About this episode

Former CIA Director John Brennan coined the term "obamable" in a verbal slip while accusing President Donald Trump of manipulating the intelligence community. The incident highlights the escalating tension between the current administration and the legacy of the Church Commission as the General Michael Flynn case collapses. Meanwhile, constitutional lawyer Alan Dershowitz asserts that the state possesses the legal authority to compel vaccinations, sparking a debate over civil liberties and the limits of police power during a national emergency.

Global pandemic responses vary wildly as Japan utilizes 120,000 hotel rooms for isolation while Wuhan initiates a ten-day testing blitz for 11 million residents. In the United States, Governor Andrew Cuomo faces scrutiny over New York nursing home mandates that forced facilities to accept COVID-positive patients. Simultaneously, the CDC faces criticism for retroactive data revisions and a BMJ study questioning the efficacy of cloth masks. In Texas, economic militias are standing guard outside businesses to deter local law enforcement from closing establishments that defy lockdown orders.

Joe Biden continues his campaign from a glitch-prone basement studio, sparking speculation about his viability and the potential for a Hillary Clinton return. In a lighter moment, New York tennis guidelines suggest players mark their own equipment to avoid cross-contamination, leading to a breakdown of the absurdity of "whose balls are whose." The episode also features a report on mysterious blue lights appearing during a Nevada earthquake and the introduction of virtual fans in Fox Sports broadcasts.

CHAPTER 01 / 38 Discussion

Mask Mandates, Social Distancing, and Open Carry in Texas

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak discuss the social pressure and coercion surrounding mask-wearing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Curry suggests that while he finds masks frustrating, he is willing to wear one if it allows society to reopen, though he plans to counter the "virtue signaling" by open carrying a firearm in Texas. The conversation touches on the different social dynamics in Austin compared to the rest of the state and the upcoming reopening of Italy.

00:00 Adam Curry, John C. DeVore. At Sunday May 17th 2020 this is your award winning Game On Asian Media assassination episode 1243! This is no agenda. Young Man Mask in broadcasting live from Rampart Studios in San Ysidro in the Centennial Residence of Texas, Canada's dream space state and really only airing on Time. And from northern Silicon Valley, I believe Adams turned into a Democrat. I'm John C. DeVore. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill! In the Morning! Yeah, I figured I'd try and see how it works with the mask seeing as that is what we're going to be coerced into no matter what we want Well...I've read these orders and none of them say you have to be wearing a mask all the time Correct

00:54 You do not. So why are people wearing the mask all the time? They're wearing them in their car, they're wearing them at home... Yeah yeah I have done some investigative work on this and unfortunately this is a result of I would say that the society that we've created certainly younger people and it goes like this you have to wear a mask to keep me safe Okay? You have to wear the mask to keep me safe. So if you're not wearing a mask, but I'm wearing a mask... ...I'm keeping YOU safe, but YOU'RE A DOUCHEBAG! And that's the bottom line. You're NOT gonna get away from it. People are mad, they're angry and I think that if we want to just open up—I have a suggestion

01:52 It's completely optional, so wherever you go a store doesn't have to force you to wear masks But they can and if they do then usually will respect that Any other place where you want me to wear a mask? So that you feel safe is good I'll wear the mask and to make sure I feel safe And I'm protected from you. I'm going to open carry my firearm, and I'm gonna do this in Texas So that you can see I'm not a Democrat Democrats have guns. Open carry? No, I don't think so in Austin no double no not at all it's a couple of things here i i question your premise and by that i mean i'm not absolutely sure that all these douchebags wearing a mask actually think that they're wearing the mask to protect

02:51 You from them. No, it's all virtue signaling but that is that's what that's the Reasoning that's given and that's the rationale It's not even really true when there why is somebody wearing the mask in their car? Well, that's okay if they want to feel that that's their business I don't care if they want to look like idiots But I'd like to get away from this we're never going to open up fully Until we agree on some social things and if it's gonna be masks. Oh my god, so be it go ahead Force everybody to wear a mask That's we need to do something and I'm willing to compromise but again I'm gonna open carry which is legal as long as you have your concealed carry in Texas You can open carry and I intend to do that in my car too and a on the street

03:38 Yeah, yeah it's you know there's I don't think there's any other way for us to go. So you have a holster yet? Oh I have several holsters in Italy they're opening up on Tuesday and they will have social distancing i've got a little report from Willow so they'll have all that set but masks shall be worn Until there's a cure or vaccine. So I'm seeing what's going on, we're not gonna get away from this is gonna be an endless fight with the whole bunch of idiots and we just have to become Japan! We're already on our way financially into the Japanese debt trap so we might as well just go the full nine yards. I don't see it... It's no worth fighting. Well, we did get a note from Duke & Duchess or The Duke anyway

Japan COVID-19 Response, Low Mortality Rates, and Isolation Hotels

A report from producers in Japan highlights the country's low COVID-19 death toll of 739 for a population of 126 million. The success is attributed to a long-standing culture of mask-wearing during flu seasons and the government's use of 120,000 commandeered hotel rooms as isolation hubs. This strategy prevents infected individuals from spreading the virus in hospitals or at home.

04:28 Which you, I don't know if you have it. Well why not? I'd like to read it during the donation segment but I have some other... It's kind of just..I think I might want to read it now because this is really exactly what you're talking about. All right all right well okay. I have a report from China as well uh this is from Sir Mark and Dame Astrid the Duke and Duchess of Japan in all the disputed islands in the Japan Sea and we will read most of this during the donation segment, but Masks work is the Japanese reasoning. And the whole country wears them for flu season every year especially in the most crowded mass transit system in the world he gives us some numbers they've only had 739 deaths for a population of 126 million which is very good so that's what did you put here? That's like

05:18 It's like 10 times less than the United States, if you believe the numbers of course. Yeah well there you go! Well hold on we'll get there. Mask usage went up with COVID but it also meant that it was the weakest flu season in over ten years interestingly Yeah, not the same here. In fact the mortality rate in Japan for March was also down on top of this if you feel you have symptoms and this I think is kind of cool what Japan is doing You're asked to go to one of the many hotels that have been commandeered for isolation hubs So you don't go to the hospital and infect everybody! You don't go home and infect everybody... ...You go to one of the designated hotels And the government has options in over 120 000 hotel rooms across the nation That I think is a pretty good idea But, dad,

CHAPTER 03 / 38 Discussion

Wuhan Mass Testing, Surveillance, and Post-Lockdown Pollution

Producers on the ground in Wuhan, China, describe the government's ambitious plan to test 11 million people in 10 days using neighborhood testing stations. The report details the heavy use of QR codes for tracking, the reopening of wet markets with one-way traffic, and the return of heavy air pollution following the end of the lockdown. The necessity of using tracked taxis over Uber-like services due to ID requirements is also noted.

wuhan· china· mass testing· qr codes· surveillance· pollution· wet markets

06:00 Think about if you're a traveler. Is this room previously occupied by a guy who's done his deadbed? Nobody is traveling, nobody is traveling... But yeah, if you want to go to the obvious hurdles but maybe just a quick update from Wuhan one of our producers is back and I'll read his note or hers anonymous we're back in Wuhan Friday Wuhan said they were going to test 11 million people in 10 days Yeah, and I looked at the math and said I don't know how that's gonna work but we have a little more data. Our producer says back in Wuhan Friday Wuhan tested just over 113 thousand people our hotel slash apartment called us and will schedule our test this coming week

06:45 My clients are testing the workers at work and the Chinese government is setting up testing stations in local neighborhoods. They will test everyone in 10 days, it's not really even a blip on most people's day One client has a parking lot that is full of tables and trailers that has two tests Blood and throat swabs takes less than ten minutes to stand in line and go through the process Yeah, that is 11 million people times 10 minutes I'm just I really want to see how they're going to complete this and so far only a hundred thirteen thousand done. I had to do this when... Bull crap, that's how!

07:21 I had to do this when i first arrived in Wuhan so, I couldn't start work. This will be my third test since coming back to China. Wuhan is mostly open some restaurants have dining inside while others are takeout only. I can't use DD which is their version of Uber only taxis because they track you and you need a Chinese ID to register to be tracked by the Chinese uber Our local wet market is open but not inside. They moved the market to the sidewalk and made it one-way traffic, enter on one side and walk through to exit the opposite side You need to have your temperature scanned before you enter any place and show the QR code Having fun in Wuhan! When we first arrived a few weeks ago pollution level was great We had blue skies and some stars at night Now it's back to grey skies and burning eyes So... I've never seen a blue sky in China

08:15 Well, I think it probably did happen when it was all shut down. That's what he says Yeah, but it probably was quite phenomenal So in order not to go through all of that tracking and everything...I suggest the mask! I really do. I mean, I hate it. I'm against it But we have to sacrifice somewhere this then Republicans need this shut up and just get on board move on let's do it We can always Do something later on and maybe people will forget about it But this is not the hill anyone should take a stand on in my opinion because we're dying I was reading a fashion column about the fashion industry this morning. You know, nothing could take What's her name from Vogue magazine? Oh my goodness Anna Wintour famous editor of Vogue Magazine with the glasses Devil Wears Prada movie made about her

CHAPTER 04 / 38 Discussion

Fashion Industry Collapse, Austin Color-Coded Threat Levels

The fashion industry faces total obliteration due to the pandemic, with major designers going out of business and Anna Wintour's influence at Vogue being challenged. Locally, Austin Mayor Steve Adler has implemented a five-stage color-coded threat system similar to post-9/11 security levels. The hosts criticize the "non-essential travel" restrictions and the slow pace of reopening in Travis County compared to the rest of Texas.

anna wintour· vogue· fashion industry· austin· steve adler· stage five· pandemic guidelines

09:12 The fashion industry is saying, well it looks like nothing could take her down but the coronavirus. That can take her down and the fashion industry is obliterated! The fashion designers are out of business or going out of business. Not that I'm crying about it, but you know there's a lot of people that work in the fashion industry It just...the longer we do this the longer its gonna be problem and assholes like Fauci and all these people need to get out of their way We'll wear some masks make it optional for people to require them And let's go! Let's move on No no no we can't do that

09:47 Here's Austin. They've gone back to the color codes of a threat level of 9-11. Tonight amid state demands to roll back its coronavirus restrictions, Austin Travis County is now releasing new pandemic guidelines divided into five stages The chart suggests what actions to take based on communities risk of contracting the corona virus Stage one is where we want to be The chart separates suggestions by the general public low risk individuals and those at high risk, such as anyone over 65 years old. even in stage one, that you still avoid gatherings. For everyone else social distancing and mask wearing appears at stage two Austin Public Health says we're in stage three right now this means avoiding groups of more than 10 people and avoiding non-essential travel Mayor Steve Adler says hitting stage five means the city is in a pretty bad place and needs to take extreme measures

10:51 You look at this thing, it's like a grid with colors and numbers. And you know... It's reverse order so stage 5 is worse, stage 1 is good. It's dumb! It's dumb! Pussies man go-go-go What is this preoccupation with non-essential travel? What does that even mean, what is non essential travel. It's everything is not an essential travel unless you're an essential person but if you go into the store No, I think travel means...I don't know. It's all bullcrap they can't force us. Exactly what i said Yeah yeah but we can sit and bicker or we can get going and I'm getting a little worried here in Austin which is different from the rest of Texas The rest of Texas is doing it a little differently and moving a little faster Now here we all have to be pansies

CHAPTER 05 / 38 Discussion

COVID-19 Death Count Accuracy, Judicial Watch, and Reclassification Scandals

The accuracy of the official COVID-19 death toll is questioned, with claims that the numbers are being overcounted for financial or political reasons. A report from Colorado highlights a case where a man died of alcohol poisoning with a blood alcohol level of .55, yet was classified as a COVID-19 death. Judicial Watch is reportedly filing FOIA requests regarding Dr. Anthony Fauci and the NIH to investigate potential mismanagement and shady business practices.

anthony fauci· deborah birx· judicial watch· tom fitton· cnn· colorado· death certificates

11:46 And meanwhile, just to get back to the numbers because that's really the problem. There are increasingly There's increasingly more evidence that this death count is really, really full of crap. And do you remember I said that I think Birx might have flipped and she was all kind of on Trump side and maybe anti-establishment? That she's trying to save herself from the impending doom that these people will meet when we finally figure out where all the money is coming from going and Judicial Watch is doing all kinds of FOIA requests on Fauci in NIH You don't want that

12:22 You don't want that and I'm sure he hasn't covered everything. What do you mean you don't want that? He doesn't want that, Fauci doesn't want that! Oh yeah well it's just not me... You don't want Tom Fitton in Judicial Watch making a stink about your business which has been as far as i can tell very shady for a long time so this is the CNN report Jim Acosta it was a very long report I chopped it down because it was really billed as tensions rise between the administration and let me get the exact title here tensions rise between the White House and CDC as Berks

12:59 Critiques virus tracking and the death rate in control of the coronavirus message coming from the White House President Trump is giving the administration a pat on the back for the US response to the pandemic with enormous weight of the pandemic hanging over the White House sources tell CNN Administration officials are questioning. The accuracy of the coronavirus death toll in the u.s.. and whether the number of dead is being over counted. But that would fly in the face of testimony from top administration health expert Dr Anthony Fauci, who said deaths are likely being undercounted as some residents in hard hit New York died at home and were never counted as COVID-19 fatalities. So a direct answer to your question I think you are correct that the number is likely higher. I don't know exactly what percent's higher

13:45 But almost certainly it's higher. The president suggested New York's number. I love how they did that first, they say the numbers are bullcrap and then they cut straight to Fauci out of context but its oh no its higher definitely higher this is a good report from CNN when it comes to propaganda 18 fatalities so in direct answer to your question I think you are correct at the number is likely higher I don't know exactly what percent higher But almost certainly it's higher. The president suggested New York's number of dead was too high last month I see this morning where New York added 3,000 deaths because they died and they're now saying rather than it was a heart attack They're saying there was a heart attack caused by this Trump allies on Fox News have zeroed in on Fauci as an obstacle to reopening the country blasting the doctors cautious approach to the pandemic

14:34 Is this the guy you want to chart the future of the country? Maybe not. This is a very serious matter, the decisions we're making right now. Tony Fauci has not been elected to anything. Fauci, to be very blunt is the face of this failed administrative state. I think we've got to question premise of this. With the chief buffoon of the professional... Dr Anthony Fauci also seems to favor what the Democrats want and that is massive restrictions with no end in sight! With all due respect to dr Fauci's expertise, no one elected him to anything but there's one big problem for the White House a CNN poll found a solid majority of Americans trust Fauci not the president so the whole point is

15:14 They're not really interested in talking about the facts of the death rate. Let's just go ahead and say Fox News are assholes, and Fox News is doing the same to CNN." But every day I could play a report like this... When police in Cortez Colorado found 35-year old Sebastian Yellow in their city park on May 4th, Coroner George Deavers quickly determined what killed the man. It wasn't COVID it was alcohol toxicity yes he did have COVID but that is not what took his life In fact, yellows alcohol level is .55 nearly double the amount that's fatal. So he literally drank himself to death? Yes exactly. Deavers tested yellow for COVID-19 after his death and the test was positive. The coroner said he was surprised to see this state then show COVID deaths in Montezuma County go from two to three with Sebastian Yellows counting as number three before the death certificate

