Magnetofection

00:00 You gotta train the nub. Working with dailing wire and gaffer tape, and broadcasting live from the heart of Texts Hill Country. FEMA region number 6 in the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry Dan from Northern Silicon Valley where it's not even sunny It hasn't been sunny for days And they keep telling us it is a heat wave I am John C Devorah It's Crackpot & Buzzkill In the Morning Heat? It's a heats dome Uh oh uh oh 8 8? 8 and stable

00:42 8, and right on time. Ladies and gentlemen interrupt CNBC Squawk Box we have an official Zephyr economic report We have eight cars everything stable running nice Bitcoin 33 188 And that's where everything broke down Oh my god! Woooo! Listen to that horn My touch screen has been acting up along with everything else in the new studio Ooh, great. It's not great! Sucks and I have to use my mouse it's unpredictable Oh god there anything but the mouse Well that's... My jingles you know? I pride myself on the speed of my jingles and now i have to mouse around. That sucks Nobody knows about you Hello everyone happy Canada Day There ya go Happy Canada Day everybody Very very happy Canada day absolutely

01:34 Ah, well now that we know that we have a heatwave, a heat dome. It's Canada Day the studio is in shambles I've got a bit of an echo And now it's time for 3x3 Experiment by JCD Comparing stories from ABC CBS and NBC The never-ending 3x3! That's right, time for the 3x3. JCD what do you got? And as everyone knows on Thursdays I look at the morning shows as a breakfast yes and see what they each of them are up to we're kind of lame let me guess was there lots of good news was it lots of entertainment news what did you have what did you what are you learning well this goal will start with CBS CBS has this thing called

02:19 Talk of the table. They have all these gimmicky little kind of departments that they do and this one was on FINRA fining Robinhood $70 million. Yeah, for screwing their customers out of millions. For screwing their customers but the story they told on this talk at the table was about the poor kid I didn't know this story until it is depressing but some kids some dumb kid was a customer and got a bill for $100,000 from Robinhood and committed suicide

02:59 at the family home because he was so embarrassed by the problem. I think i remember this story... The next day, he got a note saying oh sorry we made him escape! It was it was a margin call that he shouldn't have received I think or something but here's what gets me about that story just to stick with it 70 million in fines, where does it go? Does it go to the people who lost millions of dollars because of that. Now this was because they didn't educate people properly specifically on how options work I find that sketchy either you know either people can use these products unlicensed or not but they didn't give that 70 million back to people who lost money I don't think doesn't just goes straight into the US Treasury coffers

03:42 That's how we get our money. How do you think we can get money into these coffers? I've always wondered about it. And coffers, you know what a coffer is actually the Dutch word of origin? Coffin No well... Someone who coughs a lot that's a coffer A koffer K-O-F-F-E-R is a suitcase Oh yeah went into the suitcase then Yeah Then they go over to ABC where they're doing a, I don't know how long this went on. I caught the end of Becky Worley up in Seattle talking about the great smoked salmon there were her sign off was yum, yum, yum which I personally thought was beneath her but that's okay she was up there with half the staff They were all up in Seattle including story about their friendliest place in Washington

04:36 And it was just, it was obviously the tourist bureau that had paid bought and paid a bunch of you gave given ABC a bunch of money to go up there and promote Seattle because Seattle was for years the number one tourist attraction in United States. For some reason people love going to Seattle, you know they throw a fish around at Pike's market or whatever they do here and I did Scott be into toilet after the you know bad policing and they'll take over a part of the city, and the bad reputation it now has. They're probably hard up for tourists so they gave ABC a pot load of money to bring all their people up there. So yum-yum-yum to Becky. And then I cut over to NBC and I don't know what they were doing! There was a bunch of people on top of a hill dancing called Dance

05:28 And there's something they called Daybreak Party, Daybreaker Parties. Oh that sounds a lot like what my parents forced me to do when we were still in the Unitarian Church We had to drive for three hours go sit up on the hill watch the sunrise listening to Cat Stevens Morning Has Broken I wouldn't be surprised if it was some part of the same system! I still despise that song Well I don't blame you. But they so they had this and they kept asking people about what so what do you think think about it? They couldn't understand a word of the report And then they never back announced it and they had Hoda in her little quad box, had four boxes for the Today Show. And she's dancing in the box going this is great! Oh yeah this is great we don't know what it was because he never told us after you know I guess pre-announced it and then they never mentioned afterwards. Then they cut to a commercial I don't know what they were talking about NBC really stinks

06:28 Well, I've noticed a lot of ads native ads planned ads all kinds of stuff taking place the one that is On one hand, pleasant. On the other hand, oh brother is this new Pabst Blue Ribbon And here's what we need for July 4th Pabst Blue Ribbon known as its frat name PBR has a special case of beer it's a 1776 pack you know for freedom and all that The case is so big barely fits in a truck equals about 10 kegs I love the lady at the end. Ooh, like she's ready to do a kegger. Like ooh 10 kegs count me in! But the most blatant native ad which it's just a stroke of genius but man they did so many different stories is McDonald's. Dozens of Bay Area McDonald's have something extra on the menu tonight for a limited time you can get burgers and shakes with a side of Pfizer

07:34 That's right, the Pfizer vaccine is being offered at select locations. This Vallejo McDonalds is among those serving up shots today and 12-year old Ayana was relieved to roll up her sleeve at a familiar place This was really quick and easy. There wasn't a line whatsoever, you just walk in get it and walk out it was really fun. So I think it's pretty easy and I think other people who like me with anxiety is much easier It's all part of the statewide initiative to reach those who've had a hard time getting access to the vaccine 70 McDonald's locations across the state will offer vaccinations in the coming weeks. One of the biggest issues that people have raised is access I'm too busy during the day, that i need to go to a clinic at night or I need the clinic be closer to me this is part of a series of initiatives to get clinics closer to people Yeah it just... The poor girl young woman It was so fun! I loved it! Its really great to get my vaccine at McDonalds

08:36 I don't understand. They should do it the other way around you should get a vaccine and then while you're getting the vaccine they jam a Big Mac into your face! I think that's a much better promotion yeah just one of those causes the same sort of swelling, yeah so i'm in the new studio we're in The New House John good um We have not named it yet uh...we are of course in the heart of Texas hill country Call it the house. It's the house, I have a lot of boominess... panels... I can't hear it! Well Tina was very kind while I was fixing my broken headphone amp power supply by replacing it with two wires taped across and 9-volt battery she brought in she brought in a clothing rack and draped a moving blanket over that's what I that's that's a woman right there

09:37 You just turned it into her giant closet. Dead sound? Yeah, now I don't... It'll be good! I just have to get out of here. Just you didn't have enough time man. What about the dimmers tell us about the dimmers So this house..I've learned a lot now The guy who built this house we bought it from he wired everything Of course he was an IBEW trained electrician No, no he was not and in fact he you know He left me very nice. You may left me Yeah into details and there's like 20 apps you can run the house on which I have zero desire Oh, it's not a smart zero design well a lot of it is For a podcast yes There's a lot of dimmer wasn't around making noises all kinds of signals on the wires

10:34 It's all kinds of problems. Yeah, but I will say our move was we so Sunday right after the show, I packed everything up and had to pack up all the studio Monday morning. The movers came. The idea was they would pack and since you know it were well over an hour outside of Austin and probably more if you're in a slow moving truck, they would take everything to their facility and then they would come the next day for the unpack Oh, so they took everything in the facility and said they'd go over it take a look at it see what they wanted to keep? That was the idea but when they came in they said oh

11:12 Oh, Mrs. Curry you're so organized we can do all of this in one day she saved us a whole day of moving just by the... Did they cut the bill down? Yeah oh yeah it's per hour oh yeah it was half! The bill was half is unbelievable Well she should be in that business That's what I keep telling her She'd be great or it's called a move coordinator A relocation consultant I actually have a friend who does that. Oh really? Can you make any money doing that, is that... She works for one of the giant moving companies so she's an executive so i assume so but her job is focused on giant corporations

11:57 Right Google moving everything right here, right? I don't think she'd want she would like to help people Organize their it was just fantastic. Everything was color-coded In all colors of the rainbow we got the the pride pack Every room had a color is beautiful and it'll all be fantastic for the show by my Sunday no doubt anyway fail on the rain stick so far I don't believe any rain has fallen in the Midwest. Of course we got some of the back end of the stick in Austin, but we flooded Detroit, we flooded Moscow... How are things out there? Any rain? I'll tell you this supposed heat wave which is hot if you go to Sacramento It's a heat dome!

12:43 Yeah, the heat dome. Well the heat dome is not affecting me yesterday for example it never got above 62 and it was fogged in the whole day I never saw the sun today It's continuing the same thing so this isn't looking well for July 4th unless it breaks up by then It's just cold and windy and foggy. I can't, you know there is no sun it's cold. I'd have to have the heater on in the house Well that's our scorching heat here Yeah but you're in some weird pocket Global warming! You know funny thing is I've seen this same effect every year for 20-30 years In this part of the country

13:23 And I don't see any difference in it. And by the way, the mudflats are still there on season rising water either as well. Well let me skip ahead then right away. Let's get back to the dimmers. Oh who cares? I'm done with you. Hey! I just want to say two words be on look out for it mega drought mega droughts that's... You're going to hear this is going to be the mega drought this is what's going this is going to get us a decline of change. And I can guarantee you this if you're gonna predict that, ready? Mm-hmm during the mega drought there'll be some huge rainstorms, which will be part of the mega drought because that's what happens. That's how it rolls man! Of course it is the mega drought rainfall we all know how that works since we're talking about your mudflats I will skip ahead to the condo collapse in Florida as highlighted in a newsletter

14:24 I should mention that we're not going to read that note, but in the newsletter there was a complete report from a civil engineer. That should definitely be read by everybody! Yes, I think he was Dutch by the way... He might live in Denmark? No, I thought it was Danish. No, he works in Denmark. Oh you think he's a Dutch guy? Yeah, I think so. Wouter, that's a... I don't know many Danes names. Well, I could be wrong. I sent him a note and said please are you Dutch or Danish anyway The condo collapse, which I think you and I both agree with the assessment from our professionals really... And also the news reports that we see about

15:03 Repairs that needed to be done, the condo board not being able to decide it costing a lot of money and there's some technical aspects that seem spot on. Although sad its not HAARP its not a directed energy weapon it wasn't controlled demolition all very sad but it doesn't matter how it happened as long as we can put this crisis to good use. This is Erin Burnett over there on CNN with our Energy Secretary, is it Granholm? Is that how you pronounce it or Gran-Holm? Granholm. She's the one, she used to be there she was the failed governor of Michigan so they gave her this job okay well I'm gonna keep calling her grand home in terms of like grand home yeah home is much better climate you brought up what's happening we're seeing a Pacific Northwest but we've been talking a lot about what happened in Florida at the Surfside condominium building that collapsed we don't know exactly what happened at this point

16:01 But given what we know about the changing climate, given that we've seen an increase in these so-called extraordinary tides and the impact that can have in areas like South Florida. Do you think that climate could have played a role in that building's collapse? Well obviously we don't know fully but we do know that the seas are rising I mean we know that were losing inches and inches of beaches not just in Florida all around. Really? All around, John! All around we're losing inches and inches of beach all around sorry this just not true I mean we know that we're losing inches and inches of beaches not just in Florida but all around you know like Michigan where i'm from they you know we've seen the loss of beaches because the waters are rising so

16:48 You know, this is a phenomenon that will continue. We'll have to wait and see what the analysis is for this building but the issue about resiliency and making sure we adapt to this changing climate... That's going to mean levees need to be built, that means seawalls need to be built, that means infrastructure needs to be built We need to make sure that we invest enough in clearing out the forests so we don't have these weather events. We need to invest in hardening our transmission lines, maybe burying wires so that we can protect areas that are like tinderbox dry. There's so much investment that we've needed to do to protect ourselves from climate change but also to address it and mitigate it and hopefully these infrastructure bills when taken together will make a huge step

17:32 and allow America to lead again. Part of that will be the infrastructure for electric vehicles. Jen Psaki People across the country, people who care deeply about addressing our climate crisis know the components of what's in this package which the president considers a down payment not the end A down payment So 500 thousand electric vehicle charging stations nationwide That's what this would help support with a focus on our highways and rural and disadvantaged communities

18:11 It would help buy more than 35,000 electric school buses. That's what we need! Electric school buses yeah of course there you know there's one I think one or two reporters these days in the White House briefing room who are starting to ask questions it's kind of odd And there was a follow-up on this one, which I just thought it was worth playing. You just mentioned and Secretary Kerry men in the fact that the market is already heading towards electric vehicles There's no turning back from that It's an unstoppable force if that's the case why should taxpayers pay for? 500 thousand electronic electric vehicle charging stations isn't that something that will get taken care of by the market

18:55 And I think that's an outstanding question. It's a great question. Whoa, whoa! It's dubbed the great question all right? You know i think there's a role for government to play our view the president says there is a role for government to play to incentivize to ensure that there is continued movement in this direction but there's also a great deal lot of investment that's in the American Jobs Plan is about ensuring... What does it call? Market interference Yeah or crony capitalism Boney Cabela's is the other word for it. ...that there are industries and jobs that are created in sectors in the future to help the next generation survive and prosper so... Hey kids!

