Why do you listen to these guys?
Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak It's Thursday, October 13, 2022 This is your award-winning Kimbo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1494 This is no agenda Beaming out at the speed of science And broadcasting live from the heart of the town I'm John C. Dvorak.
Is he okay?
Barely.
Zoe Lofgren?
region number six in the morning everybody i'm adam curry and from northern silicon valley we're all watching zoe lofgren kick ass i'm john c devorak it's crackpot and buzzkill uh you okay barely zoe lofgren uh did you watch any of the hearings today oh it started already No, I didn't.
This is the last one.
No, this is the big finale.
But I thought it was going to be prime time.
Well, I was on.
Maybe it's prime time to somewhere.
Okay, so what happened?
What have we seen so far?
Oh, they've done a beautiful job.
I mean, the fact that there's no cross-examination, so you can't, like, debunk anything.
Yeah.
Or just ask a simple question.
So what we're talking about here is the January 6 trial, the final trial.
This is the one that's going to send Trump to jail.
Well, it's not going to send anyone.
I don't think it's going to send anyone to jail, but there's definitely got a lot of circumstantial evidence.
And it just, as you watch, especially if anyone wants to go back and watch just one person, watch Zoe Lofgren.
Okay, so what is she doing?
She's a congresswoman from the Bay Area.
She's a local.
And she just, I don't know who wrote the script for her, but she put together the most It just makes everybody look like a bunch of scumbags, and it's just fabulous.
It was full of it, I think.
But it really pointed out, and they just quoted a lot from Banyan, Steve Bannon's... This guy was like part of the problem.
And then Roger Stone... Oh, their fingerprints are everywhere.
Yeah, and Roger Stone and a couple other people.
And then they showed a picture of Trump with his doofus campaign manager who I've never seen or heard of.
Manafort?
No, no, no.
This is January 6th.
No, Manafort was... Long gone.
Manafort was in the first election.
Right.
That ended up being run by Kellyanne Conway.
Right.
This campaign was run by this tall dude.
The guy is like a foot taller than Trump.
Oh wait, is that the Brad Parscale?
Yeah, I think that might be his name.
The guy who went nuts and pulled a gun on his wife, I think, and the cops came and it was a whole drama.
It was alcoholic problems.
Remember he flipped out?
I vaguely remember that part of it.
The guy's tall.
Yeah, no, he's huge.
He's taller than I am.
Yeah, he's huge.
He did the Facebook campaign and then he became the, now I remember, then he became the campaign manager for the re-election.
Yeah, he also, you know, was yacking out of class about, oh yeah, we're going to do this, we're going to do that.
It's just unbelievable.
And so they had all these guys with their, just their, just a class, you know, all that was missing was Joe DeGenova.
He's the only guy that was missing.
I'm surprised they didn't sneak him in somewhere.
Because they had all these guys and Bannon was the worst.
There's all this, we're gonna do this, we're gonna do that, you know.
And it's just fabulous, I have to say.
It was well designed, well written, well presented.
She's very...
I never thought much of her, but she's very, I don't know, she does it in a good, plodding way.
She'd roll out all this stuff.
And it was very good.
It confirms our basic thesis.
Trump doesn't know how to hire people.
No wonder he's so good at firing people.
All these people that he's surrounded himself with are useless doofuses.
A lot of them, yeah.
So what I'm seeing now is, and of course I haven't seen the, is it Zoe or Zoe?
Is it Zoe Lawson?
They pronounce, locally they pronounce it Zoe.
Zoe, okay.
Zoe's usually with a Y. But the M5M in general is just throwing every headline out there they possibly can about Trump.
You know, he did this, and oh it looks like he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, It's all circumstantial evidence around Trump.
None of it's about Trump.
It's about this guy said this about Trump, but that got nothing on Trump.
It's really funny, but they got plenty on Banyan and they got plenty on this doofus and some other people that she did named all the names and brought all these clips out and they showed lots of clips of Roger Stone cockily saying, yeah, we're going to, no matter what happens, we're going to win.
And just, you know, all like, These guys blow hearts, blow hearts.
Yeah, yeah.
But I'm just saying, it's like there's a competition for the most viral headline.
I think they're just looking for something that the public latch onto and everyone goes, okay, that's beyond the pale.
What Trump did there, that's not okay.
And then they want to hang some circumstantial evidence on it.
Yeah, this huge article in the Atlantic.
It's like about... By the way, they brought in Tom Fitton, too.
Muscle-bound guy.
He supposedly wrote the acceptance speech like months earlier for... For Trump?
He wrote the acceptance speech that Trump was going to give.
And this is proof!
Oh, wow.
Oh wow, yeah.
It's definitely worth watching, especially, like I said, go to watch Lofgren's presentation.
Maybe do some clips on Sunday.
Yeah, it's kind of ponderous, so it's like hard to clip.
Yeah.
Well, never a boring moment.
We appreciate the Democrats for giving us some material.
Yeah.
Well, the only other material is my own newsletter, which got a lot of bad feedback.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Mostly because of two words.
And a phrase.
And also, I have to, so I wrote a newsletter bitching about the fact that over 100, maybe 200 people immediately unsubscribed and people were, as you saw from last week's donations, people just bailed out on On PayPal.
Yeah.
And so I wrote this newsletter and I used two words.
One of them I put in at the last minute, which I found interesting, and I got a lot of negative reaction to them.
One was cavalier and then misguided.
But the thing that really ticked people off, and I do want to read one note from one guy, because it brought up something I didn't even think about at the time and I didn't realize until I read this note.
And the one that really got people irked at me, to the point of writing me nasty notes, was calling them virtue signalers.
And by the way, when you sent me the draft, I said, you can expect blowback, but I always trust you with these things.
It would be odd for me all of a sudden to be jumping in telling you how to write the newsletter.
You probably could have called me out on the virtue signalers.
It turns out that unless you're a left-wing nut, you can't be a virtue signaler.
Well, rightly so.
If you listen to our show, you can't be a virtue signaler.
Now, I don't believe that's true.
I think people are virtue signaling constantly, no matter who they are.
But to be called one, I guess, is more than people can handle.
Yeah.
But I wrote back almost everybody.
I'm still writing notes back trying to smooth this shit over, John.
Well, no, I'm trying to explain what happened.
But also, I just want to say, like, you know, obviously we're very aware of the, I mean, we've been reporting on the situation, financial networks for years and years and years.
And there's, you know, we're always looking at alternatives and we have many alternatives available.
And that was the takeaway when I looked at the positive side of the newsletter.
It was like, hey, you know, it's like, we're not stupid, but just know that when you do this, you hurt the show because you literally turned off sustaining donations.
Yeah.
It was really, it was nasty.
And, uh, and I had mentioned to her that I've, we've never had any trouble with PayPal.
I have no complaints about them, but people said, well, you sold out.
Well, I don't know.
But listen to this.
This is from producer Andrew.
Thanks for the newsletter, as always.
By the way, this is a guy who knows how to write memos.
That's how you always do it.
That's right.
That's how you start.
Very good, Andrew.
Good start.
Yeah, very good.
Good start.
Then you get into it.
Out comes the knife.
On the PayPal subscriber collapse, I'll propose that rather than virtue signaling, who brings that up right away, I think people got scared that they may be levied a $2,500 fee from PayPal if PayPal determined a no agenda show was a misinformation spreader event, so they dropped as a protective measure.
I believe this to be true.
I totally believe it to be true.
It's something I didn't consider because I thought that they were saying, oh, they're going to... That's interesting.
That's why I said expect blowback.
That was very clear to me from the beginning.
This is why people... It was never clear to me.
The blowback, I always expect blowback.
John, John, John, of course we all know it's my fault.
Okay?
I got it.
It is.
It's your fault.
I should have called you.
In fact, Tina and I had a conversation about it and I said, Yeah, you know, I said expect it.
But anyway, the point is, the people leaving PayPal, that was, you know, top trending everywhere.
And the reasons why, because I was reading through it, is people were saying, hey, I don't want to get dinged if I fund something that's deemed inappropriate.
So that was something that people glommed on to immediately just missed.
Well, see, the thing that, the reason I didn't catch is because I read all these documents that come out, all these changes and all the rest, word by word, and it was obvious that the ding was going to happen to the company that did the misinformation.
Not everybody, but it Nobody had that.
It was never made clear to anyone, I guess.
And so I can't... By the way, when I read this and thought about it and realized that's what was going on, I thought to myself, oh my God, how many people are just bailing out left and right?
Oh, that's why they lied and said ho-ho.
I mean, look, I don't know if they lied, but... The damage... Whatever they did.
The damage was done, the stock went down and I think the damage is continuing because I don't think their drawback, their pullback, I don't think half the people realize that that happened, A. And also there's intent.
And there's two or three, there's a good, Epoch Times has an article about it being not an accident, the whole thing was just a scheme for just to, I don't know, test the waters for something or other.
And then other people thought this whole thing may be a psyop, it goes on and on.
Anyway, the guy, our producer, Andrew, says, I understand that the fine would be applied to you at NOAAGEN and not to donors, but at the same time, the money goes on.
Your words are encouraging and PP backed away from the proposed policy anyhow, so the danger's passed.
In that sense, the newsletter is helpful.
And then he makes the point about why would they even entertain such a policy, which is a question that everyone's going to continue to ask.
And then he says, I can't fault folks for deciding not to trust them.
It's therefore a faux pas, in my honest opinion, to label such people as mere virtue-signalers.
Again, some donors seeking to protect themselves from an operation gone woke may take offense to that characterization.
In fact, they did.
We have a lot of lawyers who are already looking at this right now, who tell us if that's really only one side.
But it's irrelevant.
As I said, we've always had multiple ways to support the show, and we're always evaluating new ones.
Right?
Yeah, someone got it.
I haven't contacted him yet, but somebody managed to get a WISE donation pushed through.
And I don't know how he managed it.
There is actually an account, but I don't know that it's been operational.
Also, people have got a number of Zelle.
These numbers compared to PayPal are minor.
But I will mention them.
Zelle comes in occasionally, and it's never been fully set up, but it comes in.
Shows up on the bank balance.
PopMail works like, or PopMail, PopMoney works great.
Zelle, you have to use noagenda at Dvorak.org.
You can't use my name.
Somebody did that again.
Oh, that doesn't work.
That goes into my personal account.
I mean, it's fine if that's what you want, but no.
Hey, that's not fine!
It's not fine if you get an animal irked up.
It's not fine?
It's not fine with the IRS either, so... Which is the main reason we're always careful with these things.
No, these things, it's all IRS.
Because you have to... They're bringing a bunch of new agents on board.
They're bringing new agents, they gotta find something to do.
So I'm sorry about the poorly structured complaint and it could have been better done.
I will agree that the virtue, and by the way, I was cognizant when I was doing this.
It wasn't like I throw words together just randomly.
Put misguided in at the last second, thinking, you know, this'll be good.
But when I wrote Virtue Signaling, I was well aware what I was doing, and I did it on purpose.
It was meant to be insulting.
But it wasn't meant to insult everybody.
It was just meant to insult the people that bailed out.
But it didn't help.
So you sent me an email not too long ago.
What it was about is irrelevant.
And I said, I think I replied to the general crux of your message, you know, fair point, and then F you for all the rest you said.
And then you said, yeah, well, yeah, yeah, right.
Yeah, good, fair point.
Now you don't, now I don't have to grovel for, for being a dick.
I had to apologize.
You love doing that.
It's just who you are.
It's okay.
We love you for it.
Well, I agree.
I would say that this one could have been better executed.
It was my fault for being... I was cavalier.
I used the word cavalier.
I was the one that was cavalier, which is probably why it showed up in there, because sometimes when you're writing, you project yourself into the process.
For people who want to be professional writers, I can tell you a few things.
You're always better Your writing's always better if you have some emotional trigger going on at the time of the writing.
In other words, if you're just neutral, you're a happy-go-lucky guy and you're writing, the product's gonna be happy-go-lucky, probably boring.
But if you're a little irked, I always try to be a little irked.
About something when I'm writing because it comes through with some emotional bias which is picked up by the reader because your voice is in there and it comes through and people are, they'll read it more.
And have we learned anything about this?
Yeah, I learned that I should probably not call people virtue signalers, at least not this group.
They're very touchy.
Bottom line, I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water.
Just send your cash.
Alright, that's all it's really about.
Anyway, so I'm sorry for anyone who was... If you were offended, I'm actually sorry I didn't do a better job.
If you were offended, call this number toll free.
You can be entitled to money!
All right, back to some fear porn.
This morning, President Biden now saying he does not think Russian President Vladimir Putin will use nuclear weapons on the battlefield in Ukraine, telling CNN... I don't think he will.
I think he is a rational actor who's miscalculated significantly.
But warned that Putin's threats could lead to catastrophic mistakes, telling a fundraiser last week, we have not faced the prospect of Armageddon since Kennedy and the Cuban Missile Crisis.
The whole point I was making was it could lead to just a horrible outcome.
And not because anybody intends to turn it into a world war or anything, but just once you use a nuclear weapon, the mistakes that can be made, the miscalculations, who knows what would happen.
It comes after the President and other G7 leaders participated in an emergency virtual meeting.
Hearing from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who pleaded for more air defense systems to help establish an air shield over his country.
I mean, what happened?
I mean, they were doing so great with the nuclear war bit, and now it's like, oh, no, he's not really going to do that.
Nah, not going to happen.
I have no idea why they changed like that.
I think there's... I do have two clips from that Biden-Tapper interview, which was... It was... Hannity got better ratings than... You put... You think you'd put the President of the United States on an interview show, it's supposed to get higher ratings, but Trump did.
Anyone, actually.
Clinton, Trump.
I want to keep it with Russia, though.
Do you have... No, I thought you were doing some Biden stuff there.
Well, no.
You're talking about Biden.
No, I'm talking about nuclear war.
Just Biden, but okay.
Yeah, but I have more nuclear war Russia stuff.
Okay.
Which is also Biden.
What?
Nothing.
You're the one doing it.
You're pushing the nuclear war now.
Go on.
What do you mean WAPO?
Did you just call me WAPO?
WAPO?
I mean...
Cover your children's ears, parents.
Uncle John didn't mean that.
What, Washington Post?
WAPO?
That's a slur.
When you say WAPO to somebody, excuse me.
No, if you say WAP, that's the slur, and it's W-O-P.
This is W-A-P-O.
No, that's worse.
By today's standards, being called anything WAPO is bad.
Alright.
Okay.
So here's a new narrative which is coming.
I'm catching it early on W-I-O-N.
Which means we've got a great accent, but this is coming.
This will be the new Thea.
I thought she was kicked off the air.
I didn't say it was her, did I?
Ah, you didn't.
According to a report by the Italian newspaper La Repubblica, NATO has sent an intelligence note to its member nations and the note reportedly warns NATO members of the mobilization of the T329 Belgorod.
The sources say that this submarine that was launched in the month of July is now in the Arctic waters.
But what is this Russian submarine that has unnerved the 30-member military alliance doing in the Arctic waters?
For one, the Belgorod is the world's largest nuclear-powered submarine.
It is reportedly 184 meters long and 15 meters wide.
Despite its dimensions, it can actually travel at a speed of about 60 kilometers per hour.
Moreover, it can also stay underwater for about 120 days.
Now, the Belgorod is also the carrier of what is known as Russia's weapon of apocalypse, the Poseidon nuclear missile.
Now, NATO is suspecting that Russia is in fact testing the Poseidon missile, the super torpedo, is an unmanned underwater vehicle, more like an underwater drone.
And reports say that it is capable of traveling up to 10,000 kilometers in terms of distance underwater before exploding near the coast, causing what is being described as a radioactive tsunami.
Yeah!
A radioactive tsunami from the Poseidon Doomsday Machine.
It has success written all over it as far as I'm concerned.
They should really roll this one out.
I'm liking this.
60 kilometers an hour?
The ship?
Bull crap.
At that size, I don't think so.
So, we haven't chosen that tactic just yet in the United States.
We have something else that we can implicate Russia in.
Major U.S.
airports were targeted by cyber attacks today with a pro-Russian hacker group claiming responsibility.
