Adam: Normal take a look around and bash nothing's normal. Adam Curry,
Unknown: John Dvorak February
Adam: 25 2021 this your award winning gitmo-nation Media assassination Episode 1324 is
Unknown: no agenda fanning
Adam: the flames and broadcasting live from opportunity zone 33 here in Austin, Texas capital of the drone Star State in the morning everybody.
John: I'm Adam Curry and I'm from Northern Silicon Valley where I see a lot of cold cars lined up along the tracks all amped up John Dvorak
Adam: Don't you know we don't need coal anymore so over baby Nicole we got wind and solar back in Texas everything's back online john was if nothing
happened.
Unknown: Everything weather
Adam: everything else that mean we had 80 degrees the other day. It's just crazy. Make sense? Yeah. Yeah, yes. Everything's just kind of back to
normal. I so loved how everything just went out the window though, with all the COVID stuff. And it's not really coming back except for the masks. You
know, social distancing is a little different now. I think once Texans got a taste of some real danger there was a reset.
John: That could be that hasn't happened anyplace else. Yeah, well, Florida has always been wide open so that doesn't make any difference there. I
guess South Dakota North Dakota
Adam: well it's the machine is still incredibly strong. The the mainstream media machine is pushing pushing pushing and it's kind of a I don't want to
make light of it the 500,000 people dead but man did that did was this taken to a next level or what? With the with the vigil and the crying and just
everywhere.
John: So I don't know we don't have any visuals are crying here in California.
Adam: I don't want I don't want to make light of people dying. But you know, we've had no veto every year What is it? 2.3 million Americans died. And
we had like died and we had no deaths from flu. So no,
John: no went from like 400,000 to 400. Less than less than that.
Adam: So here's a couple of M five m reports as the bells were totaling for the half a million day.
Unknown: In the meantime, the National Cathedral rang its bells for nearly one hour Monday, marking 500,000 us deaths from COVID. Bells ran once for
every 1000 deaths for every death would have taken 28 days.
Adam: I think they should have done that they should have just done 500,000 bell tolls and just kept it going 28
John: Biden's watch what's he doing about it?
Unknown: President by the First Lady leaving a moment of silence before the President addressed the nation draw on his own experience with grief
John: The day will come not again for the
Unknown: memory of the loved one you lost and bring a smile to your lips before a tear to your eye. And for me the way through sorrow and grief is to
find purpose
Adam: you know they really play up that dead family angle on on the president. It's it's makes him relatable, but he keeps bringing it back. It's
always like I know what it's like. I know is horrible. The empty chair at the table and let's see seems to be the only thing he's he can really be
relatable about.
Unknown: relatable guy.
Adam: Well, let's, let's continue with this 500,000 dead with Meet the Press Chuck Todd with hair Fauci, Dr. Fauci Welcome back to meet the press.
Here the songbird somber, somber tone already, before I get into some of the specifics, I just want to give you a chance to take a step back half a
death toll of half a million. We're basically at the one year mark of this pandemic. And if you think about it, and compare it to what this nation
faced in 1918, and we have modern medicine today, just how deadly in the big picture has this pandemic been in this country? This is a very easy
question to answer. Big Picture. Yeah, it kind of replaced some things you know, we may have a little bump. What do you think the total extra death
rate is john? Is there anything? I mean, that must be some
John: well, Dave, I don't know how they play this. I mean, if I was running the newsroom, I would be playing these those clips from those guys up in
Canada showing that whole these numbers are bogus.
Adam: You short off career and I knew that he would not be running that
John: it's stunning. Chuck horrible. I mean, if you look at what's what's has gone on now, and we're still not out of it, a half a million deaths.
It's just it's, it's terrible. It is historic. We haven't seen anything even close to this for well over 100 years since the 1918 pandemic, of
influenza. It's something that is stunning when you look at the numbers, almost unbelievable, but it's true. It is a devastating pandemic. And it's
historic people will be talking about this decades and decades and decades from now.
Adam: Yes, because you are writing the history. You are telling us what happened here and I think it's pretty disingenuous. But this was all just a
little bit of messing around in the margins if you really want to do it. You do it right. Like Briana Keeler. Over there on CNN. She knows she knows
how to deal with 500,000 death deaths when you're
John: Wait, wait, let me guess how she does it. She blames it on Biden.
Adam: No, no, no, no, no, it's time for the waterworks baby.
Unknown: Even as a nation, where many have become numb? This astronomical loss, I know that these stories of our fellow Americans puncture that armor
that is natural to have accumulated over the past year and that's okay. We need to remember the people that we have lost, even if we didn't know them
personally. I know it is hard to hear it from so many of you. I know you're tired. I know you're tapped out. It has been more than a year since the
first reported Coronavirus case. quarantining the hoping that this would subside only to realize that it wouldn't anytime soon, the struggling to make
ends meet. The worrying that if this is the day you might spike a fever or start to cough. The juggling your job while you're homeschooling your kids.
Being afraid to see your grandparents being afraid to see your grandkids knowing that there's a vaccine that you or your loved ones can't yet get
struggling with mental health. And for almost 500,000 Americans this past year, losing their lives. This is a collective loss. We're taking this
moment to acknowledge that you are not alone. And if you are lucky enough to still have a little fuel in your tank today. It is a good day to remind
someone in your life that you were there for them. And
john,
Adam: just want to remind you I'm here for you. Yeah. Thanks. I'm still here for you. Yeah, I bet you are. He's got to believe in this. She's not an
actress. That's not a performance. That was that was real. She was very sad. Very well
John: get her off the air then.
Adam: No, this is this is the ratings baby. This is how it goes what we want. Meanwhile, the real story is in other dead people. Meet Ken Mackenzie,
we actually have to give a reservation code to a family
John: just so that they could be seen when people call him he says they usually want to interview him to decide if they want to use the services. But
now that first question is are you taking cases to panic and their voice is just so sad. McKenzie runs his own funeral home here in Long Beach,
California. He is busier now than at any other point that
Adam: a year ago, people were complaining about
Unknown: not finding toilet paper this time of year were concerned because we're running out of granite for headstones. The nearly 500,000 people who
have died with COVID-19 three members of the wrangell family who McKinzie cremated in
a span of 16 days, all three of them pass through COVID Luis
John: Jerry and Alma wrangle,
Unknown: my sister was alone, we had to watch her on an iPad, take her last breath, I had to ask a doctor that I didn't
know to hold her hand. For me.
It was the Wrangel family walking into his funeral home with back to back deaths that just broke him.
Adam: I have never broke down. I'm supposed to be that professional.
Unknown: And it was yet another
Adam: death with the same family. And I sat there and cried with them. It was non stop this type of reporting. Just like collectively roll out the
guest stuff boys.
John: I think they're trying to milk this a little bit more than they should. Well,
Adam: I you know, I don't know. I mean, we still have all these different factions and the different teams at play. So I'm not quite sure, you know,
is who is I think the idea was that the President will go out, you know, we'll do our vigil. Everyone will participate. We'll all cry. We'll take all
the bells and That will be then we can put that behind us but I just don't see the the media doing that and that just not stopping it. They continue
to, to push their I think I mentioned this in the newsletter.
John: I think they're freaked out that they were they're going to windell down to no income is they have to do this fear porn. Yeah. I mean they're
doing it on ABC. I do have a series of clips when you're ready.
Adam: Now. Go ahead. Go ahead. I've I don't have anything really specific. I have a lot of different things.
John: But if most of the stuff I got was International, but I did get these these clips about the there's a number of screwball things. But let's,
let's play these vaccine clips. This is
Adam: first Okay, vaccines. All right. We
John: can do this is decode that this is the COVID yak, yak, yak,
Unknown: yak yak vaccine one. And this I'm gonna play these three clips and one of them I want to ask you some questions about before it. Before we go
to it. These are short. This is the part one of the series The new 62 page report from the FDA out today saying the one shot vaccine is safe and
effective. emergency use authorization could now come within days. Those welcome numbers tonight the vaccine is 86% effective at preventing severe
illness here in the US is 100% effective at preventing hospitalizations and deaths. And at least 70% effective against asymptomatic spread when you
have no symptoms when you don't even know you have it. If we can hope that we can reduce transmission. All of this comes after Pfizer said just
yesterday that it will meet that deadline by the end of July 300 million doses and modernas saying 300 million doses by the end of July to that would
be enough for all Americans. And all of that was without the news from Johnson and Johnson tonight. So this evening, what does this all mean for the
timeline? Could vaccinations happen sooner, even if it's just weeks sooner, and we're tracking more female vaccination sites opening just today this
one in Queens, New York aiming to administer 3000 shots a day, this one in Houston tonight hoping for 6000 shots a day. So this evening, what you need
to know about this new one shot vaccine and how soon could we see it? Dr. Shah standing by maybe he's even pilgrim leading us off.
John: Alright, now we're gonna have a couple of years notice a couple of things. David murer. There he he hinted about things like what do we need to
know what's the difference between this new vaccine and on and on? Okay, let's play part two.
Unknown: Tonight, just days away from potential emergency use authorization, the US is now likely on the verge of a third vaccine. And this time, a
single dose. And the news is promising new analysis today finding the Johnson and Johnson one dose vaccine safe and effective 86% effective for
preventing severe illness in the US alone and 100% effective in preventing hospitalizations or deaths. Another key finding the report saying the
single dose vaccine.
John: Really Yeah. You'll notice that they all she does is reiterate what David Muir said,
Adam: Oh, I have noticed this in general. And you'll hear it a couple more times in the clips. The way the reporting goes is that the President said
it would take five years to accomplish this and they go to clip it'll take five years to accomplish this. And they go
John: right. They don't go to Well, this is worse because this is not going they're going to the clip and the guy saying what you said is just proof.
