About this episode

Software pioneer John McAfee was found dead at age 75 in a Spanish prison cell this week, shortly after a court approved his extradition to the United States. McAfee faced federal charges for tax evasion and cryptocurrency schemes, leaving behind a controversial legacy marked by his 'Whackd' tattoo and public claims that he would never take his own life. Authorities in Spain are currently investigating the death as a self-inflicted act while the tech world reacts to the loss of the antivirus founder.

Global supply chains face renewed pressure as the Yantian terminal in China resumes operations with a massive backlog of 700,000 containers. In the United States, Amazon is reportedly hoarding shipping containers at distribution hubs, paying daily fees rather than releasing equipment to smaller competitors. Meanwhile, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink is leveraging $50 trillion in investment power to enforce ESG metrics and TCFD climate disclosure standards. This shift toward stakeholder capitalism is bolstered by the appointment of former BlackRock executives Brian Deese and Wally Adeyemo to high-ranking positions within the Biden administration.

Dr. Peter McCullough alleges that mandatory safety structures were bypassed during the vaccine rollout, citing significant adverse event reports in the VAERS system. Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb warns of potential brain tissue shrinkage linked to viral infection, while Oxford University begins testing ivermectin as a possible outpatient treatment. In a moment of media friction, CNBC host Joe Kernan challenged Larry Fink on the potential for corporate activism to target successful but non-green industries.

John McAfee, Spanish Prison Death and Legacy

Software pioneer John McAfee was found dead at age 75 in a Spanish prison cell shortly after a court approved his extradition to the United States. McAfee faced U.S. charges for tax evasion and cryptocurrency pump-and-dump schemes. Despite a previous "Whackd" tattoo intended to signal he would never commit suicide, authorities are investigating the death as a self-inflicted act. His legacy as a promoter of antivirus software and his eccentric public persona are noted.

00:00 Oh, I'm so excited! Adam Curry. John C. DeVorah It's Thursday June 24th 2021 This is your award-winning Gimbal Nation Media Assassination Episode 1358 This is no agenda Watching the WAC scan! 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 well...I figured I wasn't gonna get to lunch with John McAfee anyway I'm John C. Duvall It's Crackpot and Buzzkill In The Morning Hey man don't you just hate that? I just hate it Some people do anything to get out of a dinner

00:40 This is a lunch. No, it was a dinner Yeah probably wasn't there because it was I bought him to dinner the first time you know You know how I know what's at dinner because we have The end of show mix from the interview Nick the rat did with McAfee where he brought this up? Where yes yeah, yeah, they got cussed out so what do you think well here's the report from NPR John McAfee dead Hold on a second Okay, report. Software pioneer John McAfee has been found dead at 75 in a prison cell in Spain that's according to his lawyer as NPR's Bobby Allen reports McAfee's death was reported just hours after a Spanish court approved his extradition of the US on tax evasion charges. John McAfee was best known for the antivirus software he founded bearing his name but in recent years he's been in legal hot water

01:31 Since last October, he's been in a Spanish prison awaiting extradition to the U.S on tax evasion charges The Securities and Exchange Commission has also accused him of making millions off a pump-and-dump scheme using cryptocurrency Not long after a Spanish court approved his transfer to the US to stand trial on those charges He was found dead His lawyer Nisheh Sanon says McAfee will always be remembered as a fighter saying the US government Quote tried to erase him, but they failed authorities are still investigating the cause of death Hmm so that the weird part was that he had just the extradition order adjustment signed. That was that's what was weird Well, why was that weird? well you'd think that if you've been well You think if you're being extradited then either you're happy or

02:20 Well, I guess. Why would he want to kill himself over being extradited? Well he didn't want him to spend the rest of his life in an American prison, I guess. Like Spain is better?! What was he arrested for in Spain? I have no idea! The reporting... I think it's because of the American charge. Hmm, that's possible. Yeah well certainly for SEC issues. It was weird because he was kind of on my radar like a week ago and I'm actually looking for it I remember, I thought it was from him. I remember seeing a tweet of something to the effect of... ...I'm not doing so well, i'm a bit down today which of course I can't find anymore and It's just one of those peripheral things and I wasn't quite sure if that if I had read that properly or not. Jenny Jardin was tweeting about him a week ago as well

03:15 What did she say? She was saying he knows more. He, she thinks that He and this is before he killed himself That he knows something about the FBI or the FBI did something... He knows something about the or knew something about the FDA FBI But you know The thing that's always weird is when someone says hey I'm not gonna get I'm not gonna suicide myself And he got this tattoo whacked to commemorate that he was not going to suicide himself and then of course it happens, and then you gotta wonder... is Jenny Jardin posted another tweet she said on the other hand there's also lots of people who say these things like I'll never kill myself and they actually are planning to do it all along. This is the problem with making that commentary yeah yeah so I know what have we lost let's put it that way

04:11 Seriously, have we I mean III feel about personality. Yeah a person yeah, I feel we lost color you know It's one of those people you just want to have them around they provide color it's like how they provide color Color and color commentary both yeah, and you know like comic strip blogger in a way He's the guy who? Invent if it wasn't for McAfee we had to remember this part he's always been a promoter when he he's the one who popularized And I don't think i can get much argument from anyone who actually followed this when it happened. He's the one who popularized viruses to the point where it made people want to develop them

04:52 I always suspected him of being behind a few, quite honestly. Like what a great business! There's a lot of people that feel that he was behind a few but he had this newsletter about viruses and he promoted them and he called all the news...all the computer journalists up and so I ran into him first. I was talking to him on the phone quite a bit because he said oh it's this is gonna be the worst thing has ever happened and then he promoted the idea of viruses and to the point where a lot of them I mean in the early days even Peter Norton said there's no such thing, you know. There is no way this bull crap and really seeing it out Peter Norton developed and he had the solution Wow Peter Norton said that huh? I believe so yeah because he had Norton utilities but then later did he added antivirus stuff later oh interesting interesting Yeah, I'll miss him although we got a little tedious at the end there

05:48 I got is always tedious. I like that the documentary where it turns out he was into poop sex He's what he was into poop sex don't you remember there was a whole documentary about him remember that now? You just gross me out Sorry, I'm not speaking ill of the dead. He probably would have thought very funny anyway Yeah Love and lit love and lit John McAfee who knows who knows will we ever know oh Should we do a quick, quick trip around the horn on some COVID stuff as it's not a lot obviously but some stuff. Yeah I only have two clips and my two clips are on the Delta variant. Yes that's what i was going to start with. Not the delta variant! Oh not the... The Delta variant variant. Oh the Delta Plus

CHAPTER 02 / 43 Discussion

Delta Plus Variant, India Health Ministry Concerns

India's Health Ministry has classified the Delta Plus mutation of the coronavirus as a variant of concern. While infection rates in India have dropped from their peak, officials warn that this new strain may be more contagious and resistant to immune responses. Only 4% of the Indian population is fully vaccinated, leading to renewed government advice for strict masking and contact tracing.

06:41 Delta Plus. India confirmed. It sounds like some new service from Delta Airlines. Yeah, no here it is! India's health ministry describes Delta Plus a new mutation of the delta coronavirus variant as a variant of concern yeah it does sound like first-class It's like first class and you get a real glass instead of a plastic one. India confirmed about 50,000 new coronavirus infections today that is a fraction of what it was seeing at its peak last month so it looks like the world's biggest and deadliest COVID-19 wave may now be easing but there is something new that could threaten that progress in India as NPR's Lauren Freyer reports. Alright Lauren take it away. We're cutting across to breaking news

07:28 that's coming in. Worrying news of the Delta Plus variant being detected now... A mutated new form of the coronavirus is Delta Variant first discovered in India, they're calling it Delta Plus viruses mutate all the time and not all variants are worrying but the Indian government has classified this one as a variant of concern its genetic sequence suggests it may be even more contagious than the original delta variants and it shows an ability to act with some of the body's immune response. Dr. Vinita Bal is an immunologist at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research in Pune. Is the fear in everybody's mind, that now there is a further mutation? And it might again take us towards another wave... But its too soon to know that, Bal says. I like how she says that, that lady says, The fear is in everybody's minds! That's right

08:23 Instead of saying the danger is etc. She said the fear is now in everybody's minds Well, yes mission accomplished nailed it Delta Plus Seriously they do need a bit of marketing help over there India has ramped up sequencing of coronavirus samples. It caught this variant relatively early, only about 40 cases have been detected in India so far but it's also turned up in nine other countries including the United States and So it's unclear where it originated. Dr Sunila Garg is a virologist and advisor to the Indian Council of Medical Research, which is like India's CDC. Garg says scientists are studying how effective vaccines will be against this variant

09:17 But only about 4% of Indians are fully vaccinated anyway. So Garg says, We have to again go back to our basics, wearing masks and testing treating and tracking She says even as lockdowns are lifted across India people cannot let their guard down The Indian government has advised three states in particular where Delta Plus has been detected To increase testing contact tracing and vaccinations Yeah, so what they're really missing there is a death count which is not compatible with the Delta variant and certainly not with the Delta Plus. Then they speak of... Sorry? Yeah I agree there's no death count but

CHAPTER 03 / 43 Discussion

COVID-19 Scenario Modeling Hub, Winter Surge Predictions

The COVID-19 Scenario Modeling Hub, coordinating with Johns Hopkins and the CDC, predicts a potential resurgence of the virus between July and November due to the Delta variant. Experts warn of a "tough winter" with increased hospitalizations, particularly among unvaccinated children. UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson also commented on the potential for a rough winter, citing pressures on the NHS and the return of the flu.

09:59 If you listen, just listen to the reports it sounds like all hell's breaking loose. We had a couple local reports I couldn't catch because they're on the regular radio and i just was driving and they brought somebody else saying oh this is delta variant uh... is so deadly its wife then fortunately here's the difference between the regular COVID and the Delta variant she says as she goes on with the COVID you'd have a family Like three people in a four member family would get COVID and one wouldn't. With the Delta variant, the whole family gets wiped out! Oh I can't believe you didn't pull over immediately and call the station to get a clip. I'm telling ya. She said that the whole family is wiped out. Nice. Where's the death count here? Nice Well we have uh...a couple other

10:50 local reports to the United States. This is NPR. So we've had these waves and surges over the past year could the Delta variant cause another surge? Surge! You know, Noel it very well might. A new set of projections are just out from a group called the COVID-19 Scenario Modeling Hub. It's helping... I didn't even bother look these a-holes up the COVID 19 modeling hub. You just know it's something that's gonna irritate me called the COVID 19 Scenario Modeling Hub. It is helping the CDC figure out where the pandemic might be going and it concludes that a highly contagious variant like Delta could trigger yet another wave as soon as sometime in July, continuing at least into November

11:36 Justin Lessler is an epidemiologist at Johns Hopkins who's been helping coordinate the modeling hub. So for the most part, it's a moderate resurgence. I think I characterize it as sort of a continuation of the doldrums. We're not having massive epidemics at a national level but we have this kind of continuation of the virus just sticking around and keeping us on our toes. Yeah, I'll make this prediction for you – The Delta variant runs rampant through southern Republican states. Just guarantee that's coming next! This is ABC and we have to be careful. Winter is coming. The Delta variant giving the race to vaccinate new urgency. Experts warn if the country doesn't boost vaccinations, we could face a tough winter all over again. We don't have enough population immunity to stop the spread of this virus and we seem to hit a wall

12:31 So when the winter hits, you're gonna see more suffering and more hospitalization and more deaths. And because children are particularly vulnerable because many haven't been vaccinated I think they will likely suffer greatly. Yeah, greatly they will suffer. Mm-hmm! An a reminder that during these summer months around July in the United States we get all of the new recruits from medical school they come in traditionally more people die just because they're new at their job and do you remember that we did we had this whole conversation last year? We had a nurse or somebody wrote us along detailed explanation for this blip that takes place once a year. So, we'll see that we can already be prepared for it everything will be assigned to COVID hey how come McAfee didn't get assigned as a COVID death? It fucked up!

13:22 You heard it's going to be a tough winter. Tough winter or rough winter? It could be the Delta! I love this. Any politician who says, hey you know it's gonna be okay but there could be a new horror that we haven't budgeted for... What?! You can never exclude that there'll be some new disease some new horror that we simply haven't budgeted for or accounted for but looking at where we are today... That is the funniest thing ever! Budgeted? That didn't exist! That is Boris... It's like a new horror that we haven't budgeted for

14:07 What a classic upper class lame brain thing for the Brit to say. Budgeted for or accounted for but looking at where we are, looking at the efficacy of the vaccines against all variants that we can currently see so alpha delta the lot of them kappa Kappa. What is he thinking of? What the hell's kappa?! Well, I think he's thinking of Kappa Phi or something... whatever... Illuminati? He's going through all the Greek letters in the alphabet and you just throw them out there! Kappa has got to be one of them. Epsilon! Throw something out there! Is it epsilon omega? What a boob!

