	That's another booster.
	Adam Couric, John C. Devorak.
	It's Sunday, August 28, 2022.
	This is your award-winning GiveOnation Media assassination episode 1481.
	This is no agenda.
	Death-defying and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas country back here in FEMA region number six.
	6.
	In the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley, where the cold cars are backing up, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	Oh man, I've had technical difficulties today.
	Like what?
	Well, this is really odd.
	You had the new Rodecaster Pro, took it to Dallas, and I didn't take the... the... the... what is the computer called?
	The, uh, Blue... The Beelink?
	The Beelink, yeah.
	I didn't take the Beelink because I didn't need it.
	You know, the whole thing is... Oh, you hurt his feelings.
	No!
	The Rodecaster Pro is fine.
	You know, it's all self-contained.
	I just took a laptop, hooked it up, everything worked great.
	And, in fact, everyone said it sounded exactly the same.
	It did.
	So I bring it home, and I'm sitting... They said my voice was a little... pitchy.
	Oh, really?
	I thought it was a little tinny.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	That might have been the Wi-Fi connection.
	That doesn't help sometimes.
	Sorry, I didn't hear it.
	So I was like, I'll just set it up this morning.
	I get set and I don't know how this happened.
	But the only other external piece I had was a USB dock, an extender dock.
	Which, for some reason, didn't make it back home with me.
	I don't understand.
	Oh, you lost gear.
	Yeah, it's not a big problem, except I have a wireless keyboard, wireless mouse, and I also have a wireless mouth, and both of the receiver USB plugs were in the dock.
	Oh no!
	So I'm like, okay, luckily I have another wireless mouse, but then keyboard!
	Oh yeah, so do I have to rip apart boxes in the garage to get a wireless keyboard?
	Then I find I have a Bluetooth keyboard.
	You know, but you gotta log into Windows.
	Like, how do I do this?
	I blame Ben Shapiro.
	You know, I've lost gear on the road too, and it's very annoying.
	Oh, it's the worst.
	And you know, I'm not an idiot.
	I know how to check the room before I leave.
	Yeah, but stuff like that is, it's usually not on the mental checklist.
	You know, like something plugged in or a cable.
	I mean, I just, anyway.
	Well, somebody's been gifted something.
	Yeah, they don't have the keyboard or the mouse to go with it, but yeah, they got something gifted.
	Hey man, did you see the follow-up to the Ben Shapiro fracas?
	The Babylon Bee story?
	No, I hadn't seen the Babylon Bee.
	What did they write?
	10,000 people dead because Ben Shapiro walked through a Whole Foods.
	Oh yeah, right!
	You saw that.
	It was so interesting after the show.
	I saw the thousands and thousands of comments.
	And funny ones, too, you know, like, show me on the Ben Shapiro doll where you were hurt, you know, where he harmed you.
	You know, we're here at Dallas Medical, we're triaging, we've got thousands coming in, they're stacking up in the hallways.
	I'm telling you, I mean, it's not as if Ben Shapiro can't get publicity, but this was a goldmine for him.
	And he played it well.
	Really downplayed it, you know, let other people do funny reports.
	It was great.
	Yeah, it was a goldmine, I agree.
	But in an interesting way, it was also kind of like peak woke or, you know, like a fiat meltdown, if you will.
	Because it was people from all across the spectrum who were bitching at podcast movement.
	It wasn't.
	And they should be.
	Everybody should be.
	So people kind of came together.
	It's shameful what they did.
	They came together.
	They look like the weenies of the decade.
	They haven't tweeted since, I might add.
	So pathetic.
	What would the Curry Dvorak Consulting Group recommend for them, John?
	What do you think they should do in this case?
	Well, in this case, I think they're doing the right thing.
	Shutting up, just sitting quietly?
	Yeah, and letting it pass.
	Yeah, there's a saying in the old country.
	Als je geschoren wordt, moet je stilzitten.
	Which translates to, when you're being shorn as a sheep, you'd best better sit still.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Yeah, it's probably wise words.
	If they come out and try to do something, because they can't.
	You know, if you're that woke that that happened in the first place, You can't undo it with some sort of a sincere apology or anything because it makes you look worse.
	Yeah.
	There's nothing you can do in certain situations that won't make you look worse and just re-ignite the fire.
	You know, the thing, let it smolder out and go out completely.
	You got to just shut up and take it like a man.
	Like whatever you are, like a he, her, zur.
	Like a nim, a nur, a nur, a nim.
	Well, what's interesting is that people, all of a sudden, they're starting to contact the Podcasting 2.0 team.
	Like, hey, you guys seem to have an escape hatch from all this insanity.
	So, yeah, welcome to the party.
	Right on time!
	It's not much of an escape hatch.
	Doesn't everybody already know about it?
	No, no!
	You've got five million podcasts registered.
	No, no, it's absolutely not widely known.
	I thought it was totally widely known.
	No, I don't think it's widely known that there are so many apps that are now using the index.
	I don't think that's widely known yet.
	Oh, that part maybe not, but I think the podcasters know enough to get on the index.
	Oh, yeah.
	No, they're all in the index for sure, but they don't really know why.
	I don't think most know why.
	Well, that's always going to be the case.
	Yeah.
	I don't know.
	It's like the lines out in front of the disco.
	Is this place good?
	Yeah, look at the lines.
	Hey, I want in!
	Yeah, exactly.
	So I went from Dallas to Austin and then spoke yesterday at the BitBlockBoom conference.
	Which is fairly descriptive.
	It's a Bitcoin conference, but the fun thing is, and this is why I did it, it's run by Gary Leland.
	He's the guy that used to own the whole podcast conference.
	He sold it in 2019.
	And you will know who he is because he originally is the Podcast Pickle guy.
	You don't remember the Podcast Pickle guy?
	No, I don't.
	Man, he was at all the conferences early on and he was, you know, he had people... You have to remember I have never been to one of these conferences.
	No, but it was all, there were videos of it because he always had guys in big pickle suits walking around trying to sign him up to his Podcast Pickle network.
	You don't remember that?
	No.
	It's on LevelPodbean, you know.
	Podbean.
	Never heard of it.
	By the way, Podbean are huge.
	I had no idea.
	Oh yeah, they are huge.
	They were one of the biggest sponsors, which I think they laid down 80 grand to sponsor that conference.
	Insane.
	They should be eschewed for supporting this sort of hateful type operation.
	Yeah, they may be.
	They may be.
	So it was nice because at the BitBlockBoom conference I presented value for value.
	And the story got kind of tight and it worked out pretty well and people understood it, especially as the new international lifestyle.
	Good to see a whole bunch of no agenda people in the audience yelling out ITM and right in front of me there was a dude right in front and he was wearing a resist we much t-shirt and it cracked me up.
	Yeah, very different to Bitcoin.
	It was a lot more fun.
	Meanwhile, turn on the radio.
	This is all you get.
	TV, radio, anywhere.
	Tonight, new details from the partially redacted affidavit used to authorize the FBI search of- Actually, we should do it like this.
	This is better.
	Breaking news as we come on the air.
	Documents investigation.
	U.S.
	intelligence officials now conducting a risk assessment to evaluate potential harm to national security.
	The Director of National Intelligence leading a review of those classified documents.
	...recovered from the former president's Florida home.
	Some of them marked top secret.
	Officials working to evaluate the potential fallout from improper storage and handling.
	This a day after the DOJ released that heavily redacted affidavit justifying their search.
	Former President Trump insisting he did nothing wrong and laying out his case for a special master to oversee the documents.
	Are they allowed to use the term master?
	Is that okay?
	I think they should be called out for it.
	Yeah, that's very racist.
	We don't use those words anymore.
	Master.
	Nasty.
	I have a rundown from same... kind of the same as... I think a little more detailed.
	Yeah, this was... I just wanted that big bombastic opening and the... Yeah, the bombastic openings.
	And the big noise.
	The big noise, everybody!
	I see nothing on my list for this thing, even though I know it.
	I have a couple of things.
	Play another thing.
	I'll play another thing.
	So this is some detail.
	Not too long.
	Tonight, new details from the partially redacted affidavit used to authorize the FBI search of former President Donald Trump's Florida home.
	One of the significant concerns, according to the affidavit, was that no space What is a distinctly bureaucratic language?
	Why did he even say that?
	I don't understand.
	Well, now, let's stop there.
	Unfolded, of course, is the word he referred to.
	investigators using distinctly bureaucratic language said the records were unfolded but is a distinctly bureaucratic language why why did he even say that i don't understand well now let's stop there unfolded of course is the word he referred to yeah but uh why did he say why why Why diplomatic?
	Not intelligence or storage.
	No, diplomatic.
	Diplomatic is now international, so that might have to be going back to Macron, maybe.
	Oh, maybe the Macron thing might have something to do with it.
	Right?
	That could be it.
	Yeah, that's a good point.
	But his pointing out that this distinctly bureaucratic... What else do you do?
	What do you expect from bureaucrats?
	Investigators usually... It's like someone's a redundant.
	Okay, I'm sorry.
	In distinctly bureaucratic language, said the records were unfoldered and intermixed with other records and otherwise unproperly identified.
	Now, as expected, this affidavit was heavily- Is it unproperly or is it improperly?
	Yeah, that's what the whole idea was.
	He wants to point out the stupidity of using the word improperly.
	Oh, there it is.
	So, not being able to speak English is now diplomatic language.
	Let's play some points for... That's John Carl.
	Get some extra brownie points there.
	Oh yeah, for covering.
	For covering for that shit.
	Unbelievable.
	So whenever someone says something dumb, I'll say, oh, are you a diplomat?
	You speak like diplomat.
	Investigators using distinctly bureaucratic language said the records were unfoldered and intermixed with other records and otherwise unproperly identified.
	Now as expected, this affidavit was heavily redacted, with just 37% of the pages having no redactions.
	34% of the pages were partially redacted while 29% of this affidavit was totally redacted.
	In other words, completely blacked out.
	The affidavit argues a search of Mar-a-Lago was necessary due to the highly sensitive material found in boxes recovered by the National Archives back in January.
	Did you have anything?
	Yeah, I got my clips.
	Oh, okay.
	What you got?
	This is from NPR, so we have a slightly different approach.
	Oh, please.
	Yes.
	They won't point out the stupidity of unproperly.
	They'll just change the wording and do it for them.
	Raid Affidavit 1.
	A day after the Justice Department released a heavily redacted version of the affidavit used to justify a search of former President Donald Trump's South Florida home, the Director of National Intelligence says her office will lead an investigation into whether the storage of sensitive documents recovered poses any risk to national security.
	This after an inquiry from the chairs of the House Intelligence Committee and Oversight and Reform Committee.
	Representatives Adam Schiff and Carolyn Maloney say they're pleased the assessment will be done and are calling on the intelligence community to move quickly.
	Nearly half of that affidavit was blacked out and Pierce Ryan Lucas has more.
	The department described the affidavit as a roadmap to its investigation, and it said that releasing the affidavit untouched could compromise the very investigation that's underway, and so details about the scope and the direction of the investigation were redacted in the version that was released.
	So, for example, in a section about the probable cause for believing that classified documents and government records were still at Mar-a-Lago, pretty much the whole section on that was blacked out, page after page.
	Man... For the... Does anyone... Does anyone give a shit anymore about this?
	I mean, this is so dumb, so infantile.
	They're just... I mean, they could have said any... It could be any topic.
	They're just using that urgency and the big bombastic sounds and the... McGuffin.
	McGuffin, yes.
	They're pointing out, you know, percentages of redaction of... Give me a break.
	You're polluting... You're polluting people's minds.
	See what they say in part two of this report.
	Meanwhile, Trump wants an independent special master appointed over that search.
	A federal judge in Florida told the Justice Department today to give her more specific information about the classified records that were removed.
	And Judge Aileen Cannon says it's her preliminary intent to appoint a special master in the case.
	Again with the racist master.
	I don't understand how this is possible.
	I just don't get it.
	You can't say master bedroom.
	You can't say master suite.
	You can't use master slave in open source code.
	But yet special master?
	No problemo.
	Can't do master switch anymore.
	I can't believe that some of those Ben Shapiro people that they're not freaking out over this.
	They really should.
	Yeah, I'm in total agreement with your thinking here, because if you're gonna freak out about the use of the word master in all these other situations that are meaningless, you gotta do it.
	Why do you let this one slide?
	Why specifically do you let this one slide?
	Uh, let me think.
	Orange man bad.
	That would be it.
	No, that can't be it.
	What are you talking about?
	A couple of related clips.
	At one point there was a theory, and I think it still exists, that there's a mole, a mole in the Trump camp.
	And the mole let the feds know that Trump has something.
	Well, there's always been.
	I think Trump has been laced with moles ever since 2015.
	Sure, but the question is, who is the mole?
	Who's the mole?
	Well, thank you, James Shatner.
	I went to Mediate, which is, that's all part of the Clinton Isn't that the, what was that, media?
	Maybe not, I don't know.
	It's not a spin-off of Media Matters, but it's still... It's a right-wing thing, actually, I think, isn't it?
	Media?
	No, I don't think so.
	Well, regardless, 355 trackers, just wanted to point that out, so they got a hold of Mary Trump.
	So, according to the reporting, there is a Mar-a-Lago mole.
	Do you have any guesses?
	Who benefits the most by Donald Trump going to prison?
	You're right.
	And here is her theory.
	One is, so according to the reporting, there is a Mar-a-Lago mole.
	Do you have any guesses?
	Do you have any idea who you, who benefits the most by Donald Trump going to prison?
	There's so many.
	There are so...
	It's so tough to choose.
	I want it to be all of them.
	How can you take this woman seriously?
	It's so tough to choose.
	We need to start with who would have access to this stuff.
	I don't think Mark Meadows would have access to it.
	No, I don't either.
	Um, I think we need to look very hard at why Jared got two billion dollars.
	We need to look very hard at why he has been so quiet for so many months now.
	And we need to think about who, if, who could also be implicated in this that would need As big a play as turning Donald in in order to get out of trouble, or at least to mitigate the trouble they're in.
	It sounds like somebody in Jared's position.
	I'm not saying it's Jared, but it could be.
	We were going through it.
	We had all these scenarios.
	What is this $2 billion thing that she references?
	I don't have any idea.
	If he got two billion dollars, why would he then be the mole?
	Because they caught him stealing?
	What is this bulk?
	It's confusing to me.
	I'll give you the worst clip of the year for this clip, by the way.
	You're welcome.
	She is the worst person ever.
	And she was on some other show recently with Erica Jong, what's her name, and some other bunch of lefties.
	And she was so bad that all the lefties were rolling their eyes.
	They can't even deal with her.
	The New York Times reported on April 10th, a Saudi sovereign wealth fund led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, MBS.
	Contributed two billion dollars to Kushner's affinity partners over the objections of advisors who warned of Kushner's inexperience and the risk involved.
	Oh, so she's saying it's a payoff of some sorts.
	Which it sure looks like.
	Then again... Who knows?
	Who knows?
	We have no idea what's behind that.
	If it's real money, or if it's designed for something, or if he's the middleman for a payoff.
	No, we don't know anything.
	Great time to speculate, but it doesn't help.
	Our current president, Biden, was out and about and yelling and screaming about stuff and being mumbly.
	And he said something that, again, you can say, look, the guy's just gone.
	He has no mental capabilities left.
	This is a mistake.
	But, when he said it, you know, you gotta think, is this the truth coming out?
	Protect voting rights, we'll pass election reform and make sure no one, no one ever has the opportunity to steal an election again.
	Again?
	Wow, that's a good one, I missed it, you great clip.
	To steal an election again.
	Yeah, I mean, I think it's a grammatical, structural issue, and it could have been... I think he left a word out, he did something, but you're right, it came out as though the election was stolen.
	And who would have stolen it?
	Biden.
	Well, Trump claimed it was stolen, and Biden just kind of confirms it.
	So Biden went on to call UltraMAGA a bunch of fascists.
	Yeah, and then I guess Jean-Paul Pierre Trudeau or whatever her name is.
	Karine Abdul Jean-Pierre Van Damme, yes.
	She ended up doubling down and she was really into it because she used to be, you have to remember this, she used to be on MSNBC a lot.
	Yeah.
	And while she was on there, she was just slamming, just slamming the maggots.
	And so she felt that she was in her element for a few minutes in front of the press.
	Did you just say slamming the maggots?
	Just slamming the maggots.
	That sounds kind of cool.
	I don't know.
	It's like, it sounds like something you do in a bar.
	Yeah, so now this was a question from a British journalist, which made it just somehow better, I think.
	Only semi-fascism comment.
