This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1525.
This is no agenda.
Dropping the hammer and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in Field Region No.
6 in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're all saying the same thing, go Niners!
I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill in the morning!
Wait a minute.
Is it Super Bowl time?
It's the National Football Championship game today.
Oh, okay.
So we are, just so I know, is it the Philadelphia Eagles?
Are they one of the teams who will be playing in the Super Bowl?
No, the Super Bowl has yet to be determined.
Oh, okay.
Well, give me the lowdown.
These two championship games, these two champions, these champions of champions, they go play each other in the Super Bowl.
Oh, okay.
So the way it's supposed to be, you have two separate leagues.
So who's playing who?
And then who, what are the four teams left?
Kansas City is playing Cincinnati.
Okay.
In Kansas City.
And then Philadelphia is playing San Francisco in San Francisco.
I'm sorry.
In Philadelphia.
Yeah.
And that game starts at noon.
It starts shortly.
And I will be doing the show instead of watching the game.
That's how dedicated I am to no agenda.
Oh wow, we really appreciate it.
I know it's already hard to rip yourself away from sumo wrestling.
Sumo tournament's over.
The last tournament, which was the January tournament, was terrible.
Now, since I know nothing about sports, I get to ask things.
The question is why?
Why do you care?
I care because I always want to look at this from a sociodemographic angle to see if I can determine a winner.
And since I know nothing, it's probably a good way for me to jump in here.
So we have San Francisco, we have Philadelphia, we have Ohio, no, who?
Kansas City?
Cincinnati, Ohio, Kansas City.
Okay, Kansas City.
I would say of all of those, the one that has to win, and even they may not even have a chance, would be Philadelphia.
Well, they all have a chance, and Philadelphia's probably the best team of the group.
Yeah, the reason- So they have a chance.
The reason I say it is the city deserves some reward for rigging the elections.
Don't you think San Francisco deserves the award for having more homeless than anybody else?
Oh, tough one, tough.
Tough call here, John.
I don't know what to do.
Hmm.
All right.
Let's just talk about sports and let's keep on going because I have a sports clip right off the top.
I was not even expecting to do it.
This is a little bit of commentary from football in the United Kingdom.
You will hear a discussion by the sportscasters regarding FC Reading's kit.
Kit.
And in the UK, kit is analogous to their uniform.
So let's listen in.
You may have noticed the kaleidoscope of colour on the Reading kit.
Reading being proactive in highlighting climate change.
The kit this year includes what they call the climate stripes, designed by Ed Hawkins, who is the Professor of Climate Science at the University of Reading.
Each of the stripes represents the average temperature for a single year relative to the average temperature from 1850 all the way down to 2022.
You may notice that the shades of blue at the top indicate cooler than average temperatures, while red towards the bottom, which is towards 2022, is where the years get hotter than average.
Whoo!
Climate stripes!
Beautiful.
Unbelievable.
Well, I got a climate clip.
Okay, good.
We're on to climate change.
It'll be fun to start off with.
Well, I don't have a lot of climate.
I do have this one.
This is the climate extinction rebellion going on in Holland.
Hundreds of climate activists blocked one of the main roads into the Hague today, defying attempts to prevent that protest.
And that has sparked concerns about restrictions on the right to demonstrate in the Netherlands.
Many of the protesters waved colored flags with the symbol of environmental group Extinction Rebellion.
Protesters who ignored police orders to leave the road were picked up and carried to waiting buses and driven away.
It's unclear how many people may have been detained.
Earlier this week, six Extinction Rebellion activists were detained by authorities on suspicion of sedition linked to calls to stage that protest.
Oh, okay.
Well, I'm gonna have to top you now.
I have, uh, this very short ditty from Jane Fonda, who doesn't know her, who has not loved her in the past.
Although, you know, Hanoi Jane was not very popular, but, you know, we all saw Barbarella, at least I did.
I've always wanted to really like Jane Fonda.
It's becoming increasingly difficult.
You can take anything, sexism, racism, misogyny, homophobia, whatever, the war, and if you really get into it, and study it, and learn about it, and the history of it, and the... Everything's connected.
There'd be no climate crisis if it wasn't for racism.
I mean, come on.
I mean...
Wow.
Okay.
No.
I, you know... No.
No.
Really?
Oh, come on, man.
Come on.
Yeah, plie, you might as well take it.
Oh, thank you.
Clip of the day.
Thank you.
Woo!
Yeah!
You knew it was a good clip.
I didn't, you know, only when I heard it just now did I know it was, it was worthy, but I would have accepted a borderline.
Honestly, I would have taken a borderline from you.
It was too funny because it's so, I think I'm trying to, now you have to think, let's take a moment and deconstruct what clip of the day amounts to.
Okay.
For one thing, it's always a surprise to the other person who's anointing the clip of the day, either you or me.
Yeah, it's an anointing.
And it's always idiotic and stupid at some level that's incomprehensible.
Yeah, it's true.
I really don't... I mean, she also said war.
I mean, the war.
Everything.
Everything is racism.
Everything is racism.
Ah, dear Jane.
She looks dynamite still, though.
I can't help myself.
Yeah, she's got so many facelifts.
You know, they've taken so much off of her with these facelifts and the rest that they have a second Jane Fonda in a closet.
That's right.
I thought that they had, you know, they tightened it all up.
I don't know if there's any jingons.
They've also, uh, well you don't tighten it up with a chunk and something off.
They also, you know, she had a couple ribs removed so she could maintain her figure.
Is that true?
Yeah, I believe it is true.
I think other women have done it.
I think Dolly Parton had that done, too.
Really?
I mean, I heard that, uh, what's his name did it, uh, who was the guy, the singer, uh, Marilyn Manson.
That was a rumor a long time that he had had rib removed so he could perform self fellatio.
That was a really funny one.
I would say that's more of a back, uh, uh, uh, flexibility thing, but okay.
I'm, I don't know, I'm just saying.
Uh, since we're on climate change really briefly, yeah, uh, I was duped.
Discussed this article that said Microsoft was going to start shutting down your Xbox to combat climate change and This is why we have the best producers in the universe.
It's like okay the Xbox's came out and said excuse me What is going on is there will be a sleep mode always, or power on, power off.
So if you stop playing, it will power down instead of staying on.
Which is also annoying, I might point out.
I mean, I don't know what happens if you can restore... Well, you can adjust that, can't you?
That's the part I'm not sure of.
So maybe people would give me a little more details.
A little more details on that would be appreciated.
Well, they just wanted to call you out as a doofus.
No, no, they were actually quite nice.
It was okay.
I was into it.
It's fine.
Well, I also made an error.
I put a, it wasn't really written up in the newsletter, but there was a, I think it was a screenshot of an article about 17 million acres, quite a bit, of Ukrainian land being bought by Cargill and Monsanto.
I had a comment under the clippings saying maybe this is why we're sending the tanks to protect these guys.
It turns out that the Australian report where that came from, it was 1.7 and someone in the newsroom Newsroom?
We have a newsroom?
No, in the newsroom in Australia.
Uh-huh.
Oh, screwed it up?
Screwed it up.
And then, as somebody pointed out this morning on a tweet, they fixed it, but then they left the old headline up anyway.
So it's still got the wrong headline.
So there's a conflation here?
There's one other thing that... I mean, I was not able to review the newsletter before it went out, so... And I probably would not have caught this anyway.
Cargill, Monsanto, etc.
They didn't actually buy that land.
There was a deregulation, so all of the small farms or small companies that owned parcels of that land could sell up to, I think, 35% of it or 35% ownership.
Now, it doesn't mean that those big companies aren't using all of the land, but they don't technically own all of it.
And now I'm thinking maybe that's where the discrepancy in acreage comes from.
That they own a smaller percentage, but they may be using all of it.
It remains to be seen.
But you know they're involved.
Of course they're involved!
If douchebaggery is in play, then we have these companies.
You know where to look.
Monsanto, Cargill, and Dow, I think was the other one.
I think this story, which is very odd.
Very odd.
Let me see, do I have the... Let me see, I thought I had the full one.
Hold on a second.
This is... Wow, what happened?
I thought I had that full clip.
There was a... You know, Australia apparently lost a capsule of nuclear material.
Yeah, I actually was going to almost get a clip from this story, but yeah.
I thought I had the setup clip.
I'm not sure what happened.
Let me see.
How did that...
Somehow, yeah, it was kind of good because it had a... I'm pissed about that.
It's a little small capsule, smaller than a coin.
Yeah, that's the part that I wanted to play.
But it's deadly.
Well, this is what I wanted to play.
I wanted to play this.
The capsule appears to have been lost during transportation between mine sites north of Newman and northeast, or in northeastern parts of Perth.
It's very small.
It's around about six millimeters in diameter and eight millimeters high.
Now, I'm going to put this under climate change, because for me, this is fear of nuclear material, even though we don't know exactly what's in it.
Man, I cannot believe that I lost that setup clip.
I'm irked about that, because they were saying, oh, you know, it was lost along a line of 1,400 kilometers, and typically we take care of it in a much better fashion, so I'm not sure how this happened.
And it kind of leads you to think that, oh, my God, it's all a mess.
You know, this is what could happen with any kind of nuclear material!
Uh, yeah.
That's a good point.
You might be right.
But my point is shut without that clip.
They showed movies of these guys scouring, you know, walking along the road, thinking it fell out of the truck and rolled around.
Yeah.
And now they say, well, it looks like it may never be found.
But they're going to bring out some, I forgot what these things are called, but there's a radiation detection device.
Oh, a Geiger counter.
No.
I got one.
I have a Geiger counter.
I have a Geiger counter too.
No, it's called a sporinthoscope or something like that.
It's a thing that sees radiation from a long distance.
I think even satellites have them.
That's how long a distance you can spot the hot spots.
Oh, this is kind of cool.
And they can get one of these things and they can comb the area and maybe find it.
There's the same devices that are used, I think, at cargo container places like the Oakland and places like that to make sure that a ship's not coming in with a bomb.
Well, this thing is smaller than a dime, yeah.
It's like, okay, we're gonna find that.
Oh, you won't.
We're all gonna die.
And, you know, right on cue, we have... But this is radioactive, as they say.
They can find it with this device.
Exactly!
Thank you!
That's what I'm so surprised... If either... I mean, this little thing is... This is straight out of some kind of... This is... Predictive programming makes you feel like... It's like a kangaroo ate it and then jumped off into the middle of nowhere.
This is somehow... It's predictive programming.
It's a mix between Broken Arrow, where we've lost the nuke, Because it's kind of in Australia, you've got this desert vibe.
Yeah, right.
Outback, Outback.
Yeah, Outback.
It also gets a plug for the steakhouse.
It's a good deal, always a good deal.
And then the World Health Organization right on cue comes out with, oh, you know, we need to have all kinds of mandatory medications and anti-nuclear and radiation stuff.
No, I think you're right.
I think this is just a propaganda stunt.
It sure feels like it.
I mean, they may have lost the core, whatever this device, this little thing, they may have actually lost it, but they're using it now to leverage the propaganda.
So, World Health Organization updates critical medicines list for radiological and nuclear emergencies.
And this means we need to stockpile.
These stockpiles include medicines that either prevent or reduce exposure to radiation or treat injuries once exposed.
Yeah, radiation bad, planes good.
So, what do we need?
Iodine?
Is that the, is this going to be a bonanza for iodine salespeople?
Iodine, you need some iodine.
I'm looking at you, AJ!
Well, yes, you know, iodine supplements, as well as iodized salt, probably, would be good enough.
But it's bullcrap.
What do you mean?
You mean the story's bullcrap?
No, it's bullcrap that everyone should be loading up on iodine with this little pill out there somewhere in the middle of nowhere as if it's going to do anything.
Unless you walked up to it and fiddled with it.
There's also the looming nuclear war between the East and the West with Putin.
So that brings me to a screwy clip, which is similar in so far as it seems to be a mode, you know, anything you do, let's bring in some way of dropping in some propaganda, and in this case, for purposeful reasons, and see if you can figure this one out.
Now, we had Holocaust Week, and there was a lot of Holocaust information.
Oh, wait a minute.
Holocaust only gets a weekend?
No, it got a day.
The other day.
It's a holocaust day.
That's not enough.
I mean, that sounds insulting.
Well, no, they should, especially when you have other things that are, like, uh, less important, but...
They had this Holly Hufnagel on, uh, on... Holly Hufnagel Holocaust.
Okay.
Yeah.
Feeling good.
She was on PBS.
She's, she's kind of striking.
She's a, uh, uh, attractive blonde and she, and like bleached, bleached blonde.
So it just was a contrast on anything you've ever seen on PBS.
And so she's there, you know, uh, uh, batting her eyes and doing what she, doing what she does, giving her little Holocaust talk.
And she throws in a little zinger in here, which I dispute, which I think is part of a propaganda.
Hold on, hold on, hold on a second.
I'm just looking at her.
How would you describe her?
She had bleached blonde hair, really super bleached.
Okay, okay.
Like white.
Yeah, I see.
Oh, I see it now.
Yes.
She's got to be late 40s, I think.
I don't know.
She doesn't look old.
No.
Let's put it this way.
I don't know what those photos show because I haven't looked at her pictures, but she's extremely telegenic.
She's a better version of Marie Harf.
Oh, well, yes.
With the glasses.
With her glasses.
She has glasses.
She wears glasses.
Yes, she didn't have glasses on either.
Oh, okay.
Oh, she's wearing glasses.
Switched to the lenses.
Good for her.
She had her lenses on.
She was batting her eyes.
She was telling it like it is, but there was a little piece of propaganda in here, which I think was disgusting.
Here we go.
Holocaust Week.
What do you think accounts for this knowledge or lack of knowledge about the Holocaust that the survey found?
I think there's a few unfortunate issues, right, that we're working with right now and Holocaust knowledge questions are being asked.
By many different communities around the world.
In fact, the Claims Conference just came out with one on the Netherlands this week, showing just how many people... The Netherlands again.
Hmm.
If it's not Extinction Rebellion, then it's Holocaust Week.
Interesting.
The Netherlands in play.
In play.
By many different communities around the world.
In fact, the Claims Conference just came out with one on the Netherlands this week, showing just how many people in the Netherlands, young people, think the Holocaust is a myth.
And so what we're up against is, one, the passage of time.
So today marks the 78th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz in Nazi-occupied Poland.
So time is working against us and many of the survivors were probably only within the next decade will have actual eyewitnesses to that atrocity with us.
The second thing is, there are more genocides and more atrocities that have happened since the Holocaust.
Unfortunately, never again.
It has been again, and again.
And some people might not connect the reality of needing to learn those lessons from the Holocaust, needing to know that Hitler was democratically brought to power.
I call bullshit.
And how that can apply today.
First response!
I'm really, I'd like to see the statistic where they got this from, that the Netherlands, that the young people don't believe in the Holocaust.
I'd really like to see that statistic.
And secondly, yeah, never again, you bet.
I mean, that's why everyone was so pissed off about the COVID lockdowns and curfews and othering.
If that's what she's talking about, okay, but I don't think it is.
Well, what got me was the little subtle, Hitler was brought to power by democratic action.
When if you look into the history of Hitler and how he got to power by first being assigned the chancellorship by Hindenburg and then worming his way into a dictatorship, he never really was elected per se.
And it was not democratic by any means.
It was conniving.
It was just an operator.
Now, why would you say that?
This was a Trump thing.
This was aimed at Trump.
He was just another Democrat.
They voted him in.
Oh, of course.
Oh, yes, of course.
And this could happen here!
And it was like, first he voted him in, and this could happen here is what she said, basically.
Yeah, which definitely lives amongst American Jews, friends of ours, very afraid.
Oh, if Trump gets elected ever again, then I'll have to move.
And the best thing is they want to move to the UK, which is hilarious.
Yeah, it's great over there.
It is funny.
It's great over there.
Well, this, okay, this interesting... I didn't know it was Holocaust Week, Holocaust Remembrance Day, the liberation of Auschwitz, but...
Probably not a coincidence, here's a France 24 Israel update.
A father crying as his child is laid to rest.
Comforted by relatives around him, his son and daughter-in-law are buried in the city of Beit Shemesh.
