A massive trucker uprising in Canada challenges the Trudeau administration while institutional shifts at CNN and the Federal Reserve signal a period of intense social upheaval.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faces a massive challenge as the Canadian trucker convoy occupies Ottawa to protest federal vaccine mandates. While Trudeau dismisses the movement as a fringe minority, local residents report constant audible violence from truck horns and significant logistical blockades. The Canadian Anti-Hate Network and CBC have highlighted the presence of controversial imagery, though protesters maintain these symbols are intended to label the government as authoritarian rather than express neo-Nazi sentiment.

Texas Snowmageddon, Power Grid Stability, and Generator Installation
The hosts discuss the arrival of "Snowmageddon Part 2" in the Texas Hill Country, noting empty shelves at HEB grocery stores. Reference is made to Governor Greg Abbott's promises regarding power grid stability following previous outages. One host provides an update on the installation of a new backup generator and propane tank system to ensure broadcasting capability during winter storms.

Justin Trudeau, Canadian Trucker Convoy, and Vaccination Narratives
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau addresses the Canadian trucker protests, praising the 90% of truckers who are vaccinated while dismissing the "Freedom Convoy" as a non-representative minority. The discussion highlights the discrepancy between government narratives and the scale of the protests in Ottawa. The hosts critique the mainstream media's framing of the movement as a fringe element.
02:28 I said, if the domestic extremists take out the power grid and this thing is not hooked up we're going to be very upset with you. To which they said really? Oh! I hope that happens finally target practice with moving targets So it's probably too cold for them to come out and work No no no no this isn't... are you kidding These are real men They don't mess around They're like oh I have Corona I can't come No none of that Real Men speaking of The truckers In Candanavia, it continues very little M5M coverage. But that doesn't sound right because I have a clip from Trudeau who addressed this situation Oh so I must have it all wrong let's see what the Prime Minister says To the nearly 90% of truckers across the country who've gotten vaccinated Who continue working hard to keep us fed and keep our economy moving Thank you
03:33 truckers have tough jobs, long hours on the road days away from their families. Real challenges particularly over the past two years as they've continued to step up to put food on our shelves and on our tables to support us with life-saving medication and supplies we have relied on you and you can rely on us to continue to stand with Almost 90% of you are doing exactly that right exactly that and we thank you Deeply for everything. You've done the behavior on display this weekend does not Represent you yeah, okay? So if it's 50,000 trucks That's only 10 percent so that would be there's a how many truckers are there in Candinavia Yeah It just seems like a lot but that was their narrative was
CHAPTER 03 / 65Discussion
Bernie Farber, Nazi Imagery Allegations, and Canadian Anti-Hate Network
Bernie Farber of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network appears on CBC to discuss the presence of swastikas and Confederate flags at the Ottawa protests. Farber describes the display as the worst racist propaganda he has seen in Canada since the 1960s. The hosts argue that the imagery is being used by protesters to label the government as Nazis rather than expressing neo-Nazi sentiment.
04:34 That but this is the CBC and I think this kind of was all telling about where they're pushing this now reach out to Bernie Farber He is the chair of the Canadian anti-hate network in Canada. Thank you for joining sounds a lot like the Anti defamation deformation league yesterday Thank you, Michael. Listen I want to begin with your thoughts as someone who grew up in Ottawa and someone whose father was a Holocaust survivor when you see or hear about swastikas being painted onto Parliament Hill of being used to deface property around the nation's capital what goes through your mind?
05:12 Well, it's absolutely frightening. I think you have to remember that it is not just me but there are many of my friends and family and others in the Jewish community and in the community of color and other minority groups but specifically those groups that have been targeted by Nazis and neo-Nazis You see swastikas and confederate flags, but specifically swastika flags. Swastika flags! Walking down residential streets as a councillor just noted I mean it does fill you with apprehension It fills you with fear it fills you with concern and as a child of Holocaust survivor I understand that I actually think most Canadians get this And it's not just a few malcontents or a couple flags
05:57 This so-called convoy actually ceded the ground, in my opinion for the worst display of Nazi and racist propaganda that I have ever seen in this country. And I've been to lots of protests and many more such as these going back to the late 1960s to this very day. Honestly, I have never ever seen anything like this. Does this guy know that those swastikas are indicators that it's the government, that's the Nazis?
CHAPTER 04 / 65Discussion
Whoopi Goldberg, The View, and Holocaust Definition Controversy
Whoopi Goldberg faces suspension from "The View" after claiming the Holocaust was not about race but about "man's inhumanity to man." The hosts analyze clips from the show where co-hosts struggle to define white supremacy and compare vaccine mandates to the yellow stars worn by Jews. The segment critiques the historical literacy of mainstream media personalities regarding the Holocaust.
06:34 It's not a bunch of Nazis writing swastikas out because they want to kill Jews. I don't think his bias is different, no i don't think he understands that. You don't think he understands? No And by the way we are-I do want to remind people and I hate to do it during this uh Whoopi Goldberg wondrous moment where she doesn't know what the Holocaust even was That the definition of Holocaust survivor was somebody that was alive During the Holocaust era, it doesn't mean they were in a camp. Oh that's really interesting you know we should probably play this clip because I we really don't need to do much about the about whoopi Goldberg because I don't have any clips. Well, actually have one that is it's from it's not from the apology or any of that stuff for her timeout or all of this you know the outrage she should've been kicked off just like Osborne
07:30 I was bored! Oh please. But what was interesting is the whole crew is now, you know after she kind of makes this opening flub and you know and she makes the big mistake of saying no no Jews... It wasn't a flub hello? No okay She makes the mistake of calling Jews white people and then just doubling down or tripling down. But listen to what the other women are also saying about the Holocaust, even in comparison to vaccination passports etc., different status of people and how completely
08:10 clueless they are in what they're actually saying. I just want to play this one. Well also if you're going to do this then let's be truthful about it because the Holocaust isn't about race no, no it's not about race but it's it's not about race It's not about race. What is it about? Because you...it's about man's inhumanity to man This is what so cool! So, its' about mans inhumanity to man Does this sound familiar at any point in recent history?! That's what it's about But it's about white supremacy
08:46 It's not about race. But these are two white groups of people, how do we see them as white? You're missing the point. The minute you turn it into race it goes down this alley let's talk about it for what it is. It's how people treat each other. It doesn't matter if your black or white because black, white Jews, everybody eats each other so If you're uncomfortable, if you hear about mouse should you be worried? Should your child say oh my god I wonder if that's me. No! That's not what they're gonna say They are going to say I don't want to be like that Well hopefully. I wanna be cool Most kids they don't wanna be cruel And we are living in an era where people
09:37 comparing vaccine cards to the yellow stars where people are comparing vaccinations to what Anne Frank went through. So it is necessary for kids to learn about cholera. They do not see the clear comparison between vaccine cards and yellow stars, yet they're very clearly able to articulate this about man being mean and horrible to other people These people are not healthy in their mind. No, they're not healthy for the viewing public That's certainly not! Okay now to the national, the global question By the way did one of them say kids don't want to be cool?
CHAPTER 05 / 65Discussion
Ottawa Residents, Noise Complaints, and Vaccine Mandate Jurisdictions
Residents of downtown Ottawa express frustration over sleep deprivation caused by constant truck honking and road closures. A viral clip features an angry resident arguing with a trucker, claiming that vaccine mandates are provincial under Doug Ford rather than federal. The hosts debate the accuracy of these claims, noting federal mandates for government employees and travel.
10:23 I'm telling you it was in there. No, I think it was cruel not cool. Oh okay that could be. Here's the national who will learn a little more about what the mainstream is thinking A breakfast barbecue in the middle of what's normally a busy downtown street now full of parked vehicles these truckers say they've been so overrun with donations they're feeding people in the neighborhood too We came here to be respectful all the people that live in this city But still make our cause heard. But some fed up residents feel all this has become more occupation than protest. Alan Gemmel took a sandwich calling it repayment for his lack of sleep. Now we hear these horns going on that long, driving us crazy. I haven't seven three days and we're trying to get to campus
11:12 but all of the bus routes to campus are closed. It's a little bit intimidating coming into work, which I have to do every day. They're in what I would call the splash zone. I feel bad for them... But when you want to change something in history there is always going to be some uncomfortableness involved with that So the residents of Ottawa, many are flipping out. I'm sure they have not slept in several days it must be very difficult with everything but again you see the same type of division amongst the citizens here's a very angry Ottawa resident who is going out and yelling at the truckers to stop the noise they got to end it all but then listen to his view of the mandates
12:01 And what he thinks a mandate is when it's really not that such a big deal. He's clearly, you know, white collar worker probably working from home. It has to fucking stop! Then it stops when the government lifts the mandates You fucking idiot! The mandates are provincial, non-federal! The mandates if your mad about wearing a mask or getting a fucking vaccine Go talk to Doug Ford! Okay, well you know what? The fucking Prime Minister has nothing to do with this. Actually he does... Do you know anything about civics?! Yes actually I do because didn't the federal government make vaccine mandates for all federal employees and all federal- It's a requirement for your fucking job! Yeah exactly that's part of the mandate man Well that's a choice! Is not a choice if they lost their jobs! The honking will continue
CHAPTER 06 / 65Discussion
Trevor Noah, The Daily Show, and National Monument Desecration
Trevor Noah comments on the Ottawa protests, highlighting reports of protesters climbing on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and using racial slurs. The hosts criticize the quality of the writing on "The Daily Show" and suggest the program is failing to capture the nuance of the situation. They view the segment as an attempt to reinforce negative stereotypes about the protesters.
12:53 So this poor resident is saying it's only if you want if you want to go to work, that's your choice. Yeah Sure everybody has a choice not to go to your job because the mandates It's people are losing it losing it then this dumb reporting that we heard from Candid Navia and mainstream It's it's not much better here Let's check in with Trevor Noah on The Daily Show Things got a little out of hand in Ottawa when some of the freedom protesters decided They wanted a little more freedom than most people were comfortable with. While much of the protest was peaceful this morning, police are investigating some incidents involving the desecration of national monuments including Canada's tomb of The Unknown Soldier Last night another protester was seen climbing onto the monument
13:41 Wow. Nazi flags, peeing on war memorials shouting racial slurs in homeless shelters. Honestly it's kind of refreshing to see Canadians break their stereotype. That was the best he could do? Yes the best you can do! They get better writers... So I have a couple of boots-on-the-ground reports one is from because you just impossible to get anything from mainstream course is what we typically do one is from Gad Saad from his podcast he got a Canadian trucker on
CHAPTER 07 / 65Discussion
Gad Saad, Trucker Interview, and Media Fabrication Claims
A Canadian trucker interviewed on Gad Saad's podcast claims that mainstream media reports are fabricated and that no politicians have actually met with the protesters. The trucker explains that the controversial parking at the War Memorial occurred because protesters parked in spots usually reserved for media vehicles. The hosts present this as a "boots on the ground" counter-narrative to official news reports.
14:33 And he actually addresses some of these very issues like the urine stains on Okay, so here's this guy is going to give some real short feedback on certain things that are taking place. The first one is the reporting from the M5M. Despite the various politicians trying to virtue signal around some of the truckers we have not spoken with or met with any politician We have not spoken or met with any member of mainstream media
15:12 So everything that you're hearing from them is completely fabricated or their interpretation of what's going on. So when you see a politician sitting in front of the truckers saying, I'm with the truckers and the truckers want A B C or D they have no clue because they haven't spoken to any of us. The incident at the memorial appears to be a little different than the media portrayed it. They also complained about the incident at the war memorial where somebody parked their truck on the war memorial, or what they did is they parked their truck in the exact same spot that the media parks in during events in that area during Memorial Day so I think they're upset that one of our trucks took their parking spot Doesn't that sound totally believable?
CHAPTER 08 / 65Discussion
Justin Trudeau, Media Subsidies, and Fabricated Video Clips
A satirical or edited clip of Justin Trudeau circulates, suggesting he admitted to paying the media $600 million in subsidies to ensure favorable headlines. The hosts discuss the reality of Canadian government "COVID relief" for failing media outlets and how it influences coverage. They praise the editing of the clip while acknowledging its likely status as a "herky-jerk" fabrication.
15:59 It's totally believable and probably true. Now this is, I'm pretty sure this is fake it's of Trudeau and not sure what the context is but it does put his words together to explain The true reason why the mainstream may be kind of a little more on his side if you recall the Candanavian government made six hundred million dollars available as subsidy to the media outlets, you know, that's cold failing kovat relief Yes Of course You sometimes hear about liberal bias in the media these days how they're constantly letting off our government and letting our government off the hook for no good reason Frankly I think that's insulting
16:44 It's clear that they let us off the hook for a very good reason because we paid them 600 million dollars. You don't get stellar headlines like these without greasing the wheels of it." It's a good clip, I don't know if he said that all in one sentence? If somebody put that together then they did an excellent job. Very good job yeah as opposed to the herky jerk that we normally get with these fake clips But the truth is in the actual information. Now, what he said is absolutely true! We have our own boots on the ground report from our very own producer which... He sent me a like a seven minute report I chopped it down into a couple of bits that I think are important for us to share with Gitmo Nation In the morning John and Adam this is Pablo in North America's French-speaking heartland in Candanavia
CHAPTER 09 / 65Discussion
Producer Pablo, Ottawa Protest Logistics, and Audible Violence
Producer Pablo provides a detailed report from the front lines in Ottawa, describing how police use blockades to hide the true number of trucks from cameras. He addresses the "swastika flag" incident as a potential plant and discusses the new concept of "audible violence" regarding truck horns. Pablo expresses hope that the movement will successfully overturn all Canadian vaccine mandates.
17:35 Quick boots on the ground report from Ottawa. This thing needs international coverage so the fact that no agenda can cover it is really going to turn a lot of people onto the cause, gonna really be the media we need so this is why I'm reaching out to you been a long follower for a long time and know how well you guys get into this type of subject so much appreciated however Canadianisms need to stop goofy North American Canadian neighbors of America. We are to some degree, but at the same time what's going on right now is super serious it's the front line in the fight against all these control taking measures that have been put in place on the back of COVID so from having seen I've realized how serious this is and Canadians are standing strong stronger than a lot of other countries right now they've got heart
18:23 They've got soul and they're fighting with their actions, which is to really make a big stand So if we can lay off the A's on the maple syrup that'd be awesome. Yeah I think that's a bit too much to ask honestly We kiss we've never made fun of maple syrup have we why would we? God send and I don't think we do a I think we do a boot I may have done A once in a while because Canadians say it alot. When i do my Canadian accent they say A. So everything we discuss is serious but if we can't have fun with it, its not going to be fun!
