About this episode

Mastercard CEO Ajay Banga and the World Economic Forum have unveiled The Great Reset, a global initiative to overhaul the social contract using Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies. This partnership with the Gavi Vaccine Alliance and TrustStamp is currently deploying a biometric identity platform in West Africa that links vaccination records with cashless payment systems. The rollout mirrors elements of the Chinese social credit system, raising immediate concerns regarding digital surveillance and the future of mandatory health tracking.

In Australia, Melbourne authorities have granted police the power to enter homes without warrants to enforce a strict six-week lockdown following a quarantine failure involving private security. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump issued executive orders to bypass a Congressional stalemate, extending $400 weekly unemployment benefits and implementing a payroll tax holiday for workers earning under $100,000. Tensions with China escalated as Trump banned transactions with WeChat and Tencent, while the U.S. Treasury imposed sanctions on Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam, effectively freezing her access to the international banking system.

Dr. Anthony Fauci addressed his Emmy nomination during a CNN interview with Alison Camerota, while President Trump struggled with the pronunciation of Yosemite during a national parks bill signing. Executive Producer Seronymous provided a report from the Hajj 2020 pilgrimage, noting a surreal transition to virtual animal selection for sacrifices. The program also examined the rise of homeschooling pods as teachers' unions push for permanent remote learning models.

Melbourne Zephyr Report, Economic Stability Indicators

The program opens with a report on the Zephyr train passing through, featuring a classic Pullman car from the 1920s. This sighting is interpreted as a signal of economic stability for traders and the "Squawk Box" audience. References are made to Joe Biden's affinity for Amtrak and the potential for a surprise economic development related to Roosevelt.

00:00 I can't believe these pharma companies aren't doing this pro bono. Adam Curry, John C. DeVora. It's Sunday, August 8th, 2020. This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1267. This is no agenda. Keaton, the great recess. And broadcasting live from Opportunity Zone 33 here in the frontier of Austin, Texas, capital of the drone star state. In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where we can't find a reset button, I'm looking. I'm John C. DeVore. Let's get right to the news at hand. We cannot delay. We just had a special Zephyr report. The economics of the country and the world depend on it. John C. Dvorak, what are you learning? Well, I saw the Zephyr go by. Eight cars plus

00:49 a one of those bonus cars at the end, a rented, very classic old whistle stop, kind of a Pullman from the 20s. It had the back you get on back back there and you give the speeches. It's got the flag. You wait. It's all the cars got it had a bunch of flags hanging off the back. It was dynamite looking. All right. So for the Squawk box and for the trading floor, the trading desk, everybody, this means economy stable. But we have a surprise. on the horizon could be related to Roosevelt. Roosevelt, yeah. I was expecting to see Biden on the back there waving. Now that would be his jam. He is Mr. Ocella. He is Mr. Train. He's Mr. Amtrak. Yeah, he'd be perfect. That would be fantastic. But no. No, no, no. Wow. A lot of things to discuss.

CHAPTER 02 / 42 Discussion

Melbourne Lockdown Enforcement, Security Failures, Case Surges

Authorities in Melbourne, Australia, have granted police the power to enter homes without warrants to conduct spot checks during a strict six-week lockdown. The surge in COVID-19 cases is attributed to a failure in hotel quarantine managed by an independent security company that reportedly hired Uber drivers as guards. Local producers report conflicting views on the severity of the outbreak and the necessity of mandatory face masks.

melbourne· victoria· dan andrews· quarantine· uber drivers· lockdown

01:48 I would like to start just with a couple of different diverse reports we're getting from Melbourne, Australia. Now, Melbourne, I mean this is... They've gone nuts down there. They really have. People, the police can now enter homes in Melbourne without a warrant to carry out spot checks and all of this, just so you know, is being blamed on some independent security company. You see, when the lockdown order came, wherever you were, you had to stay in place for six weeks at that address, including apartment building towers, hotels, and apparently... Six weeks? Yes. That's nuts. And apparently, with just what I'm reading, in Victoria,

02:50 There was some obviously shady security company was supposed to keep people inside the hotel and they had 18 cases amongst themselves and spreading it. And I think they were having sex with people and it was a mess. So that's where the problem comes from. But the responses have been very interesting from our producers boots on the ground and very diverse actually. which kind of shows you how differently people can... it's not... let's put it this way, it's not just Trump in the US. So our first producer here was mad, just mad that we even dared to play Katie Hopkins. He's horribly mad and he said, this is not true what she said.

03:45 I live in Melbourne, it's not only closed for seven deaths. Many more than that! Today, currently 7,000 cases from effectively none. I trust our figures. Okay, well that's mistake number one, to trust any figures at this point. Lockdown is trying to put the genie back in the bottle. It's all about trying to fix the mess of the hotel quarantine failure. That was the key to the whole success for Australia. The media is pushing that narrative of a hotel security failure. Australia asked returning travelers who were the sole source of infections to self-isolate. That proved quickly not to work. So then they forced all returning travelers into two-week mandatory hotel quarantine. Ah, two weeks. At the government's expense. That was just for the hotel. That's before this big lockdown, I guess.

04:35 That's where it went wrong. So they had people coming back into the country. They were supposed to quarantine for two weeks and then this security company Well, there's actually they hired a Uber driver. Let's go back to the death toll. You said there was seven and he said you're a liar Yes, what is the number? He doesn't have a number for me says many more than that. You'd be a liar if he hasn't got a better number I don't trust any numbers from anywhere at this point. But here's the story that I guess is being blamed on this. The security company hired Uber drivers to be security guards. And the virus got out. Okay, I'm sure. Then we have a note from, who is this? Max, the talking bunyip.

05:27 A little more context for Melbourne, after listening to the show opening of 1266, a month ago Australia had, like many others, been to return to some form of normality as daily cases in all states were either in single numbers non-existent. Then suddenly Melbourne cases began to rise. Again, it's the cases story. So none of our producers have given me any feedback on increase in testing or anything like that. But after the two-week lockdown, that was the original be quiet slave, face masks and coverings were made mandatory outside of the homes. The next week the numbers stabilized around 600 to 700 a day. These are just cases, cases.

CHAPTER 03 / 42 Discussion

COVID-19 Data Transparency, Cumulative Case Counts, Pharmaceutical Funding

A discussion regarding the transparency of COVID-19 data highlights that Johns Hopkins and other tracking sites use cumulative totals rather than rolling averages, failing to remove recovered individuals from the "infected" list. Skepticism is expressed regarding the billions of dollars funneled into pharmaceutical companies for vaccines. The conversation touches on the inevitability of seasonal flu deaths and the perceived "scam" of current pandemic reporting.

johns hopkins· cumulative cases· pharmaceutical companies· vaccines· capitalism· seasonal flu

06:09 The Premier of Victoria, Dan Andrews, justified the actions of the bases that under stage 3 it would have taken all year to return to acceptable number of daily cases. They're even more clueless than we are here. They're still trying to figure out what cases are and what it means. I have one more. We got a nasty note from somebody, one of our Another producer who is a knight, so you have to take him seriously. Yeah, of course. Of course. And he goes on and on about somebody in his family died and, you know, we're just assholes for suggesting that somebody died. Well, no. And everything is a conspiracy. It's actually, it's always someone's friend's parents. Know what I mean? Someone always knows someone who, of course you do. It's horrible.

06:58 People are of course people have seasonal flu you have I had Jerry Pornell and one guy that used to work with and another one to just three years ago during that really bad flu season that was even even h1n1 it was just a bad flu season that's the one Mimi got and barely made it through. This happens. The only mistake we made is when your friends died, including John Perry Barlow, of the flu and then subsequently I guess pneumonia. We should have mocked the flu on the show. Then people would have understood. We didn't even discuss it at all probably. No. But yeah, a lot of people die every year from a lot of things. If you just highlight that the whole time,

07:41 Then it's gonna look- And you harp on it. Yeah. And for sure, there's people dying that you didn't know were gonna die. And there's always someone connected to somebody. But okay, we're insensitive bastards. Now, there's another thing that we brought up early, we forgot to bring it up again. You look at the Johns Hopkins site and there's a 12 million infected or some, there's some ridiculous number. Are they people still roaming around infected? They were infected in April. Do they ever get taken off this list or are you permanently infected? That's a very good point. There's never any indication of how many people have been infected and cured in hours. You're right. It's not a rolling average of number of people infected. It's new cases and then they just do a cumulative number. That is so true. It gets bigger and bigger. Golly, it gets bigger. That's interesting. You're so right. It always gets bigger if you don't take them off the list. Yeah, that's a good point.

08:41 Actually, Australia should call for that. By the way, that's another, you know, people, you know, it's the people that are irked at us. This is just another one of many indicators that there is a, there's a scam, not a conspiracy. There's a scam going on. Yeah. And when you see billions of dollars just being funneled into these pharma companies, here's a couple billion, make a bunch of vaccine that doesn't work. I was talking to the millennial, one of the millennials last night. And she said, I can't believe, I can't believe, she said, that the vaccine companies are not doing this pro bono. I said, is it starting to dawn on you? It's actually prepaid. We paid them up front to do all this. I hate capitalism. Well, that's where it always ends up. That's not capitalism.

CHAPTER 04 / 42 Discussion

Trump Executive Orders, TikTok Divestiture, Stimulus Negotiations

President Donald Trump issued an executive order giving TikTok 45 days to sell its U.S. operations to an American company, with a portion of the proceeds potentially going to the Treasury. Following a stalemate in stimulus negotiations with Democrats, Trump moved to bypass Congress using executive authority. The primary point of contention remains a trillion-dollar bailout for states requested by Democrats in the HEROES Act.

donald trump· tiktok· executive order· nancy pelosi· heroes act· stimulus

09:32 Corruption is corruption, you know. I just thought it was interesting. I hate capitalism. I hate capitalism. Yeah, well, the messages are confusing and the kids are disillusioned and, you know, the only thing to do is go out and throw stuff. By the way, I do like that idea of just using that. I can't believe these pharma companies aren't doing this pro bono. Are they members of the world community or not? Oh, well, in fact, they are. Just not the one you're hoping it is. And then, after the show, a couple of things happened on Thursday, which we'll get to the TikTok thing later. The executive order came out, 45 days. Either you sell off the US piece to a US company and 30% goes to the Treasury or you're out.

10:23 And this is, again, based on that DACA decision when the president was all jitty about the way the Supreme Court interpreted the executive order power or the power of the executive of the president. Friday, he threatened again at his golf club and then Saturday he made good on it and signed three executive orders. I think this is exactly what we saw happening is let them argue, put some bull crap up that apparently looks like Trump really wants it, like the FBI building, which was immediately, yeah, he wants that FBI building. He doesn't want a hotel there to compete with Trump Hotel, so let's drag this fucking one there.

11:07 And so he let him play along with that and obviously the final sticking point is a trillion dollars to bail out states. And that by the Democrats is being turned into, oh he doesn't want to help the frontline workers, the doctors and the nurses. Now there's a whole different category for that. But he came out with for executive orders, and I think the strategy worked perfectly, make it look like, or just keep yelling that the Democrats don't want to come to the table, excite the base by saying we're not going to give a trillion dollars to Democrats, states and cities.

11:47 Then, throw out the executive orders and say, what? You want to sue me over this? You want to delay this even longer, even though I'm the hero and I am in the middle here between the evil Republicans and then even more evil Democrats? I'm saving the day? Is that what you want to do, Nancy? And I think that the mainstream media aligned with the Democrats are in irons. They're in shock. They don't know which way to go. And I thought that Today Show They did kind of a summary, which I couldn't help but think this is really making Trump look incredibly good in hostile territory. Going it alone. I'm taking executive action. We've had it. At his private club, the president brought out the pens, signing a series of actions that bypass Congress after two weeks of talks for COVID relief failed. Democrats are actively blocking

CHAPTER 06 / 42 Discussion

Democratic Policy Wishlist, UN Agenda 2030, Historical Hypocrisy

An examination of the Democratic "wishlist" in the HEROES Act reveals provisions for corporate race statistics, same-day voter registration, and climate change mitigation tied to UN Agenda 2030. A 2012 clip of Nancy Pelosi is played to highlight her past support for payroll tax cuts under President Obama, contrasting with current Democratic opposition. The segment characterizes the political maneuvering as a "Build Back Better" globalist agenda.

nancy pelosi· heroes act· agenda 2030· green new deal· payroll tax· barack obama

16:16 The... Go ahead. A couple of things I want to mention that you touched on. First of all, yes, Congress is supposed to be in control of the taxing and the money and the dispensation, but the word diverting was the key here. Yes, of course. Trump isn't really... He's not creating new money. It's already there. No, and the federal Tax that you take out of your employment. Yes, payroll tax. Payroll tax is not changing anything really. You still have to pay tax. Yeah, just not the payroll tax. Yeah, just not the payroll tax. Now, the thing that's left out of all these reports, and I couldn't find the exact wording for it, but none of the reporters even cared to look, is what was this stuff that the Democrats kept wanting to add in?

17:09 You say, oh well the Democrats don't want to do it because they want to add all this left-wing crap in there. I think, well, if you looked at the HEROES Act, which I did, which was passed, I don't know, three months ago now, which is, it's huge. It's all the Green New Deal stuff. It's the UN agenda. It's Agenda 2030, all the stuff that's in there, but the main crux was the trillion dollars for states. which is just not necessary, not that much damage was caused. I found a Pelosi wish list that they keep putting in to their different bills. They tried pushing this stuff through and I just thought it'd be interesting to read the list. Sure. This is what they're asking. Publication of corporate pay statistics by race and race statistics for all corporate boards. Well, I can't... What's wrong with that? We could have that by law.

18:03 required early voting and required same-day voter registration provisions on official time for union collective bargaining. By the way, that's an interesting point, same-day voter registration. What process needs to take place that is so complicated you have to register months in advance? Maybe checking your driver's license or making sure you actually live in that area. I don't know. I mean, when they sign a petition, they supposedly go over all the names to make sure they're real people. Yeah, well, I'm all for the same day. It's like, oh, I forgot, but I want to vote. We should have some form. Get a driver's license should be enough. Well, they've given driver's licenses away. They found a cache of them with fake ones that they're distributing through different parts of the country. Oh, that's a great idea.

