Colbert.
I think that he's also disappointed they didn't have the right material to use.
It's just, they could just, January 6th, I think he could just throw in guns, you know, that's all Trump's fault, it's all Republicans, it's all NRA.
And he was really, really upset, really, really upset with the coverage of Uvalde.
I mean, it was just not well done.
As horrified as we are, we're not actually seeing it.
We're not seeing anything.
Think about how shocking it is in a local crime report when you see like a little bit of blood on the sidewalk.
Yes.
It's stunning.
You never see that.
Well, who are we protecting?
I'm not calling for media to show anything that people, that family members don't want out there or whatever, but You know, I asked my team, like, after the Uvalde shooting, and again, I understand why people are horrified.
It's awful.
But, I mean, are there images of ambulances?
Are there images of...
Body bags?
Like, what is available?
Because we're not doing... Hey, call props!
Hey, the props suck, everybody!
Body bags?
Like, what is available?
Because we're not doing the public a service by just describing what happened and then all you see is a bunch of cops standing outside a building.
And it's just ultimately so horrific.
And I've said this a million times on my show.
The adults of the United States are failing the children of the United States.
Oh, yes.
Thank you.
Well said, Jake.
Well said.
What a ghoul!
What a ghoul!
One second.
They do show this stuff.
Remember the gas attacks in Syria where they had the people shaking and then foam coming out of their mouths?
Oh, you mean the White Helmets gambit?
Oh, the White Helmets.
They show that?
Why don't they... You know, I think... But he doesn't bring that up.
I mean, there are examples of where this is done.
As we know, the best way to tug at the heart... Oh, wait.
I want to get back to my clip.
Sorry.
We didn't finish it.
Yeah, we did.
That was the end of the clip.
No, that was but two.
Number two.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I didn't realize.
What is the panel saying it hopes to accomplish?
Well, members have said repeatedly they learned that democracy was under much more of a threat than many realized.
So they're going to delve into this organized nature of the attack, as well as the wider conspiracy around it, including the fake elector scheme they expanded on and the money that funded the attack and the buildup to it.
And sources tell us that that final hearing, for example, which is a little over two weeks away, will be co-led by two panel members, Virginia Democrat Elaine Luria and Illinois Republican Adam Kinzinger, and could focus on the flow of disinformation.
Now, neither would comment about that, but I did talk to Luria about what is planned this month.
Our goal as a committee is to paint a very clear picture with a contiguous thread from what started even before the election in November of 2020 and built up and ultimately culminated on January 6th with violence.
with violence Who got shot?
What one person got actually shot at the event?
Ashley Babbitt.
Ashley Babbitt.
Unarmed protester.
Shot in the face.
Neck.
They do have a plan, and the plan is as follows.
There is a bill in the House right now, and it's bipartisan in the Senate.
And they have what they believe is consensus to amend the Electoral Count Act to restrain the Vice President's role?
Other loopholes they want to close in the electoral system, which I think they're going to try and throw some filibuster stuff in there.
Of course, we haven't seen it, but I think the idea is to have this bill, this amendment to the Electoral Count Act, which would probably be unconstitutional, likely,
To have that ready, good to go, have some kind of consensus, throw in Romney and whoever else the Republicans are who will vote with the Democrats, then get everyone all jacked up with trauma-based entertainment in this primetime showing, and then try and use that to get the energy to get this bill passed, which may actually really change the way elections work in our country.
That, I think, is their plan.
Well, they're doing their best to get the, you know, here in California, they've, everyone has seen how Washington has done so well with their mail-in system.
Yeah.
And they've got a governor that nobody likes but somehow seems to get reelected year after year, this Inslee maniac, this guy who cares less about the people of Washington state as opposed to climate change.
And so now California is pretty much moving to 100 percent mail-in ballot.
We've got the last ballots we got were all designed to be mailed in or dropped off at the drop-off point.
Right, but California doesn't matter that much in the grand scheme.
No, but they got to lock it down while they can.
Because there is a cycle here.
We do get Republicans every so often, even though it hasn't happened for a while since we had a Republican party.
Can I just say, I think the big hope of the Republican party is this ouster, this recall of the district attorney in San Francisco.
There's something afoot.
Unfortunately, there's a great story in the Atlantic, the current Atlantic.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I forgot to renew my subscription.
It's online.
Yes.
About this, and it really was a progressives versus the left battle.
And the Republicans, they blamed Chesa Boudin, Boudin, Boudin Blanc.
He's the one who said, oh, it's a right wing conspiracy.
There's no right wingers in San Francisco.
There's no Republicans.
The Republicans have no hope ever.
But I have a clip.
But this mail-in thing, which is locking things down, so it's a done deal, whatever the case, let's play this about Arizona.
A judge has ruled that the Arizona legislature is within its constitutional rights to allow mail-in ballots, though GOP leaders in the state said they won't drop their efforts to block the voting method.
Let's zoom in on what's going on.
An Arizona judge has struck down a request by the state GOP to bar mail-in ballots in the upcoming election.
Mojave County Superior Court Judge Lee Jansen wrote in his ruling that there is nothing in the Arizona Constitution which expressly prohibits the legislature from authoring new voting laws including no-excuse mail-in ballots.
The judge added that the state constitution allows for the passage of new voting laws as long as ballot secrecy is guaranteed.
Arizona's no-excuse mail-in voting began with a law in 1991.
It requires early ballots to be returned in envelopes that do not reveal the voter's selections or political party affiliation.
And that is tamper evident when properly sealed.
About 89% of Arizona voters used this method in the 2020 general election.
But that year's highly disputed election outcomes sparked concerns about election integrity.
Arizona GOP said in a statement that it fears, if this ruling stands, Arizona's most vulnerable voters will be deprived of the protections to which they are constitutionally entitled.
The party said it seeks a system to restore for the sick, elderly, and other absentee voters so they can have the protection and reassurance of election officials safeguarding their votes from ballot traffickers.
The party chair, Dr. Kelly Ward, also tweeted that there is no chain of custody when a ballot is mailed.
Arizona GOP leaders said they're considering their next move, which may include an appeal in a higher court.
I have some thoughts on this.
Go ahead.
I was raised in a liberal environment, Democrat, and I remember in grammar school we were told about the problems with this sort of thing, and there's been some studies on it.
With balance?
Really?
In grammar school?
It wasn't about mail-in ballots, it was about how voting should take place in person because the problem in the Deep South, which was the big bugaboo, oh the Deep South, you have a majority of blacks in certain states and everybody there was white.
Everybody who got in, the representatives were white, the locals were white, everybody was white.
That's white supremacy.
So the blacks couldn't get a foothold and the reason we were told is because they would just buy the votes.
And they would go door to door and say, we'd like to get your vote, but we're going to pay you to vote for this guy.
So buying votes was a discussion.
Yeah.
And it was a bad idea.
So what had to happen was everything had to be, you had to get to the polls, you had to vote in person, you had to prove that.
If anybody could do the buying votes thing, now is the time.
Because you just go door-to-door.
Did you get your ballot?
Yeah, I'll give you ten bucks if you let me fill it out.
Oh, no, it's much better than that.
The harvesters go door-to-door.
They go into old folks' homes and say, yeah, we'll take care of that for you.
What did you want to vote?
Oh, Trump, man?
Okay, chick blue, chick blue, chick blue.
Oh, that happened in 2020?
Of course.
It's so obviously corrupt.
I don't hear anybody discussing it in those terms anymore.
It's a way to exclude voters.
It's a way to steal votes.
It's a vote-stealing mechanism.
And it's just like, oh, that's great.
You know, you just mail it in.
This is bullcrap.
I think that you and I both agree, and this is also the reason why the 2000 Mules documentary didn't really get the legs it should have, certainly not politically, because this is employed by certainly the Democrat Party and certainly the Republican Party.
They both do it.
There's a long history of it.
Florida knows all about it.
What I'm more interested in is that nobody, because of this mail-in ballot talk, and, you know, for sure, the Zuck bucks that went out and spent half a billion, almost half a billion dollars, helping, certainly the Democrat Party, who were in charge of the elections, get drop boxes and all kinds of stuff.
Yeah, in Wisconsin, I believe.
There's still, you know, the CISA.
Uh, which is the, uh, the government's cybersecurity, uh, watchdog has published once again, a complete vulnerability overview of the Dominion voting systems, including improper verification of crypto cryptographic signature.
Uh, mutable attestation or measurement reporting data, hidden functionality that no one knows what does, improper protection of alternate path.
I mean, there's all kinds of vulnerability and that shit runs on Android 5.1, by the way.
So that I have a problem with that as is.
And no one's talking about that.
Because that seems, in this day and age, that's kind of the best way to do it.
You know, you can certainly evaluate, oh, the ballots aren't working too well.
Looks like the other guys did a good job.
These mail-in ballots, as in California, I know, they all go through this machine that reads them.
Oh, that's even better.
That's even better.
So they shove it into the same machine.
Yeah, everything goes through the machines.
So they can keep a running tally, see how much they need to adjust.
And with they, I mean whomever.
I don't put this past any political party to mess with us.
Well, you have to assume the following.
When you have one party that pretty much dominates 70% of the political spectrum in one state, that's the party that's doing the cheating.
And you have to always have to assume that because people, if you put a group of people together, you know, some people want to go this way, some people, it's usually closer to, you know, 40, 60, 45, 55, 45, 55 is pretty common.
45, 55 is pretty common.
But when you have 70% of winning everything, No, no, no, no.
Both parties aren't doing it.
One party's doing it well and the other party's screwing it up.
The Chesa Boudin thing was kind of surprising because that went 40-60.
That's as big as the number could ever get.
Because the 40% who voted, oh, I think he's doing a great job.
We have 70 car break-ins a day.
It's not my car.
So democracy almost crumbled in front of our very eyes, whatever democracy looks like.
In the European Union, though, this week, there was an actual breakdown of democracy in Parliament.
I think this screwed up a lot of plans.
In particular because the far left and the far right decided to join together, which is, that's new, I think.
Yeah, you know, it's funny, it's new, but it's been talked about for years because the far, far, far left and the far, far, far right kind of wrap around and have a similar kind of look at life.
Well, in this case, this is part of the war in Ukraine, part of de-platforming Russia, kicking them off of the island, and that is, you know, the complete Green Deal.
And on deck was a vote to approve the ETS.
The European emissions trading system.
Oh, yeah, because they had that all good to go.
This is your carbon trading.
They're supposed to set a price on carbon.
We've been hearing that for the length of this show.
Yes, our show is and the carbon tax is So, so this is, this, when you have the emissions trading system, then you've got the carbon tax, you've got everything pretty much ready.
And the vote failed.
And I, and I have the audio, I cut out, uh, and it was chaos in Parliament.
The video is kind of fun to see.
Yeah, this is all a setup to do, this was not supposed to fail.
No, no, no, not at all.
And listen to how they run their democracy there.
Vote is closed and it is rejected.
By the way, I cut out most of the applause or shortened them down.
And the woman who's the chairwoman, I don't know who she is.
I need to look that up.
But she was displaying her Ukraine pride in the weirdest way.
She had a neck choker, which was a blue and yellow, kind of like a vinyl string, wrapped around her neck tightly three times with a bow in it.
It was like kinky almost.
It was very odd.
And that was her Ukraine pride display.
Vote is closed and it is rejected.
Uh, please, dear colleagues, I would like to give the floor to the rapporteur.
The rapporteur!
Mr. Peter Lisa, you have the floor, please.
We need a rapporteur of this show.
Rapporteur, please!
Dear colleagues, listen to the rapporteur.
The rapporteur!
This took a lot of time.
Is rapporteur fancy for a reporter?
What is a rapporteur, do you think?
I think it's something like a house speaker, but not a speaker necessarily, somebody who reports the results or something like that.
Well, he not only reports the results, he has some ideas.
Go ahead, Peter.
So, thank you, President.
Of course, it's a bad day for the European Parliament.
Bad day!
So there's some British guy yelling, it's democracy!
Ah, this is what's going down the tubes, brother.
President, of course it's a bad day for the European Parliament when you see... Democracy!
Yeah.
Shut up, you.
Dear colleagues, please allow the rapporteur who has worked for a long time on this file.
Oh, he's worked a long time.
Please come down, colleagues.
He's worked a long time on this.
Please, please, Ukraine, I have my yellow and blue choker on.
Please, let the rapporteur speak.
I think it's a shame, like in many occasions in this report, that the far right and the socialist and the Greens voted together.
But, of course, it's...
Please, dear colleagues, let...
The Council will be definitely earlier.
This is un-European.
We are now giving a lot of responsibility to the European Council.
The Council will be definitely earlier.
So the Council, the Council is, the way I understand how the European system works, the Council really makes all the decisions.
Parliament.
We've broken this down a number of times, and no matter how many times we do it, it's still stupid and confusing.
Yeah, so the Council are the ones who actually approve something, and Parliament can send red letters, you know, the red flag, yellow flag... Like referees.
Yeah, they can say, no, no, no, that's not good, and then it has to go back, and this is why things go round and round in circles.
So this guy clearly doesn't want that, for whatever reason.
I don't know if the Council wasn't going to approve it.
I don't know this rapporteur's agenda, but... I'm giving a lot of responsibility to the European Council.
The Council will be definitely earlier than the European Parliament, and that will reduce our influence.
Aha!
But we have the possibility, dear colleagues, we have the possibility to save the thing.
Ah, okay!
I get it.
Wait.
Your influence is reduced if you stand up for what you believe.
Yes.
So just go along with what they say and then your responsibilities will be increased.
Yes, and you will continue to have influence if you do what they say.
As long as you do what they say, you'll have influence.
But he has a very European Union idea of how to fix this scourge that took place.
If everybody thinks twice, I look at ECR.
You succeeded with a lot of votes, but still you voted against.
I don't see an explanation here.
I look at the Greens and the S&D.
You voted against, even though all the compromises that we made at any stage where EPP was a part.
Hello!
Calm down!
Where EPP was a part, we have succeeded.
But those points where you thought that a narrow majority with four votes in envy can dominate the parliament, you lost!
