Cash is Criminal

00:00 It's bull. It's tall and bull. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Thursday December 15th 2022 this is your award-winning Kid One Nation media assassination episode 1512! This is no agenda... Following the confusion and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas whole country here in Feenereach number 6 in the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry And for Northern Silicon Valley where everyone has the Christmas spirit I'm John C. Dvorak It's Crackpot and Buzzkill! In the morning. Ah yes, the Christmas spirit is in the air... That's true Yeah and climate change solved Solves? Solved it's all done it's all over we're good to go We don't have to worry about a zero carbon future will get there it's all been fixed Done Is that what Bill McKibben says? Bill McKibbens I don't know who Bill McKibbons is Oh yeah you do

00:58 Do I know who that is? No, no. This is this is the big news! I mean...I don't see you-this should be number one everywhere everywhere This is the only story that matters a major announcement as expected today from the US Energy Secretary about what some call the Holy Grail of clean energy The Holy Grail it could change how we power our world ABC's Lionel Moise explains. I mean did you know this was just off the hook? I was so excited We've achieved fusion ignition. Fusion ignition! This is unbelievable, this this is the biggest bogative thing I've ever heard of and I'm not even a fusion scientist...a nuclear scientist just what they're saying

01:42 This is supposed to... What do you find? I know the story. I didn't clip it, but I pretty much know the story. What do you think is the Achilles heel of this story? Well okay, I know nothing! I just listened to Secretary Graham And all I heard was... Well, she knows less than you. Let's go through it yeah of course that's why she has the job what i heard right off the bat was the headline reads fusion we've achieved fusion but then you read this subheadline it says fusion ignition and i'm pretty sure that some kind of bullcrap thing but let's just listen to our secretary who is all jitty and jacked uh today this is in case you don't remember she has the short pixie here hair and the front

02:31 Former governor. Former governor, yes. Has no experience with it. Not a scientist in the least but she does have huge ears just massive like teacup saucer ears Today we're here to talk about fusion Combining two particles into one. Does she flap and then fly into the distance using her ears? Like Dumbo! Last week at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California Scientists at the National Ignition Facility achieved fusion ignition. That's where I went, oh okay that doesn't sound like fusion it sounds like fusion ignition And that is creating more energy from fusion reactions than the energy used to start the process It's the first time it has ever been done in a laboratory

03:25 anywhere in the world. Simply put, this is one of the most impressive scientific feats of the 21st century or as the president might say... Wait wait! Right? Oh no we're gonna ruin your applause line. I do think he probably did say this is a BFD Researchers at Livermore and around the world

04:02 have been working on this moment for more than 60 years. Okay, so I would like before i play these other short clips of her just tell us exactly what happened here? Well there's this thing called fusion ignition which implies that you took less energy to create the output of energy that was created by the fusion and so what they do is they take uh you know they takes whatever kilowatts Jam into this little pellet that they had and then the amount of killer was coming out Is greater than the amount that went in? Supposed right. Okay, and that's kind of what they're talking about Happening to part of the calculation that I've heard nothing about

04:53 is that what how much energy did it take to make the pellet? That's what I'm getting from everybody. It took like 50,000 lasers to blast one pellet and somehow that was deemed a good thing but we'll just let the Department of Energy secretary explain it So what does this accomplishment do? So we just heard what it did. What does it really do? She knows better, two things. It strengthens our national security Oh yes I feel so much more secure because it opens a new realm for maintaining a safe secure and effective nuclear deterrent in an age where we do not have nuclear testing. What did she just say there

05:41 Somehow it's a nuclear deterrent. I don't know what she when she would well She just said which I didn't hear this part by the way, but what she said there? She's talking about bombs Yeah, that's what I don't understand Why is he talking about bombs? No because it opens a new realm for maintaining a safe secure and effective nuclear deterrent in an age where we do not have no I don't understand. By the way a fusion bomb or the type of bomb that they make which is a fission fission fission bomb yeah is a What's it got to do with this? It's got nothing to do with it when why is this better? We're done making a better bomb Yeah, we're number one. We've got a better bomb everybody whoo he's off the rails. This is not good mission allows us to replicate for the first time

06:37 certain conditions that are found only in the stars and the Sun. We're recreating the stars? His son! She just said it, it must be true. And the second thing it does of course... Well this is three things okay Wait wait wait The second thing it does OF COURSE Of course?! Is my favorite little bit there What do you think it is of course It makes it so we can have clean green energy. Yes, yes of course and the second thing it does of course is that this milestone moves us one significant step closer to the possibility of zero carbon abundant fusion energy powering our society. Oh I'm tearing up over this! If we can advance fusion energy

07:31 We could use it to produce clean electricity, transportation fuels power heavy industry so much more. It would be like adding a power drill to our toolbox in building this clean energy economy Oh my god if only I could add a power drill to my toolbox that would... What kind of an analogy is that? I know! It's like everyone has a power drill lady You're like, give me a hoverboard. Okay? Show me something that pays off on the big promise No, that's not what this is all about Don't worry We know where this is coming down to So today we tell the world

08:09 We are... I don't even want to know what you asked for that. America has achieved a tremendous scientific breakthrough Number one! One that happened because we invested Oh, sounds like she's winding up for some money pitch In our national labs. Oh yeah. Invested in fundamental research Thank you And tomorrow We'll continue to work toward a future that is powered in part by fusion energy. Thank you for the extra sound effect, John! Fortunately private sector investment and fusion research is already booming Good! It has reached nearly three billion dollars in last year alone Wow this is great! Last week's money Ukraine Yeah but this is private we don't have to worry about it so private good And we've heard from professors

09:01 that interest among students has never been higher. Students are very interested in fusion, which is terrific and that's why the Biden-Harris administration is aiming to capitalize on this moment. Capitalize money! Yes pitch me baby! Today's announcement it's a huge step forward to the president's goal of achieving commercial fusion within a decade There's still a lot more to do. Oh Listen to the laugh tell after she talks about 10 years to the president's goal of achieving commercial fusion within a decade But there's still a lot more to do Because she just said oh we'll achieve this all that it's the same well you see the laughs in is not I don't know these laugh tells usually show up before the

09:57 to bly not, although I guess they could show up anywhere but what is it even doing anywhere in this talk? Let's listen to it again. But what's happening here is the same as green hydrogen like this is great fantastic with the best $3 billion already in there and you know in 10 years will pay off that's the same hydrogen time frame lady its bold! Today's announcement is a huge step forward to the president's goal of achieving commercial fusion within a decade. But there is still a lot more to do, so much more We'll continue to work toward that goal and find other ways to progress To me it just means... It's never gonna happen

10:47 10 years but there's so much more, isn't it gonna happen? I think that's what the laugh tale was. It's not going to happen in ten years. Whatever the case is this 10-year nonsense... If you achieve if besides the well let's look at fusion energy if its achieved in a positive way it's a big deal. And you would ramp it so fast, you wouldn't know what hit you. So if this experiment was anything real, it could be scaled. Why can't you scale it? Make the little pill bigger or do whatever we have to do or just make a million of the little pills and then we'd do it that way. Whatever it would take, you wouldn't take 10 years to do it because... It's bull!

11:31 It's bull. It's tall bull, it's bull. Find other ways to progress to reach fusion energy so for example in September the Department of Energy made a 50 million dollar investment for public-private partnerships start working toward money fusion plant designs And we're partnering with the Office of Science and Technology Policy to map out the president's bold vision for driving that commercial fusion in the next decade. Bold! Very bold. With the highest safety standards, with cost-effective

12:08 equitable deployment. Oh, positions to lead and communities to thrive. Why does it have to be equitable? Because black people need power! It's a little ball of goo that they're flashing the laser on what's equitable about it I don't get it We can't just give that to the white people we have to give it to the black people. With the highest safety standards with cost-effective equitable deployment that positions American businesses to lead and communities to thrive. And with a skilled workforce that is diverse and inclusive, this is what it looks like for America to lead."

12:48 And we're just getting started. This is what it looks like for American elite, just a bold crap bunch of reporters that are there with their tongues hanging out writing down notes that are useless... With those big ears? ...you know what I mean? It's a good story about this was so bad I never even heard this part of it! With their big ears flapping in the wind lady but this does come at an opportune time because we have a massive massive problem with our renewables You know, and yes. So just recall in our lifetime in my lifetime we had global warming that had to be changed to climate change No but no let's start with global cooling come on! I don't know but I just want to stay with the elites part

13:33 Okay, we'll start with global cooling. First there was global cooling and then there was global warming okay? So now we're global warming that didn't work so well it turned into climate change And then weather is not climate and now of course this is climate related whether And so we had to roll out solar and wind power. And just at the moment where were relying on it the most with ugly evil Putin cutting off all of our EU and UK gas supplies, what happens? We are in the middle of a wind drought for several days now A stiff breeze has skirted the U.K., looping around from Norway across to the Atlantic

14:11 but Western Europe is there in the middle of it all and it's almost totally calm. It'll stay like that for a while yet, and that matters because our wind farms are almost all in Scotland and the North Sea. It's not until Wednesday or even Thursday that winds pick up and turbines start turning. The lack of wind is having a big impact on how we're generating our electricity. This has been our energy mix over the last year. Wind produced around 28%, gas 42% and coal just 1.6%. But look at the mix from lunchtime on Monday, gas power stations have been ramped up producing 61% of our electricity wind is down to a little over 3%, about the same as being generated by coal. This snapshot is unusual but it does show the limitations of renewable energy in some weather conditions. Now wait! It's gonna get really bad

15:03 And winds are likely to get weaker with global warming. These are the projections on future wind speeds, even if nations collectively reach net zero soon after 2050. They drop significantly across the northern hemisphere shown by these shades of blue a phenomenon called global stilling and is caused by rapidly rising temperatures up in the Arctic So globe... I can't believe that scientists didn't know this. Global warming creates global stilling, why did we even start with the windmills if we knew that it would be globally still? I had this clip. Oh you did? Ah sorry

15:42 My intro is gonna be a little more different, but the thing that after listening to this thing and watching this guy and he's got his little pie chart with all the energy pieces on there. And then this idea... He could have punched it up The Global Stilling. It was like global stilling I don't know whether that's even accurate or whatever. He says it is based on the fact that the Arctic is freezing over because it's getting warmer. What got me from the very beginning was the fact that England, which is a coal producing self-sustaining coal producing state with giant coal mines and whales all over them... The reason for the British Isles is for this coal. Coal! That's what started the British Empire They're using 1.6

16:30 And by the way, it's crazy. It was much less than anywhere else in the world China United States we should get those numbers but they're not that low that's ridiculously low so it brings me to a couple of interesting points I think at least to me The first time I went to England in 73 it was coal-powered now Was that for the Sex Pistols concert? Yeah and I had to change my shirt two or three times a day because of the soot. Because you do, it was just soot. The bottom of your sleeves black, it was black around your... The London fog? And this is after the London fog they put a stop to that that wasn't 55. So they, around your neck, your collar was black, it's just black everything now of course this was all, they could have that, that could still be going on here

17:27 where we use a lot of coal, but there are filters that are called electrostatic precipitators and cyclones and all kinds of devices that keep that from happening. They could have done that in England you wouldn't had all this mess but they're lazy about it And the other thing was, which really kind of still annoys me to no end. Some years later when I was running for PCMag UK, I went to this big event out in the middle of nowhere and there is this... it's a giant hall and in the hall there were like 12 fireplaces all burning coal to keep the place cold. It was nice and toasty warm wasn't it? Not only that! It was a beautiful fire Yeah, it looks nice, it feels good. It goes forever

18:10 You get up in the morning and you just go, chk-chk. And it's back? Pretty much! It goes for about 12, 15, 16 hours without doing much to it and it's like burning rocks as I always called it so they banned... In England because of these idiots they banned all coal fires So you can't have one in your house, you can't have a decorative one, you can't have one! You can't have a coal fire for any reason whatsoever. What is the point of this? And it's just like... You're gonna ask me again! It's down to 1.6, it's a coal country give me a break! You know the answer this is The Great Reset and people are just okay I'm going along with it. Yeah well this began before The Great Reset but it's definitely an element of that. That's what you say. And then the idea that you can't burn coal is ludicrous

19:06 Well, welcome to the world. Everyone knows it's going to kill us. It is killing everybody! We can't have coal we can't have gas... ...we need wind and solar and now fusion!...and hydrogen! We got no fusion! We got no hydrogen!!! Bull crap, we're in for a troubled time. Yes! We are. Well luckily the United States...we talk big game but we still have the coal. Yeah well okay. We talk big game but we still have the coal and we're still burning it and we're still shipping it to China too. We got lots of coal. We have 350 years

19:44 at what's known are normal coal reserves, the ones that are known of power for the whole country. If we use just nothing but coal 350 years... We're good to go. I had a question about some energy related stuff in the United States, maybe this clip can help us? We learned overnight that a large section of the Keystone oil pipeline has been restarted The entire pipeline had to be shut down last week after an oil spill in Kansas but now a section from Western Canada to Illinois is operating again The cause of the spill is under investigation as the cleanup continues Now...I feel very confused by this! This thing was shut down. What will shut I blew and I heard this story You your thought was the same as mine hmm what? What what I thought Biden's shutting down So do you know it went on there?

