About this episode

Mayor Steve Adler and Austin officials reversed course this week by canceling the 34th annual South by Southwest festival following a local disaster declaration. The move, which follows high-profile withdrawals from major tech firms, allows the city to access specific funds from the $8.3 billion Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act. While health officials previously claimed cancellation would not stop the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the signing of the federal bill provided a financial incentive for the emergency pivot.

The federal response bill includes $3.1 billion for vaccine manufacturing and $435 million for global health initiatives, though critics point to "fuzzy" language allowing funds to be merged with State Department diplomatic programs and overseas contingency operations. Admiral Brett Giroir estimated a mortality rate between 0.1% and 1%, suggesting a significant "denominator problem" in early modeling. Meanwhile, the UAW saw former chief Gary Jones indicted for embezzling $1 million just before the Michigan primary, and Saudi Arabia launched an oil price war against Russia, sending crude prices toward $28 a barrel as rumors circulate regarding the health of King Salman.

Joe Biden provided several viral moments this week, including a reference to "Ogamacare" and a confusing exchange with Chris Wallace where he appeared to forget the host's name. Satirical candidate Vermin Supreme continues his bid for the presidency with a platform of free ponies and mandatory toothbrushing. Hillary Clinton also returned to the spotlight, using a Hulu documentary premiere and a Tonight Show appearance with Jimmy Fallon to allege Iranian interference in the Democratic primary.

Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, South Korea Data Trust

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open the session on International Women's Day, noting the political fallout for Elizabeth Warren. A discussion with a former New York banker reveals skepticism toward New York Times reporting and a prediction that the economic recovery will follow a V-shape rather than a U-shape. The banker suggests that global fear will subside once South Korea publishes definitive, low mortality numbers that the international community can trust.

00:00 Orange man kill babies. Adam Curry, John C. DeVore. It's Sunday, March 8th, 2020. This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1223. This is no agenda. Throwing yoga flame and broadcasting live from Opportunity Zone 33 here 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 have shaved heads and fists in the air, it's International Women's Day. I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.

00:35 Wow man, leave California. Is that what you got there? Is that all you have for International Woman's Day? Shaved heads and fists in the air. No, seriously? Is that what's going on? No. You're making that up, right? They screwed Elizabeth Warren. Oh yeah, well that's true. Oh man, I just had to think. We had the New York banker, the former New York banker and his wife over last night. Yes, we hosted them. Yeah, so that's why I was chuckling about Elizabeth Warren. I learned a couple things. Yes, we're all ears. Everybody. I just want to make sure you're ready for me. Let me see. Four main topics. One, the New York Times sucks. It's now using the same model as Fox News. Pander to your audience. Caveat, he says, that's the only way you can make money anymore in media.

01:38 This is a revelation to him? Well, I don't know. I guess. Then I have, ah yes, we talked about the economy and what's going to happen with the rebound from once coronavirus is over. And he said that apparently now people are talking about a U recovery. I don't know if you know there's some people say the first it was all we might see a V recovery and then I guess everyone's talking about a U recovery. Ooh. But he refutes that.

02:17 And he agrees with our basic premise that this is not a big deal, that that's how kind of how he got to the bull crap from the Times and you know he says everyone it says that a lot of Trump hate, he agrees, Trump hate in the reporting. He also thinks it will pass pretty quickly and he believes he has the mechanism that will reverse the trend of, well the trend of the market but also the fear factor in the world. that would be once South Korea definitively publishes its numbers and he thinks it'll be somewhere like a half of a half, you know, of a tenth of a percent. He thinks it'll be extremely low but that the South Koreans will be trusted because they can be trusted when they come out with numbers and it will be positioned as such. I like that. I think there's some validity to that. I agree. However,

Donald Trump Debt Refinancing, Japanese Debt Trap

President Donald Trump expresses a desire to refinance the United States national debt during a town hall, citing a favorable interest rate climate. Analysis suggests the U.S. is entering a "Japanese debt trap" where stimulus and money printing fail to prevent economic deflation. The primary driver of this stagnation is identified as a lack of young people, leading to a recommendation for increased domestic birth rates to sustain the economy.

03:15 He says, the United States, you know, I said, hey man, are we going into, what's going, is this going to be a financial reset? What's happening? All these, you know, there's a lot of stuff going on. And in fact, he laughed. Let me see if I have this. I laugh. Well, what did I always say about Trump with the US debt? What did you say? Well, you laughed about it just on the previous show. I said he wants to do a refi. He wants to refi our debt. Oh, I didn't laugh about it. I just thought it was... Yes, you did. But listen, here is the president at the town hall from earlier this week. Also a lot of questions, Mr. President, about the national debt.

03:58 Since being president, you've signed into law $4.7 trillion of debt, including $2.1 trillion of discretionary spending. Understand that you're spending on the military as well. When you ran for president, at one point, you said that you would pay off the debt within eight years. So now we're about four years in, and the debt is up $3.5 trillion. That's about 18%. Republicans and Democrats obviously are not talking about the national debt a lot on Capitol Hill or on the campaign trail. But I talk about it. Do you care about the national debt? I do, very much. And I'll always talk about it because to me it's very important. Now the good thing about the debt is we're paying very little interest, almost nothing. This is a great interest climate. In fact, I want to refinance the debt. I had to fix the military. There it is, man. Refinance the debt.

04:50 Destruction guys, they're all the same every five just to refine your refi but now but Then he said something interesting about where we're going to go. He says it doesn't matter. He says we are in the Japanese debt trap And I'm like, Japanese debt trap. Yeah, he says, look at what happened with Japan, although there was an important difference. And I'm paraphrasing him. He said, in Japan, it didn't matter how much stimulus, whatever they tried to do, how much they printed, it made no difference. The economy just kept slowly deflating.

05:26 which of course kind of backs up the modern monetary theory, but the problem Japan had, and he says the same goes for China eventually, is they don't have enough young people. And that's why Japan just really can't get out of it. So his advice is we better get busy. We need to make more babies. That was his... He says that's the only way we can avoid it. And I don't see that happening with dogs. Ah, I don't see it happening with dogs either. Dogs replacing children in today's society. So I thought that was interesting. And then the final one, as we were talking a little bit more about coronavirus, he said... You know, when you have, of course, it's International Women's Day, you have a, when you have a societal discouragement of having babies and families, there's a discouragement of families.

06:27 which means the discouragement of babies. And this is built into the economy, it's built into the school system, it's built into the colleges, and that's why we have all these people that have furry babies. And my baby has four paws and all these kinds of bumper stickers. The system is pushed, the family, it's designed to destroy the country. And who was behind this system and how do we stop them? Soros? You know, it's funny. I was talking to my buddy from Holland yesterday, Robert Jensen, and he said, and I didn't think to look for a clip, but he says apparently earlier this year,

George Soros Conspiracy Claims, Silicon Valley Telework

Conspiracy theories circulate regarding George Soros potentially using the coronavirus crisis to influence the upcoming election. Meanwhile, major Silicon Valley firms like Google and Amazon encourage employees to work from home, which some interpret as a move to stimulate the telecommunications industry. Skeptics argue that corporate leaders still prefer physical office presence to maintain control and teamwork, despite the current shift toward remote work.

05:26 which of course kind of backs up the modern monetary theory, but the problem Japan had, and he says the same goes for China eventually, is they don't have enough young people. And that's why Japan just really can't get out of it. So his advice is we better get busy. We need to make more babies. That was his... He says that's the only way we can avoid it.

You know, when you have, of course, it's International Women's Day, you have a, when you have a societal discouragement of having babies and families, there's a discouragement of families.

06:27 which means the discouragement of babies. And this is built into the economy, it's built into the school system, it's built into the colleges, and that's why we have all these people that have furry babies. And my baby has four paws and all these kinds of bumper stickers. The system is pushed, the family, it's designed to destroy the country. And who was behind this system and how do we stop them? Soros? You know, it's funny. I was talking to my buddy from Holland yesterday, Robert Jensen, and he said, and I didn't think to look for a clip, but he says apparently earlier this year,

07:12 Maybe it wasn't, yeah, earlier, maybe it was at the end of last year. Soros apparently said, yes, yes, there's only eight months until the election, but in a revolution, eight months is a lifetime. And so now the conspiracy minded, of course, are thinking that all of this, including the coronavirus scare, has all been propagated by George Soros. And why not? Yeah, they can't die. And in the mode of never let a good crisis go to waste, the analysis from the former New York banker was pretty interesting about Silicon Valley is now, is it Google, Amazon, Apple as well? They're all asking their employees to telework from home?

07:59 I think a lot of them are. I mean, Amazon doesn't have a lot of presence down here, but they yeah, but they've done that before. I mean, it's the it's very doable for these companies to have people working from home. Well, what the what the former New York banker posited is, oh, yes, he posited this just before a D. He posited it. He said, no, this is a, they're doing this to stimulate Silicon Valley. He says by doing this they want to stimulate more telecommuting companies, you know, more technology, more networks, more broadband.

08:36 It says it's and of course for them huge differences in overhead, so they're trying to use this to prove to I guess shareholders board members Workers alike that see it works. We can do it. You can just stay home. That's much better I think there's something to it. That's not even close. That's what he thinks is going on. Yeah, I'm sure he does. You don't think so? I used to imagine that sort of thing myself years ago when I was writing about telework, which it became known as. And then you start looking into it and now... It's not the way it works. They want to see people. It's like you had a company, you know, pod show and Ron Bloom wanted to see people. He wanted to see people in their desks. Everybody, all these guys in Silicon Valley, all these bosses, they don't like the idea of people working from home. Yeah, it sounds good on paper and maybe you can sell it to somebody, but in fact they want to see bodies. So they, I control these people.

09:38 I've never seen any evidence to the contrary. One time on Silicon Spin show, I had an entrepreneur on there. She was very kind of famous, famous enough. Who was this? I'm not going to mention her name. She would go on and on about it. I don't understand why people have to be in the office because sometimes we have a meeting, we need teams, we need to have teamwork, we need this camaraderie. It has to be in the present. I got into a big argument with her about telework. No, no, there's no chance of that happening with this mentality. Okay, that's what they have all these big buildings. That's why there's this Salesforce tower This tower is mine. I am the king of this tower Well three out of four for the former New York banker is not bad then not bad

South by Southwest Cancellation, Austin Disaster Declaration

Mayor Steve Adler cancels the 34th annual South by Southwest (SXSW) festival in Austin, Texas, following a local disaster declaration. Despite previous statements from health officials that canceling the event would not stop the spread of COVID-19, the city reversed its position to mitigate the risk of person-to-person transmission. The decision comes as numerous high-profile tech companies and performers had already withdrawn from the festival.

10:28 And we might as well... Depends on the you thing. I think I'm also of this... I subscribe to the you idea. The V recovery, a you recovery. I think your recovery would be better. But he says it's going to be a V. He doesn't say it's going to be a you. Yeah, I know. That's why he says V. I think U. Two out of four ain't bad, ladies and gentlemen. Corona! Virus. So we might as well stick with that for a moment. It's kind of hot. And I do have the bill that was signed into law by the president on Friday, the Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act. Money, money, money, money, money. But first, let's find out what happened within the hour after the president signed this bill, which contains appropriations, means distribution of money.

11:22 to the tune of 8.3 billion dollars. Within the hour, our fearless leader in Austin, Mayor Adler, cancelled South by Southwest. Disaster declarations from both the city of Austin and Travis County cancelled what would have been the festival's 34th year. Community leaders saying people's health is just more important. This is an evaluation that is ongoing daily with decisions made daily. Friday afternoon, just days from the start of South by Southwest, the City of Austin canceled the festival with a disaster declaration. At the same time, the county issued a similar declaration. To festival gatherings,

12:04 that are attracting individuals from areas that have documented cases of person-to-person transmission of COVID-19, and also those participants would be expected to be in close and sustained proximity with one another. But just two days ago, the city's health officials said that canceling the festival would not stop the spread of coronavirus in Austin. There is no evidence that closing South by Southwest or other activities is going to make this community safer. Friday, they added having the festival would help spread the virus faster. There was no acceptable path forward that would mitigate the risk enough to protect our community. Officials looked at the size of events, venues, where guests were coming from, and if those places had any threats of person-to-person contact between people with coronavirus.

CHAPTER 05 / 40 Discussion

Coronavirus Preparedness Act, Mayor Adler Tequila Video

The cancellation of SXSW is linked to the signing of the $8.3 billion Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act, which requires local disaster declarations to access specific funds. Mayor Adler faced criticism for releasing a video of himself drinking tequila at a local restaurant shortly after canceling the festival for health reasons. The federal bill includes $475 million for cities that must be allocated within 30 days.

12:57 fact that this is a high impact disease and that we lack a vaccine or treatment at this stage makes the threat higher as well. There are still no confirmed cases in Austin or Travis County and for the past week businesses and performers have been dropping out of South by. Right, so let's take a look at a few things. First of all, this is very sad for Austin. This is our big event. It's our big annual event. It brings in over $350 million according to last year's numbers. Can I make a quick comment? Yeah, sure. A couple of things. One, they said they're canceling the event for health reasons. Well, if that was the case, it would have canceled it years ago. I don't know if you've ever, you know, the drunk fest that it is. The other thing is, as soon as I hear all this, because I know people were starting to bail

13:54 Yes, we're going to keep doing it. This guy bails and then that guy bails and then this guy bills. It was headed to being a money loser if it kept on. And I'm going to you probably know the answer to this. But is it possible that it was canceled officially because that triggers some insurance clause to keep these guys from losing their assets? Well, the insurance clause on the South by Southwest organizers is unclear. This conflicting reports. But the reason why this was signed an hour within the president signing it into bill, this declaration was made, is very obvious from the money being distributed. There is emergency money, and you know when you look at eight billion dollars, and I'll break it down a little bit, it doesn't sound like a lot, but when you break it into hundreds of millions, and you see how many hundreds of millions that is, and you think a hundred million dollars is a lot of money,

14:47 The most important chunk of money is $475 million dollars which will be made available to cities and well they also do tribal areas stuff like that but cities who have declared an emergency. And that $475 million dollars says here The $475 million of the funds made available in the preceding provisio shall be allocated within 30 days! It's like, gotta rush, gotta spend it quick, gotta get it out there. So I think Adler of course had no choice. There was a moveon.org or change.org

15:30 petition which to me is always like okay you got 50,000 somethings 50,000 people signed this now I don't know about that maybe maybe not I don't know exactly we but you know as a as a Democratic mayor he had no choice You know, for him it's the easiest one. It's like if I just bail out, you know, if someone gets sick then I'm screwed. Now we're gonna get the money anyway so maybe some of that money goes to compensate South by but there will be programs for small businesses as well. I'll read some of that to you. But here's the, to me, disgusting thing.

16:06 The same day in the evening after this announcement was made, the mayor posts a video with the city attorney, who you heard speak there, and his health official, and they're sitting in one of Austin's better-known eating establishments. And they got tequila and they're drinking and they're eating and during this eating and drinking of the food, they record this video. I'm here with our senator and our county judge standing with Austin. You know, we canceled South by this week. There are a lot of people that are hurting because of that. Now is the time that we should be going to restaurants, going to clubs, buying musicians, merchandise, helping one another.

