00:00 Live! Adam Curry, John C. DeVora. It's Thursday, October 7th, 2021. This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1388. This is no agenda. With traffic and weather on the 8th and broadcasting live from the heart of Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6 in the morning everybody. I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where the return Zephyr just went by, coming in from Denver, I'm John C. DeVora. Now wait a minute is that a report or is that not a report if this is not a report it's just a Ridiculous later. I don't know why it's going by but it's going in the other direction that is effort You've never reported on a because it doesn't ever show up during this show isn't that isn't that like a Fibonacci retracement?

00:50 Come on, come on, we've got some business. Okay, bye. Bye. This is an economic indicator. Go long, US deal. There you go, SquawkBoxy, NBC, pay attention. We've got a reverse Fibonacci on the Zephyr Economic Report, Bitcoin, $50,829. Oh my God! Woo! Listen to that horn! Well, it's an exciting start of the show. Well, it'd be more exciting when the Zephyr's going the other way, which should be any minute. What's interesting about the one going this way, and there's a couple of… there's also one that comes in from Seattle and you have to kind of differentiate the two. I'm pretty sure this is the Zephyr. Except the thing that's interesting is that the male luggage car on the return train is at the end of the train. It's not after the engines.

01:37 I wonder why that is. Yeah, everyone should know this. No, hey, come on man. From the John's FOMER Corner, this is big news. We have not heard of this. It's the FOMER Corner with John C. Dvorak. Woo-hoo! That's right everybody, it's the never ending 3x3. John C. DuBois checks out ABC, CBS and NBC on Thursday morning, the first Thursday of the week and lets us know what the big stories are! I have to say it's becoming noticeable, we talked about this before on the show, that the racial makeup of the show, of all these shows, is leaning, considering the percentage of blacks in the United States, it's leaning very black. It's majority black on all shows. Across the board, across the big three.

02:32 Yeah, I would just give you the rundown CBS 2 2 blacks 1 white hold on John I just want I want everyone to understand that you are now counting blacks. Okay, just want to make sure that I Have a commentary at the end okay NBC is 4 to 2 and then ABC's 2 to 2 but they have a lot of Correspondence and they also have Michael Strahan who actually accounts for Because it's so big he's actually too big. And if I may add, we have indeed found evidence that they put Michael Strahan in a dress. What? Oh yeah, there's photographic evidence. They put him in a dress on some stupid show.

03:12 ABC, by the way, with their, they have, they did a, well, I get to the three by three, I'll talk about it. But they, they tend to try to humiliate the black members of the cast the way I see it. I could be wrong. But I, but my commentary is the blacks, The black, the blacks, like the gays. The blacks have done an excellent job of pushing their way into majority ownership of the airways, not ownership of the network. Now let me ask you a question. Did you really think that they pushed their way in or do you think that they had a red carpet rolled out because OMG diversity?

03:49 I think it's a combination of two, but they took advantage of it and I congratulate them. Good work, no doubt. And I'll say this, except for the one guy, this one guy I mentioned before, I bitch about this one guy, they're all great hosts, except this one guy. But they're all great hosts and they put up with... And in the case of Michael Strahan, they put up with a lot just to be famous. I mean, this guy doesn't need the money. He really does. He really does. He's really putting up with it. He puts up with a lot. Alright, so now do we have a final tally now? Of blacks to whites? Yes. Well hold on, there's a train coming. And there's maybe the real one. Yep, I'm correct. Ladies and gentlemen, stand by. We've got a Zephyr report. Key's counting. What will it be? We had the retracement on the Fibonacci. Same old, same old. Same old, same old. Eight cars. Oh my god! Listen to that horn! My head is spinning. Three by three. FOMA reports. This is a nutty ass show already.

04:48 So the final tally is 6, 7, 8 to 5. And I mentioned this, no Asians. I was about to ask, yes. No Asians? Well, there's this hoda who's kind of... Which is, by the way, this whole thing is interesting to me because, and the two of us follow this somewhat closely, is that they've gone from the multi-culti look And they've just pretty much dropped it. Except for Hoda, there's not, there's a number of multi-culti looking people. In other words, a multi-culti, for anyone out there who wants to follow this, is a person that you don't really know what they are. But if they look a little bit African American, a little bit Asian, a little bit white, a little bit Spanish, a little bit Mexican. I would say Hispanic, Latinx undertones are preferred by the executives. Oh yeah, absolutely.

05:48 And people need to, I need to explain for people who are new to this program, this, we talk as television executives. This is exactly the conversation that's going on at ABC and CBS and NBC. So we're not racist. We're giving you insight because we've seen it. We've watched it. We've lived it. We've lived it. And we could do these jobs. Easily. Yeah, but we've chosen to serve the public instead. Yes, a vow of poverty. A vow of poverty. Okay, let's start with CBS. All right. Sharks, shark, shark, shark, shark. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Is it shark week again on Discovery? Well, I don't know, but it might be, but sharks, they talk about sharks and a lot of great whites now, a lot of great whites, a lot of great whites. A lot of great whites. They're tagging them, they're all over the East Coast, the West Coast, record number of great whites.

06:41 And then the guy comes with this deep voice, he says, you can expect company in the water. Oh, COVID is not scaring people enough anymore. And then they went from that to talking about peas that make beyond meat and all that, you know, what? Then I went to a commercial, but they were going to the next report is gonna be on peas and how important they are to making fake meat. Wow, yeah, we have to protect the peas. Are they now an endangered species? Because they're critical for our fake meat? No, they're not critical. They're not talking about the end. And by the way, they never fit. They didn't finish the shark thing by blaming global warming, at least that I can tell. Oh, lame ass. I don't know what they were thinking. Missed opportunity.

07:30 So NBC we go to pop start NBC has become the old version of Good Morning America where they just do a bunch of celebrity news and so they did they had that six people on the stage. Wait, did you call this pop start? That's what they call it. Pop Start. By the way, which is lame. Yeah, sometimes waiting to hear what it is. They had a meeting. Is it sponsored by Pop Tart by any chance? No, you'd think it would be. Yeah. No, it's Pop Start. So I'm watching this, oh brother. So they went on to a big story about Blake Shelton and how he was on Seth Meier and he was, and how he got married by Carson Daly who was doing the marriage ceremony with him and Gwen Stefani. Carson Daly married Gwen, oh because they're on The Voice together, that's why. Carson Daly's not on The Voice. Yes, he's the host of The Voice, is he not?

08:33 Not... is he? No. Yes! Yes! Well, whatever. I obviously don't keep a careful enough track. Are you... are you... come on, man. Come on, man. Yes, of course he's the host. Okay, well, so they had Seth... they was on Seth... who cares? This is all NBC's different crappy shows. I'm surprised they didn't bring Jimmy Fallon into the mix and they didn't. They hate Jimmy Fallon. Because he's a drunk. So... well, there's that. Allegedly. Yeah, allegedly. And so then Carson Daly, they're talking about we can read the stars or something. And then they went on to how Tim McGraw asked Faith Hill to get married. Who cares? Okay, so I skipped NBC, which is just the dregs with their six people on stage. ABC. We start off with

09:30 cut right to a special. ABC seems to be doing all of these travelogues, and I've pointed them out before, travelogues and sales shows. And the travelogue this time was about Wisconsin. And so Wisconsin, geez, there's some facts that we're in here. Ready for the facts? I'm ready for some facts. Somebody can look this up. I think we have more in California, but Wisconsin has one million cows. And did you know this? The cows are milked three times a day. Oh, goodness. What would I be without ABC? And then Chad the Cheese Guy came on because he's a big fancy, fancy cheese taster. Dude, Chad the Cheese Guy. Yeah, Chad the Cheese Guy. And Chad the Cheese Guy had a tip.

10:20 And by the way, this was covered by another black correspondent, which they send again, ABC. Let's send him to Wisconsin. Let's send a black chick whose name, who by the way is Dynamite. She's a really good producer. I have to say, because her report was quite good even though they had Chad. Make her do cheese. Her name is Mona. Right. They sent her to Wisconsin to see if they can get her beat up. What about your racist up there? So Chad the cheese, so she asked Chad the cheese guy for a tip a tasting tip tasting how to a tasting to a cheese tasting tip Yeah, hmm, okay, and I have the I want the tip is it's such a good tip Enjoy what you enjoy yeah that paid off huh? that watching paid off

11:15 And then they had Kelly's ice cream. They're promoting this ice cream. Best ice cream in the world, they said. Which I doubt, but it's probably pretty good. And then they had this poor Mona girl. The funny thing about the Mona girl is in most of Europe, but certainly in the Netherlands, Mona, M-O-N-A, is a very famous brand of milk products. Oh, ironic. Yes. Mainly yogurts and stuff like that. But it immediately associated, I had cheese, yeah. Immediate association. So to do what they had to do to humiliate her even more than sending her up there.

11:55 They had her milk a cow. Ah, yeah! Yeah. And of course, she couldn't do it. No, you're not doing it right. Right in the face. Right in the face. Splashes her. Oh my goodness. These guys are shameless. The white milk on the black face. They're racist. It runs away. These guys are racist, man. That's Disney. Disney. They're all, they're all haters. They're into that. Yeah, Disney's into that. That's what they like. And so boom, they're cutting away and they're going to the commercial break and telling us what's coming next and there it is. And be right back for deals and steals. Ah, thank goodness we got something to sell.

12:35 Yeah, so that's that and that's my wow miserable three by no this is a very exciting very exciting And you know that there was a producer going both both both we did the cow segment. We got it We got it. What'd you get we got the money shot? People are disgusting well, it's all about to end anyway for Hollywood the A TSE has agreed to go on strike. Yeah, yeah This this could screw over everybody because they can't do without these people They're the main guys. Yeah guys and gals. These are the ones every they're part of everything if you Really can't get enough scabs to cover. So it's the International Alliance of theatrical stage employees

13:27 And they, yeah, they interface with everything and everybody. And part of the real issue is the streamers. It is really ABC, it is Disney. Well, we still don't know what the results were, but we do know that Scarlett Johansson won her suit against Disney because of this streaming nonsense. Yeah, well, she got caught in the middle of the switchover where they went from theatrical windows, as they call it, straight to streaming and her deal was based on, you know, her the traditional residual system. Yeah, she probably took a cut in pay to get the piece of the back end, which is probably going to be millions of dollars. Yes. Yes. Is it being nothing? Yeah. Yeah.

14:13 It's crazy. So yeah, streaming is... they're gonna have to figure out how to share the wealth. Oh no, it's dead. These shows that you are... you pretty much are the James Cameron of mainstream television. You are bringing to the screen for us, in our mind's eye, you are bringing the sinking of the Titanic. Yes, I am. Yeah, I mean, frame by frame. And what's happening at these three networks, these racists are making the black people rearrange the deck chairs. I mean, that's really, that is the metaphor and I think it holds true. That's a good one. Yes, let's make it even more, yeah. Well, I'm not going to argue the point. Their lunch has been taken.

15:02 Or is for them a little less but consistently being taken away by Silicon Valley. And I'd like to start there today after our three by three intro with the face. You're going to do a lot of this. So I took the Biden part of the show. Good, good, good. And for obvious reasons, because I'm the one that's funny. And what? What are you trying to say? I get the funny clips. Oh, you jumped on the grenade. No, you jumped on the grenade. That's what you do. That was very good. So you but we do have some COVID coverage. But yes, this hearing which was

15:40 A scam. I'm working on an essay on it because I think... Oh, I think that this... we may be able to contribute to the essay today. Yeah, I'm hoping. This thing was... well, I'll just play one little clip which kind of shows you the essence of what I think people will hear about this. There's a couple of different stories going on. Of course, they also had a huge outage. So there's a lot of things to discuss about the bag. This is Edward Markey, Democrat in Massachusetts, with his message. Here's my message for Mark Zuckerberg. Your time of invading our privacy, promoting toxic content, and preying on children and teens is over. Congress will be taking action. You can work with us.

16:27 or not work with us. But we will not allow your company to harm our children and our families and our democracy any longer. They really need to take the Emmy back from Cuomo and duplicate it, replicate it, and hand it out to a number of these people who did just a phenomenal job, including the whistleblower herself, in trying to convince us that this was a true whistleblower who really just has the interest of the poor young girls at heart. Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha.

17:03 By the way, yes. Very, very pathetic. To call her a whistleblower is stupid. Well, let's listen to one of the reports. We just have an idea. Backgrounder ABC. On Tuesday, a former Facebook manager turned whistleblower testified before a Senate committee painting a dire picture of the company's policies. The choices being made inside of Facebook are disastrous for our children, for our public safety. for our privacy and for our democracy. Francis Haugen smuggled thousands of documents out of the company. She claims the internal research shows Facebook ignores the negative impact that social media platforms can have, especially on teenagers. Facebook knows that it's amplification algorithms.

17:48 things like engagement-based ranking on Instagram can lead children from very innocuous topics like healthy recipes to anorexia promoting content over a very short period of time. So Facebook knows that they are leading young users to anorexia content. In his post last night, Zuckerberg writing, quote, Another Facebook executive is also pushing back. You know, she didn't work on these issues at Facebook, and I think that she's mischaracterized a lot of the documents that she stole. Haugen also suggested a federal agency be formed dedicated to policing Facebook.

18:34 Actually, she didn't say just policing Facebook. She said the Internet. The Internet needs to be policed. So before we get into any clips or discussion, I just need to set this up and tell you exactly what I think is going on. This is really a PR move coordinating with the Democratic Party, Richard Blumenthal, who led all this, whose largest donor, by the way, is Microsoft. They might have some skin in this game to push laws for right now. Not you. Since you mentioned this guy is a fact that Microsoft I didn't know that I looked it up but he was he was involved in the Microsoft antitrust case. So by the way, he's one of these guys I looked at his back. That's funny.

19:25 What? No, it's funny that he was in the Microsoft antitrust case and Microsoft's his biggest donor. They're giving him money. Top, top donor. He knows how to operate. Here's how he operates. He went to Harvard, he went to Yale Law School, he went to Oxford. And this was, he was one of the baby boomers that was involved right during the Vietnam era. He's born in 46. And this was the 1970s when they're drafting everybody. So he finds some way to get out of it. He uses the same trick, I believe, because he married, and I believe is already married at the time, a very incredibly rich woman. He pulled a John Kerry. And she's like a big real estate, they own a piece, in fact him and his wife, they own a piece of the Empire State Building. Which piece? The tip. Yeah, the tip. So he was connected at the time to this, he's worth 100 million, they think.

20:24 and connected to enough Greece that he pulled a George Bush. He ended up in the National Guard, but it wasn't the National Guard, it was the Marine National Guard. And he achieved, like Bush, who was an officer, this guy's achievement was sergeant. Woo! So he got to be sergeant in the Marines, and he has said a number of times, and he's caught on tape for saying it, that he served in Vietnam. And when he gets busted for saying he served in Vietnam, he always says, oh, I meant to say I served during Vietnam. During Vietnam. He never left the country, the confines of, you know, he never went overseas.

21:09 And he was one of those guys. So he was a, he's a, he's a manipulator. He is a, uh, it's creepy looking too. He's really creepy. He's very creepy. It looks like a, it looks like Lurch creepy. He looks bad. So there's a lot of, okay. Yes. He did a lot when he was, he was, uh, in Connecticut, he was the attorney general. He sued everybody left and right. And next thing you know, now he's supported by Microsoft. That's pretty funny. So that's why I brought this up. Any collusion? Lots of collusion. And I have to admit that I think I was wrong and you were right. This goes back a ways. Remember that special came out? It was from the Center for Humane Technology and gosh, I can't remember what it was called.

21:57 What's that thing called? Tristan Harris, the former Google quote unquote whistleblower. He's now the founding member of the Center for Humane Technology. Okay, so this is their operation as far as I can tell. And the Center for Humane Technology, now that we have taken a second to look at it, is funded by... Ford Foundation? Okay. Pritzker Foundation? Okay. Oh, the Omidyar Foundation. Getting a little more bile in my throat. And yes, there it is, finally! Open Society Institute.

22:38 So this is a huge bunch of colluding scam a-holes, including this so-called whistleblower who has spook written all over her face. Yeah, doesn't she? And her skirts are inappropriately short. Inappropriately short for the setting that she's in and for the time of year and for her body. Excuse me, I have to just say it. She's a spook and you can you can tell this is it is I mean Anyone who has been listening to this show for a while just looks at her and goes she's a spook So they said so they said so they set it up with the Securities Exchange Commission This is where you can get stuff done because no one ever whistle blows at the Securities Exchange Commission because you wind up dead You want to say something?

23:30 Yeah, I lost it though, but it was like something about the social dilemma. That's what that documentary was called the social social dilemma Yes, so I'll say so I get some comments about her being a spook later. Okay, we'll get to it So and and these guys are all over it now. I'm seeing them pop up in interviews Tristan and as a Raskin and here it is the Center for Humane Technologies key advisors and Also include Facebook co-founder, former New Republic owner Chris Hughes. And let me see, Open Society, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. This is a very well-funded front at this point and I'm very disappointed because I bought the whole Tristan Harris vibe. I thought that guy was sincere because what they're saying and what this whistleblower says about algorithms are true. But it's the response from Facebook and from others that make it so clear that the deal is

24:30 the way I see it and then we can get into the clips. We're going to show just how horrible this is. This is the, um, and the analogy or the narrative is tobacco. And, you know, just like big tobacco, which means we're going to make it legal for certain companies under certain circumstances and certain licensing to be able to provide this horrible product, which is still a very profitable business. Tobacco business is doing quite well worldwide. Facebag would love that, as would Twitter, as would any other large social network that can afford to do that because you lock out all the competition.