And democracy means... Calm down, please.
So democracy means... Here it comes.
Democracy means to respect the parliament and to have a reduction of the damage.
A reduction of the damage.
So hold on, democracy means to respect the parliament and to reduce the damage?
To give it a second trial.
All those that voted against today can think twice.
I would ask to refer it back to committee.
Please don't kill the ETS.
Vote for bringing it back to committee to have a second thought.
Thank you.
Yeah, so let's do it in the European way.
You know, just vote again.
You didn't vote right!
Take it back to committee, vote again.
That's the democracy we deserve, right?
I think his pronunciation of committee as comedy is perfect.
Comedy.
Comedy.
Yeah.
Yeah, so is that what it means to have democracy?
Is that the democracy that we want?
Well, this has been your theme for years.
You love the fact that they keep voting until they get it right.
This is what they do.
This is how the Lisbon Treaty got done.
This is everything.
Hey, you did it wrong there.
Whole countries, you did it wrong.
Yeah, you got it wrong.
Let's do it again.
You got it totally wrong.
Mm-hmm.
So that does screw up the system, and they have so many things lined up.
I learned about the Scandinavian-Mediterranean corridor.
This is news to me.
This is kind of like the EU's Belt and Road Initiative with pipelines, roads, train, airports on this corridor that goes from Finland and Sweden in the north, no coincidence that we've been seeing them in the news recently, all the way to Malta.
Along the way, it grabs Denmark, Northern Central and Southern Germany, of course, the industrial heartlands of Northern Italy, the Southern Italian ports.
And I think this is there.
I mean, if you look at it on the map, it almost looks like, oh, that's the new East and West.
Everything to the east of that, including Austria, that's Eurasia.
Go sit with Russia.
I'm telling you, there's something to this thing.
Oh, so you think it's similar to like they were trying to do that highway from Mexico straight to Canada right to the United States was going to cut the country in half.
Or the way the trains did in 1860 when we built the transcontinental railroad.
It cut the country in the northern south.
So as it turns out...
Do you remember the creepy Gotthard Tunnel in Switzerland when they had that hole?
Oh, yeah.
This took like, what, 10 years to build?
And it was like, unbelievably, they had a big party in it.
Well, the party was demonic.
Remember how nuts that was?
It was demonic.
It was a demonic party.
It's like some devil thing.
So that's a part of it.
They're going to have another party in 2026 when the Brenner Base Rail Tunnel opens up.
And then the corridor will be complete.
So 2026, this is moving along.
And I think that there's going to be natural gas coming up from, I'm sure, the leviathan fields and maybe some of that Israeli gas.
That field down in, I don't have clips, but there was a discussion on one of the networks about the Italians trying to tap into the Israelis are doing, trying to get the Italians to take their gas from that field that we discovered.
Yeah.
Ten years ago.
Yeah.
Leviathan.
And they, but they never still haven't piped it out.
They have, they still have issues with Cyprus or someplace that's in the way and they can't seem to get it out of there.
I think Greece may be the problem.
Greece are being dicks.
There's a bunch of problems and the conclusion was it's still going to be too late.
You can't just do it overnight.
You can't just put a pipeline down and have it running and you can't gas it.
You can't send enough tankers over.
It's no good.
So the Russians still got him over the barrel.
Now listen to this.
Uh, Westinghouse, that's a U.S.
company, and Energoatom have signed an agreement, now nine years, which will, I'm sorry, five, from five to nine newly built nuclear reactors in Ukraine.
Nine.
999.
So all of this talk, all of this stuff, everything that we're hearing, and on the down low in the background, we are setting up nuclear plants in Ukraine?
That country is perfect for everything, isn't it?
Why don't we just send our trash there too?
You know, recycle.
People don't realize how big Ukraine is.
It could have a lot of trash.
It's bigger than France.
It's bigger than Germany.
It's huge.
It's a monster.
Yeah.
We do have a lot of trash.
They might go in some good way of burning it.
And then the smoke goes into Russia.
Ha, ha, ha.
Yeah, exactly.
There's a lot going on.
And we're all going to be obsessed.
filmmakers.
Let's do some reporting here from some of these clips about Ukraine.
They had Ukraine.
Petraeus was on this CBS morning show and she had this, I forgot her name, the woman who used to be on the Today Show.
Nora?
No, no.
Used to be on the Today Show.
The older one that looks like she's 30 because she's had so much work done.
She's a very famous anchor.
Come on, chat room.
Famous anchor woman that used to be on, I guess, NBC or the Today Show.
She was there in the early days.
Diane?
Oh, Diane?
Diane?
No.
No.
I don't know.
Look, it's your clip.
No, I'm telling the chat room.
I'm not bitching at you.
Okay, I'll go get the name before.
Let's play the clip and we'll know it right away.
You'll hear her talking.
This is General Petraeus on CBS and this is where they bring in some of the issues that are wrong with sending all this crap over there.
Believe it or not, the fighting in Ukraine is well into its third month, with no end in sight.
David Martin has the Sunday Journal.
The battle for Ukraine has turned into a slugfest of dueling artillery.
It's not the lightning quick takedown Vladimir Putin intended, But former CIA director David Petraeus says there's no denying Russian progress.
They have made grinding, costly, but substantial gains.
They now control at least 20% of the country, if you include the areas, of course, that they took control of back in 2014.
A swath of territory that would look like this if it were in the United States.
Stretching from Orlando to North Carolina.
How do you think Vladimir Putin feels about the first hundred days?
I'm not sure that he would look in the mirror and say, you know, this hasn't gone at all well.
He would regard this as very much a work in progress.
If Russian forces are nowhere near as good as we thought they would be, are they still just good enough?
They are plastering the areas where they find Ukrainian resistance.
But that can only go on so long, because they're also taking very, very high losses.
By some estimates, they have lost 15,000 killed and 1,000 tanks.
The Ukrainians, too, are suffering losses.
60 to 100 soldiers killed each day.
But their equipment is being replenished by the U.S.
and other Western countries.
108 howitzers with a range up to 20 miles.
Four rocket systems which can fire salvos out to 40 miles.
Is the U.S.
giving Ukraine enough to just hold the line?
Or are they giving them enough to actually take back lost territory?
I think that we and the other countries are giving Ukraine enough to take back lost territory, but again, that does remain to be seen.
Huh.
You know, Petraeus is now the chairman of the KKR Global Institute.
Yeah, and KKR is, of course, What are they?
Craven, Craven, Kravis and Craven.
Yeah, so they're bandits basically and I think that… They're a private equity company.
Yes, and I just want to just read for a second before we go to your second clip.
The KKR Global Institute, an integral part of KKR investment process working in partnership with KKR deal teams, portfolios, blah, blah, blah.
To accomplish its mission, KGI integrates expertise and analysis about emerging developments and long-term trends in geopolitics, macroeconomics, demographics, energy, natural resource markets, technology, trade policy, as well as environmental, social, and governance considerations.
And, you know, KKR owns Axel Springer now, so they own a lot of media.
Well, they're in and out of stuff.
They own Ziff Davis for a while.
Yeah.
Or at least one of the guys did, one of the members of the team.
By the way, just as a little reminder, no matter how big you were in show business at any point in your life, Katie Couric being an example, you can still be forgotten.
In your own time.
Thanks, John.
I feel so good now.
Katie Couric, I mean, you know... Well, she's big on Instagram.
She maintains a... Does she?
Oh, she maintains a... She's funny on Instagram.
Yeah, you should.
I mean, I come across her from time to time, but I know that she posts every day.
Posts pictures of her feet.
You're more of the Insta-type than I am.
I'm not an Insta-type at all.
My wife is an Insta-type, and she shows stuff to me when Katie Couric's showing her feet or something weird.
Her feet?
Yeah, I think I can remember her showing her feet, and there was some story about her feet.
Oh God.
On Instagram, that's dangerous stuff.
People like that.
People who are really creepy about feet.
Feet.
You can get paid for doing feet pictures.
True story.
How much did you get?
Christina has actually been offered a hundred euros.
To show her feet?
To send a DM picture of her feet.
She was thinking about a whole business for a while.
I kind of talked her away from it.
Well, you know, it depends.
If you can leverage it, it's scalable.
Well, yes, with Podcasting 2.0 technology, of course!
That could be.
Okay, on to part two of these clips.
New equipment is not much use unless the Ukrainians can effectively employ it in combat.
The U.S.
has sent thousands of Javelin anti-tank missiles to Ukraine, but when American veteran Mark Hayward arrived at the front in March as a volunteer, he found they were useless.
They couldn't even turn the things on to tell whether they worked.
There were not enough batteries to power them.
Because they didn't have batteries, you can't do anything other than put this darn thing in your arms room and wait for, well, if the tanks come at us again, we'll pull it out and hope it works.
Using parts from broken computers, they designed a way to power the Javelins with motorcycle batteries.
It had a strong air of we're making this up as we go along.
And you're making it up while the Russians are two kilometers away?
No sir, we were making it up while the Russians were 1.6 kilometers away.
The javelins came out of storage and 96 hours later the Ukrainians recorded their first Russian tank kill.
Ukrainians have now gone on the offensive, both in the south, against the Russian-held city of Kherson, and in the north, outside Kharkiv.
Petraeus says it's an attempt to outflank the Russians.
If they can get through that and get into the soft spot of the Russian defenses, then it's very possible that they could just keep on going.
I personally think that it is a foregone conclusion that the Ukrainian military will beat the Russian military.
And when they finally retake those pieces of Ukraine that are currently occupied, they're going to find nothing left.
Alright, couple comments.
First, it was not Katie Couric.
Troll Room confirms Jane Pauly, in fact.
Jane Pauly is the voice you heard.
Exactly.
Okay, Jane Pauly who, I remember that clip well of her going- Even bigger!
Yeah, even bigger star at the time.
Ida, what's this email thing?
It's a great, it's a great clip.
Look at Jane Pauly, first email.
Uh, the second thing I'm happy about is this story, this kind of subtext here about the Javelins.
There is a podcast, Which I was alerted to, was brought to my attention, called Russians with Attitude!
And I have to say, it's a must listen.
And they had some, you know, so it's literally, I think the subhead of their podcast is, we're just two dudes talking about what we see, we live in Russia.
And no more, no less.
It's kind of a fun listen.
And they have their own opinions from their sources about the javelins.
Most, not all, but most of Western weapons are overrated to start with.
But there are some, again, you just read news and you read their first-hand accounts of, let's say, Eldonare people or Russian tank drivers, for example.
They talk about sometimes taking five or six hits from javelins or other type of the anti-tank weapons, air loss, and not only surviving, but one tank I know took six hits And guess what?
They still came back.
The guys had obviously a little bit of concussion there, but they survived and the tank was repaired.
That's why tanks proven time after time.
They can take a lot of punishment now, you know, especially against very many Western weapons, especially American ones, which are primarily commercial items.
They are for sale.
They are for making profit.
This is great!
What I think he's saying is, oh, the shit the Americans sell to other people, it's junk.
Yeah, that's exactly what you think he's saying.
That's exactly what he's saying.
I love that, and I believe it.
I totally believe it.
I do, too.
Hey, Bob, we got another order.
We got another $40 billion from Biden for Ukraine.
All right.
You know which ones.
Go to store room D. Let's put another package together for them.
Police.
What a scam.
This whole thing is a scam.
Well, there's scammish aspects to it.
I think these poor people dying is much of a scam.
Isn't that the ultimate price to pay for a scam?
For something that is just unnecessary and lame?
And it's not just that.
You know, we have this confiscation of Russian property everywhere.
Oh, and it's continuing now.
There's something new they were grabbing.
I didn't have a clip of it, or I didn't write it down, but Abramovich, that one guy.
Yeah, the soccer team owner guy.
He had a... What the hell was it he had some other thing they were trying to confiscate?
His wife, something.
Yeah, we take your wife.
This is ridiculous.
There's no due process.
This is unbelievable.
Nobody in the media seems to... If anybody was outraged...
More than one person, me, got outraged by this.
I think they'd stop doing it.
Well, in Candanavia, the Justice Minister was asked about about the legality of seizing assets from Russians.
So there's the media asking a legitimate question.
The answer was surprising.
Commissioner, I want to just ask you about C-19 and the idea of seizing and selling off Russian assets.
The idea that some of the rivers say that is on shaky legal ground.
How do you respond to that?
Well, look, we'll obviously tailor the provisions so that it could withstand a court challenge.
You don't have an absolute right to own private property in Canada.
I just stopped the clip there?
You don't have an absolute right to own property in Canada?
Play it again.
I thought you said seize property or something.
It could withstand a court challenge.
You don't have an absolute right to own private property in Canada.
You don't have an absolute right to own property in Canada?
To own private property.
Okay, private property.
What's private property?
I guess... Why can't you own private property in Canada?
I'm sure the word own is still to me is sketchy.
I'm not sure he said own.
It could withstand a court challenge.
You don't have an absolute right to own private property in Canada.
And believe me, he says you don't have the absolute right to own private property in Canada.
I'm not going to argue now, but after playing it over and over.
Hold on, let's finish the clip.
in Canada it is there are there are steps that are taken when expropriations happen at whatever level of government and we'll be sure to stay within those boundaries dude so how is that that maybe this that that some this has got to this has got to be referenced to something You don't say something like that unless there's a reason to say it.
In other words, we're under the assumption, I'd say in this country too, that private property is sancros, sancro-sacked.
Probably not.
Is it possible that what he said applies to us?
Yes.
So in other words, the clothes on your back, the clothes on your back in Canada, You don't own them.
No.
Or you don't have the real, you don't have an actual absolute right to own them.
No.
You own them only on a de facto basis.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah, you're wearing the clothes, so what?
Get out of here.
Yeah.
That kind of thing.
Yes, that sounds about right.
That sounds Can, uh, Candanavian to me.
Well, that fits right into the W.E.F.
and you won't own anything because you don't.
And you'll be happy.
You'll be very happy about it.
I find, I find that, that was an interesting one to me.
Okay, okay, okay, you get the clip of the day for digging that one out.