16:13 they had already listed it as a COVID death before the death certificate was even signed. Deaver said he's been trying to get the state health department to explain how a case of fatal alcohol poisoning was classified as a COVID death and they should have to be recording the same way that I do, if they have to go off from the truth and the facts enlisted as such It's not the first time the state health department has come under fire for reclassifying deaths as COVID fatalities. Last month, a CBS4 investigation found attending physicians at this centennial nursing home ruled three deaths were not related to coronavirus but since the residents had tested positive for COVID-19, the state then listed them as coronavirus deaths

16:58 There you go. Every day, you could have one of these reports every single day but it's just a... We've done one ever show since the start. Exactly! Since the beginning we've done one of these... there's just this is.. You don't see where are the other reports? In other words, you know if we're undercounting how do we not have these outrageous reports coming constantly? No. We can't have that and there'll be none of that I put in the show notes a report from BMJ That's sort of big deal What does BMJ stand for something medical journal what is it the BMJ British Medical Journal I think its Let me see

CHAPTER 06 / 38 Discussion

BMJ Cloth Mask Study, Corporate Mask Mandates, and CDC Data Revisions

A study published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) cautions against the use of cloth masks, suggesting they may increase infection risk due to moisture retention and poor filtration. Meanwhile, a leaked internal memo from a private employer threatens staff with termination for failing to wear masks at all times. Additionally, producers note that the CDC has been retroactively increasing death counts for previous weeks in 2019-2020 despite those weeks having been previously marked as 100% reported.

bmj· cloth masks· cdc· data reporting· employee termination· workplace safety

17:39 BMJ, I think this is bmj.com let me see what is it? Oh BNJ yeah BMJ dot com oh the leading... Yeah there it is they don't even expand the acronym you a-holes The BMJ It's something of medical journal okay anyway whatever it is its real medical journal or real medical report abstract this is a cluster randomized trial of cloth masks compared with medical mask And the objective was to see if there's a difference, what is good and what is not good. It's all marked up one of our producers actually was kind enough to do this conclusion The study is the first of cloth masks and the results caution against the use of cloth mask which is what we're all using because you know... We don't have enough disposable medical masks Moisture retention Reuse of cloth mask and poor filtration may result in increased risk of infection! Wooo! Right there on the BMJ

18:40 So, we are not getting good information. This is what's frustrating this is what's driving people I think nuts! One of our producers works in a store which is starting to open up and this is believe it or not a store with Democrats And I just listened to this note that has been written to the managers of this place. All uppercase now. I am disappointed in what i thought was a team of individuals who appreciated an employer that had as much concern for them as they do themselves! We spent the last month in net losses, as the result of our selfless

19:31 act of closing the stores and paying everyone for four weeks so that we can do our part in trying to keep our staff and their families healthy, safe as well as mentally and emotionally secure in very uncertain times. All caps still! That won't happen. We can't get our money back but I damn sure will take action to make sure it was not in vain. V-A-N-E misspelling...We will do absolutely everything in our power to prevent sickness and the risk of having to close our doors again Blah blah blah, let me be clear in writing so there's no misunderstanding. I won't do the voice anymore wearing a face mask by employees is great wearing a face mask by employees and sub... I just spit all over my screen Wearing a face mask by employees and subcontractors is requirement while conducting company business at any time anywhere And while our property for any reason following company protocol for preventing COVID-19 spread at a rate of 100% It's a requirement! The grounds are simple

20:26 Employees terminated for being a clear and present danger to health, safety and well-being of our team members and customers by not taking the measures required by company policy wearing a face mask that help prevent the spread of COVID 19. That's pretty serious! Where would you run into this little screed? One of our producers who I'm gonna keep anonymous works there And this was sent to her Yeah It's really... There's... That's why i'm saying who cares let's just go for it do it Get over it already so we can just move on because we'll never get out of this We'll never ever get out of this by the way the CDC data

21:09 which I have the link for in the show notes. A couple of our producers record this data and, you know from week to week etc., and this producer said, I went update my spreadsheet notice that they have increased all of the 2019-2020 season numbers even though most weeks had been listed as 100% reported before increased total deaths by literally thousands per week even though they said in there and we have the proof their own documents this is 100% counted or 100 percent reported and then they re- updated it and they just added thousands to several weeks. What? Yeah, yeah CDC is not a good outfit No its been corrupt for years

CHAPTER 07 / 38 Discussion

Dr. Drew Pinsky on Shutdowns, Social Engineering, and Compliance

Dr. Drew Pinsky argues that the CDC never officially recommended total economic shutdowns, only social distancing. He suggests that California and other states overshot the necessary response by a factor of 10 to 50. The discussion focuses on how human resources departments and social shaming are being used to enforce compliance with measures that were never legally mandated.

dr. drew pinsky· cdc· shutdowns· social distancing· california· social engineering

21:58 Now to go back to your statement about this not being a requirement and not being A law that we have to adhere to you're of course absolutely right here's dr. Drew who was still I don't know if he's on Fauci sphere squad anymore or if he's freewheeling but here's his latest now let's remind ourselves the CDC never recommended shutdown They never recommended shutdown. They recommended social distancing and let's not confuse social distancing and shut down those are two very different things shutting down businesses isolating in place, those are far reaching measures beyond mere social distancing so the real question is was that necessary? Might there have been a more

22:45 Rational intermediate step to take close some businesses closed some schools isolate nursing homes might that have been a more sophisticated way to do this and given that in California we overshot by somewhere between a factor of 10 and 50 Evidence, we didn't suggest. We did a great job And maybe we did too good a job depending on how bad our economy is hit Oh brother So now I have probably the most frightening thing of the day. I'll get it out of the way right away Thank you while we cannot but while we have not been forced to shut down We've been compliant very compliant human resources doing as were told social engineering in great play were being shamed into compliance

CHAPTER 08 / 38 Discussion

Alan Dershowitz on Mandatory Vaccinations, Constitutional Law

Constitutional lawyer Alan Dershowitz asserts that the state has the legal power to compel citizens to be vaccinated against contagious diseases. He cites Supreme Court precedents regarding public health and "police power," claiming individuals have no constitutional right to endanger the public by refusing a vaccine or a mask. The hosts express skepticism and alarm at the idea of the state "plunging a needle" into a citizen's arm.

alan dershowitz· supreme court· mandatory vaccination· constitutional law· public health· police power

23:35 And the ultimate question is, when a vaccine comes around how is that going to work? Now we'll probably dive in later into this Rick Bright character who keeps coming back who was slated to be the guy running the program. Now the military's going to do that We already said I think couple weeks ago there was going to be warp speed operation Warp Speed was get the vaccine done and and out and ready for distribution by January of 2021. So when that comes out, will we all have to take it? Is it going to be optional? Will you take the vaccine John? No nobody in the family is taking this vaccine And what if you were forced to take the vaccine? That's not gonna happen Here is a constitutional lawyer Alan Dershowitz Let's be very clear how we break down this issue

24:26 The city of New York, the state of New York has the power to close a park based on their view that it would be helpful in defeating the pandemic. Absolutely no question about that. The Supreme Court has case after case after case saying that public health justifies closing down parks, closing down public areas. The next question is does the governor have the right to do that? Governors generally are not authorized to make the law. They're authorized to enforce the law, so you'd have to look and see if there were legislative authority allowing a governor to close the park. If there is then it would be legitimate. Let me put it very clearly- You have no constitutional right to endanger

25:13 the public and spread a disease even if you disagree. You have no right not to be vaccinated, you have no right not to wear a mask and if you refuse to be vaccinated the state has the power to literally take you to a doctor's office and plunge a needle into your arm if the vaccination is designed to prevent this spreading disease. If the vaccination is only to prevent a disease that you will get for example a disease that will kill you. You have the right to refuse that, but you have no right to refuse to be vaccinated against a contagious disease. Public health, the police power of the Constitution gives the state the power to compel that and there are cases in the United States Supreme Court.

26:02 I was not aware that that was a constitutionally somehow possible. Well, I'd like to hear other interpretations Dershowitz has got one opinion about a lot of stuff right but we typically like what Dershowitz has to say can't just because you disagree he can't say yeah nobodies become a bit of a I hear arm waver recently. I mean, he's he did it. I mean he's what he's saying is probably true but i'm sure there's other ways of dealing with well this is not going to happen we're not going to get a shot oh do you remember h1n1 swine flu and we're still waiting for that so wait on this show we discussed oh there's gonna be two member the whole rigmarole is gonna have to be two shots maybe three and then again one and then become part of the flu shot and there was all these different things

CHAPTER 09 / 38 Discussion

Operation Warp Speed, Trump on Vaccine Options

President Donald Trump clarifies that while the administration is pushing for a fully approved vaccine by January 2021 via Operation Warp Speed, its use will be optional. He also defends his decision not to wear a mask in certain outdoor settings, stating that he and his staff are tested regularly and that mask-wearing should remain a choice for the public.

operation warp speed· donald trump· vaccine· emergency use authorization· masks

26:52 That's what the era when people at because I took pictures and put in the newsletter Where they were giving the shots out in Albany. They had a line. No, I remember that yes Opening of Star Wars The public will line up for this shot it such to such a degree Yeah that you there's not gonna they're gonna force anyone to get this shop because there's gonna be so many people getting This shot they're going to probably run out of it Yeah, that's a good point. That's a good point. But- They'll line up! They'l be lined up a mile long And as the president says... Do you mean a fully approved vaccine for everyone? The full public or a partially approved vaccine with emergency use No we're looking for a full vaccine for everyone

27:38 that wants to get it. Not everybody's going to want to get it there you go but we're looking at a full vaccine is that a correct statement? yeah will yes so the answer what is the questioning we're looking at a full vaccine what does that like a half hey man I'll take the a quarter a quarter back in context she was asking are you gonna something that's not quite fully approved I understand I understand look at a full vaccine, is that a correct statement? Yeah Will So the answer is yes, we're working for a fully approved vaccine but we'll also use the tools that we have. For instance emergency use authorization as appropriate We will use all of our regulatory tools to bring vaccines available for the entire American population by January

28:23 Okay, and then Mr. President can you just clarify why are some of you wearing a mask and why are some of you not wearing a mask? Oh please! We've all been tested I've been tested we've all been tested And were quite a distance away and were outdoors So uh...I told them- I gave them the option they could wear it or not See you can blame it on me but I gave him the option if we could wear it or not So the president is there saying kind of what I'd like Optional vaccine optional masks and also optional open carry So Rick Bright was the guy who has traditionally for many years, he's been in and out of government and back to the pharmaceutical industry multiple times. And he is the guy that was supposed to be in charge of the vaccine this is the

29:08 BARDA, the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority. And this was unceremoniously taken away from him as he was pushed out and now of course he's a whistleblower so oh yeah we- He has a job but listen to this guy's career and you start to understand why you really don't want him in the business of vaccines in this case certainly As he started Yeah, well in Atlanta Georgia Vaccine Research Center 98 to 2002 we worked at the CDC in Atlanta where he studied influenza A virus and the H5N1. From 2000-2003 he went to the pharmaceutical industry which is always great when you're in government and then you go to the private industry and then you can shepherd stuff in so he went to Altea Therapeutics

Dr. Rick Bright, the former head of BARDA, testifies before Congress, warning of a "darkest winter" if the U.S. does not improve its pandemic response. The hosts analyze Bright's career, noting his frequent movement between the CDC, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and the pharmaceutical industry. They criticize his rhetoric about "trusting the science" as a means to consolidate power among unelected experts.

28:23 Okay, and then Mr. President can you just clarify why are some of you wearing a mask and why are some of you not wearing a mask? Oh please! We've all been tested I've been tested we've all been tested And were quite a distance away and were outdoors So uh...I told them- I gave them the option they could wear it or not See you can blame it on me but I gave him the option if we could wear it or not So the president is there saying kind of what I'd like Optional vaccine optional masks and also optional open carry So Rick Bright was the guy who has traditionally for many years, he's been in and out of government and back to the pharmaceutical industry multiple times. And he is the guy that was supposed to be in charge of the vaccine this is the

29:08 BARDA, the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority. And this was unceremoniously taken away from him as he was pushed out and now of course he's a whistleblower so oh yeah we- He has a job but listen to this guy's career and you start to understand why you really don't want him in the business of vaccines in this case certainly As he started Yeah, well in Atlanta Georgia Vaccine Research Center 98 to 2002 we worked at the CDC in Atlanta where he studied influenza A virus and the H5N1. From 2000-2003 he went to the pharmaceutical industry which is always great when you're in government and then you go to the private industry and then you can shepherd stuff in so he went to Altea Therapeutics

30:04 which is also in Atlanta, and he was a senior researcher for their vaccine immunology programs. In 2003 he went back to the CDC so only a year that it was in private business and then he was still in Atlanta but then he was focused on the avian flu and he was there until 2006. Then 2006-2008 he went to Novavax like the number one penny stock of vaccine bull crap on the stock market. During that time, he participated in World Health Organization committees on vaccine development and pandemic preparedness and then in 2008 he worked at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation And then in 2010 he came back to the Department of Health and Human Services

30:52 So, the guy is way too entrenched in the pharmaceutical business. I don't think you want this guy running the show and the fact that he's so pissed off about it and so angry that he has become a whistleblower tells us...I'm sorry? Go on! ...that this was not the way its supposed to go We are going to learn eventually so much about the pharmaceutical and medical industry, and all the egos, and all the money that takes place. And it's gonna blow us away because of the scandal and bull crap in the money is

31:29 10 times bigger than then than movies, especially the ego. Today this is Rick Bright testifying because of course we got to testify! Today the world is confronting a public health emergency unlike any we've seen in over a century We are facing a highly transmissible and deadly virus which not only claims lives but also disrupts the very foundations of our society The American health care system is being taxed to the limit. Our economy is spiraling downward and our population is being paralyzed by fear stemming from a lack of coordinated response and a dearth of accurate, clear communication about the path forward Americans yearn to get back to work To open their businesses and provide for their families I get that

32:17 However, what we do must be done. What is he like in charge? He sounds like he's the premier of Canada Get back to work To open their businesses and provide for their families I get that But this is the attitude of these people! I am king! However what we do must be done carefully with guidance from the best scientific minds Our window of opportunity is closing. If we fail to improve our response now, based on science I fear the pandemic will get worse and be prolonged. Yeah this is my favorite part as now we're bringing it all back around to science and trust the science. Oh yeah that's because the Republicans in particular don't believe in science There will likely a resurgence of COVID-19 this fall It'll be greatly compounded by the challenges of seasonal influenza

33:13 Without better planning, 2020 could be the darkest... Hold on a second. These guys this goes on with Biden too Where's the science? Where is this science that says it's going to recur in the fall of 2020. Oh no, there is no science. Specifically what science? He's talking about science, science, science! What science specifically name something? What study do they know for a fact that thing has not fallen apart I mean Is there any evidence whatsoever This is all speculative Without better planning, 2020 could be the darkest winter in modern history. First and foremost- I love could be the darkest winter in modern history Have you heard of The Hunger Winter, A-hole? Without better planning, 2020 could be the darkest winter in modern history. First and foremost we need to be truthful with American people

34:10 Americans deserve the truth. The truth must be based on science We have the world's greatest scientists... Now, the truth must be based on science is a very interesting phrase and I think we're going to hear this a lot more because there's really only truth in one thing and that's mathematics And what they're showing us is mathematics and there's no truth in it You know what I'm saying? Science is not always truth. In fact, it's kind of never truth but we've been through this with global warming and the Green New Deal and climate change and it's just coming back Please ignore the math that was all wrong Trust in science People Americans deserve the truth The truth must be based on science We have the world greatest scientist Let us lead let us speak without fear of retribution