Airport websites in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, and other cities were hit with denial-of-service attacks.
Airport operations were not impacted.
Oh yeah, these are hacks, people.
Denial of service attacks.
We had four this morning.
Now, I want to mention something which we brought up on the show before, but it was the Snowden documents that brought out the fact that the CIA, to point the finger, has all these methodologies to make it look like the Russians are doing stuff when it's actually them.
You and I could make this look like the Russians.
Yeah, true.
This is like really lame.
This is not even at CIA level.
Here's the part that I don't understand.
If you listen to this report, let me just get this again.
Listen to what she's saying.
Major U.S.
airports were targeted by cyber attacks today with a pro-Russian hacker group claiming responsibility.
So, okay, they claim responsibility.
Airport websites in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, and other cities were hit with denial-of-service attacks.
Airport operations were not impacted.
So they didn't even determine it.
Apparently some group just went ahead and said, oh yeah, that was us!
We're Russians!
Okay.
That's exactly how the Russians operate.
They always claim their victories.
No.
Never.
Here's ABC's version.
You're right.
In fact, even when they're caught red-handed, they deny it.
Of course they're not going to say, oh yeah, hey, that DDoS, that was us.
No, we're not falling for that.
The question everyone has this morning is whether this attack was a precursor of something worse to come.
Ah, a precursor of something worse to come.
Well, there's only one guy who can give the answers to that.
We know him as the rear admiral.
Maybe he's full admiral now, John Kirby.
And nothing like setting up John Kirby with some softballs from George Stephanopoulos.
First off, what do you make of these cyber attacks?
Are you confident that Russia's behind them?
It's too soon to know, George.
I mean, we're investigating this.
We're looking at this.
Obviously, it's of concern.
Certainly, we're grateful that no airport operations were affected.
No safety was put at risk.
But we're looking into this, and we'll take that seriously.
See, I don't understand why ABC hears Kirby saying, oh, it's too soon to know.
CBS is the one who said, oh, no, they claimed responsibility.
So already, there's a problem here.
There's a discrepancy.
We continue.
And do you believe they're a precursor to follow-on attacks, as Pierre suggested?
Yeah, again, it's just too soon to know, George.
I mean, we just don't really understand fully who's behind this, what the motivation was, certainly at what level.
If any Kremlin officials were aware, we just don't know.
We're going to investigate this.
We're going to try to get to the bottom of it.
And obviously, we take cyber resilience very, very seriously, regardless of what happened there at these airports.
We're constantly looking to improve our own cyber defenses.
For our own civilian infrastructure throughout the country.
Now, as I'm hearing this, I'm thinking, what is Kirby trying to communicate?
You know, what is this?
Is this not a hack?
You know, to say cyber hackers is just incorrect.
There's no hack necessary.
Anybody can start a DDoS.
It's not that complicated.
So is this, are they signaling something?
Is this some kind of setup?
We do know who's behind the attacks on civilians in Ukraine.
Vladimir Putin boasting about it two nights in a row.
Can these attacks turn the military tide?
It doesn't appear like they're going to do that, George.
I mean, we don't know what the next steps here are for Mr. Putin, but you can see just from the reaction of the Ukrainian people over the course of the weekend, they're not backing down, they're not slowing down.
They're going to continue to conduct their counter-offenses.
They are still active on the battlefield.
And as you saw from President Biden's discussion with President Zelensky, the United States is going to stand with them.
We're going to continue to provide security assistance.
Did you notice the little usages meant to insult Putin?
Very clearly he said, Mr. Putin, President Zelensky, President Biden.
Mr. Putin, President Zelensky, President Biden.
This is chicken shit usages that Kirby should be ashamed of himself.
Well, he's a psychological operations guy.
You know, he knows what he's doing.
That's why he does it.
He's not bad for what he's doing.
He's just, he's so transparently stupid that we see through it.
Like, okay.
Including this two-part sales report for the military-industrial complex.
You know, the president's meeting with G7 leaders today.
President Zelensky wants air defenses.
What more is he going to get?
We have been providing air defense capabilities since very much, almost from the beginning of this conflict, George.
Everything from Stingers to now these NASAMs, these National Advanced Surface Air Missile Systems, which are on order for Ukraine.
I love that.
Hey, everybody, these are on order.
Okay, good.
Well, stop glass.
Yeah, these are on order for Ukraine.
Hey, we order.
Hey, hey, hey, give me 2,000 pounds.
Order up.
Order up.
Yeah.
These NASAMS, these National Advanced Surface Air Missile Systems, which are on order for Ukraine, we're going to continue to talk to them as we have been every day about their capabilities.
Clearly, air defense is a need and we're going to work with them on that going forward.
I don't have any announcements today, but I can tell you that... No other announcements for the sales meeting?
We're going to stay committed to giving them the kinds of tools that we know they need on the battlefield.
Clearly, after this weekend, air defense capabilities continue to be a significant need for Ukraine.
Yes.
Do you have anything else for the sales meeting, Mr. Kirby?
How about longer-range attack missiles?
I'm sorry?
How about longer-range attack missiles?
We're not closing any doors, George.
Again, we continue to talk to them every day.
In fact, there'll be a meeting this week in Brussels, Secretary of Defense.
Another meeting.
Another meeting.
We got the PowerPoint.
We're going to show them the capabilities, show them the price tag.
To talk to them every day.
In fact, there'll be a meeting this week in Brussels, Secretary of Defense is having yet another Ukraine contact group meeting with probably 50 nations there to talk about the needs.
And we'll look at the whole spectrum, but I just don't have anything to announce today.
This is why I'm thinking maybe they also wanted to beef up their cyber a little bit, so they threw that in, you know, possibly.
Because this is a sales report.
He's literally saying, you know, we don't have nothing new to report, but when we got those missiles on order, and yeah, got a meeting with everybody, big sales meeting with the G7, you know, telling Brussels, yeah, mm-hmm.
And after that, we're all going to hang out in Paris.
It's gonna be great.
Putin, what?
President Biden talked about off-ramps for Vladimir Putin last week.
Is the only off-ramp for Russia to leave Ukraine?
That is the best off-ramp and that's frankly what Mr. Putin should be doing.
He should be ending this war.
He can choose to end it.
You saw in the President's statement yesterday after speaking to President Zelensky, we believe that Mr. Putin should remove all his troops from Ukraine.
Short of that, and clearly he has shown no indication of being willing to do that or even to sit down at the negotiating table, so short of that, what we have to do is make sure that Ukraine can continue to succeed on the battlefield so that when it gets to the negotiating table, Mr. Zelensky has leverage and he needs to succeed in negotiations as well.
John Kirby, thanks very much.
He kind of smacked Zelensky down, then it was Mr. Zelensky.
He made a mistake there, because he said President Zelensky just before he said Mr. But this idea of making Putin look like just a nobody, and then trying to get him out of office, I mean this is...
a regime change operation.
They're trying anyway.
And they tried it with when Hillary was the Secretary of State.
This reminds me of all the stuff that they tried to do to Fidel Castro over the years.
And what it resulted in was the guy pretty much dying in office instead of being there for maybe a term or two and giving, you know, loosening up.
No, it created resolve, which is doing the same thing to Putin.
And he's never gonna leave!
No.
Ever!
No.
And that off-ramp he knows is a non-starter.
No, I still think that eliminating Vlad is still on deck.
I don't think they have the... I don't think they can do it.
I don't understand why they have to.
Isn't he dying of cancer?
Yeah, sure.
It's pretty healthy to me.
There was one report that came from Deutsche Welle, the most honest report about what's going on in Kiev, Kiev to those in the know.
Just spectacularly honest, doesn't happen very often.
What we know so far is that very close to this place where I am right now, really just a block away, several explosions destroyed partially buildings, but also hit cars.
We do not know exactly how many people are injured or even dead, but according to the spokesperson of the emergency unit... The spokesperson?
Uh-huh.
How many people are injured or even dead, but according to the spokesperson of the emergency unit.
Spokesperson.
It's so, it's so true.
So, uh, you know, when you do your Dutch voice.
Yes, I know.
You don't, you know, I've, I've been listening to these voices because I think some of them are, they're entertaining when they try to, you know, non-English speakers, they always go into a stammer.
And she did it in there.
And I think if you incorporate that, it'll help the voice.
Play that clip again through the stammer.
It's right at the beginning.
Hold on a second.
Uh, where is she?
Here we go.
What we know so far is that very close to this place where I am right now, really just a block away, several explosions destroyed partially buildings but also hit cars.
I can do that.
I can add that.
I could perhaps do this maybe, a little bit more of a throw sometimes.
I throw the thing in.
That's pretty much it, yes.
I would do like three.
Well, since we're talking about that, why don't we introduce Rob Ross to the show.
Many people have seen this.
It was quite shocking what took place in European Parliament.
Uh, did we discuss this on Thursday?
We might have.
Or on Sunday?
We might have.
No, no, what we had, we had the Irish woman going nuts.
Right, okay, so this is, uh, now the, so the European Parliament had a committee hearing and they brought in vaccine manufacturers.
And this one clip went super viral from a Dutch member of European Parliament who does talk like this, but I don't think he has the stammer that much.
And he asked very clearly, like, you know, did you check this stuff?
Did you do trials on people?
And the answer was something that, of course, has not hit the mainstream anywhere, but I think everyone who's interested... It nailed everybody but the mainstream.
Right.
And as good No Agenda producers, people went and looked at the whole hearing.
Oh, this was... This is... You got gypped if all you saw was the clip.
You really got gypped, because this is good.
And it's funny as well.
It's just crazy what went on there.
So, here's the Rubro's question, which, you know, he started in Dutch.
I'm actually going to play a little bit more of the intro and more of her answer.
Mr. Ross.
Thank you, Chair.
I will speak in Dutch.
Ik wil ook graag weten...
I'd also like to know where Mr. Bula is, why he's not here with us today.
Ms.
Small, do you have any information?
So this was one of the big questions they all asked.
How come the CEO isn't here?
I mean, what is that?
We spend billions of euros on your product, the guy can't even show up?
So everyone was pissed about that.
I have a mandate from Pfizer to speak freely and openly and answer our questions.
You're not going into the content on the question of SMS gate that was raised by Ms. Trillet Noir.
Now you say that you want to avoid misinformation through- All right, so I got to set this up.
So the way this works is not quite the way it works in the Senate hearing or like the January 6th hearing.
They ask their questions, and they'll do three or four questions, then they'll move on to another person, and then they take all of these questions, then the witness answers, you know, three, four, five questions in a row.
Yeah, we've tried to implement that here.
It sucks.
In various debate situations and it never works because questions are skipped.
And it's media unfriendly.
You know, because what you want, you want the badgering, you want the hounding.
That's why they don't allow it.
So you can't badger the witness.
It's very democratic, sounds to me.
Sounds like just the way it should work.
So SMSgate that he's referring to, everyone's really angry.
If you recall, that contract appeared between several European Union, or I think it was the European Union proper.
There was redacted and it was very, no one really knew what was going on with it.
The amounts were redacted.
And then there was the string of text messages between Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, and Queen Ursula.
And so everyone wants to know, hey, what exactly was in these text messages?
Did you just negotiate this over text message?
So now that's turned into SMSgate.
SMS gate that was raised by Ms.
Trillet-Noir.
Now you say that you want to avoid misinformation through better information.
But this all begins with Pfizer itself.
So, Ms.
Small, by being transparent on your side.
So I'm very curious to know what the fact that the CEO from Pfizer would say that they want to be transparent and then not show up at this commission.
Mr. Bula is very interested in having billions of euros in profit on the backs of the EU citizens, but is not willing to provide an explanation.
Mr. Bula was personally involved in contract negotiations via SMS with the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.
This is why his presence would be absolutely crucial here.
Now, the European Ombudsman, the European Court of Auditors have spoken on the consequences of the scandal, and these are very damning.
So I really think that Mr. Bula would need to be present, and we need to do this in order to ensure full transparency in the process.
So a question then for you, Ms. Small, where I would like a clear answer, please.
So there are no misunderstandings.
That, by the way, was pretty slick, because he switched from Dutch to English, and the translation cut out, and his mic went live almost immediately.
So I don't know if that was maybe a scripted bit or they had the... It has to be.
There's no way that's gonna happen.
That's what I thought too.
And so now he switches to the Ditch.
I would like a clear answer, please.
So there are no misunderstandings.
Was the Pfizer-Covid vaccine tested on stopping the transmission of the virus before it entered the market?
If not, please say it clearly.
If yes, are you willing to share the data with this committee?
And I really want a straight answer, yes or no, and I'm looking forward to it.
Thank you very much.
So I felt, just seeing the viral clip on Twitter, like it was really selling short, you know, the severity of what they want out of Pfizer.
It's not just this one thing, but here's her answer and then some.
Regarding the question around, did we know about stopping humanisation before it's entered the market?
No.
We had to really move at the speed of science to really understand what is taking place in the market.
And from that point of view, we had to do everything at risk.
I think I was.
Dr. Bourla, even though he's not here, would turn around and say to himself, if not us, then who?
Dr. Bourla actually felt the importance of what was going on in the world.
So let's just stop there for a second.
So what everyone fell over, of course, is he says, no, we were doing this at the speed of science, whatever that means.
Yeah, I found that speed of science comment interesting.
I mean, as soon as I heard that, I thought of Copernicus.
How long did it take for the world to catch up to Copernicus' idea that the sun is the center of the universe?
No, it wasn't a year or two.
It took a while, if I recall.
Hundreds of years, basically, is the speed of science.
Yeah, well, there were some questions about that speed of science that came up later, but the main stumbling block here is Someone lied somewhere because all the politicians, all of the propaganda, we'll call it public relations, all of that was, you won't get COVID, you won't get COVID.
And they didn't do any trials or have no data to show for it, and of course it's the speed of science.
So everything was a lie and somebody knew it.
I mean, no surprise, no surprise to us, obviously, but to a lot of people, this is, this is, like, whoa!
This is just shocking!
I'm shocked!
And so now... Gambling!
But now I want you to hear, because this is what no one played...
Here how she weasels her way or tries to weasel their way out of this speed of science business.
If not us, then who?
Dr. Bourla actually felt the importance of what was going on in the world.
And therefore, as a result of that, we actually spent $2 billion at risk.
of self-funded money from Pfizer to be able to manufacture, well, first of all, research, develop and manufacture at risk to be able to make sure that we were in a position to be able to help with the pandemic.
And I think that's why I feel very good when a recent paper from the Imperial College stated that in the first year of the rollout of vaccines, we saved four million people.
Oh, there it is.
Saved or created?
Sucked.
So they, at Imperial College, they debunked and corrupt Imperial College numbers, which we've gone over years ago.
Yep, yep.
Because there's some one guy there who does this.
He did the same thing with, in fact, he's the guy who did the hoof-and-mouth disease, or whatever it was called.
That ended up killing half the cattle on the British Isles when it was unnecessary because he was full of it.
And this guy, so they based everything on that and because their numbers showed, okay, yeah, this saved or created.
But she's proud of it.
She's proud of the Imperial College numbers.
I think that's why I feel very good when a recent paper from the Imperial College stated that in the first year of the rollout of vaccines we saved 4 million people.
So from that point of view, I feel that actually we were there when the world needed us to be able to make sure that we were able to help people around the world with with vaccination as well as now oral oral treatment.
I would hate to imagine what situation we would be in in the world right now if Companies like us did not take those risks, did not do clinical research and developments at scale in order to make sure that we could have a vaccine that we could roll out to the world.
So I really, I understand your frustrations.
I really do.
But I also hope at some point somewhere you also do appreciate what pharmaceutical companies have done in order to be able to roll out and deliver vaccines at such speed and scale.
So I also, I have a hard time believing this $2 billion at risk.
Operation Warp Speed threw cash at them immediately, as far as I can remember.
It wasn't like, oh... She is a classic, arrogant executive, corporate executive, full of herself.
Never wrong.
I mean, that's why they put her up there.
I mean, there's no, you don't select someone to go in front of the view like this to replace Borla, who's also full of crap.