20:35 There was a maintenance problem apparently. They couldn't find any evidence to sabotage it? No, but why is it working at all you're asking me?! I have no idea how they ever started! Ah okay... A troll in the trap room says it's not the XLFFS Which means for fuck's sake because hey, thanks for being a troll dick. It's the Keystone not the Keystone XL There's your difference okay alright with that you could have just said that normally douche No these guys have to be douches That's why they've got no girlfriends and the social life is crap Hang out with a bunch of fat guys come on now I would I do want to check in on one other story which i think

21:26 It gives us another little tip of what's a little, it lifts the veil of what's coming in our future when it comes to energy. And there was this shorter story The clip custodian got that got me interested. Tonight authorities in New York are trying to find out why a massive fire tore through a police impound lot in Brooklyn. Firefighters struggled to beat back the flames at least eight minor injuries were reported the facility was filled with cars and motorbikes that had been towed including many being kept as evidence in criminal cases All right, so I'm like What's this, like trying to get rid of evidence? You know what could what happened here. This thing is massive it's much bigger than this clip. Thick black smoke shrouded Brooklyn throughout the day seen far and wide this building used by NYPD to store

22:15 evidence caught fire around 10 30 this morning, according to officials. We have about 14 members of the service who work here and we did have some outside contractors here about six contractors. The contractors went into the warehouse to start performing their task and they observed a fire. Okay so that first of all I'm thinking they the contractor's went in started their task which I don't know what their task was And then they observed a fire So the contractors may be no change No change the word observed just started Yeah, correct. Yes exactly and they started a fire okay but how did they start the fire? Well... The contractors went into the warehouse to start performing their task and they observed the fire But there were challenges to putting it out The FDNY says the metal building partially collapsed at one point as they moved to an exterior attack What kind of fire is this?! From the street It's melting! It's melting steel! Air and the wind

23:07 water. We also are using our drones in the air to pinpoint where we have the fire so we can move around the boats and sort of extinguish all of the fire that's possible this building was used to store dozens of e-bikes and a variety of vehicles as... E-bikes, electric bikes they are truly the most dangerous battery operated devices these things catch fire all the time It's the e-bikes. I'm telling you this was the e-bikes and they probably ignited a Tesla or two. That's possible This building was used to store dozens of e-bikes and a variety of vehicles as evidence They were also storing a large volume of biological evidence DNA items from crime scenes, but the NYPD says rape cases were not kept here

23:58 No rape kits though. Why? The evidence goes back a long time, 20-30 years. Mmmmm... This is—all of this sounds so sketchy! A lot some of the evidence was also from Sandy. Well we still don't know— From Sandy Evidence from Sandy, Hurricane Sandy. Oh okay. No the full extent of this damage officials believe... What evidence was there from Sandy that they'd have to keep their weather modification? Most of the items in this space are likely destroyed This fire is probably going to go on for a few days. This is why I think e-bikes by the time we're able to fully extinguish it and get inside possibly to you know get to the deep seated areas. The NYPD was very clear that this was not a location where they brought cars that were towed for traffic violations so the public doesn't have to worry about that but they are calling this a loss for the department and it's still unclear how this would impact ongoing crime investigations

24:56 Yeah, we're going to hear a lot more about batteries being unhealthy for your life. I'm pretty sure about that. Well yeah there's no doubt about it but this still seems to me to be kind of sketchy and listen to this guy...yeah he lost the evidence of it all, his DNA gone, i don't know what we're gonna do But NO RAPE KITS! Don't worry why? That's not the first thing I thought of but okay Yeah, no rape kids. Oh rape kids don't worry That's not the first thing where we'll keep the rape kits will still be sitting aside never be looked at for the next right next decade They'll be safe and we will have fusion before they check out the rape kits sure yeah I saw that story I said this is so phony just to watch some what there was one thing That someone had to destroy and they did it how are you gonna do it Louie? I don't know We're gonna get to burn the whole place down Okay, that's what we'll do

25:54 I got a note from producer Sandra in Portugal. She originally she's has them for Porto, Portugal but she's not there anymore. In the early 2000s some of our public buses were replaced by hydrogen powered vehicles early 2000s this was part of it. This was part of an EU project called CUTE These buses ran smoothly all over the city for years. Around Obama's presidency, the hydrogen buses were replaced by natural gas-powered vehicles which are still being used this year our City Mayor and the president of STCP, the equivalent of the MTA in Porto gave a press conference introducing brand new clean energy buses! They're hydrogen busses

26:36 So just we had hydrogen, it was now what was the flavor of the year? It was natural gas and now we're back to hydrogen. Before you know it fusion is in your future! We have a bunch of hydrogen buses in Alameda County. Yeah sure so I when they first came out this side take a ride on one and it was at this beginning point so I could chat with the bus driver because she's been driving his bus for awhile And she says, you know they don't have as much... and there is fuel cell buses. She says they don't have as much oomph but they're okay, they're fine, they're smooth except their little top heavy and it's kind of distressing because like... Because they wobble back-and-forth? Well I guess if would be on the point of tipping over or something. Really?! That doesn't sound good! I guess the batteries are on the roof i'm not sure what how this thing balance This thing is all dumb

27:33 Now the worst... Oh and also, by the way she also confirmed it makes a whining sound when she's eating. There was I just have to point this out I want people to go read the article for themselves it's from NBC News I could not believe that NBC wrote this, and of course I could. Headline how Dutch farmers became the center of a global right-wing culture war Oh brother! oh yeah and so they talked to this one guy Eric Luiten 52 he's a farmer This tall affable and soft spoken man is more likely found tending to 150 dairy cows at his farm in the windswept green flatness of the Eastern Netherlands

28:13 A sixth generation farmer on this land, he knows the name of each cow and that of its parents. The vast barn echoes to pop classics including Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley. So someone's rickrolling somebody here... There has been research on what music cows like best with a knowing grin and it is not classical! Luyten52 is a national organizer in a campaign to stop Dutch government plans to potentially shut thousands of farms in order to reduce harmful nitrogen emissions by half in 2030. A plan that critics say will change the country's huge agricultural industry forever Not just critics, everybody can see it! Okay and now

28:54 This grassroots protest movement has been driven largely by ordinary farmers like Lauten and their supporters. But it has another element... The far right, radicalized by the opposition to strict COVID measures and spurred on by conspiracy theories about globalists dismantling national democracies and importing non-white immigrants to majority white countries these activists see the farmers as the last victims of an assault on Western civilization itself! And then the next one, I'll just read this and then you have to read it for yourself. As conspiracy-driven telegram groups right wing commentators and some lawmakers would baselessly put it Dutch farms are being shut down to make space for asylum seekers! Right wing populists around the world have offered their support for the farmer stand including former president Donald Trump Francis Marine Le Pen and Poland's far right populous government

29:49 I mean it just goes on and on and on and on into racist... The only thing they don't do is mention us. Everything else is in there, Tucker, Russell Brand everyone got a mention. Everybody got a mention we didn't get a single mention although I did call this douchebag out what's his name Patrick Smith at P Smith Is that the writer? Yeah at p smith on Twitter he immediately blacked me They blocked you on Twitter? Yeah, this is the stuff here. The latest from Patrick. Let's see what else he reports on Harry and Meghan take direct aim at the royal family Okay Thank you What the US sending a Patriot missile defense system to Ukraine could mean for Putin's war Ancient coins unearthed in desert cave I mean this guy is easily all over the place Anyway so So I said we're gonna shave his head and march him naked down Main Street turns out the guys bald It was kind of bad

30:49 That's why he blocked you. He doesn't like to be pushed around by people who are bald. Bad threat! So I was thinking about this and it's like, so the Dutch are willing to give up an important cultural...I think probably a pole just an important cultural Product, that's it. Cheese! The Dutch make some of the world's most famous cheeses and you can't do that without those cows It is in fact those cows that make the cheese Indeed No they don't give a shit You know what? So much for Edam And Gouda Gouda one of the worlds most famous and popular cheese is gouda Smoked or not

31:40 Yes, screw it. I like the medium-aged Gouda and I can go for an old age too but the young...I don't like the young stuff that's a little too much for me. I like it when it gets a little soft but if you can find someone who smokes it correctly That's what she said If you can find someone who could smokes it correctly in other words is not so smoky as like ugh You taste like you got a briquette in your mouth No, I don't like that at all So there you go on the climate change everybody. That's just great! Everything is going great over there, that's great it's great. And how we went from from fusion to cheese? Well now we went from fusion took to Dutch nitrogen to cows to cheese and it was you who took us to cheese I did You didn't yeah...took us the cheese

32:38 There was some other stuff going on. Let's play this as a little in between the fruit picking robots Fruit-picking robots Israeli startup Tevel has developed flying robots that can pick fruit autonomously It could be a glimpse into the future They are driven by sophisticated software machine vision Data streaming came from surrounded 3D cameras in the system, in their robots and they're taking a lot of decisions. What is the fruit? What is the foliage, how to access the fruit if it's ripe or not ripe The buzz of flying robots reverberates in a mock orchard bursting with fake apples The robots fly around and pick fruits straight off the trees before depositing them into bins That makes life easier for farmers And the machines don't need breaks We can walk also at night, the robots are equipped

33:30 small LEDs that illuminate the trees and the environment, they can work also at night. Actually they can work 24-7." According to the Israeli startup, the machines could cut food prices and be more cost effective. Our flying autonomous robots we call it FAR. They are small agile and cost effective robots that fly. They're equipped with a gentle gripper that holds very gently the fruit with no bruising. They have four motors and driven by control algorithms that enable access to every foot of the tree." The robots are already paired with farmers in orchards in Italy and the US. There's a great increase in interest in agriculture technology, an investment is growing very rapidly

34:18 So going from 2025, the investment is expected to grow by around 20% to 2026. But these robots won't replace all farm workers just yet. Researchers say the technology would need to be more robust and inexpensive. I don't know if you've ever owned a fruit tree but there's fruits sometimes that are so deep in there...I don't know how that robot can get in there it doesn't make sense No, no it doesn't make sense. It doesn't It's cute though, I like the idea of these robots. They're all eating fruit. This is just a heads up... And by the way since it runs 24-7 that robot probably goes three hours and craps out of battery life Oh yeah this is all bull You're absolutely right All of this stuff The electric planes! I love the personal drones that you can get in yourself and fly around for exactly 27 minutes

35:20 It's like, just dream on because Elon failed. He did not deliver on the battery technology it is just no there and by the way let us talk about Elon for a second Elon! Yeah, Elon. What is- here's an update on Elon. Next, Elon Musk has suspended a Twitter account that's been tracking his private jet. He previously asked the college student behind the account to stop publishing his jets location but now he's threatening legal action after claiming that someone was trying to stalk his son Last month musk said he would not ban the flight tracking accounts citing his commitment to free speech but apparently he's changed his mind

35:59 Okay, apparently he changed his mind again because as of this morning those accounts have been reinstated. Yeah oh really? Oh that's too bad because I was all happy that the Elon's jet had showed up on in the Fediverse so we could still follow it just fine Well that's probably why they reinstate it...I have two Twitter clips Elon-ish clips, I guess. And they're in a nutshell clip so they're kind of wrapping things up and this is I believe from NTD. Multiple legal experts are reportedly saying the FBI may have violated First Amendment rights by allegedly colluding with big tech that comes after journalists released multiple installments of the so called Twitter files

36:41 Journalist Matt Taibbi last week released an installment of the so-called Twitter files, allegedly revealing that Twitter's former head of safety Yoel Roth not only met weekly with the FBI and DHS but with the office of the director of national intelligence. Hey this is NTD... This guy could be working at Begay's level He's definitely a pig-aced type. He is a candidate. Very distinctive voice. Very, very.

