Time Text
We're doing a show?
Adam Curry.
John C. Dvorak.
It's Sunday, October 23rd, 2022.
This is your award-winning Give Our Nation Media Assassination Episode 1497.
This is no agenda.
Welcoming the Tridentic!
And broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6 in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where our guest host is Scott Gottlieb.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill in the morning.
Okay, I'm very curious.
First of all, if I can just say something.
You seem very chipper up and on the ball today.
I didn't do anything.
No, look, I've known you for almost 15 years.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I love it when Mimi comes to visit.
You're sharper than ever.
Yeah, that's it.
And you get annoyed quicker, which is always fun.
So, Scott Gottlieb was on this morning's Face the Nation.
I didn't get any clips because he didn't have anything to say, as usual, except everyone should get the shot.
Ugh, yeah.
But I sent a nasty tweet out.
You did?
You sent... Wait, you... Oh, no!
You participated in the system.
Face the Nation, to Face the Nation and Margaret Brennan for booking this guy.
He's like, he works with the social media companies to get people banned.
He's being sued, it turns out.
Oh?
By that New York Times reporter.
Oh yeah, no, by Alex Berenson, yeah.
Yeah, Berenson, and so he's, and somebody asked him about this.
He hasn't been sued, by the way.
Berenson's just threatening.
And so he's asked about this on some other show, and his quote was, oh, I can't talk about pending litigation.
It's not pending!
Nothing's happened.
Pending litigation?
So the guy's a phony from the get-go.
Wait, who's, you mean Scott Leap is a phony?
Yeah, of course he is!
Oh, I'm sorry, did I just discover that now?
No, no, I thought for a second you meant maybe Alex Berenson.
No, Alex Berenson's fine.
Yeah, of course, he's a good guy.
So, Scott Lieb is on the show, and I figured, well, I'm going to see what, because Margaret Shirley will ask him a question about Berenson and this whole thing.
Now, she is too afraid to do it, the whole show was.
And instead, then they bring out their next series of guests, which includes your friend and mine.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Kara Swisher.
Oh my goodness.
She's there to talk about ballot tampering in Arizona.
Wait, that's not her beat.
And she actually says the words, I may clip this for the next show, it's all part of the Russian playbook.
That's a great iso.
We need that end of show iso.
So the phrase, the Russian playbook.
By the way, anyone want to do a bestseller real quick?
Just do a book called The Russian Playbook.
Well, what's wrong with us?
Exit strategy.
Hello!
We could make this so humorous.
It would be a funny book.
You could do a funny book.
Yeah.
But they're really freaked out.
All these news shows are totally freaked out about Carrie Lake.
Oh yeah, well she's a force to be reckoned with.
She's very interesting.
She is one of the few women over... She's over 50, right?
I don't know how old she is.
You can't tell her age.
She's between 35 and 60.
You can't tell.
She'd be 30.
But she's not.
She's probably in her late 40s.
There aren't many women who can rock the short, the pixie cut that well.
Well, she's a TV personality.
I've been working in the business for 30 years.
She's got a beautiful smile.
It's not a Miss America smile.
It's a different smile, but it's very attractive.
And she is sharp.
And she also knows the news business.
And she knows the news business and she kicks back on anyone who goes after her from the news industry.
And she makes the point, she's on all the shows that she can get on, and she makes the point that they once loved her, now they all hate her because she's a Republican.
It's unbelievable.
Oh, man.
Well, still, I think the political news of the day has got to be the United Kingdom.
I just love what's going on over there.
And if you have a chance to read any of the newspapers, and see if you can actually get a picture of the headlines at the newsstand.
It's just fantastic.
They go nuts over there.
And I was listening to my favorite news podcast from the UK.
Actually, the only news podcast I listen to, The News Agents.
And this, you know, so this is the three journalists, respected journalists, they're well-known, I guess, and they kind of discuss things.
They deconstruct the news while they're reporting the news, kind of.
So this happens.
And we go into a place of sheer political... This is one of the female reporters.
It's too weird to try and govern a party where there is so much demand for a more democratic process.
I mean, I don't know... Hang on.
Maylis, can I interrupt you?
Stephen Swinford is reporting that Boris Johnson is standing.
OK.
Shit.
OK.
Shit.
So, what else do you tell us more?
Okay, shit.
Not biased at all or anything.
I think.
No.
I'd love that they leave that in though.
No bias in the media there.
No, but I love that they left that in.
I have great respect for it.
It's too much work to take it out.
Besides that, it's good radio.
Here's a little update on what's happening over there.
I love how they just snuck in there, how the Queen appointed her, which of course is technically true.
But isn't that weird?
Prime Minister in history, just 44 days after the Queen appointed her and two days before the monarch died.
In Parliament...
I love how they just snuck in there, how the Queen appointed her, which of course is technically true.
But isn't that weird?
Because, you know, it's the party who chose her or some forces that be, but no, the Queen appointed her.
And in public the past month, Truss's political life imploded.
I will deliver a bold plan.
The biggest tax cut plan in half a century would have ballooned the deficit.
That spooked the markets and sent the pound plunging.
She sacked her finance minister, then made a massive U-turn on campaign promises.
20p tax cut, gone.
Two-year energy freeze, gone.
Tax-free shopping, gone.
Economic credibility, gone.
Just yesterday, she vowed to carry on.
Mr. Speaker, I am a fighter and not a quitter.
But today, she did just that.
Stepped down.
This head of lettuce outlasting the premier in a tabloid stunt streamed online.
President Biden thanked trusts.
Look, she was a good partner on Russia and Ukraine, and the British are going to solve their problems.
She didn't do anything.
No.
Zero.
But Britain's problems, including inflation over 10% and at a 40-year high, are not disappearing.
This was about people's mortgages, how much it cost to fill the grocery trolley.
And that's why the British people are pretty angry.
And fed up with their political leaders.
It's just a cycle of rubbish.
Rubbish!
And they replace rubbish with more rubbish.
We're basically the laughing stock of the entire world, as per usual.
I love this.
I love it when it's all blowing up.
So here's the quick follow-up where they tune on CBS Evening News.
Note that Bojo is in the running.
And now the race to replace Liz Truss is on, and the Conservative Party is aiming to have a successor in place as early as Monday.
There are even reports that Boris Johnson may throw his hat back into the ring.
Meanwhile, as for the opposition Labour Party, they are just clamoring for a general election.
Polls show that if that were to be held today, They would win in a landslide.
Yeah.
I have a- I have a clip that discusses the various candidates.
Now, the dark horse candidate that I like, Sunak, Is this woman Penny Mordaunt?
Oh yeah.
She's an insider elite, isn't she?
Isn't she like some superstar that everybody loves?
She's a dark horse.
She's got the sharp tongue that you need.
She doesn't put up a guff.
She has a womb.
She has a womb that you need.
Which makes me think, as a candidate, she's a possibility because they're not going to push out a woman and then bring in a man, I don't think, because of the political correctness of it all.
Unless it's a Sunic guy, because he's Indian.
They didn't like Sunic.
He's too much... Well, he's tied into Chinese credit score systems with his family and stuff.
That guy's very connected.
He's very connected, and he's logically the choice because he's the one who came in second, I think, last time.
Yeah, yeah.
And Mordent was kicked to the curb, but she's still a dark horse.
She would be the best, and there is this situation with, well, you took a woman out to put in a guy?
I don't think so.
Yeah, yeah.
Because that's, you know, American in style, but it's universal.
It's an offense!
So let's go to main UK candidates.
This is a two-minute clip of all the possibilities Morton's mentioned in there.
Who will replace Liz Truss as Britain's Prime Minister?
Truss announced her resignation after just 44 days in office, the shortest term in British history, leading to yet another leadership race.
Here's more.
Rishi Sunak, who has run up against trusts over the summer, is a firm favourite.
The former finance minister sounded an early warning about trust's economic agenda.
Rising inflation is the enemy that makes everyone poorer and puts at risk your homes and your savings.
He first gained popularity steering Britain through the COVID pandemic, dropping conservative instincts for a small state and borrowing massively to support workers and businesses.
He was a preferred candidate amongst conservative MPs in the summer leadership race.
But lost out in the membership vote, many of them saw him as responsible for Boris Johnson's downfall.
Which brings us to the next potential candidate.
And it's perfectly true, it's perfectly true that I leave not at a time of my choosing.
Johnson was kicked out of office in July.
However, the face of Brexit was once seen by many as a vote winner.
In the 2019 general election, he won votes in parts of the country that had never backed the Conservatives before.
Johnson was on a holiday in the Caribbean when Truss announced she was quitting.
But British media reports on Thursday suggested he was flying back.
Seemingly loved and loathed in equal measure, some Conservative MPs may quit if he wins.
Hasta la vista, baby!
The third candidate likely to enter the race is Penny Mordaunt.
A former defence secretary, she only just missed reaching the final two in the summer leadership race.
Mordaunt, like Johnson and Sunak, was a passionate supporter of leaving the European Union, and is seen by some as having broad appeal in the party.
The PM is detained on urgent business.
She won plaudits for her performance in parliament on Monday, when she defended the government, even as it reversed most of its policies.
The prime minister is not under a desk as the old lady said.
That, what she said there, that was sabotage.
No one said she's hiding under a desk.
She said that.
Yeah.
She's sabotage trust, man.
Yeah, I didn't know that was her.
I'd heard that and I was like, holy crap, man.
What a, what a, what a dick move.
Someone from your own party.
But that, that was Penny?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, I'll put money on Penny.
She's badass.
She'd be a strong prime minister.
She's young, luckily.
It's good and bad.
And she looks young.
And she's a But she's got all the chops to be like another Thatcher.
Or that woman in Australia who was just the nastiest of all the prime ministers down there, Redhead, who would just take anyone on.
The face planter.
So I think Morden would be great.
Because she wouldn't put up with anything.
And we'll see if she can sneak through.
It's a long shot.
She's tied to the military-industrial complex, so that's perfect.
She is, so that's an advantage.
Yeah, they'll love her for that.
And they do like her.
Everyone thinks she's funny.
Yeah, and she's ruthless.
That says it to me right there.
She had the balls to do that.
She knew trust was out.
Interesting, interesting, interesting.
Well, we have our own crap going on back here at home, and this has percolated up again as we have been following the story.
A dispute over sick time has derailed talks between the nation's freight railroads and their unions, setting the stage for a possible strike next month.
Workers rejected a tentative contract deal.
Then they proposed adding up to seven sick days per year, but management said no.
A walkout could trigger more supply chain problems.
I was thinking about this because they won't be able to strike.
I guess there's some time limit in the negotiation process that legally binds them to not strike before November 23rd, which to me... The election.
But it's after the election.
So is this a time bomb that the unions are going to hold on to so that if the Republicans dominate, then they blow up the country?
I don't know.
It's hard to say.
I have a one-minute report from New Tang Dynasty that adds a little element to this, that report left out, and I find it kind of interesting that that, where'd you get that report?
Hold on a second.
That was ABC, America This Morning.
Yeah, well they left out a little factoid, which they'll play, you'll hear it in this one.
U.S.
railroad companies rejected a new sick leave proposal yesterday from a union of track maintenance workers that is threatening to go on strike.
The Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way employees says it will strike as soon as November 19th without a new labor deal.
The union proposed seven paid sick days up to 56 hours per year as part of a new contract agreement which the railroads rejected.
The railroads said in a statement, quote, rail unions have agreed repeatedly in previous contracts that short-term absences would be unpaid in favor of higher compensation for days worked and more generous sickness benefits for longer absences.
If the union were to go on strike, it is expected that other freight railroad unions would honor their picket lines, causing the nation's major freight railroads to grind to a halt and stopping the movement of an estimated 30% of the nation's freight.
Negotiations are scheduled to resume in the next two weeks.
Both sides are issuing warnings.
The Brotherhood of Maintenance-of-Way Employees represents 23,000 rail workers.
It is the third largest rail workers' union.
As a general officer... Now, see that... I just want to point out that that little report from NTV... Oh, superior!
...was packed with... it was superior to ABC.
Yeah.
You have all the resources of ABC News and they can't put together a decent report.
And they leave out important facts.
Which is they chose more money over the sick day pay, or the sick day leave.
And so what I understand is they said, hey, we want just more dough, we won't get sick, and if we do, screw it, that's our tough.
And then a couple of the other unions went, hey, wait a minute, we don't like that deal.
Is that what I'm hearing?
All the unions had the same basic deal, but this one union is steadfastly standing by with the, hey, we've changed our minds about the no paid sick leave.
And so they said, nah, you know, it depends on the union leadership.
I mean, you can change your mind about stuff.
Yeah.
But it's like, yeah, yeah, we used to do it that way.
But we don't like that so much anymore because it's getting costly.
But aren't these unions tied closely to the Democratic leaderships, i.e.
Obama?
Yeah.
Yeah, so this could just be a trigger, they can resolve it, or they can let it go and let it cripple the country.
I wouldn't put it past these idiots.
Well, even if it cripples the country, there will be a damaging blow to the Democrats, because it always reflects on the President of the United States, not the parties that win in the midterms.
And there's reason number two.
Now we really can get rid of Joe.
He's failing at everything.
25th Amendment!
Get rid of the guy!
Yeah, it's always possible.
The 25th amendment looms.
It sure does.
A report leaked in the Netherlands.
There is a secret scenario that is good to go in case the euro collapses and they will bring the guilder back.
I love this.
Do you remember when they all switched to the euro?
When was that?
2010, 2012 maybe?
That was way before that.
No, no, no.
They did the switch on paper, but it took several years before they did the switch.
There was years, years before everyone was on the Euro 100%.
But I remember that, you know, the Deutschmark, they still had, you know, like, oh, we've got a secret plan.
In case it doesn't work, we'll continue to print Deutschmarks.
You remember that?
I vaguely remember the euro was launched in January 1999.
Oh yeah, I know, but... And for the first three years was an invisible currency only used for accounting purposes.
So it was 2006 then.
Crohn's and banknotes were launched in 2002.
Well, the older I get, the worse my memory is.
It's not memories, you're just compressing history.
Now is that a natural thing that old people do?
Yeah, believe me.
Yeah, you know, when I was back, when I was in Portugal last year, you weren't in Portugal except eight years ago.
Oh.
Wow.
Okay, well that sucks balls.
I don't like that.
Well, it's not going to get any better.
This is no good.
This is just compression.
It's not a big deal.
Goodness.
Well, since we're doing a little bit of American politics, let me just give you some reports here on the Biden crime family.
I like the neck and neck in Fetterman's case.
on the hunt today for Democratic votes in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania.
Lunching with Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman, who's neck and neck with Republican Mehmet Oz.
Fetterman, one of the few contenders willing to be seen with the president, given his sagging poll numbers.
I like the neck and neck in Fetterman's case.
That's humorous.
Yeah, they keep doing that, I think.
It's a reference, of course, to this big, giant lump on the back of his neck.
I think it's huge, like another head.
Whoever wrote this one, kudos.
Can you turn your speakers down just a tad, John?
I'm having trouble getting it out.
Because they turned them up earlier.
So whoever wrote that at CBS deserves a little attaboy for that one.
Well, the thing is, it still fascinates me, this Federman guy.
This is the dumbest big lunk I have ever seen in my life.
And Paul, he's never had a job in his life.
Wow, you're such an ableist!
He's got his brain dead.
I mean, this whole thing about this guy is just a disaster.
But yeah, there he is.
And the Democrats are... In fact, I think Obama came out for him.
Oh yeah, of course.
He's all on the up and up.
He's good to go.
Anything better than Oz.
Republican Mehmet Oz.
Federman, one of the few contenders willing to be seen with the president, given his sagging poll numbers.
Sagging poll numbers?
Oh, that's a good line.
These guys are ruthless.
It ain't over till it's over.
In the six key Senate races across the country, the economy and inflation are among the top concerns.
And nearly 7 in 10 voters in a new CBS News poll think the president isn't doing enough.
The Biden administration's failed policies have created this crisis that we're in.
Polls are beginning to break in favor of Republicans, so the president has spent the week pushing issues that might resonate with voters.
Forgiving student loans, protecting abortion rights, I'm not relying on Chuck Schumer or the president or anybody to come in here and boost me or give me money.
want to be seen with the president, including Senate candidate Tim Ryan in Ohio, who's trailing Republican J.D. Vance.
I'm not relying on Chuck Schumer or the president or anybody to come in here and, like, you know, boost me or give me money.
We're doing it on our own.
The president has done most of his campaigning behind closed doors, party fundraisers, as he will tonight with Federer.
Democratic Congressman Brendan Boyle said candidates shouldn't be avoiding the president, given his accomplishments.
We elected Democrats, have a damn good record to run on.
We shouldn't run away from it.
Man, guy can't catch a break.
So they left a lot of reporting, not the mainstream, but almost everybody else ran, because they mentioned Tim Ryan.
That's probably why they used these allusions to sagging and all the rest.
Because here's the clip of the reporter going up to Biden specifically asking him about why he's not going to, or why Tim Ryan doesn't want him to show up.
And this is the Biden mumbling 1620 clip.
Tim Ryan in Ohio said he doesn't want you there.
Warnock said, wouldn't say.
Do you think they're making a mistake?
No, there's 16 there I've already gone in for.
You're adding a lot more grass.
Another 20 or so.
So I'm gonna be going in.
Yeah, you know what?
My human heart broke a little when I saw this clip.
Like, the dude is toast.
You know, I know what he's trying to do.
No, there's 16 people there.
I got a tree.
I'm going.
I'm there.
Sad.
Sad.
Elder abuse.
Elder abuse.
But, you know, luckily, we got Jill out on the campaign trail.
And she is incredibly popular.
Now, while many Democrats may be nervous about campaigning with President Biden, they're quite eager to be seen with the first lady, Jill Biden, who's been out on the trail.
And in the coming weeks in four key battleground states, it's the former president, Barack Obama, who will be the top headliner for Democrats.
