Time Text
Well, I didn't know this and now all of a sudden I'm due a script.
I'm like overdue already without even being told in advance.
Adam Curry.
John C. Dvorak.
It's Sunday, October 2nd, 2022.
This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1491.
This is no agenda.
I don't know yet, but there's going to be a surprise.
Live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No. 6, in the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where we're all wondering what surprise.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's crack, blood, and buzzkill.
In the morning.
I don't know yet, but there's going to be a surprise.
You know this is going to be the midterm election with a surprise.
There's always a surprise.
No, but an October surprise.
Well, it's always supposed to be an October surprise, and it's October.
Oh, I see what you're doing.
Yes, that's what I'm doing.
I'm waiting for the surprise.
No, that was a reference to October.
Okay, because it's October 2nd, you know.
Yeah, I know.
Well, we still have, you know, a couple days left for the surprise.
I just wonder who's going to have the surprise.
Will it be the January 6th Primetime Purge team?
Or will it be QAnon?
They're supposed to come up with some major new announcement.
Yeah, oh yeah, no, I can feel it buzzing.
There's going to be some news coming out next couple of weeks.
Mark it down.
I'm telling you, it's coming.
It's coming.
It always does.
So you just did the Glenn Beck and Alex Jones show.
I did.
You did Glenn Beck?
I did do Glenn Beck.
But it was the radio show.
That one slipped under the wire.
No, it's the radio show, which I think is actually a good place to... Oh, the radio show's got to be better.
Yeah, to catch new people, for sure.
Yeah.
And Alex heard me on Glenn Beck, and he said, I want to talk to you about the same stuff.
Of course, not exactly the same.
You know, a lot of people won't do Alex Jones Show anymore.
It was a good one-two punch.
I liked the idea.
And I think he invited you last time he did, Beck, but you didn't do it.
Yeah.
But this was probably a good one-two punch because it works better when you have two presentations like that close in.
Yeah.
And I also wanted to support him.
Just like, all right.
Oh, come on.
No, that was nice.
I thought it was... I thought, except for the sound... Yeah, what was wrong with the sound?
I had no idea.
Oh, my God.
Oh, was it bad?
Oh, crap.
Well, here's what it... Here, I explained it to you in a note, but you didn't read it.
The... Here's what it... You can tell me what might have caused it, because by my describing what it was.
Okay.
You sound fine, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
You sounded fine.
Sounds like me.
And then Alex comes in and talks, and you go off... You're now off mic for...
Anywhere from 30 seconds to two minutes.
And then when you come back on, you're way over modulated.
You're just like, you're, you can barely hear you.
And for about one, two, three beats, four beats, maybe two or three, then it goes, it goes right back to normal.
You sound perfect.
Ah, you know what?
Every single time.
Crap.
I think I know what that is.
Because I had to install Skype, which I haven't used for a long time.
And I installed Skype and I'll bet you I left the automatic gain control.
Yeah, because the way I described it was like something on your end was searching for sound and it kept turning up the volume until it didn't make it.
Well, here's the sequence.
So my rig, when I'm not talking, zero dB.
I mean, the noise gate kicks in.
So that's when Skype's going, hey, there's got to be something here.
Let me crank this up.
Yep, that's exactly what happened.
Oh, rookie mistake on my part.
Crap.
Rookie mistake.
Well, it's not a rookie.
You know the error, it's just you have to uncheck that box.
Yeah, I gotta do that.
You'd have been good to go.
And what I like the best is that I was the opening act for David Icke.
I mean, that was like, holy crap!
I mean, this is dynamite!
That's what I thought was funny.
Opening.
Opening for David Icke.
I'm opening for David Icke.
We're taking the show on the road.
In fact, I have an example of what you sounded like.
I was going to use it as a surprise ISO.
Oh, okay.
For today's ISOs.
Yeah.
But I can't resist it now that you know what it was.
Okay.
Let me see which one it is.
I got to find my list.
Is it labeled as ISO?
Yeah, it'd be ISO... I don't know which one, but try ISO ha ha ha.
Okay.
No, that's not it.
Try... Try money.
They need the money.
No, no, no.
There's only two left.
This has got to be it.
This has got to be it.
Yeah, sure.
I can't.
There's only two left.
Yeah, sure, Alice.
Oh, goodness, yeah.
Well, okay.
That's interesting because that's what he sounded like on my end from time to time.
So I wonder... Oh, he sounded fine throughout, though, for two... Right, but you weren't getting his Skype.
I was getting the Skype, so Skype was doing that on both ends.
It could have just been a mismatching codec or something that they're trying to, you know... No, it was what you said it to begin with.
Well, they did the same thing, then.
Well, they fixed his side.
No, you didn't hear it.
I heard it.
I heard that coming through continuously when he started talking.
What I'm saying is that your over modulation came through to the final product and his didn't.
No, I understand.
They didn't fix it, but it didn't go through.
It didn't go through to the final product.
Anyway.
Yeah.
Well, thank you.
I'll take that as a favorable review.
I think he did a good job.
Did I plug us on those?
It was funny though, it was like he cut you loose more or less.
Yeah.
He did come in once in a while, but he was bitching.
He seemed to have some grudge about Beck interrupting you.
I didn't see the Beck thing.
Yeah, that's interesting that, because I noticed that too when he said, well, you know, Beck interrupted you.
So he went on and on.
Yeah.
And he also obviously listened to our last show.
And he said he did.
I'm sure he did.
I'm sure he did.
Because he kept doing what they did on this new podcast with your friend there in Washington, D.C.
who used to do the podcast.
He has a new podcast.
His name, for some reason, I can't remember.
My friend in Washington, D.C.? ?
I have friends.
She said, oh yeah, and they use your whole name.
So Adam Curry, what do you think of this?
So Adam Curry, what do you think of that?
Did you notice this?
Yes, but he does that with everybody, I think.
I've never not noticed it to that extreme.
It sounded a lot like Amy Goodman, because she does that constantly.
I love how he promotes it.
And then now all over Twitter, it's like, Adam Curry and David Icke take on the new world order!
Emergency broadcast!
Well, he did a good job.
They did overlays.
They did a couple of screenshots of our homepage.
Oh, cool.
Laura Third had your name with the website URL.
It's Dynamite.
I mentioned your name twice.
You did?
I heard that.
Yes.
I just said Dvorak.
I don't like saying that, but you always say Curry, so I'm going to say Dvorak.
You didn't say Dvorak.
You said John Dvorak.
Doubtful.
Well, I think you did.
If it was, I would have said John C. I would never just do John.
You may have said John C. DeVore.
That's a different guy.
We all know that guy is not good.
Anyway, okay.
So onward to what we do.
Mark Pugner.
Yes.
Well, I think since it's still top of the news...
Trying to get clips was not the easiest.
Thank you, Clip Custodian.
But here... Kara Swisher.
Kara Swisher.
What about Kara Swisher?
That's the name I was trying to come up with.
Oh, I have... Hey, should we kick it off with a hate clip?
Okay.
From Kara Swisher?
I happen to have one.
Hold on a second.
This is... Let me see, where is it?
Okay, I'm glad I can do this right off the bat.
So this is Pivot.
This is the show that Kara Swisher does with Professor Scott!
Is it still on?
I thought they took it off the air.
No, that show continues.
What's gone is Sway.
That's the show she did for the New York Times.
I mean, she's... Oh, God.
Okay, never mind.
Yeah, well, she likes doing podcasts.
I'm not sure.
I don't know what she's doing.
I don't care.
But I find it important to listen... It's already rubbing off.
I find it important to listen to Pivot because that lets me know very clearly what the liberal intellectual elites are thinking.
And today I'd like to share a hate clip of the thinking that Kara and Scott have about Georgia Maloney.
Now do you think the programming worked on them?
She's the most far-right leader, fascist, most far-right leader since Mussolini.
Ever.
Do you think the programming worked on them?
You want me to venture a guess?
Of course it did!
How far do you think it went?
A hundred percent.
Is that all?
We can't dial it?
Pegging the needle.
We can't.
Pegging the needle.
Also in the news this week, let's talk about Italy's move to the far right.
Giorgia Maloney, who I like to call Mussolina, a member of the Brothers of the Italy Party.
Why do they have these names?
Yes to natural families.
No to LGBT lobby.
Yes to sexual identity.
No to gender ideology.
Yes to culture of life.
No to the abyss of death.
She also used the word financial speculators, which Mussolini used to love to use to refer to Jewish people.
She, of course, was just using it.
A dog whistle, U.S.
politicians such as Ted Cruz have called Maloney spectacular.
Anyway, good for her.
What do you think?
I think this is a bigger discussion than that.
There have always been, women have always, and we don't like to talk about it because we like to assume that everything any woman does is like, you know, benign and noble.
Greed.
And what you have here is the weaponization of femininity, the weaponization of women as a gender, and that is...
Hillary Clinton accidentally comes out and says it's great to see a female leader not having done her homework.
This woman is terrible for women.
She is not only anti-immigrant, she wants to deny women of their reproductive rights.
Fascism is basically you endorse violence against immigrants.
Oh, is that what fascism is, Professor?
Thank you.
What you have is, you know, her less polished, in the interest of a great piece on this, far-right counterparts in the U.S.
Congress, such as Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lorraine Boebert, among others, they weaponize their roles as women, and they basically say that immigrants are importing sexual violence, and no one can, it immediately stops the conversation and scares the shit out of everybody.
And I don't care if it was the KKK, there's always been, white women have always played a key role in the advancement of these terrible, and we have to evaluate people based on their views.
That's correct.
I tend to agree with you here, Mr. Galloway.
And just because she's a woman doesn't mean she's not hateful against LGBTQ people.
And also immigrants, and also Jewish people apparently.
And women.
She wants to take away their rights.
Who gives a shit that she's got indoor plumbing?
She's terrible for women.
She's a fascist.
She's a fascist.
So, well, people immediately knee-jerk and say, oh, isn't it wonderful that we have a female leader?
No, it's not wonderful.
Anyone who destroys the rights of our mothers and our sisters and female immigrants is a threat.
This is very disappointing.
I would agree.
Jeez, stop, dude.
Wow, the guy can't stop talking.
Okay, I don't, you know, we do this every so often.
Yeah.
But you're getting clip of the day for that piece of shit.
Wow, out of the gate, out of the gate, people!
My question though is... And the guy's also profane.
Oh, that's his shtick, that's what he does.
Um, the question is... Is he actually a professor?
Who is this guy?
He's a professor of marketing.
What?
Wait a minute.
Yes!
He's given us all this and he's a professor of marketing?
Yes, oh yeah, he's professor of marketing at NYU, I think.
Yeah, he's a very successful investor, you know.
Oh, yeah, sure.
Because he's a professor, I think he's professor of marketing.
I'm pretty sure, because I've always thought... Oh, now you're, now you're waffling.
No, all right, all right, okay.
Well, you know what we do in the cases like that.
Professor Scott Galloway.
All right.
Wikipedia, don't fail me now, don't fail me now.
New York Stern, Professor of Marketing.
There you go.
NYU Stern School of Business, where he teaches brand strategy and digital marketing to second-year MBA students.
Well, I don't care what this guy has to think.
Why not?
He's with CARA.
Your protégé.
Your fault.
It's your fault?
Unless proven otherwise, it is.
I take full responsibility.
It's your fault.
Isn't that rough, though?
My question, is it because they have only heard the narrative and haven't actually watched any or read any transcripts to know what she said?
And I'm sorry, but for Kerish, we're sure to say because she used the term speculators, which in context was about speculation of the energy markets in the European Union.
Not about some Wall Street speculation.
Well, that is Wall Street speculation, but in context, it was specifically about the electricity prices.
Like what goes on in Texas.
For her to say, oh, you know, that Mussolini used that code, code for Jews.
Come on!
I know, that's a real leap of faith.
That's really pathetic.
Well, that's what happens on these, you know, these shows that don't have suits.
We talked about this before.
Yeah, but do you think that they really, that they, Do I think they're sincere?
Yeah, are they sincere?
They must be sincere.
That sounds very sincere to me.
Of course they're sincere.
But it's just because they haven't really done any investigation, I think.
They just accept, you know, whatever the narrative is.
That's the egregious part.
That's why most of these podcasts, like that one, really have no value to anybody because all they do is parrot, you know, the New York Times in the case of both of them.
It's just New York Times stuff, pretty much.
Totally, totally.
Yeah, so what, it's just useless.
These are useless podcasts.
I think there should be, what's wrong with these useless podcasts?
No, it's not useless.
I find it very useful.
It clues me in.
Well, yeah, for us to mock and ridicule.
Well, it also kind of educates me on how these people are thinking.
And quite frankly, it's kind of disappointing.
While on the topic of what's wrong with these podcasts, I do have one clip.
Oh man, we are just, we're just rocking and rolling on the non-news today.
Okay.
All right.
Yeah.
All right.
What do we have?
This is the, this is what's right.
This is a question for you.
What's wrong with this podcast?
I'm going to play the end of an eight minute daily podcast.
I want to say it again.
Eight minute actually runs about seven minutes with a minute of BS at the beginning and the end.
And here's the end.
And I wanted to ask you what's wrong with this podcast.
This is the CNN Political Briefing podcast.
That's it for today's political briefing.
Thanks so much for listening.
And please take a moment and be sure to follow us wherever you get your podcasts.
CNN Political Briefing is a product of CNN Audio.
Megan Marcus is our executive producer.
Greg Peppers is our supervising producer.
Fez Jamil is our senior producer.
Our episodes are produced by Krista Bowe and Taylor Gaugano.
We'll be back Monday.
Now, it depends on how you look at it.
When it comes to actual production of the audio, there's too many people!
When it comes to producers, they can never compare to our list of producers.
We have three, four hundred per episode.
So, it depends on how you want to look at it.
These are people that are on the payroll from CNN, and they're having to kill all these podcasts because they can't afford doing them.
John, I hate to say it, but there's just no money in advertising and podcasting.
It's a scam.
We knew this early, early on.
It's just not really possible.
The advertising world is not geared up to To deal with freewheeling content.
It has to be controlled, like CNN is doing.
And then, of course, it turns out, if you have, you know, producer, executive producer, assistant to the producer, line producer, then there's just not enough money going around, even though the claim is it's a billion-dollar industry.
Now, bullcrap!
I don't see it.
Where's it going?
Spotify's even getting rid of their firing producers.
Well, it's risky being a podcast producer.
I agree.
It was a very coveted job while interest rates were at zero.
We had free money!
More producers!
Neumann microphones!
Bring it on!
Oh yes, Gimlet.
Yes, that's what happened.
The free money, man.
And now it's gone.
Free money and Neumann microphones.
Wow.
That's the way to go.
Let's get a little update on Hurricane Ian.
I have a backgrounder clip.
I have.
Yeah.
I was going to say, I have a bunch of I had one last time and I couldn't identify it but now I realize I had it called Ian.
But I have.
So you give me your background and I get some raps.
Here's the background and I'll add to that that we have been in touch with many friends of Tina's and it is really bad.
The looting is now starting.
Probably is not reported on.
I haven't looked at the news.
Not yet.
But yeah, so the looting is starting.
They're discovering more and more dead people.
Some of Tina's friends have Like, survivor guilt.
That's how bad it is.
And that's how it gets with these types of events where you have, you know, your neighbor's house is destroyed and you got nothing.
It's, like, weird.
All right, here's the background.
This morning, as cleanup begins from Hurricane Ian, so does the realization of how much it will take to rebuild.
We started to see the water coming through the windows.
I would say it'd take a few days to get everything cleaned, and I'm sure we're gonna lose merchandise.
Ian, one of the most powerful hurricanes to make landfall in the U.S., is expected to have caused upwards of $67 billion in damage.
A large number, but less than half of Hurricane Katrina's price tag of $161 billion.
We floated on a bed all the way up to the ceiling.
We only had a foot of air left.
Hurricane Ian destroyed Halley's rental home in Fort Myers, about a mile from the Gulf.
Our Ginger Z cut up with her.
I don't have a home, I don't have a car, and I don't have a job because I used to clean these units.
I'm homeless and scared.
A recent report found 60% of Florida residents do not have flood insurance.
But help is on the way.
I approved the governor's most recent request for expedited major disaster declaration.
President Biden promising nearly $38,000 for people who don't have enough home insurance and another $38,000 for lost property.
But for many, that may not be enough.
More than 8,700 people already registering for help with FEMA.
It's important that those folks also have the ability to get assistance if they need it.
And it's not just homes and businesses.
Florida produces 70% of citrus, like oranges and grapefruit.
So depending on the damage to crops, experts warn that fruit and juice prices may rise.
Good news?
Economists do not expect the price of oil and gas to rise, as Florida is not an energy producer.
Good news.
Hold on.
Good news.
Wow.
