About this episode

Amazon Web Services and major app stores terminated hosting for Parler following the Capitol riot, triggering a massive migration of users toward decentralized alternatives. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey reportedly faced intense internal pressure from hundreds of activist employees to permanently suspend President Donald Trump, a move that critics argue signals a shift where big tech corporations exert more control over the flow of information than elected officials. The media has responded by anchoring specific labels like insurrectionist and Retrumplicans to the events of January 6th, while figures like Chris Krebs call for legal accountability for election disinformation.

Forbes Chief Content Officer Randall Lane issued a public warning to corporations against hiring former Trump administration press secretaries, including Kayleigh McEnany and Sean Spicer, threatening to treat their future communications as disinformation. Simultaneously, the National Education Association distributed classroom resources like Woke Kindergarten to teachers, emphasizing anti-racism checklists and the removal of the president. In the corporate sector, Goosehead Insurance fired its associate general counsel after his identification at the Capitol, highlighting a growing trend of workplace snitching and the use of the Neeland Foundation language guidance to frame news reporting.

Vice President-elect Kamala Harris faces plagiarism allegations after recounting a childhood anecdote about demanding freedom that mirrors a 1965 Martin Luther King Jr. interview. Meanwhile, the show explores the science of champagne corks and the pretentiousness of coffee cupping protocols with the Anonymous Roaster of Beans. Sir Ben in the Simulation and Sir Nate receive formal knighthood for their contributions to the value-for-value model during this period of digital deplatforming.

No Agenda Show Infrastructure, Value for Value Model Security

The No Agenda Show remains operational despite widespread digital deplatforming due to its independent infrastructure and the "value for value" funding model. Centralized services like Twitter and Parler are identified as vulnerable points of failure for content creators. The hosts credit their community of system administrators and producers for maintaining 95% of their own server architecture.

00:00 Baseless, baseless, baseless. Adam Curry, John C. DeVora. It's Sunday, January 11th, 2021. This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1311. This is no agenda. OTG, but still broadcasting live from Opportunity Zone 33 here in the frontier of Austin, Texas, capital of the drone star state. In the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're passing around Nancy Pelosi's laptop. Apparently she plays hunt the wampus a lot. I'm John C. DeVore. Okay, nice one. Nice call back to hunt the wampus. All five people know. Yes. Well, may I start by congratulations handing out congratulations to all producers

00:55 Past and present for maintaining the security of our products. The NOAA agenda show by supporting the value for value model with your time, your talent, your treasure, especially our dudes named Ben and dudettes named Bernadette. We always knew the sysadmins would save the day, the IT specialists were on our side, and we run on probably 95% our own infrastructure. We're not bulletproof, but can you just imagine if we were using any other platform, even if Twitter was important, if that's where we communicated, this would be quite disturbing what would be happening right now. And so far, it's good. We're hanging in.

01:41 But it's really a testament to the model and a testament to everyone who continues to participate. This deplatforming is huge. Yeah, I agree with that. It's a testament. I think that the way we do it is absolutely the only way to go. Yeah. But I don't think we'd be taken off anything. We're not a threatening operation. We just deconstruct news stories and mock people. Yeah, beside the point, John, if we had advertising, that's my point. No, if we had advertising, we would have been done years ago. Yes, we would have. Really what's happening now, and we've been, I've personally been preparing for this moment. Centralized services are just not the answer. You know, oh wow, Parler's the solution to Twitter. No it's not. Centralized services are just not the answer. And thank goodness we've figured out different ways to do it. And thank you to all of our dudes and dudettes.

Amazon Web Services, Parler Hosting Termination

Amazon Web Services (AWS) terminated hosting for the social media platform Parler, citing concerns over harmful content. This move follows similar actions by Apple and Google to remove the app from their respective stores. The discussion highlights the risks of relying on S3 buckets and centralized DNS services, noting that even the No Agenda show previously received automated warnings from Amazon regarding linked content.

02:41 You know, everyone who's running stuff, running No Agenda Social, running websites, running the servers, all of that. And even if, you know, this Amazon thing, that's pretty interesting. It's one thing to have Apple say oh we can't have this app in the App Store because it may potentially connect you to harmful speech Which is truly what they're saying and they did that with that's pathetic it is It's another for Amazon to say well, we just can't host you on you know. They're using Amazon AWS Amazon Web Services s3 buckets we were using those quite extensively up until

03:22 About two months ago and Dave Jones helped me move everything off onto onto different infrastructure but I didn't we discussed on the show where someone had complained and Amazon sent me a note because the page that had the index to the show notes was linked to harmful content and I don't recall that. It was some automated note. Yeah, automated note and then I replied and then it was over. But that's the extent. DNS. If you have a no agenda domain name you're maintaining, make sure that it's current with the payment. DNS, they're going to go after name services. It's guaranteed. This is every single thing that is happening now is, yup, been ready for that. Knew that was going to happen.

04:11 And people are... Well, the Amazon thing surprises me the most. Not at all! Really? Yeah, it does. You can't say I'm not surprised. I'm not because I just told you the story where they contacted me about a complaint. No, I know, but it still surprises me that Amazon would be political in just doing that. All they do is it's AWS. They don't... It's not as though there's anything like Twitter. Yeah, but you have to understand Amazon's game. They do not want anyone stirring up crap about how evil Amazon is so that then people start to boycott their store. They have a dog in the hunt. And if Parler's a big target, it's not the No Agenda show, I agree. Parler's a big target. Do you think that they want to listen to that? They're not going to take a stand on that. No way! No way!

Parler Social Media, Gold Badge Outreach

An outreach director from Parler, who is married to a No Agenda knight, offered the hosts verified "gold badge" accounts on the platform. While expressing support for the platform's right to exist, the hosts reiterate their preference for decentralized social media over centralized alternatives. A brief reference is made to the film "Treasure of the Sierra Madre" regarding the "stinking badges" quote.

parler· social media· gold badge· outreach director· knight

05:05 I'm surprised, I'm still irked that it's not pronounced Parley. And we got a, you know, outreach from their, from Parley's outreach director who is married to one of our knights. Like, hey, you know, so sit you guys up on Parler and I'll make sure you have a gold badge. And I said, I can't speak for John, but I'm really not participating in social media. I use Twitter as an inbox for what it's worth and I'm on no agenda social. But what's happening to you guys is of course completely bull crap. So I'll fight for them in that regard. I have a Parlay account. Wait a minute. I shall grant it to you.

05:54 There you go. Grant me the grant me the great gold account. You have a gold badge! Yeah, no, that's taken care of, no problem. I don't want any badges. I don't want any of that. You got no stinking badges. So the, um, just a quick rundown of things so we can just... Another lost reference. No, that's not a lost reference. No, do you remember what the actual reference was? Yeah. Okay, what was it? It's from a movie, it's from the Treasure of the Sierra Madre. Yeah, and that morphed into we don't need no stinking transmitters. It's an old podcasting thing too. So, since everyone is emailing me a whole bunch of questions and now we're awake,

CHAPTER 04 / 50 Discussion

Digital Privacy Tools, GrapheneOS, Signal, ProtonMail

Recommendations for maintaining digital privacy include using GrapheneOS on Pixel phones, switching to Signal for messaging, and learning to operate Linux servers. Users are encouraged to explore Bitcoin and decentralized email solutions to avoid the eventual corporate acquisition or compromise of services like ProtonMail or Hushmail. The hosts emphasize moving away from centralized big tech ecosystems entirely.

grapheneos· signal· protonmail· bitcoin· linux· digital privacy

06:43 Here's a list. They're emailing you questions about... why don't you read a couple? Well, I'm going to give the answers instead of... the questions are all very similar. So first of all, yes, Signal is always going to be better than WhatsApp or any other messaging system. Am I completely convinced it's cool and private? No, no. But for right now, that's definitely something you could use. Yeah. The phone that I'm using, which now a lot of people want, is a Pixel, which has been completely de-googled and cloaked by installing Graphene OS and a couple other

07:25 VPN like piehole firewall stuff and our producer at noagendaphone.com from what I understand is swamped so we need over on No Agenda Social we need a couple more dudes named Ben to do these services for people because it's kind of daunting to flash your phone. Find yourself a Ben or a Bernadette and if you're one of those make yourself available set up a mastodon for your family but don't Be careful if you're getting something that's pre-hosted, because they're all social justice warriors now. I'm gonna remove your mastodon if you post something hateful. Figure out Linux. Learn how to set up a little Linux box. Get a podcasting 2.0 app. Here's a thought. Learn how to buy Bitcoin. Figure out how to use it. Let's run with gold. Well, gold is fine. It's just not that easy to use at the moment.

08:26 I'm saying fine. I'm just saying it gold is not that hard to understand how to use Bitcoin. I have a solution to what's that put the phone in a drawer and leave it there. Mm-hmm. That's absolutely a good idea. It's a very good idea. A lot of people don't have that luxury, you know, like podcasters sitting at home. Don't have to go anywhere. Get your ham radio license, you know. Look at other email services. Proton, maybe. I think they're pretty good still. That's the kind of stuff that you need to do. Well, Proton will end up in the same bucket as Hushmail. What? You mean a good bucket? No, they end up in a bucket. They get bought by somebody else and that's the end of it. Did Hushmail get bought? I believe Hushmail got bought. They used to be the most secure of all of them. What happened to Hushmail? I mean, obviously what you want is you want to have a small group of people

09:19 with someone who knows what they're doing and you know that person will run a small mail server but the idea that we can have please stop suggesting that no agenda show do an email server for everybody yeah no we're not doing that yeah no that's not happening ever no nor should it this is the whole point you have to get your head out of the idea of centralized services and the only thing that is A lot of people I know are very, very upset about this. And the idea that big tech can do this is frightening to a lot of people. And I completely understand. We've been prepared. We've been talking about OTG for years. For years we've been talking about this. We know you're an OTG kind of guy. You are the proto-OTG. You're better than I am because you put the phone in the drawer.

Twitter Corporate Culture, Jack Dorsey, Employee Activism

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey is described as being bullied by his own employees into banning President Donald Trump. Internal pressure from approximately 350 staffers reportedly led to the permanent suspension of the presidential account. The narrative of "inciting an insurrection" is characterized as a surface-level justification used by activist employees to remove a political figure they disliked.

jack dorsey· twitter· social justice warriors· corporate activism· insurrection

10:12 Leave it there. Now if we could help you hit the repeater nearby, you'd be perfect. I'm gonna work on that part. But we've been preparing for this. You have to know that you're not silenced, you're not censored. The internet was built to route around bullcrap like this. Twitter and Facebook, they're bugs in the system. They're bugs. They're not necessary. The budget called the employees. The problem is, you know, if you keep these employees out of the company to begin with, I mean if you look at a picture of Jack Dorsey, the guy looks like he's beleaguered. Yeah, well he looks, what's the word? You're bullied by your own employees and they can be very, they're bullies. These social justice warriors are just what they say they don't like. They're bullies and they bully their own company. They're just stupid employees, no offense to the

11:08 stupid employees, but you get a paycheck. You're not a shareholder, well you might be a shareholder, but you're not a corporate executive, you're not a major shareholder, you're not running the company, but yet you run the company. And get away with it. This is what happened with Dorsey. Supposedly he got 350 letters or internal memos because the company encourages this from a bunch of social justice warriors who said they can't put up with this anymore. They can't have this person on the platform. They can't have Trump on the platform. Trump is the one they wanted to get rid of and they finally got rid of him. To get rid of the President of the United States because you don't like him? Yeah, but that's... See, this... Stop. This is what is different.

11:54 This is not because we don't like him. This is because he incited an insurrection and had domestic terrorists come up. That's the constant message. I know it's not true. That's the surface. That's shallow. They don't like him. I know the... Of course I understand the true meaning. Most people live on the surface. All they see is pictures associated with the word domestic terrorists, insurrection, incitement to violence. This is very, very damaging.

Media Coverage of Deplatforming, Brian Stelter, Anderson Cooper

CNN's Brian Stelter and Anderson Cooper reported on Twitter's decision to ban President Trump and subsequently block his attempts to tweet from the POTUS and White House government accounts. The media's celebration of these bans is criticized as short-sighted. The discussion posits that big tech companies now exert more control over the government and media flow than elected officials.

brian stelter· anderson cooper· cnn· twitter ban· potus account

12:31 Anyway, I do have the experts on this, Brian Stelter and Anderson Cooper, to give us a lowdown on exactly what's been happening with this deplatforming. That's right. What am I thinking? You know that they're the ones who know what's happening. Brian, I just got a word that minutes ago, apparently President Trump tried to tweet from the POTUS Twitter account, and correct me if I'm wrong, the Twitter Twitter immediately took it down. I mean... Yeah, the whole rule of this ban is if Trump tries to go on anybody else's account and post, this ban applies to any of those accounts. Now, these are the POTUS account, the White House account. These are U.S. government accounts. Okay, and who's responsible? Brian, I mean, this is going beyond just President Trump being banned from Twitter. The tech industry as a whole seems to be kind of waking up and taking some action. Yes, Google has banned Parler, which is that newer social network... Hold on, stop!

13:26 You'd think the way this would go would be just the opposite. The way it went, if you listen to it, it's like, oh, and they banned him, and now the tech industry's finally taking action, like this is a good thing? Yes, they believe this is all fantastic. This I was watching um so they don't think this could happen to them. No, no, they forget that they forget of course they don't first of all these guys should not you know these guys should not be broadcasters. They're not broadcasters. They're news models. Come on. We all know that. No this this this is what is all right. So the the big tech

14:14 It controls the government, they control most of the congressmen and just see what the actions of the politicians. We know the media's role in this. The media's role is very obvious. They can also not live without big tech. They need the social media flow. It's really what's kept certainly the cable news outfits not just to float, but in combination with Trump has been very, very successful for them the past couple of years. So now big tech Zuckerberg, Dorsey. These guys, these are not the vitriolic a-holes who want to rule the world. These are pitch men. These are douchebags. Who knows what, I would presume a lot of CIA, a lot of CIA money went into these organizations early on. So who knows how corrupt with the revolving door of intelligence agencies and little security firms. And we go back and forth and we do all kinds of

Chris Krebs, CISA, Election Disinformation Accountability

Former CISA Director Chris Krebs appeared on CNN with Don Lemon to discuss holding purveyors of election "nonsense" accountable. Krebs praised the deplatforming of individuals spreading claims about Dominion Voting Systems and noted Sidney Powell's legal challenges. He called for Republican leaders and networks like Newsmax and OAN to denounce objections to the 2020 election results to prevent further unrest.

chris krebs· cisa· dominion voting systems· sidney powell· don lemon

15:13 little deals and for instance Chris Krebs who was fired he was the director of the CISA, the Cyber Infrastructure Security Administration and he was on with Don Lemon which you know that Don Lemon will of course bring you an intellectual conversation and let's talk about how the tech industry is now going to hold people accountable. This genie is out of the bottle now. So what can be done? Even if he gets up there and says that which I highly doubt it I mean, you know, I'd like to be proven wrong approved wrongs, but so what can be done now?

15:53 Well, today I think some of the social media platforms took a good first step in de-platforming the most active purveyors of nonsense and garbage related to election claims, like these Dominion systems that were hacked. And also, Dominion filed a pretty hefty lawsuit today against Sidney Powell. These are all the right steps that we need to take to hold people accountable. But again, those of the senate and the house that fired this up on wednesday they also need to come clean and they need to denounce the objections this is not just a federal issue it's happening at the state halls of the legislatures and elsewhere they need to declare

16:35 denounce these actions. We need the networks or the edge fringe networks like Newsmax and OAN. They need to denounce this and they will also be held accountable for this in courts of law. And ultimately, the president, the president has, if he cares about this country, if he cares about democracy, he will do what's right and he will announce and accept his defeat. And who worked at the it was a Trump hire. How did he get? I'll tell you what here's his reward John his reward is in the interview You know, you're already hearing the folks who have been giving the disinformation some of whom some of you some of who you mentioned there Well, it's you're trying to silence a certain group of people conservatives This is censorship and so on but and I ask you that because your new firm is all about stopping cyber security threats his new

17:36 fifth how long are we going to be done with the consequences of this chris so this specifically it's a great question and frankly i like it uh... steps that can be taken that i just ticked off to ensure that there's no further bloodshed between now and the twentieth what happens over the next two are four years if there is some element of the republican party that clings to uh... nonsense lost cause narrative and look at it you saw the confederate flag

18:18 in the capitol building on wednesday they didn't get there in the eighteen sixties and yet they're there now none of this makes sense we have to put it into it responsible adults responsible elected officials who need to step up this take back their party and stop being intimidated by these voices on the, well I used to say on the periphery but now they're at the heart of it. Take back the party. So I know you don't watch the cable news networks necessarily, but I'm a student of this and I have watched hour after hour of the message being anchored in these viewers' heads that these

Media Narratives, Retrumplicans, Big Lie Terminology

Media outlets are accused of anchoring specific negative labels—such as "insurrectionist" and "racist"—to Trump supporters through repetitive imagery and terminology. CNN's Chris Cuomo introduced the term "Retrumplicans" to describe followers of the president. President-elect Joe Biden and various commentators have adopted "The Big Lie" as a standard phrase to describe challenges to the 2020 election validity.

barry diller· chris cuomo· retrumplicans· the big lie· cnn

19:01 supporters of President Trump are dangerous, they're insurrectionists, they're racist, they're Confederates, and you can just keep on going down the line and it's being anchored with images, still images, that's always the best, throw in a couple of videos. I was watching CNBC and I tried to find this clip, it was I think a Friday afternoon and they had Barry Diller on and I got in right with the point where Barry Diller saying, hey, We don't need an impeachment, 25th Amendment. At the time, he says, the guy's got 12 days left. Let's just, this is calm. Let's get ready for the new administration. And the news model hostess says, but this is not just about what happened at the Capitol. This is about the past four years. Doesn't he have to pay for the past four years?