37:23 Twitter reportedly decided to add a learn how voting is safe and secure label to the tweet after the FBI flagged it. That installment of the twitter files also shows Twitter's current policy director, Nick Pickles allegedly working with the FBI in... Come on man no one's name is actually Nick Pickle that has gotta be an alias There's just no way pickles pickles here. No, there's no way there's no Sorry that guy I With the FBI and DHS a senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation told Fox News That Twitter can suppress a tweet since this is Fox News This is not NTD No wonder

38:08 He's taking it from Fox. Oh, okay. He is stealing the material from Fox News. ...company but only if Twitter is acting on its own However he said quote when a private company is censoring information based on direction coordination and cooperation with the government Then legally it may be considered to be acting as an agent for the government And it may be found to be violating the First Amendment Senior distinguished fellow at the University of St. Thomas School of Law told the outlet we now know that the intelligence community Interacted on a regular basis with Twitter and other platforms Seemingly to advise them to monitor what the IC considered objectionable content All right now before we go to your second clip here I have the list of

38:56 of retired spooks FBI agents working at Twitter. I know it's a great long list yes let me give it to you real quick Kevin Michalina current Twitter senior corporate security analyst 12 years FBI intelligence analyst. It's almost all the FBI? Yeah, it was all FBI Doug Hunt he's a senior director to 20-year veteran Mark Jaruzelski current Twitter Director of Corporate Security and Risked FBI Douglas Turner current Twitter Senior Manager corporate and executive security services We got one Patrick G, head of corporate security. A lot of corporate security. Corporate resilience that's Karen Walsh we got Twitter senior staff technical program manager I mean the whole list and it could go is like 15 ex-FBI agents working at Twitter in different roles That's a crazy or is just a coincidence

39:52 Oh yeah, and again we need to remind everybody that when Mark Zuckerberg was man of the year in 2010 on Time Magazine right there Robert Mueller then FBI director still two years longer than he should have been They had us make a special law. It had to make a special exemption to the law For him to clean up the 9-11 mess or whatever he was doing He just popped in and said hey I was I was just around the corner in the building How you doing everybody? Let's clean up my desk getting it ready, so it's it's so interesting To see that people are surprised by this Really we've known this Gambling yeah right Do you need to set up part two no I think please

40:40 He said the next Congress should make it a priority to investigate contacts between the intelligence community and the platforms, to see if government censorship took place. Various Republicans in Congress reportedly indicated that they would be in support of such an investigation. Senator Cynthia Loomis told Fox that the accumulation of accusations pointed at the FBI's Washington D.C. Bureau I think make it ripe for serious investigation by Congress National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby reportedly said on Sunday that the Biden administration is not telling social media companies how they should handle their content. What's he what does that guy even saying anything about this for?

41:24 And by the way, these hearings everyone's all jacked up because the Republicans are gonna start these hearings. Oh please! Remember the era where they brought Hillary... you know that Republicans were running everything and they brought Hillary... Benghazi! We'll nail her! Yeah, they brought Hillary in and she just sitting there chewing gum and shaking her head and rolling her eyes and spitting into a platoon She doesn't care what they have to say and says I don't think it's important snapping back at him. They got nothing accomplished and that was with that funny-looking Texas guy with the you know long or whatever state he's from this who's now got a show on Fox. Trey Gowdy. Yeah, he was the big shot up there big talker yeah oh yeah and by the way Trey Gowdy shows stinks

42:13 Drake Gowdy had... It stinks, man! It stinks. He had that guy I don't like that major what's-his-name that comes on and says we should quit Ukraine and get out of there? Exactly but you're so right because look at the bill that the Senate passed banning TikTok from government devices now i have been opinion that this is not about the Chinese government spying on anybody. Everyone's spying, app spy that's just what happens This is about I think paid stooges who want to who are working on behalf of either Twitter more likely Meta Facebook and probably Google to get the advertising whore which is TikTok which is sucking up all the cool money Get them out! And who introduced this bill?

43:08 Josh Hawley, Rick Scott, Marco Rubio Tom Cotton. These guys are all on the take Yeah they're all advertising yeah They're doing their bidding of those companies you're right It's all about this hey we got it made here what were doing and what is these interlopers coming in here aren't even American they're spying on us let's get rid of them Alright so And by the way, just to mention that... The American tech scene has always been lording it over the entire world. And to have somebody, like if some search engine suddenly appeared that was better than Google or whatever combination we'd like to use now they'd be bent out of shape because it's always assumed oh we're gonna go into Europe and we're gonna be the search engine cause they are too dumb to develop anything themselves so when the Chinese come out with a product TikTok which is you know

44:08 spy or not spy, I don't know. It's just that they can't put up with it! No... They're losers! Alright so Elon Musk is doing a phenomenal job at keeping everybody distracted while he puts his payment stack in place. Hilarious to see on Twitter someone tweeted BREAKING!!! Looks like Elon's creating Twitter XP And I love our producers going, oh my goodness that's so hard. That breaking is so hard we heard it three weeks ago and no agenda it's breaking so hard bro! It totally butt-slammed that guy So what does he do? He just keeps distracting with the jet story that's good for half a news cycle and of course

44:55 mother load. More changes at Twitter, Elon Musk eliminating the trust and safety council. The advisory group of civil and human rights organizations was formed to address content that includes hate speech child exploitation and suicide. Musk said the council was not the best structure for external insights. Meanwhile he faces backlash for attacking Dr Anthony Fauci suggesting that Foushee should be prosecuted for his actions during the pandemic Some health organizations are now threatening to leave Twitter. They're threatening to leave Twitter. Did they read the tweet? They just said this random story, they never read the tweet? No! Why would they do that?! Come on... So he sent out a tweet that said my pronouns prosecute slash Fauci. Which is funny but holy mackerel did the media get bent out of shape about this Well let's go to Morning Joe

45:55 with Mika and Joe, and they bring on a guy who should know better. The superstar in the morning of CNBC Andrew Ross Sorkin Mr Finance himself I can get off Twitter. I don't really care but i'm wondering what a guy spending 44 billion dollars on that he's got this brilliant mind for inventing things for creating things just every day? I wonder why is he acting like a back bench Republican in the House of Representatives instead of like the richest guy in the world, a guy who can actually take... It's confusing British politics with American politics. That's very funny that he would use you know, now Sorkin is an ex-New York Times

46:41 hotshot that is also counsel for relations. Oh, yeah he's the golden boy! He's the golden boy and so he is a I don't know if technically a spook but you might as well be and he comes in to do his hatchet jobs here and there. He's good No, he's not good. He screws this one up Republican in the House of Representatives instead of like The richest guy in the world A guy who can actually take the country positive places I don't understand it either. It's lost on me because, I always like to think that the economics of things make things rational and there are some things almost irrational to me about what is happening here both because you would think advertisers wouldn't want to be around this and if you saw last night he was at the Chappelle concert in San Francisco He gets booed on stage And all people who may not want to buy Teslas

47:38 genuinely, literally because of some of this. And so I wish I could make sense of it but... I'm struggling with that. Well you know, I am with you! So the guy who is in finance and talks about it all day long has not yet picked up on what Musk is doing he's applied for a license to basically be a bank but certainly to be a processor Andrew Ross Sorkin, Golden Child doesn't see it. He's like I don't understand why would he do all this? You know now the... This is not his assignment what are you kidding me?! He's a finance guy! His assignment is to go after Musk in this situation Okay good point Yeah yeah yeah So then we had the which I think is related

48:34 Actually, I'll tell you how it's related. One country is already getting ready to use the new Twitter X pay which will be payment authentication This is my theory Is that Elon wants to have the digital ID and The payment system which I think would be a central bank digital currency Maybe he'll it'll be different for each country. I doubt it's gonna be Dogecoin and maybe Australia would be first. A radical plan to crack down on social media abuse is being considered by the federal government for more Nines Oliver Haig joins us live in Adelaide Oli how will it work? Good morning essentially it'll work the same as a passport Australians forced to submit 100 points of identification like their driver's license or passport when using social media accounts like Facebook

49:25 Twitter. Now police will have access to those social media accounts and it's all part of a crackdown on online abuse now users could be liable for defamation suits or even criminal prosecution and it's all part of a plan hoping to deter people from engaging in bad behavior now the recommendations were handed down by federal parliamentary inquiry their reforms that are being considered by the Morrison government with the chairman saying there is merit to remove to remove the veil of being anonymous. Yeah, I mean the Aussies they were so compliant during COVID why wouldn't you try this there first? Oh yeah! You know seems like almost a no-brainer So then we had this big meeting led by Maxine Waters

50:16 as part of the House Financial Committee. And the poster child right now for all things digital payments and all things problematic, Sam Bankman-Fried was supposed to show up and testify. Before he could do that Oh, he got arrested in the Bahamas and under very iffy circumstances like oh we don't know if we can extradite him are we waiting for an extradition why did you arrest him well it's some real estate. It was to me it sounded like we can't have this moron testify We already thought that initially. I'm now not thinking well then let me make my case and i'd love to hear uh you go back on this first here's the arrest and another big story that we are following tonight stunning downfall of Sam Bankman-Friede, the founder of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX

51:06 Just over a month ago, he was riding high. A billionaire many times over. Well tonight he's in jail in the Bahamas facing US charges and what a federal prosecutor calls one of the biggest financial frauds in American history We get more now from CBS' Scott McFarlane Inside a heavily secured courthouse in the Bahamas this morning, 30-year old Sam Bankman Freed arrested and disgraced was denied bail and signaled he'd fight extradition to the US. This is one of the biggest financial frauds in American history Where the Justice Department charged Bankman Freed with numerous financial crimes including wire fraud, securities fraud and money laundering. Bankman Freeds company FTX based in the Bahamas and promoted by top celebrities was worth 32 billion dollars in January before a run on the company gutted it leaving its founder worth just more than 100... This guy is I think he's a new guy He's reading at a little bit little bit pro like kind of like MTV-ish

52:05 You know, until the company gutted it. He's puking this is CBS This is not a puke fest weird. It was worth 32 billion dollars in January before a run on the company gutted it Leaving its founder worth just more you know what I mean? It's not really a news read The guy said his problem is say gutting it like well he does that all time. More than 100 thousand His customers lost eight billion dollars Evren Lutra was one of them, telling CBS News he's 2 million in the hole. I'm pissed off about being scammed and by losing my money to a scam and fraud. I didn't knowingly commit fraud...I don't think I committed fraud Two days before his arrest Bankman Freeh was asked if he thought he'd be arrested

52:46 I don't think it will be. The FTX founder was scheduled to testify this morning on Capitol Hill, instead the company's current CEO brought in to right the ship described a shockingly unsophisticated organization with no accountants and where expenses were approved by emoji There was no sophistication whatsoever there was an absence of any management Now I'll tell you why I think that he was not in, and I have a theory as to what's going on here but... ...I'll tell you why I think he was not meant to testify and that is because ummm....he had already submitted his written testimony.

53:24 And Forbes got a hold of this and published the whole thing. And you just heard there at the end of that clip, this guy John Ray III he is the guy that was flown in immediately overnight we're not even sure who made the decision He's the guy that was flown into fix Enron and no doubt fix some things for some people, I'm just guessing. This guy comes out of the blue they fly him in boom he's in and right off the bat Sam Bankman-Friede testimony says I really would like to help but right away the chapter 11 team came in locked me out of everything I can't get my email I can even get into my bank account I can't pay any bills

54:08 It's continuously the chapter 11 team, the chapter 11 team. That's John Ray III! And he keeps saying over and over the first three pages of the chapter 11 team freezing otherwise interfering with funds I mean we could be giving this back to people it is my opinion That they didn't want him at any way discrediting John Ray III in this testimony. And that's why they had him arrested, what is your thought? Well that's as far from my thoughts as possible I mean the guy was 20 he's an idiot and And he's also a maniac and he still thinks that if you let him free, he can restructure a whole new deal and pay everyone their money back. He is completely insane this guy. Yes! We're in agreement. You don't want him... When you are shutting down the company like this for fraud and embezzlement which is what that guy says all he did really Is you don't want him running around the companies destroying evidence so you shut him out So what? That's not a big deal I wouldn't be shocked by that

55:09 The thinking was by the Justice Department that this guy could go to any number, dozens of countries because he had the money. Dozens of countries that had no extradition treaty with the United States and then sit himself there and just stay there The word was out that he was ready to do that. They had to get him arrested immediately in Bahamas, screw the testimony! He's full of shit we've heard him talk to people before his testimony wasn't gonna be any more than it was in their written statement so what? So what big deal I mean, totally agree me. You just made my point we can't have this guy messing up anything let's arrest him so that was my premise they arrested him so he wouldn't testify So we agree on it No they arrested him so he wouldn't escape the country and end up in a non-extradition