	Is this something we're going to hear more of, that phrase?
	Is this something the President's going to kind of embrace?
	Or is there any sense that it was, you know, a little impromptu and it's going to turn into a kind of basket of deplorables thing that he regrets and then tries to be quiet about?
	Look, I was very clear when laying out and defining what MAGA Republicans have done, and you look at the definition of fascism, and you think about what they're doing in attacking our democracy, what they're doing in taking away our freedoms, taking away, wanting to take away our rights, our voting rights.
	That is what that is.
	It is very clear.
	And that's why he made that powerful speech that you heard from him last night.
	And he has not shied away from saying that.
	So I did look up the definition.
	Fascism.
	So I can see how in her mind a political philosophy movement or regime such as that of the fascisti that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized this is where it falls apart autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader severe economic and social regimentation and forcible suppression of opposition.
	So I can see how someone who is on the extreme left has lost the plot.
	Don't you think the forcible suppression of opposition existed right within her little speech there?
	Of course, but that's not... She's the fascist!
	Yeah, of course, but that's... Hello, what you say to yourself.
	That's... But I can see how they see it.
	I see... This clip will exemplify that.
	And I'm so sad I have not had an opportunity to see the entire episode, because based on this, it's going to be a clip fest.
	Rob Reiner and Amy Klobuchar were on Bill Maher.
	Did you see this?
	Not yet.
	Yeah, me neither.
	But I do have this one clip where Bill Maher, soon-to-be jobless Bill Maher, Or lifeless Bill Maher brought up the Hunter Biden laptop and the Sam Harris admission where he said, no, no, no, you know, we just suppress that.
	That's okay.
	It's okay when you have Trump that then it's okay to do that.
	So Bill Maher questions these two.
	Over this press doing this.
	Anything is justified in preventing them from taking office.
	Is it?
	No, no.
	You know what's not justified?
	Using armed violence to try to kill people in the Capitol.
	That's not justified.
	Answer this question.
	Answer this question.
	What is the question?
	The question is, was it appropriate to bury the Hunter Bidens?
	You're talking about the press doing that?
	He's saying that's what they did and that is what they did.
	They buried the Hunter Bidens story before the election because they were like, we can't risk having the election thrown to Trump.
	We'll tell them after the election.
	And we know for a fact that that's what they did?
	Of course.
	You don't follow this?
	You know for a fact that that's what they did?
	I don't know what they did.
	I know because you only watch MSNBC.
	No, that's not true.
	Well, then you would know about this.
	I do know about that.
	Well, you're acting like you know.
	I do know about that, and I do watch Fox.
	But the point is, we're going to prove now that the press... They're admitting it.
	The press is admitting it.
	Yes, that's not even an issue anymore.
	They're saying, yes, we basically did this because we didn't want this to throw the election.
	Yes.
	I don't know that they've all said this and I, I believe, I believe strongly.
	Well, the New York Times definitely did.
	My dad was a reporter.
	I believe in it.
	And I think you have to, you have to make sure that you're treating people fairly.
	But I think Rob's point here is that we are dealing with a man who used to be the president right now, who literally tried to lead an armed insurrection.
	And that's why we're so focused on this right now.
	And I have not been, as you've noticed, this bombastic.
	Is my friend here.
	About what's going to happen.
	About what's going to happen coming out of the what we just got out of what they just got out of Mar-a-Lago.
	I don't know.
	And just as I don't know what's going to happen in these cases.
	I believe you got to let the Justice Department do their jobs.
	Orange man bad.
	Love this.
	You know, she has such a nervous quality to her voice.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. D.
	You know, she just sounds like she's shaking.
	You heard Reiner, though.
	These people are unhinged.
	Not like we didn't know, but he's unhinged.
	Oh, Reiner's always been unhinged.
	But he knows this.
	What I heard him doing there is not like How am I gonna cover this up?
	I think he was taken aback.
	Holy shit.
	Did Bill Maher just put me on the spot like this?
	That's what I think happened there.
	And he got mad and then Bill Maher went, no, you only watch MSNBC.
	Ooh.
	I wonder if Rob Reiner still has Hollywood juice, man.
	I don't think so.
	You don't think he has juice?
	But I...
	Reiner comes from a comedic family, and Marr is a comedian, and they're something.
	They're great, I think.
	I don't think they match.
	I think their personalities conflict.
	Maybe, I could be wrong, but I can't see the two of them hanging out.
	I think the most logical clip from here is your Zuckerberg clip, which I presume is the whole clip of him, the important clip we were hearing of him on Rogan.
	It's the main one that was clipped from Rogan.
	Yeah.
	I think it covers the whole thing.
	How do you guys handle things when they're a big news item that's controversial?
	Like, there was a lot of attention on Twitter during the election because of the Hunter Biden- By the way, I think Zuckerberg is a great get for Joe.
	And he came to the studio, which was also good.
	Did you see how Zuckerberg... Well, what's interesting... Yeah, I agree with you, because nobody else brings out Zuckerberg and brings him to a normality.
	No, he's always in his office or in his house in Hawaii.
	Yeah, but he's been interviewed on the road by different people and there's been a lot of them that have failed because he's a little off-putting and he doesn't like...
	He doesn't like a lot of people.
	He's autistic in some funny way.
	But for some reason, he felt, uh, he looked very normal.
	Much more so than when he's in Congress.
	Yeah, the thing that got me was his headphones.
	He had his headphones, like, on the back of his head.
	Instead of on the, you know, just like, like a man.
	He probably, just because he wants to show off his great head in here.
	Oh, is that it?
	Okay.
	They're beautiful short hair.
	Yeah, I'll roll it back a little bit.
	Yeah, so there was a lot of attention on Twitter during the election because of the Hunter Biden laptop story.
	No, no, no.
	The reason he did that, he has those pointy alien ears, so he has to kind of move the cans, otherwise his ears hurt.
	Yeah, so you guys censored that as well?
	So we took a different path than Twitter.
	I mean, basically the background here is the FBI, I think, basically came to us.
	Basically.
	Some folks on our team.
	Basically, basically.
	Now, this is the part where we're missing a key piece of information that we got when Mark Zuckerberg was in Time Magazine Man of the Year.
	When Robert Mueller, hey this isn't Time Magazine, Robert Mueller pops his head in the office where Zuckerberg is being interviewed for Time Magazine and says, hey I was just down in my office down the hall and just wanted to say hi.
	The FBI didn't just, you know, contact their folks, the FBI is at the desk next to them.
	Just for context.
	Basically came to us, some folks on our team, and was like, hey, just so you know, you should be on high alert.
	We thought there was a lot of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election.
	We have it on notice that basically there's about to be some kind of dump that's similar to that.
	So just be vigilant.
	So, our protocol is different from Twitter's.
	What Twitter did is they said, you can't share this at all.
	We didn't do that.
	What we do is we have, if something's reported to us as potentially misinformation, important misinformation, we also have this third-party fact-checking program because we don't want to be deciding what's true and false.
	And for the, I think it was five or seven days when it was basically being determined whether it was false, The distribution on Facebook was decreased, but people were still allowed to share it.
	So you can still share it, you can still consume it.
	So when you say the distribution has decreased, how does that work?
	I like how you consume it on Facebook.
	You're a consumer.
	You consume the information.
	Basically, the ranking in News Feed was a little bit less.
	A little bit less.
	Fewer people saw it than would have otherwise.
	By what percentage?
	I don't know off the top of my head.
	Yeah, fuzzy.
	It's meaningful.
	Basically, a lot of people were still able to share it.
	We got a lot of complaints that that was the case.
	You know, obviously this is a hyper-political issue, so depending on what side of the political spectrum you either think we didn't censor it enough or censored it way too much, but we weren't sort of as black and white about it as Twitter.
	We just kind of thought, hey look, if the FBI, which I still view as a legitimate institution in this country, it's a very professional law enforcement, they come to us and tell us that we need to be on guard about something, then I want to take that seriously.
	Did they specifically say you need to be on guard about that story?
	I, I, no.
	I don't remember if it was that specifically, but it was, it basically fit the pattern.
	Couple of things.
	One, the pattern, it fit the pattern, that means they might as well have said something about it being specifically that, but they didn't.
	Right.
	I have to assume that the FBI also has its hooks into Twitter.
	Of course.
	And Twitter just took the bait and just said, okay, we're going to kill the story.
	That has to be the case.
	There's no way around it.
	Well, what's interesting is, you know, I don't think Joe asked about Twitter.
	He asked about Facebook.
	No, he did at the beginning.
	No, I mean, no, he never asked about Twitter.
	Zuckerberg at the beginning talked about Twitter.
	No, Zuckerberg talked about it through the whole thing up until the end.
	He's like, well, Twitter did.
	We weren't like Twitter.
	It wasn't Twitter.
	We're not Twitter.
	Twitter did that.
	It wasn't that bad, but the FBI And then he says at the end, he says, what they didn't specifically say it was about the laptop, but it fit the pattern.
	So there was some, there was some predetermined beat around the bush.
	And the real pattern was of course, when the thing rolled out is the 17 agencies and Clapper and everybody in between saying, Oh yeah, Russia disinformation.
	It's so obvious to anyone.
	It's disinformation from the Russians, which is part of the pattern.
	The sad thing is, To people who understand what this means, like, wow, that's pretty brazen, that's how it works, these people can't be trusted.
	I'm afraid most people are like, well, that makes total sense.
	Of course we should do that.
	This is the way it should work.
	It protects us from Russian disinformation.
	Yes, we're dummies.
	Someone asked me yesterday at the conference, do you think in Europe, in the Netherlands, do you think that people eventually, are they getting close to being so fed up that we see a real resistance?
	I said, no!
	The Germans invaded him, they capitulated, gave him their bikes within six hours.
	No, and not in Europe, and not in America, and nowhere.
	No one knows hardships.
	No.
	So the same thing.
	Rob Reiner will listen to this and go, well, that's great.
	Law enforcement doing its job.
	That's the sad thing.
	People don't... Yeah, I agree with that.
	There's no evidence that there's any way that this is going to go any further than it would do.
	I mean, it's just going back and forth the way it's going.
	We try to deconstruct it and show you what's really happening.
	But it doesn't mean anything.
	It just means that there's...
	He's back and forth.
	It's like a tennis game.
	It doesn't mean anything.
	Well, it doesn't mean anything.
	It doesn't mean there's a revolution coming.
	There's no revolution coming.
	You've been hearing all your life, you know, and the left is going to be, oh, the revolution.
	It's the time for the revolution.
	It's time to resist.
	It's resist.
	You know, the resistance, in fact, like, I still think it's somewhat irksome, like some other things that bother me is that right after the election of Trump, Hillary Clinton says she's going to do what she can to help him.
	And the next thing you know, on her Twitter feed, it says the resistance.
	She's not going to help him.
	She didn't help him.
	She's a liar.
	That was a great, what happened?
	I thought I clipped that.
	Hillary... Oh, man.
	Did I not clip that?
	Hillary Clinton did, like, some... She and Chelsea have a, um... Oh, that's odd.
	I guess I didn't clip... Oh, here it is, yes.
	She and Chelsea have a reality show called, uh, Gutsy.
	It's on Apple Plus, because you know it's quality.
	Apple Plus.
	Where do we bury this thing, Bill?
	Put it on Apple Plus, for God's sake.
	Nobody listens to that.
	I gotta say, Apple Plus, you know, I'm usually like, hey, if it's on Apple Plus, then, you know, a lot of money went into it, probably.
	So they have this Apple Plus show, and then they bring on strong women, gutsy, gutsy, gutsy chicks.
	And they brought on Kim Kardashian.
	Now, so they do a knowledge quiz?
	And Kim Kardashian kicked Hillary's ass like 11 to 4.
	And this is how it was reported.
	In their new Apple TV Plus show, Gutsy, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton found unique ways to shine a light on the important work being done by both celebrities and everyday heroes.
	The mother-daughter duo opened up about the legal trivia contest with criminal justice reform advocate Kim Kardashian that proved particularly humbling for one of them.
	Under what circumstances may one use deadly force to defend themselves?
	Yes.
	When one is being faced with deadly force themselves or one believes that deadly force is imminent.
	Was it humbling to lose that contest to her secretary?
	Oh, it was heartbreaking.
	Oh my gosh.
	I think it's also just easy to work on her reaction time, Sandra.
	It's like sometimes I could see my mom knew what the answer was, but she wouldn't hit the buzzer in time.
	Well, I was also really intrigued by how well she did.
	I wanted to, you know, put the spotlight on her.
	Not that she needs it, but she worked.
	I wanted to pan it to a brown person.
	Yeah, that's who you want for president.
	Someone who has no response time.
	her with no i'm not saying that i'm not saying it's more the reaction time but it was like i she would hit it but i don't think you could really see that because they do like the buzzer sort of soundtrack in the series but what you don't see is like you know kim would hit it and then i'll be like oh wait no i would hit it too so she has to work on her reaction yeah yeah that's what you want for president someone who has no response time sounds about right notice also how chelsea gives it away and says well you know it's just fucking phony buttons
	They put the soundtrack in later.
	Yeah, good work.
	Couldn't even, couldn't even take the little effort to rig up the buttons.
	I mean buttons.
	Oh, I did you, I sent you a picture.
	Do you see the picture of your buttons?
	No, I did not see a picture of my buttons.
	I sent you a picture.
	How did you send it?
	Through email.
	You never read my emails.
	I do, I go through them all the time.
	I've gone through every email you've ever sent.
	And the subject was buttons.
	Let me look up buttons.
	You got a he, him, she, her, they, them, and a blank one you can fill out yourself.
	Which would be ni, nir, nem.
	Ni, nir, nem.
	Sorry, got it wrong.
	You think they would have those already prepared?
	The Neener Nims?
	No, no, no.
	They thought it would be too dangerous because if Ben Shapiro saw someone, they might melt.
	Well, it's not under the title buttons, so let's start with that little issue.
	What is it under?
	I don't know.
	I looked up buttons and there's nothing there.
	We don't have to bore everybody with our email wreckage.
	Well, I don't know.
	You want to switch topics?
	I got a couple things to talk about.
	What do you want to talk about?
	People dying.
	We could do something uplifting.
	That's depressing.
	I don't think that's going to be any fun.
	Well, it is kind of fun because Mark Stein, who, by the way, this GB News, that's catching some steam over there in the UK.
	I thought, you know, I was like, has anyone watched this thing?
	But even, who's the guy, Mark from Clean Feet, I told you I met Mark from Clean Feet.
	Nice guy, Brit, you know, doesn't understand Texans with their guns, doesn't understand, you know, he also said- I don't care why they got the guns!
	Well, we got into a nice little conversation, he said, do you know that there's more knife crime in America than in the UK?
	I'm like, okay, alright, you're probably right, whatever.
	But he, but he said, you know, this GB News, it's really, it's really catchy.
	And he's a broadcast guy, so he would know.
	So it's catching, catching some steam.
	Mark Stein, maybe one of their lead guys.
	I don't know.
	But he had on... Well, hold on.
	I don't want to stop you here on this.
	But I got nothing from you here on this email.
	I got screwball, I got you saying thousands dead, you sent me a forward of correct please 480, you sent me a forward of the newsletter suppression alert, you sent me a forward JCD is off and is musky history which needs to be read.
	I don't have anything on the buttons.
	You sent me nothing.
	Well, let me check my scent box.
	I mean, I'm, yeah, well, maybe you're right.
	Maybe I didn't.
	That's probably the reason I don't read a lot of your email.
	Yeah, because I never send them to you.
	He's not going to read it anyway.
	I got my name spelled wrong.
	Oh, there you go.
	Okay.
	Um, no, so Mark Stein had on his show, eight time English, England soccer team captain.
	So these are the guys that played the big international games, you know, World Cup, UEFA Cup, all that.
	Matt LaTissier, And he is very disturbed by what he sees with young athletes in England.
	You've asked for a proper investigation into what is going on here.
	I take it you just suddenly noticed that there were footballers and boxers and rugby players dying more often than they should be.
	Very much so, Mark.
	I've been involved in sport all my life.
	Not only that, I watch a hell of a lot of sport.
	It's pretty much the only thing I watch on the television.
	And I have seen so many people, so many incidents of young, fit, healthy sports people collapsing on their fields of play.
	And it's just not normal.
	And yet, The media seem to be normalising it and nobody seems to be paying any attention whatsoever to this huge rise that has gone on and for the authorities in charge of these sports to not notice it or not to be calling for an investigation I think is absolutely scandalous and I have been trying and
	And hopefully I'll get a meeting soon with the powers that be in football to try and put evidence before them to show them just what is happening because they don't seem to want to investigate it themselves and I think that's criminal.
