No Agenda Episode 1228 Introduction and Economic Indicators

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open episode 1228 of the No Agenda show from Austin, Texas and Silicon Valley. They discuss the "Zephyr" train car count as a local economic indicator, noting a drop to seven cars. A satirical advertisement for a 1-900 number explains Dvorak's Law regarding the quality and price of sex workers during economic downturns.

Well that is indeed worrisome...the standard

00:40 Normal economic Zephyr measure is nine cars. Yes, ten is good economy Nine is as good eight is weak Yeah and seven I don't think we've ever had a seven car. I've never seen it seven It was like the thing shows up and boom there it goes. It's only seven cars. I don't think anyone was even on it People are freaked out, man! There's something else we have to look at then since you know we have many indicators that we've developed over the years with this show that really seem to be incredibly accurate. I'd like to know about another economic indicator... Well hello

01:25 During this time of social distancing and economic uncertainty, you have questions about how it's affected Dvorak's Law. You know the one! We have the answers you need.

CHAPTER 02 / 46 Discussion

CARES Act Analysis and Bernie Sanders Senate Floor Speech

The hosts analyze the 880-page CARES Act, focusing on the $1,200 stimulus checks and expanded unemployment benefits. They review a clip of Senator Bernie Sanders criticizing Republican colleagues, including Lindsay Graham, who argued that increased unemployment pay might disincentivize work. The discussion disputes Sanders' claims regarding historical tax breaks for the wealthy, citing anecdotal evidence from a CPA.

02:25 Yes, thank you. Damn me a San Francisco used to see these streetwalkers there used to be here and there but they I don't know Oh Man as Dame Jennifer, I didn't know she had such a great voice Oh, that's funny. I didn't know that was her either. Oh she could do some voiceover work Yeah, I'll say this sounds like she might have done one of these before Just saying it You live there in South Carolina oh man so much going on last night I spent well actually late last night has spent quite some time looking at the 880 page cares act cares C-a-r-e-s cares Act

03:12 This is pretty incredible what they've done here. I'm all ears Yeah People are actually gonna get checks and and not just yeah, did you get? I mean you couldn't obviously read every word in that thing but it wasn't just a lot of cheesy gotchas in there No no like what Like they're gonna, you know require gas emission standards and no they have all these little other aspects. The board of directors any company getting any money has to have a number of minorities on it No, no, no, you're at your whole round behind Yeah, cuz and I really must say I've just been watching C-SPAN. I've been watching Of course around Yeah, you're around behind here's what happened the Senate

04:05 came up with a bill and that would have been Sunday, was it Sunday night or Monday? I can't remember exactly. And they...and it's kind of what is now the official act And the idea was to pass it in the Senate and then the House would just go by majority without a vote present in the House of Representatives. So, just for people who don't know the process typically a bill first goes through the House of Representatives then it goes to the Senate Then they come up with the combined bill Then it goes to the President for signing so in this case The Senate had at first

04:44 And apparently, either Pelosi or the Democrats at large—I'm not sure who exactly—wanted to delay this. And the way they delayed it is... and I went through this, I did find, you know, not search-and-replace but I went looking for the similarities These were literally pieces that just taken out of the Green New Deal bill and just copy-and-pasted with a search and replace to put in, to combat coronavirus. But it was only a delaying tactic measure and what happened subsequently is that all the Republican senators like, whoa they want this! They want that! Well that's what you would do of course by the way this effort just went by okay and? Seven

05:32 double sevens on a show day, I'm worried. So this was the only reason for them to do this is to make sure that it would never ever pass anything And it was just a tactic to shove back and say, okay stop we want to have some hand in this. It gives everybody a chance to politicize a little bit and then we go through two days of negotiation they come up with something that is I'd say reasonable. I mean within reason of four trillion dollars being made available as prop-up power for the Federal Reserve and then over two trillion dollars

06:13 to American businesses and workers. What they did a good job on, so good in fact that it was one of the final sticking points was on getting the actual people money including gig workers you know so right down to your part-time uber driver unemployment Doubles from $300 a week to $600 a week and anyone who makes up to $79,000 actually it's really up to $99,000 but there is some leeway there will receive $1200 every child. $500 so a household of four you could wind up somewhere around three maybe thirty-three hundred dollars all depends

07:00 So, well hold up. This unemployment thing became a stickler? Well here's what this is what I'm getting to the stickler point was if you count it all up and you look at it on a weekly or by monthly basis Some people who are making $12 might be making more than they made previously. And we had a group of Republicans headed by Lindy Hop Graham, who said no no no! We can't have this. This cannot happen because that will incentivize people to not work Because they'd be making more by just staying home. Of course people who work and get their Their stipend from the government will be making out fabulously This is what the final point was last night and Bernie Sanders took to the floor, and now I find that some of my Republican colleagues are very distressed They're very upset but somebody who's making 10 12 bucks an hour might end up with a paycheck for four months

08:03 more than they received last week. Oh my God, the universe is collapsing! Imagine that somebody who's making 12 bucks an hour now like the rest of us faces an unprecedented economic crisis with the 600 bucks on top of their normal-their regular unemployment check might be making a few bucks more for four months. Oh my word! Will the universe survive? How absurd and wrong is that, what kind of value system is that meanwhile these very same folks had no problem a couple years ago

08:45 voting for a trillion dollars in tax breaks for billionaires and large profitable corporations. Not a problem! But when it comes to low-income workers, in the midst of a terrible crisis maybe some of them earning or having more money than they previously made Oh my word we gotta strip that out Gotta tell those poor people that no matter what By the way when this bill, when McConnell Bill first came up Unbelievably, and I know many Republicans objected to this. They were saying that well we want to give a whatever was $1,000 or $1200 but poor people should get less

09:25 You see, because poor people are down here. They don't deserve... they don't eat! They don't pay rent! They're somehow inferior because they're poor and we're going to give them less Well that was addressed now everybody is gonna get the $1200 but some of my Republican friends still have not given up on the need to punish the poor and working people you haven't raised a minimum wage in 10 years Minimum wage should be at least 15 bucks an hour. You haven't done that! You've cut program after program after program, and now horror of horrors for four months workers might be earning

10:00 A few bucks more than they otherwise went. And I'm not sure exactly how it works in the Senate, but Sanders could definitely hold up the bill being voted on by standing down the floor and doing this. You know what bothers me about Sanders is that he uses his polemics always include some lie And the law I refer to is... The tax breaks. The tax breaks for the rich, which never existed and we know that for a fact because we have an attorney or I'm sorry, an accountant in our midst who does the richest of the richest tax forms and or tax accounts whatever you have this opinion. Tax returns. Yes, sure. Tax returns that's it.

10:46 And so this is just nonsense and so it always bugs me that when you have a... Well, we'll finish the story that our CPA he's getting calls or was getting calls at the time of billionaires saying hey how come I'm paying more? Why am i not paying less?! Exactly. And this is the thing that left tends to do and they just can't seem to get off doing it This is like, you know repeating false Trump narratives over and over and over again It said because the argument is fine without that Yeah So why do you throw that in? You know and that's a point because throughout this whole process which I really followed very closely multiple screens, you know watching C-SPAN Senate watching the Watching what was going on in cable news

CHAPTER 03 / 46 Discussion

Small Business Loans and Corporate Oversight in Stimulus Bill

A detailed breakdown of the Small Business Administration (SBA) loan program explains how businesses can receive forgivable grants for three months of payroll. The hosts contrast this with the $500 billion corporate loan fund, noting specific provisions that prevent members of the Trump administration or Congress from benefiting. They criticize Nancy Pelosi's media appearances regarding oversight of these funds.

small business administration· sba loans· payroll protection· boeing· jared kushner· nancy pelosi· treasury department

11:32 Politicians always slipping little bits in. If I hear Republican slush fund for big corporations one more time, we're going to get sick to my stomach. It's like okay, we get it! In the bill itself there are some interesting things you know... community of producers. You know, we have the CPA who does... well actually that's the... well I shouldn't say it... The CPA who does the richest tax returns. Producer Dave Jones, who has a dude named Ben at a CPA firm he really in and a couple sentences said all the small business loan scheme is fantastic this is another part of the bill

12:17 So I'm just going to leave the $500 Republican slush fund for companies over here for a second. But for small business, so that's your restaurant...I love the example of hardware store by the way. They hear this all the time you go to your local hardware store now there's no more local hardware stores everyone goes to Lowe's or Home Depot but your local businesses they'll be able to do the following The Small Business Administration loans which can be, you can go to the bank. I guess as soon as this is passed, and you can get from your bank a small business loan immediately. You don't have to show your cash flow or any of your business results it's backed by the federal government and it's alone that converts to a grant so the way it works is you estimate your payroll for the next three months apply that amount to the loan you want to take out anything you don't use by July 1st you'd give back

13:20 everything else is free. So basically three months of tax-free payroll, that is big and according to Dave CPA firms all over the country are going to be applying for these loans on behalf of their clients he says it's a free money bonanza which it is but I think those parts of the bill are good and it's gonna work. To the 500 billion dollars for loans to big companies, so this is where we're talking about Boeing. We're talking about the entire hospitality sector The bill specifically states they had to do it that any business controlled or owned by any member of the administration Any member of Congress for that matter

14:08 any member of staff or their family and they went out of their way to say including son-in-laws I see you Jared Kushner can't benefit from the loan scheme for this from the CARES Act so it's just so fucking petty we get it Trump orange man bad we get it. Well, they did they made a big point on PBS NewsHour Which has just gotten to be it's gotten worse and worse they had Pelosi on Babbling her way I tried to get clips from it but it just that's not as hard There's nothing to get impossible. They had her on for 20 minutes she was promoting the Democrat and Democrats And how they are really responsible for all this

CHAPTER 04 / 46 Discussion

Legislative Delay Tactics and House Voting Procedures

The discussion covers the perceived delay tactics used by House Democrats, alleging that elements of the Green New Deal were inserted into early drafts of the relief bill. Following a 96-0 Senate vote, the hosts examine the logistical challenges of the House passing the bill, including the possibility of proxy voting or unanimous consent while members are away from Washington.

14:55 And it was just pathetic and they went on and on about Trump was specifically named, you know because that was important to him. Because he's gonna rip us off! Well what they wanted before the final bill was written, the Democrats wanted to have like some mechanism that would give them an oversight committee that would be next to the Treasury 24-7 and had full subpoena an impeachment power if one dollar, if one dollar went to Trump or whatever. I mean so there was moronic stuff by the way I think I got the ISO from Bernie from that clip Oh my god! The universe is collapsing possible ISO

15:42 It's a little long. A little long, it's possible I think oh my god would just suffice We can always use that You know so there's stuff for hospitals in there On the surface of it what of course I wasn't able to completely get through everything but I've also you know seen trustworthy analysis, at least that I trust. And it seems like this is pretty much spot on. Will it work? Will be enough? Who knows who knows that I think that depends more on when we get back to work than anything but it wasn't filled with any of the crazy...

16:19 And they wanted all airlines to pay for carbon offset for every flight they made. All of that got... but that was all Green New Deal and it was just a delay, and that's what really pissed me off I think a lot of people. It was just...and then of course accentuated by the Republican senators who were like cotton going on for oh hours and hours about all these crazy things they want. Everyone knew it was just the delay tactic, but actually a lot of people miss that cycle But then we went to the past day and a half and then last night late last night 96-0 couple of senators were self quarantining It passes The House says yeah We'll vote on it Friday because now they have to do all kinds of you know who knows

17:07 But they're gonna push it off just a little bit longer. They're not there! Yeah, they can do it by proxy... maybe they're using today to figure it out? Or they should just pass it 96-0 in the Senate, just go no no no. They can't pass it because they're not there and it's illegal. Okay so that's why they want to do it I don't know the exact mechanisms, but the two ways to do it were one with approved proxy voting which apparently can be made legal and you can do it by not requiring a vote in the House by tally. But it could be a unanimous decision somehow that magically Nancy Pelosi makes happen." I wish I knew... They won't yes they

17:54 There are mechanisms, there's no doubt about it. Because we've seen it and we have excerpts from years ago where some House member would come up and blather off some crazy thing during one of those periods of open discussion. And he'd just say all kinds of crazy stuff. And it was a yes, you know, bang, bang, bang the gavel a few times or something. Massive bill was just passed right in the middle of chat time What I worry about and what I think will happen is the Democrats who rule the House, of course, will have to get their word in.

CHAPTER 05 / 46 Discussion

Ventilator Shortages and Technical Operator Requirements

The hosts argue that the media's focus on the raw number of ventilators ignores the critical shortage of trained respiratory technicians required to operate them. They question the projected need for 50,000 hospital beds in California by May. The segment critiques the push for automotive companies like General Motors and Ford to manufacture medical devices without addressing the personnel gap.

