Antigenic Drift

00:00 Got a box I took off the truckie for you. Five years of fish! And broadcasting live from Opportunity Zone 33 here in the frontier of Austin, Texas, capital of the drone star state. Good morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from northern Silicon Valley where we're into year two of COVID. And where's the Kraken? I'm John C. DeVore. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill. In the morning! Well forget COVID and the Kraken, we got a Brexit situation going down.

00:40 Good take it deal is done, and we have no idea exactly what's in the deal I'm sorry you're cracking me up. Yes So I watched some of the live announcement this morning And man, a lot comes to mind here, but the devil will be in the details. Boris is running around like he's got, like he's a peacock strutting his stuff. Oh yes, we've got it done. And the first thing I read in like the first release notes is, well, at least for the next five years, fish will be safe in the North Sea. So this is, you know exactly what's going on here. I think the EU

01:30 Somehow put the squeeze on Boris and this happened in between shows so I'm just surmising stuff that has happened in the past week. They had this very contagious new variant all of a sudden, still not captured, proven. I mean it's very iffy as to what that is. Everyone's talking about it. And right away the EU locked down the UK. I thought on the eve of the Brexit negotiations ending this had to be some kind of pressure tactic. Oh really? You don't you want to see what it's like when when we're not friends? Watch this bitch.

02:07 And they just shut it down. You could see the trucks from space. That's how many trucks were lined up trying to get across the channel. And then all of a sudden it's like, well, okay, we're going to ease it up a little bit two days later. And then Brexit's announced. Tell me that's a coincidence? Am I just I think not. I don't think so either. It's too much of a, too weird of a coincidence. Nah, no way. And this phony baloney second strand of COVID, which is the common cold. It's a variant. It's a variant, my friend. It's a variant. A variant, yeah, that's what the common cold is. I have a couple of clips regarding the variant because I think this, seeing as how well it worked in the UK,

02:55 Might as well use it on the rest of the slaves of Gitmo Nation. This might be a good little tool. Just tell people there's a new variant that's much more contagious and whoa, be afraid. The common cold is much more contagious. This variant of the virus is stoking some alarm with some countries temporarily blocking travel from the UK. But so far experts are saying it's no more lethal or transmissible than the current strain. This is ABC World News Tonight. So what do we need to know? Yeah, I mean on such a day of such optimism with the vaccine now we're dealing with this new variant and there is some cause for concern. I don't give some reasons why scientists are sort of concerned about this. This particular variant one this version is replacing rapidly other versions of the virus and we've seen this rapid increase in cases in some regions of England. This variant has mutations actually 17 mutations which is a lot of variants that we've seen historically and there. Wait a minute.

03:52 Isn't a mutation a variant? I don't understand. Now, now this variant has seven mutations of its own? That doesn't sound that sounds weird. It's just gobbledygook. Well, they they're really pushing it, John, really pushing this shit. On the part of the virus, the spike protein that is entered, that use that is used for entry into the cells. So these mutations potentially are creating increased transmissibility of the virus. But there's some important caveats. One, we see variants like this emerge all the time and the data is very early. And so it could be biased with the fact that we saw increased mobility and travel. And so maybe we're just seeing artifacts of data. And there's really no evidence that this virus is more lethal.

04:37 Okay, so this is no evidence yet. It was used in the UK and everyone got freaked out I'm gonna go back and forth between ABC and CBS for a moment to show you some differences or similarities So that's ABC now we have CBS with Michael Osterholm Now this is the guy who I think is responsible for freaking a lot of people out early on in March when I was on Joe Rogan's show. He came on right after me and he was the guy saying it's going to be two and a half million dead, this is horrible, you have no idea what's going on. And he was rewarded. He is now in the coronavirus team for the president apparent.

05:15 here he is talking about this new strain. It's not just in the UK. I do want to ask you about this new strain of the coronavirus being identified in both the UK and South Africa. What does it mean for us here in the United States? Well, first of all, let me just say that I don't speak for the Biden-Harris transition team. These are my own professional opinions. Oh, okay. I'm very concerned about this. I think that it does represent a real challenge to us globally and that this particular variant, which is very different than any of the previous variants we've seen. How come we didn't hear about any previous variants? We were saying, hey, it looks like this is mutated. There's a bunch of things about this guy. One, he's just got the voice. He's got an incredible voice of authority. Oh yeah.

06:00 He's got the right tone, he doesn't stammer, he's not all excited. He's just got a beautiful voice of authority. This guy could do some damage. This is why I like when he starts off by saying, just so you know, I don't speak for the Biden-Harris transition team. I speak on my own. Hold on, hold on. Oh, ladies and gentlemen, here we go. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Same old, same old, going at moderate speed. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a Zephyr report where 7 is the new normal. It used to be 8, but we know the mail wagon is no longer attached. Please alert the guys at Swakbox CNBC. We have a stable economy. We're running forward into the new year. Bitcoin, $23,212. Oh my God! Woo! Listen to that horn! Bitcoin has kind of benefited, you might have noticed.

06:46 I don't know, a bit. I'm just kicking ass. Could very well substantially increase transmission of this virus and for the fact of how the vaccines and others may protect us is really unclear at this point. I find that interesting because a lot of people are asking this morning we've said that this virus is potentially 70% more contagious what does that actually mean? How does a virus become more contagious? Well, what happens is in part the virus actually makes it to a much higher level in an individual. Wasn't that good? It was just a pause that refreshes. So how does it happen? How does it work? What does that actually mean? How does a virus become more contagious?

07:29 Well, what happens is in part the virus actually may grow to a much higher level in an individual's throat and respiratory tract and there's actually data from England supporting that, that the people who are infected with this strain actually have more virus, which then might very well make them more infectious. And if that's the case, all you have to do is increase even marginally the number of people that any one individual infects and then you have potentially very rapid growth of the virus in the community that wouldn't have happened otherwise. And that I think is what's actually being seen right now in England. I'm gonna give you the whole load today. That's right baby, the new variant gonna give you the whole load. Let's go back to ABC to Dr. John Brownstein and let's see if there's gonna be a problem with the vaccines. I think the question on everyone's mind, you mentioned the good news about the vaccine

08:18 So could this impact the efficacy of the vaccines that have now been deployed in any way? So, so far scientists don't believe so. We think that it takes years for these mutations to build up in a way that they would have an impact on the vaccine. Unlike monoclonal antibodies, vaccines make actually what we call polyclonal antibody response and that means that there are multiple ways that the vaccine can protect you. So, a few mutations of the virus will not impact the ability for the vaccine to prevent you from getting severe COVID disease, the bigger concern is around what we call antigenic drift. And this is the change in the virus over time. This is what the- Hold on a second. What do you call that? Anthrogenic- Antigenic drift. Beautiful. Can I do that in my sports car? Can you put that down as a possible show title? Antogenic, is that what he said? Anti, antigenic drift. Antigenic drift. This is an awesome word.

09:15 And I said it, and I mean it. We can use this. You can pick up chicks with this word. The bigger concern is around what we call antigenic drift. But not with that voice. This is the change in the virus over time. This is what the flu virus is undergo, which means that we need a new flu virus vaccine. every year. And so what we're thinking more is the long-term needs of vaccines and how we may need to change this vaccine over time. But the concern immediately over the existing vaccines are just not there, and we should be proceeding as we have been, thinking that we're going to really have an impact on this virus with mass vaccinations over the coming months. Right. So then you go over to CNN, and Sanjay Gupta has a whole produced piece explaining

09:57 Kind of but he leaves a lot open again I feel this variant or new variants or whatever they want to do is going to be used in the future against us to keep us locked down and I think to get a vaccine every year. Mutation is a word that conjures up all kinds of images. Radioactive waste, viruses, they're generally not pleasant. But the truth is mutations aren't always dangerous. For viruses, they're actually pretty mundane usually. We have genetic material, DNA, in all of our cells. As cells multiply and DNA gets copied, mistakes get made. In fact, your DNA mutates all the time and you almost never notice. But sometimes those changes do matter. They can be good changes, linked for example to lower risk of diabetes. Or they can be harmful, for example the mutations that can cause cancer.

10:54 Viruses mutate as well, especially those with genetic material made of RNA. RNA is one strand instead of two strands, and it mutates even more easily than DNA does. Usually, these mutations are neutral or even harmful to the virus, possibly making it less lethal. But this also explains why there's a new flu vaccine every year. Flu viruses constantly change, and these changes can eventually make the virus unrecognizable to the immune system, meaning the antibodies we had from last year's flu shot no longer really protect us. The novel coronavirus has mutated in a way that affects its spike protein.

11:32 That's a protein that allows it to enter human cells. And while this mutation may make it spread more easily from person to person, it doesn't seem to make people any sicker. Okay, there you go. We might need a new vaccine just like the flu vaccine, but don't worry, it doesn't really seem like it makes anybody sicker. But you know what? If you have a city that needs bailing out, excuse me, If you have a stimulus relief bill on the table possibly coming through which benefits your town, your city, You know, you might just want to say this variant is here and good to go. Tonight, Britain locking down again with more than 40 countries banning travel to and from the UK. This after a new potentially more contagious mutation of the virus was confirmed and is spreading rapidly. As soon as we were briefed in UK government on the fast transmissibility

12:32 of this new strain. We took prompt and decisive action. What has people alarmed is how infectious this version may be. Early estimates indicate that it could be as much as 70% more contagious. The WHO also seeing an increase in the infection rate. But scientists around the world aren't convinced yet, saying more studies needed. The head of Operation Warp Speed saying they're now awaiting more evidence. I think scientifically to date, there is no hard evidence that this virus is actually more transmissible. Despite dozens of countries banning flights from the UK, planes are still coming into the US without government restrictions. The authorities say they haven't found the strain here yet. I believe intuitively it's already here. There you go. This will be used against the city of New York. New strain, new variant. Careful, stay home.

13:35 Until we have some money Everything is the way I see it. There's three things going on. Okay one You've got the ABC CBS thing when you show the comparison you you see one network getting more money Yes, yeah, whatever. Yep. Oh So there's an ad buy involved here. Trying to normalize the ad buys between the two networks. The other one is, there have been a lot of articles before that have been going on for about a month

14:12 discussing the possibility of needing a shot a year. Yes. Because that's just money in the bank. Because these flu guys, why should they make all the money? We can have more expensive product and make it harder to get around. Aren't the flu guys the same as the COVID guys? It's the same guys. The flu guys have kind of, I think they branched off into just specialists. Oh, there's actual flu guys now. Call the flu guys. Yeah, they're called the flu guys and they also will clean your chimney. For an extra E. And the other one is I think that there's an element of the vaccine doesn't work in this report. That is, in other words, you get the shot, you get the shot, you get the shot, you get the end up getting COVID. No, no, no, you got the variant. Yeah, that's a good one. Oh no, man, you got the variant. Sorry.

15:06 Back to square one. This could be just a backstop for if it fails. Oh, okay. Pretty good trick. In other words, you give people a shot that's useless. Yeah. And then when they get to COVID, which is probably still low, the opportunity for getting it is low, especially at the end of the cycle here. There's nothing going around except for these tests. Tests indicate a lot of stuff that's bullcrap. And so you get in and getting COVID after the vaccine, you need something, they need to tell you something. Why did I spend all this? Why did you? Yeah, yeah. There was something that a lot of our producers caught in the last show just regarding the vaccine.

15:48 that we need to ask questions about. This was the Fauci clip with the kids where he's talking about Santa Claus and that he went and he vaccinated them, that he vaccinated Santa. But there was something he said here which both of us missed because you know we were so incensed by this a-hole lying to children. How did Santa get the vaccine? And is it safe for him to go in the house? I have to say I took care of that for you because I was worried that you'd all be upset. So what I did a little while ago, I took a trip up there to the North Pole. I went there and I vaccinated Santa Claus myself. I measured his level of immunity. Right there. What's this? I measured his level of immunity. I've not heard this. Good catch by whoever caught it. Multiple producers.

16:54 What? Well, it's catchable. And can you give someone a vaccine, fictional or not, and then, I mean, I can't believe we're actually discussing this, and then check their immunity right away? Is that a thing? He's lying to children. He's lying. It's just a lie. He didn't check. Well, he's lying anyway because he never gave Santa a shot. Right. So he's a liar. Ignore that and assume he gave somebody a shot. Some real person a shot that was outside of the North Pole somebody lived in the United States and maybe was a nurse Gave her a shot and then checked her level of immunity, but how do you do that? I've never heard of this bullcrap. Okay. Thank you I just wanted to make sure it's concerning that Fowchee would throw that out there Maybe you know what? maybe somebody did some studies early on and this the more sore your arm is and

17:48 The more painful the shot is, the more your immunity is going on. There was some guy who was getting a shot on one of these shows and he actually said that. Or he said, oh my, they were discussing it, the guy, I got my shot this morning, the guy says, well how do you feel? He says, well my arms really sore. And the other guy, or he said, one of them said, oh that means it's working. The pain means it's this the the severe pain means it's working your vaccine science the science is in Vaccine is working when it hurts like crap. Well, it finally happened. We we reached stage 5 here in Austin, Texas

18:29 And now in California we'd be locked down and they'd be welding the door shut. Now Abbott, our governor, has said I'm not going to lock down the state come hell or high water. Adler, our mayor, has an obvious problem. He needs to virtue signal, he needs to show that he's concerned, he needs to say something but not too much because you know he's kind of on the ropes with his timeshare visiting Cabo where family timeshare where he was telling everyone to shut up and stay indoors. Here's a quick report. Texas just reported a record

19:08 Record high number of new coronavirus infections. Infections! Not cases, now it's infections. And we've reached the highest local risk level, stage 5. Hospitalizations are spiking and Christmas is just two days away. Enhanced restrictions are recommended. Recommended, aha! You see, here's where it gets interesting. In the Austin-Travis County area. Here's what that means. Businesses including restaurants are advised to move to a curbside pickup and delivery. You see what's happening here? Advised. They're being asked to do something. There is no mandate. He can't do it. Only model. Yeah, that's kind of what it is around here too.

19:47 Mmm, I disagree. They're not giving restaurants citations if they stay open. And the restaurants, every... well, I don't need to play the report. They're all saying, yeah, we'll be extra careful. They're not going to close down. They're not doing it anymore. They're not going to be destroyed this Christmas. No, I'm just saying that's the same as it is... the part that's the same as it is here, is if you really look into it, these are all advisories. The fact that they shut down the restaurants is different. But is the restaurant shutdown, is that mandatory? I thought that was mandatory in California.

20:29 The only thing that's mandatory is you can't have indoor dining. Right, so they have not done any of that here. You can have in... they say please do curbside. Apparently a bunch of scofflaws there in Texas. They're risking the health of the public. The public is okay. In fact Florida's the same way. They've done nothing. I talked to Horowitz about this. They've done nothing. Everything's wide open. Go to the beaches. The beaches are open. And how does he feel about it? Well, he's... He has mixed feelings about it because he's really turned into a kind of a liberal. Oh man, you're gonna do that again on the show at the end of the year? He's gonna kick you off that D8. It's just gonna be... It's gonna be hunplugged. I'm gonna tell you what, I'm gonna let Cher and his sister make the final determination on what his politics are. I pulled a clip, a classic clip from almost 10 months ago. I think this was yours.

21:24 Just to remind you what we're headed into and and it's it's a tad bit frustrating Where we called so many things happening and saw them so early from the PCR, which is not a test The cycle count stayed on that for a long time the death count from it's oh my god I've got a couple of the tick-tock doctors on that one but one thing we said very early on is get ready for it because this is where we're headed and We're going to a different place which is a new normal a new normal a new normal a new normal a new normal new normal embrace the new normal the new normal the new normal the new normal the new normal this new normal is gonna look very very different not normal but a new normal the new normal a new normal there will be a new normal a new normal you normal a new normal

22:14 The new normal. The new normal. The new normal. This is the new normal. This is our new normal. Our new normal. Our new normal. Our new normal. New normal. The new normal. Our new normal. We will transition into the new normal. This will be the new normal until a vaccine is developed. And we have the vaccine and your new normal is about to show up. That's exactly what they promised us. Until the vaccine. Then we get the real new normal. And that's what it's going to be. It's going to be freedom passes, it's going to be all kinds of groovy stuff. Freedom passes. Oh yeah, oh no, I have freedom pass stuff. Oh yeah, oh it's coming baby. Hold on. This is NBC News with an update on, well I think they call it the health pass. Don't worry, freedom pass is a better name. Proving you've been vaccinated will be vital and tech companies are designing ways to show it. Waylon Kent has more on that.

23:09 Vaccines on the horizon, new health apps are springing to life. IBM and Clear. Apps are springing to life. The tech company known for expediting security screenings at airports are both creating new apps to take in real-time vaccination information. They could eventually be used for admission to concerts and live sports. So here's how it works. The app gives you a health pass to show before you go into big stadiums like this to streamline the process, to make it safer and faster. for you to get to your seat. It'll flash green if your health information meets requirements. The stadium or venue would not see your personal health data. Everything is opt-in and you control your information. But how much information will Clear have even though the stadium may only see the green? It's a secure identity platform. We don't hold your health data. The LA Football Club. Notice how they chopped up what must have been a 20-minute interview.

24:04 into the most important things. Hey, listen, as you're making this report, I just want you to cut it up just so all we need to have from her is she says we don't have your data, your data safe. That's why I just it's the obligatory part in the report. Make it seven seconds. The media may only see the green. It's a secure identity platform. We don't hold your health data. The L.A. Football Club, a major league soccer team, says Health Pass is part of their reopening plan next year. How much do you need to technology like this to be able to fill these seats again. It's going to be a must. It's an expectation of government officials that ultimately will decide when and how we can bring fans back.