19:38 You won't survive and prosper without 500,000 charging stations. So yes there is a private sector partnership here there's a role of the private sector but our view is there's also a role of the public sector and that this is these are industries that are also going to create jobs um and that's part of the role we can play. No job! I know there has been criticism out there questions about how this is going impact job creation today, right? And job creation in our economy today. Or some criticism I should say from some Republicans in Congress that I've read this morning seen on Twitter but you know the president is somebody who has created will be the first in history to create a million jobs in his first hundred days. Oh! I like that! A hundred...a million jobs in his first hundred days That is if the jobs report comes out the way they want it

20:31 I'm sure they can get it up there. Now the thing about these EVs and electric school buses, what they never talk about but is starting to crop up more and more is the following issue... The fire chief just wrapping up a press conference about half-an hour ago talking about this fire The good thing here is that we don't have any injuries and that fire is contained to the building. The problem is, is that we're dealing with lithium batteries and they're trying to figure out how to fight this fire And they might be getting some help from those who fought the Rockton Fire Now the chief says this happened at about noon when his crews arrived They had no clue what was inside of that building They would soon discover from one of the business's employees superior batteries

21:13 that they had a hundred thousand pounds or more of lithium batteries inside of that building all the various sizes some as small as a cell phone batteries. Now authorities here in Morris have been asking residents to leave a two block radius and to exit the area and thats because they are concerned about the air quality I wonder if their going keep on this story, this is Illinois I mean this is really bad promotion for the electric vehicle market, but i think this fire a hundred thousand pounds of lithium ion batteries that may burn for a few days. It could blow! Yeah it can't...I guess it is? I mean I don't know how explosive they would have to be contained. We don't know about that's contained already

22:04 by the nature of the design of these batteries. This thing is, this is not good." Man if that thing blows... Oh! That'll be a party. Holy crap. It's scary. Yeah so that's where we're at infrastructure to blow us all up. Blow us up, blow us up! They're putting themselves in a bind here you know the other thing is infrastructures now Biden comes out and he starts defining it as child care that's infrastructure as far as he's concerned oh I can take you one better this is also part of infrastructure

22:42 Which is, in a weird way related to buildings etc. But this is what's happening right now in California I think. Like millions of Americans Jalyn Bailey was devastated by COVID. Devastated. We haven't just been living through the pandemic we've been living through the pandemic while wondering every night when we go to sleep if we're going to have a roof over our heads the next night. Bailey is a freelance screenwriter in an industry halted by the shutdown left without a gig, she fell behind on rent and says she's constantly worried about being kicked out. You've looked at the camping gear in your garage? Yeah, we've checked it will shelter yeah We've checked it to make sure that there's no rips and tears then sort of thing In California nearly 1 million renters are more than $4700 behind on rent If we basically too quickly remove tenant protections

23:30 before people are able to get back to work. We're just going to create the conditions for an eviction tsunami. To stop that from happening, state officials have announced an unprecedented $5 billion rescue package for renters that would pay off 100% of rent for tenants who can prove financial hardship from the pandemic and make less than 80% of the median income where they live. California's previous rent relief plan paid up to 80% of unpaid rent but tenants say it's hard to apply and landlords say it's hard to get paid. If the owners are relying upon that money to pay mortgage and property taxes, insurance and maintenance our owners have to dip into other reserves to make sure those obligations get paid Yeah I think the eviction tsunami is coming! I agree And so they're gonna hit five billion dollars to bail people out? Well they're gonna bail out the uh yeah

24:24 I don't know how they're gonna do it. They either give...I don't know if they're going to give it to the people, they're gonna give it to them to the uh... Giving it to the renters is the dumbest idea ever Why? Because they're not gonna pay their rent with it! They're gonna skip town grab the camping gear and head towards Austin That's one way of looking at it The other way you look at as you give it to the what-do-you-call-'em the landlords. You give it to the landlords and they won't give it to the tenants! Trickle down doesn't work, that's what Biden keeps saying. That's a good point... This is just a giveaway, this is going to be money whooshed, they're just thrown away yeah and you're right in both sides no matter who gets that money this tsunami is coming Yeah It's bad man, it's bad I don't know how they gonna do it

25:18 I would blame Warren Buffett and everyone else who promoted the idea of all this renting, renting. There's more apartment houses being built all over the place around here it's unbelievable Yeah well it's multifamily correct? It's no more single family homes that's almost impossible in Austin thats done with you can't build a single family home anymore They don't want you building them No what they want is lots and lots and lots of multi-family dwellings Yeah. Not too high, that's only for downtown... Tenants! Yeah tenants. Tenements I'm sorry tenements they want more tenements They want that too. They tried this before by the way it didn't work out but they're gonna try it again Exactly. Tenements.

26:02 I don't think we can avoid talking about some COVID stuff because they're ramping it up. I have COVID clips! Oh good, why don't let you go first? We've got tons of stuff to do here... Well we can play some backup stuff. No, not- I've got new stuff, don't play backup! How about using the...? I just- I just backup in other words what's going on around the world. Uh, backgrounder. You mean backgrounder. I said backup. Yeah. I'm using backup now to mean background. Okay But before that, let's listen to a little switcheroo on the wordage and unfortunately I lost it. This is some government spokeswoman or someone... Let's play this clip! This is the wrong words COVID

26:41 COVID, wrong words. Scientists have been studying similar viruses and working on this type of vaccine for decades so when this pandemic started they already had a pandemic ready to go yeah I can tell you who that is that is the most famous doctor in the United States I'm surprised you don't know her That is Dr Jill Biden Oh, that's right. I knew it! I lost track when i took that clip down Yes, that was Jill Biden the doctor Dr. Jill. Dr. Jill Biden they already had a pandemic good to go That's right and that's true And by the way she is talking about COVID she's talking about the pandemic She's acting like she is an actual doctor yes yes This is like this stupid...I mean this is yeah She's doing more

27:31 Areodite talking than Joe Bill. I do have some Biden clips, but I don't have any really good funny ones where he's screwed up a lot. They kept him under wraps pretty well. You know what? Honestly, I don't care about Biden screw-ups anymore unless he's telling the truth in them. Yeah... Just the fumbling and bumbling is like— Sorry but I'm not letting up because of your bullying. Let's go! Okay, and that's how you stand up to a bully ladies and gentlemen. Thousands of miles away! Covid USA, here is Democracy Now!, Democracy Now gives us the rundown on Covid USA Here in the US, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates the Delta variant now represents around one quarter of infections Los Angeles County is advising fully vaccinated residents to continue masking indoors due to concerns over the highly transmissible variant

28:30 Yeah, hold on. I gotta throw in some variant stuff here because this is now out of control short. This is, uh... what is this? Good Morning America. And in another headline that people were talking about has to do with masks. Masks continue to be a controversy through all of this and some way or some cause of confusion but at least one WHO saying people- Start the clip over! There was something in there that must have been hilarious what was it? Nothing! It's nothing Why is he laughing? Because these people are idiots and they're supposed to be happy and jaunty jolly in the morning That's what you do

29:08 Hey Mac everybody! That's so funny. world. So take a look at this latest in the mask controversy, World Health Organization saying just yesterday that yes people who are even vaccinated should wear masks inside remember they are making recommendations globally for the entire world here in the United States we follow the CDC recommendations now all of a sudden we follow the CDC and not the World Health Organization nice

29:58 Nice, nice. Was that a little piece of propagandizing for the public at large to tell us this? Probably but if it's not understood we can always call in Hotep Hotez the doctor from New Jersey I'm sorry the doctor from Dallas Houston I think The case is this... The Delta variant is like nothing we've seen before Nothing! It's like hay fever! The B117 variant from UK was more transmissible than the original lineage by about 50 percent. This one, the Delta is 50 percent more than that this is twice as infectious as anything we've seen before so if you're not vaccinated or if your only partially vaccinated there's a high likelihood you will become infected with this Delta variant over the next few weeks are over the summer now it's not too late now is the time to get vaccinated and if you're young adult or adolescent

30:49 don't listen to the anti-vaccine nonsense that says if you go to the gym and eat a healthy diet, that's good enough. It's not it's not the same as virus neutralizing antibodies from the vaccine." It would have been better if he said, Don't listen to podcasts! Yeah, don't listen to Joe Rogan is what he said pretty much yeah they're pushing this like one last push I don't know Go ahead. I'm going to throw in a censure because this is the last push, or do you have something to say after this clip? But this is the COVID Pfizer. This is democracy now of all places again Amy promoting Pfizer and medical researchers found that covid-19 mRNA vaccines produced by Pfizer and Moderna may offer protection against the coronavirus for years patients may still need booster shots if the virus and its variants evolve significantly Yeah, you're right It's a final push and they're even

31:43 trying to try this extra strategy. And Eva, there's an unrelated new study out of the UK about mixing vaccines what can you tell us? That's right Robin so this study looked at mixing Pfizer and AstraZeneca and it showed that mixing and matching the vaccine does work but of course that only applies in countries where AstraZeneca has been approved so not here in the United States but this This is a global pandemic, so this is really welcome news to those countries that are struggling to get enough vaccine to vaccinate their population. Robin? That's true.

32:23 That Robin at the end says that's true, like she knows what the hell she is talking about. Is odd. But what they're doing here is... It seems like it's about AstraZeneca but really they are saying hey if you got the AstraZeneca you really need a Pfizer on top of that This is a newsie the main host on the Newsy channels like chatter when these They're experimenting and they said that following back and forth between the doctor and again The host he says oh, you know I get they told us to get the first thing we could get this is live by the way He just lies. Uh-huh And so I got Johnson & Johnson which we know wasn't the first thing you could get no because that came late

33:05 And he says, I feel bad about getting the Johnson & Johnson shot. Can I top it off with a Pfizer? Top it off! Yeah, top it off. Top it off and the doctor says yes, I recommend that you do that in fact my brother had gotten to Johnson & Johnson and he just got the Pfizer and I felt really good about it And I'm watching this thinking, these is terrible. These Pfizer people if you recall during anyone should remember this and we're going to put together like a nevergreen show just of early clips uh if you remember it was no

33:44 Whatever you do, do not mix these things ever. And even when you take one to get the second one make sure it's within a certain time frame or maybe start the series over. They were very religious about this but now oh no I got the Johnson and Johnson and the guy says I don't feel real good about that can I top it off with a Pfizer? This is really... The Pfizer people are overstepping a lot They're risking people's health. You can't... if what they say is true at the beginning, why has it changed all of a sudden? It's just mix and match who gives a shit! Just take three Pfizer shots while you're at it. Yeah there was in fact that's very interesting there's let me see I can find it here yeah

34:33 So now and it's hard to tell if it's purely, if its only Pfizer marketing or if not Moderna has no marketing as far as I'm concerned. No but Johnson & Johnson... Listen to this and tell me if you think it's Johnson & Johnson or if it's Pfizer or how it works this is the UK talking about the AstraZeneca but I believe also about the Australian version of our AstraZeneca which The way I recall it is the one they stopped producing because people started testing positive for HIV. You remember that?

35:10 I vaguely remember something like that but i don't know if it was from Australia. Yeah well let's see what this is... Half of the United Kingdoms population is now fully vaccinated with AstraZeneca a pillar of its rollout and last night National Cabinet decided to make the Australian version of the jab available to everyone under 40 If you wish to get the AstraZeneca vaccine then we would encourage you to go and have that discussion with your GP And The Commonwealth will now cover the legal costs any adverse effects from prescribing any vaccine. All vaccines for all health care providers, for all recipients But the mixed messages just keep coming There are some people who have been asking to get AstraZeneca although the clinical advice is that they should not I mean what was that report even about? Wow! That's the clip of the day...I'm giving you a clip of the day because it's such a crazy stupid lousy clip

36:09 It does beg the question, what was that clip about? Well I think the clip was about it was like dessert at a good restaurant. I'm going to tell this little story... There used to be a place in San Francisco called Masa's and I ate there number of times. It was considered the best restaurant in San Francisco for awhile, it was kid guy came out of New York. He is a famous Japanese French chef and I eat there but the food was never that good but the desserts were so spectacular That's all you remember. You always remember the last thing and this was tested again in beauty pageants that would as the pageant goes by, you can do this and watch this yourself As the pageant goes by The judging gets less and less rigid And so the girls who come late in the pageant get higher marks than the girl who especially the number one Contestant she always gets screwed Mm-hmm. And so whatever comes at the end is all that really matters?

