Coup Map

00:00 The batteries go dead. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. Thursday, August 10th, 2023. This is your award winning Kibo Nation media assassination episode 1580. This is no agenda. The beaches and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas blue country here in FEMA region number six in the morning. Everybody, I'm Adam Curry. Yeah. And from northern Silicon Valley, where we're all wondering, was Joe Biden resigning? I'm John C. Dvorak. Wow, did you get a new toy?

00:36 No, this is that same thing that was sharing whoever it is that sent me all these noise makers. Yeah, it sounds like a drum full now. Sounds like a proper drum is what it sounds like. It does, it does, but it's not. It's a skin over it looks like a drum, except it's not didn't have all the other elements, you know, that you can change the tight and do this and that is more like a tambourine without the cymbal thingies. Oh, all right. Well, I think we should start with the obvious, the top of the news everybody. We've got Hawaii burning! On Maui tonight, fire crews are fighting to contain a massive brush fire. It's along Honoapii-Lani Highway in Ma'alaya. The Maui Fire Department says 6,000 acres have already burned.

01:21 Young has the latest. Maui firefighters say this streak of flame might have started as a flare-up. I'm sorry that's 2016. This is the report I meant. A wildfire rages across Hawaii's Maui Island threatening homes in the western area of Lahaina. The deadly blaze has forced people from the emergency shelters which was set by by US as Hurricane Lane neared the island. Authorities fear that the wildfire might have incinerated homes even. I'm sorry, that's 2018. Oh goodness, let me get the current reports. Three wildfires killed several people and burned down hundreds of structures on the island of Maui.

02:02 Fueled by the winds of Hurricane Dora, which passed south of the island and was a normally safe distance of 800 kilometers away, the blazes left according to pilots, apocalyptic landscapes in the past. They have really upgraded the language on this frequently occurring thing. We were not prepared for what we saw. How could you not be not be prepared? It happened in 2016, 2018. What we saw, looked like an area that had been bombed and burned by in a war zone. The Coast Guard rescued over a dozen people who were forced into the ocean to escape the flames. Yeah, by the way, combined with dry grasslands.

02:43 added to the blazes ferocity and speed. So you have dry vegetation that is when there's a spark, it's easier for that vegetation to ignite and for the wildfire to spread. Climate change in many parts of the world is increasing increasing vegetation dryness. Hawaii opened several shelters to house the up to 4,000 displaced. And Maui's main airport was sheltering some 2,000 people seeking to take the island. You heard it there. You heard it. Climate change increasing vaginal dryness. I mean, they should totally have a disclaimer on all the medications. This happens every couple of years.

03:20 Maui's you could probably go back further. Oh easily. Thank you I was wondering where you're gonna do this story at all until I realize you're gonna do the what I consider it the lowest of the low tricks on this show This is something you I would never did you wait did you actually do this yourself? No No, I didn't know. I have known Maui clips. But you have to understand... I do have to say it's funny. Just the imagery they like to put in people's minds of people jumping off the island into the ocean. You have to understand it's working. Climate change is real. We go to C-SPAN Independent Line. Sergio in Schenectady, New York. Independent.

04:06 Yes, good morning Chief Spencer, taking my call. Two points that I wanted to make. I just don't understand the disconnect of reality of people saying that climate change is not occurring, climate change is not... I mean, a simple thing. I had to have my homeowner's insurance just renewed and my insurance bill went up 25% Oh no! Why? Why? Hurricanes, floods, etc. We're seeing the effects of climate change all over and there's just this denialism that I just don't understand. Okay, my bill went up so climate change is real! Wow, this is how the scam works? It's a beautiful scam. And then the best thing ever from the Biden administration for years

04:50 Four years, people laughed, people laughed, people laughed, and now they're just gonna do it. As the Biden administration signals its fight against global warming may actually involve blocking sunlight. The White House posting research claiming, quote, solar radiation modification would enable better informed decisions about the potential risk and benefits of SRM as a component of climate policy alongside the foundational elements of greenhouse gas emissions mitigation. Come on man, they're calling it SRM. Just call it what it is. You've been doing this for years and now we're just, oh we'll just call it SRM. Solar radiation modification. This cannot be a good idea. This has got to be the worst idea ever. And Bill Gates seems to be leading it. Well, there's already been a movie about it.

05:43 Which movie was that? Snowpiercer. Someone, now what was that? There was someone who said Snowpiercer was an obvious follow-up to some other movie. I gotta look that up. Now isn't Snowpiercer also a series? Yeah, that series is no good. It's no good. You gotta watch the OG movie. Anyway, all of this brings us to a fabulous piece of television production on PBS. PBS looked into climate change and its climate change is so severe. The fear that we have pumped into people's heads, the fear.

06:24 It's so bad that we need therapists to help us. Leslie Davenport is a climate psychology therapist. She teaches at the California Institute of Integral Studies and is author of Emotional Resiliency in the Era of Climate Change. Leslie, when does healthy concern about the planet, about climate change, become this sort of climate anxiety? Well, from the emerging field of climate psychology, one emerging field, mind you, it's all brand new and I'm leading the charge from the emerging field of climate psychology. One thing that's really important to understand.

07:01 is leave you distress, upset, sadness, grief, anger about climate change to be a really reasonable, even healthy reaction. Because it's built into a reasonable... A healthy? Yes, it's a very healthy reaction when you're being... So when you're bullshitted into getting depressed over a non-existent climate change narrative, that's healthy? Well, the reality is people believe this. They have been BSed into this. They have been bullied into it. They have the fear. Just look at the maps.

07:38 The map, you know, it's like the same temperatures 10 years ago, only now the map is red. We're burning up, we're burning alive. I had that picture in the news, they changed the colors. We're jumping into the ocean. Same temperatures or lower, but they baked the map red. We've got to jump into the ocean, it's so bad. To be a really reasonable, even healthy reaction. I can't understand even what reaction was here to get. be a really reasonable even healthy reaction. Healthy reaction, it's healthy John. It's healthy when you're being propagandized. Freak out! Because it's built into us as people that if we feel risks, threats,

08:19 amygdala that's experienced loss is going to be upset so it's really important to acknowledge that if you're feeling that on any level of intensity it really means you're paying attention you care you're empathetic to what's happening to our world but when does it become a problem when does it become something that people feel they should go talk to someone about Wow, well when you're overboard from the No Agenda show it's going to become a problem. You're going to start freaking out from all this stuff. That's where you need to go. Well, it can certainly grow into something that interferes with functioning in daily life, keeps you awake at night, gets in the way of enjoying life and becomes really the predominant concern. High levels of physiological distress, racing hearts, intrusive thoughts. It can take many, many forms. Don't worry, we got a pill for you. But here is the kicker of this piece.

09:19 There are three groups, three main groups who are suffering severely from climate... what was it actually? What'd she call it? Well, she's a climate psychology therapist. So people who... there are three groups who suffer the most from fear, irrational fear of climate change and therefore need to go speak to a therapist. No, no, no. Wrong. It's rational. And healthy. Three groups. Can you even guess the top group who suffers the most from climate anxiety? Transgenders.

10:03 Not even close. It's much better than that. You have a private practice in the Pacific Northwest and in California. Are you seeing more people coming to you talking about this? I sure do, and I sure have. I'd say there's been a big leap in the last five years. And there are three groups I see the most. One are people working in this field. The actual people who work in the field! My goodness, they're freaking themselves out about this. Okay, clip of the day right away. No wonder this stuff works so well.

10:45 What kind of advice do you give people that are freaked out and they go to see a psychologist? Oh, I'm freaked out about climate change. What do you tell them? You tell them it's healthy. Keep going. It's healthy. And there are three groups I see the most. One are people working in this field. Frontline workers, scientists who are studying this. Wait, wait. Frontline workers? What is that? I don't know, man. This is circular psychiatry is what this is. I love the frontline workers, the frontline. John, where are you? Frontline of the climate change. Frontline worker. I'm a frontline worker of climate change. Frontline worker scientists who are studying this. Oh, it's the scientists who are frontline workers. Oh, so a woman studying it is suddenly a frontline worker. I'm a frontline.

11:36 I like the way we redefine these terms that actually have meaning. Well, it brings it back to COVID, you know, so that's it's all it's she is in fact. It actually brings us back to 9-11. Oh, thank you. That's even better. Yes. Yes. It's all trauma-based programming and she is, she's probably MKUltra herself to do this. But that's how it works. You traumatize people and keep hammering that stuff in there. And now because we have Summer. Summer! We have frontline workers. I should mention that we do have clips in the archives if you, since you put this together you might have considered playing a couple of the little girls that are basically crying in the street because of climate change.

12:21 There was a couple of these that were in England. It was really a problem because he'd be just a girl or a girl in the street crying about climate change. It was just pathetic. I'm not sure that I can find it that easily crying. I'll look for it. We listen to the clip line workers, scientists who are studying this and recognizing what a dangerous trajectory we're on. Two are people who've been touched very directly about with big losses, lost their home in the fires in Santa Rosa a couple years ago, have had to decide if they want to still live in a fire-prone area. Here's a thought, no.

12:59 No, certainly not if you're going to have that kind of electricity being managed for you, the woods being managed for you. And there's a very high level of distress among children and youth. This is a time when they naturally glance into their future, deciding where they want to live, what they want to do, young adults, if they want to start a family. And they're quite upset about the prospects of what their future may entail. You're right, we go back to February of 2019. Hi, my name is Iris and I'm 11 and I love our government and I don't want everything to stop. And if we do want everything to stop, then we can write about it at the moment. And this isn't good.

13:53 Alright, so they're terrorizing your children with this nonsense and it's working. It's just working. They're terrorizing children in every way they can. So let's bring out the big guns. Mask up! Let's bring out the big guns. We've got to take advantage of this because the summer is nearing the end. We've got to get going. We've got to bring out... Bring out Pauli! Jane Pauli! Bring her out! Politicians may still debate it but it's getting harder and harder to deny with temperatures climbing to new heights everywhere. Something's going on out there. Oh yeah. David Pogue takes us to Phoenix where the heat is on. Going to Phoenix where it's hot as hell. Where it's never been hot. It's hot as hell every single year but something's up this year. David Pogue, man we're bringing out everybody. We need a special report. Forget Jane Pauley, we need David Pogue, we need the works.

14:49 The last eight years have been the hottest years ever measured on the planet. Okay, thanks brother. July was the hottest month ever recorded. July 6 was the hottest day. In all human history since the dinosaurs and beyond. All over the planet... Hold on, hold on. They have a kind of a funny gotcha in the parsing of what he says when he says ever recorded. Of course. Of course. Although they are making a stretch of it when they say in the last 250,000 years because there's no... This is all bull. It's all bull. Yeah, but it's well done. Yeah. July 6 was the hottest day. Day. All over the planet, the heat broke temperature records, including in Siberia. Oh no! 103 degrees. More than half the U.S. population was subject to heat warnings in July.

15:44 Here in Phoenix, Arizona, the heat has broken all kinds of records, including the longest streak of consecutive days where the temperature hit 110 degrees or hotter. Really cooking today in Phoenix, 118 degrees. I think tomorrow will be even hotter. And it's not just the hot air that's dangerous. It's the surfaces. This steering wheel 162.5. This sidewalk is 144 Fahrenheit. That's hot enough to burn your dog's paws in 60 seconds. And this playground slide for children, 182.8 degrees. A metal slide, people. This is unbelievable. This is nothing new. Zero. I have

16:28 I have a documentary I did in 1990, and we went to Vegas. It was for a Dutch station. And it was one of those summers, it was the middle of the summer, and you see me cooking an egg on the pavement. It's like this is the oldest, dumbest stuff ever. It's just simply not true. It's fear-mongering. And they do it to themselves as we just heard. Yeah, that's the great part about it. That's kind of interesting. It's like, it's like the, I don't want to associate, I mentioned trans earlier as a gag, but it's like the same thing. They're doing it to themselves. The liberals are sterilizing their own children.

17:09 Because they're true believers. And they're frontline. And they're frontline. Frontline true believers. This is chopped up into a couple of short segments. Thank you, Clip Custodian. Let's continue with David Pogue's report. So why has so much of the country been scorching for so long? Scorching? Well allow me to introduce that breakout weather term. Before you continue this, this has been the coldest summer I've ever had in this town. I've lived in it for 20 plus years. July 6th was the hottest ever anywhere in the world for all recorded history. You lie, old man. Right now it is about 67. Wow, you must be sweating balls.

17:50 This is like the literal, and I'm not kidding, I've been bitching about it all summer. This is the coldest we never had a June or May, June warm up, never warmed up, cold as hell in July and still cold. It usually starts warming up, hasn't done that. So why don't you do a report around here and then generalize it? You know, Texas, although we need some rain, It's 100. It's not the hottest. Yeah, it's 100, 104. Okay, it's hot. It's Texas summer. It's not like 2011 when it was 212 degrees in Austin. But you know, it doesn't matter. We've got some money we need to justify to spend. Well, allow me to introduce that breakout weather term of 2023.

18:39 The heat dome. Heat dome, never heard of that before. It's an area of high pressure way up high that traps the warm air like the lid on a pot. It traps the heat, it stops rain from moving in to cool us off. And it just sits there. I mean this is true mind control that they are propagandizing upon people. Unfortunately, not every area under the heat dome suffers equally. Oh, unfortunately! You're not suffering equally, you and your teacher. Wait, did he say unfortunately everything is not, not everyone is suffering equally? Listen again.

19:16 Unfortunately, not every area under the heat dome suffers equally. Aw, this is unfortunate. That is unbelievable that if you take a look at that sentence. They want people to suffer. He's literally saying, I'm sorry that not everyone's suffering. Well, that's what he's saying. The next sentence kind of reverses that, but I agree with you. That's what he was saying for sure. Unfortunately, not every area under the heat dome suffers equally. You want to know who gets the worst of it? Cities. Cities are where heat comes to stay and comes to live. Becca Benner is a director of climate issues at the non-profit Nature Conservancy. I want to be a director of climate issues.