18:30 At this point, it's no longer about actually helping anybody. This is done! We don't even really have to look at the bill as far as I'm concerned...I will of course but that's just level one dividing up the money Everybody has got their piece Yeah we've got good pieces for American businesses and for American workers Everything else who the hell knows? Now its about what are we going to do next How is this situation going to be taken advantage of to further multiple agendas That's that's where my focus is and just as I got to get something off my chest because I heard a couple interviews. I was listening to a lot of different podcasts in the past couple of days this incessant hammering on ventilators is Let me tell you this hates it

19:18 This incessant hammering on we need more, we need 5,000 6,000 7,000 10,000 30. How many ventilators do we need? And this has become a metric and the press asks about face masks and ventilators! But here's the problem why is no one asking how many ventilator operators we have?! This is it this is a technician level job. It says not something you read the manual you jump in you can do with one technician I think it's a respiratory ventilator technician, can operate about 10 devices simultaneously. No one is asking you and if you go ahead and look on the job listings three four five hundred different listings for ventilator operators no one seems concerned about that but i don't think it's really true

20:08 There's, what is it? 3,000 cases in California. Am I right more or less? I don't have the numbers in front of me But you'll need 50,000 beds by May 1st Are you kidding me?! This doesn't make sense by any stretch of the imagination Most of it doesn't make sense By any stretch of the imagination, and you're right about that. And the ventilator thing... I'm glad you mentioned it because it's gotten to me too It's like the ventilator is in itself some sort of a metric Yeah! Even though this useless system... It's useless without operators General Motors is going to be making them and Fords gonna make them That's crazy. With that in mind just on data and stuff we are being given Because its very hard

CHAPTER 06 / 46 Discussion

Michael Osterholm Joe Rogan Interview and Pandemic Modeling

The hosts revisit a March 10 interview between Joe Rogan and infectious disease expert Michael Osterholm. They criticize Osterholm's reliance on the Imperial College model, which predicted 48 million hospitalizations and 480,000 deaths in the United States. The discussion characterizes these projections as fear-mongering and compares the current COVID-19 death toll to seasonal influenza.

20:54 Humans have a hard problem or tough time in general understanding macro numbers and the largesse of something, or something that seems large which isn't. Like this still is reasonably blown out of proportion 17 million views I think on Joe Rogan's interview with Michael Osterholm And this is the guy he was on like two shows after I was on with Joe This guy pops on and I think this freaked out in an ordinant, a huge amount of... It's inordinate. Thank you. Inordinate amount of young people. An inordinate amount of... A lot of young people were freaked out by this And i just want to revisit what he said three weeks ago March 10th Just off the bat how serious is this? Is this something that we need to be terrified of or

21:47 overblown or how do you stand on this? Well first of all, you have to understand the timing in a sense that it is just beginning. And so in terms of what hurt pain suffering death has happened so far is really just beginning Okay, arguably true This is gonna unfold for months to come yet And that's I think what people don't quite yet understand and so this really is acting like an influenza virus something that transmits very very easily through the air We now have data to show that you're infectious before even get sick. I'm not so sure was ever proven That it is completely trans transmittable through the air other than water droplets or if someone spits in your face

22:26 And he claims... Well I think that's what they meant. They don't mean you're just exhaling some CO2 and you can get, get the disease. You have to sneeze, you have to cough In some cases quite highly infectious just breathing is all that you need to do Is that what you just said? No, just well wait a minute. I'm not gonna out defend him because I should Yes if somebody coughs and there's a little droplet cuz there's millions of them when you sneeze for example And you're just breathing You would breathe one of those droplets in okay? All right Well the way I interpreted it was if you were contagious and your just breathing you could transfer it But I don't believe that

23:04 And in some cases, quite highly infectious. Just breathing is all that you need to do So from this perspective I can understand why people would say well wait a minute flu kills a lot more itself every year than this does and our Remind people there's just the beginning probably the best guesstimate we have right now on what limited data We have to say this could be at least 10 to 15 times worse or the worst seasonal flu year we see 10 to 15 times which you know now is completely untrue. I want to bring back my point, which was that we've had these two co-existent bacteria or bacteria viruses coexist in the same population

23:42 The flu is outpacing it for deaths and I want to mention a couple of things first of all Can I just play the last 30 seconds because it'll fight fit right in with what you're saying Just listen to his actual numbers here. We see 10 to 15 times worse in terms of fatalities Yeah, yeah And just illness in fact I just brought some numbers we I just brought some numbers here comes the modeling numbers based upon the imperial model You can certainly estimate that this could and require 48 million hospitalizations, 96 million cases actually occurring over 480 thousand deaths. Well now, it's just beginning. Can't wait for those numbers to not come true! That can occur over the next three to seven months with this situation so this is not one that take lightly and I think thats what i can understand if you say there have only been 10 deaths or 20 deaths or 50 deaths Just remember two weeks ago we were talking about almost no cases in the United States and now that we're testing for it and watching the spread as its unfolding those numbers are going up astronomically

24:44 So it was this kind of reporting where he just, oh I got some numbers for you and reports 48 million people will have it. 90 million people or 48 hospitalizations, 90 million will have it 480 000 deaths You better hurry up to hit your first three-month target Yeah more dead than in World War II so let's uh well actually about World War II Let's well you were saying something about them about the numbers and about flu outpacing coronavirus. First of all, the flu and the Corona have been co-existent for awhile And the flu is outpacing it in deaths how do you account for that? Nobody does I want to stop here and It...I am sick

CHAPTER 07 / 46 Discussion

Computer Modeling Reliability and C-SPAN Expert Lecture

A discussion on the inherent flaws of computer modeling references a past C-SPAN lecture by a modeling expert who warned against using such tools for social or environmental policy. The hosts argue that models used for both climate change and pandemic projections are frequently inaccurate and should not be used to drive public fear or policy decisions.

computer models· c-span· brookings institute· global warming· data extrapolation· predictive analytics

25:23 of computer models that are designed to scare the public. They're bullcrap, this has been happening with the global warming thing is all computer models it's got nothing to do with reality and every time it's checked against reality none of the computer models work except apparently for some Russian model which shows none of the numbers that we keep getting told This is a challenge for the community. If anybody likes C-SPAN, they might wanna try this because I have been working on this and I have not done it. I can't do it, I can't find it. About seven years ago, C-SPAN had one of their during the congressional breaks they have these little specials that you see a lot of hearings and meetings at Brookings Institute all kinds of stuff like that

26:10 there was a guy who is a major computer modeling expert that came on C-SPAN and gave a lecture to a small group showing how the community that is involved with computer models does not trust them at all, and they should never be. And he said specifically they should never be used for certain things such as what we're using them for to the global warming thing, this coronavirus extrapolation of how many people are going to drop dead next week. These computer models are not supposed to be used for these things. And this guy went on and on about, I cannot for the life of me and I know it's in there somewhere C-SPAN has it find this guy and his lecture but that was his message is that computer models should not be used for these purposes and that's all they're being used for. I read a quote all computer models are wrong some are helpful

CHAPTER 08 / 46 Discussion

Dr. Deborah Birx and Washington Post Fashion Profile

The hosts highlight Dr. Deborah Birx's role as the White House COVID-19 response coordinator, noting her focus on therapeutics and future vaccine cycles. They criticize a Washington Post profile that focused on her attire and scarves rather than her medical expertise, labeling the coverage as misogynistic compared to the treatment of other politicians.

deborah birx· white house task force· washington post· nancy pelosi· vaccines· monoclonal antibodies· fashion journalism

27:14 And that's probably true. That's probably true, I would agree that's probably what they're for yeah Dr Burks who still receives almost zero coverage or serious coverage even though she is the coordinator the COVID-19 response coordinator for the White House She mentioned this yesterday and the day before i think this is from the day before about the reporting on infection rate and what we should expect in full infection. I wanted to say one other thing because you see a lot of numbers out there about 70% of the population is going to get infected or 60 percent of the population based on those models understand that the way you get to that number is you do nothing

28:00 And it goes through three cycles. So they're talking about this cycle that we're currently in, another cycle in 2021 and a third cycle in 21-22 in order to get that level of population infected And you know we will have vaccines most likely by the 21-22 season. And we're going to hopefully have therapeutics in the fall of next season, so the reason why were so much focused on blunting piece is if the virus comes back we'll have much more facility both for diagnosis, testing monoclonal antibodies treatments and then the vaccine. So if only they would play one of those clips of hers somewhere in the coverage instead The Washington Post did a profile

28:51 Deborah Birx has a style that is always in fashion, competent and reassuring. Oh yeah! The Fashion Editor highlighted Dr. Birx. Birx does not wear the typical Washington Power uniform No her tone is gentle but firm from her background as a diplomat she's skilled in soft force the art of getting people to do what they want them to do without having them think it was their brilliant ideal all along She stands out on what was a distressingly crowded stage until recently thinned out. Women are in the minority during these public expositions, but she's distinctive because of her attire."

29:26 And they go into this whole thing about, Berks doesn't dress like a lady politician in jewel-toned suits and statement jewelry. She doesn't wear power dresses—those sleek sheaths that are critical part of the House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's professional wardrobe. She doesn't turn up in a white coat! I mean it just goes on and on about her scarves which I agree with But this is the person who is the coordinator of the COVID-19 response. This is the most misogynistic thing I've seen! They're not even taking a woman seriously for the job that she's doing and the things she has to say

30:06 Point well taken. That said, she does look fabulous! She's a legend in post what do you expect? She does look fabulous I'll have to say. Bezos. She's got it all together. Says the guy has no influence. I wanted to correct you on something...I was listening to DH Unplugged and all of a sudden the genesis of the April 6 lifting of the cower at home restrictions changed All of a sudden the former New York banker gets credit and what is wrong? That was door with no it was you literally you you literally said in New York Well, I said yes. You did well do you have the clip oh

Easter Reopening Goal and Media Briefing Bans

The segment discusses President Trump's stated goal of reopening the country by Easter Sunday. The hosts note that after MSNBC and CNN stopped carrying live briefings, Trump held a virtual town hall on Fox News, which prompted the other networks to resume coverage. They also mention the extension of stay-at-home orders in Austin, Texas, until April 13.

30:50 I'm, will you just believe me that I'd listen to it? Okay. You can stammer and... But let's say I did that what he was wondering where you came up with this Yes! And so I said well i think of what happened and I gave a suppositions and then I know that this probably wasn't accurate but it was just to get to change the topic It is not big deal as just away from me to bridge into reminding everybody how we came up with Okay, good. I'm glad you did and I'll be-I can renew my myself... I can renew my own information And? I have a clip which I mentioned the part about the 60 days after the bill passed or 30 days after the bill passed I mentioned that John it's okay

31:34 Let's just play it exactly as it was. And, it was the $8.3 billion bill which was signed on March 6th-March 8th we looked at the bill and said that majority of money had to be spent within 30 days I think its just SARS too! Here is a prediction I make and I think its fairly good one This was signed on Friday the 6th, so by April 6 this should all be over. 30 days from now it's all done everyone has their money we know what has to be spent the important money has to be spent here because

32:11 Adler within hours is already acting like it's party time. So that was the genesis of it, was the 30-day clock Of course none of that really makes sense anymore in light of the two trillion dollars I know! It's like small potatoes eight billion But I think we're still going to start easing on the 6th for the simple reason that the president obviously said he wanted to have that done by the 12th. Because we have to do that I'd love to have it open by Easter OK, I would love to have it open by Easter. I will tell you that right now. I would love to have that such an important day for other reasons but i'll make it an important day for this too. I would love to have the country opened up and just raring to go by Easter That would be a great American resurrection two-and-a-half plus weeks from now. That's Fox of course

33:10 And something about this briefing, which was called a virtual town hall. The day before for some reason MSNBC and CNN decided they were not going to carry any more Trump briefings live Fox carried it live and they didn't So the next day, Trump did an exclusive with Fox. Well that ended the ban pretty quick over at MSNBC and CNN And why they wouldn't want to air it is beyond me Okay it's tedious It's annoying It's repetitive And thats just the journalists So the president wants it opened by the 12th. So immediately we get our cower in place order in Austin until April 13th, you know We're just gonna add one more day just to spite the guy I think why? You're right. Just despite him. These guys are crazy Yeah, they've gone, you know here's what one of the things that's going on that should be noted and it's driving everybody nuts is

CHAPTER 10 / 46 Discussion

Historical 80-Year Cycles and FEMA Director Gaffe

A theory is presented regarding 80-year cycles in American history, linking the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and World War II to the current crisis. The hosts play a clip of FEMA Director Pete Gaynor accidentally saying the government is taking steps to "attack" the health and safety of Americans before correcting himself to "protect."

80-year cycle· american revolution· civil war· world war ii· fema· national guard· pete gaynor

34:14 Now, the idea was is that you get this COVID thing and you let it get out of control. And then the president botches everything and they get him out of office or maybe even better he gets the disease and you could 25th Amendment him which is by the way Fauci said that he might get it Did you see some comment this morning? Of course, of course. Fauci makes some comments like someone's gonna bump into him and prick him with the pricker and give them a case of this thing so it's that his... The problem is that they don't understand the mechanism when I finally figured out what's going on in terms of my cycles theories which i don't discuss too much on the show but

34:57 because some of the cycles have gotten so skewed by the government interference with the economy. But every 80 years, we've had some incident in this country that has been seminal in the formation of the country itself. The country started with an American Revolution and you go 80 years from there, you have the US Civil War and that changed things And then 80 years from there, we have World War II exactly to the date. And that changed things because after that we developed... We opened up and became a security state from 1947 on because of all the NSA...