25:08 The Silicon Valley executives, they're just going to be happy with it because now they can really dance with mainly the Democrats but with all politicians. on the sliding scale of these regulations and where do they move and where do we go. And certainly in this case the Democrats will be very happy because cutting to the chase, I believe the algorithm of the news feed, which is what Facebook and Twitter are, it's the feed, will not fall under Section 230. protection, which means these companies will be forced to edit those and make sure that nothing controversial is on them. And so everybody wins.

25:54 Because ultimately, no one will be on these shitty-ass networks anymore, because the fun will be sucked out of them. But we're going to see a concerted push, and I think the concept of this is not just for Facebook, this is for all the Internet, that's what they really want. And you and I know that politicians, all of them, have wanted to regulate the Internet from day one. This thing is annoying. And what's funny about them wanting to regulate, and by the way, 230 doesn't end controversy on these as opposed to 230 ends the liability issue.

26:33 Yes, exactly. The liability. But you can still have controversial posting without... Oh yeah, but they can say, hey, we can't be liable. We're liable for everything in the feed, so we have to maintain that. And you're off. You're done. That's not approved. I mean, it's obvious how that's going to go. Okay, so let's now before this this was so well planned so first She went to the Securities Exchange Commission under the guise of who these guys they're lying to their investors. They're saying oh It's a engagement is all good But they're lying because they're hurting girls and I need your very good whistleblower protections, oh

27:15 They're even using the same law firm as she is, as the Center for Humane Technologies. This whole thing is a setup. Here's what preceded it. Well done. CBS, the main drivers of the narrative, had her on 60 Minutes. So this was... Spook. The Central Intelligence Broadcast System. Spook. Yeah. I mean, she may have been planted months or maybe a year ago to get this moment. I really think this is what's going on. Zuckerberg has had nothing but stupid little statements. He's not really pushing back because everybody knows this is the plan. So here's the, got a couple clips from the 60 minutes. This is the setup. Francis Haugen is 37, a data scientist from Iowa with a degree in computer engineering and a Harvard master's degree in business.

28:07 For 15 years, she's worked for companies including Google and Pinterest. I've seen a bunch of social networks and it was substantially worse at Facebook than anything I'd seen before. You know, someone else might have just quit and moved on. And I wonder why you take this stand. Imagine you know what's going on inside of Facebook and you know no one on the outside knows. I knew what my future looked like if I continued to stay inside of Facebook, which is Person after person after person has tackled this inside of Facebook and ground themselves to the ground. When and how did it occur to you to take all of these documents out of the company? At some point in 2021, I realized, okay, I'm going to have to do this. I don't like this, how she starts to answer this, just in spook analysis here. We're in 2021.

28:56 This is 2021. At what point did you start to do this? Well, sometime in 20... No, no, I mean, this is 2021. May, April... You know what I mean? Isn't that kind of odd? Am I thinking this... No, I agree. When she said that, it caught me off guard too. Yeah. It was like, so when did you do it? When did you start? Well, it was sometime in 2021. It sounds like... And so it was sometime in the 40s. It feels a bit like that was rehearsed and that's the program is just flowing out She's doing so too many interviews at some point in 2021. I realized okay I'm gonna have to do this in a systemic way and I have to get out enough that no one can question that This is real. She secretly copied tens of thousands of pages of Facebook internal research Yeah, anyway stop. Yes

29:54 What kind of person besides a spook does something like that? Who copies tens of thousands of pages? Of course! That's what spooks do! That's their job! And the lack of copies of this anywhere is of course, you know, very annoying. Who has it? Well, the news organizations have it. Why don't the people have it? Because Julian Assange is locked up, that's why! That's why the people don't have it. So you everyone deserves to be very suspicious of this. So, you know, you have your phone. You might see I'm sorry here. She's going to explain. She's going to explain about the algos. So, you know, you have your phone. You might see and I want us to evaluate this actually wouldn't stop you for a second on if she's doing a good job explaining what an algorithm is to these

30:44 60 minutes audience, which will definitely skew older, are very interested in, want to learn. But you know, to date, most explanations of Algos, I think have fallen short. So let's see how well she did. So, you know, you have your phone, you might see only 100 pieces of content if you sit and scroll off for, you know, five minutes. But Facebook has thousands of options it could show you. The algorithm picks from those options based on the kind of content you've engaged with the most in the past. And one of the consequences of how Facebook is picking out that content today is it is optimizing for content that gets engagement or reaction. But its own research is showing that content that is hateful, that is divisive, that is polarizing

31:35 It's easier to inspire people to anger than it is to other emotions. Misinformation, angry content is enticing to people and keeps them on the platform. Yes. Facebook has realized that if they change the algorithm to be safer, people will spend less time on the site, they'll click on less ads, they'll make less money. How do you think that came across? Do you think that's clear to everybody what the controversy is, the so-called internal struggle Facebook has, is whether to hurt their users or hurt their pocketbook? Well, I don't think that was it. That, what you just said is not explained in that little clip, that little explanation. But it's also very sketchy what she said, the whole notion. Now, I don't think she sounds like a... wasn't she billed as a data scientist?

32:29 She was got she's yeah, she got a degree in data science or something doesn't speak Iowa And then she somehow went from Iowa to to get an MBA at Harvard. She's called a master's before it is a master's but for data scientists to be talking about Data in this way and say it was very enticing that just doesn't sound the way a data scientist talks I'll say yes to that. You're right. I really like this part because now we bring in the danger to the entire world, which then we can later bring back down to January 6th. But here's the danger to the entire world. That dynamic led to a complaint to Facebook by major political parties across Europe. This 2019 internal report obtained by Haugen says that the parties feel strongly that the change to the algorithm has forced them to skew negative

33:29 in their communications on Facebook, leading them into more extreme policy positions. The European political parties were essentially saying to Facebook, the way you've written your algorithm is changing the way we lead our countries. Yes. You are forcing us to take positions that we don't like, that we know are bad for society. We know if we don't take those positions, we won't win in the marketplace of social media. This is very crafty, what they've done here. This is kind of known amongst advertisers too. It's like in order to get your message across, or marketers I should say, you need to kind of skew negative on Facebook, on Facebook specifically, but I think probably all social networks to trigger the algo. And so... Yeah, that's an interesting thesis. I'm not buying it, but I'm not buying it personally.

34:31 I don't think the algo is going to be triggered. I mean, by what, what specifically, unless there's specifics here that tell me how this works, which is never provided in this report. Uh, like even one loan specific or a word, for example, something like you'd say, whatever word, just say some random word triggers the algo, which is not much of an algo. It's mostly a checklist, expert system style of coding. I just don't buy it. She never gives one example. Well, you say you don't buy it, I say take a chance. Columbus did. Thank you. I was hoping that would work. Tina said that in the car the other day to a guy who was not moving from the intersection. I'd never heard this.

35:26 Okay, here's a stymied me so you can continue. There we go. So of course when we have these types of political issues, it always has to skew negative. That's what works. We know no good can come from it. What happened between election day and January 6th on the platform? There were a lot of people who were angry, fearful. So they spread those groups to more people. And then when they had to choose which content from those groups to put into people's newsfeed, They picked the content that was most likely to be engaged with, which happened to be angry, hateful content. And so imagine you're seen in your newsfeed every day. The election was stolen. The election was stolen. The election was stolen. At what point would you storm the Capitol? This is really interesting what they're doing here. Are they maybe giving a little bit of an out by shifting some blame for January 6 onto Facebook? I personally, A, don't think so.

36:20 And B, if Facebook was so powerful, how come the number of people that were there were 10,000 max? And the people that went in, a couple hundred? This is not causing the French Revolution. Hold on a second. Please stop bringing your logic in here. We're not talking about if this makes any sense. Who gives a shit? This is about the narrative. They're saying this. We know it's bullcrap. The whole thing is a setup. Why are they saying this specifically? Not about it being true, how will it be used? I think this was an error on their narrative part. If you're writing the narrative,

37:02 To throw this in, unless you've already given up on the January 6th nonsense, to throw it in and to kind of blame Facebook a little bit for January 6th, it's like, eh, I don't know. You didn't have to do that. Maybe that's what Marsha Blackburn said. Look, I'll support you. I'll stand next to you, you creepy Blumenthal. And I'll talk about all this stuff, but you gotta give us something too. I'm not putting the Republicans outside of this gambit here. Oh, the Republicans are just as guilty as the Democrats when it comes to this woman. Okay. Okay. And the whole thing, in fact, it was just to me, it was like equal dumb shits on both sides of the aisle slapping this up like a bunch of dumb Basset hounds. Yes. Well, because this is a scripted operation.

37:51 100% so I'm just gonna put a pin in it as we say because there's something about that statement that will come back. So now let's look at the other side Facebook again on CBS because there's nowhere else to listen to them this is where you want to hear about all the stuff that's going on that's where the spooks hang out. Pat on Facebook's head of global safety. Miss Davis and her first name is Antigone and How do you Antigone? Where's this? I've never heard this name Antigone. Oh, yeah, it's a Greek goddess or something It's a it's not an uncommon name Greek goddess of what hmm Antigone? All right. So let's let's talk about the actual SEC documents

38:35 And what I think is an interesting, this is more about the claim that the whistleblower made to the SEC. When you guys talk to investors and make financial filings to the federal government like your 10k report here You talk about engagement being the top priority engagement and user growth Are you telling me now that you're amending that that that's no longer the priority? Well, let me touch on the business model because I think that there's a very short-sighted Description of our of how we do business. We put people first. We want people to have a positive experience on our platform

39:11 If we build a platform that is filled with hate, that is not going to actually keep people interested, and it's not something people are going to want to come to. People come to Facebook to share photos of their family and friends. They come to Facebook to build their small business. If it's filled with hate, they're not going to do that. And our advertisers aren't going to come back either. But Antigone, respectfully, all the available research publicly and what we know about the research you guys have internally is that engagement, which is the key business for Facebook, comes primarily and most easily from misinformation, divisive content.

39:47 How can you say that you don't profit off of some of this harmful content? So the way our algorithm works in your newsfeed is based on the things that are of interest to you. So what the things that you engage with. That said, we actually also have within our systems things that actually suppress things like clickbait, things that are divisive. So I think that just fundamentally is a simplification of the- Did she laugh in there? Did her hair laugh? Hold on a second. Misinformation, divisive content. How can you say that you don't profit off of some of this harmful content? So the way our algorithm works in your newsfeed is based on the things that are of interest to you. So what the things that you engage with. That said, we actually also have within- Tell, she's about to lie. That said, we also have-

40:42 What do they also have that she's about to lie about? The way our algorithm works in your newsfeed is based on the things that are of interest to you. So what the things that you engage with. That said, we actually also have within our systems things that actually suppress things like clickbait. bait, things that are divisive. So I think that just fundamentally is a simplification of the way that our newsfeed works. Yeah, sounds like they don't actually have anything that actually, as she kept saying, actually nothing. They got nothing there. That's what the lie was. Yeah. Yeah. You know, trying to filter that stuff out, almost impossible is what you should say. Now, I have a second clip, but go ahead. First of all,

41:28 I'm gonna go back to this late 70s, 80s, I'm gonna go back in time. No, I don't need that. I don't need that sounding like I'm going back in time. If you recall, there were two or three holy grails, well actually it's three holy grails of where computers are gonna lead us. One, and this is what Facebook has accomplished, but nobody wants to give them credit for it, but first let me name the other two. One was all the libraries of the world online, everything, all the information you can get ever, and Google tried to do that and everybody got pissed off. Yeah, with the books. With the books. You can't do that. You're gonna ruin it for- Dude, I'm not making any money!

42:11 And you're not anyway, dude. So, but it's okay. So that was one of the things. So that got, you know, rug got pulled out from under that, even though it got pretty far. Another one of the things was the holy grail of advertising, which is still in play, which is the right ad at the right time for the right product, for the right person, for the right reason, at the right price. I have one bottle to sell, a bottle of this elixir. I only have one bottle to sell and it's almost specifically made for one individual. Can you find that person for me and can I sell it to them? That is really the goal of modern advertising is to really isolate the one buyer. Yeah. How's that working out so far? Facebook is coming close to that. Yes. I think, I agree with you certainly for small and medium business. Yes. It's a dynamite product for that. And which is what newspapers used to do. Local newspapers. Yeah. And, um,

43:09 And the last thing was, and this is the third one, and this came up a lot. And I always... If I may interject for one second into your point too, I believe in my heart the five-hour outage was either prolonged or maybe even intended to remind you how important it is to your business because I know a lot of business people who had real issues not just not having Instagram. This was a reminder that we need them but they're evil, they're like tobacco, we got to get them. There's more messaging in that part. You might be right. Now, the last one, the last holy grail of sorts that was, then this again was in play in the mid, early 80s, during the computer, personal computer revolution, where it was going to save the world.

43:56 Was the custom this one by the way I wrote more columns about this one because I thought it was a dreadful idea And I still think it is is the idea of the customized newspaper the customized newsletter Yes, you only get what you want that was the that started with the Yahoo homepage was that was the whole idea your your personal you got you got you got to Cuss you had you they figured out who you were and then they only know you sell you self-selected No, it was worse you self-selected to set it up. No, that was in the beginning, but eventually it would be automated by algos. So they would know what you wanted to read about. And this is what Facebook does, and that's what she's trying to explain. If somebody wants to read, so I'm on Facebook, let's say, I'm not on Facebook, by the way, I've never got an account, but let's say I'm on Facebook and all I care about is hateful content. So they give it to me, so what?

44:54 So what? It's all anti-Joe Biden stuff. So what? It's what I like to read. So what's everybody bent out of shape for? Are you seriously asking me this? Yeah, I am. Well, I'm not. You're not? I'm not really seriously asking you this. No, because we don't want people reading Donald Trump. We don't want people reading horse de-warmer Rogan. That's, it's control of messaging. That's why, you know why. Their system is broken. People are no longer watching these stupid ass shows that are racist. They're not reading the newspapers except for the liberal... They're reading headlines. No, they're reading headlines. Headlines, because there's a paywall and everything. They're reading headlines mostly, by the way.

45:41 In any neighborhood in California, you can see who all these people are because there's the, and they do it on purpose. I know for a fact, they must do it on purpose. They have the New York Times home delivered, it's printed in San Rafael, and it's home delivered and it's in a blue wrapper and you can go right, you can drive this, drive right down the street and see every one of the little- And they leave it out until nine so everyone, they know all the neighbors have seen it. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I'm sure they do. So these guys have no, the messaging system is broken and look at how it behooves everybody to get these regulations first on Facebook and then as the whistleblower I think herself said we need an agency just like you know just like the FAA or maybe for the internet. Oh yeah this would be beautiful and along with this comes with what we now know they're already doing, where's the outrage? The government has been ordering Google

46:36 to identify keyword searches. So anyone who searched for sexual assault victims name within a certain geographic area, their address or phone number seems innocuous. But that's really violating rights, certainly the United States constitutional rights. So they want this. The only way that we can make sure that everything stays safe according to the regulations and the rules is to read your messages. Then your DMs, this is what they want. Oh my goodness, this is the best. Now the question is, are they gonna try and push it all the way through to the protocol level or to the ISPs, you know, so that you can't set up a little server anymore? That's the part that's worrisome. Well, this is kind of happening if you read, people should read this good news source called Torrent Freak. And Torrent Freak has all the news about torrents.

47:33 And one of the things going on right now is the VPN providers are now getting sued as by large... Copyright holders? Copyright holders, yes. By the movie industry. Yeah, for facilitating. for being a facilitator and this is the big thing it's like wait a minute we're just we're just you know we're part of trying to keep people safe because section 230 baby very Sorry section 230. That's that they have to take it down. The answer very handy for a lot of things including you know virus protection and Worms that go through the net and okay people track tracking you and advertise There's a lot of good reasons to have VPN, but they're gonna start suing these guys I was wondering how long this is gonna take

48:25 People will have to learn to decentralize and do things on their own. That is the only way to go if you want to keep some kind of... and they'll let that go, you know, they think it'll be controlled opposition, but... I feel much more bullish. Anyway, there's a second part to this Antigone Davis. Now, so he kind of asked her a question which she definitely did not answer and the essence of the question is why is it that you say to your investors engagement is really important? This is the future of growth of the company measured in revenues.

49:03 And on the other side, you're saying, well, you know, we're really very careful about engagement. Which one is it? This is key here because when you talk to investors and you file things with the SEC, you say, in fact, one of the key risks to your business is anything that deprioritizes engagement and user growth in the short term. Are you amending this now? Are you saying that your algorithm is going to prioritize good feelings first, not engagement by any means? Actually, to give you an example of the work that we've done, we made some adjustments to our algorithm to create—to get people engaged in more meaningful social interactions.

49:42 And we did that knowing that it would reduce the amount of time that people spent on our platform. It did, in fact, do that by 50 million hours a day. But in the long term, that's a better experience, and that's actually better for business. Yeah, thanks for not answering it again. I just had a thought, actually. If you're at Facebook— Well, you're collecting that thought. No, I haven't. The thought's collected, but go ahead. This chicken shit operation to send us to the S.E.C. to try to... to try to intimidate the company. The SEC is a toothless hay. Exactly. They can really do anything. They put away no one for no reason at no time. That's not true. They sent Martha Stewart. Yeah, Martha Stewart and well, Bernie Madoff, they had to get him. He was old anyway, who cared? No one was making... After he made $50 billion. Yeah.