14:55 I think it's looking good for July the 19th to be that terminus point. I think what the scientists are saying is that things like flu will come back this winter, we may have a rough winter for all sorts of reasons. Obviously there are big pressures on the NHS all the more reason to reduce the number of COVID cases now, give the NHS the breathing space it needs to get on with dealing with all those other pressures and we're certainly going to be putting in investment to make sure that they can. Okay so a rough winter he says could be anything maybe something we didn't budget for so just you know

CHAPTER 04 / 43 Discussion

Tokyo Olympics, Spectator Capacity and Cheering Ban

The International Olympic Committee announced that live local spectators for the Tokyo Games will be limited to 50% capacity, with a maximum of 10,000 people. In an effort to curb the spread of COVID-19, the Japanese government has banned cheering at all venues.

tokyo olympics· ioc· spectators· social distancing· japan

15:34 In one month, hopefully the Delta variant and the plus will not be in Tokyo as we have the Olympics cranking up. And they're already taking precautionary measures... And with just about one month to go before the start of Tokyo's Olympic Games this big number catching our eye The International Olympic Committee and other parties holding live local spectators 50% capacity at all venues a maximum of 10,000 people and here's this Wow cheering because of continuing coronavirus what I could not believe No cheering allowed at the Tokyo cheering aloud. Yes You get to snap your fingers The socialists have won

16:23 Yes, I think that you're... and good night everybody. Thank you very much it's been fun doing the show The Socialists have won How about that huh? Oh man this is a comedy act This is funnier by the minute Yeah who needs McAfee when you got the whole Japanese government? Eh, no cheering allowed Now the Delta variant and all the scary stuff You know That works to a degree But if you really want to scare the parents into vaccinating children, because that's what most of this is about I think and preparing us for... Yeah get rid of the excess product. We hate sending it to Africa. No! Inventory! Can't be doing that here is a speaking of inventory here's uh the guy who knows exactly what the inventory is of Pfizer He was on the board of Pfizer former FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb on CBS Face The Nation There was a UK study

CHAPTER 05 / 43 Discussion

Scott Gottlieb, Brain Tissue Shrinkage Claims

Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb cited a UK biobank study suggesting that COVID-19 may cause a decline in brain tissue matter. The study compared MRI scans of individuals before and after infection, noting shrinkage in areas responsible for taste, smell, and memory. Critics argue these claims are intended to induce fear and note that zinc deficiencies are a known factor in the loss of taste and smell.

scott gottlieb· fda· pfizer· mri· brain tissue· zinc· cbs

17:19 about brain tissue. What did that show this week? Right, so the UK does very good perspective studies of people they have a biobank where they follow people over time and they take blood samples and do MRIs and they basically do that over many years to be able to go back and look and say were there things we could've seen in an era... Say again? I know what he's going to talk about but They talk about what they follow for many, many years. They do, they'll follow somebody we do it here once in a while I actually was part of a study like that it was followed for like a decade and But the disease hasn't been around but a year and they're talking about these long-term studies. This is a bogus, bogus interview. Correct! CBS hello CIA broadcasting systems And they basically do that over many years to be able to go back and look and say were there things that we could have seen in an MRI or blood test that could have predicted an outcome that someone developed five or ten years later? A lot like our Framingham Heart Study

18:17 So they went back to that biobank and they looked at people who had had MRI scans of their brains in the past three years, and they looked at how many developed COVID. And about 300 people- a little over 300 people developed COVID. When they compared those individuals who developed COVID against matched controls—people who were similar but didn't develop COVID—they saw a pretty persistent decline in certain brain tissue matter. Certain areas of their brains showed a decline in actual tissue, a shrinkage of parts of their brain." It's not clear how the virus caused that it's not clear if the symptoms of virus could cause or was a direct effect on the brain but its very concerning because it does suggest that the virus could be having a direct effect on certain portions of the brain

18:58 And the parts of the brain that showed the shrinkage actually are responsible for things like taste and smell and memory, the kinds of conditions, the kinds of complaints that we see COVID patients having after their recovery. They're still complaining about difficulty with smell or taste or problems with memories. Yeah I mean i've heard this before and now he's just cavalierly throwing it out This is nonsense! The fact that zinc is a well-known factor in taste and smell seems to be the determining factor. Oh, interesting! So what do you mean? The lack of zinc or too much zinc or... No lack of zinc. Huh. Oh really I didn't know this. Well that's why yeah that's what it is and somehow connected with COVID. Yeah that's why zinc was one of the protocols And so you take your zinc and never lose your taste or smell. That's good to know This idea is again you're right just a frighten the public but

19:57 It doesn't actually make any sense, although it's possible that if you factor in fear... and its effect on the brain, especially long term. Years worth of just scaring to crap I go to this... So around this area there's a we call her the bento box lady. A Korean woman who runs a Japanese sushi-to-go place where the sushi is actually dynamite and they do a really good business in that you see a lot of high school kids in there feel pretty good about it

20:33 supporting this place and it went through the COVID thing pretty easily just to go. So I go in there and he gets some sushi for a dinner, and some guy comes in-he's gotta be his 20s-and he is covered head to toe with like a hoodie and he's got the mask that's almost touching his eyes you know that big giant mask? And he's got the blue gloves on. Now did you have a mask on at this point? Yeah, I did have a mask but it was like... It said wear a mask in the outside. Some people were in there without a mask, nobody cares I mean it's gotten to the point now around here where they're not wearing masks. But this guy comes in all masked up with the blue gloves and then when he leaves because I'm standing kind of there and is not in his way He can get by me rather easily but

21:25 He crunches his shoulders together towards his chin, you know the way to shrink yourself. You just kind of like... To make yourself small and unnoticeable? Yeah! So he can get by me. Past your broad shoulders?! I'm just standing there and thinking wow this guy and then checking check the calendar dude Check the calendar? He has to have been this way the whole time. Yeah, it's sad... It's really sad. So if that doesn't affect your brain I don't know what does! Good point and although i don't know what they're actually measuring when it comes to brain shrinkage of course there's no real study this is just thrown out there to scare us I think. Totally Well while the real frightening news from the adverse events

CHAPTER 06 / 43 Discussion

Peter McCullough, Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting

Dr. Peter McCullough reports that the EU database and the U.S. VAERS system show significant numbers of deaths and injuries following COVID-19 vaccinations. McCullough alleges that mandatory safety structures like data monitoring boards were bypassed, characterizing the rollout as malfeasance. He further claims that whistleblowers within the CMS and CDC suggest the actual death toll may be ten times higher than officially reported.

peter mccullough· vaers· vaccine injury· whistleblowers· cms· cdc

22:24 as recorded in the VAERS, not just in VAERS but also the EU database. That's getting pretty interesting! The EU database has 15472 dead from the vaccine 1.5 million injured of which 50% serious And there's a link in the show notes, you can see it. Now I'm sure it's just- What vaccines are they? Are they all the vaccines or which one is mostly? I think its Johnson & Johnson AstraZeneca as what they mainly have EU. I don't think they have Pfizer Moderna not sure that they have so yeah but Dr. P we were talking earlier about you know the Gottlieb's you know with this really don't have any studies I certainly don't have years and years of studies

23:13 But as it turns out, a lot of the mandatory protocols that you should have for any study have not even been implemented at all. And this is Dr. Peter McCullough with this program there, there is no critical event committee There is no data safety monitoring board and there's no human ethics committee those structures are mandatory for all large clinical investigations and so the word that's really used for what's going on as malfeasance is wrongdoing by those in position of authority and without any safety measures in place, you can see what's going on. We're administering the... Basically it is the largest application of a biological product with the greatest amount of morbidity and mortality in the history of our country. We are at over 5,000 deaths as you know I think 15,000 hospitalizations In the EU its over 10,000 deaths we are working with

24:15 Center for Medicaid and Medicaid Services, CMS data. And we have a pretty good lead that the real number is tenfold is tenfold. We knew from data from Harvard in 2016 that the vaccine adverse event reporting system only reports about 10 percent of what's really going on. So we had to get another data source than we have inside people. Now a whistleblower inside the CMS and we have two whistleblowers within the CDC. And those are being developed right now in order to get this out, so we're looking at 10x We think we have 50,000 dead Americans. So we actually have more deaths due to the vaccine per day than certainly the viral illness Right on schedule! How about that?

COVID-19 Treatments, AT-527 Pill and Ivermectin Studies

Oxford University has begun testing the anti-parasitic drug ivermectin as a potential COVID-19 treatment for non-hospital settings. This follows a period where the drug was largely dismissed by the medical establishment. Additionally, a new antiviral pill, AT-527, which was originally developed for Hepatitis C, is currently in late-stage clinical trials for use against the coronavirus.

ivermectin· oxford university· at-527· antiviral· hepatitis c· reuters

25:08 And we have whistleblowers. Uh-huh, that's why you need some whistleblowers to get fed up when you're working in a bureaucracy like this. You get fed up when they eat... When you're part of a scam and your you know it's hurting people And now we start to move towards treatments which obviously were always available but under penalty of fines and losing your license you could not even discuss any of these treatments. But now, we're moving towards it this is good morning America. They are a pill for COVID illness is this the thing? Well listen there is... We always want to hit the encouraging news and while our vaccination rates are kind of plateauing that's about

25:43 prevention. This pill under development is about treatment so here's what you need to know about this, this would be an antiviral medication it's currently under research and development this ideally would be something that if someone tests positive would be given immediately early on before they develop symptoms as an outpatient. Potentially, you guys we could see this available by the end of this fall which would be great one example one trial candidate that is in late stage clinical trials right now it's called AT-527 I'm sure will be given another name if it does well It's already effective against another virus hepatitis C so they are testing to see if it works in clinical trials against coronavirus

26:26 So yeah, it's hepatitis C. Oh that's okay we can try that for something else but ivermectin no oh wait a minute holy moly Reuters reports Oxford University explores anti-parasitic drug ivermectin as COVID 19 treatment came out yesterday Well, well. The University of Oxford said Wednesday it was testing anti-parasitic drug ivermectin as a possible treatment as part of a British government backed study that aims to aid recoveries in non hospital settings Ivermectin resulted in reduction virus replication and laboratory studies the university said adding that a small pilot showed giving the drug early could reduce viral load and duration symptoms in some patients with mild COVID 19 Oh hello!