16:48 We want to make sure that everybody knows it's still safe and a wonderful thing to stand with Austin, to eat with Austin, to take ride shares with Austin, and to go see local bands with Austin. So y'all get out and enjoy yourselves. Go to the bars, go to the clubs, listen to the music. your waiters, tip your bartenders, and if you want to, you can make a contribution at the Austin Community Foundation, and that's austincf.org. You can make a contribution to help those people who are hit the hardest by this and are the least likely to be able to come out of it. Stand with Austin!

17:28 They're drinking shots. So how does this jive with that speech he gave when he canceled South by Southwest? It's like, oh, you know, it's emergency, health emergency, but people go out and party! It's like, I don't see how that works. Doesn't. It's very... It's a douchebag. Yes. NPR had a good short piece on the bill which I'd like to just dive into briefly but they set it up with this 8.3 billion dollars. Interestingly it's the largest of its kind. 8.3 billion sounds like a lot. How is it helpful here?

CHAPTER 06 / 40 Discussion

Federal Spending Breakdown, NGO Funding

The $8.3 billion federal response bill significantly exceeds initial White House requests and includes $2.2 billion for the Department of Health and Human Services. Specific allocations include $10 million for Dr. Anthony Fauci’s group and $3.1 billion for vaccine development and manufacturing capacity. Concerns are raised regarding the "fuzzy" language of the bill, which allows for the hiring of non-government employees and the renovation of non-federal facilities.

department of health and human services· cdc· anthony fauci· federal budget· vaccines

18:10 It really is actually a lot. There are some figures for comparison here. 5.4 billion for the Ebola response in 2014, nearly 7 billion for H1N1 in 2009. So this is many millions of dollars more than Congress put towards those efforts. One important point, this is quite a turnaround for the Trump administration. Just last week, they requested only 1.25 billion in new funding, they wanted to move money around to get to $2.5 billion, and they defended that figure as members of Congress from both sides of the aisle said this really seems like a low ball. The president did say last week he was open to more, and that is what he got, $8.3 billion, more than three times that initial ask.

18:57 to which the president said, oh, you ate? Okay, I'll take it. So this is the, as I said, the Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act. What this is, is a division of that $8.3 billion. And the main takeaway from this is it's incredibly fuzzy as to what this can be used for. But in general, it is for preparedness, actually I'll read it verbatim. Let's start first with some of the chunks of money which are really ill-defined do require an additional designation by Congress before it can be used and that's kind of peppered throughout this thing so there's still some some power strings because this is so obvious

19:47 You know, the president didn't see a need for a lot of money. Chuck Schumer jumped in and every and this is so typical of Washington, D.C. Everybody jumps in. They've all got their, oh, I need some money. I need some money over here, for instance. An additional amount for the disaster loans program account for administrative expenses to carry out the disaster loan program for the Small Business Act, $20 million goes there. And the amounts will be maybe transferred to and merged in salaries and expenses. So, you know, we're going to go hire some people.

20:24 Then we have the Department of Health and Human Services, 2.2 billion dollars, and this is what it's for. To prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus domestically or internationally. That's it. Is there any obvious pork? Well, it's just a giveaway. Well, the pork is the giveaway So underneath the this 2.2 billion this and of course I was looking for some keywords This will be Will be made available to quote carry out surveillance That's all it says, you know, and I guess that can be monitoring people but surveillance is pretty specific

21:06 I think, so I don't know, it's not specified anywhere else. Also for communications, preparedness, and then we have that $475,000. The real pork is in there. Funds may be used, I think this is Secretary of, no this is CDC, for purchase and insurance of official motor vehicles in foreign countries. I guess we need that $5 million. We're going to go on a car shopping spree. $10 million goes to Fauci's group there, you know, Dr. Fauci. Thanks, bros. Oh yeah, he gets some communications money.

21:50 There is 3.1 billion dollars made available for countermeasures and vaccines prioritizing platform-based technologies with US-based manufacturing capabilities and the purchase of vaccines. So I think that will be used to build up some manufacturing capacity. That's one of the president's favorite little moves there. Further, provided funds appropriated under in this act may be used for grants for the construction, alteration, or renovation of non-federally owned facilities to improve preparedness and response capability." So that just sounds like we're going to give it to certain favored organizations or manufacturers. Yeah, gussy up your building.

22:39 Also, in many cases it says here they might be hiring people but be known that such individuals may not be deemed employees of the United States. So we're going to hire... What does that mean? Well, it says for the purposes of... Any law administered by the Office of Personnel and Management, I guess they're just saying we're gonna be hiring foreigners or shelling out money in foreigners lands. Well, it doesn't really imply foreigners, it just says there's not gonna be employees of the United States. They're not working for the government. This means there's gonna be a bunch of money going to NGOs, I think. Oh yeah.

CHAPTER 07 / 40 Discussion

State Department Diplomatic Programs, CIA Black Budget

The Coronavirus Preparedness Act allocates $264 million to State Department diplomatic programs and $435 million for global health initiatives. Critics point to suspicious line items that allow funds to be merged with consular and border security programs or transferred to "overseas contingency operations" related to the global war on terrorism. These provisions are characterized as a potential "black budget" for intelligence agencies to siphon emergency virus funding.

state department· homeland security· cia· global war on terrorism· consular operations

23:18 Department of State for quote diplomatic programs $264 million. What's diplomatic programs got to do with the virus? Well let me read the... Don't they already have money for that? Diplomatic programs $264 million for necessary expenses to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus, including for maintaining consular operations Okay, well that makes we're gonna Wow, but still if everybody in the council dies, they got to put in a skeleton crew that cost money Here's my favorite. Actually, let me play this second clip from NPR first. So another big pot of money in here 950 million will go to the state and local public health response through CDC and as you say half of that

24:06 That has to go or be allocated in 30 days. That's really, really fast. And what the money will be used for at this point in the epidemic is things like health departments staffing up to work 24-7, laboratories buying equipment and paying staff overtime, and investments in data to be able to properly do surveillance. I love how they don't blink an eye, bat an eye at that. Everybody wants to buy a mass spec. That would be the key. Exactly. Global health programs. This is for State Department will receive four hundred and thirty five million dollars for the same expenses for necessary expenses to prevent, prepare for and respond to coronavirus. Then

24:55 Funds appropriated by this title, and this is for Homeland Security I believe. No, this is still state. Anything under the heading diplomatic programs may be transferred to and merged with funds available under the consular and border security programs. And I'm thinking maybe there's some wall money in there that Trump tried to hide, but this is my favorite. Administration of foreign affairs diplomatic programs of the Department of State foreign operations and related programs appropriations. Well we all know what that is. CIA. CIA black budget, exactly. Why do those guys have to get some of that money? Those guys know how to scam money from everyone. Then they have an additional security protection not to exceed a hundred million dollars. Let me see. New cars for this. Here we go. New cars.

25:49 Amounts transferred by Congress for overseas contingency operations slash global war on terrorism. I mean, come on. It's like everyone's just taking money. They're just stealing little bits and pieces. Oh, I think I'll grab this. This is a nice little bit. Yeah, nice work if you can get it. Now, one other important designation in this this act is the you know, they just they just they have the term coronavirus So what do you believe the the legal term for coronavirus should be in this document? I think it's to be specific to the kovat 19. Yeah, but that's not what it is. It's SARS dash Cov dash 2

CHAPTER 08 / 40 Discussion

SARS-CoV-2 Nomenclature, 30-Day Spending Window

Military and scientific entities at Fort Detrick refer to the virus as SARS-CoV-2 rather than COVID-19, highlighting its similarity to the original SARS virus. The 30-day window for federal fund allocation suggests the crisis may be politically or financially managed to conclude by early April. Observers note the disconnect between official emergency declarations and the casual behavior of local politicians once funding is secured.

sars-cov-2· covid-19· fort detrick· nomenclature· army

26:39 Yes, this is what by the way, I sent you that clip of those the army and their little group of guy from Fort Detrick and a bunch of other I would say creepy people. Mm-hmm, but very knowledgeable They all called it that that's what all the army calls. Yeah, call it SARS Corona too. Yeah, because it's extremely similar to Kuro SARS Corona one Yeah. And I don't understand why did we have to have a COVID-19 then? This is odd. When I first heard this SARS-CoV-2, which is the designator that's used by these guys, I thought to myself that well this is, you know, it's Army so you know they're always very good about finding the

27:24 with the right title and making it sound militarized. I felt exactly the same way. What was all this rigmarole, this falderal about COVID-19 when it's really SARS-CoV-2? It's the SARS virus. Now of course the rumor mill and the internet has it as it's SARS that's been injected with HIV. And so you keep hearing that. I don't know that there's any evidence of that, the, because it's all bullcrap it sounds to me. Well, but I think it's just SARS too. Well here's the prediction I make and I think it's a fairly good one. This was signed on Friday the 6th so by April 6th this should all be over. 30 days from now it's all done. Everyone has their money. We know it has to be spent. The important money has to be spent. Here,

28:19 Adler within hours is already acting like it's party time. I mean, so transparent and obvious. That's a great point. First he cancels the event. It should be a sad time. But no, now he's out partying. And everybody else come out and party. Doing shots you say? Woohoo! Oh yeah! We're doing shots! Yeah, the three of them do a shot at the end of the video. And meanwhile, the actual information is just never really brought to the top of the stack. We are still... I'm sorry, I should say who this is. This is Admiral Brett Giroir. He is the Assistant Secretary for Health and Human Services. We are still very early in understanding and all the evidence isn't there. So I want to caveat that.

Admiral Brett Giroir, Assistant Secretary for Health and Human Services, provides a caveat regarding early COVID-19 data, estimating a mortality rate between 0.1% and 1%. This figure is significantly lower than previous "expert" predictions of 3.5% or millions of deaths, which Giroir attributes to a "denominator problem" where mild cases go untested. The shift in data coincides with the release of federal emergency funding.

29:07 But to set some foundation, the typical mortality... He wants the caveat, dad. Wow, what a usage. What are you supposed to say? I would like to add a caveat. A caveat is a noun. I would like to add a caveat. You don't caveat something. It's turning it into a verb. Give me a break. I mean, that is classic. He's trying to do a Google move, turning a noun into a verb. I got it. We are still very early in understanding and all the evidence isn't there, so I want to caveat that.

29:46 But to set some foundation, the typical mortality rate for seasonal flu is about 0.1% or 0.15%. The best estimates now of the overall mortality rate for COVID-19 is somewhere between 0.1% and 1%, okay? That's lower than you heard probably in many reports. Why is this? Number one is because many people don't get sick and don't get tested. So probably for, and this reflects the overseas experience, so probably for every case there are at least two or three cases that are not in the denominator. So I just want to sort of scale that, that it certainly could be higher than normal fluid probably is, but it's not.

30:37 likely in the range of 2 to 3%. So our best modeling, again, you have a denominator problem and I want you to understand that, that only the people who are really sick or have symptoms come in and get tested. So based on the models we have right now, we estimate the mortality as 0.1 to 1%. Yeah, of course no one wants to look at their models because that's only good for climate change. Yeah, models. Now the last show... I believe it was the last show. I had, or the show before, I had a clip, two clips in a row to point out the idiocy of this whole thing, which one guy says, it's three and a half percent. Oh yeah, the Harvard professor, the expert. And then, no, then the expert came out, well he, first it was somebody else said three and a half percent, then the expert came out using that data and his own data, the expert, who predicted by the calculations, by the numbers he used throughout, we calculated it,

31:36 10 million dead. Yeah. Now, they get this money, all this money shows up, a bunch of free money, and now we go from the 3.5 and 10 million dead to well, you know, it's kind of maybe worse than the flu. A lot of people have it. They don't report it. 30 days, John. 30 days. 30 days and it's all over. It'll all be over. In fact, on MSNBC, they're already done with the death and destruction part. They're moving straight on to politicization. And this is that Princeton professor, Eddie Glaude, real smug prick. But I was thinking about this in terms of politics, right? Right. That's how professors at Princeton talk, right? But I was thinking about this in terms of politics, right? We talked about the business community finally not kind of sticking with Donald Trump.

CHAPTER 10 / 40 Discussion

Nicole Wallace, Donald Trump Katrina Comparison

MSNBC commentator Nicole Wallace and Princeton professor Eddie Glaude discuss the potential for the coronavirus to become Donald Trump's "Katrina moment." Wallace, a former Bush administration official, compares the current response to past political failures like the Harriet Miers Supreme Court nomination. The rhetoric focuses on the potential for the crisis to erode Trump's base by framing the situation as a threat to vulnerable populations.

nicole wallace· msnbc· donald trump· katrina· harriet miers

32:30 But this may be, and you know, Nicole, I should mention this with a little trepidation, but this may be Donald Trump's Katrina. Yeah, you can't do it. My role in that. I mean, let's just lean into that for a minute. Hey, let's just lean into that for a minute. We got to talk like that. Let's just lean into that topic for a minute. My role in that. I mean, let's just lean into that for a minute. I mean Katrina was the moment when all the things that felt incredibly incompetent about the Bush presidency, the appointment of Harriet Meyers to the Supreme Court, the botched attempt to pass social security privatization. I mean I lived it. I came through the whole thing. Hold on, stop. She just can't sit there and lie like that. She was in the Bush administration. She did, she was in the press office.

33:17 So she's quoting her own administration here, Nicole Wallace. Harriet Meyers was not put on the Supreme Court as we know. It was a suggestion that floated around and nobody took it seriously. Okay, let her continue. I'm sorry. She's a horrible person, this woman. That's why I bring her up. Botched attempt to pass Social Security Privacy. I mean, I lived it. I can go through the whole list. were realized. We gave them a proof point that we were indeed incompetent and also people died. I mean this has them making structurally for the same kind of moment. If there's any a moment that would shake that 40%

33:58 The folks who would allow him to shoot someone and write down... If there's any a moment, it's this one. Because it's babies. It's friends. It's loved ones. It's old people in nursing homes that can't have their daughters. Do you hear what this a-hole is doing? It's like, this is different because it's babies that'll be dying. Babies will be dying! Orange man, kill babies! It's this one. Because it's babies. Hey Bill, look at all this toilet paper we've got. It's your Nana. Right? And so it seems to me that this is an event that could take down a president. Oh yes, it could take down a president, this event. Mm-hmm. So I think everyone's kind of getting over it. The clock is ticking down 30 days and we're good to go. And you can wait for the you. I'll take the banker's advice on the V.