34:57 There you go, John. Let us lead! Let us lead! They want to give the power to the scientists to let them lead you. We must listen each of us can and must do our part now on Tuesday Dr Fauci delivered a message in a voice that is clear and trustworthy as encouraged us to act with caution as we return to our daily lives We should listen to him and other scientists sharing their expertise. Yeah, it's so bad that to push the science and believe the signs truth is in science CNN did a special Sanjay Gupta Anderson Cooper bringing in one of them on to that I have to play a couple things because cuz bright testimony was a fiasco and it was a disaster

CHAPTER 11 / 38 Discussion

Congressional Hearing Chaos, Representative Greg Walden's Critique

The Rick Bright subcommittee hearing is described as a "fiasco" and a "sham" due to procedural confusion. Representative Greg Walden criticizes the committee for holding a hearing for a witness who is not officially representing the government nor clearly established as a whistleblower. The segment highlights the lack of traditional swearing-in of witnesses and the political theater surrounding the event.

greg walden· anna eshoo· congress· rick bright· whistleblower· lying to congress

35:42 And I want to play two things that preluded this little dispeel which everybody clipped about all we're going to have this dark winter and all the rest of it. Let's listen how this thing actually began, this is the bright testimony confusion Okay, here we go. Five minutes for an opening statement? Well you don't think it's resolved well are we going to ask if he wants to be represented by counsel and then who the council is Dr.. Bright do you wish to be represented by counsel yes okay And then could she identify herself for the record for the record would Council please state your name

36:24 My name is Deborah Katz. I'm an attorney representing Dr Rick Bright at the law firm of Katz, Marshall & Banks. Thank you. Well, the gentleman is recognized for his five minutes. Parliamentary questions. I'm glad you got this John this is very good. So... The gentlemen's state is parliamentary? Yeah it will the witness be under oath because if you have a witness whistleblower testimony under O&I and witness would normally be under oath and if not today he's he's under oath, not under oath then if we get into whistleblower allegations how can we be assured that the witness is telling the truth uh... at under under oath if they're not under oath and if they are not under oath than how can you talk about it with the whistle blower complaints I thank the gentleman for his inquiry in a fair and equitable manner. I thank the gentleman for his inquiry all witnesses know that it is illegal

37:25 to lie to Congress. And in our subcommittee, unlike ONI they are the only subcommittees that I mean it's a practice of... It's a tradition but we don't swear people in but witnesses know that it is illegal to lie to Congress. USC 1003 or something Thank you Now, a couple of things. One that's just Anna Eshoo that's heading this subcommittee and she doesn't know what she's doing and so the Republican guy has to tell her how to do things properly and they have to walk through a bunch of things but this lying-to-Congress thing I didn't realize and apparently there is some US code... So what about James Clapper?

38:14 No, that doesn't count. The thing is we're living in a world of calling out hypocrisy and that's all anyone does all the time and it has no benefit Doesn't go anywhere. It hasn't gone anywhere so far was let's get to part two this is another uh now the uh The head republican whose name I wrote on a back of an envelope, I got it back there He's from Oregon he's a congressman. He's very good by the way this guy and i'll get his uh, go get that envelope but Now this is the beginning of the the kind of the true confusion and this makes the whole thing a joke and if he asked go, in fact they brought up this lawyer. He wants to be represented by counsel. He says yeah I want to be represented by counsel she says absolutely nothing the whole time. He never once asks her a question so that

39:09 She's just up there as a joke. And so this part of it makes it even more of a joke. This is Representative Walden, I believe. Walden? Yes, Walden. Greg Walden from... He's quite good, quite good. We have asked for and this committee should hold hearings to find a path forward to reform the strategic national stockpile, to increase domestic manufacturing of critical supplies and disentangle our supply chains from China. We should be exploring strategies for increased testing so we can begin to safely reopen our economy. We need to find ways to improve access to mental health and provide relief both for our health care providers on the front lines treating COVID-19 cases and our healthcare workers who have been furloughed because their hospitals are closed. We should be conducting rigorous oversight of the trillions of dollars in myriad new policies Congress has appropriated and enacted in the last three months, and we should be investigating – really investigating allegations like Dr. Bright's that raise concern about our nation's coronavirus response."

40:08 That does not appear to be why we're actually here today and frankly it saddens me. Dr. Bright, your allegations are serious they deserve a real investigation I know the Office of Special Accounts with whom you filed your complaint will do just that And i know they take their work seriously and will hear you out and importantly will give those named in your complaint An opportunity to have their side heard as well I must tell you that many of us on our committee were confused when we learned from a tweet this hearing was scheduled in wake of your complain As you know, that's certainly not how we do things at the Energy and Commerce Committee. Not long after the notice of this being a whistleblower hearing we were advised here is a government witness not a whistleblower but then we were told you are not representing the government but yourself The hearing title suggests the hearings about protecting scientific integrity yet the chair invited a witness who will not be speaking to that issue So it's all pretty confusing and unusual to say the least

41:03 Here we are in the middle of a pandemic and we aren't given time to secure our witnesses, conduct appropriate research or acquire documents that could aid in our understanding the situation you face and the country face. So the whole thing is a sham Of course it is. It was set up so Breit can go up there and say slam the president, and lie and do whatever he wants He didn't have to tell the truth But the joke is that he didn't do a very good job of any of it except that one clip you played which is pretty much what everyone played So I consider the whole thing an epic fail To be honest about it Yeah but going back... The push now, and thats really what I wanted to prove with that clip

CHAPTER 12 / 38 Discussion

Greta Thunberg on CNN, Scientific Authority

CNN is criticized for featuring climate activist Greta Thunberg as an expert voice on the COVID-19 pandemic. The hosts mock Anderson Cooper for admitting he was a poor science student while simultaneously urging viewers to "follow the science." They argue that Thunberg is being used to bridge the gap between the pandemic and the climate change agenda.

greta thunberg· cnn· anderson cooper· sanjay gupta· climate crisis· science

41:48 The push is for truth, science is truth. That's the push and let the scientists lead we kind of heard that but now he's this guy he's the Pied Piper and he supposed to say the things everyone going to repeat and you'll hear well as Dr Bright said... You know you're gonna hear that I don't think so So we had the big Rona special on CNN with Anderson Cooper and Sanjay Gupta, and there she is. The expert when it comes to science all things science the ever so idealistic Greta Thunberg. I'm seeing you talk about online too is just how important it is to listen to experts and listen to science and this is a time when you know I was not a very good science student

42:35 when I was in school. But this is a time it seems that the global scientific community is so critically important and we're really seeing just how important it is to follow science Yes, yes exactly and... And I hope that... Is she a PhD? Oh oh yes listen to her message She'll do 50 seconds of the same thing We can see now the scientific community are stepping up They're speaking up more than they have there done before big, you know I gotta tell you for a 16 year old Swedish girl the term stepping up like the scientists are stepping Up is an odd thing for her to be using just in my opinion. Yeah You'd I don't know did that how kids talk about that or the Swedes? That's all they talked about stepping up Yes exactly and and I hope that

43:30 We can see now that the scientific community are stepping up and they are speaking out more than they have done before. Because obviously this is a crisis that would require the scientific community to speak out, and I hope people really... it feels like science is getting the role of science is changing now. It's becoming more people are starting to realize that we are actually depending on science and that we need to listen to scientists and experts, and I really hope that stays

44:11 is for other crises such as the climate crisis and the environmental crisis that we actually understand like, we have to listen to scientists. Are freaked out about this whole situation because they've been talking about being put on the back burner They've been taken off the stove Yeah, they're back in the pantry Where they belong yeah I think so that's why it's important to have Greta back on the scene So she can maintain her profile people forget pretty quickly but

44:51 Okay, we have Anderson Cooper. Like you said the big three there was Anderson Cooper who admittedly says he was a lousy student and he didn't flunk science so he's an idiot. And then you get Greta Thunberg who It was a kid. She's just that kid let's face reality and then you have it to the MD as doctor Yeah, but do the houser was only just panel Doogie Howser was only this is a kid as well You know it's like these kids can be very smart they can be geniuses Remember who are you talking to your average CNN viewer? They're seeing in viewers which is small group of people Let's face it yeah, it's under a million generally speaking Is we probably have a bigger audience

Trump vs. Fauci, Media Messaging on Reopening

Media outlets like CBS and PBS are analyzed for their consistent framing of Dr. Anthony Fauci as a "hero" and President Trump as "visceral" and "instinctive." The discussion covers the tension regarding the reopening of schools and the media's reliance on polling to show that Americans trust Fauci more than the President. Mark Shields and David Brooks are cited for their role in reinforcing these narratives on PBS.

anthony fauci· donald trump· cbs news· pbs· david brooks· mark shields· schools

45:37 probably is the dumbest audience that watches television and thinks they're keeping up. Because you have to imagine that you think you're keeping up because it's all about news, news, news, news! No, it's opinion. It's all about opinion the central intelligence broadcast system I think really did a good job in Pitting the two main people that it's all about who is going to lead us That's that's what its coming down to this week or I haven't seen The Sunday shows but I'm sure it's part of it who was going to lead us Trump the president or Fauci The God. President Trump continues to push the country to quickly bounce back and says he does not consider that happening without reopening schools, claiming the virus has had very little impact on young people. But you're right his own top health experts disagree. Look, he wants to play all sides of the equation. President Trump pushed back against the warning Dr Anthony Fauci delivered at a Senate hearing the day before there is a real risk

46:40 that you will trigger an outbreak that you may not be able to control. We don't know everything about this virus and we really better be very careful, particularly when it comes to children." Just to interrupt I'm a little tired of...we don't know very much about this virus Why not? I mean, you've been studying this for 40 years. It's similar to other SARS virus. And I don't feel very comfortable hearing we don't know what... We don't know! But then telling me it's gonna be the worst winter in history This is very contradictory. Very careful, particularly when it comes to children I was surprised by his answer actually because you know It's just... To me it's not an acceptable answer especially when it comes to schools But a new CBS News poll finds that most Americans trust Dr Fauci though his unfavorable rating among conservatives has increased since April The country needs guidance

47:40 of the nation's best medical and scientific experts. These literally are matters of life and death." As Democrats demand more guidance from the federal government, today the administration's former top vaccine researcher Rick Bright will testify before a House committee that if their response is not ramped up 2020 will be the darkest winter in modern history. I think CBS does a good job wrapping up the messaging that they want Trump bad Fauci good. What exact same messaging that PBS is using? No, yes has been going to there They had shields and Brooks on and they went on and on it. Let's hear it I want to hear what you got well We got a few things here. I get the lot of stuff on biting but if yeah no Well Biden will come let's finish up the Rona let's do shields and Brooks on PBS research notes

48:35 and Go to go to shields on reopening. Seize battle PBS president and he said it again today, we need to move ahead whether we're ready or not on the you know in the direction of opening up. Yes, he did Judy and the President proves once again He's not actually strategic or tactical in his political fights that he engages in. He's visceral. His instinctive

49:11 You should always, if you're going after somebody politically... Okay stop. We have to start this over because you gotta listen to what he did she she says Trump wants to go ahead and reopen the country and this is like this messaging that uses brought up on CBS and it's also being played out on PBS and elsewhere It's as though the overlying talking points, the message or something else sneaks in as a given into conversations where it shouldn't. So she's asking them to... The president wants to reopen the country and his response is he doesn't know how to pick his battles. He's not strategic, wait a minute! He wants to reopen the country is not at battle who's a battle with who? Well we know it's assumed they already know what the balance is about between Fauci and Trump because they want to lower Trump's numbers put somebody else you know that called the shots in help continue ruin the country

50:11 The world, not just the country. The world! Yeah the world, yeah one world government will take care of that by the way Although every country has their own Fauci Yes, every country has their own Fauci. Yeah all connected own Fauci Mm-hmm got pictures of Fauci on the background on their desk man. They're all Fauci's disciples disciples the Pope disciples So you have this we played again this clip now that we have that you want to play it over with it in mind that what she says and then what he jumps in with is discrepant President, and he said it again today. We need to move ahead whether we're ready or not on the you know in the direction of opening up. Yes he did Judy and uh... The president proves once again He's not actually strategic or tactical in his political fights that engages in. Uh..He is visceral. Uh... His instinctive

51:04 You should always, if you're going after somebody politically go after somebody who's a lot weaker than you are politically or less popular. I mean Democrats won five consecutive presidential elections running against Herbert Hoover because they're the depression and unpopular is the Republican president but But he picked Anthony Fauci, Dr. Fauci David mentioned has been there since Reagan years but not only that when in a presidential debate when George HW Bush was asked to cite a contemporary American hero he cited dr. Anthony Fauci what a hero

Gates Foundation Testing, FDA Pause on SCAN

The FDA has reportedly asked the Seattle Coronavirus Assessment Network (SCAN), a program funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, to pause its home testing kits. The program was intended to track the spread of the virus through self-swabbing, but regulatory hurdles have halted the process. The hosts note that this story has been significantly underreported in mainstream media.

bill gates· gates foundation· fda· scan· seattle· antibody testing

51:39 Not anymore in my book. And now remember, the in order to get back to work it really is about nine things testing testing testing tracing tracing tracing isolation isolation isolation so we got a test you we gotta trace here we gotta isolate you and I have been identifying along with some of our no agenda lab personnel that the antibody tests are increasingly difficult to put together. The material they're receiving from, I'm not sure where it comes from, I think some of it if not all from China seems to be faulty and not the same results and this is what certainly a lot of people want and feel as necessary to go back to work because we have to test for the antibodies

52:30 And obviously the leading group on the test for antibodies is run by, who else could it be? The Gates Foundation. It's not really run by them but they're a major funder of this group and the FBA has stepped in! The program sought to send test kits to the home of people both healthy and sick, to try to bring the country to the level of testing officials say is necessary before states can begin safely reopening. The program which has already gone through thousands of tests found dozens of cases that had previously been undiagnosed

53:09 The Seattle Coronavirus Assessment Network said on its website that the FDA has asked it to pause testing while it receives additional authorizations, but maintained its procedures are safe. The story is so underplayed that you can't even get a clip, you have to get a computer voice reading the copy from Bill. You know what's funny? That computer voice sounds like another one of these online commentators, Bill Still Oh, really? I had to cut it to put pauses in to make the transition natural. It's so bad! But that's how underreported this is nobody wants to really let you know that its failing Meanwhile without a doubt Science based New York has some great ideas for getting back to work and New York has problems but

New York Tennis Social Distancing Rules

A humorous segment examines the specific social distancing guidelines for tennis in New York. Players are instructed to bring their own marked balls to avoid touching equipment used by others. The hosts mock the absurdity of the rules, which include suggestions to use markers to identify "whose balls are whose."

new york· tennis· social distancing· humor· sports

54:00 They do want people to at least go back and play some tennis. Every player, unless they're from the same household has to bring their own tennis balls so that you don't touch other people's tennis balls with your hands You can kick their balls but you can't touch them Okay is that ISO worthy? You can kick their balls but you can't touch them It gets better because she recognizes what she's doing and this is our humorous moment of the show. With your hands you can kick their balls but you can't touch them I'm getting a blush, sorry Of course if you're playing with someone in your household you can touch those tennis balls

54:46 To avoid confusion between whose balls are whose, you can use a marker. You have to sharpie to mark out and put an X on the initials on it." I give her high marks for that! High marks! I love it that everyone's cracking up we just needed that moment of like oh okay okay okay feels so much better now You have to number the balls like you do with balls. You gotta number them and the ball boys, they can't be grabbing everybody's balls They only can only get the balls on their side of them From their team. You can only touch your teams balls it goes on forever obviously you can have a lot of fun with this I have

New York Nursing Home Crisis, Governor Cuomo's Executive Orders

An IT professional working in a New York City nursing home provides a "boots on the ground" report regarding Governor Andrew Cuomo's handling of the elderly. The report alleges that nursing homes were forced to accept COVID-positive patients from hospitals despite being unprepared and lacking PPE. Later, the state mandated twice-weekly testing for all staff, creating a massive financial and logistical burden for facilities.

andrew cuomo· new york city· nursing homes· ppe· testing mandates· hospital surge

55:33 Since it's also being obfuscated, I have an update from a New York City nursing home where a good half of all of New York City patients died. Would you like to hear this from a dude named Ben who works in IT? Yeah, this is the... So what we've been discussing and what is on our radar is the fact that the governor signed a number of orders which really put sick people back into nursing homes without proper separation, not all of them but really unprepared and that infected a lot of people and killed a lot of people. And he doesn't want to own up to it I don't think he will. I'm not blaming him specifically shit happens in an emergency this is not a good one

56:28 But, you know I don't want to be talking about the hypocritical nature of it. Obviously we know if this was a Republican who had done it the media would have been talking about it but even Fox News isn't really talking about this no one wants to know so here's our report boots on the ground dude named Ben that's not really his name but dude named Benny works in IT for a large New York City nursing home A few facts about how our governor Cuomo has handled this vulnerable population From the beginning we were told by the government and New York State Department of Health that we cannot test staff and residents as there is not enough testing supplies, and hospitals are more important.

