About this episode

The United Kingdom and Ireland have officially begun dismantling COVID-19 mandates as Boris Johnson announces the end of Plan B restrictions, including mask requirements and vaccine passports. This shift contrasts sharply with violent protests in Belgium and new legislative pushes in California, where Senator Scott Wiener introduced Senate Bill 866 to allow minors to receive vaccinations without parental consent. Meanwhile, a transport truck carrying 100 laboratory monkeys crashed on Route 54 in Pennsylvania, leading to a frantic search and the eventual euthanasia of three escaped animals.

In the United States, U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Brown blocked the federal employee vaccine mandate, ruling that the executive branch exceeded its statutory authority. The Center for COVID Control faces major fraud lawsuits in Minnesota and Illinois following reports of faked test results and samples stored in garbage bags. Geopolitical tensions rise as the U.S. suspends 44 flights to China in retaliation for Beijing's travel blocks, while the Biden administration begins shipping lethal aid to Ukraine via Baltic allies. In the energy sector, Al Gore is leveraging the Climate TRACE platform to monitor global carbon emissions via satellite as Turkey positions itself to challenge Russian gas dominance in the Black Sea.

University of Kentucky professor Lauren Whitehurst introduces the concept of sleep equity to address racial disparities in restorative rest. Journalist Bari Weiss declared the current era a pandemic of bureaucracy during an appearance with Bill Maher, citing the moral cost of continued school masking. The segment also highlights a Michigan school board meeting where parents confronted officials over rumors of litter boxes being placed in bathrooms for students identifying as furries.

Global COVID-19 Policy Shifts, European Protests

The United Kingdom, Ireland, and the Czech Republic are moving toward dropping COVID-19 mandates, while Belgium experiences massive, violent protests against remaining restrictions. In the United States, media reports suggest a generational divide where some youth are reportedly protesting for stricter masking and vaccination requirements rather than fewer restrictions.

00:00 Yeah Adam Curry, John C. DeVore Act. It's Sunday January 23rd 2022 this is your award-winning Get My Nation Media assassination episode 1419! This is no agenda. Sniffing the candles and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA region number six In The Morning everybody I'm Adam Curry. And for Northern Silicon Valley where everybody's happy I'm John C. DeVore Act. It's Crackpot & Buzzkill...In The Mornin'! Okay, somehow I doubt that.

Yeah it's about time you know the UK still seems on track this day I guess they could still do something to stop it before

01:00 Before Thursday, but this seems like it's really on track just everything drops. Everything's gone It's crazy Ireland now the same thing and Czech Republic But in in Belgium this morning Mass or the whole day I guess massive protests which have turned violent is a weird world You know that funny thing about these protests if you listen to the Listen to our news. I guess I didn't get it. Oh, maybe

01:40 If you listen to NPR, we have protests too. But our kids aren't doing what they're doing in Belgium... Our kids are protesting that they're not doing enough! They're not making us mask up enough! No! They're not making us take the shots! That's what our kids are protesting for. I thought that they just wanted more tests and no shots? Well, everything but the kids don't think their adults are harsh enough Do you have a clip of this? Because I'd like to hear that. I don't know if i have an exact clip of that but believe me, I heard it but they tried this one COVID shot kids choice. A California senator is proposing to allow children 12 and over to get vaccinated without their parents consent

CHAPTER 02 / 42 Discussion

California Senate Bill 866, Teens Choose Vaccines Act

Senator Scott Wiener introduced California Senate Bill 866, which would allow minors aged 12 to 17 to receive FDA-approved vaccines without parental consent. Proponents argue it empowers youth, while critics and parents express concern over the state overriding parental authority and the capacity of children to provide informed consent for medical procedures.

scott wiener· california· senate bill 866· parental consent· vaccination

02:27 Some parents say that this is the government overriding parent's authority. Senator Scott Weiner introduced a bill to allow teens ages 12-17 to receive the COVID-19 vaccine without parental consent. This will empower our youth. We know that currently in California, nearly 1 million 12-17 year olds are not vaccinated for COVID-19 Senate Bill 866, also known as the Teens Choose Vaccines Act was introduced on Thursday. If passed it would allow minors 12 and older to receive a dose without their parents permission as long as the vaccine is approved by the FDA On average COVID is less likely to be serious or create serious illness for teenagers teens do get sick So give them a shot This is twelve and over?

03:17 Yeah. So at 12 years old you can make a life-changing decision like that? This is fantastic! According to the state statistics, the 0 to 17 age group accounts for 0.1% of COVID deaths. Weiner argues this bill builds on existing law... Stop there! 0.1 percent?! Of the COVID deaths what is that 800 So 0.1% not that your likelihood of dying is zero point one it accounts for Zero point one of the total deaths which is probable, which I think is zero point one to begin with so something like 8000. That's eight thousand zero point 1 percent of the 800,000 will be a thousand seems like a lot

04:12 0.1 of the 8,000 to see 10% would be We we are possibly the worst Yes, yes we are Always get this wrong Well you have to have a pad and paper to do it right yeah well I'm doing it here on the on the calculator And I think sure there was a number of deaths It was zero point one or zero point zero one zero point one zero point one now of the total deaths were under this age. But it's beside the point, you're not... Well let the thing play on and then we'll have a little more details but this is kind of nuttiness that we have especially from a guy like this guy. This is Scott Wiener he's out of

04:56 the Bay Area and he's I'm on his mailing list so i get to see his stuff it's like brother joy what a joy it's like and he said openly gay male doesn't care about kids but he's gonna you know think this is great idea because against the numbers up And, uh... Hmm. Okay. Let's finish it off. The 17 age group accounts for 0.1% of COVID deaths. Weiner argues this bill builds on existing law that already allows kids 12 and older to consent to receiving the hepatitis B vaccine birth control and abortions I just dispute that number he's throwing out there because the mainstream numbers more like 800

05:39 So maybe he was, maybe he got his hair off. I think they did but yeah But then they can do all kinds of... They want the 12 year olds to be able to determine abortion Of course! Transgender medication anything Yes. Parents out of the loop? Yes, and I have a second series that clips it more one clip after this one but there's a part two of this yeah there is. The San Mateo senator received a mix of responses on Twitter the single biggest reason is most children don't make decisions that adults would make so informed consent is the biggest single issue that I see and children don't have the capacity to make

06:19 So I just think it's overreach. It's unnecessary, parents can make informed decisions for their children We know their background, their history, their risks profile etc... we care more about our kids than the state does i don't care what they say They're not as invested in our children as we are Another parent tells NTD he thinks legislation that chips away at the ability of a parent would be a huge mistake There should be a very high standard for overriding apparent or lawful guardians authority and only under the imminent or persistent and grave threat to the child's well-being. He says there are already established public school vaccination constructs, Child Protective Services and the courts to deal with those situations so there is no need to give minors authority over these decisions." This is really interesting that you bring this up

Melissa Harris-Perry, Collective Notion of Children Tangent

A 2013 clip featuring former MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry has resurfaced online, sparking debate over her comments regarding the "collective notion" of children. The footage suggests that children belong to whole communities rather than just their parents, a sentiment being linked by modern critics to current government vaccination policies.

melissa harris-perry· msnbc· public education· collective responsibility· viral video

07:07 Truly a report that is I mean this is reporting on just how great all this is. Thank did you see this? This clip that was going around of that of the The og joy read Melissa Harris Perry You remember her she was on MSNBC before joy, and she got she got fired in nothing 2016 or something so for some reason This clip resurfaces and everyone's yet And this is what's so hard about doing our show is So everyone's like, oh look at this! Look at this they want your children. They want you to... and look at this like but this has got to be old and so finally traced it down. This is a clip I think from 2013. This is nine years old It's really short But this at the same moment that you have this on your local news. This is going viral again after nine years

07:59 never invested as much in public education as we should have because we've always had kind of a private notion of children. Your kid is yours and totally your responsibility, We haven't had a very collective notion that these are our children so part of it is we have to break through our kinda private idea that kids belong to their parents or kids belong to their families and recognize that kids belong to whole communities once its everybody's responsibility and not just the households then we start making better investments All they needed was a vaccine. But we had that clip on our show, hello! Yeah that's what I'm saying. That's my point. Well that's why you picked up immediately somebody says hey look at this old clip We get too many old clips No but that's my point is this was going and i didn't just get it once You got it They've been doing now This has been going on for the entire time of our show and before

New Hampshire Ivermectin Custody Battle, J.R. Hoell

Former New Hampshire lawmaker J.R. Hoell faced an investigation by child protection workers after a nurse reported his family for using ivermectin to treat COVID-19. The state initially sought custody of his children following an unrelated emergency room visit for Tylenol ingestion, highlighting growing distrust between patients and medical professionals over politicized treatments.

j.r. hoell· new hampshire· ivermectin· child protective services· medical privacy

08:49 They're just trying to arrest the kids. They think we're Sparta! Let's grab the kids at birth, throw them in a camp turn them into soldiers Here's another example that follows up the clip I just played where they you know give the kid some autonomy let's play this one This is it just happened this is the Ivermectin story out of New Hampshire A custody battle is taking place in New Hampshire that's getting a lot of attention. In what may be the first-of its kind case, a father could lose his son for giving him ivermectin—a prescription drug used by some to treat COVID-19. NTD's Miguel Moreno reports

09:29 Former New Hampshire lawmaker J.R. Hull says that he gave his family ivermectin because they had COVID-19 That was in November According to Hull, they quickly recovered from the disease with no lasting side effects But he says that in December child protection workers and police officers were at his door ready to take his two kids who weren't home at the time So...so They were concerned I used a particular medication that's available online internationally, which is ivermectin. And I used it for myself our whole family used it to treat COVID and they didn't like that It's a very politicized drug

10:09 or politicized medication and they thought it was the root cause for all of the concerns relative to my son's visit to the emergency room. He says he had taken his son to the emergency room because the boy took too many Tylenol pills according to Hull that was seven to ten days after his son took his final dose of ivermectin So in his view, the boy's symptoms were unrelated to the anti-parasitic drug. The state initially sought Hole's son and daughter but Hole says that now only custody of his son is at risk. And how did the state find out that you gave your son ivermectin?

10:46 our nurse turned us into the state. There's the thing, what is going to develop out of this is an incredible distrust of the medical community because if you can't have a conversation with your doctor or in this case with about how you're treating your family because there's a threat that they're going to turn you into the state. People aren't gonna share pertinent information and that's going to lead to massive misdiagnosis of what the issue is we were being open and honest with what was going on trying to make sure our son was as healthy as possible Wow! How did the kid wind up taking seven or eight Tylenol?

11:26 Who knows? That's not explained. That doesn't help the story, but the nurse narking on the family that's got to be some kind of... well it is a breach of trust Yeah I think she should have been fired on the spot But no they're not going to do that She did everyone a favor It was this plague of ivermectin Australia now doctors can get six months prison If they prescribe ivermectin? It's so sad but it's also funny. It's hilarious! So we have, let's see... obviously they're still trying to keep this going

Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School, Vaccine Empathy Training

The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health launched a free two-hour course on Coursera designed to teach educators and community members how to talk to vaccine-hesitant parents. The curriculum emphasizes "pivoting to the truth" by listening with empathy and validating feelings before debunking misinformation.

12:15 At least some of the factions are doing this. This is, uh... Here's NPR doing their bit for the team! Just 28% of children ages 5 to 11 years old have gotten the first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and PRs Anya Kamenetz reports A new free online course is trying to change that The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health is offering a two-hour course on the platform Coursera to prepare educators and community members to talk to parents who have doubts about the vaccines. The course creators say start by listening with empathy, then tailor your responses to address the specific concerns that people express

12:57 Try to debunk misinformation and offer fact-checking from trusted sources without putting people down or mocking them. And if someone states a false belief, validate their feelings by acknowledging that it's hard to make our way through the disinformation landscape then pivot to the truth. Pivot to the truth baby! So it's really, let me write that down. Pivot to the truth. What? Show title. Yeah maybe, maybe pivot to the truth so yeah let's pivot to the truth then because people are starting to see stuff that is making them think and its really these local reports

CHAPTER 06 / 42 Discussion

Center for COVID Control, Fraud Lawsuits and Testing Outages

The Center for COVID Control is facing fraud lawsuits from Attorneys General in Minnesota and Illinois following allegations of lost samples and faked test results. Former employees reported that thousands of tests were stored in garbage bags and never processed, while some consumers received negative results despite never providing a sample.

center for covid control· minnesota· illinois· fraud· covid-19 testing

13:37 like the one you just played made us think in a different way. This is from Minnesota on the local ABC affiliate, The center for COVID control tonight facing this fraud lawsuit filed by Minnesota's attorney general These entities collected samples from Minnesotans for COVID-19 testing but either failed to deliver test results or delivered test results that were false or inaccurate They would either not process the tests in time so that it couldn't get released in time or they would have lost the actual result to the test, or they would have

14:19 never even process a test. Michael Pino says while he worked here from September into late December so many tests were coming in for processing that they were stored in these garbage bags They came in these trash bags and we counted them on the floor of an office building People see this, you know this is the local news This is what people actually watch like hold on a second What's going on? It's also happening in Illinois. The Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raul released a statement last night saying in part that although the company voluntarily suspended operations, my office contacted company officials to demand that the Center for COVID Control immediately stop engaging in any fraudulent or deceptive conduct

15:03 particularly with respect to the delivery of testing results or billing. The Illinois Attorney General's office says they have made that decision after receiving numerous complaints ranging from results gone missing to results that are inaccurate NBC5 response talked to a man who says he went to one of their locations in December with his wife and daughter but after seeing how chaotic it was inside, he decided to leave without giving a sample And about five hours later, all three of us got emails saying that our samples had been collected and our tests had come back negative. You know it's like I don't know leaving a sample...I don't know what Bill Gates is thinking but he better hurry up with whatever magical test to stay device he has well they're gonna have to deal with the we haven't we had a similar news story here i didn't clip it because

15:56 It was really a promotion. This company, I think it's called Summer Bio they have created an assembly line process almost like a FMC kind of you know if you look at these factories that make cookies and different kinds of ice cream treats there is this huge assembly line dripping the stuff on here then goes to the next thing... Oh it's a food processor? Yeah its' a food processor It's only they're processing these tests and so they've created this little mini robot-like system that can process a hundred thousand tests today. And so they've been flying these tests in from all over, I mean far away from Monterrey and other places like that. They run them through here and they're at capacities 100 000. They think they can franchise the operation to create these other facilities that can do this so you don't have what you just showed is really going on which is just a bunch of fraud. Yeah, throwing it in garbage bags not even processing it! People get results no matter what oh that's all good just mark that off Bill

16:59 Yeah, what do you call them? The government health people. Not that this is government corporations but it's the same problem. Rat poop inspectors! Yes exactly And I'm sure that these are people who are under stress and there's no one wants to work, and they're like oh well you know no one showing up. They don't want to do that! No no they wanna go out in front of an audience with a microphone because something they've never gotten to do in their entire life with the MPH that they received, the Masters of Public Health which is not a doctors degree by any means so now they can tell people what to do and boss them around which is what they've always wanted to do it looks like

Pennsylvania Monkey Escape, Route 54 Truck Crash

A transport truck carrying 100 monkeys to a laboratory in Missouri collided with a dump truck on Route 54 in Pennsylvania, leading to the escape of several animals. A local woman, Michelle Fallon, was monitored by health officials after coming into contact with a crate, while three of the escaped monkeys were eventually located and euthanized.