19:59 I bet you I get a good salary doing that. Let me talk about some climate issues. As you know, I'm the director of them. Cities on average are several degrees warmer than the surrounding areas. Well, this is new! And just because of so much pavement... 1987. The summer of 1987, I moved to New York City, to Manhattan, and I thought I had entered hell. Manhattan funny. Oh in the summer in New York City in 1987. I saw you that was the hellish part You saw me that was it was that I remember this

20:37 It was PC Magazine. So I remember getting out of my hotel room, walking about a block, and then... And you fell down with a heart attack almost. I had to go back and change my clothes. That's what 1987... and summers after that, many summers. That's why people leave New York City in the summer. They leave because you can't breathe. It's so humid, it's so hot. So humid you get soaked. Yes, only poor people like VJs live in the city during the summer. Cities on average are several degrees warmer than the surrounding areas. That's why they invented the Hamptons. And just because of so much pavement, it tends to absorb heat better and reflect heat better.

21:22 They call it an urban heat island effect. Too much pavement, not enough trees. It absorbs or reflects? Yes, it's... She says it absorbs and reflects. Let's listen. Several degrees warmer than the surrounding areas and just because of so much pavement it tends to absorb heat better and reflect heat better. Massively cool! This is scientific. That's not even possible. It is kind of... It's a contradiction. It's either going to absorb or reflect. Yeah, good point.

22:02 Yeah, what is that, Director of Climate Issues? They call it the urban heat island effect. It's the urban heat island effect when it absorbs and reflects at the same time. Don't you know anything about science? Too much pavement, not enough trees and greenery to cool things off. It's a city. The heat island effect is worst in the poorer areas of our cities, where there aren't many trees, and even the bus stops don't always offer shade. Poor people, doors for poor people. Well, it's alright because they have a solution. Last month, President Biden announced some small steps toward adapting to dangerous heat, like expanding access to drinking water, improving weather forecasts. Improving weather forecasts? That must be those red maps we have now. What does that mean? I don't know. It's improving the weather forecast, you know, making it better.

22:59 You know, making it more scary. Like what does banning access to drinking water mean in the city? It means someone spent some money on something that no one benefited from. A faucet? Yeah, faucets. Access to drinking water, improving weather forecasts, and setting up a heat alert system. Oh! We should be protecting workers from hazardous conditions, and we will. Oh, you need a... But Guardaro maintains that there's much more to be done. And the federal government should start taking heat as seriously as it treats other climate disasters. FEMA has never declared extreme heat as a disaster. Wait, wait, wait. So flooding and hurricane, all those things can be designated federal disaster areas, but not heat? Not heat.

23:53 standing up more cooling centers, providing greater services for people. No, that is not reimbursed by the government because there has never been a FEMA extreme heat declared disaster. We need a FEMA extreme heat declared disaster because when you have a FEMA disaster, you're right, money. That's when the money comes out, said the director of climate issues. Now, which disaster kills the most? Of all the disasters, what is the most deadly disaster? Which climate crisis disaster kills the most people? Oh man, which one could it be? I'm going to say severe cold kills the most people. That is a fact. People die in the winter easily.

24:45 Look at France. Look at all, look at the UK. This is a chart show that the chart show that you want cold you're gonna get dead. Extreme heat is the climate disaster that kills the most people in fact. No, that's a lie. But in fact, she has a fact. It kills more people than all of the other disasters combined. That is demonstrably just not true. You can, in fact, I will consult... No, there's charts. They've been going around these charts showing that the extreme cold is very deadly. Extreme heat, you know, you can... ways of getting around it. Soak yourself. There's a lot of things you can do. Let me see. Wunderground... This is not... this is a...

25:30 Here, this is a very... Who did this report? Where did this show up? CBS! CBS. CBS? When did Post start working for them? He's freelance. Here, this is Forbes. Take it for what it is. Just my first hit on a search. Excessive heat can kill, but extreme cold still causes many more fatalities. I mean they could have done a search. Yeah, that took you two seconds to find. And we kind of have a joke here that we show a picture of before a heatwave and then we show a picture after a heatwave. Yeah, that's a big joke. The joke is you're making money, Director of Climate Issues. It's the same picture. And that's part of the problem because people see tornadoes and houses are upended and hurricanes and trees and utility poles and it's this invisible killer. So it sounds like heat

26:19 among the various climate disasters does not get enough love from the media and the government. It absolutely does not get enough love. Heat needs more love! This is the Tiffany Network, I want to remind you. The Tiffany Network of News. Heat doesn't get enough love. Heat needs more love. Well done, the final clip. You know it, you know what's coming. We just have to call it what it is because every single disaster whenever it takes place in the United States, American media, they always come to the same old phrase. Wait, wait, can I guess the conclusion? Yeah.

26:55 Trump's fault. Of course, heat waves aren't the only result of the warming planet. Heat also dries out vegetation and we get fires. Heat evaporates the land so we get droughts. Heat evaporates the oceans so we get hurricanes. The Nature Conservancy's Becca Benner cautions us not to think of this summer's heat as something freakish and rare. It's the new normal. It is no longer a future threat. We are living this now. So whether your basement just flooded, whether you just had to evacuate for a fire, whether it's too hot for you to go outside and enjoy yourself, that means we are now experiencing some of the impacts of climate change. We have to reduce emissions and we have to do it immediately and faster. And faster. It's the new normal. That's what it is. The new normal.

27:48 It's always been normal, but now you just put a new it's like new coke the new normal, but they same effectiveness They've got to hurry because you know we're at the top of the of the solar cycle By the day I assume that thing flips over. Yes, it's gonna cold. Yes. It's gonna get really cold, but that'll be climate change Don't worry. You know be climate change. Oh, what are we gonna do? Yeah by the by 2030 That's when the temperatures will just go down by the natural cycle, which is well discussed in the science. I only have one climate clip, which is the hot in Alaska clip, which got some attention from NPR. Let's see. Hot? I'm looking for hot. There's never been hot in Alaska ever.

28:40 I wish I could find... oh climate. Well when you say hot in Alaska I'm looking for the A's. I said I only have one climate clip. Last month may have been the hottest July ever recorded on earth and Alaska isn't spared. The state is now facing a late season flare-up of wildfires in the interior as record heat drags into August. As Anna Canney with Member Station KTOO reports, more than 140 wildfires are burning across the states. This round of wildfires comes after relatively little fire activity earlier this summer. Climate specialist Rick Thoman with the University of Alaska Fairbanks says that August typically brings relief to the state's fire-prone interior. By the time we get to early August, it's raining, that's putting out fires and keeping existing fires from growing.

29:26 This year, that's not happening. Instead, hot, dry conditions that began last month have persisted. Fruit Gjodvik, the nation's northernmost city, this July was the hottest month on record. For Fairbanks, the second hottest. Hottest on record. On record. The hottest on record. Well, I mean, we know what this does. We know what this does. This brings, this brings COVID. Well, you know I have some interesting clips. So do I but I yield the floor to you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so There's something going on. I don't know what it is Do I mr. Smith or whatever his name was?

30:11 This is bad doctors report on PBS. They brought this woman on her name is Lena's son, and she's a writer for the WAPO. Perfect for the climate change segue. Yeah, but she's a she's a she talks about she's the one who introduced us to Zika. Oh, she's the one who introduced us to monkeypox. Is this article after article why she may be the beast? She's the one who introduced it. Oh big breaking story. Oh, it's great now. We can get the shots for five-year-olds This is that woman. She is a deep she is Here we go

30:50 Oh, Zika. Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika. Little baby with a little bitty head. That's right, Zika, Zika, Zika. We've been all over that. Here she is, they're going after Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine. Yes. Because they can't stop themselves because I think there's an investigation afoot. And so they're going to do what they can to cut them off at the pass. Bad doctors, Lena's sign, cut one. First cut. Cut one. Cut one. What happens when in the middle of a pandemic, doctors spread misinformation, potentially endangering people's lives? William Brangham spoke recently with a reporter who set out to answer that very question. A new investigation from The Washington Post reveals how doctors who pushed medical misinformation, particularly about dangerous alleged COVID remedies,

31:39 faced few, if any, repercussions. One of the lead reporters on that investigation was Lena Sun. She covers health and infectious diseases for The Post and joins us now. Lena Sun, welcome back to the NewsHour. Thank you, nice to be here. You looked at complaints against doctors in all 50 states and from the starting of the pandemic until just recently. Before we get into what you found, can you tell us what were these doctors alleged to have been doing? Oh, this is the disinfo dozen. This is Mercola and all those guys. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. This has got nothing to do with those people. Oh, this is the doctors, the regular doctors on the street. Uh, we had an old clip of that guy and it used to be in Hawaii five. Oh, talking about how his doctor treated him when he got COVID early on when it was really dangerous. And he mentioned hydroxychloroquine, maybe ivermectin, uh, very good.

32:31 clip we picked up early in the show. Yes. No, this is about regular doctors. This is a warning shot across the bow to any doctors who dare to violate what they're told to say and what they're told to do. It's got nothing to do with the disinformation doesn't at all and they're not doctors most of them. So let's go. Here we go. This is part two. It covers the range, but many of the doctors that we looked into that actually were disciplined were prescribing ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. Those are two treatments that are shown to be not effective for treating COVID-19. But they, of course, gained a lot of popularity during the pandemic because they were pushed by former President Trump and his allies. Yeah, Trump, Trump and his allies. Now I have to

33:25 put a little color in here. When they showed, when she said Ivermectin, they showed, they went to a picture of an Ivermectin horse gel. And to top it off, a picture of a horse. It said Ivermectin and they had a silhouette of a running horse. So they're driving this old point home. William Brangham, who's the guy who's the reporter here interviewing her, pushes back on nothing. He's like a pushover on this interview. He's the worst. He doesn't have one journalistic inquiry. It's all, oh, that's what they found? Oh, and his jaws dropped. Oh, that's terrible. What else did the Washington Post discover? Now was this a PBS News Hour? Yeah.

34:22 I'm gonna take a look at who's supporting them. I can tell you right now I did this research. Oh good. Pfizer is nowhere to be found. In fact, Pfizer is so obviously missing that I'm very suspicious about this report and the whole thing. Whatever the case is, No, you won't find it. You can't find the connection that put this, which is kind of a reverse negative ad on the air. But it's a totally disgusting product and they should be ashamed of themselves. But here we go. Cut three. So that was the prescription side. But then there were other physicians who were spreading false and misleading statements about vaccines and masks and treatments, saying things like equating the COVID vaccine to needle rape

33:25 put a little color in here. When they showed, when she said Ivermectin, they showed, they went to a picture of an Ivermectin horse gel. And to top it off, a picture of a horse. It said Ivermectin and they had a silhouette of a running horse. So they're driving this old point home. William Brangham, who's the guy who's the reporter here interviewing her, pushes back on nothing. He's like a pushover on this interview. He's the worst. He doesn't have one journalistic inquiry. It's all, oh, that's what they found? Oh, and his jaws dropped. Oh, that's terrible. What else did the Washington Post discover? Now was this a PBS News Hour? Yeah.

Cut three. So that was the prescription side. But then there were other physicians who were spreading false and misleading statements about vaccines and masks and treatments, saying things like equating the COVID vaccine to needle rape

35:08 or needle rape. And that was one Idaho pathologist who is under investigation in Washington state. Or saying that ivermectin, if you take it, it's up to 90% effective in getting rid of the disease. These are blatantly untrue. But what happened is that they would fill the vacuum out there on social media. A lot of people wanted to know. Remember during the pandemic there was a lot of confusion. A lot of people latched on to these conspiracy theories, these ideas. They would march into the hospital ERs demanding these medications. Were there actual harms that came from these untruths and prescriptions? I think

35:53 What the disciplinary documents show us is that some doctors would prescribe these unproven treatments to people, and then days later, the person died. Oh, wow. This is well, you know, that's all ramping up. I mean, that's obviously what it is. But it has a little bit to do with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure. That makes sense. And he's got the goods on this ivermectin stuff. And there's been plenty of documentation you have. And you still have Peter McCullough. They can't you can't push back on him too much, but they won't have him on a show like this. So they bring this woman on who's really just a kind of a

36:36 handering or professional gravel rouser and Brangham who's just can't He's just all in on the whole thing. This is a very... But when they put the picture of the ivermectin and the horse on the screen, that was it for me. PBS is no good. They're no good. Let's go on with the next clip. Now, they died, whether it was a direct linkage or if it was... if they were going to die from other causes, it's not that clear. But we do know that they were prescribed this medication and then they died.

37:12 And then you have to think about the delayed opportunity cost, right? So if I am prescribing you some quack medicine and that prevents you from going to get a vaccine or an antiviral that could actually prevent you from getting serious disease or dying. Dying? Well, you know, you figure it out. You figure it out. You figure it out. But if you're dying, dying. Okay, so we have the fifth clip and then I have a bonus clip. So this will wrap this up. Because it is not illegal quote-unquote to off-label prescribe something. Right, off-label is something that doctors do all the time and that's their right, that's their medical judgment. But what we have here is doctors prescribing

37:55 medications that are way outside medical consensus. You know, it's not like, okay, this might work. And this was done after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration expressly warned against doing this because of potential harm. Your reporting also shows that not only are these oversight boards overtaxed and have a myriad set of different rules governing them, but also some states are taking specific steps to make it harder for them to do their jobs specifically about this issue. Exactly. So already you have these state medical boards that are underfunded, under-resourced, you know they have their hands tied, right? Then you have state legislatures or attorneys general who say

38:41 Oh, you know what? You guys, you don't have the authority to discipline any doctors if they're prescribing ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine. Those drugs specifically? Yes, those specifically. Lena Sun of the Washington Post, really a tremendous investigation. Thank you. Thank you. Tremendous investigation. Just tremendous. The actor you mentioned was Daniel Dae Kim. from lost here is a treatment protocol I followed as prescribed by my amazing doctor it was what's called a drug cocktail which means it's a combination of different drugs they consisted of Tamiflu which is an antiviral the antibiotic azithromycin more commonly known as a Z pack a glycopyrrolate inhaler that was used to

39:26 ease breathing and the inflammation that's commonly associated with COVID. And here's what I consider to be the secret weapon, hydroxychloroquine. Yeah, there you go. He hasn't worked since. The thing is, of course, these doctors are trying to treat people instead of following the rule of just let him die. Put him on the ventilator. They put all kinds of now. Now I'm trying to figure out this when you can't get the goods on or I think I could find there's a here's an interesting clip where she was interviewing Fauci. And it's all about getting money, money, money, money, money. And this is the clip is called, this is the Wapo Fauci on C, and she was on C-SPAN. So she's brought on C-SPAN to do this sort of thing, to come in and ask questions. Borrowed money up to now, so there's not been a significant slowdown. That's not the issue. The issue is if we don't get the money very soon, all of the things that we've been leading up to, we're not gonna be able to bring to the goal line.