57:06 That's mistake number one. The only way we could test a patient was to transfer them to the hospital, then they were tested. The only way you could test staff is to have them go to their private doctor get them to call the state testing hotline and if symptomatic get an appointment for a testing center therefore there was a very low death rate reported by nursing homes since they couldn't test and therefore could not confirm that deaths were COVID-19 related Then Cuomo ordered all nursing homes to accept COVID-19 positive discharges, that's people from the hospital. Most nursing homes are unprepared for this do not have sufficient PPE or staffing nor the ability to isolate

57:47 We partnered at that time with a large New York City hospital system, created a dedicated COVID-19 recovery unit and gladly accepted positive patients once we put in place the appropriate infection control procedures and received sufficient PPE from our hospital partner. Then Cuomo woke up! and realized many nursing homes were not equipped to handle COVID-19 positive patients, and the death count went up and issued another executive order forbidding nursing homes from accepting COVID-19 positive patients. They will surely back up hospitals and create an artificial surge." Then Cuomo mandated... This is crazy!

58:23 that all nursing home patients and staff be tested. We had a team of 20 from the Department of Health here this week, tested all residents and staff over four days we now have to put a plan in place by May 20th how we're going to continue to test staff twice a week even though there are not enough testing supplies lab capacity logistical ability nurses and doctors to swab and cost of millions of dollars per month per facility will become a financial hardship If we don't have a plan, we risk losing our license and I really don't look forward to having my brain poked an additional two times per week going forward. You two are so spot on in much of your analysis Thank you for all you do is spread the truth analyze each issue Stay safe keep your six-foot social distance figure out how to wear a mask during haircuts thank you So again Cuomo certainly but i think in general doesn't care about the elderly Doesn't care about old people cares about the hospital And the money that they can make

59:18 I'm just going to say that. In the state, and getting a bailout... He does not like- he did not care for the actual people who needed um... No he's about money Yes! And it's disturbing When you read this... It was disturbing insofar as he's like worshipped along with Fauci by the Democrats and especially the ones that kind of hope Biden moves aside so Cuomo could take over, even though we've already shown on this show that that's not even a possibility because Cuomo's commentary where he says America has never been a great country which is all you have to do just keep playing that audio forever and then he's never gonna get a vote. Yeah it's the dumbest thing anyone could ever say yeah

CHAPTER 17 / 38 Discussion

Media Indoctrination, The Church Commission Legacy

The hosts discuss the history of intelligence agency influence on the American media, referencing the 1975 Church Commission. They argue that the practice of the CIA placing stories in major news networks and newspapers never truly ended. This historical context is used to explain the current state of "indoctrination" and propaganda in modern news coverage.

church commission· cia· media· indoctrination· gulf of tonkin· new york times

1:00:03 So as a politician, I mean people can say it right but but all of it is just It's so sad them you were arguing about the wrong things No one and then the media of course has not been your friend for a long long time But it's just gotten so bad very bad. A lot of people who get notes from his saying that their media is I mean the media has been bad for a long time and we've documented it for the last 10 years, and then as we go back in history you can go back to the Gulf of Tonkin and those other things that took place. The media fell off the side. The media's never been any good! Well... And it was interesting, I was talking to the Keeper about the Church Commission

1:00:47 I think, has it always been like this indoctrination into the media? I said yeah in 75 there was a big hearing. The Church Commission and the CIA sat there saying yeah we have people on staff who send in stories to reporters in the printed press and then the question came in well do you have anybody at major television news network well that had to be discussed in private setting Yeah, and the same for anyone at The New York Times. Well we think we should discuss that in a private setting so yes and if you think it went away it did not. So why would it? No! It's good mechanism works well for them but unfortunately where a lot of people are sucked into it. Remember the Pennsylvania Secretary of Health that we discussed and that you had questions about the secretary's appearance

Pennsylvania Health Secretary Controversy, Humor and Cancel Culture

A restaurant owner in Braddock, Pennsylvania, faced backlash and accusations of transphobia after posting a photo comparing Pennsylvania Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine to the character Wayne from *Wayne's World*. The hosts defend the post as a joke about physical resemblance rather than an attack on the LGBTQ community, criticizing the "soulless" nature of modern cancel culture.

rachel levine· pennsylvania· lgbtq· wayne's world· cancel culture· humor

1:01:42 Have you ever seen the appearance of the health secretary from Los Angeles? Well, let's stick with Pennsylvania for a second. Yeah, go on. So you were... your hunch was correct we didn't know much about the secretary of health. Oh the transsexual woman? The transsexual exactly. Transwoman well the guy there's a guy there was a guy who's not you who pretty much got canceled because he too made fun of the Health Secretary of Pennsylvania And here's a little story about it. Robert Portogallo is the owners of Pepper's and At Here in Braddock, super popular restaurant in our region. But Portogallo is coming under fire for recent Facebook comments that he posted on his personal page Comments that some say are transphobic These are the Facebook posts that Robert Portogallo shared on his page Now what's interesting is what you see Is a picture of him with a wig on and looking like

1:02:43 And then you see a picture of the Secretary of Health next to each other. Above that, which I think was funny in the actual joke—this is not a trans joke—was a picture of Wayne from Wayne's World with the stupid glasses looks exactly like the Secretary of Health. So I think he was saying, oh you look like Wayne from Waves World. Separated at birth. Yeah! Tagging his restaurant Peppers and At in one of the posts Portogallo is wearing a wig glasses and pearls appearing to mimic the look of Pennsylvania Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine, who is a transgender woman another post shows Portogallo appearing to impersonate dr. Levine holding a news conference around rolls of toilet paper with the caption now we know who hoarded all the toilet paper while portogallo says his intent was to be funny members are the LGBTQ community aren't laughing and you should see this video it's uh... this

1:03:43 spokesperson or, I'm sorry member of the LGBT community is wearing a rainbow mask pink flags you know and it's weird to hear this person see the person talking with the mask over their face. She has done nothing but be a wonderful compassionate leader in guiding the Commonwealth in making sure they stay safe. Christine Bryan is with the Delta Foundation of Pittsburgh whose mission is to fight for the LGBTQ community I know there's a lot of people that didn't realize that she was a member of the transgender community and truthfully it doesn't matter yeah exactly just like everybody else with an extensive resume, um...that is so impressive So impressive but listen

1:04:25 Shut up! It was not an LGBT joke. It was about Wayne's world and it was humor we can't have humor you soulless people. No, by the way a battle axe is a transgender battle axe? An old woman or even an old man doesn't matter but no let's immediately take it into all... And by the way it's okay to make fun of the president and his orange hair. Orange Man Bad That's okay, but oh no. Oh no this immediately has to be taken into LGBTQ shut up so annoying yes the appearance bigotry needs to be consistent in In Texas you can mock the president for being orange Or a clown or whatever you want to call him let it be your open its open game It's open so you go after anybody think you'd think but know I

Texas Economic Militias, New Zealand Gun Confiscation

In Texas, "traveling economic militias" are reportedly standing guard outside businesses that choose to reopen in defiance of local orders, using their right to open carry as a deterrent. Contrastingly, the hosts point to New Zealand, where a new bill allows police to enter homes without a warrant following the country's recent gun confiscation measures.

texas· militias· open carry· new zealand· jacinda ardern· search warrants

1:05:22 Yes, so the final things I have is what's going on locally here in Texas as you know, there's a lot of pushback from people who want to open up and uh you know there's what we're seeing now across the country is some of the more rigorous mayors and or government more mayors than anything but governors as well. They will take away your license so you can't operate doing anything to shame you or thwart you from conducting your business legally which It's legal. This is not a violation of law, it's a violation of some kind of social standards that we're now tied into So in Texas we have the traveling economic malicious and this is new

1:06:10 These guys are going all over Texas and they are protecting businesses that want to open up. And they stand in front with their rifles, and of course all kinds of intimidating looking gear...and you know what? Businesses are open! And that I think is sad that it has to go that way. I like it! It's great that it has to go that way And you know, I would participate in that if someone was having problems. I'd jump right in to stand there no one's gonna... this is why we have guns when this type of situation appears let's look at a country that just took away their guns in New Zealand and let's see what kind of powers they've given to their Prime Minister

1:06:52 This bill enables the police to enter a home without a warrant. Madam Speaker, the police have never held that power at all They have never held that power and this bill...this bill enables police just on reasonable cause to enter into your home Sweet! It's just like the good old King George III. They used to bust into houses too, that's why they put in the Bill of Rights when we told them to sod off Yeah! Good times over there

Wuhan Lab Cell Phone Data, Falun Gong Media Influence

A report from NTD (New Tang Dynasty) suggests that cell phone location data showed a total shutdown of the Wuhan Institute of Virology in October 2019, hinting at a "hazardous event." The hosts discuss the origins of NTD and The Epoch Times, noting their ties to the Falun Gong movement and their long-standing "blood feud" with the Chinese Communist Party.

wuhan institute of virology· nbc news· ntd· epoch times· falun gong· cell phone data

1:07:30 Yeah, well New Zealand's a wreck. The place is a mess I want to play the one card game that's on here Excuse me? I mean I do have some-I have the round the world tour which has got some good stuff but I had to get this out of the way in the before we go To the break which is the Something it doesn't get a lot of play. I looked into it seems to be true It seems to be an accurate report. It's not a joke. It's not that the sacrament the B or whatever That thing is the new onion The sacral lab report. What is it? The B the be the Babylon be the Babylon that won't be the people at the wall Sorry, what sorry

1:08:07 The P4 lab at the Wuhan Institute of Virology has come under scrutiny as a potential source of the virus. According to an NBC report, a hazardous event may have happened in the lab in October last year Three people familiar with the matter told NBC that U.S intelligence agencies are reviewing an unofficial report on cell phone location data The report found there was no cell phone activity around the high security part of the P4 lab between October 7th and 24th last year. The report suggests there may have been a hazardous event sometime between October 6th and 11th that required the lab to be closed during that time

1:08:47 The report talks about images from October 14th to 19th last year showing no outbound traffic from the lab. It suspected a roadblock was set up to prevent cars and people coming and going This is in contrast to satellite images from August to October 6 which show a lot of activity The next instance of activity was on October 25 U.S. Senator Tom Cotton also spoke about the data in an interview with Fox News. Cotton said normally thousands of mobile phones are in use around this area. Wuhan has about the same population density as New York, he adds the sudden drop in cell phone usage is likely an indicator of when the virus first began spreading He said we could get to the bottom of it a lot faster if the Chinese regime was more transparent

1:09:36 U.S. intelligence officials say the evidence is not enough on its own, they are still investigating. Now where did this report come from? This came from a news operation called NTD which is Chinese operation that NTD stands for New Tang Dynasty and it turns out that these are the same group that comes out of the, like the Epoch Times. Oh right right right right right Same operations, Falun Gong Yeah they hate to the Chinese obviously They hate the Chinese, well it's Falun Gong and its a Falun Gong band in China And I will be writing an essay about this because the Falun Gong phenomenon is quite interesting This operation only began in the 90s

1:10:23 There was a moment in history where this There's all these different movement practices in China and Qi Gong, it was one of them that goes back I think 3,000 years at least. And it became for some unknown reason a super popular again... It began this popularity began in the 50s and then got incredibly popular in the 90s. And it's like Tai Chi, Qi Gong there's a bunch of these are all interconnected. Gong also is just like Kong so kung fu all these different movement ideologies are part of Chinese culture and in the mid 90s this

1:11:02 Qi Gong is extremely popular and an offshoot called Falun Gong came up, and became so popular so quickly that it garnered like 70 million followers within a couple of years. And by the end of the same decade it was banned in China because it was seen as dangerous. Yeah. Then ever since then has been this blood feud between these people and the Chinese Communist Party I'm glad you went into that and whenever I see the Epoch Times, I bear that in mind. They have an agenda but a lot of people don't even know this. It's Epoch Times? What else is there online? Well this one here is NTD, the news service. There's also something called Happy Life.

1:11:47 morning or something they're doing. This NTD stands for New Tang Dynasty and the Tang dynasty is interesting because that's the one that took place between about 600 and 900 very early in modern Chinese history, There was a 300-year reign with it, with a hole in the middle of it where the evil Empress Wu ruled that little era. It was the only full empress in the history of China that actually had total complete power and she was evil. She was a whore apparently who somehow got into government

1:12:24 Yeah, which does happen. Now was that before the Wu-Tang clang or a little bit before just before the Wu-Tang Clan? All right. Little Chinese history for you everybody. This stuff has its implications and these Fallen Gone guys have got some very serious, this is good journalism they've been producing to be honest about it I mean i know it's slanted too but it's pretty well done Well all news is slanted but you still have to pick out what you can as long as you know what's going on about the lab getting shut down, which has been debunked. Of course! The lab having something to do with it is not being played by anybody and apparently NBC did have this story but they kind of suppressed it. They got cut? Mm-hmm So what is your takeaway with that then? The virus came from the Chinese Lab I think just like the French guy...The French Nobel Prize winner in medicine who discovered the AIDS virus

Maurice de Hond and Data Censorship in the Netherlands

Maurice de Hond, a famous Dutch pollster and statistician, has reportedly been banned from mainstream media in the Netherlands after criticizing the government's COVID-19 data collection and modeling. Adam Curry considers interviewing de Hond, noting that experts with dissenting opinions are being "canceled" globally and forced onto independent podcast platforms.

maurice de hond· netherlands· data· statistics· censorship· podcasting

1:13:21 is the guy who I think is right and they all call it everyone calls him a crackpot. Now, yes now they do! He's got his Nobel Prize he's got his chops you know yet he's a crackpot this has happened yeah this is happening everywhere in the Netherlands there's a very famous statistician and pollster his name is Maurice de Hont and that translates interestingly to Maurice The Dog that is literally his name And Maurice, he's probably...he's got 10 years on me. I've worked with him in the past but he's very famous He's the guy that whenever there are elections, he is everywhere on television. He shows everybody the charts and numbers. He has it all down. He is very good at understanding data and he has been doing this since I was a child almost in the country watching him.