18:57 provisions on official time for union collective bargaining. I don't know what that has got to do with anything. Full offset of airline emissions by 2025. Publication and reporting of greenhouse gas statistics for individual flights. Retirement plans for community newspaper employees. Wow, get the press on your side. Federal $15 minimum wage, permanent paid leave, study on climate change mitigation efforts. I told you this is UN Agenda 2030 stuff. This is the Build Back Better agenda. Yeah, Build Back Better. Although Pelosi

19:43 was actually very happy with the unemployment insurance extension and with the payroll tax cut. Listen to this. On the payroll tax cut, this is necessary because our economy and our people need this boost. For individual families, 160 million American families, this will be a boost. From a macroeconomic standpoint, the demand that is injected into the economy when people spend this money will be a job creator. And again, a temporary measure to help give us a boost. The same as the unemployment insurance extension. Economists tell us that that's an immediate jump

20:25 start to the economy because of the macroeconomic of people getting money, spending it immediately, injecting demand, creating jobs. I think that was really nice that she spoke. Oh, I'm sorry, that was from 2012. Oh yeah. That's when Obama was in office. That's a different situation. It's the same, though. It's the same crap. And guess who was against it then? The Republicans. So please, people, please get a grip on all this stuff. Worst thing ever. It's gonna... No, just like, just like mail-in voting, Debbie Wasserman Schultz was all against it in Florida when it was the Republicans that had the upper hand. It's so cringey.

CHAPTER 07 / 42 Discussion

China Virus Rhetoric, Trump Press Conference Messaging

President Trump continues to frame the pandemic as the "China Virus" or the "virus from China" during press briefings at his New Jersey golf resort. He accuses Democrats of holding relief hostage to pursue radical left-wing policies. During the briefing, he briefly misspoke by saying "Corona" before quickly correcting himself to maintain his specific messaging strategy.

donald trump· china virus· coronavirus· executive relief· messaging

21:09 It's cringy what they all do. Senator, you brought these issues, this Trump presser at his golf club. I have two clips. One of them is the more interesting of the two, but I do want to play this, the Friday on relief and Pelosi, this 54 second clip. My administration continues to work in good faith to reach an agreement with Democrats in Congress that will extend unemployment benefits, provide protections against evictions. The terrible thing happens with evictions. Not fair. It wasn't their fault that we were infected with this disease from China and get relief to American families. Yet, tragically, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer continue to insist on radical left wing policies that have nothing to do with the China virus, nothing to do with it at all. So you have a virus that comes in.

22:05 And you have people in Congress that don't want to help our people. If Democrats continue to hold this critical relief hostage, I will act under my authority as president to get Americans the relief they need. That was been harping he's really changed his tune about the virus is now the China virus or the virus from China. I'm pissed off I didn't clip it but during that I think when he read the executive order he said the Corona Call it whatever you want, China virus. He misspoke and Corona came out much to his horror. Yeah, so he quickly switched. He's good at messaging. I mean, he's got his target and he's going to keep hounding it. Now, there was one thing from that press conference I want to play. This is the TVA part.

CHAPTER 08 / 42 Discussion

Tennessee Valley Authority Layoffs, CEO Salary Controversy

President Trump announced the firing of the Chairman of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) board after learning the utility was laying off American tech workers and forcing them to train lower-cost foreign replacements. Trump criticized the TVA CEO's $8 million annual salary, the highest in the federal government. Following the President's intervention, the TVA reversed course and cancelled all planned layoffs.

tennessee valley authority· tva· donald trump· h1b· layoffs· fdr

22:55 This is news. This is major headline, well not headline but at least front page news. Well we've talked about this particular situation. Several months ago he was complaining about it. Yes and they've taken action. And he talks about it at the press conference and instead of you know, you'd think one of the some outlet would pick it up I didn't hear it anywhere. It wasn't on Democracy Now! She was too busy with Mary Trump making stuff up on the spot. Yeah. Really? Mary Trump is still on television? She still shows up? She just took the whole show on Friday.

23:33 Okay, well not before I play this then I want you to play them the teaser of Amy's teaser Amy tease this is 26 say this is the way democracy now began today We spend the hour with the author of a book President Trump doesn't want you to read it's called too much and too little Is this background music new for them? That's so funky.

24:15 They always had that stupid background music during the teas. Yeah, everybody had boom-baka-da. It's only during the teas. Yeah, yeah. Okay, so this clip, which is... I'm watching this press conference and there's this clip and I'm thinking... and then I started looking around. It's as if... and you're right, we did discuss a harsh part of this. It's as if it was just like, this is like real news. It didn't happen. It just, it didn't happen. Whatever he said, it just, it didn't take place. That's what you think? Yeah. Let's play this. As you know, earlier this week, I met with American workers at the Tennessee Valley Authority who have been laid off by the leadership at the Tennessee Valley Authority. As you know, this is a

25:07 form of utility. It's been around for a long time since FDR and the head person not controlled by government, but it's sort of semi public in a sense gets paid the highest salary in the world of government. It gets $8 million a year. That's not a bad amount of money. It's $8 million a year, and we are not accepting that even though we're not the ones that appoint him or her, but in this case him, we're not accepting somebody getting paid eight million dollars a year. This has been going on for many years. And we will do something about that and we're already in negotiations right now, including possible termination. They and hundreds of their fellow American tech workers, the workers at the TVA,

26:05 We're being terminated from their positions on top of all of this and on top of the eight million dollar salary and a chief of staff who makes much more than a million dollars a year. But on top of all that, they were being terminated from their positions. These incredible people and ordered to train the lower cost foreign workers imported to replace them. How's that for a law? And this was set up originally to create jobs and economic development. And now They're getting fired and they're supposed to train people for a much lower, who get a much lower salary. It's crazy. This was a grave injustice. I fired the chairman of the board in response. On Friday, I fired the chairman of the board along with one other board member. That's the one thing we have. We have the right to fire board members.

27:00 And I made it clear that if they did not swiftly reverse course, I would continue with these firings of the board members. And we just were informed that they have agreed to change course totally. And today, I'm proud to announce that a major victory for the workers of Tennessee and Kentucky and other areas that are covered great states, great states. That the leadership of the TVA has cancelled all of the layoffs and given hundreds of American workers their jobs back. Oh!

CHAPTER 09 / 42 Discussion

H1B Visa Abuse, Government Worker Salaries, Mask Mandate Exceptions

The practice of forcing American workers to train their foreign H1B replacements is discussed as a recurring issue in high-tech and manufacturing sectors. The conversation shifts to the disparity between high government salaries and the private sector. Additionally, a clip shows Trump defending supporters for not wearing masks by citing legal exceptions for "political activity" and "peaceful protests."

h1b visas· carrier· government salaries· masks· peaceful protest· political activity

27:38 I love how he's just taking him out. I took two out, there's three more to go, could take him out. None of this is covered and because it just might make him look good. We should just explain the Tennessee Valley Authority briefly. Before we do that, I do want to mention something. I was stunned when he said that they were firing guys to have them train their replacements. I honestly thought that all ended in the late 90s. No, that was when Trump came in that was one of the first things he did at the, remember the air conditioning plant? We had story after story of people who were saying, what's the word, the C. The carrier. Yeah, carrier. Like, oh, they made us train our replacements here and all the rest went to Mexico. No, this is nuts. This is happening in high tech too.

28:28 But that's where I'll that's the place where I knew the most about it was in high-tech, right? Right. That's what the Indian h1b workers they come in and and then they you get some guy that's paid I don't know 110 thousand dollars a year and you replace it with a guy paying 60,000. Yeah, and it seems like a good idea if you can get away with it and they force the guy to train the new guy. That's the cruel part. That's so cruel. So yeah, this is a weird organization though. It was part of the fixing everything after the Great Depression. Yeah, it was one of the three-letter word operations set up by Roosevelt. Yeah, so can't we just get rid of all that or is it... No, it's actually a power company. It's a major power company. Yes, I know, but can't we just force them to sell it to a new entity?

29:20 Then the guy would get the 8 million for sure. Yeah, it wasn't so the 8 million is like, whatever. Well, for a public utility, it's crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy. Yeah. For a guy that works for the government making 8 million dollars and his chief of staff, you're giving him a million. A lot of. But the thing is, government workers have been making more money than the private sector for some years now. By quite a bit. And that never used to be the case. The government work was something you'd fall back on. It wasn't something you'd go make a career out of. It's a good career move these days. Come on, get in, stay forever.

29:56 Yeah. So, thank you. That is something you probably won't hear much about on the M5M. What you will see is this. This is about them not wearing masks inside or not enough. You're wrong on that because it's a political activity. They have exceptions, political activity, and it's also a peaceful protest. So when you have been, as you know... They asked if they could be here.

30:35 You know, they a number of me, they look like they all have pretty much all have masks on. But, you know, you have an exclusion in the law. It says peaceful protests or political activity, right? In fact, specifically, yeah, it says exactly political activity or peaceful protest. And you could call it political activity. But I call it peaceful protests because they heard you were coming up and they know the news is fake. They understand it better than anybody. Yeah, that's what gets all the play. Nobody talks about the TV. Exactly. You know, the cartoon, the carnival. Exactly. Yeah. What's about them? Well, yes. In fact, it's almost as bad as... Oh, my God, this was really sick. Since it is still kind of COVID related, it's about Fauci. And Alison Camerera, Cameron Allison from CNN,

CHAPTER 10 / 42 Discussion

Anthony Fauci CNN Interview, Brad Pitt Emmy Nomination

CNN's Alison Camerota interviewed Dr. Anthony Fauci, focusing on Brad Pitt's Emmy nomination for portraying him on Saturday Night Live. Fauci expressed admiration for Pitt but declined the suggestion of appearing on stage at the Emmy Awards, citing the ongoing pandemic and the need to remain focused on his professional duties. The hosts criticize the interview for its "fan-girl" tone and lack of substantive questioning.

anthony fauci· brad pitt· cnn· alison camerota· emmy· saturday night live

31:32 I think she's the one that asked Fauci if he would want Brad Pitt to play him on Saturday Night Live. And of course that happened. And so I guess she's all jacked and jitty and jizzing all over Fauci as he's on CNN. Listen to this. Dr. Fauci, great to see you again. Allison here. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. I'm a journalist. Hi. Hi. Hi. I have been listening with rapt attention, but I feel like John didn't get to the really burning question. Oh, what could the burning question be? I mean, the man's not busy. America has for you, and that is, did you hear that Brad was nominated for an Emmy for playing you? Oh, no!

32:23 Yes, I did. What a surreal world we're living in, Allison. I mean, I hope he wins. He's a great actor. I mean, he's one of my favorite actors, so I really do hope he wins. Have you spoken to him since he played you? You know I have not. I would love to meet him because I've been such a great admirer of him and his talents, but I have not spoken to him. I feel like we can make that happen, Dr. Fauci. Because she's the dream maker Allison is. She makes things happen. I feel like we, you know, you and I have the power to have you meet Brad because I sort of feel like anything you and I suggest he does.

33:02 How sad is this? Well, we'll see. We'll see. He's appropriately embarrassed. He's trying to get out of it. Thanks, Allison. I'm not done with you, Dr. Fauci. Would you like to go up on stage when he wins? Would you like to be there to help accept the Emmy Award? What is this interview? I know! Listen, Fauci's even annoyed by it. Listen to this. ...to help accept the Emmy Award. Yeah, what is that? Yeah, okay, you know I'll see the only reason I have hesitancy about that

33:38 is that we're in the middle of an outbreak. Okay, bring it back Fauci. And I think that if that association with kind of show business thing might be misinterpreted that it's I'm not serious about what I'm doing. So I'd rather focus on my job and really wish him well that he wins. I I was afraid there was going to be a point that I pushed you too far. And doesn't stop. We have just gotten up to that point. But we really appreciate how playful you have been on the lighter note with all of that. And it was just great. I mean, it was just a great moment. Great. So fabulous. It is a fan of yours and all of your information as well. He's a fan of all your information. She's Lady.

CHAPTER 11 / 42 Discussion

Judy Woodruff Pelosi Interview, PBS NewsHour Confrontation

During a PBS NewsHour segment, Nancy Pelosi accused journalist Judy Woodruff of being an "advocate" for Republicans after Woodruff questioned the necessity of additional state and local government funding. The hosts discuss Woodruff's perceived lack of pushback against Pelosi's accusations, comparing it to previous instances where she was intimidated by political figures like Al Gore.

judy woodruff· nancy pelosi· pbs newshour· state funding· journalism

34:28 Almost as good as this exchange between Judy Woodruff and Nancy Pelosi. This was Friday, I think just before the president did his first threatening announcement, including the TVA announcement actually. And Judy boils it all down from PBS NewsHour. She boils it all down to, well, the Republicans don't want a trillion dollars for states. here's what happened the other point republicans are making is they are now showing flexibility in money for state and local governments this is again a difference democrats want more money republicans want

35:07 a lot less. They are saying they're willing to show flexibility and they're also saying a lot of the money that was passed in the spring, Madam Speaker, has not even been spent yet. Well, if you want to be an advocate for them, Judy, if you want to be an advocate for them, let's know what the facts are. I'm playing devil's advocate here to ask you for your position. That's, that's, what an accusation towards Judy for Pelosi to say, if you want to What did she say? Did she say carry on? She wanted to be an advocate. An advocate for them. That's, I mean, this is a journalist? She should have pushed back a little harder. A little harder, yeah. I have great respect for you. I have great respect for you. But she should have, you know, I'm not here to be insulted kind of thing, but she couldn't probably pull that off. I mean, if you remember, she's the one who got pushed around by Al Gore on that one clip. Judy is... No, there is no other side to the argument. Judy is surprisingly lightweight when it comes to confrontation.