But you got to put somebody out there that's good.
And she's, she has, she covers the basis.
Regarding, sorry.
Oh, price.
By the way, I'm surprised she's not lecturing them.
Oh, it's coming up now.
So another question was about the pricing.
So, how did you determine price?
Because, you know, everyone got different prices, and it's all very shady, and it was all redacted.
And so, the chairwoman, remember, she asked all these questions.
Price, price, pricing, yes, check my pricing.
Check my pricing.
Regarding, sorry.
Price.
Oh, price, okay.
Price.
Honestly, it's on my notes.
I just haven't got to it constantly.
It is there, isn't it?
Pricing.
So, look, I understand you've talked a lot of pricing and thrown out a lot of prices, but from our point of view, we cannot discuss pricing.
Pricing is confidential.
And from that point of view, I know, again, you're going to be very frustrated.
I can see it in your faces.
You're going to be very frustrated with my answer.
Pricing is confidential and from that point of view I am not able to have a conversation with you other than to repeat what has always been out there in that we have taken a tiered pricing approach to pricing to make sure that it is affordable for the governments to be able to ensure that citizens can have it without out-of-pocket funding and in addition to that we've made sure that low and middle-income countries are having it at not-for-profit and
I understand your frustration, but we cannot discuss pricing.
It is confidential.
I love that.
Hey, we understand that you really paid for it, but we're not going to tell you how that worked out, how that happened.
Screw you.
I'm sorry you're frustrated.
I found that to be quite interesting, the way they pull that rabbit out of a hat, because what's confidential about it?
You're under, you're at a hearing.
Ah, ah, ah, ah.
This was exactly the moment where Christine Anderson, our favorite lady there from, was she from Norway?
Denmark?
One of the Navias.
She jumps in and she says, excuse me!
Mrs. Anderson, please.
Yes, thank you.
This is quite ridiculous what we're doing here.
And pursuant to Article 211 of the Rules of Procedure, I am proposing that this committee declares itself incompetent in getting clarification on the content of the contracts between EU Commission and pharmaceutical companies with regards to the mRNA vaccines in general And the exchange of text messages between Ursula von der Leyen, President of EU Commission, and Mr. Bourla, CEO of Pfizer in particular.
It is quite obvious in today's proceedings... Mrs. Andersen, we'll put that on the agenda... No, no, no, I will raise my point of order now and according to the rules you will have to let me continue.
Okay, you continue.
Thank you.
Not more than a minute.
You don't have to make a full statement.
This committee lacks the authority to get to the bottom of crucial questions.
The fact that Mr. Borla, CEO of Pfizer, had the audacity to refuse to appear in front of this committee to answer questions constitutes a gross disregard for the people whose tax money he took, by the way.
If we cannot compel a crucial player to appear in front of this committee, then this committee is useless.
So I propose that we declare ourselves incompetent and I furthermore propose that this committee concludes the need for a committee of inquiry and formally requests the Conference of Presidents to initiate the necessary steps to propose the EU Parliament in setting up such a committee as provided in Rule 208 in conjunction with Article 226 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
I'm going to cut you!
I'm going to cut you!
Okay, Mrs. Anderson, now I'm going to cut you.
And finally I request roll call vote.
Did she say I'm going to cut you?
I'm going to cut you, bitch.
Is that what she said?
Listen to this.
The peoples of Europe's right to democratic.
Okay, Mrs. Anderson, now I'm going to cut you.
And finally I request the roll call vote on these proposals.
Thank you very much.
I'm going to cut you.
I'm going to cut you.
It got real testy if you want to hear a little more of that.
Yeah, a little bit.
We will have a discussion at the coordinators and of course the ID group can go to the conference of presidents.
Can I remind this committee this is not an investigating committee, this is a special committee.
And this falls not within the remits of this committee.
So we will have a discussion in the coordinators and the ID group can take all the initiatives towards the conference of presidents.
And now I cut you off, this is it.
Okay?
Okay, we will have to vote on the We will have to look at the coordinators and we will then decide how to proceed on the issue.
So in other words you refuse to take the vote right now that I just proposed as a point of order.
You refuse?
Just yes or no.
Let me see.
We will take that up at the coordinators and if necessary, if a vote is necessary, we will come back to that.
Don't worry.
So in other words, you refuse to take a vote on a point of order I raised.
I give the floor now to Mr. Teres.
I give the floor now to Mr. Teres.
So then Teres came out.
You remember Teres?
He's from, I want to say he's either from Spain or Portugal.
This is the guy who's mad!
He is pissed off and he's bringing another little ditty to the table.
I was paying very close attention to everything that was said here and I cannot hide my shock.
And, you know, nobody answered concrete questions that all of my colleagues asked.
We heard allegations here and statements from the representative of Pfizer stating, and I quote, that they cannot release the contracts because they have certain interests.
What about the interests of the people?
What about their health?
Because it's our authority and our job to make sure that we get to the bottom of this.
So the first question that I address to you It's the following.
Just yes or no.
When exactly are you going to fully publish the contracts that you signed between Pfizer and the European Commission?
Second question.
You were mentioning the risks and you gave us some billions of euros that your company invested in producing these vaccines.
What about the health of the people who are actually put at risk?
By being injected with these medical products that clearly, in some cases, might have adverse effects.
So the second question is, is Pfizer liable according to these secret contracts that none of us saw?
So we want to know exactly.
Is Pfizer liable or responsible for any adverse effects produced by your own products?
Third question.
Has Pfizer had access to the coronavirus before December 2019 when we knew about it.
And here's the reason why I'm asking for it.
The whole world found out about the COVID or coronavirus in December of 2019.
On January 11, 2020, the Chinese government published, and I quote, the genetic data of this virus.
But in the data that your company submitted to EMA in order to receive marketing authorization, you provided data showing that you tested your medical product, and I quote, you started the test.
On January 14, 2020.
So I'm asking you, how is it possible that in three days, after the whole world found out the genetic data of this virus, your company already tested the vaccine on mice?
Thank you.
We did get some answers as to why there's so many, it appears to be more heart attacks, other heart issues within the general population and two UK publications have told us subsequently that in fact they came out with an urgent warning
To gardeners, because soil can actually increase your risk of killer heart disease.
Oh yeah.
Soil.
And, and... Video games could trigger heart attacks in children.
That's what does it.
And we got a boots on the ground report from our practicing internist who has been in medical research and are in research for over 20 years.
She's given us boots on the ground before and she has an answer to your question.
John is exactly correct in his observations.
The rate of a young athlete dying does not equate to hearing about it once a year.
It is not a common thing.
The artfulness of these news pieces, along with others, is that they weave truth in such a way that it becomes a lie.
They don't outright state false medical statistics that you can look up and verify.
Every single condition that leads to a young athlete dying are classified under rare conditions.
Every single serious heart condition a young person has is classified as rare.
So, right there, I would say that's proof.
As physicians, we are taught from day one to look at diseases and diagnose based on demographics, i.e., how old is the person, male or female, etc., to help with the diagnosis.
Every single disease entity is classified in our minds as common or rare.
To present young individuals dying or having heart conditions as something every parent should hear about is incredibly misleading.
We of course know why they were doing this, but the fact that they are doing this scares and saddens me.
It means that they are already covering their ass, I mean, agendas, and we will be seeing more young healthy people needlessly die.
And there you have it.
Yeah, and then she has a final note from a professional standpoint.
The last few years have forced me to grow up in ways I did not anticipate, but you cannot unknow what you now know or unsee what you now see.
I'm a physician who was taught by leaders in their fields.
I read and believe what I read in the New England Journal of Medicine, the Lancet, the CDC website, etc.
My views and advice now classify me as a quack who can lose my license and board status.
I would like to say The web of special interests and monetary exchanges all started with COVID, but alas, it did not.
No, it started with insurance.
Yep.
Sure did.
Well, on COVID, I do some kids.
Yeah.
I do have another NPR report of the NPR, the National Public Promote COVID Vaccine with this one guy who, the one guy who talks like this because I sound sick, but I talk about I'm a medicine guy.
I'm going to talk like this until I die.
And so here's a report on how the bivalent vaccine is doing for kids.
The Food and Drug Administration expanded eligibility today for the new COVID-19 boosters to include children as young as five, and the CDC immediately recommended them.
NPR health correspondent Bob Stein has the story.
Until now, only adults and kids 12 and older could get one of the new boosters, updated versions of the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines that for the first time target Omicron.
The FDA's expanded authorizations opens up the shots to younger kids.
Those as young as 6 can now get the Moderna shot, and those as young as 5 can get the Pfizer-BioNTech.
That's about 28 million kids who are now eligible.
This comes as welcome news to many pediatricians and parents, according to Dr. Sean O'Leary from the American Academy of Pediatrics.
It is true that kids are less affected than adults, but it's also not correct to say that it's a benign disease in children.
And unfortunately, you can't really predict who's going to get particularly sick from COVID.
The booster definitely offers additional protection in terms of the severe outcomes that we really care about.
But others question whether the so-called bivalent boosters are any better than the original shots.
Dr. Paul Offit is a pediatric vaccine expert at the University of Pennsylvania who advises the FDA.
We have, to date, no evidence that the bivalent vaccine is any better, so it's a little frustrating.
as we keep moving forward without evidence.
Hopefully we'll be able to generate that evidence to show that the bivalent vaccine is clearly of value, but to date, those data don't exist.
It's unclear how many parents want the new boosters for their kids.
Only about a third of parents of children younger than 12 have gotten their kids the first two shots, and only about 15% got their kids the original booster.
Jen Cates is at the Kaiser Family Foundation.
I think it's going to be a tough sell.
I think there's going to be a small group of parents who are ready to go.
They're anxious.
It's the fall.
Their kids are already getting flu and, you know, other kinds of respiratory illnesses.
So they're ready, but they're a minority of parents.
This guy, is it the same guy as this?
How you doing, Booster?
It sounds like the same guy.
It might be.
I've noticed this on NPR.
I've been listening to it.
There's a lot of people on NPR that can't seem to breathe through their nose.
So I don't know why.
Well, you know, it's like when you're working there and you can't breathe through your nose, you hire more mouth breathers.
Seems to be something like that going on.
That's part two of this very short.
Many parents say they're going to take a wait-and-see approach, and at least a third of parents of these young kids say they have no interest in boosting their kids.
What's more, only about 15 of the 200 million people who have been eligible for the new booster since Labor Day have gotten one of the shots.
That's alarming many public health experts.
The immunity people have from their first shots and infections is fading.
And yet another wave of infections could be coming, driven by new Omicron variants that are even better at dodging the immune system.
And probably better at dodging the vaccine, too.
So they keep pushing it.
I mean, it's funny.
These numbers are showing that the public is Getting the public at large, despite the mainstream media's power, is getting generally skeptical.
Yeah.
Although that's not stopping the mainstream.
Here's ABC.
Good morning America.
Now to the growing concerns over rising flu cases.
Here in New York, officials have noted 600 influenza cases, compared to just 150 this time last year.
Dr. Jen Ashton here.
And Jen, it's still early in the flu season.
Yeah, and you mentioned it perfectly, George.
It's 600 compared to what, right?
You have to compare it to what, and you have to compare it to when.
So yes, the slope is going up, the cases are going up, and the concern is that people won't take it seriously.
Why is this happening?
I think really two main theories at this point.
Number one, our behavior has changed.
We're out and about more than we were in the last two years.
And then, lower vaccination rates, that is always a concern.
So remember, we have to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time.
It's COVID and influenza, and we need the vaccination.
I like how she's not even promoting the bivalent, just saying, almost like, you need COVID and influenza, so when you go to the store, like, oh, I can get both at the same time!
Here's part two.
So when and how should people get their vaccine?
So if you look at the who, what, where, when, why and how of flu vaccination, according to the CDC, it's recommended that most people get their vaccination.
You know, you can get it right now, but by the end of October, and it is never too late because the flu season goes through March or April, who should get it?
Pretty much everyone six months of age and older.
And again, in terms of the what and the logistics, you can get both the COVID vaccine.
That's what I was going to ask.
The flu vaccine on the same day.
The one thing I would recommend, if I were your Dr. George, get one in one arm and the other in the other arm.
And have one bad day and it's all over.
Better safe than sorry.
So Tom Fitton, you were talking about him earlier.
Muscles.
Yeah.
He actually came out with something pretty good.
They got, what was it, like 290 pages, 249 pages of the Biden administration's plan to promote the COVID vaccine.
And so this is all FOIA, it's emails, it's PowerPoints.
It's hilarious.
Because it's mainly women, and there's a reason I mention that, because there is... What's mainly women?
Who are in charge of the campaign, of the promotion, the PR, the propaganda.
Interesting.
And it's these communication women.
And I say this because... A lot of them got degrees in communications.
Heck yeah!
And so as they're communicating back and forth, and you know, they're talking to National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, and they're all giddy, all giddy with it about, oh, it'd be so great to have some stars promote this.
And it's pages and pages of Stuff that we could have come up with.
Oh, so here's a couple.
So this is for the earned media category.
And by the way, there was $10 billion.
billion dollars ten billion dollars spent on this nonsense let's earn the media earned media is where you get that's and this is why I know exactly what type of people these are when you're a PR consultant or the communications consultant you you you also will get interviews etc for For, you know, in newspapers.
It's done most frequently in newspapers.
And they'll say, okay, you got 750 words in the Wall Street Journal.
That's an earned media equivalent of, you know, $150,000 you'd have to pay to buy that space.
That's the earned media.
Yes, yes.
In fact, I know a PR guy who used to work, and he used to live in Marin, who used to charge by earned media.
Yeah.
In other words, he wouldn't have a fee.
He would get stories planted here and there, and each one had a certain value, and that's what the billing would be.
Exactly.
Or they give him a break.
Yeah, no, it's crazy.
So they have vaccine engagement packages that are being sent to all entertainment talent and management agencies, vaccine engagement package to all media companies and show producers, outreach to major culture event producers.
Stop.
Where did the money, who paid for this?
We did.
It was $10 billion from the COVID fund.
Okay, it came out of the COVID fund?
Yeah, out of the COVID money.
What was it?
Was that Restart America?
I mean, it's important, but it's not that important.
So continue.
There's even mention of where this money's coming from in these documents.
It came from the taxpayers.
In other words, we paid to propagandize ourselves.
Well, the Federal Reserve marked up some numbers and people went and spent that, so we're paying for it now.
Correct.
Here's a couple of my favorites.
Produce HHS question and answer videos featuring local black doctors discussing the vaccines, how they work, and why the public should get vaccinated.
Request Tom... Yes, that black doctor angle.
We all saw this.
There's more.
Request Tom Brady create a video with his parents encouraging vaccination.
Request custom partnerships with the social media platforms with algorithms to hit the audience.
Launch Hollywood comedy writers video content.
So now they're hiring.
Now they're getting people to do video.
Remember the TikTok team Halo?
All of this.
Work with Instagram to produce a series about vaccines.
Feature young creators doing in-depth pieces about young people's questions.
Request a stories highlight on vaccines.
We played a lot of these while they were being promoted, while they were in action.
Request major TikTok, Snapchat, and Instagram influencers to create videos of themselves being vaccinated and start a special campaign of funny and or musical videos about being vaccinated to encourage others to create content and post.
So at this point, but now, okay, so now we get into...
That's one way of getting rid of these TikTokers.
I'm going somewhere with this.
So then we have the urnmedia.
Request a vaccination special on Christian Broadcast Network featuring evangelical leaders.
Dream on, lady!
I don't think that ever happened.
But they always go for the preachers and the pastors and the reverends.
You know, these are very influential.
Request that the major live TV entertainment shows feature hosts being vaccinated on air.
For example, hosts of The Voice.
Well, this happened quite broadly.
We saw many hosts getting vaccinated on television.
Requests that TV, morning and daytime talk shows feature special vaccination reunion moments with everyday Americans talking about what this means to them.
Example, hugging grandma for the first time.
You evil son of a bitches!
You evil people!
It is.
I would say at that point with that one is evil.
Yes.
Convene an editorial meeting with the publishers of Catholic newspapers and newsletters across the country.