1:14:15 entirely banned from all mainstream and he's now appearing on podcasts. And I'm actually considering, because he speaks perfect English... I'm considering doing an interview with him because it's easy to get right now! It's because he said look the way you're collecting the data is shoddy You have completely incorrect data The numbers are no good Your models are no good Goodbye Maurice the dog So it happens, it's happening everywhere. Francis got that guy, crackpot get rid of him. Maurice de Honne I think his career is over not that he you know he has I'm sure he has plenty money but its odd to see the guy that I grew up watching as the authority on data and statistics and numbers to be completely shut out because he had a different opinion. Canceled! My man is canceled now before... You should have started off as a podcaster then you don't have this problem That's right

Donation Segment, Japan Update, and PPE Supply Chain

During the donation segment, Sir Mark and Dame Astrid provide further details on Japan's disciplined response to the virus. Another donor, Fred Librand, shares insights into the N95 mask manufacturing industry and the Defense Production Act. The segment also covers the record profits of D.C. lobbying firms and the "HeliPayments" animated short by Dame Jennifer.

1:21:04 We do have a few people to thank for show 1243 and I'm gonna have you read because you read part of this note already And you know where are you red? Where you didn't read yes, and this is from sir mark and Dame Astrid Duke and Duchess of Japan at all the disputed islands of the Japanese Sea and they came in with three hundred thirty-three dollars 33 cents and with a whole bunch of nice pictures of themselves their staff They are wearing masks and bragging about it. Oh, yes! Dear John Adam thank you for your courage the last few months of your virus deconstruction has been the best I wanted to give an update from the front line here in Japan we have dodged the bullet so far have only 739 deaths for a population over 126 million that's 5.8 deaths per million compared that to the US with 267 deaths per million Of course

1:21:53 That includes people who drink themselves to death. And the UK with 511 deaths per million, which is definitely people who drink themselves to death! Japan is an incredible 100 times less than the UK we have... that I'm curious they must be...I bet you the Japanese are accurate with their diagnosis of death, their cause of death do what do you think? I would agree with that. The Japanese are known for precision. We're not, apparently! Everything has to have a stamp and approval so they're not going to mess around. This is why the Lexus is such a good car...the ones made in Japan. Is that why the Lexus is such a good car? It's one of the reasons

1:22:35 Okay, now back to masks. And he says we've been doing it right yeah masks work the whole country wears them for flu season every year especially in the most crowded mass transit system in the world you wear them so you don't give your cold to others and people have been doing this for years and it's no big deal no stigma attached It's also meant that that we had, oh it's also important that we had more stock. Yes several billions of them there was just enough to go around mass usage went up with COVID but it also meant that it was the weakest flu season over 10 years and we went through the hotels that he spoke about contact tracing is big here not electronic just lots of legwork all the resources have been put on that end uh on I mean put on that end

1:23:19 on phones in mass transit, and on tracking COVID clusters. We might have been lucky getting a weaker strain but it helps not having to shake hands just bow no huggy kissy greetings no talking on phones in mass transit hand sanitizers almost everywhere high adoption of touchless electronic payment systems as well as burner cards Finally, the health care system here has a low barrier to entry. My kids can go to the local doctor themselves just take their national health card mom might rock up later very much neighborhood policing system. It's it's a very sophisticated disciplined society which has a lot of downsides too

1:23:56 The kids get a feeling for what's going on. It's by no means perfect, the prevention testing measures can be seen as flawed, the reporting flawed Japan is flawed but all the micro actions combined make it a rather safe place to be right now there's a lot to be learned from this fuzzy logic and staying calm Sir Mark and Day Master Duke and Duchess of Japan and all the disputed islands in the Japan Sea thank you so much for your courage and I can't wait to see you guys in Japan hope to go this year Hope to go. There's any flights? Yeah, exactly. Next on the list is Fred Librand in Medfield Massachusetts nuts $333 at the direction of Adam I've sent 333 to produce a next episode my last donation was episode 12 2-2-2 and de douching and Sprinkling of job karma would be appreciated give him a deducing You've been D douche

1:24:52 My son, Flynut Junior. Fly-not junior Yeah I've seen him around has a May 25th birthday. He's got one, and so does he. I think they're both on the birthday list you might want to check. Here's an update on what's going with the medical PPE. It ties to some of the Kaylee McEnany quotes that are making the rounds. One of my manufacturing sites produces layers used in N95 surgical masks. Here is part of what I think has been going on with lockdown and how PPE played a role

1:25:28 One, as the COVID hit the US we started summarizing more clearly what we knew about the industry. We guessed that the U S would make about 6 million N95 masks per day and the government was supposed to have a stockpile of 90 million based on 2004 paper but when created there was never more than 85 million at the start of the RONA it had about 12 million. As an example California's first request was for 20 million In late February, HHS said 90 million was wrong. The correct number should have been 330 million! Seven days later, HHS says the right number was really 3.5 billion! As we've dealt with the military via the Defense Production Act my guess is that the military and the rest of the US government did the same math and realized that the whole situation was hopelessly out of whack

1:26:24 Wait, we can make how many masks? That's not enough. At this point with the nature of the disease being very unclear the best option was to simply shut things down and give the supply chain time to get caught up. Masks and PPE will be part of the national... Meanwhile you can impeach Trump over this. Mass and PPE will be part of national defense strategy going forward. There's hoping that the rumored bill, that is a version of the Barry Amendment for medical supplies has passed soon. The Barry Amendment is legislation that requires the military to buy certain items from producers in the continental US

1:27:02 Kayleigh McEnany had a great quote in the recent briefing. Furthermore, what Crimson Contagion brought us is that President Trump was right all along about misguided economic and trade policies that left America vulnerable to pandemics." Well not vulnerable to pandemic but vulnerable due to a pandemic Yes, yes. But I totally get it so you Fred and Junior are on the list Thank you very much You see he seems to have a thing for Kaylee McEnany Yeah, I think that's the first time she's ever been mentioned in a donation segment before two times Donates again? You can assume it's gonna happen one more time Here's your jobs karma Fred Jobs jobs jobs and jobs Let's vote for job

1:27:54 You've got karma. And thank you for the support! Amy wrongfully said, that would be probably one of your clips. That quote corporate lobbying firms are being... Oh that's right we talked about the corporate lobbying firms being bailed out she's wrong there's no bailout provision for lobbyists I think we explained that but he says people should not misinterpret what that means lobbying firms including our own are making all-time high profits thanks to the abundance of new bailout slash appropriations bills

1:28:39 The biggest problem, love this. The biggest problem will be a lack of lobbyists next year because so many will retire following this year of record profits Can you believe that shit? The stage 4 and stage 5 stimulus packages are coming. Stage five he's talking about, are coming next and will likely include up to $5 trillion in new spending this is coming from the one of the money guys in DC so you can take that as some version of a future prediction sent some of the rock record profits to your way. No Agenda producers who need help of an evil corporate lobbyist can reach us, in case you need an evil corporate lobbyists, you can reach the official no agenda lobbyist firm at LobbyMeAtProtonMail.com. Jacob thank you very much for your courage and it's appreciated especially the knowledge that a stage five is coming up to 5 trillion dollars! Wooo!

The associate executive producer the first one is Arnis Selmans I can't find any note from him he said $289 and 56 cents He is in EE, I think. Is that Estonia? Or... Estonia! Yeah that's Estonia. He's in Estonia. Oh yeah Tallinn. Allow me to use my nifty new search bar in Microsoft. No I don't have it either let me see Search. Joanne Brady's next on the list at $220.22 By the way Arnas if you got something there you want us to say we'll send along

Please accept Corona cash of the best podcast ever Thanks also call out my brother Michael Brady for being a douchebag Okay Dame Jennifer by the way Arnett's appears to be a sir so I'm gonna get that straight Dame Jennifer is next on the list at 200 bucks Here's to your share of the very generous contributions we received recently regarding animated no agenda I still have major rona brain but i am so thankful i stumble on the no agenda almost ten years ago a big netty as bug nutty as i am lately i shudder to think how much crazier would be without another where she's one of the nervous rex.

1:31:17 Huge jobs car and maybe the Trump Pelosi combo to shake things up. She puts that as a question mark Mike My answer to that is no why? Don't shake you don't want to shake things up with experimental sketchy X Jingles, you know X's in like a experimental vehicle. The Rona has not been kind to the bottom line Please also sprinkle it out to the producers who are having trouble these days PS The 17th is my actual birthday and I feel so lucky that this is also a show day Well that sounds like she should be on the birthday.

CHAPTER 24 / 38 Discussion

Joe Biden Basement Broadcasts, Technical Glitches

Joe Biden's virtual campaign events from his basement are criticized for their poor production quality and frequent technical glitches. The hosts mock the "skeleton-like" video artifacts and the fawning coverage from MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough. Biden's insistence on "following the rules" of experts like Dr. Fauci is framed as a political strategy to contrast with President Trump.

It's a funny line but the fact is that this one was so bad it was almost like watching that movie you know They're Here or whatever its called where you put the glasses on and see all these horrible monsters. Yes

1:37:33 And so every time Biden moved, you know his head stayed there on one side and it became a skeleton head. It was the worst but before we play that I do have this one A clip I want to get out of the way which is Biden and apparently he was on they were talking about him Scarborough What's her name? Mika. Mika, Brazil's peace kid. They were discussing Biden's commentary when he was on GMA and I'm gonna play this clip because it's a combination of Biden telling why he's hiding...Biden is hiding! He's in his basement scared to death and the two of them are going on and on about how great it is because he's a winner

1:38:16 Now, everybody says Biden's hiding. Well let me tell you something we're doing very well we're following the guidelines of the medical profession We are following the guidelines of the experts and Dr Fauci is in the world were doing very well and that matter fact where winning if you look at all the polling data I'm not saying that's going to last till November i don't know enough to know that but right now the idea that somehow we are being hurt by my keeping to the rules and following the instructions that are, uh, that have been put forward by the docs is absolutely bizarre. I reject the premise that somehow this is hurting us. There's no evidence of that. I'm following the rules

1:38:58 Following the rules, the president should follow the rules instead of showing up at places without masks and the whole thing. I'm sorry. He wins that every time he wins that checkmate every time yeah you know really? You i understand the president and people some people inside the white house most of them understand they're whistling past a political graveyard but you know Donald Trump snubbing doctors advice in the middle of a pandemic that's killed now over 80,000 people. We have new estimates it's going to kill 140,000 150,000 people after Donald Trump whatever snubbed doctors advice early on and said this was nothing to worry about he loses to a dude who says hey I'm gonna follow the docs advice because guess what

1:39:47 Most Americans are following their docs advice. Following the advice of the doctors, so I mean Joe Biden's right! The Brzezinski child and the douche knuckle... Jeez! You know it's gonna we're coming close to banning them Yeah, you can't resist. Come on! It's the Mika, the Brzezinski child she is pretty funny. Which brings me to just a little break in the show here I have my list of ISOs which includes the top one Checkmate Oh hold on a second... Checkmate? I got it here The ISO yeah? Checkmate! Yeah? Checkmate! I have one i'd like to try on ya Okay Try this one

1:40:44 So I'm walking around with the coronavirus, I'm asymptomatic. You got it? You got the Rona is that what's going on here? I didn't know you had the corona virus. Let's try this one let's try this one try get this isn't a geese okay that's the geese here in the background mmm okay That was Biden okay lets just go to another Biden this following rules Following rules where are we Uh, oh got it. I'm following the rules! You know? I-I'm sorry... It just none of it competes with... You can kick their balls but you can't touch them. Mmmmm

CHAPTER 25 / 38 Discussion

Biden's "Pandemic" Gaffes, Economic Transformation Rhetoric

A series of clips from Joe Biden's virtual town halls highlight his verbal stumbles and confusing rhetoric regarding the economy and the pandemic. Biden discusses the 36.5 million unemployment claims and his plan to "transform the economy" to build a more resilient middle class. The hosts dismiss his "Lift Every Voice" agenda as pandering and lack of concrete policy.

1:41:28 If that wasn't so echoey, I'd say yes. Oh! So now we have to go to rule follower? Well let's... No no let's get another one try this one pandemic Okay We're in the middle of a pandemic Yeah thats the one That's done i like it thats a good one Why got 1 last one No you have more but wait there is more okay Put up or shut up? Put up, or shut up! Nah. No no no no no... I think you nailed it with this We're in the middle of a pandemic It's so perfect for Joe Before you do more Joe clips May i take you back in time for a moment Sure Let's just get into the time machine for second let's go back to may 20th 2013

1:42:20 Episode 512. So this is quite a while ago of the No Agenda show, This Is What Happened. That's not gonna happen? Yeah that is the dream yeah I think it's called a hallucination. I had a real dream last night and then woke up from this put this in The Red Book just for yucks Alright, I and it was vivid. Okay? It was vivid because we've played a couple of clips of him recently have been watching video of him Are you ready for this Joe Biden was president? I Am from the future ladies and gentlemen, I am from the future It's in the Red Book. I think you should be able to find that I'll be a disaster

1:43:10 All right, so we have Biden giving his little event. I got some miscellaneous clips and then some research on him. Let's go with the Biden event clips. I know I've got three of them... I can play the short little one which is similar to the pandemic with this Biden event with the gov's blather. It exists because in a few nations, every major crisis we have faced in our history has been in a situation where we have come out stronger and what

1:43:50 I'm finding that, you know this whole crisis sort of taken the blinders off most people. You know the people who weren't... Are there geese in the background? Yes! necessarily prejudice but just didn't focus That's the geese you hear in the background. Those Canadian geese are trying to get away from the virus, anyway all kidding aside what happens is that I'm finding people who are constantly calling me and i know we're all in place but we have on the phone probably six hours a day where people are talking about how they didn't realize that it was somebody making seven bucks an hour had their back

1:44:35 You know, by the time he got to the end I had no idea what he was talking about. Exactly! Exactly that was the point of that clip. Yeah well it worked and there's a little subclip here this is Biden event with the Gubbs Blather 1 W-A-H-O or H-A-O. And i know you all stand for that we got a lot of ground to cover so let's start with this. We know that virus can hit anyone anywhere But it doesn't affect every community the same. Oh shoot! I disconnected my head, you know? I got a real problem with these headphones and i'm not going to hear you for at least seven seconds so you can fill up the void while i'm waiting for them to come back. That was a classic example of both how stupid this event was as Biden and three governors but the lousy connection none of them could... None of them in fact all three plus Biden couldn't talk at all they were all

1:45:33 I like you said Iris. Now, I got one clip of Joe with the number mix up do you have that one? No but i have this last one from this series okay and this is says Biden event with Gov's blather and it has no other moniker on there Okay exists because now a few nations that ever know wait that's the one we played We played first. The one you played first should've been Uh, Govs Blathers Zero? Z-W-E-O. No we... You didn't play the one that says zero? Oh okay uh yes I have it here we go. Desperately need your... This is.. We did not play zero! We played this one. Oh then play zero, play zero. Yeah. Desperately need your commies going and this is not... It would help if it didn't say zwiyo. Yeah you can... I might've been correct there. Like this...I thought it might have been like a... You don't have to humiliate me in public. I know how to spell. I'm not humiliating you. I'm telling you that

1:46:33 If I want to humiliate you, that's easy. I was saying... Whoa! ...I thought it might be a CEO clip or something. It's fine. Believe me, you take these Joe Biden clips out of order, it doesn't matter. It does not matter. You desperately need your commies going and this is not a moment for excuses or deflections or blame game. We're in the middle of a pandemic that had cost us more than 85,000 jobs as of today. Lives of millions of people. That's the ones of people. Millions of jobs.