	Well, it's just because of the diet.
	It's because of the weather.
	No, there's a new one.
	Global warming.
	No, there's a new one.
	There's a new one.
	According to the Daily Mail, who gets this from a study?
	I might as well just check out and see which study this was.
	Let me see.
	Study is from researchers.
	Let me see.
	Who were the researchers?
	Researchers examined lynx.
	No, do they not say?
	Interesting.
	Professor Sir Nilesh of the British Heart Foundation.
	Ah, yes.
	Yes, okay.
	He would know.
	He would know and he says car fumes from exhaust and heavy braking.
	Heavy braking raise the risk of heart attacks.
	That's right.
	Car fumes and heavy braking.
	How is the heavy braking?
	Well, today's brake pads aren't made with asbestos anymore.
	And so the material used is, I guess... Oh, no, wait.
	Combustion?
	Here it is.
	Oh, combustion, abrasion from brakes, and tires, and dust!
	Oh, tires, this is a big deal now.
	You're talking about... By the way, which doesn't... There's some logic.
	There's a climate change thing there.
	There's a logical inconsistency with this tire complaining.
	But tires, you know, slough off as you drive around and pieces of rubber come off.
	Slough?
	Yeah, it's like sloughing off.
	I've never heard of that.
	But the tires last a lot longer.
	So I don't get how these tires are Well, this does make sense to me because I recall there was an article I'm looking at right now about tires.
	Yes, here we go.
	The Atlantic.
	which is flying all over the place, and the tires are lasting longer.
	It's just something about it doesn't make sense.
	Well, this does make sense to me because I recall there was an article I'm looking up right now about tires.
	Yes, here we go, the Atlantic.
	Car tires are a major pollution problem.
	Environmental impact of a car tire.
	Tire makers tackling climate change with eco-friendly tires.
	So here's how I would do it.
	Here's how I would do it.
	Here we go.
	Climate change, because of the tires, is killing people.
	So stop driving, people.
	Wooden tires.
	There's an element to stop driving that's true.
	Then there's a German study that finds that the COVID vaccine is 40 times deadlier than we think, than we think.
	I don't know who it is, if it's him or we, but that's bad.
	We.
	And CBS, well, they have some answers to this.
	There's a new chart making the rounds on social media and it's easy to misinterpret what it's telling you.
	It appears to say most people dying of COVID-19 lately are actually fully vaccinated.
	CBS 17 digital reporter, Jody McCrary, is fact-checking it.
	Now, what this chart shows is deaths in vaccinated people now outnumber those among the unvaccinated.
	But an expert tells me it leaves out a very important detail, how old those people are.
	Look closer at this chart you may have seen online.
	At some point after February, Weekly deaths in vaccinated people surpassed those who didn't get a vaccine.
	That's the black line moving over the blue one.
	But UNC Dr. David Weber says what it's missing is age.
	Most of the cases we're seeing now of deaths, or many of them, are in older people, much like we saw two years ago.
	The majority of older people in particular because of their risks for COVID are vaccinated.
	So it's not surprising if the majority of people are vaccinated, even if the vaccines are working, the majority of deaths will be in people who are vaccinated.
	That's why the chart from the State Department of Health and Human Services includes a key phrase, age-adjusted.
	The real question is not what percentage of deaths or hospitalization are in vaccinated or in unvaccinated.
	It's by age, what's the risk of death in vaccinated versus unvaccinated individuals.
	And because we know immunity fades over time, it also highlights how important boosters are, including the ones coming soon that target the Omicron variants.
	Omicron!
	So that's really the question that you need to ask.
	Yes, sir.
	How do they turn this report into get another shot?
	I know!
	It's beautiful!
	It's so skillful.
	Boosters are, including the ones coming soon that target the Omicron variants.
	So that's really the question that you need to ask is vaccinated versus unvaccinated.
	What age group?
	And then did you have two, three or four doses?
	And in my story online, find out why Dr. Weber compares those COVID deaths to car wrecks.
	Oh, yes.
	Oh, boobie.
	He's got it on the money, boobie.
	So I guess if you're old, you're going to die.
	It happens.
	And they don't care.
	Well, I mean, the vaccine clearly is killing older people.
	They didn't give enough shots is the problem.
	Yes, they need another shot.
	So in Australia, there's an interesting little speech here by a barrister.
	Funny enough, I just asked my friend Mark from Clean Feed, what is the difference between a solicitor and a barrister?
	And I still don't really understand, but a solicitor is like your lawyer, and a barrister, that's like someone who can do special things and bring cases and, I don't know, can probably have tea with the Queen.
	So it's not just some schlub lawyer, the barrister has some power.
	He's up a notch.
	He's up a notch.
	And this is Julian Gillespie.
	And he is giving his opinion in I don't know which parliament he's giving or hearing, he's giving his opinion of the legal and perhaps tort responsibility of doctors And lawmakers.
	That would be the people he's speaking to, which is kind of funny when you see their faces.
	Due to the scale of the rollout, it now appears tens of thousands of practitioners have repeatedly performed medical treatments, properly termed gross medical and or professional negligence.
	With respect to patients receiving the COVID-19 injectables, where each practitioner has no immunity from government whatsoever.
	So these practitioners are therefore personally and professionally liable to actions for medical negligence from their patients receiving COVID-19 injectables, particularly those patients who subsequently died or suffered adverse side effects from the COVID-19 injectables.
	Additionally, Due to the illegal nature of the APRA and National Boards joint statement, it does also appear that the public officers of APRA and the National Boards responsible for the creation and publication of the 9 March 2021 statement are now legally exposed to the action of misfeasance in public office.
	As the harm to COVID-19 vaccine victims was foreseeable, in terms of these still remaining experimental gene-based therapies, these vaccine victims and future victims who later develop vaccine-related injuries and illnesses can sue the public offices of APRA and the national boards in their personal capacity.
	A further liability in the same public offices appears available to those registered practitioners who improperly administered the COVID-19 injectables in breach of their codes of conduct.
	Should those health practitioners subsequently be sued by their patients and they have to pay damages to their patients, then those health practitioners may in turn be able to sue the public offices of APRA and the National Boards for coercing and threatening them to ignore their codes of conduct.
	Such illegal action, again, would be the tort of misfeasance in public office.
	We'll see.
	I'll give you a clip of the day for that one.
	Oh, thank you.
	Appreciate it.
	That's the same thing that's going to happen here?
	I think so.
	And a lot of these doctors should be ashamed of themselves for doing what they did.
	And especially the ones who came on TV and keep... We got a guy here, some guy, Wang or Wong, whatever his name is, some character comes in from UCSF and he's on CBS, our local affiliate, constantly.
	He's on all the stations and he's just, yeah, more shots, get more shots, another booster.
	You know, that's all he talks about.
	Booster, booster, booster.
	And this guy should be, I don't know, I think he should be liable.
	And also in Canada, we have the situation where the doctors can't even say anything.
	They can't even express an opinion about, well, I don't know if this shot's right for you.
	Lock him up, lock him up.
	And the fact that they could go after, in this case I think it was the equivalent of maybe the CDC, NIH, that could go after people personally, hold them personally liable.
	Which of course is why Fauci is disappearing now.
	The Great Walkback is on.
	Here is CDC Director Volensky.
	Just listen to this horse crap.
	Director, do you think the lockdowns went too far?
	You know, many of those lockdowns predated me at the CDC.
	Here is what I can tell you since my time at the CDC and watching it even.
	Why didn't you just answer that question?
	No, that predates me.
	Just so you know, I had nothing to do with that.
	I'm not going to answer any questions.
	Here is what I can tell you since my time at the CDC and watching it even beforehand.
	And that is, there were important decisions that we had to make in imperfect time with imperfect data.
	And we always updated those decisions as those data were evolving.
	As we got more data, we had more information by which we could make better decisions.
	So I don't necessarily want to revisit the question of lockdowns that predated me.
	But what I will say is, we have updated our guidance in the context of new information.
	And sometimes we have to make a decision before we have all the information that we want.
	And I've said to our agency, not making a decision is a decision in and of itself.
	So she doesn't want to say anything about lockdown, but this question will come up for her because they're going to try it again, no doubt.
	And what else did she have?
	Oh yeah, wasn't it the science?
	Follow the science?
	The science.
	Science, science.
	Don't attack me, I represent science.
	Yeah, but the data changed.
	Everything I heard was, the data shows us.
	Remember the first data.
	Three million dead.
	That was the first data, came out of England.
	Three million dead.
	These people are just... Again, I don't know if... Are we just whistling in the wind, John?
	Are we just out there?
	Hey, everybody!
	Yeah.
	You haven't figured that out?
	Mike Tyson.
	Have you seen Mike Tyson recently?
	No.
	Why?
	He's in a wheelchair.
	He's grown a beard.
	He walks with a cane.
	He looks like an old man.
	And, you know, he is on... I think I saw a video.
	Well, he says, well, I was basically beaten into submission to get the vaccine because, you know, without me, no one earns any money.
	So I really didn't want to do it, but I did it.
	And now you see the guy, I mean, he physically looks like he aged 20 years.
	Really?
	Yeah, just look, just look, just look at the book of knowledge.
	Well, they've been suppressing this information.
	Just take a look.
	Just do a search for, um, buttons.
	Mike Tyson.
	Tyson wheelchair.
	Tell me what you think he looks like.
	He looks like, I mean, maybe I'm missing some, maybe I'm missing some information, but I'm not sure exactly what.
	I think it was, what was his problem?
	He had, uh, let me see.
	Mike Tyson.
	You see him?
	You see him in the wheelchair?
	Yeah.
	Here's he, uh, let's see.
	There you go.
	Viral.
	Viral.
	Where is he?
	Oh, let's see.
	Mike Tyson spot in a wheelchair.
	Miami picks go viral.
	There you go.
	Yeah, viral, viral.
	Oh, he says it's a Sciatica flare-up, which can be very painful.
	Who was it again that kept saying he had sciatica, who was just clearly... Was it Nadler?
	Yeah, Jerry Nadler.
	Oh, I fall down all the time because I have sciatica.
	But look at Tyson, man.
	He looks old.
	Look at that face.
	I hope you all are playing along.
	If you have a podcast in 2.0 app, you can see it right now.
	Dreb Scott put that image right there in the chapter so you can see it.
	Doesn't look good, does he?
	No, he doesn't look good.
	Who knows?
	He's still buffed.
	Oh yes, Djokovic is being talked about because he is not coming to the U.S.
	Open.
	This is ridiculous, by the way.
	Yes, hello, I've been saying this.
	I cannot get Kevin over because he's unvaccinated.
	He couldn't come over with Christina because of this stupid law.
	And I hear people, and this is what pisses me off, like, I was driving home, or wherever I was, and I, yeah, maybe it was Friday, I heard it on The Five.
	Like, well, they should just make an exception.
	No!
	This whole thing should be gone.
	Don't make an exception.
	Exactly.
	That pisses me off.
	Get rid of it.
	Get rid of it.
	We're one of the few countries left that has this stupid requirement.
	And especially since it makes no legal sense with the CDC saying vaccinated and unvaccinated will not be treated differently.
	But no, if you want to come to the United States and you're not a citizen or a resident, you're not allowed.
	If you're unvaccinated, you're not allowed.
	A-holes.
	Yeah, it's really bad policy.
	Well, there's a couple more things.
	Oh yeah, the lawsuit.
	I think...
	Like we knew this wasn't coming.
	I think you have a clip or two about this.
	This is an overview.
	Tonight, Moderna suing vaccine giant Pfizer and BioNTech, accusing its rival of violating patents on groundbreaking mRNA technology used in its COVID shots.
	The biotech startup saying, We believe that Pfizer and BioNTech unlawfully copied Moderna's inventions, and they have continued to use them without permission.
	Pfizer says it was surprised by the lawsuit, adding its own vaccine was based on BioNTech's proprietary mRNA technology.
	We remain confident in our intellectual properties supporting the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine and will vigorously defend against the allegations of the lawsuit.
	Some are arguing at least in an emergency situation, we need to At least temporarily waive patent rights to get more shots in arms.
	But Moderna is not demanding any halt in the sales of Pfizer vaccines.
	Last year, Moderna and Pfizer reported $54 billion in COVID vaccine sales combined.
	Pfizer selling twice what Moderna did.
	The highest one-year total for a pharmaceutical product in history.
	And the stakes are high.
	mRNA technology is being used to develop drugs for everything from HIV to autoimmune and cardiovascular diseases to cancer.
	Woohoo!
	Yeah!
	Alright!
	It's gonna be great!
	mRNA fest!
	You know what, when this first happened, when the first vaccines came out, and I knew Moderna had the patent on the idea of a workable mRNA, which has never been, you can't really get a workable mRNA if you go through the normal process of animal testing because they all die.
	They still don't have a workable mRNA.
	That's true, they still don't have one.
	But assuming that they had, they thought they had one here, it was obvious to everybody that Pfizer-BioNTech had to have taken the same idea and just tweaked it.
	It has to be a patent violation.
	Hold on a second.
	It had to be.
	How about this idea?
	Pfizer puts up kind of a weak fight just before we find out how lethal this is to certain people or age groups.
	And then, well hey, Moderna's patent How about that one?
	Would that work?
	Would that be possible?
	It wouldn't work.
	I think it might work if... but since Moderna triggered this, they'd be asking for trouble.
	Well, they're dumb!
	I mean, this is what's beautiful.
	How come they didn't sue right away?
	Why did it take this long?
	That's the question I have to ask.
	Well, what they said was they didn't want to have any patent fight while the pandemic was still raging.
	Oh, that's what it is.
	Okay, we'll just take half your profits.
	Yeah, kind of that.
	So meanwhile, in California, at least, I don't know if you've got these out there, we've got Comirnaty ads.
	Finally, it's like the only FDA approved vaccine.
	And they're advertising on television now.
	Have you seen these?
	No, but can you actually get it or is it just an ad?
	Well, it's an interesting ad.
	I'm going to have to record it for the next show if I don't remember.
	Oh, I thought someone sent me that.
	If you got it, you can dig it up and play it.
	But a couple of things.
	One is Comirnaty.
	It's not Pfizer.
	And they say specifically Pfizer-BioNTech.
	They're bringing them in.
	So it's possible.
	And it's only for the teens.
	It's like an 8 to 16 or something.
	It's for kids.
	It's a kid's vaccine.
	They don't advertise it for adults.
	And they're pushing kids because they got to get the kids shot up.
	And then they play all the side effects at the end.
	And it's just like, God, who's going to take this?
	It does this.
	It does that.
	It does this.
	It does that.
	Causes this.
	It causes that.
	So it's honest.
	Um, I know I have this, but I don't know exactly.
	How do you spell Comnardi?
	Comnardi or Comnirardi?
	It's a C-O-M-I.
	Uh-huh.
	N?
	C-O-M-I.
	Well, just C-O-M-I.
	Let's see how I do with that.
	Oh man, someone's... You know, but someone said to me, didn't put in commercial.
	I know, it's like, here's a great ad!
	And you know, try and search on ad, that's always fun.
	Oh, good.
	Here, I'll try this.
	Maybe you'll get lucky.
	It's worth it, because it's... I was for sure... Somehow I thought that you would have that one.
	I don't know, my mistake.
	Yes, okay, so I would like to... Well, actually, I was pretty sure I was gonna have it too, but I didn't.
	What I would like to know is...
	Is that actually what they're giving, or is it still the same stuff?
	I mean, it's the same stuff in the bottle.
	It has to be the real deal.
	And it's targeted, so they don't have a lot of it.
	And it's for kids.
	Hey, kids.
	Just for kids.
	Now with Lucky Charms.
	Nice.
	Just one more Big Pharma.
	I've been on this story, so I'm just going to play a little bit of this clip just to show you how corrupt, how corrupt all these people are.
	This is Bloomberg, and they're doing a story about this fabulous bill that has now enabled Americans to get hearing aids for almost free!
	Almost free!
	Your favorite topic!
	I hate it so much!
	So just to review quickly, real hearing aids are incredibly expensive because of a relatively small market for very powerful miniaturized audio computing devices.
	Nothing has changed in this bill other than people who make much less sophisticated systems, who are already selling them over-the-counter for $500 or $300, and you stick them in your ear, and you connect it to your phone, and it goes beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep, and then all of a sudden your hearing is better.
	They are now allowed to be called hearing aids.
	So people, consumers, thank you Elizabeth Warren, think that they're buying hearing aids, but they're really buying some shit from Silicon Valley.