27:12 Well, this was in the newsletter. Yes and I mocked it and of course because there's a bunch of studies about ivermectin has a ton of studies that have shown is very good It was all shot down because that we need to get to the bottom that one day someone does that bogus paper that What's the big publication? It was on The Lancet. The Lancet, yeah that was made by some company that appeared out of nowhere the CEO and the CFO like worked for some modeling agency and it took weeks and weeks for For the Lancet to post a correction about that. So yeah well, that's your propaganda Let's do a little Intermezzo

CHAPTER 08 / 43 Discussion

Vaccine Side Effects, Official Gaffes and Misstatements

A series of clips highlight contradictory or confusing statements from public officials regarding vaccine safety. One clip features an Australian official stating that the "consequences of the vaccines are worse than any of the potential side effects," while another speaker describes older populations as "vulnerable to getting ill and dying from this vaccine."

australia· vaccine safety· gaffes· propaganda· side effects

27:59 older people 70 years of age and older we know they are just so vulnerable to getting ill and dying from this vaccine yeah i love it i'd love it when that happens did you hear I didn't get the... Oh, you didn't get it? ...gist of it. Oh! I'm sorry. I did hear it but could barely hear it. Okay well listen again. Older people 70 years of age and older we know they are just so vulnerable to getting ill and dying from this vaccine. Getting ill and dying from this vaccine. Yeah, yeah I got it. But wait! But wait there's more... You know the funny thing is that you do the same thing when i find one of these even though I don't find as many as you do It's just you don't hear it the first time Oh no it passes right by and many people miss it but our NOAA gender producers now they've got trained ears And I'm sure you saw this one

28:59 So can I say to the Australian community that you should have faith in the vaccines, that you should remember that the consequences of the vaccines are worse than any of the potential side effects. Yes, the greatest hits album is coming soon everybody. I promise you! Alright two more that'll do it for the COVIDs i think... Oh of course I should mention that just in time as ivermectin is now starting to be recognized as something that might work we get an emergency broadcast from Joe Rogan yesterday who had Dr. Corey and Brett Weinstein on and they really went through everything

CHAPTER 09 / 43 Discussion

Joe Rogan, Ivermectin Emergency Broadcast

Joe Rogan released an "emergency broadcast" featuring Dr. Pierre Kory and Brett Weinstein to discuss the benefits of ivermectin. The timing of the broadcast is noted as potentially softening the public for the eventual acceptance of the drug as a legitimate treatment.

joe rogan· brett weinstein· pierre kory· ivermectin· spotify

29:41 And it was very interesting to see that this was an emergency broadcast. You know, I'm thinking that just like... Just like it was okay you know John Stewart came in and said hey bad versus lab It's very possible depending on the pushback that he does or does not get we'll see today That Joe Rogan was nudged into doing this emergency episode To soften the blow of ivermectin actually being something that is usable Maybe. I don't know him to do any emergency broadcasts for any other reason that's the first, i think anyway your no agenda show was talking about this year he did the emergency apology for something yeah well there you go whenever it's an emergency message it comes from corporate

30:31 I have no idea. Obviously, I did ping him and said hey man it's good he says yeah. He does a show every day what is... It was an emergency! He does a show every day what do you have to do? What do you have to do an extra show later or the same day? I guess, I don't know. Emergency makes no sense to me well thank goodness this message will now reach a broader audience that is good And then of course where this message which would wait yeah after the horse left the barn well I mean this is so late in the game who cares? Well, even the Oxford thing's a joke. That's why people love listening to The Noah Jenner Show we had this year ago

31:17 A year ago. Well, actually we had the hydroxychloroquine a year ago. Yeah, we had that too. Ivermectin came in when that Goa situation occurred and we didn't get a sample pack but we got pictures of it which are you know... Hydroxychloroquine will get its day in court too let me watch then all happen There's actually more studies showing its effectiveness than there is Ivermectin at the moment So this obviously leads down to one road for the pharmaceutical industry and if you want to know what's going on with pharma, especially with Pfizer and the vaccines. You just call up the member of the board Scott Gottlieb on CNBC happy to talk to you about what's coming What? What's the latest research just in terms of when people are going to need these booster shots that have been so talked about? If you've had this less than a year ago your vaccine

CHAPTER 10 / 43 Discussion

Booster Shot Narrative, Natural Immunity vs. Vaccination

Scott Gottlieb and other medical commentators are signaling the need for COVID-19 booster shots starting in the fall of 2021, particularly for the elderly. The discussion contrasts the waning immunity of vaccines with natural immunity. A specific media moment on MSNBC is highlighted where a doctor was interrupted by host Nicole Wallace after suggesting natural immunity might be superior to vaccine-induced immunity.

pfizer· boosters· natural immunity· nicole wallace· msnbc· scott gottlieb

32:12 Yeah, look I think you could feel safe through this summer and the effectiveness of the vaccine also correlates with the prevalence of the virus. So how effective the vaccine is also correlates with how likely you are to come into contact with a virus in a combination of the protective immunity that people have through vaccination even if it's declining over time combined with the fact that prevalence is very low. I think people can feel reasonably assured through this summer I think as we get into the fall, we're going to have to look at giving especially the vulnerable population boosters. I think there will be some continued discussion around that. They're a huge burden on the public, these old people. And so we've done everything we can to rather like throwing infected people into the old folks home and make them take shots over 80. We wiped out a bunch of them up there in Scotland. We took care of a big group

33:07 I think we took care of like half the population of one these old folks. So, but i'm telling you these guys that you know they're a big burden on the economy uh their useless eaters is the way we see it and so we're going to get rid of them as best we can so the booster shot I think's gonna be one way of doing that Ladies and gentlemen, the Curry-Dvorak Consulting Group is available for your elitist moves. Just give us a call here at Dvorak dot org People can feel reasonably assured through the summer I think as we get into the fall We're going to have to look at giving especially the vulnerable population boosters I think there will be some continued discussion around that Particularly once we get past this July 4th deadline that the administration said I think you are going to see more active discussion around boosters in the fall particularly for the elderly population

33:49 point here is that the variants that we're seeing now, 617 variant in particular where we are seeing some resurgence in the United Kingdom. That further suggests that the boosters may be important because what were seeing is people who have had one dose of vaccine aren't really protected against that variant but once you get two doses... You have a pretty reasonable degree of protection against that variant. So it suggests that the declining effectiveness of vaccines may be more of an issue for some of these variants, and that maybe another reason why we lean in the direction of boosters particularly for older...the older population Yeah you're right man they're coming for granny again Empty seat at the table! Empty chair! Another empty chair? We got two empty chairs coming. They are coming

34:28 And then the final one is from Good Morning America, where we'll just lay some more booster prop on you. Do we have any indication on how long vaccine immunity will continue to last? Do the trial participants still have immunity? Answer to the first part of the question is that we are following it. We think based on some published data it might be around 12 months but again we're putting that together. We're extrapolating what's known from the clinical trial because those participants are still being followed remember They started to be enrolled last July and August, so we're not yet at the 12-month mark for those clinical trial participants. But also in people who were naturally infected with COVID-19. So remember those people who were vaccinated early on healthcare workers like myself whenever you are vaccinated remember that it's not

35:18 permanent immunity. We probably are going to need a booster and when we get that word, we can expect kind of another rush to get that booster vaccinated but we're following it. I love how she says it's not permanent immunity! No, they don't know anything. But she says it like remember... In fact if you recall at least two or three shows ago we had some guy coming on saying the shot is better than natural immunity Yeah that's my favorite Well if its better than natural immunity how come it wears off in a year? My god I had a similar thing that you spoke about earlier I was in the car and I had MSNBC on And there's no way I could ever find this clip online and what's her face Nicole Wallace

36:01 And some doctor says, well as we all know natural immunity is better than the vaccine immunity. And it was like no stop! No I have to stop you there! That is factually not true! I'm sorry we're out of time! It's a beautiful moment What yeah, yep cut the guy right off so he's the expert she's a stupid meat puppet Reading from this prompter and she's required to do this apparently as part of her job If someone could find that I would be very very happy it was just beautiful Meanwhile they surprised me. No these people are out of control

Yantian Port, Global Shipping Backlog

The Yantian terminal in China has returned to operation, but analysts predict it will take over 80 days to clear the backlog of 700,000 containers. The queue of vessels remains significant, contributing to ongoing global supply chain disruptions.

yantian port· china· shipping· logistics· lars jensen

36:39 Well, people are also tuning out. That's why I'm happy Joe did that Ivan Mechdin episode People will believe Joe Rogan before they believe these ditzes At least starting to be that way No, and I think that has been true for a while Meanwhile near a peep about the Yantian port or very little news about it which came back online yesterday However, after bribes were paid the estimate is 80 days for it to normalize. 8-0 that's almost three months how about that? Explain that to me explain that to me well I can maybe there was what shut down for a week now is eighty days yeah work no I have oh my god it's just from the article from container dash news you'd think that they would be the experts

37:34 Here we go. The Yantian's terminal return to normal operations will not instantly normalize the situation in the region according to the container shipping analyst Lars Jensen, who said there is considerable queue of vessels waiting to be serviced and the queue can be said to be artificially short with many port omissions both executed and still planned into July from the carriers... whatever that means Jensen, CEO of container consultancy for Spucci Maritime who has previously predicted that Yonatan will need more than 80 days to clear 700 thousand plus TEU queuing outside its keys. A TEU I think is the container unit so it's just the backlog

CHAPTER 12 / 43 Discussion

Whidbey Island, Container Ship Noise Complaints

Residents of Whidbey Island in the Puget Sound are complaining about the noise and visual obstruction caused by massive container ships anchored offshore. While NPR reports suggest these ships are servicing companies like Apple and Costco, it is noted that the "COSCO" branding on containers refers to the China Ocean Shipping Company, not the American retailer.

whidbey island· puget sound· container ships· noise pollution· cosco

38:18 This is just in time. Just in time stuff! This backlog is showing up everywhere, coincidentally. Yeah no coincidence... This is the part one of a two- I couldn't clip to second half this is so these people on NPR are so dreadful but this is the Whidbey Island BS reported on NPR. though, Greg from what I understand things are not so serene there. Residents have been complaining about this ruckus created by these humongous container ships that are anchored off the shore of the island Scott Chaplin is the mayor of a town called Langley. Okay stop stop the clip for a second

39:14 So there's a couple, actually I'm looking at the San Francisco Bay which i can see from here and it is... There are no container ships out there. There are supposedly a few south of Oakland towards Santa Zea. Is Los Angeles the big port though? Isn't LA the port where they all come in to? Long Beach. But Oakland's the big port out here and so I've driven across the bridge recently. There are some ships, but at Anchorage there's a bunch of spots that it's not more than i've seen before She makes this point that outside of Whidbey Island, where there's a you know to get into the I guess Seattle or wherever. These container ships are sitting out there these big humongous as she describes them containerships are making a ruckus what kind of a ruckus does an anchored giant containership made they have a skeleton crew maybe 15 people max yeah are they honking their horn?

40:15 Yeah, what kind of a ruckus? Are they having parties on board and the music too loud. This is a bogus story now we have it a couple of producers on Whidbey Island one in Langley They might want to report back to us on the ruckus. There's a big ruckus because of these ships, this bullcrap this report but continue please. It's container ships that are anchored off the shore of the island Scott Chaplin is mayor of a town called Langley I've been on the islands on and off since 2008 and i never recall seeing them there except for maybe one last year And this year it's almost

40:56 I think since for the last few months, I've never not seen one. It's rare for these massive container ships to anchor near would be island in fact it's rare for them to anchor at all anywhere on the Puget Sound normally they just pull right up to the port and start unloading their cargo but the Puget Sound is chock-full of container ships right now and there are like anchored all over the place I know. They can also make a lot of noise at night, which has many Whidbey Islanders kind of cranky. They're absolutely huge! They're so tall that they appear from the shore taller than the islands behind them, so they sort of block the view of the islands behind them So what's going on? Why are there all these container ships at Whidbey Island

41:53 Well, the island is getting a front row seat to a huge surge in demand for imports. Imports that mostly come from East Asia through West Coast ports. Hmm. All right I have to kill it there now couple of things one they never tell us how many is at 10? Is it five? Is 100? Is 1000? I don't know two I have no idea. I know they're making a ruckus she also says you still there yeah yes I'm listening to you She also says that they're servicing Apple and Costco. You name it, she even said! And you name it... Now there's a lot of these cargo containers go to Walgreens and I'm sure Joannes House of whatever they sell at Joanne's and places like that. I think this came...I think she said that just out of the blue. Apple is not getting cargo containers up in Seattle? I don't know why they would

42:53 But you know what it was here's the way I analyze that. The story was someone was complaining about noise and they built this whole thing around it well that's a possibility but I'm going to get back to her comment about Costco there is a shipping company out of China, I think it's out of China, you can look it up at COSCO And I see these cargo containers, the COSCO containers go by all the time. Me too! On the tracks down below and every time i see one I think of Costco even though I know it's got nothing to do with Costco She probably saw that or subliminally had that...I've seen them, I've seen the Costco trains and I thought that too Costco oh yeah Costco Yeah

CHAPTER 13 / 43 Discussion

Industrial Packaging, Lumber and Plastic Film Shortages

Producers report that shortages of certified pest-free treated lumber and high-quality plastic shrink film are hindering the shipping and packaging industries. Much of the inexpensive packaging material sourced from China is reportedly of inferior quality, leading to mechanical failures in industrial machinery.

packaging· lumber· china· plastic film· supply chain

43:41 Yeah, C-O-S-C-O. There's no... there's the T is missing. Hello? Exactly it's Chinese outfit Costco Yeah, well we got a couple of notes about shipping containers emptying empty shipping containers and shipping in Containers in general which is how products and services move. And since these are producer notes I figured we share them first one What our producers work for the US Air Force? Shipping munitions for years shipping containers that you buy or five to twenty thousand depending on use and most are used and have failed their inspection for shipping, another large part of the issue will be preparing cargo for shipping. This requires not only skilled workers but also a large amount of certified pest-free treated lumber

