	We got the dead body right here.
	Adam Curry.
	John C. Dvorak.
	It's Sunday, July 2nd, 2022.
	This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1465.
	This is no agenda.
	Preparing for bug protein 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 it fogged in three days earlier than usual.
	Global Warming, I'm John C. DuBois.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill!
	In the morning!
	Yeah, man, the global warming is going crazy!
	Normally it fogs in on July the 4th.
	Oh, there it is.
	Fireworks.
	Are you pissed off again about the fireworks situation?
	But now it's fogged in early.
	It's already fogged.
	Any of the fireworks, you know?
	Yeah, but every single year is the same in San Francisco.
	Every year.
	And you complain every single year and nothing ever changes.
	So is there climate change or not?
	Yeah.
	Well, looking at the mudflats, I'd say no.
	You have not looked at the mudflats in quite a while.
	Do we even have the jingle?
	I look at them every day, but I don't produce a segment.
	What was that?
	What was that jingle we had?
	You've been apparently very busy.
	Oh, here it is.
	Here it is.
	Because of what's happening in Greenland right now, the maps of the world will have to be redrawn.
	This is what would happen to San Francisco Bay.
	Look out!
	There you go.
	He's looking out the window.
	He's looking at the mudflats.
	What do you see?
	Uh, mud.
	No change since 1870.
	No change.
	Well, climate change related, okay.
	Last night, one of our team... Wait, wait.
	You were going to tell me what was going on that kept you so busy this morning.
	That's what I'm saying.
	Climate change related.
	Oh, it has to do with climate change?
	Yes, of course it has to do with climate change.
	We're having exceptionally warm weather here in the Hill Country.
	We did not get a lot of the rain that the rain sticks produce, which is unfortunate, but that's kind of how Fredericksburg was chosen by the American Indians and the Germans.
	Uh, and our air conditioner went out.
	One of our two compressors went out last night.
	This, this was interesting.
	Because the studio is, it really only has one wall that connects to the house, and so it's its own little hotbox.
	Oh man, I was tripping out this morning, sweating.
	But here in Hill Country, you can call, and someone comes out within an hour.
	They came out with a what?
	They came out.
	They came out and fixed it within an hour.
	No.
	Yes.
	In this day and age?
	And I said, I said, oh, oh my goodness.
	I said, you're here already?
	I said, I figured, you know, I think Tina even left a voicemail.
	Hey, can we just get on your list?
	Cause I know a lot of air conditioners are breaking down.
	The guy says, no, I was just waiting for your call.
	It was beautiful.
	That's that German background in that area.
	Yeah, maybe it is.
	Efficiency.
	Yeah.
	Efficiency.
	Efficiency.
	We are very efficient.
	We make everything work.
	You tried doing that up in Port Angeles, Washington, months go by.
	I know.
	That's why I was so happy and totally surprised.
	Like, oh, well, this is nice.
	Yeah.
	So that kept us kind of busy.
	And all it was, was the capacitor, which shouldn't have blown.
	A cap busted.
	Yeah.
	It didn't blow, unfortunately.
	If it blew, you would have hurt it.
	And now, of course, I had a cat blow once in his computer.
	Oh, that can be in a computer.
	That can be a good one.
	Oh, well, if it's in the room, it has the exact same, I'd say, decibel rating as a cherry bomb.
	That's how loud it is.
	Do the kids even know what cherry bombs are anymore?
	I think they still sell them.
	I think they call them, don't they just call them M80s these days?
	They don't call them Cherry Bombs anymore.
	Although a Cherry Bomb is technically not an M80.
	Well a Cherry Bomb is round and red.
	Yeah, right.
	It looks like a cherry.
	Right, I don't think they sell those anymore.
	No, the M80s, well it sounds like...
	Almost an M-80 going off in the house.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Very, very loud.
	My dad would tell me that back when he was in high school, they would flush cherry bombs down the toilet.
	Oh, yeah.
	Kids always talk about that, but I've never, I don't think they actually do it.
	I think he got expelled for it.
	It sounds like something he would have done.
	Well, if you do and get expelled, then I'd say, yeah, probably did it.
	The more advanced kids, actually, instead of having to light something and throw it down, which stinks up the place, you take about a one-inch cube of sodium and flush that baby down the toilet.
	There you go.
	What happens then?
	Well, sodium, when it hits water, starts to produce copious amounts of hydrogen and heat.
	Sweet.
	And then?
	Then it blows.
	Nice.
	No smoking in the boys' room.
	That'll teach you.
	So the Dutch farmers cranked it up a notch.
	This is fantastic.
	They are literally spraying shit on the government buildings now.
	Oh, good.
	And the only mainstream report I can really find outside of the Netherlands is from Sky News.
	So massive protests going on here in the Netherlands right now where Dutch farmers are protesting against rules that would limit carbon and nitrogen emissions out of their farms.
	Massive, massive protests.
	They're blocking highways.
	They're blocking traffic.
	I've seen them even spraying manure on government offices here in some of the clips, which I don't think we'll show you this morning.
	But there's a real big point to this.
	Net zero is really going to hurt.
	And do not let anybody tell you otherwise.
	We have this whole big idea that here in Australia we can just, you know, slide on over to net zero and everything will be fine.
	It doesn't work that way because once you start really doing it, you're talking about cutting down.
	Agriculture, you're talking about how are you going to feed people?
	Already just last month, I just checked, 9.9% inflation last month in that country, and largely as a result of these green policies, net zero, and of course, you know, all the troubles that they're having in Europe at the moment.
	But we in Australia must not allow ourselves to imagine That this sort of thing cannot happen here, will not be imposed upon us here as we go for net zero or that this will somehow be painless.
	There is a lot of pain and frankly a really fear that we are only just beginning to see the tip of it.
	And I think it's a real memo for Australian policymakers to change course now before we hit the iceberg.
	Well, Rita, what is so completely mad about this is that the EU have arbitrarily decided, oh, you can't have more than 30% of nitrogen or something ammonia in the soil.
	And it's all these small, it's always the small business people, the mum and dad farmers.
	It's all these small plots, these farmers, traditional.
	Holland has relied on this forever.
	They want to wipe them out.
	So they've said, oh, all of you, you've got too much nitrogen in your soil.
	So we're coming.
	The government comes, shuts down your farm.
	So, I mean, this is just insane.
	But as James says, Rita, this is the future for Australia.
	We talk about electric vehicles and those idiots in Wentworth and Warringah and all the rest going on about their electric cars.
	The reality is they're going to come after your farming land.
	That's what they're going to do.
	Yeah.
	So the Dutch are very mad.
	The Belgian farmers and the German farmers will be joining the Dutch farmers next week.
	They're locking down all the highways and, although not an official word, they're going to stop delivering to supermarkets.
	People have no idea what's going to hit them.
	It's going to be really bad.
	By the way, don't you remember it was about, wow, eight, nine years ago when we talked about it on the show, the French developed the idea of spewing crap on the side of buildings.
	Yes, yes.
	Remember the French had some, they were pissed off about something, the French farmers.
	Yeah, they came and they dumped manure.
	They, well no, but they also had some sort of a combine, you know, some sort of a wheat gathering thing and they spray it.
	And you spray it.
	And it sprays out about 30 feet and they were coating some parliament buildings with it.
	Yeah, that's pretty much what the Dutch farmers are doing.
	So they get what we would call here the shit kicker, which is a piece of farm equipment.
	And they just turn it around and point it right at the government building.
	And I, I will say one of our, producer Richard pointed out, I was talking about how those pissed off farmers were hitting police vans with a sledgehammer in each hand.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I should have known better, but those are the, they're called the Romeos.
	These are undercover cops and they're whole, you know, they're agitators like what we saw at, you know, the phony baloney undercover agents at 1-6 Jan 6.
	Oh yeah, the insurrection.
	And I went back and I looked at the video and yeah, the guys have earpieces in and they're pretending to be protesters.
	So they're just there to make everybody look bad.
	I think the farmers do a good enough job, though, with the shit kickers.
	I like that.
	Yeah, I like the idea.
	A climate activist in London glued his hands to a Van Gogh frame.
	Two of them.
	Two people.
	Two people?
	One person on each side of the frame.
	I mean...
	I have no idea what the idea is.
	Do they really think this will work?
	I mean, that this results in anything except not being able to view Van Gogh from close up?
	I have no idea.
	And that's the only thing that it will result in.
	But some of these, they're coming out of everywhere, John.
	The nut jobs.
	I cut this down.
	This is Betsy Rosenberg.
	I guess she started Green TV, greentv.com, and she was asked to come on some talk show because the Supreme Court said, hey, EPA, you don't have the right to rule over emission targets for every single state.
	So now we've got to come out and go nuts.
	And I just, and I cut out, so she was arguing with another guy and the other guy is clearly, you know, he's like climate change bullcrap and then, you know, so all of that back and forth I cut out.
	I just left in.
	All of the little memes and slogans and words she's trying, you know, trying to come up with a new catchphrase that will, you can just hear that she's a propagandist and of course not a climate scientist.
	The court said the EPA overreached and did so at the direction of the executive branch, a check and balance.
	Why not just go to Congress now?
	Because Congress has shown that it's completely incapable of acting on climate change.
	And climate change is getting worse by the day.
	The heat waves, the droughts, everything that you see around you is a result of climate change in terms of extreme weather events.
	Everything you see around you, everything, John.
	Everything is, everything is everything.
	So Congress doesn't want to act, this is really, they're kicking the carbon can down the road.
	It's basically just saying, we'll make sure that we don't do anything, probably until it's too late.
	And it is late in the game.
	I cannot believe in mid-2022 when 99.9% of all climate scientists, which I don't think you are, Alex, I saw that you studied computer science in college, doesn't make you an expert on climate change.
	I'm not a scientist either, but I believe science.
	You could hear her brain go, oh shit, I'm not a scientist.
	I should probably mention that.
	Oops.
	You could hear it.
	You could hear the gears crunching.
	I saw that you studied computer science in college.
	Doesn't make you an expert on climate change.
	I'm not a scientist either, but I believe science.
	And we have a problem in this country with eco-illiteracy and science illiteracy.
	Eco-illiteracy!
	And this kind of just really distorting of the situation does not help.
	And we have no time to waste.
	I mean, do you not understand what's happening?
	I was just in Rome last week.
	The river is so low you can I love it where she says, I was just in Rome last week, probably for a conference, you know, talk about net zero.
	You can almost see the sand.
	They declared a state of emergency.
	They call it state of calamity there because the Lazio region, which Rome is in, is so dry.
	And a heat wave just went across Europe twice.
	We just went through two heat waves here while I was away.
	I mean, records are breaking and temperatures are melting.
	It's just beyond belief.
	We have 420 parts per million of greenhouse gases.
	I'm so upset I can't talk straight.
	Temperatures are melting!
	A heatwave just went across Europe twice.
	We just went through two heatwaves here while I was away.
	I mean, records are breaking and temperatures are melting.
	It's just beyond belief.
	We have 420 parts per million of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere right now.
	I love the 420 meme.
	Thanks, lady.
	It's gone up exponentially, quickly, compared to, you know, what happened before the last 20 to 50 years.
	I mean, what about that is normal?
	And by the way, every time you see... Okay, I need some time to respond.
	Alex, Alex, I'll give you time to respond.
	Let's let Betsy finish what she was saying.
	Thank you.
	There's a signature.
	When you see somebody in Oklahoma or Texas who's been hit by a tornado, a hurricane, a fire, extreme wildfires are a huge problem.
	When they say, we've never seen anything like this.
	We've never, we can't prepare for this.
	This is interesting because she talks about a signature and For her to say, you know, what she means is, hey, there's something you should pay attention to.
	People keep saying, we've never seen this before, this has never happened before, this is something, you know.
	But for her to call that a signature?
	I don't know, that sounds like something Norman Lear would put in a document.
	You know what I mean?
	Make sure you put this signature in all your reports.
	I need some time to respond.
	Yeah, yeah.
	There's something very fishy about her trying to slip that in.
	Yeah.
	Uh, as though it's a meme that hasn't been fully formed and she picked up on some part of it and threw it in there just because she's, she's, if you listen to her, she's just throwing everything at it.
	You know, she's throwing, she's gone nuts.
	Alex, Alex, I'll give you time to respond.
	Let's let Betsy finish what she was saying and then we'll get to you.
	I just want to say, thank you.
	There's a signature.
	When you see somebody in Oklahoma or Texas who's been hit by a tornado, a hurricane, a fire, extreme wildfires are a huge problem.
	When they say, we've never seen anything like this.
	We've never, we can't prepare for this.
	We can't build back.
	Whole towns and parts of cities have been leveled like Hiroshima bombs from the storms on steroids that we've never seen before.
	What about that is a joke?
	Where are the whole cities that have been leveled like Hiroshima bombs?
	Paradise.
	But that wasn't from extreme weather she was talking about.
	Yeah, it was a fire.
	Extreme weather caused the fire.
	Not the fact that the land management and the fire management budgets of California were cut probably 50% is the word I heard in California to go elsewhere.
	You know, gender studies.
	Don't blame that.
	Now, it's funny you say that.
	I was re-reading Industrial Society and Its Future last night.
	For those who don't know, this is commonly known as the Unabomber Manifesto.
	Right, that's what it was.
	Professor Ted.
	And I'm reading through just the introduction, and right away he says, Schooling will be turned into technological psychology.
	Every exercise will be meant to shape an opinion.
	People who come out will be taught not to make waves, to be kind to everybody.
	In fact, what he says in so many words is they'll be over-socialized, under-informed, and they will be given doctrine that they will be taught in schools.
	And he wrote this, what, early 80s?
	This, what we're witnessing here is what he warned for, the reason he blew people up because he wanted this published.
	Of course, it did get published and no one cared.
	I don't know if anyone actually read it.
	No, no one cared.
	They're like, all right, stop killing people.
	It's well worth, it's well worth a read.
	It's, I'm just saying.
	Um, this leads to, uh, climate change.
	No, you got a climate change.
	Yeah, sure.
	Well, I think so.
	I'm sorry I was engrossed with that clip.
	I can understand.
	What do we got?
	Oh, interesting.
	I guess there's a bird flu outbreak we got to deal with.
	We're going to have to talk about it.
	Global warming in Iraq!
	In Iraq, no less!
	In other news, Iraq is experiencing record temperatures during a summer heatwave that's caused both droughts and sandstorms.
	It's yet another side effect of global warming.
	One place that's had to get creative in dealing with these soaring temperatures, the zoo in Baghdad.
	Oh man.
	There was a report I had in the previous, I think it was the previous episode, the one before that, I had my It was the same thing.
	It was almost the exact same report.
	Look for the word Iran because they were talking about global warming in Iran.
	I was going to do some research.
	Here it is.
	Temperatures in Iran soared to 126 degrees Fahrenheit Monday.
	Last week, the heat index soared to 165 degrees Fahrenheit in parts of Iran due to high heat and high humidity.
	Wow, 165!
	That seems rather high.
	Yeah, but that wasn't the temperature, if you listen carefully.
	That's bullcrap.
	Let me listen carefully, then.
	Temperatures in Iran soared to 126 degrees Fahrenheit Monday.
	Last week, the heat index soared to 165 degrees Fahrenheit in parts of Iran due to high heat and high humidity.
	Yeah, what is this heat index?
	The heat index is like the new earthquake scale.
	Ah, the new earthquake scale.
	Oh, so then they... So it's really... Temperature 105 degrees feels like 126.
	That kind of thing.
	Oh, man.
	We should figure that out.
	Maybe that's a wet bulb moment.
	Heat index and the wet bulb, when those two meet, you're screwed.
	Uh, so this of course leads to, you know, this Dutch thing, which is, and I think the Dutch are the canary in the coal mine here.
	That because of nitrogen, they are telling farmers, you have to close down.
	And you know, it's, it's, it's a, this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
	The fact that he even got that this far is amazing to me.
	Well, the Dutch are very docile.
	They must be.
