About this episode

San Francisco Mayor London Breed has declared a local health emergency as the monkeypox outbreak threatens the Folsom Street Fair and Dore Alley events. Dr. Dimer Ogoina, the Nigerian physician who first identified the 2017 urban outbreak, reveals that his early warnings regarding sexual transmission were suppressed by international health officials for years. Genetic evidence now suggests the current global spread is a direct continuation of that Nigerian event, which shifted transmission patterns from animal contact to urban social networks.

In the Netherlands, dairy farmer Jeroen van Maanden reports that government mandates to reduce the national herd by 50% are a pretext for seizing agricultural land to house 100,000 annual refugees. Meanwhile, Senator Joe Manchin and Chuck Schumer have finalized the Inflation Reduction Act, allocating $129 billion for IRS enforcement and $369 billion for climate initiatives. In the United Kingdom, energy price caps are projected to rise 77% by October, while NPR frames the economic collapse in Sri Lanka as a climate victory because citizens are forced to trade cars for bicycles. In the United States, Texas Governor Greg Abbott continues busing migrants to Washington, D.C., prompting Mayor Muriel Bowser to request National Guard intervention for a humanitarian crisis.

Sir Stonk Straider and Sir Peacock join the No Agenda roundtable during a formal knighting ceremony as the value-for-value model continues to fund the show’s infrastructure. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak analyze the linguistic shift from gay to queer men in public health messaging while debating the merits of a TV Guide parody in the troll room. The episode concludes with a look at the Russian tourism ad warning that winter is coming to a sanctioned Europe.

Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak, Episode 1473 Introduction

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open Episode 1473 of the No Agenda show from the Texas Hill Country and Silicon Valley. Curry describes his recovery from the BA5 COVID-19 variant, comparing its fatigue to a summer cold. The discussion critiques President Joe Biden's use of Paxlovid and the phenomenon of "rebound" infections, while noting the media's dismissal of alternative treatments like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin.

00:00 That's what your mom used to say. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Sunday, July 31st, 2022. This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1473. This is no agenda. Fighting for the L's and the G's and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6 in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where we're noticing Biden's down again. I'm John C. Dvorak. Isn't that the most hilarious thing, news report you've ever seen? Well I have a question for you. How you doing? Oh thank you for asking. I feel like I have a body buzz, you know, and I'm a little shaky. Shaky but that's probably the caffeine in the weed didn't help. But otherwise good to go. Ready for a show. Rock and roll.

00:58 So you're, and you sound better. I do. Thank you. Not 100%. I'm pushing through it, you know? Not 100%, but it's better than last time, which is the first time I've ever seen you fail. I will say, just about this BA5 variant, it is still not the same as a summer cold. There's some fatigue that I just don't remember from summer colds. And the only other thing I'd say is what I just have to repeat. If everyone gets this thing, I mean, no wonder we're in a second quarter of negative GDP. I mean, this knocks you on your ass for about a week, you know, it's like this slows shit down.

01:43 It's really bad. But you're back on your feet. I'm on my feet, yeah, I'm on my feet. And you don't, have you tested recently? I didn't test at all for this. I'm not, I, I don't know. Why would I do this? So I could, for the show. I had COVID, trust me, Tina tested. No, for the show so I have a whole bit I could go into. about how Biden takes the stupid crap. What is this, Prometheus? What is that drug he's taking? Pax Lovid. Pax Lovid. Yeah. Pax Slovid. So he takes the Pax Lovid and just like everyone says, you take it, it's good for however long you take it, then it's no good. And then it comes back. And then it comes back. What good is it? Everything that they've said that was wrong has been proven with the president. That's the best part. Include right down to the... They say Pax Lovid.

02:31 I like Paxlovid myself. Well, whatever it is. I'll say this. Somebody sent me a link to a medical journal, some phony medical journal, where they're praising Biden for taking Paxlovid and it's a good thing. It says in the article, literally, it's a good thing they didn't give him hydroxychloroquine. No, they said specifically in the article. Oh, really? Good thing they didn't give him hydroxychloroquine. And then I was waiting for this to mention ivermectin. They didn't say that, but that's what other people are saying. So heaven forbid they take these any of these cheap drugs, which are more or less harmless and they're taken by the which I took, which I took. And so, you know, I took it. You're probably good to go, but that's why I needed to say I took him and I kept working.

03:27 It didn't really stop working. Well Biden's still working too. Yeah, well on Zoom. When he calls. Call when he does working. Yeah. That's good. So here's my question though. Whatever happened to asymptomatic spread? Did that just get thrown out the door? I mean that was the whole reason for, that's still the whole reason for masking. You know you might be sick and not know it and then you could kill grandma. Yeah. That's not, that's just over. It's like, ah, if you got it now, you know, five days and then you'll test positive for weeks. Don't worry about it. Just go back to work. Yeah. And these are the, this is the problem is the human race forgets very quickly these days. That's why our show's here.

San Francisco, Monkeypox Emergency, Folsom Street Fair

San Francisco Mayor London Breed declares a local health emergency regarding the monkeypox outbreak ahead of the Dore Alley and Folsom Street Fair events. Reports indicate some residents are reconsidering attendance at these high-density outdoor parties due to infection risks. The hosts express surprise at the specific nature of these events and the public health messaging surrounding them.

08:08 And I don't know where they get this, and I'm sure the numbers have been jiggered with over and over again for tax benefits and tax purposes and ways to gouge the government, the federal government in particular. They're trying to do it now with various programs. We have this many people send more money. Yeah, that kind of thing. Yeah. And so I just thought I'd point that out. Yes, that's appreciated. And let me point out that, you know, California is yet in more trouble Especially your backyard John right there in San Francisco. I don't know what's happening this weekend To be a busy weekend in San Francisco, and there's concern that a big party this weekend could spread monkeypox The mayor declared a local health health emergency just yesterday NBC various in Hilton thought I found some people are reconsidering their plans to attend a rather risque San Francisco It's called the door

09:05 the Folsom Street Fair. It's a big event. It's called the Folsom Story Alley Street Fair or up your alley and over the years, it's earned a reputation for being a smaller but racier version of the Folsom Street Fair. And this year, lots of people are reconsidering their plans to go to that event and related dance parties. because of the ongoing monkeypox outbreak. The declaration of a public health emergency by San Francisco Mayor London Breed was enough to convince San Francisco resident Larry Novita to skip the Dori Alley street fair this Sunday. I'm just gonna hang out in the neighborhood here. and just listen to what's going on at Dory through friends. But others have come to San Francisco just for the event. I think everyone kind of mitigates their own rest. Yeah, and you know, personally, I'm vaccinated and I had monkey pox. So he's hoping others take appropriate precautions. It's a painful experience. You know, there's a lot of unknown

10:01 You know questions that even doctors aren't able to answer and It's just scary. Okay now that this is interesting. So the guy's been vaccinated He's had monkey pox and yet he says, you know, there's so much unknown. They're scary I see that you have monkey pox clips. So I'm gonna hand it to you. I have you let Thank you. I'm not wait, but wait, but wait, but wait, I want to frame it though. I We need to frame this with a clip I didn't play from the last episode, which is... Well, before you do anything, before I play my clips, I've been in the Bay Area forever. Forever. Since wood. I've known about the Pride Parade.

10:50 I've known about the Folsom Street thing, which is very... it's like a bunch of nude men, you know, dry-humping each other. That's pretty much what it is. In public. Yeah. I've never even heard of this thing. This must be outrageous. I have never heard of it. Well, I think that is a very good point. And by the way, you should hang up your assless chaps in shame that you've never heard of this one. I should. I can't believe it. I, you know, I have never heard of it. It's just like it must be so lewd. And you are the kind of guy who would know. You would know. I mean, all kidding aside, you would know about all this shit that's going on. You know what's happening in Chinatown. You know everything. I know.

World Health Organization, Monkeypox Vaccine Clinical Trials

Tim Nguyen of the World Health Organization discusses the global supply of monkeypox vaccines, including the MVA-BN and ACAM2000 stockpiles. He emphasizes that the effectiveness of these vaccines in the current context is uncertain and recommends they be delivered within clinical trial frameworks. Concerns are raised regarding whether individuals receiving the shots are fully informed of their experimental status in this specific application.

11:35 What's I know what everybody in the Bay Area knows generally, but I keep up with things, but I have never heard of this event. Now it's either new or it's not a real event or it's so lewd and so gross that nobody wants to talk about it, which is my guess. It must be an embarrassment to the city. I'm not so sure. I mean, I think I think this whole monkey pox thing has there's a different reason behind it. Okay, we'll play your clip and then I'll... Right, okay. But this clip is important because this is Tim Nguyen, who is the World Health Organization's High Impact Events Preparedness Unit Head. That's an incredible title. High Impact Events Preparedness Unit Head.

12:22 And we just need to play this because this is the official word about monkeypox and where we are and what we know about it and what the science is and about the vaccines. I have been discussing with those manufacturers what is available in 2022. We have a rough understanding about the three vaccines that are existing at the moment are being mentioned in the W2 interim guidance for immunization. So on the MVA-BN vaccine, we do know that at the moment 16.4 million doses exist in bulk, which means they require fill and finish. We have roughly 1 million of those already in fill and finish situation.

13:03 On the other third generation vaccine, the LC16 in Japan, we know from the manufacturer that this is only being produced for the government of Japan and we have good discussion with the government of Japan how to make some of these accessible to other countries. And thirdly, on the so-called second generation vaccine, ACAM2000, we know that roughly 100 million doses of this vaccine exist with various member states in their national stockpiles. So this is the supply situation in 2022 and we're evaluating with the manufacturer what will be more available in 2023 and these are ongoing discussions.

13:48 I would like to underline one thing that is very important to WHO. We do have uncertainties around the effectiveness of these vaccines because they haven't been used in this context and in this scale before. And therefore, we are calling and working with our member states that when these vaccines are being developed, that they are delivered in the context of clinical trial studies and prospectively collecting this data to increase our understanding on the effectiveness of these vaccines. Thank you. It's a clinical trial. They don't know what it's going to do. And everyone's just lining up. Well, they're all smallpox vaccines. I understand. I understand. But that makes it even worse.

14:36 And what is this? I don't even know if it's mRNA. I have no idea. No, no, no. But there's three generations of it now. And what he's saying is when they're delivered, they should be delivered in the context of a clinical trial. I doubt. Because they've never been used on monkey bats. Yeah, but I don't think that the men who have sex with men who are lining up to get a vaccine, especially in New York City and in San Francisco, that they're being told, hey, by the way, you know, you're part of a clinical trial. Do you think that? I'm betting money that they're signing something. Oh, signing, okay. But it's not something you're hearing on the news. Oh, by the way. Well, you just know. Use at your own risk. Okay. Well, when you hear the origins of the monkeypox, this story is one of the better pieces that they've done. And this came from NPR. It was done as a kind of a

Nigeria, Monkeypox Origins, 2017 Outbreak Investigation

An NPR investigative report features Dr. Dimer Ogoina, who identified a strange monkeypox outbreak in Nigeria in 2017. Unlike historical cases involving children and animal contact, this outbreak primarily affected middle-class men in urban centers. The report highlights that the physical manifestation of the disease shifted from faces and extremities to genital lesions, suggesting a change in transmission patterns.

15:31 an investigative report. You find out two things. There's something screwy about this particular monkey pox and little boys seem to be involved once again in a very, obviously they don't bring it in a disgusting manner. You did, but that's the first thing that comes to mind. What did I do? You brought the little boys into this conversation. I didn't say anything about little boys ever. What are you talking about? It was the last show. No, no. Well, it's into play now. Here we go. Monkeypox origins 1. Nearly 800,000 additional doses of the monkeypox vaccine will soon be distributed throughout the United States, according to health officials. This comes as the world is struggling to stop the largest recorded monkeypox outbreak in history. More than 18,000 cases have now been detected in at least 78 countries. NPR's Mykeline Duclef has an exclusive story about where this outbreak began.

16:29 But first, Maikalene, you have a story about the doctor who treated some of those first known cases. And then he tried to warn the world that monkeypox had become an international threat? That's right, Asma. The story actually starts five years ago with a doctor named Dimer Ogoina. Back in 2017, he saw what's perhaps the most important patient of his career. They brought my attention to a young boy. An 11-year-old boy with a very strange rash that looked like blisters. He had skin lesions that appeared. It's very unusual, very large, affecting the face and all over the body. Ogoina is an infectious disease specialist at Niger Delta University in Nigeria. And when he saw the size of the lesions or pox, he wondered if the boy had what was then a rare disease, a very rare disease. The suspicion of monkey pox just came up. So Ogoina tested the boy and he was right. Monkey pox.

17:22 At the time, Ogunna thought that this monkeypox outbreak would act the way it always had, the way it had been described in textbooks and scientific papers since the 1970s. That is, the virus came from an animal, like a rodent or a monkey. There was this speculation that this young boy played with monkeys around the community. And that the virus doesn't spread very easily between people because it's not very contagious, especially between healthy adults. Don't play with monkeys, kids. The one thing that came out of this, this first clip to me was, it's a very rare disease. It's mentioned in books. That's not what we're told over here. No, it's it's a thing. It's all over Africa. By the way, you were right. The context was men who there were two children

18:16 who had monkey pox which was traced back to men who have sex with men. You're right. And that was the report. Yeah, I'm just saying it was your clip, not mine. But, Benny, back to this. This was, I'm thinking, what? We're kind of told that, oh, it's all over Africa. Yeah. Yeah, that's what I understood by the way the reporting was going. Now, this is the African doctor. It's like he had to... He had to look it up. He had to look it up and do a double take. What? What? So, okay, this gets better actually. So here we go. It affects many children. Because when they're playing outside, they often come into contact with animals. So previous outbreaks were small, only a few dozen cases in rural areas. And Ogoina and other doctors thought that this outbreak back in 2017 would be the same. So we thought, okay, it could be the regular monkeypox that we know has been described in Central Africa. But a few weeks later, Ogoina started to become concerned.

19:15 The outbreak began to grow very rapidly. Cases popped up not just near this boy, but all over. We are seeing cases just suddenly appearing across the country. The virus seemed to be spreading further and faster than expected. And it wasn't kids getting infected, but rather men in their 20s and 30s. Young men, active men, that's very, very unusual at that time. These men didn't fit the typical profile for monkeypox either. They weren't handling animals. They were middle class men living in busy modern cities. And their rashes weren't in the typical places on their bodies. Instead of being on their faces and extremities, the men had blisters around their genitals. Oh!

19:53 Nice. Did NPR put that sound effect in? No. What do you think? Well, she started to do a dramatic... She stripped all over it by the way. I couldn't hear it. I heard it. I heard it. Yeah. I think you should have started earlier. No, I put the sound, obviously, but it was a boing. I heard, everyone heard it. I think that it's disgusting that again this is something else that another new piece of news When we hear about it and they show the elements of it, they always show somebody's hand. Yes. Or a bicep. Palm of the hand. Which, think about that. Palm of the hand. That's what your mom used to say. So it'd be on the palm of the hand, hand, and you see it on, they never mentioned it, it's predominantly the pox are around the genitals.

CHAPTER 06 / 40 Discussion

Sexual Transmission, Monkeypox Suppression, Genetic Evidence

Dr. Ogoina recounts how his early warnings about the sexual transmission of monkeypox were suppressed by international health officials years ago. Recent genetic evidence suggests the current global outbreak is a continuation of the 2017 Nigerian event that went underground. The hosts speculate on the origins of the virus and the lack of transparency regarding its spread among specific demographics.

