Mass Formation

00:00 FABULOUS! Feeling inspired! And broadcasting live from the heart of Texas Hill Country, we're in FEMA Region Number 6. In the morning everybody! I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where I'm getting out of Afghanistan. Toot! Sweet! I'm John C. DeVore. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill! In the morning! Man, it's deja vu all over again.

00:40 This is a... I'm sorry, yes, we're both flabbergasted. I know, please, after you. It's unbelievable. We've been doing this show for 14 years. It's just restarting. And the thing that I can't get any any clips from, well this is going on, well we're running out of Afghanistan like maniacs, like our hair's on fire, thank you Pentagon for the great job you've done. Yeah. And of course they blame everybody, oh you should have kept people there. Yeah, okay. Is that why are we bombing Somalia all of a sudden?

01:21 I'm supposed to talk... It's like nobody's covering this bombing. I'm not supposed to talk about that. And what is the point? Isn't there a... I'm so certain there's a pipeline... I've looked at this. I think there's a pipeline deal going down there. Oh, well maybe. It makes sense, but there's got to be some reason. Well, I mean, okay. Well, oh, by the way, I want to can we do a little housekeeping before we start? Yeah, of course. Yes. I have some other stuff. We can do all kinds of things. Why we housekeeping housekeeping. I've got a bunch of stuff, but housekeeping is important. One is so we I don't know where this we got this information about the Mercola and having his information taken off of the way back. Yeah, archive.org.

02:08 Well, this was done because Mercola wanted it done. It had nothing to do with the archive. Oh, really? We besmirched them. Well, I mean, if you don't... Look, if you look for a URL on thearchive.org and it says nothing available at this URL and there's no other information, well, yeah. The archive.org never takes anything down except at the copyright holders request. Ah, okay. All right. And I guess Mercola got a letter from the FDA, a warning letter. Yeah, about his products, right? I think it's his products that were the problem. Yeah, his products and his claims. Mostly his claims about the products. It was almost, you know,

02:53 This is gonna happen to Alex Jones pretty soon. And so he freaked out and took his whole website stuff down and they took everything off the archives. And... You talked to Brewster? What? Did you talk to Brewster? Brewster Kale? Well Brewster's on vacation. I talked to the guy who runs archive.org, Mark Graham. In fact, I haven't heard from him. I knew him from years ago. He used to be involved with FidoNet. Oh my goodness, FidoNet! My head just exploded. Yeah! Storing forward, baby! He was also involved with the well during a certain period of its era. Yes, I have a copy of the final edition print.

03:37 And so Mark's an old pro and he runs archive.org. And not only that, but he turned me on to a bunch of stuff they're doing and what's up. It's astonishing. They have their 25th anniversary this year. I'm gonna write it up. in my son. Give me one of the astonish... just give me a lift up the veil a little on one of these astonishing things they're doing. This is good news. They have almost every 78 record ever produced, archived and available for listening. It makes the Library of Congress collection of old recordings... Yeah, it looks sad. It's pathetic. They have, for example, not to belabor this,

04:24 But they have, and you don't even know who this guy is, but I do, they have every, it seems as if they may not have everyone, but they have most of all the recordings by Smith Ballou, who was a famous tenor from 1929 to about 1935. More importantly, do they have the entire archive of the No Agenda show? I don't know, do they? You didn't ask? I never thought to ask. You're comparing this to the Library of Congress. I want to be in there. I want to make sure every single one is in there. I'm sure I'll talk to them again. But it's unbelievable.

05:04 what they've got. And I complained to them, they said, well you know I can't find anything there because it's very difficult to... Yeah, their search does not work like Google, the way you expect it to. Right, it's a different way of doing things. And so he sent me a couple master links that I just spoke, okay, I'll put them in this column when I write it up. But anyway, so he wasn't too upset, but he did get ahold of me, because he got some notes from some people grousing about, you bastards, you took down this and that, you're supposed to be archived. And he said, no, that's not what happened. So... Okay.

05:42 So that's that. The other thing is I got a note from our Hollywood producer, Brunetti. Mm-hmm. Uh-oh. That I think I should read. Uh-oh. We've got information from the M5M, ladies and gentlemen. Brunetti on the case. He says, I'll be sending a donation soon, probably for next Thursday, so I have time to write you guys and have time to read my War and Peace. Okay, now this is where, this is the interesting part. It's not that much. That guy in Idaho who is living on his land in an RV with his wife and kids. Yeah. nuts. He's going against the Airstream life now. He says even with the two Airstreams, me and Alex broke up every other week. And that was purely because of the Airstreams? No, it's because when you do, everyone I've known who've tried this project, they go move out onto some land, live with their wife and kids in a trailer and build a house.

06:42 They always get divorced. The house I'm living in is proof of this theory. Is one of those houses. In fact, we got this place in the song because they built this house. It's a big house as you know. And we got it for a song, relatively speaking. But it was this couple that decided to build a house, did the same kind of thing, and they couldn't take each other and got divorced afterwards. It's classic. It's a classic. And you're telling him to live there alone. Now, Eric built a house. Yes. And he moved a trailer out there. But he left his wife and kids at the other house and he stayed, he lived like a hermit out by himself. Smart man. They didn't have this problem. He still hasn't really recovered.

07:29 Tell, well, that's just Eric. Tell him to... Not true. Tell him, no, tell him to live there alone. I don't, I mean it lovingly. Tell him to, Brunetti continues, tell him to live there alone and have them come visit on the weekends or something. They should go live with the relatives until the house is done. Oh man. Okay. So that's good. Yes. Another great tip from your No Agenda show. A great marital tip. Yeah, and he had two airstreams. So I was always assuming that two airstreams would do the trick because I knew this problem existed. But I guess even two airstreams doesn't do it. No. So there you go. There's your tip. Now, I've been following up on your mass hysteria theory.

08:18 And I've come across something really interesting. But before we do all that, I'd actually just looking at the titles of your COVID clips, because we Afghanistan I think, you know, is a whole thing by itself. This just to understand what's happening right now where we're in this mass hysteria thing. I like it a lot and I found something I think that you might be interested in. However, just to show how the matrix has restarted. How this glitch has taken us back 10 years and producers who have a lot of time on their hands have been scouring through the archives. I need to take you back to 2010, episode 228. How long ago was that? That was after the Deuce Club specials episode 200.

09:11 You would remember that, wouldn't you? Yes, the Deuce Club special. Exactly. So this is, let me see, Eric Constable found this and just listen to what we were talking about in 2010. I'll just finish up because, you know... Well, just bring out the last depressing piece of information you dug up this week. Okay, well, no, this is just staying on this vaccine stuff. So the super bug that was found in the United Kingdom due to medical tourism. Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Whatever happened to that guy? Well, no, it's now spread to Canada. So now it's been found in Canada in someone who actually had some medical work done in India. So you know, this is, you got to stay here and you got to, you know, the insurance companies have to soak you here and you can't go anywhere else. It's got to all happen here.

10:06 And in Wales, news now leaks out that the Welsh government was so worried about the pandemic that they had actually prepared mass graves for 40,000 people but they essentially expected, well they actually have the number, 37,074 victims of the Welsh population to die of swine flu. As we know that was a big scam and there was all kinds of insider stuff that the WHO, who had links to the pharmaceutical companies,

10:44 How dumb are some of these governments? No wonder the, yeah, I think the world should reevaluate their leadership. It also suggested local joinery firms could be commissioned to construct simple coffins in the event of a coffin shortage. Or if the event is extreme, body bags could be used instead. Yeah, I think you open the Canadian Indian reservation. Yeah, just some hefty bags, man. Just throw the slaves in some hefty bags. So, but it's not like the plan is still there because you know obviously, obviously it can come back at the drop of a hat. It can happen any moment now. They're working on a better version of that bug now in a lab someplace. Oh yeah. Well they're mixing it with the AIR 5.

11:34 Dude, I'm telling you this is You know you forget about what what we were bullcrapping about ten years ago But is it any different really except for you know now we've gone into this mass hysteria mode And we you know we didn't lock down back then And just everything is like a test run for the next worst case scenario. So I mean, they're going to examine what happened this time and say, well, how can we make this even better? Can we do it even better? Yes. I don't know how they're going to beat this one. This is pretty tough. This is a good one. This is like a very nicely done. I have to say, let's do your COVID clips. Sure. Let's see what we've got.

12:19 I have, I think, a couple of thematic clips. Yeah, this is kind of interesting. I think there's a... For one thing, I think they're trying... Of course, I've been saying this for about a month. They're trying to wind this thing down. They're trying to push it back. And so I ran into this series of clips on one of the bald guys that hosts on CNN, which is most of them. It's either smirconish or seltzer water. I think this is smirconish. Yeah. You'll hear his voice and you can tell. I don't watch the... Let's go with COVID. They're backing... They're trying to back something off and here's this... And CNN is part of it. COVID, Vax, NoVax, CNN without the number. This is the beginning. A recent Wall Street Journal piece called

13:00 the power of natural immunity, Johns Hopkins professor Dr. Martin Makary says we should be including survivors among the immune, writing some 80 to 85 percent of American adults are immune to the virus. More than 64 percent have received at least one vaccine dose and of those who haven't, roughly half have natural immunity from prior infection. Macari cites a recent study by the Cleveland Clinic of 1,359 people previously infected with COVID who were unvaccinated. Quote, none of the subjects subsequently became infected, leading the researchers to conclude that individuals who've had SARS-CoV-2 infection are unlikely to benefit from COVID-19 vaccination.

13:44 Macari's point being that the people who've had COVID should be counted among those who have immunity. But these recent restrictions suggest otherwise. It's impossible to know how many people who have had COVID have also gotten vaccinated because the CDC doesn't track those numbers. The closest thing that we could find to an estimate comes from the Kaiser Family Foundation, Its survey from May of 2021 found 59% of those who say they have tested positive for COVID-19 at some point have also received at least one dose. This is similar to the share who have not tested positive, who said they've gotten at least one dose, 63%. Shouldn't those millions who didn't get vaccinated but have immunity as COVID survivors get to see the Foo Fighters?

14:32 Yeah, man, this is one of the most frequently received emails I've been getting. Well, two sorts, one from the healthcare community, but one from people who are saying, what F? I have to take a vaccine even though I had COVID? They're flummoxed, really flummoxed. Well, the problem they've run into, I think, and I think they're backing off on this, that this is where the passport fails. Unless you can get these people on the passport, and you can't, there's no way. It's too late. And this is a mistake that will correct in the future, ten years from now. Yes, it'll do it better. Yes, when we're on episode 6,000. Remember when we talked about that back in the 20s, I tell ya! In the 20s! Now, the

15:22 The reason I think they're backing off on this is because we always have to remember an old phrase, which is the business of America is business. And if you start segregating people, saying no, you can't do this, you can't spend money, you can't spend money on my product, you can't because of this or that. No, no, no, America business, American business is not putting up with that. I don't like the idea of losing money because of your stupid games. So this is backing off. So here we go. Part two is they start to pile on now. Joining me now is Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, professor of medicine at Stanford University, a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. He co-authored a piece on this subject for smirkonish.com titled The Beauty of Vaccine and Natural Immunity. Dr. Bhattacharya, make the case. Why should someone who's had COVID

16:17 but not vaccinated get to see the Foo Fighters at Madison Square Garden. The key thing is that if you've had COVID, you have very, very complete protection against severe disease and bad outcomes from just like the same way with the vaccine. You're protected in exactly the similar way. So why discriminate against people who have had COVID and recovered? They're protected just like the vaccine is in many ways. The other thing that's important to remember, Michael, is that it's the COVID hasn't hit randomly in the population. It's had this sort of almost discriminatory effect. It's minorities and poor populations that have been hit harder by COVID in some ways. And they're also the more vaccine-hesitant parts of the population in some cases. So in a sense, we're like discriminating against people who are sort of on the margins, but with absolutely no public health reason behind it. Now they're going to use racism to back out. I love it.

17:12 I do too. It's such a handy thing that racism. Gosh, I love that. This is going to grow in the public psyche. Part three. I mean, I can tell you on one side, like I think a lot of these venues, they could ask for antibody or sort of if you had an antibody level, for instance. Also, if you have had COVID, presumably you saw a doctor and learned about it or had a positive PCR test before, that should actually be enough because if you've had COVID and recovered, then you're immune. And this again, in the same way the vaccine. So I think just asking for like a doctor's note, I think could be enough.

18:10 I mean, that would just like the same way you ask for a vaccine card is essentially a doctor's note. Dr. Bhattacharya, maybe a naive question from me lacking your expertise, but what if I've had COVID? and don't necessarily show antibodies. I mean, that doesn't mean that you aren't protected. In fact, quite the opposite. Antibody levels do fade, but there's other mechanisms of immune protection, T cells and other mechanisms of immune protection, that last much longer than antibodies. So even though the antibody levels maybe turn negative after a few months, still you're protected, again, in the same way as antibodies against COVID from the vaccine.

18:46 The mechanisms of immunity are actually quite similar from the vaccine and natural infection. So why are we discriminating between the two? Oh, wow. Good catch. This is a walk back. Holy crap. He has a big one too. You know, there's a... I'm sorry. Just to analyze the walk back and they're going to have to keep this up because they can't think this has gone too far. They, when doing, again, let's go back to the future and say in 10 years they're gonna have to fix this issue because this is a problem. This really kind of invites, next time around, invites more careful tracking of people. Yes, yes, yes, yes. And I was reading, well actually,

19:32 I want to jump into this because you say the business of America is business. In a local story, Austin, I think we talked about it last, maybe last show, two businesses had against the mandate and I guess the executive order of the governor of Texas had declared that if you wanted to eat in their restaurant, you had to show proof of vaccination. So they cli- and I've been to the- I've been to Laundrette, so that's a total, total... communist outfit. Everybody in there's like, Antifa are communists, good food though. And so they decided that they would take the hit. Now it's a small place, I think they maybe only have 20 tables, so probably not, it's hard to get a reservation even on, you know, it used to be just on regular days.

20:25 without COVID. So they decided, well, you know, we'll be fine. We're just going to virtue signal like this, but... Even they have their limits when it comes to the business of America. A pair of Austin restaurants just pulled their new rules requiring customers to prove COVID-19 vaccination after getting a call from the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission. We told you how Laundrette and Fressa's announced they wanted to make the change. Turns out they cannot do so based on a Texas law passed in the legislative session. The TABC told them they would violate the law from Senate Bill 968. The COVID law banned vaccine passports in Texas and it made it so if any business did try to require one, state agencies could pull their permits such as a liquor license if necessary. The TABC telling us they don't want to do that and would rather educate business owners before having to go that far.

