About this episode

Governor Greg Abbott and Mississippi officials sparked a national debate by lifting state mask mandates and returning businesses to full capacity. President Joe Biden responded by labeling the decision Neanderthal thinking, a sentiment echoed by PBS commentator Jonathan Capehart. Despite the policy shift, major retailers including Target and Kroger announced they will maintain independent masking requirements for all customers.

Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb predicted that COVID-19 will evolve into a seasonal respiratory pathogen, potentially requiring the return of virtual board meetings by December 2021. Meanwhile, the San Diego Zoo began vaccinating great apes following a gorilla outbreak, and UK health officials launched a manhunt in South Gloucestershire for an individual carrying the Brazilian variant. In New York, Governor Andrew Cuomo faces dual crises as aides are accused of concealing nursing home deaths while former assistant Charlotte Bennett details allegations of sexual harassment and grooming. Additionally, a massive security breach of Microsoft Exchange servers by the Chinese state-sponsored group Hafnium has prompted a White House response, though Press Secretary Jen Psaki avoided naming China directly during briefings.

Adam Curry clarified his history with the Gopher Protocol, explaining that his MTV wardrobe choices were the result of a legal settlement with the University of Minnesota. John C. Dvorak and Curry also explored the rise of NFTs as a digital Beanie Baby craze and the curious performance of yellow and black product packaging. The episode concluded with a musical parody of the Pfizer BioNTech fact sheet and a teaser regarding a mysterious FBI letter.

00:00 I bet! Adam Curry, John C. DeVora It's Sunday March 7th 2021 This is your award winning Gimbal Nation Media Assassination episode 1327 This is no agenda 966 dead and counting, and broadcasting live from Opportunity Zone 33 here in the frontier of Austin Texas. Capital of the drone star state! In the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley where we can report an eight car Zephyr. Ladies and gentlemen right off the bat we might as well alert the boys over at Squawk Box CNBC. We have an eight car Zephyr, we have a very stable slowly growing economy Bitcoin 51,033 Oh my god! Wooo! Listen to that horn Of course the Zephyr was reported out of Denver

00:56 Wait a minute. Do we have other Zephyr outposts that I'm unaware of? We do now! Nice, that's our Denver producer That is the way to go. That is very good. We cover Sunday because there's no Zephyr going by here today No exactly, I was surprised It's yesterday's Zephyr Since CNN isn't doing it, I figure we might as well just keep the death count You know they did that for the past year on how many people died with COVID So I think we should do how many people died from the vaccine? 966 so far. I have the handout you get when you go get a vaccine from Pfizer Oh, okay

Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine Fact Sheet Analysis

An examination of the eight-page Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine handout reveals that the product lacks formal FDA approval and operates under Emergency Use Authorization. The document lists ingredients including mRNA, lipids, polyethylene glycol, and sucrose, while noting that the duration of protection remains unknown. The text explicitly states that refusing the vaccine will not alter a patient's standard medical care, raising questions about the legality of future vaccine passports.

01:36 Now this is a big giant thing, I want to go over it because it's... how many pages? It's like six seven... it's eight pages. Wow! There are couple of pages in front that keep you from reading the real pages. Is it all an uppercase so you really can't read it? So just swims in front of your eyes like a Eula? The first couple pages are about V-safe V-safe? The after vaccination health check. Ah, yay! You're supposed to check in with them or they're supposed to call you or something like that? You aim your smartphone at the code and then you end up getting it and they call every few minutes they say are you okay? Are you okay? Until you tell it to stop. And so this goes on for a couple pages and then you... Okay complete and then did the v-safe help It's all cool. It is all up tempo and aerial

02:28 And then boom, the fact sheet for recipients and caregivers. Emergency youth officer offers us an E... What font is that in? That's also curiously also in Ariel. Oh okay. I don't think it's Helvetica but I'd have to look at a cheat sheet. Now you've been offered the vaccine this was six pages of just pages of stuff that seems normal until you get to... You know as I highlighted about eight of the sentences that should be read. There's no US Food and Drug Administration approved vaccine to prevent COVID-19, it's on page one. Well you know stop right there this is very interesting what our producers pointed out to me

03:17 If you don't feel comfortable with the, I'll just wait for it's my time where i don't want to jump the line. You can also say yes, I'll consider the vaccine once its been approved by the FDA To which immediately people go there are three of them man! Is any of them approved by the FDA or do they have emergency use authorization? All of em It's dynamite to use this And here goes a couple paragraphs later, the Pfizer BioNTech. They'll put that in there at least one I guess they've been asking for more credit COVID-19 vaccine may not protect everyone onward the Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine is an unapproved vaccine that may prevent COVID 19 go to page two now this one i'm going to read although I don't really want

04:14 Because I can't. But it's the paragraph that says, what are the ingredients in the Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine? Well here is your witch's brew. I'm going to try and read it. The vaccine includes the following ingredients MRNA lipids for hydroxy butyl as a night as in deal this hexane 6 1 dial bis 2 hexane deck can know deck an oak oh that's red dye number three to polyethylene glycol dash 2000 nn diet tetracycline acetamide vape juice

05:02 1, 2-Disteryl SN Glycero 3 Phosphocholine and cholesterol. The good kind or the bad kind? Potassium chloride monobasic potassium phosphate sodium chloride dibasic sodium phosphate I'm sorry dibasic sodium phosphate dihydrate and Sucrose. Mmm! A little sugar in there. Yeah, well at least it's not high fructose corn syrup Next page Vaccine is an unimproved vaccine. Next paragraph The duration of protection against COVID-19 is currently unknown. Vaccine could cause a severe allergic reaction Whoops! Umm...

06:00 I don't know why highlighted this one. It says, what if I decide not to get the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID 19 vaccine? Oh it is your choice to receive it or not receive it. Does have that emphasis in there that's good! Or NOT! Should you decide not to receive it will not change your medical...your standard medical care oh this is interesting This is really...now I know why underline this so What it says here is that if you choose not to receive this vaccine, it will not and think about this change your standard medical care. That means nobody can require you to have the vaccine If there's anything do with your doctor or going into the hospital getting an operation or anything Which should be between you and your doctor because that is what Roe V Wade determined Roe V well, yeah, it's not Roe V Wade but oh No Well don't keep going

06:59 It should be between you and your doctor, but if it's in your record it is your doctor. And your doctor can't say you didn't get the COVID vaccine so we can't give you this... We can't remove this cyst or you can't come into the hospital because you don't... You didn't get the COVID vaccine. Huh. I don't think people realize that well and this goes to the whole passport thing is there can be no discussion of passport until at least these things are approved by the FDA wouldn't you say? I think, i think that's a hundred percent correct yeah and that is that is the first step because it'll take years to approve these it's not going to just happen overnight they'll never get approved No so that's pretty interesting idea excuse me you can have a passport for something that's unapproved

07:49 End of discussion. There's only one last one, the very end I don't know it does say this people course aren't gonna read any of this if i read this i wouldn't take it you walk right out you slam that syringe on the ground The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID 19 vaccine has not undergone this undergone the same type of review as an FDA approved or cleared product Boom. That's it, that's it! So there is your answer. None of this can take place until thats approved and I have high doubts We don't know that much about the vaccine In fact San Diego did an interesting thing this past week

CHAPTER 03 / 50 Discussion

San Diego Zoo Great Ape Vaccination Program

A group of great apes at the San Diego Zoo became the first animals in the United States to receive COVID-19 vaccines. The decision followed an outbreak where eight gorillas contracted the virus, leading officials to use the endangered animals to study antibody development and vaccine efficacy.

san diego zoo· great apes· gorillas· endangered species· animal testing

08:33 And they just say it outright, we really don't know too much about this vaccine. A group of great apes in San Diego have made history as the first animals to receive the COVID-19 vaccines in the U.S.. According to a wildlife health officer and the decision to administer the vaccines came after eight gorillas at the San Diego Zoo became the first great apes in the world to contract COVID The apes are expected to be tested to see whether they develop antibodies, which would indicate that the vaccine is working. And I know some people are saying their animals actual humans need this vaccine you know what? They're endangered so and we could actually sort of learn a lot about how the vaccine works as well. Oh! Learn how the vaccine works shoot it into the great apes which you should have done in the first place...I think

COVID Psychosis and Ben Price Suicide Case

Ben Price, a 48-year-old farmer from Morris, Illinois, took his own life 16 days after a COVID-19 diagnosis. His widow, Jennifer Price, described a dramatic personality shift and extreme fear following his hospitalization, leading medical experts to investigate a phenomenon labeled as COVID psychosis.

ben price· covid psychosis· mental health· morris· illinois· suicide

09:22 Some animal reminds me of the Nancy Pelosi comment. Let's pass this bill so we can see what's in it exactly So we have a new term, a new syndrome which is very bad which is now cropping up and has been given a name by the mainstream media as we go to like 50 miles outside of Chicago for this one. Life was good for 48 year old Ben Price, the married father of two was a farmer and business owner in Morris In February he contracted COVID-19 after riding in a car with others to Bible study Two weeks later... He took his own life. He would never have left us

10:01 Our Ben did not leave us and that's what we want to get out is he was not our Ben. Price's widow Jennifer says her husband was hospitalized for four days with lung and oxygen issues He came home a different man. He would just pace through the house and repeat things, and it wasn't even in his normal tone of voice. It was a very different tone he was very scared he just kept repeating I'm sorry I'm so scared I'm so scared and he just kept repeating and he would stare out the window and he was just worried about things that

10:40 that weren't even happening. 16 days from COVID diagnosis to death by suicide, despite doctors prescribing Xanax to try to calm him while doctors have not yet been able to determine if Ben Price had something known as COVID psychosis medical experts say the virus can definitely impact a person's brain Okay COVID psychosis. I think this is important to recognize because it can be a nocebo effect even for people who've had the vaccine they can, they're so freaked out over everything people are going crazy

CHAPTER 05 / 50 Discussion

Texas and Mississippi Lift State Mask Mandates

Governor Greg Abbott of Texas and officials in Mississippi announced the removal of state mask mandates and a return to 100% business capacity. President Joe Biden criticized the move as Neanderthal thinking, while retailers like Target, Kroger, and Randall's opted to maintain their own masking requirements despite the change in state policy.

greg abbott· texas· mississippi· mask mandate· anthony fauci· joe biden

11:18 Wow. It's terrible, poor guy! The machine is turning full strength man I mean counter to the Democrats who want you know to open up and take all their winnings there's 350 billion for basically New York Chicago and a New York Illinois in California And the biosecurity state wants us to stay locked up? I'll tell ya, yeah I don't have any clips but maybe i do This morning I watched television before it came in here to the studio. Yes, in the studio sure and that all I was all that was on were all these different commentators on these news shows talking about Abbott Abbott Abbot is not as though he's the only guy who did this but Mississippi

12:13 dropped a mask mandate I think South Carolina's, there was bunch of people that did. Of course in South Dakota never had one. But Abbott, Abbott, Abbott they're all it's always about Abbott they are going nuts over your governor Abbott Oh yeah well Texas is the largest state you know and we're a bunch of douchebags I mean you know this this is remember when I had that business meeting with the guy in San Diego? The Hollywood guy and he's like Texas At least you're in Austin, it's not like Texas! Why don't you go stick it up your ear brother? They've never been to Texas. I know anything about that. So what the machine is trying to do is trying to tell us a couple things one look at these nut jobs in Texas taking their mask off even though that has nothing to do with the order that Governor Abbott and the other governors they haven't said take your mask off they said

13:06 Look, we're not going to mandate this anymore. Y'all can figure it out." And they actually said y'all because that's what we say here but that is immediately... Not even discussed in the last show is not even turned into social distancing because that's gone out the window but now it's just about the mask so it's even though everyone can do whatever they want The machine needs to tell you that were all going to die because of this We'll start with a refresher of what took place this past week as the order was announced, it doesn't go into effect until Wednesday or Thursday I think. The debate over wearing masks is raging now that Texas and Mississippi are lifting their mask mandates despite the change in state policy some cities and large retailers including Target and Kroger are keeping their mask requirements in place Dr Anthony Fauci says the decision by Texas and Mississippi is ill-advised President Biden went further in his criticism calling it Neanderthal thinking