55:58 No, I'll tell you. What was he gonna do? What testimony was he gonna give that was gonna be meaningful in any way they did not want him discrediting John Ray the third That is the only thing and that's it Do you have a connection between him and John ray the third the chapter 11 see I'm telling you He in his testimony which would have been read which would have been submitted The chapter 11 team is John Ray. I'm telling you... Okay, well they shut him out? Yes! Of course that's what you have to do That's what i just said You're acting like we're saying something different. So he testifies and what's his testimony? What's the big thing he is going to say? There is nothing! No, there is nothing He has nothing you are misreading me The culprit... Here is what I am reading from you They arrested him in the Bahamas so that he wouldn't testify No, so he would not testify and discredit John Ray III That's all How is it gonna discredit him Because I'm reading his testimony And the whole

57:00 Opening the first three pages is discrediting the chapter 11 team, which is John Ray III. That's my point! But what sort of discreditation are we discussing here? He's being shut out of his own company and whining about it... Let's just- alright It doesn't matter they didn't want him to testify period Doesn't matter I'm in agreement Okay, fine. And that testimony you discussed is public so we all know about it. Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah that's really how things go viral and people find out about things I'm going to make my case as to what's really going on. Federal prosecutor St. Bankman Freed also violated campaign finance law using millions of dollars in customer funds to make illegal campaign contributions to members of both political parties trying to influence the regulation of cryptocurrency He faces a maximum 115 years in prison

57:55 Nora. Yeah, the story's not over Scott McFarlane thank you so much Exactly and he is going to go to jail He is the fall guy, he IS an idiot, he is stupid because it is the CEO of Alameda She's the one she made the decisions she co-mingled funds She also probably humped him when he was getting a little bit out of line She's the one connected directly to MIT and Gary Gensler She's the one that has all the connections her dad is so tightly connected and now she's got the best securities lawyer She'd got you know who was supposed to be setting up When he was in government, he would be working on regulation. She's the one she's protected and Bankman Freed is going to jail for a long time completely abused by his parents And it was beautiful the parents by the way if you hear some of the stories about them in court

58:53 into some of these hearings. They're really a something! They're giggling and they're laughing, rolling their eyes are making a scene. Yeah they don't give a crap... Their son's going away and they're bad parents. They are very very bad by the way both Stanford professors. So he was just saying oh yeah okay now if you gonna stop let me continue Well, you made a point back there that you're not going to make again it seems to me. There is something amiss about these political donations and the thing that's really... I could see well maybe you don't want them talking about that why did you decide to give Maxine Waters so much money because you know the Republicans are gonna ask questions They're not gonna ask questions! Well here's the thing now that you just brought that up

59:48 all of a sudden out of the blue when it looked like he was really giving to deal mostly these woke up senators and congressmen and people that he wanted. He didn't want, you know anti-Trump people all that sort of thing the word comes out well he gave to both parties it was bipartisan. Where did that come from? And what bipartisan are we talking about this thing was so meant to be tightly controlled by Maxine Waters who of course has taken all kinds of goodies from the FTX crew that she tried to shut this thing down before even all the House members had asked their questions. I would like to enter into the record, the closing statements from Ranking Member McHenry and myself and i'd like to thank you Mr John Ray III for your presence here today. Chairwoman Waters? I've not had an opportunity to testify or to question the witness

1:00:42 I'd like to thank you for your presence. Chairwoman Waters, parliamentary inquiry? Yes Are all members entitled to question witnesses? You are and if you would like to miss the votes on the floor for everybody It's the chairwoman prerogative to call a recess That is your decision not mine Just one moment, please. You may go right ahead and have five minutes. Thank you. Thank you Madam Chair. You're certainly welcome sir! Big F-U from Maxine She was trying to shut it all down like let's just move along people I've got everything i need It's good to go we don't need any confusing talk about donations And I'm telling you right now it's the Carolyn CEO chick she's the one Well you might be right about that That...I don't have that in my arsenal to argue

1:01:30 But I'll say this, Maxine Waters is so slimy and slippery she'll get away with it. She's just be fine. She'll be fine. Oh sure! There were some stars present and some funny moments It's really hard to find true victims And i've asked around... The woman's name by the way is Carolyn Ellison. I even asked Horowitz Has any of your clients had any Any losses from FTX?" He said, not a single one. I said, I'm looking for the victims you know? I think this was largely a victimless crime yeah there were some big whales and oh okay well Kevin O'Leary who on one he didn't lose money he didn't get paid his 12 million dollars for promoting this now he says it was twelve At least one ESG ratings firm gave FTX a higher score for governance than Exxon Mobil

1:02:25 and Pay no attention to O'Leary, it's what she says that's funny. I take issue Senator with your concept that it makes it easier to do money laundering. Currencies... It's talking about now we're talking about all kinds of crypto! It's too easy for money laundering! ...have been used for drug trafficking since the 60s in the American dollar when it was thrown out of a pipe or aircraft and a duffel bag The American dollar is also used by bad actors all the time Mr. O'Leary

1:03:01 I appreciate your point that everyone tries to engage in money laundering. That's what terrorists do, that's what drug company- uh drug dealers do and the- Truth comes out Lizzie! Oh yeah drug companies they want to launder their money yes they do Yes they do And now finally we wrap it up with who is this Barr fellow? He must be another he must be a Republican asking John Ray about the ESG score of this company. At least one ESG ratings firm gave FTX a higher score for governance than Exxon Mobil

1:03:44 Given your testimony that FTX has collapsed stems from the absolute concentration of control in the hands of a very small group of grossly inexperienced and unsophisticated individuals who failed to implement virtually any Of the systems or controls necessary for a company that is entrusted with other people's money or assets What would you say about this? ESG governance rating which rated FTX higher than Exxon Mobil I'd get my money back. Exactly, these are the cool things you learn in one of these hearings that of course never makes it anywhere It's all a big scam all of it so this Carol Ellison was another she's a daughter of another professor at MIT yeah the MIT guy and was at MIT who was Gary Gensler's boss okay also at MIT mm-hmm

1:04:46 Yeah, I mean... Yes. Den of thieves! Big den of thieves and she's got some hot shot lawyer No, no, no Now I have to follow this because if she is the mastermind Well, I don't know if she's the mastermind but why wouldn't you have her in custody? She's in New York walking around getting cappuccinos I mean how can not be culpable as CEO of Alameda which all it is bankrupt now All of it Not just FTX Anyway, it's good question. Why is she why isn't she locked up? Exactly not only that but the other guy could be dead by the time they get him out of there because they put it there Reports that's like one of the worst jails in the world when these hanging out in oh and the Bahamas Yeah, you'd get a shiv FTX someone sent me a Wikipedia entry FTX also acronym for field training exercise just thought that was interesting

1:05:49 When it comes to money though, the Rabobank which is one of the largest retail banks in the Netherlands has been sending letters to customers who often get 200 euros from the ATM. And it's a big warning note. We notice that you've been taking out 100 or 200 euros at a time, you really have to know that this is incredibly dangerous to have this amount of cash and by getting these big amounts these hundred euro bills you're actually propagating fraud and money laundering and drug trafficking because this money has only been touched by money launderers and fraudsters

1:06:41 And they're sending this to their customers. Do we have a... is this true? I saw, I have two notes two letters pictures of them. Do you have any photocopies of the notes? Yeah, well it's Dutch! Well i want to put them in a newsletter okay and how about I do that and I translate it for you yes please thank you let me just see what uh bring it up right here there's a couple of these actually people have been tweeting these letters And yeah, they're saying it's... here we go. Let me just embiggen this for a second. Translating on the fly? Oh man! Why can't you just put that picture in there and take me to Twitter to click on it again?! I'm so fed up with this linking shit. Okay. So they give you some alternatives. The risks of cash money

1:07:30 If you're getting bills of $200,000 and $500,000 there you are risking using cash money and being unwittingly involved in whitewashing laundering terrorism financing and other criminal activity. This could also be the case... So you buy an apple in the corner store and you give a guy couple of euros, and now you're involved in money laundering? It goes further. You could even be involved if you accept a large bill like this How does that work? Well someone says hey I owe you 200 euros and they give you two hundred years I guess there's a 200 yeah is it 200 euro bill uh you accepting that you could actually be helping criminal activity

1:08:18 How? Just by keeping them... I'm reading it in real time, John. They're not saying how they're saying so there's just saying yes yes i'm reading it live okay money from that no i get what you're doing i'm just asking the questions that would be obvious to anyone who has common sense money that originates with criminal activity is often cut into smaller pieces and put into the financial system. The system, the financial...the system. 200 euro so they are whitewashing a million euros but they split up in the two hundred and five hundred euro bills and it's probably all criminal and you shouldn't be taking out of the ATM So any cash is criminal there you go we should get a jingle And it used to be 500 euros they've now made at 200 mm-hmm

1:09:19 Criminal cash may be even better if you just swap those around that there's your jingle. No, no, I like ashes criminal criminal my jingle makers get on that So that's that's what's happening? That's nuts Yeah, it's and still Well here's another when did then we have the you talking about one bankers another Bank is my WTH clip play it Danish Bank, you know, but just The Justice Department announced that the largest bank in Denmark has pleaded guilty to defrauding American banks and will forfeit $2 billion. Danske Bank also agreed to a separate settlement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and will pay over 400 million dollars to settle charges. The bank also settled with Danish authorities. The agreement with United States settles a long-running investigation into billions of dollars in illicit payments

1:10:14 The case has plagued the company for nearly five years and was part of one of the largest ever money laundering scandals. Prosecutors alleged that bank lied about their customers in Estonia an anti-money laundering controls as a result US banks accepted 160 billion dollars from high risk clients outside of Estonia Officials are still investigating the case Oh man, there's so much corruption coming out now. Let me just ask the question you just read that note. The bank seem to be the criminals why are they pinning it on the poor customers? Hello! Hello of course So what piece-of-shit bank was it that wrote that note your reading? The Rabobank, the same bank that owns mechanics FYI

1:11:03 They don't own Mechanics. They bought Mechanics! You told me that they were purchased? No, no, no. Mechanics purchased a Robobank subsidy that was in the United States Oh I'm sorry other way around okay so from from the RoboBank That's the bank Well, they got the right name. Rob you bank! Robbo! But meanwhile things are popping in the EU everybody's corrupt I think the details of this case so far is partly what has shocked people across Brussels and beyond So Belgian prosecutors came out on Friday and said that they carried out a series of raids on properties across Brussels They'd seized

1:11:47 600,000 euros in cash. And as well over the weekend we learned that among those arrested four had been charged among them is reported to be Eva Kalli who is this Greek MEP, Vice President of the European Parliament one of 14 although she has now been stripped off her powers by the European Parliament president Roberta Metzola also reportedly charged Francesco Georgi, a parliamentary assistant and her partner Eva Calle's partner. So among the four charged we are told now I think for

1:12:28 MEPs, the European Parliament. It's going to raise some big questions and the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has today come out and said there is a question now of public trust in the institutions of the European Union. And MEPs are in fact now gathered or gathering in Strasbourg, the French city where they meet for their regular plenary session this unfolding scandal is completely overshadowing events there and is likely to dominate proceedings. So, the Greek Hadi is the one in the headlines. But there have been four socialist members of European Parliament who have stepped down now because of this Pietro Bartolo Andrea Cozzolino Maria Arena and Mark Tarabella so it's all socialists all on the take all in this scam to vote Qatar as the

1:13:24 the place for the 2022 World Cup and they apparently took bags of cash money not crypto by the way, cash cash money And it's the liberals. It's the socialists who are doing this the socialists their board Okay, I have just an interlude Listen to this report and I'll tell you who this is. 51 year old Catherine Arrue Jones faces a judge in bond court on Friday instead of a national audience that many know her from under the name of Cathy Arrue as a former contributor for Fox News Now we see her in this mugshot What we find here is very

1:14:04 incredibly tragic situation of elderly exploitation. An arrest affidavit says Catherine Nauru Jones victimized her 88-year old mother, first without her knowledge transferring ownership over mothers home to herself through a quitclaim deed and then stealing $224,000 from her finances including proceeds of reverse mortgage I could keep going on so she kidnapped her mom She stole her money, reverse mortgaged her house. Who was she? She was the liberal Sherpa from Tucker Carlson's show! Another liberal! Do you remember her?