19:51 Oh yeah. And this is what I said to you, we have a Nazi party now, a Nazi wing amongst the Democratic Party, the leftists, the progressives, whatever you want to call it, and they're looking at people who supported President Trump, who they voted for and went, it doesn't matter, I'm sure a lot of people think it of me. You know, you used to be a Trump apologist, now you're going to be a possible domestic terrorist. And in fact, they have a name, there's a new name that they've figured out, Chris Cuomo from CNN, always a good guy to launch a new term. Part of what we have to do is have leaders call out what's wrong, specifically the culprits. And our new leader, President-elect Biden, did do that today. I think the American public has a real good, clear look at who they are. They're part of the big lie

20:49 The big lie. Trump said that before he ran. If you say it enough, I'm going to convince you. I'll say it enough. The press is bad. The press is bad. The press is bad. The press is bad. If he's the only one saying it, that's one thing. But the acolytes that follow him, like Cruz and others, they are as responsible as he is. There are decent people out there who actually believe these lies because they've heard it again and again. He's right. But there are others. Wait, wait, wait, you stepped on it. I'm sorry. That's okay. Just hold on. But there are others. Retrumplicans. Retrumplicans. Oh, so innovative. You think, huh? No, people are using it. I'm hearing it more and more. Let's go back to Anderson Cooper. Okay, fine. No, I'm just saying it's too stupid. They're using it.

Anderson Cooper, Olive Garden Apology

CNN's Anderson Cooper issued a clarification after disparaging the Olive Garden restaurant chain during his coverage of the Capitol riot. Cooper had suggested rioters would celebrate their actions by eating at the restaurant, leading to a backlash from the advertiser. The incident is highlighted as a rare moment where a news model had to backtrack after insulting a corporate sponsor.

anderson cooper· olive garden· cnn· advertiser apology· capitol riot

21:47 I have other clips where they're using this. Well, they're stupid. Yes, of course they're stupid, but I'm just not denying what I'm seeing in front of my face. Anderson Cooper made a huge mistake. You remember he was just completely unhinged about what happened? We played that clip. Now what mistake did Anderson Cooper make? If you recall the clip, right, where they're going to go back to their motel rooms and they're going to laugh about it, how good they were. You remember that clip? No. Play it. Play it again. Oh, okay. Well, let me find it for you then. Gosh, I thought you would have remembered it. He was the most unhinged on the last show. Well, he's always been unhinged in a lot of clips. Yeah, let me see if I can find this. It's like he's panicky. He's got... I don't know what his problem is. It's weird. You guys can hold it together. You're pro. But he is... He has no problem.

22:45 Holding it together just made a mistake. Anyway, I'll tell you what what he did. He made the seminal mistake of of not, it wasn't a mistake to say these, these, these retrumplicans are going to go back to their, their motel six or whatever he said at the time. And he said, they're going to go have, they're going to have dinner at the Olive Garden and they're going to, you know, celebrate how, how they, you know, helped their president. I can't find the clip offhand. There's too many pooper names in the, in the clip titles, but he made a huge mistake there. a massive mistake which you can never make on commercial television. I should have been more clear with something I said in the immediate moments after the attack, as people who had broken into the Capitol were simply being allowed to leave, it seemed, to just walk away, celebrating, in fact, the criminal act that they had taken part in.

23:31 I was trying to remark about the seeming casualness of the behavior that we were all witnessing at that moment after the attack. The high-fiving, the laughing, the celebratory atmosphere as if they'd actually accomplished something other than just disgraceful mayhem. I said they should be ashamed of what they did, and I believe that. And I was trying to say, and perhaps didn't do a good job of it, that they were just going to go back to their lives that day as though they were patriots. They were going to go back to hotels and have a drink, have some dinner. I named the two hotels that I could think of in the Capitol Hill in that moment, in the mall area, I named the Olive Garden as a restaurant they might eat at. Normal places as if this was just a normal day.

24:07 I was actually thinking of another restaurant in that area with the name Olive in it, but at the moment my brain froze. I couldn't remember the exact name. I said the Olive Garden. It turns out it's in your neighborhoods in Maryland. He disparaged an advertiser. He had to do a make- He had to do a make good for the Olive Garden because they freaked out on him because the Olive Garden, he immediately associated the Olive Garden with anything Trump. Oh, they'll be doing make goods for a while, I think. Free advertising for a year. Yeah, why not? Why not? That's pathetic. Oh man, this is what we live for John. It's going to be sad with what's going to happen economically and epidemiologically with a whole bunch of lielology but it's gonna be fun to see how these people tie themselves in knots trying to protect their own asses while disparaging other people. Eventually the boomerang comes around.

Twitter Employee Pride, Future Armed Protest Warnings

NBC Nightly News reported that Twitter employees expressed pride in the company's decision to ban President Trump. Twitter executives warned of plans for future armed protests proliferating on and off the platform. Legal experts cited in the report noted that as a private company, Twitter's actions do not constitute a First Amendment violation, despite the ban being instigated by internal staff pressure.

25:07 Here's an NBC Nightly News clip about Twitter and the Twitter employees that you were talking about. Twitter specifically warning quote plans for future armed protests have already begun proliferating on and off Twitter including a proposed secondary attack on the wait a minute did Twitter say that? future armed protests have violence Twitter specifically warning quote plans for future armed protests have already begun proliferating on and off Twitter how do they know what people are doing off Twitter?

25:50 Just questioning. That's what you call good reporting. After the ban, the president tried to tweet from other campaign and staff accounts, triggering a game of whack-a-mole with Twitter quickly taking down his post. Oh, there's such heroes on the front line, the Twitter people! Many platforms have banned or restricted the president's accounts, including Facebook and Instagram, where he's blocked indefinitely and for at least the next two weeks. Because Twitter is a private company, experts say the removal of the president for violating their rules is

26:28 not a violation of the First Amendment. The ban, which many argue came too late, was also instigated in part by Twitter staffers pressuring executives to delete the president's account. One employee telling NBC News, a lot of us are so happy and so proud to work for a company that did the right thing. Oh, so proud. Yeah. I remember when conservatives used to try and ban liberals. I mean, it was like movie theaters. We had movie ratings. Then it kind of crossed over. Tipper Gore, I would say, arguably was very conservative with the labeling of music. What comes around goes around. Anything you set in place now is going to eventually come around and hit you right in the face. It's so stupid and short-sighted. And I'm just happy that we can sit back here and

TNT NBA Tip-Off, Political Commentary in Sports

The TNT NBA Tip-Off show featured an unusual segment where an Entertainment Tonight co-host was brought in to deliver a scripted political monologue about the Georgia Senate runoff and the Capitol riot. While regular hosts Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal appeared baffled by the production, the show included radical political clips from players like Draymond Green. The hosts argue that injecting such vitriol into sports entertainment alienates the audience.

29:39 and that eventually spills over. But this is disparaging of all people who just have different thoughts than the news models of the world. And that's the part that is dangerous. This is TNT, tip off. It's a basketball show. Look, I was excited to be here to talk basketball, but the world has dramatically changed in the last 48 hours. Tuesday, all eyes were... You got to notice this. Listen to what happens. I saw this. I saw it in real time. What I love about this is I listened to... I just have a little bit of it, 50 seconds. He pretends like, I just got to say something and cue

30:18 cue the music. They bring in the sappy music. It's completely produced, completely written. Look, I was excited to be here to talk basketball, but the world has dramatically changed in the last 48 hours. Tuesday, all eyes were here on Georgia as history was made. Raphael Warnock became the first African-American to win a Senate race in the state. And John Ossoff, another Democrat, won the state's other Senate seat These were landmark victories that both the NBA and WNBA played a part in, but things quickly shifted Wednesday to Washington, D.C., where supporters of President Trump tried to disrupt the certification of the Electoral College by storming the nation's capital. It was a shocking and brazen attack on our democracy as these domestic terrorists

31:07 security and invaded both the Senate and the House. Five people lost their lives including a US Capitol policeman as the world watched in horror. That's the stuff that is very, very dangerous to be saying and they should be ashamed of themselves. I gotta stop that clip and give you a little background. You don't understand that clip. And I'm not saying you don't understand it. No, I'm all ears. I'm all ears. But on the surface that clip is misleading because This was a very strange show and nobody... This show is normally three basketball players who are going after each other usually in a goofball way with a white guy, Ernie, that's running it. And he's the guy, the man in the middle and it's kind of a comedy show in some funny way.

31:55 And out of the blue, they brought this joker in who is the one, the guy that was, that you played that clip of. That's the guy who is the co-host of Entertainment Tonight. He has absolutely nothing to do with that show. So it's even worse than I thought. Oh, I would agree. It's actually worse than you thought. So they dropped this guy in the show, the three other guys... Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal and I hate to forget the third guy's name, but he's always there. Anyway, they're kind of baffled by this themselves. And at some point, this guy who's there for some reason, I did miss the very, very, very beginning of the show. It's about a four part show. They break it down over the way they play basketball games in the middle.

32:50 And so I don't know their premise at the beginning, but this guy goes over and he goes to the big giant screen to point something out. He's got the Entertainment Tonight logo up there. And at some point he says something and Shaquille O'Neal says, ah, ah, there's this real voice. What? Because he was like what you would call a puker. He's got this phony voice that he uses. Right. And he dropped out of it for a split second. He dropped right back into it. You know unfortunately I didn't notice what the difference was but this was a phony baloney setup and they the three guys the guys the basketball players were more than happy to talk politics and give their opinions and then they made sure to bring the most radical opinion was a was a

33:40 clip from Draymond Green of the Warriors who wasn't there, but they played this clip because he called them. He's the one who used the coup. Oh, no, he's domestic terrorists. They're terrorists. And the whole thing was a set up. This is a TNT management thing. Of course. And this it was really pathetic. I think it hurt the show, to be honest about it. That's that's the the beauty of what's happening. Especially when you do it in that forum where I think people just want to see basketball or hear about basketball or hear what they're joking about. Yeah, I don't want to hear this and I don't want to see this guy. This guy doesn't know jack about basketball. He's a he's a spokes-hole. And in the infamous words of Magic Johnson, Republicans buy Nikes too, you idiots. That's where this is going. Tim Cook

Forbes Magazine, Randall Lane, Corporate Blacklisting Threat

Forbes Chief Content Officer Randall Lane published an op-ed threatening to investigate any company that hires former Trump administration press secretaries, including Sean Spicer and Kayleigh McEnany. Lane asserted that Forbes would treat any corporate communication from these firms as potential disinformation. The piece argues for a "truth reckoning" and repercussions for those who served in the Trump communication office.

forbes· randall lane· sean spicer· kayleigh mcenany· corporate hiring

34:30 Republicans and conservatives and libertarians and also whack job wingnuts Trump apologists like myself, we buy, well we used to buy iPhones. You know this is a, it's really interesting to see How, did you see Forbes magazine? Forbes, a whole op-ed. How any, I should bring it up here. How any company or CEO or officer of an organization, if they help Trump in any way, well, we're going to rip you apart without reporting. We're gonna overturn every single stone until we find out any corruption that's going on in your company.

35:16 And another Pabst Blue Ribbon splits open early in the morning everybody. These are cans of Talking Rain. Talking Rain? Do tell. Talking Rain is the water from Pacific Northwest that the grocery outlet has on sale. So you buy, I'm swearing at you, you buy a giant case of this stuff for $2.95. It's a nice sparkling water, it's tasty. Okay, Forbes, I have to share some of this with you. Holding those who lied for Trump accountable. And this is written by... Forbes, which used to represent the Republican Party.

35:59 Written by Randall Lane, who his byline here, I am chief content officer and editor of Forbes and post on business philanthropy and food. So he's, he has some standing. I just got to read some of this. Yesterday's insurrection was rooted in lies that a fair election was stolen, that a significant defeat was actually a landslide victory, that the world's oldest democracy ingeniously... What? I know! This is Forbes. The world's oldest democracy. Would you like to counter that point, John C. Dvorak? Professor Dvorak? Well how about Greece?

36:37 2000 years ago. How about Greece? Iceland is a longer-lived democracy than we have by hundreds of years. But Forbes, but you'd think they know. Do they have Wikipedia? No. They've, somebody, probably the collective unconscious of the original Forbes knows, but apparently this guy doesn't know. And I said apparently twice. Yeah, it's okay. You could work for Forbes. That the world's oldest democracy ingeniously insulated via autonomous state voting regimens is a rigged system. Such lies upon lies repeatedly repeated frequently and fervently providing the kindling the spark the gasoline. Now let me go down. Oh no it gets so... I keep reading it this is great. Okay. I love reading to you.

37:23 That Donald Trump devolved from commander-in-chief to liar-in-chief didn't surprise Forbes as we chronicled early and often for all his... He was liar-in-chief? Yes. He devolved from commander-in-chief to liar-in-chief. Tell me why you find that... You're a journalist and a writer and a columnist. I want to know the inside humor of that. It's foolish. It's an extremely foolish... This is like a high schooler. It's just ludicrous that anyone would write like this. But he writes about food! Oh, well so do I, but so what? By the way, anyone can write about food. As we've chronicled early and often, for all his billions and Barnum-like abilities, he has been shamelessly exaggerating and prevaricating to our faces. What's prevaricating mean?

38:21 Prevaricating. I know what it means internally, but I can't give you a surface definition right now. Speak or act in an evasive way. Yeah, okay. He's been shamelessly exaggerating and prevaricating to our faces for almost four decades. More astonishing, the number of people willing to lend credence to that obvious mendacity on his behalf. In this time of transition and pain, reinvigorating democracy requires a reckoning, a truth reckoning, starting with the people who... Starting with you, buddy. Starting with the people paid by the people to inform the people. What?

39:04 As someone in the business of facts, it's been especially painful to watch President Trump's press secretaries debase themselves. Yes, as with their political bosses, spins and omissions and exaggerations are part of the game, but ultimately in PR, core credibility is the coin of the realm. Then they go into a whole thing about how Sean Spicer, all disparaging about Sarah Huckabee, And we'll go past all that and get to the payoff. Also, Kaylee McEnany, let me see if there's something fun to say there.

39:42 Her successor, Stephanie Grisham, over the course of a year never held a press conference even though the BS continued unabated across friendly outlets. And finally, Kayleigh McEnany, Harvard Law graduate, a propaganda prodigy at 32 who makes smiling falsehood an art form. All of this magnified by journalists too often followed an old playbook ill-prepared for an Orwellian communication era. As American democracy rebounds, we return to a standard of truth when it comes to how the government communicates with the governed. The easiest way to do that from where I sit is to create repercussions for those who don't follow the civic norms. Trump's lawyers lie gleefully to the press and public, but those lies magically almost never made it into briefs and arguments. Contempt, perjury, and disbarment keep the professional standards high.

40:31 So, what's the parallel in the dark arts of communication? Simple. Don't let the chronic liars cash in on their dishonesty. Press secretaries like Joe Lockhart, Ari Fleischer, and Jay Carney who left the White House with their reputations in various stages of intact made millions taking their skills and credibility to corporate America. Trump's liars don't merit that same golden parachute. Let it be known to the business world. Hire any of Trump's fellow fabulous above, and Forbes will assume that everything your company or firm talks about is a lie. We're going to scrutinize, double-check, investigate with the same skepticism we'd approach a Trump tweet.

41:09 Want to ensure the world's biggest media brand approaches you as a potential funnel of disinformation? Then hire away! This isn't cancel culture, it's societal blight! There's surely a nice living for each of these press secretaries on the true believer circuit. Nor is this politically motivated as Forbes' pro-entrepreneur, pro-growth worldview has generally placed it in the right-of-center camp over the past century. This standard needs to apply to liars from either party. It's just a realization that as Daniel Patrick Moynihan famously said, in a thriving democracy, everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts. Our national reset starts there. Follow me on Twitter. It says follow me on Twitter at the end? Yes. Really? Yes.

Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, Producer Feedback

A discussion regarding the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) notes that the database tracks reactions for all vaccines, not just COVID-19. The hosts issue a correction regarding previously reported numbers and urge producers to verify original sources before submitting information. They emphasize the importance of multi-layered fact-checking to maintain show credibility.

42:11 Now if you want to, my final unhinged rant, although there's other fun things and later topics, is Keith Olbermann. I have a couple of coops on this topic by the way. Yeah sure. But before you do that, this guy should be fired immediately. Huh? He's gonna get a bonus. No, not if Forbes is run by the same people I know it used to be run by. The real owners of that company. They're Republicans, they're not gonna put up with this guy. This guy has just hurt the brand. He has hurt the magazine. He may have killed it. I think, yes, I think that's what he did. You can't make that kind of threat. To your actual customers who advertise, pay to be in it, you know, cozy up, to be a part of it. Oh, I would get, if I was an advertiser, I'd be out of that magazine instantly. Do you want to hear what teachers... Instantly. Do you want to hear what teachers being told to tell their high school students? Do I want to hear it? I think it's important you do.

43:08 Well, I'm gonna have to hear it obviously, but I don't want to hear it. But I'm gonna have to hear it, because you're gonna tell me. And I've received a copy of the original email and a PDF. As an aside... There's a lot of information coming out, a lot of things are happening. The producers of Gitmo Nation are doing a very good job at digging stuff up. You have to go one step further. The vaccine adverse reaction database turns out that wasn't only the COVID vaccine, it was for all vaccines. which doesn't bode well, by the way. So the vaccines that we actually all think are groovier causing 45,000 adverse reactions. We have to do a little better on the fact checking. I can't fact check everything. And if you're disappointed... I'm annoyed by producers who send in half-baked stuff. Really do. Really. Well, and I just don't have a waste of my time that is anything.