Pulling out the big guns!
Interesting that Jill is so popular.
I'm sure it's not true, but I wonder what the playbook is.
The Russian playbook.
Just have Jill run interference.
And then, of course, these stupid... She's presentable.
Yeah, she's presentable, but she messes stuff up too.
She does, like, calls people tacos.
Yeah, that was a classic.
Yeah, the taco gaffe.
She's a little bit of a risk, you know.
She's a gaffe-meister, too.
And then, you know, they always have to do all the... They gotta get all the constituents.
Now, let's go get some trans people.
Are you familiar with Devin Mulvaney?
No.
Devin Mulvaney is what identifies as a trans woman.
I mean, it's truly a boy who is really dressing like a girl.
As far as I know, there's no surgery or anything or no implants.
And, you know, like an influencer, Instagrammer type person.
And so what do we see now?
Oh, Devin Mulvaney is going to meet with the president.
Oh yeah, this makes a lot of sense.
We've got to get the constituency together.
So this is the entire report from Devin Muldaney.
It's day 222 of being a girl.
I'm in Washington D.C.
and I'm going to the White House to speak to the President of the United States!
You know that phrase, I fear I may have girlbossed too close to the sun?
Well that's how I feel today because I get to sit down with Joe Biden and now this news and I get to ask him a few questions surrounding trans issues in the United States and talk to him about my transness and I really just... I'm sorry.
I like that you can talk about your transness.
Transness.
I gotta write that one down.
There's a show title.
I don't know about that.
Transness.
Transness!
How's your transness this morning?
It's running behind time.
Mine's acting up!
I can talk to him about my transness and I really just want to represent my community the best that I can.
And you know what?
As silly as I am on- I'm sorry.
And I do want- Are no agenda trans.
We have several of them.
I mean, we have thousands.
I don't know.
I want your response to this.
This is what's representing you, supposedly, to the president.
Oh, they must be beside themselves.
They must be mad!
There's anyone as serious as opposed to these goofballs.
I mean, that must make you mad!
It's like the guy that played the piano with his pecker that's going around that video.
Some guy dresses the girl, he has fake tits, he strips off his clothes and he finishes, he's playing the piano on stage in some performance.
It's BBC, no, it's Channel 4, late night television.
Oh, Channel 4, UK.
Yeah, UK, yeah.
Yeah, late night television, he tears off all his clothes and then finishes his piano recital, it's actually a keyboard, with his pecker, he pounds the keyboard with it.
I mean, it's hilarious, but come on.
Is this representative of anything but insanity?
I can.
And you know what?
As silly as I am on here, I'm ready to step up and show that trans people, we're not going anywhere.
And that trans kids deserve a fighting chance to be their true selves.
Okay?
Oh my god, I'm running late!
Let's go!
And y'all are obviously wondering what I'm gonna wear to meet the president!
Here you go!
It's the trans flag colors!
Cute, right?
It's the heels.
Believe me, a wholly inappropriate outfit.
Revealing lots of skin and... Okay, Dylan, you're gonna be great.
I love you.
Let's go.
Come on!
Do you think I just knock on the front door?
They're walking to the White House.
The President of the United States gave me a cookie.
And there you go, everybody.
That's your report.
I went to talk about my transness, and the President of the United States gave me a cookie.
He gave me a cookie in the Oval Office.
Now here's the question.
Do I eat it?
Or do I save it?
It has a seal.
Please, honestly, tell me.
Hello, everyone!
I got to pet the dog!
I got to pet his dog!
Oh, I got a cookie and I got to pet his dog!
I am so proud of this trans community representation in America.
This really is good.
I mean, this is exactly what true trans people want, is this kind of representation.
I'm still in shock, and don't be mad, but I don't get to post any of the footage until after the interview airs on Sunday night.
Okay, so there's going to be something big.
I think it's going to be 60 Minutes.
Isn't 60 Minutes Sunday night?
They're going to do this on 60 Minutes, John?
But we know what happened.
They got a cookie and got to pet the dog.
On 60 Minutes, this would be great.
It's gonna be worth it because I can't wait for you to hear everything that we talked about.
I left with a lot of hope and optimism, not only for just trans people, but many different topics.
And the fact that our president has watched Days of Girlhood, it's kind of epic.
And I'm not gonna lie, I've been having a rough go of it lately.
A lot of darkness.
And today was what I needed to keep going.
Also, if you live in the US and can legally vote, this is going to be one of the most important elections of our lifetimes.
So please get out and vote next month.
Go ahead.
Activation.
Activation complete.
Vote!
I caught a weird Biden situation.
It's the end of times, John.
I'm kind of weary.
I got a couple of clips here.
Alright.
So Biden gave this long speech, it was one of these, a kind of stump speech, and it went on and on.
I was going to clip it together and make fun of it, but I just decided to catch the end of it.
And at the end of it, so the clip is, Biden's sorry at end of talk, is clip number one.
Play that, and listen to the way he finishes his speech.
Vote!
Vote!
God bless you all, and may God protect our troops.
Thank you, I'm sorry.
Yeah, I know.
God's looking down going, really, Joe?
I'm sorry.
So he says he's sorry.
So they start playing this tune, and then they... Is it Hail to the Chief?
They play Hail to the Chief?
No, they never play Hail to the Chief.
It's some rock song.
You'll hear it in a second.
Oh, the stump speech, yeah, of course.
And he stops the band, or stops the... No, there's no band, but he stops the song.
He stops the tape.
He realizes he screwed up by saying, I'm sorry, in his speech.
Oh, I see.
And so then everything comes to a halt.
So this is the Biden apology.
I was apologizing for my back.
My mother would be very angry.
I was talking with people with my back to them.
I apologize.
So thank you all so very, very much.
Huh.
So, he does- But I don't know what song it was.
Pisses me off.
Can I just- Higher and higher.
Can I just- Oh.
Your love keeps- Oh, yeah, okay.
Alright, Steve, we won't- Gotcha.
So, he, uh... Now, I've seen him give speeches.
For longer than two years, even before then.
And he always has people behind his back.
They all do.
Trump does too.
They have a bunch of stooges behind your back and then they're smiling, clapping, they're holding signs.
So this time he is apologizing?
He's never done this before.
So that's bullcrap.
He's not stopping this speech to apologize because he's got people behind his back.
So I don't know what he said I'm sorry for.
I think he forgot to thank somebody or make a nod or to toss to the next music video.
I mean he forgot to do something in the script and someone was like no no no no and then he couldn't figure it out and I don't know.
You know this but it's it's heartwarming to know that this is how smooth it runs in the White House.
It's smooth as silk.
Smooth baby, smooth.
I've got to play this clip for a couple of reasons.
One, it shows you the anger of the Dutch, which of course, you know, I haven't grown up there.
I have a lot of connections, a lot of family, my daughter in particular.
And so there's this Dutch guy who did this minute and a half rant, you know, just on, I don't know if it was on TikTok or Instagram, doesn't really matter.
But I'd like to play it for two reasons.
One, because he does not have the accent the way I usually do it.
It's very refined, great accent.
But he's mad.
He's really mad.
The angry Dutchman!
Isn't it odd that you as a grown European man have to watch your words or you might lose your bank accounts.
The social media corporations might shut down your email or even your phone numbers.
And still I have this desire to speak the truth.
You know, growing up in the Netherlands, I witnessed firsthand how our country began pandering to the immigrants.
And then it got worse.
Then in the late 1990s, they started pushing for the LGBT agenda.
It started with the gay marriage, and now we have surgeons removing wombs from 14-year-old girls.
And then came the euthanasia movement.
First they said it's just for old people with terminal illnesses.
Now, if you're an 18-year-old and you claim you are depressed and you can't heal, or even if you are hearing a high-pitched sound in your ear that you can't get rid of, now these are accepted as excuses for you to have euthanasia, which is basically state-sanctioned murder.
And all the while these things are happening, they keep calling it progress.
But it's not progress.
It's decline, morally, socially, and especially psychologically.
And as the icing on the cake, our Western leadership now expect men like me to enjoy being drafted into the armies because we have to fight the Russians.
I have to lay my life down in the mud to die for diversity and LGBT and gay marriage, things that I don't give a shit about, and still our leaders expect that I will go along with it or else they'll take away my e-mail and my bank accounts.
This is just fucked up.
Come on, man.
Excellent use of F-duck.
Very, very good.
Yes, it was a good use of the F-bomb.
Yep.
And does it sound familiar?
Immigration?
No, it's the same.
It's worldwide.
It's a worldwide phenomenon.
It's the same playbook.
It's the same Russian playbook.
It's a Russian playbook.
Now, so amidst all this, and this has really been bugging me, this Adderall shortage.
that I've been talking about for a week or two.
I see the stories pop up.
We got Adderall shorted.
So I'm like, okay, I'm ready.
Adderall is already widely abused, prescribed.
What exactly is going on?
I start to look into it.
Adderall, by the way, the compound itself is crystal, it's like salt, methamphetamine, basically.
And it's generic.
But Adderall is the brand and Adderall is the most commonly prescribed.
Yeah.
And illegally used.
And so then there's this report.
It's on Good Day Philadelphia, I think.
It's a local news report.
And they bring in their doctor.
Dr. Z, I think her name is.
And as I'm watching this, and as I watched it again this morning, I was going to clip it, I kind of figured out why my brain was triggered from this.
Let's just talk about, I'll stop the clip throughout a couple of times because it's really incredible what I think might be going on here.
The FDA declared a nationwide shortage of Adderall because there's so much demand and there are supply issues and this could last into next year.
Licensed clinical psychologist and author Dr. Jamie Zuckerman joins us now.
Doctor, remind us all, what is Adderall?
Adderall is a medication, stimulant medication used for ADHD to help people be able to focus better, concentrate better, and just kind of perform better on their day to day.
Why a shortage then?
I like this.
And just perform better.
What?
What kind of medication?
Just, you know, if you need to perform, like a drug, okay.
It's speed, lady.
That's exactly what it is.
But she's not going to say that, obviously, because we're not quite sure exactly whose payroll she's on yet.
So there's a couple reasons one there is a increase in demands which a lot happened over the pandemic there's a lot more diagnosis there was a lot more there was ease to get the medication because of online appointments that you could have so it just made things easier people were seeing symptoms that people
We've been tracking this ease of getting the drugs, mainly through these therapy apps, where you can talk to somebody, but they really are technically providers, and so they can ask you a few questions, you answer a few yes, okay, you're good for this.
Antidepressants, some Adderall, etc.
They're legal drug pushers, and this really popped up during the pandemic.
This is very disturbing.
Appointments that you could have so it just made things easier people were seeing symptoms that maybe they hadn't seen before in their workplace Structures and routines went out the window so symptoms became a lot more apparent.
What kind of symptoms do you think ADHD is?
Which is not asked by the way What does that even mean symptom more new symptoms of what?
Well, it's such a problem for kids.
I mean, so many children, it's really important for them to be able to focus in school.
That's right.
And you can't just be switching things up willy-nilly when people have routine and structure.
So, what do you do if you have, for example, elementary school kids that are on this?
Elementary school kids who are on meth?
So, there's a couple things.
One... Holy mackerel!
You know, now that you mention it, yeah.
Well, let's call it what it is.
It's really not meth.
It's a combination of ingredients, different amphetamines mixed in a certain way, to be honest, but a lot of dex in there.
Or as they used to call it, dex, dexamphetamine or dextroamphetamine, whatever it is.
But they're mixed up.
But so I think the generic term should be speed.
Speed.
OK, there you go.
Speed.
Yeah, that's a good one.
Speed.
So, hey, kids need to concentrate.
That doesn't mean a stable, loving household with good food and some discipline.
No!
Oh, speed!
Routine and structure.
So what do you do if you have, for example, elementary school kids that are on this?
So there's a couple things.
One, there are other medications the FDA is listing and it's different dosages.
So that is something that you can do.
Can the pharmacist do that?
Because I think they were having some problems getting some of the ingredients.
The pharmacists are able to make these different or to compound different things.
So there's other types of non-stimulant ADHD medications that are available.
So it's obviously something you want to talk to your provider about to see if that is something that could benefit you.
Hey, stop, stop, stop.
I've been meaning to bring this up because it's been going on for months on end.
he You notice and they do this in all the mainstream media.
It's got to be in the style guides or it's got to be like the NBC style guide.
It's got to be something because they've all done it.
They've changed the word your doctor to your provider.
That's exactly what I teased a minute ago.
That's why I said your provider.
Yeah, but I think it needs to be pointed out that these talking heads keep saying provider.
Somebody is telling them to do that because I remember, and you can remember, we all remember, well, you should ask your doctor.
They don't do that.
Now it's all you should ask your provider.
Well, your provider could be a drug dealer.
It could be a stooge at the cannabis shop.
Your provider is a legal drug dealer.
This is the whole point.
The people who answer the app calls, they're providers.
They're not doctors.
So they don't give you any advice other than the script, the protocol.
This is a legal definition that they're using here.
This woman, this doctor, is using this maybe because she's just mind-controlled into it.
But I think it's clear that she's on a mission here.
She's selling an alternative to the generic Adderall.
Well, it sounds like it, because she kept talking about it.
Yeah, well, no, no, no.
The television people say, so are there alternatives?
That's the script.
Say, let me back it up a little.
Russian playbook.
Pharmacists do that?
I think that we're having some problems getting some of the ingredients.
The pharmacists are able to make these different, or to compound different things.
Hold on a second, hold on a second.
I'm sorry, you said we could interrupt.
I'm interrupting.
Yeah, definitely.
I think they're having trouble getting some ingredients.
What kind of a report is this?
I think they're, well, I think they're not getting some ingredients.
What do you know?
Not what you think.
Do you know they're not getting the ingredients?
Could this be just a giant scam?
What specific ingredients are they not getting and why aren't they getting them?
Most of these things are manufactured in India nowadays and some in Mexico.
There's no supply chain issues here.
I think this, I think that.
Well, it is in fact, Adderall is marketed and manufactured by Teva, T-E-V-A.
And they are the ones saying that because of supply chains and high demand, and in addition to that, they are regulated by the FDA as to how much they can produce.
So they're also saying, hey, we need to be able to produce more.
So they're full of crap, basically.
They just want to make more of these drugs.
But I think there's multiple players going on here as we listen to, again, the newslady kicking off the script.
You can't just be switching things up willy-nilly when people have- Here, hold on a second.
Let's go back a little further.
Willy-nilly!
Went out the window, so symptoms became a lot more apparent.
Well, it's such a problem for our kids.
I mean, so many children, it's really important for them to be able to focus in school.
That's right.
And you can't just be switching things up willy-nilly when people have- She just brings this up out of the blue!
Out of the blue, you can't be switching things up willy-nilly, can you?
Routine and structure.
So what do you do if you have, for example, elementary school kids that are on this?
So there's a couple things.
One, there are other medications the FDA is listing and different dosages.
So that is something that you can do.
Can the pharmacist do that?
Because I think they were having some problems getting some of the ingredients.
The pharmacists are able to make these different or to compound different things?
So there's other types of non-stimulant ADHD medications that are available.
So it's obviously something you want to talk to your provider about to see if that is something that could benefit you.
Okay.
So other drugs that are, do they do the same thing?
Yes.
If it's not a stimulant?
They do the same thing.
They work in a different way.
But again, it's something, if you've been on a medication for a long time, you really want to speak to your provider before you just switch.
Yeah, you just can't stop.
Correct.
There's got to be a transition.
It's such a challenge.
I just feel like your kids are... I mean, they're literally prepping you to... Okay, so just so you know, you can't just stop.
You can't just switcheroo like you can do that.
You can just call up the pharmacy.
Hey man, I'm switching to product B. No!
You need a note from a provider.
Make sure you talk to your provider.
Talk to your provider.
Make sure you talk to your provider.
Do they do the same thing?
If it's not a stimulant?
They do the same thing.
They work in a different way.
But again, it's something, if you've been on a medication for a long time, you really want to speak to your provider before you just switch.
You just can't stop.
Correct.
There's got to be a transition.
It's such a challenge.
I just feel like your kids are running around doing all these different things.
Who's this fast talking woman who's obviously worried sick that she's not going to get her speed?
No, she's on the product, you see.
She's on the product.
Meet your provider before you just switch.
You just can't stop.
Correct.
There's gotta be a transition.
It's such a challenge.
I just feel like your kids are running around doing all these different things, and it's just a really frustrating situation.
I have some friends... I love this part!
You know, your kids are running around doing all these different things.
Yeah, lady, they're on speed!
Take them off the junk, man!
You just can't stop.
Correct.
There's gotta be a transition.
It's such a challenge.
I just feel like your kids are running around doing all these different things and it's just a really frustrating situation.
Can you imagine?
The funny thing is that woman, the woman from the station, she's on speed.
The guy, the deep-throated guy, he's like a dope smoker.
He's like mellowed out.
Well, you can't do it that way.
And the doctors, you can see her head on a swivel going back and forth.
I don't know what they do here.
Oh man, that is so funny.
You're right about that guy.
Wow.
I am really high.
It's gotta be a transition.
It's such a challenge.
I just feel like your kids are running around doing all these different things and it's just a really frustrating situation.
I have some friends where they just had kids that were just diagnosed and you're already trying to get them onto something.
I couldn't wait!
Look, I've been waiting for weeks to get my kids on something!
These kids need to be loaded on something!
Please, provider!
Please, provider!
I need... I'm so... Can I get my kid on something?
There's gotta be a transition.
It's such a challenge.
I just feel like your kids are running around doing all these different things, and it's just a really frustrating situation.
I have some friends where they just had kids that were just diagnosed, and you're already trying to get them onto something, and sometimes it can have, you know, different... Will the new stuff have, or the different things, could they have side effects that... Did you catch it?
Did you catch it?
The new stuff?
Will the new stuff, and she corrects herself, I mean, the alternate.