	And this is how Bloomberg and the medical community and doctors are complicit in this.
	The doctor in this certainly knows he's full of shit, he's lying.
	But we've got something else that could be affecting a lot of Americans very soon, Paul.
	Yeah, I wasn't even kind of had this on my radar until a couple days ago, but, you know, the FDA is coming out and saying hearing aids can be sold over-the-counter, and that is just fantastic, I think, for a lot of people.
	Let's bring in an expert who can help us out here.
	An expert!
	Dr. Frank Lin, Director of the Cochlear Center for Hearing at the Johns Hopkins Public School of Public Health.
	He joins us on the phone.
	Yeah, please note, this is from Johns Hopkins.
	From Baltimore, and we should note that the Bloomberg School of Public Health is supported by Michael R. Bloomberg, founder of Bloomberg LP.
	Oh, that's great!
	So it's Bloomberg with a Bloomberg-sponsored hospital, a school.
	Oh, it's fantastic.
	What could possibly be corrupt about this?
	And Bloomberg Philanthropies.
	Dr. Lin, I mean, to me, this sounds like a big deal because there are a lot of folks out there that can really benefit from hearing aids, but is this going to make it significantly easier and hopefully lower the cost for hearing aids for these folks?
	Oh yeah, absolutely, Paul.
	I mean, this has been eight years in the planning.
	I know it just only came out a few days ago, but it's been eight years in the planning.
	I mean, there are 40 million Americans with hearing loss.
	I mean... Eight years in the planning?
	What the hell?
	What is he talking about, eight years in the planning?
	What does that mean?
	I don't know.
	I mean, it's just... Hearing aids for these folks?
	Oh yeah, absolutely, Paul.
	This has been eight years in the planning.
	There are 40 million Americans with hearing loss.
	From that perspective, that basically means two-thirds, everyone over 70, has a hearing loss.
	As we worked in the National Academies a few years ago, the average cost of hearing aids a few years ago was $4,700.
	$4,700, yes, that was the average cost of hearing aids.
	I mean, from the perspective, that basically means it could be the third largest material purchase in life for the average American after a house and a car, which is just a bit crazy.
	Wow.
	That's perspective.
	That is perspective.
	And having helped my dad many years ago get one.
	They are expensive.
	It was cumbersome.
	And I have to say, sometimes I think the design could be a lot easier, especially for older people who are trying to kind of manage on their own.
	Oh, don't worry.
	Here comes Silicon Valley to the rescue with Lies.
	Tell us a little bit about this move.
	What does it mean for the companies that might get involved in offering it out to consumers and patients who need it?
	Yeah, so you know, one of the reasons why they were, or they still are, so expensive is because of how they're regulated.
	So, the current, or I see now, the past FDA regulations for hearing aids were established back in 1987.
	Oh, that's why they're expensive.
	And back then, they said hearing aids could only be sold to a licensed provider, like an ENT, or an audiologist, or a hearing instrument specialist.
	And listen, that made sense back then, because the only way for hearing aids to be safe and effective was they really had to be properly programmed by selling back, and they're all analog devices.
	Oh, okay.
	Wait, is there some magic that's taking place?
	You know, fast forward 45 years later, not the case anymore.
	So what the FDA is doing now, essentially, I would say really opening up the market, sort of that classic example of smart regulation here, where in the past, because hearing it's going to be sold through licensed providers, you had five manufacturers around the world, really dominated by 99% of the world's marketplace, because new companies, let's say like a, you know, tongue-in-chicken Apple or Samsung, Couldn't really enter the hearing aid market because they couldn't sell directly to consumers.
	With these new regulations, that's what's going to finally allow that to happen.
	So any company meeting the criteria can sell and reach directly to consumers, which you can imagine will, we think, pretty dramatically lower costs and really increase access.
	And more importantly, companies will be designing devices for the end user mind, like the actual person using it, as opposed to being sold to a licensed professional to then resell to the consumer, which can sort of pervert how devices are designed sometimes.
	Okay.
	It's a perversion, the other stuff, what you're talking about.
	It's just the only thing I will say, as a sound guy, it is not, it has not been demonstrated to me that there's any hearing aid worth its salt, I've tried several, that you can stick in your ears, connect to your phone with an app, and that it magically pee-pee-pee-peeps, and you touch some stuff, and oh yeah, and then all of a sudden you hear perfectly.
	No!
	You need a professional for that.
	Maybe there's an aftermarket here for me.
	Hey, did you just get some of those cool Silicon Valley hearing aids and it works for shit?
	I'll help you set them up.
	It's just, it's just maddening.
	It's so corrupt.
	They're so full of it.
	Lies.
	Lies!
	All right.
	Take me somewhere else.
	This is your, uh, let's go, let's go to the moon!
	Oh, yeah!
	Artemis, baby.
	Artemis, where are we going?
	What are we doing?
	Who's on?
	Let me, let me ask.
	Are we gonna fry?
	Are we gonna fry?
	So we're going to talk about what's going on currently, but I was watching the NASA station.
	There's a NASA TV network that doesn't seem to be easy to find, but they have it in the Bay Area over the air.
	So it's an OTA station.
	And if you can get something cool, OTH, you feel great about yourself, don't you?
	OTA going OTA.
	So I watched a briefing of the whole project.
	There's nothing to record, it would be impossible, but I'm going to explain it after we play these Artemis clips.
	I have to say, they have come up with the most convoluted way of going to the moon ever.
	But they're going to launch a couple of dummies... Wait a minute!
	Anything's more convoluted than that tin can they sent up.
	The first time?
	You have no idea.
	I don't think anybody has any idea.
	But when you watch this presentation, it's like, what?
	So let's play what's going on now.
	This is Artemis 1st.
	This is the first launch.
	It's coming up, I think, later this month or sometime soon.
	No, tomorrow!
	Tomorrow!
	Tomorrow, if everything's okay.
	Uh-huh.
	Uh-huh.
	So, but let's just listen to this.
	And they don't mention in this report that they're just sending up two dummies.
	Yes.
	Literally dummies.
	And a Snoopy.
	Not dumb people, but dummies.
	And a Snoopy doll.
	Yeah, of course.
	Here we go.
	There's some lightning hitting one of the lightning towers at the Artemis 1 launch pad in Cape Canaveral.
	That's all I got there on that clip.
	Uh, there was some reason I stopped that clip.
	Let's listen again.
	The lightning hitting the launch pad.
	Let's listen in again.
	NASA says... Oops, sorry.
	Check this out.
	Some lightning hitting one of the lightning towers at the Artemis 1 launch pad in Cape Canaveral.
	Lightning hitting one of the lightning towers is what he said.
	Okay, here's what I...
	When did it go back to Cape... I know it did.
	Oh, Cape Canaveral.
	I was thinking about it.
	Why isn't it... Why did they stop being Cape Kennedy?
	Oh, we've asked this question before.
	I know it was, first it was Canaveral, then it was Kennedy, and then they went back to Canaveral, and I can never remember why, what was wrong with Cape Kennedy?
	What was wrong with that?
	He's the one who started the whole thing, the moon idea.
	But why wasn't it Cape Kennedy?
	Wasn't it because, you know, that Kennedy nephew killed some girl?
	No.
	No?
	Are you sure?
	Well, here's the answer.
	I will consult the book of knowledge for you.
	The Cape was known as Cape Kennedy between 63 and 73.
	President Lyndon Johnson... Oh!
	Oh, so he changed from Canaveral to Kennedy.
	Okay.
	But then who's changed it back?
	Hmm.
	I don't know.
	Uh, the book of knowledge is not helpful.
	It's not helpful, sorry.
	Okay, well, whatever.
	Anyways, it's Cape Canaveral.
	Let's go with part two.
	NASA says the strikes were low magnitude.
	Pretty good to me.
	We're less than 48 hours from a historic moon launch, five decades after NASA's last trip to the moon.
	Isabel Rosales has a preview of the preparations.
	We do feel good about our attempt on Monday.
	The countdown has officially started for the launch of the Artemis 1 mission to its historic lunar journey from Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
	The mission will test a new Space Launch System rocket, Orion spacecraft, and other components designed to make deep space travel safer for humans.
	50 years after the last Apollo mission, the Artemis 1 mission is the first step in NASA's plan to return humans to the moon.
	We're going back to the moon in preparation to go to Mars.
	That's the difference.
	50 years ago, we went to the moon for a day, a few hours, three days max.
	Now, we're going back to the moon to stay, to live, to learn, to build.
	As the launch teams arrived at their stations at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida this morning, all eyes on any potential mishaps.
	Our potential outcomes on Monday are that we could go within the window, or we could scrub for any number of reasons.
	We could have weather, we could have technical issues, or we could have a range and public safety hold, or a combination of any of those.
	Okay.
	I have an answer.
	There was major consternation over the change from the entire geographic area to Cape Kennedy in 1963 because of the historical significance of the name Cape Canaveral.
	Finally, in a compromise in 1973, the name Cape Canaveral was given back to the land while Kennedy Space Center remained as NASA's facility.
	So it's supposed to be the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral.
	Got it.
	Yeah.
	So I thought the space travel was safe.
	Are they worried about this?
	I thought it was no problem blasting through the Van Allen belts in a tin can.
	I thought it was no problem.
	I don't understand.
	Well, they're sending the dummies over, so let's go to clip three.
	If it all goes according to plan, the spacecraft will orbit around the moon, traveling a total of 1.3 million miles over just 42 days before splashing down off the coast of California in October.
	For now, Artemis 1 is one step closer to the moon.
	Its first launch window is Monday between 8.33 and 10.33 a.m.
	Eastern.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	So what they're going to do, if you watch the presentation, is first of all, this is unbelievable by the way.
	This is exciting.
	First of all, they're going to put a space station in orbit around the moon.
	And let it, it's going to be there around the moon in some crazy orbit, but it's going to be around the moon.
	It's going to sit there.
	Then they're going to load it up.
	Hold on.
	What do you mean crazy orbit?
	Why is it a crazy orbit?
	It's not a normal orbit.
	It's something, it's not just around the moon spinning around like a maniac.
	Okay.
	But it's not important.
	Oh.
	Then they're going to take and send some gear to the space station, which will include the lunar lander and a launch vehicle to get them off the moon.
	Ah.
	Actually, get them on, land on the moon, and then the little piece of it will fly back to the space station, where it will hook up with a return vehicle to go back to Earth.
	So they won't, that won't go back, it's going to be hooked up with something else.
	Isn't that kind of, it's kind of what they did the last time, only the... No, they didn't.
	The last time they had a vehicle that had the lunar lander on it and it was floating around in a circle and then it went down, but that whole thing came back.
	Yeah.
	They're going to leave something there, more junk.
	They're leaving this up there because this is going to be a kicking point to go to Mars too.
	This space station they're setting up, it's got docking stations on it for multiple things.
	It looks like two or three of these docking stations from the looks of it.
	And then, in the meantime, after sending those two missions out to load this thing up with an actual lunar device, they're going to send a bunch of gear to the moon and land it there where the whole visit's gonna take place.
	So they're gonna send down a rover and a couple of other pieces of gear to the moon.
	This is another trip.
	Another whole different trip.
	Boom, there it goes.
	And then we have the launch of the people.
	I would think there'd be some people in this space station.
	Women, women, women.
	And BIPOC.
	Birthing people in BIPOC.
	So they're going to be in this and this thing is this missile that they're going to use is going to be a little bigger than Saturn 5 which is cool in and of itself it's going to have the two side burners on it and the solid fuel boosters and it's going to have a cat encapsulated top that is going to be a that's going to be loaded with uh I wouldn't say explosives, but another rocket engine.
	It's like the model rockets where then it blows back and the parachute comes out.
	So if the thing blows up, the whole thing, they can fly off!
	Oh, escape hatch!
	Escape hatch!
	It's a built-in escape module built into the top.
	So then, if this thing goes as planned, this missile's going to take off and the little missile's going to, the little habitat, the funny looking habitat for the space, for the moonwalkers, it's going to fly.
	It's an exit strategy pod.
	It's going to fly into the... and find this space station, which has already been sitting there flying around.
	In a crazy rocket, yeah.
	And it's going to hook to it, and then they're going to get out of that and get into the other vehicle.
	Talk about, you know, points of, you know, this kind of like... Points of failure?
	Where could it go wrong?
	Multiple points of failure.
	This scenario belongs on Apple Plus.
	I'm telling you, I'm watching this thing going, what?
	This is too complicated!
	So they're going to lock into the space station that's up there, and then they're going to get out and get into this other vehicle, which is the one that's going to go to the moon, and it's a two-parter, and so it's going to go land on the moon, and then once they get there, and then they get to all this other gear that's already sitting there waiting for them so they don't have to carry anything.
	And so they're going to go and drive around on the space rover and do whatever they do, get back into the module.
	But in this case, the module breaks in two and the top part of it takes off and leaving the lander behind.
	And then it goes up and then re-docks with the space station where they get into a I don't know what they do after that, but I guess I either switch back over.
	I don't think they take that vehicle, the moon lander, back to Earth.
	I think they take, they jump in their old thing, the old junker, and then that goes back.
	It's so complicated as you watch this.
	I'm sure I got some of the details wrong, but I'm watching this shaking my head going, this is going to take 10 years to just accomplish.
	May I give you some news from the future?
	1963, we changed Cape Canaveral to Cape Kennedy.
	1973, we changed it back to Cape Canaveral.
	Ladies and gentlemen, after the Artemis 1 disaster of 2023, the government house now decided to change the name of Cape Canaveral to Cape Cadaver.
	Cape Cadaver.
	Yeah.
	Please.
	Yeah.
	So it's a convoluted scheme, but the idea is to get this space station up there floating around, and I guess they'll re-equip it with a Mars lander.
	And so the Mars mission is going to be launched from there, or maybe from the moon itself.
	I don't think it's going to be from the moon.
	It's going to be from this space station.
	And so they're going to use that as the go-to place.
	Okay, so just so I understand, the reason why we've never been back to the moon is because the Atlas rocket, the system that we had, was so powerful.
	Saturn V. Saturn V, so amazed balls, yet somehow we don't have the technology, we can't afford it, we lost it, we destroyed it, I've heard every version of it.
	Chopped it up.
	Is this Artemis, does it have the same thrust?
	More.
	It has more thrust?
	Then a Saturn V. Really?
	That's what they said.
	Wow, so does it cost more than the original Saturn V?
	Well, I hope so.
	And how does this make Americans feel better who can't heat their homes or drive their cars due to the financial situation and the energy cost?
	and we're blowing this shit just in the air.
	I don't know.
	Is this supposed to lift our spirits?
	Oh, yeah, Murica.
	It's gonna taste so convoluted.
	It's not like spiking the football, that's for sure.
	It's nothing you can just do.
	I know, it's just like, it's like Murica.
	Who cares?
	We want to eat.
	We gotta go through this rigmarole to get to the moon this time with the thing and the spaceship and the different changes from one taxi to another.
	Oh, yeah.
	The tractors, yeah.
	Anyway.
	Did you have a final clip about it?
	So that's my understanding of it.
	So it's a little bit It's elaborate, let's put it that way.
	And it's gotta cost a mint because of all these extra steps.
	It's not like you're just jumping in a rocket and going to the moon.
	Oh man, I can't wait to see this video.
	I just can't wait.
	I can't wait to see what they've done this time.
	You know, we had some, and I think they have admitted this, we've had some major solar activity recently.
	Oh yeah, it just screws up, Washington State gets hit hard and it screws up the cell towers.
	Cell towers, radio transmission, sometimes transformers catch fire.
	The Russians couldn't do their spacewalk or the space station.
	You know, their suits were malfunctioning.
	Had to drag them back.
	And so when they say, you know, we have to make sure that we can get people to the moon safely.
	I don't know, man.
	I'm just saying.
	I don't know.
	I'm old enough to remember being awoken by my parents at four or five years of age.
	Look at this!
	Okay.
	I want to sleep.
	They're on the moon, son.
	Isn't it great?
	Yeah, I bought into it.
	Okay.
	I thought it was fun.
	But this approach they're taking, which again I think has to do with they really want to send somebody to Mars.
	Elon Musk, he wants to go.
	Well the question is, is NASA sending to Mars, or is Elon sending?
	Who's doing the Mars?
	Because this is not SpaceX, this is NASA.
	Yeah.
	Right.
	So, but is NASA gonna send people?
	Are they in competition with Elon?
	Well, I think if they got the same kind of, you know, if they release the specifics, the schematics of the So technically, Artemis puts the docking station in place and then Elon goes right after it and just becomes a squatter?