CHAPTER 15 / 50 Discussion

National Education Association, Classroom Resources, Racial Rhetoric

The National Education Association (NEA), led by President Becky Pringle, distributed resources to teachers for discussing the Capitol riot with students. The materials include specific "notes" for white and black teachers, emphasizing anti-racism checklists and the removal of President Trump from office. The discussion criticizes the patronizing nature of the guidance and the inclusion of resources like "Woke Kindergarten."

nea· becky pringle· national education association· woke kindergarten· anti-racism

44:04 You have to go back and correct it. I feel like a schmuck. I can't check everything. Some things I will take at face value, and we just have to be better. If you find a cool article, look for the article that it was stolen from. Go down three layers to get to the original. You'd be surprised what you find off on a clip. Okay, so that's just productive feedback. So this is an actual note to a teacher's association. I'm gonna keep it anonymous, but the actual text will be in the show notes. The siege on our nation's capital this week was an affront to American democracy, pure and simple. But for us as educators, it is a moment we must reckon with as we work with students who saw something unimaginable happening in our country, an act of open sedition at the temple of our democracy.

45:01 In that vein, I want to share some helpful resources for talking with students about this week's riot in Washington, D.C. Wednesday's actions were inexcusable, both by the rioters and the president who incited them. And there must be ramifications. Those who participated in the insurrection must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Even this bothers me. You know, so people who were just there, just mulling around, who were half a mile away, but were basically in a crowd. Even with less than two weeks remaining in office, President Trump must be held accountable for his words and actions both in inciting Wednesday's riot, really, and his baseless attacks on the outcomes of a fair election. As such, I am sharing with you a statement released... There's the word baseless against this. Baseless is the key word here. You hear it constantly. But it's not baseless. No. Well, you can't say there's a baseless accusation unless you've proven it one way or the other. No one's done that.

46:03 But also baseless means you have nothing to go on and there's plenty of stuff they've had to go on. Yeah, and everyone uses baseless. Baseless is the most popular word. That should be the next Merriam-Webster word of the year, the way it's been going. Baseless, baseless, baseless. As such... And why do you use the word baseless? You could just leave it out and the sentence makes the exact same sense. You're only using baseless because it's loaded. People who use basics, especially journalists who use baseless are only using it because it's loaded. You can read that exact same sentence without the word baseless and the sentence does not change.

46:44 Even with less than two weeks remaining in office, President Trump must be held accountable for his words and actions both in inciting Wednesday's riots and his attacks on the outcomes of a fair election. It's better with baseless. It sounds that much cooler. What you just read sounds like somebody's got their head on straight. I think the baseless... You took the word baseless out. If you take the word baseless out of all of this, it would actually have more impact. Baseless to me is it's a virtue signaling. I agree. It's a hundred percent virtue signaling. Look, I'm on the same team as you. I'm using the word baseless. And I think it also, it's a virtue signal to say I've read into the material. You know what I mean? Really? It's baseless. Okay. I'm a teacher. As such, I am sharing with you a statement released tonight by the NEA president.

47:44 Is that the National Education Association? Yes. President Becky Pringle of the Chips. Becky. Becky Pringle calling for the president to be removed from office. Oh, Becky has something to say. Oh, Becky. Becky has something. That's a union, by the way. Oh, there you go. Our nation is based on It's not baseless. Our nation is based on a promise that every single person, here we go, black Latino AX, that's cool, Latino slash A slash X, nice, Asian, native, white, regardless of wealth can pursue a better tomorrow. That promise is in jeopardy because President Donald Trump and his allies refuse to accept the will of the people and have endangered Americans and American democracy. How is that? How does A refer to B? This makes no sense what she just said.

48:31 How is anything under threat because Trump's complaining? Because he's a racist and this is... I mean you've seen the whole insurrection go to race-based riots, you know, the be careful black people, the insurrectionists are coming to get you. These people are a menace to society. What clip you got? They are a menace. That's actually the funniest thing you've said for a month. They're a menace to society, these people. It's so simple, it's so obvious. I agree, 100%. They have a link to some resources. I can't even, it's so crazy. It's a menace to society. I just love that.

CHAPTER 16 / 50 Discussion

Woke Kindergarten, Ring Theory of Writing

The NEA's recommended resources include "Woke Kindergarten," a Facebook-based platform providing social justice content for very young children. The hosts analyze the "ring theory" of the NEA's communication, noting how it reiterates political talking points established years ago. They express concern over the politicization of early childhood education.

49:24 To protect our democracy, ensure the safety of our nation. The safety of our nation is at stake. I mean, this is more dangerous than COVID. It bumped COVID off the map. The National Education Association is calling for the immediate removal of Donald Trump from the office of the president. Yesterday wasn't the first heinous and anti-democratic act of violence directed by the current president and his allies, and it won't be the last if he isn't removed from office now. Remember, he's got the new codes! He's gonna go crazy! But our children... Well, you know, this is all... if you haven't noticed, this is almost like people who write stories, there's a thing, there's a ring theory of writing where you start

50:09 pretty much with the exact same thing you end with. And in fact, public speakers are always told to use a ring structure. But this is the ring structure we're witnessing. Everything what you just said is just one of the many elements that we pinpointed four years ago on the Trump rotation. Oh, sure. Everything on the Trump rotation is coming around and it's being repeated, reiterated during this last 10 days. They can't get it out of their system. Hopefully that wraps it. Yeah, anything that keeps actually teaching kids how to do math. No, no, no, there'll be none of that. Notes to black teachers. I hope you have time and space to care for yourselves as you support your students. I hope that you say that on there. Yes, John. I know to black teachers on the resources page. Yes.

51:13 I... yeah, wait for it. I hope that you have... What an insult. I hope that you have white colleagues who are talking about this too, so you don't have to be the only one. I hope that you can find... You poor thing, you poor thing. Exactly! It's the most patronizing... patronizing bullshit. Yes! These people should be ashamed of themselves. They're the racists. Hello? Note to white teachers of white students. It's different notes here. You have, uppercase, to talk about what is happening. This is on us every time and all the time. We cannot pretend to be surprised anymore. We have to do what we said we were going to do all summer when we were reading those anti-racist books and completing those anti-racism checklists. Our white students are not too young to learn about this. Get them started early. You're in kindergarten? You're racist!

52:05 Notes, hey kid, get off that swing you racist piece of crap. Note to white teachers of students of color, especially black students. Oh my goodness, what shade? Please tell me what shade? Is it Kamala Harris black? I'm confused as a teacher of students of color, also known as colored students. These people are racist. Please make sure you know what you're doing before you do it. Please make sure you know how to support your black students and the other students of color if you try to have these conversations. Make sure you do not do more harm by entering into these conversations without careful thought and planning. Ideas slash resources slash links in comments on Facebook will be updated throughout the evening on our educators group. Oh my God, and it's just got, I mean, this is, it's filled with stuff that will,

53:03 It would only make you angry when you hear this. Oh, what is this? For teachers of the youngest learners, this is a great 60-second text from the wonderful Woke Kindergarten. The wonderful Woke Kindergarten. Hold on, this is something that I'm just seeing now. Where'd you get this from? Well, this is in the resources sheet. Hold on a second, let me... Woke Kindergarten? Yeah, it's on Facebag. I would run from that like no tomorrow. Is it a video or is it just oh no, it's a video bring your children to the woke kindergarten hold us a video Let me get this point. You can come back home and rebuke you Mikey woke kindergarten. Can you spot the difference? Okay, that's horrible. All right So I don't know what they're doing over there. But yeah, the woke kindergarten on their Facebook page They have it's a wonderful resource for your kindergartners. Don't you see anyway?

CHAPTER 17 / 50 Discussion

Keith Olbermann, Propaganda Rant, 25th Amendment

Keith Olbermann released a viral video demanding the immediate removal of President Trump via the 25th Amendment, labeling the Capitol riot "Trump's 9/11." Olbermann accused the Capitol Police of being sympathetic to "terrorists" and called for the expulsion of Republican congressmen like Josh Hawley and Matt Gaetz. The hosts compare Olbermann's rhetorical style to historical propaganda techniques.

keith olbermann· 25th amendment· domestic terrorism· propaganda· capitol police

54:04 Yeah, it's it's funny, but on the other hand man. What are we doing? What are we? You know our come on hilarious is not just funny no you want to hear hilarious Keith Olbermann takes the cake I think on the rant and Older man is guts. He's got he's got bipolar some something's wrong with him. He's on the roof of I presume his apartment maybe Olbermann let's get that right what did I say I? I said, I said Olbermann. Okay, well what? I think he's been lost. He's on the roof you said? Yeah. He's on the ledge yelling. He's been removed from some of the consciousness of many.

54:48 I'm not quite sure who he does his videos for, it may be just himself, but it had 90,000 views so I figured it was worth playing. This is Olbermann versus Trump. There's a lot of people that are big fans of his rants. They're actually well-structured. Well enjoy this one then. This is Olbermann versus Trump. Early this morning, Joe Biden's Electoral College victory was finally certified by Congress and thus the United States of America has survived a terrorist attack orchestrated by the President of the United States of America. This was Donald Trump's 9-11. He must be removed from office immediately. The 25th Amendment has been demanded by House Judiciary Democrats, suggested by the Conservative National Association of Manufacturers, and reportedly discussed by Republican leadership and even in the White House itself. The 25th Amendment will do. For now, I'm

55:37 But sadly, this is not merely about one madman. There are Trump's terrorists who went into the Capitol, who threatened state capitals. Only 52 of them were arrested as the Capitol Police, some sympathetic to the terrorists, utterly failed. Says who? The hundreds of others who invaded our Capitol will have to face charges of attempting to overthrow our government. Happily, their own social media feeds will be enough to convict them. However, yesterday, January 6th, 2021, a date which will live in infamy, the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by the forces of Donald Trump. Last night, with blood still figuratively in the halls of the Capitol, 121 Republican congressmen and six Republican senators still voted to give Trump's terrorists exactly what they wanted, overturning the Electoral College vote.

56:28 127 Republicans, all told from Senator Hawley, who just before all the nightmares came true had given a closed-fisted salute to Trump's terrorists, from him to Congressman Gates of Florida, who insisted to the House last night that those who tried to violently overthrow the government of the United States were actually leftists in disguises. Happily, Congresswoman Cori Bush is drawing up a bill of expulsion for all members of Congress who helped to incite the attack on the Capitol. Be of good cheer. All this will end with Joe Biden inaugurated, democracy victorious, the coup disemboweled, and the traitors facing trial.

57:07 And now it will be up to the rest of us to end the careers of those Republican collaborators. Good night and good luck. Thank you. You're such a freedom fighter. You're on the right side of history, Keith. He's like unbelievable. I mean it's a piece of propaganda the way he uses the right words, he puts them in the right place. Yeah. Very well. He's an expert at this. He should have been very comfortable in Nazi Germany working for Goebbels. Goebbels. Yes. Goebbels. And we're going to see companies, just regular old companies,

CHAPTER 19 / 50 Discussion

Declassification Fears, Presidential Pardons, Intelligence Services

Speculation arises that the intense push to remove President Trump in his final days is driven by fear of him declassifying sensitive documents. The hosts question why Trump has not yet pardoned Julian Assange or Edward Snowden, suggesting he may still be under the influence of advisors protecting the intelligence community's interests.

declassification· julian assange· edward snowden· presidential pardons· trump

1:01:35 That's an insurrection, that's a coup, that's what one of the generals, I think Miley, told her. You're asking us to perform a coup against the president? I said, is that what you want? Well, maybe not. But what do you think it is, John? Do you think they're so out of touch that they really believe that they have, that they need to show this? I mean, what can it be? It's either fear, Or it's extreme revenge vitriol. I think there's an element of revenge, but the fear is that he's going to start letting documents out. He's going to start declassifying like a madman. Right. Well, that doesn't mean the documents get out, as we know.

1:02:18 I said this before, I said in the last show, a couple of things that mystify me. Why hasn't he done that already is one of them. The other one is why hasn't he pardoned Assange and Snowden, which would have benefited him in the election by a lot, but he didn't do any of these things. So he's still being controlled by someone telling him, no, don't you can't do that because no, no, no, you don't want to do that. You're gonna get in trouble. What would the downside ever be? Well, I guess for the intelligence services, I guess that would really piss him off. So what? Screw these dicks. Screw these dicks. How much worse can it get?

1:02:55 But he had to... It seems so... It just seems a little unhinged unless you have some real fear that he's going to do something and it's being sold to the public in headline media that he has his hands on the code and he could blow everybody up. I mean, what else could it be? Is there something we're missing? It's just that there's some classified information they don't want out. Yeah. That he may have been threatening him with all along. I don't know. something we were never gonna find out unless he does something. If Trump had any compromise on these jamokes then he would have been more successful. No I don't think he does. I agree in fact the thing about a rigged election is usually doesn't go with the party coming in it's usually the party that's established. Right.

CHAPTER 20 / 50 Discussion

Tucker Carlson, Language Control, Flight Attendants Union

Tucker Carlson argued that the Capitol riot is being used as a pretext to crack down on civil liberties and control language. He noted that the Flight Attendants Union called for participants in the riot to be banned from commercial flights, a move that has already resulted in people being denied boarding. Carlson posits that the "racist" label is being applied to the event to justify future restrictions on Trump supporters.

1:03:44 I want to play the two things which I think are kind of we talked about parlor parlay earlier Mm-hmm. They had the woman that's one of the principles of the company on had her on Tucker show yes, I thought it was interesting yes That was that was talking about why what they're up to and how it's a bad thing and Tucker goes off the deep end with complaining about it I also have a Tucker I thought It's about a 10 minute Tucker editorial, but I clipped it, a couple two minute clips out of it that I thought was one of the best things he's ever done. I saw this and I agree. And Tina and I were sitting there going,

1:04:31 That's actually pretty good. Most of his show is just blah. He rarely has any interesting guests on. You want to play that? I think it's very Andy where he actually wraps it where it's good. You can't listen to the whole thing. And it goes against all rules of the show. Does it? No, just wanted to say it. Oh, you mean, you're getting guys funny. It goes all over. You mean Tucker pontificating about his feelings? Yeah, that's the kind of stuff we typically won't play on the show. Yeah, exactly. Well, this is a violation of our show. But let's play the good Tucker editorial part one. The Trump protests at the Capitol yesterday is already being used as a pretext for an unprecedented crackdown on civil liberties. Just in the last several hours, we have heard people in positions of power and authority demand that those who support Donald Trump should no longer be allowed to publish books or use the internet or fly on airplanes. Driving cars, holding jobs, staying in hotels, those will certainly be next. And we're barely exaggerating. In fact, we're predicting it.

1:05:34 to justify mind-bending, terrifyingly un-American demands like these. They are, as usual, relying on lies and hysteria. What happened yesterday telling us wasn't simply that a political protest got out of hand after the president recklessly encouraged it. That is in fact what happened. But it's not what they're saying. Instead, they're calling it domestic terrorism. CNN describes it as an insurrection. Chuck Schumer likened it to Pearl Harbor. It was really our generation's 9-11. And needs to say it was white supremacy. Today, to name just one small but revealing example, the Berkshire School in Massachusetts, a boarding school that costs $64,000 a year to attend, sent a letter to parents describing what happened yesterday as, quote, these acts of violence and racism. Now, if you're a literal person tied to outdated Western notions of linear thought and fact, that might confuse you. Racism?

1:06:30 Whatever you thought about what happened yesterday, what was racist about it? Well, nothing of course. There was nothing racist about it. The Berkshire School is lying. So is everyone else on the left. Why are they doing that? Simple. They know that if they keep saying it, history will record it as true. They understand, in other words, the power of language and that's why they try to control language. They know that words have consequences. This is scary. In the face of it, the party that should be stepping in to stop it, to push back, to tell the truth in the face of lies and to protect its voters from this deception and the destruction that inevitably comes next, that party does nothing.

1:07:11 Often, in fact, they join in. This afternoon, a group of Republican staffers on Capitol Hill, lawyers who work for Republican elected officials, texted each other and concluded that actually, now that we think about it, yesterday's protest rally really was racist. Yeah, it was racist. Those are the people protecting you. With bodyguards like this, tens of millions of Americans have no chance. They're about to be crushed by the ascendant left. The people say, well, I don't think they should be allowed to fly on airplanes. What country is this? That's actually true. The flight attendants union, they came up with a statement

1:07:49 Our first priority in aviation safety and security is to keep any problems on the ground. Some of the people who traveled on our planes yesterday participated in the insurrection at the Capitol today. Their violent and seditious actions at the Capitol today create further concern about their departure from the DC area. Acts against our democracy, our government, and the freedom we claim as Americans must disqualify these individuals from the freedom of flight. And they did. They left people at the gate. They would not let them board. How would they know? They had trumpets on. Trump hat? Yeah. You got a trump hat on, you get... This is so analogous... You wear a trump hat, you can't fly American. This is so analogous to the Reichstag fire, which happened around an election, although Hitler had already been elected, I think a month before. And it was used as a predicate to go after, in this case, the, in that case, the Communist Party.

CHAPTER 21 / 50 Discussion

Class Warfare, Elite Overproduction, Republican Voter Disconnect

A deeper analysis of the political divide suggests it is rooted in classism rather than just ideology. Tucker Carlson's commentary on "intra-white loathing" highlights the disconnect between the Republican leadership and their working-class voters. The discussion touches on the theory of "elite overproduction," where too many wealthy individuals are competing for limited positions of power, leading to increased societal friction.

tucker carlson· classism· elite overproduction· bill ziff· republican party

1:08:45 Von der Lube and the targets at the time, and many historians believe that was a false flag event, and I happen to agree with that, that it was done to trigger a lot of things that started happening in Nazi Germany. So forget the right-left communist capitalists, this seems very similar on its face. These people are crazy. So let's listen to Hunter, or Tucker, who's Hunter Biden? I don't know why you said that. You got Hunter on the mind.