Yeah, but this is different. There's no proof here. You have one reporter saying 86% effective. And they says that and what do you have to say about
this? 86% effective another reporter reporting the same fact and
Adam: a new a new number though. 100% effective at stopping hospitalizations and death? Seriously? Yeah.
John: Oh, that's interesting. David Muir said the same thing. And then she said it again. And they say it again. In a later clip. Yeah.
Adam: But they're reporting their reporting on the previous report. That's how you do it.
John: The report you're already reading from the same memo. He has this 100% thing is a bit questionable if he asked me to be careful with that
advertisement
Adam: is what I'd say. Hey, you said 100% I'm suing you know you called a neighbor's dog. Right now it was the report your correct bite, let's listen
to the whole thing. Then.
Unknown: Pending severe illness in the US alone, and 100% effective in preventing hospitalizations or death. Another key finding the report saying the
single dose vaccine they also prevent some asymptomatic disease when you don't even know you have it, which means it could help reduce the spread of
the virus.
preliminary analysis suggests that the vaccine provides a 74% protection against asymptomatic disease, which is important because if you can prevent
asymptomatic disease, then you will also reduce transmission.
The FDA saying the vaccine had the expected side effects like fever And fatigue, but no reports of severe allergic reactions.
Overall, the vaccine provides very robust protection throughout the world, including against the worrisome viral variants.
So what does this mean for the vaccine supply in the US, Johnson and Johnson says it could have three to 4 million doses sent out next week, it could
have 100 million doses by the summer Pfizer, and Madonna already promised enough doses for all Americans by the end of July. So this newest vaccine
could simply add to that supply, the US could actually have a surplus enough for 400 million people by mid summer,
the prospect
John: of a potential third approved vaccine is very encouraging.
Adam: This is the the monkey vaccine, right?
John: Well, is it a deal virus vac is a style of vaccine that is I don't know if it comes from the monkey, as we
Adam: all know, I believe I saw the documentary I've been
John: looking into that it's you know, it's a totally alien kind of thing. Which brings us to the point where David Muir is now going to introduce
another doctor, a doctor. And he's going to ask the questions that everybody is asking, everybody is asking these questions. And he's good, this
doctor is going to clear things up. What would be like the questions you'd ask when they say, well, there's the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. What
would you ask what was it? What would be a typical question you want answered?
Adam: Well, in general, at this point in the in our trajectory, if I was an ABC type of person really cared,
John: I know you're all Europe, you're a person out there that wants to know stuff. Oh,
Adam: does it work?
John: Well actually said it works. Okay, well, how about this for a question, does
Adam: it does it create herd immunity? If we all if we all get this vaccine?
John: I think that's a valid question that I expect that
Adam: to be asked. Or, or or does it hurt?
John: I think that's another one. I think also what is the difference is the question
Adam: is, what's the difference between this and the Madonna? And the Pfizer's?
John: What is the difference between this vaccine and the Madonna? And the Pfizer's who explained to me why this one doesn't need refrigeration those
do.
Adam: Now, well, nothing needs refrigeration. Now we've learned, you know,
John: you can just have it doesn't need be,
Adam: throw it in there. You can just throw it in the fish bait freezer, it's fine.
John: So I want to know the difference, because Should I get this shot instead of the other shot? If I'm allergic to everything, and I want it, I need
to get a shot.
Adam: That's probably as a journalist, the most important question is, what's the difference between this and the previous vaccines? And why?
John: That's the number one question. I agree with that. What's the difference?
Unknown: Okay,
John: well, where do you think we end up going?
Adam: black and brown people? misogyny? Will trans people benefit? I don't know. Where do we where do we go with this?
John: Well, here is this this clips called vaccine q&a.
Unknown: We know you have questions at home. So let's bring in Dr. Ashish Shah, the Dean of the Brown University School of Public Health. And Dr.
Shah, always great to have you here with us. And you and I were on the air here after Johnson and Johnson first released their own early data. Now,
weeks later, and this new FDA report tonight Just as encouraging, let's just reiterate here. 86% effective against severe illness here. Again, percent
effective at preventing hospitalizations and death. A single shot doesn't have to be stored at those deep freeze temperatures, normal refrigeration.
So I guess the question tonight is, is this a game changer? David,
thank you for having me
Adam: back. Is this a game changer?
Unknown: Because it is a game changer
Adam: because you don't have to freeze it and you only
John: get to have 3 million doses anyway. Okay, but don't worry, we still have time mirror can still ask, what's the difference between this vaccine
Adam: for having me back,
Unknown: it's wonderful news
is just one more piece of really good news on the vaccine front. I think it's going to make an enormous difference. It's going to be so much easier to
store and get out to people. And look what we care about most of those hospitalizations and deaths. And this vaccine seems terrific at preventing
that. And that's what matters.
And doctors obviously we just don't know how this could affect the ultimate
Adam: well, right there if we're going to pull this apart. I mean, the whole and we've heard it twice now 100% effective against hospitalization, and
John: you've heard it four times
Adam: 100% effective against hospitalization and death and deaths does so mean. To me, it would be why would we even take any vaccine except this one,
this is the one you want. You don't want to die and this Doesn't Madonna and Pfizer? Do they not? Why do they not provide that guarantee? There's your
questions.
John: A another of the many questions that need to be asked, but and don't worry, we still got time left here might ask, you just
Adam: never know, terrific at preventing bad. And that's what matters.
Unknown: And doctors obviously we just don't know how this could affect the ultimate timeline for vaccinating Americans and no one wants to over
promise here. But let's look at what we do know tonight. Pfizer and moderna have both promised to meet that deadline of 300 million doses each. By the
end of July. That's enough for all America. Now, Johnson and Johnson saying that's approved by weeks, and they can get another 100 million doses by
June. So you do the math. And that's enough to vaccinate a 400 million people. Again, without any promises. Could this potentially help with this
timeline? Could we get more Americans vaccinated a bit sooner?
Adam: Absolutely. I suspect that vaccines will become widely available to people by May. And by June to July, pretty much everybody who wants a
vaccine should have been vaccinated by then the timelines you are getting better by the day. And look, this is really important. And it's going to
make a big difference as we get into the summer.
Unknown: And I gather Dr. Shah that even though there could be a third vaccine, and very soon that your advice still would be to get whichever vaccine
becomes available closest to where you are.
Yeah, absolutely. The number one goal is preventing hospitalizations and deaths preventing those severe illnesses. All three vaccines are terrific.
That's what I'm recommending to my family. whenever it's your turn, get any of the vaccines you can that's what matters.
John: What
Adam: doesn't matter. I
John: thought this was gonna be a QA about Dr. Johnson, a game changer.
Adam: Just get it.
John: And by the way, I don't know how they got from 3 million to 100 million doses. But oh, that was pretty double. Now. They did that. But this is
the worst piece of crap. Reporting didn't didn't, didn't answer it or address anything. They just brought some shill on from you know, some dean of a
medical school. Probably doesn't even follow a degli. I'll just get a shot. He
Adam: was available on Friday night. He's on the call list.
John: Yeah, I'm sure he's good. He does what he's supposed to do, which is say nothing.
Adam: Meanwhile, the CEO of Pfizer big interview in this wall street journal. Yeah. They will be doing $15 billion in COVID-19 vaccine sales this
year. Whoo.
John: I'm not paying for it. Who's paying for it? But where's this money coming from?
Adam: Oh, you're paying for it? Of course it is coming. I was told I was in painful. It's been not directly. You're not
John: supposed to be free?
Adam: Yeah, it is. at retail, but it's already been settled son. The Pfizer CEO believes the profit stream could prove to be long lasting, because
people will likely need booster shots in the future. Mm hmm. Their countenance in their models. Now. They've given it to the analysts. They've let
everybody know this is an ongoing thing. We're good to go. Yeah.
John: Doesn't anybody think this stinks.
Adam: And and he's very happy that regulators, US regulators have allowed Pfizer to now put six doses into a vial instead of five?
John: Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's the same vial. I know. They just call it six.
Adam: Why would it even be? Why do you even need a regulator to tell you what you can put in the vial? It would maybe you do. I don't know. I don't
know anything about that. But this vaccine from Johnson and Johnson is quite magical at 100. And we will, we will keep our eye on this the 100%
guarantee that you're not going to become sick or have to go to the hospital or die. And Dr. Cat gave us a little update. You know, Dr. Cat team
halos. She's one of the back to talking eight Stooges on Tick Tock. Yeah, she's, she's got some exciting news about the vaccine. Hey, Dr.
Unknown: Cat epidemiologist, so this person's question is regarding some of the news that you've probably heard rumblings about rumblings. In Israel,
we are seeing some reduced transmission rates of COVID-19 in vaccinated individuals. So the data is looking very positive and
stop. I
Adam: know.
John: Yes. Isn't that the idea?
Adam: Well, it's very positive vaccinate be, of course, but then just glossing over it. Like it's the most normal thing in the world. This is what I
don't understand. Where are people saying Hold on a second. If I get vaccinated for it, if I get the MMR then I won't get mumps measles rubella, and I
won't pass it on correct.
John: Then what kind of facts the assumption of the vaccine we live in? Yeah,
Adam: well, no, she's
Unknown: out the window.
Adam: She's all happy that odd turns out you can't get it. Maybe it's not. So Severe, you'll get it.
Unknown: Israel has given Pfizer access to their patient records, which is an electronic patient database full of 9 million people in Israel and a
Adam: nice hit by
Unknown: anybody, not half of those people about 45% have been vaccinated. And the finding so far is that it is protective of the individuals. But
also it looks like there's a reduction in asymptomatic spread of disease. Now
Adam: a reduction I thought asymptomatic spread was already debunked that that really was so infinitesimal doesn't make any difference. Am I did I
miss an update somewhere?