CHAPTER 11 / 40 Discussion

Toilet Paper Shortages, Tissue World Trade Show

Supply chain insiders report that retailer warehouses for toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and bleach are essentially empty nationwide. Despite the panic buying, manufacturers are unsure if demand will plummet in April as consumers work through their stockpiles. Due to corporate travel restrictions, many industry professionals are withdrawing from "Tissue World," the premier trade show for the paper towel and toilet paper industry.

toilet paper· supply chain· cincinnati· tissue world· shortages

34:54 Yeah, good. A note from Black Knight of Seven Hills, Cincinnati. Adam and John listening to the show had some intel to share. First you mentioned toilet paper shortages. Yes, particularly, by the way, I went to Central Market yesterday and I saw people in the parking lot with their trolleys filled with toilet paper. And it was super busy. There was no shortage inside. But however, it may be different on the West Coast. As our producer says, yes, particularly on the West Coast, but in general in the US, retailer inventories of toilet paper are critically low. I'm being told... Well, wait, he has standing here. Hold on. I'm being told the retailer warehouses are essentially empty. I work in the consumer supply chain and we're being told that toilet paper, hand sanitizer and bleach are essentially out of stock nationwide.

35:47 We're making paper as fast as we can and are unsure if we should expect a huge drop off in April as people work off the... Yes, exactly. Yes. Or if people will use more because they have so much and demand will just level off. So we're preparing for both possibilities. But you don't use more toilet paper because you have so much. Hey, Bill, look at all this toilet paper we've got. Yeah, I'm going to wipe myself and wipe myself for no good reason. This is nonsense. Hey man, he's one of our producers, so go easy on him. This is probably management. Management that's saying this. All right. Further, my wife and I work at... I'm sorry for our producer that said that. Yeah, man. I just don't imagine people, we've got more toilet paper, so let's use more toilet paper. Okay. Well, I don't know. How about this? If

36:43 If coronavirus is over, and so within 30 days, and everyone's got gobs of toilet paper, then I can see what people like, hey we're not dead, and yeah, and wipe some more. I don't know, maybe. It's possible. Further, my wife and I work in major Cincinnati-based companies in consumer goods and groceries, and in the Social Justice Warrior Times, they cannot be seen as putting the employees at risk. Therefore, although travel isn't technically banned, we are being encouraged to not travel. To that end, we've elected not to participate in Tissue World.

37:22 The paper industry trade show for toilet paper and paper towels. This is a show I would like to go see. Wow! Can you imagine a trade show for just toilet paper and paper towels? Wow! That is unimaginable. There may be some great innovation that we don't know about. You know, you see, maybe they have, you know, The shells, was it the shells or the rocks, the pebbles? I can't remember. I have no idea what it could be. This would be, you're right, this would be a show just worth going to just to go to it. Yeah. Thank you very much, Black Knight of the Seven Hills, Cincinnati. Yeah, I got a kick out of it. Thank you, Black Knight. Let's use more toilet paper because we've got more toilet paper.

Jack Dorsey Africa Plans, UN Pandemic Bonds

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey reevaluates his plans to move to Africa temporarily due to the global virus outbreak. Meanwhile, the United Nations refuses to officially declare a pandemic, a move seen as a strategy to avoid triggering "pandemic bonds." While Secretary Alex Azar initially focused on domestic spending, Congress added over $1 billion to the federal bill for international response efforts.

jack dorsey· africa· united nations· pandemic bonds· alex azar

38:10 Let me see what else we have. Oh, um, no, let's skip that. Jack Dorsey is rethinking his plan of living in Africa amid the coronavirus outbreak, which we might want to note again is not in Africa. Although Uganda has, what did Uganda do? Uganda cancels all international conferences, issues travel ban. Lombardy now In Italy a little north of where my sister willow lives they now they're on lockdown And another one of those Illuminati Illuminati numbers 11 million people just like Wuhan 11 million people are shut in lockdown So we'll see how that goes Mr. Jack Dorsey mm-hmm with his Taliban beard

39:01 He's going to rush off to Africa because he's afraid of the... What is wrong with these people? No, no, no. He was going... He had this plan to, you know, to move like a, I think, a second headquarters or something. He wanted to do something in Africa because his Swami told him to. I don't know. And now he's rethinking that. Isn't that what we used to have? Swamis? Yeah, back in the 70s. He probably has a swami. I bet he does. I bet he does. United Nations, I'm just doing it reading through the headlines, United Nations refuses to call coronavirus outbreak a pandemic. So we know that's still based upon the

39:44 the pandemic bonds which they don't want to trigger and I think they won't be triggered because now the US that one thing Donald Trump is always bitching about that we're the ones ponying up here we are not the bondholders not Germany not Japan no no we're gonna pay for it because we got a more than a billion dollars going overseas More than that actually, and I want to see back that in NPR interview and to be clear Is this all domestic spending or is there any money being offered to other countries that are dealing with the outbreak? Yes So this is interesting the Trump White House did not request any funding for an international response the head of the coronavirus task force and Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar actually told Congress they were focusing on the homeland

40:28 But Congress in this law did include over a billion dollars for the international response. And that could be used, for instance, to help low and middle income countries shore up their resources to be able to contain or mitigate outbreaks. Experts I talked to were really pleased and quite actually relieved to see this funding in there. It's shameful. There was a pandemic preparedness fund funded fully ready to go. All the World Health Organization has to do is say yeah, yeah It's at that level and I think the numbers are there because it's specific numbers But no, no, we'll pay for it. Don't worry about it. This jackass is in Congress, man It really is If you're on the other side of the fence getting all this free money, you wouldn't be bitching and moaning, you know It's interesting you say that

Hillary Clinton Hulu Documentary

A new four-hour documentary on Hillary Clinton premieres on Hulu, portraying her early career as a genuine fighter for women's rights. Viewers note the film is expertly produced to avoid mentions of corruption, though the narrative may shift in later hours. The timing of the release is viewed as a strategic move to bolster her image during the 2020 primary season.

hillary clinton· hulu· documentary· bill clinton· film

41:22 Because you know of course power and money corrupts. I started watching the long touted and perfectly timed Hillary Clinton documentary on Hulu. And it's four hours. So I've only watched the first hour and I must say that whole first hour You can't help but be a fan of Hillary Clinton in that moment because she seems like such a genuine person, a true fighter for women, very daring. Good work people, good work. She did a lot. No, it is extremely well done. You do not get even a slight whiff of the corruption. Something bad happened to her.

42:05 You have to... yeah, Bill. Yes, I think you're right. I think it is exactly what happened. Now, you have to watch all four hours now that you watched the first hour. Oh, of course, of course. Have you seen any of them? Because it's possible that they... I don't... you know, if it's... You sometimes you can blow your you can blow it you can do what you just described is like wow This is great. I'd vote for her She's the best and then after a while starts to wear on you and after four hours, maybe I don't know It's I don't care for it's possible that they can't sustain that if they can sustain that feeling that you achieved and was in the one-hour period As a filmmaker and they can do that for four hours Wow. Yeah, they can run her but

42:49 Well, okay. So again, this was incredibly well-timed. We have just the perfect, and I'm sure you have some Biden stuff, but we have the perfect potential. But before we go switch gears completely, I do want to run the total update. I wanted to play some Hillary stuff. The total update on COVID-19. Oh, you still have that? Is it really worth it? Is it more than I just did? It will add? No, it's totally in a different dimension. The food and drug. What you just did is actually something reasonable. This is just the COVID is going to kill us all, continued, but it's kind of backing off a little bit. This is the mainstream media, VF PBS on Saturday with

FDA Test Kit Expansion, Grand Princess Cruise

Vice President Mike Pence announces the expansion of COVID-19 test kit distribution to commercial labs across the United States. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo declares a state of emergency as confirmed cases rise, while the Grand Princess cruise ship remains quarantined off the California coast. International reports highlight rising death tolls in Italy and Iran, including the death of an Iranian Member of Parliament.

42:05 You have to... yeah, Bill. Yes, I think you're right. I think it is exactly what happened. Now, you have to watch all four hours now that you watched the first hour. Oh, of course, of course. Have you seen any of them? Because it's possible that they... I don't... you know, if it's... You sometimes you can blow your you can blow it you can do what you just described is like wow This is great. I'd vote for her She's the best and then after a while starts to wear on you and after four hours, maybe I don't know It's I don't care for it's possible that they can't sustain that if they can sustain that feeling that you achieved and was in the one-hour period As a filmmaker and they can do that for four hours Wow. Yeah, they can run her but

42:49 Well, okay. So again, this was incredibly well-timed. We have just the perfect, and I'm sure you have some Biden stuff, but we have the perfect potential. But before we go switch gears completely, I do want to run the total update. I wanted to play some Hillary stuff. The total update on COVID-19. Oh, you still have that? Is it really worth it? Is it more than I just did? It will add? No, it's totally in a different dimension. The food and drug. What you just did is actually something reasonable. This is just the COVID is going to kill us all, continued, but it's kind of backing off a little bit. This is the mainstream media, VF PBS on Saturday with

43:32 Hari Sreenivasan reporting and it's a lot different than what you gave us. I mean, it's not better. The Food and Drug Administration is rapidly expanding the distribution of test kits to detect cases of the new coronavirus across the country. Vice President Mike Pence made the announcement in Florida today at a briefing with health officials. At the present moment we've just- Now was this before the bill was signed or you don't know? No, this is yesterday. Oh, okay. More than 1 million tests and in cooperation with those same commercial labs that I mentioned, will be expanding access to tests in the weeks ahead to every American. Even with more kits, there are concerns about the capacity of different states to test people as the number of cases increase, how that data will be gathered and reported.

44:22 There are nearly 400 total confirmed cases in the U.S., according to Johns Hopkins University, which is tracking this spread globally. Florida officials reported two deaths from COVID-19. Both people who died were elderly. That brings the total number of deaths in the U.S. to 19. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo declared a state of emergency after 21 new confirmed cases today. We have now been also going after the money, testing around the clock, as you know. We are aggressively testing following up leads because we want to find as many people who test positive so we can get them out of circulation. That's a great concept. I'm sorry Mr. Curry you've been taken out of circulation. And as many people who test positive so we can get them out of circulation.

45:13 The Grand Princess cruise ship remains off the coast of Northern California, with its 21 confirmed cases of the virus, among the more than 3,500 people on board. As of this afternoon, officials have not said when or where the ship will be allowed to dock. In Egypt, a cruise ship on the Nile River with 100 foreign tourists is in quarantine in the city of Luxor. Thirty-three people have tested positive for COVID-19 on that ship. In southeastern China, a hotel collapsed today, trapping about 70 people. Officials say the hotel was being used to quarantine people who had contact with COVID-19 patients. Is this just intended to raise the blood pressure of their audience? I mean, it's like just going down a list of all this, oh, oh, not more than a herb, a herb, a herb. Italy reported its biggest daily increase in virus cases. What?

46:06 I say, as you say that, it continues. Infections now total more than 5,800 people and 36 people have died there from the virus in the past 24 hours. In Iran, 21 people have died from the virus just since yesterday, one of them a member of parliament. The number of confirmed cases in Iran is also more than 5,800 people. U.S. health officials continue to caution that the immediate risk of being exposed remains low and that the majority of people who contract COVID-19 will have flu-like symptoms and will recover. Wow, thanks for putting some actual info at the very end. Oh my goodness. All right, I'm closing the door on this sucker. When I step up in China, yo, I step correct. Wuhan! Wuhan! From the North China Plain all the way to Quebec, Wuhan! Wuhan!

Hillary Clinton on Jimmy Fallon, Russia and Iran Claims

Hillary Clinton appears on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to endorse Joe Biden's "decency" and experience. During the interview, she repeats claims of Russian interference and introduces a new allegation that Iran attempted to interfere in the Democratic primary. Clinton also criticizes Facebook for allowing what she terms "false information" and "lies" from the Trump campaign to remain on the platform.

hillary clinton· jimmy fallon· joe biden· facebook· russia

46:57 All right, back to Hillary for a moment. The woman does fascinate. So just the release date of this documentary, it is all about her running for president, from what I can tell. And of course, she's doing the rounds and she showed up on Fallon. And of course, we needed to talk about the current 2020 candidates in the primary for the Democrats and it's always interesting to check in and see what HRC is thinking. What do you think of that? Look, I thought it was very exciting because starting in South Carolina he had so much energy and what he had to say was really enthusiastic and positive about what he was going to do and who he was.

47:50 And the people of South Carolina obviously rewarded that. And then that kind of set off this momentum and it carried him. He won all but I guess three states. Yeah. Why do you think people connect with Joe Biden? You know, look, I've known him for a really long time. I think people know he is a deeply decent person. He is a kind person. He doesn't take cheap shots at people, he doesn't insult people as a way of trying to put people down and lift himself up. He is such the opposite of what we currently have in the White House that I really think a lot of people...

48:32 had a chance to think about it as this contest got going and decided, boy, the most important thing is we retire the incumbent. That's more important than anything else. And he has the experience. He knows what needs to be done. He can repair the damage that he would be inheriting. So I think that's what was going on in people's minds. Hillary is clearly talking about herself here. She doesn't believe a word of that when it comes to Joe Biden. And she does her disgusting Russia dance one more time. The candidates also have to be willing to admit Russia interfered last time, they're interfering this time. We know that, even the Trump administration has to admit that. So the propaganda... It's just not true. Wait a minute, did I miss something?

49:21 Did we not miss that that was overstated and it was what the actual intelligence report said was that Russia wouldn't mind if Trump was re-elected so that they could, they felt they could deal with him? Wasn't that the actual intelligence reporting? Putin's calling the shots, man. The Trump administration has to admit that. So the propaganda, the lies, the disinformation, the theft of information and all of that that went on last time is going to be back. And so it's not only the candidates, although they have to be prepared to take it on, but voters need to be aware of all that. What advice do you have to the voters? Oh, OK. Hello, stupid people of America. Your queen now tells you what to do.