CHAPTER 12 / 42 Discussion

World Economic Forum, The Great Reset, Klaus Schwab

The World Economic Forum (WEF) officially launched "The Great Reset," a global initiative led by Professor Klaus Schwab to reshape the world order following the COVID-19 crisis. Schwab describes the pandemic as a "unique window of opportunity" to address social cohesion, inequality, and climate change. The presentation emphasizes a new social contract and the utilization of technologies from the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

klaus schwab· world economic forum· the great reset· davos· fourth industrial revolution· global order

36:07 I'd expect her to be a lot better. Yeah, well she's probably 90. I don't know how old she is. Oh, not that old. She's no spring chicken. So the next phase of this in the globalist build back better Biden New World Order group comes to us as brought to my attention because I have been paying attention to their website remember the World Economic Forum they had this whole we read it on the air I think about the the great reset and what's coming and what they're going to do and this is a great opportunity you recall that just reading from their website yeah this has been tossed around a bit so on noagendasocial.com professor were and

36:59 and Lady J, they found a Zoom video, basically a Zoom call for reptiles, and it is the World Economic Forum, the Great Reset presentation, where they are going to tell us what is coming next as it relates to the coronavirus, they use a number of words, but of course the crisis would be the one. And I have a couple clips from it and I think it's good to listen because this is pretty much I think what Joe Biden is going for, but in general this is where most leaders of the world will start pushing this crisis towards. And we start with Adrian Monk.

37:47 He'll give us a little intro to the Zoom call and tell us what we can expect. Hello from the World Economic Forum in Geneva. My name is Adrian Monk and I'll be moderating today's session. Welcome to this virtual meeting which has brought together leaders and stakeholders from across the global community for our COVID Action Platform. Today, this meeting serves as a launchpad for the next chapter, the Great Reset. We have contributions from His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, from UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, from IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva, and from many more in the next hour and a quarter. But to get us underway, let's hear from the Forum's Executive Chairman and Founder, Professor Klaus Schwab. So Klaus.

38:35 And if you're not familiar with Klaus, you gotta look up Klaus Schwab. He is, now he's a... He can't help it, but with the bald head, I mean, he just looks like an evil guy, like Dr. Evil. But they've shot him with this blue backdrop. He's on a platform in a chair and they shoot it from underneath. So all he's missing is a white pussycat. He has the most grotesque, he is like Dr. Evil and of course the accent didn't help. Thank you Adrian. It is obvious that we are in the midst of the most severe crisis the world has experienced in history. Hold on a second.

39:21 I knew you'd like it. First of all, is this whole thing not a scam? Is this really a true meeting? I mean, Adrian Monk starts it off because Adrian Monk, of course, is the character in the TV show Monk, who is some sort of a... That's the guy's name. Yeah, I realize that. Obsessive-compulsive character. And then they got this Dr. Evil guy shot like Dr. Evil from below. It's Klaus Schwab. It's the guy from the World Economic Forum. They're not Davos. He's not a scam. No, I appreciate you asking that. Now, this is, I can verify it comes from their website. The World Economic Forum is the Davos crowd. Klaus Schwab, it's his party. They're out of control. Oh, you're just starting to hear the beginning. They need an art director.

40:10 The world has experienced since World War II. 75 years ago, countries and people came together to shape The post-war global order. Oh, global order! Decades of peace, increased global cooperation and prosperity to hundreds of millions of people around the world. It was good what we did then, yeah? The COVID-19 crisis. The COVID-19... This guy just asked us... This sounds like a clip from Hogan's Heroes. Hogan! The COVID-19 crisis. It is the guy. You gotta look it up.

40:51 You gotta see a picture of this guy on his pedestal. To hundreds of millions of people around the world. The COVID-19 crisis has shown us that our old systems are not fit anymore for the 21st century. It has laid bare the fundamental lack of social cohesion, fairness, inclusion and equality. Are you catching on? It sounds like we need some equality, fairness, hmmm. Now is the historical moment, the time, not only to fight the real virus but to shape the system. Ah, shape the system. For the need for the post-corona era.

41:35 We have a choice to remain passive, which would lead to the amplification of many of the trends we see today, such as polarization, nationalism, racism, Oh, I see. So all of that is only enhanced by the coronavirus, the COVID-19 crisis. And ultimately increased social unrest and conflicts. But we have another choice. We can build a new social contract. Particularly integrating the next generation. We can change our behavior to be in harmony with nature again and we can make sure that the technologies of the fourth industrial revolution are best utilized to provide us with better lives.

42:30 We need a great reset. A great reset is what we need. We have to mobilize all constituents of our global society to work together. We must not miss this unique window of opportunity. We must not miss this unique window of global opportunity. So let's go to the Secretary General of the United Nations. This is another one of our favorites. This is Antonio Guatadas. He's at the meeting? Well, they're all on the Zoom. So he's at the same Zoom meeting? Well, he's in the meeting, yes. This is all one big Zoom meeting. It's really interesting to watch.

CHAPTER 13 / 42 Discussion

UN Secretary General, Runaway Climate Change, Global Stimulus

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres joined the WEF Zoom call to advocate for the Great Reset, citing "runaway climate change" and the "fragility" of global systems. Guterres called for a global economic stimulus package equivalent to a double-digit percentage of the world's GDP. He linked the recovery efforts directly to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

antonio guterres· united nations· climate change· global economy· agenda 2030· fragility

43:12 And here is his pitch. I send you my warmest greetings and best wishes on the launch of the Great Reset. The COVID-19 pandemic is causing enormous human suffering and economic hardship. A microscopic virus has closed down entire countries and economies. In doing so, it has exposed the fragility that characterizes much of our world. But this fragility is not confined to health systems. Interesting that the word fragility is used. since we just happen to have the white fragility book and everything it's interesting that that's being applied to our systems in this case. Runaway climate change, unsustainable levels of inequality. I'm sorry, we're climate change. Wait, did he say runaway climate change? Let's listen again. ...virus has closed down entire countries and economies. In doing so,

44:04 It has exposed the fragility that characterizes much of our world. But this fragility is not confined to health systems, runaway climate change, unsustainable levels of... I think he did say runaway climate change. Yeah, I knew there was climate change, but I didn't know it was runaway climate change. That's new. Let's see. But this fragility is not confined to health systems, runaway climate change, unsustainable levels of inequality, and the lawlessness of cyberspace are all warning signs that we must heed. The Great Reset is a welcome recognition that this human tragedy must be a wake-up call. As you rightly say, it is imperative that

44:52 You mean by that do you mean it gets worse? Yes, it's better for the entertainment value on the show is what I mean. As you rightly say, it is imperative that we reimagine, rebuild, redesign, reinvigorate and rebalance our world. Rebalance the world! So maybe it is flat. The scale of the pandemic and its social and economic impact demands strong unity and solidarity, particularly towards developing countries. Specific measures must be targeted at those most affected. Women, older people, youths, low wage workers, the informal sector and people caught up in humanitarian crisis. Rebalancing investment, harnessing science and technology

45:39 and advancing the transition to net zero emissions, all elements of the Great Reset are fundamental to building the future we need. We have already called for an economic stimulus package equivalent to a double-digit percentage. This part I didn't understand. So the UN is, when they say we've already called for an economic stimulus package in double-digit percentage, what does that mean? That everybody in, that all countries are supposed to do that? Or does it mean the bankers print up some money? Okay, they want the United States to give him more money. Ah, that's what it is. I figured that's the great gouge the great reset Proceeds reset the great guy All elements of the great reset are fundamental to building the future we need We have already called for an economic stimulus package equivalent to a double-digit percentage more than 10% of the global economy last week United Nations to get

46:34 We need 10% of the global economy, America. Give it to us. 10% of the global economy. Last week, the United Nations together with the governments of Jamaica and Canada convened the largest gathering of world leaders since the start of the pandemic to lay solid foundations for a sustainable recovery based on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. There it is. There you go. So he's all over the 20th. I want to stop for a second because we get some criticism, but you hear it all the time. Oh, people, they're always bringing that up as if they're not actually throwing it in our faces. You mean like the New World Order and the elites and the money people and the United Nations and all this Kumbaya globalism? Yeah, this is it. And they throw it in. They always bring this 2030 up. We bring it. You know, they say, well, all the right wingers are always referring to it as though it's something real.

CHAPTER 14 / 42 Discussion

Prince Charles, Sustainable Markets, Catalytic Breakthroughs

Prince Charles addressed the WEF, arguing that the threat of climate change surpasses even that of COVID-19. He called for a transformation of the global market to align sustainable solutions with funding, urging the private sector to take a leadership role. He described the current crisis as a "golden opportunity" to shock the public into accepting big visions of global change.

prince charles· climate change· sustainability· private sector· cop26· global crisis

47:29 Well, because it is real. The guy just said it right there. So we want to take 10% of the global economy, do with it what they want. For equality. For some sort of equality they're not going to achieve. And then try to gouge us for the majority of it. Yes, the majority of it. After all, we can throw trillions away. Well, it gets better. This is disgusting listening to these people. You've made me sick. Okay, well grab your barf bag. Here's Prince Charles. These are unprecedented times. If you've seen these interviews with this poor bastard, this guy is so out of touch with reality. He roams around the grounds talking about flowers and planting and gardening. The guy is a borderline moron.

48:22 It's very distinguished, you know, it has a lot of important things to say about everything. These are unprecedented times. Every time person on the planet has been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. Our world came to a standstill and it became clear that we did not have the answer or the mechanisms to address such an unprecedented global threat. The threats posed by this dreadful pandemic came upon us suddenly with very little warning. Be quiet, he's talking about this dreadful pandemic, you do nothing but just mumbling through it.

49:00 The threat of climate change has been- Oh my! He's gone- Within 10 seconds he's gone straight to climate change! The pandemic came upon us suddenly with very little warning. The threat of climate change has been more gradual, but its devastating reality for many people and their livelihoods around the world, and its ever greater potential to disrupt, surpasses even that of Covid-19. So let this be a lesson to you. This crisis has shown the importance of investing in science, technology, innovation. We are on the verge of catalytic breakthroughs

49:37 that will alter our view of what is possible and profitable within the framework of a sustainable future. It is time, therefore, to align sustainable solutions with funding in a way that can transform the market. This would be the most dramatic act of responsible leadership ever seen by the global private sector and would at once provide a catalytic incentive for the public sector to follow. Does this remind you at all about some of those Democrat points that were in the HEROES Act that is now being argued over. It's exactly the same thing. The Democrats are all in on this. Let's destroy the whole system so we can be better off. We continue with His Royal Highness. We have a golden opportunity to seize something good from this crisis. Oh! Its unprecedented shockwaves may well make people more receptive to big visions of change and global crises like pandemics

50:40 and climate change, no borders, and highlight just how interdependent we are as one people sharing one planet. Oh, that's interesting. This shocks people. This is a shock to people. So they're going to shock them awake. They're going to want to shock them into climate change. We need only look to the United Nations Secretary General, to the IMF, the EU, There's Petersburg Climate Dialogue, the Canadian government, the COP26 universities network and business leaders around the world to see this. And as we move from rescue to recovery, therefore we have a unique but rapidly shrinking window of opportunity to learn lessons and reset ourselves on a more sustainable path. It is an opportunity we have never had before and may never have again. So we must use all the levers we have at our disposal, knowing that each and every one of us has a vital role to play. So I can only encourage us all to think big and act now.

CHAPTER 15 / 42 Discussion

Mastercard CEO, Private-Public Trust, Data Analytics

Ajay Banga, CEO of Mastercard, discussed the necessity of private sector ingenuity and capital in addressing global social and economic needs. He highlighted partnerships with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Wellcome Trust, specifically mentioning a "therapeutic accelerator." Banga emphasized the use of data and analytics to direct human activity and the importance of building trust between the public and private sectors.

ajay banga· mastercard· bill gates· wellcome trust· data analytics· digital wellness

51:39 Think big. So there's a whole bunch of phrase. Think big, act now. The lady from the IMF came by, she talked, you know, and it went back and forth. There's only one one last clip I have and I thought... Luckily, I want to say luckily for all of us listening and everybody out there, this is a group of the biggest blowhards that probably can't accomplish anything. So, man. Right. But they certainly have influence. I'm looking at the European Union. The European Union's all in on this. They're passing laws left and right to support this entire idea. And the Great Reset, you watch this term start floating around. This is a Great Reset. So one guy that was, to me, very out of character, but clearly a partner in the Great Reset team, was a representative from Mastercard.

52:35 I thought that was interesting so I clipped him. The person I'm going to turn to first, Ajay Banga of Mastercard, Chief Executive Officer of Mastercard. Ajay, what do we need to see from a business perspective to address this pressing social and economic need for change that this pandemic has really laid bare? Is this the kind of guy who's supposed to answer this type of question? I guess. I would think he'd be more interested in it. You know, EBITDA returns and some other tax aspects, profit loss. Nah, he's got a couple things in here. MasterCard is doing more than just managing your credit card. You know, I've been saying for a while that the world's problems fit on three sides of a triangle.

53:23 Oh, no. Oh, three. What is this a Silicon Valley like expression? It sounds like it is. I've never heard it, but it probably is. The problems fit on three sides of the triangle. That's the prism you should look through. We just talked about them. It's one versus many. Oh, it's one of these Indian guys. Yes. We did that and now we've upped it to a billion and added that we will bring in 50 million micro SMEs and 25 million women entrepreneurs, all part of that one market share. Oh yeah. This is many side of the triangle. We tried to use our presence with consumers to say, what is it consumers understand? They don't understand carbon credits, but they understand the planting of trees. Why am I saying all this?

54:27 In the process of doing all this, we've come to two lessons and that's the answer to your question. There is not enough money in government or philanthropy to make it possible to deal with the three sides of this triangle. You need private sector capital, private sector ingenuity, private sector technology, and private sector capabilities to come to the party. We have to make it part of our business model, which were those two examples I gave you of inclusion and climate. You need enormous trust between the private sector and the public sector. You have to stop for a second. Some of these Indian guys, I mean, the whole country is kind of very adept.