19:01 Anyway, Pablo has a couple of points to make and he also mentions the m5m reporting in terms of the mainstream media They're attacking the movement on three fronts number one. They're Reducing obviously the numbers they're not showing how many people are in the city? Police are staggering all of the blockades so you don't actually see the trucks end-to-end there about maybe 20 kill division Blockades around the city and they move them around the city when the cameras show up I Number two, they're saying it's far-right extremists. They're trying to go with the Trump narrative of just discrediting them from political affiliations and racism which is not true but somebody walked around with a swastika flag I'm not sure if Trudeau bought it himself and handed it some douchebag who took $200 to do it But obviously that was the one photo that was going around in the world in mainstream media So they are trying to discredit on extremism basis and far right
19:55 They're also trying to say that it is violence, but this is absolutely ridiculous. I've never been offered so many hugs and gestures and food... Basically everything is absolutely lovely! And yeah there's no violence to be seen if there has been any It's obviously being the only thing they've reported on Pablo luckily self-corrects himself because there IS violence It's just a new categorization of violence. One thing they're saying is an act of violence is blowing their horns, which is this new term of the word violence this kind of like post-feminism post critical race theory post you know that systemic violence or the acts of oppression it's just people who are really pissed off with having their freedoms taken away from them so This angle is really weird No I love it! That's audible violence bro You being violent
20:52 I can see that totally becoming a new definition of violence. Noise violence and... It's a stretch but it works Pablo wraps it up with what he thinks the outcome will be How do you think this is going to play out? I think the truckers, if they stay there will actually be able to overturn all the mandates I think they can make really big difference So hopefully they will be well resourced enough, there'll be enough logistics, there'll be enough public opinion support and there won't be any conflicts or incited conflicts or paid opposition to clear them out. If they stick we'll get this so I'm super hopeful on that one And the final thing is... The one thing I find ingenious about this entire movement absolutely fantastic is the simple clarity of the message. I've talked with lots of different truckers
21:46 and they all have the same message which is they want the end of all mandates. Now that seems like quite obvious but in the mainstream media it's being played out, they're saying well it's just truckers wanting their mandates removed while there spreading disinformation or this than the other It's really simple They don't wanna tell you the vaccines garbage They do not wanna tell you that masks dont work They dont wanna tell you that XYZ mandate doesn't work They just want them to stop Yeah I was talking to a Candanavian, Janice Dean actually. And she's born in Canada and she says, I love the truckers! I'm so for what they're doing but she too is very skeptical because all the noise coming from the government is anything but hugs and loving and yeah we get it
CHAPTER 10 / 65Discussion
Justin Trudeau, Relationship Manager Role, and Liberal Party Insiders
An insider report from a senior Liberal Party official characterizes Justin Trudeau as a "relationship manager" and an actor who follows a script rather than making policy. The real power is attributed to a circle including Gerald Butts, Katie Telford, and Omar Alghabra. The hosts compare this dynamic to the perceived management of President Joe Biden in the United States.
22:45 The government, since we're winding this down anyway into at least if the program goes by the playbook. Yeah. The government can't let this... It's like for example say you're about to end a mandate and then this happens? And you end a mandate that makes it look like you caved Yes I get the sense that Trudeau is one of those guys who could never because he's weak would ever could really actually appear to have caved So they're gonna just it's not going to end as well as Pablo thinks. I don't believe so either We've seen this get these governments and how they operate especially during this era Yeah, it's not pleasant. I actually skipped one clip from The Canadian trucker that Gad Saad had on and it's a short clip but he explains with names who's really controlling Trudeau
23:41 And Trudeau is, I think he calls him just a communicator. Like Biden basically! You know they're just like alright here's your script go out there... Except for the fact that Biden is not much of a communicator. Well there's that. Justin Trudeau was kind of an airhead and this is from a very senior official within the Liberal Party who explained this to us He has no involvement. He has no idea, he doesn't watch the news, he's kept completely isolated... ...he doesn't make policy decisions like they had no interest in politics so what they've done if they decided.. ..he's gonna be and let it slip one time the relationships manager
24:22 So he's the actor they want to go say something They say Justin talk about a B and C and he goes that it goes and does it. That's why it seems so incongruent He'll talk about things in a time that just make no sense And anger people because he has no idea now the team around him his best friend Jerry Butts, he essentially runs everything with Katie Telford Omar Algebra Navdeep Bains, they are the ones who is no longer there and Eric Hoskins is now the new replacement. There you go! That makes total sense he's the relationship manager That sums him up. Now I have to go look up those guys Yeah, I know and with us in America at least it's easy Obama is running Biden we all know it they even say it themselves like yeah so yes but here here's the issue in the world around Trudeau now we do have
CHAPTER 11 / 65Discussion
Global Vaccine Passport Updates, Israel, and Italy Restrictions
Israel moves to end vaccine passports as immunologists admit the policy does not prevent transmission, while the UK scraps mandates for NHS staff. Conversely, Italy implements strict "Green Pass" requirements for grocery stores and retail as of February 1. The hosts discuss the logistical confusion in Italy where unvaccinated citizens can buy food but are restricted from other products in the same store.
25:17 Grandpa Joe here at the south of everybody which and we definitely are not done yet There's still all kinds of bullcrap going on Moe got fired from his job after 15 years for refusing a mandate But in Israel that stinks. Oh, it stinks big-time They kept him in limbo and sent him a form letter not even with this first name fifteen years in Israel They're going to end vaccine passports for most places. Reason? Immunologists have said, well it really doesn't make any sense because everybody can spread this so you don't really...it doesn't really make much sense to have some kind of separation We have in the UK they're even going as far as scrapping vaccine mandate for NHS staff I guess they are really serious now about actually saving the NHS Italy
26:20 exactly the opposite. Italy as of February 1 is now requiring almost everywhere that you go a COVID green pass including grocery stores so this is going to be interesting I'm sorry, it does include supermarkets. You can go to the big box but you can't go to anything else without a green pad. No other retail...you can buy food but you can't buy other products in the same stores very similar to what Canada is doing. So you can go into a big giant Walmart which has a grocery store inside. You can walk around in there and get groceries, but you can't go to the rest of the store and you can't go do a small grocery that's independent of Walmart? Is that what I'm hearing? Correct! How does that fare? Ask your relationships manager he'll be able to explain it to ya
CHAPTER 12 / 65Discussion
T-Mobile Firings, Pfizer Pediatric Vaccines, and Michael Strahan
T-Mobile reportedly prepares to fire unvaccinated corporate employees, leading the hosts to consider switching carriers. Meanwhile, Pfizer applies for Emergency Use Authorization for COVID-19 vaccines for children aged six months to five years. The hosts mock Michael Strahan's reporting on the matter and question the necessity of vaccinating infants despite low trial efficacy in toddlers.
27:20 This is new, I don't know if it's true. T-Mobile apparently is going to fire unvaccinated corporate employees starting this week? If that's true, I'd like to know if anyone knows... I've heard this report and think its true. It's going to be very interesting how the service suffers for T-Mobile Yeah we're on T-Mobile! I'm gonna get right off Let me rephrase that We will change carriers Screw those guys man And then we have some other dumb stuff that we're doing here in the United States because it's not over yet. Now to the latest on the pandemic, and that headline from Pfizer applying for emergency use authorization for its COVID vaccine for children under five years old Is his lisp getting worse? Seems worse. Who is that? That's...that's the guy they put in a dress! The football guy
28:18 Oh, uh, Strahan. Strahan! Yeah I didn't recognize his voice. He's getting worse. It sounds like he's slissing more. Now to the latest on the pandemic in that headline from Pfizer applying for emergency use authorization for its COVID vaccine for children... Yeah, mushroom mouth. It's probably cotton mouth. He's probably got cotton mouth. He's gonna mush himself out of work because you can't be understood. Good morning, this is a major step towards vaccinating America's youngest children against COVID. Pfizer formally requesting emergency use authorization for kids six months to five years old. Pfizer does expect that the vaccine series will eventually require three doses but is now submitting the trial data for just two doses citing an urgent public health need federal
29:10 regulators reportedly asking Pfizer to move forward despite a lower immune response and two-to four year olds during the trials, the shots are one tenth the strength of adult doses. This process now moves to an FDA advisory panel meeting in a couple of weeks if the Pfizer vaccine is authorized for kids under five the CDC would then give the final green light and we could see those first shots by the end of the month yeah jab it in six months baby! Six months? It's beautiful. Shoot those kids up, who's gonna do this? You know what's going to happen is the hospitals are going to shoot them up! What were you about to say? Who's gonna let their...who's gonna shoot their child up at six months? Lots! If you look at the numbers even the five... Yeah, you're in Texas I'm in California I can assure you Five to eleven year olds is really like 30 percent That's a lot of people yeah but it's not what was expected it's not lots isn't its few
CHAPTER 13 / 65Discussion
Dr. Jen Ashton, Holistic Health, and CDC Masking Guidance
Dr. Jen Ashton of ABC News suggests a "holistic view" of health including rest, exercise, and diet for the first time in two years. The hosts note that these basic health tips were previously ignored or labeled as misinformation when suggested by figures like Joe Rogan. The segment also covers the inclusion of "coronavirus" (the common cold) in general respiratory pathogen discussions.
30:07 30% is not lots, it's in aggregate. 30 percent of millions? In aggregate! Oh okay you want to switch between percentages and absolute numbers... No I've always been against the percentages approach. I've always put raw numbers. Yeah well at least they're all in California so that's the good news. There's plenty in New York. Now listen what are we gonna do to stay safe seriously John Double vax double boosted. How do we stay safe first question? Dr. Jen already received my booster shot how else can I protect myself so let's take a holistic view here and remember even though Let's for the first time in two years, let's take a holistic view
30:51 It seems like all the attention is about COVID. There are other things out there that we want to boost our immune system to help... Tuberculosis! It's worse than that. So really take a big picture view, the best things for your immune system rest exercise and a good diet. We haven't heard that from Dr. Jen in 24 months at all ever say, you know get some sunshine. You haven't heard that from anyone! That's a bad approach. No one has ever said that. Take some vitamins and get a good night sleep. The only person saying it was Joe Rogan. Exercise and a good diet if you're talking specifically about an airborne respiratory pathogen like influenza coronavirus
31:36 common cold. You know we... Notice how coronavirus, which is the common cold is just shoved in there like not COVID night not covid SARS-CoV2 coronavirus you know you put protect against that you can do stuff against corona virus. ...pathogen like influenza coronavirus common cold you know we've talked about masks now for two years we've talked about ventilation we've talked about hand hygiene all of those things really important but it's so key not to focus on COVID. Good point, all right Dr. Ash. All right oh yeah all right yeah. Give her the hook! You guys might as well catch us up with Walensky. Walensky who gives her update on PBS and she then she says she's done giving a little spiel and she just looks like a Basset hound
CHAPTER 14 / 65Discussion
Dr. Rochelle Walensky, Hospital Capacity, and Media Strategy
CDC Director Rochelle Walensky appears on PBS to warn that it is too soon to lift COVID-19 restrictions due to high hospitalization and death rates. The hosts criticize her media presence, describing her as "overexposed" and a "media whore." They suggest she should take a sabbatical to Bali as her messaging is no longer resonating with the public.
32:24 She gives her update and then she puts two masks on. The CDC warned today that it's too soon to start lifting COVID-19 restrictions, that came amid reports that the U.S death rate is running higher than in other wealthy nations due in part to lagging vaccinations The CDC's director acknowledged that infections are down sharply, but she said there are still too many cases. Our hospitalization rates are still quite high and certainly having hospital capacity challenges in many parts of the country still so we really do have to look to our hospitalization rates and our death rates to look to when is time to lift some of these mitigation efforts We will continue to reevaluate And we know people are anxious
33:10 Dr. Walensky said it is still true that most patients hospitalized with COVID are unvaccinated. Uh-huh, I slipped that in at the end! I realize that these people like Walensky and certainly Fauci and many others they think they understand media And if we were advising Walensky as a celebrity or an influencer who we had in our vast stable of the Curry-Dvorak talent agency, We would say you know what? Hey, hey Walensky come in here sit down for second. You got to back off. You gotta go away for a little bit I think you should go on a sabbatical to Bali tweet about that
CHAPTER 15 / 65Discussion
Johns Hopkins University, Lockdown Meta-Analysis, and Mask Study Skepticism
A Johns Hopkins University analysis finds that lockdowns in Europe and the U.S. only reduced COVID-19 mortality by 0.2% on average. The study also concludes that shelter-in-place orders were largely ineffective. The hosts discuss the "about-face" by prestigious institutions and question the validity of mask studies that focused on employees rather than the general public.
33:52 But she's overexposed. These people are... the message is not working. They're media whores! Yeah, but that's my point it doesn't work No. God no! No So John Hopkins, Johns Hopkins released an analysis of COVID-19 measures Now this yes Spook Central if anything this has to be some kind of well you know we did the study we told you wasn't all that great Even though they hosted event 201. So here's your summary more specifically stringency index in studies find that lockdowns in Europe and the United States only reduced COVID-19 mortality by 0.2% on average let that sink in
34:39 Lockdown orders only reduced COVID-19 mortality rate by 0.2%. The shelter in place orders were also ineffective, only reducing COVID-19 mortality by 2.9% on average. Specifically the study that we...the studies also find no broad based evidence of noticeable effects on COVID-19 mortality, the NPI studies. Shelter in place orders let me see they have some detail on this That's the 2.9. Hey man, if it saves one life it's good enough! Mandating face masks an intervention that was not widely used in the spring of 2020 and in many countries is even discouraged seems to have had a large effect minus 21.2 percent but this conclusion is based on only two studies again our categorization may play a role as the larger mass estimate from Chernuskov et al is in fact employee face mask oh
35:39 So they did bogus studies to prove the face masks without members of the general public. This is very odd that Johns Hopkins is publishing this. It's part of getting out of it, getting out and gettin' the about-face... Yeah we gotta start, this gonna be leaking out there very slowly, it's all a scam I have a bunch of clips that I want to play And I have a problem with them. Okay, which is like these were sent or the link was sent by one of our producers and it's from a podcast and a really good one so like if one of the Defense Department podcasts, but an official one? No. Oh okay unofficial yeah because it's too frightening
CHAPTER 16 / 65Discussion
DMED Data, Military Medical Statistics, and Attorney Thomas Renz
Attorney Thomas Renz presents data from the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED) showing massive spikes in medical conditions among military personnel in 2021. Reported heart attacks rose 269%, pulmonary embolisms rose 467%, and miscarriages rose over 250%. The hosts discuss the significance of this data, which is entered by medical providers rather than the general public.
36:26 I can't wait. Go podcasting! I want somebody to tell me what this podcast is and one of our producers knows, and they may even put it in the troll room. This is about the Defense Department's own study. They have their own VAERS system Yes, of their own people...of the military. Yeah, the DOD personnel. And if you've heard these or not? I have heard most of them yes Well, don't you think we should plan for the public at large? Yes of course I do. Of course! Then should we have a disclaimer... ...at the beginning like they're gonna do with poor Joe How about this? And say it's just misinformation even though it comes from documents It comes from actual documents its misinformation somehow No, I think all we have to do is say hey man were just two dummies
37:15 That's that's dumb. Hey, man, we're just two dummies we don't know what we're talking about We're just goofing around. We don't know what we're saying but comedy show Yeah Hello It's been listed as a comedy category from day one and by the way This is some of the funniest stuff you're gonna ever hear This is vaccine mishaps, the DOD reports on vaccine mishaps based on stats. Statistics. Statistics? On facts! Okay not alternative facts but DOD facts. Thomas Renz, the attorney for doctors Peter Chambers, Teresa Long and Samuel Sigaloff. Okay I'm just gonna call bullshit on the background music for a moment. Testify before... Okay now i'm going to stop you there yeah? I can't agree more but unfortunately very few of these people have gone to the Adam Curry School of Podcasting
38:09 and know not to do this. This comes from, uh...this idea of playing stupid background music thinking it's gonna make it, it's gonna add to what is already pretty spectacular information It really stems from those crazy podcasts Remember that podcast that came out and became the first great podcast? It was about some murder or something Cereal! It all comes from NPR and PR even does it on their regular broadcast. They'll play music for some stupid reason so I Just it's called setting the mood is what its call as bullcrap Yeah Congress regarding data leak directly from the Defense Health Agency's defense medical epidemiology database Otherwise known as D med yeah
38:55 Within DMED exists the Defense Medical Surveillance Systems, DMSS which contains up-to-date and historic data on diseases medical events and data on DOD personnel. The database is similar to VAERS the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System but it's distinct in that it only applies the DoD personnel and only medical providers can input information into the system Upon inspection, we can see that information has been gathered from a five-year average of dozens of diseases and medical disorders. Myocardial infarction or a heart attack rose 269% in a 10 month period from January to November 2021 from 612 cases to 1,650
39:47 pericarditis rose 175% from 589 cases to 1029. Myocarditis rose 285% from 127 cases to 363. Pulmonary embolisms rose 467%, from 746 cases to 3,489. Cerebral infarction, Bell's palsy Immunodeficiencies, ITP, menstrual irregularity MS Neoplasms Non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage Spontaneous abortion or miscarriage All rose at least 250% or higher Some cases 350% Disseminated intravascular coagulation
40:42 A rare and serious condition that disrupts your blood flow due to a blood clotting disorder that can turn into uncontrollable bleeding rose 1,175% from 7 to 87 documented incidents. HIV often leads to AIDS rose 590% from 454 cases to 2,681. Well John... I figure we might as well get along with the cool kids and do the same thing The only problem i have here is that you just excoriated me for percentages That 1000 percent could literally be 10 people!