50:39 I was just thinking, I had another thought about this. Here, this is the CBS Evening News report about it. Good evening and thank you so much for joining us. We want to begin tonight with what has been a brutal day for social media giant Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. All of them knocked offline for about six hours today, leaving billions of users locked out. The cause of the outage still not clear as of tonight, but there are reports that even the systems inside Facebook were down, so employees had difficulty communicating and troubleshooting the problem. Facebook's stock tank taking a nosedive today, sliding nearly 5 percent. And Forbes says Mark Zuckerberg's fortune declined by nearly $6 billion.

51:21 So this event, which was chalked up to a misconfiguration of border gateway protocol, which messes up DNS and indeed could make everything fail within the organization. And from what I understand, they had to have the right people who know to re-authenticate these routers at that level. They had to get them to the data centers. So there's not people not in the right place. Sure, that takes time. But also, for this operation, not everyone can be in the loop on this. It feels a little bit like someone pulled a ripcord and said it's time to delete some shit for a second. You know what I mean?

52:02 Yeah, spook versus spy versus spy. Well, yeah, but like the equivalent of shredding documents. Like, hey, we're locked down. Oh, we can't even do anything. We have no idea what's going on. Yeah, that sounds right. That's a good thought. It's quite likely, possible that they shredded, in a virtual sense, shredded a bunch of documents. Boom, gone. I'm not sure exactly how it fits into the whole story. Um, what they had to shred. Right. So I think the main, what we're going to see next with this whistleblower, there may be another subtext of this whole thing where there was some, somebody trying to steal something more than she stole. And well, it may, it may have. Yes. Possible. Possible. That outage, you know, you know, as we say, there's no coincidence. Coincidence. I think not.

52:50 So, what will happen next, and this will be of interest, great interest to me, is she will testify before the January 6th Commission, committee, whatever they're calling it. It'll be interesting to see what comes out of that if people say, oh man, so these people may have been all jacked already, but it was really a face bag that sparked it and that pushed them over the edge. It's possible that that will come out of it. We'll have to see how that goes, because I think everybody needs a piece for this to win, because the end result is Washington federal government controls more of what people think is their place to have free speech.

53:30 Free speech doesn't scale. It doesn't scale by Silicon Valley standards. So that's why they hate it. But in the meantime, here we are having free speech conversations that no one is able to touch because we're not on the platform. And this will be the main driver for the parents and the think of the children. This is the equivalent of, again, it's killing, letting kids smoke and die of cancer. They're throwing the babies out of the incubators onto the floor. It's all about the children. Just listen to how horrible it is. Internal company documents obtained from a congressional source show in 2019, a year after Facebook changed its algorithm to encourage engagement, its own researchers identified a problem.

54:16 They set up this test account following former President Trump, the former first lady in Fox News. Within a day, the algorithm was recommending polarizing content. Conspiracy theory recommendations started on day two. After about a week, the account received a QAnon suggestion. By week two, its news feed was comprised by and large of misleading or false content. And in week three, the account's news feed was an intensifying mix of misinformation, misleading and recycled content, polarizing memes and conspiracy content interspersed with occasional engagement bait. Engagement bait? Like what? Engagement bait? I gotta write that down. Well, why don't they tell us with some examples? They're just blathering. Yes, of course.

55:01 Because none of the I mean a lot of these individual pieces are real of course algos are doing this of course That's destructive of course. This is we know about the dopamine. That's what's so great about it It's all true, but the management of it with this spook woman with the the jutting chin I'm just gonna get personal about it and the very sharp nose. I'm always wary of a very very sharp nose You usually get stuck in someone else's business. She was also, she was on the civic integrity team and she was, according to Post Millennial. It will be an expose on her written by one of these. She was part of the team that censored the Hunter Biden laptop story. So this is all very, very interesting how it all comes together. Oh really? How did you get that information? From the Post Millennial.

55:55 I mean, the Postmillennial is not the New York Times, but maybe that's why it has more chance of being true. Let me see where they get this from. She's just a bad actor. I think they planted her. They planted her. And notice that right after the election, they did away with that whole division. So she was pretty much out of a job. But I think, you know, mission accomplished. Get ready for the next phase. You will be called and you will have to go and do all this and she did it. She's doing a good job. She'll show up on some NGO as a social media expert. Probably on VH1, behind the music. Something will happen. She won't be on VH1. Did you have any President Biden stuff on what happened here?

56:43 No, no, I thought you did. I thought you had something. I got a lot of Biden stuff, but it's mostly just him Who knows what he's talking about half the time? I guess he he Will play the Biden stuff when you're ready. Yeah, I guess maybe along with with this story the only other thing that's kind of interesting is there was a massive hack of twitch twitch and which is where people mainly watch people do video games and stuff. It's the Voyeur thing. And what came out of it is really fascinating. I think they have the top 10,000 or top 1,000 earners on Twitch with aggregate numbers for the past 20... Yeah, I think that actually is your agent calling. You have an offer from Twitch.

57:35 So, um, not only was all, I mean, just the whole system apparently was hacked and released and, uh, including source code for stuff, uh, projects that no one knew about. But then this list, let me see if it is the top 1000. It's the, Oh, it's the top 10,000. Holy crap. Are you back with me? Yeah. So this is a 24 month period. Uh, the 10 thousands. highest earner on Twitch is so in two years time made $23,520 it's not bad. It's not bad at all video games now Let's go to the number one now. These are also these are channels so that that can be multiple people on one channel kind of like a YouTube channel a critical role is number one and man in Well, they did pretty good didn't they?

58:33 In 24 months, they did $9.6 million. We're in the wrong business. No, we're way in the wrong business. Hey, you know, we could have been billionaires if you hadn't convinced me that Bitcoin was a beanie baby. Hey, if I had convinced myself it was a good idea back when it was 25 cents, we wouldn't be talking. Oh, really? Oh, and two, Brutus. Just like that. He gets paid, he's off. You're gonna leave me high and dry. So that's actually interesting. It's less than I thought it would be. You thought nine million was less than you thought it would be? In a 24-month period, in two years. So that's 4.5 million a year. So it's like, what are we talking? Playing video games? Yeah, no, it's fantastic. It's just, it's a little less than I thought. What's interesting overall, no one is saying, oh, screw those guys. They're making so much money. Everyone loves it.

59:33 It's very interesting. The response is kind of the opposite of what you might expect from an expose of money. Also... Yeah, that's an interesting point. You know? So they're more proud and say, well, they do, they work hard for that money. Go ahead, John. Go ahead and say it. I play video games all day. Go ahead and say it. Come on. Yeah. Many Twitch people are also an OnlyFans. Of course, that pays more. This is more the... But it is a version of value for value. You know, a lot of these streamers also get to have a contract with Twitch themselves. I just thought that was kind of interesting as an aside as we're talking about it. The most important piece of content that crossed my desk in the past couple of days regarding the COVID, but really at this point

1:00:35 were more about mandates and... mandates. I think that's... mandates and passports. But there's a piece of video that showed up from a C-SPAN. It was a C-SPAN special. Bless you. It's from 2019, from November 2019, and you can watch the whole video. Because what happened is this video starts to go viral. It's about a minute, a minute 40. And so there's edits in it. So I'm like, oh, really? There's edits in here. I've got to see what's going on because it's so easy to make things look really shitty when you're editing. And so I watched the full program and it's a true representation of what is being said. This is the Milken Institute in 2019. Hold on. I have the names of the perpetrators who were here.

1:01:27 These were Anthony Fauci, Michael Spector, journalist from The New Yorker, also adjunct professor of bioengineering at Stanford University. And Rick Bright, the director of Health and Human Services Biomedical Advanced Research. Rick Bright? Yes. That's the guy who keeps cropping up as a whistleblower. Well, that was the so-called whistleblower, if you recall. Do you remember? He's back in the news. He's done something else recently. He's, well he's in this video. He was from BARDA. If you recall BARDA is where Trump kicked him out I think. Yeah the guy's a bad, well I'm not gonna say he's a bad actor because I don't know. We don't know. We don't know. But he was in play. He's definitely cropping up a lot bitching and moaning about things. He was in play. Now what they're talking about here is

1:02:20 a universal flu vaccine. This is November 2019. So already people were... excuse me? I was gonna say that the universal flu vaccine which we have actually talked about on our show many times, you don't remember it. Yeah I do. Back in 20 like 2015. Mm-hmm sure. No, of course we have because this is what the mission has always been. They've always been saying, oh, the universal flu vaccine. Yeah, one and done. Yeah, one and done. That'll be the day, by the way. So listen to this convo. Who the hell wants that? Listen to this convo they were having about how could we really get to that moment in time without waiting the pesky 10 years

1:03:04 10 years to get a vaccine approved. Oh, what could we come up with? Why don't we blow the system up? I mean, obviously we can't just turn off the spigot on the system we have. New information has come to light. What? It's the same voice. No, it's not. I'm telling you. Okay, well, we'll play it. Here we go. I've got information, man! New shit has come to life! Why don't we blow the system up? I mean, obviously we can't just turn off the spigot on the system we have and then say, hey, everyone in the world should get this new vaccine we haven't given to anyone yet. But there must be some way that... We grow vaccines mostly in eggs the way we did in 1947. In order to make the transition,

1:03:54 from getting out of the tried and true egg growing, which we know gives us results that can be beneficial. I mean, we've done well with that, to something that has to be much better. You have to prove that this works, and then you've got to go through all of the clinical trials, phase ones, phase twos, phase three, and then show that this particular product is going to be good over a period of years. That alone, if it works perfectly, is going to take a decade. There might be a need or even an urgent call for an entity of excitement out there that's completely disruptive, that's not beholden to bureaucratic strings and processes. So we really do have a problem of how the world perceives influenza, and it's going to be very difficult to change that

1:04:50 unless you do it from within and say, I don't care what your perception is, we're going to address the problem in a disruptive way and in an iterative way because you do need both. But it is not too crazy to think that an outbreak of a novel avian virus could occur in China somewhere. We could get the RNA sequence from that, beam it to a number of regional centers if not local, if not even in your home at some point, and print those vaccines on a patch and self-administer. And there you have it. There you have it. Finally proof the responsibility for coronavirus is clearly the gays.

1:05:36 That's a gay that guy that guy he's the one he did it I think it would be great just have everyone we could just have it since you we'd have a virus in China and we print it up and you'd minister the badge These people are sick sick sick sick sick sick and And after no flu, no flu. How much flu? No flu. There was no flu. Flu was gone. We couldn't measure it. It was all COVID, cough, corona. Watch out, says the CDC director. This week, CDC has started collecting data for our full weekly influenza surveillance report, which we will start publishing online beginning on October 15th.

1:06:21 and continue throughout the flu season. Each week, we publish comprehensive data on outpatient influenza-like illness, laboratory-confirmed hospitalizations, and influenza-related deaths. Last year, there were very few flu cases, largely because of masking and physical distancing and other prevention measures put in place for the COVID-19 pandemic. With modest flu virus activity since March of 2020, CDC's flu experts are concerned that reduced population level immunity to the seasonal flu could place us at risk for a potentially severe flu season this year.

1:06:59 The symptoms of flu can often be familiar to those similar to those with COVID-19. Oh did you hear the gasp? No, I did not. Here it comes. Could place us at risk for a potentially severe flu season this year. The symptoms of flu can often be familiar to those similar to those with COVID-19. Familiar, similar. Similar, familiar. What? And she's rattled by this. She realizes, she's like, oh crap, why did I say similar or familiar? Instead of similar. Why did him say that? Because of course he was thinking whatever you do don't say familiar That was probably the original text familiar and that means that Familiar is it exactly the same? I mean spike proteins in my blood is the same as influenza and she's rattled listen how she stumbles over everything that comes after this could place us at risk for a potentially severe flu season this year and

1:08:02 The symptoms of flu can often be familiar to those similar to those with COVID-19, which can lead to additional needs for flu and COVID testing and isolation for either of the diseases, especially in schools. And even as average daily COVID hospitalizations are decreasing, we continue to see many hospitals and intensive care units across the country at full capacity. Yeah, yeah, so, uh, yes. Yeah, this, this thing, this scam is coming apart at the seams, but they're doing a pretty good job of maintaining, I think. Well, now go ahead. I do have a clip. I have some COVID clips. Okay.

1:08:47 But I also have the Rand Paul going after that HHS guy in Congress. I mean, I hesitate. I mean, for me, COVID clips, it's almost like we need to, I think we only need to focus on just the bullshit. It's not even about the disease anymore. Well, I got the bullshit clip of the day. We don't have a clip for that. We only have clip of the day, not bullshit clip of the day. No, I'm not asking for the jingle. No, you're not getting any jingles. You already slapped me down on the jingles today. So here we go. Now this is it. Now I'm going to give you a setup on this. We have seen, you know, we always bitch about China and they're bastards. They're just a bunch of totalitarians. And now that New Zealand has gone into that same mode where they had one loan case and they don't know what to do, shut down the whole country.

1:09:39 China says, you know, we have not been as strict as we could be just currently when we have some political reasons to do so. Listen to this report on the COVID BS in China. Let's turn to an update on the pandemic. A number of tourists are trapped in China's Xinjiang region right now. For them, what was supposed to be a vacation has turned into mandatory quarantine. That's after local authorities found two asymptomatic cases in the area. Xinjiang is located in northwestern China. It's home to 12 million Uyghurs, members of an ethnic minority group. It's also a popular tourism destination, especially during the first week of October, known as China's Golden Week holiday.

1:10:20 The occasion coincides with China's National Day, marking the anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party's rise to power. But things took a turn for Xinjiang vacationers after two people there tested positive for the CCP virus, which causes COVID-19. Both were asymptomatic. Stop! Where's this report from that they said the CCP virus? This is an anti-China station! Yes, NTD. Okay, just one picture. New Tank Dynasty. But a couple of things you gotta know. It's not over. It's not over. I want to play the whole clip. No, I know, but a couple of things you should know. There's two asymptomatic people. I don't know why they tested them or what the deal was. That's crazy. It's bullcrap. This is bullcrap. They shut down because there's a competitive

1:11:02 It's a vacationing area where the Uyghurs are. They don't want anybody going there, let's face it. And so they shut the place down with this bullcrap story. I thought this was not covered anywhere by the way. This is what you do. Xinjiang vacationers, after two people there, tested positive for the CCP virus, which causes COVID-19. Both were asymptomatic. Authorities then asked tourists to not leave and to self-quarantine. Multiple cities soon canceled huge numbers of flights, while trains in one city completely halted service. A video posted online shows a road there has also shut down. And in the city where the virus cases were detected, authorities ordered a round of mass virus testing for all residents, over 30,000 people. Officials say all of those results came back negative, though they've already started a second round of testing. In other parts of Xinjiang, residents say they are not allowed to leave their homes.

1:11:57 Public transportation is on pause and many stores are closed. Local officials are now working to deliver food door-to-door. Yeah, it would be great if they could do that to Texas or Louisiana. They would love to! Yes, that would be the best thing ever. Of course. Florida in particular. We've, um... I think I have a Florida report too. Go on. Well, I was going to say we've seen so many definitions change throughout this pandemic. The definition of, um... vaccination, the definition of pandemic itself changed, even though they changed it once before for the swine flu, it wasn't enough change. We finally got some change. And here's a TikTok doctor, one of those great, almost like TikTok Dr. Kat. She talks a little fast, but there's an important, very important change we're making to the term immunity. I've been meaning to make a post about this for a while. It's gonna be a long one, so hang in. I strongly dislike this phrase, natural immunity, because using the word natural implies that it's superior.

1:12:55 Kind of like how we moved away from saying natural birth, we say unmedicated birth. And the word natural has been hijacked by the wellness industry to promote pseudoscience, cure-alls for various ailments just for profit. And the word immunity, especially to a lot of lay people, implies complete invincibility, complete elimination of risk of infection, when in fact no vaccines provide what is called sterilizing immunity. So I'm going to use the terms infection-induced immune response and vaccine-induced immune response. So we have to say infection-induced immunity. Instead of natural and you'll see this pop up everywhere. There's they're not gonna say natural immunity anymore on the m5m I know who they will you saying that the m5m I Well, maybe because if you listen to this report, this is not a report. This is a three-parter This is Ron Paul going after this creepy guy the HHS secretary, but Sarah whatever his name is who just looks he's this is like a

1:13:50 Pud face looking guy was just like got the dumb grin on his face all the time. He's he's got no knowledge of anything He's just some lawyer. What was the Controversy what was the issue? It was about natural immunity You mean infection-induced immunity. Yeah, I'm not you can use it I'm gonna stick with the real term and because Rand Paul is a doctor and I'm not and so Rand Paul decides to go after this guy about this about the nonsense and this is Rand Paul versus HHS-1. Israeli study that had 2.5 million patients and and found that the vaccinated group was actually seven times more likely to get infected with COVID than the people who had gotten COVID naturally.

1:14:36 Senator, I have to get back to you on that one. I'm not familiar with that study. Well, you think you might want to be if you're going to travel the country insulting the millions of Americans, including NBA star Jonathan Isaac, who have had COVID, recovered. Look at a study with 2.5 million people and say, well, you know what? It looks like my immunity is as good as a vaccine or not. In a free country, maybe I ought to be able to make that decision. Instead, you've chosen to travel the country calling people like Jonathan Isaac and others, myself included, Flat Earthers. We find that very insulting. It goes against the science. Are you a doctor or a medical doctor? I have worked over 30 years on health policy. You're not a medical doctor. Do you have a science degree?

1:15:17 And yet you travel the country calling people flat earthers who have had COVID, looked at studies of millions of people and made their own personal decision that their immunity they naturally acquired is sufficient. But you presume somehow to tell over 100 million Americans who have survived COVID We have no right to determine our own medical care. You alone are on high and you've made these decisions, a lawyer with no scientific background, no medical degree. This is an arrogance coupled with an authoritarianism that is unseemly and un-American. You, sir, are the one ignoring the science. The vast preponderance of scientific studies, dozens and dozens show robust, long-lasting immunity after COVID infection.