37:08 was proven in a restaurant review and proven in beauty pageants, and what was at the very end of that report is all that mattered. Which was don't get AstraZeneca! Well this is interesting... Very tricky marketing I have to say that's high-end So this theory was used in beauty pageant? No, it was noticed. These were not theories that were implemented... I think it was purposely implemented at these restaurants because they knew that if you blew somebody away at the end of the meal they'd go away with oh what a great restaurant! The beauty pageant thing was an observation somebody did by using statistics

37:53 Explain this as your dessert then. A new tonight history made at the pageant Now for the first time ever a transgender woman has been crowned Miss Nevada USA And 13 Action News anchor Jackie Kostick spoke with the winner and finds out what this win means to the LGBTQ community It's amazing because it's Pride Month, and it's the 52nd anniversary of Stonewall so This is what its come too What what a sad day, what a sad day for women Women are getting screwed over by this whole... And by the way, I don't care really for the beauty pageant. That's all that it is you know so i really don't care as like we're judging women based upon how they look yeah It's an anachronism to the woke culture that somehow has been made relevant By changing this one aspect of it

38:54 Because of course beauty pageants should be completely banned. Just looking at equity and men and women, but no instead we're doing this so I'm fine with that! Women's sports should be banned but no now we're gonna have men. So i have no problem with that at all. I will have my woman complain about the way women's sports have been handled is that they lost, the women had a number of women-specific sports that have been somewhat either completely marginalized kicked off or just banned from being played anymore. And one of them was I think it's called six man basketball if these women played it and it was a form of basketball that was fascinating that was for women and it was played mostly in the Midwest. It's like an obscure sport now where you had

39:51 essentially an offensive team and a defensive team. So the three people would play in the front court, and three people in the backcourt, and they would never cross over at the midline it was right fascinating form of basketball but because it was women's you know I didn't fall into title nine or whatever they're using to change things...I don't know just a personal grudge can we go back to COVID? Yeah, we'll revisit this topic later. Yes let's go back to COVID Let's go to the Brazil update Ooh okay yes it's always good to bring in some something from our foreign correspondents is called sheep dipping In Brazil COVID-19 which has killed at least 516 thousand people caused life expectancy decline an estimated 1.3 years in 2020 a stark finding and the country where the second worst death toll after the United States

40:44 thanks they have to hound Brazil because it's run by this Trump of the South of course there's no yeah so yes I can't have that. So they're gonna ruin him? Indonesia, let's go there and see what is going on. As the Delta variant threatens to hamper COVID-19 recovery efforts around the world The Red Cross is warning Indonesia is on the edge of catastrophe as health systems struggle to keep up with the influx of patients This is a nurse in Jakarta A lot of cases were dead on arrival because of lack of beds What? Did you hear that? Wait a minute, I want to hear the end. A lot of cases were dead on arrival because of lack of beds So people were dead because they had no beds No worse than that They were dead on arrival Yeah Because of no beds Because of the lack of beds How does that work? So they came in In other words they died on the ambulance or just dead And if there was bed

41:47 I think i can explain it. You have to be pronounced dead before you're dead so they show up, they come into the hospital they're waiting there they're dead and then they check say oh he's dead we didn't have a bed uh...so that it's lack of beds. I don't know its Amy why are even talking about it? It wasn't her talking it was some reporter. It's her report! They're dead on arrival Dead on arrival is dead on arrival. I don't care what it... beds or no beds Yeah, this is the kind of reporting we get from democracy now A lot of cases were dead on arrival because a lack of beds I do not know what they meant but sounds pretty lame Check in with team Halo over on TikTok as you know the Jen Psaki hosted TikTok stars at the White House for a briefing

42:48 I didn't know this. Yes, taking a page from President Trump only you know he got bloggers and youtubers and maybe some podcasters let's see happening soon Jen Psaki in meeting with internet stars for the first ever social media briefing Mmm, yeah. Let's see oh among questions about poverty reduction immigration and making life better for teachers sake in the internet stars Bantered about Lady Gaga how to get kids to quit asking for expensive toys capes and spirit animals Wow I have to go it was it was

43:32 Interestingly, it wasn't on TikTok. They put it on YouTube I'm gonna have to watch that! I want to see some of the interaction But here's the result There is an important update about the Delta variant You've probably heard by now that its 60% more transmissible than the Alpha variant which means twice as transmissible as the original COVID but new modeling shows that thats not the only reason why it was spreading so strongly in India Turns out even if you had COVID before It's able to escape that immunity almost 46 percent of the time Compared to the vaccines, which are still showing between 80 and 88% protection versus the Delta variant. So if you're someone who's had COVID and has been relying on their natural immunity to protect them, you might want to think again and still go and get those vaccines

44:11 Go and get those vaccines kids. You might want to think about it, go and get the vaccine." And they're doing this everywhere. Tonight mask confusion as a growing number of top doctors in now the most populous county in the nation Los Angeles says even the vaccinated should wear a mask and keep their social distance indoors We're flying by the seat of our pants here. Breaking from CDC guidance, LA County is now aligned with the WHO urging universal mask use in public spaces indoors citing the spread of the Delta variant for the new voluntary safety measure I wanted to wear a mask today Even the Illinois governor setting an example but the backtrack on guidance just before gatherings for the 4th of July is sending mixed messages

44:58 implementing a mask mandate in the absence of, you know broader spread of the virus is likely to erode the ability to implement these kinds of measures when we need them. We need to give the public a breather. Gaining ground every day, the highly contagious and dangerous Delta variant now accounts for 26% of COVID cases in the U.S., and now a new small study says mRNA vaccines may provide protection for years with caveats Some even suggesting those vaccinated with J&J get a booster with an mRNA vaccine. There it is! You need a booster now this is what's weird I think what's happening is they have the small study that came out, the small study shows that hmm the mRNA vaccines Pfizer and Moderna may have protection for years and years in years

45:52 Well, that is not a message Pfizer or Moderna want out there. So that's I think why they're saying but you know if you've had the Johnson & Johnson you might as well get this because it's years and years and years and years! Meanwhile some good news... A new study suggests the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines might provide long-term protection even without a booster shot What this study adds is that our immune systems are continuing to make antibodies. That's great news, immunity may last for years but we still need to see a little bit more data about if the elderly immunocompromised people may need boosters or if people who were previously recovering from COVID-19 and getting vaccinated may not need boosters at all. We just have to wait and see. Health experts say people at high risk will be the first to get booster shots if they're needed. Did you hear that one little comment in there? Which one? The one it says have you actually had COVID

46:43 You won't need a booster? Hold on, so let me hear it again. We still need to see a little bit more data about if the elderly immunocompromised people may need boosters or if people who were previously recovering from COVID-19 and getting vaccinated may not need boosters at all we just have to wait and see So oh interesting! If you recovered AND your vaccinated you won't need a booster Can you believe that?! I would hope not But this is the point... The breakthrough cases are exactly these people This is a problem. It's a huge problem for the marketing people again, I mean there has to be... First of all it's a small study here's what's gonna have to happen and this will happen the study will be debunked Yeah yeah yeah it's pre-print only so bah! It's too small a study not to be the case we'll start hearing stories about it now it's not true and then there's going to be a second thing that I will predict

47:40 is that Johnson & Johnson, they're gonna find a way to do a study. They'll just pay for it Some phony baloney study that if you get their shot it turns out to last a lot longer than they expected Because they're not pushing the booster idea The Johnson & Johnson shot you have to remember is cheap shot It's only 10 bucks Oh really? I didn't realize that. No, but I brought him down to the Johnson & Johnson shot is $10, the Pfizer's 20, 1995 or some stupid marketing price. The Pfizer is 20 and the Moderna 30 Well let's...

48:21 Here what dr. Fauci has to say he still is allowed to go out and do interviews And this is somehow you know the way, he's on his legal It's I hit it I do want to ask you as we when we get into the fall Is there any risk of another wave or a surge in kovat? Or have we are the worst days behind us well what we're gonna see likely is two separate situations Lester okay if you are fully vaccinated It is extremely unlikely that you're going to see a surge. If you are unvaccinated in those pockets, if you look at the map of the country, there are certain states particularly some of the southern states where the level of vaccination is really I think dangerously low as you get into the fall and you will see a countrywide surge. You'll see surges that are regional

49:10 Uh-huh. Yeah, oh yeah no it's regional so they're gonna focus on that and if Lester Holt missed a big something I mean... Now listen to this, tell me if you hear the same thing I'm hearing what Dr. Fauci is saying. Is it a given in your opinion that the Delta variant will become the predominant variant in this country and what does that mean for unvaccinated people? Well there's very little doubt Lester that the um...that the Delta variant is not going to become the dominant every country that it has gone into- Did you hear what he said?! Yeah, I said not. There's very little doubt that it is not going to become... Let me hear it again. Well there's very little doubt Lester that the Delta variant is not gonna become the dominant every country that it has gone through. Is this how truth wants to come out? Or he just confused with his negatives? I think he knows that isn't gonna be the dominant.

50:10 I think so too. He's doing one of those phraseology tricks where you put it in such a way that people think you're saying one thing but you're saying another and then when you called out on it, you go back to him and say did you hear what I said? Yeah didn't you listen to what I said! I don't think he's that smart. I really do not. I don't think he is into wordsmithing. Well you are probably right... well you may be wrong now that I think about this guy isn't a dummy. He has been doing this for years and he has been getting away with it He's really good at saying, oh well when I was talking about the masks. Oh yeah he is good at that! Yeah you're right, it was clear at the time what i meant exactly Let's look at some vaccine incentives of course we already had our McDonald's incentive this is the governor of Louisiana who has a handy tip You can take simple steps to prepare for hurricanes including getting a COVID-19 vaccine

51:10 You have one in your kit, just a syringe in there ready to go. I just want to hear it one more time! You can take simple steps to prepare for hurricanes including getting a COVID-19 vaccine. I love my job Unbelievable. Not as much as the governor of West Virginia loves him, his job now we've been tracking this goomba This guy who uh... Now he said do it for the baby dog remember? He had his bulldog you know I'm gonna shoot my dog if you don't all get vaccinated Well the guy talks with such and such a characteristic I can barely understand what he's talking about That's the guy! Well when you turn your back and say nope i'm not doing that

52:03 All you're doing is entering the death drawing. There were six, there was six today How many's are going to be the next time we sit down? How many's are gonna be on next Tuesday I'm betting it'll be eight or nine If i knew and then ill quit if i knew for certain that theres gonna be 8-9 people die by next Tuesday And I could be one of them if i don't take the vaccine? What in the world do you think I would do

52:45 I mean, i would run over top of somebody. Cause' I don't want to take the chance when the wheel spins... that it could come up Jim Justice? I don't want to take that chance! I think this is exactly- we need to make this a game show It's so obvious! You have your contestants Alright everybody its time to roll that big wheel Wait where's my wheel? I need a wheel Damn it. Thought I had a wheel. Ah, don't have a wheel... damn! Shoot. I was ready for a Wheel Effect- Nope, I don't have one. Eh, I'll work on it

53:27 Yeah, all right. Now to some of the scientific stuff just briefly may be interesting to hear for under a minute from the inventor of mRNA technology Dr Robert Malone he's been around I'm always looking for just a short clip so we can get right to the nucleus of what he is saying A lot of long podcasts So he invented the technology, it's been around for a long time. He is very specific about how long it would take to know if its safe and spoiler-it's not! It IS true that we don't know what the long term effects are going to be and it's not just the technology and the specific chemicals that are being used for wrapping the RNA in this little FedEx package... We call it the payload

54:19 the thing that's expressed, the protein. In this case it is the spike protein. A lot of these side effects I suspect strongly are a consequence of what is being produced and spike wasn't the only option, it was just kind of an easy option that was chosen at first and I suspected in next generations we're going to see very different things than biologically active spikes will see But you're absolutely right. We can't know what the long-term effects are unless we give enough time to assess them. You want two years after a lot of people have been vaccinated." Alright, so it sounds inconclusive so far how safe it is and these spike proteins... The way he's talking about it seems almost like well just throw this shit at it that'll probably work I mean

55:10 None of this sounds great. That's exactly what they did. He says that was the easiest way yeah And then and this blew me away because I had written it off we This may be an end zone dance, but we'll probably have to wait a while magneto faction we talked about this about the The magnetized arms yes somehow it the magnetized arm somehow Brass keys which aren't even magnetic will stick to those arms. It's unbelievable now you're making this up I haven't seen brass key stick to it I have I've seen brass keys more than once and and you're not being facetious You mean it he was that you saw brass keys, and on various YouTube videos yeah There's one recent that was I think even floating around under no agenda Massad on them then it must be true

56:05 Well, we talked about this in the context of several patents and technology that exists of controlling animals with magnetic substances that are in their brain and you can make them very, very happy. And so of course I took this straight to 5G and we laughed about it but now it turns out that magnetofection is a real thing. It is the reason why people are seeing magnetic effects from the area where they've received their mRNA shot and this is Dr., what's her name?

56:44 Dr. Jane something or other now look it up. It's real we know it's real There's an entire science in the literature about it, and we also know something else that's really tragic and horrific It was intentionally added to these injections why you're asking me? Because it is a more aggressive delivery mechanism to get it into every cell in your body. It's a process called magnetofection and all this information is readily available, you can do the research yourself, you can look at the government website PubMed to look at peer-reviewed journal studies that have been published on this particular science. And what it is, Stu, is they are using magnetic fields through different chemicals to actually concentrate the RNA, the mRNA into people's cells. This isn't in alignment with everything we've been reporting for weeks now we just know what and how is behind these magnetic phenomenon where people are having these items or sticking to them So what it is, is part of a lipid nanoparticle

57:45 It's a super delivery system and there are places in your body that other synthetic DNA or RNA should not be going. Yet this approach forces the material, the mRNA encoding to force your cells again to make over and over again these dangerous spike proteins all over your body. It is actually a forced gene delivery system You're going to be hearing something more and more about something called SPIONS. It's an acronym, S-P-I-O-N-S And it stands for Supra Magnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Where they are putting this magnetic field technology is in and around the lipid nanoparticle envelope To get this mRNA into your cells I love it! I have no idea if she's full of crap or not This is bullshit

58:39 By the way, who is she saying when she says we have been reporting? We have been reporting. Who is she talking about? Oh this is from some uh something on the equivalent of Cheddar you know one of those channels so I think that's what she means She's probably THE doctor for THE...for WE Jane Ruby Dr. Jane Ruby hold on let me look around Already sounds like a phony baloney name doesn't it But I like playing these things because you never know Hey they're out there You can find them play em Exactly. So I can say bullshit or I can go old brother? Jane Ruby, Jane Ruby. Jane... Okay, Jane Ruby is a Washington DC based television personality now because that's the right one yes

59:24 Oh, new right political pundit film producer author of a sea of new media and has hosted several television shows such as Dr. Jane's DC and Inside Look TV magazine A graduate of University of Rochester she holds two doctoral degrees in education psychology to masters degrees in nursing and international health economics And is highly published in global health economics as well as contemporary media and social issues, books and articles blah blah blah. Could be could be. By the way I thought you were going to go in a different direction I think it would be more interesting because there is some evidence of this

1:00:08 Which is the idea, because Scott Adams had a tweet I was trying to post it on the Macedon account but they wouldn't take the photo. Yeah i know Because I had over exceeded my limit Excuse me stop! Did you get a message that said you've exceeded your limit? yeah A message came up saying you have exceeded your limit Well why didn't you put that in your error message when you posted who do I complain too Is that my voice? No, let me try it again. That's your voice. He got me down as a comic strip blogger now. I'm sorry crossover. Let's go back to this what i was trying to post was Scott Adams tweet which I thought was fascinating because it falls back into something we used to talk about and we stopped talking about okay