Both are victims of Friday's attack in East Jerusalem, the deadliest such assault on Israelis in over a decade.
Attacks that led to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowing a quick response.
Our response will be strong, swift and precise.
Whoever tries to harm us, we will harm them and everyone who assists them.
Netanyahu also announced an expediation process for the licensing of weapons for civilians, calling it a necessary step in the fight against terrorism.
Seventy kilometers away in Tel Aviv, Thousands took to the streets for the fourth week in a row, protesting against the government's judicial reform plans.
Plans that would give politicians more control over the Supreme Court.
For many of those protesting, a violent Israeli response to the latest attacks is not the answer.
The attacks we're suffering from are a result of the occupation.
We need to put an end to it.
We need to stop the occupation and build a much better democracy here.
We have the capabilities to do it.
It's a shame we haven't done it before.
Maybe this time it'll work.
I think that especially because of the attacks, we need to come here today, stand together and show that violence is not the solution, that dictatorship isn't the solution.
On the Palestinian side, there has been no condemnation of the attacks.
A spokesman for the rooting Hamas militant group called them a natural response to the Israeli raid on Thursday, which killed nine Palestinians.
The office of Mahmoud Abbas, president of the Palestinian Authority, insisted that Israel was fully responsible for the dangerous escalation.
All right, now I'm going to make a connection between this and Tyree Nichols, which we have to talk about because I was getting emails from producers in Memphis saying, uh, don't tell me this is going to kick off here.
Are we going to have another Black Lives Matter situation?
We have a martyr just like, um, Yeah, why can't George Floyd?
And that will then kick off, you know, it kicked off a huge, like, months of unrest in the United States in 2020.
So much so that even the peaceful protesters could come out and do whatever they wanted.
And didn't have to adhere to COVID regulations.
And the reason why I can tie this together is because I went down a rabbit... I woke up at three and it was bothering me.
It was bothering me.
When Sharpton is going, that's like, okay, first of all, that's flag one.
Big flag, big flag, big trigger.
Then, as we're trained to do here at the No Agenda Show, I see professionally printed signs.
Okay, so now I'm gonna play, do you have any clips about this?
This is just for background, so it's... No, I'm gonna switch, when you're done, I'm gonna switch over to Pelosi.
Oh, perfect.
So here is, here's a little rundown from CBS Evening News.
Disturbing and horrifying video of the Memphis police beating of Tyree Nichols was just made public.
The city waited until this evening to release four different videos after schools were out and people were home from work.
All this comes as five officers have been charged with second-degree murder and kidnapping in the death of the 29-year-old father, FedEx worker, and avid photographer.
The incident is being compared to the vicious beating of Rodney King Always pay attention to how you've seen the picture, you know, in a vest and a shirt and tie.
I mean, this is all trauma-based programming.
I actually do have two clips which will back you up.
Okay, so we'll go back here.
The incident is being compared to the vicious beating of Rodney King by Los Angeles police in 1991.
Demonstrations are already underway in the city of Memphis and in cities across the country as security is tight with police departments on alert.
President Biden spoke with Tyree Nichols' mother this afternoon to express his condolences.
Tonight he told reporters he is concerned about the potential for violence.
We have team coverage tonight from Memphis starting with CBS's Elise Preston.
Elise, good evening.
Good evening to you, Major.
The beating has been described as heinous and inhumane.
The family of Tyree Nichols says his 6'3", 150 pounds frame was terrorized in this assault.
We have to warn you, some of these images are very disturbing.
Wow, 6'3", I didn't even realize.
6'3", 150 pounds.
I mean, he's a stick!
Or he was a stick.
I mean, I'm 6'3", 180, 185.
Or 6'5", I am.
I'm a little taller.
Anyway, doesn't matter, because as sad as this is, and I've talked to my cop buddies, law enforcement, and they say, well, this is exactly what you get when no one wants to work for law enforcement anymore, because if anything goes wrong, you're not backed up.
And by your police chief, by the city, you know, you can go to jail.
It's, you know, it's a very risky business to be in.
And above everything, these are low IQ individuals on the police forces who do this and they're very young and they just don't have the training.
Why do I say low IQ?
Because that's what they're telling me.
No one in their right mind does this job anymore.
You're hated.
You have no, I mean, you might as well just, It's kind of like almost the last thing you want to do now.
That's how bad it is.
And this will ultimately usher in private security forces for people who can afford it and people who can't get stuff like Team Scorpion and probably drones and other robotics to police the poor neighborhoods.
It was less than three weeks after the January 7th traffic stop turned deadly that the five now former Memphis police officers were charged with second-degree murder before the video was released publicly.
And there is new fallout for law enforcement.
The Shelby County Sheriff announcing two deputies have been relieved of duty pending an internal investigation based on their actions when they arrived to the scene with Nichols.
And tonight, Memphis police announced it will permanently deactivate the Scorpion unit, the part of the police force all five officers charged in Nichols' death belong to.
The unit was formed in 2021 to fight violent street crime.
Now notice they still haven't mentioned any of these reports that the five officers were all African-American, black, whatever you want to call it these days, which is very inconvenient because that was always the trigger with George Floyd.
You have white cops, black victim, And this is the last clip, and then I'll break down what I learned.
For the first time, we are seeing the violent arrest... I wanted to leave this in.
So, with 25 people dead in California, shot dead, workplace violence, you know, that's all pushed away.
Now, this story has to be pushed by the media.
It was completely pushed by the delay of, and just the hyping up of all we're gonna... Sorry?
Hyping.
Hyping, yes.
The body cam footage, it's coming, it's coming.
We're going to put it over here.
It's coming.
It's going to be terrible.
You're going to be sickened.
Don't watch.
It's going to be in four hours.
We're waiting.
Four hour countdown.
So this became a thing for the media, whether it's intentional or just the nature of the beast.
They were pushing this.
Intentional.
Well, by them it's intentional, but I don't know if they were... Because of the hyping, they did that intentional.
Maybe they're all in their A-holes and they should be ransomware.
But it doesn't matter.
It's what happened.
Here we go.
For the first time, we are seeing the violent arrest of Tyree Nichols.
What began as a traffic stop quickly turned violent, as captured on multiple videos released tonight by the city of Memphis.
Officers are seen pulling Nichols out of the car.
I'm just trying to go home!
They use pepper spray and deploy a taser during a struggle.
Nichols runs from officers.
Police took him down again.
Just 80 yards from his mother's house.
Then for roughly three minutes, officers are seen repeatedly kicking and punching Nichols while he was handcuffed.
During the assault, Nichols called out for his mother repeatedly.
Mom!
As Nichols lay on the ground, bloodied and bruised, several minutes go by without any of the officers administering first aid, along with at least two paramedics.
Nichols died in the hospital three days later.
All right, so again, although incredibly sad, what's going on here is not about this particular case, although it is interesting how when you read the report, he called out for his mom.
That immediately brings George Floyd to mind as he was calling out for his mom as he was dying on the spot, likely from a fentanyl overdose.
Doesn't matter, doesn't matter.
It's irrelevant because that's not what is being taken advantage of.
Well, let's play these two clips for you for analysis.
This is the same rundown, but instead of being on commercial television, it was on NPR, which is worse.
Okay.
Protests took place around the country overnight, mostly peaceful, following the release of video showing Memphis police brutally beating Tyreen Nichols, who died three days later.
Five black police officers have been fired and they face murder charges.
Tennessee State Representative Joe Towns Jr.
praised the peaceful demonstrations and called for more in Memphis and elsewhere.
We have to protest, but they did it in such a dignified way.
You can hear the echoes of the chants of, we're going to do it like mama said.
Mama said she wanted what?
Peaceful protests.
Meanwhile, Memphis City Councilmember Jeff Warren says the police force is understaffed by hundreds of officers.
He says it doesn't have enough police supervisors on the streets of Memphis.
In the Memphis Police Department, we're down 500 officers from our complement.
We need 2,500 officers to be able to patrol the city.
And we've been working on 1,800, 1,900, 2,000 officers.
So we're down by 20%.
So that means everyone's working every time.
And today Memphis police say they are permanently deactivating the Scorpion unit that the five officers who killed Nichols belong to.
All right.
Did you have another one?
Well, that clip was interesting because it backs up the fact that nobody wants these jobs.
Yes.
The other one is this one, which it turns, this reminds me of the Rodney King thing.
And by the way, I saw both these videos.
Very different.
I thought so too.
I thought the Rodney King one was a real...
A real beating even though King lived through it.
And it was just different.
But the thing that was similar was the number of people that were surrounding watching.
And this took place with all these events.
And this is the one that is kind of interesting.
This is the Memphis, the others involved.
Other questions about what went on behind the scenes.
For instance, people are asking why the sheriff's office may not have known until last night that some of their officers were there that night.
Also, there are questions about two fire department employees who are also under investigation.
We're still sorting through the footage, but it appears that two first responders did not take appropriate action with Nichols, who was clearly in distress.
And there's also the matter of this special unit that these officers belong to.
The team has now been deactivated and the police chief has called for an independent review.
On another note, anybody who has watched the video is bound to be struck by the number of law enforcement officials that appeared on scene.
The local district attorney who announced the original charges against the five officers said it doesn't preclude further action from his office.
Again, no mention of the African-American nature of the officers.
Of course, it doesn't fit the narrative.
And as people were getting worried, like, oh, this is going to be another Black Lives Matter.
It's not.
I can tell you right now, this is not going to happen.
There's something much bigger going on here which needs to be discussed.
And of course, this very sad event is being abused for it.
So back to the professional signs.
Justice for Tyree.
They're never bashful about promoting what they put on the signs, if you look at it.
We all saw the professional signs.
That is a no-agenda trigger.
These signs were printed up by the Party for Socialism and Liberation.
pslweb.org I'm just going to go down this rabbit hole and then we'll be done because you'll understand exactly what is happening and you'll understand how to feel at least not as anxious about another repeat of the summer of peaceful protests.
So from the program of the Party for Socialism and Liberation, by the way, there's no one, no one has mentioned, there's no board or anything like this, it's just websites and they all connect to other websites like, what's the other one, breakingthechains.org and it's all the same thing, built by the same people.
During the, probably five to ten years ago when these signs started cropping up, it was done by the World's Workers Party.
Yes, stay tuned.
And they did the same thing.
You'd try to track them down and it was this website and that website that was, it was the epitome of long tail.
Well, you're jumping to the end.
I'll still take us down that route.
So, now they have the program, so I'm just going to, that's the only real thought, like three paragraphs I'm going to read, just so you understand what's really happening here.
So they're getting people onto the streets, they have the Justice for Tyree Nichols take to the streets, and they have everything coordinated, all the different cities where you can find a protest going on, what time it starts, where you're supposed to assemble, including Austin, Texas.
So the Party for Socialism and Liberation exists to carry out the struggle for socialism inside the United States, the center of world capitalism and imperialism.
The PSL stands in solidarity with our sisters and brothers around the world who are resisting capitalist exploitation and imperialist domination.
The need for the socialist reorganization of society becomes more apparent and urgent with each passing day.
While a tiny part of the population grows ever richer, tens of millions of workers here in the United States and billions of workers around the world sink deeper into poverty.
Monumental advances in science and technology, which should have uplifted the many, instead have only mainly enriched the few.
The great wealth society is the product of both natural resources and the labor of the working people.
Yet the wealth is increasingly the private property of those who produce nothing of value, the tiny class of capitalist owners.
This irreconcilable conflict defines the life of the vast majority of people in the world.
The development of capitalism, as already foreseen by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, In the mid 19th century binds the world even more closely together.
Today there's a vast and growing international working class of which the US working class is but one section.
So they've got nothing but LGBTQ BIPOC videos of people saying, young people saying, I finally found a place to connect.
I finally found a place that I can connect.
And what's great about this, the way they write this stuff, It's hard to argue.
We don't like big pharma.
We don't like big tech.
We can see the scam of the banks.
But these are the same people that were also behind Black Lives Matter.
BIPOC, mainly women.
Marxists.
Professional Marxists.
And they've got books.
Everything except the actual Karl Marx book, interestingly enough.
They've got books that you can buy and they've got all kinds of different websites.
And this is all sub-sites of the Answer Coalition.
And the Answer Coalition, they started as a front group for the World Workers Party.
And they actually started September 14th, 2001.
Where they organized, and they organized major anti-Iraq war rallies in 2002 and 2003.
They are inherently anti-Israel.
They hate cops.
They hate the, because they're all for Palestine.
Yeah, it's a giveaway.
It's a big, so here's the... They have a check, if you, there's a checklist of things that you can see these things, boom, it draws right back to these answer folk.
And the answer folk is an acronym for Answer Now to Stop War and End Racism.
So, now if you start to look at this outfit, and I think one of the main players may be this Brian Becker guy.
He's the co-director of the International Action Center, national director of International Answer.
Former member of the World Workers' Party, Secretariat, co-founder of the Party for Socialism and Liberation, and there's a lot of documentation, who's on this, who's a part of it, including Al Sharpton, you know, his whole rainbow coalition or whatever it is.
And so this is an operative and World Workers Party is 50 years old.
This is an operation and you'll see it when you start seeing the messaging.
You can't ignore that a lot of the problems you and I would both agree with is like, yeah, that's effed up, but they're giving a solution.
Their answer is socialism and Marxism.
And so the problem they have, and we got to keep our eye on these guys because they're not going to succeed this time, but eventually they just might.
And Antifa is also one of their, you know, that's like their stormtroopers.
They bring those in if they need to kick off some stuff, but the problem is Americans will Jump in and protest police brutality if there's racism involved.
See, that's why you have Jane Fonda saying climate change, it's all racism.
So if you don't have the racism component, which we don't have in this case, we have everything else.
We don't have a white cop.
Americans don't protest.
White girls don't protest against cops.
I'm going to tell you that right now.
No.
Protest for a cop killing a black man?
Yeah, now we're all in.
So it's a fail.
And they're openly, openly now saying, we're Marxists and this is the way to go.
So I think this is a failure.
In fact, Austin was one of the Now, one of the targeted cities, and people I know in Austin, oh, Austin's going to burn tonight.
There were literally 20 people on a field.
You know why?
Because it's cold.
This is the whole problem.
It's too cold.
No one in Chicago is going to go out and protest tonight.
It's too cold everywhere.
So we're missing all of the racial components.
The timing is off, but we do have to be, and I said it, we do have to be aware of this happening, and these groups are a problem.
And the media is all in on it, and that's where we have to be vigilant, at least if we want to know what's happening in our back, going on in our backyard.
So, sadly, once again, just abuse the black man, in this case, to move the socialist and Marxist and communist movement forward, and they're not bashful about using those words anymore.
Well, to me that's a plus.
Me too, because now it's easier to identify.
You don't have to... There's a hubris on their part.
Correct.
Correct.
There are better ways of doing it in the olden days, and this is, you're right, it goes back 50 years or more.
56, I think.
But it goes back to the international and all the rest of the communist stuff that took place in the 40s.
But it's like they were better at covering it, now they're just, they're kind of bragging about it, and it's not going to work because at some point it triggers something in the American psyche that's really not for communism.
Yeah, no.
Exactly.
You know, you know, it just, it's not going to work.
The only thing we have to be careful of is Antifa.
You know, this, and Antifa is also worldwide, you know, it's not just a bunch of jerks in Portland.
Antifa is everywhere.
No, no, Antifa is everywhere.
And they get funded.
So that brings us to another, I think, I think the media being in on something, which was this Pelosi thing.
Oh yeah.
Because the media was, was, If you watch... Well, I can go either way.
I can start from the end and just go to the beginning, which is probably better.
We can start with the repeat of the... These are all under DPAP.
Yeah, I got you.
And I also have the Pelosi 911 call.
But we'll start with the end of this analysis, which is NBC getting rid of Elmagear.
Who?
The guy on NBC, Alma Gear, the guy with a very funny presentation voice, who did the report on what happened, and he got suspended from NBC for giving this early report.
Hopefully everyone out there has seen the video.
There's not much to it, but Alma Gear reports it incredibly accurately, and he gets fired for doing so by NBC, and I don't think he's been reinstated.
Sources familiar with what unfolded in the Pelosi residence now revealing, when officers responded to the high-priority call, they were seemingly unaware they'd been called to the home of the Speaker of the House.