The new stuff!
I didn't know she was correcting herself or just changing the subject in midstream like you would do if you're jacked up.
Now listen again.
They're running around doing all these different things and it's just a really frustrating situation.
I have some friends where they just had kids that were just diagnosed and you're already trying to get them onto something and sometimes it can have, you know, different, well the new stuff have, or the different things, could they have side effects that Well, the new stuff, um, I mean the different things.
I don't, I, no, I think she's just nuts.
She's just yacking away.
Without a doubt.
She's not correcting herself, I can assure you.
Without a doubt.
And sometimes it can have, you know, different... Well, the new stuff have, or the different things, could they have side effects that you should know about that would be different than what they were already on?
Sure.
Like an Adderall?
Sure.
Of course, you always want to check with your provider about side effects, because all these medications for children and kids and adults, you know, can affect them differently.
Is there a brand name of an Adderall substitute?
A non-simulant would be Stratera, who would be an example.
Hello!
Hello!
Is there an example?
Could you give me a name?
I mean, just off the cuff.
The guy's like, oh, it's just my line.
Could you give us a name?
My line.
Could you give us a name of a brand that you want to get your kids on?
Or always, you always want to check with the provider about side effects because all these medications, particularly in kids and adults, can affect them differently.
Is there a brand name of an Adderall substitute?
So a non-stimulant would be Stratera, would be an example.
Stratera.
Okay, well, good luck, folks.
And therapy.
You need your therapy.
It's always something that you do.
Listen to him!
Oh, well, sorry, speed freaks.
Bad day for you.
Good luck, folks.
I'm just... I'm a weirdo.
A non-simulant would be stratera, would be an example.
Get him up and moving around, he says.
Hey man, if your kids are down, don't give them speed.
- Oh yeah, therapy.
- Like you said, get him up and moving around if they're inclined to do that.
- Yeah, I have so many questions.
It's such a frustrating situation.
- Thank you for coming in.
- Yeah, it's my pleasure.
- Thank you, Dr. Z. - Get him up and moving around, he says.
Hey man, your kids are down.
Don't give him speed.
Kick their ass, get him up moving around, man.
So first of all, this Stratera is made by Eli Lilly.
Eli Lilly.
and And this is not a generic.
I don't know what Adamoxetine does.
Have you ever heard of atomoxetine?
Not off the top of my head.
I'd have to read about it.
Yeah.
Well, it's used... Let me just see here.
From WebMD, which, of course, is always good information, used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, part of a total treatment plan, including psychological, social, and other treatments.
It may help to increase the ability to pay attention, concentrate, stay focused, and stop fidgeting.
It is thought to work... It is thought to work...
By restoring the balance of certain natural substances, neurotransmitters... It's called select, this type of... Norapinephrine reuptake inhibitors.
Oh, so it's an SSRI.
Well, no, it's a different kind... Well, it's not an SSRI necessarily.
It's like... But it works like one.
But it messes with the way your metabolism works.
Great!
Your metabolism?
So it has the same effect as speed?
Well, I mean, your whole system is based on it.
Reuptake is a metabolic function where you get a jolt of some, let's say, adrenaline, and then the adrenaline phases out naturally.
And if you give yourself a drug to prevent that from happening, you've messed with the metabolic function.
And that's what these things do.
So as so here's yes, so this may be a very long commercial by Eli Lilly to promote Stratera.
I think that there's definitely had to be.
Well, there's one other thing.
There's definitely an element of Coupling therapy with this drug, as you just heard in the description.
She even said that, oh, and therapy and therapy!
So I think that this may be the drug of choice for these therapy apps.
So you're getting quote-unquote therapy from a provider.
And as we remember, we heard that we had clips of the lady like, you know, you call the first time, we'll give you two of these pills.
Second time, give you three of those.
Third time, sorry, I've done everything I can for you.
I can't prescribe anything but bye.
So this is legal drug dealing.
Now, as I'm watching this, and this is clearly a package, somehow, some sort, with a local Dr. Z, they have this footage B-roll going, and it's pills, it's just pills, it's pills in different boxes, in different containers, you know, with that knife-looking thing, they put it into the bottle, and it's just a whole B-roll of pills.
And I remember thinking, man, Maybe they're trying to move the kids from Adderall to opioids, you know?
Maybe it's like, it's time to up our game on this generic crap.
And so as I was watching it again this morning to clip it, I kid you not, and people can watch it in the show notes, in that B-roll, there's one shot that came back three times of Oxycontin.
Really?
Yes, and Teva is not only a fentanyl producer, They've also been stonewalling the Senate opioid probe.
You know, which has got the Sacklers and J&J, and so there's something going on with TEVA.
And I have a feeling, wasn't there some, like, some senatorial candidate, approval that had to be, some, some candidate for some thing, something important, like Homeland Security, or, a woman, and she was member of, I thought it was the Teva family.
I don't know, it's just, all of that, but when I saw that OxyContin come back three times, I mean, it's very possible, like, hey, you know what?
This, this, uh, we've saturated the market with, uh, with speed.
We gotta up our game a bit!
You know, hey, I got an idea!
Let's make them all colors of the rainbow!
Now, of course, that's just conspiracy.
Yeah, well that's a total... especially when you bring that in.
Yeah, but that's happening.
I'm not making it up.
No, but whether or not they want to move kids from Adderall, which is speed... Maybe not kids.
...to opioids, which is good downer... Maybe not kids.
I mean, you know, they're using fentanyl in all kinds of drugs that look like, uh, what is it?
You know, a bar of, uh, what is that shit called?
Xanax.
Well, this would be China's revenge from, uh, for the opioid war.
Yeah, well, then let's just ignore it.
They've actually mentioned this.
I think it's well within the realm of possibility that the Chinese would love to see us all wasted on opioids.
Yeah.
Or dead.
And of course, we've had a change now with the status of vaccines in the United States, with addition or recommendation to be on the children's schedule.
This morning, drugmaker Pfizer says it will soon start charging for its COVID vaccine.
The cost will be about $120 for the vaccine once the federal government stops paying for them.
It's still not clear yet if or when that could happen.
Pfizer says it expects people with private or government-provided health insurance will still pay nothing.
So the government was paying $20 a dose of my memories, correct?
Because we had the numbers.
It wasn't more than $50, for sure.
No, no, it wasn't even close to $50.
The numbers, as I recall, were $19 or $20 for Pfizer, $30 for Moderna, and J&J was $10.
That was what the government was paying for these shots that they bought by the billions.
And as the saying goes, you get what you pay for.
Everybody took that J&J.
Way to go, blood clot land!
Yes, of course.
And then we have the Tridemic coming up.
too yeah um but the uh so to jack it up from 20 bucks to 120 is that what they said yeah 120 it's unbelievable it's a gouge yes of course um and then we have the the tridemic coming up
the tridemic and the new york times wrote this morning. .
Tridemic.
Wait, let me see.
Let me find the exact... Tridemic.
Oh yeah.
Here it is.
The... I'm sorry, not tri... A tripledemic.
My mistake.
Oh, well, they gotta retry some.
It's better.
Yeah, stupid New York Times.
A triple-demic?
Flu and other infections return as COVID cases rise.
This morning, the dramatic rise in respiratory illnesses across the U.S.
Cases of RSV spreading.
The CDC now reporting the age group currently most impacted by flu-like illness are children under five.
Hospitals in 43 states now telling ABC News they are facing a crush of the flu, RSV and other common viruses.
In Connecticut, 10-month-old Lila got progressively sicker with RSV over the last five days, winding up in the ER overnight where she was treated with a nebulizer.
She'd been lethargic for more than 24 hours and was showing lots of signs of dehydration.
Give her some water and put her to bed, for God's sake.
What are you sending her to the hospital for, you dumb woman?
Here, I have a less frenetic version of that same clip.
Well, this is from NPR where they talk with a little more, uh...
It's under COVID new illnesses.
Oh, yeah.
Scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say there's been a surge in respiratory illnesses in... Oh, notice the, uh, the surge word is back in my report and your report.
Hmm.
Say there's been a surge in respiratory illnesses in children.
Besides the coronavirus and the flu, a virus known as RSV is spreading at unusually high levels.
Some pediatric hospitals report they're nearing capacity.
Health professionals are concerned since the nation is adjusting.
And by the way, capacity is not just number of beds, it is number of personnel they have to service the number of beds they have, but that's never mentioned.
Right, and we should remind everyone that these hospitals are designed to run at 99% full capacity because that's how you make the money.
This is like, it's no different than the airlines as the guy at Southwest once said.
The airline's not making any money if it's not in the air.
Some pediatric hospitals report they're nearing capacity.
Health professionals are concerned since the nation is just heading into the flu season.
Meanwhile, the director of the CDC has tested positive for COVID-19.
A statement said Dr. Rochelle Walensky is experiencing mild symptoms.
Well, there you have it.
Well, by the way, that follows on nicely with Bulenski getting the COVID late in the game with this very minor mini-cut of COVID.
Well, here's what I'm hearing.
It says, well, I want to play the supercut first.
Oh.
If I'd better be on here.
Oh, yeah.
I see.
Vaccine supercut.
Yeah, because this is- we have to- we always have to remember- Oh yes, this is a good one.
Yeah, of course.
Stops with every vaccinated person.
A vaccinated person gets exposed to the virus.
The virus does not infect them.
The virus cannot then use that person to go anywhere else.
It cannot use a vaccinated person as a host to go get more people.
That means the vaccines will get us to the end of this.
Essentially, vaccines block you from getting and giving the virus.
Fully vaccinated people.
are at a very, very low risk of getting COVID-19.
Therefore, if you've been fully vaccinated, you no longer need to wear a mask.
When people are vaccinated, they can feel safe that they are not going to get infected.
We have all the vaccines we need.
We just need our people to take it.
A, for their own protection, for the protection of their family, but also to break the chain of transmission.
You want to be a dead end to the virus.
So when the virus gets to you, you stop it.
You don't allow it to use you as the stepping stone to the next person.
I think given the country as a whole, the fact that we have now about 50% of adults fully vaccinated and about 62% of adults having received at least one dose, as a nation, I feel fairly certain you're not going to see the kind of surges we've seen in the past.
If you're vaccinated, you're not going to be hospitalized, you're not going to be in an ICU unit, and you're not going to die.
You're okay.
You're not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations.
I'm glad you clipped that, the supercut, because we heard Dr. Fauci in there, and now as they are obviously, the way I see it, ratcheting up the necessity for vaccinations for children under five, and that probably means that Cominarty, you know, Pfizer, Moderna, whatever, COVID shot, that's really what they're angling at.
And now, of course, they're able to do that.
The timing is no coincidence.
So Fauci is out kind of promoting this because, you know, we have the triple-demic.
But what the heck has happened to Fauci?
I didn't even recognize him in these clips from Good Morning America.
Let's start with just how concerned parents should be about these viruses.
Well, respiratory syncytial virus, traditionally, is one of the most difficult viruses.
Does this even sound like Fauci?
No, it doesn't sound anything like Fauci.
It sounds like he had a throat operation or something.
He has a certain timbre to his gravelly voice, and that doesn't sound anything like him.
I mean, this is Fauci, from Good Morning America, but maybe someone had the Fauci mask on.
Because this is not his voice.
It has a little bit, you'll hear it gets a little different near the end, but sums up.
Young children less than five years old, we have about 58,000 hospitalizations a year with respiratory syncytial virus making it the leading cause of infectious disease hospitalizations in children.
Have anywhere between a hundred and a few hundred deaths per year.
We're seeing a surge of it now, more so than in previous years.
You know, the infectious disease environment for children has been really warped a bit by COVID, where you have dissociation from contact with people, wearing of masks, being withdrawn and protected.
And then as people pull back, no longer wear masks, congregate together, then you get a surge of infections that might have been spread out over a period of time We're seeing a concentration of them now.
This is particularly problematic Because as we get into the flu season, you might have a convergence of three significant respiratory illnesses at one time in children.
RSV, which you just mentioned, influenza, and of course there's always the concern as we get into the winter about a surge of a new variant of COVID-19.
So it's particularly difficult at this particular time as we enter into the colder weather.
Fauci or Fauxci?
F-A-U-X-C-I.
Yeah, no, I got it.
Oh, you do have to spell it though for the... For those who aren't as agile as you.
Fauxci.
Fauci.
Fauci Could have had some prosthetics on.
You know, they do that.
It's a fact.
People joke about it.
No, no.
There's real masks.
We've had the CIA people on the, you know, we've listened to that woman disguise artist person.
No, not artist.
She runs the mask department of the CIA.
Well, she did.
She's retired.
She's retired now.
She doesn't work for the CIA anymore.
So she's mentioned that this does exist, it's doable, and so you can dress somebody up to look like Fauci as long as they got the kind of a New York accent, a little bit.
Well, I have a second shorter clip.
It's possible that maybe he had another throat procedure, because he did have a throat thing, if you recall.
He had to have a polyp removed or something.
Yeah, he's definitely got polyps.
Yeah, let's check it out.
And as you're talking about those other illnesses, with all of these spreading at the same time, it's a bit of a guessing game for parents about what is making their kids sick.
The symptoms are very similar.
What advice do you have for people?
Well, for parents who have children, and you had a person there that you were showing on the clip, who is describing quite accurately what happens with children.
They tend to get lethargic, they may get difficulty breathing, because children in that age group have very small airways that can get easily obstructed, making the flow of air and oxygen difficult for them.
So if you have a child who gets that way, has difficulty breathing, has lethargy, is a very important symptomatology of this, obviously call your physician and get medical care, because as you saw in the clip, sometimes these children require intensive care, including supplementary oxygen.
You see?
Intubate him!
Jam a tube down the throat.
That's our protocol.
Sick, sick, sick, sick, sick people.
Sick.
Hopefully not real sick children.
That would suck.
Gee, a kid who's got a cold?
The flu?
RSV, man.
RSV, whatever he's got.
And they're lethargic?
Who knew?
And one of our friends is back.
An old, old friend of the show.
This friend of the show pops up I think probably every seven years, maybe?
No, less than that.
Probably every three and a half, four years.
Our friend Vibrio Vulnificus.
Do you remember our good friend, uh, Vibrio?
No, I do not.
More than three weeks after Hurricane Ian devastated parts of Southwest Florida, its dangers persist.
This time in the form of a bacteria called Vibrio vulnificus.
Oh, yes, I remember.
Which lives in brackish waters and can enter the skin through open wounds, causing the skin to break down, which is why some call it a flesh-eating bacteria.
Yeah, baby!
The flesh-eating mamiba is back!
It can be treated with antibiotics, but spreads quickly, and causes death in one of every five people infected.
Bam!
Leah Delano's fiance, Jim Hewitt, traveled from Michigan to Naples, Florida to help a friend after the storm.
But a wound to his leg after falling into water became infected, and within a matter of days, Hewitt was gone.
Jim came down out of the goodness of his heart to help people, and ended up losing his life.
Yeah, it's...
It's been very, very difficult.
He really wouldn't have preferred to go any other way, though.
He was always helping people.
So far this year in Florida, there have been 65 reported cases and 11 deaths from the infection.
Officials say overall, 28 cases and 7 deaths are directly connected to the hurricane.
There's debris scattered all around us.
Christine Hollingsworth is with the Florida Department of Health in Collier County, where Jim Hewitt contracted the bacteria.
What's your message to the community about this bacteria?
Community?
If you have an open cut, sore or wound, first symptoms would be pain, soreness and redness around the area.
Seek medical attention immediately.
That would happen with almost anything, you get a little redness.
Seek medical attention immediately.
Call your provider.
Yeah, call your provider.
I feel we need to talk about Russia and Ukraine before we take a break.
I have a couple of clips.
Let me get us started off with just a little to set the stage.
This guy, Mick Wallace, Member of European Parliament from Ireland.
He's got the grey, crazy, long hair.
Kind of looks like he should be wearing sandals with wool socks.
Yeah, he looks like an unreconstructed hippie.
There you go.
Here's his latest rant, just to get us into the mood.
When Russia drops bombs on built-up areas in Ukraine, I have no doubt that the people in Ukraine underneath the bombs are terrorized.
It's a form of terrorism.
When the US-NATO bombed Afghanistan for 20 years, I killed several hundred thousand and displaced millions.
They were terrorizing the people.
A UN survey showed that US-NATO bombardments of civilians in Afghanistan, 45% of the people killed were children.
When the US killed over a million civilians in Iraq, was that terrorism?
When Israel terrorizes the Palestinian people every day, is that terrorism?
When France and the UK and others armed the Saudi UAE to commit genocide in Yemen where the UN said that over 400,000 are dead and 16 million are starving because of a genocide being carried out with the support of the US, the UK, France and several European states, is that terrorism?
When he's gonna wake up and start living in the real world?
That guy's a major downer, man.
Wow.
Damn, man, you bummin' me out.
Bummin' me out, brother.
Alright, what you got?
I got some updates, just some casual clips.
This one here is, uh, start with this one.
You got the, uh, oh yeah, the latest bombings.
The Russians got very annoyed by that bombing of their favorite bridge.
Yeah.
So they're blowing out the utilities companies left and right.
And by the way, I thought we just sent him a bunch of anti-aircraft and all these crazy, this gear we've sent billions of dollars worth of stuff.
It doesn't work.
Meanwhile, it doesn't work.
No, no, the problem is these Iranian suicide drones, they're made of, like, wood, and they don't have jet engines, they have, you know, very small combustion engines, but they have that cool delta wing, so they're not really the type of object, I guess, that the anti-aircraft stuff we gave them that it's good at.
Well, here we go.
Ukraine Utility Records.
This is an NPR report.
Ukraine's energy utility says damage from today's country-wide air raids has broken previous records.
From Kyiv, NPR's Ilyana Hryda reports.
All Ukraine was under orders to seek shelter from Russian bombardment this morning.