35:34 creation of the CIA, the NSA and everything in between. And so that's changed things 20 years later I'm always expecting well there has got to be another war because these things always seem to be war oriented you had your revolution then you had a civil war then you have World War II and now we're going to some other kind of crazy war against the Muslims or who knows what? No this is it! Yes, and I have a clip to back it up that this may even happen from our own government services attacking us. Here's the FEMA director. And finally little bit about the National Guard The federal government continues to take aggressive action and proactive steps To address the COVID-19 threat as we attack or protect the health and safety of American people

36:19 You gotta play that one more time so people are aware they got a scotchy in there. The truth always wants to come out! And finally, little bit about the National Guard... The federal government continues to take aggressive action and proactive steps to address the COVID-19 threat as we attack the health and safety or protect the health and safety of American people it remains our top priority It's our top priority! Attack him I tell ya! Attack him! Oh oh I almost forgot The V-shape recovery. acceptability numbers go skyrocketing and keep going up and up and it is driving everyone nuts. Ooh, I have a clip just for that from Andrea Mitchell There is politics involved we've heard very little from for instance the more likely most likely nominee of the Democratic Party Joe Biden he's having difficulty getting projecting through this crisis as campaign goes totally on hold We're also seeing some polls indicating the president

CHAPTER 11 / 46 Discussion

Trump Approval Ratings and South Korea Testing Comparisons

The hosts discuss Andrea Mitchell's report on President Trump's "skyrocketing" approval ratings among independents and some Democrats. They critique a PBS NewsHour segment featuring Yamiche Alcindor, who compared U.S. testing numbers to South Korea's per capita rates, arguing the media is biased against acknowledging American progress in testing capacity.

andrea mitchell· yamiche alcindor· pbs newshour· south korea· covid testing· polling· approval ratings

37:30 approval ratings among Democrats and independents skyrocketing to their highest levels yet. It's some 60% approval ratings for the way he is handling this crisis as he continues to hold these briefings. The briefings are working for the president, no matter what he says people seem Seeing him as a leader at least more people do listen to the response this douche Yeah, you know Andrea you and I share a healthy skepticism on public polling And I think you know what polling shows right now. It's not gonna be what happens right? Right all of sudden we believe in oh polling yeah That's no good man only when Hillary is gonna win 98% Oh, and I have it. I have a similar clip about this turnaround away things are looked at here

38:15 I don't want to shift gears completely, but before you do it because you're going to go into the V recovery. I was listening again and kind of really upset about the PBS turning in this kind of a propaganda arm or the Democrat Party has just really gone off the rails and i'm almost over the opinion that Whoever got Gwen Ifill out of the way, she died unfortunately and they gave her a stamp. I'm gonna go buy those stamps and use them. The post office has a Gwen Ifill stamp. It's dynamite so okay so here's an example now we've already known about you know that oh You know the South Koreans they kicked ass it is such a better job than everything you know We couldn't do anything like that blah blah blah And now listen to this This is the clip odd testing fact

39:05 shows bias. And this evening, President Trump held another briefing on COVID-19, this time declaring victory on the pandemic aid package still being held up in Congress. But let's turn right now to our Yamiche Alcindor who has been listening in. So Yamiche we know the White House was has been involved in those negotiations on the Hill what are they saying about where things stand right now? Well, just a few moments ago at the White House President Trump said he would sign the $2 trillion coronavirus bill if it was sent to him immediately. So he was urging the house and Senate to move quickly One thing that was remarkable The Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said even though this two trillion dollar bill would be the largest stimulus package passed by Congress If it passes He said it would only keep the economy afloat for three months The president said if we have to go back- Stop stop stop

39:55 This clip has not been edited correctly. I clipped too much of it go about halfway through and then start playing it from there That's right Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said this is a bill to get people back to work We're we are fine with unemployment benefits, and we want it to go forward the president said I will sign it immediately And then also quickly Yamiche we know the president and others at the briefing spoke about The status of the fight against the coronavirus what are they saying? Well, the president was praising that the job that he's been doing and he talked specifically about testing. Here's what he said. We're also doing some very large testings throughout the country. I told you yesterday that in South Korea this is not a knock in any way because if I just spoke with President Moon we had a very good conversation about numerous other things but

40:52 They've done a very good job in testing, but we now are doing more testing than anybody by far. We do more in eight days than they do in eight weeks Just a quick fact check here President Trump is saying the United States is doing more testing But South Korea is six times. It's only one-sixth of population of the United States They're doing more testing per capita than the United States also, the United States was slow at testing So this is testing being ramped up That's why we're now testing so many people Judy important point testing is now ramping up that's why were testings This is complete bullcrap Not only that, but she brings up this one-sixth the size although she says six times. She botches a lot by the way I can't believe she's on the air But she says one and she says 1 6 to size and goes what was the? One sixth of size when they were praising South Korea for doing all this great things

CHAPTER 12 / 46 Discussion

Robert Levinson Death and Media Bias in Reporting

The hosts examine the reporting on the death of former FBI agent Robert Levinson in Iranian custody. They contrast a straightforward news brief with a version from PBS that included a critical mention of President Trump's lack of knowledge about the death, using it as an example of unnecessary media politicization.

robert levinson· fbi· iran· cia· pbs newshour· new york times· intelligence

41:45 testing and being way ahead because we all got infected at the same time. That was never mentioned, but now because we're doing more it's mentioned this is a classic example I want to give you one more of these from PBS because it's like they can't stop themselves. This is the same clip I'm going to play twice This is the clip, it's called... this is not about anything other than just a separate news story. This is about the dead CIA guy I don't remember anything about him but it. I kind of do and this is, I got too close. I want you to play the minus kicker. This is just a straight up 24 second story dead CIA guy minus kicker." In the day's other news the family of one-time FBI agent Robert Levinson says U.S officials now believe that he died in custody in Iran. Levinson disappeared there in 2007 on an unauthorized mission for the CIA. Iran never acknowledged holding him but

42:44 The New York Times and others are reporting now new intelligence shows he died in the last few years. Okay, okay so that's the story right? That's done! Yeah that's the story well we can't leave it at that We play the other one now? So we'll play the same story but instead of just leaving the story lie, we have to do some little dig at Trump. In today's other news, a family of one-time FBI agent Robert Levinson says U.S officials now believe that he died in custody in Iran. Levinson disappeared there in 2007 on an unauthorized mission for the CIA. Iran never acknowledged holding him but

43:27 The New York Times and others are reporting now new intelligence shows he died in the last few years. President Trump said this evening that no one has told him that Levinson is dead. What does that have to do with anything? Nothing, but it leads me into more of this hate and really focusing on things that don't benefit their viewers or people interested in getting actual information. And this started with I believe it was Monday or Tuesday the team came out for a briefing and oh the horrors! Oh the horrors!

CHAPTER 13 / 46 Discussion

Dr. Anthony Fauci Media Narrative and WMAL Interview

The segment addresses the media's portrayal of Dr. Anthony Fauci as a "foil" to President Trump. The hosts play a clip from a WMAL interview where Fauci expresses frustration with the media's attempts to create distance between him and the President. They also discuss Fauci's professional ties to the Gates Foundation and Gilead Sciences.

anthony fauci· chris cuomo· cnn· wmal· bill gates foundation· gilead sciences· vaccine development

44:05 Fauci was not on stage. Dr. Fauci, the voice of reason that people who we just what we can't do without him because Trump's a crazy! Now this was after a weekend of Fauci doing several interviews in which the headlines and boy headlines are bad these days headline was I can't just jump in front of the mic on stage Although that was completely unrelated to any question about vaccine or chloroquine or anything like that. That became the headline and of course everyone points to The Times and then they do their own version of it, but before you know it Fauci is saving the world! Without him Trump will kill us all! Chris Cuomo as an example... I'm not seeing Dr Anthony Fauci on stage today

44:58 worried me and it should worry you. You know the doctor now, he's a member of the Coronavirus Task Force Director of The National Institute Of Allergy And Infectious Diseases but more than that he has become like America's grandpa He gives conscience and comfort and fact to this country and uniquely so Instead today in his absence we got this Where is Dr Parachieff right now? Why isn't there a briefing where will he attend future ones I was just with him for a long time Oh, he's at the task force meeting right now. We have a task force meeting. Does he agree with you about the need to reopen the economy soon? Well, he doesn't not agree He doesn't not agree I don't know what that means but it doesn't matter and here's why is Dr Fauci important to our economic decisions No Why would we make Fauci a foil to Trump

45:48 Why would we not want to do that? Do you know what's more dangerous than COVID? Telling the truth about Trump as a member of the executive branch. No one survives that! Why put Fauci in a position of having to admit that Trump is wrong or lying when we already know that to be the case?! You literally sometimes leave Fauci with no good answer other than, What do you want me to do?" The answer to his question is, help us get through this. Fauci must be kept bigger than the politics of Trump just as our collective well-being has led us away from the petty gripes and calls from coast to coast for lawmakers to be not right or left but reasonable More dangerous than COVID 19 itself I'm telling you! Oh my god! So Fauci... I'm gonna give you a clip of the day for finding that one Well it wasn't hard

46:39 Well, you listen to MSNBC. I don't. Oh that's CNN. So by Tuesday Fauci had had more than enough of it because he is just trying to keep his $100 million partnership with the Gates Foundation and Gilead on track to get their vaccine and the was on WMAL in Washington DC.

47:31 to sort of emphasize differences of opinion in a way that creates distance between you and the president. Are you sensing that as the media continually asks you questions about the differences you have with him? That is really unfortunate. I would wish that that would stop because we have a much bigger problem here than trying to point out differences They're really fundamentally at the core when you look at things there are not Differences the president has listened to what? the other people on the task force have said when I've made recommendations, he's taken them. He never countered or overridden me." The idea of just pitting one against the other is just not helpful and wish that would stop but we'd look ahead at the challenge we have to pull together to get over this thing. So there you go. He's a little tired of it. The president is smart though! He's really playing the media in an interesting way

CHAPTER 14 / 46 Discussion

Al Sharpton and Donald Trump Phone Call

Reverend Al Sharpton reports on a phone call he received from President Trump to discuss the impact of the pandemic on vulnerable populations and the incarcerated. The hosts suggest that Sharpton's shift to a more conciliatory tone is a reaction to Trump's rising approval ratings in recent public polling.

al sharpton· donald trump· criminal justice· pandemic response· msnbc· political polling

48:29 He's backed off a lot on the fake news, unless it's for instance the question you heard in The White House Reporter. But I came across this little gem. and the incarcerated amid the COVID-19 crisis. To my surprise, President Donald Trump called me to discuss it. He and I have exchanged some very contentious words over the last several years, and though we have not changed our view of each other, we did talk about the fact that in the midst of this pandemic people

49:10 that may be on different sides politically must discuss and try to come to some kind of common ground, to deal with those in this country and around the world that are most vulnerable. For that to be committed... You know but this is a very different tone. Reverend Al was typically Trump did this! Trump me her! And now he's like well you know we're all together in this When they look at the numbers and see Trump's approval rating skyrocketing, which is the word that Andrea Mitchell used for Democrats. They change you know they start to back off because they realize that they're gonna get themselves into trouble

CHAPTER 15 / 46 Discussion

Wuhan Reopening and Chinese Espionage Indictments

The hosts discuss the scheduled reopening of Wuhan on April 8 and the exclusion of asymptomatic cases from China's official counts. They also revisit the January arrest of Harvard Professor Charles Lieber and two Chinese nationals for their undisclosed ties to the Chinese government and the People's Liberation Army.

wuhan· hubei province· asymptomatic cases· harvard university· charles lieber· people's liberation army· espionage

49:56 I'd like to now move over to the April 6th, which I think arguably is too early but based upon just where we're at. I think it's still fair to say within some you know within a couple days 8th may be more likely. Wuhan is opening up. Man, this is a major development these strict lockdowns have been in place in Hubei province since January 23rd now we finally have a date for when this lockdown will be removed the date is April 8th This means people will now be allowed to leave the city leave who big province lead the original epicenter

50:32 center of this outbreak. We have been reporting in the ensuing days gradual policies to ease restrictions, we reported several days ago that residents would be allowed to leave Wuhan after proving that they're virus free by getting a nucleic acid test and getting a health certificate it's not clear however despite the removal of this lockdown, that transmissions have been totally cut off despite the fact that official counts in Wuhan have slowed to just zero or a few in the past several days. And the reason why I say that is because according to a report from Caixin there are still a few to a dozen asymptomatic cases people who are being diagnosed every day in Wuhan because unlike South Korea China does not include asymptomatic infections in its official count

51:17 That's interesting. They never included asymptomatic in their count, which would... Why? Well it will give you a higher morbidity rate that's for sure. But why would you want...? No! To make it look scary?! This is a crisis of testing. That's what the whole thing was about, was test test test and now we go oh my god it's spiking! If I hear that one more time... Spiking? Worrisome spike no it's because we're testing We are probably in the same boat as China probably not that much later than Wuhan. We got it What we may have gotten last year

52:02 Yeah, that was last year. Wouldn't it be great if we could track down a public relations agency behind this whole thing that represents a testing company? Well uh that would be the entire pharmaceutical industry because all of these labs are you know it was basically open sourced. No! Opened the door for them but to this today still it's like oh the curve is not flattening no because we've got 150 000 tests a day now apparently so yeah it's gonna look But you know, it's a lag. It's a huge lag and you can't compare our testing to China's testing and the morbidity rate anymore because we just heard they never included asymptomatic cases. Wait a minute! Yes you can because the Harvard professor... We had a clip of the Harvard professor who said that is 35% of people are going to drop dead in this 75 percent 70 percent of all of us are gonna get it

52:56 And he used a computer model to prove it. Wait a minute, was it one of these Harvard professors? We're here today to announce three separate cases highlighting the ongoing threat posed by Chinese economic espionage and research theft in the United States First, the arrest today of a Harvard University professor for lying about his participation in a Chinese foreign recruitment program Second this morning we've unsealed a separate indictment of a Chinese national working as a scientific researcher at Boston University who failed to mention on her visa application that she is also a lieutenant with the People's Liberation Army. Finally, this office has indicted another Chinese national for trying to smuggle vials of biological material out of the United States to China and lying about it to federal investigators. That defendant whose entry into the United States had been sponsored by Harvard University

53:50 Was he what is he affiliated with those people my age? What was the name of the professor that they rested there. I don't know yeah Well, but this was Jan this was January 20 It was a month or two ago by the point is who would why aren't they naming names oh At these press conferences what I liked is that it was a actual sealed indictment. That was the first 999 to go We're gonna get there anyway, so You heard health certificates So and some kind of plaque acid test which is interesting so I guess now you can just Get a quick swab and know within a second or is that something you do with the border at the checkpoint?