Oh, well, thank you.
It's... I'll take it.
Because it falls right into my complaining.
And, okay, it's interesting.
Well, we gotta look into this.
We have an absolute right to own property in this country.
Because they do take it away left and right.
When people are driving down the road, you got $10,000 on you, the cops can confiscate the money.
And they do it constantly around the country.
And it's a huge scandal.
People bitch and moan about it.
And they sue and sometimes they get the money back.
It might take years.
And so I think it falls into the same misunderstanding of our position as citizens.
Well, we have the civil asset forfeiture, which is taking place every single day.
That's what they do when they grab the $10,000.
And it's pretty much impossible to get it back, from what I understand.
Some people have gotten it back.
Right.
But they just take the money.
There's no reason in the world, they say, that you should be driving around with $10,000 on you.
thousand dollars on you.
Yeah, exactly.
And therefore, you're suspicious.
Therefore you... Oh!
This... Oh, well this fits right into something, uh... Yeah, Brennan!
Here we go!
People are innocent until, you know, alleged to be involved in some type of criminal activity.
And if we listen to Chicago Mayor Lori... Larry Lightfoot... Given the exacting standards that the state's attorney has for charging a case, which is proof beyond a reasonable doubt, when those case charges are brought, these people are guilty.
Wow!
It's contagious!
So, let's just play those two back-to-back.
So, John Brennan is a former director of CIA.
He said this, I think, before the unveiling of the Mueller report.
People are innocent until alleged to be involved in some type of criminal activity.
Yeah, so that's how the CIA thinks.
And again, you're Chicago Mayor Lightfoot.
Oh.
That's depressing.
Well, if you're in Chicago.
Well, yeah.
Another good reason to stay out of Chicago.
Hear that?
Hear that, Darren?
those cases charges are brought these people are guilty oh that's depressing well if you're in chicago well yeah another good reason to stay out of chicago hear that hear that darren stay out of chicago um i did want to make one quick observation about something just a You kind of took us off the track.
Where were we?
I know.
Well, let me just reset us.
Reset us.
Because I have an observation.
I was listening to DH Unplugged yesterday.
You know, the Tuesday show you do with Horowitz.
And what happens?
Yes, yeah.
For the first... I mean, this is now a thing.
Your dog, Rozzy, has interrupted our program many times in the past few months.
Has to go out, is making noise.
Now the dog is doing this on DH Unplugged.
This is new.
And in fact, I'm convinced, because when you start talking about certain things, the dog acts up.
Your dog, Rozzy, is a deep state dog.
It could be.
It doesn't have a collar, there's an activation, there's something going on with that dog, because it's getting a signal, man.
Well, she comes in here, for one thing, she's never interrupted that show before.
Right.
So she comes in, noses her way in, comes in and stands right next to me as we're talking about something and she just starts barking for no good reason.
Is she chipped?
She should be chipped.
And then I shoo her out and say, well, I don't know, maybe she's got a... nothing happens.
She just goes downstairs and that was that.
And I thought it was peculiar.
It seems to me that there's some deep state program that is activating the dog whenever you say something that is not acceptable, not within the norm, could even be hateful.
And this is taking place everywhere.
And in the state of New York, we're now requiring social media networks to monitor and report hateful conduct on their platforms.
Thank you, Senator Anna Kaplan, and thank you, Assigned Member Patricia Fahey.
Please, people, get a Mastodon account or something.
Before it's too late, find your tribe.
It's unbelievable.
It's beautiful.
This is what I've been hoping for.
Do we have any Elon news?
Has he killed that deal yet?
I guess Twitter said they were going to give him a subset of data so he could determine that there were less than 5% bots.
How is that acceptable?
It's not even possible.
Well, it seems like it would be possible.
No, I mean, how can you determine a bot?
Well, that's the core issue.
I mean, I can determine the bots because of all these, I don't know what they are, these women that keep following me on my... I should start putting a site up because another five are joined in.
Oh, these are the top heavies?
The top heavy women that are, uh, they have four photos up.
That's their total posts.
And, uh, they, they look like their photos that you'd find in back pages some years ago.
And, uh, but they're, you know, they're scattered all over the place.
They're bots of some sort, but I have no idea.
You know, that's interesting because a lot of, we've noticed podcasts in 2.0, all of a sudden some escort, I don't know if they're groups or individuals, they started creating accounts with a lot, and you know, podcast hosting companies, they're very distributed.
All of them have between 25,000, maybe 100,000 customers, some have a little bit more.
There's, you know, there's, there's some, some are a little bigger, but universally, they all got, all of a sudden, these new, because, you know, you have, like, free account, sign up, and then if you go beyond a certain level or whatever, you pay.
So there's this free tier, and it was all escort, escorts, and they use the album cover With their phone number.
Now, they're stupid because they would just put an empty MP3 file in there.
I was thinking, man, make some content.
You're doing it wrong.
What was this?
Well, this show, because, you know, we maintain the podcast index.
You say what?
What do you mean?
I was just, I was watching, there was a Jerry's, I'm reminded of a Jerry Feinstein.
I'm sorry, I'm not a good Seinfeld guy.
I don't, I don't know.
Well, it's not a Seinfeld thing necessarily, but the ending went like this.
Elaine tried to get into, she saw that this restaurant, somebody noticed that the new owners of the restaurant, all the women had big tops.
And so she was aghast at this and she says that she thinks there's some sort of a, you know, some sexism going on of some sort.
And so she decided to try to get a job there and made herself as flat as possible and the guy, knowing that there was a job opening, the guy refused to talk to her.
So she turns in a report to the city government.
She goes in there bitching and moaning, saying, this is terrible.
This restaurant, all the waitresses have these huge tops.
And then the inspectors got, oh, really?
Hey, Bill, I want you to come in here and listen to what she has to say.
And then a whole bunch of these inspectors are in there.
Oh, God, now what's the name of this place again?
We'll have to check it out.
Yeah, a version of that happened in the podcast industry briefly as everyone was like, holy crap.
Oh, okay, we should probably do something about this.
But again, what idiots?
I mean, make some content.
Now, now you're just spam, dumbos.
I don't know how we get on that.
I don't know.
You did, you just jumped on it.
No, there was some reason for it.
Something was in your craw.
Yeah, I don't know.
It's the podcasting, I guess.
Well, you know, the poor whores, they have really been cut out of everything.
They don't have any way of advertising anymore.
And I think they're getting hard up.
I'd say podcasting 2.0 is like the end of the line for them.
It's the end of the line for a lot of people, John.
Podcasting in general is the end of the line for many.
I'm surprised Jane Pauley isn't podcasting.
No, she gets another shot at the ring.
Another shot at the ring.
Before we, uh, take a break, I'd just like- And then getting- getting her mixed up with, uh, the other one, Katie Couric?
That has got to be- that's gotta hurt.
When she hears it, yeah.
Because it was Katie Couric that got her ousted.
Oh, that's right.
She was- she was the new thing.
Yeah.
Oh, that's horrible.
I'm so sorry, Jane Pauley.
How old is Jane?
Jane's gotta be up there now.
She looks terrific.
I don't know how old she is.
She's gotta be 80.
But, she looks like she's 30.
So she's done a great job.
She's got the right people working on her.
She's 71.
She's not 80.
She's close enough.
She doesn't look 71.
She has a little bit of that Burks look to her.
Deborah Burks look.
Totally.
It's almost the same look.
The hair is good though.
This is good hair for her.
She was always... It's a wig.
Okay.
I want to do a little bit of COVID news just to make sure we're updated on what's happening because stuff is coming in fast and furious now.
Turning out a recent data from the CDC on COVID-19 booster shots and breakthrough infections.
These stats from April 23rd of this year show boosted Americans are catching COVID at nearly double the rate of those who have not been boosted.
This is CBS, by the way.
So this is pretty.
Oh, yeah.
This is big news for them to report that.
Still, COVID-19 infections among the unvaccinated remains the highest group, as you see on your screens.
For more on this, let's bring in John Moore.
He's a professor of microbiology and immunology at Will Cornell Medical College.
And we appreciate you spending some time with us today.
First, what do you make of this data?
Is it possible unvaccinated Americans aren't testing as much, perhaps impacting what we're seeing here?
What do you think the answer is from this?
And by the way, the segment went on for five minutes.
another factor that the vaccines are protecting very well still against severe infection, severe disease and death.
So protection against those most critical factors ending up in hospital or worse, that is still there.
What do you think?
What do you think the answer is from this?
And by the way, the segment went on for five minutes.
I won't bore you with it, but a couple more.
But what do you think the answer?
The answer should be obviously that these boosters are ruining people's immune systems and leaving them wide open for COVID.
Because this seems to be what's going on.
Everyone gets the boosters.
Our governor, Gavin, not Gavin Newsom, but who was it that recently around here, some hot shot, this big shot, shot, another shot, just caught it.
I forgot.
Now I've lost track of who it was, but people are left and right.
All of them.
All of them.
Yeah, they're all getting it.
Yeah.
Yeah, every single person I know who's been vaccinated is getting it again.
But during this Omicron wave, we're seeing an increased number of mild infections, at-home type of infections, the inconvenient, having a cold, being off work, not great, but not the end of the world.
And that's because these Omicron variants are able to break through antibody protection and cause these mild infections.
So one of the dynamics here is that people feel after vaccination and boosting that they're more protected than they actually are.
So they increase their risks.
This is great.
I love this.
Oh, because you feel so protected because you were told it was safe and effective.
You go out and then you take more risk.
I, I'm actually a subscriber to that theory.
And I'll tell you why.
Because every time I see, you know, these events like the correspondents dinner where everyone got sick and all these other places.
These are crowded operations.
These are crowded places that people wouldn't have gone to otherwise.
And I think The vaccine didn't work in the first place, and I wouldn't go to these, Fauci wouldn't go to the thing, he's probably got shot out.
That was the best.
Well, so that's the people just testing positive, but the numbers that are coming from deaths Which are now being, the European database of adverse reactions, and these databases are typically 10% of the real reporting that should be in there.
They have 45,316 people dead, 4.4 million injured following COVID-19 vaccines.
And they've added a new category as to the reason for this.
And that is SADS.
S-A-D-S.
Sudden Adult Death Syndrome.
Yeah, it's called Dropping Dead.
I don't know why this has become a... Somebody wrote in with this.
Oh, it's everywhere.
News articles all over the place about S.A.
Yeah, they dreamed this thing up so you can kind of associate with sudden infant death, which happens to children.
And so people like Ray Liotta, who just died in his sleep, they got a new name for it so they won't call it, you know, Vax Death or whatever really caused it.
Vax Death.
Yeah, Vax Death.
VD!
It's Vax Death!
Yeah, VD.
The new VD.
I want to mention something before I lose thought of it.
So I had a prescription filled the other day.
And so they asked me, do you want your free COVID tests kit?
The test kit.
Yeah, all you have to do is ask for it, and you get it free.
So this is the government money again.
You already got three at home.
You already got free.
They sent me four in the mail.
And, you know, the government spent... Now they're giving them away at the pharmacy free.
By the way, everyone should go get them.
So I got one prescription filled in.
Guess how many test kits they gave me?
Free.
Five.
Eight.
Well, eight kids.
Yeah.
This is a, this is, there's an incredible money flow in testing.
I think, you know, this is a, this is a rip off of the American taxpayers.
Friends of ours who are a little bit younger than we are.
They're mid to late thirties.
I think I talked about them.
They had a different business that had to like a corporate twice, actually.
Yeah.
So they just bought a, a $2 million house.
Yeah, they're making bank off of the backs of the American taxpayers.
I congratulate them.
Me too!
I'm real happy for them.
Like, that's super.
Because their lives were destroyed.
Destroyed by the lockdown and shutdown.
Everything was gone.
And they just pivoted and said, oh, all right, government.
No.
Is that the way I'd like the world to be?
No, no.
And I got a boots on the ground report from one of our medical professionals who writes the following.
This is about Paxlovid.
Paxlovid is the Pfizer pill that when you get the COVID, you're supposed to take the Paxlovid and then you don't have severe response to it.
But then it comes back.
After it wears off, you still got it for some reason.
So here's our producer.
I am sitting in a training session regarding COVID antivirals, which my providers have been prescribing for over a month.
We now found out that we need to let patients know, after a month, to let patients know that Paxlavid decreases effectiveness of birth control pills.
That's something you'd think would be apparent somewhere.
Where's the CBS on this?
Where's NBC?
Oh, please.
Why do you think podcasting is so popular?
Why do people have to hear this on a podcast like the No Agenda show?
Yeah, you're telling me.
Another producer, Billy, he shared with us his religious exemption letter that he wrote for his first partner.
Uh, who had to, uh, you know, basically describe why she should have a religious exemption.
This thing is so good, it is so detailed, and it goes, and it's, it goes into every aspect you could imagine of faith and religion, and it's, I mean, this is, it's a template.
It's a beautiful, if you, if you need, if you're looking for religious exemptions in the, in the show notes, religiousexemption.pdf it is it is a sight to be to be seen it is so beautiful and it works so there you go we have two tips already for you here on the no agenda show worth the price of admission and with that i'd like to thank you for your courage say in the morning to you the man who put the c in the covid price of admission ladies and gentlemen my partner my friend on the other end mr john c dvorak
Uh, in the morning, Mr. Adam Curry.
Also, in the morning, our ships to see Boots of the Graphene, the Air Subs, and the one of the Davidson Knights out there.
In the morning to all the trolls in the troll room.
It is a Thursday.
Let's see, you know, usually counts are a little bit low, but we'll have a... Let's see.
There we go.
Come on, trolls.
Let's see how many we got.
Oh, they're scurrying away!
Woo-hoo!
Oh, yes.
Uh, 1850.
That's a little above last Thursday, I think.
Can we have 17 something last Thursday?
No, it's not great.
We'll do 2,000 on Thursday.
We do.
Alright, 2,000 trolls next Thursday.
We're going for 2,000.
2,000, I tell ya.
Ah, that's the troll room.
