About this episode

Florida health officials face scrutiny after 333 testing labs reported a 100 percent positive rate for COVID-19, a statistical anomaly involving thousands of tests. Governor Greg Abbott and Austin Mayor Steve Adler are now leveraging these surging metrics to push for total mask compliance and potential secondary lockdowns across Texas. As the World Health Organization warns of a global leadership vacuum, the shift toward mandatory masking is being framed as a psychological tool for future vaccine mandates.

Secondary developments include Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro testing positive for the virus while continuing to champion hydroxychloroquine against WHO guidance. In the United States, CDC Director Robert Redfield is defending school reopening plans as universities like Harvard face backlash for charging full tuition for remote Zoom learning. Meanwhile, Operation Warp Speed leaders Dr. Deborah Birx and Dr. Francis Collins are under the microscope for their past involvement in controversial HIV vaccine trials. The Vatican has also entered the fray, with the Pontifical Academy of Sciences facing questions over its alignment with Chinese state interests and the receipt of PPP loans by the Catholic Church.

Distinctive moments include a breakdown of the phrase doing the work as a modern psychological trigger rooted in the method acting techniques of Lee Strasberg. The hosts also analyze a viral confrontation involving Michael Lofthouse in Carmel Valley and the conversion of the Hagia Sophia into a mosque by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak provide their signature value-for-value analysis on everything from Kanye West’s presidential run to the rebranding of the Washington Redskins.

Florida Travel Experience, COVID-19 Hotel Service Restrictions

A trip from Texas to Florida reveals the current state of the travel and hospitality sectors during the pandemic. Hotel services in Fort Lauderdale are significantly reduced, featuring plastic cups, styrofoam meal trays, and mandatory mask requirements in gyms. Despite the lack of traditional amenities, travel costs are historically low with waived resort fees and discounted airfare on Southwest Airlines.

00:00 We need cohesion! Adam Curry, John C. DeVora It's Sunday July 12th 2020 this is your award-winning Gimbal Nation Media assassination episode 1259 This is no agenda Fully muzzled and broadcasting live from the mouth of the rat in the number one Rona hotspot in the nation In the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley, we just missed an eight car Zephyr right on time and we're still trying to figure out what Joe Biden actually says. I'm John C DeVore. It's Crackpot & Buzzkill! In the morning... Yay? Well in the morning to you John. In the morning to you and all them in the morning all stripped to see boots of their ground feet in the air subs at the water all the dames and knights out there. Yeah I'm happy to hear that were still stable at an 8-car Zephyr this is good news We do like hearing this

00:53 That's excellent. And I am in Florida What? I'm in Florida and by the way that was spelled W-U-T what very good what yes, I'm in Florida Good yes, I know why it's Tina's birthday yesterday was Tina's birthday you're absolutely right friends and family every well no She well friends and family were supposed to come to us But no one came So I decided, I would surprise her and we hopped on the flight Friday morning and flew down here. And so she is able to see at least one of her friends for her birthday but yeah no one wanted to fly also some some of our family work in the medical field so they have an actual legitimate reason to not necessarily want to come to Texas

01:48 So we decided and by the way, Texas is scaring people off flying and traveling The best deals ever right now. Yeah There's some $39 deals out here get $39 do it equals the that the Airport is fantastic It's like flying private almost It is. And we took, well of course Southwest is pretty much the only airline that you can kind of rely on right now I guess and there would know they have no direct flights to Florida now so he had to go to Dallas and then from Dallas at the Florida but there was a max 40 people on each flight so it was fantastic yeah of course and this is a consistent theme No Service

02:37 There's no service anywhere. So we're in a hotel... No peanuts? No, no peanuts! We're in a hotel and this is the worst it's really so bad It's not a single glass the room has you know just plastic cups there's nothing in the minibar You go down you have breakfast they bring it out in styrofoam trays. You've got disposable cutlery Those would be living in Russia. Room service comes in a brown paper bag, it's really really disappointing how the service sector has to conduct itself just to have some people at all everywhere masks are 100% mandatory including and this is crazy the gym

03:30 So Tina went... You don't really want to be wearing a mask at the gym. She went down to the gym yesterday morning, which she had to reserve there was only one other person there and then- Hold on before this question fades The daily rates at the hotel I assume are lower? Oh my goodness It's like yes considerably lower and of course you get what you pay for it this point but Yeah, it's... So now is the time to travel. Now is the time to travel also not only is the rate lower not only do they give us $50 extra to spend on anything we want every day there's the resort fee is waived

Florida COVID-19 Testing, 100 Percent Positive Rate Discrepancy

Reports indicate that 333 testing labs in Florida recorded a 100% positive rate for COVID-19 tests, a statistical anomaly involving over 3,500 tests. This data contributes to a reported daily increase of over 10,000 cases in the state. Speculation arises regarding whether these numbers reflect actual viral spread, data entry errors, or a push toward herd immunity.

florida· covid-19 testing· data discrepancy· herd immunity· mar-a-lago

04:19 And what was it like some other benefit that we got? Oh yeah, fourth night free. It's fantastic and I'm really happy! I'm happy that they're doing it but this morning I wake up to the following news 333 Florida testing labs you can't make the number up of course today reported 100% positive tests in the state So, 333 of the testing labs in Florida which did 3528 tests by this so that was I guess yesterday 100% positive. Is that even a probability logistically speaking? No! So that would be 34 percent of today's reported 10360 new cases How can it be one hundred percent

05:17 It just seems so unlikely. Or bullcrap! What if we actually have that kind of spread? What if it's finally there, where we have oh goodness herd immunity or something like that? Is it crazy to think this? Well, if it doesn't want... It is crazy to think that unless it somehow hurts Trump benefits Biden. Yeah, Trump is here or at least he was I think Friday and we didn't even know that we flew in Mar-a-Lago? No no! We're in a Fort Lauderdale area and I think he did... Where's Mar-a-Lago anyways? Palm Beach. That's Palm Beach yeah

06:06 So it's, I mean that's mind-boggling to me. So i'm just gonna say sure they're all accurate I guess... Then we're in a whole different realm of it's nonsense, you know Okay 333 is a giveaway. I can't help that Percent but where we come on where we left? We left Texas. We left Texas in shambles, Texas get out of that hellhole Left Texas in shambles listen to what Austin was being subjected to on Friday.

CHAPTER 03 / 51 Discussion

Austin Mask Mandates, In-Home Social Distancing Recommendations

Health officials in Austin, Texas, are proposing 35-day shutdowns or 100% mask compliance to curb the virus. New recommendations suggest that individuals should consider wearing masks inside their own homes if they cannot socially distance from family members with underlying conditions. This follows World Health Organization acknowledgments regarding the potential for aerosol spread of the virus.

austin· texas· mask mandate· social distancing· aerosol spread

07:02 Who's that talking? Oh, this is the guy. This is the DSHS official who keeps coming in... I should have set that up ...who keeps appearing in the Austin City Council meetings and saying well we've either got to do 100% masks or 35 days shutdown! What's he doing in the Austin City Council meetings?! Does he live in Austin? He's an off. I don't know if he lives in Austin, but it's all zoom video So I don't know where he comes in from this interview with Antonio cuz his lifelong He said this yeah this interview I think no I think the background is awesome so we may have been in awesome But typically isn't San Antonio, but this is the guy This is the guy who's in charge of it, but listen to what he has to say because it's

07:47 It's nuts! All of us are capable of catching this disease. None of us are immune from this. Now listen to the rationalization though! It's mind-boggling And the fact that we need to get across in order to protect ourselves, we need to protect our families and our loved ones We really need to be thinking about the care that we're providing inside the home right now, to make sure that we're not spreading this disease inside the home and then making it come outside of the house. So let me get this straight what you are effectively saying is people should be wearing masks inside their own homes now? Ryan I'm saying if you can't socially distance and can't socially isolate or if you've been out in public exposing yourself

08:41 decontaminated yourself good enough when you get home if you have someone that has underlying medical conditions at home we really need to be thinking about that now if you're the same two or three people that are living in the same house and you're really taking care of yourself and you're following all the rules then you probably don't wear a mask here's the thing that gets me now that the who has come out and themselves have said, well you know it looks kind of like we have spread through the air. Aerosol spread which we here at the No Agenda Show I've known for what when did we talk to the dog six weeks ago five weeks ago? It was too long to remember so this was exactly what we heard and that in the best place to be is outside not

09:27 not at home and certainly not, you know we have a hundred degree plus in Texas where people immediately go inside. You got the air conditioner there's all kinds of ways for to get spread that in that manner but if you only open a window or turn on the ceiling fan you'll be much better and here's the thing that pisses me off the most mask mask mask mask everywhere a mask N95 masks are dangerous to my health. I want everyone to understand that we've been told, well first you needed to have the N95 mask or we're going to die and this is four months ago. Everybody needed an N95 mask which is a mask that filters in but has a valve and you blow out unfiltered air You're not filtering anyone, you're not protecting anybody if you wear that But that's not being said Would just be told to wear a mask? Wear a mask inside! Wear a mask when you are having sex Report right here

10:31 Couples should wear face masks during sex, new study insists. I mean what is going on? This has nothing to do with medical science at this point No they're just... They're screwing with us What else we get them to do? Well, so we got the reports of the... well actually let's listen to the text. Did you actually read a sex study that says you should have a mask on? Yes I did! No. Yes I do. I read the studies absolutely it's a no-no is there any study I thought you just put me on your just you were just pulling a Matt Taibbi on me. No I'm not like you they're actually

CHAPTER 04 / 51 Discussion

Governor Greg Abbott, Texas Hospitalization and Death Data

Texas Governor Greg Abbott reports the deadliest week in the state, attributing current deaths to infections contracted in late May. However, analysis suggests that hospitalization numbers are influenced by the resumption of elective surgeries, with only approximately 30% of ICU beds actually occupied by COVID-19 patients. The 45-day lag between infection and death cited by the Governor is questioned against standard 12-day quarantine periods.

greg abbott· texas· hospitalizations· elective surgery· covid-19 deaths

11:12 There actually was a study where couples were encouraged to wear face masks during sex. Now let's go... Will they do that at the S&M clubs? We're being led down a very dangerous path I would like to now turn to the, the turncoat governor of Texas Greg Abbott. I have no idea Either he's being threatened or he is on a massive power grab and I have misjudged this man from the beginning. Let's listen to his story about the rise in testing and deaths, and I would like to remind ourselves that in July hospitalization deaths always increase

11:56 And the reason why they increase, crazy enough is because this is when the new doctors come into the medical field. They leave school they come into the hospitals they're doing their first service as doctors and not only had a clip about it we also had a cartoon about it We had a car- oh that's right! We animated No Agenda about it yes exactly So this is a fact and that is if you look at the numbers it's a slight increase. It could be exactly this but let's listen to the governor of the great state of Texas. Governor we have seen that the deadliest week in Texas since all started and we just hit a new high for hospitalizations do you feel... Okay I need to stop

12:41 When they talk about hospitalizations, what is not being told is we now have let all of the elective surgeries come in. Elective means people who have cancer other issues. Elective means not emergency so there are number of beds and their number of ICU units that have been reserved for COVID-19 approximately 30% of the total That is not being discussed. So when you hear the ICUs or beds are maxing out, that is for only the COVID portion which is as I said about 30% of Austin hospitals by their own numbers You have to read all the way down the bottom of the news story in order to get that small detail The more interesting thing she said this is the deadliest how many people died?

13:32 Yeah, I don't understand this either. Looking at every chart, I don't see how it's the deadliest but...I mean, I don't know what she is basing it on. She said deadliest would be the deadliest! And I can't find that in the numbers. Governor we have seen the deadliest week in Texas since this all started and we just hit a new high for hospitalizations Do you feel that we've seen the worst already or do you believe things are going to get worse before they get better? Things will get worse and let me explain why. And that is... He's such an uplifting guy, isn't he? The deaths that we are seeing announced today and yesterday which are now over a hundred those are people who likely contracted COVID-19 in late May remember this

14:18 This there's no data to back up what he's saying by the way. There's no data that says Here's the number of days people typically are in the hospital or the ICU until they die I think is just pulling this out of his ass Oh, these are the people who had it in May okay massive spike occurred in the second or third hold on it may He says these are people June and now halfway through July is taking 45 days? Give me a break! Those are people who... It's supposed to be two weeks max. This is why I can't believe any of it. That's what, just the 12-day quarantine you don't have a 45 day incubation period where does that come from his butt

15:03 That's just a blatant lie. I'm pretty sure it is too, but that's what i'm saying there's something else going on and I think we can figure out quite easily which are now over 100 those are people who likely contracted COVID-19 in late May remember this massive spike occurred in the second or third week of June and so uh and that's what led to this massive increase in hospitalizations as well There's no massive increase. People going to ICU units and so actually the worst is yet to come as we work our way through that massive increase in people testing positive, that said it's also essential to make sure the people in the greater Lubbock area understand this and that is this isn't something that's relegated only to the big cities of Dallas and Houston now Lubbock is interesting and Lubbock apparently there's something going on in Lubbock

Lubbock Community Spread, Texas Lockdown Threats

Lubbock, Texas, is experiencing a significant increase in positive cases and hospitalizations, described by Governor Abbott as widespread community spread. The Governor emphasizes that mask-wearing is the final effort to avoid a secondary economic lockdown. Local officials, including Austin Mayor Steve Adler, support the mandate as a means to keep businesses and schools operational.

lubbock· texas· community spread· face masks· economic lockdown

16:00 Lubbock is a big college town. They're known for spreading all kinds of disease around, didn't they have the blue fever? I have no idea what you are talking about! Yeah yeah there was some venereal disease that the college kids were passing around. Yes we did a whole show about it The blue waffle, yeah the blue waffle. Don't you remember this? The Blue Waffle? Look it up! I do not remember that for sure. Look up the Blue Waffle and play the rest of the clip You're seeing hospitalizations in Lubbock double. You're seeing a massive increase in people testing positive. The reason is because we now have what's called widespread community spread of COVID-19 in the Lubbock area when someone in Lubbock goes out

16:45 to any place they go to and engage with somebody else, neither of them know whether or not the other has COVID-19. That's how massive it is that is exactly why we made this request that people begin wearing face masks The only way that we can keep our businesses open, the only way that we can have people continue to have a job they need to pay their bills is for everybody to adopt this practice of wearing a face mask. Doctors have proven that this is a safe way to engage in commerce while also slowing the spread of the coronavirus. Bless you. I hope you're okay there so

17:22 His numbers come from strange places. I'm not quite sure, I can't find any of this in the literature but we'll just have to take his word for it and he goes a little bit further here in his double down of the situation and where its going to take us. If the mask order is not enough to make a difference soon what is the next step? Great question. It's important for people to understand... Is that a great question? Not a great question. If the mask order is not enough to make a difference soon, what is the next step? Great question and it's important for people to understand... By the way stop! She's really asking you for... That's procedural where he asks what is the next step

18:01 Asking what is the next step is not a great question by any means. Just to double down on what you just said... It's actually just an irregular question for procedure, that's how it should be. Could you turn your speakers down just a tad John? I'm coming through kind of hard there If the mask order is not enough to make a difference soon What is the next step Great question. It's important for people to understand this, so the way you ask it is if mask order is not enough I will tell you this that if people use face coverings it will be enough So the only way that would not be enough as if the public does not adopt this practice

18:41 And the public needs to understand that this was a very tough decision for me to make, to make this level of requirement. I know that your mayor strongly supports this. That's Austin Mayor Adler But we need the community to strongly support it and the reason is this...I made clear that I made this tough decision for one reason it was our last best effort to slow the spread of COVID-19 if we do not slow the spread of COVID-19 With that rise of hospitalizations that you're seeing in Lubbock, with the increased death rate we're seeing in the state of Texas. The next step would have to be a lockdown. The last thing I wanna do, the last thing anybody in Texas wants to do is just see another lockdown hence the best thing everybody can do Is do this thing that's inconvenient of wearing your face covering knowing it will keep your jobs open, your economy open and your businesses open

CHAPTER 06 / 51 Discussion

WHO Director Tedros, Global Solidarity and Leadership

World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated that the greatest threat currently faced is not the virus itself, but a lack of global leadership and solidarity. Critics interpret these calls for "cohesion" and "unity" as political messaging favoring a globalist agenda and the presidential campaign of Joe Biden. The rhetoric suggests the virus thrives on division, necessitating a united global front.