1:16:07 Even the CDC does not recommend measles vaccine if you have measles immunity. The same was true for smallpox. But you ignore history and science to shame the flat earthers as you call them. You should be ashamed of yourself and apologize to the American people for being dishonest about naturally acquired immunity. You want more people to choose vaccination? So do I. You want to lessen vaccine hesitancy? So do I. You want to have that happen? Quit lying to people about naturally acquired immunity. Quit lording it over people, acting as if these people are deplorable and unwashed. Try persuasion instead of government cudgels.

1:16:51 Try humility instead of arrogance. Try freedom instead of coercion. But most of all, try understanding that there's no more basic medical right than deciding what we inject into our bodies. So, you still there? Yeah, I'm just... No comment. It's grandstanding. Oh, you think? Yeah, it gets a little annoying at a certain point. Well, he's pretty good. I, well, you may not like him, but I think he as I like Rand Paul, I don't like the grandstand. He should never become president, but I think as a grandstander, because he just sits there and insults people. I just think it's fantastic. Pretty easy target.

1:17:33 Yeah, well, this guy is trying to make a comeback here. I'll play part two and you get the comeback. He's gonna stand up for himself here. Today, after millions of people in a study prove, show without a doubt that there's a great deal of immunity from getting it naturally, do you want to apologize to the 100 million Americans who suffered through COVID, survived, have immunity, and yet you want to hold them down and vaccinate them? Do you want to apologize for calling those people flat earthers? Senator, I appreciate your question and appreciate that everyone has their opinion. We follow the facts and the science at HHS. We use the expertise of the medical professionals, the scientists at HHS to make decisions. It's a team effort and we rely on what is on the ground showing us results. Except for the dozens and dozens of studies, in fact

1:18:24 Most, if not all of the studies show robust immunity from getting the disease naturally. The CDC says if you've had measles and have immunity, you don't have to be vaccinated. The same was true of smallpox. You're selectively doing this because you want us to submit to your will. You have no scientific background, no scientific degrees, and yet you aren't really concerned about 100 million Americans who had the disease. You just want to tell us do as you're told. That's what you're telling us. You want to mandate this on all of us. You're going to tell us if I have 100 employees, you're going to put me out of business with a $700,000 fine if I don't obey what you think is a science. Don't you understand that it's presumptuous for you to be in charge of all the science? Have you ever heard of a second opinion? He goes on. Can I, can I, I need to say something. First of all, I am a little insulted.

1:19:15 And I ran Paul well by both these gentlemen talking about flat earthers Everybody knows flat earth has already moved on to circuit board earth, okay? So when you're up to skateboard earth now, okay? Well this should be second half of show stuff, but I'm just throwing it out there I'm not ready to present. I'm just saying I was in I was insulted well I'm just getting out of crater earth now I Rand Paul goes into this thing about submission and it goes right back to my column about fealty. Yes. Which is what's at play here. Yes, and I have some clips to follow this up after your last one here. No, the last one's not needed. He just keeps pounding this guy and the guy sits there with a shit-eating grin. He's got this stupid smile on his face going, well, you know, we got our experts and you are entitled to your own opinion. But not your own facts!

1:20:10 So did he throw that out, but you have not nothing taking on fans no No, then you use it just taking it well staying up staying on the fealty tip where you dropped us off NPR had a very like a seven minute segment With the president of the Federation of State Medical Boards. So these how removed are these people from the boots on the ground? well, they are the association kind of like the yeah, like the the club of medical boards of states who determine regulations and licensing for doctors they are extremely powerful and

1:20:52 And this is all about what's going on with it. Ultimately, it's about ivermectin. I'm just going to cut straight to the chase. But let's see. It's all about ivermectin. Oh yeah, it's all about ivermectin. But let's see how this works. Remember, these are the people that really do have absolute power over the medical profession by de-licensing you. And here's an intro to the to the segment. It's here now. I'm sorry. It's here now. It's here now. And it's one thing when your hairdresser or that guy at the hardware store says vaccines don't work or 5G cell phone technology causes COVID. Both are lies. But what if it's you? By the way, I love she's doing voices. She's doing voices.

1:21:37 5G technology causes COVID. Vaccines don't work or 5G cell phone technology causes COVID. Both are lies. But what if it's your doctor saying them? The biggest disseminator of lies about COVID-19 is a doctor, Joe Mercola. And now the Federation of State Medical Boards is demanding action. They represent state organizations that license and discipline doctors and recently recommended that medical professionals who spread misinformation have their licenses revoked or suspended. And just this past weekend, the Oregon Medical Board did just that, revoking the license of Arthur Latulipe after he repeatedly told patients that masks don't work and they can cause carbon dioxide poisoning. They don't. So that's just the intro. This lady knows a lot.

1:22:25 The here now lady knows a lot about medicine and science and she's got all the facts straight. So let's really talk about what this means. When doctors speak I think there is a tendency to trust them and if there's misinformation or disinformation that can really impact a patient's decision if they're on the fence about whether or not to get a vaccine for example. So this is a very concerning matter to the state licensing board community because we want to make sure that at the end of the day the public is ultimately protected. Well and this isn't new. You're recommending fines and revoking licenses but that's the same thing you would do if what, if a licensed doctor was saying don't take insulin if you're a diabetic take this herb. You're absolutely right. Is that a fair equivalency?

1:23:14 Well, you know, the equivalency part was weird. You ended it so abruptly, that clip, you didn't lead me into it properly. Why don't you play that little ending again? So she's trying to, yeah, okay. I want to make sure that at the end of the day, the public is ultimately protected. Well, and this isn't new. You're recommending fines and revoking licenses, but that's the same thing you would do if, if what? If a licensed doctor was saying, don't take insulin. If you're a diabetic, take this herb. You're absolutely right. So that would be like a doctor saying, a licensed doctor saying, you have diabetes, don't take insulin, take this herb.

1:23:56 Yes, but the equivalency was never equivalented. Well, because they're talking about ivermectin without saying it until they finally get to it. The state of Washington has at least eight complaints about physicians who may be prescribing ivermectin, for example, inappropriately for COVID-19. Ivermectin, which is the dewormer, which is used for animals and has shown absolutely no ability to at all affect COVID-19 in humans. That's correct. So that's another area that's being looked at. Arkansas and Hawaii are two other states where the state licensing boards are investigating doctors for inappropriate prescribing of ivermectin. So it's all about ivermectin and they're taking people's licenses away. And she said, that's the horse dewormer that has absolutely no effect on people with COVID at any point. To which he said, that's correct. That is a lie.

1:24:52 Well, how does it account for the 60 plus studies that are available at IVMmeta.com? That's IVMmeta.com. And the 75 studies that are currently linked, the different 75 studies currently linked on the FDA website, which are underway. So she's full of shit, this woman. She should be off the air. She's the one who should have her license revoked. And it's interesting because this is what the Canadians, we notice this because we have clips of all these Canadian doctors who couldn't say anything about anything, just follow the rules, do no treatment, let people die. And every time they bitch the Canadian boards up there, same thing, would sanction them and fine them. In fact,

1:25:42 People here in the medical profession, including the prostitutes, Leanna Wynn, Leanna Wynn would be one. She's the CNN spokeshole for the medical community, former Planned Parenthood director, former trauma doctor in Boston, was there at the Boston bombing. She gets around. She thinks we should all be just like Canada. And so does the CNN lady. Canada just issued a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for anyone over the age of 12 traveling on a plane or a train. We've spoken about this idea before. I wonder what's a better strategy, playing to someone's fear using that kind of marketing campaign we just showed or making the vaccine a requirement for more things like traveling. Should the U.S. be more like Canada?

1:26:28 Yes, we should. We really need every tool at our disposal at this point. We've already tried incentives, we tried outreach and education. We should continue doing that. But at this point, vaccine requirements are the way to go. Vaccine requirements in workplaces, as we've seen, have been very effective. And I also think that for domestic travel, for interstate travel, for planes, trains, interstate buses, things that are within the jurisdiction of President Biden at the federal government, I really do think that it's time to put those requirements to first. It's going to make planes and train travel a lot safer, but also especially with holidays coming, it will be a powerful incentive for people to say, look, you can stay unvaccinated if you want, but you're not going to be able to travel to see your family. No family for you, Hitler.

1:27:18 Nazis! This is terrible. Now this brings us back to the Rand Paul clips where he goes on and on about the hundred million Americans who have natural immunity. Why are they required to get these, this, the shot? The Nazis say so! And she's gonna look good when I shave her head and march her naked down the streets. You and your wishful thinking. This is wishful thinking. I'm just repeating history. That's what you do with collaborators. Well, here's the... Again. Again what again? Wishful thinking. No, this is... I will witness the day when we shave these people's heads and march them naked down Main Street for collaborating. Who are they collaborating with? With the whole system. The whole system. If you're out there harming humans with this... I mean, how can you sit there and... Listen to what she said!

1:28:16 You should not be able to see your family. I'm sorry. Head shave now. Just for saying that. Yeah, I'm not going to argue with you with your sentiments. You just don't think it's going to happen. I'm saying it's going to happen. That's the difference. This was a 14 second clip which explains it very well. A California registered nurse who quit. her job because of the vaccine mandate. Listen carefully, because it's hard to parse. Why do the protected need to be protected from the unprotected by forcing the unprotected to use the protection that didn't protect the protected in the first place? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's it. That is literally it. And I want it on a T-shirt. That's a good, that's a good, it sounds like a poem.

1:29:06 It's a haiku. I think it may be a haiku. No, it's definitely not a haiku. Uh, see, nothing. We're going to take a break. There's a couple other just throwaway stories, although this was not uninteresting. While COVID cases and hospitalizations declined nationwide, the demand for at-home tests is surging. But today, a company that manufactures some of these test kits, Allume, recalled nearly 200,000 due to concerns over false positives. The kits were widely available to consumers and also provided to the U.S. Department of Defense. I can't wait for Billy Boy to announce his new company with George. Gates and Soros, they bought a testing company, Lateral Flow. I'm just waiting for the stories, because then they say Lateral Flow. Yeah, Lateral Flow testing is really the gold standard. Can't wait for it. I have a clip that I don't know what it is, but I think we should play it before we take the break. Okay. This is Russians in the day.

1:30:05 Russians in the day. Genetic traces in the body of a young woman who died 7,000 years ago furnished the first clue that mixing between early humans in Indonesia and those from faraway Siberia took place much earlier than previously thought. Do you want this whole clip? No, you stop it. It's a funny clip though. I've just a few more... The Russians always got around. Oh, you had a punchline, sorry. There was, there's a joke in there, but... Well, there was some new information which Fauci launched, which is just, it almost feels like this, he's so desperate now, and it contradicts everything that took place in the past two years.

1:30:46 And we know because the dog taught us this. This is the same interview where he scared everybody about Christmas not being normal. But there's new information, man. New shit has come to light. There are two new studies out that show COVID's gotten better at transmitting through aerosols, just through the air. It's gotten better! It was training. It wasn't good at it. It was practicing. It had training wheels. It couldn't quite make... It would try to aerosolize. Where'd you get this clip? This is CBS. This is CBS with Fauci. The big Fauci interview. And he's about to throw some bullcrap on top of it. There are two new studies out that show COVID's gotten better at transmitting through aerosols, just through the air.

1:31:34 What does that mean? We're going into cold weather. We're going to the holidays. Do people need to start looking around and saying it's just too risky to gather with family members if they're unvaccinated children? Well, Margaret, I believe just the way the CDC has recommended that when you are in a situation where you have a dynamics of virus in the community, where there's clearly a lot of spread, even if you are vaccinated and you are in an indoor setting, a congregate setting, it just makes sense to wear a mask and to avoid high-risk situations. And what we should be doing is look at ventilation.

1:32:11 in indoor places. We know now that this is clearly spread by aerosol and when you have something spread by aerosol, you absolutely want more ventilation, which is the reason why outdoors is always much safer than indoors. If you are indoors, ventilation is going to be key. That's the reason why we really should be paying attention to that. Oh, then why did you send us indoors into lockdown? You're asking But she's not listening. I'm asking the world in general. We know now, we know now. Shit man, we knew this over a year ago. Lies. Just lies. Check around the world. How's everything going in the UK? In Britain this morning, more than 40,000 runners came out for the London Marathon. The first in two years. There's growing confidence that lethal COVID is in retreat.

1:33:14 Lethal COVID is in retreat. Not any old COVID, just the lethal kind. The lethal kind. Then we have COVID Down Under. Where's my COVID Down Under stuff? Oh crap. So Jacinda is horrible. Gosh, how can they re-elect this person? Just on looks alone, just to be superficial about it. Get her off my TV screen. the Prime Minister of New Zealand, is kind of, you know, I guess they conceded not in, with these words by saying, well, COVID zero is a dud, we can't actually do it, we're going to have to live with it. No, they came out with some wishy-washy thing and even as she was grilled, and I'm surprised by this journalist in New Zealand, it was a television interview, she, he was just,

1:34:12 just railroading the question like it's not working it's not working and she was she was not pushing back like I would expect her to. She kind of crumpled when it got a little too hot for her. Alright Prime Minister are you willing to admit now finally that Auckland isn't very unlikely to get to zero cases that COVID's with us now? Right, I'm not sure what you're asking for in an admission. What we've always strived for. What I would like, Prime Minister, is some certainty for Aucklanders because right now we're staring down the barrel of really no information on how we get out of this mess that we're in at the moment. So what I'm looking for you this morning, Prime Minister, is a mission that elimination isn't going to happen in Auckland. We are always going to have COVID here and if that is the case, at what point we might have some freedom back.

1:35:04 So, Brian, at 4 o'clock today we will be giving, setting out, after Cabinet has met this afternoon, setting out our roadmap for Auckland, our intention for Auckland, keeping in mind that we are in a space right now where we do need to continue to be really cautious. I've heard a lot of people talk solely about the option of simple alert level changes. We have more options available just to us than just that. So what we've been doing over the past few weeks is analysing some of the changes that could be made that pose less risk but also just help Aucklanders at this stage because we absolutely understand that the restrictions they've been living in are tough.

1:35:44 But what I'd also say, Ryan, is that right from the outset, the reason that we said seven weeks ago that we were striving for elimination was because we're in a position right now where we're still vaccinating people. So we weren't in a position where we could tolerate having a widespread uncontrolled outbreak. We just didn't have enough people that were vaccinated. Are we still striving for it now or not? We do still need to be... Sorry, Ryan. My friend I'm trying to answer your questions. With respect Prime Minister. It won't always be a simple yes or no. With respect you're not. We are still in the position of court, Ryan, we are still in the... And that just goes on and she never of course actually will say it but it's true they've failed. Right up the road there from New Zealand in Victoria the Chief Medical Officer

1:36:34 just stated the way it really is, what he really thinks about this and certainly the people who don't adhere and listen to orders. Let's not pretend that these are otherwise rational individuals. They're absolutely wacky. They're wacky! They're wacky. Yeah, they're wacky. Final clip for you. This is for you because you were right. This is about the incorrect administration of vaccination. I got a lot of feedback on this. A lot. People were like, finally someone's talking about this. Here, this is the very famous UK YouTube doctor and here he is confirming your assumption. Because I'm just at a loss of what to do about this and I think it's really important. I'm going to give evidence that we should be aspirating the needle before we give the injections. Basically, I think that most people in the UK and the United States are giving the vaccine injections wrongly.

1:37:31 Now what you should do when you're sticking a needle into a muscle, because it has to be an intramuscular injection so the needle's not that quite big on the back so you'd be sticking it in, then you should hold it like that and then what I always do is I draw back and if you draw back blood you know you're in a vessel so you would pull it out and change the needle and get a different sight. But that's not being done. So this is what can happen. So imagine you're giving the needle, you stick it into the muscle. So if you draw back and you're in the muscle, then no blood will come out. But if you're in a blood vessel, then you draw back and there you go, you know straight away you're in a blood vessel and you know not to inject it.

1:38:06 because he would then be giving this intravenously. That would be going straight into a vein, not into the muscle where it is supposed to go. So we're doing this wrong. Yes, and in addition to that I have collected thoughts from our producers. One, the vaccine is light and temperature sensitive. At least two agencies I have contact with are storing the vaccine on the counter in clinics for up to six hours. Two, Providers have to navigate complex storage rules. I guarantee they're not being stored at the appropriate temperature and may be rendered unusable before they're even drawn up and Pfizer has to be mixed in a very specific way. They are not doing it in that manner. Now this whole thing is a disaster. Yes! So, I mean with this information, they're not even getting the shots right.

1:39:00 This means that we're in much deeper trouble with our medical system than we thought. Yeah, when you have pharmacists that don't know what they're doing, you know, they're just sticking it in there. You see all the stuff on TV, they just stick and push. Yeah. Providers, John, providers. Do they not train the providers anymore? I mean, this, all of this is very concerning. They just take a needle, stick and push. All of this is very... Stick and push. Stick and push. There's a show title. No, you tried that the other show. It didn't stick or push. Well, I'm trying it again. Well, it's failing. Failing! But with that, I would like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the circuit board, Earth, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. John C. Dvorak.