17:35 So in true American fashion, when people are starting to look around you get some of these local reports. You know we got to do something on a grand scale to get people on edge just a little bit What can we do? Here's the meeting that we would have Remember we all consulted on that movie with Dustin Hoffman? Remember that one? Oh yes Outbreak! Yes Outbreak! Outbreak what happened in outbreak It was a monkey! State police and the Pennsylvania gang commission spent Friday night searching for four monkeys in the wooded area along Route 54 off Interstate 80, hours after the animals escaped from their transport truck that collided with a dump truck. Troopers tell us the transport truck was carrying 100 monkeys from Africa taking them to a lab in Missouri. Eyewitness news confirmed three out of the four were found and put down. Michelle Fallon spoke to us at the scene late Friday night she told us she was driving

18:30 behind the truck just before the crash happened and thought it was crates of cats that had toppled. They had this like green cloth over so I peel back and i go to stick my finger in there to try to pet it, and it pops its head up and I'm like oh it's a monkey! So I was like, I'm shocked. So I walked over to the guy and I'm like they're not cats They're monkeys because they're what? Even though the search was suspended Saturday interest in the missing monkey continues last night I was just scrolling through my phone and I saw about it and that was pretty weird My mom came into my room and asked me about it asked me to help go when you listen to this report Okay And this is almost over This sounds so much like

19:10 The fake news would be in a movie about a monkey on its way to a lab in Missouri. There's a lady who touched the monkey, she put her hand into the box thinking it was cats and then you get this stoner dude who is like yeah man that was pretty weird there's like a monkey out on the loose man! And there's no rationale for these public health measures so go and live your life Oops sorry Monkey continues. Last night I was just scrolling through my phone and i saw people posting about it and thought that was pretty weird then my mom came into my room asked me to help go look for the monkeys TJ Stackley works at a fast food restaurant close to the crash he says this area is usually quiet, but still can't believe what happened everyone's talking about it pretty much its talk of town now we checked in with Michelle Fallon Saturday morning she talked- wait wait hey son? what mom

20:03 Hey, Mom. Come on! Get up get up get up put us some clothes on we're gonna go look for the monkey That's exactly right this is a movie script all right so uh... We want to- Do I have too? What?! Look for what monkey? We wanna put a package together that we can have you know kind of as a local report and we'll get a stoner dude who's like hey man everyone's it was like its the talk of the town its the monkey were going looking for this monkey yeah there's a lady who touched the monkey Talk of the town now. She's patient zero!

20:50 Fallon spoke to me this morning and she said fortunately she's not experiencing any symptoms however, she was told if she is then she has to reach out to the state health department now State Trooper hasn't provided an update on the search for the last monkey. Now color me crazy but this lady came in contact with a monkey from Africa on its way to the lab and they just let her go home? They need them they need to put a bag over this lady's head! Put her in quarantine right away I want to get this straight. So she's in a car and there's a dump truck, not a dump truck, what is it? A pickup or something with a cage in the back? A truck with cages yeah and I think it was an accident. It was two-car collision so that so the truck with the cages plows into the dump truck or the dump truck hits this thing. We don't know which one yeah yeah. It doesn't mean...it seems more likely you'd hit the dump truck because they don't go that fast

21:47 And, uh... I don't know about the dump truck. The dump truck was not- He said dump truck! He specifically said DUMP TRUCK?! Yeah Wow Okay Right at the beginning of the report it's first thing i noticed because im always amused by the idea of something hitting a dump truck It's not a good idea Hold on a second. I want to hear this beginning State police and the Pennsylvania Game Commission spent Friday night searching for four monkeys in the wooded area along Route 54 off Interstate 80 hours after the animals escaped from their transport truck that collided with a dump truck Oh Collided with a dump truck, the transport truck collided with a dump truck it hit the dump truck okay got it always comedic Good point! This is scripted

22:34 Put yourself in the woman's shoes. She sees a truck hit a dump truck and she, for some dumb reason instead of going around this unfortunate wreck she stops gets out and goes and sticks her hand into a cage Was that something anyone you know would do? Yes! That would be the dude's mom in the clip. That is the one who did that and then she came back to her son and said, hey man I touched a monkey let us go look for it That's how you tie it all together. This story falls apart, it stinks! Well this is the story... It has gotten quite a lot of attention. The monkeys. There's just one on the loose John, just one. One lone monkey from Africa on his way to a lab in Missouri Do we have any BSL level biosecurity? Not that I know of but it wouldn't surprise me if there weren't. Let me see... Biosecurity labs

23:37 in Missouri I think if there's one there hmm could be a black lab yeah yeah man you have a white lab no it's an akbar now it's a joke is that Joe I know I hear ya I hear ya us BSL levers well maybe one of the trolls can find it But just adding a monkey to it, it makes it a good story. I like it! Yeah you always want monkeys So now we have Fauci also trying to do his bit to prolong everything and he does something fantastic in this minute-long clip where he somehow is able to tell us that the next danger that we have to be on the lookout for... ...is what exactly just happened now with Omicron

CHAPTER 08 / 42 Discussion

Anthony Fauci, Future COVID-19 Variant Scenarios

Dr. Anthony Fauci outlined best and worst-case scenarios for the next six months of the pandemic, warning of potential new variants that could elude existing immune protection. He noted that while Omicron has caused high infection rates, its impact on hospitalizations differs from previous waves like Delta.

anthony fauci· omicron· variants· hospitalizations· immunity

24:27 What is your best guess about what the next six months will look like with respect to COVID-19? Could you please lay out several possible different scenarios. The best case scenario is that the description that Dr. Walensky just gave us about the diminution in cases to and the protection afforded by prior infection will have a level of protection in the community so that you won't get the situation where there's enough activity which leads to hospitalizations, deaths and stressing the healthcare system. That's the best case scenario. The worst case scenario is something we have to be prepared for. And that is we do get down

25:27 to a level that we would say would be adequate control. But, we're faced with another surprise with the variant that's so different that it eludes the accumulation of immune protection that we've gotten from vaccinations and from prior infections. Isn't that exactly what Omicron was? It's like it would went around vaccinations, people who had even been sick with Delta. Yeah but except Omicron hasn't been hospitalizing people enough No! This is so over and you notice now they're starting to slip in the well...you know if you have had COVID and you have natural immunity then you're kind of vaccinated because under the technical term Thank you for

Chicago COVID-19 Transmission, Allison Arwady

Chicago Public Health Commissioner Allison Arwady reported that while Omicron cases are decreasing, the city remains at a very high transmission risk. Despite the downward trend in daily cases, officials maintain that mask mandates will remain in place until hospital strain further subsides.

chicago· allison arwady· omicron peak· mask mandates· hospitalizations

26:12 professional sports for starting that trend. Yeah, did you see the NFL? I'm going to play this clip that is a good example of everything you're talking about which is what's going on in Chicago where it's peaking but you know...I don't know we should still be super cautious. This Omicron peaking butt! The Omicron surge of coronavirus infections appears to have started to peak nationally, though in some specific places they're still spiking. And there are still some 160 thousand people hospitalized for COVID around the country but in Chicago cases are on their way back down although as Araceli Gomez-Aldana of member station WBEZ reports there's stil a long way to go before mask mandates are lifted

26:58 Chicago Public Health Commissioner Allison Arbody says new cases, test positivity and hospitalizations mean Chicago remains in very high COVID transmission risk. At the same time she says those numbers are decreasing which makes for tricky messaging. And the last thing that I want to do is give a false sense of security we have reached that peak of Omicron but the peak of Omicron just means It's not getting worse. Our Woody remains concerned about the strain on the city's hospitals across the city some 200 people are still being hospitalized with COVID daily Chicago is averaging more than 2,800 cases per day down about half from last week that's your beef right there

27:39 How about that's good news lady? Oh, no. That just means all make it good news oh No, oh no by the way my daughter I told you but yes She went on this to a cabin with a bunch of people and they all got the wrong her boyfriend who had recently Omicron mm-hmm And oh it turns out one of them almost You know mentioned the name but one of them ended up in the hospital. Oh, no Yeah, that was the one that was double vaccinated and double boosted. Oh no! Is that other one okay? I guess yeah... But it's still in the hospital? I don't know It was just amusing to a degree. Well not amusing but in a very morbid sense. Yes yes very dark very dark

CHAPTER 10 / 42 Discussion

Canadian Trucker Convoy, Border Vaccine Mandates

Canadian truck drivers are planning a convoy to Ottawa to protest new border requirements that mandate PCR testing and quarantine for unvaccinated drivers. The Canadian Trucking Alliance estimates that up to 15% of cross-border drivers could be sidelined, further straining an already fragile global supply chain.

canada· ottawa· trucking· vaccine mandate· supply chain

28:35 You know, so it seems clear that people are starting to just get... we want to get out. I don't think people are looking at QR codes as much in the US at least and in Europe there's still a lot happening Canada. So here is another one of these things which is totally baffling Why are you going to do this now? Now that things really started to get into place where we don't know I should answer my own question because they want to kill everything and everybody in the world. Listen to this insanity! There are now new border crossing requirements for Canadian truck drivers who are not fully vaccinated as of Saturday, they will need to produce PCR test results collected within 72 hours of arriving at the Canadian border and quarantine after arrival unvaccinated US drivers will be denied entry We would have liked to seen an extension of time

29:26 And I know there's probably a lot of people out there that said COVID has been going on for a long time. Our industry knew about this since November, but there was always hope that it would go away." Shelley Walker with the Women's Trucking Federation of Canada says she heard from some drivers who returned from the U.S before the policy took effect at midnight. A few of them put in 16 hour driving day but they were not getting stranded down in the US There is shortage PCR tests and where do you go in a vehicle that's 70, 75 feet long? While Canadian drivers will not be denied entry those who do not follow the policy could face enforcement action or fines. Walker says truckers are planning a convoy to Ottawa in protest Our supply chain is already hurting and we're just about to make it worse The Canadian Trucking Alliance has said between 10-15% of cross border drivers could be lost during an already ongoing labour shortage

30:19 It just makes no sense. I don't know what they're thinking, why would you do this? They're freaked out! Well they're freaked out by losing their power that's the only thing you can think of and meanwhile... I mean, this has got to be partially an attack on Biden for whatever political reasons. I'm not sure exactly what the strategy is yet but The New York Times... New York Times! This is the economics reporter Peter Goodman Here's what he has to say Oh and uh..I should actually say... Warning Amy Goodman clip inbound Do you think billionaires are now trillionaires have prolonged the pandemic? I don't think there are any questions What?!

CHAPTER 11 / 42 Discussion

Amy Goodman and Peter Goodman, Billionaire Pandemic Profits

New York Times reporter Peter Goodman appeared on Democracy Now! to discuss how billionaire profits and pharmaceutical patents have allegedly prolonged the pandemic. The discussion focused on the refusal of companies like Pfizer and Moderna to share vaccine technology with the developing world.

31:02 Who's a trillionaire? Name one. This is why the trigger warning clip was played and you heeded no, no warning! You went straight into trigger mode She said trillionaires I'm sure in Satoshi there are some trillionaires around Do you think billionaires and now trillionaires have prolonged the pandemic I don't think there's any question that they've prolonged the pandemic. The fact that we have Omicron is a direct result of our unwillingness to challenge patents, to challenge the monopoly profits of companies like Pfizer and Moderna. We have effectively subsidized those profits through the tune of our own suffering. That has extended this pandemic.

31:49 extended the pandemic. That's big words for the New York Times, right? Into these old clips I played a guy, I don't know, month ago of Amy and her early policy in their policy clips about why are we if we have a cure and this is such as pandemic that it's going to kill everybody it's gonna, it's the most dangerous thing ever released the dogs release the dogs cut off these patents and just make everybody make the vaccine if it's that great yeah no So we have an overall awareness. Former New York Times staff writer Barry Weiss Who has gone semi off the reservation, at least off the New York Times reservation. Did you see her on Bill Maher? He died in a Substack Reservation Well she's yeah with Substack I'm sure she's finally making real money doing Substack And she's got an interesting cross-section of audience She was on The Bill Maher Show which this last episode is one to watch because you know Bill Maher is just like

Bari Weiss on Bill Maher, Pandemic of Bureaucracy

Journalist Bari Weiss appeared on Real Time with Bill Maher to declare she is "done" with COVID-19 restrictions, labeling the current state a "pandemic of bureaucracy." She criticized the continued use of cloth masks and virtual schooling, citing a 51% increase in self-harm among young girls as a catastrophic moral cost of the policies.

32:46 I'm not having this anymore. No more, he's just done with it and that is exactly why he had Barry Weiss on. Listen to this. I'm done. It's like, I went so hard on COVID. Yeah, I remember. I raid the Pringles cans that I bought at the grocery store stripped my clothes off because I thought COVID would be on my clothes Like...I did it all! I watched Tiger King and got to the end of Spotify We all did it right? No, no we didn't all do it. Okay well here's the thing a lot of us- No we didn't all do it. A lot of us did it. You hear Bill Maher go, no! We didn't all do that! I had other things to do with my time. Like I did it all. I watched Tiger King and got to the end of Spotify like...we all did it right? And- No, no we didn't all do it. Okay well here's the thing a lot of us- No we didn't all do it. A lot of us did do it and then we were told you get the vaccine. You get the vaccine and you get back to normal

33:45 By the way, stop it. Stop the clip! What kind of reverse virtue signaling was that? Which part? You made me listen to it twice so now I'm irked about it Oh no we didn't all do that We didn't... She's on a- she's doing a bit She didn't do it either. She wasn't stripping her clothes off every day, but she was just trying to explain and he's a professional comic stepping all over her act? That's a good point It's because his emotions got in the way I think. He is so pissed off about the whole situation and he's...I mean it's weird because- Yeah that's fine, you can be pissed off but that doesn't mean you have to step all over somebody's bit! This is a bitch she's doing She's on her roll And he steps all over her He lost his composure! I didn't do that! It's his emotions, he lost his composure this is part of what's happening Professionals are losing their shit!