1:47:15 Everybody shakes their head and says Joe's gonna win the race. You know, we're in a position where you know we just got new unemployment insurance this morning numbers thirty six five million claims since this crisis began and almost three million new claims in the last week The unemployment rate is nearing 15 percent, the highest it's been since the Great Depression. But I need not tell you all that of course it's a least well law for being hit the hardest 40% of households making $40,000 or less experience job loss just in March

1:47:55 and we're going to have to work harder and smarter than ever before, to pull ourselves out of this economic tailspin. And this is the problem with Joe is that when he gets a sentence out it's really nothing there's just nothing in it. We're gonna have to work hard pull together... He doesn't really have any I've not I think I've not heard one single policy-oriented solution even for African-Americans. He came out with the big Joe Biden's black agenda, which was... I think it's called lift all voices, we will lift all voices! Which is not pandering at all to the religious Black Americans and what he says in there oh we're gonna do a study! We'll do a study to see if we should do some reparations and this is the kind of crap that is not going to fly but I know

1:48:47 Is this Mike's is that still the clip? Oh, yeah. It is another 40 seconds and seven seconds to go I'm sorry You it seems like a seems like weeks All of you know My second anniversary has already taken place This clip is so long only way out of this is by following the science Listening to the experts talking and taking responsible precautions That they're gonna help us reopen the economy as say as quickly as possible. And, uh, a-a-as we do there's gotta be federal support to state and local levels of our government in my view so that we'd be able to come out of this crisis stronger and more united

1:49:27 We have an opportunity in my view to transform the economy as we come out, to build a more inclusive and more resilient middle class. And I think that can withstand the next public crisis whatever it is however it comes about not just reward the people who are well off or well connected It's time for us to ensure everyone gets a fair shot success in this country. That's science! I don't believe in science One last clip I want to get to get this series completely out of the way. They talked about this on PBS A little bit. And Judy, this is a Judy smear. This is a smear that she slipped into this little announcement discussing the Biden event. In the day's other news former Vice President Joe Biden says that if elected president he would not pardon Donald Trump or his associates of any crimes instead He says He would let any investigations play out

CHAPTER 26 / 38 Discussion

Biden on Pardoning Trump, Stacey Abrams VP Speculation

Joe Biden states in an MSNBC town hall that he would not pardon Donald Trump if elected, insisting that investigations must play out. The segment also analyzes a joint appearance by Biden and Stacey Abrams, where Abrams appeared to be sidelined despite the hype surrounding her as a potential VP pick. The hosts speculate that the Democratic Party establishment is unlikely to select a Black woman for the role.

joe biden· donald trump· stacey abrams· lawrence o'donnell· michael flynn· vice president

1:50:22 The presumptive Democratic nominee spoke in a virtual town hall on MSNBC last night, and he accused Mr. Trump of abusing his power. We never saw anything like the prostitution of that office like we see it today. It is not something the president is entitled to do, to direct either a prosecution and or decide to drop a case. That is not the president's role responsibility, and it's a dereliction of his duty What is he talking about? Flynn, is that what he's saying? Yeah I think it's about Flynn. Well I have the clip where he... I think he's in up to his eyeballs on this Flynn thing and by the way this was a smear when Judy says that he's not going to pardon Trump The way it was presented as though Trump had created an actual crime Well let's go to the town hall

1:51:18 And let's see how this came about. Judy did not play the source material because it was a request from an audience member, here it is... Would you be willing to commit to not pulling a President forward and giving Donald Trump a pardon under the pretense of healing the nation? In other words are you willing to commit to the American ideal that no one is above the law Absolutely yes I commit. I don't know if it was a spiked call or whatever, but I commit these commitments please like... But this town hall was very interesting for another reason all of us and this was the Joe Biden special event MSNBC think it was Lawrence what's his name? No

1:52:12 Lawrence O'Donnell. So he's hosting it and all of a sudden we've got Lawrence in the middle, Joe on the right and Stacey Abram pops up on the left-hand box! And hilarity ensued as we watch Stacey Abram slowly lose her soul on live TV... I want to begin this with a question for Joe Biden because uh... this is here because you're buying invited stacy abrams to be here uh... and so uh... was vice president do have an announcement to make a is this in addition it is there are what is the reason that they had decided it's time for me to get would you say stop hammering yes yes and on tv with stacy abrams well because stacy abrams has done more to deal with

1:53:03 of the fair vote and making sure there is a fair vote in anybody. And she has great, great capacity to explain things. Mind you she's sitting here right now saying nothing looking in the camera in her own box on the left The smile started to slowly fade. ...and lay out exactly why it's going to be so critically important this election This president already said when they put in with stimulus package that Congress first passed money to provide for mail-in ballots. He already said, I'm not for that if we do that will no Republican ever win or something to that effect he's made it clear this is the guy who said he wants to defund the post office from being able to deliver ballots. So Stacey knows what she's doing and and she's a incredibly capable person

1:53:54 And so since then that's said nothing. He set her up, did you want to make an announcement? Of course everyone is thinking oh my goodness this is going to be the VP announcement! Nothing! No... That's embarrassing. Do ya think?! By the way when did Trump say he wanted to defund the post office because they wouldn't deliver a Pepsi to Dallas? I love that too I thought it was nice touch When did he say that? I don't think he ever said that. That was joke someone told Jay just make make it up So I did see part of this. I didn't take any clips from it, but it's pathetic. Stacey Abrams is really a dud. I just don't understand why everyone was so jacked up about it and I will say it again. I'm going to remind everybody my thinking on this having been a Democrat there's not a woman in the Democrat party that will have Stacey Abrams as president until a white woman is president first

1:54:56 If I may, this was a big topic on MoFax and we discussed the VP slot specifically from an ADOS perspective. And Stacey Abrams is not wanted, is not going to be it, is being shunned... ...and the reason why which I thought was-I hadn't really considered she is the Oprah candidate And when she ran for governor of Georgia, Oprah went down. Jay-Z, Beyonce everybody was there and she couldn't win and I think that... Remember Oprah of course feels that she made Barack Obama and she had a big hand in it for sure and this is her candidate just think Oprah can't run herself

1:55:47 But this would be kind of like an Oprah, like an Oprah Ugly. And the Democrat Party wants nothing to do with her and I think wants nothing to do with Oprah certainly after seeing the combo Oprah and Stacey Abrams in Georgia failed! They're probably questioning all kinds of celebrity endorsements if they really are worth it anymore. So no, according to Moe when he laid out I think he laid out the case for that, is not going to be the vice president. There's no doubt about that Not going to be the vice presidential nominee But she'll do anything! She'll even show up and and be publicly embarrassed Well i'll just add to my thinking on this Is that no black woman will be the vice presidential candidate under Biden

1:56:39 which takes a little further than just targeting Stacey. Because again, white women that are Democrats are more racist than the Republicans by a lot Having been in both parties, and they will not put especially when Hillary was snubbed. They will not allow a black Woman of any sort Stacey Abrams or otherwise that's where you'd camel and the rest of them are all out too for other reasons I'm sure you can target them but because they want a white woman as the first female president period And you think there that racist the Democrat Party? Yeah

CHAPTER 27 / 38 Discussion

Amy Klobuchar and Michelle Lujan Grisham VP Odds

The hosts discuss potential Vice Presidential candidates, including New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham and Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar. They suggest that Biden's accidental reference to the "Lujan virus" may have been a Freudian slip revealing his pick. However, they also note that Klobuchar's past controversies are being "sanitized" by the media to prepare her for the ticket.

amy klobuchar· michelle lujan grisham· vice president· democratic party· new mexico

1:57:17 I do. They're already misogynist or not, sorry, misanthropists by saying it can only be a woman and can't be a man because we don't qualify We're no good. We're stupid just look at Joe It's gonna be a white, if it's not a white woman Amy Klobuchar would be at the top of the list. I would say that he wants to go for some other ethnic possibilities again i'll bring in Lou Han Grisham out of New Mexico and somebody sent us a note going on and on about how... That was good! Me in particular since I've been from Langer you saw that note? Yeah I did actually I'm gonna grab the clip for you here's the clip that brought this comment on hold on a second

1:57:58 Our Secretary of State insisted, and this broke the meeting up basically in terms of our influence that this be called the Lujan virus. Which was...our producer said well he just gave away who it's gonna be! He gave away the vice presidential picket. Lujan was in the back of his head and couldn't not say it. It's a logical thing. Very logical. This is no agenda style thinking I agree But I could you know, I'm still I'm hedging my Lujan bet. I'm putting her in the second spot under Amy Oh, oh, I'm sorry Amy Klobuchar. My a Clover charge now top spot She would be kick-ass as vice president, I'm sure she would well she's the Except for the fact that she throws staplers and yells at her staff and she's mean

1:58:51 Which they've suppressed to such an extreme that we have heard none of these stories. They were only apparent at the beginning of the campaigning, which makes me think that she may be a possibility for the VP slot. It's just they're sanitizing her as we speak. So let's just to be clear Amy Klobuchar is my Amy and you have Amy from PBS? No, fair deal. You're in democracy now. Yeah from democracy that's your Amy and Amy Klobuchar is mine Thank you very much yeah I get my Amy you get your Amy hey I have sports news are you ready for some sports news coming from me

CHAPTER 28 / 38 Discussion

Fox Sports Virtual Fans, Crowd Noise Simulation

Fox Sports is reportedly planning to use virtual fans and pre-recorded crowd noise for upcoming broadcasts of games played in empty stadiums. The hosts argue that this confirms their theory that professional sports are "rigged" and highly manufactured. They mock the idea of "canned laughter" for sports and the replaceability of live audiences.

fox sports· bundesliga· virtual fans· crowd noise· sports rigging

1:59:35 This should be rich going into this season coming up. This is from Fox Sports Fox Sports Fox FS1 Fox Sports and that comes with a huge asterisk and hopefully there is a season I There's probably gonna be a season in doing games with no fans Which will be difficult. I think Fox and these networks have to put crowd noise under us To make it a learning experience at home you think they'll do that Do yeah, I really what I know in fact. I know they'll do it and Let him finish let him finish yelling through my sports clip It's not that often that I bring one in fact. I know they'll do it and they are to that's the conversation right now you

2:00:25 It's pretty much a done deal. I think whoever is going to be at that control is going have to really good at their job and be realistic with how the crowd would react depending on what just happened on the field so it's really important, and then on top of that they're looking for ways to put virtual fans in the stands so when you see a wide shot it looks like the stadium jam-packed. Hey sports fans! You're not needed You're completely replaceable. In fact, they should just play the games in a big blue screen green screen auditorium and do all kinds of cool stuff. This is telling you know what this tells this confirms

2:01:01 The basic no agenda thesis is that all sports are rigged. No kidding? This has taken the rigging to a maximum, have fake audience, fake noise, fake applause...the whole thing you know it's the canned laughter again and once put can laughter to get a canned laughter guy in there and have him just yuck it up uh it's unbelievable oh my god I can't believe it's an interception! Oh no he drops he fumbles It's the best we can do. That's about all I got! Oh my god, there is a cruise missile going over the stadium what can we do about it? The cruise missile... I have nothing else. Well that would be very sad but it'll fit with the fake outcome of these games so that's good oh yes they do have one more Biden related clip short one

CHAPTER 29 / 38 Discussion

DNC Convention Uncertainty, "Taking" Donald Trump

The DNC communications director expresses uncertainty about whether the Milwaukee convention will be held in person or virtually. A slip of the tongue in her statement—suggesting the convention's purpose is "to take Donald Trump" rather than just nominate Biden—is highlighted as evidence of the party's singular focus on removing the President.

dnc· milwaukee· joe biden· donald trump· virtual convention

2:01:56 the convention which is coming up in... when is there? Is the Democrat...? It was supposed to be in August. Have they moved it, is that...? No maybe it was July and they moved it to August I don't know August is the last I heard Here's the communications director of the DNC regarding the convention and uh I think this maybe I'm reading too much into it but it felt a little bit like Not everyone in the party is on board with Joe. Have a listen I mean there's a real possibility of the convention does not happen or it happens in any virtual sense Is that correct? Because we are not officially nominating Joe Biden in order to take Donald Trump So our convention is happening There is business that has to happen now when it comes to um

2:02:42 what our convention is going to look like, I can guarantee you that our convention will ensure that the safe- safety first. Whether it is our delegates, the people of Milwaukee or all of those involved in a convention we will make sure they are safe whatever that looks like and they vote for our nominee." Now did you catch the beginning of how she phrased that? I'll play it again. I mean there's a real possibility that the convention does not happen or it happens in any virtual sense is that correct? Well first of all our convention has to happen because we are not officially nominating Joe Biden In order to take Donald Trump. I like how you did notice that. To take Donald Trump, I thought that was an interesting use of words Is that how they see it to take Donald Trump

2:03:31 Well, that's their only goal. But did you listen to it carefully? convention is not to nominate Joe Biden. Is that correct? Well, first of all our convention has to happen because we are not officially nominating Joe Biden in order to take Donald Trump so our convention is happening there is business... We're not nominating Joe Biden! I told you there's something weird in that clip and she seems like she's not... I don't know for a comms director I think she let out a little bit too much there my personal opinion Oh yeah, they don't care about anything but Donald Trump. You can't win elections that way! All right I am very excited to have a second half of show coming up for you which is a send-in from one of our producers but first i think we should thank some more people who are on the spreadsheet for today! I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda imagine all the people who could do that oh yeah that'd be fab

CHAPTER 30 / 38 Discussion

Producer Credits, The Number 33, and Meetup Reports

The hosts read letters from new producers who joined the "tribe" after hearing Adam Curry on the Joe Rogan Experience. They explain the significance of the number "33" as a code for suspicious news reporting. A "one-person meetup" report from Marcellus, New York, is shared, involving a white cockapoo in red boots.

Tom Hanks Commencement Speech Critique

Actor Tom Hanks is criticized for a "discombobulated" and poorly produced virtual commencement speech for Wright State University. The hosts mock the low audio quality and the "phoned-in" nature of the address, noting that a professional producer of his stature should have utilized better technology and production values.

tom hanks· wright state· commencement speech· production values· chosen ones

2:16:32 Darn, sorry Vernon better luck next time when the Rona is over Like a party so are you ready for um I want to take, before you go into it. No before you do that i got a little entremont okay uh and curiously this is 43 seconds and look like the joe biden stuff which was really less than two minutes but went on forever for some unknown reason there's gonna be another one this is apparently all the virtue signaling celebrities mostly yeah are out there showing doing commencement speeches yes yes including the president right

2:17:35 They're all doing, I didn't know that he was doing one but he'd go and do it. Oh yeah! And I'm sorry President Obama, not our president, President Obama has been doing commencement speeches. Yes that would be true but they're all doing them virtually and they're in a bucket they usually in a bucket or if you find a good place to put the mic its little bucket on the side and they are all in a bucket and there are giving these commencement speeches that are lame and their terrible but I decided I am going look for the worst oh yay So this is a short snippet from Tom Hanks giving a commencement speech to some small Western case or someone. I get the name of the school here somewhere, it's Wright State. He went to Wright...I never heard of him. Wright State. Sorry anybody for Wright State alums

2:18:22 So he's giving this speech. He's reading it, kind of but he kinda lost track and I think he started off with saying the wrong thing and tried to make up for it... And never really caught up so the speech became this discombobulated piece a crap! Here is it! Congratulations to you chosen ones Wow stop right there! I don't understand how they allow this to happen. This sound is just beyond me, BEYOND ME! Congratulations to you chosen ones and i am calling you the chosen ones because you have been chosen in many ways You have not returned to the starting line like all of us generations before you're just approaching it now for the first time you've just arrived. You are chosen in that way

2:19:16 to enter into the competition of life just when so many have had to recover and refresh and restart, and reawaken. And to retake up the hard work and the unshirkable responsibilities of making the world not only our own but your own." Wow! Talk about- Now he starts... Here's what happened He says congrats I think you kind of ad libbed a beginning thing that is going to be cool Mmhmm Congratulations to the chosen ones and then he thought to himself right on the spot, wait a minute.