40:24 So could I follow up with that, Dr. Fauci? So if you don't get it very soon, then what is your drop dead? If you are going to go into phase one at the end of August, early September, you can't wait until early September to start phase, you know, you have to be preparing for phase two now. So was your drop dead a couple weeks ago or is it gonna be in another month or what? So good question. First of all, let me just say that the so-called drop dead point is really different for the development of a vaccine and what we do and different for what... Oh, hold on, hold on, wait, hold on, stop the clip. I'm sorry, that's a clip from 2016 and they're talking about getting money, 1.9 billion dollars for Zika. Aww, you're doing the same dirty tricks I'm doing. Very funny, Mr. Dvorak. Well, then let's talk about other off-label medication.

41:21 Because you know it's okay when it's really out in the open and big pharma, and you can you know everyone just agrees It's oh what a wonder drug. Let's go on every single show and let's just say ozempic. It's fantastic It's for it's for diabetes, but it's okay. Don't worry about it You can use it to lose weight for your high school reunion or don't really do it for that, but yeah Now the makers of two of the most popular weight loss and diabetes drugs are facing a major lawsuit over claims about potential side effects. Potential, I'm not a doctor but I think I've been warning for a year about this. CBS's Janet Shamblin has the details.

42:01 They've been game changers in the world of weight loss. The drugs Ozempic and Mounjaro delivering big results, generally without dangerous side effects. But a lawsuit filed today against manufacturers Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly claims otherwise. saying the drugs can cause stomach paralysis, something they claim happened to their client, a 44 year old Louisiana woman who took the drugs for type 2 diabetes and weight loss. Wait for it. Her problems have been so severe that she's been to the emergency room multiple times, including last weekend. She's actually even thrown up so violently that she's lost teeth. Stomach paralysis can be a side effect of dieting. Oh my God!

42:47 Ah, that's a good one. Which the drugs are commonly prescribed for. Rhea Hand, who is not involved in the lawsuit, has had similar issues with Ozempic. The stomach pain was just unbearable and I just couldn't keep anything down. I would drink something and within minutes, like five, ten minutes later, I would be throwing it right up. No wonder it works so well for weight loss. More than 40% of Americans are obese. And demand for the medications has soared. They aren't cheap. A one month supply can cost more than $1,300. But now the University of Texas system says it will end insurance coverage for the FDA approved weight loss drugs Wigovi and Sexenda. Aha! Notice they're not ending it for everything. This is what this game is about now.

43:31 The game is now about who is going to continue coverage, who's going to continue to pump money into these pharma companies. And there is your key. It's a disease. You're sick. It's like, it's a brain disease. It's a disease. You can't help it. It's not your fault. It's a disease. It's not your fault. I don't know how you could get a report like that because I have a report kind of on the same topic with Dr. Jen. She's America's favorite doctor. On Good Morning America 3. On Good Morning America 3. Yeah. Yesterday.

44:23 Yes, and? And? Is she saying that people are throwing up their teeth? Puke and ivory? No. No, here it is, Dr. Jen. Sorry, Dr. Jen, let's talk medical news. And apparently there's a brand new study out that's talking about the popular drug Wegovy. It's been FDA approved for weight loss, but now researchers are finding that it also has significant heart health benefits. Yeah, so let's go through this now. This is preliminary data, not yet peer reviewed or published, released by the drug manufacturer. But it shows what we've known about other drugs in the same class. These GLP-1 agonists, take a look at what they found. They looked at 17,000 overweight and obese adults, 45 years of age and older, with a diagnosis of heart disease. What they found is a major reduction in the risk of cardiovascular events like stroke, heart attack by 20%.

45:14 among people taking this drug. The drug maker does plan to request approval beyond that of obesity as early as the end of this year. Hopefully then insurance coverage may follow and why is that important? These drugs are incredibly expensive at least a thousand dollars per month for the weekly injection if you're paying out-of-pocket sometimes closer to $1,300 a month and remember CDC data, heart disease, the number one killer of men and women in this country. So anytime you can expand the FDA... Hey, what happened to smoking? What happened to smoking being the number one killer of men and women in this country? Smoking called, they're angry. One killer of men and women in this country. So anytime you can expand the FDA indications for a medication to include reducing risk of heart disease, heart attacks, that's a big deal. I know you're board certified in obesity medicine. How do you hope that this impacts

46:10 the conversation I mean around these drugs and weight loss. I think it is so important as someone who's board-certified in obesity medicine there has been such a backlash in society against these class of medications that is based on stigma not science. These drugs have a role for people who are overweight and obese it is not as simple as eating less and moving more for those people and again saving lives as an endpoint that's the goal. Did you notice that she's board certified in obesity medicine as was mentioned by the host and then by herself? So I looked up the board for obesity medicine. Hmm. It's a rinky dink operation. It's like it's a, it's a cell. It's like you take a test once a year and you get this certification. The whole operation is a, it's like a ham radio license.

47:04 Yes, it's exactly like a tech license. Let's get that straight. Yeah, a tech license. Yeah, it's like a tech license. And the board itself, the whole budget and the whole board is like a million five. Obesity medicine. How about, you know, healthy living? I mean, sorry. American Board of Obesity Medicine. Well, some... And all they do, and I couldn't get any connect. There is some funding that is miscellaneous funding of a million dollars, which is most of their budget. And then the rest of their funding comes from the people taking the test. You have to pay to take the test. Then you get your certification. You put your AB, whatever, obesity medicine letters after your name. It's bullshit. So there's a lot going on. People are, and I think a lot of this is meant to cover up what the news really is. Turbo cancers, you're hearing this everywhere. Myocarditis, heart damage.

47:57 I'm not saying it's not causation, but correlation. One out of 35 COVID vaccinated people have expressed some form of myocarditis heart damage. That's a real study. This one... is an extraction of studies, but I'm just going to quote it as if I know what I'm talking about. The VAERS data is crystal clear. That's the Vaccine Adverse Event Registration System. The COVID vaccines are killing an estimated one person per 1,000 doses. And my favorite, and this is from, no, this was actually from, where did this one come from? I gotta click on the link because it's some official study.

47:04 Yes, it's exactly like a tech license. Let's get that straight. Yeah, a tech license. Yeah, it's like a tech license. And the board itself, the whole budget and the whole board is like a million five. Obesity medicine. How about, you know, healthy living? I mean, sorry. American Board of Obesity Medicine. Well, some... And all they do, and I couldn't get any connect. There is some funding that is miscellaneous funding of a million dollars, which is most of their budget. And then the rest of their funding comes from the people taking the test. You have to pay to take the test. Then you get your certification. You put your AB, whatever, obesity medicine letters after your name. It's bullshit. So there's a lot going on. People are, and I think a lot of this is meant to cover up what the news really is. Turbo cancers, you're hearing this everywhere. Myocarditis, heart damage.

47:57 I'm not saying it's not causation, but correlation. One out of 35 COVID vaccinated people have expressed some form of myocarditis heart damage. That's a real study. This one... is an extraction of studies, but I'm just going to quote it as if I know what I'm talking about. The VAERS data is crystal clear. That's the Vaccine Adverse Event Registration System. The COVID vaccines are killing an estimated one person per 1,000 doses. And my favorite, and this is from, no, this was actually from, where did this one come from? I gotta click on the link because it's some official study.

48:45 Conclusion, mRNA-1273 vaccine associated myocardial injury was more common than previously thought, being mild and transient, and more frequent in women versus men. This warrants further study. So there's a lot of study going on. There's a lot of things that aren't quite adding up with safe. Yeah. And I mentioned something here just in its passing. Yeah. That Lena Sun woman was the one who pushed the notion in articles in the Washington Post, pushed the notion of, hey, you got your Johnson and Johnson and a booster. Oh yeah. Get an MRNA vaccine too. Yeah. That's her.

49:31 Ozempic and Wigovy are courting black leaders seeking Medicare's favor because you know black people have diabetes far more often and obesity far more often than any other color American. So they're trying to get some money out of that. And there's a new drug and maybe this is part of it. Scientists developed wonder drug that could make people skinny no matter how many calories of junk food they eat. It's called dysentery. It's called puke and ivory. I don't know. So that's on the way.

50:12 But there is also a new COVID variant lurking. New data from the CDC that shows COVID hospitalizations increased during the last week of July. And this comes as tracking reinfections of the virus continue to wane after the public health emergency ended in May. ABC News medical contributor and epidemiologist Dr. John Brownstein is joining us now for more. So thank you so much for being with us, Dr. Brownstein. And those hospitalizations, they went up, you know, 12.5% during the end of July compared to the week prior. Realistically, how does that compare to the peak of this pandemic and do we need to be concerned? Yeah, well, well, Kena, we do have to be concerned to a certain degree and be vigilant. And we are seeing a lot more people around us getting COVID. That being said, those numbers still remain incredibly low. If you put into perspective, we've seen about 9000 weekly hospitalizations.

51:02 We had about 150,000 during the height of the Omicron peak, so it's still such a small fraction. And we haven't seen any changes in deaths, so there could be reporting delays. A lot of these increasing cases are related to this new variant, the EG5, but it's really descended of Omicron. So our existing treatments, our tests, our vaccines, all work. So yes, we should watch these numbers and be concerned. But overall, this isn't a big change in the pandemic. Now, this EG5, I think it's EG5.1, it's almost like a new version of Microsoft Office. You know, so what version do you have 5.1? It has a nickname. And here's something else that's not ending soon. The pandemic. Thanks to the multiple new variants of COVID-19. Reports say a new COVID-19 variant is spreading quickly in the UK. It goes by the name of ARIS.

51:55 How fast is this variant spreading and how lethal is it? Our next report explores. When was this variant discovered? How fast is it spreading? And how lethal is it? Let's find out. To start with, when was this variant discovered? Well, ARIS was initially identified as a COVID variant only on 31st July. It was discovered to be a sub-variant of the Omicron strain. UK's health security agency said it was spreading at a rapid pace. How rapid?

52:38 What is the transmissibility rate of the variant? Well, not many details are available about the transmission rate of ARIS. But if we go by the surge in COVID cases and hospital admissions in the UK, they indicate that sitting back calmly won't really help. Just like other COVID variants, this one too is likely to infect many. According to reports, in the week beginning July 10th, approximately 11.8 of UK sequences were identified as ARIS. The data from August indicates that this figure has climbed to a worrisome 14.6% of all cases. So they're starting to give us all kinds of worrisome numbers but Ares I love this new nickname this Ares which it's cute can I ask you a question technical question technical question yes what's the difference between a variant and a sub variant

53:29 I don't know. This is a technical question. He said it was a sub-variant, then he said it was a variant. Well, Eris is a variant of a variant. So it's a variant of... But aren't all the variants a variant of a variant? Well, technically... Or are there variants of variants that aren't variants of variants? But I like it when they name the sub-variant of a variant. Yeah, at least it's memorable. And this one is Eris. And Eris is not hard to look up, E-R-I-S. Eris is the Greek goddess of strife and discord. Well, isn't that special? It's kind of appropriate. Her Roman equivalent is discordia, which means the same. Eric's Greek opposite is harmonia. We need a drug called harmonia. We need a vaccine called harmonia. We need harmonia to combat Eris. Let me see. There you go. That's it. So I just, you know, do they name that on purpose? Like, ha ha ha.

54:26 I've got a, I've got a, there's always some joker in the group there that does that. There's a couple of things here. Let me see. Let's see. Uh, let's go to NBC. See what they're saying about Eris. As summer winds down COVID-19 cases rise again. This time a variant called the EG 0.5 commonly called Eris is spreading across the state and southeastern North Carolina. Commonly known. I just heard of it this second. How is it commonly called anything? Because the memo went out, it's common now. It's common. Stop making waves, podcaster. Five, commonly called ARIS, is spreading across the state and southeastern North Carolina. New Hanover County Health Director John Campbell

55:08 says that's consistent with the numbers they're tracking. We have seen some trending upwards in the wastewater surveillance, which is one of our key indicators looking at COVID numbers. This is the new thing. And we saw this coming, the wastewater, which they will... I'm just gonna say, our prediction has always been... that this wastewater analysis was going to, because they can do it down to the block. And they're going to start locking people in their apartment blocks. You got too much COVID in your poop, so you guys, you can't get out. Another thing that we look at is hospitalizations or emergency department visits. The CDC says positive COVID tests and hospitalizations have continued to grow in the last week. That could lead to some worries for parents with a new school year quickly approaching. Yeah. But Campbell says parents shouldn't stress. I don't want parents to necessarily be overly concerned for anything but more aware. Given the advancements in COVID prevention and treatment, he believes parents should take the same

56:07 approach to keeping your family safe as they would for any illness. Number one, keep your child healthy and as well as they can. Any routine childhood vaccines that they need should be offered those. And certainly if individuals are feeling unwell, I would recommend that they see a primary care provider and consider for consideration of COVID testing or other respiratory virus. Further reminder that even though the pandemic may be over, COVID is still around. It's still around. Let's go to CBS Mornings, Dr. Celine Gounder. Let's talk about it. It's time to bring it up. Here's something we haven't talked about in a while. The C word in this case means COVID. Wow, that's so cool. It used to mean cancer, Gail, but now it's the C word. Who comes up with this script? Who decided that was a good idea?

56:55 Because I always thought it meant something else. Well, there you go. No, I think when you are talking to a doctor and someone says, let's talk about the C word, you go, oh, cancer. That's the first thing you think about. I understand when you say see Gail you think of something else but yeah and but this is now a wordplay we're talking about COVID. COVID get it? Here's something we haven't talked about in a while the c-word this in this case means COVID. I saw something on the news the other day that just said COVID is going back up a How much should we worry about that? And then we hear in the fall that there's a new booster coming out. Who should get the booster? No booster! Is it going up? You know, when I saw it on the news, I go, no, not again. You know, a few weeks ago, a friend of mine got COVID. Really? What? What? A friend of yours got COVID?