34:45 it. And then we were told you get the vaccine, you get the vaccine and you get back to normal and we haven't gotten back to normal. It's ridiculous at this point I know that so many of my liberal and progressive friends are with me on this, and they do not want to say it out loud because they are scared to be called anti-vax or to be called science denial. Or to be smeared as a Trumper. I'm sorry if you believe the science, you will look at the data that we did not have two years ago, and you will find out Cloth masks do not do anything. You will realize that you can show your vaccine passport at a restaurant and still be asymptomatic and carrying Omicron, and you will realize most importantly that this is going to be remembered by the younger generation as a catastrophic moral crime

35:38 The city of Flint, Michigan which is 80% I think minority students has just announced indefinite virtual schooling. In the past two years we've seen among young girls a 51% increase in self harm people are killing themselves they're anxious they are depressed they're lonely that is why we need to end it more than any inconvenience that it's been to the rest It's like at this point, it's a pandemic of bureaucracy. It's a pandemic of bureaucracy." Yeah you're right and then she launched tried to launch her meme at the end of the bit there The Pandemic Of Bureaucracy which I like but since it's hard to spell...it'll never work! It's hard to spell! I was trying to write it down. Bureaucracy b-u-r-e-a-c-y c-r-a-c-y It's hard! You can't meme that No

36:33 It was a nice try though. I mean, I appreciate the effort. Yeah she's off the reservation and they said like the fact she of course names herself as a liberal progressive which is of course everybody at The New York Times yes they don't know quite what to do with themselves now that they figured out their wrong yeah turns out the conspiracy theorist podcasters were right whoops whoops we're eating your lunch too look at all the ad money were taken away oh wait Well, us not necessarily. No! Not at all! That's the funny part. It's Facebook taking away all the ad money. Yes correct So I got two more clips that have to do with this one is the Deja... I listened to this and i just say didn't we hear this already but it's brand new which is The Mandate's Overturned

CHAPTER 13 / 42 Discussion

Federal Employee Vaccine Mandate, Judge Jeffrey Brown Ruling

U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Brown issued a ruling blocking the Biden administration's vaccine mandate for federal employees, arguing that the government lacked the statutory authority to enforce such a requirement. The case, filed in Texas, is expected to be appealed to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.

jeffrey brown· joe biden· vaccine mandate· federal employees· texas

37:25 Okay. Well, good afternoon everyone the only exception to President Biden's vaccine mandate for federal employees was for those who received medical or religious exemptions which have been hard to come by U.S District Judge Jeffrey Brown who was appointed by then-President Donald Trump worked expeditiously to make the ruling on the case only about a month after it was filed Brown made the ruling on the same day federal employees could have been disciplined for not being vaccinated Robert Heneke, executive director and general counsel for the Texas Public Policy Foundation said the Biden administration didn't have the authority they claimed to enforce vaccine mandates. The government pointed to three statutes that it argued gave it authority and very methodically Judge Brown walked through each of the statutes that were claimed by the Biden administration as giving it the authority to do this

38:17 And he examined said each of those three statutes doesn't say you can do this. And so, you're seeing that as a common characteristic the Biden administration is issuing these sweeping mandates just on its own when they're being challenged in court they're trying to point to some kind of vague statute to say that this arguably could give them the power to do so and judges are correctly examining the text of the statute and saying no Congress never gave you this authority. Heneke says Judge Brown made the right decision, but there is a bigger picture that is being missed when judges have blocked the vaccine mandates. They're getting to the right outcome but the courts are only addressing these vaccine mandates by looking at specific text of the statute and deciding for themselves whether that statute gives the federal government power under that law

39:18 It's missing the bigger context, the bigger question as to constitutionality. Forget what the specific statute may or may not say does a federal government have constitutional authority command Americans to take a medical procedure that they don't want for themselves? I think under the Constitution answer is clearly no Well, no. That's why they don't want to address that of course! No one wants to be the guy who has to debate that one it's not a career builder either way well this is gonna...this mandate is going to hold up because it's gonna go to the Fifth Appeals Court and they're very libertarian You mean so it can't come back to the Supreme Court after that? Which judge just blocked them? It's really hardening What?! Well there was a federal judge in Texas

40:12 Yeah, that's this guy. Okay? You'll be able to follow it because it's gonna be a Texas thing yeah exactly but so you that'll be overturned in the fifth and then but then no it's not gonna be overturned It will be a state or whatever confirmed okay And but then someone could still take it to the Supreme Court But they just want they probably don't want it by this time. Yeah, this thing I don't want to touch it No They don't want to touch well Okay, so it blows over. We get there eventually It looks for us I think your initial assessment based upon the pattern of the 1918 pandemic is April May The UK now...I've read and I've heard some rumblings that somehow legally they could

CHAPTER 14 / 42 Discussion

Ireland Reopening, Behavioral Research on Public Anxiety

Dr. Pete Lunn, head of behavioral research at ESRI, discussed the psychological challenges of reopening Ireland after years of government-led behavioral messaging. Experts suggest that some members of the public have become so accustomed to restrictions that they view a return to normal society as a "deviant" or high-risk position.

ireland· pete lunn· esri· propaganda· social distancing

40:59 even though plan B which lifts all mandates and masks everything, which is lifted as of this coming Thursday. What's that? Plan A? I have no idea what it is. Boris Johnson said it so who knows if its true So I think they still have some emergency powers where they could switch it back up until February 6th. I'm not sure if that's true or not, but the Czech Republic is going completely dropping all mandates and Ireland and there was a one of our producers sent me two short clips from an Irish radio show and It said discussion and one of the speakers is dr.. Pete Lund he's the head of behavioral research

41:44 at ESRI, which is some university and they're talking about opening up Ireland and that this is something we might have to listen to maybe prepare for what's coming for us because it's not just gonna be hey all right everything's gone everything's dropped all good-to-go back to normal people are going to freak out over that. There's no rationale for these public health measures so go on live your life But do you not think there's an element though, Ciara of that people are so brainwashed by and it was Pete you'd agree propaganda for the last few years effective and true unnecessary propaganda maybe but people are so brainwashed by it. Some people now almost think that the norm is that society should be shut down and that opening it up is kind of the deviant position and why would you be opening

42:36 That's coming here, there is no doubt about that. There is no doubt about it because of some of the clips I didn't get which I mentioned which are all the kids protesting because schools and parents were not strict enough even though I think those are phony and trumped up by media at the same time It's just obvious that people are buying it. Here is part two to that. But then moving on to people's kind of anxiety with this, I mean given how quickly this has happened psychologically...I think we've got a lot of explaining to do actually so i mean this is great news and I don't want in any way detract from there but I think there were a lot of people who now don't get the narrative where are we going next what am I supposed to do? How much do I alter the dial on how much risk to take you know Do I still need to be 2 meters from people should I still avoid crowded situations

43:24 Yeah, people are gonna be confused. They won't know what to... Hey! What are we doing? I should just stay indoors it's better and safer Well those people should stay indoors So i think that the way this wraps up as you know we're going to get pretty close to the end here will just be confirmation from here on out except for the political part which is just I don't see the path yet for that President Harris huge, I think they still would like to get people using some kind of passport but it'll boil down to it's not really that important. But whether you've been vaccinated doesn't really matter or I don't know if you'll have to be fully boosted maybe there will be that requirement we have different up-to-date different color levels for how up-to-date you are but if you had natural immunity then you also be using the passport so be a very small number of people who want

US-China Flight Suspensions, Anal Swab Testing

The U.S. Transportation Department announced the suspension of 44 flights to China by Chinese airlines in retaliation for China's decision to block U.S. flights over COVID-19 concerns. Meanwhile, reports indicate that Beijing has reintroduced anal swab testing for certain residents ahead of the Winter Olympics.

china· department of transportation· air china· beijing· covid testing

44:20 And that's really, that's all they need is just to have that mechanism in place I think. As long as we have something we got people install some piece of software that we can do stuff with and you know eventually pour the central bank digital dollar, the federal digital dollar into it. Did you see that they announced their studying it with MIT? Yeah The Fed? Yeah Well, that should be interesting. That's all you want... chumps! Hey you know I see them doing it if China does it they'd have to almost have to do but then setting parameters around it you know it'll be just like cash mm-hmm Talking about China? I had my last COVID clip which is not a COVID clip but it's about the back and forth going on between China United States regarding flights

45:10 Oh, yeah. Okay. Now we're getting flights blocked both ways. The Transportation Department is going to block 44 flights heading to China operated by four Chinese airlines the suspension will go into effect January 30th and end on March 29th this is in response to China's decision to block several US airline flights over COVID concerns The four Chinese airlines impacted are Xiamen Airlines, Air China, China Southern Airlines and China Eastern Airlines. Yeah this is... we're waging war over the convenience of the human resources of the world

45:54 That's what's going on here. Oh, you don't want to vote our way in the United Nations Security Council about North Korea sanctions? Okay! Then no flights for you!" To which then China says oh we're just gonna shut down the ports-no goods for you who is running this show?! Who is... China... I saw this was funny This showed up on RT of course or was it Brighton? No, it was RT China brings back anal swab coronavirus test in Beijing. Was this thing ever proven to be true or not? Well, it has to be kind of true because they can take... although I was skeptical and still am where they're taking municipal wastewater and they're determining how many people have got COVID based on the crap that they process so a swab should work Yeah well at the waste water that would make sense

46:57 You can target... No, but I'm just saying if the wastewater contains crap that has... Yeah. No yeah no I understand. I understand. I'm just saying that in that context that the wastewater testing that's much better for finding out you know if you need to shut down an apartment building as for targeting purposes. It is pretty obvious who who was positive when using the anal swab it's one person! That'd be so cool that future where we just lock people down on their own homes were so used to it now You haven't been good. We can see that you're positive. There's too many gay, too many humorous directions you can go with this material. Pretty shitty. Exactly. Let me see what else I had on this... Yeah now i think that's kind of it. What I see is the only ways out

CHAPTER 16 / 42 Discussion

World Economic Forum, Elite Trust and Jacob Rothschild

At the World Economic Forum in Davos, surveys indicate that while global elites trust each other more, public trust in those same elites has plummeted. An anecdote regarding Jacob Rothschild being confronted on the street illustrates the perceived disconnect between the billionaire class and the general public.

davos· world economic forum· jacob rothschild· elites· trust survey

47:57 for the power hungry and you know, for the political set that has been abusing us and abusing the world with this thing is climate change cyber pandemic. And then maybe eventually some kind of financial thing but it's all it's five years away at least don't you think they got to do a lot of stuff here? There's a lot of study we have to analyze what we just went through and see where the weak spots were, what the mistakes were why we didn't get everybody on board. What was the reason with these outliers? Yes! Like 30% of the public why didn't they buy in at all? Oh here's something... It's happening right now you're absolutely right this is happening right now The self-analysis is going on at the World Economic Forum This is the theme for this year's symposium is the great negative

48:53 These people! And listen to this self-reflection. At Davos a few years ago, the Edelman survey showed us that the good news is the elite across the world trust each other more and more so we can come together and design and do beautiful things together. The bad news is that in every single country they were polling, the majority of people trusted that elite less I'm glad you got that clip because i had it lost it so they tell you that in my mind somewhere. I look at this clip and like this could easily be from three years ago, and I wouldn't know it And I tried finding years ago if you have no idea anymore It's really annoying. I don't know where that were that when that clip was done but

49:42 When I heard it, it was like yeah these elite this is exactly right these elites elites which we've all now We're adopting the fact that they call themselves elites. This is crazy. I think so Yeah, well not all of them. Well she just did yeah She did but I think there's more of a European thing and she had a slight accent I don't think American do that so much no No yet But I'm sure they feel that way and it's like, yeah you know the people...I think we're more self-aware about at least not being well liked. Whereas the European at least I can see them not understanding it. It's like one of my favorite

50:25 Things I saw these on 60 minutes or is on some it was on or maybe it's not a video pike or something Some guy went up to Jacob Rothschild. You've probably seen this clip Some dick goes up the Jacob Rothschild who just roams around like a normal person in his garden No, no he wanted a street on the street Yeah, yeah He's gonna walk to his house The guy follows him all the way to his mansion Yeah, and he follows him. He's haranguing him! Yeah And I mean Rothschild has got no bodyguards... you know he just some... You know? He is a banker. He is retired. He is just an old man what really is. And you know it was... couldn't even understand what the guy was talking about. You guys are ruining the world. I'm trying to get home What your point that he's not evil because he's a senile old man

51:16 No, I think he wasn't senile to say the least because they interviewed him later. But he's old that's for sure but it's just like they have a cavalier attitude because of their elite status They really have this belief that they're like above it all in some funny way It's not something we can understand in United States is really alien Yeah I mean here, you know some guy makes half a million dollars a year. Some of these guys got bodyguards and they go around with an entourage... You get that special insurance where it's not the life insurance it's not listed anywhere only a special code can be used to claim the insurance and their amount is not known all these things

Mark Cuban, Cost Plus Drug Company Launch

Billionaire Mark Cuban launched an online pharmacy aimed at providing affordable generic drugs, though skeptics question his lack of experience in the pharmaceutical industry. The move is compared to his previous unsuccessful venture into the podcasting space with a "Clubhouse-style" app that failed to gain traction.

mark cuban· pharmacy· generic drugs· podcast movement· broadcast.com

52:11 I used to get those calls. I would laugh, what am i going to divvy up? And for John you get my mark of the unicorn audio device so you can continue with the show no no yeah they need a mac Mark Cuban speaking of elites is opening up an online pharmacy to provide affordable generic drugs This has scam written all over it with this guy. So wait, let me get this... I was thinking about this actually when i woke up from some crazy dream and I was thinking about different people that go into businesses where they've had no experience whatsoever ever

52:55 And because you never want to throw out somebody, I think what we can do is go make some money doing this. Well have you ever been in the business? No! So Mark Cuban's net... his business really is a basketball owner and something of an...I wouldn't call him a scammer per se but he has broadcast dot com which is sold for $3 billion or something. He just did a great job with that, he was early in and early out very smart guy. Can't be jealous it was just he just did a great job on getting that timing mm-hmm and he does what he wants to do so his and but he did HDTV he was into that for awhile and he got pretty good at it but it wasn't you know it wasn't network quality, it wasn't high end, it wasn't exponential the growth wasn't there

53:41 So what does he know about drug pharmacies that he wants to do this? You know the old sayings in his valley was always, uh... What was it when you had a lot of skills in some arena. It was called... Randy Komizar? There's a term for it. Entrepreneur-in-Residence No, I'm confusing you now. I'm sorry. Master of jack-of-all trades... But the point is that he's got no business doing this? No! This is going to be exactly like him doing the keynote at the podcast movement, The Big Podcast Conference announcing oh yeah this is the future of podcasting

54:25 with his fire hose or whatever it was called. I don't remember any of this! Yeah, they gave him the keynote speech of course... Or he paid for it that's usually how it works with uh... I think he has enough celebrity appeal for the podcast conference organizers like oh Mark Cuban is going to do the keynote which he did with some- On podcasting? Yeah with some... How come you didn't get the keynote?! You actually, you know what? They because they want you to pay for it. You actually know something about podcasting! No no they always want me to sponsor this is from the first podcast conference where they said hey man you know if got VC money you should come do the keynotes I'd love to do a keynote yeah but you need to sponsor for $20,000 and not gonna sponsor 20 thousand dollars we spend that money on doing shit well man that's not cool you're fucking the community

55:17 That's beside the point. No, but usually conferences that's where they make their kind of upfront money is sell those sponsorships it's pay to speak that's what it is so no I'm not into that but you can get a name big enough and I think Cuban probably qualified and he had a big announcement and it was dumb! It was Clubhouse for podcasting and it failed at launch with all kinds... a year ago? Like three, like nine months ago. Yeah yeah thing never... it kind of launched and you know it's just this was a mess! You know there's like you own your own content and then the terms of service said we own the content anyway so you know the elites are just mucking up the waters although not happening in your neck of the woods

Al Gore, Regenerative Farming and Carbon Pollution

Former Vice President Al Gore appeared on CBS to promote regenerative farming as a method to trap carbon emissions in topsoil. Gore characterized carbon dioxide as "man-made global warming pollution," comparing the atmosphere to an "open sewer" while advocating for a shift away from traditional plowing.

al gore· cbs news· regenerative farming· carbon dioxide· pollution

56:10 in many places, and also not in mine by the way. Many places in the United States... this is an article I'm reading here US food supply under pressure from processing plants to store shelves grocery store shelves have gotten harder to fill as workers calling in sick about its continuing supply and transportation disruptions so whatever the reason or compounded reasons there's shortages and it's probably going to get worse And this is where we need to slip in some climate change stuff Because that's our real problem is the carbon and the food and how it's made. And he's back, Al Gore! Former Vice President Al Gore took us for a ride in his electric ATV I bet most people don't think of you as Farmer Al No

56:57 I don't think so. And truth to tell, I don't have many calluses on my abs in it." But this land outside Nashville is also Gore's climate change laboratory. He's collecting a soil sample as he experiments with what's known... I thought that was talking about one of his massage therapists? No no see those stories they never get brought back up again but i just did Yeah, say it again because people forget. Al Gore was busted for being a douchebag he should have been cancelled but I don't know how we cancel this guy because he's the climate change guy you should've been canceled because he was making lewd comments and dropping his towel around all these massage people who bring him up to his room

57:49 It's all documented. And then he'd, you know... Oh look at this! Well this is an interesting thing here what do you think that's gonna do? Ooh my towel dropped! I'm not gonna put up with this. Yeah, what was this? What was this? Hold on a second... This is... When did that happen? We had food or something. I have a clip from it. Umm.. This is from 2015. We had clips during that era. My exclusive interview with Bachelor Jake's coming up but right now another Al Gore scandal! Wooo! It was the cheating rumors and now accusations of sexual assault. Ha ha ha ha He's collecting a soil sample.

