	Act now while stocks last!
	Takes two weeks!
	You got the holidays coming up!
	But wait, there's more!
	There is!
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak And Sunday, November 27, 2022 This is your award-winning GiveMarnation Media Assassination Episode 1507 This is no agenda Forcing behavioral changes 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 we're awaiting the mRNA flu vaccine
	I'm John C. Dvorak Did you catch what happened overnight before we get to the MRNA flu vaccine You mean on the sumo championship?
	Yes, do tell.
	How are we doing?
	Oh, it's over.
	It's obby one.
	While you were watching sumo, this was happening.
	Well, China is dealing with a record number of COVID cases this week, despite the country's zero tolerance lockdown policy, which is now stirring anger and rare protests.
	CBS's Elizabeth Palmer has that story tonight.
	Furious citizens hurled barricades and abuse at the police in the port city of Guangzhou, where some areas have been locked down for weeks.
	These restrictions have been disastrous for the economy, and people have simply had enough.
	There's even been serious unrest at Fox Wow.
	which assembles half the world's iPhones.
	Workers rioted this week over factory conditions after a COVID outbreak and news that they wouldn't be getting a pandemic bonus.
	There's a joke on social media that while President Xi Jinping was away meeting world leaders at the G20, local Chinese officials in charge of COVID measures like mass testing quietly eased some of the rules.
	Unfortunately, cases spiked.
	From 1,267 a month ago to almost 33,000 on Friday.
	Now President Xi is home again and millions of Chinese are back in lockdown.
	Gigantic isolation centers are going up to warehouse contacts of COVID cases.
	Some of the Chinese pushback against zero COVID may be coming from Chinese viewers watching crowds at the World Cup unmasked and unafraid.
	In fact, one of them used Photoshop to make the point that Chinese rules are ridiculous.
	And this man agrees.
	Outside his locked-down apartment complex, he's shouting, give me freedom or give me death.
	Yeah, a regular John Henry of China.
	This is really interesting what's going on because I'm conflicted about what might be happening.
	Well, before we talk about it, let's play my version of the same story, which is from France 24.
	Yes, we need all kinds of different inputs.
	Here we go.
	In China, two and a half years of drastic measures by the Chinese government to try and contain COVID-19 have left the residents afraid.
	Now, as the country records its highest ever daily infection rate since the pandemic began, some worry more restrictions are headed their way.
	Others have simply had enough.
	Chanting, lift the lockdown.
	These residents shout their defiance at the authorities enforcing their confinement.
	A rare display of protest in Xinjiang province.
	The zero-covid policy has seen their city, Urumqi, cut off from the rest of the world since the summer.
	And their anger and frustration is rising.
	In another neighborhood, protesters sing the national anthem.
	The protest movement began on social networks back in September.
	But fresh anger has been triggered by a fire which killed 10 people on Thursday.
	Residents have blamed a partial lockdown within the high-rise building for the deaths.
	Officials denied that Covid measures had hampered escape and rescue.
	Meanwhile, anger over the country's strict sanitary measures is boiling over elsewhere.
	The city of Zhengzhou is home to the world's largest iPhone factory.
	Thousands of employees protested against labor and salary conditions under strict lockdown, some clashing with security forces on Wednesday.
	Around a third of Chinese cities remain under some form of lockdown.
	Despite this, the country's case numbers this week hit all-time records since the pandemic began.
	So I'm seeing this start to unfold last night.
	In fact, Tina said, oh, Jack Persobick, he lived in China, and I think he speaks Mandarin fluently.
	He starts tweeting, oh, it's kicking off, things are happening.
	Ex-naval intelligence, just as a side note.
	So I'm looking at this, and CNN is all over it, oh, crazy, massive protests.
	Then we get BBC, China COVID, shocking protests, huge challenge for China's leaders.
	And I can't help but thinking immediately, hmm, you know, we're seeing these videos.
	I mean, we fell for the, long ago we fell for the videos of people falling flat on their face, dead of COVID.
	We didn't completely fall for it.
	We didn't, but you know what?
	Deborah Birx did.
	She even put that in her book!
	So, you know, I'm like, okay, these are all online videos and what I'm seeing on CNN and everywhere else is the online videos on television, so I'm skeptical of this.
	And I switch over to the China report.
	This is the guy who is South African and I'm not sure where he is when he's doing this particular show, but if you recall, he was the guy Reports on China, but then when everything kicked off in South Africa, he had a pretty good report.
	Remember that guy?
	Not really.
	When you hear his voice you might.
	So they did an emergency broadcast!
	Let's have a listen.
	Welcome everybody to a very special report.
	We are now talking about what's going on in China at the moment.
	In fact, since last night we've seen massive uprisings breaking out throughout China.
	Would you like to explain to people a little bit more what's going on?
	Absolutely.
	Now, I don't know who this guy is, but I guess our South African friend trusts him.
	But I don't know who this guy is.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Absolutely!
	Absolutely!
	Let me hit it for you!
	Explain to people a little bit more what's going on.
	Absolutely.
	So, what we can kind of see happening here is that there was a notice put out through universities.
	This is probably how it started.
	By the way, I like this right away.
	You know, so mainstream is saying this started because of people being locked in a building who died when it caught on fire and there were COVID lockdowns, you know, the doors welded shut, that's all we see.
	This guy says it probably started in the universities.
	Universities are always a great spot to start some crap.
	That's where you start revolutions.
	Kind of see happening here is that there was a notice put out through universities.
	This is probably how it started.
	And it went through talking about, oh, we should remove COVID restrictions.
	Let's remove zero COVID restrictions.
	This is insane.
	We shouldn't be locked down anymore.
	It was kind of all related to this.
	But things, you know, what Chairman Mao said, a single spark can set a prairie fire.
	This went wild.
	And this is actually how it caught my attention.
	Somebody sent me A picture of their WeChat moments.
	So WeChat's the app that everyone uses?
	Yeah.
	And everything was removed or blacked out?
	Yeah.
	And I'll show you why.
	Okay, we're going to show you a little clip here, everybody, for you to see.
	And it's very important to see what the people are saying here.
	We're seeing a G-step down.
	Okay, now...
	When it comes to protests, we've both seen protests in China.
	We've seen a lot of protests.
	I've seen usually surrounding people's houses being forcefully demolished or maybe a real estate scam, but mostly anti-Japanese protests, things like that, which are allowed by the government.
	But never ever do you see any kind of action against the government.
	Never.
	I've never once seen this.
	Not in all my years in China.
	This is absolutely the biggest thing that's happened since Tiananmen Square.
	Okay.
	So, we even have a Tiananmen Square dude now.
	Where we had, in Tiananmen Square, we had the brave protester who stood in front of the tank.
	And you can still see that image.
	Tank boy.
	Tank boy.
	Now we have... Bridgeman!
	This is from the BBC.
	Again.
	China's bridge man inspires Xi Jinping protest signs around the world.
	It's a rare one-man protest against Xi Jinping in Beijing has inspired solidarity protests around the world as China Party Congress sits this week.
	So now they're given, so they've already got a hero or a martyr or whatever, bridge man, who's hanging up signs on bridges.
	So this, I don't know, this thing stinks to me.
	And so I'm thinking, what am I gonna do?
	And I get a couple of notes here from one of our producers.
	I don't know if they're boots on the ground, I don't think so, but they have WeChat.
	They said, we're seeing videos, a video of someone talking about people getting paid 300 Rimini B to stand in the front of the lines.
	Another video with people chanting, we don't want a cultural revolution, we want a revolution, we want to be able to vote.
	And he says, actual Chinese people smell the manipulation in some of these videos.
	Some of that could just be local manipulation, but here's what bugged me.
	So I immediately send an email to Professor John Jones, who, you know, has done... I mean, this is our China guy!
	Little China guy.
	You know, he's been giving us the boots on the ground during the lockdown.
	And I say, what's the boots on the ground?
	How's it going?
	And he comes back almost immediately and says, I mean, it's okay.
	You know, people are going to work.
	And he responds to me just about lockdowns or restrictions.
	Nothing about any protests or videos or anything!
	And I say, dude, what's going on?
	This is all over the news.
	And I haven't heard back from him.
	Your message could have been blocked, but, you know, this is like any of these other riots, you know, selective camera placement.
	We saw this in Egypt, as you recall, when they had this one square which looked like the whole country was, you know, most of the country's just working their day-to-day life and the rest of it looked like it was on fire.
	But let's just say, let's just say we need, I'm just gonna say it, we need a little bit of a distraction from, I don't know, Hunter Biden's laptop may be annoying at this moment.
	I think there's a concerted effort going on, and I think it's driven by intelligence in China, and I think the same thing is going on in Iran, and I think they're keeping themselves busy.
	I think they're doing a pretty good job of it, to be honest about it, at least insofar as giving the American public what they want.
	This brings me to something which I'm now wondering about that little get-together that Trudeau had with Xi.
	And if it has anything to do with this story, which is a movie from Canada on Falun Gong, which is going up for the Academy Award, and there's some tidbits in here, which I think I think has something to do with what's going on.
	I think this is part of the concerted effort, even though it's hard to prove that because this movie took forever to do.
	But let's listen to these these two clips in the Falun Gong movie.
	An award-winning film is hitting big screens across the U.S.
	Through animated illustrations, it captures a daring confrontation that happened 20 years ago between a small group of citizens and the Chinese Communist Party's propaganda machine and the deadly consequences afterwards.
	The film is Canada's pick for the 2023 Oscar race.
	NTD sat down with the film's artist and main character Da Xiong to find out more.
	When the ruling regime is using all its media outlets to churn out propaganda against your faith, what do you do?
	This is the question that an award-winning film is bringing to life in theaters across the U.S.
	Called Eternal Spring, it captures a true event from 20 years ago in China.
	That's when a group of spiritual practitioners hacked into China's state-controlled television network to counter the communist regime's propaganda against their spiritual practice, Falun Gong.
	Falun Gong is a spiritual meditation based on the principles of truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance.
	In the 90s, about 1 in every 13 Chinese people practiced it.
	But millions of them were thrown into prison and tortured after the regime launched a nationwide persecution campaign.
	On top of that, the regime blanketed China with hate propaganda against the practice.
	From national to local TV, hate-filled attacks against Falun Gong were on-air 24 hours a day.
	The TV hijacking event took place under this context.
	And the film tells the story through the lens of Da Xiong, a Falun Gong practitioner who witnessed it.
	Huh.
	And we should probably point out that Falun Gong is either, you know, financing or whatever, it's the connection between NTD, what is the other, what's the... Epoch Times.
	Epoch Times.
	Yeah, so they have very strong Western media representation.
	Yeah, it's a powerful organization, which is why I think the Chinese government was so dead set against letting them get any sort of foothold in the country.
	And I think it may be exaggerated how many people were involved when they said the one out of 13, because there was a, we discussed this five, six, seven years ago.
	There was a fad in China to do these various, something gong, there was maybe 10 of these meditation operations that were kind of semi-religious.
	And this one just happened to be the most popular one and the most successful.
	But they took over a TV, State-run TV station.
	I love that.
	I mean, you don't have to do that these days because, you know, you've got the internet.
	But back in the day, that would have been... I don't remember that.
	It's around 2000?
	Yeah or I think just before I think during the 99 maybe dot-com era something like that.
	Fantastic.
	Yeah they all got arrested and thrown in the slammer forever.
	I mean don't get me wrong it would be really really cool if someone could get into the you know CNN's broadcast signal Yeah.
	I mean, it would be fun because that would... You'd have fun.
	Oh, yeah!
	Oh, yeah!
	There'd be dynamite.
	Just a little hack there.
	But anyway, so that's what they did.
	They got him in big trouble, so they did a movie about it.
	I think the parallels between, you know, the repression... I mean, there's a lot of messaging going on in here.
	Let's listen to part two of this.
	Afterwards, my instincts told me that danger might be around the corner, that police raids may come tomorrow, and that's what happened.
	Police raided the entire city, a population of over 9 million.
	A lot of practitioners were forced to flee their homes.
	Many practitioners were arrested.
	Their homes were searched.
	Police arrested over 4,000 practitioners.
	But tracing the event was not easy.
	Of the hijacking's core participants, six have died at the hands of Chinese police.
	Of those who are still alive... The main ones were in prison.
	We couldn't get any information from them.
	A breakthrough came in 2017 after a survivor made out of China following 10 years in prison.
	We were only able to sort out the stories after we found a key participant, Jin Xuezhe.
	The film was six years in the making, and the hand-drawn illustrations alone took over two years.
	But for him, that wasn't the hard part.
	You have to recall the memories, those unhappy memories, painful memories while in China.
	It's like a scar has already healed, but you have to cut it open again and feel what it's like to be painful.
	Is this the actual movie?
	No, they're still just doing an interview.
	There's some noises in the background of the movie.
	They throw it in the movie every once in a while and I cut all that out.
	Because most of the people that were involved in the TV hijacking event have died.
	Their families fell apart.
	What they went through is far more cruel than what I've been through.
	I have a sense of mission.
	It's like as if I'm finishing what they have not completed.
	And to tell the truth to the world, this is what kept me going.
	He noted tapping into state-controlled TV network proves no easy task, and the participants knew the risks and consequences.
	If the police arrests don't come today, they could come tomorrow.
	So why did they do it?
	Those practitioners want to clarify the truth about Falun Gong and let the Chinese people know that they have a right to choose to know the truth.
	This is very important.
	No one wants prison terms.
	We all have families.
	We all have comforts in life that are hard to let go of.
	But since they chose to do this, that means they know the significance of doing this was bigger than their own personal feelings.
	He added, it also comes down to having great love for the country.
	The movie also talked about the idea of what is love.
	It's to have the courage to carry on the traditional values of this nation.
	Right, so now I hear all of these parallels.
	About the media, the free media versus the state media.
	People are being paid to say, we want the choice to vote.
	And that comes back here.
	We want choice.
	And the voting, I guess, is to vote to be Falun Gong or whatever, or to have them a part of the government.
	I can see what you're saying.
	No, it's a giant... I'm not going to say it, but I hate to say it.
	It's a giant op.
	Yeah, I think you're right.
	Yeah, I think you're right.
	But it benefits a lot of other things going on right now.
	It just really does.
	Yeah, but it all has to boil down to somehow benefiting commerce.
	Well, I mean, all of this, I think there's a war on China.
	They got the CHIPS Act.
	So, I mean, it seems like that's part of it.
	It has to be part of it.
	Hmm.
	But I'm in agreement.
	It felt bad to me right away.
	I'm like, something's going on here.
	Yes, there was too many videos getting out of China.
	We're supposed to have this locked down.
	Even though WeChat has it all blocked out.
	So how is it even?
	Yeah, I know how does that work?
	Please don't email us telling us about VPNs.
	Yeah.
	Please, please don't.
	John has been to China.
	We had a friend, actually my daughter had a friend who was in, they were in China teaching English, her and her boyfriend.
	And they were getting shipped, they went to China just before COVID broke out and they came back just before it got out just in time.
	But they, You were asking me about VPNs in China, and so I actually did some research on this for them to see what I could come up with.
	And VPNs are actually legal in China.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah, they're legal, but you can't use them.
	Oh, it's legal to operate, but you just can't make use of them.
	It's the kind of legal, but you can't use them.
	I've seen these kinds of laws here and there, where, yeah, no, it's legal, it's legal, you can own a VPN, but you just can't use it.
	Or if you're caught using it, you can get in trouble.
	Love it, love it.
	So nobody really gets around it.
	The VPN system doesn't really work in China because they really spend a lot of time doing packet sniffing throughout the nation on all the internet, ins and outs, to make sure people aren't using these VPNs.
	How tiring.
	Sniffing packets all day.
	Let's listen to some China state media then.
	Not directly related to what's happening, but this is a new interview.
	This is CGTN.
	That's the Chinese state operation, that's their propaganda arm.
	It's the Chinese Global Technical Network, or TV network.
	Yeah.
	You know what they're doing wrong?
	Used to be CCTV, same operation, by the way.
	What I think they do wrong is they always have Chinese or Mandarin subtitles, and that just repels people.
	You know, if they'd like... France 24 and Deutsche Welle don't subtitle in their own language.
	So it feels more like, oh, this is for me, and when you see it with... I'm just giving you some free advice.
	If you see it with the Mandarin in the subtitles, it just feels, you know, like, eh, some Chinese stuff, it doesn't... not speaking to me.
	Just be my advice.
	Well, you're listening to the English broadcast, aren't you?