1:00:58 Which is, Scott says you know I felt...I got my Pfizer shot. Poor guy! He says he got my Pfizer shot and I felt liberated. No it wasn't superhuman that's what we used to talk about this one was he felt liberating before that he felt like he was imprisoned Oh wow well he was imprisoned in his own home Well, it's a good prison to have. But I would say if he had done...I mean, I went out during the whole beginning of this thing because I was media exempt. They knew who I was. I took a look at the edict for the various counties. I read them nobody else does this and it said what I could do and what I couldn't do. I didn't listen to the news. They're not telling me anything accurate

1:01:44 So I figured out what i could do, and what I couldn't do. And when I was fine! I just went to the did whatever it felt like doing. I had to wear a mask with the lot but that was...I didn't feel imprisoned. Yeah hold on..to be fair Scott Adams has uh I believe some respiratory issues When the fires were burning around California he didn't go out so I think he has some Look, the guy is a mess. Medically the guy's a mess. He has weird health issues that are weird too. Yeah he got a lot of problems yeah But what's this shot gonna do? Invincible was the term invincible I'm gonna right that's where we go back to now if you're what they're saying with this woman is saying it's true and we take from a different perspective instead of this magnetic thing and say that it it's used to calm animals and make him feel happy

1:02:33 This is what the... this isn't, this is going in that direction where you all they got the shot. Oh I feel so happy because it's actually does have this effect maybe there is something Wow at least yeah what do you think? I like it! This is why there's two of us. I like that a lot yes okay keep our eye on that We have to go back to that train of thought. Yes, yes well the invincible you're exactly right and people kept saying I feel so good like oh I got a rush like it was ready to go You know we thought...I think at least i did Yeah we thought people were just so depressed by being locked down They were relieved and they felt yes we thought it was psychological but is it possible that it wasn't psychological? It wasn't some bullcrap! It was real

1:03:23 Because of this effect that we're discussing here. Oh my goodness, that's a good one! I'm gonna have to look up some of those clips for Sunday show. Yeah, we got to get back to those now the one thing that is really encouraging to see is The Ivermectin story it's kind of unstoppable Fox News is all over it no clips obviously But, you know... screw Fox News. They weren't all Ivermectin before because they have a... you know they've got what do you call them? Oh yeah advertisers! Pharmaceutical advertisers big problem. Yeah, Ivermectin we have to remember is cheap. Like really cheap like a nickel Well on the Bill Maher show

1:04:09 Bill Maher, I have to give it to the guy. He's wrong on lots of stuff but man sometimes he really comes through and you won't hear much... well you will hear some but not much applause from his audience as they sit down with Dan Carlin who we know is Dan from Hardcore History Podcasts to talk about ivermectin but also really about the censorship Because that was his whole spiel before is you couldn't post about it and Google took it down YouTube took it down and and then about Bret Weinstein, all this stuff. And so here's his little bit. This is outrageous that I can't look this information up and now they're doing it with this drug ivermectin? They threw Bret Weinstein off YouTube or almost he's one strike away. YouTube should not be telling me what I can see about ivermectin. Ivermectin isn't the registered Republican! It's a drug! Well, I don't know if it works or not and a lot of other doctors don't either

1:05:07 This dovetails into the monopoly thing though. If you didn't have such control over, I mean searches for example this wouldn't be as much of an issue because if you didn't go to Google you could go somewhere else and you can go somewhere else but when you have a market... What is it? 90% Google controls on searches? Yeah at that point this is a function of the monopoly When it becomes the word for doing it You have a monopoly Yes People don't say I'm gonna Bing something Oh Is that true, Bill Maher? Bing it. Just bing it! I have that somewhere don't I? That's not it... No You had a better one Based on the uh... Just bing it! Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun just bing it

1:06:07 Exactly. Bingit.io is where you want to go, bingit.io I have two more because just to prove the mainstream is all over ivermectin and it's okay to talk about which can only mean that something new was coming and I'm pretty sure that will be a revisit of ivermectin we were hearing Pfizer is coming up with the pill Merck might be coming up with the pill Dr Pierre Cori the guy responsible for de-platforming was with the crypto Cougar So, does this boil down to money then Dr. Corey? I mean this drug made by Merck, ivermectin is off patent they're not making any money on it anymore but now Fauci says he's looking at a drug that's going to be a patented drug made by Merck aren't the underlying chemicals the same so now they're gonna have that on patent so that they could make a huge profit on it

1:07:03 Well, that's I mean that is so clearly the it's a glaring example of the system that we're in which is that for-profit medicines are favored to almost the total exclusion of nonprofit medicines and so you see all this money being thrown at pharmaceutical companies to develop new therapies when we already have existing repurposed drugs that are highly effective. They will never develop a drug that is more effective than Ivermectin, I find it absurd our government just gave you know committed over four billion dollars in two different areas this week to try to find an oral antiviral early treatment therapy We have it now! We can save so many lives This is a treatable disease we've identified that drug and it needs to be systematically

1:07:48 deployed throughout the healthcare system. Okay, that's a big change for any news network to be doing That was mass, yes. And that's a great clip and wait he takes it one step further over 100000 patients lives would have been saved had the NIH instituted ivermectin when we presented to them in early January if they had done what Mexico did over 100000 American lives would've been saved an around the world if they'd followed our lead were talking about over a million lives based just on that paper How is this getting through? I mean someone said okay

1:08:24 I mean Fox has pharma ads or hmm wait they're just gonna blame it on Fauci, I guess. Fauci and well the media will take no blame but that's where the blame is because was a Trump thing This really has me stopped in my tracks I'm trying to process how they're getting... what's going on here. There is something going on Is it maybe a part of the whole walk back? The whole quick turnaround that we've seen? Maybe this other boot hasn't dropped yet The walk back, by the way he uses the term non-profit drugs Those drugs make a profit Hell yeah

1:09:10 He said non-profit. What he should say is non gouging drugs. Yeah, those drugs make all the generic drugs make a profit of course they do and in fact the big as far as I remember from our own reporting The big pharma companies bought up all of the generic company so it's really the same company yeah there's a lot of unfortunately that should be illegal uh yeah Yeah, something's up. I think that clip is... those are important clips you should put them aside we have to play them again not today but i'm just saying somethings up yeah But the thing that was important in that comment by this guy was the idea of a number of lives unnecessarily lost

1:10:02 is really gonna be a kicker. That's a big deal for, I mean it's Fox Business News so believe me at this moment a lot more people are listening to this podcast than watch that! Yes that's probably true We give it a little boost there but hmm interesting Alright, well that stopped me in my tracks. Yes! Well do you have anything else on the Covids or are we... I think that i'm looking at my Covid stuff No, I do have something as kind of an offshoot of the Covid Okay sure Because I was just thinking about it so I was looking at my clip list here which I don't have printed out because my printer doesn't work What's wrong with the printer? Just borked? It just borked. I can get it to work but you got to reboot this and that That's the drivers. It's always the drivers

1:10:52 But I was, we played that clip. We may play that clip again it was pretty short which was the clip from COVID Indonesia cases Because play that clip again and then I want to play a follow-up clip. And tell me if maybe there's a connection As the Delta variant threatens to hamper COVID 19 recovery efforts around the world, The Red Cross is warning Indonesia is on the edge of catastrophe as health systems struggled to keep up with the influx of patients This is a nurse in Jakarta A lot of cases were dead on arrival because of lack of beds Okay, I still like it. That's our clip now Let's play this clip and tell me maybe there's something something else going on here play Indonesia China USA The US in Indonesia are building a new maritime training center in the South China Sea that's to counter the Chinese regime's increasing threat in the region

1:11:47 The $3.5 million center is located at the strategic meeting point of the Malacca Strait and the South China Sea. The Malacca Strait is a strategically crucial chokepoint for global maritime trade, connecting the Indian Ocean and the Pacific. The U.S. Ambassador to Indonesia Sung Kim said last week that the center would strengthen security in the region. The decision to build the center comes amid rising tensions in the South China Sea. Since April, hundreds of Chinese vessels have been lingering around the Spratly Islands. The Philippines have repeatedly protested against them and Indonesia also revealed earlier this month that it had been planning to expand its submarine fleet from four vessels to 12." Okay so... the Chinese are killing people? Well... To make a point! To make a point! Maybe... To make a point!

1:12:40 I mean the accusations are now everywhere that they, you know the Chinese yeah they lost control of the virus so they said screw it let's infect everybody. Why wouldn't they use that over and over again? Well it's a good point uh all I know is this seems like too much of a coincidence this idea that... And by the way its not being reported that was NTD didn't you know Tang new Tang dynasty whatever it is you tank line knew if you knew one tang yeah And it's like that's not be our mainstream media is not reporting any of this international stuff. That's going on It was quite a bit that's happening Yeah, well so and those are just on that and we don't have to stick on it too long I think

1:13:34 I think this Bill Cosby thing was a distraction and it was meant to distract from a lot of things, probably in particular from former President Trump going to the border and making a big splash. That was... Yeah, I keep hearing this too but i'm telling you, my local newsroom left wing area The Cosby thing was not even barely reported. It's just the opposite of what happened! Interesting I keep hearing this, oh it's a big distraction Yeah Where is it the distraction? They're talking about Trump at the border here on the local news in the San Francisco Bay Area Okay but local... I can't see it all over Sure sure John, it's a local story for local news But national news, it was really all about Cosby

1:12:40 I mean the accusations are now everywhere that they, you know the Chinese yeah they lost control of the virus so they said screw it let's infect everybody. Why wouldn't they use that over and over again? Well it's a good point uh all I know is this seems like too much of a coincidence this idea that... And by the way its not being reported that was NTD didn't you know Tang new Tang dynasty whatever it is you tank line knew if you knew one tang yeah And it's like that's not be our mainstream media is not reporting any of this international stuff. That's going on It was quite a bit that's happening Yeah, well so and those are just on that and we don't have to stick on it too long I think

1:13:34 I think this Bill Cosby thing was a distraction and it was meant to distract from a lot of things, probably in particular from former President Trump going to the border and making a big splash. That was... Yeah, I keep hearing this too but i'm telling you, my local newsroom left wing area The Cosby thing was not even barely reported. It's just the opposite of what happened! Interesting I keep hearing this, oh it's a big distraction Yeah Where is it the distraction? They're talking about Trump at the border here on the local news in the San Francisco Bay Area Okay but local... I can't see it all over Sure sure John, it's a local story for local news But national news, it was really all about Cosby

1:14:16 I mean, the news broke. I was monitoring every single channel Cosby, Cosby, Cosby, Cosby, Cosby then a follow-up and then a woman who you know... You're talking about the networks? Yes of course the networks! The local stories that doesn't count. Of course we got all with the local stories in Austin will tell you that Austin is a shithole but you're not gonna get that on the national news no way No way. I just don't see that, yeah okay well maybe the national news played up the Cosby thing a bit... No! A lot and it was on the same day Trump was there Okay let's take it from another perspective See? I'm not buying this argument but lets take it from another perspective Let's say the Cosby thing never happened Are they gonna cover Trump? I don't think so Okay Yeah fair Fair I mean someone would cover him

1:15:12 Look, I don't know. The national news they put him aside and they leave him there. Cosby was just convenient it wasn't if he wasn't if there was no coffee's Cosby story there'd be no Trump wouldn't be covered anyway they don't like Trump No... okay They're not gonna cover this thing because it's a publicity stunt I just don't see it. Okay, that'll see Cosby being a big giant distraction personally Yeah, I felt it was that's all there was on the network so Huge collapse buildings no they interrupted the collapsed buildings for the Cosby stuff all day yesterday That's okay But your point is valid that probably was not distracting from Trump although It did

1:16:03 I mean, just look at the news that is being plastered in our face. You yourself did the three by three this morning. Alright? It's Britney Spears... it's Cosby and then Kondo. It's the BCC Yeah, I did the three by three and none of those three stories that you just mentioned were in the 3x3. But what were the stories? Were they interesting stories about the world in general? No! They were stupid. They're always stupid and they were promotional entertainment promotional crap. That's why we have to do this at least twice a week. I could do it...I could do an extra day I'm telling ya there is so much going on. No you couldn't. Ah don't tempt me Well you already do two other podcasts

1:16:52 How many podcasts do you want to do? I wanna do it non-stop. That's all I wanna do, day in and day out! And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage to say In the Morning To You The man who put the C in Can't Fix The Printer John C Dvorak Well in the morning to you Mr. Adam Curry also in the morning all ships and sea boots on the ground feet-in-the air subs in the water and all the dames and knights out there In the morning to the trolls of the troll room hold on a second here we go let's off they're scurrying around hands up trolls how many do we have? Now what is supposed to be a good number for a Thursday show A Thursday show uh, and its peak was probably average around 1850 1828 today so we're pretty good We're doing good people are tuning it in It's also I wonder why

1:17:35 Because there's so much going on people need why what's more is going on than last Thursday They need the guiding light the guidance more guiding like do they need then lasters? Hey, why don't you go in the troll room and ask them I'm sure they'd be happy to just asking the obvious question There's some things up if they know that there's more than usual here You too can join the more-than-usual amount of trolls by going to troll room dot io That's where you find our No Agenda stream that plays along. Everyone hears the same stream at the same time and then you can chat about it if it's a live show, you could troll thats fine too but there is also podcasts roll out in between the live shows and its 24-7 go in there check out the trolls Trollroom.io or if you want

1:18:25 Follow us on our Mastodon federated instance You can follow at Adam and no agenda social comm or at John C Dvorak at Noah gender social calm you can recognize Johns postings by the lack of images since he's He's been limited any complaints screwed man. It's exactly right Shattering me there they're banished a shadow banning me my images And we need to thank the artists for the artwork for episode 1359. The title of that was Sheep Digging and this artwork was The Cornhole League brought to you by Brad1x Now, there were a couple things we're going to say about the art choices This was this was the big cornhole...the big cornhole artwork but there were number of things which of course you forced the cornhole