24:45 We also want to know that when we get up to go to a concession stand, when we walk into the team store, that the other team... Notice that he's saying, whenever you spend money of us, we want to make sure that you're safe doing it. We want you to come back and do it again. When and how we can bring fans back. We also want to know that when we get up to go to a concession stand, when we walk into the team store, that the other people that came through the gates and are here with us are also safe. For live events, Ticketmaster is exploring several options, including a smartphone verification system for vaccination status and negative tests.

25:25 The Australian government has also said it may require proof of vaccination in the future for entry into the country. A glimpse into a vaccinated future and a new normal. Joe Lincoln, NBC News, Los Angeles. We are in a technology pharma controlled biosecurity state. and you'll have to learn to live with it. It's your new normal. Now, if you are on the wrong side of things, we may have to punish you with the new normal. This is Anna Navarro. There's something that really gets stuck I think in my craw and other people's craw. The idea that people who have been enabling Donald Trump downplaying the COVID virus, calling it a hoax, who have

26:10 attended, spoken at, encouraged, promoted and participated in so many of his reckless rallies where people have been packed like sardines and have spoken at these rallies knowing people are there maskless who have attended super spreader events at the White House. We've seen you know so many people get infected with COVID at them and then And then after they've been selfish, after they've been reckless, after they've been servile to Donald Trump, then they get to jump the line and go in front of people who are in nursing homes and go in front of people who've been risking their lives for 10 months. What a bigoted creep that woman is. If you supported Donald Trump, no vaccine for you. We're going to kill you.

27:00 And that goes pretty much unchallenged. That's fantastic. Of course not. Who's going to challenge you? I love it. I love it. It's really good. This is a fun time to be a podcaster. It's just beautiful. This is, oh yeah, this was a good one. We have a real problem. We need to get 300 million people to take this vaccine and there's some apprehension. Most notably amongst our black community. It's a community people go find the zip code Let me know where it is, and they have good reason from the Tuskegee experiments and this needed to be addressed It needed to be there's a lot of stuff, but this needed to be addressed so we roll out the surgeon general Dr. Jerome Adams, and he's of course he's a member of the black community and

27:51 So he's the one to convey the message and he does a great job. People talk about Tuskegee all the time, but a lot of people don't know what happened in 1932. Black men who had syphilis were recruited into a government study and told they would be treated for their syphilis. Unfortunately, there was never an intent to treat these men. It was intended to follow them. But what's really horrific is that 15 years into that study, they actually came up with a treatment for syphilis, an effective treatment, and it was not given to these men. And this study went on for 40 years. And what people don't know is the Office of the Surgeon General actually oversaw that study, the United States Public Health Service. So every day I walk into my office, I walk past a wall of men who actually did this to people like me.

28:40 And I'm sorry it makes me a little bit emotional when I talk about this, but this is something that we have to acknowledge. We have to acknowledge that this has happened to people and that mistrust comes from a historical place. I don't know if that really helped any. I don't think it helped at all, but there is a twist that they could employ if they had some sense, which is that the thing that happened in Tuskegee, which is what he mentions, is that the treatment was withheld. They weren't experimented on like Dr. Mengele, let's say. They had zero treatment. They were told they were given treatment. So they had no treatment. So the way to play it is that, oh, look, we don't want to give the black community the vaccine. We want to withhold it.

29:29 We want to withhold it once again, and they would demand the vaccine and they would all take it. Once I have the zip code or the area zip code of the black community, I'll send you there and you can try that one out. I think it's in Oakland. No, that's as white as hell these days. What are you talking about? No, no. There's no black community in Oakland anymore. When they pass 35th Avenue, it's all black. and it's called the black community is a sign. So the Chinese Communist Party, I mean the World Health Organization has decided to use TikTok a fine

30:09 Chinese platform to deploy the tick-tock doctors. We've spoken about it before. Newsday Australia, I guess that's the Murdoch station, there's some disdain for China in general in Australia, did quite a piece on these tick-tock doctors. Explaining how a vaccine works isn't easy. So these tick tocking scientists have got creative. They're dancing, obviously, this is the TikTok way. Answering all sorts of questions to allay vaccine concerns and promote confidence.

30:50 They're part of Team Halo, an international group of experts put together by the UN. And they've generated more than 20 million views on TikTok. Now do you think that they're popular and they've generated more than 20 million views? Or do you think the Chinese algorithm has been generating 20 million views by forcing it in front of people? Don't worry. We know in China, you know, it doesn't take much more than a couple of blinks and you get 20 million. Right. But this is the U.S. version. Oh, it's probably an algo. U.S. and world views. Oh, no, it's an algo. And it's pushing in front of everybody. Obviously, it says U.S. and world. It's believe me, wouldn't take much. And they've generated more than 20 million views. By the way, that's what TikTok success is. TikTok's algo is its success. It

31:44 Whether it's manual or not, they pick the hits, the ones that are great and they just throw them at everybody. It's a very sticky algo. On TikTok. Here we've been working almost exclusively on making a COVID-19 vaccine. Anyway, I picked one of these out. This is Dr. Kat. We've played some of her stuff before. Very irritating woman from Team Halo. She's got the big exaggerated glasses I think they're you know red sometimes they're white so you really know that's the crazy doctor lady dr. Kat from the tick tocks yeah and she's gonna tell us how we're wrong wrong wrong about the death tolls it's it's you have no idea what you're talking about you idiots hey dr. Kat epidemiologist I've been

32:28 I've been talking since the summer and in videos like this one about excess mortality and how we have more deaths than expected in 2020 versus previous years. Despite this, there are people committed to spreading the misinformation that we're actually on track to have fewer deaths in 2020. To arrive at this conclusion, they're using provisional death counts from the CDC website and comparing those back to final death counts from previous years. So it's okay for everybody else to look at numbers and report them at the moment on the spot as true. But it's not true because it's provisional and you're being dishonest. Okay. I talked in this video about why that is not an appropriate method. Okay. So now in 2020, it's been announced that we are on track for the first time in US history to have more than 3 million deaths in a single year. It's kind of what epidemiologists have been saying all along.

33:25 I'm hoping now we can all get on board that this virus is not a hoax and that people are dying and they're dying in greater numbers than expected. Thank you very much. Well, if you really look at the numbers, Dr. Katt, sure it went from 2.85 million to 3 million, so that's 150,000 more. We didn't take into account any population growth, did we, Dr. Katt? No, of course not. It's also the aging population. There's a lot of things in here, but they but they did Amy Goodman did the same thing and the way she did I'm trying to see if I can find the clip would be labeled with a head this Had a very similar thing. She went on about this, but she Oh three million dead. Is that the one? No. Yeah, that must be it now listen to it the reason I clipped this is because

34:17 They're just, they're starting to push this and you just confirmed it with that, with the cat clip. Which is that they're now trying to equate the total death count of the country with COVID to confuse the public. I'll bet you if you went up to the man on the street and asked him at some point, did you hear about three million dead from COVID? They'd say, oh yeah, yeah, it's bad. Yeah, I know. It's horrible. Don't you think? I absolutely think that's what they're trying to do here because there's no other reason to be discussing this. Well, the United States hit the grim milestone of the worst day yet of the coronavirus pandemic this week with 3,350 COVID related deaths Tuesday alone. This comes amidst reports that 2020 has been the deadliest year in U.S. history.

35:07 The United States is on track to top 3.2 million deaths this year with 400,000 more deaths than in 2019. Wow! That's just throwing the three million out there. Yeah. Yeah. And this is the same thing, there's no difference in this sort of, I would call, jargon creep or whatever you want to call it, where they change the rules of like all of a sudden we go from cases to infections, you know, or test positive. test positive equals cases, cases equals infections, thus test positives equals infections. They keep doing this, this sort of thing. It's just a way of... From day one, John. It's very dishonest. From day one, they've been changing numbers, changing graphs, flatten the curve.

35:59 I mean, hospitalization rates, save the NHS. You know, and I wanted to say something to Australia. I was talking to James Cridland. He does pod news. Oh, by the way, Merry Christmas, Australia. Yes, indeed. Merry Christmas, Australia. And I said, you know, so how's it going over there? He says, yeah, it's actually, it's not too bad. We're open everywhere. I think he said Sydney has a few problems, but here's where they're at in Australia. They think that it's done, that they've succeeded. They don't understand, Australia. You are three months behind us. Please learn. I've been trying to warn you every step of the way. So this is what we had. This was the summer months. Everyone's like, ah, it's going to be okay. We're letting up. And then your flu season comes, which is opposite ours, down under. So you're going to be locked down in a couple of months. Just be ready for it or be ready to counter the bull crap.

37:01 But already, Australia has their system where wherever you go, any restaurant, any building, anywhere you enter, you have to scan a QR code, which then leaves your contact information. So it's their high tech version of writing down, in Austin we had that a couple times, you write down your contact information. So since people obviously were falsifying that information, you now have to log into a QR code anywhere you go to sit down. To which I said, congratulations Australia, you've just reinvented Foursquare. You should gamify it. Hey, I'm the mayor! I'm the mayor of Starbucks! But the biggest problem they have right now, and again I warn our friends down under, be careful. The biggest problem they have is there is a shortage of Marmite.

37:57 Which, yeah, there's no more Marmite. What are you gonna do? It's, I think it's called... Start shriveling up. It's called Armate there. And the reason why is, it's in short supply is because apparently it's made of beard dregs. Yeah, that's what, they didn't know how to recycle there in Australia. Which begs the question, what are you eating on your bread over there, Australia? Beard dregs. I think that is what this makes of it. Yes, that's what he told me. Anyway, so in a way we want to feel hopeful and we want to look forward and the people who believe that all these things will help them, it will make a huge difference, but we're being scared. And I agree with you. If you say, did COVID kill 3 million people in the US? People say yes. If you said, do you know that 3 million people a year die in America? The majority will say, no way. No, you got to be kidding me. No, that can't be possible.

38:59 I'm sure of it. It is gross misunderstanding and a total lack in education. Total luck, but we've got the president apparent on his way Joe Biden. He had his holiday message His holiday message before I take questions. I like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Hold on. Let me give him a look. I need to spike this up a little bit Let me give for his holiday message. Let's give Joe Biden some sleigh bells Before I take questions I'd like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays This has been one of the toughest years we've ever faced as a nation. And the pandemic, the economic crisis, calls for racial justice, historic and punishing wildfires and storms. So this season of reflection carries a much deeper meaning than it usually does.

39:55 over 320,000 lives lost to this virus. And Jill and I send our prayers, as I'm sure all of you do, to all who are facing this dark winter with an empty seat at the dinner table where a loved one used to sit and talk and laugh and reminisce. Our hearts go out to all of you who have fallen on hard times. Through no fault of your own, I might add, Unable to sleep at night. Weighed down with the worry of what tomorrow will bring for you and for your family. Merry Christmas, Joe! The whole thing is like that. This is not a Christmas message. Well, I'm sorry, holiday message as they positioned it. This is just horrible. It's... the guy sounds like he's a walking dead. It's so bad.

40:47 But I did realize one thing as we move towards the Build Back Better zone and the universal Great Reset, which still to me looks like the idea is let's ruin economies by killing small business. That gives us extra damage. Let's try and do it everywhere and then we'll swoop in. And Joe Biden is saying very clearly We're going to get you money while you're locked down, and I get some more stimulus for you, and then we're going to build back better with new industry, and we'll get money to build new stuff. You know, the green new jobs. It is part of the system. And so for Scott Adams, who doesn't listen, doesn't even know the name of our show, who says the Great Reset is bullshit, even though he's been interviewed on it, who says it's bullcrap, the Great Reset, oh yeah, some guy says it, so what?

41:39 Very, very short-sighted because it's so big he can't see it. But it's real. It's real. It's real! So this comes amongst the backdrop of something that delighted me, just delighted me, and I see you have a couple clips about it, so I'm going to toss it to you in a moment. This is the COVID stimulus bill, which was so completely botched on its rollout that they screwed it up to no end. The minute you hear people saying, well we're giving money to Venezuela in our stimulus, it's because it wasn't a stimulus bill. For months, for months, Congress has been trying to pass, you know, it's the funding bill, it's the omnibus in order to fund the government so we don't shut down, which was quietly renewed with 24-hour periods over the last week.

42:41 You have to put a huge spending bill into place for the next year. I'm delighted to see that now everybody sees what we've been seeing and looking at and talking about for 13 years. This is where all the bullshit goes, all the deals, it all goes into this and they smother it with by putting it into multiple, multiple acts into one big spending bill. So the National Defense Authorization Act, which the president had been threatening to veto because it did not include, he feels, a section 230 change or repeal because he feels that Chinese companies or Chinese influence companies cause, it's a cause for national security concern.

43:29 Obviously we just hate the Twitter and the Facebook, but that's also in here. So we have 900 billion dollars for circles. Well actually they are separate enough that Trump did veto the NDAA. Well you can veto each individual one, no problem, and the COVID stimulus is Section M of this omnibus bill. So instead of saying, here it is, they said, oh, here's this whole bill, and then everyone, and all the stations were conflating this. It's like, okay, this is kind of cool because now people see how your money is getting stolen every single day by Congress for these weird things.

44:14 And the beauty of it is, the total bill, which no one is really talking about, is not $900 billion. The total bill is $2.3 trillion, of which more than $700 billion is just for the National Defense Authorization Act, which the president has sent back. So we'll see if they add anything. So that's almost the whole nut there and then there's all kinds of weird crap that they threw in there which is actually quite funny to look at and a couple we'll discuss. But what people are doing now is they're calculating saying, wait a minute, if you get 600 bucks, so let's say that's 300 million Americans, let's just do it simple math, get 600 bucks, that's 180 billion dollars. Out of 2.3 trillion, now people are getting mad and I'm very happy to see this. And the still president is throwing

45:07 Gas on the fire. Throughout the summer, Democrats cruelly blocked COVID relief legislation in an effort to advance their extreme left wing agenda and influence the election. Then a few months ago, Congress started negotiations on a new package to get urgently needed help to the American people. It's taken forever. However, the bill they are now planning to send back to my desk is much different than anticipated. It really is a disgrace. For example, among the more than 5,000 pages in this bill, which

45:43 which nobody in Congress has read because of its length and complexity. Okay, I'm gonna stop him right there. That's bullshit. And AOC said this as well. Oh, we were given just two hours to read it. And we all know that there's rules that Obama put in place that there had to be 72 hours in order for the American people to see it. 72 hours online. But it's a lie. That's just people backpedaling once they saw the outrage of the failed rollout. These bills have been on the table for months. These have been discussed ad nauseum, every single one of them. So it's a total bullcrap lie. And I did like how Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted

46:29 The dilemma many were dealing with was because these things weren't tied together. It made clean COVID relief impossible. You can largely thank Mitch for that. I'm not saying this is all one party, but he's awful. And then she goes on to say, and then she says, anyways, the omnibus has most of the gross stuff. Anyways. It's a plague. As long as she doesn't say any who. She'll get there. It's called the COVID relief bill. No, it's not. But it has almost nothing to do with COVID. This bill contains $85.5 billion for assistance to Cambodia. See, that's literally not in Section M. So he's being very disingenuous, but I think it's extremely effective.

47:18 $134 million to Burma, $1.3 billion for Egypt and the Egyptian military, which will go out and buy almost exclusively Russian military equipment. $25 million for democracy and gender programs in Pakistan. This is a good one. This is either CIA black budget, or this is some congressman's kickback scheme. What the hell is that? You know there's an NGO who's getting this money. There's something really fishy about that particular thing he puts it on. I mean he makes little comments about each one of these like he did about the Russian arms. Yeah. Which is accurate. Yeah. But this one here when I heard it I said this is just...

48:09 this is your right it's just some sort of a scheme or a C.I.A. money or some bull crap. He's highlighting it for a reason. And in fact I think that when they even make some of these they I think they put them together to sound like a joke so there's a wink wink in the bill itself, in the use of it. Gender studies in Pakistan? That's black ops man. That's definitely shady money. 1.3 billion dollars for Egypt and the Egyptian military which will go out and buy almost exclusively Russian military equipment.

48:46 $25 million for democracy and gender programs in Pakistan. $505 million to Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama. $40 million for the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., which is not even open for business. $1 billion for the Smithsonian And an additional $154 million for the National Gallery of Art. Likewise, these facilities are essentially not open. And then there's another problem with some of these elderly.

49:28 lawmakers in Congress who can't keep any of the money straight. They don't, they can't even do math. This is Republican Senator John Kennedy. Oh, it's real help. It's a trillion dollars for God's sakes. What is that? One thousand million dollars? And I mean, I'm done. I'm just done. One thousand million dollars is a billion. You oaf, you boob. That's what I mean. It's like, so I'm kind of happy that people are seeing how this works and how your money is spent. My favorite piece in this bill, which just for effect we will call the COVID stimulus bill because then it sounds more like we hate it, is it would make illegal streaming of copyrighted content a felony. This was a good one they shoved in there.

