About this episode

The World Health Organization and global health officials face intense scrutiny as California and New York declare states of emergency following a surge in COVID-19 cases. Dr. Marc Lipsitch of Harvard University issued a startling projection that up to 70 percent of the global adult population could become infected, while the FDA identified critical vulnerabilities in the pharmaceutical supply chain due to a reliance on Chinese manufacturing. These developments have triggered a wave of event cancellations, including Google I/O and South by Southwest, as the Federal Reserve implements emergency interest rate cuts to stabilize volatile markets.

Secondary stories include the World Health Organization declaring the end of the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo after 2,200 deaths. In the United States, HHS Secretary Alex Azar dismissed whistleblower allegations regarding inadequate safety protocols for workers receiving evacuees from Wuhan. Meanwhile, the James Bond film No Time to Die was postponed by seven months, a move financial analyst Ray Wang characterized as a symptom of media-induced panic. On the political front, Chris Matthews resigned from MSNBC following allegations of inappropriate behavior reported by Laura Bassett, and Michael Bloomberg suspended his presidential campaign after a disappointing Super Tuesday performance despite spending 600 million dollars.

Adam Curry reflects on his recent appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, where he managed Tourette's symptoms with cannabis while discussing the Podfather legacy. The episode features a formal peerage ceremony for Sir Matt Knight of the Casa Loma Wonders and Dame Phoenix of the Port. Listeners share stories of being hit in the mouth with the show's content, while the hosts deconstruct a C-SPAN caller's theory about coronavirus traveling in bubble wrap.

Adam Curry Joe Rogan Experience Appearance Review

Adam Curry reflects on his three-hour appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, expressing concern over failing to mention the No Agenda Show URL. The discussion covers Rogan's introduction of the show, Curry's decision to smoke cannabis during the interview to manage his Tourette's symptoms, and the subsequent audience reactions on YouTube. Curry also mentions missed opportunities to credit Dave Jones for the Freedom Controller and Justin the drug dealer.

00:00 Don't kiss! Selling flip phones and broadcasting live from Opportunity Zone 33 in the frontier of Austin, Texas. Capital of the drone star state In The Morning everybody I'm Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley where we are reeling from Joe Rogan fever. I am John C DeVore. It's Crackpot & Buzzkill! Alright...I have to tell you and i'm sure you know this..i've been incredibly nervous

00:40 Since I got home last night. Because there are only really two people in the world, I trust to tell me the truth Tina of course but yeah she loves me and there's you! And...and the fact that you have not tweeted retweeted made a comment or anything about The Rogan Appearance has me and i know i fucked up some things but it has me very concerned I only got to the psilocybin part, so i'm not... Oh my god! I haven't heard the whole thing. Oh my god really? oh okay.. I have-I had a show to do Yeah me too, I know. I also traveled Yes you uh probably had more to do than I did Okay But! yes

01:30 My daughter watched the whole thing. Which kept me accrued in and I have a report. One, although it was mentioned very nicely by Joe in the intro to the podcast which is really what matters. That's where that's where the bulk of everything comes from When I saw the podcast there was no intro he was just you were halfway through the podcast He started off hey by the way we're on the air and then No no no that I think that must have been the YouTube the podcast itself The audio version starts off and he said Adam Curry no agenda show because

02:14 Not at a single point ever did I mention the URL no agenda show calm that is a an Incredible faux pas and this was also pointed out. Oh, it's really with Jamie within you had three hours And you never said no agenda We talked a lot about no agenda and different don't know agenda our generator and no agenda shop But I never actually said no agenda show when I had the opportunity I foolishly Completely spaced and did not promote animated no agenda. Very, very disappointed in myself for that. Oh that's why she said she's not gonna do any more!

02:53 Also, I forgot to mention Dave Jones who built the Freedom Controller. I had an opportunity to say that and he deserves that credit And I know i'm in big trouble because I did not give a shout out to Justin the drug dealer So those are things I know that that I goofed up on but I'm happy to hear the report You were twitching? Yeah people were making comments about it and I saw that and I didn't think was anything out of the ordinary It wasn't out of control. Well, let's just talk about that blinking a lot Yes, well, let's just talk about it for a second I already knew that I would never be able to relax enough to have a great conversation and get through however long we were gonna talk so I did have in my mind my secret weapon which I deployed about an hour into the show and I said hey

03:46 Let's smoke some weed because then I can tell you about how crazy my Tourette's is." And we had a nice chat about it and that at least made me feel comfortable myself, fully cognizant that i'm ticking and twitching away and i'm out of control when i'm on weed. What's interesting about this in the comments because I looked at some comments on YouTube and stuff So people be like Adam blink three times if you're in danger But a common one was Dude is on Adderall. He's tweaking he's completely coked out I got a lot of that which I thought was interesting, but I also I also got You know some some people who have some possible fixes

04:27 Say well this may not be actually Tourette's it may be What is it? It's the There's a couple of books on somatic experiencing. Yeah, and so apparently if you have this trauma that has stuck here flight fight freeze that happens during traumatization events at raumatizing events and how the limbic system and nervous system keep memories in the body So it could be that when I get tense or something's triggering it, something very old is stuck in there. That's very possible so there may be some solutions for me yet. I'm sticking with the Tourette's if anybody wants to know why you can ask me why? Hey! Why? Hold on one two three four five six seven eight... Eight only eight cars today. Economy is stable

05:23 The reason I say that is because, I've talked to you about this before. I saw this really two or three hour special on Tourette's which was very sympathetic with and you and I can talk about your Tourette's and all the rest of it. And one of the elements of all Tourettes sufferers as they like to put it is their neat freaks. OCD And you are one of those. Yeah, although I still kind of disagree with you on that but... Well that would be typical! That's why I thought Scott Adams had Tourette's because he blinks a lot and and he's very fastidious

06:04 Well, Joe was really cool. I got to tell you, I had a really good time it was... Yeah looks like you guys got along We got we got along That's my only concern to be honest about Oh my god! We fell into it right away and he is really nice He is very very nice guy not that I expected him not to be Cuz she's like, wow dude you're super super nice. He even called me last night although it's an unknown number comes through so I'm like no reject and then he texted me they said that yeah he really enjoyed it I think that's kind of the if the host of the show contacts you after the show and says that was cool then I think that's sitting down with Carson Oh well I said that literally as well I said this is The Tonight Show Of Our Era And man! It's-the stuff that is coming in John this gonna be so good for the show listen to this

06:51 Hey Adam, I'm the director of content partnerships at Audio Boom. We host distribute and monetize podcast content! I wanted to reach out to see if you'd be interested in working with Audio Boom to help you secure some sponsorship opportunities for your podcasts. That's what i like about guys they don't even bother listening to the show they don't know anything about it and they're starting to offer sponsorships this is like that you're gonna get a lot of things hey we've got a guest for your show that you'll love Well, yes.

07:42 Smoke a blunt with Rogan and then hop on the 405 to the 101. Whoo! Well, at least you don't have to worry about getting into a high-speed accident. No no that's true. That's true So anyway, yeah well it seemed like it was a winner and my daughter thought I was good she did she thought that you uh that Rogan kind of slapped you aside when you tried to really promote the show. Really? Except for one time except for one time That's interesting so she felt that you were not being allowed to plug the show much. Huh I'm hmm...that's interesting

08:19 I mean in three hours and we talked about all kinds, i mean i talked about you a lot actually. Oh that's sweet! Well no specifically... Did he get my name right or am I still Bill Dungas or whoever thought it was before?

CHAPTER 02 / 48 Discussion

Travel Logistics and Airport Hotel Efficiency

A discussion regarding travel efficiency focuses on the benefits of staying at the Marriott LAX due to its proximity to the airport and the convenience of an on-site Hertz rental office. The conversation compares these accommodations to hotels located directly inside terminals at international airports like Amsterdam and Gatwick.

marriott lax· hertz· airport hotels· travel logistics· amsterdam airport· gatwick airport

09:44 You know, I had an 8 a.m flight the next morning so i just you know go down yeah but those early super early flights which you end up taking a lot when you're someplace else are so inconvenient but it's like the only flight you can get if you want to direct fly. I gotta leave the hotel at 5 30 in the morning why am I even here? Well and that's why you get a hotel at the airport! Yeah then you just slop out of bed walk through the gate your hooked there well not quite you got to pop on the shuttle from the Marriott but um yeah no that was okay I like the ones that are actually inside the airport itself. Yes, like in Amsterdam. Gatwick has that but the thing about the Marriott is they have the Hertz rental office right there in the hotel so... Oh! That's nice yeah it was and and uh and the car they've got a 20-car lot there so everything was there so it's perfect for doing that anyway on the travels no precheck of course traveling alone not with the with the keeper my magical pre check lady

10:42 So none of that. And it was interesting to see how people were dealing with coronavirus, the first thing I noticed is they still have the damn Zika signs up in the TSA line! Someone's gotta work on the print shop there! Come on guys roll into one thing and in fact which brings us to a clip... Oh do tell! Where is this clip? Yeah, this is it. Now this is the talking about you got to move he's gonna move from one thing to another You gotta move and this is a good example This is the ebola's over

CHAPTER 03 / 48 Discussion

World Health Organization Declares Congo Ebola Outbreak Over

The World Health Organization reports that the Democratic Republic of the Congo has discharged its last Ebola patient, signaling the potential end of the second-worst outbreak in history. The report notes that over 2,200 people died during the 18-month crisis. The hosts critique past media coverage of the virus and transition into observations about designer face masks seen in Los Angeles.

world health organization· congo· ebola· virus· cnn· healthcare

11:19 The World Health Organization had some good news about a virus that's plagued the world for quite a bit longer than coronavirus, Ebola. The Congo has discharged its last Ebola patient raising hopes there that the end of the outbreak may be in sight. The Congo has been hit hard for over a year and half losing over 2200 people to the contagion second worst Ebola outbreak in history It was compounded by security concerns, including lawless areas that medical workers had difficulty reaching for fear of militants or criminal groups. But now it's been two weeks since the last new case was confirmed at this rate officials may declare the Ebola outbreak over in a matter of weeks.

12:11 Well glad I could play some jingles then. We got a little mileage out of him just before it went away Went away for good the Ebola, that's fantastic Yeah, we're rid of Ebola If it was as bad as it is, how come they only killed 2200 people? Especially in the areas where there were terrorists that didn't allow them to work together. Well we remember the phony baloney CNN footage of kids laying down on the street the minute the camera panned to them... just weird reporting and don't really know exactly how severe it was What was interesting on the flight to LA was the face masks. There were some masks and I have to say props to LA, they were designer! I saw a lady with an actual Gucci facemask on the plane. Yes, props to LA. Oh my goodness... And by the way apparently these masks don't work

13:09 And all the medical people say these masks don't work and people are hoarding them, and they don't like the fact that they're hoarding them. Give it to the medical people because apparently if they don't work, they somehow work for the medical people." Well I understood it differently my understanding is the mask And if you think about a surgical situation, these are surgical masks. You look at the surgical situation and in the operating room the doctors and nurses everyone's wearing a mask Why? Are they afraid of some virus jumping out of the cut open body? No! So they don't hawk their stuff and viruses out into this sterile environment so it is really more for sick people

Tennessee Tornadoes and Nashville Disaster Recovery

A severe tornado outbreak in Tennessee caused significant destruction, making landfall near Nashville and resulting in at least 19 fatalities. Sir Patrick Coble, the Duke of the South, reported being safe despite the storm passing within 20 miles of his location. The hosts criticize national news networks for burying the disaster coverage under continuous coronavirus reporting.

tennessee· nashville· tornadoes· patrick coble· natural disaster· emergency response

13:50 So when someone's wearing a mask, I think you're probably sick. If you have it that's when you should be wearing a mask not if you don't have it but I agree I don't think they're going to be particularly effective well who knows yeah But the most important thing for me and luckily got an email back this morning Sir Patrick Coble the Duke of the South is safe It was pretty bad what went down in Tennessee and it made landfall only about 20 miles east of where he is. His direct family and friends are okay, but he has friends...and friends of friends who were in the hospital lost their house lost a family member. Yeah, tornadoes for people out there that don't know what Adam's talking about Oh I'm sorry well actually thank you because it was so pushed down in the news and compared- And it was kind of sick compared to the news about coronavirus

14:42 It's like, wow. Could you just mention the 19 people minimum who just died in Tennessee and like in Nashville? Like what a wreck or what a mess it was pushed down on the networks. It was not at the top of the news because you COVID-19 but it was up there with either second or third story that I was in the first block so it wasn't done that much. But you know, the incessant hammering that you get is just like oh please stop the hammering So, karma for everybody in Nashville and Murfreesboro because they need it right now. No rain stick can help with that! Now let's... I do want to get some...I have some COVID-19 clips Okay, would you rather do Super Tuesday before we go into...because i got a lot of Kung Flu stuff? Ah, Super Tuesday Or not, however you feel about it

California and New York Coronavirus State of Emergency

California and New York officials declared states of emergency as COVID-19 cases surged, including a cluster linked to the Grand Princess cruise ship. In New York, approximately 1,000 people were ordered into self-quarantine following the hospitalization of a Manhattan attorney. The first reported death in California involved an elderly passenger from a round-trip voyage to Mexico.