And oh, I should tell you, today the No Agenda show is live in the Podcasting 2.0 apps, which means if you're using, I think, Podverse and CurioCaster, you got a notification when the stream went live.
You open it up, you hear the stream, the troll room is right there!
How cool is that?
Yeah, we're making noise, we're making stuff move.
So that's one way you can join the Troll Room, is go to newpodcastapps.com, get one of those.
You can also always hang out with us over on the Mastodon, the Fediverse, which means you can follow John C. Dvorak at knowagendasocial.com, Adam at knowagendasocial.com.
This is homework for you.
Go find a mastodon that you can sign up and then follow us.
This is the future.
Don't let social media monitor you for hate speech and try and de-platform you.
Come spew your hate speech.
That's fine.
Yeah, come on, spew some hate speech and people can just block you and there's no algos to screw it all up.
It's the Fediverse.
It's beautiful.
And you love it much more than... Do you want a dose of hate speech every so often?
There's plenty of people to provide it.
Yeah, you can go ask.
Hey, could someone throw some hate speech at me?
You know, people will do that.
It's a good thing.
I see no issues with that.
And of course you can block everybody and everybody can block you and there's no real rules.
It's just a community of people.
So...
Sonic Control.
The Mastodon.
I want to thank the artist for episode 1457.
We titled that one Magitard.
How could we not?
Um, and the art was, I mean, it was pretty apparent and I'm so happy we happened to choose this piece by network net networks by Nessworks.
Uh, cause looking at the noagendasocial.com, he spent a lot of time on it.
He was, he was drawing this thing two days ahead of time, hoping that the, The bees, now classified as fish, would come up on the show.
It's very dangerous to do this, because you could wind up putting a lot of work into something, and we don't cover the topic, and then it's gone.
But this bee that he made, with the California, you know, kind of coin in the background, or the seal, the great seal of California, was protected.
It was just a beautiful piece, right down to the lettering, the no agenda lettering.
Everything was good about it.
Yeah, it was a killer.
That's all you're going to say about it?
It's a killer bee.
Okay.
Now, why did we choose this?
We did look at some other things.
I personally... I kind of like... You like stupid.
I did like stupid from Tantaniel.
I did like that.
But the bee, I think, superseded that.
Oh, yeah.
What else did we have?
We had... Oh, there was one that we liked.
We both laughed.
Ah-ha-ha!
Which was the queen's dead meat.
Yeah, we actually considered that for a minute or two.
Well, no.
Not really.
Ten seconds max.
We felt it was bad.
No, it was bad.
It was too much.
Tantaniel also did a house milker, which that joke just didn't translate with the udders underneath the house.
Well, you liked that one a little bit, but it didn't work.
No, it didn't.
It was a lot of messy stuff, it seemed like to me.
You know, fish, like bees.
Okay.
People still trying to do cheesecake.
Well, doing the fish as a bee, unfortunately it had to compete with extremely well done art, but the bumblefish I thought was the best of the group in terms of just the job of putting some fins on a bumblebee.
I thought that was well done.
The whole piece was not going to catch anyone's eye, but I just thought that job she did with the bumblebee was good.
And I think that was it, wasn't it?
Yeah, there wasn't a lot going on.
Obviously, we're losing some artists because of the time shift of the live stream, and we're gaining some artists.
Yeah, you pick up a few.
We saw Paul Couture come back on the last show.
We haven't seen him in ages.
So, this is good.
The shift is good, I feel.
We really appreciate Network.
I said it again.
This is new.
You've never done this before.
I don't know why this is happening.
This is a problem.
Did you watch the movie Network recently?
I did this morning.
Someone sent me that classic clip.
That's gotta be it.
Might have.
We're mad as hell.
We're not going to take it anymore.
Yeah, that must be it.
I appreciate it, Nestworks, and the work of all the artists.
If you're an artist, you can actually, if you're listening to the live stream, you can follow along at noagendaartgenerator.com.
See what we're talking about.
And Tina does that.
She's at work and it's not busy.
The minute we're discussing it, she opens it up, looks at it, and then after the show, she's still refreshing this to see if she can guess what we'll pick.
This has turned into a whole game.
We need to gamify that.
Hmm.
Needs work.
Needs work.
Gamified enough.
No, you're never gamified enough.
You can also see these images in the chapters in Podcasting 2.0.
Well, somebody wants to put together a bidding system or some sort of a betting system just for tokens.
This sounds highly illegal.
Okay.
Just for tokens.
No money involved.
There are illegalities when it comes to betting.
Lotteries.
The most naive people that do blogs and even podcasts, I think, they don't understand the lottery laws.
We're going to do a lottery.
No, you don't do those.
You're going to get thrown in jail.
Not in jail, but you're going to get fined.
It's going to cost you more and the lottery is going to pay off.
You have to be careful.
You can do just a tokenized thing where there's no money involved.
Sure.
We'll use Solano.
Well, there's some shit coined for it.
How does it work?
What's the mechanics with the tokens?
So gambling?
No, no, it's just a way of betting and then accumulating so much and then the winner is announced.
I think the term token by itself is a problem legally these days.
It's seen as a crypto.
It's just wins.
You win.
This is what we do closer to the pin contest.
You get a t-shirt.
Anyone can enter.
It doesn't cost anything to enter.
Anyone can enter is one of the keys, by the way.
If you cut entry off to a certain group of people.
Like, you have to subscribe, then you can enter.
No, no, no.
You can't do that.
It's illegal.
All right.
Well, we'll work on it.
No, I'm not going to work on it.
You're not going to work on it.
Me neither.
We've gone as far as we're going.
That's pretty much it.
NoahGenderArtGenerator.com.
Thank you very much, artists and new artists.
You're welcome to join in in this competition where you win nothing but scorn.
Unless you win.
You win score.
A lot of scoring to go around.
Unless you win.
Let's thank our executive and associate executive producers for episode 1458.
It's more important than ever that you support your alternative media.
We've been doing this for 15 years.
I think we gave you some good tips.
Maybe you don't want to get pregnant and you did take Paxlivid.
I mean, I'm just saying there's these small little items that you from time to time can pick up.
Or maybe you just laughed your ass off.
Either way, if that was of any value to you, please tally it up.
Put a number on it.
Whatever is valuable to you.
And send it right back to us.
There's many ways to do it.
Dvorak.org slash NA.
And we'll kick it off with our first... Oh, I don't have the... Do you have the printout of this?
Yeah, I do.
Could you do this one?
Because I don't have it really here.
This is John Alberini.
Sorry, John Alberini.
And he's in Guerneville, California, which we used to... I've gone into this before, but it used to be pronounced Gurn-ee-ville.
It's a flood zone area in California that people who live there usually have really good insurance and can profit from it every, I think about every eight years they have a flood.
The 131313.
Wow.
Oh, that's interesting.
He writes in, please accept this donation of 131313.
To continue cranking out new episodes of the best podcast in the universe.
I really look forward to hearing your latest media deconstructions every Thursday and second Thursday of the week.
The old joke lives.
This donation brings you to the level of baronet.
See accounting below.
I'd like to claim the title of Sir Lee Knight of debauchery if it's available.
I believe so.
Debauchery maybe even.
It could be debauchery, but I always call it debauchery.
Mm-hmm.
And to have, uh, and to have Cellar Master Brewing Dank Williams D.I.P.A.
Double I.P.A.
I believe that's what it stands for.
Um, so you want some Cellar Master's Brewing Dank Williams D.I.P.A.
And?
And a bottle of Jefferson's Ocean Voice 20 bourbon at the round table.
That's an expensive day for us.
I'm just going to break the budget.
Okay.
Now, of course.
Jingles.
Bugs.
Bugs.
Is that true?
That's true.
Fist bump.
Amen.
That's an interesting one.
Please add me to the birthday list to celebrate my 63rd.
You're on the list at June 8th.
Also, if it's not too much to ask, I'd like some house selling and retirement karma as I enter into retirement, June 13th.
Okay.
What's the difference between June 12th, June 13th and June 14th to a person like you?
And people, prepare to move on to greener pastures outside of California.
Smart move, yeah.
Thank you both for all you do, and keep up the good work.
John Alberini in Gurneyville, California.
Sorry about that.
I love bugs!
Bugs, bugs, bugs!
Tastes like poop.
Is that true, you think?
That's true.
Amen!
Fist bump!
You've got karma.
That's weird.
That's the way to do it right.
You tell a story.
Yeah, although that's weird that that's true was the wrong one.
It wasn't the crazy chicks.
Yeah, but it still worked.
It still worked.
No, it did.
It did.
I just want to make sure we played it for him.
Thank you very much.
Nice one.

After listening for two years and only giving a smattering of a donation, now is the time for an instantite donation.
Please knight me, Sir Christobal of the Upper Trinity.
Thank you for keeping us all sane.
That's it.
Beautiful.
Great note, Christopher.
Thank you.
Look forward to seeing you on the podium today.
Uh, Kieran Cassidy, K-I-E-R-O-N, in De Meirne.
De Meirne.
That is in Holland.
De Meirne.
De Meirne.
The Lakes is what that means.
333.33.
It's the Lakes.
And he or she, is that a male or female name?
I think, that's not a Dutch name, so probably Kieran, male.
It could be like Kieran.
Could be.
But we don't know.
But the note is simple.
It says, effin' brilliant!
Okay.
We could not agree more.
John Edwards is in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 333.33.
In the morning, John and Adam, please accept my donation of 333.33 for the following reasons.
One, this is in memory of my late friend Tim Flood, who passed at 91 after a long, beautiful life.
I sat in pew 33 during his memorial service.
In honor of Sir Andrew and Dame Orchid Thief, who hosted an excellent No Agenda meetup in Pittsburgh this past weekend, and three, because calling Geoffrey Toobin a master verbator on the last episode was sublime.
Medium notes keep you from getting COVID, I read on the internet.
Could I please request China is asshole?
By medium notes, I think we went back and forth, didn't we?
And he said that means it's not too long, it's not too short, it's just right.
China is asshole!
And we appreciate it, John.
Thank you.
Michael Henry in Snellville, Georgia. 333.33.
And he writes, Sir Michael Henry of Atlanta thanking you two for all the hard work watching the shit news channels.
So we don't have to.
Love and lit and karma for all the producers of No Agenda.
Aww, that's always nice.
You've got karma.
We keep rolling on the 333-33 train.
Joseph Tisch from Pauline, South Carolina.
No note, double karma.
You've got karma.
Lyle Pote in Concord, North Carolina, 333.33.
As we continue today's extravaganza of executive producers.
This donation is for my best friend, Zach, who hit me in the mouth 18 months ago.
We are currently on vacation with our families in the outer banks of North Carolina.
Oh, and Kara and Melanie are douchebags.
All right, that's one.
Douchebag!
And that's two.
Douchebag!
Thanks for the best podcast in the universe.
Brian Pesky, Pesky, Pesky, Saline, Michigan.
Again, 333.33, my first executive producer and a moderately buzzed no-dation.
Keep up the excellent working order of the show!
Maybe it's the Merlot talking.
Love you guys!
Thank you, Brian.
I have no note from Chap Williams in Edmond.
No, Chap Williams, that came in as a check, a bank check, 333.33 from Edmond, Oklahoma, and usually there's an email that came in.
No email came in to accompany it, so he'll write in when he feels like it.
We move to Tom and Rhonda Pyburn in Athens, Alabama, 333, in honor of my wife Rhonda and I's 25th wedding anniversary, and they never had a fight.
I would like to share some treasure with you two.
Please, de-douche us.
Okay.
You've been de-douched.
This is her second executive producer donation towards her quest to damehood.
Your podcast has kept us from becoming blackpilled during the M5M onslaught of misinformation.
Did that stop?
Did it stop somehow?
An outright lies!
I've been contacting local food vendors in my search for yak testicles.
So far, I've been met with laughter and a few hang-ups.
I faced a similar situation when I attempted to buy horse meat a few years back.
John, what was the name of the company you bought your yak from?
It is, I have it right here.
Adele Yaks.
And, let me get the glasses on again so I can see this.
He's obtained, you can call him.
That's the way to do it.
There's also www.yakmeat.us.
but you can call them 970-249-1734 orders Operators are standing by as we speak.
Say hi for me.
Hi, I'm Cary from Yak Meat Express.
Continuing.
Any suggestions for acquiring horse meat would be appreciated.
Horse meat's illegal in most states.
That's the problem.
Oh, I didn't know that.
It's illegal to sell, buy?
Is it illegal to kill your horse?
Yeah, it's kind of a... It's like selling dog meat.
It's not legal.
You can get it.
There are vendors, but it's sold as dog food.
Yeah.
And you'd have to talk to an amenable butcher that can get it for you.
I don't think it's something you can just easily get.
I can get you some ground up donkey meat.
That's my buddy here who did my generator.
He's like, yeah, I'm gonna get a donkey and grind it up for my dog.
These people are interesting.
I had to think of you for some reason.
I had to think of you for some reason.
I don't know.
It's like, oh, sounds good.
Sounds good.
Hey, you want a donkey taco or kick you in the ass?
Ooh, and he's got the branding down already.
Get a kick out of donkey.
Jingles.
We humbly request bugs.
I'm going to give you the whole load.
Two to the head and yak karma.
Thank you for your courage, Tom and Rhonda Pyburn.
I love bugs!
Bugs, bugs, bugs!
I'm I'm gonna give you the whole load today.
Tastes like poop.
You've got... Karma.
No, I'm glad you like that.
That was on the fly.
Yeah, I'm a DJ.
Heather Carlson in Holiday, Florida, 333-33.
Oh, no 33, just 333.
I'm donating 333 on behalf of my husband, John, to get him one step closer to knighthood.
Or maybe this puts him over the top.
I don't know.
I figured it was time to donate after a couple of signs from the universe.
We went out to eat a couple of weeks ago and the bill was 33.33.
And my following paycheck had exactly 3.33 of overtime.
I'm sending that to you for the value you've brought over the decade we've been listening.
Boom!
Can I get an Al Sharpton compilation and some human resource karma, please?
I love that.
Thank you.
Now that's an excellent example of value for value.