50:30 Little help for the idea. I missed that one There's a lot of stuff they shove in these things and this is really pathetic and and just slip some of these things in there just as because they can Because they know know what there's never pass on its own It's really abhorrent and this is the way Congress operates and people are starting to see it Which I see as a benefit and I and I appreciate what Trump did there. Well, you don't advice not to give this speech. I He was advised of a lot of things you want to know some I have a cracking update if you want it It's not that long. Well, let's finish this because it do the kovat. Yeah, you're right the reason for having this particular long clip and then Is to follow up with the way the networks? Yes held held them to held his feet to the eyes They left all what you're hearing now. They left they wouldn't even discuss any of it

51:19 I mean, Rand Paul was one of the few guys who would. Yeah, it's great. They just won't discuss it. No, no, no, no, we're the media. We don't want to discuss it. We don't want the public to know anything. It might be illegal for you to view that, citizen. Only we can look at that. Yes, my all-time favorite. Let's finish this guy up. Yeah, he's done. Trump is done. Oh, I had a I had the whole thing. Oh nice. The whole thing was long and well you did the whole thing incorporates more stuff It's funny you started at the same spot at that. I don't think we need to play the whole thing I want to hear the response is more interesting to well the reason I wanted to play the whole thing I don't we don't have to but I'll summarize is that he says a lot more afterwards about how these one wants to deal with it and the part that he says afterwards which is that they got us fixed this is

52:09 in a nutshell. That's all the networks play. They refuse to play any of the boondoggle and pork crap that he went on and on about, which is what his speech was really about. Did you also see in the COVID bill, and they should have mentioned this, because there's 80 billion for rolling out vaccines, which I thought was already pre-approved and put into budget and Operation Warp Speed was already funded. I could be wrong. But there was a... No. The answer is no. No, it's not? They didn't mention any of that. Here, let's listen to the reports and you can hear what they mentioned. Let's just start with Shep Smith. The Shep Smith Show on MSNBC. And this is Shep Smith on the COVID bill, part one.

52:57 Well, Shepa, leadership aid described the mood as one of irritation and befuddlement after President Trump's 11th hour challenge to members of Congress who had already left Washington having passed the $2 trillion, $5,000 plus page bill covering both government funding through September. of seek unanimous support for $2,000 checks and in response McCarthy's plan is to address President Trump's concern on spending by separating out State Department and foreign aid from the rest of government spending. Democrats are expected to object to that.

53:51 and we will be back again at square one. The question then becomes, will the president actually veto it? The New York Times is reporting that McCarthy told his Republican colleagues on a call this afternoon that he talked to the president who told him he hasn't decided whether or not to veto it. Now, Trump could also quietly veto it, the so-called pocket veto, by letting 10 days lapse before signing it, but unemployment benefits would expire and the government would shut down before that actually happened. Chef? Kayla, also before he left, the president vetoed the massive defense spending bill. I was going to say, the one thing that might have been interesting for them to mention was the 3.7 increase across the board in Medicare fees. That was not mentioned.

54:36 That's a lot of money. Nope. That wasn't mentioned and they didn't mention anything. All they did was find still the same old, let's slam Trump one way or the other. And listen to this part two about where she discusses the veto of the NDAA. That's right. This was a separate $740 billion bill funding the military. And he had long said that unless it included protections for the names of military monuments and stripped content protections for these big social media companies that he would veto it. And that's exactly what he did. Those are the reasons that he cited this afternoon in doing so. But some of the Republican senators who had criticized the president for trying to add some of these unrelated issues to defense spending

55:20 are not backing down. Senator Jim Inhofe, who is one who ended up in Trump's crosshairs for refusing to combine specifically the tech and military issues, just today tweeting this in response saying, the NDAA has become law every year for 59 years straight because it's absolutely vital to our national security and our troops. This year must not be an exception. Our men and women who volunteer to wear the uniform shouldn't be denied what they need ever. We should note that that NDAA had a veto proof majority in both chambers and we're expecting the house to meet on December 28th to override that veto. I just realized it struck me that the mainstream media doesn't actually know about these bills. I don't think they really really ever read them or care about them. That's why and they didn't read this one either. They're just going on whatever the the top-line stuff that comes off the wire, whatever the controversy of the day.

56:12 Yeah. Don't even look into... because the president did write a four-page memo about the National Defense Authorization Act. It's too much work. And he's talking about foreign interference, also in elections, and how social media needs to be held accountable for national security. It's not all of a stretch if you listen to all the Russian disinformation talk. Then there should be accountability. And certainly under Section 230. There's also another element that he doesn't like about this, about the NDAA. His main bitch was Section 230. No, there's only one. Oh yeah, no, there's a little more in there. That's not, yeah, there's a couple things in there. His main bitch is about Section 230 and the thing they put in the bill that the president can no longer remove troops. Oh yeah, yes, that he's not in charge of troop drawdowns and there was one more.

57:07 There was one more thing that was in there. There was, I think there was the third item and but no, no, let's listen to how NBC covers it. What do you think that they say that the reason that Trump refused it? This is the worst report of the day. This is, I'm giving myself clip of the day, I won't get it, but because because this people, these people on NBC are shameless and Kayleigh O'Donnell is the worst reporter at the network if you listen to this. Here's the set up, this is the COVIDReal NBC set up clip. Okay. Good evening. Just as it seemed help was on the way to millions of Americans struggling in this COVID-battered economy, President Trump tonight appears to have thrown a monkey wrench into the plan, suggesting he may veto the coronavirus relief bill agreed to by Congress this week. The president demanding bigger amounts in those direct payments to Americans than what Congress spelled out, a position that Democrats are eagerly embracing. Kelly O'Donnell tells us where things stand tonight.

58:07 Okay, I like so now we go to Kelly and she's gonna give us the lowdown here and she is so full of crap and so bigoted and biased that it's an embarrassment to listen to this because I had to Produce it now here. I have to listen to it again. This is the part two right leaving today for Christmas at his Mara President Trump said nothing about his surprise threat that could tank COVID relief for millions in need. People like 36 year old bartender and graduate student Nick Mott. I do feel scared. All of my savings is gone. Mott's income and tips cut by more than half as diners stay home. Counting on emergency aid from that massive $900 billion COVID package that includes $600 direct checks, $300 weekly enhanced unemployment benefits, rental and food assistance. I was really hoping for that. I was really hoping that

59:08 that I could at least have a little bit of comfort again. But in a White House made video, President Trump injected chaos, demanding Congress increase those direct payments to $2,000. Send me a suitable bill or else the next administration will have to deliver a COVID relief package. Today, Speaker Pelosi put pressure on Republicans to answer the president's demand. So far, only silence. Yeah. Only silence from these creeps that don't want to give this poor bartender $600.

59:45 And the way she says it, it's like, he doesn't want to do that, he wants to give him $2,000. And the way she makes it sound as though this is like less money. She starts off the report by making a point that he's going to Mar-a-Lago. He's going to Mar-a-Lago while you're staying at home. Which is the White House, Mar-a-Lago is his second White House, all presidents have them. It's not like a big deal. But now let's get into the real crux of this woman's reportage and her bigotry is in part three. Small businesses on the brink need a second round of loans, like Denver restaurant owner Stephanie Bonin, who was forced to lay off 25 employees at Duo. That is a really, really frightening moment for any entrepreneur, any business owner.

1:00:35 And tonight a separate and stunning veto of the national defense bill. The president rejecting that bipartisan measure in part because it calls for renaming military bases that honor Confederate leaders. Oh yes, that's what it was. That was the third. He's so petty that Trump. What a petty small little man. He vetoed a 700 billion dollar budget for the military because of Confederate names. We're gonna be taking off some military bases. That racist! Can you guys get off of it?

1:01:13 No, no, of course not. TWS, baby. Trump withdrawal syndrome. They're going to have and they're going to go after him. Trump will be in the brig. That's they will not let up. And then they'll still have closed caption cameras peeking in on him to make sure they can do a report on how he's doing. That's their dream. Whenever someone says you people are assholes and you're, which the liberals have been saying to conservatives, and you're Nazis and you want to kill people, remember what you say being yourself. This is what they actually plan themselves. Anyone who was an apologist, meaning you have an opinion,

1:01:54 Oh yeah, all of this is coming to a head. It's going to be very interesting and people should beware. The only way to combat this is to look at your local politics and it's for everybody. This shit is going on all over the world. Every country has a different version, different names, but it's all the same stuff. it's a power promoted by the media they're part of the grab that's the whole thing is a scam yes now let me I got a I got a couple more clips here on the same thing here's Amy this is Amy's version we already we know what Trump said and what he was bitching about and why one things change but now let's hear what Amy Goodman says about the whole thing President Trump threatened to thwart the nine

1:02:36 $900 billion bipartisan coronavirus relief package, which he called a disgrace in a video released on Twitter Tuesday night. Asking Congress to amend this bill and it'd be ridiculously low, $600 to $2,000 or $4,000 for a couple. I'm also asking Congress to immediately get rid of the wasteful and unnecessary items from this legislation and to send me a suitable bill or else the next administration will have to deliver a COVID relief package And maybe that administration will be me.

1:03:25 payments. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer reminded Trump Republicans block the move. Pelosi tweeted Democrats are ready to bring this to the floor this week by unanimous consent. Let's do it. And progressive Congress members Rashida Tlaib and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted last night they already prepared an amendment to add the two thousand dollar payments to the bill. Senator Schumer responded to AOC's tweet, quote, I'm in. What'd you say, Mitch? It is so sad what is happening here. They're tricking the public once again into focusing on what are they going to do? It's going to be a $200 increase or maybe they'll double it, whatever it is. Even $2,000 is a joke compared to what's really going on here.

1:04:18 And they're just, oh no, no, you should be focused on the money. Be focused on the money you're gonna get, because you're gonna get a lot more. And I don't know if you saw Joe's holiday message, but he said right after he's in office, he will go back to Congress and ask for another stimulus bill. This is why I put money in Bitcoin. I don't care what the former New York banker says about immunized money. That's just not, I don't think you can immunize this much. Yes. That's crazy. This is gone out of control. This won't create inflation at all. Not a problem. Well, there was some counter-programming on Fox. They brought out our friend, your friend in particular, and she actually is the only commentator in the whole group that made any common sense. Ah, this must be Tulsi.

1:05:05 Told it like it is and this is the bill Tulsi Gabbard on the COVID bill. Oh, hold on a second. Tulsi... This is Bill. Oh. First word is bill. I got it. So joining me now is Chelsea Gabbard, congresswoman from Hawaii. She is one of two House Democrats who broke with their party and voted against the stimulus bill and she joins us now. Congresswoman, great to have you here tonight. Thank you for being here. So why did you vote against the bill? Because this bill is a slap in the face to the American people. People who are sitting in their cars waiting in line for hours to get free food from the food bank. People who've been without jobs for months.

1:05:41 People are concerned about getting evicted from their apartments or their homes because they haven't been able to pay their rent. To say that it's okay to give hundreds of billions of dollars to corporate special interests, to foreign countries, to the military-industrial complex, but to the American people who are struggling and suffering and who need help the most, you get 600 bucks. It's an absolute insult and the American people deserve better. I have thoughts about Tulsi. First, her new hairdo? Dynamite. Dynamite. It's softened her look, it's given her a slightly intellectual edge, it has a little bit of what the, I would say, the real liberal women like, which is the grey streak.

1:06:29 Uh, kind of great. I think she stopped with a real pinkus where she was going. I didn't see this at all on her, on this Fox show. Oh my goodness. Dynamite new hairdo. And she's retiring from Congress, so I believe Tulsi has financing and she's going to make a serious run. She'd probably make a run at Hirono's spot. She better take Hirono out. Hirono's a moron. But it's also possible... Hirono's an embarrassment to the state of Hawaii. No, you can say to the country. She's... I think it encompasses... Well, she was a country, but now it's a state. No, I think she encompasses all 50 United States as a moron. Well, she's an...

1:07:09 terrible person. So Tulsi, I'm sure that she has something shored up, maybe the Senate, but she also might try again for president. I think she should go for Senate because that's an easy one. And again, she should go for Senate. And I, I think we both predicted she was going to run for the Senate against her Rono during the debates because she doesn't She's not president thing was away. She's a team. That's what my point is. She has a team There's a team working on her. There's a team making good decisions. She's going on Fox when it matters She's breaking from the herd when it matters. She's going to be very popular Probably in in the midterms. I think this is a good move that she's making and when those term come up, I don't know if I know I'm a fan of Tulsi but

1:08:01 She's very easy to... she'll go along and virtue signal when necessary. We've identified this several times. So she has a disingenuous... Yeah, I agree with that too. She's kind of a phony. But let's listen to what she has to say on the NDAA, which I thought was more insight, much more so than all the pundits on CNN combined. You know, on the defense bill, as I said, there is $7 billion in there. We heard from General Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, that he was very concerned about the Chinese buildup of the Navy. He feels that we are unprepared in terms of our

1:08:39 and big massive spending bill that I voted against a couple of nights ago. That's one area where we should be asking questions about how our taxpayer dollars being used in a responsible way that best serves the emergency that we're facing. I think you're also talking about this National Defense Authorization Act. It is, I've actually voted against this bill when it came to the House floor for a couple of reasons. Number one, it is a massive, bloated spending bill. It heightens up the new Cold War we are in with

1:09:30 increasing tensions between the United States and Russia and China, really with serious consequences. We're talking about nuclear armed nations here, and we've got to focus on how we can best de-escalate those tensions. But it also includes a provision in there that ties this president or any president's hands as they're trying to bring our troops home from Afghanistan. Yeah, she nailed it. She got it. Nobody else mentions this. Well, no. That would be off the reservation. This is in the part two of what she has to say. You know, I know Trump vetoed this bill earlier today, and one of the main reasons he did so was because of this provision, Section 230, right? This thing that has to do with giving big tech companies like Google and Facebook and Amazon total legal immunity.

1:10:23 And the reason why he's taken a stand on this, and I support his position on this, is because Congress has failed to act in making sure that the American people have a fair and free opportunity to the public square and to make sure that these tech companies that are censoring people, that are choosing whose voices are heard and whose aren't, taking sides in political elections, that they are not immune from lawsuits. And so I think it's a critical thing to hold Congress's feet to the fire because I've introduced legislation to fix Section 230, other people have as well. They have failed to take action and the American people deserve to know that these big corporations don't have greater influence over their representatives in Congress than the American people do, which is unfortunately the situation that we're in right now.

1:11:14 This is a lot different than what Kelly O'Donnell told us on NBC. That the whole thing that he vetoed it because of the use of different names and Ford Hood. Yeah, racist. His name is Ford Hood. So this is I will say this. I do have one last Tulsi clip where she just this is a little different one. This is she just I included it because I thought you'd get a kick out of this. She goes after AOC. Just quickly before I let you go, I know that you spoke out about the fact that some members of Congress like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was showing off her vaccination. This is your virtue signaling. She did a cute Instagram video of, you know, the whole thing and it sort of rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. What do you want to say about that tonight?

1:12:03 I think of people like my aunt who is, you know, she's 65 years old. She has a severe underlying health condition that's compromised her immune system. She has basically been imprisoned in her home. because she knows that if she goes out, she faces a very real danger of dying if she catches COVID. It is people like my aunt, it is the elderly, the most vulnerable who should be getting this vaccine first, right alongside our first responders and high-risk healthcare workers, because this is really a matter of life and death for them.

1:12:39 For others if my colleagues I've called on them as members of Congress if you are healthy if you were under the age of 65 Join me in refusing to get the vaccine at least it until our seniors and elderly Americans are able to do so Yeah, she did a little Instagram video walking through the woods talking about how horrible this was Yeah, she was an idiot for getting that shot. Hirono's term is up in 2024, so I don't know what Tulsi's gonna do. There's nothing else to run for. Who's the other senator in the state? I think the other senator, I can't remember who it is, but I think they're untouchable. Hirono's the only weak one.

1:13:23 Well, the things to look out for, Noah Jendrenation, to save yourself is very obvious, is to support some local politician, get them on the city council. We got one here, we got Michelle Kelly in Austin. She's not in my district, I supported her. and I don't even know what political affiliation she has but she hated the current city council and the mayor and she doesn't like the camping, the so-called camping. So she has my support. Now we got someone in there. Now I'm gonna go corrupt her. That's how it works. So you do that and then when it comes to social media, find somewhere else. Start your own social media network. Stop with your narcissism. You don't need the likes. You'll find people. Knowagendasocial.com is a good example. Let me get back to COVID for a second to play a couple of contrasting clips. Yeah, a couple of contrasting clips but this time

1:14:24 contrasting both contrast on the same network in the same report. Excellent. I'm always trying new things. That works best. So this is NBC News again and they're talking about the vaccine and the first part of the report it sounds like what's going on with the vaccine and all the people getting vaccinated is good. Okay. But then when they kick it to the reporter, everything going on is bad. And it's, it's It's kind of a subtle self contradictory. It's only a minute 30 combined. But first, let's play the beginning, which is that you're going to hear implications. You're going to feel the vaccine. What's going on is good. This is the good part. Despite calls to stay home, some 85 million Americans are expected to travel for the holidays, stirring fears of a new post holiday covid surge.

1:15:23 But there is encouraging word from the CDC tonight. One million people in the US have now received their first doses of the COVID vaccine, and the US just cut a deal to double its Pfizer doses. More now from Tom Costello. Okay, sounds good. We've got a deal. Sounds good. Everything's possible. A million people. This is good. A million. We're on our way. A million. Yeah. So we're on our way. We're on our way. Okay, it's good. So now Tom apparently didn't get the memo and he didn't write. So he's going to play the same. He's going to be the same information. This is the way you do stock market analysis, by the way. Whatever happens you can make it sound like it's good or bad. Either way. But Castello's gonna give us the same, instead of the up-tempo he's gonna give us the grim version. This is all within a one minute and fifty second

1:16:13 period, they turned it around. Here we go. Tonight, health experts fear a super spreader event is playing out in real time as a million travelers a day fill airports nationwide. I don't have any pre-existing conditions. I'm thin and I'm feeling confident if I do get COVID that I'll survive. The most travelers since the pandemic began, despite official pleas to stay home to ensure loved ones are alive next year too. Many people say they can't stay away from family any longer. We haven't seen my two granddaughters and my daughter since last Christmas.