58:39 as he experiments with what's known as regenerative farming. That means cut back on the plowing, there are better ways to plant. There is actually three times more carbon stored in the topsoil of the earth than all trees and plants combined. By plowing less and making that soil more fertile scientists say farmers could help trap massive amounts of additional planet warming carbon emissions in the ground. Job number one is to stop using the sky as an open sewer for all of this man-made global warming pollution and that's what making I just love how he makes carbon dioxide sound like diarrhea

59:18 I mean, that's some wordsmithing there. I have to hand it to Al here. Using the sky as an open sewer for all of this man-made global warming pollution and that's what making the weather crazy and dangerous. Crazy! He says Mother Nature is now making the most effective argument for climate action And he is encouraged by the rapid growth in solar and wind power But the planet is still rapidly warming as we continue to pump near record amounts of pollution into the sky. There's all this progress being made, but is it enough? A realist will tell you look we've done some damage some of it regrettably is not recoverable but We go from where we are

59:59 We go from where we are. Who's doing this? Where did this come from? CBS, CBS, CBS This Weekend The guy doing the report says pollution and he is referring to natural carbon dioxide Yes! Pollution And methane which are all natural they come from the earth it's organic POLLUTION It's brown, it's like an open sewer up there from the pollution. Yeah this is narrative for me and what's interesting is I've been following regenerative farming and my brain was hurting why would Al Gore promote something that's actually good?

Climate TRACE, Al Gore Satellite Monitoring Platform

Al Gore is a major investor in Climate TRACE, a technology platform that uses satellites and artificial intelligence to monitor greenhouse gas emissions globally. The tool is intended to hold countries and individual landowners accountable for their carbon footprints, potentially facilitating a global carbon credit exchange.

climate trace· al gore· satellites· artificial intelligence· carbon credits

1:00:41 And I'm not talking about the CO2, although sure that's fine we just keep it in the earth. But going back to and then i'm not talking about throwing herbicides and pesticides on it and not tilling but you know having cow manure pig manure chicken manure etc how can this douchebag elite be promoting the right thing? It's almost like did they capture the term is there something I'm missing And after some sleuthing, ah okay I understand what's going on here. Here is part two of this series from CBS This Weekend. Gore is a major investor in a new tech platform called Climate Trace It uses satellites sensors and artificial intelligence to track greenhouse gas emissions around the globe. Gore believes this will be an important tool to hold countries accountable for their pollution We're not the climate cops

1:01:31 Maybe the neighborhood watch, but our neighborhood is the whole world. We're in constant communication with the scientific community. Al Gore has been sounding the climate alarm for more than four decades first as a young congressman... The Arctic is experiencing faster melting. And then 15 years ago with his planetary PowerPoint in the film An Inconvenient Truth The crisis is still getting worse faster than we're deploying the solutions. There is a remaining question about whether we will solve it in time. He's still optimistic mainly because of young people all over the world now demanding change I want them to, in the words of Spinal Tap, I want them to turn it up to an 11. Feed to the fire

1:02:21 And the more they can march, the more noise they... This guy is so square he says it wrong. It goes to 11. I want him to turn it up to THE ELEVEN! In words of Spinal Tap, I want them to turn it up to an eleven. An eleven? Absolutely and the more they can march, the more noise they can make The more demands they insist upon He's calling for riots. Faster progress will make. I'm a firm believer in that And he still believes the climate crisis we created is one we can also solve. The direction of travel is clear and I do believe that we will get there. I DO BELIEVE? Yeah, he always says that. Does he believe or does he do believe? No, he DO believes! So I looked this outfit up...

1:03:08 And now I see this is Al Gore is he's playing a long game and I got to appreciate it. So gonna be dead by the time his long game is over but what does this long game always been with Maurice strong whose is dead Murray Strong all is already not going to see the the long game It was the carbon credit exchange Al Gore is mr. Carbon Credit He wants a price on carbon so we can't wait the tax the hell out him is a skimmer yeah, but this is interesting because If you look at this website, they have... it's the equivalent of the PewPew map for the cyber outfit where they show all the attacks taking place. Oh there is Russia! There is one from Ukraine! Pew pew pew! So he has this?

1:03:53 A satellite image you can twirl the globe and it's showing the exact amounts of carbon. You can zoom in, you can see where there is too much carbon. He is going to be counting whether he can do it or not is a whole other question He's trying to become the authority. Oh, I see right there! I see those three acres down in Texas...there in Central Texas that looks like curry it looks like there is too much carbon emitting from those three acres let's tax him! Telling you this guy and he always rolls out to Silicon Valley or to the money people first before that movie even came out he was showing at the Kleiner Perkins because I was there when he did it

Bjorn Lomborg, Global Battery Storage Limitations

Environmental writer Bjorn Lomborg calculated that current global battery storage could only power the world for approximately one minute and 15 seconds if all other energy sources failed. The discussion highlights the technical challenges of moving from continuous energy processes, like coal, to "batch" processes like battery storage.

1:04:39 And he got everyone all to invest and Kleiner Perkins had their green tech fund. Lord knows what happened to that! Which was one of the few funds... that they lost money on. I know, I know! They lost their ass on it and the Kleiner Perkins has never been the same. I know It's not even because people talk about the VCs now they're talking about Sequoia... They talk about all kinds of different operations even Andreessen which is like not even you know smart company but Kind of burgers is out of the conversation. Yeah, oh yeah now they because they can't do it They don't know how to make it work. Yeah some This guy some Bjorn Lomborg who was some dude on Twitter Did the calculation? So take it for what its worth and he says okay If we if we really need to use battery power The world uses here's what he comes up with 51 gigawatt hour per minute

1:05:39 and has 64 gigawatt hour of total battery storage. So enough for about 1 minute and 15 seconds of energy if everything goes to shit, that's how long we can keep the lights on if we kept everything on." And he said by 20... I believe that's probably true. Me too! He says by 2030 it'll be much better 10 minutes at 24 seconds The thing about batteries is kind of not... Batteries are like a batch process You fill the battery up, you drain it and you fill it. It's a batch process in so far as like what you just described if you had to run the world you need a continuous process where you have a coal-fired plant that is just making energy constantly because of coals coming in being burned energy comes out through a generator

1:06:29 Batch processes are always frowned upon in technology. You don't want to do things in batch, you want to use the continuous process that's why that food processing stuff is so fascinating for everybody including you where the cookie factory doesn't make a batch of cookies they're making the cookies on an assembly line and they're pouring out the back these cookies batch process stuff which is small batch artisan all that stuff it's a low-profit item this is really not the way to go about things. Oh, that's a good point and so the battery thing is all batch process So you mean the creation? The charging? The discharging? Everything! It's a batch process operation Right like the Tesla battery itself is just a batch of AA batteries isn't it

CHAPTER 21 / 42 Discussion

Mechanical Batteries, Compressed Air Energy Storage

Alternative energy storage methods, such as water-pumping "mechanical batteries" and the "trompe" compressed air system, are explored as potential solutions for power grid stability. One project involves a windmill designed to collect and store compressed air in tanks to drive electrical generators during low-wind periods.

mechanical batteries· trompe· compressed air· wind energy· energy storage

1:07:18 Yeah, it is. The cells? Well that's for some legal reason they don't have to be that way I thought that should say buy them from Toshiba or something like that and then pretend like they're doing something special in the gigafactory What are you doing? I'm loading up batteries all day! You know what, I've actually been looking at mechanical batteries just out of interest to see what kind of... You mean an internal combustion engine? No, uh, like a water tower where you use some mechanism to slowly... Oh, like to get the water up there and then it gets... Yeah. And then store it because you're basically storing energy that you could have collected over a month's time to fill it up and then when you need it, you have all that water and then it drives a turbine and you could go for awhile I think. There is actually a power plant in Washington. I believe its off of Hood Canal Road. I've driven past this place like 100 times

1:08:11 And at first I looked at it, what the hell is this? It's a small power plant and they have these giant pipes that go up into the mountain. Ah! That's the trompe. T-R-O-M-P-E There's...I've looked into this Go ahead tell me what you see there to make sure I'm talking sense Yeah well you got your little power plant You can see in there like glass, really pretty and then there are big pipes that go way up somewhere up inside of the hill And I was told that that's when you know, in some situations they accumulate or they pump water up there when they get too much power and they don't get it. They use to turn these pumps on a move water up there and then when they need it, they just run it through the turbines on their way back

1:08:56 I'm still kind of baffling to me, but it's very attractive. There is this other power plant which is something different at the Montreal River in Candanavia and the system is called a TROMPE it creates compressed air and it does that by, you know having if you have a water source that is as high as possible really. Yeah I've heard about this compressed air. It's really interesting to see how it works yeah and compressed air... I mean compressed air used isn't still used in mines for uh to generate electricity so it's a non-flammable gas? No no

1:09:37 Yeah, power tools work on compressed air. Yeah a lot of power tools do this one of those spray paint operations there's there's uh one of the dudes from Revenge Of The Nerds sent me an email I know this who was in the movie Revenge Of The Nerds yeah or his partner i can't remember what it was they've come up with a windmill that collects compressed air and they've been trying to get investors for it finally seven years but it actually seems to work. What is the point? Well so, they say they can generate one megawatt hour

1:10:15 And all you need is, I think like 13 miles an hour of wind and not even continuously they've got these turbines that suck in the air. And then they have this mechanism that compresses it puts into a tank and then you can unleash the tank and then you drive your electrical generator start things up." He says we can do small neighborhoods I have to look the company up. There's a lot of interesting stuff out there, none of it is an exit strategy yet. No, we don't think so! I'm working on it. It's full of hot air. Yeah and with that I'd like to thank you for your courage saying good morning to you and the man who put the sea in the climate change Mr John C Dvorak everybody

CHAPTER 22 / 42 Discussion

No Agenda Stream, Social Media and Trolls

The No Agenda Stream reached a near-record number of live listeners, despite a dip in financial donations. The hosts discussed the benefits of No Agenda Social, a decentralized Mastodon-based server, and the interactive "Troll Room" where listeners congregate during live broadcasts.

no agenda social· mastodon· trollroom.io· web 3· decentralized social

1:11:05 Well in the morning to you Mr. Adam Curry, in the morning all ships and sea boots on the ground feet in the air subs in the water with names of nice out there. Yeah oh and in the morning to The Trollz who are here one hour and 11 minutes into the show and they are active as always let's see how many we have here this is a uh Sunday show I didn't get the count here what does the count? Oh 2648 hey that's pretty high isn't that close to uh to the record do you have the posted note do you not It's the new record! Oh no. Yeah, the old record is 2642. Fantastic because donations are a record low this is very interesting yeah that's very interesting all right trolls well good maybe this is an indicator for things to come I'm good to have you all here. Not in donations. Well though for maybe for the next show people like oh yeah there was such a good show we had such a good time we're gonna support it

1:12:02 The trolls can be joined for free at any time you want. Go to trollroom.io It's just a basic chat room and if you register, you can keep your nickname and all that groovy stuff And the cool part about it is you can go to noagendastream.com or even trollroom.io and listen to the No Agenda Stream live which is on Thursdays and Sundays but it's 24-7 so there are a lot of live shows taking place that you can troll in real time. Almost everybody interacts with the troll room one way or the other, and it's just a fun place to be! I want to thank Erinner for doing something genius. We keep talking about noagendasocial.com

1:12:45 And how that's really, you know... That is the real Web 3 right there. Decentralized social network works across any type of Mastodon or Fediverse compatible server and it's so nice to see mastodons.social I guess we've been unblocked or something because there are lots of people contributing to threads. I see it on our servers. You know maybe complaining about it helps Well, something happened. It just seems like or maybe that we're not in their federated timeline but people can still follow I don't know but it's working and this NLD platform is just simple there's no algo you get into a heated debate it scrolls off to something else you go on with your life everybody's happy doesn't come back to haunt you continuously

1:13:32 And what Aaron did is, because I always say follow at John C. Dvorak at noagendasocial.com or follow Adam at noagendasocial.com and of course it turns out after he put the alias in that a lot of people were emailing us these email addresses which is very confusing! I don't know how to solve that because when you say like follow us there people are like oh that's how I email which is interesting because adammccurry.com is so much easier to spell So, have you received email through this yet? No. Well they only do it to me then but anyway I'm happy because some donation notes even came through that way That is not the preferred method but it works Let's thank the artists who brought us the artwork for the previous episode We like to do this and we'd like to discuss The many entries that come in

CHAPTER 23 / 42 Discussion

Episode 1418 Artwork, Boris Johnson and Rule Followers

The hosts reviewed artwork submissions for episode 1418, selecting a piece by Tantanayo featuring Boris Johnson. They also discussed a meta-gag submission by Roger Roundy that intentionally violated show "rules" regarding host images and spiky virus graphics to highlight new features in Podcasting 2.0 apps.

tantanayo· boris johnson· podcasting 2.0· roger roundy· digital art

1:14:31 because this top-notch talent that is working on this stuff like everybody else who produces the best podcast in the universe. Homeless Apocalypse was episode 14, 18 and the artwork was expertly created by Tantanayo And this was the Boris Johnson, no more mandates party. He's got his pints of beer and just one of the best expressions which I don't know if she what kind of base she had to work with but man that's... She obviously saw that image someplace in like any other artist thing you know I bet you could find a use for this

1:15:08 And so she saved it. Yeah, and there it is I mean I've never seen that image before but its a dime and it doesn't look like its been shopped No So its uh It's just a funny image what can they say? We liked it! There were couple other candidates... No we liked alot of stuff but this was a fall back It took a little voting back and forth. We had a bunch of stuff I like the you like the mouse holding the spear that's right next to it from Parker Pauly holding the swab. I like the voter fraud with the clown on the side, drop box... Yeah but that was Darren O'Neal and as you know i hate him so.. You do! Yep that's why not gonna choose that. So you do mix it up because that wasn't going to happen even though you fought and fought and fought. Screw that guy no I hate him too much I can't let that happen. And then we had a test your hamster with their swab in a little cartoon hamster and you said he looks like a cat

1:16:11 It looks too much like a cat. It does look like a cat! You made a fuss about that? Well you were just bitching and moaning, I liked that one, I liked that one it looks like a cat but i liked it! But it looks like a cat It says hamster. I like bumbling Joe, the can of tuna fish? Yes we both liked that but we had to keep to the rule this Nessworks that it was just too small and there's lots of funny stuff in there Yeah you couldn't read it If you blow it up and see what do they have here no joke new corn pop flavor omega 33 all good stuff just too small

1:16:50 Yeah, you couldn't see the gags. No. I like that round thing Kenny Ben did with the hamster something...I don't know what that is but.. I just like her badges she does a bunch of them. She does good badge. She gives good badge. And then... I think that was it? There was one other one i think....i can't think of what it was but there's one other we had a little debate about No, I don't think so. Maybe not no that was pretty much it yeah we but we were struggling and then then we decided on the On the bond of one with Boris and it was just a wonder who's the winner? Yeah. Yep. Yeah. Yeah, I feel bad But you know now that Darren knows I hate him there's just no way no way that can win too bad He's gonna win again he does the always

1:17:52 If you can't, if there wasn't Boris then boom next guy down. Thank you to all the artists and of course Tonta Neal for nailing it! with the artwork. This is a very important part of the value for value model that NOAA Agenda pioneered and used to this day, there's no way you can have any type of process that is affordable even doable to have a piece of art just slap onto the mp3 right after the show was recorded are you kidding me? Let me make another at least an observation Roger Roundy did something

1:18:29 with his rule follower at the beginning. I don't know if he should know this, but maybe he doesn't that we don't use images of ourselves under any circumstances because it was overused for the first two or three years of the show. But if you look at that piece, I think that's the joke Because it says, NA show art rule follower. No hosts no spiky viruses no frogs and the images are heads, spikey virus... It was just one of those meta gags that he's renowned for I actually use that for the pre-show art on the previous On that episode 1418 because it's like one of those one and dones yeah Of course! I knew we were never gonna choose it but you know He did a pretty good job look how the spike goes through the ribbon