CHAPTER 16 / 46 Discussion

Digital Vaccines and South Korean Surveillance Apps

Dr. Oz appears in a clip advocating for the adoption of a South Korean-style digital tracking system in the United States. He describes a "digital vaccine" where a government-run app tracks movement and social distancing compliance. The hosts express concern over the potential for tech companies to implement permanent surveillance under the guise of public health.

54:35 I'm not exactly sure what what they're talking about there. I don't know either no idea But it does bring up one of the things that we're looking forward to now, I'm looking forward to it Not the actual implementation but is tracking and Now around the world We have government tracking. In fact, this is Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolfe. Many of us have already cut back on social functions and traveling in a recent study of cell phone data places Pennsylvania at the top for social distancing so I want to thank all of you for the sacrifices your making So of course when you look into this don't worry it's anonymized now we get rid of it right away

55:21 We have helicopters now in Austin every night and I know exactly what's going on. They're getting the data, we have too many cell phones in this area and they fly over it and they circle...I haven't heard the giant voice system but its coming. It's coming. So now they just circle around, they circle around to make you scared and go home. Well you know what? They're doing at some beaches in Europe I guess Oh yeah, with helicopters they're blowing the sand up so people can't... Yeah they're prop washing people off the beach. That's great! So here's Dr Oz who of course America's favorite physician when it comes to all things dump and on Fox of course here's his plan. Well in medicine when you have a program that's worked you copy it and if you look around the world the most successful effort has been in South Korea

56:16 And I think the reason they worked, and i've done a fair amount of research in this is they basically created a digital vaccine. Everyone got tested your information was entered into a government-run app that tool was used to track where you were going what you were doing to help you make sure you're being smart about your social distancing to quarantine you if you're infected they track people you'd been near too so they could get it tested ahead of time so you can contain the virus So, as we come through this difficult time if you want to release the restraints earlier we gotta be really meticulous so that we don't let this grow back again. And so we're gonna wanna sophisticated program like they had in South Korea and we can do it all the tech companies the leaders are in this country We've got wonderful programs all the big boys know how to do this and we've got the ability to do more testing smartly and if we could get together I think will buy ourselves a lot more time next time around

CHAPTER 17 / 46 Discussion

Social Distancing Terminology and Universal Basic Income Beta Test

The hosts critique the term "social distancing" as psychologically harmful and discuss the stimulus bill as a "beta test" for Universal Basic Income (UBI) and Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). They predict that future health compliance will be managed through geofencing, Bluetooth alerts, and DNA-linked health certificates.

social distancing· universal basic income· ubi· mmt· bernie sanders· 23andme· bluetooth tracking

57:05 Let's do it smartly. Yeah, let's get some tracking and I'm gonna tell you first of all Let me just tell you one thing this is not going to be mandatory Everyone will gladly put this app on and this and this ties right into the term only really used in America social distancing This is a very evil term We're taking distance from humans you know, six feet. Social distancing has subconscious meaning which I don't like at all. Before you go in that direction let's go back to what the clip said first of all he made it seem as if the entire country was tested

57:55 If you listen to that clip, it's very misleading. He says first of all everyone was tested as if the entire country was tested well That's his dream. This is testing testing testing but my Understanding is 250 000 people in Korea were tested yes 280 or something yeah Yeah I said net range and the population of korea 30 million But the idea is so first the idea is to mislead us So again, it's all about testing because the longer we get people to test and I think that's different here in the United States from Korea. We want to keep testing, keep testing why do celebrities... The more you test the longer this thing lingers in the media. The virus with a public relations firm known as coronavirus

58:44 The longer we test, the longer it stays around. The more we can harangue, the more we can bitch and moan that Trump's gonna kill us by trying to open up the economy in the country again get people back to work and if I just go back to where we are now and tracking comes into this when you have people going back to work but they're getting money in addition That is a great trial, including what Bernie was harping about and what is now taking place. Some people if you work you'll make more money because your back at work, you got some unemployment and get your $1200 dollars if you're an adult This is a great beta test 3 month beta test

59:30 for universal basic income and how people respond. How they will respond to the- And MMT while you're at it? Well, MMT – You can't do this without some MMT modern monetary theory. You can't create all this money I think that there will be analysis of how do people look at other people who don't go back to work and just take the universal basic income for those, for that period. How will people look at others who go ahead and work and take the money? What will the money be spent on this is very interesting from a universal basic income perspective and i have to question

1:00:11 If this difference wasn't left in there to just see if hey who knows we might learn something how people respond to that for the future remember it came from Bernie so this tracking is all going to be a part of it and the idea Is everyone will want to get tested you'll probably be able to get a test with your 23andme DNA swab They'll send it right back to you as if you're not being DNA tested for any swab as-is It'll be very simple and then you can add that, and you get it put right into your app. And then everyone will know if you are immune if you've had it You know the Bluetooth and Geofencing all this stuff is gonna come into play! And then you'll get true social distancing where like oh I think I should probably take Fifth Street and not go up Main because... You're too close citizen! You're too close to the person in front

1:01:08 Beep, beep. Too close citizen you're too close! It's exactly what I see coming it's exactly what it is and people will love it they don't care No kissing citizen no kissing Oh and that just a social distancing term This is not used anywhere else but the United States and it's just THE term now. I'm not social distancing, I'm standing five feet behind you or to the side of you! That's not...I can still be social with you? There's something evil about that Back to the other big laugh about the V-shape recovery Here we go That I did get from the former New York banker

CHAPTER 18 / 46 Discussion

V-Shaped Recovery and Environmental Impact Reports

President Trump's prediction of a "V-shaped" economic recovery is discussed alongside reports from NASA and the European Space Agency showing a 25% drop in CO2 emissions in China. The hosts question the logic of reports claiming a massive drop in coal consumption while populations are confined to their homes using residential electricity.

v-shaped recovery· carbon emissions· nasa· coal consumption· wuhan· air quality· economic bounce

1:01:55 And on the briefing, I want to say it was Tuesday. The president said... It happens now in addition to that we're talking about economic where you really hurt a country could take years and years to recover and the longer you stay out the harder it is to recover. I happen to think that they call it the V. I think you can have a very big bounce back. I think he's going to be very big. We'll see He didn't quite say v-shape recovery. You said they call it the V It's probably wondering why do they call it the V? I want to doesn't matter they yeah, they call it the V Yeah I'm with the president on this. Yeah good. He does work out and it's not just another bull trap Well that's always possible because man has has this thing been abused And now we have

1:02:55 Greta Timber coming out and saying well. I think i had the coronavirus so that's just putting everybody on notice because once she's, once it is time for her to speak she's going to come out and speak. And it will be something based upon or very similar to the reports that are now coming through It was unavoidable this is CNN This is what Chinese cities usually look like this time of year Thick smog blanketing the skyline But this year there's something different in the air Blue skies In several Chinese cities, the air pollution has improved. Especially Wuhan, the original epicenter of the deadly coronavirus. NASA and the European Space Agency released satellite images from January showing Wuhan's nitrogen dioxide levels and the dramatic drop in February after 11 million people there were quarantined. CO2 emissions for the past

1:03:55 four weeks are down by at least 25 percent. 25% reduction in CO2 emissions for the world's biggest polluter that could mean a drop of 200 million tons of carbon dioxide this is more dramatic than anything else that I've seen in terms of the impact on emissions. The Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air says coal consumption at fired power stations saw a 36% drop compared to last year their research also shows carbon emissions from the aviation industry plunging due to falling demand and widespread travel restrictions

1:04:32 In neighboring Hong Kong, air quality has also improved as the virus triggered partial shutdown. There are lots of people who work from home and that reduced the traffic volume and reduce the traffic congestion. Now Feng says this brief period of clean air should be a wake-up call If we want children, elderly who could live healthily in Hong Kong then we should think about how to make business as usual change And that's where we're headed. Did you notice the bogus information in that report? That makes zero sense, go ahead. How is I can see okay air traffic's down so there's less jet fuel how with everybody hold up in their houses running electricity running air conditioning running heaters in their houses all the time all day 24 7 how does coal consumption suddenly go down

1:05:31 What is the rationale, do they have one? That coal consumption's dropped like a rock but everybody's in the house instead of outside roaming around. How does that work?" Well it's unimportant because that's not the point No, we know that's not the point. Okay you're asking me questions that I can't answer. Making it sound great is... What? They're lying?! What? Gambling! No no the joke is gambling yes there you go Yes but I did that last time and got tired of it So the same app The social distancing app which will be with a logo you see everywhere stay home The little heart with the house around it Stay Home

CHAPTER 20 / 46 Discussion

Media Alarmism and the War Metaphor

A supercut of MSNBC's Nicole Wallace repeatedly using the word "stunning" is used to illustrate media alarmism. The hosts discuss the framing of the pandemic as a "war against an invisible enemy," comparing the rhetoric to the mobilization efforts of World War II and the concept of protecting the "homeland."

nicole wallace· msnbc· war metaphor· homeland· propaganda· media criticism

1:09:20 Of course you would want to look at the morbidity curve, the death curve. But the media will continue to tell you that Donald Trump is trying to kill you! Yeah and he's not releasing the ventilators And he wants to kill you I mean if i see one more twitter post from people I used to respect saying Trump has to resign now or we will all die Or trump wants to kill you Yeah, it's sad. How out of touch are these people when this president, when his approval rating is as Andrea Mitchell said skyrocketing? How far touch out-of-touch do you have to be understand I'll be taking Twitter tweets about Trump trying to kill you? Uh...I got a cool supercut from another one of the fear mongering panic

1:10:11 Media prostitutes, Nicole Wallace. Remarkable stunning all those words we get tired of using here on the show Stunning news this morning Such a stunning It's a stunning Just stunning! It's a stunning That's stunning Stunning Stunning Galling Shocking That was stunning Giving me a pit in my stomach and a lump in...my throat Stunning or Stunning Stunning Stunning Stunning Stunning Stunning Ugh I just got chills Gave me chills Stunning Stunning What? What?! WHAT?! What? Stunning. It gives me chills. It gives me chills about once a month. Just stunning. I can't, I can't...I'm at a loss for words. I have no words. I read it with my jaw open My jaw dropped! My jaw on the floor was stunning and it was breathtaking This is stunning on so many levels

1:11:07 stunning stunning stunning stunning stunning stunning stunning stunning stunning why the previous answer? I think we sweat and every time she says stunning it's something about Trump. Every time she says my jaw dropped on the floor, it's about Trump! This is all this woman does! I have some advice Wait wait wait man, I have a question for you What is a pit in her stomach? Does she eat an olive? No, I don't know. I never heard of a pit in my stomach Well that's Nicole Wallace She moves in mysterious ways There's a pit in her stomach Everyone agrees this is a war How many times have we heard it It's a war A war on the invisible enemy War! We're at war Would you agree that's pretty much what we all feel? That we are at war against this invisible This is my 80 year cycle theory Yes Thank You

1:11:59 So if we're at war, and when we're a war we do crazy things. But we do it all to protect the homeland. Das Hinterland! We do it all to protect America It's America...We always go overseas and kill brown people in sandy areas for American interests which benefits our economy back home so to not start opening up to take some risk in this war. Just like we send our 18, 19 20 year old boys and girls to the sand at risk for das hinterland for the homeland who get killed and maimed by the tens of thousands We can be a home a little brave

1:12:44 And some people may catch it, some will die. But the war is for the motherland we need to get back to work stagger it get it going roll anyone else is a traitor! That was my Max Kaiser at the end there... A TRAITOR! No that's not Bernie anyway that's what I'm missing that's the talk I'm missing from somebody It's coming Who's gonna say that? We've got to part the war coverage, we have war news coverage of the death toll. If you look at the newspapers from 1943 is it this many dead that many dead this many dead that many dead yes yeah we're trying to get those numbers up so it matches you know World War II but we can't quite get there I mean they keep predicting the predicted number always the World War Two number

CHAPTER 21 / 46 Discussion

Generational Risk and Celebrity Stay-at-Home PSAs

The hosts discuss Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick's comments about seniors being willing to take risks for the economy. They also review PSAs from Robert De Niro and Danny DeVito, promoted by Governor Andrew Cuomo, and compare the social distancing enforcement at grocery stores like HEB, Whole Foods, and Costco.

dan patrick· robert de niro· danny devito· andrew cuomo· costco· whole foods· social distancing

1:13:39 So that's it, and I think that is the way we should be approaching this. You know, I liked the assistant governor of Texas who said look, I'm in my 70s, older people like me are at risk Why don't we send other people back to work who want to go to work and I'll just take the risk time for my generation Okay, boomer time for my generation To take some risks which I liked a lot that's turned around into Republicans just want to kill old people. I mean this is where, that was a very noble thing you know it's like hey we're all 70 plus go ahead get out there will will take our risk we've had a great life so far like to make another couple years but go

1:14:31 None of this is taken into account. Instead, Trump wants to kill you! I'm really tired of that. I'm sure he's going to be able to get back to work but we still have to deal with the governors and the mayors what are they going to do? By the way this is all voluntary except for in Austin now were on lockdown until April 13th because oh you know though I guess they'll shoot ya They don't have any plans to do any of that. At all! It was beautiful, I went out yesterday the day before and went to pick up some supplements from Dr Ron, roamed around, went to...I stood in line at the HEB to get in they have little placards on the table. Yeah they have that here now. Please help us social distance

1:15:17 So you have to wait outside. That's going to continue, that will continue for and we'll probably open up restaurants half full for this very reason. Curiously they haven't done it at Costco! They don't have quotas how many people can be in the store at one time? The place is packed now. Interesting so we have quotas per square foot I asked at HEB wouldn't tell me they didn't know at Whole Foods it was a hundred and fifty 150 what? 150 people in the store at the same time. Oh, we have 80 locally! So one comes out and the other one goes in... Yeah, we have an 80 quota in our store At The Whole Foods? Yeah. Yes so that's a size obviously And I thought personally it should always be like this This is nice, I can get around It's quite empty, 150 people does not feel like a lot Croc. It's a croc