15:40 Let's do some COVID-19. Screw the Tuesdays! Well, let's start with the update then this is the COVID-19 ship and the update is ABC's wrap In Los Angeles, a state of emergency. In New York City tonight about 1,000 people are now under self-quarantine all possibly coming in contact or linked to one man who was hospitalized in critical but stable condition tonight his wife two children and a neighbor all testing positive one of his children at college student classes canceled there In Los Angeles, that state of emergency. Six new cases there including an airport worker doing medical screenings at LAX The death toll in the US rising to at least 11 tonight The first death from California A passenger on a cruise ship during a round trip voyage from San Francisco ABC's Whit Johnson leading us off with the efforts to contain the virus here in New York and across the country

16:34 Tonight a scramble that contained the spread of the coronavirus in New York about a thousand people ordered to self quarantine all Possibly connected to one patient in this hospital. That is another One two, three four five people and again all off this one Attorney they're going to be hundreds unless just That 50-year old father now hospitalized in Manhattan in critical but stable condition. His wife, two kids a neighbor who drove him to the hospital and another family connected to his law firm testing positive too The number of cases jumping to 11 A local public school district now closing to disinfect the buildings

17:18 In California tonight, health officials say this Grand Princess cruise ship is likely linked to the state's first death from the coronavirus and a second infection. An elderly patient possibly exposed while traveling from San Francisco to Mexico The CDC now investigating a small cluster of cases of COVID-19 in Northern California traced back to that ship There is almost nothing as infectious as fear It's really being played hard on this now. Well, you wanna see? Okay, I'm gonna skip to my good clips! Heh heh... Well that was just an updated backgrounder, uh, I get it Let's go to COVID-19 death rate higher. The World Health Organization said Tuesday the global death rate from the disease caused by the new coronavirus is 3.4 percent, far deadlier than a seasonal flu. The warning came as the number of coronavirus deaths outside China surpassed the number inside China for the first time

Harvard Expert Predicts Massive Global COVID-19 Infection Rates

Dr. Marc Lipsitch of Harvard University provided a startling projection to CBS News, estimating that 40% to 70% of the world's adult population could be infected by the coronavirus. The hosts perform calculations based on these figures, suggesting such a scenario would result in millions of deaths in the United States. They express skepticism regarding the accuracy of these mathematical models compared to seasonal flu data.

harvard university· cbs news· jim axelrod· mathematical modeling· mortality rates· pandemic

18:14 Washington State Tuesday reported another coronavirus death, the ninth in the region. In New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said Tuesday a Manhattan lawyer has become the second person in the city to test positive for the new coronavirus You know, I love it when they just throw all these numbers out and... I saw Pooper on CNN do one that he didn't even correct and it was reading right from the prompter. ...moments ago the death toll climbing to 105 cases across the United States six people have died all in Washington State four of them residents of a nursing care facility near Seattle So what you meant to say was 105 over 110 cases but he said the death toll

18:53 Yeah, of course. Makes nothing but sense if you listen to this clip This is a this is right from CBS They ran this thing and it's really seems to be a long clip as 149 It actually went for about two and a half minutes And this was a expert from Harvard Oh the expert The guy who's gonna tell us how many people are going to get infected? And how many people are gonna die? Well, wait a minute. We all know Who's gonna die don't we I We're all gonna die. Worldwide, the coronavirus... I'm sorry? This is coming close to saying that!

19:34 Worldwide, the coronavirus death toll now tops 3,000 with nearly 90,000 cases. But even those numbers are nothing compared to what could happen in the months ahead. Today CBS News' Jim Axelrod spoke with one of this country's top experts from Harvard on viruses who has a startling prediction The number that I think is grabbing a lot of people is this estimate 40-70% of the world's adult population could be infected Is it accurate? That is a projection, so we will find out if it's accurate as things go on. It is the best estimate that I've been able to make based on a combination of the mathematical models that we use to track and predict epidemics. So in terms of addressing the numbers that may get people panicked what can you tell us

20:26 Well, again the 40 to 70 percent is a number in fact of proportion of the population adult population infected and we know that some people who get this infection have no or almost no symptoms whatsoever. What we don't know is how many there are like that, so if say that's half the people then the 1% or 2 percent that were seeing in a symptomatic people is cut down by half. Right Whatever the number is it's going to be...it's gonna take a toll If it really does spread as widely as that projection says and that's what I think is likely happen

21:09 then there are going to be millions of people dying. And I don't think there's any way to get around that. And so I think there's real reason for people to be concerned. Thank you for spending an extra couple minutes on that, that was worth it! Now notice I've marked this clip archive because if you do the calculations that this guy said at least 200 million Americans are gonna get infected... At least one of us too is going to be dead Well, actually 3.5% of the two of us will be dead but where if we take that number and you go three point five That means we're gonna have seven million dead Americans by the time this thing is over and by the way World War 2 400 thousand dead yeah Americans Yeah So we're gonna have 7 million dead Americans just what this guy just said yeah

22:10 I mean, he didn't do the math for us. I'm doing the math but that's what he said so let's just even cut that in half to three million Let's cut it down to one million which is like not even close to his numbers So there's gonna be a minimum of 1 million debt? I'm not buying this No Of course not and and it was a lot of odd things happened So when I got in Monday, in LA I watched a lot of TV. I watched a lot of local TV because you know they were gearing up for Super Tuesday and everything and it's the way

Economic Impact and Major Event Cancellations

The coronavirus outbreak has led to the cancellation of major tech and entertainment events, including Google I/O and various conferences in San Francisco. While Austin Mayor Steve Adler initially resisted canceling South by Southwest, major participants like Netflix began withdrawing from the festival. The Federal Reserve responded to market volatility with an emergency interest rate cut as global travel and hospitality sectors faced mounting losses.

south by southwest· google i/o· federal reserve· stock market· austin· san francisco

22:52 Let me put it this way, having traveled out I didn't see except for the odd Gucci face mask. I didn't see people overly worried. I didn't see people standing within three feet from other people. No one's afraid to shake my hand none of this! Now there are people who are susceptible you know a large amygdala stuff and they get very tripped out by but really this is an incredible virus It's a media virus and it really affected the stock market, and we've seen this of course in interesting ways. And then the Federal Reserve cuts the rate while the rest of the G7 countries are saying well they're waffling like we don't know what we're gonna do with our interest rates. Of course they have negative interest rates I don't know what they're gonna cut just gonna start handing out money to people on the street here you go is your debt whatever they're going to say

23:45 I think that was an odd, odd move. And you see the things that are being cancelled... Let me just have a little list here We have MIP TV. And by the way, there's an investment opportunity for people like shorting the market I think all these entertainment venues are going to be toast if this even just dawdles on any longer one more month So we have and this is very strange what's going on Austin you'd expect Austin to be lockstep in on this Mayor Adler has said, no we're not considering canceling South by Southwest. And let me tell you next to Formula One South by Southwest is the moneymaker for Austin so while I totally agree with him i'm not sure exactly why he's doing this this is not his normal stance when it comes to nut job stuff

24:41 But everyone's pushing back. Netflix is now joining the growing South by Southwest exodus over coronavirus worry, so they're pulling out of South by Southwest this thing is gonna get cancelled There will be no stopping it. We've had two or three or four events in San Francisco, the Google I-O, I think there's an Apple thing maybe a couple other conferences...four conferences and that's San Francisco has enough trouble attracting conferences nowadays with all the poop on this street and homelessness. It's hard not to laugh! Now they're just canceling out of their place. They canceled the city done well how about this for a cancellation

James Bond Film Postponement and Media-Induced Panic

Producers of the James Bond film "No Time to Die" announced a seven-month delay in its release, pushing the premiere from April to November due to global marketplace concerns. Financial analyst Ray Wang of Constellation Research suggests the situation has evolved into a media-induced panic, predicting that by May the virus will be viewed as a standard part of the population's viral landscape.

no time to die· james bond· billie eilish· ray wang· media panic· film industry

25:23 Before we go tonight, some very bad news for Bond fans. The release date for the new James Bond film No Time to Die has been pushed back by seven months to November It's nothing to do with an evil villain or a femme fatale Nope it's the coronavirus Producers say they acted after an evaluation of the global marketplace but actually Now, let me say that to cancel or postpone the launch of a Bond movie

26:04 for seven months. That is not cheap! They were ramping up, they were getting going they already got the theme song was being promoted with what's-her-face Billy Eilish they've got trailers running this is like wow and now I understand if they really think theaters won't be full in a few months okay I get it but what are you really propagating? Italy Everything shut down now. Willow couldn't travel to Spain, everything's shut until March 15th minimum The Ultra March Festival in Miami big music festival cancelled

26:49 It's like meanwhile over in the financial world You've got a whole different kind of analysis at least ones that I picked up to share understand that but this is you're gonna hear ray Wong he from Constellation research, you know one of these financial research firms understand that but when is this bread gonna be under control? I think by May we're gonna realize that this is just like any other virus. It's in the population, it impacts about 0.1 to 0.5 percent of the people but it doesn't look like it right now and people are completely scared in a media-induced panic Wait a minute...a media induced panic? Tell me more!

COVID-19 Testing Shortages and HHS Whistleblower Allegations

HHS Secretary Alex Azar addressed concerns regarding the lack of widespread testing in the U.S. and allegations from a whistleblower regarding inadequate training for workers receiving evacuees from Wuhan. During an interview on Face the Nation, Azar defended the administration's response and dismissed claims that the virus was spreading due to improper safety protocols at West Coast quarantine sites.

alex azar· margaret brennan· hhs· wuhan· whistleblower· cdc

27:28 Yeah, it is. Because what's happening is if you... So we've got a lot of friends that are actually doing the testing people are going to the hospitals or getting pulmonary panels and in the pulmonary panels they're finding the original coronavirus not COVID-19 they're finding rhinovirus right? This is prevalent in the population and when you look at some of the Johns Hopkins studies It's gonna be 40% to 60% on the populations gonna have it in population And 0.1 percent is gonna be fatal and a lot of people get sick just like the flu But right now it is so hard to figure that out because we're short on facts, we're short on information. We don't trust what's coming out of China and we don't know what's in the U.S. population because we haven't tested the population yet." Yeah there you go. Well along those same lines this to complicate matters more besides what he said which is a good clip play the COVID-19 two strains

28:19 And I wanted to get your reaction to this global headline tonight. China, there's a new study out tonight showing that there could be two strains of this coronavirus? Which we see for example in other viruses like influenza This small study out of China showing two strains one more common and one more transmissible We don't know yet about which one is more common here in the US Somewhere I think i had a two strains clip let me try this on you This is just more of the the media hype and this was very telling to me. This was Margaret Brennan By way, she related to John Brennan in any way

28:55 I hope not. They don't look the same! No kidding, this is Face The Nation and she has Alex Azar on our Health and Human Services Secretary who i think is doing a pretty reasonable job he's taking a lot of incoming his beard looks super douchey though I don't know what's up with that but I think she was really trying to do a couple things she was trying to cause uncertainty around the president's handling of the situation She was pushing so hard and we'll just play a couple clips. They're all short Then there's one thing that kind of caught me I'm like, oh they tried they really trying to do something with the president Of course to discredit him use it politically use this politically We've seen it building but I think she was on board and was giving this a shot This first one is Oh well, of course we wanted the answer Well who was wrong Trump said? It was a woman. It was a man He doesn't know what everything's messed up

29:52 The president yesterday when he was speaking referred to this fatality as a woman. It is a man How is the mistake like that made because people are very nervous right now and very nervous getting some of these basic facts, basic facts, right? affects public trust. Well, I understand that it's a very fast-moving situation our Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were up late at night very early in the morning working with the Washington State Public Health Office and inaccurately recorded that the individual was a female That's what the president was briefed on they've apologized for incorrectly briefing on that but it's a very fast moving situation obviously we regret their wrong answer It was wrong answer

30:34 Go ahead, say what you want. First of all with all this bullshit about gender bias... That's what I was gonna say! Who are you to determine what gender that person was Miss Brennan? That's the answer Well and the other answer if you wanna take it something more sensible is What difference does it make Thank you. Good point Well, it's because it's going to be bad people! So in France they shut down the Louvre museum They're telling people don't kiss That was a stupid museum anyway who cares Don't shake hands In Japan... Did they really tell people don't kiss? In France? DON'T KISS! So in France they shut down the Louvre museum They're telling people don't kiss and don't shake hands In Japan they are closing schools for a month Canada's health minister told his people To start stockpiling food

31:25 In the US, there were closures as we just said in Washington and in Oregon. They've declared a state of emergency out there and the CDC said this week disruption to everyday life might be severe. Might...might What does that mean? I mean Americans hear this Well, it means might. It could happen lady! And they are concerned there's about a 2% fatality rate and I appreciate that people are concerned of that That is why we're being radically transparent about what we know and also what the full range of potential scenarios could be and that's why we say Might Be but also might not be with aggressive containment and mitigation steps right now

32:04 It's important for people to understand we're not advising any types of particular measures in the United States like travel restrictions or closures. State or local public health offices, which are the front lines of response might make their own decisions to do that but at this point we do not have sufficient spread in the United States that would indicate those measures but were not taking any of them off the table. The full range of options will always remain on the table So now she's continuing to try and make it all sound scary, and she has a very worried look on her face. But then the monkey comes out of the sleeve as I like to say... And she brought something up which i hadn't heard In a crisis you need public trust Again with the public trust, jeez Did you know any whistleblower complaint?

CHAPTER 10 / 48 Discussion

Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Vulnerability and Manufacturing Repatriation

The FDA identified 20 drugs whose essential components are manufactured exclusively in China, raising fears of critical shortages due to supply chain disruptions. President Donald Trump emphasized the need to bring pharmaceutical manufacturing back to the United States to ensure national health security. The discussion highlights the intermingling of the global supply chain, specifically the reliance on Chinese raw materials for Indian drug production.