1:39:47 In the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry. Yes. Also in the morning to all ships at sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and the dames and the knights out there. Very good. Those are old-fashioned reverb plates, ladies and gentlemen. I want you to know that this school, this podcast is old school that way. Big in the morning to the trolls over there in the troll room. Trollroom.io. How you guys doing? I'm yelling into a bucket. That's what we call a reverb plate, Chuck. In fact, it's not actually a bucket. It's one of these... It's not even a bucket bucket. It's a... it's got... it's the lightning bolt sound effect machine. And on the back of it... Oh, interesting. So I could probably do this similar sound with a bongo drum. Fascinating.

1:40:48 Hey, trolls, let's count you guys. Let's see how many are hanging out today in the troll room. Okay, let's see what we got. All right, everybody, hands up, you trolls. They scurry away. 2,069. We're above the 2,000 on Thursday. I think over 2,000 is good. We'd like to see over 22, but it doesn't matter because you're here and you're live with us. Go to trollroom.io to join them. And it's basically just a chat room. There's nothing special about it except it's filled with trolls. This is what makes it so special. And people can sit there, troll each other, troll the show. Sometimes they come up with good information, which I can use, one-liners, which I always use without crediting. It's great. You get what you put into it, trolls. And that is, of course, part of No Agenda.

1:41:31 Stream.com where we have all of these cool podcasts playing out 24-7 with many live interruptions for live shows and live and tune in Thursdays and Sundays early for Darren O'Neill's rock and roll pre-stream. It's a hoot. Get you in the mood. You can also follow John and myself at noagendasocial.com. I have a note here. So noagendasocial.com, you can no longer sign up for it. We kept it at max 10,000 because you need to distribute these types of networks. And the Federation, which we're part of, it's a Mastodon server, can be accessed by any other server in the Federation. And you can follow me, Adam, at noagendasocial.com or John C. Dvorak at noagendasocial.com. And everything will start to flow as the conversations start to go back and forth.

1:42:17 It's a really cool system and Sir Tom from Down Under has kindly offered for anyone who can't afford infrastructure, he will set you up with a server so you can run your own Mastodon server. So contact me for details. Although if you put it on the noagendasocial.com, it's a lot easier. But of course, you have to an account that you catch 22. So contact me and Sir Tom has been very kind to set up instances for people, which is great expanding things. Yes, then we need to thank the artist for episode 1387. We titled this Clippers and Whittlers and after much conversation, much discussion, we came up with Kenny Ben as the winner with the Instagram cigarette pack. It was a very contentious meeting. The art meeting was rough.

1:43:12 Yeah, it was because you vetoed everything I suggested. Well, and I will explain what I vetoed, which was only one, and why. You were immediately, totally, in love, upside down, smitten with something that's on page two, I think. No, it's Mountain J's piece. It's right next to the, right above the cigarette pack. Okay. Mountain J did a three-piece Oh, it's to the right, yes. Okay, this was the You Must Comply, We Believe, No Agenda. A beautiful piece, because I said this is really a fantastic piece. However, too small for what it's doing. Because when you take it down to 256, which is the standard size that everyone will see, you couldn't understand it. You didn't see the beautiful detail of the No Agenda t-shirts on the goat, the mask wrapped around people's faces.

1:44:13 It was a beautiful piece, but it was too much for the size. And I think you agree with me. Well, I mean, I didn't have any trouble with the cigarette pack. No. It was actually, it went between the... No, you did actually. You didn't like the way the lettering was off-center. Oh, right. Exactly. We're supposed to discuss this. Yes, if you blow up the piece, he's got this contains 33 something and it's not centered. Why? It's off-centered. Is this like a joke about some cigarette pack where all the stuff's not centered? I don't get it. And it's like it was galling.

1:44:57 The Parker-Pauly nail clipper was a serious contender. Yes, the Parker-Pauly nail clipper... Was a contender! Was actually in play. Yes, in play as we say. It was in play, but it was like... And in fact, it may have won because of this centering issue that they had. We actually thought it was better. It was a better piece of art. I mean, everything had something wrong with it. It would have popped more. Oh, it would have popped like crazy. Yeah. But those are the three pieces that were in contention. And we really appre... And Mrs. Kenny Benn, who is a she...

1:45:36 It's Kendra, which finally I remember. We have a lot of she's doing our men don't necessarily like our show But they like to do art who says they don't like our show. I think women love our show kidding I'm kidding. No we I think our audience is probably at least half women it Yeah, since the pandemic a few of them don't like the show because of my voice. No, I got an email specifically specifically And and it was a subject did you see this the subject line was that it was just a subject line no no text in the body John has a sexy voice so maybe the woman who hates my voice that did Dutch gal Which Dutch gal hates your voice? Oh, I remember from the donation about that or something yeah some Dutch woman who hated my voice and she won't listen to the show because of my voice and

1:46:29 Bugs her. I don't know this to be true. It could be just Dutch women. That's a possibility. Well, it's not like you don't rape their language. Maybe. That might be a connection there, but I doubt it because if she doesn't listen to the show, she wouldn't even know that. Could be a connection. Thank you Kendra, Kenny Ben for winning. It was great and it was a good piece. Despite the small technical things, it conveyed so perfectly what was going on. Even more relevant this week based upon what's going on. So in fact a bit of an art piece from the future.

1:47:08 Yeah, and you can see all of these if you're using a podcasting 2.0 app Which you can find a new you could actually just just try a new podcast app. It's not gonna hurt you It won't ruin your other app. You can always fire up that piece of crap You're using go to new podcast apps calm and I have a little bit of information about podcasting 2.0 Has it come to light it has come to light this new information. Yes. It actually has come to light and You know what? Everyone is all jacked about Spotify. Spotify! Spotify's gonna take over. Spotify's gonna have all podcasting has to be on Spotify! And of course we're not on Spotify because we immediately saw the license and said no we're not gonna give you the rights to make money off of our show, screw up our everything. So they have these they talk a big game. Just so you know 21%

1:48:03 of our users engaged with podcast content. This was a big story in their numbers. Oh, podcasting is a success because 21% of users have engaged with podcast content on the platform. But when asked, what exactly does engagement mean? I've always wanted to know what engagement means. Do you know what engagement means in the context? Clicked on something? Almost. Here's the company answer on Spotify when a monthly average user So that's someone who I guess uses it at least once a month has consumed a podcast contents for greater than zero milliseconds in the last 30 days from period and indicated that's terrible so in other words

1:49:00 At the end of something, it played the beginning of a podcast and you turn it off and the counter does an engagement. How about that? It's pathetic. So what else is pathetic is for some unknown reason, this dog here waits until the donation segment It has to go out. This dog has never done this before. Is this a new dog? No, never. This is weird, but I'm going to have to go do that. And you can start reading. He's starting with John Bulger. But is he holding up a sign? How do you know? I mean, how is it different all of a sudden? If you had a dog, you'd know. They make a lot of noise. I hate dogs. With that, we will thank some of our executive producers and associate executive producers. And we start off, as John already said, with John Bulger.

1:49:53 And I'll go right to reading his note. Parts Unknown in the US. In the morning, John and Adam, please accept this donation of $1,012.70. Very nice. For a damehood for my smoking hot wife of 17 years who is celebrating her 51st trip around the sun on October 12th. I'm grateful to her for her unending support, for our four human resources, and for hitting me in the mouth last June. I would like her to have the title of Dame Julie Bunny the Hostafarian. For jingles, please ask Adam to play Just Get Vaccinated and No! and A Don't Enslave Me Kamala. No, I didn't see the A Don't Enslave Me Kamala, but we have plenty of opportunity to get that one for you.

1:50:43 Fine, I'd like to request karma and a deducing for her. Let's get the deducing in there. You've been deduced. Please do not deduce me since being a douchebag may be the only chance I get of getting near a woman's nether parts if she doesn't like her dame name. Holy crap. I hope I hope it all works out for you. Thanks for making the best podcast in the universe from John the Unde-douchable. We'll see about that. Get vaccinated. No. Don't enslave me, Camilla. I will throw in the karma for you. You've got karma. There it is. Are you back? He's not.

1:51:33 We go on to Dame Julian. Ah, here we go. Dame Julian, Duchess of Bastrop County, who supports the show with $500. Her support, they don't even have to top up anything for years. She was the Insta-Duchess, as you may recall. And I really want to wait until John comes back to share this note with him, because this is about the big meetup that's taking place on the 16th. So come back to that in a moment and we'll go on to Richard Bamsberger, or Bamsberger, but he's in the US, for 2022. I recognize that kind of amount.

1:52:10 I considered donating $3.33, leaving myself a day late and a dollar short, but then thought, no, no, no, don't be a douchebag and went to this. This should take me over the brink. Please dub me Sir Rick of the Purple Sage. No jingles, no karma. Y'all rock. Well, thank you very much. And he didn't even ask for anything at the round table. We will see you there, Richard. Thank you very much. Baronet Sir Dan the Man. Haven't heard from Sir Dan the Man in a bit. He's in Cape Coral, Florida. $366.55. This amount is made up of $300 for executive producer credit. With the remainder in honor of my 55th birthday on this day, the 7th in 1966, I'd like to call up my co-worker Jamie as a douchebag. Please give me a birthday biscuit, some LGY and some goat karma. Stay safe my brothers. Baronet, Sir Dan, the protector of Cape Coral and the islands of Sanibel and Captiva. They always give me a biscuit on my birthday. You've got karma.

1:53:14 Didn't have the yay in there. Hit me with the yay, children. Yay! There we go. Sander Lienberg in Paterswolde in the Netherlands. 33333. It is the executive producer donation. Everybody should be an executive producer of a media property at least once in their life and Sander has grabbed that opportunity. First of all, big thanks for being a beacon of sanity in the world which is mass contaminated with the emperor's new clothes syndrome. Yeah, indeed. Your weekly deconstructions, insights and humor have a tremendous value for me, which I'd like to return in the spirit of the much appraised value for value model by this donation. Exactly how it's supposed to work, value for value. You get the show, if it's valuable to you, only you can determine how valuable that is. And you turn that into a number and send that value right back to us.

1:54:05 As Sondra continues, not completely unexpected, this will also buy me a seat at the round table. No, you don't buy one. You are rewarded. You are awarded that because you deserve it. The seat at the round table, which I would appreciate, and I'd like a Pappy Van Winkle and foie gras to be there. Yes, I've pre-ordered that. Hence I shall be known, henceforth I shall be known as Serpents of the Padre Woods. Serpents, serpents, serpents, p-e-n-t-s, serpents. of the Padre Woods. A small... Serpent. Serpents, yes. Serpents. A small douchebag shoutout for my little sis Kim. And Freedom Fighter Nils Nzinga who joined the Guild of Noah's Agenda listeners recently. Thank you for your courage, no jingles, no karma. And thank you Sondra and we will see you...

1:54:54 on the podium in a little bit. John, I skipped over Dame Julie and Duchess of Bastrop County because this is, she's donated $500 more again to the show, but this is regarding the big meetup in Bastrop on the 16th and I think we need to discuss this together. Did you read her notes? I have not, I'm going to read it now. I can read it. Go for it. Since I'm the one who seems to be exaggerating what's going to happen. Well, no. She's still going to have the dunking tank, don't worry. I'm confused because I thought that the Renaissance Fair in Houston was cancelled because they're going to have jousting and those giant mutton legs at the meet up. I thought it was Honcha venison. What does she say?

1:55:40 Okay, well Dame, yes Dame Julian, the Insta Duchess of Bastrop County with $500 says, thank you for all of your help promoting the Bastrop County Homestead Party Meetup on October 16th. We're super excited that Adam and Tina will be there. We wish that John and Mimi could also join, but since we already have over 170 people who have RSVP'd, we're not sure our little homestead could handle this crowd. They have another place that's bigger. That crowd that would swarm here if both no agenda hosts attended. The rumors of our party have been greatly exaggerated. We are totally going to have all of the entertainment you previously mentioned. Oh no! But we decided to cancel the jugglers, the roller coaster, the marching band, the hot air balloon, etc.

1:56:32 We use those funds to donate to the best podcast in the universe instead. Wise decision. Very wise. Roller coasters are too much to set up anyway. And if someone dies, it's a lot of paperwork. We may run out of food, but when Texas... There's no liability in Texas. They die too bad. Just feed them to the armadillos. We may run out of food, but we promise to have plenty of PBR mead. and Mio Me. Yeah. The cheap Pino to go around. Hey, Laura Logan's heard about the meetup. She's on her way for the meal. My we're also really excited to have the band. The band free local honey is the name of the band perform. We encourage all to get monetion to check them out on Spotify. Their song Google it is a favorite in our house. Hold on a second. You mean

1:57:29 Has it pushed out Bing It? The Bing It song over Google It? Google It. This is really quite an outrage. We'll do a little comparison. Here is the official song. No, that's not it. Okay, so this is called Local... What's the name of the band? Local Honey. Local Fresh Honey or something like that. Fresh Local Honey. Fresh Local Honey. Fresh Local Honey. Oh, I don't want to check this band out. Oh, here it is. Oh, they have a podcast too. Oh, doesn't everyone? But do they have money? I mean, I don't see any... Google it. Yeah, but that's not here. They have a podcast. Why does... How stupid is Spotify? When I'm looking for a song, they're showing me podcasts.

1:58:30 Because they figure you're a podcast you want to only hear podcasts. That's what you do I don't think I can find them on here here. We go free local, honey. Okay hold on a second Let me get let me get this shiznit up and running here here. We go. Let's see Spotify so convenient Okay, I got it. It'll be fun. It's about the lyrics with these guys. They're gonna be fun. They're gonna be crazy good

1:59:08 Well, I hate to say it, but I think Bing It's got a little more life to it. I think, compared to what I just heard... I'm with you. I think the Bing It song is a little more snappy than the Google It, but I'm open. I'm open to it because I'm looking forward to the band. see many of you on the 16th. Thank you for your courage, Dame Julian. And we're very excited about this. Very excited. Lots of people are coming. So this would be super cool. And even though he didn't ask for it, there's probably a lot of them listening to the show. I would say that this would be a good time for Adam to collect some donations directly. So make sure to put them in an envelope with a note and your name. Yes, yes. And Adam will be roaming around. If you see Adam or Tina, just give them the envelope and then

1:59:57 Please a hearty handshake and please whatever you give us Please make sure it's an envelope and if it's sharp put on this let us know so we know Don't put sharp objects Pick it up with Rob number seven there Robin.

I'm no longer a douchebag. Please add me to the birthday list. I turned 40 today, October 7th. Can I get some Sharpton and goat karma? Love the show. He never asked for a de-douching. Well, I'm going to give it to him anyway. You've been de-douched. I'll give you a little bit of Sharpton and your goat karma.

What's the dog's name?

2:01:40 Uh, Rozzy. Rozzy. Did, uh, was it number one or number two? You know, this is what the dog, these dogs are all the same. They fight. Yeah. They look for an edge. An edge? Yeah, they're always looking. Like an advantage? Like an advantage? Here's an example. So some months back, The dog, uh... I forgot how this worked, but the dog had to go out at like 10.30 at night. And I usually would like to see her go out at 11.30, that's where she sleeps through the night, but she gets out at 11.30 and I made the stupid, the stupid decision to give her a treat when she came back in. So next thing you know, about 45 minutes later, she's gotta go out again. Because she wants a damn treat.

2:02:30 She's doing this to get the treat. So I gave her another treat and then I said, let me just check this. Boom. Another half hour goes by. The dog has to go out again. She would have gone out all night if she kept getting treats. I just stopped giving her treats and she didn't have to go out anymore. Basic psychology, John. Damn. How long have you had this dog? This dog, I don't know what's going on. It's very weird. I'm a little jarred by it because we've never had dog breaks. I've never seen this happen before. It's happened... It didn't happen last time. Second time, no. Second time. What happens when we get a dog? We... Like the show will come to a grinding halt. Well, yeah, because you're such a sucker for probably the dog will have you wrapped around its paw. Shifty of the key. Quay. Is it... Oh, that's how I pronounce Quay key, but okay. Quay? I think it's Fuquay.

2:03:31 Okay, I see Fuqua now. Fuqua... I don't... I don't know. I... Why do I remember? I think there was a pronunciation guide that came in and I guarantee you were messing this up. It's Fuqua, you dumb... you dumb... you guys dumb guys. You guys not talking right. You... Fuqua. Well, he wants to start by saying thank you all for your courage. We appreciate the hours of sanity you provide weekly during these troublesome times. I was hitting the mouth back in April 2020 when my friend Nick said, stop fighting with these people on Facebook. You'll never change their minds. Exactly. He schooled me to the No Agenda podcast and I've been hooked ever since.

2:04:08 Just a few months of listening to the show I found myself closing all my social media accounts. Now I just use the no agenda formula of hitting people in the mouth regularly and stay away from the propaganda. Speaking of that, I'd like to call out Jordan... and Brandon... for being a couple of douchebag freeloaders. Anyhow, my smoking hot wife works for a major hospital here in North Carolina, so we have the inside scoop since the beginning of this scam-demic. I've had access to medical coding and billing. She could see what was being done to COVID patients and how it was being billed.

2:04:45 Thank goodness she wasn't allowed a religious exemption at work and won't be forced into being a part of the great experiment. The major financial firm I work for hasn't forced the jab on me yet but encourages everyone to let them know of their current status with vaccination. Yes, the attestation. This year I was diagnosed with testicular cancer and I'm sitting here at the hospital decked out in no agenda gear from the shop while being administered chemotherapy like a fucking boss. So I'm gonna need some cancer karma. Yes, the F cancer karma. Adam, can you find some good night left nut for me? Oh shit. This guy's humorous. Yes, of course I can find that. Good night left nut. There's nothing like it when you're doing chemo for your nuts.