After a knock and announce, the front door was opened by Mr. Pelosi.
The 82-year-old did not immediately declare an emergency or try to leave his home, but instead began walking several feet back into the foyer Toward the assailant and away from police.
Why Pelosi didn't try to flee or tell responding officers he was in distress is unclear.
We still don't know exactly what unfolded between Mr. Pelosi and the suspect for the 30 minutes they were alone inside that house.
Okay.
So that was the report that got Al McGeer fired.
Sidelined.
He's on suspension.
Sidelined by NBC.
Having seen the video, this is exactly what happened.
Pretty much.
And did he not, did I see him have a drink in his hand?
Yeah.
They keep talking about this drink in his hand.
I don't know.
That's still kind of baffling.
So let's listen to the, let's listen to the, the pop ABC report.
Hold on a second.
Yep, got it.
This video is also disturbing.
It is difficult.
We're not going to show you much of it.
Officers are- Now, hold on.
Stop right there.
Why aren't they going to show us much of it?
You've seen the whole thing.
I did.
What's there?
Why do you stop it?
I mean, it's mostly just a bunch of camera, just the guy knocking this guy over, you know, going after the guy with the hammer, and then the police jump him right away, which is kind of contrary to early reports.
And I want to mention at this point, before I get to the rest of this, The thinking goes that the reason that NBC got rid of it or moved to Almaguer and they kept trying to develop a narrative that this was a right-wing nutball.
Yes, I remember Trump!
I remember.
It was Trump, but instead the guy lived in a school bus with left-wing stickers all over it, gay pride flags, and he was a socialist.
He's a socialist on the lines of these guys that you just talked about, the Answer Group.
He's that kind of guy and he was going after Pelosi for whatever reason.
It wasn't because of Trump or MAGA and they couldn't get that narrative to play out like you just pointed out with the narrative they tried to push with this racism thing which they have trouble with because of the black cops.
Right.
This is the media.
This is what we're dealing with here.
These guys are, this is the corrupt media that are trying to pull something on us and so let's finish this ABC.
This is ABC Report.
This is David Mir.
This video is also disturbing.
It is difficult.
We're not going to show you much of it.
Officers arriving to see an intruder at the door holding Paul Pelosi with one hand.
Both men struggling over a hammer.
Obviously, we're not going to show what happens next.
David DuPage hitting Mr. Pelosi.
I like the obviously part.
Yeah, what's obvious about it?
They show the black man being beaten, so they don't want to show the hammer that beats the old white man?
I mean, obviously, you're full of crap, David Muir.
That's just not okay.
Paul Pelosi was home alone at the time.
There you see... Hold on!
Pelosi in the head with that hammer as officers rushed through the door, tackling him to the floor.
He allegedly broke in just after 2 a.m.
That was back on October 28th.
Paul Pelosi was home alone at the time.
There you see.
Hold on.
Hold on a second.
What time did he break in?
He allegedly broke in just after 2 a.m.
That was back- 2 a.m.
Uh, and this body cam video was at 9.31 p.m.
Am I correct?
I don't know the times on the body cam video.
Well, that's what I looked at because I have two video timestamps.
Actually, I have him breaking in at 5 a.m.
Not 2, but 5.
His timestamp, the video, the surveillance video, could be wrong, could be offset improperly.
Well, it's probably bad reporting, let's face it.
But this guy was inside for a long time is what I'm saying.
Uh, they say he was in there for a half an hour.
If he was in at 2 a.m.
and they don't go until 9 p.m.
the next day.
Yeah, if you're gonna go by those numbers.
Yeah!
That's a problem!
Well, here's the Pelosi 9-1-1 call, and it's got a timestamp on it.
Well, we haven't finished that report.
Let's finish the report first.
On October 28th, Paul Pelosi was home alone at the time.
There you see, at the doorway, Paul Pelosi, David DuPage.
What is the hammer, the hand connected?
They say drop the hammer, and of course, That's chilling.
We're freezing the video there in and of itself.
We're not going to move any further than that.
Obviously, our team is working through this at this hour.
Prosecutors say he planned to kidnap and torture Speaker Nancy Pelosi and had a hit list of elected officials to pay pleading not guilty to attempted murder, burglary, and elder abuse.
We should mention that authorities say it took him 16 blows and an entire body slam just to break through the glass to get into the home in San Francisco on that night.
And once they were inside, they recovered two hammers, a pair of rubber gloves, and a sword on the premises.
A rubber knife and a compass?
What is up with a sword?
What is up with the sword business?
Now the thing is, of course, this is a very quiet part of San Francisco.
And all that racket you think would have alerted some neighbor.
And also, they bring it up but they don't bring it up enough, which is the Capitol Police are supposed to be guarding this house 24-7.
And it took them 16 blows.
So, there you go.
So what's going on with that?
They don't want to talk about that either.
At least the elites get the same crappy police that we do.
That's the good news.
Uh, 9-11 call?
9-11 call?
Yeah, the 9-11 call.
This is the call that the 9-11 received and I, I, you get the sense that the guy, uh, he's on the phone in the bathroom.
It seems as though the pop must be right there looking at him.
Wait a minute.
- San Francisco, please, 74. - 2022. - Oh, I guess I called it. - Wait a minute, 2022, what?
2022?
What?
Let me listen again. - San Francisco, please, 74.
What is it?
Oh, well, there's a gentleman here just waiting for my wife to come back.
Nancy Pelosi.
18 seconds.
It's in San Francisco police.
Do you need help?
Oh, well, there's a gentleman here just waiting for my wife to come back.
He has to close it.
3, 2, 23, and 18 seconds.
He's just waiting for her to come back because she's not going to be here for a day, so I guess we'll have to wait.
0, 2, 23, and 18 seconds.
Okay, do you need police fire or medical for anything?
8 seconds.
I don't think so.
I don't think so.
Wow.
So...
So odd.
All of us are so odd.
So he drops the Nancy Pelosi thing trying to trigger them but they don't pay attention.
Somebody does because the cops finally do show up.
Now here's the interesting clip because this I don't know that's been played anywhere except locally.
Because it's one, and it hasn't even been played locally except on KTVU, because DaPap called one of the reporters in the office and gave a statement.
DaPap seen on video striking Paul Pelosi with a hammer inside his San Francisco home.
Amber Lee joins us now with his bizarre, seemingly rehearsed message tonight.
Amber.
Christina Gray seemingly rehearsed.
Oh, goodness.
David DePapp called me from San Francisco County Jail this afternoon.
I had originally reached out to him last year after his arrest.
At the start of our conversation this afternoon, he told me he wanted to make a statement and that I could record the call.
Our conversation lasted just under five and a half minutes.
Now that you all have seen the body cam footage, I have an important message for everyone in America.
You're welcome.
Freedom Liberty isn't dying.
It's being killed.
Systematically and deliberately.
The people killing it have names and addresses.
So I got their names and addresses so I could pay them a little visit and have a heart-to-heart chat about their bad behavior.
I want to apologize to everyone.
I messed up.
What I did was really bad.
I'm so sorry.
injured Pelosi and left him hospitalized for several days with a fractured skull.
The apology was for what he says he didn't get to do.
I want to apologize to everyone.
I messed up.
What I did was really bad.
I'm so sorry.
I didn't get more of them.
It's my own fault.
No one else is to blame.
I should have come better prepared.
I have a lot more to say.
The suspect in the Pelosi attack says that he spent all his time exposing online what he calls government corruption, only to have his freedom of speech silenced with his website shut down.
I have a lot more to say.
I had a website of over 300 pages.
That's 200 pages of stuff they don't want you to hear.
I'm in the process of trying to set up a new site out of the reach of tyrannical global global stashions and their internet sensors.
Shortly after the video of her husband's attack was released, Nancy Pelosi says she will not be watching the footage.
I wasn't able to challenge DePap's statements and ask follow-up questions.
He tells me he didn't want to jeopardize his case.
DePav faces state charges of attempted murder and elder abuse, as well as charges in federal court for kidnapping.
He has pleaded not guilty.
His next court date is scheduled for February 23rd.
Well, that is something I indeed have not heard.
And do we even know if it's really him?
He sounds pretty put together.
I don't know.
Huh.
But it, well, we can think of a million different scenarios.
That hasn't been played anyplace else.
I have not heard it.
I have not heard it anywhere.
No, it won't get, I think, and they're hanging on to it on KTVU so they can use it as an exclusive for a while, but they can't keep that going on forever because they're part of all these exchange groups and TV and print.
I mean, that guy sounds like he's right out of the PSL playbook.
Yeah, I think the way he started it was, you're welcome.
Comrade.
Which was a bit much.
It would have been funny if he said comrade.
Comrades would have been good, but he didn't do that.
Yeah, the whole thing is, but what's interesting overall is that they suppressed the tape.
They would not release this.
This was only under a court order after they were sued.
Under FOIA by every news organization in the Bay Area and probably some more outside the Bay Area to get this released because they wouldn't release it.
Why wouldn't they release it?
Why?
You saw it.
What's the big deal about releasing it?
I have a thought.
I have a thought.
So they finally released it.
The timing was interesting.
I mean, it was Friday, I think they released it, Friday night?
Yeah, it must be.
They released it just before they released the one from Memphis.
Seems about the same time that Trump gave a speech.
We have a president whose son's laptop from hell gets taken over and exposes massive corruption like nobody's ever seen before.
You think the father, do you ever hear this?
Do you think the father was upset?
Dad, I left my laptop in a repair shop.
Forgot to pick it up, and this repair guy went a little crazy when he saw what was on it.
What's on it, son?
Every crime that you've ever committed, Pa.
I mean, could it be something like that?
That just, let's, whatever we do, now is the time to release all this so there's no noise about Trump's speech?
Well you'd have to know what Trump's speech was going to be about at least.
Anything Trump!
Anything!
They're desperate.
I'm telling you something's up because this stupid Pelosi video which should have been released the next day.
Yeah.
Which got Almaguer, who reported on it extremely accurately, much more so than any of the other networks.
Nobody else reported on it as accurately as he did.
And then they took it down from the website even?
This is the other part of that.
NBC took that report down from its own website.
So this is a conspiracy.
There it is.
I love your theory.
It has to be.
Of course it is.
Why did NBC take any of this action?
Because they were told to.
The question is, who told them to do what?
Yeah, they obviously had to be told to and they had to shut up Al McGeer so they put him on suspension.
Don't worry about it, we'll get you back later.
No, I think he should be very careful.
No small aviation, no hot tubs, no canoeing.
There's no reason for him to... I mean, unless he knows who told him to... I don't think he knows anything except his report.
So he doesn't have to be worried about anything, it seems to me.
Well, he's a troublemaker regardless.
He's a troublemaker.
He's just doing his job.
Hold on.
What are they saying?
Goodfellas?
Eh, why take a risk?
Eh, why take a chance?
Why take a chance?
I can't get past this.
I have to play a little bit of this video on the homepage of the Party for Socialism and Liberation.
Now, it's like watching TikTok.
Eh, why take a risk?
Eh, why take a chance?
Hold on.
What?
I'm sorry?
I didn't say anything.
I thought you were saying something.
That's weird.
I didn't say anything.
Party for Socialism.
What is this?
Why am I hearing... What is that?
Oh, I'm hearing myself back for some reason.
I pulled a John C. Dvorak.
I'm gonna leave this in the show.
Uh, yes, the stream is still on in a browser.
And so I'm... Like, why am I here?
Oh, and so you were playing from the browser in the stream.
Yes!
I'm like, why?
This is what you did a while back and I excoriated you for it.
I'm so sorry.
I must repent.
Alright, here we go.
See how easy it is?
It's very easy.
I join the PSL.
PSL.
The Party for Socialism and Liberation.
PSL.
PSL I was looking to make a positive impact in my community.
I wanted to do relevant organizing work in my hometown against the housing crisis, prisons, and police brutality, but also against the U.S.' 's imperialist wars in other countries.
The useless, imperialist wars of the United States were devastating for communities around the world.
So once I was able to see that there was a connection between the wars abroad and the war on our people at home, it was very clear that I needed to get involved.
I knew that I wanted to join a revolutionary party that kept in mind everyone and everyone's humanity.
It was through the party that I understood the source of my pain.
And when I understood that source, I wanted to destroy it.
I was raised being told that all of the great problems in the world had been solved already.
That racism was solved and there were some hiccups along the way, but it's all better now.
And that wasn't my experience.
As a child of immigrants and seeing my family go through so many different situations and seeing family members incarcerated.
As an immigrant growing up in a working-class family.
They got everybody.
They got LGBTQ, LGBTQIAPK+.
They got Noodle Boys.
They got BIPOCs.
Immigrant.
Immigrants.
It's everything is in here and it just as it progresses.
I saw a lot of hardship and struggle.
I experienced a lot.
Fighting for fair wages, health care, access to housing.
Just seeing how much injustice that was happening.
I grew up with my parents teaching me about the civil rights era.
How much of a stain that slavery and... It was kind of cool.
The Asian girl grew up with parents who told her about the civil rights era.
This is very cool.
Oppression and native genocide left on the United States.
Also the interconnection of sexism, of racism, of homophobia, of transphobia with capitalism.
Capitalism is the source of all the racism.
There we go.
Capitalism is the source of all the... Let's back it up for a second.
It always comes down to that.
They can't get away... I mean, besides being big boosters of the Palestinians, I don't get that personally, but that's part of it.
It's always a checklist item, Palestinian, and then capitalism.
They bring it in If I may be so bold, I think they're making a transliteration or a connection between banks, Jews, Israel, bad.
Oh, it's totally antisemitic.
Absolutely.
Also the interconnection of sexism, of racism, of homophobia, of transphobia with capitalism.
Capitalism is the source of all the racism and incarceration and poverty that my family has experienced.
Millions and millions of dollars being funneled overseas to fund a war that killed many innocent lives.
There's so much happening around the world that is just very hard to digest.
I needed to have an analysis that really spoke to the conditions as to which I was growing up with.
A big shift for me was...
By the way, there's this one guy, this one white guy in here with a beard, and I can't find his name anywhere.
I look at him, I know this guy from somewhere.
I have seen him, and you can see it right on the homepage of PLSweb.org if anyone's in the troll room.
The guy with the beard, I know him from somewhere.
I had children.
I didn't want to have to explain to them why I didn't do something more.
Once I started to get older... Wait, hold it!
We both had children.
When have we ever had to explain to any kid why we didn't do more?
Throwback to Nazis.
Oh, it must be.
Because it's not a fact.
I don't know anybody who has kids who's ever thought that they had to explain why.
I'm sorry, son, I didn't do more.
Okay, how about this?
What were you doing when the earth was burning from climate change?
You didn't do enough.
I mean, it's all intertwined.
This is programming.
I'm never confronted with this.
Well, no, because... I don't have kids that are insane.
Dude, we're old as wood.
So, you know, this is all new.
Wood can be quite young.
A good, uh, popular tree can be, uh... Alright, alright, alright, you know what I'm saying?
I didn't want to have to explain to them why I didn't do something more.
Once I started to get... I'm sorry, it's PSLweb.org for all of you.
PSLweb.org.
I'm older.
I got a little bit more militant.
Militant?
And interested in socialism.
Interested?
Socialism really is the solution to the issues that we have in this country.
Rejecting the notion that profits should be placed over people.
I started to learn more about what socialism actually is and what it actually stands for.
Hey, is this cool or what?
You want to listen a little more?
Yes, this is fabulous.
I like this.
You know, I had a good day at work.
Honey, we listened to these kids who were socialists.
It was kind of good.
These crazy kids are talking about how much they hate capitalism.
I determined that a revolution is the only way to actually fight for freedoms and equalities that our people deserve.
Just realize our people deserve, wait, wait, our people.
Hold on a second.
He's BIPOC.
These two, one after another, are BIPOC because they're not ADOS, I can tell.
So he's talking about our people.
So he's not inclusive at all.
And the whole schema is supposed to be about inclusiveness and that we don't have race blindness and all the rest of it, even though you don't want to do that, for God's sake.
But this we-deserve-it thing has always been a kind of a... There's a couple of items.
You see them on TV.
The lawyers that Talk about the ambulance chasers that go, yeah, you're going to get the money you deserve.