41:28 Well, he... okay. I agree with you He uses percentages and then gives hard numbers Ah! Okay In most cases in one or two instances he just throws percentages out which is cheating Yeah But for the most part i think these numbers because he does use hard numbers I think are kind of frightening Oh? Are you surprised How can you be frightened by this? I'm stunned. I'm really shocked! I can't believe this is going on under my nose. And just as a quick aside, Myocarditis rates in France up 31%, 75% in Germany now there's soccer players coming out publicly and saying hey hey hey
CHAPTER 17 / 65Discussion
Comirnaty Licensing, Pfizer Risk Management, and Military Trials
The Department of Defense is accused of using service members as a giant study group for mRNA vaccines under a 158-page Risk Management Plan. The discussion focuses on the legal distinction between the FDA-approved Comirnaty and the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) versions actually being administered. The hosts highlight the withdrawal of the BLA license on the same day it was granted.
42:15 We got people dying here. What's going on? Ooh! Hey, what is lost Hans? Das stinkt nicht I don't want to keep beating this up but we might as well beat it up a little more because that was only half of his list and here we go with the part two is the other half He keeps this up It's at the point where you have to say to yourself hey wait a minute Something's wrong here chest pain which averaged 4,892 reported incidents from 2016 to 2020 rose 1,529% to 74,813 individuals. Dyspnea which is difficult or labored breathing rose 905 percent from 4968
43:10 to 44,990. You may ask why? Why would the Department of Defense knowingly continue to harm the service members who comprise the military? While we can't answer that question for certain... We can offer a great deal of information which we've used to form our own opinion Documents we released in October of 2021 revealed a 158-page RMP titled, Comirnaty COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Risk Management Plan which laid out plans to study DoD data in relation to service members' response to COVID-19 vaccines.
43:49 A document within the study, titled Pharmacovigilant Plan highlights C4591011 a post-authorization study for personnel within the DoD and their family members. And how myocarditis and pericarditis affect those who have taken Pfizer's BioNTech EUA vaccine The sponsor, in this case the DoD has agreed to provide regular studies of the EUA vaccine on service members in periodic safety update reports. Because Pfizer has not produced their FDA approved Comirnaty, and we know based on our own research and reporting along with numerous other publications that EUA vaccines are the only vaccines available to service members. We can surmise that American military forces have been used as a giant study group for over a year now
44:44 We also know that Pfizer's Comirnaty, which once again hasn't even been produced was given BLA licensing on August 23rd of 2021 from the FDA then had that same BLA license withdrawn on the same day. Yeah when he says Comirnaty what is that does that a fancy word for trial? No, Cominerti is that... Oh! Oh! We're talking about the vaccine. My goodness. It's the name of the vaccine Yeah this is not unknown I mean this information has kind of been out there and there's been you know I think it was Ron Johnson trials yeah they've had a couple people testify to it or whatever that setting is not like an under oath super thing but uh yeah this should make people worried
CHAPTER 18 / 65Discussion
Lloyd Austin, Tenet Health, and National Security Impacts
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin is criticized for mandating vaccines despite licensing irregularities and his personal financial ties to Tenet Health, which profited from Pfizer distributions. The hosts discuss the discharge of hundreds of service members and the potential long-term disastrous effects on U.S. national security. They describe the situation as an assault on the armed forces.
45:33 Well, I would be worried if i was in the military and of course they're kicking people out left and right so uh but the truckers have a point up there in Canada. But let's listen to the final summary Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin announced a mandatory vaccine for service members on August 24th based on the licensing even though the license had been withdrawn before his announcement Due to the political influence applied to the vaccine and the amount of money that was made off its distribution, it's hard to imagine an agreement wasn't made behind closed doors to make the vaccine appear as if it had been approved by the FDA. The Secretary of Defense himself
46:15 owns over 29,000 shares of Tenet Health a company that made a vast amount of money from Pfizer's vaccine and lined the SecDefs' pockets along the way. Because of the unlawful manner in which the service branches applied the Secretary of Defense's order Hundreds of service members have been discharged under the false pretense of disobeying an unlawful order, and thousands more have been barred from re-enlisting or continuing to serve after their contracts expire. What we are witnessing is nothing less than an outright assault on the armed forces who protect America's Constitution and subsequently her freedoms. Sources told us that DOD tried very hard to conceal this information and prevent it from getting out
47:00 The release of this information implicates numerous officials at the highest levels of the Pentagon in numerous crimes. The expulsion of those service members who refuse the vaccine, along with the thousands who were injured or killed because of it will have disastrous effects on United States national security in the immediate and long term future. Guy was pretty boring with his read, but the information was definitely good. Oh yeah he thought he was dramatic this is a problem we have with a lot of these guys. Oh the Brideon guy for sure! So we have... America is under attack! Our sovereignty our freedom! It's true too by the way it's true it's just that over dramatization is kind of tiring well
CHAPTER 19 / 65Discussion
Kurt Andersen, Anderson Cooper, and Human Sacrifice Comparison
Author Kurt Andersen appears on CNN with Anderson Cooper and compares the current societal response to COVID-19 to mass human sacrifices in ancient empires. He argues that elites in complex societies use such crises to reinforce non-egalitarian political power. The hosts note the irony of these statements being broadcast on a network that has supported the measures Andersen critiques.
48:39 I have two more, three more things one of which is a clip which i'll just play it was nice to see Anderson Cooper he doesn't even say anything in this clip but his brain short-wired when he brought on this guest Kurt Anderson who has written a book about yeah about this period. I forget the name of the book But if you listen to him, he's basically saying how messed up this is the very scenario that Anderson Cooper and CNN support. There wasn't much difference between the rate at which Republicans and Democrats and independents died there just wasn't but now in the last year and just starting as soon as there were vaccines available uh there were and it really it strikes me that this is like
49:21 is so much like the mass human sacrifices in societies in the past, which took place in large complex empires. Not unlike ours it wasn't primitive what we would then call primitive tribes they were big complex societies and that's what we're seeing here and by the way was done by those societies and by the elites of those societies in order to reinforce their political power and often they're non-egalitarian societies which again strikes me as very comparable to what's going on here now. Yes, the elites are killing people! On purpose just like the Romans? What they do...
CHAPTER 20 / 65Discussion
Historical Analogs, 1919 Pandemic Aftermath, and Molasses Flood
A producer provides a historical comparison between 1919 and 2022, noting that both followed major pandemics. The segment details the Great Molasses Flood in Boston, which killed 21 people, and the ratification of the 18th Amendment (Prohibition). The hosts discuss whether modern society is facing a similar period of "stupid" prohibitions and social upheaval.
50:03 So we were talking, we've been talking about 1919 and it's based upon your initial analysis which is starting to look pretty damn correct of the duration of this COVID-19 to last around the same amount of time as the 1918-1919 pandemic. The Spanish flu We've been looking at what happened right after that occurrence in 1919 and we know that the Chicago race riots, which were some of the worst ever in history kicked off in 1990. Now wouldn't you know it? That one of our producers Todd is a teacher
50:43 He says, I recently taught my high school US history students about the no good very bad horrible year that was 1919. I made the following case to my students that 1919 may have been even worse than 2020. Even sent me his slide deck that he used in class but i will give you the highlights so this is if we have a complete repeat here's some of the things that happened in 1919 And we should mention that 1919 would be the equivalent of 2022. Correct! A molasses tidal wave killed 21 and destroyed much of North Boston I've heard, yes...I knew this! I was reading about the molasses tidal wave it was hilarious not funny to anyone drowning in molasses because that's the worst way to go Well its tasty but still that's a ooof! and what happened?
51:39 I forget, I don't remember. It didn't just come out of the ocean! No there was a... molasses was a big product and there was some factory that had these giant barrels massive like oil refinery sized barrels of molasses and i guess a couple of them ruptured or something? And if a wave of molasses overtook the whole area of the town then people drowned That is worth the movie of the week at least that's it that would be great movie Alright, next on the list. The 18th Amendment was ratified this is the Prohibition Amendment could we see something similar? Ooh prohibition that wasn't any analogs I'd have to think about it well that was prohibition of alcohol of course at the time yeah but a prohibition of anything that's stupid would would apply
CHAPTER 21 / 65Discussion
Red Summer, Labor Strikes, and Anti-Work Movement
The year 1919 saw the "Red Summer" of race riots and massive labor strikes involving 4 million workers, including steelworkers and coal miners. The hosts draw parallels to the modern "anti-work" movement and current labor strife. They note that the general strikes of that era led to the creation of laws specifically banning such coordinated labor actions in the U.S.
52:28 Now we have to remember when the prohibition era took place, Americans were drinking like... Fish. The amount of drinking that went on was beyond compared. We don't even have a clue what it was like because the average citizen was drinking two bottles of vodka a day kind of thing. Well wasn't that in the same time in Britain people had gin carts on the street and they'd just be out there hammered all day on gin? Yeah, there was an alcohol problem yeah I'm thinking you know we could bring that back anyway 1919 was the Red Summer. This is the Chicago race riot. It was, Chicago was the largest of 26 across the country We had post-war inflation and high employment I guess High employment Oh! The returning soldiers caused all kinds of labor strife strikes and violence An estimated 4 million American workers went on strike
53:26 So we might see, we're kind of seeing the anti-work movement. We are seeing strikes right now and also seeing the anti work movement And the anti work movement that fits right in that's good. We should make a little chart Well, I'm gonna read this to you. It's an equivalency chart! Yeah? Oh yes that's good okay someone is taking notes and will do it for us we have producers the entire city of Seattle went on strike for three days the entire Boston Police Department went on strike and Massachusetts Governor Calvin Coolidge backed the firing of all of them 300,000 steelworkers. I should mention that this was the...I believe that these strikes which were taking place are general strikes they're called? Yes That's..I think it was this period that produced the laws literal laws against general strikes a lot of people don't realize it you can't do it legally call for a general strike in this country because its illegal. Correct, correct It is illegal to do that yeah we're no commies that's why
CHAPTER 22 / 65Discussion
Red Scare, Palmer Raids, and Seditious Conspiracy
The discussion covers the 1919 Red Scare, where Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer and J. Edgar Hoover conducted raids and deported thousands of suspected Bolsheviks. The hosts compare these events to the treatment of January 6 defendants and the use of "seditious conspiracy" charges. They also note the founding of the ACLU in 1920 as a response to these civil liberty violations.
54:26 300,000 steel workers went on strike. 400,000 coal miners went on strike this could all happen I see this repeating easily then we had the Red Scare anarchists were mailing...anarchist domestic extremists were mailing bombs all over the country one anarchist blew himself up in front of Attorney General A Mitchell Palmer's house The Roosevelt's lived across the street. Of course, the blame was placed on immigrants and Bolsheviks! The Red Scare... so it was a false flag and blamed on the Reds. It wasn't a false flag these guys are actually bombing places No but they they they blamed it on someone else. See right? What who is doing it what the anarchists were the Bolsheviks yeah okay commies
55:18 Palmer instructed J. Edgar Hoover to investigate the red problem which led to the Palmer raids where thousands were rounded up across the country, many without warrants or being charged." January 6th anybody? Hey! January 6th, 1-6 they got a bunch of guys rounded up without being charged The guy who did...the most interesting story which isn't really discussed much and I don't have a clip is the guy who does what did the walk away movement for you know quick the Democratic Party Yeah yeah He got railroaded by the FBI. He was filming during the thing, he had nothing to do with anything and they threw him in a slammer! And now he's out floating around trying to get on some talk shows barely can do it It's just that it's a travesty of justice We even loaded 3,000 insurrectionists or Bolsheviks or activists or whatever onto a boat without due process and shipped them to join their Bolshevik friends in Russia
56:19 Wow, that's badass. I didn't know he did that! That's pretty funny. No, no...that's not happening The ACLU was founded in 1920 to protest the unconstitutional violation of civil liberties Well the ACLU is now a piece of crap so yeah Good run! You had a good run guys, good run Many legal civil liberty violations continue to occur under the authority of the Espionage and Sedition Acts being used right now, passed during World War I. People are being held on seditious conspiracy which i don't even know that's a thing The White Sox in 1990 they worked with...in 1919 sorry Worked with the gangsters to throw the World Series to the Black Sox No they were considered the black socks Oh see? I don't know what I'm talking about Who did they play against
CHAPTER 23 / 65Discussion
Black Sox Scandal, Brian Flores, and Voting Rights
The 1919 World Series "Black Sox" gambling scandal is compared to modern allegations by coach Brian Flores that the Miami Dolphins owner offered incentives to throw games. The segment also touches on the ratification of the 19th Amendment for women's suffrage, contrasting it with current debates over federal voting rights legislation.
57:20 I don't know who it was against, but the White Sox scandal which resulted in a number of like Barefoot Johnson or whatever his name is one of the most famous baseball players at all time they threw the games and Then they were nicknamed the Black Sox. Oh, I see okay and because it but they got busted down on how this happened But it was a notorious situation. So we can just say the analog is rigged sports, something you talk about often? Well the analog today... not as you bring it up The analog today is that this guy Flores one of the coaches at Miami Dolphins and then an old coach from the Cleveland Browns say that their coaches told them to throw games! Today! This week in Sports News
58:10 In 1919, America also ratified the 19th amendment securing women's right to vote. Well there you go! Voting rights bill hotly contested right now. Yeah that's not to get women to vote that's to ensure that the Democrats will be the only people you can elect This is true All of this was happening our producer continues As all of this was happening, President Woodrow Wilson was either in Paris for the 1919 Peace Conference or failing to convince the Senate to ratify the Treaty of Versailles because it included his League Of Nations idea. Now, of course, The United Nations
CHAPTER 24 / 65Discussion
Woodrow Wilson, League of Nations, and Presidential Incapacity
President Woodrow Wilson's secret incapacity following a stroke in 1919 is compared to modern concerns regarding Joe Biden's health. The hosts discuss how Wilson's wife effectively ran the executive branch, drawing a parallel to Jill Biden. They also note Warren G. Harding's 1920 "return to normalcy" campaign as a precursor to Biden's 2020 platform.