50:08 Really pay attention. Don't get fooled by the propaganda. Just because something pops up in your Facebook feed, don't think it's true. I'm really very sad that Facebook has said we're not going to take down false information. Candidates, and particularly Trump, is doing this. You can pay to put lies on Facebook and that's really slickly. Whoa, whoa. Is there a portal for that? Is there a dashboard I can go to where I can put lies on Facebook? Particularly Trump is doing this you can pay to put lies on Facebook, and that's really slickly produced people think it's true Really be skeptical about what's coming in that Facebook feed or really any kind of social media information that you get because so much of it is Manipulated you don't know where it's coming from I was gonna say is it from you think is there other people besides Russia is it other countries? Well we we know from the intelligence that's been shared that

51:09 Iran tried to mess with the primary. Did I miss another report? Iran tried to mess with the primary. They did? She says we know. Which primary? I don't know. What is she? Is she still read in to everything? Is she top secret? I mean, I guess she has clearance. I don't know. But this one was new to me. The intelligence that's been shared that Iran tried to mess with the primary. But if you were a foreign adversary of ours or if you just wanted to mess around with us, why wouldn't you try? Because it worked last time. So, hey, get in there and try to pretend you're for somebody else or pretend you're a certain kind of citizen and you have a certain set of beliefs and you try to gin something up. So yeah, I think all of that's going to go on and is going on as we speak. Oh, thank you, Hillary, for our intel update. Luckily,

CHAPTER 16 / 40 Discussion

Amy Klobuchar Vice Presidential Gaffe

Amy Klobuchar appears to commit a verbal gaffe by referring to "joining the Biden ticket" before quickly correcting herself to say "Biden campaign." This slip is interpreted as a potential "trial balloon" or evidence of a backroom deal made when she withdrew from the race. Speculation suggests the Democratic establishment may have offered her the Vice Presidency in exchange for her early endorsement of Joe Biden.

amy klobuchar· joe biden· vice president· gaffe· trial balloon

52:05 over at the Hulu premiere, someone actually asked the question that would be on my mind. Because the most important thing for our country, not just for the Democrats, all Americans, is to defeat Donald Trump. That's what I'm going to be working toward. And Joe Biden had a big night last night. Would you consider being his VP if he asked? Oh, I'm not even thinking about that. I was very pleased that we had a huge turnout. People really are focused on beating Trump. And that's what they should be focused on interesting how she answers the question by saying I'm not really thinking about that well Well, why do you say that? Because she could have just said no she always has to leave it in the middle and we all know we all know that No, we all know said no. She could have just said no But of course we got a clue a clue from Amy Klobuchar. That is a sign that is a sign of

53:04 Lying, of course once the simplest thing you do is you say no or you just say Iran. I don't know. It's fine They got new technology over there So this is the clip I found the clip of Amy Klobuchar apparently gaffing out by saying that she was happy to join the Biden tickets and Now I'd like to let you for finding this because I could not find this clip. Oh, yeah Well, it irritated me whenever I see an article and there's you know It states something with quotes and there's just a picture I go looking. Yeah, I would look into but then I said about halfway through I said wait a minute This is so this is out. There's so much Adam will start looking and he'll find it. I'm done and I said that day

53:53 I could not think of a better way to end my candidacy as hard as that was to do with our beloved staff and everyone else, then to join the Joe Biden. Then to join I'm sorry, you're misgendering us. No, no, you can't say guys as women here too.

54:36 I was going to say, guys, I was going to say that to join the terrific, the terrific, terrific campaign of Joe Biden. What do you think? Trial balloon? Actual market. Yeah, trial balloon test marketing. No, I think she was given the opportunity and I mean, my pick is Grisham from New Mexico as vice president, but which the former New York banker likes that idea, by the way. It's a very good idea. Yeah, he liked it. And but this is a it's a possibility that the Democrats, Biden's got nothing to do with it. He doesn't know what room he's in.

55:23 Somebody went up to Amy and said, look, you got a bailout. We'll give you the vice presidency. And Joe's probably not long for this world. So you think that she got it? You really think that they asked her? The reason that when she did the gaffe, She goes, I did ticket and then she instead of saying is she would if she was like, oh, I gave it away or it was a gap or it was actually a gap. She would have said, oh, yeah, Joe, I didn't join the ticket. But believe me, I would if I was given the opportunity because that's how much I like this guy, Joe Biden. Right. She would have she wouldn't have gotten so flustered.

56:01 Because it's probably a lot of this is based on confidentiality agreements and all the rest and she can't say anything Yeah, so I think that they've offered it to her. Hmm On a contingency basis. She may have blown it right there. That's why she was so nervous Yes, she got all flustered because oh my god now they're gonna take it away from me We did get a quote from her after after that gaffe here. She is Don't eat me, Bojied and your sister So I think yeah, it's a possibility and that would of course it takes Grisham out of the picture and it it would explain why Amy just bailed so quickly and left the war and it hang and hang in the hanging You know out the hung out the dry as a yeah. Yeah, and she doesn't know what she's beside herself now Warren is because she can't

UAW Chief Gary Jones Indictment, Bernie Sanders Smear

Former United Auto Workers (UAW) chief Gary Jones is indicted for conspiring to embezzle over $1 million in union funds for luxury items, including custom golf clubs and horseback riding. The timing of the indictment, just days before the Michigan primary, is viewed as a strategic move to damage Bernie Sanders, who holds a UAW endorsement. The detailed list of "elitist" expenses is framed as a way to alienate rank-and-file workers from socialist candidates.

united auto workers· uaw· gary jones· bernie sanders· embezzlement

56:52 Because the party's on her case too. There's just people over there saying to her let's face it You can't no no you can't you can't endorse Bert Bernie. Here's the thing he's not even a member of the party you Understand and by the way you and him got into this beef. Do you remember that he called you a liar? And all the rest and you so you have a good excuse not to endorse him throw it to Joe Who do you think has the better relationship with the unions is that I? Should be Bernie I would presume, right? There's no evidence of this. Biden is old school Democrat, old union guy. I'll tell you why I asked. I'm talking about big unions. Yeah, I'm talking United Auto Workers. Is that big?

57:39 It's as big as it is, yes. One of the biggest. I've been a member twice, I might add. So here's my question. I find it incredibly coincidental that after five years, five years they've been working on this case, just four days, with a weekend, four days before the primary in Michigan, We have this story. The United States of... Michigan, of course, Detroit, Michigan, Motor City. The United States of America is charging Mr. Jones with one count of conspiracy to embezzle union funds and conspiracy to aid racketeering activity. This is the former United Auto Workers chief.

58:22 who has been indicted for these horrible crimes. Listen to them. In one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States by failing to pay taxes on over $1 million that he and his cohort stole from the UAW. The allegations are that in connection with his UAW roles, Mr. Jones conspired with other UAW officials to steal over $1 million in UAW money and property. Instead of that cash and property going to help the men and women of the union, Mr. Jones spent it on his own personal enjoyment and on the whims of other high-ranking union officials. Mr. Jones, together with UAW officials Vance Pearson and Edward Robinson, spent UAW money on items that the workers of the union could scarcely afford.

59:13 These improper expenses were completely unrelated to union business, such as luxury condos and villas in California, lavish dinners at expensive restaurants, premium liquor, five sets of custom-made golf clubs specially designed by a golf pro, horseback riding on the beach. Now, there's a couple more in here. But yes, I found it here. The United Auto Workers endorse Bernie Sanders. So the way I read this is, this is Bernie Sanders. You really want this is the guy who works with these people. But these people is your unions you want. Oh, this is horrible. And look at what they're doing. They're there. And I love the specification of these horrible crimes.

1:00:02 Buy a Golf Pro, horseback riding on the beach. Over $100,000 in golf green fees, golf clothing, sunglasses, and tips for caddies. Over $60,000 in high-end cigars, humidors, and cigar paraphernalia. over $8,000 in spa treatments for UAW officials and their spouses and much much more I'm thinking we got to find us a union sounds like party. This is really a great clip They're doing this to screw Bernie. Well, let's let's let's analyze that for a moment. Okay, uh,

1:00:50 The golf, the emphasis on golf of course is a Trump. It's just like elitist Trump. Horseback riding on the beach, this is not what a union man would do. It's showing some effete. It would have been better if you said romantic horseback rides on the beach. This is part of the... it's kind of like a reverse smear to make Bernie an elitist. All these socialists, they want to take your money and they're going to use it for their own pleasure. And which is what you wanted, the kind of argument you want to sell people and to kill this idea of socialists being anything but assholes stealing your money. And then they, the ones, they're driving around in the big luxury cars and they're making you do all the work. And tips for caddies. And tips for caddies. And so this is really, and again, it would end a party that would be tight with a lot of dimensions are the

1:01:52 the upper echelons of the Democrats and that this would be the way to go. This is a fantastic clip and you're right, it's all about Bernie. It's all about embarrassing Bernie in some awkward way. Once they gave the endorsement to Bernie. There's no reason the UAW should endorse Bernie by the way. That I can tell. There's nothing connected to it. And when one of us has a really great clip and the other one appreciates it, what do we do? Well, what we do usually, but as you mentioned one time ago, that if somebody actually asks for it... Zij die vragen worden overgeslagen. If you ask, you get skipped. All right. You're mean. Give yourself the clip of the day. Thank you. Thank you. Everyone's calling for it, man.

CHAPTER 18 / 40 Discussion

David Brooks on Democratic Community Shift

New York Times columnist David Brooks analyzes the rapid shift of Democratic voters toward Joe Biden following the South Carolina primary. Brooks describes the movement as a "spontaneous" act of a community acting with common values, rather than a top-down establishment maneuver. He praises the "political selflessness" of candidates like Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar for consolidating the field against Bernie Sanders.

david brooks· pbs newshour· joe biden· south carolina· super tuesday

1:02:49 So I want to get back to this analysis of Biden. That was great, by the way. That was one of the best out of the blue things that these guys are when these guys, which I said, by the way, a month ago, when the Democrat elites decided that they don't want Bernie, then I get the Bernie's done. I mean, this just makes the thing they did with Hillary, where they just had a few memos about how to screw Bernie. This makes it look like that looks like Sunday school compared to what we're witnessing here. This is dynamite. This is real professional. It's high-end stuff. I mean, they got a high-end. We're getting rid of this guy. They got a US attorney to roll it out and with those words to really, you know, not just embezzled funds. No, no.

1:03:34 Let's really spell it out with these horrible Wrecks of human beings have done with your money. Yeah your money now we talked about Brooks on the PBS news are going on about how Bernie had the message and he was nobody could beat him and then well now this is another week goes by the next thing, you know Bernie's in the toilet and Biden the gaffe machine and I have a bunch of them. Yeah today. Yes So what it what is Brooks gonna say so this is his thing I'm explaining it He's kind of be baffled by he's always baffled this guy. He was baffled by Trump right to the end So let's go with Brooks on the Dems community shift

1:04:20 I've never seen anything like it. It was in the 48 hours after South Carolina, the polls were moving so fast, some pollsters were saying that polls that were 12 hours old were obsolete. And it was a spontaneous move by millions of people all around the country in different demographics. Spontaneous. Turning as one and reaching the same conclusion that it's got to be Joe Biden. and why they didn't do that six weeks ago or four weeks ago, I think first, Super Tuesday forced a decision on a lot of voters all at once. Second, you had an amazing act of political selflessness. Amy Klobuchar could have won Minnesota and it would have been a nice feather in her bonnet. And she said, no, I would be selfish. And Pete Buttigieg did the same. And so you had a party establishment, frankly, doing the right thing. But more important was the rank and file voters

1:05:11 who just, they looked at reality and like a community, a community is more than just a bunch of individuals. A community, people have common values, they sense each other's movements, and I really think the Democratic Party acted like a community, moving all in at one moment. A community. Now, a couple of things that are interesting that we're gonna witness as we continue on this married journey. The media has decided, since the media is part of the Democrat Party, they have decided to cover up Joe's gaffes.

CHAPTER 19 / 40 Discussion

Bloomberg Campaign Advertising Failure

Analysis of Michael Bloomberg's failed presidential bid suggests that massive advertising spending is ineffective in high-profile presidential campaigns due to the volume of free media. Despite spending $500 million, Bloomberg failed to gain significant traction, challenging the long-held belief that elections can be bought. This outcome complicates the Democratic narrative regarding the influence of "dark money" and the Citizens United ruling.

michael bloomberg· advertising· pbs· citizens united· campaign finance

1:05:46 Now I'm going to refer back to my essay that was linked in the newsletter a couple newsletters ago, which is that this is really all about the money because they've already given up. Maybe Biden could win, but who cares? We don't want to lose the money. They need the money for the down-ballot candidates. Yeah, all the down-ballot people. And they're going to lose it all if Bernie gets nominated. So they're going after him. And here's the funny, this is my favorite clip, which I think should be kept around. because, especially for your use. This is Brooks on Bloomberg Advertising. I want to play this with it in mind that the newspapers and magazines and everybody's always, you know, promoting the idea of how advertising works and how it works so well. And then we hear, of course, this is on PBS, so there's no advertisers involved. You probably would have not heard this analysis on any of the network stations.

1:06:39 Bloomberg, I started this thinking you can't buy your way in votes in a presidential election. There's too much free media. Good ads don't do it. And I think there's a lot of political science evidence to this that advertising, especially in a high profile campaign, just does not work. And Biden, Bloomberg did not help himself in the debate, but I don't think ads enough to get you votes. Well, hold on. Hold on a second. Does that, is that just television or is it all his Facebook and Instagram stuff? I don't know man, the Russians did pretty well with 110 grand. I gotta keep saying that. This blows people away. Yes, the Russians did great with 110 grand. And by the way, don't forget Citizens United and the Koch brothers. Yes! Oh my goodness. I mean, don't bring those guys into the conversation, Mr. Brooks. All the Democrats do is moan and groan and moan and groan about all this.

1:07:32 And the Citizens United and all the rest of it and they can't get it so they're they're conflicted with this very conflicted. Yeah, they can't drop you can't say that on TV. You can't say that advertising doesn't work. I'm amazed he's still alive. Now, which brings us to a side clip, which is the idiot, one of the members of the New York Times board. This is, this is, and I'm happy you're playing this. I clipped it too. This is, it is important to record this and have it in our show for future generations to enjoy.

CHAPTER 20 / 40 Discussion

Brian Williams and Mara Gay Math Error

MSNBC host Brian Williams and New York Times editorial board member Mara Gay face widespread ridicule for validating a tweet claiming Michael Bloomberg could have given every American $1 million with his $500 million ad budget. The actual math results in roughly $1.50 per person, representing a million-fold error. The segment is cited as an example of the lack of basic fact-checking and "sniff tests" within elite media circles.

brian williams· mara gay· msnbc· new york times· math error

1:08:15 She's talking with Brian Williams on MSNBC and this is what we hear. Wait, wait, let's just set up. It's Brian Williams, MSNBC. It is Mara Gay. Mara Gay. Yes, and they're... Right, but the tweet, the tweet itself is from Washington Post reporter. Somebody, I don't know who the guy is that did this tweet. No, no, it's a woman. Mckayte I think. She's got some funny name. I didn't get to look at her tweets because they're closed. Yeah but she's a WAPO reporter. So it's the trifecta. That's another dimension. It's NBC News, it's the New York Times, and it's the Washington Post. It perfectly shows the ministry of truthiness, and oh 2020. A billion bucks beating this guy, he could do it.

1:09:11 Absolutely. Somebody tweeted recently that actually with the money he spent he could have given every American a million dollars. I've got it. Let's put it up on the screen. When I read it tonight on social media it kind of all became clear. Bloomberg spent 500 million on ads, US population 327 million. Don't tell us if you're ahead of us on the math. He could have given each American $1 million and have had lunch money left over. It's an incredible way of putting it. It's an incredible way of putting it. It's true. It's disturbing. It does. It does suggest what we're talking about here, which is there's too much money in politics. My favorite is it's true. It's true. I'm a reporter. It's true. The dammit. I mean, Brian, Brian Williams is like we forgive him because that's part of his charm now.

1:10:07 So 300 million people times a million dollars, of course, is 300 billion, which is not what Bloomberg spent. He spent what they said, which is about 500 million. But to come up with the idea, it'd be about a buck and a half if somebody did the math, you know, it's easy enough to figure out. But they figured that it's the same as giving everybody one million dollars and this makes logic, first of all, to say that in the first place, you have to stop and think. You have to say, wait a minute, maybe my math is off here, because that doesn't sound right.

