Time Text
That's what your mom used to say.
Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
It's Sunday, July 31st, 2022.
This is your award-winning Get My Nation Media Assassination, episode 1473.
This is No Agenda.
Fighting for the L's and the G's and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No. 6 in...
6.
In the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're noticing Biden's down again, I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
In the morning!
Isn't that the most hilarious thing in a news report you've ever seen?
Well, I have a question for you.
How are you doing?
Oh, thank you for asking.
I feel like I have a body buzz, you know, and I'm a little shaky.
Shaky, but that's probably the caffeine in the weed didn't help.
But otherwise, good to go.
Ready for a show.
Rock and roll.
So you're, uh, and you sound better.
I do.
Thank you.
Not a hundred percent.
I'm pushing through it, you know?
Not a hundred percent, but it's better than last time, which is the first time I've ever seen you fail.
I will say, I will say just about this BA, uh, BA5 variant.
It is still not the same as a summer cold.
There's some fatigue that I just don't remember from summer colds.
And the only other thing I'd say is, what?
I just have to repeat.
If everyone gets this thing, I mean, no wonder we're in a second quarter of negative GDP.
I mean, this knocks you on your ass for about a week, you know.
It's like this slows shit down.
It's really bad.
But you're back on your feet.
I'm on my feet.
Yeah, I'm on my feet.
Have you tested recently?
I didn't test at all for this.
Why would I do this?
So I could, for the show.
I had COVID, trust me.
Tina tested.
No, for the show, so I have a whole bit I could go into.
About how Biden takes the stupid crap.
What is this, the Prometheus?
What is that drug he's taking?
Paxlovid.
Paxlovid.
Yeah.
Paxlovid.
So he takes the Paxlovid, and just like everyone says, you take it, it's good for however long you take it, then it's no good.
And then it comes back, and then it comes back.
What good is it?
Everything that they've said that was wrong has been proven with the president.
That's the best part.
They say Pax Lovid.
I like Pax Lovid myself.
Well, whatever it is, I'll say this.
Somebody sent me a link to a medical journal, some phony medical journal, where they're praising Biden for taking Paxlovin, and it's a good thing.
It says in the article, literally, it's a good thing they didn't give him hydroxychloroquine.
No, ivermectin.
No, they said specifically in the article.
Oh, really?
It's a good thing they didn't give him hydroxychloroquine, and then I was waiting for them to mention ivermectin.
They didn't say that, but that's what other people are saying.
So heaven forbid they take any of these cheap drugs, which are more or less harmless, and they're taken by the... Which I took, and so, you know... If you took them, you're probably good to go, but that's why I needed a test.
Well, that's what I'm saying.
I took them, and I kept working.
I didn't really stop working.
Well, Biden's still working, too.
Yeah, well, on Zoom.
That's good.
So here's my question, though.
Whatever happened to asymptomatic spread?
Did that just get thrown out the door?
I mean, that was the whole reason for... that's still the whole reason for masking.
You know, you might be sick and not know it, and then you could kill grandma.
Yeah.
But that's, that's not, that's just over.
It's like, ah, if you got it now, you know, five days and then you'll test positive for weeks.
Don't worry about it.
Just go back to work.
Huh.
Yeah.
Huh.
And these are the, this is the problem is the human race forgets very quickly these days.
That's why our show's here.
But it's getting harder for us, Johnny boy.
I mean, we're still able to catch the videos that are coming back after three years, but one of these days, we're just, we're going to get deluged.
Oh, well, you know, there'll be people helping us.
Since you brought it up.
You brought a How Easy People Forget.
Yeah.
I have a pair of clips.
Nice.
About people forgetting.
It's pretty much people forgetting.
This was Ron DeSantis.
He's on your friend... Here we go.
Hair... What's her name?
Hair... Laura.
Oh, Frow... Frow Ingraham.
Frow.
Frow, I'm sorry.
No, no.
From now on, Hair Ingraham it is.
I'll tell you something.
You know, when I used to... Every once in a while, I'd tune in when she was on the radio.
Yeah.
I don't know what kind of mic they had on or what they were doing.
I don't think they liked her because I swear to you, when you heard her on the radio, she sounded like a dude.
Hi, it's Laura Ingraham here.
It wasn't quite that.
It was like a squeaky voice, like a low testosterone dude.
But I still sound like a dude.
Okay.
But Frau Ingraham had on Ron DeSantis.
Okay.
So here we go, DeSantis, and he's making some commentary about leaving California.
Joining us now, and I'm delighted he's with us, Governor Ron DeSantis from the great state of Florida.
Governor, why are these failed left-wing governors deciding to hit you all of a sudden?
I mean, you're just the guy, you're the man of the moment.
Well, I think if you look at California, they never lost population from the founding of the state until this current governor's been in office.
Now they're hemorrhaging people.
Illinois is hemorrhaging people.
New York and their tax bases are getting narrower.
Okay.
Is that fact?
Has California never diminished in population until now?
Well, I've heard this a couple of times now, so I've decided to go back to December 17th, 1971.
Republican Governor of California Ronald Reagan's on the Dick Cavett Show.
Why are people leaving the state for the first time in history?
I was surprised to hear this fact, but I always grew up knowing that people were moving by the rate of 400 a day to California or something.
I believe that this year, for the first time, they're hauling out of here.
Well, being someone who predicted that, I'm not at I've not been too surprised.
There have always been people leaving.
We've always had them coming in.
They've been coming in faster.
There's been this change.
The balance has been in our favor.
But I think what happened is when a state It grows to the size of California and has large urban centers.
It loses some of the appeal that was bringing the people here.
The people were coming here in a kind of a pioneering sense.
It was a new frontier, a new start, new jobs and futures and so forth.
Now when you grow up to being, well, being the most populous state in the Union, you lose some of that and you find people here leaving for the same reason they're leaving states back there.
They're going to Alaska, Arizona, Oregon, Washington.
They get what they used to get here.
That's right.
So the first time, first time, first time.
So I call bullshit on Frau Ingraham.
She should have said something.
No.
And what's perhaps even more interesting, and I'd like to know if the absolute numbers are true, but I would presume because of immigration, this is how California has kept up with people leaving.
Oh yeah, for sure.
Or, is it gotten so bad that California's now also rejecting immigrants and they're just sending them all to Texas?
Well, that would be a positive thing.
California's always had, I really wonder if it's, I mean it grows in bits and spurts, but It's not the first time, and I don't know where they get this, and I'm sure the numbers have been jiggered with over and over again for tax benefits and tax purposes and ways to gouge the government, the federal government in particular.
They're trying to do it now with various programs.
We have this many people, send more money.
Yeah, that kind of thing.
And so I just thought I'd point that out.
That's appreciated.
And let me point out that You know, California is yet in more trouble.
Especially your backyard, John.
Right there in San Francisco.
I don't know what's happening this weekend.
This is my front yard, actually.
Meantime, it is shaping up to be a busy weekend in San Francisco.
And there's concern that a big party this weekend could spread monkey pox.
Woo-hoo!
No!
Especially after the mayor declared a local health emergency just yesterday.
NBC Various, Sid Hill, Quintana found some people are reconsidering their plans to attend a rather risque San Francisco street fair.
It's called the Dory Alley Street Fair or Up Your Alley and over the years it's earned a reputation for being a smaller but racier version of the Folsom Street Fair and this year lots of people are reconsidering their plans to go to that event and related dance parties because of the ongoing monkey pox outbreak.
Very scary.
The declaration of a public health emergency by San Francisco Mayor London Breed was enough to convince San Francisco resident Larry Novita to skip the Dori Alley street fair this Sunday.
I'm just gonna hang out in the neighborhood here.
Um, and just listen to what's going on at Dory through friends.
But others have come to San Francisco just for the event.
I think everyone kind of mitigates their own risk.
Yeah.
And, um, you know, personally, I'm vaccinated and I had monkey pox.
So he's hoping others take appropriate precautions.
It's a painful experience.
You know, there's a lot of unknown, you know, questions that even doctors aren't able to answer.
And It's just scary.
Okay, now this is interesting.
So, the guy's been vaccinated, he's had monkey pox, and yet he says, you know, there's so much unknown, they're scary.
I see that you have monkey pox clips, so I'm going to hand it to you.
Thank you.
Wait, wait, wait.
I want to frame it though.
We need to frame this with a clip I didn't play from the last episode, which is... Before you do anything, before I play my clips.
I've been in the Bay Area forever.
Forever.
Since wood.
I've known about the Pride Parade.
I've known about the Folsom Street thing, which is very, it's like a bunch of nude men, you know, dry humping each other.
That's pretty much what it is.
In public.
Yeah.
I've never even heard of this thing.
This must be outrageous.
I have never heard of it.
Well, I think that is a very good point.
And by the way, you should hang up your assless chaps in shame that you've never heard of this one.
I should.
I can't believe.
You know, I have never heard of it.
And you are the kind of guy who would know.
You would know.
I mean, all kidding aside, you would know about all this shit that's going on.
You know what's happening in Chinatown.
You know everything.
I know what everybody in the Bay Area knows generally, and I keep up with things, but I have never heard of this event.
Now, it's either new, or it's not a real event, or it's so lewd and so gross that nobody wants to talk about it, which is my guess.
It must be an embarrassment to the city.
I'm not so sure.
I mean, I think this whole monkey pox thing, there's a different reason behind it.
Okay, we'll play your clip and then I'll... But this clip is important because this is Tim Nguyen, who is the World Health Organization's High Impact Events Preparedness Unit Head.
That's an incredible title.
High Impact Events Preparedness Unit Head.
And we just need to play this because this is the official word about monkeypox and where we are and what we know about it and what the science is and about the vaccines.
I have been discussing with those manufacturers what is available in 2022.
We have a rough understanding about the three vaccines that are existing at the moment, are being mentioned in the W2 interim guidance for immunization.
So on the MVA-BN vaccine, we do know that at the moment 16.4 million doses exist in bulk, which means they require fill and finish.
We have roughly 1 million of those already in fill and finish situation.
On the other third generation vaccine, the LC16 in Japan, we know from the manufacturer that this is only being produced for the government of Japan and we have good discussion with the government of Japan how to make some of these accessible to other countries.
And thirdly, on the so-called second-generation vaccine, ACAM2000, we know that roughly 100 million doses of this vaccine exist with various member states in their national stockpiles.
So this is the supply situation in 2022, and we're evaluating with the manufacturer what will be more available in 2023, and these are ongoing discussions.
I would like to underline one thing that is very important to WHO.
We do have uncertainties around the effectiveness of these vaccines because they haven't been used in this context and in this scale before.
And therefore, we are calling and working with our member states that when these vaccines are being delivered, that they are delivered in the context of clinical trial studies and prospectively collecting It's a clinical trial.
They don't know what it's going to do.
And everyone's just lining up.
Well, they're all smallpox vaccines.
I understand.
I understand.
But that makes it even worse.
And what is this?
I don't even know if it's mRNA.
I have no idea.
No, no, no.
There's no way.
But there's three generations of it now.
And what he's saying is when they're delivered, they should be delivered in the context of a clinical trial.
Well, yeah, because they've never been used on monkey pots.
Yeah, but I don't think that the men who have sex with men who are lining up to get a vaccine, especially in New York City and in San Francisco, that they're being told, hey, by the way, you know, you're part of a clinical trial.
Do you think that?
I'm betting money that they're signing something.
Oh, signing, okay.
But it's not something you're hearing on the news.
Oh, by the way!
Well, you just know.
You's at your own risk!
Okay.
Well, when you hear the origins of the monkey pox, this story is one of the better pieces that they've done.
And this came from NPR.
It was done as a kind of a An investigative report.
Oh.
You get, you gotta find out two things.
There's something screwy about this particular monkey pox and little boys seem to be involved once, once again.
It's a very, obviously they don't bring it in a disgusting manner.
You did.
But that's the first thing that comes to mind.
What did I do?
You brought the little boys into this conversation.
I didn't, I didn't, I didn't say anything about little boys ever.
What are you talking about?
It was the last show.
No, no.
Well, it's into play now.
Here we go.
Monkey Pox Origins 1.
Nearly 800,000 additional doses of the monkeypox vaccine will soon be distributed throughout the United States, according to health officials.
This comes as the world is struggling to stop the largest recorded monkeypox outbreak in history.
More than 18,000 cases have now been detected in at least 78 countries.
NPR's Michaeline Duclef has an exclusive story about where this outbreak began.
But first, Michaeline, you have a story about the doctor who treated some of those first known cases.
And then he tried to warn the world that monkeypox had become an international threat?
That's right, Asma.
The story actually starts five years ago with a doctor named Dimer Ogoina.
Back in 2017, he saw what's perhaps the most important patient of his career.
They brought my attention to a young boy.
An 11-year-old boy with a very strange rash that looked like blisters.
He had skin lesions that appeared very unusual, very large, affecting the face and all over the body.
Ogunna is an infectious disease specialist at Niger Delta University in Nigeria.
And when he saw the size of the lesions, or pox, he wondered if the boy had what was then a rare disease, a very rare disease.
The suspicion of monkey pox just came up.
So Iguana tested the boy and he was right.
Monkeypox.
At the time, Iguana thought that this monkeypox outbreak would act the way it always had, the way it had been described in textbooks and scientific papers since the 1970s.
That is, the virus came from an animal, like a rodent or a monkey.
There was this speculation that this young boy played with monkeys around the community.
And that the virus doesn't spread very easily between people because it's not very contagious, especially between healthy adults.
Don't play with monkeys, kids!
The one thing that came out of this, this first clip to me was, it's a very rare disease that's only mentioned in books.
That's not what we're told over here!
No.
It's a thing, it's all over Africa!
By the way, you were right.
The context was men who, there were two children who had monkey pox, which was traced back to men who have sex with men.
You're right.
And that was the report.
Yeah.
I'm just saying it was your clip, not mine.
But, Benny, back to this.
This was, I'm thinking, what?
We're kind of told that, oh, it's all over Africa.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's what I... I understood by the way the reporting was going.
Now, listening to the African doctor, it's like he had to... He had to look it up!
He had to look it up and to do a double take.
What?
What?
So okay, this gets better actually, so here we go.
It affects mainly children.
Because when they're playing outside, they often come into contact with animals.
So previous outbreaks were small, only a few dozen cases in rural areas.
And Ogoina and other doctors thought that this outbreak back in 2017 would be the same.
So we thought, okay, it could be the regular monkeypox that we know has been described in Central Africa.
But a few weeks later, Ogoina started to become concerned.
The outbreak began to grow very rapidly.
Cases popped up not just near this boy, but all over.
We are seeing cases just suddenly appearing across the country.
The virus seemed to be spreading further and faster than expected.
And it wasn't kids getting infected, but rather men in their 20s and 30s.
Young men, active men, it was very, very unusual at that time.
These men didn't fit the typical profile for monkeypox either.
They weren't handling animals.
They were middle-class men living in busy modern cities.
And their rashes weren't in the typical places on their bodies.
Instead of being on their faces and extremities, the men had blisters around their genitals.
Nice!
Did NPR put that sound effect in?
No.
What do you think?
Well, she started to do a dramatic... You stripped all over it, by the way.
I couldn't hear it.
I heard it.
I heard it.
Yeah.
I think you should have started earlier.
No, I put this on, obviously.
But it was a boing.
I heard it.
Everyone heard it.
I think that it's disgusting that, again, this is something else that another new piece of news, when we hear about it and they show the elements of it, they always show somebody's hand.
Yeah, there's a hand.
Or a palm of the hand.
Which, think about that.
Palm of the hand.
That's what your mom used to say.
So they'd be on the palm of the hand.
And you see it on, they never mentioned it.
Predominantly the pucks are around the genitals.
So this is more news unknown to the, you know, we're not getting told.
Yeah, now I understand why that guy in my clip was saying it's really painful.
Yeah.
Okay.
Onward.
There were very, very extensive, very, very extensive genital lesions that appeared.
Ogoina started to investigate these patients more and found that many of them had high-risk sexual behaviors, multiple partners, sex with prostitutes.
Ogoina started to realize something huge, that the virus had changed.
And for the first time, it was starting to spread through sexual contact.
We have already proposed that sexual route is something that we need to really look at.
Interesting.
So fascinating because it's so different than what you see in the textbooks, right?
Yeah, completely different.
Why are they not affecting children?
Why not females?