1:14:45 Oh no, I don't. But if i saw a picture of her probably would She's also the one who after appearing on Tucker show for a couple years then accused him of sexual harassment in a hotel and Hannity and a couple other Fox people oh you can't trust these people And it turns out that she... She is a criminal Yes! She's a grifter but she literally was the The liberal spokesman. They always have their balance coverage Exactly exact you gotta see that whole bit and she looks like so haggard compared to how she look kind of cute

1:15:21 They have makeup artists at Fox. Good ones! All right, there's a little bit more about this Eva Kali thing... This is dynamite! Qatar denies any involvement but Kylie has now been charged by Belgian police as part of a corruption investigation they raided 16 homes in Brussels on Friday and seized 600 thousand euro in cash along with computers and phones Trade union boss Luca Vicentini and former MEP Antonio Panzeri have also been questioned. Greek authorities have frozen all of Eva Kaili's assets, and those of her family. There will always be some for whom a bag of cash is always worth the risk

1:16:04 And what is essential, is that these people understand that they will get caught. Some who have worked inside the European Parliament are not surprised by this scandal I think that the real problem here we need to address is the fact that the wrongdoings of MEP's Not just MEP but also very senior staff members in there Are actually covered up by the administration Journalists had to force a response during a Monday press conference.

1:16:44 Indeed, if any kind of new information occurs we will have to act and react to that. Apart from being extremely serious analysts say this is very embarrassing for EU authorities as they always present the bloc as being whiter than white pointing the finger at alleged corruption around the world It's understood officials here in the EU are bracing themselves sources tell us there will be further revelations in the coming days Oh yeah, the top official at the Bank of France central banker Sylvie Goulard stepped down

1:17:23 During a probe of suspicion of accepting bribes influence peddling illegal conflicts of interest breach of trust It's happening everywhere that they're squeezing people out man, they're gonna blame all these people for the pending collapse or so whatever is gonna happen now What how did this begin? We knew about it, it was a week ago when this woman you know that we first found out about and has been just... It's been again ballooning in importance. Well how did this begin specifically? All of the sudden all I know is we heard about the raids

1:18:06 So for some... Yeah, but what? Somebody had to be a whistleblower in Qatar. We don't know anything yet! We have no information on that. We don't know anything and there's something very suspicious about this because once you get on the take uh You're always on it. You have to be-you're gonna be on the take forever Because they have-you have to do stuff The thing that makes this story great Is this Ava Kaili? She's too pretty for politics. There is no way, it makes no sense! Have you seen her?! I went and looked at a gallery of her photos she is... And we sound like couple executive producers who do TV shows. This is why we talk in this way yeah.

1:18:50 I think moderately attractive and she has, but it's like giving her about a 70% photogenic result because there is a lot of photos of her that do not make her look as pretty as she does in her best photos. And the only ones that the media is showing are the pretty photos so I think we may be... Okay, we're being duped? A little? I think were being duped a little bit cause you know the pretty girl has to be you know conniving pretty girl, mean girls. I mean it has all these... She got long legs! She's got long legs and that sort of thing so i'm not convinced if you saw her in person that you'd be that impressed okay well but still the you look at or you're not your typical member European Parliament vice president of Starfleet command is just not this not typical yeah now remember

1:19:46 That's interesting actually. When did Dominique Strauss-Kahn get kicked out? Oh, that was some time back! But wasn't that just before the financial collapse? No we need a timeline... We can get on the Wikipedia I can tell you exactly when that happened because he got kicked out by Lagarde, yeah. There's also another person who if you look at a lot of photos of her you're gonna find some real gems of making her look like holy mackerel oh yeah so when was he kicked out? He was kicked out... 20... why is it so hard to hear 2011

1:20:35 That's a little, little late. No it's a little late on that day. Way too late. Yeah I know it was way too late interesting...I don't know! I don't know Unless there is something else going on we do not know about which is more than likely There are also these reports that Merkel Now they're Russian reports of course from RT and you're not gonna hear that anywhere else We might as well read it to you Well the Merkel stuff floating around the out-of-country intelligence community that she's just a stooge for the United States. She was useless for Germany. Confession by former German Chancellor Angela Merkel about the Minsk peace agreements could be used as evidence in a tribunal involving Western politicians responsible for provoking the Ukraine conflict between Moscow and Kiev sounds like a stretch but apparently she said something in some

1:21:30 I'm kind of on board with the idea that this provocation took place for the purpose, I don't know what the long game is but some people think it may be to combine nicely with this corruption scandal. I think the EU's under attack by the United States. Especially when central bankers are going down. Yeah something's up. Did you get a little note speaking of elites about the Biden Department of Energy official who was stealing, uh... stealing these suitcases. The suitcase guy we talked about him last show! Right but I got an answer about you know you were saying why don't we have something to protect these suitcases? A system that would be in place that make it so you can steal suitcases effortlessly So Joe who is our insider in the industry from NLREA.net which is airline dot net

1:22:28 Backwards heard your comments. Basically, it's a cost-benefit thing at airports that have high theft rates They rope off the bag pickup and a guard verifies the bag tag with the bag check sticker on your ticket or app This is rare though Very rare. I have never encountered it. The airlines are responsible for the cost of lost bags if the cost of stolen bags exceeds the cost of guards, the airlines will pay for guards... It's rare it gets to that point! Exactly! It's so simple! It has always been that way. It has its costs and benefits. The Pinto effect. Pay the bills who cares? It is not going to blow up that much

1:23:10 It's easier to pay. Cheaper, cheaper to pay. And with that I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you the man who put the Cs in the cash is criminal ladies and gentlemen please say hello to my friend on the other end Mr John C D'Amore Hello Mr Adam Curry also good morning ships of sea go ahead in the morning boots on the ground feedin' the air subs at the water day and nights out there In the morning to the trolls in the troll room hello trolls You can find them a troll room They hang out there.

DeVorek at noagendasocial.com from anywhere where you are get on the Fediverse there you go so we said Let's see, thank the artists for episode. Yes it is very controversial this artist thing. So we always as a part of our value for value model which means we believe that we create a very valuable product if you think it's valuable return that in some fashion We ask for time talent treasure I will get to the treasure in a moment but the time and talent definitely comes from our artists who make sure that we have some art or some are to choose from

1:26:32 from no agenda art generator comm every single episode and we do just that and we have an announcement I want to, you're supposed to say something. Ladies and gentlemen John has announcements For all the artists for the next few newsletters i'm going to need some Christmas art And I've been digging into the archives to get the ones that have been using for the newsletter Like these are all very old The last couple of newsletters and we just wanted some anything We got very little Christmas art it's all twit

1:27:09 Like if I look at the page, there's a lot of greens and there's a bunch of tweets and it's Twitter art. And it's just... There is very little seasonal art anyone's doing. And I'm complaining about it but mostly for the benefit of the news so not having to use really you know art that's eight years old as none of its stolen But I'm just saying, I'm looking at this page of art and it's just like this is nothing even remotely seasonal about any of this stuff. Well the first thing we'll do is uh... We want to congratulate Tantanille. I believe that was two in a row for her Yes, there was a very controversial choice. Uh..we selected the This Bag Has No Agenda which we both liked The tag on the bag John took immediate exception to the Curry Dvorak coloring on the bag itself

1:28:00 Yeah, it was hard to see. It was in fact I didn't even see it with my eyes all I saw was the tag I didn't even seek...I didn't tell you at the time. No, I had this feeling that you saw it because you weren't complaining about it at all Well now we so first of all there's a couple of issues You right away said I really like the Elon Musk comic strip blogger Joker art yeah and I said here's my stand I... By the way this is important for the artists to hear. I refuse, now I won't always catch it, I refused to put so-called AI generated anything into this program. Certainly art! Now I said that I thought that I had do not have that same opinion and I vouched for my Slavic brother you did

1:28:52 You did, you did like a shill. Like a Slavic shill! Yes we do that's what you're supposed to do. It was in fact I even think you took on a bit of the accent. I will I want this art for my Slavic brother exactly so and so uh i don't feel this way but the way this is done you should note it's It's a hundred percent agreement veto power and we both have veto power so if Adam is like all Giddy about some piece of shit. I was just veto it now be the end of it, so he's vetoed all AI art So don't even try it I have I have and of course everyone's gonna try and get it by us now do whatever you want But you are hurting your brothers and sisters And you're asking to be banned

1:29:39 Oh yeah, exactly. I don't know where from but we'll ban you for something okay? We'll take care of you. We're gonna ban you. So he looked over the other pieces and there was a There wasn't that, I mean there was all kinds of stuff. It was kind of okay and it was usable. There's a lot of usable pieces where I have to say immediately before the tag you liked No Agenda sub stack heroes which was the best piece. Yeah it did! It was the prettiest piece without a doubt. Capitalist agendas piece, the sub-stack heroes right? We don't want to go on too much about this because people can see this necessarily but

1:30:16 gorgeous piece, but I was of the impression that by putting sub-stack heroes on there and not with no explanation it indicated that we the two of us were sub stack heroes and We weren't. And the reference was to Tybee and Barry Weiss So that got killed for that reason. The logic of it. Yes, I'd like to say two things about this one Of course I completely agree with you But people can follow along if they have a modern podcast app, newpodcastapps.com when we're talking you look at the app when we're talking about it the art changes or you can just bring up noagendaartgenerator.com Part two is I have to say something about the sub stack heroes

1:31:04 Because I wanted to investigate what is going on with this Barry Weiss, with Taibbi, with the freepress.com and so I signed up to Substack as a creator, as a substacker! I haven't published anything nor will I... Oh write some essays But right away no, I'm not a... No Right away i got some uh some I got a marketing message from Substack an email It said, what can media empires look like on Substack? Exploring a new model for media organizations. So I open up the email... What does it say? When Barry Weiss launched Common Sense on Substack she set out to create a media institution that is much bigger than herself! So as I predicted... Wow As I predicted this is all and Glenn Greenwald's behind it! It'll come out

1:31:58 I'll bet you, didn't you get this email from Substack? I joined Substack years ago. Maybe they just sent it out about... This went to all creators No, no, I get nothing Anyway, so I get nothing It's in the show notes. It's well worth taking a look at Alright Yeah, I think that's dynamite So back to this piece was good but then the piece next to it You actually liked—I didn't care for it but you liked it a lot Well, I did The journo list I just thought it was too simplistic. Yeah, and I didn't fight you on that. No well it wasn't gonna happen and we both came to the agreement about the tag because the tag was so beautiful in terms of its professionalism It was so pretty that we reluctantly picked it

1:32:45 No offense to Tantaniel, but it was not the one that... I would say that Substack Heroes was probably the piece that would have happened if it wasn't a confusing piece. But Tantaniel snuck in again! She's sneaky! She gets a lot of pieces and that's how art works. She's sneaky. But I'm very serious, I am very troubled by all things and it is AI not artificial intelligence what you're reading is open AI chat GPT It's basically Alexa that speaks better English

1:33:28 It's stupid and I'm sick and tired of people, oh look what? Look! I made a poem with AI. Oh look! I made a song with AI. Oh I wrote you a letter with AI. I did it reported in AI. Why don't you go away Get a timecode, please. Yeah I'm so sick of this jacked upness over AI Especially when it comes to art any kind of art writing musical performance recording This art no people keep people we got okay done We get the point now let's thank our executive and associate executive producers for episode 15 112 and we kick it off with Stuart Walton

If for example PayPal when you send a thousand bucks about 25 bucks goes to PayPal or even if you send in five bucks they get like 50 cents. Hmm...If you send a check-in that's really a good way Because you can control the message, the best. You write a note right there and scratch out your name There's a 15 cent check cashing charge for every check that sent in

1:37:57 after we have to a couple hundred checks. And so, which is long you pass that at the beginning of the year. So that's 15 cents this is no charge. That's good.

This can't be done by any commercial mechanism." You know they now have a new term? It's safety and suitability!

1:43:39 So it used to be brand safe, you know the content has to be brand safe. Now it's safety and suitability not just if it is safe but suitable. What do you think advertising wise will be suitable? I like by the way from the other side of the fence...I like it! Safety and suitable. You know there is one advertiser that is safe and suitable for The No Agenda Show And who might that be? Fleshlight. That's the only one, I mean...