	Yeah, no, it's the English broadcast, but they have... Yeah, why would they do this at all?
	They have a Chinese broadcast of the same product within Chinese.
	This makes no sense.
	It's bad propaganda practice.
	I agree.
	I think so.
	I think it's bad propaganda practice.
	Here's Klaus Schwab in a little exclusive interview over there.
	Now the base has been formed, but we have to go one step further.
	We have to have a strategic mood.
	We have to construct the world.
	Imagine a 90-year-old Arnold Schwarzenegger when you listen to this guy.
	Screw your freedom!
	We have to have a strategic mood.
	We have to construct the world of tomorrow.
	It's a systemic transformation of the world.
	So we have to define how the world should look like.
	But how to bring everybody on board?
	of this transformation.
	But how to bring everybody on board?
	There is now the opinion globalization has failed and we are entering into an era of deglobalization.
	I think that's wrong.
	I respect China's achievements, which are tremendous over the last over 40 years since the opening up and policy and reform policy came into action.
	I think it's a role model for many countries, but I think also we should leave it to each country to make its own decision what system it wants to adopt.
	And I think we should be very careful in imposing systems.
	But the Chinese model is certainly a very attractive model for quite a number of countries.
	Screw your freedom!
	No, it's not quite the same, Tom.
	Well, you know, I saw this and I think everyone is misinterpreting it.
	Okay.
	Uh, my thinking is when he's talking about Chinese and its accomplishments and its model and all the rest, he's talking about industrialization.
	He's not talking about social control.
	Oh, no, I'm talking about, no, I'm not talking about social control.
	No, I'm talking about what people interpret.
	You mean Twitter is going around.
	You mean Twitter is what Twitter does.
	Yeah, Twitter.
	Twitter has all these crazy ideas.
	Twitter dudes.
	Dudes on Twitter.
	The doctor's on dudes on Twitter.
	Dudes on Twitter.
	D-O-T.
	Dude's on Twitter.
	Yeah, exactly.
	But, you know, that guy's a douche.
	Oh, he's a total douche.
	Total douche.
	We all agree on that.
	Yeah.
	And he's also obviously a utopian type guy, which is, these guys come and go over the decades, or the centuries, he's utopian oriented, you know, we can fix everything and it'd be a great utopia to live in, which this book is all about, The Great Reset, or whatever he called it.
	And it's just all utopianism that comes and goes and comes and goes, and these guys are always failures in the end, and he ends up You know, it's just, it's a pathetic pursuit, in my opinion.
	Yeah, but whatever, it's still a place where the movers and shakers who actually do things come together, and that's the money.
	So, whether he's just the... I mean, he always feels to me like a groupie.
	This is gonna sound really bad, what I'm gonna say.
	I shouldn't even say it.
	I know a guy just like this, but he's no clown.
	I'm not going to say it, but there's people who are organized things for groups, you know, for podcasting or things like this.
	And they're really just a hanger on and they just kind of, you know what I mean?
	Just kind of douchey.
	But everyone says, screw the guys setting up the meeting.
	You know?
	It's like, he's not the best drummer, but he does it.
	No, I know a bunch of these guys.
	He has a van, so he's in the band.
	But what they're really good at, because of their, this is again, and I think Schwab's a good example, what he's really good at is organization of meetings.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	We pointed this out, he's the cruise ship, you know, the cruise ship girl with the whistle around her neck.
	Julie, he's the director.
	Yeah, the cruise director, Julie.
	And so that's, and she's really good at that.
	But then to be, you know, kind of a groupie, which I think is an apt term, you know, jocksniffer type.
	It's like, it's a drawback.
	I haven't heard jocksniffer in quite a while.
	I'm bringing the old ones back.
	And the last time I heard it, it was out of your mouth as well.
	So jocksniffer.
	Jocksniffer.
	Oh man.
	All right, let's do some COVID because that is, there's a lot going on.
	Fauci retiring.
	We've got, you know, wait, let me just read this headline.
	Where is it here?
	In Rhode Island, I don't have the clip, unfortunately, but you will hear this somewhere in one of these clips.
	There's now a quaddemic.
	Yes, and what's interesting is they didn't say it was a triple-demic, now it's a quad-demic, but triple-demic has been the word, we've been pushing for tri-demic.
	The headline in Rhode Island news today is tri-demic, thank you, they're just obliterating our tri-demic and calling it a quad-demic.
	So what do you think the fourth horseman of the flu apocalypse is?
	We have COVID, RSV, flu, and you know what the fourth one is?
	Mumps.
	Behavioral issues.
	What?
	Yes.
	Everywhere now, if you're dying, it's because of behavioral issues.
	And I think they mean over-medication, drug use, illegal drug use, pointing the gun at your head.
	These are all very bad behavioral issues.
	And it's really making light of what's going on.
	It's weird.
	Now here's CBS this morning, Dr. Celine, and she tries to combat the first issue that's out there, which is it seems, according to the statistics, that people who have been vaccinated are dying more than people who are unvaccinated.
	This is a stat that will not stand.
	Oh, I see what's going on.
	So they're trying to come up with a way.
	It's your fault.
	It's your fault.
	Yeah.
	We turn now to the coronavirus and a new headline that is getting a lot of attention.
	A new analysis by the Kaiser Family Foundation shows 58- Kaiser Family Foundation is like the Norman Lear Foundation of Hollywood.
	It's getting there.
	This is what they do.
	What they do is they do studies.
	You know, blue jeans will give you cancer.
	Eggs are bad for you.
	A new analysis by the Kaiser Family Foundation shows 58% of COVID deaths in August were people who have, at one point, received a vaccine.
	To tell us what's going on here, we're joined by CBS News contributor, Dr. Selene Gounder, who is also editor-at-large for Public Health at Kaiser Health News.
	Doctor, good morning.
	Good to see you.
	Now, notice how he sets it up.
	People who have received at least one... I've got to play that again, that last bit here.
	Received a vaccine.
	Yeah.
	In August were people who have, at one point, received a vaccine.
	A vaccine.
	To tell us what's going on.
	A vaccine.
	So he's already kind of pre-shaming.
	Wow!
	Pre-shaming that you've only had a vaccine.
	Well, there's that, but there's also, instead of being specific, they just kind of generalize to lead into some other point.
	Let's bring in the good doctor.
	So let's go through this headline.
	Only 13% of Americans age 18 and older have gotten an updated booster.
	So will the boosters protect against the current variants of the COVID-19 infection that is going around now?
	And if someone gets— They can't even define it anymore.
	They don't have a name.
	They don't have, you know, the variant name.
	They're just like, but the infection.
	That booster, more importantly, will they be protected— Before we continue, I don't know.
	I don't think I put this in the newsletter, but there is a chart going around.
	It's official from one of the government agencies.
	And the people that are dying the most are the ones who've had all the shots and got boosted and boosted again.
	Yes!
	But they're trying to downplay this right here.
	That's what they're doing!
	Because it sounds amazing.
	Only 13%!
	Uh-huh.
	Maybe it's because you didn't get all your shots that you're dying.
	Infection that is going around now, and if someone gets that booster, more importantly, will they be protected in time for year-end gatherings?
	What we know is that getting an updated booster is better than not getting a booster.
	So it may not be perfect, it may not be perfectly matched against the currently circulating variants, but it is better than nothing.
	And if you are somebody who is 50 and over, if you're immunocompromised, if you're pregnant, it is especially important that you go out and you get a booster dose.
	Especially important that you go out and get your booster dose.
	Okay, we're not done here.
	But help me understand this headline because I've seen it trending on social media that people who have received a vaccine, but not necessarily a booster, are now succumbing to the virus.
	What does that mean?
	This is something we've been trying to message since the beginning of vaccine rollout.
	No, you liar!
	No, wait.
	Liar!
	It's unbelievable.
	And we're stupid lady.
	You know, I was putting together, it turned out to be a little over three hours, the best of end of show mixes.
	And we have another, uh, another best of, and hopefully you won't have to use both, but I just want to say the end of show producers, the mixers, they, it's, it's a living historical document.
	It's a, it's a collectible.
	It's so collectible, but... I haven't heard it yet, but I've heard the other ones you've done.
	And these... those are a combination.
	It's chronological order.
	It's chronological order, so you go through the whole timeline.
	Yeah, that's the way to do it.
	Starting in January, and like all this stuff starts cropping up that we've forgotten about now that was really important at the time.
	No, this will be... I'm actually looking forward to this.
	This is going to be a stunner.
	Yeah.
	And a lot of it is like Tom Starkweather, Rolando Gonzalez, you know, whenever they have clips of news clips interspersed, and sometimes, you know, us in there.
	Yeah, it puts the whole thing together.
	It's dynamite.
	It's really, really, really good.
	All right, now, enough tooting of our own horn.
	Back to this.
	We're great.
	This is something we've been trying to message since the beginning of vaccine rollout, that eventually, when enough of the population is vaccinated, this is to be expected, because so many people are.
	We've been trying to message this from the beginning.
	Why do you use the term message even, lady?
	Are you a doctor or are you a messenger?
	Okay, so here's the message.
	It looks like a police report message.
	It does.
	This is something we've been trying to message since the beginning of vaccine rollout that eventually... Hold on a sec, stop.
	Why doesn't she use the word... This is like, you know, these other calculus and some of these words we always jump all over.
	She should say, we've been trying to tell people.
	Exactly.
	That's how you talk normally.
	How about this?
	It's been very frustrating.
	We've been trying to tell people since the beginning of the vaccine rollout.
	I guess you could, man, we could give people so much good advice.
	We could save China.
	We could save the pharmaceutical industry.
	I mean, we're so good.
	This is something we've been trying to message since the beginning of vaccine rollout.
	That eventually, when enough of the population is vaccinated, this is to be expected.
	Because so many people are vaccinated, you're going to have some breakthroughs, some hospitalizations and deaths in that group.
	Now, why did this guy all of a sudden in the middle here go...
	What kind of Tourette's was that?
	Listen.
	Roll out, that eventually, when enough of the population is vaccinated, this is to be expected, because so many people are vaccinated.
	You're going to have some breakthroughs, some hospitalizations.
	What was that?
	Actually, I heard it the first time, but when you focus on it, it's quite funny.
	He goes, ha!
	What is he doing?
	Like, ha, bullcrap, is what it sounds like.
	Maybe that, yeah.
	This is to be expected, because so many people are vaccinated.
	You're gonna have some breakthroughs, some hospitalizations and deaths in that group.
	But I think the clear message to give people is currently today, if you have been vaccinated and you've gotten your updated booster, you are 15, one five, 15 times less likely to die than somebody who is not vaccinated.
	All right, another messaging tip from the Curry Dvorak Consulting Group.
	When you're trying to tell people that they are safe because of your defective product, The incorrect way is to say that you are less likely to die.
	You want to talk about living, not dying?
	That's insane.
	What kind of messaging service do you have, lady?
	And by the way, that's another lie.
	Of course it's a lie.
	Of course.
	Well, we have a little more from Dr. Selene.
	So a booster means you're up to date.
	So the vaccine... This lady, is this Gail?
	Is this Gail?
	I think it's Gail.
	I think Gail is listening to this and going, Oh crap.
	I don't have all my boosters.
	Listen to the panic.
	So a booster means you're up to date.
	So the vaccine, if you just, if you just have the initial vaccine, then it no longer is steady in keeping you steady.
	I'm telling you, this is Gail, I think.
	She's questioning her own choices now.
	Because of this, uh, dying.
	Steady?
	I don't know what she means by steady, but let's see.
	It's a medical term.
	It's a new medical term.
	It's, uh, yes.
	If you just have the initial vaccine, then it no longer is steady in keeping you protected.
	And especially again, if you're over 50, if you're immunocompromised, if you're pregnant, your immune system just doesn't respond as well to the vaccine.
	And so especially for those groups, because you're at higher risk for progression of severe disease, you really need to go out and get that booster as soon as possible.
	And it does take about two weeks for that booster to really kick in.
	So take that into account as well.
	Act now while stocks last!
	Takes two weeks!
	You got the holidays coming up!
	But wait, there's more!
	There is!
	And it's a reminder too that we could all use these reminders of basic things we've learned during the pandemic that folks just aren't really up to speed on.
	What about those, there's some folks watching right now who have COVID.
	They may want to see relatives.
	Let's say hi to the audience there at home.
	Everybody has COVID.
	Hey, people!
	Right now, I see you, I see you, I see you.
	You all got your COVID.
	Listen up, people.
	They may want to see relatives tomorrow or next week or at some point.
	What's the advice for recovery time?
	And is there really anything you can do to speed that up before you can see people?
	Well, there are medications, and I think this is something that people are forgetting.
	There are medications, an oral pill that you can be taking for COVID.
	Hold on.
	Stop.
	Let me guess.
	That Pfizer crap.
	There's medications, but there's only one medication, let's face it.
	I think Merck has something, too.
	It's even a little more egregious.
	I mean, this is clearly an ad, but listen to... Just listen.
	Well, there are medications, and I think this is something that people are forgetting.
	There are medications, an oral pill that you can be taking for COVID.
	It's been a little challenging, I think, for some people to access that.
	Part of that is doctors, unfortunately, don't understand it's not how sick you are now.
	That's not what determines whether you should get treated with Paxlovid in particular.
	But rather, are you at increased risk for progression of severe disease?
	So again, people over 50, people who are immunocompromised, people who have underlying medical conditions.
	Those are the people, if you have COVID, you should get started on treatment right away.
	And one avenue that's opened up... Listen to this!
	An avenue has opened up!
	And before I play the avenue, I'd just like to remind you that you could not go and get ivermectin Unless you had a prescription for, um, what was it?
	Malaria.
	For any reason COVID related, you could not get it at the pharmacy.
	They would not give it to you.
	They had it in the pharmacy.
	I'm going to finish the clip.
	So we'll finish the clip.
	17 seconds.
	17 seconds.
	Okay.
	Underlying medical conditions.
	Those are the people, if you have COVID, you should get started on treatment right away.
	And one avenue that's opened up that will make it much easier to get this is CVS now has their pharmacist prescribing PaxLibid.
	So you can go online to CVS, to their website, follow the instructions, and you can get PaxLibid that way.
	Good to know.
	Good to know.
	I'm just so surprised.
	Good to know.
	It was commercial.
	That seemed like more of a commercial for CVS and Pax Lovett.
	Probably a joint buy.
	This was something that was only being prescribed to people in hospitals.
	Or by doctors.
	And now it's just, just go online.
	Just go online.
	Get on your telemedicine health.
	And by the way, restock on your SSRIs.
	You know, grab a little bit of Xanax.
	It's all on the app.
	So, that's groovy.
	But they can't, but what they didn't do is they didn't really give a good explanation why the excess death count, because that's really what it is.
	No, they skirted it beautifully.
	But it's excess death.
	Well, it wasn't beautiful to me.
	I'm yelling at Scrooge, he's a liar.
	Liar!
	Liar, but big time, you know, he avoided the question completely.
	And then they can, they get freaked out.
	Somebody had said, but these guys are some believable, but what are you going to do?
	What you just did though, what we both just did.
	And there's, there's now, uh, this is, where's this come from?
	The Atlantic.
	Well, we just did about, uh, Pax Lovid makes us anti-Paxers.
	I'm not kidding!
	Yes!
	Yes!
	There's an anti-Paxer now?
	This is what's, uh, the Atlantic.
	Inside the mind of an anti- Oh, the Atlantic.
	This counts on foreign relations, uh, monthly.
	Inside the mind- Change the name of it.
	Inside the mind of an anti-Paxer.
	I mean, come on.
	So now, now if you even make a joke about Pax Lovid, which I think also has a pretty poor reputation, It sucks.
	It doesn't work.
	Right.
	It may even work.
	It may be a bad thing.
	Adverse.
	Meanwhile, they're not stopping anyway, because I'm sticking with the Malone thesis about this whole thing is a giant task to see.
	for the platform and see who can, and then they can kill off people with it.
	Just get them out of the way.
	And the Chinese took a different tack by locking everyone down and seeing how that's going to work out.
	So they know that the results of that are coming in.
	But now I was going to say that the test is kind of weird because it's killing off the wrong people.
	I mean, we lost Irene Cara at 63 suddenly boom boom.
	You know?
	No, you could make a huge laundry list of people.
	The guy who Trump wanted a particular lawyer, that guy died suddenly, 48.
	I mean, I'm sure people have died all the time, but now just whenever I hear someone died, I'm like, you know what the first thing that goes to your head?
	I can't help it.
	I think they need a giant quilt.
	Like the AIDS quilt?
