	A triple demic sounds like a hamburger, you're right.
	Adam Couric, John C. Dvorak.
	Sunday, October 27th, 2022.
	This is your award-winning Kimbo Nation Media Assassination, episode 1498.
	This is No Agenda.
	Accelerating 15 years of stellar producers and...
	And broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No. 6.
	In the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where everybody's celebrating 15 years of exclusive news analysis.
	I'm Jossie Kvorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	We need the bombastic NBC news for your thing.
	Exclusive news and analysis.
	Yeah, pretty much.
	I thought we had one of those at some point.
	Yeah, we did.
	Bang-ba-da-bang-bang-bang.
	Yeah, bombastic.
	I don't remember what it was called.
	Hey, John!
	Congratulations, Adam, on 15 years of hard work.
	You had one line, John.
	Hard luck and good work.
	You had one line.
	That's right.
	15 years and they never had a fight.
	Yes, indeed.
	Of course, we are really celebrating the thousands, probably more than 10,000 producers who have produced this show throughout the past 15 years.
	I'm certainly very grateful.
	And continue to do so.
	Yeah.
	The value for value model took hold.
	All right, enough with that.
	The value for value model took hold, people started to understand it, and that's how the entire infrastructure was built from our servers, to our CDN, to our websites, to the multitude of places people congregate.
	Spinoff sites.
	Spinoffs.
	Shops.
	Some have come, some have gone.
	There's been some wonderful, weird experiments that people have tried.
	And here we are.
	And it's crazier than ever!
	I just, I just don't know where to start anymore.
	Well, I know where to start.
	Well, so do I, but where do you want to start?
	I want to start with something that's curious, and I don't think we've, we have not discussed it.
	I don't think anyone's discussed it.
	It's about COVID.
	Okay.
	And, uh, and it showed up at the dinner table and it actually showed up with Mimi about starting about a month ago.
	And now I find out JC and then, uh, I guess some elements involved Jesse.
	Mimi, all these, all this folk have had COVID and they got it before, you know, they got the early version.
	The good one, the good one.
	The real COVID.
	Yeah.
	Not the, let's see how much more money we can make COVID.
	Including, and JC had the COVID cough, which is frightening.
	I had the, well, not that bad, but I did have a lingering cough after the second.
	Yeah.
	Second time.
	Yeah.
	Lingering.
	They've all developed a wheat allergy.
	Really?
	Mimi's wheat allergy is completely out of control.
	Now she's at the point where she can't even get close to it because she's afraid she's going to go into anaphylactic shock.
	She got hives the last time.
	Oh my goodness.
	Got a little bit of wheat in her.
	And then we brought this up at the table.
	JC mentioned that he's been having issues with wheat.
	And Jesse, of course, has a lot of different allergies, so this was not like a standout for her.
	Yeah.
	But the fact that JC, who we know had COVID because he had COVID cough, and Mimi had COVID, and she thinks she had long COVID because it took forever to get over it.
	with the long fatigue.
	It's not got these weed allergies.
	I'm just throwing this out there because I'm wondering if anybody else, because we probably have tens of thousands of people that listen to this show who have had COVID.
	Who have this, yeah.
	Oh, more than tens of thousands who've had COVID.
	Yeah, well, they have COVID.
	And some of them may have picked this up, and they don't know why.
	And I'm just telling you, this seems to be the coincidence, and I would like to hear from them in some way, shape, or form, and then maybe we should get this become a public domain issue.
	you.
	Huh.
	Yeah, that's what I said.
	This is probably some of the worst news I could ever hear and I'm very happy I have not developed an allergy for weed.
	I mean that would take me down.
	Not weed.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	I was scared for a minute there.
	I'm sorry, just to get you going, just to get you going.
	So, uh, yeah, well, it's problematic because you have, you know, problematic no less.
	Hello.
	You can't have pasta.
	You can't do this.
	You can't do that.
	No, it's a huge possible.
	We're, we're, we're discussing this.
	We're not spitballing it.
	We're discussing this and it's, since Americans eat brominated wheat or wheat that's not brominated but there's other chemicals that are used to cure it as opposed to dry, to normally aging it like they might do in Europe in some specialty shops where they have real wheat.
	And it may be the contaminants or the processing that is the problem.
	Oh, that could be.
	That could easily be.
	You got to get some quality wheat.
	Which you're not gonna get.
	No.
	Well, I'm sorry to hear that.
	And I'm maybe even more sorry.
	Now, I don't know the... And I don't need to know the status of vaccination within your family.
	I mean, you and I... None.
	Okay.
	So... Then we're all in the same boat.
	Almost everyone who will die from COVID this year will not be up to date on their shots.
	Or they will not have taken Paxlovid when they got sick.
	We're goners, bro.
	Oh, it's the Pac Slovid.
	He's got to get that plug in.
	Isn't that horrible?
	It's so blatant.
	So really blatant.
	The ads are coming now.
	For Pax Lovett, it doesn't work.
	No, no, no.
	Mads for, um... Here, what did I have here?
	I had, uh... Where is it?
	Uh... Here, Moderna.
	Moderna has an ad running.
	I think they're sponsoring the latest series of Jeopardy.
	We're all sick of COVID-19.
	But it was the third leading cause of death in the U.S.
	And it's still making people really sick.
	The COVID-19 updated boosters are here.
	They help protect against multiple variants all in one shot.
	Make it yours.
	Get boosted this fall.
	So that's their slogan, make it yours.
	Make it your booster.
	And I think this is probably intentional because that's the long-term goal is you will have boosters that will be tailored for you, for your ails, ailments, for your issues, for your anxiety.
	We can reprogram you, get an update.
	Literally the signs at CVS say get your update, your COVID shot today, update.
	Well, I like the idea of running update into the vernacular.
	Yeah, of course.
	We've been watching this.
	You don't get boosters anymore, you get updates.
	We've been watching this.
	It's beautiful.
	You get a software fix.
	That's all you need.
	All you need is software fixes.
	That's a good one.
	Update.
	Then, of course, as part of the campaign, Because notice they don't have an RSV vaccine yet.
	Oh, there is one, I think, but they're saying, oh, there's no vaccine.
	So I'm expecting that to show up.
	But this isn't about RSV.
	This is about promoting the updated COVID vaccine.
	So, Jim, let's start with the RSV.
	What is the latest concerning hospitalizations with that?
	So Robin, think of that under the umbrella of flu-like illness affecting children in the pediatric age group.
	One of them is RSV, the other one enterovirus, it could be influenza.
	Bottom line, hospitals are being inundated right now with children who need respiratory support.
	They're seeing the highest rates in two years.
	And right now, over 70% of the estimated 40,000 pediatric hospital beds are full.
	That's actually a low amount.
	This is very interesting.
	We know, we know from the healthcare professionals that any department wants to run at 95 to, you know, to basically 100% for efficiency.
	So now there's 77%.
	I think they're just trying to get more, jack it up.
	They can always reassign beds.
	It's funny though, what's interesting in that report is that they actually gave it an actual number as opposed to overflowing!
	Oh wait, there's more.
	With children with these kind of respiratory illnesses.
	So they're getting things like supportive oxygen therapy, maybe some inhalers, some IV therapy, and if they have a super bacterial infection on top of that virus, then they're also getting antibiotics.
	So hospitals are definitely feeling this.
	Oh, yes.
	Horrible.
	Yes.
	Well, let's throw some stuff on.
	She says something very interesting in this clip.
	Because, of course, now the flu is back.
	Everybody knows the flu is back.
	On top of that, flu season, making an early comeback.
	Don't call it a comeback.
	Yep.
	And, Robin, you've been hearing me say this now for over 10 years.
	Flu has a PR problem in this country.
	I love this.
	Flu has a PR problem in this country.
	That's right.
	They had no PR.
	Two years ago, zero!
	They had negative PR!
	Then who's responsible for the PR?
	Media.
	And Robin, you've been hearing me say this now for over 10 years.
	Flu has a PR problem in this country because we think it's just a bad cold.
	Influenza kills tens of thousands of Americans every single year.
	And right now we're seeing cases go up earlier than they have in the past.
	Not really a surprise because we're more out and about.
	So just look at the increase.
	Last week, just over 1,600 flu-related hospitalizations in this country.
	Up just over 300 from the week before.
	1600?
	These are no numbers!
	That's nothing!
	You remember the COVID counter?
	Well, you have to remember, about a year ago, a year and a half ago, we had some clips from some researchers that were looking into the well-accepted number of 30,000 flu deaths every year.
	Yes, yes, yes.
	And you can find no evidence for this number.
	This number is just a generally accepted number that has no basis in fact.
	Hey man, it's good morning America.
	You shut your mouth.
	Just over 300 from the week prior so we're seeing that curve go up earlier in the season you know at this point in October than we do usually in every year.
	So the reason why the flu just has no good PR is because all the PR is shifted to a very poorly named PR initiative.
	Tripledemic.
	It's a phrase that we're hearing.
	Can you explain that?
	I thought tridemic would be much better than tripledemic.
	What do you think?
	We were not consulted.
	I've always thought it should have been tridemic.
	It makes more sense.
	Yeah, and it's scarier, triple-demic.
	It's like a... I don't know, like a triple-decker bus.
	I think I got triple-decker... No, I don't think triple-demic is... Triple-demic isn't... No, you mean tridemic is scarier.
	Yeah, tridemic has more.
	Yeah, no, triple-demic sounds like a hamburger.
	You're right.
	Tripledemic.
	It's a phrase that we're hearing.
	Can you explain that?
	What that means?
	So that means that we have to keep our eyes on multiple pathogens, multiple respiratory viruses at the same time.
	So we're talking about COVID-19, influenza, NRSV, and these other viruses that are making children sick.
	And remember, a lot of children have not been in schools without masks for two years, so they don't have natural immunity built up against these pathogens.
	And of course you'd expect the follow-up to be, well, isn't that because of the lockdown?
	So wasn't there someone to blame for that?
	No, no follow-up.
	By the way, just as an aside before I play the last clip in this series, what happened to Monkeypox?
	Thank you, Pop.
	It was a flop.
	So parents are watching right now.
	They want to know, hey, Dr. Jim, what can we do to protect our kids?
	Hey, Dr. Jane.
	Well, first of all, know what the symptoms of respiratory distress are.
	And when you're talking about young children and infants, lethargy, difficulty breathing, you might see their nostrils flare as they try to breathe, their ribs moving more vigorously in terms of prevention.
	Sneezing or coughing into your elbow, remember that maneuver is important.
	Hand hygiene, keeping your hands clean, staying home if you are sick.
	And remember, Robin, we have safe and effective vaccines against influenza and COVID-19.
	Children should be getting those vaccines, those boosters.
	If parents have any questions, talk to their pediatrician.
	So it's just a really long, drawn out commercial for the vaccines.
	It's the same old, same old with this, especially with this.
	Oh, they're lethargic kids.
	What?
	Their nostrils are flaring.
	A kid with the sniffles and he's who happens to be lethargic.
	Take him to the hospital.
	So let's, I have a similar clip from NPR, which are a little probably less, uh, They're probably just different.
	I don't know.
	I've noticed this over time.
	Oh, we love NPR.
	They're the most fun to make, most, you know, the great to make fun of.
	I mean, it's just, yeah.
	COVID winter surge triple threat one.
	COVID is still spreading.
	An active flu season is upon us early.
	And now hospitals are filling up with a surge of RSV virus.
	Is it really early?
	October, is it the end of October?
	No.
	Seems like it's on time, doesn't it?
	If it was July, I'd say yes.
	Risk cases, particularly in children.
	Joining us to help explain all of this.
	Maybe it's just early for the midterms.
	Is Dr. Gene Marazzo, Director of the Division of Infectious Diseases at the University of Alabama Birmingham School of Medicine.
	Doctor, thanks for joining us.
	Sure Celeste, good to be here.
	So I hate to repeat this cliche but some public health officials are calling this a perfect storm of diseases.
	What are you most concerned about at this point?
	So you just mentioned what are probably the three most important components of what might constitute a winter surge of respiratory viruses and I'll talk a little bit about each of those and you mentioned them individually.
	The challenge is that these are viruses that are coming at us against a background of us letting down our societal guard against COVID, right?
	So this is the first winter really where people I think are feeling confident enough and protected enough to really drop their masks and get out and mingle.
	So you already have a situation where people are going to be vulnerable to infection.
	You know, I hear this report, and I think...
	Wow.
	I think they're actually gauging this by how Howard Stern is responding.
	So Howard Stern says, I'm going to go to New York and do my first show from the studio in two years.
	I haven't been out of the house, which I believe to be true.
	Probably.
	And it's going to be with Bruce Springsteen because the boss convinced him.
	The boss, yeah.
	So he announces that.
	It's supposed to happen on Monday.
	I think like, oh man, Stern's coming out like the groundhog.
	We've got to scare him back into his hole.
	Triple-demic, Howard.
	Triple-demic, bro.
	The other thing that's interesting as you listen to this report is they tried, now they're blaming the public for the triple-demic.
	Republican public, please get it right.
	But the public at large because they're letting their guards down.
	So we already know and the research has shown that the mask is bullshit.
	For that, especially for these viruses.
	The viruses are too small.
	So unless you're wearing one of those gas masks, you know, from World War I, that would probably do the trick.
	You're not even allowed to wear those on the plane.
	So lame.
	I know, of course not.
	So lame.
	You can't wear them on the plane because it's very suspicious.
	Kind of.
	So we're letting our guards down.
	We're actually going outside.
	First they blame us for, and they'll do this in the next, I got two more clips.
	They're blaming the kids themselves because they were masked up and they were at home and they were not getting their own natural immunity, was not building up because they were being locked down.
	So it's their fault for not, for doing what they were told.
	And now it's everybody's fault for, Relaxing a little bit.
	Updating.
	The whole thing makes no sense!
	Is fresh air good for you or not?
	But this is what's so beautiful about it.
	Despite all the evidence, despite the massive counter narrative going more and more mainstream every day, they will not waver.
	They will continue to go to wear people down.
	And I think history shows the elites and certainly leadership such as we're seeing in the world now, that's a successful strategy.
	Just keep saying it.
	Keep wearing them down.
	Ignore everything.
	don't care, keep going.
	Yeah, no, no.
	Yeah, no, yeah, no, yeah, no, right?
	Yeah, no, yeah, no, yeah, no, right?
	It's very successful.
	But there's also an element of milking the, getting the last few drops.
	That's what makes it so beautiful!
	And we get rich!
	We've got to sell a few more.
	Come on, we're not getting, not everyone's getting this, this stupid new shot, you know, and then they, and unfortunately now it's leaking, you know, the experts are coming out of the woodwork saying, well, you know, the shot doesn't, maybe we need, it's not really working.
	The shot's no good.
	Oh, we don't need that guy!
	It's out of control.
	Did you see that we lost Ashton Carter?
	Remember him?
	I heard something about this.
	He was the defense secretary under Obama.
	He was 68.
	He was 68.
	Wait, wait, let me see if it was suddenly.
	Let me see.
	Yes.
	No, because, you know, sometimes you read, oh, yeah, died of a heart attack Monday evening.
	No.
	No.
	Clean that guy up.
	Clean that problem up.
	I'm guessing the vaccine.
	Probably.
	But I'm just guessing.
	You gotta be careful.
	You gotta be careful.
	You know, Megyn Kelly, her sister, 58, died suddenly.
	I think it was a heart attack, but she had a lot of health issues.
	If you have a lot of health issues, I'm not going to... Exactly, exactly.
	All right, clip two.
	Sorry.
	That's a problem with COVID in particular, because unfortunately we are hearing just in the last couple of weeks of the continuing emergence of new variants.
	And remember, these variants are a problem because they have mutations in the place on the virus where antibodies dock, right?
	So the antibodies that you get from...
	I have not heard this medical term yet.
	I'm glad NPR is bringing it to the forefront.
	Antibodies dock, right?
	So the antibodies that you get from a vaccine or that we give you as a monoclonal antibody, if the virus mutates enough, they aren't gonna work.
	And unfortunately, it looks like for a couple of these new variants, particularly the BQ lineages, that's gonna be a problem.
	So it's worrisome in that, you know, COVID continues to confound us with these mutations.
	Confound!
	And so we're really, really, really, really, really closely watching that.
	You also mentioned the flu.
	Did you want me to talk about the flu?
	I did.
	Please do.
	Because it's come upon us early.
	Real quickly, though.
	Again, it's come upon us early.
	Hold on.
	Stop this show.
	I'm going to consult the book of knowledge.
	Typical flu season.
	Okay.
	Let's just make sure we know.
	This is from the Book of Knowledge.
	Hold on a second.
	Make sure that we do this officially.
	Here, where is it?
	Where's my Book of Knowledge?
	Where's the cover?
	Ah, there it is.
	So this would be what they want reflected in their news reporting.
	Sorry, I'm failing here.
	uh, In the United States, the flu season is considered October through May.
	So there you go.
	Well, considering this meme is in two different news reports we're playing, but I've heard it all over.
	Yeah, we had three.
	Okay, we had three.
	You had two different ones.
	So we have three so far, and it's playing everywhere.
	And I hate, I don't know, but if I look at the calendar, it's almost November!
	Really, really, really, really, really closely watching that.
	You also mentioned the flu.
	Did you want me to talk about the flu?
	I did, because it's come upon us early.
	Real quickly though, let me go to RSV first, that virus, because it's surging and we're seeing young kids especially being hard hit by this.
	Any idea why?
	Sure.
	So it's respiratory syncytial virus and it is a virus that actually most kids get by the age of two.
	They start meddling with other kids at daycare and it's it's a very very good bet that your kids one of your kids very first viral infections in the respiratory tract is going to be RSV.
	The problem is that our society has had very little collective immunity opportunities to generate collective immunity in the last three years, right?
	In fact, some people are calling this a pandemic immunity gap.
	Kids have not been in school.
	They have not been in daycare.
	So they have not had the chance, not just to get infected, but to create a start of antibodies as little kids.
	Now, that's interesting.
	She said some folks, which means my handlers, are calling this the immunity gap.
	And I indeed have read this, I think, in the New York Times.
	The immunity gap.
	So that's their... Pandemic immunity gap.
	Yeah, I don't like that part.
	I like the... Well, I guess they have... Yeah.
	It's like immunity gap because it sounds like a rock band.
	Hello, Cleveland!
	We're immunity gap!
	It could work.
	It could work.
	I could see it.
	So they're blaming the kids now.
	Well, those dirty, nasty, seizing human resources.
	That they set up, except in certain states, you know, like Florida and these other smart states that decided against some of these ideas.
	Yeah.
	And now the kids are there, so now they're getting this disease that they should have gotten already.
	Anyway, I don't know.
	Do you know who, which country?
	Did even less preventative measures than Florida, Sweden, any Scandinavian country.
	Yeah, it was like Gold Coast or someplace like that.
	Haiti.
	Oh yeah, right.
	It was Haiti.
	Haiti did nothing.
	And someone sent me a clip.
	They did nothing.
	But also, they got nothing.
	And they got nothing, of course.
	And I think, you know, hey, we can't have that example out there.
	Call up barbecue!
	Tell them to torch the place so we can come in and shoot these people up.
	You watch, that's next.
	You're gonna see it.
	Oh, because of the gangs, you know, severe shortage of COVID-19 vaccines.
	Mmm, we're gonna help you, Haiti.
	So onward with clip three.
	So you're getting toddlers and infants now who are being exposed to this and getting it in very high numbers.
	And some of them are going to get really sick.
	Most of them do okay.
	It can be scary, but some of them actually end up being hospitalized.
	The problem with RSV is we don't have a vaccine for it and we really don't have any effective treatment.
	So it can be very scary for families and parents.
	So now let's go to the flu because it has come early.
	Some parts of the country are really getting hit, especially in the south.
	Tell us a little bit about this.
	So it's an interesting flu year.
	Some of the same factors that are creating this pandemic immunity gap that I mentioned for RSV are operative with the flu, right?
	So every year we are exposed to the flu and even if we're vaccinated we may not be protected.
	We know that the rate of protection from the vaccine... Yeah lady, we know it's how vaccines work these days.
	You know, you get vaccinated, it might not work.
	This is how vaccines work.
	It may or may not do anything.
	It might kill you.
	We know how this works, right?
	So, every year, we are exposed to the flu, and even if we're vaccinated, we may not be protected.
	I know, man.
	As a kid, you knew you got these vaccines.
	Like, I'm not gonna die of polio or whatever else.
	I'm not gonna get rabies.
	Diphtheria.
	Diphtheria.
	Who needs that?
	Dip, dip, dip, dip, dip.
	And you knew it, but now it's like, oh, we know it's not going to work.
	Well, that's a new story, lady.
	Right.
	So every year we are exposed to the flu.
	And even if we're vaccinated, we may not be protected.
	We know that the rate of protection from the vaccine can range from anywhere from 20 to 60 percent.
	We haven't really been exposed to the flu very much last year.
	We've, the last two years, we know the numbers of cases have been very low and what we might see... No!
	No, the cases were zero!
	Zero!
	Let's stop right there for a second, too.
	She says we weren't as exposed to the flu for the last two years.
	How does that work?
	Because it wasn't there!
	The flu is the flu.
	It comes and goes and comes and goes.
	Every year it comes around.
	No, your house, your house and your mask that you wear in your house under the covers gives you magical protection.
	That's why you didn't get it.
	Suddenly the flu disappeared.
	You don't think it was just miscalculated or it was like people that got the flu and maybe had some issues that were called COVID cases?
	Or maybe they called it COVID.
	Exactly, exactly.
	We haven't really been exposed to the flu very much last year.
	The last two years we know the numbers of cases have been very low.
	She even says we know the numbers of cases.
	Well, they've never told us.
	They've never given us anything other than zero.
	Anyway, I'm ant-fucking-you.
	You're right.
	We know the numbers of cases have been very low, and what we might see is what Australia and the Southern Hemisphere saw during their winter, which just ended.
	They saw a very early flu season with a lot higher numbers Of both cases and hospitalizations.
	And that's almost certainly because, again, we haven't had the opportunity... Well, hold on a second.
	How come there hasn't been massive death, deaths, in Australia, who, due to the seasonality of their locale, could not get the updated booster in time?
	That was six months ago.
	How come we don't have massive, massive deaths?
	Hey, hey, hey.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	They saw a very early flu season with a lot higher numbers of both cases and hospitalizations.
	And that's almost certainly because, again, we haven't had the opportunity to create collective immunity.
	And we really haven't had the opportunity.
	Oh, no, no.
	But there's the lie tell.
	There's the lie tell.
	The lie tell is the up talk.
	Actually, immunity!
	She hasn't done that throughout the whole thing.
	She's given us a couple of rights, given us a couple of right, right.
	Listen.
	A lot of rights, not a couple.
	They saw a very early flu season with a lot higher numbers of both cases and hospitalizations.
	And that's almost certainly because, again, we haven't had the opportunity to create collective immunity and we really haven't had the opportunity... Come on, man!
	What's that?
	Collective immunity!
	Hi!
	I'm here for my audacity with Kenny G!
	I know, she almost went to falsetto.
	Active immunity!
	That's got to be some kind of... that's... we've been examining this.
	This is a form of tell.
	It's like I'm kind of embarrassed to say it.
	I totally agree with this, but I was listening to the sentence with that in mind and she actually kind of pre-tells with a couple of other little blips just before she kicks it up a notch with immunity.
	All right, let's listen to that part then here.
	So it's an interesting flu year.
	Some of the same factors that are creating, if we're vaccinated, we may not.
	Interesting flu year.
	Some of the same factors that are creating this pandemic immunity gap that I mentioned for RSV are operative with the flu, right?
	So every year we are exposed to the flu.
	And even if we're vaccinated, we may not be protected.
	We know that the rate of protection from the vaccine can range from anywhere from 20 to 60%.
	We haven't really been exposed to the flu very much last year.
	The last two years we know the numbers of cases have been very low and what we might see is what Australia and the Southern Hemisphere saw during their winter which just ended.
	They saw a very early flu season with a lot higher numbers of of both cases and hospitalizations.
	And that's almost certainly because, again, we haven't had the opportunity to create collective immunity, and we really haven't had the opportunity to just get exposed.
	So I think most folks are worried that we're going to see that this year.
	I want to commend Blitzt2.
	In the troll room, he knows I'm a sucker for acronyms, and he correctly identifies Pandemic Immunity Gap as PIG.
	Yeah.
	I like that.
	I like that.
	We should have caught that.
	Yeah, I know.
	I can't believe we didn't catch that.
	Well, we don't catch a lot of them.
	The troll room does its job.
	They do, they do.
	Let me see if I have... I have one more thing here, I think, on the COVIDs, which is...
	Yeah, at least I was a little light.
	This is actually the Alberta Premier.
	Premier.
	Yeah, the Alberta Premier.
	Premier.
	And she dropped a big consulting contract with the World Economic Forum.
	Oh yeah, that's how they make their money.
	They send their own shills in to consult with you at a governmental level.
	And she says, no we're dropping it.
	I guess I find it distasteful when billionaires brag about how much control they have over political leaders as the head of that organization has.
	And I think that that is offensive.
	The people who should be directing government are the people who vote for them.
	And the people who vote for me and for my colleagues are people who live in Alberta and who are affected by our decisions.
	And so, quite frankly, until that organization stops bragging about how much control they have over political leaders, I have no interest in being involved with them.
	My focus is here in Alberta, solving problems for Albertans with the mandate from Albertans.
	There was a healthcare contract, too.
	I don't know what bankers do with a healthcare contract, but I'm sure it's all on the up-and-up.
	You played a clip earlier, the Biden clip, a little shorty.
	I have a similar one.
	I think it incorporates that clip, but this is still COVID.
	This is Biden and the booster news, NPR.
	President Biden has an extra COVID shot.
	He rolled up a sleeve yesterday for the latest booster.
	Now's the time to do it.
	By Halloween, if you can, that's the best time.
	And that way you can be protected for the holidays.
	Some research questions, though, whether the new bivalent... Did he say we can be protected from the holidays?
	Or for the holidays?
	Let me hear it again.
	Now's the time to do it.
	By Halloween, if you can, that's the best time.
	And that way you can be protected for the holidays.
	Some research questions, though, whether the new bivalent boosters that target Omicron are any better than the old shots.
	Researchers at Columbia and Harvard Universities studied that.
	Here's Dr. David Ho at Columbia.
	To our disappointment, the bivalent vaccine did not show superiority over the original vaccine.
	His team found that about a month after getting the shots, people did not have significantly higher levels of antibodies to neutralize the dominant Omicron sub-variants.
	But, Deepta Bhattacharya at the University of Arizona considers the new studies too small and too short for firm conclusions.
	For those who are saying, CC, I told you so.
	I would say, let's stand down a little bit and wait for some cleaner data to come out.
	Hey boys, let's give this crap the ivermectin treatment, shall we?
	You know what to do, boys.
	For firm conclusions.
	For those who are saying, I told you so, I would say, let's stand down a little bit and wait for some cleaner data to come out.
	Because these studies can't be used to support really one argument or another.
	Dr. John Wherry at the University of Pennsylvania is also saying to wait.
	It's a little bit of a sort of a reality check or a reset that the bivalent vaccines are not a magic bullet.
	They're not going to give us, you know, perfect protection from these new Omicron variants that are circulating.
	Only about 20 million people have stepped up to receive a new booster.
	Even though more than 10 times that number, over 200 million people have been eligible since Labor Day.
	Oh, goodness.
	So I don't know why they're letting those reports creep in.
	Obviously somebody's not ponying up enough cash.
	I actually had one of those clips, didn't clip it.
	And it was from a different source, but it was very similar.
	It's like, well, you know, they only tested on mice.
	It was long.
	Oh, it was like the breathy and well, maybe I do have that.
	It was like the breathy NPR guy.
	And he's like, well, you know, sadly, it's not really been tested on anything.
	But you know, the best thing is to get your booster.
	I was like, we can clip that all day.
	All day this.
	It seems to me that those guys that are coming on that particular report that you just played has three people.
	Oh, it's going, oh, I don't know, what's the point?
	And I think it's because somebody's not ponying up.
	Yeah, that's possible.
	We're the coffers.
	You know, where's our, you know, we're supposed to be getting a certain amount of money every quarter, and you guys are like backing off on us.
	It's all in limbo because, you know, all the extra cash that we created, money, went to the purchase of all the pharmaceuticals.
	That's kind of continuing with the latest purchase and this approval, if you recall.
	But the money to promote it, I don't see any renewal of that.
	It was billions.
	Billions went into TikTokers and all kinds of places, but mainly television promotions and advertisements.
	Billions, billions of government money.
	But I think that may have shut down.
	So now it's got to come from insurance companies.
	It's going to get interesting.
	But if the president's still promoting it, then, you know, there's still, there has to still be some... Oh, he's not only promoting it, he's promoting that, that... Paxlivid.
	...follow-up drug, Paxiv, whatever it's called.
	Paxlivid, yeah.
	Hey, man, it's great.
	It's great.
	All right, well, let's stick with Biden for a second.
	President Biden.
	I'm hearing a couple of things.
	I'm hearing, on one hand, a lot of, well, and maybe not just on all hands, hey, it's not really inflation.
	Wait a minute, I think I should play Nancy Pelosi for that.
	Hold on a second.
	Yes, this is literally the message and that's why Pelosi was on, I think this was Meet the Press.
	And the fact is that when I hear people talk about inflation, as I heard him there, we have to change that subject.
	Inflation is a global phenomenon.
	The EU, the European Union, the UK, the British have a higher inflation rate than we do here.
	The fight is not about inflation, it's about the cost of living.
	Yeah, this was actually a couple of shows ago.
	I almost got that clip, and I didn't remember to go back to it.
	She says it's not about inflation, it's about the cost of living.
	That's great.
	It's the stupidest possible thing you could ever say.
	Well, I think there's a reason for it, and thank you for correcting me.
	I didn't know that that was an old clip.
	It is pretty old.
	The point here is to blame the prices on the people selling the services and goods.
	And that's exactly what's happening.
	And, you know, that is a path to price controls, which I think we've discussed.
	It would be, yeah, it would be a bad idea.
	They're idiots.
	So who knows?
	Maybe they're going towards that.
	But Biden, he took it one step further because, you know, these airlines This is gouging everybody!
	Some airlines... I didn't put the music in, this is Fox News, so it does make it a little more dramatic.
	Some airlines, if you want six more inches between you and the seat in front, you pay more money.
	But you don't know it until you purchase your ticket.
	Look, folks, these are junk fees, they're unfair, and hitting marginalized Americans is the hardest, especially low-income folks and people of color.
	They're racist!
	The airlines are racist!
	I didn't get the whole thing and I wish I had.
	I only got a piece of it.
	This is another junk fees clip.
	What is this junk fees thing?
	I think it's better explaining Biden and the bank.
	President Biden's directing his administration to deliver more financial relief to millions of Americans.
	Today, he announced a crackdown on so-called junk fees.
	Biden describes these as unfair, often hidden charges customers can encounter when they buy concert tickets, check out of a hotel room, or do business with a bank.
	Imagine this.
	Your child outgrows his bicycle.
	And you decide to sell it online.
	And someone pays you a check.
	Pays you 30 bucks for the bicycle or something.
	Days later, that check that you got paid with, that you deposited in your bank, it bounces.
	You didn't know it was bound, but you get charged 15 bucks.
	You get charged 15 bucks.
	It's wrong.
	It's ridiculous.
	It's unfair.
	Well, I'm with him on these things.
	Of course, it's a huge rip-off.
	These junk fees are no good.
	And by the way, I like the way he's so stuck in the past with his dad and his mom and his old aphorisms.
	And checks?
	Who writes?
	I write about one check a month, maybe.
	May I share that out here, we write probably Seven to ten checks.
	People really want checks out here.
	They don't want Venmo.
	They don't want bank things.
	That's good.
	I think checks are great.
	I encourage it.
	I love it.
	It's such a, you know, you're handing over a piece of paper that says, I'm good for it, bro.
	And we have a local community bank, so if there's an issue, we can always go resolve it.
	I love that.
	But, like, for example, the chat room, where there's no agenda social, they would go on about checks.
	What's checks?
	What's a check?
	And there's a lot of kids that know what a check is.
	They don't have a checking account.
	Most Gen Z's don't have a checking account.
	And even when I was ridiculing the new Ruth Gader Ginsburg postage stamp, Somebody in the N.A.
	Social... Stamps?
	Who uses stamps?
	You know, they think the post office is out of existence.
	Oh yeah, there you go.
	What time is it?
	I don't know.
	What does that weird thing on the wall mean?
	Again, back to the clock on the wall.
	What's that thing with those dials?
	It must be some symbolism.
	Maybe it's religious.
	Illuminati.
	It's an Illuminati device.
	It's no good.
	Yeah.
	Oh, um...
	I had dinner with a former New York banker.
	Ah, good for you.
	Which was very nice.
	This brings us content.
	Well, it was very interesting.
	Does he know that he's an element of content?
	Does he ever listen to the show?
	He does.
	He does.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, good.
	He's been traveling a lot recently, opening hotels.
	I think that's where you want to put your money.
	So there's three things I learned.
	And he asked me, he started the questioning and he said, you know about cloud computing?
	I'm like, yeah, I guess I know a little bit.
	See, he was a firm believer in, and that strategy I think has now ended, of putting all of his long-term investment money into MasterCard.
	He says, because it's a never ending story.
	They just keep charging fees, fees go up, more people use it.
	And I think that's been very successful.
	And so he's looking to change or diversify.
	And he feels that cloud computing, and that's a very big term, will be the, you know, the growth industry over time that just grinds forever at five or 10% a year.
	And that's where he would want to allocate his investment.
	Thought that was interesting.
	I said, man, I think everyone's decentralizing.
	I don't know exactly where it's going, but... Now, then he had something, right off the bat, and I think this was an over... It was like he wanted to have a good meal and he was gonna hit me with the top-line strategies right off the bat, just so we didn't really have to discuss anything, because everything else is not important.
	And he says, China is over!
	And he said it with fire!
	And he said it kind of, and here I'll contradict myself, like he would think we would be talking about China all the time, like, oh, China's the worst!
	But yeah, he's been watching too much Newsmax.
	You know, the funny thing is about our show is we don't talk about China that much.
	No, it's boring.
	There's rarely anything good.
	It's boring.
	Yeah, there you go.
	Although I do have some Uyghur stories today, so there's that.
	Uyghurs are always interesting.
	Well, because they're picking cotton.
	It's slaves picking cotton.
	I mean, how can it not be funny?
	So he says, China's over.
	I'm like, okay, so we don't have to worry about anything.
	Why?
	They are in severe population decline.
	They could possibly be as low as this.
	He said it would be a disaster of epic proportion.
	He said, but it's possible there could only be 500 million Chinese left by 2050.
	And he said, the United States wins.
	Immigration, legal or not, we win.
	And that was really his overarching comment, and I had to think about it.
	I'm like, you know, that just makes sense.
	Now, it doesn't mean that the USA will be the biggest economy and will be, you know, prosperous.
	No, we'll all be slaves, obviously.
	But see, I don't think he cares about that.
	Nothing else matters.
	It's warm bodies that we can put to work or have to generate cash for to keep alive.
	How about that?
	I thought that was really kind of like, wow.
	Well, I'd have to discuss something with a demographer, a population expert of some sort.
	That's 500 million number.
	I mean, we do know that within the next few years, India is going to surpass China for population.
	Yeah, didn't come up, didn't come up, didn't come up.
	That's an interest.
	And he kind of didn't want to talk about India, I guess.
	No.
	Did you ask him about Goldman Sachs?
	No, we did talk about, you know, obviously what's going on with the Bank of England, with Credit Suisse, which is, you know, something has to go.
	You know, that was the general message there.
	But I was talking about, I said, hey man, it looked like they just put Liz Trust in there just for a moment, just to do all this funky business.
	And then what did he say?
	He said, I have it written down weirdly in my notes.
	You've taken notes at the table?
	Well I didn't, that's why it's hard, you know, so I'm trying to remember this stuff but I wrote it down this morning.
	I think the other main thing he said that all these other payment networks outside of SWIFT don't matter.
	And he kept saying the same thing.
	Look, if Apple Pay isn't connected to your payment network, then your network's no good.
	The network that has the most important nodes, that's the one that always wins.
	That seems like network theory to me.
	Oh, I remember what he said.
	Yeah, network theory.
	About the Bank of England and about the guilt.
	This used to be his job.
	He literally said to me, hey, you know, I sold him some of that.
	Some of that crap they had to unload.
	Which I thought was rather brazen.
	So, you know, it's like at a macro level.
	It's like, hey man, the elites are doing great.
	Everybody who had one house before COVID has two houses.
	Everyone had two houses before COVID has three houses.
	I'm quoting verbatim.
	And that's it.
	And everyone's just going to have to learn with it.