1:19:20 As you always do now here. I'm gonna, I remember very-I took notes So you first like the I am disappointed flying saucer picture? You liked that one. I did yes, you did He said okay. I like it and I said it's too sparse It's really not and the flying saucer is going to be too small then we talked about It's taking me forever to get that. Okay, I'm here now you got it Yeah, then there was the two cornhole yes, okay? I like yes, I did yeah, I did like that flying saucer when I just thought it was kind of I just had a certain thing to The corn hole one was the best because if it's just it was well done But it wasn't funny and we both talked about this Yes Well now I have I have to

1:20:10 discuss something else as we go on through this because it was the show before. I think Tante Neo had this art with the... in fact let's go back to it. Oh, okay do you mean the Nike stuff or what? No no the one before that with the house no agenda new horror budget book. That's two shows ago Okay, was that two shows ago? I think so. Yeah. Okay. She sent a note Yes about the orange background about the we complained about the background color She says the background colors are identical on both those artworks all in fact The card is identical the background colors identical nothing was changed she says it's only because of the image Change and it gives an optical illusion of darkness. I think I call it I say it's bullshit I'm looking at it right now tell me well this is very interesting

1:21:11 Because I remember those two colors. Now, I'm colorblind so I think that i'm very susceptible you said... because I was looking at just the logo versus the big Parliament building the coat of arms and you said I liked the orange on that other one better and when I looked at the two and they're diagonal on the page right under each other I saw a different color. Now that you just said this, I can't tell the difference it looks like the background color is the same. There's an old trick Is this dress blue silver? No You take a piece of paper and run it across the top of that card so you only see no agenda or pardon me says no age and you see the background color yeah do it on both images at the same time okay did this is darker I'm sorry

1:22:07 I think she screwed up and made it darker by accident. I can't see it. Well, I've got software that can make this determination. I'll do it later. Ah! We're going to do some forensic analysis? I like this. Yes. All right. Zoom, enhance, rotate... all right and then what happens if it turns out that she was wrong? If it's off by one hex I'm gonna ridicule her to an extreme. I'm going to grouse and moan, I don't know nothing's gonna happen the arts done We really appreciate Brad 1x And all of the artists of course for the outstanding work They always do it's a part of our value for value model you can support us financially You could support us with information Yeah your expertise

1:22:58 That can be talent, time as well. Artists usually put both in and the artists are fantastic they do this stuff during the show just in it's kind of like Bitcoin mining you know they're just doing it to in hopes of getting that one bitcoin which would be the equivalent of being chosen for the artwork so there's something I think it's fulfilling for them and I think they... Well I think you know it's almost like an element of knitting You know people knit when doing stuff. Yeah, listening to the show they might knit a sweater so they're just doing it they're just partied are they just doing art without even like second nature almost? They're listening and they're doing their art because I don't know if you've ever known any artists in school like even in grammar school people that were real I mean there were just natural artists and it's like in the eighth grade there'd be one kid

1:23:46 Just essentially no matter what was going on in class, they're drawing all the time. Yeah Tina's like that on the phone she's always doodling she draws and doodles yeah there so just people that just draw and they draw they never stop drawing their drawing all the time and that's what it's second nature is like not a surprise to me that you have them doing it during this show Well, we really love it and keep it going. These things often show up over at noagendashop.com and the artists get a piece of that with hats mugs t-shirts hoodies you name it And of course you can see... Did you get your mug? Did you get the world's greatest dad COVID survivor mug? Was it sent to the PO box? No I don't think so. If it was sent to the P.O box then Oh! This was awhile ago this was awhile back wasn't it

1:24:41 Yeah, like a month ago. Yeah I think i did yeah I think so world's greatest... I can't remember who sent it but I want to thank them Thanks to all of our artists you have if you're using a podcasting 2.0 app you can see all of these images flying by It's our cloud chapters as they're known Do you talk about all the features of Podcasting 2.0? But President Trump said something just the other day that I want to remind everybody was, the mission one of the podcast index was to preserve podcasting as a platform for free speech listen to Trump. You can't be censured by Amazon and by Google and by Apple and by all...you know that's the problem! I mean are you so what happened with a parlor or parlay as they sometimes call it but

1:25:29 you take a look at what happened to power and others, they get shut down as soon as somebody puts something that's somewhat controversial. No, you have to have your own cloud or you have to have your own means of getting it out because they'll... As soon as you get big or powerful or you start saying anything that's somewhat conservative they will censor you and they will take you off. That's right! And that's part of what is over 4 million podcasts now track no deplatforming can't be put platform which you can't touch exactly decentralization is the way to go now let's thank a few decentralized producers exactly we have quite a slew of them today I believe and they're all decentralized in starting with Daria or Akatini in Vaughan Ontario Canada $463.33 she's at the top of the list she actually gave this money before it got kicked back door for some reason oh oh gee

1:26:29 What a better way to celebrate Canada Day and the arrival of our third human resource than in gifting myself a Dame hood. Nice! Our baby daughter was born on June 15th, and I can relate to not wanting to be called a birthing person as some kind of third person lol for the name Dame Daria is great And for the roundtable please add sashimi as that's what I miss the most during pregnancy. Yeah and a good dry white wine, John my any recommendations? Kistler Chardonnay let's do that hold on a second i gotta put this in now kistler chardonnay you got it thank you for keeping us sane with the best show in the universe one more quick and interesting note my oldest son was referred to

1:27:25 We refer to an a-a-a particular aller joli-allergologist. Allergeologist? And then it says geologist an allergy specialist is what I would say, by his pediatrician. The receptionist called a couple of days ago to make an appointment and said that in order for the child to come by for an in-person appointment both parents have to be fully vaccinated from COVID 19 which oh that's in Canada it's illegal to do that this country. I told her this was not going to happen to which she replied even by September As the appointment will be in mid-September, I said that this is a personal information that we don't have to share and that we are not going to be fully or partially vaccinated by September. That's for sure! We'll see what happens when September rolls but if this doctor will demand parents' vaccination, we will try to get that in writing." Okay good idea yeah yeah I guess we should give her some karma yes but I kind of love just the whole idea

1:28:27 These people don't even consider that you wouldn't be vaccinated. It's like well, maybe you don't have time or something like that There's just absolutely no consideration I find that baffling from them from my fellow colleagues in the medical field You've got karma Peter is next on a list from Houston 42225 I'll get this you get to next two Oh yay Please keep my last name anonymous. This donation brings me to knighthood, please dub me sir berserker I request Houston Hayes IPA by the way this is funny to me uh i've noticed there's a lot of these Hays beers have you noticed this? No um if you go to these brew pubs everyone was doing haze what do you mean haze as in purple haze?

1:29:25 Haze as in protein haze in the beer that needs to either be filtered out or this improperly brewed. It's crap is what you're saying. Yes, and they cook... What are we gonna do with this terrible beer? Look at it! We can't even see through it. It looks like a... what's that... the winter wheat beer they make in Germany during the hot summer months. I'm not talking to a beer guy here but- No, you're not really

1:30:01 Vessenheimer or something like that, I can't pronounce it. I can't come up with it. Somebody in the patrol room will know but anyway this is a hazy beer you cant see through it its not like a clear crystal clear lager pills so they get all these hazy beers and now they're using as feature not a bug and they are selling this beer! Hefenweizen Hefenweizen. They're selling this hazy beer now as though it's okay, it's like not okay but okay... Isn't that like a Belgian Wit Beer? Yeah I think so they're hazy. I kind of liked those that's all right I liked the Hooghaarden. Yeah that was fine but Pilsner IPA okay let's go back

1:30:44 That's fine. It is a beer that has been designed that way for hundreds of years An IPA is a clear product, it's not supposed to be hazy It's like a hazy pilsner, means its flawed It's john at Dvorak dot org because I do no want to forward all the emails from the beer lovers who are going to go Dvoraks wrong! And all they do is email me Yo, Dvorak's wrong. You gotta set him straight on beer! No? Please email john at dvorak dot org

So he's He's saying you should listen to that and even attach some clips for us to listen to so yes Dealing two Deling pod from James telling pole is Is dynamite I love listening to that a lot and here's your requests You've been deduced You've got Kind of weird mixing the goat and R2-D2 karma, but okay go yeah Onward sir Malinowski and he is in Botan Rouge Louisiana

1:34:24 And he writes, Hey dudes. Been a while since my last contribution and given last Sunday's showing I felt compelled to chip in yes it was crappy over the past six months or so i heard an uptick of people saying they don't agree with everything that y'all talk about in their donation notes yeah and i had an epiphany I think it's mentally healthy to seek out and voluntarily listen to opinions that may run counter to your own. Absolutely! I do that by listening to left-wing talk shows nowadays... I watch MSNBC and CNN. It's hard, but yeah. That's..that's....yeah So i'm listening to this uh what is this one guy talking about? I have to think about it. It's probably for later in the show

1:35:07 People that listen to NO Agenda and other fine alternative media outlets have a broader view of the world, can see multiple facets of an issue. See the manipulation of the narrative and compassionately understand how other people may feel so strongly and sometimes incorrectly about something that is often objectively false. We get all sides of the picture so we aren't radicalized... This is an epiphany? So we aren't radicalized like people who consume only one source of information. It's like eating processed food only versus having a diverse diet of all kinds of different foods. Keep doing what you're doing, no jingles just to love one another karma whatever that looks like with or without our beloved goat. ITM to all producers! Alright Sir Malinowski I have one just for you. You've got Karma Fourth of July Karma where we all love one another

Luckily you're reading this and I'm going to go get that which is on the other desk So long overdue with this donation living in Charlottesville Virginia and while it's not as bad as Austin It's still bad enough to make me sad that this is even the same state I grew up in barely hanging on here after being kicked out of two bands over politics slash Facebook posts Well, the band had no future if that's the kind of stuff that happened within the band. I found Noah Jenda through an old YouTube page called Conspiracy Scope back in early 2016 The guy who ran the channel used to post a bit of everything politics crackpot stuff related He apparently passed away awhile back. I regret not getting to thank him for pointing me here like i'm thanking you right now

1:44:07 Perth but not Perth. Yes, Perth Western Australia, Australia 208 88 I have sent a war and peace email note to Adams yes from something at Stephen Morris org Yeah, check your junk mail folder please yes indeed And it's kind of important because hold on a second let me just stick this in here ah That's what she said Okay, yes. It is with sadness he writes that I must report a case of knight name infringement. So pay attention peerage committee imagine... Well before you even consider before you even start reading that letter i will note that night names can be duplicated

1:45:02 There's plenty of Sir Jims and Sir Jacks and all the rest of it. It's only Baronies, and Dukedums, and places like that where you can't cross over." Well let me read his full note because it's a tough one... Imagine my surprise when another Sir Curity was knighted several shows ago! I'm sure he is a fellow port scanner named Ben. in the industry and on the cybersecurity gravy train, so I won't challenge him to a duel just yet. I took it as a swift hit in the mouth and reminder to donate to The Best Podcast In The Universe It made me think that I can't remember of another case overlapping night name puns and wondered if there's some register of all the no agenda noble men and women and Zimzers somewhere on the internets

1:45:50 No, there isn't and I would say you're on the right path. The best way to resolve the conflict is to become barren circurity That is the way out but as John says one way up if we're not doing this There's plenty of by-the-way circumference There's a number I think there's at least two of those and there's a number upon duplicated pun name nights around But there's also a lot of just simple night names that are duplicated. Again, you can have more than one night with the same name it's the areas and other things that are a little more exclusive. He continues I'm a Brit in Western Australia and we are beginning another three-day mask mandate outside on Insight due to wait for it one new case

1:46:38 I'm just happy to have left lockdown London as we have mostly escaped the COVID madness here in Western Australia. Okay, so don't get too complacent it's coming watching Australia right now is almost like a time-lapse of what we've witnessed in the past year here in the Northern Hemisphere they are not gonna let you off that easy and oh as it pertains to the UK Rumors abound that they're going to do a full-on lockdown for another four weeks as of July 15th. As of July 15, there's like memos circulating and stuff so... And he sent some clips of his kid I presume this is Nathan. Don't sniff me Joe Biden! I kind of liked it

1:47:26 Don't sniff me Joe Biden. Don't sniff me Joe Biden! Aww, so cute. Cute? Yeah very cute. I like the don't sniff me. I'm gonna give him a little goat karma there for that tone.