32:57 Here we are again with the whistleblower. Uh-huh, so they tried another whistleblower scam and here it is that they are looking into this complaint by a whistleblower That your agency did not provide adequate training or equipment to those workers who went to receive and welcome back Americans who had been evacuated from Wuhan China And those workers were not tested for the virus after they had that contact Have you personally looked into these allegations? Yes, we are. We are looking into these allegations I'm personally involved in doing so So can you say that this wasn't something that tipped off the spread on the West Coast? So she's now trying to make the assumption that because She uses fancy words but how about orange man bad Trump Trump was not prepared and people weren't it didn't have protective stuff And now people are dying The spread of the west is your fault

33:49 That is absolutely not the case. So first, we take the protection of our employees very seriously Second, we want to make sure isolation and quarantine procedures are followed as appropriate Third, We appreciate the whistleblower bringing forward any concerns. We are aggressively looking into any if to see whether there's validity to the concerns but what the American people should need to know is that we now have passed well over 14 days since any HHS employee had contact with the individuals involved. They are not, nobody is symptomatic nobody has a disease even if these allegations prove to be true there was no spreading the disease from this and we have offered even though it is not medically indicated

34:28 We have offered to test any HHS employees involved. If they would like that extra peace of mind, we want to do that for employees." So clearly someone was trying to roll out another whistleblower scam if it... Where's the true whistleblower complaint? Come on Margaret Brennan this is just bullcrap. This is very disappointing! I always thought Margaret Brennan had a little more scruples than this No she got old rusty scrupules no good Then she led into, I think is the trap and the trap that Trump set. And if you recall This coronavirus, as we discussed is very coincidental in the overall plan that Trump appears to have had for decades of reigning in China. Although at first it was Japan and then Japan messed up themselves and then he went out there thinking about China And that was to bring back manufacturing repatriate the money so people could build factories again Then mess with them with sanctions with trade

35:29 get them in a weak spot and then amazingly coronavirus pops up and it just messes with China really big. And we don't seem to be that worried over here but anyway what is the thing we should be worried about? Do you expect drug shortages as some senators have highlighted concerns there could because of disruption to the supply chain so we're very concerned about the intermingling of our supply chain with China in particular, The FDA has gone out and worked proactively with drug manufacturers and there are 20 drugs for which the entire molecule or a critical element of the molecule is made exclusively in China. And so we're working aggressively with the manufacturers to determine if there are any shortages, We are aware of one drug which has many replacements in terms of that therapeutic class available that may be in shortage for a short period of time but

36:21 I'm not able to because it's commercially confidential information that submitted voluntarily to us. I'm not able to discuss that but this is a drug in a class where there are many, many alternatives available. It's a generic drug very available. What do you think is Lipitor? Well would have to be something with a lot of... Lipitor has a lot of generics doesn't it? I think Lipitor could be one of them. For all we know it could be Viagra or Viagra, whatever... Now that would cause a panic! So you don't want to mention this? Hey man, we can't mention the boner pill problem Anyway here's Trump and he's laying it out He is now basically spiking the ball in the end zone The way I see it The corona virus shows the importance of bringing manufacturing back to America so that

37:12 producing at home the medicines and equipment and everything else that we need to protect the public's health. And I've been talking about this for a long time, that process has already started it started long before we ever knew about this. We want to make certain things at home. We want to be doing our manufacturing at home. It's not only done in China, it's done in many other places including Ireland A lot of places make our different drugs and things that we need so badly. And it's not good to be dealing with one or two or three countries, and we do very little at home and we're going to start doing it at home. We've been talking about that for a long time. And a lot of the drug companies because what we've done in terms of incentives and taxes they are heading back here anyway."

CHAPTER 11 / 48 Discussion

Biological Warfare Conspiracy Theories and Ethnic Susceptibility Claims

An intelligence-based anecdote suggests the coronavirus may have been a weaponized agent stolen from U.S. labs and booby-trapped to target specific lung structures common in Han Chinese populations. The segment references a Saturday Night Live "Weekend Update" clip where comedian Chris Redd joked that Black people are immune to the virus. The hosts discuss the lack of reported cases in Africa as potential evidence for these theories.

bio-warfare· han chinese· intelligence· saturday night live· chris redd· conspiracy

38:01 Well, thanks couple things this also probably relates to his visit to India of course Supplier of drugs. Well in fact the way I understand it a lot of those core materials or whatever the molecule Whatever Azar was talking about they go from China to India and India actually puts most of the drugs together but the core elements That comes mainly from China. Now just as an aside, I do have a story that comes from an intelligence source, that comes from the India-Sri Lankan nexus of spies spy works. Oh my goodness! This is a good one... And this is the way the story kind of goes Is that The United States had a number and we noticed this because there was a number people busted some professors Yeah, yeah trafficking stuff and then working for China

38:58 are some of the elemental bio-warfare material straight up from some of our labs. And then one guy got caught walking out with a bunch of vials, as you recall. According to this source, the United States is well known in intelligence circles even though it's not brought out in our public to do booby traps and the weaponized coronavirus. Wait a minute, you mean kind of like a tag on a dress or that you take with you out of the store and then you try to peel it off and it blows up in red ink all over your face?

39:41 Exactly. Oh, okay! And so apparently a lot of people suspect nobody knows this for sure that this virus was stolen from the United States but it was booby-trapped to begin with And it was designed specifically to target Han Chinese, which is what keeps coming up in the conversation of people with lung structures that a lot of smokers for example. We still have no reported cases in all of Africa where there's a million Chinese by itself. They're not even affecting the Africans. And, by the way when we listen to these reports I don't like hearing all these reports from New York and elsewhere about this dead guy or this guy is sick and this guy isn't healthy without some ethnic reporting. Is it just black man? Age and ethnic reporting... On that! In New York the guys 50, we know that. Listen to this. I'm watching Saturday Night Live You may not really watch that do you didn't see that

40:40 Chris Redd, one of the SNL players is doing the weekend update and at the end of weekend update in the applause see I clipped it see if you can hear what he says to Colin Joust as they're saying goodbye getting out of this segment. It's just a cruise! Hop on we good! We gooood! Black people can't get the coronavirus! Did you hear it? Something about the corona virus... He says black people can't get the coronavirus. It's true, it's true! How about that huh? Wow does he get to do those secret messages I'm sure cuz I don't know what the deal is here. I'm sure the black community... I'm sure black people watch him and go damn I heard it he said it we're good if I heard that I'd be pretty happy

CHAPTER 12 / 48 Discussion

World Health Organization Cashless Society Push

The World Health Organization has urged the public to use contactless payments and avoid cash to prevent the spread of the virus via banknotes. The hosts interpret this as a strategic move toward a cashless society. Additionally, the WHO issued social media guidelines discouraging the use of terms like "transmitting" or "infecting" to avoid assigning blame or stigma.

world health organization· cashless· banknotes· fisa· patriot act· social justice

41:33 So the so the point is is that this was a set This is maybe part of Trump's grand scheme because you said your clip he was spiking the ball over this. Uh-huh Yeah, well our media is not doing anybody by panicking to public do all the toilet paper is gone as I can tell Well we knew that would happen if that's thanks to my mother Yes, your mom predicted that the sage Nostradamus Dvorak she predicted it decades ago Hysterical pet owners fearing coronavirus asking pets to euthanize their dogs. Not pets to euthanize their dogs, I assume? No no yes and never let a good crisis go away so we're still waiting for the Patriot Act waiting to see because that comes due March 15th Ides of March beware of the Ides of March

42:25 And the coronavirus bill is going to be jammed through and we're looking to see if they're gonna try and put bits in pieces, particularly when it comes to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act known as FISA. And the FISA court if that maybe will be...pieces of it will be shoved in there but the World Health Organization Urges people to go cashless because you know those dirty ass banknotes they can spread the virus And this is what we've been waiting for. This is the way to get people to go cashless, scare the bejesus out of them Oh man money it's filled with virus We're all gonna die The World Health Organization sent out an image on social media With their hashtag so hashtag COVID-19 Hashtag coronavirus and here's their plea

43:14 Do talk about people acquiring or contracting COVID-19. DO NOT talk about people transmitting COVID-19, infecting others or spreading the virus as it implies intentional transmissions and assigns blame so we can't even keep the social justice douchebags out of this at the current moment What? That's ridiculous. Yeah, that's how you're supposed to talk about it. Yes So we have to have a... now we have rules about talking about it. Of course! You don't want to upset anybody This was my favorite from C-SPAN

CHAPTER 13 / 48 Discussion

C-SPAN Caller Claims Coronavirus in Bubble Wrap

A Republican caller on C-SPAN claimed that China intentionally released the coronavirus to trigger a global recession and warned that the virus could be transported inside the air of bubble wrap packaging. The hosts discuss the feasibility of viral survival in shipping containers and verify claims that Lysol labels list human coronavirus as a target for disinfection.

c-span· bubble wrap· lysol· recession· china· socialism

43:58 If you really want the news, you want to listen to the show where you can call in and you're identified by the line number that you call. So we're going to go to C-SPAN and we are going to go to the Republican Line! In Tennessee, Smyrna, Tennessee Republican Line Michael hello Hello thanks for taking my call I wanted to talk about the coronavirus That's something that has been around for a long time Excuse me. If you look on your labels of lifestyle disinfectant, it's its own there human coronavirus. I believe that China created this a different strain of it. They released it to their people, I believe they did it to start a recession in China because their economy is so bad right now and now they're wanting to get over here in United States and its working and if they started...and it's easy avenue to start a recession here in United States

44:52 Because we ship things from China, you think about the bubble wrap. You bust that bubble wrap it's got air in there it could have a strain of coronavirus in there. Dr. Dvorak as a specialist in air pollution is this possible? Could the corona virus be housed in bubble wrap? Is this possible I mean could it be contained? Could it stay alive can it survive the container trip well I think the process of making that bubble wrap would kill any viruses to begin with but It's a funny idea. I love that guy But he does he adds something interesting which I didn't realize it'd be easy for Donald Trump to shut the ports down Not this part right stop trading then we got a recession in America, so I believe if people are really

45:43 just taking this too much out of context because the regular virus, the flu kills people and we don't know if these people are dying from just a natural cause of flu. They're old or their immune system is low so I just believe they're trying to scare everybody it's a socialist tactic to try to scare people from going out Going on vacations and getting around crowds of individuals. Okay, so actually it's not on there I thought that was good he takes as a socialist move He also said that right on the can of Lysol It says right there kills human coronavirus

46:22 Don't have a can of Lysol in front of me. Yeah, it says right on the label I said you have it no the guy said it and then well we can probably that's not that hard to check We'll just look at an image Lysol label here we go Oh Fox News did Ken Lysol and Clorox Products kill the novel coronavirus. The answer is complicated, okay good got no time for your bullcrap complicated Meanwhile in Hong Kong... Of course it can especially Clorox Yeah In Hong Kong they're handing and start handing out a thousand dollars to everybody ten thousand Hong Kong bucks so that's about thirteen hundred US dollars I think To stimulate the economy I doubt it's gonna be in cash because that would be the wrong idea

CHAPTER 14 / 48 Discussion

Global Economic Stimulus and Negative Interest Rates

Hong Kong announced a $1,300 cash handout to citizens to stimulate the economy, while the U.S. Federal Reserve considers further rate cuts. The discussion explores the "Plunge Protection Team" and President Trump's potential strategy to use low interest rates to refinance national debt. The hosts observe that despite the financial turmoil, local restaurants remain busy, suggesting a disconnect between media panic and public behavior.

hong kong· federal reserve· plunge protection team· quantitative easing· debt refinancing· donald trump

47:12 No, it'd be in a credit to your credit card. And we're also seeing... Let's see which I think was it Taiwan? Let me just check there's a number of apps that are being put out by governments and but they're using your previous location history to see if you're at risk and you get an update if you should check-in with the authorities because you may have... Oh wow! Yeah oh yeah Check in with the authorities if you're in the zip code 94111. Yeah, Taiwan here we go The Taiwan government established a National Health Command Center after SARS Okay well it's anyway this is like big data analytics that's what doing all the national health insurance database they merge it with the immigration and customs database and then they put it into this big data analytic engine

48:15 that allowed them case identification by generating real-time alerts based on travel history and clinical symptoms. Oh man! So there's all this stuff that, you know... Governments love doing this especially the techno nerds. Oh yeah we got him now man yes it's great is great brother well anyway So I still am not so worried about this. I like the Wall Street guy... I'm not worried about it, but I'm worried about the economy and the effect on the economy of that guy for example. It's real! AMC, the movie operation with all these screens These guys have potential for going broke Well Airbnb is seeing tons of cancellations. I've got multiple emails from producers who work in high-end travel People have cancelled six figure trips

49:11 Yeah, and they don't care. They don't care what the cost is like we don't care We just don't want to deal with it so that they can clearly they can afford to lose some money on it But you know Airbnb that's gonna be bad for hosts and for the company itself which I don't think that's even profitable It might might shake some stuff out And here's another this is Andy Brenner from another one of these Wall Street firms but nonetheless I think it's a total disaster what the Fed did and how they did it. And they're going to have to open up the spigots, they're gonna have to increase the Fed balance sheet, they're gonna have to go some kind of QE and you know quite honestly it wouldn't be so bad if they did what the Bank of Japan did and bring in the plunge protection team whereas the Bank of Japan yesterday bought $1 billion worth of ETFs equity ETFs. While I don't think this fed will do it, its certainly not a bad idea.