1:09:23 Biden on the brain. The Biden crime family. Tucker's, I thought he was, when he said that it's language and the historians are going to see this, they're going to make these conclusions. He's not understanding, he's not, he's not understanding how history, historians work. He's also an elitist trust fund baby. Just the opposite would, by the way, just the opposite would be the case. So let's go and he gets actually better as he wraps this thing. These people need a defender. You need a defender. Why is no one defending them? The main problem, and this really is the main problem, on the right anyway, the people who run the Republican Party don't really like their own voters. And they especially don't want the voters that Trump brought. Trump brought the party's ranks noticeably downscale from the country club to the trailer park as they often sneer. And this horrifies them.

1:10:19 Many Republicans in Washington despise the people they're supposed to represent and protect. And by the way, it's not just Republican leaders who feel this way. It's our entire leadership class. It's everyone in charge. You rarely hear it spoken out loud, but this is the truth. A very specific form of intra-white loathing is at the core of the reaction to Donald Trump. Here's what it is. Nothing is more repulsive to socially anxious white professionals than working class people who look like them. Proles are their single greatest fear. They remind them of where they may have come from or where they could be going if things turn south. So if you want to understand the hatred, the real hatred, not just disagreement, but gut level loathing and fear of Trump in say New York or Washington or LA, you've got to understand that first. It's not really Trump. It's his voters. The new money class despises them.

1:11:13 Trump didn't despise him, and that really was his secret in the end. He didn't have much in some ways, but Donald Trump did not judge his own voters. In real life, Trump actually ate McDonald's. That's true, and they knew it was true, and they were very grateful for it. And you'd be grateful for it too if everyone else hated you. Pretty soon, like 13 days from now, these voters, tens of millions of them, will not have Donald Trump to protect them. They won't have anyone. And unless the Republican Party decides to wake up and push back against the lies in progress and acknowledge the purpose of those lies, which is an unprecedented crackdown on the way you live, you will have no chance either.

1:11:56 It's not like we haven't been looking at this happening right in front of our very eyes for quite a while now. It's not even political, John. I think it truly is. As Tucker said there, part of it's just skin color, which is just... that's really like, what? Gosh.

1:12:43 Well, I thought it was one of his better pieces. Tina and I both sat, and you know, Tina has very little patience for any kind of news stuff anymore at all. Sorry? I can see me getting hooked into the, I started listening to it and it was so, I'd like to know who wrote it, because it wasn't Tucker. Probably not. And whoever wrote it did a tremendous job and it would, Tucker may have beefed it up so it was a little more compelling, but it was definitely nailed it. And I've always felt this way since the get-go. When Trump came along, it irked everybody. They wanted Jeb Bush to be the president. It's classist. It's truly the elites versus the regular Joes.

CHAPTER 22 / 50 Discussion

Billionaire Front Men, Elon Musk, Jack Ma

The hosts discuss the role of high-profile billionaires like Elon Musk and Jack Ma, suggesting they often serve as "front men" for government or military interests. Musk's SpaceX and Neuralink projects are characterized as military-adjacent programs. The disappearance of Jack Ma in China is cited as an example of what happens when these figures begin to believe their own publicity and challenge the established order.

elon musk· jack ma· richard branson· spacex· military-industrial complex

1:13:34 I read another analysis where I thought, and this happens in societies, I think this happened in Rome, ancient Rome. We have too many elites. In fact, this has happened many times throughout history. There's too many people who have a million dollars or more. Now it's a billion. Now it's a billion, but there's no room for the elites anymore. So everyone's fighting for that position and they don't want to be kicked off that island down where we podcasters live. Kind of. In a nutshell. I will say this, that the billionaire boom, really, I witnessed the whole thing. Because when I first started working for PC Magazine in 1986, I went, came more from InfoWorld, in 1986, Bill Ziff was a billionaire.

1:14:27 And he was one of the few billionaires in the world. I met this, another billionaire when I was in Taiwan to get around evergreen shipping. He was an old Chinese guy and he was a billionaire. And there was, the number of billionaires at the time was minimal. Bill Gates, I don't even think was a billionaire at the time. There was hardly, Andy, if you did Forbes, people have to go back and look at the old Forbes list. There was a few dozen, maybe a maximum of 20 in the world. Now there's 200. Yeah. Or 300. And pretty much every single one of them. So, I mean, you've met... Weren't we hanging out somewhere and you were with... Is Hearst a billionaire? He's rich though, right? He's not a billionaire. Hearst is a multi-billionaire because of his two things. One, all the Hearsts are part of this trust and they all get a stipend. But his dad, William Randolph Hearst Jr.,

1:15:23 He took his stipend and he also paid himself a salary when his publisher, the man of some of the newspapers. So besides the stipend, unlike some others that only got the stipend, he started investing his money. Will's worth about 10 billion, all inheritance. So I can just recall there was a retreat or something and you were there with Hearst, Bloom was there. Bloom got into some argument with him, which was typical for Bloom. But I remember, I've met billionaires They can be total assholes. It's a lot of them just are that's how they made it in a cutthroat world And yeah, I guess you have to be that way you should be happy there. I've seen them being Somewhat disparaging towards women and has nothing to do with their political party Most of our Democrats yes, yes the only one the only billionaire who I think is

1:16:18 He's really only just a front man for the military-industrial complex. I've met him too, I didn't find him that impressive. And he has some kind of free pass. It's Elon Musk. Elon Musk is building an entire Skylink for the military. Neuralink is literally a military program. I have a whole series of clips for another show that I'm working on. All of this stuff is all military. He's a front guy and he gets to say whatever he wants. There's a lot of front guys out there. You agree with me though, don't you? That I mean SpaceX, it's all military front. He's a pitch guy and he's a very effective one.

1:16:59 He's really good. Horowitz met Jack Ma and he was similarly unimpressed, thinking he was kind of a front man. And even Richard Branson, according to one source of mine... This is the problem. Richard Branson's a total nutjob. He's a total... I was in a meeting with Richard Branson. We were trying to pitch Virgin Air on some Mevio crap. And we found out, first of all, Virgin America, I should say, and even Virgin Air, run by Singapore. Singapore Air runs it. It's just a logo. It's a freaking logo and different uniforms and these guys are all front men. Jack Ma, the problem is he started to smoke his own dope. He's like, watch me now. I'm gonna, I'm gonna. Yeah. And, and then whoops, into the Gulag or wherever he is. He's at the bottom of the, the Wangdi River.

1:17:51 Check ma. Yeah, I don't know where he is. This is not good for Jack, but no they smoke in their own dope Which is a modern way of saying really believing your own publicity is a common trait amongst most of them I'm sure there's one or two of them that we may or may not have known that they're fine with it You know, I think Bill's if was okay and Although he was eccentric as hell, but the rest of them, it seems like a lot of them get full of themselves. They're not really pleasant to be around. Correct. Correct. Most of the really wealthy people I've interacted with, they're weird and they're not always nice to be around at all. No.

CHAPTER 23 / 50 Discussion

Workplace Snitching, Goosehead Insurance Termination

Goosehead Insurance fired its associate general counsel, Paul Davis, after he was identified in social media posts at the Capitol demonstration. Legal analyst Andrew Napolitano noted that employers have wide latitude to fire employees for conduct outside the workplace if it potentially damages the company's reputation. The incident is framed as part of a broader trend of encouraging internal "snitching" within organizations.

goosehead insurance· paul davis· employment law· first amendment· termination

1:18:37 I have a couple clips here. This is the workplace. Employers, this is the clip I wanted to play, employers using video to trap their own employees. Now it's everybody's duty to make sure you don't have any insurrectionists or any domestic terrorists working in your organization. Let's make sure everybody keep an eye out. It could be the person in the cubicle next to you. Wednesday's violence on Capitol Hill alarmed so many Americans. But what if you noticed that one of your employees was caught on camera in the middle of that violence? Should they be fired from their jobs? It's happened.

1:19:16 That's right, I waited for that break. Goosehead Insurance, that's a company based in Texas, says it has fired Paul Davis. He was an associate general counsel at the company. In an email to employees, the insurance company said it was surprised and dismayed to learn that one of his employees had taken part in the demonstrations at the US Capitol. An Instagram account, by the way, identified as Paul Davis, wrote that he was peacefully demonstrating.

1:19:54 But in most states employers have pretty wide latitude to fire employees even for conduct outside the workplace Fox News legal analyst Andrew Napolitano says the law is clear saying quote Employers may lawfully terminate employees for conduct outside the workplace if they can show that the conduct was criminal or that the conduct is likely to damage the product or service that the employer or offers to its customers. And finally, Liz, if you ask, well, what about the First Amendment? Yes, it does protect our right to protest, but it does not provide any protection for employment as we're finding out. The news industry needed some guidance

CHAPTER 24 / 50 Discussion

Media Language Guidance, Neeland Foundation, White Supremacy Labels

A leaked internal memo from a Minneapolis news station provided specific language guidance for reporting on the Capitol breach, instructing staff to avoid the term "protesters" in favor of "rioters" or "insurrectionists." The guidance, sourced from the Neeland Foundation, explicitly tells journalists to avoid "false equivalency" and to link the events to "white supremacist groups" based on flags and chat room discussions.

neeland foundation· journalism· insurrection· white supremacy· media bias

1:20:42 And they got some information probably from the NEA. It's like, how do we talk about these things on television? What words, corridors? John, what words are proper to talk about these? Is it sedition, insurrection, domestic terrorism? Which ones should we be using? Attempted coup. Hello, dot dot dot. This is to the entire new staff of a Minneapolis local station. I am looking at it here. So it's not a phony. Although I've been asked to keep it anonymous since one of our producers is on that list for obvious reasons. Hello, dot dot dot. Some of you had asked about the right language to use to describe what happened and those who perpetrated the breach of the Capitol today.

1:21:25 What started as a lawful protest quickly devolved. Those who breached the Capitol were not protesters, they were rioters, extremists, and angry mob. Please avoid referring to those who breached as protesters, a term we use to often describe people peacefully exercising their right to oppose a particular view or event. I'm sharing something below from the Neeland Foundation, a well-respected resource for journalists. Are you familiar with the Neeland Foundation? Neiman? No, Neeland. K-N-E-E-L-A-N-D. Neeland. No, I'm not. Well, it's a well-respected resource for journalists. What do you know then? You're a phony. You're a fake journalist.

1:22:12 Here it is. Journalists, comma. I know many of you are not only covering the events in Washington but also events in your own cities. Your actions at this moment can help you, your community, come to grips with what it means to be an American. How you doing? What's happening now is the difference between First Amendment rights and insurrection. Before I continue, what exactly do they understand as the definition of insurrection? What do you think? John? I don't know. You asked me what do they think insurrection means? Do they think it truly is a violent uprising against the government? Is that really what they thought it was? I'll continue. I think they're insincere. This is the difference between protests and riots. There is nothing peaceful about this violence. Wow.

1:23:14 Please avoid the false equivalency of balance and describe these events accurately. Words like illegal insurrection and attack by a mob made up of many white supremacist groups. Wow, is that what they want to say? Hold on a second. Please avoid false equivalency of balance and describe these events accurately. Words like illegal insurrection and attack by a mob made up of many white supremacist groups. Is that what they want them to say? Yeah, that's what it sounds like. Well, that's insane. Well, I'll continue. We can tell that based upon many of the flags being flown and by the chat room discussion that led up to it, the way you describe this will tell your viewers whether it's a natural response to disagreement or it's an illegal mob insurrection. Avoid making this sound anything like normal. So that's what you're going to be hearing from your local news.

CHAPTER 25 / 50 Discussion

Rachel Maddow, New World Order Supercut

Rachel Maddow's dismissal of "New World Order" concerns as conspiracy theories is countered by a supercut of world leaders using the exact phrase. Figures including Henry Kissinger, George H.W. Bush, and Joe Biden are heard calling for a "New World Order" in various diplomatic contexts. The segment highlights the disconnect between media rhetoric and documented political speeches.

rachel maddow· new world order· henry kissinger· george h.w. bush· conspiracy theories

1:24:18 That's what the yes, this would be that the editor at the editors end of it to be the top of the guys that tell you what to do you're a writer or a reporter you're sitting there and They tell you to do it this way and that's what you do It's just that simple and it's the news goes out that way and there's people blame the reporter sometimes for some of these inaccuracies Rachel Maddow I Had a where's this thing from her? This was kind of I made a little I made a little super a little mini supercut just to help Rachel Maddow because she doesn't seem to understand the history of what political leaders have said throughout our history in these United States. Well, this week, PPP released the findings of a poll of how

1:25:02 How much Americans believe in conspiracy theories? That's where we got our lizard people numbers from. We also learned that the percentage of Americans who believe that a secret power elite with a globalist agenda is conspiring to eventually rule the world through an authoritarian world government or new world order, that percentage is 28%. And I wonder why, Rachel. The affirmative task we have now is to actually create a new world order because the global order is changing again. We have before us the opportunity to forge for ourselves and for future generations a new world order, a world where the rule of law, not the law of the jungle, governs the conduct of nations.

1:25:51 when we are successful, and we will be. We have a real chance at this new world order, an order in which a credible United Nations can use its peacekeeping role to fulfill the promise and vision of the UN's founders. There's a need for a new world order, but it has different characteristics in different parts of the world. Never before has a new world order had to be assembled from so many different perceptions. or on so global a scale, nor has any previous order had to combine the attributes of the historic balance of power system with global democratic opinion and the exploding technology of the contemporary period. After 1989, President Bush said, and it's a phrase that I often use myself, that we needed a new world order. So in conclusion, ladies and gentlemen, a new world is emerging.

1:26:47 It is a new world order with significantly different and radically new challenges. And the hope that each of us has to build a new world order. And I surely believe India will be a central actor in the new world order. Shut up! For a better life, beyond your freedom, built back better for someone else. Catching on people to the magic of music. We explain exactly what's going down. Well, Rachel is an idiot. Yeah, yeah. I didn't make that up. I think that was actually said by some people.

1:27:41 I can almost identify each one of them. It shows how bad this show is acting on us. Did you like a Kissinger in the world or... You know, I sound exactly like Henry Kissinger. There's a cough syrup. You've mentioned this before, I think. Yeah, it's called Ventolin. If I take a spoon of it, like before, I don't... since my vitamin D therapy, I have really not had a cold for a decade, but If you take like a spoon of this, because you have the cough, you know, and you have to go to bed, you take a spoon of this the night before, you wake up with Kissinger's voice, and it does not go away, and there's nothing you can do about it. I've said it before. You should try it. I want you to do it. I'm always tempted to do it and then do the show. Yeah.

CHAPTER 26 / 50 Discussion

Parler Policy, App Store Removal, Web Browser Alternatives

Amy Peacock, Parler's chief policy advisor, appeared on Tucker Carlson's show to discuss the platform's removal from the Apple and Google app stores. Peacock argued that the companies are engaging in political oppression by holding Parler responsible for user content. The hosts note that many users are unaware they can still access these services via mobile web browsers, bypassing app store restrictions.

parler· amy peacock· tucker carlson· apple· google play

1:28:31 For one thing, everyone would think it was bullcrap because I can't even get to that voice unless I have this, I would be talking like this. I can't even get close to it because I can actually put volume behind it. We need a special donation amount to make this happen. We need to motivate you. This is not happening. This can't be healthy. You have any more cancel clips or something? I'm sure you got something left. Probably. Well, let's listen to our... I got the parlay woman. Yeah. She was on Cutter... Cutter. Cutter. I'm having nothing but trouble saying Cutter. I love it when... I called him Hunter, I called him Cutter. It's because in your brain you know you're not supposed to be playing his clips on the show. You understand, so your brain is revolting against this. It's a seditious act! You mock me by saying something like that, but it's actually possible that's the reason. I'm not mocking you. It's a seditious act. It's an insurrection of the show.

1:29:27 You are a show terrorist. I'm not gonna argue it because it's absolutely possible that my own brain, because I'm the one who bitched the most about these Tuckered clips. It wasn't your idea to ban the clips. No. Okay, so now I want to, before I play these clips, there's two of them, they're called Parlay Publicity 1 and 2. We use the word publicity, I think these are native ads. Oh, that's an interesting point. You think they paid? I doubt they paid for it. This might be a new form of native advertising because to me if I'm watching this show and I'm a Tucker Carlson fan and I'm listening as well I'm getting a Parlor account immediately.

1:30:15 So this is coming from everywhere all of a sudden and we're going to unpack what we know at this hour. But we do know that over the last 24 hours, Twitter specifically has banned a number of different conservative accounts, not just the president. At the same time, the Chinese Communist Party, the Ayatollah of Iran still have their accounts because they're not a threat to the ruling party here. Tonight, a competing social media service, Parler, which we told you about, is seeing massive and unprecedented surge in traffic. The site even experienced server outage because of new users tonight. Why? A couple of reasons. Mostly this, Parler is a free speech alternative to Twitter. They don't censor you, you can say what you want. The president is on Parler and that has drawn a lot of people who realize they are being suppressed by Twitter. Parler's succeeding.