55:10 that's talking like this and sounding like they're saying something when they're really not when they're really absolutely nothing is going on and on and say we and it's just like he's got he's getting out of this like smelling like a rose because he sounds like he said something but this is just a guru style bull crap yes that that a lot of indians can do very well oh malik Well, yeah, well, Holmes is not at this level. This guy's, this guy's, he's at the top of his game. He really is good. He's the top of it. I think many in our, in our, uh, many of our producers will be listening going, yep, I know that kind of guy.

55:49 Yeah. Yeah. Well, you know what? If you're thinking that you're racist. Those two examples I gave you of inclusion and climate. You need enormous trust between the private sector and the public sector for this to actually work. That trust is hard to come by. Stand by because I'm going to tell you what the trust is all about. What I have seen during the course of the pandemic is some light at the end of the tunnel on the trust. The private sector and governments are working and the NGO sector are working really well together. Whether it's the therapeutic accelerator we launched with Gates and the Wellcome Trust or the work I see on SMEs around the world. So Emmett, the therapeutic accelerator we launched with Gates. What the hell is that? Well, an accelerator is, the way I understand it in this context,

56:41 is they, it's like an incubator for biotech firms. Yeah, it's an incubator accelerator. Yeah, so you get the accelerator and then everyone cashes in on it. Gates, Mastercard, it's groovy. And the NGO sector. The scam is what you're saying. I'll wait for it. Are working really well together. Whether it's the therapeutic accelerator we launched with Gates and the Wellcome Trust or the work I see on SMEs around the world or benefit distribution and the use of data and analytics for purposes of directing activity. I don't know. I think he said, I'm not sure if it's the welcome trust. He's talking about trust tonight and I think I know. No, no, no, no. You go back where he says the therapeutic accelerator launched by Gates and the welcome trust. I have seen during the course of the pandemic is some light at the end of the tunnel on the trust.

57:52 The private sector and governments are working and the enormous trust between the private sector and the public sector for this to actually work. That trust is hard to come by. What I have seen during the course of the pandemic is some light at the end of the tunnel on the trust. The private sector and governments are working and the NGO sector are working really well together. Whether it's the therapeutic accelerator we launched with Gates and the Wellcome Trust or the work I see on SMEs around the world, or benefit distribution and the use of data and analytics for purposes of directing activity. Using user data for purposes of directing activity. I think we understand what that means.

58:40 tracking your behavior... Imagine Google for God's sake! Tracking your behavior and then nudging you in the direction they want you to go with messaging. Right. When you do a search, you get the search they want you to see. Yeah, that kind of stuff. I think this issue of bringing the private sector to the party and bringing it in a way that the trust between the private and the public sector come together. Those are imperative for us if we're going to make real progress on moving the needle and seizing the opportunity that we just heard about. OK, so let me explain what I know he's doing. I didn't know about the Wellcome Trust, but yeah, that's big news.

CHAPTER 16 / 42 Discussion

West Africa Biometric Identity, Gavi Vaccine Alliance, TrustStamp

A new biometric identity platform is being rolled out in West Africa through a partnership between the Gavi Vaccine Alliance, Mastercard, and TrustStamp. The system links COVID-19 vaccination records with cashless payment systems and potential law enforcement applications. This "Trust Stamp" is compared to the Chinese social credit system, raising concerns about the future of digital surveillance and mandatory health tracking.

gavi· mastercard· truststamp· west africa· biometric identity· social credit

59:20 So a master, there's a couple of headlines. Mastercard digital wellness program to enhance transparency, security and choice for online shopping. You really need to look at African news, African news to understand what they're rolling out and what is in beta tests on the continent of Africa. Africa to become testing ground for the trust stamp vaccine record and payment system. A new biometric identity platform partnered with the Gates-funded Gavi Vaccine Alliance. That's where the Wellcome Trust is, that's where the Gates Foundation is, that's where the vaccine companies are. The Gavi Vaccine Alliance and Mastercard will launch in West Africa and combine COVID-19 vaccinations, cashless payments, and potential law enforcement applications.

1:00:13 A biometric digital identity platform that evolves just as you evolve is set to be introduced in low-income remote communities in West Africa thanks to a public-private partnership between the Bill Gates-backed Gavi Vaccine Alliance, Mastercard, and the AI-powered identity authentication company TrustStamp. I don't have to explain what this does. This proves that you've had the vaccine, and it's a part of your credit card. The thing you use for everything. Hey, want to go to the stadium? Pay with your credit card. I'm sorry, you don't have a trust stamp. This is a roundabout way of what the Chinese are doing with their social scoring. Rarely a day goes by that my lovely wife doesn't say to me, we're becoming China! And I can't disagree anymore.

CHAPTER 17 / 42 Discussion

Hong Kong Sanctions, Carrie Lam, US Banking Squeeze

The U.S. government has imposed sanctions on 11 high-ranking Hong Kong and mainland Chinese officials, including Chief Executive Carrie Lam, for their roles in suppressing local protests. While some officials mocked the sanctions, the move effectively freezes their access to the U.S. banking system. Reports indicate that some banks in Hong Kong have already begun closing accounts for the targeted individuals to avoid U.S. regulatory complications.

carrie lam· hong kong· sanctions· magnitsky act· beijing· banking

1:01:11 This is totally what it... and I think it's great that the president issued this... I mean the TikTok thing, who gives a crap about that, but WeChat? Oh yeah, I mean that has to go. We're not allowed to have any... Twitter, that's not allowed in China? What's happened? I have the story, I have the ironic report. Okay, let's listen to... Where is it? Well, let's see where it is. It got me out of order here, so I'm kind of having trouble. I'm having nothing but trouble. Sanctions targets? Yeah. France 24? Well, let's try this. This is good anyway. Hong Kong... Unless you got more. I still want to hear more if there's more from that Zoom conference. No, that's all that I pulled from the Zoom conference. It gets kind of repetitive, but I wanted to understand that there's this link between

1:02:06 MasterCard, the United Nations, Gavi, the vaccine guys, and as usual, which Gates has been doing for 20 years, they're rolling it out in Africa. Hey kids, we're back! Look at this shiny new credit card. Yum! Okay, yeah, we'll play this sanctions thing. Well, 11 people are targeted. Five of those are members of Carrie Lam's cabinet. Okay, stop, stop, stop. That's not it. This is about to try. This is a good clip, though, about the targeting of these guys, because Trump's done that because Biden says Trump's not doing anything. He's not doing it. Tell me, tell me what this is.

1:02:49 Oh, Trump has done... you know this stunt we've been pulling over the years where instead of sanctioning the country you sanction the bigwigs? Yeah, the Magnitsky Act. Yeah, that kind of thing. Yeah, like you get on a list and you can't come in idea. Plus other problems. Well, they're doing the same, Trump is doing the same thing to a bunch of Hong Kongers and executives, including Carrie Lam. And so they're poo-pooing it. And the French report, we can play this and I can look for the other clip, which is unfortunate. I couldn't find right off the bat. I'll be irked if I don't have, if I can't find it because it's a very good clip.

1:03:29 OK, let's play the Hong Kong sanctions targets and then I'll look harder. Well, 11 people are targeted. Five of those are members of Carrie Lam's cabinet, including the chief executive herself. Another two are the current police commissioner Chris Tang and his predecessor Stephen Low, who handed the reins over during the Polytechnic University siege last November. And the remaining four are employees of the central government. They are all mainlanders and they are all employed either on the mainland or Hong Kong side in liaison between the local Hong Kong government and Beijing. We also have, as you said there, the Hong Kong government has responded fairly strongly to these sanctions which are

1:04:19 in response not to the national security law per se but to the oppression of protests over the past year. The Hong Kong government has called them shameless and despicable and it has also called them barbarous. Okay so they've done this and they've made the point that so what, what difference does it make? And in part two of this clip he explains what the problems really are if you get one of these things laid on you. The effect is unlikely to be immediate. It's not clear whether any of the 11 people have assets in the US that might be frozen. In fact, one of those, Luo Huining, who is the head of the Beijing liaison office in Hong Kong, derisively said that he has no assets and he said that he offered to send Donald Trump 100 US dollars so that it

1:05:08 could be frozen. Carrie Lam herself has said previously that it would have no effect on hers. However, the extent of these sanctions can be very far reaching. So a little bit further down the line it might make life difficult for these people, particularly if they want to do banking with any financial institution that has operations in the US. Carrie Lam herself has already, members of Carrie Lam's government have already said even before now that certain banks based in Hong Kong don't want anything to do with them and one has reported an account was forcibly closed.

CHAPTER 19 / 42 Discussion

WeChat Ban, Tencent Investments, Chinese Diaspora Impact

President Trump's executive order banning transactions with WeChat has raised concerns among the Chinese diaspora regarding communication with family in China. The ban also threatens the business interests of companies like Apple and Tencent, the latter of which has significant stakes in major gaming studios and Reddit. The hosts note the irony of China complaining about the ban when U.S. platforms like Facebook and Twitter are already prohibited in China.

wechat· tencent· donald trump· apple· gaming· reddit

1:07:17 You can go over there, you can walk out and kick it. They charge $1.50 for the air. $1.50? That's a joke. Just drive into any garage and they'll give you air for free. Six quarters. Six quarters. Thanks for the tip. Anyway, yes, so no coins. All right, so we're talking about WeChat. Yes. And it's a nightmare. So here's the, this is, and this is what's funny about it, is what you were alluding to. Listen to, play this clip, executive order banning WeChat. subtext here is that the United States is discriminating against Chinese companies because it is afraid of China's economic might. But really these executive orders are raising a lot of questions because of their sort of vague wording, especially the term transaction, which has not been specified here. A lot of questions raised, especially about the WeChat app.

1:08:08 which is basically used for everything in daily life here in China by close to a billion people. So people in the United States with a lot ties to China, the Chinese diaspora, are wondering if they're going to be able to communicate with their family back home. home. People with business interests in China are wondering if they're going to be able to do financial transactions using the payment app over WeChat. Companies like Apple that have significant business in China are wondering if WeChat is no longer available in the App Store, what does that mean for its business? Or, for instance, Tencent, the company that owns WeChat, has a number of stakes in U.S.

1:08:48 companies like gaming companies what will it mean for that sector specifically so over the next 45 days the Commerce Secretary of the United States has promised clarification on what this word transaction means but Beijing has already promised retaliation but it's not clear what this is going to look like considering the fact that US tech companies like Facebook Google or Twitter are already banned in China. Exactly It's your irony. Yeah. So everyone's making a big fuss. Hey, this should be retaliation for them being banned. But there are better clips. I didn't get any myself. But what you want is, he's hurting Chinese-Americans. They can't connect with their family in China through the WeChat. They can't send money back home. Yeah, well, that's exactly how they're playing it. It's crazy. And none of our, I don't think any of our apps are allowed.

1:09:46 But really, forget WeChat, although I think WeChat is quite an evil platform, at least the way the CCP uses it. Tencent is interesting because they have their hands in everything. I think they should divest of their Reddit investment. The gamers are very worried about this. They own large stakes in most of the big gaming studios and companies. And you know what, while we're at it, shut down the NBA. That's already... shut down what? There's not much left to shut down, yeah. The ratings are horrible.

Beirut Port Explosion, Lebanon Protests, Chinese Peacekeepers

Following the massive ammonium nitrate explosion in Beirut, protesters in Lebanon are calling for the government to be toppled. President Michel Aoun has rejected calls for an international investigation, suggesting the port may have been attacked. Meanwhile, China is sending "peacekeepers" to Lebanon, a move seen as an attempt to secure its interests in the port as part of the Belt and Road Initiative.

1:10:28 Who's gonna watch these stupid games? Yeah, they're like exhibition games you get and then you gotta look at all the messages on the back of different you vote I Say who's this new player vote? No, the other guy was bill vote is he's now playing in the NBA didn't know this I like the white guy with ally on his t-shirt the one white guy your favorite Joe ally Joe ally Joe Jal I Yeah meanwhile over in Beirut. Things are kicking off and I smell a rat. Today, protesters in Lebanon are calling for a sustained uprising to topple the government, days after the horrific explosion that leveled parts of Beirut and killed more than 150 people. On Saturday, anger boiled over with demonstrators battling police in riot gear who fired tear gas and rubber bullets. The country's prime minister has offered early elections, but many local leaders say that is not enough.

1:11:29 So here's what you didn't see because we don't have video. Protestors unfurling gigantic professional, I mean gigantic, we're talking 30 foot drop down from a balcony banner that says revolution lives here. Yeah I I have one Lebanon clip we can play and then talk about it. Yeah, give it to me. The investigation refused? Yeah, this is kind of interesting. ...calls for an international investigation into what caused the explosion in Beirut. One of the French president's key demands during his visit on Thursday have already been rejected by the Lebanese president, who says an international inquiry would dilute the truth.

1:12:13 Further complicating matters, he's raised the possibility the port was attacked, the first time a top Lebanese official has done so. Michel Aoun has nevertheless pledged swift justice. When it was revealed that a large shipment of ammonium nitrate had been sitting in a warehouse for years, many Lebanese people saw this as proof of the negligence of the ruling class. Meanwhile, responding to claims that Hezbollah might have stored explosives at the port, the group's leader denied they exercised any power there. A team of French investigators are already involved to help the Lebanese investigation. They say what they've found so far indicates an accident.

1:12:56 Regardless, the Chinese have been trying to get into the port to build as part of their Belt and Road for quite a while. They were very close. I think they were signed up. Wasn't that port signed up for Belt and Road? Last year they did sign an agreement, but nothing had really started. Last year's also kind of when the problem started by coincidence. I'm sure in in Lebanon people not happy There's all kinds of you know, the Prime Minister's blown up. He's missing previous to this There's an investigation that's been stopped and meanwhile China is sending I love this term peacekeepers to help Lebanon so, you know whenever

1:13:43 The United States or Russia or the United Nations, but certainly when China is sending you peacekeepers, it's usually the beginning of nothing good. And it's perfect for them. It's a perfect location. Maybe they should send in like a lot of them and clean up the mess. I think there's a lot in there already. I mean, we basically sent three transport planes because screw it, we don't want any part of it. At least that's what I see. So hey, we want to help but you can go ahead and have your Chinese friends do that. The people are flipping out. People are... I did do a search on Victoria Nuland to see if she had anything to do with this. I came up empty. Good. I appreciate that you tried. That's very good. I did. That's very good.