19:34 Okay, let me just give you some boots on the ground and bearing in mind that 333 floor and we might will just stay with the bullcrap. We'll say with everyone's bull crap so by Abbott's bullcrap That we have to do this we have to stop immediately And you can see Florida which does not have a lockdown situation has many more cases than Texas It's number one They now have 100% positive rate at many test centers. Isn't the entire idea to build up immunity? And if we have that at this point, and we don't have massive amounts of people dying then what is this really about? The vaccine is intended to also create a version of herd immunity enough people have to take it enough people have to have antibodies so what is stopping us at this point well I think Tedros

20:29 The president, CEO and chief douchebag of the World Health Organization can tell us exactly what this is about. Make no mistake... The greatest threat we face now is not the virus itself! Okay, can I just replay that? The greatest threat we face right now is NOT THE VIRUS ITSELF?! This must be good news!! The greatest threat we face now is NOT the virus itself Rather, it's the lack of leadership. Oh! Lack of leadership... Let's see what else is going on with that? And solidarity. At the global and national levels. We need global cooperation and leadership?! That's why I said earlier each individual should reflect

21:22 And we cannot defeat this pandemic as a divided world. We cannot defeat the pandemic as a divided world? The COVID-19 pandemic is a test of global solidarity and global leadership. Oh, the virus thrives on division. The virus thrives on division! Ladies and gentlemen vote for Biden We need cohesion! Vote for Joe, don't vote for Trump. That is divisive and the virus will win we will die. It's like a Star Trek episode to take all the fear out of your brains it eats up your fear and grows The virus thrives on division but it starts when we unite Okay now

22:10 How can we have on one hand people telling us you need masks, you're having sex have a mask. Wear condom and a mask and a mask over the condom and a condom over your head? Wherever you are make sure you're wearing the mask N95 doesn't matter if your exhaling direct virus it's fine just wear put a sock on your face that's fine Come on, man. We're being hoodwinked here! That's the guy that everyone points to when he says it's not dangerous but our divisiveness? Yeah, that is what he said because we are not one world government. That is just completely nuts. But... One world government would not have happened And it looks like President Trump is coming along a bit

23:02 it. The president had been asked about whether or not he was going to wear a mask and now the president doing just that. There's certainly a shot that the president wanted to see captured on camera, it will be interesting to watch the fallout from all of this. Okay so looks like he's all in on the unity and quite appropriate. They probably they had to have had a meeting can we

Donald Trump Mask Appearance, Presidential Seal Branding

President Donald Trump was captured on camera wearing a dark face mask featuring the presidential seal during a visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. This shift in optics is viewed as a move toward the "unity" narrative promoted by health organizations. Speculation exists regarding the future release of branded campaign masks.

22:10 How can we have on one hand people telling us you need masks, you're having sex have a mask. Wear condom and a mask and a mask over the condom and a condom over your head? Wherever you are make sure you're wearing the mask N95 doesn't matter if your exhaling direct virus it's fine just wear put a sock on your face that's fine Come on, man. We're being hoodwinked here! That's the guy that everyone points to when he says it's not dangerous but our divisiveness? Yeah, that is what he said because we are not one world government. That is just completely nuts. But... One world government would not have happened And it looks like President Trump is coming along a bit

There's certainly a shot that the president wanted to see captured on camera, it will be interesting to watch the fallout from all of this. Okay so looks like he's all in on the unity and quite appropriate. They probably they had to have had a meeting can we

23:49 Get a mask that's red and says make America great again That that's coming There's no doubt. That's come they're already out there They must be it must be out there, but the presidential seal is pretty cool inside fine. Oh, it's totally cool He looks like a bandit about Dito well So, coming down all these things are kind of I feel like coming together right now and this is the last push as we get ready for the vaccines. And where we're at right now is hurting a lot of people and will get to that. I know you have a couple of clips. I just want to remind us about this concept of asymptomatic

CHAPTER 08 / 51 Discussion

Asymptomatic vs Pre-symptomatic Spread, Vaccine Compliance

Conflicting reports from the World Health Organization and various research studies debate the impact of "silent spreaders" on the pandemic. While some data suggests asymptomatic transmission is rare, newer models claim pre-symptomatic cases drive half of all infections. This focus on invisible transmission is characterized as a psychological tool to ensure public compliance with future vaccine mandates.

asymptomatic spread· pre-symptomatic· silent spreaders· vaccine· compliance

24:28 spread. We also need to think of something called pre-symptomatic spread, asymptomatic, presymptomatic not the same thing let's just remind you what the World Health Organization organization the only statement they've ever made it's not current it wasn't today but the only statement that they've ever made about asymptomatic spread is the following from the data we have it still seems to be rare that an asymptomatic person actually transmits onward to a second secondary individual. It doesn't matter because we just need to call them the silent spreaders and new research indicates asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic COVID 19 cases are a primary driver of the virus spreading scientists have found that silent transmission could be responsible for half of COVID19 cases

25:17 I remember. Wait a minute, we got one woman from the WHO saying that there's nobody spreading this way and now we have somebody saying half of them? Where did this study come from? Oh it's all... There are studies, there is a million studies And you don't even have to look at them, but the key here is... Like the global warming studies. The money's flowing apparently for these studies! Oh yeah. The key is silent spreaders. This is intended to make you fearful and demand that everybody wear a mask because they're going to kill YOU. Remember as we've learned from Black Lives Matter

25:54 Silence is violence. The study found more than one third of these infections would need to be identified and isolated to suppress a future outbreak the model assumed COVID-19 may be most contagious during the pre symptomatic stage so you know wait wait it's gotten even worse apparently the spread is worse during presympathetic oh yeah So, that's why I can't take it seriously if everyone says wear a mask. Wear a mask but it's really you can make one of a face cloth you could put your old underwear over your face N95 mask is great You're exhaling directly through a valve unfiltered Don't worry about it! You're saving life Come on That's insulting to anybody It's just crazy and this is what its about Replace the word mask

26:50 with vaccine. And then you know why we're going through this." That's the only conclusion that makes sense it's controlling you, forcing you to go along with the program, not kill other people even though on the face of it... It's bullshit! Makes no sense! Don't worry- So you're right I'm not gonna argue any of this but now kind of curious about Abbott Flip-flopping and then Trump wearing the mask and then the constant references to Lubbock College Town Here I get this sense that they're just say okay, you gonna play this game Your colleges aren't opening up. Let's see how long you can live on that endowment yeah, you can do a fly by wire oh I like that idea I love that well Lubbock is because I hadn't heard of Lubbock until this particular report and

University Reopening Challenges, Tuition and Online Learning

The debate over reopening schools distinguishes between K-12 education and major universities like Harvard and Yale. White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany has questioned why students are required to pay full tuition for remote learning via Zoom. The financial stability of these institutions is at risk as the "fly-by-wire" education model diminishes the traditional value of the university experience.

harvard· yale· higher education· tuition· zoom classes

27:51 You said it was the Blue Waffle Center. No, I hadn't heard of them in the context of coronavirus or COVID-19 is the first time hearing of some explosion there? Yes, this is new yeah so I'm thinking what about let's these universities are a scourge in terms of they don't teach Americans civics, history anything that's positive about the it's all switched over to a socialist Howard Zinn sort of curriculum which is hate America. Yes! Which we don't need I mean this seems like the last thing you want is just brainwashing kids to hate America so when they come out they can't work they can get jobs it goes on and on and so let's see what happens if put the squeeze on them

28:36 That's a very odd strategy. It costs a lot of money to run one of those things, you can't just shut down and how many students are going to pay full tuition? In fact Kaylee made mention of this in her last press conference. I did not get this clip because i ran out of room but Kaylee said well you know maybe she should talk to these uh talk to my alma mater, she I guess graduated from Harvard someplace? She's a hot shot oh really! She says why don't you talk to these people about why are students paying full tuition and they don't even get to go to a class they have to take it all by wire or you know by zoom so why are they paying full tuition? Why don't you ask that question

29:17 which is, you know the way she does things. And I'm asking it now! Well there this again it's all politics and none of it benefits us okay great so now we've got the president playing the same shitty politics and meanwhile we are we are the victims of it just more moreso because of this? And what if Abbott says 35-day lockdown?! She's not gonna do that Let's just assume he's not gonna do it. Okay, because I... At least let me assume they're not going to do that and this whole thing is targeting the universities at this point because they can't hold it off anymore so okay we'll play your game and let's see what happens with these universities when they talk about reopening the schools They're talking about reopening the schools that kids go to Kids who really don't get COVID Right They're not talking about reopening the universities where adults

30:10 Yeah, you're 18-19 when you go to university but your old compared to like a seven year old or eight year old So it's possible. I liked the theory that they're Well, really I think across the country we're seeing these big institutions are going down. It'll never come back! The whole concept... there's too many strikes against Harvard and Yale. Sure the elites will still get their papers from them but they won't even attend it's all gonna be as cheap as possible no one wants to pay this full tuition anymore if that's to bring that down is part of the plan okay

Robert De Niro, Financial Impact of Pandemic

Actor Robert De Niro reportedly faces financial strain due to the pandemic's impact on his restaurant and hotel investments, including Tribeca Grill and Nobu. Legal proceedings involving his ex-wife highlight a reduction in his annual income and disputes over monthly credit card limits. The situation serves as an example of the economic reach of the lockdowns into the entertainment and hospitality elite.

30:48 You know, it's very annoying to me and to be threatened with 35-day lockdown is stressful. It gives me Ajita! I don't like it at all! Yeah but you're media exempt? Not the point as you know. Even Robert De Niro he is coronavirus has ruined his finances What? Yeah, Robert De Niro is ruined because of the coronavirus. It's all working out for the best! No listen he put all his money in Tribeca Grill and the hotel He's got money in Nobu All that shut down And his ex-wife she demands a $100,000 a month Amex limit

31:37 So he's out there with his accountant saying, I'm ruined man. I don't know if i can get through this! I only make seven and a half million dollars a year now. I can't afford to live this way That's Robert De Niro literally complaining in the press about that Wow. All right, I want to hear what you've got for COVID and then I want to get into vaccines. We have some roundups... Yeah we got some vaccine stuff to talk about. ...a number of ways to go. I mean just specifically to COVID but bringing up this something that San Antonio had mentioned and we talked about the little kids going to school they're not gonna get anything although they can bring it home

Pre-K for SA, Early Childhood Brain Development

The "Pre-K for SA" program in San Antonio is promoted as an essential investment in the "brain architecture" of four-year-olds. Program directors argue that early academic concepts are necessary for long-term success, justifying a cost of $11,000 per child. The program also serves as a 10-hour-a-day childcare service for working families, with plans to expand free access to middle-class households.

san antonio· pre-k· brain development· npr· childcare

32:25 which has to be considered. But there's this thing going on, this pre-K... They always try to do this with pre-k. They're trying to brainwash the kids and so you can't brainwash them in colleges because these guys are all gonna go under and that's where the big brainwashing is. I don't know how much brainwashing you can do to a kid but somebody must have some evidence of something Because they keep pushing for pre-k, pre-K, pre-K. Let's listen to this clips Pre-K for San Antonio 1 So first of all I just wanted to ask you tell us why pre-k matters? You're a former teacher, your an administrator, you've also taught education courses at the university level so you kind have that birdseye view of the whole system Why does pre-k matter

33:06 Well, Pre-K is really about brain development. We know that young children's brains develop about 90% of their architecture in the first five years and so we really need to focus on those first years to make sure that children have the underlying academic concepts and brain structures to learn at high levels later on. So it's a really good investment, a good way to get children off to a great start Whoa, whoa. I don't know what a clip 2 is but this is a boarderline So these kids are what? What does kindergarten...kindergarten is 5? Yeah these are 4 year olds. We've got it! We gotta get their brain structure just right. Hmmmm Well if you play that clip again she says academic

33:55 Yeah, academic structure brain at four years old. Let me see what we've met a four-year-old So we really need to focus on those first years To make sure that children have the underlying academic concepts and brain structures to learn high levels later on Years old are you kidding me who was this woman who is saying this she's the head of this operation called pre K for SA And this is on NPR. Of course, yeah! I'm now mining in PR people are gonna get a lot of good stuff. Beauty beauty beauty alright

34:35 And so she's got this thing going on with them. There is a lot of money involved and they are all concerned that not everyone can get in on the... Pre-K always seemed to me to be like, you know it's a babysitting service. Totally! If anybody thinks they're getting academic anything there got their heads up. Wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute. So this is great but this is the biggest problem parents have People need their kids to go back to school. I know people who are spending $190-$200 a week in childcare so that they can work if the government now will step in and say, give them even earlier! Don't worry we're going to give them the right brain structure for higher learning later on. Mmmmm... Yeah which is a crock but okay

35:20 She's got a good pitch. Let's listen to part two, it's longer It is my understanding that your program spends an average of more than $11,000 per child compared with about $9,000 per child for public school What accounts for that difference? And I understand that is the source of some criticism So how do you answer that Isn't that the VIG Doesn't everybody know what that extra 2 grand is We know what that is Come on ladies! Here we know it That's called acquisition cost Hello Right. So what I say is we spend what it takes to get quality because we know that only if you have high quality are you going to get those long-term outcomes that are associated with early learning, but we also invest in our people so we pay a livable wage to our assistant teachers and our teachers but also we offer a program that goes from 7 15 in the morning till 6 o'clock at night because we know that families

36:12 when they're working, they can't leave at the end of school day at 3 o'clock to come pick up their children. And so ours is a 10-hour program for families that are working full time or going to school full time and that's where some additional dollars go as well. And then here is another side of criticism I understand it there are kids in San Antonio who don't qualify for pre K4 SA as we mentioned at the outset its for families with limited income, military families and English language learners But then the kind of high-quality pre-K that you're talking about is very expensive. There have to be families that are stuck in the middle, they don't qualify for Pre K 4 SA but they can afford these private programs so what's the vision for them?