1:31:00 What happens now? Of course, Silicon Valley is trying to kill it. Google has just removed Parler without any warning from its App Store. Apple and Amazon, which provide services that keep services like Parler online, have also threatened to shut Parler down. Amy Peacock is the chief policy advisor at Parler, and she joins us. Amy, thanks so much for coming on. This seemed to come out of nowhere. How big a threat to your company is this? I mean this is very huge because Apple in particular carries our app on the App Store and as far as I know technically there's no other way to deliver it so if they choose to withdraw their services and hosting us on their store

1:31:42 We're toast there and you know most people like our app. Our app is a very nicely functioning piece of software and then in terms of Amazon, Amazon is also The coding is so exquisite of the parlor app. I am just blown away. I think the imagery I think the icon is it just feels good. It feels smooth. I am really a lover of the app And then in terms of Amazon, Amazon is also raising some problems and I'm not sure how serious that is yet because I've yet to speak with them. I will later today. And they provide server for us and if they were to remove their services then we'd be down. As it is, we're having some difficulties now with the uptick in traffic but if they took their service away we'd be gone. What makes me

1:32:32 well, a little bit sad, but also, you know, that's part of why we're here, is that people really no longer understand that you can use Twitter and Facebag and Instapop and Parlay with a web browser. If you say to someone, A lot of people, well why don't you just use the web browser to log in, you have a lot less of the crap in the background or the app that's trying to, even though you love the feel of the app, you can use a web browser and they'll say, what do you mean? I say it's this thing. They say, that's my Google.

1:33:10 The web browser is now synonymous with my Google. That's where I search for stuff. That's not a... I can't get to... Can I get to parlor from that? This is not a good... If you're what you're describing, I think you're right. Yeah. Because I, by the way, I use Twitter on... On a browser I use, I do everything on a browser. I don't have all this crap on my phone and it's a good reason because the phone's in the drawer and it's probably not turned on at any given time during the day. In fact, it doesn't get turned on for weeks at a time. But this beside the point, I think you might be right that people are, they don't get it and they just completely, they're so stupid about, they don't get computers, they don't get taught it. I don't know what it is.

CHAPTER 27 / 50 Discussion

Amazon AWS Termination of Parler Services

Amazon Web Services (AWS) sent a formal notice to Parler suspending its account due to 98 reported examples of posts inciting violence. Amazon claimed Parler lacked an effective moderation process and rejected the platform's plan to use volunteers for content review. The suspension took effect on January 10, 2021, forcing Parler to migrate its data to new infrastructure.

amazon aws· parler· content moderation· terms of service· migration

1:33:54 copy of the email communication from Amazon to Parler which maybe happened during this interview or after it would you like to hear a little bit of it? of their reasoning. Well, let me play part two first. Okay, here we go. Well, I mean, it's just, it's political oppression, period. Now, Google, when we asked why they did this, and they sent a relatively long statement, we're just going to read a snippet of it to you on the air. We're aware of continued posting in the Parler app that seeks to incite ongoing violence in the U.S. It continues. In light of this ongoing and urgent public safety threat, we're suspending the app's listings from the Play Store until it addresses these issues. Okay, so they're accusing you of inciting violence.

1:34:31 They are putting on us the responsibility for every piece of incitement that is posted there. And the nature of an open platform, a free and open town square, is that we do not take action on people until we are aware of a situation. Particularized suspicion. You do not surveil. So something to ask you really quick, how much of the world's kiddie porn goes through Gmail? How many Gmail accounts have been used to order plastic explosives? How many insurrections have been planned on Google? Yeah, the funny thing is, Gmail clearly states they read your email to target you with ads. They could easily, legally flag any of that stuff. But I guess it's nothing because otherwise we would have heard about it. So it's not happening. Gmail is clean.

1:35:24 from the internal, from the back and forth between Amazon and Parler. As we discussed on the phone yesterday and this morning, we remain troubled by the repeated violations of our terms of service. And this is Amazon talking. Over the past several weeks, we've reported 98 examples to Parler of posts that clearly encourage and incite violence. Here are a few examples below from the ones we've sent previously in some images. Recently, we've seen a steady increase in this violent content on your website, all of which violate our terms. It's clear that Parler does not have an effective process to comply with the AWS Terms of Service. Ah, you see, Parler has to adhere to Amazon Web Services Terms of Service.

1:36:08 You should have looked at those, Parler. Sorry, bad business decision. And if you had only called the Curry Dvorak Consulting Group for a small exit fee of $10 million, we would have saved you a hell of a lot of trouble. It also seems that Parler is still trying to determine its position on content moderation. Did you see how crazy this is, what you're hearing now? You remove some violent content when contacted by us or others, but not always with urgency. No, no. Your CEO recently stated publicly that, quote, he doesn't feel responsible for any of this and neither should the platform, end quote. This morning you shared that you have a plan to more proactively moderate violent content, but plan to do so manually with volunteers.

1:36:57 Which is exactly what Facebag and Twitter and everybody does. My daughter works for them doing that. It's our view that this nascent plan to use volunteers to promptly identify and remove dangerous content will not work in light of the rapidly growing number of violent posts. This is further demonstrated by the fact that you still have not taken down much of the content that we've sent you. Given the unfortunate events that transpired this past week in Washington, D.C., this is a serious risk. This type of content will further incite violence. AWS provides technology and services to customers across the political spectrum, and we continue to respect Parler's right to determine for itself what content it will allow on its site.

1:37:36 However, we cannot provide services to a customer that is unable to effectively identify and remove content that encourages or incites violence against others. Because Parler cannot comply with our terms of service and poses a very real risk to public safety, we plan to suspend Parler's account effective Sunday, January 10th at 11.59 PST. We will ensure that all your data is preserved for you to migrate to your own service and will work with you as best we can to help your migration from the AWS trust and safety team, the same people who emailed me. There you go. That is a company that provides bandwidth and computers. Well, this is no good. It's what's happening. It's what's happening. And we'll see some of it. We'll see some of it a little bit. And we have, I'm sure there's something at Amazon Web Services that'll have to be migrated, I'm sure.

1:38:35 But we've been smart about that and we've had lots of smart people to help us with it. Yeah, and they kept us out of these quagmires. Yeah. Yeah. You got anything else? Got any other cool stuff? I think that well, what's this tech 24 is there something there that we need to talk this is a tech the tech report from from France 24 mm-hmm very funny. Oh good.

PBS reported on the arrests of several individuals involved in the Capitol breach, including West Virginia lawmaker Derek Evans and "QAnon Shaman" Jacob Anthony Chansley. Concerns were raised regarding the theft of Nancy Pelosi's laptop and the potential national security implications of compromised hardware. The hosts criticize the reporting for failing to address the underlying grievances of the protesters.

1:39:16 This is the wrap of the riot. There's a wrap of the riot and then a wrap with some details. Just play a wrap of the riot. Calls for President Donald Trump to resign and plans to impeach him a second time continue today for inciting Wednesday's deadly rampage at the Capitol. The president remained at the White House with 11 days remaining until President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration. Mr. Trump is now banned from Twitter, his favorite social media platform. There were more arrests of members of the mob that broke into the Capitol. Among them, Derek Evans, a Republican West Virginia state lawmaker who live-streamed himself unlawfully entering the Capitol building. He was arrested yesterday and resigned today.

1:39:57 Arizona resident Jacob Anthony Chansley, a supporter of the QAnon conspiracy theory, who wore face paint and horns at the Capitol, was arrested today. And Florida authorities announced today they arrested Adam Johnson, who allegedly removed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's lectern and was photographed walking away with it. Yesterday, the Department of Justice charged 13 people with federal crimes and said about 40 others have been charged on lesser charges. Five people died in the attack. Well, now there's some details that I didn't catch anywhere else that's in the second half of this report. Julia Kayyem is a former assistant secretary at the Department of Homeland Security and a professor at the Harvard Kennedy School. She joined me recently to talk about the events of this week and the potential consequences for national security.

1:40:46 Juliet, what are the longer term security implications of what happened the other day? I mean, now we are hearing that Nancy Pelosi's laptop has been stolen. Again, there might be lots of other things that are missing from different members' offices. So the long term consequences are unknown at this stage. And that's why there has to be a thorough review of why were they so ill-prepared for the preparations? What happened in the building? And then what was taken for national security purposes? Or was it just, you know, someone wanted to take her laptop and threw it out, you know, on their way to the airport? We don't know yet. And so the idea that somehow we can have a

1:41:26 an understanding of how bad this was is absurd at this stage. This was a security breach of one of a co-equal branch of government, no different than if they had done it at the White House or at the Supreme Court. And it was not just physically threatening. It was threatening to our national security secrets and to basically continuity of government for some period of time. You know what the sad thing of all this reporting is, especially this report from PBD? is I really didn't hear much conversation about really why people are angry. Why were they there? And I have received report after report, boots on the ground, about the large number of Asian Americans, Asian Americans who are fed up with being marginalized and discriminated against. From Yale University as a good example. We've discussed all of that throughout the past couple of years.

1:42:23 Why? Why are these people angry? It's a lot of people who are angry. No one seems to care. The only thing they can come up with is insurrectionists, domestic terrorists, and if you weren't actually caught, arrested, or caught on camera and are soon to be arrested, you're probably on the way because you're just a crazy nutjob. That is a huge mistake and our public broadcast system is doing a disservice. Unless they did something earlier or later in the show where they talked about this real problem. No, they didn't. Because they're also elitists. They are elitists serving the elites. And it's not just here.

Congressional Fear, Rashida Tlaib, WalkAway Deplatforming

Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib is cited as one of the leaders of the new impeachment articles following the Capitol riot. Simultaneously, Facebook removed the "WalkAway" campaign page, a grassroots movement led by Brandon Straka. Straka reported that his page, which featured testimonials of people leaving the Democratic Party, was banned for being "hateful and threatening."

1:43:07 the yellow vests in France, the farmers in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium. It's all a classist thing. It's everywhere in the world right now and they're clamping down. Do you think possibly that their own analysis... Sorry, I'm just going on. Do you think it possibly their own analysis calling people insurrectionists and coup attempts and all the rest is really a projection of their fears because they are elitist and they know they're, you know, the targets on their back? I think that is incredibly possible. Yeah, I think they are. Well, I understand if you're a Congress critter, if you're, who did I see? Rashad Tlaib, Congresswoman.

1:44:01 She, there was a little bit of video of her in the chamber. She was, the look of fear on her face, I felt bad for her. And I can understand from her position certainly why you may be worried about what was taking place outside the door. She is also one of the people leading the impeachment articles which will be filed tomorrow. So, yes, it's okay when peaceful protesters or angry mobs or whatever, when they're burning down a piece of a city, if it's businesses, but once you start knocking on their door, now it's a real problem. So, yes, I think you are completely correct. They are indeed very scared. And the worst thing is,

1:44:54 They're identifying themselves as such. I don't think anyone's fooled. A lot of people are not fooled by this, but they are fueling something much worse than I think that is out there right now. And the only thing we can do is route around it. We just don't need... I've got more clips from podcasts with luminaries, with interesting people. than mainstream. Mainstream is useless. It's useless as an information source. The mainstream is becoming, if it's not completely useless. I do have one last clip and then we can take a break, I think. And this is just another example, and this hasn't been discussed at all really by any of the other people that have been, they've talked, well, a bunch of people have been taking off these platforms. Well, we don't know that, I didn't know this until I saw it on Fox, WalkAway has been taken off Facebook. Candy O! Joining me now is Brandon Strzok.

1:45:45 founder of the walk away campaign, a grassroots movement dedicated to helping liberals walk away from the Democrat Party. Brandon, after your group was given the boot completely from Facebook, this is the email that you say they sent you. Pages that are hateful, threatening or obscene are not allowed. Continued misuse of Facebook's features could result in the permanent loss of your account. So what was hateful and threatening on your page, Brandon? I guess they found us to be threatening to the success of the Democrat Party. I mean, basically my page, the only content that goes on the walkaway campaign page are testimonials, true stories, videos and written testimonials coming from people all across America and across the world who have had enough of exactly

No Agenda Social, Federated Networks, Troll Room

The hosts promote No Agenda Social as a censorship-resistant, federated social network based on Mastodon. They encourage listeners to use the "Troll Room" at noagendastream.com for live interaction during shows. The decentralized nature of these platforms is presented as the only viable solution for maintaining community discourse in an era of mass deplatforming.

Continued misuse of Facebook's features could result in the permanent loss of your account. So what was hateful and threatening on your page, Brandon? I guess they found us to be threatening to the success of the Democrat Party. I mean, basically my page, the only content that goes on the walkaway campaign page are testimonials, true stories, videos and written testimonials coming from people all across America and across the world who have had enough of exactly

1:46:32 the type of behavior that we've been seeing from social media in the last couple days, not to mention from the liberal media, not to mention from the extremist behaviors of the Democrat Party, pushing more fringe, more left, more socialism, more globalism, more extremity. I mean, this is what they're walking away from. But this is the only content that goes on my page are these testimonials. And notice who they're happy to deplatform. It's, he's white. Brandon is white and he's gay. gay men are the lowest on the LGBTQQIAP plus totem pole. Scum. They are scum. Gay men are really completely discriminated against in the in the communitary and so now it's a double whammy. White gay guy and he's a hairstylist I mean please if he ain't Pierre in France we don't need him.

1:47:25 And with that, I would like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who just put the sea in Cutter-Tulson, John C. Dvorak. Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry. Also in the morning to all ships at sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there. And a big hey, hey, ho, ho, hearty in the morning to the trolls in the troll room. Hands up, trolls. What do we got? $24.91. We're doing well these days, aren't we? Isn't 2491... We've dropped off since Thursday. What do you mean we dropped off since... Thursday was what? How much was it Thursday? I thought it was 23 Thursday. 26. Oh, well it's 2491, that's not bad. No, not bad at all. No, no. Hey, if you want to be a troll... Another big riot to get back up to the big numbers. Yeah, yeah, that's right. We need some insurrection to get the numbers up. That's what it's all about. And that's really what it's all about, isn't it, CNN?

1:48:22 Yeah, so trolls, thank you for being here. The trolls hang out under the bridge and in the troll room sometimes at the same time. And you can join them, there's thousands of them, at noagendastream.com. You're not going to get deplatformed. I mean, I'll kick you out once in a while, but you'll be able to come back in five minutes. It's just a friendly tap. Five block. You can't block in our troll room. I don't think you can. I think you're either in or out. I'm just thinking of No Agenda Social. So the troll room is a live chat if you've never seen it. Go to noagendastream.com. You can listen to all the live shows, quite a number of them and a podcast from Ron Gitmo Nation. It's a 24 hour stream. And you can talk about that or talk about whatever you want. And you can also get an invite right there now more than ever, more important than ever to noagendasocial.com, our federated social network

1:49:12 It's algo free, so the signal to noise is very high. You can have a normal conversation. You can disagree, but no machine is going to spit that back in your face and draw in other people. It also works across in federated instances so you can have other communities, other tribes who have different ideas and different opinions and you can cross over. Oh you don't have to, it's all fine and there's no one going to de-platform you. Once you're on Macedon you can't go any lower. And NoAgendaSocial.com is proud to be at the bottom of that.

Executive Producer Donations, JRE Listeners, Value for Value

A significant influx of donations is attributed to listeners discovering the show via the Joe Rogan Experience (JRE). Sir Ben in the Simulation contributed $1,000, citing interest in the "digital dollar" and the show's financial analysis. The hosts discuss the "Value for Value" model and provide updates on "Podfather Gear" settings for aspiring podcasters.

1:49:48 And then we say in the morning to the artist for the artwork for episode 1310, we titled that one Quiet Riot, which you came up with that, John. It was a perfect title, especially for the Thursday show. Darren O'Neill, with a big FU to me, he went back, changed his bug-eating image and simplified it, and it was acceptable. Then he's got eat bugs with his worm. It's pretty it pops. It's orangey Very happy with it and thank you very much Darren for for bringing us your talent to the show We had we had some discussion about art. We always do I'm trying to think it was very difficult to pick a piece in this in this grouping and yeah Well, let me see. We had a number of things and

1:50:43 So we weren't going to do any of the memes with the Viking guy. We weren't going to use any of that. We also decided against the upside down flag, which is a distress symbol, which I think is appropriate. It's also used by the Azteca Mexican organization that wants to turn the country back to Mexico. Oh really? Yeah, yeah, you see it on a lot of cars. What else did we have? What was there that was really... Something that we liked I can't remember what else we were discussing. Yeah, we're discussing the fact there was nothing except Darren's F you you want simple I gave you simple Conversation we had on the show where you said I was too busy too much stuff. I Love how you do my voice. It's not my Mom and your wife. Yes. I know I'm in fine company

1:51:47 I don't have another voice for this. I don't know what to say. And yes, I'm just going to withhold any further comment. Yes, exactly. No, it was perfectly fine. It was fine, Darren. Thanks. It was really good. So there you have it back in your face. In jest though, the talent that creates artwork for us, and you don't have to be specifically necessarily very talented. You can just have a good idea and it'd be funny. And often that works extremely well. We love our artists. We love giving them feedback, honest feedback, which you probably don't get everywhere.

1:52:25 If you're rejected by your boss, they won't really tell you what they think. So I think we make you better and you make us better at the same time. It is a part of our value for value model which has kept us secure, intact, on the air for running on 14 years now. All we ask is if you get any value from this program, give it back. You can do it with your time, by looking for things, giving information with your talent, such as this. Some people have talent in making clips. And certainly with your treasure. And this is what has kept the show going for all this time. And we really enjoy thanking people who came in with high numbers to support us. And we give them the appropriate titles of an executive producer or associate executive producer. In this case, for episode...

1:53:11 1311 we have episode 1313 coming up ooh that'll be next Sunday Sunday numbers lucky back-to-back beautiful well let's thank a few people start with Ben Jones okay Jones all right he is sir Ben of in the simulation and he came in with $1,000 Well, he's already Sir Ben in the simulation. Oh, okay. But apparently he... well, let me read it. He does have a mention here of being Sir Ben in the simulation. Okay, alright.

1:53:55 I'm not sure why it didn't get on there. In keeping with your theory that listeners tuning in from JRE are generous, here's a grand to start out 2021 the right way. This makes me a knight, in which case I would like to adopt the name Sir Ben in the simulation, see if he's on the list. I will. Because I circled it, put a big arrow. Keep reading, it's good, I'll check it. Adam's comments about the Fed and the digital dollar caught my attention on JRE. What sold me was his mind game surrounding the bomb he dropped on his second appearance. I think it was that he already knew RBG chose to retire from life and Trump would get another Supreme Court nominee.