Why not the elderly?
Why are we having young men 20 to 40 years only?
Ogoina knew these findings had massive implications.
It meant the virus no longer needed to jump from an animal.
Instead, it could now easily jump from human to human.
And that meant the current outbreak in Nigeria would be extremely difficult to stop.
It meant monkeypox was no longer just a threat to communities in West Africa, but a threat to the world.
So Agwena tried to warn Nigerian health officials years ago.
They wouldn't listen.
At an international meeting, he tried to bring up the possibility of sexual transmission.
Somebody told him to be quiet.
When we had one meeting, somebody said I should not say it.
Really?
I have experience.
Yes, at one meeting like this, somebody said I should not say it.
That it is not possible.
We should not worry.
Jump ahead five years later.
Tonight, the World Health Organization sounding the alarm on the rapid spread of monkeypox.
More than 70 countries now reporting cases.
The U.S.
nearing 2,900 infections.
New York City is the epicenter of the outbreak in the U.S.
For the first time in history, monkeypox is spreading across the world.
And just as Agoyna predicted, through sexual contact.
All right.
My clean.
I mean, that to me is a wild backstory.
This scientist who had all this important information But he could not get anyone to pay attention to it.
I mean, it's really mind-boggling.
So, this does not spread to women at all?
Well, at least his observations back in Africa, and everybody says that the claim is that this is where it began, and this is still going on in a major way.
I don't know, was that the last clip you played?
No, no, there's one more.
Oh, there's one more.
Play that, and yeah, that's what it sounds like.
And the other thing is the Is that it somehow has to me the stench of Fort Detrick.
You know, thank you, because I didn't want to go all crackpot right away, but it sounds totally like, hey, you know what?
Depopulation?
Maybe if we start with the gays?
You know, a little monkey pox that really only spreads when you're in very intimate contact and it just doesn't affect women?
That has a Ford Dietrich stench about it.
It sure does.
Here we go.
Yeah, you know, in fact, Aguina's insights and knowledge go even further.
He says the outbreak in Nigeria back in 2017 never actually stopped.
Health officials just stopped looking for cases and the outbreak went underground.
And eventually, it actually turned into this huge international outbreak we're fighting right now.
So you're saying that the outbreak today is in fact the very same one that was in Nigeria back in 2017.
How do we know that?
Yeah, you know, there's new genetic evidence that hasn't been published yet showing that this outbreak, this international outbreak we have, started in Nigeria way back, even years before this little boy showed up in Ogoina's office.
Well, what do you mean?
Before that?
Oh, man.
Now I'm yearning for more.
Do I have to listen to NPR?
They're not going to come up with anything more than they did.
That was their best report they've done for a while.
I mean, I have two other monkey pox clips that are kind of interesting, and this is the NPR monkey pox in jail.
And by the way, before you play that clip, knowing what you now know from that last report, monkeypox in jail, how is that spread?
Monkeypox has arrived in the Cook County Jail in Illinois.
It confirmed its first case of an inmate with the disease this week, and some public health experts worry the virus could spread quickly in jails and prisons throughout the country, as NPR's Martin Costi reports.
People who work in corrections healthcare are having some deja vu right now.
Anne Spaulding is a physician researcher at Emory University.
I feel like we've just been through, in some respects, a field exercise.
People are aware, because of COVID, that outbreaks can occur in jails and prisons.
Yes, well, of course.
We understand how that would spread.
What are they doing there?
Come on, John.
I think, you know, they should put a stop to it is what they should do.
Let's go to the second part of that clip.
What do you mean?
The guards are in on it.
Here's another one, by the way.
Here's another thing I learned.
I'm learning a lot today.
Yes!
There's something in here that is like, what?
I didn't know this was going on.
But she says the pandemic experience does not mean that jails are necessarily ready for what's coming now.
Homer Venters is the former chief medical officer for New York City jails.
Now he inspects conditions at correctional facilities around the country.
And he says the fact that monkey pox is transmitted by skin-to-skin contact makes him especially worried about the intake pens at jails.
Those places are often filthy, rarely cleaned, and people are packed together very tightly, shoulder to shoulder, skin contact, for hours, sometimes for days.
Another thing he worries about is co-pays.
Many jails and prisons charge inmates nominal fees to get medical services.
He says that makes some inmates reluctant to get symptoms checked out, say a rash.
I strongly encourage elimination of copays, period, but especially in times like this where we want to know when people are sick.
Some jails took that advice as COVID loomed.
One of them was the South Correctional Entity, or SCORE, south of Seattle.
Devin Shrum is the executive director.
I just, I'm not sure that that would have occurred to us.
Medical co-pays were a pretty standard form of practice in jails and the community.
But because of COVID, we looked at all of the barriers that might keep somebody from reporting symptoms.
Trump says they got rid of co-pays permanently, and that'll now help with monkey pox.
Co-pays?
Did you know this?
You know, I do know a little bit about the amount of money you need to have in jail and the whole system that's set up to send your loved one, your loved inmate money through J-Pay and these types of incredible scams.
Yeah.
Yeah, it doesn't surprise me.
I didn't know about the co-pays, but oh yeah, the whole thing is that you're in there and they bleed you dry while you're in there.
It's unbelievable at co-pays.
I thought they just had a doctor.
You got sick, the doctor, you... I'm sick.
Oh, well, you're gonna have to co-pay.
It's 20 bucks.
What?
I'm in jail.
Where do I get 20 bucks?
Well, you can do me a favor.
Well, there's probably elements of that.
Yeah, of course.
But, uh, from the sounds of it.
I, it just, it's, it's unbelievable.
Well this, this monkey pox has, I mean, it's a, particularly in this moment in time with all of our gender divert, our gender, our genderfication, oh there you go, genderfication.
Uh, all the pronouns and everyone being super sensitive towards each other.
Um, that somehow, and you look at the British papers, you can make jokes about this one though.
Oh, maybe, uh, uh, maybe, uh, uh, people who are at risk of getting monkey pox should go on a bum, a bum vacation.
It's okay to make gay jokes about monkey pox all of a sudden, somehow.
Even in kind of mainstream shows.
The chief of the World Health Organization said this week that queer men should limit their sexual partners.
Notice it's queer men here.
This is very interesting.
To lower the risk.
This is very interesting.
I don't know how many, you know, very, the men calling themselves queer used to be a verboten.
I still don't think they use the term amongst themselves.
I've only heard... Queer is the queer, is the women, but non-binary women.
Typically.
Typically.
At least from our clips from TikTok.
TikTok is our Bible.
The chief of the World Health Organization said this week that queer men should limit their sexual partners to lower the risk of infection and reduce the spread.
So do you agree with that medical recommendation?
Hold on a second.
Now that I've heard it the second time, I'm actually annoyed by it.
Yeah.
It's off script.
This is off script, no matter what, whatever it is.
You can't say queer.
I mean, queer men, who gave, what, what textbook are they, what style guide are they looking at?
What AP guide are they looking at?
That all of a sudden, instead of gay males, it's queer men.
It's, look, this whole thing is- And how did it switch over from men having sex with men to all jump right past gay, right to queer men?
This is the only one I've heard with this, with, I mean, I have a, here, this is- Where'd you get this?
This is from In the Bubble.
It's a, let me see, this is, it's a podcast version of something.
I think it's a- It was, it comes out of something, and that's very professionally done, so- Yeah, no, it's a NPR show.
NPR.
Yeah.
No, I'm sorry, Lemonada Media.
Oh, interesting.
Andy Slavitt.
Well, we know Andy Slavitt, don't we?
This is Andy Slavitt.
Lemonada Media?
Yeah, this is one of those... You're probably using those old Gimlet Neumann mics.
Exactly.
This is one of those... One of those outfits that was purchased for a lot of money.
Or that just has a lot of investment because it does a lot of programming.
Look, if you want to make money in podcasting and advertising and sponsorship, do an LGBTQQIAPK Plus podcast.
They will flock to you.
Flock, I tell you.
Because it's a checkmark for all businesses.
We need to do some S in our ESG.
Let's, uh, hey, we need a LGBTQ Plus podcast.
Yeah.
Okay.
Let's advertise.
You got it.
Check.
Anyway, so here it is.
Let's listen to, let's finally get to the point.
They are, they are, somehow they're, they're next level with this queer men stuff.
The chief of the World Health Organization said this week that queer men should limit their sexual partners to lower the risk of infection and reduce the spread.
So do you agree with that medical recommendation?
We released a document, we being me and two colleagues of mine who are both MPH public health professionals, asking, yes, for our community, until vaccine is more widespread, to consider risk reduction until we get a better biomedical response.
You know, if we say cancel sex parties, Close saunas.
It's just not going to happen.
But if we give people options, you know, I might have coined the term anal autumn, the best thing I've ever written in my entire life.
If we say, hey, wait till September, October, have an anal autumn pumpkin spice latte, you know, think about using condoms, limiting your number of high risk events and sex partners.
But, you know, you got to give people something to say this is temporary and options to still enjoy themselves.
Anal autumn, everybody.
I was even offended by that.
Yeah, but this is the thing.
It's like, it just seems to be okay to make all these jokes, and... I don't know.
I have a very bad feeling about what is... whether... monkey... how monkey pox is exactly related to this, I'm unsure, but the discussion that's going around it, and then, as you already pointed out, this... It's a disease that the majority of people who have it in this country are men who have sex with other men.
Men who have sex with men.
Okay, so men who have sex with men is generally the term that is used.
So we're not using gay anymore, and it seems very confusing, but it became very clear with this next clip that this is about removing gays from the LGBTQ.
Let's just keep it at that.
So we have lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer.
Removing them without having to remove the letter.
You see, the LGBTQ is so embedded in everybody's brain that... Yeah, it says traditional.
It's the... Yeah.
It's the OG.
It wouldn't work if it's just all of a sudden it's a BTQ.
You know, like what kind of shitty sandwich is that?
No, LGBTQ.
So they're trying to remove those people from the group by just marginalizing them into something else, another category.
So you're gay.
Well, you're not our gay, because our gay is queer.
I think that's where that transition comes from.
So you are just men who have sex with men.
And they're going to do the same thing.
I think you're right.
And they're going to do the same thing with the L. Eventually.
This is a TikTok lesbian.
TERFs.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, but they're all TERFs.
Of course they're TERFs.
So it's men who have sex with men and TERFs.
And here's a lesbian on TikTok to explain.
So apparently I missed this.
Lesbian is now an umbrella term.
It doesn't apply to women who are attracted to women anymore.
That's been cancelled.
Now, not only can lesbians be attracted to men, but they can also be men.
So therefore there are no more lesbians, right?
Because, well, because genital preferences are apparently transphobic, so therefore we can no longer have an actual homosexual.
But, because we don't want to remove the letters from our long alphabet group, we're going to create a new definition for lesbians.
Why don't you just take the L off the front of your group?
I hereby petition you, since it no longer exists, and it is transphobic, I hereby petition you to remove the lesbian from your group.
Completely.
Well, of course that's not going to happen, because it's their brand.
And they never want to lose the brand.
So, this is a political party.
This political party of queer.
They should just call it that, but instead... Well, in fact, I think that's what they're trying to do.
I think they're trying to remove all those letters and go to queer.
Yes!
Yes, the queer party.
And queer is, or trans, and I think they're going to have a little problem with taking it all the way to queer.
I think trans is the way to go because transsexual, trans, yeah.
Yeah, but transcommunity doesn't work that well.
Transhumanism, transhumanism.
What do you mean the transcommunity doesn't?
Our transcommunity works very well.
Let's use it in a sentence.
We need more money for our transcommunity.
We need more rights for our transcommunity.
Here's what's disappointing.
Fifteen years of this show.
Gays and lesbians have never had a problem emailing us.
It's silent, John.
It's silent.
And why do you believe that to be the case?
I think they're either... I think they're afraid.
I think they see what's going on, and a lot of them are trying to figure stuff out, but they're not communicating to us for some reason.
But this is a cancellation of lesbians and gays.
And it's like everything else.
Everything else that is difficult or requires some thoughtful discussion.
Let's just simplify the term.
You know?
Well, for one thing, two things have happened.
One is the idea of sexuality has been removed in favor of gender.
Yes.
Gender studies would be, sexuality gender studies has been moved over.
Transsexual, we've already noted, is being changed to transgender.
Homosexuality is not even in the mix.
It's not possible.
It is not possible.
And that woman was pointing that out because she's a homosexual lady who used to describe herself at least amongst her peers as a lesbian and now she can't do that.
She's nailing it.
She's got it.
I think these guys are getting a clue.
And there's no gay men anymore, there's just men who have sex with men.
In other words, men.
Yep.
There you go.
There you go.
And they are the source of disease?
Men.
Men?
Source of disease?
And all the problems in the world.
Well, you know what's funny?
This is from CDC.
How does monkeypox spread?
It can also be spread by respiratory secretions during prolonged face-to-face contact or during intimate physical contact such as kissing, cuddling, or sex.
In addition, pregnant people can spread the virus to their fetus through the placenta.
What?
I thought that was exactly what couldn't happen.
Well, it could be bullshit.
Well, it's pregnant people.
What did you say?
Pregnant people?
Exactly.
This is out of control.
Well, it is.
It is.
It's very.
Nobody can.
And by the way, the fact that you're getting no.
Bothers me.
No information back and forth between the gays that are listeners to the show.
I think everybody is flat footed here.
This went real fast.
But just look at the media.
What is it about saying gay?
Where was the technical memo that said it's men who have sex with men?
And by the way, since when is men only a male?
I mean, this has to be on purpose.
This has to be, watch this, now we'll really screw them up.
I mean, this has got to be some kind of psychological operation.
I mean, it is.
We just don't know exactly who's driving it, but it's... Yeah, who is driving it?
Is it the CIA?
Are they doing anything about it?
Is it the FBI?
Is it George Soros?
I don't know.
Is it Glenn Beck?
Yeah, there you go.
It's Glenn Beck.
It's Alex Jones!
That's who it is!
By the way, I watched the Alex Jones documentary.
Oh yes, the new one.
On Apple TV, which I thought was cool that Apple TV has it on there.
Yeah, this is the one done by that redhead.
Yes, the one from the incel movie.
The incel movie.
And I have to say that now, when you take it, we have an Alex Jones documentary, it's two hours long, and you have a lot of Alex Jones clips at high volume, at freak out level.
After about an hour and a half, you're tired.
You're just like... Yeah, I think two hours is too long for a movie like that.
And that's on the director.
That was just too much, too many things were paced together.
There is other stuff of Alex Jones.
But what hit for me was, because a lot of historical footage, he was very influential on my basic awakening to what's going on in the world.
I do want to recognize that.
And we have played him jokingly for years, but we've always said, look, the dude is right.
It did turn the frogs gay.
A lot of things.
A lot of stuff he said is right.
But as a Genesis of Awakening, I really dispute this.
His importance, maybe for you, I've found from the beginning, because I still have some old clips, I don't have them handy, of him from 1999 when the Y2K thing came about and he went live on the air and the tapes of him, if anyone can dig these up, of him going, oh, it's starting, it's beginning, and he was one of the guys that was promoting the end of the world 1999 Y2K situation.
I found it, Bull... I thought it was such bullshit.
He's also done other things that I know... Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Just stop there for a second.
I'm not quite sure why you said, as for the Genesis, you dispute that.
That's my... that's my Genesis.
No, I said I had disputed being... And I indeed filled up the bathtub and had cash in my freezer.
So I've also gone down the rabbit hole.
So you really believed in cold cash?
Yeah.
So I've also gone down that rabbit hole with Alex Jones.
So for good and for bad, but the only point I'm making is he was influential in some of the basics, you know, about the globalists, the globalist system.
That and his documentaries.
I thought those, you know, those made a difference.
And now he's getting squashed like a bug.
I don't know that he's getting squashed.
He's got a new book coming out.
I thought the whole thing was well-timed.
It was well-marketed.
He was on Bannon's show and they're banning him.
They might as well be having gay sex.
Have you been following the bankruptcies of his companies and the lawsuits?
Oh, Jones?
Yeah, I mean, it's going to be tens of millions of dollars.
Okay, well, that I'm not aware of, and I didn't see this documentary, but I'm just saying he's doing a pretty good job of self-promotion at the moment, which is all I'm paying attention to.
Oh, sure, sure.
Because he's on ban, and he's got a book, which I wonder who wrote the book.