	Inflation is not going to go away.
	It's here to stay.
	And it's good.
	We just need more people.
	So cold, man.
	So cold.
	Well, inflation at this number is not... although it does traditionally float around this number, it's not a positive thing as far as I'm concerned.
	It's kind of a day wrecker.
	I kind of liked it when it was at 1%.
	You mean all the free money?
	Yeah, of course.
	Of course, that was dynamite.
	Well, then I might as well just run through this.
	I promise you they're not too long, but I do feel an obligation.
	I do feel an obligation to kind of take a... I do feel.
	I do feel.
	I do feel.
	I feel, but I really do feel.
	I think when you say you do feel, you're trying to convince yourself that you really feel.
	So, I guess I don't feel.
	I guess I'm full of crap.
	I'm just pretending to feel that I have an obligation to at least keep you up to speed on the development of central bank digital currencies.
	I am So far in agreement with you, the United States is still talking a big game, but not really.
	And is it unlikely they will ever do it?
	And the United States and the U.S.
	dollar have a different position than any other currency.
	So I'm not going to argue that, but I did just want to give you a little, because it felt like you could use a little bit of info about how broad this is being discussed outside of the U.S.
	financial system.
	And it starts with dishy-rishy.
	Dishi Rishi, the new Prime Minister of the UK!
	I picked that up from the sun.
	Dishi Rishi.
	Rishi Sunak, who was the chancellor of the Exchequer during Boris Johnson's regime in 2021.
	This video was about three minutes, but I cut it down to under one.
	Let's do a little more intro with this guy.
	We got to remind people he's a World Economic Forum guy.
	He's a Stanford graduate, MBA from Stanford.
	I think he's also a Fulbright scholar.
	Yeah, he's married into the right family getting married into a super-rich family the Infosys guy if anyone remembers that company the Indian yeah his wife Infosys which was gonna I don't even know what it was supposed to do when it was in business that was during the dot-com era and somehow the guy managed to slip through the dot-com collapse and became a billion an Indian billionaire we know what those guys are like well his daughter that sounded kind of racist
	Well, I want to... Okay, I'm gonna... I have an anecdote.
	Elaborate.
	Yeah, please do.
	So, I am... I'm doing... This is gonna be a... I know it's gonna be typical of this broadcasting stuff, but there's a guy who's doing a documentary on Adam Osborne, so he came over to the house to... Oh, this is recent, right?
	Yeah, like, this week.
	Yeah.
	Oh, cool.
	And, uh, he came over to the house to shoot, uh, an interview, the kind of interview, you know, where you're talking off camera, and then he got another camera with your face.
	Side shots, side shots, moody lighting.
	Yeah, it's the worst.
	I hate it.
	Where did they do it?
	The only reason they do the side shot is because they're hoping for some spittle.
	I know this for a fact.
	They are.
	Am I wrong?
	Yeah, a little moisture on the lips in silhouette is beautiful.
	Yeah.
	Beautiful.
	Especially when you get it to pop.
	Did you make sure your lips were wiped clean?
	Not chapped?
	So the guy did everything I could to try to, and I was nice to the guys, I tried to make sure, because I knew the guy was producing and I think it was the guy editing it.
	And so I was being nice.
	But the guy who's the overall executive producer, the guy doing it, is this Indian guy.
	And I've noticed this over the years.
	So this Indian guy, he's just shooting some b-roll here and there.
	In the house?
	Yeah, downstairs.
	Can I go upstairs and look at your podcasting rig?
	No.
	No, even Curry hasn't seen that.
	Even Curry hasn't seen that.
	15 years, will I ever get to see it?
	I think it's time.
	A lot of people have seen it.
	I haven't.
	So, uh, the guy, uh, he says, well, you, I have a lot of books and I says, get, where's the picture?
	Where's all your books?
	Tell me books.
	I get about 12 books over the years.
	Where's all your books?
	And they will put you right there and we'll take a shoot you there with your books.
	I said, I don't have any of the books here.
	And the guys, this Indian guy is just completely baffled.
	And he says, no, you've got books.
	You did books.
	Yeah, I got books.
	Did he have an accent?
	Yeah, he did.
	I'm not doing the accent, but he had an accent.
	He had the Indian accent.
	Where are your books at?
	Pretty much.
	And he says, do you have the Osborne book?
	Because I wrote this book without a Osborne.
	He says, you got that book?
	No, he had the Breen one.
	I said, I know there's some around.
	There could be anywhere.
	I don't have a memorial to my books anywhere.
	Pull this string.
	Let's see what happens.
	So I kept telling him this and he was just beside himself thinking, this is not possible that anybody would not have a display of the stuff they did so they can brag about it.
	This is Indian mentality.
	They have this need to show off.
	And I've noticed this over the years of all the Indians that I know.
	They all do this, especially Brahmins.
	They all have to have their little, you know, shrine to themselves, to themselves.
	And so they're completely befuddled by somebody like me.
	I don't care who's coming.
	Who am I trying to impress?
	So it's like, right to the end, he was just convinced that I must have had a shrine to myself somewhere.
	I just wouldn't show it to him.
	Well, there's also a little bit of mainstream media mentality in there, because I've had that too, where people say, well, where's all your awards and all your stuff?
	It's in the garage.
	Look, it's on the wall.
	My wife was kind enough to hang it up on that wall, you know, where I parked the car.
	Well, I told my, when I had all these projects going on, I said, my mom kept all that stuff.
	That's where, you know, it goes to your parents.
	Let them show it off to their friends.
	Yeah, after my mom passed, she had kept a scrapbook, and I think my sister sent it to me.
	It's really cute.
	But it was very, very early Adam stuff, and then it ended.
	I think she was pissed at me.
	So that's what that stems from, a recent experience.
	Okay.
	So this guy is elite.
	He's married into the elite family.
	He is being called the richest prime minister ever, but it's really, of course... I wonder if there's a prenup, you know?
	Did you catch this one?
	What?
	No, no one asked that, but did you catch this one?
	He's richer than Charles III.
	Nice one.
	Did you catch this at all?
	No, I didn't see that, but I believe it.
	And that is such malarkey!
	Don't say malarkey.
	I get worried when you say these things.
	What, are you going to pull a Joe on me?
	No, I'm sorry.
	I mean, that's such baloney.
	There you go.
	Yeah.
	That's a Gingrich.
	Baloney.
	Gingrich always said that.
	So, this clip is actually kind of good for both of us, because you can poo-poo him as an idiot, and I can say, hey, he's all in on what's coming.
	Here he is, Dishi Rishi, from 2021, when he was the Secretary of the Treasury.
	Today, I'm proud to say that under the UK's presidency, the group of the world's seven most advanced economies, the G7, is launching a set of public policy principles for retail central bank digital currencies, CBDCs.
	Central bank digital currencies could be a digital version of money, a bit like a digital banknote that could be used alongside physical notes and coins.
	Unlike most of the digital money people use daily today, it would be issued directly by a central bank, like the Bank of England in the UK.
	And governments and central banks across the world are working together, looking into what having a digital currency might mean in practice.
	This includes issues that people care about, such as ensuring users' money would be safe and secure, that it could work with other ways to pay, would be energy efficient and available to everyone.
	A potential CBDC could offer businesses and consumers new ways to pay in the future.
	It's all part of the wider story of digital innovation that has delivered benefits to millions around the world and in the UK.
	Can't wait for it.
	Tell that to the people of Cyprus who had like, what is it, 10 or 15 percent of their money in all their digital bank accounts just extracted.
	Disappeared.
	Well no, he wouldn't tell them the plan.
	That's the whole idea, is to have complete control over people like the people in Cyprus.
	No, no, no, no, we're not going to explain it.
	So then, someone sends me, from this past week, a symposium at the IMF.
	So, Rishi is the World Economic Forum, another IMF.
	We're a real player in the financial system, you know, they go and they bail out Cyprus, you know, give them that digital evaporating money you just discussed.
	So someone sends me this first, these are all short, this first clip, there's only a couple, and I'm watching this and her name is Cecilia Skingsley and she is the head of the Bank of International Settlements Innovation Hub.
	Which, of course, is a bullcrap title.
	But the Bank of International Settlements, this is the bank that does the settlements of transactions between central banks.
	So, again, a player.
	And here's what she was saying, because this message will be consistent, and I think everyone will be saying this as a way to roll it in, because the name of this... Groupthink.
	Yes.
	The name of this symposium was, CBDCs for Financial Inclusion, Risks and Rewards.
	As has already been touched upon, introducing a CVDC into a society is not just a universal solution.
	It has to come in a package.
	So digital literacy, understanding what it means to have, first of all, have access to a digital ID and understanding I heard a little laughter in there.
	to use such a thing.
	I think also this digital society is raising a lot of questions about data privacy.
	I think this is not only about money, but in so many different ways.
	Oh, I heard a little laugh tell in there.
	Not so much about money.
	I think this is not only about money, but in so many different ways.
	It's up to the politicians to really decide on this.
	It's not a role for me as a central banker, but having a possibility to actually choose how much digital footprints you want to leave, I think, is a good starting point.
	So here's the general concept of how they are selling this.
	This is for financial inclusion, for the unbanked, and it'll be really good for everybody because Your central bank will allow you to share only that financial data that you want to share with any other financial service for loans or credit or anything like that, or for background check.
	Of course, implying that the central bank will have that information, which just makes it cool.
	Yeah, and that'll work just like it does on all those apps on your phone that demand to use this and that and the other thing, or it won't work.
	Oh, yeah.
	It's like, I need your location.
	I need to access your phone book.
	I need to access your, you know, it's exactly.
	Or it won't work.
	Or it won't work.
	Then the next, so now, so I'm looking at this, oh, this is like a three hour thing.
	And I see the keynote speaker.
	You'll never guess who the woman, Not American.
	Who is the keynote speaker for this CBDC financial inclusion?
	Well, it's not Vandalion, is it?
	Close.
	That level.
	That level, no.
	It's better.
	Christine Lagarde?
	No, she's always talking about it.
	I wouldn't bore you with a clip from her.
	The Dutch queen, Queen Máxima, did the keynote.
	Oh, your queen, your queen.
	My queen did the keynote.
	And all of a sudden it went, oh, when she just married then the prince.
	And she's just like a party girl from Argentina.
	I mean, her dad was Zoranjeta.
	He wasn't even allowed in the country to be at the wedding because of his war crimes.
	So, party girl, Maxima, who learns Dutch very quickly, in a couple of years, and then she's doing all cool things with the kids, like promoting swimming, and she jumped into the canal with the kids.
	I think we reported on that.
	But she was also doing financial literacy.
	And her whole platform, 40 years now, has been financial literacy amongst children.
	So we understand how to use a bank account, and how to get a credit card, and how to use credit responsibly.
	It's literally this disgusting.
	So it's really obvious that she's been groomed for moments like this.
	Now, here's where Tina and I disagree, because I thought she had a massive fashion emergency.
	Her hair looked ratty, like the rats had been eaten.
	It was stringy.
	I mean, she could have put beads in.
	She could have been Bo Derek.
	She had a peach suit on, a pantsuit, but the top, it had, like, no structure.
	It looked like it was made from the same material as Eddie Murphy's Gumby suit.
	You know what I mean?
	It was like... It was very... I thought it was horrible.
	Tina thought it was okay.
	Tina said, nah, she looks better here than she did when she met you.
	Okay, when she hair flips.
	There may be some element of bias involved.
	You think?
	You think?
	My queen, yes.
	No, my queen is here in Fredericksburg.
	But anyway, here's the Dutch queen.
	Good one, huh?
	Here is, I mean that.
	I mean that.
	Here is the Dutch Queen, Maxima, to kick us off into the central bank digital currency era.
	Well, with such an introduction, I hope I do not say something that is not up below your expectations, Kristalina.
	Thank you so much for having me here.
	It's kind of a sad flood right off the beginning.
	That's a terrible way to start.
	She also said, I hope I don't come in below your...
	She said it the wrong way.
	Whatever she did, you don't start off like that.
	That was her ad-lib, that's the problem.
	She'd be better off starting off with a crappy joke.
	But anyway, go on.
	I think that was her ad-lib, the rest came from script.
	I hope I do not say something that is not up below your expectations.
	Something that is not below your expectations.
	She didn't say that, she said nort.
	She said North Shore, I'm sorry.
	You are correct, sir.
	For having me here.
	Because it is a pleasure to be back with you in person at this year's annual meeting, finally in person.
	Yay!
	These are difficult times.
	Yes.
	For people everywhere.
	By the way, stop.
	She's hyperventilating.
	Oh, she's very nervous.
	She's very nervous.
	She can't catch her breath, literally.
	She can't catch her breath.
	Yeah, she's hyperventilating.
	It happens sometimes.
	And once you start, it's only happened to me a couple of times, but it has happened.
	It's happened to me once on stage where you can't breathe, you're just like... Well, you can't, you know, the problem with hyperventilating in front of an audience is that you can't stop it.
	Very hard, very hard.
	It's just a weird, it's like, and because your body gets senses and goes, oh, and then you're screwed.
	And then, yeah, and then she's probably through her mind is going, man, I should have gone to Pierre for my hair.
	And what is this Gumby outfit I'm wearing?
	These are difficult times for people everywhere.
	We're all seeking new ways to tackle the challenges before us.
	From Covid, to conflict, to inflation, to climate change.
	In that context, the rise of inclusive finance offers a genuine good news story.
	Finally, some good news.
	Good news!
	Over the last decade, a quarter of the world's adult population has gained access to financial services.
	Today, 76% of adults globally are now in some way financially included.
	This has provided billions of people with new opportunities to build resilience, weather shocks, and invest in a more prosperous future.
	Today, we're here to discuss a potential new tool that may- Whoa!
	There's a little uptalk thing for ya!
	New tool!
	You could have said a potential new tool.
	A potential new tool!
	This has provided billions of people with new opportunities to build resilience, weather shocks, and invest in a more prosperous future.
	Today, we're here to discuss a potential new tool that many see as an opportunity to increase inclusion even further.
	Okay.
	banks around the world are considering whether to issue their own digital currencies, or CBDCs, and are eager to understand the opportunities and risks that they might bring.
	Oh, beautiful.
	So there's your inclusion.
	In mind, CBDCs could offer many options to expand access to the underbanked and to serve the vulnerable and the poor.
	Oh, beautiful.
	So there's your inclusion.
	Did she say expand taxes?
	I didn't hear her say that.
	Did she say that?
	No.
	I don't think she said that.
	No, in span, access, not taxes.
	Oh, access, not taxes.
	Oh.
	Yeah.
	Not taxes, access.
	Yes, you need access.
	Okay.
	Final short one.
	So what her job is amongst this whole forum, I think it might have all been women, is to say don't pay attention to what this thing really is, pay attention to Inclusivity, equity, and also we should be arguing about how we teach children to use it.
	Not about what it does.
	We need to teach children how to use it.
	Put that in the education.
	Put on the curriculum.
	Not what it does.
	Don't explain that to them.
	Teach them to use it.
	A good design of CBDCs could actually give people more control of their transactional data and the ability to share it with a wider set of financial sector providers.
	Yet, growing concerns about data privacy would need to be addressed by hardwiring personal data protections into the structure of a CBDC.
	It is clear that more dialogue, research and trials are needed to show how and when CBDCs can best become engines of financial inclusion.
	Engines of financial inclusion.
	Share your data with... It's a total financial exclusion.
	How do I give a homeless guy five bucks using one of these digital nothings?
	He'll have a card.
	These are exclusionary moves to get rid of the homeless and to kill the poor.
	But they can all have a QR code.
	What do you mean?
	You'll just... the homeless person will be there.
	Hey homeless guy.
	Hey man.
	I need... I need to take the bus.
	Sure man.
	Let me scan your QR code.
	Clink.
	They'll give him a phone or a device or a card.
	No, no, no, no.
	This is beautiful.
	It's not exclusionary.
	It's slavery.
	That's what it is.
	It's enslaving.
	That's what it is.
	I think that's the second element.
	I think exclusionary is the first element, getting rid of the poor is the second element, and slavery is the third element.
	That's the third element, not the second.
	Okay, well it's all good.
	This is terrible.
	It's all groovy.
	We're headed in the right direction.
	For sure.
	Okay, now back to Sunak.
	Sunak is not universally loved, the new Prime Minister.
	Oh no, they hate him, actually.
	Oh, man!
	In fact, he's never run for office.
	I think locally he got in somehow in some screwy way, but he's never won a popular election.
	He's very arrogant.
	He's like the worst kind of British upper class guy.
	Now you know who he reminds me of?
	Beto.
	Just look at him.
	Rich wife from the family.
	He can't rub two nickels together.
	Kind of cute guy.
	Dishy rishy.
	This is the Beto.
	They let Beto in.
	They let Beto win.
	Beto has conquered the UK.
	Do you see the similarity?
	The more you say it, the more I'm thinking about it, the more I'm liking it.
	I'm not going to argue this point.
	Here's Question Time with the Prime Minister.
	Ian Blackford, who is from Scotland, explains why he doesn't like the Prime Minister.
	Yesterday the Prime Minister appointed a Home Secretary who was forced to resign only last week for breaching the ministerial code and who boasted, boasted that she dreamed of sending vulnerable asylum seekers to Rwanda.
	We all know why he appointed her, a sleazy backroom deal to shore up his own position.
	Far from being a fresh start, this is a return to the sleaze and scandal and ghosts of Cabinet's past.
	The Prime Minister promised to govern with integrity and humility, so if he has an ounce of either, will he admit his mistake and sack the Home Secretary without the delay?
	Mr Speaker, I was pleased to actually have a call last night with the First Minister of Scotland.
	It was important that I spoke to her on my first day in office because I wanted to express my desire to work constructively with the Scottish Government so that we can work together to deliver for the people of Scotland and that is what I plan to do.
	And indeed, I hope crime is one of the things that we can collaborate on.
	Because he will know that violent crime is... I like how he just doesn't answer the question.
	...rising in Scotland and police numbers are falling.
	Whereas here, we are increasing police numbers, Mr Speaker.
	But I look forward, I look forward to working with the Scottish Government on our shared challenges because I believe in a strong United Kingdom.
	There it is, Rishi O'Rourke.
	Everybody.
	Dishy Rishi.
	Dishy Rishi O'Rourke.
	Yeah, it could be a template.
	Well, I think he's another placeholder.
	I think at some point they're going to have to have an election.
	I guess it was 2025, 2024.
	They're going to have, I don't know what the...
	The conservatives are going to do because they're splitting two factions and they don't have their act together.
	No, no, no.
	Labor will somehow get back in and they'll screw up the country enough to get the conservatives back in.
	They'll kill half the country.
	And then Penny Mordant will finally get in.
	Your girl will finally get in.
	I think I was all for Rishi Dishi until you played that clip for me.
	I was like, oh yeah, she totally sabotaged Liz.
	And then I foolishly went over into your camp.
	I never thought she was going to win it.
	I kept saying dark horse, dark horse, dark horse.
	Oh yeah, you did say that.
	You did say that.
	They have the same problems that our political system have, or has.
	The same problem which is next man up.
	Yes.
	And since Rishi Dishi was the guy who ran against Liz, he broke through to the point where they had the two of them face off, and she got it.
	He's next man up, so he had to get it.
	Well, we'll see.
	We'll see how that goes.
	I mean, it was phenomenal to see the pound rebound up to like 116 from the depth of 103.
	We missed that trip to London, didn't we?
	We didn't make that fast enough.
	It was only a couple.
	By the time you got there, it had gone back up.
	It had gone back up.
	So who knows?
	And I was like, oh, the Fed is... I don't care.
	Whatever, we'll see what happens.
	Just a little side note, PG Tips ships their tea, if you buy it from Amazon, straight from- I think it's super cheap right now.
	From straight from UK, it says straight over, you get it like the next day.
	And it's like you get two packs of 240 bags of PG tips.
	In other words, you get 480 bags of tea.
	For five bucks.
	No, it wasn't quite that low, but it's 10 bucks a box.
	And which is like, you know, you have to get 80.
	For ten bucks.
	I mean, this is really dirt cheap.
	Yeah.
	What else can we buy?
	Is that all we can buy from the UK?
	Well, I think, no, anything you can get from the UK would be a good deal.
	Like what?
	But what do they have?
	Fish and chips?
	Well, get yourself a Range Rover.
	You'd be fit right in in Texas.
	Never again will I drive a Range Rover.
	As the thing falls apart as you drive down the road.
	Range Rover and heat do not mix very well.
	Remember I had the Range Rover that I had to give away to 1-800-CARS-FOR-KIDS?
	Yes, you did.
	The right-hand door wouldn't open.
	Well, buying a used Range Rover, which is how you started this process, was probably your first mistake.
	Yeah, but then I learned a lot about the brand new ones.
	Right when the warranty runs out, that's when the electric seat stops working.
	It's all kinds of horrible stuff with those cars.
	There's a number of cars that are built to die with the warranty.
	It's very strange, but true.
	Just as a quick side note, Ford announced that they are pulling out of the autonomous car race.
	They said, let some other sucker do that.
	We spent two billion dollars.
	We're not going to do it anymore.
	We're done.
	I think that was a wise move.
	Of course it was.
	It's crazy.
	Although every car these days has some kind of co-pilot functionality.
	That's pretty cool.
	You know, keeps you on the road, steers a bit for you, you can scratch your butt for 15 seconds before it makes you put your hands back on the wheel.
	Almost every car has that now.
	In fact, I have this clip from the last show, you can look it up in the database.
	Musk Tesla software update.
	This is such bullcrap.
	Did we play that clip?
	I don't think so, but we will now.
	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...
	You're right, because I bitched you about the $15,000 fee.
	Let's play it again, just so people remember.
	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.
	Yeah, FSD.
	Full self-drive.
	So I think that if you notice, this announcement came, then Ford did their thing afterwards.
	Yep.
	They took one look and said, this is bullcrap.
	We're wasting money on this.
	And Ford must have come to the realization, which I think I would have, is that, hey, when this finally comes to be, There's going to be third parties selling this stuff on a licensing basis.
	It's going to be a lot cheaper than us developing it, spending billions and billions of dollars.
	Exactly what they said.
	And they sent two billion into it.
	Yeah, wait it out.
	It took a two billion loss.
	So throughout the show so far, we've had a number of laugh tells.
	And I want you to see if you can catch this laugh tale, because I thought it was just like, wow, that was a slick one.
	This is AOC, Sandy Cortez, and she is being interviewed by the guys from Pod Save America.
	It was really weird.
	They were interviewing her like in a conference room and it wasn't a studio, but they were all passing the mic back and forth between each other.
	You couldn't lure her into the studio.
	You had to do it in a conference room.
	Anyway, they're asking her about, I think it's about Fetterman.
	And see if you can spot the laugh tale.
	How do you convince people you talk to on the trail that Democratic Party gets their challenges, will fight for them when they don't necessarily see themselves reflected in the people on TV all the time?
	Yeah, I mean, I'm honest with people.
	I'm not here to sell people.
	Very funny.
	I want to play it again.
	I'm honest with people.
	I'm not here to sell people on this idea that like our, our, the leadership of the Democratic Party, which is overwhelmingly from one generation, almost uniformly from one generation.
	True.
	The Pelosi's and Biden are both from the silent generation.
	And most of the rest of them are boomers.
	And then there's quite a few ex-Jenners in the Democrat Party.
	She's full of shit.
	Man, you've said bullshit.
	You've said shit.
	I mean, you're really laying it on today.
	I think it's because... It's the anniversary.
	No, I think it's because of what happened to you.
	A magnitude 5.1 earthquake shook the San Francisco Bay Area today.
	It was the strongest they've seen in eight years.
	It was centered in the hills east of San Jose, about 40 miles southeast of downtown San Francisco.
	There are no reports of any serious injuries or damage.
	How bad was it, John?
	It must have been horrible, this 5.1, which I think... You know, it's funny, because I come downstairs, I'm doing some work during the earthquake, for the show, and I come downstairs and Mimi says, did you feel the earthquake?
	I said, no, what earthquake?
	She says, I don't know, I didn't feel it either, but I got an alert on my phone.
	And so I said, well, that's weird.
	So I turn on the news.
	That's all they talked about all day, all the news show.
	Oh, 5.1, 5.1.
	Did you feel it?
	Nobody felt this earthquake.
	It didn't knock anything over.
	It didn't knock a building.
	It didn't do anything.
	We're so hard up to have a big earthquake that we can talk about that they didn't milk this one like there was no tomorrow.
	It was ridiculous.
	The former New York banker, Just comes to mind, was taking one of his kids to see the Berkeley campus.
	You know, it's college time, so they're going all around and looking at different colleges.
	I don't think it was his, I think it was more like, hey kid, I'm going to show you some boots, some sandals, I'm going to show you the shoe you really want.
	So maybe the Berkeley trip was the sandal or the boot.
	But he said, quote, wow, I know why Dvorak doesn't want to leave the Berkeley area.
	Why?
	He says it's stunningly beautiful.
	He said it is so beautiful and he says I've never seen so many fit looking old people.
	Well he's sure not going to the places I go.
	Okay.
	Let's see.
	I mean, did he notice that half of the people around here are still masked up like it was two years ago?
	He did mention that.
	And they're all wearing 95s and the dumb-looking duck masks.
	Of course, of course, of course.
	Hey, can I make a suggestion?
	Just a programming note, just a thought, and you let me know what you think.
	I can't remember how he did this in previous years, but because it is our 15th anniversary celebration week, celebrating 15 years of no agenda,
	As of the 26th, yesterday, through to episode 1500, which will be next Thursday, my thinking was, would it make sense to do all of the execs, associate execs, then read everyone down to 50, go through, just do the whole first and second segment together and then wind up with some dynamite crap where people say, holy moly, I'm glad I waited through the whole donation segment?
	We never did that before, but I would try.
	I would give it a shot, but that's going to mean that when we get to... For one thing, I want to warn people in advance, we have a very long thank you segment for donations, especially the higher ones.
	Yeah.
	And then the list of names to thank for the 50 and above is quite lengthy, and it will take us an hour.
	More.
	Or longer to get through this list, and we should probably start it sooner than later, like now.
	No, no, no, no, not yet.
	We should do a few more things.
	But I think to do the whole thing in one, that means when we go to the second part where I just read all the names, we're gonna have to let me read, and I don't want to go back and forth and back and forth like a couple of bozos.
	I'll read as many names and just throw it to you, and then you start reading.
	Yeah, that's fine.
	Yeah, we're just gonna blow through it, of course.
	But, you know, we've got execs and associate execs and we've got a nighting, a daming ceremony, which is quite large.
	Oh, the daming ceremony and nighting ceremony is outrageous today.
	It's large.
	Well, this was the inflation special, which I appreciate.
	I think a lot of people appreciated that.
	Well, a lot of people sure said they did.
	Yeah.
	And a lot of people just got in by accident, which is like the mail-ins and the rest.
	But we're having two more of these and then it'll be the end of it.
	And this is very useful for the show to have, to bring more people on board and getting upgraded.
	A lot of people use it as a moment to get upgraded.
	And we do have an Insta-Baron at the top of the list, which is interesting, our first guy.
	But yes.
	Let's, uh, let's do a little Russia.
	Because I think we need to, uh... I have Russia.
	Yeah.
	You got... I got some Russia.
	You got Russia?
	Do you have Russia?
	Do you have all of Russia?
	I got Russia.
	Bring me Russia.
	Bring on your Russia!
	Well, I've got... Let's try these.
	This is Ukraine and the Republicans.
	Oh.
	Oh, okay.
	Uh, here we go.
	With midterms fast approaching, Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has signaled that Republicans would rein in military aid to Ukraine should they take the House.
	Meanwhile, 30 House Democrats in the Progressive Caucus retracted a letter they signed urging President Biden to negotiate with Russia to end the war in Ukraine.
	For more on how Congress is thinking about the future of US support for Ukraine, let's bring in NBC senior congressional reporter Scott Wong.
	Hi Scott!
	Which media outlet is this?
	You'd wonder, wouldn't you?
	Because they're bringing in NBC correspondents to talk.
	To talk on NPR.
	Hi, Scott.
	Oh, so he's, oh, he's a made man.
	Oh, interesting.
	Thumbs up.
	Thumbs up.
	Hi, good to be with you.
	Hi.
	So support for Ukraine initially had broad bipartisan support, but months later, many Republicans seem to be turning against Biden's strategy here.
	What's the political calculation they're making?
	Well, I think they're listening to some of their voters and constituents who are concerned about all of the spending that has poured into the economy lately, the spending that has come out of Washington that has tens of billions of dollars that have gone towards Ukraine.
	And so Kevin McCarthy and Republicans who are poised to take back the majority in a couple weeks here, are threatening to withhold some of that aid.
	They have said that they are not prepared to write a blank check for Ukraine if they do take back the majority.
	They said that some of that funding may dry up.
	And so that has caused quite a bit of consternation from the Ukrainians and from Democrats who are allied with Ukraine, and who are now hammering them, saying that they are refusing to stand with Ukraine.
	So it's a very interesting situation.
	What?
	just cannot stand. - This peacenik thing is going on within the Republican parties, and the Democrats must be beside, at least some of them, who have always been peaceniks, are like the big warmongers, and it's being pointed out, and this is what this is actually really about, which is and it's being pointed out, and this is what this is actually really you guys have always been talking about this, that, and the other thing about peace, peace, peace, is, you know, including disarmament,
	And now you're just throwing money like crazy at Ukraine.
	I mean, explain please, but they can't do it.
	And you mentioned Republican members hearing from their constituents about concerns.
	How widespread do you think that is in the general public?
	Has public support turned against support for Ukraine?
	Well, if you remember, it was just a little bit more than a year ago that we pulled our troops out of Afghanistan.
	There was a desire to bring Americans home, to stop spending money abroad.
	The one argument that I have heard repeated from Republicans is that, you know, before we spend tens of billions of dollars abroad in Ukraine as they fight that terrible war against Russia, we need to shore up the southern border.
	This is something that we're hearing from conservative Republicans, certainly Republicans down in Texas.
	They fight that terrible war against Russia.
	We need to shore up the southern border.
	This is something that we're hearing from conservative Republicans, certainly Republicans down in Texas and in Arizona.
	And so that is one of the arguments that they are making, that let's spend money here at home first and protect our border before we protect another country's border.
	Yeah, but the military aid for Ukraine has already been approved for next year, so how much could a Republican majority in the House, should that happen, how much could they really do about it?
	Well, right now there is a debate happening about when exactly that money would dry up for Ukraine.
	Some people think in the middle of next year.
	There is a big push on both sides of the aisle from Republicans and Democrats that are very much concerned about the situation in Ukraine to try to get a really large package, tens of billions of dollars, passed in the lame duck session.
	Before what many expect Republicans will be taking over the House of Representatives in the new year.
	And so there is a big bipartisan push.
	We will start to hear more about that in the days and weeks after the election.
	But there is that very narrow window where Democrats will still be in control of both houses of Congress.
	And there will be a number of Republicans that will want to cooperate with them to ensure that Ukraine is funded through 2023.
	Huh.
	Well, that's interesting.
	Before we move, I have 14 seconds because, you know, this also happened just this week.
	And the White House is responding to 30 Democrats from the Progressive Caucus who want President Biden to push for peace talks to end the war in Ukraine.
	Spokesman John Kirby said Vladimir Putin's actions make it clear he is not willing to negotiate.
	Yeah, and then they withdrew it right away.
	They withdrew it, yeah.
	Suckers!
	You know, just to bring in a Marxist analysis of economic analysis which is has modern Marxist economists have always had this idea that war is a good thing for the economy and the Democrats have always fallen into this in the Vietnam War was always seen as the way the savior of the economy And then the World War II supposedly is what stopped the depression.
	It's all nonsense, but it's interesting.
	And so if they were really honest with the public, they'd say the following, look, these wars are good for our economy because we're spending a lot of money to these big companies like Raytheon and Lockheed Martin and all these things to support a war that we're kind of involved in, but nobody in our side's getting killed!
	We're letting all these other guys get killed in our place, but we still get to spend the money and it's really good for the economy.
	That's kind of what's going on in the way I see it.
	Yeah, but they would never admit something like that because it's sick.
	Well, they might not admit it, but they certainly acted.
	Did you see Rubio during his debate?
	No.
	Oh, man.
	Listen to this.
	Sorry, Senator, I have 30 more seconds.
	Well, just to add, I think the response needs to be proportional.
	And that, what I mean by that is, that the NATO alliance will have... This is, uh, talking about, well, you know, Putin... This may be Dirty Bomb, Nuclear Toxic!
	have to meet and this can't be unilateral the nato alliance will have to meet and decide what is a proportional response and that would depend on the nature and level of the attack but it has to be an allied response not simply a u.s one that's what's most critical here it's not anything at our disposal because we're not talking about the use of strategic weapons or starting world war three but there needs to be one i would argue to you tonight that they've already attacked nato Because the North Stream Pipeline underwater, that supplies Germany from Russia, has been bombed.
	It was bombed.
	And everyone's wondering, I saw a news report, well they're saying Russia may have done it.
	Well who else did it?
	Luxembourg?
	Belgium?
	Of course it was Russia.
	Senator, can you wrap this up in ten seconds?
	I need to move on.
	Alright.
	We good?
	Dopey Rubio.
	Who else do you have?
	Belgium?
	This guy's worse and worse.
	Belgium?
	He's on the Senate Intelligence Committee, which is very powerful.
	I think he's the second guy in command over there.
	He's read in on everything.
	Shame on you, little Marco.
	Let's go to the last clip of this.
	I had Ukraine and Republic.
	That's one and two.
	Okay, now I have Ukraine.
	I have two more clips.
	Wait, we didn't play two.
	I think we only played one.
	We haven't played two yet.
	No, that's how you play both.
	No, here's two.
	And you mentioned Republican members hearing from their constituents about concerns.
	How widespread do you think that is in the general public?
	Has public support turned against support for Ukraine?
	Well, if you remember, it was just a little bit more than a year ago that we pulled our troops out of Afghanistan.
	You played that?
	I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	All right.
	Uh, try this one.
	This is the... I have two others and that's the end.
	You can take it.
	But try Ukraine showdown.
	This is NPR.
	Russian officials say as many as 70,000 people have left their homes in Ukraine's Kherson province.
	And P.S.
	Frank Ordonez reports fighting's intensifying as Ukraine's military seeks to take back the important city.
	Residents were urged to evacuate the right bank of Kherson as Ukrainian forces continue to advance on the region in southern Ukraine.
	Ina Lukyanova runs a center here in Zaporizhia where displaced people are gathering before traveling to other parts of the country.
	She's saying people are really desperate, that they're willing to wait days, even weeks, in line trying to get out of the occupied territory and back into safer parts of Ukraine.
	Russian and Ukrainian troops are anticipating a major battle over the city that is seen as key to control of the south.
	But Ukrainian officials say the Russians are bringing in more troops in hopes of holding their position.
	This will be a little conflagration.
	You know, the mind control is so strong on this that...
	Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
	was on the Megyn Kelly show.
	And it was kind of cool.
	It was a little combative.
	You know, she's still kind of, you know, a big farmer girl in a way.
	And he said, you know, something happened.
	My son, who is in college, he called me up and said, Dad, I'm going somewhere.
	He's 26.
	Dad, I'm going somewhere.
	I don't want to ask questions.
	You don't need to know.
	I'll tell you when I've done what I had to do.
	And so he didn't, of course.
	He's a grown man.
	And you know what his son did?
	Joined the Ukraine army, the mercenaries.
	What was that called?
	The Ukraine foreign legion.
	Yeah.
	And went and fought.
	And he came back after several months and I just felt like I had to do it.
	Putin's a bully and I had to do it.
	I had to go and help out.
	That's how strong the programming is.
	It is good.
	It works.
	It's really good.
	It's impressively good.
	Impressive.
	Now we have this one little clip, last clip for me.
	Iran and Russia meddling.
	This is a clip because there's a certain kind of ironies in this clip that are Just head-shaking.
	The White House is sending a stark warning to Iran amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
	NPR's Windsor Johnston reports the administration says evidence the two countries are colluding inside Ukraine is clear and public.
	National Security Council spokesman John Kirby is accusing Iran of supplying drones.
	Oh, he's now the national security spokesman.
	I see.
	He was always the Pentagon spokesman.
	He has the national security spokesman.
	That's a cool gig.
	Spokesman John Kirby is accusing Iran of supplying drones and otherwise enabling Russian forces to kill Ukrainians and damage critical infrastructure in the country.
