This is your award-winning Game of Nation media assassination episode 1492.
This is no agenda.
We got dogs in the studio and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6.
In the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're all worried about Russia.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Crack, Blot, and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
Forget Russia, man.
What if one of the dogs has to poop?
That's the problem.
We got dogs in the studio.
Stop tape.
I can't believe you made me stop tape.
You said stop tape.
You said stop tape.
That means stop tape.
No, it was a response to what you said.
Oh, please.
No, you said, like, stop tape.
I'm like, no!
That was the stupidest thing ever.
I actually stopped the tape.
It's a comedy act.
It's no good.
Yeah, is everybody worried about Russia?
Yeah, nuclear war.
It's all going to happen.
Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia.
You know what I'm thinking as I'm looking at this military, this winning that Ukraine is doing?
Oh, they're winning.
Well, they're winning.
They're winning.
You know, so Russia is retreating In certain... Is it possible just... I'm no military strategist.
No.
Thanks for confirming.
I'm wondering, just looking at the map, do you think they might be being led into a trap?
Who, the Ukrainians?
Yeah.
What kind of a trap?
You know, Russians strategically pulling back, Ukrainians coming forward, circle around, BAM!
Trap.
After all this time that's been, this whole war's been going on, you think the Russians, the current Russian military leadership is capable of creating such a thing?
Not according to our media.
Is there any supporting evidence to this thesis?
Well no, we have no evidence of anything.
All we have is word salads.
We don't have anything, of course not.
I don't know.
I mean, you're telling me Ukraine is winning?
No.
Okay.
That's what I mean.
I'll tell you who's winning.
Yeah, the military-industrial complex.
Yeah, and the Biden crime family.
Yeah, listen to this.
This morning, Ukrainian forces taking back territory Russia has only just tried to claim as its own.
Ukraine smashing through Russian defense lines in the southern Herson region, advancing nearly 20 miles in two days.
Soldiers celebrating the liberation of villages along the way, tearing down Russian flags and using them to wipe their feet.
Saying, glory to Ukraine, glory to the heroes.
Military bloggers reporting a section of the Russian front line collapse.
What happened to Dan Rather on the front line with his flak jacket and his helmet?
Now ABC, who uses a Brit, of course, And now they're resorting to bloggers?
Military bloggers, not any other bloggers.
I'm sorry.
Military bloggers?
You're right.
What am I thinking?
Saying glory to Ukraine, glory to the heroes.
Military bloggers reporting a section of the Russian front line collapse is so serious they may lose their grip on Herson.
While in the Northeast, Ukraine appearing to be closer to taking more towns after their recent success in the Donbass.
In a phone call to Ukrainian President Zelensky, President Biden reaffirming his promise to help defend Ukraine as long as it takes and pledging to another $625 million in military assistance.
Nice.
Is that your sound effect?
No, that's them, man.
I feel like... No, no, no.
Well, let's listen.
Let me see if I can compare it.
Sounds a bit like it.
what we use.
No, no, no.
Well, let's listen.
Let me see if I can compare it.
And $25 million in military assistance.
Including four more HIMAR rocket systems.
Sounds a bit like it.
I have...
That's me.
Wow, that does sound like...
You could have fooled me.
Sounds like they're winning.
As long as it takes and pledging to another $625 million in military assistance.
Including four more HIMAR rocket systems which help the Ukrainian troops strike deep into occupied territory and are helping them with their latest battlefield breakthroughs.
You could have fooled me.
Sounds like they're winning.
I heard a lot of missiles going.
Yeah, somebody's doing something.
So, it sounds...
A lot of sound effects.
Don't you miss Cohen around this time, Professor Cohen?
Remember him?
Yeah, he would have told like it is.
We'd be all caught up today.
We wouldn't have to be speculating.
Well, we got a new guy.
I'm sure you saw at least a portion of this clip, but the whole, I mean, there's more to it than was a lot more interesting, actually, this Jeffrey Sachs.
Guy, Professor Jeffrey Sachs, who was on Bloomberg Television and he blamed everything on the U.S.
Maybe you didn't see it.
It's no good.
Well, let's play this for a second because this was kind of interesting.
I've got the counter argument after you're done.
Sure, oh yeah, sure.
Hey, I'm just telling you what the guy is saying.
But it was really interesting from a media perspective, the way Uh, the host responded and just thought, the way the whole interview was, but this guy does have some credentials.
Listen.
We speak now to Jeffrey Sachs to say he's economic professor at Columbia University, barely describes his contribution.
I want to make note that he was 10 years out front on the collapse of American education and the struggle of two Americas.
But Jeff, I must digress to your take on the war in Ukraine and on the Russia- What?
This guy, he's like, he sounds like he's gonna die.
The host.
If you look at him, it looks like he minds, but it's beyond the point.
He's just giving the credentials.
And what's this idea that 10 years ago he predicted the downfall of American education?
What's he talking about?
Hey, John.
It's been on the decline since the 60s, but okay.
Just give it a... I know you have the counter-argument, and I know it's very tedious.
I'm not pushing for my counter-argument yet.
You're pre-bunking.
You're pre-pushing the bunking.
I'm pre-bunking.
Stop it!
You do so well under Yeltsin.
You're in the Atlantic this week, and they're equating you with Mearsheimer of Chicago as the realest out there.
What should be our response to Mr. Putin with your thoughts on war and aggression after the human atrocities that are reported?
I was attacked in the Atlantic for being on the side of peace, and I confess I'm on the side of peace.
I am very worried that we are on a path of escalation to nuclear war, nothing less than that.
And we have essentially a war in which Russia feels that this war is at the core of its security interests.
The United States insists that it will do anything to support Ukraine's defeat of Russia.
Russia views this as a proxy war with the United States.
Whatever one thinks about this, this is a path of extraordinarily dangerous escalation.
I am very furious.
Right.
You lived this with Yeltsin.
You were there for Gorbachev and Yeltsin.
He's clearly been around.
But there's nothing less than nuclear war.
He's an economics professor?
Mm-hmm.
He knows about war.
That's all.
That's all.
War is economics.
Basically.
Basically.
All right, so here's the money shot.
Europe is in a very, very sharp economic downturn.
The sharp decline of output and living standards also shows up as a rise of prices.
But the main fact is that the European economy is getting hammered by this, by the sudden cutoff of energy.
And now, to make it definitive, the destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline which i i would bet was a u.s action perhaps u.s and poland uh this is quite a statement as well why do you feel that that was a u.s action what evidence do you have of that well first of all there's direct radar evidence that u.s uh
helicopters, military helicopters that are normally based in Gdansk, were circling over this area.
We also had the threats from the United States earlier in this year that one way or another, we are going to end Nord Stream.
We also have a remarkable statement by Secretary Blinken last Friday in a press conference.
He says, this is also a tremendous opportunity It's a strange way to talk if you're worried about the piracy on international infrastructure of vital significance.
So I know this runs counter to our narrative.
You're not allowed to say these things in the West.
But the fact of the matter is, all over the world, when I talk to people, they think the U.S.
did it.
And by the way, even reporters.
On our papers that are involved, tell me privately.
Well, of course, but it doesn't show up in our media.
Professor, I want to get into the tit-for-tat about what did or did not happen with Nord Stream because I don't have the evidence and we don't have a counterbalance to this.
Yeah, no tit-for-tat and we got no one.
Oh, luckily we do have someone to counterbalance it.
His name is John C. Dvorak.
First of all, did you hear that only one of the nor- I was under the impression that both the pipelines were hit.
The latest news is that Nord Stream 2 is untouched.
I was initially under the impression that it was Nord Stream 1, and that's why I didn't give much credence to the Newland and Biden chatter, because they were talking about Nord Stream 2, which effectively was rendered, I don't think it was ever put operational.
But then later, and I'm not sure where it came from, I heard it was both, so I'm not sure.
Well then I heard it was the Baltic II, I heard it was all three.
Then I heard it was two, then I heard it was now just one.
Now we don't know who did it.
And then I heard that Nord Stream 1 wasn't operational anyway because they were repairing it.
This whole thing is bullcrap.
I can give you, you want to hear Brennan?
Is he going to tell me that you're guilty until proven to have maybe committed a crime?
Pretty much.
Do you think Russia's behind the sabotage of the pipelines?
Leading the witness.
I think all the signs point to some type of sabotage.
These pipelines are only in about 200 feet or so of water and Russia does have an undersea capability that would easily lay explosive devices by those pipelines and I do think it's a signal to Europe that Russia can reach beyond Ukraine's borders.
So who knows what he might be planning next.
But I think this is clearly an act of sabotage of some sort.
And Russia is certainly the most likely suspect.
Why blow up their own pipelines if they can obviously just cut off the gas flowing from them?
Well, there's been no gas flowing through those pipelines, although there's some gas that's been in them.
That's why we've had the methane release.
But there's also pipelines that are going into Europe that are bringing gas from Norway.
And so it won't take much to go after the other pipelines that are bringing gas into Europe.
So I think this might be a sign that Russia is intent on doing whatever it believes it needs to do in order to And you know, he sounds like he doesn't know what he's talking about.
This may be just the first salvo of some additional things that might be coming toward Europe.
And von der Leyen, Queen Ursula, backs him up by saying, EU infrastructure, a target for the first time in recent history.
So that's the narrative.
And, you know, he sounds like he doesn't know what he's talking about.
Well, has he ever?
Not as you mentioned it.
No, I don't think so.
What I thought was funny is Professor Sachs there, he said, you know, for the first time there's radar evidence of U.S.
planes flying over the area where the explosion took place.
And I know where he got that from, because I went looking for it.
I'm like, oh yeah, there's radar evidence.
You know who deconstructed this?
No.
No one less than MonkeyWorks.
Do you remember MonkeyWorks?
No, I don't remember Monkey Works.
Monkey Works is the guy who, I think it was during the pandemic, maybe around the time of the election probably.
All of it.
He's looking at military flights.
He says, look, here's a rendition.
It's going to Guantanamo Bay and it has Kamala Harris on it.
She's been arrested.
Remember that?
So that was from Monkey Works.
This time, he's actually kind of convincing.
He has a map of all the ADS-B, of all the call signs and the traffic.
Here's a little piece I pulled for you.
But right there, you can see, this is where their altitude, as they came in, they did their little spin, they started doing their dive down, getting a little lower altitude.
Key to this is that they didn't really need to drop their altitude.
They did.
They got it down to probably something manageable from 26,000 feet.
They were sub-10,000.
But I will tell you, the weapon system they used can be launched at altitude and at cruise speed.
It's a very fascinating system called the Hawk.
We're gonna look closer at that here in a second, but notice they run downrange and they do the little turnaround and they start coming back.
A little dovetail again on the route.
They spin here and then they come in.
This right here is where I believe that was the weapons release because you'll see.
And the only reason I say that is because I remember being on B-52s doing a live weapons drop and dropping, you know, 2,000 pounders or whatever.
And that B-52 would actually, you could feel it lift as the weight came off of it.
It would just kind of give you a little bit of a hop.
And then you'd kind of level it back in and settle in on your run.
And then you can see it, that little uptick right here, that little uplift, more than likely weapons dropped down here.
They came in and then they went over to their site.
And then of course they go rolling this way.
For the first time, he's actually compelling.
I liked it.
That was very interesting.
And he's right.
You would get an uplift.
It's like throwing ballast out of a hot air balloon.
You know, you go up.
Yeah.
Makes sense.
This guy, well, you know, I got to catch back up with this monkey man.
Monkey works with an axe.
Yeah.
He even, he shows how that plane came over from Germany and they refueled in mid-flight.
You can see them circling, refueling.
And then, you know, when he's full of fuel, he breaks off and he goes and he drops the weaponry, apparently.
Yeah, it's possible.
Well, no, not my counter stuff.
I've got clips from our old friend, you won't remember him until I remind you, this weird character called Michael McFaul.
He was the ambassador to Russia during the Obama administration and he's a Rhodes Scholar Oh, I do remember him.
He's an intelligence guy.
He has a background in being a part of the intelligence.
And I don't know that he's CIA, but he's obviously connected.
He's part of this group out of Stanford, which I was looking into and I didn't really knew.
It's just laden, laden with intelligence guys called the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies.
And everybody in there's got the white hair and the super time.
The whole place is crawling.
On brand, on brand.
It's totally on brand.
Well, we had a clip from McFaul about Russia protests in 2012.
Yeah, he's been around.
He was also a major... He was an MSNBC correspondent like they... Oh, okay.
Yeah.
During the Trump administration, so he could keep blasting Trump for being a doofus.
Yeah.
So... I think I remember him.
Why don't you play that clip from 2012?
Okay.
I don't see anything wrong about that.
What I do think is wrong is when it's not a conversation based on facts, right?
So when we heard and I heard time and time again that, you know, McFaul is paying for the political opposition in Russia, that is not true.
That is not true.
True.
Everybody, that is not true.
Clearly true.
You have to say it five times because people don't want, you know... To hear a lie.
...have a political reason not to allow that truth to get through.
You know, we support civil society.
We support the electoral observers.
We're proud of that work.
They did good work.
But we're not getting involved in those kinds of things.
With respect to the attacks on Secretary Clinton and me, all I would say is our strategy for dealing with that is to engage as directly and as smartly and comprehensively as possible.
Yeah, that was reset one when Clinton was at State and she brought over the big reset button and it said something else like, fuck you, in Russian.
Yeah.
When they were meddling, this is what started the whole idea that the Russians were meddling in our election, because we were indeed meddling in their election, and that clip was pre-2014 when we decided to send some real activists over to Ukraine.
Yeah, the NGOs.
Well, the NGOs were in Russia, and then we did the real deal.
The NGOs were in Russia until...
Then we did the real deal in 2014 in Maidan.
So, Paul's been around.
He's a professor at Stanford.
He was a professor at Stanford before.
He's got, again, Rhodes Scholars.
One of the few ambassadors in Moscow that had a bullet shot through his window at his office in the embassy.
Really?
That I didn't remember.
I only read it just a few minutes ago.
There's a guy.
So when we hear this discussion with him about Ukraine, I look at it not as anything other than an official.
narrative that we're pushing out there for some reason.
I don't know what it is.
I'm with you.
I'm with you.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
Of course.
Okay.
After 15 years?
Yeah, baby.
I hear you.
You know what I mean.
Heard, chef.
One of these guys.
Okay, let's go.
This is Ukraine.
This is an analysis.
If you are following events in Russia and Ukraine closely, you could be forgiven for wondering if Vladimir Putin has backed himself into a corner.
Many thousands of Russians are fleeing the country, trying to avoid being drafted to fight in the war.
Phony so-called elections in four Ukrainian provinces, provinces which Russia now says it has annexed, are being mocked in capitals around the world.