You're going to get the money you deserve.
That we call, that we say you deserve.
That's kind of annoying.
But the one that really gets me the most are the beauty commercials for some cosmetics company.
And it's the, you deserve it.
Right.
Which is like bull crap.
You deserve, what do you deserve?
You deserve it.
To actually fight for the freedoms and equalities that our people deserve.
I just realized the need for some sort of centralized movement and thinking about the only way that revolution was going to happen was joining the struggles that I had experienced in my childhood.
No other groups that I met at the time were tying the local struggles against capitalism to international struggles for liberation around the world.
Ooh, you see, this is deep.
These people are dangerous.
Capitalism.
Not these people, but the people who are programming these children.
International struggles for liberation around the world.
And the PSL is dedicated to making sure that we can all live in dignity and security.
And it turned out that PSL was the perfect organization for me.
And being around people in the party really gave me a new perspective, a deeper understanding of the issues that are going on in this country, and also tying it into a larger global context.
How to understand the conditions that put us in the position that we're at are not necessarily random.
There are things that we can analyze and be able to work towards changing and create change together.
Revolution, comrade!
Giving people the knowledge from past struggles.
Past struggles.
And helping elevate people in each community.
This guy is a professional Marxist.
I know him from somewhere.
The beard is bad.
Community to become leaders.
Leaders.
And PSL does a great job of explaining those sorts of things.
Yes.
And really building people into organizers.
Oh yeah.
Build a system where it's us workers in charge.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, uh, you know, we can't, we, the workers have to own the coffee shop.
And not the bosses.
Not the bosses.
Oh, here it is.
Here it is.
Noodle.
Noodle.
Here we go.
Noodle.
And really building people into organizers.
Build a system where it's us workers in charge and not the bosses.
Not the, not the capitalists in charge.
These are struggles that connect us.
That was the noodle boy.
Back it up.
It's a new noodle boy.
It's a new noodle boy.
The workers should be in charge, not the bosses.
That's what I said.
It's just like the news.
That's what he said, too.
I mean, that's what I'm saying.
Yeah, we're saying the same thing.
We have to listen to it one more time, because it is Noodle Boy.
I mean, it's the same.
Noodle Boy is not a person.
Noodle Boy lives!
Noodle Boy is a concept, comrade.
Noodle Boy is more- is more- The Noodle Boy concept!
We are all Noodle Boy!
I'm gonna shoot you in the face with my noodle gun, you lazy piece of shit!
Oh, insanity!
These poor kids!
Here we go!
I got my pasta, glock, glock!
- Tucked and loaded.
- Here we go, noodle noodle noodle.
- Those sorts of things, and really building people into organizers.
- Build a system where it's us workers in charge and not the bosses, not the capitalists in charge.
- These are struggles that connect us nationwide, and I believe it's incredibly important for members nationwide to be able to communicate with each other and share what's going on in our communities and be able to support each other.
With a nationally coordinated organization, we can harness the full power of each person's skills, talents, individual work, and contribute it to a collective goal that's far more powerful than the impact of any one person.
From Atlanta or California, someone knows something about what you're going through and has been through something similar and can share and help.
Being a part of a national organization...
... allows for us to mobilize quickly when there are uprisings, protests... Ah, ah, ah, ah, here it is, here's the storm force.
To mobilize quickly when there's uprisings and protests.
This is Marxism!
This is it!
... to mobilize quickly when there are uprisings, protests... And it's only through struggling together and fighting together that we can... Fighting?
Fighting?
Fighting?
You know, that shit's getting Trump indicted, man.
You gotta be careful what you say.
... change this.
In an organized and revolutionary party.
There was really only one solution for me, and it was to join a revolutionary party.
Can somebody get a copy of this?
Because I don't think this is going to be up that long.
It's on YouTube.
It's embedded on their website, and it's on YouTube.
It's a YouTube embed.
Are you kidding me?
They're not doing this right.
As a former subversive.
Are you saying that the Curry Dvorak Consulting Group should perhaps get involved so we can help our comrades do it right?
They're not doing it right.
At least the way I see it.
I may be old-fashioned.
But I think this is too much.
What would you recommend?
Well, they've got to back off.
I mean, this is ridiculous.
I don't know what... I think this is the YouTube mentality and they figure... I think... not YouTube, but TikTok.
I think you caught that early.
This is like a TikTok thing.
And it's like these short little snippets, but there's too many of them.
And it's one... I mean, it's like...
They made their point.
They made their point like halfway, not even halfway through this.
Oh, it's way too long.
It's way too long.
Way too long.
That's why I didn't even clip it.
And they're just beating it up now.
And now it's, now because they're doing it to such a...
They're doing it in such a lengthy manner that I think it's giving it away.
They're giving it away.
They're giving away the nastiness of it all.
Yes, this is why I was so jitty when I found all this last night.
I'm like, oh, this is not to be messed with.
They're messing it up, but they could get it right.
And they have Antifa.
Might as well play it out, since we've been doing it this long.
Yeah, you're almost done.
It's taken up a lot of time, but it's good.
It's good stuff.
Change this in an organized and revolutionary party.
There was really only one solution for me, and it was to join a revolutionary party that uses Marxism-Leninism as a science.
Marxism and Leninism as a science.
Now, you know what might be going on here, if you sat down and actually watched it, I don't think anyone could stomach this by the way, especially the TikTok generator, they can't put it, it's too long.
But, let's just say, it's possible that this whole thing, we've been interrupting it a lot, so it doesn't have the same effect.
Yeah, thank goodness.
But if you sat there and watched it, it's possible it has some hypnotic action.
Yes, comrade.
And by the end, you're kind of bug-eyed, you know, and you're, yes, yes, exactly, yes, comrade.
I need to join the revolutionary party.
I need a party that is revolutionary, that can mobilize.
Marxism-Leninism as a science to help us analyze our current situation.
I have a much better understanding of capitalism in this country.
You know, hold on, I think I take that kid more seriously after his balls dropped.
Seriously.
I have a much better understanding of socialism, the history of socialism.
Part of the PSL's mission is to educate the working class, teach people about how we organize, and also teach the lessons of previous movements.
As a member myself, I've really learned how to be able to support not only my community, but also to be able to support my workplace and understanding how to be able to struggle together.
If you're interested in joining the PSL, I would highly encourage you to check out the website, pslweb.org, get in touch with your local branch, speak to, you know, PSL members about the work that they do.
Meet the comrades in the PSL, go to some events, hear what people have to say.
He said it!
He said meet the comrades!
Meet the comrades!
I hear that Robert De Niro is doing a new movie, Meet the Comrades, instead of Meet the Parents.
This is crazy!
Comrades in the PSL go to some events, hear what people have to say, see how the party supports its community.
Be ready to challenge yourself and be ready to grow more than you may think you can.
It's not a light thing to join the party and you need to be ready to be committed.
You will grow in such a short amount of time in terms of being a community organizer, being a socialist.
As free as you can get, you're never going to be fully free while we live under this system of capitalism.
And I'm glad I joined the party when I did because I feel like I have a very clear vision of what needs to be done in this country.
And we need to start mobilizing now because the politicians are not going to save us.
The people can only save us.
I hope that anybody watching is motivated and ready to join the Party for Socialism and Liberation because we need you.
Now, just thinking, because Tina and I are always saying, why would they do this?
Why would you purposely destroy your city?
Why would you destroy communities?
And now it makes sense, like the penny drops, of course.
Everyone hates what's going on in this country.
I like prefer to say our country.
Everyone hates what's going on in their own country.
That's why he says that, I think.
It doesn't matter what country you're in, you're probably dissatisfied with the bankers, with the big pharma, with big tech, with the politicians.
But it is really true that no matter where you come from, all the things these comrades are saying is you can identify with except for the whole Marxist-Leninist-Communist bullshit.
But the children will be very easy, like, oh, well there's this cool group over here, you know, the Hitlerjugend.
I like it!
Let's go over there!
Yeah, I think that's how you get people joining the Krishnas.
Same thing.
The Krishnas, though, I don't think they have an Antifa unit, but okay.
Now I want to play this clip just as a little side clip.
I'm all sweaty from this by the way.
This is like, this is horrible.
I thought you were always sweaty.
Can you find, you had to dig in this from a few shows back.
It didn't get played.
But I want to play this because this is important.
And the clip is called Immigration, but I spelled it I-M-M-I-H, so that should be easy to find.
Immigration, M-I-I what?
I-M-M-I-Hration from Venezuela.
Wow, that's one of the best misspellings you've ever had.
Sorry.
Excellent, here we go.
The number of migrants crossing the Darien Gap has nearly doubled from the year before.
That's according to the International Organization for Migration.
The area lies between Colombia and Panama.
It's estimated that close to 250,000 migrants made the treacherous crossing on their way north in 2022.
Panama's data says the number was around 130,000 migrants in 2021, and that migrants were mostly Haitian then.
Now, Venezuelans are dominating the flow, accounting for more than 150,000 crossings last year.
It's a record for 2022.
for 2022.
Only Venezuelans were 150,000 during a year only, which is close to the total in 2021.
It was a drastic change, almost immediate.
All from countries where situations are critical due to several reasons.
The U.S.
has recently been trying to make the journey less appealing.
The Biden administration said it would manage the surge in Venezuelans crossing the border with a new program.
It will now accept up to 24,000 Venezuelan migrants at U.S.
airports, and they have to pre-register through a government website.
Those who cross the border illegally will be sent back to Mexico.
Okay.
Now, these Venezuelans aren't leaving Venezuela because they like communism.
You don't want these people coming into the United States if you're trying to switch over to a socialist system.
They're not going to do it.
So send them back!
Ah!
And now we're getting tough on immigration, aren't we?
Send them back!
Wow.
They're not the communists we're looking for.
Good call back to that clip.
I don't think we even played it, did we?
No, never did.
Well, there you go.
We've solved the riddle.
Now, people got to look at the solutions to the problem because it's a problem.
It's a problem.
Yeah, the schools.
I'd like to slide into COVID through Big Pharma with a fun little thing that's taking place here.
We've talked about Ozempic.
Ozempic is the so-called... O-O-O-O-ZEMPIC!
...the so-called diabetes drug that is being prescribed off-label so that people who probably don't have diabetes... It's being used as a weight loss drug.
It's very popular.
Yes, in fact, it was brought up on one of the award shows recently by that comedian woman.
And she brought it up as part of her monologue.
That comedian woman?
Rosie O'Donnell?
No, uh, the blonde- Schumer?
Schumer?
Schumer?
No, no, no, no, uh, the one that was on E that was- that was having sex with the boss and got so far in her career because of it.
Uh, you know her.
I want to know.
Chelsea Handler.
Oh, Chelsea Handler.
Was she?
No, she was on an award show.
Okay, I'm glad I missed it.
So, um, this is a runaway hit.
Runaway hit.
There are some problems.
Some problems.
But watch how the Today Show, I don't know which hour this is, but watch how the Today Show takes this, takes what appears to be a problem with women who really probably don't even need the weight loss drug, Ozempic, which is not a weight loss drug, it is in fact a diabetes drug, and turn it into an ad for women to take more. and turn it into an ad for women to take This is mind-boggling.
For months, it's been the talk of TikTok.
By the way, the talk of TikTok, are you kidding me now?
That's a good one.
The talk of TikTok.
There's no such thing.
It is now!
The talk of TikTok.
For months it's been the talk of TikTok.
People losing weight.
Right there you know it's an ad when someone says that, don't you?
If they're saying, for months it's been the talk of TikTok.
Well, that can only be because it's an ad.
I wouldn't have thought of it as an identifier, but I think it could be.
For months it's been the talk of TikTok.
People losing weight on diabetes drug Ozempic.
But now social media is flooded with complaints about some unwanted side effects.
Have you heard about these complaints from the unwanted side effects, John?
No, but I'll bet you they're gems.
It hurts.
It literally hurts my stomach.
Oh no!
You're going to miss it if you talk over it.
...and vomiting, according to Ozempic's manufacturer, Novo Nordisk. But another common issue is something being called Ozempic Face. Yeah!
Ozempic face!
Now we're cooking with gas!
A loss of facial fat that can leave the face looking aged, almost deflated.
At first, Natasha Veloci was thrilled with her weight loss results on Ozempic.
Once considered clinically obese, she lost 68 pounds.
But when she looked in the mirror, she didn't like what she saw from the neck up.
As the weight goes, your face does go, and you do get a little, a gauntness.
Dr. Paul Jared Frank is a dermatologist in New York, who coined the phrase, ozempic face, after seeing many patients following significant weight loss.
By the way, this, this dude is, he's, he's dressed in a suit, a dark, a dark sports jacket, dark sports jacket, dark, like black shirt underneath, opened one button too far.
Is this specific to those drugs, or is this a result of rapid weight loss?
I think it's a little too early to tell.
I think it's true of all forms of rapid weight loss, but we're learning so much about these medications right now.
Ozepic and similar drugs haven't been studied in people with what is considered a healthy BMI.
Novo Nordisk, who also makes the higher dose Wagovi, which is FDA approved to treat obesity, says in part, Novo Nordisk does not promote, suggest, or encourage off-label use of our medicines.
When used off-label, the drugs can cost upwards of $1,000 a month.
For now, Natasha plans on using filler to combat Ozympic phase.
But says she would do it all again.
Thank God we have these amazing doctors that can help us add a little bit of zhuzh back.
To get your zhuzh, to get your zhuzh back into your face.
You know, this report is interesting to me because I saw some celebrity recently.
Jane Fonda?
Jane Fonda?
No, it definitely was not Jane Fonda.
She's so old, who knows what she really looks like.
It was just some random celebrity and I looked at him and I said, this person doesn't look right.
And it was their face.
Their head looked smaller.
The face did not have the right look about it.
I would say that facial fat would probably have something to do with it.
And I think I witnessed Ozempic face on someone.
It was very noticeable.
So, now we're back to the studio.
And this was a 10-minute report, so I only pulled two clips of the setup, which you could have... I mean, so there's two medications from the same company.
And you have the really powerful one, which is if you actually have... if you're obese, overweight, if you're obese and you have diabetes or you're on the way out of... you're leaving this earth.
So that can be prescribed.
But this other version, the OOO Zempic, that's really off-label.
So off-label, you have to pay for it out of pocket.
It's expensive, $1,000 a month.
There's some shilling for Medicare to pick it up.
But now we get into the studio.
Now they bring in a doctor we've never seen before.
And she's not dressed, no coat, no lab coat.
She's dressed sharp, sharply dressed, sharp-dressed woman with gold Chanel chains around her neck.
Ugh.
I mean, it's like, whoa!
Why is she doing this?
Well, here's her pitch.
Ozempic face.
I mean, I guess that's what they're calling it on TikTok.
I mean, is this just a function of people lose weight and then their face loses weight as well?
Definitely what we call an ozempic face is more like loss of elasticity inside of the skin, but this is not exclusive to ozempic.
It's not caused by the drugs, it's caused by the weight loss.
It's exclusive to weight loss of So, does the ozempic cause rapid weight loss?
Is that what's happening?
Is that why their faces are sagging like that?
No.
Well, in theory, it shouldn't.
And this is where the expertise of the prescriber is key.
The prescriber?
The prescriber, whoever that is.
I mean, a doctor, I guess, a prescriber.
Could it just be some dude on the corner who's a prescriber?
Expertise of the prescriber is key because the rapid weight loss should not be happening.
We should have slow weight loss.
Oh, so the more of the drug you get, the faster you drop the weight?
Is that what it is?
So what is happening here?
Yeah, I see what's happening.
They're plugging the hell out of this thing.
Yes!
They're telling women, our product is so dynamite, you gotta go easy.
So you gotta go slow, take it easy, you'll love this drug.
Yeah, you're gonna turn into a waif if you overdo it.
That's right.
gradual weight loss.
Oh, so the more of the drug you get, the faster you drop the weight.
This is disgusting what you're playing.
I'm so glad you like it.
It will cost more weight loss.
So the key is to start slow always.
It's a diabetes drug.
A couple of them are, I think, there's one that's approved for weight loss for obese patients and there's one that isn't prescribed off-label.
You have prescribed it off-label, but not for people who need to lose five pounds.