	They're now on the ground in Crimea, assisting in that effort.
	The transfer of these drones absolutely is a violation of UN Security Council Resolution 2231, which prohibits the transfer of missile-related goods, equipment, and technologies to or from Iran.
	The White House says it's also seeing signs that Russia may be training Iran on how to crack down on protests, drawing on the Kremlin's experience in suppressing open demonstrations.
	Oh, nice.
	Hey, Vlad, we've been pretty successful since the 70s, but give us a few pointers.
	How do we crack these heads?
	Sure.
	Sure.
	Yeah.
	Right.
	That's so distressing.
	That is, by the way, that clip I would call the stupidest thing I've heard this week.
	Yeah.
	The whole thing.
	How is it any different from the U.S.
	supplying openly weapons?
	Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.
	Yeah, I mean, well, it's not in the U.N.
	regulations.
	Okay.
	All right.
	All right.
	That's okay, because we know that it's all gonna come down to the dirty bomb.
	The dirty bomb.
	It's gonna be a dirty bomb!
	Dirty bomb, ABC!
	Overseas, Ukraine now claims Russian forces are conducting secret work at the Zaporizhia nuclear plant, possibly preparing for an attack using radioactive waste.
	Russia has previously accused Ukraine of planning to use a dirty bomb, but that allegation was widely viewed as a pretext for Moscow to escalate the war.
	President Biden issued a warning to the Russians yesterday.
	Russia will be making an incredibly serious mistake if we're to use a tactical nuclear weapon.
	I'm not guaranteeing you that it's a false flag operation yet.
	Don't know.
	I mean, holy crap!
	For a hundred years, as long as I've been alive, even the term false flag was laughed, laughed out of existence.
	Oh, a false flag!
	But now the president is saying, look, I can't guarantee.
	I can't guarantee it won't be a false flag.
	I mean, please.
	I'm not guaranteeing you that it's a false flag operation yet.
	Don't know.
	Wait until it happens, then we'll call it one.
	But it would be a serious, serious mistake.
	Meanwhile, a group of 30 Democrats have now retracted a letter calling on Biden to negotiate directly with Russia to end the war.
	So that was ABC.
	CBS had Holly Williams out on location with much more information about the dirty bomb.
	Today, Russia's general in charge of nuclear defense claimed that Ukraine's in the final stages of building a so-called dirty bomb and could use it against its own people.
	A dirty bomb has never been used before, is not a nuclear bomb, and would be far less harmful.
	But by using conventional explosives to spread radioactive material, it's an effective weapon of terror.
	The US has dismissed Russia's allegation as transparently false.
	The world would see through any Russian attempt to use this allegation as a pretext for escalation.
	Russia claims Ukraine's preparing something.
	It means one thing, said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, suggesting it's actually Russia that plans to use a dirty bomb.
	The U.S.
	has repeatedly accused Russia of so-called false flag operations, staging violent incidents and blaming them on Ukraine as a justification for its brutal invasion.
	Herman Halushchenko is Ukraine's energy minister and told us false flag attacks have become Russia's standard practice.
	It's an alternative reality.
	Yeah, they don't care.
	The truth is, it's President Putin who's threatened to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
	Do you think it's possible that Vladimir Putin will use a tactical nuclear weapon here in Ukraine?
	I think he'll do everything.
	I expected from them everything.
	The U.S.
	says there would be consequences for Russia whether it used a nuclear bomb or a dirty bomb.
	Nora.
	Scary.
	Holly Williams, thank you.
	Scary.
	Holly, thank you.
	It's so scary.
	Scary, Holly.
	Why don't they say, hey, this is part of the Russian playbook?
	Didn't hear that mentioned.
	I didn't hear playbook, you're right.
	Cause it's not!
	That's because it's not.
	It's not the playbook.
	I can't guarantee it'll be a false flag.
	We're gonna find out what it is, then we'll let you know.
	We went through the whole dirty bomb business during the Al-Qaeda period.
	Whether we're going to do a dirty bomb in Washington, D.C.
	and Al-Qaeda was the terrorists.
	We're going to do the dirty bomb during the Bush administration.
	Yeah.
	It's our playbook.
	That's exactly right.
	We're the only ones ever talking about it.
	And I don't know how effective a dirty bomb really is.
	It's dirty.
	You could just put a big bag of fentanyl in one of those packages that explodes with cameras and kill a whole city.
	I don't see why a dirty bomb has to be deployed.
	Crop duster.
	Crop duster.
	I think we need to talk about the biggest deplatforming of our age since the mainstream picked it up.
	I didn't expect them to report so widely on Kanye.
	Yay.
	But man, it's really insane.
	Have you been following what's going on with it?
	A little bit.
	Well, I have a couple reports.
	This is ABC.
	Now with more incendiary comments about Jewish people from rapper Kanye West.
	Appearing on a podcast Monday, he blamed a Jewish doctor for his bipolar diagnosis.
	And I should mention that Kanye, after doing the Tucker Carlson show, has been on almost every single show he can book himself on.
	It's really, it's like...
	It's like he's going all out kamikaze on this one.
	He's really been trying to get on every single show.
	Before apologizing to the host, and it's just the latest in a string of anti-Semitic comments that have prompted several companies, including a Hollywood talent agency and the fashion house Balenciaga, to cut ties with him.
	A documentary about him has also been cancelled, but ABC's Matt Gutman says the Anti-Defamation League has questions for German apparel maker Adidas, which has a lucrative deal with Kanye.
	By the way, Adidas, if you look at their history, you know, like, literally made stuff for the Nazis.
	That's how far back the family goes that, that, uh... Oops.
	Yeah, oops.
	On October 6th, Adidas saying that its relationship with Kanye West was under review, but we've not heard from the company since then.
	In the meantime, it continues to sell the popular Yeezy brand of sneakers.
	Now, the ADL calling Adidas' silence deafening and dangerous.
	ABC's Matt Gutman there.
	A group of people hung an anti-Semitic banner over a Los Angeles freeway after Kanye's recent comments.
	It comes amid an alarming increase in anti-Semitic attacks nationwide.
	So, uh, Kanye just keeps digging deeper because- By the way, that- that banner looks like a hoax.
	Yeah, could be.
	Could be.
	He's been on many podcasts.
	I've watched most of them.
	I think I understand what he's trying to communicate.
	Of course, this is not going to work.
	That's not how it works in today's environment.
	And they'll do anything to shut him up now.
	In fact, they're going to make him no longer a billionaire.
	He's just done.
	You were a billionaire?
	Not anymore.
	Why?
	We say so.
	New financial fallout for rapper Kanye West.
	Forbes says West is no longer a billionaire after Adidas joined at least eight other companies, cutting ties with him over his anti-Semitic comments.
	His partnership with Adidas was reportedly worth $1.5 billion.
	Kanye's sports agency is also taking a hit.
	Celtic star Jalen Brown and LA Rams star Aaron Donald cut ties yesterday.
	Aaron Donald.
	So that's one of the Rams defensive linemen and then Jalen Brown is a basketball player for the Boston Celtics.
	So Adidas reported on the stopping the deal with Kanye.
	They said they were going to take a $250 million hit this year for cutting the deal.
	But they also said... So that means they have to pay him?
	No.
	They don't.
	Because they also said in this press release, we own all the Yeezy designs.
	We don't need Kanye.
	We own... They didn't say that part, but they say we own all... They can... I'm telling you, this is very sad because here's a guy who probably has known for a long time how bad all of his contracts are and instead of
	I think he had the power to renegotiate and do things differently, but instead he chose to say, hey, you know, we got to get everybody together and tell these companies and these people, or as he says, the Jews running these companies that they got to stop ripping us off.
	And here I have, so that's enough.
	Oh, so in other words, so he was lax with his Yes, I feel so.
	And he's... It's probably true.
	Certainly when this Adidas came out... Listen to this.
	And the Anti-Defamation League says anti-Semitic incidents are up 40% this year compared to this time last year.
	Meanwhile, the Holocaust Museum here in Los Angeles has invited West for a private tour.
	Nora, he turned down that offer.
	Jonathan, thank you, and we should know we condemn anti-Semitism.
	We stand with our Jewish colleagues and Jewish people everywhere.
	Okay, so I have two short clips that explains Kanye's arguments, which you will not hear because all you'll hear is anti-Semite, anti-Semite, anti-Semite.
	And this comes from the Lex Friedman Show, who is a Russian Jew, and he is in huge disagreement over Kanye generalizing Jews when they seem dominant in an industry.
	Um, so this, this was a pretty good exchange.
	This explains where Kanye is coming from, and I think this is a fair pushback from Lex Friedman, and it'll kind of give you some understanding beyond the headlines, which is that Kanye basically is, is, is the new Hitler.
	They put me as the only person that would say this, and I'm just saying that was four Jewish members that controlled my voice because for the fact that 90% of black people in entertainment, from sports to music to acting, are in some way tied into Jewish business people.
	Meaning that in some way, just like if Rahm is sitting next to Obama or Jared's sitting next to Trump, there's a Jewish person right there controlling the country.
	The Jewish people controlling that who gets the best video or not?
	Controlling what the media says about me?
	It's a person.
	It's not Jewish.
	Let me just say one thing.
	But they are, though.
	That's the only thing.
	It just so happens that they are.
	It just happens that they are.
	That doesn't mean that I hate them.
	That just means that they are.
	But it's a dog whistle, too.
	Let me just say, as I would love to add More love to the world.
	I would love you to do that as a person with a big voice, with a big powerful voice that a lot of people look up to.
	And when you say Jewish media, it's funny how this world works that way.
	When you say Jewish media, or Jews are controlling the voice Of black artists, black people, black artists.
	When you say that... Am I not allowed to say it out loud?
	You can say it.
	There's a large number of people that are hurting and have anger and even have hate in their heart when they hear Jewish media, that hate starts being directed towards the Jewish people.
	Do you acknowledge that?
	Do you understand?
	Can you feel the hate in the world that comes to the surface when you say stuff like that?
	And that's really the general way that this is being received.
	We got a call from our Austin high school teacher who's Jewish.
	And she said, and her mother is from, I think, Scotland, no, the UK, somewhere in the UK.
	She said, I just got my dual citizenship.
	I now can go to the UK whenever I want to, and I probably will if someone gets, you know, if the Republicans come to power because they want to kill all Jews.
	But that's real trauma, John.
	It's real.
	Yeah, it has to be.
	But why does the Republicans get blamed for this stuff?
	Trump, Trump.
	Kanye is the black face of white supremacy.
	So it's understandable.
	There's no way you can get out of this conversation.
	No one's ever going to agree with Kanye.
	But this other thing he said, which That's a short clip, but I got, uh... Someone put music underneath it to make it into a meme, so I didn't do that.
	It makes it a little bit more dramatic.
	But this is also true, what he's saying.
	My people are sick.
	If I load up Apple Music right now and I play the top songs in the rap chart, I would tell you my people are sick.
	If I go to the restaurants in Opportunity Zones and we look at The calorie rating and the cholesterol, I will tell you that my people are sick.
	If we look at the obesity rate, you will see that my people are sick, and my people meaning all people.
	If the media picks an overweight black woman and says this is body goals, then the media are influencing my people to stay sick.
	And it just so happens that that night, I was so frustrated after 20 years that I had to call it out in one tweet.
	Even if I say, hey, okay, I was frustrated for these reasons, now it's not good enough.
	You've literally tried to make me re-apologize 10 times in this meeting, re-say this, re-say that, but it doesn't change the fact that my people are sick and I'm the only person in my position that will say that my people are sick.
	Today, not 30 years ago, not 60 years.
	My people are sick today.
	50% of my people's deaths are abortion today.
	My people don't have the opportunities today.
	Yeah, I think that's part of what his message is.
	His message is, we're being controlled.
	Or, no.
	His message is, all these people that you look up to are being controlled.
	He feels that's Jews who are controlling them.
	And he's saying, we're sick.
	And of course, this is the problem.
	You need to get out of that and walk away.
	But that he can't seem to... Well, maybe this is it.
	Maybe this is his walk away.
	But it's very disappointing.
	It's not working well at all.
	You know, when I was listening to that first series of clips about, you know, Jared's sitting next to him and he's there, and this guy's there, and this guy's there, and he's talking about control, control, control, and then he blames everything on the Jews.
	The way it was structured, I'm thinking there's a conference room in the CIA building where they're doing high fives.
	Because the CIA's the one who's the controllers.
	Yes, you mean the Catholics in action?
	The Catholics in action!
	Not to generalize or anything, but I guess you can say that, Catholics in action.
	Yeah.
	And I'm just thinking, wow, that worked.
	Woohoo!
	Well, they didn't, back in the day when this, do you remember who, a very long time ago, there was a similar case with a Hollywood superstar who got de-platformed?
	Now, I could say Mel Gibson, because he definitely got de-platformed for doing exactly the same thing, but he was allowed to come back.
	It took him, what, 8, 9, 10 years?
	No, he was actually never really, you know, it was a funny kind of de-platforming, but he could still bring in the money and that's all that really mattered.
	I think the same thing will happen with Kanye if he shuts up.
	Do you remember Marlon Brando?
	Oh, this is a great story.
	Are you talking about the woman?
	No, Marlon Brando said the Jews control Hollywood.
	Oh, no, yeah.
	No, I'm talking about, oh, you know that woman who came out and accepted his Academy Award?
	Yeah, she was fake news.
	She was Pocahontas.
	So you don't know?
	No, I guess not.
	She died recently and her family outed her.
	She was a Mexican.
	She never was a Native American.
	They hated her.
	The whole family disliked her for pretending to be American Indian when she was a Mexican girl.
	And it's a big scandal in all the papers because all the family's jumping all over it.
	We at least had enough respect to let her die before we brought it out.
	Wow.
	So Brando brings on a phony to accept this award for him, and he's like a hypocrite, as you just mentioned.
	And meanwhile, this girl's like just a phony.
	So back in the day, in the United States, on mainstream television, when something like this came up, you know, we wouldn't be all like, oh, it's the Holocaust!
	We're all gonna die again!
	It's like, this makes people want to kill Jews!
	I gotta leave the country!
	No!
	Our comedians took care of our hearts and our souls.
	Here is Norm Macdonald.
	Last week on Larry King Live, Marlon Brando made the shocking statement that Hollywood is, quote, run by Jews.
	In response, outraged Jewish organizations made it snow in New York in April.
	Well, earlier this week, actor Marlon Brando met with Jewish leaders to apologize for comments he made on Larry King Live.
	Among them, that, quote, Hollywood is run by Jews.
	The Jewish leaders accepted the actor's apology and announced that Brando is now free to work again.
	That was Saturday Night Live.
	That was mainstream.
	That was all good stuff.
	It was funny and we laughed.
	You know, another guy who did a similar kind of a thing was Mel Brooks, who's very Jewish.
	Oh yeah, oh yeah, Mel Brooks.
	And his, I remember one of his lines, I think it was in The Producers, there wouldn't be any show business if it wasn't for Jews and gays.
	Yeah, that kind of stuff.
	I love it!
	Yeah, that stuff is now verboten, so you end up with these problematic situations.
	It hurts so much when you say these things.
	It pains me.
	But I know it pains you more, so... Alright!
	Let's do one more thing just to get us into the mood, because we've got a lot of people to thank.
	We've gotten some... Oh!
	Oh, yes.
	A little bit of nut job news here.
	So, Dylan Mulvaney, the fake girl, and I'm convinced now, since one of our producers sent this, said, oh, look at his, her, IMDB.
	Yes.
	There was an actor trying to do this shtick in 2015, didn't work out.
	The failed actor.
	And there's something very, I have to play this, I'm sorry.
	This Mulvaney character went, it was like a whole bunch of LGBTQIAPK-plus noodle boy people who were sitting in a semicircle, were asking the president questions, all scripted, because the president had scripted answers, you know, and she, she, she did a... Shameful, by the way, shameful.
	Quite shameful.
	She read her little script and everything, so that was boring.
	But now let's get back to her follow-up, her follow-up after, you know, the top thing of the meeting was the cookie that she received, the presidential cookie, and then she got to pet the president's dog.
	This is, uh, this is what your children are watching.
	So apparently I've caused a boycott of a very large retail chain simply for being trans, which I'm just not really in the mood to address.
	Maybe I will eventually.
	But I started making videos on here to spread joy, not to be like constantly defending myself.
	Can't we just have some fun on here, people?
	So instead, I'm just gonna tell you about all the good things happening in my life.
	First good thing, the president gave me a cookie and I asked you all if I should eat it or not and I've decided that I'm gonna eat it and I'm gonna save the package because not eating it is a scarcity complex.
	I like scarcity complex.
	I like that.
	Not eating it is a scarcity complex.
	Because not eating it is a scarcity complex.
	And I believe that this isn't going to be my last White House cookie.
	I'll bet.
	Oh my god.
	It's good.
	It tastes like democracy.
	Next up on good things.
	I flew back to LA from DC and I had a big audition today and it went so well!
	It really did and I want to act again because being me can be so exhausting and playing a character sounds kind of nice right now.
	Yeah, playing this character is exhausting.
	This is a huge giveaway.
	It's really... Man, that dude is very insulting towards women.
	What's really a problem to me is the fact that the White House...
	It was amenable to the character and it brought him in as though it was real.
	I don't believe there was any indication that this was just a fraud.
	Yeah, I think you're right.
	From the get-go.
	And the White House is stupid.
	That shows you we can't trust these people to do international negotiations if this is how easy they are to be bamboozled.
	Bamboozled, that's the word.
	And then, I dumped the clip already, but Goes on saying, oh everybody, I'm having my FFS surgery.
	My FFS surgery in December.
	I'm so excited, FFS.
	Do you know what FFS surgery is?
	No.
	Need to die.
	Facial feminization surgery.
	Oh yeah, that's a big deal.
	That's what they do.
	All right, now from the other- Make you look, instead of looking like some dude, hey, you know, you look a little more feminine.
	So no top surgery.
	FFS.
	Alright.
	Not questioning.
	Is he gonna have his dick cut off?
	That's the question.
	No, it's F- John, you sound so old and out of touch.
	I am.
	You know what?
	I'm old, but I'm not out of touch.
	Well, you've heard about the litter boxes in schools.
	Haven't we even had a report on here from time to time?
	I remember this vaguely.
	It's the dumbest thing ever.
	I'm trying to think, actually I should have looked this up.
	Let me see if there's a, was it a litter?
	So, oh yeah, this is, here's one of those reports.
	This is from January, so back to January.
	But our community needs to understand that the agenda that is being pushed through our schools.
	This is Michigan.
	Midland Michigan School Board.
	Just my opinion.
	But somewhat nefarious when it comes to some of the activities it was addressed by a child a couple months ago that they are put in an environment where there are kids that are that identify as a furry a cat or a dog whatever and so yesterday i heard that at least one of our schools in our town has a in one of the unisex bathrooms a litter box for the kids that identify as cats
	so this apparently is one big phony fake fraud fake news story it's not true No.
	This, apparently, is one of those stories that everybody tells and it starts off like this.
	My daughter's friend's cousin, this guy I know from work, his brother, who also has a friend at work, And the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the CBC, is calling this hoax for what it is.
	It has come to our attention that misinformation is currently circulating in our school communities and online regarding the presence of litter boxes in our schools.
	Please know that the Renfrew County District School Board and the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board do not have and have never had litter boxes in any of our elementary and secondary sites.
	That's a recent public statement from an Ontario school board, and it's going to require some explanation.
	They are responding to allegations that they've been putting out litter boxes for students who identify as cats.
	The idea that school boards have been doing this has spread all over North America.
	It's a thinly veiled criticism of accommodations for LGBTQ students.
	And to be clear, there is absolutely no evidence to back it up.
	But that hasn't stopped some U.S. Republicans from turning it into a talking point.
	Maybe schools are not fully disclosing that they are allowing children who identify as snakes, cats, whatever...
	They're providing litter boxes for the cats.
	Notice that the music, this is very, the music they're playing under this bid is like you're in the twilight zone, but it's not really true.
	It's a lie.
	It's Republicans in America doing this.
	Only Republicans?
	Yes, only Republicans!
	The children who identify as snakes, cats, whatever, they're providing litter boxes for the cats.
	That's State Senator Janice Bowling of Tennessee repeating the claim in the state legislature.
	And she's not the only politician doing this.
	Tyler Kincaid is a national reporter for NBC News.
	He and his colleagues did a deep dive on where this myth came from and what kind of impact it's having.
	Tyler, good morning.
	Welcome to Day 6.
	So how did you become interested in this rumor about schools providing cat litter for kids who identify as animals?
	Yeah, well, I've been covering a lot of these sort of culture wars affecting American schools over the past couple of years.
	And in January of 2022, we had noticed an incident that started to go viral online out of Michigan.
	It was something that we pretty quickly dismissed.
	We decided we weren't going to cover it at the time.
	We did!
	And thought that people would see this is blatantly untrue.
	The school said it was untrue and we would move on.
	We could not have been more wrong.
	Many other politicians started picking up on this in Texas.
	Okay, hold on, stop.
	It's over.
	It just seemed to keep spreading.
	It went on for eight minutes, John, so that's where I stopped it.
	Let me just tell you, there's an interesting aspect of this that is not being discussed by these two boneheads.
	One, they didn't cover it for the reason he said.
	Oh, that's probably bullshit.
	No, it's two.
	They covered it.
	They didn't cover it because, oh my God, this is reflecting poorly on the Democrats and some of our identity politics.
	Let's cover it up.
	Let's don't cover it.
	Because if they really were serious about thinking it was nonsense, they would have covered it and said it was nonsense and proven it was nonsense.
	There's no evidence.
	We can't find any.
	No evidence that we can, that there's any cat litter boxes anywhere.
	This is a story.
	And they could have actually turned it around if they didn't believe it and turned it into an anti-Republican screed.
	But no, no, no.
	They covered it up because they were fearful that it was part of, it was true.
	That's why they didn't cover it.
	This guy's a liar.
	And that's why there's two of us.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say, in the morning, to you, the man who put the sea in companionship for 15 years, ladies and gentlemen, my friend, on the other end, Mr. John C. DeMora!
	In the morning, to you, who has had the courage and might succeed, boots to the ground, feet in the air, subs to the water, to the dames and the knights out there.
	In the morning!
	Hello, everybody.
	15 years and the pile of cans just keeps getting bigger.
	In the morning to our trolls who are in the troll room and have been doing... Actually, I had to ban someone today.
	That didn't work.
	He's back.
	He was saying horrible things.
	What?
	Like what?
	Whenever I hear rap music, I want to kill a black person.
	I thought that was bannable.
	I think so, too.
	I was saying horrible shit like that.
	But he's a racist.
	Yeah, well, a troll.
	Some trolls are racist.
	Some trolls are loving.
	A lot of them, actually.
	Some trolls.
	Some trolls.
	A lot of them.
	Damn, man. - Yeah.
	Some trolls are just lovey, you want to hug them, and others will bite your finger off.
	And there's a few, but there's more than a few.
	There's a lot of them that are helpful, useful.
	They catch errors on the fly, which is a big deal.
	They do.
	Which is a real big deal, because then you don't have to do mea culpa all the time.
	And yeah, they can look stuff up quick.
	And this is all part- Some of them can do decent research.
	This is all part of the troll room that Void Zero set up, I want to say, 13 years ago, maybe?
	We didn't have it in the beginning.
	It took a year or two before all that started to happen.
	At your insistence.
	What do you mean at my insistence?
	At your insistence, because I was not interested.
	Oh, you were not a fan.
	Yeah, you were not a fan.
	You've never looked at the troll room.
	No, you don't look at it.
	Nope.
	But I think it works.
	But I know its value.
	It helps you a lot with your jokes because you've never been able to ad-lib anything.
	So you go right to the troll room and they give you material.
	And that's exactly the love that I have felt for 15 years, you old fuck.
	They give you free material.
	I'm at a huge disadvantage on this show.
	Hey, let's count how many trolls we have here.
	He has writers.
	Joke out.
	Alright, you writers.
	Scurry around.
	Oh, man.
	There's no one here today.
	1783.
	I thought people would come and celebrate with us.
	I don't care.
	1783 is lousy.
	Yeah, they don't care.
	Like, ah, those guys, it's going to be yapping and playing horns.
	Well, you missed some good deconstruction, didn't you?
	Yeah, there was some good material.
	Now, if you want to join the Troll Room, you can go to trollroom.io, or you can get one of those beautiful non-legacy podcast apps, which you can use Podverse, you can use Fountain.
	I think Podverse is a curio caster.
	Podverse will give you an alert.
	When we go live, it pops up, you hit it.
	You get the Troll Room right there.
	You hear the live stream.
	It's incredibly beautiful.
	and And trolls have been such a big part of the show.
	And yes, I personally want to thank every single troll who has either helped me, yes, sometimes you get one-liners, but also they will sometimes just work me up.
	Just get me all pissed off.
	Yeah, this is true too.
	This is actually funnier.
	It's not a bad thing.
	You get all angry.
	I think it helps the show.
	I think there is a benefit to it.
	Yes, nudepodcastapps.com.
	A lot of people would say, newpodcastapps.com.
	They would say, is that newpodcastapps.com?
	Yes.
	Yes, I've registered that as well.
	Or you can join us over at noagendasocial.com, which you can follow John C. Dvorak at noagendasocial.com, Adam at noagendasocial.com, from any Mastodon server.
	Believe me, it is the future of social networking.
	It's not going to be centralized.
	Semi-centralized is what we like.
	And thank you to Aaroner for running that for the past few years after I set it up and got into big trouble, because it's a lot of work.
	There's a lot of data and he has never asked for any compensation.
	He's someone who can concentrate.
	Refuses to take any donations.
	He does it for the show.
	He's a good man.
	It's like Void Zero, you know, it's the same thing.
	There are a lot of people.
	Bemros.
	There's so many people.
	I wish I could thank everybody, but I know that we would forget so many important people.
	But we will thank Tantaniel, who gave us the artwork for episode 1497, that was titled Bug Peeps.
	Kind of an uninspired title, personally.
	I think we both felt that way, but... We couldn't come up with anything better.
	We really couldn't.
	Now, this art was, you know, now we're kind of in our sentimental mode.
	It's like, well, you know, it's almost 15 years, it's a cute cheesecake, like, let's choose that one.
	That's kind of how it went.
	Let's see, what else did we have?
	We had, well, the No Agenda stamp, which you used for the newsletter.
	That wasn't available.
	Oh, it wasn't there?
	Oh, interesting.
	No, that came after.
	The one I liked a lot was Fluff Comet's pillbox, the No Agenda pillbox, with all the different colors.
	Oh yes, you'd like that.
	Yes, yes.
	You didn't like it.
	You really liked that one.
	I really disliked that one.
	And, uh... Yeah, why?
	Probably because I need one of those pillboxes.
	Okay.
	Enough said.
	I got it.
	That could be it, but it's just... I didn't recognize what it was until you told me.
	Well, I think maybe it's because I have one in my life and I recognize that.
	Hello?
	I loved Pet Rex's here, Eat the Cookie.
	Yeah, you did like that one.
	We're not going to use that.
	We're not going to use that nut job.
	There was a lot of Russia playbooks, which didn't really play out.
	You liked the one with the game flag in the background.
	No, I did not.
	I liked the ones with the mimes.
	No, the one below it said playbook.
	Let me see.
	Playbook.
	Which one is that?
	Look at the mime and go down one.
	Well, there's two mimes, I guess.
	Oh, no, the one mime where he's holding the... Oh, I see, I see, I see.
	Yeah, yeah, the cookie.
	Down below it.
	Yeah, I like the playbook, which is kind of cyrillic.
	I didn't like that.
	You didn't like it.
	The funny one was by Igor, planting mines and there's a guy holding against it.
	But it was not, you know, it was a little lame.
	It was funny, though.
	Like some bored mime.
	It's what every artist wants to hear.
	You're funny, but lame.
	Sorry.
	The piano pecker, Capitalist Agenda.
	Well tried.
	Thought it was too complicated.
	We're not using that.
	It's too complicated.
	And those were the main ones, I think.
	The other things, like a cookie, congrats on your transness.
	No, we're not going to use that.
	You knew that.
	The other thing about Tante Neil's piece, it was very dimensional.
	The teaser, the 15 years, yeah, it had like three, four different layers.
	It was very good.
	Yeah, it was nice.
	She's a pro.
	They're all pros.
	And everyone's going for the big 15 logo for this show, which I'm pretty sure we're going to choose one.
	But you never know!
	You never know what kind of mood we're in after the donations.
	I already used the stamp on the newsletter.
	The stamp was quite nice.
	I actually used it for the bat signal as well.
	It's good.
	It's very good.
	Thank you very much, Tantanil.
	We really appreciate that.
	And of course, all of the artists that put this work in.
	Also available on any Podcasting 2.0 app.
	You got to check it there.
	And go to noagendaartgenerator.com.
	Sir Paul Couture, who picked up the demise of the early art generator and turned it into something that has been through multiple technology teams, multiple platforms.
	Everything from headless Multiple languages.
	It's been offline, gone down, all kinds of stuff, and it's been running so beautifully for at least the past 10 years, and we really appreciate his production work.
	All of this value for value, which is what makes it all so beautiful.
	The value for value system can be monetized, monetary.
	It is monetizing.
	But we, you know, it's like if you're going to run servers for us or get other things done, do a whole art generator, that's worth a lot!
	That's incredibly valuable.
	Hitting people in the mouth is valuable.
	All of these things are valuable, and I, again, before we start on this long list, want to thank all of Knowage and the Nation for supporting the show, but also supporting DH Unplugged, supporting Podcasting 2.0, supporting Crazy Ideas we've had, supporting our exit strategy, even though you don't want us to exit.
	It's all appreciated.
	I love my job.
	I really... Are you making a kissing up sound?
	No, this is an egg with a bunch of sand in it or something, made out of wood.
	One that's, it was Susan or whoever's sending me these voice makers.
	What are you doing?
	I'm shaking it.
	It's supposed to sound like a, you know, cast, what do you call those things?
	Castanets?
	Castanets.
	Castanets, yeah.
	An egg castanet, as opposed to this.
	Baggy trousers.
	Woohoo!
	Baggy trousers.
	Yeah, you got me.
	You got me.
	You got me going.
	You got me going.
	Alright, we kick it off with Sir Nacho Alcatraz from Ciudad de Mexico.
	And you know, we've got a bunch of letters from him back and forth and back and forth.
	They're all, and I don't know that he's, it's like we've got some note lost in the shuffle and I don't know what, where it is now, but he sent this in to get our attention.
	And so I went here and he got an Insta Baron if he wants it here.
	Oh, he's already a Sir, so he could be Earl or something, but he, uh, I want him to send a concise note and we'll read it if he wants, does the same more than what he says here.
	Well, he sends us $1,500.
	Thank you.
	That's, of course, for 15 years.
	Hello, amigos.
	My previous donation was lost in the depths of PayPal's underworld.
	So here's another to compensate and celebrate as we deserve.
	Let the games begin!
	Congratulations, Sir Nacho Alcatraz.
	Thank you, sir.
	Yeah.
	Love it.
	That's short and sweet, but not as short and sweet as our friend in San Jose, who Oh, Ronald Lafferty?
	Yeah, Ronald Lafferty in San Jose gave us a thousand, which is an instant night.
	And he says, uh, he's already a sir, so it can be something else.
	ITM John and Adam, it's my turn to donate and support the podcast.
	Yay.
	Sir Ronald Lafferty.
	Done.
	Perfect.
	Thank you so much.
	Outstanding.
	Then we have Sir Dilsaver, Josh, 775.67 from Springfield, Missouri, Executive Producership, and of course you can, now do they get to say 15th Anniversary, Executive Producer?
	Is there a title they desire?
	Yeah, this is the 15th Anniversary Special.
	The Special, right.
	Star Studded Special.
	We should probably add that in, just cool.
	Gala.
	Might as well.
	The No Agenda 15th Anniversary Special, Gala Special.
	Executive producer.
	Sir Dilsaver says, thanks for your generosity.
	This donation, being two times matched, makes my wife Amanda and son Bradley a dame and a knight of the Noah-Jenner roundtable.
	Amanda would like her title to be Dame Dilsaver and Bradley's title is Sir Dilsaver II.
	It's right.
	We had a special inflation.
	Special for those of you thinking the inflation would be transitory.
	So very happy.
	And of course, despite We're not selling like half a ring, a night ring, half a stick of candle wax.
	No, you get the full-on deal.
	So really appreciate everyone stepping up for that.
	Yeah, we did this on the 10th anniversary.
	We did it again this time.
	Mark comes up for 750 bucks and he's in Kirkenweld.
	Holland, Netherlands.
	Happy 15th anniversary.
	Here is at least another 15 years of much-needed media deconstruction.
	The baby camera we requested on show 1467 worked like a charm.
	We're so happy to have a baby girl on her way due to arrive in April.
	Name her April.
	With that in mind, we'll take any savings we can get and double credit is too good to pass up.
	And by the way, for everyone who wants to know, it's for the next two shows, too.
	Especially since Sir Yuri meows a lot, has been restless of late, resulting in some broken sleep for us.
	This could be due to a pregnancy, but probably he just wants to make his way up the no-agenda peerage ladder.
	So please upgrade our furry companion to Baron Yuri the Red, accounting below, and grant him the protectorate of Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, a province east of Moscow.
	Oh, interesting.
	Jingles!
	Double millennial air horn before John permanently bans it.
	And some birthing karma for the wife, please.
	P.S.
	In Russia, Vlad is short for Vladislav, not Vladimir.
	That would be Vova or Volodya.
	From Russia with Love, Mark.
	Well, yeah.
	In America, Vlad is short for Putin, okay?
	That's just how it works.
	One time for the one time!
	You've got karma.
	That's actually interesting.
	It's interesting that the Vlad thing, because everyone says Vlad, and they're using the wrong... Yeah, but they also say Keeve, so... You know, you tell me what's right.
	Neil Ganzhorn is from Brighton, Missouri.
	Michigan, I'm sorry.
	$500.15.
	Thanks for $0.15.
	No jingles, no karma.
	Sir Neil G for the Roundtable requesting farm-raised salmon and dry salad if John has any left over from Adam's wedding.
	Yeah, sure.
	It's in my tux pocket.
	Sorry, I skipped one.
	Let me go back because I skipped Sir Ryan Blackknight of Forgotonia.
	That's Quincy, Illinois.
	50505.
	Happy 15th anniversary.
	Here's to another 15.
	With this double credit donation, I have attained the Viscount level.
	Accounting attached, if it isn't already spoken for.
	I would like to claim Missouri as a protectorate and reaffirm my current protectorates of Forgottonia and the Black Hills.
	You got it.
	No jingles.
	No karma.
	Stay sane.
	Thank you, sir.
	Thanks for cutting the karma and the jingles.
	Forgottonia.
	That's cool.
	Forgottonia.
	I like it too.
	Jim McCaslin, Parts Unknown.
	Happy anniversary.
	May God continue to bless you for many years.
	Jim McCaslin.
	Sir William Lee.
	Now here come a lot of people who took advantage of our inflation special.
	$500.
	Happy anniversary, gents.
	I found you guys sometime in 2021 and look forward to each and every show.
	And I know a good deal when I see one.
	I will continue to be an evangelist for the show.
	Sir William Lee.
	Doctor to Aurelius and Keeper of the O.R.
	Thank you.
	The O.R.
	being Oregon?
	I guess.
	Or the operating room.
	Joseph Bertolini, $500.
	Best note so far?
	Keep up the great work.
	Jay-Z Zalog, Z-A-L-O-G, $500.
	Better note?
	He has no note.
	Double up karma for you.
	You've got karma.
	Catherine Rivera comes in at 500 with What's Up?
	Been enjoying the show since 2020.
	My daughter loves the I Got Ants song, and I love the rest.
	I'm a small business owner in Kensington, Philadelphia, and you all keep me sane, she writes.
	You keep me sane, please de-douche me.
	Thank you so much.
	Katie from Philly.
	You've been de-douched.
	And we'll give your daughter a little taste, just a bit, because we're in a hurry today.
	I got ants.
	Sorry.
	My mistake.
	You thought.
	You've got karma.
	But she needs to be douching again. .
	You've been de-douched.
	Sorry, I love that.
	Douglas MacKinnon.
	$500, parts unknown.
	In the morning, I only learned of the show after your most recent appearance on Brogan.
	Well, that was well over a year ago.
	My jittiness over the opportunity to receive double... You haven't been on for a year now?
	I think it's about a year.
	Close to a year.
	Well, I've been on four times.
	Aren't many people who've been on four times?
	No, very few.
	And you're still in the backup, so... I am.
	Well, we still talk.
	We still talk.
	My jitterness over the opportunity to receive double credit suppressed my normal douchebaggery.
	Thank you.
	As an instantite, please de-douche me.
	You've been de-douched.
	Other than that, no jingles, no karma.
	Welcome to the Good Guys Club.
	I'll keep this short so your friend on the other end doesn't get cranky, as he so often does.
	Henceforth, I would like to be known as Sir Ike of Lettland.
	For the round table, mutton and meat will suffice, but I would like to request that this week's hookers be cheesecakey blondes from Ukraine.
	We need to support Ukraine after all.
	Thank you for your courage.
	Keep up the great work.
	Okay.
	Good point.
	Yes, you make a dynamite chief.
	Larry Mason, 500 bucks.
	I noticed a lot of cities missing here, but we're just going to have to deal with it.
	The scraper we use, the scraper needs to be fixed.
	Yeah.
	Night me dude named Evil Larry.
	Evil Larry.
	The master of the Virginia Medabots.
	So he's in Virginia.
	I keep the gears running for my combat brothers to get the drugs they need from the government.
	Semper Fi, he's a marine.
	Evil Larry at No Agenda Social.
	That's E-V-I-L.
	It's just Evil Larry.
	A F Cancer and Ants jingle.
	Tequila at RD table.
	At the round table.
	Tequila.
	Jeez.
	Code.
	The guy writes in code.
	But he's in Virginia, so that makes sense.
	Yeah, he's like military spy stuff.
	You know, they only talk in, like, code.
	Code.
	I got ants.
	I got ants.
	You've got karma.
	Ah, sorry.
	So add some tequila to the round table.
	Yeah, the spreadsheet came so late.
	I haven't done all of that work yet.