Hits it right there.
Thank you.
Thanks to you, Ed.
Is this Crown Hog Day 2?
We are watching That Was Attorney General Eric Holden, ABD, about some Republicans at home are already beating the drums of war.
Today, the Pentagon refuted that claim.
And he said the American people do not want him to, quote, they do not want him dwindling his thumbs.
You've got karma. .
It's like a goldmine.
Kasha G. Oh, yes, this was a very interesting email.
You actually conversed with Kasha.
Do you want to do this note?
Sure, Kasha.
A G in Cape Coral, Florida.
Another Floridian.
222.22, a row of ducks.
The two of you together are a perfect mixture.
Adam, you remind me of myself, getting so excited about things.
And John, I admire your stoicism, your logical thinking, and your grounding comments in times when Adam is more hot-headed.
What is this all about now?
It'll be okay.
I'm a Polish native, so boots on the foreign ground when it comes to Polish matters.
Okay, so she's in Poland.
So she has some comments she wants to tell us about.
Number one, Radek Sikorski, the guy from the Polish parliament from the previous episode, we played a clip of him.
When it comes to Poland, I'm sorry.
Okay, let me just read this over.
Radek Sikorski, the guy from the Polish parliament with the previous episode is a spook.
No kidding.
The ruling party of Poland has dirt on him, but they're afraid to publish it, probably because they would implicate themselves in the process, too.
He is married to Anne Applebaum.
And I would suggest... Ah, yes!
Now I remember what it was all about.
Yes, Anne Applebaum.
I would suggest going to the wiki page of Ann Applebaum and asking yourself, can one person do all these things?
Well, what I like, because I went to her wiki page when you suggested that, and once I saw that she went to Sidwell and Friends.
Oh yeah, that's the one.
I didn't catch that at first.
Well, that's where my cousins all went.
Yeah, that's where all your spook cousins all went.
Spook cousins!
Hey, are you a spook?
Do you have kids?
Sidwell Friends is for you!
I find that peculiar that they would spookify children at that age.
That's a grammar school, isn't it?
It's like an elementary school.
I don't know if they're literally spookifying, but it's all the kids of the spooks, and then they go on to Williams and Mary.
I mean, that's the path of DC.
I've seen it firsthand.
It's a little too, okay.
I don't, you know, I've said this before, because you hear the, you remember that woman that was the CIA disguise expert?
Yeah, she was talking to Kara Swisher and Kara was all giddy about it.
We don't know what to do with social media because if you're not on social media, people say, oh, it must be a spook.
And then, so they don't know, they're beside themselves on how to deal with social media.
But when you have something like this entry, I mean, come on, get a clue.
Back it off.
Make it real easy for us.
Number two, she says, he writes.
I've been listening since the first JRE appearance just recently.
I went back to listen to your coverage of the Smolensk plane crash incident.
This is the one.
It was on 4-10-2010.
This is when it happened.
We discuss it to an extreme on this show.
And she went and looked us up to see, you know, she said, well, who are these two guys?
Because there was video footage of the plane crashed and soldiers going in and shooting survivors.
Shooting guys in the head.
The whole Polish government was just adonned.
The Russians.
It was the Russians.
Another reason the Polish hate the Russians.
I was curious if you knew what really happened.
And you did!
Right away!
That is why I'm donating today.
So there you go.
Anything else?
That was it?
Well, there might be more.
Is there more?
Let me click on this.
Well, there's a number three.
Oh, yes, there is.
I'm sorry.
I'm donating today.
Number three.
Just like John, I was stupid coming out of college.
If it wasn't for my late stepfather, I would have been similar to AOC and a total libtard by now.
Michael was instrumental in deconstructing the reality and uneducating me on how the world really worked, heated debates, and his patience resulted in the human being that I am today, and I would never be more grateful.
I could never be more grateful to him.
I miss him dearly.
Starting now, I'll be working on a knighthood in his honor.
Damehood, in your case.
Light and light.
Love and light.
Love and light.
Kasia G. All right, Kasia G. Thank you very much.
We got another person from Poland who also wrote in, said similar things about I wonder if that's related to Sir Geoffrey Tohig.
Kyle is in Spokane, Washington.
And, uh, RoaDux, 222.22.
In the morning, Adam and John, thank you for your courage.
I was recently called out as a douchebag when my friend Brian, who punched me in the mouth a year ago, I could use a de-douching.
Well, it certainly sounds like it.
You've been de-douched.
I'd appreciate some jobs karma for myself and health karma for my dad, who has a mild case of the couf, as well as my girlfriend, Jen, with a G, as she recovers from ACL surgery and has trouble remembering to take it easy because she had ACL surgery.
Request yeah, no, yeah, no so we can all get that Beals medley stuck in our heads for the weekend.
Thank you very much, Kyle.
Yeah, you bet.
Yeah, no.
Daniel Booth in Lust Wages, Nevada.
Uh, 2-2-2, another row of ducks.
On my last oceanic crossing, I was assigned 3-3-3-3.
For my transponder code, I'm flying an A-G-4.
Please de-douche me.
You've been de-douched.
Enlisting since Rogan.
Uh, jingle.
L. Sharpton.
Respect and jobs, Karma.
Hey, he's flying a G-4?
That's what he says.
Wow!
Swing by Gillespie Airport, brother!
Hey.
What?
Hayward.
Oh!
I'll take a ride.
Hayward, then Gillespie, and back again!
R-E-S-P-I-C-T.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
You've got karma.
Um... In the morning, says Fred Robertson.
Another row of ducks.
He's from Camden, Ohio.
First donation, please de-douche me.
You've been de-douched.
Now I realize that, uh, for some reason I didn't get these jingles for him.
He says, uh, I have to call out my dear friend, Beth Cox, who introduced me to the best podcast in the universe.
Well, there you go.
Please play get vaccinated.
No.
And the longest of the Rev.
Um, we just played, uh, the Rev.
Um, I need the, uh, ISO.
No.
You know, we have so many versions of no, of the ISO no, that I can't even find it anymore.
I almost can't find it in the midst of everything.
So instead of, you know what, here's what I'll do with the Reverend Al.
I got this for you.
I got it.
I'll pick it up from where we left off on that previous one.
It'll be perfect.
Get vaccinated.
No.
Intravenous fluids and pills coated all week.
We don't leave our women or men in uniform behind.
It's a monument to the hubris of Dick Cheney.
Representative Raul Ara Labrador.
Years of abuse.
I personally apologize to Mr. Pevis.
Just ask.
You've got karma.
I love the rev.
Susan Johnson.

This is a row of ducks with an egg.
The donation is a switcheroo to honor Elliot's 39th trip around the sun.
Should create a new palindrome.
Some for him.
Please add him to the birthday list for 69.
I don't know what that all means.
Adam for the birthday list for 6ix9ine, thank you for your epic show and insightful analysis.
Sharpton's, what is it with Sharpton?
I don't know, people loving the sharp.
Sharpton medley and a yak karma for all.
Tonight is the measure of whether the country begins in the state of Wisconsin a national drive to push back Or whether we have more to go to build a movement of resistance.
But resist we much.
We must and we will much about that be committed.
Joining me now... What happened?
What happened to the karma?
Dammit.
You've got karma.
That was weird.
Alright.
Then we have Dave.
This was the Yak Karma, wasn't it?
We have, uh... Oh, Yak Karma.
Is that what went wrong?
Something went wrong with that.
Let me try it again.
There we go.
You've got... Karma.
Fixed it.
Then we have... The Yaks sound like Borborygni.
It's a Yak.
I've confirmed it.
It's a Yak.
We have our Duke of America's Heartland in the Arabian Peninsula, Sir Dave Fugazotto from Gladstone, Missouri, 202.02.
Greetings!
Requesting a bit of Dame Isabella, as Dame Isabella has an Irish dance competition this weekend.
She's just one dance shy of becoming a champion dancer.
And this is taking place in, of all places, Austin, Texas.
And so when we heard that our Duke and Dame Isabella and Dame Melody were coming to Austin, we said, we'd love to come and see this spectacle.
So Saturday morning, 9.30, we'll be at the competition.
I can't wait to bring a report.
This is Irish dancing, which is kind of crazy and cool at the same time.
Yeah, we're excited to see it.
Here's to karma.
You've got karma.
And we'll be rooting for you.
We're not allowed to film, by the way.
Yeah, no, you're not allowed to film or scream and yell?
You can't bring signs?
You can scream and yell, I think, but you can't film or video.
You can't video or take pictures.
That's verboten.
For some reason.
Oh, that way the judges can't be called out for picking the wrong people?
What kind of deal is that?
I don't know.
I'm very curious to see what this is all about.
Sounds like a corruption to me.
That Irish dance competition with young girls.
Corrupt, I tell you.
It's corrupt!
$200 from Anonymous in Chicago.
And Anonymous says, Hey fellas, I've noticed Adam mention a few times recently, he considers himself unaffiliated.
Understandable.
I'm curious as how do you both identify yourselves when meeting new people?
What are your base layer identifiers?
It gives me a giggle, imagining a stranger happening upon one of you two, having no idea the depth of your hum-awareness.
Just some karma-forget-more-nations XO.
Now, I sent a note back on this one, saying, what are you talking about?
What the hell?
What's a base layer identifier?
And he never really responded with some vagary that doesn't explain the concept.
I think this comes from our discussion about libertarians, which I did receive a number of emails of people unhappy with me saying that my impression in general, is generalizing, is that libertarians are often people who just don't want to be called Republicans.
Yeah, I backed you up on that.
Yeah, I got some nasty grams.
Yeah.
You said I never would, but I did.
Well, you got a couple.
You sent four of them to meet up a gloat.
Yes.
That's right.
During the show, we do the show.
Outside the show, I just try to gloat.
Yes.
Gloat.
Yes, exactly.
What a great word, gloat.
Gloat.
It's a good word.
Where does it come from?
It kind of describes just from the sound of the word gloat.
Oh, there he is, gloating.
Yeah, it does sound kind of like me.
Okay, sir, did I get his karma?
Uh, no.
I don't think so.
Let's make sure we do that.
We're almost there, people.
You've got karma.
In fact, last one, Sir Arthur Kuna.
In Fort Thomas, Kentucky, $200, watch the movie Mr. Jones concerning the famine in Ukraine in 1933-1934.
The M5M lied, especially the New York Times.
Now look at all the vaccine injuries and deaths.
M5M has no interest.
No agenda is a beacon of truth.
Keep it up!
Knight Kunath from Northern Kentucky.
Are you familiar with the movie Mr. Jones?
No.
Oh, maybe that's one for the Netflix for, uh, for tonight.
Oh, no.
No, my life is canceled for the next five nights because I have to be watching this, this idiocy at 8 p.m.
So you don't- What do you mean, the prime time purge?
Is it going to be on more than once?
Oh, they have five dates lined up.
What?
Yep.
Okay, you just assigned yourself, this is your job.
Oh yeah, no, I'm totally into it.
I can't wait, I'm so excited.
Tonight I'll watch everything and then I'll have to watch highlights.
Because it's, oh no, wait, you know what?
Tina's gone next week.
She's in Maine with her daughter.
So, I'll have plenty of time to do this.
This is very exciting.
Yeah, it's exciting.
Yeah, well this is, hey.
I'm almost 58.
I'm glad I have something to do.
And I'm glad it's this.
And I'm glad it's with you.
I'm taking up enamelling.
Thank you very much to our executive and associate executive producers for episode 1458.
We really appreciate this good showing.
Nice to see the rows of ducks and the instant nights.
And thank you very much.
You clearly value what we do and we value your value returned.
It's always a value for value fest.
And if you'd like to learn more about becoming an executive producer or associate executive producer.
Oh, actually I had a, where is it here?
Jordan Peterson to help us out.
Dvorak.
Dvorak.
D-V-O-R-A-K.
Dot org slash N-A.
Thank you for your time, talent, and treasure for producing episode 1458!
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Order!
Order!
Shut up, slaves!
Shut up, slaves!
Interesting how people pronounce it, Dvorak.
Is that the correct pronunciation?
Well, it turns out to be, uh, that's the Russian pronunciation, it turns out.
Hmm.
And it's the most common because the Antonin Dvorak, the composer, but just a couple little marks over the letters there that really have something to do with it.
Without those marks, you have to pronounce it differently.
Most people, the D-V-O-R-A-K, without those symbols is Dvorak.
Um, but you know, it's a bone of contention.
I remember when I was, I told the story before I was in college.
I was dating this girl.
Okay.
Talk about her.
What was her name?
I'm not going to say, but she was a great, and, uh, just the one whose dad was a spook.
Oh, she was great.
And so, uh, Because I'm at Cal Berkeley, uh, everyone's all, Dvorak, Dvorak, Dvorak, you can't eat Dvorak, bleh.
And so, um, I went, we went to a restaurant and it's one time, one time.
You gotta stop.
I misunderstood something.
Because you're at Berkeley, your name is Dvorak, everyone's going bleh.
What's wrong?
They're irked because I'm pronouncing it Dvorak because it's not intellectual.
They're not putting on, you know, any kind of... So I go to a restaurant and I say, hey, would you like a reservation for John Dvorak?
And she takes me, my girlfriend takes me aside and says, who the fuck are you kidding with that?
And so... And she broke up with you right on the spot!
No, she almost did, but she didn't.
But that was the end of it.
Oh, man.
Hey, I want to do a little segment here, which is partially based on a minor gaffe I made on the last episode, but some new stuff has bubbled back up, and I want to talk about predictive programming.
We even talked about it a little bit earlier, I think, in the show.
You mentioned it, yeah, but what gaff?
So, I thought that it was WKRP in Cincinnati that had this whole Trilateral Commission conspiracy theory, and this goes back to the 70s.
I think 70s or maybe very early 80s.
Although WKRP had some great moments to it, it was actually the Barney Miller show.
And it was Jeffrey Tambor who was in it.
Didn't we just talk about him?
Jeffrey Tambor was not in that show.
He was a guest on that episode.
Yes, he was.
Yes, he was.
I'd like to share that for you and then I have a few more things.