Then they want vaccination specials with Black Entertainment Network.
And here's the one that was hilarious.
Place a trusted messenger on the Joe Rogan show to promote vaccination In parentheses, work with outside expert to identify who will be most effective.
Your buddy?
Well, no, because this was April of 2021, so it wasn't Osterholm.
No, it wasn't Osterholm.
No.
So I send this to Joe thinking, oh my God.
And by the way, the work with outside expert to identify who will be most effective, I'm like, what is this, a PSYOP?
Who are they getting involved in this?
Well, most public relations things at this level are psyops.
Well, no.
I sent it to Joe.
Joe's like, wow, that's crazy.
And then he comes back later and says, you know, I remember someone tried to get some, they requested someone to be on the show and I just ignored him because it was stupid.
And I believe that.
These people are stupid.
They don't even have the finesse to put a PSYOP in place on the Joe Rogan show.
They just went up and asked.
I think, I disagree with you.
I think they were very successful overall.
Before this, before this.
They were shotgunning the whole thing, so they had every imaginable, because a lot of stuff like the preachers and things like that weren't going to happen.
A lot of them did, a lot of the black preachers.
A lot of them did, but that's the point.
Joe didn't bite and his group didn't bite, but they did have Osterholm on, so it was a wash.
Um... Yeah, but Joe invited Osterholm himself.
He says there was no... Yeah, no, I realize that, but it's like a wash.
It's like, why do we need to do any more with this guy because he already had Osterholm on.
Just coincidentally.
It's a coincidence.
I think they were very good at this.
This is, uh, this is...
The kind of thing that goes on, and this was, I mean, if we just look at the whole last couple of years... Everything came true, pretty much.
They did a hell of a job, and I think it was an overall PSYOP.
I mean, it wasn't a PSYOP per se, because it wasn't run by an intelligence agency that we know of.
Well, you know, just knowing that companies like Cargill... Cargill actually has one of the largest industrial intelligence units.
I think we've talked about this.
They have thousands of spies, basically.
They're not the only ones.
No!
I would think that the pharmaceutical companies have the same type of division.
They must.
And they're at it again.
Here is your next PSYOP.
They're coming for your kids.
A new recommendation calls for children as young as eight to be screened for anxiety.
An independent panel of health experts says the screening should be done during routine doctor's visits.
They say the aim is not to diagnose a child with anxiety, but it's to identify those who need support.
That's the headline, but that is just not true.
They're finally just going all out, starting at 8, we're gonna screen your kid, it'll happen at school, they're gonna be identified as having anxiety, which, by the way, put the damn phone down, anxiety goes away pretty quickly, but the children are anxious, it's encouraged, they have teddy bears in the schools, up until high school!
They're all anxious.
Look, I get anxious, everybody gets anxious, but now this has to be identified, and then we're going to pump them full with drugs, and I don't care which way she spins this, whoever this doctor is, what's her name, on ABC America this morning, just listen to what's being said here, and very clear, this is to drug your children.
U.S.
Preventive Services Task Force.
It's an influential panel of experts.
They announced that children should be routinely screened for mental health issues as early as eight years old.
This even applies to kids who are not showing any signs or symptoms of a mental health problem.
So, what does this change for you and your family?
Well, here to help us break it down, psychiatrist, Dr. Sue Varma.
So let's start with the top lines here.
Walk us through the recommendations, Dr. Varma.
What are they suggesting that these pediatricians actually do?
Yes.
So, from age 8 and above, we want to do anxiety screenings.
And age 12 and above, we want to do depression screenings.
And the idea is that we want to catch symptoms of anxiety early, even in people or even in children who are not exhibiting signs.
And the idea is that if we can catch it now, this can... Hold on!
We want to catch it.
Even in children who are not exhibiting signs, we want to catch it.
Okay.
Screenings.
And the idea is that we want to catch symptoms of anxiety early, even in people or even in children who are not exhibiting signs.
And the idea is that if we can... I mean, what is that?
So, we want to catch things that... We want to catch people exhibiting signs, even people who aren't exhibiting signs.
They're coming for you.
And the idea is that we want to catch symptoms of anxiety early, even in people or even in children who are not exhibiting signs.
And the idea is that if we can catch it now, this can prevent adulthood, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, chronic medical illness.
Okay, I want you to play that same little segment again.
And it can be so nicely clipped by us, by me, where it stops at the word adulthood.
If you can stop it, so it goes, we're looking for you, whether you got any signs or not, we're going to do what we can to prevent adulthood.
The idea is that we want to catch symptoms of anxiety early, even in people or even in children who are not exhibiting signs.
And the idea is that if we can catch it now, this can prevent adulthood.
Okay.
Well, that's part of it.
This is, you know, it's all part of it.
This may also be a honey trap to get the trans kids.
I mean, it's all coming!
This can prevent adulthood, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, chronic medical illnesses like diabetes and obesity.
Oh, who wouldn't want to immediately stop anxiety because anxiety can lead to diabetes?
Check my kid!
Look, every kid has his or her ups and downs.
What are the symptoms?
What takes it to that next level?
Yes, so you want to look in certain key areas.
Academics, are the grades slipping?
Social friendships, are they withdrawing and isolating?
At home, is the hygiene down?
Are they sleeping a lot?
Are they losing interest and pleasure in the activities that they once used to?
Your child may be a teenager!
Oh no!
Screen them!
Are they sleeping a lot?
Are they losing interest and pleasure in the activity?
What?
Are they sleeping a lot?
Has anyone raised a kid?
Are they withdrawing?
Jay's in her twenties and she still sleeps too much.
That's what kids do!
They sleep a lot.
They sleep a lot.
Stop it, stop it!
In key areas, academics, are the grades slipping?
Social friendships, are they withdrawing and isolating?
At home, is the hygiene down?
Are they sleeping a lot?
Are they losing interest and pleasure in the activities that they once used to?
Are they complaining of a lot of unexplained medical symptoms?
I have a headache, I have a stomach ache, but we can't get to the bottom of it.
Do you really want to look at impairment in functioning?
Is there a change in their baseline?
So, if your child does get flagged, um... Do you hear what she says?
Yeah, I heard what she said, but if your child gets flagged... So your child is gonna get flagged!
Flagged!
As anxious.
Could lead to diabetes, could lead to drug use later on, could... You know what?
You might become a Republican!
Do you really want to look at impairment in functioning?
Is there a change in their baseline?
So if your child does get flagged, I guess there's a couple questions.
What should you do?
And then there's the anxiety piece.
And then to me, there's the what is the basis of that anxiety?
How do you get down to what the root is instead of just treating the anxiety portion?
Yes.
So while I love the fact that primary care doctors, pediatricians in this case, are the ones who are going to screen, but it's not a diagnosis, right?
So you still need to see a behavioral health specialist to help you unpack what are all the details?
What are the triggers?
Are there difficulties in home?
Is the kid being bullied?
What is happening?
What are all the situational factors?
Have you just moved to a new home?
Is there a new school?
Is there a transition?
So I'm a big believer in understanding what is the root cause, because I don't like the idea of somebody just getting a diagnosis or even treatment or medication that they possibly don't need without figuring out what else is going on, including medical problems.
So this is the first step, not the last.
I think what she's really saying here is they get flagged, we're going to screen, they get flagged, we're going to give them drugs, and then we're going to see what's really going on.
Well, she specifically said that drugs are kind of secondary.
No, no, no, no.
She didn't really say that.
I've listened to this many times.
She said, I don't just want this.
We also have to look at that.
It doesn't matter.
It's clear what they're doing.
No, it's obvious what they're up to.
It's clear what they're doing.
In other pharma fraud news, this was surprising.
In a gold standard trial, Turns out colonoscopy... Oh yeah, that's a good one.
It's just useless.
Really doesn't do anything except make you walk funny for a day.
That's, I mean, that's a bombshell right there.
Yeah, I read that too.
I was like, oh, brother.
I mean, this is like half the stuff they do is like unnecessary.
It's just, you know, I know the medical systems around here are all so tight.
They've wiped out most of the independent doctors.
You can't find one.
They're all part of a system now.
Yeah.
And you go in there to get something, you know, and the next thing you know, you should do this.
And they try to rack up the bills that they can ding the government for.
And you can see that's what they're doing.
Yeah.
They're just, and maybe we should go see a specialist.
What do I need a specialist?
Well, you know, you should go see one.
And so here's some guys you can go see, the high price doctors, you know, the, the dermatologist, the endocrinologist, those guys.
And they cost more, but it's all legit, you know, so they can ding the government.
Oh, you're okay.
You know, and here's the bill.
Oh, it looks like you only have to pay 10 bucks, but your insurance, whatever it is, has to pay this.
It's just a, it's a whole thing is a giant, massive, they don't, you're just a product.
It's terrible.
You know, I went to the... If I could find a good osteopath, I'd use one.
I went to the periodontist yesterday.
So this is...
Ties into this and partially also I got news, new information.
So it turns out I'm going to have to have two procedures, two operations.
So after many different visits of checking and cleaning and looking and seeing how my mouth restores and heals and a CT scan.
Turns out there's a little more wrong than just what we thought it was in the front.
The top two molars left and right are completely surrounded by infection and guess what?
This is the entire reason for my sinus issues the past 10 years that I've been trying to treat with all kinds of different medications.
It turns out it's just inflamed and especially when I eat then it starts to screw with my sinuses and I get runny nose and stuff like that.
So that's the good news.
Bad news is, two procedures.
I have no insurance for this.
Of course you meant.
And here's what the periodontist said.
He said, bro, you got no insurance.
I'm cutting it in half.
Because that's normally the scam.
I'm not having my entire mouth right.
Cutting it in half because of the insurance, yes.
This whole thing is a mess.
In half, in half.
Yeah, in half.
That's about right.
- Right, sounds right. - Well you're not talking like this, so you can't be that bad.
Well, okay, so this is kind of serious, actually, and this has to be done for my overall health.
That's why it's going to be two-stage, and so I'll be walking around for three months with temporary teeth.
So you are going to start talking like that on the show.
Well, so this is why, you know, I have two dentists working on this with me.
We're going to have some kick-ass temporaries because the fear is obviously slissing, whistling.
This is what I do.
So we had many meetings and conversations, but it does mean that on November 29th, which is a Tuesday, I go out.
Uh, they do not expect me to be rip-roaring and happy to go by that Thursday.
Sunday, they say you probably should not be a problem.
But that Thursday, we're gonna have to do something else, because I will be out.
Oh, you want to do a temporary?
We can do one of our evergreens.
We have to do something, yeah.
Yeah.
But don't you think it'd be kind of at least interesting?
We'd get a big audience if we actually did a show and you had some sort of strange sound.
Oh, dude, if I can make it, if I can get in front of the mic, I'll do a show with you, of course.
But they're like, meh, meh.
I said, don't bullshit me, Doc.
Well, you probably won't be feeling like you want to do a show.
Oh, they don't know.
That's the difference between a person who doesn't do, not ever had anything to do with the business, a broadcaster, a professional broadcaster.
That's the difference between a professional broadcaster and someone who hasn't got a clue.
And they don't have a clue.
You are probably going to be fine to do the show on Wednesday.
It's bone marrow transplant.
I'm getting open mouth surgery.
Well, the show would go like this.
You'd be talking to it.
What was that, Adam?
Oh, nothing.
And then they're biting, blah, blah, blah.
So he told me a story, because this is the whole point.
He said, if we take all your teeth out, he said, there's no guarantee how you're going to sound on the air.
So this was never an option to begin with.
And there's enough.
I have a lot of healthy teeth and teeth that just need to be maintained.
They'll be fine.
But, you know, talking about other people have this issue and so in the, I don't know if it was a direct colleague of his or maybe it's just one of those stories, but apparently Jon Bon Jovi, when he had his teeth done, he had an implant for every single tooth because he was so afraid of his Yeah, the kind that you drill into the... Well, I'm getting two of those in the top and two at the bottom, and then with a bridge with a snap in and stuff, but he hit it for every single tooth.
That was like a quarter million dollars for that guy's mouth.
But he sure didn't sliss or whistle.
So anyway, hopefully I can deduct some of this from my taxes, can't I?
I have no idea.
Ask a tax guy.
It's important for the show.
Well, I mean, it might be, but I still have to ask a tax guy.
My IRS doesn't like... As far as they're concerned, you can screw yourself.
My tax guy is your wife.
I'll talk to her.
No, she's a bookkeeper, not a tax guy.
She's my bookie, too.
Yeah, exactly.
So let's go to a couple Biden clips since we're on that before we go past them completely.
Yes, yes, please make sense.
This was a ramble that he was doing some zoom meeting or some damn thing.
There's a part of this that's incorporated into the song that we may play later.
And this is I just think this is funny because this is a classic Biden off script just trying to talk.
I hope, I can't quite see, I can't see in the front there, I think.
And I actually wish I could be there with you in person, you know what I mean?
You know, and I've had, and by the way, again, to add a little bit of a second here, I, you know, you're also, what people don't realize, you're the same folks who are there holding the boot in the corner to raise money for the people who just lost their home.
Not a joke.
That's what you do.
That's what you do.
You're the ones who line the little league fields.
You're the one... You're just... Anyway, you're an incredible group of individuals.
You know, in Delaware... So, what is he talking about?
What is the guy in the corner holding a boot?
No idea.
No idea.
So a guy in the corner, you're the guy in the corner holding a boot.
And then the guys who line the Little League.
I've been to Little League games.
I've never seen anyone lining the Little League field.
Are you trying to show us in a very tedious way that the president has no brain cells left?
Because we're with you.
So here we go with him, with Jake Tapper, who did probably the lamest interview ever of a president, got no ratings.
No ratings!
Really?
Zero?
Well, no, he didn't.
Well, he got no ratings.
It wasn't zero, but you know what I mean.
Yeah, yeah.
So here we go with this.
He's talking about numbers.
He's going to give us some numbers here that it's going to save the day.
Biden on wild numbers.
Oh, wild numbers.
I'm sorry, it's a different one.
Look, what I ran on, I said we're going to deal with energy.
Right.
And the energy problem, we're going to deal with the whole notion of global warming.
We passed $368 billion worth of help, which, as the same bankers talk about, is going to bring a trillion, $700 billion off the sidelines of investment.
That's right.
It's gonna be great.
Billions, trillions, zillions, millions.
Billions and trillions and zillions.
By the way, the end of show mix, we actually played that on episode 1492, and the reason we were able to play it, because it's by Socialist Mop, and Foley cleared it with him.
Foley knows him.
So we can play it again today.
I'd forgotten.
It's only two shows ago.
Well, Socialist Mop is the guy who did the Biden song.
And, um, we'll, I'm gonna, we'll talk about...
It's good that Foley somehow knows him, but the point is we want to play this song, which is the... What's the...?
My Mind's Going Blank Now.
My Mind's Going Blank Now song, which everyone's heard.
I am a little disappointed because the song's been out for a month.
It's only picked up a quarter of a million views at the Socialist Mop site, which is low.
What do you expect?
I'm expecting 12 million views on this thing.
Unrumble.
This is on YouTube.
I know, but on Rumble it's got more views, I'll bet you.
Food Watch is a rumble.
Okay, maybe.
But the thing is, Socialist Mop has done a series of these songs and he's finally hit a stride with this one.
Because the other ones he's done, and the best one of the group, he's only done five or six of these.
The best one of the group was the, and if you go to his site on YouTube, you'll see the one done by Bernie Sanders.
And this was more, I think, what he was trying to do with Bernie Sanders.
And he finally decided, this is too much work.
The Bernie one.
Oh, he's got big intros here.
Look at that.
Woo!
Socialist mop.
Oh, he's got a whole leader.
Cool.
Alright, here we go.
Senator Sanders, you call yourself a democratic socialist.
How can any kind of socialist win a general election in the United States?
Well, we're gonna win, because first we're gonna explain what democratic socialism is.
And what democratic socialism is about is saying, I want to ask you, I want to ask you, I will take this right off your back and let you have it.
You know, the thing is, though, it's always difficult.
Like this one, the Bernie Sanders one, if you don't have the lyrics on the screen, it's harder to hear.