21:20 Yeah, and so these restaurants capitulated right away because you know they like to virtue signal but not for the most profitable part of their business Not gonna do that now regarding the passports I completely agree with you that they have messed this up and in ten years. They're not only going to have to take Natural immunity into consideration, but now and listen to the language because there's something very specific about this and How can you have a passport if you're not fully vaccinated? And a full vaccination will require a third dose. Because the immunocompromised may not get the same level of protection from two doses of Pfizer or Moderna, they would be eligible for a third dose of either vaccine, though it's recommended they stay with the same manufacturer.

20:25 without COVID. So they decided, well, you know, we'll be fine. We're just going to virtue signal like this, but... Even they have their limits when it comes to the business of America. A pair of Austin restaurants just pulled their new rules requiring customers to prove COVID-19 vaccination after getting a call from the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission.

And a full vaccination will require a third dose. Because the immunocompromised may not get the same level of protection from two doses of Pfizer or Moderna, they would be eligible for a third dose of either vaccine, though it's recommended they stay with the same manufacturer.

22:07 There was no decision for those given Johnson & Johnson because there's not enough data. Love that, by the way. The CDC pointing to studies that show 40% of hospitalized breakthrough cases involve those with weak immune systems. But the agency is not calling the third dose a booster. It's very clear the CDC is labeling this a third dose as appropriate because the first two doses were not adequate enough to get the full potential of immunity. very different from a booster dose. As hospitals face a crushing wave of new COVID cases, experts say boosters for the fully vaccinated are likely a matter of when, not if. So you're going to get a third dose and boosters.

22:51 So how can you the system is not in place to as you point out record post-infection people of natural immunity. The system is also not in place to add on extra vaccinations. They just don't have I'm sure of it. I'm sure that's already has room for about five spots right but if you've already sent it in you have your digital passport or something like you know the oh yeah no once you get right once you go through all that then it's going to be pretty much impossible. Right. Do you have another COVID clip here? Yeah, I got a couple more. Okay. Two more. Go. Okay, this one here is just a classic NPR BS clip that they haven't gotten them, they haven't been read in yet on the walk back. On the walk back. Oh, we haven't heard the gun received. The walk back has just begun, so I don't expect, NPR is going to be last to hear about it.

23:42 Because they're on their own to do their own thing. But let's listen to this is COVID BS NPR. This is about the story about Asheville. In Nashville, Vanderbilt University Medical Center declared itself completely full on Friday, meaning they are turning away many transfers often from out of state. Methodist-Le Bonheur in Memphis, which serves residents of Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee, had just three ICU beds open with no sign that hospitalizations will slow down. Dr. Shailesh Patel says vaccinations are the key. If we do not take action now, we're going to be in a lot of trouble. We're not going to have the ability to care for people. Patel says at his hospital, 96% of COVID-19 deaths since June 1st have been among those who weren't vaccinated. For NPR News, I'm Blake Farmer in Nashville. Now they're way behind. That little crap in the end. They're way behind.

22:51 So how can you the system is not in place to as you point out record post-infection people of natural immunity. The system is also not in place to add on extra vaccinations. They just don't have I'm sure of it. I'm sure that's already has room for about five spots right but if you've already sent it in you have your digital passport or something like you know the oh yeah no once you get right once you go through all that then it's going to be pretty much impossible. Right. Do you have another COVID clip here? Yeah, I got a couple more. Okay. Two more. Go. Okay, this one here is just a classic NPR BS clip that they haven't gotten them, they haven't been read in yet on the walk back. On the walk back. Oh, we haven't heard the gun received. The walk back has just begun, so I don't expect, NPR is going to be last to hear about it.

23:42 Because they're on their own to do their own thing. But let's listen to this is COVID BS NPR. This is about the story about Asheville. In Nashville, Vanderbilt University Medical Center declared itself completely full on Friday, meaning they are turning away many transfers often from out of state. Methodist-Le Bonheur in Memphis, which serves residents of Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee, had just three ICU beds open with no sign that hospitalizations will slow down.

That little crap in the end. They're way behind.

24:32 They're way behind and then here's another, this is the last clip I have, this is the booster. I call this clip and this is the booster creep which is kind of what you just addressed which is the idea that these vaccines don't work and they need a lot of boosters and they're gonna probably need them forever if you expect the vaccine to work by the time that they ever do work they will be, the virus will be gone but Booster creep is what I like to refer to as this. Oh again, you need another shot. Oh, maybe two more. Let's play this Santa Clara County is now allowing people with compromised immune systems to get a third vaccination shot in the hopes of boosting protection from COVID-19. This comes days after U.S. regulators announced transplant recipients, cancer patients and others could get an extra dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines. Dr. Jennifer Tong is the Associate Chief Medical Officer for Santa Clara Valley Medical Center.

25:26 We wanted to be ready to offer this as soon as it was approved by the FDA and recommended by the CDC because we knew that this population was the highest risk, even when they've done everything that we've recommended. We haven't killed them yet. I love how this is for people who have weak immune systems, where I think it's been clinically proven how this works, these mRNA vaccines. actually are intended to weaken your immune system temporarily. Well the other thing is there's counter-programming that This is a local report, but there's counter-programming saying, well, if you're over a certain age, because you have a weakened immune system, you shouldn't take the shot under. And so you hear those reports and you hear this report, or you need a booster, you need a booster. And then you have what you just pointed out, which is you have the counter-programming between the use of the term booster and third shot, or, I mean, these guys, it's out of control. At this point, it's a mess.

26:27 I should have mentioned that the state of Illinois is now or has been using Experian, the credit reporting company, as their identity verification provider. So when you send in your card for your vaccination pass, your digital pass, they check your ID against Experian. Isn't that cool? I wonder how long it'll be until Credit Karma starts to give you extra karma points if you are triple vaccinated. Oh, that's around the corner. They're ever meeting as we speak. These are things you really don't want to be involved in. So the vaccines is one thing, but there's something else. I'm going to come back to this mass hysteria because I think you called that correctly. And we're also hearing

27:18 terms like dictatorship, but I think totalitarian regime is the most overused or most used. Oh, it's totalitarian. Let's just do a quick trip around the world. This is a quick report from Roland. Los Angeles, now we know no movie, no restaurant without proof of vaccination. In Germany, Roland says the government has overridden the vaccination committee's recommendation to not go all out and vaccinate kids. Some schools are doing field trips to vaccination sites. Guess what they're doing there? Getting the kids vaccinated. Additionally, the rhetoric in private and public forums is getting more evil by the minute. People who don't want to get vaccinated are called vermin. Some even want to put them in camps. Yeah, Germany, he says. Oh, Germany, I got to leave her.

28:07 Lastly he says in San Francisco I can't go to a restaurant bar gym or club anymore starting on the 24th of the month. San Francisco Jazz just announced on Thursday they will also only admit fully vaccinated people 12 years and older. You can bet the symphony opera and theater will follow their lead. The symphony has already done that because James went to the symphony with her boyfriend and he had to have a vax card. Meanwhile the EU is pondering to admit only visitors who are fully vaccinated. I hope I slip in under the wire by the way. So we're looking forward. I'm not very excited about the pace of all this. It's eight more days or nine more days. Now what is happening in Australia is kind of off the hook.

28:49 And I'm getting, you know, I'm completely tapped in. Sir Chris Wilson is locked up like a dog. He's been making great end of show mixes. He's just, he's passing on all the information, the resistance. There is a true resistance happening. But here is just a short report. not even a report this is uh... new south wales with their new measures for covid and who they're for and what they do i'm also told the new south wales government will be requesting from the commonwealth more troops and more members of the australian defense force to try and police these orders because simply as it stands right now lizzy

29:25 It is not working what we are doing. The police commissioner and the police minister have put their heads together and they're trying to fix it themselves. And this is all happening now but any idea of when we might see these changes? I'm told 48 hours have been given that the New South Wales Police force their legal team to redraft these public health orders essentially to make the health orders work for the police rather than work for the public because at the moment the public We're the people who are ensuring that this lockdown is continuing. A small group of people continually breaking the public health orders. Police don't believe they have the tools or have the ability to be able to stamp it out and that is now what they're chasing.

30:01 Yeah, I'm sorry, that actually was the report and here she is. Government areas including deployment of specialized commands and including a riot squad, highway patrol and increased presence more broadly. From Monday there'll be 500 extra Australian defense officers on the ground as well following a request by NSW police. There'll be enhanced random checkpoints at key roads with accompanying electronic warning signs so that police have every ability with that increased presence to clamp down on people doing the wrong thing. From Monday, the health orders will be formally enforced from midnight. However, between now and then police will still be able to impose these additional fines even though the health orders kick in on Monday morning after midnight. Between now and then if police have evidence

30:50 that you're doing the wrong thing in any of these categories, these additional fines will apply. So $5,000 for on-the-spot breach of home quarantine, which is currently $1,000. $5,000 on the spot for lying on a permit, which is already a criminal offence. $5,000 on the spot fine for lying to a contact tracer, which is already a criminal offence. $3,000 on the spot fine for breaching the two-person exercise rule in any way. $3,000 on the spot fine for breaching rules going into regional New South Wales. In Greater Sydney and other lockdown areas.

31:26 But not the local government areas of concern. The 10km rule will come down to 5km. So you can obviously do activity within your local government area, but instead of 10km from your home, it will be 5km from your home. And that's for all of Greater Sydney. All those areas which aren't the local government areas of concern will now have imposed on them the 5km and 15km. affected local government areas we want to stress that exercise means only exercise and supervision of children so the word recreation will not leave any doubt that word is taken out in terms of those local government areas of concern. I mean this this is really quite severe we've changed we take another word recreation only exercise you better be doing jumping jacks you shit you pleb it's it's it seems insane so

32:19 I want to point out, and I have one clip in this regard too, which is the French riots. Oh, let's do that. Let's do that. But I want to point out that this is so underreported in the US media. In fact, the French clip, which is in the US media, you can see how they downplayed. Well, everyone's rioting, but it's no big deal. They won't even talk about the Australians. I have never seen a report on this. the Australian situation in American media that goes into the details we have. There's no reporting on, no real reporting on what's happening in the European Union, multiple countries, no reporting on what's happening when it comes to protests, the UK, with all of Australia. It's just, it's completely absent. There's also no reporting on Hunter Biden, you know.

33:08 Just so you know, there's a lot of things that are going unreported, but this is a big one. The Hunter Biden stuff is just off the rails. And the fact that it's not being reported, I'd like to know what's wrong with the Ameri- and I will say this, John, in defense of the American journalists, even though I'm, I wouldn't consider myself an American journalist at this point. I know there's a bunch of people working for these news organizations that would love to report on the Hunter Biden thing because it's juicy, it's fun, it's hilarious. It's the editors of these crapping major corporate news operations. It's the editors who are preventing it. They're preventing it and I'm sure that they have... well maybe some of my analysis in a bit will explain what's going on with them as well.

33:57 Good. Well, let's do the French thing. I want to hear the French riots. Yeah, here's the French report that I think came off ANPR. More than 200,000 people amassed across France today for a fifth round of demonstrations against the so-called health pass law. As Rebecca Rossman reports, the law took full effect earlier this week. Macron, don't pass. Led by the far-right Patriot Party leader, Florian Philippot, demonstrators in Paris shouted, Macron, we don't want your pass, while carrying signs that said, liberate us and corona madness. France's health pass requires people to show proof of vaccination or a recent negative COVID-19 test to enter bars, restaurants, cafes, or to board a train or plane.

34:41 But recent polls show that despite the vocal opposition, the majority of France's 76 million people support the health pass. Government data shows nearly two-thirds of the eligible population is now fully vaccinated. And the government says it expects to reach its target of vaccinating 50 million people by the end of August. For NPR News, I'm Rebecca Rossman in Paris. If they say 200,000, you can bet it was probably closer to 2 million. Yeah, I'm sure it was. They always lowball that kind of stuff. But then they backed it off, you know, just a bunch of jerk-offs. Most people are very happy. Everybody's real happy. Well, they're not and we all know it because all you need to do is take a look at Twitter and see the hate and the just real vile back and forth.

35:25 You only have to look at the email, I look at all the emails coming in, families. There's this one great, not a great, it's a sad video of some Australian guy whose wife, who also works in healthcare, had him arrested for a so-called mental breakdown because he refused to take the, to accept the vaccine into his life. And they- The wife had him arrested? Yes, yes, and they put him in a, like a detention center for the mentally ill. And he's doing videos from there. Don't marry an Australian woman. I get lots of emails from producers whose spouse is pressuring them or spouse accepted vaccine, spouse sick, what do I do now? All these kinds of things. I would love you to reread the note that you had. You don't have to do it now, but if you could it'd be great. The note that you had from one of our

34:41 But recent polls show that despite the vocal opposition, the majority of France's 76 million people support the health pass.

I would love you to reread the note that you had. You don't have to do it now, but if you could it'd be great. The note that you had from one of our

36:23 producers who happens to be a Duke, whose mother-in-law kept pressuring him and his wife to get this shot. And then when she got the shot, she was, it ruined her. And now she's a babbling idiot because of the nature of the shot and the old women That was a couple shows ago. That'd be hard for me to find Yeah, it was more than a couple shows ago actually But it was a it was an example of this and then she got the shot and she I guess there was some Syndrome that does happen occasionally somebody where you you just go mentally ill Yeah, and she's go nuts and you go bad and you have to be locked up from the shot but this

37:05 What is happening is I think you know you and I and all the producers of the no agenda show Started at the beginning and were we were in fact it's interesting that this you know the the government says well You know these these anti-vaxxers these deniers. You know they have they look at a lot of data those crazy people So we were looking a lot of data and like this is bull this is and look we have the experience even though we couldn't really Consciously bring it up We have the experience of this exact same situation. We know to be very skeptical because that's what it's been in the past, including what we played 10 years ago. Yeah, 10 years ago, Slainfleur, same thing. So, you know, when it comes to our amygdala or whatever it is inside our brains, we're not slipping into the trap of being all in and

37:55 And we can recognize people who are all in on what I think we would consider to be at least partial, if not faulty information. So what is happening? You mentioned mass hysteria. We have people talking about totalitarianism, dictatorship. Reiner Vollmacht, you remember him? He's the lawyer who's suing the World Health Organization. He's got hundreds of lawyers and doctors and they're building their case. Good luck. Well, I totally agree. But the way he's doing it, he's doing basically depositions online and he has, I mean, the one I got was his deposition number 63.

38:39 So, you know, he's been doing a lot of this and he has three other lawyers in the room and even have kind of those deposition mics that are on the table. You know, the little pointy, you know, the little stick mics that point up. So it has a whole, it truly comes across, but it's on Zoom and so they bring in people from all over the world. And this next guy, I think, nails it. He was surprised himself. His name is Matias Desmet. He's from the University of Ghent in Belgium and he is a professor in I think clinical psychology with a master's in statistics.