Officials in southern, central and western Ukrainian cities say the attacks seriously damaged electrical infrastructure there.
Ukrainerho, Ukraine's national power company, says that the latest attacks have caused even more damage than last week's unprecedented nationwide airstrikes.
The company is recommending Ukrainians ration even more energy after rolling blackouts have become regular in the past two weeks here.
A new report from the Kiev School of Economics found that even before these latest escalations, Ukraine had about $130 billion worth of damage to rebuild.
Yeah, I like that they already know the rebuilding.
I think they're planning rebuilding.
It feels like we're two to four months out of Resolution and Brechtel and KKR and all those guys getting their claws in.
I hear a lot of rebuilding talk.
Yeah, it's going to cost the American taxpayers.
But, you know, we will bill them eventually.
It's going to cost the taxpayers to do it and then Bechtel will bill the The Ukrainian said they'll get all the money to go to them, by the way.
To Bechtel.
Yeah, to Bechtel and the other guys.
KKR.
So here's a little note.
It's called Notes on the Iran Drones.
Iran Drones.
Iran is advising its citizens not to go to Ukraine, and it's urging ones already there to leave the country.
This comes after the US accused Iran of providing drone support to Russia.
We bring you some analysis from a key player in international diplomacy.
Please welcome Aryeh Lightstone, former Special Envoy for the Abraham Accords and author of Let My People Know.
Thank you for your time today, Aryeh.
Thank you for having me.
The White House says Iranian troops are directly engaged on the ground in Crimea, helping Russia use Iranian-made drones to attack Ukraine's power stations.
What is the significance of this?
We shouldn't be surprised by this.
If we can remember when the Russia invasion of Ukraine happened, the only place that Russia was invited in polite company at that point in time was when Russia was pushing America to get back into the Iran deal.
At that point in time I was on your station saying that we shouldn't be calling this the Iran deal, we should be calling it the Russia-Iran deal.
Russia and Iran are linked.
In a meaningful way, and therefore it's not surprising that when Russia needs reinforcements, that not only are they using Iranian technology, but they're using Iranian troops in order to perfect the use of that technology.
Now, was this also NPR or something else?
No, that was Liu Kang Dynasty.
My question is, how is Iran's supply of drones to Russia That much difference from our supply of anti-aircraft weapons, all kinds of military stuff to Ukraine.
Is there a fundamental difference I'm missing?
I carry water for Putin!
Shit, man, I'm sorry!
Let's see what Mike Miley, the famous head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has to say about the whole thing.
He's under Ukraine, Miley.
This fight is not just in Ukraine's interest.
It is in the global interest to protect, as the Secretary pointed out, the rules-based international order.
Oh!
And that is our purpose that has been given to us, the uniformed military, from our civilian leadership.
Really?
Which is to uphold the rules-based international order...
What?!
...that was established some 80 years ago at the conclusion of World War II.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
What?
That is not the mission of the armed forces of the United States.
It is to defend and uphold the Constitution.
Or am I missing something?
No, wrong!
This is wrong?
Wow, let me hear that again!
And that is our purpose that has been given to us, the uniformed military, from our civilian leadership.
Which is to uphold the rules-based international order that was established some 80 years ago at the conclusion of World War II.
Wow.
Look up, John.
Look up, look up, look up.
There it is.
It's coming right at you.
Clip of the day.
I don't know if you felt it was clip of the day worthy, but that's significant what this guy is saying.
Yep.
But he said it before, if you look in the clip, Ben, you'll find a longer version of that that he said, I think it was during the Obama administration, he gave a speech where he pretty much said the same thing in a less succinct way.
Hmm.
I wonder what, there is quite, well there's, yeah, there's a lot in here.
I have too much Miley stuff.
Yeah, really, your Miley stuff is out of control.
I'm a miley-miley guy.
Well, thanks for New Tang Dynasty for giving us some facts that we don't actually, you know, want to know.
Let's go back to American media.
I want to feel good.
I want to feel good about what we're doing.
Man, I'm having a hard time getting the noise gate right with you.
I don't know why.
Because if I turn it up to stop the speaker bleed back, then you are clipping.
Anyway.
Um, so yeah.
Maybe I could turn down my thing a little bit.
That would, might help.
Yeah.
Yeah.
My volume.
Oh, that thing.
Yeah.
Can you turn it down a bit?
The thing, the thing of the thing.
You know, the thing.
Test, test, test.
I knocked it down a couple of dBs.
A couple of dBs.
All right.
Okay, so back to feel-good land, ABC America this morning.
A Ukrainian company revealed its new body armor for children, designed to wear as they evacuate the war zone.
Another guy talks to us those.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, no, no, I like this guy a lot.
He's got good stuff.
So here's CBS Evening News with their quick update on the Iranian involvement.
The U.S.
says it has information that troops from Iran are on the ground supporting Russian drone attacks here in Ukraine.
As you know, Nora, Ukraine claims that Russia has ordered nearly two and a half thousand so-called kamikaze drones from Iran.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
So, sources say.
And then we have CBS with The Coup, which gives me more reason to believe resolution is coming in two to four months.
Finally, we have a CBS News crew embedded, embedded with the 101st Airborne.
They're America's go-to combat troops.
Go, go, go, go!
The soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division, now the closest U.S.
forces to the fight in Ukraine.
We joined Colonel Edwin Methodis and Brigadier General John Lubas on board a Black Hawk helicopter where we flew along the coast of the Black Sea, across those same waters from Russian-held territory in Ukraine, including Crimea.
I like the poor brigadier.
Well, we have two tasks, right?
To protect our allies and make sure our adversaries don't do anything.
Is that the exact same thing, just said differently?
Fully aware those adversaries have eyes on everything this close.
I like the poor brigadier.
Well, we have two tasks, right?
To protect our allies and make sure our adversaries don't do anything.
Is it the exact same thing just said differently?
Pretty much.
But the 101, the 101st, those are the guys.
So now we're close.
Idiots!
This is so unnecessary.
But here's where I think the real deal is going to come down to.
We know the Russian playbook, don't we?
We know what the Russians do.
This is clearly the Russian playbook.
Ukrainian President Zelensky delivered an ominous warning to European leaders, saying Russia may be planning to blow up a major dam and hydroelectric plant, and they blame the Ukrainians for it.
Zelensky accused Russia of already planting mines in the dam in southern Ukraine, adding an attack could flood 80 towns and villages.
Did he say planting mines?
Let me hear.
Zelensky accused Russia of already planting mines in the dam in southern Ukraine.
I can't hear it.
He says mines?
He said planting mimes.
He's got a bunch of French guys with white faces.
Wait, hear that again!
Adding an attack could flaw an 80- Oh, hold on.
Gotta go back further.
...in the dam in southern Ukr- He accused Russia of already planting mines in the dam in- Moms.
He says moms.
He said mimes.
Not really mimes.
Zelensky accused Russia of already planting mines in the- Planting monoms?
It's not mines.
He's not saying mines.
I don't know what he's saying.
Monoms.
Zelensky accused Russia of already planting mines in the dam.
Mines.
I think he needs some suit.
Mines.
I think it's mines.
You know what?
He doesn't know what he's doing.
But anyway, let's finish this.
The report is so short.
Zelensky accused Russia of already planting mines in the dam in southern Ukraine, adding an attack could flood 80 towns and villages along with the city of Kherson.
Zelensky says destroying the dam could cause cooling issues at the Zaporizhia power plant, Europe's largest nuclear power plant more than 100 miles upriver.
So, do you think this is a real... Isn't this the dam that they want gone because it's starving Crimea of the water?
Or am I misunderstanding this?
I don't know what the deal is with... I don't know.
You know, we'd have to look at some maps to see where this dam is, and if he knows there's mines, or memes, or whatever planted there, he should go take them out!
Yeah, what's up with that, Zelensk?
Vlad?
I totally agree.
But this seems to be the big deal.
Is it going to be a false flag?
Will the Ukrainians do it?
By the way, why do they need to plant anything?
They could just do that thing with a couple of cruise missiles, which would easily hit it.
They can't miss that target.
Isn't that kind of the tell?
That it could be done?
What's the tell?
Well, the tell is, oh, they've planted mines.
Okay, yeah.
I mean, we could just target a missile, as you say.
Boom, done.
No, we have to plant mines?
What is this, like, we're blowing up the railroad bridge with Jesse James?
Yeah, sounds like a World War II scenario.
It does, exactly.
That wooden bridge with all the struts, and the train goes over it, and just before it's gonna blow up, you jump out of the train?
Yeah.
I think that's it.
Makes total sense.
And 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 foxy.
Ladies and gentlemen, please say hello to my friend on the other end, Mr. John C. DeMora!
Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Andrew Kerr.
You know, in the morning I'll shut the sea boots and the raffia in the air.
Subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
And in the morning to the trolls in the troll room, who are always here.
You know, what happens is the troll Pied Piper is Darren O'Neill.
And Darren does the two hour rock and roll pre-show before we get on the air, Thursdays and Sundays.
I really want to thank him.
Because he gets everyone all jacked up and all excited, so... Let's count the trolls!
Hello, trolls!
Oh, stop scurrying away, I can't count you.
Stop!
Okay, here we go.
2136 for today's troll count.
Oh, what are we drinking?
Uh, this time it is a... Let me get my glasses out so I can read the label.
I'm glad, because otherwise you're just drinking stuff you don't even know what it is.
It's a Perrier Mystere Potion.
It's got a skull.
I'm telling you the truth.
This is Perrier.
It's got a skull.
Like a Mexican Day of the Dead skull on the label.
Perrier?
Perrier?
Yeah, Perrier.
And it had, I could, you know, put a picture up.
Yeah, I'd like to see that.
But it's actually, what it is, it's blackberry flavored bubbly water.
Wow, you're drinking red dye number three.
This is great.
No, it's not.
It's absolutely clear.
It's totally clear.
There's not a color.
It has no color.
Well then how can it taste like raspberry if it has no color?
Blackberry.
Blackberry.
Nice knowing ya.
Well, it's obviously flavored with blackberry and just the extract, I guess.
I don't know.
It doesn't have any color.
It's a mistake.
I think this is a failed product.
If it was actually purple, it would do well.
Yeah, and call it drink.
Call it Perrier purple drink.
So, are you now purposely picking these up or is this another gift at checkout?
No, this is another, uh, a bargain, uh, that I found at the grocery outlet.
It's from the bargain bin?
You're drinking from the bargain bin?
I just want to make sure I understand.
And it, you see what it sounds like when it goes into the pile?
No.
Sounds very cheap.
All right, so we have 2,193 trolls, noagendastream.com, but if you want to get the full experience, go to trollroom.io.
That's where you get this live stream 24-7.
It's always available for you.
And you can hop right into the chat, start trolling along, do whatever you feel like you want to do.
And I'm going to keep promoting the apps that do this, because I really love how modern podcast apps like Podverse And CurioCaster, now in the same app where you get the podcast, boom, you get a notification when we go live, so if you're able to listen to it, and the chat room is right in the app as well, so check those out, and all of the new podcast apps, newpodcastapps.com.
Of course, we have our Mastodon social network, which is becoming really cool.
I think it's so important people are able to communicate in that environment, even from other Mastodon servers to kind of reach out to Gitmo Nation.
And we're nearing the end of the 10,000 limit.

And thank you very much, uh, at Aaroner for, uh, for running the show because man, it's a lot of work that he does.
A lot of work really appreciated.
All out of his house with his neighbor has backups or something.
It's crazy.
It's a gaffer tape.
It's good stuff.
Thank you very much Sir Paul Couture, not just the artist who brought us the artwork for episode 1496 titled Deport Greta!
But he also envisioned and runs the current No Agenda Art Generator with over 27,000 individual pieces of art, all of which have been considered for album art and for all kinds of great... Man, have you been to noagendashop.com lately?
They got a lot of new products.
They got bottle openers and cool stuff now.
Yeah, they got the right idea how to do that kind of work.
Yeah, so and the artists get compensated and the shop donates to us and there's no contracts, no meetings, everybody's happy.
So, Sir Paul Couture made a kind of an interesting piece.
With something I'd initially wanted to use as a title, which was deprecated and decentralized, which in hindsight was probably a little too many... Letters.
Letters!
Too much letters!
Too many letters!
Too many letters!
Yeah, he's obviously been watching Turner Classic movies recently, and I think that's triggered him.
What I liked in this image It was all old stuff, but highly recognizable for me, because that grey telephone you see there, that is the telephone I grew up with in socialist Netherlands.
That is exactly, and later, where'd it go now?
I don't see it.
Right, submit, where is it?
Accepted, it should be here.
Yeah, there it is.
So, that gray telephone with the dial on the front, so later, because you weren't allowed to unplug it, you weren't allowed to touch it, you could only have that phone.
Yeah, you leased it.
You leased it?
You never owned it.
Correct.
And later, they said, well, we're now going to introduce colors.
I'm like, oh, this is cool.
And the color you got, You didn't get a new phone.
No, they had snap-ons.
So you could snap a new body onto the phone and onto the receiver in a different color.
Like a plastic snap-on.
Yeah.
The Collins microphone, I recognize, because I have one of those.
Then there's a, which looks like a, what is it, Nikon?
Maybe it says Kodak.
I can't see.
You know, a traditional camera, a television with a dial for VHF, UHF, and a radio with a dial.
In a traveling suitcase with a big gramophone honker horn.
I mean, how can you go wrong for two old dudes?
This is right up our alley.
And the fact that nothing else tickled us.
Well, no, I liked a piece.
I used it on the newsletter.
Which one?
The climate change diet?
That's the one you wanted the most.
No.
The one I wanted, the one I wanted, I think we both wanted the most was the burning Tesla logo on fire.
Why didn't we use that?
Because it's the Tesla, because it's unfair.
It's, it's, it's mean.
Uh, I like the no agenda, the one title ice cream economy with the, with the, with the girl upside down ice cream cone.
Uh, melting.
Yeah, that was, uh, super, uh, super, uh, what do we call it?
Cheesecake.
Cheesecake, yeah.
It was cheesecake-y.
It was very cheesecake-y, and just, ugh.
Yeah, I know, it offended you, but it probably would offend the lady folk.
You and the women.
It didn't offend me.
See, now you're trying to do... No!
And then you call me ladyfolk.
You're a mean bastard.
No, I said you and a ladyfolk.
Yeah, I hear you.
You're a mean bastard.
A mean bastard.
Yeah, and a lot of people are doing just kind of hodgepodges, which...
Well, I think we didn't really give him a lot to go on, except for the burning car.
We're not going to use that.
In fact, even the one from Paul Couture was a total hodgepodge, but it worked.
And it was also the most artsy.
A lot of it has to do with the quality of the art.
That's why I liked the ice cream cone one.
Yeah, it was high quality.
Because Cap was the gentleman who put together a piece of pretty art.
Yeah, it was high quality.
Definitely high quality.
I liked the EV bomb.
It was simple from Dirty Jersey Whore, but I think it was too simple.
Maybe.
It had good elements.
I liked how the bomb, the wick worked and everything.
But no, overruled because John couldn't stop looking at the upside-down melted ice cream cone with the hottie straddling it.
Do you see how creepy that is?
No, actually, the bomb, the bomb one that you said you liked for a while, it was, it was beyond too simple.
Okay.
Well, you're the expert.
About simplicity, yes.
I'm a minimalist.
Yeah, I know.
Could you please post a picture of your office so we can prove this minimalism?
Sir Paul Couture, thank you so much.
We really appreciate the Art Generator and of course all of the artists who participate diligently doing this live at home, at work, during school.
Who knows what they're doing when they're just coming up with these crazy ideas.
They're all appreciated.
They're all fun to look at.
And you can look at them in real time by going to knowagenartgenerator.com.
Or those newfangled podcast apps.
Now let us thank some more value for value that came in, as all we ever ask is, hey, what value did you get out of the program?
Maybe just keeping you company on a trip, maybe help you fall asleep.
A lot of people listen to us to fall asleep, which doesn't really make me feel good, but if it helps you.
And so we ask you to translate that into into a number and send it off to us You can find more information at Dvorak org slash na we kick it off with our executive producers true Hollywood forever credits with Tammy McClain from Steelville, Missouri and She says in the morning donation of 1497 dot 54 And this has not happened in maybe a year, months and months and months.

Yeah, Tamjos, I would think.
Tamjos of Bricky Hill.
Where's Bricky Hill?

Live, love, laugh it off, otherwise we may cry.
Karma for all, because what goes around comes around.
From Tammy McLean, Steelville, Missouri.
Other info, no request for the roundtable, just sharped and respect.
Oh, okay.
I looked these up for you earlier.
She wants some Sharpton respect, and it's true, and then some karma, and I, and she does say, we don't need to say it to reference it, but I think it's nice to know.
Show 1330, she established a knighthood in her dad's memory, Sir Gerald, barber and farmer of central Kansas.

It's unbelievable!
Sir, dude named Jeff from Westlake, Ohio.
I believe there's no connection here.
No, I don't think so.
$14.97.
Woo-hoo!
Mom considers $14.97 to be our family's lucky number.
Wow, that's a lucky number for you.
Usually it's five.
I also wanted to donate to a show number amount, become a show club member.
I love the humor and keep making fun of the douchebags in the clips.
This donation moves me up to Baron.
I humbly request an upgrade to... to...

And Lucid Map is very simple.
It just says, Climate Gates, Chemtrails.
To the gate, to the gate, to the climate gates.
Chemtrails.
By Ayn Rand.
So now we have Timothy Moore in Dallas, Texas at $333, and there's no note for him.
So I'll continue with Rita Harrington.
$222.22 from Sparks.
Good old Sparks, Nevada near Reno.
No note from her.
Shall I do a little double up for both of them then?
Yes, please.
Karma.
All righty.
Which brings us to Beck Banshee from Denton, Texas.
200.33.
There's our magic number.
Beck Banshee!
Oh, biscuit for my birthday.