44:25 There's a problem for blocking and bracing loads to prevent cargo from shifting. This lumber typically is not recycled even for reuse and shipping due to the chemicals used to treat the wood which are semi-toxic, and not something you would want to use personally so lack of skilled labor and lumber are surely making the situation worse I think that's probably possible. Yeah speaking of that One of our producers said, I previously worked for a company that manufactured industrial packaging machinery before changing jobs earlier this year. While yes food sold in the USA generally does get made in the USA the package material is a different story you can't get the material to package your products you can't sell your products every year at the PMMI conventions packaging manufacturers something they're

45:13 There are large selection of Chinese companies selling inexpensive packaging material. Before I left my company earlier this year, we've been constantly getting record complaints about the quality of products coming off our machines which could only be attributed to two possibilities one the quality of the plastic shrink film that they were using on our machines or 2 the quality of the mechanics they have supporting their equipment You know, this is more inferior material from China. Yeah junk from China. Shrinkflation from China and then finally one of our producers... That was an excellent report I think that's a good one right? We don't think in terms of the shrink wrap that gets put goes into the machinery to be thrown around a package

CHAPTER 14 / 43 Discussion

Trucking Industry, Amazon Container Hoarding

A truck driver in the Chicago area reports that Amazon is hoarding shipping containers at its distribution facilities, paying $1,000 daily fees rather than releasing them. This practice is creating a bottleneck for smaller companies that cannot afford to maintain their own pools of containers. Mechanics are reportedly resorting to welding and taping old scrap containers to keep them in service.

trucking· amazon· shipping containers· chicago· logistics

46:03 One of our producers is a truck driver. My life as a daily trucker, I grab an empty out-of-our lot container take it to one of our customers mostly Uline SC Johnson or Amazon then exchange for load container take it to one of the dozen rail yards in the south side Chicago drop it grab a loaded container bring back someone in southeast Wisconsin northern Illinois Either they unload it or exchange it for an empty and then return home. It pays well, much more than any other job I've had and it's not that hard. There are 175 of us in this terminal another 1200 in the Chicago area and over 12 000 in the company's division nationwide that does this however over the last couple months many of our empty containers are stuck in California waiting to be loaded with the Cisco Dongfang and China shipping container contents that John talks about

46:56 Some warehouses were essential and some were not, causing a bottleneck. But the bigger offender is Amazon! They are hoarding our containers at just about every one of their distribution facilities anywhere between 35 to 75 containers per day and they're either not releasing them or being very slow to unload Now as a company we charge them $1,000 dollars a day per container to keep it Of course a drop in the bucket to them and my company is making money hand over fist, but this is choking out the smaller customers who can't afford to keep a pool of containers around. Customers like Uline Target or Walmart just prepay loads and keep up with Amazon but it forces smaller companies to either deal straight

47:38 over the road companies, which is more expensive and sometimes less reliable or wait until we can get a container to them. From the Chicago area sometimes we have to drive a couple hundred miles to get an empty container to get to one of these customers which of course we charge the miles too! We used to sell our scrap containers a few years ago but considering every load brings in tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars now... ...We ain't selling shit! Our mechanics weld and tape every hole they can now!" Gaffer tape to the rescue. How about that though? Well, as someone who worked on a container line making these things I know how easy they are to fix

48:18 So you can get, and they do get holes in them. One of the tests when you're an inspector is they lock you... I was going to say they leave you in there but they lock into a container and you have to acclimatize for a few minutes then look for little lights. You look for any form of light inside the container that means there's a point where it can leak rain or water can get in And, uh... but you can do the same thing with the one that's used and just put- You're right. Just gaffer tape duct tape or that stuff that guy on the TV always sells. That goo! Exactly! What is this stuff we use to fix our mufflers with? What? Bondo?! Bondo! There ya go! Yeah ladies and gentlemen bondo. Bondo fix everything broken bones bondo to the rescue

BlackRock, ESG Goals and Stakeholder Capitalism

Investment giant BlackRock is facing scrutiny for its role in pushing Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) metrics. Commentators like Scott Galloway express excitement over the shift toward "stakeholder capitalism," where investors demand diversity and climate policies. Critics argue this is a mechanism for centralized control over the corporate world.

blackrock· esg· larry fink· scott galloway· vanguard· sustainability

49:15 Beautiful. Unless you have something else you'd like to do now, I do have a little presentation... No but I'm gonna clue ya in on my presentation for today. Ooh! Okay. I am going to do a presentation of Amy Goodman clips. Mmmmm! To prove that she is the worst at She leaves facts out, she slants the news. She is really a communist. We're going to out her as a commie? Is that the idea? Well I mean i think she'd be proud to be one but it's just like one thing after another when you put them together and you play them one after another they only have one that's fairly long most of them are short

50:00 It's just like, it's shameful. It's lousy news reporting. It's lousy presentations. I did a deep dive on BlackRock. Everybody is talking about BlackRock! If you see anything about BlackRock it's either they're buying up all the homes or they own everything And I saw very little research. And I'm particularly interested... Well, actually here's how it started. I was looking for a hate clip as we talked about on the last show. We should do hate clips something that we... Yeah you know I had a hate clip and then I forgot to produce it! So the idea is something that you watch not just for the show but just to hate what's going on which is a good feeling in a way

50:56 I just go, what? I can't believe this. Yeah it makes me feel good and for me that is without a doubt the podcast Pivot. I think it comes out three times a week which is really good for my hate listening quota. It's Kara Schwisher and Scott Galloway. Now Scott Galloway he's a professor in well I think economics...I think he should be but he has this incredibly smug attitude about him Apparently, I said it specifically that way. He is very successful at investing and he does...he doesn't do angel funding but he does early stage companies and he's always you know hanging out and talking about all the big boys in hedge funds and you know he knows everything. He knows about cryptos and he knows everything

51:47 and is very smug about it. And so there was this little bit that I was going to kind of use as a hate clip, and then I realized it really was going to take me down a whole different road as they started talking about ESG the environmental social corporate governance often used in a sentence as ESG goals of companies which we've heard about, we've talked about but really don't know that much about So here's the clip...I'm sorry? Go on. Here's the clip that got me started from Pivot from Pivot. I have been just blown away by, so investors...I've always said that it's regulation and then in terms of importance at waiting on these companies better angels to show up as a flawed strategy there needs to be regulation and that the second place of power full commitment power is to change boards because it all starts with the board picks a CEO, the CEO picks management compensation schematics etc what I miss there it's another really powerful force its really been incredibly influential is investors

52:46 And a lot of big investors, it's kind of strange. We talk about concentration in big tech the concentration of alternative investments is crazy if you look at the fortune 500 two of the three largest shareholders are one of like five companies It's State Street Blackrock and I forget who the other one is Vanguard There's another enormous one that's a guard So people say well the markets are somewhat inert that you have the same kind of guy sitting around a table at owning every company but what's exciting is they all seem to have rallied around this notion of sustainability and ESG. And again, a massive amount of capital now has as an investment criteria some sort of ESG or climate component I think it's exciting and I'm to be honest a little bit surprised. Oh it's exciting! Now you know why its a hate lesson when I hear... Oh I am so excited! I was excited that investing in the thinking environment is exciting. I'm excited

53:42 Just buddy, get a grip. Get it Kleenex stuff in your pants. We could share hate clips I guess some sort of BSE or climate component. And I think it's exciting and to be honest, I'm a little bit surprised. I'm shocked that they are taking this step on and what they've also seen is that companies with more diverse diversity over perform companies with a climate policy over perform So they have linked it to the evidence of this I think yes, thank you for that when he says they overperform. I think he means the stock price Overperforms, I don't know if the companies are over performing because you're right there's no evidence or over-performing because of that

54:26 Or because of even what that is, is the big question. But he's excited about it! Shock to the upside that they are taking this stuff on and what I think they've also seen is that companies with more diverse... More diversity overperform. Companies with a climate policy overperform so they have linked-itude there appears to be a congruence between Linked-itude? I hate this show so much! With a climate policy over perform So they have linked it to that there appears to be a congruence between stakeholder value and shareholder returns But it's crazy amount of money that now says, unless you are buttoned up around these issues we are not investing.

Biden Administration, BlackRock Personnel Appointments

Several former BlackRock executives have taken high-ranking positions within the Biden administration. Brian Deese serves as Director of the National Economic Council, Wally Adeyemo is the Deputy Treasury Secretary, and Michael Pyle is the senior economic advisor to Vice President Kamala Harris. These appointments suggest a deep integration between the investment firm and federal economic policy.

brian deese· wally adeyemo· michael pyle· joe biden· blackrock

55:23 Alright, so you get the idea. You cannot be successful unless you have ESG and one of these A-holes on your board that's what it sounded like to me So I went wake surfing with a former New York banker yesterday A because he invited me B because it was nice break from packing up our home although Tina is doing all the work And see, I wanted to pick his brain about this. Now you'll recall that he said BlackRock was not behind buying up all of the homes and I confronted him and said look at this everyone's talking about it says yes yes you identified the narrative but really the only company that is investing to buy up homes

56:07 away from people starting their lives is not Black Rock but Blackstone and he said, and I looked it up and yes Blackstone has put six billion dollars into a fund to buy homes and rent them out which is 17 thousand homes. The banker said Believe me, Adam. That's really small that's not important six billion dollars is nothing there isn't that's really not the business People are in certainly not Blackrock So what is this business with BlackRock? Well first let's look at and this is what this is kind of a thing that That I didn't look up and I'm kicking myself you remember how President Obama had Goldman Sachs inside the administration running everything we talked about that quite a bit at the time

56:58 Yeah. Well guess what? The Biden administration, it's BlackRock. Okay. Three names to look out for. Brian Deese D-E-E-S-E he is the director of the National Economic Council the president's main advisor for economic policy. Deese came from BlackRock where he was global head of sustainable investing and before that he held senior economic posts under Obama, including replacing John Podesta as Senior Advisor to the President where he worked alongside Valerie Jarrett. So that would be kind of an important guy inside the administration. A key policy post is Deputy Treasury Secretary under Yellen so the number two in command we find Nigerian-born Wally Adeyemo

57:50 He also comes from BlackRock, where from 2017 to 2019 he was senior advisor and chief of staff to the CEO Larry Fink. So he might have had some information and messaging after he left the Obama administration that's when I went to work for BlackRock His personal ties to Obama are very strong as Obama named him the first president of the Obama Foundation in 29. And then finally we have Michael Pyle, he is the senior economic advisor to Vice President Kamala Harris He came to Washington from his position as global chief investment strategist at BlackRock where he oversaw the strategy of their almost nine trillion dollars in funds

CHAPTER 17 / 43 Discussion

Larry Fink, $50 Trillion Climate Transition

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink estimates that $50 trillion in investment will be required to transition the global economy to "net zero." Fink advocates for public-private investment schemes to fund new technologies like battery storage and carbon sequestration. Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum supports this shift, stating that companies not committed to ESG are on the "wrong side of history."

larry fink· world economic forum· net zero· climate change· infrastructure

58:35 Interesting that he's shacked up with the vice president. Kind of makes you wonder what they have in store for her So that's these bankers inside the administration, inside the White House moving policy making policy shaping policy maybe running it for all we know Let's remind ourselves that the people we're talking about all come together once a year in Davos, it is the World Economic Forum. When we are talking about ESG – the environmental social corporate governance – we don't have to go back far in the archives to hear Klaus Schwab discussing this very thing. Finalized maybe what we need is also a new mindset

59:18 It has been mentioned in the business world, we see now that companies who are not committed to ESG metrics, to stakeholder capitalism. Just to stakeholder capitalism is that those companies are on the wrong side of history but it's not only companies I think we also have to ask a question how can applies the ESG metrics even to governments too because it's not just GDP, its well-being its prosperity. So this is the stakeholder capitalism thing coming back again which is always fun

1:00:03 And we might as well bring in Larry Fink now. This is him, an interview about 10 months ago for the Financial Times and he will explain what stakeholder capitalism really means. The transition that we are going to be undergoing related to sustainability is a huge economic opportunity where you'll be creating new technologies, new industries as other industries are gonna become less important But let's be clear, let's focus on society's acceptance to create new jobs, to create new technologies and move forward. We're going to need $50 trillion of investing to get to a net zero world so it's not a small price tag but the opportunity is going to be large

1:00:49 So the key there is he says we're gonna need 50, 5-0 trillion to get to this mythical net zero. And you're hearing a lot of things that you've heard the elites and the politicians talk about especially new jobs, it'll be good paying jobs... Of course! We are going to try and move the entire economy... Good paying union jobs, bull crap! ...so we are going to try and move the entire economy over to sustainable energy in fact a part of the great reset, 50 trillion dollars will be needed. Well you know where that's going to come from of course from us