1:10:44 It doesn't sound right. This is a problem with these reporters. They can't stay at this. There's no sniff test for them. It doesn't sound right because it's not even close. You're off by a factor of 1 million. 1 million, this is not a small factor. This is not like a factor of 10. I've done that on the show. I've been off by a factor of 10. I made a math mistake and it's off by 10. It's not off by 1 million. And they play it straight and then somebody produced the tweet and put it on the screen. There's a director, there's cameramen, there's guys in the control booth. They're all over the place. And nobody says anything? I don't see why you're surprised. I'm not surprised at all. It's fantastic. I think Brian Williams should be on the talk show circuit. He should be on The View tomorrow talking about this. Yes!

1:11:38 Yes, but your point is well made and that is the milieu and the complete trust of other lib joes. They just trust each other just completely blanket. Carblanche you have with me! I have a letter from one of our readers who's in the... One of our readers? Readers. Well, he reads our newsletters. I have to find it because it's around here somewhere, but it also reiterates what somebody else said is... And this was regarding you and the sound guy, you know, the sound guy from... Oh, yes, yes, yes. He says somebody hates him. And... Bojied him? Somebody commented on Twitter, says somebody must really... somebody in the control room, because there's no way this could get through all those levels. Somebody must really hate Ryan Williams.

1:12:33 He maybe is a dick and this girl, this gay, what's her name, whatever her name is. She was so glib looking, oh yes, and she had this look of like That's unbelievable satisfaction. Because she had done math for the first time and liked the answer. That's it. She liked the answer. You're right. This is the New York Times epitomized. This is the epitome of what we're getting from the New York Times and the Washington Post and NBC. And I think the former New York banker is onto it as well. Well, it's about time. And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the circulation, you get taken out of God. In the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry, in the morning, our boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, feet in the air, subs in the water, and the dames and knights out there. Well done. Nailed it. In the morning to the trolls in the troll room at noagendastream.com. Let's take a quick look.

CHAPTER 21 / 40 Discussion

No Agenda Stream, Tribal Media Community

The hosts check in with the "trolls" on the No Agenda Stream, noting listeners from Ecuador, Canada, and across the United States. Following an appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, the show has seen an influx of new interest and support. The hosts define their platform as "tribal media," emphasizing a community of "seasoned research professionals" rather than a traditional broadcast audience.

no agenda stream· value for value· joe rogan· podcasting· community

1:13:35 We have, ooh nice, 1369. That's a lot of trolls there. Where y'all from trolls? Where you checking in from? This is at noagendastream.com where you can listen to lots of live programming. If it's not live then we're rolling out value for value podcasts. Go to noagendastream.com and here we go. Ecuador, Columbus, Ohio, Banger, Maine, Canada, yeah, Candinavia, Nevada, Chirac, Confederate California, California, West Slope of Colorado, Gitmo Lowlands. This is good. This is very good. Good to see you all, everybody.

1:14:16 Then I would like to thank our artists for episode 1222. This episode was the last one on Thursday, it was titled Booby Trap and the artwork was a nice piece and this was done by Comic Strip Blogger and this was the Democrat donkey symbol kicking as a donkey does a Bernie 2020 ball behind him or her or it. And it just and this was an older one wasn't this wasn't or was this no this from a week ago? We could go in the newsletters one of them I think the second time we've used a newsletter artwork for the show. I think it's only been done twice It's very special Well, I mean I saw it and it really epitomizes what's going on. It was very symbolic. It was very well done Well thought-out definitely a good piece. Thank you for that comic strip blogger. We have a

1:15:09 Many artists who contribute their value to the show by giving us fantastic artwork. It also shows up on hats and... T-shirts and hoodies and mugs at noagendashop.com and in general in our value for value system, I just want before we get to the executive producers, associate executive producers who were also obviously adding value to the show. I just wanted to say looking at how because I got a lot of extra email coming in after the Joe Rogan appearance. And it's so nice how everybody, I said it before, but everyone's like really, they've been promoting this. If you look at the YouTube comments, it's just every five comments, there's an in the morning, here's the URL, you gotta check out the podcast. You guys have, gals, hey guys and gals, you've done great. Guys and gals. Done a great job at promoting, and that's what you do. But also I wanted to thank everyone, over the years,

1:16:08 Art producers have gotten so sharp when it comes to spotting things that they think will be interesting for the show. Their eyes are really sharp on important topics. Really, it's like having our own network of intelligence analysts. I just want everyone to know. It's exactly what it is, by the way. Yes, seasoned research professionals. And it's so incredibly enjoyable and when I look at just other models, even you know what Joe's doing, I'm like we are so fortunate to have built this community. And yes, and I want to respond one more thing and then I'll shut up. We're not a cult, we're a tribe. And I was just thinking about it with Rogan said, well you guys like a cult. And my answer should have been, well either no different from your cult, but smarter would have been, yeah we're a tribe. This is tribal media that we're doing now.

Michael Bloomberg Rider, TV Production Secrets

An anonymous production insider reveals details of Michael Bloomberg’s speaking requirements, including a hidden eight-inch box for lecterns and pillows to ensure his feet touch the ground during interviews. The discussion transitions into "TV executive" insights, noting that a "big head" is a desirable trait for television ratings. Former tech journalist Natalie Del Conte is mentioned as an exception to this rule.

michael bloomberg· janet yellen· production rider· natalie del conte· big head theory

1:31:27 Was that just before they went on the air, they went for one last pee break and their lavalier transmitters got knocked into the toilet. How really? The audio guys did not have time to check levels on the replacement transmitters before they went on the air. Too funny not to be true. That explains it. It would explain it. Anyway, he drives, he's got a two hour and 15 minute drive each way. The Noah Jindal podcast is the ultimate driving companion for making the trip. One habit I've developed, which I need to break, is that every time I hear someone on the radio or TV say, look, I yell, look. Here's the deal.

1:32:10 I wanted to add to that, and I love those types of reports from technical crew are gold, I feel. It's gold. I mean, who would know that? I have one here. Anonymous producer who works for a production company in Manhattan does large corporate galas, fundraisers, and benefit dinners. Bloomberg has attended many of these events, and every time his height has been a problem. If he's speaking at a lectern, it must not be made of lucite or a clear material. See, this is Bloomberg's rider. His handlers have a specific box for him and they want it hidden while other people are speaking at the lectern. I do not have the exact dimensions of the box, but my guess is about eight inches tall.

1:32:55 When he's speaking at a fireside chat or in an interview setting, there must be a pillow on the chair to prop him forward so his feet touch the ground. These rules, by the way, also apply to Janet Yellen. Big fan. Thanks for everything you guys do. Ah, the secrets of TV and media being exposed right here before your very eyes. So we do. Yeah. I'd love that. I need a pillow so my feet touch the ground. That's worse than the box. That's worse than the box. That's horrible. What did our, what did our, um...

1:33:32 Robert want here for he don't eat me Bojiden Sharpton is the any karma or jobs? Yes, and a karma regular karma. No you wanted a Where is it? It was some special karma. It was it was a regular karma, but it was for some special reason Well now we have to know he had to put he put it right in the middle here. I The funny story episode... Oh, here it is. Uh, de-douche... We did that. We did that. Uh, birthday karma. That's it. Okay. Don't eat me, Bojied, and you're scary, so scary! R-E-S-P-I-C-T. I got ants. I got ants. You've got...

1:34:32 Karma. Consider myself the one that discovered her. Oh Okay, the monkey comes out of the sleeve again. It wasn't like a discovery. It was like she was they she was very Attractive she had the right size head. She had their dimples she had everything going on and They would have her do little reports from the office or some some bullshit some phony baloney thing But every time the camera hit her the camera loved her. Yeah, and she liked the camera and

1:35:27 And it was just like this relationship. You could see it between her and the camera. And as soon as I saw it once, I said, oh, if this girl wants to go into broadcast and she's got it made because it was just one of those things you don't see it that often where it's just a match made in heaven between a camera and a person who just has the eye to eye sparkle and everything with the camera. It's just funny thing to see and witness. But she was like top. top ten of that sort of person. Yes, and I'd like to expand when John says she has the right head. We are speaking as television executives in this case. You want a big head on television. Big heads are good for ratings. Look at Pat Sajak, look at Jay Leno. I mean, I don't have a big head, but I made my head big with hair and it worked very successful. Big heads equals ratings.

1:36:27 Yes, but the funny thing is Natalie Del Conte has a very small head. She also had to run away to Portugal, so let's be honest here. How is she by the way? Is she still out there? Is she still on the lam with her husband? Well, according to them, they're never on the lam. She has a blog and I check in on about once a month to see what they're up to and I have not, they've gone to radio silence. So I have no idea. Anyway, so that's your, some more insights. People actually do care about how the mechanism works. Broadcasting because they're mostly, it's all trickery. They're trying to fool the public.

Grimerica Show, Pussy Track Production Gaffe

Darren Grimes of the Grimerica show announces an upcoming interview with Jen Briney of Congressional Dish. A donation from David Alcock includes a humorous but crude story about naming audio tracks "dry" and "wet" pussy, leading to a critique of his production style. The hosts advise aspiring broadcasters to avoid forced "radio voices" and excessive profanity in their submissions.

1:37:14 Darren Grimes is next on the list, $202.02. And by the way, if you skipped the donation segment, you missed that story. Welcome JRE listeners to the best podcast in the universe. Be prepared to have your paradigm shattered or reinforced depending on which dimension you're in. Great job on JRE, Adam. And thank you for our shout out last show. Hopefully we can have you on the Grimerica show soon. Often described as the second best podcast in the universe. We'll be interviewing Jen Briney in a few good very good interesting She's a very good. She's another one. That's a kind of a natural now, but she's also your discovery no, no, I but she was discovered herself, but I you've coached helped her as much as I could because when I heard her voice that she has one of the most

1:38:07 She has a lot of women that have that are good on broadcasting. They have a kind of a song in their voices like a yeah It's got a ring to it. That's it's it's like it's it's hard to explain it But when you hear it, you know it and when I heard her voice at all my god, it's pleasant It's a pleasant voice and I when I met her and talked to her the first time it was like she has no training and You know, it's just natural and that's just so I got it made if you like natural. It's like people you run into there's another one I need to go digress too much but it's like once in a while you're running somebody who's like a natural teleprompter reader. Never seen one, don't know what it is, they start to look at it, they read it like it's like... I know, I know, I know, Trump is exactly like that.

1:39:00 He's the worst teleprompter here. His whole body shifts, and now I'm going back to the teleprompter. The United States of the lot, and then it gets so boring. Why don't the Democrats call Trump out on this? He's a lousy teleprompter reader and he bitched and moaned and groaned about Obama and his teleprompter and then the next thing you know he's reading from it and nobody says anything. Well it's because the Democrats guy, Bo Jiden, is not much better. So people in glass houses, people in front of glass screens People who read from glass screens should not cast the first stone.

1:39:42 We will be interviewing Briney in a few weeks. Lastly, he continues, we need to call out the Brothers of the Serpent podcast as douchebags. We hit them in the mouth last May and I know they've been loving the show. Better donate soon, boys. Keep up the good work, lads. Onward and upward. Thank you for your courage. Yeah, there's no threat there or anything. Better donate soon, boys. Thank you very much. Matt Davidson's next, he came in with $200. They're John and Adam. I've been thinking about donating for a while. I knew it was time when listening to the first donation segment for episode 1222 when JCD said, now let's thank some people for show 1222. I looked at the clock in my car.

1:40:29 It was 1222. It was a sign. Thank you for the sanity. Adam, great interview with Rogan. Thanks. Matt Davidson, jingles please. Okay, Matt Davidson, jingles please. Huntsman sounds pretty good with the goat health karma. I think that sounds pretty good. You've got karma. Thank you, Matt. Wait a minute. He didn't ask for a de-douching. It seems like he might have been in order for one, but he didn't ask for it, so... David Alcock, 200.

1:41:08 I've been a douchebag for far too long, but thanks to some good house selling karma, I've got a little scratch to add to the kitty. Even though I do not have as much as I would like to give, you have 200, which is fine, I have included a little something, something extra to sweeten the pot. I have been fortunate enough to have good voice, although that is what people tell me, Oh, so he made a clip and he hope you'll like I think I don't know. I have it. I have it I think it's in order to give some background on the clip But first of all, it has nothing to do with sex. Although the name might imply something different when I produce I have a dry track which is the original recording and a wet track which has been Enhanced as you will find out I named the track pussy. So naturally I

1:42:04 named the first track dry pussy and nobody likes dry pussy and the enhanced track wet pussy. So my gift to the greatest podcast in the universe is not only in the universe but in the multiverse as well and all the nice dames and douchebags in the no agenda community for a little scratch for this kitty and some wet pussy humbly request a thorough de-douching some wet pussy and a don't eat me Hillary sincerely nature boy. Douchebag PS I'd like to work on the other no agenda with other no agenda producers so hit me in the mouth and the no agenda social.

1:42:42 Okay, well... I don't know, that was a note I don't feel comfortable reading. You've been de-douched. If you don't like what we have to say, pussy, then don't fucking listen. No agenda with Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak. Don't eat me, Hillary Clinton! You've got karma. Well, I think we should give him some general feedback. since he produced this. The preamble in the note was a little overboard, to be honest. Yeah, there's more note than there was material. Yeah, and you just read normally. You go a little bit too low like that. That's a bit too much. So a little less. I like the sound in general. But we wouldn't play a clip like that often with the F-bomb in there like that.

Canadian Economy Concerns, Business Card Etiquette

The hosts discuss the struggling Canadian economy under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, noting the collapse of the oil sector in Alberta. A brief tangent explores the continued relevance of physical business cards in professional settings. The segment concludes with a reminder for listeners to support the show via the "value for value" model at dvorak.org/na.

1:43:42 No, no, we try to avoid that. And it's not necessary. What does it bring to the party? Exactly. So, but you got a good voice, but just stop trying to force it like you're doing in a world where women wear comfortable shoes. Just ease back and send us a new one. The meeting's over. And by the way, most people are better off in broadcasting if they try to sound like themselves. It's like everything else. Thank you, David. We appreciate it. And I believe we have a Candanavian associate executive producer here on the list. Is this true? Sir Asset of the Candanavian Woods. Yes, Sir Asset of the Candanavian Woods in Cortise, Ontario, 114362.

1:44:31 This donation is, yeah, okay. Jingle request, you got it. That's true, Dvorak's chair gently squeaks. Karma request, deaf cancer goat. Forgive me, Podfather, for I have douchebagged. I completely missed my monthly donation for February, so I am making up for it with this donation for both months with some extra cash on top to bring me to the associate executive producer level. Please de-douche me. You've been de-douched. And give me some goat karma along with some f cancer karma for my father whose tumor appears to have been vanished since treatment and since treatment and will hopefully stay that way like the dealer's choice Sharpton. That's true. And yeah, you're didn't you say this twice in here? Am I reading this? No, no. And while Dvorak's chair. Yes, he did put their gently squeaks. Yeah.