1:50:50 Sure did. Curiously, it does have donation in the subject line and I... I don't know how it didn't get through Eric. Stuff happens. I've been listening since then-I don't remember seeing this on, must have screwed up. Since the 33 cases show last year! I stumbled across the MoFax first and then picked up No Agenda. Ah! MoFax donation. It's... And then picked up No Agenda shortly after, both shows are excellent! This is my first donation so please de-douche me. Yep got it man my jingle thing is busted again. You've been dedouched. I am using the mouse. Side note

1:51:28 I work for a large wealth manager who has been in the news for their vaccine policy. I think what's missing from the recent articles is the fact that employees can simply opt for attesting to a negative test in the past 20, 72 hours as an alternative to being vaccinated." The test kits are provided by the company and mailed to the employees home. I mentioned this as Adam has been speaking about the fine print on the European vaccine passport language, which allows for a negative test as well My two cents is they hope people don't look into the alternative and they panic and run out for the jab Sorry for the long note and keep up all of the great work Thanks Nick

1:52:09 All right, Nick. I do have two extra things one Thank you all so much for helping me find the jingle The Master of the House jingle that was requested many, many shows ago. It was mislabeled surprise surprise I've relabeled it and here it is! Boom love it gotta play that more often And then one from way down on the list in the morning Podfather says I donated $12.34 to deduce the six monks who listened to the show

You can do it with multiple ways time talent treasure If you'd like to find out more about helping us for our Sunday show for our 4th of July show mind you we will be working on the fourth of July go to vorac org Slash and a once again, thank you for your time your talent and your treasure for producing no agenda Our formula is this We go out we hit people in the mouth I Want to play a couple of clips About the election. Oh the one in New York No, no that's cut that too but now I know I love that story It's a great story. You guys have a clip for that two from deep from Amy is pretty funny the way she presents it good good

1:55:35 But no, this is the guy heard during the last Trump rally. They didn't put it on the... It's not on C-SPAN. You had to follow it to get this stream going. This Dr Frank guy. Oh yeah! Dr Frank has some really... He clarifies a number of points in his... I have three clips from him He's a big fan that the election was rigged and he has lots of documentation to kind of show it but nobody cares. What is the background of Dr. Frank? What is his... you know, why is an actual medical doctor or...? He's a mathematician okay and I know what type of person that he is. He's one of these guys who looks at

1:56:24 at numbers and sees things that he shouldn't see or he sees things that you can't see, I can't see. He can see them really easily And it's funny to listen when he gives his little speech because he realizes that the whole election was based on some limitations of Microsoft Excel and he couldn't prove it. He is a psychiatrist Oh, he's a psychiatrist. And author... He is a numbers nut! Okay. He is a numbers nut and he is one of those...he's a hobbyist I guess but he does clarify few things as why this you know there's an orange all bent out of shape about Trump losing and why nobody did anything about it if it was rigged or not rigged The big lie

1:57:06 the big lie and they just lie about the whole mechanism. And he explains a number of things here I thought were very insightful, and i'd like to play these because there's one element here that is necessary to understand. I originally started my work working in Pennsylvania District 4 for one particular candidate that didn't understand their outcome And at the time, we were preparing lawsuits and we were working with the state legislature to expose corruption. I didn't really even understand that it was all around the United States. It was just that one place so we worked pretty hard on that But after a while I became disillusioned with the Pennsylvania State Legislature because they weren't taking action and they had no interest in pursuing and exploring the corruption that had taken place in their election, even though they believed all of the evidence we showed them. And agreed! Threw out their entire state database and hired a new company to build a new one

1:58:05 And this is the problem with all of these audits. There is actual evidence popping up that shows it was a bit of a problem, but these guys are too lazy to do anything about or they don't want to do anything about. But then he brings in another point of information that I think explains a lot of this and it's something you just have to kind of live with although Trump unfortunately still spends a little too much time on his speeches pounding this when he probably should back off, but let's listen to this part. Part two. So it is like there was no question of the evidence but their behavior is where... It was disappointing to me I was expecting them to stand up and say attention everybody our election was corrupted we got do it we gotta do a do-over

1:58:49 But we were also preparing lawsuits and some of those lawsuits were going to the Supreme Court. And if you remember, the Supreme Court did not take them there were four so I became disillusioned with or disappointed with the state legislature then i became disappointed with the supreme court because and not just a supreme court all the state courts at federal courts know none of them would take the case So you'd repeatedly hear people say, oh well they had they say all this have all this evidence but it was debunked in court. No! It never made it to court the judges wouldn't take the evidence wouldn't bring it into court that judges would even take the cases there's an Andrew I mean Richard is probably more qualified

1:59:32 to discuss this than me, but there's a principle known as the political question doctrine. And it works like this let's say you Pastor Andrew you vote twice so I take you to court and I say to the judge here is the evidence that Andrew Womack voted twice and then they'll evaluate the evidence and they will either convict or acquit you and that's a case they will take But if I go to the court and say, you know this person lost their election because the whole election process in your state is corrupt. The court will not take that case it's called the political question doctrine. The court will say no that's not correct

2:00:10 Our jurisdiction, that's a legislative problem. The legislature has to fix that and so that's why the courts aren't taking a lot of those cases and then the Supreme Court wouldn't take some of the cases like when Texas sued because it didn't have standing So there are all these reasons why our information in our evidence isn't making it into court Wow do I dance in the end zone now or do I wait? We covered this exactly I know, but we didn't know about the political doctrine. I'd never heard of it and all we did was make the observation well look at this what's going on but i saw people you know thinking that something was gonna happen i was always of the opinion that no if these states say yeah the election is valid

2:01:01 And they say, rubber stamp it no matter how corrupt it is underneath. It's good to go! I agree with that. Done as done and that's what happened but there was all this going on and that's why I think there are all these legislatures making these changes even though the Democrats are bent out of shape about it About all these changes they're trying to make in all these states To tighten things up because the Democrats knew this thing was a scam And they didn't, they don't want to change it. Let's just send out ballots to everybody! Two comments... I find it so incredibly disingenuous on the part of the Democrats who just they're just sticking their heads in the sand about this problem because it is a serious problem and not for them since they are the ones doing the rigging anyway he does a little follow-up Can I can I just make two comments about this clip? One

2:01:54 The appropriate response to this clip, had I played it you would have said oh yeah thousands of sealed indictments and two... No. This guy sounds like Matt Taibbi Oh i never picked up on that Totally! It's a-I'm thinking Emilio thing Oh, that's interesting. Well play the last part and I'll listen for Taibbi So step one is no the legislatures aren't stepping up and facing the corruption Step two is the courts aren't taking it What are we left with? We're left with we the people We have to remember that we are the government and we've seemed to have forgotten and relegated being the government to some other people. No, we have to own up." And so one of my favorite sayings that I learned in 2020 was politicians don't start parades they join them So we as a people have to reclaim our government. We have to bring all this evidence to light Yeah

2:02:57 Yeah, good luck. Now... Yep? Do you hear Taibbi? Yeah I do! Interesting isn't it? Good catch. Uh.. I don't know what milieu that could possibly be but you might be right there may be something going on or maybe a regional accident he's displaying even though I'm not sure where Tybee's from and or where this guy is from. All right, so let's play just with that... Just wanted to get that out of the way. Are we still on this election thing? On the voting? I just want to mention the New York mayoral race! Yeah, that's where would be headed because i have the Amy clip. Oh all right. Let's play that. Okay here we go got it

2:03:38 The New York City mayor's race was thrown into disarray Tuesday evening after the elections board released an updated vote count for the Democratic primary, then hours later removed the new figures from its website saying there was a discrepancy. Yesterday's new vote count had put frontrunner Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams just over 2 percent ahead of former Sanitation Commissioner Catherine Garcia The board later explained it accidentally counted 135,000 test ballots in its latest tally. This is the first time ranked choice voting is being used in citywide elections in New York. The city's expected to release updated results today. 124,000 absentee ballots also have yet to be added to the final result which is expected in mid-July

2:04:25 I love this. And there's an update this morning, so first they said oh oh i'm sorry it was 135 000 test ballots which is highly unlikely. It's bullshit! Bullshit is what it is and then we've eliminated those but the lead has gone his lead has now narrowed from 16 000 before they removed the bogus uh test ballots to now 14,000 because they've counted some more stuff. And they still won't have the results for another five days. This is... I mean please tell me everyone sees that this is completely corrupt and all the whole this whole ranked choice voting is intended to put mediocre people in office

2:05:20 If we did ranked choice voting in the general election, Elizabeth Warren would be our president right now. I'm convinced of it! You might be right about that. It's stupid because you get mediocre people and just looking at some other reporting many Democrats would leave off Eric Adams Well, it's all Democrats of course. They would leave off Eric Adams the still frontrunner completely and then have like Andrew Yang is number one and have the number two choice be who they really want yeah you know and so then I mean the way i understand that is

2:06:06 You have to choose your what you have to rank them all one two three four five six how many they are the person who's at the bottom their votes then get redistributed to everybody except the number one? You know it's we had a number of people write us because I had a simplistic explanation for it and somebody... This is what democracy looks like! So the guy had this other explanation. I've heard explanations before and now that I think about it, I'm not absolutely sure how it works but it doesn't work well and the idea was that this guy did explain this in a note he says its designed to prevent runoffs because runoff are expensive

2:06:53 And so it assumes that there's going to be a runoff and then that's when the rank choice comes into play. And then the runoffs are automatically, they take place in some... you're doing the runoff voting when you're doing the initial voting But they're trying to, you know what this black alderman, this black ex-cop Yeah Eric Adams. Eric Adams. They do not want this guy to be the mayor of He's not the chosen one! No he is not the chosen one It's the ugly white woman who is supposed to The ugly white woman and if she doesn't get it they'd rather give it to the socialist gal Anyone but the ex cop black guy who wants to refund the police Bad idea

2:07:35 Bad for New York. Yeah, they're gonna railroad him out of office I don't even think he's gonna win. I Don't think they'll let him win if they won't let it win you watch Yeah, I'm getting the impression and not gonna let them win one man one vote. I'm sorry one man five votes The whole thing is is I don't know They're trying to get us used to it But they screwed up the previous election which was a runoff was that uh? Was that this Congressional or senatorial? Congressional, I guess. I don't know and then this it's a fiasco. They keep blowing it! Keep blowing... Well they do a crappy job of it you know doing corruption well is not that easy It takes skill people get some skill Yeah and they got no skills are dumb If you're gonna corrupt do it right I got a number of emails from our millennial producers

2:08:37 regarding several things we've discussed and I'd like to talk about them real quick. One, this is from Zach your discussion on the show about Millennials having a thing for spitting at each other made me think of this in an earlier NBA playoff game a Knicks fan spit on Trey Young That's true. As a millennial, I can't say i've ever seen it in person but I know usually what will happen is two people exchange heated words then one person spits and then they start flailing at each other no no the first person spits the other one spits back and then they start then they start flailing at each other. I just want to understand if it's something that's been around for a long time or if it's new? I don't think that was completely conclusive we never

2:09:25 I don't recall spitting as a thing. Yeah, there is an interesting millennial observation and it comes from a number of different things that I've noticed is that millennials are a bunch besides being nihilists they really do not like we've talked about this a little bit on the show they do not like the success of their fellows...I have a whole note about that so this is what you're going to read the note? No, I'm not gonna read any note. I don't know what you're talking about You were copied on this email on this literal. I didn't see the note. I just see no what? I'm going to relate is the this being visibly Portrayed in the latest season of The Kominsky Method ah Yes an episode 3

2:10:16 One of the girls in the acting class gets a job in a drama, in TV. In series. Procedural and she gets this job and now nobody will talk to her they won't invite her anything and just hate her guts now She goes and bitches to the Michael Douglas character about this and he just thinks it's silly that is not true They should be happy for you because you got this job. She says, You don't know what it's like? She says, You're wrong and I have to quit the class. She says that's nonsense! And so then he goes there is a very good episode He goes and talks to the class about her in how they should act and how they should congratulate her and all of them group has gathered and he's lecturing them about how it should be Because these are New York versus West Coast and he's trying to make it seem as though its a West Coast thing It may not be or maybe

2:11:07 And as he leaves, feeling very happy that he fixed everything they all look at each other and say what's he talking about? We hate her. It was just kind of the way it ended and I started thinking about this and I think I'm noticing this and because JC brought this up when we talked about on his show maybe two or three years ago No, we talked about this a week-and-a-half ago This exact story about the Kominsky Method. We talked about this episode And that's why I have a response to it, because you're right. And we have millennial Kate from Chicago she has written in before, she is 24 and she responds to this very thing about the Kaminsky method and its success

2:11:50 And here it is. I graduated from a large university but a very small program of about 30 or so kids, I got a design degree in a very small and competitive field no one in my class was motivated whatsoever and the professors had basically given up on the students long before we got there! I was the first person in my class to find a job and exactly at John's point classmates were pissed This is an extreme problem among people my age. I'm 24. To make constant comparisons of yourself to others, to the point where it seems people become paralyzed to try and achieve anything real at all This is due largely in part to social media and the constant conscious slash subconscious comparisons you make all day long as you stare blankly into your phone for hours on end. Oversocialization is a big part of this people feel the need to constantly keep up a shallow appearance and praise the things they see that are acceptable by the woke culture but not actually things that make any sort of real impact or make you think for yourself

2:12:53 I also think the sheer addiction to social media as well as the excess and indulgence in entertainment with streaming etc. has caused a lot of people my age to become generally unmotivated. I don't meet many people my age that have interests outside of playing on their phone so there's not even anything to be achieved in their mind at all There's a lot of jealousy in general among my peers and I think it has to do with the fact that social media can trick you to make you feel like you're doing something or contributing somehow, but when you see someone actually doing something in real life, you realize for a moment that you're not doing anything at all.