2:19:53 I'm the chosen one. This is offensive what i'm saying here and so he then goes and tries to make up for it, and says by what about him? What do you mean by chosen ones? And then he ad-libs The whole thing falls apart and its just an embarrassment and hes in his home with a brick wall behind him and hes trying to read off of notes this should not be people should not be doing this That was pretty much the definition of phoning it in It was really bad. From the sound, to the copy, to everything and even the intent! Even the intent... Why is he- why are they doing that? Very odd And if you're gonna do it make it memorable not like oh I'm Tom Hanks in a bucket

2:20:38 Yeah, the other thing is these guys are all no production values and people like Tom Hanks is a good example He's not like he's a producer. Yes. He's a producer. He could produce a video And he could put the good sound with it. He's got nothing else to do his he's holed up in his mansion He could put us he can put a track behind himself. You could have a green screen. He could be in Paris I mean there's a million things you could do to make it lively But know he started just bought what walks through a bucket presentation. It's embarrassing these guys are just showing that they really, are they really producers or they're just frontmen with no talent? What was the school he was doing this for as it's billed by the way on news sites as Tom Hanks inspiring 2020 commencement address. Inspiring! Who is it for though? Wright State Is that his alma mater

Nevada Earthquakes, Blue Lights, and Fracking

A truck driver provides a first-hand account of a 6.5 magnitude earthquake in Nevada on May 15th. He reports seeing mysterious bright blue lights behind the mountains during the tremors. While some attribute the quakes to fracking, the proximity to federal land and military depots leads to speculation about more unusual causes.

nevada· earthquake· tonopah· area 51· fracking· blue light

2:21:38 I don't know. I didn't go that deep into it. No, they quoted no one will be more fresh to the task of restarting our measure of normalcy than you You chosen ones Oh brother. All right fine all right Tom Hanks So that is the worst commencement speech i could find It's been a while second half of show! I received multiple emails This over the past few days about the earthquakes in Nevada Exactly. I didn't know either unlike there's earthquakes in Nevada what's going on? It was I saw a couple of headlines about earthquakes in, Nevada So we had Dame Angela who said it but like 30 or 40 of them it was all day long Yeah, and people were a little concerned

2:22:38 But now... There's some fracking going on somewhere. Well, that's what you think but we have a boots-on the ground report from Sir Joel so he's royalty you know he's legit Sir Joel the skinny trucker battle born black baron of the northern Nevada certainly you've heard of him here is with his earthquake report Hey Adam and John, this is Joel the Skinny Trucker also known as Sir Joel the Battle Born Black Baron of Northern Nevada. Just wanted to give you my update on the Nevada earthquake that we had early this morning on Friday May 15th I was driving through pretty much the epicenter exactly when it happened felt the truck shake a bit and i was wondering what's going on? It's pretty windy but

2:23:28 I was going up the road highway 95 there was one crack and like oh that's strange That wasn't here when I drove down to Tonopah from Reno And then there it was another crack, and then a third crack, and I'm like Oh There must have been an earthquake and lo and behold there was but interesting thing that I noticed as this was happening is I was looking up on the ridgeline of the mountains to the west and saw this bright blue light behind the mountains. And I'm like, oh wonder what that is? Because it didn't look like an airplane or any kind of truck light. It looked like something else so...

2:24:04 If you guys know the area, middle Nevada, western Nevada is a lot of federal land. There's a huge Army Depot just north in Hawthorne and Area 51 is not too far away so who knows maybe get the theremin out some tinfoil hatage and hopefully some other producers have Some information that maybe can shed some light on the subject but that's my take from Northern Nevada it's the Battle Born Black Baron Joel In the morning. Thank you, thank you for your courage. Well Northern Nevada and Area 51 they're not even close No but I don't think he was insinuating it was aliens...I've been paying attention to this weird weather we have had torrential downpour literally just Texas has been very interesting to see the weather patterns

2:24:56 And maybe there's some harp fireage going on. Who knows? I don't know what's happening, but the blue light out there that's odd and these earthquakes has that happened before like 30 40 earthquakes on a day in Nevada Maybe it has I don't know just an area in Nevada where they have a lot of quakes It was uh, but that was due to fracking right well We'll keep an eye on it sure that we'll find out nothing Oh, you're so positive. We'll keep looking we'll look and look at what can we get? You know I'm gonna get anywhere with this all right anymore screwball reports No, I don't have that but I do have an update on thousands of sealed indictments yes Yes, yes, I'm telling you everyone's out on the woodworks. We've got everyone talking clappers on TV Brennan's on TV Everyone's getting their points in and I think a good backgrounder is to go to the man who is

CHAPTER 33 / 38 Discussion

General Flynn Case, James Clapper Zoom Glitch

Journalist John Solomon discusses the inevitable dismissal of charges against General Michael Flynn and upcoming revelations from Senator Lindsey Graham's investigation into bureaucratic corruption. Meanwhile, former DNI James Clapper experienced a convenient technical glitch on CNN when asked about leaking classified information. Clapper later stated he would only testify remotely due to COVID-19 concerns.

michael flynn· john solomon· lindsey graham· james clapper· cnn· unmasking

2:25:53 the mainstream gateway for thousands of sealed indictments. Lou Dobbs on Fox Business News and here is, who I think is a good journalist John Solomon to bring us the lowdown Yeah everyone I've talked to today has been exasperated by the judge's conduct but at the end of the day it's a lot of show for an inevitable conclusion At the end of the day, these charges are going to be dismissed against General Flynn because the law requires it. When both parties go in as they do in this case and when there is a preponderance of evidence as there is in this case of wrongdoing, the courts have consistently allowed a vacation or vacating of conviction like this

2:26:35 It's just going to extend the drama a little longer, but it's going inevitably end up whether it is at the Supreme Court or the Appellate Court or the District Court. The charges are going to be dismissed finally and I do say finally. Lindsey Graham has scheduled a hearing to dig into these very serious issues. I know his investigative staff very well, they're very competent they've been working very hard behind the scenes they're going to have some big revelations that are not yet public that will move this narrative along and show just how far reaching corruption inside the bureaucracy was as for the issue of President Obama you know there's gonna come a moment after that first evidence is laid out in these hearings where people are gonna obviously say

2:27:16 hey, this started at the top with President Obama. And then I think Lindsey Graham will have to face the music of his own evidence and decide what he's going to do." When that moment may come when all the evidence is out there it'll be an even more poignant question for the chairman why aren't you talking to President Obama? Let's see what the evidence comes out but keep in mind over the last few months there has been a lot of information taken from the National Archives from the Obama administration. They lay out a very powerful case, we're going to begin to see that evidence over the next three or four weeks and all I can say from what I know from my reporting is buckle your seatbelt. Boo! Buckle your seatbelt! Well first of all i'm not buckling my seat belts for starters uh-huh yeah no kidding because nothing's coming up any of this

2:28:07 Well, I'm not so sure. I think that something's going to happen we you know this Flynn stuff and the unmasking and FISA court abuses...I think something will come of that but well let me finish it's easy to say I have I have some some I've received a saber yeah I have some receipts have some backup There's a lot of running around, people coming out who haven't spoken for a long time and I think they're all jockeying and positioning. Clapper seems to be the top guy Now this was CNN People called this differently than it was The way it was posted is oh look he asked him a tough question And then the connection breaks But actually you can hear

2:28:56 Truly an audio glitch it froze right after the first question, so he didn't you probably even hear the second one But that doesn't mean that he wasn't removed from this Zoom call So we could not answer here's Clapper former director of national intelligence And a liar a liar to Congress but unindicted okay? So asking for names Nothing wrong with that unmasked in and of itself nothing wrong with that leaking classified information and by definition these phone calls were classified. That's a problem, correct? Absolutely it is. If anyone... You hear the little brr that's when he cut out but we'll do the question anyway Did leak the contents of these conversations with or without the name that would be a problem yes We've lost this shot I wonder if we can at least get him on the phone to finish this let's try to get director Clapper back

2:29:50 All right, we're gonna work on getting that shot. Yeah so of course they did get him back later this question didn't come up but was he willing to testify? Can you come in and testify? Given my age demographic I'd be happy to come after i've been vaccinated for COVID-19 Would you testify remotely? I could do it remotely as the case with the policy hearing or respond to questions or that sort of thing, but I don't particularly want to put my life for that on my wife in life and jeopardy for In person testimony. Yeah So basically not intending to testify to anything at all because Corona kovat The other guy out and about was former CIA director John Brennan

CHAPTER 34 / 38 Discussion

John Brennan on Trump, "Obamable" Abuse of Authority

Former CIA Director John Brennan criticizes President Trump for "exploiting and manipulating" the intelligence community. In a notable slip of the tongue, Brennan uses the word "obamable" instead of "abominable" when describing the current administration's alleged abuse of authority. The hosts interpret his defense of FBI Director Chris Wray as a sign that Wray may be the next official to be removed.

john brennan· richard grinnell· william barr· chris wray· nixon· obamable

2:30:44 And do you know yet if his clearance has been removed? I've got no information one way or the other. We just don't know. Not confirmed. I'd like to remind you John Brennan's stance on the law and when you are guilty, or when you should be sentenced or charged... It's very short he is very clear People are innocent until alleged to be involved in some type of criminal activity So this would be guilty John Brennan, who was alleged to have some part in criminal activity. And this is a longer clip but I think it's extra good because you can hear well we'll discuss it Chris Hayes and John Brennan There does seem to be a bit of a shift in the last several months with William Barr

2:31:30 at the Department of Justice, with Richard Grinnell at DNI such that the actual machinery and tools of government are being kind of applied along the lines of the rhetoric of a president. How do you see things right now? Well Chris that's exactly why I think the recent developments are so worrisome because Mr Trump has removed individuals from the head of the intelligence community as well as from the FBI and justice And he is trying to put people in who are going to do his bidding So we saw recently with the acting director of national intelligence, Richard Grinnell a handpicked individual who I think has demonstrated his loyalty to Mr. Trump over the years releasing declassifying the names of individuals who had unmasked some names in intelligence reports and

2:32:15 With the implication that that was wrongdoing. It wasn't carrying out our responsibilities correctly But then when I look at the Attorney General Mr.. Barr now so of course there's no diving into the fact that it was 39 people who were Witnessed to or who had requested and received unmasking, but I guess that's just a job carrying out our responsibilities incorrectly, but then when I look at the attorney general mr. Barr And how he has repeatedly demonstrated that his interest is being the president's lawyer, as opposed to being the people's lawyer. You need to get the updated memo Brennan! That's a pretty old hat you're repeating there... I am very worried that the instruments of governance, the instruments of intelligence and law enforcement and justice

2:33:05 are now being exploited and manipulated in Mr. Trump's hands, and I think that is something that should worry all Americans It is one thing to have policy differences and we can have arguments in public about that but if he is going to try to bring charges against individuals trumped up charges because of his political interests He's going to have individuals who are going to help make that happen. That is something that I saw overseas in my career, my national security career and I never thought I would see that happening here in the United States. Clearly, back in the last century in the 1970s we had incidents where President Nixon tried to use the FBI and CIA and others for political purposes. And we had quite an uproar at that time when President Nixon was forced out of office. Sad to say that it sounds like we are now back in the same type of environment

2:34:00 Where an individual in the White House is now using those organizations And using people and senior positions intelligence law enforcement for his own purposes But you say Ben yourself make your cop door to health that is the best example of projection I've heard from him and says just like Richard Nixon clearly This president was using the intelligence apparatus to get at his enemies. It's exactly what happened, allegedly with the whole Obama administration if that isn't a clear case. You know and now they're rewriting the history of Nixon is also somewhat annoying. Yeah sketchy Let's just get Nixon out of the picture these guys Oh this guy is the worst I think there's a fall guy though The CIA should be embarrassed that he was ever part of their operation

2:34:53 Yeah, there's one little quick thing a little quick bite I got here which may be the fall guy because someone's gotta go. I'm just hoping that individuals like Chris Wray who is a remarkable public servant will continue to stay strong in the face of this type of abominable abuse of authority So Chris Rea is on the block. He said Obamable? Let's listen, did he say Obamable? Wow! I'm just hoping that individuals like Chris Rea who is a remarkable public servant will continue to stay strong in the face of this type of abominable abuse of authority Oh man...Obamable That's great word

2:35:43 ObamaBull. But I think Christopher Wray is on the block! I think that may have been what you just heard there, that clip? I think put him on the block Well then... That would have been part of the point. Obamabull dot com registered done. I don't know why but i need it And it's available, right? Obamable.com That's right everybody I do a podcast you can find that at obamable.com yay and i think that uh some other stuff hmm well i got a few things yeah and we have our round the around the world the road around the world yeah you want to hear a few of those run around the world

New Jersey Beach Reopening, Tony Vaz

The mayor of Seaside Heights, New Jersey, Tony Vaz, announces the phased reopening of local beaches. The hosts note that Vaz's voice sounds remarkably like actor Joe Pesci. The segment highlights the strict rules against sunbathing and swimming that remain in place even as the boardwalks reopen.

new jersey· seaside heights· tony vaz· joe pesci· social distancing

2:36:34 Well, let's start with the funniest one and I also have a sub clip for it. This is COVID New Jersey. Ah! Always a good time With summer right around the corner New Jersey announced this week that beaches would be open by Memorial Day weekend with some restrictions The openings are weeks behind other coastal states like Georgia and Florida But as one of the state's hardest hit by the Covid-19 pandemic local officials say they are proceeding cautiously At exactly 10 a.m yesterday, barriers that had been blocking the boardwalk and beach in Seaside Heights New Jersey were pushed aside an announcement made it official These beaches are now officially open. Once again, these beaches are now officially open... It's a sign that things are returning to normal in this quintessential Jersey Shore town sort-of We're looking to see how we deal with the social distance and that's going to be our test today Tony Vaz is the mayor of Seaside Heights After nearly two months being closed because of COVID-19 visitors can now walk and ride bikes on the boardwalk provided they heed the rule of six feet between groups of people

2:37:37 On the beach, there's no swimming or sunbathing but the public can walk fish and even surf. Mayor Vaas says it's just the first phase of Seaside Heights is reopening I'm optimistic that this is a good first step obviously I would love to see everything open I would love to see us swimming and so forth but we have to recognize that we have to take this in steps Seaside Heights is one of more than three dozen communities along the Jersey Shore grappling with how best to reopen. In neighboring seaside park, beaches are already open to sunbathers provided beachgoers keep their distance. You know coming... I was more interested in this Tony Vaz guy he sounds identical to Joe Pesci

2:38:23 Yeah, it does a little bit. A little bit? I actually have a clip from further on in that presentation and this is the 16 seconds of him talking... This guy has a voiceover gig anytime he wants one then but by the way He's wearing a mask so he's kind of muffled But this is Tony Vaz talking a little bit more If we just obeyed the rules You know you're gonna stop at a stoplight We gotta whack em! That's a rule. So you know if it's social distancing now? Social distancing, if you know what's another mandate follow it. I'm not an optimist It has to get better. I don't have the magical number when but it will get better. Yes nailed it!