20:49 So this is more news unknown to the, you know, we're not getting. Yeah, now I understand why that guy in my clip was saying it's really painful. Yeah. Okay. Onward. There are very, very extensive, very, very extensive genital lesions that appeared. Ogoina started to investigate these patients more and found that many of them had high risk sexual behaviors, multiple partners, sex with prostitutes. Ogoina started to realize something huge. that the virus had changed and for the first time it was starting to spread through sexual contact. We have already proposed that sexual route is something that we need to really look at. Interesting. So fascinating because it's so different than what you see in the textbooks, right? Yeah, completely different. Why are they not affecting children? Why not females? Why not the elderly? Why are we having young men 20 to 40 years?

21:42 only. So Agwena tried to warn Nigerian health officials years ago. They wouldn't listen. At an international meeting, he tried to bring up the possibility of sexual transmission. Somebody told him to be quiet. When we had one meeting, somebody said I should not say it. Really? You have experience. Yes, at one meeting like this, somebody said I should not say it.

22:21 that it is not possible to, we should not worry. Jump ahead five years later. Tonight, the World Health Organization sounding the alarm on the rapid spread of monkeypox. More than 70 countries now reporting cases, the US nearing 2,900 infections. New York City is the epicenter of the outbreak in the US. For the first time in history, monkeypox is spreading across the world. And just as Aguina predicted, through sexual contact. Alright, Mikeleen, that to me is a wild back story. This scientist who had all this important information but he could not get anyone to pay attention to it. I mean, it's really mind-boggling. So, this does not spread to women at all?

23:05 Well, at least his observations back in Africa and everybody says that the claim is that this is where it began and this is still going on in a major way. Was that the last clip you played? No, no, there's one more. Oh, there's one more. Play that. Yeah, that's what it sounds like. And the other thing is, is the... is that it somehow has to me the stench of Fort Detrick. You know, thank you because I didn't want to go all crackpot right away but it sounds totally like, hey, you know what? Depopulation. Maybe if we start with the gays. You know, a little monkey pox that really only spreads when you're in very intimate contact and it just doesn't affect women.

23:54 That has a Ford Dietrich stench about it. It sure does. Here we go. Yeah, you know, in fact, Aguinas insights and knowledge go even further. He says the outbreak in Nigeria back in 2017 never actually stopped. Health officials just stopped looking for cases and the outbreak went underground. And eventually it actually turned into this huge international outbreak we're fighting right now. So you're saying that the outbreak today is in fact the very same one that was in Nigeria back in 2017. How do we know that? Yeah, you know there's new genetic evidence that hasn't been published yet showing that this outbreak, this international outbreak we have, started in Nigeria way back, even years before this little boy showed up in Ogoina's office. Well, what do you mean? Before that?

Cook County Jail, Monkeypox Transmission, Medical Co-pays

NPR reports on the arrival of monkeypox at the Cook County Jail in Illinois, raising concerns about rapid spread in correctional facilities. Health experts point to crowded intake pens and skin-to-skin contact as primary risks. The segment also highlights the barrier of medical co-pays in jails, which may discourage inmates from reporting symptoms like rashes.

cook county jail· monkeypox· martin costi· homer venters· medical co-pays· incarceration

24:44 Oh man, now I'm yearning for more. Do I have to listen to NPR? They're not going to come up with anything more than they did. That was their best report they've done for a while. I mean, I have two other monkeypox clips that are kind of interesting and this is the NPR monkeypox in jail. And by the way, before you play that clip, knowing what you now know from that last report, Monkeypox in jail. How is that spread? Monkeypox has arrived in the Cook County Jail in Illinois. It confirmed its first case of an inmate with the disease this week.

25:20 And some public health experts worry the virus could spread quickly in jails and prisons throughout the country, as NPR's Martin Costi reports. People who work in corrections healthcare are having some deja vu right now. Anne Spaulding is a physician researcher at Emory University. I feel like we've just been through, in some respects, a field exercise. People are aware because of COVID that outbreaks can occur in jails and prisons. Yes, well of course and we understand how that would spread. What are they doing there? Come on John. I think you know it should put a stop to it is what they should do. Let's go over to the second part of that clip. What do you mean the guards are in on it? Here's another one by the way. Here's another thing I learned. I'm learning a lot today. Yes. There's something in here that is like what? I didn't know this was going on.

26:11 But she says the pandemic experience does not mean that jails are necessarily ready for what's coming now. Homer Venters is the former chief medical officer for New York City jails. Now he inspects conditions at correctional facilities around the country and he says the fact that monkeypox is transmitted by skin-to-skin contact makes him especially worried about the intake pens at jails. Those places are often filthy, rarely cleaned, and people are packed together very tightly, shoulder-to-shoulder, skin contact. for hours, sometimes for days. Another thing he worries about is co-pays. Many jails and prisons charge inmates nominal fees to get medical services. He says that makes some inmates reluctant to get symptoms checked out, say a rash. I strongly encourage elimination of co-pays period, but especially in times like this where we want to know when people are sick.

27:06 Some jails took that advice as COVID loomed. One of them was the South Correctional Entity, or SCORE, south of Seattle. Devon Shrum is the executive director. I'm not sure that that would have occurred to us. Medical co-pays were a pretty standard form of practice in jails and the community. But because of COVID, we looked at all of the barriers that might keep somebody from reporting symptoms. Shrum says they got rid of co-pays permanently, and that'll now help with monkey pox. Ha, co-pays? Did you know this? You know, I do know a little bit about the amount of money you need to have in jail and the whole system that's set up to send your loved one, your loved inmate money through J-Pay and these types of incredible scams. Yeah, it doesn't surprise me. I didn't know about the co-pays, but oh yeah, the whole thing is that you're in there and they bleed you dry while you're in there.

CHAPTER 08 / 40 Discussion

LGBTQ Media Terminology, Queer Men, Anal Autumn

The World Health Organization and various media outlets adopt the term "queer men" or "men who have sex with men" (MSM) in place of "gay" when discussing monkeypox risks. A clip from a Lemonada Media podcast features a guest suggesting "Anal Autumn" as a risk-reduction strategy. The hosts analyze the shift in linguistic style guides and the potential marginalization of traditional gay and lesbian identities.

28:04 It's unbelievable at copays. I thought they just had a doctor. You got sick, the doctor, you, I'm sick. Oh, well, you're gonna have to copay 20 bucks. What? I'm in jail. I'm gonna get 20 bucks. Well, you can do me a favor. Well, there's probably elements of that. Yeah, of course. But from the sounds of it, I, it just, it's, it's unbelievable. Well, this, this monkey pox has, I mean, it's a particularly in this moment in time with all of our gender divert, our gender, genderfication, oh there you go, genderfication, all the pronouns and everyone being super sensitive towards each other, that somehow, and you look at the British papers, you can make jokes about this one though.

28:56 Oh, maybe people who are at risk of getting monkeypox should go on a bum vacation. It's okay to make gay jokes about monkeypox all of a sudden, somehow. even in kind of mainstream shows. The chief of the World Health Organization said this week that queer men should limit their sexual partners. Notice it's queer men here. This is very interesting. To lower the risk. This is very interesting. Yeah. I don't know how many, you know, very, the men calling themselves queer used to be a verboten. I still don't think they use the term amongst themselves. I've only heard. Queer is the queer, is the women.

29:42 But non-binary women. Typically. Typically. At least from our clips from TikTok. TikTok is our Bible. The chief of the World Health Organization said this week that queer men should limit their sexual partners to lower the risk of infection and reduce the spread. So do you agree with that medical recommendation? Hold on a second. Now that I've heard it the second time, I'm actually annoyed by it. Yeah. It's off script. This is off script no matter what, whatever it is. You can't say queer, I mean queer men, who gave, what textbook are they, what style guide are they looking at? What AP guide are they looking at that all of a sudden instead of gay males it's queer men?

30:30 It's look this whole thing is and how did it switch over from men having sex with men to all? Jump, well, right this gay. Well, this is right to clear men This is the only one I've heard with this with I mean I have a here. This is where'd you get this? This is from in the bubble. It's uh, This is it. It's a podcast version of something. That's I think it's a... It was, it comes out of something, and that's very professionally done. It's an NPR show. NPR. Yeah. No, I'm sorry, Lemonada Media. Oh, interesting. Andy Slavitt. We know Andy Slavitt, don't we? This is Andy Slavitt. Lemonada Media? Yeah, this is one of those... They're probably using those old Gimlet Neumann mics. Exactly. This is one of those...

31:21 one of those outfits that was purchased for a lot of money or that just has a lot of investment because it does a lot of programming. Look, if you want to make money in podcasting and advertising and sponsorship, do an LGBTQQIAPK plus podcast. They will flock to you. Flock, I tell you. Because it's a checkmark for all businesses. We need to do some S in our ESG. Let's, hey, we need a LGBTQ plus podcast. Yeah, okay, let's advertise. You got it. Check. So here it is. Let's listen to, let's finally get to the point. They are, they are somehow they're, they're next level with this queer men stuff. The chief of the World Health Organization said this week that queer men should limit their sexual partners to lower the risk of infection and reduce the spread. So do you agree with that medical recommendation? We released a document, we being me and two colleagues of mine who are both MPH public health professionals,

32:24 asking, yes, for our community, until vaccine is more widespread, to consider risk reduction until we get a better biomedical response. You know, if we say cancel sex parties, close saunas, it's just not going to happen. But if we give people options, you know, I might have coined the term anal autumn, the best thing I've ever written in my entire life. If we say, hey, wait till September, October, have an anal autumn pumpkin spice latte, you know, think about using condoms, limiting your number of high risk events and sex partners. But, you know, you got to give people something to say this is temporary and options to still enjoy themselves. Anal autumn, everybody.

33:08 I was even offended by that. Yeah, but this is the thing. It's like it just seems to be okay to make all these jokes and I don't know. I have a very bad feeling about what is... whether... monkey... how monkey pox is exactly related to this, I'm unsure. But the discussion that's going around it and then as you already pointed out this is a disease uh that the majority of people who have it in this country are men who have sex with other men. Men who have sex with men. Male to male sexual contact. Men who have sex with men. Male to male sexual contact. Men who have sex with men. Men who have sex with

33:45 Men who have sex with men. Men who have sex with other men. Men who have sex with men. Men who have sex with men. Men who have sex with men. Men who have sex with men. Men who have sex with men. Men who have sex with men. Okay, so men who have sex with men is generally the term that is used. So we're not using gay anymore and it seems very confusing but it became very clear with this next clip that this is about removing gays from the LGBTQ, let's just keep it at that. So we have lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer. Removing them without having to remove the letter. You see, the LGBTQ is so embedded in everybody's brain

CHAPTER 09 / 40 Discussion

TikTok Lesbian, Gender Identity, Erasure of Homosexuality

A TikTok creator argues that the term "lesbian" is being redefined as an umbrella term that no longer exclusively applies to women attracted to women. The discussion explores how gender identity is being prioritized over biological sex and sexual orientation in modern discourse. The hosts note a lack of feedback from their gay and lesbian listeners regarding these rapid cultural shifts.

tiktok· lesbian· transphobic· gender identity· homosexuality· cdc

34:34 Yes, that's traditional. It's the, yeah, it's the OG. It wouldn't work if it's just all of a sudden it's a BTQ. You know, like what kind of shitty sandwich is that? No, LGBTQ. So they're trying to remove those people from the group by just marginalizing them into something else, another category. So you're gay. Well, you're not our gay because Because our gay is queer. I think that's where that transition comes from. So you are just men who have sex with men. And they're going to do the same thing. I think you're right. And they're going to do the same thing with the L. Eventually. This is a TikTok lesbian. Turfs. No, no, no, no, no. No, but they're all turfs. Of course they're turfs. So it's men who have sex with men and turfs. And here's a lesbian on TikTok to explain. So apparently I missed this.

35:29 Lesbian is now an umbrella term. It doesn't apply to women who are attracted to women anymore. That's been cancelled. Now, not only can lesbians be attracted to men, but they can also be men. So therefore there are no more lesbians, right? Because, well, because genital preferences are apparently transphobic. So therefore we can no longer have an actual homosexual. But, because we don't want to remove the letters from our long alphabet group, we're going to create a new definition for lesbians. Why don't you just take the L off the front of your group? I hereby petition you, since it no longer exists and it is transphobic, I hereby petition you to remove the lesbian from your group.

36:23 completely. Well of course that's not going to happen because it's their brand and they never want to lose the brand so this is a political party, this political party of queer, they should just call it that but instead... Well I think, in fact I think that's what they're going, I think that's what they're trying to do. I think they're trying to remove all those letters and go to queer. Yes, yes the queer party. And queer is, or trans, and I think they're going to have a little problem with taking it all the way to queer. I think trans is the way to go because transsexual, trans, yeah. Yeah, but trans community doesn't work that well. Transhumanism, transhumanism. What do you mean the trans community doesn't? Our trans community works very well. Let's use it in a sentence. We need more money for our trans community. We need more rights for our trans community. Here's what's disappointing.

37:22 15 years of this show, gays and lesbians have never had a problem emailing us. It's silent, John. It's silent. And why do you believe that to be the case? I think they're either... I think they're afraid. I think they see what's going on and a lot of them are trying to figure stuff out, but they're not communicating to us for some reason. But this is a cancellation of lesbians and gays. And it's like everything else, everything else that is difficult or requires some thoughtful discussion. Let's just simplify the term, you know? Well, for one thing, two things have happened.

38:12 the idea of sexuality has been removed in favor of gender. Gender studies would be this, sexuality gender studies has been moved over. Transsexual, we've already noted, is being changed to transgender. Homosexuality is not even in the mix. It's not possible. It is not possible. And that woman was pointing that out, because she's a homosexual lady. who used to describe herself, at least amongst her peers, as a lesbian, and now she can't do that. She's nailing it, she's got it. I think this is, these guys are getting a clue. And there's no gay men anymore, there's just men who have sex with men. In other words, men. Yep, there you go, there you go. And they are the source of disease? Men. Men? Source of disease? And all the problems in the world.

39:15 Yeah, well you know what's funny? This is from CDC. How does monkeypox spread? It can also be spread by respiratory secretions during prolonged face-to-face contact or during intimate physical contact such as kissing, cuddling, or sex. In addition, pregnant people can spread the virus to their fetus through the placenta. What? I thought that was exactly what couldn't happen. Well, it could be bullshit. Well, it's pregnant people. And when you say pregnant people... Exactly. This is out of control. Well, it is. It is. It's very... Nobody can... And by the way, the fact that you're getting no... Bothers me.

40:00 no information back and forth between the gays that are listeners to the show. I think everybody's is flat-footed here. This went real fast, but just look at the media. What is it about saying gay? Where was the technical memo that said it's men who have sex with men? And by the way, since when is men only a male? I mean, this is what... This has to be on purpose. This has to be, watch this, now we'll really screw them up. I mean, this has got to be some kind of psychological operation. I mean, it is, we just don't know exactly who's driving it, but it's... Yeah, who is driving it? Is it the CIA? Are they doing anything about it? Is it the FBI? Is it George Soros? I don't know.