58:51 Wilson suffered a stroke while campaigning for the treaty. Hello Joe Biden! The stroke left him... I should mention just to straighten out the history of it, but the League of Nations never became the United Nations? Correct It failed That was the initial idea And it was an initial kind of idea if it was at San Francisco and failed we never joined it but it was still going on and all things flopped then Hitler came along that was the end of it The United Nations was the World War II. Yes, correct do the same thing and it still stinks so I don't know but now but now listen to this so our president at the time Woodrow Wilson suffered a stroke while campaigning for the treaty it left him incapacitated until the end of his term which was covered up from the public could it be any more analog
59:44 And in fact, Woodrow Wilson's problem which everyone knew about but the media wouldn't report it to the public is that and the media again is not reporting anything to the public that it should. It was the reason for the 25th Amendment. Yes of course! Wasn't his wife running this show for a while? His wife was running just like Jill Biden This is history, baby! She's a pleasant woman Jill Biden. It is very pleasant. Todd continues... Well Todd seems like we're right in the middle of it with a lot of things matching up
1:00:23 No wonder Republican Warren G Harding won the 1920 presidential election on a campaign pledge of quote, A return to normalcy. That's what Biden ran on so that we're kind of askew there. A campaign he ran from his front porch in Marion Ohio So that's a year late. Yes again Biden in the basement. But you know it was the year after I was the 2022 election So I thought this was fascinating. It really, it really hit home. You'll send me the deck? Yes of course I will and then one other producer note very important...I received as you can imagine a lot of emails about graphene, graphene oxide, all kinds of graphene related stuff
CHAPTER 25 / 65Discussion
Graphene Oxide, Vaccine Debris, and Electron Microscopy Debunking
A university research director provides a debunking of the "graphene oxide in vaccines" theory. The researcher explains that the graphene oxide seen in viral lab reports actually came from the grids used in transmission electron microscopy, not the vaccine samples themselves. The hosts accept this explanation while maintaining that vaccines may still contain other manufacturing debris.
1:01:15 in the vaccines as we had that child. Somebody sent me a bunch of this stuff too and you also did a great report on the show but I see it as the classic, you know we're not liable for anything let's just put... Let's just have our manufacturing fall apart and chips and whatever goes into wood chips. Who cares what's packed into this vaccine? I think is just debris. Debris, debris, debris because none of its consistent is all looks a little different It just seems like junk in the vaccine. I do have one last clip Well can I read the note before
1:01:54 Let me just buy it yeah because it's important. No, I think you'll like it no don't do that okay so first of all Graphene, graphene oxide there's a lot of interesting stuff going on with it and it definitely is being experimented on in medical uses for release of nano stuff and there's all kinds of things going on that looks very real and official. However I feel that from this one producer... And remember we were looking at The fifth column, it's a Spanish outfit. They did have labs they had a lab report of this graphene or graphene oxide that was in the vaccine samples that they tried Here is what our producer said and I think this is correct at least regarding this case. Graphene may be plastic son maybe graphene? I don't know
1:02:49 Actually, I met this producer in Louisville and Colorado a while back. Regarding the whole graphene oxide vaccine theory, I happen to have some insight into this as I am a core facility research director at a university and have external agreements with a few pharma companies. My research lab happens to be an electron microscope... microscopy lab. Microscopy? Microscopy? They had got electron microscopes! in the biochemistry department which images proteins, virus and other biological specimens to determine 2D and 3D structures. I have looked over the paper and John is right! It's nonsense it's actually almost hilarious how obvious it is to debunk the entire paper as the substrate used to apply the sample and image in a transmission electron microscope was made of... wait for it
1:03:45 graphene oxide. They misinterpreted where the graphene oxide is coming from it's not in the vaccine but on the grid that the sample was stained on to fairly common practice use graphene oxide grids we even make them here at the University now that I'm going to believe. I like it! I think that's a great debunking That's why we have great producers We do Now, I have one last COVID clip which I was jumping too and I'm glad you stopped me Um, and I only have the beginning of it. And I'll explain the rest of it because I don't want to play... It was like a 10 minute thing. COVID and white-tailed deer
CHAPTER 26 / 65Discussion
White-Tailed Deer, Coronavirus Reservoir, and Silent Outbreaks
Scientists discover a "silent outbreak" of coronavirus among white-tailed deer in North America, with high rates of infection but no symptoms. The hosts discuss the implications of deer acting as a viral reservoir and the potential for new variants to jump back to humans. They joke about the likelihood of people "kissing deer" and the impact on the venison industry.
1:04:28 Scientists have recently discovered what they are calling a silent outbreak of coronavirus among white-tailed deer. William Brangham is back now with this report about how one of the most ubiquitous species in North America got COVID and what that means for the future of the pandemic, and a warning viewers may find some of the images in this report distressing They're an elegant sight dancing through the trees. There are an estimated 25 million white-tailed deer in the U.S., and now scientists have learned some have shockingly high rates of COVID infections. The level of infectivity we found in these animals was truly stunning. Gobsmacked is the word I used. That's the technical term for it? That's a technical term, gobsmacked. It was quite striking. Gobsmacked!
1:05:21 Yes, I've heard this. I've heard this report so it turns out at this point in time the deer somehow picked up and they think they got it from a food scrap or something one dear God they all got it yeah every day almost every dear that they study at this point has got COVID an there are no symptoms the deers aren't dropping like flies I can confirm I have hundreds of white tailed right tail deer around here And they're not dropping like flies and they don't think, but they can't be sure. But they don't think it's going to go crazy in the deer population and come out at the other end and reinfect a human population with a bad variant. Like a bat? Yeah like a bat would do if you eat the deer
1:06:11 If you eat the deer or you be around them, kiss the deer like someone who might do some animal lover. They kiss animals I don't know if you've ever seen this? I have. I have seen it happen yes People kiss dogs they kiss cats they kiss everything and uh...I don't know why But I just thought this was an interesting report because this thing now it's a reservoir. Whether you eat them, I think...I don't know what to make of the whole thing that they never concluded much at the end except the fact that all these deer had passed it on to each other. Well, I had heard this report and I didn't know what to make of it. Oh my god! Yeah there's tons of white-tailed dove around here they look pretty happy. Deer? Yeah
CHAPTER 27 / 65Discussion
Deer Overpopulation, Duck Behavior, and Mimi's Feminist Ducks
The conversation shifts to personal anecdotes about deer and duck behavior. One host describes the aggressive mating habits of bucks and ducks, leading to a story about "Mimi" in Port Angeles who got rid of her ducks because she could not tolerate the "rapist" behavior of the males. The segment concludes with a discussion on the culinary uses of duck and goose.
1:06:55 I look pretty happy. You know, they're not getting shot around here so... Well you know they did have a little factoid thing they posted white tail deer worldwide went down to a population of 330 000 at one point because they were being but there i'll tell you this i've had it i've had these dear they're delicious it's one of the finest venisons you can eat yeah it has great flavor it's just a fabulous product and so they were killing them all by shooting them and eating them. So they put the kibosh on that, they quickly jacked up their population to
1:07:31 Total worldwide only 50 million. It takes a day or two the crazy We watch back to eat them we watched with great glee as the Bucks were just corralling these poor Poor does and just gang raping him oh yeah, they're rapists Same way and you know and Phoebe was out in the back like her and and you get those bucks like With the hoof in the like, I'm gonna charge you. Oh yeah they're crazy. They're crazy. Yeah yeah I'm gonna get a running start here on ya. We used to have ducks up in Port Angeles and Mimi finally got sick of these ducks, Mimi mainly because the male ducks are rapists just worse than deer. And Mimi the ever feminist could not stand for this anymore! I am not putting up with this
1:08:22 These rapists, what did she do? Did she poison him?" No, she just let it... She just got rid of them. I don't know what the ducks were- We ate- we didn't eat them. She won't eat him either by the way That's another thing You get a duck flock of ducks or some geese even Or chickens? No Not nobody is eating these animals. I don't know why I love little duck confit It does it for me Duck is tasty and goose is good but goose eggs are... I'm off to track now Wait wait wait! Stop me please Wait wait I have a jingle for that Hold on a second. This was great, I think it was Fletcher who sent this. I gotta get this one lined up for quick access. We're going off the rails!
CHAPTER 28 / 65Discussion
Goose Eggs, French Custard, and Joe Rogan Bow Hunting
The hosts discuss the richness of goose eggs and their use in traditional French custards. The conversation transitions back to Joe Rogan, specifically his views on hunting white-tailed deer with a bow and arrow to avoid alerting the rest of the herd. They debate the merits of compound bows versus traditional hunting methods.
1:09:11 Goose eggs are the world's greatest egg, if you like eggs. I love... well, no. They don't- they're not like... duck eggs are no good for anything but baking because they kind of get a funny texture. Goose eggs have it... Duck eggs you want to keep for a bit until they're a little rotten that's when the duck egg is useful Yeah throw it somewhere. Yes exactly! Especially in a demographic... John what happened to No Agenda bro? That's just crazy. Is that an agenda issue? It's a douchebag issue. Now, the goose egg is... Anyone get goose eggs? That's the egg you want to eat. They're terrific! They're almost there about 75% yolk and they taste like a very rich, rich chicken egg and if you want to use them for pay this is what the French use in that with they can for some of those cut. You go to France and he had custard it's nothing like it over here.
1:10:06 That's because they're using these goose and duck eggs to make these custards. Oh, you can't yeah that'll be very different than a chicken egg very different Well I did us talk to Joe Rogan about them off time back on rails Yeah, I did talk to Joe Rogan about the white-tailed deer around the house. I said Are those no good? They're just in my backyard. I said, actually he said, I don't understand what the big deal is with deer hunting so i can just close my eyes almost and you pump off a couple rounds that got me some food. He said why are they doing it? Oh no no these deer figured it out they're actually the tastiest but they go because they know they're not going to get whacked So he says the best way to do it is with a bow and arrow so the other ones don't catch on
1:10:50 Yeah, I knew a couple guys who were bow hunters. They used compound bow and they claim that's the only way to go. Alright, I've learned some information about some of the banking issues... Before you go to learn, do you want at least catch this up? I have a catch-up clip for Rogan since you mentioned it. Oh well if you can do Rogan then then i have stuff about Rogan So we want to do Rogan? Let's do Rogan. Well I'm gonna start, I only have one Rogan clip it's a catch-up clip okay It's from NPR. It's trying to keep us up-to-date. Neil Young's former bandmates are standing behind him after he asked his record company to remove his music from Spotify They're protesting being on the same platform as a controversial podcast hosted by Joe Rogan. NPR's Mandelita Baco reports In solidarity with Neil Young, David Crosby Stephen Stills and Graham Nash say they support pulling their recordings from Spotify Each are asking their solo work be removed too
CHAPTER 29 / 65Discussion
Spotify Controversy, Neil Young, and Pirated No Agenda Feeds
Neil Young and other musicians pull their music from Spotify in protest of Joe Rogan's podcast. The hosts address reports that "No Agenda" was removed from Spotify, clarifying that they were never officially on the platform and any existing feed was a pirated version containing unauthorized ads. They emphasize their use of the "blocked" tag in the Podcast 2.0 specification.
1:11:49 This week, Young said he refused to have his music on the same audio streaming service as Joe Rogan who he said was spreading false information about COVID-19 vaccines. In a statement, Young's former bandmates agreed quote while we always value alternate points of view they wrote knowingly spreading disinformation during this global pandemic has deadly consequences Similarly, singers India Arie and Joni Mitchell have also asked Spotify to remove their music. Meanwhile, Spotify's CEO said the platform will be posting content advisories before any podcast discussing COVID-19 Yeah and very interesting I got a number of emails and tweets yesterday and today of people saying hey man your podcast has been taken down off of Spotify
1:12:39 To which I say, we're not on Spotify? And people say yes you were and i said oh really yeah well that was a pirated feed. That was pirated and Sir Chris Jacobs says he heard ads in it so if you were listening to no agenda on spotify and you heard ads that was someone stealing. Stealing! Spotify stealing It was a poster, there's still one show on which is on it. I don't know why they're not up there but they had and it wasn't even posted by us or them as some third party
1:13:21 And it's just sitting there. It's the one with the balloons on the cover. Well, this apparently was being updated so I guess... No this was a while ago! This can't be going on now. Yesterday? I got these notes yesterday Yeah i know but that doesn't mean that they heard them yesterday because when I was talking to or going back and forth with Spotify woman They took everything down right after that and this is recently if you could have maybe heard it couple weeks ago month ago Okay Well, what's interesting is that in our feed we actually have a 2.0... according to the 2.0 podcast specification which is a real thing A blocked tag which means no one should import it without contacting the feed owner directly But you know do they adhere to that? No of course not
CHAPTER 30 / 65Discussion
Brian Stelter, CNN Panic, and The Larry King Model
CNN's Brian Stelter expresses concern that Joe Rogan is trusted more than traditional newsrooms. The hosts mock Stelter's "panic mode" and argue that Rogan is simply following the old Larry King model of long-form interviews. They criticize CNN's claim of superior fact-checking, noting the network's declining viewership compared to Rogan's massive audience.
1:14:05 Anyway, if you're hearing it let us know because that's theft. And that by the way is how Rogan got the big bucks I remember him saying yeah Spotify says can we put your show on Spotify and Rogan said no I don't see why were you just gonna make money off me? No until they paid them big bucks! I'm not expecting that but why should we be any different? No buzz off then they have total control and ownership of your content now screw up anyway So this is creating large panic everywhere. We can't believe he's not off the air, but we don't really want him off the air because I don't wanna make problems about Spotify and of course Neil Young really just hates Spotify everyone hates Spotify in the music business because they're getting ripped off by Spotify and statutory payments for streaming so that's all convoluted but i thought Brian Seltzer-Water on CNN... He's in panic mode! The narrative is..I wanna show all kinds of opinions
1:15:00 Which sounds great, but not all opinions are created equal. You think about major newsrooms like CNN that have health departments and desks and operations that work hard on verifying information on COVID-19 And then you have talk show stars like Joe Rogan who just wing it Who make it up as they go along? And because figures like Rogan are trusted by people that don't trust real newsrooms We've attention a problem That's much bigger than Spotify much bigger than any single platform Kate But that's what the heart of this right now Yeah, but you're right It is getting at something bigger isn't going to be solved in one Joe Rogan video or one statement from Spotify, that's for sure. It is good to see you Brian thank you so much!
1:15:43 their of their rinky-dink news. In reality there's no doubt about it he's got a lot for sure nobody watches stelter well no but my point is they're all saying, well this guy just an unprepared douchebag how can you have 11 million people watching? It's brain frying them they don't like we have newsrooms and we have infrastructure. They haven't understanding a clue they used to have Larry King on CNN And he would do interviews of people, someone controversial. Yes! And and he would just ask them questions and they were yak-yak-yak? Yep Do they understand that model at all? No no it's a podcast it's not an official CNN broadcast please... And that little spiel of his about we do fact checking blah blah blah We do this so we make sure we only get accurate information I see no evidence of this So..and by the way since we're on it
CHAPTER 31 / 65Discussion
Abigail Shrier, Big Pharma, and The Discrediting of Rogan
The hosts trace the mainstream media's coordinated attack on Joe Rogan back to his interview with Abigail Shrier and his subsequent skepticism of pharmaceutical products. They argue that "sleeper cells" in the media were activated once Rogan began threatening the $60 million annual revenue of big pharma companies. The "horse dewormer" narrative is cited as a primary example of this discrediting campaign.