	Yeah!
	Yeah!
	It would do it.
	Sudden death.
	Now, what have we learned throughout the past... Well, I wanted to get to this clip.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Which is that they're working on this platform, and now this is the first real test of the platform.
	Is the flu.
	Which is that, let's see if we can, because they've been talking about a universal flu vaccine.
	Forever.
	Forever, but the early talk of it, I know this has gone on, they had to have a meeting.
	The early talk of the early flu vaccine was, you take this vaccine, whatever, however they concocted it, And you'd get the shot and you'd never get the flu ever.
	And it would be a lifetime immunity.
	Which sounds like the stupidest product in the world.
	Because there's no money in it.
	Unless you have an annual software update.
	You gotta do it annually.
	Firmware.
	Firmware.
	Just like the current flu shot.
	Firmware.
	Firmware.
	No slipstreaming.
	Okay, so here we go.
	Here's the update on the mRNA flu shot.
	Scientists have engineered an experimental super vaccine.
	They say it can fight every known... Come on!
	Super vaccine!
	That's dynamite.
	Drain of the flu.
	It employs the same technology used in COVID-19 shots.
	NTD's Daniel Monaghan has the story.
	The vaccine hasn't been tested on people yet.
	Given in two shots, it uses the same mRNA technology.
	Breakthrough!
	They're ready to roll this thing out and it's never been tested.
	Well, you don't have to do that.
	We learned that with this latest booster.
	We don't have to.
	No, just go.
	Go for it.
	It's the platform.
	The platform's life.
	Even the FDA guy's like, I don't like this.
	And they approved it anyway.
	It employs the same technology used in COVID-19 shots.
	NTT's Daniel Monaghan has the story.
	The vaccine hasn't been tested on people yet.
	Given in two shots, it uses the same mRNA technology that was pioneered in... Wait, did he say given that?
	Yeah.
	Oh, so yeah, you're right.
	So because we knew it was a platform, it's just, you know, what platform we think is maybe more nefarious.
	If the platform's safe, then you can just drop anything on it instantly.
	You don't have to test anymore.
	The question is, is it Linux or is it Vista?
	COVID-19 shots.
	NTT's Daniel Monaghan has the story.
	The vaccine hasn't been tested on people yet.
	Given in two shots, it uses the same mRNA technology that was pioneered in the COVID-19 shots from Pfizer and Moderna.
	It delivers instructions for cells to create replicas of proteins that appear on influenza viruses.
	Florida Governor Ron DeSantis recently addressed mRNA technology in regards to COVID vaccines.
	They lied to us about the mRNA shots.
	They said if you take it, you will not get COVID.
	That is false.
	What?
	The universal flu vaccine, if successful in human trials, would not necessarily prevent infection.
	The hope is that it would give people a baseline level of immunity and reduce deaths and hospitalizations.
	Not again!
	Unlike standard flu...
	Wait a minute.
	Is that their reporting or are you putting that in?
	Alright, I put that in.
	Alright, I was confused.
	It was that good.
	...of immunity and reduce deaths and hospitalizations.
	Not again!
	Unlike standard flu vaccines that deliver one or two versions of the proteins, the experimental vaccine includes 20 different types.
	Scientists hope the immune system would then recognize any flu virus it might encounter in the future.
	Pick a protein!
	Any protein!
	DeSantis warns against ideology affecting health policy and being placed over data and evidence.
	And then what happens is, is that they will say something like, okay, six weeks of masks will end COVID.
	So that's what they claim.
	It doesn't happen.
	And then what they'll do is they will kind of move the goalposts and say, well, you know, only 95% wore it.
	So now Scientists say a universal flu vaccine would not mean an end to flu season, but it would replace the guesswork that goes into developing annual shots.
	Meanwhile, an article published in the Washington Post on Wednesday reported that a majority of Americans dying from the coronavirus were vaccinated.
	It states that 58% of coronavirus deaths in August were people who were vaccinated or boosted.
	Boosted.
	So, if I understand this report, They're going to get this, you know, instead of like COVID, they gave you the spike protein in the mRNA.
	Didn't turn out so good.
	As we just heard at the end of that report.
	For flu, they gave you 20 different proteins.
	One of them will work.
	It's just a theory.
	Pick a protein, any protein.
	This is insane.
	It's getting there.
	But it's science.
	It's science.
	It's science!
	Science, man.
	What did we learn in the past... well, is it now three years?
	It's almost three years, isn't it?
	This nonsense?
	Deadly nonsense.
	Two and a half years.
	What did we learn about mink?
	Oh, mink.
	Oh, they're bad.
	I tracked the mink.
	Yeah, you were the mink guy.
	They were culling mink, i.e.
	killing mink.
	By the tens of thousands of minks.
	Why were they killing mink?
	Because they were infected with COVID or something.
	Because they have very, very similar systems as humans, and they can easily pass it on.
	It's the same reason that we have to cull Tens of thousands of chickens and turkeys.
	Oh, it's bird flu.
	So, you know, they're gonna get it.
	And you know, you gotta get rid of them.
	Which I find always very sketchy.
	I do too.
	It seems to be more of a market control thing.
	Do you remember the mink that they buried them and then they started popping up again?
	They didn't bury them deep enough?
	I forgot that story.
	It was a crisis.
	You may still have a clip.
	Oh, I definitely have a clip.
	Let me see.
	Uh... Mink.
	Mink clips.
	A collection of mink clips.
	Unfortunately, I have a lot of, uh... Yeah, due to the same immune system.
	That's why the Spanish were killing mink.
	The Dutch were killing mink due to the same immune system.
	Um... See, we had the mink problem.
	Brett and Heather Weinstein.
	We got all kinds of clips about that.
	But I have a new clip.
	Because I would wager, I would wager, that Ohio may see some kind of super spreader event.
	Could be a great testing ground for the new mRNA flu platform.
	20 varieties!
	Who knows?
	But when this happens, my spotty sense is activated.
	Somebody releasing an estimated 40,000 minks from a farm in northwest Ohio yesterday.
	And now we're getting an idea of how much it'll cost and the damage it could cause.
	Tatiana Cash has some of those answers tonight.
	Well, Melissa, Jeff, we did learn that the farm has been able to get back about 80% of the minks that are on the loose.
	And while it could seem to some as a good thing, animals meant for slaughter were set free.
	But there's a large negative financial and economic impact from this release, which has been anything but good.
	With some 30,000 mink accounted for, leaves possibly 10,000 more on the loose, which creates a negative domino effect.
	The ecosystem, they put it in a bad situation.
	Residents are in a bad situation.
	The mink themselves are in a bad situation.
	The farmers, there's not a scenario where this is good.
	Chalice Hobbs, the Executive Director of the Fur Commission USA, says there are about 100 family farms across 12 states breeding about 1.5 million mink.
	And the average price for each is around $40.
	You're looking at 1.6 million dollars would be the livestock loss.
	That's just the livestock loss.
	We're not talking the vandalism, the graffiti, the fences broken, the cages torn apart, the barns vandalized.
	He says two Ohio farms and one Michigan have been attacked by activists in the last three weeks.
	And there it is.
	All of a sudden we have activists and they showed the graffiti, graffiti as you would say, an anarchy sign, A with a circle around it.
	Oh, that's who's doing this?
	The anarchists?
	So this is a seven minute report, not one mention of how they can pass on COVID or flu and they have the same immune system.
	And just months ago, we had to kill them.
	And now, we'll find some 10,000s, all right.
	Stinks.
	That's interesting.
	It minks.
	I hate to say it.
	It's a mink stink.
	Sounds like another op to me.
	I'm telling you baby, this is this.
	Is that the, is that this show is just nothing but... Op month.
	November, December, November is op month on your No Agenda show.
	Wow.
	So I thought that was... Something's up.
	In other words, something, the way you see it, something's up.
	Yeah, and the way you see it, it's an op.
	Yeah.
	She's pretty suspicious to me, the whole thing.
	Especially out of the blue.
	It's not like there's been any anti-mink movement.
	From the anarchists.
	From the anarchists?
	I mean, get your act together, people.
	They're getting lazy, these guys who are doing these things.
	It's because the media will do whatever they're told to do.
	Yeah, the media is too docile.
	So the White House Announced some guidance for vaccine mandates for nursing home residents and staff.
	But I want you to just... There's no clue.
	I just want you to listen to the language.
	They called this new enforcement guidance.
	That's a little disturbing.
	What is it?
	Is it guidance?
	It's enforcement guidance.
	Here's what you should do to enforce.
	Just creepy.
	And now it comes out, according to the Daily Mail, that it was in fact Biden or whoever, Obama, ordered Trudeau to end the Freedom Convoy over fears U.S.
	car plants would close within hours.
	Yeah, I was looking over all the data on this too.
	What do you think?
	Well...
	I think the evidence is weak because there's a lot of discrepancy.
	You can't get the real smoking gun, but I think it's probably true.
	Why wouldn't it be?
	Because it is a pain in the ass to have to deal with this and Trudeau is a wimp and he can be pushed around and so I think they did it.
	You gotta end this thing.
	We're gonna lose, it's gonna, again, it's commerce that's the key here.
	I don't care about the Freedom Convoy, screw them.
	Besides that, it's giving everyone a bad impression.
	They tried to do it here, we just, you know, blocked them outside of the Washington D.C.
	area and let the trucks, you can go in a circle.
	Yeah, but the way they ended the Freedom Convoy was by turning off everybody's money.
	Yes, well they've used this emergency powers thing, which was never used before.
	We did, we did.
	America, it was GoFundMe.
	America turned that off, not Canada.
	No, no, I'm talking about the Emergency Powers Act that Trudeau instituted.
	Yeah, the same year.
	Which gave him the power to do other stuff.
	But yeah, no, we turned, yeah.
	Yeah, no.
	GoFundMe's obviously a front.
	A bad one.
	Then we had the Deputy Prime Minister, I think, is she now the Finance Minister, or as some would say, Finance?
	Is she the Finance Minister?
	Well, she was part of this, part of the money shut off, if you recall.
	She's like, oh no, it's just no problem, we just shut it off.
	You can't do that, we're not going to have that.
	And she was interviewed by some dude, I don't know exactly what his deal is, but he trapped her about the mandates.
	It was a pretty funny clip.
	Hi, I'm someone to cut you off there, and you'd agree with me that given that there was no regulation in place from March 2020 through January 15, 2022, you know, during the throes of the pandemic, there was no reason to pass one in January 15, 2022, was there?
	There was no health risk.
	No, I'm afraid I don't agree.
	In January, we had an Omicron wave.
	We were still fighting COVID.
	And there was a real value in encouraging as many Canadians as possible to get vaccinated.
	So the purpose was to encourage Canadians to get vaccinated, to compel them to get vaccinated.
	Is that fair?
	That's right.
	All right.
	So that was the purpose of the regulation.
	That was the true purpose.
	Not to protect people, just to get them used to it.
	Coerce them!
	Cute.
	And nobody cares.
	Only we care, to some degree.
	To some degree.
	Let me see... Oh yeah, this is... You're going through stuff that you run into, the... Well, I had one more, just a report, no clip.
	This is a study coming from...
	The Indian Journal of Biomedicine, so take that for what it's worth.
	I don't want to say Indians aren't outstanding pharmacists and doctors and specialists.
	But this study claims that fear-mongering and misinformation may be responsible for adverse effects attributed to vaccines.
	Oh yeah, absolutely.
	Right on!
	So we are actually indirectly killing people.
	Well, we're not doing misinformation, though.
	Well, not according to us.
	No, we're not.
	No, I agree.
	And it's not according to us.
	It has nothing to do with how we feel about it.
	It's a fact.
	Now I was looking at this, kind of the story that's floating around, was in October of 2022, there was a report that went out, I think the 22nd, the 17th, something like that, there was a report that went out that Boston University had developed a COVID that was 80% kill rate.
	And so there was a big stink about this, rightfully so, because they blended Omicron with the original strain.
	And so it was a big thing.
	And so then they denied it.
	So in November, they denied it.
	Oh, really?
	And then so the next thing you look at, Massachusetts outbreak of Q11, some crazy variant that's taken over Massachusetts.
	No, no, I haven't seen this at all.
	This is fantastic.
	Well, here's the best one.
	from NBC Boston.
	Nightmare XBB variant likely already here, and that's the one that's a killer.
	That's the one that they were making.
	Probably.
	No, no, they weren't making it.
	They denied it eventually.
	Yeah, they denied it, but everyone, everyone saw that.
	Okay.
	And then if you go look at Sputnik, which I looked at for some other reasons, the Russian thing, the Russian thing.
	They claim that all these bio labs that are all over the world that are run by us, we had to outsource them every place because our labs are leakers.
	We got leaky labs!
	So you got leaky labs.
	I got leaky labs!
	So you got leaky labs in Boston that were doing this crazy COVID variant that they were developing for some unknown reason and bragging about it.
	It's a leak, it's a leaker.
	They're all leakers.
	That's insane.
	Well, somebody should be hung for whatever they did in Boston.
	Well, that's rather aggressive.
	And I'd like to see somebody, I guess.
	So I'd like to see somebody get to the bottom of this XBB variant, which is the... It's X-Ray Bravo Bravo XBB?
	Yeah.
	XBB.
	XBB.
	Okay.
	It's called a nightmare variant.
	Nightmare variant.
	I'm going to put out an APB on the XBB.
	So, according to the Telegraph, of course we see many, many, many more people, hundreds more people expected to die each month in England from cancer.
	Now I see lots of Physicians, oncologists saying they believe this is directly related because people are showing up with stage four, directly related to the vaccination, people who are in complete remission.
	But I'll just give you the story.
	Spoiler alert.
	It's because you didn't go.
	You didn't go for your checkup during lockdown.
	You didn't go.
	So sorry.
	You should have gone.
	You stayed home.
	That's that's that's how it'll be handled.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	Anyway, depressing.
	I think we're done with COVID.
	I think so.
	A little bit of COVID is not done with us.
	How about some what do we got Ukraine, Ukraine, Russia?
	I got a little bit on that.
	I don't have any.
	I got some Russia stuff about the new car they're bringing out.
	The Moskvich.
	Let's do the new car and then I'll roll out some more.
	It's actually a very interesting story because it brings back some of the thoughts we had about how Russia does this Ukraine thing and then they get all this free stuff.
	I have a question.
	Are they rolling this out?
	Is this a new launch?
	Is this a product introduction?
	It's a car that they used to make 20 years ago.
	They stopped making now.
	They brought it back out in one of the factories that they've taken over because these companies have left the country.
	It's a good story.
	And it just so happens to look exactly like a Chinese car.
	But is this something that launched pre-war?
	Or are they saying, hey, you know, the war is going so well.
	Let's launch a car.
	No, no, the car just launched like a few days ago.
	Well, that's very interesting.
	After a two-decade hiatus, Russia on Wednesday launched production of the Moskvich car brand.
	It's being built at a plant near Moscow given up by French carmaker Renault, and it has a new modern design.
	Okay.
	So Renault left the country.
	You'll hear the details about these factories being turned over to the Russians.
	Let's go with clip two.
	It looks like a Chinese car with Chinese-labeled parts and stickers of Chinese carmaker JAC everywhere.
	But it really isn't made in China, which is exactly what the recently revived Soviet-era brand Moskvich wants consumers in Russia to believe.
	After a two-decade hiatus, the carmaker marked its return with the new Moskvich 3, rolling off the floor of a former Renault plant near Moscow.
	A factory that Renault sold as it left the country in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
	The car goes on sale in Russia next month.
	Everybody thinks that we only glued our logo on the cars here, but that's not the case.
	We have an external partner.
	We have Kamaz as an external partner, and we have a long-distance partner we are working with and whom we're getting components from.
	We are not naming that partner.
	There's no prizes for guessing who.
	In fact, the Moskvich 3 looks identical to the Sehul X4 compact crossover made by China's JAC.
	A standout feature is that it has an anti-braking system.
	A component usually found in all new cars elsewhere in the world, Russian car makers have had to remove it from their cars because of Western sanctions in response to Russia's military campaign in Ukraine.
	The new, modern Chinese design is a far cry from the basic hatchbacks or three-box saloons the brand was once known for.
	Renault sold its brand and the factory Moscow will use to build these cars for a ruble each as it left.
	A ruble each?
	Yes, sir.
	Getting a ruble out of the deal.
	Uh, this is a cute little car.
	It's just a ruble each, so I guess they get one ruble per car.
	Renault does, but they turn their factory over.
	It's a jip.