So, going back, predictive programming is a theory That the media... Hold on a second.
Jeffrey Tambor, who also played the great... Hey now, Hank Kingsley!
Hank Kingsley.
He did that transsexual show.
Yep.
And he was then metooed out of business and kicked out of town.
And then he died.
You think it all stems back from this one performance that they finally caught up to him?
Let's have a listen.
But they're the ones you should be arresting, not me!
Why didn't you say that before?
What do we got here?
Cam, this is William Klein.
He was wrecking an office.
I just wanted to meet them face-to-face.
I wanted them to admit what they were doing.
Who is they?
He was in the office of the Trilateral Commission.
Trilateral Commission?
Yeah, the Trilateral Commission.
All right, what is the Trilateral Commission?
It's an organization founded in 1973 by David Rockefeller to bring together business and political leaders from the United States, Europe, Japan, so they could work together for, uh...
Better economic and political cooperation between their nations.
That's what they'd like us to believe.
But you see, what they're really up to is a scheme to plant their own loyal members in positions of power in this country, to work to erase national boundaries, create an international community, and, in time, bring about a one-world government with David Rockefeller calling the shots!
I take it they're pressing charges?
Yeah, well, uh, he broke a globe and, uh, and some UNICEF artwork.
Well, they're in on it, too!
Okay, Mr. Kline, if you just... I'm telling you, our whole way of life as we know it is in jeopardy!
I appreciate that information.
But I have the documented evidence.
It's all in there.
Show him.
Well, he's got, uh...
Conspiracy Review?
Suppressed Truth Roundup?
Great blog name.
You're still not convinced?
Would you like to hear the names of just a few of the people who have been on the Trilateral Commission?
Not particularly.
James Earl Carter.
Heard of him?
Look, Mr. Kline.
Henry Kissinger.
You heard of him?
Walter Mondale.
Who?
Mr. Klein, this is John Anderson, George Bush.
Now, you remember at the convention, everybody thought it was going to be Ford for Veep.
You know what happened?
David Rockefeller just picked up a phone, put in a call, hey Ronnie, forget Jerry, it's George, bye.
No matter who won in November, they had their man in the White House.
See, I think your theory is decent, but I think it works differently when it comes to predictive programming.
Predictive programming, the concept is the mainstream media is in cahoots with the elites of the world.
You heard a few names there.
And they massage your mind into these, of course, crazy conspiracy theories while they're actually taking place and happening.
So you always believe those are crazy conspiracy theories.
And then when it turns out that this stuff is really true, then that's a conspiracy theory that's been going on forever.
I believe Jeffrey Tambor was rewarded royally for his participation in this predictive programming.
Look at his career.
His career was incredibly vast.
He had a lot of success.
And yes, and then he was probably thinking about, you know, I got to tell everybody about what I did.
And then they metooed him and he died.
And I think this theory holds... Did he die?
I don't know that he died.
Yeah, he died.
He died.
Yeah, yeah.
He passed away a few years ago.
He did?
Yes, after he got deplatformed.
Oh, yeah.
Gondola Goo.
But I think this theory holds true because Gillian Anderson, who was also involved in a recent predictive programming, 2016, she has gone on to great success.
I mean, she's even in severance right now on Apple Plus, and she's doing all kinds of great roles.
So she just has to keep her trap shut and she'll be okay.
So this all of a sudden popped up during the round.
Several people emailed it to me or pinged me about it.
This is the X-Files from 2016.
So I'm going to play this in reverse order because the kicker starts at the beginning.
But I wanted everyone to listen to in 2016 what was considered crazy nut job conspiracy stuff.
I.e.
every topic on the No Agenda Show.
The ultimate weapon.
The ability to depopulate the planet.
To kill everyone but the chosen.
By tampering with their DNA.
Through gene editing.
Why do such a thing and lie about it?
Our own government.
Your own government lies as a matter of course, as a matter of policy.
The Tuskegee experiments on black men in the 30s, Henrietta Lacks.
What are they trying to do?
That's the missing piece.
But it's not hard to imagine a government hiding, hoarding technology for 70 years at the expense of human life and the future of the planet.
Driven not only by corporate greed, but a darker objective.
The takeover of America.
And then the world itself, by any means necessary, however violent, or cruel, or efficient.
By severe drought, brought on by weather wars, conducted secretly using aerial contaminants and high-altitude electromagnetic waves, in a state of perpetual war.
To create problem-reaction-solution scenarios to distract, enrage, and enslave American citizens.
Okay, and it goes on with FEMA, Campton, the whole thing.
No, it's good.
I don't know who put this together, but it is quite good, and it's actually worth playing the whole thing, but it is a little long.
Because they really beat it up.
And they also have genetic vaccines.
This is my payoff.
That's why I said I'm playing the clips in reverse order.
Because what's impressive Is the detail of the mRNA vaccines, although I don't think it mentions mRNA, but the detail in 2016 of what came in 2020.
You say they're tampering with our DNA, that they're able to shut down our immune systems by the addition of something to our DNA.
Yes, but I don't know how exactly.
Or how it's being triggered.
I don't know that either.
Or why it's happening now.
You were right about that.
Well, I was wrong about the science.
I was wrong about what's causing it.
Dead wrong, in fact.
But it's clearly a widespread failure of our immune systems.
Through gene tampering.
A virus within a virus that was put there through the smallpox vaccine.
It's what these men are calling the Spartan virus.
We have to figure this out.
What's wrong with the science?
Okay.
The Spartan virus removes the adenosine deaminase gene from your DNA.
It removes the ADA gene, and your immune system will simply vanish.
Yeah, but I'm not getting sick.
It's only a matter of time.
Okay?
So how does it work?
How does the virus remove the ADA gene?
A process called CRISPR-Cas.
CRISPR-Cas9.
RNA and a protein cutting genes at exact locations.
Exactly.
But in this instance, used as a weapon.
And they got LiPo nanoparticles in there.
The whole thing was very impressive.
I mean, not that that technology was unknown in 2016, but to put it into, oh, we put it in a vaccine, everyone's immune system gets blown out just a matter of time before you die.
Wow.
Predictive.
Avengers 2018.
Titan was like most planets.
Too many mouths, not enough to go around.
And when we faced extinction, I offered a solution.
Genocide.
But random.
Random genocide!
We have one more bit.
These films are great.
This is all coming from Hollywood.
Spider-Man 2012.
Cross-species genetics is finally working.
I've used lizard DNA to help Freddy regrow that limb.
It's a miracle.
No, it's hard work and promise, and it's a step closer to the primate lab.
But he doesn't have time for every little step.
A little?
I just mean he can't wait.
Well, he'll have to.
Unless he wants to be a lab rat.
That's not what I'm saying.
So what are you saying?
You have to start human trials.
No, I don't.
And no, I won't.
Oh, then he's going to die.
People die.
Even Norman Osborn.
You're not finished.
Human trials.
Where on earth are you going to find the people to volunteer?
What?
As far as anyone's concerned, it's for a winter flu shot.
I might think the Veterans Hospital is a place to start.
You've got to be kidding me.
I don't think I am.
Just getting you ready for the inevitable, and the final one is from Season 3 of Stranger Things.
Some massive misinformation, but it puts it into your head.
Very popular show.
But this evil, it's like a virus.
Each time it returns, it comes back stronger, smarter, deadlier.
Just so you know, viruses always get stronger and deadlier as they mutate.
Not.
So, it's out there, you know.
There's a lot that gets into your brains.
Let's not even mention all the other movies.
Outbreak, all that stuff.
Oh, and there's plenty.
There's plenty.
It became a popular theme.
I think Outbreak was one of the early ones that really made it catch on.
If you go back to the black and white era, there's crazy stuff.
There's shots involved.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yay.
Yay, yay, yay, yay, yay.
Well, that was a good little presentation.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Back to current events.
Oh, oh, I just wanted to mention one thing I forgot.
I think we fell right into the trap.
Uh-oh.
Yeah.
That head of the pharma company and the 2,200 people with fake vaccine documents, which cropped up in Spain, Which has the Spanish outrage.
The news is... I mean, there's some Twitter juice on it, but I think we need something more like in the U.S.
or maybe the U.K.
The U.K.
kind of has the Boris thing.
You know, like he broke his own rules.
But I think that... I haven't really heard much more about it.
The idea might have been to kind of kickstart something.
Because they were buying fake vaccine, vaccination documents and passports.
I have a feeling that these types of things are being sent into the air to make us demand digital ID so there can be no cheating by elites.
You know what I mean?
That's how I would use that story.
Yeah, I think that's an interpretation.
If you take it to the paranoid limit, yeah, that would be it.
And as it turns out, and this is great, this is in the United Kingdom, we have a Member of Parliament, Desmond Swain, and he has a rather important question for the Health Secretary, David Javid.
To Desmond Swain.
Why is his departmental leadership advertising for a deputy director delivery for a Covid pass?
What's that about?
My honourable friend, in asking that question, I believe the reason that the department keeps that under review is that although the pass has stopped and there's absolutely no prospect, I can say, of ever it coming back into place, that it is right that when we wind this down and work on the digital resources, that all things are necessarily looked at appropriately.
Yeah, they were laughing themselves about that bullshit answer.
So, no, the past will never come back, but we're hiring a guy to, you know, help us make it never come back?
Yeah, makes no sense.
No, it makes a lot of sense if you literally said, for the digital part... Dan, I work on the digital resources.
The digital resources.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, it's coming.
And it'll fit nicely in your Apple wallet.
Right next to your Buy Now, Pay Later.
Do you see those guys?
I've always said Silicon Valley wants to be your bank.
Now Apple is actually doing it.
Yeah, no, just, yeah, no.
You know, you know.
You know, you know.
So, uh, I got a little news deconstruction here.
Okay.
Is this something you like?
This is about crypto.
What is crypto?
Crypto, you know, crypto.
It's crypto.
Shitcoin.
Okay, crypto.
Yes.
So here we have, we're going to have an expert reporter, because we're on NPR, so we only have the best of the best.
We have the national treasure.
I want you to catch the little, there's the NPR and crypto and blockchain, ha, and I want you to catch, I want you to catch the little, maybe an error in understanding.
I also want to talk about the environmental cost to this industry because blockchain technologies that crypto runs on, I mean, it requires massive amounts of energy to power the computers that make it possible.
There's not a little thing.
There's only one really that requires massive amounts of energy, not all crypto.
Blockchain.
Blockchain.
So much energy for blockchain.
She has no idea what she's talking about.
Is this a tech reporter?
No, it's the mining.
It's the mining that chews up energy.
Yeah.
The blockchain does not.
Correct.
She specifically said blockchain chews up massive amounts of energy.
Yes.
One bitcoin is nine families for a thousand years to heat their home.
No, we're not talking about Bitcoin.
We're talking about crypto.
Blockchain.
Blockchain.
Do you have more blockchain for us?
No, this is different.
This is another little variation on crypto as they're talking, you know, through their hats.
But let's listen to this part two, which is NPR and crypto and well, I don't know what it says there.
And coming from my state of Wyoming, which is an oil and gas producing state, we have Bitcoin mining equipment being moved right next to flared gas, wasted gas that is being flared into the atmosphere.
They can hook right up to it and mine Bitcoin from an asset that's being wasted and turn it into a useful product.
So there are advantages Really?
Really?
In Texas they're hooking the flares?
a fossil fuel dominant system.
Correct.
This is happening everywhere.
Really?
Particularly, yes, particularly in Texas.
In Texas, they're hooking the flares?
No, not the flares.
That's what she said.
We're deconstructing here.
What did she say?
She said you hook it up to a flare and coming from my state of Wyoming, which is an oil and gas producing state, we have Bitcoin mining equipment being moved right next to Flared gas, wasted gas that is being flared into the atmosphere.
They can hook right up to it and mine Bitcoin from an asset that's being wasted.
Yeah, okay.
Obviously, there's a step in between where you take the flared gas and turn it into electricity on site.
Really?
Who's doing that?
Oh, there's several.
The Great American Mining Company.
I want some evidence of this.
Flared gas.
First of all, flared gas.
They're not flaring it.
They're burning it in an electric generating system on site.
I'm going to try to continue the sentence.
The stuff that gets sent to the flare in an oil refinery is God knows what.
It could be this, it could be that, it could be propane, it could be heavy fuel, which is the stuff that's mostly... There is no way you can send this miscellaneous crap, which is what it is, into a random generator and not have to do millions of adjustments.
You can't just run an engine on any old fuel.
It has to be specific for that generator.
It can't be propane one minute and then heavy oil the next and God knows what the next.
That's bullshit.
And the fact that they – I don't know where this comes from.
Because it's – The reason for a flare, believe me, if an oil refinery could recycle flare, flared gas, which is just burned off into the atmosphere and makes a mess sometimes.
Sometimes it burns pretty nicely.
They would be doing it.
They've been doing it for years for some reason or other.
They haven't been doing it because it's not possible.
No.
Here's how I understand it, and I encourage you to do a little more than just yell at NPR, because you're going to get a lot of email about this.
The problem with the gas that they flare off, as I understand it, I'm no expert.
You're certainly much more expert than I am.
The problem is it does not transfer well.
Over distance, there's too much loss.
This is what I understand.
There's too much loss of pushing that whatever methane, whatever comes out, whatever they typically flare off.
So there are several companies who are doing this today.
I don't know what generator they're using, how they're capturing the flare.
I don't know any of that.
But that is happening, and it's a big business.
Like, hundreds of millions of dollars is being spent and made in this very specific business.
GMA.AI is the Great American Mining Company.
And you're going to get a lot of people who will tell you exactly how it works.
I'm not the guy.
I just want one.
Okay.
Marty Bent calling Marty Bent.
The second part ...is because of the wind power we have in Texas.
A lot of containers with mining machines are being plopped right down in the wind farms.
When these damn windmills are blown, you know, when there's a lot of wind and it's at the wrong time of day and there's overcapacity, instead of shutting down the windmills, they flip on the Bitcoin miners and take the energy right there.
They actually stabilize the grid.
Well, that's got nothing to do with these clips.
