	He kills dogs!
	Adam Curry.
	John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, February 2nd, 2023.
	This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1526.
	This is no agenda.
	Celebrating 33 days of 2023 and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6 in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley where we're celebrating Groundhog's Day.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	Wait a minute, did you say Groundhog's Day, seriously?
	Did you say... instead of Groundhog Day?
	We have two of them here.
	Ah.
	Yes, Punxsutawney Phil predicts six more weeks of winter!
	There's another one, there's a different Groundhog up in Canada.
	That's another good reason to call it Groundhog's Day.
	Oh, is that Le Groundhug?
	No.
	Yeah, the Groundhog.
	Or the Groundhog-eh-day?
	Eh-day-eh?
	There is a Groundhog.
	He's got a name.
	I think he's a drunk dude.
	No.
	Wait a minute.
	This is our gig.
	Punxsutawney Phil is our dude.
	He's been dead for years.
	Movies been made about him.
	But it was Canada trying to weasel in on our action.
	No, it's a groundhog, not a weasel.
	They have a groundhog up there.
	Somebody in the chat room, you'd think, the troll room, you'd think would know the name of this animal.
	Toronto Timmy?
	I may have written about him in a past newsletter.
	Toronto Timmy?
	Something like that, but I don't think that's it.
	Toronto Tony.
	Montreal Monty.
	Hey, you guys are just trolling.
	I'm not helping.
	You're trolling.
	This is what we get.
	Montreal Monty.
	I gotta write that one down, actually.
	That's almost a show title.
	And now there's the one, Montreal Monty.
	Montreal Monty.
	Actually, see, no one had... Canuck Chuck.
	Okay, alright.
	Alright now, alright.
	Show title.
	Yeah, Canuck Chuck.
	It's not bad.
	Not bad.
	I don't have any clips, of course.
	Silly me.
	About what?
	Of Punxsutawney Phil.
	Who cares?
	That's right.
	We've got real important things to deal with, like the Super Bowl.
	Just in time for Super Bowl party preps, a chicken wing embezzlement scheme.
	A school food service director near Chicago is accused of using school money to order 11,000 cases of wings worth $1.5 million, but they were never served.
	The scheme was revealed when an audit found food costs were way over budget.
	I mean, this is the stupidest story I've heard all week.
	What were they trying to communicate to me?
	The Super Bowl coming?
	Is it on ABC, the Super Bowl?
	Uh, I don't know.
	I think it's on NBC, or I don't know.
	Fox maybe?
	Fox?
	Oh, this was an ABC report.
	I'm just trying to figure out why would they give me a report that doesn't tell me what happened to the money?
	Other than the guy just stole it, but what does that have to do with the Super Bowl?
	Yeah, this is what you get from the mainstream.
	There's a lot of... There's a screwball.
	I have a screwball.
	You're talking about corruption?
	I got a screwball one.
	Same thing.
	Similar thing.
	Now about the Super Bowl.
	This is about Waters.
	Maxine Waters has got a scam going.
	Fox News is reporting that California Democratic Representative Maxine Waters has continued a practice of transferring campaign cash to her daughter.
	This, to run a profitable operation during the 2022 election cycle.
	NTD's Daniel Monahan has the story.
	Daughter Karen Waters allegedly received over $190,000 from her mother's campaign.
	It was reportedly to keep her in... Oh, you're back with NTD?
	I heard that robot voice!
	There it is!
	Endorsement mailer operation afloat between January 2021 and December 2022.
	The system works by outside campaigns paying Waters campaign to appear on the endorsement mailers.
	Those are then sent out to constituents in the Los Angeles area.
	The practice is reportedly unusual at the federal level.
	However, Fox News reports that endorsement mailers, also called slate mailers, are commonplace in her home state of California.
	Critics say the practice of one campaign paying another for support in an election is misleading.
	Waters received permission to use the system from the Federal Election Commission in 2004.
	Since that time, Fox reported that Karen Waters received over a million dollars in payments from her mother's campaign.
	The practice has also been lucrative for Waters' campaign.
	Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign sent over $30,000 to Waters for endorsement mailer placement in 2010 when seeking the California Attorney General spot.
	Then in 2016, Harris paid around $30,000 more to appear again while running for the U.S.
	Senate.
	Meanwhile, Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom reportedly paid Waters $45,000 while running for Lieutenant Governor in 2010, and former Senator Barbara Boxer spent a combined $33,000 in 2010 and 2018 on the mailers.
	This is great!
	I didn't know this.
	So you can actually scam your fellow congressmen and senators and everything.
	They're scamming each other.
	Yeah, I know.
	Oh, this is good.
	This is good.
	Well, that'll never change.
	Not in California.
	Alright, but let's go back to corruption because what is probably the most corrupt country in the world, if I had to ask you just offhand?
	California?
	No country.
	Oh, Ukraine.
	Tell us a bit more about this anti-corruption push.
	Is this really just about joining the EU?
	No, it's not just that.
	That's a big part of it.
	This is France 24.
	This is their Ukraine expert, some kind of douchebag.
	That guy that I hear is an expert on everything.
	He's a utility player.
	They bring him in as everything.
	Bring that guy.
	Bring Bingbaldi in.
	A major part of the anti-corruption drive and a major part of why we're seeing such a crackdown right at this moment.
	Yeah, so Zelensky is now cracking down on corruption in Ukraine.
	...time when Ukraine is in an existential war of survival with Russia. Look, this has been an ongoing struggle for a long time. Thank you.
	Zelensky campaigned on getting rid of oligarchs, the richest, you know, people who controlled most of Ukraine's wealth, had monopolies over all of the public sector, practically.
	Has he gotten rid of that Burisma guy?
	The one that we know is corrupt?
	With Hunter Biden?
	I don't think he's gotten rid of that guy.
	Campaigned on getting rid of them.
	Campaigned on removing, ridding public life of graft, of the misappropriate graft.
	No, graft.
	Does he mean grift?
	No, graft.
	What's graft?
	Oh, that's funny, you didn't know that word.
	I, no, honestly.
	Graft is like the word from the 40s for corruption.
	Well, but isn't grift the current word for corruption?
	No, no, grift is different.
	Grift is like a scam.
	Graft is like an overall, it's literally corruption.
	I am looking at the definition.
	It's a shoot or a twig, a piece of living tissue, A transplant?
	I'm not finding graft as corruption anywhere.
	That's funny, because it should be in there.
	It should be like one of the top definitions, but I think it's old-fashioned.
	Yeah, I see.
	It has a Wikipedia page, not in the dictionary.
	Political corruption.
	An American English form of political corruption defined as unscrupulous use of politicians' authority for personal gain.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I don't think it's funny.
	I didn't know that.
	I think it's it's no I think it is because it shows that there's some point because when your age yeah there's some cutoff point where people of course you were I don't know or you weren't watching enough movies from the 30s I'm not sure anyway why this guy use it is is it's weird to me.
	Campaigned on getting rid of them, campaigned on removing, ridding public life of graft, of the misappropriation of public funds, which was rampant in Ukraine, as elsewhere in many places in the East, and Russia also, obviously.
	And then when he came to power, he continued this drive.
	Um, however, it has taken on sort of extra crucial, vital urgency right now, and that is simply because he is in a battle to prove to the rest of the world, A, that Ukraine has shed its reputation as this sort of den of corruption, rampant corruption, widespread corruption.
	Oh, wait a minute, I thought I'd never heard this since the war.
	The war.
	And he also has to convince at a time when the West is in danger of having war fatigue and perhaps not keeping the flow of heavy weapons that Ukraine so desperately says it needs coming.
	He has to prove that he's good for his money.
	He has to prove that if his Western benefactors and donors, his Western allies, continue to send military aid, financial aid to the tune of tens, of billions of euros and dollars, that he's going to be good for it, that it's not going to just sort of vanish into the corrupt ethers of Ukraine's public life.
	Yeah, so let's hang a couple of guys up and that'll convince us.
	So he has to prove that he's good for the money, he has to make sure that pipeline keeps going, and he has to prove, because it's part of his EU accession talks, it's already a candidate to become an EU member.
	He says accession, isn't it extension?
	I'm sorry, maybe I'm just Maybe it's just all me today.
	Accession?
	It's derived from the word ascend.
	That would be ascension.
	I think that's what he said.
	Because it's part of his EU accession talks.
	Accession.
	I heard something.
	Oh, he says he got an X in there for someone.
	Accession.
	It's already a candidate to become an EU member.
	He has to prove that corruption is a big part of becoming a member.
	Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
	Whoa!
	Corruption's a big part of becoming a member of the EU?
	Yeah!
	That's what he said!
	It's already a candidate to become an EU member.
	He has to prove that corruption is a big part of becoming a member.
	Convincing the EU...
	Yeah, well he nailed it.
	He nailed it!
	Now all of a sudden this guy is the best analyst in the world.
	He went from a douche to my favorite.
	We can't wait to hear more from him.
	Speaking of graft, Zelensky is using his political power.
	It's a thinly veiled threat.
	The Ukrainian president warning against the participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes during the 2024 Olympics.
	As we prepare for the Paris Olympics, we must be sure that Russia will not be able to use it or any other international sports event to promote aggression or its state chauvinism.
	Didn't we even have everyone participating in, like, during the war?
	We had the 38 Berlin Olympics.
	the 38th Berlin Olympics.
	Didn't we have an Olympics during World War II?
	No.
	No?
	That was before...
	Yeah, the 38 was before.
	Well, this is also before the World War III.
	Well, this is like, who's this guy calling these shots for?
	It's none of his business.
	What is Russia going to do, walk down there with a carrying sign saying, screw Ukraine?
	I don't get what he's trying to say here.
	Zelensky is not saying anything on his own behalf.
	This is about Macron.
	Because the Olympic Games are being held in France.
	So I think this is to noodle Macron because he's not exactly on the team to promote aggression.
	Oh, this is right.
	Yeah, and a couple of – wait.
	Yes, Macron is not on the team.
	And also, Macron is not an idiot because they're going to – these Olympics bring in a lot of money.
	Yeah.
	And there's Russian money in these kinds of celebrations.
	It's way beyond the pale.
	They really know how to live it up.
	They spend money in France.
	Exactly.
	Promotes aggression or it's state chauvinism.
	Last week, the International Olympic Committee indicated that there could be room for Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete.
	It said it was necessary to explore a pathway for their participation under strict conditions.
	One of these is that they would not be allowed to represent their countries, a proposal that's failed to please either Kyiv or Moscow.
	I would like to underline once again that any attempts to squeeze Moscow out of international sports are doomed to fail.
	This is the Russian spokeswoman.
	This should be understood by those who say they stand for high moral principles and the separation of sport from politics.
	She appeared to be taking a stab at French President Emmanuel Macron, who in the lead-up to the World Cup in Doha had called for not politicizing sports.
	Oh, well, yeah, there you go.
	There you go.
	Everyone was, oh, no, Doha.
	Don't pay no attention to the killing of the gays.
	Don't politicize Doha.
	That's football.
	But Olympics, nah.
	Hmm.
	Macron under fire.
	Macron under fire.
	He's got some problems.
	Well.
	Yeah, he does.
	You know, former Ukrainian president, what was his name, he was Poroshenko, Petro Poroshenko, was interviewed by the BBC.
	That should have been good.
	Yeah, well, I have a very short snippet, but it kind of says it all.
	This is about the Minsk agreement.
	Oh yes, the Minsk agreement was the, which we didn't really discuss much, but that came up as a kind of everybody's signing on to, let's don't do any, just don't get carried away here, let's sign off.
	And I think it was, and we'll see if he mentions this, it was Angela Merkel.
	It wasn't necessarily on a hot mic, but it was on some podcast or something.
	She says the whole Minsk agreement was a phony.
	It was just designed to keep everybody getting ready to go after, to set this Russia-Ukraine thing up.
	Did we have a clip about that?
	Do you remember?
	It's a while back.
	I'll look in my archives.
	Minsk update.
	Newland.
	Minsk update?
	Let's see, maybe Minsk update.
	Mass security forces have disrupted a demonstration by women in the Belarusian capital Minsk.
	A human rights group said at least 15... Newland touts U.S.
	commitment to Minsk agreements.
	No.
	That's probably worth playing, whatever it is.
	Okay, this is from 2015, so this is after the Maidan.
	I come after Sochi to make absolutely clear the U.S.
	commitment to the full implementation of the Minsk agreements, and to make clear that we are eager to deepen our involvement in helping the parties achieve full implementation.
	Well, what you said about Merkel, though, that's a good one.
	I wish we could find that.
	I don't see it.
	But Poroshenko completely... I'll dig it up.
	Say again what you think it was that she said.
	The idea was that the Minsk agreement was put together as a...
	A way to stall everything so everyone can get in position and get ready and start building up arms and do everything you have to do to get this conflagration underway.
	You had to stop everything first.
	So the Russians had just moved in and they were just taking the place over.
	So they had to create this phony baloney thing to stall the Russians.
	It was a stalling tactic.
	Former President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko.
	Documents give Ukraine eight years for building up army, for building up economy, and for building up global pro-Ukrainian, anti-Putin coalition.
	There you go.
	Exactly right!
	We needed eight years to get everything in place, get some hate going on for Putin.
	Yeah, get those flags printed.
	And everyone knew about it.
	Get the flags printed.
	And everybody knew about it.
	Everybody knew about it.
	Yeah, no problem.
	They all did.
	According to Merkel, it was just a scheme to stall the Russians, or just put this situation in play.
	I think it didn't work out the way they hoped.
	No.
	And then all of a sudden Boris Johnson's back on the scene.
	Boris?
	Yeah, and he was also interviewed by the BBC, and he had to... I'm not quite sure why he's floating around again.
	Something must be up.
	Because otherwise you wouldn't see him.
	And the BBC interviewed him about Putin.
	And, well, you know, Boris, you know, he was threatened by Putin!
	Threatened by him!
	He threatened me at one point and said, you know, Boris, I don't want to hurt you, but with a missile it would only take a minute or something like that, you know.
	Jolly.
	But I think from the very relaxed tone that he was taking, the sort of air of detachment that he seemed to have, he was just playing along with my attempts to get him to negotiate he said boris you you say that uh ukraine is is not going to join nato anytime soon he said in english anytime soon what is anytime soon
	and i said well it's not going to join nato for the foreseeable future maybe that's what he's out there to communicate that yeah don't worry ukraine's not going to be part of the eu when i said nato oh nato i'm sorry nato Yeah, that's not going to happen.
	That would be insane.
	Although, there's some crazy people out there.
	Very crazy.
	What's the point of putting Ukraine into NATO for it, except to annoy Putin?
	Well, there's so much going on.
	What's the point?
	What is the point?
	I don't know, but I know that the Finns, Finland, is really waiting, and Sweden as well, waiting to be, you know, accepted into NATO, but the problem is Turkey, Turkey, yay!
	Turkey is, Erdogan specifically, is refusing, you know, unless we, unless Finland does, everyone has to do a couple things.
	Finland and Sweden both.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, how about this for a scenario?
	Because there was a good report on this the other day and they had Erdogan say, no, we're not going to let them join because of this and that.
	How about this?
	Because this seems to be a logical thing to do.
	Sweden and Finland don't want to join NATO.
	Oh man, the people do.
	The people are afraid.
	Well, they can be as afraid as they want, but the powers that be, especially in Sweden, they like the idea of being neutral.
	There's a big advantage to it.
	It was good for them in World War II.
	Let's don't get involved.
	How about this?
	Hey, Erdogan, you've got a little leverage here.
	We'll do you a fabulous favor after this is all over.
	Veto it.
	Just don't let us join.
	Well, someone's saying that.
	Well that is Erdogan, he's the one that's vetoed it.
	Right, no, but someone is saying veto it and that may not be Finland or Sweden.
	I don't think so.
	Finland, the Finns I talk to, which is not many, are like, they can't believe that this a-hole Erdogan has not let them in yet.
	Which I think would still not, you know, even if Erdogan's not gonna, he's just not gonna do it.
	It was never the idea, it makes no sense.
	What benefit do we have letting Finland in?
	There's no benefit between Sweden or Finland for anyone.
	I'm sorry.
	There's no benefit.
	This whole NATO thing is shit by itself.
	But let's take it one step further, the EU.
	The current regime in America is out to get the EU.
	It's so obvious.
	We're going to screw you on technology.
	We're going to screw you on climate change subsidies so that we have a much higher competitive advantage.
	We're slowing down chip exports.
	You can kind of go pound sand, do your own thing.
	Lots of stories in the Dutch press about ASML.
	The Dutch government has restricted ASML from exporting technology to China and without the lithography, it's very complicated to keep up in the global chips race.
	But no one has explained why.
	Rutte went to see Biden and he got his marching orders, not from Biden, I'm sure, whoever it was, like, no, no, you got to slow that down.
	But now that company is also like, well, we need to run a predictable business.
	It's very shady, very cloudy, murky.
	They get money under the table.
	Must be.
	Must be.