Yeah, they put that in at the end, but out here, nah.
What do you mean?
We have a kind of the, our governor's, well, you know, the Florida thing, it's causing the prices of gas to go up.
No, that's what news people say?
Yes.
Oh, what a douche.
They have been telling us in California that the price, one of the elements, one of the elements, is that the Florida hurricane has caused the price of gas to go up.
Oh man.
Also Putin.
Well, Putin is always causing the price of gas to go up, the guy.
Bastard.
I have a couple of boots on the ground before we do your clips from producers about the Waffle House Index, which we received a lot of feedback on.
After we went on and on about it.
Some good ones.
Just caught up with Thursday's show.
The Waffle House Index is definitely a thing.
Has been for decades in the South.
Here we have Nick.
ITM had a small role in the federal government planning and response to Ian this week.
See, this is boots on the ground, people who were there, or at least part of the planning.
I first heard of the Waffle House Index from former FEMA administrator Craig Fugate in regards to logistics.
He would say, quote, When you're driving toward the affected area and you see an open Waffle House, keep driving.
When you see a Waffle House that's closed and the windows are boarded up, keep driving.
When you see a concrete pad where a Waffle House used to be, stop.
That's where you put the incident support base.
Waffle House is gone.
Yeah, Waffle House is gone.
Here's another producer.
My dad was chief for the Bureau of Emergency Medical Services for the state of Florida.
During his tenure, he worked for, again, Craig Fugate, who was the director, and later would go on to become the FEMA director.
He developed the White House WHI, initially?
I don't know what that is.
As a way of tracking where they could find hot food for the guys who pulled emergency response duties.
Oh, the Waffle House index.
Okay, that's the genesis.
Initially to be able to feed the emergency responders.
Then he noticed the correlation between how quickly Waffle House got back up and running and overall disaster recovery in the area.
If Waffle House was up, they didn't need to focus on as many resources in that area.
Well, that's what a good American story actually, which we thought was a native ad.
It could have still been a native ad.
Well, they deserve it.
But yeah, well, Waffle House, if you're down there, they're everywhere.
It's just like little breakfast shops and they're just everywhere.
Have you ever been to one?
Of course I've been to a Waffle House.
Of course, yeah.
That was a different message from our vice president.
She was more interested in how we're going to serve the waffles.
It is our lowest income communities and our communities of color that are most impacted by these extreme conditions and impacted by issues that are not of their own making.
Absolutely.
And so we have to address this in a way that is about giving resources based on equity, understanding that we fight for equality, but we also need to fight for equity, understanding not everyone starts out at the same place.
And if we want people to be in an equal place, sometimes we have to take into account those disparities.
And do that work?
Yeah.
Do that work.
In a hurricane, everyone starts from the same base level, believe me.
Yeah, well, she wouldn't know.
No.
Equity.
Equity.
I mean, okay.
Well, let's go to some foreign looks at this.
I think we're going to go to Al Jazeera.
Oh, all right.
This is the Ian Rapp one.
Okay.
Over one and a half million homes and businesses have been left without power after Hurricane Ian slammed into the Carolinas.
The storm made landfall in the U.S.
for a second time on Friday, with strong winds causing a surge of seawater in Myrtle Beach.
Ian has now been downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone as it heads to Virginia.
Well, people are still being rescued in Florida, where the death toll from Hurricane Ian continues to rise.
Dozens of people have been killed.
Thousands are still unaccounted for.
The storm was one of the most powerful ever to hit the mainland U.S., as Kristen Salumi explains.
As search and rescue efforts continue across southwest Florida, the full extent of the destruction is now in plain view.
Fort Myers is where the storm first hit land in the United States.
Along this stretch of Florida coast, buildings are leveled and few boats remain in the water.
Here it was the storm surge after the deadly 240 kilometer per hour winds that did most of the damage.
Michael McPhillips rode out the storm in his fishing boat, one of the few now still seaworthy.
It was up, you know, at least 20 foot and, you know, high winds, you know, at least 150 miles an hour.
It seemed like, you know, just a lot of rain and the boat's my livelihood and without the boat you don't have anything.
His father's boat is grounded.
Tuesday we're supposed to put our traps in the water and we have no boats and we don't know if the crabbing is going to be good and we can't get bait.
It's just going to be a bad situation.
Fort Myers residents are taking stock, counting their blessings as well as their losses.
Blessings.
So they haven't, I haven't heard any good estimates of death.
No, that's interesting you bring that up, because I haven't either.
It's over a thousand, so we know that.
A thousand?
Yeah, I believe so.
I hadn't heard a thousand.
Crap.
You're going to hear a thousand.
Yeah, I think this one is much worse than we understand.
Yeah, it was a whopper.
It really was.
That's bad.
This is part two of that same report.
David Yoakum stood and waited in his apartment for hours as the water rose to chest level.
He was with his neighbors, whose small child was in a raft.
We decided we were going to pull the boat out when it got this high.
It got about that high that we never had to pull the boat out.
He was planning to move out of state next week.
Now he and his dog are sleeping in a tent, his vehicle destroyed.
It's not just personal property, but also infrastructure that now needs fixing from Power lines, to water mains, to roads and bridges.
At peak, 2.7 million people were without electricity.
And here in a county of three quarters of a million people, there's no clean drinking water.
Yeah, that's what we're hearing from everybody.
No water.
No water!
I can't get it.
Fort Myers Airport not scheduled to open until the 7th.
Yeah, they're going to do something about the water.
Then I got this, Ian, this one short nine second clip of DeSantis making some comments.
I put it in here.
There was a reason.
I don't remember what the reason is, but can we listen to it?
The Caloosahatchee, the inlets, I mean, the sand, for whatever reason, that really dissipated over the last 24 to 36 hours.
Why was that?
OK, so that's him doing a bite in.
So we know that... Dissipated?
Well, actually, it's a real word.
Did he intend to say that, though?
He meant to say dissipated, I'm sure.
I think he may have meant to say, but dissipated is a real word, but the whole beginning of that, and you can play it again, it's nine seconds.
I want to show that we're objective.
If Biden can mumble and stumble and sound ridiculous, so can DeSantis.
Listen to this.
He's just all over the map here.
The Caloosahatchee, the inlets, I mean, the sand, for whatever reason, that really dissipated over the last 24 to 36 hours.
He's talking about various rivers and he says Amazon.
It's not quite as funny as Grandpa Joe, though.
That's just funnier.
No, nothing is.
I mean, come on.
You get DeSantis, he's probably, poor guy, hasn't slept probably.
By all accounts, he's doing a decent job of keeping this situation under control, state-wise.
We'll see.
It's going to be tough.
Anyway, it's being politicized already.
And of course it's climate change.
We know that.
This is a beauty for climate change.
And who is, you know, one of the biggest climate change deniers?
DeSantis.
So there you go.
This is perfect.
Did you see, I mean, I've seen a lot of these hurricanes.
There was a lot of lightning going on in the eye of the hurricane, which I hadn't really seen before.
I'm sure you saw that.
Is that normal?
Yeah, it's really just like, wow.
Is that normal?
Yeah, because it stirs up a bunch of static electricity.
You're supposed to say... We're walking along the edge of the eye.
You're supposed to say, no, that's only normal when it's created by harp.
Well, that's what you would say.
Well, I wanted you to say it.
I'm not going to say it.
Well, it's a possibility.
You know, whether wars are real, it's hard to think that they would do it to us, to our own people.
I do have a... They're just putting gas in the subway system in San Francisco to our own people.
What?
Years ago they tested some gas in San Francisco on various people.
On people?
In the subway?
Well, it's underground.
They have a lot of underground tunnels.
Yeah, we've been tested a couple of times.
They had a bunch of LSD tested in the San Francisco Bay Area on people to see what they put up with.
Yeah, it's cool if you have a clue, but if you never had any such experience and all of a sudden you're having these hallucinations, you would not think it's cool.
Was there an event that is marked?
Does it have a Wikipedia page?
The day San Francisco dropped acid?
Yeah, there's a bunch of these things.
They take place all over the place, yeah.
I'm always testing stuff on the public.
Alright.
Should we do a little climate change stuff just to get through it or do you want to go somewhere else?
Well, if you've got some good climate change stuff, I've got nothing.
What I have is this Melissa Fleming, who is the Secretary General for Global Communications.
And she did the World Economic Forum podcast, which is a must listen.
It really is a must listen.
And this is about climate change, but it's also about her frustration With Silicon Valley and, well, in particular, I think she's also on board to try and kill TikTok.
Which is a real problem for, certainly for Facebook.
Are you still long on Facebook?
You still really believe that's going to work?
I like Facebook.
I know you do.
But if you are investing... I think it's getting even more... More attractive?
The opportunity is going up.
It's gone down to $136 last time I looked.
I don't know what it is now.
I know.
This is the bottom.
It's a $400 stock.
It's a $50 stock.
$400 stock.
Okay, well, yeah, I mean, they seem to have good contracts with everybody.
Although, let's find out from Melissa.
Now first, TikTok is a problem.
And TikTok is a new platform famous for dancing videos and showdowns of people singing and that kind of stuff.
But it's also very susceptible to exactly what you've been talking about in the disinformation misinformation space.
Hey, did you know that was a space?
The disinformation misinformation space.
I'd never heard of this.
Thank you, World Economic Forum.
I need to go to that space.
Yeah, they're probably managing it.
Right?
Disinformation, misinformation space.
So how do we balance that thing of seeing these platforms suddenly emerge from nowhere and get the users who, you know, some of them with bad faith, bad intention, and sometimes state sponsored, jumping in with this kind of bad content is, you know, how do we deal with that?
And how do you deal with that?
Yeah, I mean, I agree with everything Claire and Rachel said about the phenomenon and also that I can't remember the exact statistic but it's an astonishing number of young people who get their news from TikTok and no other place.
So the responsibility then with that knowledge that TikTok has is huge.
It's even more.
If there is that much mis and disinformation traveling on the platform, obviously they need to do more to address it, but also to educate.
So what I'm sensing here is either a huge narrative being built, or some actual frustration that they cannot control their message on the place where the recipients are living.
They want to have their message, the elite messaging system, go into the ladder.
Yeah.
And by the way, I have not bought into this notion, and I think there's no research to really confirm it, people get all of their news from TikTok.
That assertion does not fly with me.
No, I don't think they get all the news from TikTok.
That's what he said?
No, I hear you.
What I do know is that instead of just searching on Google or Bing, if people are searching for a restaurant or Yelp, they will go to TikTok, search for the restaurant, and then look at the videos of people, you know, the food, the outside, you know, all that stuff.
I'm pretty sure that's happening.
Oh, I'm sure that's happening, too.
That's smart.
So here... By the way, now that you mention it, I realize that I have, you know, we used to always mock Google and say, just Bing it, Bing, Bing.
I haven't used Bing probably for two or three years now.
I use DuckDuckGo.
Yeah, I'm using... What is the thing?
Neva.
N-E-V-A.
Yeah.
I like Neva.
There's also another thing I have, which is Woogle.
Woogle.
I've never used Google, I've never heard of it.
No, Google you load on your server at home and it proxies and anonymizes your request to Google.
So you get it and you get the results from Google but it's all anonymized and there's no ads and it's stealing, stealing from Google.
Yeah, it's stealing.
So here comes the frustration.
Which is interesting that you'd use that, but go on.
I know, because I'm typically not a stealer, but fuck Google.
So this Madam Fleming, again, she's the Undersecretary for Global Communications for the United Nations.
She's very frustrated by some changes that Facebook made, which, you know, to me say that Facebook is not in favor of the global elite, are not happy with what Facebook has been doing.
We fall under a category called civic institutions, which means our starting point, we're downranked.
So our starting point is down here, whereas Joe, conspiracy theorist, you know, can start here.
That's us!
Facebook tries to address this by giving us ad credits so that we can then come back and be at the same place that whoever wants to say anything person is.
But it is an algorithmic shift that was deliberately taken to favor individuals over institutions.
And the institutions who are there to serve the public for good are at a disadvantage.
Facebook?
Facebook not playing nice?
Oh, you poor baby, with all that money?
Well, I think that's the point, because with all that money, she created a partnership with another firm that understands how the game works.
It is, um, yeah, it's educating, it's hopefully elevating the content that, you know, we partnered with Google, for example.
If you Google climate change, You will, at the top of your search, you will get all kinds of UN resources.
Nice!
We started this partnership when we were shocked to see that when we Googled climate change, we were getting incredibly distorted information right at the top.
So we're becoming much more proactive.
You know, we own the science and we think that the world, you know, should know it.
Did you hear that she owns the science?
Yeah, I did hear that.
Let's listen again.
We own the science, and we think that the world should know it, and the platforms themselves also do.
But again, it's a huge, huge challenge that I think all sectors of society need to be very active in.
It's been a really interesting discussion.
I want to bring it to a close with just asking each of you, you know... I'm sorry.
I should have been cut off.
By the way, when she says she owns or they own the site, she's talking about IPAA is what she's referring to.
IPCC.
Yeah.
Oh, IPA is a beer.
Sorry.
She may own some of that too.
Yeah.
So, you know, they think that they're a horrible operation.
Yeah, totally a horrible operation.
Somebody sent me, and this has something to do with it because it's talking about it from the World Economic Forum.
You got this too.
They're going over how they're going to move everybody into, you know, the new society.
Oh, the carbon society?
Yeah, the carbon, you know... My carbon, my carbon, an approach for inclusive and sustainable cities, my carbon, my carbon!
My carbon is me!
It's like my first Sony, my first Mr. Microphone.
Point number one, this guy says it, this noted Sir David, he says, number one, COVID-19 was the test of social responsibility.
A huge number of unimaginable restrictions for public health were adopted by billions of citizens across the world.
There are numerous examples globally of maintaining social distancing, wearing masks, mass vaccinations, and acceptance of contact tracing applications for public health.
Which demonstrated the core of individual social responsibility.
So in other words, they've got the people cowed and everyone's doing what they're told and that's great.
It's always good to remember, I mean, so much has happened, so much that we deconstructed throughout the past two and a half years from early on.
And now super cuts are coming out just to remind us how severe and kind of crazy the programming was in hindsight of knowing that they really didn't know and they really were feigning their authority over what these vaccinations would do.
Here's one.
Look, I don't care what misinformation or conspiracy theories that you have heard.
These vaccines are working.
So please, just get the damn vaccine.
Although I would encourage people to get the damn vaccine and let's get the hell over this.
It's preventable.
Just get the damn shot.
The message has been out there.
Unfortunately, because of fake news and misinformation, it's being combated by that.
But the message is clear, and that is to get the vaccine.
Get the damn shot.
The strongest cognitive dissonance ever for people to just not associate doctor's orders with what actually needs to happen.
Get the damn shot!
That is the message.
It is time to stop coddling them, the ones who won't get the damn shot already.
Get the goddamn shot already.
The basic problem is pretty simple.
We need more damn vaccines.
And look, this is one time.
Forget the conspiracy.
Listen to our government agencies.
These guys are telling the truth.
You know, there's no conspiracy here, folks.
Just get your damn vaccine.
All right.
Thank you, doctor.
Thank you.
Thank you.
We miss that.
We miss that narrative.
Get your damn shot.
Yes, I think so, but obviously it was out there.
They were playing it for a while.
They were getting a little profane.
It seems they were getting off the deep end.
Well, not so.
Well, that was before Cuomo offered burger and fries to get your shot.
Let's remember these moments.
Well, I guess telling people to get the damn shot was more than most people could... It would make you skeptical.
Yes.
But then you get the free french fries.
I mean, hey, let's be honest about it.
This is good stuff.
Free fries.
Oh, before I forget, here's something we totally missed.
I can't believe this.
You remember we had some, like, cannibal stories popping up everywhere?
People were like, oh, you're a cannibal, they wanna, next we're gonna, it's not gonna be bugs, we're gonna eat people.
Like two weeks ago.
We didn't miss it, we just didn't stay on it.
Well, but we didn't miss the obvious.
The obvious.
This was a promotion for the Jeffrey Dahmer Netflix show.
Oh, Netflix isn't that good at this stuff.
I don't... Someone did... John.
I'm sorry.
The coincidence is too big.
Someone launched that... They hired a good PR company with their last money they got for free.
It wasn't close enough to the show.
It wasn't... What?
Well, the cannibal stuff.
It wasn't... The show is just coming out now.
This was months ago.
No!
No, no, this was just a couple weeks ago, the cannibal stuff.
Just a couple weeks ago.
Oh, I don't remember any recent cannibal stuff.
Then again, I'll reiterate, they didn't do a very good job because I didn't even notice anything a couple weeks ago.
Well, it was kind of viral on Twitter for a while.
Which means nothing.
Who knows what Twitter is?
Twitter may be nothing.