Sorry, did I bring the biscuits?
Shoot.
Yes, I have a biscuit for you here.
They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
A biscuit on my birthday, 10.10, please.
10.10, hmm.
Turn, oh, 10.10, turn the big 33.
This must be late, I'm not sure.
My smoking hot husband asked what I wanted, and...
I said to donate and get the long version of the Al Sharpton montage.
Love you.
Love you guys.
When are we meeting up in Bastrop again?
So is this for... Hmm.
I'm not sure if Beck Banshee?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I'm not sure who gets the birthday biscuit here.
Do you understand this one?
Biscuit on my birthday, 10-10.
Yeah, I think Beck does.
Okay, good.
Well, and we have Al Sharpton by request, the long one.
Thanks to you, Ed.
Is this crown hog day two?
We are watching.
That was Attorney General Eric Holder.
ABDs about some Republicans at home are already beating the drums of war.
Today, the Pentagon refuted that claim.
And he said the American people do not want him to quote They do not want him dwindling his thumbs.
You can get a gig as a contortionist.
Intravenous fluids and pills coated with gelatin.
We don't leave our women or men in uniform behind.
It's a monument to the hubris of Dick Cheney.
Representative Raul Ara Labrador.
For years of abuse, I personally apologize to Mr. Peavis.
Just ask.
to be former congressman.
Democrats are outright jitty.
CIA's counter-terrorism center.
Veteran Affairs Secretary Shinsketti.
Why do I always mess up his name?
Shinsketti.
I love my critics.
I have fun with that.
Now, there you go.
That's a birthday present right there.
The long, sharpened mess up.
Wow.
Okay, now this is a Dutch name, and I would guess it would be pronounced Anamika.
It's Anamika.
Anamika?
There's a K at the end?
If you look at the note, you'll see that she spells it with a K, an E at the end.
Oh, I see.
Okay, I look at the note.
Anamika.
Oh, that would make more sense.
But she's not in Holland, she's in... Florida.
Pontevedra Beach in Florida.
200 bucks, a nicer place to be.
ITM John and Adam, call to action.
I'd like my favorite podcast to stay afloat.
Keep up the good work.
Slowly making my way to damehood love from Florida.
Met Vrindaica Grote?
Close.
Yes.
Anamika Holder.
And what does that all mean?
Well, so we know Anamika because we met her at the Charleston meetup, the South Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina meetup with her husband.
And she is Dutch.
She definitely comes from an elite Dutch family.
I'm just going to put it out there.
And she escaped.
Which is good.
Because she could have easily been snapped up by the king or by a prince and probably married one of those.
But no, she got a cool dude in Florida.
So when she says, Met vriendelijke groot, that means, with very friendly greetings from Annemiek Holder.
And she has hashtag 75 hard, hashtag CNTK.
Which means?
Well, she is in my wife, The Keeper, Tina's 75 hard group, which you called a fad.
I don't remember calling it a fad.
It must have been a fad.
You called it a fad on DH Unplugged.
Well, explain to me what I did.
Well, Horowitz said, well, Tina the Keeper, she's doing 75 hard, which is all this workout and no alcohol for 75 days.
Oh, the 75 hard faddish workout, yeah.
And you did say something correct, which is, her not drinking is ruining our show.
Not this one, but the show I do with her.
The other show.
Yeah, the show that you love so much.
I do!
I do love it so much.
Anamika, thank you so much.
And they're on, I think, day 50 now.
So, the end is in sight of the insanity of 75 Hard.
And she didn't ask for any jingles, but I'll give her some goat karma.
Thank you very much.
And a pretty short segment today, once again.
Yeah, very short.
We do appreciate very much these executive and associate executive producers who get their forever credits.
So, you're an associate executive producer for episode 1497 of The No Agenda Show.
You can even say, comma, the best podcast in the universe.
Put it anywhere where credits are recognized and appreciated.
Even Hollywood will appreciate and recognize these.
Just go look at who has one of those in their IMDB.
Big names as well.
If you'd like to learn more, go to our website!
Thanks again for bringing the time, the talent, and the treasure to episode 1497!
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Milk!
Water!
Order!
Shut up, slave!
Shut up, slave!
Now, are we planning anything for the 15th on Thursday?
We're just doing a show, right?
Well, it's going to be the week.
The whole week.
In other words, the anniversary actually starts on Sunday.
And it goes through the next Sunday.
Then it goes to show 1500.
So it's going to be a big celebration.
No, no, no.
I don't understand.
If the 26th is Wednesday, isn't our anniversary on Wednesday and then the week starts Thursday?
You want to start it?
Because people are going to be confused now.
I don't think there's any confusion.
I'm confused.
It's the 15th anniversary week.
So we don't celebrate Thursday, we celebrate the week, starting the week after that.
No, Sunday is coming up.
Today is Sunday.
Oh no, I'm sorry.
What am I thinking?
I've got the wrong calendar.
Thank you.
Now give me that same attitude as you apologize.
I'm sorry.
Okay, good.
So Thursday starts our week.
Thursday will be the big day.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
Today is 23rd.
It actually starts today, then.
And then we could get a very lousy turnout.
But officially, since it's right next to it, it'll be Thursday.
So the newsletter will come out on the anniversary.
So the newsletter will celebrate the 15th anniversary.
And then we move on to show 1500.
So you forgot to promote birthday week because you thought it was on Thursday.
I, you know, I guess I'm the only one who forgot what day it is.
No, I forget all the time what day it is.
But I don't... Big, big newsletter day, the 26th, big week.
Big week.
But this is, this, we'll consider this the week that it was.
Okay.
Good.
All right.
So, so, yeah, so we're going to celebrate, I guess.
Well, just by doing a show.
No, we're gonna have a special promotion.
Okay, but we're still doing a show with a special promotion.
We're doing a show?
Hold on, thank you.
Opening, that's beautiful.
We'll take that one.
We're doing a show?
Oh, goodness.
Okay, let's see.
I got a note from Brunetti.
Oh, a film producer to the stars.
You know, he's always, he's like you.
Oh, you know, Hollywood's dead, blah, blah, blah.
He's one of those guys.
Yeah.
And of course, then when you, uh, you know, he's still working.
You know, I thought he's all, I've come moving up to the middle of nowhere.
I'm going to, you know, blah, blah, blah.
Uh, well, he finally got that.
He's working.
He's, he's in meetings.
He's got the meetings.
So here's an interesting little story.
He said I could read this.
Oh, okay.
Let me ask a question.
Even though I'm kind of the Hollywood guy of our dynamic duo-ness, you're the guy that's just hanging out and chatting with Brunetti all the time?
Yeah.
Aw, jeez.
Because he doesn't want some guy who's always hitting him up for, you know, can I get a part in the deal?
Can I be a producer?
Which would be you.
That would be what Hollywood guys do.
Exactly.
No, what he wants is the guy that goes, hey man, well, how come I can't get a bit part in one of your movies?
That's you.
That's you.
He already told me, he's already told me the bit part idea is off for me, as good as an actor that I obviously am by listening to these.
My emoting on here.
He said it's off is never gonna be a chance.
That's it.
That's done He did that early in the game smart smart man.
Okay, so now you're just friends Yeah, and not brown nosing.
Okay.
All right.
So what I can't make anyway I can you know, so he's taught, you know, we talked about the guy the missing guy the James Gordon meet guy.
I Poof!
Disappeared.
This is the journalist that the FBI invaded his apartment.
He's not there.
The place is empty.
He's worked for all the big networks.
He just disappeared off the face of the earth.
Yeah, this is quite interesting.
It's still going on.
So he sends this note.
I was negotiating with him.
Oh!
And Scott Mann, the guy who did Green Beret, I guess, or he has a green beret, one of the two, on their upcoming, probably is a green beret, on their upcoming book, about the Pineapple Express and the pullout of Afghanistan when he disappeared.
Yes, this is part of the story because he did that documentary about the ambush where the four Americans died in Somalia, I want to say.
It was covered up by the army.
It was ISIS stuff.
In an African country.
It's crazy, I don't even know what it was.
We don't know anything!
There's no reporting.
So, and yes, it was the Pineapple Express, which is another story that the military-industrial complex doesn't want coming out.
Should we start war... I mean, you might want to talk to your Hollywood friend, Dana, and say, how many warnings does he need?
Don't be a part of that deal!
When he disappeared, he and his reps told me he was having family problems as he went from constant calls and texts to very little and then nothing.
I thought it was a negotiating tactic and didn't think much of it.
It still could be Hollywood.
It could still be.
I like that.
No, wait!
Go ahead.
You finish and I'll tell you.
I know what's going on.
Go ahead.
The book ultimately went with another producer and thus I stopped communicating with them and didn't think much of that either, but just recently found out about the FBI raid and his disappearance.
Crazy stuff, and he and Scott, Scott Mann, were definitely tied in with some high-level stuff and were pissing people off at the White House.
Scott was summoned to DC during our negotiations, though he is still around as far as I know.
Scott, the other guy.
So then I asked him about this book, and the book's It seems to have disappeared too, which is, I think, a function here.
And then in the second note, I don't have it in front of me, but I'll just tell you what he said.
He said that, yeah, the whole thing was peculiar looking back on it because it turns out that he was going to sign with another producer.
But the problem was, as far as Brunetti's concerned, is that the other producer didn't have a studio.
Brunetti was negotiating with a studio.
And that means if he accepted their terms, they would have been on their way to making a movie.
The other producer still has to find a studio.
So that that was peculiar.
I'm thinking the other producer was a spook or something.
And it was, that's what I'm thinking.
I mentioned this to him.
He said, maybe.
And so this whole thing is getting, this is getting pretty interesting.
But the book, this book is what we got to find.
So it sounds to me like this Scott guy, the Green Beret, he said, dude, you're getting ripped off.
We're getting ripped off here.
This Brunetti character is like low balling.
Now listen to me.
Low balling us.
This other douchebag doesn't even have a studio.
Let's ratchet this crack up a little.
Let's ratchet it up a little bit.
All right?
You're going to disappear.
And it's going to be really mysterious.
And this is going to build and build and build.
Then we're going to cut the deal of a lifetime.
Brunetti's being played!
You know, what you just said is a distinct possibility.
But Brunetti was seen as a negotiating tactic.
But Brunetti has juice, man.
Brunetti has juice in Hollywood.
Do you know how much juice Brunetti has?
What is he famous for?
He's famous for some hot movies.
Social Network.
House of Cards.
Dana Brunetti.
The Grey Zone movies.
The House of Grey.
What is it called?
The Grey Diaries.
What are those things called?
What are those movies?
There's three of them.
Fifty Grey Diaries of Houses.
Fifty shades of Grey Diaries.
No, this dude has so much juice.
He got Kevin Spacey off.
This morning, actor Kevin Spacey found not liable in a sexual battery case dating back to the 1980s.
Mr. Spacey is deeply grateful for the jury system and for this jury in particular.
It took the jury less than 90 minutes to agree Spacey did not molest fellow actor.
Anthony Rapp, who was seeking $40 million in damages.
Rapp accused Spacey of assaulting him when he was 14 years old and Spacey was 26 in Spacey's New York apartment.
Rapp's attorney claimed Spacey's story was inconsistent and not worthy of your belief.
Spacey denied the accusations, pointing to the fact that he had a studio apartment at the time, not a one-bedroom, as Rapp alleged.
This was a highly intelligent, highly educated jury.
They're very, very bright people and they could see right through this.
Rapp's allegations were the first among several against Spacey at the beginning of the Me Too era.
There's no better way to overpower a trickle of doubt than with a flood of naked truth.
Spacey's career was soaring at the time with the hit Netflix show House of Cards.
He was dropped from the series and his acting career has stalled.
Rap, best known for his role on TV's Star Trek Discovery, did not speak after the verdict, but tweeted in part.
Bringing this lawsuit was always about shining a light as part of the larger movement to stand up against all forms of sexual violence.
This wasn't the only sexual assault allegation against Spacey.
In 2019, he faced charges of groping a man at a Massachusetts bar.
Prosecutors later dropped the charges.
And three months ago, he pleaded not guilty in London to charges he sexually assaulted three men.
That criminal trial is due to start next year.
Spacey was also ordered to pay nearly 31 million dollars to the makers of House of Cards for violating his contract by allegedly sexually harassing crew members.
Boom!
There it is!
Brunetti's rolling in the dough.
He says, listen man, you just pay the 31 mil, or get all the other charges dropped.
Man, I'm telling you, Brunetti's got the juice in Hollywood.
He runs Hollywood.
Do you remember that crazy video that Kevin Spacey did as his character on House of Cards?
Yeah, it was kind of nutty.
Was it this clip?
Do you have a clip?
I think I do.
Was it this one?
Weird clip.
Maybe it's this one.
She says Spacey insisted that her son go... No, that's not... I don't remember... I don't think we have it for some reason.
That's weird.
I'm pretty sure we have it.
Somewhere, but it's not under Spacey.
Well, then we'll never find it.
Probably not.
I mean seriously, I'm just saying that the guy's got the juice.
I wish, you know, I find it to be disappointing for the public for Spacey to be such a weirdo because he's such a fun actor.
I mean, I first saw Spacey in a TV series called Wise Guy, where he played, I think the last name was Proctor, and it was him and a famous model who was very, very attractive, and the two of them played brother and sister, criminals, as part of a
of a famous kind of an underground criminal organization and they were incestual, which I thought was pretty advanced for the TV at the time.
So there were two of them were having sex more often than not.
And so Spacey's introduction pretty much to the public was stuff like kind of offbeat stuff.
You know, you know what?
I would right now like to make an option.
I'll offer to option his life story.
Spaceys?
No, Dana Brunetti.
Dana Brunetti.
I was a Hollywood hitman.
I want his life story.
I'd like to option it.
That's a good name for a guy who does hits.
That's right.
Exactly.
You see, it's double entendre.
That's a good title.
Hello!
Hello!
It's rare for you to come up with a great title.
You are such... I come up with every title of this show every single episode.
It's rare, he says.
It's rare.
Every single title.
Here, take that.
Take that.
Take that.
No, I'm telling you.
I want to option his life story.
And I'm gonna, you know, we'll figure it out.
We'll crowdfund it.
This guy has stories.
He has stories.
He's the best.
He's a pretty good storyteller.
He has the stories.
He has the stories.
Open invitation for me to buy those rights from you.
Why are you going to buy?
He's got... Okay.
I'm going to crowdfund it.
I'm going to get... We're going to raise a hundred million dollars.
Well, crowdfunding is a good idea.
He could go for that.
Yeah.
Well, he's going to have to spend his own money.
Meanwhile, another story that one day will be fabulous to read is the Laura Logan story.
She's my neighbor, as many, just down the road here, up the road, in Hill Country, Texas.
And she has not had a good go of her mainstream experience.
And sadly, you know what, when we met, which is well over... She was on CBS for a long time.
Yeah, she was on 60 Minutes, but she messed up there.
I can't really remember what she messed up with 60 Minutes.
It had to do with the crystal thing and her doing, she did a dry lab of some something or other.
Oh, she embarrassed McChrystal, was that it?
No, no, that was part of it, but the real reason was that she had phonied up a report.
Really?
Yeah, it was something like that.
You can look it up, it's on the Wikipedia.
That's quite the accusation, but okay.
It's not an accusation, it's kind of what happened.
Well, I don't know.
It was harmless.
It was harmless.
Okay.
They were looking to get rid of her.
That's what I think.
So then, you know, when we met her and her husband, you know, it wasn't now a year ago, they're like, no, no, but you can't be doing alternatives.
We've got to keep pounding at the mainstream.
This is, they want people to walk away.
I'm like, are you crazy?
I shouldn't have asked that because yes, Um, man, she was steadfast.
I gotta stay on the mainstream.
So then she was Fox Nation and she had all that going for her.
That's not mainstream.
If anything's not mainstream, that's it.
No, but she got the Judge Jeanine hit, you know, quick news hits where she could then promote what she was doing on Fox Nation.
So she'd be on Judge Jeanine before she moved to the Five, and Hannity, and sometimes she'd be on Tucker.
And then she had her series about the border, which of course was a good series, but obviously long, tedious, and no one saw it because it's on Fox Nation.
Um, and then she got kicked off of all of Fox properties, including Fox Nation, because she compared Fauci to Dr. Mengele.
Okay, all right, this is a minor oversight.
But now she was still getting on Newsmax, Newsmax, and she got kicked off Newsmax.
What would you get?
How could you?
Wait, how can you possibly, anyone, get kicked off Newsmax?
Well, I have the two clips that did it.
Let's start, and she was already on rocky ground as she started off telling everybody what the core problem in the world is.
It's right out of the playbook.
The right out of the socialist playbook.
You divide and conquer, you don't tell them your intent, you get people to come in, you get your useful idiots, those of us who are paying for these people to have all these luxuries, and they lie about it.
How does it end?
Well, badly.
It's bad for some.
Okay, so on a serious note, you know, people of all faiths have said to me that this is a spiritual battle.
I am a firm and solid and immovable believer in God.
And I believe that God wins.
I believe that good is greater than evil.
And I believe that the fallen angel, otherwise known as Satan, doesn't get to prevail in this world.
So, if you follow the Bible, or if you follow the Quran, or you follow the Book of Mormon, you know, people talk in various different ways about the end times.
And if you fight for God, God will fight for you.
This is a very big problem for news mainstream in America.
You can't be talking positive about God.
So I think she put herself on notice with this.
And then to say, you know, Satan is real, and if you fight for God, God will fight for you.
But that, still, I think she could have remained a fine commentator for Newsmax, but this is where it all went downhill.
Final thought, though, I have to ask you this, because my audience is very God-fearing, God-loving, etc.
Final thought, only a couple of seconds, please.
Is God okay with a closed border?
What kind of question is that?
It's much bigger than that.
God believes in sovereignty and national identity and the sanctity of family and all the things that we've lived with from the beginning of time.