Justin Trudeau WE Charity Scandal, Margaret Trudeau Speech

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing a scandal involving the WE Charity, which reportedly paid his family members for appearances. A clip is played of Trudeau's mother, Margaret Trudeau, giving a short speech for which she was allegedly paid $250,000. The hosts mock the content of the speech, which focused on mental health and "eating kale," as being of little value for the high fee paid by the charity.

justin trudeau· margaret trudeau· we charity· canada· mental health· scandal

1:14:36 Yeah, the capital of the revolution, that's what the banner said. And it has the socialist fist, which is the same as the Black Lives Matter fist. It's all a color revolution. Red, purple, black. That's what's happening all around the world. Pay attention, 10% of the world GDP has to go into this. Everyone's working on it. Mastercard's your friend. Mastercard your friend! I did pick up, following up on another globalist New World Order story, we played the clip of the Candanavia's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau being grilled over money that was going from the WE charity into the pockets of his family members and even possibly himself and he was about to approve a huge new budget of government money going to the WE charity. I think it was nine hundred

1:15:43 Was it 900 million dollars, which I think is $1.80 in US? But it was a lot of money. And so that's a scandal. And of course we don't hear about that here because Canada's fantastic. There's no people protesting against masks in Canada. Oh, I'm sorry. There actually are. But I have evidence of the $250,000 that went to Justin Trudeau's mom. And I think this is one of the biggest controversies. And he defended her by saying, hey, it's her work and her life's work. And she's been doing so much with the charity. And she has kind of an interesting past with celebrities and both in entertainment and the political on the political stage. It is said, in fact, that Trudeau looks very much like his real dad, Castro. But you put a side by side that guy. Oh, yeah. He's just like Castro.

1:16:46 So she got $250,000 for a hold- wait for it- two and a half minute speech. Yeah, yeah. Have you seen the speech? No, do you have a copy? I have the speech right here and I'll only play a minute and a half just to whet your appetite. This is Justin Trudeau's mom. Every minute of this is worth A thousand dollars? No. No, no, no. A hundred thousand. A hundred thousand. Two hundred fifty thousand, this is at least a grand and a half of it. I think this might even be better than Canada Day the day after because you know looking as we're looking forward

1:17:37 now. And you all, the youth of our country, we're going to be turning it over to you pretty soon. And I have such hope. I'm so proud to be a Canadian. I'm so proud to be part of WE as well. Now WE, I love it the most because it is neither a political movement nor a religious one. WE encompasses All politicians, all political parties, and I'm getting paid royally for it! All faiths, all beliefs, because we feel that together we can change the world. And we know we can! So here I am a mental health advocate. I really expected her to say, I'm a mental health patient, but it didn't... I was waiting for her to say that.

1:18:30 I am a mental health advocate. I can't miss the opportunity of preaching a little bit. Like eat kale, not donuts. Which is also my ISO end of show suggestion. Like eat kale, not donuts. This is a new one. Let's eat kale, not donuts. Get a good night's sleep. Make your brain the healthiest brain you could have by treating it so well. Exercise, sleep, good food and go forward. And if you run into any troubles,

1:19:09 We all will. I did. Please reach out for help. I finally did. I got my life back. Uh-huh. And I think... You're an idiot. Did you... that was the second part of it? No, that's a minute and a half. That's... you don't want to hear any... Oh, there's more? Oh, no, I don't have any more. I didn't click the whole thing. Oh, no, no, no. You're giving the whole $250,000 worth. No, no, no, no. You're only getting the buck fifty. Oh, well. Isn't that no wonder there's an outrage? Yeah, I would think. I mean that by the way, I want her agent. Her agents is Justin. Good point. Oh man. All right. Well, I've got a COVID death update from Amy because she twists the numbers and does everything cumulatively. So the number of people that have ever been diagnosed as positive stays on the list.

1:20:14 Then we'll wrap it up. And she makes a huge difference the way she does it, compared to the way Trump handles the same numbers. It's very funny how you can take these numbers and make them sound any way you want. Here we go. The U.S. death toll currently stands at 160,000, by far the highest total in the world. On Thursday, the United States recorded more than 2,000 new coronavirus deaths, the highest daily figure since May. And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who just put the C in the COVID deaths update, John C. Dvorak. Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry. Also in the morning, all ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there. In the morning to our trolls in the troll room. Let's see how we're doing, trolls. Hands up. We're going to count them. Wow.

CHAPTER 22 / 42 Discussion

Show Logistics, Troll Room Stats, Album Art Review

The hosts review the "troll room" statistics, noting 1,837 active participants. They discuss the album art for the previous episode, "33 Cases," created by Tantanail from the Netherlands, which featured a Florida "Rona Hotspot" road sign. They explain the process of selecting art and encourage producers to submit topical pieces to the No Agenda Art Generator.

In the morning to our trolls in the troll room. Let's see how we're doing, trolls. Hands up. We're going to count them. Wow.

1:21:06 1837 is more that's above average. It's probably now for Sunday. It's about right. No, usually it's 1800 so it's a little above average. It's 1837 some hands up trolls. Well, remember we did have a eight cars effort plus a bonus car. So who knows all bets are off. If you'd also like to be counted and put on the list, go to noagendastream.com where you can troll away to your heart's content. And you can do that while listening to any of our many live shows. Actually, we pretty much have a live show every single day of the week at this time, I'm reliably informed, which is good.

1:21:44 We also have some shows live at night and you can meet some interesting people there. And while you're in the troll room, hit up Doug for an invite to noagendasocial.com. That is our federated social network where the signal to noise is off the chart. As in no noise, the signal is fantastic. Even John C. Dvorak prefers it over any other social network according to five out of six dentists. And then A thanks to our artist for episode 1266. We titled that 33 Cases. A lot of people caught on to what that was all about. And this was in evergreen. We could not find

1:22:22 a current piece that just struck us or fit in. Tante Nael did this, she's from the Netherlands. This was the Welcome to Florida, the Rona hotspot instead of the Sunshine State, it's the road sign. Definitely pops. But what went on? We could not find anything that just worked. What happened? It's as if there was no really triggering mechanism within the show structure that got any artist to have an inspiration. There was no... so everything was second tier. It's just hard to say it happens. We go... that's why we have the backlog. We got a lot of pieces that didn't catch it the first time around. There's a lot of pieces that came in second. We will bring them up and put them back into play. I mean, we had nothing but... with Pettigrew's thing with the... what's his name? That Alfred E. Newman character ran for president. Right.

1:23:17 That thing floated, we kept that in place. That was around for a long time before we used it, yeah. Yeah, even though it was top tier from the get-go. Ah yes, what do these terms like top tier and etc mean? Well find out by going to knowagendaartgenerator.com, uploading your art, If you want to be in consideration for the album art, obviously you don't always have to be an artist doing it live. We do look at other things. We look at stuff that comes in later. We are always searching if we can't find something topical right off the bat. So consider contributing your value to our Value for Value network.

Executive Producer Seronymous, Hajj 2020, Goat Sacrifice

Executive Producer Seronymous provides a "boots on the ground" report from the Middle East regarding Hajj 2020. He describes the pilgrimage as surreal due to the lack of outsiders and the transition to virtual animal selection for sacrifices. He shares an anecdote about a guard only using white goats to avoid offending Americans during BLM protests. His note also critiques Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) and the failure of STEM programs.

seronymous· hajj· mecca· goat sacrifice· blm· modern monetary theory

1:23:53 by going to noagenartgenerator.com. Tantanail, thank you once again. And now let's thank our executive producers and associate executive producers for episode 1267. Well, we had a big boost on this show for Sunday. Sironymous came in prematurely. Uh-oh. Premature. He normally comes in around the 23rd, 24th of the month. Not that I keep track of these things. He's seronimous of dog patch and lower slobovia. He came in with 1122, his code number 1122. So we never know what these mean.

1:24:38 But apparently he's been floating around because he's got another tail. Oh, okay. Good. Thank you to and all the producers that make this an outstanding yet sometimes disagreeable safe space where many faiths, cultures, genders and races collaborate with mutual respect for our differences. I continue to maintain a Groundhog Day lifestyle in the stuttering pandemic environment. Hajj 2020, which is the fest, the trek, what is it called? The pilgrimage. Yes, the pilgrimage 2020. Hajj 2020 was surreal, he says. No outsiders permitted and a random selection of a small group of participants.

1:25:32 Wait a minute. This was the first Hajj in many years that a friend or relative did not participate. Even Eid, E-I-D, that other Muslim celebration. We can catch up in our war here. Wait a minute, wait a minute, hold on a second. Now, so he's an insider at the Hajj? I don't know. Sounds like it. He knows something. Even Eid was unusual. But by the way, I want to just ask him an open question. When he says Hajj was surreal, no outsiders permitted, what does he mean by outsiders? I thought outsiders were never permitted. I thought you had to be a card-carrying Muslim to even go into that area. Well, I take it as only the people of the secret roundtable. I think maybe only the locals, the locals. No, I'm thinking he's part of the roundtable of the Hajj. I don't know if it's... well, he's gonna have to explain himself.

1:26:31 Even Ede was unusual. Selecting animals virtually, this is where you have your goat sacrifice. Yes, yes, yes. Selecting, and he has tribe, he has a bunch of goats. He's got a big goat collection apparently. Yeah. We've talked about his goat collection. He has award-winning goats. Yeah, he's a goat guy. Selecting animals virtually or people just making online orders rather than taking the trip to a farm and selecting their sacrifice. Right we selected 15 white goats from our tribe, which is the goat? Pilot goats he's got to contribute to the celebration and feed the poor that's a lot of good That is some goat goats are delicious by the way if you ever get a chance to eat one Goat karma kept them healthy through their end so thank you

1:27:19 When our guard repeated they only used white goats, which is our tradition, a local friend laughed and explained how the locals are hearing about BLM protests in America and the guard was concerned I might be upset if he killed an American's black goat. So we only went for the white goats. Nice! The infodemic reporting from the M5M conflates reporting with lies, damn lies and statistics. The more the M5M and global agencies use numbers for covering COVID and the climate crisis, the more the failing of STEM programs are evident. No kidding.

1:28:02 Poor use of mathematics may even explain stock market valuations. As the old accounting interview joke goes, how much is one plus one? Answer, what do you want it to be? At Arthur Anderson, it can be anything you want. This now applies to reporting of many forms of numbers-based information. The culmination is the move toward MMT as political doctrine, modern monetary theory, demonstrating how social sciences have usurped the dismal science and mathematics Humans progress by individual self-interest across all economic systems. I have lived in and competed in a few systems and identifying competitors self-interest identifies paths to outperform. Sadly, too few pursue paradise as being in their long-term self-interest. No jingles, no karma. I always like what Seronimous has to say. He seems like a wise guy.

1:29:02 Not a wise guy, but a wise guy. And you know this, it's a tribe, right? A bunch of goats is called a tribe. I think we learned that from... Yeah, we brought that up in a previous show. Yeah. I remember the cab driver who used to take me to the airport when I had the condo in San Francisco. At the time I called him Tony the terrorist. Yeah. And then one time he's like taking me to the airport and he pops the trunk and I want to put my bag in and there's a dead goat in the back. Oh, sorry man, that's for later. I gotta take that home. Different culture, but you get used to it.

1:29:38 Sir Animas, Sir Animas of Dogpatch and Lowers. Thank you so much. You are a true, true super patron and of course executive producer again for the NOA Agenda Show. Thank you. Tony Cabrera comes up on the list with $1,104.95. So he's a big donor today. This donation was made possible by purchase of at your no agenda shop from listeners like you. Oh, this is Tony. That's Tony. It's Tony. It's Tony. From the show. Yeah, Tony. Hey, Tony. ITM, I hope you and your loved ones are doing well during these crazy times.

No Agenda Shop, Tony Cabrera, Joe Biden Soundbites

Tony Cabrera from the No Agenda Shop reports on a new photo section for listeners to showcase their gear. He compares the show's foresight to that of Scott Adams and Matt Taibbi regarding "Operation Mockingbird." The segment includes requests for soundbites of Trump and Biden, and a discussion of Joe Biden's perceived mental deterioration while in his "basement."

1:30:28 in all their mouth-hitting glory on our website. Thank you, John and Anna, for being light years ahead of the Scott Adamses and Matt Tabebes who will eventually realize Operation Mockingbird is alive and well. Can you take me out with a Trump jobs, jobs, job and a Biden? Come on, man. Come on, man. Jobs, jobs, jobs. Let's vote for jobs. Thank you, Tony. Wow. So I guess we sold a lot of masks or at least the shop did. Something's doing well. Wow. I love that. Well, I'm glad everyone's enjoying. Yeah. This is such a good- No agenda shop.com. Such a good part of the value network. I really like how that works. It works well. Earl Walkman of Buckeye, $432.10.

1:31:24 I got him. While Bo Jiden has been in hiding, he has not disappeared with the countless hours of sound bites, but let's not revel in this man's quick deterioration. To keep beating this man down when he's down so far in the basement is uncalled for. Whether it's the plugs or the PEZ dispenser head-on, head-off occurrences, it's no raffing matter.

1:32:03 Met with an old friend and his keeper for lunch whom I hit in the mouth months back, Dave Homony from Oki. We were wondering who would be cooler to hang out and drink with, Adam or John? The consensus was John. Ha! to dudes named Ben. However, the Keeper thinks Adam would be cooler. Always the females. Always. Please be kind to old Joe. And can I get some moving karma in stereo? Earl Walkman of Buckeye. Yes, who did indeed send some of his... Convoluted note. He sent some of his own clips, so... I'm gonna give you the whole load today. Stop trying to keep your work in Morganize! What are we doing? What's going on right now?