50:04 I haven't actually heard a mainstream television report ever talk openly about the Plunge Protection Team. That was like a conspiracy theory, wasn't it? When we thought Obama was using it... Oh you're just conspiracy theorists! And it has a different... I don't remember being a conspiracy theory because it's a real thing. It has a different name, its the presidential team on you know market stability or something. Its got some name but its the plunge protection is what it is. And I hear that the Fed may even lower the rate again next week! You know why Trump is happy about this? He wants to reify America he wants to refinance our debt and this is exactly what he's going to get

50:47 You know, you just oh okay we'll just refinance it now all of a sudden our debt servicing will go down significantly. It could drop by a third! That would be a great move. Well that's what he's always talking about I said whenever he talked about the Fed interest rates has got to go down it's gotta go down and he knows how... He understands. We're borderline minus right now Well, maybe he wants to get paid for borrowing money. He likes the negative interest rate and I'm sure he would like that You know, so he's weakened. He's helped weaken the dollar which is good for our export. He is truly at this point...he's like Pence there you go we got to be rolling and we've got all the conspiracy crap gone you know like squash those people shut them up and let's lower the interest rates some more I think it's gonna be quick it's going to lower the interest rate he does he calls up Rocket Mortgage

51:44 We got it. He's already logged in, he's already locked in the rate you know? It's good for three months so I'm locking it in and we refi and that will make...it'll make it so good for us because what? It'll lower our payment by half a trillion dollars perhaps on annual basis I'm like, what is our payment? Are we paying two trillion a year or something crazy? But if he could drop it a little bit wouldn't hurt. Yeah definitely the bonds don't have any real payout He's working on Quicken right now trying to figure it out What are the other QuickBooks? QuickBooks! So yeah but you're absolutely right although again restaurants

52:33 Not empty not empty people are not freaking out here. I just need go see if the Chinese restaurants packed You know before before I left this past weekend we have one right up the street It's really the only restaurant in there its Vietnamese slash it's kind of Asian fusion it's a very low end, but great food And they and they I think they move 100 people every 30 minutes is crazy and it was packed packed Well, I think that's good. Yes! But the things that people can cancel ahead of time a trip you know people are canceling vacations yeah...I mean this it's very bad. Well, for them being relentless and you have to always give them credit for that I mean if Margaret Brennan is sold out to the whole idea and she's like on board then you know you got problems

CHAPTER 15 / 48 Discussion

Modern Monetary Theory and Billionaire Tax Cut Complaints

MSNBC's Ali Velshi explained Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), a concept gaining traction among progressive politicians like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The theory suggests governments can print money to fund programs as long as taxes are used to control inflation. An anecdote from an Oakland meetup describes wealthy Silicon Valley liberals complaining to their accountants about not receiving the "tax cuts for the rich" promised by political rhetoric.

mmt· alexandria ocasio-cortez· bernie sanders· milton friedman· silicon valley· taxes

53:30 He's up there with them, you know. Well along with this comes another interesting news report since we're talking about the finances of everything and I was very surprised to see this it was on MSNBC thinks is Ali Velchey so it's a very simplistic report but he brought up MMT And for those of you who are new to us from the Joe Rogan show, MMT is not a cooler version of DMT. Sadly it's stands for modern monetary theory and I was surprised that they did an explanation so it's either a push or its bubbling to the top

54:14 An unconventional economic theory is gaining some traction thanks to the policy teams of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders. It's called Modern Monetary Theory, MMT. Now stay with me for this one. MMT suggests that governments don't have to worry about debt because they print their own money. If we need to spend more money on government programs, we print more. too much money in the economy could result in inflation. MMT suggests that we use taxes as a relief valve, pull money out of the economy before it overheats from having too much money in there. Supporters of this theory say that government should stop trying to balance the budget period. They go so far as to say policies aimed at balancing a budget hurt the economy by forcing cuts to programs In fact they think a budge surplus should be avoided at all costs

55:02 A government holding onto money instead of funneling it into the economy is more harmful than piling on debt in the long run. This is a very different approach than the pay-as-you-go proposals from Democrats or the massive program cuts suggested by Republicans over the last few decades, and its total departure from mainstream economic theories one that hasn't been discussed a whole lot until now. Policy proposals from the progressive left like Medicare for All Bernie Sanders or the Green New Deal from Ocasio-Cortez often raise the question of how we are going to end up paying for it. One of the answers is, We can just print more money." Yeah! Now you are without a doubt uh...the expert and I think your fan of the idea of MMT? Well first of all it's not really their theories this is very well established

55:52 Well, not well established. It's not like... What's that? Well known Milton Friedman long but it's fairly new its but its got good theories behind it and it really has a lot to do with the money itself and how you look at it as not a representative of anything but just means for buying and selling And you'd have to, I would recommend the Wikipedia page is reasonable. A lot of monetary theories in there and you can read about it and try to grasp it. It's really its connection to the Green New Deal is nil. There's no connection. I hate that fact that they put those two together. Oh well of course they tried to hide a jacket! It has nothing to do with anything. Just to boil it down we're looking at all this the wrong way

56:42 And your banker friend is the big fan of this thing. That's what worries me so much, the former New York bankers like oh it's fantastic MMT works and he uses as example Trump tax cuts to look at all the money that just came in no inflation nothing happened By the way, that brings me to a story from the meetup in Oakland we had. The anonymous gay accountant who has big clients like CEOs of major companies and this is... He's a mover and shaker he is. So he's got billionaire clients and all of them came back at him after finishing their next year's taxes

57:28 with this he says he got so many complaints, you couldn't believe it. There's all each one of them they all came back saying hey where's my tax cut? But the millionaires and billionaires for the richest 1% are getting the tax breaks So they all got irked at him because they saw no tax cuts whatsoever. Interesting! Because apparently each and every one of them, they're all typical Silicon Valley liberals you know their billionaire liberal the billionaire liberal class which is a very strange group of people as far as I'm concerned who always say please please tax me more i'm fine if you tax me some more but this yeah the billionaire liberal class they bought

58:11 the argument of Bernie Sanders and the others that this was a tax cut for the rich. So where's my tax cut? That's fantastic, you should have reported that earlier I didn't know that took place! That's great! I forgot just happened to forget about but yeah he reminded me so they're all irked because they didn't get their billionaires' tax cuts that were promised There was no billionaires tax cut that was bullcrap. Oh, man That's great This is this is why we have the best producers in the universe We do yeah do by the way Rogan liked that because I talking about so your fans Fund you said no Joe these are producers He's like oh, that's a great way of looking at it, so now did their producers and

Vape Industry Scandals and Vitamin E Acetate

Following his appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, one of the hosts has been embraced by the vaping community for explaining the link between faulty THC cartridges containing vitamin E acetate and recent lung illnesses. The discussion touches on the acquisition of Juul and the market entry of IQOS, comparing the industry's struggles to the documentary "Who Killed the Electric Car?"

vaping· juul· iqos· vitamin e acetate· thc· public health

58:59 I think he finally got it. It's like these are produced by the way, so they're not producer Old crap before we before we take a break. I am going to avoid small aircraft hot tubs canoeing in any water in DC and What else should be on the lookout for? What are you doing well? I laid out the vape wars I explained the scandal And I took it and I've become like a hero of the vape community all of a sudden. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah It's it's Chris. I mean that immediately got clipped that was viewed 100 thousand times You know within two hours of the show airing yesterday

59:43 And I took it all the way from the faulty THC, vitamin E acetate people getting sick from that and dying to the acquisition of the Juul scam. The write off and then here it is IQOS. It's on the market now in the vape community like I'm the hero! I'm the hero of the vapors! I need a vape cape! Wow you're gonna have the vapors But as I was thinking about it and actually Rogan made me think about He says, this is like kind of like who killed the electric car. And I thought to myself oh crap! I got to be careful. Yeah that's a lot of money they don't mind killing people and they're their customers they'd have no problem getting rid of someone who's annoyingly right about something yeah yeah i'd stay out in the hot tubs and with that i'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you the man who put the c in covid19 John C Dvorak

CHAPTER 17 / 48 Discussion

Value for Value Model and Podcast Merchandise Pitfalls

The hosts discuss the "Value for Value" model and the operations of the No Agenda Shop, which sells fan-created art on merchandise. They warn other podcasters that selling t-shirts and mugs is rarely profitable and often a distraction from core content creation, noting that specialized marketing and manufacturing knowledge are required to succeed in apparel sales.

1:00:39 Well, in the morning to you Mr. Adam Curry also in the morning all ships and sea boots on the ground feeding the air subs of the water and all that aims a night's out there Yes in the morning to the trolls at no agenda stream calm. Let's see The count is Thank You Doug 1213 looks like we got lots of trolls in there This is where you come to hang out during the live shows There's many of them but also know agenda stream comm where you can listen to excellent podcasts all functioning under the value for value model 24 hours a day. That's good, that's a good number for Thursday. For Thursday it is an extremely good number yeah it'll be a little low for Sunday but I think its probably about 400 more than usual on a Thursday first Thursday

1:01:24 Also, a hearty in the morning... I hadn't even brought it up yet. To the artist who brought us the artwork for episode 1221 we titled that Biden Reset and this was just so funny how could we not choose the Mike Bloomberg boot? The elevated boot that Darren O'Neill put together for us with his Bloomberg 2020 logo on it lots of people are now too bad Mike's dropped out now you won't get to see so much of him struggling to mask his vertical challenge. I sympathize with him though

1:02:03 Got I got Tourette's you don't want anyone looking at you funny like he's a dwarf my guy. I understand It's kind of similar. Yeah, we have some reports on this and the coverage of Super Tuesday Okay very good No agenda art generator comm it's part of our value for value network tried to explain it that Joe Rogan And he thought it was very interesting that we have some other guys who? who run a shop, noagendashop.com and he says so who is that? I said well it's just some guys then they take the art from the art generator they put it on cups mugs caps T-shirts hoodies and they sell it and then they give 1 third to the artists they take a third sometimes they send us some money He's like what?! Well that makes no sense too you know Robin's old... That's not true! He did under he said that's beautiful as what he said So I don't know if he... Well but generally speaking most people say why

1:02:56 Okay, let's I'm gonna just stop for a second and explain one thing. It's extremely difficult to make money Selling mugs and t-shirts up for your podcast Yes, and podcasters fall into the trap of doing it constantly Oh, let's put some mugs out there. I mean Eric Who does know how to do this stuff? He couldn't make any money off of it now Yeah, he couldn't be very difficult to do.

1:04:19 There's not a good thing to do. I can barely order the right size for myself, let alone manufacture them. Well let's thank a few people for producing as executive producers show 1222 yes this begins with Sir Fly Knot in Medfield Massachusetts with $138.89 Holy mackerel what does this number signify? Does he explain the one oh yes he does actually is flying out pronounced why not. John and Adam, you guys are the best something is a Unicode there I don't know what it is. Thanks for the contents of my PayPal account which represents everything I've sold off of eBay in 2020 Wow! I'm writing war and peace below I encourage listeners to go to their PayPal sites now and donate their full balance It's easy just enter John's email no enter no agenda

1:05:20 Here's what you enter, noagenda at Dvorak.org. Yes that's the one This donation ended up in the legacy account Oh yeah it's not good No don't use my email I'm surprised it ended up there I would have to reject if was actually to one of my personal accounts Right Because you can't mix these funds It is much faster than going through the links in a donation page. Well, yeah if you want to end up in the wrong area but that's another point just we get the idea Current listeners should go do some spring cleaning and honor of the Rogan appearance it will be a major transition I've watched John since twit off my first iPod in 2005 well That's a joke. I could you watch video on iPods maybe

1:06:11 Maybe the video iPod. As kids, brothers and I would fight to watch MTV when we were away from home since we didn't have cable at home. Adam you still got the best VJ hair! You look good on the show, by the way. Thank you Your deconstruction is great with Joe Rogan appearance is going to really create a pivot A pivot to what profitability? What are we doing? How they worldviews your show okay I hate to think of this show ever ending but I would want you both to get exit scenario you want I'd like the name of sir flying not in the open air

I did douche with a donation at the New England meetup organized by Sir Nathan Lee Miller Foster and or at the cattle, I'm sorry if we're having trouble reading this because there's this NBSP colon scattered throughout this thing. And I have no idea what that represents. It is some Unicode mess up. At the Castle Island Brewery my smoking hot wife had no idea what she had agreed to attend to and my work in professional background is relevant to so much of what you cover but

1:07:40 That can be covered later. Okay, now he's drunk. I'm happy to be a contributor and thrill for the future. Blah blah blah. Sir Fly Knot thank you very much! Well... He will BE Sir Fly Knot? Yeah. Okay so not officially Sir Fly Knot but he will be Sir Fly Knot. Nobody wants to be called Sir Fly Knot anyway. Of course does he want anything from us while we're here? I didn't see anything he already got de-douche'd he said but give him a dedouching just in case You've been de-douche'd. Alright, the douchebagness falls away. Beautiful thank you Sir Flyknot that's a great idea empty your PayPal great idea and they email to use for all these systems is noagenda at Dvorak.org yes Matthew Linton

Listener Testimonials and Family Hitting in the Mouth

Sarah Gonzalez from Houston shares how her husband "hit her in the mouth" with the show's content, leading her to become a dedicated listener. Ryan McWhorter contributes toward his knighthood and requests human resource karma for his newborn twins, born on March 3rd. The hosts celebrate the "smoking hot" wives and growing families within the No Agenda community.