	Yeah.
	Don't worry about it.
	You'll be taken care of.
	Just do it.
	So everyone's... Louis says you're good to eat.
	Just do it.
	Everyone's messing with China.
	And then to the... There's so much going on internationally.
	All the way to... It's International Day!
	Yes, all the way to Brazil, where, you know, for whatever reason...
	It's like, hey, Brazil, can you help out with this Ukraine situation?
	And Lula, the criminal in charge, is like, nah.
	A warm embrace and a cold shower.
	The German chancellor's trip to Brazil was more of a roller coaster ride than expected.
	Olaf Scholz traveled to the South American country to welcome it and its new president back on the world stage after his predecessor had alienated many of Brazil's Western partners.
	But it won't all be smooth sailing with Lula de Silva either, and he made that very clear.
	Asked to provide military support to help Ukraine defend itself against Russia's invasion, Lula said he doesn't want any involvement in the war.
	Instead, Lula said Brazil and China could play a role in peace negotiations.
	Scholz was hoping to rally Lula's support in providing ammunition for German-made tanks in Ukraine.
	The Brazilian president refused to side with the West and reiterated that, in his view, Russia and Ukraine were equally to blame for the war.
	Now, this would be interesting.
	You know, we're getting set for the end of this thing.
	That's pretty obvious.
	It has to end, you know, we've said... Well, it has to end before we're supposedly going to ship them a bunch of our Abrams tanks.
	The tanks or before the F-16s?
	Well, both.
	I mean, the F-16s, they can ship those sooner than they can ship the tanks.
	But they're not going to ship the tanks.
	I don't think we're going to ship them any of this stuff.
	I was reading the U.S.
	Department of Defense.
	has an email list that you can...
	It's a good list to be on.
	Yes.
	But they basically send out all of their... all the contracts that...
	Didn't we just send another $2 billion or something?
	I don't know.
	Yeah, I think we made it up.
	I'm looking for this email.
	What day is it?
	Is it Thursday?
	Yeah, probably for sure.
	Defense.
	Let me just see if I can find this email.
	Hmm, I should look for that.
	I mean, it's literally half a billion dollars for a maintenance contract.
	I'm sorry, it's 500 million dollars.
	Yeah, 500 million dollars.
	And then another one for 400 million dollars, which was tendered via the internet with one respondent.
	That's the thing that's a scandal with the Defense Department.
	They let these contracts out.
	You get that mailing.
	I get that mailing too, by the way.
	Yeah.
	And it's just loaded with just money.
	But the Defense Department has set up the system over the last 20 or 30 years.
	So there's only one bidder on each one because there's only one guy left.
	He bought all his competition out.
	And so the one bidder can bid, you know, I'll do it.
	He says, next time, can you put it in there, make it $650 because, you know, a little extra cash.
	Oh, here it is.
	I have it.
	I found it.
	I knew I would find it.
	I highlighted two.
	Air Force BAE Systems Technology Solutions and Services, Rockville, Maryland, has been awarded $651,593,380 fixed price level of effort contract modification to previously awarded contract fixed price level of effort contract modification to previously awarded contract with a number there for sustaining engineering
	This contract provides for services to support both the Minuteman 3 and the Sentinel Systems directorates to ensure the integration of current and future hardware, software testing and modifications.
	Are you kidding me?
	That sounds like a scam.
	Now let's go to the army.
	You think?
	You're not allowed to do that anymore.
	That's a bad one.
	Hold on.
	Army, General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc., Scottsdale, Arizona, was awarded $481,578,860 hybrid cost no fee, cost plus fixed fee, and firm fixed price contract for sustainment of profit-enhanced and firm fixed price contract for sustainment of profit-enhanced detecting systems.
	Profit-enhanced?
	Profit.
	P-R-O-P-H-E-T.
	So that's a product.
	Awesome system.
	Bids were solicited via the internet with one received.
	Yeah.
	We are fools, man.
	We are fools.
	Yeah, we're in the wrong business.
	We are definitely in the wrong business.
	It's that kind of stuff, you know, it's like, wow.
	It's typical, not even, I mean, it's not, it's just, yeah, they need to audit the Pentagon.
	Oh, please.
	We know that's not going to happen.
	Meanwhile, 85,000 IRS guys coming online, send them over there.
	It's not that simple.
	You know, they can't hire 85,000.
	I mean, they've got it to the point where it isn't that simple.
	It's almost impossible.
	Beautiful job of it.
	Accounting firms cannot even find one CPA per year.
	So they're hiring monkeys, which is possible, at the IRS.
	I don't think they can hire that many people.
	I don't think they can find them.
	No, I don't think so either.
	Meanwhile, Russian military is now touting and posting that they have 20,000 documents on U.S.
	biowarfare program running in Ukraine.
	Yeah.
	I think this is part of the problem.
	Part of the reason the Russians are in there.
	Oh, wait, wait, wait.
	You think?
	Did I say that?
	No, I'm saying it.
	I'm evening out the score today.
	Okay.
	Yeah, that is part of the problem.
	And the more I think about all this, wow, man, you just got to think that we're complicit in this whole COVID thing, that that came out of us.
	Well, I think it started with us and it ended up I don't know how.
	The story between it getting out at Fort Detrick to Wuhan is the story because I am understanding it went through Canada.
	Oh.
	Wouldn't surprise me.
	You know, so there's a thing about eggs.
	Everyone's noticed the eggs.
	We had a big egg producer, egg farm catching fire.
	There's a story out there.
	That people believe that the feed, the chicken feed has changed.
	I have no evidence.
	Well, there's a lot of people talking about it.
	I have no evidence.
	No, there's no evidence.
	Let me summarize.
	It goes like this.
	They put a guy on YouTube or TikTok, he says, you know, I've been feeding my chickens this new, this Purina feed and they haven't laid an egg for a year.
	A whole year this chicken hasn't laid an egg.
	And I got suspicious.
	So I changed the feed and I gave him some of this and some of that.
	And now they're laying every once a day, just like usual.
	Which could just be a change of feed or, I mean, I want to believe it, but I think it gets much better.
	With this report that is now just circulating.
	This is from PubMed.
	Let me see.
	It looks like mainly Chinese researchers, but it's published.
	I won't give away the title.
	It was published January 2021.
	Abstract.
	The SARS-CoV-2 virus is still spreading worldwide and there is an urgent need to effectively prevent and control this pandemic.
	This study evaluated the potential efficacy of egg yolk antibodies as a neutralizing agent against SARS-CoV-2.
	We investigated the neutralizing effect of anti-spike S1 IgYs, that's egg yolk antibodies, on the SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus, as well as its inhibitory effect on the bindings of the coronavirus spike protein mutants to human ACE2.
	Which, as we know, that receptor is a big part of people getting sick.
	Our results show that the anti-spike S1 egg yolk antibody showed significant neutralizing potency against SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus, various spike protein mutants, and even SARS-CoV-2 in vitro.
	It might be a feasible tool for the prevention and control of ongoing COVID-19.
	Now we've got a conspiracy theory.
	That is a beauty!
	Wow!
	Now we've got a conspiracy theory.
	I'm giving you ten points for that gem.
	Thank you.
	I'll take one point from you.
	There you go.
	One point.
	Isn't that cool?
	And if you need to eat more eggs?
	Oh, then get the book.
	Go download the book for free.
	Which is at TooManyEggs.com.
	Am I saying that right?
	TooManyEggs.com?
	I have an egg story since eggs are going to be a thing of the past.
	What was the title of that thing you said you didn't want to say what it was?
	Oh, because it would give it away.
	The title is Chicken Egg Yolk Antibodies Block the Binding of Multiple SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Variants to Human ACE2.
	Yeah, those kind of reports, you don't need to read the reports.
	Yeah, but I just wanted to give you the abstract.
	No, I got it, I got it.
	A bunch of Chiners did that.
	So, now that we have a real conspiracy theory, it makes nothing but sense that NPR is pushing egg alternatives!
	All kinds of egg alternatives have been cropping up.
	Oh, by the way, if you're at NPR and you're going to do a story about eggs, what is required of you as a quote-unquote journalist?
	Lots of puns.
	Lots of puns about eggs.
	Nothing worse than a pun report.
	Pun report!
	All kinds of egg alternatives have been cropping up.
	Not only freeze-dried eggs, but also plant-based egg products.
	Those are usually soy or bean-based liquids that kind of resemble scrambled eggs when you cook them.
	For the first time last year, plant-based alternatives were cheaper than real eggs, and sales rose nearly 20 percent, according to market research firm IRI.
	I mean, right now, if you can make something that looks like an egg, tastes like an egg, and costs less than an egg, you can make a lot of money.
	But those are some big ifs.
	So I got a few of my NPR colleagues together to try some of these egg alternatives and see if anybody has cracked the code.
	So I scrambled up some plant-based eggs, some dehydrated eggs, and some regular fresh eggs.
	Just a little milk, a little butter, a little salt.
	I put them into separate unlabeled dishes and served them to our egg lovers.
	Everybody liked the fresh eggs.
	Also mostly liked the dehydrated eggs.
	Flavorful.
	Spongy.
	A little spongy.
	But now for the big one, the plant-based eggs.
	This one is super interesting, but it doesn't taste like egg.
	I agree.
	Maybe I'm wrong, but that does not taste like an egg.
	That tastes like potatoes.
	It's messing with my head.
	I don't know.
	I'm not loving these.
	They look a little wetter, too.
	Look a little soggier.
	So for the moment, it seems like the real eggs have it.
	But science is moving fast.
	The first plant-based fried egg has been developed by a startup in Israel, and investors are pouring billions of dollars into food startups that are trying to tackle the egg.
	After all, if egg prices stay high, customers may get really serious about looking for the exit.
	Oh, the exit.
	Oh, the exit.
	Please.
	But you see, this is the trick.
	That was exactly what you're talking about.
	Exit strategy.
	That's what that book is.
	It's a Dvorak family exit strategy.
	Exit strategy.
	So the idea is to make the real food expensive, and then of course people are going to go to the cheap shit, because they're under-informed.
	They don't know what they're doing to their bodies.
	It tastes pretty good, looks the business, got the texture.
	If it's got the right same amount of protein, just eat those!
	Yeah, that's the logic.
	You actually nailed the logic.
	You go down the laundry list of what's got in it and it tastes, it's good.
	I can taste, you know, none of those were good.
	I'm assuming the way they described them, but it tastes good.
	And it's got the laundry list checkmarked.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	It's actually got more protein and more vitamin C. This'll be better.
	It's actually better.
	And as a bonus, you get less antibodies against COVID.
	Yeah, annoyingly.
	It's a bonus.
	It's just win-win-win.
	By the way, the lights are flickering here.
	Maybe that's an explosion.
	Maybe some Transformers blew.
	We have ice-ageddon in Texas.
	Like right now?
	Well, today it's just lifted.
	Tina is on her way to Chirac.
	She is going to see her sisters and her mom, but also she's doing a meet-up tomorrow in Chicago by herself.
	Interesting.
	The Keeper meetup.
	But yeah, we've been basically indoors for a full 48 hours, not able to get out.
	Ice everywhere on the roads.
	A friend of hers was supposed to leave Tuesday.
	She was staying here.
	She's also from Chicago area.
	And we couldn't take her to the airport for two days.
	So it's been... Anyway, Austin, of course, Power outages everywhere because of the ice accumulating on the lines.
	And wouldn't you know it, even in hill country, but after purchasing my generator, for this very situation, our lights and power have not gone down once during this whole thing.
	Of course not, that's the reason you bought it.
	That's what I tell everybody.
	The reason you buy it is the minute you buy it, you never need it.
	That's exactly right.
	It's like getting your car washed.
	Yeah, it rains.
	It always rains.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Exactly.
	Yeah, it's what you want.
	It's a way of getting it to rain.
	But I did see the lights flicker for a moment, so... Well, it generally will kick in.
	Well, it won't kick in before everything goes down.
	The problem is, are you powering, how is your internet powered?
	Well, this is the good news.
	I have multiple internet connections, so if Spectrum doesn't come up, which is what I'm using, I can either use the Elon system, which will be a little less than ideal, because there will be a delay, but I also have two hotspots, one for Verizon, one for T-Mobile.
	Hopefully those don't.
	But if all else fails, I can use the Starlink.
	If all else fails.
	We'll see.
	That's the Elon system.
	That's the Elon system.
	So there would be a delay, but we'd be able to get the news out.
	Important news.
	The way we'd handle it, we'd do it like pros, knowing there's going to be a delay.
	Yeah.
	And we would talk over each other a bit.
	Like pros.
	Like pros.
	Keep it tight.
	There you go.
	Keep it tight, man.
	Keep it tight.
	All right, while we're on bullcrap, this cropped up and we've been doing this show long enough that we have heard of this many times.
	Fox 5 Health News, the U.S.
	now has its first case of super gonorrhea.
	How many times have we heard super gonorrhea?
	How many times have we heard?
	I think this is the third cycle.
	It's gotta be.
	It appears to be resistant to five classes of antibiotics.
	Joining us now is Dr. Rabia Della Torre from NYU Langone Health.
	Doctor, what can you tell us about this new strain?
	So we've now seen two cases in the United States.
	Previously we'd only seen these in the Asia Pacific and the UK and it's been termed super gonorrhea because it's resistant to at least, somewhat resistant to at least five different types of antibiotics that we typically use to treat gonorrhea and so these patients ended up having to be treated with a very strong dose of ceftriaxone which is an iv form of the antibiotic that we already give them
	but it's novel because it's showing what we're seeing in the world in general that most bacteria are developing resistance to the back to the antibiotics we previously used and we're seeing an evolution of what we're calling superbugs so it's quite concerning yeah no right this is something that's sort of been discussed for years the idea that we could eventually get to this moment now this is interesting.
	Did they say variant?
	Variant of this?
	Is it a virus now?
	Is gonorrhea a virus?
	What is it?
	It's a bacteria.
	Well, they said variant.
	Did I not hear variant?
	I don't, didn't appear very... Let me go back.
	Strain.
	Yeah, new strain, there you go.
	Health, doctor, what can you tell us about this new strain?
	So strain would be correct?
	Strain?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Where do we go from here?
	Where do we go from here?
	It's a great question.
	No!
	No!
	Where do we go from here?
	It's a great question.
	We have been using and in some cases abusing antibiotics for the last 70 years.
	Abusing?
	And this is again just a natural evolution of bacteria and viruses and other infectious diseases.
	They want to survive and so what they're going to do is form mutations that help them become resistant to the things that we typically use to treat them.
	And so what we're seeing now is that people with standard infections that we could have just given them oral or pill antibiotics at home, we're going to have to treat them with IV antibiotics or formu antibiotics.
	But you're completely right.
	It's something that a lot of people are scratching their heads about.
	It's a huge threat to global health and it's something that we need to address.
	How about stop screwing each other with the gonorrhea?
	Well, this has been an ongoing complaint long before the show began, over 15 years ago, which is that these drug companies have dropped the ball, and there's a lot of studies about why they dropped the ball, because of the expense, on developing new antibiotics.
	They just don't care.
	They'd rather have boner pills or hair grow pills or things for restless leg syndrome and all these crazy...
	Lipitor and all these other kinds of things rather than antibiotics because antibiotics and a few people that were working on this, I think Abbott Labs or Pfizer, one of the two, shut down their whole division that was working on antibiotics.
	Pfizer doesn't need them.
	Except for the antivirals is what they're working on like Remdesivir.
	Yeah, which is useless.
	It's no good.
	But antibiotics are just getting the short end of the stick everywhere, and so this kind of story crops up.
	But isn't that dependent upon the individual, the individual resistance?
	If you have had a lot of antibiotics as a person, then you'll build up resistance, but just because Other people have done that.
	Does that mean that the antibiotics don't work on you either because the gonorrhea is now supercharged?
	No, it's the bug itself.
	What happens is, the way it's described is that some idiot has a regimen of having to take this antibiotic for 10 days to kill the gonorrhea.
	He takes it for eight days, feels really good.
	Stops taking the antibiotic.
	This is very common.
	Stops taking the antibiotic.
	There's a couple of... Right, but then what happens to the... But the gonorrhea changes and so on, since it's... No, the gonorrhea never changes.
	Say there's a spectrum of gonorrhea.
	This is a biology course.
	A spectrum of gonorrhea!
	There's a spectrum of gonorrhea.
	There's like a million gonorrhea bugs.
	And the antibiotics kill off 99.9%.
	That last few that are still left, are still left because they have natural resistance, but you've done a job, you've basically created an evolutionary technique to build those out.
	So you kill all the ones that aren't resistant, you've left the ones that are resistant alive, and they go on to regenerate and create the superbug.
	Also known as the clap, drip.
	The clap.
	Drip.
	Yeah.
	Ooh, rockin' the clap.
	I'm just looking at the Urban Dictionary, because this is old school.
	Gonorrhea is old school.
	The Jack.
	Nice.
	Tinkler.
	Blue Nachos.