And he knows that the open border is Satan's way of taking control of the world through all of these people who are his stooges and his servants.
And they may think that they're going to become gods.
That's what they tell us, Yuval Noah Harari.
And all the rest of them at the World Economic Forum.
You know, the ones who want us eating insects, cockroaches, and that while they dine on the blood of children?
Those are the people, right?
They're not gonna win!
They're not going to win.
I think it was saying that they dine on the blood of children that might have pushed Newsmax over the edge.
Which, by the way, I don't think is cancel-worthy at all.
Well, not on Newsmax, but the point is...
Well, a couple of things.
First of all, the thing that you left out of your clippage, and I don't know if it is clippable, because I've never found it, but I've heard about it, that she said that she was at the UN and someone was telling her that the United Nations has a policy about wanting open borders, especially our southern border.
We played that weeks ago.
Well, play it again then.
Okay, hold on a second.
logan because i think that's more likely to get her expunged than just christian rant while i'm looking that up listen to her talking about don't walk away from the m5m And you know what's disturbing about it, Greg, is they actually want you not to believe what's right in front of you.
We can all see it, but they're saying, no, don't believe reality, right?
We're going to create a safe zone where you can be one of 230 something pronouns And you can change your gender 32 times in a day because, believe me, there's even memes about that.
And the southern border cannot exist.
It can be wide open.
You can have over a million illegal immigrants coming in.
And by the way, we're just going to remove the word illegal and only talk about it as if it's migrants and it'll all just go away.
Actually, if you look at the political agenda, they don't care about the chaos.
They don't care about the crime rate going up.
They don't care about the people in the inner cities in Minneapolis whose life is that much harder.
They actually want that.
Because when you create that chaos, you get to be the solution.
And they want us to give up on our media and our institutions, our FBI and our DOJ.
They want you to say, no, I'm giving up.
You know why?
Because they have such a tiny bit of support.
And if we all give up, it's the only form of victory that has to be given.
You cannot win it.
They want all of us to give them that victory.
And that's why it's so important for Americans to not accept that they're so divided because it's not true.
Yeah.
And for us not to surrender.
Yeah, so that was probably part of the violation.
Oh, really?
No.
No, no, no.
You're gone.
We're voting you off.
I can't find it.
I remember distinctly that she said this about the About the UN, the cheat, maybe it was a blog post, maybe it was written and it wasn't a clip, possibly.
Well, I've never heard the clip.
So, but let's get back to this.
I think the Christian thing should be, for news, what was it, News Nation or Newsmax?
Newsmax, Newsmax.
Uh, these guys, you know, are lucky to have anybody of her caliber, whether she's a little loopy or not.
It's unbelievable that they, they throw off for that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because they're, they're, they're not a, I wouldn't even put him in the grade B or C or D maybe D quality product.
They have stuff once in a while that's interesting, but it's not... You know, they don't put their... Their energy is scattered.
It's a weird place.
Anyway, that's too bad.
Yeah, it feels like there's got to be so much good that she can do, but she's really got to get her own thing together.
She's relying on these crutches.
She is a talented journalist.
Yes.
And she can have her opinions, which she probably should keep to herself.
Just as a tip from your No Agenda crew.
Here's an advice from John.
Keep your opinions to yourself.
They'll let you go mega-churches.
You can go to a mega-church and say whatever you want.
What she said in those clips, if she was at a mega-church and she said all that stuff to the fawning audience, it would do her a lot of good because that audience in the mega-church, I'm talking about a church that has at least 10,000 people.
In the audience, they are appreciative and they would go, they'd be loyal to her.
But to broadcast it on the stations themselves, there's too many outliers and snipers and haters.
Yeah, well, they went after, I mean, come on, they went after advertisers, someone went after advertisers of Newsmax, or maybe, God forbid, they might, well, they might have gone after Spectrum.
Or Cablevision or whatever, Comcast.
And said, hey!
We're going to cause some crap here.
Get her off, or you're going to lose your income.
They're threatened taking Newsmax off, because it's probably... Well, there it is.
There it is.
Not solid.
If you take News... You know, I pay for the cable.
And the cable, you know, I expect to have good programming on the cable.
And I'm turning it around from channel to channel.
I get this... I don't know what this is.
Newsmax?
And there's some woman ranting about Satan.
You know, is this religious programming?
It seems to be.
It says news.
It just sounds like a religious program.
I don't get it.
That's right.
And I wonder what Newsmax's audience is now.
That entire spiel seems right up their alley with your typical Christian conservative audience.
Yeah.
And so they are, they are in fact the Judas, they are the Judas!
Now looking at Ye for a second, speaking of the ministry of truthiness, if you have a copy of the Ye interview, the controversial interview on your Google Drive, it gets removed, which, hello, how about Nextcloud everybody, set up your own stuff to Come on, how dumb can you be after all these years?
And then my favorite is, you know, after Ye calls out the Jewish media and the Jewish people for keeping the black man down, Ari Emanuel said, hey, stop doing business with him!
The agent?
The Hollywood guy?
Yeah, the self-fulfilling prophecy.
What's he got to do with anything?
He's Jewish, of course.
So what?
Nosing his business into everyone else's affair?
Nothing funnier than him saying, okay, don't work with Kanye West because he's so racist.
There's an irony to the Jewish guy doing exactly what Kanye accused him of.
Thank you.
That is indeed the irony.
Hilarious.
All right, more clips.
Okay, yes, I have some, but I think it's your turn to grab the wheel here.
I'm going to do some China stuff.
Oh, goody, goody, China stuff.
Let's go with the UK versus... Now, this is why I listen to New Tang Dynasty, because they have stuff, when it comes to China, they have great material.
It's their beat, it's their beat, let's be honest.
You haven't heard about this?
This is the UK versus China in Manchester, UK.
Britain has warned that diplomatic consequences will follow if China does not waive immunity for officials charged with assaulting a protester at the Chinese consulate in Manchester.
PMs press the government to go further and take action before the police investigation concludes, but the consulate denies dragging the protester in.
Foreign Office Minister Jesse Norman told MPs that the Chinese ambassador has been summoned over the incident that a Hong Kong pro-democracy campaigner was dragged into the grounds of the Chinese consulate in Manchester and beaten.
We have made it absolutely clear to the Chinese embassy that the apparent behaviour of Consulate General officials during the incident, as it appears from the footage, which even now more of which is coming out as we discuss this, is completely unacceptable.
Greater Manchester Police have started an investigation and said it's a complex and sensitive inquiry and may take some time.
Norman said the Foreign Secretary will wait for the result of the independent police investigation.
And let me be clear that if the police determine that there are grounds to charge any officials, we would expect the Chinese consulate to waive immunity for those officials.
If they do not, then diplomatic consequences will follow.
This is odd, because I did see this story come up, I'm glad you got the clips.
Didn't this same, so basically you have Chinese CCP party embassy workers, people come up to demonstrate, they open the gates, go out there and roust them, beat their heads.
Isn't this exactly what happened in DC at the Chinese embassy?
Didn't this happen before?
A couple years ago?
I think it also happened in San Francisco at the consulate.
They don't have an embassy here.
They used to have the Falun Gong.
It used to be outside this place over in San Francisco all the time.
It's out there.
Anyway, let's go to part two.
Conservative former leader Sir Ian Duncan Smith used an urgent question in the House of Commons to ask about the role of the Chinese Consul General Zhang Shiyuan.
Zhang admitted to Sky News that he had pulled the hair of the protester and said it was his duty because the protester had insulted his country and his leader.
But I now urge the government to be much, much clearer than just using diplomatic language.
I urge the government to make it clear in the light of this new evidence that it's not just unacceptable that any consular individual should have taken part in anything like this, but ...that any consulate individual who has proved to have been one of the perpetrators of this outrageous and violent attack on Mr Chen will be made persona non grata immediately and sent back to China.
The attacked Hong Kong protester spoke at a press conference in central London on Wednesday.
Bob Chang said he and others were holding a peaceful anti-government protest outside the consulate on Sunday when masked men came out, tore down the protesters' banners and dragged them inside the building's gates.
Because I was near the gates.
They pulled me inside.
Police tried to pull me back out but didn't succeed.
So in the end I was pulled inside and was beaten up.
Chang said consulate staff beat his eye and the corner of his left eye was swollen.
His head and back still hurts.
The worst part is his spine and there are some internal injuries.
He had to be rescued by a police officer who would not normally be allowed on consulate grounds without permission due to fears for his safety.
Wow.
So there was a tug of war with this character at the gate, and the police are trying to keep him from getting pulled into the consulate, but the police guy lost because he couldn't go in there.
And so as soon as they got him past the gate, they beat the crap out of him.
What were they protesting?
It was just a Hong Kong protest, you know, these are Hong Kongers and they were protesting the crackdown of freedom of speech and the rest of it, you know, and they were right in front of the, you know, the Chinese embassy, which is where you do that sort of thing.
It happens all the time.
Yeah.
But they were very, the Chinese weren't putting up with it.
It's clip three.
I believe the UK is a very safe place with freedom of speech.
That cost staff can so brazenly pull someone inside and beat them up in broad daylight is unimaginable.
It's shocking that this should happen.
Chang said he fears for his family's safety and said he will be silenced, but he's committed to helping with the investigation.
The Chinese consulate in Manchester claimed in the letter to police that protesters had stormed the compound and members of staff had been injured.
Zhang, the consul general, claiming Chang was dragged into the ground because he would not let go of a staff member's neck.
Oh yeah, that's it, yeah.
So they have movies of all this.
They didn't storm the place and they know that that didn't happen, but the Chinese are reporting that.
So that is the same report that will go back to China to make them like, oh, okay, well, then you were justified, but it's not going to work out for these guys.
And I think they're going to kick the ambassador out of the country.
And it's interesting.
Now I have one other clip.
One other clip about China, also on NTD, again something that won't get reported by the mainstream because heaven forbid we get some Chinese irked at us, even though they're already irked.
A Chinese indicted, NTD report.
Seven people are indicted for an alleged plot by the Chinese regime to coerce a dissident in the United States to return to China.
Two were New York residents and were arrested yesterday morning.
The remaining five defendants are at large in China.
One arrested suspect allegedly acted under the direct orders of various Chinese Communist officials.
It was to conduct surveillance on the Chinese national and to try to coerce the individual back to China.
The FBI says the victim had fled to the United States due to persecution in China.
The indictment states that the efforts went back to at least 2017.
The indictment also alleged defendants engaged in money laundering to fund illegal Chinese Communist Party activities in the United States.
Now this is what Pompeo was bitching about.
Yes!
What was it?
The Thousand Talents?
Yeah, something like that.
And it's just going on and it has to be stopped.
You can't have this.
There's also all these reports, these weird reports of Chinese police units being stationed.
I think there's in Canada there's a couple, I think in the UK there's one or two, in New York City.
And it's like a police unit and they're in these countries, in these cities.
And it's unclear what they're doing, if they're learning on loan, but I don't know.
I'm seeing reports about that, which is kind of odd.
Well, you'll find very little in the mainstream again.
And this particular last report, I think, is mainstream worthy, but it won't do it.
Yeah, definitely.
Well, you know what got the mainstream from the UK?
You know how they're sending illegal immigrants off to Nigeria?
Was it Nigeria?
No, it was Rwanda.
Rwanda?
Oh, weird.
Then this story doesn't make sense.
You talking about the UK?
Boris Johnson?
No!
No, an unhinged British Airway passenger en route from London's Heathrow Airport to Nigeria took travel chaos to new heights when he pooped on the floor of the plane and smeared it into the seats.
Sickening travellers!
Wow!
Here, I gotta read this to you.
I just want you to get the vibe here.
This is one of the shittiest stories I've ever heard.
There it is.
Oops.
Oops, stop, stop.
There we go.
The unnamed passenger inexplicably flipped out in protest moments before flying from London's Heathrow Airport to Lagos, Nigeria on October 7th.
He peeled off his pants and let loose on the aircraft's main floor before rubbing the feces into the carpet, curtain, and seats.
He must have been first class.
Prompting emergency service officials to rush in.
Quote, during boarding a passenger stripped from the waist down and defecated on the galley floor.
He sat in it, rubbed it onto the galley floor and aisle carpets.
He walked in it, started running up the aisle as far as door four.
He smeared his arms to the elbow in fecal matter and door seats as he went.
Officials considered the incident a hygienic biohazard.
There's your show title.
Hygienic.
It's a little long.
Bio.
It's two words.
Was this British Air, you said?
Yes.
That's British Air.
Yeah.
Yes.
My goodness.
How about that?
The tail number of that particular plane is probably contaminated.
Yeah, I wouldn't fly in that one ever again.
Anyway, back to China for a second.
We're still going after them in big tech land, because you've got to get rid of them.
These guys, this is a real problem.
This is a problem!
TikTok is a problem!
They're eating our lunch!
Facebag, Meta can't make any more ad money.
Google is sitting to see it's slipping, it's hurting.
Instagram, it's a problem!
A new report is raising more national security concerns around TikTok.
According to Forbes, a China-based team with the app's parent company was planning to use TikTok to monitor the location of some Americans.
A spokesperson tells Forbes the app collects data for ad targeting purposes, but Forbes reports the information was for surveillance.
Oh, please.
Forbes is owned by a Chinese company.
This doesn't smell right.
Yeah, I would say that's a good analysis.
And then we still have, and we just gotta talk about it for a second, Elon Musk with Twitter.
I mean, he's back, he's like, it's as if, it's as if he was either delaying this purchase purposely or, perhaps more likely, someone pulled out and then came back in.
Okay, we're gonna pick up the extra 16 bill in Slack that you got a hole there.
Don't worry about it.
We're good to go.
Go tell everybody it's overvalued.
Elon Musk is reportedly planning major job cuts if his purchase of Twitter is completed.
The Washington Post says Musk plans to slash Twitter's workforce by 75%.
A former executive says the cuts would jeopardize user security.
User security.
How does that work?
I don't know, but... Well, as you noticed in the newsletter, since you did read it, I believe.
No, I'm sorry I didn't.
We were engaged in something completely different this weekend.
Well, you did give me a tip to do something.
I did?
You had a fix.
Wow.
Was that this newsletter?
Was the one before?
No, it was this one.
Oh.
What did you put in it?
I changed it.
I changed what you suggested.
Oh, okay.
Yes, I did.
So you did read the newsletter.
I did read it.
Again, I don't know, maybe the B12 you're not using.
Did you stop using B12?
It's compression.
I'm compressing the timelines.
You're compressing timelines.
Yes.
Okay, so here we go.
It looks like Musk might have an out because the National Security Agency or the National Security Apparati is going to say, you know, we don't want Elon owning Twitter and the government may put a stop to it.
And I'm thinking, why would this be?
It's an interesting story.
It's been floating around.
But why would the government care about who owned Twitter unless they had some piece of the action?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, okay, so this is interesting.
Is this your clip?
No, this is a follow-on clip.
This is about Tesla.
But before we go to Tesla, now explain this to me.
So what exactly is happening with this national security issue?
It seems as if there is some national security concerns about a guy like Elon Musk because he's South African maybe.
There's a million reasons.
I don't know.
He's killing SpaceX.
I don't know.
It might not be a good thing for the security apparati to have a Twitter owned by this guy.
Which just says, you know, and I've always believed this, that Twitter's a front for the number of intelligence agencies, I think, that go there and say, yeah, we need to push this and that, take this guy off the site, push Rob Reiner tweets.
Which, by the way, still doesn't preclude Elon from being in on it.
I suggested in the newsletter that Elon might have gotten wind or developed the idea himself to have this happen so he could say, oh yeah, now I'm going to buy them, knowing full well that they're going to pull the plug on the deal.
So this whole thing is a scam, potentially.
Well, he's not going to buy them.
He's not going to buy them.
He's going to be prevented from buying them.
So now he can make a big fuss about buying.
Oh yeah, no, I want to buy them.
Because there's no reason, the way I saw it, he could have taken this thing to court and done very well, you know, probably even won the case.
He didn't have to jump back in like he was very enthusiastic about, oh yeah, I always wanted to buy them, I don't know what the hell this thing is about.
Okay, so I like that.
So it could be, hmm, now what if it gets resolved just in time for the midterms, boom, he puts Trump back on for a week before elections?
I don't think that's possible.
It's too close.
Okay.
I really like this idea of, uh, guys, you got to bail me out here.
Okay.
National security concern.
But then they're going to screw him all the way, right?
He's already in bed with them.
He's got SpaceX.
Yeah, I know.
You can't be this far along.
You're telling me this is my shtick.
You can't be telling me that he is a government agent.
This is my shtick.
I'm just trying to understand, if he's in bed, if he has all of that going, why wouldn't, with their help, why wouldn't he then get that deal?
He doesn't want it.
He does.
It's what he does.
Twitter's destroyed either way.
No, Twitter's never going to be destroyed if the premise is that it's part of a government operation and the State Department really is the one who's controlling Twitter.
They won't let it go.
It's like saying Oracle's going to go out of business.
That'll be the day.
Hey, that's what they said about MySpace.
Nobody said that about MySpace.
Once Fox bought MySpace, it was over.
No, people said Facebook was going to eat MySpace's lunch, and they did.
Yeah.
So?
Same thing.
What's the same thing?
Who's eating Twitter's lunch?
No.
Is that Twitter can go away?
Okay, you can say Twitter is going to get smashed and disappear, but I don't see how it's possible.
You're in such denial.
Meaning people don't want to use it anymore.
They're not going to be interested in it.
It will exist.
It'll have some, if you fire 75% of the people, you can keep the staff on and just run it.
I don't want to be condemnational about this.
But I point the finger at you.
You tweet more than you post on your own Mastodon No Agenda Social.
So?
You tweet a lot.
No, I answer.
I don't tweet a lot.
I answer people.
I'm not tweeting.