2:13:30 I don't think they notice the time that slips away every time you open up TikTok for two hours. I recently have been pursuing a lot of creative hobbies and started to make a bit of side money from it, has been very fun and fulfilling for a change but just like getting a job or doing anything at all seems to really bother people It's gotten so bad with the zombie-like addiction to social media and consuming content. I only refer to people in their mid 20s. I can't even imagine what younger people are like And yes! I think that this is a big part of it Well, I've got more stories. Okay? And sorry if by reiterating the Kaminsky method it's fine It did trigger my what I'm trying to remember and I finally got it and I will mention that you Actually again, he'll go back 10 years on this show. Holy crap used to rant about these about selfies and how they have affected people's mentalities and I think there's some element of that in this

2:14:26 this whole thing where you had to get the perfect selfie and you had a whole shtick that used to do about it. It was very entertaining so now, have you noticed we haven't any dropouts on today's show? Yes this is because I've moved and obviously it was always my fault No! No...it was China's fault Oh do tell So I had the Sonic guy over a couple days ago. Oh, he came to that house? Because they were going to switch out the device that brings the fiber... The fiber-to-the-ethernet converter thingy Yeah it's a little bitty device and this was sending error messages back and it was cutting us off every so often uh I mean we're getting cut off on both sides always but this was my issue and I knew it wasn't

2:15:17 They came over and it turned out that it wasn't this at all. And he went to the wire, this guy was thorough, he went all over the place and found a small plastic connector China made that hooked up...that was just like a splicer connector for the optical cable. It was defective! Just a little piece of plastic probably? Well, it had some circuits that said something going on inside. But whatever it was, it was defective and it was causing intermittent breaks especially when the weather got hot. You know what? Before we left like two weeks ago

2:15:58 the cable all of a sudden would, it would be fine in the morning. The cable TV, the internet was okay. It would be okay in the morning and then by the time was evening you couldn't... Interestingly, the Fox stations didn't work so Fox Business, Fox News Channel I thought that that was coincidental but the guy came by and he said oh no! So there's some crappy cable He didn't say Chinese But during the day when it gets hot then the cable expands And then uh..by the time You're at the end of the day you want to watch. You know your hundred-plus degrees The cable is so expand that it's it screws it up That doesn't surprise me now, so I'm talking to this guy and so he says yeah We got you know we're trying to expand you I'm talking about Sonic in their network Trying to expand but we can't hire anybody who can't hire enough people to be the text Yeah

2:16:52 And I said, well a lot of it has to do with the millennials and their work ethic. Their work ethic is terrible amongst these people. Yes. I brought this up with my daughter and she's like, I have a lot of jobs! And I say you know one or two people and the people that listen to our show are sure we have plenty of millennials that know this and you read that note from one of them? Mm-hmm. So he told me this and he says yeah they're horrible, it's unbelievable They had a guy working at the company who just wouldn't show up. And then he'd show up! And say, where's my check? And then he wouldn't show up. No that wasn't it. He felt and I talked to my daughter about this, I felt that I could kind of understand his mentality because there is a noodle boy thing going on here and it went like this... The guy was straight when he started telling me the story says, the guy this is what he's thinking look

2:17:56 I didn't come into work today, but what difference does it make? You're not paying me when i'm not there. This is great! That's it that was it though...I'm not there you're not paying me so what difference does it make? That's a good that's an interesting way of looking at it. From some perspective I can honestly say that I understand it But it's really bad. And my daughter has commented that was, that's not what jobs are all about. It's not everything is piecework. It may have to do with like the inclusion of this so-called gig economy where all jobs are gig jobs? Right right right well or some mentality that's been put... This is the schooling! Well hold on a second That's a good point because certainly from the Democratic Party of the United States it has always been about

2:18:55 15 bucks an hour, 15 bucks an hour, 15 bucks an hour. Gone are the days of hey I make 50 grand a year doing this great job you know and i think there's an interesting perspective here that this generation has been raised on gig economy in hourly wages instead of a career working for a company or working in a company, or starting a company as an entrepreneur and not thinking of everything as a per hour wage. That could be I think there's an element to that but there's a lot of these things they all tie together A lot of it has to do with the education system in my opinion All of it I'm sure? All of it because I can't see parents doing this to kids And uh cause our kids are fairly productive But there is this idea of like

2:19:48 You didn't give me a check, I didn't... you're not paying me when i'm not there so why do have to be there? I don't get it. It is.. this is not a good thing for the society and So the combination of this social media thing and The laziness and jealousy if somebody does get a job because you've quit that... Not that they are really jealous or they irked by the fact that you quit the team. Because when you quit the team, people get mad at you. Yeah yeah And if your... and if the team is a bunch of losers and you quit the team to go actually get a job Yep yep exactly then then you're a douche You're the douche! You're the douche! No Ed, YOU'RE THE DOUCHE Well um that's very interesting So we were at uh here in uh in Hill Country there's a now what is it? What?! Hill Country, Hill Country Texas

2:20:51 I thought you were in Pflugerville. Schlitterbahn, so here in hill country. Deutschland! Oh yeah totally they have a it's kind of like a mini it's called what is it called now good good grocery or healthy groceries small to small store imagine you took about 1 20th a Whole Foods and put it into a little store, and made the service personalized. You know you just had some of the higher end products that you can't get at like an HEB, and then a lot of supplement type stuff. And so we've driven by this several times, let's go in and take a look

2:21:35 And it's a cute little story, you know. I didn't really pick anything up but we were chatting with one of the employees because they're all trained to ask how can i help you or something you're looking for and we're just chatting and he says well we have a real problem here with a labor shortage and we can't get...we just can't get anyone to work um and you know our starting salary is $13 dollars an hour and they do have all kinds of benefits but people won't do it They refused to come in. Across town, we had breakfast like a diner and there's a sign on the door looking for waitstaff $18 an hour plus tips can't get anybody

2:22:21 I mean, typically waiting on tables is the bare minimum. You know $3.50 an hour plus tips for dollars an hour plus tips. Now it's base of 18 and our plus tips that I mean that's unheard of. Unheard of its five times than normal rate base rate And they just can't get them out but now I get this note from Taylor And I think, I don't know if this is a donation somewhere along the line but anyway. He says he's a first-time donor my smoking hot fiance said to send to pick they're very cute couple

2:23:01 And they're young, and so their early 20s. Listening to the show has opened my mind in so many ways thank you guys for that only downside is feeling alienated from my friends who are all brought into the mainstream narrative and are unwilling to hear anything that challenges that I'm working up the courage to be fully honest with them about my views my vaccine status etc but i'm scared of losing them When I went to the Tacoma meetup, it gave me hope that there are others out there who I can be real with. Thank you guys for being a beacon of truth in a sea of nonsense." Taylor and cute girlfriend, cute couple... These can't be your friends if they walk away from you That's their problem not yours So being scared of losing them? Yeah that's a problem You gotta get over because you're going to lose Not all! But you're going to lose friends for sure Or acquaintances

2:23:57 I can understand how this is very difficult for young people with all the virtue, but going to a meetup clearly helps. Yeah the meetups help in that regard for sure you can make new friends The ones they do around here are one group sir...I cant remember his name Ham, lot of hams and they're kind of drive women away Other than that salient detail the hams are good yes There's a lot of people you could make a circle of friends, develop new circles pretty easily in these meetups if they have the same age groups. You have a lot of variant age groups problem but I don't know what to say i would advise them just to clam up a little bit wait it out

2:24:46 No, I mean...I don't. I disagree. Clamming up is not worth it! It's a waste of your life if someone doesn't want to talk to you. Adult people, adults we have adult friends they're far from the same culture or political ideology which we don't really have. I certainly don't but yeah i refuse this vaccine for sure you know people who are friends who have vaccinated, the banker, the Democrats vote for Biden. We don't go around arguing about that we just move on and talk about other things but yeah... That didn't happen with your neurological, your brain sort guy? No! We're in our 50s now I think at a certain point people get over it but not all of them that's my point like the artist

2:25:42 Frick and the Obama bots, what was his name? The professor. Gosh he was- Yeah the professor. It was the first time Tina and I had ever heard of white privilege you remember that it was five years ago i think no longer yeah five year five six years ago we're having dinner is like well you both have white privilege I'd never heard of this term and that was from Pendleton The guy who wrote the performative book, I was a fan of his book. Yeah you're big fan of the guy! And then we have the other professor, the brain professor...I think it was his wife who hated me and he had to go along with it. Okay okay yeah they moved out of the area. They moved into California to be more comfortable. Yes that's funny where things are beautiful exactly exactly

2:26:30 Another piece of feedback, we played this clip on the last show. Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson just speaking with Mad Money's Jim Cramer moments ago addressing reports from two weeks ago about a cup shortage. Shortage of cups no shortage of coffee our supply chain in our breakfast sandwiches and some items in the bakery case you know they have had to ramp up staffing And so we've had some shortages in the bakery case. That certainly is true, but you look at what we've done over the last couple of months to really get us in a much better position and you just think about it when you turn this on so rapidly It really tests the elasticity of the supply chain

2:25:42 Frick and the Obama bots, what was his name? The professor. Gosh he was- Yeah the professor. It was the first time Tina and I had ever heard of white privilege you remember that it was five years ago i think no longer yeah five year five six years ago we're having dinner is like well you both have white privilege I'd never heard of this term and that was from Pendleton The guy who wrote the performative book, I was a fan of his book. Yeah you're big fan of the guy! And then we have the other professor, the brain professor...I think it was his wife who hated me and he had to go along with it. Okay okay yeah they moved out of the area. They moved into California to be more comfortable. Yes that's funny where things are beautiful exactly exactly

2:26:30 Another piece of feedback, we played this clip on the last show. Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson just speaking with Mad Money's Jim Cramer moments ago addressing reports from two weeks ago about a cup shortage. Shortage of cups no shortage of coffee our supply chain in our breakfast sandwiches and some items in the bakery case you know they have had to ramp up staffing And so we've had some shortages in the bakery case. That certainly is true, but you look at what we've done over the last couple of months to really get us in a much better position and you just think about it when you turn this on so rapidly It really tests the elasticity of the supply chain

2:27:08 So we were interested in was this something with China, about the baked goods? What's wrong with the bakery? Can they not get people to work at the bakery. The guy seemed to have his story straight to CEO and we have some of the best producers in the universe from Anonymous This is from a, my source is a close relative I wouldn't want to get in any trouble. After hearing the report on Starbucks during the last outstanding episode I went to ask my relative who works there before I was even done repeating the interview she was laughing and going ha ha ha who is he trying to fool referring to their CEO

2:27:44 Her store hasn't had issues with the hot cups, but frequently runs out of large-sized cold drink cups and have to upgrade customers to an extra large for free. That's a good tip! They also switch their free water cups from one to a Starbucks logo... ...to the same clear plastic ones anyone can get at a grocery store There've been times they run out of straws and sugar packets and had to run to a grocery store to get some They will be getting in paper straws soon, but not out of any environmental thing. They just can't get plastic straws There are a few food products they can't get either for example there's one flavoring syrup They've been out of for over two months the one thing they have no shortages in bakery how about that? Interesting but then from Yum Villum

2:28:34 Just heard the segment on Starbucks shortages. I might have an explanation from the wonderful world of Puffer Cheese, and you remember Puffer Cheese John? No i don't remember Puffer Cheese is the little dutch pancakes they have on a big griddle like a rack of 10 by 10 They'll be flipping them with a fork real fast they're about the size of a half dollar Okay And you eat it with butter and powdered sugar we've discussed Puffer Cheese before I think long time ago Friends of mine have a quite impressive company with food trucks and bike carts selling poffertjes door to door. I've been working there, worked there couple times Josephine the founder of Jojo's Poffertjes has been trying to find all ingredients from local suppliers that worked out well except for one ingredient flour only available imported from China at least in The Netherlands at this time being

2:29:32 I didn't know China was a big exporter of flour. Well, I didn't either and i'm sure they're trans-trans exporters in other words they get the flour from or they get the wheat from us yeah and then they process it. Yeah their processors...I'm guessing..i don't know that there's huge wheat fields nothing like the United States we're huge wheat makers growers The border grow all kinds of different kinds of wheat nowadays. I gotta know maybe the EU has a policy of sending wheat to the... Do they even grow wheat? Yeah, do they grow wheat in the European Union? I guess. No, they do! They grow a lot of wheat in Europe. Of course they do and Russia does it too. So they send it off to China for processing and then we get it right back? Well, I don't know maybe. I have no idea there's something else is going on. I have a clip

2:30:23 Okay, this is the Italy versus China clip. This right again from the new Tang Dynasty no tank plan Italy is taking a step back to re-examine its relationship with China Italy is the only g7 member that's part of Beijing's belt and road initiative And it's relationship with Beijing has been concerning the u.s on Monday The Italian foreign minister said that his country's relations with the US are more important than with China and He was at a news conference with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. He said, And earlier this month, after the G7 summit The Italian Prime Minister said that Italy will scrutinize Beijing's Belt and Road Initiative He criticized Beijing as an authoritarian regime And said it does not respect rules. Not only that According to Reuters The prime minister also expressed his concerns over Chinese vaccines last Friday He said that the Chinese vaccine has shown itself not to be adequate You can see from Chile's experience of tackling the epidemic

2:31:36 I don't know anything about Chile, but i guess they used the Chinese vaccine. Yeah and they don't work well Italy is pissed at China just what I'm hearing from Willow you know kind of this idea we brought in the belt and road We're gonna do the big 5G push And then you came in and gave us COVID you bastards You killed all our old people on this one small region It did. Northern Italy is wiped out of older people. Yeah, that's the idea So there's an anti-China vibe going on

2:32:17 And it is only the only part of the belt road. That's the one we've talked about this because it goes right up there into the, right up to the Adriatic and hits...it goes through Venice and up a little bit further. Yeah! They got the port there and all kinds of fun stuff. All kinds of fun stuff. They have good news. Good good good news Of all of the technology that we've seen, and I would say going back to when I first brought the... And I get no credit for this. I was the first person to use the Amazon Echo as it was known at the time We had it on the show. We were doing fun jokes with it. We're asking The Book of Knowledge. I said at the time if this thing had an Apple logo on it people would be losing their crap This is seven years ago

2:33:02 seven years ago and I got rid of everything once we discovered, and you knew it from the get-go that everything is being recorded. Everything is being listened to there's surveillance everything Everything is based on advertising. The whole surveillance is really to just sell you ads over and over again, that's why social media sucks Facebook sucks Twitter sucks all technology sucks I can't hook up something to control my thermostat because then not only do they know what my usage is they're gonna sell me green products and probably going to try and enter me into a sweepstakes so that

2:33:43 they can remotely turn up my air conditioning at night. The whole thing blows because they chose the model, and I will look at Google mainly, they chose the model of advertising and making their users the product. And so I'm stuck with a de-Googled Android Graphene OS phone which is great but you have to jump through all these hoops just not be part of some advertising scam. It's horrible and finally... I'm going to stop you on this rant but why do you have to jump through any hoops to do that? That's the problem, it is such an inconvenience they've ruined our lives. Ah! Enter former Googlers This is the CEO of Neva N-E-V-A This guy's name is Shridhar Ramaswamy