	Well, except for the farmers.
	The farmers are saying, no, I want to pass this on to my kids.
	My kids love it.
	It's a family business, you know, we love our animals and we don't agree with what you're doing.
	Now remember, the Netherlands has the formula, formerly known as the Royal Dutch DSM Chemical Factory, has switched to becoming the world's leader in taste and texture products for soy and insect-based protein.
	There's 8 billion euros a year, so they know what they're doing, and they're doing all kinds of indoor agriculture, you know, growing stuff vertically instead of, you know, they're growing it in warehouses, they're using all kinds of chemicals and crap.
	And the food tastes so delicious coming from those places.
	No, it's crap, of course.
	Just to get us ready for this, here in the United States, PBS, which is, now PBS, they receive more funding from the public than NPR, I think.
	PBS is, are they not more tied to the government?
	I mean, PBS gets the Corporation for Public Broadcasting money, which is a giant consortium of money that comes in for every which way.
	And the government contributes to it, too.
	Yeah.
	And of course, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Arthur Daniels Midland and all the... All the agriculture companies.
	All the biggies.
	Monsanto.
	Monsanto.
	So they have a division called PBS Learning Media.
	Learning Media.
	So this is where you can learn through media.
	And they have, right there on their homepage today, they have a lesson, because this is learning media, Environmental Benefits of Eating Insects.
	I'm sure you're kind of interested.
	What?
	Yeah, Environmental Benefits of Eating Insects.
	Let's have a listen.
	Forecasts predict that by 2050, the human population will have swelled to over 9 billion.
	If current eating habits continue, that would mean a doubling of meat production.
	Explain to me how, if we're 8 billion now and we go to 9 billion, why do we have to double meat production?
	I don't quite understand.
	That's a good one.
	You know, that was so obvious it just went right by everybody.
	That's a good catch.
	What is it with one extra billion that we have to double the meat production?
	Yeah, well, the question needs to be asked.
	It's crazy.
	Well, it is, of course, based on current trends, so, you know, current trends.
	Current trends are away from eating meat.
	Continue.
	That would mean a doubling of meat production.
	Ominous drums.
	But that could prove very damaging to our planet.
	How we produce meat is awful for the environment.
	So to produce more meat than we already... You've got... This is the whole reason for the clip is this lady.
	How we produce meat is awful for the environment.
	So to produce more meat than we already do is incredibly problematic.
	Problematic!
	A pound of beef compared to a pound of corn takes 7 times more water and 100 times more land.
	I love comparing beef to corn.
	I mean, what is that even about?
	Beef to corn?
	Hey, you should stop eating beef, eat corn?
	...compared to a pound of corn, takes seven times more water... You know, you can stop right there because something has to be said.
	You know, this false narrative, the false comparisons, there's another word for it where you take one thing and you compare it to something else.
	There's nothing to do with it.
	I mean, beef lives, you know, grazing land usually can't be used for anything else.
	A lot of beef is grown on this You see it all over every country.
	You've got it all over Texas.
	We have it all over California.
	Just huge areas, swaths of what amounts to weeds eventually because they turn brown and then they catch on fire.
	But we have acres and acres of this that can easily be used for grazing and it does take hundreds of acres of it, but it's used for nothing else.
	You can't grow corn on it.
	You can't do jack shit with it.
	Beef can eat off of this land and they can grow from it.
	And yes, it does take a lot of water because it rains everywhere when it rains.
	And so if you're going to count the water coming from the sky landing in this otherwise useless land, sure.
	But this is bull crap.
	And it's just amazing to me that they keep promoting it.
	The term you're looking for is false equivalency.
	False equivalency.
	This is one of the worst examples and you're hearing it right here on your friends from PBS.
	Already do is incredibly problematic.
	To produce a pound of beef compared to a pound of corn takes seven times more water and a hundred times more land.
	This contributes to droughts and high levels of deforestation.
	Many scientists and policy makers are now suggesting that if we hope to- Hold on.
	How does that cause droughts?
	Hold on.
	This contributes- To produce a pound of beef compared to a pound of corn takes seven times more water and a hundred times more land.
	This contributes to droughts and high levels of deforestation.
	I don't think it, I mean, does it actually contribute to a drought?
	A drought is a weather-related event.
	You can take the logic of these people and you count the cow farts.
	Seriously, I think this is where it's coming from.
	The methane from cow farts Contributes to global warming.
	Technically.
	So yes.
	Okay.
	Many scientists and policy makers are now suggesting that if we hope to feed everyone, we need a fundamental change.
	It's not to say that conventional animal agriculture can't fit in with the sustainable food system, but the mass production and the way that we're doing it now is simply unsustainable.
	I agree with that.
	The answer may lie in exploiting a special ability found in many invertebrates.
	Ah.
	Special ability.
	It turns out that insects have the potential to make protein far more efficiently than other animals.
	The reason lies in their physiology.
	This physiological difference has a major effect on the quantity of resources they need to grow.
	Since insects aren't wasting energy trying to keep their bodies warm, most of the calories they eat can be converted into nutrients that we could then eat.
	You get a much higher conversion efficiency with an insect than you would with a mammal.
	When it comes to generating animal protein efficiently, insects rule.
	To produce a pound of beef requires nearly 10 pounds of feed.
	But growing a pound of insects needs less than two pounds.
	One pound of beef also requires over 2,000 gallons of water.
	There it is.
	But the same weight of insect can take less than 12 gallons.
	If you're farming an insect, you don't need to feed them nearly as much as you would a mammal of the same size.
	Insects offer so much promise.
	They're a really accessible form of protein that, you know, potentially could feed the world.
	Oh.
	Thank you, PBS.
	I feel good about that now.
	No.
	You know, by their logic, you know, there's a middle between beef and bugs.
	And that's obvious.
	Eat the humans.
	We take less resources, but yet we're tastier than bugs.
	Oh, we gotta be tastier than bugs.
	What isn't?
	I would like to see the cafeteria at PBS serve bug dishes and see how far they get.
	The commercial that advertised the UMPH, Swedish food company, UMPH, they did the bizarre burger.
	At Halloween, at Halloween, and it was like, ah, this tastes just like human flesh.
	Those ghouls, those ghouls gave the ad an award.
	Ghouls, man.
	These people are ghouls.
	Seriously.
	Wow.
	I didn't even know about this.
	Oh yeah.
	That ad didn't play out here.
	Yeah.
	The ad hasn't played anywhere, probably, but it got an award.
	I love bugs! Bugs! Bugs! Bugs!
	And we did have our first...
	Tastes like poop.
	We did have our first climate lockdown.
	Where?
	Curacao.
	You remember the Dutch family that are nomads and they've been traveling around for two and a half years?
	Go through Africa.
	He donated a couple weeks ago, maybe two months ago.
	Sent a picture of the masks on the goats.
	Yeah.
	Does that ring a bell?
	So he says, Adam and John, after two and a half years of traveling, we finally settled down in the old Dutch colonial island, Curaçao.
	The island is an independent nation, of course, until they need money and request it from the Netherlands.
	Well, a funny thing happened last week, and I think we are the first in the world to have it.
	I think we had the first climate lockdown ever.
	Last week, Wednesday, there was a storm coming towards the island named Bonny.
	This area of the Caribbean typically does not have a lot of hurricanes.
	Our Prime Minister gave a press conference where he told us how serious the matter was and also set a curfew at four in the afternoon.
	Schools were closed for two days.
	No shops were allowed to open.
	You were not allowed to go out at all after 4 p.m.
	And the storm, of course, completely missed them.
	Nothing happened.
	In the press conference after the storm, the breeze, the Prime Minister didn't acknowledge he was overacting, but instead only mentioned that there were too many people on the street after the curfew.
	We should obey the government better because climate change is real, people!
	Next time it may be real, you see?
	That's what he's saying.
	Interesting.
	I got a couple more climate change things.
	I got the ocean climate change protests.
	You heard about this?
	No.
	Oh, they're bitching and moaning about the ocean now.
	In Lisbon, Portugal.
	Hundreds of protests.
	You could have given us an Amy warning, but okay.
	In Lisbon, Portugal.
	Hundreds of protesters marched Thursday outside the U.N.
	Ocean Conference demanding meaningful action to halt pollution, protect marine life, and slow the warming of the Earth's seas.
	The conference brought together some 7,000 scientists, activists, and heads of state.
	Greenpeace Oceans Policy Advisor Laura Meller spoke at a protest outside the talks.
	While activists are trying to peacefully protest outside the conference venue, the re-looters, the ocean destroyers, are out there depleting the oceans as we speak.
	The ocean destroyers?
	Who's that?
	They're, you know, they're them.
	Them.
	Them.
	The ocean destroyers.
	Well, here's an interesting one because this is an example of Amy doing a little character assassination while she's trying to read a news story.
	And I want to see if you can figure out who she is.
	She gives this report, which is pretty straight up.
	She decides to give the needle to somebody that she doesn't like, because I don't know why she doesn't like him.
	I will mention something.
	I'm going to point this out when this happens in these various clips.
	Most of the people on the left, and Amy would be right up there with them, are atheists.
	Wouldn't you think so?
	Do you kind of agree with that?
	Yeah, that sounds fair.
	Sure.
	If somebody's an atheist, why are they so concerned about Indian sacred rituals and sacred rites and sacred objects and sacred land?
	I agree.
	At least Bill Maher is consistent.
	You know, he'll just say it's all crap.
	Yeah, but this is, you know, but she's also sensitive, you know, as you're supposed to be in the media.
	They say sacred land.
	Everyone's an atheist for being religious, but they're Indians.
	OK, but that's just beside the point, because I don't know where that clip went.
	But here's the Supreme Court.
	Now, you tell me if you figure out who she's, who she just out of the blue just gives the needle to.
	The Supreme Court's voted to sharply limit the Environmental Protection Agency's power to regulate carbon emissions from power plants.
	The court's six to three ruling in the case of West Virginia versus EPA is seen as a major victory for the fossil fuel industry and a result of a decades long attempt to limit the regulation of corporations.
	Can I just make a guess now?
	Now that we still have, you know, 28 seconds to go.
	Can I just say... This would have been a good Ask Adam.
	Yeah.
	Here we go.
	Orange man badge.
	I'm just gonna say she's gonna blame Trump.
	That's just my off-the-cuff guess.
	Nope.
	Wrong?
	Okay.
	You sure?
	Because it's like... ORANGE!
	It's not him.
	Liberal Justice Elena Kagan slammed the decision writing to the dissent, quote, the court appoints itself instead of Congress or the expert agency, the decision maker on climate policy.
	I cannot think of many things more frightening, unquote.
	Joining the majority opinion was Trump appointee, Justice Amy Coney Barrett, whose father helped lead the American Petroleum Institute for two decades.
	Well, they had Trump in there.
	I knew it was Trump-adjacent.
	Yeah, you're right.
	I didn't remember that.
	But yeah, I give you half a point there.
	Thank you.
	It was Trump-adjacent.
	Trump-adjacent.
	Did you notice that she says pot climate?
	Yeah, what was up with that?
	I don't know.
	She said pot climate.
	Oh, I just want to hear that.
	That was very odd indeed here somewhere.
	She's talking about hot climate.
	Did she mean hot climate or what?
	I don't know.
	She said pot climate.
	Oh, I just want to hear that.
	That was very odd indeed.
	Here's some climate policy for agency.
	The decision maker on climate policy.
	And so it's just a flub because she's supposed to say climate policy and somehow it comes out as pot policy.
	The decision maker on pot climate policy.
	Cool.
	I like that.
	That's a good one.
	Pot climate.
	You know what?
	You're so idiotic sounding.
	I would like to be a part of pot climate policy.
	I think it's very important.
	You're right on the list there.
	We need to be able to grow stuff, you know?
	Come on, people.
	So I do have one more.
	Now that you brought climate thing as curious, I ended up with a lot of clips I didn't know.
	Yeah, how about that?
	Okay, so we have a Jamal Bowman, who is in the climate, he comes on to talk about the climate problems, and he was, this is interesting, because they transition to another guy, but listen to this, this Jamal Bowman one, listen to this, and then something weird happens.
	That's Congressmember Jamal Bowman.
	We're joined now by Mustafa Ali.
	He is the former head of the Environmental Justice Program at the EPA, the Environmental Protection Agency.
	When does the EPA have anything to do with climate justice?
	I thought they were regulating pollution and all the rest of it, the Environmental Protection Agency.
	This is reminding me of the clip we had in the last show where the Fed is now supposed to deal with diversity.
	Diversity justice.
	Yeah.
	I read that whole bill again.
	It's insane.
	I mean, it's not even hard to read.
	Well, luckily for the nation, it's not going to get passed.
	That's what you say.
	Why?
	Well, it can't get through the Senate.
	It can.
	It depends on who's compromised.
	Well, they need 10 Republicans to join in.
	That's not going to happen.
	Oh, is it one of those 60-vote things?
	Yeah.
	That's too bad.
	Then I ended up with this, I had this sub clip called 1-5, which is the lies clip.
	Play this.
	You are the environmental justice head of it, the environmental justice program at the EPA.
	Which goes to the issue of the disproportionately impacted communities of color in this country, but you look more globally at the world and who is most affected when the U.S.
	is historically the largest polluter in the world.
	That's a lie.
	We're not historically the largest polluter in the world?
	No, historically, yeah, if you go back to the 1800s, during the Industrial Revolution, I think you can probably make the case that we were polluting more than anybody else.
	Yeah, okay, that's fair, but now it's gotta be China.
	China and India.
	India even more so than China, probably.
	It could be.
	It's touch and go with those two.
	And India doesn't care.
	China and India are far worse polluters.
	China doesn't care either.
	They put it in all the agreements.
	We don't care.
	We're putting it in writing for you.
	We're not going to change until, you know, 2050.
	2030 is when they start to think about it.
	Oh, okay.
	That's what I mean.
	2050, they won't do anything.
	The Netherlands, you know, they're all of a sudden, they're like, oh, you know, we got some problems here.
	We got some problems with our, with our energy.
	So they're... The other thing about... Let me finish the sentence.
	So they're... Oh, I'm sorry.
	So they just said, they just approved two nuclear plants, which will be done in about 10 years.
	Yeah, they take forever to build.
	Of course.
	It's crazy.
	Yeah, it's dumb.
	So the other thing is, if you listen to that clip again, she talks, he's the climate justice guy at the EPA, and he's also supposed to be in charge of world affairs when it comes to climate justice?
	Let's listen again, let's listen again.
	You are the environmental justice head of it, the environmental justice... Head doesn't sound like a title, but okay.
	Oh, so he's really, he works for the world.
	He doesn't work for the US government.
	the disproportionately impacted communities of color in this country, but you look more globally at the world and who is most affected when the U.S. is historically the largest polluter in the world.
	Oh, so he's really, he works for the world.
	He doesn't work for the U.S. government.
	He works to police us because we're hurting the other countries.
	What kind of deal is that?
	We're paying this guy?
	Not anymore.
	He's former head.
	Well, that means somebody else took his job.
	So somebody's getting paid to do this.
	Environmental justice.
	Let me just see what comes up.
	Okay, let's go to clip two.
	Hold on a second.
	The Biden administration must declare a climate emergency immediately and use every single power at its disposal.
	Mustafa is the executive vice president of the National Wildlife Federation, also the CEO and founder of Revitalization Strategies.
	Mustafa, welcome back to Democracy Now!
	First, respond... Hold on a second.
	I gotta change... I gotta make a... This was actually the original... Clip change?
	Clip change?
	Clip change.
	I'm sorry, this was the original clip that moved into the other guy.
	This is how it started.
	So let's start it with that in mind.
	Okay.
	By the way, the environmental justice head, and it's literally, PBS has that headline, EPA environmental justice head resigns.
	He resigned.
	He left.
	So why?
	I'm going to find out as we listen to the clip.
	The Biden administration must declare a climate emergency immediately and use every single power at its disposal.
	I'm sorry, he resigned in 2017 under Trump because Trump.