	Blue Nachos?
	Ooh.
	I'm looking for show titles.
	Blue Nachos.
	I don't know.
	Blue Nachos.
	Blue Nachos is Waka Flocka Flame.
	What is this?
	Okay.
	Well, there you go.
	But meanwhile, no one's developing new antibiotics, so you can't, you try, you can't.
	Now, is it possible that just, is it possible?
	That because of over-inoculation of certain so-called vaccines that people's immune systems are depleted as well?
	That's a distinct possibility.
	Because this came up... You can't fight off anything.
	I don't know if you saw this... A lot of people with a common cold.
	Now you're, now you're cooking!
	MSNBC, uh, news model.
	Yeah, this is a good story.
	Yasmin Fosogyon.
	What is her name?
	Fosogyon?
	Fosogyon?
	I can't pronounce her name.
	F-O-S-S-O-U-G-H-I-A-N.
	That is not a TV name, babe.
	You gotta change that.
	Jasmine Voss would have been good, but Voss off y'all know.
	She had quite a story, now it's a little bit long.
	Classic, classic.
	And she had, you know, she had her doctor on for another 10 minutes total, but I think we should just listen to her story.
	She's recognizable, you see her like, oh yeah, I've seen her around.
	She looks also, by the way, that she kind of has the Ozempic face as well.
	I don't know, that just may be coincidence.
	Ozempic.
	May just be coincidence, but let's have a listen to her story.
	Alright, welcome back everybody.
	I know from my Twitter feed that many of you have wondered why I have been off the air for a little while.
	Oh, you know, no.
	Didn't wonder at all.
	But since you say it, since you say it... I was not interested.
	Not for a second.
	Well, I have been dealing with a little bit of a health scare on December 20th.
	I began to feel chest pains and they waxed and waned over a period of 10 days.
	Waxed and waned?
	That's an interesting choice.
	You're under terms today.
	I know.
	Something's bugging me about language.
	I wasn't quite sure what to make of it, but as it continued to get worse, I started to think something was actually wrong.
	It was December 30th when I finally went to an urgent care and was told I had reflux.
	I didn't really buy it, but I was relieved it wasn't my heart.
	My body, though, was pretty certain not to believe the reflux.
	The next day, on December 30th.
	What'd she say?
	Her body was not to believe the reflux?
	I don't know, man.
	Well, you know, this is a, this is classic.
	This is an example of our health system.
	Yeah, go home.
	She's got, I know where this is going, and she didn't have reflux, so why'd they say she did?
	Yeah, good question.
	What kind of urgent care did she visit?
	What is wrong with our health care?
	I didn't buy it.
	It wasn't my heart.
	My body, though, was pretty certain not to believe the reflux.
	The next day, on December 30th, I woke up with severe pains, both in my chest and my left shoulder, and it was like a tightening in my chest.
	I took deep breaths.
	That got worse when I was laying flat.
	I knew enough at that moment to understand that it could mean, could, is the key word here.
	Why is could the key word?
	Having a heart attack especially because it's happening in the left part of my shoulder.
	I want to remind you.
	I was going to respond to that but then I just realized how stupid she sounds.
	What is the point of saying that?
	Could is the key word.
	I'm just trying to deconstruct because obviously she's lying.
	She's lying that all she thought about was, you know, well, what could this be?
	What has changed in my life?
	I'm going to guess she's around 40.
	What has changed in my life recently that might give me some kind of weird physical attributes that I'm not used to?
	It could be anything!
	I knew enough at that moment to understand that it could mean, could is the key word here, that I was having a heart attack, especially because it was happening in the left part of my shoulder.
	I want to remind you, I run seven miles three to four times a week, or I did.
	You should stop doing that right away, lady.
	That's unhealthy.
	Yoga.
	I don't eat meat.
	I don't smoke.
	Oh, she doesn't eat meat!
	Ah!
	I drink occasionally.
	She's missing a lot of enzymes.
	Yeah, okay, so there's part of your problem.
	Mind you, I run seven miles three to four times a week, or I did.
	I do yoga.
	I don't eat meat.
	I don't smoke.
	I drink occasionally.
	Not right now, though, because my doctor tells me I can't.
	Aside from probably not getting enough sleep and working too much.
	Isn't alcohol actually supposed to be reasonably good?
	For your heart, for your circulation?
	Well, this is, you know, it turns out, it seems to me, that we're not doctors.
	We're not doctors.
	We're not doctors, but through the ages I've noticed something.
	That through the ages, and this goes way back, doctors always say don't drink.
	It's just like a rule.
	Just don't drink.
	Don't drink!
	I don't know why they say it, because there's less of evidence that says it's probably good for you in certain situations.
	But they just say it.
	It's just like, you know, it reminds me of that scene in the movie.
	Why take a chance?
	The doctor tells me I can't.
	Aside from probably not getting enough sleep and working too much, I'm a pretty healthy person.
	But on that day, I was anything but.
	My husband drove me to the emergency room and from there the nightmare that has been my January began.
	I was diagnosed with pericarditis, inflammation of the lining of my heart, brought on by a virus.
	A literal common cold.
	Okay, so that was the diagnosis.
	A literal virus.
	It was just the common cold.
	By the way, I'm not going to dispute that it was the common cold.
	I'm sure it was.
	But I think she's boosted her immune system to crap.
	Let's continue.
	I also had fluid around my heart that had to be drained or else it could hinder the beating of my heart.
	I was hospitalized for four nights and transferred from a local hospital to NYU Langone here in New York City.
	On January 4th, I was finally discharged after doctors drained the fluid around my heart and I bounced out of the hospital.
	I couldn't get out of there fast enough with the hopes I was on the mend.
	But wait!
	But that was not the end.
	Three days later I was readmitted when I felt a flutter in my heart, like a butterfly.
	It was inside my chest and determined I had developed myocarditis, inflammation of the actual heart now, the heart muscle.
	I remember being shepherded through the emergency room and wondering, is this it?
	It wasn't, thank God.
	Instead, I spent five more days in the hospital where they ran a battery of tests, adjusted my meds, and made sure nothing else was fueling what was happening.
	And in fact, in the end... I wonder what kind of meds they had to be adjusted.
	Because clearly she got some meds.
	It was still just the cold that was doing all of this, that had caused all of this inflammation in and around my heart.
	Okay, so this is where, I mean, who knows what it was, but what I'm hearing is malnourished, because she doesn't eat meat, this is my personal, I'm not a doctor, this is what I'm thinking.
	But also, the cold is not the problem.
	The cold is her immune system, and her doctor will actually confirm this.
	Since then, this thing has continued to wax and wane, and the hope is I'm on the mend and on the other side now.
	But we'll be on medication for some time to come.
	It's not the most fun, but alas, I am getting older, and I need to admit that.
	One man who has helped me through all of it and shepherded me through my ups and downs and my emotions and my family's as well is my cardiologist, Dr. Greg Katz, and he joins me now.
	Can you stop for a second?
	Yeah, of course.
	It's almost over.
	Yeah.
	Well, I want to hear the cardiologist, but...
	What channel was this?
	Where'd you get this?
	I mean, I know about this.
	This was MSNBC.
	This is on her own channel.
	This was on the air?
	Yes.
	So instead of giving us news analysis or anything that might be of interest, we have to listen to this woman's woes.
	Isn't it always frowned upon to make yourself part of the story as a journalist?
	Technically, yes.
	Yeah.
	Well, this clearly had to be some... I mean, she's just not that interesting.
	So this sounds more like to me like they're doing a little MSNBC messaging bit because of the Myocarditis.
	Again, we mentioned this before, something we've never heard of.
	You know, for 10, 15 years as a common ailment, which now seems to be a common ailment amongst everyone who's taken, oh, I'm sorry, just coincidentally taken the vaccine.
	And now we have to endure listening to this nonsense.
	I shouldn't be saying that, but about the common cold.
	Now, all of a sudden, out of the blue, causing this ailment, which we've never heard of for 15 years.
	Yeah, and I'm not railing on anyone who accepted the vaccine into their life, but let's just be honest, I think that MSNBC, I'm sure they've all had four shots just to comply.
	You have to keep your job.
	To comply to keeping your job, which maybe she didn't even want to do that.
	But to me, listen to her surgeon or cardiologist, I'm sorry, who by the way has a weird guttural tick when he starts to lie.
	One man who has helped me through all of it and shepherded me through my ups and downs and my emotions and my family's as well is my cardiologist, Dr. Greg Katz, and he joins me now because supposedly this happens and it seems to be happening a lot these days.
	Yeah.
	It's great to see you outside the hospital, by the way.
	It's so nice to not have an EKG in front of me to be nervous about how it's going to look.
	Exactly.
	And me not crying in front of you.
	Exactly.
	What happened?
	Everybody asks me, how does a cold go to your heart?
	Yeah, so it's not so much the cold itself that's going to your heart, it's the way your body's responding to the cold.
	And your immune system, for most of us, just takes a couple of days to clear the virus, and we have the standard runny nose, sore throat, that kind of stuff, and it's self-limited, and it goes away.
	But for a small proportion of people, they get an overactive immune response, and they can have inflammation in lots of different areas.
	And inflammation of the sac around the heart, pericarditis, like you first were dealing with, is an unfortunate thing that we see sometimes.
	The minute he says, oh, this is like, you know, pericarditis, you know, that's happened.
	You listen to it, he almost chokes on whatever is going on there.
	You have inflammation in lots of different areas and inflammation of the sac around the heart, pericarditis, like you first were dealing with is an unfortunate thing that we see sometimes.
	We've been seeing a little bit more this year than other years, but it's not unheard of.
	It's rare, but it's not the rarest.
	So to me, And they go on, they really, they wax on and wax off for another six, seven minutes.
	Her immune system is not functioning, because you really just need to get a little drippy nose and some sinus issues, and it just didn't work.
	And he's saying, well, it's up a little bit this year.
	We've never heard of this at all, man!
	I'm concerned about our medical advisors.
	Well, the medical system has really got to do something to pull themselves out of a steep dive.
	Yeah, if possible at all.
	Meanwhile, we're transitioning.
	We're transitioning.
	COVID is over.
	The pandemic is over.
	COVID is over.
	I mean, in May officially, which I think is a World Health Organization guideline.
	In fact, I'm sure it is.
	And Dr. Jen Ashton over at ABC, Good Morning America, she will explain.
	We are at a transition point in the global pandemic, at least according to the World Health Organization.
	Dr. Jen joining us to tell us more about that.
	What does that mean?
	So we're hearing, you know, remember in terms of public health here, we have the World Health Organization who makes their statements, you know, Literally with the globe and the global population in mind.
	And then we have here the President, the Department of Health and Human Services, the CDC, the FDA, and yesterday we're hearing the World Health Organization really saying that we're at an inflection point here in this pandemic.
	Remember, we're in... Yeah, what I'm hearing, now that I hear this for the third time...
	I think she's kind of saying, you know, we have so many different organizations here and everyone has a different opinion than the president, because it was weird that the president said it's over, but we'll wait until May.
	Maybe she's trying to push the World Health Organization as being the authority, which is, that's the plan for sure, with the big, you know, the Global Health Treaty, which has not been ratified yet, but I'm sure it will.
	Yesterday, we're hearing the World Health Organization really saying that we're at an inflection point here in this pandemic.
	Remember, we're in year three or beginning of year four, depending on how you want to look at it.
	And here in this country, we're seeing and hearing that it will no longer be, as of May, meeting criteria for a public health emergency.
	So what does that mean?
	Really, for the individual, it doesn't mean that much.
	It's really an economic designation.
	Meaning that certain things may not be paid for by the government.
	So yes, that can trickle down and affect each of us individually.
	But things like tests or vaccines, we might see, guess what?
	They're not free anymore.
	So if you want treatment or testing or vaccination, you might have to pay for it.
	But largely, this is a terminology kind of milestone for us in terms of our day-to-day life.
	COVID is not going anywhere, so we will continue to have to live with it.
	Hmm, maybe this is just a- That's not quite the way it was explained by our favorites at NTD.
	Oh, oh, do you have an example of what NTD had to say about that?
	Yeah, COVID emergency's laws ending.
	The president says it's time to wind down on treating COVID-19 as an emergency.
	And House Republicans pushed a bill today to immediately end the national emergency, which has gone on for nearly three years now.
	Here's NTD's Melina Weiskopf from Capitol Hill with more.
	The Biden administration announced they'll allow the pandemic emergency declarations to end four months from now in May.
	Now, what this will do is it will eliminate the executive branch's powers that they currently have in dealing with the pandemic, such as their ability to suspend student loan repayments, as well as end the flexibility with regards to reporting in the health care arena.
	Republicans today noting the timing of the White House's announcement.
	And we are moving the federal government away from its perpetual COVID state, giving healthcare workers more freedom, and forcing career bureaucrats to start showing up for work again.
	By the way, I don't know if anyone noticed, but the White House is now responding directly to the House Republicans.
	And Republicans say this is long overdue, pointing to a comment that President Biden made back in September when he said that the pandemic is over.
	But despite those comments, the administration says there needs to be a phased-out approach when ending this public health emergency, which is the same message that we're hearing from House Democrats.
	Here's how the House Democratic Caucus chairman responded when I asked him about the issue earlier.
	We understand that some proposals that they could be pushing could increase the cost of the vaccine.
	We want to make sure that testing is available through insurance programs.
	Those are the types of things that we're concerned about.
	It's about how this policy affects our community.
	And in addition to this bill that would end the public health emergency immediately, House Republicans also pushed a few other pandemic-related bills today.
	One would end telework for federal employees.
	The other would end vaccine mandates for health care workers.
	Okay.
	Thank you, NTD.
	So the idea is, let's get some bills out there.
	We still need to have... The pharmaceutical industry wants to be paid.
	We've got to get some more... How about this?
	I'm just going to say between now and May, we'll have a bill that will probably be in the half a trillion dollar range that will include a lot of money for Pfizer, Moderna, etc.
	You know, yes.
	Yeah, I'm not going to argue that this obviously is a scam going on, but the Republicans seem to want to end it.
	And the Democrats want to go along with the WHO.
	Yes.
	With the May ending.
	And I think there's something to the fact that Biden wants to push it to the WHO ending and the Republicans are trying to keep him from doing that.
	There seems to be something else in play, like, I think, what you mentioned earlier, which is giving the WHO more power, and the Democrats are willing to do that because they're the one global government party.
	That's what they need to do.
	They may spend the next, you know, three months arguing over the global World Health Organization health treaty, which we've, I think we've already signed, it just hasn't been ratified.
	And that gives the World Health Organization incredible power.
	Yeah.
	Maybe Jen Ashton can give us a little tip of what's happening.
	But is it safe to say that some people may start to let their guard down and say it's over?
	I think when they hear this, absolutely.
	And that's why the messaging of public health information, medicine, science, is so vitally important.
	There is pandemic fatigue psychologically.
	We're all tired of it.
	So when you hear this, it could be easy for some people to say, oh good, it's in the rearview mirror.
	But unfortunately, there are still people Right this moment, losing their lives due to complications of COVID-19, so I think it's here to stay for a while.
	It's here to stay for a while.
	Yeah, well, here's some messaging.
	DeMar Hamlin lives.
	What is he messaging?
	Next, Buffalo Bills player DeMar Hamlin has a new mission.
	Weeks after suffering cardiac arrest on the field, he's challenging people to learn CPR.
	I'm proud to announce that I'm partnering with the American Heart Association and kicking off DeMar Hamlin's 3 for Heart CPR challenge.
	To kick things off, I'm challenging the GOATs.
	LeBron James, Tom Brady, and Michelle Obama, you've all been challenged.
	Hamlin said he's eager to give back after medics saved his life.
	Go back to the ice bucket.
	The Ice Bucket Challenge!
	Oh, I forgot all about that.
	Yeah, don't forget about the ice bucket.
	So, um, this was interesting because there's a big scandal, you know, is this guy, you know, is this guy really...
	He was at the Buffalo Bills game, supposedly, this last weekend.
	Yeah.
	And they showed him up in the owner's booth.
	With his hoodie on.
	But you couldn't see his face.
	No, I know.
	He's wearing a hoodie.
	And then they show him leaving the facility with a hoodie over his head in a wheelchair.
	They're reeling him out.
	You still can't see his face.
	No, it was great.
	What was that all about?
	Or who are they kidding?
	He wasn't there.
	I don't know.
	I mean, I would say a lot of people question... And what was the point?
	Ratings?
	Charge up the team?
	By the way, they lost.
	They lost that game and didn't charge up the team at all, because I think the team looked up there and said, oh my god, this guy, that's not him.
	He's dead!
	Yeah, something like that.
	I mean, I'm getting nothing but, this is Photoshop, this is deepfake, he's dead!
	He's dead!
	I get a lot of that.
	I doubt if he's dead.
	I don't think he's dead either, at all actually.
	But he's not doing these things that they say he's doing and he wasn't at that game and I think the team knew it.
	I think it was depressing to them.