John: Yes, you missed an update. And what was the upside to go back back to asymptomatic? Yeah, but
Adam: now Luckily, this the the Pfizer vaccine slows it down. It's very confusing.
Unknown: Additionally, out of the UK today, we saw a preprint come out of the siren study, which is 23,000 vaccinated and unvaccinated health care
workers and saw a significant decrease in asymptomatic cases in that study as well. So when data is finalized, I'll report
Adam: it's, it makes no sense. I didn't even know what she's happy about. All you want all you really want to hear. So it works. They started early on
with this percentages. And you know, I got it. Yeah,
John: remember that 93% and 90 knows one company came out 92 there. So we got 93. All we got 94. Never the 90s, the 90s numbers that voted out
Adam: 9698. And then now it's 8674 100.
John: random numbers,
Adam: the one that gets me the most is people who get COVID after having received the vaccine, including my sister in law, no good. for five weeks
after her second shot, she got COVID 105 degree fever, but was really flipping out because of the fear. And once you know who she was talked down off
the ledge got a little better. But do you know that people who have gone through this have no way to report into the system?
John: Or even the people who took the vaccine and and got COVID got COVID
Adam: which makes no sense. If you go back to your vaccination spot. There'll be like a cool story, Bro, I don't know what to do with that. You should
call someone. There's no feedback loop. And this is quite an article about it. 530 eight.com we're quite upset about this. It's like if you if you
don't even have a mechanism, yet they do have an observation period, which I think is initially 15 minutes and then you know, who knows if they track
it? Clearly not. No one's called my sister in laws and wow. Hi. So that's bogus. Hi, it's Tom here from Madonna. We'd like to talk to you about your
product, which did not live up to his expectations. We're really sorry. Let's see what happened. And let's get some data from you. She cooked him a
derner Mm hmm. I believe so I believe was in the dirt. Now. You remember bad chat. But
John: this idea. Let me just throw this out there just as a possibility. This stuff doesn't work.
Adam: Okay, possibility one. Yes, it's sailing. Now. There's something in it for sure. And I
John: meant it but doesn't mean it works. It's an experimental it's an mRNA vaccine. They've never been able to get these to work and they're
dispiriting on the public.
Adam: That thing this is well established. Do you remember bad Chad from Boulder? Colorado, he would write us who drives these? He's the EMT. You
don't. He once wrote us about how he crashed his mountain bike and he had to go to the bathroom and he found the toilet paper and it was hilarious.
And I don't remember that either. So bad Chad is an EMT in Boulder has been that for for 20 years. And what? I'm sorry, I missed that. Oh, bad Chad.
Is it bad Chad, he wrote me a note about his experience with the vaccine. Yeah, and he's an EMT, and this and he's been an EMT for 20 years. He's you
know, the fire department. He's the guy that you want. When you're in trouble when he comes through the door. You'll be happy. He's told us a lot
about In fact, he was within hours of the George Floyd. He said, Oh, yeah, excited delirium because he deals with all this stuff on a regular basis.
So he sent me a note and it's in his prose, but I do think it's worth sharing. As he says, I had a bit of a scare recently, which I thought you might
be interested. And so again, he's been in, in medicine for 20 years. I caved and went and got the stupid vaccine. It was just who hubris maybe that
led me to it at worst. I thought it would do nothing. I expected nothing anyway, it seemed a mere convenience. Work would quit hassling me. I'd have
my golden ticket. I figured it to be just another layer of asshole camouflage like a mask or any of these other trendy contrivances. Besides, I've
already been participating as a test subject in a university study to identify antibody rates in asymptomatic first responders, and have at least had
at least one of the three studied COVID-19 antibodies consistently for the past six months, which I guess means you would have had it and it has the
antibody hadn't got over it. Funny thing about that about half of the study group was positive for these antibodies among asymptomatic participants.
But herd immunity without vaccine isn't a thing. So shut up science. I was assigned the maternal vaccine, I walked into a hospital Conference Center,
where I've been told to report and they gave me a little card that said modern on it, and wandered into the maternal line. The whole thing was weird
from the get go. I'm a clinician, I've been inflicting medical. I've been inflicting medical care on people for 20 years. I forgot most of the
medicine A long time ago. But the truly important part, the theater of medicine is like riding a bicycle. It's the subtle art of manipulation. It's
how to take a crack head into the back of an out of talk a crack head into the back of an ambulance, how to convince someone to let you take care of
them. All the monkey skills I can teach you in a week. The people moving is the part that takes years and years anyway, I can appreciate the
monolithic clean the cavity of a metropolitan hospital a great Cathedral to an unquestionable religion, the way the pyramids controlled the Egyptians.
However, these guys ruined it and this is interesting. They had candy and balloons and party Music Playing everyone kept telling me Congratulations,
like I'd won the damn lottery. It was surreal. I was dazed by the unexpected nonsense of it all even forgot to pop my Alka Seltzer in my mouth and
flop around on the floor. 14 minutes after the injection just for grins. No, it was already too strange. I've heard this from people that you go, you
get that you go to the vaccination site, and they're handing out balloons and lollipops and it's completely the opposite of how you would want it to
be serious.
John: the seriousness
Adam: of it. Yeah, the first shot didn't hit me too hard. I had a sore arm and a goofy brain fog for about 12 hours. But the second one knocked me on
my ass. My wife and I both were both essential workers got our second hit within a day of each other and we're almost incapacitated for five days,
fever, chills, crippling aches, lethargy, brutal. After about a week everything seemed back to normal and here it comes. 12 days in shit got weird. I
cannot say definitely that the following was caused by the vaccine. But I can say that I've had almost flawless health to this point. In life
bloodwork labs annual physical even my family history is relatively unremarkable. No allergies, no medications, I exercise that he pretty well. I met
my computer the other night, I start to feel my eyes getting tired. I mentioned to my wife that I seem to have a small blind spot that hides parts of
the words and makes them hard to read. We laugh a bit about getting old and needing new glasses. At the time I was working on a freehand 3d sketch of
a loft I was planning on building in the garage. I was getting tired having a difficult time getting the lines to make sense. I look back up at the
computer and tried to read some of the headlines, but I might find myself reading them several times through to understand them. About this time it
started to feel that something was very, very wrong. I picked up a piece of mail from my desk and tried to read from it. The words were sticking in my
head. I tried to read the page out live but the words would not come out of my mouth. I tried several times in disbelief each time fumbling the word
not garbled or slurred. Just not even close. The word managed came out flat. It was like everything I read became lost on the way to my mouth and got
stuck in that place just on the tip of my tongue.
John: I couldn't I was like he's having a stroke.
Adam: Well, it was terrifying Adam I immediately started thinking about Snow Crash. This is the Neil Stevenson. Neil Stevenson book about the matrix.
The metaverse about my base programming crashing that's what it felt like and anything agnostic in my mind any question of a human soul beyond this
malfunctioning massive wires and connections in my head was lost and the beautiful but ultimately, physical nature of my mind was revealed to me.
There was no immortal thing in any in there. Only a fragile assembly of sparks and gaps as easily and surely disrupted by the wiping out files in the
root folder, as I have on my laptop. But this was really happening. I began to come to grips with the idea was probably having a stroke. So he goes
on, he went in no stroke. They have no idea. He tried to bring it up with him that this was the vaccine, they shut him down right away. nananana
nanana and now he's okay. He's very tired still. But I would say this is a very scary experience.
John: Sounds like he took an LSD shot. Ooh,
Unknown: Hmm,
Adam: I wish I'd never done LSD. So I have no idea how that feels disassociated, maybe. But man, you know, something, something's in there. But the
the idea that he connected that to Snow Crash and kind of like base programming kind of fits in with the whole mRNA CRISPR gene splicing thing.
John: Well, who knows what was going on? I mean, it doesn't sound safe.
Adam: Hey, it's 100 Oh, no, that's the Johnson and Johnson. That's alright, let's see what's happening with the 96% of Pfizer second dose. I thought
it was 95. But okay, now it's 96.
Unknown: And this morning, a new Israeli study on the Pfizer vaccine suggests people who receive both shots are almost 96% less likely to get sick.
This weekend, the country starting to get back to normal using COVID restrictions, and using green passes to residents who have been vaccinated.
Adam: Now if you'd listened to that clip, instead of hey, you've got a vaccine and it works. While we have great news 96% you won't get sick. But this
is just not a functioning product. And they're just saying it.
John: Well, here's another little aspect to this as we listen to all these different reports, if they're going to have it, if it's going to be
possible by mid summer to have everybody in United States vaccinated who what they always say this. Everyone's one Swanson.
Adam: Who wants to wouldn't want it, huh? Yeah, you want it baby. But
John: if you could have the whole population vaccinated by mid summer, why are they still talking about we're not going to get back to normal to
Christmas or until 2022?
Adam: Well, I happen to have
John: a call you have a clip to explain this. Well, it makes no sense to me. I want to leave on an on an upbeat note upbeat note here, we've had cases
come down dramatically. And this is after what some people feared might be a holiday spike or a Super Bowl spike. We're
Adam: not getting that. Lately, one Johns Hopkins scientist argued in the Wall Street Journal. This means herd immunity is coming even faster than
perhaps folks thought what say you to that? came with the what say you to say you ever understood. And and what's interesting about that is that is
the reverse grammar that you use in Germanic languages. In the Netherlands,
John: it was said that the most on these cable shows. I'm sorry, the guy I think who who promoted it. And I don't say he invented it, because it's
something that goes way back. But he said it all the time. He said it to every guest he ever had. That's O'Reilly O'Reilly was the watch say you
Interesting, interesting, huh? He's gone now. So I thought
Unknown: what say you to that?