	Oh, Trump, Trump!
	...executive vice president of the National Wildlife Federation, also the CEO and founder of Revitalization Strategies.
	Woo!
	Mustafa, welcome back to Democracy Now!
	First, respond to the court's ruling.
	Well, you know, this radical court, the decision that they came down with, is deeply disappointing.
	It is also destabilizing, and it is deadly.
	My grandmother says that when you know better, do better.
	The court knew better.
	It just decided not to do better.
	And because of that, they put people's lives in danger and they have also put in place steps that will accelerate the climate crisis.
	We have to, you know, continue to engage with frontline communities to make sure that they are going to have the resources they need to be able to navigate this decision as their lives have literally been put in the crosshairs.
	Sounds like we should have had his grandmother running the show.
	She has all the cool slogans.
	All right, let's go to clip three.
	Tell us what the original case, West Virginia versus EPA, is.
	How did this all begin?
	Well, it began because of the Clean Power Plan.
	Of course, we need to go back to the Clean Air Act and just share with everyone, you know, Congress stated at that time that the Environmental Protection Agency had a right and responsibility to make sure that they were addressing the air pollution and protecting public health and the environment.
	Fast forward to the Clean Power Plan, which was actually put in place to be able to minimize the impacts that were happening from carbon pollution.
	To put in place the rules that are necessary to make sure that we have a safety net across our country.
	Rules.
	To be able to lower the carbon emissions.
	So the case that they brought forward is a number of states who did not want EPA to be able to have the ability to do that and as was stated earlier was driven by the fossil fuel producing states and those industries were the main drivers.
	So the ruling comes at a time when climate scientists are urging rich nations to significantly cut down greenhouse gas emissions and divest from fossil fuels.
	Of course, this not only impacts the United States, this decision will reverberate around the world.
	Talk about how it will impact the U.S.' 's plan to It makes it so much more difficult to be able to achieve the goals that the IPCC and the National Climate Assessment has shared with us.
	You know, domestically in our country, just to actually anchor folks in some facts, we've got between 200,000 and 300,000 people who die prematurely from air pollution.
	You're going to die.
	How do they know this, by the way?
	I don't know.
	He's a former head of some thing.
	They're dying of air pollution.
	Yes.
	We've heard this over the years.
	We keep hearing this.
	I mean, somebody might have emphysema and air pollution doesn't help, but nothing helps.
	Hold on.
	Well, yeah, this is not good.
	This is the last one.
	This is the EPA decision.
	This is about the EPA decision by the courts, which is the worst thing that's ever happened.
	Of course.
	Here's some quotes from Democracy Now!
	Capping carbon dioxide emissions at a level that will force a nationwide transition away from the use of coal to generate electricity may be a sensible solution to the crisis of the day.
	But it is not plausible that Congress gave EPA the authority to adopt on its own such a regulatory scheme, Roberts said.
	Liberal Justice Elena Kagan slammed the decision, writing in the dissent, She likes to say slammed.
	She used to use slammed every time with Trump.
	It was slammed and there was some other term she used that was inappropriate.
	Well, let me finish the clip.
	Let me finish her clip.
	That was the first part.
	That was Roberts' comment and then Kagan has something opposite to say.
	Selena Kagan slammed the decision, writing in the dissent, whatever else this court may know about, it does not have a clue about how to address climate change.
	And let's say the obvious, the stakes here are high.
	Yet the court today prevents congressionally authorized agency action to curb power plants' carbon dioxide emissions.
	Justice Kagan went on to write, the court appoints itself, instead of Congress or the expert agency, the decision-maker on climate policy.
	Nothing's more frightening.
	The court's not saying it.
	It's just throwing it out.
	It's saying, no, you can't do that.
	They're not saying that they're going to do it.
	That's what she implied.
	If you listen to what Kagan said, if she read it correctly, she implied that the court's going to take over.
	That's what she implied.
	It's bullcrap.
	I don't know what's wrong with this woman.
	Kagan and Sotomayor are two terrible justices.
	Yeah, they certainly don't.
	You know, it's so poorly understood, the three branches of government.
	People are so insane right now.
	It's like, no, they're not legitimate.
	We have to get rid of the Supreme Court.
	It's no good.
	Congress, they're the ones that do it all.
	Supreme Court, bullcrap.
	We're going back to the origins of the United States, with states' rights.
	This is what's being presented, and states' rights like this haven't been recognized in a long time.
	Probably not really during my lifetime at all.
	So when it comes to, obviously Roe v. Wade is one.
	We say, okay, this has got to go to the states.
	Same with emissions.
	And I'm sure it's going to happen with education.
	And it's about time, because all you hear these people saying is, we need to make rules, rules, we have to have rules, not laws, rules!
	We just make some rules for everybody.
	It's for rule followers.
	It's rules!
	Now, if people were smart, who were interested in their future in the United States and elsewhere, you would probably look to the European Union and see how they're doing.
	How did that work with the Energiewende in Germany, the energy transition?
	I have a couple of clips that address that specifically.
	This is the editor of, what is this, the Australian, isn't it?
	The environmental editor, Graham Lloyd.
	This all started a lot earlier than when Putin rolled his tanks into Ukraine in February, didn't it?
	Yeah, hi Peter, it did.
	And really the sort of initial... What she's referring to, of course, is the price of oil and gas prices around the world.
	Did.
	And really the sort of initial call preceded the war in Ukraine and it came when there was a drought in wind all across Europe during the last summer.
	Reserves of gas that would ordinarily have been stockpiled to use in winter were used due to the absence of renewable power, which set up a cascading disaster that has now resulted in dramatically higher prices, fears that there were going to be shortages and blackouts.
	and a mad scramble across Europe to return to coal, gas and other things.
	And it's interesting, if you look at Lomberg's analysis, he is saying, well, for all the money that has been spent, there's been very little return.
	That is most evident in Germany.
	But it's all down to an evangelical desire to have renewables at the expense of everything else.
	If you look at the situation in Australia where there's been a lack of exploration for gas in particular, that is mirrored right across the European continent.
	They rejected the great advances that were made in the United States with shale oil and gas.
	And even though they have the reserves, they haven't been able to exploit them.
	This is what's led, really, to a global shortage of the commodity.
	And, you know, there's a discussion in Europe as to what extent Russia has pre-planned a lot of this by encouraging people to campaign against resource development in their own countries.
	I love it!
	So now that everything is failing... Damn that Putin!
	This was his long game!
	I had no idea we were foiled again by Putin!
	Damn Putin.
	And, you know, the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, the original, is going to be shut down for maintenance on July 11th.
	Yeah, will that open?
	Will that reopen soon?
	It's already dripping.
	Seems unlikely.
	But what this really, if you want to talk about the long game, it's the, uh, the med pipeline.
	With the, with the Leviathan fields and everything down there off the, you know, that the Israelis and Palestinians are fighting over.
	That's, that's going to be the math.
	That's going to be the most massive, longest underground pipeline ever built.
	So there's lots of, lots of things at play here that this is all just one big show.
	Siemens Energy, the guys who are supposed to bring us the revolution for Germany, for all of the EU with their hydrogen, as they say.
	They mean hydrogen, but they say hydrogen.
	And Siemens, CEO of Siemens Infrastructure was interviewed.
	This is all on Euronews.
	It's fantastic.
	Anything to make you feel better about, I mean, what are they paying now?
	They must be paying $15 to $17 a gallon.
	For gas in the EU.
	It's got to be close to that.
	And their natural gas and the prices of the heating oil and the rest of it is up like 8x.
	It's skyrocketed.
	So, you know, any good news is good news.
	Matthias, how can consumers actively participate in the energy transition?
	Ah, consumers, you can actively participate in the energy transition, the Energiewende.
	That's a very important point.
	Every kilowatt hour which is not being consumed does not need to be produced.
	So stop using!
	That's how you do it!
	Stop using!
	So therefore, you know, reducing consumption, being very mindful, buying renewable energy, and perhaps also driving an electric car.
	Which Siemens technologies actually could enable this participation?
	Yeah, starting with the e-car charging I just mentioned with our electric charging infrastructure.
	Of course, we provide a full-blown solution for AC and DC charging, which is important, but also we integrate renewable energy projects.
	I think it's interesting he says we have full-blown solutions for AC and DC charging.
	That's interesting.
	Are there any DC electric vehicles?
	That we're aware of for DC chargers?
	Aren't they all DC?
	Yeah, but they charge AC as far as I know.
	I don't think they charge DC.
	Sure they do.
	I'm pretty sure they charge DC.
	That's what that box is, that converter.
	You plug it straight into 240.
	Now of course it has to be in the car.
	There's a box in between.
	No, the only box that you have is... It's not sending 240 straight to the car.
	Yes, yes, yes!
	Yes, you can put 240 straight into the Tesla, absolutely.
	But the transverter, the... what is it?
	Trans...
	The converter.
	I'm looking for the world.
	The inverter.
	The inverter is in the car.
	That box on the wall is just to charge you more money.
	I have one in the garage here.
	It's a 240 outlet and anyone can roll their car.
	If the car's running on DC, there's got to be a way to just bypass the AC and go straight DC.
	It'd be more efficient.
	Would it?
	But who has DC charging in their home?
	And don't tell me that's the box, because I don't think it is.
	Nobody... Okay, let's assume that's the case.
	I'm going to go along with it, because I'm not looking it up.
	But if there's a way of doing DC charging, it'd be more effective.
	And he's talking about like a DC charger, like a station.
	Yeah.
	That's why I'm not understanding it, because as far as I know, all cars use AC to charge.
	I'm just asking a question.
	We don't have the answer.
	We should stop asking questions.
	Let's just stop asking questions.
	By the way, stop.
	Since we're talking about this.
	So there's a place where they're going to put four hydrogen pumps.
	We're talking about hydrogen here.
	Yeah.
	Hydrogen pumps over here on this gas station near me.
	I go over there.
	They don't know anything about it.
	But if you look at all the listings and everything, oh, there's where hydrogen's going to go in.
	And they have all these places where hydrogen's going to go in so you can get your hydrogen car and you can fill it up here and there.
	Well, this guy actually has a term for it.
	For my gas station not having pumps?
	No, for the hydrogen.
	They're not going to call it hydrogen.
	How bad is that marketing?
	You're not going to call it hydrogen?
	No.
	They're not going to market it as hydrogen.
	Of course not.
	That makes you think, boom.
	That makes you think Hindenburg.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	Hydrogen was always downplayed.
	The Hindenburg was probably a PR stunt to make it even worse, although that was not.
	Whatever.
	He has a term for it.
	What did you say?
	You say it wasn't hydrogen in the Hindenburg?
	Initially, we went through this.
	Initially, it was always helium.
	Yeah, but we stopped selling helium because it was a natural resource.
	And then they went to hydrogen.
	Yeah, and then they went to hydrogen.
	Hydrogen should work.
	And the first, not the first voyage of the Hindenburg, but the 12th voyage of the Hindenburg blew up when they were using hydrogen.
	Sure.
	It's going to blow up eventually.
	Yes, starting with the e-car charging that I just mentioned, with our electric charging infrastructure, of course, we provide a full-blown solution for AC and DC charging, which is important.
	Full-blown!
	Get it?
	Load up!
	We integrate renewable energy projects, as well as, you know, digitalization is the enabler for the energy transition, so we provide grid software and intelligent building software, who is helping this to bring more transparency and take better decisions.
	Is there any flagship project which you can mention in this context?
	There's many around the world, but if I mention just for a township, the city of Wunsiedel, for example, where everything comes together, so renewable energy, solar, wind, and then even a hydrogen plant where we can create e-fuel, and then we have battery storage.
	So it's totally independent as an island, also in the microgrids supported with our software.
	And then also we have, of course, the We have, of course, the e-mobility charging infrastructure included as well.
	Okay, e-mobility, but the most important one, e-fuel.
	It's not hydrogen, it's e-fuel.
	E-fuel.
	No, he said hydrogen in his little presentation.
	He mentioned it twice.
	He said specifically for the e-fuels.
	So he said hydrogen for... Listen, you'll hear it.
	He said hydrogen for the e-fuels.
	...comes together.
	So, renewable energy, solar, wind, and then even a hydrogen plant where we can create e-fuel, and then... A hydrogen plant where we create e-fuel.
	You see, the hydrogen plant won't be your gas.
	It will, but we just won't call it that.
	We'll call it e-fuel.
	Well, that's probably to refer to the fuel cell.
	So, yeah, I can see you're trying to pull that off.
	Yeah, well, hey, he's the CEO on a press junket.
	Hello.
	That's what you do.
	That's what you do.
	And what is he talking about, this island?
	With an island, yeah, you can have electric, all these different things because you can't go very far.
	Well, he's talking about a small town, which he's calling an island because it's one of those test towns.
	Because no one leaves it.
	Because no one lives there.
	It's a deserted island.
	Yeah.
	But remember, this is what Queen Ursula told us.
	That's why I've got news alerts out on Siemens.
	You've got to keep an eye on these fuckers.
	Oh, so you have a Google thing on Siemens?
	We have a Google thing on Siemens and we have thousands... We?
	You have a house in your pocket?
	What do you mean we?
	Yes, because we have thousands of producers who are also trolling for this.
	Our people are smart.
	That's why they're producers.
	They pay attention to this stuff.
	Now, in the United States, We don't have rationale like e-fuel.
	We just say shut up.
	They say that this could be a long war measured in years.
	And I think everybody understands why this is happening.
	But is it sustainable?
	What do you say to those families who say, listen, we can't afford to pay $4.85 a gallon for months, if not years.
	This is just not sustainable.
	Well, what you heard from the president today was a clear articulation of the stakes.
	This is about the future of the liberal world order, and we have to stand firm.
	Shut up!
	The future of the liberal world order, there it is!
	Biden advisor.
	That was the dumbest thing anyone could say.
	Brian Deese.
	Well, of course, but that's... It's because the truth came out for a moment.
	We're on the topic of the dummies in the White House.
	Yes.
	Have you seen this blonde chick who sounds exactly like Kamala Harris?
	Blonde chick?
	Okay.
	Is this a woman, John, or just a blonde chick who does everything?
	Is she a... Is she a spokeshole?
	No, she's on TikTok.
	She's a TikToker.
	She's a good-looking blonde.
	Do you know her name?
	No, I couldn't find her name, but she's famous for sounding exactly like Kamala Harris.
	I mean, she does, it's an imitation.
	I'm sure she doesn't talk like this all the time.
	But I've also heard another, I think Kamala is someone that a lot of women can do.
	But I've got a 60 second clip of her talking and sounding like Kamala.
	And you have to imagine, this is a blonde woman who looks Nordic, Doing Kamala Harris.
	Okay.
	If you wake up.
	Okay.
	She's already nailing it.
	And don't want to smile.
	If it takes a little while.
	Okay?
	Listen.
	She's doing the lyrics.
	Open your eyes.
	Okay?
	And look at the day.
	Okay?
	You gotta look at the day.
	You do.
	And listen, you'll see things in a different way, okay?
	Listen, full stop.
	Don't stop thinking about Tomorrow.
	Okay.
	Don't stop because it'll soon be here.
	Okay?
	It'll be here better than before.
	Okay.
	Yesterday's gone.
	Yesterday's gone.
	Okay.
	It's gone.
	And listen, full stop.
	It is gone.
	Yeah.
	Elsa Kurt is her name.
	Okay.
	Elsa.
	It's perfect.
	It's like a Swedish name.
	Elsa Kurt.
	That's good.
	That's good.
	She nails it.
	That's very good.
	And I love that she's just reciting the lyrics to Fleetwood Mac while it's playing in the background.
	That's really good.
	Outstanding.
	Hey, JP Morgan predicts oil will be $380 a barrel.
	Oh, that means it's peaked.
	Remember the last time this happened?
	It was Goldman Sachs making these predictions.
	And the thing was headed toward $100, and I think it just maybe cracked it for a very short time.
	It dropped back down, then it collapsed.