Joe Biden Gaffe Coverage, Chris Wallace Interview

The hosts examine recent verbal slips by Joe Biden, including a comment where he appeared to say "we can only re-elect Donald Trump." While the full context showed he was warning against a "circular firing squad," the hosts argue the mainstream media is actively covering up his cognitive decline. Another gaffe from a Chris Wallace interview shows Biden confusing the host with "Chuck" and struggling to remember when he was last on the program.

joe biden· gaffes· chris wallace· mainstream media· circular firing squad

1:48:47 Let's start with the one that's not under Gaff but under Biden-Gaff and this is the one that got I think most of the play where he loses it in the middle of a discussion and says we have to re-elect Trump. And turn, turn this primary from a campaign that's about negative attacks into one about what we're for because we cannot get re-elect, we cannot win this re-election, excuse me, we can only re-elect Donald Trump. Now, I would like to stop for one moment here and put the no agenda producer researcher hat on. This is, you've been duped. You've been duped. This is out of context because what actually happened is Joe said something else after that.

1:49:34 So this is unfair. I have to protect Joe. If you want to nominate him, we'll bring this person. I mean, he's still out of his gourd, but that is not fair. Well, here it comes. I'm not going to argue with that, but let me just say one thing first. We're only doing these gaps because the mainstream media has decided to cover up for Joe. And many of these gaps came from people listening to these clips on the mainstream media and noticing chunks missing. Right. Just this one is unfair. I just want you to hear the whole thing in context.

1:50:09 to nominate will bring this party together who run a progressive positive campaign and turn turn this primary from a campaign that's about negative attacks into one about what we're for because we cannot get re-elected We cannot win this re-election, excuse me, we can only re-elect Donald Trump if in fact we get engaged in this circular firing squad here. So he saved it. But it's important to point out that something else, it was still nothing you, okay let me just step back. Who is in charge of Joe Biden? He just had a fantastic showing on Super Tuesday. Put the man at home, put the gimp ball in his mouth, lock him up, don't let him out! Put the surrogates on the road, get Jill Biden out there, anybody! Don't put this candidate out there before your Michigan primary. That's crazy! You can't manage this kind of person.

1:51:11 So they put him on the Chris Wallace show. Oh, geez. And so we now we have a standalone kind of a gaffe followed by more gaffe. And this is a real disaster, in my opinion. This is the gaffe standalone. Thanks, Chuck. We'll see me standing next to him and him standing next to me. We'll see who's sleepy. Mr. Vice President, thank you. Thanks for your time. Please come back in less than 13 years, sir. All right, Chuck. Thank you very much. Alright, it's Chris, but anyway. I just did Chris. No, no, I just did Chuck. I tell you what man, these are back to back. Anyway, I don't know how you do it early in the morning too. Safe travels on the campaign trail. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Thank you. Sad.

Biden "Ogamacare" Slip, 1994 Crime Bill

Joe Biden's recent speeches feature several linguistic stumbles, including referring to the Affordable Care Act as "Ogamacare" and mispronouncing his own name. The discussion pivots to Biden's legislative history, specifically his authorship of the 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act. This bill is credited with expanding the commercial prison system and the "super predator" rhetoric often associated with the Clintons.

joe biden· ogamacare· 1994 crime bill· super predators· incarceration

1:52:03 I think that wasn't even the real Joe. Now I have just a bunch of real short ones that came from a compilation. There was about 10 in the compilation. Most of them weren't very good, but I like these. And for a couple of reasons, this first one, which is at the top of the list, which is because all of these were at the same speech and this would have all, like two or three years ago on our show would have been a drunk or not drunk Do you want to do it? Do you want to do it drunk or non-drunk? No, we don't have to, but you can maybe later. No, we don't need to do that. But let's start with this one. This is the dump. This one says three. This is where he says, instead of Obamacare, he says, Oh, gamma care.

1:52:49 I have been a national firefighter. What I even, you know, I ponder though is the incredible enthusiasm and excitement this campaign has generated, folks. Wait a minute, this was something different. I didn't hear it. Did it end? I didn't hear it. That was the end, yeah. Oh, I must have clipped it poorly. Well, sorry. Well done. Good work, drunk or not drunk. Let's go to the mania or drunk one. This was one. You wanted two first? Oh no, I wanted three. This says Ogamacare in the clip. No, that was just for excitement. Okay, let's start over. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. They'll never know. I'll edit this out. Okay, good. Gee, John. Hey, John. Tell me, do you have more gaff clips?

1:53:38 Let's start back to that first one with the one you played. This is the one that would have qualified for the drunk or not drunk. This is just him rambling about talking to fire. He sounds plastered. They've been national firefighters! What I even, you know, I ponder though is the incredible enthusiasm and excitement this campaign has generated. Oh, thick tongue, yeah. Oh man. He needs to drink courage now. Now we'll move the clip. This one says to remove the one I wanted to the end. This one says to and this one I was very happy to get because he actually says, oh, Biden, a lifelong Democrat, a proud Democrat, an old Biden bomber Democrat. No, Biden, Biden says, oh, Biden, he does.

1:54:35 That's because that's not the real Joe, man. The real Joe wouldn't make that mistake, would he? It's about his own name? Oh Biden. Oh Biden. The reason why is because he keeps throwing in there what some consultant told him. Say Obama Biden, you know, the Obama Biden campaign, Obama Biden administration, Obama Biden care. And then he comes out with, but then when he for some reason says, oh Biden or Biden first, Biden, Obama, his brain can't process. So it comes out, oh Biden. You're probably right. This is probably exactly it. Now this is the one I like, which is the Ogamacare. We can do this by building on Ogamacare. Ogamacare. You know, if he actually used that on his platform, I think people would vote for it.

1:55:25 Oh, GammaCare. I like that. I want some Oh, GammaCare. Fantastic. All right. Poor Joe. Well, as somebody once said, this is elder abuse. Elder abuse. Yes, it is. Totally. But the media will not play these clips. Well, no, no, no. They're covering for him. They really everyone is all in on getting this guy the nomination and letting him run against Trump and lose. I would just like to remind everybody that if even if you go to Wikipedia, And this is why I don't, it's an insult really to run this guy, particularly when he talks about, I wrote that bill, I wrote that bill, I wrote the Federal Assault on Weapons Ban bill. Well, the problem is that was all wrapped up into one act of 1994, the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act.

1:56:17 And this is the act that put a hundred thousand cops on the street that built the entire commercial prison system. This was what Hillary Clinton said, this is how we need to bring the super predators to heel. And if you look right here on Wikipedia, so this was very, my point is not a very pro-African American thing you did here, Joe. And it says right here, the bill was originally written by Senator Joe Biden of Delaware. He was behind the whole thing. But okay, run Joe, run. This would be a good opportunity to mention that we do not have an explicit two-party system in the United States. You go anywhere overseas, well you only have Republicans and Democrats! No, you can actually, you know, there's a lot of different parties and I looked some of them up and I would like to share some other choices that you can vote for.

Satirical candidate Vermin Supreme is featured for his platform of "free thought, clean smiles, and ponies." Supreme, known for wearing a boot on his head, uses humor to protest the "tyrannical duopoly" and the police state, maintaining a presence on various state ballots.

Cenk Uygur Airport Meltdown

A recording captures Cenk Uygur, founder of The Young Turks, having a confrontation with airline staff over a delayed flight. Uygur is heard repeatedly demanding to know "where is the plane" and accusing the staff of dishonesty. The hosts criticize the perceived arrogance of Uygur for recording his own aggressive behavior toward service workers.

2:01:10 So while we're on the topic of Vermin Supreme, I have a kind of a side clip that might be worth listening to, because I've got to compete with you now digging up some of these things. This is Chunk. Chunk. Chunk Uger. Uger? Uger, yes. So he actually recorded this himself. Oh. And this is only part of the recording. He's at the airport and he, I guess the flight was delayed. And he decided to make a fuss about it. And he was going to and he's going to post this, I guess he did or somebody isn't as old. He's done this before. Hasn't he gone through some airport? Yeah, he does this every so often. I don't know if this is new or old, but I've never heard it before. You've heard it before. I think this is old. I think you got snookered again, man. Is the flight coming?

2:02:00 I think this is I think this is old. You at least got to be honest. Is there a flight? Is there a plane? You got to be honest. Is there a plane? Is there a plane? Where is the plane? Where is the plane? Is there a plane? Where is it? Where is the plane? No, but listen, if we just sit here and take it, they'd have us here until 6 in the morning and then they'd fuck us even harder. Okay? So, I need to... You're a supervisor, aren't you? Where's the plane? Sorry, I'm not going to answer your question. No, I know because I've been here for four hours!

2:02:38 Don't give me this. Where's the plane? Here, I got a question for you. When did you make the decision that we weren't going to have a plane? When did you make that decision? Who made the decision? Who made the decision that we weren't going to have a plane? It's funny to you, right? It's not funny to us. Who made the decision? Who made the decision? Who made it? Well, who is it then? That's what I'm asking. Whose fault is it? Whose fault is it? Is there a crew? Is there a crew? Is there a crew? Is there a plane or a crew? No, no, no, but they told us that four hours ago. Yeah, I think this is old. I'm pretty sure it is. Well, it's new to me.

Vaping Industry Crackdown, IQOS Launch

The vaping industry faces a coordinated takedown by Big Tobacco and state governments reliant on Master Settlement Agreement funds. As Juul is pushed out of the market, Philip Morris prepares to launch IQOS, a "heat-not-burn" tobacco device. The transition is framed as a way for tobacco companies to reclaim market share lost to independent vape shops and flavored e-liquids.

vaping· big tobacco· juul· iqos· philip morris

2:03:25 And I got a kick out of not the like as though somebody was recording somebody going nuts, you know with their own camera. I got a kick out of the arrogance for him to record it. Oh, he thinks he's all that in a bag of chips, man. It's just unbelievable. He really does. He really thinks he's all that. I know. I mean, let's record ourselves being an a-hole. I don't know. Hey, I have an update. Not really an update, but I caught something. In the... oh wait a minute, I need to play my theme song. Hold on. I have a theme song here. Let's see. Remember, I am the Vaped Crusader, hero of the vapors. I have exposed evil tobacco.

2:04:23 Apparently, by the way, I should mention this, not to promote Joe Rogan, but everybody commented on your, because I heard that part too, on your exposition on the, I was asked about it by Nick. He says, what is all this? Adam has been going on and on about this for weeks. Months, probably. If not months. And he became an expert. I explained Dexter and I went to the background and everything. I said, I don't think that many people know so much. He's almost like he's like now he's the expert. He should be hired by or brought into the government. And he summarized apparently beautifully, according to everybody on the Joe Rogan show. And I guess nobody,

2:05:13 It baffled everybody. Wow. So it's a compliment of some sort that I'm giving you. Yes. For bringing this. It clearly pains you, but okay, keep it coming. I know it's not well structured. No, not really. But so the even shorter version is Vaping has been taken down by Big Tobacco and the states that have the Master States Agreement. That's an important part, which means tobacco companies have a deal with states. States, particularly California, get a lot of money to compensate for the death and destruction that tobacco causes. And the states wrote bonds

2:05:56 against these and you know so they borrowed money against their future earnings and with vaping guess what people were not smoking tobacco so they had to put a stop for it and taking Juul effectively out of the market and I think Monday or Tuesday they're gonna try and pass this bill for flavored e-liquids because oh you know that's just trying to hook the children You know, don't don't mind giving your three-year-old a cell phone, but please don't don't have any flavored vape liquids around. And this is all to Sheppard Inn, which is now coming and we've been waiting for I-QOS. I and I know it's a stupid name. No one even knows how to pronounce it. I little I capital Q-O-S, which stands for... And what was the... this is a good... I'll stop you here.

2:06:41 What were they thinking with this naming convention? It's an acronym for I quit ordinary smoking and I and I'm sure the URL was available Because who the hell comes up with that so and and why is this the genius they've been working for working towards is because it is a device that looks like a vape pen, it comes with little cartridges you plug in, but it is heated tobacco, which means it's almost smoke-free. This is since the barbarians at the gate.

2:07:17 If you've never seen that movie, I think it was HBO, Barbarians at the Gate is about the leveraged buyout of RGR Nabisco and a running gag throughout this was, well actually not even a gag, they had on deck the smokeless cigarette and it was going to be a huge bonanza so they do a leveraged buyout but it turns out the smokeless cigarette when you light it with a match something some chemical reaction took place with the sulfur and it smelled like a turd so But so the IQOS apparently is smokeless. So now I'm looking at how else are they going to try and introduce this because they need a few more pushes. We already have vape is bad, vape is going to kill you even though it's completely unrelated with illegal THC cartridges filled with vitamin E acetate added. We have all the scary stuff, kids are getting hooked, it's all bad. Here's IQOS that's going to save the world but we still need

Third-Hand Smoke Research, IQOS Marketing

New public health research introduces the concept of "third-hand smoke," claiming that residue on clothing and furniture is as toxic as secondhand smoke. Professor John Banzhaf suggests employees should file OSHA or ADA complaints against coworkers who smell of tobacco. This research is viewed as a PR precursor to marketing IQOS as a "cleaner" alternative that eliminates the lingering odors associated with traditional smoking.

third-hand smoke· john banzhaf· osha· iqos· public health

2:08:15 We still need to highlight how great this new device is and what better than some new research. Yeah! Now let's think. Almost no smoke, practically no smoke from this. That's important because of a new term. Third hand smoke. You don't have to be anywhere near a cigarette for toxic chemicals to affect you. That's because the residue is lingering long after that cigarette is put out. What you need to know, John Banzhaf is a professor of public interest of law at George Washington University Law School. Also the founder of the group Action on Smoking and Health. Many of us had no idea what third hand smoke was. How exactly, if it's on clothes or in walls, is it so powerful that it can actually harm our health?

2:09:03 Well, in many ways third-hand tobacco smoke is like second-hand tobacco smoke, although the experts tell us it is more toxic. The Surgeon General tells us there's no safe lower level of exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke. Kills 40,000 Americans every year. Compare that, by the way, to the coronavirus. Now what this study shows is if you're a typical non-smoker, you go to a movie theater where they haven't had smoking for over 15 years, you sit down, it's not too crowded. Some of the people in the audience are smokers, although they're not smoking then. Simply the residue from their clothing will be enough to expose you to about the exposure of 10 cigarettes secondhand tobacco smoke.

2:09:47 This is pretty outrageous research. I mean, I don't think that the jury is really in or is done on secondhand smoke, but now thirdhand smoke, you go to a movie theater, just the smoke, the residue that is hanging on other people's clothes is equivalent to you sitting next to somebody smoking 10 cigarettes. It doesn't even pass... Oh, the sniff test. This is bull. No, this is... PR is what this is. This was on HLN. CLN... What's the difference? Well, because this aired on CNN Headline News. This is their propaganda channel.

2:10:28 I mean, not any less than the other CNN. But this is where you can get these kinds of guys. Here's the National Center for Health Research. Sounds important. Not really. These guys are paid shills. And this research is going to be distributed. It's coming from them. Go ahead. Wait for it. This will become a story. They need a break. They need a break in the media cycle so they can slip this in. But that's what we're getting now. That'll be the next step towards we need IQOS. Yes, because it takes care of the nasty third-hand smoke.