1:16:37 I do have the clip about, you know, Zucker's out. Wait! You're going too fast. I gotta stay with Rogan then you can come to Zucker. I'm on my way. Go on. Here is what is... I had kind of a new epiphany although not new for the show as to what's really going on here First of all, like I already said, the musicians they are just pissed off at Spotify in general everyone else has virtue signaling however if you look the pushback on Spotify and Rogan. It started with him bringing on, well it started earlier he was always like well he called some trans woman a dude you know it would always be kind of like an offhanded joke from the M5M from the news shows like oh your podcaster Joe Rogan yeah misogynist
1:17:25 Then he brought on Abigail Schreier, who wrote a book. I always thought that was the beginning of it. That's the true beginning of the woke pushback which resulted in you know The Walkout at Spotify and it was still... And I will interrupt again and say in fact Rogan should have been praised by everyone in the media for doing what nobody else would do by letting her talk. Exactly, even Adam Carolla wouldn't let her on the podcast because he's a pussy So, and I thought that was great. It was brave. He did it so he had Abigail Schreier on That's when the woke stuff started to happen but it still wasn't a full-time mainstream news story No this happened and The NO Agenda Show knows how this works
1:18:13 The minute Joe Rogan with his audience 10 times bigger than the M5M started to maybe convince people not to consume the big pharmaceutical products, That's when all of a sudden their stooges in the media are activated and go after him. That's what's happening here. Sleeper cells were alerted! 60 billion dollars a year for some of these companies, yeah they will do anything they can to stop Joe Rogan and that is in my mind the true problem because none of it blew up like...
CHAPTER 32 / 65Discussion
Jen Psaki, Spotify Censorship, and The Halo Team
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki encourages Spotify to take further steps against "misinformation" beyond simple advisory labels. The hosts identify Dr. Katherine Wallace, one of the original signers of the anti-Rogan letter, as a member of the "Halo Team" paid by the UN and Pfizer. They frame the government's pressure on Spotify as a move toward state-sponsored censorship.
1:18:51 And it makes nothing but sense. You'd do the same thing if you were a big pharma CEO, and you go, you don't want to put up with this bull crap? Exactly! You have a message that messages... you're paying big bucks now to get this message out Now look back what was the first thing that CNN did? Oh Joe Rogan horse dewormer paste eating. That is because the mainstream media is paid to discredit anything that pharma is not selling, it's obvious! That's what happened now something beautiful happened because Jen Psaki was asked about this by some incredible woke reporter in the press booth there and she gave us something... She gave my clip
1:19:41 Well, this can be both our clip. No I mean just go on and play the clip Last week the Surgeon General also was asked on MSNBC about Joe Rogan's vaccine comments on Spotify and he said that tech companies have an important role to play in stopping misinformation because they are the predominant places where misinformation spreads. Spotify is putting out advisory warnings on episodes that have to do with COVID-19. Does the White House and the administration think this is a satisfactory step? Or do you, uh, do you think that companies like Spotify should go further than just putting a label on there to say, Hey, go do your own check this out. You know, there's more research you can look at scientific
1:20:22 Sure. Well, last July you probably know but the Surgeon General also took the unprecedented step to issue an advisor on the risk of misinformation in public health which is a very significant step and amid that he talked about the role social media platforms have. So our hope is that all major tech platforms and all major news sources for that matter be responsible and be vigilant to ensure the American people have access to accurate information on something as significant as COVID-19, that certainly includes Spotify. The threat she provides in this, which is what I was going to do in my setup. Is pretty evil.
1:21:23 right? You're 16 times more likely to be hospitalized if you're unvaccinated and 68 times more likely to die than someone who is boosted if you're unvaccinated. That's pretty significant, and we think that is something that unquestionably should be the basis of how people are communicating about it but ultimately our view is a good step, it's a positive step but there's more that can be done. It's a positive step! Yes censorship is a positive step Here's the one that sealed the deal for me. Everyone keeps repeating this regurgitating, 270 doctors later joined by thousands. There are all these people saying it! Hey do you know who one of the original signers was? The original 270 signers of this document hosted on a Wordpress blog Dr. Catherine Wallace. Dr. Katz right? Yes! Dr. Katz from TikTok
CHAPTER 33 / 65Discussion
The Economist, Content Controls, and Podbean
The Economist describes the current state of online audio as a "wild west" lacking necessary content controls. The hosts mock the call for increased regulation and censorship within the podcasting industry. They jokingly call on hosting platforms like Podbean to start cutting off creators to satisfy the demands of mainstream critics.
1:22:21 She's a pure member of the Halo team, paid for by United Nations and Pfizer to market the vaccines. For all those people who signed it we need what do you call that? A disclosure of conflict Don't doctors do all this? Well, when we went over I had that list in front of me. I don't remember it being Dr. Kat though! That tripped me out. I remember you went through the list a bunch of boneheads and podcasters... Podcasters?! Four podcasters? A bunch of students? Oh shitloads of students! What does somebody signing? I'm signing! I'm in! Yeah well this is uh ultimately this all just comes back to podcasting is bad now The Economist
1:23:09 Oh, the wild west of online audio. Streamers look increasingly like social media but without the content controls! Yeah we need content controoools! Come on Podbean get to work and cut these people off And with that I'd like to thank you for your courage saying good morning to you The man who put the C in the colossal molasses title wave Ladies and gentlemen Mr John C. Dvorak Well hold on a second Are we okay there? Okay, wow To the trolls who are hanging out there in the troll we had a record
CHAPTER 34 / 65Discussion
Troll Room, Fediverse, and No Agenda Social
The hosts provide an update on the "Troll Room" and the show's presence on the Fediverse via No Agenda Social. They encourage listeners to move away from Twitter and join their Mastodon-based server, which they claim is more effective and resistant to censorship. Technical details about the 24-hour No Agenda stream are also shared.
1:24:01 A record number of trolls hanging out on the last show. Let's just get right to it. Alright, trolls hands up! Let me see this scurrying around as little nasty ass trolls... What did we get? How come I didn't get a troll count what happened? You say this every time. I know sometimes it just doesn't work here it is 24 17 It's mediocre. Mediocre! Maybe some trolls are at work, it's possible but if you want to join this merry band of stinky bridge dwellers then go to trollroom.io where you can listen to the No Agenda Show in real time live on the stream. It's noagendastream.com which is on 24 hours a day which is great

Or follow us on our Mastodon server, proud member of the Fediverse Adam at noagendasocial.com or John C Dvorak at noagendasocial.com very lively these days lots of lots of Fediverse leaking over and it looks very good It's so much more effective than Twitter, and you can follow us from anywhere You can even set up your own server And let us know if you do if there's someone where people can join into the Fediverse A big in the morning to The Capitalist's Agenda and an assist from Tantaniel for the artwork for episode 1421. We titled that, the Chuckle Tell This now is also available on a t-shirt from noagendashop.com That's how fast and how loved this image was And how fast it has gone into production This was the Nord Stream Caviar Not certified tin we had lots of debate over
CHAPTER 35 / 65Discussion
Episode Artwork, Nord Stream Caviar, and Hidden Symbols
The hosts deconstruct the artwork for episode 1421, titled "Nord Stream Caviar," created by The Capitalist's Agenda and Tantaniel. They discuss the specific red and blue colors of Soviet-era caviar tins and a hidden "Q" symbol found in the fish's tail. The segment highlights the importance of using modern podcast apps to view chapter-specific artwork.
1:25:45 the color of the tin in more ways than one. The first being that this is not an official caviar color of the tin, the red I believe is the official color we both have purchased... The one you used to see in the Soviet Union? Yes! Both of us has purchased this product in the Soviet Union and the other one was there when this was kind of funny because I guess Capitalist Agenda uploaded these two and then Tantanil went hey hey your colors are not right Yeah, she's a stickler. And she corrected them and what's cool is John says yeah they're much better I however am the guy who cannot see the numbers in the colored dots? You're colorblind. They are identical to me No they're not. I believe you Especially the red that was way off It was a good job of... The blue was less of an issue but it was fixed Good work on the color correction
1:26:46 But it's a great little piece of art. We looked at the other stuff and there was, you know... I used, curiously just as a coincidence, I used Tantanil's Happy New Year image because it was Chinese New Year yesterday. Oh that's right! And I used that in the newsletter How do they get to choose those dates? Do they get to choose the two-two-two dates and say oh well that's a cool date we'll make that Chinese new year No. Is it always on February 2nd? It's a week of celebrations and the official day is one of those days, and I think it was yesterday could be wrong. Okay just a coincidence but that kid is the year of the tiger and I figured there was a good time to use that piece art
1:27:35 The other stuff, there was a lot of stuff that was kind of interesting but it wasn't anything so compelling that the Caviar didn't beat it. No there were a couple...a lot of truckers' stuff which just didn't quite do it I did like, I have to say, Kenny Ben's Pipeline Yeah Did we not see that one at the time? Caviar, I think we did but it wasn't as good as the lid What and by the way on the t-shirt for some reason they've just kept the logo and removed the tin It feels like it doesn't work. The same I mean, they remove the tin Well if you look at the T should know agenda shop calm haven't seen okay They took that they took the logo from the artwork Everything's the same except there's no background of the tin just the blue You don't see the tin or the caviar around it Oh kind of see kind of so you don't see it's a tin. It looks more like a logo now
1:28:36 Oh, just fish. Yeah yeah just my by the way how cool is that if you really look at this artwork and if you're using a modern podcast app newpodcastapps.com You'll see this image right now on your screen in your podcast app Do you see the subtleness of this image? You don't Look in the middle and end the tail What letter do you see The middle and the tail? Look at the round circle, Curry Dvorak. And the right hand side of the tail what letter do you see I see...I don't see a letter. I see a Q Oh! I see a Q. I can see the Q. I think it might have been on purpose Maybe maybe not Thought it was because that stuff just happened That little swirl of the tail no I thought that was pretty genius It's well done
1:29:31 Yeah, I think you're talking about the dorsal fin and bottom tail. Yes, correct, correct, correct. Eh, had something cool there! Anyway we really appreciate the work Capitalist Agenda with your assist from Tantaniel that's what we call colleagues man when you're helping the other guy win just because it's right that's what America is about neither of them are American I think. Well, Tantaniel could also be a Karen... Don't think so I don't think so. So right now, podcasting is under more attack than ever! So if you want to make sure that your No Agenda Show experience is never interrupted on some app that you're using just get a new one from NewPodcastApps.com it's got a whole bunch of new features and one of the features I should mention within under 60 seconds of me publishing our show It shows up in the New Podcast Apps thanks to Podping another podcasting 2.0 invention
CHAPTER 36 / 65Discussion
Executive Producer Donations, Houston Meetup, and Big Thinkers
The show acknowledges high-tier donations from Sir Sorted Out, Team Jennifer, and Chris Keller. A discussion ensues about the "Big Thinkers" show on TechTV, which John C. Dvorak hosted as a spin-off of "Silicon Spin." Dvorak recalls his lack of enthusiasm for the program despite interviewing many interesting figures in the tech industry.

CHAPTER 37 / 65Discussion
Baron No, Learn to Code, and Dutch Producers
A producer from the Netherlands requests a title change to "Baron No" and shares a story about his daughter redirecting her career away from an "uber-woke" London university. This triggers a discussion on the "learn to code" trope, with the hosts arguing that not everyone is suited for programming and that the push for everyone to code is unrealistic.
1:35:01 I was briefly tempted to change my nightly title Sir Lather of Indecision to Baronet Nyett. Oh, that's cute! I like it! Baronet Nyat. But decided to wait instead until the next donation to request your approval to change title to Baron No! Baron No! I think Baron Nyet is pretty good actually, but if you want to be Baron No... Baron Nyet is good! Oh it would be Baronette Nyet? But Baron No. Okay, but Baron No. Yes yeah yeah gotcha. Please add to the birthday calendar my youngest human resource, Emma who celebrated her 24th at the Ford Ducks yesterday.
1:35:45 still amazed by the impact of career karma you sent out to her a year or two ago when she stood to choose, or stood to chose it says chose. A master's degree program at an uber woke London University will not mention the faculty but it was goldsmiths Luckily, she timely received karma and redirected her career to a dudette named Bernadette. Anyone can learn to code Joe! I like that the Dutch seem to write these notes in some sort of code. For jingles, I would appreciate a shape-shifting Jew no and a special jobs Carmen not that i need the latter but you never know okay and we got a special bonus for ya! I come from a family where an area was coal mine is grand anybody can go down 300 to 3000 feet in the mind sure how could learn how to program as well
1:36:51 Roll up, roll up for the magical shapeshifting juice! Step right this way. Roll all up for the shape-shifting juice! No Jobs! Jobs! Jobs! Jobs! Jobs! Jobs! Jobs! Job! Job! Job! Job! Job! Job!

These assholes make it sound as though everybody and their sister, because of I don't know why want to code which is a crap. You know lot of people like the code they love it and in fact they're born to code but
1:37:40 Not everybody wants to code. They don't want to sit on their duff coding all day some people Don't like that they like to be outside would like to be Chippin away with it with a pickaxe who knows what they want to do, but they don't not Everybody in the world wants to code Sorry no I think you're right There but it is it is a people who can code are doing pretty well and Yes, and generally speaking there are people who can code and they're usually good.

De-douching, Birthday List, and Canadian Goose Solidarity
Several listeners request "de-douching" and inclusion on the show's birthday calendar. A debate arises over whether "karma" is a pagan concept, with a listener from Lynchburg, Virginia, requesting it despite being a "good Christian." Another donor suggests repurposing the "row of ducks" jingle into "geese" to show solidarity with the Canadian truckers.
1:38:35 In the morning Adam and John, Amy my smoking hot wife of 25 years and I grew up with Adam on MTV. We are now 52 And he is the podfather who would have thunk it?

Lunar New Year, Bitcoin, and Missing PayPal Donations
The hosts celebrate the Lunar New Year (Year of the Tiger) and process various donations involving "row of ducks" and "jobs" jingles. A producer inquires about a missing $100 donation from December, leading to a discussion on the reliability of PayPal and the volume of messages the show receives.

Orlando Meetup, Mutual Win Tiny Homes, and IMDB Credits
Michael Bernstein promotes an upcoming No Agenda meetup in Orlando, Florida, for "slaves" road-tripping from Raleigh. The hosts explain the value of the "Executive Producer" title, suggesting listeners add it to their LinkedIn, Twitter, and IMDB profiles as a legitimate credit in the media deconstruction space.
1:45:29 Now, have we missed people? Yeah. So it's okay to doubt.

CHAPTER 41 / 65Discussion
Jeff Zucker Resignation, Allison Gollust, and Radar Online
Jeff Zucker resigns from CNN following the disclosure of a romantic relationship with executive Allison Gollust. Radar Online claims they had been reporting on the "open secret" for years, despite Zucker's claims that the relationship only changed recently. The hosts discuss Gollust's rapid ascent at NBC and CNN, questioning if it was based on talent or her relationship with Zucker.
1:49:02 Except I think it may kind of backfire on revenge, at least if you listen to your friend Megan discussing the whole story with the woman who wrote the original piece for Radar Online. Today's news is a long time coming. We posted this story back in January on January 4th, but we actually have been working on this story and reporting it out for years. We had photographic evidence supporting the story back last year when we spotted Jeff and Allison at a Billy Joel concert together. So we really put in the groundwork to make sure that we were 100% confident with this story. And in January, we decided that there was just too much evidence and the world really needed to know about this just because it was an open secret in the media world didn't mean that it was okay.