39:16 Here's his credentials, just a minute so you can kind of get into his voice. It takes a little bit but I think you'll be okay. Everyone will be okay with understanding what he has to say. I'm a professor in clinical psychology at Ghent University and I also have a master's degree in statistics. But in this crisis I've been taking... I said everyone can get into it because they've heard this voice a million times. This is your voice. You're pointing it out very good. Okay, so we know exactly how to listen to him. This is great. In this crisis I've been taking the perspective of mass psychology, yes, indeed. In the beginning of the crisis I have been studying the statistics and the numbers

40:05 And actually I noticed that they were often blatantly wrong and at the same time people continue to believe in it and to go along with the mainstream narrative. And that was why I started to study it rather from the perspective of mass psychology because I knew that mass formation has huge, huge impact on individuals intelligence and cognitive functioning. And I had the feeling that this was the only thing that could explain why highly intelligent people started to believe in a narrative and the numbers that were in many respects utterly absurd.

40:56 So this guy had my attention, you know, as a statistician he was looking at the same numbers we were. We saw the switcheroo's, we saw the models, we saw... and we said, no, we don't have to be statisticians, I'll need a master to see that they're fooling around with the numbers. And then he switched to his true expertise which is math or psychology. And so he uses a term called mass formation. And that you will hear that again in another clip. Mass formation is mass hysteria or mass hypnosis can also be a term. To get into this state of mass hysteria,

41:35 You need four elements. Four things need to exist or need to be in place if you want large-scale mass phenomena to emerge. And the first thing is that there need to be a lot of socially isolated people, people who experience a lack of social bond. The second one is that there need to be a lot of people who experience a lack of sense-making in life. life. And the third and the fourth condition is that there need to be a lot of free-floating anxiety and a lot of free-floating psychological discontent. If you have these four things, lack of social bonds, lack of sense-making, free-floating anxiety and free-floating psychological discontent, then society is highly at risk

42:27 for the emergence of mass phenomena. And these four conditions existed. Shortly before the Corona crisis, there was like an epidemic of burnout. Over 40 to 70% of the people experienced their jobs as completely senseless. This is described in the book Bullshit Jobs. And then if you look at the use of psychopharmaceuticals, it was huge. And then this shows how much discontent there was in our society. So, we had an interesting timing of events here with the society that was disconnected, depressed about their future, bullcrap jobs. Yes. A couple of things that also I just to point out come to mind immediately by quarantining the healthy instead of the sick which would just exacerbate item number one.

43:24 Because you're separating everybody and making it, and the edicts, including one I think I put in a newsletter, a picture of it, no talking. Yes, exactly, exactly, don't talk to your neighbor. Wear a mask and no talking. So he talks about these free-floating anxieties. Here's what that means. Free-floating anxiety is the most painful psychological phenomena someone can experience. extremely unpainful. It leads up to panic attacks to all kinds of extremely painful psychological experiences. So what people want in this situation is something to connect their anxiety to they're looking for an explanation for the anxiety. And now, if this free floating anxiety is highly present in a population, and the media provide a narrative, which indicates

44:20 an object of anxiety and at the same time describe a strategy to deal with this object of anxiety, then all the anxiety connects to this object. And people are willing to follow the strategy to deal with this object no matter what the cost is. That is what happens in the beginning of mass formation. Then in a second step, people start a collective and heroic battle with this object of anxiety. And in that way, a new kind of social bond emerges and a new kind of sense making. Suddenly life

45:04 is all directed at battling the object of anxiety and in this way establishing a new connection with other people. So, in the New York Times, yes, yes, take it to the highest standard, NBC, CBS, NPR, all of them. And this is, turns out that this is very, very dangerous when this takes place. So we have this, this missed, a complete lack of understanding of what is going on. Why is it happening? I'm isolated, quote unquote, from, from other people or even from your family.

45:40 I don't know what's going on, then all of a sudden, ah, it's the COVID, we all have to attack the COVID, and we do that with wearing masks, and we do it with vaccines. And the crowd now goes from complete isolation to a complete sense of community and belonging and collectiveness. And that's the sudden switch of a negative state, a radical lack of social connection, to the opposite. to the massive social connection that is experienced in a crowd, the sudden switch leads up to a sort of mental intoxication and that's what makes mass formation or crowd formation the exact equivalent of hypnosis. So all people who have been describing, who have been studying mass formation such as Gustave Le Bon for instance,

46:37 McDougall, Carnetti have remarked that mass formation is not similar to hypnosis, that mass formation is exactly equal to hypnosis. Mass formation is a sort of hypnosis. Okay. Go ahead. Well, a couple of things come to mind. One, by the way, this is a clip of the day when you're done. It's funny that Scott Adams, who got the vaccine... Yes, is the master hypnotist. He's the master at spotting this sort of thing. He did note my mass hysteria column, even though he said he didn't quite buy it. Although it was kind of written with guys like him in mind.

45:40 I don't know what's going on, then all of a sudden, ah, it's the COVID, we all have to attack the COVID, and we do that with wearing masks, and we do it with vaccines. And the crowd now goes from complete isolation to a complete sense of community and belonging and collectiveness. And that's the sudden switch of a negative state, a radical lack of social connection, to the opposite. to the massive social connection that is experienced in a crowd, the sudden switch leads up to a sort of mental intoxication and that's what makes mass formation or crowd formation the exact equivalent of hypnosis. So all people who have been describing, who have been studying mass formation such as Gustave Le Bon for instance,

He's the master at spotting this sort of thing. He did note my mass hysteria column, even though he said he didn't quite buy it. Although it was kind of written with guys like him in mind.

47:26 But he noted it, but he didn't. I didn't clip this particular bit. It's all in the show and most people can go check it out. He said that it took him six months, this professor. He said, I didn't understand what was happening. And after six months, I slowed... Because someone said, you know, could this be your colleagues who have been paid to do this and create this? He says, no, no, I don't think most of them are aware. I said, I wasn't even aware that it was actually taking place. And once you're in that state, which according to the... It happens to anybody. It happens to everybody overboard on our show. For sure. They're goners for sure. But when you get into the state of mass formation or mass hypnosis, a lot of crazy stuff can be done to you. So what happens is that at that moment when people experience this mental intoxication,

48:23 It doesn't matter anymore whether the narrative is correct or wrong, even blatantly wrong. What matters is that it leads up to this mental intoxication and that's why they continue to go along with the narrative, even if they could know by thinking for one second that it is wrong because for people it doesn't matter when the narrative is wrong and what we all try to do is we all try to show constantly that the narrative is wrong but for people that's not what it is all about. It's all about this the fact that they don't want to go back

49:03 to this painful state of free-floating anxiety. I'm so on board with this. I completely believe that's what's taking place. It's so... It makes nothing but sense, but let me add another little element, which I would try, I forgot in the last segment. When he talks about the new community that forms under this mass hypnosis state, and it's like, oh, we're relieved a little bit of this. That's the community, that's where the stay safe mm-hmm yes the Germans were in a community all you know Heil Hitler I or I'll Hitler and the other one which is are you vaccinated yes are you did you join the party which are you vaccinated is the same as if you had the training and yes

49:53 It was a cult. Have you had the training? Have you had the training? Oh yes I have. Oh okay, you're a member of our group. Have you been vaccinated? Oh good, you're a member of our group. We can be happy together. It's very sick at this point. Sick. It is so sick that this state that people are in can make them completely, since all they want to do is not go back to the pain of the isolation and the misunderstanding and the unknown, that you can actually inflict pain on them and they won't even know it. As a consequence of mass formation, people do not get egoistic at all. Rather, to the contrary, mass formation focuses your attention so much on one point that you can take

50:40 everything away of people, their psychological and physical well-being, their material well-being. You can take it away and they will even not notice it and that's one of the major consequences of mass formation. And it's exactly the same as hypnosis, as classical hypnosis. When a hypnotist, when during hypnosis someone's attention is focused on one point You can cut in his flesh, the person will not notice it and that is what happens all the time when hypnosis is used as a kind of anesthesia during surgical operations. A rather simple hypnotic procedure is sufficient to make people completely insensitive to pain.

51:34 And I think that we're beyond that state, we're in the next phase, and this is where he got my attention, as he equates this mass hypnosis, this mass formation, with totalitarianism, which is not what you might think it is. Another consequence that is very typical for totalitarian states is that people become radically intolerant for dissonant voices. If someone tells another story or if someone claims that the official story is wrong then this person threatens to wake the people up and they will get angry because they are confronted

52:13 with the initial anxiety and the initial psychological discontent and so they direct all their aggression at these dissonant voices, at the other voices. And at the same time they are radically tolerant for their leaders, for the people who pronounce the mainstream narrative These people can actually cheat and lie and manipulate and do everything they want. They will always be forgiven by the crowd because the crowd seems to think that they do it for their own sake and that's also part of the mechanism of mass formation.

52:55 So, of course, they get completely radicalized, they hate you, they hate you if you go against the narrative. A lot of people, they say, he's not my friend anymore. Oh yeah, they divest themselves, you're dead to me, all of that stuff. Family members, it doesn't matter. And it's not, and I think, well, I only have one more clip and then we can discuss it. But here's the kicker of the situation we are in right now. Is this a medical tyranny? Is this a biosecurity state? Perhaps, but when it comes to our leaders, this is the most interesting thing. If there is one difference between mass formation and totalitarianism, because the two are almost identical, on the one hand, and classical hypnosis on the other hand, then it is that while in classical hypnosis,

53:45 The one who hypnotizes is awake. His field of attention is not narrowed down. In mass formation and in totalitarianism, the field of attention of the leaders of the masses, of the totalitarian leaders, is usually even narrower than the field of attention of the population. What doesn't take, that's meaning that the totalitarian leaders and the leaders of the masses usually really believe in the ideology according to which they try to organize society. So they are convinced for instance of transhumanism. They are convinced

54:26 of mechanistic materialism and so on. They are convinced of the ideology, they are convinced that this ideology will bring people in a kind of artificial paradise because that's something that is common to all kinds of totalitarianism. The leaders of the masses and the totalitarian leaders usually, not usually, always said Gustave Le Bon and said Hannah Arendt, they are really deeply convinced of the ideology. We are effed. Big time. I've known this for decades. I know, I'm just waking up to it. So with our quote unquote... This is very good. This is the top. This is the kind of stuff, of course, our listeners and producers, mainly we're out there, everyone's a producer, except a few out there. Our producers are aware, we've kept them from falling into the abyss.

55:27 Yes, I mean at least I'm only saying that not based on what I think I'm saying it based on what they write in yes, and they keep telling us this and so we have to assume this is true and I just want to make sure that everyone recognizes the fact that we're on top of it so His whole talk is interesting, very hard to pull short enough clips. This was much longer than typical, but I think it was worth it. I could have listened to more of it. But what he says is that, okay, so we cannot... What doesn't work with the mass formation is facts. None of that works. He says first everyone needs to embrace these people who are so

56:16 afraid of the pain of going back to where we were, you know, that the free-floating anxiety. We have to understand that and embrace that. And he says the second thing, and then he completely went on a whole rant about Hitler, Germany, World War II. He says the most important thing is everybody has to keep speaking. You have to keep speaking your truth. When that shuts down, and it's happening on Twitter that... No, it's shut down in the United States. The mainstream media was shut down. It was shut down on Twitter. It was shouted down. And now it's being censored.

56:55 And so that is why it's so critical that we continue speaking our own truth. As long as we still make noise, we still have a chance. His words, the professor. But whoa, this is... we're in a pickle. We're in a real pickle. And by the way, this is a... If once the COVID thing blows over, you got climate change to fall back on and climate change is the exact same mechanism. Oh, and it's already started, the connector is there. Did you catch it? I'm sure you caught it. Which one? Oh, here's the connector. Here it is. We're fine. It's from this is a report from the Bay Area NBC. We had a record number of spare the air days last year and we're told to stay inside. Outside we were told to wear N95 masks to protect ourselves from that toxic smoke. And now a study shows that COVID infection rates actually spiked during those high smoke days in

57:49 in 2020 and that there was a correlation between particulate matter and positivity rates. It is an observational study at this point by the Journal of Exposure Science and Environmental Epidemiology, but it's something to look at. As the authors say, it shows that pollution makes people more susceptible to infection. So a reminder of what you can do. People most You hear what this is going on here? So because of the wildfires, because of climate change, more people got sick with COVID. And this is not just the local NBC, The Washington Post headline, new study says wildfire smoke linked to increased COVID cases and deaths. Axios, excess COVID cases, deaths linked to wildfire smoke in new study. And it is indeed, it's a pre-print, it's not peer reviewed.

58:37 But this is okay. Oh, we got to push this one. This is this has got to be it. This is it. Here we go. We got it They got the link and what do you do when you have climate change which creates fires? Which makes people more people get sick with kovat you put them inside I'm gonna take my clip of the day before I forget by the way. Oh, yeah, don't forget. Yeah, I mean they are actually quite a few and far between these days Let's take a nap. Which would be perfect for universal health care by the way, I'm sure that's still on deck I have report boots on the right and you and I will reiterate my position which is its counter and its counter to universal health care it makes you know because it the elements that are collapsing are or Would be part of universal health care. I I just do not see how they can pull this off. They're screwing it up

59:56 Oh, okay, well that's possible. But there is a crisis, manufactured or not, and it's all staffing related. All of these reports, because you'll see a report, oh, in Oregon, hospital beds almost full, ICU units, COVID cases. And the main reason is they can't get the staff. They laid off a whole bunch of staff through the first cycle of this. Which was never fully explained. No. First of all, let's go back to the olden days. February, March of 2020. COVID is bad. They have the two Mercy ships coming into dock in New York Harbor, not unused. Javits Center filled to the gills with beds, unused.

1:00:51 The hospitals, they show reports of all the ambulances, but then every blogger in the world went by with their cameras, found nothing going on. In the meantime, the hospitals are supposed to be stocked full of people, and I guess one was, which was the kind of the test case. And then they lay off a bunch of people because They just laid off a bunch of people everywhere. What was the point of laying off people? Whether because they weren't COVID specialists? None of it made any sense. So just a few headlines and a few quick boots on the ground reports. Shenandoah Valley, some nurses choose termination over getting the vaccine. Tennessee, this is one of our producers, a lot of people just quit. Just quit. They're just tired of it. They're tired of the stress because they're understaffed. Phoenix,

1:01:43 Mandatory hospital vaccines for hospital workers is spreading with Phoenix Children Hospital now requiring the jab by October 1st. I had lunch with a friend whose wife is a surgical manager at the hospital and the employee staged a walkout over the new requirements. According to her, roughly 40% of the surgical staff is not vaccinated and has reported no intention of getting the jab. Hospital leadership is concerned. This is the best one. And of course, and of course, The question as to why they're not getting the jab is never addressed. No, why would you? There's amion.com, A-M-I-O-N, is a staffing scheduling program used by hospital and urgent care facilities nationwide.