There's no way he wrote it, in my humble opinion as a writer.
Uh, it seems more like something somebody else did and he attached his name to in some ghost writing fashion.
Mhm.
Um, and, and Bannon loves the guy.
Yeah.
And he loves Bannon.
It's really something to see the two of them together.
I'm thinking about monkey parks here.
Could be the result.
Hey, now.
All right.
All right.
I'm sorry.
Something I saw the other day at the HEB here in Fredericksburg, which kind of blew me away the other day, a week ago, last time I was out.
They already were putting out their Halloween displays in July.
In July.
Isn't that a little early?
I would say it's at least two months early, yeah.
So I don't know if this is... Well, at least a month early.
I mean, you could put it out so people can get prepared if they want to really ball up their place.
Yeah, but that makes no sense.
You know, every single day they gotta go outside, they gotta put up all the Halloween stuff that they have for sale, and no one's in the Halloween mode yet, but okay, maybe they're trying to dump inventory they're afraid they're not gonna get rid of.
Doesn't matter.
In the United States, we don't care about anything, particularly when it comes to our food.
We just don't care what we eat.
And that's because we get stories like this.
Tonight, Hershey, one of the world's largest chocolate makers, is warning of a shortage of Kit Kats, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and other sweets this Halloween, as it struggles to ramp up supply.
Hershey said lack of key ingredients can be blamed in part on the war in Ukraine.
Halloween accounts for about a tenth of Hershey's annual sales.
They do cocoa now in Ukraine?
Interesting.
So that's what we care about.
They don't do that.
I mean, what do they do in Ukraine?
They don't grow peanuts.
No.
But this is...
That's bull crap.
This is just more pre...
Yes.
This is a promotion, a native ad.
That's what I was going to say.
And HCB being, I have a native ad today.
Well, I was going to talk about some food stuff because I have a Dutch farmer I'd like us to listen to.
Okay, let's go that way.
Because, and this, this Dutch farmer, his name is Jeroen van Manen.
He is, Longer time listeners of The No Agenda Show will love it because he speaks what we call Steenkola Engels, which is the OG black coal English, which means raw and in your face, which is very much the way I've always portrayed the Dutch people speaking.
Yes, you nail it.
Yes, okay.
Your best voice.
Well, this guy... Except for the grumpy guy who's always emailing us.
Well, this guy, this guy is the OG when it comes to that.
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
This is Jeroen Vermaene.
I'm a dairy farmer from Zeewolde, a city in the middle of the Netherlands.
Someone asked me if I could send a message.
What's going on in Holland?
What's all about these farmer protests and why are Dutch farmers angry?
I mean, is this guy compelling to listen to or what?
Well, he says Dutch instead of Dutch, like you say.
Well, okay.
It's a variation.
I mean, he's anglicized.
He's doing better than most, but... It's a great voice and very understandable.
Yeah.
We do need to know that these, the protests have not stopped.
You know, the protests in the Netherlands, it continues to block roadways.
There is strife.
A lot of, and of course, I'm just looking at Twitter and news stories.
A lot of Dutch people are now like, well, you know, okay, we understand your, because they don't.
We understand your problem, farmer, but you know, can you stop now?
Because you're ruining my day.
And they don't really understand.
So it's farmers like this who are trying to explain to the Dutch people how bad this is.
Well, the farmer protests are already here since two and a half years.
The first of October 2019 was the first time Dutch farmers had a very big protest.
We all went to The Hague.
And actually that was more like some protest.
About the wind which was blowing already probably for 30 years.
See, I love this.
I love these old school sayings.
It was like the wind that was blowing for 30 years.
What does that mean?
It's something that... Is it boiling under the surface?
Yeah.
Oh, it's been boiling under the surface.
Yes, the wind has been blowing this way for 30 years.
Exactly.
By the way, as I listen to this guy and I think of the way you do this voice, I have a suggestion.
Okay.
And I noticed it, I just noticed it, but now that I think about it, I think all these guys do that, and this one thing you leave out, which is the long, ah!
Okay.
It's a moment when you're translating in your head, and instead of saying anything, you become like a kind of, it's similar to the Berkley Hummer, where you always have to be making noise.
And it's this long, while you're thinking, ah!
So there's always sound coming out.
Okay.
I'll bear that in mind for my next time I'm taking a piss out of him.
We all went to The Hague and actually there was more like some protest about the wind which was blowing already probably for 30 years that somewhere there's a problem in the environment.
There's a problem with pollution.
Agriculture sector gets pointed at as the main cause of all problems.
There you go.
After that, after the biggest protest, nitrogen problems came up.
And nitrogen problems aren't new.
30 years ago already, nature people started talking about nitrogen pollution, which would make the rain sour.
And all this sour rain would cause lots of damage to the nature parks, to forests.
And when you would hear these voices, all the nature would be gone in a few years.
Well, 30 years later, nature's still there.
Most of it is in excellent condition.
So just like every other climate change bullshit story, you know, this has been going on for 30 years.
Oh, by the time we hit 2022, you know, there's going to be nature will be destroyed.
And the farmer says, here you go.
And he's standing in front of his cows who all look pretty happy and tasty, actually.
For two and a half years people start talking about nitrogen emission, ammonia from the agriculture sector.
There's also nitrogen pollution because of the traffic, because of the industry, nitrogen oxides.
But we don't talk about it a lot.
When the nitrogen problem is called in Holland, it's focusing most of the times on the agriculture sector only.
Okay, so that's his background.
I would say that's a better background than you've seen anywhere on television.
Any M5M news report.
Well, from that perspective, for sure.
They're not going to tell you that.
So...
So, and this is a longer clip, but that's the only other one I have because, you know, the guy went on for 10 minutes, which, you know, well worth it.
In the show notes, you'll find a link.
So the industry came up with solutions years ago and wanted to propose and in fact propose those.
And none of those were good enough.
So he's going to tell a little bit about the industry solutions and then versus what the government was doing.
And he'll take it all the way, all the way home and explain what is really happening here, which we kind of know.
But it's good to hear it from a farmer himself, who obviously is not stupid.
When it started, the agriculture sector came together, all parties, like the dairy industry, pork industry, chicken industry, you could ever call whatever industries, came together, made a big plan, there was a lot of solutions in it, and we tried to solve the problem.
Our government, in the meanwhile, went on with making other plans, which resulted in The latest new plan, a few weeks ago, and it's terrible, it's idiot, and it's of no use.
I gotta remember that.
It's terrible, it's idiot, and it's of no use.
Exactly!
What they did is they divided Holland in different regions.
Some regions have to lower their emissions by 12%, some regions have to lower their emissions by 46%, 75%, or 95%.
In the meanwhile, our juridical system is... He said juridical, which means the legal system.
This on this moment that no innovations in agriculture sector are allowed to use.
So there are different techniques for lowering your emissions, but when you are...
Ask for a court and a judge will look into your innovations.
They will say you can't use it.
So the only reason, the only thing to lower your emissions right now is just cutting your herd back.
And actually you're probably coming at the main cause of it all.
Nitrogen is more like, we call it stick to beat the dog.
It's just to camouflage the real...
I don't think I've ever taught you this one.
Stick to beat the dog?
Stick to beat the dog!
It's a great one.
What's it refer to?
Well, it's a saying from the old country, of course, but what it means is nitrogen is just used as a stick to beat the dog.
So it's a camouflage.
Yes, the farmers are the dog and nitrogen is just the latest stick they're using to beat the dog.
Which kind of leads me to think about the Dutch might have been really cruel to dogs back in the day.
Yeah, probably.
A lot of people are cruel to dogs.
It's a real problem worldwide.
At the main cause of it all, nitrogen is more like, we call it, stick to beat the dog.
It's just to camouflage the real cause.
Some left-wing parties in Holland and probably all over the world, it's the same movement.
They want to get rid of animal industries.
They want to have a transition to more plant-based food.
Transition to vegetarians.
We have all the stuff together.
In Holland we also have a party like that and they ask for 50% reduction of our national earth.
That's probably on this moment the main cause of it all.
We're not talking about nitrogen.
No, they just want to reduce the national earth.
Well, every farmer all around the world and also every citizen knows That cutting back the herd isn't the cause of any problems.
You know, we are producing food.
Two-thirds of agricultural land on the planet can only be grown by grass.
And you need cows like this for making grass into meat or into milk or whatever you want.
Whatever problem with emissions, with pollution on the world you are asking about, whether it's not chemical, But farming is probably a part of the problem, but most of it all it's part of the solution.
Dutch farmers now are getting angry every day more.
Government is not listening.
And what we are fearing for is we have to leave our land.
And that's also a deeper agenda behind it.
In Holland they just want to have farmers land.
62% of the area in Holland is farmed by farmers.
And what they want to do is they want to have the land cheap.
So they're making it nature first.
And when they have the land in their hands they can build houses on it.
Houses we don't need by Dutch citizens.
Because average Dutch couple is getting 1.8, 1.9 kids.
So what's the problem of the Demand for houses that we get 100,000 refugees in this country every year.
That's why they have to build houses.
Well, that's a shortcut of our problems right now.
Farmers are getting angry.
They're not listened by by the government.
Every solution we came home with They don't take it.
And what we see right now, when we have to reduce our national herd, when we have to reduce our herds by ourselves, farms will break down.
On this moment, when the plan of the government is coming true, probably 30, 40, 50% of the farmers have to fear for their future.
That's why we're on the streets.
That's why we're protesting.
That's why the protestors are going harder.
And actually, quite happily, all around the world, people start looking at Holland, what's happening there.
Well, what the warning from the Dutch farmers is that every citizen from Holland especially, but also in Europe, probably around the globe, have to look at what do we want to have to eat in a few years' time.
Apologies for the length, but I feel this really kind of set it all up.
Now you know what's going on, why they're pissed off, and it's a worldwide problem.
Well, the joke's on him because nobody's paying attention to this over here anymore.
We got our few days of stories and that was it.
Well, it's not a joke.
Well, it's a joke on him.
Yeah, it's alright.
He thinks that people are paying attention and they've decided to quash this information.
I, you know, until you brought this up, I'm glad you did, even though it was lengthy, it was still amusing, because it brought to the attention of our producers that this is ongoing.
Yeah.
And I was thinking about this, you know, When I was driving up to North and most of them, once you get past El Sobrante, or actually around El Sobrante, almost all the way up to, you drive all the way to Sacramento, it's all fallow hillsides filled with grass that's gonna burn.
It burns and burns and burns constantly.
Yeah.
That used to have some cattle on it.
It did used to have a lot, but there were heads of cattle here and there and they'd be munching away on the grass and we didn't have as many fires.
Because you can't farm on this land.
I mean, you might be able to put a vineyard on there, you know, but it's just, it's like he said, most of the land is grassland.
Grass, yeah.
And there's tons of it.
And you can put in a bunch of animals on there and they'll eat that grass instead of letting it just burn.
And then turn it into milk and cheese and meat.
Yeah.
It's amazing.
Now, instead, now, instead of paying attention to that, we have spam being locked up in plastic cases in New York City.
Because people are stealing the spam?
Because, you know, that's good food.
And Scientific American reports eating too much protein makes pee a problem pollutant in the US.
Oh yeah!
You eating meat is peeing nitrogen, slave.
Oh yeah.
Anyway, there's a recipe going around for spam.
I saw it on the TV.
It's spam french fries.
You take the spam from the can.
You know, to be honest, I've never eaten spam in my life.
I don't know if it's good.
I don't think I have either.
But I would try this.
They cut the spam into strips and then you do the triple.
You flour it, egg wash, panko, deep fat fry.
You know, I'd give that a shot.
What is spam?
Spam is a whole hog ground up, it's a mixture of unedible meat from a pig.
It's the shit no one else wanted?
Is that it, basically?
Seasoned deliciously, I understand.
But the root of all of this is still the globalists who believe that climate change and all our problems are happening because we have too many people.
That's still the root of this.
Did you see Bill Maher?
Oh, I missed it.
Oh my goodness!
Did you go off the rails?
Yes, I've clipped it for you since... I'm glad you clipped it.
Let's go.
So this is one of his new rules.
I just took a piece of this long rant, so stop whenever you want.
Oh, you know me.
Here we go.
And finally, new rule, the recent report that informed us that... Sorry, before I start that.
He was on hiatus, so he was away for a month.
And I think he had a little talking to.
You know, kind of that chat that Mansion got in the basement when he had COVID.
That Boris Johnson had when he was in the hospital with COVID.
This is the kind of talking to that's best exemplified by the movie Network.
Yes, exactly.
When Ned Beatty brings in... Gets his talking to.
Ned Beatty does the talking.
Yeah, Ned Beatty does the talking to the host.
It's the way of the world!
Alright, so here's Bill Maher after a talking to back from hiatus.
And finally, New World, the recent report that informed us that in November of this year the population of the Earth will hit 8 billion is not good news.
And those who are regarded as such should be treated for TikTok brain.
The Secretary General of the United Nations of all people said that welcoming our 8 billionth person was an occasion to celebrate our diversity.
Yes, what a comfort that people of all races will be contributing to an already unsustainable carbon footprint and choking and starving equally.
Now listen to the crowd!
Oh yes!
Too many people!
We're all gonna die!
Yay!
Funny man!
Have you seen what is happening with the- Sorry, hey.
Earlier in that clip, when he says United Nations, it almost says United States.
Oh, let me hear that.
And those who are regarded as such should be treated for TikTok brain.
It was before that.
The Secretary General of the United Nations- Yeah, you're right.
That's right.
Secretary General of the United States.
States, that's exactly what he was thinking.
All right, move back to where we were.
Have you seen what has been happening with the climate in recent years?
Did you see England last week?
England is pretty far north, but the runways are melting.
Our farmland is shrinking due to scorching temperatures and drought.
One out of four people on earth is food insecure.
What we used to call hungry.
There's another one.
And billions face some form of water scarcity.
Water isn't the only thing we're running out of.
Clean air, quality soil, rainforests, wetlands, the precious metals that make our phones work.
We're even running out of sand.
Sand.
Which may not seem important, but without it you can't make concrete or glass.
Like for windows.
So you can look outside and see the world ending.
And clap, clap.
Thank you.
Nihilists!
All of this is not unrelated to there being ever more people on Earth who tend to use things.
Tracy Stone Manning is our director of the Bureau of Land Management, and she said, if there were fewer of us, we would have less impact.
We must consume less, and more importantly, we must breed fewer consuming humans.
Yes, I thought this was... Useless eaters!
Well, yeah, we can stop it here.
Exactly.
This is what he feels.
Humans.
Yes, I thought this was a dog.
And until...
Until very recently, it was.
But now there's a growing movement of people more worried about population decline.
Decline, that's what we should be celebrating.
But Elon Musk says... The biggest problem the world will face in 20 years is population collapse.
Oh come on, of all the excuses not to wear a condom.
So he went on for quite a while.
But this kind of begs the question, I mean, is this now just accepted all of a sudden?
That climate change and all the adverse weather events, which by the way, are more frequent and more severe than ever before in history, that that is because we have too many people.
That is, that's it!
I mean, that's basically what he's saying and he sounds all in on it to me.
Well, for a guy with this amount of money, he has that he can donate one million dollars to a campaign of Barack Obama.
Uh, this is pretty elitist.
Uh, this is like, I'm in, you know, I'm in the boat to shut the hatch.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's pretty obvious.
I don't know how far this is going.
Luckily, the only people, nobody is paying attention to this.
As you like to point out, because you like watching Water's World's Man on the Street.
Yes, I do.
I don't think anybody is paying as much attention to this as they'd like to believe.
Well, then only too many people.
If you went to a man on the street, how many people are there in the world and how much can the world sustain?
Or if you just fly over Arizona?
Yeah.
You know?
Oh, well, two things come to mind.
There's a lot of room, A, and B, there's a lot of sand, too.
I'd like to know where this sand thing comes from.
We're running out of sand.
That'll be the day.
No, you know what that is?
That's the erosion story, I think.
There's several islands that have erosion, but it turns out that the erosion is happening because sand is being sucked up offshore for sale.
And, you know, that's the black market in sand.
I mean, sand is being stolen from countries and, you know, they're going to tip over these islands.
Yeah, they'll flip right over.
They'll flip right over.
But I understand what you're saying, but, well, at least the people who listen to this podcast care, because this, this has got, I mean, yes, he went on for another three minutes discrediting exactly what you were saying.