Maybe all bots.
Oh!
A lot of bots.
Have you looked through all the Elon text messages?
No.
Oh, no, I read the Atlantic article, which I think highlighted a lot of them.
I put a link to that in the newsletter.
But my favorite is the Jason Calacanis stuff.
Wow, what a douche.
I have it here.
It's an Exhibit F, if you're looking for it.
I put LinkedIn in the show notes.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, Jason Calacanis at a certain, you know, remember he was selling shares or, you know, he's like doing some kind of part of the raise for the, for Twitter.
And then I guess, was it Goldman or Merrill Lynch said, hey, you know, you got to get that Jason, get him to stop doing this.
He's making everything look cheap.
And then Jay's like, my dream job is to be CEO of Twitter!
Put me in the game, coach!
Goodness.
So sickening, but... It's really pathetic.
Even better was the Gale King.
Did you see those?
No.
I didn't report on that, did they?
Gale King.
Let me see if I can find it.
No, they didn't.
It's probably for a reason.
Oh, yeah.
Is there a search here?
Oh, I can't find it.
By the way, for people out there that you might want to explain what happened here, this is all part of discovery.
Everyone has to be totally aware of this and this is the dangers of lawsuits.
It's called discovery.
And so you can request stuff that is very private and something you'd never expected to get out into the public and it ends up as public domain and people get to read it and mock you.
Which is kind of the point of releasing it, I believe.
I think absolutely because if you're getting suited and get discovery and get some all this stuff out there it's it becomes quite funny.
So for some reason this because it's all scanned the search is not really working but I can I can paraphrase it because Gail King's.
Hey, Elon.
Oh, it'd be great to sit down and finally have a talk.
I mean, really great.
Just tell me when and we can come to you or you can come to the studio.
Okay.
Hey, fantastic about all you're doing.
You rock.
And so you can see that he hasn't replied.
Now, as part of Discovery, what happened here?
Is, you know, the discovery is every single email that has, or text message, or anything that has anything to do with Twitter, you have to disclose.
So, you know, so everybody, all these numbnuts checking in.
So anyway, and then she comes back again later.
Let's see if I have it here.
She comes back in with, like, and he doesn't reply, at least it's not in the sequence of the messages.
So a day or two later, she's like, hey, you know, just a waving here, you know, you're great.
Really sickly.
And then, and then, like, a day later he replies to her, but the reply is not, and this is what I like so much about it, the reply is not, uh, oh, you know, let's talk about it, you know, I'll hook my people up with your people.
No.
The reply is, hey, do you think Oprah would want to be on the board?
It's like such an insult to Gail.
That is so funny.
I don't give a crap about your interview desires.
How about your friend Oprah?
Can you connect me with her?
I didn't see any more messages from Gale after that.
It's good reading, but then most importantly, he's talking to his brother, Kimball.
Interesting name, Kimball.
Kimball.
And he's like, yeah, the vision for Twitter is blockchain and distributed.
Wow, Elon!
And it goes with the payment.
So, you know, that way when you pay, it'll stop spam.
And Kimball goes, whoa, that's a great idea.
It's gonna be insane.
It's a great idea, boss.
It's great.
It's like, these are not great ideas.
I mean, this has been done.
This is running already.
The Lightning Network already does this, if you want to.
It's like all of this is already... And then he's like, oh, and we'll have a Dogecoin, could be the currency that we use.
This guy has no clue, at least not about this.
It was really nice to see.
It confirmed that he's just, you know, he's just the Kim Kardashian of tech.
Or as the Atlantic said, Elon Musk techs shatter the myth of the tech genius.
I agree.
I agree.
Particularly that blockchain stuff.
Yeah, he's an interesting character.
And Jason Calacanis, who has all these ideas.
Yeah, you want to tweet to people, you pay $5, and then you get this, and you want to have more people following you, and then you pay another $11 a month, and this will be the per-employee revenue will be more than Google.
We'll be billionaires!
Something like that.
It's just unbelievable.
And Twitter is falling apart.
I think he succeeded in the mission.
The stock price is still there, but I think Elon, I mean, now for the first time that I see this stupidity, he may be in real trouble with this deal.
He may wind up having to pay a lot of money to the shareholders for not even getting it, for not even getting Twitter.
I thought the way the deal was arranged that if he bails out, he had a fee that he had to pay of a billion or two, and that would be that.
And I thought that the whole reason that all this was taking place, because he didn't want to do that, he wanted to get out of the whole thing, but it sounds to me as the way they're wrapping it, or at least the way they're covering it, is that they're trying to nick him for the 45 or 54 billion or whatever it was that he bid.
Pretty much.
Yeah, pretty much.
I don't know.
And the speed at which he was calling around, To get people on board, you know, Larry Ellison.
Larry Ellison's so cool.
Sure, man.
What do you want?
A billion?
Okay.
All right, Larry.
Yeah, Ellison said, billion?
You let me know whatever you need.
Yeah, just as good.
But then he's going after, you know, Sam Bankman Freed, you know, the guy from FTX, like a crypto dude with the weird hair.
It's just, it's, I'm surprised.
I'm surprised how lame this all is.
And people get these ideas about Elon Musk.
It's like, well, I'm sorry, I'm not seeing it here.
At all.
Anyway.
Prediction almost true.
He was there to destroy Twitter.
Twitter will be destroyed.
TikTok needs to go.
Yeah, I like your wishful thinking.
I think it's really... Facebook is... They're shooting themselves in the foot.
Coast!
They're shooting... Coast.
They're shooting themselves... They're shooting themselves in the foot.
Hey, I got a McCullough.
I think it's worth playing because McCullough, he's indestructible.
His reputation is so strong.
He has now put it all together.
He's put together the whole thing.
Not that we didn't know.
Remember he would always kind of couch it like, I don't know why people are doing this.
Why are they doing this?
This is so weird.
It's like there's some mass hysteria of the medical community.
Why are they doing this?
What is going on?
And so now he has a parting shot towards the entire community.
And he says they're probably going to go to jail.
The Republicans come into power in the House.
They'll start to have real strong subpoena power, investigation power.
Senator Ron Johnson's posted over 40 senatorial letters, which are basically placeholders for investigations.
And I think the... Has unsealed indictments.
FDA commissioner is in deep trouble, NIH division director is in deep trouble, CDC director, you know, they're going to have nowhere to hide.
You know, the publications make it clear it was A government operation that created SARS-CoV-2 and the spike protein.
It's the U.S.
government that did it.
And they were working on the threat and working on the response, which was various forms of antigens to be injected or monoclonal antibodies.
But it's clear it's a U.S.
government operation.
The work was done in China.
And there was Chinese collaboration.
You know, Moderna CEO Stephan Bainzel, he was the CEO of BiomerU.
And he built the Wuhan biosecurity lab with the Chinese when he was leading the French company.
He built that lab.
Then he leaves in 2015 and he joins Moderna.
And then Moderna co-writes the patent with the National Institutes of Health.
You probably heard recently Moderna suing Pfizer over the patent.
People ask me about that.
Yeah, Christy, people ask my opinion.
I said, yes, you know, this will all come to light.
It takes a long time to write a patent and patent prosecution takes a long time.
Moderna and the US government wrote the patent on the product a long time ago.
And we knew this because when the crisis was announced in the United States, three days later, Moderna announces they have a product.
How can they have a product in three days?
You can't invent something in three days.
This was planned.
This was all planned.
In Peter Bregan's book, who you mentioned, the Global Predators book, Peter Bregan says that there was, he puts this in his timeline, 36 pandemic preparedness events since 2012.
36.
25 of which generated documents.
And then, you know, Rand Paul could subpoena all these documents easily.
And then six of them were filmed!
These were filmed!
It was clear this was planned.
This was dealing with a threat and a response.
A lot of these are kind of mock scenarios.
There are now three papers, one by Farkas and colleagues, published in Military Medicine, two by Yen in the Preprint Service System, declaring that SARS-CoV-2 is a biological weapon.
Okay, well now... Thank you, Dr. McCullough.
This is an example of a guy that Butterfly Net should come and get him.
He is out of control.
I'm not saying everything, every single thing he's saying is not true, but it's like one of those guys who like stumbles into a, you know... A mafia ring.
Yeah, you stumble into it, you say, oh my God, what are they doing here?
And then you all of a sudden, realization.
Now, the one thing I will say about what we've done on our show is that realization like that does not happen to anyone who listens to this show, because it's gradual.
Right.
We've been introducing the facts of the matter over time as they come along, as we can deconstruct them and as they show up.
And so it's pretty normal.
But to all of a sudden put all this together like a maniac, not knowing some of the little details about what Rand Paul can actually accomplish and what the Republicans will actually do when they get in power, let's say that they do, and I'm pretty sure they will.
They won't do this.
You know, everybody's in the same bed and doesn't kind of get that part of it yet.
So he's gone nuts.
He doesn't understand that it's kind of worth it to kill people to keep the racket going.
Yeah, he doesn't get that part.
Because it sounds outrageous, but I think they're capable of anything.
He's just going on and on.
It's really funny.
Oh, sorry.
No, I mean... And I like the guy, and he's right about everything, but it's because, you know, he's not doing this correctly.
All right, well let's... We can help him a little bit.
All we have is just interesting new information.
And now we're going to turn to our GMA Investigates.
According to the CDC, approximately 2,000 young people die from sudden cardiac arrest each year.
Oh!
Many without previously known heart issues.
This is crazy!
My whole life, I've never heard this in my life.
I'm older than you by a lot, and it seems that I would have noticed this when I was a kid.
In fact, I went through grammar school and high school and college, and I don't know one person who ever had a heart attack at school.
Ever.
Ever!
I don't know one person who's ever had a heart attack at school.
And I have heard though, I remember when there's somebody does that every once in a while and it was a big deal.
There'd be some athlete who... It was usually like drunk driving.
No, no.
Believe me, I remember recalling this story.
It happens about once a year.
Some high school or college athlete dies or had a heart attack on the court and it turned out that he had an undiagnosed heart condition that was a birth defect.
There'd be one of those every year.
That's how often it is.
It was so rare that it got national, almost national news every time it happened.
But now it turns out there's thousands.
Really?
Is myocarditis classified, can it be classified as a birth defect?
No, no.
None of these were myocarditis.
It was always some valve issue or some birth defect or something else.
And then it was undiagnosed.
That's the way it was always played.
And it was a shame.
Quite a shame.
And now we're going to turn to our GMA Investigates.
According to the CDC... They've investigated, so no worries.
The truth is on its way.
Approximately 2,000 young people die from Sudden Cardiac Arrest each year, many without previously known heart issues.
At an increased risk are young athletes.
Faith Ebube is here with the details.
Good morning, Faith.
Good morning to you, Michael.
Studies have shown repeatedly that Sudden Cardiac Arrest is the leading cause of death in student-athletes during exercise.
I talked to parents, I talked to their children, who have experienced some very frightening close calls.
16-year-old Haley Mesh nearly died from sudden cardiac arrest while on the flag football field.
My brain hurt so bad and then like everything went black.
Her doctors say she has a heart condition and survived because she already had a life-saving defibrillator thanks to a heart screening test.
One in 300 young persons has a condition at risk for sudden cardiac arrest.
The risk nearly four times higher in student-athletes, according to Dr. Jonathan Drezner, head of the UW Medicine Center for Sports Cardiology in Washington.
Football player who died.
Died during track and field practice.
Collapsed during basketball practice.
Research shows that up to 80% of kids who suffer sudden cardiac arrest have no symptoms prior.
Now wait a minute, I'm no doctor.
But cardiac arrest and myocarditis, I don't think you can fix myocarditis by shocking them back to life.
You got inflammation.
Does that make any sense?
Well, inflammation is one thing.
I think they're conflating, which I think might be the right use of that term, which I've never had confidence using, a bunch of things into one to get these numbers, to get people to think that this is normal.
Well, of course they're trying to make us think it's normal and that's why it's coming from the CDC.
But the defibrillators, I don't think that solves the myocarditis.
No, if you have a defibrillator and that girl had one, she probably did have some situation that goes back in time.
Right, but the report was about myocarditis.
That's how it started off.
I thought it was just about heart attacks.
No, it started off about myocarditis.
I thought it started off with the cardiac arrest.
And now we're going to turn to our GMA Investigates.
According to the CDC, approximately 2,000 young people die from sudden cardiac arrests each year, many without previously known heart issues.
At an increased risk are young athletes.
Faith Abubay is here with the details.
Good morning, Faith.
There's no mention of myocarditis.
studies have shown repeatedly oh then i'm wrong okay there's no mention of myocarditis why am i thinking i heard that all right here's the uh here's specifically about the athletes but in florida a grassroots effort to try to detect the risk early the non-profit who we play for offering low-cost electrocardiograms for ecgs More than 150 Florida schools require student-athletes get an ECG before they play sports.
Haley's school is one of them.
Her doctors told her that saved her life.
But because of her diagnosis, she's now benched from playing sports.
It's never okay for like a kid to die out of nowhere because they never know.
A terrible heart condition.
Josh Tete also got a heart screening in 2021 and it revealed he has a condition that could lead to a similar fate.
Did you have any symptoms?
No, ma'am.
My whole life was perfect.
We had this screening and they found something within my heart.
What did the doctor tell you?
The only thing I heard was your child could die.
The majority of high schools across the country require student-athletes to pass a thorough questionnaire endorsed by the American Heart Association and a physical exam before playing sports.
If a child is found at higher risk, guidelines call for additional testing like an ECG.
But there is robust evidence that using that model for screening leaves the majority of kids at risk undetected.
We interviewed three students from the Orange County School District in Florida, where ECGs were mandatory for athletes.
They told us they passed their questionnaire and physical, but it took an ECG screening for doctors to diagnose their heart conditions.
The American Heart Association telling us it is supportive of ECG testing for children at the highest risk.
But stands by the current guideline, which considers the latest research findings in patient safety.
The AHA expressing concern the universal ECG screening may miss cases, de-emphasize the importance of proper exams, and place an extra burden on the healthcare system, costing an estimated $2 billion.
Money, they say, could be spent on other potentially life-saving interventions.
It's not a tool for everybody.
The infrastructure is definitely a concern that I have because there's disparities in our healthcare system.
I advocate more than anything for emergency action planning, CPR and AED training.
Oh, goodness.
Just like we never saw anyone with myocarditis die in school, has anyone seen any child be revived in school with a defibrillator that are now everywhere?
Anyone ever seen it happen in an airport?
I'm sure it happens, but it's not that frequent in general, or wasn't.
I had a guy die in an airplane that I was on.
That must have been creepy.
Two.
I had two.
Twice.
Same flight?
Or you just, did you bring your...
Well, the second time I was bothered by this because I'm thinking, geez.
But the first flight was out of Japan, and they had to actually land the plane on a flight.
That took off, and then the guy dropped dead.
And then they had to land the flight in...
Were you near him?
Were you near the guy?
No, he was way in the back.
But there was a big hustle and people were running around like crazy and then there was a... Then we were stuck in the arena and then there was a they have a curfew and so they were really irked about this because the curfew had gone into place and they couldn't take off and they wanted to and so they took off anyway.
Wow.
Never to return.
So they took off and said, screw the curfew.
The other time was I was coming, I was going to Heathrow and coming over the British, some guy had a heart, this guy did have a heart attack and they had to have an emergency landing in Scotland someplace.
So we landed.
And the only thing I remember is, and the guy, they wheeled him out, but the only thing I remember, which was kind of interesting, that if you flew British air back in the 80s and 90s, they would always slam the plane, big giant 747s, they'd slam it into the ground like they're trying to crash it.
And I talked to him.
A pilot about this once says, yeah, those British Air guys, they think when they're, especially in the final landing, they land it.
And I've taken a lot of flights and every time it was like this, they land real hard to see if anything falls off that way they know it, you know, they can get fixed.
And I'm thinking, that's nuts.
So, so meanwhile, I'm thinking... This doesn't make any sense.
I don't believe this story.
It makes no sense, but, but they were slamming these planes down.
They were old World War II guys.
And so, uh, when they landed this plane in Scotland, It was like a feather.
I mean, these guys could land anywhere.
It was a beautiful landing.
I've never experienced anything as smooth.
Well, he didn't want to jostle the body.
He didn't want to jostle this poor bastard.
Yeah, so I had two people, but that's it.
I've never seen in a school.
I've never seen in an airport.
I've never seen in a public place.
Speaking of death, Our producer came through and he has plotted out for us in two graphs available in the show notes, nashownotes.com, vaccination rate versus excess deaths in the European Union, a quantitative analysis.
And I have the results here for you.
And this would, now this of course is the extrapolation from what the data says and we're presuming that excess death related to the vaccine gives us some information.
I'm reading here from the report.
As promised, rigorous numbers on vaccination rate versus excess deaths.