You can barely understand him.
Chopping this stuff up and then making him say something he's not actually saying is tedious.
If you can do what he does with the Biden song, which is to take clips, long clips, where he's saying something and then songify it with very good editing, you have a hit there.
And my mind's going, is one of those.
We've had guys that do that on our show.
They don't do it as much as we'd like.
Anyway, before we play that, which will be at the end of the show, now that we've credited Socialist Mop, which is the thing, and I would promote his site, and I would hope that maybe he'd listen to the show and provide some stuff for us.
And we'll do more.
We'll do more.
Bring us more.
We'll do, we'll do, we'll introduce his songs if he wants.
Yeah, like a world video premiere.
I'll put on the Adam Curry wig and everything.
Exactly, exactly.
Leather jacket.
Hey everybody!
Yep, we'll do it.
So here's Biden trying to explain himself about Hunter.
This is really pathetic.
Our reporting, CNN reporting and the Washington Post reporting suggests the prosecutors think they could, they have enough to charge your son Hunter for tax crimes and a false statement about a gun purchase.
Personally and politically, how do you react to that?
Well, first of all, I'm proud of my son.
This is a kid who got, not a kid, he's a grown man.
He got hooked on, like many families that had happened, hooked on drugs.
He's overcome that.
He's established a new life.
He is, I'm confident that he is, what he says and does are consistent with what happens.
And for example, he wrote a book about his problems.
And it was straightforward about it.
I'm proud of him.
He came along and said, by the way, this thing about a gun, I didn't know anything about it, but turns out that when he made my application to purchase a gun, what happened was he said, I guess you get asked, I don't guess, you get asked the question, are you on drugs?
Do you use drugs?
He said no.
And he wrote about saying no in his book, so I have great confidence in my son.
I love him, and he's on a straight and narrow, and he has been for a couple years now, and I'm just so proud of him.
So here's, first of all, the application when you buy a gun, the form you fill out, have you ever used drugs?
Not, are you on drugs now?
No, this is why the marijuana licenses are problematic.
A problem.
So, the president is incorrect there, even though he's like, I know what's on there, it's like, are you on drugs right now?
No, that's not exactly the question.
Jonathan Turley wrote a, who I like, wrote a very good piece, calling it the 7% solution, how Hunter Biden allies are turning to addiction as a last line of defense, and he goes through a lot of cases Where accused come up with a, I was on drugs defense, and it works surprisingly well for a number of cases, very poorly in others, but that really depends on your political bent, I think.
So the idea here is throw it all on the drug charges, and he was on drugs, so he didn't know what he was doing.
And they completely forget about the deals in Ukraine and China and Moscow as well.
And the hookers and the movies and the rest of it.
Well, that's not illegal.
I mean, hookers, yeah, but depends where he had the hookers.
I mean, that's kind of... You almost think that he did all of this, Hunter Biden, subconsciously or, you know, with a genius crack mind.
It's like, man, I got to have something to distract from all this other crap.
Why else do you save these things?
I have no idea.
It's just incriminating.
And then drop it off.
It's like it's really a cry.
I think it's a cry for help.
I think he's asking for his father to be a father instead of being a crook.
I love you, kid.
Don't worry about it.
He's on the straight and narrow now.
Love you, kid.
With that, I'd like to thank you for your courage to say, in the morning, to you, the man who put the sea in the cyber pandemic today.
Please say hello to my friend on the other end, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. John C. Dvorak!
In the morning, hello!
Mr. Adam Curry, also in the morning, all ships at sea.
What's on the ground?
Feet in the air, subs in the water.
And all the dames and knights out there.
This is your No Agenda Show.
We are completely interactive.
We are bad.
We are nationwide.
We got all kinds of places people communicate and spit back at us, including the troll room.
Troll room, a lot of people being real nasty today.
You stepped on their toes.
They're still not over it.
They're saying all kinds of horrible things.
Strangely enough... Yeah, they're the ones who don't donate, but okay.
Strangely enough to me, which is always odd.
I don't know why they... Mad at you.
Yeah, you can handle it.
Let's see how many we have.
Hello, trolls!
1931 in the troll room today that means those are the a lot of people are listening to no agenda stream calm you can get the whole kit and caboodle troll room IO in a website or use a Funky fine brand new podcast app you get it from new podcast apps calm curio caster for your desktop and pod verse for your mobile And it will alert you when we go live to remind you.
It has its own special bat signal and you drop right into the troll room from there.
So it's fantastic, all these things we're doing.
You can also still sign up.
It's fantastic.
All these things we're doing is great.
It's great.
We've saved podcasting.
Believe me, we've saved it.
Except for the, like the Dan Bongino.
They're going to get kicked off of Apple and they'll think they're over and they won't know what they're doing.
We have noagendasocial.com, which is, there's still some slots available.
You can sign up at signup.noagendasocial.com.
We cap it at 10.
We're getting pretty close.
So if you want to, yes.
So you mentioned Dan Bongino.
Yeah.
Well, I'm going to mention Rachel Maddow.
Well, she's also on the list.
She started a podcast.
Have you heard her podcast?
No, no, this is your beat.
It started on the 10th of October.
She was going to do three episodes on the 10th.
She did an intro on the 10th, didn't do three episodes at all.
She did one episode later.
And then she did one more episode a couple of days later.
And her last version, the one she did, was not even her podcast.
It was It was Chris Hayes' podcast that she decided to put on her podcast pile.
Oh, a feed takeover.
She introduced the Chris Hayes podcast and said, I was on it, so I think this qualifies as a podcast.
Let's play it.
And so she is not, she has absolutely zero podcasting skills.
She's not, her podcast is going nowhere.
Well, no.
But that's weird, because isn't that what she wanted to do?
Wasn't that her whole thing?
Yeah, until she started to try to do it.
And her podcast, the one that she's trying to do, is more like serial.
Now, is it called the Rachel Maddow Presents?
No, no.
Rachel Maddow Ultra!
Yeah, it presents.
Ultra.
Yeah, this is it.
Okay, let's see.
Ultra.
Hold on a second.
Let's see what's going on with her.
Oh, the NBC chime.
Did you hear that?
It started with a photo.
A photo of guns on the front page of an old newspaper clipping from the year 1940.
Oh, you're right.
She's trying to do a true crime.
Yeah.
Oh, lame.
It is lame.
Well, we know what it cost.
Did you see I tagged you on that podcast producer?
Oh yeah, it cost millions.
Oh, man.
All right.
Well, not millions, but we do have lots of people to... Oh, actually, before we even go there, we need to thank the artist.
I'm sorry.
The art for episode 1493, which we titled Made in America.
A lot of people liked this.
We liked it as well.
This was... Oops, sorry.
This was the Scooby-Doo type dog.
With the atomic cloud.
I don't even remember why it was relevant.
Oh, it was Phoebe, of course.
Phoebe got all psyched out by your dog barks.
It was just a beautiful piece.
It was like a Scooby-Doo type vibe.
Sir Paul Couture did it.
Yeah, it was very slick.
It's a nice, everybody, I think just everybody said, wow, that's, that's kind of dynamite.
Even if you didn't know what the reference was, it was just a goofy looking dog.
It was fun.
What else do we have here?
We had the Royal Pricker from Capitalist Agenda, which I would say was our runner up kind of with the, that was the, uh, the sausage.
Do you remember that one?
Are you looking?
No.
No, I'm looking now.
I don't see the royal pricker.
Yeah, it's with the sausage, with two prickers.
Sausage walking around.
It's a walking sausage, John.
How can you miss it?
Walking sausage.
Oh yeah, the problem with that was it was too 40s looking.
It was too much white space, even though it was blue space, but it was too much white space.
A little bit too much of that.
I like the idea of the sausage with the crown and the two forks, but it may have been okay.
I kind of liked I mean, I like the dog the most, but I like the other dog.
I thought the stylized dog by Dame Kenny Ben was quite attractive.
It was a nice piece.
Sad dog story time.
Yeah, but see, the title of the piece makes the piece work.
If you don't know the title of the piece, then... Yeah, there's some elements.
I also like the dog with the 33, 45, 78s.
A little too small on the label there.
Remember, it's a very, very small space.
Oh yeah, the label was way too small.
Very, very small space.
That was also by Couture.
Yeah.
There were some clowns that didn't really work for us.
A dog whistle.
Yeah.
I mean, this one just jumped out.
I think we didn't have to discuss long.
No.
Well, we appreciate it, what all of the artists do, of course.
I'd say every single one of them is on noagendasocial.com and there's always a lively conversation before, during, and after the art choices and I can't say anything other than we really appreciate that.
It makes our show incredibly special.
It's something that almost no other podcast can do.
Can you imagine those million dollar podcasts?
They would cost two million.
If you had the amount of art that we get to choose from, if we had to hire all these people and, oh no, no, have them on retainer, screw it.
Too many meetings as well.
Meetings.
And they don't get offended, usually.
So, we hope that our critique helps them.
And of course, some of these beautiful... Publicly.
Just publicly.
Normally, it's one-on-one.
The art director telling the guy, you know, I don't like the blue, can you change it to green?
No, not even.
The art director and the assistant art director, I don't like that guy anyway.
You don't even hear that.
A lot of these will show up in No Agenda shop on t-shirts, hoodies, mugs, caps, which is then nicely shared with the artist and we get a donation from time to time as well.
No meetings, no contracts, 100% fun!
And now we thank our producers who come in as executives and associate executives for episode 1494.
Nice showing today.
A lot of people did understand your email, John.
I think it is apparent here.
As we start with Steve Meyer from Pacifica, California.
I don't know the significance of this number, but it's blowing me away.
$3,576.
Am I reading this correctly?
That's what it says.
Now, he sends this in, and I sent him a note.
And the note says, hey, thanks for this generous donation.
There's no note.
Can you sense, you know, you're just an instant baron.
As an instant baron, this has happened before.
We've had instant barons.
Please advise, I put.
And so he sends this note back.
I'll read this note.
He sends this note back and it just says, dialing is so hard.
Which I think he meant to say something else.
No karma.
I hate the skims off the value contribution.
I bumped for your taxes.
Thank you both, Steve.
And thank you, Steve.
You read my mind.
Taxes.
So, uh, okay.
Uh, and then he, you know, I'm sure we'll hear, hear from Steve again.
He's over here in Pacifica.
Yeah.
Uh, which is not far from here.
And, uh, okay.
Well, thanks a lot.
Big time, big time.
Now this next one is, uh, looks like an, an instant nighting from now Iñaki Esperanza Eloriaga.
Do you think I pronounced that right?
It's close, closer than I'd get.
From Ciudad de Mexico?
Yeah.
Okay.
A thousand dollars.
Saying, here it is, I saw the Dvorak signal illuminating the night sky, so I came to help out.
This is so appreciated.
Viva the value for value.
Greetings from Mexico City.
Now, Sir Nacho Alcatraz, with the very old-fashioned Spanish name.
No jingle.
I'm just here to support.
Well, gracias, senor.
Thank you very much.
Yeah, that's a very old-fashioned Spanish name.
I like it.
It's not, you know, Jose Alvarez, that's for sure.
Jason Mitchell is next.
I don't have a note from him.
I'll look again.
No, no one has a note from him.
And he came in with $1,000 from Peoria, Arizona, which I think was interesting.
So I'll take one more look.
But otherwise, we'll wait for him to let us know if he wants an instant night or what does he want.
Okay.
And thank you very much, Jason.
Now we go to our three- Oh, he gets a double, uh, double.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Yes, he does.
A double up.
That's right.
You've got karma.
Double up for you, sir.
Uh, then Amy Williams kicks off our 333.33s, our favorite executive producer amount.
She's in Metropolis, Illinois.
In the morning, gents, please de-douche my keeper!
You've been de-douched.
Happy 10 years, S-Supermanuel!
And you never had a fight.
He's been a dedicated listener and hit me in the mouth a while ago.
I formed a subscription while to my knowledge he remained a douchebag.
So I dedicate this 333.33 to him for all his patience and help.
So is that a switcheroo?
But she doesn't say it's a switcheroo.
She says it's a dedication too.
It's a long-distance dedication.
Okay.
Thank you for all you do.
Jobs, karma, and karma for all, please.
But most importantly, I would like to cordially invite the No Agenda community to join us for a fun-filled family weekend in Metropolis, Illinois, for the Christmas Barn Sale Trail.
Uh, okay.
Visit...
TheChristmasBarnSaleTrail.com for more information and a map.
Ah, very nice.
And thank you so much.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
Muta.
Karma.
I hope she pushes that over to the meeting site.
Yeah, have you looked at it?
No, I have not.
Have you?
Why don't you look at it while I credit Don Tommaso DiToronto, Mark Kettleby, Ontario executive producer for today's show, 333.33.
From Don Tommaso DiToronto saw the bat signal from JCD and laying the bait for PayPal to come after me.
No jingles, no karma.
The Christmas barn sale trail.
This is a nice... This is nice.
They have multiple barns that you can go check out.
This is a huge deal.
Okay, there needs to be a meet-up there.
That's like a two-day extravaganza.
There's no hyperbole, there's no joke.
Then we have John Bigelow from Glenview, Illinois, 333.33.
Also, no note from him.
Did you find anything from Mr. Bigelow?
No, I got nothing.
I just looked it up, as a matter of fact.
Bigelow, no.
Let us know if you got anything.
John, we'll give you the Double Up Karma.
You've got Double Up Karma.
Anonymous comes in from Louisville, Kentucky, 333.33.
Uh, ITM Comrades, I'm answering the call for donations.
Jingle one, boomer air horn, millennial air horn, there's a difference, and go podcasting.
Okay.
In short, love you mean it, no homo.
Keep up the great media deconstruction.
This donation brings me to knight status.
I request the title of serve foam finger number one.
FF number one.
For the round table, please lay out a northeast Ohio style clam bake and serve gold Yung Ling draft beer.
It's a Chinese beer, isn't it?
I'm not sure.
And foam cups.
It might be something from Wisconsin.
Uh, not necessarily read the following on the air, but I'd love to take your take of a show worthy.
I can't help but see Elon Musk as a modern day Howard Hughes, similar to Hughes, without the long fingernails.
Uh, show us that Musk is a showman and huckster that can misdirect the world with a simple proclamation.
Both seem to offer government projects a commercial and altruistic cover.
Yeah, well, that's for sure.
Okay.
I was thinking he's more like Kim Kardashian of tech, personally.
But that's just me.
Well, the way he makes money is very similar to Howard Hughes.
I think he has a point.
Here you go.
Air horn, air horn, air horn.
Is that the boomer air horn?
It must be.
Millennial air horn.
Whip, whip, whip.
Go podcasting.
That's all I got.
Sir Dom Nasty.
Long Beach, California.
3-33-33 in the morning.
Crackin' buzz.
This is a switcheroo going to my smokin' hot wife, Sean, of 25 years.
So, that will just be Sean.
I don't know if... Is her last name Dom Nasty?
Seems unlikely.
Sean will work.
Sean, okay.
We'll keep Sean in there as your switcheroo.
Can I get a D-bag for my friend Egon?
And a D-douching for myself?
You've been D-douched.
A John donate for donation karma and some Al Sharpton.
What exactly does...
John, donate for... What do you think that means?
Maybe it's a... Donate!
Is that?
Maybe?
Yeah, that one will work.
I'll do that one.
Okay.
The Arizona Democratic Party.
You've got... Donate!
Donate!
Donate!
Karma.
Ah, Sir David Brunetti.
Dana, David.
Dana Brunetti, our buddy.
No, from now on, he's David.
You did it.
Uh-oh.
Sir Dana Brunetti is our Hollywood producer, friend of the show.
We all know him well.
Did you say friend of the show?
Did you say friend of the show?
He's a friend of the show.
33033.
Yes, because he donates infrequently, but he lets himself be heard.
333.33 from Golden Cloud Ranch in state of Jefferson.
Yes.
We have a number of people that live in the state of Jefferson and they're happy.
Is that different from California?
Jefferson is the southern Oregon and northern most part of California.
Pretty much he's at the bottom of the state of Jefferson.