1:16:17 So that's the main... Well, while you're bringing up these old farts I might as well play this. This is De Niro and Danny Devito being played by the governor, your governor friend Cuomo who seems for some unknown reason is laughing like a son of a bitch in the background. Hello this is Robert De Niro We all need to stay home. We need to stop the spread of this virus and we can only do it together, not just to protect ourselves but to protect others and all the older people you love Please I'm watching you

CHAPTER 22 / 46 Discussion

Entertainment Industry Shifts and Netflix Economics

The hosts predict a significant blowback against celebrities flaunting their lifestyles during lockdown. They analyze the shifting economics of the film industry, suggesting that the loss of theater concessions and the high bandwidth costs of streaming may hurt companies like Netflix despite increased viewership.

netflix· disney plus· star wars· rise of skywalker· john legend· chrissy teigen· movie theaters

1:17:00 Hi everybody, it's Danny DeVito and I'm asking you from the bottom of my heart all over the state of New York Stay home. I mean everybody I mean we got this virus this pandemic and you know young people can get it And they can transmit it to old people next thing You know, I'm out there So governor Cuomo asked me to ask you please Do us a favor all of us and stay home not spread this virus around Thank y'all Watch a little TV. Why don't you? Yeah, I'll make a prediction Based upon this and based on what I saw on social media It is quite interesting that when we're all at home and can be on Social media all day were kind of ready to go outside I'm actually seeing I think a decrease in in some Twitter usage at least anecdotally what what I'm seeing

1:17:57 But when you have John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, and they're out in the car exchanging a pie for loaf of bread with somebody at some neutral location. They're rolling the food at each other and they laugh... This is going to turn out bad for celebrities Because people now they're there getting antsy. They don't feel so good a lot of people are out of work and these a-holes are Gallivanting around on Instagram how cool they can be when they're at home and locked down There's a blowback a common on this I think well, I think the blow back is not even something that is do them through

1:18:40 through their own karma. The Hollywood scene looks to me, if we're gonna be this freaky about lines in front of the store and all the rest of it there goes the theaters there goes Hollywood everything's going to be home theater you're gonna be downloading your movies and the economics for downloading and watching movies do not work is not the same, and this happened with the magazine business. I got to be there. Magazines could make a... PC Magazine's a good example. It was big thick magazine came out twice a month it was making millions and millions of dollars per month

1:19:16 And now when you go online, you don't make anything like that. You make a tenth maybe even less than that the same thing with movies the movie industry and the big tentpole summer film That's done and that's the big moneymaker I have a feeling that Netflix lost their shirt on this period Because there was too many people watching Netflix movies when they hopefully they're not watching as much as they did no new signups You bet it's I think their sign ups will be low. I don't think a lot of people Will you jump in on who weren't there already but the existing customers consumed maybe ten times as much and this is just data? I'm guessing at and that's what they want to react It's not a good time it in this house. Oh, so slack has picked up a lot by Disney Plus right

1:20:04 Disney Plus actually gets a lot of, I think, more attention than people want to give it credit for. But your point is well taken if you're gonna go with the subscription model like Netflix and all of a sudden people are overusing it because they're getting a Nelsa due? There's no money in that! And there's no money in renting or bringing out some of these movies that... By the way so just as a quick movie review The Rise Of Skywalker Yes It's the worst thing ever. From what I can tell, I can't even get through it...it's got no plot, it's got just a lot of shooting and looks like a Hong Kong film from the late 80s by John Woo! There is just a lot of action and no story and its just unbelievable

CHAPTER 23 / 46 Discussion

Tiger King Phenomenon and Internet Throttling

The hosts discuss the viral success of the Netflix documentary series "Tiger King" as the definitive "Kung Flu" TV hit. They also note that YouTube and Netflix have begun throttling video quality in Europe and other regions to preserve bandwidth, sparking a brief discussion on the practicalities of net neutrality.

tiger king· netflix· joe exotic· net neutrality· youtube· bandwidth· streaming quality

1:20:53 It's the worst thing they can imagine. They had to sell it to the public, they had to get it out of there and they're selling for 20 bucks or so a pop. Yeah yeah, 20 bucks There is no money in this going out to the theater for the theater experience and spending twenty thirty bucks or bringing your whole family The money comes from concessions at the theatre And the concessions right? Yeah, there's none that sold done I have identified THE Kung Flu TV hit One has emerged as the just you know, we always have a summer hit movie. This is the summer hit stream Tiger King Have you heard of this? No Oh Man after the show you immediately have to start watching Tiger King it is it's all just give us a little review here It's a reality show

1:21:42 About a guy primarily a guy in Florida who started? raising and collecting big cats tigers lynx leopards the whole deal has about 200 of them and Yeah, and he makes money exploiting them. And but there are you know But he grows up with him so they play with him around the house and they're not eating him apparently And then there's another guy also in Florida and he has his own zoo. And there is a third person, the lady who is so called preservationist but her place was also a zoo and somewhere I've only seen a few episodes There's a murder for hire The whole thing goes haywire It's like... What's this swamp people reality show?

1:22:27 It's just a real reality show instead of drama. Well, how do you get a hitman involved in the reality show? Because it happened during the filming of the show! It's fantastic. You'll love it. Yeah probably not... Yes you will! I don't like reality shows generally because they're fake. No no no this is different. In fact when people are fake they actually show it that's hard to explain how that works but It's like swamp people meets nut jobs with guns, meets nut jobs and throw in some murica. And that is exactly what it is. It's great!

1:23:10 It's and that's that. That's the hit that's going to emerge from from this stay at home Which again is just something it cost more money What's the connection between kovat 19 and this particular? Reality show nothing, this is just what everybody started watching. It's gonna be okay Yeah duck dynasty with tigers no not exactly no no it's it's dirty its nasty. It's crazy. It's dangerous You'll love it Tiger King now on Netflix streaming everywhere in low quality because we've been asked to do low quality. You saw that right? In every except in the United States, everywhere in the world people are being uh netflix has been asked to throttle back their quality YouTube is throttling back their quality on the youtube videos because it's taken up too much bandwidth and they can't and the ISPs can't do it because net neutrality

YouTube TV Review and Cloud PVR Features

One host provides a review of YouTube TV, highlighting its unlimited cloud-based PVR (Personal Video Recorder) and high-resolution 1080p streams. The discussion touches on how the service replaces traditional cable or Sling TV for sports fans while raising concerns about Google's data tracking of viewing habits.

youtube tv· sling tv· pvr· streaming services· net neutrality· resolution· sports broadcasting

1:24:03 Isn't that great? Life's as we've always predicted life-saving need for internet. No, no You can't throttle the you can't throttle Netflix because my video might stutter Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's exactly where it is We got a lot more on this but first I'd like to thank you for your Go well do one more since we're on the view did because we're not gonna get back to it good I'll edit that out of them. You'll never hear it You can be in there, I don't care. I just want to give another plug for something that I recently subscribed to even though I don't like the idea of having too but I needed to and then I subscribe is going to be interesting to watch how this works out especially with the net neutrality and it was throttling back and all the rest is I took out a subscription to YouTube video oh wow

1:24:54 Now you and I did that because it has all the local sports. It has Comcast Sports, and it has ESPN And it has all these these sorts of channels plus it has the basic cable channel Did you give something up for that or is just yeah? I gave up sling TV Okay No I was just wondering what it replaced if anything well sling TV was I was using for my sports You know habits and then I'd then just cancel it and kept away from it. And then, I decided well let me try this because they had a free sample for a couple of weeks. A couple of things you should note if anybody wants to try this. It has an infinite virtual cloud-based VCR capability. PVR. So you can record any show you want to record

1:25:44 And it just keeps it forever. It seems to be limitless because I know how they're doing this, and I know the mechanism like for example, I want to record NCIS on a weekly basis so I recorded and then go back and watch these episodes when I feel like with the regular video recorder or my own ones that come with Dish and the rest And that's because they just record everything. They got enough computer power to do that, so they're not recording for me. They already have it or they're already recording it, so this is something of a scam and you but at the same time when you're on it You can stop videoing stop and stop the show Wow what amazing capability It's all we've since we've had since Tevo I get it yes, there's no box. I got it oh

1:26:36 And so then you can fast forward through ads, which is another capability which is nice and so forth. But the interesting thing is it's maxed out this where I came comes in with the net neutrality. It's maxed out in so far as resolution is concerned and there's a little button you can push that says nerd something or other. You get all these stats on the stream They're all coming across at 1080, 1080p and in less than 720P but it's mostly 1080p for almost everything. And the image quality is unbelievable! Well that's not fair because they need to diminish that so people can watch Netflix. It's pretty remarkable... Is there any porn on YouTube TV? I don't think so

CHAPTER 25 / 46 Discussion

No Agenda Community and Artwork Standards

The hosts check in with the "troll room" and discuss the growth of the No Agenda Social network. They review the episode artwork by Darren O'Neill and establish a new policy: they will veto any submitted artwork that features the common artistic rendering of the coronavirus or "ugly" imagery.

1:27:32 Maybe. Well, thanks for that update on YouTube TV. I will stay far away from it! I want nothing to do with what they're tracking what i'm watching. Well with that I'd like to thank you for your obvious courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in Cash is Coming John C. DeVorey! Well good morning Mr. Adam Curry, in the morning ships of seaboots on ground feet in air subs in water dames and knights out there And in the morning to the trolls in the troll room let's do a troll count hands up trolls let me see we've got

1:28:09 1637 not bad for a Thursday very nice welcome trolls no agenda stream calm is where they hang out and that's up 100 from last Thursday Yes, but it's down a little bit from Sunday. But that's to be Sunday everyone's home should be home today by the way They yes, yes hand check Noagendastream.com is where it's been quite the communite with the podcast we have podcasts running there 24-7 on a stream you can join in troll the host when they're doing it live or just find interesting people and there you can get an invite to no agenda social When you're in the chat room just type exclamation mark NA social and it will give you a link and you can go to knowagendasocial.com which is also exploding in activity, great to see how everyone is doing virtual meetups etc

1:28:58 And it's a great to read today's meetup list. Yeah, yeah That's why the the meetups are virtual is an interesting concept Also big in the morning to our artist who brought us the artwork for episode 12 27 we titled that one boozing and beefing Darino did it simple to the point gets it It was the RX No Agenda Prescription and the prescription is written in by our very own Dr. Darren O'Neill, take one dose two times a week it was simple apparently listening to this show puts people's minds at ease during these trying times of war against the silent enemy I would talking about that art I do want to mention something people should note so they don't waste their time

1:29:49 You know, the way the arts picked Adam and I go or stuff. And then you know one of two we had to both agree it said like one of these things where it has to be 100% agreement which means It means that one of us has a veto either one of them Yeah, there's always veto yeah, I will veto anything with a picture of the corona virus on it. I think it's a disgusting image It's not even real. It's not from a it's an artist conception of it that comes I believe out of Italy and then became licensed And it's not from an electron microscope or anything, which doesn't look like that at all. It looks a little like it because got the corona part but I find it is kind of an ugly image and if I see it you will not get picked so if you want to just put coronaviruses on there you're not going ever get picked. And Don has a veto so even if I like it just won't work

1:30:39 And the other, I mean, I will veto or just not vote for it. It's not really a veto but I just won't vote for any image that is ugly. I don't like the idea of like a toothless hag or some horrible looking thing in there. I just don't think these are attractive images that people are gonna be... People are not attracted to it if you're not attracted to the image then what's the point of using it? It's a marketing tool. And so ugly images are just verboten as far as I'm concerned, and the coronavirus itself that stupid looking thing with all the plugs sticking out of it is just out.

Sitting at home and doing online learning will suck Second, I need a dose of business selling karma. We're supposedly selling a large chunk of our business on March 31st.

Every event through May canceled or postponed with no clue when anything will begin to schedule or start working again I've had to lay off 50% of my workers and cut salaries on top

1:38:22 On the rest to keep the lights on. We have no foreseeable income till August I hope it's sooner while airlines restaurants and other social places will pick back up fairly quickly We'll see many more months of waiting on what is going to happen when people start meeting again Thankfully, we will survive this but with I know many others whose lives have or will be ruined It's just plain terrible I would love to crowdsource any ideas from producers that might have alternate income ideas for us because at the moment we are at a dead and complete stop. I'll take any thoughts at this point. The easiest way to reach us is through gigrent.com, G-I-G-R-E-N-T dot com This is a very serious situation and believe that our industry has been affected by this more than most or than any other one Anyway done with the bemoaning I want to quickly give perspective to the constant notes about the terrible audio and everything Joe Biden and others do! I have some standing here as I've had the privilege of doing a number events for the White House and other campaigns Here we go

1:39:23 This is interesting. I was lead on the 2009 stimulus signing event in Denver, another Joe Biden VP event the same year and other Obama campaign events in 2008. I've also staffed that handled Bernie, Obama, Biden and Bush events. Other than the president none of the candidates pay for or have a dedicated sound professional with them unless they are on national television." Well let's say that's your problem right there. The President smart he's got his guy At the campaign events there will be a different AV company almost every single time and you can't always guarantee professional handling of the audio. Maybe this should change but frankly I don't think they care as long as it works when it's a random video that they make many times, the staffer with the video camera filming them that has no idea what they're doing... No kidding!