1:19:21 Look how the ribbon is wrapped around the frog's neck. No, he's not a slouch no and look How look how we applied some kind of filter that makes us look like very old turtles? Well that that party didn't know yeah if you blow it up There's some weird filter effect on it And yet just looks like we're just our faces are just we have creased skin everywhere I'm not seeing this no their heads even though there's a frog down below. Yeah, but you don't see the lines? The swirly lines it's stylized you don't see that no I gotta blow it up well the people who are using a podcasting 2.0 app right now can probably stop or just like you have to stop just look at your app right now and you'll see this image because that's one of the many new features but more importantly with podcasting under increasing attack

1:20:16 We have made it so that there are at least 15 apps, some of them pretty big including Overcast where you just can't get deplatformed. It's just not going to happen so try a modern podcast app and support the protection and enhancement of podcasting at newpodcastapps.com Now I'd like to thank our executive producers and associate executive producers we kick it off with Jason Pain Girl...Pain girl? From Elk, Washington with $600.85. Interesting number in the morning. Gents please accept my lopsided donation on behalf of my smoking hot wife Carly Please deducer! Okay hold on a second didn't even have the deducer ready

1:21:02 I want to make sure it's not too cold. He's in Washington, Washington State John. Yeah Inslee! Oh my you guys have kept us sane during this whole pandemic and two weeks ahead of what was happening so at least we knew what was coming thanks for everything from Hillc...from the hill country of Washington state and he wants some jingles here he wants his get vaccinated course everybody loves that he wants to stay safe and he wants a no and of course will do the massive health karma

1:21:48 Good to see you. Please stay safe. No, you've got karma Sir Adam of Hooverville came in from Austin Texas at four four four dot four four and he Asked where is Kaylee now? I miss her Yeah, she shows up on... She's on Fox once in a while. On Fox yeah I've seen her there or we can always remember her fondly from this. You were kind of smitten with Kaylee you liked her! I think she was a winner. Yeah. She was uh sassy yes

1:22:42 James Murray, Huntington Beach California. Our final executive producer with the perfect amount of 333 dot 33 no note though I don't have anything from James Murray do you have anything? No I just don't know if they came in at my site either Then I will and James if you have something can always send it post show or let us know what happened John Muchnick much much ink much ink In Austin Texas 245 first associate executive producer in the morning dudes Please credit this to Amy Mullen, my smoking hot wife who took animated no agenda. Who it took animated no agenda to finally bring to the dark side you mean the light side? We are a Ronimo couple needing house buying karma to flee Austin and get back into the great state of Texas soon love is lit thanks how hard can it be? Austin's got the big...Austin has got the real estate prices through the roof its easy to get out

1:23:42 Well he says house to be fair, he says house buying karma which uh buying something affordable anywhere in the within a gosh maybe in the 500 mile radius of Austin is going to be difficult but yeah. Of course we're gonna give that to you! You've got karma man I've done the switcheroo before the credit good Abhlahas Kumar, ah in Bombay. This came in as a had to be adjusted it came in as a wire transfer I was gonna say because PayPal I don't think does India do they? No he did it as a wire transfer but to the bank account which means I had to you know dig it up greetings from Bombay I reached I realized that have been making small medium donations since 2011 are very close to achieving knighthood who'da thunk it

1:24:35 So he's been getting money in. Mostly through, I have to say, wire transfers which cost 10 bucks is not the best way to do it but it does work. Anyways, he continues, I wanted to confirm my accounting with you since you sent some accounting and it looks okay to me taking into account... Anyway, he's got about a hundred bucks to go in his... Okay. Well he won't know- He did a double credit back in the day when we did the twofer? Yeah. And I wanted to know if that was okay and figured yeah sure why not. Of course! Hey, he's taken the time an effort to support us for... To beat him in the ass! Yes! That was very cool. Thank you Abhilash. And send us a pronunciation guide please Tim Lang San Francisco 212

1:25:25 ITM update from Denmark. Oh, okay So I guess he's from San Francisco temporarily in Denmark after the casual culling of millions of mink The head of the Danish CIA has now been imprisoned on undisclosed charges Yeah, I've been following that oh what is it? We don't know! I think espionage Might have been an agent. He's working for the Chinese? What is he doing? I don't know, that...I'd have no information. I know that he was...that had been detained in prison and it's undisclosed charges so we don't know what it is The Stalinization of Denmark continues also quick plug Suav Vampires on open sea Godspeed JNA sounds like he's promoting a NFT here

1:26:10 Suave vampires. Or either that or it's code? No, it's an NFT OpenSea is an NFT marketplace Oh thats right Yeah Gregory D Bernardo in Canton Georgia 20252 he writes uh... Lest I be part of a problem Of the 7% decrease In the amount of donations And the best podcast in the universe Please accept this my second donation as a token of my appreciation. I'm gonna bring somebody out of the woodwork good My appreciation for the good work you guys do, you boys do! I actually do read the newsletter see? Yeah about one third of the way to being in night...I think

1:26:52 If the amount of donations you get is related to the amount of COVID cases we are seeing, it really shouldn't be a big deal to just lie about the cases like everyone else does. Yeah, we shouldn't make... John! What a mistake were making? We're making people feel good That's why I make it up he says either that or we're going to have to make sure Fauci. I won't give him the respect of using the doctor in his title, and i don't think you should either never goes away for the sake of the show Give me every Sharpton babble you have on the soundboard and I will be thrilled. By the way, I've got a new Sharpton Oh It's just as little one but I think it could be incorporated into the bigger of the bigger sharp than events Oh, yeah, let's hit the bigger sharped in events Okay, the Arizona Democratic partly party partly What does he say

1:27:47 Fartily. The Arizona Democratic Partly Party. No, I think he says partily. I'm not sure if he says fartily but now you've programmed it so now that's how we will hear it. The Arizona Democratic Party Tonight is the measure of whether the country begins in the state of Wisconsin a national drive to push back or whether we have more to go to build a movement of resistance. But resist, we much! We must and will much about that be committed. Partly...

1:28:32 Thank you Gregory and let's see we've got well I just finished him out here that's a very short segment today Falls Church Virginia Jonathan Crowe. I appreciate you guys and didn't want to be the only douchebag at the Defeat The Mandates March meetup okay well good any supports us thank you keep up the good work! And we have Chuck Bennett from Caldwell Idaho also $200 and it just says donation from Chuck Bennett, and we appreciate that These executive producers and associate executive producers receive the title, the credit. It can be used anywhere credits are accepted and recognized if anyone has any issue or any issue whatsoever let us know because we'll vouch for them if you just go to

NPR Attack on Joe Rogan, Spotify Open Letter

NPR reported on an open letter signed by over 1,300 "health professionals" calling on Spotify to address COVID-19 misinformation on The Joe Rogan Experience. An analysis of the signatories reveals that only a small fraction are medical doctors, with the list including podcasters, PhD candidates, and a high number of nurses.

1:29:18 Search around for No Agenda Producer credits. You'll see it on LinkedIn, you can search people on LinkedIn by credits another fun way to find each other or look at IMDB be amazed who proudly displays their No Agenda Executive or Associate Executive Producer status if you want to become one of those go to devorak.org slash n a thank you again for bringing it with your time your talent and treasure from 1419 our formula is this We go out we hit people in the mouth So I was listening to NPR It's they become pretty funny haven't they yeah, I think I'm amused and they have their way that there speaking patter has kind of changed a little bit because there's a lot more pauses and a lot of

1:30:24 A lot of those. So they attacked Joe Rogan and I figured I could play these clips. Yeah, this is...I think we've probably heard the same thing but you got clips okay? And there's commentary that's necessary and we'll go with these. This is a Rogan attack but it really wasn't an attack on Rogan It was an attack on a symbol of podcasting. Yes! I know! We're under attack And they're worried about podcasting because they don't, and I don't know who's calling the shots on this. But somebody is irked about the podcast thing and then they... What was that lady from, um, I think The Rockefeller Foundation? Who has done all of these studies? They got their own podcasts! What are they talking about?! Yeah but that's- They do podcasting. Yes good podcasts and bad podcasts No there's podcasts you can control Oh. And podcasts, by the way Joe Rogan isn't in the same category as we are so far as independents Nope

1:31:25 He could be, but he's not for good reason I would say. Well he isn't... A hundred million good reasons! Well I would say the only just as a caveat and if it's in this report or not Joe can make whatever he wants Spotify because they only license if they don't make it they don't produce that they don't own it so I understand if they don't take it he can I think he has the option to put somewhere else yeah moving it but The point is that you can tell what they're really concerned about is control. Of course! Podcasting is not controlled and they have messaging that goes on, nobody can do anything about it... And the last clip, a little short one at the end was really kind of in their craw but let's start with the first clip NPR 1

1:32:12 Over a thousand doctors, scientists and health professionals are calling out Spotify over false claims about COVID aired by its most popular podcaster Joe Rogan. As NPR tech correspondent Shannon Bond reports while platforms such as Facebook and Twitter face intense scrutiny for their role in spreading harmful health hoaxes podcasts can be even more influential sources of information It wasn't the first time Joe Rogan or his guests have floated dubious or outright false information about the pandemic. But for Dr. Katrine Wallace, Rogan's last podcast episode of 2021 was the last straw. This particular episode of The Joe Rogan Podcast was sent to me hundreds of times the day that it went live by my followers because their friends and family were sending it to them as evidence that the vaccines are dangerous and they shouldn't get

1:33:03 Wallace is an epidemiologist at the University of Illinois Chicago and part of a community of experts who debunk medical misinformation on social media. In the episode in question, Rogan interviewed Dr Robert Malone, a scientist who worked on early research into the technology behind the top COVID vaccines in the US but who's now a vaccine skeptic Malone made a lot of baseless and disproven claims, like saying that getting vaccinated puts people who have already had COVID at higher risk. It all alarmed Wallace. Okay so let's start with this the very beginning of this clip had this little comment which really made me do a little work play Rogan calling sub-clip and then I will go from there over 1 000 doctors scientists and health professionals are calling out Spotify

1:33:57 Alright, let's take a look at this. This is again... I bitch about this all the time which is the mailing list that somebody has. I'm signing a petition and we're going to send it around and you can sign if you want or not yeah yeah I hate Rogan boom they signed it And it turns out there were the number of signatures on this thing was actually 1324 The number who have signed now? You mean the total number Yeah, that's the total number of signatures. So you guys said about it and we're talking about the WordPress blog letter right? Yeah toasting on our WordPress blog yeah well yeah well you know it's free so I did a deep dive on this thing and so these health professionals at 1324 how many of them do you think I'm gonna give you a quiz how many of them do you think are MDs doctors

1:34:50 Out of 1324. I don't know the exact number, but i've heard that there were a whole bunch of people on this that were maybe not so qualified including podcasters... Oh wait a minute you're talking about uh the Ali Ward? The host science correspondent for the Allogies podcast or Bridget Scallion the head of the Unbiased Science Podcast? Was she a doctor? There's four podcasts! Is she a scientist? She's a podcaster. That's right, once you become a podcaster you lose all other credentials that is that is a rule I do agree there's four podcasters on there yeah how many doctors actual doctor five five five five five I'm gonna guess 540 okay let's be real but 10%

1:35:40 Yeah, and then how but you think there were more doctors or PhDs just PhD's random P rando PhDs who could not work I bet there were 500 PhDs no 151. Oh that's disappointing but still more than doctors. But were they medical PhDs or like Dr Biden? No just PhD, half of them were you know just brandos. Here's what there was people like this Steve Rathje he's a PhD candidate the way I did the search he would show up as one of the PhDs Forrest of Valki, a master's student at the University of Tulsa. I saw that name! Oh Master Student? What is he doing on this thing?! Well hey man, he did the formatting and he did the programming for the Wordpress blog so he gets credit okay? 768 nurses and 53 Masters of Public Health

1:36:33 Everybody else is just a... Rat poop inspectors. Yeah, so there's that So this letter is to me very questionable at something you'd use to jump off on a piece on National Public Radio just as slam some guy I did pull a couple bios and Jen Wenzel who's at the University of San Diego who signed the thing and she's her area of interest The University of San Diego is a Catholic school and she's got nothing to do with anything that I can see that would make you want to be on this list. I guess anyone could be on it because i could have signed it

1:37:17 You know, I'm a science correspondent for No Agenda Show. Well here if i may this would be an interesting assignment when one of these comes up and can you still get added to the list it seems like people are joining the list can you just... Some bits that depends on some of these lists are open and they keep growing well this one seems to be growing it started with 250 then it was 1000 now it's up to 1300 plus 13 yeah Well anyway, so that just galls me that these things... you know this mailing list is very few people in reality. If it was a hundred thousand people bitching I would take it a little more seriously Oh you mean like change dot org? That would change things! No but at least I think it's a jumping off point for a piece of a hit piece on Joe Rogan and podcasting

CHAPTER 26 / 42 Discussion

Podcast Content Moderation, Spotify CEO Daniel Ek

Spotify CEO Daniel Ek defended the platform's hands-off approach to Joe Rogan, comparing the podcaster to the many rappers hosted on the service. Misinformation researchers argue that audio content is harder to moderate than text, creating a "unique relationship" of authority between the podcaster and the listener.

daniel ek· spotify· content moderation· evelyn dueck· audio misinformation

1:38:06 Would be a little more appropriate than just this rando list that we're dealing with. It's bullshit and what is obvious is NPR didn't check that Even if they did, they're just looking for an excuse to do the hip piece. Yeah exactly So let's go to part two It provides a sense of false balance like there are two sides to scientific evidence when really there is not The overwhelming evidence is that vaccines are safe and effective I don't even know how that can get on the air for someone to say that. That is newspeak, that is 1984 come to life! It provides a sense of false balance like there's two sides to scientific evidence

1:38:54 when really there's not. The overwhelming evidence is that the vaccines are safe and that they're effective. That just needs to be an evergreen, we just from time to time need to pull that clip out and remind people that is consensus! That is what science is it's not two sides its whatever the scientists agree on. It can be 98% vote. And it's a filibuster, 60% is close enough. She's particularly worried because Rogan has such a big audience! A stand-up comedian and TV personality, Rogan has an exclusive licensing deal with Spotify reportedly worth $100 million dollars.

1:39:36 So Wallace joined a group of fellow health professionals in an open letter slamming the company for allowing a big star to broadcast misinformation. We are in a global health emergency and streaming platforms like Spotify that provide content to the public have a responsibility not to add to the problem that we have right now. They're not asking Spotify to kick off Rogan, but they want the company to be more transparent about its rules and make it easier to flag these kinds of baseless claims about COVID. Baseless? Spotify declined to comment for this story, but has previously said it bans content about covid that it deems dangerous or false. It's taken down 20000 podcast episodes for breaking that policy. But Rogan's Malone interview is still available. Spotify CEO Daniel Ek told Dan Primack of Axios last year that the company does not take responsibility for what Rogan or his guests say.