1:54:44 You knew this in advance, according to him? Apparently. And I said it. The introduction to the show and subsequently John's DH unplugged, which I recommend to any listeners interested in finance, were some of the reasons 2020 was a good year for my family and me. Wow, that's quite an endorsement. Thank you. My white hot, crazy smart wife and I have been listening together since the summer of 2020 when two of the four human resources began de-douching each other. We knew it was time to donate. You've been de-douched. Oh, thank you. As the threshold for the Value for Value exchange had been reached, that was apparently the threshold, thank you for what you do and for the community you founded, we feel at home. In fact, I would like to take on a more active role with my newfound status as a New Agenda Knight by launching my own Value for Value podcast. Okay.

1:55:38 For the corresponding Mastodon server in 2021, I think this will be necessary for my business to survive through the mediocre reset, aka the great reset. Mediocre reset, I like that. I love the audio quality of your show and plan to take up Adam's advice to mirror your settings referenced on his Podfather gear page. At last, the personal settings link all producers a no such key The specified key does not exist, error. Oh, well thank you for letting me know. I shall fix that right after. I'm going to write it down. I shall fix that. The settings will return. Apparently, he continues, all caps, I not only am not the only one with this issue because a comment from two months ago points out the same problem. I'm happy to provide a value for value bitcoin exchange if Adam can fix the links and send them to Ben at Carrot Stick.

1:56:29 Whatever, I'm not gonna put his email up. In closing we would like to request the dog karma that sounds like Elizabeth Warren on the debate stage and the build back better jingle for the roundtable. I request you bring your podcast set up so we can stream the event for all the douchebags. Stay vibrant. Ben, thank you very much and we'll see you at the roundtable indeed and He's on the list. Yep. I'm not sure what happened to the settings, but I shall reupload them and just so you everyone knows it's Podfathergear.com there you can find every piece of my current gear what I use all the settings although seems like they've gone But that's easy to reupload or just export them Thank you very much Ben good to have you and your wife and your dedouche kids around For a better life beyond your freedom Build back better

Dog Ownership Tips, Bonding Anecdote

During a local No Agenda meetup, a professional dog walker shared advice against getting two dogs at the same time. The theory suggests that two new dogs will bond with each other rather than the human owner. The recommendation is to wait one year between acquiring dogs to ensure proper integration into the family hierarchy.

1:57:21 for someone else Thanks for requesting that one so since we're in this dog was mentioned Yes, I would like to talk about dogs for a quick second. You know I was at the the no agenda meetup the 512 local yesterday great group 35 people I counted and I'm sure there were more big thing so people would ask me tell me about the phone you've got tell me about signal and do you have a dog yet? We have launched something horrible well Jay who is a dog walker has a book coming out dogs

1:58:15 She says whatever you do do not get two dogs. She says this is the biggest mistake new dog owners make I Have had dogs in my life before as has my wife. I'm not a new dog owner. I'm just coming I'm just telling you what she said. I'm not gonna talk about your background and dog ownership For the past two years about how I hate him, okay, I But okay, well let me bring that up. I said she's first day I didn't bring the mean to bring this up But the first thing she says to me when I said you're gonna get a couple dogs She says I thought he hates dogs. Oh my god. You have tainted my reputation with this horrible life You are a liar a podcast liar. I'm a liar-in-chief. Mm-hmm

1:59:03 She says that new dog owners and I suppose experienced dog owners make the mistake of getting two dogs at the same time. No, I can see that being a problem. This is the worst thing anyone can do. I agree. I can see that being a problem. She says that the dogs bond with each other and they never bond with the owners. With the humans. Yep. I'll bet that's true. And she says you get one dog and you keep it for one year, then the dog is, you know, part of your group. Or you can kill the dog if you don't like it and get a new one. You could always do that. Or eat it. Yeah. You buy it, this is for everybody out there needs to know this. You buy one dog or you get a dog somehow and you keep him for one year that by then he is like, he knows you're the top dog. He's like, he's part, now he's one of you, he's like your, your henchman. You bring in a second dog a year later and everything goes fine. That was that. That was the big tip. Well, I would say I really appreciate that information. The more you know in the morning.

Producer Donations, Digital Privacy Advice, NextCloud

Producers seeking to move away from Google services are advised to look into NextCloud for self-hosted email, calendar, and file sharing. The hosts acknowledge several high-value donations from producers in Texas, New York, and Massachusetts. One donor noted the presence of armed individuals at the Capitol protest as a potential reason for the lack of police resistance.

2:00:06 I'm informed. You don't know. She had other tips too, but I told her to talk to Tina. Christopher Denon's on the list. 350 bucks from Brooklyn, New York. This is a top heavy list, by the way. I'm sorry I interrupted it. Brooklyn, New York. No, no, no note that I can find. Steve Dacosta in Colleyville, Texas. $333.33. He says, keep up the good work. That third donation since hearing Adam's first visit on JRE. Everybody else had better step up. The JRE people are taking over the show. Might be at knighthood, but I'll figure it out. And the next donation I would have contributed more, but I need to go buy that no agenda phone so I can ditch this Apple iPhone. We all need some free speech karma.

2:00:52 You've got karma. Nancy Nichols in Waco, Texas. 33333. In the morning, please accept this donation that moves me closer to damehood. Once I figure out my dame name, I'll make another donation and join the roundtable. It occurred to me that... I think I met her yesterday. Oh, cool. Yeah. Go ahead. I'm sorry. Although this is my third donation, I never requested a dedouching. Oh, you got it. You've been dedouched. Thank you both and all the producers for continuing to bring us the best podcast in the universe Adam. It was nice meeting you yesterday The local meetup don't forget to contact sir Don to get another to get together for some hanger talk for jingles Please play that's true. She got that right and please give some karma for for all as we navigate these strange and trying times Don

2:01:50 I met Dom when I went to go look at the gyrocopters up north a little bit from Austin. I just drove up because I heard there were some gyrocopters there, walked right into the hangar and hung out for probably two, three hours and they took me on a flight and really super nice, super cool. And so they came to the meetup yesterday. It was really nice to see them. It was quite an event actually. That's true. You've got karma. Thank you. Dean Shattuck in Arlington, Massachusetts, 333 dot 33 no note from him that I could find under his last name or the word donation. And you should mention that. And also sending in a note at seven in the morning the day before on the day of the show asking for some change is not right.

2:02:42 Not a great way to do this. Are you talking about him or someone else? No, I'm talking about someone else in that case. Oh, okay. Also, everything closes at midnight in Pacific time. So just make a note. Dame Valentine of the Bluebird Powder region in Arvada, California, Colorado, 333. For all us producers out there that are not tech savvy and late in the game and switching to alternative online sources, I am seeking your sage advice. Thoughts on proton mail or suggestions for alternative platforms to get away from Google and Gmail? especially for business and Top suggestion for a good firewall. I'm ready to jump in the deep end and take my business along with me So any wise advice is appreciated apologies if this has been discussed before Everything's been discussed before probably credit this donation to my sizzling hot hubby Trevor Massey as he works to her knighthood. I hope

2:03:38 Your bat coins arrived in the mail. Goat karma from, I got mine. Goat karma for my restaurants would be appreciated. Thank you for your courage. Dame Valentine of the blue bird powder. Yes. And I have noted Trevor Massey as being credited with this. Here's a suggestion, something I've been using for a while is called NextCloud and you can install it again on your own little server. There are providers who will give you a NextCloud. It's maybe three bucks a month for 500 gigabytes, I don't know what it is. It's got email, calendar, file sharing, chat, a whole bunch of stuff. You control it as if you install it yourself, then you totally control it. I've been using that mainly for the calendar because it'll accept any type of calendar system regardless of what device you may be using. You can use a web browser. Just another tip from the podfather over here. And we will give you some Goat Karma there.

2:04:35 You've got karma. Noah Hopping, parts unknown, 333, no note. William Grantham in Phoenix, Arizona, also 333, no note from him. Gus Spacho in Syracuse, New York, 333. A lot of 333s today. He writes in. went to the Capitol protest to witness it. I'm not sure, but the reason the police didn't put up much of a fight could have been because so many people in the crowd were surely carrying guns. Surely. And who knows? I wouldn't be. And who knows what else in tactical bags? Not me, of course. I don't think there were that many guns. It's really not. So we see you can't just do that. I think most people obey that. I'm not so sure you're right about that.

Good Boy Coffee, Specialty Coffee Cupping, Boogity Amen

The "Anonymous Roaster of Beans" introduces Good Boy Coffee, a specialty coffee company that donates proceeds to animal welfare. The discussion touches on the "pretentious" nature of coffee cupping and tasting protocols. Several producers request "Boogity Boogity Amen" and "F-Cancer" jingles alongside their donations.

2:10:51 Is that lower Canada? I guess it is. I guess. If you look at the north, that part that I can't name anymore because they've got some new name. Used to be Northwest Territories. 222.22 in Montreal, Quebec. Now that Orange Man is out of the way, Gitmo Nation can expect more big tech crackdowns as the Great Reset Blitzkrieg commences in earnest. How lucky we are to have the Noah Jenna Network of Services. Sir Dave of Lower Canada, one shawarma karma please. Oh, shawarma karma. I forgot we had that. Hold on a second. Shawarma. Oh, wait.

2:11:33 Why am I not seeing this? Is it SCH? I thought it was something else. No, well, I know what it is. A shwarma karma. Geez. I don't know, man. I have to give you a regular one. I have to look for that, okay? Sorry. You've got karma. I'm so sure we had that. Aaron Heath and Lewiston. Wait, I found it. Might as well give it to him while we're here. Here you go. You've got Shawarma. Was worth it. Aaron Heath in Lewiston, South Australia, 211.11 Hi guys, keep up the great work. Starting a new job on Monday. Would love to get some karma. Can we please play the following clips? Boogity, boogity, amen, Atlas shrugged and standard karma. We can do that for you. Boogity, boogity, boogity, amen.

2:12:30 Atlas Truck by Ayn Rand You've got karma. Anonymous follows up from Loma Linda, $210. This is a top heavy list, people. Greetings! Anonymous Roaster of Beans here, hopefully one day to be Sir Roaster of Beans. I have been listening since 2013. I've only made two pitiful donations in that time. Please give me a partial de-douching if possible. You've been de-douched. Give you a full one. A simple outpatient procedure would be best. Two years ago I dipped my toes in the world of specialty coffee. My company is Good Boy Coffee. Website goodboycoffee.com. We donate a portion of proceeds to Best Friends Animal Society, which is where the name comes from.

2:13:24 I'm slowly extricating myself from corporate health care management, aka ripping off patients as much as legally possible. And I try to give back a bit more to the show. If anyone wants to buy some great coffee beans roasted in the People's Republic of Southern California, please use the code Dogs are people too. If you use this code, I will donate 20% of the cart totals back to the show. Nice. Listeners can also use code D-bag to save themselves 10%. Is there a QR code for that? D-bag QR. There you go. Although especially coffee is quickly becoming even more pretentious than wine, complete with tasting notes and tasting protocols.

2:14:10 It's called cupping in the business by the way. Cupping? I've become cupping. Yes, cupping. Interesting. I don't know if it's got a sexual connotation, but that's what it's called. Tell us, cupping. I've been obsessed and I'm incredibly proud of the coffee we are putting out right now. It's truly a different experience and I expect it will be right up your guy's alley. Expect some single origin Ethiopian washed processed beans in the mail. Alright. I look forward to making a new agenda blend someday.

Champagne Aging, Cork Science, Birthday Donations

A detailed lecture on champagne science explains that corks typically only last 15 years before the wine goes flat. The term "RD" (Recently Disgorged) refers to vintage champagnes that were kept in the cellar longer before being corked, extending their shelf life. The hosts provide these tips following a producer's anecdote about a flat bottle of 1996 Dom Perignon.

2:17:15 Von Deason is a huge fan longtime faithful list of your great show our sons Colin and Evan from 11 and 10 and me also Yes guilty sing along with the gitmo nation anthem when mama listens When mama listens and knows a lot of the show jingles as you got karma China's asshole douchebag and dedouche in the morning No agenda formula, etc nice, but The problem is Jenny is still a big douchebag because she did not make a donation up until now before. Wait a minute, what are we saying here? This is your donation. Are we douching her or what are we doing? I don't know. Oh, I see. She wants to surprise her by donating $200 for her birthday which is today.

2:18:03 Ah, birthday. Yes. It'll mean a lot to her. Yeah, I would like to surprise her. Yeah, it'll mean a lot to her when she gets a special celebration yell from Adam as she's really a big fan. Also, a big congratulations to her through the No Agenda Show from Tom, Colin and Evan. We love you, mom! Okay, so this is Jenny. And I'm going to presume she's Dutch. So, Jenny, van harte gefeliciteerd. Hippie poedaa! That's the way we do it in Holland. Yeah, we say he people are three times. You know sitting chairs Dame Jennifer let me just give her Give her a little something. Oh something like that. Just make it feel like she's part of the family. You've got karma Our pal Dame Jennifer in Charleston there she writes in

2:18:56 Hey guys! And then she puts hashtag sorry not sorry. That is really the absolute best episode opener ever. I don't know what she's talking about to be honest about it. I'm not tired of it is my ringtone for NA producers texts. Here's the latest share of the NAA and ANA donations I received lately. That's animated, no agenda to you newbies. That's right. And you can look it up on YouTube. Thank you for keeping me sane as possible during the nuttiest time of my life. I started the year by drinking flat but very fancy champagne and now I'm hoping And I, excuse me, moment just pause, hoping the rest of the year goes from there. John, where's your wine and food show? This would, that would have saved me. She wants super TPP jobs, Karma, please, while the T and the P are still in office.

2:19:45 I may lose its efficacy on January 20th. That's an interesting theory. It is an interesting theory. Hey guys, that was one of our openings a couple shows back and we both said at the same time, hey guys. Oh, hey guys. Okay. People say that's actually a great phone ring thing. Yeah. Good job, you've got karma. Thanks Dame Jennifer. Dame Jennifer always there for us. So I have an anecdote. She called, we, you know, she didn't call, we chatted on the texting. We texted. What? You text? Yeah, because she has this. You don't text with me!

2:20:26 She had this issue with a bottle of champagne. She wanted to know if it was still good, it was gonna be good. And I had to give her a little lecture on champagne corks and people should all know this, the only reason I'm bringing it up. Champagne corks are pretty much designed and can't last more than 15 years. So if you get a bottle of champagne and you say, I'm gonna keep this for my 20th, because you get it at your wedding anniversary and you're gonna keep it for 20 years for your 20th, it's gonna be flat. The champagne, the compression on a champagne cork is so great that it goes, it loses its cellular structure and just dies in the bottle and the champagne fizz shoots out of it very slowly.

2:21:12 It leaks out. You open the champagne with one of these corks and when you pull it, the cork comes right out by the way. Just whoop! Comes right out. When the cork comes right out, you don't have to twist it and fight with it. It comes right out. The champagne is probably going to be flat. Sometimes there'll be a few bubbles left. But that's because you've left the champagne too long. Drink your champagnes about You know, you buy a bottle of champagne, you can have it in about 10 years, you'll be good to go. Now, there is something called an RD champagne. So you say, well, I don't know, a guy had a 1996 champagne the other day, it was great. These RD champagnes are called, and it says RD on there, somewhere on the label. It refers to recently disgorged,

2:21:58 That means the champagne was kept in the racks at the champagne house longer than the rest than the normal say the 96 She had 1996 Dom Perignon, which is a or no is one of the other ones But whatever it was it was too old 96 is one of the great I've had a 96 mo away, which I was phenomenal and 96 is one of the great champagne years. So all of them that you'll have that have the number to have a vintage on them will be good. Okay. But it so what you'll get some say, well, I just had a 96 that was delicious and it wasn't flat. Well, sometimes they'll keep these these great years. They'll keep the 96 and they'll keep it so they don't discourage it and put the cork in for like

2:22:44 10 or 15 years. So 15 years goes by, it becomes the wine's like now it's should have been over the hill but now you'll cork it and it'll be recently discouraged. Usually might have the date when it was bottled. After the discouragement that's important. That would be the year you really want to start your timer with that that would be the year where you can keep it for 10-15 years. Anyway, that's your champagne lecture for today. I pity the 15% of people who skip this segment. That's about what it is. It's only 15%. I pity them. Yeah, there's information in these segments and that's a piece of information that was valuable. And she didn't know this, so she kept this thing. They opened it and it was like flat. And it's gonna be that way most of the time. I had this happen to me. It's really problematic with champagnes that are non-vintage and don't have a date on them. Problematic no less. Hi guys, problematic. What is happening to you? Anyways, let me continue.

2:23:44 you can't figure out when it was bottled. Okay, one last boring champagne thing. The British have this, they believe that a champagne is not really, it should be aged in the bottle for a while, but not to 15 years, at least 10. And so when you pull the cork out, it should still be kind of straight and not really blossom too much, but it will blossom eventually, which means it forms that little, that folds out. You look for the line that goes up the side of the cork just before it gets to the very top.

2:24:20 That's when the Brits think this is perfect champagne and indeed if you find a champagne bottle where the cork is still in there but it comes out pretty easily and it's still bubbly and that little line of wine is up and it's just touching the top of the cork, you got a top of the mushroom part of the cork, not that part, just underneath. You got a good bottle of champagne. Anyway, I'm sorry, I'm sorry I did that. I'm sorry I did that. Goal sneaking, Glenning Valley, New South Wales, 200. Death to tyrants. No jingles, no karma. I don't know what that means, but we'll keep it at what it is. I'll tell you that she needs to be bumped up, or he. I'm not sure. Because... $200 American is $300 Australian. Is that the number now? That's crazy. Seriously.