	Let's take a look at the next clip, which brings in more players.
	The Russian government now aims to produce just 100,000 Moskvich vehicles a year, some of which... Wow, this is a collector's item.
	...will be electric.
	For comparison... Oh, hold on.
	Electric?
	The Russian government now aims to produce just 100,000 Moskvich vehicles a year, some of which will be electric.
	For comparison, Tesla makes one-fifth that number in a week at its Shanghai plant.
	With just 600 Moskvich-3s slated for production this year, the new model is unlikely to dislodge the gloomy outlook for the country's auto industry, whose annual sales could end the year below a million vehicles for the first time in Russia's modern history.
	It's an interesting time to roll out a car.
	Yeah, well here's the reason they did it.
	I think this is the... they'd last to tell some details.
	Oh, here we go.
	And adding to the woes, another car maker pulls out of Russia.
	Japan's Nissan is taking its name off a car plant in St.
	Petersburg.
	That's after the company's assets in Russia were nationalized.
	A crane lowered the giant red letter spelling automaker's name off the building.
	Nissan's pullout would cost the company over $680 million.
	The company halted production at its St.
	Petersburg plant in March.
	It later sold all its Russian business to a Moscow-based automotive institute at a price of only about $1.
	Though the company reserves the right to buy it back within six years.
	Nissan said this week that the sale is now complete.
	This isn't the only Japanese automaker though to end its operations in the Russian market.
	Toyota made the same decision back in September.
	Okay, so they need cars for people to function.
	And this is kind of Vladimir's Volkswagen.
	Everyone can have one.
	We've got these car factories.
	Let's build some cars.
	We only paid a dollar for the factory.
	And there's a lot going on with cars.
	The EU is starting to get pretty angry with us, United States.
	Because we're selling, you know, we're selling everything.
	We're basically price gouging.
	We're not allowing subsidies for electric vehicles unless they're made, you know, like 90% in America.
	So anything over in Europe is not getting any of the subsidies.
	There's a lot of stuff going on with vehicles specifically.
	This is rather interesting.
	Yeah, a lot of scams.
	When I turned 18 in the Netherlands, some friends of mine gave me as a birthday gift, as a lark, but it did run, a Lada station wagon.
	Oh, the lotta!
	That was... That's gotta be the... that's the collectible.
	I wish I still had it.
	Yeah, you should.
	You do wish you still... yeah.
	I know.
	I didn't say I do, because I've been practicing.
	I do think you did... you do not, yeah.
	I know, indeed.
	I can't get it out, whatever it is.
	But this... you know, what's happened... That's the one with the plastics, made out of plastic.
	Right?
	No, it was more like a tin can.
	It wasn't made out of plastic.
	I thought that was the one with the plastic sides.
	No, no, no, no.
	There was one car that's made out of plastic.
	I was always told that if it ever got bumped into, the plastic would get pushed in, and it would just pop out randomly, making a huge noise.
	No, that was not the... It's not the Lada.
	Okay, there must be some other car.
	The Lada was really pretty junky.
	The Trabant.
	Trabant, but that's French.
	No, the Trabant's not French.
	It was like Eastern Germany or Russian or something like that.
	Wait... No, the Trabant was... Oh, look it up.
	Yeah, no, he might as well not... Why are we talking about it?
	I don't know!
	We're just wasting time!
	You're right.
	East Germany.
	East Germany.
	The Trabant.
	It was made out of plastic.
	That was another car that a lot of people drove in Holland back in the 70s.
	Oh, that would be a great car to own.
	Yeah.
	What was that three-wheel drive?
	The Trabant 601 with a 500cc two-stroke engine.
	Baby.
	You have to put your own oil in.
	Making a horrible two-stroke sound.
	Smoking up the place.
	Yep, you gotta mix your own oil for that.
	Well, this was a car talk with Adam and John.
	Come back anytime, y'all.
	But this is not about Russia or about Ukraine, I should say.
	It's completely about Russia.
	And so, you know, these companies are pulling out.
	They're never intended to go back.
	And I think it's easy to see as President Biden announced the new army command in Wiesbaden.
	We have a base now and it's, you know, new, new, new base.
	It's a new base?
	Oh yeah, we got a couple of new bases.
	We got one in Germany, Wiesbaden.
	I'm opening up the story now because I think President Biden appointed a three-star general.
	Of course, this page is not opening right now.
	While that's opening, a new base is opening in... No, this is it.
	What is this here?
	This is a new base.
	I got it here.
	It's from Axios.
	Why are we opening new bases?
	Well, because we're intent... This is... Because this is... We're going back.
	We're going back in time.
	Additional troops will be deployed to Romania on a rotating basis and enhancements made to troop deployments in the Baltic states.
	We're sending two F-35 squadrons to the UK to bolster defense capabilities in Germany, Italy and naval operations in Spain.
	Where's the new base?
	Permanent headquarters for U.S.
	forces stationed in Poland.
	As well as deployment of troops and weapons to Europe elsewhere, so Wiesbaden is one.
	So we're opening up new bases.
	This is the new normal.
	I don't think Europe realizes it, but it's America against Russia, and sadly you're just cannon fodder, I think.
	A new army command, here it is.
	We have 11 new bases that just opened up in the United States.
	That's in case the Russians try to attack us.
	We're spending money left and right.
	A new command at the Army's headquarters in Germany will be established to coordinate how the U.S.
	trains and equips Ukrainian troops.
	We're only advising!
	We're consultants!
	Don't look over here.
	Consultants.
	Giving formal structure to an on-the-fly mission conceived in the wake of Russia's full-scale war on the country.
	So this is a permanent base giving formal structure to an on-the-fly mission.
	No.
	No, please.
	So, yeah, U.S.
	European Commander, let me see, U.S.
	European Command's General Christopher Cavoli presented his plan to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin for a command base in Wiesbaden, and the New York Times reported on this earlier this week, Thursday, I think.
	So, yeah.
	So, we're just opening up bases.
	U.S.
	Army, Europe, and Africa.
	Oh, this is interesting.
	I have a picture here.
	The 529th Military Police Company Honor Guard welcomed the Secretary of the Army to the Wiesbaden Kaserne, September 20th, and it literally says, headquarters U.S.
	Army Europe and Africa.
	I mean, are we expecting Rommel pretty soon?
	Great!
	This is really good.
	Alright, of course... Just to stop you talking about that, do we have any bases in Africa?
	Do we have no guts to go down in Africa and open a base?
	We had Djibouti.
	We don't have enough friendly people down there or what?
	We had Djibouti and we left, didn't we?
	I think we've left Africa and left it to the Chinese.
	The Chinese took over the base in Djibouti, if I recall.
	Yeah, no, the Chinese, they run, except for the French, they got a couple things over there on the West Coast.
	Well, the French are having issues.
	I got a clip.
	It's always good when the French are having issues.
	You brought a big thing here.
	Okay.
	This is the Tunisia.
	This is an OMG clip.
	I marked it.
	Okay.
	Because it's like, what?
	Sorry.
	I'm sorry, Tunisia?
	In Tunisia, the French language appears to be losing its appeal among the youth, at least in the classroom.
	In final high school exams, nearly 70% of students get below average scores.
	Several factors are at play, including a suffering public education system, curriculum changes and overworked teachers.
	But also, young people are turning more to English, as our team in Tunis reports.
	At the Tunis branch of the Mortimer Club, an international channeled language school, children recite English while playing.
	Nasreen enrolled her seven-year-old son, Aziz.
	In his school there's English, but it's not enough.
	That's why we wanted to encourage it and boost those hours with another club.
	In Tunisia, even if French remains the official second language, many parents are increasingly aware that their children also need to speak English or risk being left out.
	What's increased the need to learn English?
	It's opening up the social networks, TV series, American productions.
	Today, English is becoming essential.
	Students also want to learn English for professional opportunities abroad.
	Wasn't it Tunisia where the Arab Spring kicked off?
	Yep.
	Because someone, uh, because bread was too expensive.
	Yep, exactly.
	And now all of a sudden this and the failing education system and suddenly they're speaking English, which I think is somewhat ironic.
	You know, no, no, no, no, no.
	You know what that is?
	That's an op.
	I'm not going to say it.
	When we talk about web development or digital marketing, they're based on English.
	And when there are technical words in English, we can't translate them into French.
	This means I can reach a bigger audience.
	I already have an audience in Algeria, Morocco, France, and I think English is the language which speaks to the whole world.
	Wait a minute!
	employment afterwards.
	Yasmin is an Instagrammer who makes content in Arabic and English, a strategic choice to grow her audience.
	This means I can reach a bigger audience.
	I already have an audience in Algeria, Morocco, France, and I think English is the language which speaks to the whole world.
	Wait a minute.
	This is literally the op children talking.
	I get it.
	The They're planning an op on Instagram!
	I already have an audience in Algeria, Morocco, France, and I think English is the language which speaks to the whole world.
	Yeah, exactly.
	To meet other tourism markets, this multilingual guide has also decided to create immersive tours of Tunisian archaeological sites in English.
	With around 180 degrees, how big this basilica is.
	All of this is in English?
	All this is in English, much more than other languages, because it turns out that the English-speaking world is what works best in the media.
	At the International French-Speaking Summit in Tunisia this year, Emmanuel Macron said he was aware of the decline of French in some North African countries in favor of other languages.
	He called on the French-speaking world to do more to promote French.
	Yeah, good luck.
	Yeah, I was just going to say, this is something that's been irking the French for a long time because French was the international language of diplomacy.
	Yeah, it was.
	In fact, the British Parliament and all that, I think in the 1600s or whenever, spoke French.
	And I don't even understand why the Brits put up with that at all.
	They really don't like the French.
	It was just a thing.
	I think the French actually have a shot at the World Cup this year.
	For some reason, but... They won the World Cup.
	Didn't they win it last year?
	They've won it several times.
	I don't know if they won it last year.
	But, you know, they don't win it.
	They don't always win it.
	Well, hey, if you're going to talk about this, we might as well talk about the fabulous match between the UK and the United States, which ended in a nil-nil tie, what everybody strives to achieve.
	I think if I were to choose a favorite based on political motives, and I think this Qatari deal, I think the whole thing is fake.
	It could be green screen for all I know.
	I don't know if there's anyone there.
	It's weak.
	It's weak.
	The whole thing is weak.
	I believe there's people there, but you never know.
	There's talk of a lot of actors being hired to fill up the stands.
	It's just weak.
	There's no beer.
	So it's not, it's just no beer, there's no football.
	Oh, the beer scam, by the way.
	No beer, no football.
	No, the beer scam is because at the same time there was an announcement of no beer, there was an announcement of a new product from Anheuser-Busch in Bev.
	Oh, wait.
	Of an alcohol-less beer.
	The whole thing's a publicity stunt.
	No, it's an op!
	It's an op.
	No, publicity stunts I consider different than an op.
	It's a commercial op.
	Maybe it is the same.
	So there you go.
	An American, a fine American company sold out to the greasy Belgians.
	And what do they do?
	They take your alcohol away with a lie.
	And it makes sense because what they tweeted when that happened, and their tweet was like, well, this is interesting.
	And now it makes sense.
	It was complete setup.
	Shame on them, by the way.
	You ruin football, as we call it.
	You ruin it when you do things like that.
	Budweiser and all of InBev should be boycotted for a while.
	That'll be the day.
	Of course, if people like to drink, but...
	Anyway, so back to Ukraine.
	So now it makes sense that we, the United States, the value that is not going to be used by Americans unless you're in the military-industrial complex is $19 billion so far.
	Zelensky now has said he needs another $55 billion to pay for budget, infrastructure, government expenses and pensions.
	In order to keep everything rolling.
	And he will get it.
	Because as you see, we are building up our military capacity against Russia.
	And that is the new front.
	You know what?
	Afghanistan was a lot better.
	Europe?
	And you let this happen.
	And I wish I could stop it.
	But these crazy nutjobs in Washington, the Beltway, they're going to kill a lot of people.
	And they love it.
	You think that's the correct assessment?
	I don't have anything to say against it.
	Anyway, here's an update on how well the war is doing for Ukraine.
	New Russian artillery attacks have left millions of Ukrainians without power.
	This satellite photo shows Ukraine this month in near total blackout.
	CBS's Chris Livesay examines the devastation in Kherson, and we must warn you, some of what you're about to see is disturbing.
	The Russians have left Kherson, but the terror remains.
	Her name was Natasha, just a few steps from the safety of her home, when a Russian rocket killed her.
	Her husband died hours later as well, leaving behind their daughter, Liliya.
	I hate the Russians, she says.
	They took the most precious people in my life.
	But I have a son, and for him, I must live.
	Those fortunate to survive are left in the cold and the dark, with Russia gunning for the country's power grid, turning winter into a weapon.
	Families unable to cook their meals.
	On the very day the country commemorates the Great Famine of the 1930s, when the Soviet Union intentionally starved millions of Ukrainians to death.
	We cannot be broken, President Zelensky said, honoring those killed by Stalin then and Putin now.
	Once they wanted to destroy us with hunger, now with darkness and cold.
	But there are more signs that Russian forces are taking a beating, Errol.
	According to British intelligence, their supplies are so depleted, they've resorted to firing missiles from the 1980s and stripping them of their nuclear warheads.
	British intelligence adds they're unlikely to be effective.
	Thank you, British intelligence.
	What British intelligence?
	You take an old 1980s missile, you take the warhead off, put a big bomb in there, and you shoot it in, just shoot it in there, but it's not going to be effective.
	I think it'd be effective.
	It makes a bang.
	It blows something up.
	Do you know that people have stopped listening to the show in Europe because of our cavalier attitude towards this?
	They cannot believe that we are not condemning Russia continuously.
	And I would, if we could get Vladimir Putin to be sick again, because I'm waiting for the cancer to kick in.
	Or was it Parkinson's?
	You know, I believe what you said is true.
	I don't know this.
	I do, I do.
	But once you mentioned it, I'm absolutely convinced of it.
	Several people.
	We don't, you know, the problem with this show.
	And it is problematic.
	Not to just talk about the show all the time.
	But the problem with this show is that we deconstruct the news, and all we have is what we can deconstruct.
	And when we hear stuff like what we just played, where there's an old 1980s missile being flown into the country, blow something up, is no good, it's just nonsense.
	Yeah.
	And what I see, they're just getting rid of old inventory.
	But people can't, they literally have a visceral reaction to listening to us not Say Russia is horrible.
	Condemning Russia constantly.
	I mean, we promoted their new car.
	You promoted their car.
	Yeah, but if you listen carefully to that report, they were ridiculing the car in the report.
	But we weren't.
	We were loving it.
	Looks cute.
	Looks dynamite.
	Will be electric.
	Chinese car.
	Love the Lada.
	Love its roots, baby.
	Then we talked about the Trabant.
	There's very European.
	There you go.
	Yeah, Eastern European.
	Very European.
	Now the only clips I have from Ukraine, about Ukraine, are about the arms companies in Europe that are flourishing.
	And I want to play these clips because there's a little tidbit in here.
	I want to see if you catch it.
	Eastern Europe's arms industry is churning out guns, artillery shells, and other military supplies as governments in the region lead efforts to aid Ukraine in its fight against Russia.
	Here's the story.
	The war in Ukraine has taken a toll on Europe's economy, but one sector is quietly humming.
	Arms makers in Eastern Europe are churning out weapons and ammunition at a pace not seen since the Cold War.
	Many governments in the region are still wary of their old Soviet master Russia, and keen to help Kiev resist.
	Arms firms are seizing the opportunity.
	Poland's state-owned PGZ makes everything from drones to armoured vehicles.
	Boss Sebastian Chwałek says it's almost doubling its investment plans over the next decade.
	We are developing, expanding our abilities.
	We're preparing for increased deliveries not only to the Polish market, and we are aware of that.
	We are in many discussions with potential customers from third countries who would like to equip their armies with Polish equipment.
	PGZ says it has delivered all sorts of gear to Ukraine, including mortars, small arms and ammunition.
	It expects 2022 revenues to beat a pre-war target of almost $1.5 billion.
	There's a similar story in the Czech Republic.
	The country has supplied about 2.1 billion dollars of weapons to Ukraine, and arms exports are on track to hit their highest since 1989.
	That's according to Deputy Defense Minister Thomas Kopechny.
	For the Czech defense industry, the conflict in Ukraine and the assistance the industry provides to the defenders is clearly a boost that we have not seen in the last 30 years.
	It is not only that this year will be an absolute record in the export of military material, Go figure!
	Yeah, they can make bullets.
	Yep.