And on the battlefield, Ukraine keeps winning.
So where does all this leave Putin?
What cards does he still hold?
Questions I want to put now to Michael McFaul.
He served as U.S. ambassador.
Ambassador to Russia from 2012 to 2014 and now is the Director of the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies at Stanford University.
Ambassador, great to speak with you.
Thanks for having me.
Over the weekend, you tweeted this, quote, Putin needs to cut his losses before it's too late.
Explain.
Well, the conventional wisdom out there, including analysts in our country and around the world, is that Putin can accept defeat.
He will double down.
He'll fight to the end.
He might even use nuclear weapons.
I've known Putin for a long time, written about him for decades.
That would be my prediction, too.
Hey, where's...
Yeah, go ahead.
I ended it there.
I've edited that clip.
Part of it goes on.
I ended it there because what he said, if you listen to the whole of it, why are we even listening to you then?
Exactly.
It's like, why are you being interviewed?
Well, everyone thinks this and this and this and this and that, and I think I would say the same thing.
Well, then why are we even talking to you?
With that as the premise, we continue.
Because he has more information, I'm sure.
New crap has come to light, yes.
And most certainly, he is doubling down now, right?
He's not retreating.
He's trying to mobilize 300,000.
He's been doing that right thing since 2012.
And most certainly, he is doubling down.
He's been doing it since 2000.
Yeah, right.
Right, right.
And most certainly, he is doubling down now, right?
He's not retreating, he's trying to mobilize 300,000 soldiers, and he's up the ante by annexing territory the size of Portugal.
And just, let's be clear, this is really unprecedented.
This is a more aggressive Vladimir Putin than we were watching even six months ago.
Exactly.
But that doesn't mean he'll be successful.
And what I was trying to say in that tweet, if he was rational, he might think about cutting his losses.
But tragically, and I say this, I want to emphasize that word tragically, if he did say, OK, I'm done.
Let me have Donbass and Crimea, the places I was basically controlling before.
I think there would be a lot of leaders around the world that might support him.
That would be a face-saving way out.
It's not my prediction, but it would be a different way out than just fighting forever.
Do we know if Putin understands how badly things are going for Russia and Ukraine?
That's a great question, and I don't have a great answer.
I know from past experience, and certainly in the run-up to the initial invasion decision, that he had bad information.
By the way, he's had bad information for a long time.
Even when I was ambassador, we used to write cables back to Washington talking about how small his inner circle is, and he doesn't listen to anybody.
That was a long time ago, gotten worse, especially during COVID.
What I don't know, has he corrected for that right now?
I would not say there's any evidence to suggest that he has.
In terms of what other things might influence how things play out, what signs are you watching for as to whether there may be any cracks, any fissures emerging among Putin's inner circle?
I mean, it's one thing to have pressure from below to have people protesting or hopping on planes to flee the country.
What about at the top?
You're seeing signs.
You're seeing signs?
Yeah, he says, first of all, and I think that this is a messaging service NPR is providing.
Isn't all of mainstream a messaging service?
The elite communications channel?
And I think, generally when they bring somebody like this on, so when he makes the commentary that if Putin bails out, they would probably give him Donbass, at least the European community would say.
Oh no, I completely, so what you're saying, you're saying is because the guy comes on with really nothing to say, it is NPR, it's not a trashy cable news outfit, so it has some Some credibility.
It's also audio, so you can easily forward it to Vlad's iPhone.
He knows this guy.
Vladimir knows the guy.
The guy knows Vlad.
They know each other.
They know each other.
It's like, hey bro, so here's a little proposal.
Okay, I like it.
It's not what I'm predicting, he says.
I don't know why he says that, but I think he wants to... It's kind of like if you're signaling somebody, you don't want to also be taking credit for predicting something.
That would be as if the Vatican called me and said, hey, the Pope is going to be this guy.
Which is exactly what they did.
It's exactly what happened.
I forgot to disclaim it.
I'm not predicting he'll be the Pope.
I'm just saying.
Okay, let's continue with this.
There are small signs, we shouldn't exaggerate them, but I'm struck by how much just in the last 48 hours has happened.
So, this guy Kadyrov, he's the leader of Chechnya.
He's a very nasty, horrible person, you know, but a strong man who brought law and order to Chechnya.
He is now criticizing, they've lost the war, they have to fight harder.
Mr. Prigozhin, he runs a group called the Wagner Group, a private paramilitary operation with forces fighting in Ukraine.
He said something even worse, like the general should be thrown to the front lines and be killed.
You see it on the television shows.
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
Whose paramilitary group is fighting in the front line?
He's some Russian guy.
Mr. Prigozhin, he runs a group called the Wagner Group, a private paramilitary operation with forces fighting in Ukraine.
He said something even worse, like the general should be thrown to the front lines and be killed.
You see it on the television shows.
I watched these shows from time to time to get a feel for the mood, and they're lamenting what's happening.
And if that's what's being said in public, I can only imagine what's being said privately by elites in Moscow today.
Okay.
That's pretty interesting.
Yeah, I thought so.
It goes on, it continues.
I didn't clip any more of it because it was getting tedious, but, uh...
There's a little something going on here.
Yeah, well it's interesting you bring that up because I had a similar thought that there were two journalists at the OPEC meeting who were also there to either as a sign up or or to send a message.
Well first here's a brief clip on what happened in case anyone missed it.
New worries about oil and gas prices today.
OPEC is expected to cut production at a meeting today, and as a result, prices jumped 3% yesterday.
Meanwhile, gas prices are surging in California, even topping $8 a gallon at some stations, due in part to refinery issues and regulations.
Is that true?
$8 a gallon?
Oh, I haven't seen that.
This is $6.75 is what I'm looking at, but it's $7 I think here and there.
What happened was, and Jay's boyfriend was involved in this, Standard Oil, the Chevron refinery, one of the biggest in the West Coast, they had some issues with their union, and they were going to go on strike.
And so this strike came down to a deadline where we're going to all walk out, and the refinery is going to have to be completely shut down.
During that moment, the refinery was slowed down.
They didn't shut it down, but they took a lot of stuff offline.
Refineries can't be started overnight.
No.
It takes about a month actually to get them up to full speed and then you can push the limits in the after hours.
So that had nothing to do with Putin?
No, it had nothing to do with Putin.
It had to do with a strike just around the corner.
They're lying!
If you go on strike, they'd have to shut this thing down really quick.
So they had it pretty much half shut down.
They're lying!
And they're still in the process of bringing it up to full capacity.
I just talked to them yesterday about it.
It's not at full capacity yet.
So they're lying.
Well, I don't know who's lying.
The journalist is lying, saying it's because of... No, they hinted, they hinted, if you listen to... Regulatory issues.
No, they said refinery issues.
Yeah, refinery and regulatory issues.
Yeah, true.
Yeah, but refinery issues.
The refinery issues is exactly what I just said.
It's a strike.
It's a strike.
Yeah.
So they have this meeting and they have a press conference and there's two journalists and they ask very interesting questions.
The first one is this woman, Hadley, I think.
She's from CNBC.
So she's over at this meeting and both journalists are addressing the prince, you know, the prince who's in charge of whatever.
The prince.
He's the guy.
Bin something.
Bin Solomon?
No, no, not Bin Solomon.
No, the energy prince.
They kind of prince for everything over there.
He has a dude, you know, he's got the garb and the glasses.
It's some dude.
Got it.
It's the dude.
Come on.
So here's the question from CNBC's journalist.
Your old highness, I want to kick off by asking you specifically a question that I asked of Vladimir Putin a year ago.
Are you using energy as a weapon?
It was a question that he denied, but there are people in Washington and in the White House who right now are looking at the cuts that OPEC Plus is making, and they are saying that this is an aggressive move by OPEC.
And they're very, very curious to understand why this organization that they call a cartel is moving against the United States.
states and europe and mr secretary general to follow on to that when i spoke to you just a couple of months ago you said you had an open door policy to european policymakers have they entered that door are you having those conversations with them but i have to tell you there is a huge narrative coming from the west right now that opec as you say a band of brothers but as they would say at this point that this clip actually switches to a like a an on-camera mic for some reason to get her reverse shot so it's crappy
Coming from the West right now, that OPEC, as you say, a band of brothers, but as they would say, a cartel, is attempting to hold the world hostage, just as Vladimir Putin has done when it comes to energy prices.
Thank you, Jones.
So, before we get to his answer, doesn't that sound like a message?
Like, hey, are you trying to be like Putin?
Because we've got news for you.
Yeah, totally.
That woman is a provocateur of some sort.
An agent.
Yeah, she's an agent.
And so she came in and we were just told to do this.
And asked the question in a very pointed way.
Yeah, Washington's wondering what you're doing.
There's a narrative, i.e.
we're building a narrative about you, that you're no better than Putin.
What's the deal, bro?
That's what I heard.
Here's Prince Bin Bin Bin's answer.
Question, which I, you know, I take pleasure of answering Hadi with a quick, not a big answer.
Show me where is the act of belligerence, period.
Show me where is the act of belligerence, period.
Goodbye.
Shut up.
And then came the Reuters reporter.
I think it's another messenger.
Alex Orloff from Reuters News Agency.
I have two questions.
So we had the CIA a moment ago and here's MI6 I guess.
Alex Orloff from Reuters News Agency.
I have two questions.
So you have got it wrong.
Okay.
And you have got it wrong twice.
Before I ask a question, I will get it wrong.
And you will get it the third time if you, you know, you did, as a writer, did not do a proper job.
You talked about Russia doing this and that, and actually, the day that your story came out, no one from Russia talked to me, nor I talked to anybody from Russia.
You repeated that again with another tale of a story prior to that, that Saudi and Russia are congregating around a $100 price.
That is not true.
And I spent 20 minutes from one of your respected members of your bureau in Dubai explaining to her, or actually 25 minutes, why we don't go as Saudi Arabia for price targeting.
And that 25 minutes went in vain.
And I really don't like that.
I acted in a very respectful way, emanating from respecting the agency.
And I think, but you elected, you elected to choose a phantom Saudi source.
A saucy source, if I can do it as British as I could.
If you have a question, direct it to others, but not me.
I'm not talking to Reuters.
Until you respect the source, which is the Energy Minister, on behalf of the Saudi government.
Okay, thank you.
I will not do this.
So you will ask questions to any of my colleagues.
So, it's fake news, I think is what he said.
So they're running with this guy already.
Yeah.
He said, hey, saucy sources.
What's that?
I called him saucy source!
Yeah.
So he says, I'm not talking to Reuters.
He's basically saying you guys are no good.
And Reuters building the narrative that this was price fixing.
He's in cahoots with Putin doing the same thing.
That's an interesting series of clips.
There's stuff abound.
Stuff is happening.
Well, I mean, obviously Biden going to visit the Saudis was a botch.
And then getting this.
Way to go, Joe.
It was botched and then blinking or somebody else went there from the State Department.
They didn't do any better and they can't get this war under control.
We have a State Department that just is no good.
We shouldn't have any of these issues at all.
The oil issue shouldn't be happening.
No.
Gasoline should be the price it was two years ago.
And there should be no... This action in Ukraine is nonsense.
It should have been stopped.
And we should be getting along with Russia fine.
They had to bring Russia into the picture in 2016 just to turn him into the bad guy.
For what purpose?
So the Biden crime family can make some extra money in these Ukrainian deals they were doing?
Yeah, I would say so.
I would say that Ukraine is such a problem that we had to go, and also the financial system, there's a lot of stuff going on.
But the question now is, as I was reading my daily Natural Gas World magazine, Uh, where is Europe going to get its gas from?
And so they've started on this mad dash to build, uh, LNG terminals.
In the meantime, you know, they're using barges.
Takes two years to build a complete terminal.
Exactly.
Exactly.
They're using barges.
Uh, they're woefully unprepared, but it looks like we're the main benefactors.
Well.
You know?
I'm not.
Is the United States as a whole?
I'm not sure.
Is it just a few oil companies?
No, of course not.
Of course not.
And most of the oil companies are international.
Of course not.
I understand.
I'm just saying it as a point of reference.
And it's getting pretty interesting.
I was reading a story that during this cold, cold winter that's coming for the European Union, some mobile networks may just be turning off their cell towers.
Yes, that's not a news story.
That's from like a week ago.
I think it was longer than that because they were talking about it as part of the global warming thing.
They had to shut these towers off at night.
And now it's not global warming, now it's Putin.
Well, same thing.
It's Putin.
Somehow they're going to make Putin responsible for global warming.
They have such a great, oh man, all you have to do is watch Europe now.
You watch Europe and you know what's coming here.
So what did we see a couple weeks ago?
It started with Queen Ursula, we made fun of it, but where are they going?
What is the great hope of Europe's fix for these horrible fossil fuels and dirty Russian gas and oil?
What is the fix?
The fix is clean hydrogen!
And we've been scratching our heads over this.
Okay.
I mean, there's certainly nothing that's clean yet.
In fact, most of the production is dirty.
Some dream exists that they'll be able to, through hydrolysis, be able to, from solar and wind energy, get hydrogen and, I don't know, capture it and either send it off to filling stations.
I don't know.
I mean, you have a hydrogen station near you, right?
No, they're building one near me, supposedly a six-pump station.
Yeah?
Which I doubt, because I know the property and I don't see how they can get six more pumps in there.
And I haven't seen any station that has more than one hydrogen pump.
Now will they be generating the hydrogen on premises?
No, it has to be piped in.
We've talked about this with some letter writers.
In fact, Grand Duke David Foley is involved in the hydrogen process now to such a point that he can discuss it at a higher level than I can.
He's consulting with somebody.
Silicon Valley guy.
I love it, I love it.
That's what you do.
Well, he's right.
And there's gonna be, it's gonna be a bonanza and I'm very happy for our Grand Duke.
Here is the Honorable Jennifer Graham, Secretary of Energy of the United States Department of Energy with an invitation!
Hello everyone.
I am delighted to invite companies and governments to Washington, D.C.
on October 10th and 11th for the Hydrogen Americas Summit, which is co-hosted by the U.S.
Department of Energy and the Sustainable Energy Council.
This is going to be a tremendous opportunity to showcase new policies, new projects, convene decision makers and stakeholders and enthusiasts, to help make the Americas a global leader on clean hydrogen.
Innovating and accelerating clean hydrogen is going to be essential to help tackle the climate crisis and importantly to diversify our energy future.
We are going to be pushing for real progress to deploy, deploy, deploy this critical clean energy technology and I look forward to seeing you in Washington.
You know, this is the head of the Department of Energy, the Energy Department, that I swear, I bet you, that she couldn't identify a pipe wrench from a monkey wrench in a lineup.