sarah gonzalez· houston· pelosi· ryan mcwhorter· twins· knighthood

1:20:00 Long note, before I had NOAJEND, I'd become so sick of the mainstream news media that I made the conscious decision to ignore all internet and TV news and just embrace being a blissfully ignorant person for the rest of my days. My husband Roland who's been a dedicated listener of The NOAJEND The Show and executive producer since last year Had been hitting me in the mouth lightly for a while with interesting tidbits from your show He finally slugged me really hard in the mouth on his seven-hour car ride to New Orleans over the holidays Even hit our kids writing in the back of their seat and the backseat in the mouth also Although I don't think they enjoyed it as much as I did. They kept complaining about that

1:20:39 kids yelling yay after Pelosi's job karma which of course made me love it all the more. Being able to make a joke about my husband hitting me in the mouth on this day of censorship, of all things hilarious and is hilarious in the name of overboard political correctness brings me more joy than you'll ever know As I've been a dedicated listener ever since, I feel more informed about the goings on in the world but without the misbegotten sense of impending doom that the mainstream media seems hell-bent on instilling in us. I refuse to be a slave or a douchebag and will be going with a monthly subscription once this donation wears off." So thank you John and Anna for doing what others will not including 1 creating a news show that doesn't make me want to throw up

1:21:27 Two, for criticizing both sides rather than only one we happen to be less politically aligned with. Three, for being funny and making me laugh every morning as I start my day. And last, for pulling my head out of the sand despite my best attempts to keep it there! Wow... I'd also like to thank my husband Rose I'd also like to thank my husband Roland who is constantly hitting me in all sorts of places out of love and is still smoking hot and somehow even more amazing after 13 years of marriage. Also, to my kids who may resist being hit in the mouth but now

1:22:05 But now, hitting the mouth now but will someday learn to embrace it and realize that pain just makes us stronger. And also a shout out to my friend Jeremy who is also in No Agenda producer and accompanied Roland into the Austin meetup last year I kindly request that you play a couple of my favorite clips. Okay. Sorry they're at the end That's alright Clovis Shar's dad is pretty good. Which never gets old, she says. Followed by a yay for the kids and keeping it real best in the morning Sarah Gonzales give her a karma too Wait what? Does she have a third you said keeping it real? No just those two and a karma sure no problem I think that sounds pretty good You've got Karma There ya go thank you Sarah nice note love it

Hi John and Adam, this donation brings me two thirds of the way to my knighthood I have one simple message to all the listeners to The Best Podcast This karma stuff works so chip in!

Chris Matthews Resignation and Sexism Allegations

MSNBC host Chris Matthews faced intense criticism following an article by freelance writer Laura Bassett in GQ detailing inappropriate comments he made in a makeup room. The allegations, combined with an open-mic incident involving Hillary Clinton and his recent comments about Bernie Sanders, led to his sudden departure from the network. The hosts analyze the generational divide in communication standards and the role of Bassett's reporting in his firing.

chris matthews· msnbc· laura bassett· gq· elizabeth warren· sexual harassment

1:32:05 The problem is someone will say, you know he actually kind of said something to me once that I felt uncomfortable with and before we know it... He's Matthews before you know it. I do have the Chris Matthews clip that I want to talk about this for probably a minute or two because I have Matthews clips and then I also have, I want to discuss the woman who one of them was responsible who is taking nothing but grief. This kind of sad sack freelance writer named Laura Bassett and you know, Women with the last name Bassett is just not good. But she's like, she's kind of a dick I mean read her article like Warren and I had my own sexist run-ins with Chris Matthews and she wrote this piece for uh guess he was under fire and before you got fired

1:32:55 And so on the 28th, she wrote this piece on Matthews. Joining in she's piling on is what she's doing I want to read a couple of chunks from this thing This is her article was in GQ which she's written two or three times wasn't isn't GQ supposed to be? Was that a man's magazine like a Manlyman quarterly yeah hello gentleman's quarterly and that's his way you pronounce it Why do they let the enemy in to the quarterly enemy. She's not the enemy at this place, okay? Oh boy! The allegations that Matthew is a veteran journalist was trying hard to undermine were actually corroborated by third party of the Washington Post. He's talking about he had a run-in with Elizabeth Warren and she you know accusing her of this idea that... A woman couldn't win. To kill it

1:33:47 Why would he lie? He went back and forth, and she's defending Warren just at all costs. So here is her argument because after this back-and-forth she has the allegation that Matthews a veteran journalist was trying so hard to undermine which was that Warren was full of shit, was corroborated by third party The Washington Post which means nothing earlier this month there is no reason for him to harp on his veracity about the lie Except perhaps that he himself had made so many sexist comments over the years, that he has a vested interest in Bloomberg being let off the hook.

1:34:24 So she said that's where she starts up. Then he goes on with a tendency to objectify women in his orbit has bled into the trait made of female politicians and candidates, and of course you went after Clinton. And in fact I have a clip that she links too which is the Chris Matthews Before the Hillary interview, this is a little... somebody left an open mic and decided to record him. And this is what you get. Can I have some of the Queen's waters? Precious waters! Where's that Bill Cosby pill I brought with me? Man, this has got to teach ya. You've gotta shut up when your miked

1:35:03 Yep, learn this stuff. In 2017 she writes this, in 2017 I wrote a personal essay about a much older married cable news host who inappropriately flirted with me in the makeup room a few times before he went live on the show... Let me guess! I now can reveal? I feel comfortable enough to reveal what is it what does she use? What did you use? Alright, you're almost there. I was afraid to name him at the time for fear of retaliation from the network. I'm not anymore It was Chris Matthews in 2016, right before I had to go on his show and talk about sexual assault allegations against Donald Trump. She said so she was never assaulted but she's going to talk about this.

1:35:45 And by the way, she has a lot of anti-Trump in her. Like Trump hate and she's Hillary bot right before I went on this show about sexual allegations Matthews looked over at me in the makeup chair next to him and said why haven't I fallen in love with you yet? When I laughed nervously and said nothing, he followed up to my makeup artist quote keep putting makeup on her. I'll fall in love with her." Okay so What an idiot! First of all, does that shit work? That's what I want to know. Does it work on other women? Let's start with that part of it. Okay Matthews is a silent generation guy just before the baby boomers He's what 70... 75 maybe? Something like that and he is Irish you know Irish Blarney

1:36:42 the Irish bullshitters. He's an Irish, his mom was Irish, his dad is half-Irish he's Irish and he is a chatterbox like Joe! He's one of these guys and he would say shit like that constantly to these women she is so sensitive too oh She can't take it instead of taking what he considers to be a compliment. She takes it as some sort of flirty insult when you're so right that is in fact The only thing was missing was him saying hey, how come I haven't fallen in love with this broad? That was the only thing that missing or a dame or something like that. Dane Yeah, this is how these dudes used to talk of course This is the way they used to talk and it's not an insult It's not meant to be an insult. That's for sure. It's meant to be accomplished Not really flirty if you're an Irish guy doing this day everybody right? I worked with these guys And I did this isn't innocuous but no no she takes it makes her make said

1:37:39 a federal case out of it and then writes about it twice as if there's nothing better to do. Well what she does is, and I think unfairly, is she connects this open mic moment which she was not a part of... She connects that to what she experienced and you know this- It's not very fair No, she's an idiot. But let's you know I just find it offensive she's getting nothing but flack because two days after she wrote the second article in GQ second article bitching about Matthews She's been getting death threats and everything in between but she kind of what is I mean he's an accomplished guy? She got made him get fired Well, I as part if this article helped get him fired There's no doubt yeah, but Adam not a big Chris Matthews fan. I met him

1:38:30 He's a nice guy. There was a lot going on, he was going pretty unhinged over Bernie you know comparing it to being him being shot in Central Park by the Socialists. This is nothing new! He has been like this since the beginning of the show. Yeah but the world around him changed if... Well that's what he points out. I've got his quitting here. He quits on a show and walks from there, he walks right off the set. Right? Well he didn't walk off the set... He didn't come back after that segment. Never came back and no days noticed and apparently according to the trades they were trying to phase him out under a slow retirement process and something hit him

Deconstructing Chris Matthews' On-Air Retirement Speech

Chris Matthews announced his retirement live on "Hardball," reading a prepared statement from a teleprompter before walking off the set mid-broadcast. The hosts deconstruct his speech, suggesting he used double entendres to mock the "better standards" of the younger generation. Speculation follows regarding Joy Reid as his potential permanent replacement in the primetime slot.

1:37:39 a federal case out of it and then writes about it twice as if there's nothing better to do. Well what she does is, and I think unfairly, is she connects this open mic moment which she was not a part of... She connects that to what she experienced and you know this- It's not very fair No, she's an idiot. But let's you know I just find it offensive she's getting nothing but flack because two days after she wrote the second article in GQ second article bitching about Matthews She's been getting death threats and everything in between but she kind of what is I mean he's an accomplished guy? She got made him get fired Well, I as part if this article helped get him fired There's no doubt yeah, but Adam not a big Chris Matthews fan. I met him

1:38:30 He's a nice guy. There was a lot going on, he was going pretty unhinged over Bernie you know comparing it to being him being shot in Central Park by the Socialists. This is nothing new! He has been like this since the beginning of the show. Yeah but the world around him changed if... Well that's what he points out. I've got his quitting here. He quits on a show and walks from there, he walks right off the set. Right? Well he didn't walk off the set... He didn't come back after that segment. Never came back and no days noticed and apparently according to the trades they were trying to phase him out under a slow retirement process and something hit him

1:39:21 So hit him the wrong way, and he just said screw you I quit yeah What I did notice he was reading off the teleprompter Yes And this is a good point. I'm glad you said that because this was carefully written yes And someone put it in, someone put in the prompter. That doesn't just happen. He wrote it! Oh he wrote it yeah but they knew in the control room he was doing this Someone knew what he was doing Well I'm sure of that but... ...He wrote it and if you listen to- and I got one ISO of it between the lines I don't want to play that first

1:39:57 But when you listen to it, he's double entendres. He's trying to say two things at once. It's a professional writer and this is very carefully constructed and I'll show you one example after you play the whole thing where he actually quits And this would be the clip quits Mark Sofsky. Every morning I read the papers and am gung-ho to get to work. Not many people have had this privilege. I love working with my producers and the discussions we have over how to report the news, And I love having this connection with you –the good people who watch– I've learned who you are bumping into you on a sidewalk or waiting at an airport saying hello You're like me! I heard from your kids and grandchildren who say My dad loves you or my grandmother loves you Or my husband watched it till the end

1:40:54 Well, after a conversation with MSNBC I decided tonight will be my last hardball. So let me tell you why The younger generations out there are ready to take the reins. We see them in politics, in the media and fighting for their causes. They're improving the workplace we're talking here about better standards than we grew up with fair standards a lot of it has to do with how we talk to each other compliments on a woman's appearance that some men including me might have once incorrectly thought were okay or never okay not then is certainly not today and for making such comments in the past I'm sorry I'm very proud of the work that I've done here. Long before I went on television, I worked for years in politics as a newspaper columnist and author. I am working on another book. I'll continue to write and talk about politics and cheer on my producers and crew here in Washington and New York and my MSNBC colleagues. They will continue to produce great journalism in the years ahead. And for those who have gotten into habit watching Hardball every night, I hope you're going to miss because I'm going to miss you!

1:41:54 But remembering Humphrey Bogart and Casablanca will always have hardball. So let's not say goodbye, but till we meet again. Oh, so he walks Chris. So there is a lot of doubt you know? I got this one ISO I took And if you listen to it and deconstruct it carefully, you can see what he's actually saying is not what he's saying. He is condemning these newbies that are coming into the scene. Well the minute...if it's related to the Casablanca quote yeah I can see what he's doing Well, there's that. But no this is right at the beginning and I want you to listen to this ISO carefully and then i'm going to deconstruct it and point out that if you change a comma here because reading it as one thing but looking at it as a structure says something completely different We're talking about better standards than we grew up with fair standards Better standards than we grew up with Fair Standards Interesting so the deconstruction

1:42:57 We grew up with fair standards, but these are better and he's mocking them. He's it's a mockery It's like yeah He says they have better standards now if you take it with a sarcastic voice You can get that you can get the you can make it work He can't do that because he's reading it straight-up And he doesn't want to do that But if I was gonna do what I'd really Oh yeah, they're in with better standards unlike our standards which were fair standards. Yeah that's a good point let's listen again We're talking here about better standards than we grew up with...fair standards! Yeah that's good he's right they have much better they're better than us and the whole thing if you know entire structure what he said is can be deconstructed that way where he is not happy

1:43:42 with these kids who don't have a clue, an effing clue let's put it and they're coming in with their better oh there you got better stuff. Oh they know so much! And that he was not happy and that what this message really was I'm just sad The guy's, he's been around a long time. I'm not a huge fan. I don't watch his show it was like... He's a blowhard to me but he had an audience and they should have just let him go with in a nice way but i guess the noose tightened so quick you couldn't even get out with a little bit of hey good job Chris! No none of that. They could know gold watch for him and you know who they're talking about putting in this place? Don't tell me oh let me let me guess someone established yeah

1:44:31 So already someone already on the channel come on help me out is someone already on yes somebody already on the channel Okay, someone already on the chin. What's this time slot? I don't know it says a miss a main mainstream timeslot joy read No! You knew. No, I did not! I swear to God, I didn't know it was just when you set me up and I think it can't be a It can't be vasectomy boy because Chris Matthews already has a great lead-in from Rachel Maddow It's like well who could it be? And he is already on the channel Well of course it has to be Joy Reid Who else

1:45:09 You need to go the exact opposite. So good! Smart MSNBC, I'll be watching... Damn. If the ratings weren't bad enough. Jeez Crazy. So I just found the whole thing offensive and I found a woman and her, she's so offended by this douchebag who is just talking because he can't stop talking you know get him get the guy fired it's unconscionable Just beyond me but okay whatever like they used to say in the days no sweat off my balls Yeah they used to say that