	You're in like Flynn.
	Done.
	Chris.
	Chris Matzlaf.
	Matzlaf.
	Uh... ITM Slaves is my second donation and I have never been de-douched so I would use one of those.
	You've been de-douched.
	Thank you for the amygdala shrinking broadcast twice a week.
	Keep up the awesome work.
	I just want to let you know how appreciative I am for this podcast and the amazing people that listen.
	FWIW.
	I work in cybersecurity and cringe at times when you all cover some of those things, but the reality is attribution is bullcrap.
	I can make anything look like it's coming from anywhere.
	So when those companies try to say, we know this attack came from X, Y, or Z, they are full of shit.
	Please keep up the great work.
	And check yourself on No Agenda Social.
	Keep up the great work.
	Please play the 3x3 jingle more often.
	I'm also working on a 420 karma jingle for the community.
	Later!
	And now it's time for 3x3!
	Experiment by JCD!
	Comparing stories from ABC, CBS and NBC!
	The never-ending 3x3!
	Good to hear some of those old jingles.
	We've got Sir Keg, Baron of South Wake County, 500.
	I was too lazy to virtue signal and cancel my PayPal.
	Happy birthday, no jingles, no karma.
	Sir Keg, Baron of Southern Wake County.
	Thank you, bro.
	I will be taking grief for that virtue signaling comment.
	Yeah, pretty much, pretty much.
	Pray for about a year.