	They're making a lot of money in the bank, baby.
	But it is also about quality.
	It's about the fact that historically we can get access to technology, to a partnership with one of the world's largest arms industries, and that's a huge opportunity.
	Eastern Europe's arms industry first boomed under communism, churning out weapons for the Soviet bloc.
	War in Ukraine has the factories busy again, but no longer in service to the Kremlin.
	Yeah, so...
	There was a gotcha in there.
	I didn't hear it.
	It was in the second clip, right at the beginning.
	He says, now we can partner with one of the largest, you know, arms people.
	And he never says who it is.
	Who is it?
	Is it Raytheon?
	Is it one of our boys?
	Who is it?
	The Daily Mail writes, is Washington still our ally?
	EU accuses US of profiteering from Ukraine war through sales of guns and gas and threatens trade war as top diplomats moan Biden's green subsidies mean European businesses are relocating to US.
	That's a mouthful, but I'd say it'd be a US company, yeah.
	Well, it doesn't sound like anyone's relocating.
	That's for sure.
	These guys in Czechoslovakia or Czech Republic or wherever it is and Poland are doing just fine.
	Well, let's see, Deutsche Welle says that there may be some bad news on the front for energy in other European countries.
	It's still warm in the dining room, for now.
	Lunch is being served in the children's home in Ljubljana, in western Moldova.
	But director Catalina Postika is worried about the winter.
	Energy and food prices are rising, and she fears for the children's well-being.
	It's a similar situation across the country.
	Moldova's pro-European administration is a thorn in Moscow's side.
	So Russia is wielding its most effective weapon, gas.
	Russia controls the breakaway region of Transnistria, where gas is used to produce electricity.
	Normally, this covers two-thirds of Moldova's power needs.
	Demand is high because the entire country uses electric heating.
	Even buses are electric.
	Now Russia has cut gas exports, claiming that Moldova has failed to make payments.
	Sound familiar?
	These stories are just the same repetitious playbook.
	There's another one, I don't have a clip of it, but there's a screwy thing going on with Venezuela, which of course Biden's warming up to.
	I have that clip if you want, the Biden-Venezuela.
	About the Chevron?
	Oh, play it please.
	Nancy, I know there's new developments on the oil and fuel front.
	What can you tell us?
	That's right, Errol.
	A big change in U.S.
	oil policy after years of sanctions on Venezuela.
	And it comes at a time when the U.S.
	oil markets and the world oil markets are so uncertain.
	Today, the Biden administration announced that it is going to allow oil giant Chevron to resume limited production in Venezuela, the country with the largest oil reserves in the world.
	Chevron and other oil companies haven't been able to operate in Venezuela for nearly four years after the U.S.
	imposed severe sanctions on Venezuela's oil industry in an effort to weaken the corrupt regime of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
	But today, in Mexico City, the Maduro government resumed negotiations with opposition leaders about holding free and fair elections.
	also agreed to establish a humanitarian program and last month he released seven americans including five oil executives who were wrongly detained five years ago still u.s officials say that they are prepared to revoke this new six-month license from chevron if venezuela does not continue to negotiate in good faith errol okay let's break this one down yeah
	well biden cough Venezuela used to be the big source of gasoline for the United States.
	Major.
	Through the Citgo gas stations.
	Right.
	And this was when we could never quite find energy independence for some reason.
	Yeah, it was impossible.
	Can't do it.
	We hope next president will do it.
	Yeah.
	And then Trump did it, of course, because it's doable.
	And that had to be turned back.
	Yeah, can't have anything like that.
	So it's really put a dent in our system when we don't have Venezuelan oil coming in or gasoline primarily coming in.
	How long did we have an embargo?
	How long did we have an embargo on Venezuela?
	Ever since Maduro got re-elected.
	It's been a number of years.
	It's within the show time frame.
	Yeah, Obama.
	Yeah, Obama.
	I think it was Obama.
	Yeah, because I don't think Bush did it.
	So anyway, but we can look it up again.
	But I'm not going to.
	But Chevron's a gasoline maker.
	So they have a refinery down there that probably they can only run.
	And I don't know if it was shut down or they had to start it up.
	I'm not sure what the story is.
	I can ask my connection to Chevron and have him find out.
	But whatever the case is, they're only giving him a six-month leash.
	But that's bullcrap, because it takes months to get the refinery up to full speed to really start pumping out gasoline, and so they're not going to let it get to full speed and then pull the plug on it.
	I would predict immediately that that six-month thing would get extended no matter what Maduro does, good faith or bad faith.
	That's not going to end.
	These oil companies are powerful.
	And is this coincidental that we in America seem to be shutting down refineries?
	I think we were shutting one down.
	We need to go green.
	We need to go green.
	Right, so we're exporting the nasty to Venezuela.
	Ah, good.
	Well, the obvious question is... Oil refineries aren't a mess.
	It's not green!
	They're not green.
	We're green.
	It's not easy being green.
	Well, let's see if this will make any difference for us here at home.
	That's right.
	And Nancy, what could this mean then for US gas prices?
	Nothing.
	Well, White House officials insist that this move has nothing to do with their efforts to boost global oil supply.
	And they warn that it's unlikely to do much to gas prices in the short term because this only affects one oil company on a limited basis.
	But it does mean that the U.S.
	could soon begin to purchase oil from Venezuela, oil that previously had been bound for China.
	Ah, usurping China.
	According to CBS.
	And of course we need some relief.
	That's the soft pedal.
	The right wing complaint about Biden selling out to Iran and Venezuela, two countries that are supposed to be our enemies, just to get some gasoline so he can get reelected.
	Well, this is what really is necessary, certainly here in the United States, and it's no different in Europe.
	Gas prices are down sharply since their record highs earlier this year, today averaging about $3.75 a gallon.
	But the cost of diesel fuel remains stubbornly high, averaging about $5.35 a gallon.
	In five states, including California, it's over $6.
	Is Venezuela... I have more of this clip.
	Is Venezuela... would that help the diesel supply?
	I don't think they, I don't think so.
	No?
	I mean, if they turn, they can make the refinery produce diesel, but this new low sulfur diesel and all the rest, no, I don't think, no, I don't think, no, it's just gasoline.
	Okay.
	In five states including California.
	I mean, I don't know for a fact, but there's no evidence that I know of that indicates that they can do it.
	In five states, including California, it's over $6.
	Diesel powers the U.S.
	economy, and as Adriana Diaz reports, that's driving up the cost of just about everything.
	How do I get up?
	If you want to know about diesel prices, hitch a ride with J.D.
	Painted and his chihuahua, Axel.
	My last trip was over $5,000 worth of diesel.
	You're kidding.
	From Chicago to California?
	I'm back.
	It used to cost up to $3,500.
	And I look at it like this.
	It's expensive to run these, okay?
	But I also understand that people here in Chicago needed the load of onions I brought back.
	People at home are really thinking about gas prices because that's what they pay for at the pump.
	How are Americans ultimately also footing the bill for this expensive diesel?
	They're not buying diesel, but everything they get delivered to their home, all their food, is shipped by trucks.
	70% of all goods here in America are shipped by trucks.
	So they're feeling it, because all these extra costs have to get trickled down into the consumer.
	To cope, he's had to cut pay 5 cents a mile for his drivers, including Payton.
	Some people might think 5 cents is just a nickel.
	I've lost $200 to $400 a week.
	$200 to $400 a week?
	Yeah.
	That's a lot.
	Is this a crisis?
	It's as close as you can get to a crisis.
	Patrick Tehan analyzes oil markets at GasBuddy.
	Is it the war in Ukraine that's putting pressure on oil markets?
	The primary factor is, I would say, COVID, which caused Americans to abruptly shift driving behavior, shutting down major refineries, as well as Russia's invasion of Ukraine, crimping the flow of oil from Russia.
	Sure.
	No, brother.
	Uh, but this is bad.
	I don't know what we have, but we have a rail strike coming up too.
	Yeah, I think I may have a clip.
	I wouldn't mention that.
	You know, the thing about diesel is if anyone's got a long memory, meaning more than five to 10 years, diesel was always the cheap fuel on the list.
	Always prices.
	It'd be like a gas would be like two 50 and yeah, for premium.
	And then diesel would be like a buck.
	And then you have, I mean, it was always, And you have farm fuel, which has a color to it, typically red, so that you can, you know, you can not pay a whole bunch of taxes.
	It's even cheaper that way.
	I guess that's not available for truckers.
	I don't even know if they do that anymore.
	But the point is, is that diesel as a product is a cheesy thing to make.
	It's not like the refinement that you need to make gasoline.
	Gasoline is a highly refined product.
	Well, then why is it so expensive?
	Well, they came up with this thing where they came with this new specs and the specs for the sulfur content went through the roof in terms of low, low, low sulfur.
	And to get the diesel that low in sulfur, it has to be, I guess you have to get the sulfur out of diesel.
	It took a lot of extra refining to jack the price up instantly.
	And that started about five years ago.
	When you first saw the diesel prices were more expensive than gasoline, that's when that began.
	Growing up in the Netherlands in the 70s, there were three kinds of people.
	The quote-unquote normal people, who just had regular normal gasoline cars.
	We had a Volvo 241, a 141 tank with a lawnmower engine.
	Then you had the people who drove on diesel, and this was always one guy on the block, and the whole back of his car was black, right near the exhaust.
	And he'd drive away in the morning, you know, and be like, man, you stink.
	And then there were the weirdos, and the weirdos had a liquid petroleum gas tank in their trunk.
	And that was the cheapest.
	And you roll up and they'd open the trunk and you put the LPG nozzle on and they would have the cheapest.
	Now, the cars didn't run that well on it, apparently.
	Well, you can get your car to run on that today, to this day, but the problem is there's not that many outlets where you can pick that gasoline or that fuel up.
	You know, just as a little side thing, Becky Worley, Had her car done as a propane car or a natural gas car, one of the two.
	Really?
	A gas car.
	And because she was commuting across the bridge so much, the only way you could get across it, you'd need that little sticker to have a special vehicle that, you know, that you don't need an extra person in the car and all that.
	But you're not allowed to drive on certain days?
	No, you can drive all the time.
	I don't understand.
	She had to get a special sticker for what?
	To go across the bridge free.
	Oh!
	So she converted her car to save the three bucks.
	How much is it to get across the bridge these days?
	Right now I think it's six dollars and maybe it's higher.
	It keeps going up.
	They jack it up.
	I still have the advertisements from when they built that bridge.
	Free!
	It was going to be free!
	Free forever!
	Free.
	When I was commuting into Manhattan from New Jersey, it was $3 into the Lincoln Tunnel.
	At Bridge or Tunnel, it didn't matter.
	Now it's like $16.
	If you have to do that every day, it kind of racks up.
	All right, here's the rail strike, which we've been tracking.
	I thought President Biden, good old Joe, had fixed this.
	He brought everyone to his office and he said, hey, everyone give a little, take a little.
	And it was good, and now it isn't good.
	And now on to the possible railroad strike.
	President Biden yesterday claimed he's not directly in touch with- Is this NTD?
	This is your clip.
	You tell me!
	You've got an NTD clip.
	You tell me!
	This is a very funny clip, by the way.
	And now on to the possible railroad strike.
	President Biden yesterday claimed he's not directly in touch with either side.
	But that contradicts what White House officials have said.
	NTD's Jessica Beatty has more.
	President Biden Thursday told reporters the talks are ongoing between railroads and unions.
	And because of that, he said he himself has not directly engaged with either side yet.
	But that contradicts what the White House press secretary said earlier this week.
	The president is indeed involved directly, but I don't want to get into details at this time, but he has been involved.
	He remains focused, again, on protecting America's families.
	Earlier this week, another union rejected a tentative agreement with freight railroads.
	The major sticking point is paid sick leave.
	Unions want it, but railroads refuse it, claiming unions agreed to skip it in order to get short-term disability benefits and higher pay.
	The latest union rejection ups the possibility of a nationwide rail strike that could seriously hit the economy ahead of the holidays.
	A new estimate puts the cost of a freight rail strike at $1 billion in its first week.
	The Anderson Economic Group is calling the potential strike one of the most disruptive events that can happen to the economy.
	Lost agricultural goods and food spoilage would quickly add to mounting losses.
	The Retail Industry Leaders Association is calling on policy makers to intervene to avoid an economic disaster.
	If no contract deal is reached, the four rail unions that voted against an agreement set a joint strike date of December 9th.
	Hmm.
	Do your Christmas shopping, people.
	Yeah.
	What is deceit?
	Although they tend to, the last time there was a big rail strike, I think the president, they have an executive thing they can do where they can force you back to work.
	Or they can fire everybody, like Reagan did with air traffic controllers.
	That was a one-shot thing.
	There's too many people involved in the rail industry.
	Then you run a bunch of amateurs running these trains up and down the thing.
	So what do we know about this particular union?
	Most unions are very politically involved and connected, so could they be doing this?
	I know nothing.
	You're a union guy!
	I know.
	Disappointing.
	We should figure that out.
	Which brings us to my other strike, union strike clip.
	Yes, this was an interesting one.
	This is Amazon.
	Dozens of striking Amazon workers gathered outside an Amazon warehouse in the southern suburbs of Paris on Black Friday, calling for salary increases and better working conditions.
	It's part of a move across the world to target the online retailer on one of the busiest shopping days of the year.
	The Make Amazon Pay initiative made the call for strikes and says industrial action was planned in more than 30 countries, including the United States.
	French unions called for strikes at France's eight Amazon warehouses.
	Amazon France said there had been no sign of disruption to operations so far.
	Yeah, I'm also not sure how effective this was.
	There was 40 countries they claimed, including United States, Germany, France.
	I don't know if they had any other, like the Netherlands.
	I don't know.
	I mean, it could work in France.
	But I just don't know how big this was.
	I see people with balaclavas on with Amazon stickers.
	Are you an actual employee?
	There's, by the way, professional signs.
	Yeah, well, unions tend to get professional signs made because they have union printing shops.
	I just don't think that it was that disruptive.
	No, it wasn't.
	In fact, one of my Amazon packages was stolen and I put the complaint in and nobody ever responded, so I lost out on whatever it was, I think, which irks me to no end.
	I'm going to continue to complain.
	So in America, but also around the world, we have a thing called Black Friday.
	Even in the Netherlands, where Thanksgiving should not be celebrated, I don't think it is, they do have a Black Friday.
	Amazon makes a Black Friday everywhere.
	Yeah, Amazon's promoted this.
	It started a number of years ago during our show.
	Good job.
	About five or six years ago, it started in England.
	They started promoting the idea of Black Friday, even though nobody celebrates Thanksgiving.
	It was just the last weekend or the last Friday of November, and it caught on.
	Yes.
	People love it everywhere, especially since we all have credit cards.
	The National Retail Federation predicts that holiday sales will grow between 6 and 8 percent this year.
	In November and December, shoppers will spend between $942 and $960 billion.
	This holiday weekend, consumers are racking up more credit card debt.
	Credit card balances rose more than 15% since last year, the largest jump in more than 20 years.
	I had to put stuff on credit cards.
	I had to pay for one of my, like, college classes on a credit card, too.
	But it seems gone are the days where people crowded into stores for Black Friday deals.
	Actually, when we pulled up, we were thinking, what's going on?
	Like, where is everybody?
	Yeah, retail was dead.
	Everyone online, everyone using credit, and I think that this next clip, which signifies, I believe the trigger of all triggers, and this thing will be pushed ahead six months, six months, forever by both the Democrats and the Republicans, is the student debt.
	Folks, I want to give you an update on my student debt relief plan.
	As Americans continue to recover from the pandemic, My administration has been working to provide student debt relief to millions of working and middle-class families across the country.
	But Republican special interests and elected officials sued to deny this relief, even for their own constituents.
	But I'm completely confident my plan is legal.
	But right now, it's on hold because of these lawsuits.
	We're not going to back down, though, in our fight to give families breathing room.
	That's why the Department of Justice is asking the Supreme Court of the United States to rule on the case.
	But it isn't fair to ask tens of millions of borrowers eligible for relief to resume their student debt payments while the courts consider the lawsuit.
	For that reason, the Secretary of Education is extending the pause on student loan payments while we seek relief from the courts, but no later than June 30, 2023, which would give the Supreme Court an opportunity to hear the case in its current term.
	Payments will resume 60 days after the pause ends.
	I'm never going to apologize for helping working class and middle class families recover from the economic crisis created by the pandemic.
	And I'll continue working to make government work to deliver for all Americans.
	For all Americans.
	This is important.
	Say it twice.