1:40:33 Joe Rogan is just one out of eight million creators that we have on the platform. But the best paid, but the best paid of all of those? Sure! We have a lot of really well-paid rappers on Spotify too that make tens of millions of dollars if not more each year from Spotify and we don't dictate what they're putting in their songs either. Rogan did not respond to NPR's request for comment Misinformation researchers say it was only a matter of time until the spotlight turned to podcasts. Wherever you have users generating content, you're going to have all of the same content moderation issues and controversies that you have in any other space

1:41:09 Evelyn Dueck is a research fellow at Columbia's Knight First Amendment Institute. She says it's much harder to ferret out things like falsehoods and hate speech in podcasts compared to posts on Facebook and Twitter, but audio can be a powerful way to spread misinformation, says Valerie Wertschafter at the Brookings Institution. The podcaster in your ear you're probably alone listening to this podcast It's a really unique relationship in that respect. The podcaster gains level of authority and a level of credibility among listeners. Boom! So, uh... Hold on a second I want to talk to people. I want to communicate something to them because i hear that when you're in their rear it's In their ear not in their rear

1:42:05 Remember Mevio had the slogan, Pod Show? Stick it in your ear. Yeah yeah Wow that's well yes that's absolutely true! It's interesting though the NPR voice is somehow don't have that special relationship with my ear Gosh, golly. We finally get one of three markers here in this two minute bit here. Okay so let's go and now they're going on moaning and groaning about podcasts because it is a threat because people are sick of their crap

The Big Lie, Podcasting and Seditious Conspiracy

NPR's reporting linked podcasting to the spread of "The Big Lie" regarding the 2020 election and the January 6th Capitol riot. Critics suggest this narrative is an attempt to frame independent podcasters as liable for seditious conspiracy, using the controversy surrounding Dr. Robert Malone as a catalyst for broader censorship.

january 6· big lie· npr· robert malone· censorship

1:42:44 It's just propaganda that they can't seem to control. It's because somebody is telling them what to say and what to do, so here... There was still the thing there's still something that's obviously eating at them and it's revealed in the last clip. Wirtchafter has been studying how the big lie that the 2020 election was stolen spread on political podcasts before the January 6th assault on the US Capitol. We're not talking about fringe ideas These are the most popular podcasts in the United States. She says as more people become aware of how misinformation spreads online, podcasts deserve the same scrutiny as social media. Shannon Bond NPR News. Huh! They switch gears right at the end I mean and it's just abrupt... The big lie Oh man that is really interesting okay so let's think about this for a second

1:43:43 First of all, I'm gonna give you a clip of the day for cutting that shit up into three bits and putting in the right order. Because I... Chronological Yeah well Was it chronological? No It was But it's not the whole report The whole report was longer than that I cut some stuff out little pieces here and there And he did good job That was very good Yes then a lot of it was boring Well first of all The stuff I left in was boring First of all, I saw this coming a year and half ago. And that's why Podcasting 2.0 exists so good luck! You know they still will be able to de-platform people off of Apple and off of Spotify okay fine whatever

1:44:21 But now that you bring the... Well, did you listen? In that report they said they took down 20 thousand episodes. I find that hard to believe. Very sketch about that! If you say okay... Sketch is sketch It's like it's the opposite of simp. Come on make it with it. This what kids are talking about. Oh wow groovy baby woohoo! It's sketch. You probably would have been hearing oh wow on TV. I'm gonna get more clicks. No, I have another eyesight. It's everywhere. Oh Wow was back en vogue No, this is um... What the hell was I talking about? You were talking about podcasting 2.0 and how you saved the day. Oh right yeah well of course i just want to point that out but

1:45:02 Yeah, when they remove the X-22 report which is very innocuous. I mean the first four minutes of that damn show is ads that start like this Let's talk about your health and let's talk about it and also what the financial news Well The Patriots and the private sector... I don't know anything about what you're talking about? I'm talking about the type of stuff Spotify took down podcasts they took me down I don't know any of this. No, because it's been taken down and you can't get it on your Spotify so how would you know about it? Why not use Spotify for the start? Let's just go back two years ago right after I went on Rogan for the first time. And Rogan was leaving, and then Apple, Spotify and a couple other podcasts... Those two Amazon, I think they decided oh no we're taking Alex Jones off in a number of other QAnon podcasts do you remember this? Yeah Right! And that was one of them was the X20-X22 report which is the podcast i just mimicked

1:46:04 That was the moment when I said, oh no you don't. We're going to have our own independent index so that and just from my conspiratorial thinking at a meta level once There was an alternative and it's an open alternative, and it really can't be taken away because the database is open. Anyone can resurrect the databases thousands of copies everywhere. Yes like DNS almost. Right Apple then pivoted and went okay we'll do subscriptions We don't give a shit And they actually broke a whole bunch of stuff and they've kind of left their reservation so Spotify Is still left

1:46:42 But Apple has control and I'm sure they will pull down whatever they want. So, I think Spotify yeah they took down X22 report that had a thousand episodes so if you're going to count it that way then i think thats how 20,000 episodes is the number you see? you tying it into and them tying it into the big lie now we understand because I'm thinking this is not an intelligence operation. This is not, because you know podcasting is a problem Now the cat is out of the bag The problem is those pesky ass podcasters have free reign to talk about whatever they want particularly as it pertains to January 6th And mind you charges are now being filed against

1:47:29 people for seditious conspiracy or yes, I think it's a seditious conspiracy. So you conspired to maybe do some seditious stuff And if you listen to what the M5M is saying, hey we're going even if you weren't there. If you had anything to do with this insurrection and were coming for ya so why wouldn't it? Why wouldn't you set up from a political standpoint with your hacks in the media NPR, why wouldn't you setup a little thing so that we can

1:48:05 make podcasters maybe liable somehow and here's how it worked. You get the, sorry to say it although he spoke some truth you get the weak brother Dr. Malone who was completely compromised you get him to say something kind of off-the-wall it wasn't so much about any other vaccine well I guess that was a main point but it was the oh Hitler is coming that's what the letter states, you know the open letter. You get 270 hacks to sign this thing so that then your other hack friends can come in and do a report about it and then you can bring in the Rockefeller people and whoever else is doing studies and then somehow that'll tie into The Big Lie and then we can go after those people as well

CHAPTER 28 / 42 Discussion

2000 Election Supercut, Stolen Election Rhetoric

A supercut of news clips from the 2000 presidential election highlights prominent Democrats, including Al Gore and Hillary Clinton, questioning the legitimacy of George W. Bush's victory. The archival audio shows long-standing political rhetoric regarding "stolen" elections and "rigged" voting machines.

al gore· 2000 election· george w. bush· supreme court· election integrity

1:48:54 That seems like something the Democrats have come up with. This is great that where you've developed this just on the fly Well, the reason why is because I have this supercut which is floating out there Which is The Big Lie from 2000 and our buddy Al Gore who we heard from earlier lost that election in a...and we don't have to go into the details but most people in the world remember hanging Chad's and George W Bush became president This is a supercut, it's a two minute supercut but holy crap when you hear it and compare to what is being said right now about Trump and the big lie. The big lie is that the elections were rigged and Trump really won the election.

1:49:39 Let's go back 22 years in history. We won that election and won the election Al Gore was elected president United States, right? This wasn't counted You know it I know it they know we won that election There is overwhelming evidence that George W Bush did not win this election Do you think Republicans stole that election on 2000? Huh? I wish the United States Supreme Court had let them finish counting the votes Supreme Court denied the actual and accurate counting of the votes in Florida. If Catherine Harris, Jeb Bush Jim Baker and the Supreme Court hadn't tampered with their results Al Gore would be president! An election has been stolen robbed it wasn't a fair process it wasn't

1:50:28 neutral process, it was a process that was rigged against us. We actually won the last presidential election folks! They stole the last presidential election! As we look at our election system I think it's fair to say that there are many legitimate questions about its accuracy, about its integrity. How are you going to keep it from us being able to be in the position where we can manipulate the machines and manipulate the records? In Virginia when I was governor I had to replace all of the machines Too many voters have cast votes on machines that jam or malfunction, or suck the votes without a trace. I kept voting in the Senate race, kept voting for the Democrat Republican name kept coming up three times that happened How many other votes did the computers get wrong? I brought in some technology experts they were able to hack into our machines from off-site and about five or six minutes and within four minutes they were able to change a vote The legitimacy of any president

1:51:24 that's elected is going to be impaired unless the American people understand that there has been a full and fair count of all the votes. We will continue to object to the election procedures until they are corrected. The objection is in writing, and I don't care if it isn't signed by a member of the Senate! It is our duty to challenge this vote. It's just Republicans who have monkeyed around with elections in the past. Sometimes Democrats have to I would be standing here saying this no matter what the outcome of the election So that's how i came up with it

CHAPTER 29 / 42 Discussion

Sean Hannity CIA Pin, Smith-Mundt Act Repeal

Fox News host Sean Hannity was criticized for wearing a CIA lapel pin, sparking a discussion on the relationship between the intelligence community and the media. The hosts called for the reinstatement of the Smith-Mundt Act, which previously prohibited the U.S. government from using propaganda on its own citizens until its 2013 repeal.

sean hannity· cia· smith-mundt act· propaganda· barack obama

1:52:04 Nice supercut. Isn't that cool? It hits the spot. That's what they need... Well, I think that's interesting to me is the Malone going on and then we've decided that he's compromised because it brought up a point which is bugging me which is the picture I ran in the newsletter of Sean Hannity with his little CIA pissy. Yeah It's like, okay well that's cute. You know we can all buy a CIA pin from the CIA shop which they do have and they have CIA salt shakers and challenge coins and t-shirts and sweatshirts and hats. Yep! And you could do a tour. Then you get tour

1:52:50 and they get the little pin. But to be wearing a pin as a personality, of a pundit, reporter... A newsman? Sick! To me wearing a CIA pin is like it's either saying that he is doing their job for them or something and it brings me to the point where I answer and it's annoying and who does he think he is right oh yeah my big buddies with the CIA It brings me to the Smith-Muntt Act, which has been brought up on the show before. This thing has to be put... I don't care if they've been doing it even though surreptitiously before this has to be put back in place because it's obvious that they're screwing with the American public and every way they can and if Malone was doing the job of the CIA by placing that information there to kind of poison them well this has to stop

1:53:44 This legislation has to go back into place. We can't propagandize our own people anymore, this has to be put back in place. The Smith-Mundt Act was originally from the early 80's I think and it forbid the American government using any propaganda on its own people. It was repealed, I want to say in 2013 as a part of the National Offense Authorization Act under President Obama's administration it was kind of snuck in there although we all saw it and the rationale was well with the internet it's impossible if you put something out on the Internet you know Americans might see it so you might as well just remove the regulation so we can just do it unhampered

1:54:29 Yeah, that probably there's a be some sort of a crackpot rationale like that. No That was the rationale that was cracked pot they argued it We have to go back and re-examine these arguments and who is for it who's against this got to be put back in place It's obvious at the American public is being beaten up by this yeah Especially with yes a good point when people don't realize you know If you go look at the number of people think that Tucker Carlson, you know Tucker Carlson's dad I think it wasn't one of the founding members of the, or one of the main guys on the broadcast board of governors. Voice of America you know kind of like literally the propaganda arm internet or kind of old-school propaganda arm of the US government yeah so you know this shit look at my family spooks are everywhere man you can't trust anything

1:55:28 The point is this has to go back into place. I don't care about the internet or anything else, they have to deal with it because it's obvious that the public is being abused by the intelligence community and I'll use the community meaning all of them every chance they get sometimes there's an experiment let's see what happens let's see how stupid our people are! I think they actually call it the Smith-Montmartinization Act Yeah, well that would be normal. If you go to bingit.io and all you just do type in Smith month You can get all the articles that we use and you can probably lead that back to what the rationale was but That's what I remember it being oh no is the Internet makes it very difficult so... But it was snuck away Hey mainstream media wasn't reporting on it Why would they?

Ukraine Crisis, Jen Psaki and Lethal Aid

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki faced questions regarding the number of Americans currently in Ukraine as tensions with Russia escalate. Meanwhile, the U.S. has begun shipping "lethal aid," including anti-tank weapons and missiles, to the region via Baltic allies like Estonia and Lithuania.

jen psaki· ukraine· russia· lethal aid· state department

1:56:28 No. Of course not, of course not and we you know the propaganda is thick the propaganda is about Russia Russia Russia Russia So, we'll just consider all this to be propaganda. This is propaganda. This is trying to conjure up last flight from Entebbe, oh Afghanistan! Oh suicide bombers scary place Ukraine uh where's that Africa? Oh no

1:57:25 Who knows what's going on? Oh, very very frightening. Let's talk to Jen Psaki who has her foot in her mouth a lot these days. Is there any effort right now to get a handle on how many Americans are in Ukraine because I remember with Afghanistan that was sort of an open question is the dynamic different this time It's an open question around the world We don't put a chip in Americans when they go to countries around the world and track their movements people can register with the states No There's literally a chip in your passport, Jem Psaki. Literally a chip in everybody's passport. So kind of.

1:58:08 who are dual citizens, who haven't lived in or have never lived in the United States. But the State Department would certainly have the number in terms of Americans who have registered with the State Department. And this clip really shows you what kind of putting an operation on... This is total intelligence methodology. Have you ever registered with the state department when you float around? Fuck no! She's an idiot. I don't know anybody who has. So this is a classic, we'll explain it again. If you want to sound official pass on an important message which is propaganda but you don't want to be held accountable as a news organization or even as a country what you do is you say according to the Uganda Times here's the situation

1:58:55 And then you just report that as truth because, hey man it's the Uganda Times. You can't argue with boots on the ground. Times New York Times you know it's going to be good reporting cause thats Uganda's hometown newspaper So they're doing it with Russia. Tonight the British government going public with this startling accusation claiming they have intelligence, the Russian government is quote looking to install a pro-Russian leader in Kiev as it considers whether to invade and occupy Ukraine so let's not have our intelligence people say it lets just call our buddies over at GCHQ Hey, can you put out a statement that... Is the UK even in the region? I mean they're technically but are they even threatening to put weapons in like we are? I don't think so. The first US shipment of lethal aid just arrived according to NBC which is what did they send? I don't think they sent any anti-aircraft

1:59:55 200,000 pounds of lethal aid. What is that? They do it by the way they sell it. By the pound?! That's crazy! You're right that's probably exactly how they do it oh man yeah despite appeals from Ukraine... Oh wait let's see what is this I want to know what's in there. There are a lot of anti-tank weapons I know that for a fact. Yeah here we go Estonia will provide Javelin anti-tank weapons while Latvia and Lithuania are sending Stinger and anti aircraft missiles. So they're just ratcheting this up. So we send them to Lithuania, Lithuania doesn't manufacture them!

2:00:42 I don't think so. We send them to Lithuania, I presume? Yeah and then Lithuania sends them forwarding. It's just a bunch of forwarding operations! Yes! Can you guys send these to those guys because we can't send... Of course. We've already sent enough stuff. We've sent an X number of tons So it- Can you send those things to them? So it does seem like a lot of what's happening and just keeping with the CIA in Russia is the CIA and is our doing And Turkey As it turns out, Turkey may be the one that's been training the troops or you know the 20 000 terrorist brigade, 20 000 man strong terrorist brigade which started some of the crap in Kazakhstan.

Turkey and Black Sea Energy, Russian Gas Reliance

President Erdogan of Turkey is positioning his country as a key player in the Black Sea, seeking to utilize offshore natural gas to reduce Europe's reliance on Russian imports. This geopolitical shift occurs as Germany faces criticism for its heavy dependence on Russian energy, which limits its options in the Ukraine crisis.

turkey· erdogan· black sea· natural gas· germany

2:01:27 And, you know Turkey definitely needs to choose a friend seeing their lira is dead. I mean the economy they've got what do they have 20 plus percent inflation? Guys in all kinds of trouble. It's crazy it's like very big issues in Turkey and it looks like Erdogan has chosen the side of the United States and this may be the reason It's all about the Black Sea. Erdogan at the 2021 NATO meeting told the Secretary General of NATO, you are not visible in the Black Sea and your invisibility in the Black Sea turns it into a Russian lake!