	You know, I think it's probably possible.
	to someplace else.
	So technically, Artemis puts the docking station in place and then Elon goes right after it and just becomes a squatter?
	You know, I think it's probably possible.
	Why not?
	With that, I'd like to thank you for your courage Say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in Cape Canaveral.
	Ladies and gentlemen, please say hello to my friend on the other end, Mr. John C. Dvorak!
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry.
	In the morning, all ships receive boats on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
	In the morning to the trolls over there in the troll room.
	Let's see how many trolls we got here today.
	It's very, you know, I'm, you know how when you have a different keyboard, you can't quite find the keys?
	I'm experiencing this right now, sometimes a little different.
	Alright, hey trolls, let's see, how many do we have in there?
	Oh, uh-oh, what happened there?
	1,093?
	It's just like, it's like trolls died!
	Well, Sunday should be 21, 2200.
	What happened?
	Oh, that, no, 20, what, 24, did I read it wrong?
	Okay, hold on a second.
	Oh, I'm sorry, 2,450.
	That's a good number.
	That's a great number, scared me from it.
	Now, before we move on, tell me a little bit about your experience with the newsletter, because you sent out another... Turns out to be a normal, it was a normal send.
	There's this one anomaly, which I didn't get a bunch of kickbacks because the numbers are almost identical.
	And we had lousy response.
	It was just a lousy week that nobody donated.
	I mean, a few people donated.
	Hold on a second.
	You sent a second letter that it looked like there was some suppression.
	What I saw here, I always get auto replies when I send a newsletter out.
	I usually get about six of them.
	Auto reply, auto reply.
	You're not in the office.
	I'm not on the weekend.
	I'll read it on Monday.
	So these auto replies come in.
	The only one came in.
	So I figured, oh, this is no good.
	This must not be hitting anything.
	But the overall numbers are almost identical to a normal send.
	Huh.
	It was, but the.
	I I don't know.
	This is a bit... I don't know.
	I have one subscription through Gmail, and that didn't... I don't think that showed up for me, so I was wondering if there was something really... I don't know.
	It was weird, but it's always fun to see everyone immediately like, let's go try and find the newsletter.
	It's so incredibly appreciated.
	So Trolls, glad you're here.
	Thank you.
	And turn your auto-replies back on.
	You know, this apparently is our sophisticated way of knowing if we're being suppressed or not.
	Actually, there's also some graphs I use.
	In fact, yeah, we should have certain people who, you know, around the world... I already do that.
	It's already done.
	But are they aware of your tracking technology?
	There are a number of people that I've assigned, as it were, for feedback.
	They have to send back whether they get a primary... So did they fall down on the job?
	I'm just trying to... No, they were all there, but that's not immediate.
	That comes in... They're not like... I don't call them and say, hey, you got your bail yet?
	No, they get it when they get it, and then they tell... they feedback what...
	Did they get it in the primary box?
	Promotions.
	Gmail in Canada always goes into promotions.
	I got you.
	90% of the time.
	No, I got you.
	Gmail in the United States is spotty, yes and no.
	If you've been getting it consistently, you always get it.
	And they say, I don't get what you're bitching about.
	Gmail has been all over 100%.
	I've never missed a newsletter.
	And then you get ProtonMail, which is spotty.
	Again, it's another one.
	Sometimes people go, I've never had a problem!
	And other people say, I didn't get the newsletter at all!
	I also didn't subscribe to it!
	By the way, it's a funny thing.
	So I'm writing for the DEC Professional back in the 80s.
	Now DEC is the old mainframe computer?
	It's a mini-computer.
	A mini-computer, sorry, yes.
	Digital Equipment Corporation.
	What was the OS for that?
	Uh, it was, uh, uh, variations of, uh, Unix.
	Huh.
	And, um, so...
	I believe.
	What would you write?
	I don't want to get called out like I got called by the historian.
	No, I'm just curious what you would write about for Deck Magazine.
	Vax, was it Vax?
	Oh, I did Trends.
	Vax, Vax, Vax.
	Was it Vax?
	No, no, I was writing, this is the era where they had microcomputers that they brought out.
	They had the Rainbow, if you remember that, and a bunch of other ones.
	No, I wish.
	That's a little before my time.
	Anyway, so the rain, yeah, it was interesting because I've run into, I had, in fact, I got to meet Marshall Brickman, the co-author of a lot of Woody Allen, early Woody Allen movies, because he had a deck rainbow.
	So I went to his apartment in New York and you know... What did he do with it?
	What did he do with his deck rainbow?
	He used it to write scripts!
	It's not, not at all overkill.
	Oh, okay.
	It's easier than you.
	You can edit faster on a computer.
	Oh, yeah.
	It looks basically like an early IBM DOS machine.
	Yeah, it was a good machine.
	Huh.
	The Rainbow.
	Oh, how cute.
	So I wrote one column once.
	Yeah, Rainbow.
	It's pretty popular today.
	I wrote one column once complaining bitterly about this is when the internet, when the email systems are all internet based.
	I mean, they're all, I'm sorry, not internet, but yeah, they're government.
	They're a government.
	And I bitched about, you know, this system doesn't work.
	It's no good.
	And holy mackerel that I get nothing but hate mail.
	I'll bet.
	I was complaining back then, so I'm still complaining, and I see no evidence that things have improved, to be honest about it.
	But okay, I was wrong.
	I don't see any networking on this thing.
	On what thing?
	On the rainbow.
	Oh no, there was no networking back in the day.
	Oh.
	There was no networking when I was a kid?
	No.
	You had a floppy, and you liked it!
	You had a floppy, and it was big, and you put stuff on there, and you liked it!
	Yep.
	Cool.
	Anyway, why do you bring that up?
	To bitch about email.
	Ah, okay.
	To show that I have a long history of complaining.
	Ah, and oh yes.
	If you didn't know that by now, you haven't been paying attention.
	Yeah, but I'd never call you out on it.
	So Trolls, thank you very much for being here.
	You can also join us over at noagendasocial.com.
	And yeah, I've got to talk to Aaron or see if he can make a link available so we can sign up a couple hundred people.
	Get something going.
	Follow John C. Dvorak at noagendasocial.com or Adam at noagendasocial.com.
	And thank you to Capitalist Agenda for bringing us the artwork for episode 1480.
	We titled that The Internet of Dogs.
	That's an interesting piece.
	You know, it was Joe handing out cash.
	You particularly like the three-dimensionality of it, kind of the big hand with the cash.
	By the way, I noticed the bill number, it's a roll of $100 bills, it's AC33000.
	Yeah, I saw that too.
	And Joe has a beer hat on with value for value juice, I guess, whatever that was.
	And maybe it was because we had other choices.
	I like the gummy blades that Tantaniel did.
	The windmill with the gummy blades, you went, eh.
	Interesting was Niko Saimi, is that kind of a new guy on the block who has these almost like cartoon, almost Lichtenstein-esque, how about that?
	Wow, that's good.
	Is it Lichtenstein?
	Yeah, I think you're right.
	And he did it using AI, which is these now these generators can do this art.
	And I guess the question is, do we do we want to even risk AI taking over the artist competition?
	Well, he had his shot and didn't get anything.
	No, because one is where a guy is about to eat a huge cricket, which is just disgusting, and the other one was a dude eating a grasshopper.
	Yeah.
	That's not cool, man.
	So whatever systems he's using, he put in farmer with a hat, probably put that in there, and then he said cricket or grasshopper, smiling, eating, something.
	I don't know, and then the thing cranks out a piece of work.
	But it's, you know, I think if it's competitive, it's competitive.
	I don't care if it's from AI.
	My son is into this stuff.
	He's got a bunch of AI programs.
	Oh, this is a big thing now where you just type in two words.
	You say like...
	You know, John as a dog.
	And then it spits out, you know, something of you looking like a dog.
	Or it could spit out a lot of pieces and you pick one.
	Yeah.
	I'm not a fan of this.
	So you have to have some judgment involved, so it's not just, you know.
	Yeah.
	But, you know, we'll see.
	I'm not going to discourage it.
	I'd like to see if anything comes through that can actually win.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Okay, that's fair enough.
	Uh, what else did we have?
	We had a lot of, uh, podcast movement, artwork, buttons, a lot of people did buttons, with pronouns, which like, meh, you know.
	I don't need to make fun of the pronouns themselves, people do whatever they want, but the fact that, and you know, a lot of Wokorama, stuff like that, 100% fire, fire.
	Oh man, you liked that one.
	No, you think that you are the only person who sent me this?
	One time for the one time!
	I got 20 copies people sent this to me.
	I can't believe you put it in as an ISO.
	This has to be used very sparingly.
	I'm not going to allow abuse.
	I'm not going to allow abuse of this.
	I have used it in today's show, but I'm never going to use it again.
	No, you shouldn't.
	You haven't heard it yet because you just haven't run into it.
	No, and you shouldn't because, you know, this actually, this air horn comes standard with, I think, almost every podcast device.
	Is it on yours?
	Yes!
	It comes standard.
	They give you a whole bunch of standard sounds.
	Yeah, which way to play it?
	One time for the one time!
	Fire!
	Fire?
	Fire.
	Well, that's not very creative.
	You're just pushing a button that was provided to them.
	Yeah, but everybody uses this.
	Never heard it before.
	Well, you've never been to Podcast Movement.
	Yeah, that's for sure.
	Kind of cool to see the Atlantic No Agenda record label podcast for sale, Curry & DeVore.
	I have not heard back, by the way.
	Of course not!
	From the podcast broker.
	Podcast broker.
	I can't, what if, you know, he says, well, you know, we think we can sell it for five million dollars.
	Wow.
	Went real quiet over on that side.
	No, I just don't think that's what is... I think it's worth more.
	They're going to have to come up with some better numbers than that.
	Then we just sell it and walk away?
	Do we give all the donors a little piece of the action?
	No, they'd have to have us on a contract so we make some pretty decent money while carrying the forward.
	No, no, no.
	She says, because it's very clear...
	You give everything, the websites, your jingles.
	Okay, well we can do that.
	And then you just give it to somebody else.
	The email list, you gotta give that up.
	Good luck.
	Hey, here's the hard drive with 80,000 clips we have.
	Enjoy!
	Here's how you do it.
	Enjoy!
	Here's the Beelink.
	Here's the RØDECaster Pro.
	Yeah, you'd have to give that up.
	No, man.
	Well, I don't think people should be too concerned.
	No.
	But by the way, that is not the way you do buyouts, and you're not supposed to do it that way.
	I know!
	I know!
	They're doing it wrong!
	No, the way you do it, it's for people out there that don't know, and probably everybody knows.
	You buy the company out, you fold them in, and then you keep the hosts for a limited period of time so they just don't go out and recreate their old company, because that's what happens.
	Yeah, I won't let them do that.
	Okay, we take no agenda.
	Okay, we've got the Blow Agenda.
	Comes out the next week, and the Blow Agenda show is now... Sorry.
	It's got all the same guys and the same everything.
	We just maybe do some new clips.
	Blow Agenda.
	No, we can probably get Yo!
	Agenda.
	Hey, we could sell No!
	Agenda and get the Yo!
	Agenda guys to host it.
	Now, that's a package.
	We can package them with it, with the whole deal.
	It's going to be great.
	Yeah, they don't want to do it anymore.
	It's going to be great.
	Blow Agenda.
	All right, so thank you very much.
	This was two in a row, actually.
	For Capitalist Agenda.
	Will he make the hat trick?
	Well, you can find out if you're listening live.
	Very rare nowadays for the hat trick.
	If you're at trollroom.io, you can go to Art Generator and just refresh and see what happens.
	If you don't have one, get a modern podcast app.
	Find it at newpodcastapps.com.
	All of the artwork comes by there.
	You've got live notifications when the show goes live.
	Cool one to try out on the, it's a web app, so it works equally well on your phone as well as the desktop, and that's CurioCaster, give that one a shot.
	It also has all the live stuff and transcripts and all the cool 2.0 stuff all the kids are talking about, or not.
	And now, let us thank some of our executive and associate executive producers in our Value for Value system, which is not just a way to fund the show, it's a content programming format.
	Now, of course, it works best when we have the actual note from our top donor.
	I do have it.
	You have Eric Curtis, who comes in with $1,000 from Detroit, Michigan, and we are happy to... Is he a knight?
	Instant knight?
	Is that what's going on here?
	Yeah, he is.
	And you get your pen out, because he's got information.
	New shit has come to light.
	Okay, great.
	I got my pen out.
	ITM.
	It came in this email.
	He said, I'm going to mention this because I like to complain, as you know.
	He sent a note in, but it says knighthood note.
	Never using the word donation in the subject line, making it difficult to find.
	He was excited.
	He was excited.
	He's being a knight.
	He wasn't paying attention.
	Small oversight.
	What do I need to do here?
	I have passed $1,000 in donation.
	In donations, I'm attaching pictures of email.
	I was told to do this in the troll... In the troll room?
	In the troll room, told him to take pictures of every donation or whatever.
	No!
	No!
	Yeah, so he sent a bunch of useless images in.
	Uh, he says, I was told to do this in the troll room, but they are trolls.
	You nasty ass trolls.
	The trolls trolled one of their own.
	What are the chances?
	I would like to be knighted Sir Goat of the Hill.
	Sir Goat of the Hill.
	Alrighty.
	And claim Deep East Texas.
	Okay.
	You don't really get it, do you?
	You don't get the claim yet.
	He doesn't get the claim yet, does he?
	But he can hope, hope to get it someday.
	Sir... I will be... Hold on, hold on.
	What was it again, sir?
	What?
	Sir Goat.
	Of the Hill.
	Of the Hill.
	Okay.
	Got it.
	How stupid is this?
	But... In order to use the escape key on this keyboard, I have to have to hit function...
	What?
	Yes.
	Function, E, and then the escape key.
	No.
	Yes.
	Well, that's dumb.
	Yes!
	What's the brand?
	What's the brand?
	Dude, it's one of these foldable Bluetooth keyboards from Amazon for eight bucks.
	Oh, it's a piece of shit.
	It's a piece of crap, exactly.
	Yeah, like you don't get stuff like that.
	But only the best for the best podcast in the universe.
	Now, he's got a birthday.
	Ah, there we go.
	Okay.
	I'm ready.
	Gotta put him on the list.
	That'll be 49 on the 13th.
	Of September?
	I guess.
	He doesn't say, just says the 13th.
	Okay.
	Yeah, it has to be, because he says, I will be a knight for my birthday.
	I'd like some Gosling's Black Seal Rum at the round table.
	How old will he be on the 13th?
	49.
	Okay.
	Oh, man.
	Okay.
	What does he want for the round table?
	I mean, I got my pan, but I just can't go that fast.
	Yes, for the round table once again?
	Gosling's Black Seal Rum.
	Okay.
	And he's got a jingle.
	And he asks, do I get a jingle?
	If I get a jingle, he wants Manning Burning Buttholes.
	Uh, but that one's been outlawed!
	I don't remember it.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, it has been.
	Well, we have an ISO.
	Otherwise, you're going to have a flame coming out of your butthole!
	Preach on!
	You won't be able to sit down!
	That's the one.
	Anything else?
	Yep.
	Goat karma.
	Okay, here we go.
	Thank you very much, man.
	Congratulations.
	You've got karma.
	We will see you at the round table.
	Eric Curtis.
	You're not?
	No.
	Oh, I'll do this one.
	Sir Henry of Flower Field.
	This was a very nice note that he sent in because he sent in a physical note.
	And I saw this.
	It's a very good note.
	$365 from Austin, Texas.
	Thank you very much, and he has a typewritten note to the No Agenda show, and it's signed Sir Henry of Flowerfield, and right in the middle of this big page it says, this note intentionally left blank.
	Double Karma!
	Is that what it qualifies as?
	Double Karma?
	Even though he... I think so.
	Okay.
	Alright.
	Double Karma it is.
	Here you go.
	You've got So one of the producers sends me a note saying, you're an idiot.
	No, that's nice.
	He says, don't you get the joke that Sir Onimus did with his last short note?
	No.
	That one thirty second note is a short note.
	Okay.
	The big giant.
	Musical note in the middle of the page.
	Oh, it's a short note.
	No, we don't get that because we're podcasters, dammit.
	We're not musicians.
	Yeah.
	You idiot.
	You stupid idiot.
	Oh, wow.
	Rough.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	Thank you.
	But yeah, yeah, it was funny.
	Uh, and we, okay.
	Baron Surfer in Orlando, Orlando, Florida comes in with $340.
	And he sent a note, a handwritten note.
	You can tell.