36:55 Well, that's exactly right. So we go up for reauthorization in November and in our next eight-year authorization that's where we're going to focus. We are going to make pre-K, first say free of charge to families who are in that middle class making up to $65,000 a year they make too much to qualify for the free pre-k in the public sector but not enough to afford it in private sector so that's really where were gonna focus And we're going to work with our partners in other programs to make those high-quality seats available To all families across San Antonio because that's really our goal is to make sure that every family in San Antonio With a four year old who wants their child to go to a high quality program has access to that. Okay I just want to talk briefly about this high quality

Black Lives Matter, School Board Indoctrination Claims

Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick characterized Black Lives Matter as a communist organization seeking to take over school boards and indoctrinate students. Concerns are raised that early childhood programs could be used to introduce concepts like "white fragility" and "white privilege," potentially turning children against their parents' values. This is compared to historical precedents of state-led youth socialization.

black lives matter· dan patrick· communism· indoctrination· education

37:44 this high-quality education they're getting at four years. Is it possible that they, whoever Pre K for SA is and I'm sure this is elsewhere want to get the message in white privilege, white fragility. I want to get Black Lives Matter incorporated into the child's mind very early on with a result which is the lieutenant governor of Texas was talking about

38:20 Unfortunately on the Laura Ingraham show, I dislike her even more these days. But it was... Frau! Frau Ingraham It's a great statement by the lieutenant governor Look at this and i think most Americans look at this the same way we know that each Black life matters, but black lives matter as a group their communist organization and what you played earlier They're trying to take over the school boards and take over that the education of the system And not will it just indoctrinate these students to embrace communism. It will turn them against their own Parents because this is the knot then not the way we grew up so people

39:00 People in America need to understand Black Lives Matter is a communist organization, but each black life matters is important to every one of us. What better than to get them even earlier to turn them against their parents? Well that's the theory I mean that is an old communist precept you get the kids...you know this goes way back to the Greek and Roman times where they had all yeah where the kids are just removed from their parents and brainwashed from day one to get them to a point where they have some of these ideas kind of pushed into that early era. It's possible that it would, I don't know if it works or not. There is some evidence that it doesn't and I'm sure there's plenty of evidence that it doesn't. Well, by the way this is ten hours a day of propaganda! If we look at who was going to be teaching these pre-Ks, its going to be the new graduates from schools who have come out

Brene Brown, White Supremacy Narrative in US History

Author and speaker Brene Brown, a frequent collaborator with Oprah Winfrey, asserts that the collective story of the United States is one of white supremacy. This perspective aligns with the New York Times' 1619 Project, which seeks to reframe American history around the date the first enslaved Africans arrived. Critics argue this approach focuses on institutionalized shaming and the rewriting of traditional historical narratives.

brene brown· oprah winfrey· 1619 project· white supremacy· shaming

39:56 with a lot of this thinking, and the thinking is inspired and not just inspired but is reinforced by Robin DiAngelo. Absolutely! And Brene Brown Does anyone remember that name? No, review please. Okay Brene Brown highly respect she's like one of Oprah's mentors she started this corporate understanding of

40:34 privilege and shaming, a lot about shaming. And in fact when I was in therapy years and years ago she was brought up with a...in the context of shaming and I actually listened to some of her stuff but I had never put together all the different pieces. The things that she has been doing predates Robin DiAngelo by gosh maybe even a decade Here actually she did a little conference not too long ago, and I have a few short clips. So this is Brene Brown and again She is Oprah's guru when it comes to these types of issues And our collective story in the United States as a story of white supremacy that is the story That's our story, and we have not owned it so now It owns us. It still owns us and it defines us

41:31 Because we have not had the courage to step in and own the story and say this is the truth about where we come from, what we've done. And this is part of the 1619 project which we only talked about little bit it's big New York Times project which is now also being introduced into school, which says no no America the United States is not 1776. It goes back to 1619 when the first people were enslaved and it really rewrites the history as I learned and you learned it and its now being taught in schools and this is the kind of result

CHAPTER 14 / 51 Discussion

Privilege Exercises, Identity Politics in the Classroom

Classroom "privilege exercises" are criticized for using inaccurate demographic data to categorize students by race and sexual orientation. A rhetorical strategy is proposed to counter accusations of white privilege by questioning the "privilege" of the accuser in assuming an individual's racial identity. This highlights the tension between individual identity and the broad racial categories used in diversity training.

privilege exercise· identity politics· demographics· latin x· diversity training

42:16 In every class I've ever taught, we do a privilege exercise where i say tell me about... Oh right yes hold on stop. You got her? I remember this is what we did a whole show on these privilege exercises Where you they ask you questions This was the Yeah, I didn't think it could get worse than this but... It's been with us all along! And we've kind of laughed at it. But it really got integrated. I got these two short clips here. You have to remember that I'm looking at on a class. 25% African-American, 25% Latino Latina, Latinx, 25% Anglo and about 25% Asian American

43:01 Some people transfer to international students and in the last several years I've had a signer, an American Sign Language translator in my classes. So we're talking about the real thing we're talking about what America looks like Okay no No? That's not the American...no! We don't have 25-25-25 Well at 25 it seemed to be the numbers seem to be wrong but By the way, I will say this though when she says that. This is what America looks like...this is actually a belief and it's mostly held by the Democrats. Hardcore! Yes

43:41 And this is... The Democrats actually think by berating the white voter, and you have to remember let's go back to demographics. 75% of Americans and many of them are Latinx self-identify as white! You start telling a whity that he's an idiot? You're gonna not pick up a lot of votes with that strategy and that's what the Democrats are doing It hit me this morning As I'm prepping in the darkness It hit me. If someone would call me a racist or someone with white privilege... Go ahead, John! Just throw one on me. Do one of those and I'll give you my new line. You don't have to because you have white privilege dude. Excuse me? How dare you use your privilege to assume that I am white?!

44:34 Come on now. Come on now! That will shut people up. Excuse me? Did you just use your privilege to assume that I am white?! Is that what you think, I'm white!? John, you can say it! You can say...You don't have to say I'm not, you could say- You used your privilege to assume that I'm white? Says enough! They will never say, uh, I can tell you're white- Oh really?? Oh really!! You could tell them I'm white You just say that you could pull that exact nut job stuff. That they believe in themselves and they will believe it, I mean is not helping society we're all going to die in the end anyway but at least I'll feel good in the interim. Oh yeah have a kick get a kick out of it but I think the COVID

Pandemic Social Impact, Divorce Rates and Single Parenthood

A report from Eastern Kentucky details the personal devastation caused by the pandemic, including job loss, homelessness, and the breakdown of marriages. There is a perceived cultural push to dismantle the "heteronormative patriarchy," which critics argue romanticizes single motherhood at the expense of the nuclear family. The lockdowns are seen as accelerating these social shifts and increasing domestic friction.

kentucky· homelessness· divorce· patriarchy· nuclear family

45:21 and the Black Lives Matter, and the lockdowns, and this type of... The Robin DiAngelo, what is it? Equality diversity inclusivity training. All of this is coming together and there's some real destruction And I think it's targeting women primarily. This is why we have the Karens and there's, I mean... It's sick what is happening and its focused against white people and men. I'm going to read you an email that came in this morning and I know two other cases that are similar of people I know. One of our producers. It's really horrible what I am reading here

46:09 In the morning, I'm not able to give a donation as to this right now but i wanted to write you before my phone is cut off tomorrow and I no longer have access to the internet. It's from Brian. I wanted to give you and John an eyes on the ground report from Eastern Kentucky about what this virus has done to the poor now he doesn't know exactly everything that's been done but it says since the virus began my life has been turned upside down, My wife filed for divorce and became a lesbian. I got the virus and missed work and lost my job and now as they say i am suffering from homelessness This is happening to many I know, especially the divorce rate surging. I feel somehow the powers that be has found a way to create record-setting single parent homes and get rid of all dads."

46:56 You and John have kept me sane these last few months, so I want to say thank you. I don't know when I will finally find a job and get internet again to be able to listen." Anyway, so Brian first of all thank you for your courage! Not necessarily lesbian but i've heard women hating men and hating their husbands and having visceral reaction to it during this lockdown Well, this lockdown definitely brings men and women together. Part of it is coming from an oversaturation of understanding... you know get rid of the heteronormative patriarchy! It's being said- Yes getting rid of the heteronormative patriarchy has been a goal for years in this and a lot of it is the romanticization and you see even Hollywood

47:47 the romantic is to put the pronunciation of romanticization I gotcha I got you of single moms yes oh she's a single mom single mom everything's okay everything's great you don't need it as single mom single mom single mom and is you and Mo Fax even discuss I mean that the idea is to really have a old-fashioned nuclear family is always a better thing to do in so far as raising kids are concerned, but they romanticized the single mom and this has been going on for years. And part of this pre-K for SA is really targeting single moms because they have to work exactly you can you got two four year old and you know if

48:35 You gotta do something with the brat. So you might as well send him over to these people." Whereas we all know, you really want children to work in the enterprise around the house. You know? You want them either working on the farm... Well that would be ideal! ...or you want them doing stuff for the newsletter I mean you want him doing artwork for the show or whatever your business is and that's why we originally had kids is to be part of the enterprise. Help around the house and do some chores I feel it. This is so big what is taking place and, um...I have heard consistent stories of women becoming in their whatever they call feminist and really just seeing all the issues with men And how can you not? We have joked about it for several years How the worst people on the planet has got to be straight old white men

49:28 Eventually that stuff leaks in and someone's gonna start believing it. And if it's institutionalized the way I'm hearing, it is concerning! And this is not a unique story... This is not a you know.. It's... I don't know.... I am uh... I don't... I don't... I'm at a loss for words as what I am but it comes from way back and now I think that Well, let's go back to if maybe go back and tie this back into Corona because I know you have some other reports. Well Let me get some of these corona report. Let's just bear that in mind bear in mind We're looking at a total political issue we heard it from the World Health Organization From the president himself Ted Ross when not this is not about the about that the virus is

Mask Compliance, Social Pressure in Austin

In Austin, mask-wearing has transitioned from a health recommendation to a matter of social compliance and avoiding legal fines. The act of wearing a mask is described as a "free speech muzzle" where individuals comply primarily to avoid public confrontation or being shamed by the crowd. This behavior is linked to broader trends in social justice and identity-based conformity.

austin· mask compliance· social pressure· free speech· muzzles

50:20 This is about leadership, doing everything together. Masks is the first thing. The whole world will have to wear a mask now in the Netherlands they're starting to crop up more mandatory masking same in Belgium which is where the European Union government is so it's gonna spread from there that is and it's not about the medical part you can put a sock in your face and it's okay they say that you can make it out of cloth good here's my sock I tie around my...it's great So it's not about a medical issue, it is about compliance. I never thought it would be...I even laughed at people who said that and now and now I can't. Well you know you have mixed responses You didn't necessarily laugh at people who say that. You're the first one to say there was a muzzle!

51:09 Yeah, a free speech muzzle. But now I'm seeing that everyone just does it to not either... well now in Austin to get ticketed, to not have other people point at you and yell so you're just kind of complying with the crowd hello? Does that sound familiar to the entire past years that we've had with privilege and whiteness? It's all part of the same thing! I had a clip of somebody yelling at somebody. I don't know if it's on here, if I actually kept it... What? I can't believe you found a- You had a clip of someone yelling at someone?! No!

Brazil COVID-19 Update, Jair Bolsonaro Positive Test

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro tested positive for COVID-19 after months of downplaying the virus and ignoring social distancing protocols. Bolsonaro continues to promote the use of hydroxychloroquine despite opposition from the World Health Organization. Critics view his infection as proof of recklessness, while supporters watch to see if he emerges unscathed to validate his stance on the virus's severity.

brazil· jair bolsonaro· hydroxychloroquine· social distancing· globalism

51:57 going with them. This is the update in Brazil, we know that Bolsonaro's a horrible right-winger populist he's got to go we need a guy that wants to you know become a globalist so I've gotta get rid of him by condemning him but let's play the Brazil report. So meanwhile in Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro has been downplaying the threat from COVID 19 from the beginning And yet the virus has hit the country very hard and this week Bolsonaro himself tested positive. So Philip, what's been the reaction to that development? Well it wasn't really a surprise as you mentioned I mean he's made a point of flamboyantly ignoring social distancing not only that actually subverting it

52:37 Even when he went live on TV this week to confirm that he had tested positive, he took his mask off. His opponents see the fact that is now infected as proof of that he's reckless and irresponsible a danger to people's lives and entirely incapable handling this crisis but there's also some speculation that Bolsonaro might try to turn this to his advantage if it turns out that he only has light symptoms and he emerges relatively unscathed, he could use himself as an example. What's been saying all along is true that regardless of the fact that COVID-19 has killed more than 70 thousand Brazilians so far this virus really isn't all that serious most people be fine especially if they're like him fit and healthy

53:22 and especially if they take hydroxychloroquine, a drug that he ardently believes in even though most medical experts not to mention the World Health Organization do not. Oh brother! Well watch he'll walk through a hospital like our president and he'll wear a cool-ass mask in the hospital which is eventually yeah which is just to say you know I get it in a medical space whatever but... If he catches it A hydroxychloroquine dig deo which is unawful. But okay, let's go back to NPR and listen to their Sweden rundown which has got a little gotcha in here statistically which interests me. Early on Sweden took an approach to this pandemic that was just different from that of most similarly situated countries so social distancing yes but no shutdown of the economy hoping that as part of the process the country would achieve some sort of herd immunity how did that turn out?

Sweden COVID-19 Strategy, NPR Statistical Analysis

NPR reports on Sweden's decision to avoid a mandatory lockdown, noting a death rate of 54 per 100,000 people. While this is higher than neighboring Nordic countries, it remains lower than several European nations that implemented strict lockdowns, such as the UK and Belgium. Approximately 50% of Swedish deaths occurred in care homes, leading to a debate over the efficacy of their voluntary social distancing model.

sweden· npr· death rate· herd immunity· nursing homes

54:24 Yeah, there's no getting away from the fact that Sweden ended up with a death rate several times higher than its Nordic neighbors. Looking at the latest figures from John Hopkins University 54 deaths per 100,000 people – that is ahead of the US where it is 40 deaths per 100,000 people. But if you compare to other European countries like UK, Italy, Spain and Belgium who all had strict lockdown their figure are worse I think where Sweden really failed was in its strategy to protect the elderly, the most vulnerable. 50% of deaths have taken place in care homes and in terms of the... Wait a minute! We're still talking about 0.005 percent or zero five? Is it half a percent or zero zero five? Well if you're gonna go with 64 over 100 thousand that would be what .6 I think

55:20 I hate statistics. Somebody pull out a calculator in the chat room and give us this number. Yeah, the trolls are going to give it to us 100,000 64 per hundred thousand. I want to get it right. ...immunity... Stop! You might say she stopped the clip. Okay stop the clip Let's do a couple of things we should note One first of all they downplayed the fact that Sweden is lower than the rest of the Europeans that had the extreme lockdowns and that would include Italy with those ridiculously high numbers. But we can also assume that Italians had their first great, because they were connected to Wuhan directly because of the garment industry in Northern Italy and so they were just having the Chinese come straight over and infecting everybody with the first iteration of the virus which is the strongest version

56:08 And that was the one that ended up maybe in New York, it was just killing people left and right. It has deteriorated over time which people don't want to discuss because nobody wants to admit that this is a lab-created animal. Here it is! So you have the downplay of the fact that Sweden actually did better than everybody else and then secondly if you take that 50% by not You know, they said half of these deaths is 64. Half of them are from the old folks homes which means they could be misdiagnosed as a million things that can go wrong there so their real number is 32 yes it's half of this wait for it or wait for it so that is 0 point zero three two percent so that is eight 33 100

57:02 a percent yeah that would be that would be like the regular flu maybe even a little lower lower than the h1n1 which is another topic of conversation because apparently during the Biden Obama administration they actually ordered them to stop testing This is a huge scandal that's not coming out in the mainstream media. Tell me you have a clip now, you don't have a clip of course? No because nobody nobody's talking about it just as great writing and find a lot of documentation You can find there was a report that was done on CBS by Cheryl Atkinson in 2009 if anyone can find this clip It'd be a miracle I have not been able to find it Cheryl Atkinson talking about it now But she's not talking about it on the air