John: Yeah, I'm not so sure that this is herd immunity that we're talking about, we had to come down certainly the number of people that have been
affected or contributing to that also some contribution with vaccines, not a lot. I don't think we vaccinated enough people yet to get the herd
immunity. I think you're seeing the natural peaking and coming down. The one comment I want to make about that Chuck, for the for the viewers and the
listeners is that the slope that's coming down is really terrific. It's very steep. And it's coming down very, very quickly. But we are still at a
level that's very high. What I don't and none of my colleagues want to see is when you look at that slope to come down there to say, Wow, we're out of
the woods. Now we're in good shape, we're not because the baseline of daily infections is still very, very high. It's not that 300 to 400,000 that we
had some time ago, but we want to get that baseline really, really, really low before we start thinking that we're out of the woods.
Unknown: So keep wearing your masks.
Wait, Dr. Fauci. Absolutely.
Anyway,
John: I won't let you set a chocolate
Unknown: we will scream it has my Why Why are you glad and anyway,
Adam: as always, sir, thank you for coming to see our expertise. He hates being the double, triple mass guy. He's tired of being ridiculed for his
idiotic measures. So of course, the infection rate came down. If you look at the charts, it was pretty much around the inauguration day, maybe a
little bit earlier. The day is now yours, boom, started going down. And that's when we had who said oh, you know, the PCR you got to lower the cycle
count, everyone lowered their cycle count. And in The Lancet, we had a report coming out this week. That quite clearly states in our view, current PCR
testing is not the appropriate gold standard for evaluating Getting a SARS cub to public health test. So all of this will come out now. even funnier.
Remember, remember the bleach drinking that even though
John: there's a fine I don't have the the material in front of me but the bleach drinking thing or any Trump said or maybe inject some Yes, I have it.
Gary Deron Joe, you do because they're injecting in the in the modern and the Pfizer vaccine, they actually are injecting and disinfected properly, I
think believe is propylene glycol is one of the glycol
Adam: propylene glycol is the same stuff that's in the vape.
John: Yeah, whereas propylene glycol they're in, it's in the vaccine they're injecting. And now in some areas of Georgia, and I believe Tennessee,
they want to spray propylene glycol into the air. And they're getting approval to do this. And this, this whole thing is just they have really screwed
with us.
Adam: Yeah, the propylene glycol, which we talked about? Well, we had a study. Maybe it was nine or 10 months ago, that showed very clearly that
viruses die on contact, which is why I've been vaping my ass off. And I
John: haven't gotten sick. That's the reason
Adam: no, who knows. But no, I mean, you tell me what the reason is. But now they're also doing nebulized peroxide, which appears to be a very simple
remedy. And you and you just inhale it with a little inhaler. And good to go. It's you know, all this stuff that was ridiculed laughed at turns out it
might actually work might actually be true. Yeah, but it only works because
John: Trump's not president Hello.
Adam: He made all
John: right, another piece of info another like a Baffler. Since we know that the discussion of where this virus came from goes on back and forth. But
it's never the lab. No, never the lab. It can't be the lab. So now Trump's out so we get this thing. This is the COVID pump pale, common commentary,
pop he'll still out there with and he just wrote an editorial for the Wall Street Journal and he's going to talk about what this guy with this Chinese
guy and where was where was pompeyo during this whole time where there wasn't a lab listen to this
Unknown: former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and his senior China policy adviser Myles, you are demanding that the Chinese Communist Party take
biosafety seriously. They also call on the international community to hold the CCP accountable if it fails to uphold global biosafety standards. In an
opinion piece published in The Wall Street Journal this Tuesday, pump peyo and you argue that CCP is negligence on biosafety is putting the world at
risk. They say quote, most signs point to the Wu Han Institute of virology or w IV as the source of COVID-19 den director of web warning in 2018. That
the biosafety laboratory is a double edged sword, it can be used for the benefit of humanity but can also lead to a disaster. The then director also
acknowledged China's biology labs lack operational technical support, professional instructions and feasible standards for safety requirements. Pump
eo and you also highlight that a 2016 safety survey conducted by the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology on 75 bio research labs in China finds
that w IV didn't even make it to the top 20 in terms of quality pump. Whoa. And you also say the State Department confirmed last month that the Wi Fi
conducts secret bioweapons research with the People's Liberation Army or plla. They say this is why the plla sent a general to take over Wi Fi soon
after the outbreak and Wu Han. They say the world has a responsibility to make sure the CCP is not given a free pass on biosafety reporting by Alison
Lee and TD news
Adam: NTD.
John: What does that ntds is a is a news organization out of Taiwan that's that has some some association with the Epoch Times but
Adam: if not, is there some protection from them?
John: Something like that, but whatever the case, where does this come from? pompeyo saying most scientists agree that it came from the lab.
Adam: Oh, he's just using old tricks. You just say that? I'm sure most do. But you just gotta say like 97% of
John: my desktop. My point. My point is where was this dirt when Trump was the president? Oh, not from pump
Adam: Hey, oh, no. pump. Hey, it was a CIA guy. He was never on Trump's side. Obviously Oh, of course not.
John: All of a sudden we switch from Oh, no, it's not the lab. It couldn't be the lab. There's no chances to lab that's bold crap. To most scientists
agree it was the lab. Where's I didn't see that article. I'm very annoyed by this. Yeah, it was because it's not because we've been saying all along
that is probably the lab is the only thing that makes sense. Ever since that French guy, the Nobel Prize winner,
Adam: whatever happened to him, we haven't seen him before he's been marginalized
John: to an extreme Muslim wants to talk to him, because God knows he's already got a Nobel Prize in Medicine. And he's French. But he said that from
day one. Yeah. Anyway, this very, very
Adam: got a couple answers on the military not being the vaccine not being mandatory for the military. And multiple people sent the same note, yes,
the vaccines voluntary since it was given emergency approval by the FDA. FDA will remain But well, but yes, and No. Because I got another note that
says the military does not follow the FDA. They get all sorts of waivers and many other loopholes. The military is ruled by the ucmj. Not the
Constitution. In a nutshell, each service member is property of the US military, by the way, Agent Orange nuclear testing. Hello. I guess if they
wanted to test it on you, they could. Well, but that tells you saw right there, it tells you something right there and let's not give it to our boys
and girls. let's not let's not give them that thing. We need a fighting force.
John: Yeah, we need force can't read.
Adam: words out of their mouth
John: is moving.
Adam: Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, who is a big man on campus now for the Biden administration, he's all jacked. He can't wait to get to
the kids
Unknown: high schoolers be vaccinated by the fall will elementary school children. I mean, when do they get the
Adam: shot? Yeah, give him the shot. Yeah, I
Unknown: think it's possible that this vaccine gets moved into the high school age population in the fall. And that really should be the goal, because
we've seen the spread happen more in the high schools in the elementary schools. And we know that high schools, high school students have probably at
equivalent risk in terms of contract and the spread of the infection, there's less risk in the grade school age children. I don't believe that this
vaccine is going to get moved to 12. And under heading into the fall, the studies are underway right now looking at that, it may be a question of
trying to reformulate the vaccines at a lower dose for younger kids because they develop a more robust immune response from the vaccine, what's likely
to happen is maybe it's not licensed for 12 and under, but we haven't available if we have to put it in that age population if in fact, we run into
trouble, but I think students are likely to start school without being vaccinated for 12 and under and maybe in the high schools. We introduced the
vaccine.
Adam: It's like Gardasil man. Why did children need this at all? I thought that was not necessary.
John: If you look at the death rate, the charts is always hardly any bad. And yeah, and that may even be dubious those numbers it's not
Adam: it's not like a childhood vaccine, where you get one a good for the rest of your life. Now. It's just like a flu vaccine. You get one every year
and a pastor or a third shot or God knows whatever. So with all of this with vaccines rolling out with with with Joe Biden is President time to bring
in hair Fauci and talk to him about getting back to normal.
Unknown: You and the President have suggested that we'll approach normality. At the end of the year, what is normal mean? Do you think Americans will
still be wearing masks, for example, in 2022?
John: Oh, yeah, you know, I think it is possible that that's the case. And again, it really depends on what you mean by normality, right? No matter
what
Unknown: I want you to define exactly the way
John: it's important because if normality means exactly the way things were
Adam: because he knows that everything has been destroyed and normal. Take a look around and bash nothing's normal people are poor restaurants are
closed economy destroyed. Oh, Danna, Danna, Danna,
John: timecode. They're pleased
Unknown: to find that actually, the way you
John: know, data, it's important because if normality means exactly the way things were before we had this happen to us, I mean, I can't predict that.
But I mean, obviously, I think we're going to have a significant degree of normality beyond what the terrible burden that all of us have been through
over the last year that as we get into the fall in the winter, by the end of the year, I agree with the president completely, that we will be
approaching a degree of normality. It may or may not be precisely the way it was in November of 20. 19 but it'll be much, much better than what we're
doing right
Unknown: now.
Bear with that, sure. And
Adam: and I love how they stretch it up until the flu season of this year. And they're already signaling. Oh, flu is gonna be so bad this year. It's
gonna be it's gonna be the worst ever flu year. So, yeah, well, oh, evidence of this will be locking down again. Oh, yeah, we're gonna lock down. It's
a
Unknown: little more about the timeline. your timeline is taking us out a year, maybe two years, maybe even longer?
No, I can't say that, Dan, and I don't want it to be said that, because then it will be a soundbite. That's not true. Hank,
I'm saying we don't know. We don't like
John: very well, at the very end of this press conference, when he was in Michigan, at the Pfizer plant. He said, You know, you asked me to make
projections. These are just projections that are estimates. And a lot of things can happen to modify that. And that's the reason why we've got to be
careful, because you have variants that you need to deal with. There were so many other things that would make a projection that I give you today, on
this Sunday. Case, six months from now.