These are official numbers from the EU and our world in data.
And he has sources to both of these data sets.
The first graph shows October 2021 to July 2022.
As one might expect, the vaccines are indeed reducing deaths, or at least that's what we're seeing in the charts.
However, the second graph, March 2022 to July 2022, shows that once the benefits against COVID deaths stop, i.e.
the pandemic petered out, there is a correlation between vaccination rate and excess deaths.
The highest country is 68% I believe that's I think that was Belgium and the lowest is actually minus 5.9% and that would be Luxembourg.
Of course, where all the elites have their homes, their banks, everything.
You wonder if they maybe didn't get the VAX over there in Luxembourg.
It's worth taking a look at.
He has all the countries, all the European countries, of course.
Where is this available?
He did it for us in a spreadsheet.
What will be under what category?
VAERS, V-A-E-R-S.
As in Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System.
It's cool data.
And he has all the stuff there.
Yeah, you have to wonder about which group of elites amongst the elites got the vax.
I think a lot of the Americans all got the vax.
Well, we know the basketball players didn't.
Yeah, that's a theory.
You don't know for sure.
No, I don't know for sure.
I don't.
But I'm just presuming.
A lot of them did get COVID.
Oh, sure!
That would make sense if they didn't get it, especially in the early era.
I'll tell you, this cough is still bothering me.
This second time, Tina had a really dry cough and that's almost gone, but she was coughing so hard her lymph nodes started to hurt.
Long COVID.
Yes, long COVID.
And I have just mucus.
Still there, still there.
I'm not happy.
You sound fine.
I feel pretty good.
I feel good.
Alright.
Let's go to Ukraine.
Why not?
So I don't, I mean the same old same old is going there, you know, with the, what's his name, signing and wanting to go into NATO and all the rest.
But let's take a look at some reports from Al Jazeera again.
And this will be Ukraine inroads, part one.
Russian forces have withdrawn from the strategically important town of Liman in eastern Ukraine to avoid being surrounded.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said the Ukrainian flag is now flying there, but the fighting is still going on.
This is a major setback for Moscow.
The town had served as a logistics and transport hub connecting eastern Ukraine to the north.
It's in Donetsk, one of the regions Vladimir Putin declared part of Russia on Friday.
Al Jazeera's Charles Stratford has more now from Kramatorsk.
Ukrainian soldiers wave their flag at the entrance to Liman.
Footage that Al Jazeera cannot independently verify shows dead soldiers and burnt-out tanks beside the road.
The Ukrainian military said it surrounded the strategically important town in the partially Russian-occupied region of Donetsk.
Hours later, the Russian military said it had been forced to retreat.
There was a high risk of being encircled, so our forces were withdrawn from the position in Liman to more advantageous lines.
Pro-Russia media aired video believed to show a Russian tank retreating north towards Kramina, a town Russian forces still control.
We try to save our strength and control the road between Liman and the town Kramina.
There are reinforcements trying to get in and establish positions in order to stop the Ukrainians.
Ukrainian forces celebrated pushing Russian forces out of one of a number of villages in the surrounding area.
Ukrainian soldiers and volunteers evacuated more civilians from the frontline town of Bakhmut that has come under increasing Russian shelling in recent weeks.
This is the general narrative.
I'm looking at both, also what Putin is saying and whatever Russian media is available.
I mean, this seems to be a dispute.
Did they leave?
Did they pull back?
Are they, you know, they've got the referendum done, they're gonna hang back in that whole region?
Or did they really get kicked out?
I mean...
It's hard to know who to believe.
It sounds as though there was a maneuver at work that was going to surround this group of Russians in this town and they, because of the satellite image or whatever, they got wind of it and saw what was going on.
They had good intelligence and they bugged out.
It was just a bug out and it wasn't like they were pushed out, they left.
In advance.
I think that's the way most of the reports go, and they retrench back someplace else.
Carrying water for Putin again, are we?
Well, somebody is.
Not me.
Do the second part.
Then I want you to hear the propaganda from ABC.
Okay, let's go.
Actually, I got two other clips we probably should play before you go to the propaganda.
Sure, sure.
Well, let's go to Inroads 2.
It's believed from there they will try to push both northeast and southeast towards Russian-occupied areas of Lugansk and Donetsk.
The Russians say this retreat was strategic, but for Kiev and its NATO partners it will be seen as a humiliating defeat.
Humiliating!
Okay.
Yeah, that's the... I think Al Jazeera does a pretty good job on some reporting.
They got good money, it's all from Qatar.
Where are they vis-a-vis Russia, the Qataris?
I think they're pretty neutral.
Yeah?
I think this reporting is fairly neutral.
Are they pro or anti-Iran?
I can't remember.
Oh, anti.
Everybody's anti-Iran.
Really?
Yeah, pretty much.
Okay, let's go to Russia.
This is a clip called Ruski Schemes.
Was that the title of the actual report?
Well, the defeat has prompted President Putin's ally, Ramzan Kadyrov, the leader of Russia's Chechnya region, to suggest that Moscow should now consider using a low-yield nuclear weapon in Ukraine.
Ah, yes, ah, yes.
Mohammad Valin, Moscow has more on what Russia is saying about the withdrawal from Liman.
According to the statement of the Ministry of Defense, is that the forces that withdrew from Liman, they were called allied forces.
So that means that in the language of the Ministry of Defense, these are not Russian troops per se, they are those Ukrainian forces that are loyal to Moscow and now they are considered, of course, after the annexation, of those territories considered part of the Russian Federation, but they call them Allied Forces.
So, I mean, that's a very careful wording, because also the news here that we received before this statement by the Ministry of Defense is that the bulk of Russian forces actually left Liman before this attempt by the Ukrainian forces to encircle the town.
Nobody here inside Russia understands very well the strategy, lots of questions being asked about why are we receiving these setbacks?
What is the exact strategy of the Russian army?
Are these just defeats as can be described as just defeats?
Or is this a strategy for something that is coming?
We know that Russia has a lot of very strategic weapons that it can still use in this fight.
So the philosophy here is that Russia has something that it is not doing yet at that front line.
It is withholding a part of this of its force not just nuclear weapons, but it's strategic traditional Conventional weapons and the question marks here are why is Russia receiving these defeats when it can do better on the front line?
Okay, that's reasonable reporting so well.
How come they did that why they get because they walked away apparently according to you Yeah.
And the guys are all saying, well, maybe something's up.
Yeah.
Maybe.
I don't know.
I'm really not buying into this nuclear war thing.
This is being hyped up irresponsibly.
I agree.
But I just don't think it's true.
And they got the ally of Putin Who is this, the Chechen?
No, he's the Chechen governor down, you know.
Right, so he's just a dude there.
He's just a douchebag from, you know, trying to kiss ass.
Exactly!
He's like the Jason Calacanis to Putin.
Say it.
That's a good one.
Right?
Kinda.
And by the way, I like Jason Calacanis.
I can't help but like the guy.
Well, he's a nice guy.
If you listen to him talk, he's really silent.
You don't have to make fun of how he talks.
You know why?
I only... I refuse... You know me.
I don't make fun of people.
That's why I'm surprised.
I'll say this.
Jason does me all the time.
And I think he sucks at it.
It's not that funny.
It's an imitation of me.
And so I feel obliged to do the same.
I can deliver.
So, just quid pro quo, that's all I've got to say.
Well, you should do a little more.
Should I?
Should I do this?
I wouldn't talk like this otherwise.
Let's listen to the propaganda from ABC Good Morning America.
This morning, Vladimir Putin formally declares that four regions in Ukraine are now part of Russia.
Speaking at the Kremlin, he called the West evil, blaming it for the conflict.
Again, appearing to threaten to use nuclear weapons, saying America created a precedent by dropping an atomic bomb on Japan.
Putin warning, we'll protect our land with all the forces and means at our disposal.
Telling Ukraine to negotiate, he says these four parts of Ukraine will now be Russian forever.
On the ground, a Russian strike on a humanitarian convoy in Ukraine killing more than 20 people, with more than 60 hospitalized.
Most of the images too gruesome to show.
The civilian convoy of around 40 vehicles was heading into Russian-occupied Zaporizhia to pick up family and take them to safety.
By the way, there's two different Reuters reports about that event.
One saying Russia, the other saying it was Ukraine.
Much of the world condemning Russia's move.
The UN Secretary General saying it has no legal value.
It is a dangerous escalation.
It has no place in the modern world.
It must not be accepted.
The US expected to impose harsher sanctions on Russia in response.
The United States will never Never, never recognize Russia's claims on Ukraine's sovereign territory.
Inside Russia, growing unease at the military draft.
Putin now admitting mistakes were made, saying, return home those who had been drafted unreasonably.
But at the same time, moving to stop the wave of fighting age men from leaving the country, by opening up new military enlistment offices near border entry points.
It's always so obvious to me that ABC, you know, it's like, we need to do the propaganda, but we can't actually put it together.
Oh, don't worry, we got a Brit over here.
Don't worry, the Brit, he's read in.
MI6, whatever these guys are.
Yeah, I agree.
Let the Brit do it.
It sounds official.
Oh, there's a Brit.
Oh, this must be the truth.
Must be true.
He's really poor.
I do have a couple of short- He's poor.
I have a couple of shortish clips from our Secretary of Stat, Abe Lincoln, from his 60 Minutes interview, if you'd like to go through a few of those.
I love Abe Lincoln.
Abe Lincoln.
Well, Scott Pelley, CBS 60 Minutes, is going to intro him properly.
After humiliating defeats in Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin told his people that the U.S.
is bent on destroying the Russian homeland.
On Wednesday, he drafted 300,000 reservists and threatened nuclear war.
This is not a bluff, he said.
Ukraine dominated this past week's annual gathering.
So that's Russia stopping right there.
That is just a blatant lie.
It's a lie.
It's a lie.
He did not.
He did say bluff.
He never used the word nuclear.
He never threatened nuclear war.
No.
He did say it's not a bluff, but this was the way Pelley couched it, makes it sound like it was just an affirmation of saying he's threatening war, when he didn't.
Yeah, he said, Niet Bluffsky.
So, this is just a lie.
So I mean, the fact that you're going to base your whole story and the storyline, your analysis, you're going to base your analysis on a lie.
It's really poor form.
And that's what they're doing here.
On Wednesday, he drafted 300,000 reservists and threatened nuclear war.
This is not a bluff, he said.
Ukraine dominated this past week's annual gathering of the UN General Assembly in New York, attended by President Biden and more than 120 world leaders.
Friday, we met the U.S.
Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, to talk about a world of challenges and Putin's nuclear threat.
Wow.
So I think we should lead off with Putin's nuclear threat.
Are we all going to die, Abe Lincoln?
How concerned should Americans be about the prospect of nuclear war?
This line of questioning, it's an anachronism at this point.
When they do this on the 60 Minutes, has anyone told Scott Pelley that people don't care anymore about this, how worried should Americans be about nuclear war?
No one's watching, no one cares.
As far as I know.
Do you know any people in your life who are walking around, ahhh, nuclear war?
No, actually, that's a good point, to be honest about it.
Nobody's saying anything about it.
I may have been brought up in this.
We've been threatened so many times with a nuclear war.
I think we're all... Yeah, it's the boy and crying wolf, and it's like the news media in this case, which has already lost credibility, but then they just make it worse.
There's a term... Just play me one quote where Putin says anything or even uses the word nuclear.
Just play it!
Play the clip!
I don't have a clip.
Don't make me do it.
How concerned should Americans be about the prospect of nuclear war?
Scott, we've heard a lot of irresponsible rhetoric coming out of Vladimir Putin, but We're focused on making sure that we're all acting responsibly, especially when it comes to this kind of loose rhetoric.
We have been very clear with the Russians publicly and as well as privately to stop the loose talk about nuclear weapons.
No!
Privately, the United States has been in communication with the Kremlin about these threats of nuclear war.
Yes, it's very important that Moscow hear from us and know from us that the consequences would be horrific, and we've made that very clear.
You call the nuclear talk loose talk, but isn't Vladimir Putin telling us what he's going to do if he is backed any further into a corner?
Vladimir Putin has a clear way out of the war he started, and that's to end it.
If Russia stops fighting.
That was a nice little mouth guttural thing he did there.
Vladimir Putin has a clear way out of the war he started.
What was that?
What's that about?
I gotta deconstruct this.
He is backed any further into a corner?
Vladimir Putin has a clear way out of the war he started.
And that's to end it.
If Russia stops fighting... He glitched.
The war ends.
You know, I have to stop.
You know, one of the things we do on this show...
Probably to an extreme is that.
It's infantile replaying of little tics and noises people make.
Yeah, but it's like we catch those little laughs that nobody else does, the tell laugh, which we like to, I think is how we describe it.
The laugh tell.
And there's that, and the Fauci wheeze.
And all these other little glitches that these guys have within their commentary, and it's...
Is it good that we do that?
I think it is.
I think it's entertaining.
Because nobody else does it.
It's our brand.
It's on brand for us.
This guy's snorting when he laughs.
All right, now let's talk about the consequences.
Oh no, wait.
Before we do that, this is slick.
This is a blinkin' real slick.
He's going to put an orange jacket on Putin. - Is there anyone in the Kremlin who can tell Vladimir Putin no if he decides to launch a battlefield nuclear weapon? - They have a chain of command, whether it works or not to be seen.
But I think what you're pointing to is a larger challenge.
And that is the Achilles heel of autocracies anywhere.
There is usually not anyone who has the capacity or the will to speak truth to power.
And part of the reason I think Russia has gotten itself into the mess that it's in is because there is no one in the system to effectively tell Putin he's doing the wrong thing.
Isn't that exactly what they say about Trump?
Or said about Trump?
In our interview last week, President Biden told us that he had a message for Vladimir Putin on the use of nuclear weapons.
You want some more?
I've got a couple more good ones here.
Yeah, keep playing.
Consequences of nuclear.
In our interview last week, President Biden told us that he had a message for Vladimir Putin on the use of nuclear weapons.
Don't.
That is such a scary man, that Joe Biden, isn't he?
And what a message.
That's a good point.
That he had a message for Vladimir Putin on the use of nuclear weapons.
Don't. - Thank you.
Don't.
Don't.
To be fair, he did three don'ts.
He went on to say the U.S.
response would be consequential.
What did he mean by that?
I'm not going to get into what the consequences would be.
Any use of nuclear weapons would have catastrophic effects for, of course, the country using them, but for many others as well.
If you can't give us specifics about a U.S.
response, can you tell us that the administration has a plan?
We do.
Is it a plan that would prevent World War III?
Nah.
President Biden has been determined that as we're doing everything we can to help the Ukrainians defend themselves, as we're doing everything we can to rally other countries to put pressure on Russia, we're also determined that this war not expand, not get broader.
He didn't answer the question.
Did not answer the question.
He did not answer the question.
Here's a nice one.
Which is what these guys do very well.
Oh, they do it so well.
But the news guy, it's his problem.
You ask a question, does the sky blue?
And you go, it's green.
Right.
As far as I know, well, I mean, well, that's not really a good example, to say the least.
But beating around the bush about stuff should be called out by the news guy.
Instead, and this is going to be the last one, instead what Blinken does is he brings out the old, wat je zeg, ben je zelf met je kop door de helft.
When Sergei Lavrov says that the atrocities have been staged and it is Russia that is the victim, Tony Blinken is sitting there thinking what?
This is Alice in Wonderland.
It's the world upside down.
Up is down, white is black, truth is false.
But here's the thing, Scott.
All of these words ring totally hollow to every member on the Security Council.
So, this spewing of words is not having an effect.
On the contrary, I think it just shows the total disconnect between Russia and virtually the entirety of the rest of the world.
Virtually the entirety of the rest of the world.
Man, they got no plan for Russia.
They got no plan.
Just screw them.
We'll see how that turns out.
How's that gonna work for him?
I did have boots on the ground kind of relating to Russia from, there was a protest, an Iran protest, of course this is continuing, and I think we may have some circumstantial evidence this is an operation of what's going on there in Iran with the Morality Police, which I'm pretty sure they're not called the Morality Police.
Well we have to confirm that because every news outlet calls them the morality police and around the world.
I know.
France 24 calls them that, Deutsche Welle calls them that, everyone calls them that.
But what are they?
Surely they don't have badges that say morality police.
That doesn't make any sense.
We need someone to tell us definitively.
Maybe they do have badges.
Well, I'd like to know if the unit is called Morality.
That'd be a great badge to have.
Maybe the No Agenda Shop can make them.
Yeah, now you're talking.
No Agenda Shop armbands.
Morality, police, armbands.
Armbands are not a good thing.
Too much?
Okay.
Hans says, I spent a couple hours at the New York City protest today against the Islamic regime in Iran.