57:47 the c word was he and he had it before did he ever get a booster was he boosted and you know a few weeks ago a friend of mine got covid really yeah they had it before and he said he's feeling okay is he boosted is he boosted yeah is he boosted is he boosted is he boosted is he boosted is he boosted yeah it kind of shocked us yeah what shocked us he was boosted wow we haven't talked about it in a while we're certainly seeing it. In fact, I just had a patient in the hospital. Well, I'll get to that. So we're certainly seeing patients and I saw a patient who was relatively young, who had COVID, who was in the hospital, not vaccinated. Ah, see? Oh, you made a mistake. Why did you even interrupt the introduction? We won't talk about that now because he was boosted. Because my story is about someone, a young patient of mine, who was in the hospital

58:36 which we all know that the vaccine prevents you from dying and entering the hospital of severe illness. That's my story. Yes, strange vaccine, but that's what it does. That's my story. So just because you've been infected does not mean you have full protection. We're still seeing much higher rates of hospitalization and death for that matter among people who remain unvaccinated. Oh, this is simply not true. This does not fit any evidence, anecdotal or factual. People who have been boosted are getting COVID two, three, four, five times. Are we seeing an uptick? Well, it really depends on how you look at the numbers. We have seen a 10% increase in hospitalizations over the last few weeks.

59:21 But 10% of a very small number is still a very small number. And the booster is in the fall. So the booster, everyone six months and up can get the booster if they want to. But the groups again that most need it are the groups I mentioned earlier. So the elderly, pregnant women, people who have immunosuppression, chronic medical conditions, especially heart or lung disease, and people who live in nursing homes or other group settings. But if you're not in that group, do you think you don't really have to get it? That's what I'm trying to— I think it really—that's really up to you at that point. So some people feel more concerned.

59:56 you know, are you the person who gets the flu shot every year? You're probably going to want to get that COVID shot. You know, if you've already been fully vaccinated, it's less important for that young, healthy group. You mentioned the flu shot last year. Yeah, no, we're not going to talk about the flu shot, but we are going to go back to this. No, we already did that one, didn't we? Did the, no, we did the local report. It's all, they're just, it's starting to ratchet up. It's just what it is. Get it going, get everyone starting to go get scared, you know, throw in some RSV. I'm not going to play those clips. But the the thing that bothers me the most still is this Alpha-Gal. A lot of people have been doing research. It keeps coming back that Alpha-Gal has been used in multiple vaccines as an adjuvant. So it's just very, very annoying. And so, you know, let me see.

1:00:49 I have under the Alpha Gal, what did I have here? I have a couple of stories but it ties into something new. Hey guys, says one of our boots on the ground reports, I got a wild hair about this Alpha Gal stuff. Came across a few things that struck me as a little odd. I found that the only FDA approved GMO mammal for human consumption is the Gal-Safe pig. Yeah, they genetically engineered a pig. to remove alpha-gal from its cells, which would mean that if you have alpha-gal allergy, you could eat their pig. Which by itself is a little annoying. That's called marketing. It is. Then, what is this one? Bill Gates funded research into genetically engineered cattle ticks.

1:01:43 And now of course we have half a million Americans who have allergies from alpha-gal syndrome caused by tick bites. But then, then this lab pops up in the news in the UK in Porton Down. And BBC News says, can this laboratory, notice my pronunciation, can this laboratory help stop the nips in the next pandemic? Yes, The Guardian calls it the new vaccine research centre in the UK to help scientists prepare for disease X.

1:02:21 Just like Planet X. That's right. Disease X. I think that that's been slipped in because they're considering Elon Musk a disease. Well, we heard about disease X on, I'll replay a little bit of this, on Davos Radio. That is the World Economic Forum podcast. A pathogen known as disease X, the virus that we don't know yet. What? I was just mumbling disease X.

1:03:06 gain a lot of knowledge ahead of time about something that doesn't exist yet. A new book called Disease X says... So we've got a book, we got the WEF talking about on the podcast, so they're ramping it up and then all of a sudden in the UK, portent down. Wasn't there another down that had a laboratory that was in trouble in the UK hundreds of years ago? I don't... didn't ring a bell. Yes, it wasn't important. It was some other down or downs or something. Anyway, so then I find this little ditty on Sky News talking where they interview some people from this laboratory where they hope that they can detect and prepare and be ready for disease X when it comes. Listen carefully. In some of the most secure labs in the country, scientists are already preparing for the next pandemic.

1:04:00 It's just called disease X for now because nobody knows for sure which virus will cause it. But at its port and down complex, the UK Health Security Agency is scanning the horizon for threats and starting work on vaccines just in case. What we're seeing is a rising risk globally. Now some of that is because of things like urbanisation where you may get species jumping, so a virus jumping from, as we've seen with bird flu, into humans. Some of it is because of climate change, so this is a growing risk agenda, but then it's one that we can use our science actively to...

1:04:38 prevent human impact. Okay, so we're already setting up some of this is because of climate change. It's all gonna tie together. Remember we discovered a very horrible disease spreading with a 30% death rate. Do we remember it? CCHF? I do. Yes, Crimea, Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever. Yeah, something like that. Now watch, let's tie it all together. It took a little under a year to develop the COVID jab. The target for a vaccine in the next pandemic is just 100 days. Bird flu, monkey pox and other animal viruses capable of infecting humans are being closely monitored. One early success is a potential vaccine against Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever. It's spread by ticks with a fatality rate of around 30%. It's found in Europe and it's

1:05:33 Hold on a second. Crimean, you got your, there's your Ukraine. Congo, did you say Congo? Congo? Let me see. Moving on. Early success is a potential vaccine against Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever. Congo, a Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever spread by tick. It's spread by ticks. Come on. They're setting us up for this. Because we know you can get all kinds of horrible meat diseases from ticks. So it must be real. It's not in the vaccine. No, it's from a tick. It's from the Lone Star tick.

1:06:10 So now the CCHF, the Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever spread by tick... There's definitely a connection between Crimea and Congo. And there's a benefit... Fatality rate of around 30%. It's found in Europe and it's moving north with climate change. And it's moving north with climate change! Wow, they're doing a great bit here. They're slamming it all together. We got Ukraine. They gotta get Trump in the action. That's why they're trying to get ahead and clinical trials are already underway.

1:06:49 I'm not quite sure what that is. But it is bird flu that currently tops the list. All right, then they're going to go back to bird flu now. Bird flu's no good. I like the CCHF spread by tick moving north because of climate change. And they're studying this under the guise of disease X. Come on, this is great. This is fantastic. Brother, these people are fanatics. This is terrible. Well, I think it's a winner. They should be strung up. When is that going to happen? I think it's a winner. It's a winner. It's a big winner. No one's going to be strung up. Except us. We're going to be strung up. No, I don't think so. I got a great email. I won't even read the whole thing, but... You guys are Zionist traitors!

1:07:44 Traitors to who? You will be exposed as a scumbag shills that you are after the revolution. For what? For being Zionist shills. After the revolution you'll be... What? After the revolution you'll be forced into penury scumbag. Penury? What's penury? Uh, well, you know, I always used to know what I think I know what it means, but I don't have a definition at the top of my tongue. Let's look it up. Okay, well, that's a good. So this guy anonymous, of course, said, you know, in other words, some some chicken shit creep. You guys don't talk about the PNAC.

1:08:31 And so I went to be what PNAC project for new American century because they're the Zionists They're the ones that run the country. They want to kill us. Oh those we've talked about that We talked about that group like 10 years ago to an extreme I know and so I put a bunch of neocon jerk-offs. Yeah, and I put it in into Bing it dot IO and I come up with you know like 50 episodes where we discuss it just specifically. Yeah, so this guy obviously is phony And then he comes a phony. He's a phony. There's a phony, but there is what's the definition I can't I have to Stop the show and go get batteries for my keyboard

1:09:11 The definition of penury? Now I can look that up. Now are you getting, do you have to go downstairs and get these batteries? Yes, I have to go downstairs. I usually have a couple up here but I can't find them. State of penury. State of extreme poverty or destitution. Yeah, destitution. How far are we? We're not even that far. What are you talking about? Well, that's because we're podcasters. Okay, go ahead. I'll pause everything for a moment. Sorry. Sometime later. Yes, batteries installed. Yes.

1:09:47 But the joke is on me in the meet in the interim I had dug around thinking that because I usually keep spare batteries up here I find a couple in the cup. I put him in it didn't work. You just gave you just know I put him in a game didn't work my mind theater and I stopped the show and left and came back to put the new batteries in and I opened it the Compartment and the two batteries that I had put in were both in the same direction. I didn't put him in correctly and Yeah, so I had already solved the problem in advance of having to stop everything to get batteries because the better I had batteries So yeah, I go through the show checklist before I start the show No, no, this was no the batteries that were in at the beginning were put in properly, but they went dead I know but I may I put in fresh batteries every show. No, you don't know I don't but it sounds good. I

1:10:39 They used to do that. They used to do that. Okay, little show, you know, tech TV. Yes. No, tech TV. So they used to have a guy there who was always, he was one of those guys. Most broadcasters are this way. They change the batteries in everything before every, every day. In the mics, especially in the wireless mics. Yep, everything's changing. There's a big box and they take the used batteries and I put them in a giant box and instead of throwing them out They let the employees take them home. So I used to take home these batteries. God, you are the cheapest guy I know No, what am I gonna do? Why should I be buying batteries when there's all these batteries and so I would bring boxes of these batteries home

1:11:20 And then one day they fired the guy, of course, because you know, they had to let go. First day, you know, the way the battery budget was out of control. That's why they fired him. The budget was out of control. The guy's gone. So now they're letting the batteries, the old battery. So of course on my show, the batteries go dead. I can just see it happening. I can just see it happening. Oh goodness. Anyway, while you were mucking around there, I looked up the definition. There's a new definition I wanted to tell you. It's very disturbing that pretty much all dictionaries have changed

1:11:57 And this came up at home because Tina was talking about something being decimated. And it's very hard for me, even though it's a dickish thing to do, it's hard for me to not say, you know, decimate actually kind of means like 10 percent. One out of ten. One out of ten. No. And I say, well, yeah, because it comes from no. And I go, if you can break the word down, Dessa is ten. Yeah. But all the dictionaries have changed this. They've all changed it. Oh, I didn't know that. Yes, they have all changed it. In fact, Merriam-Webster gives a... The worst. The worst is so far as changing it, the drop of a hat. ...explains regarding the incorrect uses of decimate, it is totally fine to use decimate as a synonym for devastate.

1:12:52 And then they explain why, because, you know, people started using it incorrectly and now it's correct. Which is the best. That's the way it works. Yeah. Definition of... But it's probably because it rhymes with devastate. Yeah, but still, I mean, it's... I agree, but you can't, you know, it's like peeing in the wind. How about the Cambridge dictionary? Cambridge. Well, if you go to the Oxford English Dictionary, I really doubt it's changed. Oxford English. That's the definition of decimate. Let's take a look. That's the big boy. That's the big boy. That's the big boy. Okay. Decimate. Oh, they even have a handy little pronunciation. Let's hear decimate. Decimate. Decimate. Number one, to kill large numbers. Oops. Can you believe it? Number two, severely damage or make something weaker. This is crazy.

1:13:52 It's over. It's over for our little nerdy debate. We're just wrong now. We're wrong. Yeah, it happens. And with that, in all of our wrongness, I'd like to thank you for your courage. Say in the morning to you, the man who put the C into circular psychiatry. Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my friend here, the one and only Mr. John C. DeMora. Well, in the morning you, Mr. Adam Curry, also in the morning all ships that see boots on the ground feet in the air. Subs in the water! And all the dames and knights out there. And in the morning, too, the trolls hanging out. Hello, trolls! Trolls! Stop! I'm trying to count the... There we go. Trolls are absent. 1919 today. I mean, I know it's better than the 1800, but...

1:14:43 It's not the 22,000 we had the other day. It was 2200. It was outrageous. Yeah. They've all burned. They jumped in the ocean. So now it's 19-19. But those trolls are in the troll room, which you can find at trollroom.io, where you can log into the troll room. You can also listen to the show live. It is the No Agenda stream 24-7, all talk, no agenda, cool music. Thank you, Darren O'Neill always comes in with the rock and roll pre-show before the show. It's well worth it. Everyone gets warmed up, all jacked up, ready to go. Hey, all trolly. And you can also witness this by getting a modern podcast app at podcastapps.com. Still recommending Podverse as the way to go because they have this fabulous notification system. We send out the bat signal. You get reminded the show is live.

1:15:31 And of course you can import all of your legacy podcast apps. Why would you use anything with less features? Why? Makes no sense. Podcastapps.com. Actually, you're right. It makes no sense. And we use all of the features, all of them, including chapters and transcript. The transcript, I mean, so we have bingit.io, but you can, If you say, you know, hey, the guys, the boys were talking about this just on the last episode, you can go in there, you can search in that episode by transcript. I mean, why wouldn't you want to do that? So you can show people what you're talking about. Back it up. Back it up with your people, with your boys. Back it up. Back it up, boys.

1:16:10 Anyway, you can also follow us at noagendasocial.com, follow John C. Dvorak at noagendasocial.com or Adam at noagendasocial.com. Still always find it amazing how many people use that as our email address. It does work, but it's like, wow, I can tell where you're coming from. And the purge is nigh. Yes, if you're within the sound of my voice and you don't want your account purged, you better log in and use it. Anyone who does not use their account within a year will be purged from the system. And that will make room for new accounts because somehow people just want to have this highly coveted at noagendasocial.com address so that they can be banned from everywhere. So you basically, it's like a degradation of service, but people like it. So I'm not going to argue against that.

1:16:58 Just one of the many value for value services. We are very grateful to Aaroner who runs this for us. That's his massive way of providing value back to the show. Another person who has been providing value to the show for 15 years is VoidZero. 15 years we found out. 15 years. He's been the troll room itself. It's still technically his property. Although, good luck with that. Good luck kicking the trolls out and doing whatever you want. But this is the value that, like Sir Benrose, another guy, big value he provides to the stream. Everybody who's doing stuff on Noah's Gems. We must mention Darren. Darren O'Neill, I mentioned him earlier, but okay, make his head bigger. Sir Daniel. Wolfgang.