Got it.
And they want to be a state.
No joke.
No hyperbole.
He writes, When I'm driving my daughter, Estella, to and from school, she asks, Why do you listen to these guys?
Ann says things like, Do we have to listen to No Agenda again?
However, she knows all the jingles and sings along with them.
She recently asked if her birthday would be announced, but I forgot to send it in, so this is me doing a make-good for her 10th birthday last Sunday.
Dad, you kind of suck!
By the way, I don't know if she's on the list, because this is not in yellow.
Stella.
I will check while you continue.
Yes, Stella.
Stella.
Uh, she got a pony!
And now she gets a mention on the podcast that she questions me for listening to.
Estella!
Estella!
Uh, P.S.
I have no interest in replacing Adam, so stop asking, John!
Also, could you use...
Also could use another rain stick.
Last one worked, but not enough.
Oh.
We need a downpour here.
You're not getting one.
No, no, he is.
We need one, too.
We desperately need one.
Okay, then you want to do one?
Okay, no jiggles.
No karma, by the way, which we appreciate.
Yeah.
You want to do... Yeah.
We got to do massive, massive stick.
Okay.
You want to do a one, a two, a one and a half?
What do you want to do?
Two and a jiggle.
Two and a jiggle and a shake.
Two, a jiggle, and a shake.
You ready?
Does two mean one whole round?
Okay, let's go.
Yeah, one, two, three, go!
I'm pointing at the state of Jefferson and a jiggle.
Oh man, if that doesn't work...
Yeah, good luck.
Corpus Christi, be prepared.
You're on the tail end of that, the way I was pointing it.
So Fredericksburg will get beautiful rain.
Corpus Christi, you may witness some tsunami-like situations.
By the way, we are trained professionals in the art of rain stickery.
And do not attempt this at home.
Don't try to manufacture your own.
That could lead to very, very dangerous situations.
Again, we are trained professionals.
Thank you, Dame Sherry, for getting us these official sticks.
And thank you, Dana Brunetti.
And we've put Estella on the list, where she belongs, on a list.
She's on a list.
And we have Sir Mike in Georgetown, Texas, 333.33 in the morning.
Gents, quick boots on the ground report from visiting France and Eastern Europe last week.
Fuel and working electric vehicle charging stations are already scarce.
Nervous laughter was the norm.
Thank you for your courage.
You know...
I can't believe that.
The Dutch in vacation time, they kind of universally, you know, drive down to the south.
The Germans go to the Netherlands to take over the beaches.
The Dutch go down and take over France.
And there are people stranded going down or coming back because there's literally no more gas in the gas stations because of strikes and other things.
It's just the beginning of the fun.
Oh yeah.
That's Sir Mike of Georgetown.
Thank you.
Tyler Robinson's up next.
He's in Hobbs, New Mexico, 333.
Thanks for the needed deconstruction.
Now, more Al Sharpton jingles.

I'm just picking up everything I can out of the reverse.
I don't even remember that one.
It was yours, I think.
Yeah, he couldn't say a word.
Student-athletes retunely lose scholarships.
Retunely les.

You've been de-douched.
Also for the No Agenda Nation, we're announcing a Metal Spirits promotion for our t-shirts, vodka and rye whiskey.
20% off t-shirts and single bottles of vodka and whiskey and 30% off cases of both the vodka and whiskey.
Simply go to themetalspirits.com and enter promotion code ITM33 upon checkout.
This will run through Halloween.
This obviously is only limited to certain states, because some states you can't buy anything, you can't ship anything in, and there's other states, there's other states which are interesting because you can't do discounting.
They sent me a sample of one of their vodkas and one of their whiskeys and their t-shirts, which are pretty badass.
It's rye whiskey.
It's tasty.
It's really good.
Maybe I'll get a free sample myself, maybe.
Who said it was a free sample?
I didn't say it was free.
Simply go to metalspirits.com and enter promotion code ITM.
Okay.

We have Lynn Wigert, and she sends in a note for her $333 donation from Maplewood, Minnesota.
Very nice.
Kind of like this handwriting.
You know, it's casual, yet a little old school.
This donation is in recognition of my oldest human resource, Alex, who has now traveled around the sun 33 times, and his third human resource was born a few weeks ago.
So the donation is 3-3 plus 3 is 3-3-3.
We love it!
I asked him what jingles he wanted.
He said, no jingles, all the karma, short and sweet.
October 13th, 2022 birthday is on the list from Lynn Wigert, and we appreciate that.
We're going to throw in a goat for him here, Lynn.

Actually, this goes the other way around.
Okay, it's 432 Canadian, which is $300 American, which brings them to the... Holy crap, 432 Canadian, as he says, crap coins to make $300 dollars.
232 Canadian, as he says, crap coins to make $300.
Wow.
I've been a douchebag for over a decade.
Oh, by the way, Douglas Groves, Toronto.
I've been over a decade, I've been a douchebag.
So here's 300 bucks to fix things.
So I'll give him a de-douching.
You've been de-douched.
Just trying to help things with the PayPalpocalypse, as he put it.
Tom Miller is in Austin, Texas, our first associate executive producer, 256.01.
In the morning, John and Adam, please de-douche.
You've been de-douched.
I have been listening since Adam mentioned digital currency to a slightly sloshed Rogan.
I think we were both killed.
That was the first show.
No, that was the second show.
I thought the first one was.
No, the first one was out there.
That was a great show.
Thank you.
The second one is the first one I did in Austin.
That was, remember, the studio wasn't set up.
We didn't have headphones.
We got really high.
Oh yeah, that's the one I'm thinking of.
And then we had two more good ones.
I received my first order through K&C Cattle a while back.

Penny for the tip jar.
Oh, very nice.
People don't do that often enough anymore.
Where's my tip jar?
Where's my... Oh, there it is.
You dropped it on the floor.
Took me long, took me long enough.
No jingles, no karma.
Thanks.
Well, Tom, welcome to Texas.
Maybe you are Texan.
Yeah, welcome to woke UT.
Yeah, but he's going to have all that.
Do you have a freezer?
I'm curious.
You got a freezer in the dorm?
Anyway.

You know, we should ban that thing.
You brought it.
I know, I feel terrible now.
I didn't know it was part of the gear that everyone's got, that it was just a button you push.
If I'd known that, if I'd... because I don't use that stuff, I would have probably not done it.
Yeah.
Sam Reichman or Rickman from Peck, Minnesota?

You've got karma.
And that is our Associate Executive Producers and Executive Producers for show 1494.
There is some very strange activity on the freeway, some of which, the likes of which I have never seen in my life.
I heard the siren going off.
What's going on?
Okay, so this is the main Highway 80 artery.
You can see it from here.
And it's got a bunch of fire trucks lined up at an angle.
They're not just lined up on the freeway.
They're lined up at an angle.
There's only one row of cars being allowed through.
There's a...
At the very front there is a, see, a Highway Patrol van and then there's a, one of these hospital ambulances and then there's another bunch of these.
So they're at angles.
It's like, it's weird looking.
And there's a, there's some device.
I think there's a bomb or something here.
Hmm.
And, or something.
This is very unusual.
I couldn't get a photo of it.
Mr. D.C.
Vorax!
You're being swatted!
It's very strange.
There's just one, two, three, four, five fire trucks.
Just sitting there at this angle, blocking the road.
Well, that's probably the reason why.
Still, sirens going on.
I don't know.
We want to thank these executive and associate executive producers very much for their incredible generosity.
Thank you.
It's good to know that you value this product that we put out so highly.
I really, really appreciate it.
I know John does too, even though, you know, he calls you virtue signaler sometimes.
He doesn't mean it.
Sorry, it was my fault, my fault.
It was Adam's fault.
Should have caught him, should have called him out.
If you'd like to be one of these, which means you get this title, it's a forever title, wherever you go you can always say you were the executive or associate executive producer of episode 1494 of Not Just The Noah Jenner Show, is in fact the best podcast in the universe, fact.
And put that on just like a Dana Brunetti.
You can put it on IMDB, hang out with all the bigwigs.
Or put it on your LinkedIn, or your Twitter profile, or anywhere you want.
People will recognize it.
You will get admiration from young and old alike.
To learn more, go to our donation website.
And thank you to all our producers for bringing your time, your talent, and your treasure.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Shut up, Swayze.
Shut up, Swayze.
Yeah, it was okay.
All righty then.
And we're back, everybody.
I'm just totally fascinated by what's going on down there.
Um... Where?
Down with all the fire trucks and the, uh, one car that's been pulled over.
Yeah, but you know, but you know, it's like... Looks like it's carrying a... Let's just do our show.
You know what it looks like?
It looks like some guy hauling a barbecue.
An illegal barbecue.
Alright, let's go.
Alright.
Sorry.
Hey, there's some news that I've been tracking which may get some traction now.
It would be perfect timing.
It's the October surprise.
Who knows?
There are new fears of a freight railroad strike after one of the biggest track maintenance unions rejected a deal with the railroads last night.
A strike could cause major economic consequences.
Senior national correspondent Terry Moran is in Washington with the latest.
Good morning, Terry.
Good morning, George.
The workers have spoken and they have rejected the deal brokered by the Biden administration just last month and announced by the president himself in a Rose Garden ceremony.
57% of the workers in the nation's third largest freight rail union, that's the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way employees division of the Teamsters, said no to Biden's deal.
The president of that union declaring in a statement, railroaders do not feel valued.
The workers are demanding better working conditions.
In particular, they want an end to what they call draconian sick leave and attendance policies, which they say often force them to choose between taking care of themselves or their loved ones or risk losing their jobs.
Now, two more big unions, the engineers and conductors, are set to vote on this deal.
But there's already been a November 19th deadline set for a new deal.
And this morning, the White House is out with a statement saying, in part, the president remains focused on avoiding a shutdown and, quote, pledging to support the parties in their efforts.
The stakes here are so high.
If those efforts fail, the nation could see its first major rail strike in 30 years, right in the middle of the holiday season, dealing a devastating blow to the supply chain and to the economy as a whole.
Man, Terry, that would be really, really devastating.
Thank you for that.
Really, really?
Really, really.
So, hey, this thing is back off.
Well, when that thing first went down, as you recall, I was skeptical because the one thing that they didn't do was just fix the working conditions problem.
They gave them more money and the guy came out on one of these PBS or somewhere and said, oh, it was, oh, rah, rah, we did this, we did that.
And then it was like, what about the working conditions thing?
Well, you know, he's pretty much kind of taken care of, wasn't taken care of.
And so it was obvious that this could fall back into being a strike situation.
Biden jumped the gun.
He made assumptions, like with Ukraine.
He spiked the ball in the end zone before the point was made.
Yeah, he definitely spiked the ball.
Because if we go back... Probably irked this one group of, you know, once these union guys, the way they operate, when one of them gets all irked and they make a big stink and they say, we're not going to sign on to this.
What about you other unions?
Because there's about four unions involved.
And they'd listen to the argument.
Oh, yeah, you're right.
We got gypped.
And then they end up, which is the third time that the term gypped has been used on this show, I might add.
I used it first.
Yeah, twice.
Did I now?
Yeah.
Let's see, we had... Because Biden was pretty confident.
Wasn't that on a... He was interviewed by... Who was he interviewed by?
Pelly, maybe?
Yeah, here it is.
The hero.
The hero.
President, you have just averted a nationwide railroad strike that would have been crippling to the economy.
How did you do that?
And what were those last hours like in the negotiations?
Well, look...
We brought business and labor together.
One of the things that happens in negotiations, particularly if they've been elongated like these have, is people say and do things where their pride gets engaged as well.
And it's awful hard to back off of some of these things.
So what we did was just say, look, let's take a look.
Let's take a look at what's happening.
You have a good deal being made for labor.
Their income is going to go up 24% over the next five years.
They've worked out the health care piece.
They worked out days off.
They both sat down, in my view, and they were in the office today saying, well, we finally figured it out.
This is fair on both sides.
And it took that time to focus.
And the alternative was just not thinkable.
What do you mean?
If, in fact, they had gone on strike, the supply chains in this country would have come to a screeching halt.
We would have seen a real economic crisis.
I think that these unions, that they're looking at Europe going, they got the right idea.
Like France.
We got the right idea.
Let's get ours.
Everyone's getting theirs.
There's no difference between the stealing at the top, all the way from the Biden crime family, all the way down to the smashing grabs in the luxury shops, and supermarket mayhem.
Because the leaders are corrupt, and so everyone in the middle, you know, we're going to get ours too.
Screw it.
We're trained guys.
We don't care.
We want more.
This is how we go down.
Well, this sort of strike is nothing new in the history of the country.
The timing is inconvenient.
The timing is really designed right after midterm elections.
It's inconvenient for some.
Yeah, it's bad.
I mean, don't you think that there are forces at work?
You're right.
The clip you played was him spiking the ball.
Don't you think there are forces at work here?
On that, and perhaps this little ditty.
We will take action.
A vague warning from President Biden about consequences for a global oil giant.
We're going to react to Saudi Arabia.
But that wasn't specific enough for some Senate Democrats.
We can't take this sitting down.
They're pushing him to freeze arms sales to Saudi Arabia or pull all U.S.
troops out of the country.
Now this is great, because every No Agenda producer knows you can't mess with the weapons sales.
This is a non-starter.
So what are these people thinking?
After the Saudis and other oil-producing nations, known as OPEC+, chose to cut worldwide oil production by about 2%.
The move could push gas prices back up and boost Russia's oil revenue.
They are helping and aligning with a murderous, brutal, War criminal Vladimir Putin.
White House officials have lobbied OPEC nations not to cut back.
And President Biden himself traveled to Saudi Arabia this summer, even fist-bumping Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, despite his role in the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi.
Saudi Arabia is our second most important security.
There's our buddy, there's morale.
Partner in the Middle East after Israel.
CBS News Senior Security Contributor Michael Morrell says many of the potential punishments come with downsides.
Denying arms sales to Saudi Arabia not only hurts U.S.
firms selling those weapons, but it also hurts the security of the region because we want the Saudis to have American weapons.
They want to have American weapons because if we ever have to fight Iran together, we want those weapon systems to complement each other.
The president said today he wants to consult with Congress before imposing any consequences on Saudi Arabia.
And it's a delicate situation because any rift in the U.S.-Saudi relationship could rattle oil markets and drive prices up, Nora, just one month before the midterm elections.
Oh, there it is!
Midterm elections!
October surprise!
I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but Trump has a pretty good relationship with the Saudis.
Yeah, it was reasonable.
He had a good relationship with Putin, too.
It was reasonable.
And it was professional, seemed like.
I mean, there was a little buddy-buddy, maybe chummy.
Well, don't you think there could have been a little buddy-buddy, like, hey, wink-wink, nudge-nudge?
Well, I was looking over the tapes of the visit that Biden made to, and some of the shots that they had of Biden visiting with the Saudi guy, bin Salman.
Yeah.
And Ben Solman had a really displeased look on his face.
I mean, he was wearing it.
And he did not like Joe Biden.
And I think this may well be done for a purpose, which is to hurt Biden.
And then Biden comes back with this arms thing.
That's not going to fly.
With Lockheed Martin putting up with that?
Hey, we supported you, Joe.
Yeah, that's not happening.
But also, it turns out that this cut might be a bit of a farce as well.
Here's Bloomberg.
Bob Iorgo can talk to us about energy.
He joins us now.
Energy futures senior strategist and executive director at Mizzou.
Bob, you said you're not a big believer in the OPEC plus two million barrel production cut.
What do you mean by that?
Well, I think they will see only about 1 to 1.1, 1.2 million barrels of cuts that are actually made in this OPEC production cut deal.
You'll see Saudi Arabia cut.
They're good for the word.
United Arab Emirates, same thing.
But there's a lot of folks in a lot of countries in OPEC that are underproducing for size.
They're not going to cut production further.
Russia is basically around 1.3 below the existing quota going into the OPEC meeting.
Nigeria was about 800,000 barrels below.
Angola was 400,000 barrels below.
They're not going to cut any further.
And a lot of the other participating countries are happy just to stay where they were.