Thank y'all for your time talent and treasure for producing episode 1512 Our formula is this We go out we hit people in the mouth

1:45:42 Now I'm gonna remind myself about the Ivor Macdon clip. This is Dr. Chris Schumacher, he is a Candanavian He's member of the College of Family Physicians of Candanavia So he's not a slouch you know I don't know if he's a super-duper guy and I'm don't know much about him But I liked his message a lot and here it is important thing to realize North American science spent 15 years figuring out what to do with the next COVID. It was back 2002, 2003 the original SARS-CoV1 occurred and so all sorts of experiments went on to determine what would be a useful response or something similar to occur and the research was done it was research was all done by 2015 2016

1:46:39 And DARPA, D-A-R-P-A the American Research Arm of the U.S. military it specifically knew and specifically recommended and passed the information on to the CDC that Ivermectin in particular was the absolute number one product to be used in the event of a coronavirus pandemic It was fully known that Ivermectin and certainly hydroxychloroquine as well were highly antiviral immune modulatory and those two things were the key to Modulate the immune response plus to be antiviral as well. Those elements were both totally proven in vitro and In vivo with animals so that it was known And of course we knew it was completely safe for humans because these medications have been used for 35 to 40 years in Humans, and so that's what was sitting there ready to be used at the next pandemic

1:47:37 I gotta say, I believe him totally. This sounds so... Clip of the day! Oh goodness it's been so long since i've gotten clip of the day I don't even know where to where the button is anymore thank you so much here it is. That is a tremendous clip isn't that Diney? Isn't that Diney? Wow there you go you get clip of the day then you blow it up by saying Diney jeez To corroborate, here's your future president Ronald DeSantos. Governor Ron DeSantis called out big pharma the focus COVID-19 vaccines he wants the Florida Supreme Court to investigate any and all wrongdoings. 10 Tampa Bay's Malik Rankin joins us now with what's next Malik

1:48:26 Governor Ron DeSantis is petitioning the Supreme Court to form a grand jury. This announcement followed around table discussion with the Surgeon General. DeSantis is also creating a public health integrity committee led by the Surgeon General and a press release from the governor, The committee will assess federal public health recommendations and tailor those guidelines to Florida so other governors and I have talked about the need to have a panel of experts who can counteract nonsense when it's coming out of these institutions that are not going to just go along with the flow and follow precooked narratives, but will actually do evidence-based analysis.

1:49:06 DeSantis says pharmaceutical companies refuse to release patient level data for independent researchers. DeSantis also says the adverse effects of the COVID-19 vaccine has not been appropriately shared with patients and he believes it's created a lack of public trust Yeah, now of course you know Roger Stone everybody is out there saying oh man! He is just doing that to mess with Trump Well Stone stayed on Trump's side which is interesting because everybody else has turned on him. I was watching a guy who was a CNBC guy that was on Trump's White House, Larry Kudlow he was on with Kellyanne Conway and he was just slamming Trump He's turned but just sticking with the COVID for a moment

1:49:56 Here's British Parliament MP Andrew Bridgen and he corroborates the same thing happened in the UK. The British Heart Foundation covered up research. Madam Deputy Speaker, it has also been brought to my attention by Whistleblower from a very reliable source that one of these institutions is covering clear data that reveals the mRNA vaccine increases inflammation of heart arteries They are covering this up in fear that they may lose funding from the pharmaceutical industry. The leader of that cardiology research department has a prominent leadership role with the British Heart Foundation and I'm very disappointed to say that he has sent out non-disclosure agreements to his research team, to ensure that this important data never sees the light of day This Madam Speaker is an absolute disgrace

1:50:52 And that was just part of a 21 minute rant. It's really... I've got a couple of COVID clips here that aren't specifically in the direction you're headed, but there's some weird stuff cropping up here and there. Play the COVID weirdness with vaccines in China. China says it will allow a foreign vaccine to be used in China but there is a catch Beijing said Friday it would let German nationals living in China receive German vaccine BioNTech. This in exchange for Germany granting an import permit to a Chinese vaccine, though that jab would only be used on Chinese nationals living in Germany

1:51:37 This I believe is part of that the subtext that we know about these the idea of creating these These vectors, these disease vectors that target genetics. You know they're freaked out about this you know I'm seeing more and more stories like this well just let me just grab this for a second something about Indians Where was this? Can't find yeah sudden deaths explode in Germany I thought there was a story somewhere about that Indians were dying at some crazy rate unexpected which they thought or from From either kovat or vaccines. It's very difficult to figure out which it is now because we don't get do you look at the details? Of course, of course, we don't let's go with here's another clip. This is interesting this the This is our future Chinese Kovac tracking tools

1:52:41 After major protests in China, the regime appears to be loosening some of its harsh COVID-19 measures including the use of one COVID tracking app. However a new COVID outbreak is spreading in the country Here's NTD's Tiffany Meyer with this story A major contact tracing app in China is going offline It marks a big step and loosening COVID 19 restrictions but it's far from the only health tracking method used during the pandemic The app is called Mobile Itinerary Cart. It launched in February 2020, almost immediately after the pandemic broke out in Wuhan China. Operating via smartphones the app can trace back where a phone owner has been in the last 7 to 14 days when an app user enters an area designated by authorities as posing high risk of infection. The app would change the user's status color from green to yellow or red

1:53:36 Both of those colors limit the phone owners access to public spaces and transportation. Other reports say Chinese authorities manipulated the apps manually, changing the statuses of human rights activists to red... ...to block them from leaving their homes This app has more than 1 billion users almost as many as China's population Concerns have also focused on data safety and privacy as huge amounts of data have been collected in recent years. Chinese authorities said they would delete the data after the app goes offline Despite the shutdown, another major tracking app is still being used. The country's health code scanning system this app also functions on smartphones it uses the same three color status system but instead users self-declare where they've been man they better hurry up because Elon's gonna take that business

1:54:30 He's gonna have that business, don't worry. During the Bush administration, it's been a plague and I think we're never going to get rid of it. Here is the article rise in heart attacks amongst healthy young Indians what driving it? As many as 51% of people have one or more individuals in their close network who have experienced this from India today will experience heart or brain stroke blood clots neurological complications cancer acceleration and other sudden medical conditions in the last two years

1:55:07 What could be driving this? I have no idea! Next we have... I read this, sudden deaths explode in Germany. Doctors are warning heart attacks spike this time of year it happens every year funny i've been doing the show for 15 I don't remember a single report but I guess is true and then we have the pots then we have to wait We do have the pots, yes. The pots this is what it's all about. A new study finds a link between COVID infection and a debilitating heart condition so the findings were actually published today in the journal nature cardiovascular research and it corresponds with earlier reports that COVID may actually trigger a disorder in the nervous system NBC News medical reporter Berkeley Lovelace joins us now. Berkeley great to have you with us first off one of

1:56:00 exactly is this heart condition and how do people know if they have it? Yeah so this was basically one of the early discoveries of people with long COVID. So POTS is a condition of the nervous system where people can have several symptoms such as rapid heart rate, lightheadedness, chest pain fatigue and people can also sometimes confuse it with other things such as anxiety or depression. And so because it's so confusing about the symptoms it can also take years for people to get a diagnosis." Wow wow! So be aware of that heart condition but here was what I found really interesting about the study... It also found a connection between mRNA vaccines for COVID

1:56:39 and potential heart condition. So this is the second condition we're talking about those Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, how concerned should we be about this? Oh no! What are we gonna do?! I think you should debunk it. Right, so they did find a link between the vaccines and this condition but it was to a much smaller degree than what we see with COVID infection So the researchers said the odds of getting POTS is about five times greater with the COVID infection than with vaccination Five times greater? With COVID than with the vaccination Correct That's really the takeaway right that if you are to get sick from COVID You would be more likely to get this heart condition then if you get the vaccine which could prevent you from serious illness

1:57:19 Correct. There you go! And so yeah, experts say the best way to protect yourself is to get vaccinated including developing pots as well Don't get pots...get boosted! Okay there's a question- unanswered question that journalists should have asked Yeah? You know what it is I would I know what it is, which is okay. Now when we're discussing this does this include people who had COVID but also had the shot but got COVID after they got the shots? Maybe shots and boosted did you track people that had one shot and then this disease if they had COVID or if they had like all their shots and boosted twice and then they got COVID

1:58:00 Was that included, were those people included in the study or was just people or was it just People? Just people that never had a vaccine ever and got COVID. No they did track this and they saw that people who had COVID and got boosted developed winter vagina there was nothing with POTS. POTS stands for postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome And it can also be confused with anxiety. Come on! What's that got to do with pustular? I don't know, i'm just telling you this... You heard the man. The whole thing. There was a- I've had of today the last newsletter which had uh was mostly memes there's a collection of memes. I had one in there says

1:58:53 Scientists now say that getting the flu shot will prevent heart attacks. Yeah, isn't that beautiful? And even... But you know this heart attack thing which is now we know It's very normal for people to, for heart attacks to spike this time of year. We do have a lot of Indians you know now it's not really our problem because we know in this case were in Melbourne but because it's so normal and this happens all the time we've decided to up our game down under." The life-saving machine is now within walking distance every resident in reservoir. Every home is now within 400 meters of a defibrillator and over 3,000 people have been trained in CPR 27 defibrillators have been rolled out at homes around the suburb transforming the fifth deadliest area for cardiac arrests

1:59:45 into the safest. sudden cardiac arrests occur in Victoria each year. 80% happen in the home, CPR within the first six minutes is crucial and coupled with a defibrillator it increases survival rates to over 50%. Just 11 months into the Australian first trial, it's already saved a man's life. St John's are in the process of selecting the next area to benefit from the program but they're calling on The Andrews Government to pitch in and provide funding to roll it out around the state Man this is going to be great in Australia You got defibrillators everywhere you gotta show your ID to get on Twitter

2:00:45 Well done, people. Well done! So my last COVID clip is actually more about flu and I just thought this was interesting now this is a long...this the Tamiflu story This was actually a long report that went on two or three or four five minutes talking about shortages of Tamiflu. Tamiflu's under attack by the way as it works because it works It's no good, but that's not what the report is about. Sorry. This is what the report's about it's about this shortage that starting to show up because there's all kinds of like and I went to the pharmacy and looked in there was there was a shortage of children's Tylenol for sure this hardly any around and it is just bullcrap story but

2:01:27 There's an interesting little tidbit to this story in terms of reporting and I just thought it was, it stood out like a sore thumb at least to me. And you can play it and I'll tell you what it is afterwards." At West Marin Pharmacy in Point Reyes Station pharmacist Zsuzsanna Byron has almost run out of children's liquid Tylenol. She's also having trouble restocking her supply of Tamiflu the leaning antiviral prescription medication to fight the flu, a problem pharmacies across the country are experiencing in the midst of a worsening flu season. Maybe two three weeks ago it just boomed just kind of exploded her supply of Tamiflue ran out two weeks ago

2:02:11 We've run out of it and we can't even replace it by purchasing more from the wholesalers because they're also out. Tamiflu isn't the only antiviral medication that can fight the flu, and Marin County's deputy health officer said pharmacies may have an easier time right now getting alternative medications to fight the flu. Reporting in Greenbrae Emma Goss KTVU Fox 2 News. Okay what's Stuart Otis? What stands does anything do you stand on like a sore thumb What's the alternatives brand name? You're right. I was gonna say, I was very curious what that was they didn't give you the alternatives Well there isn't it's not even plural The alternative is to Tamiflu is Ralenza Oh That's right. I should have known that and we're lensa is a pro is probably better It's also more expensive but it's probably better because it's something just you breathe it in and instead of taking a pill And its

2:03:10 as good or better and some people in the early days of bird flu fear, it's the one thing you can use against bird flu. Tamiflu doesn't seem to be effective but Ralenza is. So Ralenza is the product you want but they go out of their way not to mention it and I've noted... And Ralenza has been commonly cited, you know, it's been marginalized since the get-go. They never mentioned a brand name. It's a Glaxo? Smith-Kline product. GlaxoSmithKline and the other one's Roche yes yes yes hmm so I just to me it was like why don't you mention Rolenza they and you'll never hear the word, i don't think I've ever heard on broadcast any of these networks. I only heard from you on this podcast. You mentioned Rolenza and Tamiflu and you've been a big believer in it and you're still with us So this is good. Yeah because it works great now One of our producers

2:04:06 who is an absolute insider in the vaccination world, has come to me in complete anonymity and there is now some evidence that there are two lipids. These are the nano-lipids this is the stuff that the Pfizer vaccine uses to transport their little spikies I'm being very simplistic Two of these lipids were not approved for human use or have not been approved for human use yet. Maybe that's a better way of putting it because these lipids are not fully soluble in the human body so they begin to accumulate inside the liver and they can cause inflammation and they respond to foreign nanoparticles, and this is a brewing scandal

2:05:00 I don't know if it'll ever come out, but to have two non-human approved lipids used in the vaccine is quite egregious. Maybe that's what accounting for the clots? Yeah! Who knows what? Now last clip from me on this topic We are going into the season and by the way this flu thing, friends of ours I might note that the ones that the friends who have this have been jabbed and or boosted. They're very sick they're like it's like a week sick in bed moaning groaning and there is flu so... Did they get a flu shot? I shall ask I shall follow up I didn't ask. Usually if people are old