I wouldn't say the turnout was enormous, but definitely a lot of people in Washington Square Park.
He sent some pictures with some very professional flags, which I will tell you what was on them.
A few observations.
There were at least two people with Ukraine flags.
I don't think they were particularly welcome, thankfully.
I was hoping they would get rousted.
Maybe I should have done it myself.
Someone tried to start a silence is violence chant which mercifully died very quickly when people seemed to realize how dumb it was.
People tried some hey hey ho ho Islamic regime has got to go chants.
Pretty lame.
Also a lot of say her name chants which seemed to work a little bit better.
Yeah.
So we know where this was coming from.
My personal favorite was the people wearing the t-shirts and the t-shirts and flags Make Iran great again.
This has to be a very weak operation.
It's sounding like it's falling apart.
Well, I do have four clips about the Morality Police per se.
Oh, well, we have to do them before our break because this is, this is, uh... This came up for NPR.
These are NPR clips.
You have to look them up because they're from the last show.
Did you think it was, it's Sunday, I'm going to add them a little, uh, a little present with some, uh, with some Morality Police from NPR.
It's beautiful.
All right.
I got them.
Okay.
Let's go with clip one.
If you live in Iran and you're a woman, you or someone you know may well have had a run-in with the morality police.
So the morality police are these committees in vans that are sent around Tehran and other cities to apprehend women who are, in their view, in the view of the government, not well-dressed.
That's Nahid Siamdoust, a professor at the University of Texas at Austin.
She's a former journalist who covered Iran.
They don't have the proper hijab.
Their hair isn't properly covered.
Of course, what counts as proper depends on the judgment of the sitting government and whichever member of the morality police you happen to run into.
And the sitting government, led by the hardline President Ibrahim Raisi, has been tightening the screws on what's allowed.
If you look at the last 40 years of Iranian, sort of, women's dress, you could almost kind of diagram from going about in the 80s, long, dark clothes, to gradually becoming shorter, tighter, and more colorful.
So, as news spread of Massa Amini, the 22-year-old who died after being detained by the morality police, it touched a nerve.
When Iranian women see what happened to Mahsa, they think it could have happened to them.
Because you hardly find an Iranian woman who has not been either warned or detained or harassed by the morality police.
So?
There seems to be a group called the Morality Police.
No.
They're actually called the Guidance Patrol.
Guidance Patrol.
No one uses that.
Why is that?
So that would indicate there's an op going on.
Right there is an operation.
Because every news outlet says the same thing.
Guidance.
Including that woman from the University of Austin, or University of Texas, Austin, right near Nicaragua.
Okay, so it does say, it says Guidance Patrol, then it has the Persian for that, which is Gasta Eresat, or Morality Police.
It does say Morality Police, and let's see, why does it say that?
Retrieved September 25th.
Okay, Ghashi-e-Ershad, which translates as Guidance Patrols and is widely known as the Morality Police, is a unit of Iran's police forces tasked with enforcing the laws of Islamic Jurisprudence.
But they're called the Guidance Patrol, so their badges say Guidance Patrol, not Morality Police.
They're just known generically as such.
Well, by propaganda.
Alright, let's go to clip two.
I mean, not saying these guys are cool or anything.
They sound like outright dicks.
So we all know, we've all had this experience.
Golnaz Esfandiari has been covering what has happened since for Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty from her base outside the country.
Oh, that's propaganda right there!
Isn't that, that's our propaganda station?
Yeah, yeah, we do, yep, yep, yep, yep.
The police say Amini died from a heart attack after she was detained for allegedly violating Iran's strict dress code.
Her family rejects that account and points to evidence she was beaten.
I was talking to several women in Iran and they told me, look, even if she wasn't tortured, but she probably died from fear.
She had a heart attack from fear.
Because they know how scary this is.
Iran's president promised an investigation of Massa Amini's death that has not stopped protests.
Crowds have taken to the streets in dozens of cities across the country.
On Twitter, Esfandiari has collected some of the videos that have emerged, like the woman sitting above a crowded street, cutting off her hair as the crowd chants, death to the dictator.
In another video, a woman at the center of a cheering crowd throws her headscarf onto a bonfire.
You know, people have had enough.
Women have had enough.
They're burning their scarves in public.
They're burning symbols of the Islamic Republic.
They're burning symbols of state violence against women.
These are not the first widespread protests in Iran's recent history.
In 2009, massive crowds marched in response to allegations of a rigged presidential election.
There was chaos and bloodshed in the streets of Iran's capital.
The regime cracked down, killing dozens, arresting thousands, some of whom were tortured.
In 2019, the spark was skyrocketing gas prices and an economy in tatters.
Protesters called for an end to the regime.
So where's the crackdown?
Are they cracking heads already, or are they just letting it go?
I think they've already cracked the heads and they've stopped.
I think this thing has come to an end, or coming to an end.
I don't think it's working.
I don't think it's working either.
I think it was a good little protest, but they're going to have to come up with some better ploys here.
Well, let's go to clip three and see what else we can find out.
Okay, so the research suggests that remote work is sort of a win-win for both employers and employees, but... Wait, I'm sorry, where did that come from?
Thanks for that.
I don't know where that came from.
Remote work.
Sorry, it was a third report and it's confusing, so...
If Masa Amini's death was the spark that ignited these protests, a broader, deeper resentment of life under the regime may be the fuel keeping them going.
Here's Sanam Vaqil of the think tank Chatham House in London.
Oh, there you go.
This response to the death of Masa Amini.
This is all, all, uh, these guys are all spooks.
They're all spooks.
They're all losing their edge.
Chatham House, give me a break.
her tragic death.
Yeah, no.
Yeah, no.
You said, yeah, no.
I said, yeah, no, but that's, you know, my programming.
Chatham House in London.
This response to the death of Masa Amini, her tragic death, I think is bringing up so many different grievances and emotion to a people that are repressed, angry, and feel that their issues angry, and feel that their issues and grievances are ignored and not important.
Wow, they do a very deep analysis there, Chatham House.
John, I mean...
Do these people get paid to come up with that?
Yeah, they get paid to say that.
One of those grievances, the government's treatment of Iran's Kurdish minority.
Masa Amini was Kurdish.
In fact, her family knew her as Gina.
Ah, twist!
But many Iranian Kurds are not allowed to legally register their Kurdish names.
Megan Beaudet, Director of Research at the Kurdish Peace Institute.
Oh, hold on a second.
This somehow, does this, how does this tie into Erdogan and Turkey?
This is God, this Kurd thing.
This I can't tell you, because I can't figure that out either.
Because it doesn't make sense necessarily, but this Kurdish angle.
The Kurdish angle may be the reason that this has been put on the kibosh.
Megan Boudette, Director of Research at the Kurdish Peace Institute, says that while all citizens of Iran face dictatorship, Kurds have it even worse.
They have been oppressed by the Iranian nation-state, both under the monarchy and under the Islamic Republic today.
Their language, which is distinct, is restricted.
Their culture is restricted.
They make up almost half of political prisoners in the country, despite being a small portion of the population.
The predominantly Kurdish areas in the northwest of Iran have seen some of the most intense protests, but the protests have brought out all kinds of groups all across the country.
Because all women in Iran face this severe oppression, their demands unify people across these religious and ethnic lines, and because gender inequality is so foundational to the state and its repressive institutions, a demand for women's freedom is naturally, I would say, a demand for the democracy and freedom from all the kinds of human rights abuses that women and men alike suffer from there.
That demand seems to be on a collision course with an Iranian government that appears determined to suppress the protesters.
Now here's what I'd like to see.
Where's AOC flying to Tehran?
That would be dynamite.
Now, here's what I'd like to see.
Where's AOC flying to Tehran?
That would be dynamite.
She should fly to Tehran and say, you know, like do a hijab burning.
She would be perfect.
Yeah, I don't know what she's... under wraps for some reason.
Under wraps?
Did you see her with the Bronfman kid at the Met Gala?
Under wraps?
Well, I'm just saying, I don't see her at the top of the news in terms of anything that has to do with public affairs.
No.
No, you need to read page six.
You need to read page six.
That's where the real news takes place.
I think Pelosi's put all the Democrats on notice that they better not do anything to get too much attention.
All right, let's go to the end of this.
Last one.
Through an interpreter, the foreign minister suggested that foreign influence was behind the protests.
So Iranian people... Okay, yin-yang.
Hold on a second.
This is good.
This is NPR?
NPR?
No, surely they'll discredit this.
Through an interpreter, the foreign minister suggested that foreign influence was behind the protests.
So Iranian people are emotional people and they had pure sentiments and the early hours after the incident, they protested peacefully.
And it came to an end.
But in the meantime, there have been some outside elements like satellite channels, some websites that have been encouraging people inside Iran to pour into the streets and to turn violent and this is why the demonstrations turned violent and into riots.
The foreign minister said police had no choice but to react if protesters are destroying things.
So far, state media report at least 41 protesters and police have been killed.
Human rights groups say hundreds have been injured or arrested, including 20 journalists.
And Iran has used drones to attack what it says is an Iranian Kurdish opposition group in northern Iraq.
And as in past protests, the government has curtailed Internet access, making it hard to know exactly what is happening.
Wait a minute.
Do we maybe have to position ourselves in northern Iraq to protect the Kurds?
It's a region we're familiar with.
I don't know, this is like getting complicated.
But knowing Iranians who have family in Tehran, you know, Lex's wife, Fariba, she's Iranian, her mom, I don't know, they may have brought them over to Holland at this point.
But, you know, everyone in Iran knows how it goes.
Everyone knows what America's role is, you know, for their government, against their government.
Everyone knows it's all just, they'll say that to you, and they'll play together.
American government, our government, they play together, they play games.
So when they, everyone in Iran knows, oh, these guys are kicking something off.
What is it about?
Oh, hijab.
All right, everybody, let's go, hijab!
Maybe this time it'll work!
I think they're happy.
Let's give it a shot.
And you heard the guy.
And then the protest ended.
That was the end of it.
Yeah.
Well, that was not a bad report coming from NPR, but the Kurd thing, we got to figure that one out.
That's where the money is.
You smell it, too.
I know you smell it.
With that, I'd like to thank you for your courage.
Say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in the cannibal Netflix shows.
Ladies and gentlemen, please say hello to my friend on the other end, Mr. John C.
In the morning to the trolls in the troll room who are... I just got a text from Alex.
through the air, slubs in the water, and the dames and the knights out there.
In the morning to the trolls in the troll room who are...
I just got a text from Alex.
He says, you are not the opening act.
I guess...
I didn't take it that way, actually.
I was very happy.
Hey, Trolls!
There's our opening act, the Trolls.
Darren O'Neill is our opening act, the rock and roll pre-show.
Man, he was playing some crazy stuff this morning.
And the Trolls were all getting riled up, which we love seeing that happen, and they're there again.
We're going to see how many we have in our troll room today.
Alright, so let's hurry around, let me see what's going on.
Okay, 2135.
I think that's...
Better than typical, is it not?
2,135?
It's down a hundred at least.
Oh, okay.
Well, 2,300 was the big number.
Okay.
Well, the big number was 3,000.
I tell you what the big number was, 3,096.
Oh, you have that on the post-it note.
I say 46, sorry.
Yeah, it's on a post-it note.
Well, these trolls are doing very important work.
You can tell by their name and by the smell in that place.
They're trolls.
So they troll each other.
They troll whoever's on the live stream, which when you go to trollroom.io, you get the troll room.
You can log right in.
You can chat with everybody and listen to the show, whatever's playing at that time.
Of course, Thursdays and Sundays is the no agenda show, but the stream has something 24 hours a day.
It is by far the best podcast network in the universe.
And you can still sign up.
We have a couple of slots available for our Mastodon social network.
Signup.noagendasocial.com.
While stocks last, because we're going to close it up again.
And then in a year from now, we're going to purge.
Purge?
Purge.
People haven't touched their account for over a year.
They're going to get purged out of the system.
But no worries, you can always set up your own.
You can follow John C. Dvorak at noagendasocial.com or Adam at noagendasocial.com from wherever you have a Mastodon account.
Set one up yourself for your friends, for your family, for your group.
It is the future of social networking.
No algos.
It's a decentralized control.
The control, of course, is with each individual community.
noagendasocial.com Now let us thank the artists who brought us artwork for episode 1490.
We titled that one Peanut Butter Spies, which was... That just came to us, I guess.
We had a couple of titles, but Peanut Butter Spies was so ridiculous.
Yes, we settled.
We settled.
I love this art, and I said we'll get good comments from Nico Saimi.
He did Asteroids, the Orgasmic Asteroids game with Oh Wow.
This triggered a lot of people.
They really loved it.
And I knew it!
I knew that there's such a... You didn't know it, and you said, ah, no one will know.
No, I didn't.
I said it was dated.
I thought it was a dated reference that no one would get because they're too young.
People generally listen to the show except for the few farts that do.
And it was just too old.
It was a game from the 70s, as I recall.
Well, no.
Oh, dude.
No, it was even in the 80s.
The 80s.
It was an arcade game.
It was an arcade game in the 70s.
Oh, maybe it was an arcade game in the 70s?
Asteroid in the 70s?
Oh, it's very old.
Did they even have asteroids, uh... Well, it's an astrographics thing, so it's a piece of crap in terms of its design.
That's what made it so good.
It's in the era of Pong.
1979.
It was developed by Atari.
So, let's just call it the 80s.
But you can say 70s.
Well, what I got on Twitter was a lot of people saying, ah, fantastic.
No one complained.
Let's put it that way.
Oh, why would they complain?
Because I complain.
Oh, people complain all the time.
Well, the one I liked and I used on the newsletter is the one that's above it on today's sheet.
We did like that, the Waffle House.
Capitalist Agenda Waffles.
It was a Waffle House that said Agenda House and they said No Agenda House because No was the only neon lit under Now Open.
It was very creative.
It has 33 at the base of the stick that holds the sign up.
It had a lot of... I thought it was a nice piece of art.
Why did we not choose that ultimately?
Because you were in love with the Asterix piece.
Oh, blame it on me!
No, you liked the asteroid.
And I gave in saying, yes, I can go with the asteroid piece.
And the main thing I kind of got me was the, oh, wow, on there.
I thought it was a good piece too.
I was in for both pieces.
A lot of Greta blowing up the pipeline jokes.
Appreciate it.
Appreciate it.
What else did we have?
The offerings are a little more sparse.
We're going through a moment of pickiness.
It's possible.
What?
Are we picky?
Yeah.
No, I mean I'm just seeing the offering is just less than typical.
Well, there's not that many, that's true.
Actually, Darren O'Neill had a nice piece I thought.
A piece you could technically use.
Well, this Nico guy, he's got all kinds of interesting ideas, definitely.
Definitely giving people a run for their money.
What Darren O'Neill thing was that?
He had Waffle House open, and it was a Waffle House open sign.
Ah, yes.
A pancake, a waffle, a round waffle that was obviously one of the kinds you put in a toaster.
But it was drowning, and that was kind of, that sucked.
It looked like the waffle was drowning.
Yeah.
That was a little gruesome.
But it was an usable piece.
Well, the good news is, if you're using a Podcasting 2.0 app, as we're speaking, you can now see all of these images that Dreb Scott has uploaded in our cloud chapters, which are really gaining strength.
A lot of apps are now integrating this podcast.
I'm telling you, Apple should be embarrassed at this point.
I bet you this.
Do you know how many podcasts have implemented at least one of the new podcasting 2.0 features?
Just take a guess.
What podcast?
How many podcasts?
Oh, a million.
No, have implemented at least one of the podcasting 2.0 features.
Oh, you mean podcast apps?
No, no, podcasts.
Oh, how many podcasts?
I thought all of them did.
No, who implement the new features.
One of the new features.
Okay.
Well, I'm confused.
How many?
400,000.
That sounds reasonable.
So the point is, 400,000 podcasts cannot be enjoyed on Apple the way they can on 10 other new podcast apps.
That's what I say when I mean that's embarrassing for Apple.
Oh, you mean for chapters and things?
Yeah, transcripts, all this stuff, yeah.
Transcripts and chapters, yeah.
It's embarrassing.
People are using it.
Anyway, newpodcastapps.com if you want to get a little look of that.
Or you can always go to noahartgenerator.com and just refresh during the show.
It's a lot of fun.
Now let's thank some of our producers in our Value for Value proposition, coming up on 15 years, the 26th of October, where we decided long ago, just tell us what you think the show is worth, send that to us, and we'll consider that the right amount.
We can't look in your pocketbook, we can't tell you how you value something.
We know how much we value it, and you've been doing good by us, we get enough value back, here we are, we're still doing it, and it's a fantastic system.
So much better because we can say whatever we want.
And we kick it off, there he is, start of the month, RabbitRabbitBunnyBunny, synonymous of Dogpatch and Lower Slobovia, with a whopping $3,812 donation.