2:05:33 I like your style, ma'am. Uh, oh, he says, could you pay... Could you play... I guess better. Could you play goodnight left nut for me? Cause I kinda miss him from time to time. But don't cry for me, Argentina. I'll have you know my junk still works and the doctor said I'll be able to get right back to not satisfying my wife just like normal. I'm pushing to become a knight by the end of the year. So please hit me with some boogity, boogity, boogity, amen and a screw your freedom slash no for jingles. Oh my God. John, continue reading this because I don't have all of these jingles that he asked for. I want to set it all up here. Okay, I got it. Fair worries. Argentina, la la la.

2:06:13 Boogity, boogity, First Amendment rights for... Okay, thank you for... I love what you're doing for podcasting and our First Amendment rights. He's talking about podcasting 2.0. You will see... We all see it and that's what makes you the podfather. John, I love hearing you pronounce Ah, here it is. Hometown in Fuquay, Verena in North Carolina. Please continue keeping Adam at bay when he goes off the deep end, which is often and common. And don't forget to stay safe. Oh man. Thanks to you. Thanks to you are the best podcast in the universe from, uh,

2:07:00 Shifty, Shifty of the Quay. Shifty of the Quay. Shifty! Or the K. He's $333 from him. Here we go. Good night, Left Nuts. Screw your freedom. No. You've got karma. Funny note man. Thank you. Good luck with that. Good luck. Yeah, especially stress. Yeah, definitely. It reminds me a little bit of there's this TikTok kid. Tina and I watch some TikToks. And he's the only tall person in a family of midgets.

2:07:50 And so but he's always messing with his mom, but like doing really crazy stuff, like really mean midget shit. But she's into it because, you know, and he must be 18 or something. And it's really funny, but it's really horrible. He's like pretending to toss his mom, you know, he has a trombone, he's playing circus music while she's cooking. It's like... Really good. And that concludes our TikTok report for show 1388. Hey, it was less boring than, uh, than... The potent wizard is next on the list. The potent wizard is next. Well, you should have clipped it. Uh, $333. He's in Milton, Massachusetts.

2:08:33 Thank you for the hours of research on TikTok and invaluable information you provide our community. Please de-douche me. You've been de-douched. Yeah, that's all I do, John. That's all I do. That's all I do. You get stuck on that thing. It's all I do. I was hit in the mouth by Adam on Rogan last year. Rogan donation. I knew I liked a cut of his jib. When he brought up the concept of centralized ID and digital currency system, something I've been warning my friends and family about for years. Now, Noah Jenner is now my must listen. As an older millennial on the dating, as a geriatric millennials, it's a term, on the dating app scene. He's insulting everybody today. That's what I was told. And they were insulted.

2:09:31 The Vaxmasteria is very real. I live in Boston area and it's amazing how many urban liberal millennial women display their vaccinated status on their dating profiles as a badge of honor. Not many can see the forest through the trees and the fact that this vaccine passport opens the door to something even more sinister. Call out to my best bud, Didio, for being a douchebag. I hit him in the mouth in the beginning of 2021. Can I please have an F cancer from my mom, a take the vax no combo, and anything by that buffoon, Al Sharpton. By the way, he's been on the air for 10 years at MSNBC and he makes more than we'll ever make. And dating karma, I need some dating karma so I can stop

2:10:26 being shamed for not being vaccinated on Bumble. Bumble. Love is love and lit the potent wizard the potent wizard. No, there's no real conflict. You've got karma. Here's the bumble dating karma a little extra. You've got karma. Oh, Baronette Patrick of the Pugner Order. Ooh! Forgot about the Pugner Order. Yeah, the Pugner Order, yeah. That's a hell of a group. 333. Hey, gents. Seattle Eastside meet up on Saturday, October 16th, if you can't make it to Bastrop, from 4 to 6 in Duval, Washington. Come build your community of friends who live life without fear. No jiggles. Sick. You put that on purpose. And no karma.

2:11:27 We got no jiggles for you. John Taylor, our first associate executive producer. 21312, 21312. Jobs Karma, please. A no mojo listener. It's reversing it. Oh, interesting. You should not give up on anything. Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs. John M Adams from Bon Secours in Alabama 203 37 I think they pronounce it in Alabama Bon Secours? Yeah that would be my guess Bon Secours. Hey John I'm after hitting my sister in the mouth a few months ago she tried to have me deduce for my birthday I made the birthday list but her $50 donation did not get a don't but her $50 donation didn't get a deducing read

2:12:25 So I'm gonna show her how it's done. Yes, correct. No guarantees under the associate and executive executive associate executive producer level. So I'm going to show her how it's done. Can I please get Melissa Adams on the birthday list for October 8 honoring her 29th circle around sold. And a de-douching for both of us! Yes. You've been de-douched. Also wanted to have a mac and cheese followed by a Jobs Karma for all in our sphere. Thank you, John in Bon Secours, Alabama. And she's on the list.

2:13:01 Few slaves could get used to mac and cheese. Macaroni and cheese cheddar melted together. Mac and cheese, mac and cheese, mac and cheese. Mac and cheese. Hey everybody! Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs! I rarely play that whole thing and there's an interesting ending to it. Yeah, I never noticed that. Darius Gandhi's next on the list for 200 bucks. There's no email with his name attached. I didn't get anything either, unfortunately. So I haven't got anything there. And then finally, Daniel, is it Mioc in Curranth, Texas? I think so. 200.

2:13:42 Uh, it looks like my airline is joining the others and mandating the jab. I'd like to request a health karma for all who will soon be forced to choose between their livelihood and the jab. Also, Feinstein is an idiot. The DoD has already shown that your chance of contracting the virus on an aircraft is very low. Thank you and keep up the good work. Dan Corinth. Yes, she's this Feinstein is the one who put the bill in for interstate travel vaccination passengers and crew. Yeah. Yeah. Good work lady. Daniel, I don't know which airline you work for, but the Southwest Pilots Association is not having this and they are, they're suing.

2:14:36 Because they don't want to, they want to have choice. So maybe you should hook up with your own pilot association. I hope you have one. My body, my choice. Hell yeah. And that's it. Those are our supporters, producers for episode 1388. Their contributions are incredibly appreciated as is everybody's but it's really part of the value for value system. This is why it works Long term it works out really well Let's put it that way because you can sustain you don't have to worry about one person or one entity Defunding the whole operation and not even just by removing money, but just by kicking you off. No, none of that None of that happens here

2:15:21 And it's fair because you are determining what it's worth to you and you're sending that back to us. And we appreciate that. And if you'd like to, if you're new, if you haven't donated before, it's pretty fun. Give it a shot. Learn more here. Devorak.org slash N-A. Thank you for your time, your talent, your treasure for producing episode 1388. Our formula is this. We go out, we hit people in the mouth. Order. Order. Shut up.

2:16:03 Hey, one of our producers had a thought which I thought was pretty interesting. You know how in this big scary bill or whatever's going on, the idea is that the US government will have full access to any bank account with $600 in it and so they can track what goes in and goes out of your account? Yeah. So why $600? Why that number? Why not $500? Why not $1,000? Why $600? Oh, well, now that you mention it, it never drew my curiosity, but now I'm curious. Our producer Mike Z points to a quote from billionaire hedge fund manager Leon Cooperman regarding the GameStop stock surge

2:16:54 He said the reason why this happened, the reason why you had these little pieces of shit who were ruining our business, we had it all shorted just perfectly and they had to come in and ruin it and create the short squeeze is because of their $600 stimulus checks. I think that's the reason. Well, it's a dumb reason. They want to know exact... they want to know if you get $600 in any account, they want to know what you're doing with it. Because of their own crap on Wall Street. I think it's very... there's no other 600 number that makes any sense. Well, it's one theory. People should be out there on the lookout for this. It's the only theory we've got. Well, how about this? Oh, hold on, hold on. Mr. Bobo, the troll. 1099A limit is $600. Is that true? That could be true too.

2:17:53 But why 600 crazy numbers? I don't know. 600 just... I thought it was brilliant. Well, if it even goes through, I'll be stunned. Oh, none of these bills can pass. You think that... I mean, there's no way. You think that they're going to pass this thing that God knows what it is, except... No. A lot of money? A 2,500-page bill, I don't think. You can't even find a real bill that's readable. So it's, you know, I hear 25, 27th. I don't think anyone has read this whole thing. I certainly haven't. I hope not. Well, I typically read these things. I like to read these things. Well, you know, sometimes I take a break. Well, I think that Jan and Brian should read this bill from page 1 to page 2700. I mean, it may be hard for you to believe, but sometimes I take a break from watching TikTok and I do some research. It doesn't sound right.

2:18:47 Well, let's go to Joe Biden. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, because I need to discuss something with you. It's back. It's back. It has to do with Joe Biden too. It has to do with this bill. It's back. The trillion dollar coin. How many times do we have to hear this bull crap? But people are acting like it's a new novel idea. Paul Krugman... When did we first talk about this? 8 years ago? 2012? And in fact, in 2012... 9 years ago. In 2012, we even played this clip.

2:19:26 to accentuate how stupid an idea it is, and this is from The Simpsons. In 1945 the people of Europe struggled to rebuild following the war. Shut up Simpson. To ease this crisis President Truman promised relief. American tax dollars will help our allies who fought so poorly and surrendered so readily. To make good on this drunken boast, Truman authorized the one-time printing of the largest denomination currency ever, a trillion dollar bill. But Krugman seriously suggested in his column, the Nobel Prize winning economist, as if it was novel and it's, oh, mint a trillion dollar coin, all your problems are solved. Can we explain why this is stupid?

2:20:21 At face value it's stupid. What's it accomplish? But why is it taking me so seriously again? When we know they're not going to do it. Distraction of the week on no agenda. Yeah. That's the only thing I can think of. The distraction of the week on no agenda. And we should probably also mention that we've been through this debt limit raising bullcrap how many times? On the show at least four. Four, five times and and the show we're gonna shut down the economy, shut down the government and and yeah oh it's so horrible everyone gets all their money retroactively with interest

2:21:10 Because it's really only shutting down some government stuff. Some parking lots in the Forest Service. I hate to say for the people who are working for the federal government, but a shutdown would be good. I'm always for it. Shut it down, like shut down Facebook. I think it was good, it was healthy. We had a productive day. Well, not the small businesses, but a lot of people had a productive day. So Biden, back to Biden, Biden decides he's going to go to the talk to some union guys in the middle of nowhere Michigan. Why didn't he have them come to his fake set? You know that fake set every time I see it now there's a good video of it on YouTube showing how fake it is. And the windows are the screens. There's photos behind the windows. No, they're screens.

2:22:02 I thought, I just found out that they were told that they were screens. I'll tell you why I say that's not the case. Because from the side you can see the painted backdrop, but I think they've changed that. Well, there's no reason they shouldn't be screens, but the way I see it, they're glued on pictures, and the one picture, because you can see they have two different camera angles, and what you see is exactly the same in both. But I would like someone to ask why It's a piece of shit set. It doesn't even look good. He has Janet yelling and they got two desks like they're at a local spelling bee. Well, you know what? I know who's doing the sets. The original sound guy. Okay, well they're doing a good job on humiliating the president. It's not becoming of any president. It looks lame.

2:23:01 So he goes and visits these guys and he just makes a mess. But listen, here's the hello. This is Biden hello and his reception he got when he goes. When he goes, where did he go? He goes to the local union guys. Yeah. Hello Michigan. It's good to be back. Yes, that tepid is the correct word. Yes, I use the word tepid. A smattering of a greeting. Hello Michigan. It's good to be back. Yeah, uh-huh. Poor Joe.

2:23:39 So here I have a bunch of short clips. I got some long clips. Here's a good typical Biden mumble fest. And it's just one, but I think I'll have another one. Biden mumble. I'm looking for mumble. I don't see any mumble. Oh, because it was highlighted. Gave us the best educated, best prepared workforce in the world. That was one of the reasons why America began to grow so rapidly. It's ridiculous. My Build Back Better plan gets us back on track. You know where we are today? 23. 22 countries have a higher percentage of their women in the workforce making a competitive wage than the United States. While our competitors are investing in the care economy, we're standing still. And the fact is millions of American parents are feeling the squeeze and at the same time in this sandwich generation. Well guess what?

2:24:34 If you're making 15 bucks an hour, you don't have any taxes to pay like that. So guess what? You got nothing. Zero. Zero. No help. We need to keep it going. Okay, did he say the sandwich generation? That's what he said. He said this... Well, who, what... Hold on a second. Still. And the fact is millions of American parents are feeling the squeeze at the same time in this sandwich generation. Well, guess what? Is he... I can't hear if he's saying the same with this generation or... It sounds like... Here's what he's saying. I have to... I listen to this more than you do and so I get... Sandwiched.

2:25:16 He's talking about two generations that are sandwiched. I like sandwich better. Oh yeah, no it's funnier. Sandwich generation is now available at Subway. All right so here we go, let's play this good sandwich. Okay wait wait before you move on. Subway. Because he brought out the bill black because he couldn't say it bill back better. I would like to mention that our president you know, who is part of the global cabal of Build Back Better has not got the memo because Boris Johnson, and if you didn't know, I think we were the first ones to call it, that this Build Back Better is a global plan. We had the collection for over a year, months and months and months. We were playing this and now people are finally getting it. But Boris Johnson is doing variations. Did you catch what he's doing? I'm about to hear a couple of them. Build Back Better.

2:26:13 Build back butter. So he's literally putting butter on his toast and then he goes and he gets some fish and chips and this is with the press right in front he opens up you know like the British fish and chips opens up that big oily newspaper and... Build back batter. Build back batter. Oh my goodness. So please someone have the president get up to speed on the jokes. Well, the World Series, the playoffs are in place so you can have build-back batter. Oooh! It's a baseball. I like that. Build-back batter would be dynamite. What else can we do that would sound like that?

2:27:02 Well while you're... Build back. Well, regardless, I'll do one more time, want to tell the administ... It could be go back to England, it could be build back Butler. Ooh. I just want everyone to know that we have available for licensing your entire jingle package. Now available. Now there's one clip going around where I think it's been edited a little bit and I have the whole clip that's unedited and this is where he talks about his grandpop. He never used to talk about his grandpop. As we call him, not his grandfather, not his granddad, his grandpop, which also refers to a soda that he liked.

2:27:49 But his grandpop, he's now started talking about that. He's really sounding more and more old. But let's go with the, here's the Biden grandpop story. You can figure out what he's talking about after you play it. And by the way, parenthetically, when you build a charging station, it's like back in the day when my grandpop worked for the Merrill Cronall Company back in the turn of the 19, 1920 in that area. They went from state to state convincing people that they put, allowed them to put 20,000 gallons of gasoline under the ground. They didn't want them around. But guess what happened? Everything builds up around them. You put these charging stations along the highway, you're going to see a significant economic development go well beyond the charging station. Oh, I get what he's saying, but man, but what? So he's saying his grandpa put the gas stations on the map.

2:28:43 And people didn't want him. They didn't want him. People didn't want him. So he's carrying on a grand Biden tradition of giving people things they don't want. Doing stuff nobody wants. So we have build back... That's a good analysis. I think you nailed it. We have build back booger, build back bitter, build back booty. Kind of like that one. Just working on it. Let's go to Biden's, this is a four second clip about, I have a what what clip, what does Biden say about China? Biden what what what what? China. I know you keep saying China, but I can't see China. I see Biden, Biden, Biden, Biden, China. China uses unfair coercive practices to get ahead of their competitors, but

2:29:35 Was worth searching for it. Hold on. China uses unfair coercive practices to get ahead of their competitors, but China uses unfair coercive practices to get ahead of their competitors, but what was the but part? Nothing. Okay. It was the word his pronunciation of coercive. is the key to that clip. Now he does, here's a non-secretary, very similar, this is Biden non-sec, you'd be under Biden, non. The significant portion of the major corporations in America and the super wealthy, when they supported me. Look, it's now time to deliver. Build back border. Another one for ya. I see that. Okay, now I've got the theme, here's our theme, which is the

2:30:26 He's gone back to not a joke, not a joke. And he's got this one variation is this one is always his reaction to clapping. And listen to this Biden reaction to clapping here in the state of Michigan. I want those jobs and I really mean it. I want those jobs here in Michigan. So he says, I want these jobs and they start clapping. And he says, I really mean it. Here in the state of Michigan, I want those jobs and I really mean it. I want those jobs here in Michigan. Yeah, he always does that. Whenever someone is agreeing with him, by showing any kind of agreement, he goes to not a joke. I mean it, it's real, all that stuff.

2:31:12 That's when he does it. Whenever... Can you explain why? Because he's, he is mentally challenged at this point in his life. There's nothing left in his brain cavity. Let's go with the Not a Joke series is Biden NAJ 1. Paul told his project will save literally hundreds of millions of barrels of oil on a yearly basis. Not a joke. Saved or created. Not a joke. Nice. Good one. I said not a joke. Let's go to number two. I'll bet everyone in this room can tell me what the most dangerous intersection in this town or any town they live in and where it is that you hold your breath when you're driving over trying to cross the street. Not a joke. That's good. Why?

2:32:08 He didn't get encouragement there. He's just saying it's not a joke because it's a lie. Is that it? I mean, that's not really true. I don't think so. I think he's something to something. It's like it's almost like a tick. Yeah, it is some kind of Biden. Here's the N.A. Oh, this is the first one of the series is N.A.J. zero. You built the country. No, not a joke. You built the country. No, not a joke. You built the country, gets a round of applause, and then he says, not a joke. Yeah. Dude, does he, was he like a stand-up comic that thinks he's telling, doing material and they're clapping for his funny jokes? That's all it can be. Did he, maybe it was a stand-up when he was in college. No, I don't think so. I don't think so. Okay, well here, good, let's do the Biden rap, not a joke. There's a bunch of them in here and some other nonsense. Let me close with this.