Producer Donations, De-douching, Moving to Austin

Several producers send in donations, including Troy Kropog and Sir Julian Earl. Sir Julian announces he is moving from California to Austin, Texas, citing the illegality of his activities in California. He mentions that Joe Rogan is also in Austin building a new studio. The hosts perform "de-douching" rituals for various listeners and discuss the influx of people moving to Texas.

I was waiting until I had a firm grasp on all the inside jokes and numerical codes to donate. Obviously a Joe Rogan guy. I still don't, so here's a bunch of threes. I happen to be listening for three years, not a Joe Rogan guy. So he's been listening for three years and hasn't figured out all the jokes and inside codes and stuff, huh? Wow. So it was the perfect time to get this done. I don't have...

1:33:38 A good joke and being a douche in real life I refuse a de-douching so please de-douche my friends. Oh, okay. You've been de-douched. Actually we had names for them, I'm sorry. That's okay, you just got de-douched and the guys were Jake in Idaho and John in Nashville, both you guys. The karma for all listeners works so that's all I ask, keep on keeping us sane. Alright, thank you very much Troy. You've got karma. Another $333.33 donation from Morgan Hill, California, Sir Julian Earl of the South Bay and Autonomous Cars. Hmm. Autonomous. Reporting in to notify the peerage committee that I'll be moving to the Austin area this week. Whoa. A long list of stuff I've been doing is now illegal in California. Time to go. Time to go.

1:34:34 I don't know what that is. The wife and kids are flying. I'll be on a long road trip with our old and faithful dog. Travel karma please, Adam. We'd love to hit you and Tina up for some G2 before we buy a place. G2? Up for some G2. I don't know. What's G2? Joe Rogan and I are inbound. See you soon. Kisses, Sir Julian. Rogan's actually here this weekend. He's building his studio. Well, good luck with that. Hey, what is G2? We need to know what G2 is. Alright, look it up. I want to know what G2 is. Use Karma. The chat, the control room knows. No, they don't seem to know. Well then, I don't know either.

1:35:18 Sir7 from Lotusland comes in with $333. We had a good donation segment today. Very nice. Please credit me as Sir7 from Lotusland, gentlemen. It's time to give back. I've sold into a slave at home program and a number of 33s have been popping up. As a reminder, thank you for your courage and thank you for being the best podcast in the universe. Requesting a de-douching at once. You got it. You've been de-douched. Jingles and Karmy, once China is asshole, Two to the head, that's true.

Karma Requests, Mormon Jello, Mac and Gold Food Truck

Listeners request "karma" for various health issues, including cancer and bone marrow transplants. A donor named Sir Side Real discusses his Mormon upbringing and requests "green jello with carrot shavings" at the roundtable. Another report from Pittsburgh mentions a meetup featuring the "Mac and Gold" food truck, leading to a discussion about the origin of the show's "Mac and Cheese" jingle.

1:40:31 Sir Pete, Pete. Sir Pete here. First of all, thank you for your info sanity services. He comes in with $234.56 from Amsterdam. This is my birthday donation August 11th requesting a dose of F cancer and goat karma for my buddy Edward, 40-ish two kids waiting for a bone marrow transplant. Finally Miss C, who recently found a liver donor she needed as she lost hers from severe cancer. By the way, I know this is stretching our karma thin, but my previous request yield an amazing turn of events. Can you also play If You Wake Up with the Blues jingle? Don't know what that one is. Let's just focus on what's really important. Kind regards, Sir Pate.

1:41:19 I think it's when you wake up with the blues. Is that Jeff Smith? Oh, by the way, let me just go back because I said Buddy Edward, then I left out Robert also is recovering from radiation treatment. Oh no. I left him out. I can't find it. I know exactly what it is. I don't know what it is. I never heard it. Yeah, it's if you wake up in the blues. No agenda. It's day in the morning. That's Jeff Smith. Wake up in the blues. And again, it's a cereal commercial. And this is for the No Agenda show. Right. But what the hell was it? What was the cereal that might help me find it? If you wake up with the blues. No agenda. Something in your cornflakes, something in your mug. Fluoride in your cup. Fluoride in your cup.

1:42:07 But that's different. Well, that's where I guess what we got. Yeah, this well, this is the one I got for you. That's all I got. This is something else. I don't know what that is. I think the cancer will be better. I butchered everything. Yes. We'll just do the important part, which is why you really emailed in and we're glad that we got your note. You thought karma.

And he comes in with the same thing, 23456. One of my favorite donations. He did a handwritten note. A bunch of accounting on the back.

1:47:08 And you put in, you make the jello with some milk in it or something so it gets kind of this funny color since it's not transparent. And then you put in red gummy bears all through it. And then you make a jello mold and serve it to the family. It looks like a brain on the table. Wow. It's part of our religion. The folks in Utah are scratching their heads over that. Not so much Emma Pilgrim who comes in with $233.33. ITM from Pittsburgh have had a great meetup yesterday at a city park. Fellow slave Tim owns the Mac and Gold food truck and brought us some delicious macaroni. Nice. Definitely was several hundred levels up from cardboard and cheap cheddar melted together. If you don't mind sharing, what exactly was the origin of that jingle?

1:48:05 Tim is curious. Which jingle is it? The macaroni and cheese jingle. You mix a macaroni with cheap cheddar and blah blah blah. Well, no, she says very specifically the song, doesn't she? Yeah. Yeah, well we have a couple. Alright, keep going. Well, no, I think it was produced by some outsiders and they just sent it to us. I don't know if we even know the credit for it anymore. Anyway, let me finish the note. Tim is curious. Conversation topics included various Karen encounters we've had. Tech Babble by the dude's name Ben, how much we all love MoFax and trying to hit a guy who came with a friend.

JRE Migrants, Podiatry Practice, Hawaii Birthday

New listeners who discovered the show through Joe Rogan's podcast share their stories. One producer, a podiatrist, asks for community support via GoFundMe to start a new practice. Another donor from Hawaii requests a birthday shoutout for his partner, Malika, and "jobs karma" for the community. The hosts emphasize the "Value for Value" model and the importance of the No Agenda Social network for job seekers.

Yeah, exactly. We've been calling it correctly for over 12, 13 years. The more I listen, the more I... because it's just the thing we do. The more I listen, the more I could see the past that the BS was hitting us from all sides.

1:51:04 My smoking hot wife, Faith Ann, thought the show was odd at first, but now she has to listen to it and gets kind of pissed if I start it without her. Ooh, that's a violation. You can't do that. Don't start the show. She's turning 33 plus 13 on 8-11, so she's literally on the edge of being smoking hot. Yeah, you said it, not me. Can't wait because it's a constant battle with the air conditioning this time of year. She's constantly cold. Please add her to your birthday list. We got her. Yeah. We look forward to every show.

Value for Value System, Trump Yosemite Gaffe

The hosts explain the "Value for Value" funding model, where listeners contribute based on the entertainment and information they receive. They transition to a segment on political gaffes, playing a clip of President Trump repeatedly mispronouncing "Yosemite" as "Yo-semites" during a bill signing for national parks.

Well I want to start this second segment off with a few Biden clips. I can't do a Kayleigh segment because she's not doing any press conference worth of powder so we're going to have to push that off. Is this Joe bumbling around?

1:58:07 Yeah, mostly. Wait, I pulled something especially because, you know, we are often accused of not doing this. I got a really good Trump stumble bumble, like a really embarrassing one. Well, we did two of those in the last show, so I don't know what people are complaining about, but okay, yeah, play it as the prelude. What did we do on the last show with Trump? What did he have? I had the two quotes. I had him praising Hillary, going on and on about Hillary, how great she was, and then saying that the United States of America began in 1492. No, I'm talking about a childish gaffe where someone just says something so stupid that you can laugh at them hard.

1:58:47 This is what I'm talking about. This was when he signed the order, I think it might have even been an executive order for the national parks, and he was trying to pronounce the name of one of our national parks. When they gaze upon Yosemites, Yosemites, towering sequoias. Yosemite! Holy crap! Has he never seen the word Yosemite? Has he never seen Yosemite Sam? I don't think he's ever been to Yosemite. Maybe he's been to Yosemite. Yosemite. Yeah, okay, that's good. I think that qualifies. Yosemite. Let me listen to him again. That's actually better than some of the Biden ones I've got. Listen, hold on. When they gaze upon Yosemites, Yosemites. Hey, Yosemites! He's calling Ivanka. Yosemites, come on over here. Oh, good. Okay, well this is now your new beat.

CHAPTER 30 / 42 Discussion

Joe Biden Policy Gaffes, Cash Bail, Diversity Comments

Joe Biden is featured in several clips where he stumbles over numbers regarding police funding and advocates for ending cash bail. His comments comparing the diversity of the Latino community to the African-American community are analyzed. The hosts also critique the poor audio quality of Biden's remote broadcasts, blaming a production company called BNY Productions in Sioux City.

joe biden· cash bail· diversity· latino community· sound quality· bny productions

1:59:45 Stop please. Thanks. Well here's a Joe's, here's a classic, this is more classic Joe Biden. I'm going to play this one. This is the Biden CH 1647. This is a classic example of Joe Biden's math. Look, he calls for cutting local funding for police nationally now in his budget by almost a half a billion dollars. 400, I think it's $47 million. Yeah. That's really not fair. He's just he doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to these numbers and he's all his life has been used to millions and millions adding up to a billion maybe here or there and now it's just gotten out of control. He can't make the switch.

2:00:29 glad that we knew this is your beat. You're going to be you're going to defend Joe. Well, then I got to ask Adam for you. Oh, this is Biden on just on justice reform. This is part one. And then he'll I'm going to ask you a question when this when this plays. OK, and look, yeah. You know, we have to have this as a call to action to finally confront and end the racial injustices that are prevalent in this country and far too long. As president, I'm going to fight every day to lead these changes and make sure that we lay out the steps that Congress should immediately take for real policing reform. The whole cops to the highest standard with the vast majority of meat. I'm going to invest in shifting our criminal focus from incarceration to prevention, ending cash bail, ensuring that one is incarcerated for drug use alone shouldn't go into being incarcerated. They should be going into mandatory rehabilitation, drug courts, and we should and much more. They should be eligible when they get out for reentry into society from everything from Pell Grants to housing. I'm going to fight to end. You know, look,

2:01:31 There's an awful lot. There's an awful lot going on. All right, I've listened to the clip. I'm prepared for my question. What's the one thing that has been good that left-wing promotion has been going on from city to city that they've been trying to do? It's not worked out very well. And he slipped it in there as something that should be universal. This one thing they've been pushing and pushing and pushing and pushing and California's already adopted it in some areas. What is the one thing that's, and they slipped it in there, something about the instead of going to jail you will go into a drug rehab or some program? No. You could play the whole thing again but I'm not gonna belabor this. Play the Biden answer.

2:02:24 Oh, we have an answer, a solution. Okay, here we go. I like it. Ending cash bail and sh**. Oh, ending cash bail. Yeah, well he kind of... Sorry, I didn't hear that one. He said it the first time. He learned how to say that in Yosemite. Yeah, so that's like a big deal. They want to end cash bail. So in other words you get arrested, you get let go. But hold on, is that... Well that's already... That's what happens. That's already taking place in New York. They already have no cash bail. Well they're doing that here in San Francisco too. Yeah, well first of all it's interesting because you don't even get arrested for under $900 or damage or theft.

2:03:08 So what do you have to do to actually get arrested and have to post... I guess there's no bail? Murder. Wow. That's it, huh? Pretty much. So now here's the big one everyone made a big fuss about. This is his diversity gaffe, which I guess you and Moa have to talk about this. And I don't know, maybe there's nothing here. But it is pretty funny when you listen to Biden going on because he takes the black. This is taking the black voter for granted once again. Yes. And by the way, what you all know, but most people don't know, unlike the African-American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community.

2:03:50 with incredibly different attitudes about different things. Yeah. Yeah. Well, he later clarified, of course. Oh, sure he did. I didn't really mean that. Now let's go with this. This is the ISO I picked up in competition to your ISO. Okay. And this is from the... I didn't have it in any of these clips, but here it is. It's real. It's not a joke. It's real. Ooh, that's pretty good competition. Do you have any others or is that no that's the only one that's my one lone I so let's just do a little compete here. I like it It's real it's not a joke It's real yeah, I think it's real is better as an end of show the quality of the clip It is better. It's a better quality clip. Yes nice, so apparently I guess he's got the first crew sound guys finally because of what we've discovered which is that

2:04:50 This all the quality sound guys are working for Steyer and Bloomberg because they were paying top dollar and now that those guys are out of it, they've gone to work for Biden. Yes, and I did find out who possibly was wink wink nudge nudge was responsible for the shit so far and we're going to call them out. That's BNY Productions in Sioux City, Iowa. Apparently they're the guys who have messed up everything. That's what the industry is telling me. Yes, it's like remote live streaming. We use Waves Emotion LV1. It's like someone said, oh, how can we go wrong with these incredibly smart techno nerd guys? Look, they got a whole company. They got gear. They got flashy lights. One of them's Indian.

CHAPTER 31 / 42 Discussion

Georgia Student Suspension, Teachers Unions, Remote Learning

Two high school students in Georgia were suspended after posting photos of crowded hallways where students were not wearing masks. The incident sparks a broader discussion on the influence of teachers' unions and the push for permanent remote learning. The hosts argue that unions are prioritizing political agendas over the educational needs of students.

2:05:43 Well, I don't know I'm not gonna I'm just sound like a bigot and say if I'm gonna be hiring top-notch sound guys I'm going to LA or New York. Yeah, not to Sioux City Yeah, just saying you even Oakland. Yeah, all right Some action there was a some Georgia student took a pic bunch of pictures They made a big fuss about it, and they kicked her out of school. Oh In Georgia, two high school students have been suspended after they published images of classmates ignoring social distancing guidelines and not wearing masks in crowded hallways at North Paulding High School in Dallas, Georgia.

2:06:24 15-year-old sophomore Hannah Waters says she was ordered to remain home from school for five days after she tweeted a photo and a video of unmasked students crowding her school's hallways on the second day of the new school year. She told CNN her only aim was to call attention to unsafe conditions. And then what happened? Did they get arrested? What happened to these kids? They just sent them home. So this is just some bull crap? For a month or some or a week. Oh, I'm so tired of this stuff. Especially the school thing, man. The schools are bad. There's not... nothing's gonna reopen. I mean, it's just not gonna happen. The teachers are scared crapless, most of them.