	It is my- So he's a liar.
	He knows it's unconstitutional.
	Nancy Pelosi, we have the clip of Pelosi- You're missing the point.
	Of course he's a liar.
	Everyone knows it.
	But we know one thing for certain.
	We cannot start student debt repayment.
	People will be bankrupted.
	That's an interesting idea.
	No, no.
	Bankrupted.
	There's two and a half years of interest.
	Just because you don't have to pay anything, the interest keeps racking up.
	Now this is a disaster.
	It is a disaster.
	Forget about getting rid of some of it or all of it.
	They cannot restart it.
	I'm getting information from all over the United States, certainly.
	What if you're someone who wants to pay it, you're paying it off?
	Well, most people who had been paying it off aren't paying it off now because they don't realize that the interest just racks up.
	Is anyone paying it off?
	There must be somebody.
	I don't think so.
	No.
	It cannot restart.
	I think both the Republicans and the Democrats, they know this.
	If you restart it, then everyone's broke.
	Like immediately.
	Everyone's broke now.
	Exactly!
	And you know the deal is, you know, if you go bankrupt you can't absolve yourself of this debt, which I think that is the unconstitutional part.
	Well that was... That was Biden.
	Biden set that up in Delaware.
	No, that was Clinton.
	Yes, but Biden set it up in Delaware.
	He set that up.
	He's the one that got that bill so that you could not be resolved of that debt of student loan debt if you went bankrupt.
	How about this for an idea for these idiots?
	Reinstate the bankruptcy laws correctly so if you go broke because of these student debts, You're bankrupt.
	You don't have to pay it because you're bankrupt, technically bankrupt.
	You don't have to pay it, which of course is pressure on making you renegotiate the loan.
	There's a lot of, you know, you can stay out of bankruptcy if they go back to the old bankruptcy laws.
	This particular law Again, when Biden was a senator, he's the guy that got this set up through Delaware.
	And now the story is that there's no way to get rid of your student or be absolved of student loan debt in a personal bankruptcy.
	I think there is some evidence that you actually can, but the myth is there.
	No, I think your initial, I think your initial statement was true.
	I believe that too.
	I've heard that too.
	But they've also changed the bankruptcy law in the case of credit card debt and some other things, making it kind of useless.
	Yeah, probably not in our favor.
	No, duh.
	Yeah, here's the filing for bankruptcy on your student loans is hard to do.
	You can do it.
	Congress didn't define what it meant by undue hardship.
	That was the trick here.
	So it was left to the courts to decide.
	So, you need to go through the Brunner test.
	And this is, I think, where... I don't know who Brunner was, but he sounds like a douche.
	You must prove the following.
	A present inability to repay the debt while maintaining a minimal standard of living.
	Well, that's subjective.
	These days, A tent is seen as a home in Boise.
	A high likelihood that these circumstances will persist for most of the loan's normal repayment and a good-faith effort to repay the loans using options for financial relief like deferments, forbearances, and income-driven repayment.
	And then it just... There you go.
	Yeah.
	Sucks.
	The whole thing sucks.
	It's always the money that's the problem, strangely.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage, saying good morning to you, the man who put three C's in the Muscovich card, ladies and gentlemen.
	Say hello to my friend on the other end, Mr. John C. DeVos!
	Good morning to you, Mr. Adam Kirk.
	Also, good morning to all the ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the demons and knights out there.
	Good morning to the trolls in the troll room.
	We've had a lot of anti-Semitic trolls.
	I've been kicking a few out here and there.
	So annoying when people do that, come in and just say, no money for the Jews!
	Like, what are you trying to do, bro?
	It's not funny, no one cares, you know, and then what are you trying to do?
	That's how No Agenda Social got on ban list, because of idiots.
	Yeah, because of these guys.
	Dickheads, yeah, unbelievable.
	And by the way, Ut Melkert, the Dutch guy, you're a dick.
	People have nothing better to do than be, just say horrible things.
	It doesn't matter.
	The signal-to-noise ratio in the troll room is high, in general, so... And maybe that's because we don't have many of them in there today.
	Let's see... We have 1,947.
	Well, that's actually up from Thursday.
	We have 1,947.
	Well, that's actually up from Thursday.
	No wonder.
	It's all those dicks who came in.
	It's still down from normal, but it's up from Thursday.
	47 was a great year for it.
	Thursday was really bad.
	Well, it was Thanksgiving!
	Did you have a nice Thanksgiving, by the way?
	I don't get it!
	So what?
	They shouldn't listen to the show!
	Did you have a nice Thanksgiving?
	Yeah, we had a great Thanksgiving.
	Eric was down with the kids.
	Mm-hmm, nice.
	And he took his big giant trailer with him, and he's got his big giant truck that he drives that pulls the trailer.
	It uses diesel.
	All he does is complain about the gas prices.
	Six dollars a gallon.
	Oh, he's getting ripped off!
	So he's driving his, you know, diesel, smart idea.
	Oh, let's get a diesel.
	So you got a diesel and it's just like, oh god, I gotta pay this kind of, and it's way, and you, I look at him, oh my god.
	There's Eric.
	It's a ripoff.
	Oh, man.
	So, uh, they've had to scamper back, though, because there's a big storm a-brewin'.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah.
	They scampered.
	I don't think that big diesel truck, I don't envision that as scampering.
	You haven't seen Eric drive.
	Okay, scampering.
	Trolls in the troll room, as I just mentioned, they're there live and we do the show live.
	Noagendastream.com is pretty much a live operation now.
	We still have this fabulous four hours of great rock and roll pre-show.
	On Sundays on Thursdays two hours rock and roll pre-show cuz we got the blues on Sundays the first two hours And you know we've set it up now with podcasting 2.0 where right now the the app that does it completely front-to-back is pod verse you can get it on iOS and Android that literally will drop you into the into the troll room with the stream in the same app that you get all your podcasts in and And it's well worth checking out.
	Or any of the apps at newpodcastapps.com.
	And of course, we have noagendasocial.com where we all hang out.
	It's gotten busy in the Feddie.
	Have you noticed any difference in the Feddie now that we have so many Twitter refugees coming in?
	Do you see any difference in the Fediverse?
	You're a big noagendasocial guy.
	No, I see no difference.
	I see a lot of new people.
	Okay.
	I see a lot of people, I never seen this person before, and then they do what they always do on these things.
	They tweet, tweet, tweet, or toot, toot, toot.
	They do a bunch of stuff, and then they get moderate response, and they go, oh, this sucks.
	And they slow down.
	I'd like to thank Aaroner, who runs noagendasocial.com for us.
	The version four of Mastodon, they got rid of the toot.
	They now call it publish.
	They took toot, the term toot.
	They must have gotten some suit, it must have been a lawsuit.
	No!
	No!
	This is just how idiots think.
	Oh, you're promoting cocaine use.
	No, we need to professionalize!
	People don't understand a toot, they need publish.
	And Ehrener went, no, and he just changed that, so it's still toot.
	Yeah, I like that a lot.
	Yeah, screw him.
	NoAgendaSocial.com.
	Now let us thank the artist for episode 1,506.
	Hold on a second.
	Let me get to it.
	We titled that one Dr. Whoopie.
	Whoopie.
	And the art, we didn't argue very long.
	Season 137 did this.
	This was the, of course it was a Thanksgiving show.
	There was a lot of Thanksgiving artwork and this was a QR code.
	That if you looked at it, it was really a turkey who just laid an egg.
	Pixelated.
	Pixelated turkey who laid an egg.
	I was tired, so I didn't put up a fight.
	But also... You liked it too.
	I didn't.
	Well, let me see.
	I thought there was something else that I liked.
	You know what it was?
	It was not the slickest piece that we liked.
	You really used slick artists, like artsy.
	And this was like just counting.
	And your argument was for it.
	You said, I think it's a change of pace.
	That's just because I was tired.
	I didn't care.
	I didn't want to argue.
	Well, you wouldn't be able to find something else that could top it.
	No, I recall that we could not find anything to top it.
	And I'm looking now.
	We had the eat more bugs.
	That was pretty funny with the turkey.
	I used several of those for the pre-stream.
	I can't even find where that QR code is.
	I do recall saying this, saying, hey, I wonder if it actually goes somewhere.
	Yeah, you did say that.
	For extra points, that would have been great.
	If it actually went somewhere, unfortunately.
	I liked the Thanksgiving dessert, which I was told would be pie.
	I like that piece and I use it for the newsletter.
	I already used the piece by Mountain J of the Thanksgiving Bird.
	Oh, no, all of it's highly usable.
	Highly usable.
	No, there's a lot of pieces.
	There's about eight, ten pieces here that we could use, but... And it was, of course, it was a silent win for me because, you know, we talked about the QR code and how it had been resurrected, and so there it was, just someone saying, Adam was right, here's a dumb QR code.
	And thank you, Comics for Blogger, for the QR code on someone's panties.
	Did you scan that?
	No, I didn't want to point my camera at the image, it's so disgusting.
	It goes to No Agenda, I'm sure.
	It goes to the No Agenda website.
	Or, who knows?
	Somebody in the chat room, in the troll room should hit that QR code right now and tell us where it goes.
	I'm telling you, it goes to nowhere.
	I can just look at the QR code and I see that it goes to our site.
	I can decode those.
	That would be cool if you could do that.
	Is that possible?
	That would be kind of... Is that possible?
	If you're a robot, you could.
	Thank you very much, CZ137, for bringing us the artwork.
	It's an incredibly important piece of value for the overall product.
	People wait.
	People love to weigh in on what we choose.
	It's always catchy.
	It's a game changer because there are no mainstream podcasts, no podcast really of any I mean, maybe one or two, but you don't see NPR or PBS or iHeartRadio.
	You don't see them changing art because they can't afford it because of their model.
	So they have an inferior product where we just have producers who do it all for us and it's really appreciated.
	NoAgendaArtGenerator.com.
	You can follow along live if you're listening live or go back and look.
	And of course, a lot of that shows up at NoAgendaShop.com in the form of t-shirts, hats, hoodies.
	They've got cool extra premiums now.
	They've got bottle openers, belt buckles.
	I like it.
	It's getting into apparel.
	That's a tough business.
	Well, he runs it with his wife.
	The t-shirt business in particular, it looks like a winner.
	You know, let's do a podcast.
	I'm going to make money selling t-shirts.
	And if you try it, you'll discover we had went through a number of operations besides us trying it ourselves.
	that just tried it and then they, yeah, there's too many t-shirts left, I didn't sell them all, it was one thing or another.
	So you have to run a tight ship to do that business well. - And-- - Unless they're taking a beating and I don't know it, I mean, it's possible. - And I just saw, I think a newbie, Arthur 500, saying, "Well, you gotta ask the artist for permission." Believe me, this is well set.
	This is value for value.
	We don't have a contract, a handshake, anything with No Agenda Shop.
	No Agenda Shop talks to the artist, says, hey, I'll give you a 33rd, 33%.
	We'll, uh, whatever profit there is, we'll give the show a donation, which varies.
	And, and they clearly keep the operation running.
	It's a beautiful system and nothing is done without permission.
	That's, that's what I like.
	And it's, but it's, there's also no contracts as far as I know.
	No.
	Love it.
	Y'all are great.
	Value for value.
	We're doing this voluntarily.
	It's a voluntary thing.
	Love it.
	Let us thank... But the problem is what he just described is a typical problem you'd have if you're doing an NPR podcast.
	Completely.
	Did you get the right permissions?
	Send it to legal.
	Have them look over the contract.
	A week later, it comes back with a bunch of changes, and you go, okay, we have to send this.
	Can you sign this?
	Yeah, sure, I'll sign it.
	I gotta send it to my legal.
	I'll send it to my legal.
	You wait.
	You wait for days.
	Did you send this contract back?
	We need the contract back so we can do the mugs.
	Oh, shit.
	Yeah, I'll get it.
	I'll get to it tomorrow.
	You'll get it the next day.
	So months go by.
	You're so right.
	It's horrible.
	And then by the time you get it done, you don't like the design.
	Like, because in there you'd have to be able to approve the design so you have to do a prototype.
	And you have to have a committee.
	It's a nightmare.
	Yeah.
	We're genius.
	I mean today it's really just us congratulating ourselves.
	I'm so pleased.
	We're great.
	Thank you very much.
	We really appreciate all the work that all of the producers do.
	We also have producers who weigh in with the treasure part of the trifecta, time, talent, treasure.
	And we kick it off today with our first executive producer, Alexander Bjargo.
	He's in Alicante, Spain, and he sends us $500.
	And he has the longest note, but there's some content in here.
	I live in sunny Spain, where we run a cash-based chiropractic clinic.
	Didn't we read this one on the last show?
	I think we read this one.
	That sounds familiar.
	Yeah, it's a native country, Norway.
	No, we read this one.
	I don't remember the $500, though.
	I think it was a make-good.
	We did a... This is really odd.
	I remember reading this.
	This was for his 50 times around the sun.
	We congratulated him on the last show.
	Yeah.
	I don't think we get his donation was credited.
	We have a back office.
	No, it was credited.
	I think this is... Oh, I don't remember a $500.
	Was there a $500 donation last show?
	Well, what I can easily do is take a look at the credits, and he's right there at the top, Alexander Bjargo.
	We did this one on the last, on the Thanksgiving special.
	When was that note dated?
	I don't know, man.
	I'm looking at the spreadsheet.
	Oh, this is... I thought you were reading the note.
	Oh, hold on a second.
	Could this be a different email?
	A different donation?
	Well, we don't know.
	Hold on, hold on, hold on.
	This is our top donor, we gotta at least figure this guy out.
	Alexander, okay, let me see.
	I wonder where Alicante is.
	24th of November.
	So that would, yeah, so that would, this is, I don't, I don't understand.
	That would have come in on Thursday.
	Well, you know, it could have happened.
	It could have, the mail could have come in and got put on the, that would account for some discrepancy in the value of the.
	And it came in at 2 43 AM my time.
	You know what we need to do?
	We need to fix this.
	And I think we'll do that in Q1, everybody.
	So everything gets fixed in Q1.
	Alexander, thank you again, regardless.
	We, we did read your note on the last time on the last show and If this is a new donation, thank you.
	We'll figure it out for sure.
	Well, I'll skip right to Jerry Jensen, then, from College Station, Texas.
	Home of the, uh... Aggies!
	Texas Aggies.
	Exactly.
	$400.01.
	Uh, he says this month marks 10 years on the $5 a month subscription plan.
	This producer title is long overdue and gets me to knighthood.
	Thanks for all the value you guys have provided over the years.
	Shout out to a neighbor, John, who I hit in the mouth and who beat me to having his name read out in a donation segment.
	No jingles, no karma.
	Thank you very much, Jared.
	DameBangBang solves a riddle from the previous episode with 333.36 from Buelton, California.
	ITM, this is, by the way, this note shows you what No Agenda Nation is all about.
	Thank you to all the concerned producers who called, texted, and DM'd me after Thursday's show to see if I was okay and to find out what in the heck Sir D.H.
	Slammer had done!
	As you recall, Sir D.H.
	Slammer sent a OneNote donation saying, I'm so sorry, Dame Bang Bang, so...
	We were even, we were confused by this.
	To clarify.
	Yes, we were.
	He did nothing.
	He was not in trouble.
	He was trying to pre-bank an apology for the holidays and it clearly went terribly wrong.
	Man, what does he do with the holidays that you need to pre-bank?
	Pre-bank?
	Pre-bank?
	Wow.
	Pre-banking is obviously, that's the rage.
	Pre-bank.
	I think that's related to CBDCs.
	So he, in fact, is going to do something wrong?
	I guess.
	Or he typically does.
	You know, it's like one of those, well, you know, baby, I get sloshed on the holidays, so I'm sorry.
	Thus leading many no-agenda-ers to be concerned that we might have had a fight after all these 22 years.
	Well, he is now out on an apology because I did get mad at him for all the trouble and concern he caused.
	Ugh, this bank is empty.
	You better pre-bank some more, bruh.
	I may get over it by our anniversary in January if he donates to celebrate.
	There you go.
	We encourage this type of marriage counseling.
	Sorry to anyone that got concerned.
	Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.
	Please send Sir DH Slammer some goat karma because I think he may need it this holiday season.
	Sincerely, Dame Bang Bang.
	You've got karma.
	Yes, we have Gunnar here in San Francisco.
	3333.
	Interesting.
	Hey dudes, Gunnar Gunnar Gunnar Gunnar here.
	I'll make this short.
	My dad has heart surgery at the beginning of the week.