1:01:25 And what does that exactly entail? What does it mean to finance climate change, Mr. Fink? The only way we're going to be able to finance this... To finance the impact of climate change on cities and in countrysides On the physical impact of climate change is gonna have to be done through a public-private type of investment scheme. Scheme! Scheme! Scheme! Scam! There are huge sums of private capital looking to invest in these types of opportunities We need to have a large infrastructure program to prepare ourselves for this transition. And then when every, you know just like the internet how it's changed our daily personal lives and professional lives I believe governments worldwide are going to need to invest

1:02:15 in the R&D of how to prepare for climate change and helping us design and build new technologies. And from battery storage, then the efficiencies of batteries if we had strong efficient cheaply made batteries, we'd be able to transform our power grids so much more rapidly. So there are many things that we need to do And then we need to find ways better sequester carbon and many more things like that, and planting more trees. This is all going to be a part of a long-term process that can be done with government and with business." So I put this clip in here so we can all see the guy's completely full of shit Oh! We need 50 trillion dollars what do we needed for? Trees

CHAPTER 18 / 43 Discussion

TCFD and SASB, Climate Disclosure Standards

Larry Fink is demanding that companies report under TCFD (Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures) and SASB (Sustainability Accounting Standards Board) frameworks. These standards allow investors to see how companies are navigating climate change, which Fink defines as a primary "investment risk." Failure to comply may result in BlackRock voting against board directors or divesting.

sasb· tcfd· financial disclosure· investment risk· larry fink

1:03:09 and better batteries. No, A-hole! You want it to make yourself and your friends and your clients... although his clients are a lot of retirement funds they'd probably steal that money and give it to somebody else these people are not good And they're using this ESG as the way to nudge companies I'm gonna get into this little bit deeper To nudge companies into playing along We're seeing this happen And this, here he's gonna throw out a couple acronyms and gee I looked them up like journalists usually do. Check it out. In my 2020 CEO letter we asked for companies to report on TCFD and SASB. Okay so when you hear that TCFD and SASB I immediately thought well yes probably like Sarbanes-Oxley or some other regulatory thing

1:04:02 It comes across as kind of like, wow that's something official. So I looked it up TCD stands for Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosures so there is a task force on climate related financial disclosures which have objective and subjective metrics to show how green your company is And it is brought to you by SASB Standards, which is a... here we go. SASB Standards, which stands for and I forget that what it stands for now. SASB standards are maintained under the auspices of the Value Reporting Foundation

1:04:51 A global non-profit organization that offers a comprehensive suite of resources designed to help businesses and investors develop a shared understanding of enterprise value, how it's created preserved or eroded. The resources including integrated thinking principles the integrated reporting framework and SASB standards can be used alone or in combination depending on business needs So what do you think about this SASB non-profit? Could it be filled with bankers? Of course. So this is what they do? Yeah, this all sounds a lot like bankers. Totally bankers! So they've set up a non-profit, they determine these goals of better batteries more trees... I didn't hear him say anything else that's turned into a metric that you can then use and the threat as we've heard from Klaus and we're gonna hear more from Larry Fink is if you don't

1:05:50 submit your SASB TCFD reports and your metrics, we're not going to invest in you. And that's when you get a BlackRock who has nine trillion dollars under management if someone pulls out as they did recently with coal they no longer have any investments in coal That hurts industries. So this is the engine of what Joe Biden and the Green New Deal is talking about, these are the guys that are actually doing it. And many companies have not moved forward and that's what we're asking them. We're looking for better transparency in how they are navigating their company and that's what we're doing.

1:06:33 big, bold changes. But we're asking for better disclosure and I don't think there's anything wrong about asking for better disclosure across the board and i think going forward we are seeing more and more companies doing that because it is good business for them you know the one thing that is very clear in this COVID world that were living in beyond the sustainability world Joe Stakeholder capitalism is only going to become more and more important. And the companies that focus on all their stakeholders, their clients, their employees, the society where they work and operate are gonna be the companies that are going to be winners for the future. We do believe these issues around social issues in how we operate, this is why we ask companies report under SASB

1:07:26 and under TCFD so we can truly understand how they're navigating around this whole long-term trend of climate change. But we believe more than ever before, Joe that climate change is investment risk Climate change is investment risk. This is how he's saying that this is a good strategy. If you think, if you deconstruct that sense it makes no sense Of course not! It's just slogans he's throwing out there but make no mistake Larry Fink is proud of what he is I believe in multilateralism. I remain to be a globalist

CHAPTER 19 / 43 Discussion

BlackRock Activism, Passive vs. Active Investing

While BlackRock is primarily a passive investor through ETFs, it is increasingly using its influence to force corporate change. Larry Fink's annual CEO letter serves as a directive for companies to disclose concrete plans for a net-zero economy by 2050. This shift marks a move toward a more activist role similar to that of Carl Icahn.

blackrock· passive investing· etf· activism· tiktok

1:08:06 A globalist who now needs to focus more on making sure we have secure and great jobs in everywhere we are. So I think that's where, we focus more on globalization less on the impact in parts of our economies and so there is a reason for the Europeans and Americans to be tough on China but we need to be tough at making sure it's a level playing field across the board... blah blah blah blah So he does this letter every single year. He does a CEO letter, sends it to all of the CEOs that his company's invested in and it's important to understand that BlackRock... Bill Gates Oh yeah I skipped the Bill Gates video but just to show that he hangs with the same crew so the letter uh oh It's important to understand that BlackRock

1:08:59 in general is a passive investor. So they play the market, they play industries, they bought some big ETFs and so they really have a passive business which means it can be invested in by politicians for instance or by financial news hosts because there's no agenda other than making profit over certain sectors but They're not like Carl Icahn. They don't say, we're buying up a piece of this company and we're getting... And I'm gonna run it! Exactly well guess what?

1:09:34 It's starting to look a little different. So here he is about his January 2020 letter, you said I believe that the pandemic has presented such an existential crisis, such as stark reminder of our fragility and it has driven us to confront the global threat of climate change more forcefully than to consider how like the pandemic it will alter our lives when you demand a global and ambitious response last year you targeted thermal coal this year You're asking all companies to disclose concrete plans to move towards a net zero economy by 2050. And the point about this is you're going to say, you're going to hold them responsible

1:10:11 If they don't do this, you may vote against the board of directors with your passive funds and with your active funds you may disinvest. Otherwise he's no better or worse than an activist like Carl Icahn! And i suppose the main question for you... The letter came out yesterday is what has been the response from the CEOs so far? We'll really know the response coming into the next AGM I think so far the response has been very positive. I've received many, many texts and emails thank you for moving forward. The real response will be how will companies adapt to the ask? And I'm doing this not as an environmentalist, I'm doing this as a capitalist who truly believes that climate change is investment risk. As a fiduciary to all our savers

1:11:05 And we manage more retirement assets than anybody in the world. And the responsibility of managing that asset, it's a long-term outcome. It's not a short tick tock of the day outcome but it's a long outcome and we see how climate change is going to impact all society as I letter suggested similar to how COVID has done that." I like how he says the tick tock of the day which means they made a killing on something with TikTok I'm sure So, the cat's out of the bag. Obviously they're going to be very activist They are threatening with board of directors changes They're threatening all kinds of activism You better get on board with your SASB and TCFD If you don't report there is gonna be trouble for you And luckily this is my favorite clip Almost done Joe Kernan of CNBC Does this guy have like tenure or something at CNBC?

CHAPTER 20 / 43 Discussion

Joe Kernan, Larry Fink CNBC Confrontation

CNBC host Joe Kernan challenged Larry Fink on whether BlackRock's activism would eventually target successful companies that do not align with current social trends. Fink denied that the firm would force business model changes on companies like Coca-Cola or Philip Morris, but Kernan remained skeptical of the firm's long-term influence on non-green industries.

joe kernan· larry fink· cnbc· coca-cola· philip morris· hydrocarbons

1:12:03 I don't know. He might as well because he called out Larry Fink on this whole thing and Fink gets mad, and that's what i like about Larry Fink is he has so many tells. You start talking loud! Joe Kernan of CNBC calls him out and says, hey man so you're not...so you are an activist but you're not going to do anything it's only you clearly screwed coal. You pulled out a coal well what's the stop you from doing that every other industry now that you are an activist? It was a great little back and forth.

1:12:58 better than their competition. Their employees are happy, they're making great strides in planning for their retirement. They pay taxes to the United States government. Everything is great, but the CEO doesn't feel like embracing whatever societal changes are in vogue at the moment that Larry Fink happens to think are in vogue so he actually isn't going to play ball with you on what you think Which you said change embracing change he doesn't want it. So you think some of these changes may not be lasting they maybe whatever the Certain side of the political spectrum decides is important at that moment Are you going to try and get him?

1:13:44 You know, oust that board and vote your shares against him. First of all you're personalizing with me I'm not involved in this. BlackRock. Okay fine thank you! Two... Well this is your idea isn't it or whose idea? It's the Supreme BlackRock. Alright I think of you as Black Rock which is a compliment Thank you but hopefully its not Not a compliment that there are more than black rock singers. I get you, I get you. Egomaniac. Thanks Joe Biggest money manager in the world If a company is performing really, really well as you just suggested and it is a beacon for its employees and all that stuff I am very confident that engagement's going to be very positive. And so if you framed the question... You framed in a way that I don't see that being a reality. But I will tell you I have had conversations pretty close to half of CEOs who received the letter

1:14:40 And I don't believe they're sucking up to me or anything. What if what if we were very? On they got a stop drilling for hydrocarbons, and they got to do renewable energy because they don't because there you're framing things Let's say that let's say but that's not gonna happen That we have not done that okay your framing Hypotheticals that are not even the realm of reality good. I mean it's nice to talk about and framing questions that are that are a 2% probability. How about Coca-Cola? You tell them no more sugary drinks. That's their business, they're businesses providing enjoyment. Okay how about Philip Morris? No more tobacco products. But we will not do that either if we're... What type of thing is this? Those aren't the issues. If they're going to be inventing, you know we have these issues many times

1:15:27 individual is investing in an index that has Philip Morris, it has Coca-Cola. We're not going to be changing their business models to that way That's their business model so we are not going to say get out of your business! That's exactly what they are doing and they will do it to any business These guys are ruthless, they're globalists They don't care about the environment he said himself He wants to make money as a capitalist And this is what is driving the whole machinery. You go to every single company and you say, all right you gotta be on board with the Green New Deal we better see some green shit everywhere! That's why you see people posting so oh we've got a green paper today and were using this... So we have more SASB TFCD scores otherwise BlackRock will not invest in you The threat-and this is what excites

CHAPTER 21 / 43 Discussion

Wokeness and ESG, The Edelman Trust Barometer

The "Social" aspect of ESG is linked to the rise of corporate wokeness and critical race theory training. Larry Fink cites the Edelman Trust Barometer, which shows that the public currently trusts corporations more than politicians. This trust is being leveraged to implement a system of carbon credits and "true pricing" on carbon.

wokeness· critical race theory· edelman· trust· carbon credits

1:16:19 Scott Galloway. Oh, it's so exciting that these guys are doing a good job It's real So let's get this straight now by the way I thought these were good clips and I And it is true and it's also possible It seems to me that you're kind of overlooking the they're kind of this sick aspect of it where they're making people, there's putting them...making them do stuff that just is a joke like dance monkey dance. I do have the final clip that- Well before you go into the final okay well okay and then after the fact I want to hear an analysis of what happened here yes and this final clip is for the S in the ESG

1:17:01 And it is my belief that all this wokeness that you're seeing is a part of it. And this has not discussed outwardly, by Fink or anybody else, but I'm pretty sure that there's some part of this mission is okay you've got to show your social corporate governance. Show that you're doing critical race theory training or whatever it is otherwise you're also going to be on the outs and of course that has all these extra benefits of people being mind-controlled and it all comes The reason they feel that they can do this comes from a study done by PR firm Edelman. I mean there was an interesting survey by Edelman which just came out showing that people trust companies more than politicians, in some ways that might reassure you but doesn't it in other ways make you feel rather sad?