I know she doesn't know what a pipe wrench looks like.
Of course not.
And it reminds me immediately of Steve Ballmer.
Developers!
Deploy!
That was reminded me of Nancy Pelosi.
Right.
Deploy.
So there's another one of these welcome come to our summit videos which has a lot of information in it about the timeline and it's the audio is shit.
This woman who, what is her name?
Dr. Sunita Satyapal.
And she has her invitation to the Hydrogen America Summit.
And what she did is she's on one of those Zoom things with a room mic.
She hits the background instead of just a green screen.
Her hair is like chopped off.
It's unbelievable they put this crap out there.
I tried to do some filtering.
I hope you can hear it.
On behalf of the U.S.
Department of Energy's hydrogen program, I'm pleased to invite you to the Hydrogen America Summit.
Is that audible enough?
You know, I can hear when she says hydrogen.
You can play it a little longer.
If it gets so annoying, I'll tell you.
Now, this is such an exciting time for hydrogen.
Last year, our Secretary of Energy launched the Hydrogen Shots, a bold, ambitious mission to see the cost of one dollar or one kilogram of clean hydrogen in one decade.
Which requires all hands on deck from research to deployments.
And now the bipartisan infrastructure law is.
Supercharging our efforts with $9.5 billion to advance electrolyzers and manufacturing and to launch regional clean hydrogen hubs.
And now these investments are being amplified by new policies in the Inflation Reduction Act, including the Hydrogen Production Tax Credit and expanded loan guarantee authorities to accelerate market liftoff.
Now, Collaboration and coordination are more critical than ever across government agencies and industry and research labs, academia, all communities, to create a competitive and equitable and resilient clean energy economy.
And ultimately, our success or failure will know no boundaries.
So it's time for collaboration across sections, And across borders, as we look to our neighbors, the Americas, I hope to see you in person in Washington, D.C.
in October.
October 10th and 11th.
So it's nine billion dollars.
Way to go, Foley!
Our failure will know no boundaries?
What does that mean?
She literally said our success or failure will know no boundaries.
What is no boundaries to failure?
That means we get wiped out.
We're all going to go down?
Correct!
We get wiped out.
We're done!
We're done!
But think about this bonanza.
How can we get in on this action?
I'm thinking we bring back the hydroxy booster.
There's definitely some, uh, there's something, you know, I think I have mixed feelings about it being anything other than just a pie in the sky.
Typical Silicon Valley has its hooks in it.
That means it's, you know, probably scammish just from the get go.
Um, I don't know.
And this whole idea, you know, this reminds me of, I have another clip coming up that is about the gender thing.
And I concluded after listening to this last one, because it's still another hospital, that there was a seminar somewhere, someplace, and I want somebody to tell me what it was and when it was and where it was, which is a seminar that came out and said, hey, You guys can be making a lot of money, and here's the breakdown.
If you do these gender operations and sell these hormone blockers and do this... You played the clip.
It was horrible audio, but you played the clip.
You had the clip.
Yeah, but it wasn't the genesis.
I want to know where the genesis is, the starting point, where this all began.
It was at some specific spot.
And there is something that happened with this so-called hydrogen economy that's the same thing.
It was a big event sometime in the past that brought all this stuff.
It's the group thing, the stuff you see, you know, where everyone all of a sudden agrees on something.
I'm sure it was one of those Agenda 21 copped 35,000 meetings.
It must have happened there.
It was something, but those things have been continuing.
Ursula, but Ursula launched it.
She's the one that launched it the minute we got... I think she's part of it.
I think she's one of the people that went to the original seminar though.
There was an event.
With booth babes and stuff.
Yeah!
With booth babes.
A conference.
Yeah, and they had a bunch of speakers who all said that we're on the same page and they all had the same bullcrap.
There's got to be evidence.
And they, no, and you know, and they're all shaking, you can see in the audience, you see these things, they're all shaking their heads, oh yeah, yeah, that's what it, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, look at all the money we can make.
Hey, how about a TED?
How about a TED conference?
There's no evidence that TED's ever started anything.
Just show me some evidence.
There's no evidence.
My famous no evidence line.
John C. No Evidence Dvorak.
It's the CYA of the ages.
Well, Ted right now is experiencing technical difficulties.
Why?
I don't know.
It says... I'm just telling you.
He didn't like it.
Uh, yeah, so maybe someone knows the event that kicked this off, but she was the one that brought it to the forefront with the hydrogen, clean hydrogen.
She was at the event.
Yeah, she was at the event.
Um, so all, all of this is...
By the way, these great climate-fighting tools... I got a lot of boots-on-the-ground reports from Florida.
The media really moved on from this.
No, I'm sorry.
The media and what's going viral is stuff like this.
What the governor's done is pretty remarkable.
This is what he's done.
In terms of, you know, it's...
First of all, the biggest thing the governor's done and some of the others have done, they've recognized there's a thing called global warming.
The world is changing.
It's changing.
So Biden, after going to Puerto Rico, goes to Florida and then says, hey, you know, the governor's doing a good job because he recognizes climate change.
So he can't say good job on saving people.
No, no, he recognizes climate change.
And other Floridians also recognize climate change, and that's why they all bought Teslas and other electric vehicles.
And so there's a lot of reports about these automobiles now catching fire.
The batteries don't do well when submerged.
If you submerge the whole car, that thing is going to blow.
That's what's happening.
And you can't put it out.
It's in water.
It won't go out.
Nope, it won't go out and the batteries are corroding.
It's probably an ecological nightmare.
We have a number of people... Yeah, all that extra lithium in the wall, that's got you right.
I never even thought of the contamination effect.
So Ed Ryan, who's the editor of Radio Inc.
Magazine, a podcast business journal, and a friend.
He's done a lot of reporting on podcasting 2.0, but he's in Fort Myers.
And he does a podcast called Pete's Time Out, and he's raising money.
He says people have no idea.
No idea how bad it is.
Fort Myers Beach, they still won't let anyone back.
It's been that way, I guess, for a week now.
And they think there's, like you said, there's thousands of people who died there.
I have two clips from the Florida situation.
I have the looting clip.
Yes, and the looting, yeah.
But I'm just saying, before we just move away, It's such a disservice that the media is doing to the people of Florida, and we know why they're doing it, because they don't really care.
Just like Ukraine, they have military bloggers, so they've got climate bloggers they're probably listening to, and they don't feel it's necessary to report on it, because we can't risk making DeSantis look good, or getting, I don't know what it is, but it's clearly, they just moved on!
And this is much worse then is being told to the rest of the country.
It's kind of despicable.
It's totally despicable.
You're right.
They don't want to make DeSantis look good.
No.
Everyone says he's... What does Ed say?
He says he's a rock star.
Yeah, he says the problem is the local government.
Now, here's another thing.
Let's talk to the climatologist.
Because, you know, Fort Myers Beach was not supposed to be in the cone until the last minute.
All of a sudden, oh, you're in the cone.
And people had gone through this previously with, oh, you're in the cone, get out, and then people got out, nothing happened, and now they didn't get out because they didn't trust the media, because they're always so hypey, and now people are dead.
And the media, maybe that's part of it.
They don't want to really deal with the fact that they didn't help much with their phony baloney charts, which people took for fact.
That could be guilty as charged.
Yeah.
Okay, let's play looting in Florida.
It's an interesting clip.
The sheriff of Martin County, Florida, William Snyder, says he doesn't expect the looting to calm down.
He told local media, TC Palm, that looters started stealing and ransacking structures shortly after Hurricane Ian made landfall last week.
He said, it was very early and some of the looting was starting already, but it will get progressively worse, I think, as people become more desperate.
Last week, Sheriff Snyder and a team were sent to help in the aftermath.
They received reports of people stealing gas-powered generators.
Another report said a house was burning after the owner put a generator in the garage so it wouldn't be stolen.
Sheriff Snyder noted how fragile society is when electricity and water go.
Meanwhile, other Florida officials, including Governor Ron DeSantis, are warning would-be looters not to target hurricane victims because they might not make it out alive.
During a press conference last week, DeSantis noted that many Florida residents have firearms.
I can tell you, in the state of Florida, you never know what may be lurking behind somebody's home.
And I would not want to chance that if I were you, given that we're a Second Amendment state.
DeSantis also noted seeing a sign directed at would-be looters displayed at a business that said, you loot, we shoot.
Racist Floridians!
You loot, we shoot.
Now, that brings me to this other clip which I just wanted to discuss for a second, which is the Florida Castle Doctrines.
The 13th second is part of this longer report, but I never heard this term before and maybe you have, but play this clip.
Florida has so-called Stand Your Ground and Castle Doctrine laws on its books.
They allow people who feel a reasonable threat of death or bodily injury, or who confront home invaders, to respond with force rather than retreat.
Of course, I've heard her stand your ground.
You heard the castle doctrine.
In other words, your home's your castle.
Yeah.
So if somebody breaks into your home, you can shoot them without having to worry about getting brought up on charges, which would happen in California.
If somebody breaks into your house and you shoot them, you'd be probably charged with a crime.
Yeah, and so you have the Stand Your Ground Law, but in Florida it's the Castle Doctrine, so you don't... No, they have both.
They have both.
Stand Your Ground is outside, Castle's inside the house.
Right.
The Castle Doctrine is pretty much the same, except you also get to tell your wench what to do.
I think it's the bonus of living in Florida.
That's exactly right, especially in Florida where everyone's a wench.
Meanwhile, I looked high and low and I found a story!
Yes!
Yes, yes, yes!
Maryland firefighter uses his ham radio to send rescuers to Florida's Sanibel Island.
There was one ham rescue story!
Now here we have ham radio, guys.
Ham radio is the public service network of Last Resort.
When the apocalypse comes, we're the guys who are gonna save the world, right?
Yeah, not so.
So disappointed.
There's so little.
Maybe I'm just not reading it, but even in the ham, like from the ham bloggers, it's just not a lot.
Kind of sad.
Yeah, well.
If it happens to us, we're ready.
I just want to say one more thing about- Series of repeaters and maybe get to Florida.
One more thing about, do I have anything else on climate change?
We got all that.
I do want to just say one thing about Europe and its state right now, which is related to the climate change, which is, you know, which of course is, everything's expensive because of Putin's Unprovoked war.
Let's get it straight.
So I talked to Christina a couple days ago.
You know, check in with the kids.
How's everything going?
So the official inflation numbers of the Netherlands were published.
17.1 percent.
17 percent?
17.1 percent inflation.
Official inflation number.
Seems high.
Yeah.
17%.
17.1% inflation, official inflation number.
Seems high.
Yeah.
And she says, dad, bakeries are closing, family businesses that have been in business for hundreds of years.
They literally cannot afford the energy.
And she says, now people are stealing.
They're stealing everywhere in the store.
Not looting, but they just go and just steal.
Shoplifting, they're just stealing, stealing, stealing.
Yeah, that'll close the store down after a while.
Yeah, but the Netherlands, it's all You know, grocery store chains.
If you shut one down, you can't just shut one down.
This is an interesting time to be alive.
I never expected to see this.
This.
I don't know.
It kind of was similar.
The 70s had a similar situation going on.
Yeah, I didn't really witness it that way.
You know, I mean, again, I was in the Netherlands, so we got the car-free sundae and thought it was weird, but, you know, we didn't really... I was young, I know.
You know, like eight or nine.
As long as I can, you know, find my porn mag.
Who cares?
Wait, that was maybe eleven.
Um, anyway, so there are solutions for this.
Uh, the solutions is, uh, you know, since we have no more fertilizer and we just have to move to, we gotta, we gotta move to a new system with our food.
I saw you had food clips.
What do you have on food clips?
Look like food clips.
I thought you had, I thought I saw something at food.
Didn't you have something here?
Food waste.
Yeah.
Food waste.
Oh yeah.
This is a two parter.
Yeah.
And this was actually pretty much, uh, this is not necessarily the kind of food clip you're looking for, but it's a two part that's interesting because it, uh, it is, uh, it was, I put it together for my daughter who was at the house, uh, and she decided to clean out the pantry.
Sounds like a journalist was trying to send a message.
And she just, she threw away food.
Food!
And here's the deal with that.
These clips will explain it.
Manufacturers have used best-by or best-before labels for decades to estimate peak freshness.
But unlike used-by labels for perishable foods like meat and dairy, best-before labels have nothing to do with safety.
And the confusion may encourage American consumers to throw away food that's perfectly fine to eat.
There's so many different things that are out there.
Most people believe that if it says sell buy, best buy or expiration, you can't eat any of them.
Well, that's not actually accurate.
Ha!
This is the biggest scam!
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, it's a total scam because they put these on, especially on canned goods.
Unless the can is bursting at the seams... Yeah, you're pretty good to go.
If it's bulging... You're pretty good to go.
If it's bursting at the seams, yeah, throw the can away because there's something going on.
But generally speaking, something once it's canned is good for... 15, 20 years?
It could be good for decades.
Yeah.
Decades.
That's what we have in the shelter here.
Decades.
And, you know, frozen foods, you know, they don't, luckily they can't, well, they do with that, if you buy it pre-frozen, you'll find that you have these stupid dates on there too, and that's not necessarily accurate.
But fresh food, frozen?
Months.
Months and months.
Years.
Yeah, years.
Yeah, I agree.
If you vacuum seal a steak today and throw it in the freezer.
If you vacuum seal it, it's going to be good for probably a month in the refrigerator, even though you don't want to overdo that idea.
But you throw it in the freezer, vacuum sealed, and you pull it out two years from now, it'll be fine.
Yeah, we just picked up another quarter cow yesterday at K&C in Austin at Slim's place.
Oh my God.
Well, a lot of it comes in the form of those giant Flintstone ribeyes.
I just love, I can't get enough of those.
Those things are great.
With the big bone on it.
You can club your wench with them.
There's a cut tomahawk steak and those guys cut them thick so that's really asking to be barbecued and then sliced and served.
Alright, part two of this scam.
The fundamental problem is that people are misinterpreting the labels on food and they're prematurely throwing the food away because of that.
And that's leading to quite a bit of food going to waste around the whole country.
ReFed estimates that 7% of U.S.
food waste is due to consumer confusion over Best Before labels.
That's 4 million tons of food waste annually.
One of the things we'd really like to see is a system that moves towards a standardized phrase so that if the brand wants to tell you about quality, they say the words Best By on the label, and if they want to tell you about safety, well then they say Use By.
According to Refed, as much as 35% of food goes uneaten in the U.S.
That adds up to a lot of wasted time and resources, including the water, land, and labor that goes into the food production.
You know, the FDA just announced new labeling yesterday.
New rules for nutrition labels on food.
Yeah.
Ready?
Under the proposal, manufacturers can label their products healthy.