1:16:49 and they grow so much and we see them on Skype, but it's just not the same thing. 20 states plus DC now have travel restrictions for new arrivals. Concerned about a more infectious strain of COVID in Britain, New York Mayor de Blasio today ordered anyone arriving from the UK to self quarantine. Sheriff's deputies will conduct verification visits. Violators will be fined. If you violate quarantine, $1,000 for the first day. If you violate any day thereafter, $1,000 for each additional day. With vaccinations continuing nationwide, the CDC reports just 1 million Americans had received the Pfizer vaccine by this morning. Wow! Only 1 million! What I expected to hear was

1:17:33 329 million people have not received the vaccine. That would actually be the next step. That would have been the best part. That would have been the best way to do it. But he just says, just only one us, no good. Blown opportunity there. Oh man. Yeah, it was a blown opportunity, but it was bad enough the way this report went down. But this is really, This network is really losing its ability to deliver any kind of consistency. You know, as we discussed before, today's viewer, today's audience,

1:18:09 is not even watching cable news. They're watching clips on YouTube and TikTok and other places. And there is no difference, no difference in the sets, the personalities between, you know, a Dave Rubin show or NBC News. To today's audience, it's just a different app that's streaming. This sense of authority is waning. And this is a good thing. Of course it's going to get very confusing because no one will know who to turn to except your no agenda show because we get it at least 50% of the time right. We're as good as a coin flip. That's right, as good as a coin toss. I gotta write that one down. As good as a coin toss, they're from the future. Excellent. Some other errant vaccine news, the Russian scientist

1:19:11 who was working on a new COVID-19 vaccine plummeted to his death. Oh no! Yes. Uh-huh. Let's see. Enormous protests going on at Stanford Hospital, carried out by staff who are enraged by the decision by hospital executives to give themselves the COVID vaccine and administrators who are at home before giving it to staff. That's never a good look. Let's see. Yeah, so they're starting to make a little noise about warp speed is not fast enough, so we'll have something to blame Trump on. Warp speed, they couldn't get enough lithium crystals. Oh yes, this was dilithium. This was dilithium, you're right. So we had Deborah Birx

1:20:04 who was busted going to her family home for Thanksgiving, which she then lied and said, oh, I was winterizing the home. And now she's announced... Now she's... They're gonna sell it. Now she's announced her retirement. Yes, she said, I've worked since 1980 in the federal government. And she said that it was very disturbing to see how her family were treated because of this mishap. So she got the brunt of social media and she took it seriously. Yep, yep. And she's retiring. You know, you don't think about this much, but those of us, which includes, I would say, the majority of this audience, have been in computing

1:20:53 Online and elsewhere, I mean from the days of CompuServe, where they used to have forums on CompuServe and then AOL used to have them too. Where you would get flamed. Yeah, flame wars. You're some poor innocent little kid, you say something stupid or you got or they even go to Usenet where you'd mention something and they just give you nothing but grief. You kind of get hardened to it. Yeah. I've been to the point where you realize that it's just a few lot of people that make a lot of noise Yes, and it could be a thousand people, but there's still a few so a thousand. Yeah I bet it is a thousand. I've been called an arrogant a-hole since I was 19

1:21:31 Oh yeah, well then for good reason. Hey, blow me Dvorak, you know. That's not true, I was on television, that's why. So you get used to this kind of thing, it's just like, yeah, whatever. I mean it could be right, but it doesn't matter because it's just a bunch of noisy trolls. She is obviously unprepared for one little complaint. It was very interesting, we had drinks with the former New York banker and his wife. Tuesday night and now I Something was going we were outside of an outdoor place with a fireplace and some of the smoke was coming into my face Which didn't help but there was cedar something was going on that. I am NOT I have no protection against so I was dying I wasn't I was a little low on energy, but I did hear is nasty It's very nasty and the minute I was we have it was it started to get well it got better over time but

1:22:28 Yeah. He was gonna say? It's used to, you put, if you get some nice cedar and you put it in your closet, you don't have moths. Correct. And it smells nice. It does it smells great, but when the cedar is is oozing or whatever it does. Yes, it's not not good Toxic, but he said two things which were interesting one And and I just wasn't getting into it with him because I was just I don't want to do this But I knew he was trying to kick it off with me and one is that The people complaining and saying that you know Trump won the election. That's just Twitter It's a very very small amount of people so just so you know that Twitter amplifies things and it's really no one who thinks this and the second one is although surprising 50% were mail-in ballots Clearly there was just a lot more people voting this year And I would be that sounds like a lip Joe thing and I just wouldn't take the bait. I'm like sure that's fine Whatever

1:23:32 He was trying to get you going, he's trying to get you all jacked up. Yeah, but we now we have the conservatives from Brooklyn and they just moved to Austin. Yes, you had, you didn't give us a report. Yeah, and I got to be careful because he's a CFO of a large entertainment company. It'd be too easy to find out who he is. But they basically escaped Brooklyn after living there for 16 years because they just were, they're conservatives and they were completely in the minority of 700 people who were in their neighborhood. I think two people. Yeah, they were one. One of two. And the other person may have just made a mistake.

1:24:10 So he went to this place called the Odd Duck in Austin. And it's a nice restaurant, but the thing is, here's what was wrong. First of all, the waiter came over, he had a bald head. But you only saw really his eyes and his bald head because he had a gator. But the gator was pushed all the way down his neck and all the way up to his nose and right under his eyes. John, it looked like a crowning dickhead. I'm telling you. It was so weird to look at this guy. It's just like... Was it flesh-colored to make the effect even more...

1:24:47 That's all that was missing and he was going on about okay We're gonna use this table here and this table. It's like a serving station So we'd have to come around too close to you. So, you know, I have too much interaction So I'm gonna put here's the water you can pour the water yourself We put the plates down here and then you can take them you can serve them over here. I'm like, okay And as he walks away, I'm like man life's gonna suck to which he made some kind of sneery comment behind me Oh and then goes the tip The conservatives from Brooklyn paid. To which, subsequently, everything was served normal. No one put it on the little serving table after his whole song and dance. But that wasn't the worst. The worst part, I decided to have one of their featured cocktail drinks.

1:25:33 I like a cute little cocktail and it was some frozen margarita. So I'm like, okay, I'll have that. So I have the- You had a frozen margarita. Yes, I had a frozen margarita. It was a signature frozen margarita. But they, of course, this being a complete virtue signaling environment, they put a metal straw in it. Well, can I please tell you this is one of the worst ideas which I found out myself. Because you put the straw into the drink. And then when you put your lips onto the straw to suck, your lips will immediately be frozen stuck to the metal straw. Like licking... Well that would be good for a laugh, would they all watching you? Yes! And I tore a piece of my lip even, I couldn't get it off. It's a very dumb idea.

1:26:23 So that's the obduct. Well, a couple of things. First of all, I would never ever drink from a metal straw at a restaurant. I didn't really realize it. Just stuck it in my mouth and oh, right away. Mainly because how do you get the things clean? I mean, do they have bottle brushes that go through? I don't trust it. It should be disposable. So that's out. And the second thing is why would you drink through a margarita through a straw? It was there. I wanted to suck on something, John. I don't know. What's wrong with a frozen margarita having a sip? That's not that weird. Well, to a straw. I'm not a... I... Okay.

1:27:07 So what, did you learn anything from the conservative guys? Were they happy to be in Austin, which is a conservative, it was not a conservative town? It's a liberal enclave? Yes, yes. Well, it's not a completely liberal enclave, but we have a liberal government. Yes, the main thing they were extremely happy about is people, and they were taken aback several times, oh my god, oh my goodness, people say Merry Christmas here. I guess they got kind of moved away from that throughout the years in Brooklyn. Happy holidays, happy Kwanzaa, happy Hanukkah, Chanukah, whatever we gotta say. Interesting. You know, the main thing outside of that... People say Merry Christmas here and I'm in California, it's not like a... It must be worse in Brooklyn. New York has really gone off the rails. It must be worse there.

1:27:59 Yes, the entertainment business. I spoke specifically with him about the Warner Brothers plan to release all of their movies in a one-month period on streaming, which you can imagine now it kind of makes sense why the National Defense Authorization Act included a clause to make illegal streaming of copyrighted content a felony. You think the two are related? Yeah, they are. He says it could possibly kill Hollywood. I think it could. I went back and forth with Brunetti about it. Brunetti thinks so too. Well actually no, I take it back. Brunetti does not think it'll kill Hollywood. Well what they had to do... He thinks Hollywood's dead. He said they had to go to

1:28:46 the actors and pay him 10 million dollars extra, the big-name actors, because of the loss of income that they'll have. Piracy would be number one. Yeah, of course, that's where you make your money on these movies is on your residuals, the back end. Yeah, and the directors. So, no, it's all Chinese money anyway, so who cares? But I don't think this is a very good idea. People are now so accustomed, it's just another part of, is the NBC News guy more newsworthy than Tim Pool? Not really, it's all kind of the same. Except Tim Pool's more funny and endearing. And it has less technical effects, but to most people these days, hey, I'm getting it on my iPad. It has the same weight.

1:29:36 So movies, meh, meh. I'm used to it now. This is going to kill that industry. Well, everything is now a hallmark film. What do you mean? It's on TV. It's just a TV movie made for TV. Oh yeah, oh yes. So Wonder Woman, whatever it is, 1984 is just a TV movie. It's supposed to be very good. I'm gonna watch it. Yeah, it's coming out tomorrow as a matter of fact to see a couple things to wind up here The PCR test is going to be replaced. Oh, then we can get our numbers normalized. Yeah, they're going to get right down to it They're not messing around. Yes, it will be a CRISPR based test

1:30:24 I've been waiting for this to happen. So this mRNA vaccine, which isn't really a traditional vaccine, it's telling your DNA to do something. I keep saying this is part of genome splicing. I keep experts telling me shut up, you know what you're talking about, it doesn't change anything. But now the actual software, the CRISPR, which is used to splice genes, will now be used, that technology will be used to test for COVID-19. I'll bet you it'll be very, very accurate, but to tell me it's not a, that this mRNA vaccine is not a part of a larger genomic push is pretty hard to defend at this point.

1:31:12 CRISPR base. Run away from the term CRISPR wherever you see it. This is not good. And my favorite story after the American Medical Association had to retract their advice towards doctors regarding hydroxychloroquine, which means that now doctors can prescribe that again. What are the chances of One of the largest pharmaceutical factories that produces the precursors for hydroxychloroquine in Taiwan has burned to the ground with a big explosion. You know what? Do not mess with Big Pharma. They do not care who you are. You want to prescribe that? Watch this.

1:32:06 So I'm sure... You got the president, I mean, assuming that the election worked out to the benefit of Big Pharma, it was designed by Big Pharma to get Trump out. They refused to discuss the... Big Pharma said this. We did not talk about the release of the vaccines until after the election on purpose. Yeah. And they had the gall to do that. They had the gall to admit it. No, no, no. We're not gonna do, no, no, no. There's no discussion of the vaccine being finished and ready to go until after the election. After the election, we'll mention it. And that's just because we don't like Trump. We don't like his policies. We like Joe Biden. We loved Obama. We gave him all that money so he could run. Big Pharma, Joe Biden, Big Pharma, this is gonna be a match made in heaven. That's your investment opportunities.

1:32:53 Now burn down the competition. We do not. They're a bunch of gangsters. You know, I have seen... They are a bunch of gangsters. They are. They're gangsters. Have you seen some of the CEOs of some of these big pharma companies? Oh, total goombas. They look like gangsters. Yeah, we're gonna take care of this. Don't worry about it. The vaccine will be out when it's out. They're just horrible and gangster-like guys. I got you at the front of the list for the vaccine. I got a box. I took off the truckie for you. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. The result is that doctors are actually, and I said actually, that doctors are now oblivious. Actually. I know. Doctors are now... By the way,

1:33:37 Because I got to write it down. Nevermind just keep talking and I'll tell you what Mike I had a bitch the other day And I forgot to bring it up. Is it about me? No, okay doctors are now oblivious to many of the Treatments that seem to work Invermectin is another one of them hydroxychloroquine have been withdrawn and now it seems that it's okay. This is Dr. Merrick. He discusses what is going on now with doctors and patients. So then tell me this, and we talked about it a little bit before as well, the situation is becoming so much weird that it is the patient who is educating the doctor saying please give me evermectin and doctor is saying no not at all you cannot have evermectin.

1:34:21 I will not, what the hell is this? I'm sorry. It's the most astonishing thing. So people contact me because their doctor won't prescribe ivermectin. So what I do is I send them the data and say give this to your doctor, let him read it. And what's interesting about half of them The doctors will then prescribe ivermectin. So we're in this unusual situation that the general public are now teaching the doctors how to treat COVID. Is this not a complete national catastrophe that doctors are so uneducated that we have to rely on the patients to educate them? There you go. Well done, everybody. Good job, Pharma.

1:35:06 Good job. You know, a report came out of San Francisco that 670 people have died of drug overdose this year, which is three times as high as the amount of people who have died in San Francisco of COVID. Yeah. Overdose deaths, 621. COVID-19 deaths, 173. And that's the inflated number. Okay, crack an update before we take our break You know I want to do want to mention that I don't have them looking for a clip for it I thought I had a clip that apparently the government's going after Walmart. Oh For over prescribing. Oh yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, I just thought that was that's great They see if anything thing comes of it though. Well you know

1:36:08 With Walmart. I mean they're not over prescribing, they are taking in prescriptions that are questionable at best. Yeah, they're just writing as much as they can. Of course. No, not writing, they're doling. They're filling, yes. They're fulfilling. Well, we also had the Purdue company admit and get fined for hooking people on drugs as a common-ass drug dealer selling to the pill mills fully aware of what they're doing, making sure... I mean, it happened during COVID, so why would it be on television? Those are the advertisers. Yeah, they're drug dealers. We have drug dealers at the top and drug dealers at the bottom. And the people behind it, I would say, are the same people.

1:36:51 We need the drug business. Okay. Yeah. All right. Crackin' there we go. I did have, if you're interested, an ambulance driver in California, boots on the ground, if that's of any interest. I have a good election, three-part election breakdown from this guy Robert Barnes. Why don't I just do the crackin' update? We'll do that, but I'd like to get to these three partners. This is actually this, this, I think, puts it together better than we've done so far by any one person. Good. You mean the path forward?

1:37:31 Because that would bar the path. Yeah, he breaks it down as best it can be broken down good I am not a subscriber to this but I have to say that he has the best. Okay breakdown I've had and I hate and it it's gonna be perfect. This schedule is perfect I'll do the quick update It's a little a little more than quick But then I'll do the update then you do Barnes and then we'll be up to speed because that's exactly what we need. I We start off by the backpedaling. People are dumping the president. They're running away as fast as they can. They just can't stand it anymore. They're afraid. Whatever the deal is, including Newsmax and Fox, who are under such pressure.

1:38:18 that I think there's some huge liability lawsuit that many outlets have been threatened with because this is what happened in this past week. Let's start with Newsmax, and this is all about the Dominion voting systems we've heard and seen reports, there's multiple reports of how these things were bogative. Here's Newsmax. Since election day, various guests, attorneys and elected officials have appeared on Newsmax and offered opinions and claims about Smartmatic and Dominion Systems, both companies that offer voting software in the US. And Newsmax would like to clarify its news coverage and note that it has not reported as true certain claims made about these companies. OK, there are several facts our viewers and readers should be aware of.

1:39:10 Newsmax has found no evidence that either Dominion or Smartmatic owns the other or has any business association with each other. We have no evidence that Dominion uses Smartmatic software or vice versa. No evidence has been offered that Dominion or Smartmatic use software or reprogram software that manipulated votes in the 2020 election. Smartmatic has stated that its software was only used in the 2020 election in Los Angeles was not used in any battleground state contested by the Trump campaign. Newsmax has no evidence to the contrary. Dominion has stated the company has no ownership relationship with the Pelosi family, the Feinstein family, the Clinton family, Hugo Chavez or the government of Venezuela. Wow, I can just see this. I can see some.