Adam: It's done. It's unbelievable. And no mention of Hey, you remember you said two weeks to flatten the curve.
John: There's a million things they could call this guy on. He's really they got to get him off the air.
Adam: I don't think he's effective anymore. He's really not really not that
John: other guy that you can't promise you is gonna take over. I haven't heard anything from him poster,
Adam: homie. We've been playing clips from him for four weeks. Oh, no, this. Yeah. Well, we played him last week. He's all doom and gloom as the guy.
hurricane is terrible. The Hurricane is coming. We're just weeks away. Well,
John: I I haven't asked Adam, for instance, right in the middle of this. Okay. This is a COVID term COVID-19 pandemic term. I want you to tell me what
it is. Long haulers.
Adam: Long haulers. No, they
John: they discussed this on ABC as though everybody knows this. So I expect that you would know it. I never heard of it
Adam: a long haul or to me it would be a truck driver who drives cross country. That's a long haul. That's that's the first thing that pops
John: COVID in regard is the guy who drives the truck that brings the vaccine. No, it's not that either. Okay,
Adam: well, hold on. Let me think about it. Since it's apparently so obvious. Long well,
John: to them. I mean, for the longest irregular term. I've
Adam: never heard this is this people who are is this is this people who are still locked in their homes like Japanese like American soldiers on
Japanese islands
John: after 30 Japanese soldiers, American soldiers.
Adam: American soldiers did that too.
John: We weren't at that we are now we're not that much. Now. We took them home. All right.
Unknown: Well, I give up. Yeah, of
John: course you do. Because I never heard this term. But all of a sudden now it's a term that we have to live with. play this, you'll hear it?
Adam: Well, I'm looking for the clip, which one is Oh, it says new term, long haul. So just give me one more second to think about before we reveal
all long haulers. So you're in it for the long haul. This you're in it for the long haul then? Well, let's find out yet
Unknown: I won't. And tonight news for the 1000s of so called long haulers COVID victims who still have symptoms. Months later, the National
Institutes of Health has announced an official study into long haulers after a recent study found about one third of COVID patients followed reported
lingering symptoms as long as nine months after being sick.
Adam: Wow. And no, of course we haven't heard that term. Why would they ever want to introduce that? poll? They
John: just did it then they did low key in there is Twitter is the comment, one third? One third of anyone who said COVID has lingering effects up to
nine months so far. I mean, it could be longer because you know we're still in the phase of nine months. Do
Adam: they have a clinical description for these people or just your alarm hauler because nothing worked for you?
John: I don't know. But it seems to me that there's a lot of this kind of weirdness going on and this is so disorganized It's ridiculous. And I think
our our BMT guys a good example where you have all these, or we actually know your sister in law is even a better example. Yep. She has all these
issues and nobody cares or whatever. You got your shot. Get out of here.
Adam: Shut up. What's your problem?
John: It's unbelievable. And this is what is just the dude I mean, Biden was talking about mismanagement. Oh, the whole the whole crisis has been
mismanaged. Vote me and yeah, so how's it better manage What's changed?
Adam: Well, I think it's pretty, pretty apparent that nothing has changed and everybody kind of knows it's except for you know, we're doing more
celebratory bell ringing for dead people. We are trying to move the needle note, sports desperately trying to get back and we had the Australian Open.
And there were people who were allowed to go watch this. And they were well they expressed their their thoughts about the Australian government as the
boss here of the tournament speaks to the crowd.
Unknown: There are many other people to thank that enabled this great night to take place in the last couple of weeks. the top of that list is a
Victorian Government without you we could not have done this.
And not just a little bit
and a huge thank you.
The 1000s of people.
Adam: Mind you, this is
Unknown: when you're finished. This is a tennis match.
Adam: This is not the approved behavior of
John: Tennessee Yankee game No.
Adam: And in New York. We're desperately trying to get something back get something going in the garden.
Unknown: A sign of hope in the pandemic is more sports fans being allowed inside two arenas. CBS was Moeller Langley at Barclays Center in New York
says there are procedures or
tickets for fans
they're asked to bring along proof of a negative COVID test
John: and once arriving on site undergo another test that takes
Unknown: about six minutes everyone will have on a mask.
Dina Irwin is the general manager of Barclays Center
will be in an arena with 300 fans. Everybody will be spaced out
John: bank checks are now touchless food and drinks they're all prepackaged a few miles away in Manhattan's Madison Square Garden they welcome fans
back by the 1000s never
Unknown: been to a game 20,000 seat arena with 2000 people spread out
Adam: probably can't even make money just by turning on the lights
Unknown: on another loosen their ass
Adam: it's got to be got to be and someone sent me this clip from an I probably go watch this on Netflix a 2017 movie, starring Michael Douglas. It's
just one of those irritating things when that comes across your desk. The title of the movie is unlocked, which I've never heard of. No idea what this
was about. Well, when you hear the clip, you'll get an idea what it was about. But just a little bit of predictive programming in here which I thought
was interesting for 2017 how many
John: dead enough to get our attention. Global viruses have the biggest threat to mankind and Washington is asleep. It's an American affliction. You
know, they trucked by the World Trade Center in 93. It takes 911 to make an impression Ebola hops across the Atlantic. A week before that wanting to
Unknown: some kind of sick wake up call. Now.
John: I call it a stress test for America's bio defects. Those American guests next door are going to fly back to Oregon or to Oklahoma and each one
of them a ticking bomb. And when they go off Washington will appreciate it
Unknown: staggering lack of preparation
and do what exactly
John: legalise what's needed for the next time. Forced isolation all contacts, quarantine camps and the troops to secure real time access to private
medical records. Medical motion
Unknown: keeping up with Mother Nature.
Adam: Gosh, that sounds so prescient, doesn't it? Make all that stuff legal? Exactly. We cannot lose sight of this the Netherlands it's now in the the
caretaking government as they call it, you know the parliament fell but a month ago, so they have a caretaker governments the same people. They have
decided despite the the case being won against the state of the Netherlands that the government does have important business to do here. So the curfew
can stay in place until March 15. That is two days before they the Dutch go to the polls. And yes, if you are elderly, you are more than welcome to
mail in your vote. Huh it's a great setup.
John: The scam of the decade.
Adam: Yeah. Yeah,
John: I get some good there's some good clips. Kevin after I got the Sunday I gotta bring these clips and Naomi wolf going off of the Yeah, yeah,
she's she's on Tucker moaning about the
Adam: about everything. Everywhere. She
John: that's what she does. But my favorite one is a clip on the rebel where this guy got comes into Canada and
Adam: he refuses to go into court everything. And he says, Oh,
John: no, no, he says I'm a Canadian citizen. And then he names the laws that apply. Yeah. And he says, I don't have to wear a mask. I got a medical
condition. I don't have to take a stupid test. I don't have to produce any of these documents. And they and they let them go. They can be comes in.
They push it right out of the airport. And he he says, and with a ticket they says they gave me a ticket. And he says this green ticket which
apparently they give out in said apparently, in Canada all the time for people that don't go by the rules. He says not one of them has ever been
prosecuted. Right? Yeah. So it's just a bits of it's all theater in Canada.
Adam: Well, I'm sure it's theater here too. I mean, all of it is theater. All of it. Yeah. Now much. Now, the thing that is just phenomenal to watch.
Amidst all of this is the alleged murderer of old people. The Governor Cuomo of New York State is this guy, what is he made of? Like? Teflon or
Kevlar? I mean, there's shooting everything in this guy. Now. It's sexual harassment.
John: He said, Hey, this sexual harassment because I believe I believe
Adam: all women too, but just hammer and that
John: doesn't look like the type. She's not like one of those biddies, she looks like she looks like the type of woman who would be harassed by a guy
like this. Yeah.
Adam: So Jonathan, Karl was pestering, pestering Saki, Jim Saki about what's going on here, Jim.
Unknown: Okay. I want to turn to another controversy that raged this week and then and then
Adam: notice how he's
Unknown: under fire for allegedly not being transparent and misleading on his on the number of nursing home deaths in New York last spring. President
Biden cited andrew cuomo is the gold standard for leadership during the pandemic. Take a listen. Your governor in New York Stan one hell of a job he I
think he's sort of the gold standard.
Adam: Yay.
Unknown: So now we've seen
Adam: that reporting that I love so much. It's like why even bother play this clip? Your governor hit when he said
Unknown: he repeats exactly what he said andrew cuomo is the gold standard for leadership during the pandemic. Take a listen. Your governor in New
York's done one hell of a job he I think he's sort of the gold standard.
Adam: What a waste of air.
Unknown: So now we've seen that Governor Cuomo has allegedly under counted nursing home tests misled legislators in New York, and he called the New
York assembly in Ron Kim, raising questions, you know, basically destroy him, I think was his actual words. So does President Biden's still consider
andrew cuomo the gold standard? When it comes to leadership on the pandemic?
Adam: I'm not even gonna play the answer, because, you know, went nowhere, but he did follow up. Alright. But Jen, my
Unknown: question was, does President Biden still believe that Andrew Cuomo is the gold standard represents the gold standard on leadership during
this pandemic? Just a yes or no does? Well,
the President Well, it doesn't always have to be a yes or no answer.
Adam: Oh, yes, it does. If you're President Trump, it has to be a yes or no answer. What about ism? But hey,
Unknown: just a yes or no? Well, john, the
President, the president. Well, it doesn't always have to be the answer. JOHN, I think the President is focused on his goal, his objectives as
President of the United States. He's gonna continue to work with Governor Cuomo, just like he'll continue to work with governors across the country.
And I'm not here to give new labels or names from the president. I'm here to communicate with you about what
his objectives are as President.
John: You know, I tell you what the answer should have been. Okay, do you think is the gold standard? Yes or No, she should say, I really don't know.