If they contain a meaningful amount of food from at least one of the food groups or subgroups, such as fruit, vegetable or dairy, recommended by the dietary guidelines.
I mean, so it just comes down to milligrams of sodium, milligrams of sugar, and then they can use... Okay, here it is.
A cereal would need to contain three quarters of an ounce of whole grains and no more than one gram of saturated fat, 230 milligrams of sodium, and two and a half grams of added sugars per serving for a food manufacturer to use the word healthy on the label.
Can you imagine?
Healthy!
That's Cap'n Crunch, what they're just describing there.
Yeah, Captain Crunch, healthy.
And Gummy Bears, healthy.
Yeah, Gummy Bears probably could be described as healthy, especially if they're the sour type.
These are not guidelines.
This is genocide.
This is bullcrap.
This is genocide.
It's marketing gambits.
Okay, so now I gotta play these clips for you.
This is Don Lehman who's, he's a PhD, where is he from?
He's a real dude.
Professor in Food Science and Human Nutrition at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.
And he's being interviewed by this guy, Atiyah.
And he's going to give us a little bit of a lowdown on the fake meat that obviously we're going to have to start eating.
Not because it will be our preference, but because it will be labeled nutritious.
It will taste great.
It will feel right.
And it'll be much cheaper, eventually.
That's the irony, it won't be right away.
No, not correct.
And if it ever is, it may never be cheaper.
Well, it'll be more accessible.
You're just not going to have the beef, they're getting rid of cow.
And actually, now that I think about it, I'll play these clips and we'll talk about that.
So here he is describing what the process is, it is a processed food, of the impossible meat, fake meat ingredients.
Let's take Beyond Burger.
Basically it's a pea protein that's produced in Canada.
It's shipped to China because we can't process it in the United States.
There's no processing for the most part.
They're beginning to develop it, but when it came out there was none.
Shipped to China.
China processes protein, ships us back to the U.S.
We know transportation is the number one cause of greenhouse gas in the world.
And so now we've shipped it all over the country, comes back to the US and they process it into something with like 25 ingredients, probably five or six of them are not FDA approved.
And so now you have... I wasn't aware of that.
They have multiple products.
They have multiple components and synthetics that have never really been studied.
And they're not FDA approved.
So they're basically relying on safety without ever proving it.
Will that ever come back to haunt them?
I don't know.
In the spirit of having natural foods, there's certainly not anything natural about them.
Anyway, I think that plant-based proteins have been around a long time.
I think trying to pretend that it's meat, calling soy drink milk or almond drink milk, I think those are travesties.
I think those are standards of identity.
Almond milk has, what, one gram of protein per eight ounces, where cow's milk has eight.
Calling that milk is pure deception.
Yeah, exactly.
You don't even think about it.
In fact, that's one of your gripes.
Yeah, it's one of my gripes.
About the nut sap.
It's not milk.
It's nut sap.
It's just nut sap.
It's nut sap.
It's nut sap.
Plain and simple.
You can call it drink all you want.
It's a slurry.
It's a slurry nut sap.
So, let's move on with the advertising issue.
I like this guy, by the way.
Are you familiar with him?
No, but I like him.
I can tell he's on the ball.
It's important to recognize that the animal commodities are all under the USDA supervision because they are animal commodities and they have checkoff boards.
So that means everything they say in advertising has to be screened.
Where the grain industry has big companies like Kellogg's and Pillsbury and Coke and Pepsi and they can literally go out and say anything they want.
And so you'll see a product out there that pretends to be an egg, and they'll claim that there's better than eggs, but egg can't come back and refute it.
So you've got two different playing fields.
One that's highly restricted and supervised, and the other which is fair game.
You know, First Amendment, I can say anything I want.
And that's so typical for our regulations when it comes to big organizations, you know, whether it's Big Tech or Big Pharma, now Big Ag.
It's incredible what they get away with.
Oh, we can just call it milk.
Call it... do whatever we want.
First Amendment.
And now he's going to explain why real pure animal protein beef is irreplaceable.
There's certainly a group of people who would argue that we should not be eating any animal protein whatsoever.
We shouldn't eat meat, we shouldn't eat eggs, we shouldn't eat dairy, etc.
A counter-argument to that would be it's awfully difficult without these animals to get adequate amino acids.
Especially if you stop thinking of it in terms of an RDA and start thinking of it in terms of essential amino acids.
I think of it as a biochemist and there's just no question that ruminant animals play a very important role in our food system and one we can't really replace.
We can't just idle millions of acres of grassland and pretend that we can grow avocados on them or broccoli.
Cattle basically spend a year of their life on basically nothing but grass.
Sheep and goats the same, but those are amazing contributions to our food system.
Just want to reiterate, we're talking about grasslands that are useless.
You can't do anything else on them except save some stupid protected frog like in the Netherlands.
Oh, no cows!
You've got to protect the frog.
What's the cow going to step on the frog?
You think the frog's that stupid?
But anyway, the point is that these grasslands, if these animals aren't there chewing away on this inedible product and managing to digest it somehow, This place, the grass grows up and catches on fire and then it goes to the forest and it burns down.
You get these horrible fires.
You need these animals.
I was in the Andes once with an area... With your Sherpas.
And I turned to my Sherpa and said...
No, but I didn't have a Sherpa, but I did have a bag of coca leaves.
Believe me.
Oh, I remember this story.
You were buzzing.
You were tripping.
I wasn't buzzing, because you don't get buzzed on coca leaves.
You get a stamina that nobody else has, and you can wander around at 12,000 to 14,000 feet altitude without even losing your wind.
But the point is that these areas had these goats and sheep who looked real scared that you were so active.
No, and they were trimming, they had this big grass and then they kept it trimmed.
It was like a putting green.
Oh yeah.
I mean, it's unbelievable what these animals can do with this crappy grass.
It's just astonishing.
It's like, wow, they keep it this trimmed.
Well, since you bring that up, there's something actually quite astonishing about the ruminant animals, what they do with the grass.
Something called upcycling.
It's like a minute and a half.
You want to hear it?
Same guy, same professor.
I love this guy.
Okay.
Cattle, ruminant animals, are a very important part of the food chain because of their stomach, which is full of bacteria.
One of the things to think about for essential amino acids is really the only place they come from in life is bacteria.
Nothing else can make them.
Our primary source of them in nature is the bacteria on roots of plants.
So the bacteria on the roots will take the nitrogen.
Why do we fertilize our gardens as nitrogen?
The bacteria will take that inorganic nitrogen and form organic amines with it.
And those organic amines then can be made into proteins in the plants.
But as I said earlier, the problem with plants is that they don't have the same balance as we need.
They have the plants to make roots and flowers and things like that.
The beauty of a ruminant is they can take that plant and they can digest it.
And the bacteria then will rebalance all of the amino acids.
They'll capture inorganic nitrogen and they make the essential amino acids that mammals need.
And they concentrate it for us.
For every 60 grams of protein an animal eat, they'll make 100 grams of essential amino acids balanced protein.
Wait a minute, say that again.
So for every 60 grams of plant-based proteins and nitrogen that they'll take in, they can upcycle that to 100 grams of amino acid balance protein.
So ruminants are called upcyclers.
So whether it's in dairy or meats or goats and sheep and deer, all of those ruminant animals upcycle.
By eating grasses, they produce great quality protein.
No other animal can do that.
There you go.
The more you know, they upcycle.
More comes out than you put in.
That's why cheese and milk and buttermilk and kefir and all these things that a vegan wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole are necessary.
And it occurred to me that with this It's all about profit because, hey, we've deconstructed the cow.
We get it now.
You need your B12, check.
You know, you need your amino acids, we got it here in the test tube.
And they've basically deconstructed the cow and all those little pieces that are good for us.
The food industry is saying, look, we got it all.
You don't need the cow.
We got it for you.
No, just put it together, make it taste good, and make it feel right.
Yeah, and you have to trust the fact that they have it all when they don't.
No, of course they don't.
But that's the thinking.
These people are insane.
They're insane.
Yes.
And profit-driven.
And they're not going to keep eating beef.
They're not going to stop.
Anyway.
Enjoy.
There are a few sincere vegans in that business, I am sure.
They have that kind of web-looking skin where it's got that cross-hatched look.
They're 30 years old and they look like the skin of an 80-year-old.
You've seen these people.
They're at the H-E-B.
Not at our H-E-B.
Not out here.
So, just to tag on with a bug clip from Mark Stein.
Mark Stein is now a big guy in the UK on GB News.
That thing has caught fire.
People are watching it.
They like it.
And it turns out that it is actually the UK who are funding the new studies on bugs.
We've been reporting for weeks on the strange priorities of the globalist class to make us give up meat and dairy products and switch to eating locusts and crickets instead.
Usually we attribute this to Klaus Schwab, the sinister Teutonic megalomaniac hiding in plain sight as a sinister Teutonic megalomaniac.
And so we usually do it in a Germanic accent.
You've eaten the bugs!
But maybe we should switch to doing it in an upper-class English accent.
I say, oh boy, you should eat the bugs!
Because it turns out it's the British government that is running the pilot program for the New Human Diet.
And you'll love this, they're trying it out on the Africans first.
It was the late Zimbabwean strongman, Robert Mugabe, who famously called Tony Blair, quote, the gay gangster leading the gay government of the Gay United Gay Kingdom and accused him of a plot to spread homosexuality throughout the Commonwealth.
There's not a lot of evidence of a UK campaign to spread homosexuality throughout the Commonwealth, although that might explain why tax rates have to stay at 45% the cost of all that gay outreach and the South Sandwich Islands and Lesotho, but instead it turns out we're spreading insects throughout the Commonwealth, starting with caterpillar soup for Zimbabwean schoolchildren.
In a healthier media climate, the news that the great white buanna is feeding caterpillars to African moppets would be the sort of thing they'd be tearing down statues over.
But all you hear are crickets.
Crickets being sautéed and served on a bed of cockroach paste.
He's got all these pictures of these little African children holding a bowl of bugs.
Oh man.
Hey kids!
This style is much more suited to the British audience than it is to us.
Oh, much more.
Much more.
Hey kids, try this soup.
And here's a great shot.
Uncle Bill is happy with you.
Yeah.
It's cute.
Cute?
Keep an eye on that guy.
Yeah.
So, uh, okay.
Where are we now?
I don't know.
I think we should do one more topic and then get out.
You want to do some COVID or do you want to, I mean, cause there's COVID news.
There's real COVID news.
Have a WTF clip if you want that, or you can go with, uh, some oil prices.
I guess I'm, uh, it's kind of interesting to silence.
See what's going on in England talking about, which since we just had a Brit on, let's do this.
Okay.
This is a, uh, the Brits, especially with the new girl in town, uh, what's her name?
Liz.
Liz.
Liz... Liz Truss.
Liz something.
Liz Truss.
Truss.
She's, uh... She almost got ousted!
There was a coup!
Almost.
She'll get ousted.
But right now, the Brits are becoming more Brits.
I mean, they're becoming what we always think they should, you know, what we think of them in their style and everything.
Yes, they stay calm and they cut you with their words in a very firm voice.
Well, they also want to get rid of the asylum seekers, period.
There's that.
So let's go with these two clips.
This is Brits in the asylum seeking.
Speaking at the Conservative Party conference on Tuesday, Home Secretary Swela Braverman said we need to tackle the migrants crossing the English Channel.
We've got to stop the boats crossing the Channel.
Fascists!
This has gone on for far too long.
We need to do more to get asylum seekers out of hotels currently costing the British taxpayer £5 million a day.
Braverman is proposing a new bill that will ban illegal migrants from claiming asylum.
The new immigration powers would go further than existing legislation and were designed to create a blanket ban on anyone who enters Britain illegally from claiming refuge.
Conservative party members have mixed views about the proposed ban.
Suella Breverman, you know, is right in what she says.
I mean, she's human, you know, she will understand what is right and what is not right.
But the person seeking to come here, because there are greener pastures here, you know, and there are economic migrants, there are everything migrant, so you need to check each case, you know, as it comes.
She said migrants need to make sure they are following the right channels.
One man said he doesn't think banning asylum claims for illegal migrants is a good idea.
He said asylum is a fundamental principle.
Deterring people from making applications is perhaps another thing.
The fact that they may enter illegally is not a particularly good reason for banning asylum.
Hey, what happened to the flights down to, where were they sending him?
They're still doing that, to Rwanda.
Rwanda?
Welcome to Britain!
On to Rwanda!
So that didn't, it turns out that that idea wasn't working.
They were still flocking over there.
Now, I get a kick out of, I'll take the British side on this, I get a kick out of the idea that, oh, you know, it's a human right to seek asylum and we should take him in and all the rest, but where are they coming from?
taking a boat to the British Islands are coming from Europe.
Why don't, what's wrong with Europe?
Europe's the one that's supposed to be taking them all in.
Were they kicking them out or telling them to, or putting them in boats?
What are they doing in Europe with these asylum seekers?
Why don't they give them asylum?
It's never answered in this entire report.
Well, I mean, it's obvious.
They're saying no room for you here.
Here's a boat.
This is happening everywhere.
Yeah, here's a boat.
Bye!
So, but they do it in a different way.
They don't just come out and say no.
So here we go with part two.
Another man said illegal immigration hasn't gotten any better in years.
Everything that's happened in the last 30 years has been really ignoring this problem and it hasn't gone away.
In fact, it's got worse, hasn't it?
The government has been under pressure to deal with the rising number of people making dangerous journeys across the English Channel.
Numbers have been increasing despite plans to deport those arriving illegally to Rwanda.
More than 33,000 people have made the crossing in small boats so far this year.
That surpasses last year's record.
Government officials have warned the total could reach 60,000 by the end of the year.
Yeah, it's a mess everywhere.
By the way, Angela Merkel just received an award.
The Nansen Prize from the United Nations for Germany's open-door policy to refugees.
Yay!
Congrats, Angela!
She's being celebrated for the great work she's done.
What was the great work being passive?
The Nansen Prize awarded annual is created in 1954 in honor of the first UN High Commissioner for Refugees.
The explorer Norwegian Arctic and humanitarian Fridtjof Nansen to reward outstanding achievements in humanitarianism.
Could have been anything.
Didn't she get that award I think you pointed out in a series of clips about this?
Yeah, the Kalergi Prize.
Oh yeah.
Yeah, the Kalergi will not be replaced.
That was a while back, but I don't know, I haven't heard much about the Kalergi Prize these days.
They don't like to talk about it.
Funny enough, they don't like to talk about it.
But do you recall... They should have still given out.
Do you recall the Dutch to deal with their illegal refugee asylum seeker migrants?
What they did in one town?
They got the cruise ship from Norway.