57:53 In 2009, they were asking the question. She was asking the hard question why are we stopping testing and we're stopping reporting on H1N1 when the death rates were going up to same way they were here? Tina was They stopped, literally they stopped testing. Tina was telling me... hold on we got some kind of weird lag on the line. Tina was showing me some article that said even though Sweden has not had a single death in the past two days they're still the worst people on earth I'm paraphrasing the headline but there's a concerted effort against

58:37 Sweden to make sure everyone thinks that they did it wrong despite it looking to me like they did okay. I think they did better than okay! Yeah I mean it was all volunteers, the masks were there they weren't there at the pens. There was some social distance this we can do this stuff but they didn't shut down the whole economy like maniacs! Well they did shutdown... well not like maniacs No they were all volunteer shutdowns It wasn't like an edict Yeah there was a lot of volunteer stuff and mobility A lot of people worked from home And their set up for that And we are too now and that's if that was part of the The objective do it. So we play this clip this the Sweden rundown continue on that Yeah, play the rest of us thousand people If you compare it to other European countries like the UK Italy Spain and Belgium who all had strict lockdowns Their figures are worse I think where Sweden really failed wasn't its strategy to protect the Stop

Swedish Coronavirus Commission, Media Criticism of Nordic Model

The Swedish government has launched a commission to investigate its handling of the pandemic following international criticism. Media outlets like NPR characterize the Swedish approach as a failure despite the country having lower mortality rates than some lockdown nations. Scientists remain uncertain about the level of antibodies in the population and the long-term viability of the herd immunity strategy.

sweden· coronavirus commission· npr· antibodies· public health

59:39 How do you say that what she just said is unbelievably ludicrous? Yeah, they failed. How did they fail when their numbers are lower than the number she just cited? She just cited the numbers and what they did, but somehow that was a failure on Sweden's part. Can you explain this NPR logic to me? Yes I can! They are getting ready for the new pre-K for SA children who will ingest this information and believe

1:00:15 Sadly, exactly what Orwell said. Pre-K for SHIT! Yes is no, good is bad black as white. The world is upside down I would like you to back it up and play that segment one more time Yeah...I think that's necessary here we go Getting away from the fact Sweden ended up with a death rate several times higher than its Nordic neighbors Several times higher is a mathematical descriptor That means a multiplication several times. So two times, three times, several... What is several? Is several three or a couple would be 2 so can we say 3 what do you think what do you feel 4 can we just call it four that's not true thousand but it's not true No

1:01:09 And she's talking about rates. I'm going to play the whole thing again, let's listen to this. This is some crazy mind control! Early on Sweden took an approach to this pandemic that was just different from that of most similarly situated countries so social distancing yes but no shutdown of the economy hoping that as part of the process the country would achieve some sort of herd immunity how did that turn out? Yeah, there's no getting away from the fact that Sweden ended up with a death rate several times higher than its Nordic neighbors. Death rate John? Not number of deaths, death rate! Looking at the latest figures from John Hopkins University 54 deaths per 100 thousand people That is ahead of the US where it is 40 deaths per 100 thousand people

1:01:59 But if you compare it to other European countries like the UK, Italy Spain and Belgium who all had strict lockdowns their figures are worse. I think where Sweden really failed was in its strategy to protect the elderly, the most vulnerable 50% of deaths have taken place in care homes and in terms of... Every country had that happen. We had that happen, oh my goodness. It wasn't the overall goal but it was something scientists predicted would happen and we aren't seeing very high levels of antibodies in the population here and were also seeing more science and research suggesting its unclear what will happen in the future even for those who do have antibodies. Science and research? We're seeing more science and research that says its unclear what will see in the future What kind of science and research results is that

1:02:48 This is the worst world's worst report. This is NPR, I'm so glad you're doing this. Research suggesting that it's unclear what will happen in the future even for those who do have antibodies So are Swedish leaders acknowledging that they didn't get their strategy quite right? Swedish leaders have admitted that things went wrong in terms of the death toll, specifically in elderly care homes. But I think what's important to point out here is that it's the public authorities, the scientists employed by the state they've really been at the forefront of this crisis and there wasn't a huge amount of political debate at the beginning but as the death toll has turned out to be a lot higher than predicted, as debates have continued globally about why Sweden has been doing things

1:03:34 differently. There's started to be a lot more concern and criticism, and the Swedish government has launched a coronavirus commission to look into how things were dealt with at a local regional national level. Oh man there's just too much money for this stuff Too much. The commissions are coming and going, Biden's pushing for commissions, commissions, commissions... Let's do the one more this is a two-parter this is a COVID rundown and this I wrote down switcheroo so there's some Some switcheroo going on here with the CBS report. The coronavirus is taking a heavy toll on the United States, many areas are seeing a dramatic new spike in cases and officials are taking steps to help curb the spread in Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards ordered a statewide mask mandate on Saturday it's set to go into effect on Monday bars will also now be restricted to takeout orders only and

1:04:32 And in Atlanta, Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms ordered the city to roll back its reopening plan to phase one after Georgia reported a single day record for new infections on Friday. Under that phase, Atlanta residents will be required to stay home except for essential trips and wear face masks in public. Across the country more than 3.1 million cases have been recorded and there have been more than 134 thousand deaths Michael George has the latest details. Okay, now this you have to listen to the way this was presented

CHAPTER 20 / 51 Discussion

US Regional COVID-19 Surges, Mask Mandates and Contact Tracing

Louisiana and Atlanta have implemented new restrictions, including mask mandates and rollbacks of reopening phases, in response to rising infection numbers. In South Carolina and Tennessee, restaurants are being used for contact tracing, with some establishments requiring patrons to provide names and phone numbers. These measures are framed as public obligations to slow the spread among younger populations.

1:03:34 differently. There's started to be a lot more concern and criticism, and the Swedish government has launched a coronavirus commission to look into how things were dealt with at a local regional national level. Oh man there's just too much money for this stuff Too much. The commissions are coming and going, Biden's pushing for commissions, commissions, commissions... Let's do the one more this is a two-parter this is a COVID rundown and this I wrote down switcheroo so there's some Some switcheroo going on here with the CBS report.

Okay, now this you have to listen to the way this was presented

1:05:08 This was presented as though they hooked up the new count, the three million cases and then dropped in because they're talking about this surge and that next batch and all the rest. And then they drop into overall 134 thousand dead number at the end so it's somehow connected. Yeah like CO2 and climate change baby So I'm listening to this going and they're just throwing these numbers out you and they've done they started all of them are doing is I notice Nari Sreenivasan was doing this and All these guys on PBS are doing this. They're doing now there instead of doing the daily death They're doing the seven-day average They come up with all these mathematical models that could make the number sound worse than they are yeah, oh

1:05:59 Yeah, and it's like a concerted effort. It's like how much they can't be this is not a good thing for the country to think they're helping their cause down the road I don't get it listen in part two of that clip bars restaurants and The Young made their way into the crosshairs of governors of southern states where the virus is surging This executive order will prohibit the sale of alcohol alcoholic beverages at all South Carolina restaurants and bars after 11 p.m." South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster threatened to strip liquor licenses from violating proprietors At a Kentucky test site, bartender Michael Whitler knows what can happen after 11pm. Once it gets too late at night it's just unbelievable It's been pretty nuts

1:06:45 enough to make you want to get it tested. In Tennessee, Shelby County restaurants require customers to fork over their contact information before they'll be seated. Infectious disease doctor Manoj Jain is on the local task force that mandated the rule I think it's really important to have people's names and phone numbers because if there was someone who was positive in that restaurant at the same time, then the owners can tell everyone else. Chef and owner Michael Patrick will hang on to the information and seating charts for the better part of a month to help trace patrons who test positive. I would hate for God forbid someone to get sick here but i would feel like it was a public obligation to let people know who ate here For some crowded restaurants and bars are seen as a toxic cocktail okay

CHAPTER 21 / 51 Discussion

Pandemic Normalization, Vaccine Expectations in Media

Conversations with media industry veterans suggest a widespread belief that life cannot return to normal until a vaccine is available. This "programming" is seen as a way to maintain a state of abnormality through the November election. The industry's focus on monetization, such as through Patreon or traditional advertising, continues despite the shifting social landscape.

vaccine· patreon· westwood one· media programming· advertising

1:07:33 As I'm sitting here listening to this, and please tell me about the switcheroo. And then just want to give you my feeling what we're seeing here? No the switcheroo was in the previous clip that was... Oh okay this is your switcheroo too. Adding these numbers as though it's part of the surge And I realized this morning, I got an email from a guy who I used to syndicate my radio show with and he's big in the radio syndication Westwood One all this stuff. And he's doing podcasts and you already sold a podcast advertising company doesn't matter so we're going back and forth and i'm telling him not interested I said no we're not doing Patreon should look into what I've been doing for the past 15 years whatever fine and I said I'll see you next time in New York He replies to me

1:08:20 Yes, next time in New York or if I'm in Austin of course once we have the vaccine. You and I and everybody the No Agenda Nation We know that...we're not that concerned This is a reality check. I believe people outside of our little bubble Have this firmly in their heads It's not over until we have a vaccine it's not over until you have a vaccine everything will be abnormal until we have a vaccine. You can ask people, they will say it I think the programming is very close to complete Who knows? I guess phase three Act 3 starts but this is what this is all about We have to take it through November! We have to get rid of Trump But everyone's using it The whole world is coming to this Oh yeah, I don't have any doubt about it

1:09:18 What were you talking to this guy about? He wanted us to get Patreon. What is he talking about? No, he was just trying to figure... He wants to take it's oh hey Adam how are you doing that podcast I should sell ads for it That's not the point. Oh yes an old-time radio guy. He's a legend in advertising Knows all the NPR scams. I learned a lot from him him. But I bet you did, but let's get back to this. Okay? So the vaccine yes that's exactly what everyone is thinking when the vaccine comes up here's what I always like to say What do you what's the name of this is SARS COVID two Yeah Is there actual name of this virus The virus Yep There used to be another one if I don't know it was about 10 little more than 10 years ago It was before we started doing our show SARS Cove One

CHAPTER 22 / 51 Discussion

China COVID-19 Reporting, Imported Cases Narrative

China reports very few new COVID-19 cases, often attributing them to travelers entering from foreign countries. This narrative is viewed as a "switcheroo" intended to shift blame away from the original outbreak in Wuhan. The Chinese model of city-wide lockdowns set the global template for pandemic response, which is now being used politically in the United States.

china· wuhan· imported cases· propaganda· lockdown template

1:10:11 Yes, also a man-made lab based thing that came out and then disappeared after a while What why wasn't there ever a vaccine for that? And why is it still around if you want to go down the vaccines I'm ready for it. Oh no, I don't want to go down to that question No we have two because this this is exactly This is where we're headed with all this well because that's just a pretty rhetorical question Let me get them. I think I have one more okay. This is a This is a funny clip. This is Covis, it says the two dubious cases in China. What is the point of this story? I want to ask you this local stories been played all over the country. Meanwhile, in China officials reported 2 new COVID-19 cases yesterday both were imported from foreign countries

1:11:00 The National Health Commission says that brings the total existing cases in China to 330. No, this is the switcheroo! In the background of all this obviously we have the first country that took this unprecedented move of a shutdown of a city of 11 million they set the tone they set the template their media partners set the entire strategy so this part of it is Oh, by the way you're giving it to us. Boo! You're bad." See? They are flipping it around. They are flipping this around. This is also about Trump. Okay I want to talk about the vaccine because the team that's in place is fascinating

CHAPTER 23 / 51 Discussion

CDC Director Robert Redfield, School Reopening Guidance

CDC Director Robert Redfield defended the agency's school reopening guidance during an interview with Anderson Cooper, denying that the CDC is weakening standards under pressure from President Trump. Redfield clarified that the CDC never recommended closing schools and is now providing "tools" rather than new "guidance." The discussion highlights the tension between federal health recommendations and political pressure to resume in-person education.

robert redfield· cdc· anderson cooper· school reopening· alex azar

1:11:44 And I've been talking to a number of producers who have a lot of insight into the Catholic Church, into the Vatican, into what the Pope is doing or not doing. Is it really the pope if Pope Benedict only resigned his ministry and not his office? That's just a cool conspiracy theory I'm launching right here. You have to speak Latin in order to understand that one but Redfield, the CDC director Another Jesuit, interestingly enough. Appointed by Alexander Azar the Health and Human Services Secretary who also has some I think orthodox...I have it in the show notes is some kind of Orthodox Christian version of Catholicism So they're all kind of involved and they've all known each other for a long time And Alexander Azar is a guy to- I mean that's a huge pharma guy

1:12:42 He was running Pharma in 2009. I mean, the guy is revolving door shill! So let's listen to Redfield now this is him on Pooper with Sanjay Gupta and Pooper is trying to trick him and nail him down, like why are you caving in to President Trump to help open up the schools early? Why are you changing your guidance?" But what Pooper like all other completely under-informed and over socialized people has been told or not been told is that CDC never recommended shutting down schools at all. There's no recommendation for shutting down schools. Never has been

1:13:23 So the only thing that is coming out now is, well since you shut down here's some strategies which are called guidance that you can use to get back to some normalcy. But Pooper is trying to nail the CDC director on on some horrible fallacy that he's committed by kowtowing to President Trump. Yesterday the president tweeted saying, I disagree with CDC-Gov on their very tough and expensive guidelines for opening schools while they want them open they're asking schools to do very impractical things i'll be meeting with them then shortly after the vice president announced with you standing by his side he said this The president said today we just don't want the guidance to be too tough

1:14:04 That's the reason why next week, CDC is going to be issuing a new set of tools. And then our Kaitlin Collins then asked you at that same press conference if you're changing the guidance because the president said he doesn't like it? You didn't answer the question so I just want to give you another opportunity cause it does sound like CDC is caving to the President's demands to essentially weaken guidelines and make them less tough I know a lot of thought was put into those guidelines. Now all of the sudden you're issuing new ones? Thank You Anderson first, and I want to really stress that the purpose of the CDC guidelines are to provide a variety of different strategies for schools to use To help facilitate the reopening of schools. You're saying you're not putting out new guidelines But I mean the vice president just said it all right there he said

1:14:49 We don't want them to be too tough. So there you're gonna be releasing new tools I know you said you had already planned this it sure seems like a coincidence now that these are going to show up next week Especially because usually these things take so much time to go through. I don't understand Either recommendations are based on science or they're not. Why come out with new ones? These guidelines were worked over for a long time. Yeah, they're not new guidelines that we're coming out with Anderson We've started the guidance for K through 12 back in February and higher learning back in March We continue to update them The guidance that we put out

1:15:28 recently for K-12 and higher learning is our guidance. We continue to expand that with different tools like I was trying to complete, we have a tool to help schools understand how to test for symptoms, we have the tool coming out on how to use face masks in the school setting, we have a tool coming out for parents to understand a checklist of understanding whether their child should come out to school so The vice president was referring to the additional tools that we have, that we're planning out. But there's not a change in our guidance." So here's the background on this Redfield guy who was pretty good there he and you remember Burks of course Dr Deborah Burkes who I used to simp so hard for her she was a colonel in the army

CHAPTER 24 / 51 Discussion

Operation Warp Speed, HIV Vaccine Research Parallels

The leadership of Operation Warp Speed, including Dr. Robert Redfield and Dr. Deborah Birx, has a history of working together on HIV vaccine trials in the military. Past controversies involving the GP 160 HIV vaccine and alleged data manipulation are being revisited as the team fast-tracks a COVID-19 vaccine. Dr. Francis Collins of the NIH reassures Congress that safety standards will not be compromised despite the unprecedented speed of development.