1:02:29 My wife works for Sutter in Northern California. This week it's been discovered that schedule shifts for physicians seem to be disappearing from Am I On. Am I On of course links to Apple and Google calendars and most people have a sense of when they're working but they check before they show up for their ER or UC shifts. No Am I On shift, they assume they're not on the schedule and don't show up. Result? an artificial shortage of medical staff to deal with the worsening pandemic, leading to longer delays and wait for it, overflowing emergency rooms, ER waiting rooms. Look out for news stories about the pandemic overwhelming ERs in the next week or two. They will either not mention the problem with scheduling or they will simply mention a staffing shortage just as the crisis goes. Ooh!

1:03:17 And he says, I note that Sutter did not say M.I.A.N. had been hacked, just that shifts are mysteriously disappearing. I don't know man, this could be intentional stuff, I don't know. Could be intentional. And then you get all of the, this is globally, you get people who work in government and they're now also forced into vaccination. In Canada, the transport minister, Alhabra, He says, yeah, the vaccine will be mandatory for federal employees and those working in some federally regulated industries, airlines, railways, banking, broadcasting, telecommunication. This is not a recommendation. This is a mandatory requirement to work in a federal workplace or work in the government of Canada. So, you know, but when it comes to the health care system, it's... Let me ask you this. In aviation,

1:04:15 The pilot and co-pilot never have the same meal for a very simple reason. If one of them is bad, then you know, the other one probably won't get sick and can probably still fly the aircraft. How does that work if everyone's vaccinated in the hospital and something's wrong? Who takes over then? Who flies the plane? Goes down, man. Yeah, yeah, man, it goes down. I'm concerned about this. Well, I don't know. I mean, the whole thing, it's... I mean, all we can do is deconstruct the news. Oh yeah, of course. No, that's all we want to do. I know, that's a fact, by the way. There's nothing else I want to do. That's all we want to do. We don't want to deal with this crap.

1:05:11 Let me see, do I have anything else? I want to mention a couple things also back to that guy's little talk. When he talked about the book Bullshit Jobs, which I was unfamiliar with, but he said that there's, you know, he talked about the lead up to this whole thing and then the jobs thing where people were dissatisfied with their jobs. They've been brainwashed. Another brainwashing thing we don't discuss much is the brainwashing about jobs, about a job. then the kids have been brainwashed. Don't do anything that you're not passionate about. It's a mainstream thing. When I was a kid, I just did anything to make money. And I'd always go for the most, I'd go work a union job or something, doing something lousy, a job that's not much fun, but it's a lot of money. And that used to be an attitude of my group and the baby boomers. We used to go, yeah, I'll go work on an assembly line. I hate it, but I'll do it because it pays well.

1:06:05 But over the years, and everyone's been convinced, don't do anything unless you really love it. But there's very few jobs in your life that you're ever gonna really love. Hobbies are, you wanna love something, take up a hobby, become a photographer. Start podcasting. Do podcasting, there's over 4.5 million people that have tried to do podcasting. Go for it, peeps. And so, you can love doing that or not. I mean, you might get sick of it. Most people would like you, that's mentioned in all the stats, they do five podcasts and then they quit. Because not as easy as it looks, especially when you do this many. So this idea has created this dissatisfaction and bullshit jobs is just a reflection of it. And that's accounting for

1:06:53 these people that aren't going back to work. I think a lot of it, you know, the Republicans all blaming, well, you're getting free money from the government, you're never gonna go back to work. No, no, the humans of today, and this is where I think in 10 years when they roll the new news script, they'll have to adjust. They had too much communications. They had too much time to think. No hardship really of getting food. Oh, make a note of that. We've got to make food a little harder because they were not concentrating on the basic necessities that much. They were concentrating on evaluating their life and like, hey, you know, I can do with a little less money and I can do something else and have more fun instead of being a slave for that a-hole. In New York now,

1:07:35 young people are advised not to take any job even if you're one two years out of college for less than $72,000 that's how they talk amongst themselves what yes yep that's how you know everybody thinks This is the part, by the way, let's add another element to this, the self-esteem movement. Where people's self-worth is way out of proportion of what their real worth is. You're not worth $72,000 a year for not knowing anything and having zero experience. It's just no, no. And the narrative now is, oh, it's a worker's market, yeah, they can sit there and just demand more higher wages. Sure.

1:08:20 Tell that to the robots who are taking over your job. Yeah, no kidding. I hate that at HEB when I walk out, I had to get some barbecue stuff for the grill and I had maybe eight items, you know, small carrying in my arms. I just go through the self-checkout and as I'm standing there, I'm like, this is it, man. No more kids no longer needed for packing bags. It's not needed. Soon you'll just throw it into a trough and it'll come out the other end packed. Yeah. Tap your wrist with your chip. It's like the book publishing businesses now. You can actually print one book. Yeah. Because it's all automated. Yeah. Publish on demand. Print on demand. These kids are in for a rude awakening, especially when the economy collapses and they

1:09:10 wish that they had some, they had developed some experience at a low pay. Well, no, they will all be thanking me that I invented podcasting 2.0. Oh yeah, then we'll get 100 million podcasters. Possibility. They're trying to value for value. Yeah, man. Exactly. Exactly. Hey, if two old dudes can do it, who can't? Know what I'm saying? This is where you go. Yeah, anybody can do it. Anybody can do it. And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the seas in the COVID climate link, ladies and gentlemen, John C. Dvorak. Land 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.

You can listen live to this podcast, many other podcasts all across No Agenda Nation. You can troll the host if they're reading along or you know, you just troll each other. It's fun. It's a good place to be. It's kind of where the discussion starts and then it usually flows over to No Agenda Social. That's our federated Mastodon instance which is available through any other Mastodon server that you can join up to. You can certainly start your own. ITMSlaves.com is a good example of that. You could probably join there still. ITMSlaves? Yeah, ITMSlaves.com.

1:11:28 You know, we had some ISP connection issues, so stuff is going up and down, and we had a couple of short down periods, and that's why it's distributed. So now only 10,000 people couldn't communicate across the network, but ITMSlaves.com still could. This is why we need more of that. So follow John C. Dvorak at NoAgendaSocial.com or Adam at NoAgendaSocial.com. And I'd like to thank our artist for episode 1372. We titled that to Gropeline. Of course, we were honoring the homosexual governor. And right along with that from Comic Strip Blogger came a fabulous piece of art. Fabulous in multiple ways, certainly in its simplicity. We had Boy Robin with the... Fabulous! We had Boy Robin with the Pride colored font.

1:12:24 And it, and you know, I went looking and there is indeed a picture of Boy Robin that is that picture. I mean... Oh no! Yes, that's... You mean Comma Strip blogger took a photo from someplace else? He didn't actually make that photo himself? Exactly! Oh my God! So that's not one of his photos? Yeah, exactly. Let me see. We were also looking at a lot of other things. A lot of butts too many butts too many butts. There's one good, but I like the butt. Let me go I didn't well you like nestworks, but and and I like nestworks, but this work did a good butt there Yeah, we didn't we decided about it. We didn't know didn't do butts. What else was there? We did I thought Fletcher's was very creative just a black background and said not clip art was the title of it. So I was very good the no agenda

1:13:24 FDA vigilant sacrifice cute cute There was a number of kind of quasi evergreen pieces that were you like you know one that you liked and it was like I didn't like trust the protocol Yes, trust the protocol. It had a Darren. Yeah, it was just it was boring. I Right, okay. I mean it was hypnotic and I kind of maybe I just fell into my hypnotic state. Well yeah, it's a problem. That's what there's two of us. Yes, exactly. And there was someone else. That was kind of it, I think. I don't think it was that good of a collection. No. It was a tough show to draw art for. This is also true. But you know stuff like Pfizer pussy vaccine, yeah that's just not gonna happen.

1:14:14 No agenda, fart away, anti-fart oral vaccine? I mean, no, no. Yeah, fart and booger and dick jokes is what it's called in the trade. Okay, yeah. It's not something we want to go toward. Trying to stay away from that. Well, thank you very much, Comicstripblogger. Appreciate the artwork and all of... Comicstripblogger, of course, has been around for... Oh my goodness, man. He's been around before the show. Oh, you're right. He's around doing Yo Agenda. Yeah, no agenda, Yo Agenda. His whole orientation in life was to bitch about us personally and bitch about the show. Yes. That was his thing. And he still kind of is that way. No, that is his thing. Nothing's changed. And he draws cartoons. I just like the consistency of it. And he draws cartoons and he has a podcast about artificial intelligence.

1:15:12 Yeah, I didn't know that. Did you? Yeah. I did not know that. Yeah. Dynamo. Is it called Blow Agenda? Oh, je forse, je for. You can see all of these fine pieces of artwork expertly crafted in our cloud chapters by Dreb Scott if you're using a Podcasting 2.0 compatible app. And I wanted to mention for those of you who want to do a video podcast, you can now upload to Alex Gates's KnowAgendaTube, KnowAgendaTube.com Ooh, yeah, and then it automatically it will get a feed and it will show up in in the new podcast apps and it'll play video haha So so there's no storage cost

1:23:25 Um, I mean, because you have my papers, you don't have practice, you know, you don't have to get out of the driveway. What's what are you talking about? I don't know. No, locked down. Um, anyway, so there's that's a scar pool and onward. Yeah, William, Rinko Jr. Parts Unknown in the US, 333, de-douching and jobs. Karma, please, for this federal employee who refuses to get the Vaxoline. You've been de-douched. Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs. Let's vote for jobs! You've got karma. I'll grab this one too. Okay, yeah. Let me move ahead. Sir Crushlot, Black Knight of the Leelanau Grapefields.

1:24:13 33057. In the morning gentlemen, I thought it was time to gain another producer credit simply so I can comment on the return of the surge. Yes, this is a good feedback loop. Honestly, if the Delta variant hadn't come along when it did, public health authorities would have had to invent it. Hmm. They were standing at the precipice facing the very real prospect of having to relinquish their extraordinary powers The only person I can recall in history who willingly relinquished extraordinary power was George Washington. Fortunately, their clarion calls amplified by the state-sponsored media have brought the aggressively compliant out in droves. This time around they've been joined by what I choose to call the joyously fearful.

1:24:54 The CDC's schizophrenic mask on, mask off debacle reminded me of the scene in Arrested Development when GOB tries to seduce his father's secretary. The only logical explanation for the CDC's performance, aside from the fact that Rochelle Walensky is hopelessly overwhelmed by her job, is that it is a three-step program for the imposition of vaccine passports. I was well into a discussion, discussion I guess, on those steps when I realized I was writing War and Peace so I stopped. Good. My donation of $3.3057 represents 3 cents per word of my completed novel, CPHS Rules. That's Committee for Public Health and Safety. That's 110,191 words for those keeping score at home. It is now complete and I am looking for representation. If there are any agents in Gitmo Nation, please contact me. Yes, I'll put your email in the show notes. MichaelGodell at gmail.com.

1:25:53 No jingles, just some publishing karma. Keep up the good work. Oh, we are making art here on the No Agenda Show. Very nice. You've got karma. It's a creative day. It's very... The creators are out there. Creators. Sir Vunderhelm. Ah, Luke. Sir Luke Vunderhelm. Yeah, this is our first associate executive producer. $284.39. He's in Helsinki. He knows the two of us. Yes. After having I think we used to get phones from him Back it's a long. It's a long time ago. We're talking mm-hmm

1:26:32 Yeah, seven eight something like that. He was our phone contact Yeah after having spent a few months at my summer retreat without access to podcasts and other media it is now time to climb back on board Yeah here my back-to-school donation jingle requests comic strip blogger You remember he used to do Yo Agenda with the Comic Strip Blogger. It was the two of them. Yes. You've got karma. Comic Strip Blogger will have to be cleaning his underwear now.

1:27:23 Anne Dunev from St. Charles, Illinois. 233-33. And I sent this donation to... I sent a donation of 233 to celebrate my August 14th birthday. Happy birthday, since being part of the No Agenda Producers is a real gift. Please de-douche me. You've been de-douched. I was hit in the mouth during the lockdown by Pam McInnes. The contribution to my sanity was immense. As a neuropathic practitioner for 25 years, I have watched conventional medicine get wackier every year as the greed and corruption of big pharma spread like a cancer. The No Agenda Show is a natural medicine for the...

1:28:04 Exactly. The No Agenda show is a natural medicine for the pandemic of fear and isolation. As Ben Franklin said, we must all hang together or assuredly we shall all hang separately. That's what Hillary Clinton said too. Thanks for being real as well as being very funny fellows. You guys set the bar by creating the best podcast in the universe. Karma for everybody who needs it please. Thank you very much. It's a very sweet note. I appreciate that. You've got karma and we do have the best producers how many shows have their very own neuropathic practitioner None, but she also ends it with love is lit. Oh, thank you. I missed that so let's don't forget love is lit indeed Mike Robinson at 202 15 comes in next and he's in Salem don't inhale him, Oregon 202 15 equals $200 plus 2015 cents. I'm a no agenda

1:28:58 I'm no agenda tithing 33% my recent bonus for working through the scam Demick and kicking my $2.15 Google Plus settlement up to the best podcast in the universe. Woo! A settlement? Wow. He got a settlement. He got as part of the class action lawsuit. The class action? At least $2 more than most people get in these things. Yeah, no kidding. Forced vaccination is getting pushed hard here. Oregon law prohibits mandatory vaccination for health care workers, but Kaiser Permanente and others are mandating it anyway. Wow. Can I get an R2-D2 and Jobs Karma and a Biden? No, I'm serious.

1:29:39 Uh, for We Robot Slaves. ITM Sir Furry with fur, furry with anger. Oh, fury. I'm sorry. Let's do that again. Sir Furry with fur and fury with anger. No, I'm serious. Think about it. Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs. Let's vote for jobs! You've got karma. Uh, let's see. When did that become a pickup? the Biden thing. You know, it's interesting you ask that because I didn't, I've never seen this as a request and I went into my system and two searches and... No, I'm serious. Think about it. It's one of your clips and usually when it's one of your clips, I mean, I'm just, I'm just saying it, just going to go ahead and say it. Usually it's hard to find because of some of the misspellings and this, uh, this was spelled properly. Although the B, the I and the D of Biden were uppercase.

1:30:42 Which is interestingly how- Bitch, bitch, bitch. No, I'm not. No, interestingly, I was gonna say something. This is how I remember things. If I- so if I do a search for a certain type of jingle, it's often the misspelling or the uppercase things that draw my eye to it. That's my journalistic background. So I remember a lot of these. You spell things wrong so you can find them. It works. I'm telling you a lot of these I find visually not just by the title but oh I remember kind of these words grouped together. I don't know. I'm autistic. What can I say? Rachel Epperson, not pitching at you, $200.