	Uh, ITM, John and Adam, you guys are great comedians.
	Thank you for your comedy.
	Bingo request.
	One, Obama, you might die.
	Two, rub-a-lizer.
	Three, the drone.
	I guess the drone taking off.
	Yep, got it.
	And then two to the head.
	Plus, karma for John and Adam.
	Love is lit and all that shit.
	Baronet surfer Orlando.
	You might die.
	India, hang out, Mike.
	Standby.
	Thirty-three, thirty-three, thirty-three.
	Rob Eliza out.
	Okay.
	There's your little sequence.
	Okay.
	Stephen Govero is from Missouri.
	Oxvas?
	Oxvasi?
	Sounds like something I plug into my stereo system.
	Hey, get me that Oxvasi cord over there.
	333.33, one of our favorite numbers for executive producers, and you will get that credit today, Stephen.
	In honor of Turing the Magic 33, this eternally jobless millennial who finally has a job would like some exit strategy karma.
	And also some PC building karma.
	Is he gonna build his own PC?
	That's interesting.
	It's doable.
	Yeah, it's very doable.
	It's been a month and I just need a graphics card that works.
	FFS.
	Okay, we'll give you some special millennial karma then, no problem.
	You've got...
	Yeah, it was hard to hold on to all this time.
	Bruno Beaudry in Mascucci, Quebec, Canada.
	I don't know how you pronounce it.
	Quebec.
	No, Mascucci.
	Duh.
	Mascucci.
	Mascucci.
	It can't be that.
	It's too Italian.
	It's got to be something Frenchy.
	Mascucci.
	Mascucci.
	It probably is Mascucci.
	Mascucci.
	333.33 WTC7.
	33 is the magic number.
	69.69, dude.
	NR2D2Karma.
	Thanks to all the producers.
	I am Canadian.
	I'm Canadian, and I moved to Florida five months, five months to the day, uh, ago to escape the communist dictatorship.
	All this thanks to my smokin' hot wife, Lucia.
	Eight years, and we've never had a fight, eh?
	Bruno.
	W-T-C-7 won't go away!
	Three, that's the magic number.
	Oh yeah!
	It's the magic number... 69!
	69, dudes!
	69! 69, dudes!
	You've got...
	Karma.
	Onward to Dame Sarah.
	Sarah Gonzalez from Houston, Texas.
	This donation is in honor of the upcoming 44th birthday of the smoke and love of my life, Rolando Gonzalez, one of our best end of show mixers.
	Very consistent, lovely family, I've met them all.
	He is the best husband and father to our two human resources, who are very cute, Maya and Alice, that I could ever imagine.
	He has put up with the heat and the humidity of the Bayou City, that's Houston, and with me for almost 20 years now, and we never... Oh.
	And we can tell you, Texas has definitely always been this hot and flooded.
	His hitting me in the mouth several years ago has changed our lives significantly for the better, so thank you to the two of you for all you do to keep us sane and awaken a woke world.
	Also, shout out to everyone who came to the Houston meetup this weekend, which was a blast.
	Thanks to Sir Quigley, the cantankerous, for organizing, and I hope to attend many more.
	Happy to say that there was not a bug burger in sight.
	Thank you for your courage, Dame Sarah.
	Thank you, Dame Sarah.
	And of course, your lovely husband, Rolando, is on the list.
	Sorry, I was just getting an email for one of the notes that came in coming up.
	Uh... You're at, uh, Avery Allen.
	Okay, where are we?
	Okay.
	Hello, gentlemen, writes... Avery Allen.
	Miss Avery Allen in Trenton, New Jersey, 333.00.
	Hello, gentlemen.
	Thanks for your valuable services.
	I've been a douchebag for a while, and I... And for that, I apologize.
	Looking forward to... Well, then... Okay, here he comes.
	Looking forward to becoming a knight soon.
	Please give me a de-douche... You've been de-douched.
	Then we have Hierko Groenewegen from Utrecht.
	I do have his note.
	Okay.
	And I did forward it, but I guess it got lost somewhere.
	Hierko says, Hi guys!
	With 28th of August marking my 52nd trip around the sun on a show day, it's a great time to donate.
	A nice dollop of karma will do for jingles.
	Also an early birthday shout out to my fellow Virgo Adam.
	Oh, thank you.
	Coming up next week.
	Uh, may many donations brighten your path.
	Cheers.
	Sir Haco, Knight of the Papal Fiefdom of Utrecht.
	You've got some karma there.
	You've got karma.
	When's your birthday?
	What day?
	September 3rd.
	September 3rd?
	Yeah.
	Is that a show day by any chance?
	I don't know if it's a show day.
	I'm looking right now.
	Is it a show day?
	I don't know.
	It's not, I'm not really like super excited because I'm turning 58.
	It's Saturday.
	I'm turning 58.
	So what?
	Well, it's easy for you to say.
	It is.
	It's very easy for me to say.
	My daughter just turned 30.
	My daughter just turned 32.
	You can't even say that.
	32 is the magic number.
	But you don't have any kids 32.
	Eric doesn't count in this case.
	Makes you feel old, man.
	Hey!
	Let's go on with Surrounded by Idiots!
	What are you doing?
	I'm sorry.
	Forsyth, Missouri, $2.11.12.
	$2.11 and 12 cents.
	Another Dixon Ducks palindrome for you.
	Toward my beautiful wife's damehood.
	We are almost there.
	Please credit this to Temmie Collins.
	She's the, okay, switcheroo.
	Let's make it, let's make that a switcheroo.
	Switcheroo.
	She's the best wife a guy could want.
	She's my keeper.
	Real quick, I'm disappointed the Dixon Ducks donation hasn't taken off.
	It's dicks in ducks.
	Dicks in ducks.
	I love dicks in ducks.
	Fuck a duck.
	Get it?
	That's clever.
	Woohoo!
	Anyway, I could never match the value for value I received from the show, but I'm damn sure trying.
	I was wondering if you guys think I could change my night name before attending a meetup.
	Would it be rude introducing myself as surrounded by idiots?
	Or could I just add present company excluded?
	Would that be okay?
	I love the boots on the ground report from Adam at the podcast, whatever it was in Dallas.
	It was very entertaining.
	You guys add more value to my life than I'm adding to yours, I promise.
	But keep up the good work.
	It's much appreciated.
	Build a better man trap and the rats will beat a path to your door.
	Love a slit and all that shit.
	I love you, I mean it.
	For jingles, I want a noodle gun and a Yak Karma.
	Surrender.
	Crazy.
	You thought.
	This is pizza shield.
	Crazy.
	I got my pasta glock locked and loaded.
	Harm line.
	Entertaining note.
	Tammy will be credited.
	Then we have three in a row of which I have no email.
	If you have one, let me know.
	How do you get three?
	I see Sean Stedman.
	Oh, I'm sorry, two in a row.
	Sean Stedman from Lake Placid, Florida.
	Any email from Sean?
	No, but he gave $202.02, so I'm sure there's some note.
	So I guess that's a double karma then, since we don't have a note.
	That's how it works.
	You've got karma.
	And the same can be said for Kenneth Martin, also associate executive producer with $200 from Thornton, Colorado, and also no note.
	You've got karma.
	And that actually does it.
	Easy does it.
	Very easy does it.
	Thank you to these executive and associate executive producers of The No Agenda Show, episode 1481.
	In case you didn't know it, these credits are real.
	They're recognized by industry.
	Proof?
	Go to imdb.com.
	Go ahead, take a look and just search for No Agenda and you'll see many Hollywood bigwigs and insiders who share these credits with you.
	So if anyone ever questioned this, excuse me, have you seen these people who have the same credit?
	I worked on that project with them.
	How would you say that?
	I worked on that project.
	I worked on that production.
	Can you say production?
	Financed.
	No, no.
	I financed.
	I financed that, okay?
	If you want to sound cool, you say financed instead of financed.
	Regardless, you can also just tout it everywhere, put it in your LinkedIn profile, put it in your Twitter profile, and of course, if you have one, in your No Agenda social profile.
	Thank you so much for supporting the No Agenda Show.
	We appreciate it.
	I would look forward to thanking the rest of our producers in the second half.
	As always, time, talent, treasure is appreciated for the best podcast in the universe.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Order!
	Okay.
	So I have, first of all, we have a couple of, this is a man on the street report with some teachers, new teachers.
	It's not as bad as the UCLA students, but it's pretty bad.
	It's a short clip.
	These are two teachers that have been confronted by a man on the street reporter.
	So, I was a 7th grade civics teacher, government teacher, and she is an elementary school teacher.
	What year did we get our independence?
	17-something.
	I actually don't teach what's in our curriculum.
	I'm teaching children social studies that's not in our curriculum, teaching them things about how to be an anti-racist.
	I taught them about protesting.
	I taught them about Black Lives Matter.
	Oh, wait a minute.
	So, there was man on the street from what?
	Just a TikTok video, or is this a mainstream?
	Yeah, it was a TikTok, I believe.
	But, you know, this woman, she doesn't care when the country is formed.
	She's going to teach them about protesting.
	Okay, that's going to be a great teacher to have, kid.
	Sounds like a winner.
	And here's another one.
	This is just a little snippet of a teacher who is discussing how important it is to be like that last teacher.
	And she doesn't look anything like the typical teachers I moan and groan about, the ones that are freaky looking, that are non-binary.
	This is just a very normal-looking, kind of a stern, Berkeley-type girl.
	And this is what's coming out of Teachers College, as far as I can tell.
	I see teaching as a very political act.
	When we are engaging with our students, whether it's on social justice issues, or multicultural issues, or culturally relevant teaching, I see that as foundational to all learning.
	Immediately, report to the school board immediately!
	Have her removed!
	This is not what you're supposed to be teaching.
	Social justice is the foundation of all teaching.
	So, you know, 2 plus 2 is social justice.
	2 plus 2 is vote Democrat.
	Vote Democrat.
	Now, back to a longer clip which is more interesting.
	This is Paul Giroux.
	Why do I know this man?
	Why do I know this man?
	Yeah, you should know this.
	This is the guy that's created these teachers.
	Oh, right, right, right!
	He's foundational in leftist politics.
	He's the guy who brought in the thinking of the Brazilian Marxist.
	Who is obscure, and I don't remember his name off the top of my head, but he's an obscure Brazilian Marxist who's been brought into the fore by this Giraud guy.
	And he's been going from school to school, and he's got a great pitch.
	It's to promote socialism, aka communism, as best he can.
	And this is one of his little spiels, but...
	I have to say, this guy is, he has a voice that is so well known to me because he sounds exactly like a typical, probably West L.A.
	atheist Jew that would be teaching at Cal.
	They all sound like this guy, and they're all communists, and here he goes.
	Teachers, particularly educators, we have seen in the last two years educators mobilizing.
	And sometimes against their own conservative unions, which I think is fabulous, against gun violence, against a whole range of issues, being dehumanized, being de-skilled, being attacked.
	Librarians are starting to mobilize.
	They have to create a national movement, first of all.
	That basically is on the side of what I call direct justice.
	And what I mean by direct justice is direct action.
	We have got to shut these institutions down.
	I don't mean we need to go to vote.
	That's fine.
	We need to take over school boards.
	You need to do everything you can to make these school boards democratic.
	That's okay.
	But we need a policy of direct action.
	This is nonviolent.
	I'm not calling for violence.
	I'm calling for direct action.
	Occupy banks, occupy schools, occupy the institutions that stop everyday life and use that pedagogically to educate people and to make clear that people are oppressed, being exploited, and the world is coming to an end.
	I'm sorry.
	The planet The planet is in danger.
	This is not an abstract issue anymore.
	If we have 10 years to be able to endure this without food wars, water wars, the entire militarization of the planet will be lucky.
	So time is running up.
	Lastly, it seems to me the social movements have got to come together and they've got to come together under the fear of fascism and the promise of a socialist democracy.
	We've got to stop running away from this word socialism.
	This is insane.
	We want socialism.
	We don't want anybody to be poor.
	We don't believe that education should not be free.
	We don't believe that equality doesn't matter.
	We don't believe that rich people should fight, people should organize and have more wealth than half the planet.
	Sorry?
	No, why should we be apologetic?
	Capitalism is a death march.
	Oh, that's kind of interesting because one of the, some, who was it, uh, someone who won in New York, one of AOC's buddies, and she had a, like a victory, a little victory party in a, in a club.
	And, uh, and this lady's like, socialism wins!
	So, you know, Trump, fascist, socialism wins is exactly what he said.
	Yeah.
	But this is the thinking as fast-talking and the opposite of Ben Shapiro.
	And there's a doppelganger.
	And yeah, socialism, socialism.
	It's the way to go.
	Well, let's check in on socialism for a moment, shall we?
	Let's see how that's going in Los Angeles, according to CNN.
	In Los Angeles County, more than 60,000 people are homeless on the average night.
	And more than 20,000 hotel rooms lie empty on the average night.
	See where this might be going?
	Yeah.
	It's just, it's insane.
	It isn't going to solve the problem.
	We think this is one part of the solution.
	By no means do we think this solves the homelessness crisis.
	But do hotels have a role to play?
	Of course they do.
	So the union he leads, which reps hotel workers, gathered enough signatures and Angelenos will vote on a bill that would force every hotel in town to report vacancies at 2 p.m.
	every day, then welcome homeless people into those vacant rooms.
	That's great!
	Socialism wins!
	It wins!
	Can you imagine?
	I mean, this already happened during the, if you remember, during COVID, during the lockdown.
	Right there in Union Square, hotels had home... No, in other words, it was homeless and first-line responders, and they were a combination of the two.
	This is crazy.
	You know, in the Netherlands, they're doing this now too.
	With the asylum seekers, as they call them.
	They get in hotels.
	And you know what they've come up with?
	We cannot deny undocumented children schooling.
	And you know what they're calling them in Holland?
	These Dutch children who are... I'm sorry, these asylum seeker children who want to attend Dutch school.
	You know what they're calling them?
	Dreamers.
	Wow.
	Literally the English word.
	Dreamers.
	It's a global, it's a global, uh, program.
	We thought it was just us.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	No, no, no.
	Dreamers.
	Well, while we're talking about socialism, then let's go with some stealing clips.
	Oh, yeah.
	We love stealing.
	This is a local report.
	There's stealing in San Francisco.
	From car break-ins to shoplifting, much has been said about property crime in San Francisco.
	And for one set of victims, theft doesn't just come with a cost.
	It's making it hard for the victims to work.
	KFX5's Wilson Walker introduces us to one contractor whose latest job is tracking down his stolen tools.
	Remodel, total interior, addition, front and back.
	From full remodels in the Oakland Hills.
	So this is all a new addition on the back here.
	Two foundation replacements in San Francisco.
	One section at a time so the house doesn't fall down.
	Dan McCann is a city native who built his contracting business from scratch, now employing teams of workers on various sites.
	And for all of the complexities that come with running jobs around the Bay, his work in San Francisco has presented one particular challenge.
	We usually bring the tools home.
	The one day we left everything here, maybe somebody was staking us out and broke the lock off, let themselves in.
	Three jackhammers, concrete saw, a bunch of smaller items, came out to about $14,000 worth of equipment.
	No ladders on it, no pipe racks.
	Plumber Tony Campos is another victim even though he tries to keep his van as inconspicuous as possible.
	I've had a couple jobs like Dan's where we've had all our equipment, all our plumbing gear, all our tools stolen.
	I've had one of my cars broken into in my garage, everything taken from that.
	This is the third time I've been hit pretty big.
	And the third time convinced Dan to take on another job, tracking down his stolen property, and he says it wasn't that hard to find.
	A resale website, and a seller who may not be the thief, but has thousands of items for sale.
	And of course this brings the question to DeFore.
	Where's the police?
	Well, this is interesting that you bring this up.
	I had a conversation with Tina yesterday.
	She was in Austin and she parked, it was a nail salon, so it's one of these kind of neighborhoods in Austin, and you can't park there unless you have a resident parking sticker, which is intended because the residents can't find any parking because all the tourists and the Californians, they come in and they park there.
	And when we were in Austin, you wouldn't park there if you didn't have a resident sticker.
	So she was very worried.
	She said, oh man, this is residence only.
	But then she thought to herself, what am I kidding?
	They completely defunded the Austin police.
	No one's going to tow my car.
	To which I said, that's how it starts.
	Before you know it, you're going to be stealing Gucci bags.
	Smash and grab by the keeper.
	But seriously, on every scale, it works.
	She had a lawless, she's lawless.
	The Keeper is lawless.
	And that's exactly when there's no cops, because they've all been defunded.