	In fact, oil was negative money for a while, like a few days.
	But Goldman Sachs at that point said, $200!
	200 was nothing.
	As soon as they said 200, it started going down and kept going down.
	Didn't we track it on the show?
	Weren't we tracking to see if it could hit 200?
	Come on, hit 200.
	We were looking at it.
	It never made it.
	It never made it.
	Sad.
	I think this is what's going to happen this time.
	Now, just briefly on inflation, because this is something that folds in.
	It's headline inflation, which is food and energy, the two things we've spoken about for the past hour.
	Someone sent me this clip of Milton Friedman from 40 years ago.
	Milton Friedman, the importance of Milton Friedman in economics.
	Is he important in economics?
	Milton Friedman?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, he's the guy who defines supply-side economics perfectly, and he's the one who explained stagflation.
	Every time we have an economic downturn, one economist in particular always shows up, because no one can explain what happens.
	It's like, I don't know what's going on.
	I mean, now they're blaming Putin.
	And so all the old theories go out the door, and one new guy comes up and says, hey, Just listen to me, and I'm going to tell you what's happening.
	And that was Friedman, and he was the last of the great economists that made a name for himself.
	Here is Milton Friedman, 40 years ago, predicting our current predicament.
	In the modern era, the important next step is to recognize that today governments control the quantity of money, so that as a result, Inflation in the United States is made in Washington and nowhere else.
	Of course, no government, any more than any one of us, likes to take responsibility for bad things.
	We're all of us human.
	If something bad happens, it wasn't our fault.
	And the government is the same way.
	So it doesn't accept responsibility for inflation.
	If you listen to people in Washington talk, they will tell you that inflation is produced by greedy businessmen.
	Or it's produced by grasping unions.
	Or it's produced by spendthrift consumers.
	Or maybe it's those terrible Arab sheiks who are producing it.
	Now, of course, businessmen are greedy.
	Who of us isn't?
	Trade unions are grasping.
	Who of us isn't?
	And there's no doubt that the consumer is a spendthrift.
	At least every man knows that about his wife.
	But none of them produce inflation.
	For the very simple reason that neither the businessman nor the trade union nor the housewife has a printing press in their basement on which they can turn out those green pieces of paper we call money.
	Only Washington has that printing press, and therefore only Washington can produce inflation.
	There you go.
	From the man himself.
	That clip has a... Has an ending that I don't have?
	Yeah, there's more to that clip because it gets really good.
	Oh, man.
	What he does, he starts pointing out, for example, the inflationary situation that took place during the Confederate War when the North bombed the printing presses of the Confederates and they couldn't print more money.
	Couldn't print more money.
	I didn't know that.
	And the inflation stopped dead.
	Really now?
	Inflation, it went to zero.
	There was no inflation.
	And then when they got there, they rebuilt a printing press operation in some other town where the North couldn't bomb it.
	And they started printing money like crazy and then inflation cranked up again.
	It was a really good example.
	Oh, that's fantastic.
	Well, now if you ask the other side of the equation, the central bank for the United States, the Federal Reserve, the chairman, Uh, Jay.
	Jay, Jerome.
	Jay, Jake.
	What's his name?
	Jerome.
	Who calls our kid Jerome?
	Jerome.
	Jerome?
	That's from the, what's-his-face, The Time, had Jerome.
	Jerome, get my mirror.
	Here is Powell, and he blames, well, not himself, not the money printer.
	It's obvious who's to blame.
	Mr. Carson, let's talk about a gray box.
	What's your gray box?
	Is there something that you wish you knew that would help in setting money policy?
	Only one thing.
	Yeah, I'd go back to the same thing, really, which is what did we get wrong?
	And that really was looking at these supply-side issues and believing that they would be resolved relatively quickly.
	And by that I mean There were going to be vaccinations, everyone would get vaccinated, so the millions of people who dropped out of the labor force would come right back in, so wages wouldn't be under such pressure.
	That didn't happen.
	For a range of reasons, it didn't happen.
	Oh, there it is.
	Because not everybody got vaccinated.
	They expected everybody to jump on the VAX train, put it in all of their models, because of course, everybody will just get vaccinated, right?
	Right?
	Exactly what that's got to do with the price of bread is beyond me, but okay.
	Oh, exactly what Milton Friedman said.
	They'll blame anything and everything except themselves.
	There was a, and I don't understand it, but I remember the former New York banker told me that the banks were, about the reverse repo market, which is now $2.3 trillion.
	It's doubled in, you know, six months or something.
	It's crazy.
	He said, no, the banks are doing that because they're pissed off at the Fed.
	And so when this article from Zero Hedge, Which, you know, they're kind of like a gossip rag for Wall Street, but they have some pretty, I think they're pretty accurate in a lot of their analysis.
	I like Zero Hedge.
	I think it's got a lot of good stuff.
	1.55% is the current Fed repo rate, which means every single day, $100 million is created, or saved, but created and given to the banks for parking their money with the Fed.
	And in addition to that, we also found out maybe two or three shows ago, the Fed had removed all reserve capacity for the banks.
	So instead of 10%, they didn't have to have any.
	And this is the part that I don't understand.
	So their reserve requirement is zero.
	I'll just read from Zero Hedge.
	Thus converting the trillions in reserves held at the Fed from excess reserves to just regular reserves, And so that also now gets, because the reserves are parked at the Fed, I guess, so that's an additional $141 million a day.
	So what Zero Hedge is saying is that the way this is working, where we're supposed to not be printing as much money with quantitative easing or going to tightening, that the banks are throwing so much money into these reverse repos that it's a quarter of a billion dollars a day of money that's being created that has nowhere to go except into inflation.
	I know.
	That was exactly how I felt about it.
	I don't quite understand it.
	Okay.
	But when Zero Head says it, I'm like, oh, maybe it's true.
	It's got to be something there.
	Whatever the case, inflation, be us.
	So just sticking on the unvaccinated, those nasty, dirty bastards, the cause of inflation.
	If only they had been like Dr. Fauci, if only they had gotten their double boost, their double vax, and their double boost, like Dr. Fauci, they'd probably be doing much better right now.
	Dr. Anthony Fauci had a resurgence of COVID-19 symptoms after a five-day course of Paxlivid treatment.
	Fauci is 81 and said he first tested positive for COVID two weeks ago with very minimal symptoms.
	Once he began to feel worse and given his age, doctors prescribed Paxilavid.
	After the five-day course, Fauci tested negative for three consecutive days, but then had a positive test on the fourth day.
	He subsequently started feeling really poorly and much worse than in the first go-around, he said.
	Doctors put Fauci back on Paxilavid, and after four days, he says he feels reasonably good, but not without symptoms.
	Man, I don't wish anyone to die.
	No, this sounds like the end of Fauci.
	It does.
	That doesn't sound good.
	When an old person says, I'm feeling quite poorly, that doesn't sound very good.
	You know what I mean?
	Well, this last round of COVID has a long afterlife.
	It kind of lingers.
	And to fool around with it, with this Paxlivid thing and some other and who knows what else and it weaken your immune system with all the shots.
	Well, yes, we do have some data on the safety and efficacy of the shots.
	Because this is how it was sold to us, safe and effective.
	Anybody can take it, safe and effective.
	You're all good to go.
	Here's some data which comes from the Epoch Times.
	This right here is a company called Lincoln National.
	It's a fairly large life insurance firm that's quite literally so old that when it was started, the founders actually asked Abraham Lincoln's son whether it was okay to use his father's likeness in their company branding.
	He agreed, and over the past 117 years, Lincoln National has grown to be the 5th largest life insurance company in all of America.
	However, things aren't so hot right now in the life insurance business, evidenced by the fact that last year, meaning in 2021, Lincoln National reported a 163% increase in death benefits that were paid out under their group life insurance policies.
	Now this development came in the form of annual statements which Lincoln National filed with the different state insurance departments throughout the entire country and these documents were first obtained by the Crossroads Report through an open records request.
	Boy.
	Yeah, you know, you can phony up the numbers all you want, but at some point it comes down to the morticians and the life insurance companies.
	These guys come forward and say, hey, you know, we know what these numbers are supposed to be.
	These aren't the numbers we're, you know, that you guys are telling us because we got the dead body right here.
	Or the morticians that find a goop in the people's blood.
	The worms, long wormy goop.
	In Australia they're recognizing vaccine adverse events and they are compensating people for it.
	I find this very interesting because this does not go along with the entire indemnification or immunity that vaccine manufacturers certainly or people who vaccinate you.
	They're all indemnified, they're all immune from any type of lawsuit.
	But Australia is just saying, well, you know what?
	Yeah, a lot of people got hurt, so we're going to start shelling out money.
	It's been a long road to recovery for Matty John.
	It's a really uncomfortable and quite a frightening experience.
	He felt like he was having a heart attack two days after getting the Pfizer vaccine.
	I just got this sharp pain that I've never experienced before in the centre of my chest.
	Diagnosed with severe periocarditis, he was off work for 10 weeks.
	You constantly worry, I suppose, that anxiety around, I suppose we're talking about your heart.
	Maddy's not alone.
	It's estimated 79,000 people have suffered adverse reactions to vaccines.
	Now the government's offering compensation.
	Claims under $20,000 will need evidence from your doctor.
	Claims over $20,000 assessed by a team of legal experts.
	The highest figure reserved for only the most serious of cases.
	600,000.
	I think it could cost the government a lot of money.
	Daniel Opare works at Shine Lawyers.
	He's looked closely at the government's scheme.
	If you do suffer pericarditis, it can result in you being out of pocket.
	You know, you might have to see a cardiologist, you might need procedures.
	So it is definitely appropriate that there is a vaccination scheme there to compensate those people.
	But like all schemes, there are limitations.
	To make a claim, you must spend at least one night in hospital.
	And that's a clause that makes Matty John ineligible.
	He was admitted to hospital twice, but never stayed the night.
	It is a little bit frustrating and out of pocket a fair bit, but in saying that too, it is what it is and that's life.
	The scheme is now open.
	I don't understand why they're doing this.
	Aren't they opening themselves up to all kinds of issues?
	Well, their legal system's not the same as ours.
	Right, but other countries will see this and people will go, like, hey, Australia's recognizing it, why can't you recognize it for me?
	It's just going to create more problems, whether they do anything about it or not.
	You're assuming this information gets out.
	I'm sorry, what am I even thinking?
	How about this information then?
	For two years, two and a half years, the debate from almost the very beginning, bat versus lab.
	Did it come from a wet market in a bat?
	Did it come from the lab in Wuhan?
	You, John C. Dvorak, are the only one who has offered a viable alternative to this debate.
	And Professor Jeffrey Sachs, who for two years chaired The Lancet's COVID commission, the Lancet, no slouchy publication.
	It's the publication, I would say, the Lancet, universally trusted.
	Here's what he said about the debate.
	I'll add one provocative statement.
	We could take it up later.
	It may shock you or not shock you, or you may say, I already know that, Professor Sachs.
	But I chaired the commission for the Lancet for two years on COVID.
	I'm pretty convinced it came out of U.S.
	lab biotechnology, not out of nature.
	Just to mention, after two years of intensive work on this, so it's a blunder, in my view, of biotech, not an accident of a natural spillover.
	We don't know for sure.
	I should be absolutely clear.
	But there's enough evidence that it should be looked into, and it's not being investigated.
	Not in the United States, not anywhere.
	And I think for real reasons that they don't want to look underneath the rug control.
	So most people would hear that and say, oh, he's talking about the Wuhan lab.
	And I disagree.
	I think what he's saying is this is from a U.S.
	biolab in the United States.
	Which would make sense for Dietrich.
	Yeah.
	That's what I'm hearing.
	I think it was moved to Wuhan, but it was developed here.
	It was moved to Wuhan for further development.
	And the other one, since it's a piece of shit lab, everyone's always said it was leaky.
	It's a piece of shit lab.
	It's a piece of shit lab that broke, let the stuff out all over the place.
	The next thing you know, the Chinese are totally freaked out by it.
	Probably irked at us.
	And there's some, you see a lot of diplomatic stuff going back and forth that makes no sense unless you think of it in those terms.
	Uh, that, you know, it's our thing and they don't, you know, they don't want to.
	And so we, the Chinese did something like, you better never blame us for this.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	From a bat.
	Yeah.
	I'm on a bat.
	Oh yeah.
	We'll take that.
	We'll take that.
	Yeah, I know.
	The world is going to shit, man.
	I don't think we've ever seen it this crazy.
	Have we ever seen it this crazy?
	It's always been this crazy.
	That's the great thing about it.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the C's in counting cow farts, ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my friend on the other end, Mr. John C. Dvorak!
	In the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry.
	Also in the morning to all ships at sea.
	Boots on the ground, feet in the air, and all the dames and knights out there.
	And subs in the water.
	In the morning to the trolls in the troll room there at trollroom.io.
	Hello!
	Good to see everybody here.
	We should probably count them.
	All right, hey, let's scurry out of the way there, trolls.
	How many do we have?
	It's for a holiday weekend.
	Not bad. 2008.
	2008?
	Yes, 2008.
	Well, it's a Sunday, and it's a holiday weekend.
	People are stuck at the airport.
	Everyone's at the airport, believe me.
	We'll have clips about that later.
	The Troll Room is there for you.
	It is a place for you to enjoy the full maximum value of your No Agenda show, but not just that, all of No Agenda Nation.
	Uh, 24 seven, there's a stream there.
	And, uh, I, I think having built a very unsuccessful one, I think this is the most successful podcast network.
	It's all talk, no commercials.
	It's beautiful.
	And a lot of them are live and you can listen to that stream live and you can chat about it with fellow friends.
	Typically it's trolling and you're trolling the host.
	You're trolling each other, but it's a lot of fun.
	There's very low moderation as far as I can tell in that troll room and hasn't ever really been for, what is it now?
	13 years of things been going.
	So, we appreciate all the trolls showing up.
	Of course, you can also follow us on our Mastodon.
	Our accounts are John C. Dvorak at noagendasocial.com, Adam at noagendasocial.com.
	You can follow those accounts and once you do, then of course, you'll federate because this works across This is real.
	It's the future of social media.
	Eventually, they'll all move to this kind of model.
	So get a leg up.
	Claim your space now.
	Start a Mastodon server.
	You can do it for five bucks a month.
	It's turnkey operation.
	Definitely worth it.
	I want to thank the artist for episode 1464.
	We titled this Bomb Rotterdam.
	I did not get a phone call from my daughter, so I guess she didn't listen or didn't catch.
	Rotterdam was not afraid of our title.
	Let's put it that way.
	And this art was a hat trick.
	3P for capitalist agenda.
	The new Bitcoin sperm right there.
	Beautiful.
	We both left.
	We definitely have to note that this was a repurposing of an old art piece he had done previously.
	Oh, did we talk about that?
	I didn't know if that had happened.
	Well, you click on his thing and you'll see it.
	And it's his recent, too.
	But it was in different colors.
	But he designed this little sperm that he was proud of.
	He was going to keep using it forever, it seems to me.
	Oh, I see.
	Life is good.
	Yeah, but he needed the... Interesting.
	That was 1463 he had a similar one.
	You're right.
	He was just going to keep pushing that sperm on us until we finally accepted it.
	Yeah, you're right.
	This was a tough one because there was a lot of good art.
	But there were problems.
	Well, the one that we both seemed to like was Darren O'Neal's tube top.
	And it was really well done, it was cheesecake, it was relevant, and it's just like... I probably said, you know...
	I think it was me, ironically.
	Yeah, really?
	But I also wonder why he posterized it.
	I thought it was weird, but he used a Photoshop outline trick and then he posterized it.
	Well, that was to tone down the misogyny, I think.
	He put the misogyny filter on, as if that makes any difference.
	I don't know if that helped.
	Uh, then there was, uh... You liked the turkey.
	You were pushing hard for the turkey.
	The I'm Offended turkey.
	Which one?
	The I'm Offended turkey.
	Oh, the I'm Offended turkey I thought was good.