CHAPTER 10 / 40 Discussion

Alex Jones, Apple TV Documentary, Bankruptcy Lawsuits

The hosts review a new Alex Jones documentary on Apple TV, reflecting on his historical influence and his current legal battles. While acknowledging his role in "awakening" people to globalist systems, they critique his past predictions, such as the Y2K collapse. The discussion covers his recent appearance on Steve Bannon's show and the massive financial judgments facing his companies.

alex jones· apple tv· steve bannon· y2k· globalists· bankruptcy

40:52 Is it Glenn Beck? Yeah, there you go. It's Glenn Beck. It's Alex Jones! That's who it is. By the way, I watched the Alex Jones documentary on Apple TV, which I thought was cool that Apple TV has it on there. Yeah, this is the one done by that redhead. Yes, the one from the Incel movie. And I have to say, Now, when you take it, we have an Alex Jones documentary, it's two hours long, and you have a lot of Alex Jones clips at high volume, at freak out level. After about an hour and a half, you're tired. You're just like, uh. Yeah, I think two hours is too long for a movie like that. And that's on the director. That was just too much, too many things were paced together. There is other stuff of Alex Jones. But what hit for me was, because a lot of historical footage

41:48 He was very influential on my basic awakening to what's going on in the world. I do want to recognize that. And we have played him jokingly for years, but we've always said, look, the dude is right. It did turn the frogs gay. A lot of stuff he said is right. As a genesis of awakening, I really dispute this. his importance. Maybe for you, I've found from the beginning, because I still have some old clips, I don't have them handy, of him from 1999 when the Y2K thing came about and he went live on the air and the tapes of him, if anyone can dig these up, of him going, oh, it's starting, it's beginning, and he was one of the guys that was promoting the end of the world 1999 Y2K situation. I found it,

42:37 Bull... I thought it was such bullshit. He's also done other things that I know... Wait, wait, wait, wait. Just stop there for a second. I'm not quite sure why you said as for the Genesis you dispute that. That's my... that's my Genesis. No, I said I had a dispute in being... And I indeed filled up the bathtub and had cash in my freezer. So I've also gone down the rabbit hole. So you really believed in cold cash? Yeah. So I've also gone down that rabbit hole with Alex Jones, so for good and for bad, but it definitely, I just, the only point I'm making is he was influential in some of the basics, you know, about the globalists, the globalist system, that, that, and his documentaries. I thought those, you know, those made a difference.

43:24 And now he's getting squashed like a bug. I don't know he's getting squashed. He's got a new book coming out. I thought the whole thing was well-timed, it was very well marketed. He was on Bannon's show and they're banning him. They might as well be having gay sex. Have you been following the bankruptcies of his companies and the lawsuits? Oh, Jones? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he's going to be, it's going to be tens of millions of dollars. Okay. Well that, that I'm not aware of and I didn't see this documentary, but I'm just saying he's doing a pretty good job of self promotion at the moment. And that, which is all I'm paying attention to. Oh sure, sure. But. Cause he's on band and he's got a book, which I wonder who wrote the book. There's no way he wrote it. Uh, in my humble opinion as a writer,

44:11 It seems more like something somebody else did and he attached his name to in some ghost writing fashion. And Bannon loves the guy. Yeah. And he loves Bannon. It's really something to see the two of them together. I'm thinking about monkey parks here. Could be the result. Hey now. All right. All right. Something I saw the other day at at the H-E-B here in Fredericksburg, which kind of blew me away the other day a week ago, last time I was out. They already were putting out their Halloween displays in July. In July. Isn't that a little early?

CHAPTER 11 / 40 Discussion

Hershey Chocolate Shortage, Ukraine War Impact

Hershey warns of a potential shortage of Kit Kats and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups ahead of the Halloween season. The company attributes supply chain struggles and ingredient shortages partly to the ongoing war in Ukraine. The hosts question the link between Ukrainian exports and chocolate production, suggesting the news may be a form of native advertising or corporate excuse-making.

hershey· kit kat· reese's· halloween· ukraine· supply chain

44:52 I would say it's at least two months early. Yeah. So I don't know if this is a month or I mean, you could put it out so people can get prepared if they want to really well, there's something up their place. But that makes no sense. You know, they every single day they got to go outside, they got to put up all the Halloween stuff that they have for sale. And no one's in the Halloween mode yet. But OK, maybe they're trying to dump inventory. They're afraid they're not going to get rid of doesn't matter. In the United States, we don't care about anything, particularly when it comes to our food. We just don't care what we eat. And that's because we get stories like this. Tonight, Hershey, one of the world's largest chocolate makers, is warning of a shortage of Kit Kats, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and other sweets this Halloween as it struggles to ramp up supply. Hershey said lack of key ingredients can be blamed in part on the war in Ukraine. Halloween accounts for about a tenth of Hershey's annual sales. They do cocoa now in Ukraine? Interesting.

45:53 So that's what we do. I mean, what do they do in Ukraine? It's going to they don't grow peanuts. Oh, but this is this bull crap. This is just more a pre. Yeah, this is a promotion of native ad. That's what I was an HGB being. I have a native ad today. Well, I was going to talk about some food stuff because I have a Dutch farmer I'd like us to listen to. OK, let's go that way, because and this this Dutch farmer, his name is Jeroen van Maanden. He is a longer time listeners of the NOAAgenda show will love it because he speaks what we call steenkola Engels, which is the OG black coal English, which means raw and in your face, which is very much the way I've always portrayed the Dutch people speaking. You nail it. Yes. OK. Your best voice. Well, this guy. Except for the grumpy guy who's who's always emailing us. Well, this guy.

CHAPTER 12 / 40 Discussion

Dutch Farmer Protests, Nitrogen Pollution, Jeroen van Maanden

Dutch dairy farmer Jeroen van Maanden explains the motivations behind the ongoing farmer protests in the Netherlands. He argues that the government is unfairly targeting the agricultural sector for nitrogen emissions while ignoring industry and traffic. Van Maanden claims the "nitrogen crisis" is a 30-year-old narrative being used to force a transition away from animal farming.

netherlands· jeroen van maanden· nitrogen· farmer protests· pollution· climate change

46:54 This guy is the OG when it comes to that. Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, this is Jeroen van Maanen. I'm a dairy farmer from Zeewolde, a city in the middle of the Netherlands. Someone asked me if I could send a message what's going on in Holland, what's all about these farmer protests and why are Dutch farmers angry? I mean, is this guy compelling to listen to or what? Well, he says Dutch instead of Dutch, like you say. Well, okay, it's a variation. I mean, he's anglicized. He's doing better than most, but...

47:31 It's a great voice and very understandable. Yeah, we do need to know that these the protests have not stopped. You know, the protests in the Netherlands, it continues to block roadways. There is strife. A lot of and of course, I'm just looking at Twitter and news stories. A lot of Dutch people are now like, well, you know, OK, we understand you because they don't. We understand your problem, farmer. But, you know, can you stop now because you're ruining my day and they don't really understand. So it's farmers like this who are trying to Explain to the Dutch people how bad this is. Well, the farmer protests are already here since two and a half years. The first of October 2019 was the first time Dutch farmers had a very big protest. We all went to the Hague. And actually, there was more like some protest.

48:21 About the wind which was blowing already probably for 30 years. See I love this. I love these old-school sayings. It was like the wind that was blowing for 30 years. What does that mean? It's something that... Boiling under the surface? Yeah. Oh, it's been boiling under the surface. Yes, the wind has been blowing this way for 30 years. Exactly. By the way, as I listen to this guy and I think of the way you do this voice, I have a suggestion. Okay. And I noticed it, I just noticed it, but now that I think about it, I think all these guys do that. And this one thing you leave out, which is the long, ah. It's a moment when you're translating in your head and instead of saying anything, you become like a kind of, it's similar to the Berklee Hummer where you always have to be making noise. And it's this long, while you're thinking, ah. So there's always sound coming out. Okay.

49:21 Okay, I'll bear that in mind for my next time I'm shaking We all went to the Hague and actually there was more like some protest About the wind weather which was blowing already probably for 30 years that somewhere. There's a problem in the environment There's a problem with pollution Agriculture sector gets pointed at as main cause of all problems. There you go After that, after the biggest protest, nitrogen problems came up and nitrogen problems aren't new. 30 years ago already, nature people started talking about nitrogen pollution which would make the rain sour and all this sour rain would cause lots of damage to the nature parks, to forests.

50:10 And when you would hear these voices, all the nature would be gone in a few years. Well, 30 years later, nature's still there. Most of it is in excellent condition. So just like every other climate change bullshit story, you know, this has been going on for 30 years. Oh, by the time we hit 2022, you know, there's going to be nature will be destroyed. And the farmer says, here you go. And he's standing in front of his cows who all look pretty happy and tasty, actually. In two and a half years people start talking about nitrogen emission, ammonia from the agriculture sector. There is also nitrogen pollution because of the traffic, because of the industry, nitrogen oxides.

50:53 But we don't talk about it a lot. When the nitrogen problem is called in Holland, it's focusing most of the times on the agriculture sector only. Okay, so that's his background. I would say that's a better background than you've seen anywhere on television. Any M5M news report. Well, from that perspective for sure. They're not going to tell you that. So, and this is a longer clip, but that's the only other one I have. Because the guy went on for 10 minutes, which, you know, well worth it. In the show notes, you'll find a link.

CHAPTER 13 / 40 Discussion

Netherlands Land Use, Refugee Housing, National Herd Reduction

The Dutch government's plan to reduce the national herd by 50% is criticized as a "stick to beat the dog" to seize farmland. Farmer Jeroen van Maanden suggests the real agenda is to acquire cheap land for nature preserves and housing for 100,000 refugees entering the country annually. The hosts discuss the global implications of these policies on food security and property rights.

netherlands· nitrogen· national herd· refugees· housing crisis· land grab

51:31 So the industry came up with solutions years ago and wanted to propose, in fact, propose those. And none of those were good enough. So he's going to tell a little bit about the industry solutions and then versus what the government was doing. And he'll take it all the way home and explain what is really happening here, which we kind of know. But it's good to hear it from a farmer himself who obviously is not stupid. Well it started, the agriculture sector came together, all parties like the dairy industry, pork industry, chicken industry, you could ever call whatever industries came together, made a big plan. There was a lot of solutions in it and we tried to solve the problem. Our government in the meanwhile went on with making other plans which resulted in

52:20 The latest new plan, few weeks ago, and it's terrible, it's idiot, and it's of no use. I gotta remember that. It's terrible, it's idiot, and it's of no use. Exactly! What they did is they divided Holland in different regions. Some regions have to lower their emissions by 12%, some regions have to lower their emissions by 46, 75 or 95%. In the meanwhile, our juridical system is... He said juridical, which means the legal system. This on this moment that no innovations in agriculture sector are allowed to use.

52:59 So there are different techniques for lowering your emissions, but when you are asked for a court and a judge will look into your innovations, they will say you can't use it. So the only reason, the only thing to lower your emissions right now is just cutting your herd back. And actually you're probably coming at the main cause of it all, Stick, uh, nitrogen is more like we call it stick to beat the dog. It's just to camouflage the real- I don't think I've ever taught you this one. Stick to beat the dog? Stick to beat the dog! It's a great one. What's it, what's it, what's it refer to?

53:46 Well, it's a saying from the old country of course, but what it means is nitrogen is just used as a stick to beat the dog. So it's a camouflage. Yes, the farmers are the dog and nitrogen is just the latest stick they're using to beat the dog. Which kind of leads me to think about the Dutch mind had been really cruel to dogs back in the day. Probably, a lot of people are cruel to dogs. It's a real problem worldwide. That's a problem, yeah. And the main cause of it all Nitrogen is more like, we call it stick to beat the dog. It's just to camouflage the real cause. Some left-wing parties in Holland and probably all over the world, it's the same movement. They want to get rid of animal industries. They want to have a transition to more plant-based food, transition to vegetarians. We have all the stuff together.

54:42 In Holland we also have a party like that and they ask for 50% reduction of our national herd. That's probably on this moment the main cause of it all. We're not talking about nitrogen, no, they just want to reduce the national herd. Well every farmer all around the world and also every citizen knows that cutting back the herd isn't the cause of any problems. You know, we are producing food, Two-thirds of agricultural land on the planet can only be grown by grass and you need cows like this for making grass into meat or into milk or whatever you want. Whatever problem with emissions, with pollution on the world you are asking about, whether it's not chemical, but farming is probably a part of the problem, but most of it all it's part of the solution.

55:35 Dutch farmers are getting angrier every day. The government is not listening. We are fearing that we have to leave our land. That's also a deeper agenda behind it. In Holland they just want to have farmers' land. 62% of the area in Holland is farmed by farmers. And what they want to do is they want to have the land cheap, so they're making it nature first. And when they have the land in their hands, they can build houses on it. Houses we don't need by Dutch citizens, because average Dutch couple is getting 1.8, 1.9 kids. So what's the problem of the demand for houses that we get 100,000 refugees in this country every year?

56:24 That's why they have to build houses. Well, that's a shortcut of our problems right now. Farmers are getting angry. They're not listened by by the government. Every solution we came home with, they don't take it. And what we see right now when we have to reduce our national herd, when we have to reduce our herds by ourselves, farms will break down. On this moment, when the plan of the government is coming true, probably 30, 40, 50% of the farmers have to fear for their future. That's why we're on the streets, that's why we're protesting, that's why the protestors are going harder. And actually quite happily all around the world people start looking at Holland, what's happening there. Well, what a warning from the Dutch farmers is that every citizen from Holland especially, but also in Europe, probably around the globe,

57:17 have to look at what do we want to have to eat in a few years time. Apologies for the length but I feel this really kind of set it all up. Now you know what's going on, why they're pissed off and it's a worldwide problem. Well the joke's on him because nobody's paying attention to this over here anymore. We got our few days of stories and that was it. Well it's not a joke. Well, it's a joke on him. Yeah, it's alright. He thinks that people are paying attention and they've decided to quash this information. I, you know, until you brought this up, I'm glad you did, even though it was lengthy, it was still amusing, because it brought to the attention of our producers that this is ongoing. Yeah. And I was thinking about this, you know,

CHAPTER 14 / 40 Discussion

California Fallow Land, Wildfire Risk, Spam Shortage

The reduction of grazing cattle on California hillsides is linked to increased wildfire risks as grass goes uneaten and becomes fuel. Meanwhile, Scientific American reports that high-protein diets contribute to nitrogen pollution through human waste. In New York City, retailers are reportedly locking up Spam in plastic cases to prevent theft amidst rising food costs.

california· wildfires· cattle· spam· nitrogen· scientific american

58:05 I was driving up to North and most of them, once you get past, El Sobrante, or actually around El Sobrante, almost all the way up to, you drive all the way to Sacramento. It's all fallow hillsides filled with grass that's gonna burn. It burns and burns and burns constantly. That used to have some cattle on it. It did used to have a lot, but there were heads of cattle here and there, and they'd be munching away on the grass, and we didn't have as many fires.

58:41 Because you can't farm on this land. I mean, you might be able to put a vineyard on there, you know, but it's just, it's like he said, most of the land is grassland. And there's tons of it. And you can put in a bunch of animals on there and they'll eat that grass instead of letting it just burn. And then turn it into milk and cheese and meat. It's amazing. Now instead, now instead of paying attention to that, we have spam being locked up in plastic cases in New York City because people are stealing the spam because you know that's good food. And Scientific American reports eating too much protein makes pee a problem pollutant in the US. Oh yeah. This is, you eating meat is peeing nitrogen, slave. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

59:33 And anyway, there's a there's a recipe going around for space. I saw it on the TV. It's spam French fries. It's you take the spam from the can. I've never yet, you know, to be honest, but I have never eaten spam in my life. I don't know. I don't think I have either. But but I would try this. They cut the spam into strips and then you do the triple, you know, your flour, it egg wash, panko, deep fat fry. Yeah. You know, I give that a shot. What is spam? Spam is a whole hog ground up, it's a mixture of unedible meat from a pig. Is this shit no one else wanted? Is that it basically? Well it's seasoned deliciously I understand.