And then there's these idiots who think that there's enough space.
Yes, space.
It's not like that.
Where are you going to get your water from?
Where are you going to get your, your, your, your.
You sound, you're just getting close.
I'm working on it.
You sound like him.
It's a kind of cadence.
Where are you going to get this from?
Where are you going to get that from?
Okay, get that from your MAGA crowd!
I'm working on it.
I'm feeling good about my Bill Maher.
Yeah, I'm actually... because you don't do impressions.
No, this is well known.
Except for the generalized Dutch voice.
Yes.
Well, speaking of extreme weather, should we just stick with climate change for a moment since it's kind of...
What's next, after the monkeypox blows over?
Uh, yeah.
You got any- I got a- I got a few climate stuff here, hold on.
It has been a most unusual week.
Wildfires threatening Yosemite, scorching heat baking the Pacific Northwest.
Baking!
B- Baking!
Did she say baking?
Baking!
Are you- You're in the Pacific Northwest, aren't you?
Well, not really.
I have a place in the Pacific Northwest and it's been hot for a week.
Are they baking?
I'm asking you, this is NBC, so I take them seriously.
Are they baking in the Pacific Northwest?
Let me give you a perspective, because Mimi's up there and she's stuck up there.
So, it's been raining and it's been freezing cold.
Coldest month in the history of the state, July, in Washington.
And now there's a heat wave, it just flipped the switch, and for about a week, and it's continuing until next Monday, I believe, it's been hot.
Today, I think, and what was yesterday's baking hot heat?
85.
It has been a most unusual week.
Wildfires threatening Yosemite, scorching heat baking the Pacific Northwest, biblical rains and floods in the nation's midsection.
Biblical rains, John?
You mean like Noah?
Like the Ark?
Yeah, we need an Ark.
What are you getting this?
Is this NBC?
This is NBC Nightly News.
NBC has gotten worse.
I think they've gotten better because this is hilarious.
All the hallmarks of climate change.
Ah, it's the hallmarks.
Oh, it's the hallmarks.
What is a hallmark?
Is it just a mark in the hallway?
Yeah, this is where people used to pee.
This is exactly the fingerprint, the signature that we would expect with global warming due to the increase in greenhouse gases from human activities.
But even climate scientists are surprised by the intensity.
Breaking these temperature records, for example, by so far several degrees goes beyond what we expected at this point.
The Earth has warmed almost two degrees since 1880, with most of the warming happening since 1975.
Warmer air can hold more moisture and so produce more rain.
Does climate change create an environment that makes rainfall more intense?
Climate change creates an environment that supercharges rainstorms.
And that means when conditions are right, we can get these catastrophic rain events several inches per hour.
This week, Kentucky endured deadly one-in-a-thousand-year rain and flood events.
One in a thousand.
I had not heard this either.
I never heard that.
One in a thousand.
Rain and flood events.
I'm going to lose everything I have, for sure, but it's better than losing my life.
Precipitation events are now more frequent and intense across the country, with the biggest increases in the Northeast and Midwest.
On Tuesday, St.
Louis got more than twice as much rain in a single day as it does in an average month of July.
Historic statistics in a mind-boggling week showing us the future is now.
The future is now!
So now they can predict the future.
Can I ask you something?
Yeah.
If it's once in a thousand years, that means it must have happened a thousand years ago.
Was there global warming then?
Well, you know, they might have had biblical rains.
Okay, there was biblical rains.
That's what happened.
Was there global warming then?
Was there global warming?
No.
In fact, I like the biblical.
I'll take it.
That's right.
It's an act of God, not of people.
Shut up.
I'd take that.
I'd take that any day.
But luckily we have solace.
Help is on the way, people.
This is good, good news, if we can get it all together.
Because we took that Joe Manchin rat bastard.
We took him.
He got his COVID.
Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
We took him down to the basement.
Good old Chuckie Schumer roughed him up.
Today, Senate Democrats are rallying behind a deal that would make the largest climate investment in U.S.
history, provide tax credits for buying electric vehicles, and lower health care premiums for millions of Americans.
It came after a sudden reversal from moderate Democratic Senator Joe Manchin, who just days ago upended talks over concerns about inflation.
But now, he's on board.
I just felt there was an opportunity here to really give us an energy policy with security that we need for our nation, but also driving down the prices, the high price of gasoline, driving down inflation was my number one goal.
Yeah, so what they really did here is they pretty much just renamed it the Inflation Reduction Act.
And it's like, oh, yeah, that's cute.
That's all they really did.
And this this boob thinks that by spending more money, you're going to reduce inflation.
OK, well, he actually got he got himself a deal, some sort of a free money to West Virginia, like a lot of.
Oh, no, he got he did great for the state.
But don't give me this bull crap.
Oh, yeah.
No, he's lying.
Yeah.
No, it's bull crap.
These guys are all liars.
Well, it seems now that he, unlike what you would hope, here's kind of a moderate guy.
It's weird that a Democrat is running a red state like West Virginia to begin with.
And he's like, hey, I'm not going to participate in this stuff that's going to hurt my state.
And so maybe this is a little bit of a moderate Democrat.
We could use that on all sides of our political discourse.
And it turns out, no, he's just a lying whore like the rest.
And what he did is he wants power.
He wants to be the guy who makes it happen.
It seems obvious from this statement that he makes.
It was my number one goal.
The bill includes $369 billion to fight climate change, $64 billion to lower premiums for Americans buying their own health insurance.
Medicare would be allowed to negotiate the price of prescription drugs.
Didn't Trump do this already?
Didn't we fix all that?
We were the most favored nation status.
Or was that all executive order that they turned back?
What happened?
I don't know.
This drug thing, they keep doing it.
It doesn't change a thing that I've seen, whether Trump did something or these guys are trying to do something.
It's bullcrap.
The pharma guys, they run the roost.
The bankers are the top guys, and they're intertwined with the military-industrial complex, and they're the front men for them.
And then the pharma guys are second.
They're like second banana.
Second banana.
Second banana.
Medicare would be allowed to negotiate the price of prescription drugs, passing along the savings to consumers.
And seniors would pay less for medication, with out-of-pocket expenses capped at $2,000.
It would be paid for by raising taxes on big corporations and the wealthy.
What kind of a deal is out-of-pocket expenses capped at $2,000?
It's almost what you get in jail.
You co-pay.
$2,000?
Holy mackerel!
Yeah.
Yeah, you won't pay.
Don't worry, you won't have to pay more than $2,000.
Well, notice who's reading it.
You know, a well-paid news model.
It's all fine.
$2,000.
And she's reading right through it.
She's plowing right through it instead of stopping and saying, what kind of a deal is this?
And seniors would pay less for medication, with out-of-pocket expenses capped at $2,000.
Seniors.
That's for the seniors.
Who knows what everybody else is going to have to pay.
Expenses cap to $2,000.
It would be paid for by raising taxes on big corporations and the wealthy.
If the bill passes, it would be a huge victory for President Biden.
They leave out the $129 billion for the IRS police.
$129 billion to go enforce taxation law.
What are the chances they're going to surround Wall Street?
And besiege them for the paperwork.
Or is this just going to result in more harassment of the middle class, basically?
Because, you know, we can send agents out into bars and restaurants and see how many people are eating and see if they're probably lying about their income.
Yeah, this is what they're going to do.
Yeah, going to stores.
Let me see.
I see more product here than is being rung up.
They also sit there with a counter and they check the tips.
Yep.
Oh, yeah.
Clickety-click.
They'll follow you home.
They'll look at your car.
They'll look at your social media.
There's going to be a lot of that.
Oh, so you're on vacation there, huh?
Hmm.
Let's just see if we think you can afford that.
And then the one thing that I think this, well, let me finish this report.
Who today insisted it would help fight inflation in a way Americans will feel.
But simply put, the bill will lower health care costs for millions of Americans and it will be the most important investment, not hyperbole, the most important investment.
Not hyperbole, which means it's hyperbole.
That we've ever made in our energy security.
So, what's left open there is the 50% corporate tax, which is not defined, of course, in any documents I've seen yet, but what that is, is part of the global, globalist corporation tax, which is pegged at 15%.
Would you agree?
Yeah, coincidence, I think not.
Coincidence, I think not.
And then, we have the carried interest loophole.
Which is a multi, like $50 billion annual boon for money people.
They don't have to pay taxes, or they pay capital gains taxes over the way they make money versus if you're just selling a product in your store.
You pay income tax.
But this will all be used for someone who we were wondering about.
And I think that she has now popped her head up.
And we were just saying, where is Sinema?
And there she is!
But to pass, the bill needs the support of all 50 Senate Democrats.
And tonight, Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona won't say if she's voting yes.
Do you back this deal?
Are you comfortable with the tax increases?
Excuse us, guys.
Excuse us, guys.
Have you spoken to the president about it?
But after more than a year of stalled negotiations, the leader of the House Progressives says they are on board.
I think we should get this done.
The American people deserve it.
We need to show them that we can deliver it.
Let's just get it done.
All right, so let's bring in Rachel Scott, as we always do.
And Rachel, for this to pass, they need every single Democrat in the Senate, of course, to vote yes.
Majority Leader Chuck Schumer telling Democrats, in so many words, to stay focused and to stay healthy.
Yes, David Schumer not only needs the support of all 50 Senate Democrats, but he also needs them to be physically present here on Capitol Hill in order to vote on that legislation.
As of now, Senators Joe Manchin and Dick Durbin are recovering from COVID-19.
That could complicate the timeline for Democrats who are looking to get this bill passed by the end of next week, David.
So Sinema, Sinema sees her moment.
Yeah, well, she should.
I'm surprised some other senator doesn't stick their head up and try to, you know, get some attention, but they haven't got the guts to do it.
They're afraid they're going to get voted out.
So, I don't know what the chances are of this passing at all.
It's going to pass.
You think?
Although one thing they're leaving out of all these reports is it still has to go to the secretary, the person who can decide whether they can do this on a majority vote.
It's still unclear.
It may need 60 votes.
Oh, that stipulation.
And they're not talking about it.
Why would that be?
Why would they need 60 votes?
Because you need 60 votes to pass anything in the Senate.
That's just the filibuster rule.
That's why they have the 60 vote minimum.
You can't just vote with simple majorities.
You can't do it unless there's exceptions made specifically for these things.
And there are some exceptions for certain kinds of bills that have already been built in.
And they're trying to analyze whether this bill would be one of those exceptions.
It doesn't look like it is necessarily.
Reconciliation bill or something like that?
Yeah, something like that.
I've been always discussing it so like it's a done deal.
Yeah.
Well I can't wait to see what those climate funds will be used for.
We have to line someone's pockets?
With that, I'd like to thank you for your courage saying the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the crazy sex parties in San Francisco.
Please welcome John C. Dvorak!
Well, in the morning industry, curls, all the mooney, shiz, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, shib, sh In the morning to you, trolls.
They're in the troll room at trollroom.io.
Nice to see y'all.
The trolls hang out in the troll room because that's the place to be on Thursdays and Sundays.
What else you gonna do at work?
Come on, man.
Hop in the troll room.
Troll around.
This is where everyone listens to the shows live 24-7.
We have noagendastream.com running.
And you'll find your troll room and the stream right there at trollroom.io or Use one of those funky, fresh, brand new podcast apps, Podverse and, uh, what is it?
Podverse, CurioCaster, a couple of them already use the live functionality, so the podcast app you use to list to the podcast will alert you, tell you, hey, they're going live, and you open it up right there in your app, and you've got the chat room, you've got the live stream, and you've got the trolls.
You can be a part of that.
Let me see how many trolls we have with us today.
Come on, trolls, scurry out of the way there.
23.03 for today.
That's pretty good.
We're averaging 22 on Sunday, so that's nice.
Nice jump.
Well, good to have you all here.
Of course, you can also follow us at noagendasocial.com.
It is a Mastodon server.
You can no longer join, although we're probably going to do a purge again pretty soon.
I think we have room for maybe 1,500 new accounts since people leave and some bot stuff.
I'll have to talk to To Aaron or about that, but I think we're ready to do another opening.
But in the meantime, you can get an account at any Mastodon server and follow John C. Dvorak at noagendasocial.com.
Follow me, Adam, at noagendasocial.com.
And once you follow us, you'll see that everything will start to flow in.
You can follow other people.
And those are not email addresses.
You're shouting into the wind, Dvorak.
People will never hear what you just said.
Of course, we want to thank the artists for episode 1472, and we chose a piece which was done by Corrector Record, who was just on fire.
We did have a dispute about this one, but this is the No Agenda TV Guide Season Finale poster.
Tune in to the show trial that Corrector Record brought.
Was this one of our few choices?
I'll tell you a couple of things.
One, you did not like this.
I didn't say you didn't hate it, but here's what your comment was.
I said, I like it because it's got, I liked it right away because it's got this TV guide looking thing with the Noah Genna logo in the background.
And your comment was, nobody knows what that means anymore.
That's not even, no, no, no, nobody knows what that means anymore.
And, you know, I would tend to kind of agree, but we have such a broad ranging audience.
But your argument was that the TV guide logo Yes.
Is so old and unused and unrecognizable that you're going to reject a piece?
So, a version of that is true.
I thought the TV Guide was probably not as widely known anymore.
I could be wrong.
But then also, when I went to...
I like the way you upplay it.
When I went to TVGuide.com, the traditional TV rounded corner screen logo is no more.
They don't even use the logo themselves anymore.
It's just a red square now.
Which is ludicrous, but okay.
Now the other piece that I liked that you rejected for some other reason was, it was Capitalist Agenda's Recession Motel, which I just thought was a good piece of art.
It was cute.
No, I know why I rejected that.
Yeah, you rejected it because you thought it was biased and political.
Because it had a donkey on the top.
Yeah.
And the Democrats didn't cause the recession.
That's factually untrue.
Neither did the Republicans.
The Federal Reserve caused the recession.
We have no agenda.
We just have this donkey up there, it's like we're making fun of it.
How often have we ever used the dumb elephant in art?
Never.
I think we have.
It's both at the same time?
Yes.
It was a nice piece.
There's nothing wrong with that.
But yeah, I took exception to that.
You're correct.
You took exception.
Exception.
The one I liked the most was the mask up down low.
The guy with the mask on his butt.
I mean, that's the one I wanted.
And you vetoed it.
Why?
What do you have against butts?
Yeah, because I thought it was mediocre art and then I noticed since then that it was, I think it may have been lifted from someplace else.
I think everyone's doing it now, yeah.
It may have been lifted or everyone's just doing it.
I'd seen it around.
Let's see, what other things were there?
It wasn't, it was really a poor showing.
Yeah, it wasn't a huge amount.
Maybe people are sick of listening to our critique.
No, you know what it is, I think the content of that particular show was not lending itself to some cool art.
Yeah, that can be true.
That can be true.
You can follow along with this art and this spectacular contest that artists hold amongst themselves.
It's a big part of our value for value proposition.
The work that our artists do that bring us fresh artwork for every single episode is not even taken into account in podcast surveys.
I was reading a survey recently talking about album art and what people find important in album art.
The only consideration is it should be art.
It's always the same art.
And it might have, people say, oh, it would be good to know which guest is on the show or some shit like that.
I guess kind of the way Rogan does it.
But to me, it's like, no, that's completely wrong.
This is, this is, it's like liner notes are back.
You know, remember you bought a song and then you had an album and you had the cover and the liner notes and this.
Yeah.
And cool photos and stuff.
That's what this is.
By the way, how many, how many Beatles albums have you seen with the exact same cover?
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
We are the Beatles of podcasting.
Take it.
Think about it.
Think about that.
Let that sink in.
Think about it.
Let that sink in.
Marinate in that, will ya?
So, artists are very important to us, near and dear, and we thank, uh, uh, it was, uh, let me make sure I got it right now, was it, uh, correct the record for bringing us the artwork for episode... Yeah, number two.
1472, and yes, he's on his way to, he's had hat tricks, so he can do it again.
And of course, you can also see these in the new podcast apps, newpodcastapps.com.
The artwork goes along in sync with what's going on in the show.
It's well worth it and easy to find sections when you're looking for it later on.
Thanks again.
Artists, we love you.
noagendaartgenerator.com.
And now we're happy.
Hold it.
No, I'm holding.
Episode 1252.
A donkey.
Standalone donkey.
Wearing a mask.