Wow.
That's a big donation.
$12 donation.
Wow.
That's a big donation.
That's a big donation.
Shouldn't that be...
We should give him a...
Do we have a...
We should have fanfare.
Somebody should do a jingle or fanfare for any of these.
Well, how about this?
The big baller.
It's the big baller.
And he has a note, I believe.
I saw it come in.
He always does.
We're not exactly sure.
We know who Dogpatch is, what he does.
We know what he does for us.
He's anonymous.
He's anonymous of Dogpatch.
He's not Dogpatch.
Correct.
He's anonymous of Dogpatch.
Thanks to all the producers that add so much to the quality of the show.
Release the hounds!
In January 2022, you deconstructed a news report discussing lab monkeys escaping following a traffic accident and the woman who stopped to help the monkeys becoming quarantined.
Six months later, monkey pox!
Yeah, I'd say we did that.
Yep.
Mainly because the dump truck part was funny.
In August 2021, it was discovered that the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases was experimenting on 4,000 beagles that were being rescued, many in very severe condition.
This August, it was announced that many of the beagles were nursed back to health and are being placed in, quote, loving homes.
Since we have no idea what these animals were experimented with, it is easy to imagine an outbreak this winter of a new animal-to-human virus transmission.
Beagle mania!
Now there's an old reference.
Beagle mania to beetle mania.
Yeah.
In an episode that highlighted a Democratic political expert discussing Senate gerrymandering, you missed the point.
To democracy believers, Senate gerrymandering is called state lines.
That was me.
Okay.
And I don't know what he's talking about.
I am reading articles by a growing number of socialists pushing against our republic structure and encouraging the flawed idea of democracy where 50.1% of a voter group can disenfranchise 49.9% of the population as it is happening in today's Senate.
These writers highlight how undemocratic it is that a senator from West Virginia, a state with only 1.7 million people, could have equal sway as a senator from California and its 40 million people, who sides with New York with 20 million people, ignoring or ignorant of the House representation and sovereignty of each state.
No kidding.
They've been talking about this forever.
It's like, good luck.
It has been discussed, yes, forever.
Forever.
Write an amendment.
They've already kind of screwed it up.
Originally, the Senators were all picked by the local states.
So the state of California would pick, its legislature would pick the Senators.
Oh, it wasn't a vote.
And then one of the amendments to the Constitution came into play, and I can't remember the number, something in the control room might, said, no, no, no, he has to be popularly elected on a six-year cycle.
And so that's changed that.
But originally it was smoke-filled rooms at the legislature, and you'd pick a guy, and you'd send him to the seat, he'd be the senator.
It's more like the House of Lords.
The 16th Amendment.
16th.
16th.
Just as there is an effort to unbundle the electoral college, the failure to teach civics and the importance of our republic's structure encourages the planting of seeds towards 100 at-large senators.
Yeah, this is, uh... That would be really a mess.
That would be the next step, you're right.
It would be!
That's crazy.
So that would be the gerrymandering he's speaking of.
That would be real g- Yeah, that would be the gerrymandering they really want.
Yeah.
Well, did I get it?
Now, what do we think this number?
Is this of importance?
3812?
Again, I wish... It's a very unusual number.
It's a very unusual number.
I counted twice.
I figured these numbers are something.
We came with a $10 bill and a $2 bill.
He likes the $2 bills.
I love that about that guy.
So he did $3,800 and then a $10 and a $2?
Yeah.
Oh, that's beautiful.
Well, thank you for valuing us.
To us, that means you're valuing the show very highly.
Yeah.
Very much appreciated.
In fact, he saved the show.
Oh, good.
As we continue with David Drake, who's up next on the list with $500, which is nothing to sneeze at.
And he's in Midlothian, Virginia.
Short note, please knight me, Dukkadave, Dukkadave, Slayer of Suffering, L Sharpton of some sort, please.
Be well, live love and love life.
At doc.drake.
Wellness at substack.com.
At doc.drakewellness on Instagram.
Thank you.
Hey.
All right.
Promotion's there for wellness.
And he wants some, uh, Al Sharpton.
Resist.
We must.
We must.
They're all jitty about a shutdown.
The tortise in the race.
Then co-author of Who Breaks.
U2 lead singer Bono.
Fran Drescher.
Sigournoy Weaver.
Suspect Jahar Sanayev.
Rush Limbaugh.
Rush!
R-E-S-P-I-C-T Susan... Well, I would pronounce this in Dutch, Pruksma, but I'm sure that's not how you pronounce it.
Pruksma, Pruksma, P-R-U-I-K-S-M-A, from Argyle, New York, 34567.
That's always a nice number.
In the morning, John Adam, I was called out as a douchebag by my good friend, Rob Simpson.
Good friend?
Please de-douche me!
You've been de-douched.
Rob, it took you long enough.
Thank you, John and Adam, for bringing a slice of reality in this insane world.
Keep up the good work and please hit me with some karma.
You've got karma.
Now we have Frannie Knudsen in Plantation, Florida, 33845.
And she begins with, Fiona, don't skip the value for value donation segment.
Message received.
Message received by Fiona.
Fiona.
In the morning, boys from Plantation, in the free state of Florida.
Shout out to my human resource, Fiona Lovely Awesomeness, who should be returning home today if she doesn't miss her flight again times three.
No.
Not entirely her fault.
AMS is a shitshow of an airport per her ordeal.
So is JFK.
No one cares.
Anywho, she's been interning in Denmark and backpacking Europe at the perfect age of 22.
She traveled unvaxxed and unapologetic with no problems.
Just a little mask issue in Germany's airport.
Mask holes!
She's a rock star!
God, I love my kids!
We're a family that no agenda... no agendas together.
This other woman, she's like doing free, you know, kind of... It's like Tourette's, you know?
Mask holes!
Rock star!
God, I love my kids!
Public kids!
Reassociation here on the No Agenda Show.
We're a family that has no agendas together, and we've been listening for a few years now, and really appreciate the valuable information and humor.
Thanks, boys!
Fantastic mother, three free-thinking human resources, and keeper of Peter the Viking, the lover of baby powder.
I hope you never find your exit strategy.
Just a little goat, please.
All right, goat's here.
You've got... Karma.
We go to Riverside, California, 333.77.
Ah, yes, the striper number, Sir OG Godcaster.
Well, we know who this is.
In the morning, fellas, I believe this 333.77 donation puts me over the top for baronet status!
In November, I'll be marking 18 years in podcasting.
Yes, this must be the infamous Steve Webb.
Thanks, Adam.
It's my fault.
But with this donation, I'm celebrating the beginning of the 13th season of the LifeSpring Family Audio Bible, which commences today.
The LifeSpring Family Audio Bible is the daily podcast where we read through the entire Bible in one year.
Actually, I thought he was going to stop doing that, but I guess he cranked it up again.
After each day's reading, I share my thoughts on what we've read, and I invite all of Noah's Agenda Nation to join me and the rest of the LifeSpring family as we journey through God's Word together.
Episode 1 of Season 13 is available today.
If you've always wanted to read the entire Bible, now is the time to start.
Bible.Lifestringmedia.com.
Alright, he is indeed, as far as I'm concerned, the original OG Godcaster our Steve Webb is.
Sounds right.
John M. Greer in Enterprise, Alabama comes in with 333.00 and I can't not find a note of any sort from him.
Neither can I. That means a double up karma for him.
You've got double up karma.
You're up.
Thanks.
First associate executive producer from Spartanburg, South Carolina.
Hope y'all are okay there.
South Carolina got hit a bit by E-N-2.
William Goshorn.
Danny sends... The thing is Goshorn.
Goshorn?
Goshorn.
Goshorn?
Yeah.
222.23, so it's not quite a row of ducks.
Let me see.
Oh, yes, I remember this note.
I'm admittedly a longtime douchebag and was hit in the mouth back in 2020 by Brian Nunes while grocery shopping at Publix without a mask during the lockdowns.
I'm sending this note to say thank you for shrinking my amygdala and for being a wonderful source of information mixed with entertainment and comedy.
Hey, we put comedy first here at the No Agenda Show.
I've been thinking of how to donate and what small part I can play in Helping No Agenda and I've officially developed a new way to donate with each donation having its own title.
The plan creates a path to knighthood through three donations.
Okay.
Alright everybody, here we go.
Oh, you know, you know, I read this.
I'll just do the numbers and the, uh... I mean, it's like a little much and so complicated.
He's being creative.
It's nuts.
It's absolutely nuts.
You need the butterfly net.
Donation 1 would be 2222.23, which is what he did today, and would bear the title of ugly duckling as it's a row of ducks of twos with an ugly duckling trailing at the end.
Okay.
Number two, and since he's proposing this, I'm going to be expecting a donation of 333.32 next from him, which would bear the title of Ugly Cignet as a row of swans with an ugly duckling trailing at the end.
Okay.
And donation- Hold on, hold on.
Just to bring this up, isn't the ugly duckling a three?
The two is a duckling.
Yes, but the threes are swans.
Yeah, the threes are swan, but he says ugly duckling at the end, and an ugly duckling would not be a two, because that's just a regular duck.
I think this needs to go back to the drawing board.
I mean, the compensation committee is already pulling it apart.
And then donation 3 would be 444.44 and would bear the title of blacksmith.
As the number 444.44 means that change is taking place in your life.
And with the request for a penny from you... Oh, now I gotta participate in this thing?
A penny from you!
That change will be knighthood!
The donor has plenty of skin in the game.
So you do you with the penny.
The new donation plan uses the number 3 in multiple ways.
It's a win-win!
Okay.
We appreciate your first donation in this sequence.
And I'm looking forward to the other ones.
And he said he had to hear jingles.
What do you want for jingles?
Give me all the Sharpton you got.
He also wants Sharpton.
I'll do a little longer Sharpton here then.
He's getting lunch at Chipotle.
The tortise in the race.
Kim Kardashian is Sigourney Weaver Russia!
R-E-S-P-I-C-T They're all jitty!
R-E-S-P-I-C-T There's no real conflict!
Ha!
Suck it to me, suck it to me, suck it to me, suck it to me, suck it to me, suck it to me, suck it to me, suck it to me, suck it to me, suck it to me, suck it to me, suck it to me, suck it to me, suck it to me, suck it to me, suck it to me, suck it to me, suck it to me, suck it to me, suck it to me, suck it to me, suck it to me, suck it to me, suck it to me, suck it to me, suck it to me, suck it to me, suck it to me, suck it to me, suck it to me, suck it to me, suck it to me, suck it to me, suck it to me, suck it That is such a dynamite song.
Rev Al should be on it.
Yeah, it works on everything, especially with him.
Yeah, it's really cool.
So onward with Sir Jeff of the Five Seasons as Dame to Me, Danielle, I think it's Gary's or Jerry's or Gary's or Jerry's, I'm not sure.
But it doesn't matter because he's in Wee California.
Nothing matters as long as you're on weed, California.
2101.
Weed almost burnt to the ground recently during one of the fires.
Really?
Congratulations to the newlyweds, Adam and Emily.
Love and light and some little girl yay to send you on your way from Sir Jeff of the Five Seasons and his dame to be.
Yay!
There you go.
Ah, yes, Dame Lady Get Over It and Sir Hopscotch from Monroe, Washington, with our final Associate Executive Producer donorship here, $200.
Switcheroo to Billy Bones!
Ooh, what happened here?
Oops, sorry.
Oh, my mousepad was on the keyboard.
Switcheroo to Billy Bones' birthday on 10-30.
Okay, 10-30.
10.30.
Okay.
10.30.
So we're a month ahead?
Yeah, that's what it looks like.
Huh, okay, well that's fine.
He would like two buttermilk biscuits with quality sausage gravy, couple eggs sunny side up, and a side of hash browns.
Well, I can give him two biscuits.
They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
And Dame Lady Getover and Sir Hopscotch finish up by saying, his podcast is a walk through the mind.
Give it a stroll.
All right.
Very nice.
And so I will, I guess this is a switcheroo.
So we put in Billy Bones.
Billy Bones with the three instead of the E. And that's because he's an ugly duckling.
Okay.
That's it?
That's our group of Associate Executive Producers and Executive Producers for show 1491.
I want to thank each and every one of them for making the shows very successful, thanks to the little top-heavy aspect of it this week, and not really that many producers.
We will be thanking more $50 and above in our second segment, and of course, these credits that we just cavalierly talk about are forever credits, so if you have a credit for this show, you are the executive producer of The No Agenda Show, episode 1491, or associate executive producer, as appropriate.
LinkedIn, um, put your business cards, uh, next to your pronouns.
Just, uh, that's where, that's where, where this title.
I think that's a good one.
Make it your pronoun instead of next to your pronouns.
Now you're talking.
If you'd like to learn more, go here.
Once again, thank you all for bringing your time, talent, and treasure for the No Agenda Show.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Order! Order!
Shut up, slave! - Okay.
All right.
Okay.
Where are we at?
Well, we got a bunch of things we can talk about.
For one thing, there's, let's talk about, there's action all over the world.
We need to do a little more international.
Lebanon is melting down.
It's going broke.
Bikino Faso is completely out of control and the Brazilian elections are coming up and I was looking for some clips because this is like most of the Brazilian election stuff in the U.S.
by our news media since Bolsonaro is another Mussolini.
It's about the Silva, but there's some interesting little subplot going on in Brazil that I took these clips from.
This is very interesting, the Brazil vote-buying.
Now, one major issue for the electoral authorities in Brazil is vote-buying.
This is a practice that's both widespread and hard to prevent, especially in the poorest areas.
Our Latin America editor Lucia Newman reports now from the state of Parambuco.
In rural northeastern Brazil, people don't often receive visitors, except during election time.
That's when 83-year-old Sebastian and his son say they can always be sure to be called on by candidates for municipal and federal office.
Just last week, 32-year-old Jai Elson says he was working right here, making his clay pots, when they were visited and offered between $2 and $10 for their votes.
They come here, start to talk to us and say, vote for me.
Then they put their hands in their pockets and give you the money.
Since the person is in need, they take it, you see?
Sebastien says candidates also offer water, which is scarce here, or construction material, or clay.
But that after the elections, when you ask for their help, they send you away, saying they've already paid for your vote.
Last time, did you vote for the person who paid you, I ask?
Sure, I accepted the favor, and then I voted for whoever I wanted.
But many people do vote for the candidates that give them handouts.
It's an old practice, but in times of economic hardship, like now, it's even more difficult to resist.
From here until election day, day and night, they don't stop buying votes.
Is that kind of like forgiving student loans?
Well, as the reason, obviously, I played these clips, I got a second one here too, kind of wraps it up.
But yeah, it's the same thing.
It's buying votes, only we're doing, we do it a little differently, sometimes a little more, maybe in a more sophisticated manner, but I don't know what's going on in Georgia with their ballot boxes and the people that might.
Somebody might say to themselves, why bother buying votes, we'll just print up some extra ballots and stuff them in this box here and drop the box off.
Yeah.
But here we go, part two.
We know that in exchange, they sometimes offer water, a basic food basket, money, sandals, and even dentures.
43-year-old farmer Silvia Josefa da Costa says candidates have been coming all week.
Not that she doesn't accept their overtures.
Not since she was traumatized by an offer of a municipal job.
May I speak frankly?
In exchange for that, he wanted me to stay with him.
Do you understand?
So, in my case, it wasn't even food.
It was for me to offer myself to him.
What kind of deal is that?
The guy says, here, I gave you some money.
I guess it was a sex job he was offered.
What happened to the voting?
Well, you know, you vote for me anyway.
You're gonna vote for me if you're gonna do this.
Wow, that's cool.
To stay with him.
Do you understand?
Sir, in my case, it wasn't even food.
It was for me.
It's something a Buddha judge might do.
Yeah, exactly!
May I speak frankly?
In exchange for that, he wanted me to stay with him.
Do you understand?
So, in my case, it wasn't even food.
It was for me to offer myself to him.
The penalty for buying or selling votes is high.
But electoral tribunal authorities concede it's difficult to combat.
Nowadays, very few cases are reported.
We need to change voter behavior because the voter The voter who tries to sell his vote or has his vote corrupted won't denounce himself.
Financial incentives for voting are more common in municipal elections, but not exclusively.
Incumbent candidates all the way up to the presidency have the advantage.
Perhaps the most obvious example is President Jair Bolsonaro's decision to distribute $120 to Brazilian families most in need for the next four months.
That's nothing.
Biden did a trillion.
Even though the Constitution specifically bars governments from distributing money on the eve of elections.
President Bolsonaro declared a state of emergency to get around the prohibition.
Money and other handouts are always welcomed by the poor, even during elections.
But many ask, at what price for Brazil's democracy?