CHAPTER 15 / 40 Discussion

Bill Maher, Population Control, Global Resource Scarcity

Comedian Bill Maher delivers a "New Rule" segment arguing that the Earth's population reaching 8 billion is a catastrophe for the climate. He advocates for fewer humans to reduce impact on resources like clean air, soil, and even sand used for concrete. Maher mocks Elon Musk's concerns about population collapse, aligning himself with Malthusian views on sustainability.

bill maher· united nations· population growth· elon musk· carbon footprint· sand shortage

1:00:25 But the root, the root of all of this is still the globalists who believe that climate change and all our problems are happening because we have too many people. That's still the root of this. Did you see Bill Maher? Oh, I missed it. Oh my goodness. Did he go off the rails? Yes, I've clipped it for you since... I'm glad you clipped it. Let's go. So this is one of his new rules. I just took a piece of this long rant, so stop whenever you want. Oh, you know me. Here we go. And finally, new rule, the recent report that informed us that... Sorry, before I start that. He was on hiatus

1:01:09 So he was away for a month. And I think he had a little talking to, you know, kind of that chat that the mansion got in the basement when he had COVID. That Boris Johnson had when he was in the hospital with COVID. It's the kind of talking to that's best exemplified by the movie Network. Yes, exactly. When Ned Beatty brings in... Gets his talking to. Ned Beatty does the talking. Then it maybe does a talking to the host. It's the way of the world All right So here's Bill Maher after a talking to back from hiatus and finally new roll the recent report that informed us that in November of this year the population of the earth will hit 8 billion is not good news

1:01:54 And those who are regarded as such should be treated for TikTok brain. The Secretary General of the United Nations of all people said that welcoming our 8 billionth person was an occasion to celebrate our diversity. Yes, what a comfort that people of all races will be contributing to an already unsustainable carbon footprint and choking and starving equally. Now listen to the crowd, oh yes! Too many people, we're all gonna die. Yay! Funny man! Have you seen what is happening with the- Hey, earlier in that clip when he says United Nations, it almost says United States. Oh, let me hear that. And those who are regarded as such should be treated for TikTok brain. It was before that. The Secretary General of the United Nations- Yeah, you're right. That's right.

1:02:50 Secretary General of the United States. States, that's exactly what he was thinking. Move back to where we were. And starving equally. Have you seen what has been happening with the climate in recent years? Did you see England last week? England is pretty far north, but the runways are melting. Our farmland is shrinking due to scorching temperatures and drought. One out of four people on earth is food insecure. What we used to call hungry. And billions face some form of water scarcity. Water isn't the only thing we're running out of. Clean air, quality soil, rainforests, wetlands, the precious metals that make our phones work. We're even running out of sand. Sand.

1:03:44 Which may not seem important, but without it you can't make concrete or glass like for windows So you can look outside and see the world ending Clap clap Nihilists. All of this is not unrelated to there being ever more people on earth who tend to use things. Tracy Stone Manning is our director of the Bureau of Land Management and she said if there were fewer of us we would have less impact. We must consume less and more importantly we must breed fewer consuming humans. Yes, I thought this was a... Useless eaters.

1:04:28 Well, yeah, we can stop it here. Exactly. This is what he feels. Humans. Yes, I thought this was a duh. And until very recently, it was. But now there's a growing movement of people more worried about population decline. Decline. That's what we should be celebrating. But Elon Musk says, the biggest problem the world will face in 20 years is population collapse. Oh, come on, of all the excuses not to wear a condom. So he went on for quite a while. But this kind of begs the question, I mean, is this now just accepted all of a sudden? That climate change and all the adverse weather events, which by the way, are more frequent and more severe than ever before in history.

1:05:22 That is because we have too many people. That is, that's it. I mean, that's basically what he's saying and he sounds all in on it to me. Well, for a guy with this amount of money, he has that he can donate $1 million to a campaign of Barack Obama. This is pretty elitist. This is like, I'm in, you know, I'm in the boat to shut the hatch. Yeah. Yeah, that's pretty obvious. I don't know how far this is going. Luckily, the only people that nobody is paying attention to this, as you like to point out, because you like watching Water's World's Man on the Street. Yes, I do. I don't think anybody is paying as much attention to this as they'd like to believe.

1:06:12 Well, then only too many people. If you went to the man on the street, how many people are there in the world and how much can the world sustain? Or if you just fly over Arizona? Yeah. You know. Oh, well, you see, do things come to mind. There's a lot of room, A and B. There's a lot of sand, too. I'd like to know where this sand thing comes from. We're running out of sand. That'll be the day. No, you know what that is. That's the erosion story, I think. There's several islands that have erosion, but it turns out that the erosion is happening because sand is being sucked up offshore for sale. And that's the black market in sand. I mean, sand is being stolen from countries and they're going to tip over these islands. Yeah, they'll flip right over. They'll flip right over. But I understand what you're saying, but at least the people who listen to this podcast care, because this has got, I mean, yes, he went on for another three minutes,

1:07:12 discrediting exactly what you were saying. And then there's these idiots who think that there's enough space. Yes, space. It's not like that. Where are you going to get your water from? Where are you going to get your, your, your, your, your cell. You could just get close. I'm working on it. Sound like him. That's the kind of cadence he has. Where are you going to get this from? We can get that from, okay. Get that from your, from your MAGA crowd. Working on it. I'm feeling good about my my Bill Maher. Yeah, I'm actually it's when you're because you don't do impressions. No, this is well known. Except for the generalized Dutch voice. Yes. Well, speaking of extreme weather, should we just stick with climate change for a moment since it's kind of what's next after the monkey pox blows over?

CHAPTER 16 / 40 Discussion

NBC News, Climate Change Supercharging, Biblical Rains

NBC Nightly News attributes extreme weather events, including heat waves in the Pacific Northwest and "biblical" rains in Kentucky and St. Louis, to human-induced global warming. Scientists claim that warmer air holds more moisture, "supercharging" rainstorms into one-in-a-thousand-year events. The hosts critique the sensationalist language used by the media to link every weather anomaly to greenhouse gases.

nbc news· climate change· kentucky· st. louis· flooding· heat wave

1:08:01 Uh, yeah. You got any? I got a few climate stuff here. Hold on. It has been a most unusual week. Wildfires threatening Yosemite, scorching heat baking the Pacific Northwest. Baking! Baking! Did she say baking? Baking. You're in the Pacific Northwest, aren't you? Or not really? I have a place in the Pacific Northwest and it's been hot for a week. Are they baking? I'm asking you, this is NBC, so I take them seriously. Are they baking in the Pacific Northwest? Let me give you a perspective because Mimi's up there and she's stuck up there. So.

1:08:37 It's been raining and it's been freezing cold. Coldest month in the history of the state, July, in Washington. And now there's a heat wave, it just flipped the switch, and for about a week, and it's continuing until next Monday I believe, it's been hot. Today I think, and what was yesterday's baking hot heat? 85. It has been a most unusual week. Wildfires threatening Yosemite, scorching heat baking the Pacific Northwest, biblical rains and floods in the nation's midsection. Biblical rains, John? Biblical? You mean like Noah? Like the ark?

1:09:18 Yeah, we need an ARC. What are you getting this? This is NBC nightly news. NBC has gotten worse. I think they've gotten better because this is hilarious. All the hallmarks of climate change. It's the hallmarks. What is a hallmark? Is it just a mark in the hallway? Yes, this is where people used to pee. This is exactly the fingerprint, the signature that we would expect with global warming due to the increase in greenhouse gases from human activities. But even climate scientists are surprised by the intensity. Breaking these temperature records, for example, by so far several degrees.

1:10:00 goes beyond what we expected at this point. The earth has warmed almost 2 degrees since 1880 with most of the warming happening since 1975. Warmer air can hold more moisture and so produce more rain. Does climate change create an environment that makes rainfall more intense? Climate change creates an environment that supercharges rainstorms. And that means when conditions are right, we can get these catastrophic rain events several inches per hour. This week, Kentucky endured deadly one in a thousand year rain and flood events.

1:10:37 One in a thousand. I had not heard this either. I have heard that. One in a thousand. Rain and flood events. I'm going to lose everything I have for sure. But it's It's better than losing my life. Precipitation events are now more frequent and intense across the country, with the biggest increases in the Northeast and Midwest. On Tuesday, St. Louis got more than twice as much rain in a single day as it does in an average month of July. Historic statistics in a mind-boggling week showing us the future is now. The future is now. So now they can predict the future.

1:11:17 Can I ask you something? Yeah. If it's once in a thousand years that means it must have happened a thousand years ago. Was there global warming then? Well, you know... They might have had biblical rains. Was there global... Okay, there was. There was biblical rains. That's what happened. Yeah. Was there global warming then? Was there global warming? No. In fact, I like the biblical. I'll take it. That's right. It's an act of God, not of people. Shut up. I'd take that. I'd take that any day. But luckily we have solace. There is help is on the way, people. This is good, good news if we can get it all together, because we took that Joe Manchin rat bastard. We took him. He got his COVID. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. We took him down to the basement. Good old Chuckie Schumer roughed him up. Today, Senate Democrats are rallying behind a deal that would make the largest climate investment in U.S. history.

CHAPTER 17 / 40 Discussion

Inflation Reduction Act, Joe Manchin, Prescription Drug Costs

Senator Joe Manchin reaches a deal with Chuck Schumer on the Inflation Reduction Act, which includes $369 billion for climate initiatives and healthcare subsidies. The bill proposes allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices and caps out-of-pocket expenses for seniors at $2,000. Critics argue the bill's name is misleading and that it primarily serves to increase government spending.

We took him down to the basement. Good old Chuckie Schumer roughed him up. Today, Senate Democrats are rallying behind a deal that would make the largest climate investment in U.S. history.

1:12:14 provide tax credits for buying electric vehicles, and lower health care premiums for millions of Americans. It came after a sudden reversal from moderate Democratic Senator Joe Manchin, who just days ago upended talks over concerns about inflation. But now he's on board. I just felt there was an opportunity here to really give us an energy policy with security that we need for our nation, but also driving down the prices, the high price of gasoline, driving down inflation was my number one goal. Yeah. And so what they really did here is they pretty much just renamed it the Inflation Reduction Act. And it's like, oh yeah, that's cute. That's all they really did. And this, this boob.

1:12:52 thinks that by spending more money you're going to reduce inflation. Okay. Well, he actually got himself a deal, some sort of a free money to West Virginia, like a lot of it. Oh no, he did great for the state, but don't give me this bull crap. Oh yeah, no, he's lying. Yeah, no, it's bull crap. These guys are all liars. Well, it seems now that he, unlike what you would hope, You know, hey, here's kind of a moderate guy. It's weird that a Democrat is running a red state like West Virginia to begin with. And, you know, he's like, hey, you know, I'm not going to participate in this stuff that's going to hurt my state. And so maybe this is a little bit of a moderate Democrat. We could use that on all sides of our political discourse. And it turns out, no, he's just a lying whore like the rest. And what he did is

1:13:46 He uses, he wants power. He wants to be the guy who makes it happen. It seems obvious from this statement that he makes. It was my number one goal. The bill includes $369 billion to fight climate change, $64 billion to lower premiums for Americans buying their own health insurance. Medicare would be allowed to negotiate the price of prescription drugs. How? Didn't Trump do this already? Didn't we fix all that? We were the most favored nation status. Or was that all executive order that they turned back? What happened? This, I don't know, this drug thing, they keep doing it, it doesn't change a thing. No!

1:14:26 that I've seen, whether Trump did something or these guys are trying to do something, it's bull crap. The pharma guys, they run the roost. The bankers are top, they're the top guys and they're intertwined with the military industrial complex and they're the front men for them. And then the pharma guys are second, they're second. Sick of bananas, but they're up there. Medicare would be allowed to negotiate the price of prescription drugs, passing along the savings to consumers. And seniors would pay less for medication, with out-of-pocket expenses capped at $2,000. It would be paid for by raising taxes on big corporations and the wealthy. What kind of a deal is out-of-pocket expenses capped at $2,000? It's almost what you get in jail.

1:15:16 You co-pay. Two thousand dollars? Holy mackerel! Yeah. Yeah, you won't pay, don't worry, you won't have to pay more than two thousand dollars. Well, notice who's reading it, you know, a well-paid news model. It's all fine. She's reading right through it. She's plowing right through instead of stopping and saying, kind of a deal is this. And seniors would pay less for medication without a pocket expenses cap to $2,000. Seniors. That's for the seniors. Who knows what everybody else is going to have to pay. Expenses cap to $2,000. It would be paid for by raising taxes on big corporations and the wealthy. If the bill passes, it would be a huge victory for president Biden.

CHAPTER 18 / 40 Discussion

IRS Funding, Kyrsten Sinema, Senate Filibuster Rules

The Inflation Reduction Act includes $129 billion for increased IRS enforcement, raising concerns about the harassment of middle-class taxpayers. Senator Kyrsten Sinema remains a holdout as Democrats attempt to pass the bill through the reconciliation process to bypass the 60-vote filibuster. The hosts discuss the political maneuvering required to keep all 50 Democratic senators present and healthy for the vote.

irs· kyrsten sinema· chuck schumer· filibuster· reconciliation· tax enforcement

1:15:56 they leave out the $129 billion for the IRS police, $129 billion to go enforce taxation law. What are the chances they're going to surround Wall Street and besiege them for the paperwork? Or is this just going to result in more harassment of the middle class, basically? Because, you know, we can send agents out into bars and restaurants and see how many people are eating and see if they're probably lying about their income. Yeah, that's what they're going to do. Go into stores. Let me see. I see more product here than is being rung up. They also sit there with a counter and they check the tips. Oh yeah. Clickety click, they'll follow you home.

1:16:41 They'll look at your car, they'll look at your social media, there's going to be a lot of that. Oh, so you're on vacation there, huh? Hmm. Let's just see if we think you can afford that. And then the one thing that I think this, well, let me finish this report. Who today insisted it would help fight inflation in a way Americans will feel. But simply put, The bill will lower health care costs for millions of Americans. It will be the most important investment, not hyperbole, the most important investment... Not hyperbole, which means it's hyperbole. ...we've ever made in our energy security.

1:17:22 So what's left open there is the 15% corporate tax, which is not defined, of course, in any documents I've seen yet. But what that is, is part of the global, globalist corporation tax, which is pegged at 15%. Would you agree? Yeah, coincidence. Coincidence, I think not. And then we have the carried interest loophole. which is a multi, like $50 billion annual boon for money people. They don't have to pay taxes or they pay capital gains taxes over the way they make money versus if you're just selling a product in your store, you pay income tax.

1:18:09 But this will all be used for someone who we were wondering about. And I think that she has now popped her head up. We were just saying, where is Sinema? And there she is. But to pass, the bill needs the support of all 50 Senate Democrats. And tonight, Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona won't say if she's voting yes. Do you have the steel? Are you comfortable with the tax increases? Excuse us, guys. Have you spoken to the president about it? But after more than a year of stalled negotiations, the leader of the House Progressives says they are on board. I think we should get this done. The American people deserve it.