1:17:52 Well, I'm actually quite pleased that you know. I mean a group of business leaders that are doing the right thing and i think that's what the Edelman survey is indicating that it has been recognized Let's be clear though. But without governments doing anything, without China and America or India doing things like that nothing is going to happen it's what you're doing makes a difference certainly but in the end it's about the state You're right John What I was gonna say is we need government involvement because what... Anyway you get the point they got this study corporate brands are more trusted than politicians

1:18:35 which is not hard to understand or believe, but they've taken that and they run with it. And I think they're outrunning themselves now but so it's all bunched together these guys are forcing corporations to do things. Well this is nothing new in the corporate world But what happened here is that you listen to this Jamoke on Galloway. Yes, and it irked you so much that you did this report? Well that and the fact that I've been reading so much about ESG and BlackRock and how they own everything and I want to know the mechanism. The mechanism is clear they become activist-invested and they have 10% of every single company in the world yeah so they have board members all right do you were going to deconstruct it

1:19:34 I just did. No, that's not just because of Scott Galloway-Galloway. You're hurt! This is a hate clip. Hate clip turned into a report Yes okay you're right that's exactly what happened so we just got to keep our eye on these and you know there are tons of interviews with this Larry Fink and never really hear anything about it Well where are they now? It's too late for him because once you identify the snakes You can have a lot of fun just following what they have to say. And I think we had this earlier when you identified the snake from Pfizer, what's his name? Yeah, Gottlieb. Gottlieb! You play clip after clip from him and once you see these guys and you see that they keep cropping up over and over and they're throwing in their poison... Mm-hmm. ...and their propaganda to promote themselves—I mean this guy is not in it for anything but the money he said so himself

1:20:33 And, uh... yeah. Then once you see it we can just put them at their regulars now on the show. Yes! And he speaks so well. Nobody else sees it that way. These others- I mean, I can't believe they put these people on these shows. I mean, I could see it on CNBC and that makes more sense but they have the Gottlieb character floating around all of these other talk shows with a vested interest that's, that conflict of interest let's put it correctly. A conflict of interest that's you know as big as the billboard and you put him on and let him say what he wants and you don't question any of it? Except for Joe Cairnan on CNBCs, the only guy! Again I said that's different, I see CNBC is yeah kind of thing I would expect but on the other journalism shows

1:21:18 I you don't get any of that they never push back there was a clip with the it's in the show knows all those clips. The one with Kiernan, it starts off with Andrew Ross Sorkin and he could not have his tongue further up Fink's butt Yeah, ex-New York Timeser. And then Fink reacted with a little kind of like a head jerk towards something he said and he immediately backpedaled it! It's a real suck up pussy boy! No backbone So yeah, they're probably all afraid now. Yeah. Sure! The kind of money you'd make at an operation like BlackRock would be just being a guy at desk is gonna be ten times more than he's going to get at CNBC.

1:22:11 As far as I understand it, this ESG your score your ESG goals as determined by SASB and TCFD that's what will be turned into carbon credits. And a true pricing on carbon and they're gonna make even more money that 50 trillion dollars that's the prize he has his eye on That's what he wants He wants to get that money So, screw him. Yeah well you're right now that we've seen the snake the head of the snake is good yeah I would just keep highlighting it yeah and with that i'd like to thank you for your courage say in the morning to you the man who put the sea in the corporate governance ladies and gentlemen Mr John C

1:25:35 Yeah, yeah there was a... I think there's at least four or five pieces that we could have used. This one I kind of like always liked that baseball lookup you know anyway she's done some good things as she did the Covey the dog remember the dog Covey?

1:26:34 But what else did we see? Well actually there's more to it than that. You had made the argument, because I liked the other one a little better at first and you made the argument no since that has been used for the last couple of weeks it was kind of old Oh birthing parent yes yeah they had the concept of birthing parents yep That was used since Mother's Day! And so a seeding parent which is original was picked That's why there are two of us Um, let's see what else. Even though you do dominate these pics on these arts Oh my god! Here is how it goes What do you like John? John go through it I'll say I like this and that And then he says okay I'm good with that That's what I always say I don't dominate You dominate Don't Dom me bro

We do honor dollarettes. I would say that's true because normally when they put... if it gets bumped up, it's usually in the note and Eric bumps it up by hand so we'll give him an executive producership It's funny, you know, where looking for some chairs for the new house

1:39:26 And Tina's like, she's looking at this website and it's Canadian dollars. And she says, oh that's really expensive! Hit the US dollar sign boom! It's like yeah...

I am a family doctor needed to say this has been a challenging year to be in my profession especially having the awareness of a no agenda listener.

Dvorak that the FCC is introducing a $35 fee for amateur radio license renewals, urging him to renew his expired license during the grace period. A meetup pool party is announced for Raleigh, North Carolina.

Notice that He had said that he had quote listened enough to no agenda to know what your stance on mask wearing was This means he's listening but not donating I hate to do this to someone I admire as much as Tom But as a black knight, I must call him out as a non-donating douchebag That's right. Invite me on your show and then my producers will call you douchebag! It's perfect, and I'm sure we'll get invited back again. We'd get invited again and again. Also Adam while you often point out that there may not be many ADOS members of the amateur radio community which would be American Descendants Of Slavery i.e., black community

1:50:38 That's not to say there aren't many Ados brothers out there working skip off of HF radio. CB is alive and well, okay? If you listen to 27025 kilohertz AM aka The Super Bowl or 27 dot 385 kilohertz on LSB lower side band on any day when the conditions are... You'll note that the Ados community owns the band And they have the most kick-ass stations out there, so maybe they figured out what I have. You don't need a ham ticket to work random dudes in far off places! Something I would never say in public... And they all have linear amps and if you happen to be driving by one of them when they key up good luck with your radio not blowing up Your feelings hurt. Think that could do better? My feelings hurt?! I'm gonna embarrass her! You got a big toaster on that machine, Dvorak!?

1:51:34 That's what we call it.

As we all know legally authorized Radio Hams will save the world in case of communications disaster however

1:52:28 I found a way to motivate him to get off his butt and renew it during the two-year grace period. Currently, a ham license can be renewed at no cost but the FCC has announced they are going to establish a $35 license fee." So...I guess he's playing to your uh.... You're scrooginess.

DOJ Seizure, Iranian News Domain Hijacking

The U.S. government hijacked the DNS of several Iranian news outlets, including PressTV.com, citing disinformation. This move is criticized as a dangerous precedent for government censorship that bypasses constitutional protections for news organizations.

press tv· iran· dns· doj· icann· censorship

1:56:26 Did you see that the United States government, this is really quite egregious took down or hijacked really the DNS of many Iranian news outlets including press... Yes I have to report it's and it's part of my Amy Goodman rundown. Oh good because this to me? I have been reading or following or maybe even getting clips from press TV for over a decade And now all of a sudden, oh it's disinformation take it down. And that's done at the DNS level this is more scary to me than anything Facebook or any... I agree and I'm surprised that the media has not completely outraged

1:57:09 Who's to say what's disinformation? Yeah, the Iranians probably have it and I'm sure there is a lot of bull crap on it. But so what! It's a news outlet according to our own constitution, the Bill of Rights you can't do that. What is the mechanism... who do you go to? ICANN? Who do you go to say okay we're from the government were here to help where taking over this domain name how does that work thats fucked Well, we need to dig into it a little bit more and I'm sure our Ben is out there. I'm sorry that was unnecessary F drop but this really scares me more than anything else we've dealt with No it's very bothersome like it happened to us so let's start with what's good about this little report I'm gonna do just pointing out Amy being a lousy reporter and news reader she's not even good news reader instead we get a lot of news out of the way She's not even cute

New York Mayoral Race, Ranked Choice Voting

New York City's mayoral primary is utilizing a new Ranked Choice Voting system, delaying the final results. Former police officer Eric Adams leads the count, though critics like Amy Goodman highlight his past Republican ties and support for charter schools. Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, founder of the Guardian Angels, is also noted.

eric adams· ranked choice voting· maya wiley· curtis liwa· manhattan

1:58:05 So let's start with, unfortunately I spelled it matorial but it's the mayoral report because this is needed. We need to know this. This is the mayoral report about New York. New York just had an election they're going...it looks like they're gonna put in a get tough on crime cop into the mayor's office but you don't know because they've decided to go with rank choice What? Oh wait Is that in the report, what rank choice is? I don't know if they explain it well but if they don't I will. Okay let's go with Report 1. And New Yorkers voted and its highly anticipated primary election Tuesday. In the heated mayoral race Brooklyn Borough President former New York Police Officer Eric Adams is leading with over 31% of the vote

1:58:50 But it will likely take several weeks to announce a winner with the new Ranked Choice Voting System. Civil rights attorney Maya Wiley is currently in second place, with 22% of the vote followed closely by former Sanitation Commissioner Catherine Garcia 2020 presidential candidate What is wrong with her esophagus? Well let's stop right there and I'll mention that throughout all these clips she is trying not to cough And she does cough a couple of times you'll hear it as we go along. I can almost see the white strings in her mouth She's trying to grind it. You can't just hit the cough button or they can't I don't know what it is But she can't because he needs to cough badly yes, and I'm just hearing her makes me want to cough Take a lozenge girl Commissioner Catherine Garcia

1:59:44 2020 president. No, no no she's hammered this is cottonmouth I recognize it that's what's going on she's been smoking weed. Andrew Yang has conceded after receiving less than 12% of the tallied vote journalist Ross Barkin who's written critically about Adams and other candidates said he and other reporters were barred from Adams election night party talk show host Curtis Leeuwen has won the Republican nomination for New York City mayor okay Now, I'm gonna ask you a few. First of all, Curtis Lewa? The Guardian Angels? Dude he's back! He's been around for awhile. No from the 80s they were the hot 97 morning crew after being guardian angels on the subway so what i don't understand from the people who bring you democracy... Democracy it's our democracies in danger What is this ranked voting bowl crap

2:00:42 Well, we've had in California for a number of years. In fact we may have had it longer than anyone Is this democracy? And what it is that you don't vote for someone You vote first second and third In New York's actually you vote first second third fourth and fifth Oh! And so the fifth place vote would get one point and the first place vote would get five It's like the Eurovision Song Contest They could have a surprise ending Yes, that's the idea. So you get some communist in? Oh okay! All right cool Now we start to begin to see Amy's bigotry in the second clip which is part two of this and this is later in the show when they start to analyze this election and they start talking about the cop who seems to be winning he's actually a one of the council members in one of the boroughs

2:01:35 but he's an ex-captain in the New York City Police Department and he's uh bitching and moaning about it, a black guy. And he wants to crack down on crime... The woman that they mention is a I don't know she's mixed race but whatever she is she's a communist oh yes no this is yeah the communist who's waiting in the wings Yes we know of her. The communist and so their rank choice is designed to get her in somehow Cool. We'll see, but let's listen to this because there was a little tidbit in here besides Amy's little bigotry that she throws out at the end where she calls this black guy out for being a Republican when he is not is the fact that all of the boroughs, the main borough is the ones outlying boroughs Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn and all these places vote for the black guy and it was Manhattan

2:02:29 It was Manhattan that voted for the communists. Manhattan where Whitey lives! So I'm just, I'm beside myself with what's going on in New York it's something really screwed up about it but let's play this... And another part of Adams' political viewpoints hasn't gotten as much coverage he's a big supporter of charter schools and he got millions of dollars in support from many billionaires who are also charter school backers. So that remains to be seen how, if he does survive in the final count what his policies will be toward the public school system and I think

2:03:12 Interestingly, Adams is leading in all the outer boroughs of New York City while Catherine Garcia, the former sanitation commissioner won the majority of the votes in Manhattan where obviously the biggest white portions of New York's population are. So this is an It's going to be interesting to see. My sense is that Adams will probably prevail, but we don't know because we're in an uncharted territory when it comes to ranked choice voting. Just a few years ago, Adams had described himself as a conservative Republican? Yes. But having known Eric Adams for many years, I've mentioned before, I think his conservative republicanism was more of a matter of convenience at that time that he thought that you could get

2:03:56 gets further within the Republican Party than in the Democratic Party, because most of his policies I would not consider them to be what we consider today Republican policies. And why did Amy jump in with the Republican? Does that mean it's like you have scurvy? Yeah, she's a creep in that regard. Now maybe Garcia is not the communist it's the other woman but it's beside the point this guy should get it and it'll be very interesting to see him as mayor so let's go on with some of Amy's other reports and we'll have some discussions here is The 1619 Project This is an interesting story this is about how this 1619 author who I think worked for The New York Times

Nicole Hannah-Jones, UNC Tenure Dispute and Gag Rule

Journalist Nicole Hannah-Jones, creator of the 1619 Project, declined a faculty position at the University of North Carolina after being denied tenure. Amy Goodman's coverage of the event is criticized for being slanted. Additionally, a coalition is calling on the Biden administration to permanently end the "global gag rule" regarding abortion counseling for international nonprofits.