	In the morning, thanks for being the only vaccine needed against the M5M.
	I've been around since Curry-Rogan won.
	I'd like to be Sir Davy Jones' locker for the table.
	Yak for all with John's Perrier purple drink.
	Have you had more of that brew?
	It's called Mystere Potion.
	Yeah, I'll bet it is.
	You've been de-douched.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've been de-douched. Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs. Let's vote for jobs.
	You've got karma.
	We've got Chris Reiney, $500.
	A lot of 500's.
	Wait, did we get an email from Chris?
	I think we got an email.
	Did we get an email?
	No, I don't have a note from Chris, but Chris, if you have a note, send it to us and we'll put it on the next show.
	No, we don't.
	Robert Smith is up next at 500 and John and Adam keep making the best podcast in the universe.

	Leila de Groote, 500, or Leila de Groote.
	I was going to give myself a dame hood for Christmas.
	However, I was going to have to try to dig up and find all my past donations.
	Frowny face.
	Easily over $500.
	Not fun.
	Since this is V4V, I could not live with myself as a douchebag, but thanks to you, now I can honestly go on the podium and I don't have to do any accounting.
	That's why we're here.
	In reality, my living in chaos is due to the karma you gave me ten years ago for homeschooling my children.
	Karma works.
	Did she want chaos karma?
	I can't recall.
	Oh, she didn't.
	She wanted homeschooling karma.
	I lost my organized house, but I found my children.
	Double-edged sword, I guess.
	Speaking of swords, pull yours out, because I'm getting damned.
	I'm getting damed, baby.
	And the best part is I can even hold my head up high so your knighting blade won't accidentally cut it off.
	Hey, who do you take us for?
	We're professionals here.
	We used to cut off arms and legs.
	We have had some issues.
	Mishaps.
	Please dame me Dame Lulu of the Space Force Beach and let my family know their loving mother says, Suck it, losers!
	I'm a dame!
	She asked for the round table.
	West Vleteren 12 trappist en mosselen.
	So that is a trappist beer.
	Yep.
	And mussels.
	And we have that at the round table for you.
	Excellent.
	Thank you so much.
	Did she have any... Yeah, putting on the Ritz.
	Okay, hold on a second.
	Just let me get her request in here.
	You know, if we don't get that on time.
	No karma.
	No Karma or Goat Karma?
	No Karma.
	No Karma.
	Hold on, hold on.
	Here we go.
	I got the shorty for ya.
	Come let's mix where John Podesta walks with kids, oh I mean pizzas, in his mitts.
	Putin on the ritz!
	Dynamite.
	Damn hammer.
	Secret Agent Paul.
	Dame Hammer of the Crow Kingdom.
	This is a Switcheroo donation to make my favorite person in the whole world my husband, Dean Desimone, a.k.a.
	Dino Monkey Boy with curly hair and instantite.
	He's been hitting me in the mouth almost from the beginning of our relationship.
	Love you, baby.
	If only I could be as good at helping others see through the bullshit.
	Thank you, John and Adam, for the twice-weekly dose of sanity.
	For the time being, please knight him Sir Dino, monkey boy with curly hair.
	Dean has a bit of a Tourette's when it comes to Reverend L. Sharpton, so would you please play him a Reverend L. medley?
	Sincerely, Dame Hammer of the Crow Kingdom.
	Cool to start to tick when you hear, ow, that's a nice trigger.
	About that, be committed.
	So there's no real conflict!