14:01 I think it's a big mistake. The last thing we need is Neanderthal thinking that in the meantime everything is fine, take off your mask and forget it So everyone jumped on the pile. These are ABC clips, by the way including Governor Newsom your governor out there pretty boy and in California Governor Gavin Newsom calling out other leaders who forego mask mandates and other restrictions We are encouraging people basically to double down on mask wearing particularly in light of all of what I would argue is bad information coming from at least four states in this country. Leaders like Texas Governor Greg Abbott who doubled down on his decision to lift restrictions. Texans have mastered the safe strategies, they don't need an order from Austin Texas telling them what to do

14:57 Now, Dr. Fauci says studies are being conducted right now on vaccinated people to find out which activities are safe and which restrictions could be possibly lifted in the future Well this is interesting! Now all of a sudden we're discussing and evaluating what restrictions could be lifted I think we should remind everybody and ourselves that that was supposed to be kind of when we had the vaccine That's it you're done You're vaccinated? You go out? No no no The timeline was we got to do all these things until the vaccine. It was always until... Until the vaccine and my buddy Dave... That's the promise

15:34 My buddy Dave Jones lives in Alabama and they were all hoping that their governor would follow suit. Their governor, I think she's like 91 years old? Her nickname is like Marmy or something like that and she just this ol' crotchety lady but she buckled under pressure Folks we're not there yet but goodness knows we are getting closer Governor Kay Ivey is playing it safe, extending Alabama's mask mandate another five weeks. Contrast that with Texas and Mississippi Republican governors there announced this week they're lifting mask mandates reversals President Biden called Neanderthal thinking

16:10 Alabama's masking extension encouraged staff at this mass vaccination clinic near Birmingham. It really signals to everybody that we are not out of the woods yet, but five miles away at Archie's barbecue general manager Michael Manikidis had hoped the mask mandate would go away 90 percent of my customer base is against it. I would say they feel like they shouldn't have to wear it." Masking rollbacks in Texas and Mississippi means 16 states will no longer have mask requirements by next week. Yeah, it's out of control! They can't handle this now... Now it's become a problem the fire has been lit they can't stop these governors from opening up their states and people are starting to realize that this is some crap

16:58 So now we start to get the announcements as I expected. Gold's gym will not require masks for its members, will reopen 100% capacity this coming week That's in Texas. Yeah, but although this is not about HEB this is what the grocery stores are doing. Randall's Grocery Stores now says it will require customers to wear masks after the state mandate is lifted Wednesday It says frontline associates haven't had full access to vaccines We've updated our story about which grocery stores will require mask and which won't at kegsand dot com just search for mask stores

CHAPTER 06 / 50 Discussion

Jonathan Capehart Defends Biden's Neanderthal Comment

PBS commentator Jonathan Capehart defended President Biden's use of the term Neanderthal to describe the lifting of mask mandates in Texas and Mississippi. Capehart argued that the focus should remain on the science of the pandemic rather than the president's language, dismissing conservative criticism as hypocritical following the previous administration's rhetoric.

jonathan capehart· pbs· joe biden· neanderthal· david brooks· political commentary

17:38 H-E-B made a similar announcement, which is not going over well. They're real Texas outfit and I think a lot of people are disappointed by that but the story that their frontline workers have not been vaccinated yet? Well aren't they front line workers? Aren't these the people who were supposed to have it so we could all be safe and now you continue to mandate masks because they don't have their vaccinations yet Everything is so crooked, man. So crooked! It's very strange and now... Before we continue which I want to do, I want to play this clip because i want you to explain to me what the deal is with this Neanderthal term

18:20 the Biden thing? You're gonna have to tell you what it is. Okay, COVID PBS X APE. While we're talking about COVID and not this relief bill but something else this week several governors announced Jonathan that they are lifting their mask mandates. And President Biden, when asked about that said it was it sounded to him like Neanderthal thinking he's gotten a lot of blowback since then smart thing to say what do you think Jonathan Well, Judy I'm going to leave aside the president's comments. A lot of people are upset that he used the word Neanderthal one person emailed me and said that it was a pejorative and i get where they're coming from but we've got bigger issues to worry about here and don't want to hear any noise from the far right or from conservatives complaining about the president's language when after four years they completely ignored or pretended not to hear see

19:18 or read any of the tweets from the previous president. What we're dealing with here is a pandemic where, at least here in the United States, we were within reach of getting it under control. Hospitalizations, infections deaths were on the downslope and we have seen over the last few days at least that the levels of infections have stopped going down you take on top of that Texas and Mississippi deciding that they're just gonna give up no more masks open up completely I think what a lot of scientists are looking at is the possibility of an upswing in reinfections right when we were on the path, and it looked like we're on a very good path to having a summer late summer certainly fall where we could start. We could be back to what we used to think of as normal.

20:13 of the governor of Texas and the governor of Mississippi would spend more time thinking and looking at the science, what the science says should be done which would then make it possible for those states to open up safely more quickly than they're going to now. And by doing all that you get people back to work, you get economies moving again and you get back to normal." Who was this jabroni? That's that Capehart guy who is going to take over from David Brooks. He's the one who argues with Brooks because I think Brooks is getting fired Oh no, Brooks is on the way out he's got all kinds of backroom conflicts of interest Now of course he had to be because he considers himself a moderate or somewhat conservative so we had to go it's clear Goodbye But this guy this is not a medical guy you just talking out of his butthole

21:09 But it's part, and this is what it is. It scares everybody! The irony of that clip is where he says oh if we would have just waited till fall next you know six months from now we could go back to normal well that's what they're doing in Texas no then that's not even true by the way here in Texas that comment from the president about Neanderthal everyone hears like Poor man's elderly abuse. Let him go no one cares they really don't care here, and I don't get the elder I don't there's so much that he K part said in there He says it's a pejorative to who maybe to Abbott But who cares? No no one took it personally It was dumb the only thing that maybe m5m is doing here Is to say see just like Trump when he says something off-color we report on it

22:06 Could that be it? Because he did mention that. Oh my god, if that's it then that is the worst! Well it came up in the report didn't it? He said you know they've all forgotten what Trump tweeted That's what yeah well he's gone by some talking points we're unaware of It'd take a while to deconstruct his How he's oriented I can't figure it out yet. Back to the biosecurity state that is fighting against the political state, here we have former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb and he has his own version of what it's all what's really going to happen and when we can expect to go back to some normality

CHAPTER 07 / 50 Discussion

Scott Gottlieb Predicts Seasonal Respiratory Pathogen Cycles

Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb predicted that while the spring and summer of 2021 may see a return to normalcy, COVID-19 will likely circulate as a seasonal respiratory pathogen. He suggested that precautions may need to return in December 2021, potentially replacing in-person holiday parties and board meetings with virtual alternatives.

scott gottlieb· fda· anthony fauci· seasonal virus· respiratory pathogen

22:44 One is these comments by Dr. Fauci over the weekend, suggesting that we're all going to be wearing masks irrespective of whether we've been vaccinated or not into 2022. Do you agree with that? I don't think so. I think there might be circumstances where some of us will want to wear masks. I don't think this is gonna be linear too. Dr. Fauci also said that he thinks things will be normal by December. I think things will be normal in the spring and summer of this year. We're going to have to take certain precautions, but we're gonna be back doing stuff. And then as we get into the deep winter, as it starts to circulate again I think come December we may start to pull back that doesn't mean we're gonna have shutdowns and be doing what we did this December But you know means we might not have holiday parties board meetings in December might be zoom rather than in-person meetings is gonna be things differently

23:32 So this isn't going to be a linear progression over the course of the year where it gets progressively better and then by Christmas time, it's all good. I think this is a respiratory pathogen that circulates in the wintertime and once it becomes wintertime again in 2021-2022 we're gonna need to take certain precautions. I think if there's gonna be a normal time over the next 12 months It's likely to be this spring and summer Let's decode this what he's saying is Hell yeah, you get a little break and then we're gonna yank you right back down. You stupid stupid stupid slaves! And this summer? Oh yeah really?! You think the machine is going to let you have a nice spring and summer I don't think so So with Florida having 1 quarter of the cases in the B117 variant in the entire country how concerned are you about another surge

CHAPTER 08 / 50 Discussion

Miami Beach Mayor Concerns Over Spring Break

The Mayor of Miami Beach expressed concern over a potential COVID-19 surge driven by the B117 variant and an influx of spring break tourists arriving on discounted flights. Local officials worry that open bars and large gatherings will lead to super-spreader events similar to those seen in early 2020.

miami beach· florida· spring break· b117 variant· tourism

24:17 This is the mayor of Miami Beach. A lot of things are happening simultaneously, you've got the variant down here and still are having sometimes dozens of deaths a day in our county and at the same time we've got incredibly cheap round-trip tickets for 40 bucks from anywhere in the north. Deaths per day? What's the average age of the Florida residents Certainly during I think it's let me guess. I think I pretty much know it is uh, I believe 103 And that's just Horowitz who's up in the ante cheap round-trip tickets for 40 bucks You know from anywhere in the Northeast down here discounted rooms and people who have been really in there you know bent up and no

25:03 wanting to get out with no other place to go than here. So we are very worried that there's going to be a convergence of people here and in a real problem in the aftermath of that, but all those people coming here go to bars which are open per the governor's order, go to restaurants. And most of our restaurants have been really responsible there is a lot of outdoor dining hotels have been incredible in terms of setting up all the protections for people but it is really the bars and those other kinds of gatherings that might become the kind of super spreaders I think we saw year ago. Super Spreader just like last year!

25:41 They're just gonna keep coming at you. They're going to lower... I don't know what's wrong with that guy. By the way, the governor didn't order the bars to be open! No they love positioning that. Abbott ordered the mask mandate lifted! Average age in Florida 42 years old compared to Texas 34.6 But all of this talk about masks It's all finally been resolved. Finally! Now we know, oh my goodness I'm glad we have the final study. Tonight Dr Anthony Fauci says he is concerned that a recent drop in infections nationwide has now stalled and could start climbing again New research from the CDC appears to back that up suggesting that in places where in-person dining is allowed The death rate from COVID goes up

CHAPTER 09 / 50 Discussion

Post-Pandemic Anxiety and Work-From-Home Preferences

A viral tweet thread from media CEO Emily Ramshaw revealed a growing sentiment among professionals who fear returning to pre-pandemic routines. Many "blue checkmark" Twitter users expressed a preference for remote work, citing a desire to avoid business travel, formal attire, and daily commutes in favor of more time with family.

emily ramshaw· blue checkmarks· work from home· lifestyle· social media

26:30 At the same time, scientists at the CDC say they now have evidence that masks work leading to fewer infections and deaths. They have evidence now! John aren't you happy to know that the debate is finally over? After a year? Yes yeah Now there's some interesting thoughts about about the reaction, the response about the masks. Certainly in Austin and I would say if you look on social media, the outrage is mainly from women and i'm sure a lot of them are moms and they've been terrorized but Cam B over on noagendasocial.com posted something And he said, uh...I have theory it's about face makeup. I found this out in Japan pre-COVID. I asked a local

27:19 Why there were so many women who wore masks on trains as opposed to the men. And the woman I was with told me it's because they couldn't be bothered doing their makeup in the morning and are just running errands, and didn't want to take off... you know just throw the mask on! It's the Lulu Lemon stretch pants for the face. And I have a feeling there is something to that. Wow! That's a great post. What was that again? That's from Cam B., No Agenda Social And along with that comes, there was a... let me see where is this now? There was posts about a whole bunch of blue check marks on Twitter and they're all I'm looking for it here. They're all basically saying the same thing like oh here it is Let me read this and so these are quote-unquote

28:14 verified people and they may be their journalists. The one who kicked off this tweet thread is Emily Ramshaw, I think she was the CEO of 19th News. It's kind of like these BuzzFeed Vox outlets and here's her tweet Suddenly today I panicked about life inching back toward normal. I don't want to travel endlessly for work, I don't want my weekends to be over committed with activities, I don't want to miss bedtime with my kid, I don't want to wear blazers or hell even shoes and all these blue check marks start piling in! Yes the thought of going back to my old routine horrifies me...or yes to this a thousand times YES! Another one

28:59 I started to feel so much of this week too. I want to travel and eat out so badly, and yet i'm terrified about returning to the life I had pre-pandemic! What is going on here? On a great reset that's what it's about. Somethings going on... This is very... And these are elites obviously these are not poor people, these are checkmark people I wonder if there's a correlation in income and check marks. Now, just because you have a check mark...I don't want to generalize but this there is something here about them not really even wanting to go back to normal? I think JC who works from home from working he works at a startup a couple different ones uh i think he's in this the same camp. I think a lot of the millennials are in this camp they don't like what they were doing. I mean they liked the job they liked their potential for income they liked the money

29:52 But they didn't like to have to go to work and geez it was so you know I had to get up, I had to put shoes on. I gotta put makeup on my face and i got a... You know? Go all the way to work and back through the toll gates and all the rest It's too much! Too hard! Some of these must be teachers too. I think there are teachers that did- All the teachers are in this camp Yeah Well, if there's no will... I gotta go see these brats? I got to go and deal with these 25 brats?! You know, I have heard teachers talk that way. Woohoo!