No, I know, but I'm just saying that this is what's happening in Texas.
You're wrong about the methane gas.
That is happening.
It's been happening for quite a while now.
And what goes through a flare is not necessarily methane gas.
Again, I'm not the guy, but I will make sure people contact you.
They might be throwing rocks at you on the street now.
I doubt it.
It's just another NPR report like the one that says that blockchain chews up great amounts of resources.
Well, this was, I believe, a House of Representatives Uh, from Wyoming?
What's her name?
Or a senator?
I don't know.
Yeah, that wasn't just an NPR reporter, that was someone who's... Not the block, the blockchain one was the NPR reporter.
The blockchain one was the NPR reporter.
Yes.
Let me see, what do I have here?
Um... And let's talk, wait, she's talking about renewables?
This is an interesting little report on renewable is a jip.
Renewable is a... well...
As the Biden administration pushes for a drastic energy transition, proponents argue renewable energies like wind and solar are cheaper.
But is that true?
A recent study found if you look at all the cost factors, wind and solar are actually more expensive than conventional fuels.
NTD's Jessica Beatty explains.
As the world rushes to drop fossil fuels and transition to renewable energy like wind and solar, three researchers say, not so fast.
They say you can't just look at emissions, you have to look at the entire value chain.
Their recent study found that it's actually more expensive to produce energy with wind and solar than with conventional fuels.
The authors looked at several cost factors including the cost of building, fuel, operating, transportation, storage, backup, emissions, recycling, space, equipment lifetime, and how many materials go into each system.
They found that way more materials are needed for solar, hydropower, and wind compared to coal, natural gas, and nuclear.
They also looked at another important concept, energy return on investment.
The EROI ratio measures energy inputs compared to energy outputs.
The authors, citing Ewan Mearns' work, said modern life requires a minimum EROI ratio of 5 to 7.
But they pointed out that most solar and many wind installations are lower than that and are not efficient enough to support society.
Co-author Lar Shernakow is an energy economist and commodity trader.
At a SAGE talk last month, he said, quote, If the world were today to go 100% wind, solar and biomass, we would not be sitting here.
There would not be enough energy.
We'd go into energy starvation.
And that's what you start to see now in the market.
He doubted the current pathway to more wind and solar electricity is environmentally viable, calling them, quote, the least energy efficient.
He reached out to the Energy Department for comment, but didn't immediately hear back.
Yeah, I wonder why.
Well, you did a whole show on this once.
Mm-hmm.
I did.
About the rip-off.
In fact, they were just playing three-card Monty with all these wind generators.
Renewables Egypt part 2.
The study concluded with suggestions for a revised energy policy.
Seen energy policy should not favor any of the energy sources, but should support all energy systems to avoid energy shortage or energy poverty.
What's interesting is President Biden just invoked the Defense Production Act for solar panels in the United States.
The Defense Production Act for solar panels.
Like, is there a threat that we won't have enough solar panels?
Who's going to make these solar panels?
Most of them are made in China nowadays.
Ah, let us listen to Karine Abdul-Jean-Pierre as she has queried about the Defense Production Act.
Why is this so important?
On the Defense Production Act that was announced today, the president, taking a step back from that, what emergency is the president using to invoke the Defense Production Act?
Because historically it's been in the 1950s for the Korean War and during COVID it was enacted.
What emergency is it, or what's the real emergency in the solar industry for the Defense Production Act?
So let me, I was going to say first, the president, you know, when he takes the Defense Production Act, it's to make sure that he's delivering for the American people.
It is an important tool that he has used a couple of times and has been incredibly effective.
perspective.
So, for this particular Clean Energy Defense Production Act, he is invoking the Defense Production Act to rapidly expand domestic production of solar panel parts, building insulation, heat pumps, and more.
He is putting the full force of the federal government's purchasing power behind supporting American clean energy manufacturers.
And he is providing U.S. solar deployers the short-term stability they need to build clean energy projects and deliver more affordability energy to American families and business.
Altogether, these historic actions will cut costs for American families, strengthen our power grid, and tackle the climate crisis.
And with a stronger clean energy arsenal, the United States can be an even stronger partner to our allies, especially in the face of Putin's war in Ukraine.
Well, this is just a step to get to a place where we do have a clean energy arsenal.
And so this is a very important part of the President's agenda in getting to that clean energy system that he's been talking about since he walked into the administration.
So this is that, and this is a way that we felt that we can act to get moving in that way.
Now, what this sounds like to me, because invoking the Defense Production Act, you're forcing companies to stop production of what they might be making, even though it might be related.
That's how we saw Trump got Ford Motor Company to make ventilators when that scam popped up.
It's a great example, actually.
Someone made out like a bandit on that.
Do you remember President Obama in 2015 with Solana?
Remember that two billion dollars we put into some energy, some solar company that went bankrupt?
Yeah, it was, uh... Piece of crap.
It was a Solara... Solana, Solana.
No, it wasn't Solana.
I'm looking at it right now, Solana.
Solana?
Yes, it's called Solana.
It's got an R or an I in there somewhere.
Oh, Solyndra.
Solyndra, that's it.
That's it, Solyndra.
Where are you seeing Solyndra?
Right above it.
On the search page.
Solyndra.
But these are scams, because you're signaling to the market money incoming.
It was, and somebody made out on that.
Solyndra though, I always admired the idea, but it was even The idea be... You know what the idea was behind Cylindra?
No, I don't remember.
Well, Cylindra... The word refers back to cylinder.
Yes.
So the thing would be kind of a cylinder, so wherever the sun was coming from, it would hit some part of it.
It was a clever but stupid idea because it was only taking advantage of a certain number of the sensors.
It was crazy.
It was like a round panel.
But it was a government money grab.
Yeah, and Obama was all in on it.
Oh yeah, it was like... This is like my eight tests in my... I got eight COVID tests.
This is a waste of the government money.
Exactly.
Real waste.
They're breaking this country, these guys.
Let's spend more on that.
Amen on that.
Amen.
Breaking the dollar, that's for sure.
The devil is stronger than ever.
What do you mean?
Oh, no, they're going to.
What I mean is that they're going to create this money.
So, yeah.
Stronger than ever.
I know your stance.
It's great for imports.
Sure.
Fantastic.
I think we're debasing the dollar.
What else do we do?
I think we're debasing the dollar.
It's obvious.
All this money creation cannot be good long term.
You can't argue it's good long term.
Well, it's good if you want a lot of inflation so you can pay your debts in cheap dollars.
Yeah, but that always goes at the expense of people who can no longer afford food.
Yeah, the people who can't afford to buy eight tests and they give them away for free.
This whole thing is a scam.
And there you have it.
Scamocracy.
This is the plan.
This is the plan.
Make inflation go so bad that we're going to have to start stimmy checks.
It'll be fuel supplement payments in Ireland.
Uncovered.
There is a plan to save fuel in the event of a crisis caused by the Ukraine war.
Work from home.
There it is.
You will be forced to work from home.
There will be no driving.
Let's see.
The Irish independent can reveal, in the event of a national fuel crisis, which I argue many countries are in as we speak,
Emergency contingency measures discussed at the high-level meeting include all non-essential workers will be ordered to work from home, a limit will be placed on all non-essential car travel, a strict limit on the amount of fuel motorists can buy at any one time, and the implementation of an immediate and strict reduction in the speed limit on motorways.
The plan also includes the introduction of an emergency scheme whereby motorists with an odd number at the end of their car registration will only be allowed to drive or refuel on alternate days.
It's perfect.
We already know what it is to stay home.
We've got the infrastructure.
We know how to track everybody.
That's all 70s stuff that should be pointed out.
So is solar panels.
Remember Jimmy Carter?
Jimmy Carter made a huge solar push in the 70s.
Yeah, the solar panels are totally 70s.
Yeah.
And now I... where did I read this?
I think I had that somewhere.
Somewhere I had it.
Oh, here it is.
Who wrote this?
New Yorker.
Joe Biden's solar plan and the prescience of Jimmy Carter.
The best time to plant a solar panel was 40 years ago.
But Biden's trying hard to make up for lost time.
These people are delusional.
I mean, I'd rather have your phony baloney wind than solar.
My goodness.
The former New York banker at one point had the largest private solar array on his home.
That he built in Austin.
That's his home!
It's a big home.
That he built in Austin.
And now he hates it because they no longer take his energy.
The grid won't take it anymore.
Big promise.
Oh, you know, don't worry.
Just plug yourself right in and you'll be making money.
Yes.
Your gas bill will be minus $100.
You'll be receiving checks.
It's just like that newspaper.
And all of a sudden they said, you know, hook it up to your ass.
We don't care.
Here's another conspiracy theory.
Um, the introduction of smart meters.
Well, Austin is perfect for this.
Austin Water plans to replace... Although, sorry, it's not the electricity yet, it's for water.
Austin Water plans to replace 250,000 old school water meters like this one with these smart meters.
Water officials say this will modernize the system, allowing customers to control and monitor their usage online.
They say when it comes to fears of potential hacking or service interruption, customers shouldn't worry.
The data transmission system is encrypted and anonymous.
It's secure from hacking.
Water service can only be turned off manually, so there's no risk of service interruption from this system.
Those who want to keep their analog water meters will have to pay a one-time fee of $75 and then $10 each month.
Austin Water says money will go to ensuring a technician can continue to read the meter.
That's because the water utility company plans to eventually end its contract with the current utility meter reading company they rely on, as once the smart meters are installed, they won't be needed.
I love this.
I love seeing this unfold.
It's not gonna happen.
I have a question about this story.
What is the importance of encrypting the data so nobody else can know what your meter says, when right now you can go outside your house, open the thing up and check it out yourself?
Well, this is just because people are afraid of their meters being hacked.
That was a typical bullshit response from the Water Authority.
Uh, no, the issue with this is that the authorities can now track your usage over time instead of, you know, coming once every six weeks or two months and looking at the meter.
Okay.
Use this much.
No, we'll know exactly how much you use when you use it.
Um, Hey, you know what?
It's a smart meter.
Why don't we upgrade it?
So it can test for COVID.
Make sure there's no COVID going in your water.
I mean, there's all this is, and it can't, your water can't be shut off.
I don't know, that thing sits right in line.
It sits right in line as far as I know.
But he said they had to shut it off manually anyway.
Well, maybe.
But we're going into dystopia.
Inflation clip, let's start with listening to a little inflation.
I gave a false start here for a reason.
This inflation clip, false start.
Europeans are enduring record high inflation and it's forcing some authorities to take action.
They're enjoying?
They're enjoying record high inflation?
Yeah, that's the same thing I just said to myself.
What?
Let me hear that again.
Europeans are enduring record high inflation and it's forcing some authorities to take action.
How can anyone be enjoying record high inflation?
That is a, that is a, somebody who's not a native speaker.
Double speak, man.
Let's double speak.
The word enjoying actually does apply.
For a Brit, they could say that, yeah.
Because if you look at the definition, it means, you know, experiencing, it has a lot of variations to the word, to the point where you could say, yeah, he's enjoying his amputation.
It's not, you know, in fact, it's not the way the word is used, if you're going to use it properly, but okay.
Anyway, so I had to stop the clip right there.
For me, that was weird.
I would never approve that script.
I wouldn't either.
Let's go to the whole clip.
Europeans are enduring record high inflation and it's forcing some authorities to take action.
On Wednesday, Germany introduced a new measure to help consumers get by.
Locals can now buy public transport tickets that cover travel across Germany for just nine euros or a little under ten dollars a month.
I think it's good because I'm telling myself now every week I'll travel somewhere and look at whatever things I want to.
Now so many people are taking the train, and that's why I think that soon there'll be issues with overcrowded trains.
The German railway has said they can arrange for more trains to run, at least not as many as might be needed.
Therefore, I'm a bit afraid that in summer you may want to travel somewhere, but you can't because the trains are too overcrowded.
Germany's government has also lowered taxes on fuel to fight high prices.
Some petrol stations in Germany have already lowered their prices to the delight of many customers.
But others were more sceptical about the tax relief actually reaching them.
I haven't noticed anything until now.
I filled my car last week with diesel for €1.92 and today the diesel costs €1.97, so it's not really noticeable.
The measures are due to run for three months until the end of August.
Inflation in Germany rose to 7.9% in May, largely due to supply chain issues caused by the health crisis and the war in Ukraine.
Yeah, there you go.
War is so good for covering up inflation.
In fact, I think it's used every time, isn't it?
Inflation and war kind of go together.
It's a good way to go.
I mean, sometimes you get war because of inflation, sometimes you get inflation because of war.
Whatever it is, it's always good.
It's like the weather thing, and Horowitz and I talk about it all the time, the first quarter results.
Oh, yeah.
We had weather issues.
Oh, it rained.
Oh, our numbers are down.
Yeah.
Yeah, this is introducing these phony deflationary measures like the $9 ticket, which sounds like a great fun time if you're going to go to Germany.
$9 to get on all the trains?
That's better than a Eurorail thing, that's for sure.
Oh yeah, that's expensive, several hundred.
I thought that these capitalistic systems were not supposed to be centrally controlled like a communist, socialist system.
Socialist systems, they always bitch about it.
Oh, central control never works.
You don't know what's going to happen in the market and you can't predict it.
But here they are doing it.
This happened during the 70s when the price control things came into play, which is another old idea.
Well, they're doing this.
No, not to work.
They're setting up the price controls.
We talked about that.
They're going to do it.
Of course they are, and it always fails.
But it doesn't matter.
This is destructive, and I think it's on purpose.
There's something that folds into this from China.
We had the...
What was the lying flat trend?
Where Chinese kids just like, nah, screw it.
I'm laying flat.
I'm not doing anything.
Remember that?
No.
No, I vaguely do.
Yeah, the kids were on kind of on strike.
Yeah, so now they're ramping it up to something new.
And I can understand why this, you know, by the way, Shanghai, what is your impression of Shanghai?
My impression of the news about Shanghai or my impression of actually being in Shanghai?
No, the news of Shanghai.
Everybody's out of control.
Lockdown's over, but I don't know.