nicole hannah-jones· 1619 project· unc· tenure· global gag rule

2:04:41 She wrote a book and I think she was the one that... No, she's the one that was denied tenure at the university. Yes and here is the story in the way it is played It's very slanted and creepy Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Nicole Hannah-Jones says she will not join the faculty There it is! You know what? She didn't have to cough bro That's a hairball That is a certified hairball I heard That has nothing to do with phlegm She's a cat. Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, Nicole Hannah-Jones says she will not join the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill next month

2:05:21 without tenure. Hannah Jones, creator of the 1619 Project says quote political interference and influence led to the school board's decision to deny her tenure which drew protest and sharp criticism from faculty students fellow academics and some donors okay Wow is it first of all is this live does she doesn't just you do this show live I don't know I don't think it's live visit I don't know. It's live to tape! Why don't you just stop already and say, sorry i need a moment into some water or something? This is bad. That was good one. Okay here's the...I have the ISO cuff if you want to play it. Yes yes hold on of course I want this this will go on infamy okay

2:06:16 So she says it's drawn sharp criticism from some donors and some... Some! It's drawn plenty of praise too. She puts it at the end as though, oh this is a horrible affront and its drawn sharp criticism from some. Some yes well technically correct But its unbalanced She's terrible. Okay, let's go to clip two of this sort of bad reporting gag order bad reporting An international coalition of over 200 groups is calling on the Biden administration to permanently end the so-called global gag rule, which bars nonprofits in other countries from receiving U.S. funds if they provide abortions or even refer or counsel people on abortion. Biden rescinded the rule but it remains at risk of being reinstated in future Republican administrations

2:07:10 Or a Democrat? Yes. Or anybody? Yeah, you're right yeah well that's that is interesting because it shows that the Democratic Party machine already knows that they're going to be on the losing end in 2024 and possibly 2022! Yeah but it's the way she does I mean but it's a false report this is not true what she's just making it up why do you keep watching it So I can do this? Hate watch. This is a hate watch, I qualify! Yep you do Okay here's another one...this is the Hong Kong update

CHAPTER 32 / 43 Discussion

Apple Daily Shutdown, Hong Kong National Security Law

Hong Kong's Apple Daily newspaper is shutting down following police raids and the freezing of its assets under the National Security Law. In a related media story, journalist Rania Khalek commented that the U.S. seizure of Iranian media domains would be viewed as an "act of war" if performed by another nation against the U.S.

apple daily· hong kong· national security law· press tv· rania khalek

2:07:51 In Hong Kong, news outlet Apple Daily says it's shutting down less than a week after authorities raided its newsroom arresting editors and executives of the pro-democracy paper and froze its accounts under the sweeping national security law. Meanwhile the trial for the first person to be charged under the national security law started today. Tongying Kit was arrested last year after he collided with police officers while riding a motorbike and flying a flag with a popular protest slogan Does anything come to mind in that report? Maybe she should tell us what the slogan was. Or the flag, either one would be nice! Well the flag had a popular slogan on it... What was the slogan?! I actually know what that slogan was. I'd be interested where it wasn't. Here is this full slogan Donald Trump don't trust China! China is an asshole! I think thats the slogan. You walk right into it. Walk into it! Come on

2:08:53 Alright, here's another one. This is the story about the Iranian media which we discussed earlier which were both concerned about she's less concerned it seems but But this story again is another example of really bad reporting. The United States government has seized dozens of website domains linked to Iran, including state-owned PressTV dot com a popular English language news site They also shut down Yemeni and Iraqi channels Journalists and news host Rania Khalek tweeted quote if the country did this to US media outlets it would be seen as an act of war

2:09:30 War. China does it to us? All the time! Is it an act of war?! All the time! Saudi Arabia does it to news sites, is that an active war? What was that thrown in at the end for and why was it always some one source I've never heard of? Well...I would say that it's not completely comparable It's one thing to have a firewall and block access. It's another to take the domain name I don't want to say act of war and nothing about that, but it's kind of apples to oranges. Just saying... Alright let's go to uh..I got two more and we're done And now i can just bitch all day

CHAPTER 33 / 43 Discussion

Jamal Khashoggi, Saudi Killers Trained in U.S.

The New York Times reports that four of the Saudi men involved in the murder of Jamal Khashoggi received State Department-approved paramilitary training in the United States. The training was provided by Tier One Group, a company owned by the private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management, where former Vice President Dan Quayle serves as chairman.

jamal khashoggi· saudi arabia· tier one group· cerberus capital· dan quayle

2:10:13 Here's a kind of, I don't know this is not this is sketchier one but this journalist bombed in Israel and with she intones she kind of implies that Israel blowing up journalists with bombs we don't have any there's no proof for this as possible maybe it's the Mossad. We don't know but you can hear the hint because she's really pro-Palestinian and hates Israel The Committee to Protect Journalists says Israel must investigate last week's bombing of Arab-Israeli journalist Hassan Shailon's home. Shailon, who writes for Ynet, survived the attack. The group says it is at least the third attack on an Arab Israeli journalist in less than a month

2:10:55 I thought they were all warned. They all left the building beforehand Well, I don't know. I don't know this story at all. This is shallow bad reporting. I got one extra when this is retrained killers again There's no data that I don't even know that this was known to such an extent it just as a It's a moderate slam. It may be kind of an interesting pickup, but again it could be more information would be useful The New York Times reports four of the Saudi men who participated in the abduction and murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018 received State Department approved paramilitary training in the U.S

2:11:35 The training was provided by the security company Tier One Group, which is owned by the private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management. Private equity firm bad! You know who runs that private equity firm? The CEO of Vice President Dan Quayle Is that Quayles operation? Yep yep one of them I thought he was a blood guy No no Quayle is the is the Cerberus guy I'm pretty sure I look into that. No, no... Ye of little faith! Let's see... Cerberus? And then my last clip after you find out. Keep going. Okay we'll play this last clip this is the Ethiopia update and i'm just gonna suggest anyway if this is her report on Ethiopia it's an update what's going on there's a little battle royale. If you listen to this report what do you learn

Ethiopia Conflict, Tigray Region Airstrikes

Dozens were killed in an airstrike on a market in Ethiopia's Tigray region. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, is leading the military effort against the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF). The region faces a severe famine and widespread reports of war crimes.

ethiopia· tigray· abiy ahmed· famine· tplf

2:12:36 In Ethiopia, Reuters reports dozens of people have been killed after an airstrike in the Tigray region. A bomb was reportedly dropped on a market Tuesday afternoon. Health workers are reporting Ethiopian military blocked several ambulances from reaching the scene. Thousands of people have been killed in the Tigray region since the Ethiopian military invaded last November with support from Eritrea. There have also been widespread reports of war crimes, including sexual violence. Aid groups warn millions in the region are at risk of famine." I really don't know what i learned there You learned nothing That's what I thought If people want to know what is going on, there was actually a decent New York Times article called Why and you can look it up just Don't subscribe Just put this in Google and find a copy of it Why Is Ethiopia At War With Itself? And it talks about

2:13:30 And I'll give a quick rundown. This group, this T-Grey People's Liberation Front which actually began in the 70s as sort of a communist operation representing the one ethnic minority of 6% of the country has been nothing but troublemaking and they have attacked arms cash and they've done some stuff that needed to be quashed the guy who is the Prime Minister of Ethiopia, this Abay Ahmad Ali. Who just got the Nobel Peace Prize and he settled a dispute with Etrea, the border dispute and is kind of a peacemaker and seems to be a good guy even though if you look at him he's got one of those funny not-a-foo man shoe but that weird comic book guy little goatee. And they've been trying

2:14:24 Calm the area because there's a famine going on. She says is an upcoming family No, there's a famine in place as we speak and they're trying to Stabilize the place the army is and this is bullcrap her whole report sexual this And then she uses dropping it the way she put them words words The way she described the drum buck bomb dropping sounded like the barrel bomb description you got by Assad, and you associate it with Assad when you listen to her report. It sounded much more like Syria than this she told us nothing about this no details and is shameful! And the entire democracy now has turned into nothing more than just minor socialist propaganda

2:15:10 I should mention that the chief of the World Health Organization, Dr. Professor Her Tedros comes from the Ethiopian government so immediately when you do this story i'm looking for pipelines... Well there could be some pipeline action but I will say this, this Abiy Ahmad Ali, the prime minister actually used to be in the TPLF So he knows what's going on. What's the TPLF? That's the Tigrayan... Oh, okay yeah that's the guys. The Tigray People's Liberation Front and when you have anybody with that name it's Marxist! Yes by the way Dan Quayle is the chairman of Cerberus Global

April Moss, CBS 62 Project Veritas Defection

Meteorologist April Moss of CBS 62 in Detroit announced on-air that she would be speaking with Project Veritas regarding discrimination at the station. A leaked recording features her boss, "Chuck," berating her for the move and recommending her termination, accusing her of being selfish and disregarding protocols.

2:16:00 Okay, well he's not the CEO. He was... Technically I was right in this. He WAS the CEO they now have two co-CEOs and Dan Quayle moved to chair of the board Well now i'm thinking that whole report was just a crocheted on Quayle being Republican after all Could be could be oh yeah could be Alright I am done with this anyway I was fed up and there is my hate clips for today Good job on the hate clips since we are deconstructing the media I have a couple of those clips as well. After the, what was her name? Heather, the weather girl slash human interest story reporter. Oh yes right! Wait but wait there's another one it's catching it's a plague Good evening and thanks for watching First Forecast. I'm meteorologist April Moss and happy Father's Day today we saw temperatures above normal again topping out at 85 degrees at Metro Airport plenty of sunshine today but on

2:16:59 All good things must come to an end and that starts as early as tomorrow morning with showers moving in around 8 a.m.. And speaking of a brand new week, I will be sitting down this week with Project Veritas to discuss the discrimination that CBS is enforcing upon its employees. Tune into Project Veritas for my full story now later Monday we will see those showers continuing through late morning. I love how these girls are doing this! It's like, and here is the weather. And by the way I work for a bunch of douchebags! I'm blinking twice to let you know that I am held hostage. And the forecast for this weekend is beautiful This is good. I think this could catch Well there are two. If there are 2 then there will be more Now what we have in addition Is her boss calling her and reaming he out for this episode Would you like to hear it?

2:17:52 That happened yes, of course it happened here we go. Hey Chuck Yes You may get terminated for that are you aware of that? Yes I am All right so so yeah, okay with that then I understand if CBS decides to let me go I do understand that why would you do that oh You know, basically that's the most selfish thing I've ever seen in all 36 years working there. This is great this you know you and I John we often mess around about how it works at media companies... ...you're actually hearing one of these douchebags doing it Yeah suit! It's a suit and he's totally patronizing her it's just head shaker Without even a close second

2:18:46 Cuz you don't give a crap about anybody else, and if you get terminated which you might. And then the burden is gonna place on other people, you couldn't care less? It's just all about April Moss. That's very unfortunate I mean we've had some talks and all of that but I didn't know that you were that kind of person. You are April! You're all about April and that's it. Here's my stance regardless of the burden this is going to put on anybody else Well, I've tried to go through all of the direct channels that... What do you think going on here and getting fired is gonna do? Do you think that's gonna change their rules? Well it's not just CBS but its a lot of organizations and corporations across the country. That are enforcing unfair standards on people. I can't believe you did that!

2:19:44 I mean, again we had some chats offline and you know with some texts. But to go on the air and just blatantly disregard any protocols you know? And again place all of this burden on other people... You know what i mean? I'm going to recommend that you get terminated! I'm not gonna stand up for you Because that was as blatant as anything I've ever seen. Okay, but I've gone through all the natural channels with HR. I have sent them documentation stating this is against federal law... I understand that! I saw all of that email. So do you think going on air and saying something about getting fired is gonna change anything? What could possibly affect what would happen other than you getting fired?!

2:20:34 I was hoping that they would understand and realize that enforcing these policies on people that are against federal law is not okay. So you're going to go out there and say that, and you think they're gonna say oh she's right we're gonna change those now because she said it on the air? You really thought that? I was hoping there would be a change No, no there isn't The only change is gonna be on our weekend weather person That's the only change We should hire her for the morning zoo. You know, she was... I guess she...I don't know what were the federal laws they're violating? Well we'll know after she talks to Veritas, I presume. I'm very curious about that as well and it sounded like he knew what federal laws she was talking about. Yeah, he knew and didn't care!