2:02:10 And why are they interested? Well, first of all Turkey has probably the largest coastline of any of the countries in the Black Sea and they found natural gas off its coast in the Black Sea which Turkey wants to use to send to Europe to cut off dependence on Russian gas imports. What do you know! It's about energy once again Germany just fired their naval chief for saying, hey we need Russia on our side. We gotta have gas and we can't have China? Oh no get out of here shut up! Wall Street Journal big article about Germany's reliance. I got a clip but i don't have it in here but yeah the guy got fired for just saying the obvious Was is from The Last Show maybe? No no It was...I just heard that it was on Deutsche Welle last night

2:03:07 Let's see, the Wall Street Journal. Everyone is seeing it! Germany is in trouble and they better get a really big mechanical battery... actually they do have mechanical batteries. Germany's reliance on Russian gas limits Europe's options in Ukraine crisis Berlin is vulnerable if the West sanctions Russia over Ukraine and Moscow responds by cutting off exports Well all that has to happen now what they're seemingly aiming for Let's call it, we're not gonna have any kinetic war. I'd say cyber strike would be enough. Oh! Cyber strike cut them off from the US dollar that's what they're out there threatening cutting them off from the US dollar that's the only thing i'm hearing unless you've heard other sanctions they've been discussing Well cutting him off from the U.S dollar was actually in the banking sector Why don't you tell me since you've been covering this quite closely What's the point? Well... You won't like my answer

2:04:07 Well, I might not and I might disagree with it but you think there's a point? Great reset. They are out to destroy everything! That's the whole point It's rubilizing Oh yes Remember that Let's see. It's time to rubble-ize! We have a Fletcher clip... Yeah, I'm looking for it right now. Let's see uh we have a cut with it we need to bring them back you're so right Rubble on the double! We got that one we got ladies and gentlemen it is time to rubble-ize! I am shocked shocked to find out that rubbleization going on here

2:04:51 Hey, these clips are just ready to bring them all back. This is fantastic Everything's a cycle oh my goodness that is so good What does this Kagan clan rubble? What is this brought to you by Clan Cagan Yeah I don't know if the Kagans are doing the operation on our own honor well yeah, I guess it's worldwide of course they are yeah I think they want to rubbleize it, but not just some sandy area of the world, Middle East. No! The whole thing... They're feeling their chops. They did the Middle East, they rubbleized everything? Let's try some bigger countries and see what happens. And by the way Russia is not on board with us on any of this stuff. There is pushing back

Tom Hanks Biden Ad, Land of the Brave

Actor Tom Hanks narrated a new promotional video for the Biden administration that omits the word "free" from the traditional American patriotic phrase. Instead of "land of the free and home of the brave," the narration repeatedly uses "land of the brave," which critics interpret as a subtle shift in national values.

tom hanks· joe biden· land of the free· home of the brave· propaganda

2:05:45 Russia could actually be our friend in this I think. You know, it's just...I'm sorry Rockefeller lady that i'm carrying water for Putin but come on! Come on how stupid are you? So obvious. You know what? I know a lot of Russians who live in America and there are a lot of Chinese who live in America. I like the Russians better. Just gonna say it. No the Russians are fun. The Russians they'd know how to party they got humor Chinese always croaching on your space Like because you know public space is everything's public. It's not your spaces everyone's space I'm gonna stand right next to you and even the conditioning that is happening now in see now in context it makes more sense You've seen this Tom Hanks video that's promoting the Biden administration No, oh my I might have seen about something. I obviously didn't stick well

2:06:44 You can call stop whenever you want if it's too boring. The what is there's something wrong with what Tom Hanks is doing in his narration. There's something very wrong It's throughout the whole video so you can kind of stop it whenever but just so, you know, it's very inspirational For there was always light if only were brave enough to see it If only we're brave enough To be it If only we're brave enough. Brave enough to live through two of the most difficult years many of us can remember, brave enough to pull ourselves up again and again America is the home of the brave it's why we keep getting up no matter how many times we get knocked down

2:07:33 Like with our economy, it isn't all the way back but it's getting stronger. We may be entering year three of a pandemic none of us wanted or expected but we're moving I was the first person to get the vaccine in the whole country and now how many people are vaccinated? Over 200 million right that's what keeps me going that I can feel the change Restaurants have opened their doors. Shops and businesses are buzzing again all over the country. More jobs were created in 2021 than in any year in the last 80 years We are stronger that we were a year ago today We're bringing on new drivers, we're expanding

2:08:15 The fear that was there, it's gone away. Business is booming. It's exciting times for the auto industry rebuilding our bridges our roads our transit systems and the jobs that's what this administration has been doing from our toughest times America has always built a brighter future yes we are brave brave enough to see the light be the light we need to rebuild this country strong We are courageous. We are resilient. We are America, land of the brave." I've long said it's never been a good bet to bet against America and that's more true today than ever. I've never been more optimistic about America's future there is nothing beyond our capacity if we do it together

2:09:04 What was wrong? There was an interesting little switcheroo in there. Okay, a couple things maybe then but yeah what did you notice? America's always been the land... home of the brave. Yes! Not a switcheroo! The land of the brave and there's no free anything it was just brave no freedoms So you're just denying that, but it was the land of the free and the home of the brave. No it's the home of the... Is it home of the brave? Land of the free? And he made it land of the brave! No he said home of the brave But its not the switcheroo That was land of the brave Well home or land doesn't matter they left out free Yes yes thats the point Home of the Brave Land Of The Free

2:09:56 That's the point. He kept saying, home of the brave now whenever I've met in 57 years... I've never heard home of the brave separated... Play end of it again because i'm pretty sure he said land of the brave. Okay which is a minor point that's not important but I'll tell you this if it does say that instead he's taken free what should be landed to free and moved it Yeah, we are brave. Brave enough to see the light and be the light we need to rebuild this country We're strong. They're courageous. They're resilient. We are America land of the brave Wow Okay great catch because he says home of the brave in the beginning and then says land of the brave This is

2:10:48 In 57 years I've never heard that sentence separated, I've never heard it switched around. That is evil! That is moralistically evil. That's tricky Yeah he's changed the land of the free to land of the brave and left free out And then he switches it and calls it land of the free instead of, uh, land of the brave instead of land of the free. Yeah that's what I meant. He doesn't use free anywhere in there because we don't- We want to get that out of here! Well its Land Of The Slaves! It has got nothing to do with COVID you gotta be free! You never get- well thank you just more of my point they are not done they want full control full control

Jen Psaki on The View, Retirement Rumors

Jen Psaki appeared on The View, advising frustrated Democrats to "have a margarita" before returning to the fight for federal voting legislation. During the interview, she addressed rumors regarding her potential resignation, stating she does not yet know when she will leave her post.

jen psaki· the view· joe biden· margaritas· activism

2:11:43 What a bunch of douches. Alright, before we take a break I do have a couple other things that'll be fun in this context so with you know we've got the voting thing because we've got to you know it's kind of sticking with the big lie and the election and they can't pass the bill back better what are we going to do? And Jempsaki Just like Al Gore wants to rile everybody up, go get drunk and go protest and make noise. And tell the Republicans they suck! So my advice everyone out there who's frustrated sad angry pissed off feel those emotions Go to a kickboxing class have a margarita do whatever you need to do this weekend

2:12:25 and then wake up on Monday morning, we got to keep fighting. And what that means, Lindsay is we have to keep talking to members about federal legislation that's essential. That's something that can be permanent, that can make sure people's rights are protected but we also need to- This is Psaki? Who she talking to? Oh she just being interviewed She makes the mistake of doing interviews outside it was more like personal entry She was talking to The View! She does interviews My God this is not acceptable She's not going to be around long, so savor it while she is still here. That something that can be permanent and make sure people rights are protected but we also need to make sure people are educated in states across the country about what their rights are how they can vote when they can vote how to request an absentee ballot there is a lot we need to do on that front

2:13:20 That's going to rely on the energy and the anger of that activism as well. I'm glad you picked up on it because there is a reason why she did that, because she thinks that she is actually behind-the-scenes part of the real machine! And she is, she's part of the real machine that is running behind the scenes. Or I get rid of you which I'm enjoying so much today! I really am! I'm enjoying it too! Thanks for having me But a little bird told me that you said you might be retiring and resigning from your job this year Say it isn't so Is it true? You know...I don't know when I'm leaving This an honor and privilege and I love working for President Biden every single day

2:14:02 Whoops! Wow. That, what do you think? Now did she ever... She did work for Obama I think she was the airplane secretary's airplane No no no, she was the Defense Department girl She is always getting into little beef with Matt Ummm didn't she but i thought at one point she did something for Obama Maybe it was State Department I thought she was state, yeah. She's definitely state. Yeah but that was under Obama! Right but...I think she was actually Obama's press secretary? Oh wait, she was John Kerry's press secretary for his 2004 campaign then 2005 to 2006 she was communications director for Representative Joseph Crowley and then press secretary for the Democratic Congressional Committee so thats where she got her insider chops

CNN Fact-Checking Biden, John Malone Discovery Merger

CNN aired a segment fact-checking several of President Biden's claims regarding his personal history, including his alleged arrest during the civil rights movement and his experience driving 18-wheelers. Some observers suggest this sudden shift in journalistic rigor is an attempt to appeal to John Malone, the incoming owner of CNN's parent company.

cnn· joe biden· john malone· discovery· fact-checking

2:15:01 And then she was... Yeah, she was deputy press secretary for Obama. Yeah. She's getting to beef with Matt. That was the same job Newland had when she was kind of thin Are you body shaming? No I'm just saying not body-shaming. She is who she is. That's right! She can love who she wants to love So that so we have that happening and then now all right This is the this is the political part. That really just blew me away We have CNN to what it's CNN CNN for years reported on but it was really the The Washington Post who tracked it all of President Trump's lies

2:15:53 His lies! He's told... how many lies was it? Do you remember, wasn't some astronomical amount. It was in the 14 thousand or something. The lies amounted to like, it's a nice day today. Nah, he lied and it's raining. He is a liar! It's not a nice day unless you'd like rain so they decide to suddenly get some religion into them and they're gonna treat President Biden the same way they treated President Trump when it comes to inaccuracy and well I don't know if they will say it's lies but here's the setup. It doesn't compare at all, I don't think frankly that there's any comparison in terms of frequency or egregiousness and dishonesty between Donald Trump than anyone Republican or Democratic

2:16:37 In Washington life, in terms of frequency Biden's number of false claims in year one was somewhere in the dozens. You could add probably dozens more if you counted misleading or lacking context claims Trump was over a thousand false claims in year one and was over three thousand false claims in your two so there is no comparison but That said, I don't think that means we wave Biden's away. Say they don't matter. I think all false claims from the president matter. All these facts matter and we can't let the previous presidency of Donald Trump set the bar so low for every subsequent president that the bar just doesn't exist anymore. So my ears perked up?

2:17:13 CNN? Do you think this is because Malone is gonna buy them through Discovery that they're gonna turn like journalists all of a sudden, is this auditioning or something else going on. No no you're right first thing he said Which is? Malone. It's all Malone! Well, let's get into... By the way when we say Malone we're talking about John Malone. The chairman CEO of Discovery Networks that own a lot. Yeah he's uh... And they're buying Warner. Media mogul. They're buying Warner Brothers or Time-Warner? Yeah Will that go through? Isn't there something? No, that will. Cool no it's one less douchebag to focus on but hold on a second because this is pretty good so... Malone you got to remember was the supporter of Trump

2:17:59 Well that explains it and explain this this kid whoever this. This is some reporter Who's he's not even in the studio? He has to come in from a webcam He's a CNN political correspondent I've never seen the guy before so uh-huh there you go here's more propaganda interesting think these guys know what a supporter of Trump he was Malone was big I think he paid for the inauguration in its first election. I think Malone's one of the main guys who bought that celebration. Holy crap, I didn't know any of that! Okay, well maybe we did but yeah... Yeah, we knew it and Malone was a Republican and these guys would- That kind of audition doesn't fly because Malone knows about the live malarkey

2:18:48 Did you just use malarkey as a term? Yeah, I'm using malarkey from now on. Let's listen to the deconstruction of the president speech according to this CNN kid. The two have the longest press conference in history filled with inaccuracies and well, you know myth trills. Yeah he made false claims about a variety important topics from Afghanistan to the economy to the COVID-19 pandemic immigration made one on ESPN in a high profile interview about the New Georgia I think some of the Afghanistan ones were among the most egregious. He said in an interview that he opposed that war from the beginning, but did not although eventually turned against it. He said what interest does the US have in Afghanistan with Al-Qaeda gone? Al Qaeda certainly degraded in Afghanistan but was not gone at the time on the economy. He repeatedly misstated what experts

2:19:42 had projected about his own plan. So, for example he repeated that the firm Moody's Analytics said that passing his American Jobs Plan would produce 16 million additional jobs while either he was misreading or misstating what Moody said it was actually a projection of 2.7 million additional job so a big difference! We had number those and then again immigration voting laws sometimes gun laws... He made false claims about a variety of things So that's just the factual stuff that actually matters, but he spent twice as much time on all the lies. I mean exaggerations personal enhancements that our president has told throughout the years and even rolled out a clip to accentuate it To me this is subjective but to me the most memorable ones were often the most trivial ones The ones where he would depart from his text

2:20:34 and invent or embellish something about his own past. We saw that last week where in a voting rights speech in Georgia he claimed, in passing, that he had been arrested. He suggested it was in the context of the civil rights movement. There is some record, some evidence of him participating in some civil rights activities back in his youth but no record of any arrest. He said a couple times that he used to drive an 18-wheeler or big truck, you know at the Mack Trucks facility to students studying truck maintenance there's no evidence he ever did that although he did once have a part time job driving his school bus and then he also made a couple to Jewish leaders in the Jewish community while trying to emphasize his connection to that community listen to something he said about his relationship with the late Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir I have known every

2:21:20 every prime minister well since gold in my ear including golden mayor and Well done Joe. During the Six Day War I had an opportunity to, she invited me to come over because i was going to be the liaison between she and the Egyptians about the Suez so on and so forth So there are two things wrong with this one he actually met with Meir weeks before the Yom Kippur war in 1973 not during the six-day war 1967 more importantly there is no evidence that this you know this senior prime minister of Israel ever had any intention of using a 30-year old rookie U.S. senator who had never been to Israel before and who the Israeli government thought of as inexperienced, as some sort of regional liaison with a key adversary." So yes that's a story about something that happened decades ago, yes it is peripheral you know to policy matters but it's fascinating to me because the president chose Adlib, chose to bring this up uh and ended up hurting his reputation for accuracy, hurting his credibility rather than achieving whatever... What? Hold on! What reputation?!