	They don't want to be around anything.
	They don't want to do anything.
	And we understand why.
	I understand their mentality.
	It's the cop thinking to himself, why should I do all this work?
	Nobody else is doing anything.
	My department will back me up if anything happens.
	The actual citizens start to attack me.
	Yeah, it's no good.
	No, it's bad.
	Okay, well let's go to part two of the stealing where again we find the lack of police effort being at the front of the line here.
	Go.
	Yeah, so this is the guy who tried to sell me my stuff back.
	You can see here, 2,600 items sold on OfferUp.
	I met up with him.
	Zeroing in on a saw he recognized, he set up a parking lot meeting in which he confronted the seller.
	They demanded proof of a serial number which Dan produced the following day.
	Gave him the serial number the next day.
	He told me I made a fake receipt and he wouldn't meet up with me.
	Told me to call the cops and have them come deal with it.
	The cops want me to find him again before they'll do anything about it.
	So that was kind of frustrating.
	Police say they cannot comment as they now have several ongoing investigations into the fencing of stolen property.
	But they do encourage everyone to record serial numbers and put distinct markings on your tools.
	This is a common and costly problem.
	And not only in money and what those tools cost us, but in time.
	Missing a day of work or missing a couple days of work because we have no tools.
	Big problem for most of my workers.
	Not one to quit on a job, Dan now has a private investigator working to build a case that he hopes to pass on to police.
	It is a mission born out of frustration.
	These burglaries are devastating.
	Contractors like myself, these criminals have made a business off of stealing the livelihood of honest people.
	Hopefully, hopefully we can start catching these guys.
	Yeah, move out of California.
	Move out.
	Well, San Francisco and specifically L.A.
	I think are the two.
	Well, you know that San Francisco has a new program to stop people from leaving San Francisco.
	Well, I have a clip.
	I have a clip, too.
	Is it the same clip?
	No, unless you got it from KPIX, local station.
	I got it from a local station.
	Here?
	Yeah, I was out there just yesterday.
	Here's my clip.
	Tell me if this is the one you have.
	I haven't.
	You're far to go.
	The message is intended to be dark.
	The Texas miracle died in Uvalde.
	The billboard showing a man in a hoodie also comes with a warning to anyone who stops to look.
	Don't move to Texas.
	I get to look at it often.
	I don't think it's in particularly good taste.
	The billboard is meant to highlight the lax gun laws in Texas following one of the deadliest school shootings in Uvalde on May 24th where 19 students and two teachers were killed.
	I didn't realize this was two separate tracks and it's kind of annoying.
	Yeah, I just played mine.
	Oh, you have a better one?
	Okay, what is it?
	A lot better.
	This is a two-parter, California-Texas dispute.
	Oh, yeah, I never should have played mine, sorry.
	Meanwhile, this billboard in San Francisco's Summit neighborhood is turning heads, warns people not to move to Texas after that tragedy.
	There's also a billboard like it in L.A., and we sent Reid Cowan to look into who's behind that message.
	Photo shock.
	I mean, I'm just walking down the street and I was like, wow, I've got to take a picture.
	My family has to see this.
	Sophia Roan is a Texas teacher.
	Just moved here in May.
	And your newest California resident out for a SOMA summer walk.
	I stopped and took a picture because it was Texas.
	I'm from Austin.
	Excuse me, this person's not from Texas.
	This person's from Austin.
	It's different.
	I took a picture because it was Texas.
	I'm from Austin.
	The billboard that caught her eye tells Californians to not move to the Lone Star State.
	So far, it's a mystery who paid for the billboard or why it's up.
	But the message looms large on a day when the Uvalde School shooting massacre makes national news once again.
	You know, you have to be strong in your messaging.
	I mean, this is so important.
	I mean, these are kids.
	These are elementary school kids.
	Good afternoon, sir.
	Jamal Abraham works at the lube oil and filter just across from the billboard, and his customers are asking.
	Who did it?
	How long has this been up?
	And I'm curious to know as well.
	The Texas miracle died in Uvalde.
	And it says, don't move to Texas.
	Don't move to Texas.
	That's a pretty bold statement, you know?
	Don't move to Texas.
	Okay, so that's very mysterious.
	No, we don't know who did it.
	Yeah, they actually tried to find out.
	Let's go to part two.
	KPIX5 reached out to the sign company whose name is associated with the billboard to see who paid for it and why.
	No response.
	So, absent an explanation, those who walk below the message are left to wonder about the sign and the solutions to gun violence.
	It's guns.
	Guns are a major problem in Texas.
	Yeah, that's where the blame is.
	Oh yeah.
	They're not a problem in California.
	Only in Texas.
	Not a problem in New York.
	Only in Texas.
	I declare war on California now.
	Okay.
	Hereby done.
	I declare war.
	Well, here's the stuff you should be bitching about.
	California car laws, clip one.
	California has long had stricter standards than the federal government on emissions.
	New regulations passed Thursday are now the tightest in the world.
	We are going to structurally defund our transportation system.
	Michael Quigley is the executive director of the Fix Our Roads Coalition.
	to fill.
	We are going to structurally defund our transportation system.
	Michael Quigley is the executive director of the Fix Our Roads Coalition.
	He feels a hard deadline of 2035 to go electric will be a tough one to meet.
	We support the transition to the great future.
	We believe that climate change is real and it needs to be addressed.
	However, we can't do it in ways that totally fundamentally disrupt our society.
	The Fix Our Roads Coalition is asking the Governor and California Air Resources Board to identify alternate sources of revenue, but nothing has been announced yet.
	Andrew Campbell, the Executive Director of the Energy Institute at UC Berkeley, says There is talk about implementing some sort of mileage tax.
	There are big challenges.
	The idea of a mileage-based tax would be very difficult to implement.
	Oh yeah, this is always the big one.
	I stopped it there because he's full of shit, this guy.
	Oh, surprise.
	As you know, and I've discussed this before, that you have to take your car in yearly to a smog joint to have a check mark done on the car.
	And at that time, they can look at the computer and eventually give you, I think, speeding tickets and other things.
	They haven't implemented that.
	Right, because they check the OBS port and they suck out the data and give it to law enforcement.
	They can easily do that, but they also have to get your odometer reading, which is illegal to back your odometer up in the state, and it's not that easy on the new odometers.
	You just take the reading and send it to the state, and you get billed at the end of the year, along with your state income tax, for the mileage you went.
	So that's nonsense that you can't do this.
	It's convenient, isn't it?
	I'll take care of it for you.
	They already have the spy system set up, ready to go, and this guy... Maybe what he means is it's not very popular.
	He didn't say that.
	No, but maybe that's what he means by it's difficult to do.
	He's from Cal-Berkeley.
	It seems unlikely that he'd think that way.
	He would think it's popular.
	I mean, you know, you almost got hit by a bicycle just the other day.
	Now, this would not count for electric vehicles?
	Uh, I think it would have to.
	And I think that's what they're going to have to do because they're going to lose, if they go all electric like they claim, they lose a ton of money at the gas pump.
	So no, electric, this may actually be the lead in to nick the electric vehicles for their mileage.
	Ooh, get it done before everyone switches.
	Good.
	Smart idea.
	So let's play the rest of this clip.
	The government knows how much gasoline the gas stations are selling and can put a tax on that.
	The government doesn't know how many miles drivers are driving.
	While the support is there for electric cars, the governor's proposal is one that may see some tweaks.
	Newsom has already switched gears to allow some plug-in hybrid cars.
	Some worry if there isn't flexibility, the ban may have unintended consequences.
	But does the government want to spend more on roads or spend more on some type of social service?
	So there's going to be some tough decisions that will need to be made across those priorities.
	Are we just going to replace oil and gas extraction for strip mining for lithium and cobalt?
	Yeah!
	You know, it seems like this hasn't been fully thought through and a lot of this is about grandstanding for the media.
	A lot of this is about what?
	What do you say at the end?
	A lot of this is just grandstanding for the media.
	Yeah, no kidding.
	Meanwhile, they're taking it very seriously, all this stuff, and so we have this.
	This is my last clip in the California election.
	This is the CalCar Laws gas stations clip, which is like, oh, please.
	Well, since we're on this subject, Santa Rosa became the largest city in the country to ban the construction of new gas stations.
	The city council voted on Tuesday night to put the new rules in place, but they are not just banning new gas stations.
	Their rules also prohibit existing gas stations from adding more gas pumps.
	Santa Rosa now joins four other Sonoma County cities in banning new gas stations.
	The town of Windsor could add itself to the list next month.
	Oh, man.
	This is the Great Reset, John.
	It's not like one hit on the button.
	We're frogs, man.
	We're boiling.
	Yeah.
	Slow, slow boil.
	Now you look at France, where the price of electricity has now reached 1,075 euros per megawatt hour.
	Two years ago that was 45 euros per megawatt hour.
	Doomsday Scenario says the British Post.
	I'll just say press.
	70% of British pubs may not survive winter as power costs skyrocket.
	Oh no!
	It's skyrocketing, is it?
	Let's listen to this.
	Hello, very good morning to you.
	And we start with that breaking news as the energy regulator Ofgem announces the new price cap for fuel bills in England, Wales and Scotland.
	Now, mind you, they had raised the cap for businesses, which is what they now say will put 70% of the pubs out of business.
	This is for people, for people who are renting or homeowners, you know, just individuals.
	You've got gas, you've got electricity.
	Here's what you're probably going to wind up paying.
	So from October, the energy price cap will increase to £3,549.
	That's a huge rise from the current £1,971 per year.
	£549.
	Now that's a huge rise from the current £1,971 per year.
	That's been in force since April.
	Yeah, that's exactly right, Anna.
	It's a hugely important morning, very significant and I think very frightening for a lot of people up and down this country who have been knowing that this price cap is coming, this price cap rise has been coming, knowing that autumn is on its way and feeling very worried indeed about how they're going to pay their bills through the coming winter.
	So we know now just how much that cap is going to go up by.
	by £3,549 a year will be the typical price of an average person's bill.
	That is the cap that Ofgem say, the maximum that they can charge.
	So that's very expensive for people.
	That's quite the increase.
	You know, several hundred pounds per month.
	Daily Express, big front page headlines.
	Boris says, we must endure fuel bill pain to defeat Putin.
	Front page!
	Gotta do it, people!
	How long is this gonna last?
	Meanwhile, as one of our producers predicted, do you remember what they predicted about Russian gas when they stopped shipping it to the EU?
	Our producer said, Putin will run out of storage space, and he'll start flaring the gas.
	And that's exactly what they're doing.
	They have so much gas that they're not shipping, now they're flaring it.
	So just lighting it on fire.
	So part two of the prediction was... If you want to keep up your production, you have to do that.
	Part two, yes, because otherwise you have to shut down and it's very, you know, it's expensive and some may not come back online with the same capacity.
	So part two of this will be that Russia is going to mine Bitcoin.
	That's my prediction.
	Okay, well, that's a good prediction for you.
	I have some Ukraine news.
	You don't have to be so... You could just say... Oh, that's interesting.
	What am I supposed to say?
	Just say it in a different tone of voice, please.
	Oh, that's a great idea!
	Thank you.
	That's my Mickey Mouse voice.
	How about Ukraine BS update?
	Sounds like something we need to be on top of.
	To mark six months of the war in Ukraine, President Biden announced the largest single military aid package for Ukraine yet.
	What?
	Three billion dollars.
	For a look at how this could shape the conflict in the days ahead, we're joined by NPR national security correspondent Greg Myrie.
	I do want to remind you that we had this story on the last episode.
	Greg.
	Hi Don.
	So what is the U.S.
	Well, it just ran yesterday.
	This one did, yeah.
	...to achieve with this very large aid package. Well, it's significant for a number of reasons. The first is just the size. This war is consuming resources at a ferocious pace, and so this is $3 billion, mostly in weapons. The largest tranche previously was about a billion dollars.
	And while the U.S.
	has been rolling out this assistance every few weeks, the aim has really been Ukraine's immediate war needs.
	Short-range missiles to stop Russian tanks or longer-range artillery to counter Russia's superior firepower.
	But in this package, the Pentagon really took a step back and said, what does Ukraine need to sustain itself on the battlefield in the months or even years ahead?
	Here's Colin Call, a Pentagon official, explaining the thinking.
	Vladimir Putin seems to believe that Russia can win the long game, outlasting the Ukrainians in their will to fight and the international community's will to continue to support Ukraine.
	This US AI package is a tangible demonstration that this is yet another Russian miscalculation.
	Okay, I understand this package contains a wide range of weapons, but did anything stand out to you in particular?
	Yeah, there was one.
	It's an anti-aircraft system called NASAMS, and it's intended to shoot down Russian warplanes that enter Ukrainian skies.
	Now, remember early in the war, Ukraine pleaded with NATO to create a no-fly zone, and NATO refused.
	Well, Ukraine has surprised everyone by making the most of its very limited air force.
	Ukraine has shot down so many Russian planes that the Russians have essentially stopped flying in Ukrainian airspace.
	Have you heard that?
	The last bit?
	Yeah, the purpose of the clip.
	You've heard that these great Ukrainian pilots are so damn good.
	I remember when this thing started, they had all the planes grounded.
	And there weren't any Ukrainian planes getting in the air to begin with.
	But now we hear, according to NPR, that these Ukrainians have been shooting down so many Russian planes.
	That's another thing.
	I've always heard that the Russian planes never came into Ukraine.
	They were shooting their long, they had these, you know, cruise missiles they'd shoot off of the jets and then they'd go in, you know, a couple hundred miles and blow something up.
	When did this happen?
	Well, I'm going to play the jingle associated with the title of that clip.
	Bullshit!
	So I was very, like, what are they making stuff up now?
	Well, I'd like to know something.
	One more thing.
	I'd like to know where does the three billion dollars come from?
	Is this an act of Congress?
	Is there money that the president has that he can just give that away?
	So far, I've found zero analysis of where this comes from.
	Ukraine?
	Oh, okay.
	You're not going to get any from me either, because I have no idea where it's coming from.
	I will say this, that if these Ukrainians are so good at shooting down Russian jets, what do you need this last system that they're bringing in for?
	What is that necessary?
	It makes no sense.
	We know the reason why.
	Yeah, I know.
	We can bring it up again if you want.
	Well, tell me why then.
	It's surplus crap to get rid of these guys so we can refund all of these other big military industrial complex companies that have all this stuff in storage that's never been used.
	No, no, it's not in... Well, it may be in storage, but every single base or US base around the world has been packing up their current gear to send to Ukraine.
	Yeah.
	So it's, you know, I don't know.
	Are we effectively now weaponless until this three billion has produced new gear for us?
	Doubtful.
	That's what it sounds like, doesn't it?
	A little bit.
	Look at part two of this clip.
	Now the U.S.
	is providing this very advanced system.
	It's actually the same one that's used to defend the White House and other key government buildings in Washington.
	The Ukrainians will need training on this, but it reflects this longer-term planning to strengthen Ukraine's military.
	But can these new weapons actually change the trajectory of the war?
	You know, Don, it's impossible to say.
	It's been a very unpredictable war so far.
	But for the past two months, since the end of June, the front lines really haven't budged much at all.
	And that said, there are a couple things worth noting.
	Ukraine is now effectively using an advanced artillery system that fires rockets very precisely for up to 50 miles.
	So Ukraine is striking far behind Russian lines.
	They're hitting bridges and ammunition depots and supply lines.
	Things they just couldn't do before, and it's putting the Russians on their heels.
	And Ukraine wants to launch a big counteroffensive on the southern city of Kherson, which Russia captured early in the war.
	Ukraine wants to show that it can do more than just defend, that it can actually take back territory.
	The big US package should seemingly reassure the Ukrainians, but doesn't it also further support that notion that this is just going to be a long war?
	Yeah, it really does.
	You know, we're now six months in and neither side appears capable of a real knockout blow.
	It's just like Afghanistan.
	Yeah, exactly.
	It's just like Afghanistan.
	And it was the same thing there.
	The Russians were in there and we kept just feeding the, you know, we're the ones that created the rebels, the bin Laden types.
	Yeah.
	And kept giving them weapons.
	There's a whole movie made about this, as a matter of fact, starring Tom Hanks as the congressman that was somewhat behind the idea of throwing money at Afghanistan to keep the Russians.
	No, that's Mr. Wilson's War, I think is what it's called.
	Yeah, I think that was it.
	Mr. Wilson's War.
	Yeah, I still think that my cousin worked for the real Wilson at some point.
	That guy was made out to be a hero and he's just a bad guy.
	Oh, yeah.
	Charlie Wilson's War.
	There you go.