	I haven't played that one in a long while.
	That's the longest of the long ones.
	James Niddle, 500.
	No note from James, which gives him a double up karma.
	You've got karma.
	I have our friend down in Bangkok, Thailand, Catherine Sutton.
	And she says, please name me Dame Catherine Cryptography.
	Crypto Granny.
	Crypto Granny of Bangkok.
	That's it, you guys are the best.
	She's the best.
	I like Crypto Granny.
	Crypto Granny.
	Hey kids, it's Crypto Granny Show!
	Sir Wesley Olson is in Seattle and comes in with $500 and says, ITM, happy anniversary.
	With this donation, I'd like to become Baron Wes of the Balderdash.
	Thank you both for helping us through the last couple of years by keeping us informed and entertained.
	It has meant a lot to me.
	Stay with us.
	There's a lot more nonentities we've got to navigate through.
	Thank you, Sir Wesley.
	Joshua Farr, 500.
	And he says, no jingles, no karma, which is cool.
	Please knight me, sir.
	And he's got this weird spelling, which he says is pronounced executioner.
	Ooh.
	Executioner.
	Just played it one little bit.
	That's right.
	N-J-N-K.
	And we see Justin Wynn from Kiama Downs.
	Kiama Downs.
	It's New South Wales, Australia.
	$500.
	And this is Australian dollary dues.
	So we got a super deal on the knighthood this time, but we have always accepted the dollary dues and dollarettes.
	Thanks for shrinking my amygdala.
	Please knight me, sir.
	Small batch bartender.
	No jingles.
	Just some relationship karma, please.
	You got it, Justin.
	You've got karma.