1:40:09 The President, on the other hand has two to three comms department people that travel to each event and carry their own sound console that is on battery backups and pre-dialed for the standard Shure SM57's they are always required to use in the podium. They crew are normally from the Army have been assigned to the White House and served 2 or 3 years there. They're trained once assigned doing audio for the president is most of what they do this doesn't change the fact that should be a better job at least we can know why Donation breakdowns as follow $300 33 split even evenly between the two guys that work in the warehouse at our Denver shop I hit Michael in the mouth and they now listen to every show. I hope this can lift their spirits and slightly Slightly and know that they'll be back in the warehouse As soon as I can possibly get them back in there, can you deduce Michael and Dalton for this? You've been

1:40:59 He douched. And the last $33 is for a podcasting license as I'm starting a new AV podcast this week, would love a Sharpton compilation and the best jobs karma you can muster for both Michael and Dalton as well as all business we need events back on the books yesterday were all getting pretty bored and tired of this out here lastly i need to title change upgrade realize that moved to Barron last year and need to petition some peerage committee for a portion of Colorado as it's currently being managed by Sir Michael Gates and Sir Gene I'd like a piece of the pie if you can afford me with some. I don't know if you've, if the peerage committee has done anything on this John? Do you know?" It's right now in committee." Well it would be nice if the committee could get back to some people because... "...it will shortly be at this'll be yes..." All right so I'm gonna throw the goat karma out there with some Sharpton respect seems like a lot of people are defending on Sir Goodfellow of The Rockies

Internet Shutdown Fears and Costco Return Policies

The hosts speculate on the social unrest that would occur if the internet were shut down. They discuss the ongoing toilet paper shortage and Costco's new policy refusing returns on paper products to discourage hoarders from seeking refunds after the panic subsides.

1:47:05 You slaves can get used to mac and cheese, mac and cheese. Macaroni and cheddar melted together. Mac and cheese, mac and cheese, mac and cheese. Hey everybody! Yay! You've got karma I brought this up at the dinner table. I said what do you think in this moment would happen If the government announced that they're gonna shut down the internet for public safety reasons or whatever, just shut it down. No internet! What would happen? And everybody agreed that there would be riots in the street. Yeah likely I think Google services went down for a little bit this morning and people are already losing their crap

1:47:57 Unbelievable. Because of course, by the way somebody so one of our producers or someone at the company I don't know where this came from Someone sent me a Charmin I saw the picture that's hilarious Yeah there's three rolls there i didn't get to show the third one and then you get this little rack they give You it goes in the bathroom It just looks like it looks...it's a monstrosity in the bathroom! I loved the idea I saw the picture of you is great Yeah, and it's like enough toilet paper. I would like to somebody tell me who did this It's enough toilet paper each one of those rolls is good for a month And so there I am hey cuz I eat The toilet paper has been sold out in the Bay Area every shop every nook and cranny

1:48:43 Since day one, when they had the first toilet paper run, the panic. And Costco has not had any toilet paper in and they have a big sign out in front of the store now no toilet paper. And if Costco's made a smart move they've decided that they're not taking any returns on any paper products So if you bought way too much paper towels or you bought tons of toilet paper and you can't get rid of it, they're not taking it back. Whereas Costco even if you buy a bottle of wine and you don't like it? You take it back full credit Yeah They'll take it back they'll take almost anything back nobody without whatever without no house complaint No hassle But now they've made a new policy you cannot bring the toilet paper back bought it keep it choke on it

CHAPTER 31 / 46 Discussion

Global Pandemic Response and Operation Resilience

The hosts begin a "world tour" of pandemic news, starting with French President Emmanuel Macron's "Operation Resilience" to support hospitals. They discuss the broader European challenge of distributing aid and the global trend toward using the crisis to implement universal basic income.

emmanuel macron· france· operation resilience· united nations· european union· universal basic income

1:53:12 We of course do this under the value for value method as you just heard. Whatever the show is worth to you, please let us know that in a donation go to Dvorak dot org slash NA we'll be doing another show on Sunday still on lockdown. So you can easily tell everybody that this is the place to get all the best info. Our formula is this...we go out and hit people in the mouth You know, there are other things to talk about besides this but people seem to be interested and I have coming up or we can do it now. Let's do it now! I think now is a good time... Which is a worldwide report because we're not hearing as much as we could be in this you know every country in the world has been affected. It's a worldwide phenomenon. It's a World War

1:54:17 And I want to, we could do it in like a clip blitz but i think we can just do it and these are the different countries. Yeah just tell me which country to go to hold on a second let me get the magic country wheel all lined up so we have them all ready to go each click on the wheel is a report from a different country were going around the world with COVID-19! Where did we start? Let's start with France France it is! And we start for you here in France where the army will be a more visible presence in towns and cities across the country, in the coming weeks. More money too will be poured into France's public hospitals which are under strain this is all part of what's known as Operation Resilience an updated plan to fight COVID-19 announced by the French president in an address to the nation on Wednesday

1:55:10 Let's take a listen to a little of what Emmanuel Macron told the French people. A lot has been done, but undoubtedly the response wasn't fast nor strong enough Tonight, I'm committing to a plan for all of the health staff and the entire nation. When we reach the end of this crisis, I'll implement a large-scale plan seeking to invest and reassert the value of all careers within the health sector. This is what we owe our medical staff and it's what we owe to our nation." Well it's clear the situation in France is extremely serious and indeed across much of Europe. The United Nations has also been sounding the alarm about the risks of Covid-19 in the developing world

1:55:51 I'm really glad you're doing this. People easily forget outside their own bubble what's going on, this is a global war and every country is trying to get money to their citizens. The EU has a very interesting problem who should get the money and why? Not all are affected equally You're seeing our own little problems here in the US, but everywhere they're trying to figure out how to scare people into staying home and how to get them universal basic income so we can then figure out what the world should look like after this exercise.

CHAPTER 32 / 46 Discussion

Spain Death Toll and China Lockdown Easing

Reports from Spain highlight the use of an ice rink as a temporary morgue as the death toll surpassed China's official numbers. Meanwhile, in China's Hubei province, travel restrictions are being eased for families to reunite, though Wuhan remains under strict control for two more weeks.

spain· madrid· china· hubei province· wuhan· ice rink morgue· travel restrictions

1:56:31 Yeah, and there's a lot of I think personally especially based on some reports out of Italy that only 19% of the people dying actually have COVID. So the possibility exists in some of these countries that like to do this to the EU are pumping up their numbers to get more cash. Yep Not sure then I'm not accusing anybody but coincidentally the next on the list is Spain Now let's take a look for you at the situation in Spain where the death toll from the coronavirus is rising sharply. More people have now lost their lives in Spain than in China, where of course the virus originated over 3400 fatalities have been recorded on Spanish soil and authorities have been forced to turn an ice rink into a temporary morgue to cope with the number of dead as Jean-Emile Germain now reports. Where once this served as a Madrid ice rink

1:57:26 A makeshift morgue now takes its place. Batches of bodies continuing to arrive here every day, all of them victims succumbing to the coronavirus Spanish suffering continued into Wednesday as the country's death rate overtook that of China with more than 3 400 mortalities now recorded Italy is the only country with a higher toll. Yeah yes well since china was mentioned let's take a quick look at china Okay, China is on deck. Back in the original outbreak epicenter of China's Hubei province two months of travel restrictions were eased allowing some rail stations and airports to get back to business and families to reunite I feel so happy that this virus didn't affect my family so much i'm so desperate to go back home now to see all of them there

1:58:18 China's worst hit area of Wuhan, however remains under lockdown with no plans to ease restrictions for another two weeks. Yes yes and what and while we're still uh would go back to the EU and finish with the The only report from the UK. And in the United Kingdom, the heir to the British throne 71 year old Prince Charles is the latest high profile positive test for coronavirus He has mild symptoms and is self isolating at his Scotland estate Before we move on to the next sad sap country What a great opportunity To satisfy the will of the British people

CHAPTER 33 / 46 Discussion

Prince Charles Diagnosis and UK Lockdown Rules

The hosts discuss Prince Charles testing positive for COVID-19 and review Prime Minister Boris Johnson's address to the UK. Johnson's strict new rules include banning meetings with friends or family, closing non-essential shops, and empowering police to issue fines for gatherings of more than two people.

prince charles· boris johnson· united kingdom· scotland· police enforcement· funerals· social gatherings

1:59:01 Who clearly would rather have Will as their prince instead of having to deal with the... what? King. Yeah, I meant Prince William as king who clearly would rather have him King than Charles a perfect opportunity. I mean, yeah, I'm surprised we're not seeing more people die And I did take the liberty of clipping three short bits from Boris Johnson's State of the nation his this is how it was presented Now I'd left out the whole what you're only allowed to leave your house for the same things as pretty much everybody has. And here we continue with some more rules about what you should or should not do, it's very different from the United States as this is the law These are the only reasons you should leave your home You should not be meeting friends If your friends ask you to meet, you should say no

2:00:02 You should not be meeting family members who do not live in your home. You should not be going shopping except for essentials like food and medicine, and you should do this as little as you can and use food delivery services where you can If you don't follow the rules, the police will have the powers to enforce them including through fines and dispersing gatherings. We need those helicopters! Well yes we need to ensure compliance To ensure compliance with the government's instruction to stay at home

2:00:44 Close all shops now. This is different this was no one ordered shops and restaurants to close in the United States It's part of a directive and it's part of the recommendations which finally got down to the city level But this happened at the top we're closing shops That's what he said We are closing shops close all shops selling non-essential goods including clothing and electronic stores and other premises including libraries, playgrounds and outdoor gyms and places of worship will stop all gatherings of more than two people in public excluding people you live with.

2:01:24 and will stop all social events, including weddings, baptisms and other ceremonies but excluding funerals. I don't know why funerals are excluded but okay... And he wraps it all up with a nice bow with a very somber tone! No prime minister wants to enact measures like this i know the damage that this disruption is doing and will do to people's lives, their businesses and to their jobs And that's why we've produced a huge and unprecedented programme of support both for workers and for business. And I can assure you that we will keep these restrictions under constant review, We will look again in three weeks and relax them if the evidence shows we are able to But at present there are just no easy options The way ahead is hard

2:02:18 And it is still true that many lives will sadly be lost. We're all gonna die! Is that how you end your speech? Sadly many lives will be how about we can fight this. We'll take her to the beaches We'll take it to the bunkers no none of that sadly you should have slipped a Churchill speech in at the end Yeah, but sadly is just nah nah yeah girl sadly be lost They will be lost. Oh my goodness. Thanks, Bojo! Let's take a look onward with our little world tour let's go to India. India on lockdown with police barricading roads restricting movement and checking driver identification while markets and airports appeared abandoned

India Lockdown and African Pandemic Readiness

India enters a strict lockdown with concerns over hospital bed capacity. In Africa, Nigerian officials are self-isolating, and billionaire Jack Ma donates supplies to 54 countries. South Africa prepares for a 21-day lockdown, with health officials worried about the high prevalence of HIV and tuberculosis in the population.

narendra modi· india· nigeria· south africa· zimbabwe· jack ma· hiv· tuberculosis

2:03:06 India's current tally of cases and deaths is dwarfed by countries like China, Italy and Spain. But the country has just 0.5 hospital beds for every thousand people compared to 4.3 in China and 3.2 in Italy Health experts have warned the densely populated nation faces a tidal wave of infections if harsh steps are not taken. While Prime Minister Mahindra Modi's announcement has mostly been met with reluctant acceptance, residents remain fearful that the poor will be the hardest hit. Despite government lockdown also extending to places of religious worship, a few locals managed together outside shut Hindu temple doors on Wednesday as prayers were offered on the first day of the Chaitra Navratri festival.

2:03:51 Yeah, India is going to have a good worst case example. Very interesting to see how they're gonna do although you go down to Africa which is where we're headed it's gonna be interesting big countries like Nigeria should have some problemos. Now to Nigeria where the vice president and several other senior politicians are self-isolating after coming into contact with two people infected with the coronavirus President Mohamedou Bahari's chief of staff is also said to have COVID-19, one of a growing number of cases in Africa's most populous nation. This Wednesday Nigeria received test kits and protective gear from Chinese billionaire Jack Ma the founder of ecommerce giant Alibaba China's richest man has pledged to donate equipment to all 54 countries in Africa That's interesting Yeah

2:04:47 Well, stepping up. Go... well of course that's where all his people are! Yeah, China and Africa. That's where they are. But still very low infection rate. Very low. Yes seems so but it's gonna spike. Yes alarming spike Let's go to Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe, home of the trillion dollar bill! Right now we are exposed and no one seems to care Those are the words that the president of Zimbabwe's Doctors Association Thousands of medical workers have gone on strike in the country complaining of a lack of protect protective equipment and water shortages

2:05:27 as they gear up to tackle the coronavirus pandemic. There have been at least three recorded cases in Zimbabwe in less than a week and one death The outbreak is likely to test the nation's already stretched health system Yeah, three cases doesn't seem like it's going to stretch it that much. Let's go the place has got the most is where his next on the list of which is South Africa? Yes, as South Africa gears up for a 21 day lockdown there's been widespread panic buying people have been rushing to stock up on essentials in all shops and businesses will close except those providing essential services

2:06:07 There are currently over 700 confirmed cases in the country, which is the worst affected nation in sub-Saharan Africa. It's a worry for health officials as South Africa has a large population of HIV and tuberculosis sufferers who may be at greater risk to the virus due to weakened immune systems." Onward to Cameroon! I thought it...I thought the whole point of some people I thought a lot of HIV, some kind of antibodies or something was flowing around in Africa since it had such horrible HIV and AIDS problems that wasn't there as some mention maybe some immunity to the coronavirus? I'm just telling what I thought. I know there's an HIV drug that used against the corona virus is supposed to be effective Yes, yes, I think its another Gilead invention Probably

Manu Dibango Death and Congo State of Emergency

The death of Afro-jazz star Manu Dibango in Cameroon is noted. The Democratic Republic of Congo declares a state of emergency, closing borders and cutting off the capital, Kinshasa, as the country reportedly has only 50 respirators to serve its entire population.

manu dibango· cameroon· democratic republic of congo· kinshasa· respirators· global reset