	That one with the little TikTok logo.
	But when we looked at it... I said it was just too messy.
	There was stuff... It was missing...
	Yeah, it was no good.
	It was missing cohesion or something.
	I mean, you know, I'm no art critic.
	You're like, make turkey great again.
	No, make turkey yay again.
	Yay again.
	Yeah.
	I just thought that piece was just, it was too understated.
	The logo could have been bigger.
	The other thing could have been bigger.
	The one I liked, which the execution was just not right on, was from Tontineel, which was the wheel grabber with Trump grabbing the little plastic wheel on the back of the car.
	Yes, I like that one too.
	But it just didn't have the right execution.
	It was a nice piece.
	It was funny.
	It was the funniest, yeah.
	But it just didn't quite make it art-wise.
	No, I'm looking back and I'm looking and she also did, Tantini also did Boom Rotterdam.
	And I believe the imagery she's using is from Missile Command, if I'm not mistaken.
	An old Apple game from the Apple II days.
	Interesting.
	I could be wrong.
	It could be just me.
	Well, the thing with that is that Rotterdam is not recognized.
	I mean, I see the Euromast, I see the bridge.
	It would be completely, it would be lost on everybody.
	Everybody lost on me.
	All I got was the, obviously, missile command thing.
	Right.
	When you have the title there of the art, yeah, then you understand it.
	But we don't publish the title of the art.
	Anyway, I thought there was a lot of good stuff.
	I even liked a No Agenda Taco Bell from Dirty Jersey Whore.
	Dirty Jersey Whore, assuming it's a woman.
	I'm sure it's a dude.
	Are you kidding me?
	It could be a dude, yeah.
	It's obviously a dude.
	It's only done two things.
	Neither one that good.
	But the Taco Bell thing I thought was well executed.
	Sir Side Reel, the NOAA gender wall, which we didn't talk about during the selection process, which is the Pink Floyd wall with lettering.
	I thought it was nice, a nice piece as a... Just, I don't know, I liked it.
	I don't even see it.
	Way down at the bottom.
	I still don't see it.
	You see the NATO is finished flag?
	NATO is, yeah.
	All the way at the bottom, next to it, to the right.
	To the right where it just says No Agenda Wall and on my computer it just comes up as... It's so light.
	It's the Pink Floyd album cover of The Wall with the same lettering.
	Oh, okay.
	Have you ever heard of Pink Floyd?
	You know, they're a pretty popular band.
	I went to see The Wall presentation by John Waters live at Candlestick Park.
	So how can you miss the actual wall from the presentation you saw live?
	That's interesting.
	Well, the wall was in bricks.
	It was bricks.
	It's bricks here!
	It's white.
	Okay, let's go look at the album cover for The Wall.
	From Pink Floyd.
	And... Lo and behold, it is white!
	With bricks.
	Well, I'm saying, though, the presentation live is not white.
	Oh.
	That's just a cover of that album.
	Yeah.
	Well, I would have thought that they would have... It doesn't matter.
	You can't see it.
	It doesn't look right on... That's all we need to know.
	If it doesn't look right on your computer, then it's no good.
	That's how we... Everyone has a veto in this game.
	He also had the... He did a coat hanger.
	Yeah, we don't do coat hangers.
	So, I'm watching the French protests of the... The French are protesting our court actions.
	They really make a big fuss.
	Oh, you mean they're protesting Roe v. Wade?
	Yeah, yeah, big, big time.
	That's happening everywhere.
	Yeah, it's like an international thing.
	This is really out of control, this internationalism, this globalism.
	So they were protesting the coat, they had coat hangers, the big thick plastic ones.
	No!
	I'm not kidding.
	They don't really understand the coat hanger process, I guess.
	That's interesting.
	I don't know, maybe they don't use wire coat hangers at all.
	I don't know if they stopped using them.
	If you bring this up now, I feel I should play my Roe v. Wade clips.
	We'll do it right after the break.
	Okay, promises, promises.
	Yes, where were we?
	Did I just close that?
	I closed that out, I guess.
	Well, we thank Capitalist Agenda very much for Capitalist Agenda hat trick three in a row, the three Pete.
	Typically, a good artist will now pull back a little bit and let others have a chance in our world of equity.
	But I would say do what J.J.
	used to do, just keep beating him, beating everyone back, and then quitting out of the blue.
	Do like the Dutch guy did it.
	Just beat everybody and then quit.
	And then don't even send a note anymore.
	I'm done with y'all.
	Although he's still pretty active on No Agenda Social.
	Yeah, complaining.
	We appreciate the work that all of our artists do, of course.
	It's fantastic.
	It's one of the highlights of the show.
	The show's over.
	We loved the show.
	We had a good time.
	And then we still get to choose some funky-ass art and look inside of your crazy-ass brains.
	It's a joy.
	It really is.
	I appreciate it.
	And as we move closer towards our 15th anniversary and show 1500, two celebrations coming up this year, thank you again to all the producers who have made this possible for all this time.
	No commercials, no deplatforming.
	We're still here.

	We've never had, as far as I know, have we ever missed a show?
	We've never missed a show, have we?
	No.
	Never missed a show.
	And we've been able to sustain this in what started as an experiment and it's turned into its own entity.
	Value for value is known over the world.
	People don't even know it comes from this podcast now.
	It's really interesting to hear people just throw that out there, value for value.
	Like, I wonder where you got that from.
	So, we deliver you value in MP3 form.
	You send it back in many ways.

	While tough times are here, this will also be time of great opportunities.
	Keep the optimism and humor flowing.
	No jingles, no karma.
	That's true.
	He's in Clarkston, Michigan.
	If any of these are taxes done, look him up.
	He's Derek Winkie, W-I-N-K-E.
	During times of economic depression, great art is always created.
	I mean, great things, great creativity comes out of it.
	Look at the 70s.
	We got disco and roller skates.
	I mean, it was great creativity going on.
	The movie business, definitely.
	Nicholas Everits is in Gallatin, Tennessee, 333.34, our favorite number, plus a little bit.

	There you go.
	You've got And here's a yak!
	Maria plus Mark in Greenwood, Indiana, 240.
	Right away, we got very... By the way, the donations were miserable for July 4th, but we only have six.
	Certainly for Independence Day, I would have expected a little more.
	Yeah, we got more for Canada Day.
	From Americans!
	Yeah.
	Yeah!
	240. ITM John and Adam, this donation, which is my first donation, was the result of winning a raffle at our most recent Crossroads of America Indie No Agenda Meetup.
	Nice.
	He won the big money.
	I highly encourage those who listen to the greatest podcasts in the universe to attend their nearest meetup as they are a wonderful reprieve.
	They are a wonderful reprieve from the stressors of the M5M and give you much-needed opportunity to meet like-minded people.
	From all walks of life, can you please give it a well-deserved karma to a great group of critical thinkers as well as my smoking-hot wife and three human resources who are often in attendance with me?
	If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to hear the hip-hop version of the Dvorak Donate, as it's one of my favorite lesser-played jingles.
	Love is lit, and may you never find an exit strategy.
	June 25th, Crossroads of America Indie Noh Agenda Meetup Report attached.
	Love is lit.
	Maria plus Mark of the Greenwood.
	Next monthly COA Indie Meetup, July 24th.
	I'm trying to think, like I said, the hip-hop version.
	I'm not sure if there's a hip-hop version of the Donate.
	What is this?
	You've got... Donate!
	Donate!
	Donate!
	Karma.
	I don't know of a... Do we have a hip-hop version of that?
	I don't know.
	I'm sorry.
	You'll have to send it to me or let me know.
	I have no idea.
	Thank you very much, Maria and Mark.
	Anne Dunev is in St.
	Charles, Illinois, RoaDux222.22.
	This donation is to celebrate our balanced, fair, factual, and independent media.
	Oh wait!
	That was the other planet.
	So we need the best podcast in the universe to keep us sane.
	Happy Independence to you, John and Adam, and all the producers.
	Thank you, Anne.
	And last on our short list is Sir Benny in Indianapolis, $200.
	And he writes, From Sir Benny to Dame Swanee, Happy Birthday!
	And I believe she's on the list.
	Yes she is.
	That was it!
	Yeah, yeah.
	Very sure.
	And I thought that we would do... I expected some 4th of July stuff in there.
	Yeah.
	And especially since in the newsletter you put something in there that I did not know, which July 2nd, which happens to be today, date of broadcast.
	No, no, no.
	It was July 2nd.
	It was yesterday.
	Today's... No, today's the 2nd.
	No, today's the 3rd.
	Holy crap, that was yesterday.
	Right.
	Yeah.
	That is the actual date of the Declaration of Independence.
	No, no, no.
	It's the day we declared independence.
	The second is the day that was declared.
	The documents were all signed on the 4th and 5th and 6th and 7th and 8th.
	And backdated.
	It was interesting.
	And my favorite part about it, it was in the newsletter, but John Adams says, July 2nd will remain in the American's mind and celebrated for eons!
	Really?
	Yeah, it was in there.
	Well, about a hundred years later...
	So I really feel that the, you know, is it liturgy?
	Is that the term?
	We've lost a lot of our traditions in the United States.
	I'm sure it's the same everywhere.
	I think canon would be the right term for this.
	Canon?
	Our canon.
	We lost our canon.
	Yeah, the canon is like the things you're supposed to know.
	And, you know, President's Day, you know, that's universally known as Mattress Sale Day.
	I think Memorial Day and Veterans Day, no one, it's all confusing.
	No one knows exactly which is which and who are we thanking.
	It's just, you know, we just, thanks for everyone's service.
	You know, we don't give a shit.
	Nobody cares.
	Nobody cares.
	Armistice Day is gone.
	VJ Day is gone.
	Independence Day.
	It used to be called Independence Day.
	Happy Independence Day.
	And of course, that morphed towards 4th of July, which means more sales, you know, around the 4th of July.
	Sales.
	Sales, basically.
	Sales, food.
	Lemons.
	And a buddy of mine, actually, he's Stephen B. He's the developer of CurioCaster.
	And we had him on Podcasting 2.0 on Friday.
	And I needed to have a, you know, get a little audio check from him.
	And he was reading this thing.
	I'm like, what are you reading from?
	I said, oh, I'm reading from the 4th of July passage from Laura Ingalls Wilder, from one of her books.
	And Laura Ingalls Wilder, for those who don't recognize the name, she wrote The Little House on the Prairie, which was a whole series, I think nine books.
	And the sixth or seventh book is Little Town on the Prairie, which is in South Dakota.
	And it's so different.
	About how they, and that was a hundred years, more than a hundred years after the Declaration of Independence, and they all went to the town square, and they all bitched about the Brits, and they all bitched about the King, and here I have just a little bit of a speech here.
	Well boys, I'm not much good at public speaking, but today's glorious, today's the glorious fourth, so they already were talking the fourth and not the second a hundred years later.
	This is the day and date when our forefathers cut loose from the despots of Europe.
	There weren't many Americans at the time, but they wouldn't stand for any monarch tyrannizing over them.
	They had to fight the British regulars and their hired assassins.
	And the murdering, scalping, red-skinned savages those fine, gold-laced aristocrats turned loose in our settlements and paid for.
	Murdering and burning and scalping women and children.
	A few barefoot Americans had to fight the hold of them and lick them.
	And they did fight them, and they did lick them.
	Yes sir, we licked the British in 1776, we licked them again in 1812, and we backed all the monarchies of Europe out of Mexico and off this continent less than 20 years ago.
	And by glory, yes sir, by old glory, right here, waving over my head, any time the despots of Europe try to step on America's toes, we'll lick them again!
	Yeah, those days are over.
	We lick them, but we lick their butts.

	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Water!
	Water!
	Shut up, slave!
	Shut up, slave!
	It's really worth, it's very odd, but reading.
	So I reread all of Little House on the Prairie.
	It's a very short book.
	And you just look at, they went in a covered wagon across, you know, westward, and all they had was the wagon, you know, whatever flower and stuff they had with them, a gun, with musket balls, And an axe.
	And some nails.
	It's amazing how happy they were.
	And look at all the technology and crap we got now.
	We're nothing but unhappy bastards.
	We're just not happy.
	I mean, I speak for, you know, I'm happy, but in general, I think, well, you know, let me tell you, let me give an example because you promised we could do this right after the break.
	Here is someone who's very unhappy.
	This is Ultra Jeff.
	He's from Texas.
	Ultra Jeff is, and we have many liberals in Texas who would vote for the Democrat party.
	And here's his rant.
	I'm not going to shut up about this.
	I'm not.
	Because I can't yell at the Republicans.
	They're not going to change.
	They are who they are.
	We're stuck with them.
	We're not going to change them.
	You can't shame them.
	You can't convince them.
	You can't trick them.
	You can't fucking out-plan them.
	But I can yell at the Democratic Party.
	I should probably say, not safe for work.
	And I can tell them where they can at least make one fucking small change to stop pissing me the fuck off every hour right now.
	Stop sending me Stop sending me fundraising requests right now, OK?
	The Republican Party had a plan for the last 50 years to overturn Roe v. Wade.
	We had a leak five weeks ago telling us that this exact thing was going to happen.
	And your response after five weeks of careful study and planning and thought has been to send us nonstop fundraising emails.
	All right.
	So let me just leave you a quick list.
	Mark Warner, he's the Democratic Senator from Virginia.
	He's worth $214.1 million.
	Don Beyer, he's a Democratic Virginia House member.
	He's worth $124.9 million.
	Dean Phillips, he's a Minnesota House member.
	He is worth $123.8 million.
	Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the fucking House of the Democratic Party from California, is worth $114.7 million.
	Dianne Feinstein, who doesn't know where the fuck she is right now, said the Senator from California, part of the Democratic Party, is worth $87.9 million.
	$87.9 million.
	Million.
	You guys want money?
	Fucking call your guy!
	You call him every week to do insider trading!
	Stop fucking sending me emails!
	Stop sending me fucking texts!
	Stop fucking reading poems and singing goddamn karaoke!
	You have power!
	You have it!
	You're in those seats!
	We're the ones who are powerless!
	Stop fucking pretending you're protesting!
	If you don't want to fucking do it, or it's too hard, fucking retire!
	You're rich as shit!
	You don't need to do anything!
	If I had $114.7 million, Nancy Pelosi, you know what I'd do?
	First thing, I'd get my fucking husband a driver, so he doesn't get a goddamn DUI.
	Second thing you know what I'd do?
	I'd be on a fucking boat.
	I'd be on a fucking boat!
	What I find so interesting of this rant is that not once it doesn't appear to come up in him, in his mind, uh, let's vote them out!
	This does not come up in his mind.
	It's only yelling and bitching and shaming, and I'm sad that he didn't say, stop asking me to chip in, because that would have really made it quicker.
	That would have made it quicker to die.
	I heard this clip and I said, gee, where's the chip in thing?
	That would have been ideal.
	I was the same way.
	I'm like, oh man, I'll play it, but I wish he would have said, stop asking me to chip in.
	So he just doesn't see the obvious.
	And he says, we have no power.
	What?
	That's exactly the opposite of what we should be recognizing on a day like today.
	The people always hold the power.
	But not if you just sit at home and all you can do is drop F-bombs and complain about how rich everybody is.
	That's not going to work.
	I mean, he was just a typical Democrat.
	Well, and I think, I think we need to just say typical socialists because that's, it's, it's so obvious.
	I think you're right.
	It's more socialists.
	It's socialistic.
	Let the government do everything.
	Why, why aren't you doing more?
	How about this?
	Atheist and socialist, satheist.
	Socialist and atheist, satheist.
	I got to write that down.
	It's atheists, they're out of control.
	But it's really, it's a part of that.
	It's because when you're a satheist, You believe the state is God.
	You know, that's where, that's your daddy.
	You know, you don't have a Cloud Daddy, what was it they said?
	You don't have a Cloud Daddy, or a Sky Papa.
	No, you have the state, and you believe the state is going to take care of you.