1:17:45 Wolfgang O'Neal? Wolfman, the Wolfman. Wolfgang O'Neal. Wolfgang O'Neal. Darren Wolfman! There you go. Wolfgang. You know, boots on the ground reports from, I mean, I got some good ones. Got some really good ones coming up. This is crazy. Some trans Maoist boots on the ground. Big Pharma boots on the ground. Oh man, I should have done that earlier. Actually, let me do this now. Since this is the donation segment and people who skip it will miss this valuable information along with the Powerball number coming up in a bit. This is Boots on the Ground Anonymous. I can offer some insight into the conversation on 1578 about drugs as his brother is a recently reformed heroin addict who lived on the streets for approximately five years in the St. Louis area. Man, five years on horse. Can you believe that? And congratulations, reformed.

1:18:43 He's off it. He lives. Over that time period, he witnessed the available drugs going from straight heroin, which he started using, to heroin being cut with fentanyl, to pretty much everything on the street being fentanyl. And at one point I asked him the question that you posed on the show is, why do drug dealers knowingly push fentanyl when it can pretty much be a death sentence? And this is, I think you and I both agree, like, what drug dealers wouldn't do this? Why do they want to kill their customers? The answer will surprise you. His answer enlightened me to the nature of the problem. I think it speaks directly to what you were saying on the show. He told me that's exactly what the drug dealers wanted. He said as soon as word on the street went out that someone died from a batch that someone was selling, sales would immediately skyrocket.

1:19:38 The users would flock to get the most powerful stuff imaginable even at the risk of death. How about that? It's a sales... Very slightly but not completely counterintuitive. It's a sales technique. It's like the same thing with it you're always like harp on about the cigarettes. Yeah, with the poison in every puff. Oh, give me another one. Hey, you got some gangrene? Oh yeah, I'll trade you for my pack of heart disease. He did say that he told me directly the possibility of fentanyl killing someone would absolutely raise sales for that drug dealer or that coroner. Imagine all the zombies, man, there's some good stuff over here. He did also say that law enforcement often puts stuff into, cuts it up with certain types of compounds such as, he thinks, Trank may have started this way so they can track

1:20:36 whole drug line. Yeah I can see that. Thanks, thanks DEA. Anyway that's your beautiful little special donation. You know I think it's got something to do with the arrogance of the addict. You have to be rather, oh, they killed Joe? Well, that guy's a lightweight. Yeah, pretty much. That's got to be some good stuff. I can handle that. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not Joe. You guys are weenie. Well, I'm not going to be so cavalier because any kind of addiction is horrible. And these are our brothers and sisters who were addicted on the street. So I'd rather see them not be that way. Anyway.

1:21:16 So you can get value for value from your drug dealer or you can just get it from your favorite podcast. There's a transition for you. We like to get time, talent and treasure back and one of the many ways that we get huge value back is from our artists. They upload to noagendaartgenerator.com during the show, during the live show in order to get us something to choose from. that we can then use right after we are done with the show, before we produce it and put it out. Fastest turnaround time in the West, I would say. And they completely failed, completely failed on the last episode. In fact, we had to go to the Evergreens to pick up the No Agenda Red Book, which was an

1:21:58 Evergreen, replacing the Evergreens by Gus Knott, also known as Skifa, Skifa, Skifa, not quite sure how to pronounce it, Skifa, because we just could not find anything appropriate for the show. I mean, looking at what was submitted, A lot of rainbow gay stuff, you know. Butts from Comicstripblogger, you know. We came very close to using Francisco Scaramanga's sea drone. Why did we not use that? There was stuff wrong with it. What was wrong? Why did we not use that? Which one was it? The rubber ducky. I don't know which one it is. The rubber ducky in the boat. Oh no, that's... yeah, I like that one. Why didn't we use it?

1:22:49 You had some complaint about it. I think you said, well, it's AI. That's a start. No, that you said that AI is AI. Let's not do it as AI. You said it. You become the AI police. Well, I didn't mean to. Yeah, well, that's that's what's happened. But you're the one that you have the rule. I don't have the rule. I don't mind. But you're like that ducky, the rubber ducky. Also, the one I end up using for the newsletter is I thought looking back on it, I think it's a nice piece. And it's very atypical. It's a no agenda show from Sir Joho Central Park Refugee Camp. I thought that was a nice piece. We looked at that, but you couldn't even see the word refugee camp. I mean, you know, it's pretty it's pretty. Yeah, it's it's.

1:23:36 But it's good newsletter piece and it's a nice piece. It's very well thought out. I mean these pieces can be used for all kinds. It's like, correct the record, did gay in the air with the rainbow flag, but we're just not gonna do that. We have gay listeners, we have trans listeners, producers I should say. We don't have to go out of our way to insult them. Yeah, we insult them just naturally. Yeah, you know, you got Zelensky on a gay postcard. We don't need to do that. We're not actually homophobic or transphobic. And then cutting the hot dog I think is a bit much. Comic strip blogger. He had a lot of weird things.

1:24:19 You know, no agenda, Tijuana, Donkey Show, Tomorrow Lizzo. I mean, you know, no. I didn't see the Donkey Show one. It's the Marquis. Another correct record. Oh, oh, oh, yeah. You know, although I will say Donkey Show. Comics for a blogger with two butts. I mean, OK, you know, it gives us a laugh when we're looking for something serious. But it just wasn't there, you know? And it was sad. So let me see, people are already uploading new stuff. We'll have to see how that goes. But we appreciate the effort. But we're just going to be honest. We're going to tell you artists when it's good and when it's no good.

1:24:54 So we're returning value for the value you're returning for the value we're providing. Which is how it works. You don't have to pay for the show. You can download, you listen to it whenever you want, as often as you want. You can do anything you want with it pretty much. People used to make CDs and distribute them. Good, still is a business. I'm still finding CDs in my house. I have boxes of these things still hanging around. Run them through your machine so they get transcribed to WMV or MP3. It's all the same. It's all No Agenda show CDs. Oh, oh, oh. Yeah, it's what Ramsey King is. You know, the No Agenda book that we picked off from the Evergreen has disappeared from the site. What do you mean?

1:25:41 No, it's right. What do you mean is disappeared? I can't find it. It was in evergreens Yeah, I'm looking at evergreens now, and it's not on page one. It's not on page two. Well, it's it's But maybe it was moved. Let me see. I mean, but you click on it from our show notes You find it. So maybe it was because of it one that it then got moved to some other spot. I I think it's under accepted art. Okay, so it got moved, so it got removed from Evergreen. Yeah, but none of the other pieces ever disappear from where they were from. Well, once it's been used, it's no longer in Evergreen, now is it? I think it's a good policy. Thank you very much, Gus Knott, Schaefer. Thank you very much. And thank you to Chad F.

1:26:33 Was it Chad F. I think one other person sent me a couple of Redbook links from... Yeah, let me see. Chad F. and MW, whatever. MW has a weird... Who is that? MW. Doesn't even have it. It's anonymous. They're the only ones who sent me a couple of links. Not enough to make a show for a Redbook prediction show. So if anyone still wants to do that, get your links in now. Go to bingit.io and find your favorite Redbook prediction or discussion. And people love this piece of art though. They said, hey, if that was a real book, I'd buy it. Which immediately gave me exit strategy ideas. Yes. Now let's thank the people who are kind enough to give us some treasure, which of course we need to pay the bills. And that comes in the form of our executive and associate executive producers. Kicking off today with Cassandra Fair, I think F-E-H-R, Richmond, Texas.

1:27:33 $1,000 right off the bat. Boom! Insta! But not for her. For my husband's knighthood, he just told me that his two favorite jingles are Rubbleizer Out and Obama's 18. John, do you have any idea what Obama's 18 is? I could not, I could not come up with that. I know, I saw that and I couldn't figure it out either. So I just grabbed another random Obama thing if you don't mind. If you could please add them to the deducing. We got to give you a deducing. You've been deduced. Thank you on behalf of Sir Mopar of Fort Bend County, Texas from Cassandra. What a beautiful wife she is.

1:28:15 India, Tango, Mike, stand by, 33, 33, 33, Robilizer out. Thank you. Brian Watson, Sir Brian Watson in San Martin, California, who's usually shows up in the $50 donations week after week or show after show or month after month. He comes in with a thousand dollars. Boom. And he's yeah. And he says, I tm this donation is for my smoke smoking hot wife, Connie.

1:29:01 Today she turns the big 33. We have a lot of people that always turn 33 on this show. It's kind of peculiar. That's true. All she wanted for her birthday was to sit at the round table on the best podcast in the universe. So that's what she'll get. Nice. She'll need to write in with her official dame name next time. So this is a surprise. Happy birthday! This is a surprise, a big surprise. Well, so we're not going to dame her today until we find out what her dame name will be, but we will give her... But she's on the birthday list. She's on the birthday list and... They always give me a biscuit on my birthday. And a biscuit on your birthday. Happy birthday. Now, Red Pill Rabbit has a silver donation. John has the note. Did we receive some pieces of silver?

1:29:43 Yeah, and this is the problem and I have to go over this. He gave us coinage, but it's nothing like collect, it's not numismatic valuable coinage. What is it? Just a lump of, like an old, like a... Well, let's for example, he gave us five Canadian eight dollar silver coins, which is an ounce and a half of silver. I can already hear you're annoyed by this somehow. Clunky, clunky. And then he gave us 20 20 American produced one ounce silver coins. We have an eagle on one side and pretty much nothing on the back except kind of a blank area and some writing. What is that? What kind of coin is that? So it's 20 ounces and

1:30:29 7 1⁄2 pounds is about 27 1⁄2 pounds, which is about $623 at $23 an ounce plus I'd say a 20% numismatic multiplier, which is typically what you get if you have a not collectible coin, but it's a coin that usually is worth 20% more than the silver value, which brings it to around 700 to 750 bucks. That's by my calculation, crude calculation. But I, you know, if I took him over to a a shop to dump them on the market, I think we'd get about 600 to 650. But he can take credit for 750, that's the way I see it. Oh, that's very kind of you. Now, are you going to take them over to the shop and sell them? Well, here's what I'm thinking. I mean, I can send you your half of the coins, but they're not super collectible. But I'd say you want at least one, and I think we should both keep one of the $8 Canadian silvers because

1:31:30 They're just stupid. If you don't mind. It's a real coin from Canada. They're worth about $42 to $43 a piece. Oh, interesting. And it says $8. And who makes a coin with $8 on it that's worth $43? It's just dumb. That must have a name. There must be a name for that coin. Well, this one is called the $8 silver coin. You can look it up. But this was the one with the silver fox on it. So this is a silver fox. $8 silver Canadian coin. Would you mind just sending me the silver? I like keeping that. You want the silver? Yeah. Is that okay? Do you mind? Okay. I mean, yeah, I think I just like the silver. I think that'd be kind of fun. We'll talk about how to do this specifically. This is pain in the ass to be honest about it. Well, yeah. But when we run into it, okay, we'll figure something out.

1:32:28 Do you like the silver? And it's untarnished. The coins, the Canadian coins are all beat up. They look like hell. But the other coins are kind of cool. So for some reason I'm just learning that the Obama 18 jingle is this one. There's a need for a rescue mission when the world is threatened, the world needs help. And that's the story. That's funny. He meant a team. She sure she heard a team. She heard 18. Oh, wow. That's great. I even I didn't catch that. Well, yes, she said, but she's probably in her 30s or late 20s. She probably never saw the 18. But how old is her husband?

1:33:18 33's birthday, wasn't he the birthday boy? Yes, there you go. Oh no, that's the birthday girl from Bryan Watson. Anyway, I don't know who knows how old. I don't mind having the coins. I like them. I like keeping the coins. Okay, anonymous in Bozeman, Montana is up with 467. Um, hey guys, I signed a fresh new contract now with 15% more compensation, so I figured what better time to send over some treasure and finish off my knighthood. Please dub me Sir Touchy Puss, Sir Touchy Puss, the Knight of the Gallatin County Fairgrounds, which I'm sure he's known by that name there too.

1:33:58 In honor of the prolific drinkers of Western Montana, I'd like to bring breakfast beers. You do that in Denmark too. And pork chop sandwiches. or sandos to the roundtable. Like everyone else, I thank you deeply for the work you do as a man who deeply enjoys being correct and saying, I told you so. The No Agenda Show gives me the tools I need to succeed at being a blast at parties. Salute! The douche of the party, obviously. Thank you brother. Sir Wire 3333, our favorite, New River, Arizona.

Dame Trisha of Detroit comes in and this is our first associate executive producer, 250, and she has a typed note. In the morning, John Adams, been a while so here's another donation towards my husband's knighthood. Funds are finally loosening up after both of our kids got married within a six-month time frame.

1:38:10 Love it when that happens. John, I've got a list of facts going for the show website as promised. I've thought of several and there are a few more from my NA social requests for suggestions. We need to discuss these on the phone. If you've got answers, I can take dictation. Do it today. If not on the phone, via email will also work. Please whitelist either both of my emails. Whitelist them, John. My attempts to email are always bouncing back as blacklisted. Oh, that can't be. I ask you, what did I ever do to deserve that? Joking, of course. Yeah, really? Send him to me. Send him to me, Trish. I see. She's wrote him in here. I'll write it. Just send him to me.

1:38:53 White list them. Seriously, let's take care of this soon. I'm sure folks will appreciate it. Please give a shout out to our kids. Congrats to Jenny and Michael and Patricia and Steven on their marriages. How about a little goat karma and some shut up slaves to top it off? Value for value. Be well Dame Trish of Detroit. You've got karma. Shut up slave! Does Michigan women Want to get things done. Don't mess around bill meanwhile in Greenville, South Carolina two four six dot nine This is my second time working in area code one two three four in area code one two three four five There's an area code or is that a zip code must be zip code must be zip code

1:39:41 in a month so I thought I'd double John's favorite donation number. Please give me a Dr. Kiki jingle. Thanks for what you guys do. Baronet Bill. KD4ACA73. Yeah, 73 is kilo 5, shiara tango, uniform delta. Shut up already! It's science! I think he's K0. Or Kilo Oscar. Did I say K-0? No, you said K-D. I think he's Kilo Dough. No, I said K-O. You said K-D. I did? Yeah, Kilo Oscar, I think. Then we go to Jonathan, Fort Wayne, Indiana. Oh, Fort Wayne, Indiana, man. Those guys are nuts there. 231, 231, 20. That's right, the note is too long. In the morning, John Adam from FEMA Region No. 5. 1580 marks the year when the Book of Concord was published, which is a set of documents known as the Lutheran Confessions.