1:31:24 Guys, I love you. You're a hefty slice of comfort pie Today's question. Can you think of one particular event in your young lives? That sets you on the path to becoming the creators of the best podcast in the universe That's a good question. You can't think of a sing that you don't think I mean I was a paperboy baby Really when I was a paperboy I can remember it clear as day. It was a Sunday and the Sunday papers were big giant things back in the day, huge. And on the back of my bike, I took a paper and I threw, I was good at porching the papers. I had a good arm and I'd porch paper, but porching the Sunday's papers was something of a challenge because you really had to heave it. It kind of threw the bike off the kilter because these things were big. So I heave the Sunday paper.

1:32:17 I'm way off on the shot. It hits right in the middle of a giant plate glass window of the front room. And did it shatter? No, it bounced off the window, landed perfectly on the porch. And from that day on I said, I'm going to do a podcast when I'm older. Ah, there it is. Okay, very good. I remember it very well. There's a picture of it. I have the picture somewhere, I believe. I was five years old, I was sitting in the closet, hold your jokes, I was sitting in the closet with a naked light bulb above me, and I was pretending to, I was speaking into the microphone of one of my dad's old, and I'm talking old, old, 1960, this must have been 69 or 70, reel-to-reel tape machines.

1:33:15 which wasn't used for dictation or something, but it was a big one. It was big and gray and clunky, I remember, and I had the microphone in my hand. And what I remember is that my mom took the picture, and why I remember this, probably because the picture's around, and she said, your grandfather would be so proud of you. And my grandfather was in the communications corps, landed at Normandy Beach on D-Day. Oh, I thought he was a collaborator, the way he made it sound in the closet, doll. Okay, thanks for just linking that to one of my cherished childhood memories. And it was at that point that I thought, I'm gonna be a podcaster. Okay, it's as good as my story. Or better actually, because it has pictures of it. And I have no picture of my, or proof that I... And you weren't in a closet, so... I was, see? I was in a Cluedio just a few years ago. I have not, things have not changed for me. I'm still, I'm still spitting in a mic in a closet. Asta, next on the list is Asta.

1:34:16 I don't know. Can you think you can maybe get closer to this pronunciation than I can? I can try. Asta Astrauskaite. She's Lithuanian. Yeah, ever since we brought up Lithuania, we got the Lithuanians on board. The keeper is half Lithuanian. Greetings? That's interesting because she looks it. No, I'm serious. I've known many Lithuanian women. Greetings from Vilnius, Lithuania. Me and my husband have been listening since Adam's second appearance on JRE. Already played the jingle. So this donation is long overdue. Please de-douche. We've got a stuck douche. There we go. You've been de-douched.

1:35:03 Recently, my husband who works in the film industry lost a gig in Norway due to quarantine requirements for the unvaccinated which include a stay in a quarantine prison for up to 10 days. Wow. A job's karma would be greatly appreciated. During Soviet occupation of the Baltic states, which we'll never hear the end of, Lithuanians would secretly tune into broadcasting operation Voice of America to escape communist propaganda. Today as we are being occupied by Covid totalitarianism, we listen to no agenda to cut through the Orwellian BS surrounding us everywhere, as we discussed earlier in the show, coincidentally.

1:35:52 Thanks for all you do you guys rock PS all Lithuanians listening and never donating you are douchebags Yours truly Asta These are two people who know what totalitarianism is, who had to sneak listen to the voice of America. And I feel bad that... To maintain their sanity. Exactly! To maintain some bit of sanity. And here we are again. And they used the word. So happy to have you as associate executive producers. Thank you. Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs! And that ends our short list of executive and associate executive producers for show 1373. Yes, and we very much appreciate that. Everyone should try to at least be an executive producer once in their life and these people certainly have qualified. We'll be thanking more people later on in the broadcast. This is part of our value for value model. It's up, it's down, it's all over the place. We're still doing it. So the experiment works, everyone is producing. And if you'd like to join in on that, go to...

1:36:57 We'll do it all over again on Thursday. Thank you very much for producing 1373. Our formula is this. We go out, we hit people in the mouth. Order! Shut up, slave! Shut up, slave! You wanna do Afghanistan? Yeah, let's do Afghanistan. I only have two clips, but they're pretty... I think I have two. Oh no, I have a couple. I got a couple. I have the Afghanistan rundown, but let's do the rap, which I think is the best. This is on NPR.

1:37:42 Okay, hold on a second. This is actually three clips. I got Taliban rap, NPR, and then two, and then their little connection to China, which is going to become a huge humiliation for China, I think, if people get a clue. But let's start with Taliban rap. In recent days, the Taliban have captured huge chunks of territory in Afghanistan, including many of the country's largest and most important cities. President Biden issued a statement reaffirming his decision for a U.S. withdrawal and explaining the steps he has taken. But the situation is dire. The UN estimates that since May, nearly a quarter of a million people have been forced from their homes due to the conflict. And there are reports of Afghans fleeing to the capital, Kabul, desperate to find a way out of the country. The surge defied all predictions

1:38:40 And it's forcing all the key players to reassess as they try to figure out what could happen next. For a look at the possibilities, we're joined by NPR National Security Correspondent Greg Myrie. Hi, Greg. Hi, Don. Hi, Don. Can you bring us up to speed on what's happening today? The Taliban claimed another big prize on the battlefield today. They seized the important northern city of Mazar-e-Sharif. This was one of the last big cities the government had. The Taliban now control virtually all the northern, southern and western parts of Afghanistan. The Associated Press is reporting the Taliban appear to be within 10 miles of Kabul.

1:39:21 President Ashraf Ghani just has the capital in some other parts of eastern Afghanistan. He gave a recorded speech that was televised. He said he would prevent further instability. Hard to imagine that that would reassure anyone. There's no sign that his government is capable of stopping this Taliban surge. So given that, what options does the government have? They are shrinking by the day. can rally and put up a fight to defend Kabul. They do have resources, but it's really not clear that they have the will. They could try to negotiate with the Taliban, but power sharing isn't realistic right now. It would be more perhaps about the terms of surrender, which has happened in other cities in recent days. And a third possibility is just a total collapse, that the government and the troops will simply flee.

1:40:14 What I, you know, the thing I don't understand, but I mean you maybe get to it. Why is the military-industrial complex allowing this pullout? Is this the non-pullout? Is that exactly what is going on here? My thinking is they're not gonna pull out at all, right? But they're gonna have a lot of explaining to do. The Pentagon has got to have a lot of explaining to do because they wouldn't let anyone leave. And if you remember, I don't know if you remember this, but this is about Two or three years ago, we played a bunch of clips. Somebody went and did an investigation on our involvement in Afghanistan. And they went in there with a tape recorder and they recorded all these generals and their opinions. And this was just before Trump got elected is when this took place. And it was played during the Trump administration. That's when General Flynn was the one who kind of blew the whistle on this whole thing being a giant sparse. Like a big money suck.

1:41:11 Yeah, it was a big farce and he was the only general who came out and said so. And that put a target on his back. Well, and didn't it come out, that was around the Afghanistan papers. Yes, that's right. That's what it was. The Afghanistan papers. Right, right, right. Which was showed just trillions of dollars going everywhere. Yeah. Just dumb. It was a farce, a scam, and it was bad news. And Flynn was the only one who said it, and it was recorded saying it, and that put a target on his back and you saw what happened to him. Yep. But so there is, and I believe there was a direct connection between what Flynn had to say about Afghanistan and what happened to Flynn. He wasn't on board. He wasn't a team player. No, he was embarrassing everybody. Yeah, you're not a team player? Yeah, you know, here's what happens to you. And so he ended up getting screwed over and

1:42:01 But this whole thing is a fiasco from the get-go. It was a fiasco during the... it was fiasco and Bush didn't go... Bush didn't follow the lead of his dad of doing something quick and easy, get in and get out. I mean that old man at least knew that much. He got in and stayed in and then he got stuck in there and then so Obama ran it for presidency, if you remember, he'll take it to the bank as a matter of fact that he's gonna get out. Yep. He never got out. So Obama was in for eight years with Biden and then never got out. So what was that all about? So then Trump gets this, we're getting out. And then they wouldn't let him get out. So he didn't get out either. And so Biden now gets us out and Biden's already, I don't have a clip, but there was a bunch of them there, you can hear him. Biden's blaming Trump. So it's all Trump's fault. Well, you know, the historical Biden clip is the one that's so funny though.

1:42:52 And you have it. Yeah, I think I do actually. President Biden tonight publicly silent about the Taliban's accelerating takeover of Afghanistan, privately consulting with his secretaries of state and defense, as well as his national security advisor. The rapidly deteriorating situation following the president's decision to withdraw US troops from a war he believes has lasted too long and cost too many lives, sparking fierce criticism. Well, it's a disgrace and it's a national humiliation. This didn't have to be this way. The president's aides today standing by his comments from just 72 hours ago. We're going to continue to keep our commitment, but I do not regret my decision.

1:43:32 But now many are questioning the execution of that plan. He owns this now completely. It isn't Donald Trump's Afghan policy, it's Joe Biden's. The rush to remove Americans now drawing comparisons to the chaotic U.S. evacuation from Vietnam more than 45 years ago, despite the president's promise otherwise. There's going to be no circumstance where you see people being lifted off the roof of a embassy in the of the United States from Afghanistan. Still for those who served and sacrificed disbelief and sadness. I'm really upset. I'm angry with with what's going on right now. Retired Army Ranger Tom Amento. So what I'd like to ask you before we continue is that moment the

1:44:19 the withdrawal, was it like Saigon and was that the embassy with the helicopter on top? Oh, Saigon, yeah. You were older than I was then, so what was that like? Was it a feeling of defeat? Was it similar to now? Was it the same like, what the hell did we do? You know, I don't think that the American public ever saw any of these things as defeat. I believe, because I think I can reflect this, I think the American public saw these things as fiascos. They never went into the war seriously. They were always police actions. And we got rousted because we just didn't have, our heart wasn't in it. If you really, if our heart was in it, we would have dropped A-bombs on these people. But it was just like a fiasco. The same thing with the Korean War, a fiasco. This was a fiasco. This is a fiasco. Iraq was a, these are fiascos run by our military. And intelligence. And intelligence. And intelligence.

1:45:18 and our intelligence agency squandering money, maybe doing us a favor, we don't know, because they always like to say, well, if you only knew what was really going on, you'd be so happy. You'd be pooping. You'd be happy and you'd be saying, wow, you guys are the best. But instead, there's a lot of money squandered, and I probably would be happy if someone would finally somehow audit the Pentagon and see where this money is going. It's not gonna happen. We had the Afghanistan papers. No one even really investigated that. No. At least not publicly, not with repercussions. It's just a bunch of corruption as far as I can tell, unless somebody proves me wrong.

1:46:06 So let's go on to clip two of the rundown. Reflecting on these fast moving events, President Biden put out a statement earlier today detailing the steps that he's taking. But what sort of recalculations is he making? Yeah, he summarized a lot of what he's done and talked about working with his national security team to bring this military mission to an end. One thing that really caught our eye, he said that 5,000 troops will be in Afghanistan for an orderly and safe withdrawal. Now, this number is even higher than the Pentagon has been saying in the past couple days. And we now understand that the president's talking about 4,000 new troops that are going to Kabul, plus 1,000 that are already there.

1:46:50 Some of these new troops have been arriving and should mostly or all be in place by the end of the weekend. They'll be at the Kabul airport to secure the departure of US diplomats and Afghans who have worked with the US. Now, he says this will all be completed by the end of the month, President Biden that is, but that really feels like a long way off right now and the U.S. plans have already changed. There was this plan to keep a sizable embassy operation going to support the Afghan government. But NPR obtained an embassy memo yesterday that talked about emergency preparations for leaving. It called for destroying sensitive documents and desktop computers. The Biden administration really needs a plan now for a possible Taliban takeover. Oh man. It's 5,000 troops. Is that a reinsertion?

1:47:45 They're gonna say it's not, I don't know whether it is or not. But they're gonna say it's just the tip. The Japanese are also pulling all their people out of their embassies, which is only reported on the Japanese news, but I guess everyone's leaving except the Chinese, which I have the next clip on. And I want to mention that because of the nature of the TV news talk shows and the corporate media, especially the stuff on television, because I was watching Meet the Press and the other couple morning shows this morning I didn't clip them. I may clip them for the next show. They have a bunch of intelligence agency stooges as we know and military

1:48:26 stooges that are now commentators and they just own the place. I have one, I have a clip in a minute when you're... Good, because the one I heard today that was a beauty, was I don't understand why we're leaving it stupid. We have, they say because of lost American lives? Are you kidding me? We're ha... and here's the meme. We had more deaths today by COVID than all last year in Afghanistan. You want to hear... One day more Americans died of COVID. You want to hear my spook clip? Yeah, here the spook clip before I go to China. Well, it's CBS So what kind of spook do we get? We get top spooks. Yeah top spooks CIA broadcast system Now when you want a pundit when you want a pundit you can't have Brennan he's NBC

1:49:13 CBS has Mike Morrell, of course. Oh yeah, he's a classic. Mike Morrell. The Taliban seems to be retaking Afghanistan faster than anyone predicted. How are they able to do it? Without the US military there, the capabilities of the Afghan security forces to fight has been significantly degraded. But the bigger issue is the willingness to fight evaporated. How, just once we leave, how is their ability degraded? What was the mechanism? I'm glad you asked. I will tell you my version and Mike Morrell will then tell you his version. My version is I was in Iraq in 2003 with the Dutch Marines, the US Marines and forces were in charge, but we went around to all different bases all across southern Iraq, in the middle of Iraq, in Samoa province, and I saw many of the Iraqi forces being trained by the Allied forces, mainly Americans, but there were also some Dutch and I think maybe a couple French or Japanese even, doesn't matter.

1:50:16 I saw the training, it was ridiculous. These guys, they don't know what they're doing, they're dumb, they don't understand, no one understands each other. They say about face, half turns left, half turns right, the other half is like doesn't know what's going on. There was never any training and it was all under the wink wink nudge nudge. Yeah, we know but you know It's like and the mud is really you go to train them But while the troops were being trained by the local training officer in the back in the tent They're drinking their tea, which is the you know, tons of mint jammed into a glass with hot water sitting around counting out the piles of money Because that it was always a money drop You know stacks stacks and stacks racks and stacks of cash

1:51:01 So for this village and for that tribe, for that tribe. So all of this training was really just a money drop. That's all I ever saw. It was despicable. So I cannot imagine that Afghanistan was any different. Mike Morrell gives his version of why. The Taliban seems to be retaking Afghanistan faster than anyone predicted. How are they able to do it? Without the U.S. military there, the capabilities of the Afghan security forces to fight has been significantly degraded. But the bigger issue is the willingness to fight evaporated when President Biden made the announcement that we were leaving. After 20 years of work from the US, hundreds of billions of dollars, more than 2,000 American lives, why are the folks that we allied with and trained walking off the job? Because the will to fight.