CHAPTER 26 / 48 Discussion

Super Tuesday Polling Anomalies in Texas and California

Voters in Austin reported a public and potentially shaming process of choosing between Democrat and Republican "poll pads." The segment examines the slow reporting of results in Texas and California, noting that while local elections used new software, presidential delegate counts were handled separately by the DNC. The hosts question the use of the term "snafu" to describe these technical delays.

super tuesday· austin· dnc· delegates· voting software· snafu

1:45:51 We don't say that anymore. Yeah, no woke tell ya all right Let me just let's talk about Super Tuesday And I'd like to start off with some anomalies that I caught while watching local television in California on Super Tuesday evening so this is after after I was hanging out after I was hanging out with Joe my new money friend Joe Well actually in Texas The way the polling was done, I'm led to believe was very uncomfortable for people. Then I shall explain in Austin, I'll say for Austin people when you arrived at the polling place you had to choose the Democrat poll pad as they call it poll pad which is really sad hear that poll pad or the Republican pole pad

1:46:47 And you did that rather publicly, so you could not just walk up and say hey I'm just here to cast my vote. I want the right ballot or pick the ballot that you want no no... You have to and there were people who I know who wanted to vote for Trump So by definition you have to then take the Republican ballot But they felt rather shamed into it, shamed of doing it. You know like this is Austin you know the people are looking at you and then just I don't know It doesn't seem like the way it should run maybe a maybe... What do you mean? In other words you have to go to a special booth? No I'm sorry. They literally had two different tablets

1:47:29 It was the Democrat poll pad or the Republican poll pad and you had to say give me, give me the one with your orange man bad on it. That's pretty much what you have to do if you wanted to vote for Republicans. Now I noticed very quickly on KCAL, I think I was watching that they, Texas and California votes came in very very slow. Texas was incredibly slow You saw 46% and it stayed stuck at 46 percent for hours. And here's what I understand happened, first of all they did both California and Texas used a new system for tallying the votes, a new back end very good we love that hello Iowa but the local election so city council and sheriff and all that stuff that you do

1:48:23 That worked perfectly. That was handled by the new software The presidential delegates on the other hand were not a part of the system and those votes were collected by hand, by the DNC and tallied in a whole different world we know nothing about And on February 3rd they had announced... let me see I think i have Texas counties have started seeing updates. This is from... no that's the third of thing yeah this it, Texas counties are starting to see updates to the state election reporting system will allow them to break out the vote totals needed to determine how many delegates or one by presidential contenders on Super Tuesday The refinements to the portal brother! The portal! What do we say? Is this 1996

1:49:15 The portal used by the state's 254 counties to report results come after Texas Democrats raised the prospect of a delay in calculating delegates. And apparently this was also the case in California, although there was a report headlined San Antonio results delayed by software snafu I guess they like alliteration now let's not use glitch anymore let's use snafu which makes no sense Because snafu stands for situation normal all fucked up. It's not the same as a glitch or whatever So it's I don't know why they're using that so I find that I find that to be you know, I found that to be Suspect and it really wasn't really wasn't discussed in any great detail and add to that Greg Pallast yeah, we all know Greg Pallist he does

CHAPTER 27 / 48 Discussion

Greg Palast California Primary Rigging Claims

Investigative reporter Greg Palast alleged that over 500,000 Bernie Sanders supporters in California were at risk of losing their votes due to complex "No Party Preference" (NPP) rules. Palast claimed voters had to use specific "magic words" like "crossover ballot" to receive a presidential ballot. The hosts dispute this, arguing that poll workers are generally helpful and the report is a skewed exaggeration of standard procedures.

greg palast· bernie sanders· california· npp· crossover ballot· independent voters

1:50:09 Does he work for any outfit anymore? He does great documentaries. You don't like him? I thought you liked the palace stuff. No, i've never disliked him... He's politicized a bit more than I like. Well, in this case it fell right into his lap because yes he- this is something political he did a short expose on the extreme possibility that Bernie Sanders would get gypped in California in the manner in which the ballots were handed out. Worth listening to! Last month the Golden State sent out 3,715,369 ballots with no presidential candidates most at risk young voters and Latinx voters the core supporters of Tio Bernie the result 553,000 Bernie Sanders supporters are at risk of losing their right to vote for their candidate how did this happen?

1:51:10 While California votes solidly Democratic in general elections, a huge 5 million Californians register independent marked NPP for no party preference. These NPP legal voters have the legal right to vote in the Democratic primary but good luck trying many will lose their right how? Last autumn, the state mailed all 5 million independents a postcard telling them they can ask for a Democratic ballot. Looks like junk mail! Only 1 in 11 returned the cards Because students move a lot less than five percent of 18 to 24 year olds get and return the cards Up to 86% of independence who want to vote in the Democratic primary could be locked out

1:51:55 Independents can save their vote by bringing in their NPP ballots into the polling station and exchange it for a Democratic ballot. But not a regular ballot, only something called a crossover Democratic ballot But you must know the magic word, crossover. Jen Abreu was a poll worker. They have to specifically then ask I would like to have a Democratic crossover ballot. And those were the words that were told us in our poll worker training and if this NPP voter did not specifically asked for a Democratic crossover ballot

1:52:36 They were given an official NPP ballot which did not list presidential candidates on there. And I am unable to ask you, are you sure you want a NPP ballot? I hear California protesting the report. I don't care! This is bull crap! Alright good well that's why bring it up That is another reason not to like Palace so much. This is a skewed report that's not true, okay? First of all yes the part that's true Is that you got the eye because I'm an MPP You're an NPC but you put down NPP But I'm an NP whatever I am I don't get abnormal ballot I get this independent ballot and I can go to the polling place And take it and I signed up for vote by mail

1:53:29 Okay, it was most people in California. You didn't sign up for vote by mail You're an idiot because there's lines were a mile long and it was not everywhere but none around here May I just interject one little thing about that? And this is all just stuff that I saw some reporting it back many people who had done the vote in early and had voted for Wall Street Pete or four Amy Klobuchar were really upset That their vote wouldn't really even count in Super Tuesday because they all resigned the day before. Yeah, exactly. So you get these vote by mail things the kids voted and I voted and we have a drop off box for ballots specifically is right at City Hall on the way to the store you drop them off good to go And that's what you do when you get it out of the way But you can't and i've done this I have gone in You can take this mail-in ballot you can go any side want to vote democrat

1:54:30 They give you a Democrat ballot. You know what they say I had one who'd vote Democrat the bird flies at night Swallows do listen, you don't have to go in there with a bunch of CIA code words to get the damn ballot They just give it to you Bullcrap Thanks Greg palace for playing game over So yeah, they may have had this rule but it doesn't mean anything to the locals. They just give you the ballot and you vote that way I was actually gonna do it this time because I was gonna vote for Tulsi uh-huh and But then I thought about it for five seconds And I just voted on my ballot and said who cares whatever Tulsi couldn't even win in

Michael Bloomberg's Failed Campaign and Russian Meddling Comparisons

The hosts discuss the failure of Michael Bloomberg's $600 million campaign as proof that unlimited money cannot buy American favor. They contrast Bloomberg's massive spending with the $110,000 allegedly spent by Russian troll factories in 2016, highlighting the disproportionate media focus on foreign interference versus domestic billionaire spending.

michael bloomberg· vladimir putin· election interference· advertising· campaign finance· 2016 election

1:55:18 American Samoa. No, she got one delegate from American Samoa that's not true I thought Biden won all of the Samoa though no no it was Bloomberg that won Samoa. Oh Bloomberg I'm sorry. Tulsi ended up with a delegate Hey let's just stop for a second and let's just say that we've learned one important thing already from this campaign and i'm very happy we learned about it And what we learned is Even unlimited money does not buy you favor with the American public. This is a good lesson, it's not really being deconstructed because everyone is afraid because they all want the Bloomberg bucks to flow into Biden but we learned that it doesn't work! No no... We've learned but we don't use advertising The advertising based companies like The New York Times are not talking about this I have one more thing to add

1:56:17 How much money did Putin personally and the Russians and the troll factory, how much did they spend on ads to meddle and hack our election in 2016? $110,000. How does that compare to Michael Bloomberg's 600 million dollars That's a good point. That's another thing no one is discussing, the ludicrous nature of these accusations! Well that's because the Russians are smarter man. They're smarter than Bloomberg. They're much better marketers man they get it they really know how to talk to the kids in the bag

CHAPTER 29 / 48 Discussion

Michael Bloomberg's Ten Million Dollar Prime Time Address

Michael Bloomberg purchased three minutes of prime-time airtime across major networks for an estimated $10 million to deliver an address on the coronavirus. The hosts criticize the production quality, noting the use of a static green screen. They also challenge Bloomberg's attempt to link his leadership during 9/11 to his qualifications, noting that Rudy Giuliani was the mayor during the actual attacks.

michael bloomberg· cbs· nbc· prime time· 9/11· rudy giuliani

1:56:58 Yes, that's a very good point. Thank you. Now so this report is nonsense and so the California vote was gonna go I think that may still have been messed with because Bernie did win California, but it was really expected to win by 50 points before we go to Super Tuesday Let's talk about a few things that happened before super 2 Tuesday Just to kind of you know set the stage because you can't you can't live without Analyzing the full spectrum of what took place now. The first thing that happened on Thursday I believe if Michael Bloomberg announced I'm going to miss Friday and

1:57:39 I'm going to do a prime time talk and he bought three minutes of airtime on CBS and CBS NBC and CBS 730 Eastern Time or maybe was also seven thirty on both coasts what do you think that cost him? Seven-thirty, three minutes. Ten million dollars at least At least I mean completely blew it. In fact, I pulled a small clip just because you know You can get an idea of what he was trying to do but the imagery was wrong It was a green screen and kind of had like a an out-of-focus flag and window in the background At least it looked like green screen to me if we had produced that we would have said okay Let's make it look like its live Mike

1:58:27 So you may be here just in the minute the camera comes up, the mic comes up and hear one. You know just like three two one and someone cues so to give it that live feel no instead he was so boring it was so static And then this is the kind of junky was mentioning As a former mayor of New York City I know it's critical that the federal government work in close partnership with state and local leaders who administer services and deploy first responders. That requires putting politics and partisanship aside I was first elected just weeks after the attack on 9-11 a massive rebuilding security and health challenge in my 12 years in office, I dealt with hurricane, blackout attempted terror attacks the West Nile virus and swine flu My method of leadership was to plan ahead before the problem arrived

1:59:23 And really his whole speech was, you know the president wasn't prepared. He's no good coronavirus is going to kill us meanwhile he's touting how prepared he was for West Nile virus and for swine flu oh please Bloomberg! You know what what's interesting about that clip? Mm-hmm...and I feel bad about this because i should have at least done some research I was under the impression during his bullcrap ads which you've been inundated with here and in California, and I have to go back and look at these ads that he was mayor during 9-11. No Giuliani was mayor during 9-11 wasn't it? Yeah well that's what I remembered but then when I started watching these Bloomberg ads I being taken in

Michael Moore's Controversial South Carolina Comments

Filmmaker Michael Moore faced backlash on "Black Twitter" after stating that South Carolina's primary results were not representative of the United States. Moore was attempting to defend Bernie Sanders following Joe Biden's victory in the state. The hosts suggest Moore's rhetoric may have inadvertently harmed the Sanders campaign by alienating minority voters.

michael moore· bernie sanders· south carolina· joe biden· black twitter· demographics

2:00:07 Making it so well make us Giuliani may have been out. Yeah, and I guess this guy came in but Giuliani made a big scene during 9-11 rally the troops But that would because he was just he was just in there and Bloomberg just got in So why wouldn't you do that? Right right. So I've been misled by Bloomberg. He's a liar The other thing that happened was Michael Moore made a big boo-boo after South Carolina. Michael Moore is of course a Bernie supporter and... And the poster boy for vasectomies I might add Well you sure that isn't Chris, no what's his name from MSNBC? No he's yeah he's not the poster boy i mean you look at Michael Moore and there you're seeing the old woman look that you will get if you get one of these things

2:00:59 Just take a look at it. Buyer beware, this is a public service announcement. Buyer beware! Take a look at Michael Moore And there you go. So he, uh... He's- this is a minute clip listen to what he says and I'll tell you what the fallout was We reported earlier tonight the reminder that Joe Biden has run for president three times This weekend is the first time he has ever won a state There are Democratic Party insiders- 32 years of running he's won one state Here's what you said about Joe Biden You're warning Democrats this was quite awhile back I want to play for this in October take a listen Joe Biden is the center. Joe Biden this year is Hillary. Joe Biden's not going to excite the base to get out there and vote on November 3rd, 2020. 70% of people voting next year are either women, people of color or young people between 18-35 years old

2:01:51 70 percent. How do you square that with South Carolina? South Carolina is not a representative of the United States, I mean that's just- That's just the fact. South Carolina will have absolutely no impact on the November 3rd election It is still the same it's at least 70% of those eligible this November are young people who are people of color and women So on black Twitter this did not go over well They were saying, well why don't you just call us the N-word Michael Moore? We're not representative of America. Now I think i know what he was trying to say but he's so insane that really turned a lot of people off and I'm sure that hurt Bernie. I think Michael Moore hurt him now that's not to say