	I think it backfired.
	They lost that game.
	By the way, I'd like to point out that the Eagles are in the Super Bowl, as I predicted.
	Yes, you're right on the money on this with your crackpot theory.
	Science, brother.
	Because it helped the Eagles quite a bit when they knocked out our quarterback in the first series in the whole beginning of the game.
	Who's this, our quarterback business?
	I'm the fan of the team.
	No, you vote for the winner.
	Stop.
	You don't vote for a team.
	Well, I didn't watch the game.
	That's the point.
	You're a fair weather fan is what you are.
	I am a fair weather fan, but I still have...
	I like to see a good game.
	Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
	What else you got?
	You got anything in this health business or should we move on?
	I got some climate, I got some government.
	Lots of climate if you want climate.
	You know what?
	How about this?
	The only healthcare thing I got is the pro-life activist that was released.
	I don't know if that means anything.
	Oh, is that with the wearing the beanies in Walmart or whatever it was?
	No, I don't think so.
	Pro-life activists.
	Activist harass.
	Let's see what it is.
	Pro-life activist Mark Hauk was found not guilty on federal charges of assault on an abortion clinic escort.
	Hauk was arrested in 2022 after the FBI raided his home.
	NTD's Arlene Richards reports.
	Relief.
	Overjoyed.
	Blessed.
	That's Mark Hauk, a pro-life counselor celebrating his acquittal on federal charges of assault under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances, or FACE Act.
	His attorney, Peter Breen, explained to NTD in a previous interview what the act is and why Hauk was arrested.
	We have two counts under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, the FACE Act, as we call it.
	And that's about, uh, it was put in place back in 1994 to stop the blockades of abortion clinics.
	Hauk was accused by the Department of Justice of assaulting an abortion advocate just outside the clinic door.
	Mark and his then 12-year-old son were away from the entrance to the abortion clinic, and the abortion escort, who claims to be the victim, a 72-year-old man, went to them.
	There were no patients around.
	He went to them and plopped right next to the son and started harassing him.
	A 72-year-old man should know better?
	And then an altercation ensued.
	The Philadelphia DA declined to prosecute, and a state court dismissed a civil complaint.
	Breen told NTD the alleged victim didn't show up in court, so the matter should have ended.
	But then the FBI raided Houck's home and arrested him on federal charges.
	On Monday, Breen gave reporters his take on why the FBI got involved.
	From day one, This case has been an intimidation tactic by the Biden Department of Justice.
	Mark is totally innocent of these charges.
	This matter is one that never should have gotten the attention of the Department of Justice.
	the attention of the Department of Justice.
	Houck's attorneys argued this was a First Amendment case.
	While the DOJ maintained Houck violated the FACE Act.
	This was about the First Amendment in that Mark and every sidewalk council in this country has an equal right to be there on that sidewalk and offer assistance, offer alternatives to folks.
	The jury returned a verdict in one hour.
	NTD reached out to the Justice Department and asked for their take on this case and whether or not the jury returned the right verdict.
	So far, we haven't gotten a response.
	Matt, was I supposed to learn something from that?
	Yeah, the FBI is targeting people and that's where it leads me to a series of clips.
	Aha!
	There's no reason to, like, go to this guy, raid the guy's house.
	What's the FBI got to do with some one guy protesting at an abortion clinic?
	Who cares?
	The FBI is clearly an enforcement arm of the intelligence community, which appear to run everything.
	Well, now you'll laugh what I'm going to say next.
	Okay.
	Well, the Republicans are going to put a stop to that.
	Oh, right.
	Yes, we're going to have a church-like committee.
	We'll end all this.
	No, people, no.
	The biggest distraction of your life is coming down right now, and it's the Republicans in the House of Representatives, who have a slim majority of something.
	There's going to be some clips to be had.
	All right.
	Yeah, well, that's true.
	Government targets won.
	The House's new select subcommittee on the weaponization of the federal government is kicking into action.
	I just want to say, this is what everyone who has a podcast is talking about this.
	They're not talking about the way we're talking about it.
	No, correct.
	I just would like to point out that the Twitter files, which is sure just a little piece of information, Matt Taibbi All of these people are willful, I won't say idiots, because they're actually quite smart.
	Useful idiots, that's what Taibbi calls himself.
	Well, he is a useful idiot, because this, dare I use the term, this is all a limited hangout.
	Because people who already believe, since it's a term, it makes you sound like you know what you're talking about.
	It's being used for people who already know that the FBI is corrupt and the whole world is going crazy upside down.
	It's confirmation, so you can go, see, I told you!
	And you can be targeted as a nutjob by the media, because the only person reporting on it is Tucker Carlson.
	He's a racist, he's a misogynist, he's a puppet for Putin, whatever it is.
	He's a puppet for Putin.
	A puffin for Putin.
	And just to see how it works, watch Tucker Carlson's show, keep it on, then watch Sean Hannity say nothing.
	Watch Sean Hannity go and talk about this panel.
	Oh yeah, we're gonna get him.
	We're gonna get him.
	It might as well not have happened.
	Yeah, um, Tina's friend.
	About the same age.
	They were terror twins in Chicago together.
	She's not quite as red in as we are, of course, because that's what we do all day long.
	And she said, you know, And she's all about health and she really likes reading Dr. Mercola.
	And she said it was weird because Dr. Mercola, I couldn't find him anymore.
	He was gone for a while.
	I didn't know what happened to him.
	So we know that he was the top of the list of the disinfo dozen that was deplatformed from everywhere.
	But most people... But most people, I couldn't find him.
	They have no idea.
	That falls back on that clip we played.
	The censorship of the censorship.
	clip where this guy made the observation that the censorship itself is being censored.
	And so you end up with people like that saying, I don't know, you know, that not realizing that this was going on, which I find to be the most fascinating thing because it's really, uh, it worked.
	Censor the censorship.
	That's where you, that's, that's how you make hay.
	And most people, you know, just so got so tired of it all.
	That they've tuned out.
	So yeah, you know, I'll pick up the People magazine, maybe USA Today might, might catch a headline, but are really not interested anymore.
	And so then, you know, when things go away, there's like, I don't know, you know, it's like what, you know, Newsmax, I kind of like watching Newsmax, I can't find him anymore.
	No, no, they've also everything, everything's been deplatformed.
	So what this results in is just fodder for for podcasts.
	Well, I can't believe, I can't believe, I can't believe, I can't believe, I can't believe, Well, this will give you all the background you need, Alright, let's get to them.
	And this will get it out of the way.
	We'll start over.
	The House's new select subcommittee on the weaponization of the federal government is kicking into action.
	Reportedly sending letters this past Friday to five subjects who may also be subpoenaed if they're unresponsive.
	The panel says it will investigate potential misconduct by the FBI, Justice Department, and the intelligence community, among others.
	Earlier today, I spoke with Attorney and former Assistant Attorney General at the Justice Department, Jeffrey Clark, for his thoughts.
	Jeffrey Clark, welcome to our show.
	What was the point of that effect?
	I'm sorry, NTD.
	Hey, I know we'll spice it up.
	We're going to spice up our coverage with some sound effects.
	Yeah, by the way, I will mention that I usually take those out because you've got enough bitching and moaning about NTD because you hate them.
	You hate them.
	I do, kind of.
	And I usually take those little swishes out, but that one, for some reason, I heard it when I was editing and said, I'll get back to you.
	Leave it in, leave it in.
	Thank you.
	Attorney General, I appreciate it.
	The Justice Department, Jeffrey Clark, for his thoughts.
	Jeffrey Clark, welcome to our show.
	Thanks so much for joining us.
	Well, it's great to be here.
	Thanks for having me.
	Now, a Newhouse subcommittee is investigating what they say is a concerted effort by the government to cancel conservatives.
	They, and many others, say Americans are feeling targeted.
	What are your thoughts on this?
	Well, look, I think it's a very target-rich environment, to key off of your word.
	I mean, there are so many things that the new weaponization subcommittee that we called for here at the Center for Renewing America could look into.
	I can just tick off several quickly.
	The Twitter files, the Biden documents, the Mar-a-Lago raid as compared to the Biden documents.
	Tim Tebow, the FBI whistleblowers, parents being targeted and harassed.
	Mark Houck, the anti-abortion prayer warrior being targeted and then acquitted.
	I mean, just so many things that could be examined.
	Oh, yes, and it's all just trolling.
	It's gaslighting almost.
	Here's the thing.
	What is the Tim Tebow thing?
	I don't know.
	I don't know about the Tim Tebow thing.
	That's old, isn't it?
	You mentioned specifically Tim Tebow in that laundry list.
	Yes, I heard that.
	But isn't that old?
	Isn't that because he's a Christian and he talked about it?
	I don't think so.
	I mean, that happens, but that's not... Yeah, that was the controversy over him.
	I don't think so.
	I think so.
	Somebody in the yard... Have you noticed there's a troll room?
	The troll room is useless.
	Phoebe!
	That dog back in the background sounds terrific, by the way.
	It's got a deep echo.
	I asked the A.I.
	Here's the A.I.
	Hold on a second.
	I asked, what was the Tim Tebow controversy?
	Come on, A.I.
	Can I be of assistance?
	Tim Tebow has been the subject of controversy since his college days due to his well-liked and disliked reputation as well as his story about faith and perseverance.
	Yes, this is a faith issue.
	The debate surrounding Thiebaud is not just about him, but about people and religion in sports, which supporters and detractors alike react to criticism as an indictment of religion.
	Yes, it was him praying on the field or something like that.
	Yes, this is what it was about.
	That goes back for decades.
	I know it does.
	I know it does.
	NTD is an old school They're reporting on decades ago.
	You should stop this outfit.
	And like you mentioned, the subcommittee says it will examine ways that the FBI, DOJ, and Homeland Security may have been weaponized against Americans, but also the agency's possible neglect for- Wait, was he killed by friendly fire?
	Wasn't that the issue?
	Was that Tim Tebow?
	No, no, that's the guy Pat Watson- Oh, that's- Shut up, trolls.
	And probing the Hunter Biden laptop story.
	What are your concerns in regards to that?
	Well, look, I mean, the Hunter Biden laptop has been over at DOJ at Bill Barr's DOJ, no less, you know, in which I served.
	Since 2019.
	So that's something that should have been looked at a lot harder and a lot faster.
	And we may be seeing that the Biden documents scandal, which recently emerged on January 9th, that that really does trace back to investigations into the Hunter Biden laptop.
	That's not clear at this point, but there was just breaking news before you began this interview.
	That CBS News had learned that actually the Justice Department searched the Biden Pen Center in quote-unquote mid-November.
	And what is mid-November?
	I mean, you know, it's after November 2nd, which we're told is when, you know, Biden's people themselves found documents at the Biden Pen Center.
	But was it before the election or after the election?
	And why is it such, you know, vague terminology about mid-November?
	It seems odd.
	And you've said that you think this issue with Biden's classified documents could be his undoing.
	What do you think about the timing there and if there's any... Oh, come on!
	...concerns around what they're saying?
	This guy's no better than Pool Boy.
	Oh yeah, the coincidental timing of the documents, November, what happened in November?
	Come on, man.
	You're going to give me six minutes of this?
	It better get better in clip three.
	It gets really good.
	Okay.
	Well, I think we've begun to see that there are even, you know, former officials, advisors affiliated with the Clinton administration, like David Gergen and Dick Morris, who started to realize how serious this is for the Biden administration.
	We've seen Ron Klain make good his exit as the White House Chief of Staff so that he can plausibly claim that he had nothing to do with this issue and that this is a mess that emerged later in the Biden administration.
	I think it's very dangerous for them.
	You certainly don't want to be going into a presidential campaign with a special counsel having been newly appointed to look into an issue that you've had that stretches back far longer than the Trump documents.
	It stretches back now, not just to the Biden vice presidency, but to Biden's time in the Senate based on documents that were found in his Wilmington home, as the reporting has shown.
	And coming back to this subcommittee.
	Hold on.
	Before we go back to the subcommittee and this riveting interview.
	15 seconds of Ron Klain and his goodbye speech at the White House.
	I learned everything I know about how to be a good father from Joe Biden.
	He is the best father I know and the best role model I know.
	And along the way, he's taught me a thing or two about politics and policy as well.
	Man, that crying that he does there, that's like almost... It's like a eulogy.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	Yes, wow.
	I'm kidding, I'm not... Seriously, listen to... No joke.
	No joke, man.
	Listen to this crying again, the beginning.
	I learned everything I know about how to be a good father from Joe Biden.
	He is the best father I know and the best role model I know.
	Is he Joe Biden's son?
	Illegitimate son, you think?
	I don't know.
	What is this about?
	First of all, he's getting kicked out.
	He's not leaving because he wants to leave.
	He got kicked out.
	No doubt about it.
	Well, let's stop here for a second and talk about, you know, is it possible?
	You know, this whole thing about the Biden laptop is Hunter Biden laptop.
	Yeah.
	At this point, you have to start assuming that Hunter Biden was a spook.
	A double agent.
	And you have to assume that maybe Joe Biden's a spook.
	That's why he has all these secret documents.
	So if Joe Biden is a spook, somebody put him in office, you put a spook in there.
	Like Obama was a spook too.
	I'm sorry, that's racist.
	You can't say that.
	You can't say that.
	Woo, so wrong.
	He was a spy.
	Yeah.
	Fed.
	Because there's no other reason for this laptop to be in limbo forever, unless somebody said, hey, there's stuff in here.
	Okay.
	All right.
	I like this, but they were FBI level spies, not CIA.
	You don't know that.
	I'm just thinking.
	There could also be State Department spies.
	That little group, that's the creepiest of all the spooks.
	Wow, man.
	Well, yeah, the CIA does not like druggies.
	No, I'm with you.
	I'm with you on that.
	Okay, well, so then people will have to die.
	People are going to start dying.
	We might take a chance.
	Remember that the journalist whose house was raided a couple months ago?
	A producer, ABC News producer?
	Yeah, vaguely.
	And also, he was like an award-winning news producer.
	I vaguely remember this, I don't know if he had any clips.
	I don't, let me see, I don't think we had a clip, but James Meek, there we go, James Meek.
	Let me just see, before I give you the punchline, of this story, James Meek.
	No, I don't have anything on Meek.
	I wonder if we... I guess we didn't have a producer... Producer ABC... No.
	Anyway... He... So, the FBI raided his home, and he went quiet, and then he resigned in April, and now...
	Headline, ex-ABC news reporter is charged with transporting child pornography.
	So whatever this guy had, they're really deplatforming him.
	Yeah, that's the way to go.
	This is... yeah.
	And I'm kind of thinking that's what they got to do to that guy who popped the Pelosi story.
	You know, because we were talking about him winding up dead or, you know, he'd get a raise.
	No, I think child porn is the way to go.
	It's easy.
	Throw it on the laptop.
	Get in there.
	Raid.
	There's stuff going.
	There's big moves going on.
	I think there's cleanups taking place.
	I'm even thinking, I hate to say it, but I think Hunter may have to go.
	But like, I don't know.
	Troubled.
	He's troubled.
	He's troubled.
	And coming back to this subcommittee, the subcommittee can access the most highly classified information in Congress, and it has subpoena power.
	Do you think it will be able to get answers that other committees or subcommittees won't or can't reveal?
	Well, I think it needs to press to get those results as hard as possible.
	We know what the tools for that are.
	First, Congress, and in particular the House, needs to use its power of the purse, which is one of its foremost constitutional powers, to make sure that if the executive branch is refusing to share the necessary documents, that they can look into it.
	I'd also note that, look, some of these issues obviously go to or could ripen into impeachment proceedings at some point.
	Yeah, doubtful.
	The thing is when you listen to this thing with the notion that we're really dealing with spy agencies going after each other.
	Yeah.
	And the Republican, and everybody knows what's going on behind the scenes.
	Or at least not everybody, but a good portion of the people know what's going on behind the scenes, but they have to couch it in different ways so they don't alert the public, really.
	They're just like, this is all a smokescreen for whatever else is really going on, who knows what.
	It makes it a little more interesting.
	It's definitely more intriguing.
	Yeah.
	So let's go with the, I don't know what clip we're on.
	Uh, last one.
	Uh, four.
	And clearly those begin... Oh wait, before you play four... This better be killer.
	This better have a great payoff.
	There's no payoff.
	But before you play four, I have a clip.
	Just an... I think it's the same clip.
	But I sent it to you because I wanted to know if it would work.
	Okay, so my machine blew up to a point where I have to go to new machines.
	So I had to do all this on this particular machine with these edits, which is why I left stuff in.
	But I sent over, because I'm doing all these edits, and I say, holy crap, these are all WAV files!
	Oh, yeah.
	And so I said, oh, so I gotta get the lame.dll file.
	What are you even talking about?
	Oh.
	It's the LAME.
	It's not LAME.
	It's LAME.
	I had to pronounce it LAME because LAME is dumb.
	It's the LAME encoder.
	FFmpeg LAME and you're LAME.