1:40:01 legal. A dozen lawyers came in with that to read? Oh no, no, no more than a dozen. The money honey over on Fox who has been all of Fox Business who has been all over this story all over it for weeks. Now she won't stoop as low to do what that guy just did instead they did this. Welcome back in our week's long look into election integrity we have heard concerns about both voting machines and voting software, specifically a software company called Smartmatic. This week we reached out to Eddie Perez for insight. He is the global director of tech development at the Open Source Election Technology Institute. His team develops open source software for elections. We asked him what he knew about Smartmatic and the claims some have made about that company. So they have to just whatever the legal paperwork that came in that scared the

1:40:52 Jesus out of Newsmax did the same for Fox, but they solved it in a different way, which I thought was very funny. Have you seen any evidence that Smartmatic software was used to flip votes anywhere in the US in this election? I have not seen any evidence that Smartmatic software was used to delete, change, alter anything related to vote tabulation. Smartmatic says its software was never used outside of LA County in 2020. Do you know whether or not that's true? That is my understanding. I am not aware of that. This is just some dude, some random dude who works on the election software and they're going through the whole legal disclaimer part that Newsmax just did except they're saying oh here's our report and when there's no evidence see we did a report. I'm having any other

1:41:38 direct customer relationship. Sad for the money, honey. Sad for humanity, really. With election officials in the United States. What about Smartmatic and Dominion? Do you know if they're related? Whether one owns the other? Whether Dominion uses Smartmatic software? Both. How does the technology guy know all that? Dominion and Smartmatic have individually and respectively put out very clear statements from their

1:42:24 corporate headquarters, each of them indicating they are independent companies, they are not related to each other. Have you seen any evidence of a connection between George Soros and Smartmatic? I'm not aware of... No! This is great! Ask the tech guy, hey man, has Soros been logging in? They are independent companies, they are not related to each other. Have you seen any evidence of a connection between George Soros and Smartmatic? I'm not aware of any direct connection between George Soros and Smartmatic. It is my understanding that an executive at Smartmatic has some sort of relationship with one of Soros's foundations. That's the extent of my knowledge. Have you seen any evidence of Smartmatic sending U.S. votes to be tabulated in foreign countries? No, I'm not aware of any evidence that Smartmatic is sending U.S. votes to be tabulated in foreign countries. As others have pointed out,

1:43:16 Irrespective of which voting technology vendor we're talking about, in the United States, the ballots that are cast in the United States are tabulated in the United States. Are you aware of any instances in which Smartmatic's technology... This guy didn't even do the interview. I'm telling you, this guy is in the booth doing these questions after in the edit. Do you have any proof that Smartmatic is responsible for this? In the United States, the ballots that are cast in the United States are tabulated in the United States. Are you aware of any instances in which Smartmatic's technology was banned in the U.S. in 2020 due to security weaknesses or wrongdoing? That's not a legal question at all. I am not. I'm not aware of any instances where Smartmatic's

1:44:03 Technology was banned in the US. Again, it is my understanding that outside of one customer in Los Angeles County, Smartmatic has no presence in the voting technology marketplace in the United States. So that is where we stand right now. We will keep investigating. Okay, those two combined clips you get a combined clip of the day. Oh, okay, that's a nice one. Very, very interesting. I didn't catch any of that in that was a dynamite. But it's atrocious. It's atrocious. Something is up. Well, somebody's suing somebody. It's probably a major lawsuit because well here's misinformation being pushed out there and it got onto the mainstream and then next thing you know,

1:44:49 They targeted Fox and Newsmax and probably a few other people. Here's what I'm thinking though. They really wouldn't want a lawsuit because that would trigger discovery and all kinds of stuff could pop up in discovery. So why a good news organization wouldn't take that on? I mean, this is clearly the legal department said, holy crap, we've got to do something right now. You got to disclaim this. You can do it in this way. You know, just get someone to say I don't, to my knowledge. You know, it's completely meaningless, but it's some someone got freaked out about it. Someone's how about this? Maybe some advertisers said, OK, you got to do something. I don't know. It had to be from that angle to advertise because

1:45:36 Because you're right. If you're a news organization with deep pockets, Newsmax, I will say, probably just needs to read the sheet. But Fox has deep pockets. There's a major news organization. They would love to get into discovery. That's my point. With all these people so they can just go through these papers and develop stories so they wouldn't really be sued. So this had to be an advertiser. Unless. Fox also has things they don't want to come up in discovery That could be too. That's also possible. But let's face reality. We've done this enough. Advertising. It's advertising. Okay, so now we're gonna get into Kraken. It won't take that long and I believe your clips which come after that explain the path. There is a path. The path depends on Pence, which is on January 6th. And as a part of the strategy it seems, or what is left,

1:46:38 is... My clips do not say that it depends on pants. I'll tell you what I've learned and then we'll see how it fits in. It would depend on, well first it would depend on a number of votes taking place. You need someone from the House, you need someone from the Senate to contest a vote, then you go into two hours, then you go into votes. Ultimately Pence could do quite a lot and the question is what will Pence do on January 6th? To get ready for it we have the wild protest!

1:47:14 The wild protest is scheduled on January 6th in DC and this is intended to show lawmakers around the country what they'll be up against if they don't quote-unquote do the right thing. In fact, the Friends of Fair and Honest Elections DC meetup is listed on noagendameetups.com Tuesday January 5th at 8 p.m. in the evening at the JW Marriott. on Pennsylvania Avenue. So there's getting on a show protest. It's an actual protest. No agenda protest.com. It's on the list for later.

1:47:49 So the idea to get a million people, show the force, show magnation, and that the right things have to be done, and then there's a lot of different ways of explaining what could be done with the electors, who's counted, what's legitimate. Hopefully we have something to address that. But just to show you how down to the wire this is, I believe, is the big Oval Office meeting that was talked about. uh... and this is the way cnn categorize some of that was very clear that as president trump continues to refuse to accept that he lost his presidential election to president elect joe biden the president is also still consulting aids and allies for more ways that he could possibly move to continue to contest this election or at least

1:48:36 undermine the legitimacy of Joe Biden's election as the 46th president of the United States. We're told that on Friday, the president met with Michael Flynn, the former national security adviser who was pardoned by the president despite having pled guilty to counts of lying to the FBI and his attorney, Sidney Powell, who has been trafficking these deranged conspiracy theories about the 2020 election that have been roundly and thoroughly debunked. The president, nonetheless, during this meeting apparently was talking about potentially naming Sidney Powell as a special counsel within the government to investigate voter fraud in the 2020 election, despite a total lack of evidence of any widespread voter fraud in this election. And he also discussed apparently this idea that Michael Flynn has brought up recently about using martial law to rerun the 2020 presidential election. I want you to listen to this. Okay, so there were three people, actually four,

1:49:34 the Oval Office from what I understand and the reason I like these clips is because one of the four was Patrick Byrne, the former Overstock CEO who according to his his own account has spent over a million dollars on doing all of the forensics everywhere possible on the Dominion voting machines. Sidney Powell in Not what CNN reported they're the president's lawyer. She's not the president's lawyer officially So that's just incorrect and Patrick Byrne went all out on as many Streaming shows podcasts anywhere he could get heard probably on Newsmax as well Although I think he's even straight away from that saying a couple of things one He said in he was there for he says he was there for four and a half hours. He did a

1:50:21 Should tweet a video of him walking into the into the White House on Friday night So I believe that he was there is no reason to bullcrap But he says in four and a half hours. There was not a single talk about any military move any Martial law or anything like that and it seems like it's really down to just a few people because the president's advisory team his lawyers They want him to give up and get out the president Trump has been buried and led I was in the room when President Trump so at one point patch up alone and one of his hissy fits, yelled at the president, stood up and was yelling at the president. I almost decked this guy. He's a rude little son of a bitch. And Flynn stood up. I mean, Flynn is a real gentleman, as gentlemanly as it gets. And he even took to his feet at one point at three lawyers who were screaming. And I went and ended up standing shoulder to shoulder with Flynn and facing off with these guys. There was almost a fistfight. Trump said, President Trump said later, there's probably not been a meeting like this in 200 years in the Oval Office.

1:51:24 And he went on to explain exactly why these guys are all acting this way. You know why they're doing it? Because the signal has gone out. If you're good boys and you get the president out on January 20th, there's a million and a half dollars. In fact, President Trump said to one of the people there, it was one of the three lawyers. It was his last night and he was leaving that night. It was just, he stayed to midnight with us, but he left by President Trump said, you know why this guy's leaving us. He just got an offer for 10 times the salary from, another law firm in DC. What's happened is all these people know that if they get the president out on January 20, there's jobs waiting for them at law firms and lobbyists for a million dollars and up jobs. But if they don't get him out, and if they do, they're going to be invited to the right socialite parties in New York.

1:52:12 Hey, I've been to those socialite parties, you aren't missing anything. It's slumming as far as I'm concerned. Hang out with a better class of people than going to hanging around that crew in New York. So they're being tempted with offers like that and they're being told, I'm told by people involved, they're being told if you don't get him out on January 20th all of that goes away. So these people are privately being offered massive jobs if they just get President Trump out. Yeah, that's kind of the way it works. These days if you can get into government, you are golden when you come out. That's the revolving door. Everybody loves it. This was this third and final clip. I think this is the most important one. We know that John Durham with his thousands of sealed indictments is a special counsel, special investigator, so it would be much, and that'll be for the Russian collusion hoax. We'll see. This guy may never surface.

1:53:08 But at least he shouldn't or can't. Is that your ashtray that dropped? Something fell over. Sorry. Where was I? Yes. You're talking about Durham being a douchebag and having all these indictments, but he's a special something or other. He's now a special investigator, special counsel to the president. So he will carry over. And this clip from Patrick Byrne leads me to believe that especially in light of all the news mainstream M5M news reports saying that this will be crazy, there's no way, it's rumored, whatever. I think he did appoint Sidney Powell as special counsel to the president or White House for the election. Here's Patrick Byrne recounting his experience. I saw President Trump

1:54:08 It's simple only the general counsel said something like if you really you don't even need me. You can just do this verbally. If you really want to point Sydney special counsel, you can just say it and and and. And after 15 more minutes of arguing President Trump said, you know what? You said I don't need a pencil and paper if you want to do this, but if you do this and that, and 20 minutes later Trump said, you know what? I've made my decision. Sidney Powell, you were appointed White House special counsel. And somebody objected, well, she doesn't need it. She needs a clearance and that's going to take X money this and that. And President Trump said, you know what? I have the ability to give a clearance with my word. I hereby give you a TSSCI clearance. This is done. This decision is done. We're going. We'll see if it holds water. We'll see if it's real.

1:55:01 Because we do need to find out and eventually these things come out two three years down the road And this will be interesting if Pence truly can affect what happens He's got to be thinking to himself self. Do I stand next to the president and do everything I can to change this. What have I got to lose? Does he have something to lose? Yes, if it doesn't work then he'll be out of politics forever. He'll be back to doing the morning radio show. Or, as I've read in Alternet, he intends to leave right after he certifies Trump's loss and he'll leave the country.

1:55:46 I love alternate, they're right out there nailing it. He is scheduled to be in the Middle East so it's very possible. That's because alternate, this is where the Lib Joe's get their material. That's why I read it. And there's one other one, Progress Now. And they have been convinced that Pence is going to be indicted and jailed. He's leaving the country to make sure whatever happens. Yeah, he has to leave the country. Otherwise, he's going to be indicted and jailed. He sounds like asking it goes like this. He's going to be indicted and jailed for what? Oh, yeah. Well, he's a criminal. OK.

1:56:29 He's a criminal and he's done bad things. And what those criminal acts are we don't know yet. It's beyond them. Pence sure sounded positive at the Turning Point USA rally. I don't think I have to tell you this, for all we've done, for all we have yet to do, stay in the fight! Stay in the fight in our election. Stay in the fight in Georgia's election. And stay in the fight every day that follows. And as our election contest continues, I'll make you a promise. We're going to keep fighting until every legal vote is counted.

1:57:25 We're gonna keep fighting until every illegal vote is thrown out And people are pretty pumped up pretty pumped up. So this the wild middle name is George Custer the the January 5th and January 6th Maga nation descends on Washington DC. This should make for some excellent coverage on television It won't cover it at all. Of course not. You won't see a single thing. Of course not. Now I'd love to hear about your clips about the legal... This is the way forward. I thought this was a pretty good rundown, breakdown I have it. This is Robert Barnes. I have to say, where did something like this... Well actually play the first clip and then I'll tell you where it ran. But he starts off

1:58:19 It does take a long series of three clips, five minutes. it pretty much breaks it down. I'm not buying it. I don't think anything's gonna happen on January. I think it's gonna be, there'll be a few guys that'll stand up, be stand-up guys and do something. And I even admit this is possible, but this is the way it would go if it would go, if anything's gonna happen at all. And this is the end of it after this. Mayor Chris, I'm gonna switch to Robert Barnes, who is joining me now. from his humble abode where lots of legal thought and analysis goes down and so he joins me now to discuss the... Brother, could you have left that part off? I only left it in there because he mentioned his name and I needed it for the clip because I produced it after I recorded it.

1:59:13 Robert, everybody seems focused on January 6th right now, including the President of the United States. Your take on where we're at right now, and how confident are you that January 6th is the day to be watching? Now, are you watching Owen's War Room every day, or did someone send you this? I caught it myself. Sure, okay Mr. InfoWars. Nobody sent it to me but I will say this, some people may have suggested it and I normally, you know where I got it from? I got it from that fake YouTube, that real YouTube, whatever it's called.

1:59:54 There's some alternative YouTube. Rumble, rumble, rumble. No, no, no, no, no. No, it's called something real tube you or something like that. Well, you found it. I'm good. I'm glad. And they have, well, thank you for nothing. Now, the point is, is that I was on there looking for obscurities because I was, all the stuff I had was all network. I'm thinking I got to have something a little off the wall. Oh, this is your brighty arm. It wasn't that. But it was that. I'm saying I got to find something a little different here. And so I found this. I said, this is pretty interesting. It was from Info Wars. But OK. All right. Let's continue. You busted me for that. Thanks for nothing. I was going to be a surprise.

2:00:36 Like I couldn't hear Owen's voice? Well, I don't know. I mean, I don't know that you listen to this all the time, apparently. It definitely is. I mean, the ultimately the constitutional remedy for a presidential election that goes AWOL was always intended to be Congress, more so than the courts, more so than the state legislatures. That's why the Congress decides whether to certify electors If they do not certify 270 or more electors for any one candidate, then under the 12th Amendment, it goes to the House to vote by state delegation. So the president's legal constitutional remedy is for Congress to take up the issue on January 6th. And it could take days because there could be objections to multiple states. There's anticipation of at least seven states being objected to. They're supposed to spend two hours a piece each chamber on their own accord debating it. They should allow for argument and evidence to be presented in that time frame.

2:01:36 And so consequently, you could have 14 hours or more of debate time. So if we can spend two weeks on a bogus impeachment, we can spend at least a few days on a legitimate election contest. And I think that's the president's position and it's a sound one to have. And then what he needs and what he wants is for there to be a mass audience outside so the House members and senators can witness the power of the support that Trump has for this election contest to occur. And if the evidence and arguments are properly heard out, then there's an excellent opportunity for Trump to at least succeed in the Senate, and then there's open question in the House. Right. Okay. That makes sense. That's kind of what I've learned. So hopefully he has more in-depth on this, how those pieces work. Well, here we go to part two. This is parallel track for Trump.

2:02:27 Because if he doesn't prevail, he wants it to be the case that Pelosi and Biden helped steal it from Biden. And that's the other utility of going through this process. Not only is it the constitutional process, not only should he prevail if they actually apply the facts and the law and the Constitution, because this election was not done in a constitutionally consistent manner in a sufficient number of states to give Joe Biden any form of electoral college majority. But the other advantage is if for whatever reason it doesn't work, If it doesn't work because Pelosi is the obstacle in the House with Democrats having a slight edge, then it gives Trump a key talking point for the next four years. It gives conservatives and Republicans a key talking point for the upcoming midterms. And Trump can rebuild and expand his populist movement going forward. So Trump's always, since art of the deal, his mantra has been hope for the best, plan for the worst. And the January 6th plan is both.

2:03:23 It's both the best can happen, should happen, but in case it doesn't, the backup plan, it works for the backup plan too. So it works for both. So it's a intelligent path for the president to be taking. It's the constitutional path. It's the legal path. And it's the only path he's been afforded effectively at this point because the state governors refuse to take action. The state secretaries of state refuse to take action. The state courts in those systems refuse to take action. The state legislatures in those states could not convene. And then the federal courts have also refused to take action. And so, as the president said yesterday, his chief of staff Mark Meadows laid out the protocols to go forward on January 6th because it's the only remedy available. And he just has to overcome Mitch McConnell trying to instruct everybody in the Senate

2:04:12 To not vote on it, but I think that ship has sailed senator Purdue out of Georgia said if he wins re-election He's gonna challenge it senator Tuberville is talking about challenging Senator Paul is talking about challenging and senator Hawley is talking about challenging and senator Cruz is now talking about challenging it These are good clips very interesting First I wonder what it would be like if if you're sitting in a In Congress and you've got a million people outside and you can hear them. I wonder if that does play into the psyche I wonder if that's sure it must it must it must it must

2:04:51 They got to be loud. Yeah, I have no doubt that it's going to be very loud. But even then, if you listen to this two-pronged strategy, so to be able to use this for the midterm, oh man, I'd hate to be a legislator in any of these states. It's going to get really difficult for them. There's gonna be all kinds of stones overturned for these people. This is good. At the local level, I'm very happy this is going to take place one way or the other. All right? Let's let him wrap. All right. So in any... The other thing that's useful about this, however it turns out, is it's gonna put everybody on notice at who's a Trump loyalist and who isn't. Make them have a vote. So they know who in the House really is supporting the president and who is not. Have you seen Chris Christie with his Goombas?

2:05:43 This guy's making a run. Oh yeah, Chris Christie's out telling everybody, oh yeah he's making the rounds. Trump's got to get out and he's got goon by goons with him. He's going to make a run in 2024. Who in the Senate is really supporting the president and who's not? And let's be clear, it's not just supporting the president, it's supporting reality. Trump won this thing in a landslide, everybody knows it. So anybody who wants to vote against it, whether it's a Democrat or a Republican, they're just voting against reality. Yeah, exactly. And they're voting against the constitutional election and they're voting against the constitutional process for resolving a contested election. So in all of this, what it does is it puts on notice who's really so deeply tied to the swamp that they're unwilling to even exercise their constitutional obligation to resolve a contested election where a constitutional election

2:06:34 clearly elects the president. It's only an unconstitutional election that elects Joe Biden. And so let's see if all some of these would-be presidents like Senator Hawley and others will step up to the plate or not. And every senator and congressman who does not step up to the plate for a constitutional election and object to the electors from these states that did not conduct an unconstitutional, that did not conduct a constitutional election, Then they should be primary. They should be focused on to be challenged in 2022 and 2024 So the it's a great opportunity to get a clear and clean discernment and who is with the country Who is with the Constitution and who ain't I think that's that'll be the result that what he just said at the end there Who is who was for it and who's with the country and the Constitution who isn't and that'll be a nice list to have

2:07:26 Well, we'll find out and after the 6th, then we'll be done with this, hopefully. I don't, I mean, I don't see what else there could be going on. But I, again, I do not underestimate the American public and this wild protest could have influence. I don't know. Tears will come somewhere. Somewhere tears are going to come. Don't worry about it, the vaccine will be out when it's out. To understand how elections work, no matter what happens. Because we're just going to go into dark times my friends. Dark times with Joe. We're going to the darkest days ahead of us. Hey, Merry Christmas everybody and with that I'd like to thank you for your courage.