And if people would put something interesting on No Agenda Social for me that would warrant a reply, I would reply because I look at it just as often.
Okay.
You can maintain that position.
My position is Twitter is broken and it's not going to come back.
And I think there's more broken.
And Facebook is also broken.
These things are broken.
So things that are broken, let's go to Google.
The Google is very broken.
Okay.
I just have two interesting little tidbits here.
Here's, I got two of them.
Here's Google email suit on NPR.
The Republican National Committee has filed suit against Google alleging that tech giant has been suppressing its email solicitations ahead of November's midterm elections.
The lawsuit filed in California last night accuses Gmail of discriminating against the RNC by unfairly sending the group's emails to users' spam folders.
They complain it's impacting both their fundraising and get-out-the-vote efforts in pivotal swing states.
Google denies the allegation and says the company doesn't filter emails based on political affiliations.
A spokesperson says Gmail's spam filters reflect users' actions.
No, that's not true.
Now this whole story based on my recent episodes with my newsletter.
Yeah.
I'm sorry, with my newsletter tweaking.
has given me new insights into this.
And a lot of it is all programmatic.
It's not because the people want this and they want that.
Because I know plenty of people that have subscriptions to the newsletter.
They try to whitelist.
They do this.
They do that.
It doesn't work out.
And it turns out to be on my end.
And I'm convinced that the Republican National Committee are formatting their newsletter, doing a number of things wrong themselves, and blaming Google.
So I would take Google's side on this thing.
But now there's a different one.
Here's the second lawsuit, or whatever it is, actually just to hell with it, the government's just going to fine Google because they're a bag of money.
Can I just say something?
Under no circumstance should an email provider ever be making any choice for you where your email goes.
That's not an email service, that's control.
It should never make any difference.
No, I'm not going to argue that.
But let's go with the Google fined in India.
Google was hit with a $161 million fine from Indian regulators over anti-competitive practices.
The Competition Commission of India imposed a penalty of about 13 billion rupees on Google.
That's for abusing its quote, dominant position in multiple markets in the Android mobile device ecosystem.
The Commission has also asked Google to modify its conduct in relation to anti-competitive practices.
In its inquiry, the Commission concluded, since Google owns the Android operating software and allows some of its own products to come pre-installed, it has an unfair edge in the market.
Google is yet to comment publicly on the matter.
India's competition watchdog is also separately investigating Google's in-app payment system and its business conduct in the smart TV market.
Short Google!
Yeah.
No, this is just going to go on forever.
They're going to soak Google every chance they get.
And they just pay and it's the cost of doing business.
And before I'm done with this series of clips, I do want to play the Elon Musk Tesla story for the software update.
And tell me if there's a couple of things in here that might catch your attention.
Elon Musk says Tesla cars will not be approved as fully self-driving this year.
This means the company is not yet able to satisfy authorities that its cars can be driven without someone behind the wheel.
The automaker sells a $15,000 software add-on called Full Self-Driving, or SFD.
It enables vehicles to change lanes and park autonomously.
It's an upgrade from Tesla's standard autopilot feature that enables cars to steer, accelerate, and brake within their lanes without driver intervention.
However, Tesla says the cars still need to be driven with human oversight.
Autonomous vehicle would require regulatory approval in certain states like California.
Musk said he expects to release an upgraded FSD software at the end of the year.
A lot of people already prepaid for that.
$15,000?
Are you kidding me?
Yeah, they prepaid for that.
And they... people are paying this?
No, they prepaid when they purchased a recent Tesla for the full self-drive package.
They prepaid.
Yeah, they have to get their money back.
And in fact, I think many of them prepaid at $10,000 or some lower amount and they increased it and they didn't... some were people I think grandfathered in, but I... this is never going to fly.
It's not gonna work.
They didn't get the 5G rollout the way they wanted it with antennas every 10 feet all over the world.
Yeah, I know those antennas.
I mean, not yet.
Not yet.
They'll get there.
They'll get there.
Alright, I have some other technology stuff we need to talk about.
And this is the technology of food, which as you know is very exciting.
Food processors, the big ones, there's only about four big ones in the United States and around the world, not that many more.
They're all really excited about getting rid of animals and printing your food.
And this one, this is clearly a fluff piece, Israeli company.
Who are now distributing in the Netherlands.
Let's listen.
Your steak could soon be 3D printed.
That's if you live in Europe.
Israeli company Redefine Meat has struck a partnership with importer Geraldi Meats to drive European distribution of its new meat steak cuts.
The startup is hoping to establish its products as an alternative to conventionally produced meat.
Redefine Meat operates large-scale meat printers at its Rehovot headquarters south of Tel Aviv.
So first of all, for people who make these promotional videos, this steel drum popcorn background crap is not cutting it.
It's very annoying and you're losing all of your message.
Now, what you're seeing is, as you'll hear this guy talk, he literally, John has a screen of cuts of meat, and it's a touchscreen.
It's like boop, boop, boop, boop, like a holodeck, like, oh, I want this steak.
As well as in a new factory in the Netherlands.
Factory.
The manager of the company's 3D printers project, Jaron Eschel, explains how it works.
When I want to create my steak, I have a library of a few different slabs.
I can choose each one of them, and I can adjust it accordingly.
I can define the amount of marbling.
I don't know if you can hear it, but he has these sliders, and he can say more fat, less fat, marbling, thickness, you know, the whole thing is touchscreen, but it may be total bullcrap.
This may be like an Enron fake trading room, but it sounds like a fake.
It does.
Great idea.
And now I can start and go and print it and produce it.
So I'm putting it, this is my queue, this is my timeline for today.
I know that in an hour something from now I will need to refill the machine with new material.
But now I can go directly into the printing process.
And you can see how the process starts to build layer by layer.
The company makes its products from ingredients including soy and pea proteins, chickpeas, beetroot, nutritional yeasts and coconut fat.
Co-founder and chief executive Eshtar Ben-Shitrit said Redefine Meat was launching tenderloin and strip loin steaks.
In the past two years, we have been working deeply on understanding meat and what makes meat so exciting, and we identified a few components that we can recreate from plants and have the same exact performance as the tissue of animal meat, giving you, with the combination of additive manufacturing, the exact feeling, your experience, a good steak, a good cut of meat, coming from an animal, without the use of the animal.
It's genius!
What could possibly go wrong?
You know, I was thinking about this.
And they're doing this wrong.
You can't go from 0 to 100 is what they're trying to do.
Yeah.
If you started off, for example, with 3D printed candy...
Ooh.
3D-printed chocolates.
3D-printed Mars bars.
Aren't they already 3D-printed?
No, they're made.
They're manufactured in a giant factory for a practical purpose.
Well, that would be too expensive.
But there's no 3D printer where you can make, you know, make something on a 3D-printed...
There's no 3D printer involved.
No.
But if you started making 3D printed candy and 3D printed simple things and got people used to eating 3D printed whatever it was, you could ratchet.
You could ratchet up to protein products or meats or salamis or whoever knows what you're going to want to do.
But you can't just go jump right to meat.
That's ridiculous!
Well, you know, obviously this is a futuristic report, but they are dead serious about it.
It's a little... You're correct.
When it comes to changing our diet to moving away from pure, beautiful animal protein and into these 3D additive printing scenarios of fake meat and soy, but also, as we know, bug products, it's a lot more subtle the approach the bug guys are taking.
Than the 3D printed meat guys.
I agree.
I think the bug guys are doing a much better job of marketing.
The bug peeps.
The bug peeps.
Very big favorite show of foodies around the world is the Great British Baking Show.
It airs in America as well.
And here's a snippet from a recent episode.
Good morning.
Tell us about your hanging lantern.
I've decided to celebrate horror movies, so I'm making a popcorn box with scary decoration and I'm gonna hide two different truffles.
Trick or treat truffles.
Janusz's truffles will be hidden within a popcorn box lantern built from almond sablé biscuit and feature a treat flavoured with spiced pumpkin and a trick containing pistachio and crickets.
Cricket.
Yes, they're gonna be made with cricket powder and then with smoked whole crickets inside to provide the crunch.
They ground down really nice, actually.
They're more like peppery, aren't they?
Yeah, they make quite good flour.
So, what, are we just talking about insects here?
We are, and you know what?
Insects are going to be the future because they're easy to farm, cheap, very ecologically sound.
And they're pretty nice as well.
They taste like you're eating bacon.
I think that's very original.
I'm looking forward to them.
Thank you.
Okay, let's stop here with that.
That woman who's on that show is pretty good on the show as a judge.
She's gotten ahead of herself because they've given her her own show where she cooks.
She stinks.
End of analysis.
I liked the one guy saying, they're really peppery.
This is one of your descriptions.
It has ants!
What's he talking about?
I've never heard of crickets being peppery.
Well, how do you know?
Every once in a while, Jay will eat a cricket or something because there'll be some packaged goods floating around and she loves to do this.
Look at this, Dad, I'm going to eat a cricket.
Oh, she loves to gross you out with that?
Like, I want to eat a cricket.
Yeah, something like that.
It doesn't gross me out, it's just, you know, it gives me an eye roll, I guess.
Good exercise.
So, I've never heard from anybody that they're peppery.
Does anybody out there eat crickets and tell me they're peppery?
I know ants are for sure.
Not all ants are peppery.
Well, the ones around here are.
Argentine ants.
Argentine ants, yeah.
They're spicy.
Spicy from Argentina.
Hey, so I just got to do a completely different topic because I'm surprised that we have this clip left over.
I haven't even discussed it before the first donation segment.
Overnight, a federal appeals court granted the request from attorneys general of six Republican-led states to put a hold on the Biden administration's student loan forgiveness plan.
That plan now in limbo just days after people began applying for loan forgiveness.
ABC's Karen Travers joins us now with the details.
Karen, good morning.
Good morning, Will.
This is a major blow to a key policy that President Biden is campaigning on ahead of the midterm elections.
About 22 million Americans have already applied through this relief program, and it's only been open for a week.
And now it's not clear what this order means for those borrowers.
The White House is still encouraging people to apply under this program.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement last night, this order does not prevent the Education Department from reviewing applications.
But also unknown is whether the several legal challenges right now against the President's loan forgiveness program will be resolved by January 1st.
That's when payments on all federal student loans have to restart after a nearly three-year pause due to the COVID pandemic.
So what's this all about?
That's a big promise that Joe has, and they're trying to thwart him.
Oh, poor Joe.
You think it'll stick?
Yeah, I do.
I think there's some... Nancy Pelosi, we still have the clip of her saying that you can't do that because it's illegal.
That's right.
Before he did it.
That's right.
You're right.
Remember?
Yeah.
The President can't do that.
Well, let's talk about some other Biden stuff then.
I got one other clip.
It's the Biden oil and the oil reserves, which has got the National Petroleum Institute or the big boys, the oil industry guys, all bent out of shape.
After President Biden Wednesday said he's releasing 15 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in an effort to lower gas prices, one American oil industry leader says the SPR has become the Strategic Political Reserve.
Here's what American Petroleum Institute President and CEO Mike Summers told Fox Business Thursday.
This is a very precarious position we're in today at a time of dramatic geopolitical upheaval.
We need to have that SPR in place and at the right levels dealing with the current geopolitical situation we're in today.
The S.P.R.
is a stockpile of crude oil owned by the U.S.
government.
It's a backup in case the commercial oil supply is disrupted.
Last November, Biden first announced he was releasing oil from the S.P.R.
to lower gas prices.
He called it the largest release in U.S.
history.
Since then, he's released a lot more.
Right now, the emergency reserve is at its lowest level in nearly 40 years.
But the difference now, according to oil industry leader Mike Summers, is we use 27% more oil than we did back then, suggesting we should have more oil in the reserves.
Some Republican lawmakers and oil industry officials have accused Biden of misusing the SPR for political reasons.
They allege Biden is releasing the oil now to try to keep gas prices lower before the midterms, which could help Democrat candidates.
But Biden Wednesday denied those claims.
I've been doing this for how long now?
It's not politically motivated at all.
Biden has blamed high fuel prices on Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
But oil industry leader Mike Summers blames Biden's policies, which he says have clamped down on U.S.
oil production.
Summers told Fox under Biden, federal oil leases are at record low levels.
He said federal leases haven't been this few since World War II.
Bloody Putin!
Yeah.
Putin.
Putin's fault.
This is a gross misuse, of course.
This is meant for wartime, so that we'll have, you know, if we have to crank some production up, that we have this stuff.
And now it's, I don't know how much is left, but phew.
Lowest ever.
I'm sorry?
Yeah, no, this is a misuse of government power.
I just feel like something's going to pop in the next couple of weeks.
You know, we haven't really had the right October surprise.
No one has really done anything of note.
I mean, they're trying to get things going.
Is there no one in American politics anymore who has a good old-fashioned October surprise that blows our socks off?
Is that no longer available?
This is the last time we had a good one.
The last time was during the, I think, the Jimmy Carter administration, when Reagan somehow made the Iranians keep the hostages.
Yeah, that's what I mean.
Let's do one of those.
Yeah, well, I think, you know, Fetterman, Futterman, whatever his name is, could probably shoot.
Oz, shoot him right there and then get away with it because he's got brain damage.
Okay.
That would be something.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Yay.
Great.
So I've got two clips.
This is both minute long, but I just got a kick out of these analyses from one end of the spectrum, New Tang Dynasty, and then NPR.
And it's interesting to contrast these two clips.
This is Georgia Maloney.
Not quite friend of the show, but she's in Italy and becoming the prime minister there, or the president, the prime minister.
Well, well, if she can form the government... No, she did, she did.
Oh, that happened?
Okay.
With Berlusconi?
It's all done?
It's a done deal.
Okay, good.
It's a done deal.
So go to Georgia Maloney Update.
Italy's Giorgia Maloney told the President today that she's ready to become Prime Minister.
She said she is able to form a new government swiftly, despite some tension within her right-wing coalition.
Obviously, we now await the decisions of the President of the Republic, whom we thank for his magisterium.
At such a particular moment in the nation's history, and obviously we're already announcing that we're ready, because we want to proceed as quickly as possible.
Thank you all and have a good day.
Maloney of the Brothers of Italy Party met the President alongside her main allies, those of the leader of the Conservative League Party and founder of the Conservative Forza Italia Party.
The President is expected to call her back to his office later in the day to ask her formally to become Prime Minister.
The new cabinet is likely to be sworn in over the weekend.
The conservative bloc won a commanding parliamentary majority at a September 25th general election.
It was Maloney's party that took the most votes.
The victory put her in position to become Italy's first female prime minister.
Okay.
Alright.
Well, good for her.
She got it.
She got it.
But, but, but, but, but...
It was no good because there's not a nary, nary, I'll use that word, nary a mention of her being a fascist pig.
I was just going to say, where's the far right?
Wait, let me try.
So this is NPR that we're going to play.
I've not listened to the clip, of course.
I'm thinking they say Italy's soon to be far right prime minister with fascist, neo-fascist roots of the party.
You've already listened to the clip.
You cheated.
I did not.
I swear to you, I did not.
I never do that.
Ever.
So we hear a normal report and mention she's a woman and all the rest.
Just a very straightforward news report, but without the propaganda.
So let's listen to the NPR take on the exact same story.
Italy's first female prime minister took the oath of office today in Rome, ushering in the country's most right-wing government since World War II.
Giorgia Meloni's party, Brothers of Italy, has its roots in the ashes of fascism, and she's never repudiated the 20-year dictatorship.
NPR's Sylvia Pagoli reports.
Standing in the frescoed halls of the presidential palace, the 45-year-old populist leader clearly enunciated the words of the oath of office by memory.
The cabinet is formed by many Miloni loyalists, reflecting what commentators call a nativist slant, promoting the interests of native-born inhabitants against those of immigrants.
Meluni will govern with the hard-right anti-immigrant League party and go Italy, the party of former Prime Minister and media tycoon Silvio Berlusconi.
The top issue she'll face will be rising inflation and trying to maintain a united front in backing Ukraine, despite Berlusconi's close relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Wow!
We got Putin in there.
We got, I love Ashes of Fascism.
Holy moly, someone worked on that one.
Yeah, yeah.
That's the objective NPR, you know, telling us, giving us news reports, making sure there's a huge slant.
It was, I found it to be one of the most offensive things they've done.
They should be, you know, they did mention she's a woman.
That's, I guess, something.
But yeah, that was pretty pathetic.
I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
And we have a few people to thank for show 1497.
We do.
Just before our 15th anniversary.
Anniversary week!
Anniversary week!
Anniversary week on Wednesday.
Uh, $161.80.
I can't believe, of all the things we mess up preparing, anything we ever prepare is always messed up.
Any script, any gambit, any joke, no.
Yeah.
And now even our birthday.
We have messed up the week.
I'll tell you what, I'll come up with an idea that I'll make it up.
Okay.
All right.
Doosan Miletic.
Yeah, I will.
I know.
I will talk about it.
Doosan Miletic in Bartlett, Texas.
He just sent a note complaining about PayPal.
Is that what he said?
Do you have the note?
It's kind of hard to read this thing, but Let me see if I can decide.
He said that I glorified PayPal.
That's what he said at the beginning.
Did you know?
Yeah, I said we've never had any trouble with them.
I've always liked PayPal.
You're glorifying them!
I wasn't glorifying anybody.
I'm telling you what my policies are.
Oh, I gotcha.
Anonymous alias, Princess JJ Liu, ITM, has donated $122.22 from Lakewood, Colorado.
And she says, I'd like a treasure karma for the best podcast in the universe and all of the small businesses trying to stay afloat.
We will put a karma for you at the end.
Jason Bible.
That's what is, don't you think?
Bible?

Yeah, B-Y-B-E-L.

He's in for $120.12.
Joe Dirks in Amsterdam, Holland, $103.28.
Oh, he's promoting the Halloween meetup in Varmundt on the 29th this month.

It is.
It is.
But he's promoting it.
Extra promotion.