Can I interject with another supercut here about stolen elections?
You fell upon a cache of supercuts.
I did.
It was almost like Operation Gladio of supercuts.
You probably lit up when you saw these, because you had two or three last show, and now you've got two.
And they're dynamite, by the way.
Who's ever putting these together?
Well, this one is long.
Uh, so we can stop at any time.
Well the other one was so long I had to cut it off.
You gave me the hour.
It was going on for two or three, four or five minutes.
Yeah, I'll give you the same opportunity for this one.
We're going back to...
See, you'd think we'd be going back to the 2020 election.
The big lie.
The big lie that the election was stolen.
It's a lie.
What is it, John?
It's not just a lie.
It's the big lie.
It's a big lie.
It's the big lie.
It's a big lie.
And there was violence.
And there was violence.
Violence!
Violence!
The big lie.
Now, let's go back to 2016, and it astounded me how many times I said to myself, oh, crap, I remember that.
Oh, right.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
We didn't really view it the same way.
It was stolen.
Stolen.
He's an illegitimate president.
He's an illegitimate president.
You know, pretending to be president.
Why do you think the president is going to such great lengths to essentially prove that he beat you?
Because he didn't.
One third of Clinton supporters say Trump election is not legitimate.
I think he's an illegitimate president that didn't really win.
You are absolutely right.
You can run the best campaign, you can even become the nominee, and you can have the election stolen from you.
The 2016 election was stolen.
Got a nicer way to say that?
Say, Russia hacked the election.
Russia hacked our election.
Russia hacked our election.
A little louder, please.
Russia hacked our election.
That was a 9-11 scale event.
This was a kind of cyber 9-11.
Cyber 9-11.
Yes.
Russia hacked our election.
Russia, of course, hacked our election here.
Half of Clinton's voters believe the conspiracy theory that Russia hacked Election Day votes.
We know that they were into voting rolls.
Actual interference with the elections themselves.
We know it happened.
Despite no credible evidence, 67% of Democrats believe Russia tampered with vote tallies.
Hacking the U.S.
election.
Hacking the U.S.
election.
Russia hacked our elections.
The Russians hacked our elections.
Most young Americans consider Donald Trump an illegitimate president.
He's an illegitimate president.
Why is he illegitimate?
of our election.
Russia hacked our elections.
Russia hacked our elections.
Stolen elections.
Russia hacked our elections.
Russia hacked our elections.
Universal assessment that Russia hacked our election in 2016.
Foreign governments hacked our elections.
Most young Americans consider Donald Trump an illegitimate president.
An illegitimate president.
He's an illegitimate president.
Why is he illegitimate?
He just won an election.
He's an illegitimate president in my mind.
That's it.
I absolutely agree.
Experts urge Clinton camp to challenge election results.
We will see how illegitimate his victory actually was.
He's an illegitimate president.
Russia hacked our election.
Russians hacking our election.
Russia hacked our election.
I don't see the president as an illegitimate president.
Trump is an illegitimate president who stole the election!
He is not a president!
He's illegitimate, and my biggest fear is that he's going to do it again with the help of Vlad, his best pal.
Vlad!
Could you be my vice president?
Hillary Clinton voters called to overturn election results.
More than 4 million people have already signed a petition on Change.org calling for the electors of the Electoral College to quote, ignore their states, vote and cast their ballots for Secretary Clinton.
Trump didn't actually win the election in 2016.
We are the victims of a bloodless coup.
He didn't even won the general election.
Yo, Electoral College!
Make Hillary Clinton president!
Period!
Donald Trump is an illegitimate president.
An illegitimate president.
Dems don't accept Trump as a legitimate president.
This wasn't on the level.
This election was not on the level.
I don't think he's a legitimate president.
Our election wasn't legit!
He got his victory from cheating.
Yes, Trump cheated.
Trump cheated the 2016 election.
He's an illegitimate president.
No validity.
No credibility.
And because of that... Anger at what some see as an illegitimate president.
Trump has lost votes!
It will not be a peaceful change of power.
A number of incidents turned violent.
Protesters hurled... Now, wait.
Now it changes, and right at the moment I was tired of it too.
Now they show the... Do you remember the violence when Trump got elected?
The violence on the streets in all cities?
Oh yeah, and the pink pushy hats?
No, no, no, no, no.
The violence, John.
We completely forgot about this.
I'm gonna play it out.
Credibility.
And because of that... Anger at what some see as an illegitimate president.
Donald Trump has got to go!
It will not be a peaceful change of power.
A number of incidents turned violent.
Protesters hurled trash cans, flash bombs, and objects at police.
Several officers injured.
Protesters threw rocks and smashed windows, leading to more confrontations, injuries, and arrests.
The chaotic scene just blocks outside the security area of the inauguration.
Denying election results is extreme now.
Yeah.
So let's be really clear.
That comparison that you made is just ridiculous.
Protests against Donald Trump's election victory surged overnight and some became violent.
Violence erupted on the streets of Portland during the second straight day of protests over the election of Donald Trump.
Some protesters launched fireworks and other projectiles at police.
Several people began vandalizing cars.
Remember all that?
There was real violence on inauguration day.
Yeah.
It just goes on and on.
But we forget.
Yeah.
We forget.
That was a big lie.
Now forget all that.
The big lie.
The big lie.
It was exactly the same, just presented... No, it wasn't exactly the same.
It was worse.
Presented in a very different light by the mainstream media at the time.
You remember when he got inaugurated, what was the news focusing on?
Was the news focusing on the riots and the violence?
No.
They were focusing on the size of the crowd.
And they totally reeled, was it Sean Spicer?
Yeah, Sean Spicer.
They reeled him in and trumped, like, no, no, it was the biggest inauguration crowd in history.
Idiots.
Instead of covering what was going on.
what was going on.
Okay.
Yep.
That's, yeah.
What do you got on Venezuela?
I don't have, do I have anything on Venezuela?
Venezuela prisoner exchange.
Oh yes, so there's this little report, because I did a prisoner exchange story recently about, you know, some Ukrainian swapping people and it's, you know, again we have Brittany Greiner, nothing's being done about her, but we got this stuff going on in the background.
Listen to this one.
The United States and Venezuela have carried out a prisoner swap on Saturday, and this comes after several months of intense negotiations, including a face-to-face meeting between American and Venezuelan officials in Caracas at the end of June.
Seven men, seven Americans, including five men who worked for the oil giant Citgo, had been what the U.S.
considered wrongfully detained by the Maduro government.
They have now all been released and they are on their way back to the United States.
In exchange, the U.S.
President Joe Biden granted clemency to two Venezuelan men who had been convicted several years ago of drug trafficking.
These two men happen to be the nephews of the wife of the Venezuelan President, Nicolás Maduro.
It appeared, according to White House officials speaking on background, that in order to get the Americans released, releasing these two men had to be a part of the deal.
And after much consideration, White House officials say Joe Biden finally granted the men clemency in order to bring U.S.
citizens home.
Now, this is not a situation in which U.S.
officials say that U.S.-Venezuelan relations are going to improve overnight, and they also would not speculate on whether other Americans wrongfully detained by Venezuela could be released any time in the near future.
They did repeat their call for the Venezuelan government to improve its democratic processes, to improve its economy, to respect human rights.
What's the way out for that country?
Do they have a way out, even?
Well, they're going to probably go through a few... It's going to end up like Cuba, the way things are going.
But look, the difference is that they do have a lot of oil that they can sell into the market.
Although they haven't been... I don't know what they've been doing with the money.
Well, we mentioned that.
This is kind of a screwball thing, I thought, is these prisoner exchanges.
It's hard to find these stories, by the way.
Let's go to Biden.
Is it time for the comedy portion of the show?
Let's start with Biden talking about the hurricane.
You know, I... Okay, let's play it and I have a thought about this.
I know, this is not a new clip, but it's still amusing.
Let me be clear.
If you're in a state where hurricanes often strike, like Florida or the Gulf Coast or into Texas, a vital part of preparing for hurricane season is to get vaccinated now.
Everything is more complicated if you're not vaccinated and a hurricane or natural disaster hits.
What was interesting about this clip, because of course it's old, it's at least a year old, is that it was presented as new.
And everyone bought into it, emailing this a million times to me.
God, look what he said!
I never got it from anyone that said it was new.
I always knew it was old.
I'm just talking about the socials, the way it was.
Yeah, I get a lot of emails.
So we do have new.
We have new.
Let's go with this one.
This is 923.
This is just recent.
This is 923.
Let's see what he has to say.
But if you're a family that's a wage earner, each of the parents, one making 30 grand, one making 40 or 50, maybe that's a little more than, yeah, they need the money.
What money is he going to give them?
I understand it's just... More free money, more free money.
But what money was he talking about?
This free money, money.
Oh, okay.
I think that would refer to student loans.
Oh, okay, got it.
And then we have this, this is a kind of a Well, let's do this classic.
This is the classic No Stones clip.
The only way to spare more pain and more loss, the only way.
These milestones no longer mark our national mourning.
These milestones, I should say, no longer mark our national mourning.
Ah, prompter fail!
Prompter fail!
It was considered a prompter fail.
Of course that's a prompter fail.
He's talking about Vilsack and he fumbles here and then he has a, which brings me to the sub clip, because what is he saying here?
Listen to this.
Vilsack, is he the secretary of agriculture?
Yeah, he was the senator and he's the secretary and he does know what he is.
In rural economies at the same time.
I heard from Senator, uh, from Secretary Vilsack.
Senator, excuse me, I didn't know who you were.
He's just... I'm not kidding aside, he's doing a hell of a job.
Real low energy there, Joe.
Listen to this.
Senator, excuse me, I didn't know who you were.
Yeah, this one, this one.
He's just... Hey, this is your sub clip.
I gotta hear that.
What?
Is that your sub clip?
Yeah.
Oh, see if brilliant minds think alike.
Okay.
Yes.
Set it up.
Well, he says something here.
Normally we sit there and we can go back and forth and see, try to see what he's saying.
You tell me what he's saying here.
All right.
Let me try again.
I think he's saying he should be sitting there.
He should be sitting there because now he's freaked out about it.
Is he dead too?
Did I screw it up again?
Is he dead like the other one?
He should be sitting there.
You might be right.
Holy mackerel.
That's dynamite.
You could even come close to guessing that.
I grew up listening to Belgians.
Sorry, Dutch-Belgian joke.
That's pretty crazy.
Well, that's pretty, that's pretty, that's pretty crazy.
This guy, it's so, I mean, and we just keep pretending like nothing's wrong.
Everybody knows it.
Everybody keeps on pretending.
Go ahead.
I have a couple of short clips I want to just get out of the way and get them off this list.
All right.
I'm wondering about, you know, sometimes people are using the wrong words in certain different wrong contexts.
And I have two of them here.
And I'm wondering if you hear this, maybe I'm just hearing it myself.
This is a woman that introduced Joe Biden on one of the events recently and instead of saying virtue signaling, I believe she says virtual signaling.
And I can see somebody, I can honestly see somebody thinking, you know, because sometimes you said, you know, you've done this, I've done it, we've all done it, you have a word in your brain and you think that that phrase goes such and such, when it's really, you're saying it wrong, you're screwing it up.
What you're saying is... And I think a lot of people think virtual signaling is possibly what people are saying, but they're not.
It will hopefully lead to the strengthening of America's labor unions and a revival of this nation's great middle class.
For some in Washington, that bust in their office might simply be virtual signaling.
Ooh, it's virtual.
It's almost like nuclear.
She said virtual.
There's an L coming out there.
There was an L. There was an L word.
It's an L word.
Here we go.
That bust in their office might simply be virtual signaling.
I love how she accentuates it.
Virtual signaling.
Well, she may not be wrong.
It's virtual, the signaling.
It's not real.
Yeah, maybe.
And here's another one.
I got two of these today.
The other one's from Jean-Pierre Abdul-Jabbar.
And it's not necessarily like a complete flub, like virtual.
It's the use of a word that she says, false premises.
Oh my God.
We're losing the language everywhere.
You'd either say false, uh, false premises.
Premises.
Well, no, you'd say false premise.
False premise.
Well, false premise is one thing, but false.
You'd say false pretenses, is one way of putting it, and false promises would be another.
And this is the movement of the people into Martha's Vineyard.
And false premises, which is a real term, usually refers to a premise that's false, as opposed to a pretense that's false, or in the fact of the movement of the Immigrants, you know, illegal immigrants.
If you're not, you know, look man, if you're not carrying water for Putin, you're, you're being racist and misogynist against the, the, the lesbian black female.
Well, it's a possibility, but I think she should have, I think she meant to say promises and said premises.
Yesterday, two Republican governors reportedly lured 100 asylum seekers, including children, Onto planes and buses with false premises, and then abandon them on the side of a busy road, thousands of miles away, with nothing, with nothing but Ziploc bags of their belongings in hand.
That's what they cross the border with, with their clean t-shirts and clean shoes.
Yeah.
After the month-long trek.
You know, now we're just sounding like Twitter.
We're just showing everyone that they're idiots.
Let's do a little bit of economic news here, real quick.
Before we leave, I've got one more short clip.
Since we're talking about the false premises, let's listen to Pelosi patronizing the immigrants.
We have a shortage of workers in our country.
And you see even in Florida, some of the farmers and the growers saying, why are you shipping these immigrants up north?
We need them to pick the crops down here.
Now there's your false premise.
These are not immigrants.
These are illegal.
Immigrants.
Illegal.
We have visas specifically for farm workers in California, in Florida, specifically for seasonal workers.
I just thought it was the patronizing aspect of, we need these immigrants to clean our toilets, as was presented on The View, when one of the women there said, oh, we need these people to clean our toilets.
I just thought it was very patronizing.
No, it's incredibly patronizing.
But anyway, that was my last complaint.
But the problem is we all get all hung up on the patronizing aspect.
No, I agree.
It's illegal immigrants.
There should be something done about it.
Should be!
Yes!
Should be!
Should be.
Let's see, how is Thanksgiving gonna be this year, kids?
Now with what's expected to be a very expensive Thanksgiving, turkey prices could reach record highs this year.
And Rebecca Jarvis, well, she went straight to the source to explain what's behind these rising costs.
Rebecca, hopefully we can hear you over all the gobbling this time.
Stop gobbling.
I've got a lot of friends.
Cecilia here at Double Brook Farm.
They have welcomed us with open wings, even though they're dealing with some very challenging times.
Triple the feed costs, double the labor costs, the worst drought in 20 years.
It all adds up to a more expensive Thanksgiving feast.
This morning, signs of turkey trouble.
The cost of the Thanksgiving staple's spiking, hitting a new record high as the bird flu and inflation ruffle feathers.
It definitely causes a whole lot of stress.
I've never been not able to get the turkeys that I've wanted.
The retail price for boneless, skinless turkey breast, more than doubling, now near $7 a pound.
It's really a combination of issues that are leading to these record high prices this year.
One that's having the largest influence is an outbreak of high path avian influenza.
Which has led to a decline in the number of turkeys that are being grown.
A particularly bad outbreak of the bird flu wreaking havoc on farms.
Nearly 47 million birds affected across 40 states.
If your turkeys end up with bird flu, any other poultry on the farm, whether it's meat chickens, egg layers, they all have to be exterminated.
And that's just not only a huge financial loss, that's just a really sad situation.
Ah, there you go.
The avian flu.
Yeah, we knew they were killing the birds.
Are they gonna slip in just in time for Thanksgiving some, uh, soy-based turkey?
Well, that'd be a good idea.
Well, they'd have to hurry up.
Yeah, they'd have to develop something.
It might be difficult.
Well, this leads into a final clip about food.
Huge violation.
I did cut him out, but it is from the Tucker Carlson show.
So it is a violation.
I know I'm violating my own rule.
But I just love this guy, Bob Goya from Goya Foods.
Oh, the Goya guy.
I mean, he has, I mean, this is a billion dollar company, I think.
Oh, they're huge.
And by the way, it's their Cezanne d'Eau Total, their general purpose seasoning, which we use religiously in this household and elsewhere around, everyone we know, because this stuff is so good, and get the big giant thing of it.
You can use it on everything, but if you just mix it with some sour cream and stir it up, it's the best buttermilk style ranch dressing you'll ever have.
What's it called?
What seasoning?
It's Goya's, I think it's Sisondo Total.
It's like the total seasoning.
You speak Spanish like I do.
vacumunados si senor si senor anyway this guy rocks really hard At the core of inflation, and it's out of control, especially in food, is evil.
Our desire to control us.
When I was a child, my parents said, never take candy from a stranger.
And they're giving out candy, incentivizing people not to work.
They're taking away our purpose, our spirit, our reason to get up every day.
Yes.
And they're doing it without their own candy.
They're taking our candy and using it to incentivize us not to work.
That's very inflationary.