	And that's the same group, because I saw the professionally printed signs that started this crap down under.
	From Washington D.C.
	to Swanston Street.
	This fury knows no bounds.
	America's decision prompting action on Melbourne's streets as thousands stormed the city in solidarity.
	Stormed in solidarity!
	Women of all ages and their supporters defending their right to have an abortion.
	It's terrifying.
	It makes me, you know, want to cry.
	It's scary.
	No one else should be making laws about what we want to do with our bodies.
	No one should be forced to be pregnant.
	No one should be forced to give birth.
	It's been one week since the US Supreme Court overturned 50 years of precedent, revoking Americans' constitutional right to abortion, effectively banning it in 13 states.
	Today, the message in Melbourne was... We will rise up and fight!
	I just think it's disgusting that they can't choose what they want to do with their bodies.
	We need to show that we care about the people that are over there and we need to show that we won't stand for this happening here either.
	It feels like we've gone back in time as opposed to progressing and going forward.
	Now, it's about to get really interesting in this particular protest, because we know in the United States, these protests have typically been kind of snarked at.
	It's like, oh, you didn't agree with bodily autonomy when it came to vaccinations.
	There's clip after clip of man on the street.
	Of course, it's edited.
	Asking these protesters that very question, well, isn't the vaccination mandate, isn't that also an issue with bodily autonomy?
	And then the brain freezes.
	So you'll hear that same thing happen here in Melbourne.
	The US ruling won't impact laws in Australia but those here today say while abortion may be legal it's not accessible for all and can cost some women thousands of dollars.
	It's a postcode lottery.
	We're fighting for an expansion actually of public health care so that all women can genuinely exercise their reproductive rights.
	But they also had to fight off opposition.
	Men identifying as Christians were thrown out after having... I love this!
	Men identifying as Christians.
	This is a new term.
	I love it.
	They're not really Christians.
	They're just identifying as Christians.
	But they also had to fight off opposition.
	Men identifying as Christians were thrown out after having coffee thrown on them.
	God has spoken.
	He said he's against abortion.
	And the Bible says he's against abortion.
	So we come here to tell people the truth.
	They stand for death, we stand for life.
	Hallelujah.
	But it was the anti-vaccination demonstrators who prompted a response from public order police.
	The tiny crowd booed by pro-abortion protesters after claiming they were fighting for the same cause.
	For many of these women and their children, motivation to march was simple.
	We can just live our own lives instead of having to have a baby that we might not want.
	And for others, it's a matter of life or death.
	Okay, two things before this is almost done.
	So first of all, the anti-vaxxers showed up and said, we're on the same side with you on bodily autonomy, and they got kicked out by the police.
	And then this poor little girl, Who is all of eight or nine years old and looking at her mom the whole time she's talking.
	Well, this is important because, you know, so you don't, you know, get a baby you don't want to have.
	Did the education of this child miss the entire, you know, the whole sex part?
	If you don't want to have a baby that you don't really want to have, did they miss that whole thing?
	Because it doesn't seem like that's the education path here.
	Much was simple.
	We can just live our own lives instead of having to have a baby that we might not want.
	And for others, it's a matter of life or death.
	Take it from those who've been there.
	It was just not the life I wanted at 17.
	Abortion is healthcare, and healthcare is a human right!
	Yeah, and the signs were the socialist signs.
	I forget what it's called now, like Australia Socialists something.
	You could see them.
	Yeah, Labour Workers Party of some sort.
	And these poor women who were there, and some men I presume, they really think that they're doing good, but they're being played as tools.
	They're political tools, and they're being mobilized and activated, and they don't quite understand it.
	Well, since it's got nothing to do with Australia, you'd think not.
	But OK, let's go to France.
	We have the same situation.
	And like you said, this is worldwide as though the United States.
	And I want to mention that I did get this clip.
	I tried and tried and tried.
	I was all over France 24 trying to get this woman saying that.
	And I'm going to say essentially saying, oh, well, it's important what happened there, because what happens in the United States, it affects us all worldwide.
	She said that.
	I'm thinking you're in France and this is, whoa, I thought that was a bad thing.
	I thought that was bad.
	A French person would not say that in my lifetime.
	Well, they're saying it now and here we are in France.
	Let's go to France anti-abortion fear.
	A week after the U.S.
	Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, many countries in the world have seen rallies calling for the right to abortion.
	Here in France, in different cities such as in Lyon, Brest and Paris, demonstrators are demanding for the right to terminate a pregnancy be protected by the Constitution.
	Earlier, France 24 spoke with Denis Barranger, professor of public law at the University of Paris, and he explains why the so-called Simone Veil law is not in the French Constitution.
	The right to abortion is not set in stone in the marble of the written law of the Constitution.
	It's not entrenched in the Constitution.
	It is protected, though, by the Constitutional Court, Conseil Constitutionnel, in France.
	It has done so by some kind of bricolage, by balancing exercise between the freedom of the women and... Hold on, what did he call that?
	Affoutelage?
	What did he call that?
	It has done so by some kind of recollage.
	What is that word he's using?
	I thought he said recollage or some sort of... I don't know what the word is.
	And it sounds like they have a very similar thing to Roe v. Wade in France here.
	I think... I think...
	Yeah, probably similar.
	It is protected, though, by the Constitutional Court, Conseil Constitutionnel in France.
	It has done so by some kind of bricolage.
	Bricolage?
	A balancing exercise between the freedom of the women and the dignity of the baby, of the embryo.
	So, as of now, we see in the U.S.
	that protection by a constitutional court is probably not enough.
	Everything can change politically in France.
	As of now, most parties are not against abortion.
	Even the National Front has said, through the mouth of Madame Le Pen, that they're not against the freedom to abortion.
	But then again, probably there is a sense in Europe now, and especially in France, that setting in stone the right to abort, the freedom to abort, in the written constitution, to entrench it, as we lawyers say, Hmm.
	It might be a good idea.
	It's made to be more difficult than any other parliamentary statute.
	So to entrench any clause in the written constitution, there is a process which begins with parliament.
	So the bill would have to be voted in the same phrasing by the houses of parliament.
	Bricolage is the word.
	It's the word of the day.
	Bricolage.
	The construction or creation of a work from a diverse range of things that happen to be available.
	That's like this show.
	This show is a bricolage.
	Yeah, we're a bricolage.
	We are a bricolage.
	I find it, and they showed the protests and they were just the same as the ones everywhere else, like here.
	And there's a bunch of women walking down the street with signs printed by the socialists about bitching and moaning.
	It's illegal!
	I mean, I'm still shocked in California that anyone's protesting.
	Let's try this on for size.
	This is a shock to the globalist system, the liberal world order.
	And they realized right away that this radical Supreme Court has lifted up the covers and said, America, you're actually free.
	And they can't have that in their countries.
	That cannot go on.
	So that's why they immediately start these protests.
	I don't think this has happened ever.
	Well, that's not true.
	Black Lives Matter.
	We also have Black Lives Matter protests.
	Vaccinations, for God's sake.
	The vaccination frenzy and furor is all, it just looks like the same game.
	All part of it.
	Black Lives Matter is a good example, but I don't think it holds a candle to the vaccination mania.
	Well, I'm just talking about the protests.
	And in this case, they're protesting against a move of freedom by the United States Supreme Court.
	And so that's why they're conflating it, saying, oh, well, they took away your rights.
	They obliterated the constitutional rights of women, which is just factually not true.
	Most women woke up in their state and was exactly the same as the day before.
	So I think there's a little panic.
	I think the globalist angle has got to be it.
	Because what else could it be?
	Because it's global.
	Yeah.
	Here's a local report, Good Morning America, about Roe v. Wade, one week later.
	Let's see it.
	Let's get an update.
	One week after the Supreme Court ruling.
	And with the president facing growing pressure, Biden is ramping up his rhetoric.
	The first and foremost thing we should do is make it clear how outrageous this decision was.
	The president pushing Congress to enshrine abortion rights into law.
	And for the first time, Biden now says he supports making an exception to change the Senate rules so that Democrats could do this with just a simple majority rather than 60 votes.
	I believe we have to codify Roe v. Wade in the law, and the way to do that is to make sure the Congress votes to do that.
	Top Senate Republican Mitch McConnell calling Biden's comments an inappropriate attack on the court that undermines equal justice and the rule of law.
	But even with Biden's backing, a rule change is not going to happen.
	Two moderate Democrats are opposed.
	The president's critics, even members of his own party, are calling for him to do more, demanding sweeping executive action to counter I'm the only president they got, and I feel extremely strongly that I'm going to do everything in my power.
	What?
	You know, they try to keep it so Biden doesn't say anything stupid on these reports.
	I mean, we play the stupid stuff, but the mainstream media just won't do it.
	Obfuscated, of course.
	But this one they fucked up because this was a stupid thing he just said.
	Listen, play that little bit again.
	...for him to do more, demanding sweeping executive action to counter the court.
	I'm the only president they got.
	And, uh, I feel extremely strongly that I'm going to do everything in my power.
	In the meantime... Okay.
	I feel that I'm going to do everything in my power.
	It's like a performative.
	I feel strongly that I'm going to do everything in my power.
	What does that mean?
	Biden is a walking performative.
	That's all the guy does.
	Hey, Joey.
	Joey, sit down.
	I'm only talking about this.
	I'm the only president they got.
	And I feel extremely strongly that I'm going to do everything in my power.
	I feel extremely strongly.
	Extremely strongly.
	Then I'm going to do everything in my power.
	In the meantime, protests across the country rage on.
	We want justice!
	While the reality sinks in.
	I want to explain to our foreign producers, but also a lot of producers right here in America, why this is such a big deal and why it is, particularly around 4th of July.
	I'm just going to go back to Laura Ingalls Wilder for a moment.
	To give you a little feel of what it was like over a hundred years ago, a hundred years after the Declaration of Independence.
	So again, it's 4th of July, her dad is singing my country, tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, and that ends with, protect us, thy might, great God, our King.
	And so here's what she wrote.
	It's very short.
	The crowd was scattering away.
	Lara stood stock still.
	Suddenly she had a complete new thought.
	The Declaration and that song came together in her mind.
	And she thought, God is America's king.
	She thought, Americans won't obey any king on earth.
	Americans are free.
	That means they have to obey their own consciences.
	No king bosses.
	Pa, he has to boss himself.
	When I'm a little older, Pa and Ma will stop telling me what to do, and there isn't anyone else who has the right to give me orders.
	I will have to make myself be good.
	Her whole mind seemed to be lighted up by that thought.
	This is what it means to be free.
	It means you have to be good.
	Our Father's God, author of liberty, the laws of nature and nature's God endow you with the right to life and liberty.
	Then you have to keep the laws of God, for God's law is the only thing that gives you a right to be free.
	And that's the point.
	America was based on the idea that all of these rights were given to us by God, our Creator.
	And the Constitution and the Bill of Rights is only to show what the government, well, to forbid the government from doing certain things in certain areas.
	And it's only been a hundred plus years, and I think the true meaning of that, or how people grow up and feel, has been completely eradicated.
	It's been subverted by the socialists.
	Subverted, subverted, thank you.
	Yes, subverted.
	But it's not eradicated.
	It's still there, obviously.
	And all you have to do is shake somebody hard enough.
	Come out to Hill Country.
	Go to Texas and you'll get it.
	It's not eradicated here.
	Exactly.
	But that's where America is coming from.
	Most of the country, except the media centers.
	Yes, are probably very Christian and think this way.
	Well, even if they're not Christian, they're not Atheists usually, and they tend to follow some of these old ideas and they educate their kids properly.
	It's the media centers that are the problem.
	And education.
	New York, California, Washington, I would put Seattle in there, and their educational systems.
	You go into the flyover states and things are pretty normal.
	Yeah.
	But that's just so people understand that all this noise about the Supreme Court took away constitutional rights.
	That's just factually untrue.
	Do a word search in the Constitution.
	Look for the word abortion.
	See if it's in there.
	Where's the constitutional right?
	And by the way, the Constitution doesn't grant rights.
	It prevents the government from taking away rights.
	That's what it's for, and the Bill of Rights is there just to reiterate.
	To reiterate!
	These are the ones!
	And people have pointed out that, in fact, we've had an expert years ago, we played a clip of the guy going over the Tenth Amendment, which is quite interesting.
	The Tenth Amendment is so important, it's about states' rights, that it had to be put, it's in the Constitution, but it's also in the Bill of Rights.
	It's the only one that's double-dipping.
	It's doubled up, yeah.
	Because it's like, hey, this is important.
	But, okay, so the Supreme Court took away some rights for the first time ever!
	Rights have been taken away!
	We were talking about the legality of federal money being spent on abortions, and I couldn't remember why I thought that was illegal.
	And of course, one of our producers stepped up.
	It's the Hyde Amendment.
	We knew that.
	Oh, yes, the Hyde Amendment.
	The Hyde Amendment.
	I recall Hyde.
	Hyde.
	Henry Hyde, I think.
	Henry?
	Was it Hank?
	Hank Hyde?
	I can't remember.
	Was it a Hank or was it someone else?
	It's Henry.
	You're right.
	Henry J. Hyde.
	Henry Hyde.
	Hank.
	We called him Hank for short.
	Though I've got, just to switch around here, mentioning the atheists, which I've done twice now, I might as well play this clip.
	This is a weird one.
	I guess our government is giving away money, our taxpayers' money, to various atheists, specifically atheist NGOs overseas.
	Oh, yay!
	Is it because they're atheist NGOs, or just happen to be atheists?
	Do they identify as atheists?
	Play the clip.
	House GOP members are challenging the legality of certain large State Department grants.
	The Department says the grants are for international organizations that are, quote, committed to the practice and spread of atheism and humanism.
	It concerns grants of as much as $500,000 each.
	The money goes towards atheists, humanists, non-practicing and non-affiliated individuals.
	And the recipients are based in South Central Asia, the Middle East and North Africa.
	The GOP members' challenge is penned in a June 30th letter to President Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
	The letter says, it is one thing for the department to be tolerant and respectful of a wide range of belief systems and to encourage governments to respect the religious freedom interests of their citizens.
	It is quite another for the United States government to work actively to empower atheists, humanists, non-practicing and non-affiliated in public decision-making.
	It says the same program would be considered unconstitutional in the U.S.
	The letter's signers also want to know how the program advances the foreign policy interests of the United States.
	Hmm.
	What the hell is that all about?
	I don't know.
	It was news to me.
	I might want to point out that during COVID, like a quarter of France's churches were burned to the ground.
	Yeah.
	Is that these NGOs getting that?
	Yeah, we're giving them money to burn churches.
	That's what we're doing.
	Yeah, we really need a review of this giving people money.
	I mean, it's out of control.
	As has witnessed the inflation.
	It's just giving away money to everybody except to the American people.
	It's all right.
	Europe, you get the same.
	Australia, you get the same.
	I love that it's this big protest for freedom and rights in Australia, the most locked down country of all COVID.
	Second only to Beijing, to Shanghai.
	Second only, maybe.
	Might have even topped it.
	A little more humane about it, possibly.
	But, you know, throwing people into camps and stuff, come on.
	And, you know, and that was just to get people ready.
	Because, you know... Yeah, so they're bitching about our Supreme Court.
	You thought the Covid camps were bad and cramped?
	Nah, this is where people are winding up now with, oh gee, Australia has inflation too.
	Cost of living pressures are forcing some Melbournians to downsize to spaces smaller than a room.
	The high-tech sleeping pods are the latest answer to a rental squeeze, as more July the 1st relief looms.
	As Victoria's housing affordability crisis deepens, unique set-ups like these space shuttle pods are offering short-term solutions for renters desperately needing somewhere to sleep.
	I have a lot of in-betweeners.
	They stay here while they look for another place.
	The landlord says more than 80% of his pods in Abbotsford are booked out.
	As of today, the weekly rate is $2.50.
	So these pods, they look like you're in, like you walk into a laundrette.
	Cause it's just these round circles that are the doors.
	They're stacked three high.
	Yeah.