No, definitely.
There's guidelines on which patients we can use these medications, and if we stick to the guidelines, they're very straightforward.
Strict to the guidelines!
The guidelines, basically.
And there are so many people, we keep hearing stories of people with diabetes who say, I can't find my medicine.
I actually had a friend who just said, I'm still trying to find it.
Yeah, don't worry, because you need to go to the other drug, you see?
You need to go to the other drug that is really for you if you have diabetes, which is also questionable.
And that doctor earlier went on to say, you know, obesity is really genetics.
It's really genetics, which will be easy to change with the mRNA gene therapy.
It's all coming together.
It's all coming together.
So let's roll right into some, where are we at the time?
Yeah.
We're going to do one donation segment again today because it's just reasonably short.
Yeah, I'm looking.
I have in my head a total number of donations and if it's below that, we do one donation segment.
Cool.
Not the value, but the total.
Yeah.
I have a zero meetup report.
Yes, there's the meetup survey.
Mimi mentioned this to me that she says nobody's meeting anymore.
They're all depressed.
We'll talk about that later.
Hey!
Have you considered...
The party for socialists and liberation?
Yeah, join the party, comrades.
Come on, comrades.
Here's an advertisement from Pfizer.
Have heart failure and still experience unresolved symptoms?
Heart failure and seemingly unrelated symptoms like carpal tunnel syndrome, shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, and lower back pain could mean something more serious, It's called ATTRCM, a rare underdiagnosed disease that worsens over time, so it's important to recognize the signs.
Sound like you?
Call your cardiologist and ask about ATTRCM.
ATTRCM.
I think the cliquestodium found these for me, and there's another one here.
If this were the real COVID-19, I would be in real trouble, because I have asthma.
And I have depression.
Wait a minute, we'll play that in a moment.
I'm sorry.
Let's go back to A... What is it?
I forgot what it's called.
ATTRCM?
ATTRCM, yes.
ATTRCM is a very long technical name.
There is – here, what is – it's – It's transretin amyloid cardiomyopathy.
Which is an underdiagnosed and potentially fatal disease of the heart muscle.
Of course, you know, it's a protein that's called a transthyretin that normally circulates in the bloodstream, becomes misshapen, builds up in the heart, nerves, and other organs.
Sounds like a spike protein to me.
So when these amyloid deposits build up in the heart, the walls can become stiff, making the left ventricle unable to properly relax and fill with blood.
So you're obviously, oh, there's two types.
You have hereditary.
Oh, of course, you're born with it.
It's hereditary, which can run in families.
There's a variant in this transuretin gene, which results in amyloid deposits in the heart, nerves, etc.
Symptoms may start as early as age 20, as late as age 80.
It's more common in localized parts of Portugal, Sweden, and Japan.
However, there are a number of variants.
If it's genetic, they make it sound like it's a virus.
Variants in different parts of the world.
1 in 25 all African Americans.
And in older patients, it may be misdiagnosed.
It's horrible.
So, what risk factors for hereditary ATTRCM, family member with ATTRCM, or heart failure?
Because it's the same thing.
Age 50 or older?
Patients are primarily male.
Isn't that coincidence?
You know, 20 to 80, primarily male.
And African-Americans?
The wild type ATTRCM.
So, there's a wild type.
Doesn't that sound like it's a virus to you?
A wild type?
You know, you're going to have to get to the point.
Is this a cover-up for the shot?
Well, that, I think that's what it is.
And the only, okay.
So they're dreaming up stuff that is so obscure that they, you know, it's very seldom diagnosed.
I'll get to the point.
You have to ask your doctor.
By the way, who is your cardiologist?
Ask your cardiologist.
How many people have a cardiologist and why wouldn't the cardiologist already know about this?
This is a scam.
I'll get to the point.
Everyone's following you.
Get to the point, Curry!
Thank you.
There is, thank God, there is a medication for this.
The Vax.
Vindiquel.
And Vindamax.
Both made by Pfizer.
Exactly.
And do you have a plan yet?
If this were the real COVID-19, I would be in real trouble.
Because I have asthma.
And I have depression.
I have diabetes.
And I struggle with my weight.
For us, COVID is a whole different ballgame.
In fact, you could be one of almost 200 million Americans with a high risk factor that makes COVID even riskier.
Which is why you need to be ready and have a plan.
Other risk factors include heart disease or being inactive.
Even being over 50 or being a smoker can put you at serious risk.
Could that be you?
Find out.
Go to noplangood.com and know your risk factors.
Then make a plan.
Because if you get COVID on top of asthma, like I did, the last thing you want to do is wait and see.
Be ready, have a plan, and ask your doctor about treatment options that may help.
So everything leads back to COVID.
You need a shot for everything, medication for everything.
Everything, everything, everything.
Luckily, luckily the results are in of the bivalent vaccine.
I mean, if you thought for some reason that thing was killing people, oh no, no, no.
Dr. Jen Ashton from ABC is bringing us the good news.
Dr. Jen Ashton joins us now live in Los Angeles.
Dr. Jen, we've got a lot to talk about.
There's an updated booster that has shown to be effective for those fully vaccinated.
Right.
The CDC just releasing their latest data on the bivalent COVID-19 booster.
They looked at healthy, non-immune compromised adults here in the U.S.
from early December through mid-January and really tracked, did they get infected with COVID-19, this new variant, and if they did, how sick, and did they receive the booster?
Were they vaccinated or were they completely unvaccinated?
So they did a trial, basically.
They did a trial after everyone was told to take it, and it's on the market.
mark and the data on this bivalent booster you guys you guys really good showing excuse me that is uh you can't say you guys anymore and the data on this bivalent booster you guys is really good showing 52 percent efficacy in symptomatic covid that stinks 52 percent 52%!
We're number one!
Showing 52% efficacy in symptomatic COVID-19.
So remember, that's not 52% effective in preventing us from getting infected at all.
No, that's zero.
It's just severely ill.
Zero.
And that's really important.
That is estimated to result in saving thousands of lives due to COVID-19.
You can't prove a negative.
This is a book.
What she said, you can stop that.
It's almost over.
Don't tell me what to stop.
I'm going to play the last six seconds.
Still time to get boosted, but the data looks pretty good on this new bivalent booster.
Sorry you're bored with my one minute clip.
What she's saying is the thing doesn't work.
And they think it prevents hospitalization or whatever.
52%.
Based on what?
You can't prove a negative.
Unless you're doing a double-blind test, you can't prove that.
Unless you take the exact same individual, split them in half, and give one the shot and one the other, let them both get sick and see which one gets the worst of it.
Can't be done.
The data's in you guys.
Why are you even questioning it?
33 second tag.
Now I know these were self-reported results.
What does that mean as far as the accuracy goes?
Well, so self-reported VAERS reports, no good.
Self-reported trials for Pfizer, Good!
Well, I mean, now you're thinking like an epidemiologist.
It's important because, obviously, when self-reporting is in there, there can be bias, there can be what's called collection bias or selection bias.
But still, right now, it's just important for us to get data on how these vaccines and boosters are behaving in the real world and analyze that data and report that data.
So, bottom line, it's really holding up pretty well against the new variant.
I don't know how she draws that conclusion at the end.
Okay, bottom line is great.
Actually, that finish of hers sucked.
That's what I'm saying.
She said she's going to come out to promote this thing and she can't say it works pretty good.
She can't do that.
She's got to come out again as a consulting company.
Yes.
She should have come out and said, it's unbelievably effective.
Yes, it's so crazy.
And safe.
Yes.
By the way, when are they going to make the switch?
You know they're going to do it.
You can't keep saying safe and effective, safe and effective without reversing it at some point in the future.
So it's effective and safe.
Oh.
We haven't seen that switch yet.
Why are you expecting this switch?
Because you have to at some point.
People get immune to safe and effective, safe and effective, safe and effective.
And you have to reverse it.
To get them off the rhythm and so they're not questioning authority.
And they're not questioning safety.
So it's effective and safe.
Yeah, I think that's a good point.
If we were advising them, that's what we'd say.
Time to make the switch over.
They would have already switched.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Kidding me?
We'd be billionaires.
Although, they'd be playing a longer game than we can imagine.
This could be going on for decades.
And it's at the five-year point they'll switch it.
Five years of COVID.
I think there's a final one.
Dr. Anthony Fauci retired, as we all know, but he didn't... He's not in the picture.
He's retired.
There's no possible clips from him after January 1st.
No.
Except for the CBS interview.
In a very, very rare case, some of the mRNA vaccines can cause a self-limiting Almost invariably benign.
Almost invariably benign.
Inflammatory response in the heart which generally resolves in a very short period of time.
It is very, very rare.
When you compare that With the negative effects on the heart by myocarditis or pericarditis, which is inflammation of either the heart muscle or the covering of the heart, and heart failure and heart medical problems, overwhelmingly COVID itself causes that in a dramatically higher rate than the relatively benign mild myocarditis that you might have.
With a vaccine, which is very, very rare.
Oh, wow, man.
He switched the plot.
He switched it.
Yeah.
You get it from COVID.
OK, let's start.
Go back.
Go pre-vaccine.
What did COVID do?
It caused those cytokine attacks.
It caused you to drop dead because you couldn't breathe.
Ventilator!
Put them on the vent, do this, do that.
And then you find later steroids would have done the trick instead of the vent and you would have kept the patient alive.
But those were the early treatment specialists who knew what they were talking about.
So now all of a sudden myocarditis starts to show up in the population long after the vaccine was released.
Not before, but after.
Yeah, oh, we learned the word!
I didn't even know the word!
Yeah, I didn't either, and you're right.
Myocarditis and the other one, periocarditis, were both brought into the lexicon after the vaccine, attributed to the vaccine, and now he changes it.
But they still have to throw something out there to keep the conspiracy theorists interested, excited, and talking.
ABC.
A new study finds autism rates are spiking across the country, tripling in New York and New Jersey since the year 2000.
The study found doctors are getting better at diagnosing the disorder in kids with average or above average IQs, but researchers acknowledge unknown genetic and environmental factors may also play a role in the increase.
One report found 83% of the risk comes from genetic factors.
Well, this is new.
How do we have a population that had a certain percentage of autism and has always been kind of stable and all of a sudden the genetic structure of the entire society has changed to such a degree that this is the problem?
I would say that, you know, there's a big red herring in this because the term autism Is, as we know, according to DSM 5, 6, whatever we're at, it's a spectrum.
So the idea, I think, is everyone is on the spectrum one way or the other, and we got a drug for you.
Oh, you have autism.
This is what the prescribers will be diagnosing.
You have autism, here's a cool drug for you.
I think that's more at play than, well I mean, autism has increased at astronomical rates with the 71 vaccines that are on the schedule.
I know, I'm an anti-vaxxer, fine.
But I'm just looking at that data.
But this to me says, because the whole spectrum thing, I'm on the spectrum, look at me, look I get twitches, Tourette's.
I'm on the spectrum.
Tourette's is probably on the spectrum.
I'm on the spectrum.
So I need a drug.
I need a drug.
I need a drug.
They try to put everybody on the spectrum.
I guess one of the schools or something tried to put Theodore.
I'm neurodivergent.
I'm sorry.
Wait, someone tried to do this to Theodore?
Yeah, which is a joke if you've ever run into this kid.
He just runs around like a maniac.
He's high energy.
He pays attention to everything.
He's just the opposite of anything I've ever thought of.
He's autistic.
He's not quiet, that's for sure.
And so they got pissed off about this.
And I might say that you are no help to calming him down.
I'm sure you are goading him into all kinds of stuff.
Oh, yeah.
That's what grandfathers are supposed to do.
What's the latest you've done?
What's the latest I did?
Well, first, besides the Russian car crash stuff that he really likes.
You didn't tell everyone about that.
You told me off-air about that.
Oh yeah, so he wants to watch TV, and they don't like him watching TV.
So I put him on the TV.
Check this out.
And so then I go to YouTube, which you can get on the regular TV, and I said, let's watch this.
And I find a good long Russian car crash video.
The dash cam, the dash cam.
The dash cam, yeah, Russian dash cams.
And so he's watching this with me.
They're watching it.
And he says, oh, wow, look at that.
He's all jacked up about some of these wrecks.
And so, well, the parents weren't real pleased with this.
No, of course not.
But the next time he comes over, he says, hey, granddad, can we go watch some more Russian car crashes?
I want to be, when I grow up, I want to be a granddad just like you.
Oh, you will be.
I hope so.
Yeah.
Bring me, bring me your grandchildren quickly.
All right.
A couple more here.
This is Meet the Press.
I think he's, he's a little bit out of the loop.
Our, my friend, Osterhof, Osterholm, Osterholm.
This is, yeah, with Chuck Todd, Meet the Press, Michael Osterholm.
What's a realistic COVID policy when it comes to testing, masking, and physical attendance by workers?
Well, let me just say at the outset, my goal is to see everyone get COVID twice a year in this country.
Nice.
But have it be nothing more than a common cold like Elvis.
Did he say what I thought he said?
Oh, yeah.
He wants everyone to get COVID twice a year?
Look, he... Why do you think he wants that?
He knows that the vaccines are not effective and probably not safe.
I mean, they're effective and... Did he actually say...?
Yes!
Listen, because he... Don't you understand what he's plugging?
Here it comes.
Just listen.
It's only 33 seconds.
Oh.
What's a realistic COVID policy when it comes to testing, masking, and physical attendance by workers?
Well, let me just say at the outset, my goal is to see everyone get COVID twice a year in this country, but having it be nothing more than a common cold-like illness.
That would be really a victory.
So what we're trying to do right now is eliminate severe disease, hospitalizations, and deaths.
If you're going to be in public places, wear good respiratory protection, N95.
And if you do get ill, make sure you get medical care immediately so that you can avail yourself to the antivirals.
Pax Lovid!
Pax Lovid, he's promoting Pax Lovid!
So they're giving, oh wait, so now this guy's a spokeshole, we know that for a fact.
Yeah, there he is, Pax Lovid.
So he's a front man.
So he's actually pulling back from the vaccines.
Yeah, because, well, because... He wants you to get, I thought he was just misleadingly saying this.
No, no, no, no.
So he wants you to get COVID twice a year and then use antivirals.
Antivirals.
I don't even want to get a cold twice a year.
Why do I want to get COVID twice?
Why would I want to get sick?
What's wrong with me that I'm getting sick twice a year like this?
What's wrong with you, comrade?
Seriously.
I mean, that's his dream.
It is his dream.
You should fulfill his dream.
The comrade has a dream.
And so does Bill Gates.
So he's out on the road again.
This, I think, is from his Australia trip.
And he's explaining why these vaccines don't work.
But don't worry, we're going to fix it.
It's easy.
I'm Bill Gates.
We think we can also have, very early in an epidemic, a thing you can inhale.
That will mean that you can't be infected.
A blocker.
An inhaled blocker.
We also need to fix the... Oh man!
An inhaled blocker!
It's like... It's... It's mask in a bottle!
I'm thinking of the promotion.
No more!
And... Mommy!
I don't like this 895!
I can't breathe!
Don't worry, Timmy!
We've got mask in a bottle!
Telling you, MIB.
An inhaled blocker.
We also need to fix the three problems with vaccines.
The current vaccines are not infection blocking.
They're not broad.
So when new variants come up, you lose protection.
And they have very short duration, particularly in the people who matter, which are old people.
And every one of those things is fixable.
In fact, doing that work is going...
Oh, why does he laugh when he says that?
Doing that work?
I didn't hear it.
Play it again.
Okay, so he's talking about that they're fixing it.
They're fixing it.
Doing that work.
And every one of those things is fixable.
In fact, doing that work is going to help vaccinology very, very broadly.
Doing that work.
So it's no work?
Or it's a lot of work?
Or it's expensive work?
Or he's already done the work?
I would get that one.
Why would he laugh about that?
That's all I have from COVID.
Do you have anything?
You've got to fix your rubbers, man.
Nothing that's going to top that heart thing you were off on.
You didn't fix your rubbers again, did you?
I've got to call you and remind you to do this.
It's so annoying.
You are right.
You are totally right.
We need to take a break.
If this is a time to stop the topic.
I didn't see if there was anything close.
No, I do, uh... No, let's do this after the break.