1:49:54 And of course, no one was interested in it because he runs CNN and they didn't want to tick off Jeff Zucker. They want to get on CNN. They want to be seen. And I know you reported in your piece, you were told too, He's a vindictive guy and you better be careful. Absolutely. And you know, one thing about Radar Online that all our readers now from over the years is that We post stories without fear or favor and we are really dedicated to pulling back the curtain and letting people know what's actually happening in media. So it didn't scare us that he is a vindictive, nasty person if anything that was extra incentive to really show the truth about what he was doing now wait who was this woman?
1:50:39 Where's the one who broke the story? Yeah, and what publication Radar online which I think is it as a spin-off of variety or Hollywood reporter. It's owned by one of the two Oh legit PR outfit She sounds like she was sent on a mission. This is, A this is no secret I agree with that Yep Well let's listen to your next clip and then In this case they talk about the woman which is kind of funny Allison Gallist Is the woman because she has released a statement now And I mean of course it's at the woman you reported about She's released a statement as follows
1:51:20 Jeff and I have been close friends and professional partners for over 20 years. Recently, our relationship changed during COVID recently," she says. "'I regret that we didn't disclose it at the right time.' I'm incredibly proud of my time at CNN and look forward to continuing the great work we do every day." She's not yet resigned nor done anything other than release this statement so far as we know. Okay, let's pick it back up with Allison Golas. First of all According to your reporting, is it true that it was only recently that their relationship changed during COVID from professional to personal? Absolutely not. And that word is just a classic piece of PR spin coming from someone who's a PR professional and she joined CNN back in 2013 and Katie Couric said in her book published last year that even at time there were questions rumbling about their relationship
1:52:13 So, like I said, everyone who knows anything about this story knows that it's been happening for a lot longer than recent months. They've known each other for over 20 years because my understanding is she was I don't know what her job was, young at CNN. I'm sorry at NBC when he was an executive there? Yes so she was actually just like a public relations advisor very young very junior like you said and she rapidly raised through the ranks at NBC joined CNN eventually became the Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer
1:52:50 So all of our sources and people inside CNN, and even Katie in her book have said that there are so many questions about the nature of her ascent at CNN. Was it really because of her talents or was it because of her close relationships? Wow! How you allowed to do this to women in today's day and age That's very surprising that you can talk, well she is a woman so she is allowed to say but basically she is a whore. Is what she saying? Yes. Damn! This goes on and that pretty much the conclusion they come too Wow Well here's what I read was you know Jeff excuse me during the Cuomo investigation Chris Cuomo
CHAPTER 42 / 65Discussion
Chris Cuomo Investigation, Kitty Fiddling, and Warner Media
The hosts suggest that the Zucker resignation is a "cover story" for deeper issues unearthed during the Chris Cuomo investigation, including allegations of "kitty fiddling" involving producers. They discuss the timing of the resignation relative to the Warner Media acquisition and predict that Zucker will walk away with a substantial golden parachute.
1:53:34 This is the cut to me. This is the cover story this is the cover story, but it was Chris Cuomo investigation Where what did we learn from the quiz cook Chris Cuomo investigation? One of his producers Kitty Fiddler one of Jake Tapper's producers kitty fiddler the boss Yeah, I should have disclosed an improper relationship. I'm sorry you have to resign come on I think he knew about the kitty-fiddling at least knew about it and And that's a morass. That's probably still not... They haven't probably really dug that hole deep enough yet, it just feels like CNN has got some... and now with this accusation? That you can screw your way to the top in media?! What! Never heard of such a thing! That's just crazy
1:54:23 Well yeah, good riddance. And that deal is on! I think it's all approved now the Warner Media acquisition. So the rats are escaping the ship... Where is he going to go? Where's this sucker gonna go? I don't think he's gonna get a job for a long time This isn't resolved fully because now it looks like he's been playing favorites with his girlfriend. So this is not going to go over with anybody, so he's not gonna get any job until this is resolved completely I'm sure he has a golden parachute and he's fine It's not like he's gonna starve to death and beg for money on the corners
CHAPTER 43 / 65Discussion
Rachel Maddow Hiatus, John Malone, and CNN Purge
Rachel Maddow announces a hiatus from MSNBC, which the hosts interpret as a permanent departure. They discuss billionaire John Malone's influence on the future of CNN, predicting a "purge" of talent including Don Lemon, Brian Stelter, and Alison Camerota. Malone is described as a "Darth Vader" figure who intends to return the network to non-partisan news.
1:55:02 But these other guests, it's going to be interesting to see. I think a Deadpool is in order here where you have... Who is going to be next? Is it gonna be Don Lemon? Is it gonna be Mika and her funny pinched face boyfriend? Who's gonna be next on the chopping block? Because these guys are going to have to get out of there. Malone mentioned it again... Hold on, hold on! Mika is MSNBC she's not CNN Oh I keep forgetting you're right But there's something going on there too because Rachel Maddow is quote Going on hiatus for a bit to do a movie Hello in show business we call that done You don't go on hiatus Yeah this is the news from this week Yes Rachel Maddow yeah think I have the story right here
1:55:50 Rachel Maddow taking a hiatus to work on the movie. She just renegotiated her contract reportedly, she's out! I don't know... Really? Well this is interesting okay well you're right Mika unfortunately yeah damn it but Don Lemon is gonna go and I don't know how Stelter is going to hang in there No! Stelter has got that, Stelter has to go He was attached to Zucker's butthole. Yeah, you're probably right and then that fat-faced blonde... Yeah, Alison Camerota she is annoying. Didn't she come from Fox initially? I don't know where she came from. You gotta remember and just point this out to people John Malone was a huge Trump supporter And he saw what happened
1:56:47 And he's, you know... and talk about a guy who carries a grudge. John Malone is like the Darth Vader of the media! He's gonna come in there and just fire everybody and they have to bail out before that happens. Camerota worked for many years at Fox News most notably as part of The Fox & Friends franchise and co-host of Fox & Friends Weekend Was she not part of the Roger Ailes? Or was she just... yeah, yeah. She covered the Me Too movement. Anyway it's not nice to call her a fat-faced blonde Did I say that? Yeah you did! You did! I just realized that was kind of uncalled for Let's look at... Well I had to describe because I don't know her name Well when i say Chucky which woman do you think I'm talking about? I think of John Gruden No, no woman. Chuckie
CHAPTER 44 / 65Discussion
Jen Psaki, Jobs Numbers, and Omicron Excuses
Jen Psaki attempts to "prepare" the public for poor jobs numbers, blaming the Omicron spike for 9 million people calling out sick during the data collection period. The hosts mock this explanation, questioning how sick leave translates directly to job losses in the official data. They view it as a desperate attempt to manage negative economic narratives.
1:57:45 Well, John Gruden. Jen Psaki of course! Hello? Oh I don't...I'm not getting that reference. The orange hair?! Chucky? Oh Chucky okay. Chuckie the terror doll Yeah okay i didn't know it had orange hair so never saw those movies So Chucky Psaki and I'm just gonna be really rude to her She knew that I've been looking at, again Wall Street the banking the reverse repos. I've been talking to the former New York banker and something happened today that Glenn Beck put out which i need to correct because he's not entirely right but that actually opened my eyes to what I think is really happening with the financial markets which I know nothing about really. I'm dumb in that regard but
1:58:32 For sure Jen Psaki sees bad stuff coming her way and I think today we have jobs numbers coming out and so she needed to prepare everybody for the shitty numbers that are coming. Because Omicron was so highly transmissible, nearly 9 million people called out sick in early January when the jobs data was being collected during that same period of time And the week the survey was taken, the week of January 12th Was at the height of the Omicron spike So we just wanted a kind of prepared people to understand how the data is taken, what they're looking at and what it is an assessment of. And as a result the month's jobs report may show job losses in large part because workers were out sick from Omicron at the point when it was peaking during the period when...the week where that data was taken. Now how do you square that with the data? Were these people...? By the way I'm gonna give you clip of the day for pulling that one out of the blue cuz I didn't hear this and I'm laughing
1:59:28 You're laughing? I know it's a stupid clip of the day but it is. That's a great catch, but it's also ridiculous! It is ridiculous that was so good about how does it work is she saying that people were sick so then they were fired I don't know what she's saying, but you're right. She's treading water or maybe and i think you could sell it by saying well payrolls obviously were lower because people were out sick and you know asshole companies don't pay people who are sick that you can do that but that would have broken another narrative i'm sure Now this was the news because there's two numbers out, floating out in the universe which need to be addressed. And the first one is this... Meanwhile the US national debt has topped 30 trillion dollars for the first time about 7 trillion of it was racked up during the pandemic So that's the national debt
CHAPTER 45 / 65Discussion
National Debt, Reverse Repos, and Glenn Beck's Analysis
The U.S. national debt surpasses $30 trillion, while Glenn Beck highlights a FOIA request showing the Federal Reserve pumped $29 trillion into global banks between 2008 and 2010. The hosts analyze the "overnight lending" system, noting that Citigroup and Morgan Stanley received trillions in cumulative loans. They debate whether this constitutes a secret bailout of the global financial system.
2:00:23 But what I've been trying to understand with these reverse repos where the Federal Reserve was lending astronomical amounts of money to banks just before the 2020 discovery of COVID SARS-CoV-2, I look back to the same events occurring in 2008-2009 with the reverse repos. This is really the overnight lending to banks because they can't really in my understanding, the banks need to park some money. They need to move this hundreds of billions or maybe more back and forth because they really aren't solvent so they need a quick loan. They'll give it right back the next day you know? So it seemed like more activity was happening in 2019 than there was 2008-2009 and even the former New York banker said well looks like one of the sisters is in trouble. Like there's a bank somewhere that is in trouble
2:01:23 And that's why they need, because the Federal Reserve is supposed to be the lender of last resort for the banks to quote-unquote bail them out. So even though this story in 2011 I looked it up in our own show notes was reported about the 29 trillion dollars that the Federal Reserve pumped into banks This story is now returning ten years later because at the time, the Federal Reserve said we don't really want to disclose everything that we're doing which is truly only about the names of the banks who they gave the money too. But some say oh 30 trillion 29 trillion it's just coincidental that it's the same as the national debt um that was known but what Glenn Beck did is now that a FOIA request has come out and shows who the banks are
2:02:14 is he blows this up to something that is completely wrong but actually exposes what's really happening. So, this is a piece that a lot of people sent me and this is from Glenn Beck two days ago. Levy Economics Institute is the one that got the FOIA and they have the findings and let give you the truth of what the Fed did. Between 2008 and 2010, the Fed bailed out the banks now they said they'd give 3.5 trillion dollars
2:02:52 Well, Citigroup. It's almost nationalizing Citigroup. Citigroup got $2.5 trillion. Morgan Stanley got 2 trillion. Merrill Lynch got 1.9 trillion Bank of America got 1.3 trillion But that's not all We gave billions to the Bank of Scotland Germany, Switzerland, the UK, France, Belgium. We gave $3.7 trillion to Japan! 1.4 trillion to the UK, 1.3 trillion to Germany We bailed the world out To the tune You wanna know why they needed 10 years? To the tune of 29 trillion dollars They digitized 29 trillion dollars and didn't tell you a damn thing about it
CHAPTER 46 / 65Discussion
Fractional Banking, Insolvent Banks, and Trillion Dollar Loans
The hosts discuss the mechanics of the Federal Reserve as the "lender of last resort," arguing that the banking system is currently being kept afloat by $1 trillion in weekly loans. They critique Glenn Beck's "double counting" of overnight loans but agree that the system is on the brink of collapse. The segment highlights the ongoing balance sheet problems of major financial institutions.
2:03:56 So this is what the banker told me a couple months ago. He said, I don't know what these people are writing that you're seeing but they're double counting everything. But the example, the Federal Reserve is very open about this and that's kind of the funny thing. I think Beck is missing this entirely most people are missing it The way these loans work as their overnight loans so and there's a you know very slight percentage but over trillions of dollars It's a lot of money So these banks are insolvent they need money to continue to operate so they do a quick overnight loan everything's okay? I'm simplifying this like all heck
2:04:32 But they pay it back. Every single one of those numbers was paid back. Forget the funny money of how fractional banking reserve and bank reserves, but that's all you have to know. The banks got it gave it back so in total it was $29 trillion. It was often the same, you know 3 trillion that was recirculating now I don't...I didn't clip the rest of what Beck was saying but if you take that to 2019 in September the same thing was happening with a slight difference The difference is it was no longer overnight it was three days, it was a week, it was two months they're still paying it back but instead of a remember at the Federal Reserve is the lender of last resort so these banks are in very
2:05:16 in some kind of balance sheet problem where they need the money much longer than just a typical overnight and this is the thing that Beck went totally off the rails with, off the rails. So they're doing about $1 trillion dollars a week and you can look at the chart it's true it's probably more like 1.7 trillion a week But they're getting it back and Beck counted it up and said well that's 95 weeks so far of the pandemic, that's a hundred trillion dollars. So they've stolen 130 trillion dollars It's not true What is true, is the system is so corrupt that we are keeping it afloat with a trillion dollar loan every single week. This shit on the brink of collapsing! If you don't have that money flown to the bank or they don't resolve whatever the problem is and it was Lehman Brothers I guess was part of the fix in 2008-2009 something's gonna happen and thats like in our face
2:06:14 I'm going to talk to Horowitz about it because he understands this stuff better than i do. But, it seems like that's what's happening the banks and I'm sure all the same banks they can't make ends meet so they have to keep borrowing money They give it back but they have to borrow every single time before the rent comes due or whatever is going on with them That's a lot of money that there out...that is not working. I think it works great! You don't need much if a hiccup for something to go bad I'm not sure of that. No, i know you're not sure! Neither is the former New York banker he also says nothing to worry about it'll just continue
CHAPTER 47 / 65Discussion
Roaring Twenties, Stock Market Crash, and Digital Currency
A prediction is made for a "Roaring Twenties" economic boom followed by a massive stock market crash around 2031 or 2032. The hosts also discuss the potential implementation of a Federal Reserve Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) by 2025. Brief mention is made of the "Target 2" system and instability within the Eurozone.
2:07:00 Yeah, it works. Whatever works you know is that to play games? All I know is the trucks are moving goods and services are here the Costco's filled to the gills Bro, please just do me one favor keep it up Just get a freezer and just get some beef or something I just want to make sure don't have it up Just don't want to have to worry about you There's also something going on in Europe with something calling it Target 2 or something. Something with the Euro, the Euro is also a problem. By the way I'm gonna stop you right now and go back to the earlier part of this show where we talked about the overlay after the pandemic, another part of the overlay and then the riots... Then? Another bullcrap there's a big boom in the stock market Yes! And the roaring 20s are coming up But I think we have to go through some crap first
2:07:48 There was no crap in the 18-19 period except for the riots and that's bad. Well there was quite a list of crap that went down, what are you talking about? Yeah but again you have The Roaring Twenties coming up and it's gonna be terrific! Attention The Roaring Twenties have now been moved to the 30s stay tuned to this station for more information Seriously, it's going to be still in the 20s. It's going to be the same...it's gonna be the roaring twenties and we should have a massive crash which is going to move everything in this scale would be around twenty thirty one thirty two be a stock market crash not just for a loop yeah well I'm thinking you got your Federal Reserve Central Bank digital coin by 2025 that's what I'm thinking
CHAPTER 48 / 65Discussion
Build Back Better, Nancy Pelosi, and Post-Passage Selling
Jen Psaki echoes Nancy Pelosi's famous sentiment by stating it is "easier to sell a package to the public once it's passed." The hosts criticize this approach to the Build Back Better bill, arguing that the administration is admitting they cannot convince the public of the bill's merits while it is still under debate.