	I need some best.
	I need the best goat karma you got for my dad and the any and all of the no agenda family out there that is going through some rough times.
	I love you, Dad.
	I can't wait to be back out on the driving range with you.
	Hitting a bucket of balls.
	We'll double up the goat for you.
	You've got karma.
	Not messing around with that.
	Gotta get back to the balls.
	Cutter Stone is in Anchorage, Alaska, 233.33.
	Gentlemen, I found you through Adam's first interview with Joe Rogan 999 days ago.
	Time to get on the show again.
	I think I'm done, though.
	I don't think I'm gonna invite it anytime soon.
	What?
	Stop the show?
	What?
	I've been on four times!
	Well, that's okay.
	You're the Tony Randall now of that show.
	You get called in when you're needed, because you need... Well, that's only happened once, and that was the fourth time, so... I don't know.
	I mean, I can do it.
	Oh, it'll happen again, but it won't be, like, anytime soon.
	So the first one was 999 days ago.
	That's cool.
	Your deconstruction and analysis of the news has had a profound effect on the size of a portion of my brain.
	It seems that I was born with a very tiny amygdala.
	Hold on a second.
	He's got this backwards.
	Yes, he does.
	It's okay.
	We understand.
	He didn't do an actual scan.
	He's self-diagnosing.
	A dozen helicopter rescues, innumerable car and airplane crashes, broken bones, stitches, and a missing finger point to that probability.
	What I have learned about...
	The state of the world through your show has freaked me out and thus helped it to grow.
	My now resized amygdala has improved my risk analysis to the point that I'm more cautious when standing on the top rung of a ladder trimming branches with a chainsaw.
	I can't thank you enough!
	Please accept this donation as my first installment towards knighthood at de-douching.
	I'm sorry.
	I'll double de-douche you for that.
	You've been de-douche-ed.
	A de-douching and a little karma might be handy.
	One more de-douche.
	Sorry about that.
	You've been de-douche-ed.
	Didn't mean to do that.
	Cutterstone.
	You've got karma.
	Alright.
	Cindy Sheets in Greenwood, Indiana, $200.
	And she writes, switcheroo, associate executive producer for Cindy Sheets, The net crosswords of AM ending.
	Oh, this is, this is a confusing note.
	I think this is, wait, didn't we have this one last week as well?
	Uh, maybe.
	I think this was the Indiana meetup.
	Yeah, maybe.
	Yeah, it could be.
	I'll, I'll, I'll ask them what they're doing back there.
	This would account for the, the addition, uh, errors from the last show total.
	I love it.
	We've gone from bad to worse.
	Let me see.
	No, she's not on there from last time.
	No, she is associate executive producer on the last show.
	So these are doubles.
	But not all of them.
	Are they all double?
	No, don't tell me they're not all.
	Have we just doubled everybody?
	Hold on a second.
	No.
	No, it's just a few.
	I know for a fact that nobody else is, because I don't remember Gooner's story.
	No, I don't.
	No, we don't have him on the list.
	Doesn't matter, Cindy.
	Thanks.
	And the next one, which is Tatya... Talia.
	Jempre... Talia.
	We never got that.
	No, this is new.
	There's two doubles.
	There's two doubles.
	Yeah.
	They probably came in at midnight or something, the timing.
	Talia Dupree is in Bikini, Texas, associate executive producer, and she says, Adam, I'm a dental hygienist.
	Very curious about what kind of procedure you are having.
	Sounds like maybe an all in four.
	Now, I wish I knew what that means.
	I looked it up.
	Oh, thank you.
	What is it?
	It's just like they spend a bunch of time, they do everything at once, so a bunch of stuff on your mouth.
	Unfortunately, not everything.
	So I have... Well, then it's not an all-in-four.
	No, it's not.
	It's extractions, it's bone grafting... We don't want to hear this.
	Yes, I'm answering the question.
	You don't want to hear it.
	Okay?
	You don't want to hear it.
	I don't care that you don't want to hear it.
	It's cathartic to me to talk about it because I'm very anxious about it.
	So, a little cleanup, and then I have, and they will put temporaries in, and I will have to wait three months to see how well the, everything takes, how well I heal, and then I get the implants.
	Praying for a speedy recovery.
	Also, add me to the birthday list.
	I turn 39 the 28th.
	Thanks, Talia Dupree Douglas.
	You're welcome.
	And that was actually the last one, I think, wasn't it?
	Yeah, we only had seven.
	And two of them are dupes, so we only had five.
	Hey, thanks for those five.
	I appreciate it.
	Five is better than four.
	This is the worst day of the year, always.
	We have nobody that comes around.
	Everyone spent their money on Amazon.
	Nobody's listening.
	Today's the number one travel day, so everyone's going back home.
	And everybody blew their wad on Black Friday.
	I understand.
	We also appreciate every single person who supports the show, any way you support it.
	And we have lots of people to thank in the second segment.
	And there's always people who are on, luckily, still on some of those sustaining donations.
	Very appreciative, very grateful for Knowage and the nation, always stepping up one way or the other.
	And we'll get this process fixed.
	We'll get that a little bit better.
	Q1.
	Thank you again.
	If you'd like to learn how to become an executive producer or associate executive producer and get one of these anytime, all forever credits, Which are good forever.
	Go to here.
	Thank you all for your time, your talent, and your treasure for episode 1507.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Order!
	Order!
	Shut up, slave!
	Water! Order!
	Shut up, slave! Shut up, slave!
	Right.
	Bro.
	Right.
	That brings us to what?
	Well, it brings us to a number of different things.
	I got some international news we can get out of the way because nobody's reporting any of this.
	And this is my favorite clip in that regard.
	Okay.
	Do you know what's going on in the Congo War?
	No.
	Of course not.
	Why would you?
	Hold on a second.
	I gotta boost your volume.
	This is very low volume.
	For many living inside these tents, it's still too soon to go home.
	Despite the official start of a ceasefire between the Congolese army and the M23 rebels on Friday, at this camp north of Goma, the displaced still live in fear.
	The conflict in the east of the country has displaced some 200,000 people.
	According to the United Nations, the rebels have deliberately targeted civilians.
	We are afraid because they're in our houses and they can leave bombs behind to trap us with.
	Also, they stole everything.
	But the main thing is that we can go back.
	There's conflicting information on the ground when it comes to whether the recent ceasefire is being respected.
	It was signed at a regional summit in Angola with no M23 representatives present.
	The conflict between the movement and the Congolese army reignited last year after the rebels, predominantly Tutsi, accused the DRC of not respecting the 2013 peace agreement.
	So what does that mean?
	There's this March 23rd move at M23, and there was some peace agreement because they were fighting before, and these are Tootsies, troublemakers.
	And so they created a situation that's a problem.
	The United Nations report found that the Rwanda created and commended the M23 rebel group.
	Rwanda ceased its support following the intermediate pressure.
	So this is a typical mess in Africa.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Well, the Chinese take care of them.
	And 200,000 displaced people, you think that would be at least something to report on?
	I don't understand why you think that.
	I don't know, maybe I'm misled by my hope.
	No, no, no, because we have other things to talk about here at home.
	Investigators say the shooter had no criminal history, and the 9mm handgun he used was legally purchased just hours before he gunned down his co-workers.
	This, by the way, used to be known as, uh, called Going Postal.
	When you go and shoot up your... This is basically Going Postal.
	Which is a thing from the 70s, I think.
	Is that not a 70s reboot?
	I think going postal ended.
	Let me look at going postal.
	Yeah, you look at going postal.
	I think that ended around the 80s.
	Hours before he gunned down his co-workers.
	While he passed a required background check to buy the firearm, Virginia is not among the nine states in the District of Columbia with a waiting period after the purchase of a gun.
	The rationale behind waiting periods is that gun violence is often impulsive, and forcing a gun buyer to take a cooling-off period can reduce violence.
	Nope.
	In exit polls taken during the midterm election earlier this month, 56% of voters said they supported stricter gun control measures.
	Currently, gun laws in the U.S.
	vary state by state.
	California, for example, has a 10-day waiting period for somebody after they buy a gun.
	In 2016, CBS News was able to legally buy a firearm in Virginia and leave with it in about 38 minutes.
	So many chilling details.
	When was it, 80s?
	The going postal became a popular term in 1986.
	Oh, wow.
	Well, it didn't last that long, did it?
	No, it went on from 86, 89.
	I'm looking at the list of postal shootings.
	The first one was actually in 1970, but that never caught on.
	Then in Edmond, Oklahoma, 86.
	Escondido, 89.
	Ridgewood, New Jersey, 91.
	Royal Oak, Michigan.
	The term was really popular now.
	91.
	Two events in 93.
	Goleta, 2006.
	Baker City.
	2006 and then it kind of petered out in Dublin, Ohio, 2017.
	Those are all postal shootings.
	We just do not, we don't have a gun problem in the United States.
	We have a stress and pharmaceutical problem.
	But that's never investigated.
	They're not going to ever ask the question of what drugs were you on when you pulled this stunt.
	Even worse, they're going to take this handgun and turn it into something else.
	The recent mass shootings are causing President Biden to once again call for a ban on assault weapons saying he will try despite the odds.
	Today he and the first lady called the owners of Club Q in Colorado Springs where five people were killed over the weekend.
	They offered their condolences and then Can he address the press, specifically singling out weapons like the semi-automatic handgun used in Virginia?
	The semi-automatic handgun, which is 9mm, used in Virginia.
	He called that out specifically, but he turned it into a much bigger thing.
	The idea, the idea we still allow semi-automatic weapons to be purchased is sick.
	It's just sick.
	It has no, no social value.
	Zero.
	None.
	Not a single solitary rationale for it except proper for the gun manufacturer.
	The last federal assault weapon ban was signed into law by President Clinton and expired in 2004.
	I know.
	He thinks it's an assault gun.
	He doesn't know what a semi-automatic is from an automatic pistol.
	No, but he's talking about semi-automatic weapons.
	But, you know, it's like a revolver is a semi-automatic weapon.
	So just stop.
	Nobody ever calls it a semi-automatic, it's an automatic.
	Only Biden, only the President.
	Here's another, when I was a kid and we moved to the Netherlands on holidays We would call the grandparents.
	Or the grandparents would call us.
	By the way, I admire the fact that you're starting to use when I was a kid as a starting point.
	I might as well give in to it.
	You're a great role model for me.
	Go on, go ahead.
	We would call and it would cost about five bucks a minute.
	It was very expensive to call international.
	Yeah.
	And you'd call and be like, first of all, you hear this hiss.
	That was the line.
	I'd be like, hello?
	Hello?
	You hear yourself coming back a little bit.
	And when I saw this clip of the NBC Thanksgiving Day Parade with President Joe and Dr. Jill calling in, it reminded me of my grandparents on the international echoey line calling from space, no doubt.
	I think I'm getting a phone call.
	You know, I'm not one to take a phone call during TV.
	I think I should answer this one.
	Hello, Mr. President?
	I don't think I can hear you.
	Can you hear me, Mr. President?
	Hello?
	Happy Thanksgiving, Mr. President.
	Are you there?
	We're here.
	Oh!
	I was so worried this call wasn't going to go through.
	How are you?
	We're fine.
	We're fine.
	You're watching your parade.
	Exactly like my grandfather and grandmother.
	Hello!
	And we're going to the moon.
	Yeah.
	True.
	We're going to the moon, and you can't even make this call.
	Okay.
	But he can't make the call.
	It's him.
	It may just be him, yeah.
	He can't make the call.
	How do you make this thing work?
	He's got hairy legs!
	Yeah.
	I saw a weird article and I guess the now that Ronnie DeSantis is seeming like a viable choice for many people who think that they'll get away from the Banking system with him Or change something significantly now, they're going after him and this was you know, he was in he was a JAG officer a so-called JAG off
	And the story is that he was at Guantanamo, but he wasn't really in the courtroom.
	Quote, the height of inhumane treatment and systemic torture in the camp was during DeSantis' term serving as a JAG officer, whose main task was to identify the weaknesses of the detainees and to tighten the screws on them.
	And in addition, to keep a clean record, he made sure that human rights were violated to the worst degree.
	According to this article.
	Where did that article come from and who wrote it?
	Al-Mayadeen.
	Al-Mayadeen.
	Who wrote it?
	Some dude named Al-Mayadeen.
	It looks like an Al Jazeera type thing.
	I've never seen this outfit.
	Course not.
	It's a front.
	It's an op.
	It looks legit.
	Hold on a second.
	Who are these guys?
	What is this?
	It's got a like squiggly type thing.
	A-L-M-A-Y-A-D-E-E-N.
	It's gotta be... I don't know where it's from.
	Sorry, can't answer that.
	It doesn't matter.
	I'm just identifying what media is putting out there.
	Does it sound like it's true?
	I don't know, maybe.
	It might be true.
	And like Trump, this was great what happened with the... This was fantastic.
	You put it in the newsletter and I have the clip that just breaks it down.
	Tonight, we are getting a new window into former President Donald Trump's willingness to associate with highly controversial figures.
	Two days after he announced his 2024 run for- This is CNN, by the way.
	Dynamite.
	Dynamite.
	For the White House.
	Let's bring in CNN National Reporter Maeve Reston.
	Maeve, we have Trump- National reporter Mia Brestin.
	I don't know who she is.
	She sounds like she comes right off the set of TMZ.
	...run for the White House.
	Let's bring in CNN national reporter Maeve Restin.
	Maeve, we have Trump hosting rapper Kanye West, or Ye, at Mar-a-Lago down in Florida, as well as an outspoken Holocaust denier.
	What more do we know about this dinner?
	So this started bubbling up, Alex, on social media when Ye was posting about his meeting with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago this week.
	He was spotted in an airport, walking through an airport with Nick Fuentes, who, as you noted, is a Holocaust denier.
	He has been condemned by, you know, the Anti-Defamation League for anti-Semitic comments, his white nationalist rhetoric.
	So shoot him!
	But Kanye basically put up a video saying that the three of them had had dinner along with others at Mar-a-Lago and he claimed that Trump had been impressed.
	What kind of national reporter talks like this?
	With Fuentes.
	She talks like she's very unprofessional.
	She sounds like a high school kid.
	She looks like it too.
	That's why I said she's like a TMZ, you know, third string.
	Yeah, one of the women that's in the front there on TMZ.
	Claimed that Trump had been impressed with Fuentes.
	We saw the former president push back on this today on his Truth Social platform.
	And I'll just read you what he said.
	He said, this past week, Kanye West called me to have dinner at Mar-a-Lago.
	Shortly thereafter, he unexpectedly showed up with three of his friends, whom I knew nothing about.
	We had dinner on Tuesday evening with many members present on the back patio.
	The dinner was quick and uneventful.
	They then left for the airport.
	And Trump, just a short time ago, also posted again on Truth Social saying that essentially that there were no there was no anti-Semitism expressed at this dinner and adding that he didn't know Nick Fuentes.
	But of course, we have seen this pattern from the former president before when he is associated.
	with controversial figures.
	He tries to distance himself from them.
	And, of course, at the bottom of all of this, he's hosting Kanye West at Mar-a-Lago, his private club, someone who has recently been engulfed in controversy over his own anti-Semitic remarks.
	So it's pretty hard to imagine that the former president missed all of that, Alex.
	Ah, that guy.
	Bullcrap.
	Yeah.
	But you know, they're going to continue this forever.
	This Swintus character does seem to be a bit of a dick.
	I watched some of his podcasts.
	I mean, he's at the level... He's a podcaster.
	Oh, yeah.
	He's at the level of Christians versus the Jews and, you know, he's in the Old Testament world of hate.
	Oh, are you talking about Armageddon?
	No, he's not, it's not, not, no, no, no, not about Armageddon.
	It's historical.
	He's like, you know, and the Christians were persecuted, and it's the Jews who did it.
	Yeah, where the Christians had to pay a fee to be in some certain... Yeah, what I haven't heard is the Holocaust denial, but you know these guys like, well, I questioned the six million.
	Okay.
	So, that seems to be all that his content is, by the way.
	Somewhat.
	But for Kanye, you know, Kanye is walking around with his Ye 24 garb.
	I mean, if he, why would he bring this guy over?
	If he did.
	I don't know if he did.
	I have no idea.
	We don't know.
	Obviously, the reporting stinks.
	Yeah, well, yes, that was a really bad report.
	Well, I want to do one more international thing because there's a question involved here.
	Did you know that Kenya was in four years of drought?
	No.
	In their fourth year of drought, kind of like California.
	I did not.