2:05:51 Jacked up with Kovach us usually get a little shot as well. Yeah, I'll ask I'll check so this is UNICEF United Nations This is the the outfit that likes to likes to protect the children sketchy at best they've done it They have done a propaganda video for children This is really meant to tug at your heartstrings and get your child to talk to you about the future of the COVID vaccine. And really how bad you adults screwed it all up, you've actually killed us so many people unnecessarily. So let's not do that again this year people! In 2020 scientists developed life-saving COVID 19 vaccines in record breaking time

2:06:36 It is miraculous. It saved the lives of my parents and grandparents in just a few months nearly everybody in my country got the vaccine I lost my mother right at start to the pandemic So many doctors and nurses got sick. School closed down, but then came the vaccine. You said life would return to normal. You restored our hope! And you promised you wouldn't stop there. You said you'd help other countries... ...You promised to share vaccines with the whole world To make sure it ended everywhere for everyone

2:07:15 But, it took too long. We brought up supplies and held them back just in case You let people in other countries suffer Doctors and nurses kept getting sick Teachers died You let the virus carry on going round and round and round And we changed into even more dangerous variants Then it all came back again...and again And schools closed. And life kept getting turned upside down for all of us, things could have worked out so differently. You knew that no one is safe until everyone's safe

2:08:03 I think that's the end of it. All right, let's end this bunch of statistics. They should have substituted the word dead for safe. Exactly! It really is unreal. Not everyone is safe until... not anyone is safe or dead until everyone is DEAD. The Biden administration will be making the at-home COVID tests available for free again this winter. Woohoo! I've got another batch of them so i've gotten, I've gotten so many COVID tests but you don't take them? You're just hoarding them right? You're collecting no I'm passing them out to the kids Don't give these your kids they come from the government who knows what they're done with them yeah it's already too late

2:08:58 This last batch, so I got the original four. I think a pack of four from over the mail or remember they could just send it to the mail and boom you get some. So I got those and then I went to get a prescription filled early on this is you want some free COVID tests? They said they're free. Yeah! So they gave me like 4 And so then I go in there again a few weeks ago to refill something and there's a sign saying make sure to ask for your free COVID tests. And if this is a sign that says free anything, JCD is right at the front of line? You got that right!

2:09:35 I say, what's it with this? He says oh yeah let me look you up and he looks at my insurance. It says oh yeah your deligible so i'll pack some up and get them pick them up this week. It's eight! A box of tests! When he looked you up didn't he recommend that you get a COVID shot and the flu shot? No What kind of system is that where's the cross cell? There's just a blender on there somebody's making mistake but the point I got just a huge box of these things. It's like, who is paying for this? You are! Well then i'm getting them Yeah, I know We have been looking at a lot of different accidents in traffic Not just traffic on roads but traffic in the air This had to be addressed

2:10:29 And the American Journal of Medicine has addressed it in a study here, which they did. They used 11 million 270 thousand 763 individuals and they've concluded COVID vaccine hesitancy is a reflection of psychology that probably contributes to traffic safety They tested whether COVID vaccination was associated with the risks of a traffic crash and what came back was no, no. It's only those who are hesitant who have crashes." Yeah nobody else crashes I mean this is... And it's you read through this like I don't understand how they can even do this? It's lunacy These data suggest that COVID vaccine hesitancy is associated with significant increased risks of a traffic crash

2:11:23 You I'm speechless. Yeah, this was also in the newsletter To people don't subscribe they should you know why they don't You can subscribe from every show notes page as a link right there. I don't know it's just beyond me You know are you asking for money too much? Okay We talked about the catastrophic contagion supposed to hit in 2025 when they did the tabletop exercise floor and the one guy that stuck out is a sore thrum was Tom Daschle And one of our producers pointed out, Dashiell was also the guy that received the anthrax that was mailed after 9-11. I just thought that was an interesting little... I don't know what the connection is? He's a stooge! That's implied connection it doesn't mean anything. It's what it is. Yeah he is a stooge anyway but interesting

2:12:19 All right, well I have a couple of... Before you go away. I have some COVID stuff to back up your thesis of the platform MRNA as a platform Yeah You want to just reiterate that? They've gotta ditch this platform What do you mean they have to ditch it? They're expanding it! They're expanding the platform! This is a huge blunder they are trying to kill us this is not gonna work But go ahead. Well, tonight there's promising news for skin cancer patients about a possible melanoma vaccine made by Moderna and Merck it uses mRNA technology which was used to make those COVID vaccines. Moderna says a small study showed the cancer shot an immunotherapy drug combination significantly lowered patients risk of relapse or death

2:13:09 A larger study is planned for next year. Yeah, those mRNA vaccines! Oh yeah, and there's more! A British teenager is now cancer-free thanks to a new treatment being described as revolutionary. 13 year old Alyssa had exhausted all traditional options to battle her leukemia including a bone marrow transplant that's when she enrolled in a clinic trial using a new gene editing technology called base editing when doctors use healthy altered cells to kill cancerous T cells Alyssa's cancer was gone in six months. Scientists hope to use the same technique for other diseases. Such a huge breakthrough! Such a huge breakthrough, it's almost like fusion ignition... such a huge breakthrough You know if this was actually a huge breakthrough it would be bigger news than it is This is another experiment they're gonna conduct on the American public or the world public I fear you are correct

2:14:07 Yeah, this may be the second. I mean maybe there's going to be two or three of these tests. They're thinking about doing the mRNA for the flu. Oh sure! And they're gonna roll that out and this cancer thing which is really a stretch... It's gonna be well you know we'll be here watching. Mask up! It's so pathetic We're going through the same cycle everyone's forgotten everything it will be the same old same old I do have two Ukraine clips. You do? Or if you want to wait, I have a what's wrong with podcasting clips. Oh yeah let's do it... well yeah let's do that and then Ukraine whatever! So you got me triggered on this pre-press thing. Oh good. So i go look over and I'm thinking who are these writers and there is one writer Catherine Kat

2:15:09 And she has a podcast. Mm-hmm. And I'm, well let's see what kind of person this is and this is... This podcast is called Feminine Chaos Oh wow! Can we get the domain name? It's got a picture of a goat with like a devilish goat with a unicorn spike sticking out its head and I just want to play two clips from this. This is the kind of, it's just another one of those podcasts...I've described these to you before uh i think a original description was giggling dipshits as a category It's not meant to be pejorative, it's just a category.

2:15:53 It's a category of podcasting, which is to me something wrong because this is what's wrong with these podcasts. I'm not, what's wrong with these podcasts? Which is a podcast which is quite good by the way you can go check it out. This is What's Wrong With Podcasting and that's these categories let's listen to clip one here this is the way the podcast begins. Hello this is Kat. This is Phoebe welcome to Feminine Chaos Why are you already laughing? Was there not a dog growling. Oh, I think you heard the cat. The cat is purring or a cat purring sorry yeah just I was excited about it early arrival of an animal on the scene not counting the one i'm currently petting lying here next to me sweetly oh well I think Rasputin my cat is purring because he's very excited he's finally

2:16:48 gotten comfortable enough in his identity and in our relationship to form a sexual attraction to me because he is demisexual and also a goddamn pervert because we're not the same species. How's that for an opening? That's an opening, alright! Please tell me this has no advertisements and has not been bought by Spotify So far. Because this has smash hit written all over it for those guys now This cat person is one of their journalists or at the free press and she's a specialist in some things like Demi sexuality She wrote an essay what is demi sexuality? You look it up you look it up I don't have time to go into it But I do have time to play another clip from another one of their podcasts And where they again, just talking about the cat

2:17:48 to an extreme and it's just a short 21 seconds of what more of the same, this sort of podcast that I really don't like. I was thinking like how can we segue into this? You know speaking of people with yeah no same especially this cat who is once again rumbling in the microphone their tongues are like sandpaper i don't even want to engage with that you know i feel like i'm doing him a favor by letting him lick me This is exactly... this is, okay what's wrong with these podcasts? This is how women of this age speak. I have some of them in my life. I've heard them they talk this way and it's very hilarious and if we were talking like that like oh yeah here I light the guy light the dog blow me ha ha ha people would think are crazy am I wrong

2:18:50 It's beyond me, but I'm just pointing out the only reason I even found this podcast even though I was looking for an ISO and I couldn't even come up with one is that maybe the licking part. But it was because this is one of the journalists on this free press operation. I am going to maybe look at some of the other ones to see if they all got... Everyone has a podcast! So apologies to the what's wrong with the podcast guys. This is what's wrong with podcasting, so yes okay all right it's only short hits so there you go well these were two dynamite hits thank you very much appreciate now let's go Ukraine! Let's show Ukraine this latest thing is he's this unbelievable these Patriot missile story let's play this

2:19:39 Oh yeah, this is nuts. The US may be sending a battery of Patriot missiles to Ukraine It comes after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky recently put pressure on Western leaders to provide more advanced weapons to counter Russian air attacks We will look at the full spectrum of security assistance and defensive capabilities that are available within our common inventories when we consider Ukraine's needs. We continue to consult and advise our Ukrainian partners on how best to integrate their air defense systems According to officials who spoke on condition of anonymity, the announcement will likely follow later this week. The plan has not yet been publicly announced because the decision has not been finalized If approved the Patriot would be the most advanced surface-to-air missile system yet provided to Ukraine by the West I have two short reports on this Can i just roll these out since uh... Please! Please! I think it's unconscionable that we're sending this sort of weaponry over there

2:20:39 It's just prolonging the war. I think the idea is to get it, make it bigger. No... yeah, I mean to me the idea is we need to have some kind of new shield type weapons and we need to develop them. Iron dome! Yes, and we need some money for that And we just want new gear so what we need to of course ship all the all the crap off to Ukraine? And that's what's happening this could be a big development in the war in Ukraine CBS News has learned The Pentagon is preparing a plan to send Patriot air defense missiles to Ukraine Ukrainians have been pleading for more help to defend themselves

2:21:19 against Russian rockets. White House approval could come as soon as this week. Local officials say there were Iranian drones used by Russia but no immediate word on casualties. Meanwhile, sources say President Biden is poised to approve a plan sending long-range Patriot missile systems to Ukraine to fend off Russian strikes they would be the most sophisticated weapons the Pentagon has provided for the war No, no... The most yeah provided the most sophisticated defense weapons will now created with money

2:21:58 And Europe just spent 18 billion. Did we have another couple of billions? Check this out, French social media has erupted as store clerk on Avenue Montagne reports Zelinsky's wife who was in Paris to get her hair done and hang out with Macron spent 40 thousand euros worth of Christmas shopping in Paris Wow. The French are outraged! I'll bet they are, i'm outraged! 40 000 this is oh man that's a hell of a Christmas yeah right

2:22:40 When's the last time you spent 40,000 Christmas shopping in Paris? It's been a while. So here is the second clip which makes me think they're trying to expand this war a little bit... Is the Belarus involvement potentially Belarus remains non-committal about getting involved in the war in neighboring Ukraine, but the country appears to be conducting joint military training with Russia. Moscow says the exercise is carried out quote day and night Russia's defense ministry published the latest video. The footage shows tanks navigating through a woodland in Belarus. The soldiers set up temporary bridges and conduct explosive drills One day before the video came out, Belarus announced an emergency military inspection

2:23:28 It involved setting up readiness in the south of the country. Belarus has said it won't join Russia's attack in Ukraine, but on February 24th the president allowed Russian troops to push into Ukraine from Belarusian territory and in October he ordered domestic forces to deploy with Russia near the Ukrainian border. Strategy analysts say there is a possibility that Belarus could intervene from the north but that would amount to a distraction for Ukraine Yeah, another report got confused. I don't know what he's talking about. You're saying it either What what's the strategic? And what's the distraction well as a distraction that are attacking you from Belarus? I mean what how's it would distraction from what I guess the Don Bosch now I have to look at the map for a second Let me just see where Belarus is in relation to all this stuff

2:24:19 There's got to be, we've got to overlay a pipeline or something on top of this. What's going on? It's always the same. So Belarus... Let me see… Oh you know that everyone except Google now is working on an open mapping system they just announced it's like the Open Linux Foundation which of course is owned by Microsoft duh! They're now working with who are they working with Meta, Microsoft and Amazon Web Services TomTom are launching Overture Maps Foundation to develop interoperable open map data.