CHAPTER 36 / 38 Discussion

Global COVID-19 Updates, Greece Heatwave, Brazil Resignation

A global tour of pandemic news covers the dismantling of the Germany-Switzerland border fence and the reopening of Greek beaches during a heatwave. In Brazil, the Health Minister resigned after clashing with President Bolsonaro over the use of chloroquine. Additionally, the first coronavirus case was confirmed in a Rohingya refugee camp in Bangladesh.

greece· germany· brazil· jair bolsonaro· chloroquine· bangladesh· rohingya

2:39:07 We should find him and ask him to do some stuff for us. I was thinking about it, but then again i'm thinking i'm gonna get a call back saying you think i'm funny? You know... I can get a visit! That's very good, I like that but sad man what does New Jersey become? I lived there for 12 years. Jersey is sad, sad, sad no not twelve nine years Just saying. Back to the rundown, that was Jersey let's go to the COVID-EU update with an emphasis on Greece. A border fence between Germany and Switzerland was dismantled last night it's part of an agreement by those countries as well as Austria to begin opening borders again German Prime Minister Angela Merkel said earlier this week that she would like all emergency border controls in Europe's 26 nation Schengen zone removed by June 15th

2:40:01 Also in Germany, the country's premier soccer league Bundesliga resumed play today without fans. It is the world's first major soccer league to start up following a two-month pause due to the coronavirus pandemic Did they have fake audiences? I have not heard...I'd have to check that out So far no In Greece more than 500 public beaches reopened today as the country experienced its first heat wave of the year, beachgoers were required to keep their distance as officials stipulated how many people could be on the beach and exactly how far apart umbrellas needed to be. Yes! The beaches are back open! Woohoo! Yeah! Reopening beaches is the first major easing of Greece's coronavirus lockdown To date it has had just a fraction of the cases in many neighboring countries including Turkey Starting tomorrow Greeks will be allowed to attend church and tourism officials hope to welcome back foreigners in July

2:40:55 No. Wow! So they got nothing going on, it's underreported nobody wants to talk about grease why they have less cases maybe there is something they're taking they may be taking a prophylactic like hydroxychloroquine is the possibility. Nah can't be could never that doesn't work this shit doesn't work you need remdesivir that's the one that keeps your alive somewhat longer I don't know You need the approved one COVID Brazil PBS. Brazil, we are really doing a runaround! Brazil's health minister resigned last night after just one month on the job The shakeup comes as the number of coronavirus infections in Brazil continues to rise Nelson Taisha did not provide a reason for his resignation but it came just a day after Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro pressured him to accept the use of chloroquine to treat Covid-19 patients

2:41:42 The drug, which is used to treat malaria has been praised as a therapeutic for the new disease by Bolsonaro and President Trump though it lacks scientific support. Bullshit! The result has become an epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak, setting daily records for infections each of the last three days. On Friday, the health ministry confirmed more than 15,000 new infections despite relatively low rates of testing. If I may compliment you it takes a real professional to hold on to a surprise edit clip until the very end of the show. I commend you sir that was well done very good I got you off guard. Yes, you did! Not out of it China You made me feel good Overseas in China officials said they marked one full month with no new COVID deaths But vulnerable populations like here in Bangladesh are bracing for a blow In this crowded camp home to 1 million Rohingya Muslims the first coronavirus case was confirmed just today Huh

2:42:43 There you have it. Yeah, well I thought our boots on the ground from Wuhan was better Well anything is better at least we got people on the ground in Wuhan Well is that the same guy rose to note initially when this whole thing broke open? Yes yes yes yes That's the guy yeah We good we have some of the best let me just check and make sure I didn't miss any of these We've got the nursing home, the Wuhan. I want to thank Dr Disorder for sending us our no agenda mask not the ones we ordered but there was a cancellation so he sent it The Keeper wants the 1984 mask which is coming i hope she wants to proudly wear that which is a good one um i think yeah

CHAPTER 37 / 38 Discussion

PBS Investigation into Tara Reade Allegations

PBS NewsHour reporters Dan Bush and Lisa Desjardins conducted an extensive investigation into Tara Reade's sexual assault allegations against Joe Biden, interviewing 74 former staffers. The report highlights that while many staffers recalled Biden's habit of physical contact (hugging and shoulder squeezing), none corroborated Reade's specific claims of assault. The investigation also questioned the logistics of the alleged incident occurring in a busy Senate corridor.

tara reade· joe biden· pbs· lisa desjardins· sexual assault· senate· staffers

2:43:30 These would all be good. I do, i can play a little more over the Biden. I could play the Shields and Brooks on the PBH Research Network. Oh God let's get out of here on something happy! That's happy okay What is it? This sucks. Two depresses from the same side of the political agenda standing in their homes, one of them worried sick and the other too old to care Let's listen to Shields & Brooks And it reveals that Joe Biden is a very transparent person The culture they describe is certainly the culture I knew when covering Senator Biden and the person I know him to be, and it raises more skepticism about the claims. In addition there's a Politico report looking into some of Tara Reade's past allegations in other cases or other parts of her life

2:44:18 And I think the bottom line is, if you were a person who was saying should this issue be a problem for me in voting for Joe Biden? I think the arrow has moved into less of a problem. We don't know that it didn't happen. We can't know that. But certainly the degree of skepticism has to be a little higher because of this report. JUDY WOODRUFF and Mark, I mean, you're somebody who's covered this city for a long time. You have walked the halls of these Senate office buildings. What do you come away with here? Well, I come away first of all with great admiration for both Lisa and Dan. I mean 74 people on the record is remarkable that meant a couple hundred calls they had to make to get that

2:45:02 Okay, now what I wanted to play played that clip because it was gonna play a series of clips where they PBS I'll be playing maybe played next Thursday. They took their two Lisa Desjardins some other guy and they went in the investigators Lisa's not again They spent a fortune investigating the Tara Reid story by talking to old staffers and they talked, they tried to contact 200 people and they contacted 75 or got 75 on the record. And Shields is impressed that they got 75 people on their record did do full interviews as I'm listening this one overlooked fact here is that

2:45:42 The New York Times and the Washington Post do stories with nobody on the record. They don't talk to 200 people, they don't talk to anybody and they have just as sources somebody thinks that somebody heard somebody else said something about something." No, they talked to the campaign about it! That's what they did and they removed part of their reporting that talked about the pattern of him fondling and touching people which was not a problem at all So you end up with the anomaly where PBS, just a TV show it's not even any good anymore. Get 75 people to talk on their record about a specific thing and the newspapers who have people that are supposed to be doing this making a lot of phone calls they get nobody for anything it's unbelievable

2:46:31 Well, I just thought it was remarkable that they did on PBS. Why do they have to do that many people? What are they trying to prove? And did they talk about any of their research or is that the series of clips you want to do now? The series of clips? Yeah if we have time i'll do this series of clips let's start there's only three of them okay and uh the longest one is the first one and we'll play that two months ago allegations arose accusing former vice president joe biden of sexual assault Tara Reid, who in 1993 worked in the office of then-Senator Biden, said that he assaulted her. Biden has categorically denied the allegations which now face examination from the public.

2:47:10 Our own Dan Bush and Lisa Desjardins did extensive reporting, talking to 74 former Biden staffers to learn more about the vice president, the culture in his offices and their thoughts on the allegations. The two join me now to share what they have learned. Hello to both of you. And I'm going to turn to you both, but Lisa, to begin take us through what you did and what you learned in all from talking to all these people? Yeah Judy we reached out to tried to reach out to some 200 former Biden staffers that we were able to have in-depth interviews with some 74 of them. Now 62 of these former staffers were women and, to a person Judy those women told us they had never had any experience that was uncomfortable with the former vice president or had ever heard of any experience it was uncomfortable or worse many of them said they had spent time with him alone during work hours and if they had

2:48:09 they wanted to say that most of them didn't want to reflect on whether what Tara Reid is saying is true or not, but they did say that it did not reflect their experiences at all. Especially in a workplace that Dan and I both heard from them, they felt empowered women. That's right Lisa. I would add to that also that a lot of the former staffers we spoke to said while they never felt uncomfortable, they did confirm what we all know about Joe Biden, which is his history. His habit of reaching out making physical contact with people he speaks to touching them we spoke to people who said at the time this it was known about Biden that you would rub your shoulders squeeze your shoulders give people hugs and kisses and again while the people we spoke to said that they themselves didn't feel uncomfortable they did acknowledge

2:48:58 Oh, man. Now, they did dig up two interesting little tidbits which are I don't know if they're important or not. They're trying to they really going out of their way to protect Biden so no kidding is the candidate let's face it. No kidding yeah Let's listen to clip 2 And Lisa you also uncovered frankly new details that reflect on Tara Reade's allegation that

2:49:37 She says she was forced out of the office because she complained about being uncomfortable, about this sexual incident. Tell us exactly what you learned about that and why it matters? Well, Tara Reade says that she complained about previous sexual harassment in the office and that after she complained She says she was retaliated against and for a couple of ways And that eventually forced her out of the office. We spoke to the man who shared an office with her His name is Ben Savage they work together on constituent mail

2:50:12 Ben Savage told us that actually it was a performance problem with Tara Reid, that he himself raised to supervisors. In some cases he said she was throwing out constituent important records of constituent mail and that the problem was bad enough that he raised it to supervisors. He believes that's why she left and here is some of the interview I had with him over the phone. And of all people who held that position, she's the only one during my time there who couldn't necessarily keep up without more down and frustrating. We of course reached out to Tara Reid she declined our request for an interview but her attorney did give us detailed responses to our questions among them, this exact issue he said that story is flat wrong here's what Doug Wigdor wrote us in response he wrote Miss Reid recalls that there was a lot of nitpicking regarding her performance in the office she was also very nervous at that point and distracted so it's possible from time-to-time there wasn't mistake made but her performance

2:51:11 had nothing to do with her termination. Judy, we do know that Reed worked in that office for about nine months. Wait a minute! She says she was... I thought she left? She was terminated?! Yeah. Hmmmm Well, then there's a termination letter and there is something there that I haven't heard about. Somebody has got to have some documentation for this and by the way what kind of job are you going through? Mail? This is not a complicated job that you can't keep up! Come on, bull crap, I worked in government. Did they, did they now how was this report presented? This is it. This is the presentation of their findings or they have a package or... No no there's no package but there's a little bit of a package in this last clip where this guy goes on to

2:51:58 which I have to explain after the presentation. This is part three. And Dan, you also learned new information from Reid's attorney about the location that Tara Reade says is where Joe Biden assaulted her. So tell us about that. That's right, Judy. Reid's attorney provided us with new information about this assault of this alleged assault saying that read claims that it took place somewhere between the Russell building where Biden had an office at the time and the US Capitol building the Anybody who has been to this part of the Capitol knows that there are a lot of people moving through these spaces, especially when Congress is in session. Lawmakers their age reporters There's a police presence as well and what a lot of these former Biden staffers told us is look

2:53:07 Look, these are public places. If this allegation is true if it took place it would have been extremely brazen Judy because the likelihood that it would have been seen by someone was very high man. If well I give you an explanation of what they showed first he showed the big long hallway there was nobody there Then he showed a spot where there's that little subway system and there was a crowd there. And then he showed another shot, there were zero people! He's going on about all the people down there. They're showing these photos! Showing empty corridors...

CHAPTER 38 / 38 Discussion

Biden Campaign Viability, Hillary Clinton Speculation, Outro

The show concludes with a debate on Joe Biden's viability as a candidate, with the hosts suggesting he is a "sham" candidate being managed by globalist interests. They speculate on a "croak countdown" and the possibility of Hillary Clinton being inserted into the ticket. The episode ends with a series of musical mixes featuring clips of "Obamaphones" and pandemic-related commentary.

2:53:46 I don't know what happened. We will not know, we'll never know. Believe all women whatever the fact of the matter is look here's the deal Joe Biden is not qualified to run for anything it's a sham! I don't know what's going on. I don't know why they're doing this It makes no sense and I would hope that we remember the people who were speaking so glowingly and lovingly about Joe Biden, about his experience and what a great president he'll make in these days specifically. Because i'd like to talk to those people after whatever happens happens because it'll become apparent that this was a scam whether he gets an office or not is going to be apparent

2:54:33 Yeah, I don't get it personally. I don't know what the point of it unless is just to put somebody in the vice president slot that you know you can't get elected Amy Klobuchar be a good example no one's voting for her she did poorly and all the primaries but you can get her as president and she'd be a good bureaucrat and as long as she's a globalist is good to go I mean, they're trying to get a globalist back in the office and get back on track here of turning the country over or national sovereignty should be turned over to a one world government. That's obviously what's going on. And there are people that advocate for that. And that's the Corona thing is all about that.

2:55:13 I think Joe Biden is right. He's very smart, he stays in his basement and it's very intelligent of his campaign that they do not let any outsiders in from Comcast or any smart people who are going to come in and fix their sound because the likelihood of him being killed is high right now Certainly in the corona period we'd have a great excuse. I fear for Joe's life at this point There's no way anyone who was running any show with the Democratic National Party of Democratic Party Thinks that this guy is actually gonna be something worth anything as a president It's just like yeah, just totally disagreement with you You're speaking from a logical perspective as if the Democrats are logical now. I'm waiting for you and

2:55:59 I just think they're illogical. I think they're sincere, I think they sincerely think this guy's gonna be a great president They are keeping most of the gaffes out of public eye so that the public doesn't notice and so he can get in They believe their own publicity So when they see Washington post poll that says Biden is going to beat Trump by 10 points I think they believe it? I don't think...they think that is bull crap I think, well this guy's a winner. This guy can beat Trump that's all we want this guy can be Trump yeah maybe he won't be the best guy but you can beat Trump and is a good guys one of ours is one of our guys in his next on the list and these are guys up next up to bat

2:56:37 No matter what strategy you look at, it's apparent that people are being chosen around him or selected or people are getting ready in case he either dies in office and okay we disagree on this but the way this is being run and if you're telling me that the people who run the DNC I'm not talking about Democrats. I'm talking about the the prostitutes on television they're just doing what they're told to do I'm sure they believe But this to me sounds like a setup for someone who was not nominated, someone who is not running. Someone who's going to have to come in and save the day when something bad happens to Joe that is a scenario that has to be looked at Well that brings Hillary back into the mix Thank you very much

2:57:21 That's all I can think of. And if not that, then yeah... Then people are just delusional because this man is not appropriate for any kind of public office. Delusional is the right word! Any kind of public office Well, Hillary again is the one that could be targeting the whole thing. She could be behind everything I mean their machines still exists and there's a lot of support for it and it I think the general public in United States will get extremely irked at this point if Hillary swoops in Because I think they're gonna see the whole thing was it was a setup. What's the point? What is that what's wrong with the Democrats so they can't find anybody how about this first scenario wait a minute let me she's flying over hold on you gotta be careful when she Those low fly-by, she does are little dangerous and feel the flapping of her wings aiming for Trump's hair So how about this how about oh

2:58:19 We choose an African-American woman for vice president, Joe Crooks. Then we get Hillary as President, Black Hillary as Vice President How does Hillary get in? If Joe croaks is he gonna croak before or after his nomination? No no! Before the nomination of course yeah of course before the nomination So he's going to have to croak within the next two months And the clock is ticking The Biden crock- croak countdown clock has started. T minus two months I hope not, but I don't know well. I hope not too. I'd rather see Joe in it Much more entertaining much better much more entertaining That is it for our deconstruction for today we have end of show mixes coming up from Jesse Coy Nelson and we've got us some