And having a set of the stars across it was the Chinese star with the four other stars.
Donkey.
Ah, but that's different.
That's saying the Communist Party and the Democrats are working together, whatever we were talking about on that show.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, I stand corrected.
I'm still looking.
Would you like a cookie?
I'm actually stunned by how seldom is the word I'm looking for.
Either the donkey or the elephant's been used.
That's the only one I can find.
Because we're inherently kind of non-political.
That's why we don't do that.
Well, we are non-political, but...
No, inherently.
I like saying inherently.
The artists are political.
The artists are a bunch of MAGA.
I mean, it's crazy.
The artists.
Let's thank our executive and associate executive producers for episode 14.
We're at 73 already?
I love this.
We kick it off with Jeremy Cleary from Chester Springs, Pennsylvania. 768?
And he adds one penny in there, so I don't know exactly why he's doing that, but I will grab it for the pot before he says anything.
Long-time listener, first-time caller here.
Thank you, John and Adam, for your tireless media deconstruction.
I started listening in 2015 during pizza delivery drives, and the show helped me maintain my sanity and regular-sized amygdala throughout college in shockingly liberal Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
Yeah.
Yeah, I hear you.
Still working on hitting more friends and acquaintances in the mouth.
This podcast is the only one I've ever listened to with regularity, especially I've loved the meetups.
Shout out to the local Philly 76 crew, and I'm all jitty for the August 6 Philly's game tailgate.
This amount brings me to knighthood.
At last, please dub me Sir Stonks Trader of the Philly Suburbs.
For the roundtable, I have no requests other than Tabasco sauce.
Thank you for your courage, jingle requests, trains good, planes bad, climate gate.
Oh, he, did he, he has, how long has he been living?
2015?
Oh, he's pretty good.
He knows a lot of this stuff.
Climategate, Hillary's at what point, what difference does it make and Hillary's swoop capped off with a regular plain old-fashioned karma.
We got that for you.
On the board, trains good, planes bad.
To the gate, to the gate, to the Climategate.
What difference at this point does it make?
That's what I'd like to know.
Oh, man.
She's still swooping.
Okay, episode 949.
Artist, comic strip blogger, did an elephant.
And what was the art?
It was an elephant.
Just an elephant looking at you.
And the episode title was Brosplosion.
Brosplosion.
Brosplosion.
I should go back and listen to that episode.
Brosplosion.
Nice.
Okay.
You're up.
I'm up.
Stop looking at art.
I'm not up.
Get back.
Chef Rob McHugh, our cook.
Cook, chef in New York and Greenlawn.
I came in 500 bucks.
We haven't heard from him for a while.
I posted some gosh awful recipe and I think he tried it and he hasn't talked to me since.
I cannot live another day not donating my business account.
Not donating my business account.
Okay.
I had extra $333.33.
I was driving on the Southern State Parkway in Long Island.
My exit, $33.
God, my birthday is August 1st.
Forty-nine trips.
Reverend L. J. Okay.
I think he's done there.
Now he's asking for some requests.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
He doesn't put...
Spaces between his words.
49 trips, uh, Reverend Al Jitty, biscuit birthday, and ants.
I love you, mean it, Chef Rob McHugh.
Okay, do we actually have... I don't know if we have a Jitty separately, let me see.
The GOP infighting is escalating.
Political says Democrats are outright jitties.
They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
They are jitty indeed, there's proof.
I got ants.
I got ants.
Uh, no, no, no.
You've got carmine.
Alright.
I got ants.
I'm not.
Karma.
All right.
Thank you, Chef.
Marion Roman. Roman from New York. New York, 433.
And she says, greeting comrades, well done, my preferred pronoun.
Please join me in celebrating my brother, my brother's Joe Weil, he, him, 43rd birthday today and his recent engagement to Viri, she, her.
No agenda keeps us connected and, no agenda keeps us connected and sane.
Please give him a biscuit for his birthday.
I love you, Joe.
They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
Well, okay.
If you're gonna do comrades, I guess you can do other pronouns.
Mel Hart, meanwhile, is born in Oregon.
No, Millennial Mel.
Millennial Mel.
Millennial Mel, that's right.
Yes.
38383838383.
Hi, Adam and John.
Do you know that Oregon was the 33rd state accepted into the Union?
I actually didn't know that.
I did not know that, no.
The donation was collected in my backyard barbecue meetup in Portland last night, so please credit Oregon Local 33, the sane Portlanders.
Big thanks to Liam, Scott, Charles, Stephanie, Terry, Tim, and Luke.
All Christian names, it appears.
I am so grateful to have you as my friends.
We challenge another meetup to match this donation.
Until then, I declare Portland as the number one city in the No Agenda universe for the summer of 2022.
Can someone dethrone us before the autumn equinox?
We hope so.
Love, Millennial Mel.
Oh, so we have a meetup competition going now?
Well, she started it.
I like it.
All right.
I mean, I'm sure that the state of Texas is probably thinking they can kick Oregon's ass, but okay.
Oh, yeah.
Anybody can kick Oregon's ass.
Ooh, fighting words.
Mark Stokesbury is in Centennial, Colorado, 337.31.
Let's see what this is about.
I donated for my brother, Sean Stokesbury, in the amount of 337.31, and would like to wish him a happy birthday.
He turns 47 today, July 31st.
He's on the list.
We found y'all when Adam was on the Tom Wood Show and has become our favorite podcast.
Please de-douche us.
You've been de-douched.
Keep on keepin' on from wack-ass Colorado.
Mark Stokesbury.
Thanks, Mark.
Steven Dean, Viscount of the Fox Valley and the Chicago suburbs in Oswego, Illinois, 333.33.
With this executive donation of 333.33, I'm requesting a double shot of karma.
One for a job I've interviewed for, and the other for keeper karma.
For some reason, every time I ask for smoking hot girlfriend karma, it wears off after six months.
I need keeper as opposed to girlfriend.
It's past time for that.
Steven Dean, Viscount of the Fox Valley, and Chicago suburbs.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
There's your double.
Sir Kyle Barnett, do you happen to have this note on hand?
Yeah, sure, and I can read it right here because it's an extra piece of paper.
Good.
He says, uh, ITM, I bought a DVD copy of Wag the Dog online.
It was 33% off.
Coincidence?
I think not.
This donation makes me a baron.
Please name me Baron Grape Drink.
I don't know if he's on the list for upgrades.
Let me take a look.
Baron Grape Drink.
I request the protectorate of the Wisconsin Ledge A.V.A.
There's an A.V.A.
in Wisconsin, are you kidding me?
What's A.V.A.?
That's a vineyard.
A.V.A.
stands for, it's an appellation.
Except for any parts currently controlled by others.
Hail Apple!
Sir Kyle.
Good one, Kyle.
And the Hail Apple is written very large.
We used to say that a lot, Hail Apple.
What happened to that?
Hail Apple!
Come and goes.
Since you have the papers there, Sir Alexander Blackknight of Middle Cascadia and Duval Washington 30182, what's his note?
Oh, uh... Oh, I'm sorry, no, he missed Clayton Moses.
Clayton Moses in Anchorage.
Yeah.
I don't have anything from Clayton.
No, I just... Oh, actually, there is something from Clayton.
Uh, jeez, I'll have to look it up.
I'll read... Don't worry, we'll get back to Clayton.
Okay.
Uh, it was something screwy.
It was came... Oh, wait a minute.
It says... I think I printed it out.
It says jingles.
Uh... That's... No, that's... And Erica says that was literally the entire note.
Jingles.
Oh, no, I have the note.
The note... Okay.
You might as well do it.
No, I got it right here, and I'm going to tell you the problem.
Okay, here comes the problem.
He sent the note in via, and it's only a fluke that I caught it.
He sent it in via the Noah Gender Social.
Okay.
So it was a note that came in on Noah's Gender Social, and it's got a happy birthday on it, so you're going to have to write that in.
At John C. DeVore.
Hey, send in a donation to 333.
My name is I donated.
This is what it says.
My name is I donated under Clinton Moses through PayPal.
Here is my note.
Quote, a happy birthday to Sir Lane, protectorate of the near point.
Please add to birthday list for July 31st.
OK.
Done.
No, you did it?
I just put it on, yeah.
Oh, good.
Okay, so that's the reason this came up this way.
But what about the jingles?
And he has no jingles.
He has no jingles?
No, there's no jingles.
Well, that's it.
What a jip!
So, sir, I don't know.
It's okay.
Sir Alexander Blackknight of Middle Cascadia is next 30182 from Duval, Washington.
And he wrote in a notice on paper.
Uh, here's a 10182 in honor of the two finest airborne divisions ever fielded, the Screaming Eagles and the All-Americans.
Hell yeah.
So that's two times that.
I was enjoying some, well actually it's 30182.
Oh, I see.
I was enjoying some older episodes.
So here's an additional $100 because Sir Chris Wilson is simply a mad genius.
Yes, he is.
And lastly, here's a hundred bucks to keep your racket going.
Racket?
R2-D2 health karma for all, if time allows, of course.
Yeah, time always allows.
Keep up the good work, Sir Alexander Blackknight of Middle Cascadia.
All right, brother, thank you.
Here we go.
You've got karma.
And then we have Brian the Preacher, our first associate executive producer from Pflugerville, home of the Schlitterbahn in Texas.
222.26.
Good day, gentlemen.
Jingles, don't trust China.
Goat scream, stop raffing.
I'll keep it short.
No, you didn't.
I've been listening for a long time.
I couldn't even see it.
I've been listening for a long time, well certainly before episode 1300, and decided I just needed to stop being a douchebag and donate.
Yes, please de-douche me!
You've been de-douched.
I'm sending a row of ducks with one underwater.
Oh, that's what the 26 is for.
Because I'm a dude named Ben dealing with customer network operations issues.
I'm basically drowning, but loving the work.
Okay, that is the hallmark of a true dude named Ben.
Drowning but loving the work.
I'd like to call out Greg Abbott.
No, not the governor of Texas, although he is a douchebag as well.
The other guy, he's my buddy.
He's a douchebag!
Still, if you can give the governor of this great state a douchebag call-out, that'd be awesome!
I also need to thank Sir Self-Proclaimed Future JCD.
He's my crazy English, uh, conigette?
English conigette up in Montana who hit me in the mouth a couple years ago.
No idea what that means.
That stinking ring really hurts, by the way.
Ah, it does happen.
Anyways, I decided I needed to donate when my last beer tab was $33, and my last interaction with the Texas DPS, Department of Roads, Department of Speed Traps, was because I was 33 miles over the speed limit.
I'd send more money, but, you know, the ticket hit my donation budget.
Well, stop speeding!
Thanks for all you do, men.
One day I'm hoping to meet Ad Dumb.
Oh man, that's salty.
What is this?
His keeper and their wonderful dog in person.
Of course, JCD, I'm old enough to remember your PC Magazine days and well if you're around I'll buy you a beer or a glass of wine if it isn't premium too.
Praying for both of you, your families and your work.
May the Lord bless you and keep you all.
Praying for your continued success.
The future, sir, preacher of the Texas Republic.
Thanks for all you do.
Brian, the preacher from Pflugerville, Texas.
Donald Trump don't trust China!
China is asshole!
Don't laugh!
Why you are laughing?
Shut up!
You've got... Shut up!
...karma.
Stephan Prokop.
Prokop?
Prokop?
I'm not sure.
He's in Vienna, Austria.
222.22.
We love the Austrians.
We do.
A little value for the immense value you provide me for my birthday on the 31st of July.
...me with for my birthday.
Okay.
Uh, thanks for the great work.
An institution like No Agenda Show is really missing in the German-speaking world.
Aw, it's missing everywhere.
Hello, Deutschland!
Yeah.
Except here, goat and yak, Karma, please.
Goat and yak?
Oh, okay.
Well, let's see how we do that.
Uh, I guess we could do that.
You've got... Karma.
You've got...
Do you have Sir Mark's note handy by any chance?
Yes, actually.
Sir Mark Jeremy Dyson, Duke of Japan and Disputed Islands, 222.22.
He has a little thing we have to, we should do.
Yes.
He said, A note to wish Dame Astrid a safe trip back to Italy today.
She has to travel back for a sad farewell.
No.
One era ends, but new ones have already started.
Stay strong.
We'll be thinking of you.
Uniting everyone on the lake.
Love and lit, Sir Mark.
And I'm going to send her some yak karma for the trip.
You've got karma.
Dayton, Ohio is where Big Sweetie sends in a row of ducks.
222.22.
In the morning, John and Adam, first-time donor here.
I've been waiting to donate since I first got into the show a few months ago.
The reason for my donation is to celebrate my dad, a.k.a.
Sir Egghead, Knight of the Long Shadows of Trash Mountain's birthday, which is on July 31st, which is a show day.
July 31st birthdays.
It's crazy.
It's a lot more than you'd expect.
Anyway, I don't want to make this note too long or else I'll end up on John's watch list.
Jingles I would like are massive dumps, I love bugs, a noodle gun, and a mac and cheese.
Well, I think we can do all of that.
Please read on the August... No, wait.
Sorry, there we go.
Happy birthday, Dad, from Big Sweetie, Little Islam, and PJ.
That sounds like a cool family to me!
They did dumps.
They call them dumps.
Big massive dumps.
Hold on, I'm sorry.
That's not the one you want.
I'll have to do that over again.
That would really suck if it was my birthday.
I'd hate it.
Here we go.
They did dumps.
They call them dumps.
Big massive dumps.
I love bugs!
Bugs!
He's like, boo.
Mac and cheese.
Sorry.
Long COVID.
Long COVID.
Jocelyn Cardenas.
I got my pasta Glock locked and loaded.
Living the mac and cheese life.
Mac and cheese.
Sorry, long COVID.
Long COVID.
Jocelyn Cardenas in Warner, New Hampshire, 220.
Probably pronounce it Cardenas there.
Just wanted to de- She says, please read on the August 1st show.
Yeah, we'll do it.
That's tomorrow.
Hi, just wanted to de-douche my dad.
You've been de-douched.
Joseph Heer of Warner, New Hampshire.
He has been listening consistently for eight years.
And in appearance, she's got major douche.
Oh, wow.
Happy 53rd birthday on August 1st.
Love you so much, Papa.
Jocelyn.
Jackson Moore with 202.02.
Nice palindrome, but I do not have a note.
I presume you don't have one either?
No, I got nothing.
Okay, so in that case, no note.
You get yourself a double karma.
You've got...
Double up!
Pharma.
Now we've got TG of the Side Eye, $202.
And he says, no jingles.
Dutch jobs karma for my son, please.
And house renting karma for me.
Thanks!
TJ of the Side Eye.
Uh, I can do it live if he wants that kind of karma.
Dutch jobs karma?
Or does he want it just... Bana!
Bana!
You've got karma.
Let me give him a proper jobs card just in case.
Jobs, jobs and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs.
You've got karma.
Wouldn't want to screw up his karma.
Paul St.
Laurent is in Renton, Washington.
$200, emergency house selling karma, jobs karma, three-way if possible, please.
Huh?
Trying to get the hell out of Washington State and the market has gone off a cliff.
Thank you for your courage.
It's all in one.
Here it comes.
You've got karma.
Is that so?
Is the Washington State market, has it gone off a cliff?
What does that mean?
Well, maybe where he is.
It depends.
It's spotty.
It's the same thing all over the country.
Does that mean it's crashing or it's out of control?
Which one is it?
Well... We don't know.
Crashing is, you know, if it goes down 10 percent... That's not a crash.
That's crashing by most people's standards when it comes to real estate.
So it's probably down a little bit.
And it depends on where he is.
If he's in Seattle, it shouldn't be changing that much.
And I don't think he is.
So that's our group of producers, associate executive and executive producers for show 1473.
And we want to thank each and every one of them.
They're the ones who really make the show sing, at least in the first half.
And then we have the rest of our people coming in later.
And if you're wondering what these odd amounts are about, that's because we don't force anyone into telling you how much you have to subscribe to us for, or you can't listen unless you pay some money.
No.
We consider this to be a very valuable service.
That's why we provide it openly, freely for all to use.
That includes our show notes.
That includes all the clips that we provide.
Anybody can... We have search engines.
We have so much.
So much happening and that has all been provided from producers as well.
Our hosting, our No Agenda meetups, the noagendasocial.com, the art generator, it just goes on and on and on.