	So you're the one that has the weather machine and the harp, you can do these things, you can make a drought.
	Why would anyone, do you think anyone could benefit from, this is a loaded question, obviously.
	Anyone could benefit from four years of drought?
	Let me see.
	Now, what I would typically do with a question like this is I want to go look at the map just to refresh my memory.
	Just so I know what we're talking about here.
	From the location?
	From the location?
	Yeah.
	Could it be...
	Well, let's just listen to your clip.
	Now it's been hailed as a down payment on climate justice.
	Nearly 200 nations agreed to set up a new loss and damage fund.
	There's many African nations already adapting to the consequences.
	Are you playing the cop 23 money African?
	I'm playing Kenya drought benefits.
	Oh, okay.
	Is that not what you want me to play?
	No, that's what I want you to play, but I don't remember it starting that way.
	When I was a kid, we just started the clips.
	Now it's been hailed as a down payment on climate justice.
	Nearly 200 nations agreed to set up a new loss and damage fund.
	Many African nations are already adapting to the consequences of climate change.
	None more so than in the Horn of Africa, which has seen a run of four failed rainy seasons.
	That's pushed Kenya to lift a decades-old ban on genetically modified crops.
	The move was championed by the government as a solution to an impending food crisis, but it's been slammed by consumer groups and organic farmers who worry it will have adverse effects on the economy.
	France 24's Lauren Bashdecker has the story.
	Faced with its worst drought in 40 years, Kenya is banking on genetically modified crops to combat food insecurity.
	What could possibly go wrong?
	The country recently lifted a 10-year ban on GMO imports and production, and is now conducting trials for a variety of maize that requires a lot less water to grow.
	This maize is able to give at least a harvest, even in times of high water stress, when there is no rain.
	And also it has the ability to more or less reselect.
	But this potential solution to failing harvests also has its share of critics.
	Several consumer rights and biodiversity groups have condemned the lifting of the ban, arguing that such a critical decision should have been put to a public consultation.
	The move is also unpopular among organic farmers like Esther Cagay, who says she's been able to keep her harvests healthy using indigenous seeds and low-tech irrigation techniques.
	I think what we are lacking in our country is water.
	Look at the people who have enough water.
	With good seeds, not GMO seeds.
	They are doing well.
	They are not hungry.
	Wow.
	I feel very sorry for them.
	Once you get those GMO, once you get the Monsanto seeds in there... You're done.
	You're done.
	You're beholden to them.
	You think that... Well, it's corruption.
	It's just corruption.
	It's totally corruption.
	It's so easy to corrupt in these areas.
	The Chinese know that.
	They're moving in.
	I do have, since we're talking about Africa, I do have one clip of COP 23, which was in Ethiopia, Northern Africa, and some opinions about who should be paying everybody.
	And it's like, it sounds like this whole thing was a joke.
	Yeah.
	Is this, this is an old clip then, this COP 23?
	No, whatever the recent cop was.
	But there are many details yet to be worked out.
	But the cop, no, the recent cop was Egypt.
	It wasn't where you just said it was.
	What did I say?
	You said something, but you didn't say Egypt.
	Well, it's Egypt, Northern Africa.
	But there are many details yet to be worked out, including who will pay into the fund and who will benefit from it.
	So that means many of the most vulnerable countries in Africa will have to wait first.
	Okay, I haven't heard this clip.
	So they need the GMO seeds, they need some help.
	Is this money now going to go to Kenya, but really going to Monsanto for the GMO setup?
	They never say that.
	Well, no, they wouldn't say that.
	Probably.
	I don't think they would give that away.
	They'll be kind of giving away the store.
	For the money to materialize.
	Joko Morige Okereke, director of the African Center for Climate Change and Development, told us what else to expect in the lead up to the next climate conference.
	There are several potential landmines and obstacles that we can expect between now and COP28.
	First of all, how do you define vulnerable countries?
	The EU has stated clearly that they are making this commitment on the basis that the money will only go to vulnerable countries.
	But how to operationalize?
	How to define?
	Who is vulnerable country is something that you have to watch to see how it plays out.
	Secondly, there is also an understanding that we are not living in a world of 1992.
	And so we cannot continue to divide the whole world into two blocks of rich and poor countries.
	We have some countries like Qatar, like UAE, like Saudi Arabia, like China.
	I think it makes perfect sense to expect them to make some contribution to this loss and damage fund.
	But of course, these countries continue to push back, expecting the industrialized countries to be the one that will carry the burden.
	So you can expect a lot of diplomacy between now and the next COP to see who actually should be able to make contribution.
	And finally, where would this money come from?
	We have said that there will be two kind of sources of funding, some innovative funding and some established money.
	Poor countries will be very, very keen to ensure that what is happening here is not mainly shifting money from adaptation onto loss and damage, because that will be unacceptable.
	We must make sure that this is new money and that also that the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank are reformed so that we can unlock even more trillions of dollars to flow into climate mitigation, adaptation and loss and damage.
	Yeah, there's the reform that we talked about, that the International Monetary Fund was going to reform, which means they just said, oh, we've got more SDRs for you to use.
	However that works.
	We'll send you some paper.
	Wait, when he says 1992, what exactly is 1992?
	What is the significance of that?
	Well, he said, I don't know what this is stemming from, but he claimed or said that 1992 was an era when the world was divided into rich and poor countries.
	Well, 1992 was the South African apartheid referendum, but I don't think that applied to this guy.
	No, I'm not sure why the specific of 1992 was mentioned.
	Hmm.
	Farm Aid.
	That was here, sorry.
	Wait, what was USA for Africa?
	When was that?
	That was early, it was 80s.
	I don't know.
	Well, Africa has always been screwed and it's not getting any better.
	But maybe they'll like the Chinese better.
	Well, they did one thing for sure.
	They didn't get a lot of vaccine shots, and it turns out that the COVID's almost completely gone from all of Africa.
	Maybe that's why we don't do anything in Africa.
	They're troublemakers.
	and troublemakers. - Some lawsuit from the voting situation is still kind of falling apart in California, of all places.
	In California?
	Well, there's a big lawsuit that's going on.
	It seems to be going forward.
	We've already known that California is as corrupt as it comes when it comes to these mail-in ballots and the rest of it.
	And this started about, I don't know, it was within the earshot of the show era, maybe five, six years ago or longer when Riverside County, which is almost 100% Republican, voted in some Democrat out of the blue.
	Remember that?
	And everyone goes, well, whatever.
	You know, times change.
	Because the media downplayed it.
	That helped.
	But now, play this clip.
	It's E-I-P-C.
	California.
	Oops, sorry.
	The Election Integrity Project, California, or EIPCA, in 13 counties alleged that the state has weakened or removed integrity from the election process.
	They cite California's system of vote-by-mail ballots, ballot harvesting, reduced voting facilities for in-person voting, and the extended time allowed to count votes.
	The organization says these practices water down the value of lawfully cast ballots.
	The lawsuit is against California Secretary of State Shirley Weber, Governor Gavin Newsom, and Attorney General Rob Bonta, as well as the registrars of voters in the 13 counties including Los Angeles, Orange, and Riverside.
	The U.S.
	Constitution gives state legislators the authority to manage elections and process ballots.
	But the federal appeals court ruled that the case can move forward, meaning California's practices may be violating the Constitution in other ways.
	The suit alleges that over the last decade, California has passed laws and regulations that have led to massive irregularities.
	It states that this culminated in the 2020 election when Governor Newsom authorized mailing a ballot to all active registrants on the voter rolls and signature verification requirements were also gutted.
	EIPCA received over 700 affidavits signed from trained observers.
	They consistently reported election workers not adequately verifying signatures and in some cases counting ballots without signatures.
	In the next step, both sides will share information with each other to prepare for trial.
	And the plaintiffs can look into the scope of the irregularities.
	That means they can ask questions and actually audit the counties and the ballots.
	If the case is successful, California will be required to enforce secure and uniform vote casting and vote counting procedures.
	It could also set a precedent for legal challenges in other states.
	This was, so this is, there's no news report on this.
	Oh, of course not.
	Is this NTD again?
	Is this where we have to get everything now?
	I'm sorry.
	No wonder.
	I feel bad about it.
	But now you're reporting news.
	We're supposed to be deconstructing stupid shit.
	Well I'm just, I can deconstruct this by saying, how come we're not getting this on the mainstream?
	I'm gonna show my school by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.

	Sonya, we have titles.
	These are official titles.
	These are real titles.
	You can be a knight or dame of the No Agenda Roundtable.
	And it's interesting, I kept seeing stories pop up over the past week or so about these Scottish Lord or Lady titles.
	Did you see any of these stories floating around?
	Not out here, no.
	Well, what it turns out what it was, there's this company called Established Titles.
	And they were spending lots of money on Instagrammers, YouTubers, anybody who would promote their product.
	And their product is, you purchase a title, Lord or Lady, and it's a Scottish title.
	And it was very popular.
	Until it turned out that they're completely bogus and phony.
	So I want to welcome everybody who wants a real title.
	And the content creators out there, you know, you should have known better.
	You should consider your own knighthoods and damehoods, not take some cheap facsimile.
	Only the No Agenda Show gives you the real deal.
	And we appreciate everybody who has supported us, including those under $50 for reasons of anonymity, or you're on one of our fabulous subscriptions.

	It is something you must at least do once, and I guarantee you it's like, it's like Lay's potato chips.
	Can't just go to one.
	You'll want to visit them all.
	noagendameetups.com.
	If you can't find one near you, start one yourself.
	Sometimes you wanna go hang out with all the nights and days.
	You wanna be where you won't be.
	Triggered on hell's flame.
	You wanna be where everybody feels the same.
	It's like a party.
	Just like a party.
	I have two.
	How many ISOs you got?
	Only two.
	Only two.
	Uh, I got one and I listened to it, and I don't like it.
	Should we play yours first, then?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Wait, your, your, um, I don't know, your volume's a little lower than normal?
	Is that... I don't know why.
	Okay, well, undo that.
	We hope that it will have an impact.
	Wait, let me see.
	We hope to have an impact.
	Yeah, I couldn't understand it.
	Mine aren't much better, by the way.
	Say... Cheesecake!
	Kind of.
	That's all.
	Huh?
	And it's the only one I have.
	That's all bullshit.
	You keep talking over it.
	That's all bullshit.
	Is that one?
	No.
	I like the cheesecake one.
	Say... Cheesecake!
	Okay, we'll keep cheesecake.
	It's dumb.
	It's very dumb.
	Kind of par for the show.
	But I like it.
	I do have... I do have... There you go, I did it.
	You do have... I did it.
	I caught myself.
	Yeah, so you caught yourself, but I... The problem is, I didn't catch it.
	That's right.
	I have a clip of a newly invigorated and bold Eyepatch McCain.
	Which is the name that Alex Stein 99 gave to Dan Crenshaw, the so-called conservative A Republican representative in Texas who wanted a vaccine database.
	What else did he want?
	He wanted all kinds of- He's a terrible guy.
	Yeah, all kinds.
	Yeah, very terrible guy, actually.
	And so he's at the border now and he's got a big mouth.
	And he speaks pretty good Spanish.
	There have been four million encounters at the border since Biden took office.
	He doesn't care.
	Across the river sits some of the most capable, best equipped, best funded, and most ruthless and dangerous organizations in the world.
	The cartels.
	See, this is more than an immigration crisis.
	It's a national security crisis.
	And they facilitate this crisis, and worse than that, they flood our country with deadly fentanyl that kills nearly 80,000 Americans a year.
	They're at war with us, and we do nothing.
	Last week I introduced legislation to declare war on the cartels, to give the government the tools needed to go after them and hunt them down, and sanction anyone who aids and abets them.
	They don't fear us, and that needs to change.
	I actually want to give the cartels and their leaders a very direct message in a way that they might understand.
	And he calls out cartel dudes by name.
	He's literally saying, your vacation is over.
	No restaurants for you.
	We'll take your money and your mansions.
	He's literally saying, your vacation is over.
	No restaurants for you.
	We're going to take your money and your mansions.
	And your liberty.
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	Anyway, he goes on.
	He's calling him out.
	That's pretty good.
	I admire that.
	Yeah, but he does have this, you know, all of a sudden, like, oh, now he's a big man on campus.
	Oh, yes, now I'm real important.
	I gotta take a look at that legislation.
	Do you have anything else you want to end it for today?
	I don't think anything's gonna top that.
	I do have a thing from TikTok that's dumb.
	Anything's gonna top Dan Crenshaw speaking Spanish?
	I know, it's tough to top.
	It's a tough act to follow.
	So I think we're good.
	Thursday we will have the best of the 2022 end of show mixes.
	It is an anthology, a chronological anthology, historical document of epic proportions in advance thanks to the 135 different tracks that were produced by No Agenda Producers that make that up, put it all together.
	And hopefully I will be back on Sunday to speak.
	One week.
	If not, you'll know in a timely fashion and we will probably give you the best of Clip of the Day show.
	Yeah, that's coming.
	I really hope to be here, though.
	Coming to you from the... John's like, I don't want another day off!
	Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, FEMA Region No.
	6, in the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're all looking forward to whatever they're going to throw at us, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	And we will be back with the best of end of show mixes on Thursday and hopefully back on Sunday.
	Until next time, adios mofos.
	And such.
	And hooey hooey.
	Tonight, the flu is already hitting hard.
	Tonight, COVID is raising its ugly head again ahead of a possible winter wave.
	Tonight, hospitals from Texas to Connecticut are sounding the alarm.
	Their emergency rooms are filling up with RSV patients.
	All right, we've been telling you about RSV for weeks, and this morning, Pfizer is reporting that its new RSV vaccine can protect newborns if it's given to pregnant women.
	The CDC reminding some parents tonight with children younger than nine that in recent years, they've been recommending two flu shots for children.
	At the White House today, health officials said COVID shots will likely become a once-a-year vaccination.
	Experts are urging Americans ahead of the holidays and those hugs with loved ones to get that COVID booster and the flu shot now so you can start building protection.
	Get that hug in.
	Get that hug in.
	We were having the lowest flu seasons on record.
	Health experts say this flu season could be one of the worst in recent years.
	We've seen low levels of influenza over the past two, mainly due to behavioral changes during the pandemic.
	When you now open up in society, people now maybe are under vaccinated.
	Not everybody's wearing a mask.
	The combination of influenza, COVID, and RSV prompted LA County's medical director to warn that we could see a return of the mask man.
	You can decide to trust America's physicians, or you can trust some random dude on Twitter.
	When you have the seasons of very low flu, which got kind of bumped off the table.
	We'll see you next time.
	I do believe in forgiveness, but not in crypto and finance.
	This is not Jordan and Netflix, cause Mt.
	Gox was first and this will not be the last dance.
	Get your money off exchanges for now, not financial advice.
	But let's not all have a cow.
	I mean, it's not your crypto if you don't have the keys.
	After the smoke clears, Bitcoin is still the bee's knees.
	Privatize the profits and socialize the losses.
	Government regulation wants to oversee the markets, while the SEC and Dirty Ellen and Gary G are like Tony and Mona playing who's the bosses.
	How'd they do it?
	He was in deep with donors, buying favor with no real money, treating people like omers.
	FDX could see the clients trading stop losses, funnel the money in classic Ponzi scheme with oh so many double crosses.
	Joe Pesci looking kid, put him in front of Congress.
	I hope he goes to jail, I hope he does a bid.
	Never trust a kid who says he wants to get rich just to give away.
	All of his money.
	Somethin' bout the bankman that makes the story funny.
	Plus his second-leaning daughter to the Democrats.
	Behind George Soros, I think I smell a demon rat.
	Look at the meme.

	Looks like it's finally time.
	Months after announcing that I'm leaving in December, I'm officially announcing I'm leaving in December.
	It's 54 years now I've been living off your money.
	I started at the NIH, dominated the NIAID, And became a celebrity in the 80s during HIV, selling AZT to the LGB.
	Now I'm marketing mRNA for COVID.
	I'm the GOAT.
	But Dr. Rand Paul and the MAGA Republicans want to investigate me for this, that, and the other.
	Like so-called gain-of-function research, which actually saves lives by making viruses more deadly.
	Don't ask how.
	Also, the Lab Week Conspiracy Theory.
	Just because I paid China to make deadlier viruses in Wuhan, and the pandemic started in Wuhan, doesn't make it my fault.
	Then there's the masks, the lockdowns, and the mandates.
	I didn't force anything on anyone, okay?
	And if I did, there was no downside whatsoever.

	The best podcast in the universe!