2:07:05 They should be. They're all lefties that read the New York Times. That's not true. That's not true. But the unions, the teachers' unions, they have no say. The teachers themselves I don't think have any say. These unions are the ones that are really a problem. Well, it's starting to look that way. As I was reading most most teachers, you know, the the union dues are it's kind of predetermined It's taken right out of your check. You don't get to write a check to them. It's all taken care of boom. It's gone You're in the way it is with most unions. Yeah. Well, that means you know, you don't have anything nothing you can say

2:07:45 Well, you can say I don't want this. Yeah, you can go to the meetings and make a fuss. OK, I'm just I'm taking exception because we have a lot of teachers who are producers and they're certainly not all lefties who read the New York Times. Certainly not. Apparently the guys who run the unions are lefties who read the New York Times. Yes, those are definitely those guys for sure. You know, you can take over a union. It's not impossible. I think if you see, I mean people are going insane. The Brooklyn parents released some, you know, like something for schools and what needs to be done and they're already of the mindset

CHAPTER 32 / 42 Discussion

Educational Quality, Remote Learning Challenges, New World Order

The hosts debate the long-term effects of remote education, suggesting that students will gravitate toward a few "top-tier" online lecturers, rendering local teachers obsolete. They argue that hands-on learning is essential for subjects like history and geography. The segment concludes that the shift to remote learning is part of a "New World Order" agenda that disproportionately affects lower-income families.

education· remote learning· geography· history· privilege· new world order

2:08:29 There's no other way from now on out. It's going to be full-on remote distance learning. Let's just prepare for it. There's nothing left to do. We might as well do it. When we can, we'll have some physical education classes. We did infrastructure. And they're trying to create this utopian world where all kids can sit at home with their little Google Chromebook and learn. And here's the problem that you're going to have to deal with. which you don't have to deal with now, which is if you have a history teacher who's the best in the world and he teaches a online course out of San Luis Obispo, why am I taking anybody else's course? I would send my kids to flock to the best of the best of the best. And so they're only taking top-notch people

2:09:27 from here and there and they would be on this online I mean you know what difference does it make you know it's everything is going to gravitate to a very few sources because there's people out there that will show themselves to be really lousy online teachers some people are only good in classrooms. I don't think any teacher can educate effectively certainly not well to young people remotely. I, well, let's go over my thoughts on this as I've talked about this on the show numerous times because I've taken the old control data plate or whatever that system was. When I was in college, it was just on, you know, kind of a computerized learning that doesn't work. Everybody knows it doesn't. That's why they discontinued the whole thing and it crops up every once in a while. You can learn a little bit.

2:10:17 But there's nothing like, you know, hands-on. Oh no, you do it this way because you always get stuck in a rut. You don't know, you don't quite understand anything. You do need hands-on. But to be on the other side of the argument, there are probably people who are so good at online that I could see that it's being effective with somebody that's actually not a computer like a pure computer program but someone who's actually lecturing online. I listen to lectures that are broadcast on TV on some of these obscure university networks. I'd listen to the lecturers, though I was in the college, listen to a lecturer. So you seem to be saying, that's okay, you can figure out how to do it and it's gonna be just fine. No, I said that it's certain things you can't learn unless somebody's telling you exactly, put the hands on saying no, you do it this way. You have to be right on top of you. Right. But for broader subjects like history, I'll go back to that, how hands-on does that need to be?

2:11:20 How come a series of lectures and reading maybe six or seven important books... All I know is, and I'll take history as an example, I was only good at two subjects, geography and history, and the reason for both that I excelled in them is because the teachers had even a glance from a teacher to look and make sure you understand it is something that does not translate in this environment. I think it's a horrible idea. And I think that, no, I know that this is not going to be good if we continue with this idea that this remote

2:12:01 education is going to turn out well-developed, well-rounded individuals. No! And if you have four kids in one house and they're all simultaneously on their laptops? No, no, no, no, no. We only can talk about this from our own experience of where we are, but that's not the... We're top 5% of people in privilege and wealth in the country. Probably everybody who's listening. You will obey. Probably everyone who's listening. Except for the five producers experiencing homelessness, they're probably laughing their ass off listening to this. Well, that's part of the New World Order. It's definitely part of the New World Order and I'll have no part of it. And of course I don't have kids anymore that have to take place in it, but jeez, if I ever get a grandkid, I'm gonna get very involved and annoying.

CHAPTER 33 / 42 Discussion

Belarus Election Unrest, Russian Pipeline Geopolitics

Protests have erupted in Belarus following a disputed election between incumbent Alexander Lukashenko and opposition leader Svetlana Tikhanovskaya. The unrest is analyzed through the lens of energy geopolitics, specifically the seven Russian gas pipelines that pass through Belarus to Europe. The situation is compared to the 2014 Ukraine crisis, with concerns that Russia may intervene to secure its distribution points.

2:13:00 Let me play a couple more clips. Hold on a second. First, I forgot I do have a new Joe Biden jingle for your segment, so I'll play it after the fact. Come on, man. An elephant, a lion, physical metal, as well as my mental food, corn pop. Your lion dog face pony shirt. Corn pop. I like corn pop. Corn pop. For no reason. For no reason. There's a big deal in the international news is the Belarus elections. Yes, yes. Well, is it just the election or more just like a general riot? Well, there's a riot that's going to happen after the election, I can assure you, because the election is rigged. There's a lot of reports on this and people should look a few of them up because it's very interesting.

2:13:50 And I don't know, I also looked up Belarus, Victoria Nuland, found nothing. No, no, no. I can tell you what this is, but let's listen to your clip first. Okay, this is the Belarus election from France 24, kind of the background on the whole thing. Touring Belarus for his video blog, Sergei Tikhanovsky channeled a nation's discontent, not without humor. In May, Tikhanovsky announced he would run for president and was jailed. But his wife Svetlana was allowed on the ballot. Svetlana Tikhanovskaya is flanked by two other women. The campaign manager and wife, respectively, have two men who were barred from running. One of them was jailed, the other, Valery Tepkalov, is now in exile.

2:14:35 He says Belarusians tolerated Alexander Lukashenko's authoritarianism while the economy was doing okay, but not anymore. It's a disastrous situation we have. In 20 years, more than 650,000 people left the country. And the GDP of Belarus 10 years ago was 60 billion US dollars. And this year it would be 57. When the authorities prevented Tikhanovskaya from holding a rally on Thursday, she urged her supporters to attend a government-sponsored concert instead. Changes. The title of a perestroika-era hit that suddenly rings out from the sound system. A symbolic rebellion that earned these DJs 10 days in prison. I also got a report from a foreign source.

2:15:20 That was France 24. I got from Al Jazeera. It's about the same length. Ignoring a government ban, they shouted, leave Lukashenko, we will win. Thousands of supporters of opposition leader Svetlana Tsikhanouskaya rallied for hours in front of an empty stage after the candidate and her team was barred from entering. We all are worried, but we all do not fear anymore. So we have less fear as before because it's not possible to have so much fear in our country I'm here to support the next generation our children. I'm 51 years old and to be honest I can't watch how my mother is forced to count every cent because of her small pension

2:16:07 Lukashenko also lost support after he called the COVID-19 crisis a psychosis, despite thousands falling ill. While police has been deployed in full force around the park, people from all walks of life and all ages have gathered here risking arrest. They are beyond fear, they say. So I think I know what this is. You are seeing a repeat of Ukraine. as there are seven critical Russian pipelines that flow through Belarus. They go to Germany, they go to the Netherlands, they go to Poland, they go to Belgium, and if the flow from Belarus is cut, Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium will then have to get their gas from Ukraine.

2:17:03 The Russians are not happy because it's the same situation where they are not paying the toll. So they're at the distribution point, they get the big tap from the Russian pipeline and then they send it off to these diverse pipelines and they take a cut in the middle and they haven't been paying that cut back and now the Russians are saying, well we're going to shut this down. I think it may have already happened to some of these supply lines. and now Belarus is saying, okay we'll just tap it off the main line. So it's the same thing. I don't know if they have any place that Russia can take over, but it seems like Ukraine all over again. I know, it seems there's a variation it seems to me, but in what way? There may be some, that element may, well I mean first of all you had Russians in Ukraine, they had this Crimea situation,

2:18:01 There are some Russians, there was another couple reports showing these so-called Russian agitators arrested by the... I mean it's like Georgia. I mean it's always the same. It's more like Georgia than it is like Ukraine. But also the Russians. It's always the same. Well, again, I think it's a variation. But whatever the case, this is not going to end well. When you say variation, what do you mean? Well, it's not... I mean, all the elements of the Russian, the Crimea thing, that eastern part of Ukraine, the fact that Ukraine was the capital of Russia that began in Kiev, the whole operation. This is a little different. It's just... it's a variation to me. It's not the same. And I think that... I think it's more of like Romania where Ceausescu is going to get hung at the end of the day.

2:18:51 They didn't do that in Ukraine. They didn't take the old guy and string him up. No, but they've, you know, one before they threw the president in jail. They killed a whole bunch of people who were demonstrating. You know, these are things that could still happen. And Victoria Nuland has not been seen, so. This is the point. That's the major difference. Very annoying we need to play our jingle. Where is it? Where in the world? Where is Victoria Kagan? She's working for the Peace Foundation now. Yes, not the it's it's called something else. It's called something else Gosh, what is it? It is it's not a foundation though. It's a think tank. It's something nasty the peace tank. Yeah You can't find the jingle. No, all right. So now I got one more clip. I gotta play. Oh

CHAPTER 34 / 42 Discussion

Make Billionaires Pay Act, Bernie Sanders, Jeff Bezos

Senators Bernie Sanders, Ed Markey, and Kirsten Gillibrand introduced the "Make Billionaires Pay Act," proposing a 60% tax on windfall profits made by the ultra-wealthy during the pandemic. The bill would result in a $47 billion tax bill for Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos. The hosts speculate whether Joe Biden will be forced to adopt this policy as part of his campaign platform.

bernie sanders· jeff bezos· wealth tax· billionaires· joe biden· windfall profits

2:19:47 This is a good one. This is the tax billionaire's bill. I think this is the best thing I've ever heard. On Thursday, Senators Bernie Sanders, Ed Markey and Kyrsten Chilebrand introduced the Make Billionaires Pay Act, a 60 percent tax on over $700 billion in windfall profits made this year by the top 0.001 percent of Americans. Senator Sanders wrote, quote, we can continue to allow the very rich to get much richer while everyone else gets poorer and poorer, or we can tax

2:20:23 the winnings a handful of billionaires made during the pandemic to improve the health and well-being of tens of millions of Americans, Sanders said. I have seen a couple of tweets about it. $47 billion. The bill for Jeff Bezos, your girl's favorite guy. $47 billion tax bill. Yeah, seems fair. It's hilarious. And how's that moving along this idea? Who proposed this actually? Sanders and Gillibrand and some other doofus.

2:21:01 So how long before Joe Biden starts saying it? He's got to say it soon. Aren't they controlling his agenda? Isn't that the accusation? Well, somebody's gonna have to say it because they're gonna start grilling him on it. This actually may be, I didn't think about it, a ploy by Sanders to get Biden to make a commitment about taxing these, it's only about five or six guys are talking about the top 10 in the Forbes list. Right. You know, they're all worth like 50, 100 billion. I mean, the numbers are ludicrous. And it just nick them, 60 percent of their wealth. That is that is kind of crazy. Hmm. You know, I see on blue Twitter

2:21:46 There are people now worried that this whole delay, and I presume we've got to hear something about his vice presidential pick, but it may all be a delay because Biden is still not officially the nominee and they feel that Bernie is starting to move in a little bit too close for comfort, which is clear he is. And that someone else may get the nomination after all, that this is not a cut and dry thing. Do you see any evidence of that? No. I see zero evidence of that. He's got the numbers. They can't take it away from him. They like him.

CHAPTER 35 / 42 Discussion

Kanye West Presidential Bid, DNC Concerns, Battleground States

The Democratic National Committee and mainstream media outlets are expressing concern over Kanye West's presidential campaign. Figures like James Clyburn suggest that West's presence on the ballot in states like Wisconsin and Colorado is a Republican tactic to siphon votes from Joe Biden. The hosts discuss West's potential impact on the election and his "billion-dollar corporation" status.

kanye west· andrea mitchell· james clyburn· dnc· battleground states· wisconsin

2:22:27 And they're doing a good job of covering up his the fact that he's lost his month. You know he's just not there. He's not all there MSNBC or someone was very worried about and I know it's whenever I bring up Kanye everyone's eyes roll, but they're taking him very seriously as Andrea Mitchell brought in Clyburn who is the the majority whip this is the guy this is the guy that got Joe Basically, got Joe the gig. Yeah, got Joe the job. So Kanye, of course, is just crazy. Who would ever think there was to talk about him? I would bring up Kanye. He's not serious having an episode. He's crazy. But they're bringing in big guns to make him

2:23:12 to marginalize him. I also want to ask you about Kanye West. Never thought I'd be saying that to you, Mr. Leader, but there we are. He's now on the ballot in Colorado and Oklahoma and we are told that a Republican operative from the Trump campaign delivered his petitions in Wisconsin. Now, I know his family has said he suffers from bipolar and that this is not serious. But let's face it, what happened in three states in 2016 by 80,000 votes, decided an election. So I think Andrea gives it away right there. Someone within the Biden camp or the DNC is like, OK, we got to deal with this Kanye thing because all it takes is a couple of states and some idiot.

2:23:59 Of course, it's very unrealistic at this point in the game where they're at with Kanye. But I like it. I like that they're worried. That's very interesting. They decided a presidency. Jill Stein on the Green Party tickets. So could this be a Trump campaign effort to try to siphon off votes from Joe Biden in battleground states? I don't think there's any question about that. I think we all saw what was going on there in Wisconsin, where he was getting the up front to get on the ballot. But you know, African Americans most especially know what this campaign is all about. They've seen these kind of tactics before. We saw that here in South Carolina. I have been saying for years now that this whole wrestling influence, I think their trial run was in the United States Senate race right here in South Carolina. So we've seen this before. We felt victim to it when we didn't know where it was coming from and what was going on.