They're not going to go out and pull back on production today.
They're just going to do their best to stay where they are.
They're struggling to be where they are.
So I would expect to see the Saudis cut.
I expect to see the UAE cut for about 1.1 million barrels.
All right, that's a little different.
Yeah, I'd say.
Kind of interesting.
Of course, it really brings back the oil independence argument, which is, you know, Biden's not into because he's the green guy.
He just wants the gas price to be lower.
He doesn't care about anything else.
And he doesn't care about anything.
The man is a plant.
Stop.
Nobody cares.
Okay, so I do want to do one final report on what I think I'm seeing here on the freeway with the five fire trucks.
Okay.
Most of them left.
It's a Tesla that flipped over.
Ah, it's burning out of control.
No, it's not burning.
It never caught on fire, but I think this was just cautionary.
They just finally flipped it normally.
I'm pretty sure it's a Tesla, whatever it was.
On four wheels now, and they're gonna tow it off and everyone's leaving.
So that was the end of it.
Thank you for this report.
Yeah, this is stupid.
You know, Teslas in particular are so fast that people don't know how to drive a fast car.
Yeah.
And they flip them.
Well, there's lots of big oil gasoline news in your neck of the woods, particularly around the gas price.
Your governor has solutions.
Edie, the battle between Governor Newsom's administration and big oil companies continues.
Governor Gavin Newsom announced he's ordering a special legislative session after the election.
And it's time to get serious.
I'm sick of this.
Governor Gavin Newsom announcing he's calling state lawmakers back for business at the state capitol December 5th.
Newsom wants them to pass a new windfall profits tax on oil companies Money collected from that tax would go back to consumers.
This comes as Newsom's administration has said the difference between national and state gas prices, plus the cost of crude oil versus gas, is not adding up in California.
They don't care about you.
Any of you.
OPEC Plus does not care about you.
They don't.
They don't care about the environment.
They don't care about your kids and grandkids.
It's all about short-term profits, extracting money from people that are in a time of stress and high inflation.
I think that's pretty damn disgraceful.
And the question is for all of us, which side are we on?
So why December 5th?
Newsom says, first, this logistically makes it easy because lawmakers were already scheduled to come back for just that day to swear in new members after the election.
Second, he says his office wants to spend time on the proposal to make sure it's legally solid.
He's anticipating legal action from oil companies on this.
Newsom would not say if the upcoming election played a role in his decision.
For the price spike, oil companies have pointed to supply and demand issues, plus state restrictions that have made it harder to refine oil and import gasoline.
In a statement, the Western States Petroleum Association said, if this was anything other than a political stunt, the governor would not wait two months and would call the special session now before the election.
There's a mess there, man.
Your high prices are because of the idiots running your state, it seems.
I don't know how he can legally do what he claims to be able to do.
For one thing, none of these companies are California-based anymore.
They used to be.
I think Chevron's back east somewhere, and Union Oil doesn't exist, and it's Phillips, which is in the Midwest.
I believe it's Texas.
I don't know.
I have no idea.
He's just grandstanding the way I see it.
Sure.
And it's Biden's fault, or Putin's price hike, one of the two.
There's a report from TASS, which of course will be Russian misinformation.
They're saying that Russia is ready, willing and able to use Nord Stream 2 for gas supplies.
I guess that didn't get blowed up.
This blowed up story is very sketchy.
It's falling apart.
Yes, it's getting sketchier with the minute.
Now the Brits are implicated.
Oh, the Brits are implicated in everything, it turns out.
They had a huge scheme afoot.
I don't have any clips about this, but if you read enough, you'll run into it.
The Brits' MI6 was involved in planning the bridge explosion.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
It's great.
Although Russia did, they did arrest some people, some Russian nationals and Ukrainian nationals.
But they say it was... So the bridge?
Yeah, they say it was conducted by the Brits.
I love it.
Now, speaking of the Brits, and props to DH Unplugged, I love the title of the last show, Dvorak's Prophecy.
I looked at the title, I knew exactly what it was because you've always said, the big crash, and you've been saying this since after 2008.
I've been saying it too long.
Yeah, you've been saying, when the bond market goes, that's when it all goes.
And it looks like we're kind of getting there.
This is Market Watch headline.
The stock market is in trouble.
That's because the bond market is very close to a crash.
Market Watch.
That's kind of mainstreaming now.
But what happened in the UK, I find is fascinating.
The way the story goes is Lystras, the new Prime Minister, came in.
She was jammed in.
They cut out Boris for partying too hard and lying about it and telling the rest of the people what to do.
But he got railroaded.
She then comes out with the most asinine, crazy, with her Quasi-Cartana, the new Chancellor of the Exchequer.
That would be the Secretary of the Treasury.
And they come up with these tax cuts, which I mean, even I know, just with my limited knowledge, that doesn't make sense in the current environment.
So the pound drops like a rock.
Everybody's freaking out.
It's great.
But it hasn't stopped.
And so now the Bank of England is like, hey, because the pension funds, I guess, they buy into these bonds, but they also leverage on the bonds, so they're getting margin calls.
This is people's future income, the pension, so they have until tomorrow to fix this.
But what's interesting, both the BBC, in a written article, but also in this CNBC clip, They kind of say, well, you know, this really wasn't the fault of Liz Truss and Quasi Cartanga with their stupid idea.
It sounds like that was the cover-up for something that was destined to happen.
Here's CNBC with a little panel.
Dow lost nearly all of a 400-plus point gain to end basically flat.
The move comes after Governor Andrew Bailey urged pension funds to rebalance quickly, saying, quote, my message is you've got three days left now.
You've got to get this done.
He added, quote, the essence of financial stability is that intervention is temporary.
It's not prolonged.
So.
What's your take on this deadline and the market's reaction to these very dire words, Tim?
Look, the minute you start talking about bailing out UK pension funds and that there's an organized central bank intervention that wasn't about a central bank losing its resolve, this wasn't about central banks running back in and that, you know, look, a lot of people thought that this was the case.
How could they be buying bonds while they're cranking up their budget and making things look a lot more difficult for their currency?
But that's as a function of those things.
They refer to the fire sale dynamics that they were in there to defend.
So what seemed like last week it was just the central bank trying to put some order after the Prime Minister went in there, when in fact this is really the culmination of months A volatility in gilts and in the UK, but in sovereign debt around the world.
We talk all the time on this show about the most liquid asset classes, but those that are the most levered.
So again, you want to talk about too big to fail.
I mean, UK pension funds effectively are that to the UK.
Nothing like your central bank governor basically calling out to the world that you're scrambling and you're trying to sell positions that you have margin calls on.
Not so good.
And it doesn't get better from here.
And again, we're talking about We're now using those acronyms again.
CLOs.
We're talking about the collateralized leverage obligation market, which is a trillion in size.
And today was a very big headline and on some level, a new leg to this journey that we've been in with markets over the last 15 months.
Financial fear porn.
Did you hear him say, like, this has been really going on for a long time.
It wasn't just trust.
That might have been a smokescreen.
Yeah, I believe that's probably true.
I think it was a smokescreen, maybe.
And, you know, they don't like her and they're going to probably blame her for a lot of stuff.
Of course, and she deserves to.
She's an idiot.
She's no good.
She's no good.
Everyone knows it.
She's no good.
She's no good.
I just want to play a classic clip so we all remember how central banks work.
This is Ben Bernanke.
He was the chair of the Fed, a very famous Fed chair.
25 seconds.
Yeah, Nobel Prize winner.
He's just reminding everybody how it works.
Is that tax money that the Fed is spending?
It's not tax money.
The banks have accounts with the Fed much the same way that you have an account in a commercial bank.
So to lend to a bank, we simply use the computer to mark up the size of the account that they have with the Fed.
So it's much more akin, although not exactly the same, but it's much more akin to printing money than it is to borrowing.
You've been printing money.
Well, effectively.
So we have a number of big takedowns this week.
The first, I'll start with Kanye.
That's a good callback.
Always got to remind everybody how it really works.
Oh, goodness, people.
We punch a couple numbers in the computer, and boom, you're good to go.
So we have a number of big takedowns this week.
The first, I'll start with Kanye.
I see you have some AJ stuff, so that's good.
Yay.
Yay.
Yeah, so yay made a boobie.
Yay made a booboo, and he tweeted something that was really on his mind, which was, uh, Hey man, the Jews are screwing me!
I think that's not the exact quote.
That's the way everyone took it.
It's not the exact quote.
And to the degree where he got his company and everything got thrown out of J.P.
Morgan Chase Bank.
Sorry, man.
Oh, I didn't know that part.
Yeah.
Oh, they sent a whole note, which he scanned.
Dear Ye.
Hey, dear Ye.
What is it?
Where is this darn note?
Now that basically he has until the end of November 21st.
Here it is.
We are sending this letter to confirm our recent discussion with Redacted, someone who works, that JPMorgan Chase has decided to end its banking relationship with Yeezy LLC and its affiliated entities.
Oh yeah, he got kicked out.
And I would like to give everyone a reference point.
MOFAC's episode number 76, I put a link in the show notes, from Mo's perspective, explains the tension between American blacks and American Jews.
And it's interesting to hear that, at least from a black man's perspective.
Cliff Notes, they both kind of started out around the same timeline at the bottom of the totem pole and that's where the rivalry started.
And so there's a huge distrust between the two because they both were kind of treated the same in the 40s.
So that's something to go listen to if you want to know why there's this tension between these two groups.
But the big number was Alex Jones with the clear message to conspiracy theorists that if you lie or anybody who wants to say anything, you're going to go down for a bit.
And I doubt this will be the final number or if they'll wind up paying anything, but the headlines clearly scream, Podcaster must pay $1 billion.
I'm telling you.
You know, the funny thing is, he was a radio guy for a long time.
He is, in my opinion, insofar as the definition of podcasting, and I'm as close as I can get to the guy who invented it... Pretty close.
This is not a podcast.
He's never done a podcast.
Well, let me play from you the opening of the Pod News Daily podcast.
Find almost a million dollars, the latest from our daily newsletter at podnews.net.
First, I've got a favor to ask you.
Can you help Podny?
Crap, that's too bad.
Anyway, the headline is Podcaster.
So the podcast news describes him as a podcaster who had to pay a billion bucks.
It's subtle, but it's... regardless, it's there.
Well, I have some clips explaining it.
Let's start with clip number one.
From NPR, our national treasure.
I believe so.
A Connecticut jury has ordered Alex Jones and Free Speech Systems, the parent company of his InfoWars website, to pay nearly a billion dollars to aid... Stop, stop, we started over.
Of course it's NPR.
Note the intonation of disdain.
Oh yeah.
It's palpable.
Yep.
Okay, start over.
You know why?
Because he's ruining podcasting, man.
A Connecticut jury has ordered Alex Jones and Free Speech Systems, the parent company of his InfoWars website, to pay nearly a billion dollars to eight families of children shot to death at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Damages in the defamation case were also awarded to a former FBI agent who responded that day.
Frankie Graziano of Connecticut Public Radio has been covering the trial.
And Frankie, this is a huge number.
I understand it actually may go higher.
Remind us, what were the jurors considering exactly?
$965 million, Sasha.
And what these are are compensatory damages.
They basically had to come up with two damage figures, one defamation per se and emotional distress compensatory damages to 15 plaintiffs involved in the lawsuit.
What was Jones found liable for?
This is for defamation.
You'll remember that in the Sandy Hook shooting in December 14th of 2012, 20 children were killed and 6 adults were killed.
Literally, like 3 hours after the shooting, Alex Jones is on his InfoWars show pointing to the shooting as being staged.
And a lot resulted from that and how the families were treated.
The plaintiff during the trial talked about shutting down Facebook pages, memorializing loved ones as the attacks came in.
One plaintiff named Erica Laverty says a letter threatening rape came to her house.
The family of a teacher killed in the shooting says a troll harassed them at a Memorial 5K event.
I just want to say, you know, when you release anything in audio on an RSS feed, it's a podcast.
Just so you know, they removed his podcast from Apple and Spotify, so it is a podcast.
Okay.
Just saying.
But it's like, to me, it's repurposed.
I mean, anything can be a podcast.
They put half the shows on NPR, on RSS feeds, and then they're on the Apple site.
But to me, those aren't genuine podcasts.
They're repurposed other things.
Okay.
So you could call everything a podcast if you drop an RSS feed.
You know what the thing is?
The weird thing is, I'm actually allowed to determine that.
So you're wrong.
Sorry, you're just wrong.
You can say whatever you want to me about my being wrong, but I think I'm close enough to the guy who invented it.
It's like the problem that the Muslims have with the Shias versus the Sunnis, where they have, you know, different ways of saying, well, you know, I was there and that way I see it.
And so they have this big debate that's never ended.
So I'm going to stick with my position.
All right, keep it going.
Keep it going.
You can always discuss that with your new co-host Dana Brunetti.
Dana Brunetti will be here helping me out.
So let's go.
Frankie, you were in court for most of this trial, so you heard Jones defend himself, or try to defend himself.
How did he do that?
It's interesting.
He was in the court a lot, and he got maligned for this by the plaintiffs, but he was outside the courthouse a lot in the opening days of the trial.
He never really sat in court until he did his testimony a few days into the trial.
When he was there, he had a contentious fight with the plaintiffs, even calling the plaintiff's attorney, Chris Maddy, an ambulance chaser.
And then he didn't come back, even though he was supposed to testify as a defense witness.
The defense didn't call any witnesses.
They just played tape of Jones talking during their closing statement.
And it sounds like he's going to appeal this.
They were kind of alluding that throughout the trial, the attorney for Alex Jones saying the fix was in.
But on the other side, it's been a long journey for the families.
They reacted to this.
One person in particular, Robbie Parker, the day after the shooting was being attacked by conspiracy theorists, dissected for the way he acted, crying and memorializing his daughter in a video statement.
He said today that it was his attorneys that gave him the strength to fight back.
I let my voice be taken away from me and my power be taken away from me at the expense of my daughter and at the expense of my family.
Frankie, is a billion dollars just a symbolic victory and are these families likely to see fewer any dollars or will Jones really be able to pay this?
You know, the families say that they're going to enforce this verdict.
The attorney, Chris Maddy, says that he's going to go into Texas bankruptcy court and they're saying that they're now significant creditors to Jones and InfoWars.
And they say that they'll pursue it locally if they have to as well.
So a couple things about that report.
One, we also remarked, as did the entire world, at the very odd behavior of Robbie Parker at the time.
If you remember, he was the dad that was laughing and hooting it up.
He was yucking it up.
He got real serious.
Once the cameras were rolling, but he didn't know that, and he flipped a switch and went from yucking it up to crying.
That was weird.
That clip was everywhere on the internet.
That was weird.
It was everywhere.
So the question here, I think people need to understand that this is not US law that is fining him a billion dollars for lying.
This is tort law, correct?
I think it's a civil suit.
Okay, so what is the mechanism of this legality?
It's a civil suit, so he's not going to go to jail.
It's a straight defamation suit.
In other words, it's like a libel suit or a slander suit or any of those sorts of things, and it's done as a civil case.
It's not like a misdemeanor or a felony.
So that's the same thing OJ got when he's living free in Florida and hasn't paid a dime, as far as I understand.
Because he lost in his civil suit, right?
Yeah, he lost a wrongful death.
That's a different kind of civil suit than slander, libel, defamation, which is what this is.
And yeah, I don't know what to say.
So a billion dollars and 975 million.
I mean, obviously he can't pay that.
Yeah, I don't know what to say.
No, but I'm just...
So a billion dollars and 975 million.
I mean, obviously he can't pay that.
So what is the point?
Well, that's what I was asked in there.
Is he going to...
They can still go after whatever assets he has in that bankruptcy situation, because there's a bankruptcy process going on, I think.
And they can attach his wages for the rest of his life, and they can get money.
Up to a billion, but nobody knows if they're going to get a nickel.
A lot of it is just important.
Well, for one thing, it ruins Jones.
Well, no, I don't think so.
He says he's stronger than ever.
Well, it could be.
We'll find out.
I'm sure it's depressing to lose a case like this.