1:18:45 We need to we need to show them that we can deliver. Let's just get it done All right, so let's bring in Rachel Scott as we always do and Rachel for this to pass They need every single Democrat in the Senate, of course to vote Yes, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer telling Democrats in so many words to stay focused and to stay healthy Yes, David Schumer not only needs the support of all 50 Senate Democrats, but he also needs them to be physically present here on Capitol Hill in order to vote on that legislation. As of now, Senators Joe Manchin and Dick Durbin are recovering from COVID-19. That could complicate the timeline for Democrats who are looking to get this bill passed by the end of next week, David. So Sinema, Sinema sees her moment. Yeah, well, she should.

1:19:30 I'm surprised some other senator doesn't stick their head up and try to, you know, get some attention, but they haven't got the guts to do it. They're afraid they're going to get voted out. So I don't know what the chances are of this passing at all. It's going to pass. You think? Although the one thing they're leaving out of all these reports is still has to go to the secretary, the person who can decide whether they can do this on a majority vote. It's still unclear. It may need 60 votes. Oh, that stipulation. Oh, and they're not talking about it. Why would that be? Why would they need 60 votes? Because you need 60 votes to pass anything in the Senate. That's just the filibuster rule. That's why they have this 60 vote minimum. You can't just vote with simple majorities. You can't do it unless there's exceptions made specifically for these things.

1:20:23 And there are some exceptions for certain kinds of bills that have already been built in, and they're trying to analyze whether this bill would be one of those exceptions. It doesn't look like it is necessarily. A reconciliation bill or something like that? Yeah, something like that. Some version of that. And they're always discussing it, so like it's a done deal. Yeah. Well, I can't wait to see what those climate funds will be used for. Just to line someone's pockets. With that I'd like to thank you for your courage saying the morning to you the man who put the C in the crazy sex parties in San Francisco. Please welcome John C. Dvorak. Well, in the morning industry, curls, all the moody suits you see, boots and graphic vests, underwear, they're all the dames and knights out there. In the morning to you, trolls, there in the troll room at trollroom.io. Nice to see y'all.

CHAPTER 19 / 40 Discussion

No Agenda Stream, Troll Room, Podcast Art Critique

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak discuss the growth of the "Troll Room" and the No Agenda Social Mastodon server. They critique the recent episode artwork, specifically a "TV Guide" parody by Correct-A-Record, debating whether the reference is too dated for modern audiences. The hosts emphasize the importance of the "value for value" model and the unique role of artists in the show's ecosystem.

1:21:22 The trolls hang out in the troll room because that's the place to be on Thursdays and Sundays What else you gonna do at work? Come on, man. Get hop in the troll room troll around This is where everyone listens to the shows live 24 7 we have no agenda stream calm running and you'll find your troll room and the stream right there it at troll room dot io or use one of those funky fresh brand new podcast apps pod verse and Podverse, CurioCaster, a couple of them already use the live functionality. So the podcast app you use to list to the podcast will alert you, tell you, hey, they're going live and you open it up right there in your app and you've got the chat room, you've got the live stream and you got the trolls. You can be a part of that. Let me see how many trolls we have with us today. Come on, trolls, scurry out of the way there.

1:22:09 2303 for today. Ooh, that's pretty good. That's a we're averaging 22 on Sunday. So that's nice jump. Nice jump. Well, good to have you all here. Of course, you can also follow us at no agenda social.com. It is a mastodon server. You can no longer join, although we're gonna we're probably gonna do a purge again pretty soon. I think we have room for maybe 1500 new accounts. since people leave and some bot stuff. And so I'll have to talk to Aaron or about that, but I think we're ready to do another opening. But in the meantime, you can get an account at any Mastodon server and follow John C. Dvorak at noagendasocial.com. Follow me, Adam, at noagendasocial.com. And once you follow us, you'll see that everything will start to flow in. You can follow other people from there. And those are not email addresses. You're shouting into the wind, Dvorak.

1:23:01 People will never hear what you just said. Of course, we want to thank the artists for episode 1472 and we chose a piece which was done by Correct-A-Record who was just on fire. We did have a dispute about this one, but this is the No Agenda TV Guide Season Finale poster. Tune in to the show trial that Correct-A-Record brought. Was this one of our few choices? Because I can recall we were like... I'll tell you a couple of things. One, you did not like this. I didn't say you didn't hate it, but here's what your comment was. It was...

1:23:42 I said, I like it because it's got, I liked it right away. Because it's got this TV Guide looking thing, with the Noah Genna logo in the background. And your comment was, nobody knows what that means anymore. That's not even, no, no, no, nobody knows what that means anymore. And I would tend to kind of agree, but we have such a broad ranging audience. But your argument was that the TV Guide logo is so old and so old, and unused and unrecognizable that you're going to reject the peace. So a version of that is true. I thought that TV Guide was probably not as widely known anymore. I could be wrong. I like the way you downplay it. I like the way you upplay it. When I went to TVGuide.com, the traditional TV rounded corner screen logo is no more. They don't even use the logo themselves anymore. It's just a red square now.

1:24:43 Which is ludicrous, but okay. Now the other piece that I like that you rejected from some other reason was it was Capitalist Agenda's Recession Motel, which I just thought was a good piece of art. It was cute. No, I know why I rejected that. Yeah, you rejected it because you thought it was biased and political. Because it had a donkey on the top. Yeah. And the Democrats didn't cause the recession. That's factually untrue. Neither did the Republicans. The Federal Reserve caused the recession. So, and I, you know, we have no agenda. So we just have this donkey up there. It's like we're making fun of... How often have we ever used the dumb, the dumb elephant in art? Never. I think we have. It's both at the same time, yes.

1:25:37 It was a nice piece. There's nothing wrong with that. But yeah, I took exception to that. You're correct. You took exception. Exception. The one I liked the most was the mask up down low. The guy with the mask on his butt. I mean, that's the one I wanted. And you vetoed it. Why? What do you have against butts? Yeah, because I thought it was mediocre art. And then I noticed since then that it was I think it may have been lifted from someplace else. I think everyone's doing it now. Yeah. It may have been lifted or everyone's just doing it. I'd seen it around. Let's see, what other things were there? It wasn't, it was really a poor showing. Yeah, it wasn't a huge amount. Maybe people are sick of listening to our critique. No, you know what it is, I think the content of that particular show was not lending itself to some cool art. Yeah, that can be true. That can be true.

1:26:33 You can follow along with this art and this spectacular contest that artists hold amongst themselves. It's a big part of our value for value proposition. The work that our artists do that bring us fresh artwork for every single episode is not even taken into account in podcast surveys. I was reading a survey recently talking about album art and what people find important in album art. The only consideration is it should be art. It's always the same art. And it might have, people say, oh, it would be good to know which guest is on the show or some shit like that. I guess kind of the way Rogan does it.

1:27:16 But to me it's like, no, that's completely wrong. This is, this is, it's like liner notes are back. You know, remember you bought a song and then you had an album and you had the cover and the liner notes and this and cool photos and stuff. That's what this is. By the way, how many, how many Beatles albums have you seen with the exact same cover? Yeah. Right. Yeah, we are the Beatles of podcasting. Take it. Think about it. Think about that. Let that sink in. Think about it. Let that sink in. Let it sink in. Marinate in that, will ya?

1:27:52 So artists are very important to us near and dear and we thank... Let me make sure I got it right. Was it Correct the Record for bringing us the artwork for episode 1472? Yes, he's on his way to... He's had hat tricks so he can do it again. And of course you can also see these in the new podcast apps new podcast apps calm the artwork goes along in sync with what's going on on the show It's well worth it and easy to find sections when you're looking for it later on. Thanks again artists We love you. No agenda art generator calm and now we're having all it. No I'm holding episode 1252 a donkey standalone donkey wearing a mask

1:28:40 And having a set of the stars across it was a Chinese star with the four other stars. Donkey. Ah, but that's different. That's saying the Communist Party and the Democrats are working together, whatever we were talking about on that show. Yeah. Okay. Well, I stand corrected. I'm still looking at it. I'm going to give you credit because I'm actually stunned how few, how seldom is the word I'm looking for. Any either the donkey or the elephant's been used. That's the only one I can find. Because we're inherently kind of nonpolitical. That's why we don't do that. Well, we are nonpolitical, but

CHAPTER 20 / 40 Discussion

Executive Producer Donations, Knighting Ceremony, Sir Stonk Straider

A series of high-value donations are acknowledged, including a significant contribution from Jeremy Cleary, who is dubbed Sir Stonk Straider of the Philly suburbs. Other producers from Portland, Long Island, and Colorado contribute to the show, sharing personal anecdotes about meetups and birthdays. The hosts perform the traditional knighting rituals and play requested jingles for the donors.

What difference at this point does it make? That's what I'd like to know. Here she comes. Be careful. You've got karma. Oh man, she's still swooping. Okay, episode 949. Artist, comic strip blogger did an elephant. And what was the art? It was an elephant, just an elephant looking at you. The episode title was Brosplosion.

1:41:26 I've been listening for a long time. I couldn't even see it. I've been listening for a long time, well certainly before episode 1300, and decided I just needed to stop being a douchebag and donate. Yes, please de-douche me. You've been de-douched. I'm sending a row of ducks with one underwater. Oh, that's what the 26 is for. Because I'm a dude named Ben dealing with customer network operations issues.

Crashing is, you know, if it goes down 10 percent, that's not a crash. That's crashing by most people's standards when it comes to real estate. So it's probably down a little bit.

1:49:50 And it depends on where he is. If he's in Seattle, it shouldn't be changing that much. And I don't think he is.

CHAPTER 22 / 40 Discussion

Paxlovid Rebound, Alberta Unknown Deaths, Vaccine Skepticism

President Biden experiences a "rebound" COVID-19 infection after taking Pfizer's Paxlovid, a phenomenon some producers suggest is more common than reported. In Alberta, Canada, "unknown causes" became the leading cause of death in 2021, surpassing dementia and COVID-19. The hosts criticize the media for failing to investigate potential links between these trends and mass vaccination campaigns.

paxlovid· joe biden· alberta· unknown causes· vaccine· pfizer· merck

1:51:42 Yes, all right. All right. Let me see. I think we should do a quick little update on bad things with the vaccine just so we stay up to speed because this is not going away. The evidence is just too big. There seems to be issues with vaccinated people are getting sick. Let's make sure we start from the beginning with Biden. COVID again. President Biden says in a tweet he is again positive for COVID, though he's experiencing no symptoms. As NPR's Tamara Keith reports, Biden's physician says that after several days of tasting negative, he tested positive this morning.

1:52:34 Dr. Kevin O'Connor had been on the lookout for what's known as a rebound infection. When Biden first came down with COVID, he started on a five-day course of the antiviral treatment Paxlovid. It reduces symptoms and can speed recovery, but what's thought to be a small share of patients experience rebound infections, as has happened with Biden. It seems like every patient has experienced that. That's what it seems like to me. That's why they were discussing making you take it for 10 days. One of our producers, his wife is a nurse and provides Paxlovid as outpatient treatment, which of course it should be. And I said, how's it going? Bad. Maybe 40% works for some. You know, 40% of the people that take it, it has some effect. That's not a great ratio.

1:53:22 for the miracle drug. The Pfizer pill is here! Remember that? The Pfizer pill is gonna change the game! Yeah, it was a big deal. Why, do we have a game changer? Oh yeah, the Pfizer pill. Game changer, yeah. Let me see if the Pfizer... Do we have a... Pfizer pill. What is this? Oh yeah, here's a short clip from NTD, one of yours I think. Here's an update on that COVID-19 antiviral pill by Merck. The FDA panel has endorsed the antiviral drug, but the vote was a narrow one, 13 to 10. Ultimately, the panel found that the benefits outweigh its risks, which include potential birth defects if used during pregnancy.

1:54:03 Now, the vote was just a recommendation. The FDA is expecting... I think this was after Pfizer already got their go-ahead? Here it is. No, I think this is... No, no, it is... Paxilivid is a Pfizer pill, it's not a Merck. No, I know, but I think Merck tried to put a pill through and then they got quashed by this corruption. at the FDA. Yeah, by Pfizer, exactly. Here's the Pfizer. Here, listen to this. Following Pfizer's worldwide rollout of its COVID vaccine, this morning another potential breakthrough in the fight against the pandemic. Fight! Pfizer saying early trial results of its antiviral COVID pill show it reduced the risk of hospitalization or death by 89%. More than 1,200 people included in the study were considered high risk and started taking the pills within three days of developing COVID symptoms.

1:54:48 The drug now on track for potential authorization in early 2022, not far behind another COVID pill developed by Merck. Right. You're right. What happened to the Merck pill? That went nowhere. Of course not. It's not. It had the wrong name on it. All right. Biden COVID again too? I know that's an optional. It's not that good. Onward with your clips. Yes. This is cropping up everywhere. We had to go to north of the border to get an example of it in Alberta, Alberta, Canada. Unknown causes was the leading cause of death in Alberta last year. That category leads the way over dementia, which has been in the top spot since 2016 and COVID-19, which began adding to the provinces death tally in a big way in 2020. I think it's probably multifactorial, so there's probably many things playing to that. The number of

1:55:44 deaths with unknown caus has gone up over the last rising to over 1400 in 2 to more than 3300 in 2020. even rank. Dr Daniel Gre resources, delayed access and post covid complicati to the increase. We have t you know, surviving covid end of it and that's not necessarily true. Gregson points to a larger study out of the U.S. that found people who had COVID-19 are at a higher risk of heart disease, stroke, pulmonary embolisms and death compared to those who haven't been infected. The risk is even higher for those who end up in hospital or in the ICU with COVID. One would expect that some of those patients are going to you know survive the COVID and then die at home from other

1:56:45 I mean, I can't listen to these reports. At no point do they say, hmm, could it be anything, anything with the vaccine? At no point will you hear that. It's unbelievable to me. No, it's a disservice and it's criminal. And we know that they lied. Yeah. If you read, like we don't get too many newscasts except for that woman, but if you read just the newspapers in India, they have no qualms about suggesting vaccines, discussing these problems. No qualms. Well, because their information is different. Yeah, because their information is not bought and paid for by the pharmaceutical industry like it is here. Correct. And here is the king, Peter McCullough.

CHAPTER 23 / 40 Discussion

Peter McCullough, Fertility Concerns, Spike Protein

Dr. Peter McCullough warns that lipid nanoparticles and spike proteins from COVID-19 vaccines may accumulate in reproductive organs, potentially impacting fertility. He cites studies suggesting temporary reductions in sperm count and expresses concern about the destruction of ovarian cells in women. The hosts discuss the lack of critical media coverage regarding these long-term health implications.

peter mccullough· spike protein· fertility· ovarian cells· sperm count· lipid nanoparticles

1:57:33 And he is highlighting another huge issue with the vaccines. McCullough, infallible credentials people. We know that loaded on lipid nanoparticles, this dangerous genetic code and spike protein go everywhere in the body. You know, all the autopsy studies have shown it's in the brain, it's in the heart, it's in the bone marrow, it's in the reproductive organs. There's a range of sperm count and motility. Those men who are at the lower range, clearly with vaccination, they're going to be brought into the infertile range. And it takes months and months and months to recover. So just by the time they recover, they take a mandated booster, they go back into the infertile range. I can tell you as a medical doctor, every man should be concerned. Now, importantly, female ovaries have a set number of eggs

1:58:18 from birth. So as the genetic code is installed into ovarian cells and the spike protein is produced in the ovary, not only is it triggering irregularities and menses, but almost certainly is causing death and destruction of those precious ovarian cells, those eggs. Eggs are being destroyed. And so on a more probable than not basis, one would conclude with serial injections every six months, women could be rendered infertile. So, that would be very helpful to have a booster every six months to render the population infertile. Yeah.