And that's why we're still here after almost 15 years and still hanging in there.
And the only thing you have to do if you want to provide some value back is just tell us how much it was worth to you.
That is something only you can determine.
If you'd like to learn more, we have a website, you can sing along.
Thank you again for producing episode 1473!
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Order!
Order!
Shut up, slave!
Order Shut up, Slay Shut up, Slay Great Yes, alright Alright, let me see I think we should do a quick little update on
On bad things with the vaccine, just so we stay up to speed because this is not going away.
The evidence is just too big.
There seems to be issues with vaccinated people are getting sick.
Let's make sure we start from the beginning with Biden COVID again.
President Biden says in a tweet he is again positive for COVID, though he's experiencing no symptoms.
As NPR's Tamara Keith reports, Biden's physician says that after several days of tasting negative, he tested positive this morning.
Dr. Kevin O'Connor had been on the lookout for what's known as a rebound infection.
When Biden first came down with COVID, he started on a five-day course of the antiviral treatment Paxlovid.
It reduces symptoms and can speed recovery, but what's thought to be a small share of patients experience rebound infections, as has happened with Biden.
Seems like every patient has experienced that.
That's what it seems like to me.
That's why they were discussing making you take it for 10 days.
One of our producers, his wife is a nurse and provides Paxlovid as outpatient treatment, which of course it should be.
And I said, how's it going?
Bad.
Maybe 40% works for some, you know, 40% of the people that take it, it has some effect.
That's not a great ratio for the miracle drug.
The Pfizer pill is here!
Remember that?
The Pfizer pill!
It's gonna change the game!
Yeah, it was a big deal.
Wow, do we have a game changer?
Oh yeah, the Pfizer pill.
Game changer, yeah.
Let me see if the Pfizer... Do we have a Pfizer pill?
What is this?
Oh yeah, here's a clip, a short clip from NTD, one of yours, I think.
Here's an update on that COVID-19 antiviral pill by Merck.
The FDA panel has endorsed the antiviral drug, but the vote was a narrow one, 13 to 10.
Ultimately, the panel found that the benefits outweigh its risks, which include potential birth defects if used during pregnancy.
Now, the vote was just a recommendation.
The FDA is expecting... I think this was after Pfizer already got their go-ahead?
Here it is.
Following Pfizer's...
No, no, it isn't.
Paxlivid is a Pfizer pill, it's not a Merck pill.
No, I know, but I think Merck tried to put a pill through and then they got quashed by corruption at the FDA.
Yeah, by Pfizer, exactly.
Here's the Pfizer.
Here, listen to this.
Following Pfizer's worldwide rollout of its COVID vaccine, this morning another potential breakthrough in the fight against the pandemic.
Pfizer saying early trial results of its antiviral COVID pill show it reduced the risk of hospitalization or death by 89%.
More than 1,200 people included in the study were considered high risk and started taking the pills within three days of developing COVID symptoms.
The drug now on track for potential authorization in early 2022, not far behind another COVID pill developed by Merck.
Right.
You're right.
What happened to the Merck pill?
It went nowhere.
Of course not.
It had the wrong name on it.
All right.
Biden COVID again too?
That's an optional.
It's not that good.
Onward with your eclipse.
Yes.
This is cropping up everywhere.
We had to go to north of the border to get an example of it in Alberta, Canada.
Unknown Causes was the leading cause of death in Alberta last year.
That category leads the way over dementia, which has been in the top spot since 2016, and COVID-19, which began adding to the province's death tally in a big way in 2020.
I think it's probably multifactorial, so there's probably many things playing to that.
The number of deaths with unknown causes... Coincidentally!
Right?
...has gone up over the last... Out of the blue.
Just happens.
...three years, starting in the 500s in 2019, rising to over 1,400 in 2020, and doubling to more than 3,300 in 2021.
Before that, the category didn't even rank.
Dr. Daniel Gregson believes lack of resources, delayed access to healthcare services, Gregson points to a larger study out of the U.S.
have contributed to the increase.
We have this impression of, you know, surviving COVID and that's the end of it.
And that's not necessarily true.
Gregson points to a larger study out of the U.S. that found people who had COVID-19 are at a higher risk of heart disease, stroke, pulmonary embolisms and death compared to those who haven't been infected.
The risk is even higher for those who end up in hospital or in the ICU with COVID.
One would expect that some of those patients are going to survive the COVID and then die at home from other complications.
I mean, I can't listen to these reports.
At no point do they say, hmm, could it be anything, anything with the vaccine?
At no point will you hear that.
It's unbelievable to me.
No, it's a disservice, and it's criminal, and we know that they lied.
If you read, like, we don't get too many newscasts except for that woman, but if you read, like, just the newspapers in India, they have no qualms about suggesting that she's causing these problems.
No qualms!
Well, because their information is different.
Yeah, because their information is not bought and paid for by the pharmaceutical industry like it is here.
Correct.
And here is the king, Peter McCullough, and he is highlighting another huge issue with the vaccines.
McCullough, infallible credentials, people.
We know that loaded on lipid nanoparticles, this dangerous genetic code and spike protein go everywhere in the body.
You know, all the autopsy studies have shown it's in the brain, it's in the heart, it's in the bone marrow, it's in the reproductive organs.
There's a range of sperm count and motility.
Those men who are at the lower range, clearly with vaccination, they're going to be brought into the infertile range.
And it take months and months and months to recover.
So just by the time they recover, they take a mandated booster, they go back into the infertile range.
I can tell you as a medical doctor, every man should be concerned.
Now importantly, Female ovaries have a set number of eggs from birth.
So as the genetic code is installed into ovarian cells and the spike protein is produced in the ovary, not only is it triggering irregularities and menses, but almost certainly is causing death and destruction of those precious So, that would be very helpful to have a booster every six months to render the population infertile.
And so on a more probable than not basis, one would conclude with serial injections every six months, women could be rendered infertile.
So that would be very helpful to have a booster every six months to render the population infertile.
Yeah.
I mean, besides that, these variants that are created, I mean, Tina and I had COVID in February and you'd think we have some kind of immunity, but no.
Because our variant came from a vaccinated person, I guess, or it propagates that way.
Maybe it's... Yeah, wasn't a woman in Utah where she went to visit, was she double-vaxxed and double-boosted?
And by the way, she feels horrible about it.
She feels very... Well, I'm sure she should, but... I mean, she can do about it.
It's a system.
I know, but she feels really bad.
It's systemic.
And keeps apologizing, whereas I'm like, I'm just going to give it to everybody.
You should have said, if you want to shut her up, you should have never gotten the vaccine in the first place.
Oh, that's such a nice thing to say.
No.
How were your friends?
Do your friends call you ever again?
I have no friends.
You have no friends?
No, I didn't think so.
I used to have friends.
But if so, what we're going... Before this show, we had friends, okay?
We had a social life.
This show came along.
No friends.
No friends.
Now, but this is, besides the fertility issue, Is this boosting just going to create a new variant that I can get every six months as well?
Is that where they're going with this?
I have no idea where this is going to head, but like I said, if they just stop giving people shots, it might go away.
No, I'm in full agreement with you on that, even though you're not a doctor.
You're hardly a doctor.
No.
But still, it's like, come on.
But the media, it just presses ahead.
Everything is as obvious as the nose on your face, that this is not working, it's bullcrap, and they just keep pushing, pushing, pushing.
Yeah.
It's not working.
No, it's not.
No shame.
No shame.
Well, the money keeps coming in.
That's what the, you know, you get no shame if you get a new car every two years, new Mercedes, new Benz.
I mean, do you think Jake Tapper sits there and that he really doesn't feel like an incredible heel to talk about, you know, men who have sex with men instead of gay?
Do you think that all these stupid things, these people, is there anyone who has a brain there and a conscience?
No.
How does that happen?
They're unaware.
I think they're just, they've been so, you know, out of it.
And it's the milieu, the milieu itself dictates these things.
And at some point someone decided that gay men, well, we can't say gay.
So let's say men having sex with men.
How's that?
Oh, yeah.
But that's a talking point that came from somewhere.
Yeah, it did, but it had a genesis, and everybody picked up on it because they thought it was a good idea.
They weren't thinking, oh, well, that's sneaky.
I think these people are mostly sincere.
Pathetic.
Well, that's the milieu.
Milieus are very powerful.
Yes.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm going to lead you into your segment.
Which I think is important.
Ah, yes, my famous segment, which is going to be around as long as they keep coming.
Yes.
Let's go to TikTok.
Wait, wait.
I'm going to lead you into it, which means I'm going to lead you into it.
Oh, OK.
I have to be led.
You need to be led.
It's the second time this show you haven't gotten my cue.
So I'm going to lead into it with a clip that starts off from TikTok.
Because you're the TikTok guy now, which was a very good explanation of the use of pronouns and what the whole pronoun gambit is about.
And we inherently know this, but wait until you hear this.
When someone has trauma, they feel very powerless.
And what the transgender movement has done is they've created people who feel very powerful by saying someone is a transphobe by not calling me by my pronoun.
It's giving a young person who still needs guidance and still needs parents power over every adult in their life, which actually creates more chaos and more floundering inside of them.
It's doing them a disservice.
And to me, that is exactly the intent of it.
It has nothing to do with anyone's feelings or any bullcrap like that.
It is a control mechanism that is screwing up parents, mainly, and other unsuspecting adults.
Which is most of them.
Yeah!
Well, let's go to some TikToks, then.
And let's start with the, uh... This was a lax mom.
This is a lax mom.
What is a lax mom?
Lax.
You know what lax is?
Oh, this guy.
He's, like, lazy.
You know, lax.
Laid back, yeah?
Oh, yeah.
Laid back to an extreme.
She's wearing polka dot glasses.
Let's start with that.
She's got a nose ring.
And she's lax, and she's got a three-year-old who just decided that the three-year-old just decided He's a girl, so it's a she now, so it gets a little confusing because of the pronoun idiocy.
But listen to, this is a mom that if this was your mom, you'd be in big trouble.
Look, another helpful question.
Kids have to go to the pediatrician a certain number of times for the first few years of their life.
It's to make sure they get fully vaccinated, are growing on time, development is as it needs to be, yada, yada, yada.
At the three-year checkup, they ask a question to see if the children know the difference.
So the pediatrician looked at Bug, and she said, are you a boy or a girl?
Bug looked her in the eye and said, I'm a girl.
The doctor kind of looked at me, I was like, alright, never heard about it before, but whatever.
And ever since that day, she has told us that she's a girl.
A little under a year ago, she started correcting us on her pronouns.
I'm not a him!
I'm a her!
Don't call me he!
Mommy, I'm not he, I'm she!
It has been two and a half years now that she has been out.
I told her father when I figured she was getting close to telling him herself.
Didn't want him to respond poorly.
Whoa!
The five-year-old trans kid has to come out to her dad herself.
What in the world?
Uh, and the kid's name is Bug.
That was odd.
What are we gonna name our kid, honey?
I think Bug would be a good name for a kid.
No, that's probably just a nickname.
Whatever.
So here we go.
Let's go to a Minnesota principal.
This is a woman who is an administrator in a school.
This is where you know the schools are in bad shape because she is totally oblivious to any of this.
She thinks it's fabulous.
And so here she is describing, describing how she is reading and thinks it's a really important book to read for this.
By the way, kindergartner book, first graders book, Jack, not Jackie.
I've been doing some reading this summer and so I thought I would share a couple of books because you have a little bit of time left to do some reading.
I also read Jack Not Jackie by Erica Silverman.
Phenomenal read.
So if you're a K-1, 2, 3 even, it's a really good read called Jack Not Jackie.
And I really enjoyed that and I'm excited it'll be on our shelves in the Media Center this fall.
Phenomenal read!
It's a phenomenal read.
Phenomenal read.
Have you read Jack Not Jackie?
No, I have not, but I'm tempted to get a copy.
Yeah.
For prosperity.
So now we go back to our non-binary queer teachers.
And there seems to be endless numbers of them.
And this is the non-binary queer teacher, and her name is Mix.
And she wants to make sure you call her that for sure, especially if you're a student.
I'm a non-binary elementary school teacher, so here's how I talk to my students about pronouns and such.
Hi, my name is Mix K. It's Mix.
So kind of like cookie mix, or mixing bowl, that sort of thing.
That's how it's pronounced.
That is my name.
That is the name that I'm comfortable with.
It is the name that makes me happy, and I would like it if you referred to me as such.
See, I'm not a mister or a miss, so I go by Mix, because that's what makes me happy.
Now, you have a name that you like to be called, other than the name that's on the paper, right?
It's the same thing for me.
I have a name that I prefer to be called, and that's the one that you're going to use for me, okay?
Now, I don't consider myself to be a boy or a girl.
I just see myself as a person.
So that's why I go by Mix.
So I'm actually non-binary.
I'm not really comfortable with feminine terms being used for me.
If you can find some alternatives, that would be great.
My pronouns are they, them, and she, her.
Thank you so much for asking.
What are yours?
Talking about gender is not something that's out of the realm for children.
Honestly, the most understanding people when it comes to my identity have been the students that I work with.
So it's important to be yourself because being openly you is probably the most important thing you can do for the kids of this generation.
I'm going to have to ban TikTok videos with piano music that's drowning out the actual voice.
I know, it was bad.
It was an exception.
But I also, I had a thought, something struck me.
Yeah.
Are these, this just reminds me of the coddling of the Yahoo employees, turn of the century, 2000, where they had slides and plushy things and sleeping pods and all of Silicon Valley eventually went to where they had slides and plushy things and sleeping pods and
Is this somehow like what parents want their kids to be accustomed to, that everything feels good and warm and fuzzy and it's always a great environment and there's no, no, just it's all good and oozy and let's be friendly and use just it's all good and oozy and let's be friendly and use all cool names for Is this all part of the same thing?
God, I hope not.
It sure feels like it.
Well, something's amiss.
That's all I can say.
When you have these teachers, And there's not just one or two of them, although when you listen to them talk about their cohorts, it's like there's maybe 20 teachers in some environment and two of them are non-binary queer.
And then three or four of the rest of them are kind of helpers or assistants.
There's one woman, there's a word she used to describe them, but they were cooperative.
What's it in that phrase where you're an ally?
They're allies or something like that.
So you have 20 teachers, there's two of these queers, three allies, and then that leaves with 15 other teachers, but they're cowed.
The other ones are intimidated by these few because they have arguments that nobody's ever dealt with before.
It's hard to deal with.
I mean, we're having trouble ourselves.
And nobody, like you said, nobody's communicating with us.
So we don't have any outside... We have zero input.
Except a few pissed off parents every once in a while, right in.
I'm taking my kid out of school.
I'm gonna sell him.
He's out of homeschool.
Right.
That's pretty much how it is.
It's great.
I mean, it's fantastic if you can feel like doing that, but it doesn't help us in our analysis.
That's for sure.
So yeah, something is going on.
I have a couple other ones here I can play.
One's kind of disgusting.
Both of them are disgusting, but one is kind of disgusting.
This is a, this is a girl.
Oh, this is the drinks girl?
Yeah, the drinks girl has seen this.
Yeah, I've seen this.
She's talking about if you're in a, see a MAGA person, spit in their drink.
This is, this is the kind of pleasant democratic, I consider this just like the democratic norm, this Chuck Schumer mentality.
And she's like, visually, she's like kind of, No makeup, but she's wearing these weird plastic glasses that are a kind of an iodine color, red, translucent red.
They're very strange looking.
All these women wear funny glasses.
Warby Parker.
But listen to what she has to say.
Normalized spitting in the drinks of Trump supporters.
Are you at a bar or brewery or restaurant in which you did not expect to see a Trump supporter?
Because their website and decor otherwise declared that they are LGBTQIA plus friendly?
Maybe they've got a pride flag.
Maybe they've got a DLM flag in their window.
But you still, for some reason, see an ungodly Trump supporter and, heaven forbid, they're also wearing Trump merchandise?
Well, take an unfinished drink from the table, spit in it, bring it over to them and tell them that you bought them one.
And then pray to whatever glorious creature gets you out of bed in the morning that they take a sip of it and suffer for the rest of the day.
Thank you.
Goodbye.
Yeah, so this is the weaponized queers.
There it is.
That's the whole point.
Get them to this point where they're just completely under your control and they respond to pronouns and all of this and then weaponize them and make them spit in drinks.
You could say this is violence.