Arizona and South Carolina Loosen Health Restrictions

Arizona Governor Doug Ducey ended capacity limits on businesses while maintaining mask requirements, and South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster lifted mask mandates in government buildings. These moves come as national COVID-19 cases continue to drop, despite warnings from public health officials about potential spikes.

30:34 I have a couple other clips. Okay, same record. A few more so whenever you're well here let's do the COVID first let's get this out of the way because we hear all these people it's gonna go back up and that K-Part guy oh is really where we were within an inch was in a grasp i can almost get there and then they pulled me back uh because of the because of Texas cuz just one guy in Texas yeah The Neanderthal! The neanderthal guy in texas COVID cases, now meanwhile they're still telling us this. COVID cases declining on PBS. The number of new coronavirus cases continues to drop in the United States but the decline has slowed slightly. Yesterday there were more than 65 thousand new cases a 12% drop from two weeks ago according to The New York Times Overall there have been nearly 29 million cases of Covid-19 counted in the US and more than 520 thousand deaths

31:30 The drop in cases has prompted a growing number of states to loosen health restrictions. Yesterday, Arizona Governor Doug Ducey ended capacity limits on the state's businesses but kept mask wearing and social distancing requirements in place. Also yesterday South Carolina governor Henry McMaster lifted a mask mandate in government buildings and California officials announced that theme parks may partially reopen as soon as April But public health officials like Dr. Anthony Fauci warn that loosening restrictions now could lead to yet another spike in COVID-19 cases. Oh man, and all they have to do is just send out a memo and up the cycle count on the PCR you're good to go. Yeah boom there's your spike! Good to go that's all they got to do And they've already done that in Ontario They raised it from 30 to 35 Oh yeah they'll get their numbers up Ontario numbers going up we can predict it now

Brazilian Variant Manhunt in South Gloucestershire

UK health officials launched an urgent search for an individual in South Gloucestershire who tested positive for the Brazilian variant of COVID-19. Prime Minister Boris Johnson's administration faced criticism from the Labour party for incompetence regarding the tracking of the variant as the country remains under strict travel uncertainty.

brazil variant· uk· south gloucestershire· boris johnson· public health

32:26 Might as well, don't even need to put it in the book here. Play this one! This is the COVID UK report. This is where's really crap. Hello there good evening the health secretary has hailed what he called seriously encouraging evidence suggesting that a single shot of one of the covid vaccines available in the uk cuts hospitalizations by 80 percent In an additional sign of the potential efficacy of the vaccination programme, the number of patients over 80 admitted to intensive care with Covid in the UK has dropped a single figure. Meanwhile Labour has accused the government of unforgivable incompetence as health officials continued their attempts to trace a person who tested positive for the Brazilian variant of the virus

33:10 and the deputy chief medical officer warned there was great uncertainty about the prospects of summer holidays abroad this year. Our science correspondent Thomas Moore reports It is about as far removed from the Amazon as you can imagine but the patchwork of South Gloucestershire is now the front line of an urgent attempt to contain a significant new variant in Brazil Hey that's racist, you can't say that! Can't say where it's from man Yeah, the way it works. It seems as though some guy went through the system and I guess to the right system where they had to test for the variance they found a variant he got was gone when

33:51 When they came out to tell him or whatever, I don't know. Oh and he just escaped. Now the whole country's in a tizzy It's a manhunt! It's a manhunt for someone dude Bojo...Bojo The Jabber is on a manhunt we'll get him tackle him Bojo The Jabber! We'l write that down You can also jabbing Joe there's another one Bojo the Jabber is like just hunting this guy down, sticking with a needle. Meanwhile, I should get this to other. This is the South more from South Africa But the South Africans have pretty much the same ratio of deaths and everything to us Their only country in South America. So I'm sorry The only country in Africa that has this phenomenon but they seem to be a lot calmer about it with pretty much the same percentage numbers that we have every which way

South Africa Relaxes Lockdown Amid Second Wave Recovery

President Cyril Ramaphosa announced that South Africa has moved to its lowest lockdown level following a dramatic decline in COVID-19 cases. The country secured 11 million doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, though some frontline health workers have expressed resistance to the jab because it was administered before the conclusion of trial phases.

south africa· cyril ramaphosa· johnson & johnson· vaccine rollout

34:48 They don't seem to be so jacked up. South Africa has moved into the lowest level lockdown, further relaxing restrictions on movement gatherings and economic activity it comes after officials said was a dramatic decline in COVID-19 cases over eight weeks now South Africa is the worst affected country on the continent having recorded over one and a half million infections and 50 000 deaths a new variant that is more easily transmitted dominated a deadly second wave in the country. Now, international broadcast on Sunday evening President Siro Ramaphosa said that the country had now emerged from that second wave and that the vaccine rollout was steadily progressing once the vaccination of health care workers has been completed we will begin with phase two of the vaccination roll out in late

35:36 April to early May. Phase two will include the elderly, essential workers persons living or working in institutional settings and those with comorbidities South Africa recently signed an agreement with Johnson & Johnson to secure 11 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. The country is currently inoculating its frontline health workers, but some of them are opposed to the Johnson & Johnson vaccine because the government began administering the jab before its trial phase had concluded I had little weeks into South Africa's vaccination program and there is growing resistance. So far, less than 80 thousand people have received the voluntary jab. Oh man! You know the thing about that though is the South Africans

Alessandro Meluzzi Deplatformed Over Vaccine Brand Preference

Italian public figure Alessandro Meluzzi was reportedly deplatformed from Facebook after advising his followers to choose the Johnson & Johnson vaccine over mRNA alternatives. The incident sparked a discussion on whether expressing a preference for specific pharmaceutical brands constitutes a violation of social media terms or a restraint of trade.

alessandro meluzzi· italy· facebook· censorship· johnson & johnson

36:33 paying careful enough attention to say, hey we'll take the vaccine after it's been fully tested. Americans! We haven't even gotten to the Johnson & Johnson issues...we're just taking anything! You know I was talking to Willow, I called her for a birthday on the 5th and And she's like, well I think we have to take the vaccine. She has been a little terrorized and they're still in orange zone which means they are partially locked down curbside service only etc. And I said look if you can take the vaccine then my advice would be take the Johnson & Johnson because at least it is not the mRNA. She texted me half an hour later Alessandro her husband who has quite a following in Italy

37:21 He just got deplatformed from Facebook because he tweeted, he posted that. Take the Johnson & Johnson not the other ones and they lopped him right off in Italy! Wow man they've got the clamps out well this is terrible if you read no excuse for that if you read what's now coming up opinion about what brand to buy it says this is a brand I think there's a restraint and trade issue here. This is the brand decision, I might like one brand of soap, I might like Tide, I might all, I might like one of these other off-brands Clorox detergent, Ajax. I can't say to somebody that I think I would rather buy Tide. I think Tide Liquid and by the way Tide Liquid is quite good. Tide liquid, I want Tide Liquid and they get deplatformed for having an opinion about a brand?

International Vaccine Trade Disputes and Ivermectin Studies

Italy blocked a shipment of the AstraZeneca vaccine destined for Australia, highlighting growing tensions in global vaccine distribution. Meanwhile, a debate continues over the efficacy of Ivermectin, with claims that negative studies are being funded by pharmaceutical companies to protect the market for more expensive treatments.

astrazeneca· italy· australia· ivermectin· pharmaceutical industry

38:18 It's worse. That's what you're telling me? It's worse! Italy blocked a shipment of the AstraZeneca Oxford vaccine which was destined for Australia and they said, uh-uh we ordered that first we're taking it this shenanigans going on man this shenanigans here it's so obvious there's none of this distributed equitably across all countries? No. It's every man for himself, whoever got paid the most by whichever big pharma company don't make me laugh and... I was watching the different channels there is something called Newsline I think it's a new channel like MaxMuniz NewsLine mm-hmm I think it's called Newsline somebody in the chat room can correct me but

39:11 And there's Ashley Banfield has a show on it. It didn't clarify things they may have some religious Background to it I'm not sure but it's extremely slick, it's so much slicker than then Newsmax which is amateur hour right and So I say I'm what she listens looks at the well-produced that the sound is good everything's good as I wonder if these guys are gonna last they go to commercial and Drug drug drug drug drug and I then after watching seven drug commercials. They said oh yeah, these guys are gonna do just fine They'll be on the air Not gonna give me any information. I can find useful but they'll be on the air that's for sure it was a German professor who? Came up with a What he call it a antigen vaccine which is kind of the old-school way if taking the pus out of this smallpox

40:07 And he's being sued by the German government. All right, you shut up! You go away and now the FDA is going after ivermectin? Oh very dangerous. Ivermectin... Yes the ivermectin thing there was a guy- I didn't clip it. I'm gonna re- I'm gonna clip stuff just to summarize some guy came on and went over that so this study's bogus There was one study that says ivermectin doesn't work. You might as well just take an aspirin, but the study's bogus. It's a bogus study and it was paid for by a bunch of drug companies that don't want ivermectin on the market. Oh yes!

CHAPTER 15 / 50 Discussion

Gary Null and Dr. Reiner Fuellmich on Fauci

Attorney Dr. Reiner Fuellmich appeared on The Gary Null Show to draw parallels between Anthony Fauci's handling of the 1980s AIDS crisis and the current COVID-19 pandemic. Fuellmich alleged that Fauci suppressed non-toxic treatments like Vitamin C and ozone therapy in favor of the dangerous drug AZT, a pattern he claims is repeating with the suppression of Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine.

gary null· reiner fuellmich· anthony fauci· aids crisis· azt· ivermectin

40:47 And all of that is orchestrated by one guy, and I'd like to give a little bit of exposure to this man since the M5M only has their nose up his butthole. He gets awards he's on SNL it's Anthony Fauci Finally! I was lucky one of our producers found an episode of The Gary Null Show brand new as a podcast and Gary Null had Dr. Reiner Vuhlmik on and a German-American, but American. Now he's one... this is interesting because he's another one of these medical attorney guys and these medical attorney guys they're still lawyers so they really don't give a shit in fact it's better for them if you sue them for saying something because their lawyers like oh yeah that's great! They know what they're saying and they know how to say it And when I was listening to this interview

41:41 I said, oh okay. I remember not this guy necessarily but the institute he worked for where he was doing legal for a treatment for AIDS back in... well he was doing it much much earlier but i think i first heard him about in the 80's and what he when i have a couple of clips here so you can hear the parallel he draws between Anthony Fauci same guy the AIDS crisis all of the different issues on the table and how that connects to what's happening today. So he actually has a documentary which I have not seen yet, that should be out when i find it'll put in the show notes.