operation warp speed· deborah birx· hiv vaccine· francis collins· fda

1:16:19 Redfield was also a ranking officer. They together ran the AIDS trials, the HIV-AIDS trials which in the armed services it was I mean it was horrific they had PCR tests the same we have now that had a high rate of false positive and about half as high rate of false negatives and then people were quarantined on base in what people called the HIV hotel the vaccine was tested on them, which I think was GP 160. Long story short all of its in the show notes they were both brought before a commission who found that they had fudged the numbers in order to accelerate the development of this GP 160 HIV AIDS vaccine but nothing was done

1:17:10 with that information. It's called the Lurie versus Department of Army 970, so it is in the show notes if you want to look at it So these people have been doing this with the AIDS vaccine they're using the same platform In fact here's a Our new friend Dr. Francis Collins updating the Senate on the vaccine development, just a couple of interesting background points. Thursday scientists overseeing development of coronavirus vaccines assured lawmakers help is on the way we are all optimistic that the goal that we have set to have a vaccine that works and is safe by the end of 2020 will be met. Dr. Francis Collins director for National Institutes of Health says on

1:17:52 Operation Warp Speed is testing and manufacturing promising vaccines. All being conducted side by side, but Missouri Republican Senator Roy Blunt raised concerns about speed versus safety. Do you have any concerns that on the vaccine side that FDA is not going through every safety step. No compromise at all on the safety and the efficacy standards. Illinois Democratic Senator Dick Durbin pointed to a defective 1955 polio vaccine that sickened tens of thousands of children with the disease and kill 10. Can you reflect on that for a moment? That was a terrible tragedy, I think I could reassure you and the American people that that strategy of trying to administer a killed vaccine is not currently being pursued. Dr. Cullen says thanks to billions in federal dollars his team is making great progress but Washington Democratic Senator Patty Murray worries drug companies might get greedy at the expense of the public

CHAPTER 25 / 51 Discussion

Bill Gates, HIV and COVID-19 Vaccine Platforms

Bill Gates suggests that the diagnostic and vaccine platforms developed for COVID-19 will eventually be used to combat HIV. Some researchers have noted that the COVID-19 virus structure appears to be a chimera that could serve as a vehicle for HIV-related genetic material. This has led to theories that the current pandemic response is being used to advance long-standing, unsuccessful efforts to create an HIV vaccine.

bill gates· hiv· covid-19· vaccine platform· sub-saharan africa

1:18:50 I'm very concerned that pharmaceutical companies have dictated the terms. The goal is to ensure the vaccine access for all Americans who... CDC director Dr Robert Redfield says he's cautiously optimistic the vaccine will be ready by April of next year So that report, that editing was in the actual TV report. They're taking two-word sentences from people to try and stitch together whatever story they want to portray but something is up with HIV The team... it's the same team and Bill Gates is giving away something in... They just had a HIV summit 2020 which I didn't know about

1:19:31 And he's now also mixing in HIV and COVID. The pandemic is disrupting the supply chains, and therefore slowing our progress in the fight against all other diseases including AIDS Both the UN and the Global Fund have released projections showing that these disruptions could prevent hundreds of thousands of people from getting the treatments they need, and that's just in Sub-Saharan Africa. So we have our work cut out for us but I remain optimistic. I remain optimistic that we will defeat COVID 19 and we will continue to make strides against AIDS and other health crises

1:20:12 I believe that for several reasons. First is science in the global race to detect, treat and vaccinate against COVID-19 researchers are making great advances faster better diagnostic tools are being developed to help identify those infected also we're making great progress on vaccines These platforms won't just be useful against this particular virus. They will also help us specifically for HIV. Okay, I think that they're setting up a whole other round of HIV vaccine and they look at this as a whole new money push

1:20:54 Which, of course we haven't... you know this has been 30 years there's been no HIV AIDS vaccine. No it's not easy to do and there is a number of reasons This goes takes us right back to the very beginning at this whole ridiculous fiasco where the Nobel Prize winning physician in France looked at the coding and says this was an attempt to make an HIV vaccine. Yes, there you go! Via the COVID structure platform, the COVID platform it was a chimera. Holy crap this is it they're going to say we just that if have the vaccine it doesn't fix COVID but we've cured AIDS well

1:21:40 I don't know. Very good one at the moment. Oh gosh, wow you're right! I'm so happy you remembered that whatever that good memory that's exactly it now what we get punished with all this data glut to that you have to really concentrate and go back, so that's right. This had all the HIV penetration bits or the spiky proteins or whatever it was. Yeah, the idea was to put an H-I-V... is take a COVID structure which has got the spikes that can penetrate and then put some dead HIV in there and get into the system and make it kind of vehicle for as

1:22:22 kind of a roundabout vaccine. These are all experimental ideas, which includes the DNA experiment that they're gonna try to pull off against a bunch of dummies like your friend who's gonna be more than willing to stand in line and get a shot of this COVID vaccine even though again I ask the question will SARS-CoV2 even be in existence as such? Unless they reintroduce it which I don't think they will because I think that was I'm still sticking to this story That the Chinese destroyed all the original versions so they can't reintroduce their early The deadly version that got loose right? That was the L strain or whatever. It was we did our strain it was the original Let's just say OG OG Corona OG the og corona and it comes out kills everybody starts to deteriorate back into a cold virus

CHAPTER 26 / 51 Discussion

Vatican Influence, Dr. Francis Collins and Global Cahoots

Dr. Francis Collins is a member of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, a Vatican think tank, raising questions about the intersection of religious institutions and global health policy. There are claims of financial ties between China and the Vatican, with the current Pope allegedly blessing state-sanctioned bishops in China. This perceived alignment is viewed by some as a move to deconstruct traditional church influence.

vatican· francis collins· pontifical academy of sciences· china· catholic church

1:23:17 Which is pretty much what it is now if you look at these death charts, there's nobody You know say people would have it in there but they're not dying like they used to OK, so let me tie it all together now. So we have the whole AIDS team makes sense because they're justifying all the money and future funds because we have this platform — and by the way, the platform is great! I mean, we know how to do this but...I won't even play the rest of clip but Gates continues to say we got to make sure we roll it out across the platform to Africa and South America. So they're setting all that up In the meantime, we need to get really get everybody on board because we have this strong anti-vax issue. And let's just start with the Catholic Church I just learned that our friend NIH director Dr. Collins is on the

1:24:13 on the permanent member lifetime board, there's only 80 people Pontifical Academy of Sciences which is pretty much the Vatican think tank I thought he was an evangelical Christian Yeah he is or that's what he claims he is So he's a Catholic? Well yeah he's on the Pontifical Academy. That's what he claims He's a Catholic. Yes, that's what he claims. That would be technically charismatic as opposed to evangelical but if he calls himself an evangelical there is something up with this guy. There is a lot of stuff that doesn't make any sense which I said the last time

1:24:52 And you've pointed out when he didn't say, you know God bless America or whatever. I think this is part of this it's about destroying the Catholic Church it's going on everywhere these guys are in cahoots with the Vatican and that and it's not the Pope that is running the show It's a it's the Secretary of or the head of Secretary of State for the for the Vatican says other guy So many of these guys So he's kind of running the show, and then we've got China paying two billion dollars a year to the Vatican for something. And then this current Pope essentially blesses some of these phony cardinals in China who have this kind of Catholicism but everything else is underground. We've got churches burning everywhere I mean there's something going on here!

CHAPTER 27 / 51 Discussion

PPP Loans, Catholic Church Financial Criticism

The Associated Press published a report criticizing the Roman Catholic Church for receiving $1.4 billion in taxpayer-backed coronavirus aid through the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). The report highlights that some of this money went to dioceses that have paid large settlements for clergy sexual abuse. This is framed as a "hit piece" designed to shame the institution during a period of civil unrest and church burnings.

1:25:45 Something something's weird and yeah Collins. I think is a big part of it this Dan Brown Big player in the pro-choice probe life battle so they got it. Yeah, that's There's a whole bunch of reasons. You have to go and so you emphasize all the negative things about that, about the institution. Yeah like this listen to this, listen to this. Try destroy it. Listen to this Associated Press uh this is you know one of those shaming articles about who got government money for the PPP? Oh yes exactly Mimi was ranting about this! So this one there's a number of articles this one is

1:26:28 And I think this is a misnomer. The US Roman Catholic Church, which i don't think exists... There's a roman catholic church but there's no us roman catholic church used the special and unprecedented exemption from federal rules to amass at least 1.4 billion in taxpayer-backed coronavirus aid with many millions going to diocese that have paid huge settlements or sought bankruptcy protection because of clergy sexual abuse cover ups That's the opening of the article Boom shakalaka. Yeah, it's a hit piece! It's a great piece. That was fantastic Wow

1:27:07 Yeah, something's up. I think you spotted something there. I didn't notice it myself because when Mimi is ranting about this... It's not a deconstruction thing on the show but now that you mention it fits right into the show And what was burned in Washington DC during the Black Lives Matter? Church! Right, a little church California Mission founded by your boy Junpero Serra What's his name Well, I don't know if this was a Uniparo-Sara Church but yes. A recent mission down in Southern California burnt... Yeah It was under renovation just like the Notre Dame Another example Uh huh Probably a better example Mysteriously catches on fire and is taken out of service And meanwhile the guys running the show with the vaccines ready to stick the needle in your arm are all in on it With the Chinese! What? Good time for a podcast like this one

1:28:04 Boy, I'll tell you. No kidding! If i didn't have you to talk too, I'd be going nuts right now with this thinking. I think I need some...I need a pill or something. This is not good. I need some Vaxeline Oh my goodness. Yeah, that's good stuff! How about this? We'll take a breather right here I'll thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you the man who put the C in so many things we've discussed John C Dvorak!

1:28:46 Hang out and let me see I can do a little quick troll count even though. I'm on location Wow 1738 so that's pretty good. It's not our typical we've been doing a little higher on Sunday We'd been doing closer 1900, but they're there and they're trolling and they're doing a great job of it. We love them Kind of, I guess. And you can join them at noagendastream.com when you're in there ask for an invite. You can ask Doug for an invite to noagentosocial.com which is our federated social network with very high signals to noise ratio and let's say in the morning to the artist who brought us the artwork for episode 1258 we titled that appropriately The Dummy Placebo this was Dan McCall and oh yeah he had the Cleveland Unicorns football helmet which I think were both kind of good with

1:29:46 Yeah, no what happened was we were having trouble finding the right art And this is the last piece that came in. Yeah, and he it was a nice... It was other people who tried to do this because it caught on the idea of a team named The Unicorns but he actually put it on a helmet made look like a real team yeah every time I look at it say maybe there isn't a lot of people responded Maybe its their team? I mean I'm almost convinced Could be so um that was good. It's a nice piece, and it was very well done And he had the little subtleties like the little thing the strap right over part of the logo cover Yeah, that was well done Extremely professional although I still maintain for some reason I feel like the helmet should have been facing to the right I don't know why yeah, I don't know why you Greats me this great thought some reason. I don't know what it is something weird

1:30:45 It's me. Thank you, Dan McCall and thank you to all the artists because a lot of people are submitting, a lot of people doing some outstanding work it's not a judgment we love you We have to pick something that will behoove the show and also we had the title we didn't want to...we try not to have the title the artwork be the same, which would have been dummy placebo. But this is part of how it works! It's our great value for value network where you get out of what you put into it and a lot of people are helping produce this show as well as our financial producers bringing in the executive producers and associate executive producers for $1259. We have a couple. Yes we do. When you say a couple, we have two executive producers. This is a little lower than what we've been getting

Executive Producer Donations, Birthdays and Karma Requests

The show acknowledges significant financial contributions from Executive Producers, including Sir Paul and Jamie Stinson. These segments include personal notes, birthday shout-outs for family members, and requests for "Jobs Karma" or "De-douching." The hosts use various jingles and sound effects to fulfill these listener requests, maintaining the interactive nature of the production.

Listener Feedback, Jingle Sequences and Spam Commercials

Listeners from New Jersey and other regions submit detailed jingle requests and commentary on current events, including references to "Professor Ted" (Ted Kaczynski) and his writings on over-socialization.

The donation segment continues with Associate Executive Producers, including a researcher in academia who uses the show to maintain sanity amidst "enlarged amygdala" colleagues. Plugs are given for listener-run podcasts like "The Midas Pod" and "Fun Fact Friday." The hosts also address long-standing questions about the Dvorak keyboard and its relation to co-host John C.

School Board Advisory Council, White Privilege Apology

A recording from a New York school advisory council meeting depicts a heated exchange where a member apologizes for her "white privilege" after a disagreement with a Latino vice president. The member acknowledges "40 plus years of white supremacy" that she needs to undo. This interaction is presented as an example of the "work" required by modern social justice ideologies within educational institutions.

school board· advisory council· white privilege· apology· social justice

1:57:29 I cannot wait to see what we'll learn next on the show. Our formula is this, we go out and hit people in the mouth. Shut up Sleaze! On the last show I teased the school board dust up. Yeah, yeah this was the and speaking of white privilege and fragility and all that this was a... So I have a few clips just kind of snippets of the kinds of things that were going on at this meeting including i'm gonna start with

1:58:16 Sorry, I mean I could go with that got four clips and any one of them will work it. I do have one that has to be the last which is the short little bit yet when at the end but you'll get it You get the point your start hearing a coat. I'm getting code words out of this This is all about this book That apparently everyone has to now read or you're not doing so you're not doing what you supposed to do Yeah, this is the wife's fragility book but set this up who are these people? Who are these these people are on a a school. It's not it's not the school board is an advisory council that puts together some curriculum and this is a paid gig or they just volunteers basically, or there was a volunteer organization I found out later. Okay but it has elected head person in their all bickering with each other constantly apparently and you can really see the lines between social justice warriors and normal people let's play start with

1:59:12 EDSU doing the work. I've done my own work and some of you have done, I'd like to speak. Um, I have a lot to say but I'll keep it short. This just illustrates to me that- Okay stop that clip! Let's bring that clip in later. I want to get some people yelling. Let's do the EDU council bickering apologize... wait wait Okay, let's start with this one. Okay? They started yelling at each other there's a Latino the vice president Comes in and he's really or this guy by the way walked out on the meeting even though it was his own meeting This guy's a Latin X VP

1:59:57 And he goes after and he's really mad because they've been yelling at each other. Let's go with this EDU meeting Latino VP goes after social justice warrior Okay, nonsense that doesn't make a child learn That doesn't teach a poor kid anything Okay So miss bro she before you start making accusations about me about my one vote You ought to get to know me you up to sit down and have lunch with me. Oh, yes, you don't know very many Latino people and you don't have lunch with them. Perhaps you don't know very many poor blacks to understand so before you make these conclusions and draw these assumptions... What assumptions had she made about him?