I do have a real news story.
Oh, well, ladies and gentlemen, if we're talking about real news, then... Where's my back to real news?
Here it is.
And now, back to Real News.
We'll get back to Real News in a moment after I say... After the break.
In the morning to you, the man who put the C in the new hit television series, Meet the Comrades!
Ladies and gentlemen, here he is!
Please say hello to my friend on the other end, Mr. John C. DeBore!
He pushes a button to get this effect.
Good morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry.
In the morning, all ships of sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air.
I do it with my voice.
All the dames and knights, uh, foot in the ground, boots in the air, and dames and knights out there.
In the morning, to the trolls in the troll room, I do push a button for that.
That is correct.
Trolls have been active today.
I wonder how many there are.
Now, if you don't know what a troll is, go to trollroom.io and you'll find out pretty quick.
You can listen to the live stream 24 hours a day.
It's the noagendastream.com.
It folds right in there.
In fact, you heard me on it earlier, coming back with the echo.
But it's 24-7.
There's all kinds of shows on there.
It is, in fact, the best podcast network in the universe.
Uh, no ads or anything.
No creepy money anywhere.
Let's see how many trolls we got here.
Let's count them all.
What is a good Sunday?
2100.
2143 today.
There you go.
2143.
All right, Trolls.
Very nice.
Multiple new apps can alert you to the live stream when the bat signal goes out.
You find them at newpodcastapps.com.
It's Podverse, we have CurioCaster, we have Podcast Addict, and more coming.
It's a new format that has kind of Kind of been invented in a way, in an odd way, where people are doing podcasts live on a stream, just like we've been doing for more than a decade.
It's almost like our live studio audience.
We have a chat room and you record it and then it's the same app that you get the podcast in.
It's a beautiful system.
We need to thank the artist, let me bring this up here, who bought us the artwork for episode... what was it?
Hold on, why did I screw that up?
1524, we titled that one Climatarian, which is a real word, we didn't even know it.
The artwork for this was a huge hit.
This was a runaway smash from Correct Da Record, the No Agenda Eat Your Dog dog food, People were posting replies with memes of dogs looking very frightened because that's what did it.
It's the face of the dog on this packaging.
There was other good stuff we'll talk about in a minute.
I kind of know what tool he used to make that.
It warped.
It was fantastic.
Now, neither of us noticed And I'm still uncertain if it was a spelling error or intentional.
The side of the packaging, which you do in a typical No Agenda artwork fashion, you put our names somewhere, Adam Curry and John D. Dvorak.
For Dog.
That's what I thought, but was that intentional?
I'd correct the record nose better, so he probably was intentional.
I think it wasn't.
The way he commented on it, I kind of got the feeling it was an accident.
It could have been.
But neither of us caught it.
That's the thing that's nuts.
Yeah, well, there you go.
They've got high editors.
It's amazing they can do their job.
Well, the way it works is right after the show, the artist... They've got us the best dog cast.
I think that's funny.
The artists have been busy making art during the live stream.
It's already come in.
There's already a number of pieces there.
Um, so that's really how the, uh, how it works.
And if you go to no agenda, art generator.com, you can see all of them, all that were submitted.
This is a lot more than we can use for obvious reasons, except for, uh, Dreb Scott with our chapter images on those new apps.
Um, and I mean, there was one other, I think it was the chicken that was a chicken.
Chicken chips was the competitor.
And that's the first one we chose.
Actually, we chose the chicken chips.
And then we kind of looked around some more and then it lost out.
We could not help that the dog just made us laugh every single time we looked at it.
The dog is funny.
This is funnier.
Yeah, it was laugh out loud funny.
And so I used the excuse, I said this when we did the discussion, I said, I'm going to say...
I'm gonna say it.
Yep, go say it.
Nestworks would have won with the chicken chips if the chips were photographs as opposed to drawings.
So like a real bag would be.
Some chicken, chicken, processed chicken chips.
So the plastic chicken chips.
Yeah.
But that's a great piece.
The plastic chicken chips was outstanding.
So we like that too.
But the eat your dog was just, it nailed it.
Thank you very much to Correct the record as well for the Sorry, John, NTD is cool cake from the artist.
That's correct the record.
He throws down an awesome piece of art, and I said it, don't use that word lightly, but then also just makes a little thing just to say hi.
Maybe that was programming.
I'm going to butter him up first and apologize for NTD.
Well, that would work if we looked at the artist's names as we looked at the art.
But generally we don't.
Good point, good point.
We look at art, pick the best piece, and then we... And you bizarrely, bizarrely said House of Shims was interesting, but... I like the House of Shims a lot.
It's not, you can't even see any of it.
Not legible, it's completely, for art, unusable.
It was, I just thought it was hilarious.
Yeah.
Was there anything else that we considered?
I think that was about it.
I think that was about it.
The tank paper scissors, didn't quite get it.
I liked it, but didn't get it.
Yeah, that's it.
Correct the record.
Thank you very much for participating.
I know that you got a lot of congratulations.
And it was just one of those where you just... I look at it right now and I still have to laugh.
I cannot help myself.
Congratulations with your win.
Well deserved.
And thank you to all the artists who do this out of love.
Love and kudos.
That's what they want.
As part of our value for value system, we don't take any commercial advertising money from creepy corporations, only from you, the producer.
We call you a producer because we don't discard you as a fan, or an audience member, or a listener.
No, you produce the show, you have a responsibility.
To send us information when you know about it and there's something that's in your wheelhouse, which invariably happens to you once or twice in your lifetime.
And you've got to send that to us.
You can also participate in other ways, websites, anything that we need that would cost money or manual labor.
And finances, of course, is also incredibly important.
That is the treasure of the trifecta, time, talent and treasure.
And we're going to thank our executive and associate executive producers right off the bat.
As we kick it off with Gene Harris.
Wow.
Who's in Winter Park, Florida.
$1,525.
A show club donation!
$1,525, a show club donation.
That has not happened in months.
Oh, thank you, Gene Harris.
Baron, I should say.
In the morning from the Baron of the Backwardation and Contango.
Time for a quarterly show number donation.
See, I told you months.
It was probably him the last time.
Trying to cheer up John, who seems a bit down this month.
A Klaus Schwab jingle would be nice.
Do we have Klaus Schwab jingles?
No, but we definitely need one.
Um, let me see, uh, Schwab.
You would eat bugs would be, what do I go for?
I have, uh... Happy Schwanza.
No, that's not him.
Schwanz.
Here we have Schwanz.
In Zermalding... Here we go.
In Zermalding... We have that.
What else do we have from Schwab?
Klaus Schwab?
No, no, no.
Uh, do we have Schwab bugs?
I don't think we have bugs.
No.
Do we need one?
Eat ze bugs?
Let me see, maybe... Eat ze bugs.
Do we have eat ze bugs?
Eat ze... Wow.
Eat ze bugs?
No.
Sorry.
Don't have... We need eat ze bugs.
We need a good eat ze bugs.
But, uh... It's a morning... In the morning will have to suffice for now.
Otherwise, no karma, no jingles.
All right.
Thank you very much, sir.
Sir Otaku's next on the list.
He's in Flower Mound, Texas.
I've been there.
Really?
$100,000.
There's a little something to show my support for the best podcast in the universe.
Sir Otaku, Duke of the Northeast Texas in the Red River Valley.
He must be getting close to Grand Duke, I think.
Oh, something.
He'll let us know.
Thank you, Sir Otaku.
Well, at least Archduke, he should at least hit that pretty soon, that's for sure.
Duke of the Northeast Texas in the Red River Valley.
No agenda shows!
Go ahead, sorry.
Go ahead, go ahead.
So we were discussing changing some of these limits?
No, correction.
A producer suggested it, and I forwarded it to you, and you said you wanted to discuss it.
We weren't discussing anything.
Well, we do our meetings in real time, so we actually... What we're discussing now is our meeting, yes.
Yeah.
Okay.
What was the note?
He said that maybe... He did the numbers.
He ran the numbers.
He ran the numbers, and he says the $1,000 knighthood donation in today's dollars, after 15 years, has become worth $1,275.
Yeah!
Yeah!
We've been cheap!
He says he thinks it might be appropriate After running the numbers because of inflation to change the knighthood donation to $12.75.
And I'm just throwing that out there for discussion.
But now we'll continue with the reads.
I have one.
It's not a discussion if I don't get to say anything.
Well, it seemed like it to me.
I'm okay with adjusting that, but not until we can put it on our new website.
Oh, that's coming up in the first quarter.
Okay, so that's when we can talk about it.
That would be necessary.
We can't just change it without changing the website.
But I think people should be aware that it's up for change, and get in while you can.
Ever the marketer.
Well done, sir.
No Agenda Shop.
We don't talk about them often enough, I would say.
No Agenda Shop is a great little outfit that we have no paperwork with, no agreements, just like everything else with the No Agenda Show.
The No Agenda Shop will work with artists who put up the art on the aforementioned noagendaartgenerator.com.
And we'll sell them at noagendashop.com.
Now, the only thing we say is don't put our heads on anything, because, you know, that's just weird.
We don't want that.
But anything with No Agenda, anything you guys want, do whatever you want.
Just, you know, if there's some money, then send off a donation to the show.
So from time to time, No Agenda Shop comes in.
Now, they make sure the artists are paid from whatever sales come in.
And here we go.
$941.75.
Thanks for keeping our relationship free of paper and ink.
Tax season is here and it's no fun.
What is it?
Check out shopdfrnt.com for the personal artwork I create with my wife and new podcast Karma as I work on releasing my very own pod!
You hurt me by saying that.
Minus 10 points.
Really?
I mean, we should send the donation back after that.
Shop dfrnt.
Shop different.
Shop different.
Ah, there you go.
I have not looked at it yet.
A new podcast, Karma, for you.
Of course I'll give that to you.
You've got Karma.
I think he put the pod thing in there just to... Of course he did, just to irk me.
As a gag.
I know, I know.
By the way, if you need t-shirts or hats or mugs, this is the place to go.
Yep.
Graham Wolfe in Wichita.
That was No Agenda Shop.
I think it's just noagendashop.com, isn't it?
Yes.
Graham Wolfe in Wichita, Kansas.
You'd think he'd put that in there.
62334.
Adam and John, this is a contribution from my father.
I'm finally able to claim a knighthood on my birthday, January 29th.
I'm not sure he's on the list, but he might be.
I'd like to request hatch green chili salsa.
It's a brand, Hatch, I believe.
Hatch Green Chili Salsa for the round table.
Well, Hatch Chilies is a brand, right?
The actual chilies are called Hatch Chilies.
Oh, they're Hatch Chilies.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't know if that's a brand or a sort, but I've had them.
They're spicy.
Thank you both for your courage and passion and long live the best podcast in the universe, Graham Wolf.
It's on the birthday list, you know?
I was just about to check, and what do I see?
Yes, on the list.
Yep, of course.
Her back office is rocking it.
What do we have here?
Joe McSweeney.
Yes, Joe McSweeney, Chicago, Illinois.
Hey, John Adam, long-time boner, first-time donor, could you please de-douche me?
You've been de-douched.
You've been de-douched.
With my PayPal donation of 341.88, paid with a credit card, giving me 2.5% cash back.
Woo!
I could no longer resist getting a prestigious 333.33 producer credit.
Could I get a Sharpton Resist We Much and a Jobs Karma from my smoking hot girlfriend Heidi?
Of course, thank you for all you do, Joe McSweeney.
But resist we much.
We must and we will much.
About that, be committed.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
Now we go on with Renegade 6 in Caldwell, Texas.
334.32 and he says seed donation.
Now, I... We look for this.
Oh, um... I have it.
Oh, you do?
Okay, good.
But it's like...
I don't know why I didn't forward it.
I think I was confused and I ended up not sending it on.
It's possible.
It's possible.
ITM John and Adam, I'd like to wish my smoking hot keeper Sparkles of Chaos.
That's a great name for something.
Sparkles of Chaos.
Sparkles of Chaos!
A happy birthday.
January 30th with the gift of her first installment tour Damehood.
I've been listening since Adam went on Beck.
Third Beck donation.
Third one.
And after the keeper repeatedly asked, what are you listening to now?
I hit her in the mouth.
Can you imagine people picking this up sometime in the future and reading these things?
Oh, these people are brutal!
It's almost like Neanderthals!
We listened to every show together, and she started making art about a month ago.
When Adam played the Dire Straits-inspired I Want My NTD jingle, we went out to make an MTV-inspired art submission.
Well, art is a mirror, and John saw no NTD.
Bring on the Robo Reeds.
I don't know.
I'm confused.
So what they did is they apologized and they want N.T.D.
Everyone wants N.T.D.
back.
That's what's obviously happening.
N.T.D.
is popular.
We all want it back.
Oh, New Tang Dynasty.
I'm thinking of N.T.F.s.
Okay.
What are N.T.F.s?
Bring on the robo-reeds.
Bring on the robo-reeds.
Please switch a 333 and a Yak Karma to Sparkles of Chaos and I'd like to reserve 0.99 for a generic Chinese de-douching.
Please keep up the good work.
You know, we never put the Chinese one in play.
Renegade 6, Caldwell, Texas.
We have the Chinese de-douching and a Yak Karma.
You've been...
What?
I love it.
It's good.
That was pretty good.
It's on deck.
That was de-douching in Chinese, or Mandarin, I guess.
That was exciting.
Next, we have Simon Miller from Kellogg, Idaho, 333.34.
In the morning, John Adams, since my Bidenflation double credit donation for episode 1500 on November 2nd, I'm sending you some additional value for value from the Idaho Panhandle.
I believe this should get me to knighthood!
I would like to be Sir Sab of the River Valley, and I find this... Silver.
Oh, Sir Stab of the Silver Valley, and I find the standard offerings at the round table more than sufficient.
I, like many others, heard Adam on Rogan multiple times and thought, Rogan donation.
Is that the MTV's Adam Curry?
I was an 80's, 90's kid.
I was also a regular twit listener before they went full rogue.
And I was always a big fan of Dvorak when he would join that pod.
Oh!
Stab me.
My only regret is not checking out No Agenda sooner.
Anyway, you guys restored my faith and common sense, especially during the plandemic, and I'm grateful that I've been hit in the mouth multiple times.
I also continue to pay it forward.
Of course, I'm listening to Adam's latest visit to the Rogan podcast.
I was inspired by Adam sharing his faith.
Good stuff.
I'm grateful for you both and your appetite for deconstruction.
I totally want that t-shirt.
Hello, noagendashop.com.
Since my initial donation was for episode 1500, which was engulfed in all of the other incredible value for value, I'd love a de-douching to make it official.
If I could also trouble you a little further, I'd like an R2-D2 karma.
Thank you both for your courage.
You've been de-douched.
You've got karma.
Okay, very nice.
Sir Mike, San Diego, California, 333.33.
No jingles, no karma.
Cheers, 333.33.
Okay, very nice.
Sir Mike, San Diego, California, 333.33.
It is, without a doubt, one of our favorite donation amounts, certainly for executive producer.
This donation is for my amazing wife, Dame Monica's birthday, January 31st, which will be celebrating with Dame Kelly of the crushed grapes around the fire pit.
And plenty of Austin Hope and other California Reds.
Stay safe, keep up the great work, keeping us saying, Go Podcasting!
Go Podcasting!
P.S.
I've been listening since before the roundtable.
You guys are inspirational.
Love, love, love the show.
Nice, thank you.
Anna Biscontine, or Biscontini, in Port Byron, Illinois.
No note, but she came in with 3-3-3 and gave her a double karma.
You've got... karma.
You wanna take the next one?
I'll take the next two.
Oh, alright.
Lucid Map in Bristol, Tennessee.
Keep it up.
Chemtrails.
Chemtrails.
By Anne Rand.
Bill Nooney in Parker, Colorado, and he want me to read this note because his wife is a fan of mine, or his fiancée, his lovely fiancée.
In the morning, gentlemen, this donation is a switcheroo birthday donation for my lovely fiancée, Dragana.
Pronounce, pronounce Dragana.
Avarokic, Avarokvic.
This is a, I believe, a Croatian name.
Ah, yeah.