I haven't talked to him about this specific subject. Next. I mean, how hard is that to say that? I don't know. I never says I don't know she has yet
to say that. She says I'll come back around, circle round circle back, circle back, circle back, give you a circle around. Reach around, I'm gonna do
a reach around on I'll be right back. No, she never she could just easily say, I don't know, I have not talked to the President about a specific
subject. Next time I see him. I'll ask him, although I don't think it's that important. If you wanted to take a little further,
Adam: I think the gin Jim's hockey that she thought it would be easy. She thought, okay, orange man bad is out. It's It's everything go back to normal
now. And I'll just take my questions. I'll have my tabs. And you know, we know that the binder, the binder, we know we get this, they get the
questions in advance. So what kind of No, and it's getting very irritating for her particularly Peter doocy. Fox News. He gets the he has to be in the
front row. And he gets to ask all the tough questions, which is hilarious. As we now have a new version of kids in cages, I'm sorry, not in cages.
Again.
Unknown: We spoke yesterday about immigration and this simply HHS facility
in Carrizo springs, Texas for migrant children. And you said it is not kids in cages. We've seen some photos now of containers. Is there a better
description? Is it kids in containers instead of kids in cages?
A description of this facility?
Well, let me let me give a broader description of what's happening here. We have a number of unaccompanied minors, children who are coming into the
country without their families. What we are not doing what the last administration did was separate those kids rip them from the arms of their parents
at the border.
That is immoral. And that is not the approach of this administration. They
Adam: are unaccompanied minors, who are you going to rip them from Jim This is total bullcrap. But doocy didn't pick up on it. By the way. If there
are unaccompanied minors, armies, then there's no parent to rip them away from and they are in containers. A little better. They cook better in
containers, the cages, you know is just as open air
John: is more like a rotisserie. So sokhi we got to remember she never had this type of this job at a high profile. She was the Defense Department.
Adam: No, no Secretary of State Department State Department she
John: was doing I thought it was defensive. Okay, was what she was still it was that layer? It was it was lower. It was just a button. You know, it's
not covered by the mainstream that much? No, you have a p guy asking a few questions and maybe a Russian or two. And that's about it. Well, so it was
it was easy. I
Adam: think it was easy going for her. And it's not easy in the State Department briefings anymore either. Who is back with a vengeance. We haven't
heard from him for years. Finally, on the scene once again, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Matt Lee stern it up.
Unknown: And then I think that demonstrates that our strategy, including the legislative strategy, the strategy that of course Congress is has been
behind has been working to good effect, so will continue to work closely with Germany will continue to work closely with our other allies and partners
in Europe to uphold Europe's own stated energy security goals.
Is that disingenuous to claim credit for the aging companies winding down?
All of this work was done in the previous administration? I have only been in month for me and only been in office for a month. Right? Are you telling

withdrawals. So go check it out. genda stream.com. We have a so you can chat. At the same time you can listen to the live streams, which are live when
they're live. And everyone's hearing the same stream when it's pre recorded. But it's a great place to go hang out, talk to people. And yeah, I agree
that troll room is a little better than clubhouse. I was just kidding. trolls don't get all pissed off at me. And in the morning to our artists for
weight. First I need to tell everyone to hurry up and go over to no agenda social.com you can get an invite at the troll room is we're about to close
it down when we hear once we hit 10,000 members you can still federate, for sure we have Gitmo dot life isn't is one of the new new versions of
mastodon with a whole different look and feel a whole different type of software but it connects to the same federated stuff. And go ahead and end
we'll see you at no agenda social.com then we'd like to thank our artists for Episode 1323 we titled that one by denisa after the after the the O g by
denisa Anderson Cooper and this was brought to us by t s and this was a very interesting piece of art. It was obey with a head with a mask as the Oh
the B and the E with syringes. And this is one of those pieces of art that some people did not see it. Which I find surprising some people said what
is bei the why what is be wise and really you don't see the Oh What do you mean to look at the head Oh obey. And I think it's because we're so used to
the movie. What is it again with Roddy Piper
John: it's not they live there they live here they
Adam: live they live they live You're right. That were that that that OBE UI that obey is so somehow burned into our retina? I recognize it
immediately. But not everybody did. Isn't that interesting?
John: Yeah. Yeah.
Adam: We loved it though. I thought it was fantastic. There were a couple other believe a couple other things that we looked at. Was there anything
that you wait a minute there was something we specifically had to discuss? Let me see.
John: No, no, that we hit there was anything else that was really competitive?
Adam: Ah, well, I like Thompson Neil's birds on the wire. That was pretty weak. I think we discussed get the jab. A lot of gritty stuff, which we
didn't need that by the way. Holy crap. Did I did I predicted or what that you'd have all these stories about Texas energy customers now? $7,000 Bell?
Oh, yeah. Whichever one company, one small energy company, 29,000 customers. And that's the deal they made. You pay $9 a month. And you split you do
whatever you whatever you use, you pay the wholesale price, and you pay your share. And the risk is it could be very expensive. And in the summer
months, the price has also gone up briefly to eight or $9,000 per per megawatt hour. So this is not something new for these people. Anyway, I digress.
You're right. We didn't have any artwork. I don't think that we cheese I'm so sure that there was something we were talking about. Anyway, for sure.

I've been consistently traveling for business starting in Melbourne, Australia and gone through Germany, Poland, Netherlands, Texas, and right now I'm
passing through and time and quarantine and Bangkok, which is the best process so far. I must say there is no place like Texas right now. And it felt
so good to be free. While I was there, yes, I need some karma as I'm moving the family back to Melbourne, to a mount from Melbourne to Austin Austin,
nice to escape to prison island that Australia has become. Well, you know, you always go back to your old roots. We need to escape before their
economy crashes as they currently have $800,000 on unemployment 1.2 million on job Keeper and 1.5 million people on job on
Adam: Java see different job keeper.
John: Yeah, wouldn't if 1.2 on job keeper 1.5
Adam: on job I don't know he's giving us bogus information.
John: Basically, one third of the workforce is on government handouts. 35% of small businesses in Melbourne went under during their lockdowns in 88.
And you have that many people that were dead, right. This is really kind of ironic. My wife's been monitoring the Canadian news broadcasts. Yeah, also
they talk about Oh, one more died. Yeah, keep locked down and to die. Did we play a clip in the last show from the Prime Minister of Manitoba moaning
about three people who died. Okay, during the lockdowns 800 to 80,000 households are under mortgage deferments. There's no tourism at both domestic
and international and both domestic and international exports blocked by China specifically coal, which is their lifeblood. Well that's interesting.
They manufactured actually absolutely nothing on Australia's they chased away all the business like the auto industry, and international businesses
like mine can operate at all. yet. The government news via ABC Australian Broadcasting Company is consistently announcing how the economy is back to
pre pandemic levels Balkan only 6.4 unemployment have nothing good to say about their government or how their constant self congratulatory attitudes
about the spectacular job they've done. I can't even get home right now leaving me along with the other 40,000 Australians outside the country while
the Australian Government has all the travel insurance canceled our health policies while outside the country. So that's interesting. Nice. I enjoy my
time in Australia. I love the people but I'm going back to Texas. I'd rather deal with a few power outages then be arrested by the Dan Andrews
personal police force for speaking out loud. Sorry if the anger comes through, but I have plenty of it. Can you please put a plug in for my business
so I can write it off? On my taxes? I have a small cybersecurity company operating out of Houston and Bangkok silver bullet security.com. And there's

John: Well, he's the one who used the word dude. She just said bet she just said ran right and kind of left it so he called her out. Here we go. It is

think that we had one I was kind of impressed with. I haven't opened any to Cabernets was the Zinfandel actually tastes like a bit old fashioned
Zinfandel. I'm always looking for alcohol a little high but Zinfandel. Flavors were there.
Adam: We had the cab last night. Whoa. Very nice. Very nice. I just want to thank him for that. It was completely uncalled it's it now. Just because
you know you go and taste some wine so we're not everyone's like Hey, man, I gotta get on that show. gotta send us a wine that talk about it.
John: Yeah, cool. If I get more free wine anyone out. Gain great crusher here she's gonna be Miss has something to do with some wine.
Adam: Finally, finally getting some free stuff like the big boys over there. Yeah, thank you to our executive producers and associate executive
producers for producing as you should Episode 1320 for the no agenda show. Thank you. You keep it rolling. This is what is needed. It is part of our
value for value model. And if you'd like to find out more about if you'd like to support us for the next show, please go to bull
Unknown: run.org.
Adam: Slash and and remember, it's time, talent or treasure. We accept it all in our value for value model.
Unknown: Our formula is this. We go out. We hit people in the mouth.
John: Yeah, he's like, I have a new source of news. It's got they're actually playing normal news. It's kind of stuff the network's won't do. They
just talk about COVID. Right. And there's a lot of good stories that are just zooming bias that we're not covering, because nobody wants to talk about
him. And I want to play a few Yes, an example would be and he will just start off with this one because a bunch of artists already figured we're going
to talk about this. I don't know whether it's art worthy, but this is the whistleblowers at Coca Cola. You know about this? Is this
Adam: the coca cola?
John: Yeah, welcome cola. They get critical race theory at the company. Right? You suck.
Unknown: Yeah, I yes, I have heard about this.
Adam: Am I looking for a clip
John: because I can't see it called critical race theory at Coca Cola.
Adam: I was looking for whistleblower I'm sorry,
Unknown: Coca Cola is apparently training its employees and how to be less white. That's according to photos posted online by an alleged
whistleblower. The slides appear to draw on critical race theory which is inspired by Marxist thought. Let's take a look.