So they brought the cruise ship in.
So it's a proper cruise ship.
And it looks really nice.
And they parked it off, you know, you can park it anywhere.
They parked it right off the city and anyone can come and go.
And so the migrants, I mean, they're making like commercials on TikTok.
Look at this place.
Look at the bedrooms.
Look at our cabins.
Look at the food we're getting three times a day.
And all the comments are, hey, how do I get there?
I need to come to Holland.
This is great.
The Dutch are going, I can't feed my family.
They're on a cruise ship with three meals a day.
You're getting fed?
Yes!
By the government?
They can come and go as they please, they do not, they can't work because they have no papers.
The government feeds them, the government pays them.
Who needs to work if you're in a nice cabin and you're getting fed?
Exactly!
Well, you know, the problem is, of course, you do need work because when you're just getting fed, you have a nice cabin, you don't have to work, that's when bad shit starts, sorry, that's when bad things happen.
That's number two, by the way.
It's called Point and Call, I've learned.
And we're very good at it.
We're one of the best.
But we have to restart.
We have to reset every show.
Anyway, so you can understand that this is a problem.
And guess what?
Mayor Adams in New York has just closed a deal for a Norwegian cruise ship.
Off of New York City.
It's working so well in Holland.
Everyone's so happy with it.
Wow.
Yeah.
Probably the same company, even.
I should have to take a look.
So are these ships are going to be taken out of commission anyway?
No, I just don't... They went between... I think they mainly went between Norway and maybe Finland?
Uh, Norwegian Cruise Line.
Let me see.
Yeah, I think that's the same one.
I mean, it's clearly a business deal for the cruise line.
Because they're getting a lot of money.
And there's no end to it.
There's no proposed end.
But at least they're not in the hotels, which are full now.
This is crazy.
It's crazy.
It is.
It's a great time to be a podcaster, that's for sure.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage saying the morning to you, the man who put the C's in Sourcysource.
Ladies and gentlemen, please say hello to my friend on the other end.
Here he is, Mr. John C. Dvorak.
Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry.
Also in the morning to all ships at sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
It kind of doesn't work when I give you the big lead-in and there's no, like, horrible crashing sounds?
There's a sleeping dog in the room.
Oh, okay.
Well then, we'll cut it out and I'll say, and here he is, John C. DeBoer.
If I took the normal thing and tossed it into the giant empty can pile, the dog would be up and howling.
Fair enough, fair enough.
Not happening.
I gotcha, I gotcha.
Well, in the morning to the trolls in the troll room, hanging out there at trollroom.io, who have been active today, giving John a lot of karmas in the troll room.
They're all loving on you today.
Let's see how many we have of these trolls.
Okay, trolls.
Here we go.
Let's see.
Do we have a number?
1951.
Seems to be kind of static.
We're not really... That's about 300 down from a good day.
A good Thursday.
But for the Thursdays recently, yeah, 1900's about right.
We'll take it.
We'll take anything we can get.
We appreciate it.
And of course, this is just one way that you can communicate with the community.
We also have quite a nice community at noagendasocial.com, which we only have 10,000 slots, as it were, that we allow on our instance.
Now, of course, you can subscribe and follow anyone you want from any Mastodon server.
But the whole point is to decentralize because, you know, when things break, have you ever heard 10,000 people mad because they can't access a website that you might have some influence over?
It's not fun.
It really isn't.
So sign up at noagendasocial.com.
We still have slots open.
Or follow John C. Dvorak at noagendasocial.com or Adam at noagendasocial.com.
We appreciate everything people post there and the interactions.
Of course, a lot of the artists are there who will banter back and forth even during the show and upload their work to noagendaartgenerator.com where we, right after the show, select something that works with whatever we felt, whatever the title is, whatever strikes us.
And we like to give some feedback to all of the artists who diligently do that, and you can always check it in real time by going to noagendaartgenerator.com.
Parker Pauly gave us the artwork for 1491.
We titled that Nyet Blufsky, which in hindsight was not a bad title, actually.
There was a lot of Putin's not bluffing in the news, so it was kind of timely.
This was the best piece we found.
We didn't find the offering that enormous, and I had some issues with this particular piece, but we did like it.
It's basically the standard podcast microphone, you see, and there's my issue.
Well, I'm the one who pushed it.
Yes, you did.
So explain why we chose it, why you forced it on us.
Because all the rest of the art was mediocre.
There you go.
To be honest about it.
I think it's because there was nothing really triggering in the show.
In other words, these artists that do this art tend to be triggered.
They hear something and the next thing you know the art appears in their brain and then they have to do it immediately.
Get it out of there.
Right.
I guess the show was boring, maybe?
I don't know.
I don't think so.
I don't think it was boring.
I thought it was a good show.
I liked the October Surprise from Corrector Record, even though some of the words were a little small, but it was the package, you know, like, what could it be?
Hello is from the... I liked that one.
And you just nixed it.
You're like, it's no good.
No, that's not true.
Show me which one.
Where is that one?
It's up two rows from the winner and over to the right.
No agenda.
It has happy October surprise.
What could it be?
And there's a big box with a bow on it.
Oh, that one, yeah.
No, you couldn't read any of it.
That's your main complaint.
I didn't even... It had its moment.
I didn't think it was... It didn't have its moment.
It got nowhere.
It stayed right where it is.
It's still where it was, yeah.
I got an email this morning from someone telling me after 15 years, 26th of October, that's our big anniversary, saying, you know, you should stop doing the review of the art, no one cares, no one listens, it's hurting the show!
And I said, I think you're wrong.
And also, you know, the stats that I can see prove otherwise.
There's actually a little spike.
It's probably all the artists, but there's a little spike in listening.
They go straight to that point.
Let me see, about a minute twenty into the show, let's see what these horse asses say about my artwork.
We really do appreciate everything the artists do, and of course if you're... It's ruining the show.
Everything, every element of the show is somehow ruining the show.
And that's why it's so great.
It's all ruinous, but together it works.
Ditch that legacy app, get a modern podcast app at newpodcastapps.com.
You can see all of these, we got chapters, we got transcripts, we got all kinds of fun, fantastic new things.
And as the- By the way, I want to mention something in the upcoming, or somebody did mention, did a 1492 on a ship.
And when I, after I'd already done the newsletter and I'd done everything and then I saw 1492, we could have done something with Columbus.
Because in 1492 he sailed the ocean blue.
Yes, and fell off the edge.
Yeah, and I thought it might be an interesting donation.
Did you forget or did you just not like it?
Yeah, not what?
I mean, so did you not, were you not aware?
No, and everything was done and shipped by the time it dawned on me.
Because I only, I didn't get to see the newsletter, my fault, but then of course I realized when I'm doing the show prep, oh 1492, oh crap, that would have been great for a donation.
But I figured you didn't do it because, you know, Columbus was a racist, so I figured you were.
No, he's a slaver.
A slave guy, yeah.
And he's a misogynist.
How come you didn't have any women on board?
Right, exactly.
I'm a horrible, horrible man.
All right, let's thank some of the producers, executive and associate executive producers, for the episode.
In fact, we're going to thank all of the executive and associate executives for episode 1492.
And not that many, but long notes.
Holy crap.
Let's see, we start off with David Crawford in Scottsdale, Arizona.
And David sends $1,000.
Okay, hold on a second.
Now, does he have a note here?
Do we have a note from David Crawford?
I looked and looked and looked.
So we don't have a note.
I used his name as a search tool and I couldn't find an email.
I mean, maybe there's something, but it looked under donations, didn't see that.
I don't know, he'll send us a note eventually, because it's an instant.
Oh wait, here it is!
It's a very long note, of course.
Sir Anthony, Knight of the Coquille River Valley.
Make good.
What is this?
No, this can't be right.
It says David Crawford.
I donated $478.19 to bring myself to an even $2,000.
Humbly request a title change.
Is this the same guy?
That's interesting.
This can't be right.
That can't be him.
This must be Sir Anthony's note, and it just got stuck under there.
So we don't have anything.
There you go.
Yay, I could have figured that one out for y'all.
Alright, well I'll do the next one.
Well, uh, hold on, we gotta do, uh, Double Up Karma then, don't we?
That's what you get when you have no notes.
You've got... karma.
There you go.
Now here's the note of notes for a guy who donated $1,000.
And he's in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
He came in with $1,000.
James Nittel, I'm sure that's how it's pronounced.
It could be Niddle, but I think Nittel.
And he wants a de-douching.
You've been de-douched.
He's a Roguenite?
Mm-hmm.
And he wants a Reverend Isos of your choice.
Please knight me of your choice.
And he's giving us all the power.
We'll just knight him his name.
Uh...
And then he says, looking for creativity here, guys.
Good luck.
Thanks for all you do.
Do you have the right show?
Oh wait, he wants us to give him a creative knight name.
Oh, okay.
How about Sir James Niddle?
How about the Spartanburg Dynamo?
Okay, that'll do it.
Sir James Niddle, the Spartanburg Dynamo.
Alright, let me put that in here.
Sir James Niddle, the Spartanburg Dynamo.
Okay.
And I guess David Crawford will just hold him in abeyance since we don't know... Yeah, he'll give us some information shortly.
So now we need some reverend... I guess he means Al, not the Pastor Manning.
You wouldn't think so.
I think it was Matthews that they want to put an Aztec next to his name like they have done.
An Aztec.
So I got you an Aztec.
That's all I could do.
I got you nasty.
I got you nasty.
Aaron Bratton, thank you very much, James.
See you at the round table.
$1,000.
Little Rock, Arkansas.
Please deduce me.
You've been deduced.
I won't lie and promise to keep this short.
No, you didn't.
You lied.
However, I need no jingles nor karma.
Okay.
Thank you for what you've done these past few years.
Helped keep me sane.
As a dentist with a wife who worked in a hospital, we had been in the thick of the Branch Davidian... Branch Covidian mindset.
Barely kept my wife from getting the jab.
Good man.
Had staff in my own clinic tried to undermine, sabotage me as going loony for my paranoid tinfoil conspiracy ranting to the point of trying to get other staff to quit.
Fast forward.
I've been podcasting since the beginning of the pandemic and joined you both in the narrative deconstruction around the same time of the racism is deadlier than COVID time frame.
You remember that?
The tidbits you and the producers would drop help set me upon breadcrumb trails to dive to the depths of the truth behind more than a few instances from masks, ivermectin, the jab, and even Fauci being in the know about the whole shebang.
As such, I've been kicked off most MSSM, mainstream social media, except Instagram, which I deleted anyway as a waste of time.
I've only got my podcast up on Rumble at this time, but I'm But I'm looking at my deplatforming as a new horizon as I'm looking at how to get into the 2.0 universe and hopefully join the No Agenda lineup.
No problem.
There's plenty of people who want to help you on No Agenda Social.
To wrap things up, I shall lay claim to the title, Sir Meister Chit Chat of the Harmony Homestead, and I'd like fresh unpasteurized eggs and muscadine mead at the round table.
And we have ordered that for you.
Muscadine mead would be...
Muscadine grape honey from the blossoms of the plant, if I'm not mistaken.
Okay.
I mean, I just put in orders.
I don't sample it.
I'm not in charge of it.
I mean, if he just wants Muscadine wine, that's different.
But he's getting exactly what he ordered.
Thank you, brother.
Hey, citizen in St.
Teresa, California.
46666.
Hey, citizen reporting in with Treasure.
This should take me to the long overdue knighthood.
Please knight me, sir.
Hey, citizen.
All right.
There's a lot of knighthoods coming in today.
This is good.
I'm liking it.
Sir Dave Fugazotto, who does not know him.
He's our Duke.
Grand Duke?
No.
And he recognized the number.
He did, and he's from Gladstone, Missouri, but of course he is from... Is he not the Duke of America's Heartland?
The Arabian Peninsula and America's Heartland?
Not listed on the spreadsheet, but luckily we remember.
Gents, celebrating show 1492.
With 14... 41492.
1492. With 1491. 41492.
Yes, 41492.
Celebrating 1492, the upcoming Columbus Day in the entire month of October for Italian pride.
Like old Columbo, you fellas chart a course to new lands of media deconstruction, rationality, critical thinking, and humor.
And you have excellent personal hygiene.
We all win.
Please give a shout-out to my dear old dad, whose birthday is on the 14th of October.
Early, I know he says.
And a heaping help of yak karma for my parents' upcoming move to a retirement community to enjoy their golden years.
Aww.
Aww, that's so nice.
Happy birthday, Daddy Fugazotto.
You've got... Harma.
He's on the list.
Next is Baron Jimbabwe of Shotsiland and Baroness Marianne Schneeberger.
It's 333.34 in Cary, North Carolina.
Thank you for your sanity, Baron Jebabwe of Shetsiland and Baroness Marianne Schneeberger, the amazing Indian that keeps the family running!
Very nice.
Short and sweet.
333.33 comes from Colorado Springs.
John Fuller.
In the morning, thank you for your courage and insights.
Also the laughs.
Please play some Al Sharpton.
Can't get enough.
Alright, let's see what we can do.
Got another Sharpton.
I'm looking for a... Here's one.
Probably haven't played that in a while.
Where are we?
Sharpton and a birthday biscuit.
Oh, it's my big day!
They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
You're on the list.
About that, be committed.
So there's no real conflict!
Who is he?
Greatest hits.
Michael Druliski.
Druniac.
Including Lincoln himself, Daniel Days-Lewis.
We're behind Monica Lewinsky.
The one and only Trey Songz is here.
Allison Lundergan Grimes.
Gina Dejasus.
When Gina Dejasus.
Tea Party challenger Matt Biven.
People don't want to have their social security overall.
The Republican savior, Mark Rubio's big night in evolution and Galileo.
I mean, this whole thing of Galileo.
America's changed, or changed.
Unless our IT and skillets, President Putin doing something similar back in, it won't change this fundamental fact about Alright, there it is.
Hadn't heard that one in a while, actually.
I don't remember it, actually.
Jam.
The third military says, my friend for many years, I am your, I am your, I am your, I am your, I am your, I am your, I am your, I am your, I am your, I am your, I am your, I am your, I am your, I am your, I am your, I am your, I am your, I am your, I am your, I All right, there it is.
Hadn't heard that one in a while, actually.
I don't remember it, actually.
Some, uh, variations, actually.
Uh, actually, actually, actually, actually, Jason Kretschmann's next.
He's in Richmond, Indiana, 333.
And he has a note, and it's printed out, and you can hear it if you listen to me shake a piece of paper.
Uh, he writes, ITM gentlemen, I'm late for my annual donation due to unexpected passing of my mother.
As my thoughts clear, heart heals and time marches on.
I realize it's time to donate.