1:40:32 And he has a little history of that. The first time I ever heard of the existence of No Agenda was from Anne Barnhart's blog post from June 25th. Now before you give me a jingle, it's not actually a Barnhart donation. I didn't start listening to the show that summer. The men responsible for finally hitting me in the mouth are Dan and Dave of the Not Conformed podcast at notconformed.show. Dan is a professor of neuroscience and Dave is a Lutheran pastor. They're brothers in Canada and they cover topics like propaganda, psychedelics, Jungian psychology, and COVID.

1:41:09 I started listening to Not Conformed in the summer of 2021 when they started mentoring No Agenda by name more often. I decided to check you guys out in late summer, realized how similar the format was. Haven't missed more than a couple of your shows since. To top it all off, Not Conformed had a short run of just 33 episodes. Oh, so I guess, did they end, they pod faded? That's too bad. It's hard to do. Take a mod faded. Yeah, they pod faded after 30. Oh, that's a shame. They sounds like they had a good podcast Yeah, you know people don't stick to it. That's the problem. It's hard. It's hard remember there's four, you know Four million podcasts out there, but every 90 days only 400,000 of them produce a new episode Yeah, we do

1:41:54 8, 9 a month, like 2 a week. Of 3 hours minimum each. Anyway, while I'm at it, I recommend the podcast, A Brief History of Power and a word fitly spoken. He's promoting other podcasts. Apologize for my long note. Thank you for your courage. Godspeed, says Jonathan. Thank you, Jonathan. We appreciate that. Baroness Monica in Drayton Valley, Alberta, Canada, where the money used to be. 222.22, happy anniversary John and Mimi. I'd also like to request some much needed health and healing karma for my nephew Lance. Thanks a lot, Baroness Monica. You've got karma.

1:42:36 Scott Niva or Niva in Livonia, Michigan 20811 with a note typed I'd like to thank my buddy Dave T for hitting me in the mouth in 2019 I realize with my family all listening to the show now that I live in a house full of douchebags I would appreciate a de-douching for myself You've been de-douched And would like to call out my wife Michelle. Douchebags! Son Nolan. Douchebags! And especially my daughter Nora. Douchebags! That's douchebags. Can I get on the birthday list? 8-11? Thanks for all you guys do. The show is both informative and entertaining. May never find an exit strategy. Any Biden gaffe jingle will do just fine. The idea is we hold these truths self-evident. That all men and women

1:43:27 We haven't lived up to it completely, but we've always widened the arc of commitment. It's got to be one of my favorites. What a douche. What the hell is he talking about? Who knows? Dame Beth in Tucson, Arizona, 206. Oh, yes, Dame Beth. We know Dame Beth. Hi, all boys. Here's 2X today's high temp. Humbly requesting, by the way, everyone should donate two times their high temperature. Humbly requesting a scotch more rain stick. Our non-soon season needs a swift kick in the clouds.

1:44:04 and calling out all southern Arizona slaves to it's a dry heat meetup on 921 at Canyon's Crown. Thank you for your courage, Dame Beth. All right, let's do the rain stick. We need it here too. So I'm gonna do a double with a swirly twist to get some here because you know this fight... I'm gonna do a one flip. I can't... You have to do two. We need it here. I'll do one return. We need two from you because we didn't get any rain last time. I need you to do it. We're on fire here. Okay? Okay. Here we go. One, two, three. Woo, baby! Let it rain! Let it rain. Yeah. Let it rain. Let it rain. Thank you, Dane Beth. Tony Helfs is in Fort Worth, Texas, 234 and also has a note.

1:45:06 In the morning, John and Adam, nice, nice, very nice stationary with you. Was that a gold embossed thing there around the edge? In the morning, John and Adam, your shows have been terrific lately. This is my annual switcheroo donation for my son Brian Helph's birthday. He turns 34 on the 10th. Can I get some goat karma for him and a noodle gun? It's like gold foil. Oh, okay. That's nice. That's nice. It looks really good. And a noodle gun for my grandson Carter. Producers, if you are in the Yukon, Mustang, or Moore, Oklahoma area and craving some juicy fried chicken, stop into Chicken Express. We would love to serve you. Keep up the good work, guys. God bless. Tony Helfs. Oh, very nice. Thank you. I'm gonna shoot you in the face with my noodle gun, you racist piece of shi-

1:46:02 I got my pasta glock locked and loaded. You've got karma. Did you mention it was a switcheroo for Brian Hell-Helfst? Yes, I read that verbatim. Okay. Uh, Dan Richmond in Gainesville, Florida. I proudly join as an associate executive producer. Two things. One, Does Ricky Racktman stand ready if you were to be unable to fulfill your no agenda duties? Now that's just Dan being a dick. Ha ha ha ha ha. Two. I will donate more if you renounce your use of the term hairband, which marginalizes an otherwise legitimate art form of 80s hard rock music.

1:47:00 Mega dildos, Dan. Allow me to respond to... Yeah, well wait, hold on. This is... Latin to me. I don't know what he's talking about, but apparently you do. Yes, we were talking about Steel Panther and I said that they were basically doing a takeoff on 80s and 90s hair bands. Let me address question one first. Ricky Rackman was given my show, The Headbangers Ball, because he came in and wowed the executives at MTV because his best friend Axl Rose came along to help him do his audition. And so of course the weak weaklings, the star suckers that they were at MTV, whoa, whoa, if Ricky can get to Axelrod, then we need to have him host the show. So it's just hurtful for him to say something like. Oh, so you got booted because of some gimmick? Yes, gimmick, thank you. So to say, you know, will he be standing by to fulfill your NA duties if you're unable, that's kind of mean.

1:48:03 Oh, that is dickish, dickish. Now, two. That's kind of a nerdy dickish. Exactly. Two. Being a participant in the actual 80s and 90s, hard rock and metal, I mean, with the same hair. You're the guy. I am allowed, in fact, I am the ambassador. You have standing, it's called standing. I am the ambassador of the hairband era, which is, I do not use as a derogatory term. I'm very proud of being a part of that.

1:48:39 And I believe that all of my compadres in Bon Jovi, in Poison, in Rat, I'll even put Winger in there. I think every... White Snake! I think they all would say, yeah man, we were hair bands. That does not detract from the outstanding musicianship of the era. Mega dildos to you, Dan. Healing House Counseling! Kingsland Georgia $200 in the morning gents healing house counseling in Georgia. Thanks you for your courage and we say thank you for your courage Michael Johns in Buffalo, New York another $200 and He says gentlemen again. Thank you for your courage. Please wish you

1:49:28 Dame Susan of the Parkways, the best mom in the universe. Happy birthday today, August 10th from Uncle John and all your family and friends. Oh, how nice. They're like, oh man, you know, mom listens to that stupid podcast. Let's let's at least give her a shout out on that. What do you think that they're all listening? Yeah. She is the best mom in the universe though, so they know something. Maybe they're big listeners, the whole household. Could be. Dame Janet Watkinsville, Georgia, a switcheroo. She says, I won the drawing for our donation lottery at the inaugural Suds Insanity Saturday at Oconee. I'm probably mispronouncing that.

1:50:13 And that must have been... Oh, we have a report I think from that Georgia meetup. Brewery rather... Oh, Aucheney Brewery. There we go. Rather than getting associate producer credit, I'd like this donation to be divided between two great guys, Vic Harrison and Joe Stevens. This should remove them from douchebag status and head them on the road to knighthood. Well, that means... You've been de-douched. That's very kind of you. I've made that switcheroo permanent. Here we go. Boom. Thank you guys for all you do to keep us sane. Love ya! Dame Janet, love you too, Dame Janet. Dame Janet, thank you so much. That's very kind what you did there. And at the bottom of the list is Linda Lou Patkin from Lakewood, Colorado.

1:50:56 Jobs Karma for all and for a competitive edge go to image makers Inc.com for all your executive resume and job search needs. That's image makers Inc. with a K dot com or just find Linda Lou Patkin under the show's producer list and run a search. And that wraps up our Executive and Associate Executive Producers for episode 1580. 1580 podcasts done and still running value for value. No advertisements, no creepy corporate money, no checks from the CIA to that guy who called us Zionist traitors. None of that. We wish, we wish they should send us a check. Or the Mossad have not seen any of this. Shekel show up either. Nope.

1:51:45 It's all done by the producers because we have no listeners. We just have producers who bring us time, talent and treasure. And these credits are good wherever credits are recognized. You can use them as such. And if anyone ever questions you, I'll be very happy to vouch for you. Thank you again for producing episode 1580 of the best podcast in the universe. Our formula is this. We go out, we hit people in the mouth. That was a good segment. I liked what everybody had to say. It was good stuff, people. Good stuff. I agree. Good stuff. Well, do you want to do Africa? You know, Africa, do I list? Because I got some kind of funny, I mean, some clarifying Africa stuff. Let's put it that way, because there has been some

1:52:50 There have been some changes, some things have been going on. And actually, I can give you a little background because, you know, the big question is what are we doing in Africa? What are we doing there? Why is everyone so excited about Africa? I got a couple of letters from some of our correspondent boots on the ground types. And it says some conflicting information. The one thing that's kind of interesting to me is that the guy, the new dude that took over Niger. Oh yes, I have some of this on the TV. He's an American trained guy. Well there's two. That's no coincidence. There's two new dudes actually. So we first need to start with, here we go. This is now the junta. What is the official pronunciation of junta? Am I doing right? Junta?

1:53:44 You know, I believe if you look it up you can pronounce it junta or junta. But junta is the way we've always pronounced it traditionally in the United States when we refer to a junta. Well, would the Cambridge Dictionary be the one to ask? I think that Oxford English would be better. junta. Okay. junta. junta. In UK you can say junta? junta. And in the US you can say junta. junta. Yeah, that's got two pronunciations. Yeah, I've always felt it had two pronunciations. Okay. Anyway, let's first talk about or let's listen to some information about the guy who led the junta. And I must give an appropriate warning. Warning, Amy Goodman clip inbound. And in New Jersey, we're joined by Nick Turse, investigative journalist contributing writer for The Intercept recently revealed one of the leaders of the coup in Niger, the Brigadier General Moussa Salou Bahamou, was trained by the U.S. military, recently met with the head of U.S. Army Special Operations Command, Lieutenant General Jonathan Braga.

1:54:49 at the U.S. drone base in Niger. African officers trained by the U.S. military have now taken part in 11 coups in West Africa since 2008. We're going to start there, Nick Turs. If you can explain what's taken place in the last week, and particularly the U.S. connection to the coup leaders. Yes. Thanks so much for having me on, Amy. By the way, this guy is from The Intercept and I think, you know, The Intercept still being a Pierre Omidar, drive my car, don't go too far outfit. I think that he is here on Amy's Democracy Now to express a certain message. Yes. Thanks so much for having me on, Amy. He's also very boring. You know, as you said, the United States has

1:55:41 trained a number of coup leaders in West Africa over recent years. Nice little laugh tale. And this is part of the US security strategy. I mean, they've flooded this region, the West Africans to hell, with a tremendous amount of security assistance, really since 9-11. They poured a tremendous amount of security assistance dollars into the region. They've built a plethora of small US outposts You mentioned one of them, the US drone base at Agadez. you know, they built up militaries in the region at the expense of building up civilian institutions and civil society. And this U.S. security assistance, U.S. counterterrorism paradigm really hasn't been successful over this time. Yes, see, that's what I disagree with. I think he's full of crap. This is exactly what was supposed to happen. We've had people lead, there were even questions in the

1:56:37 in the Senate or the House of Representatives about this. Hey, all the guys that we train, they go on to do coups in these African countries. There's a reason for that, which we'll get to, but let's solidify that there's Western influences in this coup by looking at the new Prime Minister, the junta. has appointed. Nige's military coup leaders have announced the appointment of a prime minister. In a statement read out on national television on Monday evening, Ali Mahamad Lamin Zain was announced as prime minister. The announcement comes at a time when the international community is seeking to restore constitutional order. Lamin Zain is not new to the office or government positions in Nige. He had been cabinet director in 2001,

1:57:25 then finance minister in 2002 to turn around the chaotic economic and financial situation. The latest appointments from the coup leaders also included that of the commander of the presidential guard. It also comes a day after the expiration of ECOWAS' ultimatum to restore President Mohamed Bassem to office. Okay, so they bring in a banker. A banker. Could you figure? He was born in 1965, graduated from the Center for Financial, Economic and Banking Studies in Marseille and Paris. So when you hear Prime Minister, there's not some spear-chucking dude down there. This is an elite. He had worked as a resident representative of the African Development Bank in Chad, Ivory Coast and Gabon.

1:58:15 This is a banker. They've brought in the banker. They're open for business. This is no coincidence what's going on here. But it's okay. Let's pretend, let's do our best and see if we can make it look like we have nothing to do with this. Where is she? Where in the world is Victoria Kagan-Noodleman? of

1:59:08 on conflict. Recall that the US State Department had on Monday confirmed he had made direct contact with the coup leaders and had stressed the need for President Bassem to be reinstated. And this is coming after military leaders seized power in the landlocked West African country on the 26th of July, detaining President Bassem, sparking international reactions.

1:59:47 Okay, so Newland, she might not even have gone. There's no pictures, there's no, you know, tarmac video of her, none of that, which she's usually pretty good at doing that, all of our diplomats are, but okay, so I guess she did go and, oh, it's been very tough and they wouldn't let me talk to anybody. Victoria Newland does not go somewhere not to get a meeting. This is not the type of woman she is, not the type of whatever she is, diplomat. And of course I was well aware of the Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline, the TSGP, although I didn't necessarily think this was a pipeline play until I realized that this pipeline, which is supposed to bring natural gas to Europe, is operated by China. Now we're getting into your territory, John. Now things start to make sense. And right away,

2:00:44 European natural gas prices explode 40% higher. Europe, you're being screwed by America and Russia. We are literally screwing you over. Yes! Because this thing was supposed to start delivering mid this year. I'm not sure exactly where they're at. But, you know, if China was running that thing, oh, well, no doubt, of course we're going to have to stop that. But I found a good minute and a half explainer. I love that term, explainer. from this outfit on YouTube called Business Basics. This just gives you a little bit of a background of why we need to stop China from doing all this stuff in Africa. China has been eyeing Africa for decades now. As growth in China slowed down, the CCP realized that taking over Africa was the solution. That's because Africa is expected to become a powerhouse in the coming decades.