Vincent Maltese in Victoria, BC.
Ian Field, $100.00.
Oh, by the way, Vincent was $100.00.

And Josh Buford, Buford, Buford.
In Henrico, Virginia, 8008, followed by the never-ending Sir Kevin McLaughlin, the Archduke of Luna, lover of American boobs, 8008 donation from Locust, North Carolina.
And now he's got another urgent PSA.
Big or small, save them all!
Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Forrest Martin, 5005, parts unknown.
Tatiana Prince in Hollywood, Florida is a $50 donor and the following people are all $50 donors, name and location, if I have it.
Robert Hanna in Poway, California.
Patrick Maycom in New York City, Sir Patrick.
Bart Beekwilder in Veghel, Noord Brabant, the New York City of the Low Countries and Netherlands.
Is that right?
No.
But I like it.
I had a hunch it wasn't right.
Any town named Noord Brabant.
Well, I think the town is Veghel.
I want to wake up in a city that's named Fechel.

Only 31 donors.
We'll make it up with a big next Thursday.
Promotion.
Special promotion.
To make up for screwing up the start of our birthday week.
You're a piece of work!
So am I, by the way.
Michael Statam!
50 bucks, he's on the end, and no relation to the actor.
So I want to thank all these folks for making the show $14.97.
We still got, you know, a couple big boys at the top and helped a lot.
No, we're very appreciative, and thank you to these producers, as you mentioned, our executive and associate executive producers, and everyone who still has a subscription for our sustaining donation under $50, also for reasons of anonymity.
All of it is appreciated.
It doesn't matter what the number is.
We don't care.
You can listen to this for a hundred years and never send us anything.
As long as you're happy with that, that's fine.
Most people like to push some value back, of which three dollars may be a lot.
So it doesn't matter to us as long as you're sending back the equal value that you feel you receive from the show.
If you want to learn more about that, we have a handy donation website with a jingle you just can't miss.
Indeed, we have some karma here for everybody who needs it.
You've got Karma.
And here's the list.
Everything's short today.
Beck Banshee celebrated on the 10th of October.
Sorry, it's a little bit late.
Tammy McClain, 54, on the 21st.
And we really appreciate her super donation today.
And Sir David Foley.
And myself, Adam Curry.
Uncle Adam will say happy birthday to Sir David Foley's son London, 17, on the 25th.
And I'm very proud.
He is embarking on helicopter lessons.
Good for you.
Screw college.
Happy birthday on behalf of everybody here at the best podcast in the universe.
Caught it right at the end, luckily.
We have a title change here for Sir Dude Named Jeff, who today, with additional donation, becomes a Baron, and he will be the Baron Dude Named Jeff, and he chooses the Protectorate of the Lands, which we think is just fine for him to have.
Thank you very much, Sir Dude Named Jeff Now Baron.
We had a make good here, which is from... Oh no, it's a note from lower on the spreadsheet, because this is from Patrick LeDuc.
No, Patrick in LeDuc.
Alberta, Candanavia.
He is the Victor Echo 6 Uniform Echo 73's Nightmae, he says.
After many years of listening, dotted with donations, celebrity birthdays, anniversaries, and important no agenda numerology, my loving wife Beth tells me I've got to be teetering on the edge of knighthood.
I didn't keep track of the donation amounts or show numbers thinking I'd never actually achieve peerage.
My smoking hot milf painstakingly went through emails and numerous show donation segments to find what was lost.
And furnish me with the accounting below!
And he says, thanks, babe.
I'm an idiot.
That was right, just like in the commercial.
Yeah, that's what they want to hear.
I'm sorry, honey.
I don't know how to operate the washing machine.
I got the wrong detergent.
I didn't know how to count.
Anyway, he loves his wife.
Thank you.
If the peerage committee accepts, I'd like to be knighted as Sir Patrick Knight of the 30 meter band.
Well, of course!
Although that's so weird, mon.
30 meter band?
That's like, uh, what is that?
Is that the 20... Is that 21, uh... 20 megahertz?
It's like this weird, it's always, I can never get good connection 30 meter band, 20 works, 40 works.
He's the guy, talk to him, he can tell, he can help you out.
I'd like to know, yeah, I've never really had good luck.
It's your antenna, man.
Well, it's another one, like 30 meter antenna, it just, you never have an antenna that's kind of tuned for 20, 40 and 30.
Anyway, he will be bringing Stroopwafels and Slickwerkers Schlocki.
I don't even know what slikverkerslokke is, but that sounds like a Dutch drink.
I gotta look that one up.
So we have him standing by, and why don't we get our swords out then, since we're ready to do it.
Got you right here.
Ooh, I'll take that one.
Alright.
Actually, we have a knight and a dame.
That's right.
Tammy McClain, step on up here, and Patrick Fisser, both of you have supported the Noah Jenner Show in the amount of $1,000 or more.
No matter how long it takes, I'm very proud to pronounce to Kate Vee as Dame Tamios of Bricky Hill.
And Sir Patrick?
Black Knight of the 30-meter band.
I guess we did screw it up.
All right there, Sir Patrick.
For both of you, we've got Hookers and Blow, Rent Boys and Chardonnay.
We've got the Stroopwafels and Slick Vodka, Slucky.
We also have Gases and Sake, Rubenes, Lemon and Rose, Vodka and Vanilla, Bong Hits and Bourbon, Sparkling Cider and Escorts.
We've got Mutton and Meat over there somewhere.
Go to NoahJenTheNation.com slash rings.
Let us know where to send off your very handsome ring, and actually pretty, so one's a knight ring, the other one's a dame ring, almost indistinguishable from each other.
So therefore, we also need your ring size.
I think there's even a handy guide there.
And we'll send it off with your wax, which you can use for sealing your important correspondence, which you do with your knight or dame ring.
I should mention, you know, people should go to a jeweler To get measurement?
Pretend they want to buy a ring there and get measured so they know what their ring size is.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
I also have a complaint before you get to the next segment.
Notes at noagendashow.net is where you send donation notes, not clips.
What's the bit?
What was the bit?
I don't have access to that account.
Eric gets it, and he sends it to me when he does the books.
So I missed a good bit that I would have put on this show about how Van der Leyen's a corrupt person, and she's going to be out.
What was the bit?
How would you have known?
Because some guy sent a note to No Agenda Nation, not the nation, NoAgendaShow.net, and I got it this morning, but it was sent last Friday, and I should have had it, and I would have been able to listen to what the evidence was. - Oh.
I don't know where this, thank you for stopping the show actually, there was one other donation Oh, crap, man.
And who did this come from?
Somebody sent in a donation.
Let me see if there was a note associated with it.
Maybe he didn't donate, but he sent in a backing track for the Gitmo Nation National Anthem, and he says he wants to get... Listen to this.
He wants to get people to audition to sing or something, but it's a pretty ripping version.
Listen to this.
It's a morning in more nation.
Anyway.
So you're gonna post that so people can use it as a track?
Yes, I will post it and then, yeah, that's the only way to do it, I guess.
Do we have anybody that can actually sing a complete song without, you know, holding, without going off-key?
Millennial Mel, for sure.
Oh, yeah, she would, yeah, yeah.
Millennial Mel can do it.
I asked Millennial Mel to do a different version.
She did a, it was interesting because she did a whole beautiful classical version.
Of, uh, I don't know, while we're at it, uh, let me see, uh, Mel.
Do we have Mel, uh, Anthem?
Yeah, here's Mel's Piano Anthem.
Now, also pretty.
Alright, so I'm gonna post both of these then, how about that?
Yeah, good.
We need, uh, cause, you know, the, uh, the original's getting pretty tired, people.
Get on the stick.
Wait, why did that not work?
Get more national.
Make sure... Four to die!
Innovate!
The show needs to innovate.
Alright, so that's the business there.
Time for the meetups!
There we go.
Oh yeah, we got a couple of reports that came in.
Here's the first one, the I Must Be High meetup report.
I must be high.
Meet up, Toronto.
Good, we got it.
Sir Sterling of the Oxnard.
Why do they want us to eat bugs?
Why don't they feed the chicken bugs and then we'll eat the chicken?
I'm 11 years old on the inside.
This is Victor living the mac and cheese life.
In the morning.
Hey John.
Probably a douchebag.
In the morning, in the night, bro.
What up to all the fellow producers, man.
But resist we much.
We must.
And we will much about that.
Dude, these guys were baked at this meetup.
No kidding.
Those guys.
Oh, my.
You know, they should try some of that.
It's legal.
It's legal.
So what are you going to do?
They should try some of that adamoxetine.
You know, get spruced up a little bit.
All right, Space Coast Moon Base Meetup Report.
This is Mike Bravo from the Cocoa Beach Space Coast Moon Base Roundtable in the morning, y'all.
This is Chad.
We had a great conversation talking about Tartaria, mud floods, and yeah, it's been great.
Oh yeah!
Sir Lonely Knight of the New Smyrna Beach Shark Shows and Surround Lake Seashore is checking in again!
Cup of coffee in the big time boys!
Thank you for your courage!
In the morning!
Macho Man!
Randy Savage, Macho Man!
So today there's the North Texas Autumn Meet and Shoot, which I expect a great report from.
That started very early at 9 a.m.
at Extreme Tactics and Training Solutions.
My buddy Vic, actually, and his wife Chris, they were here for the weekend.
And they live up in Dallas.
It's like, oh man, I wouldn't have even come to stay with you if I knew that was happening.
Waxahachie, Texas.
So hopefully Eric will give us a report on that.
The Central Connecticut Meetup is probably over by now, but that was in Connecticut Valley Brewing Company, South Windsor, Connecticut.
Same goes for the Indiana Tribal Meetup, but they may still be hanging in.
They only kicked off two hours ago.
Half Liter Barbecue in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The inaugural 12 Mile Wedgie Meetup took place, is underway at the Be Here Brewing, Avondale, Pennsylvania.
On Thursday, a part of the No Agenda Birthday Week, I'm reliably informed.
That'll be the 27th.
North Idaho Sanity Brigade meets at 3.30 Pacific at Selkirk Abbey in Post Falls, Idaho.
And finally, also on that Thursday for our birthday week, Supper Time Meetup, 6 o'clock Central, Burnt End BBQ.
That'll be in Overland Park, Texas.
These are just a few of the meetups that you can attend.
You can find them all at noagendameetups.com.
Truly, the way to expand your No Agenda experience is to visit at least one of these once in your life.
You will not be disappointed.
You will have a good time.
We obey you, too.
If you can't find one near you, start one yourself!
Sometimes you wanna go hang out with all the nights and days.
Alright.
Meetups, man.
The meetups.
The meetups are great.
I'm so proud of our meetups.
Yeah, yeah.
Say hi to the attractive female that called me out.
What?
is like a party.
All right.
Meetups, man.
The meetups.
The meetups are great.
I'm so proud of our meetups.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's really...
Say hi to the attractive female that called me out.
What?
In Toronto.
How do you know she was attractive?
By her voice.
Oh, you're a connoisseur, huh?
So here we go.
I have one lone ISO.
Now is it the killer?
Should I do mine first?
I got three.
It's a good one, but do your three first.
We're going for the anti-climax, everybody.
All right, here we go.
Hello.
Nice gay hello at the end.
No?
Leave my balls in a bag.
No.
No.
And the only one I have is... Bloody Putin!
Bloody Putin.
That's all I got.
Well, the hello wins in that group, I think.
Okay.
But it's the end of the show, so would you want to say hello?
What you want to say is my ISO.
Hasta la vista, baby!
We... I think we used that.
No, we didn't.
It was just clipped.
You know, it was on today's show.
Boris said this a long time ago.
He said... It was a clip from today's show.
It's when he flew back, he said... I know.
Hasta la vista, baby.
Okay.
And we never use it on the show.
We have used a clip of him saying... Hasta la vista.
Find it.
Okay.
I'll find it.
I'm not going to do it now, obviously, but believe me, I know these things.
I remember stuff.
Compression.
It was just on today's show and... No, this is an old thing he said, and in hindsight, because I heard it in your clip today, and I know that he said that Hasselhoff is the baby.
It was at the end of his speech in Parliament.
In hindsight, he should have said, I'll be back.
See, that's what he should have done.
You should apply for a job as a consultant with the Boris campaign.
Who says I'm not already one?
Well, you could be.
You would never tell me, I know that.
All right, so we're gonna do your Hasta La Vista, baby, like it's all new and stuff.
Okay, well, that's really fun.
Wow, brand new clip, everybody.
Hasta La Vista, baby.
My end of show clip is Steve Bannon was sentenced to four months in jail.
Yeah.
And so he gives a little speech on it, and he's got nothing there but hecklers who hate him.
Steve Bannon, the ex-advisor to former President Trump, has been sentenced to four months in prison.
Here's what he said just before the sentencing.
Remember, this illegitimate regime, their judgment day is on 8th November, when the Biden administration ends.
I want to thank you all for coming.
Thanks.
By the way, and remember, take down the CCP.
Thank you.
Bannon was also fined $6,500, but he doesn't have to pay or go to prison just yet.
Bannon's attorney plans to appeal the conviction, and the judge allowed the sentence to be delayed until after the appeal.
In July, Bannon was convicted of two counts of contempt of Congress for not appearing to testify and for not handing over documents related to a subpoena from the January 6th House Committee.
His attorney says the appeal of the conviction is quote bulletproof because Bannon was prohibited from explaining why he didn't comply with the subpoena.
Yeah, so there's going to be an appeal and meanwhile he just sits on his show and just keeps doing his thing.
Yammering.
Yeah.
So it's a nothing burger.
It's a total joke.
Alright, alright.
I'm going to top your end of show clip.
With this one.
An increase in legalized marijuana is sending more pets to the hospital.
One poison control center reports 6,200 cases of apparent marijuana poisoning of pets in the last year.
Vets advise people not to leave weed laying around saying pets don't ingest marijuana like people do.
I don't think weed is the problem.
It's probably edibles, but okay, Mr. ABC Man.
Some kid died recently from chomping down too many edibles.
His mom was thrown in jail for murder.
Yeah, but it was the sugar in the edibles that killed the kid, not the weed.
Well, something killed him.
Yeah, the fentanyl.
Because it was colored pretty.
Anyway, people, do not leave your weed laying around.
Because the last thing you want is your dog eating your good weed!
It's a waste of weed!
We have a big live show.
I think it's the Battle of the Douchebags coming up next on No Agenda Stream, if you're at TrollRoom.io.
Yes, it is.
It's live, the Battle of the Douchebags, Part 8, with Sir Seat Sitter, Midnight Mike, Tom Starkweather, Gwoof, and Adam from GGRP.
My goodness.
Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, that is 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.
End of show mixes coming to you from Jesse Coy Nelson, Deez Laffs, and Rolando Gonzalez.
Remember us at dvorak.org.
Until Thursday.
Adios, mofos and such.
Hooey, hooey.
Hooey.
Jorge Ventura, live at the border.
Thank you for your courage, El Salvador.
Finance, the shout-out is in order.
Shout-out to the Neptunes in Philly's most on the 2000 classic, Cross the Border.
Rob from The Citizens, never leaving us bored.
He's gonna pen it to the common man, Rob Ford.
Yo, my pops worked with him in the 90s at City Hall.
Who looked more common than that van, Rob Ford?
He was a ball of joy.
Slick with the talk, the media couldn't balk.
Cause he had these classic soundbites that made him infamous and well-known.
Man said that he had more than enough to eat at home, he ain't lyin' CP24 clips, yo had me dyin' Late night, gettin' jerk chicken at the jerk spot Smokin' the cheap crack rock for some, I guess it was a lot But when the Selly video leaked, my man looked pretty weak Yo Pato was so funny like he couldn't even speak We'll see you next week, uh 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.
But pricing is confidential.
And from that point of view, I am not able to have a conversation with you.
I understand your frustration.
But we cannot discuss pricing.
It is confidential.
Mrs. Anderson, please.
This is quite ridiculous what we're doing here.
Profits and profits and profits.
I am proposing that this committee declares itself incompetent.
This committee lacks the authority to get to the bottom of crucial questions.
I think that Mr. Borla, CEO of Pfizer, had the audacity to refuse to appear in front of this committee to answer questions that constitute gross disregard for the people whose tax money he took.
If we cannot compel a crucial player to appear in front of this committee, then this committee is useless.
According to the rules you will have to let me continue.
I furthermore propose that this committee concludes to ensure the peoples of Europe's right.
Go ahead and try to target me.
Good luck.
This morning, parents speaking out as school districts across the country opt to cancel Halloween celebrations.
All parents really need to hear this morning.
Powder and pills that are brightly colored.
School districts are saying no.
Saying no to brightly covered fentanyl pills.
Candy that could be deadly.
Trick-or-treating is extra concerning this year.
It's a war on Halloween.
Rainbow fentanyl.
I feel like it's just crossing the line, and it's just, where does it end?
The DEA first issued a warning about it four weeks ago.
Many people are dying from fentanyl poisoning.
They say they found it in at least 21 states.
That is the trick of the devil.
Many see Halloween as a fun, candy-filled holiday.
This is not the case.
First of all, you go to school, they're filled with stupid little hooligans.
They should not have Halloween in school.
No costumes, no candy, nope.
They're all dressed up, you know, like thugs and hookers.
There's danger in every venue, in every way.
This witch, or this wallet, this person's practicing this stuff, giving you this kind of candy.
Now you taking that stuff home, you put that stuff into your body.
What exactly are you talking about when you say rainbow dental?
Deadly fentanyl.
They're making rainbow colored pills.
Candy could be deadly.
It looks like candy.
Sweet tarts.
Skittles.
Deadly.
Pink or blue or yellow.
All the colors of the rainbow.
There is no more urgent threat with our kids.
Just talk about how dumb the electorate is.
It starts in schools.
So why would you bring that kind of curse into your house and curse your family from three to four generations?
So, next people are going to be offended by pumpkins.