After tallying up my previous donations, to my surprise, the final number was 333.33.
Of course.
It only seems fitting that I donate that amount today.
Since we all agree words matter, I would like to share a recent string of them.
I found interesting while attending a high school graduation ceremony this spring, I heard each speaker say the following when referring to the plans which each graduate could possibly have.
Quote, go to college.
Or I'm sorry, go into college.
Sorry, let me read the whole quote.
Go into college, the trades or the military.
A couple of things caught my attention regarding these career options.
One, the order of importance.
It's going to be hard to work remotely as a member of the virtual class with no one to deliver your groceries or defend your liberty.
Freedom isn't free.
Two, the absence of podcasting.
Oh, no, is that not a career choice in 2022?
Can I get a goat karma for my family?
Shut up, it's science and a go podcasting jingle, please.
Thank you for your courage and keep up the great work doing the work.
Jason Kretschmann in Richmond, Indiana.
That was funny, Jason.
I like it.
Shut up already.
It's science.
Go podcasting!
You've got Karma.
Uh, Ashley Zyfma is in London, Ontario, Canada, 318.
And that is, of course, an executive producership.
I'd like to wish my smoking hot husband, Sir Brum, or Bram, of Upper Canada, a very happy third wedding anniversary.
Aw, October 6th, and they never had a fight!
Wishing you all the beers, blunts, and Boston Terriers for many more years to come.
Love your wife, AZ.
Love your wife, AZ.
Aw.
That's so sweet.
That's a woman you want to hold on to.
Keep her!
James Agee's up.
There used to be a famous writer named James Agee.
I wonder if there's a relationship.
222.22 and Umatilla.
Now this, I don't know if I'm pronouncing this right.
I can pronounce most Florida names correctly, but this one, I don't see much.
ITM, all the signs of a line this week indicating I should become an executive producer.
You're an associate executive producer.
Okay.
I survived in because it took a right turn before Tampa so I can celebrate my 68th trip around the sun.
You're on the list.
On October 6th, show day.
I've been a listener for over four years now, nobody hit me in the mouth as I lived in D.C.
at the time, and no one there would admit to listening.
Bastards.
I started listening because I had been an avid listener of John's work in PC Magazine years ago, nothing to do with Rogan.
I moved to Florida to dodge the plague and live a relatively mask-free life totally worth the occasional hurricane.
My amygdala seems to be processing more paranoia these days.
Wish it weren't so, but it's good to hear you guys say the quiet parts out loud anyways!
Keep up the good work.
May you never find an exit strategy.
Can I get a Yak Karma for my fellow Floridians that didn't fare as well as I did?
Of course you can.
Yak here.
You've got... Karma.
I have received a lot of requests for the address or the name of your Yak supplier, your Yak dealer.
Can you divulge that?
I get all the questions like, It's John's Yak!
My yak.
Let me look and see if I can find his sheet, which should be on the... I don't think I threw it out.
And you told me he was sold out.
Yeah, he's sold out, so you're not gonna get it.
But he... what he's been doing is referring to other yakkers in the community of yak growers.
It's a yak community.
I will.
If I can find it, I'll read it out after this segment here.
Alwin Biskens lives in Alkmaar in the Netherlands to 1492.
He gets it.
He knows the Columbus, what happened in 1492.
And he's our second associate executive producer.
He wants, hey citizen, you will obey, kiss my ring, little girl, yay.
Hey Adam and John, with this special Columbus donation to 1492, I honor your show and also the year 1492, the conquest of your paradise.
John, at the moment of mailing this, did you miss this special number?
That's what we just discussed.
We already explained, yes.
However, living in the Netherlands and observing the current status of the USA, I do wonder if you guys regard the USA as the paradise it is so often claimed to be.
Well, I never said it was paradise.
Well, who said what was paradise?
Well, this is what he's saying.
Do you guys regard the USA as the paradise it is so often claimed to be?
Well, I guess if you live in a crap hole, it looks like a paradise.
Don't you think?
I mean, the paradise, unless there's breadfruit growing on a nearby tree, and there's a bunch of topless Polynesian women, I don't know, it's a great place, it's not a, I don't know what a paradise is.
Topless Polynesian women?
Yeah.
Doing the hula.
I have the yak information, by the way.
Well, let me finish this up and then he'll hit me with the yak.
On a side note, we disagree with the premise of your question.
On a side note, I previously received your generous job karma and it made me keep my job, surviving a 50% layoff at the department within the company, so thank you bigly.
I have hereby reached knighthood status and humbly request to be knighted as Sir Just A Buzz, Paladin of West Friesland.
Bless you.
And the coastal dunes.
For the round table, I will order a mild Indian curry and a fine moorslothl, which is an imperial stout beer.
It's ordered.
We got it in this morning.
Moorslothl being my hometown brewery from Alkmaar, spreading their world fame fast.
Thank you for your courage, all the fun, endless effort you give.
Greetings to the Dutch NA tribe.
You know who you are.
Hey, citizen.
You will obey.
You may kiss my ring.
Yay!
You've got karma.
All right, yak info.
So delyaks is the name of this operation, and the sheet here is quite good.
It tells you all kinds of little tips about cooking yak.
By the way, never microwave yak.
This seems like a given.
But why specifically?
I mean, obviously you don't want to microwave yak.
He says the microwaves change the chemistry and the flavor and the smell of this wonderful delicate meat.
Have you tried this?
Did you figure this out yourself first hand?
No, it says right on here.
Oh, it says don't microwave your yak.
No, he's got a list of things you should do and do not do.
Roast, for example.
Yak roasts are exceptionally flavorful and extremely healthy to eat, but can take longer to cook than beef roasts to break down the toughness of the connective tissues.
We recommend cooking yak roasts with steam or water for one and a half times as long as you would beef.
We're learning a lot.
www.yakmeat.us Who would have known?
is the homepage and you can also give them a phone call.
He's got his thing here.
He wants you, you know, 970-249-1734.
And the name of the company is Dell Yaks.
Your quality value added source of yaks and yak products.
The largest golden yak herd in North America.
Huh?
Beautiful.
Thank you for turning on to the yak.
Turning us on to the yak.
Oh, that was our last donation.
Coincidentally, I think.
Yeah.
I want to thank these people for being the producers and associate executive and executive producers for Show 1492, when Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
Dan, these are forever credits.
All you have to do is accept, which is hereby done, granted.
You'll see them in the credits of the show, in the MP3 credits of the show.
It's everywhere in the feed.
So that's forever.
These credits are forever.
They will be cemented.
And you should probably display this as executive or associate executive producer of episode 1492 of the No Agenda Show.
You can add Best Podcast in the Universe if you want and put that on your LinkedIn, put it on your social media profile.

Slash N.A.
Thank you again for your time, talent, and treasure for producing episode 1492.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Order!
Order!
Shut up, slave!
Shut up, slave!
This is kind of interesting.
I'm just looking at this yak sheet.
So they want you, with roasts, you got to cook them longer.
One and one half times as long.
But with yak steaks, fillets, and burgers, you got to cook them faster.
And you have to be careful.
In fact, you should remove yak.
It's faster than beef.
And you should remove yak from the heat at rare so it will finish in medium rare.
Oh, because it continues to cook?
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Yak never has the bloody flavor associated with rare beef.
Yeah.
Do you prefer yak over cow?
Well, you know, what I'm having is, I mean, there's a number of things you can eat.
I think yak has its place.
I think cow has its place.
I think wagyu has its place.
They're all different.
Right.
It has its place.
I think if you have a terrific steer meat from Nebraska where they know how to finish it, and so it's just a delicious product, that's pretty hard to beat.
But you can't get that everywhere.
Right.
All right.
We need to talk about COVID because there's a lot of things coming out about the vaccine, about – excuse me – Adverse events.
Actually, I should play this first.
One America News.
Are they still on cable at all, or are they just online now?
I think they've been kicked off cable.
I have not seen them anywhere.
One America News cable.
Let me just see if they're on any cable stations.
Where to watch?
Okay, let me see.
I think that, okay, wait.
Canada, they're on a cable.
I don't think, I think they're off any cable in America.
Did that really happen?
I think they had to get them online only.
Wow.
Well, no wonder they're off the rails.
I mean, like completely.
Not that I'm... I think they were off the rails that got them off cable.
Well, no kidding.
Not that I'm going to disagree with the report.
But holy mackerel!
See, this doesn't... I don't think that could be on cable, do you?
the dangers of the experimental chemical injections the government is calling the COVID vaccine.
See, this doesn't...
I don't think that could be on cable, do you?
I mean, I just don't see that passing the muster at a certain point.
From heart attacks and strokes to paralysis, neuropathy, and explosive increase in cancer, autoimmune diseases, and even sudden death...
With young, healthy people in the prime of their lives simply falling down dead, the list of fatal side effects from these injections is truly stupefying.
Now, have you seen these Chinese videos?
No.
Are they recent?
Well, this is exactly like when COVID kicked off and we saw these people falling down on their face in China.
So now, it's the same montage.
You'll see it everywhere.
It's about eight videos.
It looks to me all Chinese in different situations, and it's all the same.
It's CCTV, so closed circuit.
It's a Ring doorbell video.
Yeah, Ring doorbell.
And so it's all these security cameras, and you'll see the same thing.
The person catches something out of their peripheral vision, like the right of their eye, and they'll keep turning towards it, and they'll start pointing towards the sky, and they'll spin around one or two times, and then they fall down on the ground convulsing and apparently dead.
What?
Yes!
Yes.
So this guy is giving this report over this video which I've seen many times now.
I haven't seen it at all.
It's weird.
It's coming.
You could look under COVID, people spinning down dying.
Spinning and dying, okay.
Well now, there are videos emerging of a terrifying new condition that's popping up all over the world.
What you're looking at now is footage from security cameras.
You might want to look on Bitchute, John, for that.
...shows people suffering from the effects of some mysterious attack on their bodies.
In every case, it follows the same pattern.
The affected person stops what they're doing and looks around as if they hear something slowly turning their head.
Then, they start flailing their arms and legs, kicking and thrashing like they're fending off some invisible attacker.
This is followed by collapsing on the ground in a convulsion, writhing and twisting in uncontrollable spasms.
The incidents of this bizarre and frightening new malady have come out of nowhere, and now it's being captured by CCTVs around the world.
Okay, so here's the thing.
No, it's eight videos.
I've seen them over and over again.
They're all Chinese.
One guy You know, spins around, falls down, and then he falls under the train that's going through the station.
I mean, it's like, wow, we went through, we saw this happen, and I don't know if these guys are part of some psy-op.
Of course, I mean, do you want me to just give you the spoiler?
No, no, I'm not going to give you the spoiler.
Listen to one more clip from this jermoke so you can hear what it is, because of course we know what's going on.
Nearly 70% of the world has submitted to the COVID injections.
That's 5.3 billion people whose bodies are now struggling to adapt and overcome the so-called vaccine's toxic effects.
And now we're seeing the results firsthand.
Peer-reviewed studies show a staggering 94% of COVID injection recipients have abnormal blood, blood that no longer functions normally.
This is a picture of what normal, unvaccinated blood looks like at 40 times magnification, and was taken by doctors in Italy studying the blood of patients injected with the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.
Now here, we have the same patient just one month after getting the Pfizer injection.
You can clearly see the blood has been drastically altered, with researchers saying the vast majority of patients they studied suffered severe blood cell deformation after taking the vaccine.
The researchers say metallic objects that resembled graphene oxide and other compounds, like you see here, were discovered... I can't even stand it.
It's 5G!
It's 5G!
So then 5G kicks in.
Oh, it's 5G now?
We're back to 5G?
Yes, because of the metallic graphene oxide-like stuff in the vaccine in your blood cells.
Then you get activated, you spin around, you die.
And you spin around and point, okay.
Yeah.
Did you see the video?
Did you find it?
No, I didn't even bother looking.
Don't worry, you'll see it.
Yeah, well, this is probably the kind of reporting that's not gonna... I was just surprised, like, what happened to... I mean, it's not that I'm gonna disagree, but the delivery and everything he's saying, like, come on, man.
Get off it.
Now, really good was Brian Kilmeade, who's the Fox guy.
I was on his radio show once, he interviewed me.
He's really vanilla.
He's what?
Vanilla.
You know him, Brian Kilmeade?
He's Vanilla.
Yeah, I can... Yes, I know his name.
Right, so he does the morning show.
I think I can visualize who it is, yeah.
Yeah, when you hear the voice, you'll recognize.
I think he's ex-military.
And so they have Kirby on.
And the reason they have Kirby on is because of the story about this Coast Guard rescue swimmer, I think Tucker Carlson had him on.
Oh, the one that was referenced earlier in the show.
Correct.
And he has to, you know, he has to leave the Coast Guard, the job he loves, because he refuses the heart dart vaccination.
And so, Kilmeade takes him on, they bring the guy on through Zoom, he's at home, and says, hey man, what's going on?
There's like 19,000 service members who will, who are gonna be fired, you know, even though they love your job, and what's going on with this?
This is crazy, stop it!
We all know that this vaccine does not address any of the variants we're currently experiencing.
So therefore this minimal positive to getting it now, which is why you guys don't even talk about it, to invest in our people and train them and then dismiss them for experimental vaccine is folly when you can't recruit.
Every one of your branches can't recruit their threshold, yet you're kicking out good men and women.
How do you explain that?
Well, look, Brian, first of all, the Navy did make their recruiting goals for enlisted personnel this year.
Yes, it's a tough recruiting environment.
We recognize that.
But it's also you have a requirement to be healthy to be able to serve.
And this is a valid military requirement.
You really think so?
And look, even if it doesn't prevent you from getting COVID, I'm double boosted.
I got it myself here just last week.
That's your decision.
It makes the symptoms a lot less severe.
It gets you back on duty.
So it's worth kicking out healthiest people in our country who are already sacrificing?
It's worth kicking them out?
Brian, Brian, we would rather not lose anybody, of course, to the vaccine.
We'd rather not lose anybody.
I just gotta stop here because he's saying such weird things.
First of all, he's at home recovering from COVID and he's double-vaxxed and double-boosted and he's actually arguing this is a good thing to have because it'll keep everybody safe.
Which is crazy.
Then he keeps saying, we don't want to lose anyone to the vaccine.
That's a weird phrasing.
Sacrificing?
It's worth kicking them out?
Brian, Brian, we would rather not lose anybody, of course, to the vaccine.
We'd rather not lose anybody from a retention perspective to have them leave the service earlier than they wanted or we wanted them to.
But it's a valid military requirement.
No, it isn't.
This is an experimental vaccine that just came off the shelf.
You know it's not valid and it's a risk to our national security.
Admiral, you are a military officer.
You can talk sense into this White House.