1:58:56 I mean, besides that, these variants that are created, I mean, Tina and I had COVID in February and you'd think we have some kind of immunity, but no, because our variant came from a vaccinated person, I guess, or it propagates that way. Maybe it's a little, maybe it's a... Yeah, wasn't there a woman in Utah where she went to visit? Was she double vaccinated, double boosted? And by the way, she feels horrible about it. She feels very... I'm sure she should, but... Well, I mean... Nothing she can do about it. It's the system. I know, but she feels really bad. It's systemic. And keeps apologizing, whereas I'm like, I'm just gonna give it to everybody. You should have said, if you want to shut her up, you should have never gotten the vaccine in the first place. Oh, that's such a nice thing to say. No...

1:59:42 How were your friends? Do your friends call you ever again? I have no friends. No, I didn't think so. I used to have friends. But if so, what we're going before this show, we had friends, okay? We had, we had a social life. This show came along. No friends, no friends. Now, but this is besides the fertility issue. Is this boosting just going to create a new variant that I can get every six months as well? Is that where they're going with this? I have no idea where this is going to head. But like I said, if they just stop giving people shots, it might go away. No, I'm in full agreement with you on that, even though you're not a doctor. You're hardly a doctor. No, but still, it's like, come on. But the media.

2:00:36 It just presses ahead. Everything is obvious as the nose on your face that this is not working. It's bull crap and they just keep pushing, pushing, pushing. It's no shame. It's not working. No, it's not. No shame. No shame. Well, the money keeps coming in. That's what the, you know, you get no shame if you get a new car every two years, new Benz. I mean, do you think Jake Tapper sits there and and and that he really doesn't feel like a an incredible heel to talk about You know men who have sex with men instead of gay Hey, do you think that all these stupid things these people did that is it anyone who has a brain there and a conscience? No, how does that they're unaware? I think there's just they've been so you know out of it and there and it's the milieu the milieu itself dictates these things and

2:01:34 And for instance, at some point, someone decided that gay men, well, we can't say gay. So let's say men having sex with men. How's that? Oh, yeah. But that was that was that's a talking point that came from somewhere. Yeah, it did. But it had a genesis and everybody picked up on it because they thought it was a good idea that they weren't thinking, oh, well, that's that's sneaky. I don't think I think these people are mostly sincere. Pathetic. Plus the milieu. Milieus are very powerful. Yes. Okay. I'm going to lead you into your segment, which I think is important. Ah yes, my famous segment, which is going to be around as long as they keep coming. Yes. Let's go to... Wait, wait. I'm going to lead you into it, which means I'm going to lead you into it. Oh, okay. I have to be led. You need to be led. It's the second time this show you haven't gotten my cue.

CHAPTER 24 / 40 Discussion

TikTok Gender Ideology, Pronouns in Schools, Mix K

A series of TikTok clips illustrate the push for gender ideology in schools and healthcare. One mother describes her three-year-old "coming out" as a girl, while a Minnesota principal promotes the book "Jack Not Jackie." An elementary teacher, using the title "Mix K," explains how they instruct students on non-binary identities and preferred pronouns.

tiktok· transgender· pronouns· pediatrician· non-binary· elementary school

2:02:38 So I'm going to lead into it with a clip that starts off from TikTok, because you're the TikTok guy now, which was a very good explanation of the use of pronouns and what the whole pronoun gambit is about. And we inherently know this, but wait until you hear this. When someone has trauma, they feel very powerless. And what the transgender movement has done is they've created people who feel very powerful by saying someone is a transphobe by not calling me by my pronoun. It's giving a young person who still needs guidance and still needs parents power over every adult in their life, which actually creates more chaos and more floundering inside of them. So it's doing them a disservice.

2:03:31 And to me, that is exactly the intent of it. It has nothing to do with anyone's feelings or any bull crap like that. It is a control mechanism that is screwing up parents mainly and other unsuspecting adults. Which is most of them. Yeah. Well, let's go to some TikToks then. And let's start with the This was a lax mom. This is a lax mom. What is a lax mom? Lax, you know what lax is? Oh, this guy is like lazy, you know, laid back. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Laid back to an extreme. She's wearing polka dot glasses. Let's start with that. She's got a nose ring and she's lax and she's got a three year old who just decided that the three year old just decided he's a girl. So it's a she now. So it gets a little confusing because of the pronoun, pronoun idiocy. But

2:04:25 Listen to this is a mom that if this was your mom you'd be in big trouble. Look another helpful question. Kids have to go to the pediatrician a certain number of times for the first few years of their life. It's to make sure they get fully vaccinated or growing on time. Development is as it needs to be yada yada yada. At the three-year checkup they ask a question to see if the children know the difference. So the pediatrician looked at Bug and she said, are you a boy or a girl? Bug looked her in the eye and said, I'm a girl. The doctor kind of looked at me, I was like, all right, never heard about it before, but whatever. And ever since that day, she has told us that she's a girl. A little under a year ago, she started correcting us on her pronouns. I'm not him, I'm a her. Don't call me he. Mommy, I'm not he, I'm she.

2:05:19 It has been two and a half years now that she has been out. I told her father when I figured she was getting close to telling him herself. Didn't want him to respond poorly. Ugh! Whoa! The five-year-old trans kid has to come out to her dad herself. What in the world? And the kid's name is Bug. I thought that was odd. What are we going to name our kid, honey? I think Bug would be a good name for a kid. No, that's probably just a nickname.

2:05:57 Whatever. So here we go. Let's go to a Minnesota principal. This is a woman who is an administrator in a school. This is where you know the schools are in bad shape because she is totally oblivious to any of this. She thinks it's fabulous. And so here she is describing, describing how she is reading and things that are really important book to read for this. By the way, kindergartner book, first graders book, Jack, not Jackie. I've been doing some reading this summer. And so I thought I would share a couple of books because you have a little bit of time left to do some reading. I also read Jack Not Jackie by Erica Silverman. Phenomenal read. So if you're a K-1, 2, 3 even, it's a really good read called Jack Not Jackie. And I really enjoyed that and I'm excited it'll be on our shelves in the Media Center this fall. Phenomenal read. Phenomenal read. Phenomenal read.

2:06:57 Have you read Jack Not Jackie? No, I have not, but I'm tempted to get a copy. Yeah, for prosperity. So now we go back to our non-binary queer teachers and there seems to be endless numbers of them. And this is the non-binary queer teacher and her name is Mix and she wants to make sure you call her that for sure, especially if you're a student. I'm a non-binary elementary school teacher, so here's how I talk to my students about pronouns and such. Hi, my name is Mix K. It's mix. So kind of like cookie mix or mixing bowl, that sort of thing. That's how it's pronounced. That is my name. That is the name that I'm comfortable with. It is the name that makes me happy, and I would like it if you referred to me as such. See, I'm not a mister or a miss, so I go by Mix because that's what makes me happy. Now, you have a name that you like to be called other than the name that's on the paper, right?

2:07:51 It's the same thing for me. I have a name that I prefer to be called and that's the one that you're gonna use for me, okay? Now, I don't consider myself to be a boy or a girl. I just see myself as a person. So that's why I go by Mix. So I'm actually non-binary. I'm not really comfortable with feminine terms being used for me. If you can find some alternatives, that would be great. My pronouns are they, them, and she, her. Thank you so much for asking. What are yours? Talking about gender is not something that's out of the realm for children. Honestly, the most understanding people when it comes to my identity have been the students that I work with. So it's important to be yourself because being openly you

Weaponized Queers, Spitting in Drinks, Political Intolerance

A controversial TikTok video encourages people to spit in the drinks of Trump supporters at bars and restaurants. The creator suggests that if a venue is "LGBTQIA+ friendly," any visible Trump supporter should be targeted with this form of biological harassment. The hosts characterize this as a call to violence and a sign of extreme political polarization.

2:08:31 It's probably the most important thing you can do for the kids of this generation. I'm going to have to ban TikTok videos with piano music that's drowning out the actual voice. I know, it was bad. It was an exception. But I also had a thought, something struck me. Yeah. Are these, these, this just reminds me of the coddling of the Yahoo employees, turn of the century, 2000. where they had slides and plushy things and sleeping pods and all of Silicon Valley eventually went to this. Is this somehow like

2:09:13 What parents want their kids to be accustomed to that everything's feels good and warm and fuzzy And it's always a great environment, and there's no no just it's all good and oozy And let's be friendly and use all cool names for each other. This is all part of the same thing God, I hope not sure feels like it well something's amiss all I can say when you have these teachers and And there's not just one or two of them, although when you listen to them talk about their cohorts, it's like there's maybe 20 teachers in some environment and two of them are non-binary queer. And then three or four of the rest of them are kind of helpers or assist, there's one woman who used, there was a word she used to describe them, but they were cooperative.

2:10:11 What's it in that phrase where they're... where you're a... Ally? ally, their allies or something like that. So you have 20 teachers, there's two of these queers, three allies and then that leaves with 15 other teachers, but they're cowed. The other ones are intimidated by these few because they have arguments that nobody's ever dealt with before. It's hard to deal with. I mean, we're having trouble ourselves. And nobody, like you said, nobody's communicating with us. So we don't have any outside. We have zero input, except a few pissed off parents every once in a while right in. I'm taking my kid out of school. I'm going to self-isolate at home school.

2:11:00 Right. That's pretty much that is great. I mean, it's fantastic if you can feel like doing that, but doesn't help us in our analysis. That's for sure. So, yeah, something is going on. I have a couple of other ones here I can play. One's kind of disgusting. Both of them are disgusting, but one is kind of disgusting. This is a this is a girl. Oh, this is the drinks girl. Yeah, the drinks. Yeah, I've seen this. Yeah, I've seen this. She's talking about if you're in a see a MAGA person spit in their drink. This is this is the kind of pleasant Democrat I consider. It's just like the Democratic norm. There's Chuck Schumer mentality. And she's like visually, she's like kind of

2:11:46 no makeup, but she's wearing these weird plastic glasses that are a kind of an iodine color, red, translucent red. They're very strange looking. All these women wear funny glasses. Warby Parker. But listen to what she has to say. Normalized spitting in the drinks of Trump supporters. Are you at a bar or brewery or restaurant in which you did not expect to see a Trump supporter? Because their website and Decor otherwise declared that they are LGBTQIA plus friendly. Maybe they've got a pride flag, maybe they've got a BLM flag in their window. But you still for some reason see an ungodly tribe supporter and heaven forbid they're also wearing Trump merchandise? Well, take an unfinished drink from the table, spit in it, bring it over to them and tell them that you bought them one. And then pray to whatever glorious creature gets you out of bed in the morning that they'd take a sip of it and suffer for the rest of the day. Thank you, goodbye.

2:12:45 Yeah, so this is the weaponized non- Weaponized queers, there it is. That's the whole point. Get them to this point where they're just completely under your control and they respond to pronouns and all of this and then weaponize them and make them spit in drinks. You could say this is violence. This is a call to violence. It's very violent. And how does it account for equity, diversity, oh, let's all be one? Well, this whole thing is out the window when you're spitting in drinks because somebody's got some Trump merchandise on them or whatever. I mean, you can identify anybody, you can identify, you just don't like their looks when you spit in their drink. This is not civilized. No, no, it's not. And she's okay with it. All right, let's get back to reality because these people clearly don't live in it.

UK Energy Crisis, Sri Lanka Bicycles, Climate Silver Linings

The United Kingdom faces a massive spike in natural gas prices, with the price cap expected to rise 77% in October, potentially pushing millions into fuel poverty. In Sri Lanka, NPR reports on a "silver lining" to the country's economic collapse: citizens are swapping cars for bicycles. The hosts argue that the media is framing economic misery as a positive step toward climate goals.

united kingdom· energy prices· fuel poverty· sri lanka· npr· bicycles

2:13:46 Let's look at the reality of inflation and the energy, the self-inflicted energy crisis, completely self-inflicted here in the United States, as well as certainly Europe has inflicted a huge pain upon themselves and the leaders who are using this to shepherd in their zero carbon economy. Do not care what's going to happen to the people and if we look at the United Kingdom, where people are much closer to poverty than the accent lets you believe. Here is an ITV report about the gas cap. Now, there's a cap in the United Kingdom where your home or the amount of money that gas companies can charge for natural gas, I'm not talking about car gas, natural gas, is capped.

2:14:41 And that's about to change. The impact of the spike in gas prices is going to be absolutely devastating. The latest prediction for the price cap is it will go up 77% on the 1st of October, taking someone with typical usage from the current £1,971 a year, which was already up over 50%, to £3,500 a year and then in January it'll go up again. Now that £1,500 a year spike is simply unaffordable for millions of homes and is likely to put around 10 million people or more into fuel poverty. The impact of it is frankly catastrophic and intervention is needed and needed now. Then it's not going to come.

2:15:35 There will be no intervention. We have to go through the pain together, people. Start burning coal again. People are going to start burning anything they can get their hands on. Sri Lanka melted down. Sri Lanka's a mess. That was inflation and all based on the same climate change strategies. But NPR is quite happy to report there is a silver lining, John. that they, you know, people can't buy gas, you had to have a pass, a gas pass to be allowed to buy gas for your car. What do you think the silver lining is of all this collapse in Sri Lanka? According to NPR, our national treasure. Yes, people. Close.

2:16:26 environmentalists say there is a silver lining to Sri Lanka's fuel rationing amid soaring energy costs and inflation. People are swapping their cars for bicycles and Piers Lauren Frayer has more from Sri Lanka's capital Colombo. Hey this is good news we have bikes! While cars wait in line for rationed fuel, Mayor Rosy Senanayake announced the construction of new bike paths across Colombo. For all the Sri Lankans who now find it faster and cheaper to cycle instead. This is kind of a hidden blessing. Dr. Asela Abedira is a cycling activist who's long preached the health benefits. I'm obviously not happy to see the economic crisis and transport breakdown,

2:17:15 I'm happy that people have started cycling. There's no official data on just how many bikes have replaced cars here in recent weeks, but bike mechanics say their business is booming during this country's worst ever economic crisis. Lauren Freyer, NPR News, Colombo, Sri Lanka. Do you see what's happening? They're already celebrating the climate change implementation. They're already moving, oh, look at the people are on bikes, they're biking, they're happy. It seems great, there's a silver lining. I mean, they're already creating the fluff human interest pieces of how successful this has been. Well, do they even have a government left? Is there anyone left in Parliament? No, it doesn't look like it. People still doing backflips into the Prime Minister's pool, the President's pool? It's hard to say. Everything I've seen is still packed with people.