	Oh, do you drink Argelé instead of Argyle?
	I do.
	You go to Targé?
	Okay.
	Okay, you made your point.
	I do go to Targé.
	So... LAME.
	I decided to save one in Ogg.
	Oh, okay.
	And you sent this to me?
	This Ogg stuff?
	Yeah, government for Ogg.
	It doesn't even show up.
	Hold on a second.
	Oh, it doesn't show up in my... I mean, gov... Okay, let me just do .ogg.
	Okay, here, let's see if it'll even play.
	Yeah, it will play.
	And clearly, those begin in the house.
	So, which one do you want me to play?
	It's the same one.
	I just wanted to know, they're just the same as the other one, except there's Government 5, there's an extra file, there's a bonus.
	Why don't you just skip to 4 and play Government 5?
	Okay.
	So the AUG works.
	The AUG works?
	AUG is a great format.
	If you send AUG, I'm happy with that.
	The reason I say that is because the AUG, take a look at Government Targets 4 and AUG 4.
	Oh yeah, the size difference is huge.
	I don't have to look.
	I know that's what you're pointing at.
	Yeah, the size of an AUG file is smaller than an MP3.
	Did you know that there is an AUG version of this show with an RSS feed?
	No, I did not know that.
	Well, that's the kind of show we are, because we are the best podcast in the universe.
	Well, years and years ago, not to just interrupt these fabulous clips, but years and years ago, I had the inventor of the OGG format on my radio show.
	Mr. Vorbis?
	What was his name, Vorbis?
	I was always, I was grilling him about, you know, why do you name it something that, Og Vorbis?
	I mean, you know, it was like, what are you, a Klingon?
	I mean, what's the point?
	And?
	So... What was the answer?
	He never had a good answer.
	But it was, he was a nice guy, so I kind of admired him.
	So here's government five in... Yeah, play him with... Detractors say the subcommittee is meant to stoke distrust between the government and the people.
	What do you say to that?
	Yes.
	I think after the highly scripted January 6th committee hearings, it's very ironic to hear that.
	Republicans are proposing to run these committees entirely above board and in a balanced fashion.
	There will be a ranking member from the Democrats on each of these committees.
	There will be representation.
	There will not be, you know, throwing people willy-nilly off of committees because Nancy Pelosi fears that a Jim Banks or a Jim Jordan might, you know, put out another side of the story about January 6th and cross-examine witnesses.
	We're going to see a fair process.
	So I think the idea that this is just some sort of, you know, counter-weaponization process or however the Democrats want to characterize it is wrong.
	The process these Republicans in the House are going to run will be entirely fair and above board.
	There you go.
	Alright, Jeffrey Clark, attorney and former acting assistant attorney general for the Civil Division, really appreciate your time.
	Yeah, thanks.
	Stole mine.
	So, okay, here's another FBI taking someone down.
	We haven't really followed the story because who cares, but now it just got funny.
	This is the George Santos who was... Oh, George Santos.
	Yeah, I actually have a George Santos clip.
	Yeah, but I'm going to play my clip.
	It's only 24 seconds because we need to get rid of this guy.
	Someone needs to get rid of this guy for whatever reason.
	Is it an NTD clip?
	What do you have?
	I just have George.
	It just says George Santos.
	By the way, Santos is a major Portuguese name.
	I should tell my Brazil story.
	Brazilians, in general, are liars by nature.
	Really?
	Now is that just Brazilians or people who also speak Portuguese?
	I think it's Brazilians, but I think it does stem from Portugal.
	I'd never noticed it so much in Portugal.
	When I first went to Brazil, before I even started writing for Brazilian publications, I went there because I was invited.
	I went with Jerry Parnell as a matter of fact.
	We went down to see.
	All right.
	Rip.
	Rip Parnell.
	To see this big, this giant trade show that was in Brazil that was supposedly the biggest in the world and it kept getting promoted as the biggest in the world with a million people that go to this thing.
	And it was a lie.
	It was a piece of crap.
	No, the ratio was reasonable, but we, there was a couple of bottlenecks where you could count people and you could do a, we both did this, you can count the number of people going in and out and you can make a calculation of how many people were actually, could possibly attend it, and we could not get over 190,000 people.
	No matter how you did the calculation.
	So this was bull crap.
	And so I started dawning on me, I noticed from other experiences that the Brazilians, and if you think about Brazil, Brazil was formed, the Portuguese were given the option by Spain, how big is this country you want to claim?
	You have to have visited every part of it to tell us and where have you been?
	And so they lied.
	They said, well, we were up here and we were way over here.
	And they took this huge swath of South America based on bullshit.
	There is no way they explored Brazil.
	It's too big.
	That's interesting.
	And the Spaniards, the Spanish, who are, I guess, as much as the Portuguese Brazilians are liars, the Spanish are gullible.
	And they gave them that big swath of property.
	And I think that is the genesis of the Brazilian lie.
	The Brazilian lie?
	This is great, the Brazilian lie.
	And I believe, this is all supposition, but I believe that Santos comes from that culture and that's why he came in with this full of shit stuff.
	When I was told he was a Brazilian, it's the first thing I said to myself, of course!
	They lie!
	Representative George Santos told House Republicans today that he wants out of his two committee assignments.
	His decision comes as prosecutors are investigating his personal and campaign finances.
	Reporters waiting outside of the Capitol asked the Congressman if Speaker Kevin McCarthy told him to step down.
	Nobody told me to do anything.
	I made a decision on my own that I thought best represented the interests of the country.
	I think it was an appropriate decision that until he could clear everything up, he's off committees right now.
	McCarthy has faced harsh criticism for assigning Santos to the Small Business Committee and the Science, Space and Technology Committee.
	The assignments came after Santos admitted to lying about much of his resume.
	Santos said he's not stepping down from office and that the only way he'd leave is if he loses in the next election.
	A new poll by Newsday and Siena College shows that 78% of voters in Santos' district who responded to the survey want him to step down.
	The view is supported by 71% of Republican respondents, 72% of independents, and 89% of Democrats.
	Well, the FBI is getting rid of this guy, and here's how they're doing it.
	Tonight, CBS News has confirmed embattled New York Congressman George Santos is being investigated by the FBI over allegations that he stole $3,000 raised online to treat a homeless Navy veteran's cancer-stricken dog.
	The veteran says Santos did not hand over the funds, and the dog died in 2017.
	And the dog died!
	Santos denies the allegations.
	So, the new thing of the children is he kills dogs!
	You know, you have to give whoever came up with this one, you have to give him kudos for having a sense of humor.
	Big kudos for that.
	Well done, well done.
	You get it all in it.
	He stole money from a GoFundMe for a vet, a veteran, whose dog had cancer and the dog died.
	This guy is the lowest of the low.
	And notice, it's CBS News who breaks this.
	Of course.
	Yeah, I love it.
	It's great.
	We're doomed.
	We personally are not doomed.
	No, because we're doing it the right way.
	Laugh at that.
	The genius of it all.
	They're probably like, you know, we hate those Korean Dvorak guys, but they do give us props for the excellent work we do, so just let them go.
	Just let them go.
	Yeah, let's see what else they come up with.
	That's what's keeping us going.
	That's what's keeping us alive.
	All right, good news, good news everybody on the climate change front.
	You no longer have to be worried about nuclear energy because we found it!
	Now a tiny but dangerously radioactive capsule that fell off a truck along a remote stretch of desert highway in Western Australia last month has been found.
	Authorities scoured By the way, I just want to read a note from one of our producers.
	Gents, these things, these capsules with cesium-137 inside, are super common and readily available.
	Usually used as an emission source for density or liquid flow testing equipment, typically used for mining.
	It might be determining the flow rate through a pipe containing mine waste slurry or soil compaction or erosion density testing.
	I'm unsure how many of these capsules exist currently, but I'd make an estimate that every major city has between 100 and 500 in various pieces of equipment.
	These capsules are even used to irradiate food sometimes.
	Oh, really?
	Yes.
	The amount of capsules is minute, not like you could make up a dirt and make a dirty bomb out of it or anything.
	They are dangerous.
	The concern is someone would pick it up and take it home, placing it where they would continually be exposed.
	In my soil testing days during some training, we were told a story of one of these capsules became separated from road density testing equipment years before and sat in a stockpile of gravel before being used in a batch of concrete to build an apartment building.
	Several residents of the apartment where the capsule rested died of leukemia.
	I suspect the mine is worried about the liability of someone getting injured.
	All of ours had etched serial numbers.
	The media took the ball and ran another direction with this news.
	So they found it and it was good news everybody.
	Authorities scoured hundreds of kilometers of highway in search of the tiny capsule.
	The six-day hunt came to an end after a search vehicle detected radiation while traveling along the highway with authorities now working to safely remove the capsule before taking it to a secure location.
	Daniel, first of all tell us a bit more about how it was found and what the search involved.
	Yeah well this six-day search spanned across 1,400 kilometers.
	This tiny potentially deadly radioactive capsule was found.
	Now the search involved Around 100 personnel, and that included teams from fire and emergency services, as well as teams from a nuclear science and technology organization.
	By the way, do you remember what we recommended, or what you recommended, as a way to find this thing?
	You use a radiation detector that's a long-range one?
	Yes!
	This 8mm by 6mm device around the size of a grain of rice was found off the side of a highway in a remote part of Western Australia.
	Authorities likening this search to literally finding a needle in a haystack.
	How it was found is that one of the search vehicles was driving down the highway at around 70km per hour when radioactivity was detected on a device Then a portable device was used to find the exact location of this capsule around two meters from the side of the highway.
	They made such a big deal of this story.
	Oh, goodness.
	Well, they found it.
	One other story I want to handle before we go to a break.
	Well, before you leave that story, I just want to mention that This sort of thing is this radiation that comes off of stuff like this for food irradiation.
	It doesn't make the food radioactive, it sterilizes it and we should be using this in some of our foods today to keep E. coli from getting into the food supply.
	Yes.
	And I've thought about this and people reject it because they think that, you know, the kind of radiation that you use to sterilize food is not radioactive.
	It's not like alpha particles or anything that make things radioactive.
	It's a very well-proven technique and most ultra-pasteurized products have been irradiated like that to make them so they last pretty much forever.
	But I've concluded over time That the problem with this is that they would end up, because they can radiate dog shit and pretty much inoculate it from anything, that our food industry, the way they operate, would be so careless they would be eating cow shit, pretty much, instead of steaks.
	What says we're not already?
	Well, I'm pretty sure we're not.
	You would be getting E. coli problems.
	So is E. coli a bug, a thing, or is that a result of some... E. coli is a bacteria.
	We have naturally in our stomachs, but there's a couple of bad ones if you get them in your system.
	They ravage your organs and you end up dead.
	Again, a downer!
	Sorry!
	Now, they're a big diner.
	So here's something that I think... I'm going to see if I can find this.
	So we have this Pfizer guy who I... They're still testing aspirin!
	Adam Curry!
	Sorry, that was not... What the hell?
	Yeah, I jumped the gun on that one.
	Sorry about that.
	So, let's see if I can just cue this up.
	There we go.
	We have this Jordan Tristan guy who was out on a date.
	Yeah, you have a funny kind of a nickname for him that you use in emails.
	What did I say?
	I can't remember, but it's pretty funny.
	The nut job.
	The nutty Pfizer dude.
	Whatever it is.
	It was probably derogatory.
	It was.
	Just so we're clear, Again, I think this is really not surprising, you know, the way it was spawned.
	And I like Project Veritas, you know, the executive director is a no-agent.
	I actually think he's maybe a baron, or maybe a viscount, even.
	He's a baron, I think.
	But I feel that they were kind of used, again, you know, just to have some great video... I mean, this guy was so off the wall that he couldn't be... He was really crazy.
	You can't take this guy serious for anything, in my mind.
	So whatever he was saying... The most damning thing he said is, hey, it's a revolving door between the FDA and the pharma companies, and okay, great.
	But one of our producers reached out and said, hey, Do you remember that you had an email from a producer who was either a Lyft or an Uber driver and had some Pfizer... Well, I guess it was undetermined if it was Pfizer or Moderna, but you had the note.
	It was sent to you.
	I didn't have this note.
	Yeah, I remember.
	And heard some really weird stuff between some Pfizer dudes in his car.
	Do you still have that note?
	I doubt it.
	Well, I went back and I read it.
	I think I read it on the show and then I tossed it.
	Episode 1382 and that is from September 2021.
	Let's listen.
	Let me see if it will actually play.
	Wow, that was really...
	It's it's been not an email is written immediately after the ride so I can get down as much of it before I forget, which is the way you do it, by the way.
	Anybody out there?
	I'll use singular they to refer to the Pfizer employee to protect the identity as much as I can.
	Main takeaways.
	Main takeaways.
	China had epidemic levels of the virus as early as June 21st.
	The lab leak theory is- Wait, absolutely June 2019?
	June.
	Yeah.
	That's way before the, uh, the October, you know, war games, whatever, when everyone's claiming it started.
	That's interesting.
	Okay.
	Although, if you think about it, the war games may have been triggered by this.
	I think it was on the calendar.
	It was scheduled, but okay.
	Yeah.
	How far out was the schedule?
	I don't know.
	It's just speculation.
	The lab leak theory is absolutely true and it was the janitorial staff of the Wuhan lab that got infected and spread it outside the lab before they all died.
	We're gonna get to the, you know, to some nuttier stuff, but it's kind of interesting to go back and listen to this email that was sent from 2021, which is now, turns out to pretty much check out, you know, what our, our, um, rideshare driver overheard in the car.
	Had to be shut down.
	Whoa!
	Bombshell!
	Bombshell!
	Hold on a second.
	We remember that, we've done, did stories about the lab shutdown that were suppressed, remember?
	Bombshell.
	Yes.
	It's bombshell.
	You guys gotta keep that, isn't it?
	It's bombshell.
	Denny tells some stuff here that I'm leaving out because it has a... it has a... either it's not true or it is proprietary and I... Now, do you remember what that was?
	No.
	Okay, great.
	Well done.
	No, I mean, I purposefully throw these notes out afterwards, and I'm very good at protecting sources, because A, I don't remember some of these details that I don't remember, and B, I toss these things so these guys can not worry about sending me stuff.
	Well, here comes the meat of the email.
	It's proprietary to Pfizer, and I'm not... Okay, but you'll tell me later, right?
	Yes, sure.
	I could also say it because I'm a journalist, technically, but I'm not in the business of giving Moderna somebody else's information.
	Because it doesn't help anybody else to know this, too.
	Is it marketing information?
	Formulaic information?
	Yes, formulaic.
	Pfizer is very proud of the product they've made because they didn't take any government or private money to develop their vaccine so they can stay independent.
	They look down on Moderna for taking money from Bill Gates.
	The Pfizer vaccine should get emergency use authorization for 5 to 11 year olds in the next few days.
	Yes, I know they're really pushing that.
	And they want to do babies too.
	They want to do 6 months old.
	Oh yeah, I hope that's in the note.
	It was the fact that the EU approved the U.S.
	vaccine that prompted the FDA to fully approve the Pfizer vaccine.
	Pfizer is not concerned about the Delta variant.
	While it is very contagious, it's a mild form of the virus, which we've been discussing since the beginning.
	The testing of the vaccine is not over and will not be over for a very long time.
	They said it takes many years to truly understand any virus or medication developed to fight it.
	And mentioned that they're still testing aspirin and ibuprofen, which has been on the market for years as an example.
	Wait a minute, did he say that or were they saying that in the car?
	That's what I think the guy used as an example.
	You know, they're still testing aspirin and ibuprofen.
	I'm sure there's something here that's important to remember.
	Still testing aspirin?
	I'm just giving a little variety there.
	No, I mean, I like it, I like it.
	Variants are named like hurricanes and the names go in alphabetical order and we're already on m, mu.
	And they really didn't care about delta or lambda.
	They're concerned about people contracting two variants at the same time and having a super mutation from that.
	This kind of checks out what this guy was talking about.
	Whether he was doing it, involved in it or not, but it sounds like Pfizer, it must be Pfizer, was testing things in their own lab.
	Supermutation?
	How come this isn't a headline?
	Come on.
	Supermutations.
	My God, we're so good.
	Mm-hmm.
	Mm. Bye. clicks damn yeah i think the thing i forgot am i still on you're still playing the clip there we go yes well it's just is there anything more to it i think okay i thought so i thought there was something let me just finish it up hold on the politics surrounding the pandemic and the vaccines are unbelievably intense so more so more so that the public knows and the
	In other words, it's... Well, I think people listened to the show and they were pretty enthused.
	I thought there was something important there.
	Yes, you were going to say.
	Yeah, I think the thing that I didn't discuss, it was some specific... It was either some protein they used in the one vaccine that they didn't use, or they used something cheap.
	The Moderna vaccine has some cheap element and the Pfizer people put something better in there.
	I guess what I'm trying to communicate here is that none of this is surprising.
	All it does is it just gives more gas for stupid podcasts.
	They go, they're gonna function!