2:00:41 This part of it was not on the original clips. No! She had demeaned him in an accidental way and she was just going off on everybody that we're talking about this one woman who's gonna come in after he berates her, and you have to imagine her she's kind of a sizable young woman with big breasts and she's one of these types that she has a lavalier that she's holding in front of her mouth. You've seen this? So wrong! Idiots with lavaliers they think is a stand mic or something I know, I think it's actually one of those phone like for a mobile phone an older version of a mobile phone where you have kind of a control unit and the microphone

2:01:26 That's part of the wire and she's plugged that into her computer apparently so she's yelling in She's holding that thing over to her mouth like a like an idiot. Yeah, okay finish You ought to get to know me. And I'd like to get to know you, and she knows but for some reason I don't deserve a say." That's all I have to say and I agree and support Maude Maron and what she is doing with the NYSEP grant and integration effort. I'm sure we can get there if you just let her work and if you in good faith reach out to her

2:02:08 don't happen to disagree with your hollow and shallow diversity of pronouncements. Thank you very much. So, Edward actually Eric can I please jump in? And... I'd like to give other council members a chance to speak before we end. No no no! I want to say something because I was called out by name multiple times. That's fine Robin, if you didn't know ahead of me. You have had enough! Edward, I want to apologize to you. Edward are you going to give me a space to apologize? And I want to acknowledge that calling out the one vote was an example of white privilege and it was an example of trying to silence the legitimacy on your space on this council. That was a mistake! And I am apologizing

2:02:57 Edward, I'm apologizing and you don't have to accept my apology. And there's work... Everyone has work to do. Work to do yes! I have 40 plus years of white supremacy that I need to undo and that was unfair of me to make that point. And i don't want to silence your voice. Your voice has merit, Edward. before this council started and I would talk to you again. And I'm sorry that, and I acknowledge that my words hurt you." So this is I think around page 26 of

Over-socialization, The Unabomber Manifesto and "Doing the Work"

The concept of "doing the work" in anti-racism training is linked to the "over-socialization" described in Ted Kaczynski's manifesto, *Industrial Society and Its Future*. The phrase is identified as a code word for adopting specific ideological frameworks, such as those found in the book *White Fragility*. This process is compared to 1970s sensitivity training and "Est" (Erhard Seminars Training), where participants are pressured to conform to a group identity.

ted kaczynski· unabomber manifesto· over-socialization· doing the work· anti-racism training

2:03:43 the Industrial Society and its future, also known as the Unabomber's Manifesto where he speaks of this over socialization where everybody is going to offend everybody in some way all the time. And this is the result Add to that the technological component of a Zoom call which just screws up life altogether. Welcome to your future! Let's play console bickering apologize more, more. This is so much better than the clips I would have made So i'm glad you did that because I didn't see any of this part of it This is dynamite One of the things we should all learn to do and I'm learning to do this

2:04:24 When somebody tells you that you did something wrong, the first thing to do is reflect on it and then apologize. Even if you don't agree, you apologize! That's what Robin did. Oh... That is what you do when somebody says you did something wrong and you hurt them You're supposed to say I'm sorry And that how the works Tom Some people said you hurt them. You may not agree, but the least you can do is I'm sorry I hurt you! That is what grown-ups do." So it's okay for you to call Tom not grown up now? Is that what you're saying? Well, you can be the judge of it. What do grown ups do when somebody says, you hurt me and you don't apologize?" Wow... And these people are indirectly involved with the education of your children?!

2:05:25 The joke of this, by the way. This guy Tom who she's targeting... Yeah? Who I don't have any clips from him because he is too reasonable. He finally makes his assertion so Tom comes on and says oh okay well then I felt hurt that you condemned me there. I want your apology! And no one would apologize to him! The apologies only go one way Ohhhh I see So no one will...oh my No, I apologize to Tom because Tom's a dick apparently so they didn't like that. So that's the bickering apologies and then we had this kind of shaved head Asian woman and this is the doing-the-work clip which is the keyword...I want people who realize that the code word is DOING THE WORK! Which means reading that stupid book by the way. I can incorporate this into my sentence excuse me

2:06:19 Are you, have you not done the work? Yes. Are you using your privilege to- And I'm gonna get to that, the parallel of that after this clip or after these two clips We are learning good stuff here people Um...I've done my own work and some of you have done what I'd like to speak Oh wow But I'll keep it short This just illustrates to me the need for anti-racism training, because some of you definitely including myself actually I would say all of us don't have the language to really talk about this in a way that's constructive and productive and growth oriented. And I have done my own work and some of you have done work with the CEC. Marisol hosted Courageous Conversations and some of you attended

2:07:22 Clearly we need more of it. And that was really the intent of my letter to you, Maude I don't see you doing the work." Oh hohoho! Oh my goodness! Just hold on a second...I don't care what- just You can't say anything That was without a doubt, that was it. I cannot beli- well I can sadly, I can believe this but This has to stop Tears will come, people. This will not end well and it's... this is destructive! This is destroying people and what good is doing anybody?

Method Acting Parallels, Social Media Neurosis

The phrase "doing the work" is also traced to the method acting community and Lee Strasberg, suggesting that modern social justice performance has roots in theatrical training. These ideological "tricks" are amplified by social media algorithms that trigger neurosis through likes and follows. The result is described as a "complete meltdown" of traditional social interactions in favor of performative identity politics.

method acting· lee strasberg· social media· neurosis· identity

2:08:07 Well, it's making some time. It's making money and it's making a lot of last clip And there's a four second clip which I just want to show you get this is another person These are all different people and this is the last one that I recorded which had just to summarize She's got it nailed bridge divides To learn what? I need to learn to do the work Do the work okay it hit me where have I heard this phrase before You've got to do the work, doing the work. It's about the work are you ready? Are you ready for it? I'm ready! I live with an actress for several years The entire acting community

2:08:48 It's about doing the work. You've got to do the work to be able to get to that place, to-do this role...doing the work! It's taken directly from Strasburg. Strasburg? Who is it? Lee-Lee...Reece Strasberg isn't that the...? Yeah, the actor who's been training her. The acting coach. Yeah, the method actors. This is method acting!! They are teaching them method acting!!! Well doing the work is actually referring to what they really mean when they say in this context. Read that stupid book! If you don't read the book, you're not doing the work. Doing the work... This is the closest thing I've seen and and I would attribute it to this book and this woman who is going around giving her seminars. This is very reminiscent of the seminars you would get in 70's And that sprang out of Earhart

2:09:42 Oh, wait. Yes. Sensitivity training. Yes. Est. Yeah that's what it was. These are all est. This is a rewrite of how est worked on this more targeted but it's the same kind of thing they sit you in the room they brainwash as a brainwashing session very well done I've gone through a couple of them when I was at the air pollution district they made us go through one with some variation but I it was very They're great and I can see how people get caught up in the next thing you know, you're going broke. You got no more money it's all going to Est. And they haven't got that angle down yet but they're getting there because you can never finish that's the problem when you get stuck in this one of these things you gotta keep going to seminars, you've gotta take more courses and the key word back then I used to use it all the time because we had when I was at Infoware we had an Esty nutball working there as one of the writers

2:10:36 And I kind of, you know he'd talk about it and he's just kind of like well why are you getting out of this? You know we all did other most of us thought that was nuts. And I thought it was nuts but the key word that you could use on people to make them think that you were part of the cult is have you had the training? You could say oh man... Oh man! That is yes I've done the work Have you done the training And was it not in the series The Americans that that guy got wrapped up and in Estes as well on the show? Oh, I never you know people keep telling me. I've never watched the series but that's quite possible You know it's about Russian spies in the United States in the 70s during that era. During that era. Yeah, that's when he would get wrapped up in it Wow this is so good So it's really kind of a cycle It's a fractal

2:11:31 It's holdover the must of many of these people must be the same people who were I bet you there's plenty of coming into this Oh, they all tricks. The old techniques that training method yeah only now it's the work is not the training right either training or training every other training Now it's the work have done to work have you done the working done the work? It's just a different code word But that's the code And you have to say, yes I've done the work. And oh okay he's one of us, he's one of the pod people. Let him go. Okay let me try it, let me try it. Excuse me? I've done the work! Are you using your privilege to assume that I'm white?! Oh wow! That's a double whammy baby! Yeah goes all the way through so I'm not even claiming I'm not white

2:12:18 Ugh, that's a dead-ass dynamite. I can't wait to try it! Yeah... Tears or violence man? Holy crap!! Oh, man. Well we're watching a rerun of this bullcrap from the 70s with these people and they just eat... They're just rolling in money like they do. The tricks always worked it was all the little spin-offs of S and there were a tonne of them. But John think about it so you have asked all these little tricks and we should probably consider highlighting them because these are amplified through the mechanisms of social media

CHAPTER 36 / 51 Discussion

Applied Psychology, Protecting Against Manipulation

The techniques used in modern diversity seminars are characterized as "applied psychology" designed to manipulate people, similar to methods studied by the CIA. A rhetorical defense is suggested for those confronted by these tactics: using the ideology's own language to challenge assumptions about race and privilege. This "armor" is intended to help individuals navigate disruptive environments without succumbing to psychological pressure.

applied psychology· manipulation· cia· white fragility· rhetoric

2:12:54 They're amplified. So when you do the work, you get lots of likes then all the neurosis triggers go and so this is highly addictive Of course it never ends well, as you can tell. What's happening here is a complete meltdown and then what happens? Then you have to get on antidepressants or some other thing... It's very destructive. You're already screwed up if you're easily suckered! Okay but we've got look old white dudes the most hated people in America because maybe something in the world maybe some sense coming out

2:13:32 This is a generation that grew up with the likes and the follows, and the notifications, and the bells and whistles. You just tie it into something very easily... Well, this is some heavy-duty thinking that went into this. And it doesn't surprise me that woman who wrote White Fragility is a psychologist or so she knows about these tricks This is applied psychology. People didn't like to talk about it, but the CIA knows about it. The idea was... It's not psychology, it's applied psychology. In other words you use psychology to manipulate people and that's what's going on here. There'll be people being manipulated by this and then you see the results of these meetings and they're disruptive

2:14:24 And the people that are being disrupted, the normal people like that Latina...the only guy there, the Methodist guy there plus a Tom who is berated and then there's one other guy who was a defender. There were two sides of this thing you could see clearly it was four people that were social justice types and four people that weren't. The people that weren't—and I have to say this just across-the-board—don't know what's going on don't know what's hitting them don't know how it works And really the only way you can protect yourself is by sticking close to us. No, your bit—the bit you just did... Yeah? That is your armor. You could do that and that guy kind of did that in that one clip where he says wait are you accusing Tom being immature? Right right. That was using that your own language against it but you can't do it in this… The problem I see—the way I see

2:15:19 Doing that kind of thing in that's the way I would do it. That my snide, sarcastic manner... Right right right But that is not the way to do it! I'm just doing it that way because I don't care but the way you describe doing it, THAT'S the way to do it! I'm gonna refine it yet again. I've done the work and I am surprised that you use your privilege to assume that I am white Yes, that's even better. That's a dynamite thing to say to somebody

2:15:58 I think you have to step away. That's only works if there somebody is calling you white, racist or yeah... There's gotta be some other white supremacist mechanisms just a baseline i think for a lot of mechanisms that can't be developed that would all put people push people back there was some guy I think it was Ohio State or some college this clip from like years ago when these kids came in demanding this and demanding that And he used the idea of you're in my space and he threw all the same cornball stuff back at it. Now I feel unsafe, just told these kids and they all got out left they didn't follow up on it at all. They just left. I don't feel safe. It's fantastic! It's fantastic! And I think we have an example of one of these

Whole Foods Boycott, Black Lives Matter Face Masks

Employees at a Whole Foods in Cambridge, Massachusetts, have been boycotting the store for 18 days after being told they cannot wear Black Lives Matter face masks. The company maintains a dress code policy prohibiting visible slogans, while employees argue that the company allows other symbols like gay pride pins. The standoff highlights the conflict between corporate branding and employee political expression.

2:16:46 in this ongoing Massachusetts boycott of Starbu- of Whole Foods. Remember I remarked that they had this really cute girl, young woman who was doing all the talking about the Black Lives Matter face masks which were not allowed? So she's back in the picture now! This is two weeks later or maybe a week or ten days later and she is I'm thinking she is trained and it's too bad we don't have video because this is one of the few times you'd really... Her name was Savannah. something or other. Just listen to this training that's going on and listen to this report because she's good, she's really good customers an employees boycotting side by side outside of the Whole Foods in Cambridge we've been told to take our masks off um or leave without pay it's going on day 18 some employees walking off the job daily after being reprimanded by management for wearing Black Lives Matter face mask at work I think they should let us support

2:17:48 Any kind of movement that is human rights, and that's equal rights until their bottom line is hurt And they see that people care I don't think they're going to change. Even the most loyal of shoppers are changing their minds about the company, standing in solidarity with employees. I feel completely uncomfortable giving them any of my dollars so we've stopped shopping here? A Whole Foods spokesperson told CBS News their dress code policy prohibits visible slogans messages or logos unrelated to the company but their employees disagree We wear gay pride pins

2:18:27 Here she is. We wear red socks masks, we wear brunes masks. I'm really encouraged to and i can't understand why they're not changing this policy because it's so small Even though some of these employees are on the verge of losing their jobs, they vow to continue to walk out and speak out until changes are made. I think it's what we...I think uh..and it is called a false equivalency? To use one of those great new words. To say that representing sports pride for your town or your state Is equal to Black Lives Matter political statement

2:19:09 In fact, it's actually kind of demeaning. It says well just like sports team mom! This is one of those situations unfortunately I've said this before should have happened at Evergreen where the kids should have been expelled because a kid going to getting into college and then getting expelled from college has to go home to their parents and say i got expelled why did you get expelled there's no good reason uh they should just shut that whole foods down and leave town Yeah, yeah. It's been 18 days almost three weeks now I shut it down. Bezos has got the money he doesn't care Shut the Whole Foods down and leave these people let them screw him and then make sure that's on their record they They've managed to shut down store. Oh no but Bezos is in the same spot man He's running commercials showing how good they are for the green earth And how good they are for Black Lives Matters and two million dollars here realizes that Bezos even owns Whole Foods

Kanye West Presidential Run, 2024 Strategy

Rapper Kanye West announced his candidacy for President of the United States in 2020, receiving public support from Elon Musk. While media outlets have questioned his mental health, the move is analyzed as a potential "Ross Perot" game changer that could siphon votes from Joe Biden. The run is also viewed as a "warm-up" for a more serious campaign in 2024, challenging the established political duopoly.

2:20:07 That call him this is happening. This is Bezos is in trouble, too He's in trouble the camping outside his house gotta close that store All right. Luckily we have a complete disruption coming on the scene and this is real I have a lot of respect for what he's doing and I think there's a method to the madness This is Reuters Lee sang that no one man should have all that power but it seems like rapper Kanye West wants some of it and announcing on Saturday that he would run for president in 2020. Although it was not immediately clear if West was serious about vying for the presidency just four months out from the election, or if he had filed any official paperwork to appear on state election ballots, he posted on Twitter

2:20:53 We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future. I am running for President of the United States." The deadline to add independent candidates to the ballot has not yet passed in many states West and his wife Kim Kardashian West have visited Donald Trump in the White House And he already has at least one high-profile supporter, Tesla CEO Elon Musk replying to the tweet. You have my full support." Okay I want and I gotta tell you I've analyzed this guy. I like him a lot and I liked what he did when he went into the Oval Office and was talking about the 14th Amendment and of course people call him nuts and already TMZ has launched the headline Kanye West in midst of bipolar episode family concerned

2:21:42 according to sources who are familiar with their thinking, you know that kind of stuff. This is a very interesting move He's a billionaire by the way he is he is a very wealthy very successful guy He comes across as nuts and the media will portray him as however they want to portray him The same they did for Donald Trump. He has maybe not a real certainly no shot of becoming president for 2020 this is the wind-up this is a warm up for Kanye for 2024 and he's a great choice Because, and I vote for Vermin Supreme. I like his platform everybody gets a free pony. I love the outfit and it keeps me unaffiliated so we can do this show with clear conscience and heart but Kanye Wow! So you don't have to vote for Trump for all the things you don't really like about Trump of being just a douche sometimes and being cringy But you know your Kanye is not gonna beat Trump but he'll certainly take away a vote from Biden

2:22:41 That is a very powerful position and Kanye will have some power. Maybe it's 1% of the black vote, Ados in this case? Who knows! He'll have some peace because a lot of people take him seriously as do I and this is a Ross Perot game changer for this election Hello he's a black man, he gets no... Black men running for president doesn't get any serious interviews really In Forbes you know like kind of literal reprint of him saying wacky stuff the same way they do about Trump. That's because they take him seriously too, they know he is a detriment to the whole idea of hiding Joe in the basement and having a unity consensus technocrat government surrounding him cause that what their setting up! It's gonna suck!