2:21:32 He was more concerned with the embarrassment. Now, I think an enlightened... No is this guy? See he wasn't a station manager was he? I think he was Well then he'd be the one that would just fire her Why does he have to propose they fire her Who's they? You know what you mean To me it sounded like Michael Scott Dunder Mufflin Dundermifflin That's what it sounded like to me Like okay yes alright Jan That guy, that guy who asked this. Yeah he has that quality now if you were an enlightened station manager and this happened first of all you probably wouldn't have gotten to this point because her please would have been heard somewhere along the line or at least she'd got a cover your ass memo from somebody

2:22:23 You know saying they're looking into it or I don't know why there's a million ways of doing it that they didn't do. They did not because they're arrogant, I think that's what he's pissed off about us because she tried it and he just ignored her and said go away stupid news girl And then she pulled this one and so but I think in enlightened guy would have just let it slide Who cares what she says? Yeah anyway That was the Detroit CBS 62 Another cool little media clip I got from Sir Brian of London, he sent this to me. Shark Tank was originally a British show called Dragon's Den and if you remember I got called by them when they were going to do the pilot not the shark tank but Dragon's Den I was living there at that time

CHAPTER 36 / 43 Discussion

Dragon's Den, Reality TV Manipulation

Original "Dragon" Rachel Elnaugh reveals that the British show Dragon's Den (the precursor to Shark Tank) was highly manipulated through editing. Producers would intentionally trigger the investors to create a "ruthless" persona that did not reflect the actual supportive advice given to entrepreneurs. Mark Burnett is credited with popularizing this "unscripted drama" genre in the U.S.

dragon's den· shark tank· rachel elnaugh· mark burnett· reality tv

2:23:09 And they say, you know we'd really love to have you be one of the dragons. Be on the show I'm like oh that's great except i have no money So if you guys how does this work are you guys going to put up the money and then it's a real investment? No! You have to bring your own money Well...I am not gonna do this It sounds like a dumb idea for me personally So they do the show, it's highly successful. It gets spun off into the US as Shark Tank and now one of the original dragons Rachel Elna is on record explaining exactly how this show works! And now for you and I John not so surprising but i think even people who watch Shark Tank here in the U.S will go oh crap yep that's exactly what going on here

2:23:58 Well, the thing about Dragon's Den that we didn't realize when we were filming it is that 95% of what was filmed ended up on the cutting room floor. And so it was so heavily edited and highly manipulated and I realized afterwards that I was part of an education amongst the general public and in particular children about a very ruthless way of doing business which didn't reflect at all what was actually filmed. And so this hard-nosed, pinstriped, ruthless

2:24:37 cutting business people. And actually that wasn't the truth of the series at all, we were very supportive helpful giving marketing advice and tips all that was cut in favor of the irritable comment that you made, because they would send someone in and you all wanted to go home. And they'd send in some disastrous person at 530 just to trigger you, you know, in a really hot studio so it was very manipulated and of course we sort of fell for it. So I yes, I do feel a little bit shame around my responsibility

2:25:19 this persona, this archetype of business dragons which is not a true reflection of the real world of entrepreneurship. And she'll never work in television again! Well, he doesn't seem to be wanting for it. No she's not wanting for it but I thought was good to hear that a good reminder and if you look at Shark Tank here It's all the same this is reality these reality TV shows as in fact the guy who invented the whole notion which is what's his name Trumps pal? The guy who did that Burnett yeah Mark Burnett mm-hmm Mark Burnett

2:26:01 Who's kind of a weirdo if you're seeing him an interview, but he? Really dis let he invented the genre that entire reality TV. Genre not true It was well okay it's not married true But he's the one who popularized in the United States with yes island and a couple of his big show He had two big shows Yes, he hated the didn't did Monica because whether he invented or not is beside my point He hated the moniker, reality TV because he said technically it should be called unscripted drama. Because it was fiction! But it was unscripted fiction and I you know they were filming one over at MeVeo and they never aired anywhere but I watched them and all they do is suggest You know they film what your doing then exaggerate what your doing

CHAPTER 37 / 43 Discussion

CNN, Amygdala Hijacking and Fear Appeals

A media scholar on CNN explained the concept of "amygdala hijacking," where fear-based rhetoric floods the brain with stress hormones to bypass rational thought. Critics point out the irony of CNN hosting this discussion, given the network's own frequent use of fear-based reporting during the pandemic.

cnn· brian stelter· amygdala· fear· psychology

2:26:56 Can we get a... can you do that again? Or can you, uh...? Oh! All the time. All the time. Can you just do that again but could you throw something at the guy? Could you like throw that cup at him? Yeah, yeah, throw it again. Throw it again. But throw that thing instead of the cup. It didn't even get anything on him. You didn't even get any liquid on him. Throw it again and make sure this time you hit him in the chest at least. Yeah, the whole thing's fake! Mm-hmm The last media related clip comes from CNN reliable sources Brian's seltzer water and he had this woman on who is a media effect scholar.

2:27:37 I didn't know this was a practice, but media... It sounds so bogus. I'm a scholar about what? Media effect scholar yes in fact i think we should take this title I don't think it's stolen valor for us to say that And I cut off his whole intro because he was talking, well what Tucker Carlson's doing is he's scaring his audience and it's really effective when he scares his audience. Tucker Carlson scaring his audience! Hello, hello media effects scholar how does it work? How does that work on the brain?! You know, we've known rhetoric scholars like me have known since Aristotle that emotions are very persuasive. If you can tap into people's emotions then you can get them to do what you want them to do media effects. Scholars talk about how fear appeals work through the television and cognitive scientists have explained that it's actually your body's physiology

2:28:33 So your fight-or-flight response is when there's something dangerous that's in the area. Your body's physiology floods your brain with stress hormones, with adrenaline and cortisol and those take over the rational part of your brain which hijacks your brain they call it amygdala hijacking. Amygdala hijacking yes! Hello pot this is The Kettle speaking how tone deaf are these people? It's pretty bad. CNN giving us this report? As soon as she started talking, the first thing I thought of was a CNN listener that I saw mentioned him earlier in this show. Had blue gloves on walked in and out of the sushi shop with his... oh it's drenched up! That's right amygdalas hijacked left and right. I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda imagine all the people who could do that Oh yeah that'd be fab

Wastewater Testing, COVID-19 Strain Detection

A wastewater treatment worker in Minnesota reports that facilities have been sending sewage samples to the University of Minnesota to track COVID-19 levels and strains. Early in the pandemic, workers were forced to wear full hazmat suits due to transmission fears, though the university later admitted the virus found in wastewater was dead and non-infectious.

2:34:18 I was being wheeled to my x-ray. There was a 33 on the smoke alarm on the ceiling, and took my next dose of Advil at 333.

2:35:15 Wow number eight our tiny princess Anastasia only lived eight months off. You want to see her story? You can find it on anastasiasi.info and I guess was a heartbreaker my husband did most of the writing for that blog is talent God bless also another note from Andrew producer Andrew sir future night, sir Andrew Listening to last week's podcast, you and Adam played a clip of reporter talking about the University of Missouri working with scientists who look for COVID in wastewater and how they can detect different strains. I work at a wastewater treatment facility in southwest Minnesota and we have been told the same thing!

2:35:55 We have been sending 50 milliliter samples of our F-Influent water to the University of Minnesota since COVID began. In the beginning, we were told that COVID transmission was possible through the water and that we had to wear full hazmat suits while cleaning uh...the sewer lines. Two months or so into the pandemic they changed their minds and said they were wrong The virus was found in the wastewater, but it was dead. We could not contract it." This is more kind of bullshit we have to deal with at the start the University of M only

2:36:33 only needed one 50 milliliter sample sent out per week to conduct their study, to see the levels of COVID in the water. After a few months they decided they needed 50 samples twice a week and a special 15 milliliter sample once a week. They told us that the samples were used not only the levels but now they were looking at the different strains of the virus. They have sent us data showing us levels and the strains a couple of times, but unfortunately that paperwork goes to my superintendent's not shared so I don't know much about it thanks for what we do okay

2:37:11 All right, thank you all very much. Thanks to these outstanding producers as you can tell it's not just a donation segment there's information There's deconstruction there's interesting things happening in people's lives who know what they're talking about often professionals That is the no agenda show get my nation produced by all the producers out in Gitmo Nation and we really appreciate it.

Gun Control, Infrastructure Bill and Gas Tax

President Biden announced new measures to curtail gun violence, focusing on "ghost guns" and illegal dealers. Meanwhile, negotiations continue on a $1 trillion infrastructure bill. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki is criticized for suggesting that wealthy Americans "don't pay what they owe" as a justification for avoiding a gas tax.

joe biden· gun control· infrastructure· gas tax· jen psaki

2:48:01 Okay, NPR. President Biden today unveiled new steps aimed at curtailing gun violence in the US including sweeping measures aimed at stemming the flow of firearms used in crimes emerging from a meeting with stakeholders at The White House. The president says he's asking the Justice Department to go after those who provide weapons illegally to criminals Yeah this was great nothings working so uh what are we gonna talk about? Guns! And then they have stakeholders somehow. What's the stakeholder? I don't know. Stakeholder capitalism! But then they say, they're going to stop... Did you listen to this clip it says they're going just They want a crackdown on people giving guns to people or some stupid thing that is already against the law Yeah It's like it's the gun show loophole or whatever they call it Well no, and thats bogus there is no such thing Mm-hmm The gun show guys... I know you can sell from the gun show I know

2:48:54 Now it's stupid. There is no gun show Lupo, but you're talking about getting people to stop selling guns I don't know what it was but its bull crap and let's listen to part two where they top it off with Redhead coming out the say the dumbest things he could possibly say Today the department announcing as they just did a major crackdown on stem the flow of guns used in violent crimes It's zero tolerance for gun dealers who willfully violate key existing laws and regulations. Biden said his latest request builds on executive orders he signed in April to deal with so-called ghost guns, those are weapons assembled using unmarked parts and Biden called on Congress to do more the White House says homicides rose 30% in gun assaults rose 8 percent in large cities last year

2:49:40 Well, there is some coded stuff in there that you may be unaware of. I thought you had a redhead in it? Where's my redhead clip? I thought the dude was a red head! No... See, I'm not biased like you. You say... Psaki. Oh, Psaki. There is something going on. This new guy over at Bureau of Alcohol and Tobacco and Firearms, I think he's reclassifying gun parts Yeah, they're trying to... I don't know how they are going to deal with that. So that's kind of sketchy? Well they're just trying to rename the parts and say oh no you can't have it. They're scrambling! Their scrambling okay yeah i do it to play this clip this is the infrastructure there's only 50 seconds on how they gonna pay their getting closer with his infrastructure bill and then Saki comes on and says a stupidest thing I can imagine

2:50:27 The White House says it is making headway in negotiations on President Biden's massive infrastructure proposal. NPR's Windsor Johnston reports a group of bipartisan senators this week said they closed the gaps on how to spend nearly one trillion dollar bill but they're still working on how to pay for it. President Biden has proposed raising the corporate tax rate to offset the cost of the spending, but Republicans have flat out rejected that Lawmakers have also floated the idea of raising the gas tax. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki says to the president, The bottom line is clear. The choice for him on the pay-fors is are you going to ask Americans who are just trying to go to work? Just trying to drive their cars to work drop their kids off at school to pay more through a gas tax or should the wealthiest Americans pay what they owe in taxes? Did you hear what she just said yes

2:51:24 as if they don't pay taxes? She said that wealthiest Americans should pay what they owe. Are they not paying what they owe? Well, if I may... That's what she implies! Yes, If I may, and I just want everyone to understand the talking points when it is part of Warren Buffett pays less in taxes than his secretary. He pay... that's maybe that's true but he pays what he owes she is saying that they don't even pay what they owe and if that is true then just like they would do to you or I there should immediately be handcuffs

2:52:04 Arrested. Arrest them, that's right! She says they're not paying what they owe What is she talking about? This is bullcrap Let's listen to that last bit again To pay more through a gas tax or should the wealthiest Americans pay what they owe in taxes But this is what they do This is the lie This is the lie about the guns It's the lie about everything it's the lie about racist voter suppression anti-black and brown community voting laws of Texas that they're, oh my god we're just a bunch of KKKers over here. Yeah that's another big lie this bullcrap. And Beto? All I want is an ID is really what it amounts to. We wanted IDs! Exactly This camel agaffe is another big lie so let's just play it and we're done as far as I'm concerned The American Rescue Plan...and here's the drumroll