	And it's just, how about this was just the flu?
	And we gaslighted everybody into being terrified of it, and you're not allowed to think anything any other way at this moment in time.
	You have to think, now Pfizer was involved in gain-of-function.
	I think we're way beyond that point.
	This whole thing was unnecessary.
	Killing people with ventilator protocols that the ventilator operators thought was dumb.
	This all came from gaslighting the whole world.
	Well, you gotta remember the ventilator thing started from Cuomo.
	Bitchin' and moanin' that they don't have enough ventilators and then Trump falling for it and making a bunch of extra ones.
	I think they're in landfill now.
	There's so many of them.
	He had Ford shut down and create ventilators from whatever parts they had.
	people that know anything.
	He had Ford shut down and create ventilators from whatever parts they had.
	Yeah.
	So all of this, all of this is, I think, at this point in time just to keep the alternative media talking about little stuff that doesn't matter.
	The World Health Organization will determine your future.
	That's what I see.
	See, the problem with the World Health Organization has always been that woman, that Chinese woman that was running it and who declared a pandemic over the swine flu coming out of Mexico.
	Remember that?
	And she called this pandemic and nobody paid attention.
	Because no one cared?
	It was like a dry run or something.
	Nobody believed her.
	She lacked credibility.
	I don't know what it was.
	I found that whole swine flu thing, which we covered.
	It was on our show.
	Yes.
	There were people lined up for the shot.
	And the Albany Library took a movie of them around the block.
	I think Star Wars was opening there.
	And it just never caught on like this thing did.
	Well, that's because we had TikTok and we had Chinese videos of people keeling over dead from this mysterious virus.
	Yeah, and spraying.
	Remember the sprays?
	Yeah, oh!
	They had this guy wearing a hazmat suit and spraying some weird foam or some spray on people.
	Was that DDT?
	And pulling a guy out of the car and beating him.
	Oh yeah!
	But that was an exercise, but it didn't look like it.
	We've been so scammed for so long.
	It's really, and I don't know, maybe some of the wheels are coming off here, but I just think these people get thrown out.
	These total idiots like this Tristan, Jordan, Jordan, Tristan.
	That guy can't seriously be in an organization like Pfizer.
	I mean, he's there, but he even said, no, I'm a consultant.
	That guy's really fishy.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	It's like a plant.
	And then he goes nuts.
	You see the aftermovie, you know, where he's... Yeah, it's fantastic.
	That's the best part.
	He's calling, he's calling, I am, there are four white men talking to me.
	I don't feel safe.
	Meanwhile, he was on a date.
	He was throwing his laptop around.
	He was on a date with a white guy to try and get some of that white penis, I guess.
	Yeah, that's what it seems like.
	Too many.
	Oh, now there's four.
	I can't handle that.
	Goodness gracious.
	Alright, then the thing that we have not touched on is the transition of Tyree Nichols from a non-racial police killing to just a police killing back to racism.
	Which is, and you know, when you have an operation Because clearly, clearly this was not racially motivated because the five cops were black.
	Although, did you see they found a sixth cop?
	They found a white one?
	Yeah, the white cop who looks like a non-binary guy?
	Yes, yes.
	I think that... And he's the one supposedly who kept saying, stomp him, stomp him.
	Yeah, no, he's the ringleader.
	It was his idea.
	Trust me, trust me.
	That guy's no ringleader of anything.
	He was the ringleader.
	He's the ringleader!
	Whoopi Goldberg is pulled out of the stable to bring this back to race.
	But, you know...
	When will the brutality finally lead to some police reform from the ground up?
	Because clearly, it doesn't matter if it's a white policeman or a black policeman, it is a problem in the police and the policing itself.
	You know, seems things don't seem to make sense to people unless it's somebody they can feel or they can recognize.
	But how many times do we have to, do we need to see white people also get beaten before anybody will do anything?
	I'm not suggesting that.
	Don't write us and tell me what a, you know, what a racist I am.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Um, there it is.
	There it is.
	It would not have happened if it was you or I, then we would not have beaten senseless end to death.
	Yeah, that would be happy.
	So the thing that I'm still kind of following is the, and it's in the newsletter, the notion that the cop or that that guy, that kid was having an affair.
	Yes, with one of the cops.
	With one of the cops whose partner was one of those five guys.
	Yeah.
	So the partner was either doing it on behalf of his partner.
	The guy with the wife having the affair with that kid was not amongst the guys beating him.
	But the partner was.
	He was one of them.
	We take care of our own here.
	Yeah.
	And so that kind of thing.
	And if you look at a picture of the guy, you can see him being kind of a ladies man.
	But I always imagine if I was writing it as a story to rip from the headlines, I would have this one element in there, which is not, we can't even prove that part of it, but just assume that we can and we're doing a storyline.
	It would go like this.
	Hey, what did you do?
	You guys beat the partner whose wife's having an affair.
	You beat the guy to death and he goes and sees his wife and says, that guy you were having an affair with has been beaten to death.
	I'm sorry.
	She says, I wasn't having an affair with him.
	I just said I was.
	Oof.
	That to me is the way You'd write that up as a nice drama.
	Well, this, of course, is being hyped by the media to try and kick something off, because that's what the media likes to follow, and so they can say, hey, it's a peaceful protest, or whatever they want.
	We know that the people behind this particular move are the Party of Socialism and Liberation, the Marxist-Communists, and they're really trying to Make hay out of this, and CBS participates.
	But I'm trying to figure out how it even got to this point.
	Even the police chief in Memphis seems to be questioning whether it was a legitimate traffic stop.
	What can you tell us about how it went so wrong so quickly and so violently?
	Well, we believe this Scorpion unit, this organized crime unit, commonly referred to in cities as the Jump Out Boys.
	Now, I'm not sure that's true.
	That this type of view is called the jump-out boys?
	And I will find out.
	That many in the white community have never heard of, but in the... I'm white, that's why, of course.
	Black community and brown community, it's these police officers that jump out all of a sudden, they swarm you, and they're very aggressive, and they normally are...
	Trampling on your constitutional rights.
	And you see it in Tyree's video where they start cursing at him and being so aggressive from the very beginning.
	And Tyree said, what did I do?
	So they bring in Reverend Al, who is connected to the Marxists and the communists and the PSL in this case.
	And they also brought Kamala Harris out.
	And so, you know, for the funeral was a big to do.
	Broadcast live, of course.
	And I think the only thing worth really playing here is Reverend Al, because he hits on the political part.
	This is really what needs to happen.
	And this is what did not happen, although brought up with George Floyd, is the qualified immunity.
	This is what needs to be removed.
	So that cops will heal!
	Which of course, to date, has had the exact opposite.
	result where cops don't want to be cops if they don't have qualified immunity.
	And they're leaving the force en masse.
	And what happens?
	And all of these cops, I think, were between 22 and 26 years old.
	I mean, you're technically a moron at that age still.
	I mean, was there any seniority there?
	I didn't see any.
	So here's what Reverend Al says needs to happen, and you tell me how that's going to work out for law enforcement in the United States.
	If you don't have qualified immunity, Your wife would be telling you before you leave home, behave yourself.
	Because we could lose the house.
	We could lose the car.
	Behave yourself.
	Because our savings can be gone.
	You want to be a tough guy?
	Well, let's get rid of qualified immunity and see if you learn the same manners you have on the white side of town, you'll have some manners on the black side of town.
	Ah, thanks for the racial pull, Al.
	So because of qualified immunity, black cops will kill black people but not white people.
	Not quite sure, I guess they're more careful on the white side of town?
	What a crock of shit.
	Well, Reverend Al, you don't understand.
	How are they going to keep crime down in the black community and at the same time not be tough and rough?
	Well, they do it the same way they do it on the white side of Memphis.
	And they keep the crime down without being rough and tough.
	How do you have the same department that can keep crime down on one side of town?
	Without beating folk to death.
	But you can't do it on the other side of town.
	Unless you feel that you can get away with it there.
	I can't speak for everybody in Memphis.
	I can't speak for everybody gathering.
	But for me, I believe if that man had been white, you wouldn't have beat him like that that night.
	Thank you, Al.
	We're not asking for nothing special.
	Yeah!
	We're asking to be treated equal.
	It's amazing.
	It's amazing how he pulls that off.
	It's completely racial now, but a qualified immunity, that has to go.
	I don't have clips, but I'm going to have some.
	I'm going to bring them in.
	They're going to have to stage this.
	And the first thing that's going to go is, there's a woman on Democracy Now, I didn't get the clip of her, I'm going to get those, who is the head of the Abolish the Police, one of the Abolish the Police, they want to abolish the police.
	Yes.
	But they are going to first promote the idea of no police traffic stops.
	They think this is the way to go.
	You do it by staging one thing, then another.
	You build yourself up.
	The problem is, the policing in this country, we're a lawless culture.
	And so if you don't have traffic stops, it's going to be a nightmare driving around, which is fine with them because you should be on a bicycle anyway.
	Well, I can tell you exactly.
	It's already happening.
	What is going to happen is cops are leaving en masse.
	And I know that because a lot of them live around here.
	What are they doing?
	They're going into private security forces who were then hired to protect gated communities It's not even a black or white thing, it's a rich versus poor.
	And the poor neighborhoods are going to get cameras, you're going to get drones, you're going to get all kinds of automated policing, and yeah, policeless traffic stops.
	It's going to be like Demolition Man.
	It's going to be a nightmare.
	It is, and they want this, and when I say they, The communists.
	The communists!
	Exactly!
	Just call it what it is.
	The communists want this, because that's total control.
	And a lot of America is going to slip into it because Reverend Al is able to bring in the racial component into this.
	Yeah, it's pretty tricky.
	It's really good.
	I mean, it's not a good result.
	Well, I mean, it's not good for anybody, but it's an excellent process the way they're trying to do it.
	They don't get very far.
	There are backlashes that occur.
	We'll see.
	It's going to be interesting.
	It could end up like Mexico.
	Like in Mexico, it becomes kind of a place where everyone's kidnapped.
	It's gonna be great, comrade.
	I can't wait.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage, comrade, and say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in the Canuck Chuck!
	Ladies and gentlemen, please say hello to my friend on the other end, Mr. John C. DeVore!
	Well, in the morning to you, in the morning to all ships at sea and boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
	In the morning to the trolls in the troll room who have been particularly unhelpful today, but we're going to count them anyway.
	Let's see how many trolls do we have.
	It is a Thursday, so 1893.
	That's kind of on par, I think.
	Yeah.
	1893, not bad.
	Thanks, trolls.
	It's good to have you here.
	I know you're not all horrible, just most of you.
	And you too can be a troll by going to trollroom.io.
	You can listen to the stream live, noagenestream.com, trollroom.io, and you can pop right into the chat room.
	I'm sorry, the troll room there.
	Normally it's a chat room, but when we're on, it's the troll room.
	And this troll room is going 24-7, all kinds of great shows.
	It is the best podcast network in the universe.
	And if you use one of those brand new podcast apps now featured in Podverse, Podcast Addict, and I guess those two right now, you'll get an alert when we go live.
	It's a new format that is originating in podcasting.
	We're dropping the YouTube, the video part.
	We're just doing live audio.
	With a troll room so people have a live studio audience and the same app is where you get the podcast if you couldn't listen to it live.
	But I actually catch myself going, oh, that show's going live.
	I'll listen in for a little bit.
	It's brand new.
	You should try it out.
	Or, follow us on noagendasocial.com.
	I knew that something drastic had gone wrong when you requested last night, you said, hey, I need a password reset for No Agenda Social.
	I knew something had happened.
	Did you get the password reset?
	No, not yet.
	I didn't look.
	Oh, there I was like pulling the car over to the side of the road to help you out and you didn't even look.
	I doubt you did that.
	So I was expecting it to take 24 hours at least.
	I spring to your aid whenever necessary.
	You can follow us.
	We've got 10,000 people there.
	You can follow me, Adam, at noagendasocial.com, John C. Dvorak at noagendasocial.com.
	There may still be a slot left or two if you want to join in and get one of those swanky social media addresses that is blocked by probably 500 different instances.
	Yeah, we're really popular out there in the Fediverse.
	Noagendasocial.com.
	A big thank you to the artist for episode 1525, we titled that one Mask in a Bottle.
	And speaking of communists, this was, uh, correct the record, he really, he was listening, he figured it out, we were joking about, uh...
	The new movie, Meet the Comrades.
	And sure enough, he put Lennon and Marx right there with a lie detector and used the whole movie poster, Meet the Comrades.
	And that was, I think that was kind of the best one.
	We looked at some other things, but it just worked.
	It was well done, too.
	It was nicely done as a fake movie poster.
	Yeah, I liked it.
	The other ones...
	It was just a nice piece.
	Yeah, what else was there?
	Was there anything that we saw that we liked?
	Well, I liked the recycling one, but it was kind of too small.
	Well, the green one?
	The green recycle?
	It just wasn't exciting.
	It wasn't exciting.
	No, it wasn't.
	Got another note on a cake.
	Yes.
	Dear John, sorry I spelled your name wrong.
	So it was a mistake.
	How can you spell John C. Dvorak as John D. Dvorak?
	That's a wild one, man.
	I think they did it on purpose.
	Artists, beware that you can't do stuff small.
	You may be looking at your full screen and thinking your art is great, but if it's small, it's not going to show up in a 256x256 or the off chance it's a 512x512 that may be displayed that way.
	It's just not going to show up, so we're going to look at that and make sure that that doesn't happen.
	I'd like to toast a couple of good eggs, which is an egg carton.
	Again, that was actually well done, but just not exciting.
	Nothing that would grab the attention like Marx and Lenin on a movie poster.
	We probably got a few people confused.
	Thought it was a great movie coming out.
	You can check out all of the artists' work by going to noagendaartgenerator.com.
	You can even do it while we're live and refresh the page because the artists, typically, they listen to the show in real time and starting to make stuff as we go along that they think will be fun and something that will catch everybody's eye, which is the whole reason why we change it.
	And not many podcasts do that because we truly operate on a value-for-value basis.
	Please deliver us time, talent, and treasure in return for any value that you get for this show.
	It could just be... What do you have?
	Again, Waterloo sparkling water.
	Okay.
	Plain.
	Alright, let me see.
	How's this?
	There you go.
	That, my friend, is Jack Daniels.
	In a can.
	So, you know, we have people doing websites, we have the art generator people doing art, people doing clips.
	Anyone can be a producer and should be a producer if we're talking about something that you happen to know about because it's your field of expertise and you think we've got something wrong, which we often do.
	Yeah, like the note we got from the cesium, the cesium-137 capsule.
	Exactly.
	This is the kind of stuff... Very educational.
	...that makes us the best podcast in the universe because we're the best producers in the universe.
	And we have executive and associate executive producers who keep the ball rolling here, the operation funded.
	We kick it off today with Richard Hall, who is from Hamilton, New Jersey, and comes in with $543.21.
	Says, here's part of my tax refund to support truly independent media.
	Also, I may have inflated some of my business deductions to get that refund, and this makes me feel less guilty about it.
	Please give attack season goat karma to all of Gitmo Nation.
	Okay, there we go.
	You've got karma.
	You got it.
	Now we have a note from Abu Dhabi.
	Abu Dhabi?
	Or Laura Coote.
	Abu Dhabi on deck?
	Laura Coote.
	Laura Coote.
	It says, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, $500.
	Nice.
	Craig Cortis, listening from Abu Dhabi, never misses a No Agenda show, and all he wants for his birthday on Friday, he's on the list, is to be an executive producer.
	This is a switcheroo then.
	Executive producer of the podcast.
	Since he has an extraordinary wife, who I believe is named Laura.
	Yes, I think so.
	Could be a daughter, but I think Laura Coote is his wife.
	Yes.
	Since he has an extraordinary wife, all his dreams, or at least a few of them, come true.
	There you go.
	Oh, so it's a switcheroo to Craig Cortis.
	Correct?
	Cortis.
	Excellent.
	Ah, so nice.
	What a great wife.
	Unless she's just being coy.
	She says all he wants is that, but he's not getting it.
	But she never says that, so.
	Jonathan Peckham.
	She's an extraordinary wife.
	Jonathan Peckham is in Bristol, Rhode Island.
	Shout out to the Rhode Island-Chicago Crossroads of America and the 133 slaves I met at the Nashville roller skating meetup.
	John, the Rhode Island Marine here.
	Finishing my journey to knighthood, goat karma to those in need, and knight me as Sir J. Purple Peck!
	You've got karma.
	By the way, looks like April 17th will be a meetup in Nashville.
	And the Keeper and I will be there.
	So John Kumar in London, UK, 333.33, and he's got some jingle requests up front.
	Donald loves Nazis.
	Rosie O'Donnell, nyet.
	Please get some jobs karma and some karma from my friend Molly, who has tragically passed away one year ago on February 9th.
	I know she's no longer here in body, but I'm sure she could use the karma wherever her spirit is.
	On the donation note, my Kindle app shows that I've read 33 books last year.