2:11:10 You want to hear some more? I have another minute and 50 seconds. That is definitely even worse for kids because this stuff tends to collect on rugs and furniture. Kids are crawling around on rugs. They're more likely to pick up things, to touch things, to put them in their mouths. And so it's much more dangerous for kids, but it's terribly dangerous for adults. Fortunately, there are legal remedies. And what are the things we can do? Because obviously the takeaway... Now listen to this. This is really egregious because they're going to use HR and all kinds of other mechanisms to screw people who are, and probably people who are vaping too. You just watch. It'll be, oh, third hand vapor. Oh yeah, it's really bad. Listen to what he suggests you do at your company.

2:11:56 And what are the things we can do? Because obviously the takeaway, I can go to a movie theater, I can't prevent whether someone next to me smoked a cigarette. No, but if you work and you work where somebody is smoking, go outside for smoking break and come back in and they smell of tobacco smoke, you can complain to your employer, you can file a complaint with OSHA, you can file a complaint under the Americans with Disabilities Act, you can probably file a complaint under your local laws relating to this. And we've actually done this and in fact it works. Or you could give him an I-QOS for his birthday. It's coming. No legs. The third hand smoke story has got no legs. Okay, we'll see. I'm predicting that as we speak. And this guy sounds like an old crank. Now if the I-QOS manufacturer comes along and says, hey we want to buy some ads, I think it'll get some legs.

2:12:54 We'll see. The third hand smoke thing is too laughable. It's got no legs. It's stupid. It's a stupid. This is the stupidest thing. He had a lab coat on, John. He looked official. Well, the lab coat was a smart move. But I'll say this, this doesn't have, this is not going to work. It's too stupid. It is stupid. How would you suggest Iqos market to the masses? I don't think they're going to Oh, that's a good question. If we were sitting around trying to figure out how to sell this turkey, it truly is a turkey. How would we go about it is the question. I don't, I mean, I think... It's got a bad name. It's got, it looks, it's just too similar to vaping. Why don't we just vape? It makes more sense. It's, and this... I would market it as... No, no, here I go. They're painting themselves into a corner. No, no, no, no. It's impossible.

2:13:48 IQOS, the safe vape. That's what I do. Because it doesn't have... That's better than what they're doing. Yeah, it doesn't have any harmful chemicals. As a bonus, there's almost no secondhand smoke, let alone that crazy third-hand smoke people are talking about. You already know what the tobacco company would say to that pitch. They'd say we don't want to use the word vape in any way we were trying to get people not to even think about Vaping so we can't we can't put vape can't put the competition's word in our pitch Okay Well, it's a real shame if they can't even launch a new product off of this destruction. I mean, the vape industry is quite large worldwide and it's just being hammered. When I say they're outlawing flavored e-liquids, that's not entirely true. You have to go through the FDA process, about $1.5 million per flavor. So, you know, it's like who can afford that?

Ageism in Media, Norm Solomon on Corporate Bias

Amy Goodman of Democracy Now is criticized for repeatedly using the phrase "older white men" to describe the remaining Democratic candidates. Socialist activist Norm Solomon appears on the program to decry corporate media bias against Bernie Sanders. Solomon argues that networks like MSNBC, owned by Comcast, are fundamentally anti-labor and use "slander and innuendo" to protect their profits from Sanders' proposed tax policies.

amy goodman· democracy now· norm solomon· bernie sanders· corporate media

2:14:53 So it's and there's a lot of vape shops and a lot of family businesses. This was a very grassroots movement that was taking place and in collusion with the government, the big tobacco came in and screwed everybody and is getting away with it. And that's it from your Vapes Crusaders. See you next time, everybody. So I'm noticing a couple of interesting things. the thing that irks me, the little trend that's irking me is the ageism that I'm starting to see on Democracy Now. Oh, interesting. And this, I only have one, but I could say that she says this constantly over and over again because everyone's all irked about the way it's gone for Elizabeth Warren. Once she quit, everybody's all tizzy. And so you end up, if you go to Democracy Now, you hear

2:15:51 the following kind of thing, and you hear it a lot. This is Amy Goodman and the way she describes the competition. This is the top clip. The Amy, older white men. Senator Elizabeth Warren has suspended her bid for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, leaving the race down to two older white men, former Vice President Joe Biden, Senator Bernie Sanders. And she says that older white men a number of times and then when she starts talking to people they go off the deep end complaining about racism and sexism. Yeah, but ageism doesn't count. Ageism apparently is okay with these folk. And so they go on and on. Now I do have one clip that I did kind of enjoy.

2:16:38 This was, she brought in this guy, old socialist hack Norman Solomon to come on and they were of course defending one of the older white, old white man, Bernie Sanders. But they were discussing and I think pretty much what we've been saying for a very long time, the corruption of the media and why we see a lot of anti-Trump corruption of the media The anti-Bernie thing is, at least if you're a socialist... appears to be even worse, but they never make the jump to Trump. They will not see Trump, whatever they say about Trump's fine. But let's listen to this clip because I enjoy this. This is Norm Solomon on the corporate media. Let's face it, MSNBC and CNN, huge and powerful cable networks, have been engaged in all sorts of slander and innuendo and sometimes smears

2:17:35 against Bernie Sanders. And for Rachel Maddow and MSNBC and other networks and media to act as though this is only coming from one direction and toward one direction is of a piece of a pattern of bias against Bernie Sanders that shouldn't be a surprise but should outrage us. These are corporate owned entities. MSNBC is owned by Comcast, a very anti-labor, anti-consumer, huge corporation. They don't want Bernie Sanders to be president. He would tax their profits. He would challenge the prerogatives of the wealthy to determine the policies of the US government. And overall

2:18:15 all I think we should note that corporate media have been on a assault against Bernie Sanders. We've gone through several phases. A year ago he was old news, other candidates were saying the same things. Then when he stuck with Medicare for All, which is an affirmation of the human rights of all people, then he was portrayed as an extremist or too radical, out of step. Then we were told he had no chance to win the nomination. Then after New Hampshire and especially Nevada, he was being trashed. The mud was flying from corporate media. To pretend that therefore, progressives should stay neutral until a convention, I just don't understand that.

Elizabeth Warren SNL Appearance, Kamala Harris Endorsement

Elizabeth Warren appears on Saturday Night Live alongside Kate McKinnon but continues to withhold an official endorsement in the Democratic primary. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris officially endorses Joe Biden, a move labeled as hypocritical given her previous debate attacks on his record regarding busing. Speculation suggests Warren is being pressured by the party establishment to eventually back Biden rather than Sanders.

elizabeth warren· saturday night live· kamala harris· joe biden· endorsements

2:18:56 We have Elizabeth Warren saying now that she's going to stay in the fight. Is the fight for Medicare for All, is the fight against corporate power. If that fight is to affirm the human rights of all human beings, how can she stay neutral? This is very disturbing to me because every day goes by and Elizabeth Warren fails to endorse Bernie Sanders and go out and campaign for him is a de facto assistance to corporate power, to corporate America and Joe Biden and I don't think we should pretend anything else. Wow! She was on SNL last night, Liz. Oh! Yeah. Did you catch it? Yeah, I did. It was, it was, it was, she was pretty good, I have to say. They did a whole, a whole bit

2:19:45 And what's her name Kate McKinnon, you know, she does Elizabeth Warren and then so Elizabeth all of a sudden came on she was answering questions. It's fuzzy but it was good and but more importantly Elizabeth Warren and she's what 70 I think she's just about 70? No she's over 70 she's like Well, she might just be semi-alcoholic. She's an old white woman. But if she got contacts, grew her hair back, and ran as a Republican, she'd have a shot. She is pretty good looking. Her neck, good skin. She does not look 70. And if you look at older pictures of her, she had some hottie in her.

2:20:37 You have to go way back. She is exactly 70, yes. But she just needs to stop dressing like a hysterical nut job. This is just some advice from the Curry Dvorak consulting group. She actually dresses like an 80 year old woman. Yeah, yes, she dresses older than she is and it just you know, don't part it in the middle get get contacts. She could look really good. She should go ask Hillary where she gets her hair done in Paris. Paris and get Paris. Yes. Exactly. That's some hair. You got hair do. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but she was good. I again.

2:21:15 She was good, but she's still not exactly as Solomon said. She's not endorsing anyone. She's not helping Bernie. She's not helping anybody. Who the hell knows what she's doing? No, she's not going to help Bernie. The party's going to be on her ass saying, look. Look! Do you like this job of yours as a senator? You want to keep a support, you're going to stay in the party, you're going to become an independent, what are you going to do? If you're going to, if you're a Democrat, you're going to endorse Joe. And here's how you're going to do it. They're going to give her a script. That's a good excuse for her endorsing Joe. She is not going to endorse Bernie. There's no way. There's no way she's going to ever endorse Bernie. She can't do it. They won't let her.

2:21:55 No, you're right. You're right. You're right. Well, maybe she did hold out. Maybe she was holding out for a great deal. Maybe there's something. I don't know. We'll see. Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris endorsed Joe Biden. Kamala Harris, who stood there and said, I was one of those children you bused to school. And now she's all, this is the man. I trust him. He's great. Oh, please, hypocrite. Camel a hypocrite. I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fab. And we do have a few people to thank for show 1223. Yes. Beginning with...

Joshua Pettigrew Art, Mark J Birthday

Artist Joshua Pettigrew sends a donation and a note explaining his recent absence from the show's art submissions. Pettigrew was responsible for the popular Pete Buttigieg "Alfred E. Neuman" artwork. Another listener, Mark J, recalls discovering the show through John C. Dvorak's mentions on TWiT and notes his immediate connection to the show's media deconstruction.

joshua pettigrew· pete buttigieg· alfred e. neuman· headbangers ball· msm

2:22:49 Well, we did Sir Acid, so let's go to Sir Richard Hufford. $100. Loves the show. Keep it up. Sir Herb Lamb, the Earl of Georgia. $80.08. A compliment for you on JRE. Joshua Pettigrew. You know who he is? Yes. In Monticello. Well, he is our artist that did the... Oh, yes. Can't do art anymore. So he sent us in some money and I got a note from and I want to read it Okay, yeah, I figure out where it is. Here it is No longer than I'd like but here it is dear Jack Benny in Rochester I write you in the response to the many kind words of appreciation that you both have heaped upon the Pete Buttigieg artwork I submitted a special thanks goes to John who has personally championed it and

2:23:47 mentioning it on the show more than once and using it in the newsletter and posting about it on Twitter. It's true. It's because it's a great piece. I also write to apologize for the belatedness of this note. I should have responded quicker. You guys deserve better of your producers. I've not gone overboard and continue to be blessed by your wit and wisdom during these deranged times. The reason for my lack of artwork submissions in recent years is due to the fact that I can't listen to the show live anymore. Right. Yeah, he told us that. As you can imagine, this can be a difficult hurdle to overcome. The Pete Buttigieg art came after Trump called him Alfred E. Newman on Twitter. The hilarious images it conjured in my mind was just dying to be expressed in real life. As John has described in the show before, sometimes an artist just has to create. This is true in this case and I couldn't help myself despite the low possibilities of being selected. And that was the reason I wanted to read this note is that we have another guy that's one of our artists, we won't mention who it is, who's always quitting.

2:24:48 He, you know, you'll get upset and you never, I'm not going to do any more art. But he listens to the show and this happens. Artists are artists. Yep, they are. And they can't not do it. And I just thought it was a sweet note. That's a sweet note. And just it reminded me of last night, the former New York banker. I know who he wanted to be the candidate and who he thinks will be an excellent president next time around. Pete Buttigieg. And I know this because I said, oh CIA Pete, the white Obama. Mmm that was the wrong thing to say. What did he think of that commentary? He did not like that. But he's the smartest guy. Yeah he mumbled and he got, yeah I could see him, I backed off immediately.

2:25:41 He was in it. You upset the apple cart. Nah, that was early on in the evening so it was still good. Everything turned out great later. After I sent them home with one of those cinnamon bottles from Jambo Joe. Everybody loves me now. I'll bet Jim Zuko loves us 69 69 came in from Beverly Hills, California with a donation And he says in this age of Corona can John share his recipe for Basmati rice. Thanks I don't know what coronavirus has to do with it, but you should consider I haven't written up somewhere I'll post it good good Bobby shram and Dubuque, Iowa Dubuque

2:26:25 He needs 60 bucks and him and his smoking hot wife need a de-douching. Kate, yeah. You've been de-douched. Mark J will call him because it's what it says on his note from American Fork, Utah Sent a note in that is again worth of at least a little mention. He needs a de douching He says he also I didn't do this and I made a mistake he's needs to be on the birthday list Okay, Mark R. Jay. Yeah, it's turning 50 on Saturday. I

2:27:03 Okay, Mark J 50 on Saturday done So he says the last 10 years have been a string of bad thing after another maybe some no agenda karma will help put that at the end for you He says I first discovered no agenda in the back of the early days when John mentioned on twit that he was doing a podcast With the original and greatest host of headbangers ball What so I had to listen And he says, I immediately connected with the show as you were talking about things I was noticing about the MSM that nobody else seemed to notice. And he says, I stupidly became a man overboard and they'd only return in 2016 after the 2016 election. And he has a PS so I wanted to imagine. He says he didn't know it was, we talked about this before, he didn't know it was saying, they were saying new world order.

Saudi-Russia Oil War, King Salman Rumors

Saudi Arabia initiates a massive oil price war by slashing crude prices and increasing production following a fallout with Russia and OPEC. The move has caused global prices to drop toward $28 a barrel, threatening the viability of American shale oil producers. Amidst the economic turmoil, rumors circulate that King Salman may be incapacitated or deceased, as Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) detains several high-ranking royal family members for treason.

saudi aramco· opec· vladimir putin· shale oil· mbs

2:40:47 Sometimes you wanna go hang out with all the nights and days. To be where you won't be triggered or held to blame. You wanna be where everybody feels the same. It's like a party. Thank you for reminding me of that show now back to this This oil ward looks like we're under we're like at 45 bucks a barrel now And it's and it's it could go down some say to 28. Yeah There's I saw a clip years ago that Saudi Arabia can make money at 20 because it comes out so easy Yeah, but we just something else going on there too. I want to play this clip. This is about some Saudi Arabian intrigue

2:41:35 Okay, at least four members of the Saudi royal family are being detained according to reports in The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal the Saudi princes were reportedly taken into custody for allegedly plotting to oust King Salman and the king's Designated successor his son crowned Prince Mohammed bin Salman two of the men the king's brother Prince Ahmed bin Abdul Aziz and his nephew Prince Mohammed bin Nayef were arrested in their homes in charge with treason Naif had been crowned prince until 2017 when King Salman replaced him with his son, Mohammed bin Salman, known as MBS. Saudi officials did not comment on the four arrests as of Saturday afternoon. So from Bloomberg, Saudi Arabia kicked off an all-out oil war on Saturday, slashing official pricing for its crude, making the deepest cuts in the last 20 years on its main grades in a bid to push as many barrels into the market as possible.