2:24:53 We now know and we're not going to make that mistake again. If you fool me once, that shame is on you. You fool me twice, that shame would be on me. We ain't gonna be shamed in this election. Sounds pretty serious to me. Well, get fooled, you know the deal. So, uh... Look, you know the deal? You know, two-faced pony soldier. Well, you know, Tony kind of said he's doing it to siphon votes away from Biden. And I can see that there are people that won't vote for a Republican. Sure. But they feel like they should vote.

2:25:36 But they can't vote for Biden because Biden is like, you know, he's lost it. And so they can't vote for Biden in good conscience because you don't want to put a guy like that in office. But you got to vote for somebody. So you get this, OK, I'm going to vote for Kanye. Exactly. And it could become a thing. Yes. Well, you get a percent of the votes. I mean, he is in tough competition now for my vote to Vermin Supreme. I am seriously considering Kanye. Okay, Vermin is promising a pony, but I think Kanye is more entertaining. Is he on the Texas ballot? I can write him in. Oh yeah, yeah, you could write him in. Yeah, that's... it has to be a write-in. I'm not gonna get on any ballots, a couple of them. Yeah.

2:26:24 I like it. I think they should take him very seriously and the way they speak about him is stupid. And I think he's a lot smarter than they're giving him credit for. Of course, he only has a billion dollar corporation with the shoes and the music and the church. Why would you worry about him? Yeah. Well, I don't know. I have no idea. One more clip? No, I definitely have some Black Lives Matter stuff, but we can do that after the break. Why don't we take that right now? And we do have a few people to thank for show 12-6-7, beginning with...

CHAPTER 36 / 42 Discussion

Anniversary Donations, Knighting Ceremony, Andrew and Side Real

A large group of producers send in $88.88 donations to celebrate the hosts' wedding anniversary. Two long-time supporters, Andrew and David Langford, are knighted as Sir Andrew and Sir Side Real.

CHAPTER 39 / 42 Discussion

White Fragility, Minneapolis Mom Video, Robin DiAngelo

A video from a Minneapolis mother discussing "white fragility" and "anti-racist parenting" is critiqued for its self-deprecating and patronizing tone. The woman cites Robin DiAngelo's book and argues that white people have a low capacity for discomfort. The hosts discuss the difference between "equality" and "equity," viewing the latter as a socialist redistribution of wealth and a "cop-out" for personal responsibility.

white fragility· robin diangelo· minneapolis· equity· systemic racism· parenting

2:41:36 The riots were taking place, so she was subsequently prepared to do some of the work. I just wanted to share what she posted because I thought it was quite revealing and I feel sad. I'm making this video because I wanted to give you a little window into my thinking and invite you to brainstorm and dream alongside me. I'm going to share an idea with you about how to raise our white children to be better allies, better abolitionists, and better people than we are. I'm already feeling sorry for these children.

2:42:19 The the whore kid the horrible pain that's going to be bestowed upon their psyches with the caveat the head I am my no means an expert or an authority here Please do not rely on a white woman to tell you how to be anti-racist Or do the work that's needed to combat a culture of white supremacy. I am just one privileged ignorant, flawed individual with one voice and what I'm going to share with you right now... How bad is this? The self-esteem level is at an all-time low. Well for her. Yeah. It makes me sad to hear that.

2:43:02 All these things okay, you may be somewhat ignorant about things with cheese right now is just a snapshot of my thinking at this given moment in this time so this video is just food for thought if It inspires you great. Tell me why okay? Here's the notion that I am exploring right now otherwise part one A major reason why racism is so pervasive in America and why our institutions and society are so resistant to acknowledging and then trying to dismantle this system. Acknowledging and trying to enter the system. Is that white folks like myself have a really low capacity for sitting in discomfort and having difficult conversations.

2:43:55 I get mad when I hear this. Don't... I'm not monolithic with you lady. Maybe white folk in Minneapolis... Eugh! Is that where she is? Yeah. Yeah, it's... Eugh! And that part too, you know, at some level besides, hey, yeah, at some level, besides showing what appears to be low self-esteem. In fact, I'm not sure that's true. She's incredibly condescending. She thinks she knows everything. She's patronizing. She's an absolute a-hole.

2:44:36 Yeah, I think you nailed it, but I'm pretty sure that this is par for the course. I don't think this is an exception. It's really kind of... This is a patronizing, condescending a-hole who thinks she knows better and she's going to be lecturing you despite the fact she has no credentials to do so. Well, to be fair, she says that she's white. Doesn't that give her the credentials to do that? Well, according to her own thinking, no. Okay. That's just the opposite is true. Let's continue. If she's white, she should do, let's go through, let's take it to the extreme. You've heard this. You're white. You sit down and shut up. That's what she should do. Don't worry. I'm in agreement with that. Don't worry. It's coming.

2:45:25 major reason why racism is so pervasive in America and why our institutions and society are so resistant to acknowledging and then trying to dismantle this system is that white folks like myself have a really low capacity for sitting in discomfort and having difficult conversations. And that part two If we parent our young children in ways that build their tolerance for holding discomfort, we can help raise a generation of more open-minded, compassionate, self-reflective people who are going to actually do the hard work. So the way I took this is it's a cop-out. It's by saying, I've decided to do something against systemic racism.

2:46:22 and everything else that's inequalities and I'm going to raise my children and so she gets away and was like no but I'm doing all these great things with my kids yeah my kids I'm we believe the children are the future and we're gonna change them to hate themselves like their mother Of course you know where this comes from. This is just one move, right? I know that it's not the answer. It does not absolve us of our responsibility of doing our own self-reflection and awakening. It's just one piece of the puzzle, but I do think it's really fundamental to the fight for justice and equity. Equity? Some friends of mine, some friends and I have just started... What even is equity?

2:47:09 Equity is not, it's not equality. Equity, you have equity. It means you have a stake in something, no? Yeah, yeah, piece of the pie. So when did, when did equity become synonymous with, uh, you can't just say equity, can you? Well, she did. So yeah, I guess. I know, but isn't that changing the meaning of the, of the word equity? Changing the meaning of the word equity. How's it change the meaning of the word equity? Well, I believe, well, okay. So then what is she saying? A share. So equity is a share. But she says it's for equity. Yeah, they need people need to share. In other words, we got to get Jeff Bezos to give us a 47 billion. Okay, but that would be more equity, not just everyone has equity, just your piece sucks.

2:48:01 It doesn't mean that no one, eh, whatever. Some friends of mine, some friends and I have just started reading and discussing Robin DiAngelo's book, The Root of All Evil, why it's so hard for white people to talk about racism. And in it, she shared her observation that when confronted with the realities of whiteness, white supremacy, systemic racism, and especially any active racism that we have perpetrated, we white people very rarely open up and listen. Oh, my God. Dude.

2:48:42 We very rarely thank the other person for bringing these ideas to our attention. We very rarely say, I want to learn more. I want to do better. I want to understand my biases and my privilege and my prejudices. Instead, as she points out, it is so common for us to withdraw, defend ourselves, go silent, try and focus on our good intentions. Explain explain explain explain and just insist that we were misunderstood There it is. There's your over socialized person. It's very dangerous ever get a job or work for a living or get out of this whatever they're in this rut of self

Oprah Winfrey White Guilt Sessions, YouTube Series

Oprah Winfrey has launched a series of "white guilt" sessions on YouTube, discussing white privilege. The hosts criticize Winfrey, one of the most privileged and wealthy individuals in the world, for lecturing others on the advantages of "whiteness." They argue that her immense clout and success contradict the narrative of systemic disadvantage she is promoting.

2:49:31 analysis? Well actually she started the this noodle mom started her video I didn't clip that. My husband and I just got done chalking words of love and freedom on the pavement. Okay, that works. But there's a lot of this weirdness going on. You know, Oprah on YouTube is now doing these kind of white guilt sessions. I have a very short clip just to give you a taste. Oprah traveled and as white people, we, we, even the poorest of the poor, I feel still has a leg up.

2:50:07 And it's yeah, the leg up is what I was saying. You still have your whiteness That's what that's what the term white privilege is it means that whiteness still gives you an advantage No matter what the woman who has a hundred billion dollars Wow! One of the most privileged people. Unbelievable. Black, white, Chinese, doesn't matter. Who cares? Who cares? She's a privileged, privileged person with incredible clout and she's bitching? Yep. Oh, please. I know. Wow, come on, Oprah. Give me a break. Don't leave much room for love anymore. This is not good.

University of Washington COVID Model, Face Mask Projections

The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington has released a new model predicting 300,000 U.S. deaths by December. The model claims that 66,000 lives could be saved if 95% of the population wears face masks. The hosts dismiss the model as "influential bullcrap," questioning the scientific validity of such specific behavioral projections.

2:51:01 All right, if you got something... I don't know, you've driven us into a dead end. No, not at all. You've driven the show into a black hole. No, I was hoping that you would have one fun clip for us to leave. You've been schlepping around a couple of clips from show to show. Certainly there's something in there that you can use. I got a couple of things we can play. Something nice that you get one. Should I put one in one? No, you get one. We gotta end the show. What kind of a dictator have you become? Alright, I have one. I do have one as a matter of fact. It's the dictator who when you say, how long was the show? And I give you the time, you say, it's too long! That's the dictator. Okay, I got the one. So every once in a while somebody gets kind of, you know those guys in England that had all the, oh two million Americans dead. Well the other half of that group was out of the University of Washington. So they're trying to make a comeback.

2:51:53 with their predictive models. I've noticed this. So yeah, it was the it was the Imperial College in the UK. That was the one that they've been discredited. But the University of Washington somehow got out unscathed. And so but so they're trying to make a name for themselves. And here's the latest bad prediction prediction for us all. Okay, I just not sure under another. Ah, yes, okay. The U.S. coronavirus death toll is on pace to reach nearly 300,000 by December, according to an influential model by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington. But the institute projects 66,000 lives could be saved if 95% of people in the United States wear face coverings. Oh, please!

2:52:43 Oh my, how many percent of people could be saved or created? Well, 66,000 people can be saved or created by wearing a face mask. So why can't everybody be saved wearing a face mask? Is this thing supposed to be that effective? Yeah, well, there's put if everybody wears a face mask. There should be no more deaths. Well, and that would be my question Why are they letting people out of jail? Why don't they just give them face masks? Well, that's actually a good question Not quite a great one. No, it's not a great question, but it's a good question. Yeah, these are irritations that we live with day to day this concludes our broadcast for the 9th of August 2020

2:53:33 As you know, we'll be diligently looking for anything that is bullcrap, because if it's there, we'll find it for sure. End of show mixes we've got coming up. We've got Fletcher with Carolyn Blaney. I made sure I mentioned that she participated in this one. Jesse Coy Nelson, Tom Starkweather and on noagendastream.com right after the show if you're listening live Grumpy Old Ben's. And I am coming to you from Opportunity Zone 33 here in the frontier of Austin, Texas.

2:54:10 Capital of the drone star state, FEMA region number six if you're looking for it on the governmental maps. In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from northern Silicon Valley you don't need to use a government map, you can use a Google map or a Bing map. I'm John C. Dvorak. We return on Thursday. Please join us and meet us then right here on NOAgenda. Until then, adios mofos! And such. Well I'm taking a break, on the Hudson River line. Are you gonna save New York City or are you telling New York City to drop dead? Which one is it? I'm in a New York state of decline.

2:54:54 Rats have been emboldened in a way few have ever seen and that's definitely happening in New York City Rats are taking to the streets like never before Experts say because so many restaurants are closed. There's less garbage being collected in the rat population is Starving according to the NYPD gun violence this year is up 150% over the same period last year We've had 11 people killed, 48 total victims just within the five boroughs and just within 24 hours. Police are also looking into the homeless sleeping in subway cars and in stations. It is a growing problem with safety at risk. Data on housing rentals out of New York City coming in a lot worse than expected with the city emptying out fast. When you're coming back, we'll go to dinner, I'll buy you a drink, come over, I'll cook.

2:55:45 New York State of decline What does this have to do with what we're talking about? Some people actually suggesting and sharing articles that say you should smoke weed. Yes, that's what I said, weed. Then funding for child care and mental health care. And you need that, especially when you have so much of a lockdown. We need that mental health care. You're going to have to smoke a lot of weed to make the stock chart look good. And I was in Ohio, I was in Texas, I was in Florida over the last four or five days. Namely the Corona. You can call it so many different names. What a horrible thing.

2:56:48 What does this have to do with what we're talking about? Namely the Corona. You can call it so many different names. What a horrible thing. Now these caveats don't mean you should ignore the study. It just means we need more research before we consider the findings as proven or fact. What does this have to do with what we're talking about? If I ever get stuck on a desert island, the drug I want is hydroxychloroquine. You know, before it became politicized, I was excited about it. This is one of the safest drugs I've ever seen, ever.

2:57:26 I knew about this since maybe February, I think, or maybe even January, but certainly long before President Trump ever said anything about it. So this drug is not only safe, it's actually good for you in many instances. I knew that hydroxychloroquine looked like a very good treatment for this. But it's not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. Find something else to do. But it's not... Take a walk. It's time for you to quit your job. I thought there was just going to be a shortage of the medicine. You know, everyone was going to go out and buy it immediately. The point is, this drug, this drug is not only is it safe, it's good for you in many instances.

2:58:04 Again. When you're in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet. You're not different than a murderer. You're not different than Hitler. I hate to do this but I mean, I refuse to let people die. Everybody just jumped all over the hydroxychloroquine. But it's... I happen to feel good about it. But it's not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. Who are you gonna sacrifice? Your mother? But... Uh, so it's amazing, I'm gonna stop. I don't need to say any more about it. The best podcast in the universe! It's real, it's not a joke. It's real.