2:07:02 Cameroon! Now we head to Cameroon where the country is in mourning following the death of legendary saxophonist Manu Dibango. The Afro-jazz musician was one of the first global stars to succumbed to the coronavirus I like the use of the word sexophonist. Instead of saxophonist? Yeah! When i want sax, I call candy...sexophonist. I like saxophonists. I use my esophagus for my sex- whoops. Saxophone- sex- Never mind. It's fine, let's go to the final two parts which is Congo 1 Now the coronavirus is spreading quickly in parts of Africa including in the Democratic Republic of Congo over 40 people there have contracted the virus and three have died so far a state of emergency has been declared and that means borders are closed and the capital Kinshasa cut off from the rest of the country

2:08:02 And then we're continuing that report with a guy talking about the capital and how they got cut off. That's because Congolese authorities know all too well that should the epidemic worsen here in the DRC, the healthcare system would be simply unable to cope with an influx of sick. people. That's something that was confirmed by the National Doctors Union who said that there are only 50 respirators in the country these new measures come a week after other safety and precautionary measures were implemented including the suspension of all international flights, schools churches as well as bars and restaurants have also been closed and gatherings are now limited to

2:09:01 to no more than 20 people. When I hear all these reports, it sure sounds like a global reset doesn't it? It sounds like everyone in fact is the euro and dollar now almost equal its maybe think it's a penny or so difference well I can tell you really quickly I thought it was one point maybe it's nine cents take a look let see I got a look up here and that's about 10 okay no thats still pretty good But man, there's all this money being created. Where is it coming from John? Where does the six trillion dollars come from? The pound is a buck twenty one by the way

Global Financial Reset and Oil Price War

The hosts discuss the possibility of a coordinated global financial reset, noting the 0% bank reserve requirements and the 1934 Gold Reserve Act. They analyze the impact of the oil price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia, which has driven crude prices down to $22 and significantly affected the stock market.

gold reserve act· gold standard· crude oil· saudi arabia· russia· vladimir putin· mbs

2:09:48 Well, this is almost as though you're right. Everyone's agreed on the same process stay at home close the borders if this is a it's a stun and then give away a lot of money yeah This has got to be something like they had a meeting there's something that was had a meeting so well You know our plans that make one big government not going to work let's try a different approach There was something in the CARES Act bill that refers to the gold standard act, let me see... Section 10A of the Gold Reserve Act of 1934 which gives the government the power to take away your gold basically. I don't know and i tried to figure it out last night yeah they did but they could do it again

2:10:39 You know, there's all this noise that China had been buying gold before this came down. Gold has been moving around from country to country for years now we've heard about repatriation of gold and I would say the big conspiracy theory has always been you know this is where they bring in The One World, you know the currency, the SDR which i don't believe...I do believe it's cash is gone I'm waiting for the Amaro. Remember that? That was great, the Amaro scare! That was before Bitcoin really, we didn't know what were doing. You can't help but think that there was some coordination

2:11:26 And then where does it come from? I mean, yeah. I know it just gets created but we have all these... We have banks now at 0% reserve It seems like we're in a very precarious situation Did I not see the three-month Treasury now as negative rate No, I don't think so. I think it bounced back and did one of those little bounce throughs. The other thing didn't mention is crude oil is now 22. Yes! So the way... This is a major change except in California where we're still being charged for old $60 gas but everyone else in the country and now I understand Oklahoma's down to like 95 cents a gallon. Yeah yeah so in an ideal recovery and I recall

2:12:15 Yes, coronavirus hit. Yes that took the market down But we lost 2,000 points when the gold war or the oil war started between Saudi Arabia and Russia Which is almost I mean there's no in-depth reporting that I can find it explains exactly what the problem is other than We don't like them! We don't like what you're doing You're doing it wrong too much to little too high too low And if this is truly a setup for a V-shaped recovery, catapult everyone's rebalance somehow you'd expect somewhere in the way up as the bill gets signed and whatever else is going to happen all of a sudden that should end.

2:12:58 Just like it started and that could catapult or slingshot something up It's such an odd occurrence that is barely reported on. And if they do, its just a mention Well you know they're in a rift This is not insignificant this would be the story I think If coronavirus was not there I totally agree if it wasn't for COVID-19 This would be the story that everyone was hand, would be hand wringing over and blaming Trump. Yeah why don't you just call your buddies in Saudi Arabia make it all better which is a question by the way has been brought up in the conversation I'm sure I'm sure Trump can fix it overnight all he has to do his call

CHAPTER 37 / 46 Discussion

Chloroquine Controversy and Media Skepticism

The discussion focuses on the use of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine as potential treatments. The hosts criticize the media for highlighting a death in Arizona involving fish tank cleaner to discredit the drug, while ignoring its use in New York and other clinical settings.

chloroquine· hydroxychloroquine· z-pack· fda· donald trump· arizona· fish tank cleaner

2:13:38 MBS, whatever it is. And he'll tell him what to do because he's his boss and meanwhile Huckham Putin who is calling the shots! He's the one running in the United States doesn't call Trump to call MBS. To make it finish exactly well Trump is also killing people and this is with the Trump cure as its now known chloroquine that is the trump cure it's dangerous it's anecdotal evidence don't take it don't do it all all wrong, the media just hammering against Trump. You cannot find a mainstream story that speaks positively about this combination of the Z-Pack and the chloroquine which has now been FDA regulations have been changed everybody can take it I hear that there's good results with it but let's just check the mainstream media for a second... What?

2:14:30 I was just gonna say before you play that, JC keeps up on this because he used chloroquine to get over the COVID himself. And he keeps up with all this stuff and i asked him about this combination they're talking about and he told me the real problem with it is that causes heart dysfunction And which is, you know, you can get through that as long as you eat over the COVID. But if you exercise or you start to do anything that might put a little stress on the heart, you drop there... You'll have a heart attack and drop dead and that's what killed people. So these athletes are real good examples because they can't stay still long enough so this is it.

2:15:09 It does work. Well, this is not true. Is it possible that your impulse to put a positive spin on things may be giving Americans a false sense of moral disrepresenting? I don't think so right now. No, I don't think so. I think that if I think it's got the not yet approved drug. Such a lovely question. Look, it may work and it may not work And I agree with the doctor when he said may work, may not work. I feel good about it." Yeah that was of course horrible who is he to disperse medical advice? Fauci you know had confusing messages but now everyone's on board and it can be used and apparently it's being used in New York and I again call to attention Dr. Fauci other interests why he may have been cagey and I don't want to point the finger

2:15:57 too directly, but I think his answers were pretty sketchy in light of his conflicting interest with the Gates Foundation hundred million dollar partnership for Gilead resolution to this. The company Gilead. I should mention and this comes up in the conversation Scott Adams and one of his whatever they're called mentions that he was in close contact with one of his friends whose doctor gave him the chloroquine and got him off, you know, through the COVID situation. So this is not as though this is not being used as we speak. We have lots of evidence that it is

2:16:43 So this whole thing is very fishy. And it would have been really nice to have Scott or his friend on CNN and say, hey this has worked out for this guy that's good it's hopeful he got some news! Nooo instead we get this from CNN game-changer. That is how President Trump describes the anti malarial drug chloroquine it's now one of 69 drugs being investigated as potential treatment against coronavirus, the problem it has not yet been approved in Arizona one man has died after an apparent attempt to self medicate with that drug In that report no mention that he drank fish cleaner and that's how low the media goes

CHAPTER 38 / 46 Discussion

Daniel Dae Kim Treatment and Hydroxychloroquine Success

Actor Daniel Dae Kim shares his recovery story on Instagram, detailing a drug cocktail that included hydroxychloroquine, Tamiflu, and a Z-pack. The hosts question why mainstream media outlets have not interviewed Kim or other high-profile individuals who have reported success with the treatment protocol.

daniel dae kim· lost· hawaii five-0· tamiflu· azithromycin· hydroxychloroquine· instagram

2:17:27 to just because they hate Trump. It's unbelievable! Third one, John after President Trump touted the use of chloroquine as a possible treatment for COVID-19 three Nigerians have overdosed from that drug according to Nigerian health officials Yeah, sure. There's evidence less reporting. Yes! There is no evidence of any of this but they'll report it anyway. Meanwhile we have on Instagram actor Daniel Dae Kim you may recall I didn't know him for what he is doing now I think in Hawaii Five-0 But he was on lost. He was gin unlost and he posted this here is a treatment protocol I followed as prescribed by my amazing doctor It was what's called the drug cocktail, which means it's a combination of different drugs They consisted of Tamiflu Which is an antiviral? The antibiotic azithromycin more commonly known as a z-pack a glycopyrrolate inhaler that was used to

2:18:28 ease breathing and the inflammation that's commonly associated with COVID. And here is what I consider to be the secret weapon, hydroxychloroquine This is a common antimalarial drug that has been used with great success in Korea in their fight against the coronavirus And yes, this is the drug that the president mentioned the other day. It is also the drug that Dr Anthony Fauci cautioned us about he said that evidence that the drug was promising his anecdotal and That is correct it means there wasn't studied and its only based on personal accounts well add my name to those personal accounts because I am feeling better now why is a famous actor

2:19:08 I think he's very recognizable. He's on a current show Why is he not interviewed? Why does this have to be Instagram? Why is he not on a Skype connection? It's good news! it saves his life potentially We should be reporting on this Nooo Or they could bring the doctor in Yeah, no that's not gonna happen and To prove that other interests are at work I could not believe how low the tobacco industry was willing to go in propagating and I don't know why the Michigan governor did this, I don't know why the Surgeon General jumped on this but listen to this part of a statement from the Michener Governor regarding their lockdown. We've got to do everything in our power to keep that from happening here in Michigan

CHAPTER 39 / 46 Discussion

Vaping Risks and Surgeon General Warnings

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Surgeon General Jerome Adams suggest that vaping may be a factor in why younger Americans are experiencing severe COVID-19 symptoms. The hosts argue this is a targeted attack on the vaping industry funded by Michael Bloomberg, noting the lack of similar warnings regarding traditional tobacco.

vaping· gertchen whitmer· jerome adams· surgeon general· tobacco industry· bloomberg· lung health

2:20:01 And I shared with you one, you know anecdote about younger people being as susceptible as older people. There's been this misperception that if you're young, you don't... You're not susceptible to COVID-19 the fact of the matter is in America we are seeing severe consequences in our younger people in ways that they haven't seen it in other parts of the world And I've talked to more than one physician who has observed and perhaps, you know there's too little science to know precisely if this is what's going on but vaping is a lot more popular in the United States than it is elsewhere. And that compromises your respiratory system and makes you more susceptible to respiratory illness. So this is a crisis that we are feeling in ways other parts of the world hasn't even experienced.

2:20:54 to say young people are dying from this and uses vaping as an anecdotal example. She's spoken to at least one, at least one scientist... One guy! And she also claims that more people in America vape than anywhere else in the world. Absolute bullshit go look at the UK you have no idea what you're talking about. And where is the warning about tobacco? Hey kids, don't vape and don't smoke cigarettes. That's gone! No no we can talk about that even our own Surgeon General Jerome Adams is all on board on this Are young people more at risk than previously thought? Well so far the demography definitely seems to be very different He sounds like Mike Tyson doesn't he

2:21:42 Well so far the demography seems to be different in the United States versus in other countries that saw this hit earlier and we're looking into that. There are theories that it could because we know we have a higher proportion of people in the United States and also in Italy who vape. We don't know Also in Italy, i.e., hey look at all the dead people in Italy! Must be some 80 year olds vaping but okay... In the United States and also in Italy who vape we don't know if that's the only cause but it's important for young people to know you can get this disease, you can be hospitalized from this disease You can die from this disease And the Surgeon General should say

2:22:26 Not a good idea to be inhaling anything foreign into your lungs including tobacco That the surgeon general warning is on every package of tobacco. No vaping This is this is why I don't believe that the this is a scam and people are jumping in on it and getting anything They can all the money's good magic money helicopter money who knows where it comes from? I will mention because I just I watch, now that I'm watching the YouTube TV and some of these other systems where you're getting your TV from the internet. There's a lot of interstitial and other advertising moments on videos especially YouTube plain old videos at the beginning that are anti-vaping and they're very very expensive advertisements. Yes it's Bloomberg funded.

CHAPTER 40 / 46 Discussion

FBI Sting Operation in Belton Missouri

FBI agents killed Timothy Wilson during an attempted arrest in Belton, Missouri, alleging he planned to bomb a hospital. The hosts characterize the event as a "six-week cycle" sting operation, questioning the timing of the intervention and the narrative that the suspect was an imminent threat.

fbi· timothy wilson· belton missouri· domestic terrorism· hospital bomb· dick wolf· six-week cycle

2:23:20 Extremely slick. Yeah, I know it's Bloomberg funded this says nothing about tobacco No, I know but as Bloomberg funded yeah well he's behind that group now obviously yeah amidst all of this and again There's no reason this had to happen right now But it did once again We have taken a sad sap pathetic member of society Jacked him or her up for months gotten them all crazy, and then at the moment we need either our budget renewed for yet next year or perhaps to spread more fear and terror amongst people. We're gonna make this moron pop off and do something that he or she thinks is incredibly cool and big and dangerous but it was all set up for months and it's phony also known as the six-week cycle FBI agents shoot and kill a man in Belmont

2:24:18 Missouri who they say planned to bomb a hospital. It's on this dead-end street in Belton where the FBI say they met Timothy Wilson on Tuesday he thought he was there to pick up a car bomb instead agents were there to arrest him during the operation, the armed 36 year old suspect was injured He later died at the hospital At the same time agents were at this house on Hickory Leaf Lane in Raymore where neighbors say Wilson lived with his grandmother There was two unmarked FBI trucks out here and they were bagging and tagging evidence, logging it in and loading it on the trucks.