I was a military officer.
That's why I'm telling you that vaccines are common for you.
You can't even join the military without taking about a dozen or so vaccines to make sure that you're healthy so that you can contribute What?
No, it's something really funny about the fact that he's double vaxxed and he's home sick with the COVID.
And he was a military officer.
Yeah, he was an admiral.
But isn't he still admiral?
No, he's retired.
That way he can get the double pensions.
Ah, perfect.
He's triple dipping as far as I can tell.
And does Kilmeade ever bring up the fact that according to the military's own specs that you cannot make these emergency authorization vaccines mandatory?
No, no.
That was brought up by one of the... And they never bring that up?
Why isn't he not bringing that up?
Because he doesn't know.
Because he's working at Fox in the morning.
This is fluff.
This is a very... This is a fluff piece.
This is very adversarial for the morning show.
Yeah, they're not tough.
They're not tough.
Yeah, you want to show that this is proof that they are tough.
You're wrong.
This is proof right here.
No, not tough.
Not tough.
He's talking to a man in his sick bed and he's yelling at him.
Here's a fun thing to do.
Go to Google News, news.google.com and type in dies suddenly.
Oh, it's pages and pages.
Yeah, but it's like within hours.
Within hours.
Yeah, if you get the, it usually happens pretty quick.
Virtual artist, a visual artist dies of sudden heart attack in Paris, age 47.
Off-duty Newton, Newington police officer dies suddenly.
Heartbreak as remarkable mum of four dies suddenly at 34.
Much Loved Dad dies suddenly just days before his 40th birthday.
Tragedy is Dad, 46, who always looked to help others, dies suddenly in sleep.
I mean, this is all from today and yesterday.
Today.
Yeah.
Well, I got my COVID clips.
We got to go back and do an analysis of this.
Was 2017 where a lot of people also died suddenly in their sleep?
You can do date searches if you know how to do it on Google.
You'll find nothing.
But let's go with the... California's done... leading the way to stupidity.
California, the new law, COVID law, California number one.
It's now illegal in California for doctors to tell patients certain information about COVID-19.
No, it passed!
Anything contradictory to the consensus is banned.
We discussed this with a doctor and author of Courage to Face COVID-19.
This is what Dr. Drew was talking about.
Did he sign it?
It's law now?
Newsom signed it?
Newsom signed his political death warrant.
If he signed this into law, yes.
I agree.
And what happened, because what he's done, and the way it's going to be played, and if Newsom would come to his senses, he would realize this, what they've done in California, what they've done in California is make it illegal to get a second opinion from another doctor.
Which is kind of the core right you have as a patient is, hey man, I love you as a doctor, I'm just going to get a second opinion, okay?
Now it's illegal to get a second opinion if it varies from the official, whatever the official litany is.
Is it illegal to get one or illegal to get one?
No, you can ask for a second opinion, but the second opinion is going to be exactly the same as the first because it's illegal to have an opinion other than the official state-sponsored opinion.
Ah, got it.
Jawohl!
And what idiot would sign this on?
But meanwhile, he's going to bring a doctor on to talk about this.
I'm giving you the opportunity here to guess the doctor.
Uh, how about, uh, uh, Hotep up there in Dallas?
No, it's going to be your buddy.
Oh, not, is he?
Oh, not the, uh, what's the douchebag?
The, the, the fear monger?
No.
This is New Tang Dynasty.
Hi, buddy.
OK, play clip two.
You'll hear it.
Joining us now is Dr. Peter McCullough.
Oh, I didn't understand.
Yes, of course.
I mean, the king.
He's not my buddy.
He's the king.
He is the king of COVID.
Joining us now is Dr. Peter McCullough, an internist, cardiologist, epidemiologist and leading expert on COVID-19 treatment.
Yeah, I thought you meant Osterholm, so you confused me.
I got it.
This is the guy we want.
Great to have you on with us today, Dr. McCullough.
Thanks for having me.
Why is this California law targeting doctors who push so-called COVID misinformation so significant?
You know, AB2098, just signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom, it represents the largest threat we've ever seen against freedom of speech in the United States.
This basically puts a muzzle on doctors Who are trying to help patients with COVID-19.
It declares misinformation and I can tell you as a doctor that doesn't exist.
There's simply evolving scientific data, hundreds of thousands of scientific reports.
It's a novel coronavirus and there's always two or more interpretive points of view.
Doctors deal with scientific data.
There's no place for the medical board to claim information or misinformation.
So now, the law claims to crack down on misinformation such as questioning the effectiveness of masks and vaccines, with one sponsor of the bill basically saying this will help preserve public trust in the medical profession and protect patients.
In your view, are those measures effective and should medical professionals be allowed to question them?
Well, there's emerging sources of scientific data.
Let's take masks.
There have been 12 randomized trials in respiratory diseases.
Two in COVID-19.
They failed to show that public masking had a benefit.
Now recently, the CDC has just released its guidance saying even in health care facilities, masking isn't needed unless we're directly dealing with COVID.
This is so stupid.
That's great.
Yes, I would say.
It's beyond stupid.
And of course, California leads the way, and Newsom signing this thing is idiotic.
And it's really a law against a second opinion.
In other words, there's now official state edicts about your medical treatment.
He's not your doctor anymore.
No, he's the state's doctor.
So let's go at the end of this.
I think there's a third one.
And now, the law has just been signed by the governor.
Why now?
How prevalent is COVID in the U.S.
at present?
COVID's on the way down.
You know, we're finishing this after wave of the Omicron, the big Omicron spike in December, January.
Then we've had this after wave.
It's mutated to a very mild form.
The hospitals are essentially empty of severe cases.
There are deaths being recorded, mainly in patients who have coincident COVID positivity.
One remains positive for COVID for many months after the initial illness.
So if someone's hospitalized for another reason, still being counted as a COVID case.
But I can tell you clinically, I do have some patients in my practice.
It's easily treated at home with multi-drug approaches.
And there is essentially a negligible threat for hospitalization and death.
So this bill is oddly timed.
It's unconstitutional.
I think it's going to hurt COVID-19 care in California.
Doctors are going to naturally recoil and not take risks.
Speaking of the constitutionality of the bill, Californians for Good Governance opposed the law saying it contains unconstitutional restrictions on free speech.
What's your reaction to this?
You know, I think they're on the right track and leading, really internationally known child psychiatrist Mark McDonald and family physician Jeff Barkey just filed a lawsuit against California and AB 298 with the Liberty Justice Center.
So there's going to be a mountain of legal work to kill this before it gets going.
We'll see.
No, it'll get killed.
You think?
Yeah.
But in the courts.
He has to defend it, though.
So Newsom, who had the opportunity to not to veto the bill, and the excuse would be, I think this is a great idea and I think we have to be careful about about misinformation, but this is telling people that they can't get a second opinion.
That's what it really turns out to be.
That's what his deeper meaning is.
And so I have to veto it.
And no one could really condemn him for that.
But by signing the law like an idiot and then having it kicked out, it's a double hit on him.
First he signed a bad bill and then he's going to get it kicked out because this lawsuit will go through because it is an unconstitutional law.
So he screwed himself.
It's baffling.
It's baffling.
He screwed the pooch.
How could you think that that's a good idea?
It's baffling.
He must be dumb.
That's what it tells me.
The guy's dumb.
Well, he's, you know, he's so concentrated on running for president because he knows that this next go-round, because Biden isn't going to run no matter what he tells L. Sharpton.
One last clip here, which really blew me away.
Someone sent me a substack from the Brownstone Institute, which sounds big, but it's a guy, Jeffrey A. Tucker, who's the founder and president.
He's an economist, author.
He's written 10 books, including Liberty or Lockdown.
He's an Epoch Times guy.
Yeah, but he has a real website, Brownstone Institute.
He's got other important people on the board, scholars.
Oh, important people.
But in the substack, he deconstructs a minute and 16 seconds of video.
And he says, this is the moment when the lockdowns were approved and Trump was basically hoodwinked into approving it.
And I'll give you the scenario and then we can listen to the clip.
So it's Brooks, let me see, Burks, Deborah Burks, the Sturmbannfuhrer, Admiral Burks, and Fauci, they're both on stage, and it's question time during the press briefing.
And the question comes up about lockdowns.
And Trump is looking at the audience, or the audience is the news guys, and Deborah jumps in.
Now they had this prepared Uh, order or statement or whatever, I guess it was order from the NIH or the CDC, which according to the substack, Birx was supposed to present this because she was the one that ultimately would go to every single state in the union and tell the governors they had to shut down the state.
We know that to be true.
It's in her book and she's proud of it.
And she gets all flustered as she's trying to read this language to kind of cement this lockdown order.
Fauci jumps in and does it, has a tremendous tell that this is something, and I recall seeing this, but right at that moment when Fauci jumps up onto the, you know, goes to the lectern and starts reading this, and you'll hear it, Trump is like pointing at one of the journalists, you know, like doing one of those things he does.
Yeah, right, right.
And so that whole thing passes him by.
And then he doesn't even know it happened.
And it's a magical moment, and let's just listen to it now that you have that visual in your head.
The question about the sort of underlying public health strategy behind some of these guidelines, telling people to avoid restaurants and bars is a different thing than saying that bars and restaurants should shut down over the next 15 days.
So why was it seen as being imprudent or not necessary to take that additional step, offer that additional guidance?
I think we have to say, the data that has been coming out, and I'm sure you're all up to date on how long the virus lives on hard surfaces.
And that has been our concern over the last two weeks.
Bullshit.
No, I'm sorry.
Go ahead.
I just wanted to read.
There's an answer to this.
Go ahead, Tony.
He was my mentor, so I'm going to have to let him speak.
The small print here, it's really small print.
In states with evidence of community transmission, bars, restaurants, food courts, gyms, and other indoor and outdoor venues where groups of people congregate should be closed.
So, Mr. President, are you telling governors in those states, then, to close all their restaurants?
Well, we haven't said that yet.
We're recommending, but we're recommending things.
No, we haven't gone to that step yet.
That could happen, but we haven't gone there yet, please.
They literally just went to that step in front of his very eyes.
And Fauci's all jacked.
No, no, let's fight.
Very small print.
Very, very small print.
I think this guy nails it.
I think that's exactly when it took place.
That's a good, that's a good catch.
It's a great catch.
I think so too, it sounds like it to me.
And when you see the video in the show notes, nashownotes.com, you'll see Trump is completely distracted, he's not looking, and then those two... Yeah, he wasn't paying attention.
No, and then once Fauci delivers that really, really small print, he and Birx are like, like orgasmic, looking at each other.
We did it!
We did it!
We pulled it off!
We pulled it off!
Exactly.
I thought that was mind-blowing.
I remember that era.
That was the era where COVID could be on surfaces and everyone, oh, you gotta be careful.
You can't do that.
You can't touch anything.
Exactly.
Which turned out to be bull crap.
Okay, so here's a topic we need to address.
So after all that, it looks like Elon Musk really is going to buy Twitter.
The surprise move comes after months of tense legal drama between the world's richest man and Twitter.
He's now proceeding to buy the company at the original offer price from back in April, $54.20.
Experts say if Musk didn't move forward with the deal, he was likely heading to court against Twitter and with a losing hand.
But Musk now tweeting that buying Twitter is an accelerant to creating X, the Everything app.
And while that tweet is short on details, Musk has already said that he wants to fix spam and bot issues, take the company private, and dramatically loosen restrictions on what users can tweet.
He's also said he would reactivate former President Trump's Twitter account, so who knows what surprises could lie ahead.
Well, this was a fun twist in the story.
Well, I find it to be, I've never fully agreed with your thesis, but I found this to be out of the blue.
Yeah, for sure.
It's like all of a sudden we have this, you know, because I thought it was going to, you know, I thought the way it was going to go
was that he was going to use the leverage that he had to uh the bots and the bad you know there's a bunch of bullcrap the numbers are wrong because this is what most of these guys who like to buy companies do they find your numbers are wrong and they sue you and then you get to think for a lesser deal or for even free I've seen that happen and it turns out they were negotiating in the past two weeks about lowering the price according to sources
Well, according to that announcement right there, he's going to pay full ticket for what he... Yes!
That was the surprise.
Yeah, the whole thing is a surprise.
Well, so there's a couple of options.
Because I agree with you, this was unexpected.
So...
Probably Occam's razor is he signed a dumb deal because I think he kind of said I don't need to do due diligence even though he wants to believe that.
I'm gonna stop you there because that has to be correct.
He had to have signed a dumb deal.
Yeah.
And that really is a black mark on his reputation, if true.
I mean, we don't know that it's absolutely true, but it's the only explanation that makes sense.
He signed a dumb deal.
I think most of those documents have now been seen.
And that is true.
He signed a dumb deal and then as he tried to pull out and he... Now, he's done a very fine job of destroying Twitter so far because, you know, they're missing their numbers.
Advertisers are very wary.
They don't want any part of it.
It's a mess.
It's just a mess.
So it is definitely in decline.
And his lawyers went, well, you know, you can wind up paying probably 10 or 11 billion dollars in fines to them for not buying it, or you could get the money together and buy it at the original price.
So that is the Occam's razor version.
What he says he's going to do with it, I think, is even dumber than this deal that he signed.
Because he truly thinks that he can create a WeChat?
I mean, isn't this what Facebook tried?
Hasn't this been tried ad nauseum in the United States?
And without the authoritarian government making people use it as the only avenue?
I don't see how he can pull that off.
Do you know you can listen to podcasts on Twitter?
Do you know you can send people lightning payments on Twitter?
No, you don't know that.
No one knows that, because no one cares.
They just want to spew on Twitter.
They don't want to buy crap through Twitter.
So that's what he thinks he's going to do.
There's some other possibilities.
I would say it feels like just looking at the evidence we have and the text messages he was receiving and the people who were kind of, he was courting for this money that he will need more than he can raise.
Maybe someone came in and said, here it is.
You're good to go.
Let's just do this.
Now that could be a number of parties.
And I think that's an interesting thesis.
Somebody, yeah, someone said, well, now I think Bringing Trump back onto the platform is a big deal.
What if Trump comes back?
Oh, yes he will.
Yeah.
Of course he will.
He's looked out about it.
Look, Devin Nunes is the CEO of the Freedom SPAC.
You know, the Truth Social and all that.
So, he will blame... That thing's doomed now, by the way.
Yeah.
No, he will blame Devin Nunes.
Devin Nunes screwed it up and there's a lot of things wrong, as we know.
A lot of things going wrong with that organization.
So, he'll... This is what he does.
He will trash them.
He'll step away from it and he'll say, come on back to Twitter.
And it's, I mean, is this an October surprise?
He could be back on by this weekend, some say.
I think that would be really interesting.