	Please knight me, Sir Rory, of the Duck River.
	Karma only, please.

	John Vincent is in Burlington, Connecticut, 450.
	And he wants to hear Donald Trump, Don't Just China, Ants and Little Gourier.
	I'm sure we can accommodate that.
	In the morning, gentlemen.
	So far, three ants.
	Three ants.
	What are the chances?
	Thanks for your excellent deconstruction of the news.
	No fancy note here, just a long one.
	And a heartfelt thanks for the work you do.
	It's so thorough, it must be quite a task.
	Well, it's not a task.
	It's not a job.
	It's a lifestyle.
	It's truly a lifestyle.
	October 23rd was my 40th birthday.
	And I never had a fight.
	I keep... Oh, anniversary.
	I'm sorry.
	Anniversary.
	And we never had... I'm sorry.
	You never had a fight.
	40th anniversary.
	Holy crap-a-moly.
	God bless you.
	I keep hitting her in the mouth and she's responding slowly but steadily.
	Bro.
	Bro.
	How long... How many years have you been trying?
	Hmm.
	At first she thought I was listening to some nutty podcast.
	But no more!
	If you have American-made de-douchings available, I am overdue.
	You've been de-douched.
	We are definitely seeing the bottom of the barrel.
	John, if you know anything about Roma wines advertised heavily in old-time radio shows, I would love to know if it was any good and what became of them.
	Well, Roma wines, I think, was bought up by Galler, one of the big boys, Consolidate, Constellation, or who knows.
	But Roma wines was a jug wine that was popular.
	Jug wines were popular in the 30s, right after Prohibition into the, probably in the early, they probably went out of favor in the 70s.
	You said a jug?
	A jug wine?
	A jug.
	A jug wine, yeah.
	Is that like Chablis?
	Chablis from the jug?
	Chablis was sold as a jug of wine, yeah.
	It wasn't Chablis by any means.
	No.
	This is a French wine.
	No, my grandfather would have these, like, gallon jugs of Chablis.
	Yeah, that would be like Roma.
	Roma would probably have a Chablis.
	And he'd get that little ring that it has, and he'd put the jug on his shoulder to pour the glass.
	Yeah, I've seen that.
	They used to sell jug wines at a number of wineries around here until they all got, all of a sudden, it was beneath them.
	And some of these jug wines could be quite good, especially Zinfandel jug wines, which were sold by Viano and some others, and they were actually quite tasty because they weren't trying to make them more than they are, and they would just make a nice clean wine and bottle it pretty quickly.
	You know, put it in some stainless steel and then bottle it real fast so it's very fruity and fresh.
	And then it became beneath everybody so nobody makes jug wines except jug wine makers which make usually not very good product.
	Adam, I am somebody that is bothered by crappy sound.
	I appreciate your attention to the details.
	Other podcasts should be this high quality.
	This is quite, by the way, this is a very interesting part of this note.
	Okay.
	Why?
	Because he's talking about People who actually are affected by sound being lousy.
	Oh yeah, of course.
	Of course.
	Many people say that they have trouble listening to other podcasts because they are accustomed to our crispness or something like that.
	Well, it's my pleasure, man.
	Thank you.
	I appreciate that.
	As an audio guy, I appreciate it.
	He would like, uh, Gawumpke and Moxie at the round table, and Tucker the- Gawumpkes.
	Tucker the coonhound will assist cleaning any leftovers.
	Please knight me.
	Was knight of the baying coonhound.
	You got it!
	Huh.
	Uh.
	My mom used to make gawumpkes.
	I was gonna- What is gawumpke?
	What is gawumpke?
	Gawumpke is stuck- stuffed- stuffed cabbage leaves.
	Ew.
	It's a Polish dish.
	You make some, cook some beef with some rice and some seasonings and you steam some cabbage leaves and you wrap the, push the wumpk in there, make a little package and then you can heat it up in the oven.
	Sounds delicious.
	They actually are good.
	J.D.
	Moore in Jefferson City, Missouri, 400 bucks.
	No jingles, no karma, just happy to be at the round table.
	Title, Sir J.D.
	of JC Accounting below.
	That's not his full title.
	No, that's not.
	That's what it looks like, right?
	Tell me that's not what I'm reading.
	Sir J.D.
	of J.C.
	Accounting Below.
	I think that should be his night name.
	That's a great night name.
	I love that one.
	And that's all he's got.
	Thanks, J.D.
	Keegan Sullivan is in Peoria, Illinois, 370.86.
	He says, first off, thanks for your dedication to your craft.
	Your media deconstruction is S-tier.
	S-tier.
	S-tier.
	Like, S as in supreme tier?
	Keep up the outstanding work.
	I've been seeing 33s everywhere recently, so I knew a donation was inevitable, but when I saw the promotion in the newsletter, I knew the time had come.
	The included amount, $3.70.86, should be enough, given the doubling effects this week, to bring me up to knighthood.
	Accounting below, I would like to be known as Sir Finrock, and at the round table, I would like subs and subs.
	As in submissives and submarine sandwiches.
	You dirty boy, you.
	No jingles, just to be sure to save me a piece of that general purpose karma at the end of the segment.
	Thank you for your courage and 73's future, Sir Finn Rock.
	You got it.
	David Flynn, 34567, El Paso, Texas.
	Uh, happy birthday, uh, happy show birthday, and thank you for 15 years of sanity.
	Your show is truly the air freshener among the stench of mainstream media.
	You know, that's what we say.
	The donation finally brings me to knighthood.
	Please whip out your swords and grant me the title of Sir Carnivore is my personal pronoun.
	No jingles, no karma, no joke, no kidding.
	I realized I missed John Vincent's jingle sequence.
	Donald Trump don't trust China!
	China is asshole!
	Yay!
	He wanted the China is asshole, he wanted the little girl yay, and also ants.
	I got ants.
	You got karma.
	Back to where I was.
	I think Sir Fodfather in Indianapolis, 34567.
	Gents, Sir FOD, F-O-D, father here.
	I'm not quite what he's getting at, but it's half.
	I know what's fear, uncertainty, and doubt.
	That would be FUD.
	FUD, F-O-D.
	I'm happy to take this double credit opportunity for a switcheroo to raise my wife, Doreen Tatnail, to become a dame there in Indianapolis, Indiana.
	She is more than worthy.
	She shall henceforth be known as Dame Doreen Adele of the Snickerdoodles.
	You bet she will.
	Scott Hopper is in Brownsburg, Indiana, 333.34, and he says, John Adam, with a double credit coupon, this donation will bring me to knighthood.
	Thanks for hosting the greatest podcast in the universe.
	Please knight me Sir Hopcam, panner of the first turn.
	Very creative names today, thank you.
	Like it, like it, like it!
	Mark Hardwick in Aledo, Texas, 333.34, also the same.
	In the morning, gents, thanks for keeping it real.
	Mark Hardwick.
	And now we have Jonathan Greenlee from Arvada, Colorado.
	Our favorite executive producer donation, 333.33.
	Do I get any special music or are minstrels hard to find these days?
	I have no idea what you're referring to.
	Anyways, he says, Baron Harkonnen, most productive Spice Lord of the planet Dune, hopes all had a happy Diwali and are now back to work on the spice harvesting rigs.
	Our heredity titled Goat Sheriffs, a benefit of Baron status which not all may know, Jeffay, Mabel, Tim Tim and Jerry are hard overseeing the local efforts and avoiding worms.
	We remain ever vigilant for any dukes named Leto that might try to buy out our leasehold.
	Double dose of stereo goat karma, please.
	We are telling the goats that they have full fidelity on the stream.
	Truthfully, since Joe Biden increased wiring costs, we split stereo feeds and have one line going to each goat.
	But this will sound goat, G-O-A-T, to them.
	You've got Wow, what a note.
	It's not often that I don't understand a single thing the note means.
	I think that was a guy, Colorado, probably has something to do with that airport.
	Sam Onan in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, 333.33, and he has a nice note, it says, thanks.
	Very good.
	Anonymous, Providence Village, Texas, 333.33.
	From Anonymous, thanks for the great show.
	I super appreciate the short notes and lack of jingles and karma.
	This is really getting us through this in a fun way.
	You guys are the best.
	This is producers who get it.
	Michael Janczak in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, 333.33, and he's in the same league.
	A&J, this donation takes me to knight status with the double credit promo.
	Definitely the best podcast in the universe.
	He's not on the list.
	No, why not?
	To be a knight.
	And I think we should put him on there as just Sir Michael Janczak.
	Yeah, I'm sure.
	And, you know, I'm sure there will be some boo-boos that crop up.
	Oh, there's got to be, because we've got knights coming out of our butts.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Okay, I'm going to put him in.
	Michael, and he'll be Sir Michael.
	And he can change that later.
	We can falsify the documents.
	Back date.
	The way they do in Silicon Valley.
	With options, I know.
	That's the way you do it.
	Where are mine, is the question.
	Carlos Areses.
	is in Miami, FLA.
	In the morning, gentlemen, please find my donation of threes.
	I appreciate the media deconstruction and your humor, but I have a question.
	Is it allowed to promote an organization on the show?
	Because I will be raising funds and awareness for them on November 14th through 17th, and I would love to introduce them to the listeners.
	Well, you should have done it.
	Happy anniversary.
	Could you lend me a penny?
	What can I say?
	I mean, we're like that, right?
	I mean, we're pretty cool that way.
	A penny from my knighthood.
	Can we serve Pan con bistec?
	Pan con bistec.
	Is that bread with steak and bread?
	Is that what that is?
	That's what it sounds like.
	Pan con bistec at the round table and knight me Sir Ching for a name.
	Resist we much, mofos.
	Love is lit.
	Adios, mofos.
	No jingles, no karma.
	Love, you mean it.
	Thank you, sir.
	Sir Brad in LaGrange, LaGrange, Kentucky.
	Probably LaGrange.
	Probably.
	333.33.
	I'd like to, I'd like to wish Dame Karen a happy birthday.
	Can you give her a biscuit and make this executive producership in her name?
	A switcheroo, we can do that.
	Ooh, switcheroo.
	Also, happy anniversary, no agenda.
	Thank you for your courage.
	Please give Karen birthday karma as well.
	They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
	You got it, and here's a little bit of that karma coming your way on Switcheroo Young.
	You've got karma.
	Switcheroo completes.
	Beautiful.
	Mark Davies is in New Zealand, Mamaku.
	333.33, please accept my donation of 33... 333.33 New Zealand dollar-y dues.
	Yes, we do accept them.
	With the double up, this takes me to knighthood.
	Please knight me, Sir Mark, of the Mamaku Ranges.
	Blue Stilton and Glenn Livett at the round table.
	No jingles, no karma.
	May you never find an exit strategy.
	God bless you both from Mark in New Zealand.
	Thank you, Mark.
	It should be Stilton.
	What did I say?
	Stilton.
	It says Blue Stilton, is what I said.
	Yeah, Stilton.
	That's what I said.
	Blue Stilton and Glenn Livett.
	Mark Canoff in Portland, Oregon, 333.
	I couldn't pass up the double credit donation deal.
	It's been far too long since I last donated.
	I shook him out of the tree.
	So, please de-douche me.
	You've been de-douched.
	While you're at it, call out one of my co-workers, Wes, in Tyler, Texas, as a douchebag.
	Stay safe, Mark Kenhoff in Portland, Oregon.
	Then we go to Jet Stichter.
	Maybe it's Jet Stigter, but it sounds like a Dutch name to me.
	Grand Junction, Colorado, 324.66, requesting an all-American de-douching for Phil.
	You've been de-douched.
	Okay, so Jet has split this up.
	$123.45 for Phil.
	I'll refresh for $67.89.
	The four times $33.33 for an unceremonial job firing in Europe from an oil and gas job.
	Good luck, Europe!
	And a few other issues.
	Request health and house selling karma.
	Yeah, I got it all the way out.
	You got it, man.
	We'll do that for you.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	I think he said job, didn't he?
	Yes, job karma.
	Yeah, got it.
	Nailed it.
	Corey, Corey, Corey Harrison in Kinston, North Carolina, 29292, first associate executive producer on this long list.
	ITM, my second EP credit.
	I'm a little confused here.
	with this 2X knighthood birthday...
	Oh yeah, you would get bumped up.
	Okay.
	10-26-77 roundtable request long weekend IPA and maybe some hookers and blow.
	What do you think?
	My brother is still a douchebag.
	Hold on a second.
	I'm a little confused here.
	Because he's not...
	Is he getting knighted?
	Uh...
	And with the 2X...
	There's the douchebag.
	We need to do that.
	Well, his total credit would be about $600, so it makes him an executive producer, like all these people down on this list, part of the list.
	With two ex-knighthood birthday lists.
	Well, I don't think he's on the list, is he?
	I don't think so.
	Okay, am I misunderstanding what he's saying, then?
	Well, he's not giving us a name.
	Well, he's got a round table.
	Yeah, he should be on the list because he wants a round table request long.
	He wants some IPA and some hookers and blow.
	Well, we already have hookers and blow that's coming.
	And then he says he loves Justin.
	Thank you guys for your courage and the best podcast in the universe.
	Right.
	But is he on the, I don't think he's on the list, is he?
	Benighted Sir Corey Harrison.
	I don't think he is because it wouldn't be, he would have some indication with the colors.
	We got the birthday, we got the douchebag, we don't have the... And what's his knight name, just Sir Corey?
	Corey Harrison.
	Okay.
	All right.
	My brother's still... Okay.
	Sir Edge, Knight of the Sasquatch Lands, Linden, Washington, 282, Associate Executive Producership.
	In the morning gents, congrats on 15 year, this should get me to knighthood.
	I'd love some yak karma.
	Thanks to my buddy Landon for hitting me in the mouth during the COVID times.
	I'd like to be known as Sir Edge, Knight of the Sasquatch, Sasquatch lands.
	Now, is this another person who does not have a listing here?
	Three Sir Edge.
	You've got karma.
	Isn't he already Sir Edge?
	He's already a Sir Edge, so he should be upgraded.
	I'm trying to find... We'll put this one in abeyance.
	It's too complicated.
	I'll say.
	If you're Sir Edge, you don't get knighted as Sir Edge, unless you've never been knighted, but then you wouldn't be Sir Edge.
	Okay.
	That's the way I see it.
	We'll work on it.
	We'll fix it, man.
	Whatever.
	Daniel Kaufman... Yeah, these will get fixed over the next week or so.
	Daniel Kaufman comes in from Menasha, Wisconsin.
	I'm sure it's pronounced Menasha.
	26333.
	Dan Kaufman aka Danksteady on No Agenda Social.
	Congrats.
	Thank you for your courage.
	Thank you.
	We have Andrew Smith, 250 from Indian Land, South Carolina.
	No note.
	Jim Tucker, 250 from National Park, New Jersey.
	Also no note.
	So here's a double up karma for you both.
	You've got karma.
	Now we go to Edward Tatnell, the Sir Fod... Wait a minute, Sir Fodfather's back?
	Baron of the Circle City in Indianapolis with another donation of $222.22 versus a row of ducks?
	He doesn't know how to stop.
	He's out of control.
	That's good.
	Chance, a row of ducks to help celebrate 15 years of awesome media deconstruction as well as double credit elevating my status to Baron.
	He's not on the upgrade list, I can assure you.
	Oh my goodness.
	Thanks again for keeping us sane and informed.
	Edward Tattnall, Sir Fodfather, Baron of the Circle City.
	Okay, I'm going to go up and see what else you said.
	Why don't you read the next one and I'll add him in here.
	I'll take care of this.
	I was going to go look for him on the first note to see what he said.
	Sir Andrew Alexander, Sir Alexander Schulzberger in Berlin, Deutschland.
	Yeah!
	All right.
	Uh, congratulations to Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	You're quinceanero.
	You're quinceanera from Sir Alexander Sulzberger in Berlin.
	Not sure what that, what that Spanish word means.
	I like it though.
	Consulieri maybe?
	No, consulera.
	No, I don't think so.
	Sounds like we're a couple of fruits.
	Sounds like a quince.
	You're quince, you're quince eater.
	Anonymous in Bonham, Texas with a full row of ducks.
	Thanks for all your efforts to bring us the best podcast in the universe.
	No jingles, but please give an F-cancer karma to my buddy Larry Berg and request positive waves from all of Gitmo Nation for his recovery.
	And that is from Anonymous in Bonham, Texas.
	You've got karma.
	Here we go with, uh, from Louisville, Kentucky, two and another row of decks from Sir Foam Finger Number One, which is a typical foam finger.
	Uh, two two two dot two two.
	Happy anniversary, comrades.
	Jingles.
	One, Adam Curry is a nut job.
	Two, yak karma.
	What is this?
	I never heard this jingle.
	Yes, you have.
	A row of ducks donation is in honor of my birthday and the roasted duck that I will feast on shortly.
	Please add me to your list if you're on it.
	John, please suggest a value, I'm not saying cheap, a really available wine that I can pair with my duck.
	Hasta la vista.
	You know what would be interesting with duck?
	Is a German Riesling.
	Not a red wine.
	Red wine goes great with duck, but a German Riesling in this day and age would be dynamite with duck.
	Sounds good.
	Here's your jingles.
	Adam Curry's a nut job.
	You've got it.
	Remember?
	Remember now?
	Oh yeah.
	Dane Best, Baron.
	Mr. Mask it up.
	Who's all pissed off because Elon Musk now has changed his Twitter to Chief Twit.
	Did you see that?
	Oh, no, I don't know this.
	More gossip.
	No, Leo's like, hey, man.
	That's not cool, man.
	You're stealing my brand.
	Well, yeah, it's actually a fact, but he's not defended his brand that well.
	No.
	Continue.
	Sorry.
	Yes.

	Thank you very much.
	That's where she sent us.
	We appreciate it.
	All right, so here we go.
	This is Anonymous from Denver, and it is quite the note sent in with a check.
	A picture of Norman Falls on the cover, which is kind of cute.
	And then I want to, I don't know, but people should maybe, I'm thinking, not use light red ink on red paper and expect us to be able to read it.
	Scanned or not.
	Didn't work so well.
	I'm gonna try to get through some of it.
	Really, you could read any of that?
	I couldn't read a single thing on that scan.
	I am sorry, very grateful for what you two do on No Agenda.
	It's been a year since I moved from a blue area to a rural area in a red state.
	I did it, didn't, didn't, I did it and didn't.
	I did not realize how stressful it was being surrounded by so many sheep.
	Life is good now.
	Building community with others.
	Rational thinkers, other rational thinkers, and of course, those of the Christian faith.
	Your show helped me along the way to keep up, and so keep up the good work.
	I keep both of you and your families in my prayers.
	Oh, thank you.
	You can use that.
	That's very sweet.
	No jingles.
	Sincerely anonymous.
	Anonymous in Denver.
	That came through.
	PS to everyone listening, go to a meetup!
	He says he was a stranger in these areas and he went to a meet-up and now he's good to go.

	With this $200 donation and getting the 2-for-1 credit, I can now claim the title of knight, and you may dub me Sir Bacon is King, Surveyor of the Legendary Black Bowls at the Round Table.
	I would enjoy, what else but bacon?
	And to wash it down, a wonderful bottle of 1997 Cinquanone blah blah blah.
	What, how do I pronounce that?
	Uh, yeah.
	I always have trouble with Sinan Khoa, I think.
	Sinan Khoa Impostor McCoy Syrah.
	Oh my goodness.
	It's a very famous wine.
	Well, okay, then we shall have it.
	Of course.

	Yeah, we'll get done shortly.
	The only ones... Richard Grabowski.
	The ones we'll stop for are the ones that have a title change coming.
	Right?
	Hello?
	Yes, exactly.
	We don't, we still go, we keep the old model for reading notes, except if there's something important in there.
	Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of notes otherwise.
	I mean, these guys are all associate executive producers.
	I think, I don't know what we... Most of them are.
	Most of them are.

	Is that the second producer we've had from the Alison Morrow Show?
	Well, what's this?
	I don't even know who the Alison Morrow is, and you never told me about this so I could listen.
	It's a while back.
	She's an ex-mainstreamer who's doing pretty well, I think.
	She's mainly on YouTube.
	Very nice.
	Oh, it's a YouTube show?
	And podcast, but more YouTube, yeah.

	Matthew Kuzanz in Bend, Oregon, 167.
	He wants you to read this note, and then you can read this note, or part of it, and then take it from there.
	I would like to hear this note in the malefluous tones of Adam Curry's voice.
	Yeah, thank you for that compliment.
	In the morning Chauncey and Adam, wow man, he's really slamming you.
	When I read this week's newsletter, I immediately knew I had to take advantage of the double donation credit and secure my knighthood.
	I'd like to call out Tarmac of Western West Virginia as a douchebag.
	I would henceforth like to be known as Sir Matty of Central Oregon.
	I would like roasted Brussels sprouts and some sort of grilled beast at the round table.

	And he says, you can add me to the tally of listeners who are Eagle Scout project management professionals and a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
	Well, hello.
	Keep reading.
	No.
	John was the best part of Twit.
	Don't listen without him.
	And I do believe that I must have seen Adam a time or two when my older sister taught me how to dance while watching music videos on MTV while babysitting me as a kid.
	Alright.
	Thank you for all you do.
	Of course.
	He's been with us for a long time, I can tell.