Joe Biden, Sanders Unity Task Force and Rain Gaffe

The Biden-Sanders "Unity Task Force" released a 110-page document outlining progressive policy recommendations on climate change and healthcare. During a rare public appearance, Joe Biden appeared confused by rain and made a verbal gaffe, comparing current investments to the "Great Depression of World War II." These incidents fuel ongoing discussions regarding Biden's ability to debate Donald Trump.

2:23:35 It's gonna suck. Shit, come on! If Joe Biden wins with whatever this whole unity that have you seen I have a clip here hold on a second this is the Biden Sanders unity task force And they rolled out the platform. A task force set up by Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president and former presidential contender Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont an independent released a sweeping set of platform recommendations on Wednesday that lays out a progressive roadmap for Democrats The one that falls short of Sanders push for radical change The task force which was launched in May

2:24:14 laid out its platform recommendations on a number of key issues including climate change, criminal justice reform immigration policies health care education and the economy in 110 page document. If you're wondering where all the toilet paper went apparently The Hill used it to have their voiceover people talk through when they're recording their articles not as bad as Biden bring it bring me some Biden All right, so Biden gave this speech in some little town in... This was a big deal. He came out of the basement! He was out all of sudden and we're like what? And nobody miked him right and they played live streams on CNBC or one of them. CNBC I think CNN. I know The Washington Post. They won't play a live Trump thing but The Washington Post even streamed it on YouTube

2:25:10 all and this is the best I could get. And this is not only that, but it started raining during the thing. Oh gosh! So everyone had to come inside and violate the rules. At the end of the thing, they got these big circles you're supposed to stand in a circle because every circle six feet apart right? And so that looked idiotic and then of course when the thing was over they all mingled...I mean come on Make up your mind. So it started raining and Biden was freaked out by this, so he thought it was raining but didn't think that it was raining He kind of lost his sense of things because the whole speech was read from a prompter and he walked off immediately took no questions No, he couldn't ad-lib about the rain But even in the process of doing this he still screwed up Of course! This is the part where it starts raining and Biden kinda freaks out Ad libs And labor, beauty

2:26:03 I'm the only one that has that capacity to do it. That's rain outside, come on in guys! I don't want anybody out there. Guys, is it rain? Oh my gosh! Is that not rain? I thought that was rain... It is? You guys can come on in and don't stay out there. But look, determination, resilience and grit. The strength to get up no matter how many times you get knocked down. Respect for hard work from people who do it

2:26:40 These are the bad guys we grew up with and all of you have grown up... Wow! Mike, it was- The rain was better miked. Yeah and it kind of reminded me let me see if I can do this. Let's see if this will work. Oh my gosh Joe. Watch it! Yeah Little walking in the rain Ron Nance, I mean this is beautiful It's so it gives you such a vision of a powerful new leader. Yeah the guy and they just is unbelievable date I Got the one gaffe This is his Great Depression gap listen to this

2:27:37 Oh my gosh, I can't wait. This will be a mobilization of R&D and procurement investment in ways not seen since the Great Depression of World War II. Whoa! Not seen since the Great Depression of World War II What's depression was that I got a little make sure he was saying that this is a fact check need to fact-check He said of he wanted to say or I know this is on the prompter yeah, great depression just read it Yeah, he misread. It. This is

Systemic Racism, Defunding the Police Debate

In an interview with Norah O'Donnell, Joe Biden acknowledged systemic racism in law enforcement and housing but stated he does not support defunding the police. Instead, he proposed conditioning federal aid on "standards of decency." Biden also criticized President Trump's use of the National Guard against protesters, while critics point out inaccuracies in his description of the military's role in domestic unrest.

systemic racism· defund the police· joe biden· nora o'donnell· national guard

2:28:19 So this is, he can't debate Trump which is why they're already pushing that. Oh you're gonna get out of the debate you watch! There's not going to be... there's gonna be voting by mail, there's gonna be... shoot! You know what? No we're gonna watch out some kind of genius blockchain invention is coming and we're all gonna vote on the blockchain while we have our masks on making love to our partners oh I'm sorry it's not us because you and I are out on the street white man So I did find a thing that Norah O'Donnell interviewed some time ago. This is about, I'd say maybe a year ago? Actually it was just before he got all his votes and needed to be the nominee and he was in the studio and it was actually pretty... It was succinct kind of but there's something in this clip that I wanted to play

2:29:17 Oh yeah, this is the fact that he won't... This was in June. And he wouldn't answer a question where Trump's name was invoked and it would it was actually a good question It wasn't a Trump question. It was just a comment that Trump made she wanted him to respond to he refused to say anything about it because it's Trump and she never called him back on this very poor job by Norah O'Donnell here. Do you believe there is systemic racism in law enforcement? Absolutely, but such as a law enforcement across the board It's in housing isn't education. Isn't everything we do

2:29:58 It's real. It's genuine, it's serious. Look not all law enforcement officers are racist my lord there are some really good cops out there but the way in which it works right now you've seen too many examples of it Do you support defunding the police? No I don't support defunding the police I support conditioning federal aid to police based on whether or not they meet certain basic standards of decency and honorableness. In fact, are able to demonstrate they can protect the community and everybody in the community." Does it hurt Democrats' cause if there are some in your party that are saying defund the police? The president is suggesting that shows Democrats are weak in terms of law and order. The President has no credibility on anything he lies

2:30:45 He's the first person anyone can think of in modern history who has taken regular military officers and had them move against peaceful demonstrators, causing four former chiefs of staff to say this guy is bad. This guy is wrong. You should just stop." Wait a minute! It was the National Guard wasn't it? Yeah. And he says that they were terrorists. Officers you officers get out there and stop those protesters I thought it was generals. He made the generals do it. Generals, you get out there and do some work! You're not doing anything. Oh my goodness... Hmm Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Well if you think that's the problem

National Parks Diversity, "Brown People Camping" Initiative

ABC News featured a report on the lack of diversity in American national parks, describing them as "stubborn bastions of self-segregation." Ambreen Tarek, founder of "Brown People Camping," argues that people of color often feel unwelcome in the wilderness. The report questions why the "overwhelmingly white" demographics of park visitors persist and calls for efforts to make these spaces more inclusive.

national parks· ambreen tarek· diversity· camping· self-segregation

2:31:31 And we'll just kind of continue this thread for a moment. ABC News has found out that our national parks are in fact problematic, which and I have a new term for us... This needs this situation with the natural parks needs to be normalized or This can't be normalized, depends on how you want to use it. The sweeping vistas stir the soul wildlife and waterfalls awaken a sense of wonder the American wilderness a playground for old and for young an overwhelmingly white when you look around don't see people that you identify with

2:32:10 feel welcome, you feel out of place. You feel literally like you are an outsider." Ambreen Tarek is founder of Brown People Camping when she was eight years old her family moved from India to Minnesota where she fell in love with the outdoors 20 years later she's still astonished not to see more people like her and there some people might say isn't this just that people of color don't like to camp? Yeah And to that I would say, no. Right? That's a generalization and there just because something isn't happening or the presence of someone is missing does not mean they don't want to be there." To many Americans of color parks campgrounds in forest land are stubborn bastions of self-segregation Damn! Do you think this is true? Is there some truth to this seems wild this accusation

2:33:01 That blacks don't like to camp? Yeah, John. That was my question. That was a very strange report Oh and it went on for seven minutes It was very in-depth Huh And I dunno... Well that's..I know who'd ask of course But never really thought about that and I've been in national parks Why don't you bring it up on the next show Yeah! I've been around national parks alot I dunno it always seems pretty diverse to me but maybe its tourists idk Who knows So this is national parks are problematic

Michael Lofthouse, Carmel Valley Restaurant Incident

A video went viral showing Michael Lofthouse, identified as a Silicon Valley CEO, shouting racial slurs at an Asian family at a Carmel Valley restaurant. Investigation reveals that Lofthouse's company, "Solid 8," appears to be a small LLC operating out of a mail drop rather than a major tech firm. The incident was widely covered by national media and Gizmodo, leading to questions about whether the story was amplified to serve a specific political narrative about Silicon Valley.

michael lofthouse· carmel valley· bernardus lodge· solid 8· gizmodo

2:33:44 Well, anyway that's a showstopper. I'm sorry! I didn't mean to stop the show. Let's just play this clip which i don't even know what it is. Blaming me for stopping the show. It's called fake racists. Okay well now this could pick us up out of this show-stopping moment Raymond DeRosa and his family were having dinner on his wife's birthday July 4th at Carmel Valley restaurant Lucia We were there just celebrating Having fun. When that fun quickly disappeared, as the man you can see in the background of the celebratory picture began ranting. Suddenly I hear this loud voice effing Asians. Arosa's niece Jordan Chan recorded what happened next on her cell phone. Say that again! Oh now your shy? Michael Lofthouse gave family a finger then said...

2:34:37 I need to leave. You do not talk about Jeff like that! You need to leave. Asian piece of sh** Oh my god He was full of hate and anger It's sad that there are still people who are like that in this world let alone in this country. A Lucia employee quickly stepped in. Wait a minute, where did this trauma-based entertainment take place? In Carmel at the Bernardus Lodge And who's the white person of this fracas because that's how it was usually put together This white person is a... all the news covered him as

2:35:15 prominent Silicon Valley CEO of a company, cloud-based company out of San Francisco. Which is where the story gets interesting but you've wrapped that up and I'll tell ya what the deal is. I admire her for that. In an emailed statement, the vice president and general manager of Bernardus Lodge & Spa in part writes quote, we are proud of our staff at Lucia in keeping with Bernardus Lodges core values Michael Lofthouse also issued a statement writing quote my behavior in the video is appalling This was clearly a moment where I lost control and made incredibly hurtful and divisive comments

2:35:58 I would like to deeply apologize to the Chan family. I can only imagine the stress and pain they feel. I was taught to respect people of all races, and I will take time to reflect on my actions in order to better understand the inequality that so many around me face every day." He's just saving face, I think he really meant what he said and what he did. because his actions speak louder than the words he say. Arosa says those actions in part include additional Instagram comments that appear to have been posted by Lofthouse directed at one of the family's supporters, that include Asian expletive and come near me or my people and you are expletive dead. Lofthouse did not respond to a request for an additional comment about the Instagram posts or his role as Solid 8 CEO, a San Francisco based

2:36:47 company. I can't say what he did was acceptable or right, no it isn't because a lot of people will probably disagree with me by saying i forgive him but I do okay well this is an interesting case that we have on our hands and you heard her she said he's the ceo of solid eight a san francisco-based tech company yeah You've looked them up, the solid eight? Oh yeah. Okay all right what's going on here? I looked up everything Is this a hate crime? First had to find out where they're located there and I sent a note to this is an ABC report I sent a note to the reporter saying you know give me the address of where they are in San Francisco, where this company is in San Francisco do you have it

2:37:29 the San Francisco based tech company, is San Francisco based. He started this company two years ago out of his house in Los Gatos and now it runs out of a mail drop from in a shopping mall in Las Gatos said that's the AIM mailbox company he's got his box number. He doesn't have a company that I can tell but he's like a founder CEO- This is like a porn company! This is a porn company come on I don't even think it's that. Solid 8, he does have a website you can go to i think is solid8.net or something or tv or something solid8.info and uh and it's just a dead site it was put together through GoDaddy anonymously and it's been open... I don't know the sites only been up since... Wait so they spent all this time on ABC your local ABC station showing this guy racist Silicon Valley CEO what is up?

2:38:23 Yeah, and then it also ran in USA Today. It ran at Gizmodo had a whole piece on it which called the president of the United States a white supremacist I mean this is completely nuts This guy's as far as I can tell this guys doesn't have a business I mean he has a court- it IS an LLC that's registered with the state of California through that mailbox in Los Gatos which is supposed to be The Office And uh I don't know what the deal is. What's the end? What's the goal here? It was a canned apology this guy had, it was a canned apology How is this even a news story? This is a sham! So what is this? Is this a jab at the real Silicon Valley to say hey we're just warming up over here and this is what we can do? Who owns Gizmodo? He went after Asians for a reason...

2:39:18 Gizmodo's owned by that company that was the after Gawker Media fell apart. Did Peter Thiel buy it all? I don't think so, this is the one that Jezebel also part of this operation. China? There was a bunch of social justice warriors. It's China?! I'll find the quote and put in the newsletter. It's pretty pathetic but... This is scam of some sort and I can't put my finger on why or what maybe just the publicity stunt for the guy Well, that's a really lame way to go about getting some publicity for your cloud-based company. What's the publicity going to accomplish? Don't do publicity stunts unless it makes you money or sells books! Exactly I'm gonna show my support by donating to KnowAgenda Imagine all the people who could deal with us Oh yeah that'd be fab Yeah on KnowAgenda In the morning

CHAPTER 46 / 51 Discussion

Chris Fenton, Hollywood and the CCP

Movie producer Chris Fenton discusses the extensive influence of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) on Hollywood productions. Using *Iron Man 3* as an example, Fenton explains how the CCP requires films to be shot in China and feature Chinese actors to gain market access. This exchange is part of a broader strategy by the CCP to build its own film industry and manage its domestic population through controlled entertainment.

chris fenton· ccp· iron man 3· marvel· censorship

2:54:40 I wanted to take a moment, got three clips actually of Chris Fenton and... I also have two clips. Chris Fenton is a producer, he's like a movie producer big time. He did some of the Marvel stuff Iron Man couple other movies and he as the story goes was so tired of kowtowing to the CCP as all of Hollywood does that he's written a book of course which she is now promoting and it I have not read yet but look forward to

2:55:39 And here's just a couple of clips of him talking about the hoops that they had to go through, to have access to the Chinese market which is really where all the money is. Since the Clinton administration that's what the deals have been all about so from Hollywood to the sports world NBA without China without access and they may take advantage of their position And they will cut you off as we saw with the Hong Kong NBA fracas, which don't talk about that anymore. So here he is talking about I think this is uh... iron man com one of the things that china was extremely strict honest about what is it if you're gonna have access to this market and you have access to market in promote this movie far beyond most movies you need to shoot the movie here you know not all of it but parts of it and you need to have

2:56:32 what they call first unit people over which means having Don Cheadle and Gwyneth Paltrow and Robert Downey Jr. And having our director over there in showcasing the movie by shooting it you know so many days in that market, having a certain amount of the movie take place in China in the final cut Unfortunately, what happened Robert Downey Jr. got hurt in that production so we lost a lot of potential shooting days that we could have done in China So we ended up shooting just second unit material in the market and we did certain things that you know with the CCP's

2:57:09 guidance to try to showcase the amount of movie making we were doing in that market and the amount of people that we were hiring with those second unit shots, that were Chinese. And the amount of skill set and exchange that we are doing to help them build their own film industry because remember the CCP is about how do we govern 1.4 billion people? And keep them just happy enough that they don't revolt, right? You can't make them all happy. There's not enough resources on Earth so how do you keep them just happy enough that they don't revolt and part of that is giving them all what they need and some of what they want but another big part of that is also building their middle class and how do you build their middle class well you create industries that hire skilled labor in the film industry one of them And it's already all there