2:42:28 The cuts in monthly pricing by state producer Saudi Aramco are the first indication of how the Saudis will respond to the breakup of the alliance between OPEC and partners like Russia. The kingdom plans to accompany the price cuts with a hike in crude supply. So they're going to flood the market. I got people in Texas emailing me saying they're worried because we can't go much under 50 bucks I think for our shale. No, shale, no. 50 is definitely the bottom, right? Yeah, you can't do shale. Otherwise, it's just no, there's no money. Saudi Aramco lowered April pricing for its crude sales to Asia by $4 to $6 a barrel and to the US by $7 a barrel. And then Putin's also starting to dump now. Now this is... Well, the Russians don't have... Well, I think they're trying to crush Russia. They have a price floor too that is...

2:43:23 It's not much lower than what it is. No. I don't know. Maybe this is part of a giant scheme. Maybe it's part of the whole Syria thing. You know, it's all about oil there too. And so maybe someone stepped on somebody's toes. But yes, I've read, I don't know if I can find it anywhere here, but I think I read that the incarceration, because when I read the story, I'm like, is this an old story about MBS incarcerating his family? But no, it's happening again. There's a rumor that King Salman is dead. That he's dead? Yeah, he's dead. Yeah, you heard that too. Yeah. So what happens? Could this, if they really go down to 28, I mean, won't we get, won't we have an oil crisis again, like in the 70s? Isn't that exactly what happened? No. In the 70s, the price went up, not down. Oh, what am I thinking of then?

2:44:22 Well, so I don't know as far as I'm concerned you'd be lower the price of oil and the economy's all perk up because they're Cheap energy so cheap energy me wait here. We go. This is Trump with his buddies member his orb friends They all stood at the orb And now yeah, and he said hey hey MBS brah let's put Putin out of business man How about that for a strategy? Well, it'll definitely hurt Putin. It'll hurt some of our oil suppliers, but mostly the frackers. It won't change much with the drillers. And I don't know. I mean, I'm watching it closely trying to figure out what the hell's going on, but it's very weird. It's very odd. There's no reason for it unless something's going on. There's something afoot. Okay, well, I expect to know more by Thursday, I hope.

AOC Census Comments, House Rules Committee Dogs

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appears on Seth Meyers to encourage all residents, regardless of documentation status, to participate in the 2020 Census. She emphasizes that the data is confidential and determines federal funding for local schools and infrastructure. In a lighter segment, AOC is noted for participating in a House Rules Committee tradition where members' dogs are photographed as "chair dog of the day."

alexandria ocasio-cortez· census· undocumented immigrants· house rules committee· dogs

2:45:21 AOC was on Seth Meyers. We haven't played any AOC stuff in a while, if you're interested. Yeah, I'm always interested in whatever she has to say. Well, and this caught my eye because people are all like upset because she said illegals should, illegal aliens should vote in the, or should participate in the census. And of course there's all kinds of people, particularly on the right, who are triggered by that. But as far as I know, the idea is everybody signs it. I mean, it states quite specifically

2:45:57 the FAQs that I read on the census.gov site that yes, if you want money to go to your community, your city, your town, whatever, even if you're there undocumented, you should participate in the census. So she's not saying anything out of the ordinary, but I guess this stems from the potential question that the Trump administration was toying with putting on which was are you here legally or not or I think was it citizen or resident alien. Anyway here she is. Another thing that will have huge implications not just on this election but the next decade is the census. Can you speak about how you're approaching that and how, just try to explain to people exactly how important it is.

2:46:41 This is such a setup. So y'all come on if you let me talk about this. So we are all going to get census forms or a prompt. We're all gonna get mailed a prompt to fill out the census in the next two weeks or so. And so I think what's really important is that we all fill this out. It happens once every 10 years. Every single person, no matter your documentation status, no matter your housing status, income, et cetera, is to be counted. And it determines how much our schools are gonna get funded, how much infrastructure gets invested, and of course how many members of Congress each community gets. And if you get undercounted, you know, in some parts of New York City, some communities, the self-reporting is about half of what we think it should be. And that has real impacts on apportionment of

2:47:28 of how many teachers that your local schools get. So it's really important, it's completely confidential, and it's even confidential within the federal government. Your census data is not shared with any other federal agency at all. So don't worry if you're having a creative living situation and it's not gonna be told to your landlord or anything crazy like that, don't worry. Totally safe. A good tip, a good tip from my view. Such a phony dude that. Now this is also, the census is also used for redistricting so it's very important to have everyone counted. Certainly if you have people who would be sympathetic to AOC such as undocumented immigrants

2:48:17 I don't think she's going to get re-elected by the way. I think she's out. All of these, the whole squad, I'm pretty sure there's going to be some movement against them as well. They'll get out. Well the party's fed up with them. Yeah, and and and she said there's one other clip here short one that I have I was surprised by this and as a citizen as a taxpayer somewhat irked I'm very happy to see you got some companionship for yourself. I would imagine Washington even though it's crowded with people can be very lonely Yeah, you got a new dog These are very Very attractive photos of Deca with these professionally done This was taken in the house rules committee. He was a doggy chairman of the day He rotates there's a cast of characters, and so they very graciously Invite the the dogs of many members. Oh, so this is that this was not a special treatment for you It's a rotating set of dogs, so there's a lot of

2:49:18 different doggy chairs of the day. That's great. By the way, I don't know why that's not on C-SPAN. It should be. It should be because C-SPAN is boring and needs more dogs. It would be like puppy bowl. Yeah, exactly. So they take time to bring their dogs into the chambers and they have professional photographers and they put their little dog with a little sign with his name and they take a picture of it and he's the chair dog. Really? I can see why you're irked. Dogs are people too. Anne, with this behavior you're putting us into the debt trap of Japan. She's the one saying you can't have children because of climate change. Well look at Japan and enjoy your future AOC. You should change your tune, young lady. I had gotten a couple of clips

Greek-Turkish Border Clashes, Nexit Movement

Tensions escalate at the Greek-Turkish border as Greek police use tear gas and water cannons to deter Syrian migrants. The crisis follows President Erdogan's decision to open Turkey's borders to Europe. Simultaneously, a "Nexit" movement gains traction in the Netherlands, though critics question the feasibility of a landlocked European nation leaving the Eurozone and returning to the Guilder.

greece· turkey· recep tayyip erdogan· migrants· nexit

2:50:19 to finish things up. I want to get at least one, I want the tensions on the Greek border so we can catch up with that little problem that's becoming a a mess which is not being reported. The PBS does report it on Saturday. Tensions on Greece's border with Turkey escalated today as migrants trying to get into Europe faced off with Greek police. Authorities used tear gas to try and disperse a group of migrants armed with rocks who tried to tear down a border fence. At least two people were reportedly injured in today's clashes. Greek police have been clashing with Syrian migrants trying to cross into the country since Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan opened the border last week.

2:50:55 Greek officials said that the tear gas and water cannons were used for quote deterrence purposes Man, it's such a mess. It's a total mess I hear that there's now a new movement starting for negxit for the Netherlands. They want to negxit. Yeah Yeah, is that gonna work? What do you mean, how is it going to work? They're landlocked, they're right in the middle of a landlocked, I mean they're not landlocked, but they're right in the middle of all, they're right in the guts of Europe. I mean it's not like England's an island over there, some place they can kind of maybe pull it off. I don't know if they could pull it off.

2:51:35 Well, I'm just reporting. I'd be all for it. Yeah, I'm all for it. In fact, I talked to the former New York banker last night and said, what do they do with the euro? Because that's a problem. He said, that's a real problem to do a Brexit type move while holding the euro zone. Yeah. Well, what he said was they should bring back the gilder and peg it to the euro. But then at the price that it went in, so the biggest complaint when the gilder turned to the euro is you got 50 cents for, it was two gilders to the euro. And so you'd buy a cup of coffee a week before this changed over and it cost three gilders and a couple weeks later it was three euros.

Rosalind P. Walter Obituary, Rosie the Riveter

Rosalind P. Walter, a major benefactor of PBS and the inspiration for the "Rosie the Riveter" song, dies at age 95. Despite her wealthy background as the daughter of a pharmaceutical executive, she worked as a night-shift riveter during World War II and broke production records. Her philanthropy was driven by a desire to provide all Americans with equal access to education and the arts through public broadcasting.

rosalind p. walter· pbs· rosie the riveter· world war ii· philanthropy

2:52:18 They have the Italy too. Oh, yeah, so I think it was 220 or something was the exact number So he says peg it back to you know, so that would be what? 60 cents or whatever And introduce the euro the Gilder at that price but peg it peg it to the euro For five years and then you can always change that later. But still it would cause a boom in the economy Oh my god, it would be so good Yeah, well that's a good idea. Hey, do we have an end of show ISO or are you leaving me high and dry? I don't have any ISOs. I do have one little end of show kind of sad story. Kind of, but it's interesting. Well that's not good for end of show. No, it's not that sad. It's okay. It's the fact that Rosalind P. Walter, who you've heard her name a million times, she's financed half of PBS, died

2:53:11 And she's a rich woman. She was an inheritor of Schwab and your dad founded the drug company. Super rich, but there's a kicker in this story about her. She, Rosalind P. Walter, who nobody knows who she is, but she was Rosie the Riveter. Oh, with the muscle arm? And the muscle arm in World War II. Wow, really? I found that to be fascinating. And it's just a very strange story about her in general because she was, her parents wouldn't let her go to college for probably the same reasons you shouldn't go to college today. It's just a very, I thought it would be a good, we don't play them on the show too much, but this one was kind of fascinating. It was run on a Saturday, of course, so nobody got to hear it. The More You Know In The Morning.

2:54:04 This week, Rosalind P. Walter, one of the most generous and devoted supporters of PBS programming, including the NewsHour and NewsHour Weekend, died at age 95. Her name has been a constant on the credits of programs like American Masters, which she helped launch, to great performances, to Ken and Rick Burns documentaries, and dozens of other programs since the mid-1970s. Rosalind P. Walter served as a trustee at WNET for more than 30 years and became the station's most generous individual supporter in its history. But most people don't know that Rosalind P. Walter was also the inspiration for a 1942 hit song, Rosie the Riveter, and the posters honoring the women who worked in U.S. factories during World War II. She's making history, working for victory, Rosie.

2:54:51 In the early years of World War II, Roz worked as a riveter on the night shift at a Long Island aircraft plant making the Corsair fighter planes. They had to find out whether women could earn the same pay by doing the same job, so they timed me after I'd learned them all. And I broke all the men's records. They had to pay the women the same amount. She was never known as Rosie, always Roz, but the song was born. Rosalind P. Walter was born into a privileged wealthy family. Her father was president and chairman of the pharmaceutical company ER Squib and Sons, and her mother was a well-known educator, poet, and writer. But her parents refused to allow Rosalind to attend college.

Her legacy is ours to carry on. Thank you, Rosalind P. Walter. Aww, that is a nice, nice note to leave on. It's nice. Yeah. Yeah. When I die, I want a plaque. I want a plaque.

2:56:38 And we look forward to returning with you on Thursday. You never know what'll be happening in the meantime, especially on show days. And coming to you from Opportunity Zone 33 here in Austin, Texas, capital of the drone star state, FEMA region number six on the governmental maps in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry. And from northern Silicon Valley, where there are bald heads and fists in the air. And I don't care. I'm John C. Dvorak. We return on Thursday right here on No Agenda. Until then, remember us at dvorak.org slash NA. And adios, mofos and such. Completely.

2:57:27 illogical what's going on. Sadly, we're reacting in all the wrong ways. I mean, my favorite part of this script as it unravels was the Pope sneezing and coughing like, oh my God! If the Pope dies, this will freak out the world. We're conditioned through horror movies for this. We're conditioned? So we're primed. We're primed to be suckered into something. Someone was trying to talk to me about that. Whatever's going with the pandemic, there's always something going on in the background. Do you think whenever there's something going on with the pandemic, then they use it as an opportunity to sneak stuff in the background? Yes, yes. So you have a bill and the bill will be financing for coronavirus, whatever that means. So this is when you move in with new legislation and you stuff a bunch of shit in that bill. Peace of the Patriot Act may actually get passed in that. Like a million and a half was already kind of there. You cannot vote against this shit. Because how can you vote against Pandemic Saver? How can you?

2:58:15 against Patriot. You cannot vote against this shit. Pandemic saver. This whole thing is very, very spooky. There's all kinds of weird shit. You cannot vote against this shit. How can you vote against Patriot? So this is when you move in with new legislation? Yeah. I'm gonna go learn some fucking Muay Thai. I'm gonna kick you in the fucking head. It was awesome, man. But anyway, the problem is the joking around about it while death has happened. This message is being broadcast by the Department of Defense of the Republic.

2:59:02 This video is about the coronavirus and how it is another Illuminati scam. Now the first thing that got my attention was that Wuhan is a major city with 11 million people. Remember 11 is a masonic number. A story going around today claims that many people think the illness sweeping the globe is connected to Corona the beer. It's true. Google searches have spiked since January the 18th for the terms beer coronavirus. So far, Corona Beer's parent company has yet to comment about this. In overseas, many popular tourist destinations are eerily quiet due to coronavirus concerns. The waterways of Venice are largely empty and the Louvre in Paris is closed today as more infections are confirmed across Europe. Hundreds of shoppers rush into a Los Angeles Costco this morning with this warning, supplies are being rationed to keep up with the unprecedented coronavirus panic shopping.

3:00:04 Customers run down store aisles at full speed and then quickly start loading up their carts. Yesterday during a segment on the exchange, I said maybe it would be a good idea to expose everybody to the coronavirus. Maybe it would be better off for the global economy or the markets in general. It was the dumbest, most ignorant, stupid thing anybody could have ever said. ♪ You gotta lay down and die all night ♪ I think an epidemic, either naturally caused or intentionally caused, is the most likely thing to cause, say, 10 million excess deaths. Please don't tell the supervisor I have the flu. I've been working with a shattered pelvis for three weeks. I am going to avoid small aircraft hot tubs, canoeing in any water in DC, and what else should I be on the lookout for?

3:01:04 What are you doing? Well, I laid out the vape wars. I explained the scandal. Oh. And I took it, and I've become like a hero of the vape community all of a sudden. Uh-oh. Sitting in his car before the Rogan show. What should he talk about? He didn't know. But he got out the car. He was living the dream. He had an idea. For the non-life's dream Adam blew a thick cloud From his favorite vape And then he pulled it off His favorite vape and came Up to vape wars In the second hour And once he hit that blunt He knew for sure That he had to protect The bad vape in his hand So he went on

3:02:07 But Longfait wore his red, he exposed Iquos on the big show And now he's on the run from Arbor Road So he ran back, he ain't never gonna stop, he's gonna keep on talkin' But it's probably gonna happen.

3:03:01 And the vape community is like I'm the hero I'm the hero of the vapors But as I was thinking about it and actually Rogan made me think about it He says this is like kind of like who killed the electric car and I thought to myself. Oh crap. I gotta be careful Yeah, yeah, I'd be stay out of the hot tubs The best podcast in the universe! They've gone nuts.