Work is essential.
It gives us our reason.
I love this gal from Maloney from Italy.
She has this fascist speak, God, family, country.
And you need to have a purpose.
She says we all have our genetic code.
Each one of us is made in likeness of God with our own identity.
So we all have a purpose.
Now you take that purpose away by the very few who want to own us, enslave us, control us for their own greed and power.
For a guy of a major food company to say that, that's pretty big.
They want to control us.
Yeah, he sounds like a lunatic.
Why?
No, it just does.
I mean, it's all, for one thing, it's all knee-jerk stuff, the same stuff on the right that you get from the left.
And it's just, it's all cliches.
I mean, I didn't hear any original thinking there.
No, no, there was no original thinking.
But I think, but for, I don't know, it's like you don't hear a CEO of a major corporation talk like that.
What other CEOs talks like that?
Well, where's the company he headquartered?
I don't know.
Mexico?
Monterey, Mexico maybe?
Yeah.
Yeah, he doesn't have the ESG thing guys coming after him.
It's not very ESG friendly what he did.
Did you hear that United Airlines has ended service at JFK?
I heard they were going to, which is really weird because I think Terminal 6 is one of the gems, you know, of the airport.
Yeah, they say they could not compete.
They're just too small to compete at the airport.
And we'll see flights at the end of October.
United?
Yes!
As long as I've been alive.
Well, they do have a huge presence at Newark.
Newark, yeah, I know.
Okay, yeah, I guess that makes sense.
So they'll be flying Newark.
It's not much different getting into town.
I used to find Newark better.
Much better than JFK.
I think Newark is slightly better than JFK.
JFK's too far out.
It's far out, man.
Although nowadays, if you go to JFK, you take the shuttle to Jamaica Station.
I think it's Jamaica Station.
You get on the train, boom, you go right downtown.
And it's cheap.
Down to Penn Station?
What station?
Yeah, Penn Station.
Well, let me know how that goes next time you're in New York.
I'm not going anytime soon.
I'm gonna show my school by donating to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
Let's go!
We actually have a few people to thank for show 1491, starting with Ryan Shun in Morton Grove, Illinois, 132.
And he made it 132 in honor of the 13-2 record of sumo champion of the September tournament, Tamawashi, for his outstanding performance, he says, in the September.
You know, yeah, he was good, but the tournament was crappy.
Taylor Butcher's next.

He's got some notes in here about something.
Sir Butch.
Oh, he had a friend who worked at Blackwater.
Oh yeah, that was a good piece of info.
He says a friend of mine worked for Blackwater, a security contractor.
He told me that he's been getting relentless calls from recruiters to go to Ukraine to fight for $4,000 a day.
Yeah, it's that kind of money.
It really, it's crazy money for these guys and gals.
Who want to do it.
No wonder there's a bunch of people there.
Yeah.
It's money.
Well, that'll stretch it out.
$4,000 a day.
Geez.
Allison Stang's next on the list.
105.
By the way, Taylor was 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

I would love to be able to do that voice.
Hey, I'm sorry, before I forget, you know Elsa, the comedian, who does Kamala?
Yeah.
She replied on Twitter, she says she's all in.
She wants to do a, uh, you're listening to the No Agenda show, uh, as Kamala.
Oh, to be dynamite.
Yeah, but you said you would write a script and so she's waiting.
Well, I didn't know this and now all of a sudden I'm due a script.
I'm like overdue already without even being told in advance?
You said, I'll write the script.
I said, okay, I'll ask her.
She said, yes, you're tagged on the tweet.
I didn't see.
I don't look at Twitter.
It's a dog piece of crap.
It's going down, man!
Just write a script for her already.
Yeah, I'll be glad to.
I'll write a script.
Give me her email.
I don't even have an email.
I'll see if I can find her on there.

Who's battling Lupus.
Yeah, I did find, uh, I did find a note from John Greer.
Good for you.
So I'll read that first, then we'll do the karma.
In the morning, gentlemen, nothing is so simple that it can't be made complicated.
This donation on, oh, the donation on yesterday's show from the raffle at our Crossroads of America Tribal Meetup in Greenwood slash Indianapolis.
My wife had the winning raffle ticket and so was awarded the $240 gathered from the raffle to be donated to N.A., qualifying her as an associate producer.
I sent our host an additional $93 to be added to the raffle amount, bringing the total donation through PayPal to $333 and bumping my wife's status to executive producer.
Seems no one from the COA Indianapolis Greenwood meetup got the credit for the donation.
Well, just the meetup got it.
If it please the court, could my wife, Doreen Tattnall, be officially validated as executive producer?
Oh, so I should switcheroo her for today's show, I guess?
Yeah, just put her on the list for today.
Let's just do that.
I'm pretty sure that... Hold on a second.
That's the easiest way to do it.
Let me just get the name... Doreen... Doreen Tuttle.
Now, you say that's easy, but there's a lot... You know, we have to... There's a lot of administration that goes into this show.
Oh, yeah.
Backroom.
So, executive producer.
Okay.
We need to outsource the backroom to India.
And then for Piper Rose, Health Karma, who is battling lupus that has caused her kidney shutdown.
Yeah, you bet.
We're gonna throw in a service goat for that, Health Karma.
You've got it.
And thank you to everybody who supported us.
Of course, also everyone who came in under $50.
That is not going to be mentioned for anonymity reasons.
We promise you that.
But there's many sustaining donations people are on, and you can get on one of those as well.
If you'd like to learn... General Karma is asked for too.
We should probably put that.
General Karma is here.
You've got Karma.
Learn more about these karmas and supporting the show at devorag.org slash N-A.
It's your birthday, birthday!
Oh, no, I can't wait!
Short, short, short.
Everything's short today.
Steven Crummy celebrates his 49th birthday today and Dame Lady Get Over It and Sir Hopscotch say happy birthday to Billy Bones!
Ah, it was October 30th, not November 30th.
I gotcha.
Happy birthday, Billy Bones.
We have two important title changes today.
First, we see Sir OG Podcaster Steve Webb become a baronet.
Congratulations to him.
And Sir Kevin McLaughlin, Duke of Luna, lover of America and boobs, is now the Archduke ...of Luna, lover of America and boobs.
He's not far from a grand dukedom.
This guy is fantastic.
Thank you very much, Sir Kevin McLaughlin.
Now known as Archduke, and we appreciate all of the support that you've given us, and your homage to boobs.
Uh, one nighting!
So, uh, just eat your blade?
We can do eat your blade, I think.
There you go.
You got the... the... the blade.
No, I like it.
David Drake, come on up!
David is one of those people who has supported the Noah Jenner Show in the amount of $1,000 or more, and that gives him exclusive rights for today to a knighthood title.
And I'm very proud to pronounce the game him as Duke of Dave, Slayer of Suffering.
But for you, we've got the requisite hookers and blow, Rennboys and Chardonnay.
We've got more stuff for you here in case you're interested.
Harlots and Haldol, pepperoni rolls and pale ales, redheads and ryes.
We've got Brazilian hotties and cachaça.
We've got Rubenes, Ruben and Rosé, geishas and sake, vodka, vanilla, bong hits and bourbon, sparkling cider and escorts, breast milk and pablum.

Ooh, mutton and mead.
Who does not like it?
So you chow down on that.
And when you have a minute, go to noagendanation.com slash rings and send us all the info so we can send you your Signet ring, which you can use to seal your important correspondence with the wax we provide.
And of course, your certificate of authenticity.
I don't know why, but for some reason, the roundtable reminds me of Oktoberfest, which is in Fredericksburg right now.
The big Oktoberfest.
Yeah, that's right.
You have a you have a German celebration in Fredericksburg.
Very famous.
Yep.
Beer Fest, the German Beer Fest.
Yes, beer and wurst and bratwurst.
A lot of brats and beer and should be some singing waitresses.
Funnel cake and lots of humpapa and polka.
Funnel cakes are very unauthentic.
Here's the thing I learned.
When you drink, you go, Zicker, zacker, zicker, zacker!
Hoi, hoi, hoi!
Prost!
No agenda meetups.
No agenda meetups. - Yes.
There should have been one scheduled at the beer garden in the Marktplatz for the Oktoberfest, but we did not do that.
I was sitting prominently, hoping some No Agenda producers might pass by, but we missed them.
No Agenda Meetups, this is where you meet the community that you hear about in the donation segments.
You can meet so many of them.
Now, the Indianapolis meetup has, we've had a lot of out of control things during this show that we've played clips of.
Indianapolis, this thing is getting big.
And now they're like, oh, Adam and Tina, you gotta come.
Hometown game for Tina, gotta show up.
And just listen to how many people are in this, I would say, professionally produced meetup report.
Hi, this is Maria.
And this is Mark.
And this is our first anniversary of Meetups.
And thank you, Adam, for inspiring us.
A whole year of monthly meetings we couldn't do without you.
No exit strategy.
It's the Podfather from Indianapolis here saying thank you, Mark and Maria, for the Crossroads of America.
Get together in the morning, y'all.
Hello, this is Doreen.
I'm married to the father.
Hi guys, this is Diane.
I'm from Greenwood.
This has been fabulous, and I look forward to the next meetup.
Hi, it's Gary.
I just tested positive for common sense and being able to see through the mainstream BS.
Is there a booster or vaccine or some kind of way to get rid of this non-woke-ism?
In the morning, this is Matt from New Palestine.
Recently returned from my exile in California.
Happy to be back in the God's country.
In the morning.
Hello, this is Guzman of the Midwest.

They are scheduled... Let's see.
Let's listen to the promo!
Howdy, Kansas City area producers.
It's time for another meet-up in the state with no brand whatsoever.

Head over to noagendameetups.com and let us know what you'll be throwing on the smoke to make it like a party.
We'll see you there, partner.
Okay.
All right, Kansas.
Well done.
A couple of the meetups.
Brand new one is listed for Monday on the 3rd.
Santiago de Querteraro.
Quer... Queretaro.
I'm sorry.
Santiago de Queretaro.
Queretaro, Mexico.
Queretaro.
I got it.
3 o'clock, Mexico Central.
Central time.
At El Caserio.
Organizers tonight, Sir Michael and Sir Beto.
Believe me, it's not who you think it is.
That would be cool.
Let me know how that goes.
I'm looking forward to a report from that.
Also on Monday, the September 31st Sanity Quencher, I talked to the organizer of this.
I said, don't get fancy with your dates.
If you mean October 3rd, just say October 3rd.
Yeah, but I wanted to get the 33 in there.
No, you're confusing people.
October 3rd, 6 o'clock.
Oh no, I'm sorry.
What time is it?
Yeah, 6 o'clock Pacific.
Sanity Quencher, Superflux Cabana, Victoria, British Columbia, Candanavia.

And then the next show day, which will be Thursday, Shihua Gong Ridge Meetup, number 3, 6.30 Eastern Time, in at the Ridge in Wallkill, New York.
And those are just a few of the many meetups which are scheduled throughout the month of October.
Let me see if there's any other international things.
We have Bavaria, Germany on the 8th.
Bavaria.
Huh?
You said Bavaria.
It is Bavaria.
I always thought it was Bavaria.
Oh, well, I'm pronouncing it the way the Germans would.
Bavaria.
Or any European.
So... Those lederhosen are pretty sexless.
You know what I mean?
It's not a good look.
Don't they wear those in Fredericksburg?
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
A lot of these.
I'm like, eh... No, it's just not a good look.
I'm going to see you in those.
I don't think so.
Thank you very much.
You're in Fredericksburg.
You're obliged.

You want to be where you want to be.
Triggered or held to blame.
You want to be where everybody feels the same.
It's like a party.
I did a Biden.
It's catching.
Stop playing these clips.
It's contagious.
Okay, so we got some isos.
I got four.
No, I only have, I think I have one.
I really, I really fell down on this one.
Alright, well, who goes through my- I got a ha-ha, which is- Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Let me just play mine, since it's gonna be a loser anyway.
Not necessarily.
Oh, please.
Uh, nah, it's- Well, buckle up, buttercup.
Meh.
Nah, you wouldn't like it.
Okay, we already played all of your ISOs.
No, no, we did not play them all.
We have to play them anyway, because... It's the way it works.
Without me jumping all over them because of the wrong ones.
Start with ha-ha.
Okay, ha-ha.
Oops, where did they go?
Here we go, ha-ha.
It's okay.
Okay, it sucks.
Let's go to money.
Money.
They need the money.
I like that one, because we do.
It's going to be a cute ending.
Because we do.
Yeah, we do.
We got, then there's you with Yashur.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, sure, Alice.
No, that's not good, no.
Okay, and then I've got the last one, which is the one I thought we might win, is Go Away.
Go Away.
Well, it's hard, because I... They Need the Money.
I think They Need the Money is funnier.
All right, let's go with that.
Okay, we're going with They Need the Money, because there's always room.
Now, I wanted to play a clip celebrating the fifth anniversary of the Las Vegas carnage.
If you recall, we covered it very... Never, a situation that's never been, as far as I'm concerned, is a crime that's ever been solved.
Open case!
Open case!
It's an open case!
Unsolved mysteries.
That today marks five years since a gunman opened fire on a country music festival in Las Vegas, killing 60 people and wounding hundreds of others.
NPR's Eric Westervelt reports some survivors are still struggling with the fallout of the attack and unanswered questions.
Much of the area where the killing occurred is now overflow parking for Raiders games.
A sign says a memorial is coming.
When is unclear.
Now there is a football parking lot where people were murdered.
It's horribly upsetting.
And so, that's the only thing that's interesting about the report.
They've taken the site and turned it into a football parking lot.
Wow.
This is lacking in respect in some degrees.
I wouldn't think, yeah.
Sixty dead, the plaques never showed up, and the Raiders use it for overflow.
No wonder they can't win.
Well, my final clip here... They're cursed.
They're cursed.
I'm telling you, they're cursed.
They're going to be a losing season.
Yeah, that's possible.
I have two clips to get out there.
This one is from Los Angeles.
LADWP customers can get a huge discount on a new device that monitors how much water they use at a time of course they've been asked to use less.
It's called Flume and will give homeowners the closest look possible at their water usage.
This is so great.
I love this.
After the thermostat story, where, you know, people were surprised, like, hey, wait a minute, I can't turn down my air, the temperature, because I've been hijacked because I took a benefit of $25.
What this does is it gives you the information in real time on your phone or your tablet.
And the idea behind this is that then you immediately will change your behavior.
That change in behavior will hopefully lead to money and water saved.
The flu normally costs $199, but the pilot program lets DWP customers living in single-family homes to buy it for just $24 plus a $25 refundable deposit.
We have a link on our website, kcalmline.com.
If you want to apply for the discount, just click seen on TV.
Wow, I wonder if it would let you know if you have a leak in the house.
Wow!
Wow!
How about this?
It's gonna change your behavior alright, when they turn off the water.
So obvious.
Alright, this one was just, this was like, this was so weird.
Um, I'll just play a little bit of this.
Introducing Optimus, Elon Musk's long-anticipated humanoid robot.
Musk and the Tesla team unveiling the robot at Tesla's 2022 AI Day.
Did you see this thing?
Yeah, I saw it.
They rolled this out once before, as you recall, but it was a fake with a midget in it.
Right.
But now it's real, but here's what I noticed.
It walks like Joe Biden.
Yeah, I should mention it walks exactly like Joe Biden.
It has the walk of a 78-year-old.
Well done, Elon.
I mean, come on.
That was an embarrassment.
Did you think that was cool?
No, it was a piece of junk.
It's just one of his publicity-grabbing stunts.
Yeah, that guy.
Hey man, Twitter should be a decentralized blockchain.
Alright, Elon.
What do you say, John?
We've insulted everybody we can, I think.
Well, we've tried, anyway.
It is a goal.
It is a goal.
We look forward to seeing y'all on the next show, which will be on Thursday.
I'm sure we'll have plenty to report.
Remember, it's October!
Be on the lookout for a surprise!
And only one end of show mix that we got from Sir Michael Anthony, so we'll play that.
And up next on the stream...
Get ready to boost them, bowls with buds, featuring special guest Eric Yakes.
That'll be live on noagendastream.com and of course you can go to trollroom.io to troll along.
Let them know how much you enjoy doing that.
We'll be back on Thursday.
Until then, coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, here in FEMA Region No.
6.
In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
Well, I'm John C. Dvorak.
I wasn't paying attention.
You were pooping.
Please remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA until Thursday.
Adios, mofos!
Huey Huey and such.
As I walk through my city full of violence and death, I smell of marijuana joy and I got to hold my breath.
Cause New York's been going downhill so long that even that trash from last week it still ain't gone.
But I ain't never fired no one that didn't deserve it.
Spitting shots without a jab, you know that's unheard of.

I don't want no protestors on my block.