Asymptomatic Spread, Hospital Capacity, Mobile Mortuaries

New data suggests that 59% of COVID cases are spread by asymptomatic or "pre-symptomatic" individuals, leading to calls for continued restrictions. Despite reports of hospitals being at "zero capacity" in Los Angeles, the hosts question why emergency facilities like the Javits Center and hospital ships remain unused. They compare current "mobile mortuary" headlines to similar reports during the 2018-2019 flu seasons.

2:32:26 The Guardian, around 2008-2009. Yes. Children in the UK will never know what snow looks and feels like, only in snow globes. That's what they said. That's what they told us. It seems like they're full of shit. Yes. Let's do some COVIDs. Wanna do some COVID? I got a couple COVID. I got some COVID. Let's start over. I got a good one to start with because I don't have a lot to back anything. You're gonna have better stuff. Maybe. You're the COVID man. But I do have this COVID variant bullshit. Yeah, and well actually

2:33:08 Yeah, let's play your clips because I've got one or two of those as well. But this is very interesting because we have the CDC reiterating over and over the variant is not in the United States. The New York Times this morning blaming Deborah Birx for launching this fake news, this false information that the variant is in the United States. I want to understand what is going on here. Every state has a different story. They're all claiming the variant is there. Cuomo in New York, it's here. Why is the CDC not just pushing back but throwing Birx under the bus even though she had pretty much hung herself on her own scarf with that Thanksgiving bull crap?

2:33:59 Or maybe it's just, maybe it's to really get rid of her. I don't know. I do not understand why this is... She's already gotten rid of so that's, I don't think that could be it. But the New York Times on behalf of the CDC is blaming her for launching this fake information but no one seems to be heeding it. They continue to speak as if it's true. So here's a breakdown of it. What's it called? Oh, the COVID variant. I got it. How much more infectious is this mutation than the first variety that we encountered?

2:34:35 Not enough data for us to tell how much it is, but what we have heard from our colleagues in the UK, it's about 70% more. And we know right now that that's what's going on. Wow. That's a lot more infectious. So far as I understand it, and you hinted at this, there haven't been tracing back to the UK by these cases that we've seen. Does that mean that the kind of mutations we've seen here were not imported but they developed organically in the United States. It's very hard to tell, but it could have been imported and circulating here. And this person got it from somebody who has been to the UK or somebody who came was in contact with somebody who has been in the UK. Viruses, as I said, they do mutate. And in the United States, we need to do better genomic surveillance to know what kind of viruses are circulating here at home. Yeah, I'm baffled by this. CDC

2:35:33 on one hand reports 22 California cases of coronavirus first variant, Cuomo warns COVID variant discovered could shut down hospitals in New York. In Orlando, another story, I have, well Denver we knew about two more cases of more contagious COVID-19 variant confirmed and yet CDC, no. New York Times, no. It's just not true. So I don't know what is happening. I do. I do. Okay. especially since you mentioned it's the New York Times. They're pulling this thing back. They're pulling the whole thing back. They're pulling back for Biden, get the economy back going. They gotta do something and they're just gonna be all bullshit from here on out. Well, that's possible. And you got people that just aren't, you know, they're not read in. I mean, you got Cuomo's off the rails. This guy just says whatever he wants. Once they get read in at all, these numbers will start dropping like a rock.

2:36:34 But don't, but okay, I mean you would think that they would be using this to accelerate vaccinations to get past some of the hesitancy which probably, the whole thing is weird because you know the vaccine is not rolling out fast enough, everybody's saying it. Do you think they're really holding all this back and rolling it back so they can make Joe look like a superhero? I don't think that the pharmaceutical industry gives a crap about him. They know Kamala is the real president. They want to make money. They've got vaccine promotion websites in every community.

2:37:12 You know, just because the COVID variant is killed and everything starts going down, they can still pump vaccines out saying, you know, it's only a good close and oh my God, the numbers are going down thanks to the vaccine. We got to get more people vaccinated. It's just I don't see this being anything other than a scam. So do you think that Joe comes in and we're released, we're free to go? Yeah. Want to Redbook that? It'll drop like a rock once chosen. Here is the latest confusing bit of information. We've seen the studies, we were told again by the CDC that the asymptomatic spread seems to have been a little bit exaggerated if not completely untrue. Now we have ABC with this.

2:38:01 Doctors are warning Americans about new challenges when it comes to slowing the spread of the virus. New data suggests 59% of COVID cases are likely spread by people who are asymptomatic. Earlier I spoke to Dr. Alok Patel about why this is so important. And one of the biggest take-homes is that those temperature checks and those symptom screening measures are not enough. If the pandemic is really being pushed on by people who are asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic, then you need every single protective measure in place. And Dr. Patel says until most of the population is vaccinated, people should assume any new contact is a potential exposure to the virus. Hey, I have a real problem with this report. Listen to what this jamoke says here. Why this is so important. Place. Symptomatic or pre-symptomatic? Pushed on by people who are asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic? We're all pre-symptomatic. The hell is that? We're all pre-cancerous. We're all pre-dead.

2:38:58 Asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic? Sorry, I fall over that stuff. It's like the jobs thing, you know, saved or created. Then we have... Saved or created. Then we have CBS throwing some stuff on top. We still have to be... Pre-symptomatic. Yeah. I mean, give me a break. We all have to be very, very, very, very... You're pre-dead, by the way. Yeah, just what I just said. We have to be very worried about the hospitals and I do not understand if we have the hospitals running out of room, can we not turn the two ships back out? The hospital ships. Can we not rebuild the Javits Center in New York? We had emergency hospitals all over the country, including Colorado. We had the ship. We had emergency hospitals, big ones, ready.

2:39:55 As far as I know, largely unused. Nevada, huge hospital, we spoke to the people ourselves at the meetup, unused. And so, oh, we have no beds, we have no beds. Well, that's not working, we're not believing it. We got a new one. The number of people who received their first vaccination doubled this week, 6 million as of Friday. A number though that pales in comparison to the number of people sick and suffering. Ophelia Reynoso says she was so careful she never expected to be gasping for breath, laboring each word. Yet she's lucky. Hospital beds are in short supply in Los Angeles where she's being treated. I thought they were out of beds. What's this short supply? It was it's we're out of capacity. We're going to send people. Don't even pick let them die at home.

2:40:45 These people who are doing this, these are the insurrectionists. These are the terrorists. This is biopharmaceutical terrorism on American people, on people around the world. And nationally, a record 4,000 deaths were reported on Thursday. It is going to get much worse before it gets better. And that's at Ulster Home, a-hole. Mobile mortuaries have already set up outside hospitals in Los Angeles, where a person dies every eight minutes. Even as military teams are now helping some overwhelmed hospitals, LA's mayor is concerned that care will have to be rationed.

2:41:23 a doctor or a nurse, if you can spare anything, please send it here. We're Americans. California is one of at least eight states where the highly contagious variant of the virus has been detected. But the makers of the vaccines, Pfizer and Moderna, report they're confident their vaccines will also protect against the new strain. So now they're coming up with oh my gosh, we have mobile morgues. Yes that happened in 2018 2019 We read the on the show you put in the newsletter I thought was good to do that the the Guardian headlines from 2012 through 2019 when it came to the flu these exact same headlines mobile morgues out of hospital beds overflowing now this is the same story as every year and

COVID-19 Variants, CDC vs. Deborah Birx, Vaccination Scams

Conflicting reports emerge regarding the presence of the UK COVID-19 variant in the United States, with the New York Times blaming Deborah Birx for spreading "fake news" about its spread. The hosts speculate that the media may be downplaying the variant to make the incoming Biden administration's response look more successful. They characterize the ongoing vaccination push as a potential scam to maintain pharmaceutical profits.

2:37:12 You know, just because the COVID variant is killed and everything starts going down, they can still pump vaccines out saying, you know, it's only a good close and oh my God, the numbers are going down thanks to the vaccine. We got to get more people vaccinated. It's just I don't see this being anything other than a scam. So do you think that Joe comes in and we're released, we're free to go? Yeah. Want to Redbook that? It'll drop like a rock once chosen. Here is the latest confusing bit of information. We've seen the studies, we were told again by the CDC that the asymptomatic spread seems to have been a little bit exaggerated if not completely untrue. Now we have ABC with this.

Queensland Lockdown, Vitamin D, UK Strain

Queensland Premier Anastasia Palaszczuk announced a three-day lockdown for Greater Brisbane due to a single case of the UK COVID strain. The hosts express sympathy for Australians facing renewed restrictions and reiterate the importance of Vitamin D3 in maintaining immune health. They argue that the virus cannot be stopped through lockdowns and masking alone.

2:42:11 And I'm sorry to say Australia, you all thought that it was all, you were all out and all cool and I said no, you're just a few months behind, you have no idea. Prepare because they are going to lock your crap down again. Today... This is the Queensland Premier, Anastasia Palacuk. We are going to be making a very significant announcement and we are doing this to keep Queenslanders safe. We know that this UK strain is highly infectious. It is 70% more infectious

2:43:00 and we are going to go hard and we are going to go early to do everything we can to stop the spread of this virus. It is incredibly contagious. I have been briefed extensively by Dr Young. I have accepted Dr Young's strong recommendations and will be taking the following actions. Greater Brisbane will be entering a three-day lockdown from 6 p.m. tonight Friday to 6 p.m. Monday. All residents living in those areas

2:43:37 will be required to stay at home. Think of it as a long weekend at home. If we do not do this now, it could end up being a 30-day lockdown. Okay, so you're going to be blamed that you did it wrong, that you suck, you did it wrong, it will be 30 days. It was, I got a little emotional this morning, I've been emailing with Sir Chris, He says it's starting to affect him now. I mean, there's a lot of things going on. We've seen it all And I feel bad for our brothers and sisters down under because they were told that you know They could do it and I think collectively most Australians believed that there really was a mistake from the Security company that had the people locked up in the in the corona virus hotel when they were having sex with them No, you can't stop this virus

2:44:32 Whatever it is. You can't stop it. You know, I get emails from people. I've been home I've been anywhere always masked up plastic bag over my head. I got it. Yes You you you cannot fight this that way you are being hoodwinked you're being hoodwinked either get it or you don't I am Astounded this has not affected me. I or my wife. I'm astounded, I really am. It's like, what are we doing? What are we doing that we're not getting this? She's in contact- Taking vitamin D, that's all it takes? She's in contact with people every single day. I haven't got it. I mean, I may have had it, but it would be something I didn't even notice, like a bump in the road or something. You may have had it. I think it's, I would have to agree. It's the D3. It'd be a bump in the road? Little bit of a, little bit of a- You had the sniffles once and the swollen eyeball?

2:45:23 I did have the swollen eyeball. It was my favorite version. But you know, then again, it's just like something... None of it surprises me. The people that are most freaked out, they're... This is the... The reason why there's a new variant in Denver was almost reported correctly. Another 1,700 people received the virus today, or the vaccine for the virus today in Colorado. Oh man, they'll never, never, never get it right, will they? So let's talk about this dosing of the vaccine. The what? The dosage, where now we're supposed to get... Oh yeah, now you can just be in the same room with the vaccine, you'll be good. Well, the idea now is to give everybody the first shot in the arm, get the vaccine in the arm,

Vaccine Dosing Strategy, Side Effects, Mandatory Vaccination

The Biden transition team proposed releasing all available vaccine doses immediately, contrary to initial plans to hold back second doses. Reports from healthcare workers suggest that the second mRNA shot can cause significant side effects, including chills and nausea. Concerns are raised that European countries may soon make vaccination mandatory for travel and employment.

operation warp speed· joe biden· vaccine side effects· mrna· mandatory vaccination

2:46:18 and not hold the quantities for people's second shots just to let them have as many people get the initial vaccine as possible is counter to everything we were told on the rollout of this vaccine. Everything. It's counter to the whole mission. And I have to say that it's really fun to watch this whole thing because It's as if they're trying to control everything and they're trying, it's like an orchestra leader with a bunch of people that are completely out of control. This happens, one country goes, you know what we're gonna do? They're making enough of this stuff, let's just give what we got to everybody instead of stockpiling the other stuff for the second dose, we'll just give it to everybody. Wait, that's not what we want. And it's just that everything that's going on is all out of control. You can make two doses from this, well maybe three.

2:47:08 I mean it's unbelievable how nobody's paying attention to the rulers. dissent amongst the leadership even. With under 7 million vaccine doses doled out in the US tonight, or about 2% of the total population, President-elect Joe Biden's team has announced plans to turn Operation Warp Speed into Turbo Drive. Biden supports releasing available doses immediately and believes the government should stop holding back vaccine supply so he can get more shots in Americans' arms now. A strategy Dr. Anthony Fauci warned against last week after Britain announced it would delay second doses for up to 12 weeks. We want to do it according to the science. The idea about stretching it out so you can give more people, that's if you have

2:47:57 Not enough vaccine and you have a lot of people lined up waiting to get a vaccine That's not our problem now Biden's transition team says by using the Defense Production Act to supercharge supply There shouldn't be a lag between shots one and two. So what is our problem? What is our problem? Why are they? rushing to even You know, just why are they rushing? Why are they rushing to get a Go against science, as Fauci just said. They're not following the science. It's Joe Biden's idea. Maybe it has something to do with this from one of our producers, who I'll keep anonymous because it's about his wife. I wanted to give you a boots on the ground report about the second vaccine shot. It is a doozy. My wife is an ICU doctor and just got her second Pfizer shot today. She's having chills, nausea, full body aches and diarrhea.

2:48:52 Her other physician friends are having the same experience the second shot when the first shot was just a sore shoulder. It's not so groovy. Maybe they don't want too many news articles about people pooping out dot com. Well, I don't think that's any reason to just shoot everybody up with the as much as you can. Now, this brings up two points or one point in particular. If the if the second is the second shot different. No, it should be the same. Well, if it's the same, then why would you have these different reactions, these horrible reactions? Well, this is the same. Yeah, you can dole it out. But if it's a different shot, which seems to me, but why they're so panicky about this, well, this brings a different shot. This is something different. This brings us back to this brings us back. You can't just give it to everybody. This brings us back to animal trials.

2:49:47 and other vaccines that have produced great antibodies, but then when people encountered a wild version of the virus, they died. They got really sick and died very quickly. And this happened with children, with some, I think it was Gates Foundation vaccine trials in the Philippines. Well documented, people are going to go to jail over that. It could be that. But it's also, it's not a typical vaccine. We really don't have enough, we can never have enough data on this particular mRNA vaccination technique. Other than we were promised it would be super painful. And we got that part down, but if they had mentioned you have to poop all day, like, I'm hearing really bad diarrhea, which is also dangerous. You can die from horrible diarrhea. You can die from that.

2:50:45 Now, is it... I'm just... I don't know that the theorists are out there talking about this, but you got the mRNA vaccine, the first one that's supposed to develop all these spike proteins. And it floats around your body, supposed to say, I don't like this. You get a second shot of the fresh... Let's just say it's the same. I'm going to have to make that argument. Yeah, it should be. You get a second dose of this and so I said, wait a minute, maybe the body just... this doesn't sound like a good idea. I think... and I hate to be one out there, so don't do it. But I'm not gonna take this thing, it just doesn't sound right to me. I was talking to Christina, who I've now not seen in 14 months.

2:51:31 And, you know, they're locked down until January 19th. It appears they will have an extended... And this lockdown lockdown, like Australia lockdown, go out to exercise by yourself, go out to food or to medical services, lockdown, lockdown, you're done. Yeah, and it'll probably be extended through the end of February. That's the rumor and My daughter who was very level-headed and really understand she's you know, she's my daughter. She's a daddy I'm afraid I'm gonna have to take this otherwise It won't be able to go anywhere and may not be able to do certain types of work They're going to it looks like they're gonna force that and I can see that happening in Europe easily much easier than here. I

State Farm Stadium Vaccination Site, Masking in Vehicles

Arizona is converting State Farm Stadium into a 24/7 mass vaccination site to accelerate the rollout. Meanwhile, Queensland Health issued guidance stating that masks must be worn inside private vehicles. The hosts criticize these measures as performative and highlight instances in the UK where police arrested citizens for sitting on park benches.

state farm stadium· arizona· vaccination site· masks· queensland health

2:52:14 but we're just not getting fly here. No, they are ramping up though. State health leaders say close to 114,000 vaccines have been administered in Arizona. The vaccination plan in Maricopa County will start moving to the next phase on Monday. This will include teachers, essential workers and adults over 75 years old. And just into our newsroom, we have learned that starting Monday, State Farm Stadium will be used as a massive 24-7 vaccination site. This might work. You know, the idea of you got a really long line for the vaccine. People will say, oh, I got to stand in that line. There's a velvet rope in front of that kid club. Let's go stand in the line. I think if you have a huge stadium with throngs of people, I think that may motivate people to go. That's possibly a good idea. We'll have to see. It'll be very obvious as it doesn't work. That's for sure.

2:53:11 little drone shot of no one showing up. They won't do that. No one's gonna do that. No one's gonna show that drone shot of nobody showing up. If they have to get shills in there just to stand in line, they're gonna do that and take the drone shot of that and then put that on the news. Okay. As an aside, in the Queensland Health Has they think this was this on Facebook someone sent a screenshot? We've been getting this question a lot. The answer is yes, you must wear a mask in your vehicle What? Yeah

2:53:49 Do I need to wear a mask in my vehicle? The answer is yes. Man, there's videos in the UK, I think up north, people out there sitting on a bench overlooking the North Sea. It's typical British kind of rainy, wet, gray weather. There's maybe 10 people. And 15 cops show up and start arresting these people for violating the stay at home rule. It's insane. And my British friends are, you know, boy, it's a real mess over there with Trump. So yeah, how's your prison, bitch? God, yeah, that's yeah, I think that's the right answer to these people. Yeah, Trump. So pay attention in case you didn't notice it. Bojo's building back better right in front of your face. Enjoy that. My goodness, build back

Election Fraud Claims, Vatican Blackout Rumors, Pakistan Power Outage

A massive power outage in Pakistan was leveraged by online theorists to spread rumors of a "Vatican blackout" and the arrest of the Pope. The hosts debunk the Vatican rumors, noting the videos used were from 2015. They also touch on ongoing claims from Lin Wood and Sidney Powell regarding election interference involving Italy and China.