	They used to have these in airports or they tried it.
	Oh, no, no.
	It's smaller.
	I know what you're talking about.
	It's a little eco thing.
	Yeah.
	A little eco pot.
	It's smaller than that.
	Wow.
	Even smaller.
	And you don't have all the cool lighting.
	It's just like a dog kennel, basically.
	Like one of those cat play things without the fuzzy stuff.
	Wow.
	And it was interesting.
	Tina and I were talking about, you know, the rental prices because our kids are all dealing with rent prices increasing like 30%.
	And just on a lark, I said, you know, let me go take a look at that.
	So I had the place post-divorce in downtown Austin.
	It was a great two-bedroom pad.
	It had a nice view.
	Pad?
	It was a pad.
	It was a pad.
	I had the stripper pole.
	It was a bachelor pad.
	It was awesome.
	Pad?
	I said it.
	It was a pad.
	Yeah, no, it's a 70s term.
	And it cost me, at that time, with garage and a storage unit, $2,800 a month for, I think it was... It had a view, it was up in the air.
	It had a great view, 1,300 square feet, I think.
	That same apartment, and I know, and they've changed... $2,800 is a lot.
	Well, that was in 2015.
	Yeah, it was expensive.
	That was an expensive place.
	Well, yeah, but it was half studio, half, you know, one bedroom was studio, the other one was where I lived.
	And it had a stripper pole, come on!
	What's the problem?
	That's worth a couple hundred bucks right there.
	So that was Austin in 2015.
	That same apartment.
	Guess what it cost today?
	$2,800 then, seven years ago.
	What do you think it cost today?
	Without garage and without the storage unit.
	Without garage and without the storage unit?
	That garage is important.
	Yeah?
	I would say, just based on what's going on around here, that would be $37,000 to $42,000.
	37 to 42.
	$47,500.
	47.5.
	Wow!
	That is a rip-off.
	No kidding!
	I mean, even for two people you can't afford that!
	And it's just a piece of shit.
	We called it the penitentiary.
	It was literally a piece of shit as you reported when you used to live there because it was dog poop everywhere.
	And it was leaky.
	You know, I was sick all the time from the construction and the pollen that came in through the balcony door and everything was just leaky.
	You know, you had no full-time attendant downstairs.
	It was, it was crap.
	And now $47,500.
	I mean, that's... And they're getting snapped up left and right.
	People are dumb.
	Or maybe... You know, if you're paying $47,500, that's a mortgage.
	No kidding.
	You can't have a three-bedroom house and pay less than $47,500.
	John, we pay less in mortgage.
	Yeah, you got a big place.
	We got three acres!
	Three acres and a dog!
	Three acres and a dog, the dog comes free.
	And you know what?
	And you can... Yeah, it did come free actually.
	And you could zoom in from here just as easy as from downtown Austin because no one wants to go to work.
	That's unbelievable.
	And meanwhile...
	Out here in Fredericksburg, on Main Street, there's five shops in a row, all empty.
	And you know why?
	They can't get people to work here who also can live here.
	It's unaffordable.
	Fredericksburg, that was affordable.
	It was affordable just as we got in, and then it ended.
	And then everyone started snapping up homes, turning them into B&Bs, because that's the big business here.
	Why would you create a rental home when you can make an Airbnb out of it?
	In four days, you've got a month's rent.
	So now they literally cannot get people to work in stores.
	And they're offering waitress, waitress, waiter, food server jobs.
	I'm sorry.
	Almost 20 bucks an hour, 19 bucks an hour, 19 bucks an hour.
	And you get tips.
	Yes.
	No, no one comes in.
	So the Californians were moving to Austin for a while and this seems to have stopped.
	I keep track of these things.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I get mortgage news, mortgage weekly, I get all these publications.
	And the new places, guess where the new places were number one spot to go if you're going to get the hell out of these, these places like California, where you want to go.
	Is it in Texas or is it somewhere else?
	It's not in Texas anymore.
	So we had Texas, then we had Florida, which I think is still high on the list, and Idaho?
	Well, Florida is the smart money, because you don't have to pay taxes in Texas.
	Right.
	No, Chattanooga, Tennessee is number one.
	Tennessee is also a great place, but it's going to get screwed.
	It's going to become like Austin.
	Well, I was looking at Tennessee, so Chattanooga, I've been there once.
	I've been to most places in Tennessee, small state.
	And I've always liked it.
	People are friendly, the food is good.
	It's got some low rent areas.
	So I'm looking at Chattanooga just to check it out.
	Not because I'm going to go there because I'm not leaving, let's face it.
	I know you're not.
	You're definitely not going to go up to Washington State where vaccines will be mandated this fall.
	Until Inslee's out and they put someone with sanity in there, you're not moving there.
	Well, that's for sure.
	But anyway, so let's take a look at Chattanooga.
	The median home price now for Chattanooga, for a nice place, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, just a kind of a nice house, is about $275,000.
	Which is reasonably good.
	And what are we talking about?
	There's like a three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath?
	Three-bedroom, two-bath, kind of a, you know, no two.
	It wouldn't be two-and-a-half.
	That's about Indiana, my sister-in-law's looking at.
	About $295,000, I think, for that kind of... Yeah, okay, so it's just sub $300,000.
	So I'm looking at this and I'm thinking, you know, saying, well, that's pretty good.
	I can see people moving there if they can find something to do there.
	But then I looked at the... Zillow has these... Yeah, the Zillow price?
	No, they have the charts of historic prices.
	A year ago, you could have bought that house for $125,000.
	And so I'm looking at it, of course, I'm looking at it as, oh my God, I could have just bought two or three places and sold them a year later for doubling your money, all leveraged money.
	That would have been a bonanza.
	You could have just sent a check to Sir Patrick Coble.
	He would have taken care of everything for you.
	It would have been so easy.
	Yeah, he would have.
	He could have taken care of this issue.
	Easy money.
	He would have loved to do it.
	I think, by the way, the way things are going, I think those $275,000, $300,000 places are going to probably go up to about $500,000, $600,000.
	Oh my goodness.
	It's just the way it is.
	The whole country, because of this, besides the bogus inflation and the rest of it, real estate's your best bet.
	Well, tell me how it's going to be after this next report, which is a shorty from J Capital Research.
	She's the co-founder, Ann Stevenson, a financial lady.
	So my base case for China, I think that the Chinese economy is really going to go through a crash.
	And I think that China is going to spew deflation into the world pretty soon, like along about third quarter this year.
	Why so soon and why is it going to be so contagious?
	Because as demand for commodities goes down, China is responsible for a huge amount of commodity consumption.
	And so as their demand declines, then commodity prices decline, and that's an international effect.
	But I think the key thing is that the renminbi has got to depreciate.
	And as the renminbi depreciates, that's what pushes deflation into the world.
	What do you think?
	Well, there's a couple of things going on.
	There's a move right now for the Chinese to take over as the reserve currency, and they can't do it if that happens.
	And they manipulate the currency pretty well.
	And I don't see commodity prices going down from lack of demand.
	I don't know what she's thinking about that.
	I just don't see it.
	I don't see the Chinese thing changing that much.
	Hmm.
	I mean, the ghost cities are already there.
	They've already been accounted for.
	The numbers are in.
	There's already been... So you see no change?
	You see just steady as she goes?
	Yeah.
	Hmm.
	All right.
	Well, that makes me feel a little better.
	I guess.
	I don't care what happens in China necessarily, although we're so dependent on them, I guess we should care.
	That would be one.
	Well, I'd rather that all that just went away, or most of it, so we could figure out what we have to do here.
	Nothing works as motivating as not having food or medicine or pain.
	That would be good.
	But what's really happening, of course, is the opposite.
	Wales has now just announced their basic income pilot, which will consist of £1,600 a month to care leavers.
	And this is a good one.
	This should be enshrined in law everywhere.
	When the child leaves the home, then the government takes over.
	And they start paying them 1,600 pounds a month.
	And you can still work, and anything you make in addition to that, you can keep.
	Don't you think every parent in the world is cheering that on?
	Oh yeah, I would say so, but it's just breeks of inflationary.
	Of course.
	Of course.
	And of course, this is just basic income.
	No one has universal basic income.
	That is what is touted as possible.
	Yeah, that's not going to happen for a vote.
	I don't know if ever.
	Well, they tried that in Russia before during the Soviet era where you had all these people would make work jobs and they got, you know, some sort of subsistence living.
	Didn't work out.
	Uh, yeah.
	I mean, all right, back to clips.
	Well, okay.
	Let me give you this clip.
	This is something we knew would happen.
	This being one of the busiest travel weekends in the United States.
	And globally, it's all following in lockstep.
	This morning, the July 4th holiday getaway is well underway.
	But thousands of flight cancellations and delays mean big crowds and big frustration.
	They cancelled our flights an hour before we were supposed to depart.
	The surging number of travelers and pandemic-related staffing shortages have airlines struggling to keep planes taking off.
	Delta pilots hitting the picket line yesterday, demanding better pay and better schedules.
	We've now flown more overtime in the first six months of this year than we did in 2018 and 2019 combined.
	In those years, those were record years for the airline industry.
	The CEO promising passengers the airline will do better, writing, quote, if you've encountered delays and cancellations recently, I apologize.
	At American, pilots are now being offered a 16% raise.
	Others are getting triple pay to staff regional flights.
	The head of the GSA says his agency is staffed for the holiday, with 1,000 workers on standby if needed.
	We had, last Sunday, the highest number of passengers since the pandemic.
	So I expect that we're going to see something similar ballpark to last weekend.
	Airports overseas facing the same problems.
	In Amsterdam, American Airlines is now suspending ticket sales to the US.
	What?
	This is the same thing KLM had to do.
	Because of the lack of pilots, uh, security staff, just people wanting to work in general.
	They said, we're just not going to sell you any tickets because we can't even, we don't know if we can fly it.
	So don't even ask us for tickets.
	I just have to- Spend the tickets to the US?
	Yeah.
	Why us specifically?
	Because of our problems?
	It's American Airlines, so American Airlines flies to the U.S.
	typically.
	I forgot to mention this.
	10 Downing Street, this is like saying, number 10, it would be like saying the White House is considering 50-year mortgages that can be passed down to your kids.
	Oh, brother.
	You know, this is not the first time this has cropped up.
	Really?
	I love this idea.
	It never worked out.
	Well, no, of course not.
	You just saddle your kids up with debt.
	It's a funny idea.
	It's a great idea.
	You inherited the house, son.
	Along with a 50-year mortgage.
	Generational debt?
	It's exactly the opposite of generational wealth.
	Generational debt.
	It's a great... Hey, way to go!
	You will have nothing and you will be happy.
	So I have one clip from Great Britain, or just part of it, it's from France 24, but this is about the Kakamemi scheme, which is in play and going on, where the British are shipping... Oh, to Rwanda?
	The people to Rwanda.
	Here's the update.
	UK Rwanda.
	The British government's controversial plans to deport undocumented migrants that arrive on its shores to Rwanda have sparked widespread criticism.
	In Rwanda itself, there are already hundreds of asylum seekers waiting for their request to be processed.
	Some have been there for years.
	For the asylum seekers who end up at the Gashora camp in southwestern Rwanda, it is all about patience.
	More than a thousand people have come through here since 2019, when Rwanda agreed to offer shelter to refugees stuck in Libya.
	Residents live in small units.
	There's a cafeteria and a center where people can learn skills such as weaving and hairdressing.
	For many, it's a welcome reprieve after experiencing truly awful moments.
	When I was in Libya, I tried to cross the sea four times, and I failed.
	But the people here are all waiting for governments and administrations around the world to process their asylum requests.
	Some have been waiting for years, making the Gashora camp increasingly feel like an open-air prison.
	So much so that Ismail Banaga says he might just return to Libya to try to make his way across the Mediterranean once again.
	I submitted my case to go to Canada, but since December, authorities keep giving me different reasons for why my case has been delayed and still not approved.
	I see other asylum seekers here have already left Kashura, but I don't know the reason why I'm still here.
	The UNHCR says they have not had a single request to stay in Rwanda permanently.
	So far, more than 600 asylum seekers have been resettled in Canada, Finland, France, and Sweden.
	You know, what the report doesn't really point out is that these, you know, every day there's like 75 to 100 people arriving by boat, rubber dinghy, across the English Channel.
	This is who they want to immediately turn around and deport.
	Yeah.
	Well, that's what they're doing.
	Yeah.
	It's just, there are a lot of people who don't even know where Rwanda is and they show up like, now you're going to Rwanda.
	Here you go.
	Bye.
	So, Franklin Roosevelt did a similar thing with the immigrants coming up from Central America and Mexico during his era.
	He shipped them to Yucatan or something.
	He had there some desolate area and they put them all on a boat.
	It's very controversial.
	Democrats don't like talking about this.
	But he put them on these ships and then shipped them to the Yucatan or someplace like that.
	I think you can look into it and find out where exactly.
	But it was so far away from everything that the word got out and that was the end of our immigration crisis during the Roosevelt administration.
	So it ended the immigration crisis?
	It pretty much did, yeah.
	Because no one wanted to come?
	Yeah, because they're going to get shipped to this crazy place in the middle of nowhere.
	So it's a genius plan.
	Well, it worked.
	Well, no, this... but the Rwanda thing is... I mean, of all the places... No, no, I think so.
	I think Rwanda thing is a genius plan, too.
	Yeah.
	It's cruel.
	Of course it's cruel.
	And probably unfair.
	Yeah, of course it's unfair.
	But, man, does it work?
	I mean, of all the places you could be shipped to... I mean, Australia?
	You know, that's where they used to send them, to the penal colony.
	Now Rwanda?
	And, like, no!
	Even Africans will be like, no, I don't want to go to that country.
	Meanwhile, London had the biggest gay pride parade in London.
	One million.
	Did we have a monkey pox outbreak?
	Not yet, but here's the report.
	Revelers, face paint, rainbow flags and much happiness set the tone for a record-breaking pride parade in central London this Saturday.
	More than a million people gathered to celebrate 50 years of Pride March.
	Made a change, the first one in 1972, with only a few hundreds marches then, surrounded by heavy police presence.
	Here are some reactions in the crowd.
	50th anniversary, and in my heavens, what a milestone.
	What a difference in society between then and now.
	Even just the freedom to do this, when previously there would be no audience and just the police.
	Now look at it, the most popular event in the whole of London.
	Fabulous.
	The thing is gone nuts.
	I grew up with Pride parades in the Netherlands.
	Uh, we have the, you know, we have the big AIDS monument in Amsterdam and the pride parade, um, was a originally, uh, a parade through the canals and you would have boats and the boats would be, you know, people dressed up and dancing and, you know, flamboyant, very flamboyant.
	Uh, but it was, it was always a fun thing to watch and, and just see everyone kind of, but it wasn't exclusively pride, but now.
	What I've noticed with these Pride parades, there's a lot of nudity, which seems to be something of the past two or three years.
	Well, I guess skipping COVID, but the past couple of years.
	I mean, like, just a lot of nudity.
	I mean, we even saw, what's her face, Christina Aguilera in the US with a dildo strapped on.
	Anyways, it's time for the Millennial Minute.
	So listen, because it's super important.
	Yeah, it was a green dildo.
	It was highly inauthentic.
	It was a giant, you know, it was huge.
	It was a rubber thing.
	It was a strap-on.
	Yeah, big giant, but it was huge.
	It was like, you know.
	And it was green.
	It was unrealistic.
	Each ball was bigger than a basketball.
	It was giving people unrealistic expectations.
	It was not.
	It was.
	That was.
	I was insulted by the expectations.
	Thank you very much.
	Anyways, it's time for the Millennial Minute.
	So listen, because it's super important.
	Okay?
	Wow.
	You like that?
	Millennial Minute?
	That's about as good as it's gonna get.
	She wanted to be called the Hot Millennial Assistant.
	She is indeed an assistant to one of our producers and she says, I want to be called the Hot Millennial Assistant.
	Okay.