CHAPTER 31 / 48 Discussion

Democratic Establishment Consolidation Around Joe Biden

In a rapid consolidation of the Democratic field, Amy Klobuchar, Pete Buttigieg, and Beto O'Rourke dropped out and endorsed Joe Biden just before Super Tuesday. The hosts discuss rumors that Barack Obama and Bill Clinton orchestrated these moves to stop Bernie Sanders' momentum. Biden also announced that Beto O'Rourke would lead his administration's efforts on gun control.

joe biden· amy klobuchar· pete buttigieg· beto o'rourke· barack obama· dnc

2:02:40 that the fix was not in for Biden. Oh my god, this was beautiful! And that's by the way... because I told you this... Yeah you are so right, i'm kicking myself, I laughed at you, I chuckled behind your back You mocked me Me and the other mean girls we pointed out to you when you weren't looking We were saying that guy he thinks that the establishment is all-in for Biden How is it possible? Well holy crap I want to mention this one thing before we get too far away from some of these votes and the Bernie thing. Bernie was supposed to win California by 50%. He won it, but it's only by 30%, so I think they tried to rig it because I don't know how Biden won Texas! I mean he won Minnesota

2:03:28 He never even set up shop in Minnesota. He didn't run an ad! He didn't put a bumper sticker there. Well, so the night before Super Tuesday and I was watching this live it was happening and it was Dallas and first of all I saw the mayor of Austin Steve Adler standing there jizzing all over Biden. He was right off to the side, he's got this look and he was just so I can see because I hate this guy. My hate is a strong word. I think it's dick and i'm going to try and help recall him get him out this guy's ruining Austin

2:04:10 I'm looking, he's all in love with Joe and i can just see his mind going that's me one day keep it together Adler you'll be president one day just like Joe. I can see it! Get out of what are you doing in Dallas? We got problems here in Austin you suck up so here's what happened the way where he was standing next to Biden in Dallas yeah What's he doing in Dallas? Sucking up to Biden. He is a part of the system, man! He is a part of the capital E establishment and the establishment came out and did its business I am ending my campaign and endorsing Joe Biden for president

2:04:53 So here we have Amy Klobuchar, Bloomberg And, well Beto was the last one you heard. And Mayor Pete now apparently rumor has it that calls went out and Obama called everybody and said You've got to stop! You can't run we've gotta let Joe have it. I believe it. I believe that when it was certainly Bill Clinton who was manning the phones and I really think that Obama put in a call because CIA Pete didn't want to give up

2:05:52 then Obama said okay and then just all funding got pulled, all DNC funding he was just completely wiped out. And it appears that deals were made Elizabeth Warren just dropped out this morning that's now official deals have been made cabinet positions have been promised in fact who is gonna take care of the most important thing an existential threat not climate change? El próximo presidente de los Estados Unidos, Joe Biden! Let's go for Joe. I want to make something clear...I'm going to guarantee you this is not a last year scene of this guy You're gonna take care of the gun problem with me. You're gonna be the one who leads this effort. I'm counting on ya So Beto-Joe Biden just said Beto O'Rourke is gonna take care of the gun problem once he's president Oh, this is very popular

2:06:45 Yeah, that is gonna go... there goes Texas! Hello Trump. That's a really- and may I just once again say why does the technical crew at the Biden campaign hate Joe Biden so much? I mean now the guy is finally on top he's doing stuff and it's like, VOTE FOR THE REST OF US! VOTE TO BE IN TEXAS! VOTE! I don't understand it It has to be- You just explained it you just explained it They hate him This is the trouble with technical crews. This is the camera guys, this is the lighting guys These are all the guys IBEW guys all these guys Yeah They're they're regular guys And they like to be treated as normal and you know it's part of this part of the structure But if you treat them like crap which I have to assume Biden probably does Must be must be

2:07:37 He is probably just so they treat him like crap and you believe me They have more power than you do at the when all is said and done You want to make sure that the crew likes you So while this is taking place, while the establishment is moving everything into position and you do this just before Super Tuesday that's...that was what I hadn't even thought. You clearly knew it because you've been following them and you predicted that they were gonna be all in and they rolled it out lickety-split even Hillary was on board! Is the behavior of the establishment right now only furthering a narrative?

CHAPTER 32 / 48 Discussion

Hillary Clinton Vice Presidential Speculation

Hillary Clinton dismissed claims that the primary process is rigged while defending the "electability" of establishment candidates. The hosts speculate on the possibility of Clinton being selected as Joe Biden's running mate, suggesting a scenario where she could ascend to the presidency. They also consider New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham as a potential VP pick to appeal to the "Latinx" demographic.

hillary clinton· joe biden· vice president· michelle lujan grisham· electability· dnc

2:08:14 that somehow everything is rigged against them. I just reject that analysis, I see it in a lot of places if the establishment means you put your head down you get to work you figure out how you're gonna pay for things you build a coalition you actually make change then I think that's a misnomer. And if you listened to two of the candidates who just dropped out last night at the Biden rally, you know, the very accomplished senator from Minnesota and the very inspiring young mayor from South Bend why were they on that stage endorsing Joe Biden? Is it because they're already part of an establishment? No! Because they know how hard

Well I have a couple of gaffes why don't i play a couple quick gaffe lead up to yours. Play your gaffes and then I'll play my regular clips all right so here's that gaffe number one He doesn't know if it's 1920 or 2020 that always that always works

2:10:39 Then we have, this was a good one about health care and I take no pleasure out of playing these clips because this is elder abuse. The man is being used for this particular election... And I love your shtick on this it's beautiful! But I mean it, I really do mean it but I just take no Well I do take a little pleasure in it, but not real great joy. Here he is on the health care. Now what are we looking for? Quality healthcare? Affordable healthcare? Joe what are we going to get? And for folks in the working class that are below 400 they will in fact increase their premiums

2:11:16 The public option will be available in my plan. We'll make sure it's not a quality, we'll make sure it's only affordable." Okay so... We'll make sure it's not quality, its only affordable that sounds great Joe and then I'm going to take Joe side on what happened here. By the way this is my little sister Valerie and I am Jill's husband! Oh no there you go! Now you switched on me. This is my wife, this is my sister! They switched on me!" Now I saw this happen in real time and I saw that it was actually Jill Biden who said oh no we're supposed to stand the other way around and she switched places with uh with Biden's sister and he's getting hammered over not knowing who his wife was... Who also I will say what a badass

2:12:02 She just stood right up to those idiot protesters. Like, no I'm not having any of that!

CHAPTER 34 / 48 Discussion

Michael Bloomberg Withdraws and Endorses Joe Biden

Following a disappointing Super Tuesday where he only won American Samoa, Michael Bloomberg suspended his presidential campaign and endorsed Joe Biden. Bloomberg pledged to continue spending his fortune to defeat Donald Trump. Bernie Sanders expressed disappointment at the news, predicting that Bloomberg's resources would now be used to fund negative ads against his "political revolution."

michael bloomberg· american samoa· joe biden· bernie sanders· campaign finance· dnc

2:12:49 So I want to play the Biden rundown off ABC, which i thought was a good one because it did mention the possibility that this is rigged. They hinted at it they didn't want to go all in on it but let's play Biden run down 1. And what Joe Biden said today when asked is this the establishment trying to stop Bernie Sanders and tonight what Sanders is now saying about the race ahead Mike Bloomberg dropping out endorsing Joe Biden and the phone call that Elizabeth Warren had with Bernie Sanders today ABC's Mary Bruce tonight with the reshaped race for president. Joe Biden today is relishing his stunning comeback look uh we're gonna bring together all Americans, we did that and showed that last night The former vice president swept 10 out of 15 Super Tuesday contests including upsets in Minnesota and even Texas They don't call super tuesday for nothing

2:13:42 He also won two states in Bernie Sanders' backyard, Massachusetts and Maine. And we're told when he got to Super Tuesday it'd be over! Well it may be over for the other guy! The best week of Biden's campaign got even better... I'm glad to say that I endorse Joe Biden and I hope you will join me in working to make him the next President of the United States of America Michael Bloomberg poured more than half a billion dollars into his campaign only to win just one contest American Samoa And how come the American Samoa got the vote but Puerto Rico doesn't get the vote or did they get the vote?

2:14:24 I don't know what you get something if you don't get to vote in the pet. I don't know what did I lost track of who votes and who doesn't why it's okay? I want to mention that people they should read my essay that was linked into last newsletter which discusses Why this is all taking place to begin with because of the money. They can't let Bernie get this nomination because they will lose so much money, cause the bankers have already threatened to pull out him and we know Bloomberg who apparently owns the party he's threatening to drop all his money and they need money more than they need Bernie and don't think Bernie is going to win anyway So Bernie is through but read the essay cause it was very well structured Now

2:15:07 Here, let's go to Bernie the second part of that ABC report. Dropping out today he pledged to keep his checkbook open to help defeat President Trump I will not be our party's nominee but i will not walk away from the most important political fight in my life and I hope you won't walk away either Bloomberg's exit came as news to Sanders. Well, first I heard about that he certainly brought a lot of money into this race so i suspect we will see you know a lot of money coming into Biden's campaign probably a lot of negative ads attacking me

Cenk Uygur and The Young Turks Declare War on DNC

Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks delivered a passionate monologue accusing the Democratic establishment of "starting a war" against Bernie Sanders. Uygur argued that Joe Biden is mentally unfit to beat Donald Trump and defended Sanders' comments on Cuban literacy by comparing them to past statements made by Barack Obama. The hosts analyze the growing rift between the progressive base and the party leadership.

cenk uygur· the young turks· bernie sanders· joe biden· fidel castro· barack obama

2:15:45 Sanders winning Utah, Colorado and his home state of Vermont. And he's leading in California but today he was blunt Of course I'm disappointed that we'd like to win every state by a landslide It's not gonna happen What we are trying to do is unprecedented We are talking about a political revolution Okay, yeah So tired... He says nothing new Well, here's an interesting little clip. This is the Sanders campaign flaws. This is on CBS and I have a comment about this. Major before we let you go Bernie Sanders he has got to broaden his support if he wants to be victorious how does he do that?

2:16:24 Well, he has to not only broaden his support but first you have to create a message that is more inclusive. And Bernie Sanders talks about what he's building this multi-generational multiracial coalition well last night was a pretty good test of it didn't show up yes he had decent numbers among younger and some minority voters but not insufficiently large enough numbers to do anything but win in California by winning in California by not nearly the margin for the Sanders campaign expected Well, okay. Now I have a clip to play This did not sit well at all with the proto-typical... The proto ground zero Bernie bro Very very upset and call and talk of war Actual war is now on the table Can you surmise who i'm speaking of? Jory Reid Close! Chunk! Ah, chunk! Chunk! Chunk! Chunk Ugar

2:17:21 And he was pissed. We didn't start the war. They'll lie about it again, we didn't start the war they started the war. They've been lying about Bernie Sanders for God's sake on Castro I can give you a thousand examples Bernie Sanders said this same exact thing as Obama Everyone on TV is lying like oh my god What an outrageous thing of Bernie Sanders said Obama said the city no get shut up don't cover it Don't cover it

2:18:09 Obama said the same thing. Is Obama pro Fidel Castro? Same exact thing, God damn it tell the truth! God damn it tell the truth if you're not gonna do we're gonna do it okay and so you want to go to war will go to war and that is what this says We cannot let Biden win guys not just on progressives versus establishment This is so important I need you to understand this Biden's not going to beat Trump Biden is either near senile or actually senile, watch any of the tapes. And Biden lies nonstop! He's gonna get caught He's okay, the media is covering for him. But they're not gonna be able to cover when the Republicans come for him and when Trump comes for them he's not gonna beat Trump! The establishment candidate is less likely to beat Trump anyway we just had 2016 this that was beginning lost or doofus like Trump And now here we go an establishment candidate that is far worse with mental his mental faculties under question

2:19:05 His record worse than Hillary Clinton's. He lies a thousand times more than Hillary Clinton did, right? And you're gonna run that guy against Trump and we'll lose to Trump again and maybe lose our democracy? Hell no! Hell no! No Bernie Sanders is going to win this race. I'm telling you right now it is not just hey let us go fight its also prediction Biden is not capable of winning this and I'm we're not doing a brokered convention where they give it to someone who didn't get less votes Not going to happen Bernie Sanders is gonna be the nominee. I'm telling you right now Yes, so couple things one Yeah that I feel bad for giving you clip of the day for that when you're done with your talk Well, I'll take it right now if you don't mind I'd hate to forget it like I sometimes do diluted well a couple of things one

2:19:55 He and I'm just, I think he speaks on behalf of a big corporate, a big collection of people that the Bernie supporters, voters. And they know they got screwed they did! They got screwed by the establishment but i am on the other hand happy because now do you see what the media is doing? This is what we've been telling you for 13 years and I'm sure that the Young Turks if they even know we exist think were a bunch of dickwads. I'm sure of it Do you see what we're talking about, Chunk? Do you see what's going on here?" I also looked into his accusation that Obama said exactly the same thing as Bernie. Very hard to find! Apparently it came from a 2016 town hall meeting so i only was able to get a clip that includes some hokey-ass shit music but its fairly similar and you recall the Bernie said,

2:20:52 They put literacy programs in place and everyone could read. It was very good, they had great medical care That's pretty much what Obama said. I said, look you've made great progress in educating young people. Every child in Cuba gets a basic education that's a huge improvement from where it was. Medical care the life expectancy of Cubans is equivalent to the United States despite it being a very poor country because they have access to health care. That's a huge achievement, they should be congratulated." But of course it was Obama so you know that just sounds better doesn't sound as threatening uh... the way obama uses his tone of voice I think is perfect because he saying this is factually true its true but we all know he's communist thats kind of implied so no it's not exactly the same chunk however