2:54:49 All right, what else do you got? You got any more COVIDs? I got no more COVID. No more COVIDs? No, it was short on COVID. I only had the one clip because it was the one that had this discussion point that's going around which, wait a minute, these things, this variance cropping up in different places around the world simultaneously, that's not, it's not really, if you took biology, this is not the way It works right no it's not genetic mutations aren't parallel I mean unless I guess you can use the quantum theory of things and maybe kind of indicate that no no not gonna happen I'll give you a little crackin update just verbal

2:55:29 Do I have any crack in stuff? No, I don't. I gave up on that. Well, here are the things that are possibly expected. One is I'm hearing that the president may do some kind of speech tonight. I don't know where it's going to air. But that's and all of this is just what I've heard. We still have a very major push with affidavits coming out of Italy and proof that this, and this is a lot of Lin Wood stuff, proof that this was all rigged and they have all the trail and they did it all over again for the Georgia election and it went through to China and to Chile and all over the place and there's, I'm sure you can find the video if you haven't of the woman explaining that and the judge from Italy. Along with that-

2:56:20 lieutenant general that is promoting this Ingram that guy it's just very not not not Ingram it says Mac and Mac and any Mac and any Mac and any Mac and any see it's not Ingram I thought it was Ingram he's promoting at the other piece is, and this got interesting yesterday, we've heard for a long time there will be 10 days of darkness to which I say if you turn the internet off or the power off you will kill more people than you have any idea of, so I'm not believing that. Pakistan did have a massive

2:57:00 blackout yesterday, 200 million people without power in the major cities. I don't know if it's back online. That was taken advantage of immediately by people showing a live camera shot, quote-unquote, of the Vatican and the lights going out and headlines popping up, Pope arrested on 80 count indictment for child trafficking fraud. So I texted Willow this morning. I said, Willow, did the Vatican go dark last night? And I won't even ask you the second part of the question. She said, no, I saw it going around the videos from 2015. So you're being duped there. It may be possible that the Pope was arrested on an 80 count indictment of child trafficking, but for sure the Vatican did not go dark last night. That was a video from 2015 that you're seeing. Then we have

Media Errors, Sidney Powell Gender Confusion, Fleetwood Mac Anecdote

A WGN Chicago news reader mistakenly referred to Sidney Powell as a man while reading a prompter. This leads to a personal anecdote about a similar mistake made during an interview with Fleetwood Mac, where the interviewer confused the gender of Lindsey Buckingham. The segment highlights the lack of basic knowledge among "news models."

2:57:53 Sidney Powell and this lawsuit for over a billion dollars by Dominion And just to show you what idiots the news readers are the news models and by the way Thank you again, Neil Jones and stack for doing some excellent clippage for this show. This is WGN in Chicago So Trump's lawyer Sidney Powell spread a meme about the crack and some mythical creature and again another example of you presume Sidney Powell is an intelligent man and and Do these people not even know she's a woman? Holy moly. These people are such morons. This is your news media that we're, you know, this is what, by the way, this is my theme for this year. In this last newsletter, if you want to read a newsletter that has my current theme for newsletters, it's

2:58:53 This. It's this. What, did they just read it? Why are we even... these people's credibility is shot. You can't say that. I've made this mistake myself once. when I was interviewing... Well, you can make the mistake but you can't do it on... No, but I just want to tell you how embarrassing... I make the mistake all the time so maybe I'm too harsh. Oh come on, Sidney, you're in the news business as a news model. Yeah, if you're in the news business you don't think Sidney is a... And he's reading this on the prompter. Yes, of course. These people are, they don't know, can't, Tucker Carlson also, it's all prompter. There's nothing that's not from the prompter. He may write some of that stuff himself. These people don't write it themselves and they're idiots. They're just idiots. I have done this myself. I was interviewing Fleetwood Mac and

2:59:47 This is in the late... So you had a conversation with with that guy Steve Nicks? No, much worse. I said so... Worse? Yeah, worse. I said, so do you think Lindsey Buckingham will ever come back into the into the group or is she done with it? And I remember Mick Fleetwood looking at me and saying, if his penis fell off, maybe. It was horrible. I don't think it's worse, but oh it was for me horrible horrible horrible horrible Okay, well you were that you were one of these if it wasn't for this show you'd be that guy Oh most likely yes most likely

Dominion Voting Systems, Sidney Powell Lawsuit, Media Retractions

The CEO of Dominion Voting Systems discussed the company's $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit against Sidney Powell. Dominion alleges that Powell's claims regarding Venezuelan origins and rigged software are demonstrably false. Media outlets like Newsmax and Fox News have aired legal "clarifications" to avoid being included in the litigation, which the hosts describe as a standard legal tactic to force settlements.

dominion voting systems· sidney powell· newsmax· fox news· defamation lawsuit

3:00:36 No, I wouldn't be that guy. I'm better looking than that guy. Axios, who... I didn't see that guy, so I don't know. News models are all good looking, whether they're male or female. He's a news model. He's a news reader model. Axios is doing interesting reporting. The British guy, I'm not quite sure. what motivates him to do certain stories. But in this case, they got a hold of the CEO of Dominion to talk about the Sidney Powell lawsuit, and I thought it was interesting enough to hear what he had to say. Our focus right now is on Sidney Powell, and there's a very good reason for that. She is by far, in our opinion, the most egregious and prolific purveyor of the falsities against Dominion.

3:01:20 Her statements have caused real damage. They're demonstrably false. In our opinion, it's extremely easy to verify that we were not created in Venezuela. That's just one of the many of the crazy allegations made against us. We were originally quiet and we sat back as a company because our hope was that all of these claims would be filed in a process in court where procedure and evidence is important. And it's become clear to us that there is absolutely no interest to reveal this evidence because we know it doesn't exist.

3:02:00 And there's no effort to actually put it in front of a court proceeding so that these allegations and all of the evidence can follow a proper process and be litigated right to the end. And because of that, that's why we're filing. I'm very interested in this suit. There will be discovery, which is really what's interesting. The 127-page complaint is in the show notes if you're looking for it. Here's one more short clip from him. Why not also file against, for example, Fox News, OAN, Newsmax? I know they all publish. No, it's because they all... Remember that? Remember when they were all going like... They were reading almost legal statements on the air to protect their ass, especially Newsmax and One America News.

3:02:43 That's why they got the memo and they went... They're already out. And the way the law is written, if you're a news organization, you make an error and you quickly correct the error, usually it's in the New York Times, they do it all the time, they put those corrections in the back pages, but they're still there. You're good to go. How come they haven't sued the Money Honey? The Money Honey was all over this. Maria Bartiromo here's I think the Fox came out with a blanket statement covered her ass. Here's Newsmax with that pussy ass since election day various guests attorneys and elected officials have appeared on Newsmax and offered opinions and claims about smartmatic and

3:03:22 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. You get the idea. So they got their legal statement or aired rather that little kind of two minute fact check. But why not file against them as well? Well, let me be clear. The damage has been done. And what news man, what news person, ask someone, why aren't you suing my competitors?

3:03:59 Is it just me or is that okay? Is that normal? Because Sidney Powell is not a television network. Sidney Powell is not a cable news channel. I think the question was fair. But why not file against them as well? Well, let me be clear. The damage has been done. And in some cases, some media outlets are continuing to promote this damaging type of false narrative. I also want to be clear that we're looking at everybody, that not just every actor that has made these types of false allegations about us and also the news media outlets that have allowed these allegations to be amplified, unfettered and unchecked. And we've got a pretty substantial legal team looking at that. And as I said, our priority is Sidney Powell, but the legal team is going to be thorough and exhaustive.

3:04:56 You know how this works. We've talked about this mechanism before. You go after a big target and you get to the point where she settles out of court for any amount, it could be 10 bucks. Then you should 10 build, okay. Then you start going after the other ones and they all fall in line. It's just an old trick. Silicon Valley used to do this all the time. You get one person with licensing, you get one, especially IBM, you get one person to sign on to your bogus patent. And the next thing you know, everybody has to pay their 40 grand or whatever it is. And you accumulate a lot of money this way. So Sidney Powell thing is going to be settled. Out of court. Out of court. Okay. With the Mount Unknown. You heard it here, ladies and gentlemen. It's in the Red Book. I'm going to show my school by donating to No Agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fab. On No Agenda.

3:05:57 I'd like to of course unless she fights it and wins. Yes, I'd like to start off at the meetup yesterday. Thank you very much Baron Scott who has, who is of the armory where he wants a different name, but he organizes these 5-1-12, 5-12 local meetups extremely well. We did it in Doc's backyard, who love us. It's one of the few, I guess. We had three or four tables, 35, 40 people. Mia was our server and she was all on board. She was hitting people in the mouth of the other tables, telling them to come over and join us.

3:06:39 It was young and old from all over. We had some folks from Indiana, drive down from Indiana. Okay, granted on his way to his brother in San Antonio and his mom. And there were young people, many I would say in the mid to late twenties, which would be called millennials who feel very proud that they're not woke and broke. Some good- Woke and broke, ooh. We had Trinidad who came up from, who used to be in South Texas, the best dressed No Agenda producer at the meetup. Trinidad? His name is Trinidad, yeah. Gordon, what did I say? What's it? Woke and broke? What did I call it? Woke and broke. Yeah, that's not bad.

3:07:27 It was really nice. I had a very good time. Unfortunately, Tina was working so she couldn't join us and she was missed. The way Scott and his wife run everything, they have a deducing station with a QR code. I have no idea how it works but you saw some people donate earlier in the executive and associate executive producer category. So Menno Demento did give me one envelope with $100, no agendization, and he says he wants bulldog karma. I'll give you that at the end for relationship my 70 year old friend. Oh, it's also relationship karma.

3:08:11 And it's a donation for a 70-year-old friend with COVID, so we'll give some health karma as well. And thank you very much, Menno, and thank you all at the meetup who supported the show, however you did it, and I'm sure it shows up in some of these donations as well. It was a great time, really.

Kamala Harris, Freedom Anecdote, Plagiarism Allegations

Vice President-elect Kamala Harris is accused of plagiarizing an anecdote about a toddler demanding "freedom" from a 1965 interview with Martin Luther King Jr. Harris told the story to Elle magazine, claiming it happened to her in a stroller. The hosts play a clip of Harris telling the story, noting her "uncontrollable giggle" and characterizing her as insincere.

3:19:54 End of show, ISO choices. You got anything? Did you bring stuff? I, you know, I felt bad about it when it happened, but I didn't get anything. Oh my. Okay, well, I have choice of this one you heard already. A man and a woman. Uh, caught this one. Wheedom! That's Kamala's Wheedom. I have this one. The press is bad, the press is bad, the press is bad, the press is bad. And this one. Okay, boom, you nail it. That's it. The last one. The press is bad, the press is bad, the press is bad? Yeah, I think that's great. Alright, let me just... I do have the story about Camel and the stupid freedom thing.

3:20:35 uh... one of the uh... which i don't know what you're sure what is the camera also plagiarists vice president elect kamala harris is being accused of stealing it and anecdotes first told by martin luther king junior and passing it off as her own experience In an interview with Elle magazine in October, Harris talked of going on civil rights marches with her family in a stroller. Quote, my mother tells the story about how I'm fussing and she's like, baby, what do you want? What do you need? And I just look at her and I said, freedom.

3:21:10 Now, some are noticing the serious similarities to a story told by the Reverend King in 1965. I will never forget a moment in Birmingham when a white policeman accosted a little Negro girl. What do you want? The policeman asked her gruffly, and the little girl answered, feed them. Now, you know this would be an amazing huge story. It would be the biggest story out there if Harris was a Republican, but she's not. I have her telling that story from C-SPAN. She's apparently stuck with the story because it was in that interview.

3:21:48 But was that the C-SPAN interview? Yeah, I guess so. Well, hold on. He said it was in Elle magazine. So this is a repertoire story. Like, Corinne Popp and my dad told me, and my mom told me the exact same thing. It's worth listening to it, not just for the story, but how she has an uncontrollable giggle laugh Which is really not appropriate in the in the laugh arc of her story And and there are some funny stories. I was just sharing with someone backstage, you know so I I witnessed this as I write about in the book, you know from my strollers I view and there's a funny family story about how so my mother's marching with the extended family I talked about like aunt Mary and uncle Freddy in the book and

3:22:40 And she would tell the story about how so they're marching and this is back when strollers didn't really have armrests and seatbelts. So they're marching away and you know shouting and all of that and then I think it was my uncle Freddie that you know looked down and looked in the stroller which was empty. and said, where's Kamala? Apparently they left me like a block behind. I'd fallen out the door. There you go. And then my mother would tell a funny story about how like one day she did and I was fussing and you know and so I'm fussing and fussing. She it's much cuter when she would tell the story but she'd say so then she would look down at me and Kamala what do you want? What do you want? And I

3:23:26 And I looked back up and I said, freedom. I'm so glad you got that story on your own, because I was going to ask you because I wanted to hear you say freedom. Oh, yeah. Freedom. Ladies and gentlemen, your future president of the United States of America. She is. Something's wrong with her. You know, Spotify would reject that as a podcast with that laugh. Seriously, there is something wrong with her. How about she's insincere, underqualified, and an idiot? Would that help? Probably. I'd say perfect for US President.

Indonesia Plane Crash, Boeing 737 Reporting, Show Outro

Reporting on a Sriwijaya Air crash in Indonesia is criticized for misleadingly linking a 26-year-old Boeing 737-500 to the newer 737 MAX model. The hosts argue this is a "planted story" to damage Boeing's reputation. The episode concludes with a final "Value for Value" appeal and a preview of upcoming coverage of the second impeachment.

3:24:10 Since we talked about bad reporting and or dubious reporting I thought this was one of the worst things I've ever heard being reported this is on PBS by Sure true not that guy Shrina of a red brief. I can never pronounce his name unless I see it written down This is the weekend report and tell me what you think about what you're gonna hear after you hear it Oh, I'm sorry. I should have given you some indication. I think it's this one. In Indonesia, a plane carrying 62 people crashed into the Java Sea shortly after taking off from Jakarta this afternoon local time. The Indonesian Navy says it has pinpointed the location of the crash and is looking for survivors. According to the Indonesian Transportation Ministry, the domestic flight had been delayed at least 30 minutes due to heavy rain. It disappeared from radar four minutes after taking off.

3:25:09 The plane was a 26-year-old Boeing 737-524, a much older version of the Boeing 737 Max, which was pulled from service for 20 months after two crashes. Yeah, your question. It's not an older version of the Max. It's just that it's got the same moniker. The Max is yeah, there's some few similarities and in later models of the this is a 25 year old 737. It's got nothing to do with this new plane. No, of course not. But if you read the reports, most of the written reports, they always start off with a 26-year-old airplane, which has no bearing on the safety of said aircraft. The airframe can be 26 years old. And the relationship to the 737 MAX is irrelevant. It's completely. The relationship is only really in name only.

3:26:11 Here's what I'm thinking, don't fly on that airline. How about that for a thought? How about this for an idea? This was a planted story to slam Boeing. Well, that war is ongoing, the war between Airbus and Boeing. I don't think we'll ever, ever see the true winner of that one. But we will see something coming Thursday. Who knows what it'll be? But you can rest assured and know that we're on the case. Yeah, it'll be impeachment and that was just dumb and a lot of complaining. A lot of complaining. But we're not complaining because we are Gitmo Nation. Jesse Coynell's an end of show mix coming up. I'm gonna do the full We Are The World Jeff Smith Build Back Better.

3:27:06 Since we gave you so many different teases of it. I'm not sure who's coming up after the show I'd need that in the main troll room Somebody let me know But I am Adam Curry coming to you from Opportunity Zone 33 here in the capital the drone star state Austin, Texas if you want to find us We're snow covered in FEMA region 6 In the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry And from northern Silicon Valley, we're in a snow cover that's never going to happen unless it's a different kind of snow.

3:27:50 This man literally put violence on peaceful protesters for a bible photo opportunity and then was slammed by the church. A man and a woman. Like, nothing he does makes sense at all. And then his video response right after the violence, right at the beginning he's perpetuating that this is a rigged election. And I mean, like, he just got caught on recording. I'm just like, beyond disturbed, I hope everyone is safe on both sides.

3:28:26 I just hope everyone stays safe. And I just hope this awful, awful display of patriotism, and that's not what it is. Like, saying that with air quotes and sarcasm, it's not patriotism. I hope this is a catalyst for people to really try to get some real change. heartbreaking to know that this is the reality of America. We're not like the Catholic beacon on the hill, everyone has said that. It's just like, I'm in my early 20s and I'm knowing that this is kind of like what I have to deal with for the rest of my life. It's really like, I want everyone else kind of to deal with it, where people will remember what these are like, in the good old days.

3:29:11 It is just kind of like really, really, really shocking. I just can't believe that it's gotten to this point of like violence. Just like...just violence and ignorance. A man and a woman. The Clown Show! It says on your chart that you're fucked up. You talk like a fag and your shits are retarded. What I do is to say A man and a woman. Day believe, be ready, be the one. A bastion of our beauty, befriending everyone.