2:08:41 Meanwhile, Jen Psaki takes a page from Nancy Pelosi to explain the Build Back Better bill which is still a problem despite no one really wanting this. They have different numbers. Jen? Well without getting into internal polling I will tell you that Build Back Better as you know hasn't passed yet and we are working to get it passed. And what we see in a lot of polling is that people like the components of the bill, but they don't know exactly what's in Build Back Better and what it means. It's always easier to sell a package to the public once its passed so were hoping we're going to get to that point. That is our objective.
2:09:19 It's so much easier to explain to the people what their representatives voted for after they've already voted on it. It's so much easier! Yeah, I'll bet it is yeah hey I explained it to you what your problem? It's easier we already passed this not a problem for me. The spotify woman. Final...I just got some Jen Psaki clips she's off the rails So she makes a cardinal mistake as a spokeshole, you just don't do interviews. You know like oh but let's just come on the daily! The Daily is the most total tarted podcast in the... it's a pod in the universe and she goes into daily mode like she's a member of the team.
CHAPTER 49 / 65Discussion
Jen Psaki, Fox News, and Soft on Crime Comments
During a podcast interview, Jen Psaki disparages Fox News coverage, specifically mocking Judge Jeanine Pirro's focus on "soft on crime" policies. The hosts criticize Psaki for stepping out of her role as a neutral spokesperson and for failing to understand the public's genuine concerns regarding rising crime rates in American cities.
2:10:07 Yeah, and this is what we could have advised against doing these kinds of interviews. Jen you speak from the podium and the podium only If you look at Fox on a daily basis I mean do you remember the four boxes that we had on all the TVs right which is on my TV right now? So right now, just to give you a sense. So CNN Pentagon as many as 8500 US troops on heightened alert. Okay true same on MSNBC CNBC is doing their own thing about the market and then on Fox is Jeanine Pirro talking about soft on crime consequences I mean what? What does that even mean right so there's an alternate universe on some coverage what scary about it is a lot of people watch that
2:10:52 Soft on crime. What does that even mean? Right lady, what is it? What does it even mean right? Oh Brother yeah That's not good no this I don't know why she does that soft on crime Yeah And then to disparage Fox It's just dumb even the even her her her protégé there the band camp girl Didn't she wound up on Fox for a while they even let her on Fox yeah I miss her. I miss the band camp girl, she was so good and loved Band Camper she was nice So i was doing what you do looking at different kinds of screwball podcasts and Victor Davis Hanson has one Ah VDH yes with a horrible sound quality Oh the sound quality is the worst And he's like...you know He's a professor of ancient history very good one too Wait? Ancient alien history
CHAPTER 50 / 65Discussion
Victor Davis Hanson, Joe Biden's Health, and Cognitive Assessments
Professor Victor Davis Hanson describes President Joe Biden's physical and mental decline as "geometric," noting his "reptilian" complexion and unusual gait. The hosts compare the lack of media scrutiny regarding Biden's health to the intense demands for Donald Trump to take the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. They also critique the poor sound quality of Hanson's podcast.
2:11:50 No, no that's ancient astronaut theorist. Oh right and he is different. That's me! Yes So I clipped something from him because it's his description of Biden that... Because we were talking to Mimi about this and you know it's like a lot of it has to do with Biden's gate and And Dana Carvey does something, he tries to do it but Hansen's description kind of rings true and I just thought it was so interesting for people out there who want to do a copy of Biden. You might wanna listen to this. And then there is a lie about Biden when he gets on television, I saw him last night Jack He is declining as they said before geometrically not arithmetically each day is twice as bad as the day before
2:12:44 His complexion is almost reptilian like, it's completely... When you look at those pictures just 10-12 years ago he looked like he was a fit 70. Late 60s he looks completely different He walks like his arms or wings are some type of navigational instruments, his elbows. They're like he kind of flaps so he doesn't fall and takes these short little steps. He gets on there and he gets angry and he kinda slurs and spits words out. He coughs... I am very empathetic! I feel bad! He has no business in bed getting up at 6 or 7 and being told this is your menu anything oh my god got a headache I ate I'm tired i don't want this
2:13:27 That's where we are. We don't, we're not honest about it. Sure were honest about Donald Trump! We had the Montreal Cognitive Assessment given him. We had... was their name Bandy Yee? Lee? Yes, Bandy Yee. A Yale psychiatrist who was paraded around Congress saying that you need to basically a straightjacket intervention to grab him off the street and put him in you know, cloud cuckoo land Donald Trump and not a word about Joe Biden. Can't we just agree give the guy the Montreal cognitive assessment see whether he can pass it or not? Tina listens to Victor Davis Hanson
2:14:07 She's always complaining about the quality of the sound. Good for her, she should! How about writing him? Sound men are around especially... I think he is at the Hoover Institute. I can name a guy Marshall Buick In the building Yeah, there's guys in the building. The sound guys! Well since VDH brought that up I have the latest creepy sound bite from Uncle Joe But there is so much more to do...I remember we were going through this in the moonshot and my saying that I was told patients don't want to share their data They all wanna share their data Sometimes y'all don't wanna share what you know That is so deep on so many levels
CHAPTER 51 / 65Discussion
Cancer Moonshot, mRNA Technology, and Vaccine Skepticism
President Biden relaunches the "Cancer Moonshot" initiative, suggesting that mRNA technology used for COVID-19 vaccines could be repurposed to stop cancer cells. The hosts express extreme skepticism, calling the mRNA platform a "loser" and predicting the effort will fail. They debate whether the public would "line up around the block" for a cancer vaccine as they did for COVID-19.
2:14:55 What is up with that? They all want to share their data. They all want to share, share your data and then they clap for it! They clap for it yes oh Joe share your data! Share your data why are we clapping for sharing data okay for each of the ways we know cancer today cancer you know we can change its trajectory Oh for example to prevent cancer scientists are exploring If the new mRNA vaccine technology that brought us safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines could also be used to stop cancer cells when they fail, when they first arrive. Yes! Hi Cancer Cells here's some mRNA from the safe and effective vaccines Get Safe Now from the people who brought you the safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine it's Cancer mRNA
2:15:49 Right on. Well there was a story on NPR about Biden pushing this cancer thing, it's interesting you played that clip, might as well play This Is The Cancer Money From Biden? Cancer money. President Biden is renewing his pledge to fight cancer NPR's Windsor Johnston reports by outline the details of a new effort at the White House today that represents a relaunch of a program he led during the Obama administration President Biden announced efforts to supercharge a plan to reduce the death rate from cancer by at least 50% over the next 25 years Biden wasn't specific about how the proposal would be funded, but called on Congress to support legislation that would enhance prevention and research programs as well as systems to increase equity and access to treatment. My plea to my members in Congress is let's fund this particular program and focus on it till we beat it. It's the American people
2:16:45 Keep the hope alive. There is hope." The White House says more than 9 million cancer screenings were missed in the U.S during the coronavirus pandemic. Oh, okay so how long do you think it is before there's a breakthrough mRNA vaccine that will protect you from cancer? Never! This thing is going to fall apart this mRNA thing is a loser I just don't...I'm of the opinion that They would be nice, it'd be wishful thinking. They want to do something that would be nice for them for their money or their bankroll but I just don't see it. You don't think they will get something passed through the FDA?
2:17:32 Well, now I'm sounding like you and this wishful thinking. Yeah really? What happened to everyone will take it! If they come out... I'll just do the John C DeVore. Oh if they come out with a cancer vaccine Everyone will take it! They'll line up around the block we saw it So you can't go back on that I'm sorry. I was right Hey, I apologize It's my beat This is one of those things where I'm gonna get emails and tweets I can't believe you didn't do it Do you ever get those? I'm so surprised. This is my favorite. I'm surprised you didn't do this, to which i would say I'm surprised that you as a producer did not produce and remind me
CHAPTER 52 / 65Discussion
Morgan Freeman, Black History Month, and Don Lemon
A classic clip of Morgan Freeman is played where he argues against the existence of Black History Month, stating that "Black history is American history." Freeman's past interaction with Don Lemon is discussed, where he challenged the narrative that things are "terrible" for Black Americans by pointing to their own high-paying jobs and success.
2:18:19 Yeah, I always throw it back on the producers. February! The shortest month, the coldest month and perfect for Black History Month everybody yes That's the old classic that's the old classic i just want to remind everyone with a Morgan Freeman clip who explains his views on black history month. This is fine with George Wallace interview ridiculous what you're gonna relegate my history to our month oh come on what do you do with yours Which month is white history month? Well, come on. Tell me I'm Jewish Okay which month is Jewish history month? There isn't one Oh! Why not? Do you want one No no Alright alright I don't either I don't want a black history month Black History's American History How are we gonna get rid of racism and start talking about it? I'm going to stop calling you a white man
2:19:26 Yeah. I'm gonna ask you to stop calling me a black man. There you go, it's always good to remember the words of Morgan Freeman Yep he was so... He was the one who went on The Don Lemon Show And Lemon started trying to get into this racist talk. He says, you know what makes you think things are going... Freeman said things are going fine! And he says what makes you think things aren't going fine? They're going terrible and then he points out and says look I'm on your show You've got this high paid job Look at the two of us How can we be complaining?! Yeah yeah yeah you're a black man i'm a black man This is great! And Lemon doesn't know what to say
CHAPTER 53 / 65Discussion
Troop Deployments, NATO Eastern Flank, and Spanish Document Leaks
The Pentagon announces the deployment of 3,000 U.S. troops to Poland, Germany, and Romania to bolster NATO's eastern flank against Russia. A Spanish newspaper, El País, publishes leaked documents suggesting the U.S. is willing to negotiate on missile deployments if Russia de-escalates. The hosts identify this as a classic CIA "roundabout" messaging tactic to soften diplomatic blows.
2:20:11 That's been suppressed. Now I do have a couple of things about the troops, the build-up including what i think might be the CIA messaging. Is this for Russia? Yeah the Russian thing... Russia! I have two clips and And when is the NPR clip about the American troops are moving to the EU? The Pentagon announced today 3,000 troops will deploy as part of an effort to bolster NATO allies along the Ukrainian border. The troop movements are in efforts to deter Russia from once again invading Ukraine. NPR's Tom Bowman has more Two thousand troops from Fort Bragg, North Carolina will deploy to Germany and Poland. And another one thousand American troops already in Germany will head to Romania in the coming days Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said the troops are meant to reinforce these NATO allies
2:21:01 referring to it as a robust defense and move that is not escalatory. The US is doing this on its own, Kirby said and not through NATO there are another 8500 troops in the US on high alert to be part of a NATO response force they have not yet been ordered to deploy wait a minute we're doing this on our own? Of our own accord? Not with NATO? Yes well that doesn't sound even legal probably isn't And he admitted that. But they're just moving troops now, it's legal we're just sending a few troops to do a little shopping in Poland We hear its nice this time of year in Warsaw So I caught this clip and this is the deployment clip
2:21:51 And I believe that this is the CIA messaging clip that goes out to let us know what's up ahead, what's really going on. And you can...I think you may be able to pick this up too when you hear it. President Biden has ordered several thousand U.S. troops to take up new positions in Eastern Europe as Russian forces crowd Ukraine's borders. The Pentagon said today that 2,000 soldiers will deploy from Fort Bragg North Carolina to Poland and to Germany. Another 1,000 will move from Germany to Romania. These troops will not be going into Ukraine to participate in the defense of Ukraine. The president has been very clear about that. These forces are going to reassure and bolster capabilities inside NATO's eastern flank.
2:22:39 Russia called the US deployments destructive. Meanwhile, the Pentagon confirmed the validity of documents leaked to a Spanish newspaper They indicate that the U.S would agree to talks over reducing missile deployment in Europe if Russia backs away from Ukraine Well first of all is Mike Morrell That was Kirby that wasn't that was Kirby. Yeah, are you sure that really sounded like Mike? Yes cuz I think it was visual okay from a video Oh my goodness, it sounded just as mill you but no it was the it was the Documents leaked to a Spanish newspaper? Yes, have we ever heard this before. This is the old roundabout... That's right! According to these to the Madrid Times
CHAPTER 54 / 65Discussion
Financial Times, International Herald Tribune, and Paywall Busting
The hosts discuss how the CIA uses international newspapers like the Financial Times and the now-defunct International Herald Tribune to leak state department information. They share a "paywall buster" tip for accessing FT.com content. The segment concludes that the Russia-Ukraine tension will likely result in a Biden "victory lap" once a pre-arranged de-escalation occurs.
2:23:29 So documents leaked by the CIA to a Spanish newspaper indicate the following and then they leak this information to soften the blow which is that we will pull some missiles out of some places if the Russians just back off a little bit and give us, give us some slack here in this whole thing goes away. That to me was CIA's version their old-fashioned way doing it now This just hit me The number of times I have heard, and we've talked about this type of system over...and even Nancy Pelosi confirmed that's how it works. But my family knows some of this a lot of this developed this who knows Uncle Don but they would always be reading the...this is so does uncle don read The Madrid Times? No!
2:24:21 He would always see this in two places. I think one is more or less defunct now, the International Herald Tribune does that still exist? It's been changed it still exists as the New York Times international edition of something. No okay so that pulled it used to be a joint venture between The Times and The Washington Post So that I believe was the messaging system but More currently just it popped my mind FT Financial Times, they're always publishing stuff like that. And it makes total sense because you cannot read anything on FT.com unless you pay or unless you use ft12.io as in foot twelve dot IO and that's a tip from your No Agenda show It's a paywall buster
2:25:25 Oh no! And it busts the FT, which I've never been able to do. So i'm going to start looking at this now. I think of financial times maybe the aggregate outlet It might be, but in this case it was some newspaper in Spain. No no! But my point is the Financial Times would say according to the Madrid times they're the ones that are doing it not New York Times but the Financial Times The joke of this is the transparency of the fraud which is if you're gonna leak documents State Department documents. Why would you leak them to a Spanish newspaper? Well, you said it's the CIA system so the CIA does that That is what it is obviously The CIA does it that way to get into the International Herald Tribune or into The Financial Times and what outlet was this where you got this from This was PBS Hello Yeah Another CIA outlet
2:26:27 Yeah, easy peasy. So that's so I believe that was the CIA messaging that this is what's going to happen we're gonna pull some missiles out of here and there as a bad and the Russians are gonna back off or they're gonna move to further actually the Russian may not do anything but we're gonna report that they backed off right? They won't be crowding the border may actually be doing actual exercises like they said. Yeah, which I think they were so it's all gonna calm down and then Biden is going to take a victory lap hopefully by 2022 so this will happen within the next few months. This has gotta be prior to the 2022 midterms well they have... And that all has to happen before April so this is gonna happen in the next month and a half They have kept as we say in the old country a stick behind the door
CHAPTER 55 / 65Discussion
Cyber Attacks, Power Grid Threats, and German Oil Terminals
U.S. officials warn of potential Russian cyber attacks on the power grid as the Ukraine standoff continues. In Germany, a cyber attack paralyzes oil tank loading and unloading systems at Logistics Group Hellman and Mabanaft. The hosts note that Texas power producers are being put on high alert for similar disruptions.