	Also known as the HMA.
	So let's, now that we're on this LGBBTQKIPABLM plus Noodle Boy, let's play a few of these clips.
	Uh, we start with, uh, well, even though she's not necessarily millennial, she has all the traits.
	Yeah, I was asked... This is, uh, Paris Hilton.
	Yeah, I was asked by President Biden and their team to go DJ for, like, that summit dinner with all the leaders of the world.
	But it was the same night of Britney's wedding and then I'm like, no, I'm not going to miss that.
	They're like, we'll send a helicopter and you can fly back and forth.
	And I'm like, I'm not going to be the one like landing in and out of Britney's wedding in a helicopter.
	Like, come on.
	So I just, I had to cancel.
	canceling the president.
	- Hi.
	- Yay.
	- That's a bold move.
	Did you tell them why you were canceling, that it was an emergency?
	Well, it was an emergency because Britney Spears was getting... Britney bitch.
	Yeah.
	It's Britney bitch.
	Yeah, of course.
	So the question is, what the hell are they thinking?
	They want her to DJ the G7 Summit?
	A bunch of stiffs and they're gonna have Paris Hilton waving arms around the air and playing, you know, hip-hop?
	What?
	What are they thinking?
	You need to go right now and look at the Art Gallery Expo that they all had their picture taken.
	All of these elite douchebags.
	So Macron, and Johnson, and Rutte, and Ursula, and all of them.
	Just go look, G7 Art Expo.
	This whole thing is filled with horns, and blood, and nudity, and gore, and devil stuff.
	It's almost like the Denver airport.
	I'm looking at this one piece that's like a sculpture of garbage.
	Yeah.
	Well, do you see the stuff with the horns?
	The horns?
	I haven't seen the horns yet.
	So there's this one, they're on both sides, it's all the, it's the group shot.
	And in the middle is this painting, it's big, art piece, I don't know if it's a painting, and it's clearly meant to depict a holy person, probably Jesus, except that, you know, so it has a halo, but they're not Jesus.
	No, there's a skull with syringes sticking in the skull.
	It's got bare breasts and it's got horns.
	I mean, And they're like, all smiling, like, yay!
	Here we are at the G7!
	I mean, who... It's like Damien Hirst gone bad!
	It's really incredible what these people are into all kinds of crazy shit!
	It's like that, the tunnel opening...
	I mean, these are cultist-type people.
	Baphomet, that's what I'm looking for.
	Baphomet, symbolism.
	It's all there, Moloch.
	Well, I can't find one of those.
	Moloch!
	What?
	You have to send me a link to these pictures.
	I can use them in the newsletter.
	Okay.
	Ugh.
	When you see them, you won't even want to use them in the newsletter.
	You'll be disgusted.
	Well, that's possible.
	I'm easily disgusted.
	They're inviting them in.
	Now, we do have demons on earth, and these demons usually work at companies that have been tricked into following ESG, Environmental Social Governance guidelines.
	No, it's the demons who create the ESG to trick the companies.
	Well, the companies are a following step, and this is almost like a new Noodle Boy clip to me, except it comes from CNBC, the financial network and hiring practices.
	Great salary, 401k match, paid time off.
	Sounds good, but that may not be enough to attract good employees anymore.
	As CNBC's Sharon Epperson reports tonight, more workers are considering a company's values as a reason to accept a job offer.
	In his recent job search, new college grad Tyrese Thomas focused on salary and benefits, but only in companies that shared his values.
	Innovation, impact, equity are things that are incredibly important to me.
	Thomas was an intern at a tech company in the summer of 2021, in the midst of Black Lives Matter protests and a raging pandemic that was changing workplace dynamics.
	how important it was for employers to show that they have these allegiances with these affinity organizations and these individuals who are working for them.
	And so it's super important for me to be able to find an organization that aligns with my values.
	Workers are split on whether they want business leaders to speak out more on social, environmental, and political issues, including constitutional and reproductive rights.
	Research finds that addressing these issues can influence a company's ability to attract and retain talent.
	Paul Wolf advises companies on HR strategy and workforce development.
	The best companies are going to listen to many opinions.
	And they're not always going to agree with you, but you want a company that's going to listen.
	People want to feel seen and heard, even though the company may not completely agree with them all the time.
	A recent survey finds more than half of U.S.
	employees say they would be willing to take a pay cut to work at a company with values they agree with.
	56% wouldn't even consider a job at a company that has values they disagree with.
	There is more of a social lens put on companies today and what they're doing about things and what they stand for.
	Thomas just started his first full-time job as an associate project manager at an e-commerce company.
	He's hoping his generation can change the way business gets done.
	If we can just, you know, find and crush organizations to kind of live up to, you know, these expectations, we can have significant results for ourselves, for our careers, for our peers, and really the future to come.
	How is this going to work out, John C. Dvorak, business consultant?
	Poorly.
	Exactly.
	These companies all be out of business within five years.
	And these people will not have jobs.
	No, not especially their job.
	I'm taking less pay working over here because I like them.
	Yeah.
	Cause I like it so much.
	Here's a guy who, uh, this is an interesting, uh, little clip.
	This would be my last clip of the day, by the way.
	Uh, this is a USA journalist, an editor there got, uh, Made a tweet to that only women can give have babies.
	Uh-oh.
	Uh-oh.
	Third rail.
	Danger.
	Danger.
	Yeah, we got fired.
	He's no longer at USA Today.
	The former editor at USA Today is speaking out against the politicization of today's news industry.
	In an interview with the Epoch Times, he said the leaders of Gannett and USA Today need to return to older values.
	There's a screenshot.
	David Mastio worked as an opinion editor at USA Today until March.
	He recently revealed that the media outlet demoted him in August last year for tweeting that only women could get pregnant.
	He tells the Epoch Times what he thinks has gone wrong with USA Today's journalism practices.
	I think what's going wrong with reporting at USA Today is that we don't talk to sources that we disagree with or quote people that the reporter disagrees with.
	And I think it's really important in news stories to have both sides and to have people that you talk to who challenge your views.
	Mascio explains that USA Today and its parent company, Gannett, became increasingly liberal because the company hired young reporters to replace more experienced and expensive journalists.
	And these reporters, fresh out of college, come from an overwhelmingly liberal environment.
	They went one small step at a time, and they found themselves with a staff That was too overwhelmingly political, too liberal, and they didn't have the spine to demand that these young reporters adapt to USA Today's values.
	So they changed USA Today to make it more like their report.
	The former editor says he thinks journalism and big companies like Gannett are going off the rails.
	People who think that journalism is about the facts and being honest with our readers need to stand up for the values that made journalism important and influential and are increasingly being abandoned by our industry.
	Well, not only did he get fired, he'll never work again.
	He started up an online news operation.
	It's called Straight Arrow, I think.
	Yes, Straight Arrow.
	And it's financed by some billionaire guy who's paying the bills.
	Well, isn't that exactly how news has always been in the United States, where we had Yellow journalism.
	We had big, rich people financing journalism.
	Wasn't that always that way?
	Yeah, but the Stonish people got rich.
	I mean, the Hearst, for example, got rich off the journalism.
	Although, if you go to the beginning of Hearst, it was really a mining company, Hearst Mining, that really made all the money.
	George Hearst, I believe.
	Right, but it's always been a loss leader for companies like this.
	Was it the Strauss family who owned the New York Times?
	Now it's...
	No, it's the Mexican guy.
	I don't know if it's just the Mexican guy.
	I thought there was... Well, no, it's the Mexican guy I think owns a third.
	He's Carlos Slim.
	Yeah, Slim owns a part of it.
	And I think Arabon's another third.
	And China provides the cash flow, so it's a beautiful thing.
	There you go, boom!
	I'm gonna show my salute by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on no agenda in the morning.

	Yeah, chickens are great!
	I love your chickens.
	Okay, I can play one last clip and we can leave, or you can play a bunch of clips.
	I would like to play two.
	Okay, let me plan my one just so we can bring us up to date on Stacey Abrams.
	This is from the last show.
	You have to look it up.
	Stacey Abrams in Georgia election NTD.
	This is the status of Stacey Abrams.
	She's running for governor again even though she's already been elected once.
	She already won, didn't she?
	Isn't she the governor?
	I thought she was.
	Here she is again.
	A total of 102 sheriffs in Georgia have joined Georgia Governor Brian Kemp in a statement condemning Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams over her support of what they call soft on crime policies.
	The state has 159 sheriffs.
	Thank you very much!
	Camp, a Republican, is seeking a second term.
	He will be competing against Abrams in the November election.
	The governor and the sheriff's statement reads, Stacey Abrams has repeatedly shown complete disdain for law enforcement and the risk we take every day putting our lives on the line to serve our communities.
	Ms.
	Abrams actively serves on the governing board of and has profited from an anti-police organization, which openly advocates for abolishing prisons and stripping local police departments of their funding.
	The organization they are referring to is the Margaret Casey Foundation, a Seattle-based grant-making group.
	Abrams became a board member of the foundation in May 2021.
	Less than a month later, she was one of the board members supporting the foundation's rollout of an anti-police initiative.
	The group has given grants to groups including the Movement for Black Lives and Louisville Community Bail Fund.
	The group's Twitter posts also show that it supports the Abolish the Police and Defund the Police movement.
	The sheriff's statement goes on to say, quote, we are grateful to have the support of Governor Kemp and his administration, and we call on Stacey Abrams to disavow the dangerous policies she supports.
	A spokesperson for Abrams' campaign told Fox News Digital that Abrams does not support defunding the police and, quote, is a longtime supporter of investing in law enforcement.
	Where was that report from?
	Yeah, she zigged when she should have zagged.
	Yeah, where was that report from?
	New Tang Dynasty.
	You won't hear that anywhere else probably.
	Oh no, of course not.
	We're going to keep that with governors.
	We're going to keep it with police and with guns.
	And this will be my last clip.
	This is the unelected governor of New York, Hochul.
	She was lieutenant governor, so when Andrew Cuomo resigned, she became the default governor, and I'm sure she's running again because, well, she knows what she's doing.
	After the Supreme Court decision regarding concealed carry in New York, The right to have a gun?
	She's come up with I think 10 or 13 new rules.
	We're just, we don't care, we're just gonna do this.
	And here was the press conference.
	It was enlightening, especially with this question from a journalist.
	Do you have the numbers to show that it's the concealed carry permit holders that are committing crimes?
	Because the lawful gun owner will say that you're attacking the wrong person.
	It's really people that are getting these guns illegally that are causing the violence, not the people going and getting The permit legally and that's the basis for the whole Supreme Court argument.
	Do you have the numbers?
	I don't need to have numbers.
	I don't need, I don't have to have a data point Shut up!
	to say that this is going to matter.
	All I know is I have a responsibility to the people of this state to have sensible gun safety laws and this one was not devised by the Hochul administration.
	It comes out of an administration from 1908.
	I don't need a data point to make the case that I have a responsibility To protect the people of this state.
	Somebody who's going to go do a mass shooting or something like that may not go get a concealed carry.
	I never said there's any correlation between our solution here and the Buffalo case.
	In fact, I signed a package of 10 laws following Buffalo that dealt with the issues that were raised there.
	Hochul's gun laws, passed after the Tops grocery store shooting in Buffalo, raised the age at which a New Yorker can purchase a firearm to 21.
	But now there are questions about whether restricting public spaces under the new bills infringe on Second Amendment rights.
	What if they can't practice self-defense because of the restrictions?
	My point, let me give you, you like statistics, you like numbers?
	I said at the outset, five people per 100,000 have died from gun violence in the state of New York.
	The states that have more liberal laws carry guns everywhere you want on the theory of self-protection.
	Their average is about 28.6%.
	More people are dying in those states.
	Wow, I'd really like to see those numbers.
	Do you think that's true?
	It seems the exact opposite.
	And maybe it's not states.
	Maybe it's cities?
	I don't know.
	She's annoying.
	She's going to get re-elected because she's an incumbent, and Democrats always vote for their own if they're incumbents.
	Always.
	And so she, because that's what they do.
	Yeah.
	So you go, oh, incumbent Democrat.
	Yep.
	Click.
	And she is a creep.
	Yeah.
	She's actually worse than Cuomo.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, she has a lot of creep to her, that's for sure.
	Remember when she was like, I am God, basically, when she said that?
	I'm God now.
	Don't you remember that?
	Vaguely.
	I just really cringe.
	You cringe about her.
	Okay.
	And she looks cringey.
	I'll just leave everybody with this.
	And improve our preparedness for a potential cyber pandemic.
	The company that handles unemployment benefits for 40 different states has been cyber hacked and they will not be able to send out your checks.
	And there's no end in sight as to when they'll be able to do that.
	But don't worry.
	Let's protest Roe.
	That'll do it.
	And we'll... A poignant ending.
	Yes, well, the reason I say it is it'll probably, the shit will hit the fan because, you know, we're past the first of the month and people are going to be waiting for the checks and maybe it'll be a news story, we'll see.
	Because that's what we do.
	Look at our mission statement at noagendashow.net.
	And stay tuned to noagendastream.com there at the Troll Room.
	Up next, live on the stream, Hog Story 5-Minute Limit with Fletcher, Blaney, and special guest Nick the Rat.
	Oh my!
	I mean, how can you not tune in for that?
	End of show mixes.
	We've got Nicholas Heron, Rolando Gonzalez, and Neil Jones 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 it's fogged in, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We return on Thursday.
	Happy Independence Day, everybody.
	We'll see you on Thursday for our next show.
	Remember us at dvorak.org.
	And as always, adios mofos!
	And such.
	More people died who got the vaccine than who got the placebo.
	In other words, the vaccine killed more people than the placebo did.
	But see, everybody is focused on how many lives we can save from COVID.
	And they're not focused on how many deaths were caused by the vaccine.
	Caused by the vaccine.
	Caused by the vaccine.
	The vaccines have saved 10,000 lives over the course of a year.
	We turned this country upside down.
	Turned this country upside down to save 10,000 lives.
	But we actually didn't save 10,000 lives.
	Because when you look at the VAERS numbers, and you look at it 12 different ways that didn't even use VAERS, you come up with at least 150,000 people who have been killed by the vaccine.
	Killed by the vaccine.
	Killed by the vaccine.
	So you killed 150,000 in order to maybe save 10,000 lives.
	And that's if the actual variant matches the vaccine, which it doesn't.
	Some of you have many different feelings about what is happening.
	The adults of the United States are fanning the children of the United States.
	Some of you are very concerned.
	How many deadbeat dads are there?
	Millions?
	If you want a perfect example of toxic masculinity.
	Some of you are very excited.
	It would be better if it was incompetence because at least we can do something about that.
	And they want to say that we're conspiracy theorists if we talk about it.
	And others are somewhere in between or waiting to see how this goes.
	It's all right.
	I feel that way, too.
	It's all right.
	No more comments.
	We feel that way together, okay?
	This is not a real functioning democracy.
	People are innocent until, you know, alleged to be involved in some type of criminal case.
	Let's not confuse the tactical strategic.
	You create a weapon of mass murder.
	Get the hell out of here.
	I think we now understand better how little we understand.
	We need to stand up and speak loudly.
	Get angry!
	Deprives you of your dignity!
	The use of mass violence, the use of torture and concentration camps, filtration camps to deport people en masse.
	It is an emotional day.
	I want to acknowledge it.
	Someone has to be a loser.
	Why not me?
	Thank you everyone.
	I think if we ever allow ourselves to get to the point that we feel we need boots on the moon to protect some assets, to protect an American flag or an Apollo landing site, a historic landmark, we're in trouble.
	If Russia and China or other actors are going to seek to undermine our capabilities in space, we're going to be ready for that.
	I also would like for our adversaries to know what we can do.
	There are some things that we can do that I think would help chill their enthusiasm for aggression.
	I possess a stellar converter.
	The most powerful weapon in the universe.
	We do not want there to be war in space.
	We do not want there to be conflict.
	We want all of mankind to enjoy its benefits.
	But...