1:51:50 is more important than the capability and because the Afghan government is one of the most corrupt in the world. Now we have 3,000 troops going back in, the lead elements are already there on the ground. What concerns you most tonight about their safety? Suicide attacks from the Taliban and the main issue there is will the Taliban see the new troops coming in not as there to protect the people being evacuated, but as the first set of troops in a reinvasion of the country. That's a real danger. And then the other concern that I have is there are many Afghan security forces who are deeply angry at the United States. And a green on blue attack, where a member of the Afghan security force takes out their weapon and starts killing Americans is not something we can, is something we have to focus on.

1:52:42 Oh, oh, oh, did you hear what he was gonna say is not something we can tolerate? But let's hear it again. And starts killing Americans is not something we can... is something we have to focus on. Has the Taliban won this war? Absolutely. Mike Morrell, thank you very much. You're welcome. So Mike Morrell feels clearly this is probably not a good idea. We need five. Sorry, he's part of the contingent coming out of the Pentagon and the Intel agencies that believes we should just be there forever. Like, and I can I could probably get get on board with that thinking by saying stuff like this. Hey, we've had troops, we still have troops, we have more troops in Germany.

1:53:26 than we had in Afghanistan. We have more troops right now, we have more troops in South Korea. Trump did close a lot of the German bases. We got more troops in South Korea than we had in Afghanistan. So what What is the point of leaving? Well, there's another reason why we can't leave and Mike Morrell would know personally because his agency is a part of the big annual report that came out. It's always coincidental the timing of these reports and these things that are happening. This is the United Nations Office of Drug and Crime annual opium report.

1:54:02 The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime released together with the National Statistical Office of Afghanistan, NSIA, the results of the 2020 Opium Survey in Afghanistan. Despite the challenge of the COVID pandemic in 2020, this is a demonstration on how... Is that Zsa Zsa Gabor? No, no, it's actually... I'm sorry. I think she's... I'm not sure what nationality she is, but listen to her glee about the opium report. Despite the challenge of the COVID pandemic in 2020, this is a demonstration on how NSIA together with UNODC, we were able to find innovative solutions and to overcome the challenges and still present to the international community the results of the survey.

1:54:53 showing a 37% increase in opium cultivation and a production of opium of around 6,300 metric tons. It is in the spirit of respecting the impartiality of official statistics and producing high quality statistics that we share with NSAE we present together the results of the 2020 Opium Survey. I mean it's like she's doing the Eurovision Song Contest. It's up 37 percent, 63,000 metric tons. That's a lot. This is good. Everybody, we're very proud to present the numbers to you despite COVID. We're so happy. We did get a letter from one of our producers talking about how they had

1:55:39 Somebody, one of the family members, somebody, this is not a surprise in a NOAA agenda show that they were bitching about being over there and guarding the poppy fields. But the farmers were the ones that are the most irked because according to him, Before we arrived, the poppies were still growing and the Taliban would just steal them, steal the crops. They wouldn't pay the farmers. We paid the farmers. They get paid by us. They don't get paid by the Taliban. Right, right. So there's a problem. But if you remember the propaganda before this whole war began is the Taliban were supposedly burning down the poppy fields because they hated the idea of poppies. But I have to re-evaluate that thinking they only burned down the poppy fields for the farmers who wouldn't comply.

1:56:23 Uh, so there's something, these guys are bad news. But let's play what's happening, what the Chinese are doing, so I get my last clip. It was quite the photo op. China's foreign minister, Wang Yi, wearing a grey suit and stern face, posing with nearly a dozen senior members of the Taliban, including its chief negotiator and top political leader, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar. This very public, very sort of overt engagement is definitely a first. Medea Abzal is with the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. Although there have been informal backroom talks between the Chinese and the Taliban over the years, Afzal says this is the first time they were held so openly, which she says is a boon for the militant group. Basically, you know, it was maybe the most significant stage that Baradar has received, the Taliban has received in terms of

1:57:16 international legitimacy in terms of sort of how the Chinese foreign minister interacted, even the things that were said. Foreign Minister Wang Yi called the Taliban a pivotal military and political force and urged them to hold high the banner of peace talks. All this while militants are capturing territory in Afghanistan and remain disengaged from the peace talks. Roger Baker is with Stratfor Rain, a risk intelligence company, and has been monitoring Afghanistan for decades. He says China doesn't trust the Taliban, but is hedging its bets. They still claim they don't pick sides, so they'll work with whoever claims to be the government of Afghanistan, so long as it keeps their interests stable. Baker says China's overriding concern in Afghanistan is security.

1:58:05 in part to help protect its economic and investment interests in the region, including a massive infrastructure program known as the Belt and Road Initiative. Wait a minute, so the Chinese are really raring to go without US protection? They're ready to go in and they think the Russians couldn't do it, the Americans couldn't do it, China can do it? Well, China's not fighting them. No, no, but they want to rape them of their minerals and their poppies. Mostly minerals. The poppies I'm sure are part of the deal. But the poppy thing again, there's another little aspect to this which keeps being thrown in my face, which is

1:58:49 Why do we care about the poppies anymore with fentanyl in play, which is a cheaper alternative to heroin and it does it pretty much has the same effect. It's the, you know, artificial heroin is what it amounts to. So maybe that's what the war is. We've got the CIA going, hey, hey, hey, hey, this is our pipeline. We're still the OG poppy heroin guys. And meanwhile, back in Washington, everyone's like, yo, bro, fent is where it's at. We're getting out. We got the fentanyl. Something's up. And the Chinese, so the Chinese wouldn't be interested in the heroin because the Chinese are the source of the fentanyl. I mean, it comes up to this country through Mexico, but the Chinese are the ones who produce most of it. But I still can't believe that. And in fact, some we were just OK. I just want to say this. So we on the record, there's missing information. Yes.

1:59:45 But to me, just analyzing what is happening, there was a promise, this is the continuation of the Obama promise, this is Biden now. Here's what I'm really worried about. I'm worried about another, some kind of event, some kind of terrorism, because even though the story The lead of the story focuses on something else, what's really in the details of what the Department of Homeland Security put out the other day that is quite interesting. So I'll just play these two quick clips of what DHS published. A new terror alert has been issued by Homeland Security tonight. Pete Williams is here. Pete, what do we know about this?

2:00:30 Well, DHS says this new terrorism advisory is not based on any actual threats or plots, but it says there's a rise in anti-government rhetoric. Some of it is opposition to COVID public health rules like mask and vaccine measures. Some calls for violent action are based on claims of election fraud or a belief that Donald Trump can be reinstated. Boy, do you remember me telling you about that? Oh yeah. About the reinstatement? I mean, I wasn't even reporting on it. These yahoos are using it. And DHS says the coming 20th anniversary of the 9-11 attacks and religious holidays later this year could be catalysts for violence. The last terror advisory was issued in May. It expired today. This new one says domestic extremism remains a threat priority, Lester.

2:01:12 Alright, so I'll leave the domestic extremism for a moment because I think that's the red herring. If I look at the actual summary that DHS sent out, Actually, I'll read this because the opening paragraph is really what matters. The Secretary of Homeland Security has issued a new National Terrorism Advisory System bulletin regarding the current heightened threat environment across the United States. The homeland continues to face a diverse and challenging threat environment leading up to and following the 20th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks. As well, religious holidays, we assess, could serve as a catalyst for acts of targeted violence.

2:01:51 These threats include those posed by domestic terrorists, individuals and groups engaged in grievance-based violence. and those inspired or motivated by foreign terrorists and other malign foreign influences. These actors are increasingly exploiting online forums and podcasts to influence... kidding... online forums to influence and spread violent extremist narratives and promote violent activity. Such threats are also exacerbated by impacts of the ongoing global pandemic, including grievances over public health safety measures and perceived government restrictions.

2:02:28 So, they lead here on NBC with, oh, domestic terror, domestic terror, anti-government, but also September 11th. And the actual lead that Homeland Security puts out is about September 11th. And this was the giveaway to me further in this memo. Additionally, leading up to the anniversary of the 9-11 attacks, Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula recently released its first English-language copy of Inspire magazine in over four years, which demonstrates that foreign terrorist organizations continue efforts to inspire U.S.-based individuals susceptible to violent extremist influences.

2:03:17 This is another rerun of the script. They brought out the old Adobe Quark publishing template. They got Inspire magazine. They're gonna be publishing PDFs again. Yeah, yeah, that's where the pressure cooker bomb came from. Pressure cooker bomb. Oh, yeah, so they're just we didn't see any of this in four years of Trump zero Yeah, no zero years of Trump There was none of this now all of a sudden it's back and the magazines back the magazine could have been back during Trump No, because the magazine is not produced by anybody but somebody in our government

2:03:56 Now let's listen to how the mainstream is playing it because the mainstream has their own agenda. The M5M, what they're really interested in is they're interested in the domestic side of it. So they kind of like that. Domestic is good. But they're lying. I mean this CBS 20 seconds is a lie. A Homeland Security issued a national terrorism alert warning that violent extremists could take advantage of the easing of pandemic restrictions to conduct attacks. Now this updates the alert issued... That is literally a lie! The document itself says the opposite! It says because of tightening government measures and COVID measures. Not easing! So I don't know what... She's a liar. She's a terrible person. Must be. Must be. But ABC, I think they really took the cake with this story because if we're going to have any kind of

2:04:53 If we're going to create any kind of visual for you about who these crazy people are, this story does it. him believe his two-year-old son and 10-month-old daughter were turning into monsters. The suspect, 40-year-old Matthew Taylor Coleman, and his wife owned a surf school in Santa Barbara. The pictures on their website show a happy family. But on Saturday, Coleman's wife reported her husband and children missing.

2:05:33 According to a federal criminal complaint, she told police the family was planning a trip. But then her husband took the kids, not telling her where he was going. Two days later, officials say a ranch worker in Mexico found the bodies of the children near Mexico's Baja California coast. Officials say Coleman confessed. and claimed he's enlightened by QAnon and Illuminati conspiracy theories, which made him believe his wife had passed her serpent DNA to their children. An apparent reference to the so-called lizard people theory, which claims reptilian aliens have taken over powerful positions in US politics, banking and entertainment. The same theory allegedly inspired a man to set off a bomb in Nashville last Christmas, injuring eight people and damaging dozens of buildings.

2:06:24 As for Coleman, authorities released this surveillance camera footage showing him checking into a hotel with his kids, then leaving without them. He was arrested trying to re-enter the U.S. I mean, seriously? They got it down though, man. They got it down. They got it down. The lizard people. It's a good bit. The lizard people. But why is the guy going to Mexico to begin with? And what is the deal with this David Icke thing? Well, I mean, I think we all agree that there's lizard people, but I don't know if passing on your lizard seed to your children... They usually pay well.

2:07:08 Anyway, the Department of Homeland Security will be responding by evaluating calls for violence, including online activity associated with the spread of disinformation, conspiracy theories, and false narratives by known or suspected threat actors and provide updated information as necessary. So a conspiracy theory is a theory and you're not allowed to have them. And they're going to be calling us. They'll be calling me. I mean, how long could it last until someone says, oh, you should call that guy? Yeah. Yeah, I'm the buzzkill. I'm not a conspiracy theorist at all. I just call you out for being one. Yeah, so maybe I won't get a call. No, they'll call me and they'll say, well, you have Adam's phone number. And you'll give it to them gladly. Oh, for sure, yeah. Right away. Right here. Right away. Or actually, well, I'll do whatever. You know, just email the guy.

2:08:06 Well, we understand he doesn't answer his email. No. Oh yeah, I've heard that he doesn't answer his emails. Oh, well, I don't know. I don't really have his number. I actually don't. Well, I have your cell. That's true. Your old, old, old cell number which I message you with. Yeah, I can give him that. I haven't seen this front line, but apparently a new front line documentary details the Liberty City 7. If you recall, that was the guys who were going to bring down Sears Tower after 9-11. Oh yeah. I haven't seen it either, but I'm sure it's a gem. Well, they exposed the FBI as it being the six-week cycle. The FBI completely set up these schmucks. Yeah, dummies. It was the most high-profile case right after 9-11. When are we going to learn?

2:08:59 Well, never. That's why you have to continuously listen to this show. Yes. The show is like, we've become the addiction. I'm telling you, it's crazy. And then of all the things that happens is we get an earthquake in Haiti. Oh yes, I think I have a clip for this. Could it be any more like 2010? 2012 actually. No, 10 years ago, 9 years ago. Yeah, everything is repeating. This is fun to watch. Okay, you got a couple off-the-wall clips. Do you have a Haiti clip? I thought I did, but I don't see it. Well, I guess we should just note that the Biden administration is of course going to organize help. You're going to organize a concert? Oh no, that's coming. That's coming.

2:09:59 We'll have probably a whole bunch of ex-presidents, you know, setting up a foundation. I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water. Just send your cash. Just send your cash for Haiti. We'll take care of it. Don't worry. Clinton Foundation, maybe. Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, possibly. But you know who the Biden administration has appointed to lead this effort from the USAID? I'm game. Samantha Power. Oh yes, I did see she's been on. She's got that hang dog, oh god I feel so bad about everything. Life is terrible look on her face constantly. She's depressing to look at.

2:10:43 Yeah, I saw her in a press conference and yeah, she's got something to do with something. I don't know. I can't stand her. You know, our producers who track all the earthquakes, man, if you were to look at them and just look at the 7.2s, anything over 7.0, We've had five in two weeks and it's North Pole, South Pole. It's basically if you look at the globe of the flat Earth on the top would be you have a big epicenter, the bottom and then on each of the sides it's like the whole Earth is ready for some... there's a lot of tectonic shift going on. Seems like that's not good. Okay, here's news that's not being covered in the United States.

2:11:27 This is the new Canadian elections coming because... I bet we both have the same clips. Okay, yeah, go ahead. Mine came from CTV. I don't remember where mine came from. Okay, we'll play. Well, Robin, on Sunday morning, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will walk across the grounds at... Listen to my clip. Well, Robin, on Sunday morning, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau... That's why there's two of us. Well, Robin, on Sunday morning, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will walk across the grounds at Rideau Hall to ask Mary Simon, the new governor general, to dissolve Parliament, triggering the 2021 federal election. Constitutional experts say that the governor general will grant Trudeau's request. That's because there has not been an election in recent months and no other party is trying to form government.

2:12:17 The campaign will be 36 days, the shortest time allowed under federal law. That puts election day on Monday, September 20th. And while this is a snap election, it's hardly a surprise. The prime minister had openly stated 2021 would be an election year even while denying that it would be his party that would trigger Canadians going to the polls. The Prime Minister's decision to launch a campaign means he has decided now is the Liberals' best chance of getting a majority. Justin Trudeau had to run a political calculation here. GoNow and risk voters wrath for triggering an election in a fourth wave and when COVID-19 numbers are growing, but the Liberals have good and not great numbers, or wait and potentially lose control of the narrative, handing timing of the election to the opposition and running the risk of the public mood and economy souring.