2:01:43 When you think about global superpowers, countries in Africa are the first ones that come to mind. As a superpower, you need to have a huge economy, a powerful military, and a lot of international influence. Not a lot of African countries have these things... yet. But a few decades from now, this is going to be very different. In 2030, 42% of the world's young people will be living in Africa. By 2050, the prediction is that more than a quarter of the entire world's population will be African. Countries like Nigeria, Ethiopia, Egypt or Congo will have one big advantage over the coming years. Their huge populations.

2:02:26 While the rest of the world is struggling with low birth rates and rapid aging, African countries will experience exactly the opposite. Their populations will be extremely young and it will be growing rapidly. Just think about it. Italy only has 1.24 births per woman, while Nigeria's birth rate sits at a whopping 5.31. These demographics will shape the 21st century. You may have guessed this already, but this population growth is creating a huge economic opportunity. In fact, it is so important that today's superpowers are fighting for influence in the continent.

2:03:05 So the way I see it, and by the way Europe you're not alone because the American people are also getting screwed by the bankers and ruling elites, they flipped the script. Instead of Bill Gates going to kill Africans with the vaccines, they're killing us with the vaccines now. So, you know, it's like, it's a lot easier. You go into Africa, you train a guy, a little bit of a coup, no problem. We come in, we kick the Chinese out, maybe we get the Russians to play along and we give the vaccine, the death shots to the Americans. And we make their kids cut off their genitals and we don't need you. We know from the former New York banker, the only way to success is by growing your population.

2:03:46 And so America is still doing that in the United States by having open borders, completely wide open, and Africa, well, I think they're going to let them grow. I think they're stopping the... You know, let all the young Africans, maybe let some of the Africans come to America. Maybe. I think a lot of them already are. There are a lot of Africans coming across the southern border, along with Middle Easterners and everybody in between. So we may have a transition period, but we certainly don't want Americans running the show. We want obedient people.

2:04:24 Obedient workers. I'm channeling my inner George Carlin now for some reason. We want obedient workers, keeping them just healthy enough to push the buttons and fill out the forms. And that may be the whole strategy. They've got bankers in there. They've got the military running well. They also the coups have taken place across the country if you look at the coup map them It's across the ties right it's like forms a belt yeah from from east to west from east to west It's like and Niger was the one that was not in the belt it became the belt buckle ooh

2:05:06 The night the night night knee-jerk belt buckle and so you have this And it cuts off trade from the south to the north you can't get there from here I mean you could ship stuff, but that's inefficient when you like it I like it straight over but now the southern Africa has been divided into two sections that northern and the southern with a belt in the middle yeah, and I don't know what the strategy is to be honest. I'm following what you have to say and I'm trying to... I'm not sure what the whole... I understand all the craziness going on here and the trans movement and the rest and the Maoism everywhere. I still can't put my finger on something. There's something missing. I got a note from a guy who blames the long essay, it's a pretty good one, on

2:05:57 the fact that the Africans want the whole idea is that it's got nothing to do with us. They're trying to kick us out and even though I'm not convinced that it's I don't know I'm not buying it. I still think with the US and Russia being in collusion which is impossible to fathom. Well they're still playing some of the Russian card actually. I do have one report this is from Turkey radio and television. A call for help from an increasingly isolated military junta in Niger. The SOS is to Wagner and it's something experts said was likely soon after the coup took place, especially after Wagner's chief offered backing soon after the presidential guard seized power. He gives them another opportunity to. Oh, this is interesting. So this is a consultant

2:06:46 Her name is Annalise Bernard. She is from the Strategic Stabilization Advisors. which is part of some rinky-dink NGO, which of course is funded by USAID. And she shows up now all of a sudden giving her strategic opinion, but listen carefully to what she says. Soon after the presidential guard seized power. It gives them another opportunity to step in and get paid for their services and make themselves relevant again. Because after what happened a few weeks ago in Russia, obviously there's been a huge question mark about what is the relevance of the Wagner group, who actually controls them and what is their role in participating and or influencing global politics. I think it's pretty clear what this is. This is remarketing the Wagner group. Oh yeah, no, no, no. It was clear the Wagner group, they're there to blame. Don't look at us. Don't look over here. Look over there. Look at the Wagner group. Oh yeah, Pugosian hot dog boy. Yeah, he's in charge of it.

2:07:47 She literally is saying, oh, we're going to, it's just repositioning, rebranding, remarketing. It's going to unfold before us. We're going to know soon enough exactly what the plan is. But I think part of it... Yeah, but our job is to figure it out before it happens. Yeah, it's going to be hard. But I think so too, because it's a big country. It's not a country, it's a continent. But Europe was clearly planning on this natural gas pipeline to be the new the new inflow to replace Nord Stream and that has now effectively been thwarted. So that's cut off right at the belt buckle. And it feels like we're involved. I mean, we're right there. It's our guy doing it. We got another banker in there to be the prime minister. When is Europe going to get a clue? Oh, please. They can't figure out that, hey, they're getting screwed here. Oh my God. Europe is so

2:08:50 screwed. Yeah, well you're gonna be in Europe next week. Yeah, I will be bringing screwed reports. And I want to hear boots on the ground reports from you when you talk to just the general public. So we leave tomorrow and the first show will be from the Netherlands and that will be on Sunday. Actually, do you want to start an hour earlier? You can say no, but I can do it. Wow. That sounded so like I don't want to do it. Well that's different than do I want to. Okay, we'll discuss because otherwise I don't start until 8 p.m. and so it'll be 1 in the morning by the time I get to bed after post-production. Okay, well it might cost you a coin. I have an $8 Canadian silver coin. Will that work?

2:09:42 Did you look it up by the way they coined? No, I haven't. I'm sure that I want to know its nickname. I'm sure it has a great nickname. But I would like to play three quick clips here regarding immigration in the United States since we're talking about it. The sanctuary cities are freaking out. The sanctuary states are freaking out. Well, they're the big talkers, the big blowhards. Yes, they are. I mean, see if I have this. Mayor Adams, man. He's out of control. Did you hear what he was saying? Let me play this one because it's bad in New York, man. Listen to this. Let me put it in perspective for New Yorkers.

2:10:29 For each family seeking asylum through the city's care, we spend an average of $383 per night to provide shelter, food, medical care, and social services. With more than 57,300 individuals currently in our care, on an average night, it amounts to $9.8 million a day. Almost $300 million a month and nearly $3.6 billion a year. But this is the floor, not the ceiling. This is only an estimate if the number of migrants in our care stays the same over time. It is clear to us, however, that without policy changes, the number of migrants arriving will continue to grow. This will increase our costs.

2:11:29 If we continue down this unsustainable track with an average of almost 34,000 households a night over the course of just this fiscal year, that will increase costs to $4.7 billion. Hear me, if things do not change, Our new estimates have us spending nearly $5 billion on this crisis in the current fiscal year. That's up from the $1.4 billion we spent last fiscal year. And it nearly equals the budgets of sanitation department, our parks department, and the FDNY combined.

2:12:17 And you know, this is a sanctuary city. They had a really big mouth when it was time for elections. Like, oh yeah, we're woke, we're all in. And I'm going to give Governor Abbott props. He said, you know what, why don't you see what that's like? Because is Texas supposed to swallow all of these people? We have people sleeping in the airports in El Paso. There's buses going right through Fredericksburg, luckily on their way to Kerrville. But Kerrville is only 30 minutes away. Now this is a disaster and now finally people are starting to figure it out but it's these leaders like Mara Healy, the governor of Massachusetts. This is a year ago when she was running for governor and she played, oh I'm gonna be the first lesbian woman to be governor. Well here's what she had to say at the time. It's really important that cities and towns have the ability, have the capacity to thrive in

2:13:17 I think cities and towns are in the position to be able to do that. I've seen it done as a value statement, as a statement of principles. That's right. I support that. Yeah, I support it. Yes, sanctuary cities is great. We can be that. We're a sanctuary state. Vote for me! Sometime later... As of today, close to 5,600 families with children are living in state-funded shelters, hotels, dorms, and other emergency facilities across Massachusetts.

2:13:55 That figure is 80% higher than it was just one year ago. And it's unsustainable. For this reason, today I am declaring a state of emergency in Massachusetts. There you go. Know very well, people of the heat dome cities. that you are being robbed. You are being robbed. And luckily there's one alder woman in Chicago who has figured it out. And she's asking some annoying questions. Is every migrant really getting $7,000 worth of care every month? At least $120 million tax dollars. Heads need to roll. Alder woman Jeanette Taylor

2:14:39 recently tried to get spending details from the people in charge of migrant operations. I saw nothing in the presentation about how much money we're spending. That slide, I guess, got lost. For six months, CBS 2 has been trying to get a breakdown of what money is going where, what businesses and what organizations are being paid. We've spent half a year fighting City Hall for migrant spending records because taxpayers deserve to know. In February, we filed this Freedom of Information Act request, a FOIA, which requires the city to turn over public records. About a month later, we got a response. We showed Alderwoman Taylor our back and forth with an Office of Budget and Management official who asked for time to cobble together expenses.

2:15:25 They said they don't have those records available yet. No records on more than a hundred million dollars spent? MSBS. Y'all know some of that is some shady dealings. That's what that is. Somebody lying. Somebody lying. That's right. The money's being stolen. It's the same with the drug dealers on the street. Your money is being stolen. All these organizations that, you know, oh, we'll help the homeless. No, I don't know. They're giving a methadone, which they never get off of. All of this has been captured. Yeah. Wouldn't you say? Absolutely. Just money. They're just stealing money. They are stealing money. If you can't get the records and that woman's right.

2:16:13 You know, they put the request and they, well, OK, we spent 100 million, but we don't have any records of anything. OK, sure. That's like somebody's lying. It's like the Pentagon. You know, you someone sent us this. I'm not going to play it. This clip of Faraj, Nigel Farage talking about, you know, he was a bank. He was debanked. And I thought on the back and forth, you said that the one million debanked was a sketchy number. Yeah, I saw that clip. Yeah, I'm not going to play it, but this turns out to be true. NatWest in the UK is debanking by their own admission about a thousand accounts a day. And people are being debanked for all kinds of reasons. But also NatWest is now

2:17:04 telling businesses to stop accepting cash. They won't even let businesses deposit cash into the bank over a certain limit. See, it's like some crazy amount. This is always about NatWest. A thousand a day is 300,000 a year, which means it has to have been going on for three years. I don't think it has. Four years. No, the article in the Telegraph says four. Okay, four years is 1.2 million. If they had that many accounts to begin with. There's something very sketchy about Farage, Nat West, and this whole complaining. I have not seen any breakdown of it. Well, Nat West, well, the Telegraph has done quite a good job of this.

2:17:46 They actually have done quite some investigation. Not the only bank in the world. No, but NatWest does own a lot of banks in the UK. And Farage's bank was owned by NatWest. Maybe NatWest is in trouble. That's very possible. I'm not sure, but it seems like there's a real push in the UK to screw and penalize people with cash. Even, and we'll see this I'm sure, with parking. Paying to park used to be simple. The only challenge was having the right change. But in the South London borough of Sutton, putting money in a machine now comes with a surcharge. An hour's parking in Wallington costs £2 if drivers use an app, but £3 if they pay at the machine. I don't have a phone that has an app on it anyway. It's unfair but I'm desperate so I need it. I need to pay. When you're old.

2:18:35 You know, you don't know what apps are and all that. Do you ever think about paying with cash? I used to, I know very often now. My wife's asked me to set it up when she goes out in the car, so no, we generally use the app all the time. Councils in London began charging for parking in 1958 when the first meters appeared. This is primarily to relieve congestion and to share out fairly the limited curb space in central London. 65 years on, the parking meter has given way to smart parking, with most councils relying on apps like Ringo. Ringo! Ringo. Yeah, so instead of two pounds, three pounds if you want to pay with cash. This is not okay.

2:19:24 There's definitely something happening. There's a lawsuit waiting to happen. Let's see what happens. And... Just speaking of banks. Meanwhile on Wall Street, stock futures were lower overnight after the credit agency Moody's downgraded 10 regional banks. Among those taking a hit was M&T Bank, the nation's 19th largest. One concern is higher interest rates, which force banks to pay customers more money to their savings. The downgrades come just months after the downfall of Silicon Valley and signature banks. Moody's says it will also review the financial health of six large banks, including Bank of New York Mellon and U.S. Bancorp.

2:19:59 Hey, I had not heard the most recent DHM plug. You guys talk about this at all? About the bank downgrade? Yeah, we talked about it. Well, what is going on? You have to listen to the show. This can't be healthy. This can't be good. This can't be good. No, but it's something of a... because of the downgrade of the US debt by Fitch. Yeah. It's a cascade effect. Everyone's going to be downgrading everything they can to get into it. And it's also mentioned, and Horowitz reminded me, that these credit rating agencies are always, they're in at the end. When all hell's broken loose and things are over, then they come in with their downgrade

2:20:42 After the death in other words is the peak well, don't you don't don't you don't downgrade? Don't you think help people they made the mistake of giving all the a you know all the stellar ratings before the 2008 2009 But all those goal is bad that bad paper. That was all over the place was given triple-a until it crashed and But maybe they've learned their lesson and now they're doing now ahead of time. No, nobody assumes this. I do. They're in their lesson. I'm I. Oh, wow. There's a good Wall Street's learned his lesson. No, no. Well, they don't learn their lesson. Listen to this. Well,

2:21:22 We're in trouble credit card debt in America has reached a new high a report released by the Federal Reserve yesterday Shows credit card debt has now passed the 1 trillion dollar mark and it's a and a significant chunk of that debt was accrued this summer The Fed says about 45 billion dollars of credit card debt was a rapid backed up between the months of April and June. So for more on this, let's bring in Jennifer Streaks. She's the senior personal finance reporter for Insider. Jennifer, good to see you. I think what she was saying there is that $45 billion was written off. The banks wrote that off. But there's still a trillion, a trillion of credit card debt which spiked this summer. This is not going in the right direction.