Portland Homelessness, Meth Raging, Suburban Encampments

Residents in Southeast Portland describe living in a "nightmare" as homeless encampments spread into residential neighborhoods. Homeowners report "meth raging" in driveways and public urination on lawns, while city bureaus struggle to respond to thousands of reports. The hosts discuss the legal precedents that have prevented cities from clearing tents, leading to a decline in suburban safety.

portland· oregon· homelessness· meth· camping· public health

2:18:07 Now, another issue, the one we have in the United States, is the homelessness. Close to my heart because I lived in shithole Austin while they let that run rampant. And a reminder, the reason why this political move is being made by governors and mayors is under the guise that moving someone's tent is considered cruel and unusual punishment, therefore a constitutional violation. This was what started years ago in Boise, Idaho. We tracked it since then, and ever since that became accepted amongst governors and predominantly liberal mayors, they have not been moving people in tents. So one of the top places for this is Oregon. And

2:19:00 Downtown Oregon, I mean, there is a lot, a lot of homelessness, a lot of camping, a lot of drug abuse. And now it's moving into the suburbs and boo-hoo. I'm living in a nightmare neighborhood. It's really scary. For years, these neighbors have been watching the city's homeless crisis spread across parts of Southeast Portland. Now it's right outside their front door. I want to cry. I just want my house back. Christina Hartnett lives on 80th and Powell where a majority of the campers stay. My lawn is now becoming a public bathroom. She fears leaving her house just to go to work. And it is scary when you have grown men meth raging in your driveway.

2:19:45 The last thing I feel safe doing is going out and saying, hey, can you please move so I can go to work? Calling the police and city is an everyday chore with little reward. So far, no one has come to help us. Central City Concern Clean Start crews assessed this site Thursday. It was one of about 1,900 other campsites reported just this week. In the past 10 days, they found 272 encampments that pose a greater health and safety risk, which is why they haven't removed the camps in this neighborhood. But just getting the city to come out and assess it has been a full-time job. I have to report from like four different

2:20:24 Four different bureaus, and I have to report that report to a report, and then I have to report that report to a second report, and it's the only way to get any kind of traction. I feel like nobody hears us. Nobody cares about us. No, you didn't care. It was NIMBY, not in my backyard, and then it came to the Southeast. Oh! I'm sorry, I don't feel bad for these people at all. For years they stood by like, oh well you know poor people, you can't screw unusual punishment. Portland we love, we love everybody!

CHAPTER 28 / 40 Discussion

Greg Abbott, DC Migrant Buses, Muriel Bowser

Texas Governor Greg Abbott continues busing illegal migrants to Washington, D.C., prompting Mayor Muriel Bowser to request National Guard assistance for a "humanitarian crisis." White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre criticizes the move as a "shameful" political stunt. The hosts analyze the hypocrisy of sanctuary cities complaining about the arrival of migrants they previously claimed to welcome.

greg abbott· muriel bowser· washington dc· migrants· national guard· karine jean-pierre

2:21:01 And now they're pissing in your front yard and they're meth raging. I love that, meth raging. I like meth raging. Meth raging, yeah. Well, let's take a look at how they're dealing with this. My favorite story for today, because it's in Texas. Here we go. Is this beautiful scam that Abbott has decided to pull to screw up DC. This is the... This is fantastic. Exporting the immigrants. Yeah, hold on a second, here we go. And over in D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser says the nation's capital is now dealing with a humanitarian crisis. It has to do with illegal immigrants and now she's asking for the military's help. And today's Jason Perry has the story. So I've asked for the deployment of the guard as long as we need the guard to deal with the humanitarian crisis.

2:21:49 that we expect to escalate. That crisis being the flow of bus after bus heading to Washington from Texas and Arizona, all voluntarily transporting illegal immigrants. Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Arizona Governor Doug Ducey don't appear to be slowing down the bus trips to Washington anytime soon. Their reason? Here's Abbott on KTEK last week. The people in Washington, D.C., seem to have a different standard. They think that it's OK to have the open border situation as long as it remains in places like Texas. We wanted to make sure that because Joe Biden has never come to the border, we want to take the border to Joe Biden and let them understand what we are having to deal with right here. And they are only dealing with about the number of migrants that we have come across the border per day. According to a letter obtained by NBC4 reporter Mark Seagraves, Mayor Bowser says over 4,000 people have arrived at the nation's capital since April.

2:22:47 It indicates that Bowser requested the National Guard on the 19th, but reporter Seagrave says no answer yet on her request. We reached out to the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the White House for comment, but we didn't hear back before airtime. Oh, now there is an update to this from the White House. This is Kareem Abdul Jean-Pierre. She is the the spokeshole for President Biden and she was queried on this by Peter Doocy who is now just coming into his own because he's figured out how to really get under her skin. Really, really needle her good. Did you see this exchange? No I didn't. I'm on my ears.

2:23:32 The DC mayor sent the White House a letter asking for National Guard help with migrants that have been bused here from Texas and Arizona. Is the president going to approve that request for the National Guard? So, as to your question on the National Guard, I refer you to the Department of Defense. They will have that answer for you. We have been in regular touch with Mayor Bowser and her team. And I said this before, I said this last week about Republicans using migrants as a political tool, and that is shameful and that is just wrong. There is a process in place for managing migrants at the border. This is not it, what they're doing currently. That includes expelling migrants as required by court order under Title 42, transferring them to ICE custody, or placing them in the care of local NGOs as they await further

2:24:22 processing again. So what Republicans are doing, the way that they're meddling in the process and using migrants as a political pawn is just wrong. Yes. So a couple of things. And there's a second part to this. One, I just love migrants. You know, let's just stop with the migrants. These are illegal asylum seekers who don't get a hearing. They get let in and let loose. And there's sometimes they're put in airplanes and via the government and shipped to You know, far away places. In the middle of the night. But that's what she means. It's true, in the middle of the night. To be fair, she says there's a process. Yeah, the process is throwing it anywhere but in your sanctuary city of Washington DC, which they proudly announced. Sanctuary City. Isn't Austin a sanctuary city too?

2:25:11 I think so, yes, because you're a fabulous mayor. Anyone who wants to go camp in Tarrytown, homeless or asylum seeker, I'll give you a free tent. Let me give you a couple addresses. Here's the follow up. So the White House's preference would be for small towns in Texas and Arizona to have to take care of these migrants rather than a large metropolitan city like Washington DC? That is not what I said. That is what you said. I said that there is. Yeah, they are. They're sending migrants to big cities on purpose, using them as a political point. If they don't go to big cities, where should they go? There's a process. I just laid it out. There's a process. And they come to a big city and now the mayor says she needs the National Guard.

2:25:52 That's because Republicans are using migrants who are coming here for, who knows, because they're dealing with humanitarian issues back in their country. They're coming here for a better life and they are being used. Peter, they're being used by Republican governors. That is what's happening. Does any of this just make the president want to say this is causing a lot of burdens on small cities, big cities, maybe I should just close the border? What I'm saying is what Republicans are doing is wrong and there is a process in place and we should follow the process. There is a legal process in place and they should follow it. Okay, thank you. Okay, so there was more to this. Did you know that the current administration is

Arizona Border Wall, Peter Doocy, White House Briefing

Fox News reporter Peter Doocy questions the Biden administration's decision to fill gaps in the Arizona border wall despite previous promises not to build "another foot." Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre insists the administration is "cleaning up the mess" rather than finishing the wall. The exchange highlights the administration's linguistic gymnastics to avoid admitting that physical barriers are being constructed.

arizona· border wall· peter doocy· karine jean-pierre· cbp· taxpayer dollars

2:26:36 building or completing or restoring parts of a wall? Yeah, that just started. What is it? Arizona? It started outside of one of the cities in Arizona, Tempe or Tusa... not Tucson. Tempe, I think. One of the southern most cities because people are... it's just become an issue. It's too much, right? Because it's out of control. Yeah. Well, this was an even better exchange between... This is the new... Matt Lee used to be our boy over there at the State Department. And is Matt Lee even alive? Yeah, he's still at the State Department. I don't get the fireworks from him anymore. I don't know. Did he have COVID?

2:27:23 A little chat maybe? Here's Ducey again. Now this is about this wall in Arizona. Why is the Biden administration building a border wall in Arizona? So we are not finishing the wall. We are cleaning up the mess the prior administration left behind in their failed attempt to build a wall. And I just want to be very, very clear here. On day one, we returned the money, the $8 billion the prior administration took from our military. We gave that back to the military for military families, for schools, for bases. That's what that money was being used. That's what it was taken away from. And so again, what we're doing is cleaning up the mess

2:28:09 that the prior administration has done. But President Biden, when he was a candidate, said there will not be another foot of wall constructed in my administration. So what changed? We are not finishing the wall. If walls work in that part of Arizona, Is this the administration trying to get migrants to cross somewhere else, like in Texas? What is the plan? We are not finishing a wall. We are cleaning up the mess that the prior administration made. We are trying to save lives. This is what the prior administration left behind that we are now cleaning up. By finishing the wall?

2:28:50 Is this we are not finishing by filling in finishing we are not finishing I mean this this is really to me a very interesting exchange because she sure talking point is we're not finishing the wall and he's saying well, what are you doing then and she's not saying we're putting a straight Exactly what I asked why is this happening? What are you doing? Well, we're not finishing a wall. Are you feeling something? We're not finishing a wall. It's as if, does she not hear him? They have, this administration seems to have talking points and rules about what they can and cannot say. And it's obviously not determined by her. It's the people behind Biden. They've got this thing about if we say that, like lawyers or men who have sex with men,

2:29:43 Valerie Jarrett and Obama, they have some weird way of thinking where if they say one thing, Then it opens the door to God knows what. And so they, I've seen this before, they do this constantly. They just won't say something. And he followed up with, of course, putting her own stupid words right back in her face. I mean, again, just as if he's speaking a foreign language. By filling in, is this racist?

2:30:27 Because in 2019, when the former guy was proposing a wall, you said that it was his racist wall. So how is this any different? I'm just having a hard time understanding how this is any different. I'm not even sure how you get to your first question, to this question that you just asked me. I will say this. A border wall- I'm answering your question. A border wall is ineffective use of taxpayer dollars. So it's ineffective of taxpayer dollars, dollars that actually went to the military, the last administration, the prior president took from the military, which took away from schools, which took away... Okay, so I get it. So what they did was, they said, look, we got to do something about this wall. We've got to do something. This is, it's insane what's happening here in Arizona. We got to build something. How do we, how do we justify this shit? We were all, we told him it was a racist Trump, but it's no good. Just tell him we're not finishing the wall.

2:31:24 And what did she say? She said... She just changed, she didn't say anything. She says, we gave the money back. Yes, like this is not the racist wall. We gave the money back to the military. This is something different. This is saving lives. I'm sorry, we're saving lives. Effective use of... It's not effective use of taxpayer money. Taxpayer dollars, so it's ineffective of taxpayer dollars. Dollars that actually went to the military that... The last administration, the prior president took from the military, which took away from schools, which took away from military bases. That's what that money that he pulled away from to build this wall that he wanted. That is ineffective, by the way, which I just said. Just recently, CBP reported that new

2:32:18 bollard fencing along the southwest border was breached 3,272 times between fiscal year of 2019 and 2021 requiring 2.6 million in repairs. It's ineffective. We are not finishing a wall. We are cleaning up the mess that the last administration made. Okay. Ah, okay. There we go. So since there was only a stupid fence and no wall, it has to be patched the whole time. Okay. The sad thing is that the American people, A, they'll never see this reporting because it's not, this reporting is not done on an island where someone gets voted off. Then people would watch. This woman's no good. And people just don't remember. They forgot already. It's like they've got a mental block. She doesn't have the skill set of the redhead.

Mariupol POWs, Olenivka Prison Explosion, Pope Retirement

President Volodymyr Zelensky calls for an international investigation into an explosion at the Olenivka prison that killed over 50 Ukrainian prisoners of war. While Russia and Ukraine trade blame for the incident, the Red Cross seeks access to the site to gather facts. Additionally, the hosts discuss rumors of Pope Francis considering retirement, linking it to a broader "great reset" of global leadership.

2:33:18 She has no skill set. No, she has no skill sets. And the redhead would in this situation, she would slow down and she'd look at him and she'd give him that snide look. She'd do her whole look and body language thing and then say, well, Peter, skip to the next person. This woman is no good. She's got no talent. She's just a ethnic hire. Yeah, diversity hire. No. She's gonna screw it up. You got anything on the... I got Ukraine. Yes, let's do some Ukraine. I have this one Ukraine because I listen to this and I'm thinking, okay, let's go back and remember that in Mariupol, the

2:34:13 The guys that were stuck dead, the soldiers, the Nazis that were down in the steel mill, the factory, in the labyrinth of tunnels, there was reports that you have to stay here, you're gonna fight to the death. And if you get out of there and then if you leave or surrender anything, we're gonna kill ya. So then we have this report, and listen to this, this is the Ukraine, this is the only Ukraine clip I have. Ukraine is calling on the UN and the Red Cross to investigate the deaths of more than 50 prisoners of war held by Russia. President Volodymyr Zelensky says those organizations bear the responsibility for the soldiers' safety. And Pierce Ryan Mann has more. Dozens of soldiers being held at the Olenivka prison in eastern Ukraine were killed in an explosion Friday. Russia claims the blast was caused by the Ukrainian military, an accusation Ukraine rejects.

2:35:09 In his latest broadcast, Zelensky said many of the prisoners in the camp were soldiers who served in the defense of Mariupol, who were captured following a deal negotiated by international mediators. The UN and Red Cross acted as guarantors of the life and health of our soldiers. Now they must react, he said. He also called on the organizations to protect thousands of other Ukrainian POWs. The Red Cross says it's seeking access to the prison to gather facts. Hmm. Yeah, what do you think happened? You think the Russians killed these prisoners or do you think the Ukrainians killed the prisoners as the Russians said it happened? I don't know. It's I don't know either but you pretty much know what happened is these guys have been doing this all along. You guys all bailed out on us. We're going to just blow up the damn prison kill you.

2:35:58 And then to make all these demands, oh, Voldemort, he says, Voldemort says, oh, you guys got to, it's your responsibility. You know, these guys are, you know, what did you do? What are you going to do about it? Give us some more money. Give us some more missiles. I'm getting sick of this guy. Voldemort is a dead guy. Biden's a dead guy. The queen is dead. Oh, and by the way, did you see the news about the Pope? considers retiring. Was it not you who said that that would not happen? That was me. Yes. Who said it would not happen. Yeah, I told you the guy's going to retire because we need the great reset and then we got to get rid of everybody. All the old people are out kind of the same time and then we'll have all the new whatever that is. Staying with Russia then.

Brittney Griner, Viktor Bout, Russian Spy Arrests in Hawaii

The U.S. considers a prisoner swap involving WNBA star Brittney Griner and security executive Paul Whelan for Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout. Meanwhile, a Department of Defense contractor and his wife are arrested in Hawaii for living under the identities of deceased infants since the 1980s. Authorities found KGB uniforms and invisible ink kits in their home, leading to speculation about their role as long-term sleeper agents.

brittney griner· paul whelan· viktor bout· hawaii· kgb· identity theft

2:36:54 This report. Blinken would not confirm details of the US offer or speculation of a prisoner swap to bring home both Greiner and American Paul Whelan. The security executive was arrested in Moscow in 2018 on espionage charges and has been sentenced to 16 years in prison. Yeah, you only hear about Greiner of course as put on Time magazine in some homage to Harriet Tubman. It's interesting. Have you seen that? Griner on Time Magazine cover? Oh my goodness. They took the Tubman vibe. Anyway. Well, put Griner on the $20 bill then. They might. But this is of course about Whelan.

2:37:38 They want Whelan. I don't think they care about Griner. Well, it's a good excuse to get Whelan and give them something. The arms dealer's been sitting there as a pawn for years now. The merchant of death. The death guy. Well, there's something weird going on. It's like a red scare all of a sudden. It's not enough to have Ukraine and all this situation. We gotta bring it closer to home. Hey, it worked before. Let's freak everybody out about Russian spies! This morning, a Department of Defense contractor and his wife are being held without bail in Hawaii, suspected of being Russian spies.