2:24:59 So they're trying to do something against Google. Anyway, so now I'm looking at Belarus. Good luck! Google's been driving those little devices around...I see them all the time in the Bay Area. Waymo they say that's what the logo is this way Waymo. They're everywhere and the newer ones are really cool-looking they don't have all these things sticking out every which way it looks like a nightmare It's like they've come up with a product, an actual product that sticks on the roof of these things. Like the big cylinder that spins around? Yeah you don't see any of that it's all enclosed and encapsulated They really...they don't look the same as they used to if you see They don't have the cornball cylinder spinning around and cameras sticking out left and right it's like a big dome Well TomTom has pretty good maps

2:25:54 Yeah, TomTom. Well they're the ones that compete with Garmin so... They got some good stuff. Something going on there. Hmm I can't find anything obvious about Belarus. I'm sure we'll have some producers out there who can help us. Yeah we need Belarussians to help us out. We need some Belarus info Just a quickie here That's all i got for Ukraine Uh I thought it was interesting to hear what I heard on Deutsche Welle uh the Nobel Prize Peace Prize gaffe I have not heard this. What? What is it under Nobel, Nobel Peace Prize? Do you mean the Noble? The Nobles? The winners of the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize have collected their awards at the ceremony in the Swedish capital Stockholm. Rights activists from Ukraine Russia and Belarus won this year in a strong rebuke of Russia for its invasion of Ukraine repression of civil liberties at home and support for the authoritarian Belarusian government

2:26:52 What? Well we knew it was gonna go this is just a political award, it's a joke. Yeah yeah But I would think of all the news operations in the world they would know and not make the gaffe of saying that the Nobel Peace Prize was given out in Stockholm Sweden Because its not It's given out in Oslo Norway That's right And Deutsche Welle messed that up Deutsche Welle, big shot news organization with hot shots and copy editors and writers and everyone screwed it up instead of was a stock. That's where the Nobel Prize is given out not the Nobel Peace Prize What idiots! Well that's what I was thinking! I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda Imagine all the people who could do that Oh yeah that'd be fab

2:27:47 That's what we do best. We find the idiots and then we point them out, because we never make mistakes on this show! We expose them but hey... we mea culpa whenever we have to. We do mea culpa a lot and there is only you know.. The thing that gets me they have teams of people Teams Teams. Fact-checking, we have the troll room fact checking us and you know it's the best we can do although they're probably better than your teams of people. They are better and of course they are much better than teams of people kidding me? Well we're starting off in Missouri City Texas and there's a guy there named James Crane who gave us 150 bucks and said Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Oh thank you very much yeah

2:28:36 Sir Kevin McLaughlin, Locust North Carolina. I'm sorry and I skipped a couple. I skipped Stephen G Bottoms in Reno 100 bucks and Lucas Williams in Roswell, Roswell New Mexico hundred bucks sir Kevin. I want some souvenirs from there. There's got to be like these cool souvenirs from Roswell. And I think Lucas can help us we have a couple of people who live in Roswell. I believe yeah we do now Sir Kevin McLaughlin in Locust, North Carolina. Hooray for him! He's continuing the pace... 8008. Oops. Devon Rotter in Mansville, Washington. 75 bucks.

Truly grateful for the Tyler service you provide us with the best podcasting universe. I found this podcast when Adam went on The Kaiser Report five years ago. I have been hooked ever since only wish I could have caught up earlier. He'd like to be dubbed Sir Spoonmaker Christmas Night and he wants cold cans of Brooklyn Lager and sour diesel reefers at the round table. You're speaking my language, my friend, speaking my language... Then we have Fabio Alves who says he was getting ready to yell at PayPal for canceling his subscription and no agenda just to find out that I finished my night layaway plan? For that i would like to claim MY seat at the round table! His night name will be Sir Barambolo. Oh my goodness, I got some requests here that I hadn't seen He wants.. At the Round Table... Where did it go...?

2:37:36 This is, uh... Guarana, capirinha de picanha? What the heck is this drink? Guaraná. That is the soda of Brazil. It's a berry! It's a high caffeine berry, caffeinated berry I usually keep a jar or bottle of guaraná soup. Wait wait... The berry itself is caffeinated? Yeah it's a little sweet little berry. Well not sweet you have to put a lot of sugar in but high octane berry that's from the Amazon. They make the syrup out of it called guaranar and they make a soda called Antarctica, and it's drunk all over Brazil and when you first have it you go this is delicious! It tastes like apple juice! And then you get buzzed, gets wired on... The Brazilians are either drinking coffee or they're drinking this stuff there just on caffeine to the max. The more you know in the morning

2:38:32 Final note from Sir Benjamin, we just made him a baronet. His note is he donated 110 on... my goodness!

The pins in my mouth are hurting today So uh I have to do what you did last time? I'm forfeiting. You have no isos?!

2:45:12 No. Oh wow! I have three, i'm not particularly crazy about any one of them but I think... well you choose ready here's number one now that blew my mind it's a little long but I kind of like the sound uh this one Now I do believe I knew he was gonna laugh yeah but I'm not picking it and the final one Why is this happening? All right, the first one is really it's clear. It's loud. It's not really too long and that's the one I'm picking you gave me the opportunity to pick on it. I give it to you all right Thank You appreciate that Hey little update on Germany. I think we should get an update on these Reichsberger plot remember The Prince

2:46:07 Yes, and I curiously have a follow-up to that. Whatever you play it my clip will be following it which is scammers everywhere in Germany. Germany's still in shock after last week nationwide raids targeting far right suspects It now appears their network may have been wider than first thought Members of the German Parliament's Legal Affairs Committee revealed that investigators found more than 100 letters of so called declarations of confidentiality from people who supported the group's cause. The alleged plotters also planned to form more than 280 Homeland Security Units, intended to become a new army. They were supposed to make arrests and also carry out executions – this shows how concrete the threat posed by this group really was."

2:46:55 Now, authorities are discussing potential political consequences. One hot topic is whether to tighten Germany's gun laws – already among the strictest in Europe. Intelligence agencies say the plotters had gathered a substantial number of weapons. But before making wide-ranging political changes lawmakers want more information On the question of gun laws, I would like to understand exactly what kind of weapons are involved and how they attempted to procure weapons. Before we call for a tightening, we have to see if there is any problem at all in the legal framework as it is today."

2:47:33 Public officials deemed anti-democratic could potentially be dismissed more quickly. This comes after revelations that a former MP for the far right AFD party was allegedly part of the plot. If the former MP still had access to parliament, then there could now be stricter rules for entering official buildings So here's my takeaway from this report. One, war on guns can't have guns in Germany if you got a gun you're probably sovereign citizen movement the Reichs... what is it called again? Yeah yeah. Fourth Reich. Right fourth right and if you're undemocratic you gotta go. Yeah. Reichsburger movements. The reichsburgers. I still have only seen one guy

2:48:19 Yeah, one guy. Where are all these other guys? I haven't seen a display of guns...I haven't seen anything but one guy but apparently 26 30 100 arrests. Hundreds! They've all signed documents to prove it yeah they were gonna create a new legal system Well, my clip's got nothing to do with these guys. This is about German scammers in Germany A German tax lawyer has been jailed for his role in what could be one of the country's biggest post-war frauds The scheme known as Comex deprived the country of more than 1 billion dollars in tax revenue

2:48:55 Hanno Berger is the most high-profile professional convicted for the tax evasion scandal. According to prosecutors in the German city of Bonn, Berger allegedly helped investment bankers swap shares between 2007 and 2011. They managed to collect multiple tax reimbursements for taxes they only paid once Berger was arrested in Switzerland last year and extradited to Germany in February. The court found him guilty of aggravated tax evasion and sentenced him to eight years in prison. The former lawyer was also ordered to pay back nearly $130,000 dollars He also faces a second criminal trial in another city next year

2:49:35 Again, they're not bankers per se but investment bankers. What's going on with the bankers in Europe? They're all corrupt! Well I think that now that the money has dried up because there is just no more free money so now stuff is falling apart It's got it looks like to me. Yeah, I have just two linguistic short clips both 40 seconds by coincidence This is my new segment who writes these scripts What's wrong with these script writers here is our vice president Young leaders I say I am an optimist about what lies ahead for Africa and by extension for the world

2:50:20 Because of you, because of your energy, your ambition and your ability to transform seemingly intractable problems into opportunities. Simply put, your ability to see what can be unburdened by what has been. I thank you all She's with the unburdened again. They're bringing back her old punchline. She's a moron I have it, like...I have one clip from Africa with Biden but i want to be the last clip unless you have something else. No no here is my linguist my second linguistic clip okay um this is Janet Yellen now Now I make fun of people bankers who say finance

2:51:14 I'm in finance or someone will say finance, finance. Finance. And it's okay some of my friends talk about cinema Yes, I love the cinema. Then I can laugh at- You're saying cinema? The woman in Arizona? No! Cinema like the film. Celluloid cinema. But explain Janet Yellen to me What is 2023 gonna look like for the average consumer So I believe inflation will be lower I am very hopeful that the labor market will remain quite healthy so that people can feel good about their finances and their personal economic situation. It's been decades since the American consumer has had to deal with inflation like this,

2:52:06 Yes, and I hope that it will be short-lived. We learned... What is that? What is that?! Short-lived! I've heard that in academia Are you kidding me!? No It's short lived right? I'm not nuts. It's short lived Most..I would say short lived You'd say short lived but I have heard short-lived. Yeah, it's not a shocker to me to hear that So she does not go grocery shopping then you know I'm saying like this woman is completely isolated from human existence Ivory Tower yeah yes okay all right well nothing could be worse than Joe Biden though Here we go Joe And for all of you in this room for making this form of success particularly

2:52:56 And Prosper Africa, deal room. That sounds like something that you shouldn't be saying. You know... Prosper Africa deal room? I kept asking where's the deal room? I think i'm looking at it. Oh man! What is wrong with our president?! What isn't wrong with our president? Okay We encourage him to go off script more often. We certainly do! Coming up next on NoAgendaStream.com, if you're in TrollRoom.io hang out Planet Rage is coming up Oh Blue Eyes is the title of it Larry... that Larry show's Larry and Darren O'Neal both coming at you End-of-show mixes from Dee's Laughs Neil Jones our very own clip custodian Kitchen Beats

Coming to you from the heart of Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No 6, in the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry and from Northern Silicon Valley where were actually expecting a report from Darren O'Neill about why they won't take his $8 on Twitter. I am John C. Dvorak We will return on Sunday Join us here And remember us at Dvorak.org slash N-A Until Sunday, hooey hooey everybody as we say adios mofos and such.

2:54:43 Shit. Alright, there it is! This is- my teeth just fell out. All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth... Seriously, my front teeth just fell out. My two front teeth... That's not ridiculous! If you don't mind... You sound fine and this is distressing. YOU'RE telling me that I sound fine?! All he wants for Christmas is his two front teeth Well now ya dont when you make a point of trying to say it. You're trying to sound like Dylan. Go on, be Sean! So it literally just fell out now? Okay we'll be taking a break and then back in... No let's just go- Let's do it I'll go all the way through It will take me 15 minutes We are so close to the end lets keep going All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth

2:55:33 Karma. Go on, go on. Well, the reason it didn't kill you is because you've been boosted. Okay? If you'd not boosted, you could die. Calpain might be coming back Not really an attack Gotta clean up the diet I admit I started to slack Too much junk food I was becoming that dude Cutting out the sugar Never tried the book of my dude Working out till the work I wanted too Sick man guaranteed To change your mood What about Gargin saying That we pushed 40% People swear they know You back in the day

2:56:16 What could be finer than trading for a 6-9? A merchant of death, Victor Booth for a Brittany Griner Jason Willock you too funny my dude Or J Trading Marguerite for Nicole I'm fearless with Savage 2 Political pawns they're going on and on And then the public yawns And now one more game will be watched Then is what it spawns when it's on WNBA star for a terrorist Joe Blow head is gone and some people seeming pissed Could've done the deal with Russia right from the start But identity politics has the Biden administration and come lay Harris apart. Mr. Whelan will have to wait for now, yo is Bro more upset than him being left in jail? Wow! Diet over merit I don't want to hear it It's more of a lifestyle you grin and bear it

2:57:17 You're worried about yourself, but you can get infected and will get infected if you put yourself at risk. And even if you don't have any symptoms, you are propagating the outbreak because it is likely that you, even if you have no symptoms, may inadvertently and innocently then infect someone else I've said it many times and i'll close by saying it again. We have to be concerned about the mutants. I'm just going to put it out there. Every single American has to be vaccinated, we'll not stop working until we've completed this. You could say this is a...we're a victim of success People are very serious about the safety of vaccines and you gotta do the trials on these things have to be looked at in a very careful way

2:58:14 We don't know if they'll work to avoid deaths. We don't know if they'll work to avoid transmission. We don't know if these vaccines will work and you'd like it to be very safe in all the populations that you indicated for no side effects, then you'd like it to avoid the individual who gets the vaccine getting sick. I'm just going to put it out there. Every single American has to be vaccinated, and we'll not stop working until we've completed this. Kamikaze drones.

2:59:21 Now that blew my mind