And it could be, Croatian women all are gorgeous and I'd say the model for them is, you go to Croatia and you'll see so many women that look identical.
Like, wait, I thought she was dead.
Natalie Wood.
They all look like Natalie Wood.
Oh, wow, good observation.
Yeah, it's quite noticeable.
Yes, yes.
Uh, her birthday is on 1-29.
Could you please add her to the birthday list?
Also, could you please de-douche her?
You've been de-douched.
I love you, Dragana, and I cannot wait to be your husband.
We both started listening after Adam's first Rogan appearance.
Rogan donation.
Rogan donation.
And we both donated.
Stop!
Stop the show!
What do you mean it's getting old?
You're welcome, John.
You're welcome.
However, her donation was a full switcheroo for me on Father's Day.
John, you are her favorite.
That's not getting old, by the way.
No, never.
Love and light, no jingles, but please, we need some house-buying karma if you could spare some.
Thank you both for everything you do.
Soon to be Sir Hockey Goalie 303.
All right.
That makes me have to stop here.
This woman probably is gorgeous because in sports, and you don't follow as close as I do, it's a well-known fact That all the sports guys have kind of stereotypical women that are always attracted to them?
The hockey guys, for some reason, and no one can really figure it out.
Yeah, they got hot women, don't they?
They have the hottest of the hot.
How hot are they?
They're hot.
They're hot.
Anyway, donation amount, actually 303 is our area code, Denver Metro, and 30 is the number I wear on my jersey.
Okay.
I'll pick the next two.
That's Curry's number.
Oh, that's right.
How's buying karma?
Almost forgot.
You've got karma.

They're dumb.
Yeah, the question is why did they get rid of it?
Their phony baloney excuse?

We'll never know.
Somebody just hates the Brazilians and the Portuguese in general.
We'll never know.

Thank you all very much.
It doesn't matter, but we'll get it straightened out.
Someone will get it straightened out.
Thank you all very much for supporting the best podcast in the universe.
Thank you to everyone who came in under $50.
We do not mention those for absolute anonymity, but also that is where you can support the show with your recurring donations.
You can choose any amount you want.
We have a couple of fun ones that you can check out as an example.
Also, this is our value for value methodology.
This is what we've been doing since the beginning of this program we've never taken commercials and For that very reason you can count on us to be here because we love being here because you're supporting us unlike Podcast exclusives at Spotify who are in trouble Spotify are just filed fired 600 people most of them in the podcast business and What do you think?
Yes.
600 people is a lot of people.
What do 600 people do there?
Nothing anymore.
One of these 600 people was Dawn Ostroff.
She was in charge of all talent and podcast acquisitions.
She comes from Hollywood.
And we learned upon her, now she left herself to pursue other opportunities with her family, of course.
She was making $9 million a year, our Dawn Ostroff was.
So, that would probably be a nice little, you know... I would any time.
Yeah.
So, the issue, of course, is that Spotify does not make a profit.
The music companies are raping them.
They thought they could do with podcasting.
If they'd ever asked me, I would have said, hey guys, it's not a good idea because you can't monetize the network.
That's why we don't do it.
And if you want to support us, go here.
Thank you once again for bringing the heat.
Value for value for $15.25.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth. Order. Order.
Shut up, slave.
Shut up, slave.
Final go karma for anybody who might need it.
Here it is.
You've got karma.

And thank you again for supporting the best podcast in the universe.
No agenda meetups.
As we were talking about those, no meetup reports, by the way, for today.
As we were talking about the party for socialism and liberation and the comrades, there's something to that.
There is something about coming together and being in a group that can be used for good or for bad, obviously.
I don't support the idea of the comrades.
However, Joining a No Agenda Meetup, you will be amazed how well you fit in with this group, no matter who you are, no matter where you come from.
There's something about the community of No Agenda.
You can find it all at noagendameetups.com.
And when you have that connection, when you are connected with people at a No Agenda Meetup, I can tell you that connection is protection.
You never know when you might need someone.
Thank you.
I got a chuckle!
Connection is protection.
noagendameetups.com.
Today, the Vivid Iceland and No Agenda Downtown Meetup takes place, or took place, in Reykjavik, Iceland.
I look forward to it at Lebowski's Bar.
Look forward to a Meetup report from that.
Tomorrow, the Elk Grove Final Monday Meetup, 5.30 at the Pacific Waterman Brewing in Elk Grove, California.
We have the Thursday next show, Stroke Season Awareness Meetup.
Yes, it is stroke season.

The Hui Hui by the Nile Cairo Meetup!
I'm telling you, the Plenty Deli in Zik Zayed, Egypt.
We are bad.

Connection is protection.
I should mention that they, when I was going on about this, uh, the fiancee Dragana.
You won't be triggered or held to blame.
Yes.
You want to be where everybody feels the same.
It's like a bar.
Connection is protection.
I should mention that when I was going on about the fiancée, Dragana.
Yes.
She could be Serbian.
Where's Melania from?
Isn't Melania from one of those countries?
She's in Czechoslovakia, I think, isn't she?
Oh, by the way, Czechoslovakia, do you see that they have a new president?
Yeah, they're having issues there.
Yeah, but he's an ex-general.
You always want the military guy to run the country.
It's got to start somewhere, and then we get Germany involved, and France and Germany go at each other.
I only have one ISO today, so I'll get it out of the way.
Off the bat.
This is like an op.
That's all I got.
A little weird.
I didn't even hear it.
Yeah, I don't know where the audio is.
This is like an op!
Did you hear it there?
No, I mean it's just like I heard some mumbling.
You don't hear this is like an op?
Oh, well it's not, yeah.
Hold on, let me jack it up for you, bro.
Oh, let's see.
The audio is horrible.
I should have tried to filter that.
Really low.
Yeah, I should have tried to filter.
That sucks.
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
This guy got two.
Maybe one of these is good.
Isohope.
It's an act of hope.
Okay.
And then OMG.
Oh my god.
It's an act of hope.
Oh my god.
I think oh my god is...
It's an act of hope!
Oh my god.
I don't know, that's kind of out of context.
Which one do you like?
I'll leave it up to you.
Don't get mad.
That'd have to go with oh my god.
Okay.
Oh my god it is.
Uh, let's see... Well let's do, wait, we gotta tease the... Tease what?
We tease the, uh, Real News.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Ladies and gentlemen, as promised before the break... I gotta get to my jingles.
Ladies and gentlemen, as promised before the break, we're back!
It is time!
And now, back to Real News.
Yeah!
Real News on Deck!
So Amy Robach, or whatever her name is, was on ABC Good Morning America.
Who is this?
That black guy we're having an affair.
Who is this?
Who is Amy Robach?
Who is this?
She's the one, I'll tell you after you play the clip.
Real news.
By the way, just as a warning, this came from TMZ, so it's a little livelier than usual.
T.J.
Holmes, done, finished, gone.
No longer connected to GMA, ABC, their faces off the coffee mugs.
Thursday, they had marathon negotiations, mediations between themselves and ABC.
During the talks, described to us as extremely contentious, ABC accused T.J.
and Amy of all kinds of misconduct, and not just their little dalliance.
They also said that Amy would frequently have liquor in her dressing room.
Well, that is a problem.
But one source calls the accusation ridiculous, adding that sometimes these bottles are sent as gifts by executives.
I mean, having liquor in your dressing room is one thing.
Was she drinking on the job?
There's an accusation from 2022 she went to the national championship game and came back the next morning and was still drunk.
It was a special moment about three hours ago when I went to sleep.
And it was a special moment when I woke up.
She seems like she's been up all night.
But that doesn't mean that you're drunk.
You're tired.
This is an affront to you, isn't it?
Well, because it's offensive.
I mean, it does seem like they were just bringing out every little thing they could.
For their part, Amy and DJ said it's a total witch hunt, that they are being specifically targeted.
So who are these people?
Well, if you watch Good Morning America, you'd know.
But this one guy, TJ, is a really good-looking black guy who's apparently screwed everybody in the company.
And they wanted to get rid of him because he's becoming a potential problem.
Liability.
A liability.
She, there was real no reason to get rid of her except for some, and nobody brought this up.
I listened, there's a report went on and on.
They're speculating this way and that way.
She's the one who went on the open mic.
And talked about, and you'll remember this, talked about that they had the goods on Jeffrey Epstein years before.
Yes, of course we know who she is.
Yes, of course.
And she blasted, she said it was spiked and she named names.
Get rid of her.
And once that happened, this was about over a year ago that this open mic incident came into play, but you know how it works.
Wait for the opportunity and and then yeah, you think it was that news story was spiked?
You're spiked!
That's right.
You're done.
You're burnt.
You're toast.
So they got rid of her and used him as the excuse.
I have a quick one.
I have four relatively short clips in a row, relatively, but they're also from the last show.
I think it's important that we highlight what's happening in Africa.
Africa is It's about to get raped by everybody.
I mean, it's already happening, but now we'll start hearing about it.
What's new?
I know what's new, but there's players all over the place.
Here's a Deutsche Villa Africa report.
Of course, we need to, you know, just to ease you into it, it's COVID.
Over to Senegal, where African nations have been presenting their plans to improve food security to development banks and international organizations.
In hopes of easing the continent's worst-ever food crisis.
Getting special attention calls for more funding for agriculture among African countries, as well as greater support for small-scale farming.
You kind of understand.
When you hear this, you know, okay, people are coming in.
The three-day summit in Dakar comes as the pandemic, the war in Ukraine, and inflation have all ravaged global food chains and sent prices surging.
The UN says more than 50 million people in East Africa alone face acute danger from hunger and malnutrition.
Alright, I'm joined now by Lawrence Haddad.
He's executive director of the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition.
That's a Swiss foundation launched more than 20 years ago at the United Nations with a focus on malnutrition.
Lawrence, thanks for coming on to the show.
First of all, how dramatic is this situation in Africa?
It's dramatic!
Hello and good to be with you.
I've never seen it this bad in my career, in my life.
It's the numbers of hungry people have risen dramatically since actually before Covid and before Ukraine.
They were on the rise from 2016 onwards and where they are now is about 800 million people suffering from hunger, which is about the number we had Woo!
COVID, climate, and conflict!
Ooh, I like it.
The big three.
COVID, conflict... No, a climate.
A climate and conflict.
has turned back to talk about 15 years.
COVID, climate, and conflict.
Ooh, I like it.
The big three.
COVID, conflict.
No, climate.
Climate and conflict.
Wow.
See, that's why we had to play.
I remember there was something in it.
COVID, climate, and conflict.
So let's see, what can we do?
Wait, he says, first of all, he says it hasn't been this bad since 2005.
But before that, he prefaces with he's never seen anything this bad in his whole career.
Okay, maybe he was a paperboy or something.
That's exactly what's going on.
So there's all kinds of reasons they're being made up to visit Africa.
And so that was Senegal, I think.
Where's George Clooney?
Shouldn't he be reporting on this with his satellite?
I think Clooney's been retired.
Guess who went to Africa?
When you're in the middle of A financial crisis, because we have inflation everywhere.
It's really hurting everybody.
Who would you send to Africa?
Why, Janet Yellen, of course.
U.S.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen... This is Africa news.
...concluded her tour of South Africa on Friday with a visit to Emalaleni, a coal mining town which produces most of the coal South Africa relies on to... Ah, we're in a coal mining town.
That's interesting.
She called on robust training and re-evaluation of the coal industry for a reliable transition within the economic framework of South Africa.
Facilitating a transition that leaves no one behind requires job retraining and re-skilling like we saw today.
It also requires the redevelopment of former fossil fuel and power sites and investments in infrastructure to support the development of new industries What do you think?
What are the chances they're going to be mining for something else that Janet needs?
She further said that the U.S. was committed to ensuring that existing workers were skilled in order to find work opportunities in the renewable energy sector and at the same time addressing the massive unemployment in the southern African country.
That's why we're here today. - Yes.
We're here from the government.
We're here to help, Africa.
Hello!
Good to see everybody!
That's why we're here today, is to see the ways in which, partnering together, we're able to see a path by which, to start with, South Africa has had Very high youth unemployment but we certainly want to make both address that and certainly make sure that the transition doesn't leave workers and the next generation of young people behind.
The Biden administration has been re-initiating its ties with Africa given the infiltration of the Russian influence in other African countries lately.
South Africa was the last leg of Janet Yellen's tour which included visits to Senegal and Zambia.
How cynical and sick is it that Janet Yellen is in Africa saying, hey, you've got high youth unemployment, this is a real problem.
In America, he's like, we've got to raise interest rates so we can get more unemployment!
You're sick, Janet!
You're sick!
Speaking of Russia, BBC News reports.
Now Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has arrived for talks in South Africa.
Oh!
They're all in South Africa!
Everyone's so creative!
The two nations are firm partners and Pretoria has refused to condemn Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.
Let's cross to Pretoria where our correspondent Pumza Falani is following this meeting.
And Pumza, big economic ties between Russia and South Africa.
Tell us more about those and how those Ties are driving the response to the war in Ukraine by the South African government.
Wow!
Wow!
So you're tying Ukraine, and you're tying climate change, and Yellen's there, and Lavrov's there.
There's something going on!
Certainly.
In terms of the balance sheet itself, South Africa's economic ties with Russia aren't that big.
Some people have suggested, actually, that it's more the historic ties that are driving this continued closeness and coziness that the that South Africa has with Russia.
This is because they both sit on an economic group known as as BRICS, which includes Russia, India and China.
And it's through that BRICS grouping.
Some people believe that South Africa has had to play this neutral stance so it doesn't upset its bigger brothers at the table then.
They're also saying though that they're hoping to use that bricks because it's part of the reason it was formed is to try and use it as a kind of economic engine for these countries and the region.
So South Africa is trying to play its cards carefully there.
But there has been some disappointment, I should add, especially on the part of Ukraine, of how South Africa has treated this war and its refusal to flat out condemn Russia's invasion of their country.
Okay, so there's a lot happening between the West and Russia.
And Deutsche Welle has a story, very short, of Germany's Africa aid strategies.
Well, Germany's Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development says it wants to help African countries make their economies more climate friendly.
Other priorities listed in the ministry's newly unveiled Africa strategy ...include improving social and health services and making the agriculture sector less dependent on foreign-sourced seed, fertilizer, and pesticides.
And as populations grow, the ministry says quick action is needed to stave off mass migration events, new conflicts, pandemics, and higher global carbon emissions.
Sounds a lot like the COVID climate and conflict meme.
The three C's are rolling out.
And of course, like good Americans, we're here to help you, Africa.
Let's see, Somalia, what can we do for you?
We're going to go overseas now, where military officials say the U.S.
has conducted a risky raid in northern Somalia, killing a senior ISIS leader and several other militants.
Our Chief Global Affairs Correspondent, Martha Raddatz, has the latest.
Good morning, Martha.
Good morning, Michael.
This morning, the elite American special operations team that carried out this dramatic raid in Africa is safe and back at their base.
They're safe and effective.
Pentagon says a top ISIS leader and at least 10 ISIS fighters are dead.
The raid was launched in darkness.
U.S.
helicopters descending on a cave complex in northern Somalia.
The special operations team had hoped to take the ISIS leader Bilal al-Sudani alive, but the Pentagon says the Americans were met with intense gunfire, making that impossible.
President Biden gave the final approval for the risky raid before it was launched.
The team had been practicing for weeks using mock-ups of the target area and making practice runs similar to what was done when Navy SEALs killed Osama bin Laden in 2011.
The Secretary of Defense this morning saying no civilians were harmed in the raid and the operation leaves the U.S.
safer and more secure.
That's right.
Thank you, Somalia.
You got to blow some shit up in your caves.
We're safer.
Africa is a target and it's a new theater of war.
We're concerned about China and Taiwan and Japan.
It's going to be fighting in Africa.
Well, I don't have any clips, but I've been hearing a lot of clips that are just not clippable about how the Russians are moving into Africa.
Yeah, it's a problem.
It's like, okay, and I understand the BRICS thing.
That's been a long established consortium.
But I think it was the Germans or the French or somebody bailed out of one of the old French colonies just this last week, and the Russians moved in.
I don't remember the specific colony but it was one of the old French ones and they all speak French there and the French left and the Russians moved in.
I haven't done anything looking into this because I still can't figure it out.