2:32:55 The world's watching, not a joke. They think democracy is not a joke. They're betting, not a joke. Some of the nation's most promising of equity. Yeah. So he actually said those not a jokes within about 10 seconds. Right. Okay. So this president is on a fake set normally. With fake words, with fake prompter, with bad... Everything's fake about this man. Nothing is real and I don't think anyone cares anymore when they hear him to just... He's like a grease spot. No, I'm not saying that you or we don't care. I don't think... I think he's... There's nothing left. He has no approval ratings. He can't answer a question. Everything is hyperbole to which you'll say it's not hyperbole.

2:33:49 It's a disgrace. It is a disgrace. Here's my last clip. This is just another three second clip. Now the dog has walked into the studio. They left the door open and she's going to start whining about something. I have no idea. Kick her out. Just with your heel. I'm going to kick her out in a minute. This is Biden said what? If Tupac marries America, he can't afford the housing. If Tupac marries America, he can't afford the housing. If Tupac marries America, he can't afford the housing. The problem with America is America. That's what he said. The problem with America is America. You can't afford the housing. Is that what he's saying?

2:34:33 I, that's what it sounds like. The problem with the Marys in America is they can't afford the housing. Or the problem with the Marys in America is they can't afford the housing. Marys of America need to unite because they can't afford the housing. I can't tell you what he said. All I know is what I'm seeing happening here outside of President Biden because he's a joke. He's not a joke. He's a joke. No, not a joke. Not a joke. Well, he's... Guess what? It's not a joke. Not hyperbole. That's the other one. I didn't make a bunch of those. Guess what? Guess what? Guess what? Okay, I gotta roust the dog. Get out of here! Out! Kick him. Kick him. Kick him hard. I want to hear him yelp. I want to hear him whine. So George Soros is, it's obvious now what he's doing. And I'm just going to call it out. George Soros is trying to do the exact same thing

2:35:28 It's it's it's ballsy. It's very very ballsy. I'll admit he's trying to the same thing he did with The British pound and with the UK he is trying to destroy anything he can trick the The Treasury into doing stupid things so that he can bet on the downside. I would say of the dollar and he is doing it in very nefarious ways. Even just down the road here in Austin, Texas, where we've had very success, a lot of success, or I can't say we anymore. Austin had a lot of success with their Proposition B, which was the last special election to stop the camping, the homelessness problem. How'd that go? Better than, well,

2:36:19 It's taken months and they're getting better, but is it completely done? No. Everything around City Hall is cleared. Is the issue solved? No. Is it all a real estate scam by our former eminent domain real estate lawyer mayor? Yeah. Yeah, I believe so. And the fun doesn't stop there, because now we have, after the defunding of the police, which was great, wasn't it? Defunding the police. So now we have highest murder rate ever in Austin, Texas. I keep saying we, but it's them now. Yeah, you're not there. It's just human resources in Austin.

2:36:55 They have the highest murder rate they've had. It's almost one a day. The city is nasty, the city is dirty. Oakland numbers. And they want, so proposition A from the same people who overturned the camping ban, save Austin now, Prop a is to refund the police to get the money back in because they They no longer have the manpower to handle anything except an active case if you call 9-1-1 I just got home my place is burgled. They stole all my gold They will tell you to call 3-1-1 and talk to someone over there

2:37:36 That's 311. That's like the information number. It's like if so then they'll send someone over in the next day or two. County library. They'll take up the information. Then that's so there's no longer active cases like, hey someone just burgled my house. Don't worry be right there. Maybe there's still a clue. Bring the bloodhounds. No, not in Austin anymore. No, it's just call 311. It's the same number you call to find out about garbage pickup. So, it's true, it's true, it's the same number. It's the same number. Here's what's going on with this problem. Well, I would recommend, by the way, don't know if I'll stop you, but I'd recommend all criminals that listen to this podcast head to Austin. They're too busy emptying the shops on the Miracle Mile in Chicago. Have you seen the Louis Vuitton shop? No. People are going in during broad daylight

2:38:29 And just, it's open, the store is open. They're just smashing, smashing all the glass, taking all the product and walking out, maybe 10, 15 people. And nothing happens. No one pursues them, no one's running, there's no cops coming. So they're too busy over where the going is good. We don't have a Louis Vuitton, we Austin doesn't have Louis Vuitton store. Anyway, so Proposition A is the same people, they're getting, they're gonna have a vote, we need to refund the police. No, no, no! In a conference room at this downtown Austin hotel. We're a big city now.

2:39:08 and we've got to think big. Three former Austin mayors, Lee Cook, Lee Leffingwell and Ron Mullen reunited to help push Proposition A to the finish line. Prop A could add hundreds of new Austin police officers by requiring a ratio of two officers per 1000 residents. But opponents fear the price tag could mean cuts to other city services, including the Fire Department and family violence and substance abuse programs. There's nothing wrong with having too many police officers, but there's a lot wrong with having too few. Their news conference, put together by the political action committee Save Austin Now, came just over a week after Democratic billionaire George Soros donated $500,000 to the opposition, Equity PAC, the group behind No Way on Prop A. I mean, that's really annoying. I don't live there anymore. Get out of our business, George Soros! Get out of everyone's business.

2:40:03 And shame on those people. Soros got to do with Austin. He wants to ruin every city in America by installing district attorneys who let everybody go. Go look at the background of your district attorney up there. You don't have to ask. We got a bunch of them. We got one in San Francisco. Yes. There's one in Seattle. Same here. The district attorney of Austin is another Soros install. I think the city clerk or maybe the attorney, these are all people who got hundreds of thousands of dollars if not more from Soros for their campaign which does help when you're campaigning certainly in a smaller place. Small town. So go back and look at what George Soros did and effectively forced stupid Gordon Brown to sell the UK's gold at the wrong time and

2:40:53 And he had the short on the pound and almost broke the Bank of England. And I think he would love to do nothing more than ruin America. He's probably- So he can make out. He's probably invested in Bitcoin. It wouldn't even surprise me. This guy is a whore, which is ironic. Ironic, but this guy is no, I don't understand how this can even be allowed. Get out. So with that, actually I'll go back to Biden just to show you. So Soros is really ruining everything, he really is. I mean changing the scene of the crime and the way crime is handled in cities. And shame on cities for letting this happen of course. Meanwhile, the propaganda team is making it look like President Biden is popular. I just, I'm sorry I should have done this earlier. There was the congressional baseball game.

2:41:50 where it's the, you know, it's the Republicans versus the Democrats or whatever it is. It's where it's sometimes that they practice, they get shot by Bernie supporters, but this wasn't a big stadium. And so they had, oh, we got to show how popular the president is. This man doesn't utter a word because he's just kind of like looking at people and say, I recognize you. Listen to what these shysters did to the audio. So they edited We Love Joe in it. At no point was there a spontaneous We Love Joe, quite the opposite actually. What? Yeah, they edited that in. That's a White House propaganda video. The White House is on the White House website. Yes. Now the most egregious, and I interpret this one way, you may interpret it differently, was what Watermelon Head Carey said to the French press.

2:42:55 to revisit. The French had a deal, I think even some there were some down payments made possibly on submarines for Australia. Then we came in, I'll say we being the war machine currently managed by the Biden administration and said, you're going to buy subs from us and the UK will participate in some parts, they're going to be atomic submarines and you're just going to have to screw the French. And the French took this very poorly. They withdrew ambassadors, they cancelled the party, they literally cancelled the party and went home. They're so mad. So Kerry had to account for this because he was over there... I should mention it's a 65 billion dollar deal to the French. Oh, it's a huge deal because that's jobs, that's jobs, that's opportunity. And it was very cavalier the way it came down, just like, nah, nah, screw y'all.

2:43:51 And I think when it comes to weapon sales and arms dealerships, which we are one big arms dealership, there's probably some agreements. You're like, hey man, look, we've got the sub deal. You can go do your, you know, your dome thing. You can do the, you know, the Saudis get them some crafts. You'd think there was some agreement amongst gentlemen. There would be some gentlemen, yes, some agreements. So it didn't turn out that way. And the French are pissed. So the French press is talking to Carrey, who I'm just going to presume that he was in Paris visiting Pierre to get his hair done because that's what they all do. And he really is, I think he's a little pissed. He really just wanted ambassadorship in Paris. But he got the climate portfolio.

2:44:38 And this is how he explains what happened. President Biden asked me about it and I told him and expressed... You told Joe Biden that it was not the right... He asked me, he said, what's the situation? And I explained exactly, he was, he had not been aware of that. He literally had not been aware of what had transpired. And my president is very committed to strengthening the relationship and making sure that this is a small event of the past and moving on to the much more important future. Okay, so a couple things in this. One, a huge diplomatic gaffe for him to say that the President of the United States was not only was he not aware of this deal and the problems it had caused,

2:45:29 He's being made aware of it by the watermelon head who's the climate change czar that is really? Very diminishing towards the office of the president Second he says my president is very aware What does that mean? Does that mean you're saying that because you don't want the French to be confused that you're talking about their president or is it because your president is someone else and Listen again, listen again.

2:46:21 strengthening the relationship and making sure that this is a... The way he says my president I'm sorry. He's like a different person. Like Hillary Clinton perhaps. My president is very committed. Not like that guy who was asleep at the wheel. Yeah otherwise you would have said President Biden. Yes. My president is very committed to strengthening... I think he really meant someone else. It sounds like he meant that I wouldn't have thought Hillary Clinton, but once you mention that. Who else is he working for? Maybe he means Obama. He's not working for Trump. No, maybe he still means Obama, who of course is calling the Obama cabal is calling some shots somewhere. Susan Rice, clearly. And also Lisa Monaco.

2:47:10 Oh man, that was the... wasn't she Department of Homeland Security, Lisa Monaco? I can't remember what she... you have to look her up. I had a clip of her in one of my clips that's in here, probably a crop up, it's a network clip. She sounds so much like Susan Rice in the rest of them. She's got that same exact cadence and kind of a crazy little bit of talking funny and She's just a dead ringer. This the mill you is so strong. Yes. She was feel the milieu Luke Yes, she served as deputy assistant in the Justice Department but was also Homeland Security. Yes, statutory member of the Homeland Security. She was in there with

2:47:59 Janet Napolitano, remember when all the lesbians got together and put the men's desks in the bathroom and humiliated the men to go work in the bathroom? Yeah, nobody called anybody out on any of it. Although Napolitano did quit shortly thereafter. Yeah. Lucy. Well here's the clip I have that might have something. This is a diplomat, wait. No, maybe not. Maybe? Hmm, maybe not. Well, I can do an intermezzo if you want. A little intermezzo. A French... I have a lot of good clips that I should get out of here. I'm going to stay in France. Stay in France a little bit because... I will say this... Oh, here. Dip them in. Let me play my friend. It's 26 seconds. We're still in France. It is praising for another devastating report detailing widespread child sexual abuse mostly by priests. This time within the Catholic Church in France.

2:48:54 After two and a half years, an independent investigation has found about 3,000 pedophiles were employed by the church over the past 70 years. 22 cases have been sent to local prosecutors indicating the abuse of the case is still active. The number of victims has not yet been made public but some have warned of a tsunami of victims. A tsunami of victims. That should be fun to watch. We hadn't heard that in a while. We heard about the priests in the Catholic Church in a while. Again, less that we don't hear about. Things are happening. Francis Collins, by the way, Fauci's boss resigning. Resigning. The rats are leaving the ship. Everyone's getting outed now. And he's leaving before it's too late, I think. All right. Well, I have just a little news out of China. It's not getting reported in general.

2:49:51 This is the China... apparently it's knuckled under. This is China coal needs, one. China has recently resumed purchases of Australian coal. Beijing had banned the imports for a year, but current power shortages in China seem to have left Beijing with few options. NTD's Tiffany Meyer brings us more of the details. Whoa, big intro. The power shortage has changed many things in China, even Beijing's ban on Australian coal it seems. Analysts say the coal is starting to make its way to China after the regime unofficially blocked its imports a year ago. Primer ACM Shipbroker's analyst Nick Ristig tells the Financial Times a handful of Australian cargoes headed into berth last month. He said it's likely that about 450,000 tons of coal was unloaded.

2:50:42 China's power crunch comes at a time of surging domestic demand, pushing coal prices to record highs. Australia used to send up to 12 megatons of coal to China each month, according to energy consulting group Wood Mackenzie. They say that number plunged to effectively zero after Beijing's ban last October. China typically imports about one megaton of coal per day, so the recent release is not likely to have big impact on the country's needs. A Beijing-based trader told Reuters the shortage could last till the end of heating season, or February or March. Before the ban, Australia was China's second largest supplier after Indonesia.

2:51:22 60% of the imported Australian coal was for industries like power generation and cement production. 40% was for steel manufacturing. Exports from other key suppliers have reportedly been limited by transportation and weather conditions. A Reuters report says China's coal imports dropped 10% on the year for the first eight months. But in August, imports soared and tight domestic supplies. That triggered coal price hikes from multiple suppliers. And these soaring prices are estimated to stay steady in the coming months. I am surprised. We've been following the story, didn't know that they'd buckled. Why did Australia say go? Couldn't they have just said no? They could have. I know they were selling most of their coal to India, but they, it's a mega ton a day.

2:52:10 You know, that's a lie. China is way short. They were way short. This is part two of this clip, but we can talk about it. After a long ban on Australian coal, Beijing is back to buying it and it's seeking new sources too. China's Zhejiang province brought in its first shipment of thermal coal from Kazakhstan this week. That's according to a state media on Monday. It marks a recent effort for China's eastern manufacturing hub to look for new supplies in Central Asia. The nearly 150,000 ton shipment is now being discharged after 30 days in transit. It's a big change from the first eight months this year, when China imported almost zero Kazakh thermal coal. The cargo was imported by Zhejiang Energy Group, backed by provincial officials there. Coal from Central Asian nations is usually also more expensive due to high transportation costs. According to a local newspaper, the firm also imported 130,000 tons of thermal coal from the U.S. in June and July. That's the first time the company purchased the resource from the U.S.

2:53:12 China is currently dealing with a power crunch due to coal shortages. The issue has sent coal prices soaring and widespread outages have caused major trouble for domestic businesses and residents. Yeah, a couple of other... Why wasn't this covered in the US media? We've been covering it. In Texas? You and I. You and I have been covering it. Oh yeah, no, we covered it. I'm just wondering why I can... The reason the US media didn't touch this story, because it's an interesting one, is because it's about coal. And these huge amounts of coal that China burns. Yeah, we can't have that. A megaton a day just from Australia alone. That's a thousand tons? Yeah. Megatons! So it's just every...

2:53:57 I mean they use so much coal, they need all this coal and we can't touch the story because we can't admit that coal is even used anywhere. A million tons. It's a million tons. A million tons. Megatons. You're right Meg. That's a lot of coal. And I hear that from what producers are saying that providers they have who are manufacturing stuff, these shutdowns just happen in the middle of the day. Boom. It's locking up machines and stuff. Yeah. It's a mess there. It's a mess. But that coal shortage is going to cause repercussions around the world with supply side problems and inflation.

2:54:35 And of course nobody wants to talk about that either. Well then let's do it real quick before we take our last break. I do have some supply chain things to talk about briefly. We start with a report from CBS Evening News. New orders likely won't arrive by Christmas. That's because goods made overseas are spending a record amount of time in transit. Cargo ships are crowding ports from New York to Los Angeles where a quarter million containers are currently floating off the coast according to LA Port Director Gene Sirocco. These stacks of containers seem to be growing. There's no room to put this cargo. Our docks are full. People need to come and pick up their cargo. Only half the truck drivers registered to do business here visit us at least once a week. We need more drivers on the job. Trucker George Anaya says the port needs to move faster. You had an appointment at 7 p.m. to pick up a load. Yes, I didn't get out of there until about 2 a.m. Before this year how many loads a week could you pick up?

2:55:29 about 20 or so. And how many now? About six. The Port of L. A. Does not operate around the clock like ports in other parts of the world. President Biden has said he'd like to see the ports operating 24 hours. Why isn't that happening? You've got so many nodes of the supply chain that have to get on the same schedule. If we can get the warehouses to open around the clock, that would be important to us. So there's a lot being blamed on basically American ports not functioning 24 hours a day, not having enough technological advancement. All true. We've been through the trucks that the trucks of a particular age are not allowed because of their climate issues because of climate change.

2:56:14 Brand new information has come to light from one of our producers who works for, let's just say, for a big corporation that has a lot of stuff they supply to people. Let's call it Coke Industries, shall we? Just to make it easy. Supply chains currently at all kinds of companies, but also at the aforementioned, are all wrapped up in hyperledger integration. And things have been going slow. What is Hyperledger you ask? Hyperledger is an opportunity to change the world.

2:56:53 This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. From the minute I read about blockchain technologies, I knew I had to be a part of it. It was so exciting to me, its potential, that I actually changed careers to do it. We all know the future is going to be data-driven, it's going to be automated, we're going to have this wonderful sort of decentralized organic world. The only question is how to get there. Hyperledger has been really successful in bringing together the people that have business problems with the technology developers who are creating these new capabilities. Have you heard of Hyperledger? No, but it has the ring of a Silicon Valley bull crap idea that is passed around and everyone's jacked up about because there's some way of making money.