42:26 how she controlled the war on AIDS, and miserably so. I was an important part of that. In fact this evening we are premiering a new film from the Society for Independent Investigative Journalism that shows at two different centers in New York successful in the sense that a person would still be HIV positive, but completely healthy. There'd be no opportunistic infections or diseases and AIDS is not a disease. AIDS is 30 different diseases that have always existed. And it's a very complex disease

43:06 But in the presence of HIV, it's called AIDS. In the presence without HIV it is called pneumocystis or Kaposi sarcoma or thrush etc. Thrush? I've heard of thrush! What's Thrush?! Rush thrush thrush. Oh, it's rush a medical condition I've heard of it now you're gonna have to look it up on the book of knowledge Okay, well I'm looking that up will I've heard of it but and it's I can't remember at all what it is It's not a rock band troll room. I've been treating people with AIDS since 1974 10 years before the official announcement And I was working with the leading gay physician dr Stephen Kaiser who didn't know what this was

43:50 and couldn't help him with the medications, but he knew I was doing things with alternative lifestyle. And I got them all well." over 400 people I helped get back to good health mainly by natural non-toxic means intravenous vitamin C, intravenous ozone etc. In any case i also had a center which was the leading holistic center in the United States and all board certified physicians nurses dieticians psychologists etc well during a 15 year period we treated 1200 people full blown AIDS

44:29 All sick when they came during a 15-year period they all remained healthy got their health back None died not a single one of these died by the way We never charged a single penny to a single patient not insurance or anything it was free So if you listen to the whole interview, he's very long and drawn out and all his credentials are laid out. But that's what I remember. I remember they were doing that with vitamin C and of course you didn't hear much about it. And that's what he explains here as they hired... I don't know if it was Hill & Knowlton? They hired a top PR firm. It said alright everybody press conference. They sent out thousands of invites And well, yeah.

45:28 was Anthony Fauci, the person who fought against any of this being made public. Including where nobody came to a press conference where we had 100 these individuals with their medical doctors and their medical records and a board of scientists one of those then one of the people on that board was David Patterson Senator Patterson New Yorker would later become Governor Patterson and he said why aren't the mainstream people looking at natural non-toxic methods instead Fauci was promoting AZT arguably the most dangerous drug ever presented to a person with AIDS and there were very few deaths before AZT, there was just skyrocketing in death after AZT. There is even a drug Bactrim that would help knock out pneumocystis

46:14 of form of pneumonia in the lungs, he wouldn't advise it. And yet had he advised it because it worked the number one cause of death in the first years of the AIDS epidemic would have been stopped And that's how Fauci does it, no matter what he is pushing. It is no wonder that thousands of journalists did not appear at the press conference because they had cured AIDS because that's a pharmaceutical advertising business as we just discussed there is no way they are going to cover this kind of story so let us wrap it all up You can't have 7,000 journalists including New York Times Washington Post etc Not show up not even comment that they were invited on three occasions by one of the top PR firms in America That we hired to do this unless there is a concerted campaign to censor this. Yes

47:06 and not allow that door to be opened to show, oh gee whiz, they're in alls. He's curing people with AIDS or getting them healthy and no one has died." And that is when they jumped in so then you must be an AIDS denier? I said, No! I'm the only person in the world who has cured AIDS and have a scientific validation by the way. That's the documentary independently done now look today we have necessary drugs that are non-toxic, less toxic than an aspirin including ivermectin. Over 40 scientific peer review studies show it works we have hydroxychloroquine with zinc and zitromycin, it works! And we have over 220 of those studies We have physicians who are mainstream pro vaccine

47:52 They're orthodox as orthodox can be. Outstanding reputations, MD PhDs, head of epidemiology at one of the divisions of Yale... All are being attacked None of their suggestions are being taken. They're actually making it impossible in some countries like South Africa to get ivermectin, which has been used there for decades to fight parasitic infections same is true for hydroxychloroquine you can't get hydroxychloroquine and most states in America that's Anthony Fauci the CDC There you go! It's parallel...it's exactly the same process discredit everything

Pharmaceutical Advertising and Hypnotic Television Suggestions

A critique of the American media landscape focuses on the prevalence of pharmaceutical advertisements on television. The use of upbeat music and happy imagery in ads for conditions like schizophrenia and restless leg syndrome is characterized as a form of hypnotic suggestion that influences public perception of health and medicine.

big pharma· advertising· television· mental health· suggestion

48:35 Listen to me, I am Pope Fauci. It's disgusting! This all began when they allowed advertising of drugs... drug companies could advertise on television and the media That would be the simplest fix to a lot of this Maybe the genie is out of the bottle but It would possible you could never get this to work with just like I said, I watch this news line thing. Yeah Slick beautiful dynamite looks like it does the job? Yep and Add add add add for farmer big farm to be there wasn't anything else It's just like TV land You know before we go to bed say if it's like 10 o'clock so now flip on TV land Maybe it's everybody loves Raymond and maybe it's two-and-a-half man doesn't really matter Just kind of zoning out

49:26 And those sitcoms have such a wave that you'd laugh even if you didn't hear it. Like, ha! What did he say? I don't know. It's just I was going with the flow of the show. It's true though right there is that comedic wave on a sitcom is very timed and works incredibly well in every commercial is pharma and its all stuff that you've never heard of We have to turn the sound down because if I said before, I'm afraid I'm gonna get it. If i hear all this stuff day in and day out... There is that element of suggestion, the power of suggestion. That's why it's better to... Hypnotic suggestion they have the music and the dog barking in background So if you only watch the video portion It's okay because it's always animated butterflies and everyone's happy

50:11 and everything's working, and we're walking through the park. People are jumping up and down they got no more osteoporosis or psoriasis or tardive dyskinesia oh gosh man I feel bad! Restless leg syndrome what else do you have? What's the multiple voices that's a big one now I don't know. Schizophrenia? Bipolar? Schizophrenia? Schizophrenia! When they got it, when there's ads for schizophrenia on the TV... ...I know that i'm watching the wrong channel We should play one of those schizophrenia ads again because they're so unbelievable. Schizophrenia Unbelievable

Anthony Fauci's Shifting Stance on Mask Efficacy

A comparison of Dr. Anthony Fauci's statements from early 2020 to 2021 highlights a reversal in mask policy, moving from discouraging public mask-wearing to endorsing it based on new CDC research. Skepticism is raised regarding CDC claims that link indoor dining directly to increased death rates, citing a lack of specific case reporting.

anthony fauci· masks· cdc· indoor dining· public health policy

50:52 I have two separate short clips about Fauci. I just want to lay this out because this guy needs to be taken the task by someone... It's never gonna happen, you're beating a dead horse Can i suggest a clip since your going to play Fauci? My favorite clip of Fauci Don't wear a mask. It's stupid to wear a mask clip is my favorite Because he's dead serious and in later says oh well I will you know was at the moment Bullcrap, I can hear his voice He's dead serious that people are stupid You're an idiot if you wear a mask right now in the United States People should not be walking around with masks

51:33 You're sure of it because people are listening really closely to this. Right now, people should not be worried There's no reason to be walking around with a mask when you're in the middle of an outbreak Wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet but it's not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is and often There are unintended consequences. People keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face. And can you get some schmutz sort of staying inside there? Of course, of course but when you think masks you should think of health care providers needing them and people who are ill

52:12 And we fast forward once again to less than one year later. Tonight, Dr Anthony Fauci says he's concerned that a recent drop in infections nationwide has now stalled and could start climbing again. New research from the CDC appears to back that up suggesting that in places where in-person dining is allowed, the death rate from COVID goes up at the same time scientists at the CDC say they now have evidence that masks work leading to fewer infections and deaths by the way There's something in here that I have a problem with this bit here The death rate from COVID goes up. Back that up, suggesting that in places where in-person dining is allowed... So first of all, suggesting, okay? Suggesting appears to back it up. Appears to back it up. This is good actually now we deconstruct this. New research from the CDC appears to back that up suggesting that in places where in person dining is allowed, the death rate from COVID goes up. Bullshit! Yeah I'm not buying that. I have not heard or seen a single report about a restaurant

53:15 where someone died after contracting COVID from their indoor dining experience. And so what research suggests that it appears to be like this? Yes, please. Horrible, horrible people should not be giving these reports again. I would refer back to South Africa where they actually look at these things as positive. They say well the numbers are going down and said been eight weeks we're gonna just pull back on all this stuff because it looks good now. No no us is whoa any minute now it's gonna jump back up we're gonna have a fourth surge yeah for search Now, what is no longer focused on is where did this come from? Was it from the lab? They jumped to humans. What did they jump from a bat or pangolin and how can you give it to gorilla not worry about jumping back to a pangolin I don't know but back in 2018 Fauci already understood the importance of these types of viruses

Wuhan Lab Security and 2018 Fauci Interview

A 2018 interview with Anthony Fauci discussed the risks of weaponized microbes and the "culture of responsibility" required in high-containment labs. Critics point to Fauci's association with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which has been rated poorly for security, as a potential source for the COVID-19 outbreak.

wuhan· china· anthony fauci· biodefense· lab leak

54:12 and was interviewed about it. Well, there certainly is a risk and that's the reason why back in 2001 after 9-11 when we had the anthrax attacks even though that turned out to be homegrown terrorists. We put an extraordinary amount of money investment in developing a biodefense effort which is very closely aligned with what we do against naturally occurring microbes. But the indirect answer to your question, there certainly is a risk which we have to be prepared for

54:59 that certain microbes can be weaponized. Oh, and was he prepared? But there's a part of me that wonders... I mean there is lot of trust in terms of people don't go rogue whether it is with smallpox or anthrax. The trust factor isn't an important element to this Well its more complicated than just trust Trust is important but what we've tried to do among the recent Wait a minute! What is he saying?! It's more important than trust? What? I mean the trust factor is an important element in this. Well it, it...it's more complicated than just trust. Trust is important! What can be more complicated than trust?! Hmm

55:40 But what we've tried to do among the researchers who are in good faith working in the field, is to create what we call a culture of responsibility. Meaning you don't do anything reckless. You don't do an experiment that might accidentally go awry when you do experiments with agents that could be dangerous to the community, you do it under the appropriate containment facilities. And that's the reason why we've built those around. Wuhan baby! Yeah well he is associated with that place Totally He signed off on it, he signed a check and its considered one of the least secure of all high end labs in China Yes Perhaps in the world It's rated poorly

56:31 And so they created this thing in the lab, it got out and you know somebody walked out with it. You know like Homer Simpson with the atomic rod on his back pretty much and that's what happened. Nobody was going to admit because it is careless, looks suspicious I don't know that the Chinese, this is a real flaw of the Chinese system. Is this inability to be honest with people? Yeah they're so accustomed to lying generalizing here but i think that is kind of something that we know

Vaccine Skepticism in France

A 2019 Gallup study revealed that France has the highest level of vaccine skepticism in the world, with 33% of the population disagreeing that vaccines are safe. This deep-rooted cultural distrust complicates the current European rollout of COVID-19 immunizations.

france· vaccine safety· gallup study· public health

57:11 Okay, a couple more things. Oh yeah probably first the French are bad, French are lame, French no good. As you heard there lots of fear but there's nothing really new here at Florence because vaccine skepticism runs rather deep in France It sure does! France repeatedly tops the charts for instance in early 2019 there was a global Gallup study on public attitudes towards science and health. And you can see here, when asked whether vaccines are safe French people disagreed the most out of 140 countries 33% of people in France disagree that vaccines are safe But did you notice the emphasis? I thought it was almost end-of-show worthy 33 percent of people 33 percent of people 33 percent of people Testing testing testing one two three not without its risks

COVID Nasal Swab Injury and Spinal Fluid Leak

Shari Tem of San Antonio required surgery after a routine COVID-19 nasal swab ruptured her dural membrane, causing a spinal fluid leak and pneumocephalus. The rare injury has led to calls for more careful administration of tests or the use of oral swabs instead of deep nasal penetration.

shari tem· covid test· pneumocephalus· medical injury· san antonio

58:05 Who knew that this could happen and so close to home? New tonight, a woman says a routine COVID nasal swab test has led to excruciating pain and the need for surgery to repair the damage. This after Shari Tem went to have a routine COVID test she was in need of a heart diagnostic tests and protocol states she had to test negative for COVID before they could run any test I might as well say trigger warning because it triggered me. He says the swab was inserted in her nose She instantly felt pain started from the back of my head just extended to the front of my head and just my entire brain Was an extreme pain Instantly is well

58:43 There was a fluid just leaking from my nose. Shari was leaking spinal fluid, a neurologist for Methodists and an ear, nose and throat doctor diagnosed her with pneumocephalus days later This is when there has been a rupture in the dural membrane or the lining that's around the brain which allows air to enter The space that's normally occupied by the head experts say it's rare surprised it happened The patients are asked to tilt their head back, and the electric vectoring is more parallel to the nostril or bridge of the nose is what's followed. And that's what can bring that swab much higher up and put you in range of potentially having that COVID swab then rupture. Fortunately there is a procedure to fix the hole. That would be a laparoscopy while it's unlikely it'll happen to you if you feel uncomfortable when getting swabs speak up

59:34 I have a spinal fluid leaking out of my nose. I'd like to speak up the San Antonio Which brings back? I'm gonna bring back this thing I brought it up once before if the mouth contains so much kovat that any cough or sneeze and sometimes you could be loaded to the gills with Kovat in the mouth Why don't you test them out for the kovat what why is it got to be that stupid swab wait where are you going back there for now, I agree It certainly makes me not want to let someone else administer one of these tests on me. I don't like that... Oh! Well, speaking of- I have not been tested and I don't see any reason why you should be. No, well, I have been tested once but it was just in the front of my nose but it was a Rogan test so who knows? Vacation planned April 6th to April 13th.