You can find them at newpodcastapps.com. And you'll see right now, if you look at it, you'll see the artwork for episode 1305. We titled that one, The Palin Pardon, and this was Fletcher. Fletcher scored with this basic

2:10:09 It was Santa Claus with a big red circle and stripe going over his face. What were the problems? You had things to talk about for this artwork. I know. The ones I liked... We had issues. I didn't like much, personally. No, you didn't like anything. Not really. You're obviously the Scrooge. Was there nothing I liked? No, there was absolutely nothing. You can't identify anything you liked. I don't think so. You were saying bah humbug and you were spitting a lot. I don't know what was going on with you. Oh no, the one I liked, I liked the COVID enforcement task force with the angry Santa. I liked that one, which you didn't. I wasn't, I was too tired. I wasn't going to fight you. We decided no syringes, of course.

2:11:02 Lots of Christmasy goat stuff. You're not dead. By the way, what is going on with the TV networks that are showing these syringes being stabbed into people? I mean, I had to turn away from it. I can't watch them sticking people with a needle. This is part of the agenda. They did surveys and the best way to roll it out is to talk about getting the vaccine in your arm. And part of that... Yeah, but why are they making me cringe? It's the new normal, John. Get used to it. It's cringy. It's the new normal. It's to get you used to it. It's in your arm. It plunge. Look. They're showing this over and over again to put you at ease. You will feel less cringy once this is all over and you submit. Yeah, sure. Well, there's the ones I really like, the ones you didn't like at all. Well, you like the ornament that said, uh, it was a dumb ornament. I didn't mind the ornament, but that wasn't what I picked.

2:12:02 That was a Darryl piece of art. It was these ones, it was the ones from Mountain J. She took old antique cards, including a funny one where Santa's looking in on some little girl like a pervert. I thought that was funny. You're not dead, you're not dead ornament. That's what you wanted. No, I didn't. I wanted these two from Mountain J that said 1305 on them and you said they were too busy. Oh, they're too busy. They're too busy. I think all of these classic Christmas looking cards are too busy. At small scale as they're displayed on album art, they don't read well. I don't think so. That's my... I didn't think this one read particularly well either, but at least it was an anti-Santa message and who doesn't love that?

2:12:52 So, uh, you were just not in the mood. That's the way I see it. And by the end, you're right about one thing. Stop showing syringes. John can't handle it. We had our classic butt picture from comic strip blogger. Always another butt crack. I don't know what he's getting at, what he's trolling for, but... No, so he can make a clip using podcasting 2.0 protocols, I might add, and then tweet that about him being on the show. Yeah, we're playing into his hand. Another one I liked that you hated. I don't hate anything. Was greetings from Kovexit. Yeah, I didn't like that. You're right. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood. You're right. I just nothing struck me. It's personal. Art is a personal choice. Nothing worked for me, but I was happy to jump on board with what we chose. Which was Fletcher. Now there was one

2:13:54 from Sir Effigy that says episode 1224 artwork which is on the page. Oh really? Which is Santa getting the injection. Really? It would have been funny if it was... I used that for the newsletter and I would still promote it for today's show. By the way, the newsletter, fantastic. I love all the Santa Claus cigarette ads. That is fantastic. It wasn't my original intention. I was gonna do some Santa Claus ads over the years and I started seeing all these cigarette ads and I said let's make this thematic there's more than enough cigarette so this is those Santa Claus can't get enough enough smokes he'll smoke anything it's interesting how Santa has been a used and abused in the past for for big programs big advertising programs and I think you're right I think the

2:14:48 Maybe we should pay closer attention to Santa and vaccines. Do we have a lot of Santa being vaccinated? They should do it. Because that's what Fauci signaled it, right? Fauci signaled it. That he went and checked with Santa. Now please don't do this. We're not gonna pick art of Santa being getting a vaccine in the arm. It makes John uncomfortable. I use it on the newsletter. Still makes you uncomfortable. You don't like the plunging in the arm. Well, that particular one I made an exception for because it was so well done. Well, we appreciate the work that all of our artists do and what we're really doing here is critiquing you because that's why you send it in. You want to win? If you don't win, you'd like to know why not. Well, it's because I was tired and John has crazy ideas. And then all of a sudden, I'm out of control. It shows up. That's how it works.

2:15:47 We look forward to all of the talent and time that producers put into the production of the show. Every single person who is involved in it is a producer. And we'd like to thank our, it's a little bit later than usual. It's going to be a long show today. I can, it's also a, it's a Christmas show. So that's fine if we go a little bit overboard. We've got a lot of people who are very thankful for being a part of this grand experiment we've been running for 14 years and we're going to thank our executive producers and associate executive producers for episode 1306 and say in advance these are titles that you can really use anywhere they are official and thank you for your courage because we've got quite a list to get through today.

2:16:34 Starting with Sir Anonymous of Dogpatch and Lower Slobovia. There he is, his monthly. And here he comes, finishing the year off with 2222. Holy moly. Dot zero zero. Wow. And again, code we don't understand. It's always a different amount, so we have to maybe assume there's some coding going on here. Here's his and he always writes a very nice note. He does. Informative note. This one's got a little bit of code in it so we don't know what he's talking about in a few spots. Okay. The year of the dame slash lady drive is ending and the new dame slash lady count is dwindling as reminders and income waned under COVID.

2:17:21 Producers, consider making the Year of the Dame Lady Drive a year with a baker's dozen number of months to permit new year title gifts from stimulus checks and to make 2020 the longest year on record. With Chameleon Harris serving as lady-in-waiting, expect her voice will support ESG and ESG limitations on trillions of dollars in investment funds only apply to US, European and developed Asian countries and companies. Many South American, Asian, ex- excluding Japan and Korea or examples Japan and Korea, South Asian, African and Middle Eastern countries and companies are excluded from ESG standards. What is this ESG? What does it stand for? I have no idea. Look up in an acronym finder, see if ESG means anything. Yeah, I'm looking for it now.

2:18:20 ESG standards is still qualified for investing. These non-compliers often receive international subsidies to... Oh brother! Of course, environmental, social and governance. It's part of the sustainability goals for 2030 of the United Nations. Right, well you have to have... when you put a board member on they have to be... Black or gay or dead. or a plant or CO2. It could be a plant, it could be a tree, a bag of climate change, redwood. Could be anything, please just put something on there with an ESG stamp. African and Middle Eastern countries and companies are excluded from ESG standards and still qualify for investing. These non-compliance often receive international subsidies to fund compliance and their leaders abscond with the funds. Meanwhile development... This is like a shaggy dog story. I like this.

2:19:13 Meanwhile, developed companies put on debt and suffer competitively in their effort to comply. So what he's saying here is that this is a scam to screw Western companies. E-Environmental is certainly running well and the financial cost of obedience has already moved heavy manufacturing to China where E-Policies are limited. Meanwhile, US and European taxpayers agree to pay for eventual cleanup dash the Paris Accord being a super-duper colossal super fund funded by those participants to clean up China and India someday. If someone ever says what is the Paris Accord you can just say oh it's a super-duper colossal super fund. Yeah. Meant to screw us. To clean up China and India because they won't do it. To clean up India and China someday. Yeah.

2:20:11 S&G again, US and European companies will find weapons manufacturers having reduced market access. Non-union US or low worker wage firms will be forced to increase wages and prices, making them less competitive. Board leadership will become deluded as membership expands and internal company management concentrates its power, a common issue with expanding boards. Meanwhile, the countries that are not required to comply continue to grow with slave labor and corrupt leadership and toxic byproducts. Professionally, US administration changes lead to higher activity and profits. This will be my ninth administration change and so far this is better than the shift from Bush 2 to Obama, but not quite the Obama to Trump shift. I hope you and others benefit as well. Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all. No jingles, no comma.

2:21:10 Sir dog patch of lower Slobovia, it's your honor giving us a lesson in economics Yeah It's just another tip Lifted of the veil as to who is truly seronymous of dog patch and lower Slobovia We cannot thank you enough for your unwavering support That you've brought us throughout. How long has he been supporting us now? Several years, I think. Number of years. Number of years. Always in the same format, although sometimes emailed from different places or mailed. Over five years. Yeah. Well, Happy Hanukkah or Chanukah, as we're supposed to say, Smokey Robinson. Are we supposed to say Chanukah now? Oh, you didn't see the Smokey Robinson bit?

2:21:57 Oh, this hilarious. No, I don't know anything about Chinooka. Are you familiar with... Sounds like a fish. Are you familiar with Cameo? The app Cameo? So Cameo, they approached me, they actually courted me for a while trying to get me to sign up to this god-awful service. So Snoop Dogg is one of the main ones. You get on this app and you can pay a celebrity to do a custom video greeting for you. Oh yes, I've seen. This is old. It's been around for quite a while, yes. I know this. But so Smokey Robinson did a cameo and he was asked to wish Happy Hanukkah to whoever was the recipient of this video and he kept saying Chinookah.

2:22:41 We need a clip. Oh my goodness. I didn't even clip this thinking this this is now two weeks old It was it was hilariously viral for a moment there. Well, you should still clip it. All right. Anyway, but thank you very much Astronomists of dog patch and lower slow boby. We really appreciate that Cameron Dodd is next on the list from Pearland, Texas and he gave us $1,306, which is the show. That is the show title, the show number right there. So he's a club member. Club member. ITM, a colleague, told me that the pandemic was just going to speed up things that were already progressing. It was going to be a catalyst for all things good and bad. Good and bad.

2:23:24 I can see that it happening on friends marriages that have ended in divorce during all of this and again in new relationships starting between longtime friends and I can think of that you guys are producing the best content that you have since I've been a listener which is where you were headed at the end of 2019. Thank you for doing the work that we so desperately needed in this country. It is much appreciated. No jingles, no karma. Thank you very much. Thank you. We appreciate the note and certainly appreciate the club membership. Now we have a person, it's just a gardener. I'm not going to say his last name because he might want to be anonymous, but I can't find a note from him.

2:24:02 and he's in Kapa'a, Hawaii, and he gave us $1,000 and I couldn't find anything, a donation or anything, note, or anything by his name anyway. So send us another note, Gardner, and we will follow up. Thank you. Tony Cabrera, 86183. and closes this year's final contribution from the No Agenda shop. Made possible by listeners who stopped by to pick up some of the formula propagating merch featuring art by No Agenda artists who also just got their share of the profits as well. 2020 should have been an amygdala-destroying year if it were not for your bi-weekly dose of mainstream media deprogramming. Less talkie, more karma.

2:24:48 a mani-bitcoin and it's true por favor. And thank you very much for being part of the No Agenda value for value concept. Just to remind you, anytime artwork is used from noagendaartgenerator.com on a t-shirt, a mug, a hat, etc., a split is made between the artist, the show, and the shop itself. We have no idea how these guys do this. There's no agreements. It's just friendly and it shows up and we're super happy with it. And we appreciate you being with us throughout this Rona period as well. No Agenda Shop. Tony Cabrera, thank you for your courage. They're saying that all hell is gonna break loose and you're gonna need a Bitcoin. That's true. You've got karma. So the anonymous lesbian picked up a pink baseball cap from this shop. Oh, from the No Agenda Shop? Yeah.

2:25:43 Yeah, it said no agenda or something. It had some saying or something on it. She was wearing it around Manhattan thinking it'd be kind of funny. And so I went, I said, it's a good looking woman's hat. It's pink. And so I couldn't find it on the site. And so I sent it back, I said, back there, he said, yeah, you gotta really dig. There are some things they've got that, I will give the site a little criticism here. Constructive. If you got hot sellers or something like that pink hat, that should be in the front, the front of the store. And you shouldn't have to dig around for it. Was it a hot seller? I don't know if it was. It would be. It's just a dynamite looking thing. And anything to be anonymous lesbian is one of those people with taste. Oh, taste. One of those people. Yeah, there are out there. Not too many.

2:26:39 I was just like the I couldn't find the hat. I'm so happy that we have the scanner now so I can see the notes. I really appreciate that. It's nice to see him. So the first time I'm seeing the United Federation of Planet Starfleet Command logo on the letterhead for our next donation. Yes, this is Sir Rodonald of the Fire Bottles County of Eastern Washington, Spokane Valley 777.77. SACA 7's! 7777, he says, I began my seventh year of listening to NOAA Gender with a sack of sevens. I knew it was time to donate when again, when my name came up on episode 1302, when Adam wondered if I might be affiliated with the Galactic Federation.

2:27:25 No, my place is with the United Federation of Planets, as John noted. Oh, good. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cause a space ruckus. You insulted him. Several points with respect to COVID. One, while COVID may now arguably be the single biggest cause of death, most deaths are caused by other things. Yeah, we noticed this. No kidding. Have you noticed that the news reports on COVID deaths initially often stated the age of the victim, but now it is seldom mentioned? No, of course we can't have that. We can't have you figuring out statistics for yourself. My question to COVID fear mongers, how many of these supposedly died of COVID would have been alive today if there was no virus? Probably less than half. The empty chair guilt trip narrative is mostly false.

2:28:21 I love the empty, oh there's gonna be an empty chair, there's always an empty chair unless you don't have enough chairs. Don't you think? And why, and if grandma dies do you actually leave an empty chair open at the table? With a meal in front of it? Yeah yeah yeah. For grandma? With a place setting? Possible. Come next Thanksgiving and Christmas there will be empty chairs, but most of these empty chairs will be due to diseases other than COVID. Also, most empty chairs caused by COVID all will be because of the virus being contracted somewhere besides the family get-together. Family members will hear being cheated out of

2:29:08 out of a final gathering with their now departed relatives because of the government-induced fear funded by taxpayers of course and promoted by the media hello yeah yay sir donald the fire bottles count of eastern washington spokane valley okay thank you very much sir no karma thank you very much Sir Mike of Macquakota Macquoketa Sir Mike of Macquoketa, knight of all tradition, sent a note in.

I would like him knighted a sir Matt of Mac cool queda Knight of the Blessed Virgin Mary. I don't know if he's on the list or not. This is a note that came in through email I didn't get this email, so I'm very confused about this. I didn't get an email, I didn't get an attachment, and I certainly don't see Mike on the list. Okay, put him on the list. Okay, so it's Mike. Sir Mike of Makwoketa, or Keta, I can't, I don't know.

Okay, you got it It's a read wait We can do it with some with some jingle bells because he made a little poem for us twice the night before Christmas when all through the house

2:31:32 Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there. The producers were nestled all snug on their beds, while visions of deconstruction danced in their heads, and Adam and his kerchief, and I and my cap, had just settled down for a long winter's nap. When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow Gave the luster of midday to something below, When what to my wondering eyes should appear But a deranged moose asking to be knighted Sir Spike Fork, the wandering knight. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

2:32:18 I believe he is performed exactly as he instructed. And I believe he's on the list. Yes, he is on the list. Brian Martin in Parkland, Florida 350. I.T.N., one of my neighbors is a proctologist and I marvel at the idea of his chosen profession is to gander at assholes to diagnose irregularities and illness. Nice. It dawned on me that you also look at assholes to diagnose irregularities and illness. The mainstream media it's called. Pretty much. You are a media proctologist. It's a perspective that makes your study of Amy Goodman and Yamiche

2:33:07 Nothing short of heroic. For this Christmas season, my proctologist neighbor got sugar cookies. You get this donation. Which brings me to knighthood! Please knight me Sir B of the New Republic of Florexas, since Florida and Texas will soon succeed. Succeed, not succeed. Succeed. I would, I want to get out in front of this thing and lay my claim.

Please add me to the list for coded 33 day of 1221.

2:33:51 Which is 12, 21, 3, 3. 21, 3, 3, yeah, nice. To the Christmas listeners, you should check if he's on the birthday list. Yeah, I think he is. To the Christmas listeners, Merry Christmas and to the entire No Agenda family, I wish you all peace, health and happiness. No jingles, no karma, we appreciate that. Brian Martin of Parkland, Florida, and he's got his accounting below for his knighthood. Yep. And he's, uh, yep, he's there. Ready to go. Okay, good. Then we move to Brittany Truesnick. Truesnick.

The last newsletter with the comparison of physicians versus administrators. Right. I don't know if you've watched any Studio Ghibli, but this group reminds me of the I can't read that either. I don't know. I think I can read this. I don't know if you've watched any Studio 6. I think that's what it is. Oh, this 6. But this growth, growth reminds me of the scene where no fair grows and grows and grows in spirited away. Okay. Anyhow, this donation is for my husband who has requested to remain anonymous. He has previously used the alias Babaluchi, his childhood nickname,

2:37:17 childhood nickname which means snail in Italian. This donation may bring him to knighthood but I don't know how to check. It's been years since he donated and he's been busy taking care of his family. If you're able like to wish him a happy birthday on your show with his alias Babaluchi. He turns 43 on December 27. Thank you for all you do. Merry Christmas to you and your family. And yes, I checked with my husband. It does indeed bring him tonight, which he says, and there's his email. So let me just check and see if he's on the list. I try to underline these things for these where they get scanned. So I underlined happy birthday. So it should be on that list. Okay. Why don't you read the next one and I'll check while that's moving on. We're with Andrew Papanabanko.

Jens, as the winemaker at Stuhlmüller Vineyards in the Alexander Valley, pay attention John, I've been absolutely jitty with all the recent wine discussion.

2:46:34 I don't remember mentioning Lithuania, but it's good to know. Songs of a Distant Christmas is streaming everywhere and links can be found at Jake or Jacob.com. That's J-A-K-E-O-R Jacob.com. It's all one word. Gays who know agenda together. sure do turn heads at parties, especially when Rachel Maddow is there. Are they at the Rachel Maddow parties? Apparently. Oh my goodness. Hold on a second. I'm looking at this website now. And then he says, TDS and TWS, Trump derangement and Trump withdrawal syndromes are just as contagious as COVID.