	I guess the universe is trying to send me quite the hint.
	The Kindle app says, how many books you've read, huh?
	Accept this late donation, three, three, three, blah, blah, blah.
	My birthday's on February 2nd, so please could I be added to the birthday list and you're on on the second Sunday?
	Well, you're going to be on this one.
	You're on this list.
	If we can remember, we don't do the, we can't do that.
	There's no way of keeping track of it.
	Hoping your overlords will drop the vax mandate soon.
	I think they have.
	So we can refuse Knicks can visit the... Oh, you mean the travel vax mandate.
	Hold on a second.
	Here's what I don't understand.
	His birthday is February 2nd.
	That's today.
	Yeah.
	So what... I don't understand.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	It seems that he's pushing for a future birthday.
	No, it's today!
	It's today.
	Oh, I'm not keeping track.
	It's the 33rd day of the year, by the way, which you didn't promote.
	I opened the show with it.
	No, I mean in the newsletter.
	No, we were like, hey, it's Groundhog Day!
	Like we were smart.
	And the real kicker we missed.
	You're right.
	Yeah.
	You're right.
	You're right.
	We missed it.
	We missed it.
	So how are we doing with the VAX mandate?
	You're keeping track of it?
	Well, for entering the country, that should end in April.
	But now it seems like nothing will end until May, apparently.
	So I'm not kidding myself.
	I don't think this is going to end at all.
	I think we're going to have another variant.
	I think they're going to have laws for more to be paid to Pfizer.
	Big Pharma is the scariest entity of all.
	Nothing else scares me more than those guys.
	Debbie Downer?
	That's right.
	Donald loves Nazis.
	Donald loves Nazis.
	CNN say that he's KKK, and he shouts a sick hail with it.
	Wow.
	Oh, classic.
	Oh, classic.
	Oh, man.
	Forgot all about it.
	I'm fine, I'm fine.
	It's stuck.
	Here we go.
	It won't stop.
	I can't turn it off.
	It's going forever.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	I'd forgotten how, uh, that jingle.
	Jason Smith is up next in Sioux City, Iowa.
	Keep this short.
	Sir Bernie Adama hit me in the mouth in 2016, and I've pretty much been the biggest douchebag in the history of douchebags since.
	Please de-douche me.
	You've been de-douched.
	Love to have some health karma for Sir Bernie and everyone else that needs it throughout the No Agenda universe.
	May I please have some jingles if it's not too much trouble?
	And he'd like, and he's $333.33, so he deserves, whole load, look at the juice, no and shut up slave, Jason.
	Well he says no.
	Which one does he want?
	I think he just wants the no.
	I so, no.
	Do we have a no?
	Just plain no.
	Yeah, if I could find it, I'm sorry.
	I don't know.
	Oh, here it is.
	I'll use this.
	I'll say no.
	Hold on.
	I'm gonna give you the whole load today.
	Oh my gosh!
	Can you see that juice?
	Oh, no, no.
	Shut up, slave!
	I think that was a good variation.
	That's better!
	Oh, no, no, I can't remember that one.
	Baron Gordon Walton from Austin, Texas, who doesn't know him.
	He actually put me on his family's Christmas newsletter, which I enjoyed very much.
	$333?
	Show needs more donations!
	Baron Gordon Walton donating towards my daughter Catherine's neighborhood.
	Aww, so beautiful.
	Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
	Jordan Hollingsworth comes in from Sylvan Lake, California with $3,250.93, which means, uh...
	Associate executive producer.
	I'm a small monthly donation plan, he says.
	But this is my first executive producer donation.
	Oh, this is 333.33 Canadian.
	So he gets bumped up.
	We'll remember to do that on the list, the final list.
	I write to you specifically, Adam, to ask for your help as I fear Sean Newman of the Sean Newman podcast will eventually be censored by our benevolent internet safety overlords in China-da.
	May I ask for you to come on his show to spread the gospel of Value for Value and have a conversation?
	No agenda in the Sean Newman podcast.
	Is this Sean Newman?
	No.
	No.
	We're integral in keeping my sanity during the March Madness 2020 and I want to continue that for more years.
	For any other Canadian listeners that want local perspective on the weekly goings-on, I suggest checking out his To Tuesday's Mask Shop every Tuesday.
	I have included his contact details below.
	I hope the donation is enough for you to reach out.
	And allow my two podcasting worlds to collide!
	Yeah, we'll finish and you can give us your two cents.
	Jingles, Fears, Freedom, You Will Obey and FOMER.
	Thank you for everything you both do.
	Also, Steve's a douchebag.
	I guess we need to put that in.
	And the Sean Newman podcast is the name of the podcast.
	Yes, and he wants Fears, Freedom, You Will Obey and the FOMER.
	Listen to that horn.
	Okay.
	You know, I did the Joe Rogan podcast.
	I'm going to kind of slow down a little bit and go on other people's podcasts, mainly because I have other things to do with my life.
	It takes a lot of time.
	It's hours.
	I just don't have that many hours in the day.
	There's a lot of prepping I'm doing.
	I'm doing stuff.
	I know, I know, I'm horrible.
	But, uh, I'll see.
	I'll see.
	But certainly not for a couple months.
	Just say you'll do it.
	No, I... Yeah, like the Grimerica guys.
	Just ask them.
	They know that eventually, after five years, I'll do it.
	Sure.
	Fear is freedom.
	Subjugation is liberation.
	Contradiction is truth.
	Those are the facts of this world.
	And you will all surrender to them.
	You pigs in human clothing.
	You will obey.
	Oh my God!
	Woo!
	Listen to that horn!
	All right, everybody.
	Christopher Hill, Parkerville, Australia.
	Aussie dollarydoos.
	Good day, gents.
	Please accept my donation.
	Well, we gotta bump him up, too.
	He's another bumper, that's right.
	He's 367.81 in Australian didgeridoos, so he becomes an exec as well.
	We do honor that.
	It's to the best podcast in the universe.
	This donation also makes me a knight.
	Can I be knighted?
	Sir Christopher Patrick Hilton.
	Can I have Vegemite on toast at the round table?
	Well, if you want it, yes, of course.
	Can I get a TTT Jobs Karma?
	It worked really well the last time.
	I'm pretty sure he means TTPP.
	Love and light.
	Of course we got that for you.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs.
	You've got karma. Jobs, jobs.
	Oops, sorry, sorry, a little extra there.
	Okay, I'm going to put this.
	Adam Adelmano in Milwaukee, Oregon.
	John!
	They had the right voice writing.
	John, your boomer takes on the history of the polio vax and why people are leaving the workforce stink, stink worse than an elevator full of Martha Stewart's.
	But I still want to take you guys to the Red Onion in Minnesota and give you $14,000.
	What?
	What?
	Well, what do we have to do?
	And why is he, what is he telling, what does he want us to go to Michigan, I'm sorry, Minnesota for when he lives in Milwaukee, Oregon?
	Because you're going to go there for your $14,000 and you're going to be dead in a week.
	I don't know.
	This sounds like a kidnap scam to me.
	I don't think it's very scary.
	I don't know, there's no details except the fact that my My white people are leaving the workforce.
	Stinks!
	And polio vaccine, even though I was there, stinks, but okay.
	You know, that's the great thing about our show.
	We don't make people think like us.
	We just present our thoughts and you can take it or leave it.
	Yeah, and you get to tell us what you think.
	Sandy Witten?
	By the way, it came in with $223.

	Nope.
	Ah, double up karma.
	You gotta resend it, man.
	Notes at NoahJennerShow.net.

	He did send some clips and some other things, but it wasn't a note about his donation, so... Okay.
	If he did, it wasn't sent to me.
	Mark in Coropolis, Pennsylvania, $200.
	No jingles, no karma.
	Thanks, Mark.

	Union Station, Leo Bravo reports.
	Hey everybody, it's Leo Bravo.
	I'm VDOT number 36.
	I'm passing the phone around for people to give us their greetings.
	Alright, this is Andy Rivera sending a ranch in the morning.
	In the morning, Jeff.
	Previously from New York City, now in LA.
	Hey guys, this is Thick Rick.
	I think, uh, I do believe I'll have another drink.
	And Reykjavik had a meetup.
	Yes, it happens all over the world.
	Here's a report from there.
	In the morning, John and Adam.
	Sir Storm Shade, night champion of the frozen wastes here for a post-meetup report from downtown Reykjavik.
	It's a handball grand final on that night, so it wasn't possible to record a report during the meetup.
	Anyway, it was a great little get-together with fellow listener Jerkook.
	I also invited two of my friends along, who were hitting the mouth over some drinks and burgers at the Lebowski Bar.
	I'm planning another future meetup with fellow YouTubers sometime this summer, either in June or July, so stay tuned to my YouTube channel, Vivid Iceland, for further updates, as well as, of course, the No Agenda Meetups website.
	Hope to see more of you here in the frozen volcanic north.
	Thank you for your courage.
	Bye!
	How interesting is it that there's a bar in Reykjavik called the Lebowski Bar?
	I mean, I'm just saying that's pretty interesting.
	They used to have a hard rock cafe in Reykjavik.
	Oh yeah, you had one everywhere.
	But they took that out, they took it out, and the problem is, I still think I have one, they used to have a hard rock Reykjavik sweater, like a t-shirt, only it was a big, like a sweater sweater.
	Probably counterfeit.
	Well, maybe, but it was definitely a collectible.
	If you're in Denver, Colorado, 6.30, Stroke Season Awareness Meetup kicks off today at Lincoln's Roadhouse.

	These are No Agenda Meetups.
	They are taking place all over the world.
	They are completely producer-organized.
	We do have a website, which is noagendameetups.com, so you can coordinate even better.
	Go ahead, go take a look at that.
	You can search, find something near you, look at some reports.
	And remember, if you can't find one near you, start one yourself.
	Noagendameetups.com.
	It's easy and always a party.
	Okay.
	Go hang out with all the nights and days.
	You want to be where you want me.
	Triggered on hell or lame.
	You want to be where everybody feels the same.
	It's like a party.
	Okay.
	I have a couple of assholes, I think.
	Hold on a second.
	uh...
	Yes, I do.
	First, I wanted to thank Rob Do, Sir Doocifer, for hearing the call.
	It's not one of my ISOs, but I did want to just play it.
	You will eat ze bugs.
	Yeah, there you go.
	Now, I had an ISO from another producer.
	You will eat ze bugs.
	That's good as well.
	Um, I like this one.
	Good job!
	Good job!
	Mayor Adams and... Bye!
	Bye!
	Which I kind of like.
	I kind of like the bugs.
	You have two good ones.
	You have the bugs ones are good, but those two other ones that you isolated... Yeah.
	They're hard.
	They're hard.
	It's a toss-up.
	Well, what do you have?
	Nothing.
	Oh, okay.
	I win!
	Let's see, uh... You definitely win.
	Good job!
	Good job!
	Kind of like, it's really clear, that's what I like about it, but this... Bye!
	Bye!
	It's also kind of good.
	You know, I think we're gonna go with the mayor because it seems to me that it's got more personality.
	But I like the other one.
	Well, we'll keep that one for you, you never know.
	Yeah.
	Now before we continue, I want to play a clip from a couple of shows ago we never got to.
	Okay.
	And this is from TikTok and you're looking under a talk egg cracking and there's two clips actually, but this is a, uh, you familiar with egg cracking?
	I am.
	Hold on a second.
	I just got to bring it up here.
	Yes, because I know what these clips are.
	No, you've seen them.
	But I, no, I mean, hey man, do you think I'm behind the world or something?
	Hey man.
	Hey man.
	Hey man, I've seen all these clips.
	Again, these are long.
	You know, you're kind of violating all types of... Yeah, but this clip, I've got to, that's why I didn't play him before.
	But this clip, this is a guy detransitioning, and he's suing some doctors, and I think he's going to get some attention for this, for malpractice, for For, I guess, I don't know what happened to him, but it doesn't sound pleasant.
	And, uh, I just want to play these clips.
	I think they're very educational.
	You get people online who, do you know what egg cracking is?
	No.
	Right, okay, let's have a little lesson.
	So, there's a subreddit everyone should check out called egg underscore IRL, which is basically a meme page for trans people to prove that they are really trans, so somebody who doesn't know they're trans is an egg.
	For instance, and I know it's crazy, this is how they recruit people, and it's like, for instance, you've got a pink shirt on, that's egg behaviour.
	Well it's Wednesday, we wear pink.
	I know.
	I'm gonna crack your egg though, that's what they'll say.
	And by cracking your egg, it's convincing you that you're actually trans.
	It's like the trampoline game where someone sits in the middle, they huddle up, and then people around them bounce, and then as soon as your arms and legs come apart, you've been cracked.
	Yes.
	It's a crowd of people trying to break you.
	Yeah it is, and you get people online bragging about how many people, how many eggs they've cracked, and how many people they've sent HRT to, and it's always adults sending it to children, which in itself is a grooming behaviour, because grooming, to touch on the earlier point, is the process of gaining trust for sexual gratification of the adult.
	And obviously, adults who send hormones to children Aren't doing it out of altruistic means, especially when they brag about it.
	It's very psychotic, it's very sadomistic, it's very perverted too.
	Big named streamers have done this.
	Yes, we have had one or two run-ins with a person who we will not name because we don't want to give them the clout.
	Yeah, unfortunately this is being aided and abetted by many platforms, again, because they want to be seen on the right side, whereas any other context, if this is heterosexual, unless of course you're a Muslim man and Rotherham, then it would be rightly condemned and prosecuted, but there is just a complete unwillingness to safeguard children here, and also vulnerable adults who... Why am I listening to a podcast?!
	I get it, I get it, it's called egg cracking.
	Alright, well I'll just skip those clips.
	But I do want to read this.
	And I think this is going to change, some things are going to change.
	Which is, and the headline is, Court Permanently Bans or Blocks Biden Administration's Transgender Mandate.
	What?
	Mandate?
	You didn't know about this?
	No.
	The federal court of appeals has permanently blocked the Biden administration's bid to force doctors and insurers to perform or pay for gender transition procedures.
	Oh, yeah.
	Even if they... I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	Keep going.
	Even if they object on grounds of conscience and medical judgment.
	With the court basing its decision on constitutional protections of religious freedom.
	The U.S.
	Court of Appeals for the 8th Court issued a unanimous ruling on December 9th last year blocking the controversial U.S.
	Department of Health and Human Services transgender mandate issued in 2016.
	The mandate interpreted the Affordable Care Act in a way that required doctors to perform gender transition procedures on any patient, including children, even if the doctor was convinced the procedure could harm the patient.
	And how do you feel about this, John?
	And it actually stems from HHS.
	Of course it does.
	And this is where all the money, you say, well, we can make money from doing this unless, since we have to do it.
	And, you know, we blame all these hospitals for coming around and saying, well, you know, you're going to do this, you're going to do that to your kid.
	But it turns out they had to do it.
	So they decided to make the best of it.
	But that's stopped now.
	So now I think things are going to start to turn around.
	I don't think anything's turning around.
	I think the programming is so incredibly strong and children have been... When you have people of authority, teachers mainly, who are just teaching this freely...
	In I think every state in the in the Union, you know, yeah, they try to stop some of it But it's there's a whole generation of teachers Who are doing this and there's and there's also a lot of teachers getting out of teaching because they can't this can't handle it How stupid it all is
	You know, and it's not just the gender stuff, it's the teddy bears, you know, for high school students, you know, emotional support animals, and really it's the drugs, it's the drugs we pump into children.
	As I said, I'm only afraid of, I'm not afraid of China, of Russia, I'm afraid of big pharma.
	That's what I'm afraid of.
	They're coming for every single one of us.
	They're coming for you first.
	The older the better.
	Get rid of the old people!
	So this brings us to DeSantis.
	You noticed I pronounced it correctly?
	Yes, you did.
	And his education plan, which I thought was kind of interesting because, you know, this guy is leading the pack in terms of Republicans who are trying to actually do something by actually doing something.
	And in Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis is introducing what he calls higher education reform for the state.
	He says it's to ban indoctrination at colleges and universities.
	Governor Ron DeSantis on Tuesday said higher education in Florida is focusing too much on political activism and not enough on teaching real skills.
	According to him, this is hurting students in the long run, so he wants to turn the situation around.
	Yeah, people like him a lot, and they're getting duped.
	Well, not duped, but big Wall Street money is behind Ron DeSantis, and the idea is to either fracture the party, people will be voting for Trump and DeSantis, For 2024, that's what it seems like.
	Like, he's going to run.
	And you're going to get exactly what you bargained for.
	Like, yeah, yeah, oh yeah, the Republicans are in charge now.
	And now Wall Street is going to screw you even more.
	It just seems a foregone conclusion.
	Well, I don't see it as a Wall Street screwing people thing.
	I think it's sub-segments.
	Bankers, maybe.
	Pharma, for sure.
	Yeah, big money.
	How about just billionaires and big money?
	Does that work?
	Yeah, it's better.