Sir Paul couture, and how you tracked him down He was in the wind what happened there or did just magically come back

1:04:56 He magically came back. Oh, okay So there's no good story huh? And I couldn't get it come away Yeah, there's a couple good stories but I don't does not they're not verified so okay That was good stories yeah, so there's not that much to Bitch and moan about other than just thank him for the excellent work Let me see what was oh yeah this was the 33 We titled the show Freedom Bracelet. It was the 33 fudge numbers, which was a perfect no agenda piece of art and as many likely fellow artists noticed too much to their chagrin once again it was the red background that did it! No I don't think so either technically speaking the best background for art or anything if you want to really get attention is yellow

1:05:59 Is that so? It's been studied actually. We had a super fudgy star that was in yellow on the... So, the background about the yellow background for packaging this was studied by Lotus development when they were in business before IBM bought them and they did a massive study with the aid of, it wasn't Hill & Knowlton but was one of the big PR companies. And they determined people should, and it's been publicized but people still don't pay attention to it that your best box if you're gonna sell boxes software nowadays nobody does that in the day. You want a big yellow box?

1:06:36 with big black lettering. It's just that simple and how does that measure up against Apple with their black and white lettering? Did it will outperform on a blind if he was all the exact same product in those different packaging the yellow we outperform outperform it hmm people are attracted to that particular combination for sing I was talking with producer Jack who Was working on the NFT for The No Agenda Show And by now I'm sure you've heard this NFT everywhere, John. You can't avoid it. It's out of control! And uh...I had dinner last night with a top Hollywood executive who happens to live in Austin and his company is doing it too and this is millions and millions of dollars so Jack has said look I've set up, you know, you guys can do this

CHAPTER 23 / 50 Discussion

No Agenda NFT Strategy and Art Generator

The hosts discuss the explosion of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) in the art world, comparing the trend to the Beanie Babies craze. They jokingly propose a "pump and dump" scheme for No Agenda show art to benefit the producers, while pointing listeners to the No Agenda Art Generator for digital collectibles.

1:07:31 with show art and he's already set up one example. And I thought by myself, so I've been looking into this. This is whereas we thought Bitcoin was beanie babies, this NFT stuff it's truly the analog. It is the beanie babies of cryptocurrency and it's very scammy. And after some research my initial thought was we really want nothing to do with this. And then I thought wait a minute What if all of the producers what if we all got in on the scam because you can program who gets what when you sell it and We drive this thing up like crazy and sell it all to some suckers Who think that this thing is hot even though? It's really just a complete pump-and-dump by the no agenda nation

1:08:20 Yeah. Like collusion, full-on insider trading? I mean can we do this? It's called conspiracy to commit a felony! It's not a felony what you mean?! it will be... No! We can get in under the wire if we do it now You're no fun. I'm game for this by the way, I'm not completely objecting to it. So we've got to work it out a little bit but in essence we just have to get people buying and selling this and tapping it up a little bit every single time And until some sucker comes in, and you have to have trust in the group. You have to have trust that if someone buys something for 500 bucks that there will be someone there who's going to buy it for 501 because that person will know. So we all have to have some kind of code so we can identify fellow travelers and the minute your above let's say $10,000... It sounds like your starting a communist party when your doing this I'm sorry, exit strategy! I need a vacation

1:09:23 Noahjenderartgenerator.com for all your NFT joy and thank you to all the artists who have already started piling, and I can't wait to see what we can choose for artwork after today for episode 1327 Now let's thank our executive producers and associate executive producers they are one of the T's in The Time, the talent and treasure that we love to receive in our value-for-value network And uh...we kick it off with...who do we kick it off with here?

Type 1 Diabetes and Viral Triggers

A nurse contributor suggests that Type 1 diabetes can be triggered by viral insults, specifically enteroviruses like SARS-CoV-2. The segment also notes that Merriam-Webster has officially recognized the word "anyways" as proper usage, much to the chagrin of linguistic traditionalists.

1:24:25 The current school of thought is T1DM, type 1 diabetes mellitus is an autoimmune disease triggered by a viral insult. The most likely culprit appears to be a type of and terovirus, which are the same types as SARS-CoV2. Most have heard that the vaccine is RNA based and viruses are essentially little pieces of RNA DNA in a protein envelope. These little fellows, enteroviruses can also cause viral encephalitis and severe symptoms... And the severe symptoms are confusion speech and hearing difficulty we had that with our ENT guy

1:25:21 loss of sensation and seizures which could fit Chad's complaints. I'm not saying the vaccine did it, but you can form your own hypothesis. Yeah. Boots on the ground report no mask mandate in my state for about three weeks now and the COVID cases take up only six beds out of 200! And our hospital now allows visitors in Hmm.

IBM and the Development of Vaccine Passports

Tech analysts are discussing the implementation of digital vaccine passports for travel and concerts, with IBM emerging as a lead developer. Critics point to IBM's historical involvement in tracking populations during World War II, as documented by author Edwin Black, as a reason for concern regarding modern digital health passes.

ibm· vaccine passport· edwin black· qr codes· digital tracking

1:31:30 Gorilla Glass, unboxing. What else do we have? Hands-on first time integration really cool features and we already discussed that the vaccine passport should be foreboding until we have something that is officially approved by the Federal Drug Administration Food and Drug Administration Until then it should not happen But it can't go fast enough for these techno boys. Listen how cool it's gonna be! And Mike Murphy at Protocol takes a look at the race to build vaccine passports. If the prognosticators are right, and at least here in the US, the supply ramp-up is going so well that hopefully every adult that wants a vaccine can get one by June... The next question will become, well summer vacations? How can you prove that you have a vaccine in order to get on a plane or go to a concert or do whatever?!

1:32:27 Should it be a piece of paper, an app on your phone, QR codes? Maybe something on the blockchain?" Mike looks at all these possible solutions. Quote, You walk to work, still masked of course. Scan a QR code reader in the lobby and are let in! You go out for lunch and your loyalty card app has a discount for in-store shoppers verifying they're vaccinated Your concert ticket is also tied to health pass information that you shared earlier in the day with Ticketmaster But there are more than a few hurdles ahead of companies rushing to turn these concepts into realities

1:33:06 Something I learned from this piece is that places like Hawaii are considering requiring visitors from the mainland to have some form of vaccination passport. So keep that in mind when considering your summer plans." Yes, it's gonna be so great! It's going to integrate with my loyalty points and it's gonna be green so that I get rewards and I will have to lock down less days in the future because I was a good doobie—I was a green doobie! That's where it's goin'. That's what this thing's gonna be used for—green passport. Reject the green passport RGP? I can't believe these guys. They're giddy about this! Yeah, oh they're jacked! Oh it's so cool, oh yeah that paper he refers to i put in the show notes is interesting talking about how this is all going to integrate and the kicker is...the funniest thing we can't bring up often enough

1:33:59 One of the driving forces now behind the back end of what is supposed to be the definitive vaccine passport, is none other than the people tracking company themselves IBM. And for those of you who are not familiar with the history, IBM built machines and punch cards specifically in World War II for the Nazi party to track Jews In fact, isn't a friend of yours who did the doc wrote the book on it or did the documentary? Yeah. The big book Yeah What's his name again Ed black ed black yeah and no one brings this up except us No, of course they don't they used to we brought up a lot I mean I'd be if you're right for ed Blackie used to run their OS 2 magazines none of those little things I Don't even should be by don't even have it on my bio. I probably should put it on there. Yeah, but Yeah good guy

1:34:58 Is he still alive? I believe so. He keeps doing the same kind of...he does a lot of deep dives into things that are like... He pops up every 10 years with a book Yeah, because it's one of those guys who instead of having the CIA write his books for him Yes which is one way to go You could do that and be a lot more productive. You can be very productive, you can do a book a year that way Yeah But he says he doesn't have the CIA writing his books for him His books come out once every five or six years because he actually has to write the damn thing What else is he done then? What other... Oh I-you know like He's done half dozen books that are really outstanding I don't have the titles at top of my head And he hasn't sent me an autographed copy of any of them so I'm kind of worried about that Well he's off the list

Joe Biden's COVID-19 Death Count Rhetoric

President Joe Biden frequently references the number of "empty chairs" at breakfast tables to illustrate the COVID-19 death toll. Critics argue this rhetoric creates unnecessary fear in children, making them believe they are responsible for the potential deaths of their elderly relatives.

1:35:42 He's 70. I'll track him down and get copies. Okay, good good good I think it's time for a little Joe Biden. It's Sunday, Sunday means Biden. Hold on don't we have a jingle for Joe? Yeah here we go this is it. He's a little bit creepy but mostly just sleepy. It's Sleepy Creepy Uncle Joe Biden Come on man!

For over a year the American people were told they were on their own they were seeing uh we've seen how hard that has been on so many Americans

1:36:45 As of last night, 519,064 lives lost to the virus. That many empty chairs this morning at the breakfast table How many, how many chairs are in this breakfast room? A lot. Wow! You know I... This to me is when President Trump said bullshit or other things that people just aghast that their children had heard this

1:37:23 What President Biden is doing. There are children who are so afraid that if they do something wrong, if their mask slips off their nose, that grandma will die or maybe even their parents! There's report after report you can find about this. It makes me mad But there was a little thing he added that at the very end of that, he goes on to say something else. This is the empty chairs 400 and this one you know if this was The Washington Post it was Trump all lies lies He's so wrong but listen to this and tell me where you think the mistake is being made here gone for them four hundred small businesses closed unnecessarily

Biden's 400 Businesses Claim and Verbal Gaffes

During a recent speech, President Biden claimed that only 400 small businesses had closed unnecessarily, a figure significantly lower than actual economic data suggests. The segment also highlights Biden's verbal struggles with terms like "private equity" and his confusion regarding the number of children in a family of four.

Okay, hold on now we have to talk about something because now the media is really... they're not even correcting and saying that the president meant something else for it or whatever he meant Kamala Vice President Harris is always pretty nearby and I think Joe was going to make

1:39:00 till the end of summer. They're going to pull him! Yeah, you can put that in the book now I have not done this yet but i see Jo up there there's a number of cases where she's standing to his right behind him wearing all black and a face mask with her black hair she looks like a terrorist She has a hammer and sickle She looks like Al Qaeda, so I'm gonna take that and photoshop in the ISIS flag behind the two of them. It'll look just like an ISIS meeting Can you Photoshop in a random person in orange jumpsuit?