2:38:25 Authorities arrested 66 year old Walter Primrose for identity theft last week. He's accused of living for nearly 30 years under the name of a dead Texas infant named Bobby Fort. His wife, Gwen Morrison, also accused of illegally changing her name to a deceased Texas child, Julie Montague. Charging documents say the couple agreed to assume the identities of deceased American-born infants and have been fully living in these fraudulently assumed identities since 1987. Prosecutors allege the couple obtained social security cards, driver's licenses and passports. And Primrose got a job with the US Coast Guard in 1994, earning him a secret level security clearance when he joined the Department of Defense in Hawaii. When searching the couple's Oahu home, authorities say they found old pictures of them in Russian KGB uniforms, apparently taken in the 1980s.

2:39:20 Morrison's attorney claiming the picture was a joke. My client wants everyone to know that she is not a spy. Authorities also say they found an invisible ink kit, documents with coded language, military base maps. Neighbors didn't suspect anything unusual was going on. Bobby's to do the yard and he swore headphones and he just kept himself. The couple is not being charged with espionage, but experts think these fraud charges are just the beginning. I get the real sense that the government is looking at much more serious charges and that they have charged them with identity theft to hold them. In court, prosecutors called Primrose a flight risk with troubling possible overseas connections. If convicted on all charges, he faces 17 years in prison. Mona, Andrew.

2:40:11 So just like the Americans, by the way, told me... Yeah, almost exactly the same storyline. You think maybe they want to trade these jumeaux instead of the merchant of death? That's why they brought these guys out into the open? Eh, let's give them these guys. They're spies. Well, the way I... when I see this story, I'm thinking we knew all along... Clearly. ...our agencies Our people knew and so they were watching them and are keeping tabs on them or finding something, you know, something valuable. Or maybe we've given them, tried to flip them recently and it wouldn't work. Or we gave them some, some shitty information and now we want to send them back. Ooh, yeah, that's a good one. I don't, I don't know if anyone in our intelligence services is in fact that cunning anymore. Well, there's,

Russian Tourism Ad, Winter is Coming, Global Sanctions

A viral video, purportedly from Russia, trolls the West by highlighting Russia's cheap gas, electricity, and "traditional values." The ad concludes with the phrase "Winter is coming," a reference to the impending energy crisis in Europe. The hosts find the video to be an effective, if humorous, piece of geopolitical trolling amidst the ongoing sanctions regime.

2:41:02 Historically that cunning. Yeah, and there's got to be some old-timers still there that are that cunning Not many no probably not they're all woke last Russia clip for me is You know when this first started remember Russia was but posting memes at the airport and doing all kinds of fun stuff They're back now Now they're just trolling everybody. So this is a beautifully made spot. The voiceover, it may be fake, but I don't know. To me, this is just a good troll whether it came from Russia or not. This is Russia. Delicious cuisine. Beautiful women. Cheap gas.

2:41:50 Rich history. World famous literature. Unique architecture. Fertile soil. Cheap electricity and water. Ballet. Cheap taxi and delivery. Traditional values. Christianity. No cancel culture. Hospitality. Vodka, economy that can withstand thousands of sanctions. Time to move to Russia. Don't delay. Winter is coming. What the hell? What was that? Yeah, I mean it was posted as if a real... produced in Russia. Yeah, well obviously it wasn't.

2:42:44 I loved it. I loved it. Winter is coming. I wonder what's behind that and what's the point? Well, it's a troll move is what it is and it's a good one. It's a good one. It's hilarious troll. I think the voiceover could have been better. That's what made it shit. If they had done a better voiceover. Yeah, it was like me doing it, you know, hey, you know, some phony voice. Made me laugh though. Yeah, it's definitely amusing. Let's get since we're doing world stuff. Let's just at least keep up with a rock which is falling apart Okay

Iraq Parliament Storming, Muqtada al-Sadr, Green Zone

Followers of Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr storm the Iraqi parliament in Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone to protest government formation efforts. This marks the second breach of the assembly building in a week, signaling deep political instability. The hosts reflect on the history of the Green Zone as a symbol of American influence that is now being overrun by local factions.

iraq· baghdad· muqtada al-sadr· green zone· shiite· parliament

2:43:21 In Iraq, thousands of followers of an influential Shiite cleric stormed into Iraq's parliament protesting government formation efforts led by his rivals from Iran-backed groups. The protesters, followers of Muqtada al-Sadr, used ropes and chains to topple cement walls around the heavily fortified Green Zone today and then headed into the assembly building for a sit-in. It's the second such breach this week. Wait a minute, isn't the Green Zone, isn't that Our zone? Yeah, it's a play where I think a lot of us are gone, but... It was supposed to be this impenetrable wall around this very large area. It's almost the size of Hayward. Yeah, it's huge. The green zone. Yeah, it was a huge area. And I knew a guy that was stationed there. He was a contractor. He wasn't in the army. And he described it to me as like this large, where there's suburban style American houses and tracks. Sure.

2:44:19 The lawns, everyone had a lawn. Pools, pools, all kinds of pools. And so it was just like this little America in the middle of Iraq and that's where the embassy was gonna be, that big giant embassy, they were building this monstrous embassy that we abandoned. The whole thing was a fiasco. So I guess they're breaching it. What I understand is this is bad. Well, what you're going to see probably in the United States in the media is going to be more pronoun shit and other unimportant things than anything that's going on in the world anywhere, especially protests about farmers, inflation or Argentina, I think, is on the verge of collapsing. Yes, it is. The economy is about to go.

Kash Patel, January 6th Narrative, National Guard Authorization

Former DOD official Kash Patel argues that the January 6th events do not legally constitute an insurrection because President Trump authorized up to 20,000 National Guard troops beforehand. Patel claims that Nancy Pelosi and Mayor Muriel Bowser rejected the security assistance. He also points to the formal transition of power orders signed by Trump in late 2020 as evidence against a coup narrative.

kash patel· january 6· national guard· nancy pelosi· muriel bowser· insurrection

2:45:13 And we got to take a break here. And that's because of the introduction of certain socialist ideals. I mean, people had like a lot of their... They were getting paid and now they got universal basic income and then, hey, we got to cut back on that. And people are like, what? Yeah, that's the... Yeah, that's basically what's happening. I think universal basic income has an issue and I think it's being played out in Argentina. I have one more clip I want to play before we take our last break here and that is regarding the January 6th, Jan 6, 1, 6 insurrection. Worst thing ever happened since... What? The coup. The coup, yes. And this is Kash Patel who at one point was... Oh yeah, this guy's good. In the defense department. And he lays out very clearly why no matter how good the production

2:46:12 It was, man, it was just amazing to hear Bill Maher say, I mean, they really nailed it with the production. They really showed, there's no way, Trump is guilty. They should lock him up. It's clear from that production. Because it was a great production. And he even said, it was the Republicans prosecuting. As if Liz Cheney in the Star Chamber is a Republican prosecuting. So, the reason why it's not insurrection is because of the memo that you already clued us into months ago. And here's Kash Patel just to explain exactly why this does not fit the technical description of an insurrection or the legal one or even a moral one. So, my view is the one that the law demands. It's pretty simple. This is not an insurrection.

2:47:07 An insurrection happens when someone, i.e., a president of the United States, basically hijacks a military or a piece of the military to take over the government. Now, how would that have been possible when President Donald Trump, as we have extensively covered on this show, in the days before January 6th authorized up to 20,000 National Guardsmen and women as the law requires. We at the DOD took that authorization request to Nancy Pelosi and the Capitol Police. They said no. We took it to Mayor Bowser and she said no. It's literally impossible for President United States to be charged with insurrection when he authorized the security of the United States Capitol on the day it was supposed to collect and garner the vote count to install the next president of the United States. On top of that, in November-ish of 2020, President Trump's GSA, Government Service Agency, who is responsible for transitioning governments,

2:48:04 signed off on a presidential authorization that said, transfer the power from Trump administration to Biden administration. That can't happen unless President Trump said to do that. And then we at the Department of Defense, I can speak personally, were ordered by the White House to transition to the Biden administration. And we did the largest transition in Department of Defense history in terms of access to documents and personnel all during COVID. And I wrote an article on that that I published when I was chief of staff. But those two things taken even alone disprove this election insurrection narrative when you combine them the fact that the president president trump authorized security for the capital and He ordered the transition of government. He could legally and factually not have been Orchestrating a coup to conduct an insurrection Sounds right to me. Yeah, totally but that's not enough you see

LIV Golf, 9/11 Families Protest, Donald Trump

Families of 9/11 victims protest the Saudi-backed LIV Golf tournament held at Donald Trump's Bedminster club. The protesters criticize Trump for hosting the event despite his previous comments blaming Saudi Arabia for the 2001 attacks. The hosts discuss the media's focus on Trump's involvement and the declassification of FBI documents regarding Saudi connections to the hijackers.

2:49:02 Wasn't the producer of the January 6th season 1 trial, he was an ex-ABC guy, right? Yeah, ABC's Good Morning America, I think, or something like that. So they're still producing the show, they're just doing a little side show over Good Morning America, and I'm pretty sure that this was set up by the very same producers. This morning, the controversial live golf tournament is underway. But before the golfers teed off, they were met with new criticism for participating in the Saudi backed series. Families of 9 11 victims led a protest before the opening round Friday, expressing their frustrations with the players and former President Donald Trump, who hosted the tournament at his Bedminster Golf Club. Today we call for accountability

2:49:52 Today we call for justice. The Saudi Arabian government and whoever attaches their name and reputation to this farce must be called out for what they're doing. We're standing here in the backyard of where 750 people were turned to dust. Families of the victims accusing Trump of turning his back on the US. Nobody's gotten to the bottom of 9-11, unfortunately, and they should have as to the maniacs that did that horrible thing to our city, to our country. In 2016, Trump directly blaming the Saudis for the attack on 9-11. Who blew up the World Trade Center? It wasn't the Iraqis, it was Saudi. Take a look at Saudi Arabia. Open the documents because frankly, if you open the documents, I think you're going to see that it was Saudi Arabia.

2:50:34 Last year, the FBI declassifying those documents under President Biden detailing connections Al Qaeda and most of the hijackers had with Saudi nationals. The Saudi government has always denied any involvement. Tim Frolic, a 9-11 survivor, calling out the former president. Mr. Trump, we now have the documents. Simply, you lied to our face. And despite that criticism, in October Trump will host another Saudi-backed tournament, this time at his South Florida golf club. The world is burning. Countries are failing. It's going to be a cold winter in many parts of the Western world. But oh no! We need to go after the former president more. More, more, more. I've never seen anything like it. I've never seen such fear.

2:51:29 Fear of Trump coming back you mean? Yeah. They are they are so because they know if Trump gets in They all hang. Well, they thought they're gonna hang the first time and they didn't. Yeah, I know that's that's the thing You know, it's like I don't know man. I don't know if the hanging will ever take place. Yeah, it won't. Oh Come on. You just hope it does you're hopeful. You're a hopeful person. Yeah. Well, you know what I'm waiting for You're worrying for the shaved heads that are walking with a tar all over them feathers. Yeah, that and thousands of sealed indictments. I'm gonna show myself off by donating to No Agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fab.

3:03:28 You know, with No Agenda Meetups, which are really something that develops almost next to the show, has always been producer organized. You know, someone local somewhere says, hey, let's have a meetup. And then, you know, we talk about it or, you know, maybe they talk about it locally. And then before you know it, this grew out and then we have Sir Daniel, he built a whole website for it, noagendameetups.com.

3:04:09 in the next probably 12 months, if you think it's Argentina and Sri Lanka and all these countries, if that's limited in scope, if you don't think you're going to witness any kind of issue here anywhere in the world in general, you're going to want to have a team of people that you can reach out to. And it's got to be diverse because you got to come to the table with all you need. No one knows exactly what's going to happen. But I think being at a no agenda meetup and meeting people and having a community is going to benefit anybody in the crap that is coming down the pike. Very soon.

Federal Court Hack, Chinese Cyber Attack, Sealed Filings

Congressman Jerry Nadler reveals a significant 2020 cyber attack on the U.S. federal court system by "hostile foreign actors," likely linked to China. The breach compromised highly sensitive non-public documents, including sealed filings and national security matters. The hosts speculate that the hack was intended to track Chinese dissidents or gain access to sealed indictments that remain largely unreported by mainstream media.

Yeah, it's too long. Okay, I got three. One of these might be okay. I hope so. I do too. Let's start with, uh, miserable. Go outside. Oops, sorry. Miserable. Really miserable. Huh? So muffled. Really miserable. Really mis... muffled, okay. Okay, you don't like that one. Let's go with look up. Go outside and look up. It's kooky enough. It's kooky. Okay, then the last one is good. That was really good. No, that's the one. You knew that was gonna be the one. I do what you do. I save the best for last. Of course, and I only had one, so it was no good, so there you go. I gave it to you, and you win.

3:10:58 Yay! I have one last clip. Okay, good. Because it's so underreported and nobody wants to talk about it because if you remember that no one's ever solved some of these old previous hacks of huge American databases. Oh, I don't know who did it, maybe North Korea when we know it was the Chinese. Here's another massive hacks China style. Three hostile foreign actors breached the US federal court system in a 2020 cyber attack. That's according to New York Congressman Gerald Nadler. On Thursday he revealed that the three carried out an incredibly significant and sophisticated cyber attack against the federal courts document management system.

3:11:36 He added that the security breach had a disturbing impact on pending civil and criminal litigation as well as ongoing national security or intelligence matters. The U.S. judiciary issued a statement about the breach on January 6, 2021, saying that its case management electronic case file system had become a victim of an apparent compromise. The system allows attorneys to file case documents such as pleadings, motions and petitions with the court online. The judiciary added the breach happened because of vulnerabilities in its system that greatly risk compromising highly sensitive non-public documents, especially sealed filings. Nadler said that the Judiciary Committee learned in March of the startling breadth and scope of the system's security failure.

3:12:25 I didn't hear anything about that. I can't recall a single thing. Of course you didn't. Huh. It's the Chinese trying to track down some of their own people. Ah, yes. And they go, if they get a hold of these secret, you know, the ones that are sealed because the guy goes, I'm from China, you know, I've moved over here, I'm naturalized, but... You know, they're threatening my family. Well, let's look and see what he's up to. So do they have sealed indictments then? They're gonna have access to that? That's what it looks like. Of all the things... Probably 10,000 of them. Of all the things they could do on the hack, they don't get the 10,000 sealed indictments? What are you up to, China? What they're up to is they're tracking Nancy. Shoot her down. Yeah, what they're up to is that it's not being reported at all by our corrupt media. I just call them corrupt. Might as well.

3:16:00 Freedom Safari with me Look, that's it is, shall we say, not everything that I want. I mean, not even close, not even half. Never let us forget that for too many Americans justice and fairness and economic opportunity are still just empty promises that need to be fulfilled. Give people, give people hope and part of our lower cost. We're always saying... I own guns. I own two shotguns.

3:16:44 I believe in the second amendment. It's not a right that's absolute. But it's about the here and now as we go forward in the near future. Thank you. You can't be pro-insurrection and pro-God. You can't be pro-insurrection and pro-democracy. You can't be pro-insurrection and pro-America. It isn't everything we want. How many times have I said that? You cannot judge something for what it doesn't do, but respect it for what it does. And what this does do is quite remarkable in terms of our investments in protecting the planet. I believe that we should protect you. Just as you do every single day.