I don't have a real accurate view of things.
I know that there were some great videos of people yelling out in the street, kill me.
No, you already got the most important one.
The lockdown is over, right?
You just said that.
The lockdown is over.
That's my understanding.
That was my understanding as well.
Aren't we lucky that we have boots on the ground?
Professor JJ in Shanghai has been reporting on it for the past two months, and I'd like to give you his quick rundown, the latest from Shanghai.
Starting on June 1st, 2022, Shanghai set up a mandatory get-tested-every-72-hour rule.
The results were predictable.
Some people tested positive, their phone QR turned red, hence they could not enter any public establishments, malls, stores, etc.
We have friends and know families of my daughter's classmates who have been re-locked down inside their buildings or apartments in condo complex communities due to their proximity to someone else who tested positive.
For the first two days of the openness, the testing stations were overwhelmed with high demand and long lines up to an hour.
However, at present, because people fear there's always a risk of COVID contact while standing in line, that's one of your pet peeves, making your future a red QR, fewer people are going to the testing stations.
Now there's a two-tiered testing system.
People with money go to private hospitals, paid about 25 bucks for a test that's good for 72 hours.
And of course, the theory is that the good people always test negative, i.e.
lower risk of cavorting with the wrong kind of people, and in wealthier complexes.
Like mine, he says, the Housing Association has contracted with the city to get a testing center inside our gates, which is now limited to our residents.
So you see the two-tiered society.
Starting on Saturday, June 11th, the city is starting a rolling lockdown.
Where's the M5M on that?
Various districts within the city will be shut.
No one in or out.
Everyone will be sampled for three to five days.
This is the zero COVID policy brought down to the sub-district level.
No one from Shanghai is allowed to travel into the neighboring provinces, and if allowed to get off a train, they would need to submit to a two-week quarantine at the local COVID hotel.
And remember, Shanghai has a 90% vaccination rate, two shots, and about 67% took three.
So this is not over.
Why are we hearing this on a podcast?
I'm gonna show my school by donating to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on your agenda in the morning.
And not one to miss a cue.
We start off with, uh, I get my spreadsheet up here and we have at the top of the list, $100 from Kevin Fagerberg in Lincoln, Nebraska.

8008.
So they donated together, but yet individually.
Yeah.
No, it's cute.
It's cute.
That's very cute.
I don't know, you have to wonder if they both knew.
I just like that she did a boob donation for him and he did one for himself.
Yeah, well this guy's loaded.
Double up.
Maxwell Reeves in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, 8008.
That's a good little run.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven boobs.
Times two.

It's his birthday.
Colleen Garrett in Cary, North Carolina.
It's anywhere near Locust.
I'm surprised Colleen donated 69.
Today is 6-9.
I had expected more 69s.
Oh, you know, maybe if we suggested it on last show or during the newsletter, maybe.
I was too busy studying flare gas and mining.
Colleen Garrett in Cary 69.

I was about to say, well, you remember that well.
Yeah, Jason's been around for a long time.
I want to thank him.
William Dollier in Bristolville, Ohio.
$50.
That's all our producers and helpers and supporters for show.
1-4-5-8.
Yes.
Um, I was going to say something.
Now I can't remember what that was.
We, uh, we, there it is.
We appreciate the, uh, the support from all of our producers.
Also those who come in under $50.
Now many people want to be completely anonymous, have no risk of us slipping anything out or in for that matter.
So we got some $49.99.
We hear you.
We appreciate you.
A lot of people are on our multiple sustaining donation programs, which are subscriptions.
You can go to, I mean, what do we have on the spreadsheet here?
I mean, we have still people doing $3.33 and $4 and some of them do it per show.
Some of them do it per week, some per month.
It doesn't matter.
The value for value concept is you got value out of the show.
If you're listening right now, you listened for quite a long time.
You must've gotten some value.
Just turn that into a number and send it to us.
And whatever it is, as long as it's valuable to you.
That's the modern way of consuming media.

For you, we've got Hookers and Blow, Rent Boys, and Chardonnay.
We've got something special, Cellar Maker Brewing, Dank Williams, DIPA, and a bottle of Jefferson's Ocean Voyage 20 bourbon.

Maybe some sparkling cider on escort, some ginger ale and gerbils.
Or, as everybody likes to try out here, the mutton and mead.
It's ready for you.
The mutton is warm, the mead is wet.
Go ahead and write this down.
NoahGeneration.com slash rings.
That's where you go afterwards to claim your well-deserved night ring.
It's a signet ring so you can seal your important correspondence with the accompanying wax and of course the certificate of authenticity.
It looks nice framed on your wall.
I saw one just the other day.
I was on a Zoom call.
I said, what's that on your wall?
Oh, that's my knight certificate.
I didn't know that.
Right next to the stars and stripes.
It was beautiful.

Once you do one, you can't stop.
noagendameetups.com.
If you can't find one, start one yourself.
Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
You want to be where you want me.
Drink it all, hell, flame.

It's like a party.
With that $9 all-German pass to all the trains, everyone should be able to go to that meetup.
Yeah!
It'll be dynamite.
Let's see, I have two isos.
I do have something I want to play before the end of the show.
Here's my isos.
Possible end of show iso.
The boner.
Okay, I had to do that one, of course.
Of course.
This one may be better.
Hashtag no agenda.
It's right out of a movie.
Right out of a movie.
Hashtag no agenda.
It's muffled.
Muffled.
It's not great.
Well, I have one that's not muffled.
Okay.
It's just a simple ending to the show.
Thanks.
Thank you so much for listening.
Perfect.
Love that.
Is she from NPR?
Yeah, no.
Oh, too bad.
That's Sophia.
Oh, really?
I have a NPR thing for the end here that I wanted to share with you.
It's actually from WGBH, which is a station I like because Tony Khan, he is the guy in the early days of podcasting 1.0, brought NPR screaming and kicking into podcasting.
So he is an unsung hero of podcasting, and this was the conversation.
We also pretend that men don't want women to have abortions, that men don't, you know, provide the revenue for women to have the abortions.
They're the main pushers of the abortion.
I mean, I think that that's a part of it, too, is sort of people who are involved in this decision making, you know, should be able to talk about that openly, whether they're male or female, perhaps primarily female, because that's whose life is most impacted.
But we almost never hear from men who say, no, that was the good decision at that time, because I wasn't ready to be a father.
We don't have that conversation either.
So interesting, because I think lots of men would have something to say about that, and would say, you know, that I was happy that that was an option at the time.
I think men are not, A, not asked, and B, who would, in their right mind, would even speak about this with a penis?
You would be excoriated if you said, hey, you know, I think men have a say in this.
Can you imagine?
That woman sounded like Rosie O'Donnell.
Here's part two.
You know, it is interesting that there's no legislation pending to force men more regularly and efficiently to pay for the babies they bring into the world.
As you know, as a former DA in Suffolk County... What?
How many deadbeat dads are there?
Millions?
Millions?
Well, I don't... I mean, I think... They are forced.
This is a lie!
Let's finish the clip.
As you know, as a former DA in Suffolk County, how many deadbeat dads are there?
Millions?
I mean, I think this has been talked about.
Massachusetts is better than most.
Oh yeah.
No, it gets worse.
Hey, well how many deadbeat dads are there?
Tell me.
Millions, millions, millions, she said.
If you're doing a report on this, you should do a little research before you start yakking about it.
You don't know.
They don't know.
They didn't say.
The reason why is because all the research went into the third clip, which is the obvious solution to this entire problem.
Roe v. Wade is not going to be an issue in two years from now.
This will be the law.
This is where Margaret Atwood gets her props.
She called it.
She wrote the book, the TV series.
Here it comes.
There should be a bill that, you know, since vasectomies are reversible, if you're really worried about abortion, vasectomies are reversible.
You can simply have every man mandated to have a vasectomy within a certain age range.
psychologically and economically ready to bring children into the world and they can reverse that procedure.
I'm ready to sign up for that one.
I think that would be good too.
Let's get a bill going.
What a great idea.
Let's get rid of circumcision.
Let's just vasectomize.
Right from the get-go.
It's reversible.
It's reversible.
It's easy.
It doesn't hurt.
No pain.
It's reversible.
Deball the men.
Deball the men is NPR's solution.
If you haven't noticed, all the NPR clips I've been playing, and you just played a few, it's always women.
There's like two announcers that are Jack Spear and one other guy, and it's all women.
Yack, yack, yack.
It's all women on NPR.
Did you notice this?
Yeah.
I always presume that you just Want those clips because the women sound wacky?
There's nothing else to find?
That's just it, huh?
Now there is sometimes as a guy shows up, and I'm going to play this because it's the last clip.
This is my, because it's one of the what's wrong with podcasting clips.
Oh yes, my favorite segment.
And it's a clip about an upcoming future or some sort of podcast from NPR, which by the way, I blame you for after you just mentioned the fact that you're the one that got NPR to do it.
Yes, it's my fault.
Okay.
It is.
Yes, I'm with you.
Here we go.
Why is it not playing?
This is your clip, right?
Oh, what happened?
That was a great setup.
I'm sorry I blew it.
We'll try again.
I'm Gregory Warner, host of the podcast Rough Translation.
On our new season, we're telling stories about the cultures of work and rest around the world.
I came into this totally prepared to defend my American productivity.
At work, the new season of the NPR podcast Rough Translation.
Okay, what's my complaint about this?
What's wrong with podcasting?
What is the deal with seasons?
That's not broadcast TV where you gotta do the, you know, have meetings in New York and talk to the advertisers.
What is the point of a season?
I have some inside information on that for you, by coincidence.
New information has come to light.
Yes.
One of the main things, when we started podcasting 2.0, the woman who was in charge, a woman, nice by the way, super, super engaged in the 2.0 process, She was trying to get seasons as a way to categorize podcast episodes in Podcasting 2.0.
She was trying to get seasons as a way to categorize podcast episodes in Podcasting 2.0.
We actually created the seasons for NPR who have yet to use it, but at least we did it.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Because they think in seasons.
They don't think in podcasts.
They take off.
You know, it's like summer.
It's like that's when their season ends.
That's when our work continues.
Academic structure in the brain.
You go, you know, you teach for, you know, three quarters, you take a quarter off or two semesters and then a whole summer off.
It all really relates back to school.
This is the whole season notion.
In fact, the school thing has set it up for the networks to have to do it.
They don't have to do it, but this idea of doing it with a podcast is just idiotic.
And you can set it up on Podcasting 2.0 if you too want to be just like NPR.
Not everything takes off.
So you have choices.
You can watch reruns of everything.
You can try and stomach what's coming as the Purge live show goes live, or you just come back on Sunday and we will gladly give you as much as we can of the deconstruction of your world.
Not just America, all over the place.
You could save your life one day, you know?
Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No.
6 in the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I remain, I'm John C. Dvorak.
Coming up next on No Agenda Stream, we have That Larry Show, and end of show mixes, some good ones.
We've got GWFF, that's Grant Forsyth.
We've got Tom Starkweather, with another beautiful cataloging of the world.
Sir Michael Anthony, and Neil Jones, the Clip Custodian, with an end of show mix.
Remember us at dvorak.org slash NA.
Until, uh, do I say until next time?
Yes, until Sunday.
Adios, mofos!
and such.
All around me are dead-eyed faces.
Worn-out places.
Mad-slimmed faces.
A civil war between the many races.
Getting violent.
Getting nowhere at all.
Commies screeching about the underclasses.
Bandana face masks.
Hooded jackets.
Hide my face so I can punch a Nazi.
Not ironic, not ironic at all.
And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad that the memories of the 90s are the best I ever had.
It's too absurd to follow, so I cannot contemplate when people think in circles it's a total fucking clown world.
Clown world.
Children growing up not knowing normal.
Talking track kids.
Happy Pride Day!
And I feel the way that every child should.
What to believe in?
Run for cover!
Went to school and I was very nervous.
Racial privilege, alt-right Nazis are here.
Hello, teacher, tell me what's my lesson.
Unicorns and evil white men to hate.
Hey!
And I find it kind of funny.
I find it kind of sad.
That the memories of the 90s are the best I ever had.
It's too absurd to follow, so I cannot contemplate.
When people think in circles, it's a total fucking... Clown world.
Clown world.
I believe it's transitory, but I don't mean to suggest that these pressures will disappear.
Inflation.
We come.
We currently face macroeconomic challenges, including unacceptable levels of inflation.
And those rising gas prices, along with inflation, are making it harder for families to make ends meet.
Since August of last year, we've raised our prices 35%.
And that is inflation.
Us making about the same amount of profit as we were a year and a half ago.
Yes, inflation's a problem.
In no way do I want to minimize that.
It's already bad.
It could get worse.
And it's definitely not going to get much better.
Well, you know, honestly, what everybody wants consumers to do is slow their roll a little bit on spending.
We look at today in a much stronger economic situation where we can actually deal with inflation head on.
Fundamentally, what we have here is a robust economic recovery.
And I think that's in large part due to the president's leadership.
Inflation.
I think the market's looking at interest rates and potentially more inflation.
The economy is in a better place than it has been historically.
And so we feel here at this administration, and other experts as well, is that we feel that we are in a good position to take on inflation.
In the new world order, we control the society with the Metaverse, cheese editing, and ESG.
Confusion expires.
The government access.
No one is obsessed.
You will need more times.
Upwards, that's why distribution.
There's nothing to discuss.
The future is not just happening.
We are acting evolution.
The whole world is transitioning.
There's nothing to discuss.
The future is not just happening.
The future is built by us.
Try to become the next one.
Try to become the next one.
Some breaking health news is our scientists believe they have cured a woman of HIV.
It is a dangerous treatment.
Moderna has just begun a clinical trial for its experimental HIV vaccine.
They have to essentially kill their immune system.
It uses the same mRNA technology found in COVID vaccines.
And then give them a new immune system.
Meanwhile, Pfizer is now testing a pill to treat COVID.
It uses the same antiviral process as HIV treatments.
It is a dangerous treatment.
They have to kill their immune system.
And then give them a new immune system.