2:27:19 just in case. All of my dudes named Ben and the protector of the megawatts specifically has sent this panic, panic amongst the power generating companies US officials prepare for potential Russian cyber attacks as Ukraine standoff continues they're gonna hit the grid so they left that as a possibility I think And they, but they did. What is it? ICIEUS the computer division of the government they've been contacting all of the power producers in Texas and whoo could happen yeah it could happen so just in case there was a cyber attack in Germany paralyzing an oil tank large oil tank farm So they could not transport any oil because the systems are locked up
2:28:14 Let me see if they blame this on Russia yet. They probably will. So the systems were locked up? Yeah, Logistics Group Hellman... let me see IT Systems of the mineral oil trader Mabonoft are also affected The oil all the oil tanks loading and unloading systems are paralyzed! Sounds right Just turn a valve for God's sake Take a wrench Turn a valve take a wrench Um, alright. To round out this story we heard...
CHAPTER 56 / 65Discussion
HBCU Bomb Threats, ISIS Suspects, and Domestic Terrorism
The FBI identifies six juvenile suspects in a series of bomb threats against Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Simultaneously, a Kansas woman, Allison Fluke-Ekren, is charged with supporting ISIS and plotting to bomb U.S. colleges. The hosts critique the media's insistence on labeling the juvenile threats as "domestic terrorism" while downplaying foreign ISIS links.
2:28:56 This is very, I think it's related but we heard about the HSBU being targeted third wave of bomb threats for some reason. Yeah i have a clip of this too Oh you do? Okay well what do you have let me play that first The FBI report on the black college bombings The FBI has identified as many as six possible suspects in bomb threats against historically black colleges and universities news accounts today said that all of those being investigated are juveniles. At least 18 schools received threats on Monday and on Tuesday, no bombs were found. Oh juveniles! A bunch of prankster kids.
2:29:37 Well, check this out. A woman from Kansas charged with supporting ISIS will make her first court appearance today. Allison Fluke Ekren is accused of training militant women after moving to Syria she allegedly wanted to bomb a mall or a college in the US. Hmm how come there's no ISIS leads here? Well, she said ISIS. I know but they're not connecting it to the HBCUs Oh no no you see this is a mistake that report you just played should have been quashed completely because what we're dealing with these kids is domestic terrorism! Yeah oh yes we can't have foreign terrorism and white supremacy yeah we can't have foreign terrorism You are so right Okay unfortunately we can identify these kids No These are underage
CHAPTER 57 / 65Discussion
Queen Elizabeth, Windsor Castle, and EDGE Acronym
A "boots on the ground" report from Windsor Castle confirms Queen Elizabeth was seen alive and moving just before Christmas. The hosts joke about British taxidermy before introducing a new corporate acronym: EDGE, which stands for "Ethically Diverse Group of Employees." They warn listeners to look out for this term in modern workplace environments.
2:30:26 Yeah, underage. Underage terrorists. Domestic terrorists! UK boots on the ground from Nigel, the company I work for does work at Windsor Castle just before Christmas. I was walking around with the chief of the onsite fire department He took me to parts of the grounds I'm not normally allowed to go when the Queen is in residence. This is Christmas, we were walking along some of the grounds and were stopped by two men in a Land Rover and asked to wait Two more land rovers drove past The second had the queen sitting in the back She was definitely alive just before Christmas
2:31:09 So that's at least we know she was alive then. Do we know is the... did she move because could have been stuffed? Taxidermy is big in England I think that we need a follow-up from uh We need to see if just as she was moving or waving that way, does it wave? Did you wave at your... oh she stuffed! And stuffed Let's see, I got a couple other emails that want to inform us of. Oh yes there is new term we need to be on the lookout for EDGE? Edge? It's an acronym Our Edge is a driving force Yes the Ethically Diverse Group Of Employees That's our edge We need to look out for that
CHAPTER 58 / 65Discussion
Millennial Workforce, Anti-Work Sentiment, and Slack Culture
A detailed essay from a millennial producer, Sandra, describes the "perfect storm" of overwork caused by digital platforms like Slack and Microsoft Teams. She explains how corporate "culture" channels for pets and wellness keep employees constantly tethered to their jobs. The segment concludes that the "anti-work" movement is a natural reaction to this systemic burnout and lack of boundaries.
2:31:53 And I have a fantastic life. I mean, I text with Joe Rogan and I talk to Janice Dean then I get Roger McGuinn sending me emails... A bird! A former bird 8 miles high guy who says hey Adam It's produced Vuv Clico. Not Vouv Clico! Yeah, Vuv. Hey man don't you have important bird business to attend to? Gosh darn it I guarantee that he sent that to you from a boat. He is on a cruise ship and has the satellite system to send messages. I know he's great yeah That's what...he's bored
2:32:32 No, he's listening to the show. He's woke man! Well yeah he does listen to the show it keeps him busy but... Yeah But he also gives lectures on these boats so I guess free cruises Question for a... Oh okay here is the boots on the ground and we should take a break after this from Sandra And she says you know what? This anti-work the workforce situation i'd like to give your perspective from the millennials like herself We always love hearing this And some of it I think makes sense because we've even discussed it as such. To put in a perspective, millennials like me entered the workforce and the aftermath of the 2008 crisis. Most of us had a hard time finding a job right out to college that actually paid our bills back then. In order to get a job employers asked for at least two years of experience which meant that you had to intern most of times for free to gain that experience. I interned three months for free and one year making $2,000 a month in New York City
2:33:29 During that time you had to prove yourself and work long hours, which I was happy to do. I needed the learning experience since college didn't prepare me for the real world at all." Yeah this disillusionment is a common theme and I do kind of understand that. You think i should get an intern? Yeah definitely we need to do the intern selection process! Yeah. In simultaneous, new tech and new apps started flooding the workplace. Apps like Slack or Teams... We knew this was no good! They create internal social media platforms where you can be constantly in touch with everyone at work on multiple devices This means you're always on, always available and you're expected to answer ASAP
2:34:16 and always being followed and tracked. Additionally, most of the companies have social channels in these platforms things like hashtag cuteness overload where you post photos of your pets Hashtag food where you share your lunch Hashtag wellness fitness You name it! Anything to keep those notifications poppin' And to build our company culture And so, the light this is I'm this rings true and so we were left with little to no time To have a healthy social life outside work most of us tend to make friends with the people We work with so you had a perfect storm where all your life revolves around your job as you know As you and John mentioned a couple of times
2:34:56 We are not good at pushing back and creating boundaries. Hence, you have a workforce that is used to working long hours to make the impossible possible in a short amount of time and always connected always on now Enter the pandemic when the pandemic started and we all had to scramble to work from home things got a bit out of hand Leaders were concerned with earnings and employees with keeping their jobs So what did we do? We overworked And there you have it a workforce that is tired that sits all day in makeshift offices zooming back-to-back With some having to deal with kids at home. We've also noticed is that the new generation disease
2:35:36 are just not having it at all. They've seen us burning out and want healthier approaches to work, work-life balance! There's a Slack channel for that too! In summary I personally think that people are burned out uninspired and tired of work being the main thing in their life thank you for all you do especially the much needed laughs from Sandra Learn to code! Yeah! I think that sounds pretty good man I think that sounds spot on yeah it's actually pretty good essay oh what's an essay Sandra, she could get a sub stack. She's telling it like it is. She should get a sub-stack. Yeah, she could do one once in awhile. I'm gonna show my smooth by donating to No Agenda Imagine all the people who can do that Oh yeah that'd be fab!

Alexander Vindman files a lawsuit alleging "unlawful intimidation," which the hosts dismiss as a nuisance suit. They then play a viral clip of comedian Alex Stein "bombing" a Portland City Council Zoom meeting. Stein portrays a homeless Antifa member praising the city's "clean methamphetamine" and "chill" atmosphere compared to Texas.
2:48:44 It's like a party. Like a party! Okay, let me see... You have ISOs? I have a single one-shot ISO. Okay then let me do..I have a whole bunch and most are probably lame Let's see we have this one. They all want to share their data. Nah it's too quiet What is this? That's you by the way That's this. That's you! How about this? Little Muddy, another toddler who was being abused for the show. I don't really...I don't think i have anything really except for...hold on deal the only thing I kind of liked was where is he uh this one
2:49:44 But I'm hoping you got something for me. Yes, I have ISO important Important conversations for sure. Important conversations for sure. The show ender Yeah well it's better than anything i have so... It's a second rate winner We're sorry this is not our usual standard of ISO and as you know we take these things very seriously So we apologize in advance
2:50:23 I have really only, I think one more thing. I have one lone clip. I have one longish clip that's funny we could dump out of at any time so let's do yours first Alright this is a Vindeman, this idiot Vindeman guy who was like starring on the Larry David show He's suing everybody for some stupid reason. Now this is the guy who testified against Trump and had the inside dirt on the phone call, the Ukraine phone call wasn't that this guy? Yes supposedly and he was always wearing a uniform and he's very stiff and he's very formal... And has a twin brother in there creepy together Yeah it's right I forgot about that okay

CHAPTER 64 / 65Discussion
Alex Stein Performance, Mayor Ted Wheeler, and Satirical Praise
Comedian Alex Stein continues his satirical address to the Portland City Council, mockingly praising Mayor Ted Wheeler for allowing people to smoke "pure Molly" and watch movies with their dogs in theaters. The hosts analyze the performance, noting the council's confusion and the effectiveness of using extreme sarcasm to ridicule local government policies.
2:51:53 But what he has, he's a comedian. What he has excelled at is calling into or going to in person but he's had a lot more luck calling in the Zoom calls for local city council meetings where you're given two minutes to speak and they have to give me those two minutes and they will not cut you off So this is in total with the setup. They actually let him go a little long and there's a tail to it, so it's over two minutes Stop any time but I thought this was really quite genius This is high-end performance comedy
2:52:30 As he bombs the Portland, Oregon City Council meeting. Portland, Oregon one of the wokest cities in the country. Next individual please queue on item 62. Request of Alexander Hadenstein to address council regarding vaccine passport. Alexander Hadenstien I mean come on this is already good. Alexander are you able to unmute? Yes can you see me? Yeah can hear me yes okay You know, I just want to say... Hold on. And you have to understand he's in the back of an El Camino in the back laying down on mattresses in the car. I'm a member of Antifa and listen, I was in Texas. I had a wife she worked at a bank, she worked there for 11 years and I had two kids
2:53:20 And she got all radicalized and became a Trump supporter. So I took the dog, I took the car and I drove straight to Los Angeles. And I'll be honest with you like L.A was terrible it was a nightmare! Then i met some guys we rode some trains and went up to Portland. And I have to tell you guys this is the best place The cleanest methamphetamine that I've ever done. But the problem is, there's a lot of these guys and all these dope users out there you know they're- A lot of them aren't vaccinated That's the thing They got all these needles...I don't want to catch COVID You know what i mean? Like..i'm triple vaccinated And I think everything in- I mean I'll tell you This El Camino like I've been parked on this street for three weeks Nobody has said anything at all It is so chill
2:54:08 I'm just you can smoke all day in the purest Molly. I've ever seen Like you can stay up all night and it's chill in Portland and Texas if you sample night It's terrible and like man what happened at the federal building? It was like Like it was sweet that y'all were so chill about it because a lot of my boys were the ones starting those fires. And like I know some family friends that went down on January 6th to Washington, D.C., and now they're in jail forever! They are going to be in jail forever! So that's so tight you are able to hook us up Mayor Wheeler and not mess us up like those loser Trump supporters did.
2:54:47 Like so Portland is chill. So guys, if y'all want some cleaned out there, fit and all's clean. Uh, the Molly is clean at the PCP, the GHB Oh my the cleanest chase me I've ever seen. Oh my God. Me and my boy phase we were tripped out for four hours. We're at the McDonald's dude. I had six chickens that I don't even eat meat man. It was sick Portland is like, if you're chill and you want to smoke and you like old art movies. Dude! You can smoke all day watch old movies that let's you take your dog in the theater. That lets you take your dog in the theaters!!
2:55:30 They don't do any of that crap in Texas. In Texas, they got all these rules and all these cops and pull you over. Dude! Portland is so chill. So Mayor Wheeler you're the number one chillest mayor ever dude. I just want to encourage everybody out there if you've got a family member that's like on Trumps crap or something like that Go to Portland, take the train for overtime so we can cut him off now. Thank you! Yeah thank you um... So I'll take that in the spirit which it was offered which is complete sarcasm Next individual please? I liked it I thought he was pretty good yeah We need more of that Yeah He's from Houston

Show Outro, Jesse Coy Nelson Mix, and Final Sign-off
The hosts conclude the episode, announcing an upcoming "End of Show Mix" by Jesse Coy Nelson. They remind listeners to send in content for deconstruction and provide the website address for donations. The show ends with a montage of clips featuring Justin Trudeau and a musical track criticizing vaccine mandates and government overreach.
2:56:19 And we've played one of his bits before when he called in the Houston City Council. Any advice for him? Stuff he could expand on, because I think it got a little repetitive at the end there was too much just about the dope... What could you do to ridicule more? I don't know that takes a certain genius. I think he's okay Yeah well We're very happy that Alex Van Haden Steinemberg is in the world You've colored my day just a little bit more my friend And we have, let's see... Coming up after this program on No Agenda Stream We have Canary Cry News Talk I've never heard this. Should be interesting It'll be on No Agenda Stream End of Show Mix is Jesse Coy Nelson and the Adelaide SA You will like that one Short sweetened cool and Jesse has just put together another one of his masterpieces We'll be back on Sunday to deconstruct whatever happens between then and now
2:57:21 Keep sending all your crap to us. Don't think we didn't, we already saw it at least me I'm coming you from the capital and the heart of V Texas Hill country here in FEMA region number six in the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry And for Northern Silicon Valley I am John C Dvorak We return on Sunday right here on no agenda please remember us at dvorak dot org slash n8 will see ya on Sunday till then adios mofos! Such And why it's so unbelievable that Mr. O'Toole won't respect the science, won't respect people who want to get back to normal and take even the simplest step of demanding that all his candidates be vaccinated to lead by example?
2:58:22 Young Trudeau said he doesn't much care what his peers think of his views. Everyone's stuck, peer pressure at this age I mean there is pressure to smoke, there is pressure do all sorts of stuff and it's like peer pressure. I want to be very clear we are not intimidated We won't give in! We won't cave You said that its crucial you listen Listen to this Mr. Trudeau Listen to it! Can you hear us now? As K. Billy's super sounds of the 70s weekend just keeps on truckin'. I'm saying that we are your story today, this is not enough. Not enough.
2:59:19 Quebec is backpedaling on its idea to impose a health contribution or Vax Tax for unvaccinated adults, which Premier Francois Legault announced last month would have been a significant charge to all adults who refuse to get vaccinated against COVID-19. The goal is not to punish people who don't want to get vaccinated Chill out, what you're lying for Way back you had a heart before Your fear mongering ain't giving me immunity And nobody else believes what you tell You talk and you snack with no proof to back You try to be cool but look like tool to me
3:00:07 Tell me why you gotta blame and gotta hate the unvaccinated You see the way that most of us Canadians don't wanna be associated You lie like this too, good advice to be snubbed based in science You're fake and we hate what you turned us into All these words you promised I'm acting like a big dictator No no The best podcast in the universe!