	Cody Gray, 150, from Arlington, Texas.
	Thanks for all you do in deconstructing the BS in the world today.
	I've been a producer since Adam's second appearance on JRE in 2020 during this scandemic.
	Man, John, you've got to step up your appearances, man.
	I'm pulling the cart here.
	I proceeded to hit my brother in the mouth shortly after we had been dedicated producers ever since and we discussed the show every time we talked.
	I've been on the 33-33 plan for the last two years and only need a little more to hit knighthood so I thought what better time than the 15th anniversary.
	My knight name can be my actual name and I'd like Cazadores tequila, tequila at the round table.

	John Bigelow says I respond to John's PayPal plea back on show 1494, was not able to find the email address for donation notes on any of the web pages I checked.
	Gee, it's there.
	As I waited for it to be mentioned, several of the 33333 donations came in without notes, and amusingly to me, you always seem surprised.
	Notes at noagendashow.net was finally mentioned in show 1497.
	So here's my note.
	Please de-douche me.
	You've been de-douched.
	We missed Tim Mitchell in 14... This is a make good for $14.97, $250 in the morning.
	Gentlemen, this donation is to commemorate 15 wonderful years of no agenda.
	We're fairly new to the family, having been hit in the mouth by my brother-in-law just after COVID hit.
	You gave us peace of mind during a nightmare that just doesn't seem to end.
	For that, no donation feels adequate enough.
	How about that?
	Just so happens on October 23rd, our oldest human resource's 15th birthday.
	What better way to celebrate with a de-douche day!
	You've been de-douched.
	We are so proud of our boy and the man he is quickly becoming.
	Listening to your show has become a staple of any family road trip and we hit that road a lot.
	Happy birthday, Parker, from Mom, Dad, and Elliot.
	Aww.
	So nice.
	And then Brian Henderson, his note says, in the morning, Jensen began listening to the No Agenda show after Adam's first appearance on Rogan.
	I quickly fell for your media deconstruction and your silly antics!
	This is called comedy stylings.
	You certainly, which all come from the troll room apparently, you certainly assisted in keeping my amygdala in check as I watched the world get bent by their technocratic overlords.
	The world is on fire!
	So all there is left to say is, Jesus Christ is Lord!
	Repent and be saved!
	Speaking of faith...
	He says, having faithfully donated $50 per month from December 2020 to around August 22, I finally achieve what any self-respecting slave could hope to achieve in life, knight status.
	I shall here, henceforth, I shall be known as Sir Hender Schnute.
	Henderschnut, Knight of the Pickles Gambit, and I humbly request Medium Rabbi and Cockburns Porto at the round table.
	Coburns.
	Coburns?
	It says Cockburns.
	Yeah, that's what I spell.
	It's British.
	Old British is pronounced Coburn.
	Well, stop showing me your co.
	I mean, it doesn't make any sense, Coburns.
	It's just... It's Coburns!
	I believe ya!
	It makes it... Why do they spell it with a C-K?
	Have you ever tried to get somebody to pronounce Worcestershire?
	Or Worcester, or Worcester, Massachusetts?
	It's Worcestershireshire.
	It is!
	It's Worcestershireshire.
	It's Worcestershireshireshireshire.
	Don't try to trick me, Dvorak!
	You're just distracting.
	All right.
	I think we can wrap it up and say thank you all so much for what you have done for No Agenda.
	Many of you have been here for 15 years, some even before No Agenda started.
	Again, thank you for all the support you've given us, all of the projects and crazy stuff we get ourselves into.
	One of these days we'll have a book that we can sell you.
	It's unlikely, but at least we can say we tried.

	We have Tim Mitchell saying happy birthday to his son Parker, 15, on the 23rd.
	Sir Brian Tobiason, Baron of Chief's Kingdom, his son Mateo, turned 6 today.
	And Sir Felix, it's his birthday on Saturday the 29th.

	We love Sir Felix as well.
	Happy birthday from Sir Brad to Dame Karen and Corey Harrison celebrates along with Sir Foam Finger number one.
	Happy birthday for everybody here at the best podcast in the universe!

	So, we need the heavy duty... Look at this, I got the special blade.

	Hey, this is Andy.
	Thank you for your courage.
	ICM, thank you.
	In the morning, Susan.
	This is Alex, WWWDP.
	And this is Sir Nathan Lee.
	I want to put on your radar shots from eugenics to pandemics.
	It's a really good documentary.
	Really encapsulates a lot of what's going on.
	But ultimately, we are the force for good and let us all evolve our consciousness and help one another as things get really crazy in the time to come.
	And of course, No Agenda Show is the way to do that in part.
	Thank you, Adam and John.
	Your show is indispensable.
	In the morning!
	Hi, in the morning to you, Sir Occult Fan.
	Today, the North Idaho Sanity Brigade will be kicking off their meet-up at 5 o'clock, Selkirk Abbey Taproom in Post Falls, Idaho.

	On Saturday, the New York City meet-up, 1 o'clock Eastern time, Penrose in New York City.
	That would be cool to go to.
	Have you kind of figured out that there's a really big community, this No Agenda thing that's been going on for 15 years?
	That's on Saturday.
	And our next show day, Sunday, Halloween, spot the spooky meetup.
	Noon Eastern time, Dudley Sport and Ale, Arlington, Virginia, home of all of the spooks.
	That's our No Agenda Meetups.
	Have you kind of figured out that there's a really big community, this No Agenda thing that's been going on for 15 years?
	Why don't you get out there and meet some of these people?
	Noagendameetups.com Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days - Peace.
	You wanna be where you won't be.
	Triggered or held to blame.
	You wanna be where everybody feels the same.
	It's like a party.
	It's like a party.
	You got some azzos?
	You got any azzos?
	Any azzos?
	By the way, I was a little apprehensive at first.
	May I say the sheer genius, which also was coincidental, of having this entire week with the 1500 and the 15 years, I think spreads out the well-wishers throughout the week, and I really appreciate that.
	Because, you know, so we'll just have three long shows.
	Like, the 10th anniversary, what was it like?
	Did we do seven hours, I think?
	Non-stop?
	We had one show that went seven and a half hours, yeah.
	It was a little long.
	It was a tad long.
	Yes, I have two ISOs.
	Hey, and stop.
	I just need to say it.
	Thanks, man.
	Well, thanks to you.
	You're the one that does all the work.
	You're the one that goes on the shows.
	They don't want me on the shows, by the way.
	I'd love to go on those shows.
	If I lived in Podcasting Center, Texas, I'd probably go on more of them.
	I can get you on a couple shows.
	Nah, don't worry about it.
	All right, then.
	I do all the work, there it is!
	Record that, send it to me!
	It's a fact.
	So here's my two, I have two ISOs, how many do you have?
	I, let me see, you got two, I gotta scroll to mine, one, two, three, four, five, six, I got six.
	Jeez!
	Hey, people love me more.
	All right, go six and I'll do my two.
	Oh, okay.
	All right.
	Here is... I could, you know, drop dead tomorrow.
	Hey, you gotta think that's just a really good iso.
	All right.
	It's a good iso, but not a good show iso.
	The electrical cars, they're pissing me off.
	I like this one, too.
	The electrical cars, they're pissing me off.
	You don't like that one?
	No?
	Well, not a show ending.
	Thanks for having us on.
	What is that?
	Thanks, everyone.
	I don't like that either.
	How about this?
	Well, I disagree.
	And this is good radio.
	So I'd like to drop dead personally, but that's just me.
	I like the good radio of that group.
	Okay.
	What do you have?
	I've got okay.
	Okay.
	Not bad.
	Not bad.
	Possibility.
	And then I got a new little ditty because we had these ditties before.
	This could be a keeper.
	This is my pleasure.
	Stay safe.
	All one word.
	My pleasure.
	Stay safe.
	Ooh, that's a winner.
	My pleasure, stay safe.
	Okay, I've got to write that down.
	My pleasure, stay safe.
	This is Fist Bump.
	What's the one that Fist Bump?
	The other one?
	Uhhh... Love Ya Fist Bump or something like that.
	Hold on, hold on, hold on.
	Let's find it.
	Amen Fist Bump.
	Yeah.
	Oh!
	This is the new one.
	I like it.
	MPSS.
	You know what I mean?
	No.
	My pleasure, stay safe.
	My pleasure, stay safe.
	Rename it and put it in the file.
	I like it.
	I like it.
	All right.
	Let's wrap this up with some... Let me see.
	What do I have?
	What do I have?
	Do you have a China report that might help a little bit?
	Oh yes, yes.
	You got China.
	This is Xi housing in China.
	NPR is pretty good.
	Xi.
	Yes, got him.
	Is President Xi Jinping- Question.
	Before we launch into that.
	You saw the march the former dude right out of the meeting, right?
	Yeah, of course.
	Everybody did.
	I mean, truly, Xi has cemented himself until they kill him, right?
	Well, we had the clips that said he's in for good.
	This is it.
	He's going to be in forever.
	Unless they, you're right, they'd have to assassinate him or have something like that happen.
	It's all right because he's going to ride that country down to 500 million.
	They're all going to die.
	We win.
	I think, you know, that's the one thing that did catch my eye or catch my ear, which was that comment, but I don't think that's going to be that bad.
	You might be right, the banker.
	Go on.
	As President Xi Jinping was reappointed over the weekend, there was mixed economic news coming out of China.
	Third quarter GDP numbers were finally released, and we had economic output growing at a healthy 3.9% from a year earlier.
	At the same time, the Chinese stock market... And in his speech announcing his reappointment, Xi Jinping spoke of new challenges and tests.
	And I'm guessing, top of mind...
	For him, it's the catastrophic loss of confidence in real estate developers.
	New sales of homes have plummeted and developers are going bankrupt.
	40% of homes bought over the last several years remain incomplete.
	And to fully understand this mess, you kind of have to go back to the start of the 1990s, when only about a quarter of the population lived in cities.
	And as the economy opened up from central planning, more people came from rural areas into cities to work in factories.
	And the housing shortage was massive.
	Millions of people were moving every year into cities, and each person had, on average, just over 76 square feet to themselves.
	It's like the size of a bed and not really much else.
	There's a lot of dormitories.
	It was cramped.
	And so China needed to build, but property developers faced a huge hurdle.
	Don Weiland is the China business and finance editor for The Economist newspaper.
	The idea of a Chinese company going overseas to get funding from capital markets, pretty much non-existent.
	And then, yeah, within China, especially for private companies, accessing bank finance or something like that, you know, it was very difficult.
	So in 1994, the Chinese government created a new policy so that private developers could raise the cash needed to build apartment compounds.
	It set up a system where developers could sell apartments and projects when only a quarter of the construction had been completed.
	That was a very interesting report.
	Who did that report?
	NPR?
	Yes, it was the Money Hour thing they did.
	I love that girl they've got there.
	You do?
	Oh, yeah.
	She's totally ready to just... I mean, you don't even hear what she's saying anymore.
	You're just so irritated by her... Yeah, she's a whiner with vocal fry.
	She's got everything going on.
	That's their brand, man.
	That's the NPR brand.
	Whiners with vocal fry.
	You want whiners with vocal fry?
	Listen to NPR.
	So there's a lot about January 6, etc.
	I got like a whole bunch of clips which we're not going to play, but some may drift over.
	But I did want to play two relatively short ones.
	The subpoena was apparently delivered to have President Trump testify in front of this January 6 committee.
	Meanwhile, former President Trump has reportedly said he may comply with the subpoena from the January Yeah.
	6 committee if he can answer questions on live TV.
	Congresswoman Liz Cheney says the committee will not allow Trump to turn his testimony into a circus.
	He's not going to turn this into a circus.
	This isn't going to be his first debate against Joe Biden and the circus and the food fight that that became.
	This is far too serious set of issues.
	And we've made clear exactly what his obligations are.
	If Trump complies with the subpoena, the testimony will like.
	You know, Liz Cheney is so self-assured and full of herself.
	It just see it just soaks through even on the on the microphone audio.
	I mean, she reeks of it.
	Well, we won't have to deal with her much longer, I guess.
	I mean, she'll be out, right?
	Yeah, she's out.
	For good reason.
	And then this week, also, we saw The Swoop coming back.
	There she is.
	She's circling.
	You see the shadow.
	Oh, no!
	I know we're all focused on the 2022 midterm elections, and they are incredibly important.
	But we also have to look ahead.
	Because you know what?
	Our opponents certainly are.
	Right-wing extremists already have a plan to literally steal the next presidential election.
	And they're not making a secret of it.
	The right-wing controlled Supreme Court may be poised to rule on giving state legislatures.
	Yes, you heard me that correctly.
	Yes, you heard me that!
	State legislatures the power to overturn presidential elections.
	Just think, if that happens, the 2024 presidential election could be decided not by the popular vote, or even by the anachronistic electoral college, but by state legislatures, many of them Republican-controlled.
	Let that sink in!
	Republican-controlled police.
	So this is part of the Indivisible.
	So she's got the Indivisibles, which is indivisible.org, which is an ActBlue operation, of course.
	Of course.
	Unless you have anything, I have one last funny little clip from Carrie Lake, the new superstar within the Republican Party.
	Well, I've got a Kamala clip.
	Oh, please!
	The new superstar within the Democrat Party.
	I mean, this is a... Yeah, this is in Washington.
	It's a Kamala Carey bake-off.
	There you go.
	We'll start with Kamala.
	The K's.
	The K's.
	The K-K's.
	The K's.
	Vice President Kamala Harris is visiting Seattle today where she's talking about expanding a program to fund cleaner school buses and to raise money.
	Scott Greenstone from Member Station KNKX was there.
	Vice President Harris stood in front of several yellow electric school buses.
	She talked about the nearly $1 billion the Biden administration has awarded schools to replace diesel school buses with cleaner ones.
	The clock is ticking loudly.
	We are witnessing around our country and around the world the effects of extreme climate.
	But the Vice President is also here to attend a fundraiser for Senator Patty Murray, who spoke before her.
	Murray is facing a competitive race with a Republican challenger named Tiffany Smiley.
	In a recent debate, Smiley declined to say whether she thought climate change was caused by human actions.
	Oh, that's just boring.
	That was a dud clip.
	That's a dud.
	I got the clip.
	This'll take us home.
	The new star in the Republican Party is Carrie Lake.
	Recently she was at a rodeo.
	She knows her audience.
	She's at a rodeo with her pixie hair.
	She's rocking the pixie cut.
	And she complained about her competitor in the race.
	Katie Hobbs thinks there are 47 different genders.
	I'll tell you what, I'm not a biology major, but there are two genders, guys.
	Two.
	And... Where are the animals from the rodeo being kept?
	Somebody point.
	Is it over here?
	Since we're here at a rodeo, Katie, I've got a challenge for you, Katie Hobbs.
	Why don't you go out and try to milk a bull and tell me how that goes?
	It's a classic.
	You gotta give her credit for it.
	It's a beauty.
	You're right.
	Dynamite.
	Very, very funny.
	I like that a lot.
	All right, that is it for our 15th anniversary special.
	Thank you for being executive or associate executive producers, or any kind of producer.
	Thank you for bringing your time, talent, and treasure.
	It is incredibly appreciated.
	The birthday anniversary week continues with 1,500 coming up, so take advantage of the inflation special we have.
	End of show mixes, Jesse Coy Nelson, Sir Ned Wood, Matty J. We've got Sir Michael Anthony, And Tom Starkweather, could it get any more star-studded?
	Up next on NoAgendaStream.com, Unrelenting Club Gene with Sir Gene and Darren O'Neill.
	There you go.
	And coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No.
	6, in the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	I'm from Northern Silicon Valley, where I remain.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We return on Sunday with another episode of the best podcast in the universe, now in our 16th year.
	Until then, adios, mofos, thanks for producing, and such.
	Hooey, hooey.
	Hooey, hooey.
	We interrupt our program to bring you this important message.
	Okay, we have three guys, Joe.
	He wants to be shown gender.
	Happy 15th birthday.
	Three guys coming through.
	Give me the applause sign.
	It's hell when you turn 25, but you know.
	15, Joe, not 25.
	We have a tradition in the Biden family.
	We sing happy birthday.
	So let's go.
	Ready?
	Happy birthday to you.
	Happy birthday to you.
	Happy birthday.
	Happy birthday to you.
	Oh, zingray.
	Oh, how sweet the sound.
	Come on, man!
	What is he doing?
	Happy birthday to you!
	Happy birth- That saved a wretch like me!
	Give me a little break here!
	Happy birthday to you. - Move.
	Happy birthday, from the big guy, Barry O, and Senator G.O.
	Jigsaw.
	In the morning hypno nation We are all charged up to me Human resources in service, in all lands and all chances meet.
	From east to west, down under, to the lowlands and beyond.
	The end is just made to help innovation fall.
	Once you're using nuclear weapon, the mistakes that can be made, the miscalculations, who knows what would happen. the mistakes that can be made, the miscalculations, who knows The end is just made to help.
	There is no denying that since that moment, the shadow of the atom bomb has been across all our lives.
	All men of goodwill earnestly hope that a realistic control of atomic weapons can and will be achieved.
	Meanwhile, good sense requires that all of us prepare for any eventuality.
	But wisdom demands, too, that we take time to understand this force.
	Because here, in fact, is the answer to a dream as old as man himself.
	A giant of limitless power at man's command.
	Come on, man.
	What are we talking about?
	Come on, man.
	But all are within man's power, subject to his command.
	On man's wisdom, on his firmness in the use of that power, depends now the future of his children and his children's children.
	In the new world of the atomic age.
	Give me a little break, you.
	Boogity boogity boo, New York City.
	This is your mayor!
	It is almost Halloween, and y'all know what that means.
	No more private work demanding.
	You are welcome.
	New York has a brand, and that brand is Pfizer.
	That is why I am currently still forcing all New Yorkers Except, of course, for celebrities.
	But now we are going to pivot and shift.
	Pivot and shift.
	On November 1st, I'ma finally drop the mandate for all workers in the city.
	Except for city workers for two weeks.
	Y'all still second-class citizens.
	The police, firefighters, educators, including drag queens.
	Everybody working for me still got to get they shots and they boosters.
	And if private employers still say no job, no job, I'mma let him!
	My bosses and Big Pharma just admitted the Jabs was not even tested for stopping transmission.
	They are snitches!
	So we got to do this right quick before y'all stop paying attention.
	Also, the CDC just voted to officially recommend a Fauci ouchie for children.
	So y'all still can't sue these players.
	And now, me and my health team got the perfect excuse for a permanent mandate.
	And y'all baby, our choice.
	My haters be steadily making a lot of outside noise.
	The New York Supreme Court even just said I got to reinstate non-compliant city workers.
	Tonight, I think you'll hear a lot of divisive rhetoric and misinformation.
	Hi, goodnight everybody.
	But I'm also dealing with real human beings.
	Get stuff done.
	We are still up to our old tricks.
	So don't come knocking at Gracie Mansion for no traits.
	I'm going to give you a rotten big apple.
	Tonight, I think you'll hear a lot of divisive rhetoric and misinformation.
	Hi.
	Good night, everybody.
	But I'm also dealing with real human beings.
	I don't.
	I don't.
	I support fracking.
	And I stand.
	And I do support fracking.
	So what's gonna happen?
	Drumroll.
	I want women, doctors, local political leaders, letting the democracy that's always allowed our nation to thrive, to put the best ideas forward so states can decide for themselves.
	Let's work together.
	You never heard that before.
	To me, for transparency, it's about showing up.
	I'm here today to have a debate.
	So when she calls me extreme, the truth is that there's no more extreme position than Governor Whitmer's.
	And extreme policies.
	Extreme positions.
	John Fetterman takes everything to an extreme.
	And those extreme positions hurt us all.
	She's pushed a radical, progressive, social agenda.
	The big question is this.
	Are we going to go backwards?
	Or are we going to drive together to the future?
	I strongly support fracking, drilling.
	But there is no crime fighting plan if it doesn't include guns.
	Are you unhappy with where America's headed?
	You know, he has never met an oil company that he doesn't swipe right about.
	Your fundamental rights to be safe, positive, choose what you want done with your body.
	But none of what she just said is true.
	And here's why you can't trust anything she's saying.