2:22:24 for accuracy. He's hurting his reputation, he has a reputation for accuracy? In what world?! That's like... that's a piece of propaganda right in there! Right but they're breaking it down they're using propaganda to break down the propaganda this is something going on you know what I'm expecting next from CNN wait for it Hunter Biden's laptop these guys are up to something Well, again it's Malone. You could also interpret it as hurting his reputation for accuracy, as in he wasn't accurate therefore he hurts his reputation. Not necessarily that has a reputation for being accurate

Nobel Laureates, Build Back Better Inflation Claims

A group of 17 Nobel Prize-winning economists signed a letter supporting the Build Back Better plan, claiming it would help curb inflation. However, the endorsement includes a recommendation for $2.7 trillion in new taxes, a detail often omitted in political messaging regarding the bill's impact on the economy.

nobel prize· build back better· inflation· taxes· paul krugman

2:23:26 No, that's not the way it would read in the subconscious. There is no... He has obviously a reputation for accuracy he just said so I don't know that he does but you'll see The thing! The thing So uh..no joke Poor kids could do as well as white kids I was doing some research on the 17 Nobel Prize laureates that said his Build Back Better scheme would stop inflation and all the rest of it. Oh, do tell! Yeah so the thing about it is you look into it the 17 Nobel laureates, which are all professors in various universities around the country in economics and there is a group of them. And they're also kind of socialists and they said that not only think this would be a good thing to pass but they encourage as part of this by the way he never mentions this did they encourage that 2.7 trillion dollars

2:24:26 in increased taxes that need to be levied on the public. Oh, that's taxes? Yeah 2.7 trillion in taxes that are necessary to pay for this bill and it needs to be The rich, I think the way they sound like it. We were promised we wouldn't pay a dime under $400,000. It pays for itself according to Biden but I'm telling you these 17 Nobel laureates have as part of their approval which is true this encouragement to nick the rich for 2.7 trillion dollars yeah

2:25:07 Exactly, that's all you can really do is just snicker. Yeah! Unbelievable And are these economists? These Nobel laureates? Yeah no they're all mostly professors Is Krugman one of them isn't he the Nobel Laureate No curiously he's not on this list What?! I was surprised myself That's what i was looking for Hmm...that's interesting It's very interesting He didn't probably, it was probably some obligation to the New York Times he couldn't sign up. I'm sure he wanted too or the CIA one of the two told him not to do it. All right uh... Do we have a couple some little screwball snippet if you want to hear about the latest? Yeah just before we take a break sure! Okay it's a two-parter this is Sleep Equity

CHAPTER 36 / 42 Discussion

Sleep Equity, Racial Disparities in Rest

Lauren Whitehurst, a professor at the University of Kentucky, introduced the concept of "sleep equity," arguing that a lack of access to restorative sleep is a systemic issue affecting minority communities. The research suggests that shift work and socioeconomic factors disproportionately impact BIPOC individuals, leading to long-term health disparities.

sleep equity· university of kentucky· bipoc· white supremacy· shift work

2:26:08 Oh God, oh God. They won't leave me alone will they? But what about sleep? Lauren Whitehurst says that should be our top priority she's an assistant professor at the University of Kentucky and she researches the cognitive effects of sleep with a focus on what she calls sleep equity And she's with us now. Lauren, welcome! Hello thank you Sasha More than a third of adults in the United States struggle with sleep issues that's according to the CDC What is it that keeps us from getting a good night's sleep? I think we can boil it down to a couple different things One is interpersonal kind of just what we do right maybe we don't value our sleep as high as we value other things in our lives

2:26:52 Other things are kind of external factors, things that act on us. Our work schedule when we have to get up when we have to be at work sometimes it's caregiving responsibilities our children not sleeping through the night other things are societal factors things outside of our control kind of the ways in which our society values our productivity versus what our sleep needs actually are And what about people who end up scrolling Twitter before they go to bed or they have that blue glow? I always hear that if you do that right before you go to bed, you're probably overstimulating yourself. It's going to affect your sleep Yes, having access to lights all the time is not great for our body's systems that regulate our sleep. There is some new science coming out that's really trying to peel apart when it is helpful to use some of the tools that our phones give us access too and when is it not? When is going to create kind of greater or exacerbate some of the sleep problems you mentioned at the top

2:27:47 There are also people who miss out on sleep more than others because of life and socioeconomic factors. You and your colleagues have a term for this, it's sleep equity. Oh my goodness! Okay I'm ready you've set me up i'm ready for it Well I could end it here No! No! And just tell you it's all blamed on white supremacy NO But they can't quite bring themselves to but they do bring themselves around nearly saying that. Oh, thank goodness Yeah, I really think about yeah

2:28:27 Yeah, I really think about sleep equity as an access issue. What we find in society is that caregiving roles or shift work working when your body would rest. Shit stop this is great! It's a sleep access issue? Issue. Oh I gotta hear this again. That is so cool. Sleep equity has an access issue. John do you have enough access to sleep? Yeah. What we find in society is that caregiving roles or shift works, working when your body would rather be sleeping disproportionately falls on people of color black people other people of color and that creates this kind of disparity in sleep that's more than just a difference more than just something your sleep is different than someone else's this is more of a systemic systematic difference that we find and that becomes a disparity

2:29:19 I want to read something from your university research web page. It's about your research interest and I'll read it slowly so people can absorb this you say that you're interested in how quote the lack of access to restorative sleep can play a role in creating or exacerbating disparities in cognitive health for communities historically underserved do have any details on the guest on the show because this sounds like Someone who went to college, got a degree in... She's a professor at Kentucky. There you go! She has a degree and she just had to come up with something I know how sleep can be racist

2:30:00 Bye, Park. When I was working shift work at Union Oil, there was like two... one probably one Mexican in the group of maybe 25 people. There's like one Mexican and one black guy. She's making it sound like only these poor blacks and the BIPOC are the only ones working shift to work and is hurting them

2:30:40 white supremacy. Anyway, continue to play the record. Thank you for communities historically underserved by science and medicine. Underserved by science and medicine? Historically what kind of racist piece-of-crap country are we how does sleep loss worsen existing health disparities in certain groups of people You know that's something that has really taken off this idea of sleep equity Sleep as the kind of original issue in a lot of other health concerns that we see has really taken off in the last 30 years or so. For a long time, we knew that sleep problems happened alongside other health conditions maybe if you had heart conditions or maybe if you had some other diabetes, other types of health issues maybe your sleep was impacted too what we're finding now is that sometimes sleep actually predates

2:31:34 those health issues. And if we can start to think about or target the sleep issue first, we can actually start to solve some of these other health disparities where we find that Black individuals are Hispanic individuals suffer from diabetes and other health conditions at higher rates than other white people in the population. And poor sleep might be worsening those problems? So hold on did they have a resolution or solution or an idea do we give all BIPOCs? Do we give them some sleeping pills, or some weed, or some gummies. It went on for hours! You know over the weekend we were... Gummies We had some conversations about the BIPOC which you know it there's still pushing this trying to make this The New Black

2:32:23 instead of the black and brown community or you know this is certainly not meant to be American descendants of slavery because it just means black indigenous people of color Which is, it's like... It's so racist! There's not a single black indigenous person of color I know who likes that. Of course not. And there was a BIPOC over there? It is rampant in the entertainment industry, it is rampant in the medical industry You cannot hire a white man No. BIPOC

2:33:03 There is no hiring of white men, barely of white women. This is largely true at the moment Yes and everyone who participates in that you're gonna see what that results in Well I don't know what it's going to result in except poor quality people you know hiring people that are not qualified is what they're doing Air traffic control is applying the BIPOC hiring methodology All of their new recruits have to be BIPOC Just somewhere Tupac is rolling over in his grave. It's like hey man keep it a Tupac who had to give the BIPOC Come out right? What about three bucks no, I didn't Sleep equity my goodness we've gone off the rails yeah okay. I don't know if I can really top it

Michigan School Board, Litter Boxes for Furries

A parent at a Michigan school board meeting expressed concern over rumors that a local school had placed a litter box in a unisex bathroom for students who identify as "furries." While the claim remains unverified, it has sparked a wider discussion on the boundaries of identity and imagination in public education.

michigan· school board· furries· litter boxes· unisex bathrooms

2:33:54 But just to make us all feel good, the NPR is not the only... Where's it coming from? Let's go to Michigan. Let's go one of our favorite little meetings a school board meeting Here's a mom who has a concern! Our community needs to understand that the agenda that is being pushed through our schools Is um Just my opinion but somewhat nefarious when it comes to some of It was addressed by a child, couple months ago. That they are put in an environment where there are kids that identify as furry, cat or dog whatever and so yesterday I heard at least one of our schools in our town has in one of the unisex bathrooms a litter box for the kids that identify as cats

2:34:43 And I am really disturbed by that. And I will do some more investigation on that, I know it's going on nationwide, I know it is part of the agenda being pushed and I don't even want to understand it but people need to be aware because as a parent I'm upset my child is put in an environment like and you know I'm all for creativity and imagination but when someone lives in a fantasy world that expects other people to go along with it, i have a problem with that. Dude! That's a great clip. This is so...I mean we have furries who are producers of the show we got no problem with that sure yeah we love your furries we gotta we got our trans women we've got everything. Do they expect one of their kids be pooping in that thing?

2:35:31 Well I'm thinking this may be a potential exit strategy. We can have kitty litter, you know approved... For people! For furries. Furry litter which will be approved for children yeah we'll have it all organically tested make sure no one's allergic to it and you know we can actually have a contract EU standards of kitty litter I'm kind of digging this but i can see where the parents might be concerned. Might have some issue oh my goodness life is great. I'm gonna show my school by donating to no agenda imagine all the people who could do that, well yeah that'd be fab. On No Agenda in the morning!

The hosts noted a significant decrease in donation volume and a shortage of "Night Rings" due to global supply chain issues. Shipping to Australia remains suspended, with the hosts citing the restrictive policies of Victorian Premier Dan Andrews as a primary obstacle to delivering producer rewards.

Gwyneth Paltrow, Goop Vagina Candle for Roe v. Wade

Gwyneth Paltrow appeared on The Tonight Show to promote a new Goop candle titled "Hands Off My Vagina," released to commemorate the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Proceeds from the candle benefit the ACLU's Women's Rights Project, though critics questioned the organization's involvement in the branding of the product.

gwyneth paltrow· goop· roe v. wade· aclu· tonight show

2:47:23 I got a report, I think one of the reasons we got low donations is because if you notice there's nobody from North Carolina. Well there was, it was Concord North Carolina our boobs lover Did we have any checks? No the checks were scant same thing Oh i have a screwball clip for ya I gotta screwball clip Yeah cause im sick and tired of this Im so sick of this This is such a fuck Gwyneth Paltrow and her goop Because she gave up on that company. Oh my goodness, all she does is come up with oh this is so funny I can do something political and do something for good and make it blahblahblah

2:48:04 So now we had to celebrate the anniversary of Roe v. Wade because you know I just want to bring honest good products to my customers, to women everywhere that's what it's about that's really what i'm trying to do. I'm Gwyneth Paltrow. Didn't she do a vagina candle or something? The candle is in honor of the anniversary of Roe V Wade We made a candle called Hands Off My Vagina Very good. Hands up! Oh, so... oh! It's edgy but that exactly gets people talking and it gets people to donate. On shit shows like yours? I think we are very pro-women at Goof obviously and we really do believe that no one should touch a woman's vagina Women should have

2:48:54 agency to make whatever choice they want to make in their lives in any area. And so we were happy to be able to partner with the ACLU and do this, it's... And the ACLU was on the vagina candle? It's really exciting. What?! Did they pay for it? Do they help with the name with the branding? What is the ACLU got to do with that these guys are off the rails. They're making just years ago because you used to give them money Oh yeah no I see Yeah oh yeah You got one plea and then you said I'm not what Yeah, they were off the rails. It was like come protest. Come on ACLU. Let me see if they have anything about a vagina I'm gonna play the rest of this horrible clip from The Tonight Show while i look up to ACLUs exact involvement in this vagina candle How do you come up with new products? You just write them all down Do you record them on your phone in the middle of night and be like oh This could be an idea or this could be something I usually get them sort of in a lightning flash Like I did with this candle

2:49:51 I was having a dinner one night and we were talking about freedoms in this country. It just sort of hit me, I was like oh I would love to make a candle like that! And sometimes they come from collaboration with the team and our team can come up with the funniest cleverest names for products So it's really, it's a great process to be able to have that creative freedom at work and do things you know will be edgy and move culture forward. And get people talking for good cause so we love it! For good cause? It went on...

Inflation Factors, Heritage Foundation and NTD Report

An online discussion led by the Heritage Foundation identified labor costs and energy regulations as the primary drivers of current U.S. inflation. Experts argued that unemployment insurance payments and the Biden administration's regulatory "toolbox" have discouraged investment in conventional energy and infrastructure.

2:51:35 Yeah, I don't think. I only had this night the dumb dog drone story. Okay let's play this inflation discussion This is something we should all know what's causing inflation that we really need to notice Where is this from? NPR, I believe. Good. Two of the main factors that affect inflation are labor and energy. That's according to an online discussion led by experts at the Heritage Foundation on Tuesday. Rachel Gressler a research fellow in economics budget and entitlements said the high inflation curve began during the pandemic when policymakers issued this $600 unemployment insurance payments that resulted in two thirds of unemployed workers collecting more money by not working

2:52:18 She also said 4.3 million workers have quit their jobs on average per month in the last four months Replacing workers is extremely costly On average takes about six to nine months worth of a worker's salary To have the cost of finding a new worker and training them So if you look at the quits this year compared to last year employers have had to replace about 10 million additional workers When you do the math, that increased their costs by about 3 to 4 percent and there's no new value added to that. It's just a higher cost. So of course they're having to pass that on to customers energy is also a critical factor when it comes to inflation, Katie Tubb, a senior policy analyst for Energy and Environmental Issues said that in 2020 energy consumption was down 7% due to COVID-19 policy responses and those in the conventional energy industry have a very uncertain future under the Biden administration. The

2:53:17 has used basically every regulatory toolbox tool in the toolbox to attack coal, oil and natural gas. Whether you're talking about the financing side of this production or the consumption side of it and so if you're in those industries I don't know why you would want to spend millions of dollars investing in workers and infrastructure when this administration has said you have no future in this country Wow. This is not NPR obviously, it's NTD New Tang Dynasty I just love the Brookings Institution has determined all those things are what makes inflation and not one word about inflating the money supply

2:54:03 Yeah, they could have dropped that in there. I think they could have dropped that in there wasn't that the original way back when we understood that we print money at 2% a year? That's what inflation was well. The problem is doing it the quantitative easing period which was supposed to be very hyperinflationary was not it was almost deflationary so those old theories are out the window No, but I'm okay. Yeah, I'm just looking at the pure definition back in the 70s when we were looking at inflation yeah? I remember my parents talking about inflation well. Yeah, the government printing too much. Yeah, I knew the same thing it was an old rule That's why everybody and their sister was predicting hyperinflation during the quantitative easing era Because they were using those old rules And it never happened no of course not because we shut down the economy

2:54:52 This is my entire theory. I'm talking about 2009, we didn't shove that in the... Oh no! No no! 2009? We shoved it all under the rug and now it's coming to roost That's what I think Who knows who knows but I know this Nick The Rat will be live right after this show on NoahJennerStream.com Hang in the troll room John we might want to hang around he's going to deconstruct our episode smoke weed and take calls So that will probably be sounds a little like a throwback to an old show we once remembered. Yo agenda? Yo agenda! Yeah, yeah, well see those guys didn't smoke weed I'm sure of it. Quite sure and if Showmix is Rolando Gonzalez and Tidewater Architects appreciate their work

2:55:41 And we return in just three short days. Having dinner with the former New York banker on Monday, so I might have stories! I'll ask him about the pending collapse Coming to you from the heart of Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No 6 In The Morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry and from Northern Silicon Valley I am John C. Dvorak We return on Thursday with another hour of deconstruction just for you Remember, we do need your support So DO IT Go to Dvorak.org slash NA See you on Thursday everybody, until then Adios Mofos! And such

2:56:43 Thank you for teaching students that our own mental health is much less important than making triple vaccinated adults feel safe. Thank you for teaching me that even the most minute risk is not worth taking. Life is best when you take the path of least resistance, with no chance of failure and definitely no chance of catching a cold Thank you for allowing me to experience the anxiety associated with never seeing facial expressions. Thank you for teaching us that we should never question authority or think critically, but instead follow whatever the people in charge tell us to do I realize now that thinking for yourself is overrated and not really necessary when you can just make decisions based on fear! Thank you for pushing your irrational fears and anxieties on me because i didn't already have enough to worry about

2:57:31 Obedience is best. Masks work! Thank you for teaching me that being a morally superior person only requires that I cover my face for 8 hours per day, and that the most morally superior people wear 2 masks or even 3 masks. Thank you for staying silent about masking despite the fact that COVID has a very high survival rate in kids my age. Who needs data anyway though? We all know it will never be safe to see anyone's face ever again This morning the cabinet concluded that because of the extraordinary booster campaign, together with the way the public have responded to the Plan B measures we can return to Plan A in England and allow Plan B regulations to expire. And there was much rejoicing

2:58:21 As a result, from the start of Thursday next week mandatory certification will end. And there was much rejoicing. Organisations can of course choose to use the NHS Covid pass voluntarily but we will end the compulsory use of Covid safety certification in England. There was much rejoicing. From now on the government is no longer asking people to work from home and there was much rejoicing The government will no longer mandate the wearing of face masks. We will no longer require face masks in classrooms and the Department for Education will shortly remove national guidance on their use in communal areas. And there was much rejoicing.