Try to be less white. That's apparently what one Coca Cola training slide concludes. whistleblower photos show the company is training its employees
on confronting racism and understanding what it means to be white. But what does it mean to be less white? According to the photos, it means being
less oppressive, less arrogant, less surgeon and breaking with white solidarity among other things. One of the slides claims in western civilization,
why people are socialized to feel they're inherently superior because they're white. It's not clear where the photos were captured. Coca Cola said the
images are not part of its training program. The company said it's better together global training covers topics including diversity, equity and
inclusion. Coca Cola didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. Conservative lawyer harmeet, Dillon wrote the slides appear to show blatant
racial discrimination against white people. And conservative commentator Candace Owens called on employees to sue the company. She took to Twitter
saying if a corporate company sent around a training kit instructing black people how to be less black, the world would implode and lawsuits would
follow. The training slides appear to support critical race theory. The theory echoes Marxist thought and reimagines class struggle based on race,
gender and sexual orientation. Over the past few years critical race theory has crept into classrooms, workplaces, and even the federal government.
Former President Trump banned this type training for federal employees
Adam: from what I
John: and Biden reestablished it. Of course,
Adam: what I understand is that this was a part of a LinkedIn company training package that I think you can give your employees access to.
John: That could be Yeah, that makes sense now well, in the same along the same vein, another story that's not being reported even though you heard of
that one you haven't heard about this woman out of Smith College who quit? Yes, it may be suing the gal
Adam: Tina told me about that. She gave up her job just she has a GoFundMe that's how dire This is before before we before we go there though. I just
want people know that mo facts with Adam Curry from was it two days ago, or whatever? Tuesday or Wednesday is about partially about this, Coca Cola,
and how it all ties back to the National Museum of African American History and Culture which we can talk about maybe after we do the the Smith Smith
College lady
John: will actually I get with something after that which has all ties in this Smith College just a longer clip and but it's interesting and you can
be interrupted if you feel like it.
Unknown: Jodie Shaw resigned last week he calls a racially hostile environment at Smith. Jodi Shaw resigned last week due to what she calls a racially
hostile environment at Smith College. She says it's caused by critical race theory based anti racist training programs show worked as an
administrative assistant at Smith where she was also an alumna. She previously blew the whistle on what was taking place at the college and wrote an
internal complaint, but she says nothing's changed. She was then given a choice. She said she was offered a settlement from the college in exchange
for her silence, but she turned it down so she could speak out. In a video posted to YouTube Friday, Shaw says she was faced with a decision between
comfort and freedom. And I chose freedom.
And
that this process made me realize that
freedoms not always comfortable
can always have both.
Shaw says there was an extremely difficult decision having to give up financial security in order to tell the truth and speak out against what she
says she knows is wrong. She says that unfortunately, she thinks more people are going to be having to make the same choice since critical race theory
in the form of racial sensitivity training for white people is permeating institutions all around the country. Although she is a self described
lifelong liberal. She says that what passes for progressive today at Smith and that's so many other institutions is regressive. Shaw's resignation
letter has been published by journalists Barry Weiss. In it Shaw wrote that race based stereotyping quote, taps into humanity's worst instincts to
break down into warring factions, and I fear this is rapidly leading us to a very twisted place. It terrifies me that others don't seem to see that
racial segregation and demonization are wrong and dangerous no matter what its victims look like being told that any disagreement or feelings of
discomfort somehow uphold white supremacy is not just morally wrong. It's psychologically abusive. And now she says she's taking Smith College to
court in order to set a legal precedent. And we're going to establish once and for all, that you cannot treat people differently in the workplace,
based on their skin color. Shaw says she knows she's not the only one suffering due to this ideology in the workplace. She says quote, our collective
future as a free nation depends on people having the courage to stand up to this dangerous and divisive ideology, no matter the cost.
Adam: Yeah, well, that's what needs to be done. She's very brave, and people should support her for standing up for this.
John: Yep, it's it's a Smith College is of all places Ivy League school. It
Adam: is interesting that Smith College and now you know, at the same time what I'm missing, and I know that they're in the we have Asian American
producers were my Asians, or my Asians that needs to be bitching, a little bit louder. You're getting all kinds of discrimination thrown at you.
Unknown: Yeah,
Adam: not now. They're not really hurt at all at all.
John: So if you want to take it, all of this is part of the same problem. Let's play these two clips. This is starting off bad math in Oregon.
Unknown: Oregon's education department is promoting a training program to help teachers quote, develop an anti racist math practice. The program is
funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and partners with many education and math organizations. According to the toolkit, teachers must work
to quote dismantle white supremacy in math classrooms. by visualizing toxic characteristics of white supremacy. Critics use a visible
John: She said visible eyes.
Unknown: MSc in math classrooms by visualizing,
visualizing
critical race theory has definitely come to the fore. When it comes to education. It's essentially unavoidable. Now
critical theory has origins and Marxism which separates the world into oppressors versus the oppressed. critical race theory takes that framework and
looks at the world through a racial lens separating people into racist and anti racist education expert Jonathan butcher says this idea says people
should look at narratives to describe the world. In other words, there are no absolute truths only narratives.
This is talking about injecting into a hard science, ideas of oppression and supremacy.
This toolkit says it's white supremacy for teachers to ask students to show their work or focus on the right answer. Teachers are encouraged to ask
their students to come up with at least two answers that might solve a math problem. A reference workbook similarly says the belief in objectivity is
the characteristic of white supremacy, it claims it's racist to believe there is such a thing as being objective or neutral. Instead, one should
assume that everybody has a valid point.
But what this is doing is taking a very political and I think, extremely circular and frankly, logically incoherent concept and sticking it into math.
Adam: I don't want to put words in his mouth, but I will paraphrase what, what Moe thinks of all this. And and first of all, it's Episode 59 is worth
listening to because this National Museum of African American History and Culture in the Smithsonian specifically calls for the following white issues
to be removed from society, which is the scientific method, individualism, hard work, Christianity, and the stable nuclear family. These are all very
racist, very white concepts. And the way most First of all, what Moses, this is all it's so insulting, so insulting, and even if you read some of
these, some of these rules and even legislation that's in committee right now, about math, mathematics being raised, there's a whole PDF for teachers
that I put in the show notes. It is unbelievable how stupid This is. But
John: the By the way, I should mention that these same things that are listed there at the museum are that are part of the laundry list put out by
BLM, which is also promoting the end of the nuclear family.
Adam: Yes, it's exactly. And if you look at who's on the board of this thing, I mean, it's the 400 of the top, well, not the board, but the sponsors
400 of the Fortune 500 are on it, every single one of them this is, you know, they've got the biggest names, huge drinking club. And ultimately, the
way Moe feels about it is that there's been so many numbers thrown out about African Americans, we had the super predators in the 90s, that brought us
the crime bill, which turned out to be bad math. So when it comes to proof, a lot of the claims that are made of racism, just don't hold up. Because
the actual facts say something differently about the numbers about the percentages, and you know, it's the same equity is in essence giving everybody
not appropriate to the share of, of the group. But everybody gets equal regardless of how big your your group is, of the of the overall larger group.
And in order to obfuscate that, that is bullshit. We have to just say, well, math is racist, same as biology, biology is also misogynist, and racist
and all these other things because biology doesn't want to admit that men are men and women are women. So therefore, biology is racist, misogynist,
and is a white supremacist concept. And everyone is just going along with it.
John: It's unbelievable. But luckily, That woman is Smith isn't but let's play part two of the bad math clips.
Unknown: The fact is, American students struggle with math and butcher says injecting this ideology into math is especially not helpful for students
given the situation. According to a 2017 Pew Research poll. When comparing the average math score for 15 year old students, American students ranked
nine slots under the average and 94 points below the top scoring countries Singapore. At the pandemic, students have fallen back considerably in math,
scoring an average of five to 10 percentile points lower than the previous year. But your clarifies This doesn't mean educators don't want to be
sensitive towards students with difficult backgrounds, but this ideology isn't what it seems to be
in there is the sense that it sounds righteous and justified. But once you scratch the surface, and it doesn't take long, what you find in critical
race theory is frankly, intolerance and a new form of bias. And that's what's being perpetuated here.
Adam: Yes,
John: you think who does this benefit? Who was Singapore? Number one in us? 94 on this list, because we're stupid. The Chinese are making out like
bandits on theirs. And nobody else is doing this around the world. And they're gonna just make us look like a bunch of dummies. If you can add two and
two. Well, you could, but it might be six,
Adam: you're not allowed to say show your work that is inherently racist. And in math education, teachers need to take into account the home learning
situations of African American students that's literally in the documents, what the hell? That's like a Biden ism.
Unknown: Well, you
Adam: know, poor people are just as smart as white kids. That's literally what's being said, Oh, no
John: black poor talk about insulting to the entire black world.
Adam: Yes.
John: They're not they're not teaching this sort of math in Africa. They have mathematics classes in Nigeria. I they're not moaning about white
supremacy of math at all. So this is like, this is a, this is the academics problem. They're the idiots that are putting up this because they haven't
got the guts or nerves or balls to say no. And all those companies, same thing with them, all those companies that are supporting that debt Museum,
that, that annex with whatever you want to call it. Yeah, they should be ashamed of themselves. But they've been all bullied into putting their names
so they can't even believe any of that. That we should get rid of the nuclear family. I think ford motor company believes that
Adam: if you pay attention to anything that comes out of the United Nations or any of these other groups, you will see that Oh, there was a great
image that was going around was on the report. The United Nations report on it you saw black guy white guy kissing, black woman, white woman kissing
black woman hugging herself, which means self love. And I think that was it. The idea is to eliminate men in case you hadn't noticed. Men are being
eliminated. We're going back to Cleopatra times I think that's what they want. How did it Cleopatra? come to power by the way.
John: I think you killed someone
Adam: you must have killed a couple dudes, right?
John: I think it was the ASP.