Joe Biden's History of Academic and Personal Embellishments

A retrospective look at Joe Biden's 1987 presidential campaign reveals a history of academic embellishments, including false claims about graduating in the top half of his law class and having three degrees. Newsweek reporting from the era confirmed Biden ranked near the bottom of his class at the University of Syracuse. The hosts suggest these historical "lies" are relevant to his current credibility.

joe biden· university of syracuse· law school· newsweek· plagiarism· academic record

2:21:52 When it comes to Joe Biden lying, yeah we've got some pretty good historical evidence. There was quite the fracas several decades ago which needs to be revisited. The new questions stem from taped remarks of Biden during an April campaign appearance in New Hampshire I went to law school on a full academic scholarship the only one in my class that had a full academic scholarship Went back to law school and in fact ended up in the top half of my class I was the outstanding student in the political science department at the end of my year. I graduated with three degrees from undergraduate school and 165 credits, only need 123 credits. Biden now concedes he did not graduate in the top half of his law school class that he does not have three degrees from college

2:22:34 and that he was not named outstanding political science student in college. Newsweek says Biden actually went to school on a half scholarship, ended up near the bottom of his class and won only one degree not three Joe Biden ranked 76th in the class of 85 at the University of Syracuse Law School I mean this guy comes off this whole thing as a flyweight Now Biden says Newsweek is right and his memory had failed him So yeah, he's an embellisher a liar and in even then he was blaming his memory which could not have improved Well is the idea is again if people read my essay it's not about anything but the money They've already conceded that fact that Trump's gonna win and chunk can think what he wants I do want to say something about the campaign clip. I played you need You just need to re-explain at one point when you say It's About The Money make sure you explain what The Money Is About And Who Its For

CHAPTER 37 / 48 Discussion

DNC Financial Strategy and Down-Ballot Concerns

The Democratic National Committee's pivot toward Joe Biden is framed as a financial necessity to protect down-ballot candidates. The hosts argue that major donors and the "billionaire class" would withdraw support if Bernie Sanders were the nominee, potentially leading to a total collapse of party funding. They assert that the DNC prioritizes maintaining its relationship with the banking sector over progressive policy goals.

dnc· bernie sanders· billionaire class· bankers· campaign funding· down-ballot

2:23:28 The money is for, okay. There's a lot of money that goes in the DNC needs to collect as much and Hillary used to be great at getting a lot of money. She's not going to get any money for Sanders, that's for sure. The money is not just for the presidential guy. The money is for the down ballot and their concerns seriously concerned about down ballot which is everybody else so you have to have not only money too for the presidential candidate you need money overflowing so it goes through the down ballot people that's why you need a Bloomberg who will drop 500 million on his own lark of a campaign, he dropped a billion bucks if it's needed. And then you have all these bankers who already said they're not going to dig it out there done if Warren gets in let alone Bernie so they're not going to be helping and the Democrat party as I explained in the essay is really at that party of the bankers and the billionaire class nowadays. So they need this money. They're not going to get this money if Bernie's running and it's Bernie would just screw up everything. They'd lose everything.

2:24:28 The party would fall apart if Bernie got this. They're not going to let it happen. Now, do you think that the Democrat Party believes that the Bloomberg money will help them retain the House and capture the Senate? Well, that's the hope Do you think they have a chance in hell? No Not even the House? They could retain the House. It wouldn't be a complete disaster like it would be with Bernie where they not only wouldn't have, they have a chance in hell but they wouldn't have any chance in hell if Bernie was running because there would be...the money would dry up and then you know Bernie can get some money but it's not..it's a joke by comparison so that and Bernie is not even a Democrat he's not even a member of the party and it's a party these parties- IT'S LIKE A PARTY!

2:25:12 It's a party. Now, I want to mention before Super Tuesday when everybody or actually before South Carolina before everybody's oh you know Biden is done! I have been put these clips together but the clip that really gets to me is the one where you listen to Major Garrett talk about, you know Bernie can't get anything going on as opposed to two weeks earlier when you listened to Brooks. I don't have the clip here out there find it again were Brooks on the PBS news hours also serious about you know the thing about Bernie why he's gonna win is because he's got a message. He's got a clear message and a clear vision, and nobody else in the whole Democrat Party has a clear message or vision. And so that's why Bernie is going to win. So everybody's all on Bernie and his message and his vision until he loses. Now everybody says this is like stock market analysis whatever the market does you've got the same excuse flipped by oh the market went down because of

Donna Brazile's Heated Exchange on Fox News

Former DNC Chair Donna Brazile had a volatile reaction on Fox News when asked about Ronna McDaniel's comments regarding a potentially rigged brokered convention. Brazile told Republicans to "stay the hell out of our race" and accused McDaniel of using "Russian talking points." The hosts critique Brazile's history, including her 2016 resignation over leaking debate questions to the Clinton campaign.

donna brazile· ronna mcdaniel· fox news· dnc· brokered convention· russian talking points

2:26:07 It's a buying opportunity. It is one thing or another, but this is over it's over and I don't even think in my essay do kind of indicate that maybe the possibility of the brokered convention...I don't think that's even possible now. Biden is gonna take it outright! That explains Donna Brazile's anger on Fox and Friends you know Donna Brazil who in the 2016 election had to resign from her post as vice chair of the DNC because of the way they screwed Bernie. Well known, I'm not making it up She also took questions from CNN and gave them to the Hillary campaign

2:26:49 For the for the town hall see one of the debates we had a couple questions. He's rotten person I guess that the Democrat media or the left-leaning media don't want her anymore So now she's a staple on Fox and Friends along or on Fox along with our other buddy Marie Harf from who was the State Department's spokeswoman for a while and here she gets mad. We had Donna McDaniel on, Donna earlier on the program as chairwoman of the RNC and she was talking about the possibility of a brokered convention, the impact that would have on Bernie Sanders. Here is Donna.

2:27:27 It does depend on how big the lead that Sanders takes out of California is if he picks up a huge proportion of delegates, but I don't see anybody getting out soon and it's leading towards potentially broker convention which will be rigged against Bernie if those superdelegates have their way in that second vote. To that you say what Donna? First of all I want to talk to my Republicans first of all stay the hell out of our race! Hell out of our race. I get sick and tired Ed And Sandra listen to Republicans tell me and the Democrats about our process first of all they don't have a process They're canceling primaries they have winner-take-all They don't have The kind of democracy that we see on the Democratic side and for people to use Russian talking points is so division among Americans, that is stupid so Rana

2:28:19 Go to hell. This is not about... No, go to hell! I'm tired of it Ed. We're not trying to prevent anyone from becoming the nominee if you have the delegates and win, you will win this notion that somehow or another Democrats are out there trying to put hurdles or roadblocks before one candidate that's stupid know what's going on. They are scared of Democrats coming together to defeat Donald Trump they need to be focusing on what we're focusing on the Democratic Party and that is preventing foreign interference in our elections stop using Russian talking points Madam Chair one month. Period! Using Russian talking points and, of course that's where I get the ISO for the end of the show. Go to hell! And i thought that was kind of

Don't Walk Run Podcast and Sargon of Akkad Mentions

A segment features a clip from the "Don't Walk Run" YouTube channel, where the creator incorrectly predicted that Michael Bloomberg would not drop out of the race. When asked if he listens to the No Agenda Show, the creator stated he does not have time, preferring Ben Shapiro and Sargon of Akkad. The hosts use this to highlight the varying accuracy of different political analysts.

Rogan Bump and Global Producer Contributions

The show experiences a "Rogan bump" in donations following Adam Curry's appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience.

2:48:00 It's like a party I just have a quick little news blurb that i caught this morning. And the reason why I want to bring it up is one of our favorite things the FBI does The FBI is always great at entrapment basically You know, they'll get someone who has low IQ and they'll jack them all up. And hey man you like killing Muslims don't ya? Yeah yeah yeah we'll get you some guns. A bomb! I bought a bomb... yeah love a bomb okay hey hey hey man just dial the cell phone it will blow up okay okay and then they arrest him They sucker these people in Well now there is a claim by Lori Loughlin We know her well She got into trouble for the college admissions scam

2:49:02 And she alleges and has apparent evidence that the mastermind on the college's side, a guy named Singer, that the FBI forced this guy to lie to the parents about paying bribes and coerced him into telling the parents they were legitimate donations. This is a problem. This is the problem for the prosecution. Yeah, yeah The couple claims to have proof that the mastermind behind the sprawling scheme Rick Singer Was told by FBI agents to lie about whether parents knew they were paying bribes rather than legitimate donations

2:49:47 February 26 motion to postpone Laughlin Giannulli's upcoming trial date. Attorney Sean Berkowitz wrote the prosecution had handed over notes from Singer's iPhone describing the alleged FBI coercion. Singer's notes indicate that FBI agents yelled at him and instructed him to lie by saying that he told his clients who participated in the alleged side door scheme, that their payments were bribes rather than legitimate donations that went to the schools This is wow this is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Amnesty International Reports Iranian Security Forces Killed Children

Amnesty International reports that Iranian security forces killed at least 23 children during a crackdown on anti-government protests in November. The report notes that live ammunition was used against unarmed demonstrators. The hosts critique Democracy Now's coverage, which linked the unrest to fuel price increases caused by U.S. sanctions following the withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal.

iran· amnesty international· democracy now· amy goodman· sanctions· protests

2:50:45 Crazy. Oh, this could be bad. Yeah I think so! Well we have a funny clip there you know the Iranians have had a lot of riots don't get reported a lot about here but there's it and they killed a lot of people in their because they shoot good bullets at them to break up the riots and i was listening to this report just from Democracy Now and Amy mm-hmm and so I'm thinking heres about its about iranians killing protesters how How do you, hmm let's see. I've got a report on Iran is killing... how can i somehow blame Trump?

2:51:22 I can't wait. Amnesty International reports Iranian security forces shot and killed at least 23 children during crackdown and anti-government protests in November among those struck and killed by live ammunition was a girl who may have been as young as eight years old Security Forces killed many, as many as 1500 unarmed demonstrators and bystanders during the November protests which were sparked by a sharp increase in gas prices. The rising fuel costs came amidst devastating sanctions imposed by the U.S., after President Trump withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal."

Trump Personnel Chief John McEntee Loyalty Tests

CNN reports that the new head of the Presidential Personnel Office, 29-year-old John McEntee, is using questionnaires to verify the loyalty of potential political appointees. The hosts discuss McEntee's background, including his 2018 firing by John Kelly over a gambling problem and tax issues, which the media has characterized as being under "federal investigation."

john mcentee· donald trump· cnn· loyalty test· political appointees· gambling

2:52:02 Yeah, very creative grammar school protesters. Meanwhile another report from the markets now and Amy you know out to get you know just embarrass Trump because she wants Bernie to win but of course that's going to go nowhere Let's go with that. Trump rehired this guy, McEntee to do what it seems like a thing you should do with this administration but listen the way she kind of twists it and leaves information out CNN reports Trump's new personnel chief is distributing questionnaires to potential political appointees to verify their loyalty to President Trump

2:52:39 As part of the Trump litmus test, candidates must explain what part of Trump's campaign, quote, most appealed to them. The campaign to identify and purge anti-Trump staffers is being led by 29 year old John McEntee whom Trump recently appointed head of the presidential personnel office. Before he was rehired this year, McEntee was fired in 2018 by then Chief of Staff General John Kelly because he was under federal investigation for financial crimes." What were those accusations? Do you remember? You think she'd mention that don't ya! Yeah I'm curious

2:53:18 Well, apparently he has a gambling problem and he had a couple of tax filings that weren't quite kosher. Yeah well screw them then. But in tax filing if you look at it even being audited apparently that's being under government investigation! Well, that happens to me once every 10 years then. So I think that's about as slanted as a crappy report is as Amy could probably muster good work here is an announcement from Judicial Watch the right wing group of lawyers or right-wing funded group of lawyers I should say the president Tom Fitton all jacked up

2:53:55 Hi everyone, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton here with big breaking news. The federal court today authorized Judicial Watch to take the sworn deposition testimony of Hillary Clinton about her emails and about the related Benghazi attack records in doing so the court authorized Judicial Watch to clarify and further explore Secretary Clinton's answers in person Immediately after she gives them, the court agrees with Judicial Watch. It is time to hear directly from Secretary Clinton." Now it's this big Judicial Watch lawsuit that first exposed the Clinton email scandal so we're pleased the court has authorized Judicial Watch to question Hillary Clinton about her email practices and how it impacted people's right to know under the Freedom of Information Act

2:54:41 Bada-bing that should be interesting. Well, that's gonna go nowhere it's interesting though because She'll never sit down she'll never should that'll be you'll never sit down Why would she protested? There's a bunch of a bunch of indictments for money laundering sealed indictments No, these are real indictment Supposedly they're not being reported on much but we'll have details by Sunday Okay Unless you got something else. I feel good. I see we should go out on this line Just because I was ragging on Amy so much, and when I play one more clip from her This is actually a good one

2:55:17 Kind of. This is about the facial recognition scandal that is floating around it, I think this is a reasonably good report. A top Democratic lawmakers demanding answers from a secretive artificial intelligence company over its sale of facial recognition technology to repressive regimes including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey sent a letter to Clearview AI on Tuesday demanding information about the company's database of billions of images scraped from Facebook and other social media sites. Senator Markey wrote, quote, The use of sophisticated facial recognition technology is concerning even in a democracy with strong civil liberties but its export to certain foreign countries could enable mass surveillance and repression of minorities he wrote

2:56:07 In recent days, students at three dozen U.S. universities held protests against administrators' plans to use facial recognition on their campuses.