2:57:36 Hyperledger collaborates with more than 250 member companies, including the world's leaders in finance. And by the way, it's finance, not finance, finance, banking, Internet of Things, supply chains, manufacturing and technologies. Yes, they are all they all bought the big blockchain bullcrap. And they've been trying to integrate it with this open Hyperledger protocol. And it's It's slow, which is usually developers speak for it's a mess. It's a mess. It's a mess. Yeah. Because they're trying to block chain everything. They're trying to block chain every little, you know, the whole dream of the block chain. Listen to a little bit more of the dreamers here. Bringing these two groups together with this new technology has really started to break the traditional ways that people have thought about solving problems.

2:58:28 and open them up to new ways of doing business with new kinds of technology. It's not just the technology, it's also a level of validation of the impact this technology can have. Hyperledger has been a great governing body to enable us to freely share our thoughts and ideas. But I think the passion that we see every single day with the community is one that will be felt forever. It's not limited by... Share our thoughts and ideas in the community. in the community, share, what does ledgers and supply and demand and all the economics of a company like Coke Industries or any of them have to do with sharing your thoughts and ideas and feelings? I think they also encourage sharing your feelings. This is a ledger. No, not a block chain. No, just kind of insanity. Are you playing here? This is this is what American companies have gotten wrapped up in.

2:59:26 They've been told that we need blockchain. Oh, blockchain is Bitcoin. No, it's the ledger. Oh yeah, ledger. Well, where do I get a good ledger? Come over here. We've got the hyperledger. Oh yeah. I can't go wrong for joining that group. And now people can't get their shit moving through the supply chain. Yeah, just listen to these. Hyperledger in-depth. An hour with Ledger Leopard. Supply chain traceability. Say goodbye to your double administration, balanced reconciliation and lost items. You see? You're right. This is the new big blue. IBM's probably a partner. They're probably behind it, giving some of these dumb solutions. It sounds more silly. It sounds more salesforce-y. It's totally silly. It's totally silly. Or Oracle-ish. Oh, Oracle's in the deal. Oh yeah, Oracle's in there. Of course. Of course they are. Wow. Yep, that's what's going on.

3:00:27 And workers at Kellogg's, all of Kellogg's cereal plants have gone on strike. Because heaven forbid you don't have every box of cereal accounted for on the blockchain. Well, that's the moment of insanity that we're waiting for. Hyperledger rules! Back to reality. And by the way, I should mention that all the people that contributed to this show are not on any blockchain. They're barely in a spreadsheet. They're barely in a spreadsheet. That's the way we'd like it.

3:01:13 Edward Tottenall in Indianapolis, Indiana starts things off with $101.01, followed by Gavin McGoldrick, $100.33, anonymous 100, Vic Pepe. Hey! That's my buddy Vic Pepe. Oh, you know what? I'll tell you what. So Vic is a good friend of mine, long time friend. He sends me a note, he says, hey, I was talking to my future son-in-law and said, you know, about Adam Curry. He says, oh, I love Adam Curry, listen to him all the time. He says, well, good, because he's coming to your wedding. And I said, well, this guy better not be listening and not donating because your son-in-law is a douchebag. So I think Vic is trying to get out in front of it.

3:01:56 Well, Vicks from South Lake, Texas gave a hundred bucks and has a note, no douche bags here. You've been de-douched. Nicole Carter in Belmont, New Mexico, 100. Sir Knight of the East Side, 100. Matthew Wells in Austin, Texas, another Texan, another hundred. He says, it's been over a year since I last donated, de-douche me please? You've been de-douched. He says also call out Phil Kuzmanowski as a douchebag. I recently got my Ham Radio Technicians license too.

Please accept my latest donation, PayPal of 50.01 6592 Canadian, which pushes me over the necessary threshold for knighthood in Canadian pesos. We accept the pesos here.

3:03:45 It does add up, if rather slowly. You both do a great job of media deconstruction with general sanity-inducing information and are probably the best medicine to ally deep societal depression. We're a good start. One point I don't think is emphasized enough about your podcast is the data and information density of both commentary and clips. I find myself needing to listen to each episode at least twice to get the most benefit. Wow. I would like to be known as Sir Mark, Knight of the Town that Forgot Fun. Ottawa, Canada. It's a local joke, believe me. I like it. Also, my birthday is on Saturday the 9th of October where I'm rapidly approaching government old age pension time. Many thanks. You bet. We're looking forward to see you on the podium. Speaking of old, just for a second, John. Speaking of old, speaking of old, I went wake surfing with the former New York banker.

3:04:40 Yeah, you do that all the time. And we try once every six weeks or so. That's probably the last time for the summer. He said that in Japan, they now have a new category of human resources between 60 and 75 is now in Japan, credit categorized as pre old. Pre old? Yes. 60 to 75 is pre old. And after that, well, we know what you are after that. Yeah, you know, old. No, you're pre dead. Not pre-dead. You're always pre-dead. Onward with Casey Garrett in Wawa, oh brother, Wawahitchka, Florida. I'm sure that is not the correct pronunciation. I think you're probably right. 5588.

A big one coming up on the 16th in Bastrop. We did have one in Texas Hill Country. I was

3:11:00 I was not able to attend and I'm sorry because it sounds like it was a good time. This is team member John checking in from the Fredericksburg Heart of Texas Hill Country meetup. Hey, is that Laura Logan? Hi, this is Dame Judy from Bernie. I love you, John. Thanks. John, turn up your speakers. Roll! Hey Adam and John, thank you for all you do to keep deconstructing the news. Hey this is Trinidad here at the Oktoberfest No Agenda official meetup. Blah blah blah. Words that sound great. Hey guys, it's James from Nappanoag, New York trying to break the record for the most No Agenda meetups in a day. First here in Fredericksburg, Texas and later in New Braunfels. Deep in the heart of hill country. Bye. There you go.

3:11:47 Fredericksburg, thank you very much for the part of Hill Country Texas meetup. Here's what's happening today. The Denver area will be hanging at the Hangar meetup at six o'clock. That's at Hangar 101 in Lakewood, Colorado. Saturday the San Diego Boots on the Ground meetup 3.30 at new location home and away in Old Town RSVP please let people know you're coming The Okinawa Gala it's not formal 5 o'clock Japan time at Coco Pelly's Pizza Yometan Nakagami-gan That sounds like a good meetup. Also on Saturday, Carnivore Festival in the morning, the meet up at six o'clock. That is in Marshfield, Missouri, RSVP for details because you're going to be eating meat. And then on Sunday, the NOAA agenda in the 505 Albuquerque, New Mexico. That is Sir Jeffrey Tohig who was who was

3:12:38 Hosting that at a long-term Pal of the Pod. It'll be at Sidetrack Brewery. And also on Sunday, the Three Mile Island EVAC Zone Meetup 333. And that will be in York Haven, PA. We've got plenty of meetups throughout the rest of the month. And of course my favorite will be the 16th in Bastrop in Texas. The Keeper and I will be there. There's 174 people. It's going to be quite a party. In fact, that's what they all turn out to be. The No Agenda Meetups, they're completely producer driven. In fact, one of our producers created and runs noagendameetups.com. He's a knight, as he should be. Go there, find a meetup. This was kind of cool.

3:13:20 I got, I received from the city of Austin, a challenge coin right here. A challenge coin from the office of Councilwoman Mackenzie Kelly. She's a big deal, I guess. I'm sure of it. A nice challenge coin and a note. And listen, this is from the only sane council person in Austin. Podfather, thanks for everything you do, keeping us all sane. We appreciate your support. Hope you'll accept this challenge coin as a token of my gratitude, and she'd like to go to a meetup.

3:13:55 Never go to Bastrop. That's what I'm thinking about, but I think it would be more it'd be easier for her to be kind of more local Like 5 1 5 1 12 local is really I mean, that's our one of those those are pretty pretty like I told her that the keeper and I if she wanted to come to a 512 then we'd escort her we'd be her escorts to the to the meetup. And then at the end of the note that she says, P.S. can you chip in three dollars? No. Anything like that? No, she in fact, she honestly she said she wanted to host a meetup. Ooh, why don't you do? Woo, you okay?

3:14:34 Well, maybe she should attend one first, just get her feet wet, see how it works. Attend, then host. Just don't do a hosting out of the blue. Because before you know it, she'll be like, oh, she got the bouncy castle, all the things, and it turns out that was... Yeah, it'll be like the Bastrop situation. It starts to, it racks up the bill. Thank you all very much for supporting us of course, but also for setting up these fantastic meetups. It is so cool. It really is changing people's lives and keeping sanity. Noagendameetups.com. If you can't find one nearby, start one yourself. Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.

3:15:17 I only have one eye so you have more to you have to tell me me give my first I'll give you my eyes so absolutely wacky reasonable Alright, I've got two. I got a long one, but three seconds might be too long for your taste, but let's go with ISO zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. That's what the commentary that would be Biden telling us we're zero. And there's also I think there's another Biden. This is a get done. We need to get this done. As in finish the podcast. Yeah, but absolutely wacky.

3:16:12 They're all bad. They really, they kind of all do suck. So what, which suck do we go with? We'll go with yours. We took mine last time. Which was absolutely wacky, but then I need to jack up the whack a little. Yeah, it's too low. Yeah. It has a little, it's a little, it's too low. Jack up the whack man. Absolutely wacky. That's better. That does the job. Oh, a reminder, new information, and we had a lot of it on this show. I will be on the Megyn Kelly show on Tuesday. On XM Stereo. That is apparently the only show they still have left.

3:16:55 What, they took the podcast off the podcast world? No, no, the podcast is still a podcast, but it's no longer the long form hour, hour and a half with one guest. Now it's 40 minutes. She finally figured it out. That guests are boring. No, it's worse. She now has three guests per day. On a one hour show? No, I think she has two hours and it's 40 minutes. So I get 40 minutes. What am I gonna- How can I convey anything in 40 minutes before she has to hit her hard brake for the commercial? Because first it's gonna be 10 minutes MTV guy. Yeah, well you're old broadcasting, you have the old shop still within you to be able to stop on a dime so they can cut the commercial and then you come out of the commercial and you're ready to roll. I don't know if they're doing commercials. I was hoping I got the whole 40 minutes but you're right, they may have to break for spots during that too. Which means I'm really only on for 18 minutes. That could be.

3:17:56 Well I appreciate the invite so I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to it. You're gonna do 40 minutes, you're gonna do 10 minutes of MTV, that's true, that's cause she's gonna wanna do that. And you're gonna be in studio? Well I'm gonna be on Zoom. So I have to have my hair done too. So you gotta do your hair but it's a Zoom call so the quality is gonna suck. Yeah. And so, okay, you're gonna be on Zoom and you're gonna talk 10 minutes about MTV. I should probably have a... what story should I tell? Because she'd be like, MTV. I'm like, well, I need to tell an MTV story. You know them all. Tell her one where, what's her name? Kennedy almost killed you. Oh, that's a good one. Okay. Kennedy almost killed me. Yeah, that's a good story. Okay.

3:18:41 Oh, wait, Kennedy almost killed you and the follow-up would be the MTV.com story and how you got kicked out and now they won't even invite you to any of the events. This is your opportunity to get a noodle in there. So do that. Okay, all right. This is good prep. Okay. So first, Kennedy almost killed me. Kennedy almost killed me at MTV.com and now they hate me, even though I was right. Even though I was right. Yeah. And then you got the, and they won't invite you to any events if you have never been invited. So then, so then it's, boom, you got your gigs. Then it's Podfather. Then you got the digs and then boom, you go to the podcast. Well, how did this start? When did the podcasting start? Where did you come up with this idea? And so then you'll go into that. Can I just, can I just do my rapper thing and just say, God gave it to me.

3:19:32 Yeah, don't do that. So then that'll, you'll be able to bullshit your way for a good 15 minutes about that and then, then you can, then you got to segue into no agenda somehow. You gotta stay interesting enough through the first two segments, which you're correct about. They're gonna talk MTV and then bull crap about the, you know, the Podfather. And then you gotta keep it interesting enough to segue into the Value for Value and the No Agenda show and Deconstructing News and how she would appreciate it, because she was always deconstructing news on Fox, not. But I need to, so okay, good. Then I need,

3:20:13 Alright, got it. I got it. That's it. Boom. That's it. That's it. I am going to promote podcasting 2.0 as well. Oh, yeah. No, that would come in during the podcat potfather part. Yeah. Okay, she's gonna ask you about that. And you shouldn't invite her to be part of it. What can I do? How can I do be part of it? Just sign up and become by you know, become compliant. Get compliant Megan. I don't know how to approach her though. It's gonna be interesting. Oh, she's a natural. She's one of those cuties that knows how to deal with anybody. You'll be fine. You'll get along. You'll probably like each other. I've always respected her, but not that I'm going to say that. Yeah, no, that's not the issue. You got to make sure you get the plugs in there. That's the problem. Always thinking, John, who gives a shit about what you have to say? Get the plugs in. The plugs, man. Get the plugs in. You know that? Tell me I'm wrong.

3:21:19 You're not wrong. In fact, you are spot on. All right, I'll give you a final clip. Oh, before we go, I just wanted to point to this article from Associated Press. I did not know it was this easy, but the title of their report, November 3rd, is literally, ordering deadly drugs from China is easy. And you can order carfentanil easy and they deliver it through the mail. Oh yeah, everyone bitching about the border. Give me a give me a break. This is just delivered through mail. People ordering kilos of this stuff through the mail. Yeah, well, I wouldn't want to work in the post office with that stuff flying around. No. All right. I got one clip. I got a lot of clips. I'm gonna play this one. This is the one which is another clip you never heard again. I got it from NTD new Tang Dynasty. They hate China. Those are real China haters.

3:22:14 They are China haters, they're out of Taiwan. But this is a story that I didn't know about. Hollywood's taking advantage of outer space, they're flying people up and down just to make movies. Listen to the space movies Russia. A Russian actress and a film director arrived at the International Space Station on Tuesday, beating Tom Cruise in the race to shoot the first movie in space. The cameras were rolling as Yulia Parasild floated through the hatch of the ISS on a mission to make the first film in space. Parasild and director Klim Shepenko will spend 12 days on board filming scenes for the movie The Challenge. Earlier, footage from the space station showed their spacecraft docking at the station 220 miles above Earth. The film they're producing has Parasild playing a doctor who travels to the space station to save a cosmonaut's life.

3:23:05 Cosmonaut crew members are also set to appear in the film. The project puts Russia on course to beat the US in the latest chapter in the space race, movie making. Last year, NASA announced plans for Hollywood star Tom Cruise to blast off on a SpaceX rocket for a yet-to-be-named film. Ha ha! What craziness! This whole thing... Where we are now slowly being led down the path of all of these heroes who are taking us so far beyond where we've ever been. Could any of you please just take a leak on the moon to prove to me that it can be done before you do any more great stuff like, ooh, Bill Shatner in space, waitlist for two sec, two minutes, woo. The whole, it's all pathetic and now it's all about movies?

3:24:00 Got me off guard. Well, it's not they didn't play it up much because the Russians beat us to it Pathetic drat it's pathetic and the and the love for these space jerks who achieve I mean Okay, sure. It's quite an achievement but compared to 50 50 years ago when we landed on the moon you'd almost think that was fake or something I They could spend, better spend the money helping the homeless. Eating the homeless. Well, they would love to do that. That's pretty much, that's how I see them. Jamokes. Bad Week for Facebook, end of show mix from uh... His very own Clip Custodian, Neil Jones. Not just a Clip Custodian, but an end of show mix master. Also, Gus Augustine comes in with a full length track that I think you'll like. Under the fair use system. And, coming to you from...

3:25:03 The... oh wait, I need to tell you first that after this on noagendastream.com we've got Grimerica. There we go. I'm getting ready to go on their show. They all caught the koofs of their home for 10 days trying to make a connection because I do owe them. Coming to you from the heart of Texas, from the heart of Texas Hill Country, FEMA Region Number 6 and all the governmental maps. In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from northern Silicon Valley where I remain. I'm John C. Dvorak. We return on Sunday with another jam-packed hour of media deconstruction. Please join us. Until then, remember us at dvorak.org slash NA, and we'll see you then. Adios, homophobes! And such. Instagram is that first childhood cigarette. The content that is hateful, that is divisive, that is polarizing,

3:26:05 It's easier to inspire people to anger than it is to other emotions. Instagram really can't be fixed in a way that would make it safe. It is not hyperbolic to say that misinformation on Facebook kills people. Facebook has demonstrated they cannot act independently. We're following major breaking news. A major internet outage. A bad week for Facebook. Take this jab and shoot. I ain't taking your poison shot.

3:26:52 You can bribe, you can threaten my job This is the only life I got When you fired every single last one of us all And your business ain't worth a squat Take this jab and shut it I ain't taking your poison shot Now I've been watching these politicians Lickin' their greasy chops Lockin' us down, maskin' us up Chasin' us with jackboot cops They're partyin' hardy with the businessmen High on their power trip

3:27:34 Thinkin' we're slaves who have to do what they say Crackin' their clod shot whip Take this jab and shoot I ain't takin' your poison shot It's chock full of chopped up baby parts And gave my best friends baby blood clots If there's any justice left in this big ol' world You'll be hangin' from a hangman's knot Take this jab and shove it I ain't taking your poison shot Now vaccines normally take 10 years to develop and test them right This Pfizer took about 43 days Damn that's dynamite But it's causing miscarriages and heart attacks In young and healthy folks I know

3:28:30 They're dying or in pain or disabled for life and then they still catch Corona cold. Take this jab and shove it, I ain't taking your poison shot. This is the land of the free and the home of the brave, you self-righteous Nazis not. When they march your shaved-naked ass through town, I'm gonna cheer a whole hell of a lot. Take this jab and shudder. I ain't taking your poison shot. Take this jab and shudder. The best podcast in the universe! Alpha. Dvorak.org slash N-A. Absolutely wacky.