1:39:43 Yeah, of course I can. I'm fire! I don't want to overdo it. Okay well it's just a suggestion artistic creativity you know so the 400 you know nobody says anything about that so let's listen to a couple of sentences here oh he did sentences yeah he actually does them This was kind of confusing. He corrected himself, so I'm not going to give him too much grief on this one then the last one I had is the second to last. This is a Biden three kids clip for typical middle class family for husband and wife working making $100000 year total with three kids will get 5600 dollar. I mean with two kids we get $5600 and will be on the way soon at five or four or two but it's help us coming

1:40:36 He starts up a family of four with three kids. That's what he said! Play it again For typical middle class family of four, husband and wife working making $100,000 dollars a year total With three kids Hey that's five! That's not a family of four, that's five Joe They'll get 5600 dollar I mean with two kids we get 5600 dollars It will be on the way soon But he always corrects it down the road, which is interesting. There's got to be some mechanism either in his brain Which is the most likely I was right that in his brain? Yeah Sadly we just had that again with The actress who I Hillary swank. I'm not gonna forget her now so there is No, there is just age stuff going ruins the bit if you remember her name

1:41:31 That's right, man. It's a bit yeah sure okay, it's a bit Yeah Good set John good set Okay now this is the one that just this is the real eye roll I just got a big kick out of this This is the WTF clip the vast majority of economists left right and center from Wall Street to the Private, uh... economic polling initiatives. Whoa! That was the doozy of all doozies I'd say bend over you deserve this one Wow he couldn't even say private equity

CHAPTER 31 / 50 Discussion

Private Economic Polling Initiatives and Kamala Harris

The hosts mock President Biden's reference to "private economic polling initiatives," a phrase that appears to have no real-world basis. They also discuss Vice President Kamala Harris's increasing role in foreign policy, including her direct calls to world leaders like Benjamin Netanyahu.

joe biden· kamala harris· polling· economic initiatives· satire

1:42:22 He said polling. Initiatives! This is a... Repeat, repeat! The vast majority of economists left right and center from Wall Street to the private... You know what? When he says from Wall Street to me the next sentence would be To shining sea I mean that's almost what it sounds like The vast majority of economists left right and center From wall street to shining sea private and private economic polling initiatives. The private economic polling initiatives, the peppy. That's some sort of economist? The private economic polling initiatives? Well before we laugh at the old man let's just look it up we could be dumb. Private polling wait...

1:43:13 Private, was it private economic? Economic. Or was it economic polling initiatives? We need to understand what the president is saying that mainstream media's not helping us. Private...private uh...uh...economic polling initiatives. Okay. Private economic polling initiatives. You know, it's probably a thing we're probably just idiots It could be but I don't think so Business and Economics Polling Initiative? That's Florida Atlantic University. That doesn't seem very... No, there is no! The only thing that pops up is the transcript of the president's number one hit his remarks by President Biden on Senate passage Wow he made something up completely we should just start that organization

1:44:18 Yes, we're endorsed by President Biden. What would it do? That's what I'd like to know! Charge money... To give up- Charge money for what?! ...to write newsletters Come on John you know how we do this It's not a bad idea. Because we can do polling, we'll do polling! Biden has already blessed us. Private economic polling initiatives... Yes hi I'm Adam Curry i am the co-founder of the private economic polling initiatives and we've done a poll and uh we do that in a very sophisticated manner in what we call the troller room We have a special system troller room And we just ask our trolls what they want

1:45:00 This is good, man. This is good. Kamala on deck! She's on deck she's dressed like a ninja more than a terrorist. And she'll just be there all of the sudden...she's already taking calls! She's calling BB. Hey Bibi it's Kamala you know cuz Joe was not available. KH. Oh do you think that's what it is? Hey Biebs. It's gotta be. I don't care. So so Biden doesn't do the press conferences yet and we're still not done one, but Saki's there she's doing it

CHAPTER 32 / 50 Discussion

Jen Psaki on Border Policy and Trump

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki dismissed immigration advice from former President Trump, labeling his previous policies as inhumane. Psaki emphasized that the Biden administration is charting a new path focused on treating children at the border with respect, despite ongoing surges in crossings.

jen psaki· immigration· donald trump· border crisis· white house

1:45:39 And she gets a little miffed about this particular one, this question that comes out of the blue. This is Jen Psaki on immigration and Trump. A lot of Americans are saying that surges are happening under President Biden's watch after he reversed some previous policies so Does the administration take any accountability for what's happening? Who are the Americans? Well, I know you don't want to answer to him but the former president just released a statement saying that the Biden administration must act immediately to end the border nightmare that they have unleashed on our nation. Former President Trump? Yes

1:46:20 We don't take our advice or counsel from former President Trump on immigration policy, which was not only inhumane but ineffective over the last four years. We're going to chart our own path forward and that includes treating children with humanity and respect and ensuring they're safe when they cross our borders. Children 17 18 19 21 year old men children No, she's not happy about that. I got two more Saki ones if you want to hear them Yeah no we love hearing about Jean Here's Saki's whoops mix-up It's addressing the threat of climate, whether it is economic partnership and relationships. And we'll continue to do that. We also have conversations about access to COVID, access to vaccines and... You got one! Nice! I got one! Well hold on a second, I gotta relabel this one so they know that its part of the mega mix you know? If I didn't know what your labels were I would've used them

CHAPTER 33 / 50 Discussion

Microsoft Exchange Server Breach and China Chopper

A massive security breach affecting over 30,000 Microsoft Exchange servers has been attributed to a Chinese state-sponsored group known as Hafnium. While the White House expressed concern over the "active threat," Press Secretary Jen Psaki notably avoided naming China as the culprit during her press briefing.

microsoft· exchange server· china· hacking· hafnia· jen psaki

1:47:24 COVID gaff. It's that simple. Yes, it's literally that simple. And then there is this other one which just became a different story which I did some research on This is interesting to me. This is the question that was asked about, this is the most recent press conference by the way. This was asked about the Microsoft breach, the big exchange server. Oh yeah! The exchange server... Yeah it's a big deal. Something happened 30 thousand exchange servers at least minimum according to real experts were affected I guess we should just say that

1:48:00 Microsoft is a big government supplier. Government's all around the world, the Exchange server is in many ways the living breathing heart of an organization particularly when you're using Microsoft products because everything ties into the exchange server and Are you going like that? Yeah, because I can't find my sheet. That's got my Cribs notes on the On this problem here You go look and I'll keep talking so it's gotta keep talk as much as you can never mind why should I? info out there. Like I found it everything's tied into Exchange server the teams, the meetings the calendaring all of this stuff all messaging you ask any dude named Ben hey how much fun did you have configuring exchange server and you'll find out how much fun they have doing it is daunting but if that gets compromised

1:49:03 I mean, it's just imagine what you can really get on email. And for some reason Microsoft, I don't think builds in encryption automatically why would they do that as a government contractor? So what did you read this paragraph? Microsoft attributed the Exchange server hacking operation to Chinese state-sponsored actors they dubbed Halfnium. The researchers who spoke to Brian Krebs claimed as many as a hundred thousand servers may have been breached more than 100,000 is little more than 30. Wow

1:49:40 Hammond noted that the breaches appeared to be so untargeted, I guess it was just a shotgun effect. Yeah worm. That several servers appear to host more than one version of... in other words they've gotten multiple versions of this problem It's a web shell You mean variants? Variants! And it is called the China Chopper Nice Now the reason I mention this is because yeah we know why Well, because it's no you know actually you don't yeah I do but go ahead the reason. I mentioned this is because here's a question that Saki has asked about it and I only play if I only have 52 seconds of this clip But I can assure you that the entire

1:50:24 discussion which didn't go that long maybe three minutes she never once mentioned China she refused to mention China exactly you have a statement out from Jake Sullivan last night online about the Microsoft related breach I'm just curious if that affected any government computers, departments agencies And any more color detail around this? Sure. This isn't, and for anyone who didn't see National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan's tweet last night he spoke to the Microsoft breach that has been reported but this is a significant vulnerability that could have far reaching impacts first and foremost this is an active threat

1:51:06 And as the National Security Advisor tweeted last night, everyone running these servers government private sector academia needs to act now to patch them. We are concerned that there are a large number of victims and we're working with our partners to understand the scope of this so it's an ongoing process Trevor I would say. Okay, so why not pin it on Russia? What why aren't they doing the Russia thing? It's too late. They didn't have this one under control This one's real Microsoft already said it was China blew it yeah, and I've now that bite administration They won't even mention China in any negative sense well I feel that you know You should treat this virus as any other viral insult mm-hmm and They should talk about variants not versions variants

CHAPTER 34 / 50 Discussion

Adam Curry Refutes Minnesota Post Gopher Article

The Minnesota Post published an article about the Gopher Protocol that Adam Curry claims is factually incorrect regarding his involvement. Curry clarifies that he wore a Gopher t-shirt on MTV not as a promotion, but as part of a legal settlement with the University of Minnesota to waive a $5,000 commercial licensing fee for his use of the software.

gopher protocol· university of minnesota· mtv· adam curry· fake news

1:51:57 And they should, it should be racist to say the Chinese virus. China chopper super racist. But it's a great show title we all know that feels good. Feels real good there. Damn Jen. Although you know I'm still kind of leaning toward Bojo the Jabber. It's short enough. Um...I want to do a little fake news! There is something I can prove as fake? Fake news Just to show you how bad journalism is, what's the... it has a name when you read something in the newspaper that you are an expert at or it's about you and it's wrong. And therefore you can never take any news story seriously again? Isn't there term for that? Yeah, It's called I Won't Be Fooled Again Okay

1:52:55 The Minnesota Post wrote a very long and glowing story about, in their business section the rise and fall of the Gopher Protocol. And what? Yes. Why because it's you know, it was developed at University of Minnesota Okay and and the and now this this is not a brand new story But I went viral all of a sudden because like oh wow, you're like that you were the king of gopher Thank you So this is my point um, and there's a very long article and they've got pictures and everything Uh now just so everyone knows

1:53:38 Tim Berners-Lee invented the idea of hyperlinking and the Gopher protocol was one of the first ones to really implement it at scale. And when you logged into Gopher, and you type in your terminal Gopher, and it'll bring up a top level list that you could manipulate that but if it was your university would have all these different places you could go to just a list... It was non GUI by the way? No, it was arrow keys or your JFK, H-J-K-L keys, so people use their arrows. So if you tab arrow down it goes down to the right and go to the right to whatever that link was and I loved it because there was no web at the time that was like holy shit! I'm connecting into a whole different computer seamlessly because understood what's happening

1:54:22 And so I created, I registered MTV.com we've told that story a million times and I set up a Gopher server and you know I just had little pages of stuff and couple of pictures and it was just kind of fun little project Now let me read to you what the Minnesota Post in all their... now not that they called me they put a picture of me in there and everything They did? Oh yeah! They put a picture of you Yeah, well tell you why Because you're the only known user of Gopher? Here it is. In the years that followed, the future seemed obvious The number of Gopher users expanded at orders of magnitude more than the World Wide Web Gopher developers held gatherings around the country called Gophercons and issued a Gopher T-shirt worn by MTV VJ Adam Curry when he announced the network's Gopher site Fact check false Complete bullshit Minnesota Post

1:55:24 What happened was quite the opposite. Wait a minute, stop! They must have just misunderstood you after they called you and asked you about this And put my picture because there's a video on YouTube of me wearing the gopher T-shirt They took a screenshot of that put it in the article Well what did you tell them when they called? Well if they had called I could have told him something but now they decided that this was the story Okay So they didn't call at all. They just did it well so what's insulting is A When the network launched its service, MTV.com... Excuse me! MTV.com I registered that MTV allowed me to have it they didn't give a shit because they were on AOL They had the AOL keywords and that was totally my own deal And it was years later than MTV.com

1:56:10 reverted back to them. So that's not true, there was no launch of MTV.com with Gopher and I don't want them getting that credit because they completely were against me doing it well they let me do it but they're like who gives a shit? They did not care the most forward-looking cool media company in the world in fact was retarded that way too! 2.) I didn't wear the T-shirt when launching any service I got an email from the University of Minnesota that said, you are using our software in a commercial manner. You need to pay us $5,000 license and i replied dude I'm doing this on my own! I don't have five thousand dollars for this it's just...I'm just having fun with some shit I'm doing on the air we went back and forth and they agreed in writing

1:57:02 If I would wear the Gopher t-shirt on MTV, they would waive the $5,000 fee. That's the story. Arguably much better than this piece of fluff in The Minnesota Post! It's a lot better story it's a great story and it shows what a bunch of douchebags they are Exactly exactly so That's why I do this show. That's a shameful... well again, like you said it is the problem with the media yeah they don't do a very good job of anything nope nothing they don't care They don't care. They don't care. You nailed it Just like they don't care about what's going on with Texas Energy I'm just going to wager you didn't hear any reports about these 16 billion dollars that no one can pay for here

CHAPTER 35 / 50 Discussion

Texas Energy Market Collapse and Windmill Futures

The Texas energy market is facing a $16 billion crisis following the winter storm, with several companies filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The financial failure was exacerbated by windmill operators who were forced to buy energy at $9,000 per megawatt-hour to fulfill futures contracts when their own equipment froze.

texas· ercot· energy market· bankruptcy· windmills· futures contracts

1:57:47 There are three companies that are now chapter 11 and out of business. And the funniest one of them all is the company, or a company whoever owns most of the windmills that froze They are in serious financial trouble. Why? Not because they couldn't deliver energy, because they had promised with a futures contract to deliver X amount of energy at x price and so they wound up having to buy that energy to supply it for instead of $25, $9000!