This is a call to violence.
I think it's violence.
It's very violent.
Welcoming.
How does it account for equity, diversity?
Oh, the, you know, let's all be one.
This whole thing is out the window when you're spitting in drinks because somebody's got some Trump merchandise on them or whatever.
I mean, you can identify any, but you can identify.
You just don't like the looks of me spitting their drink.
This is not civilized.
No, no.
It's not?
Yeah, she's okay with it.
Alright, let's get back to reality because these people clearly don't live in it.
Let's look at the reality of inflation and the energy, the self-inflicted energy crisis.
Completely self-inflicted here in the United States as well as certainly Europe has inflected a huge pain upon themselves and the leaders who are Using this to shepherd in their zero-carbon economy.
Do not care what's going to happen to the people.
And if we look at the United Kingdom, where people are much closer to poverty than the accent lets you believe, here is an ITV report about the gas cap.
Now, there's a cap in the United Kingdom where your home or the amount of money that gas companies can charge for natural gas, I'm not talking about car gas, natural gas, is capped, and that's about to change.
The impact of the spike in gas prices is going to be absolutely devastating.
The latest prediction for the price cap is it will go up 77% on the 1st of October, taking someone with typical usage from the current £1,971 a year, which was already up over 50%, to £3,500 which was already up over 50%, to £3,500 a year.
And then in January, it'll go up again.
Now, Now that £1,500 a year spike is simply unaffordable for millions of homes and is likely to put around 10 million people or more into fuel poverty.
The impact of it is frankly catastrophic and intervention is needed and needed now.
Then it's not going to come.
There will be no intervention.
We have to go through the pain together, people.
Start burning coal again.
People are going to start burning anything they can get their hands on.
Sri Lanka melted down.
That was inflation and all based on the same climate change strategies.
But NPR is quite happy to report there is a silver lining, John!
That they, you know, people can't buy gas.
You had to have a pass, a gas pass, to be allowed to buy gas for your car.
What do you think the silver lining is of all this collapse in Sri Lanka?
According to NPR, our national treasure.
Less people.
Close.
Environmentalists say there is a silver lining to Sri Lanka's fuel rationing amid soaring energy costs and inflation.
People are swapping their cars for bicycles.
And Piers Lauren Frayer has more from Sri Lanka's capital, Colombo.
Hey, this is good news!
We have bikes!
While cars wait in line for rationed fuel, Mayor Rosy Senanayake announced the construction of new bike paths across Colombo.
For all the Sri Lankans who now find it faster and cheaper to cycle instead.
This is kind of a hidden blessing.
Dr. Acela Abedira is a cycling activist who's long preached the health benefits.
I'm obviously not happy to see the economic crisis and transport breakdown, but I'm happy that people have started cycling.
There's no official data on just how many bikes have replaced cars here in recent weeks, but bike mechanics say their business is booming during this country's worst ever economic crisis.
Lauren Fryer, NPR News, Colombo, Sri Lanka.
Do you see what's happening?
They're already celebrating the climate change implementation.
They're already moving, oh, look at the people on bikes.
They're biking, they're happy.
It seems great, there's a silver lining.
I mean, they're already creating the fluff human interest pieces of how successful this has been.
Well, do they even have a government left?
Is there anyone left in Parliament?
No, doesn't look like it.
People still doing backflips into the Prime Minister's pool, the President's pool?
It's hard to say.
Everything I've seen is still packed with people.
Now another issue, the one we have in the United States, is the homelessness.
Close to my heart because I lived in shithole Austin while they let that run rampant.
And a reminder, the reason why this political move is being made by governors and mayors is under the guise that moving someone's tent is considered cruel and unusual punishment, therefore a constitutional violation.
This was what started years ago in Boise, Idaho.
We tracked it since then, and ever since that became accepted amongst governors and predominantly liberal mayors, they have not been moving people in tents.
So one of the top places for this is Oregon.
And Downtown Oregon?
I mean, there is a lot, a lot of homelessness, a lot of camping, a lot of drug abuse.
And now it's moving into the suburbs.
And boo-hoo!
I'm living in a nightmare neighborhood.
It's really scary.
For years, these neighbors have been watching the city's homeless crisis spread across parts of southeast Portland.
Now, it's right outside their front door.
I want to cry.
I just want my house back.
Christina Hartnett lives on 80th and Powell, where a majority of the campers stay.
My lawn is now becoming a public bathroom.
She fears leaving her house just to go to work.
And it is scary when you have grown men meth-raging in your driveway.
The last thing I feel safe doing is going out and saying, hey, can you please move so I can go to work?
Calling the police in city is an everyday chore with little reward.
So far, no one has come to help us.
Central City Concern Clean Start crews assessed this site Thursday.
It was one of about 1,900 other campsites reported just this week.
In the past 10 days, they found 272 encampments that pose a greater health and safety risk, which is why they haven't removed the camps in this neighborhood.
But just getting the city to come out and assess it has been a full-time job.
I have to report from like four different Four different bureaus and I have to report that report to a report and then I have to report that report to a second report and it's the only way to get any kind of traction.
I feel like nobody hears us.
Nobody cares about us.
No!
You didn't care.
It was NIMBY, not in my backyard.
And then it came to the Southeast.
Oh!
I'm sorry.
I don't feel bad for these people at all.
For years, they stood by like, oh, well, you know, poor people.
You can't screw unusual punishment.
Portland, we love!
We love everybody!
And now they're pissing in your front yard, and they're meth-raging.
I love that, meth-raging.
I like meth-raging.
Well, let's take a look at how they're dealing with this.
My favorite story for today, because it's in Texas, is this beautiful scam that Abbott has decided to pull to screw up DC.
This is fantastic.
Exporting the immigrants!
Yeah, hold on a second.
Here we go.
And over in D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser says the nation's capital is now dealing with a humanitarian crisis.
It has to do with illegal immigrants, and now she's asking for the military's help.
And today's Jason Perry has the story.
So I've asked for the deployment of the Guard, as long as we need the Guard to deal with the humanitarian crisis, that we expect to escalate.
That crisis being the flow of bus after bus heading to Washington from Texas and Arizona, all voluntarily transporting illegal immigrants.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Arizona Governor Doug Ducey don't appear to be slowing down the bus trips to Washington anytime soon.
Their reason?
Here's Abbott on KTEK last week.
The people in Washington, D.C.
seem to have a different standard.
They think that it's okay to have the open border situation as long as it remains in places like Texas.
We wanted to make sure that because Joe Biden has never come to the border, we want to take the border to Joe Biden and let them understand what we are having to deal with right here.
And they are only dealing with about the number of migrants that we have come across our border per day.
According to a letter obtained by NBC4 reporter Mark Seagraves, Mayor Bowser says over 4,000 people have arrived at the nation's capital since April.
It indicates that Bowser requested the National Guard on the 19th, but reporter Seagraves says no answer yet on her request.
We reached out to the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the White House for comment, but we didn't hear back before airtime.
Oh!
Now there is an update to this from the White House.
This is Kareen Abdul-Jean-Pierre.
She is the spokeswoman for President Biden.
And she was queried on this by Peter Doocy, who is now just coming into his own because he's figured out how to really get under her skin.
Really, really needle her good.
Did you see this exchange?
No, I didn't.
I'm all ears.
The D.C.
mayor sent the White House a letter asking for National Guard help with migrants that have been bused here from Texas and Arizona.
Is the president going to approve that request for the National Guard?
So, to your question on the National Guard, I refer you to the Department of Defense.
They will have that answer for you.
We have been in regular touch with Mayor Bowser and her team.
And I said this before.
I said this last week about Republicans using migrants.
as a political tool, and that is shameful, and that is just wrong.
There is a process in place for managing migrants at the border.
This is not it, what they're doing currently.
That includes expelling migrants as required by court order under Title 42, transferring them to ICE custody, or placing them in the care of local NGOs as they await further processing experience.
Again, so what Republicans are doing, the way that they're meddling in the process and using migrants as a political pawn is just wrong.
Yeah, so a couple of things, and there's a second part to this.
One, I just love migrants.
Let's just stop with the migrants.
These are illegal asylum seekers who don't get a hearing.
They get let in and let loose.
And sometimes they're put in airplanes via the government and shipped to faraway places.
In the middle of the night.
But that's what she means.
It's true, in the middle of the night.
To be fair, she says there's a process.
Yeah, the process is throwing it anywhere but in your sanctuary city of Washington, D.C., which they proudly announced.
Sanctuary city.
Isn't Austin a sanctuary city too?
I think so, yes, because you're a fabulous mayor.
Anyone who wants to go camp in Tarrytown, homeless or asylum seeker, I'll give you a free tent.
Let me give you a couple addresses.
Here's the follow-up.
So the White House's preference would be for small towns in Texas and Arizona to have to take care of these migrants rather than a large metropolitan city like Washington, D.C.?
That is not what I said.
That is not what you said?
I said that there is... Yeah, they are.
They're sending migrants to big cities on purpose, using them as a political pull.
If they don't go to big cities, where should they go?
There's a process.
I just laid it out.
There's a process, and they come to a big city, and now the mayor says she needs the National Guard.
That's because Republicans are using migrants who are coming here for, who knows, because they're dealing with humanitarian issues back in their country.
They're coming here for a better life and they are being used.
Peter, they're being used by Republican governors.
That is what's happening.
Does any of this just make the president want to say this is causing a lot of burdens on small cities, big cities, maybe I should just close the border?
What I'm saying is what Republicans are doing is wrong and there is a process in place and we should follow the process.
There is a legal process in place and they should follow it.
Okay, thank you.
Okay, so there was more to this.
Did you know that the...
The current administration is building, or completing, or restoring parts of a wall?
Yeah, that just started.
What is this, Arizona?
It started outside of one of the cities in Arizona, Tempe, or Tucson, not Tucson.
Tempe, I think.
One of the southern most cities, because people, it's just become an issue.
It's too much, right?
Because it's out of control.
Well, this was an even better exchange.
This is the new... Matt Lee used to be our boy over there at the State Department.
Is Matt Lee even alive?
Yeah, he's still at the State Department.
I don't get the fireworks from him anymore.
I don't know.
Did he have COVID?
A little chat, maybe?
Here's Doocy again.
Now this is about this wall in Arizona.
Why is the Biden administration building a border wall in Arizona?
So we are not finishing the wall.
We are cleaning up the mess the prior administration left behind in their failed attempt to build a wall.
And I just want to be very, very clear here.
On day one, we returned the money, the $8 billion the prior administration took from our military.
We gave that back.
To the military, for military families, for schools, for bases.
That's what that money was being used.
That's what it was taken away from.
And so, again, what we're doing is cleaning up the mess that the prior administration has done.
But President Biden, when he was a candidate, said, there will not be another foot of wall constructed in my administration.
So what changed?
We are not finishing the wall.
If walls work in that part of Arizona, is this the administration trying to get migrants to cross somewhere else, like in Texas?
What is the plan?
We are not finishing a wall.
We are cleaning up the mess that the prior administration made.
We are trying to save lives.
This is what the prior administration left behind that we are now cleaning up.
By finishing the wall?
Is this?
We are not finishing the wall.
By filling in, finishing?
We are not finishing the wall.
I mean, this, this is really, to me, a very interesting exchange because she, her talking point is, we're not finishing the wall.
And he's saying, well, what are you doing then?
And she's not saying we're putting a straight, you know, exactly what I asked.
Why is this happening?
What are you doing?
Well, we're not finishing a wall.
Oh, are you feeling something?
We're not finishing a wall.
It's as if, does she not hear him?
They have, this administration seems to have talking points.
And rules about what they can and cannot say.
And it's obviously not determined by her.
It's the people behind Biden.
They've got this thing about if we say that, like lawyers.
Or men who have sex with men.
Valerie Jarrett and... Obama.
And the twerp in Obama.
Condoleezza.
They have the...
And he followed up with, of course, putting her own stupid words right back in her face.
What?
And so they, I've seen this before.
They do this constantly.
They just won't say something.
And he followed up with, of course, putting her own stupid words right back in her face.
I mean, again, just as if he's speaking a foreign language.
By filling in, is this racist?
I don't know if you can't resist.
Because in 2019, when the former guy was proposing a wall, you said that it was his racist wall.
So how is this any different?
I'm just having a hard time understanding how this is any different.
I'm not even sure how you get to your first question, to this question that you just asked me.
I will say this.
A border wall... I'm answering your question.
A border wall is ineffective use of taxpayer dollars.
So it's ineffective of taxpayer dollars.
Dollars that actually went to the military, that the last administration, the prior president took from the military, which took away from schools.
Okay, so I get it.
So what they did was, they said, look, we've got to do something about this wall.
We've got to do something.
It's insane what's happening here in Arizona.
We've got to build something.
How do we, how do we justify this shit?
We were all, we told him it was a racist Trump, but it's no good.
Just tell him we're not finishing the wall.
And what did she say?
She said... She just changed, she didn't say anything.
We gave the money back.
Yes, like, this is not the racist wall.
We gave the money back to the military.
This is something different.
Uh, this is, uh, saving lives.
I'm sorry.
We're saving lives.
Effective use of... It's not effective use of taxpayer money.
Taxpayer dollars.
So it's ineffective of taxpayer dollars.
Dollars that actually went to the military, that the last administration, the prior president took from the military, which took away from schools, which took away from military bases.
That's what that money that he pulled away from to build this wall that he wanted.
That is ineffective, by the way, which I just said.
Just recently, CBP reported that new bollard fencing along the southwest border was breached 3,272 times between fiscal year of 2019 and 2021, requiring $2.6 million in repairs.
It's ineffective.
We are not finishing a wall.
We are cleaning up the mess that the last administration made.
Okay.
Ah, okay, there we go.
So since there was only a stupid fence and no wall, it has to be patched the whole time.
Okay.
The sad thing is, is that the American people, A, they'll never see this reporting, because, you know, it's not, this reporting is not done on an island where someone gets voted off.
Then people would watch.
This woman's no good.
And people just don't remember.
They forgot already.
It's like they've got a mental block.
She doesn't have the skill set of the redhead.
She has no skill set.
No, she has no skill sets.
And the redhead would, in this situation, she would slow down and she'd look at him and she'd give him that snide look.
She'd do her whole look and body language thing and then say, skip to the next person.
This woman is no good.
She's got no talent.
She's just an ethnic hire.
Yeah, diversity hire.
No.
She's gonna screw it up.
You got anything on the... I got Ukraine.
Yes, let's do some Ukraine.
I have this one Ukraine, because I listen to this and I'm thinking, okay, let's go back and remember that in Mariupol, the...
The guys that were stuck dead, the soldiers, the Nazis that were down in the steel mill, the factory, in the labyrinth of tunnels, there was reports that you have to stay here.
You're going to fight to the death.
And if you get out of there and then if you leave or surrender or anything, we're going to kill you.
So then we have this report.
And listen to this.
This is the Ukraine clip I have.
Ukraine is calling on the U.N.
and the Red Cross to investigate the deaths of more than 50 prisoners of war held by Russia.
President Volodymyr Zelensky says those organizations bear the responsibility for the soldiers' safety.
And Pierce Ryan Mann has more.
Dozens of soldiers being held at the Olenivka prison in eastern Ukraine were killed in an explosion Friday.
Russia claims the blast was caused by the Ukrainian military, an accusation Ukraine rejects.
In his latest broadcast, Zelensky said many of the prisoners in the camp were soldiers who served in the defense of Mariupol, who were captured following a deal negotiated by international mediators.
The UN and Red Cross acted as guarantors of the life and health of our soldiers.
Now they must react, he said.
He also called on the organizations to protect thousands of other Ukrainian POWs.
The Red Cross says it's seeking access to the prison to gather facts.
So what do you think happened?
Do you think the Russians killed these prisoners?
Or do you think the Ukrainians killed the prisoners as the Russians said it happened?
I don't know.
I don't know either, but you pretty much know what happened.
These guys have been doing this all along.
You guys all bailed out on us.
We're going to just blow up the damn prison and kill you.
And then to make all these demands.
Oh, Voldemort.
Voldemort.
Voldemort says, it's your responsibility.
What are you going to do about it?
Give us some more money.
Give us some more missiles.
I'm getting sick of this guy.
Voldemort is a dead guy.
Biden's a dead guy.
The Queen is dead.
Oh, and by the way, did you see the news about the Pope?
Considers retiring.