Hold on, there's a clip from... I did the last of these.
No, I know.
I know you do.
This is a clip from... What is this?
Oh, no, that's old.
Okay, never mind.
Yes, last one, NPR.
So they may try to come up with the money.
And explain why the dollar amount may get even higher.
Yes, $965 million in compensatory damages, plus punitive damages.
In Connecticut, common law punitive damage is usually capped to just attorney fees and expenses.
But because of a local unfair trade practices, Jones was found to have violated, that number could go up.
The judge could really enforce whatever punitive damage number she wants.
Frankie, thank you for covering this.
I'm sure it was hard to watch.
We've been speaking with reporter Frankie Graziano from outside the courthouse in Waterbury, Connecticut.
Thank you.
I'm sure it was hard to watch.
It was hard to watch.
Yeah.
I don't know what the punitive thing is going to amount to.
Well, that's just more money that he doesn't have or can't pay.
I mean, that's why you have an LLC, though, right?
I mean, you can sue all you want, but there's only so much he has.
Yeah, good lawyers can circumvent the LLC, take his car kind of thing.
It's a rough go.
Something you don't want to have happen.
He may have been a little cavalier.
Misguided.
He's a misguided cavalier.
It was virtue signaling.
This is a message.
If you are labeled a conspiracy theorist, you're in this league.
That's it.
That's the message.
Shut up.
It's not a good label.
No, shut up.
Oh, back to racism for a second.
This whole Los Angeles City Council has been a phenomenon.
Oh, I love this.
Do you have a copy of the tape?
I have a news story.
Tonight, Nuri Martinez faces a crisis of her own making.
Her political career in tatters.
The first Latina chosen to lead LA City Council caught on tape making insulting racist remarks last year.
On tape obtained by the LA Times, the Democrat talks about the city's Koreatown.
And she insults the black child of Mike Bonin, a white city council member.
In Spanish, she says, He's like a little monkey.
This recording leaked over the weekend.
Within hours, Martinez apologized.
I hold myself accountable for these comments.
For that, I am sorry.
Not good enough for dozens of protesters converging on her home.
They want her gone.
Off the city council altogether, not just as president.
This is a moment for us to draw a hard line in the sand.
Mike Bonin, the father of the child Martinez insulted, said he's disgusted that Nuri Martinez attacked our son with horrific racist slurs.
It's vile, abhorrent, and utterly disgraceful.
She is unfit for public office.
We're appalled that these people claim to represent us.
They don't represent us.
You know, she also had some choice things to say about Asians and Jews, but of course that's not on the news.
That would be too tall.
Well, they also don't mention the other two people that were involved, all three of them, Latinx, or we should use the term.
They're all Mexican-Americans.
But there's, this has been going on in LA in particular, the Mexican, you know, you're talking about your Jews and the blacks having their, their, their back and forth.
Oh yeah.
Uh, the Mexicans and the blacks in Los Angeles is massive racist, uh, goings on.
Not just in Los Angeles.
That the whites can just step back and say, we got nothing to do with this.
Yeah.
It's pretty crazy.
And, but she, and she was the golden girl, this one.
And she was just, you know, there, it's just, The way it is.
It's a very funny situation to me.
What I love was Karina Abdul Jean-Pierre Van Damme's response to this.
I don't know if you saw that.
If not, luckily I have a clip.
The president has condemned racism many times since taking office.
I wonder if he's followed the situation on the Los Angeles City Council with Nury Martinez and the leaked recording of her using racist remarks to describe a colleague's black son.
She said today she's taking a leave of absence, but there are others, Senator Padilla, Mayor Garcetti, who have called for her resign.
Has the President followed this?
Does he have a reaction to what's going on?
Please follow this.
Spoke to him about it yesterday.
Look, the president is glad to see that one of the participants in that conversation has resigned, but they all should.
He believes that they all should resign.
The language that was used and tolerated during that conversation was unacceptable and it was appalling.
They should all step down.
And here's the difference between Democrats and MAGA Republicans.
When a Democrat says something racist or anti-Semitic, we hold them, we hold Democrats accountable.
When a MAGA Republican says something racist or anti-Semitic, they are embraced by cheering crowds and become celebrated and sought after endorsements.
Senator Tuberville, let's not forget this just happened, saying black people commit crimes.
Doug Mastriano attacking his opponent in Pennsylvania governor's race for sending his children to a Jewish day school.
The president used to say, and I quote the president right now, Quote, hate never goes away, it only hides.
But lately, it's just one in the open at these extreme MAGA rallies.
It's just out, pardon me, it's just out in the open at these extreme MAGA rallies, end quote.
Mm-hmm.
Wow.
Pretty good, huh?
So she's equating someone going to a Jewish private school Because somebody called.
The reason it was called out is because it's like you're a big talker about public schools, but you're sending your kid to a private school, Jewish or not.
That was beside the point.
But she's making that look like some sort of anti-Semitic thing.
And the other one was somebody, somebody said that blacks commit crimes.
Oh, no.
Wow.
She is.
You know, this woman is sick.
So there's a new, it's called the Council for Responsible Social Media, a new cross-partisan group of leaders addressing the negative mental, civic, and public health impacts of social media in America.
All of this comes down, there's a couple of groups who are now working on this.
And I suspect They were very... Anti-Defamation League, that's one of them.
But this Council for Responsible Social Media is funded by an old favorite of the show, Pierre Omidyar.
And he's created a... Drive My Car.
Pierre Drive My Car career.
So listen to the people in this council.
Dick Gephardt.
Who is a former congressman.
Kerry Healy, former lieutenant governor of Massachusetts and president of the Milkins Institute.
Francis Hogan, the whistleblower.
So, now whistleblowers are now, they get put on councils.
Chuck Hagel.
Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, Leon Panetta, another Secretary of Defense and CIA hack.
He's the guy that's keeping an eye on things.
Claire McCaskill.
Oh, God, the idiot.
And Mike Rogers, former NSA.
Well, he's a good guy.
If he's the former head of NSA or Mike Rogers, the guy who was on the committee.
No, I think it's the asshole Mike Rogers.
The asshole Mike Rogers was the guy that was on the committee overseeing the NSA.
There's two Mike Rogers.
Yeah, I think you're right.
It might be Admiral Mike Rogers.
Well, Admiral Mike Rogers is the guy who tipped off Trump about the bull crap wiretapping and they forced him out of the NSA.
Oh, so he's the token good guy.
He's a token good guy, but maybe he's there to counteract Panetta, who's going to be looking at the thing from an intelligence perspective.
So there's strategies and tools?
No, I have it here for you.
It is at the Admiral, Mike Rogers.
They will be an advocate for key policies and legislation with the Biden administration.
They will publicly pressure social media platforms to make meaningful platform and internal governance changes.
Serve as a resource for the media, providing bipartisan insights.
See, that's why these guys are on the council.
Information and quotes.
The Council will appoint reporters and producers to academics, advocates, other stakeholders who have bipartisan or nonpartisan credibility.
I like the Linger Foundation.
They do the exact same thing.
Of course.
Yep, exactly.
And develop and... They'll have you some guys to write some scripts for you, too.
And develop and strategically distribute powerful written and video content about the harms caused by social media.
That's beautiful.
This is why we have the Mastodon people.
I'm going to 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.
In the morning.
What we don't have is the drinking club.
Which is what that is.
Yeah.
Martin Bennis is at the top of the list.
He's in Kennesaw, Georgia.
$199.99.
I don't know why he wouldn't put the extra penny in to move up to Associate Executive Producer.
I'm not going to force it on him.
Doesn't matter.
We appreciate it.
We'll just keep winning the bands for him.
Keep winning the bands.

Add to reports.
We got a written millennial meetup report.
And this was from Alex who says, just want to send along a brief written note from the Shawagunk Ridge meetup from this past Sunday.
We had a swell meeting.
Swell!
With four trusty producers showing up, sadly our host Justin was pulled into a last-minute catering job, but his dad Sal was there to regale us with tales.
Also, Sal is a huge supporter of the term limits movement and even provided bumper stickers.
He was a great host.
Two mainstays of the group, Steve and Todd, were in attendance, as well as a newcomer, Tim.
Conversations were great and ranged all the way from New Age religion taking control It was a blast!
I bet it was.
I'll make this my plea to all Hudson Valley Catskill Area Producers to join us next time.
and act laws and court proceeding, symbolism and advertising, farming, ranch and tech.
It was a blast.
I bet it was.
I'll make this my plea to all Hudson Valley Catskill area producers.
Join us next time.
It's like a party.
Now to Traverse City.
This is Sir Walkman of the Traverse City Meetup Report.
Poor Traverse.
Some say Traverse City is the Napa Valley east of the Mississippi.
Others say there's a spook within our midst.
All we know is it's called a meetup.
In the morning!
Hey Adam, this is Dan checking in from Traverse City.
Please use one of your shit quotas on me.
Thank you.
In the morning, guys.
Jack here, an artist, not a douchebag.
This is Don.
I'm just here for the hooey-hooey.
Hi, I'm Zach.
My dad made me do it.
Yes.

Always.
Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
You want to be where you want me.
Triggered or hell flame.
You want to be where everybody feels the same.
It's like a party.
Always.
Always like a party.
All right.
ISO World.
Yes I have four.
Alright, let me do my... Well, we always do mine first.
No, no, you start.
I started last time you did this.
I started last time.
No.
You gonna make me check this?
Alright, since I started last time... Vote Democrat!
No, it's just a weird one.
Nothing like Trump saying that.
I think this one is maybe better.
You will eat the bugs and own the nothing.
Alright, I got four.
Here we go.
Let's start with cheese.
That is too much cheese.
Okay.
Let's go with clean.
Oh, that was clean.
Man, this is so boomy and roomy.
It's not direct.
I like them.
Go with horse.
You guys shaving a horse?
You guys shaving a horse?
Saving or shaving a horse?
Shaving.
What were you listening to?
What stupid millennial chick podcast was this?
One of our producers sent me this screwball woman who all she does is make comments on stuff that she watches.
And I got joke.
Not a joke.
Wait, I think we can do a combo.
Hold on a second.
Here's my combo suggestion.
It's not a must, but I think... Vote Democrat.
Not a joke.
It works for me.
Okay, we'll do those two.
And they're still under the second, I think.
Oh, yeah.
It's two combined.
It's okay.
We can handle it.
The affiliates say it's okay.
We're good to go.
I did want to bring up one thing which was concerning to me.
A headline from Deutsche Welle.
Japan's national sport sumo may be on the ropes.
Japan's ancient sport might lose its fans if sumo wrestlers continue to show disappointing performances in the ring.
Since we happen to have a resident expert on all things sumo.
I had mentioned this twice on the show, that the last tournament... Sucked.
Sucked.
And I think everybody knows that the tournament before that and the ones previous were okay, the one before it was fine.
The problem right now is that they haven't got enough quality Ozekis, and one Yokozuna, they should have a couple of those, usually they do.
It's...
Yeah.
So it's on the ropes.
People love sumo so much.
That's nonsense.
The report is bullcrap.
People are put up with lousy sumo.
It's Deutsche Welle.
I mean, the Germans would know all things sumo, wouldn't they?
Yeah, they would know nothing sumo.
I have this, I don't remember what this is, but this is, Matt Walsh came on and did a, some sort of a complaint and told everyone to suck him for all the bitching and moaning he's been getting because he's one of the podcasters, or celebrities, I don't know what he is, that's moaning about this, groomers.
Yeah, so did you see his film?
He did a pretty good movie.
I have not seen it.
You have.
You've seen parts of it.
It's what is woman.
He's the guy that... Okay, now I know who it is.
Okay.
Well, I just thought this one little 13 second segment of what he was complaining about was interesting.
You know, the secret they never say out loud is that nobody is truly cancelled unless they consent to it and they willingly play their assigned roles.
Well, I do not consent.
And I'm not going to play the game.
When he said this, the reason I found it fascinating is because I have said this before, that Al Frankel, Frankel, Franker, whatever.
Franken, Franken.
Franken, Frankincense.
Al Franken, when he was cowed from his job as a U.S.
Senator by Kirsten Gillibrand, who's not even in his state, and he should have just said, screw you, I'm going to stay as Senator.
If they vote me out, they vote me out, but I'm not going to just quit.
Because you called me out, Kirsten.
And no, he quit.
He bailed out.
And I thought that when I heard this from Walsh, I said, there it is.
That's exactly what happened to Franken.
He just knuckled under and he could probably still be a U.S.
Senator.
He was, for a super progressive, he was actually pretty good.
He was thorough.
He did his job.
Yes, good questions.
He was okay.
Well, the problem is the context of the time.
The Me Too movement, this all came kind of at the same time, with lots of complaints, and Hollywood was out, and they just proved stronger at that moment.
It was almost... I mean, I agree with you, of course, but that's not how the Democrat Party works.
He had to fall on his sword.
That was necessary at the time.
And it's coincidental that you're talking about this because there's another Me Too moment which is back in the picture.
Tonight, the second trial for disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein is underway in Los Angeles.
The former movie mogul faces multiple counts of rape and other charges involving five women, including Jennifer Newsom, the wife of California's governor, Gavin Newsom.
The 70-year-old Weinstein is already serving a 23-year sentence in New York after being found guilty of rape and sexual assault in 2020.
What did he do with Gavin Newsom's wife?
Well, Gavin Newsom's wife was really an asset to Gavin in terms of campaigning.
She was in Hollywood.
She was working in Hollywood.
She was either a lesser actress or she was in the offices or something.
And he tried to rape her, I think.
It's the way I understand it.
Is she cute?
She's a good-looking lady.
Oh, yeah.
She was much prettier back in the day.
That was horrible.
I can't believe that came out of my mouth.
I did not mean it that way.
That's horrible.
Yeah, you did.
No, I didn't.
I didn't.
But he was going after anyone that looked... he was just going after everyone.
He was going after the typical woman that he would not be able to approach because he was kind of an ugly bastard.
Kind of.
Kind of.
Okay, he's an ugly bastard and so he would go after the best, you know, really He would go after women that really, it was just a power thing.
It was sick.
The guy should, he's gonna just have another 20-30 years to tell you.
Actually, I think in this case he can get life in jail because I think he actually did rape a couple women.
Ugh.
Douche.
All right, last clip for me, just to remind everybody.
Next, a new proposal to tax cows in a very different way to fight climate change.
New Zealand's government wants to put a tax on cow burping and other bodily functions.
It would be a tax on the greenhouse gases that farm animals produce.
Supporters say farmers could make the money back by charging more for products.
Yes, thank you.
The solution to all the farmers' and ranchers' problems is just charge more!
Just charge more, don't worry about it!
So it doesn't do anything to lure anything, it's just bull crap.
Or bull burps.
Yes, Jacinda leading the way once again.
And that will do it.
It's a longer show today, that's fine.
We'll be back on Sunday to deconstruct your world.
I'm sure there will be plenty to discuss.
Crap always happens on a show day.
We have Nick the Rat coming up next on noagendastream.com.
You can just keep listening if you're in the troll room, trollroom.io.
Then we have Sir Michael Anthony with an end of show mix, of course.
Maybe get some good voices.
It's another one of his specialties.
We have the tyrannical Lisper, and we have Socialist Mop, all end of show ditties for you.
Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, FEMA Region No.
6, in the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I remain, I'm John C. Dvorak.
We return on Sunday, right here on NO Agenda.
Until then, remember us at dvorak.org slash NA.

Ikea is experimenting with insect meatballs to make people think about how much meat they eat and encourage people to try alternative proteins.
The new mealworm meatballs are developed by Space 10, IKEA's future living lab.
It's Test Kitchen.
It's developing many alternatives to popular foods, including bug burgers.
Salads grown with hydroponics.
That's without soil, just nutrient-rinsed water.
Microgreen ice cream.
A vegetarian but protein-rich hot dog.
They're all experimental, so Space 10 warns us not to expect them on IKEA's menus.
But they showcase a possible future for food.
Insects are more eco-friendly to rear than farm animals, and could help tackle global food insecurity.
Just listen to Klaus Schwab, who says you will eat the bugs and own the nothing.