2:24:53 They were here about three or four hours and they all left. Federal authorities had their eyes on Wilson for several months, they describe him as a violent extremist motivated by racial religious and anti-government hate and was planning domestic terrorism You know hung out with his grandmother that had the place and never did see anything that would indicate that he was some type of domestic terrorist or anything like that. The FBI said the COVID-19 crisis made Wilson speed up his plan to blow up a car bomb at an area hospital, to cause severe harm and mass casualties I mean this is so horrible they've done this If this guy truly was religious and terrorist and idealistic things

2:25:44 you could have carried him on a little bit more to go blow up something else. Why all of a sudden does it have to be a hospital in the middle of this crisis? And listen to what they're saying, they set him up for months they had a phony truck bomb car bomb ready for him he wasn't planning something during the coronavirus this is total horseshit that's even even the eyewitness you hear speaking what eyewitness speaks to the news media and says the following hold on where was he FBI's grandmother there was two unmarked FBI trucks out here and they were bagging and tagging evidence. Bagging and tagging evidence okay yeah that sounds like a typical bystander logging in loading it on their trucks no this is to terrorize people even further didn't you mention something about a terrorist attack? A few shows ago maybe

2:26:41 Begging and tagging. This is despicable I mean they had it completely under their control, they controlled the guy! Yeah well that's what's new about that Because it adds an extra level of terror on top of people who are already terrified Yeah so that's what it does and then the media picks it up instead just ignores it Shameful shameful Yeah, if I was one of the supervisors at the FBI running this six-week thing. I would probably scold agents for doing this or they agents may have been forced to it's hard to say you could probably read it in the indictment. I've read the indictment and no, I don't think they were forced too. I mean that the indictment least doesn't state that the special agent just says yeah But I'm not gonna say that specifically have to read between the lines on I didn't pick up on anything other than business as usual

2:27:39 Well, they're protecting the public. Thanks boys! Good job I feel much safer now. Dynamite! They got two shows on now they got FBI and FBI Most Wanted on NBC both Dick Wolf productions yeah and it's kind of interesting because the narrative has shifted on television dramas from Oh, we're the local cops and we know what we're doing and where can handle these investigations. And oh no! The FBI is going to get involved they are gonna botch it. They are gonna let the guy go. Yeah yeah yeah. You gotta do a witness protection. Gotta do it now. They've switched it Dick Wolf was the progenitor of all these things by the way. They switch it now its the FBI. Oh my god the local dumb cops. Dumb shits. They don't know what their doing.

CHAPTER 41 / 46 Discussion

Joe Biden Gaffes and Teleprompter Issues

The hosts review several recent clips of Joe Biden struggling with teleprompter cues and making confusing statements about the "cure being worse than the problem." They mock his inability to complete the phrase "we hold these truths to be self-evident" during a broadcast about American leadership.

joe biden· teleprompter· gaffes· world war ii· american values· campaign trail

2:28:28 So what, I don't know how much money this guy's making for these two shows but... He sure is doing fine. Yeah he's doing fine he's always done fine Who's not doing fine is Joe Biden Joe continues to embarrass himself it's incredibly sad Did you see the teleprompter one where His hands over in the side motioning. Trying to get the prompter to move up? Yeah, this is a sad one In Hot Topics we talked about Trump saying that government would reassess the recommended period for keeping businesses shut and people at home Are you at all concerned as Trump said that we cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself We have to take care of the cure That will make the problem worse no matter what Stookey!

2:29:17 What? That's what a lot of people said when they heard this. You want to hear that last bit again, here we go It's almost an end of show clip Are you at all concerned as Trump said that we cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself We have to take care of the cure that will make the problem worse no matter what. Okie dokie So it's this stuff that comes out of Joe's mouth but is confusing people and if you hear the term No, I won't even set it up. Just listen to this next one from Joe. And what we have done is the reason why most of the world has repaired us particularly after World War II is because of who we are as a nation

2:30:03 We the people we hold these truths, etc. It sounds corny When you hear the term we hold these truths it you always have to complete it with To be self-evident You that's just what you do He's making an example of why people love America and listen to us, and want to be on our side. We hold these truths etc... Sounds corny but it is real! And that's why the vast majority of nations have followed us. Yes, there is my ISO. Sounds corny but its real I thought that was reasonable. Reasonable? I like the actual ISO of we hold these truths ect

CHAPTER 42 / 46 Discussion

Tara Reade Sexual Assault Allegations Against Biden

The hosts play a detailed account from Tara Reade, a former Senate staffer who alleges Joe Biden sexually assaulted her in 1993. They discuss the specific details of her claim and criticize the mainstream media for its relative silence on the allegation compared to past accusations against Republican figures.

tara reade· joe biden· sexual assault· senate staffer· 1993· me too movement· media silence

2:30:48 Let me see how that sounds. It's so bad, man! I mean... let me see where is it here? We hold these truths etc No, it's un-American. I can't play that just no good. But meanwhile Twitter exploded for half a second two days ago with the name Tara Reid R E A D E did you hear of this story? I did not! Tara Reid was a staffer for Bo Jiden back in the day and

2:31:24 I don't know why it's coming out now. It is her own words, her own voice. I pulled a minute long clip from her sexual assault committed on her by Joe Biden when she was a staffer for him. I don't know if it was Senate or VP. He could be using Congress too, I believe for awhile. Yeah we were alone and it was the strangest thing there was no like exchange really. against the wall. And I was wearing like a skirt and you know, business skirt but i wasn't wearing stockings it was kind of a hot day that day and I was wearing heels and he just had me up against the wall and the wall was cold and I remember he... It happened all at once! The gym bag, I don't know where when I handed to him is gone and then his hands were on me and underneath my clothes and yeah and then he went oh

2:32:21 He went down my skirt but then up inside it and he penetrated me with his fingers. I he was kissing me at the same time and he was saying something to me He said several things that I can't remember everything. He said, I remember a couple of things I remember him saying first before like as he was doing it do you want to go somewhere else? And then him saying to me when I pulled away he Got finished doing what he's doing and I comes pulled back and he said he said come on man I heard she liked me and just that line alone makes it 100% believable

2:32:59 I believe this woman. She's very upset with it, and so i believe her tone sounds right. I would like to know the date... Yeah, I can find out. ...the year. I don't care if it has to be Friday or Monday, I just want to know what year this was That would be useful. Does anyone have any information on that? Well, and this is the interesting thing... This sounds like a solid allegation an actual for pardon me saying it grabbing by the pussy moment but real let me see if I can find her when this was from 1993 when she was a Senate staffer 93

2:33:44 Yeah, that's when Biden had hair. Yeah. He always thought of himself as a lady killer. I'm a ladies man! Ladies man... She worked in his Senate office in 1993. There'll probably be some other allegations because you can't be the- these situations from what I can tell or just from life experience one one offs are rare In other words, this guy has not done this one time in his life. Well especially if he's putting up against the wall doing that and then saying... And this is what rings true to me. Come on man! I thought you liked me? That sounds like the delusional Joe that we see. Yeah. And in the world of hashtag Me Too come on man here's the deal

2:34:37 Someone's got to make some noise about this. This woman sounds traumatized to me too, and aren't we supposed to believe all women? Isn't that just the way it is? Well you know it turns out that he only believed all women if it has to do with Republicans. Hey! You don't say... I hope people see this for the farce of what the media is and this is why The No Agenda Show came to be our own frustration about Bullcrap way the media portrays so-called news mainly for their own agenda Recall that what mentioned yes, but that's exactly one of the reasons this show began or got onto the track that it's on and And one of the early sales pitches we had and it we don't use it much anymore But it's still a good win which is that?

CHAPTER 43 / 46 Discussion

Donor Thank Yous and Birthday Shoutouts

A long list of donors is acknowledged, including those from Germany, Montana, and North Carolina. The hosts discuss the "click farm" efforts on No Agenda Social and read various personal notes, birthday wishes, and "de-douching" requests from the listener base.

adrian dunzkus· leroy pacheco· debbie holmes· carissa mullen· joe weiss· no agenda social· click farm

2:35:28 things that are being reported don't make sense. They didn't make sense to us and if you look into it, it doesn't make sense for a good reason because its bull crap and we had a lot of early listeners say to us, I felt the same way but then I was doubting myself and oh the next thing you know... And then you guys came along and confirmed my suspicions And that's what we do. As early days too, this was 12 years ago when we started this. We didn't have as much... people are finding their own truths, their own facts yes you can have your own facts depending on what you're looking at and how you're looking at it

2:36:07 But there are some irrefutable things and this is just typical, stands above everything. Why is the media not all over this? Why is the media not showing Jin from Lost who has been saved?

Yeah okay it's not good it's not as good as yours and then I have Yamiche's iso which is from a report we didn't play but if and it says zero zero may not be anything in this file but give it a shot well just a me room What yeah, you can't you can't get it. Well Justin no I can't hear It's because she's just mumbling and it thought a big good eye so but it's not okay well Wait wait whoa whoa? Whoa? Whoa? Whoa? I just got is this our ISO now as the let me see is this it oh my god The universe is collapsing so long. Oh My god is the best part of that. Oh my God. Oh my god the universe hmm

2:54:06 Oh my god! Uh, hold on I can do this. Can you take a couple of beats out of that? Maybe could use the whole thing Well then it'd have to edit it Which I don't mind doing but um...I don't have uh... And what is this? Lockdown No thats no good It's funny but its not for end-of show You like that for end-of show?! I do, I like it Oh well excuse me Hold on Then I will keep that. Let's see, lockdown... Okay it's in the spot!

2:54:48 It's so dumb. It's not our producers are great is not okay, you know I mean dumb funny Yes, so let's let's catch up with some international news these are all piss poor reports have marked as such mm-hmm from PBS is the piss poor report on Yemen and then the Saudis Saudi Arabia is being accused of torture and other crimes against civilians in Yemen Human Rights Watch reports that Saudi military forces and their Yemeni allies have committed a long series of abuses. The Saudis are backing the Yemeni government against Shiite rebels who were allied with Iran. Hold on a second, aren't those Shi'ite rebels actually the Houthis? Yeah isn't that the opposite? Who actually run the government and the government is actually deposed

2:55:38 I mean, isn't any of this information important to PBS anymore? The CIA handlers told them no no let's not talk in those terms. Does that still get ratings as anybody watch this dreck? I don't know but it has really gone down the tubes. Really have. Give me another good example. If I were you I'd give up on it. It is bad but its not even funny anymore! Here's the other news Chad Army loses the Boko Haram Have you heard about this? Hold on other news. Oh, oh I got you okay? No, I had not heard this in other news nearly a hundred Chadian soldiers have been killed by Boko Haram and the deadliest attack ever By the group from the country's armed forces the Islamist militants have increased their attacks in the region in recent months Nikola Jammal has a story

2:56:33 On Wednesday, more Chadian troops arrived in the Lake Chad region. The country's army is considered to be one of the most efficient ones on the continent but it has just suffered one of its worst setbacks Nearly a hundred Chadian soldiers were killed on Monday in this region by jihadist group Boko Haram President Idris Deby who has been in power for 30 years visited the scene at the attack And that's it. I had to pick that up from overseas, I got to get that from France 24. Pompeo versus China bad report from PBS another one the Trump administration escalated a war of words with China today over the coronavirus pandemic

2:57:14 Secretary of State Mike Pompeo again accused Beijing of concealing vital information. He also charged that Chinese officials are spreading claims that the U.S. is behind the pandemic. This is news to her? She follows anything?! This is Friday. Yeah, I mean yesterday this has been going on for weeks back and forth. Oh my brother! Okay last one this is a kind of interesting this apparently the Dakota pipeline after in service for three years they're trying to stop it and they're all for it sorry

2:57:50 Back in this country, a federal judge in North Dakota ordered a full environmental review of the Dakota Access Pipeline three years after it began carrying oil. Construction of the pipeline near the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation set off months of protests in 2016 and 2017. The tribe wants the line shut down. Boom! Boom is right. It's like where did that come from all of a sudden now? That's pretty off the wall no reporting on it How about some info there's got to be somebody involved with this What does it what does the company say, is it really have a chance? Is there anyone gonna do I mean there's nothing they're giving us just

2:58:34 They're doing the same kind of news reading only from different sources that Amy Goodman does. They just have a little thing in front of them and they read a story here's, and the last one I'm going to play which is Turkey indict Saudis Okay, Turkey. There we go. Prosecutors in Turkey filed an indictment today against 20 Saudi citizens in the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi The Washington Post columnist was killed at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in 2018. The Saudis have refused to extradite any of the suspects We don't really know if it was true or any of that. That's the way it goes. Read, read, read Trump sucks! Read, read, read Trump sucks! That's your PBS news Just a final... Please stop emailing me about the 21 fewer cell phones in China

2:59:30 I'd like to just address that. They sent 21 million, I think something like that. Yeah 21 million fewer cell phones yeah and so this is sent well 21 million people died! They died! 21 million people died first of all i would say out of 1.5 billion Chinese it's very possible 21 million of them thought F this I don't want to be tracked anymore and just smashed the phone and got rid of it Also, 100,000 people die a day in China regardless. Maybe even more without coronavirus. So it's like this... please stop emailing it! This is the kind of data that people send around. Yeah I got a bunch of those too You know? It's like yeah and you know People die during time and there was no signups No new signups so that skews your numbers But these data scientists we have Even the numbers who verified this

If you call it hot, if you call it any word you want to use, it is at a level that

3:03:35 I was speaking to Tony before. It's a level that no place else is close, it's very unfortunate you know one of the things that They will also enact mandatory playground social density. It's probably a new concept and you can transfer it, which makes you dangerous to the people who do love it. It's very possible that they won't be ever subject to what's happening in New York.