2:48:25 Tyler Stewart in Chillicothe, Ohio 295 40 to be knighted on Christmas Eve a gift to me from me to me No jingles, no karma. Thank you. And thank you for everything. He writes that we do T why the flat-earther here I'd like to be henceforth be known as sir. Ty of God's flat earth and bear Taria It should be Berataria, I think, but okay, Berataria. I want to invite all producers this Christmas to accept the greatest gift the world has given. The eternal Son of God took on human flesh to be born of a virgin and live a sinless life so he could be the perfect sacrifice required by God to pay the penalty for the sins of all who would believe.

2:49:13 We are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, Jesus Christ alone. The wages of sin are death, but Jesus offers eternal life. P.S. You do not have to be a flat earther to be a Christian. But it helped me. I was gonna add something. This is... Go ahead. Oh, I just finished this note. PPS, please add biscuits and piping hot gravy to the round table. Shout out to Owen, Benjamin and the Bears. I just love this whole, the whole piece about the internal son of God took on human flesh and I was just thinking we are saved by the grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. The wages of sin are death but Jesus offers eternal life and you're gonna need a Bitcoin. That's what needs to be added after it and then we're done. So, no jingles, no comment. Now, I want to say, there's another little, I have two peeves I want to get out of the way. Right in the middle of this.

2:50:15 One, as you mentioned, apparently, or what was it you said, it was, is actually. Actually. And I caught myself saying that. You caught it? I'm not a problem. The one that we never really bitched about, but it used to be a classic problem on radio. And you very rarely hear, but you'll start, you start, I've heard it a couple of times that I got irked by it. Basically. Oh yeah. No, we don't do basically. I don't think we've done basically. No, I don't think we've done basically, but I'm sure someone could find a saying. But basically and actually it's the same stupid word is just as bad. I think actually is horrible and I catch myself and. They're bad adverbs. They are very bad.

2:50:53 Now the other one, which this reminds me of because it's something I was irked about forgetting, I now am reminded. What the hell does piping hot mean? What is piping? You know, why do I... Martha Stewart says it all the time. I guarantee you, you've had this complaint before. I remember this and you even said Martha Stewart as an example. And I think it comes back to stovepipes. No, please. The expression was used as early as late medieval times referring to the steam that shot out of a spouted tea kettle. A device is used at least once ancient Mesopotamian. In other words piping hot means boiling hot.

2:51:40 I'm not buying it. Okay, that's according to the village voice, so you're clearly homophobic. So, get out of town. I may have to do some research on this because I don't like the word and I don't even understand where it comes from and I don't think anybody else does. And why don't you like the word? It's piping hot! It's piping hot! Man, I've never I've never done that you should be concerned about other things in life. This is not My concerns in life are all trivial. Okay, but not so with Dame Anne of Grey Rock from Crozet, Virginia cross it CROZ ET I don't know Crozet I've given up I've given up I don't know care anymore about pronouncing anything correctly. I

We're too tight for this market, really. Yeah, I have been reading it actually, actually, basically. Basically. I have been reading a lot about economics since COVID and discovered a book, Aftermath by James Rickards. Oh yeah, I'm familiar with James Rickards. That predicted this pandemic three years ago and very clearly explains the global financial justification for why they would do it. Great research. I'll leave it at that for brevity.

2:58:34 Please call out Dr. Steve as a douchebag. And send some goat karma for my goat farming operations. Hey, send pictures of said farming operations. Yeah, goats! Karma. And I want a goat named after me and John needs a goat named after him. Come on, this is an obvious promotion. Yeah, I want John the goat.

3:02:00 My cousin Aaron Moreno hit me in the mouth a lot of shows ago. He called me a douchebag twice and I'm finally donating. Therefore, as his Christmas gift, $100 goes towards his knighthood and $100 towards mine. Thank you for keeping us sane, especially since we live in the left coast. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas to you, Pasadena. I want to mention, a note that's not on the list, $200, because it came in as a cash donation, $200 in plastic money from Canada. Oh, you love that plastic money. It's indestructible. And he was in it with a Krampus card. He sent it down, not a Christmas card, but a Krampus card. People know what that is, Krampus the evil guy who stole children. Thank you for the best podcast in the universe and close to find 200 Canadian plastic pesos.

ITM, the Christmas donation should be credited to my smoking hot wife, Michelle Cox. Make a note, please. This note, this is donation gets switcheroo'd. Are you there? Yes, I'm here. There's a lot of stuff I have to do today, John. I know, I just asked you if you were there because I haven't heard from you for a while and I thought maybe I got disconnected. I'm here.

3:05:13 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Can I get a karma for my wife as she starts back to work from the harder work of maternity leave? Yes, we bet you can. You've got karma. And that's the end of our lengthy list. I want to thank all these people. 28 of them for contributing to this show 1306 and making it possible and especially important because we really normally in most normal years we get very little Christmas donations because and then many times we used to take it off for that reason. Have we ever really taken Christmas off? I don't think so. Yeah a couple times. Really? Yeah over the 13 years yeah.

3:05:59 At least once I can remember. So there's a couple of things that would need to be addressed. It's when it fell right on Christmas. When you're doing something for your husband, I'm looking at you, Frauke, make sure you tell us your husband's name so we can congratulate somebody becoming Surrealist. Mr. Frauke. Yeah. Then also there was something that came in way down below which I think got missed. This is from Ivo Veltin in Arnhem, the Netherlands. Hey Adam and John, PayPal's transaction history doesn't go back more than seven years. Who knows? But I believe

3:06:35 that with this donation of $12.34 and the upcoming monthly 11-11 I'll Reach Knighthood in 2020 can't think of any better way to end this eventful year. So I think this was missed because of where it came in but he wants to be knighted Sir Ivo Knight of De Faluazum and I'm pretty sure that he made that. This is someone who's been doing 1111s or 12.34 for a long, long time. You do it for years and years and it catches up to you. Yeah, it's fantastic. He goes on the list. He's on the list. I've got you listed and he wanted a foamer, a boogity boogity, and some Jobs Karma, so we'll do that for you, no problem. Boogity, boogity, boogity, boogity, boogity,

3:07:32 Oh my god! Woo! Listen to that horn! Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs! Now we have a mate good from John Pacifici. Who was upset that his note was not read. He was knighted on the previous show. Even though we did have it scanned, I don't know how we missed it, so I will take a stab at it. He says, the first check in the amount of $333.33 is made on behalf of me in the name of my older son Patrick who turns 16 on December 14th. Please add him to the birthday list. So I'm going to put him... I don't even know if we did that.

3:08:23 He's on his way to his own knighthood. I've been unknowingly hitting him and his brother in the mouth almost every school day for years and I was pleasantly surprised one day when we went for a drive and he asked indignantly why the No Agenda show wasn't playing. We now listen together all the time and many jingles have taken permanent residence in our household vocabulary. China's asshole is a particular favorite. Given their newfound interest in all things No Agenda, I recently dug out episode 420 to play the donation segment for them. Alright, dad. And their reaction to hearing my name and letter being read was to go absolutely bananas with excitement. You'd have thought I'd done something like play it out with guns and roses. Yeah, I used to hang out with those guys, no big deal. No, I knew at that moment that making a donation to the show in Patrick's name would be the perfect birthday present. So he's excited and honored to be called out as a douchebag. Followed by getting de-douched. You've been de-douched. And finally for his birthday, he'd like a China is asshole. Sorry, I hadn't had that all set up.

3:09:25 China's asshole and what else does he want followed by the dueling Biden and Trump triple it's wrong. It's true Oh God, I don't have those with me today. I'm gonna have to owe you that one and the second check He's a long overdue 133.33 from me and signifies my renewed commitment to support the show more consistently, inspired by my sons. The deep bond that has grown amongst us over our shared love of the No Agenda show deserves no demands that I get my head out of my ass and make my own knighthood an urgent priority. I've been extremely fortunate to have been able to keep working amidst all this shutdown insanity, therefore I plan to begin toiling towards this goal. Or if I'm lucky enough to receive a holiday bonus, I will use it to cover the remaining ground to knighthood in one fell swoop

3:10:08 All of them. Please give karma to any listeners who need it. And thank you very much for your courage. You two are truly doing a great public service. You dare, you are, I dare say, an actual national treasure in the best sense of the word. China is asshole! You've got karma. And I have a, yes, well, I have a make good to read. Okay. This is from Eric, Sir Eric is naked. I started sending Christmas cards again after a long hiatus and by the way we got a lot of Christmas cards and I think this Christmas cards are coming back into vogue. I got tons! I would I want to thank a couple people I got lots of beautiful cards. I think you got one from Eric. I might have. I saw it fitting and I sent you and Adam cards. My note to both you and Adam along with a hundo each are included in the cards.

3:11:04 Apologies for the scribbling penmanship. I was day drinking hard that day Keeping it short Can I just request a Yoko scream to do they had and dealers choice job karma? Yoko It's the same as the good it is the same exact same as the goat scream right no none of this is exactly the same Oh, I thought the goat scream was Yoko Well, yeah, but that's not that's not exactly what he wants. Just watch this. You've got karma. That's what he wanted.

3:11:55 There you go. I want to thank the Ray family for their beautiful card. I want to thank Gummy Nerds. I want to say... Yes, I got a Gummy Nerds card too, thank you. Dame Jennifer Weta, thank you very much. And the Ray family. Yep, Jennifer Weta, thank you. Also, I got Craig Nosely at Getting Cooked. We got that one, thank you. Got a nice one from Sergeant Fred. We all know Sergeant Fred. He's been a supporter producer of the show for a long, long time. And I wish a very, very Merry Christmas to him and his entire family. He's a podcaster, by the way. You should take a look at podcastreporter.com. Sergeant Fred has been part of the NOAA agenda Gitmo Nation for a long time. Now I have glitter everywhere in the studio, but the one I wanted to thank is this. I got a beautiful package from

3:12:53 Craig Nosely and from the whole family. It's really, I mean, apparently there's a Dutch store near them. So he got me magnet clog magnets from the fridge. Now did you get the Dutch licorice? I got two different packages of Dutch licorice. Now which ones did you get? I got the one that's a hard candy. What's the name? I... same as he got you, I'm sure they're exactly the same. Okay, so did you get the honing drop, which is the beehives, the honey? And did you get the... I did not get the beehives. Did you get this, the school chalk? That's my favorite.

3:13:36 No, you probably didn't. So, yeah, I did that licorice little white things with licorice inside. Yeah, the white ones that look like chalk. That is delicious. The other stuff is inedible. The school chalk is my, I already ate it all. It's like crack. It's saw me up. Yeah, you got to be careful. You'll just eat it all. No, no, I ate it all. It's done. The hard candy licorice is Inedible I had it actually J. Tried it. I tried it. It's I've never had a hard candy. That's ammonia did I wonder which I'd like to know which one it is what?

And we thank you for your time, your talent, and your treasure, the three T's of the Value for Value model. Again we're going long people were going long. We are going long very very long Okay, yes long segment. It was a long segment some good stuff in there um I have here well this I got a couple of minor things. I want to play okay, okay?

3:16:14 This is a trend I'm starting to notice in the mainstream. Unprofessional, but it seems that they like doing it. I don't know why. And I have a comment about this. This is the, okay I got two clips from this guy, but the one I want you to play is Reporter. Reporter in tears over food. Political sparring continues, millions of Americans remain in need. My colleague Gotti Schwartz met some of them as they waited in a long line of cars for food in the Los Angeles area today. During a live report on MSNBC's, Gotti's reaction to one couple's story was one most of us could identify with.

3:16:51 this food that you guys are picking up today, para que es? para la cena de navidad he says that the food that they're picking up here is for their Christmas meal bueno, gracias, gracias para compartir tu historia gracias, this is just one of the stories, I mean you've got a parking lot filled with people that are going to be picking up their meals picking up meals for Christmas sorry Yeah, it's nice in tears. It's horrible to see of course if you see people at the food banks yes Yeah, but I'm just talking about the reporting and I'm gonna here's what I have to say about it Mm-hmm. I've seen reporters go up to someone whose kid was butchered Stabbed to death shot in the head, and they're not in tears no no over that

3:17:45 It's unprofessional to go to fall into tears over somebody's, you know, Christmas meal and then be deadpan serious when somebody's kid has been shot in the head by a drive-by shooting. Oh really, so what do you have to say? And then they have the parents on with the drive-by with who had the kid. The parents are in tears. They're just bawling like babies. And then the reporter's, okay, that's great. Back to you in the studio, Bob. I mean, what's going on here? Well, how about this? this reporter, this is a local report or is this a network? Network! Network! Doesn't really matter. The guy's local on the scene, he's making $35,000 a year, he's crying because he knows he's next. Yeah, I'm not kidding. Yeah, well there's an element of truth to that. He knows that he's one step away. One paycheck. Here's the same guy

3:18:38 They go back to Lester and he says, oh yeah, everyone's gonna identify with this poor schlub. And so they throw it back to him a second time and the crying reporter's not crying anymore, but they do the follow-up. This is a crying reporter follow-up and here's, he follows up with more of the story, not crying as much anymore. At any given food drive, there's always someone at the front of the line. And today in Santa Monica, it was Maria and Saturnino Villegas who showed up three hours early. Like so many others, Saturnino lost his job at a restaurant. He says they had a little bit of savings and now they're going around and they're looking for cans and bottles to recycle.

3:19:17 And as these lines wind all across the country, inside cars are families that never thought they'd be waiting for food donations two days before Christmas. Coming from last year, going to restaurants on a regular basis and living life to the fullest, it definitely was a shock to us. The Los Angeles Regional Food Bank has given out 120 million meals since the pandemic began. But when an estimated one in four people have been food insecure here during the pandemic, It's still not enough. The food bank's distribution has increased by 145% since the pandemic hit and we're not necessarily reaching everyone who needs help. And as the Villegas receive their food, they tell us what volunteers hear again and again. They plan on sharing this blessing with others in their community that need it too. Well, it is real. There are people starving.

3:20:07 I agree with this and I don't know if the one in four is an accurate number but if it is, it's beside the point and so far as the reporting is concerned, why don't they report on the fact that this shutdown didn't work? And the shutdowns and all the shutdowns, this is California. This is bullcrap. We put that, especially in California, everyone does follows the rules. They mask up, they stay a distance apart and we're shut down. And meanwhile, Florida's, you know, the beaches are open. This is bullcrap. And they should be, but they never cast blame on anybody. Instead of that report, they should be directing that report at Gavin Newsom. Well, why would they do that? They're in the same elite club.

3:20:50 Yeah, well, he probably is your mind. He probably did. Yeah. Well, it's not happy. You're right is rightfully so John rightfully So you have every now I've been telling you for years to move out of California, but you roughing it out I have appreciation for that You're gonna ride the valley of your home all the way. The podcasters do well in this Well, let's since we're doing Christmas reporting we have yet another sighting of our secret Santa at Walmart. I think it's a Christmas miracle It started with the call and rather L from Walmart on December 8th that Latoya Lee didn't see coming My railway was paid off and I could come pick up my items and I told her I said is this a scam?

3:21:33 Is this the wrong account? It was definitely the correct account. An anonymous woman paid off her entire $233 layaway bill that was full of Christmas gifts for her daughter. It was amazing. I couldn't believe it. I was asking the Walmart associate, do you know who she is? Can I send her a thank you card? Can I get, you know, get her information just to say thank you. And I know other families Other families want to do the same. There were actually two layaway angels, Walmart tells News 8, who wanted to pay what they could to bless other customers. Walmart says they came in on separate days with the same mission in mind, to bless others. We're honored to play a small role in these acts of kindness, and we love seeing the joy it brings to our customers this time of year. Now, this was in Indiana. I believe this to be different. I think the strategy Walmart has applied is paying off very well this year.

3:22:26 Typically, it's a secret Santa who then pays off everybody's layaway. And just so you understand, for people outside the United States, even some people inside the United States, before credit cards, before we ruined everybody, you could save your money, which was what we were encouraged to do as children, or you could buy something on layaway, which meant it was put aside and you can pay off an amount every month or as often as you can so when you get to the time when you want it you can kind of plan your payments it was still kind of a reverse saving but you're basically saving up to get

3:23:06 The product, this is not the way of the world anymore. We have to have credit karma and credit goo and credit up your butt and everything to get your points and you're doing great, you improve your score, we give you more credit, more loans, that's where they want you. I believe this to be a real layaway angel, which is the term they use. They differentiate between actual human beings doing this versus a paid for advertisement from the corporation. And I realized this when I got a note from Tom Animas, we've heard from him many times before on the show. I thought I could share a personal story about the secret layaway payoffs that might prove it's not all a complete sham. When my mom was young, my grandmother would go to her local Kmart every year and typically spend $200 to $300 paying off someone's layaway bill for Christmas.

3:23:58 When her Kmart went out of business, she started going to the local Walmart. Although she is currently locked up this year in a care facility due to the Corona baloney, my mom, three aunts, and my two uncles, four decades, have continued this. They will typically spend $250 to $500 secretly paying off someone's tab for Christmas. often choosing Walmart's as their store. Does Walmart use this to their ad advantage? Surely, but as far as the Tom Onomous family goes, it's a very real thing. I can't wait to hit the mall in the mouth and congrats on making it into the 1300s. I thought that was good. It is a nice thing to do and I think this is different. This is the layaway angel, not the same as the secret Santa. But I think it's a nice thing to do. I'm skeptical.