2:34:36 So you know it's quality technology and they've started something new. Mind-boggling! I've signed up, i'm on board Welcome to Nebum Thank you for joining thousands of other users who are here for a better search experience No ads no tracking just the best results for you Why don't have to remind you how far off course mainstream searches gone Today one can barely tell where the ads end and your search begins What started as a well-intentioned way to organize the world's information has turned into a business focusing most of its resources on monetizing clicks to support advertisers rather than focusing on you. At Neva, and with your help we are turning that model on its head by completely reimagining search Search that is ads free private and customizable

2:35:23 This all starts with flipping the traditional business model from an ads base to a subscription based service that is 100% focused on delivering the best search experience for you. That's it! That's it, so that's their promise? You get the first four months free and then its $4.95 a month I'm in I'm in And you know why I'm in because I searched for The John C Dvorak test we all know what that is We do? What is the best weed whacker. Oh yes, the old test! Now I've signed up...I love the results for Best Weed Whacker this thing is fast it gives you all of this you can tell that it's not about the weed whacker or the search engine? The search engine. NEEVA.com It's fantastic

2:36:23 faster than Google without the ads, I'm gonna trust them for now that they're not...I read through the terms of service. It seems okay and they're not going to share your data could there be a tipping point? I feel that a lot of people would be very happy with searches is the most frequently performed function for me at least And I don't use Google if i can avoid it, but there's a lot of stuff that you know these alternatives just don't get to and they also have ads. And then I'm always clicking on some link like redirect okay fine counted whatever

2:37:04 I like this. Do you check it out? Neva dot com? I'm looking at it now. Can you, I don't think you can do a search without registering can you or can't you? Yeah, I'll have to, I'll do it later. I'll give the report back. I'm sure he has issues that I won't like but I don't like anything so fine. It's...I really, I don't think is that, I think you will-do the weed whacker I'll do the Weed Route Whacker, yeah. Just to me? I don't know...I had this like oh shit! I'm ready for it. I'm primed for it tell me someone else wants it Someone's got to want this stuff This is the beginning This is how you start once we figure out that we can actually get the technology that we want in a fair manner Maybe we'll figure out how to do voting in America Have to work on it. We hadn't figured out before

2:37:54 But then again, did we know that for sure? Did we really? I mean as the old saying goes if voting was actually effective politicians would have outlawed it by now. In fact we do have a few people to thank for show 1360 Beginning with Love Dame Zelda of the Turtle Realm. She came in with $145. Nice!

I gave a lucky Jewish donation last week for my niece What is it? Isn't that an 18 or it has to end in an 8, forget what it is. It's like a multiple of 18

2:47:01 Anyway, I gave a lucky Jewish donation last week to my niece Lexi to have good luck with her JHU doctor's appointment. Not only did they leave Baltimore feeling very optimistic about things but this morning Eric the Shill forwarded an email to me offering help! I have floated on air all day knowing that i am part of such a friendly welcoming and generous community it was a wonderful reminder that what we see in here on TV is not reality correct And that is why these meetups are so great. All ages, everybody can find some beauty in this and of course it's also free which makes it that much better It's just a service you all put together Let's listen to how it went at the Michigan Local 1 Hello this is Michigan's local negative one We're at a cancelled meet up but we went anyways It's raining and then we got rained on But it was glorious

Was it 60 million? Now Amazon apparently has purchased some podcast crew for 80 million dollars! Yeah right place at right time people... What are we doing wrong bro?! What are we doing wrong, John? Everything we do is wrong. Alright well here's my exit strategy...my personal exit strategy I was so happy to hear a US Senator speak in these terms it is U.S. Senator Loomis who is Loomis? L-U-M-I-S you newbie

2:52:14 She's one of the, I think she is one of the radical Republicans. Radical Republicans? I think...I don't know. Never mind what i just said. It could be it could be. I'm just curious. I've heard her name and I think its a woman Yes she's new Cynthia Marie Loomis Yeah I think she's one of the new Trumpers. Oh wait now she has a full name. Cynthia Marie Loomis Wiederspan! Stay safe! Is an American politician and attorney serving as the junior United States Senator from Wyoming. Yes, she's the first woman to represent Wyoming in Senate a member of the Republican Party She served as the US representative for aiming at a large congressional district from 2009-2017 okay

2:52:59 She's all in on the Bitcoin, not just for herself but also for the state of Wyoming. I like this report. Senator Cynthia Lemus of Wyoming is the founder of the Financial Innovation Caucus in Congress she has been a major advocate for cryptocurrencies on Capitol Hill and I sat down with her for CNBC's financial advisor summit and she told me that she envisions bitcoin in particular becoming an important component of individual retirement portfolios. She believes it can serve as a hedge against inflation The rise of the nation's debt relative to GDP hits historic highs. I encourage people to buy and hold, I encourage them to save Bitcoin for their retirement for their future and that is because as Congress spends trillions and trillions of dollars

2:53:43 and is flooding our economy and the world economy with US dollars. There's no way that we cannot debase the value of the U.S. dollars." And Lemus practices what she preaches, she's an investor in Bitcoin as well! I buy bitcoin and i hold bitcoin You buy bitcoin? Oh yes! you have bitcoin? I do How much bitcoin do you have? Well...I only have five bitcoins So only five Bitcoin, but she bought them in 2013 for about $300 each. So she can now add a couple of zeros to that number and Wyoming is in the process setting up its own crypto banking system that Lummis hopes will become a model for other states as well

2:54:22 So we have El Salvador, Mexico now Mexican banks now starting Paraguay and now the state of Wyoming with their own... I don't know what's wrong with gold but okay. Nothing is wrong with gold! I don't think people are against gold at all But okay? No it seems like they are. The only thing different between Bitcoin and Gold is that its a lot easier to pay with You just chip off a piece of gold. Everyone has little scales, don't they? At the store you have those scales and you can put some gold there. I have two couple stories that i want to get out of here There's one that kind of irks me it's a long story It continues...I didn't even clip the whole thing because when I was with uh.. I don't know this is going on not in national news They're talking about Trump They're talking about

2:55:13 OJ, not OJ but Cosby. I get this too mixed up the WikiLeaks story you know this tell me you know the story WikiLeaks what's going on right now? I'd have to hear it to know if it's all I know is that Assange his dad and brother are doing rounds saying we need to get him out so there's kind of a Play this. We turn now to a major development in the case of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who the U.S. State Department is pushing to extradite from Britain. Assange faces up to 175 years in prison if brought to the United States where he's been indicted for violations of the Espionage Act related to the publication of classified documents which many say expose US war crimes

2:56:01 Now, one of the main witnesses in that extradition case has come forward to admit he made false claims against Assange for exchange in immunity from prosecution. The revelation came in an interview with the convicted Icelandic hacker Siggy Þordarson for a detailed article published by the Icelandic biweekly Stundinn. It suggests the U.S. Justice Department collaborated with Þordarson to generate the indictment for Assange that was submitted to the British courts. U.S. prosecutors issued a new superseding indictment against Assange in June 2020 that refers to Thordarson as a teenager and Iceland as NATO country one, and says Assange encouraged him to, among other things, quote, commit computer intrusion and steal audio recordings of phone conversations between Icelandic officials."

2:56:54 The Stundin article cites previously unpublished documents and chat logs showing how Thordarson falsely presented himself as a prominent WikiLeaks representative. Stundin reports that in fact, quote, all indications are that Thordarson was acting alone without any authorization let alone urging from anyone inside WikiLeaks unquote. OK? In other words the whole thing is a scam Which was, I think our conclusion at the time. Well we knew it from the get-go but no one's talked about any of the details this isn't being discussed well foundation of the extradition documents is based on this kid yeah and when the kids recanted he says nah that's bullshit i didn't do any of that stuff And this guy still in jail? The Norwegian hacker? I don't know if she's in jail or not. Right. Dead man walking

2:57:52 He might want to avoid small aviation. Hot air balloons is a favorite as well, stay away from that. Then I have one other little another Democracy Now! clip which is just the head shaker this will be my last one for today and it's not necessarily uplifting but it's kind of revealing okay This is the Afghanistan update. This is our update on getting the hell out of Afghanistan." The U.S military could be just days away from withdrawing the majority of its troops from Afghanistan two months ahead of the September 11th deadline set by President Biden Hundreds of troops are likely to remain in the country, though, assigned to securing the U.S. embassy and airport in Kabul. The withdrawal comes as Taliban fighters have taken control of dozens of districts in recent weeks and is a top US military general in Afghanistan says that country could be headed towards civil war

2:58:46 Okay, hold on a second. Good riddance to him! We're there for 20 years we've trained something like half a million people and we walk out and two minutes later there's a civil war? Is that what our influence was worth?! Are you kidding me!? That's exactly right. This is a bogus story to keep us there... That's exactly right And the training of half-a-million people as you recall in 2003 I was embedded with the Dutch Marines at Camp Smitty and we often went during that 10-day period to see some of this training that was taking place of the local Iraqis. So I'm sure it's the same idea. No, but I was in Iraq, that was Iraqi's. Oh yes, same thing. But it's the same training

2:59:34 Complete and utter bullcrap. First of all, they give them decommissioned weapons to use when they're doing drills and it was literally like dad's army about faced half of them turn left half of him turn right It's a mess there is no real training going on It really has not been. The only training is of our own troops and CIA agents who are still trying to work out how we can continue to move the poppies from the fields in Afghanistan, to wherever it's processed because that's why were there

3:00:10 And there's a huge, you know that all these bases are being shut down. They're not going to shut them all down I think Djibouti may stay around they've got to keep something open reasonably in the area To get the harvest it! They're never going to leave ever ever ever and we're still gonna have what half-a-million What is it called? Contractors? Well It's not that many but there's quite a few. Yeah its alot And so that's your last clip. I will leave us today with the beginning of all of this bullshit in 2001, and I'm going to take you back to the man who just died. That would be Rumsfeldt. He died peacefully surrounded by his family...I have no good words for this douchebag and neither does Uncle Don, I can say! But this is just a little report about Rumsfeldt and the shenanigans

3:01:09 from back in the day. It's the Pentagon bureaucracy. He said money wasted by the military poses a serious threat In fact, it could be said that it is a matter of life and death Rumsfeld promised change but the next day... The world changed And in the rush to fund the war on terrorism The war on waste seems to have been forgotten My 03 budget calls for more than 48 billion dollars in new defense spending. More money for the Pentagon when its own auditors admit the military cannot account for 25% of what it already spends According to some estimates we can not track 2.3 trillion dollars in transactions. 2.3 trillion with a T that's 8,000 dollars for every man woman and child in America

3:02:08 To understand how the Pentagon can lose track of trillions, consider the case of one military accountant who tried to find out what happened to a mere 300 million. We know it's gone but we don't know what they spent it on Jim Minnery, a former Marine turned whistleblower is risking his job by speaking out for the first time about the millions he noticed were missing from one defense agency balance sheets Minnery tried to follow the money trail, even crisscrossing the country looking for records. The director looked at me and he says why do you care about this stuff? It took me aback my supervisor asked me why I cared about doing a good job

3:02:47 He was reassigned and says officials then covered up the problem by just writing it off. They got to cover it up, that's where the corruption comes in they've gotta cover-up fact that they can't do their job The Pentagon's Inspector General partially substantiated several of Minnery allegations but could not prove officials tried to manipulate the financial statements. 20 years ago, Pentagon employee Franklin C Spinney made headlines exposing what he calls the accounting games. He's still there and although he does not speak for the Pentagon, problem has gotten worse. Those numbers are pie in the sky, the books are cooked routinely year after year after year. Retired Vice Admiral Jack Shanahan commanded the Navy's second fleet the first time Donald Rumsfeld served as Defense Secretary With good financial oversight we could find 48 billion dollars and lose change in that building without having to hit the taxpayers 20 years later

3:03:44 What has changed? We've only added zeros to the numbers. Yeah, it's a mess and the thing that bothers me the most is that when they say oh look at our defense spending is more than all the rest of the armies in the world that makes us so much safer I don't know that the Chinese aren't spending their money better than we are They may get any more you get you know more best price more bang for their buck! We don't know what this money's going It's just a big number Exactly I don't wish the dead ill, but screw you Rummy. And thanks for the aspartame douchebag! He was responsible for that too. Probably a bigger killer than the Pentagon... But that's just my opinion. We will be back with you on the 4th of July we're working on our Independence Day but we are celebrating our freedom from mainstream media please join us for that it's a great way to kick off America's birthday

3:04:44 Happy birthday to Canada. We love you and remember To support us at Dvorak org slash na coming to you from the heart of Texas Hill Country FEMA region number six in the governmental maps and still Haven't left anywhere in the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry there for Northern Silicon Valley where I remain and there's still no Sun 9 John C Dvorak we return on On Thursday for another fab episode, end of show we've got Tom Starkweather John Dooh and Professor JJ next on noagendastream.com that Larry Show with a patriotic episode looking forward to July 4th get your flags waving in the morning everybody until then adios amorphos! And such... There are known knowns there are things we know we know

3:05:49 We are in a sense seeing the definition of a new battlefield. In this world, 21st century battlefield and we also know there are known unknowns. Rumsfeld once said if you're not criticized you may not be doing much by that measure he did quite a lot But there are also unknown unknowns. The ones we don't know, we don't know. A very successful businessman when he was in the private sector as the head of GD Serum a major pharmaceutical company He was enormously successful as business leader It is the latter category that tend to be difficult ones Stuff happens! Rumsfeld quickly seized almost total control of America's war on terror

3:06:35 launching airstrikes in Afghanistan in less than 30 days. And, in 18 months the invasion of Iraq... Stuff happens! But there are also unknown unknowns The ones we don't know we don't know.