I don't know what's going on.
Are they replacing the Chinese?
The Chinese are still taking over their place.
There's something up.
But you're right.
Something screwy is going on.
Did they find something new?
Well, it's about resources.
We gotta get resources.
But that's not new.
No, but we haven't focused on it.
We're all over there in Ukraine.
We gotta help the poor Africans.
More money, more stuff, more gear.
Maybe it's all the military-industrial complex.
I don't know.
Could be.
Could be.
What else you got?
I got a few things if you want.
What else do you have, if anything?
Well, I've got a couple of things on the Philly schools and their gay policies and what's going on there.
There's a little back and forth.
Let's play these.
These are kind of interesting.
The gay agenda is in play in Philadelphia.
Is it gay or LGBTQ?
Is it non-binary or is it 100% gay?
I don't know.
The U.S.
Department of Education is investigating whether a suburban Philadelphia school district is creating a hostile environment for LGBTQ students.
The district in Bucks County adopted policies earlier this year that restrict library books and what teachers can display in their classrooms.
From Member Station WHYY, Emily Rizzo reports.
Over the last six months, the Central Bucks School District has passed two controversial policies.
One that prohibits books with sexualized content, and one that censors classroom decorations and discussions that have to do with advocacy.
The fundamental mission of schools is to promote student achievement.
Board member Deb Cannon said at the most recent board meeting, that the advocacy policy ensures materials are appropriate for the district's 17,000 students.
Education should model an important element, neutrality as an academic virtue.
The policies are about protecting children from indoctrination, says parent Vana de Armand, who spoke at another board meeting.
Can you be certain and can you guarantee that these books and those passages and those pictures, those graphic pictures are not being used to groom?
To create these policies, the school board, which declined interview requests, worked with the conservative evangelical independence law center associated with the family research council.
That organization is an extremist hate group, according to Andrew Seidel of Americans United for Separation of Church and State.
He says it targets LGBTQ people and wrongly characterizes them as pedophiles.
It is going to be imposing this anti-LGBTQ Christian nationalist ideology on public school children.
And that is a huge problem.
Yeah, I mean, it's so clear to me that the Eagles have to win the Super Bowl now.
We've got everything going on there.
I mean, this is the city of brotherly love!
So this is really about taking down the pride flags that are in these classrooms.
Yeah, that's it.
No.
If you look into it, it's really about taking these- That's hateful!
That's hateful!
That's hateful!
And somehow that's hateful.
Yeah, it's hateful.
Uh, but let's play part two of this.
This has never been about neutrality.
It has always been about extremism.
That was always a sham, but it's been proven beyond a doubt.
Parents like Viswanathan fear the policy's chill classroom conversations.
Opponents like middle schooler Mackenzie Junkin say both policies target LGBTQ materials, like pride flags and books with queer characters.
It's just, it's scary to think that the world doesn't want you to be here for whatever made up or insignificant reason.
WHYY has learned that four books with LGBTQ storylines are now being reviewed for possible removal.
Policies like these are becoming more common in school districts around the country.
although many have been overturned by courts.
This week, a few days before Holocaust Remembrance Day, a Central Bucks high school principal told librarian Matt Pisek he had to remove posters that quoted author and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel because they violated the district's advocacy policy.
Having to take it down was a very powerless feeling.
The Wiesel quote read, in part, we must always Always take sides.
Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.
I felt like I was not just letting down students, but my daughter.
I'm like, you know, I want her to be proud of her dad.
After a social media uproar, the principal reversed his decision and Pisek papered the library windows and doors with copies of the V-Cell quote.
Still, the Central Buck School District continues to defend its neutrality and advocacy policies.
Well, at least it's clear what this is.
A bunch of extremist nutjobs.
Anti-Semites.
Everything's nuts.
It's just a strange situation.
Well, I don't find it strange at all.
This is what's been going on all over the country.
It's been going on for longer than I like to imagine, which is why I find it strange.
Uh, we also have, is this where we're gonna be on the gay beat for a second?
John, it's not the gay beat.
It's the LGBTQ beat.
Yeah, you're right.
So here we go.
In fact, I shouldn't be using gay.
I should, but might as well just go with the flow with PBS and use the word queer instead.
The FDA today announced plans to ease a decades-old restriction preventing men who have sex with men from donating blood.
It's men who have sex with men.
A lifetime ban was put into place during the AIDS epidemic over fears of HIV transmission.
The new guidelines would ask all potential donors about their recent sexual history instead of singling out queer men.
Any potential donors who had anal sex in the last three months with new or multiple partners would not be allowed to donate.
Anyone taking medications to prevent HIV infections would also be deferred for a period of time.
For more on this, I'm joined by Cole Williams.
Did I hear this right?
Anybody now, I guess there's no exceptions, unless you have some other blood disease, if you're queer, or if you're a man who has sex with men, as long as you haven't had anal sex for three months, you're good to go?
Is that literally what she just said?
It's what she said literally.
Wow.
Well, she didn't say literally good to go, but wow, is this a self-testify thing?
Probably.
Anyone taking medications to prevent HIV infections would also be deferred for a period of time.
For more on this, I'm joined by Cole Williams.
He founded the organization Pride and Plasma last spring to bring attention to this issue.
Cole, welcome, and thanks for joining us.
We have to point out, for over a generation, gay and bisexual men have been shut out from donating blood as freely as anyone else and fighting for the rights.
When you think about this moment, how important is it right now?
This is critical.
It's critical.
Wow, fighting for their right.
My takeaway is that, and Judy's left, and they got these two new hosts.
Yeah.
I believe both of them are gay activists.
This woman is one of them.
It's possible.
And that's why she's so adamant about saying fighting for their rights and gay and queer men.
She never says gay men ever.
She says queer men.
They're queer.
And I would say that go back 25 years and use the word queer men instead of gay and you're going to get somebody to give you the stink eye.
But now it's what you say.
At least.
And yeah, at least.
And so she and I think they're both They're not admitting it, but I just believe, I think that PBS NewsHour has slowly evolved into a gay broadcast.
Wow, queer, can we just call it, can we call it a queer broadcast?
It should be queer, I'm sorry, it should be, it's a queer, and it's better to be called queer.
Queer's better.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to QBS, the queer broadcasting system.
Yeah.
Wow, wow, wow.
I'm just noticing this with the little intonations, like the way she pronounced that word, the way she uses queer men.
Sure, sure.
And her attitude about a lot of stuff I've seen.
In fact, the whole show is very skewed.
Well, this is your beat.
I think it was triggered when they brought in Capehart, the openly gay columnist and associate editor of the Washington Post.
You're on the queer beat, my friend.
Well, I don't like to be on the queer.
Oh, I'm sorry.
You brought it up.
You're on the queer beat.
There may be a third clip here.
That's, uh... Well, that's your beat, so I would expect no less.
Well, I think the way things are going to shake out are going to be this clip, which is the SL Salt Lake City school choice bill, which is causing nothing but trouble.
A bill to help give students an education outside of public schools is one step closer to becoming law.
Today, the Senate Education Committee passed House Bill 215, which includes a raise for teachers and money for students to be homeschooled or to go to a private school.
New Specialist Matt Rascone is at the State Capitol tonight where there is a bill, sorry, a rally tonight against the bill.
Right, Matt?
Yeah, Dini, and the rally is just wrapping up, just in the last half hour or so, but you can still see people lingering, and the message on the wall, which is that they are, that they're calling this a public indictment on the public education system, this bill, that is, and the bill's sponsors have pushed back on that, and we heard in today's meeting many who are for and against it.
A scholarship fund like this one would have been a life raft.
I know there are other families like mine who are desperate to help their children, but lack the resources to do so.
Education should be fully funded before we even begin to funnel tax dollars into the private sector.
This bill will further devastate funding for our public schools, which are already stretched thinner than any other state in the union.
Now, the bill would pull $42.5 million from income tax revenue.
That revenue helps fund public and higher education, but it can also be used to support children and people with disabilities.
The Senate Education Committee spent nearly two and a half hours on this bill today.
It would set up a scholarship worth $8,000 for students to attend private school or homeschool.
And it's attached to a pay increase for public school teachers.
Supporters say the bill offers more customized options for students.
Opponents have argued the public education system already offers options, including immersion programs, online programs, and charter schools.
And we talked to the Utah Association of Public Charter Schools about this.
They said they are neutral on this bill, but in favor of school choice.
Oh, I get it.
The problem here is if you can't homeschool your kid, you have to be in one of our programs.
Yeah.
Ha!
Well, they're going to pass this bill.
Well, people are going to start leaving.
And it's going to be the beginning of the end for the education system around the country because... Yes.
...once they see the results.
This is... Wait, wait.
Finish your thought.
Finish your thought.
Once they see the result, what?
Everyone's going to start doing this because there's going to be a public outcry against the rest of what's going on in the education system.
I'm not going to try to sugarcoat it, but most parents, not all, but most parents, especially parents who are just middle class and working class, don't want their kids indoctrinated into a gay lifestyle in grammar school.
They just don't.
Shocking.
Or would it queer?
I'm sorry, I said gay.
Yeah, I'm going to, so it's less triggering.
You're on the QB, so you don't feel so bad.
QB.
You're on the QB.
I wanted to bring one thing up.
One of our producers sent me an article and said, oh, that makes so much sense.
No, it's been my opinion that the reason TikTok is being taken down by Congress, or trying to, is because they are winning.
They're beating everybody.
They're in Silicon Valley.
Google especially.
Google search is really suffering because people like to search for things on TikTok.
It's often the talk of TikTok, as you heard earlier.
It's the talk.
And, you know, so can I prove this?
Well, yeah, I hear everyone saying that they want to have the the algo like TikTok.
That's what Instagram wanted with their reels.
And, you know, and and the aforementioned Google, you know, has a problem with people just going get answers there that they like, which is a 30 second video.
Look at this great restaurant!
But the real kind of proof that TikTok is cleaning up is a Wall Street Journal headline.
TikTok is still hiring as competitors shed jobs.
CNN.
As Meta and Twitter slash staff, TikTok plans to keep hiring.
There it is.
Wow.
You're right.
That's the summary right there.
Exactly.
It'll be whoever... I mean, if Google had balls, which they don't, they would take TikTok off the Android app store.
But they're not going to do that, because they know that everyone will rush to an iPhone or anything else.
The people are hooked on... My sister, Willow, she is doing her dissertation on... It's online psychology.
I forget what it is.
She's going to kick my ass for not knowing.
She's getting a PhD?
I believe so, yes.
Well, good for her.
Yeah, but it's specifically in algorithms and how that affects and influences people.
She worked for an Amazon-related company for a long time, so she's very familiar with this.
And then she decided to get a degree in it and be super smart.
And I think retired with some nice, cushy university job, as she gets.
We're all getting older.
Like, I need a backup plan.
I don't want to work this hard.
I want some tenure.
So she's, uh, she's been studying that.
And she says, you're going to send me this, uh, this dissertation.
And apparently it's a, she says, you are absolutely right about the, about TikTok cleaning up.
And, and she has the, she will have professorial or whatever, uh, documentation as to why the algo is better and, and maybe even a bit as how it works.
So I'm excited to hear from my, my sister, smartest one in the room always.
You know, it bothers me.
What?
Assuming your thesis is absolutely correct.
These companies, they've developed in such a way that they're non-competitive.
In the olden days, if you had somebody that was kicking your ass in some business that you're in and you've been in for years and you know the ropes, you just out-compete them.
Yeah.
But no, no, they're whining.
You're a bunch of whining guys.
And they go, oh, no, we can't compete with this.
You have to do something about it, government.
Yeah.
Well, how did this happen?
Where did this evolve to?
How did it evolve?
I think it had to do with the Silicon Valley switch from being largely Republican in the old days of mostly hardware.
In other words, all the chip guys, they were all Republicans, the guys with the Rolexes.
And all of them.
And the ones who gave Ayn Rand to all of their employees.
And they were all Republicans, and they all wore Rolexes, and they were different.
They had a different, and they were competitive.
Their nature was competitive.
Correct.
These guys, which are all Democrats, in fact there was a study done, I think I was listening to somebody's podcast about this, that 99.5% of every Netflix worker identifies as a Democrat, and most of the companies have 98, 95 to 97, same with Twitter.
How do you get that many Democrats in one company when the population around you is not that proportion?
You do it by being discriminatory.
That's how you do it.
And because they're all filled with the woke, their idea of competition doesn't exist because the woke aren't competitive.
I'm going to make an executive decision here.
I hope you'll agree with me.
We should stop saying Democrats and the woke and just call them what they are.
Comrades.
Communists.
No, they're comrades.
The comrades are in.
The comrades don't want to work too hard.
The comrades feel that until they own the business, because, you know, workers should own Google, not the billionaires, that comrades are just going to rock the boat.
Well, they're not.
The nature of these people, these comrades, as you like to call them.
Yeah, I like to call them comrades.
Are not, and they're not even necessarily Democrats.
I mean, per se.
No.
But they are.
Only after the COVID shot.
Again, I'll just go back to my original point.
People used to compete their way out of this.
You'd find better algos.
Google, Sergey Brin, when he was on my Silicon Spin show once, he told me, he was on it quite a bit.
He told me, of course now I can't get a hold of him.
He told me, hey, I don't need you.
He says, we have more PhDs at Google than any company in the world.
And I believe that's true.
And if these guys are so smart, why are they being pushed around by TikTok?
Yeah.
Because they were spending too much time at the meeting with their other comrades.
I don't know.
They missed the boat.
You know what happens?
MySpace was the biggest thing ever.
It was never going to change.
It was the future until it wasn't.
So was AOL.
So was AltaVista.
It happens, it's time to go.
But no, now we've got so much money and we're so embedded with politics, we're going to try and scam our way out by screwing people.
It makes it easier because it's related to China, of course.
It's a phenomenon that, you're right, it does repeat.
AOL is one of my favorite examples because AOL should have been Facebook.
I don't see any reason why it couldn't have been.
Well, because that's not always how it works.
And for a moment in history, it locked up those keywords and it had the internet at bay.
It did.
And there was a moment where the internet was one thing, AOL was another, and they were competitors.
And people were thinking AOL is the way to go, including Apple, who came out with its own system.
What was that thing called again?
Electronic.
It was Electronic World.
Was it Apple Inc.?
No?
No, no.
It was something else.
It had a very distinctive name.
Somebody in the... Oh, someone in the troll room knows what this... What was that called?
Better remember.
It lasted for like six months.
No, it was over a year.
Well over a year.
May have been a couple years.
But it was right in the throes of... Q-Link?
Was it Q-Link?
No.
iWorld?
iWorld?
No, it wasn't E-World.
I think it was E-World, wasn't it?
Trolls don't know crap.
E-World.
I think it was E-World.
Maybe it was E-World.
Was it E-World?
It wasn't E-World.
It wasn't Prodigy.
We know that.
Yeah, E-World.
No, Prodigy's another one.
They all came along thinking they were all gonna... Prodigy was Sears.
It was owned by Sears.
It was three companies.
Sears was just one of them.
I think eWorld is right.
It was a loser eWorld was.
Oh, eWorld, yeah.
But eWorld came up in the game.
Around the Newton time.
Wasn't it around Newton time?
AOL was kicking such ass.
It was totally kicking ass.
It bought Time Warner, for God's sake, which is unbelievable.
That was great.
And it was like, it got so much attention away from the internet, which was already in play, and the browsers were out, and that Microsoft decided to clone it with MSN, which is originally an AOL clone.
They tried to make it into the... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then eWorld came along, and Prodigy came along, so you had all these guys in play, and they all dropped the ball.
I'm right.
Here it is from the Book of Knowledge.
Based on a similar service from America Online, eWorld was expensive compared to other services, not well marketed, and failed to attract a high number of subscribers.
The service was only available on Apple's Macintosh and Apple IIgs and had limited support on the Newton message pad.
Nailed it.
Yeah, uh, it was, uh, the people of eWorld, the users were known as ePeople.
Hello, ePeople!
I'm gonna call it, John.
Let's, let's get out of here.
Now we've devolved into talking about ePeople.
It's time, time to leave.
Well, we got some exciting stuff coming up right next.
Up next.
Right up next.
Coming up now.