2:22:06 This is not okay. So first off, my question is why? Is this just because we've been dealing with inflation and so everything's costing more? And why a spike this summer? Yeah, I mean everything is just overall more expensive. Groceries, gas, just the cost of living in general. And so there are many households that are using credit cards to bridge the gap. they're using it as an extension of their income. And in terms of this summer, we're seeing higher levels of travel. There's just more to do around the summertime. Also right now, for instance, it's back to school, it's off to college. And so if you're a household that is under financial strain, you're using credit to make things happen for your family this summer.

2:22:53 Man, the prices are off the hook. Now I'm going to Europe where the euro is like it's 10% more. This is yeah, it's 10% more right now. How does that even happen? Why is Europe? Why is the euro 10% higher than the dollar? The euro is never. I don't understand why not at parity or less, but it's all, but it is. It's been higher. It's been up to 25% more. If you remember, I certainly do. Wow. This is just not as not good. And the pound is, is, is it's reasonable. Yeah. Well, no, but it was really reasonable when they had that, uh,

2:23:32 that that pension thing going on, it was down to one 13 or something. Now it's back up. I'm not going to the UK. I'll play this last bit of this CBS report. Apparently delinquency rates are also pretty high and that people are waiting sort of beyond the 30 days to pay down their debt. What does that say? That people are struggling, that the strength is getting to be too much. They're not paying their bills on time. We are seeing delinquencies up. especially with credit card and auto loan payments. So people just, they just aren't making their payments on time, but they're still using credit. And so that means that they're getting in debt in other ways, buy now pay later, opening up newer credit accounts, not taking care of the old credit card debt. Yeah. God knows every time you buy something online, there's always that option to pay for it in installments now, no matter how cheap the item is. And that can definitely get you into trouble.

2:24:30 At this point I would like to point out something very important. That the only thing that has not increased during this inflationary period, which should have been transitory, is the price of an executive producership, an associate executive producership, or a knight or damehood. That has not increased, that has remained the same. Your no agenda show is bucking the trend. Yeah, and we've actually talked about this. And we're not changing anything. Are we? Nope, we're going down with the whole economy. And that will include a bunch of well-wishers. Yeah, quite a few. For the 8888 anniversary. Yes. Which I really appreciate and Mimi does too.

I think that's the one we should go with. Indeed. Well, I feel like we've left a lot of... Oh, you know what? I do have a very important clip. One of our producers has really taken to... I think his name is Toldar. He's really doing the C-Span beat. Now, let's be honest, it's hard. I mean, that Colin show...

2:48:49 You really have to watch it to get the good stuff. It's time-consuming. Yeah, I mean C-SPAN is great for hearings and you know you want to see what the... And even... and that's time-consuming. And I do a lot of that. I have it on all the time in the background. But the morning show, the Washington Journal, where people come in, if you really want to catch the good stuff, you got to watch it. So I'm appreciative of this clip. Thank you, Eric. Let's hear from Pete. Pete is on our independent line from Alabama. Hello. Hey, how are you doing today? I thank you for letting me in on your Communist Socialist Party anti-national station. And I would like my question is, I just wonder how many dogs Obama has ate since he's been out of office.

2:49:34 Okay, we're gonna go to Frank. I love it when they get through. Well, they let him talk. They let him finish the sentence. Good, that was good. I mean, come on, that was a pretty good... And then they cut him off. They cut him off after they finished his sentence because they know that's good material. This is good broadcasting. This is what keeps people watching, of course. Yeah. How many dogs? Where's that from? How many dogs Obama ate since he left the White House? Dogs. It's racist. It's just a racist thing. And it's bad. What's racist about it? What do black people eat dogs? I never heard this. I'm just telling you what anyone who is woke listening to this podcast will say. We're just racist. Racist. I didn't say racist. I said racist.

2:50:22 It's different. Racist. Racist. Yes, exactly. Well, I got a couple of ticked. I got a talker that you might want to hear. Oh, my goodness. You don't stop. You don't stop. Talk. All right. This is how does this does this fall under our under our current the

2:51:02 But no, this is the trans hate girl. Lord, help us. Listen to this. There's so much trans hate in the world right now and I'm so done with it. And pride just means that we are unabashedly happy just to be alive. And where do you personally feel that that hate is coming from? Most places, but especially the government. And in your own life, where would you say that you feel the hate the most? I feel like I kind of internalize a lot of the hate so it feels like it mostly comes from myself at this point.

2:51:49 Climate change worriers are all climate change nuts and she's a trans hating herself. I mean these people are internalizing these issues and having problems and they wonder why. Before you go to your next clip... No, I don't need to play the next one. This one was good. Boots on the ground from the psych nurse. Our psych nurse is back. She's in California. She's anonymous, but she is in the Southern California Psych Ward. And after hearing you guys wonder why there are more female to male trans, be it adult or kids, I think I have an answer. This is important information.

2:52:27 Many of my bio female patients, which means biological, who are trans or identify as non-binary or anything other than female, all day they don't want kids when they grow up because they are either grossed out or scared of the idea of pregnancy. One kid last week says she finds it gross that another human grows inside you like a parasite. These kids are not being taught proper or basic sex education, that girls grow up to be women and boys grow up to become men. Instead they are confused with trans education all throughout elementary school, with 20-something year old teachers with blue hair who themselves are disgusted or scared of pregnancy and birth and see it as a burden to live a life to take care of a child.

2:53:13 The teacher promotes this lifestyle to an impressionable elementary kid who feels like they don't fit in. Just my observations working with psychiatric patients who are trans LGBT, who are at my hospital for suicidal thoughts or actual attempts since the pandemic started. Since the pandemic started. Oh, and not a single one has come in for being suicidal because of a failed transition or regret. At least not so far. So I shot our psych nurse a note back and said, well, why are they suicidal and depressed? Answer.

2:53:51 I think they more so feel like they don't know what to do because of all the adult guidance. Internet personalities and mainstream give brownie points to them for their trans journey. When these kids really have much bigger issues than that, and we've talked about this, they have issues and they're just like, oh you're a boy. I think they're afraid to admit it and they double down on the trans narrative. They think that they have to follow in order to not disappoint someone. Well, that does lead to that clip that I was gonna skip, which is a non-binary, looks like a female I guess, I can't tell, professor.

2:54:35 Classes start today and one of my students emailed me yesterday saying, hey this is my name and these are my pronouns. Please respect me. So I decided let's look as visibly gender non-conforming as possible. Including my little, can I get it? They them and it says I'm a fun guy. My classroom is a safe space. So let me finish what our psych nurse says. Often they can be heard telling stories to one another of what they did for the trans community and whatnot, like standing up to an adult that used the wrong pronouns. Nails it! Right there, nails it! These poor children. And they have been convinced of this illness

2:55:37 It's been convinced of this self-righteousness. The pronoun thing is self-righteous. Yeah, yeah it is. Yay. Okay, well that's not at all depressing. That's the way we end the show! Yeah, let me see. Well, how about the FBI shooting the Trump supporter? That's my favorite story of the day. You know, I love this and I love that you went through this and then I will have... I do have one more clip I want to share, but I love that you, because you split this up because this was a like a three and a half minute report. And I know exactly why you, why you, why you split this up because it's worth it. I see whenever I go into the studio in the morning, I get your clips first. I don't listen to them. I just look at the titles. I'm like, Oh, he's already got it because this was an amazing segment on MSNBC. Well, this pick, I picked this one off of Katie Turr.

2:56:39 who brought NBC on her special little streaming show and she brought some guy in who's reporting on this and there is no answer. They will not tell anybody. This is like, remember when those brothers in Boston, they went and visited a friend of theirs and shot the guy? Yes, the Czarneff? Yeah, whatever their names were. Hold on. Before we play these clips, may I take us back to June 19th, episode 1565? Yeah. Did you catch the six-week cycle? I can't say that I have. A reminder for everybody. And I'm not on the lookout, which is an interesting point now that you mention it. Well, we haven't seen it for a while. The six, well, it's been a perpetual cycle basically, but the six-week cycle is something that we were read in on. The FBI in particular likes to jack somebody up. We weren't technically read in on it. We were

2:57:36 informed by a producer. Yes, informed that in order to keep their budgets and their stature and you know their quotas up the FBI every six weeks needs to have some... Runs a scam. Runs a scam, has to have some event happen so they still look like they're cool and doing stuff and they usually take some you know mildly retarded person Or someone who's on drugs and you know just and jack them all up and then give them some phony baloney stuff And then you know and of course with social media it got even easier. Hey man post this yeah What are you gonna? Do what are you gonna? Do come on post me send me a text message put it on in stuff in court filings the FBI saying social media accounts tied to a Michigan man posted Nazi imagery and sent messages about planning a mass shooting at a synagogue Here we are

2:58:30 Pretty much exactly six weeks later. And I'm wondering whether this guy even exists because the story is very sketchy. The FBI has killed a man in Utah. Officials say Craig D. Robertson was making violent threats toward President Biden timed to his visit to Utah, which is expected later today, along with threats to D.A. Alvin Bragg. Joining me now is NBC News investigative correspondent Tom Winter. The FBI doesn't kill people just for saying things. What happened? Right, so they had been conducting an investigation since March where according to charging documents in the search warrant affidavit which we've received, our colleague Andy Blankstein, they started an investigation in March of this year. The FBI received a tip-off from a social media company and it doesn't say which one and we're in the process of trying to confirm a social media company saying, hey, this person, Craig D. Robertson of Provo, Utah,

2:59:25 is saying some things that you might want to look into. And the FBI began an investigation based on a number of posts that directly referenced President Joe Biden, Vice President Harris, as well as Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who's obviously one of the people who's brought an indictment against former President Trump. So Trump has to be brought in because it's got something to do with him. And so we go with those. So she's going to now ask him and then the last clip is going to be the same thing. She's going to ask him about the circumstances of the shooting. In the course of their investigation, they said that they went up to him, they surveilled him, that he confirmed to them that he was who he was, that these were his posts. At some point, according to the charging documents, he says, hey, FBI, if you're still monitoring my posts, know that I've got a gun by my side in case you ever want to come by again. He made a direct

3:00:17 threat against President Joe Biden on Monday. Later this afternoon, the president travels to Utah, so obviously there's some concern there. The threat against Alvin Bragg was particularly graphic and specific. It did state that he wanted to kill him. He posted photos with guns. He posted photos with the FBI calls a sniper rifle. When they observed him, they said that he was wearing a white some sort of a white shirt, a darker suit. He had some sort of a camouflage hat on him that said the word Trump on the top of it, as well as an AR-15 pin. As a matter of course, Katie, the FBI's inspection division, which reviews any FBI-involved shooting, will take a look at this.

3:01:02 in these court documents were still going through, but the bottom line here is this individual made a number of threatening comments and particularly violent comments against these people. And just go back to what happened when they confronted him and what led to the actual shooting. Right, so there were two incidents. Back in March, they confronted him, as they typically do, and usually the FBI tries to talk to you and say, hey, are you the one making these threats? Do you really want to make these type of threats and try to have some sort of an interaction that doesn't end the way that it is. Maybe not a good idea. And apparently he confirmed the accounts. He said, look, this particular post you're referring to, I said it was a dream where I dreamed of carrying out these violent acts, but it's a dream, he says.

3:01:43 according to the charging documents, he said next time you come back here you better have a warrant and he ended the communication after that point that was according to the search warrant affidavit. So that's when they observed him, they conducted some surveillance, wanted to understand who he was and at that point obviously this investigation continued forward. But how did it lead to a shootout? How did they? Yes, thank you Katie Church, she's not been read in. I think you're right, guy doesn't exist, didn't happen. Didn't happen. So she asks one more time, which you just heard and here's how it ends So this morning they were attempting to execute an arrest warrant against him They were gonna take him into custody on three counts violation of making interstate threats effectively Influencing impeding or retaliating against federal law enforcement officers and then specifically a threats against the president United States those three counts they were trying to arrest him on this morning as well as conduct a search of

3:02:38 And because they were trying to conduct a search, that's why we have so much detail about his posts. It's included in the search warrant affidavit. Tom Winter, Tom, thank you very much. I love how she just she asked him three times. He gives no answer. She finally says, OK, what were the circumstances of the shooting? Well, we have so much detail about the search warrant, but OK, thanks. Come on. That's great. That's just great. I think it's a six week cycle. Bullcrap story. Well, you know, we yeah, you have to be right on that because it's six weeks the dates if we looked at the dates Yeah, they're just not well done anymore ever since we lost a terrorist angle. These are bad bad scenarios Don't make any sense. This guy was babbling The guy's in a dream. He said it was in a dream that he said it wasn't and he had a gun he says bring a warrant and

3:03:34 It's just that there's no solidity to the story, it doesn't have any foundational believability. Well you know the CIA is getting all the action. They've got Ukraine, they're doing their stuff in Africa. FBI's pissed! Like we want some ink! Money! Money! And then finally today a no agenda public service announcement. Beware! Apple AirPods appear to be exploding in people's ears. Have you heard of this? No, but it doesn't surprise me. Something's going on. The tiny pieces of these Apple AirPods fit into Jason Cologne's hand. The left is intact, the right blown apart and charred. I know. It was the craziest thing I've ever went through. Cologne of Tampa was listening to a dance mix at the LA Fitness on 4th Street in St. Petersburg when he noticed something strange.

3:04:25 and then I saw white smoke starting billowing out. He left the AirPods on a piece of workout equipment and got help. When he returned... It already popped. I mean, I didn't, you know, see it happen, but I mean, it was already dried. There's a lot of these reports that I'm seeing online, a lot of people showing their earpods just blown apart. It's lithium! This is a dangerous product. This is exactly right! People, I, oh man, but this is bad for Apple because there's people whose ears are shot. That's a lawsuit waiting to happen. They're going to have to pull those off the market. And we successfully got through more than three hours didn't talk about the Trump indictment or the Biden crime family once.