	Charlie Wilson's War.
	That's what it was.
	Well, that's all rather distressing that it's, uh, that this bullcrap just, it's just like, and as usual, News Media just treats it like, oh, it's just all good.
	Well, yeah, but they do.
	All right, so your ball's in your court.
	Well, what do I have?
	Remember, I had technical challenges.
	Well, then I got this clip that I carried over from last show, which is a call-in.
	Guy bitchin' and moanin' about one thing or another, and of course it all turns into Trump.
	Let's go to Steve in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
	Democratic caller.
	Hi, Steve.
	Your top news story of the week.
	Hey, thank you, Greta.
	I love talking to you.
	Listen, I grew up in the Sacred City.
	I live here now.
	My father worked at Oak Ridge Gases Diffusion Plant.
	My brother worked at Oak Ridge Gases Diffusion Plant.
	It was dismantled.
	Now, in Oak Ridge, we have Oak Ridge National Lab and the Y-12 National Security Complex.
	Now, everybody that works there has got to have a top secret clearance.
	From janitors, to painters, to plumbers, to the world-class scientists.
	And that's not an easy deal to get.
	And just, what I really want to say is, my brother pees through a ostium because of the work he did out there.
	He lost his bladder, his prostate, his urethra.
	One third of the people working in his division had the same thing happen to them.
	My father-in-law could not breathe.
	He had COPD from working out there.
	I have friends that worked out there that have cancer.
	And I will tell you, with top-secret information, they cannot get even leave their office.
	I have one friend that accidentally threw a piece of top-secret information in the garbage, and she went through hell.
	And luckily, they were able to get it back before it went to the barn center.
	So I think what I'm trying to say is there's been thousands of people who have worked in top secret, mainly in nuclear weapons and other things, that have had serious health issues.
	And if they'd ever even tried to take any of that information out of there, they'd still be in jail.
	So, if you think that one person has a right to take top-secret information from the government, you just need to have a, you know, come-to-Jesus meeting, because Donald Trump just threw thousands and thousands of people under the bus.
	Thank you so much for letting me have my say, Greta.
	Oh man.
	Correction.
	There are millions of people with top secret clearance.
	Millions.
	Millions.
	Two million in DC alone, that whole area.
	It's insane how many people have access to that.
	That's okay.
	I do have two more clips.
	Well, I'll tell you this, he said Donald Trump is throwing thousands of people under the bus.
	Under the bus, that's right.
	I'm so sick of this story.
	It's such a distraction.
	It's the biggest distraction of the week, in fact.
	It overshadowed important news.
	Also breaking tonight, disgraced movie producer Harvey Weinstein has been granted an appeal in New York on his conviction for rape and sexual assault.
	Weinstein was found guilty more than two years ago and has argued that his trial judge made mistakes.
	He's serving a 23-year prison sentence.
	He's gonna get off.
	He's gonna get out.
	Tell me right now.
	Didn't we have that as our thesis from the get-go?
	Yeah, but now it's time.
	Now it's time for him to get out.
	You know, going back to your Zuckerberg clip with Rogan, I'm telling you, he said three or four times in that clip, We didn't do like Twitter.
	Twitter took a different path, you know, unlike Twitter.
	There's something against Twitter, including the new whistleblower!
	Yay!
	Tonight, explosive allegations from a Twitter whistleblower.
	Inside this 84-page complaint obtained by CBS News, Peter Mudge Zadko says there are extreme, egregious deficiencies inside Twitter when it comes to user privacy, digital, and physical security.
	Zatko worked as Twitter's head of security for two years before he was fired this past January.
	What he found inside this company was unlike anything he'd seen elsewhere.
	John Tai is Zatko's attorney.
	Does he still believe that Twitter users are still at risk?
	Absolutely.
	And that's why he reluctantly has decided to become a whistleblower.
	The complaint details multiple respects at which the data and individual users are handled differently than Twitter has said publicly.
	This latest blow comes as the website is engaged in a war with Elon Musk, who pulled out of buying Twitter over concerns about the number of spam bots on the site.
	There was no coordination.
	We've never communicated with Elon Musk or his team.
	Twitter said Zadko was fired for poor performance and said the complaint was riddled with inaccuracies.
	Yeah, it's interesting because Twitter's still at like $40 a share.
	I mean, this is enough to tank the company, but I guess people really believe that Elon Musk is going to have to pay up and pay the $54.20 a share.
	$54.20 a share?
	I don't see how that's going to happen, ever.
	Well, your position has always been that this is bull crap.
	Yeah, he's out to destroy the company, which he's doing, but he's not really, he's not destroying the stock price per se.
	He's not doing a good job so far, but he's got time on his hands.
	You know, it's interesting, I hate listening to Pivot with Kara Swisher.
	Now, Professor Scott is on vacation, probably in Thailand.
	I'm just implicating him.
	For no good reason, just for fun.
	What?
	We know the reason.
	So they've had different guest hosts on, one of which was Monica Lewinsky.
	Now I didn't clip any of this, but I've been listening throughout the past, even when Scott was on, this is how the conversation about Twitter goes.
	Well, he signed a contract.
	This is contract law.
	The judge knows contract law is very strong.
	He's going to suck it up.
	He's going to have to buy the company because it's contract law.
	This judge doesn't mess around with contracts.
	Is that similar to what you might have heard around town?
	I haven't heard much around town, but I can imagine somebody thinking that way.
	When in fact, what you really hear in the Valley is, you know, any contract can be broken.
	But meanwhile, in the same show, they'll say, well, of course you should be able to get debt, student debt forgiveness.
	Just because you signed a contract doesn't mean you have to pay it.
	That's a good one, yeah.
	These people.
	I have my student loan.
	South Dakota's congressional delegation are condemning the Biden administration's student loan forgiveness.
	SDPB's Lee Strubinger has more.
	According to the U.S.
	Yeah, we always got time.
	It's a podcast.
	South Dakota's congressional delegation are condemning the Biden administration's student loan forgiveness.
	SDPB's Lee Strubinger has more.
	According to the U.S. Department of Education, South Dakotans have an average of $32,000 in federal student debt.
	John Thune is the second-ranking Republican in the U.S.
	Senate.
	Hold on a second, stop the clip.
	The clip has stopped.
	He says, this is a South Dakota public radio, he says that South Dakotans have an average 32,000 something student debt.
	That's what he said, yeah.
	Is he saying the entire state?
	That doesn't make any sense at all.
	Let's listen again.
	South Dakota's congressional delegation are condemning the Biden administration's student loan forgiveness.
	This is NPR's local NPR.
	SDPB's Lee Strubinger has more.
	According to the U.S. Department of Education, South Dakotans have an average of $32,000 in federal student debt.
	John Thune is the second-ranking Republican in the U.S. Senate.
	He calls the student debt relief unfair.
	Thune says he financed his college degrees himself. - Well, I finance a lot of it myself.
	I got some scholarship help, but I paid for it with loans.
	I worked hard every summer, saved money.
	I didn't come from a family that could help me.
	But I just, you know, a lot of it was scholarships and loans, like a lot of students around the country.
	Thun attended Biola University in California on a basketball scholarship.
	He graduated in 1983.
	According to the National Center for Education Statistics, the average cost for tuition and fees in the United States for the year Thun graduated from Biola was $2,344.
	was $2,344.
	Biola now estimates its tuition cost per year is over $44,000.
	That doesn't include housing, books, and meal plans.
	Republican Senator Mike Rounds says he has constitutionality concerns about the move by the Biden administration.
	He says he graduated undergrad with about $10,000 in student loans. - I carried it forward.
	Paid it off over a period of about eight years afterwards while I was back in the business community and with a growing family.
	And Jean at that time, she actually came through and had some student debt, but not near as much as I did.
	She was a better saver than I was.
	Yeah, we just paid it off over a period of about eight years.
	Browns graduated from South Dakota State University in 1997.
	The national annual cost for tuition, room and board that year was $2,400.
	SDSU estimates that cost is now over $17,000 a year.
	Republican Representative Dusty Johnson calls the move a slap in the face to those who did the right thing and paid off their student debt.
	I got an interesting note, I'm just seeing if I can find it here, that one of our producers said, you've got it all wrong, that this student debt cancellation will be in fact deflationary.
	Is there an explanation for this?
	Yeah, that's why I was looking for it.
	During the whole clip I was looking for it and I'm sad I don't seem to be able to find it.
	But it was something like, hey, you get rid of the asset and then nothing happens.
	The asset is just gone.
	And I guess the way he deconstructed it, It sounded like, now, the government has already paid the colleges all that money, so it's just the government that needs to strike it off their balance sheet, is that it?
	Or do they actually take the money and then send it on later?
	I don't know how they're handling this on the books.
	But I mean, in general, just with these student loans, is the college paid in full up front?
	I guess that would be, yes, right?
	No, no, the college is already paid, that's done.
	They're paid up, they're done.
	Yeah, interesting.
	Well, I'm going to have to find that... I'm going to have to find that from him.
	Because I was like, wow, really?
	That doesn't sound... It's such a mind bender when you come to just phantom money and the way the government deals with money.
	It's not money!
	It's just balance sheet shit.
	Ooh, show title.
	Balance sheet shit.
	I'm going to show my school by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.

	Go check them out, the No Agenda Meetups.
	They are a phenomenon.
	Completely producer-organized.
	Go to noagendameetups.com.
	If you can't find anything near you, start one yourself!
	Guaranteed a party!
	Sometimes you wanna go hang out with all the nights and days.
	You wanna be where you won't be, triggered or held to blame.
	You wanna be where everybody feels the same.
	Man, I'm really hoping you have something else besides that stupid air horn as your ISO.
	Because that's all I had, too.
	That was gonna be my ISO.
	Oh.
	Yeah.
	Well, I have it, too, so we both agree on.
	Oh, okay.
	Let's see.
	What is this?
	I have a second one, and here it goes.
	It's very muffled.
	We have done the work.
	Nah, I'm not blown away.
	I'm not blown away by it.
	I think we gotta use the air horn.
	Okay, well let's use the horn.
	The horn, let's use the horn.
	One time for the one time!
	You gotta say that, otherwise it doesn't count.
	Alright, let me see.
	Oh, I did have one last clip I think is important to play.
	It may be a little difficult to understand if you haven't seen it.
	I'm going to tell you what it is so you'll be able to hear it.
	There was a protest in London, an LGBTQ plus protest.
	And there was a rift as the lesbians came up the street.
	They were, the TQs, the BTQs, went to the cops and said, we don't want, they're triggering us, we don't want them, they're hate mongers.
	So the lesbians are on the street going, wait a minute, there's an LGBTQ protest and we're not allowed to join that protest.
	And the cop's like, no, and in fact, we're going to tell you to get off the road.
	As predicted, after the removal of the G's, the Gays, and the LGBTQ with the monkey pox, here are the L's.
	No, you can't hear anything.
	Your setup was good, though.
	We get the picture.
	Yeah, and it's unbelievable.
	give us something to say that's the cop at the moment your march this group of people is causing confrontation between different here no you can't hear anything no your setup was good though we get the picture yeah well and it's it's unbelievable and then the the the the btqs they're yelling at the at the l's like triggered yelling like freaking out yelling uh I'll put the video on the show notes.
	It's really too bad because when you hear the cop talking, he's like, no, I'm going to explain it to you.
	You're going to leave now.
	You're getting off the street because you are interfering with their, but we're lesbians.
	And the cop's like, that's fine.
	It's all good and fine, but you're getting off the street now.
	There it is!
	BTQ.
	Well, they're very slowly going to change it to, they're going to take, try to drop that whole LBGTQ blah blah blah to queer, queer nation.
	It's all Q's.
	It's all Q's.
	Well, they can't use Q, obviously.
	obviously.
	No, I can't, but you can say queer.
	You can say queer.
	You can say queer, yeah, but for obvious reasons, it's not going to fly.
	Well, I'm good to go.
	That's all you got?
	You don't have a single final clip for us?
	I have a little abortion clip which is kind of... It's abortion law weirdness.
	It might be good.
	It's only 36 seconds.
	It's fun the way... I just have a little abortion clip.
	Let's roll out the little abortion clip.
	The Justice Department is challenging parts of Idaho's abortion ban, saying it violates federal law.
	Tennessee's ban is nearly identical language as Paige Flager from Member Station WPLN reports.
	Idaho and Tennessee's laws give abortion providers a chance to prove that the procedure was necessary to save the life of the pregnant person.
	But only after criminal charges are brought.
	That's different than an exception.
	The DOJ says that aspect of Idaho's ban violates a federal law requiring hospitals to provide life-saving care.
	A judge agreed.
	Pregnant person.
	Pregnant person, everybody.
	We're lost.
	Lost.
	It's over.
	I don't even know what to say anymore.
	Other than I'm looking forward to our next show.
	It'll be Thursday.
	So that'll be the first, yes, new month, new show.
	Perfect.
	Remember to get your gifts ready for my birthday on Saturday.
	I'm expecting a lot of love this year.
	John.
	How old are you now?
	I will be 58 years young.
	Uh, coming up, we have end of show mixes from Deez Laffs, Neil Jones, our very own Clip Custodian, and Tom Starkweather.
	Next on the No Agenda livestream, I think we have... It's another one of those Battle of the Douchebags, I believe.
	Something cool like that.
	Yes, Boobury, Lavish, Sir Seatsitter, and Sir Ducifer.
	Ah!
	From InfoWars.
	Cool.
	That'll be the Battle of the Douchebags.
	Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, FEMA Region Number 6.
	In the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley, which is FEMA Region No.
	9 for your information, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We return on Thursday here on your NO AGENDA.
	Remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA.
	Until then, adios mofos and such.
	My children, it's a Sunday morning service.
	It's a NO AGENDA.
	Can I get some Adam Curry?
	Can I get a little John C. Dvorak?
	on episode yeah huh it's the return of these last comedy bar at 8 p.m.
	the first of the month, September 22, my friend.
	Come on through, click the ticket link in the bio.
	It's what I'm urging you to do.
	Shout out to my uncle Sayo, with the price of admission.
	Giveaways from Spirit Leaf, a little Italy, and burning sauce, don't be missing.
	What's in the news today?
	I'm on the subway and I'm writing on the TTC.
	Yeah, you know me, fat girl, now she hooks.
	A mess from the trailer.
	Love like Shrek did his best to squeeze into a dress.
	Young Thug and Gunner were indicted.
	You surprised with those names.
	A RICO charge is coming now to find out who's to blame.
	Trans in sports.
	Football's gay.
	They got commercials with slogans like trans kids wanna play.
	Cause they've been demonizing Christ since the beginning.
	Like Donald said, you might get tired of all the winning.
	Roe v. Wade was overturned.
	I said your Roeville is overturned.
	Thank God for more black children being born.
	How is that?
	You're being scorned.
	Rather give a kid a Wi-Fi pass than sell you with an access to porn.
	I mean, killing our kids with too much.
	Let them live.
	These boys can toss a ball, but these men can toss a frisbee.
	We do see in some people who get Pax Lovett, we even see this in people who have not gotten it, that they get better and then they get a rebound.
	President Biden ended his isolation this morning after a second negative COVID test.
	As he left the White House for Delaware, the president told reporters he felt good.
	He experienced a rebound infection last week after completing a five-day course of the anti-COVID drug Paxlivid.
	First Lady Jill Biden tested positive again for COVID in an apparent rebound case.
	She had taken Paxlivid when she first tested positive last week.
	And quite honestly, a rebound after Pax Lovid happened to me, it happened to Tony Fauci, Dr. Fauci.
	You do hear about these rebounds, these Paxlovid rebounds from time to time.
	Rebound.
	From farm to table, food prices are up.
	You know, if you've gone out to a restaurant recently or maybe even a bar, you may have noticed that some menu items are more expensive.
	With Russia as a top fertilizer exporter, prices have shot record highs for the last month.
	You don't need us to tell you that trips to the grocery store are getting pricier.
	Well, we're not expecting a food shortage here at home.
	So basically this food crisis is already in process, in progress.
	It's a slow motion disaster that is already underway.
	Food insecurity goes hand in hand with inflation.
	It's simply not available.
	Fertilizer is simply not available.
	Having risen in cost, the upcoming crop season will be vital for determining future prices of a range of different products, all the way from gasoline to ground beef.
	It's simply not available.
	Fertilizer is simply not available.
	With regard to food shortages, yes we did.
	That's what we're talking about, food shortages.
	And that's going to be real.
	The price of these sanctions is not just imposed upon Russia.
	It's imposed upon an awful lot of countries as well, including European countries and our country as well.