Was it not you who said that that would not happen?
That was me.
Yes.
Who said it would not happen.
Yeah, I told you the guy's gonna retire.
Because we need the Great Reset and then we gotta get rid of everybody.
All the old people are out, kind of the same time.
And then we'll have all the new, whatever that is.
Staying with Russia then.
This report.
Blinken would not confirm details of the U.S.
offer or speculation of a prisoner swap to bring home both Greiner and American Paul Whelan.
The security executive was arrested in Moscow in 2018 on espionage charges and has been sentenced to 16 years in prison.
Yeah.
You only hear about Greiner, of course, as put on Time magazine in some homage to Harriet Tubman.
It's interesting.
Have you seen that?
Griner on Time Magazine cover?
Oh my goodness.
They took the Tubman vibe.
Anyway.
Well, put Griner on the $20 bill, then.
They might.
But this is, of course, about Whelan.
They want Whelan.
I don't think they care about Griner.
Well, it's a good excuse to get Whelan.
That's what I'm saying.
The arms dealer's been sitting there as a pawn for years now.
The merchant of death.
The death guy.
Well, there's something weird going on.
It's like a red scare all of a sudden.
It's not enough to have Ukraine and all this situation.
We gotta bring it closer to home.
Hey, it worked before.
Let's freak everybody out about Russian spies!
This morning, a Department of Defense contractor and his wife are being held without bail in Hawaii, suspected of being Russian spies.
Authorities arrested 66-year-old Walter Primrose for identity theft last week.
He's accused of living for nearly 30 years under the name of a dead Texas infant named Bobby Fort.
His wife, Gwen Morrison, also accused of illegally changing her name to a deceased Texas child, Julie Montague.
Charging documents say the couple agreed to assume the identities of deceased American-born infants and have been fully living in these fraudulently assumed identities since 1987.
Prosecutors allege the couple obtained social security cards, driver's licenses, and passports.
And Primrose got a job with the U.S.
Coast Guard in 1994, earning him a secret level security clearance when he joined the Department of Defense in Hawaii.
When searching the couple's Oahu home, authorities say they found old pictures of them in Russian KGB uniforms, apparently taken in the 1980s.
Morrison's attorney claiming the picture was a joke.
My client wants everyone to know that she is not a spy.
Authorities also say they found an invisible ink kit, documents with coded language, and military base maps.
Neighbors didn't suspect anything unusual was going on.
Bobby used to do the yard, and he just wore headphones, and he just kept to himself.
The couple is not being charged with espionage, but experts think these fraud charges are just the beginning.
I get the real sense that the government is looking at much more serious charges and that they have charged them with identity theft to hold them.
In court, prosecutors called Primrose a flight risk with troubling possible overseas connections.
If convicted on all charges, he faces 17 years in prison.
Mona, Andrew.
So, just like the Americans, by the way.
Yeah, almost exactly the same storyline.
You think maybe they want to trade these jumeauks instead of the Merchant of Death?
That's why they brought these guys out into the open?
Eh, let's give them these guys.
They're spies.
Well, they, the way I, when I see this story, I'm thinking we knew all along.
Clearly.
Our, our agencies, our people knew.
And so they were watching them and, or keeping tabs on them or finding something, you know, something valuable.
Or maybe we've given them, tried to flip them recently and it wouldn't work.
Or we gave them some, some shitty information and now we want to send them back.
Ooh, yeah, that's a good one.
I don't know if anyone in our intelligence services is in fact that cunning anymore.
Well, there's historically that cunning.
Yeah.
And there's got to be some old-timers still there that are that cunning.
Not many.
No, probably not.
They're all woke.
Last Russia clip for me is...
You know, when this first started, remember Russia was posting memes at the airport and doing all kinds of fun stuff?
They're back now.
Now they're just trolling everybody.
So this is a beautifully made spot.
The voiceover, it may be fake, but I don't know.
To me, this is just a good troll, whether it came from Russia or not.
This is Russia.
Delicious cuisine.
Beautiful women.
Cheap gas.
Rich history.
World famous literature.
Unique architecture.
Fertile soil.
Cheap electricity and water.
Ballet.
Cheap taxi and delivery.
Traditional values.
Christianity.
No cancel culture.
Hospitality.
Vodka.
Economy that can withstand thousands of sanctions.
Time to move to Russia.
Don't delay.
Winter is coming.
What the hell?
What was that?
Yeah, I mean, it was posted as if a real... Produced in Russia.
Yeah, well, obviously it wasn't.
I loved it.
I loved it.
Winter is coming.
It's a troll.
What's behind that?
What's the point?
Well, it's a troll move is what it is, and it's a good one.
It's a good one.
It's a hilarious troll.
I think the voiceover could have been better.
That's what made it shit.
If they had done a better voiceover.
Yeah, it was like me doing it, you know, just, hey, you know, some phony voice.
Made me laugh, though.
Yeah, it's definitely amusing.
Let's get, since we're doing world stuff, let's just at least keep up with Iraq, which is falling apart.
Okay...
In Iraq, thousands of followers of an influential Shiite cleric stormed into Iraq's parliament protesting government formation efforts led by his rivals from Iran-backed groups.
The protesters, followers of Muqtada al-Sadr, used ropes and chains to topple cement walls around the heavily fortified Green Zone today and then headed into the assembly building for a sit-in.
It's the second such breach this week.
Wait a minute, isn't the Green Zone, isn't that our zone?
Yeah, it's a place where I think a lot of us are gone, but it was supposed to be this impenetrable wall around this very large area.
It's almost the size of Hayward.
Yeah, it's huge.
The green zone.
Yeah, it was a huge area.
And I knew a guy that was stationed there.
He was a contractor.
He wasn't in the army.
And he described it to me as like this large, where there's suburban style American houses and tracks.
Sure.
The lawns, everyone had a lawn.
Pools, pools, all kinds of pools.
Yeah, pools.
And so it was just like this little America in the middle of this, in the middle of Iraq.
And that's where the embassy was going to be, that big giant embassy.
They were building this monstrous embassy that we abandoned.
Right.
You know, the whole thing was a fiasco.
And so I guess they're breaching it.
What I understand is this is bad.
Well, what you're going to see probably in the United States in the media is going to be more pronoun shit and other unimportant things than anything that's going on in the world anywhere, especially protests about farmers, inflation, or Argentina, I think, is on the verge of collapsing.
Yes, it is.
The economy is about to go.
And we got to take a break.
And that's because of the introduction of certain socialist ideals.
I mean, people had like a lot of their... They were getting paid and they got universal basic income and then, hey, we got to cut back on that.
And people are like, what?
Yeah, that's basically what's happening.
Universal basic income has an issue and I think it's being played out in Argentina.
I have one more clip I want to play before we take our last break here, and that is regarding the January 6th, Jan 6th, 1-6 insurrection.
Worst thing ever happened since... What?
The coup!
The coup, yes.
And this is Kash Patel, who at one point was... Oh yeah, this guy's good.
In the defense department.
And he lays out very clearly why, no matter how good the production, Man, it was just amazing to hear Bill Maher say, I mean, they really nailed it with the production.
There's no way.
Trump is guilty.
They should lock him up.
It's clear from that production.
Because it was a great production.
He even said, it was the Republicans prosecuting.
As if Liz Cheney in the Star Chamber is a Republican prosecuting.
So the reason why it's not insurrection is because of the memo that you already clued us into months ago and here's Kash Patel just to explain exactly why this does not fit the technical description of an insurrection or the legal one or even a moral one.
So my view is the one that the law Demands.
Pretty simple.
This is not an insurrection.
An insurrection happens when someone, i.e., a President of the United States, basically hijacks a military or a piece of the military to take over the government.
Now, how would that have been possible when President Donald Trump, as we have extensively covered on this show, In the days before January 6th, authorize up to 20,000 National Guards, men and women, as the law requires.
We at the DoD took that authorization and request to Nancy Pelosi and the Capitol Police.
They said no.
We took it to Mayor Bowser and she said no.
It's literally impossible for a President of the United States to be charged with insurrection when he authorized the security of the United States Capitol on the day it was supposed to collect and garner the vote count to install the next President of the United States.
On top of that, in November-ish of 2020, President Trump's GSA, Government Service Agency, who is responsible for transitioning governments, signed off on a presidential authorization that said, transfer the power from Trump administration to Biden administration.
That can't happen unless President Trump said to do that.
And then we at the Department of Defense, I can speak personally, were ordered by the White House to transition to the Biden administration.
And we did the largest transition in Department of Defense history in terms of access to documents and personnel all during COVID.
And I wrote an article on that that I published when I was chief of staff.
But those two things taken even alone, Sounds right to me.
Yeah, totally.
insurrection narrative.
When you combine them, the fact that the president, President Trump authorized security for the Capitol and he ordered the transition of government, he could legally and factually not have been orchestrating a coup to conduct an insurrection.
Sounds right to me.
Yeah, totally.
But that's not enough, you see.
Wasn't the producer of the January 6, season one trial.
He was an ex-ABC guy, right?
Yeah, ABC's Good Morning America, I think, or something like that.
Oh, so they're still producing the show.
They're just doing a little side show over Good Morning America.
And I'm pretty sure that this was set up by the very same producers.
This morning, the controversial Live Golf Tournament is underway.
But before the golfers teed off, they were met with new criticism for participating in the Saudi-backed series.
Families of 9-11 victims led a protest before the opening round Friday expressing their frustrations with the players and former President Donald Trump, who hosted the tournament at his Bedminster Golf Club.
Today we call for accountability.
Today we call for justice.
The Saudi Arabian government and whoever attaches their name and reputation to this farce must be called out for what they're doing.
We're standing here in the backyard of where 750 people were turned to dust.
Families of the victims accusing Trump of turning his back on the U.S.
Nobody's gotten to the bottom of 9-11, unfortunately, and they should have, as to the maniacs that did that horrible thing to our city, to our country.
In 2016, Trump directly blaming the Saudis for the attack on 9-11.
Who blew up the World Trade Center?
It wasn't the Iraqis, it was Saudi.
Take a look at Saudi Arabia.
Open the documents.
Because, frankly, if you open the documents, I think you're going to see that it was Saudi Arabia.
Last year, the FBI declassified those documents under President Biden, detailing connections Al-Qaeda and most of the hijackers had with Saudi nationals.
The Saudi government has always denied any involvement.
Tim Frolic, a 9-11 survivor, calling out the former president.
Mr. Trump, we now have the documents.
Simply, you lied to our face.
And despite that criticism, in October, Trump will host another Saudi-backed tournament, this time at his South Florida golf club.
The world is burning.
Countries are failing.
It's going to be a cold winter in many parts of the Western world.
But oh no!
We need to go after the former president more.
More, more, more.
I've never seen anything like it.
I've never seen such fear.
Fear of Trump coming back, you mean?
Yeah.
They are, they are so... because they know.
If Trump gets in, they all hang.
Well, they thought they were going to hang the first time and they didn't.
Yeah, I know.
That's, that's the thing, you know.
It's like, I don't know, man.
I don't know if the hanging will ever take place.
Yeah, it won't.
Oh, come on!
You just hope it does.
You're hopeful.
You're a hopeful person.
Yeah, well, you know what I'm waiting for.
You're worrying for the shaved heads that are walking with a tar all over them feathers.
Yeah, that and thousands of sealed indictments.
I'm gonna show my school by donating to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
And we have a few people to thank.
Not a lot, but we have a few for the second part here for show 1473.

During the slower shows, a couple of make-goods people who weren't able to get their notes in for whatever reason.
I'm sorry?
I want to also mention that there's a couple that there's a switcheroo down in the $30 range.

We do the best we can.
We do the best we can.
We do the best that anyone can.
We really do.
So here's some make-goods.
These are people who did their best, but somehow weren't able to get the note to us.
This is for Sir Dudenchink.
He sent a two-boob donation, I think two shows ago now, a switcheroo for smoking hot wife Amy Mullen, Dame Slammy, who turned redacted years old on the 26th.

No Agenda Meetups!
It's not your party!
I was thinking about how we have no friends and you know, with No Agenda Meetups, which are really something that develops almost next to the show, has always been producer which are really something that develops almost next to the show, You know, someone local somewhere says, hey, let's have a meetup.
And then, you know, we talk about it or, you know, maybe they talk about it locally.
And then before you know it, this grew out and then we have Sir Daniel, he built a whole website for it, noagendameetups.com.
And now, these are real communities, and a lot of these places have mailing lists, and they've got telegram groups, and they communicate regularly, and they like to do these events.
I would say that what's coming now in the next probably 12 months, if you think it's Argentina and Sri Lanka and all these countries, if that's limited in scope, if you don't think you're going to witness any kind of issue here anywhere in the world in general, you're going to want to have a team of people that you can reach out to.
And it's got to be diverse because you got to come to the table with all you need.
No one knows exactly what's going to happen.
But I think being at a No Agenda meetup and meeting people and having a community is going to benefit anybody in the crap that is coming down the pike very soon.
So let's hear how some of those communities have had their recent meetups.
Willamette Valley.

That was really good.
No, that's the one.
You knew that was gonna be the one.
I do what you do.
I save the best for last.
Of course, and I only had one, so it was no good, so there you go.
I gave it to you, and you win.
Yay!
I have one last clip.
Okay, good.
Because it's so underreported and nobody wants to talk about it because if you remember that no one's ever saw some of these old previous hacks of huge American databases.
Oh, I don't know who did it.
Maybe North Korea when we know it was the Chinese.
So here's another massive hacks China style.
Three hostile foreign actors breached the U.S.
federal court system in a 2020 cyber attack.
That's according to New York Congressman Gerald Nadler.
On Thursday, he revealed that the three carried out an incredibly significant and sophisticated cyber attack against the federal court's document management system.
He added that the security breach had a disturbing impact on pending civil and criminal litigation, as well as ongoing national security or intelligence matters.
The U.S.
Judiciary issued a statement about the breach on January 6, 2021, saying that its case management electronic case file system had become a victim of an apparent compromise.
The system allows attorneys to file case documents such as pleadings, motions, and petitions with the court online.
The judiciary added the breach happened because of vulnerabilities in its system that greatly risk compromising highly sensitive non-public documents, especially sealed filings.
Nadler said that the Judiciary Committee learned in March of the startling breadth and scope of the system's security failure.
I didn't hear anything about that.
I can't recall a single thing.
Of course you didn't.
Huh.
It's the Chinese trying to track down some of their own people.
Ah, yes.
And they go, if they get ahold of these secret, you know, the ones that are sealed, because the guy goes, I'm from China, you know, I moved over here, I'm naturalized, but, you know, they're threatening my family.
Well, let's look and see what he's up to.
So do they have sealed indictments then?
They can have access to that?
That's what it looks like.
Of all the things... Probably 10,000 of them.
Of all the things they could do on the hack, they don't get the 10,000 sealed indictments?
What are you up to, China?
What they're up to is they're tracking Nancy.
Shoot her down.
Yeah, what they're up to is that it's not being reported at all by our corrupt media.
I just call them corrupt.
Might as well.
Everybody else's.
Every institution.
Except your No Agenda show!
Because we accept the vow of poverty of being podcasters.
And so have the douchebags who are up next, live on the No Agenda stream, The Battle of the Douchebags, Part 6.
Who knew?
There were five proceeding.
It's Sir Seatsitter, Boobury, Lavish, and Charlie Robinson.
They will be live there.

That is, shall we say, not everything that I want.
I mean, not even close.
Not even half.
Never let us forget that for too many Americans, justice and fairness and economic opportunity are still just empty promises that need to be fulfilled.
Give people, give people hope and part of our lower cost.
We're always saying that.
I own guns.
I own two shotguns.
I believe in the Second Amendment.
And look, it's not a right that's absolute.
But it's about the here and now as we go forward in the near future.
Thank you.
You can't be pro-insurrection and pro-God.
You can't be pro-insurrection and pro-democracy.
You can't be pro-insurrection and pro-America.
It isn't everything we want.
How many times have I said that?
You cannot judge something for what it doesn't do, but respect it for what it does.
And what this does do is quite remarkable.
In terms of our investments in protecting the planet.
I believe that we should protect the planet just as you do every single day as members of a critically important organization.
So we think we have a clear contrast in terms of why we are here, what our why is, and how we go forward.
Thank you.
What are you saying?
You saw what happened.
Any questions?