2:13:10 The Liberals will likely frame this campaign as needing to seek a mandate from Canadians to spend more money and manage the challenges that they will argue were unforeseen in a pre-pandemic world. The only thing I've never understood about this system is this. What are the... We have every two years, we have a midterm, every four years we have a general election. How does it work with the UK, with the England-related countries, with these snap elections? I don't understand the mechanism. How does this happen? Well, the ruling government can call an election pretty much any time they want. But why would you call an election if you're in power?

2:13:52 Because you think this happened to if you remember this happened to the British when Cameron was running things and he did a or no is what's her name the Horrible woman that was the Prime Minister. She called an election thinking that reason Theresa May, the reason you do it is because you're so overconfident that you think you're going to get more people on your side and you're going to have such a dominant, you're going to be so dominant in the House and whatever. Understood, understood. But is there a term limit so you have to call an election within a certain amount of years? I don't know that part. That's what confuses me. It's like if you got everything anyway then

2:14:36 Well, they think they can get more. It's greed. I understand that part. Yes, I understand that part. It's stupid. Well, unless you've got everything set up right, which I presume is why this is happening. Well, whatever the case, we have an election coming up in September and we'll see. It could change everything. If the Canadians have any sense, although after listening to your hypnotic guy talking about mass hysteria, I don't think the Canadians have a prayer. They're all going, okay, yes, we love this idiot. Trudeau is an idiot. He just, and he annoys me more than any, they had a lot of bad prime ministers, but he's just a creep. He's a creep. He's a true technocrat. He's perfect for the job. He's an animatron. So they're going to probably, you know, yay for him. Hopefully they won't, but they, the way things are going, I don't see any, of course, then again, Theresa May made a mistake too.

2:15:30 Anyway, here's part two of that because it does have some information. Is there any sense Mercedes that what the liberals will focus on and is everyone on board in that party with calling an election? So while we haven't seen the Liberal platform, we can take a few things that we know from recent spending announcements, the spring budget and the decision to go to an election now. Child care and social programs will likely feature prominently, but the ballot box question the Liberals want is who Canadians trust to govern through the pandemic and an endorsement for their pandemic recovery plans. Typically, going to the polls during a time of crisis favours the incumbent. But some senior Liberals are worried about potential voter blowback. This will be a hard-fought election no matter what, Robin, with about a dozen key ridings where only one to two points could decide racists. Getting out the vote will matter, but starting on Sunday, the Prime Minister will have to answer the question of why this is in Canadians' interests and not just the Liberal Party's.

2:16:34 That's the key. I think I have a piece of information that is from this same piece. that tells us why this is happening right now. Experts say mail-in ballots may become the safest and most popular option. Elections Canada anticipates 5 million people will vote this way versus just 54,000 in 2019. We may not know the final results of the election on election night. Oh, where have we heard that before? Yeah, this is the... Somebody's got a clue. Yeah.

2:17:09 They said, look what we did here in the United States. We got this idiot Joe Biden to be president. What do you think we can do for you guys? A small or easier to control mail-in ballots, which everyone knows is a bad idea, but okay. Yeah, let's do that. No, yeah, the COVID's still going on. Let's keep people in their house and do mail-in ballots. That would be great. Interesting. It's kind of like a Bobby's World voice you got there. Yeah, you have the ability to do that. Well, that's a voice I can do. I can do this voice when I have to. Let's break up the cage. All right. Let me see. By the way, just before you go on to that, I do have a... Turkey's got a big flood. Yeah. And it's being covered and there's a bunch of floods in Europe. Nobody except NHK is covering the fact that Japan is pretty much underwater.

2:16:34 That's the key. I think I have a piece of information that is from this same piece. that tells us why this is happening right now. Experts say mail-in ballots may become the safest and most popular option. Elections Canada anticipates 5 million people will vote this way versus just 54,000 in 2019. We may not know the final results of the election on election night. Oh, where have we heard that before? Yeah, this is the... Somebody's got a clue. Yeah.

2:17:09 They said, look what we did here in the United States. We got this idiot Joe Biden to be president. What do you think we can do for you guys? A small or easier to control mail-in ballots, which everyone knows is a bad idea, but okay. Yeah, let's do that. No, yeah, the COVID's still going on. Let's keep people in their house and do mail-in ballots. That would be great. Interesting. It's kind of like a Bobby's World voice you got there. Yeah, you have the ability to do that. Well, that's a voice I can do. I can do this voice when I have to. Let's break up the cage. All right. Let me see. By the way, just before you go on to that, I do have a... Turkey's got a big flood. Yeah. And it's being covered and there's a bunch of floods in Europe. Nobody except NHK is covering the fact that Japan is pretty much underwater.

2:18:10 And I have seen no, no media coverage of this flood in Japan. Except on NHK. Well, no one's allowed in, so why would they let anything out? That's weird. You can play this Turkey clip if you want to hear it. In Turkey, the death toll from floods and mudslides along the country's borders... Oh, wait, stop. Before you play it, let me set it up a little better. It's like, this is NPR, modern NPR. Yeah. We, you know, this is what Amy Goodman's been trying to do forever and NPR is now just doing it. So they give us a little report which could end with the report, here's what happened, but no, no, no, no, no. And when you listen to the end, you'll see what I'm talking about. In Turkey, the death toll from floods and mudslides along the country's Black Sea coast has climbed to at least 55. Torrential rains Wednesday caused flooding that demolished homes, damaged at least five bridges, and swept away cars and left numerous roads unpassable.

2:19:03 The Turkish disaster agency says eight people remain hospitalized. Rescue teams are working to locate those listed as missing. Thousands were evacuated, some by airlift off their roofs. This says climate change leads to more extreme weather events as the world warms because of the burning of coal, oil and natural gas. This is curious to me that you're not, I mean yes it's being covered with that angle but But they could do so much more. I mean, we have floods in China. They could do a lot, but they're really not using it for the climate change angle as much as I think they could be. I don't know what it... I kind of agree with you. They... It seems half-hearted, you know? What's going on in Japan is unbelievable compared to Turkey.

2:19:50 And yeah, they could, but they just do this and they get the little bit at the end about... And by the way, these floods are caused by burning fossil fuel. Nice try. You know what the problem is probably? There's no real money behind it at the moment. There's no real advertiser. There's no push. You know, the big oil and gas companies... There's no Pfizer of climate change. Thank you. Well, that's maybe why they're trying to connect it, you know, connect it to COVID and Maybe we'll get some some Pfizer bucks in there some Pfizer fun coupons to play with I don't know Yeah, I don't know three trips, but but this is this is all political and there's a lot of business going on and The people be damned they're in a hypnotic state. Let him go. You can't tell them anything different Anyway, remember how weird it was when people had to take off their masks the next day and

2:20:44 I mean that freaked him out. I think that was that that was part of some kind of psychological operation. Watch this. Now tell him to do this. Now tell him to go back. Oh yeah, it's good. And then slip in all kinds of information about red states and Republicans and Trump returning. I mean, we may have walking time bomb zombies around soon. Don't know. Just their heads are filled with hate and not even hate, fear. I have to say it correctly. Fear of going back and these people that would cause it. So must eliminate those people. Gotta be careful people with what you're doing. Which is why I think they're trying to back it off. Yeah. Oh, maybe they've noticed it. But the people who are on TV doing that, they're all in too. They're hyper-focused.

2:21:32 I love it. All right, I have two Cuomo clips since this is kind of an interesting thing that's taken place and there's a little hidden gem in the second one. This is, oh yes, he did an exit interview with, I think, was it Vanity Fair? I think, you know, that's what you do. I'm exiting, I'm gonna do my big one exit interview. This morning, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is speaking out for the first time since announcing his resignation. In an interview with New York Magazine, Cuomo says, It is a stunning fall from grace after a state attorney general's report found sexual harassment allegations against him credible. But with just days to go before leaving office, Cuomo remains defiant, telling the magazine he would win any impeachment case, saying he would have made the state legislature look like a ship of fools. But he didn't want to put the state through that ordeal, adding, I feel good. I'm not a martyr. It's just I saw the options. Option A. Option B. Okay, so.

2:22:35 I would have won if I hadn't quit the fight. I would have won, should have seen the other guy. So that's his side of the story. And after this whole thing happened, his secretary resigned quietly. She's the one that covered up the data for the dead citizens, the elderly, thousands, maybe 10, 15,000, we may never know. That investigation in New York and in Michigan and in Washington State were all stopped. Department of Justice stopped those investigations, just stopped. Yeah, and now when it comes to this impeachment, are we going to have any follow-up? Will there be any investigation? Three days after New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced his resignation over sexual harassment allegations, state assembly leaders said they will suspend their investigation. They concluded they did not have the authority to impeach Cuomo once he leaves office. Alright, done. No investigation. That's it. It's done. People. People. When do we get a clue? I don't care.

2:23:39 That's it get him out of the way. He'll get a Netflix special in five years. He'll be fine. I get a contract with net Yes, it'll be fine. Yeah, well speaking of speaking of douchebag elites I Because it was Martin short and Steve Martin who are on the Bill Maher show over What's it called overtime? No, whatever Bill Marshall on HBO. I I tuned in. I kind of like those two guys and I wanted to see where their heads were at. But it was the opening monologue that was quite surprising, the way Bill Maher handled the Obama let them eat cake episode, which man, everyone was all over Barack Obama. New York Times wrote an opinion piece about it being, he's being Marie Antoinette-ish.

2:24:32 So it's kind of tough when you're Barack Obama now, you're getting slammed by your own paper, you know, the one that brought you to victory, the New York Times, and there's a lot of anger about the visuals. And Bill Maher, well, I don't know if he was invited or not, but his response is interesting. The other scandal that the Democrats are facing, even though I don't think it's a scandal at all, but Obama had a big birthday party. Yes, because he's successful and he's 60. This is America. We don't want to punish success, do we? No, we don't. Anyway, but yes, it's true. In the pandemic, with everything going on, the optics were terrible. And they should have known that. The DJ they hired was named Tone Deaf.

2:25:22 But and it was whoa what a talk about an a-list crowd. Oh my gosh Jay-z and Beyonce Spielberg Don Cheadle Tom Hanks Don Bradley Cooper John legend this was a swanky party a lot of them were tipping the valet in Bitcoin It's just like he really he really protected Obama on that one yeah, it surprises me to me too Sometimes I really think, oh man, you had the right weed and sometimes like, man, you gotta lay off that stuff. That can be really weird. Very weird. Yeah, that event, which we didn't cover on our show because it was like, yeah, who cares? Incidental. I did get some clips. These are all from late July, but

2:26:15 I had to pick him up because there's a bunch of rants in here against Texas. Okay, now that you've worn me down for two and a half hours, you're going to try and get me with your rant on Texas? Well, no, I won't be able to do a very good job of it, but this is Gavin Newsom. Oh boy. At a press conference, I said this to Mimi and she comes in and she says, He's drunk and I didn't even think of it. Really? But Newsom is drunk as a skunk doing a press conference. Oh, I've seen this one. Yes, I think she's right. Yeah, I didn't think about it. I don't know why I didn't think about it, but he's sitting there and he's like a mean drunk and he's sitting there with an angry look on his face. The visuals are fabulous of this guy with this look on his face. And here's just a nine second clip of how it goes. This is Newsom homegrown team. This is how angry he is. I'm sorry, I had the other one. We'll get to that. Yeah, here we go. We're number one in all those categories.

2:27:14 It'd be damn nice if our homegrown team start focusing on what's right. Do you, I mean, is he a known drinker? Well, he owns part of a winery. He's partners with the guy who owns the Balboa Cafe and some other winery. I think he's a big owner of one of the big wineries up in the Napa Valley, a part owner. I think Plump Jack might be it. And he is, yeah, I think he is a big drinker. He's a San Franciscan, you know. Yeah, of course he is. San Francisco politicians are all a bunch of drunks. Okay. I was wondering. Okay. Yeah, good. Thanks. Got it. Yeah. So I don't see him being any different.

2:27:54 But I never thought about it because you just don't think about it. Here he is with his rant number one and he keeps mentioning Florida and Texas as though it's like some competition. Governor, California has the nation's highest housing costs, highest gasoline prices, and highest utilities. Wage growth has been spectacular in the Silicon Valley, but not so much for areas along the coast and in some inland areas. In a very real sense, the California dream is more like a mirage for people grinding it out day after day. How do you make the case that you, as governor, can deliver the California dream to all Californians? Well, let's talk about what we all saw number one in Stephanie. And guys, forgive me, I know I'm a little pointed today, but I've been taking a lot from a few folks for a lot of months. So it's nice to be able to express myself too. I know with deep pride in this state,

2:28:48 As a Californian, not as a, I'm a future ex-governor. It could happen in a few weeks, it could happen in a few years. But I love this damn state. We're number one in job creation. 10th pole of the American economy. 559,000 jobs. Eat your heart out, Texas, Florida. We're number one in the Bloomberg Index of innovation and entrepreneurialism. We dominated yet again in venture capital. That's not just for fancy folks in Silicon Valley. Yeah, it is. That's pushing out the boundary discovery and opportunity. Space. Innovation that advantages each and every one of us. 53% in nation's venture capital. Over 100 damn IPOs. year to date in this state. 80 plus billion dollar budget surplus, 80 plus billion, not that 76 billion. We had another $3.9 billion in new cash. We have better health outcomes in Florida and Texas and better economic outcomes. Our economy contracted at a more modest rate than Florida and Texas. Wow, that guy is delusional.

2:29:45 Well, he goes on about something I didn't clip, but Mimi pointed out to me. His comment that we're number one in lumber, we're number 10 or something. We're not even close. But he's talking... And she just gave me the stats on it. It's like, no, we're not even trying hard in lumber compared to Oregon's number two and Washington's number one. It's like IPOs and venture capital, you know, that helps... I don't believe we had 110 IPOs so far this year. Where did that number come from? There's been 110 IPOs on Wall Street, not all from California. No, I believe that's true. Yeah. Well, he goes, just one more little minute of this and we have the... Excuse me, one more thing. I thought California had a deficit. Is this because they got COVID money that they now have a surplus? Cooking the books. Oh, sorry. Yes, I got you. 80 plus.