And I think the amount of money that would be needed to put into the pot to basically get Trump back on Twitter, I think some people might think that's worth it.
I wonder if he's going to trash Nunes.
Nunes is a very important cog in Trump's machine, and I don't know that he would trash him, and I think that would be fun to watch.
If he does, that would be bad.
I mean, he trashes everybody.
I know he does.
He tends to trash people like that, but this would be noticeably bad.
He doesn't, he never, like he never, a lot of people that are super loyal, like, he never trashed Perry, his Department of Energy guy.
He never trashed the black guy who was the housing guy.
No, but he fired him.
Perry was fired?
Not that I know of.
Resigned.
He resigned.
Okay.
Well, they all resigned.
Nobody can take any of those jobs for more than a couple of years.
Exactly.
He never did anything with the black guy who was the HUD guy who was famous, the neurosurgeon.
His name deludes me.
Ben Carson?
Carson.
He's never done anything with him.
And there's a lot of guys that seem to be immune to his anger.
Yeah, but too social.
It's failed.
Just from the narrative perspective, I'm sure they have no reason to.
We can put money on this.
I'm saying, no, he's not going to trash.
He can trash somebody, but it won't be Nunes.
Well, let's not put money on that.
Let's put money on, is he coming back to Twitter?
I wouldn't take the bet.
Okay.
Well, then why did you say, I'll put money on it?
I'll put money on him trashing Nunes.
I'll take that bet.
Five.
Okay.
Five.
Five?
Yeah, five bucks.
Five bucks?
I thought you said five hundred.
Please!
What do you think I am?
I'm a podcaster.
What's your problem?
Five bucks.
Okay, five bucks I say.
It doesn't trash news.
See, this is why your friends don't talk to you anymore.
The, the, the, what do you call them again?
The Lib Joes.
The Lib Joes.
Because you keep taking big money from them.
You should do five bucks and then you can keep them going forever.
Anyway.
It'll be interesting to see what he does.
Again, I think it's the destruction of Twitter.
The only way he can realize his current dream, Elon Musk this is, is to have everyone get ready to show your driver's license to become a full-fledged member of Twitter.
He's not going to charge subscriptions for crap.
No, he's going to make everybody verify.
Everyone will be a blue check.
You know, he thinks he, I don't think so.
You know, we'll see.
I mean, he's, I don't think he has enough time in the day.
I mean, managing SpaceX is really his, I think, his top priority.
You give this guy a lot of credit.
You give him a lot of credit.
I don't give him any credit like that anymore, especially after reading those emails.
He doesn't know what he's talking about.
Those emails are dumb, but mostly the idiots were the guys that he's friends with, not him so much.
Right.
Anyway, this could be the government.
The government saying, hey, you know what?
I'll tell you this much.
The big October surprise would be making Jason Calacanis the CEO.
That would make my day.
That's what that would do.
It'd be great.
So one other theory.
Remember, Elon gets all his money from the government indirectly.
He starts his business with money from NASA.
He starts his business with huge subsidies and tax breaks on electric vehicles.
And you know, so maybe... He knows how to gouge the government.
Yeah, so maybe the government's like, hey man, we need this, we need... and I'm just gonna stick with my theory.
I think definitely, I think that what you're saying now is absolutely true.
That was, it was important in Iran.
It still is.
That's where they're gonna bring those satellites over there and beam down Twitter in Iran so they can get a revolution going and get rid of the guy.
Yep.
Get rid of the regime.
Yep.
And it was Hillary Clinton used Twitter.
All these revolutionary operations were using Twitter, all coming and stemming from the CIA.
I think there's a connection between the intelligence so much and Twitter that they can't get rid of it.
There's no substitute.
And just to make sure we remove or we have deballed any potential competition.
There's three main tenets to the deal.
The first attacks data and one of the big questions... I'm sorry, I should set this up.
This is the proposal of what to do with TikTok.
There's three main tenets to the deal.
The first attacks data and one of the big questions that lawmakers and others have had is the extent to which China, because TikTok is owned by a Chinese company, the extent to which China can access This woman's voice is like a hacksaw on glass.
the first thing essentially requires Oracle to take care of all of the data in the U S and kind of pardon it away from the rest of the company and away from China.
The second is the logarithm.
So when you go on Tik TOK, you're fed content.
You don't really know why you're being fed it, but it's being fed you.
And there's a lot of concern that that content could be manipulated potentially.
This woman's voice is like a hacksaw on glass.
Yeah.
She's on CNN.
Are you?
And there's a lot of concern that that content could be manipulated potentially to, you know, impact an election.
Like, you could see content that's in favor of a certain candidate.
So, Oracle would also be in charge of monitoring that content and the logarithms to see if it looks like there's something off and if they think that there is.
Report it to the U.S. government.
And then finally, corporate governance.
You know, what does how does actually TikTok work from a management perspective, from an ownership perspective?
And the initial plan is not to make ByteDance, the Chinese owner of TikTok, sell TikTok, but they're trying to carve it off.
So one of the things they're trying to do is create a board of directors of independent national security experts and they will feed any concerns that they have up to the US government and kind of keep tabs on the US business.
So they can't.
We need your data.
And please park it with Oracle, who has most of the CIA databases.
That's a strong partner.
Yeah, they're very connected.
Not only that, Oracle has huge business in building digital profiles from credit card data and, you know, the data broker, big data broker business.
You can't, you have to disclose your algorithms So we can see if you're doing anything nefarious, and we've got a whole panel of douchebags who are going to narc on you constantly.
They're dead!
No, they're not.
That's like Facebook.
How's that $400 stock doing?
Just kidding.
You wait, you wait.
I will bet you $500 right now that Facebook will never get back to $400.
Unless they do some... yeah, unless they... The bet's on.
I'll take it.
With the same float.
Can somebody record this, please?
With the same float.
You're not allowed to manipulate by changing the float.
With a split or reverse split.
That's bullcrap.
Dude, float is never the same.
There'll be some issuances.
There'll be some buybacks.
There's a million reasons that the float won't stay the same.
I said with a split.
With a split or reverse split.
Now you're adding a bunch of disclaimers.
Never mind.
You don't want to do the bet.
Oh, I'm done.
$5,000.
$5,000?
$5,000?
No, I'm going to tell you this.
Pussy!
$5,000.
No, I'm going to tell you this.
Pussy!
Pussy!
I'll do the $500, but the reason I won't do the $5,000 is because you can't afford it.
I'll never get paid.
Point made.
Point made.
You're afraid.
You're afraid.
I have no fear.
Yeah, well, your No Fear exhibited itself with all this float bowl crap.
No, no, I rescinded that immediately and took it straight to five grand.
Yeah, you did, hoping to blow me out.
Oh, so at least you can save some pride.
Okay, I've seen this before.
So the problem is you don't have five grand.
That's what you're saying.
I don't.
I don't make enough money, especially with these recent donations.
I'm gonna show my school by donating to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on No Agenda!
We do have a few people to thank for show 1492 when Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
Starting with Bruce Schwalm, who's a regular nowadays in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, $150.33.

This is in honor of the 13-2 record of sumo champion.
He's gotten double credits here.
Okay, well it happens.
I don't remember this one.
I do.
And it was 132?
The amount was 132?
And it was $132?
The amount was $132?
Yeah, because it was in honor of the 13-2 record of sumo champion Tamawashi.
All right.
Which we discussed.
That was the tournament.
I bitched about the tournament being boring.
So you're saying this is a carryover from the previous show?

You can use that for the newsletter.
It's negative.
All right.
Let's listen to John Kennedy's running for office.
It's a nice 30-second ad he's putting out.
It's called the Crackhead ad.
This is a classic.
Violent crime is surging in Louisiana.
Woke leaders blame the police.
I blame the criminals.
A mom should not have to look over her shoulder when she's pumping gas.
I voted against the early release of violent criminals, and I opposed defunding the police.
Look, if you hate cops just because they're cops, the next time you get in trouble, call a crackhead.
I'm John Kennedy, and I approve this message.
That's a good way to get attention.
Yeah, he got a lot of, uh, a lot of, yes, he got viral.
Well, since you're doing that, uh, let me play just a 36-second soundbite of Harry Styles.
Harry Styles, you know Harry Styles?
You like Harry Styles?
I mean, you know Harry Styles, right?
I know Harry Styles.
I don't particularly like him or don't like him.
No, but you know the music.
So Harry Styles is very popular.
Uh, Harry... He's either got a spitz on people?
No!
No, Harry Styles is the former boy band guy, and he sings, Watermelon Sugar, hi!
That guy.
He dresses up as a girl.
He's got, like, girl clothes on all the time.
No, you can't trigger me.
It's not happening.
So he did a residency in Austin.
A whole week of shows.
And this is perfect because Austin, I mean, the elites who live in Austin who can still afford to, they have season tickets to the Moody events.
It's called the Moody Theater.
I think they even, I don't know if this was in the Moody itself or a different venue, but it's all the same people.
They own all the concerts.
They produce everything in Austin.
So this was, oh my god, have you, have you seen Harry Styles?
Yeah, all the elites have gone, it's Harry Styles.
Normal people can't afford the tickets.
And so Harry's in Austin.
What does he do?
He, at a certain point, he gets his guitar.
Beto's in the audience.
His guitar is a big sticker, Beto for Texas.
And he just stands there, and I want you to hear the orgasms from the crowd of Austin.
Now, the reason I'm...
I stopped this...
Yeah?
I was going to say, it sounds like in that crowd, there's somebody screaming like she's being raped.
No, it's one of the libtards, like the girl in the supermarket.
Whenever they go crazy, like insane, I think this actually triggered TDS, Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Listen, you'll hear it, it's the same scream.
Oh, it's like that woman in the green.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Listen, listen.
It's her.
listen it's like It's frightening.
Yeah!
They get completely... They trigger and they give the same scream as when they have nothing left to say and they're being accused of something.
They just go crazy.
It's worse than the Wilhelm scream.
It's really incredible.
The Wilhelm scream.
Gotta give big props to the...
Actually, I won't give props.
The Daily Show ripped off a good idea, and then they put it together better than the original.
This was the mash-up that was going around of our Vice President Kamala Harris and Selena, who was played by the billionaire in Veep.
What's her name?
Julia Dreyfus.
Yeah, Julia Louis Dreyfus.
I think they own Cargill, don't they?
I don't know if it's Cargill, but they think they're big.
The Dreyfus family is big.
It's huge.
So they did this mash-up, and it was online first.
It was really, it was funny, but it wasn't good enough that I clipped it because it just wasn't all that great.
Then the Daily Show, they did a really good job, but they didn't come up with it.
But it's worth listening to this, this mash-up between fiction and real life.
My fellow Americans, words have many meanings, and sometimes instead of conveying our meaning, they can suggest other meanings.
When we talk about the children of the community, they are the children of the community.
Well, we are the United States of America because we are united.
And we are states.
I'm talking about the significance of the passage of time.
Right?
The significance of the passage of time.
So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time.
Whatever we have in store, It cannot be known.
The past was once the future.
The future is, I should say, unknown.
We gotta take this stuff seriously.
As seriously as you are because you have been forced to have to take it seriously.
Obesity is a serious disease and it needs to be taken seriously.
You need to get to go?
I need to be able to get where you need to go to do the work and get home.
I hope that clarifies the issue.
And this can be the last word on those words.
Certain issues are just settled.
Clearly, we're not.
No, that's right.
And that's why I do believe that we are living, sadly, in real unsettled times.
It's unbelievable.
It's a match.
Just vapid, vapidity, I guess would be a good word for it.
Just so vapid, this woman.
And for the Daily Show to do that, I was a bit surprised.
Yeah, that is kind of a... Well, they're trying to cut her off.
I mean, they... She wants to know that she should not be in office.
Yeah.
And shouldn't think about running.
Just muddy the waters.
I have no clip, and I'm really sad about it.
Have you been following the chess scandal?
The scandal from the chess world?
I know about it, but I haven't followed it with any, uh, the cheater.
I don't know how you cheat at chess unless you go, hey, look over there!
And then you move some pieces around.
That's the best part of the story, although I'm pretty sure it's not true.
So this relatively new player comes pretty much out of nowhere in a very short amount of time and starts winning everywhere.
I think he was initially playing online chess competitions.
I don't even know if that sounds like easy to cheat.
But then he was playing a grand champion.
And the grand champion within a couple moves says, this guy's cheating, I'm not going to be a part of this and walks out of the competition.
And the chess world is like really rocked by this.
And so the theory for at least a week and a half Was that this guy this player who came out of nowhere that that someone was you know, obviously observing the game Running scenarios on a chess computer and then wirelessly feeding back the moves to him The catch was how they claim this was being transferred back to him wirelessly care to guess
Well, I would think it'd be an earwig, one of those little listening devices, like you're hearing it.
It goes deep in the canal and you can receive radio transmissions.
No, it was wirelessly controlled anal beads.
So they would give them a zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Morse code in your butt.
That's cheating, you know.
Hey, if you go to that length, give him the title!
Give it to him.
I'm sure that's not true.
Well, the Grand Master would probably have played enough computers.
Yeah, that was his claim.
They can just see it's a computer move, it's not a person moving.
Yeah, you saw two moves and he says, computer move, he's cheating.
Yeah.
That's actually what's interesting about the story, is that the computer is so distinctive, it has its own style.
Because you can play different guys, and they all have styles.
So, you know, you're playing these other grandmasters, and that's his style, that's what he would do.
Right.
And then you play the computer, that's his style, that's what he would do, the computer.
It's like, that's interesting to me.
Well, you should go to a meeting and talk about it with them.
I didn't even follow the story that well.
I just thought that one moment there was interesting.
The chess world has been rocked.
Google, I got a clip.
Google sued for being Google.
No.
Oh, okay.
I'll listen to this.
Google has to pay $85 million for tracking location data deceptively.
It will settle a lawsuit brought by the Arizona Attorney General.
The AG alleges Google made billions of dollars in profit in what the office called one of the biggest consumer fraud lawsuits in Arizona history.
The AG's office adds it's the largest amount per capita Google has paid in a consumer fraud and privacy lawsuit of this kind.
They began investigating Google in 2018.
They found some apps continued to track user location data even if the location history feature was off.
Google used other settings like web and app activity to track the data, and then they used that information to sell ads.
A Google spokesperson said the company now provides straightforward controls and auto-delete options for location data.
People are shocked by this?
Oh yeah.
Isn't that what they do?
We always knew Google was doing this?
Yeah.
So they're getting sued for being Google.
Yeah, but like they care.
Like everything else.
Okay, let's make a big deal.
Going soon.
Okay, let me get my checkbook out.
Yeah, exactly.
That's how it is.
It's that easy.