1:58:26 This is falling apart. These companies... That is what, by the way if you want to trade in futures this can happen to anybody Yes! And so there's companies with a 1-1-1.8 billion dollar hole and it's a mess and some of these now of course there are going to be some acquisitions Nobody said anything. I've heard about a couple of the companies going out of business, but in kind of a passing way all look at these companies went out of business we haven't heard any of this and the windmill story is dynamite. And you have to understand that this problem did not have to happen it was purely the hedging in the market This is too dangerous! This cannot be done in this manner It's the Enron system only now its been legalized

1:59:13 And, and... this is only about greed. That's the only- people died because of it! And that's a story they don't want to tell Eventually something will come out I'm sure Well there should be some wrongful death suits Oh i'm sure there will be Well, we're talking about energy. We mentioned earlier Bitcoin is still around 50... what is it? 51 thousand fifty? Fifty thousand five hundred. You can bet on it going up when you see 1.9 trillion dollars being approved by the Senate so it starts to quietly walk up as some would say and the minute the House reconciles that then I think you'll see another increase that's just

CHAPTER 36 / 50 Discussion

Bitcoin Energy Consumption and Green Podcast Certification

The BBC reported that Bitcoin mining consumes more electricity than the entire US federal budget, a claim the hosts counter by noting the rise of off-grid mining using flared methane. In response to "green" shaming, the hosts jokingly propose a "PEED" certification for podcasts that keep their episodes short to save energy.

bitcoin· energy· bbc· podcasting 2.0· green energy

2:00:03 the Bitcoin economics of money printer go brr and the BBC has been drafted to you know combat this scourge, the scourge known as bitcoin. And they've got a traditional angle which is being played a lot these days As the price of bitcoin rises more miners want to get in on the game but when that happens the system is designed to make the number harder to guess so computing effort increases Bitcoin miners are currently reckoned to be making 150 quintillion calculations a second. That is a billion billion! So if you're wondering what that sound is, well you'd need to ramp that up to more than 340 beats per second

2:00:54 and then play it every second since the universe formed 13.8 billion years ago to reach 150 quintillion, and that is how many calculations all those miners are doing in one second! Unsurprisingly that uses a lot of electricity. And two-thirds of the energy used is reckoned to be created from polluting fossil fuels so what does its energy consumption tell us about Bitcoin's future? Alex de Vries is the founder of the DigiEconomy website and has been studying the currency for last few years. If bitcoin were to be adopted as a global reserve currency those miners will have more money than the entire US federal budget

2:01:38 on electricity. We'd have to double our global energy production for Bitcoin." A good currency should be an effective means of exchange and a stable store of value, says Kenneth Rogoff professor of economics at Harvard University and a former chief economist at the International Monetary Fund he argues bitcoin fails on both It counts. Yes, one rich person sells it to another but that's not a final use and without that it really doesn't have a long-term future Since so many people are always asking me about Bitcoin, let me just give you two quick notes about this particular anti-Bitcoin statement which is it uses too much energy. And there's a million different ways you can talk about what uses too much energy etc but interesting to note is that most mining is now actually being presented as very

2:02:34 environmentally friendly because they're going off grid. They're taking containers filled with machines, it's all modular. They go to the gas drilling sites and the methane that they would otherwise burn off because it's not profitable to send that methane which I think is really high you would know better than I do John really high quality or whatever burns like crazy They would flare that off. And so now, instead of flaring it off they're using that to mine Bitcoin and so that's changing but I had a dear...I would like to go with this and i think we should look at everything in our green economy We should look at everything this way How much electricity does it cost to do that? You can shame people on that! If you are a podcaster

2:03:30 and you're worried about how much electricity is being wasted, you need to make shorter podcasts. Much much shorter! All podcasts for green energy should be no longer than 15 minutes really. We should have a green podcast it's a good should have a label we should set up an exit strategy Yeah, oh my god green green podcast. No no we need a word Green Podcast seal of approval podcast Podcast Greene podcast certified now it has to be something better than that come on It would be doing take us more in a few minutes the dream something up that would work

2:04:08 And you being the inventor of the process and the promoter of Podcasting 2.0, you're in a perfect position to be part of this? Yes! What does LEED stand for? LEED is the certification right? What? LEED that's the Certification for Buildings Leadership and Energy in Environmental Design. That they have the certification so maybe we should just make it PEED there ya go No, that doesn't sound. PEED! That's it exactly. P-E-E-D? Your podcast is peed certified. Nice. Yeah

2:04:48 We need a logo. It needs to look like the lead logo or it'll just say Pee. No, it needs to look you know that little kid thats on the back of vans thats peeing on something? Or like the little guy- There's your logo right there we just licensed that! You too can have an official piss pod I mean it just keeps writing itself John Oh yeah Okay potential exit strategy ladies and gentlemen we're doing really good this show And I need one because the other day at breakfast, the keeper my lovely wife was writing and we haven't even started my coffee. She says you know we should do some axe throwing and that was a little startling to me

CHAPTER 37 / 50 Discussion

Andrew Cuomo Sexual Harassment Allegations and Training

Former assistant Charlotte Bennett detailed allegations of sexual harassment against New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, claiming he groomed her and made inappropriate sexual propositions. It was also revealed that Cuomo likely had an aide complete his mandatory sexual harassment training for him in 2019.

andrew cuomo· sexual harassment· charlotte bennett· new york· investigation

2:05:34 She good with throwing an axe? I don't know, but who comes up with that. It takes some skill to do it right. She wants to throw axes! Like... Do you still love me?! Just wanna understand what's going on here. You'd better throw them at each other. Oh okay. And got that out of the way. Nice. One more before our- I do want to play these uh and i'm going to mention something are you bitched about my Cuomo clips oh i'm sorry i did not intend to bitch But your complaint was not unusual. It was the, oh this is a distraction! This is what the right-wingers are all saying. Yeah well I'm clearly a Republican

2:06:15 Well, no the right-wingers say it. The Republicans I don't know what they say but they say this and i'm going to push back on that because the reason for doing this or going after him uh on this sex thing again to quit is if you don't get him out of this office he's gonna be hard too... Because he still got the controls his hands are still in their controls You're gonna have a hard time inditing him Do you want to knock him down out of the office and then you can go after him for murder? You got it. Okay, do you think that's the strategy I Has to be huh but so I have two more clips part of this And this is the in this interview with his first accuser And this is done with Nora nor does this oh yeah, no, it's not that great But you can see For one thing

2:07:09 You do see that this woman is sincere, you know this is what happened and you know the guy's a douchebag. And he just... He has got to quit! But let us play these two clips. Turning now to our exclusive interview with Governor Andrew Cuomo's former assistant Charlotte Bennett says New York's governor sexually harassed her and that he was trying to sleep with her. Tonight Bennett tells CBS News who she reported her claims too and what happened next I was nervous. I was emotional days after Bennett says Governor Cuomo harassed her, she reported it to his chief of staff saying she no longer wanted to work directly for him what happened during that meeting?

2:07:51 And pretty quickly just said, I love working here. I love you guys but the governor crossed a line with me last week and she asked me what I was referring to and he said he was lonely. He said he wanted a girlfriend. He asked if I had slept with older men. He said that he was willing to sleep with younger women and at that point that was enough for her. She's like what can we do? Two days later, she says she was transferred to a new job. It felt to me like if I got a new job we didn't have to investigate this and i really did not want it to be investigated. I was terrified you were happy with the deal yeah but after the meeting Bennett texted her mom saying she felt quote happy and relieved and sad he shouldn't have robbed this experience or this path from me

2:08:41 Then on June 30th, Bennett was called into another meeting. This time with the governor's chief of staff and general counsel It was a long and thorough conversation What was the reaction? At first they apologized They said it was inappropriate When I asked them if they could let it go Saying that I don't want this to be investigated Please drop this Because you know...I was scared She said You came to us before anything serious happened It was just grooming and it was not yet considered sexual harassment. So for that we do not need to investigate Deborah Katz represents Bennett in New York State's independent investigation when she said I am terrified I don't want you to investigate what they should have said is we have a legal duty to investigate What a mess

2:09:32 Oh yeah, it's getting better. There is a third party that came out too with something but it's less... It's little more minor but I think they'll find somebody else the guys are douchebags but let's go to part two Let's honor all the women who have suffered. In 2019, the governor signed into law an amendment making it easier to prove sexual harassment. The law he signed himself makes clear that sexual harassment includes creating conditions that make someone feel uncomfortable because you're sexually propositioning them. Governor Cuomo was a champion of a law that made it easier for women to claim sexual harassment. That's correct." He also mandated employees in the state take sexual harassment training on Wednesday, the governor was asked if he took the training. The short answer is yes In 2019, he did not take the sexual harassment training

2:10:27 How do you know that? I was there. I heard Stephanie say, I can't believe i'm doing this for you. Oh! And making a joke about the fact that she was completing the training for him and then I heard her at the end ask him to sign the certificate in a statement. Stephanie Benton Cuomo's office director categorically denies the exchange and says this is not true What do you think should happen to Andrew Cuomo? So I think he should start telling the truth. I'm really confident in this investigation but if If this investigation finds that he has conducted himself this way, which he absolutely has because I have contemporaneous evidence. He should step down. Boom! Wow... So he didn't even take- This is by the way- It's the same test I didn't take. No it was the same test I didn't take go ahead say it. This is the same test I took and you were quomoing this thing. NO because I didn't have someone take it for me

California Workplace Law and Public Company Liability

A discussion on the absurdity of California's workplace harassment laws highlights how simple compliments can lead to corporate lawsuits. The hosts recount experiences from taking a company public on the NASDAQ, where lawyers would wait outside offices to solicit grievances from employees to trigger insurance payouts.

2:11:28 I did not have someone take it from me. Okay, fine point. Fine point. Point of order. Point taken. Point of personal privilege It's a point... yeah you didn't have it You're right, you didn't bluff your way through with the bullcrap somebody else gave you Like you did? I did not! I took it Yeah, you- You know what I did though because I wanted to get through it real quick This is just for anybody out there who was.. I had a number of multiple screens open so I could have the ti- Ohhhh right If you have the computing power, you can do this test and get through it really quick because you have multiple screens open. And you can check yourself and you can pre-take the test while taking it. It's just a complicated matter but I did take it and I did have to... The stuff that's in this test is enough to make your hair stand on end. You can be sued or I've seen you in many situations where you could've been sued

2:12:24 But you could be standing outside your company, in California by the way. This is California only You could be standing outside your company Outside! Outside the door, outside of facilities and a strange woman Could walk by And you can say nice outfit you're wearing there And your company can be sued It's big and there's precedent for all these crazy things. This test should be taken by everybody to show you how screwed up California is. Right, but if it is... But taking the test is not going to stop you from getting sued? It will stop you from doing certain things that- You never got sued! No. They're just the opposite I'm not a douchebag. Well, you are NOT a douche bag

2:13:14 And you've been deduced I remember but you could make a mistake and I think this test is good. Oh, yeah Taken oh yeah these days too busy Yeah, I remember 1996 took my company public Nasdaq and the minute we were on the board like that week There were lawyers downstairs, we're on the 20th floor I think. A couple floors there were lawyers downstairs and a woman would walk out say oh do you work for Think New Ideas? Anyone talk to you in a degrading manner And they were ready. In fact, we once got a... Because what happens is you have insurance directors and officers' insurance. You've got all kinds of insurances that come along with being a public company and any lawsuit you get—we had shareholder lawsuits I mean it's normal business—is always pretty much for the exact amount that you're insured for. That's how the system works. It's disgusting really is this whole thing. It has hurt a lot of stuff I think

New York Nursing Home Death Cover-Up

Reports from the New York Times and Wall Street Journal allege that Governor Cuomo's top aides altered a health department report to conceal thousands of nursing home deaths. The administration is accused of leaving out residents who died in hospitals to protect the governor's reputation during the height of the pandemic.