2:30:39 Did we have the highest personal income tax in the country because we can't bring our deficit down? Or we were broke and this, yeah, there's some cooking the books methodology used to make it sound like, oh no, we got plenty of money. No you don't. And he found another 3.9 billion in the couch. Yeah, and he was happy about that. Let's put yes it blasts Texas one more time. Oh good. Do you know Stephanie that middle-class families in Texas pay more taxes than middle-class California look that up. That's a fact. Oh Okay, I don't know why that doesn't get more damn attention. I care about working folks. That's a fact fact I'm also proud of the fact that this state has almost tripled its earning income tax credit to allow working families to keep more with their

2:31:29 I'm proud of the fact that three quarters of Tax filers are getting a tax rebate the largest in American history 12 billion dollars I'm proud of the fact small businesses are getting four billion dollars in grants not loans I'm proud of the fact we're paying a hundred percent of back rent 100% going back to April last year 100% through September 30th this year. Oh, yeah. Yeah, excuse me Where's the where's the landlords bailout? Where's that stick in representing your back utilities and backwater bills because you're right those bills have stacked up and I'm proud of the fact you didn't mention it, Stephanie, that most electric bills are lower in this state, even though our per unit costs are higher, which you're right to note. But you didn't mention the bills, which are lower because of our energy efficiency and our low-carbon green growth plants. So the kind of drunk that he is here is, I think, the, like, two-martini lunch where you're feeling good, yeah, I'm ready for this, I'm ready for the press, and then you go to your office and it's like, crap, I'm hammered. That could be.

2:32:29 But he got started and it was unstoppable bitching and moaning. Yeah, and he was sweaty. He was sweaty too. He was sweaty. Yeah, he was sweaty and he had that look on his face of a guy if you saw him at a bar you don't want to say even say hello. No. He just had that once again into a fight look. He was in a fight or flight mode and he was in fight. He wanted to fight and he was gonna call out these reporters who have made his life miserable for the last month. He pretty much, you know, he's digging his own grave here for his recall. But he's gonna have to stay off the sauce. Yeah. He did a good bit though. I have this, I don't even want to play it actually, but it's about his fire, the fires, all the fires, we got all these fires. He makes the point that it's the U.S. Forest Service, which he seems to be afraid of, of dissing. And I don't, I rarely use that word.

2:33:28 because they have a completely different fire suppression methodology and theory. And I saw the guys ahead of the US Forest Service recently talking about this. They don't seem to want to do controlled burns or if they do it's like really weird. Which is the biggest problem. They have a huge issue with the way they handle things and Newsom kindly called them out on it and this is kind of in a different part of the discussion if you want to play. Yeah, sure. But I thought it was entertaining. Tomorrow we'll be asking the Biden administration specific things. Access to more contracted DC tents.

2:34:07 access to more technology, including more permanent access to satellite technology through the Pentagon. We're asking for more Forest Service personnel, 5,000, I'm previewing it. We're asking that the U.S. Forest Service get paid more. But here's the final point, and here's the substantive answer to your question. And we're asking the U.S. Forest Service get more serious about fire suppression. And I say that because the Tamarack fire, which I visited yesterday with Governor Sisolak, where you guys let me out of the state for the first time in two years. And I was with Governor Sisolak, and we both expressed public frustration, not private, that this fire could have been suppressed before it became a 68,000 acre fire. It was under federal land, wasn't under his jurisdiction or mine. The US Forest Service has a different approach to suppression, and we're going to bring that up with the President tomorrow. That's a tough conversation to have.

2:34:58 I love those guys. We all love the US Forest Service. They've got a cultural difference of approach. And many of these larger scale fires, vast majority are initiated on federal forest lands. And then they become joint incident commands. And I get it. I'm tattooed with every damn one of them on my own. This is as close as I think Newsom will ever get to pulling a Britney. I mean, this is his kind of meltdown mode. Yeah, I'm a former governor no matter what, eventually. Now, how does this work? So you have the recall, when is that coming up, soon? September, about the same time as Trudeau gets... Okay, September, but the way it works I understand is they can recall him and then immediately vote for the person they want to replace him.

2:35:47 The ballot shows two boxes. One, do you want to recall the governor? And you vote yes or no. And then there's a... I already have the samples. And then the other one is a list of all these bozos that the Republican Party, which is in disarray in California and has been for decades, the Republican Party won't endorse anybody. Everyone's talking about Larry Elder, though. That's what everyone's talking about. Yeah, Larry Elder and then the guy who ran for governor last time, Cox, who's a real loser. And there's one guy, I can't remember his name, I'm going to have to dig it up. I think it's Hinkley or something like that. He's a state assemblyman. He's really sharp, but he's very young.

2:36:25 30, but he's like the sharpest of the group. And there's another guy who says, I'm going to repeal the state personal income tax, which I vote for him. Yeah, right away. And so how about a free pony and a free pony? So I think what's going to happen is they're not going to get enough people. And I don't know how that may be just to get some most votes becomes the next governor, at least until the next election. But I think Newsom has a good shot at getting voted out. I think it's a good, I think it's over 50% chance he's gonna get voted out and he keeps condemning everybody. They have ads, local ads, I should collect a couple. He can't get many Republicans to come and back him up, or Democrats, I'm sorry. He can't get many Democrats to come and back him up, except one. And she has all the, Pelosi has all the ads. No, no, he can't get Pelosi. Elizabeth Warren.

2:37:20 So you have Pocahontas on here, you know, you got to vote these damn Republicans. They're trying to screw this poor governor of yours. And so she's doing her thing with her ads. And I look at him going, well, how is this helping? Bill Maher is also doing it. He's also that's the stupidest thing we could ever do in California. Oh, yeah. Bill Maher is a big fan of Newsom. So, yes, stupid. And so all the Democrats are either in denial like Bill Maher. and they're not going to come out and vote. The real fear, and I think Newsom knows this, is that all his supporters, probably none of them, even because it's going to be mail-in, it's not even going to be to the polls, they're not even going to... and they've already screwed... by the way, here's a good thing, they've already screwed this up. They've sent two mailings out so far, and I thought both were ballots. The first one was just... the first mailing was official mailing. Oh, they're going to throw the third one out.

2:38:18 And I got it and I looked at it, oh the ballots came, I told you, I said, Jay the ballots came we gotta vote. And they stayed on the tail for a while so I opened it up, they weren't the ballots, they were saying a ballot's coming. Just a question. Then wait, then a second, the ballot did get, then another one comes, a big giant thing. I said, this is it, this is the ballot, we gotta vote. No, it wasn't a ballot, it was a sample ballot. I just want to understand. So the mail comes and you go, Jay, yay, the ballots are here. I mean, really? Well, I say I want to remind because I get the impression she probably wouldn't vote. Right. You're leading by example. Let's vote. You can vote in person. Just being a good good dad. Yeah. You should vote in person. It's the full experience. You should. But they don't have no. No, it's not an option. Oh, you can't. No, this is a mail in deal. Oh, OK. All right.

2:39:12 But they're gonna end up, mail in or not mail in, the big vote is you want to get rid of your governor. And it's not, Newsom keeps calling it the Republican recall. The problem is there's plenty of Democrats that don't like him either. All I know is two impeachments, four years of Trump, And these two guys resign. Gotta tell you something about statistics. 1373 starting with Gunter Weber in Odessa, Florida 150 and he has a note because it's got a call out.

Nice. There was a solid interest in making it a semi-regular event, so we've already tentatively planned the next meetup for a few months from now. We share our sincere thanks for your promotion of the meetup idea and helping us all make some local connections who might have differing opinions but are willing to find what we do, share in common, and not let our differences ruin relationships.

2:54:19 My mouth is giving up on me. Like, just start yourself. I can't talk anymore. Your mouth? Your mouse? My mouth. My mouth is giving out on me. And if you can't start one, start yourself. I'm losing coherence. Help me, Jim. Let's do some isos. I'll give you my two up front. I only have two. Alright? Look that up. That's a fact. That's a... a Newsome. And this, I think, is my favorite. Live now. Die later. That's Jim Acosta. I think that's a nice one. Well, I have look it up. You have the same one? Yeah. Yeah. Look that up. That's a fact. Okay, so that would seem almost like it's a shoe-in.

2:55:13 I also have Newsom. Eat your heart out, Texas floor. No, no, I like this one better. Look that up. That's a fact. Yeah, that's kind of right there, man. Look that up. That's a fact. Yeah, I wish it was clearer. I mean, it wasn't Mike. That press conference was poorly Miked. You know, it was pathetic. He was drunk. Yeah, now that you mention it, he was obviously drunk. I mean, that's what's going on. I wanted to mention for today's end of show mixes we have Sir Chris Wilson, Locked Down Like a Dog in Australia, but with a timepiece that he created for this time that we're living in. All of these mixes are now starting to become very, I think, might be important historical pieces of work in the future. Tom Starkweather

2:56:02 did a great piece, what does he title his? Flash Drive Dependent Enhancement. And then sound guy Steve came in with some vaccination propagation, no, propagation. He says vaccination propagation, okay. You listen to these, like holy crap, so much has been jammed in. It's amazing that we're still standing. That our amygdalas haven't exploded in fiery gusts of goo. That's why there's two of us. Thank goodness. You got anything to take us home? Well, I do have a... George Bernard Shaw, I took a clip from him years and years ago where he was advocating, this is during the era of eugenics and the rest of it, he was advocating that people would have to prove their worth to society or should be killed. Okay. I'm sorry. I'm excited.

2:57:03 It's hard to hear him because he's old, it's an old clip from the 20s or 30s. Now explain to everyone who George Bernard Shaw was. George Bernard Shaw was one of the great man of letters who wrote, you know, he was just a playwright, he was a novelist, he was everything. He was the great genius, a guy who was sort of one of the high-end thinkers. Was he a Shakespeare of the era? No, I wouldn't call him that. But he was a very, very important person. But obviously a douchebag when you listen to this. But there are an extraordinary number of people whom I want to kill. Not in any unkind or personal spirit, but it must be evident to all of you. You must all know half a dozen people at least who are no use in this world. Who are more trouble than they are worth. And I think it would be a good thing

2:57:57 to make everybody come before a properly appointed board, just as he might come before the income tax commissioners, and say every five years or every seven years, just put him there and say, sir or madam, now will you be kind enough to justify your existence? This reminds me, one of our producers sent me a link to an episode of Seth MacFarlane's Star Trek kind of takeoff odyssey or something? Whatever it was called. I never watched it. I watched about five episodes. Did you see one of them was a complete ripoff of the Black Mirror episode? Yes, that's the one. That's the one. But what was interesting about it is they go down to earth and there's the master feed which of course you know resembles Twitter with down votes and up votes and everyone has a badge on and

2:58:57 And after, you know, if you get X amount of down votes or if you do something that people then stream onto and is accepted to the master feed and they think you're bad and then everyone start, you know, it's a total spin with the television shows, then you have to go as a tribunal, you have to do an apology tour. And during the Apology Tour, if you can stick within your Apology Tour under 10 million downvotes, then you don't have to go to the reprogramming brain fry center. And it's very similar to that. Just let people on television determine if you should be reprogrammed or not. That could totally happen here. It's happening now. Sadly, I think you're right.

2:59:42 Except it's not happening to individuals on a mass scale. Don't let it happen to you. Keep listening to the No Agenda Show. Turn off your television! It's kryptonite for you. We can handle this. We're professionals. Don't try this at home. Coming up next on noagendastream.com, The Adventures of Nick the Rat. I think that was from earlier this week. Always fun. He does it live, I think, Wednesday nights at least. Maybe Saturday nights too. Wouldn't surprise me. Guys all over the place. That damn rat. As said, end of show mixes, Sir Chris Wilson, Tom Starkweather, Sound Guy Steve, and I am coming to you from the heart of Texas Hill Country. We are located smack dab in the middle of FEMA Region Number 6. In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where, I don't know,

3:00:34 How about less getting a freeing Julian Assange? Where's the news on that poor bastard? I'm John C. Dvorak. We return on Thursday with another edition of your twice a week media deconstruction. Please remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA. Until Thursday, uh-huh, uh-huh, adios, mofos! And such. Australians all should shut up, Slave, cause we're no longer free. Locked inside our homes and flats because of COVID-D.

3:01:24 Our politicians and elites and multi-billionaires Have profited from our demise. Advance Australia unfair, We gave it up without a fight. Advance, Strya, unfair. Comply. No. I know you're going to pletifact this and I know you're going to find something and go wrong with it. The literature that supports all of that is in a flash drive that we presented to you has been given to the secretary. I'm calling because we have vaccine appointments available for you. Well, it's not preventing the transmission. You can still get the virus if you're vaccinated. You can still spread the virus if you're vaccinated.

3:02:16 And I have to choose between that career that I've committed to or put in an experimental drug that I don't know about. I don't know what it's going to do to me and my body. You need to know the condition that is called antibody mediated viral enhancement. Because you are mounting antibodies and those antibodies are able to neutralize the virus. But at the same time, what we are doing is we are putting the virus under tremendous immune selection, selection pressure. It was not until mid-December 2020 that very

3:02:51 with measurably different behavior emerged. Wow, I wonder what took place in December of 2020. Screw your freedom. People who have the vaccine are still able to be infected by this virus and that virus is still able to replicate inside them. Look that up, that's a fact. No vaccine prevents you from getting infection. You get infected, you shed pathogen. This is especially true of viral respiratory pathogens. Have you wondered about the health effects of forcing kids to breathe through sweat and spit and dirt soaked, soaked rags every single day? Coronavirus and all other respiratory viruses, they are spread by aerosol particles which are small enough to go through every mass. This is the mistake that you make when you think

3:03:32 that whatever comes from the corporate press, the mainstream public health experts is gospel. No one can make this virus go away. Do you know what it's called when you force your children to wear masks for fear of a virus that poses almost no threat to them? It's called child abuse. You want to look up a disease, look up Munchausen by proxy. I don't know why that doesn't get more damn attention. And then ask yourself... Get back to normal. I'll be home at 5. Put simply, propaganda is the dissemination of ideas intended to convince people to think and act in a particular way and for a particular purpose.

3:04:09 New CNN reporting shows there's been a sharp decline in vaccination ads on television. The COVID-19 vaccines have been proven safe and effective. There's a lot of misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccine, so it's critical that you get the facts from sources you can trust. The fact is the vaccines are safe and effective. More sickness and death across our nation. A campaign of shock and awe has begun. It's all of our responsibility to slow the spread of the coronavirus. People you know and trust are getting vaccinated. The most affected are black women. Black women. Black women. Black women. Everyone has the key.

3:04:48 everyone else. The vaccines have all been through and met the necessary safety and quality standards. Now that every American over the age of 16 is eligible to get the vaccine, I want to talk about you getting yours. Getting a vaccine can protect not only you but your loved ones. The vaccine is safe, COVID vaccines are safe. and effective. It's effective. It's effective. It's easy. It's free. And it cannot change your DNA. The next step on the journey is yours. Our health is worth a shot. I beg the public to take this virus more seriously. The ultimate endgame of all this is vaccination. The best podcast in the universe. MoFo. Dvorak.org slash N-A. Look that up. That's a fact.