3:24:47 Well, of course you are. Why wouldn't you be skeptical? Man. Ah, brother. Alright, I do have a... I have a clip I... I can't really feel... I have mixed feelings about playing. But I do have... It has to do with a feeling I have about Bill Gates. Well, we need to hear this because you don't like him much. I like Bill. I don't. Well, I have you're the one that doesn't like him. That's correct But I don't like what he's doing and I don't like the fact that he's setting himself up for some issues I mean he could get himself he's maybe getting yourself into trouble because he is he is and he doesn't know this because he doesn't pay attention to anything outside of you know, whatever, you know the high-end meetings he's constantly and lording it over the WHO and whatever. Mm-hmm

3:25:43 But the kind of hate that is being generated targeting him is much worse than it was when he got pied. If you recall... Oh my goodness, this is such a long time ago. Yes, I believe it was 20 years ago. Yeah, but this is before he had the Gavi and the foundation and before he was Dr. Bill. This is before his medical education. Yes, before he got his MD. His MD, yes. His BS MD. Well people now can... I mean we... okay, before you play whatever you're gonna play, throughout this pandemic we have seen nothing but hate for Bill Gates. He's evil, it's the Bill Gates vaccine, his fingerprints are all over this. He is no doubt

3:26:31 despised by millions at this point, let alone the children all around the world who were killed from some of his vaccine trials, which didn't turn out that well, allegedly. So he, uh... Yeah, allegedly. So he's, I think he's putting himself at risk because the, I know, I remember that era of the pieing where he got pied. He got solidly pied by this pie guy. He was pieing everybody. Was that because of the anti-competitive nature of the browser? Yeah, probably. The guy was pieing, this is a very famous pie guy. That was pying and pying and pying. Somebody sued him, he stopped pying people. But he was doing it at every chance he could. And Bill was out and about. I mean, you could see Bill, he'd take a bus, he'd take a cab. He was just, he was not a, he wasn't cloistered. He was being cloistered after the pipe. He used to fly coach. Yeah, that was something of a sham. That was a big story where, oh, Microsoft. When he was still at Microsoft, he was rumored to be flying coach so everyone else would.

3:27:31 He's right. I have the story behind that story because I ran into him on a plane once And first class, no doubt he was in first class, but he bought a coach ticket because at the time he would not take limos. He didn't buy. He bought. He would take cabs. You do all these things. And he always flew coach. He did. He flew coach. But as soon as Bill Gates came on board any flight, they moved him in the first class. They bumped somebody out of first class to get him up there. They didn't want Bill and coach. So he flew coach kind of. He bought coach tickets and flew first class. So that was a scam of a story. I mean, maybe flew a few times in coach before somebody got a clue.

3:28:17 But this situation, because he was pretty out, available, easy to bump into, you'd see him all the time, before he got pied. Once he got pied, he got some security guys, and I was at some event once, this was again in that time frame, some time after, and he had security guys with him, the guys were talking to their, you know, into their little lapel, hey, what are you doing? And he became closer, and he became less and less available. I think he's so cloistered that he doesn't realize the kind of hate that's being generated. I mean, he's putting himself at extreme risk from some nutball that's going to maybe go after him. And he doesn't even know it. I think he's totally clueless. But let's just listen to what David Icke has to say about Bill Gates and tell me that, you know, this is part of the problem. These events that are happening now are not about money.

3:29:12 How do we get richer? That's a byproduct and these people are so greedy of course, they love all that stuff. But if you go to the core of the core, it's all about control. this global web and with a spider at the center, this inner core. And if you go to DavidIke.com I've done a 16 minute animated film explaining how all this works and how through this they pulled off the pandemic. It's simpler than people think. would be possible. And so you have a series of people, front people, Elon Musk's another one, who are cover stories for

3:29:55 bringing technology and other things and funding woke organizations like BLM, which Soros does. They appear to be individual philanthropy and business at work, but actually they're just front people for this web and they do what the web tells them. And so Gates, funnily enough, I wrote 85% of the answer, which I started last October, before all the lockdowns kicked in. In that first 85% of the book where I was pointing out what the plan is, well, and then in this period since, what I said was the plan is kind of unfolded at a rate of knots. But the reason I mention this is that Bill Gates gets many mentions

3:30:42 in the first 85% of the book, including these vaccine connections. Before any of this, lockdown kicked in and he became, you know, Mr. Health Policy because he funds loads of things, not least common core education in America to program kids. Everywhere you look, he funds the media, which then interview him with softball questions. It's everywhere, Gates money. Well, this is not news. No, but it's the way he treats Gates in the second clip, which is just like, you know, if you're going to start demonizing people to this extreme, the person's at risk. And my point is that I don't think Bill knows this and just listen to this part of it. But his prime role, among his others for this cult, is to front up control of health policy and vaccinate the world.

3:31:38 And so he stepped down from Microsoft in March, because he knew what was coming. That's why he was predicting, oh, there's a pandemic coming. Yeah, because you bloody know! Because you're orchestrating it with others. So he's a super, super psychopath. I mean, you have to have no empathy and no compassion in your entire being to create the catastrophe for human life that he has. knowing that that's what he's doing and that's what the outcome is going to be because that's what he wants the outcome to be.

3:32:16 I wouldn't even describe him as human if you use the term humanity in being human, human traits. I wouldn't describe him even human because he doesn't have any of those traits. And his job is to control the World Health Organization. He controls Ted Ross. He was the one that had him appointed, of course. And from this central point, he's controlling global health policy. This is a, this is not new from Ike. This is part of his overall... No, I know. I just, this is a new presentation by him. I'm not, let me finish. I'm not against it. I'm actually all in. I'm not all in on Elon in that way.

3:32:59 I think he's more a tool of the military-industrial complex, who's just letting him go and lots of money somehow gets into pumping that stock beyond your wildest dreams. Unbelievable. I mean way beyond anything. The only thing that would make sense For the success that Elon has is that he and others know that there's some free energy out there that will create electricity So gates Yeah, this guy has been a thorn in people's side for a long time. The the common core was Outrageous and everyone all of a sudden was dr. Bill the educator now. I mean it is part of some system of

3:33:48 That is definitely rooted in controlling the population and Bill Gates is just an idiot savant. I think that it'd be easy to control him. That's what Melinda's there for. I mean you yourself agree with this. She's the handler. She's the one that's controlling him. He's just a little puppet really. He's a sad man who can program pretty well, but not that great. Well, the problem I have with this, and the point of these clips is not to bitch and moan about Gaith one way or the other, is that when you start dehumanizing somebody, you call them not human, this is what the Nazis did to the Jews, this is what the American settlers did to the American Indians, this kind of thing gets you killed. Yeah. Because people, oh, he's not even human, I can kill him, I'll just shoot him.

3:34:41 And this is where Bill's headed if he doesn't start paying attention and get the hell off the media. He doesn't even leave his house or his office. He has nothing to worry about. He well he does get out of the house and he's floating around these big meetings with all these hot shots He got pied get remember that he knows he's susceptible, but he's kind of lost his way I think and I don't think he's at home. I think he's not at home most of the time I'm just I'm just saying if something weird happens, and we hear about this assassination You can blame all these guys who are promoting this kind of idea

3:35:19 Why would I blame anybody? I'll blame Ike. Why could I just not rejoice? You could. Yeah. See for me... That's the point I'm trying to make is that's not the idea. I understand. You don't want like what Gates is doing either argue against him, get that much money and fight him or just he should or just stop listening to him. I mean the guy is not... I mean he's good at a couple of things that he's a good... he's good at identifying people to hire That's about it. Well, this is an interesting defense or pre-defense you have a bill I mean you I clearly do you like the guy or something because I really couldn't care less. I think he's evil I won't dehumanize him II have he has a heartbeat But we're not even sure of that. So no, I think that the people who I'd like to know you I'm just I stayed in my position. I'm not gonna make an argument with you. I

3:36:14 I know, but I'm allowed to say whatever I want. You can say whatever you want. You're not the boss of me. But I'm just saying I'm not here to argue about it. I'm just here to state my position. Got it. And I was continuing, you keep interrupting me. The people that I... I know. I'm not interrupting you. When do I ever interrupt? I have never interrupted you in this entire 14 years. So people also from Seattle who should be held to account at the local level and then we can deal with the gates of the world who are clearly out for control and yes I think are the problem. Here's the president of the Seattle City Council about the defunding the police that they've set in and here's the reasoning. I just want you to understand

3:36:57 Bill Gates's fellow Seattleites, how they're thinking up there and give you an idea of how Bill Gates, what he has in his head. You know, I would have wanted to see something happen faster and more and be bigger. But at the end of the day, it would be difficult to, in one budget cycle, undo 400 years of institutionalized racism in a police department. What's the future of the Seattle Police Department in your eyes? What should it look like? We have asked police to solve homelessness, affordable housing issues, mental health crisis and substance use issues, and poverty.

3:37:39 And that is not the solution. Policing is not the solution to those issues. And so we need to, with the scalpel approach, begin the process of taking those duties and tasks away from the policing system and put them into the proper systems that have been getting defunded for years now. So now it's time to flip that script. This young lady should take a trip and go on a couple of runs with the police at night and see what it's really like what they're doing. And she feels that all they're doing is that list of things that they've been asked to do, which to me shows a clear failing of the city council and the city itself. And here's the strategy.

3:38:24 looking at as a strategy is first and foremost, how can we prevent the police department from continuing to grow? We reduced their hiring budget by about $6.1 million in the form of transferring divisions out of the police department to make them a true civilian function. So it's a combination of cuts and transfers that led to a 20% reduction of the police department's budget. Does the rhetoric of defund and abolish, does that kind of complicate the picture here? I do think that it's an oversimplification of a very complex issue. Defund SPD isn't just about defunding. It's about

3:39:06 recognizing that there is value in our black and brown and indigenous neighbors and community members. It's about making sure that we remember that we have underinvested in those same community members to an embarrassing degree. Using the police to signal your virtue is what I see from that. And that's what she's saying. What that is. She's actually saying this is just It's so wrong. We have not discussed the second hack uncovered after the SolarWinds compromise.

3:39:50 Now we're learning that there has been a different actor or actors inside systems everywhere, possibly for months or years. Isn't it fun when the CIA and the NSA meet each other online and like, hey, what are you doing here? What are you doing here? Oh my God, we've been here for years. I'm MeToo. This is like the time where you get the DEA and the local police to have a shootout against each other. This is it's so obvious what is going on here. But to really understand it once again, we go to Joe Biden's holiday message. The truth is this. The Trump administration failed to prioritize cybersecurity. It did that from eliminating or downgrading cyber coordinators in both the White House and at the State Department.

3:40:37 to firing the director of cyberspace and infrastructure security agency, to President Trump's irrational downplaying of the seriousness of this attack. Enough's enough. In an age when so much of our lives are conducted online, cyber attacks must be treated as a serious threat by our leadership at the highest levels. We can't let this go unanswered. That means making clear and publicly Who is responsible for the attack? And taking meaningful steps to hold them in account. Wait for it. Initial indications, including from Secretary Pompeo, Secretary of State and Attorney General William Barr, suggest that Russia, Russia is responsible for this breach.

3:41:22 It certainly fits Russia's long history of reckless disruptive cyber activities. But the Trump administration needs to make an official attribution. This assault happened on Donald Trump's watch when he wasn't watching. It's still his responsibility as president to defend American interests for the next four weeks. But rest assured that even if he does not take it seriously, I will. Merry Christmas, everybody. His whole holiday message filled with horrible things and it's Russia! It's Russia! This guy's gonna be the worst. It's Russia! Nah. You know, there's a reason why Kamala Harris is taking the COVID shot a week later. I'm gonna see if this guy can, if we can get him to kick the bucket. It's still possible he might get ill any day now. Any day now. Well he's acting ill.

3:42:20 Man you see him only a year ago. He's so it's so different just a small year ago It really went downhill fast with him. Yeah, it's true. That's true Let's see, we do have another break. We got some nightings, we got other things to some administrative. We do have a lot of nightings and birthdays. I did want to play one quick one. This came from America Thought Leaders. I always like listening to that podcast. This is Bill Gertz. He's a China analyst. We haven't bitched much about the CCP today. He has been looking through the CCP database.

3:42:58 The one that is released has now been translated and he has some thoughts on it. First of all, there's 93 million people in the Chinese Communist Party So this is a relatively small percentage of their party membership, but I think what's significant is that it will allow people researchers investigative reporters like myself to begin to trace some of the patterns of of employment and penetrations by these places that then can be used to go and analyze how other sectors that we don't have lists for are penetrated by Chinese officials. I think that it will also help

3:43:35 to really expose the corruption within China, because a lot of the so-called princelings, the offspring of top party officials, they not only come to the United States, they park their money here, they send their children here to universities, they drive around in Lamborghinis, and some of them even manage to get U.S. passports. This is gonna be so good. We know what to look for and China Joe is just gonna let it all happen. We can just see those princelings driving the Lambos around downtown Austin. They're coming. You'll see it. Yeah. Now this must be a thing in San Francisco. The princelings? Is that what they call them? Princelings? No, this is mostly an LA thing. Of course. Why would they hang out in San Francisco?

3:44:32 Yeah, makes no sense. Crazy. Beverly Hills. Before we take our value for value break, which is how we like to run the show, I've been keeping my eye on Spotify and how they're progressing, trying to get you to convert to listen to podcasting on their platform exclusively. And I think the writing's on the wall. This is not working out well. And I want your opinion as a media analyst. Two stories. Story number one, this is the first big announcement I've seen of a year-long partnership. It's being billed as a partnership. I think it would be better to call it an advertising deal for the Joe Rogan Show. Now you tell me if this is the... Have you heard of any announcements about big advertisers for the Rogan Show? Have you read anything about that? I read the trades, no.

3:45:31 Well, big announcement. CBDMD signed a one-year partnership with them. This has been an existing sponsor. And so they have... this is the first big sponsorship that has been announced. But they already were sponsored? They were already paying their foot in the bill? They were already a sponsor. So they came over. And also, wouldn't you want like a car brand or a big... Oh yeah, Ford. She wants something big. Even Leo got Ford for a while. I mean, and I mean, hey, we've got a lavenderblossoms.org. I mean, we get... It's as good as Ford as far as I'm concerned. Big deal. Yeah, we got a CBD sponsor, although he's not a sponsor. I just thought that was an odd first announcement unless I missed one, but probably more concerning

3:46:23 is this full article about Spotify's ambition to become your most preferred audio habit. That's the type, who wrote this piece of the India Times? That tells you enough. India Times does have some pretty good articles. Yeah, generally speaking better than the New York Times, but. This is what I've been saying is that I don't see how Spotify is going to convert their existing music app listeners into podcast app listeners. I think it's going to be hard for them. I think they will have to use the open infrastructure. We'll see. But considering our history and our history with Ron Bloom at Podshow and Mevio, tell me that when you hear the following term that something is not doomed to fail.

3:47:22 I want to read the whole sentence because I think you'll love this. Yes. So about 30% of the consumption on Spotify comes from editorial and algorithmic recommendation. So they're trying to say to people, oh, you like listening to this song, you'll love this podcast. And they're calling it Algotorials. Tell me that isn't the kiss of death right there. That is totally the kiss. It's the kiss of ridicule in that. I mean, in most cases, at least it's something we've heard before like edutorial or advert, something or other. But this is off the scales. This is a bloomism that is destined to fail. It is a bloomism. Algatorial. I saw that and when I, okay.

3:48:17 This is not, it's great, it's not going to work out. I've been a part of many, many of these types of terms. Has anyone ever succeeded that you can recall? No. It doesn't work. We might work in a Hollywood meeting and you're trying to pitch something, but that's about it. But we wish them well, of course, and we wish them a very Merry Christmas. Everybody over there in the social justice army. Speaking of the devil, there he is. Indeed. The devil? Yeah, Sir Kyle of Lavender Blossoms. We were just talking about.

I wonder if our boys in Provincetown that were at the party with Rachel, if everyone was masked up, I want to report. Which party with Rachel?

3:59:02 They talked about being at a party with Rachel Maddow. Oh, the boys! Gays who know each other together sure do turn heads at parties, especially when Rachel Maddow is there. And was she there when she was supposedly home with her sick partner? I'm wondering. Now this just comes to mind. We need gays on the ground! Bring it, boys! No, seriously. All of a sudden, I can't help but seeing his album cover. I'm gonna have to go look at it. It's hilarious. But before we do anything, we need to do a couple of nightings and damings.

I'm gonna save the Chrome developers. We have somebody saying Merry Christmas wouldn't be bad. I don't think we have anyone It's so unpopular to say Merry Christmas. Yeah, well worst day yet then I We got to wrap this up, but I did want to make mention There is a song in the Netherlands which was done by you fun attack who is a cabaret che which is old-school name for stand-up comic in the old world and

4:05:29 And he wrote this song, this must be 40 years ago, called Floppy. And Floppy is a song about a rabbit, hence the flappy, flappy ears. what happens to Flappy, this poor boy's pet rabbit, on Christmas Day. And would you believe that this song, this Floppy song, has been covered by Todd Rundgren of all people? And I just want to play a little bit. You can guess how it ends, but it's just so weird to have this old traditional Dutch song, creepy one, covered by Todd Rundgren. It was Christmas morning, 1961. I recall the empty pen where my rabbit pet belonged. And my mother told me, don't go in the shed. And if I'd just behave, then I'd get something yummy later on.

4:06:25 She also didn't know where Floppy was, and said she'd ask my dad who was busy in the shed. So, you know what happens at the end of the song, right? The rabbit's dead. Yeah, they eat the rabbit for Christmas dinner. Yeah. I can't believe Todd Rundgren covered this. Well, maybe he likes rabbits. It's a horrible, sad song. The kids running all over the place trying to find Flappy. Flappy and he's not in the shed where's flappy, and then he's on the table they ate floppy. Yeah, well it's kind of a sick It's not for a sick I just found it very odd that Todd run could would do that, but maybe that's Todd. I met the guy yeah pretty normal Everyone's met Todd runner, and he's gotten around well. He's I think he lives around here somewhere that we're in well ask him about it