2:14:18 Well, so Cuomo he's fighting this as best he can but the more person comes out. He's toast well Didn't didn't we just get a third one today or does this include? Yeah the third one is wishy-washy hmm I have it's not a good third one I have a short Cuomo clip actually just because I wanted to make you feel better that you weren't alone this morning new Allegations that New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's office concealed how many nursing home residents died from COVID-19. The New York Times and Wall Street Journal both reporting that top Cuomo aides altered the number of deaths from the virus at long term care facilities on a state health department report in June, leaving out those who died in hospitals after becoming sick in nursing homes.

2:15:02 an undercounting of nursing home resident deaths by the thousands. Cuomo's office and the Department of Health quickly releasing a statement overnight defending their decision not to include the hospital deaths, saying in part... And believe fully in its conclusions that the primary driver that introduced COVID into the nursing homes was spread by it staff You know what? Since we were talking about Fauci earlier on AIDS, that was kind of weird to hear her say this. This morning new allegations that New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's office concealed how many nursing home residents died from COVID-19. The New York Times and Wall Street Journal both reporting that top Cuomo aides altered the number of deaths. That's weird. Cuomo's aides is after you!

2:15:58 Brain does funny stuff. Yeah, yeah brain does funny stuff so he's in trouble but it's unclear to me and he says he's not gonna step down I don't think there's anything that anyone can do at this point other than what should happen is an outrage of a lot of people whose parents or grandparents died going into the governor's mansion and calling for his head on a stick well he's got her bees being attacked But do you think something's got to happen? This guy is just a big phony that needs to go. Oh, but I like to see these didn't they take the award away from the Milli Vanilli? Yes! They should totally take his Emmy away of course and i'm a little pissed because Tina was talking to one of the RFBs, the Republicans from Brooklyn

2:16:49 I don't have a name, but they said yeah if Cuomo goes his potential replacement is far worse So I need to find out who that potential replacement is because that's it could be like a complete radical Person like an AOC about Hillary. Oh Wow Whoo? Is that is that on deck as you heard anything about that no, but I put in the wind Wow She'd love to be governor. Whenever you put something in the window, you gotta be careful Back up I can hear her she's overhead Oh no! OH NO! THERE SHE IS! HAHAHAHA!

We had heard other party donation segments in the past so we knew any producers existed on the island but with everything being two hours away here it's always a toss up if you can organize it in one place looking forward to our next meetup attempt! Any Big Island Producers who are interested in hosting or joining feel free to reach out

David Brooks Resigns from Aspen Institute

New York Times columnist David Brooks resigned from the Aspen Institute following revelations of a conflict of interest involving a Facebook-funded initiative called "Weavers." Brooks reportedly received a second salary for the role while writing favorable articles about his benefactors in the Times.

2:35:20 You wanna be where you want me, triggered or held to blame. Gonna be where everybody feels the same. It's like a party! So I can see this rail... there is bunch of rail cars going by down at the bottom and they're just these kind of weird looking very shallow gondolas filled with boulders And it's just going along at about, I don't know 40 miles an hour and is like so far as about 50 of these car of these Shallow gondolas felt there goes the last one just filled with random boulders. That's all about Flintstone esque

2:36:06 Oh yeah, in fact it looked like a Flintstone kind of thing. Yeah you're right Let's roll out the cancel cannon for a moment I'm gonna shoot ya in the face with my noodle gun You racist piece o' shield I got my pasta glock locked and loaded And we already hit- this is the noodle gun We already discussed David Brooks. Now, he had to resign from the Aspen Institute isn't that a big deal? The Aspen Institute It's that thing run by the guy wrote to Steve Jobs book who we think is probably with white hair and Seems to write a lot of big thick books in a very short period of time I think we may have discussed this kind of thing earlier in the show He was running it for awhile. I don't even know what they're supposed to do just some sort of a front

2:36:58 Yeah, he was one of the board members or something. I thought they were paying him but he had to get special permission to even go there from The New York Times and what it seems that he did while he was there they started up another initiative where he got paid a full time salary to be some muckety-muck and The Times didn't like that neither did Aspen Institute But it was even worse He had been consulting for a company And there was a certain term which have now forgotten And then he was writing New York Times articles about this particular term. I'm just going to find it now, what that was...

2:37:36 And it was obvious that he was, you know, he was consulting for whatever this organization was and promoting it in his colors. Weavers, I think its called weaver's. Weavers yes, weavers is concept what does weavers? What the hell is that? I don't know some sort of a...I have no idea where I looked tried to find it out. I couldn't figure it out. It's financed by Facebook though and he wrote favorable articles about Facebook and that's where he's going to get himself kicked out of New York Times. Yeah yeah then should be should Oh yeah, he should. He hasn't been good for years and besides that the New York Times deal is you get paid good money top-of-the-line guild money And you're locked up? I think you get about $125 to 140 thousand dollars a year or something in that range You might get a bonus if your economist...I'm not sure how much you can get but you get a huge pension

2:38:26 that's almost the same amount for the rest of your life when you quit after like 20 or 30 years, or 25 years I think. And you're given the opportunity to write these books with The New York Times kind of blessing so you're supposed to do books to make your extra money not go work for some company thinking it's gonna be a dot com winner and you're gonna walk away a billionaire which is what I think was going on Wow. Now, he should have to resign from the Times too don't you think? I mean if we're doing cancelling let's do it right! Well with the staff that is there now in fact...I was thinking about this because somebody mentioned this and I said well you know maybe has already been thinking about

Austin City Council Segregation Apology

The Austin City Council issued a formal apology for the city's history of segregation and systemic racism, specifically citing the 1928 master plan that created a "Negro district." The council also addressed the 1938 seizure of Emancipation Park and the displacement of black residents through urban renewal agencies.

And they initiated a process for creating Black Embassy to assist black-led businesses and organizations. Hmm... Here is the offense among one of many. In 1928, city master plan created a quote Negro district

2:40:09 a 1938 city seizing of, by the way that was LBJ's entire plan so you know. A 1938 city seizing Emancipation Park through eminent domain to build the first African-American housing project in United States. Oh God!

James Webb Telescope Controversy and Muppets Misogyny

Activists are calling for the renaming of the James Webb Space Telescope due to Webb's alleged role in purging LGBT individuals from the federal workforce in the 1950s. The discussion expands to the recent removal of Dr. Seuss titles and potential "misogyny" in The Muppets, specifically targeting the character of Miss Piggy.

james webb· nasa· dr. seuss· muppets· cancel culture

2:41:06 Five guys will get that joke. Yeah, I gotcha! The successor to the Hubble honors a man who took part in the effort to purge LGBT people from the federal workforce so they want to take his telescope naming rights away. What's the name of the telescope currently? The James Webb Space Telescope And James Webb is a notorious gay hater? Apparently, and I said it. According to Scientific American in around 2015 the history of Webb's complicity with persecution came to light Persecution yet!

2:41:56 I guess he posted something on his blog that was wrong. Oh, he posted something and it's probably exactly what he did! I was talking to Willow because she wanted to know about the... What the hell is going on with Dr. Seuss? She remembers Dr. Seuss. She has been in Italy for 26 years And she said, Adam there's two stories and I get the one about the big industrial publisher who makes tons of millions a year really knocked it out of the park with this removal of six titles. But how about this Read America Day? So as we're talking about that and then you came up with a newsletter. You know Read America day was tied into this cancel

2:42:43 Read America Day is Seuss's birthday. Yeah, let's remember that But you sent out this whole list of the newsletters in the newsletter of all the things that March is yeah Yes It's an incredible list and lo and behold it not only being International Women's Month but I think tomorrow international nasty woman's day or whatever if we can't have dr. Seuss on read America Day How in the world can we have The Muppets where the only lead female role is portrayed by a pig? There's one other female, but you're right. She's the lead and she's a pig. She's a pig! And by the way there was only one female Smurf what was she doing?! I don't know what... Well, I dunno. She was real busy with the other smurfs. Big Bird is obviously a transphobic stereotype so I think de-platforming can go on forever

2:43:48 Oh, they gotta get rid of the Muppets. You're right. The Miss Piggy has got to go! Has got to go! Miss Piggy is misogynist. The Muppet's... Misogynist Muppets There you go! It's definitely on the chopping block. Yep. Not that she mentioned it. And let's get that hashtag trending people. Misogynist Muppets hashtag... hashtag International Women's Day de-platform I'm in yeah, and I think we can do it. I think we could do it before you get your clips What ISOs? Do we have because I think I had a couple I got well You know I really don't have anything I have the now I got nothing. I'm sorry That's right. I tried and tried and tried but I even went to things that were just obscure out there I'd get I mean I couldn't get anything

ABC News Specials on Asian American Violence and White Power

ABC News is promoting a series of documentary specials focused on rising violence against Asian Americans and the "white power" movement. Critics argue these programs are designed to incite fear and link disparate events to a singular narrative of domestic extremism and QAnon influence.

Senator Elizabeth Warren is proposing a 2% annual tax on households with a net worth over $50 million and a 3% tax on billionaires. While Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has called the plan "messy" to implement, Warren is pushing for increased IRS funding to provide the "audit firepower" necessary to monitor the ultra-wealthy.

2:50:29 Democrats determined to spend big to rescue the economy and address income inequality. Senator Elizabeth Warren wants to tax the ultra wealthy to pay for it This is a tax that hits only the top 1 tenth of one percent Now, we're talking a lot about fairness in our tax system. Adding two cents in wealth tax means they're still getting a great deal but it's time for them to pay a fair share and I am completely confident that this is a constitutionally responsible way to do it

2:51:07 Now she's proposing an ultra-millionaire tax, a 2% annual tax on the net worth of households and trusts between $50 million dollars and a billion dollars. Billionaires would face 3% annual tax now she has to convince Washington and her own party's Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has said that wealth taxes would be too quote messy to implement Senator Warren told CNN's Matt Egan, she and Yellen need to talk about implementation. She says once a wealth tax is put in place it would not be hard to monitor her bill calls for increasing the IRS budget to build up the agency's audit firepower modernize its systems yeah audit fire power you know who's gonna get audited once they upgrade the audit firepower

2:51:52 Yeah, everybody but the rich. All the schlubs like me and you! Hey audit huh? Ah geez... Alright quick Costco tip. Yes yes a Costco tip ladies and gentlemen that wine tip. This showed up at our Costco but my Mimi says it showed up at the Port Angeles Costco like a month ago and I found that to be a little annoying and she bought some But this comes out every good vintage. It didn't come out in 2017, probably for a good reason it was not a great year in Bordeaux but the 2018 Bordeaux Superior that comes out at Costco is a Kirkland. It's actually made from his little Chateau which is named on the label you can see if you look carefully. Wait, it's a Kirkland label? Kirkland but it's not a regular Kirkland wine label its the Kirkland Dark Navy Blue Label almost a black label Kirkland

2:52:46 I'm putting in the show notes. And the dark navy blue labels that you see on a Kirkland wine usually means that they put some extra effort or they found a really good wine, it's kind of code for people who buy Kirkland wine but this particular Kirkland Bordeaux I bought it since 2015 and the 2015 was good, 2016 was spectacular they ran out of that very fast. The 2018 is the newest one and Maybe the best I've ever done. I think it's even gotten rated as a very high number What does it cost? It was the what's the price of this seven dollars and ninety-eight cents ladies and gentlemen if you want tips If you want to impress, this is your show And aren't you glad you waited when you heard it being teased it is the 2018 Bordeaux Superior The Kirkland Dark Navy blue label and it should be $7.99

2:53:41 Yeah, 99 is probably it. We're going there tomorrow. Well hopefully you have it at your store I mean I don't know how many stores have it but they do have it here. I'll let you know for sure and they got lots of it cool Coming up next on noagendastream.com, the latest episode of Podcasting 2.0, the open source board meeting of The Podcast Index End-Of-Show Mixes We've got Dude Named James, we've got Fletcher and Blaney Last Minute Submission I have not listened to it so who knows?

And I'm coming to you from Austin Texas capital of the drone star state Opportunity Zone 33 if you're looking it up on the governmental maps FEMA region number six and proud of it