CHAPTER 47 / 51 Discussion

Point Break Remake, Chinese Censorship of Storylines

A planned scene for the *Point Break* remake involving a "Robin Hood" diamond heist in Shanghai was vetoed by Chinese censors. The CCP argued that Chinese police would have caught the thieves immediately and that Chinese citizens would not pick up stolen diamonds. This level of narrative control is contrasted with American shows like *NCIS: Los Angeles*, where law enforcement is often portrayed as absent or ineffective during high-action sequences.

point break· shanghai· censorship· robin hood· policing

2:58:05 There's nothing left. Not much in Hollywood Yeah, well this is true Here's a funny anecdote he had about the movie Point Break I guess they did a remake of that movie? of Point Break, but he again a little interesting tidbit on how much control that the CCP has over the storyline even. Point Break is another one right where we did the remake and there was a scene in that movie where we were going to open up the film with a cold open which is always that high action sort of impact three minutes that gets you right into the movie and it was gonna take place in Shanghai

2:58:48 And it was going to take place in a building way up, like on the top floor of one of those massive buildings in the Pudong district. It was a diamond store or diamond showcase center and these motorcycles were driving through and they got onto the elevator and they started taking all the diamonds and then they drove out the building up on the 100th floor and they had parachutes, and they were supposed to take the diamonds with them. But because they're sort of Robin Hood characters, they were going to spread the diamonds all over you know the city from the air And then all the Chinese were supposed to pick up the diamonds because the Robin Hood effort, you know won over the rich diamond dealers or whatever. But the Chinese government said You can't do that I was gonna say this I'm sure that one didn't go very well He said well number one is our police would have caught them and number two is The Chinese people would not pick up diamonds that weren't theirs so this does not make sense That might actually be true

2:59:53 So yeah, I don't think so. We need to help the Chinese people we need to tell them what's going on? I don't know if they pick up a diamond if you see it laying around That's our tip of the day Our anti CCP tip for the day If you see a diamond laying around go ahead pick it up It's okay Tell them, Adam and Johnson. It's the little subtlety that's gotta drive these guys nuts which is that our police wouldn't let that happen when you compare it to our storytelling mechanism just on TV for example lets examine the show NCIS Los Angeles where there are bombings and shootings and car chases and explosions all over the place by these NCIS people and no local cop ever shows up

3:00:43 Our police in Los Angeles don't give a crap. You know, it's so predictable but the cops are just gonna walk they're gonna leave people are gonna find other things to do oh I think this is we're gonna have a policing problem in this country major thank you Black Lives Matter good move it was a Marxist idea yeah yeah major problem Once you even just start talk about defunding, taking... it's over. It's over! Who wants that job? Ah, it's very very sad but okay So I have a couple of things to end with Please

CHAPTER 48 / 51 Discussion

Kayleigh McEnany, Media Focus on Confederate Flag

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany criticized the media for asking numerous questions about the Confederate flag while ignoring a spike in shootings and the deaths of children in cities like Atlanta and New York. McEnany's "irked" but professional demeanor is compared to former press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. The segment highlights the disconnect between White House priorities and the topics emphasized by the press corps.

kayleigh mcenany· white house· confederate flag· gun violence· sarah sanders

3:01:22 I thought this would definitely get to one of some... Let's play, well I got one short Kayleigh one. Let's get it out of the way she's bitching and moaning because she did a press conference early in the week where all they asked her was about the Confederate flag, the Confederate flag because Trump tweeted something stupid and see this is what Trump does that will make people vote for Kanye It's this kind of shit that drives people crazy No no but he's voting... Okay you can think that all you want But this is a classic. She didn't have any she didn't have a setup, she didn't have any target but she did her classic close and walk with them yelling at her

3:02:02 on ventilators and having to wait till later is that we were able to deploy around the world and help other countries. So that's what I would have to say on COVID. And finally, I'd end with this you know i was asked probably 12 questions about the confederate flag uh this president focused on action and I'm a little dismayed that I didn't receive one question on the deaths that we got in this country this weekend. I didn't receive one question about New York City shootings doubling for the third straight week and over the last seven days, shooting skyrocket by 142%. Not one question! I didn't received one question about five children who were killed... Oh gosh.

3:02:39 by a dad, it broke my heart. A dad of an eight year old lost in Atlanta this weekend they say black lives matters you killed a child she didn't do nothing to nobody was his quote we need to be focused on securing our streets making sure no lives are lost because all black lives matter that have David Dorn and that is this eight-year-old girl thank you Wow Wow, that was what kind of what is what's going on with her? She's irked. That's her job she's irked

3:03:17 She's smiley. She's really different Sarah Sanders is not much different the way they approach these things have Sarah always had this grouchy look on her face she never smiled when she did it was rare and it wasn't part of and she wasn't a cute bubbly blonde so the cute bubbly bubbly bomb comes on as she smiles knows everyone's name, and then at the end she She turns on the group and just yells at them for not doing their job correctly. Which is why we love her! It's a fantastic act. Why we write songs about her! May we have her around long time, but I don't know. I'm worried for her future. Oh she's fine Says you

Hagia Sophia, Conversion to Mosque in Turkey

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has officially converted the Hagia Sophia from a museum back into a mosque. The 1,500-year-old structure was originally a Christian cathedral before becoming a mosque under the Ottoman Empire and a museum under modern Turkey's founder, Ataturk. The decision has drawn criticism from global religious leaders and secular Turks who fear the further erosion of the separation between religion and state.

hagia sophia· turkey· erdogan· istanbul· orthodox cathedral

3:04:13 I think so. So, I got two other clips. All right! This is the news clip this is the Saint Sophia this is a major story that they're playing on CBS so I guess they're picking it up in a national level but when we talked about the Pope earlier then this happened... Oh yes yeah and this is another piece of the puzzle in the new Dan Brown novel. Now I have two of my, one is it starts with lowercase i think as the real clip the other ones was an empty file. The World Council of Churches expressed dismay today following a decision by Turkey's president to convert one of the country's most famous landmarks from a museum into a mosque. The Hagia Sophia in Istanbul was built 1500 years ago as an Orthodox cathedral CBS' Holly Williams is there

3:05:03 For nearly 90 years, Hagia Sophia has been a museum. Built as a cathedral for Christians later becoming a mosque for Muslims but modern Turkey's founder Kemal Ataturk wanted it to be a monument for everyone Now Turkey's current leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan has announced it'll be converted back into a mosque Delighting his devout supporters who celebrated outside Hagia Sophia chanting God is great. But the decision horrifies those like Nobel Prize winning author Orhan Pamuk, who want their country to remain a place where politics and religion are kept separate

3:05:51 There are millions of secular Turks like me who are crying against this, but their voices are not heard because we don't have enough free speech and democracy in Turkey unfortunately anymore. Hagia Sophia was built as a cathedral around 1500 years ago when this city now known as Istanbul was ruled by the Christian Byzantine Empire Then nearly 600 years ago it became a mosque when the city was conquered by the Muslim Ottoman Empire. In modern day Turkey, the religious and secular rub shoulders often surprisingly sometimes uncomfortably.

3:06:33 The decision to convert Aya Sofía back into a mosque has been criticized by Christian leaders and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned against it. When I hear this report, I am so happy that the state of Texas is lowering marijuana to a second-class drug This is, I mean this is crazy. This is real Ottoman Empire's Vatican shit. There's something going on... You think? Oh you've been there! Okay cool. Oh yeah definitely. It is unbelievable. This thing was built in like 500 and it is

3:07:13 so big it's absolutely impossible to believe that this was built during that era. It's a gorgeous facility! The other thing is there is nearby, there is another famous mosque called the Blue Mosque That serves the purpose. I don't know why they're switching this back, it was originally an Eastern Orthodox Church that massive church and you have to go visit this thing to imagine how monstrous it is And then of course the Ottoman Empire took over and turned into a mosque

3:07:52 It works as a mosque. What do you mean it works as a mosque? I mean, it looks like a mosque! Don't they need to change something no conversion they just hang a different sign on the outside what's the deal take the cross down? Well if you go into thing is pretty mosque-y already Although there are some images imagery in there, which they I don't know what they're gonna do. I think didn't they paint over the frescoes? Yeah, I'm gonna paint over the frescoes This is not have to be that because they have this They did frescos are nice or gorgeous. Well, that's done It's a fabulous place that I don't understand why they politicizing it something else is going on We have to assume end of times and at times could be

CHAPTER 50 / 51 Discussion

Sports Team Names, "Redface" and Blackface Equivalence

The debate over Native American-themed sports names has intensified following the death of George Floyd, with the Washington Redskins and Cleveland Indians undergoing name reviews. Activists argue that fans painting their faces red is equivalent to "blackface" and constitutes a racist caricature. This cultural shift is leading to a broader re-evaluation of imagery used by teams like the Kansas City Chiefs and Atlanta Braves.

washington redskins· cleveland indians· kansas city chiefs· blackface· george floyd

3:08:34 I know the last clip i have is a irksome clip. As opposed to this? Okay yeah that's pretty bad too, it's up there now this is the pro sports team names and you know all these names you know they're trying to change all these names but this is a good story because it brings in an element that i do want to discuss before we quit the show which is the notion that putting any sort of makeup on And we have to remember that blackface is a specific insult and appropriation based on the minstrel era. It's got nothing to do with painting your face at a football game red or blue, green or anything like that

3:09:20 But in this case, no we're gonna be all everything's going to be equated to blackface Long time there have been calls for certain pro sports teams To change names that many view as racist. Change has been slow to come by but there is now a renewed debate Frank Morris with member station KCUR reports on what makes this moment different Lots of Native Americans loathe the name of Washington's NFL team, the Redskins. Yeah it's a dictionary-defined racial slur full stop. Crystal EchoHawk who heads the advocacy group Illuminaative says that 30 year stalemate with a team suddenly broke when Washington's corporate sponsors demanded a new name and the team agreed to consider it

3:10:01 What changed was the murder of George Floyd, and it changed everything in this country. That includes customer preferences just this week Walmart and Amazon joined others and stopped selling the team's merchandise Mike Lewis marketing professor at Emory University says The Washington team name now has become more of a burden than a benefit And he says it's just the beginning. But at this point, I think all sorts of team names are now in play. The Cleveland Indians have launched a formal name review that leaves primarily the Kansas City Chiefs, Atlanta Braves and the Chicago Blackhawks hockey team. The three teams all claim to venerate Native Americans. Crystal Echo Hawk says the names Braves, Blackhawks and Chiefs alone are not racial slurs but they do carry heavy baggage

3:10:57 It's the imagery that gets associated with those names. It's the racist fan behavior when a fan paints their face red That is blackface Blackface is wrong we I think most people in this country get that now all right You're face read, that's black face no that's red face Faces generic yeah, it's a concept no and that's not okay No. By the way, you paint your face blue? That's not okay! It's problematic. Blackface. Problematic You know...you're the one that banned that word?! No I didn't ban it! I said you gotta look out for it and now we use it as like a rimshot

3:11:44 You're using it, yes. Well you're using like a rim shot I'm overusing the rim shot I decided to ban it and not ever use it but you are now feeling obliged to go back to using it Okay then as I used to use it all the time No slow down But still should only be a rimshot for us It shouldn't actually mean that I'd rather have a real rimshot We can't normalize that rimshot I guess at the beginning of the games when we have flybys of F-15s with Tomahawk missiles attached, that'll be okay. And then maybe the Chinook helicopter or maybe the Blackhawk, maybe those will fly over

Show Wrap-up, COVID-19 Parody and Final Montage

The show concludes with a final sign-off from Florida and Silicon Valley, followed by a musical parody about the "plannedemic" and vaccine mandates. A montage of news clips and listener-submitted rants addresses the hypocrisy of lockdown rules versus protest permissions. The episode ends with a series of "rimshots" and the show's signature "Adios Mofos" catchphrase.

3:12:25 I mean, come on. Where does it... well now i sound like a AM radio talk show guy. Come on! Where does it end? Okay boomer Well that ends only with things that hurt Trump or that we can spin to hurt Trump or filling your local politician anywhere because this is not just taking place here Boris Johnson has it many other countries Bolsonaro's got worse than any of them It's it's a great time to be a podcaster. That's all I can say Very very proud of with your own network to distribute yourself without having to go through Podbean or any of these Operations going oh, you know we don't think your podcast is suitable anymore Grumpy old Benz is next with Dame Carolyn Blaney on the

3:13:16 On the iron stick. So you can check that out on noagendastream.com End of show mixes, some fun ones! We have... Let's see Jesse Coy Nelson we have very nice work from Professor Jones and Rolando Gonzalez checks in with his 15th mix And we will be back on Thursday Coming to you from the mouth of the rat here in the sunshine state Florida, United States of America. I'm not quite sure what the FEMA region is but i hope to get out soon anyway it's the hot spot that's where we are in the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry and from northern Silicon Valley were during the show there were six motorcycle runs that shut down the freeway one of a massive I'm John C Dvorak We return on Thursday right here on No Agenda remember us at dvorak dot org slash NA until then adios mofos and such

3:14:20 According to our new ABC News poll with Ipsos, nine out of ten Americans say they've worn a mask in public in the last week. Right now in the United States people should not be walking around with masks but there's some partisan divide You said as late as March 31st there was no consensus on wearing masks Let me explain to you what happened back then But in general, if someone is well enough to be out in public they're medically well enough to put some kind of face covering or mask on. So you can see here nobody's wearing them there you go including the camera An off-duty officer was seen body slamming a woman at Walmart when she allegedly refused to wear a mask Face masks have become little more than a fashion statement A symbol of submission

3:15:14 Okay, we're gonna play that game Oh, who has the Rona in your neighborhood? A symptomatic so? That's just no good. Say who wants a vaccine in your neighborhood? Young people are the sheep today! Is the lockdown still annoying you? We completed phases one and two. Wear a mask, drive your car And visit all your friends in bars If the cases are spreading in your neighborhood Ouchie said it would

3:16:07 Stay at home you should now Kids are super spreaders in your neighborhood So take our new vaccine today Still riding high in this fast wave Not going back to normal slaves You have a duty now to us Hop along the COVID bus, cause the program is coming to your neighborhood. Propagating good! Keep profits looking good The program is essential in your neighborhood Just go back to sleep Dr Gates will brand you cheap Get that passport of a dream today

3:16:56 So if you are not coming to the people's defense, then don't challenge us when young people and other people who are frustrated and instigated by the people you paint. You aren't paying instigators to be among our people out there throwing rocks, breaking windows, and burning down buildings! And so young people are responding to that. They are enraged and there's an easy way to stop it, arrest the cops, charge the cops, charge all of the cops not just some of them not just here in Minneapolis, charge them in every city across America where our people are being murdered Charge them everywhere. That's the bottom line, charge the cops! Do your job do what you say this country is supposed to be about the land of the free for all it has not been free for black people and we are tired don't talk to us about looting y'all are the looters America has looted black people America looted the Native Americans when they first came here so looting is what you do we learned it from you we learn violence from you

3:17:54 We learned violence from you. The violence was what we learned from you! So if you want us to do better, then damn it, YOU DO BETTER! If I say all lives matter, i'm a racist. If I stand for my flag, I have to apologize for it. I am not allowed to go church but I can burn churches to the ground. I am not allowed open up my own business but I can loot and destroy other people's businesses. I can go to the park and play t-ball with my family but i can destroy the park. I'm not allowed to protect our historical monuments of history, but I can tear them down and have them laying on top people! I am not allowed to have an opinion on racial matters because im white, but if I don't have an opinion about it then Im the reason why people are oppressed. I can riot in the streets with BLM but if I go to a Trump rally COVID-19 magically appears. Does anyone else see hypocrisy? I'm done with your bullshit