	Short one, Bill Gates cannot get away from his history with Jeffrey Epstein.
	This seemed to show up on something like Meta News.
	I'm not sure exactly what this news outfit was.
	But, you know, he just can't get away from this sordid history.
	And he got grilled again.
	I can't believe why he subjects himself to this, other than that he looks pretty guilty when he answers and fumbles.
	Now, one of the issues that's dogged you is that of your relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
	Do you regret the relationship that you maintained with him against Melinda's advice and wishes?
	Oh, I've said that I'm, I mean, this is, you're going way back in time.
	But yeah, I would say for the, you know, over a hundredth time, yeah, I shouldn't have had dinners with him.
	Um, Epstein had a way of sexually compromising people.
	Is that what Melinda was warning you about?
	Wow, I can't believe this question.
	No.
	No.
	I mean, it's... No, I had dinner with him, and that's all.
	No, it was one dinner, no.
	And you regret the relationship, the acquaintance?
	That I had dinner with him.
	And the relationship between the Foundation and Epstein?
	There never was any relationship of any kind.
	Oh, man.
	People are together.
	I was thinking about this.
	I saw this.
	This was on BBC or something.
	Was it BBC?
	I didn't think it was BBC.
	I thought it was.
	But anyway, he was trying to get out of this and he, you know, he should have said, he should have made it so it was part of the foundation that that's how he got suckered into having dinner with him because he was a big donor.
	That would make more sense than just having casual dinners with some guy, random guy.
	Out of the blue.
	Yeah.
	Which he never quite, which is a dumb way to get it.
	He never explained it.
	Why is he having, why did he meet this guy?
	I think it was, I think I know who introduced the two of them to be honest about it.
	Uh, how did he meet this guy in the first place?
	And then how did he, why is he having dinner with him after he met him?
	Yeah.
	Because he had the hot chicas.
	We all know.
	Uh, okay.
	I have a little bit of Africa stuff.
	Wait, wait.
	Let's have some good news first.
	Well, you mean good news or real news?
	Which one is it?
	No good news.
	Okay.
	This is the Baldwin clip.
	Oh, man.
	Good news.
	Actor and producer Alec Baldwin has formally been charged with involuntary manslaughter today.
	That's for the fatal shooting of cinematographer Helena Hutchins on the set of the movie Rust in 2021.
	The set's armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, was also charged.
	The Santa Fe County, New Mexico District Attorney's Office filed the charges following months of speculation.
	A probable cause statement says, quote, on the day of the shooting alone, evidence shows that no less than a dozen acts or omissions of recklessness occurred in the short time prior to lunch and the time of the shooting.
	And this does not include the reckless handling of the firearm by Baldwin.
	Attorneys for both defendants previously said their respective clients are innocent.
	Yeah, so he didn't show up for firearm training, and then when they did firearm training on the set because he didn't show up for it, he was on the phone with his family and chatting around.
	I think it's possible Hollywood makes an example out of him, sends him to jail for a year or two.
	What do you think?
	Well, I don't think anyone would bitch about it except him.
	No, but it's time.
	Someone has to pay.
	And he's an easy one to take care of because, you know, they... He's a loud mouth.
	He's a loud mouth.
	He's a problem child, so... And his wife is a... A weirdo.
	This is a weirdo.
	I've been tracking Africa.
	I just want to run through a couple of short clips.
	None of these are from US sources, I don't think.
	The first one is...
	It's kind of an overview of why everyone is rushing down to Africa.
	We've had Janet Yellen down there.
	A lot of people, a lot of leaders are going to Africa.
	You don't hear about it here in the United States, but it's happening.
	For years, Africa was at best a secondary concern for Germany.
	But after almost six months as German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz was on his way to the continent, stopping off in South Africa, Niger and Senegal, looking to strengthen ties and do deals.
	Africa is the continent next to Europe and it is ...of essence that we work intensely to have very good relations with... This is the German Chancellor, Chancellor Kohl.
	...all the states in Africa.
	But there was, and remains, another big reason for all the diplomacy and handshakes.
	Germany does require to diversify its resources, specifically energy resources.
	That is the main idea, you know, post-Russian-Ukraine conflict.
	This has become really clear to many that there needs to be more diversification.
	Germany knows Africa has a lot to offer when it comes to diversifying its energy supplies, particularly renewables.
	And in its new Africa Strategy, Berlin is quick to point out the need to help African countries make their own economies more climate-friendly.
	And that's not all.
	We don't want countries to be permanently dependent on us.
	We don't want to create some kind of neo-colonialism, but rather a partnership relationship.
	We see how Africa is developing, what potential for innovation there is, how many young people there are.
	And we want to build networks that are beneficial to both sides.
	Trust us.
	We're from the government.
	We want to be your friends.
	We want a partnership.
	We want a partnership with you.
	Let's see how that's going.
	So just what is driving that violence then in Eastern Congo?
	Let's look more closely at that now with our terrorism expert, Waseem Nasser, who joins me in the studio.
	And Waseem, let's talk about what's going on then in the province of North Kivu right now.
	We know there's the M23 rebel group.
	There's also the Islamic State, isn't there?
	Ah, see, this is what you do.
	You've got to bring in some ISIS, Islamic State, bring them in so that we can come in and save you Africans.
	Yes, of course.
	And the group there, either in North Kivu or in the Ituri, is targeting Christian civilians.
	We saw that in the last 10 days of 2022, there were more than five attacks, one of them against the church, army barracks and civilian houses.
	124 victims, 70 wounded, And 54 killed in the last 10 days of the last year.
	And if you look at this map here, we are putting on it what we assess as important attacks that showed a change in a trend.
	So of course the Casablanca attack that occurred on the 15th of January, but also the first attack against a church, bombing a church with the use of kamikaze attackers was back in Beni in June 2021, as we see on the map.
	And also, another important thing that happened in 2022 was the prison break of Butembo.
	And this shows us that they are following the playbook of the Islamic State Central.
	Yeah, when there's a playbook in play, then we know that we're part of it.
	And who else is in the Democratic Republic of Congo?
	The Pope?
	The Pope, who pretty much, as far as I'm concerned, works for China?
	This country and this continent deserve to be respected and listened to.
	They deserve to find space and receive attention.
	Hands off the Democratic Republic of Congo!
	Hands off Africa!
	Stop choking Africa!
	Africa is not a mine to be stripped or a terrain to be plundered.
	May Africa be the protagonist of its own destiny.
	This is going to be proxy.
	I think the new theater is Africa.
	We even have our UN ambassador.
	Do you remember her?
	Which one?
	Yeah, the new one.
	The new one.
	The, uh, the lady.
	New lady.
	I don't know.
	No, they mentioned it.
	This is Africa News, they mentioned her.
	She went down to Mozambique to, uh, you know, help out.
	The U.S.
	Ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, began her two-day visit to Mozambique by planting a mangrove tree and by collecting garbage at a local beach with volunteers.
	On arrival, she stressed the importance of America's work with the Southern African country, especially on the environment and climate change.
	I had the opportunity to plant five mangrove trees.
	I will be checking regularly to see that the trees survived.
	I would have planted more if I had more time.
	And I have my bag of garbage here that I helped to pick up on the beach.
	It's called a... Take it to Biden!
	It's called a diplomatic attaché.
	That bag of garbage.
	Bag of garbage.
	The ambassador is the second cabinet member of the U.S.
	government heading to Africa as part of President Joe Biden's big push to engage with the continent.
	It follows one by Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen to Senegal, Zambia and South Africa.
	Jelen is going to three or four different countries.
	It's great!
	And everywhere they go, carnage.
	Last one here.
	Nigeria.
	Doing great, everybody.
	Queues outside petrol stations and outside banks.
	Residents of Lagos wait for hours to get cash or fuel, but neither are guaranteed.
	Ahead of the elections, Nigeria's economy is facing two major crises.
	We're going to go.
	The first, a cash shortage sparked by the replacement of paper notes with newly redesigned ones as the nation hopes to curb money laundering.
	In spite of a January 31st deadline, banks don't have enough new currency to swap for the old notes which residents are handing in.
	A crisis which has left people cashless and has forced businesses to close.
	The deadline for handing in old notes has been pushed back to February 10th.
	Petrol shortages are also plaguing the country.
	Nigeria is Africa's biggest crude producer, yet relies on oil imports to meet local demand due to refineries operating below their capacity.
	Ah, there you go.
	So they had new money coming in.
	Oh, we didn't have enough money printed in time.
	Sorry.
	The country that... I think it's... Very strange stories.
	I do know one thing that we didn't have covered there, which is the Germans went to... South America?
	Get their energy from Africa.
	Yeah.
	Well, that was kind of the first... Yeah, it was the first one, but the methodology wasn't mentioned, which was the setting up solar arrays.
	Here, you get some green energy and we take all of your resources.
	We're going to set up solar arrays in a bunch of wind farms in different countries and then turn it into green hydrogen and then ship the hydrogen to Germany.
	That's the process.
	Meanwhile, Italy... I don't know why they used to run wires.
	Italy made it, this is probably the most sensible deal, with Libya.
	This was, this is also not available except on Africa News.
	Italian energy giant Eni signed an $8 billion gas deal with Libya's state-run national oil corporation.
	His prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, held talks with Libyan interim prime minister, Abdelhamid Beiba, in Tripoli to discuss energy in migration.
	So Meloni went to Tripoli, to Libya, and made a deal.
	And they're going to buy natural gas from them.
	That's completely outside of the EU idea.
	I think.
	Yeah, that's why you didn't hear about it.
	It's great.
	So smart.
	Hell's breaking loose everywhere.
	I got a Haiti clip, new update of Haiti.
	Oh yeah, that's good.
	But it needs a warning.
	Stop it right there.
	Why are we extraditing murderers in Haiti to face prosecution here?
	It's not a colony.
	Four key suspects in the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moise have been extradited to the United States to face prosecution.
	The Justice Department said Tuesday three Haitian Americans and a...
	Why are we extraditing murderers in Haiti to face prosecution here?
	It's not a colony.
	It's not a protectorate.
	Depends on what resources were crimes were committed against.
	It was some of our shit.
	We're gonna take care of you here, son.
	What exactly did he do?
	Well, they murdered the Prime Minister.
	Well, that's not good.
	Well, we know that, but...
	Should we be going to the International Criminal Court?
	Yeah, at least.
	That would be at least something.
	We don't recognize that.
	I don't know what the deal is.
	This seems... Something's phony about this.
	Let's start it over.
	I'm sorry.
	No problem.
	We'll start it over.
	Four key suspects in the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moise have been extradited to the United States to face prosecution.
	The Justice Department said Tuesday three Haitian Americans and a Colombian national faced charges that include conspiracy to commit commit murder and providing material support and resources resulting in death.
	This comes 18 months after Moise was fatally shot at his home near the capital, Port-au-Prince, July 7, 2021.
	Dozens of suspects have been arrested, but the case has been at a standstill as Haiti faces a political and humanitarian crisis.
	Haitian authorities say other suspects still remain at large.
	No one really wants to deal with Haiti right now.
	Well, we barely do.
	Yeah, but we'd be dragging these guys over here to be hung.
	I don't know what they're... It's always beyond me.
	The same thing with the... I've said this for years.
	The Julian Assange thing.
	This guy's not an American citizen.
	He's got nothing to do with us.
	And we're trying to hang him for being a traitor.
	How does that even work?
	Yeah.
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	And you think Amy, in all her wisdom, will at least try to explain it or bring somebody on, one of her famous experts, you know, to talk about it?
	No.
	Well, then I will leave you with this clip from my end as I'm pretty sure that Rotterdam, the port of Rotterdam and the Netherlands itself is the crime capital of the European Union.
	But we have a contender!
	Belgium coming in close from Antwerp.
	The port of Antwerp in Belgium has become the number one gateway for Latin American cocaine destined for Europe.
	The trade's controlled by powerful international gangs and comes with high levels of violence and corruption.
	The problem's so acute that Antwerp's mayor is calling for the army to be deployed.
	Terry Schultz reports.
	The recent shooting death of an 11-year-old girl in her family home in Antwerp, believed to be an accidental killing in a dispute between gangs, has drug culture researcher Thun Votten fearing attacks will now spiral.
	Belgian authorities seized 110 tons of cocaine last year, a record.
	But they estimate that's only about 10% of what's imported, not enough to disrupt criminals' business.
	They're boosting their efforts, planning to deploy more than 100 extra people at the port, along with new scanning equipment.
	But the added scrutiny may make smugglers even more determined to recruit insiders to help get the cocaine onto land they're already targeting port employees.
	They approach you very directly, show pictures of your family, of your kids, of friends.
	This is not a very subtle way of working.
	It's a real threat.
	Oh man, Belgium's gonna pull ahead of Holland.
	This is crazy.
	Never thought that would happen.
	I think you're being optimistic.
	Not really.
	Yeah, just go to the port employees.
	Hey, I got a picture of your wife and kids.
	Okay, how much cocaine do you want me to approve?
	Seems easy.
	All right, everybody.
	Meetups galore.
	NoahJenAtMeetups.com.
	Make sure you check them out.
	We'll be back on Sunday, obviously, with another full-on three hours or more of deconstruction of your mainstream media, whatever is out there.
	If it's not there, we'll go and find it from other countries.
	Thank you to all the producers, execs, associate execs, and people just sending us cool ideas.
	Up next on NoahJenAtStream.com, we have Bandrew Says.
	And that can be listened to on noagenestream.com or trollroom.io.
	End of show mix is Charles Couch, DJ Lex One, Steve Jones, and Maddie J. Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, In FEMA Region No.
	6 in the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I remain, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We return on Sunday right here on NO Agenda.
	Please remember us at dvorak.org slash NA.
	Until Sunday, adios mofos for the hooey hooey and such.
	Just as it's fighting season or this fighting season is over in Ukraine, it's stroke season in Canada.
	Out.
	After flu season, about three or four weeks later, there is a stroke season.
	Have you noticed how many strokes we're seeing?
	It's a lot more than usual.
	Your blood type may affect your risk of an early stroke.
	Well, let's try to reverse engineer some bullshit so we can make an excuse for this craziness.
	It's morning.
	Remember when we chillin' on the train and tame?
	We avoid lockin' eyes to play the silly game.
	Decide to write bars all the way to pape.
	When it hit me, no agenda style it came.
	In the morning, get up and get the day.
	Sleepin', procrastinate is not the way.
	Social media and Stevia, no cream for me.
	Please and thanks, sometimes I like it sweet and deep.
	Like my mind in limbo, in between chores and tasks.
	No agenda is the place for a media blast.
	Busting out funny raps increase the intellect.
	Cause you know what I like to disrespect?
	Every piece of shenanigans, flanigans, take out the trash.
	Andy Milonakis and his friend again.
	What?
	These are worky bars, dollar store, Snickers and Mars.
	87 cents, that's a deal, and I still feel.
	Why you coming at me for real?
	Like Jaleel, originator of the big frames appeal.
	Suspenders, not fenders.
	Rainbow stripes, that's for real.
	What?
	That's the essence of no agenda, probably.
	Without missing a beat, you don't get an accidental nature-created pandemic of evil in your life.
	And also be perfectly prepared to profit from it.
	Without missing a beat.
	Be perfectly prepared to profit from it.
	...without missing a beat... ...while simultaneously censoring all dissent... ...firing doctors... ...without missing a beat... ...creating joblessness... ...shutting down mom and pop shops... ...without missing a beat... ...without missing a beat... ...so Jeff Bezos and other big, grand, World Economic Forum participants...
	Without missing a beat.
	Reap the benefits.
	Profit from it a thousand ways from Sunday without missing a beat.
	So it sounds like a cartel with a plan who has conspired against me, you, and everyone else we've ever met in our lives.
	Without missing a beat.
	without missing a beat.
	Every single day.
	Bombs.
	Every single day.
	Every single day.
	It's a big planet, but that's a lot of energy.
	Exploding.
	Every single day.
	Every single day.
	Every day.
	Every single day.
	Every single day.
	Bombs exploding.
	Every single day.
	Every single day.
	It's a big planet, but that is an enormous amount of energy.
	This is real!
	400,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs going off every day.
	bombs 500,000 hiroshima class atomic bombs exploding every day 600,000 hiroshima class atomic bombs exploding every single day When junkies can't use the veins in their arms and legs anymore, they shoot between their toes.
	That's the climate crisis.
	Massive death every 24 hours.
	We have to solve the democracy crisis in order to solve the climate crisis.
	You know, but unfortunately, the crisis is quite literally insane.
	Look at what's boiling the oceans, and melting the ice, and droughts, and rain bombs, creating these atmospheric rivers, and raising the sea level, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and haunting these waves of climate refugees predicted to reach one billion in this century!
	Look at the xenophobia!
	from just a few million refugees.
	What about a billion every single day?
	And the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600 million Hiroshima-glass atomic bombs exploding every single day on the Earth.
	That's what's boiling the ocean.
	The best podcast in the universe.
	Good job!