Adam: asp
John: but who knows? I got another dish. Well, this is this is what you just said. disapply. So that this is the end, you didn't think this was gonna
start happening but Amazon now is taking part in book banning.
Adam: Banning or burning?
John: Come on? Well, banning is all they need. They don't need to burn. So replace this
Unknown: shopping giant made
the move quietly. The author said he wasn't notified and the company has offered no explanation. The book is called when Harry became Sally,
responding to the transgender moment. It's written by Ryan Anderson, president of the Washington based Think Tank ethics and Public Policy Center. He
learned about what happened when others told them they couldn't find the book on Amazon's platform. The book argues that the push to encourage those
who feel like a different gender to undergo sex change procedures is driven by ideology rather than sound medical advice. That's according to
Princeton University politics lecture,
Matthew Frank,
who reviewed it in 2018. The book disappeared around February 21. The same time Anderson published an op ed in the New York Post critical of a Biden
administration belt, if passed, the bill would add sexual orientation and gender identity as protected categories under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
According to Anderson, it would quote Vichy effects binary that is quite literally written into our genetic code. And it's fundamental to many of our
laws, not least laws protecting the equality, safety and privacy of women. Congress may act on the bill as early as this week. Good night left not
Adam: Wow, wow. Yeah, why not? Why not pay? You know, this is just going to drive people towards alternate alternative systems alternative
distribution. We don't need all the all these companies Amazon, it's all bugs. The network droughts around the
John: turtle optimist. I am I am. And now let's look at Let's take another look. Again, going back to the Chinese maybe they're got something to do
with this. Do you know about This debt and our UK listeners should be paying attention.
Adam: Oh yes. I do know about this the schools Yeah, I don't have clips though. That's good. I like it.
John: CCP buying UK schools.
Unknown: Hundreds of British schools are in danger of being bought by Chinese companies linked to the Chinese Communist Party or its military. The
pandemic has left British private schools in a dire financial situation. Experts anticipate a feeding frenzy of purchases by firms, some of which are
run by high ranking members of the CCP. The acquisitions will expand the ccps influence over Britain's education system and British newspaper The Mail
on Sunday reports There are currently 17 British schools owned by Chinese companies that number is expected to skyrocket. nine of those companies are
run by senior CCP members. Even before the pandemic Chinese companies were acquiring British schools. Some of the campuses already used state censored
versions of content about China and their curriculum as seen from Beijing's Confucius institutes. These versions claimed there's only one China and
that Taiwan is a renegade province of the mainland. They also mask human rights abuses, including those directed toward the Uighur ethnic minority and
conceal the crackdown on Hong Kong's freedoms. A professor from the University of South Carolina icones Business School tells us that the situation is
a concerning one for future generations.
The CCP will definitely control the content being taught it will
also bring it system of brainwashing into the schools.
Slowly the
CCP ideology will be imported into Western society, and the younger generation will grow up to welcome and support the CCP more and more. Yeah,
Adam: yeah, well see why not there in all our schools here might as well as by him, it's even better. Yeah, well,
John: I'm sure that that math situation is designed specifically to dumb us down to this day. part two of this.
Unknown: One Chinese company openly said that its acquisition of British schools is aimed at supporting China's controversial Belt and Road
initiative. It refers to an infrastructure project heavily criticized for trapping developing countries under heavy debt and using that to expand
Beijing's control overseas. on its website. It details plans to use its British schools to help boost China's global economic and political influence.
This by hoping expand Beijing's Belt and Road initiative to other countries. A key player in the school purchases is the bright scholar company. It's
owned by the daughter of young boys young, high ranking member of the ccps Advisory Council. That's one of the regimes most important Oregon's bright
scholar already owns four British schools. Another player is Chinese company Wanda group, its owner Wang Jian Lin is also on the ccps Advisory Council
and previously served in China's People's Liberation Army as a soldier. Wonder group also owns two British private schools. The pandemic has made it
even easier for Chinese firms to buy private schools in Britain, thanks to the sector severe lack of funding. enrollments have plummeted and fees have
been slashed, as pupils attend class from home. British boarding schools have reportedly seen fees fall by up to 35%.
Adam: British school good one yeah. I wanted to shift a little bit to what's happening in the mainstream. As we have a well the situation in Australia
seems to have been resolved between Facebook and the Australian news industry. But I think we need to discuss this because the way I see it and I've
got to jabroni is here from some mainstream sky. I think it is newscast about about the issue. I think this has gotten really I think the the the
prisoners of Australia have gotten a bum deal with this. Let's just listen to what the resolution is. You'll recall that the Australian government
said no, no, you can't just be using links from our news industry. And you have to pay and Google said okay, and Facebook said no and now well, we
have some kind of settlement a big win for the government and particularly Treasurer Josh frydenberg. I will read from this statement that we've
received from the treasurer. It says the Morison government will today introduce further amendments to the news media and digital platforms mandatory
bargaining code essentially goes through a range of amendments made there but the final line is the key. The government's been advised by Facebook
that it intends to restore Australian news pages in the coming days. Andrew the treasurer spoke to Mark Zuckerberg three times today, three times
yesterday. I'm advised. This is a big win for frydenberg. He's got Facebook
Unknown: back in to the table with the media companies,
very good news by the sound of things and the government reported last night, the government was confident they could get Facebook, back there. Even
last night, I was talking to some people in government who were a bit up and down on it, but just frydenberg was doing the work by the sound of
things. And I'm sure a lot of Australians would be happy to see those news sites back on Facebook and some of the amendments technical amendments such
as final offer arbitration, a last resort, it will be a last resort where commercial deals cannot be raised. So making it clear that any final offer
arbitration
Adam: is only at the last resort, Facebook, back to the bargaining table and Australian news back on Facebook, which is a great outcome. No, it's not
a great outcome. This is very strange situation. The government made a deal. And it's not on a per access basis. They said, Alright, just give our
media company some money. And I think it's 75 million Australian dollar reduce. And that's get split up amongst a couple of people. By the way, none
of the people who have residual deals with these newspapers for I see several photographers are saying Hold on a second, I'm getting gypped. I'm not
getting anything extra from this new distribution Avenue. In fact, I believe that this is being misused by the Australian Government to have only news
that they want to be passed around on face bag. You can't go up there as a little independent publisher and say, Where's my money? No, this is only
for the mainstream. And which really, I guess would be Murdoch and and and the government. broadcasting. But how is this good? I mean, they're all
jacked about, oh, this is fantastic. No, it's not.
Unknown: Not all about it.
Adam: The government, Australian government and the news media
John: money. Yeah. But it's not he jacked about it,
Adam: too. Yeah. But the Australians think that they won somehow you lost, get lost. You just never should have happened this way. Having him pay for
the news that the government designates Are you nuts. Good luck with that. Good luck with that. Meanwhile, back in the United States, there was a I
was looking forward to it, too. It was very disappointing. Yesterday and it was on it wasn't even on see spam. It was the commerce and education and
commerce as some stupid committee. And if you haven't noticed, there isn't a huge push right now to have Fox News removed from cable. Have you heard
about this? What they're doing? Oh, yeah,
John: no, this is a big deal. big push.
Adam: There are House of Representatives members who are writing letters to the cable companies saying you need to take this off of the air. And so
they had a session which was all on zoom. And it was called fanning the flames disinformation and extremism in the media. And the whole idea is you
cannot have people with this information on television. That should be eliminated. And it's even worse that people are forced to pay for Fox News even
though they don't really want it and and this is people going nuts over this. Yeah. We got to get him to remove Fox News. And and who shows up in this
conference, an old friend Soledad O'Brien that does she have a gig anywhere still or she consulted now? What is she doing? Because we know sola The
last
John: time I heard she was working at HBO doing sports reporting. And I think she didn't got a gig at MSNBC but her connection was to msnbc almost
forever.
Adam: Right. Now, you know, you worked with her were at MSNBC. Okay, I thought it wasn't she on tech TV is or a tech TV. No, no,
John: she was always he was on the site on msnbc which was a terrible site
Adam: right Right. Right. That's what it is. So she's there she's there expert who pops in the whole time and is competent just clipped about a minute
over so you can get an idea but again, what the heck people Stop the presses the press the media is the media leave it be Stop meddling.
Unknown: Patients make decisions based on ratings rather than responsible reporting. This information flourishes in dangerous ways. important
conversations are clouded scrutiny is reduced trust in our institution erodes.
So what to do about all this.
Let me be clear that Congress cannot and should not regulate journalism, in defiance of the First Amendment. But here's what we can do. Don't book
liars or advanced lies, cover fat the fact that lies and propaganda are being disseminated but do not book people to lie on your show, because it
elevates them and presents a lie Another side.
Adam: Wow, this is such insight solid dad. I mean, I'm glad I watched the whole session.
Unknown: Stop posing every story is having two sides. Some stories, in fact have many, many sides that are more complicated. And also lies don't have
a side. Take the time to unravel and report and give history and context. We as reporters are verifiers and
Adam: verifiers.
John: Here's the question for you. Or let me just predict what she's gonna say next. She's going to actually give some solid examples of what she's
claiming. She's gonna have a clip or something is showing is an example of some perfect I guess, is a professional liar or a gal comes on and
knowingly lies or somebody who are Trump.
Adam: I think that's what she means is nothing but a cavalcade of former spooks, FBI agents, former government officials, that's what's going by and
they all lie. But okay, this this is the big takeaway.
Unknown: Take the time to unravel and report and give history and context. We as reporters are verifiers, every perspective does not deserve a
platform media thrives on the open exchange of ideas, but that doesn't mean you have to book a neo nazi every time you book someone who's Jewish
balanced does not mean giving voice to liars to bigots and to coops.
Adam: There you go.
John: I disagree with her.
Adam: Me too. You need the Kooks.
John: I want to hear what these Kooks have to say. I want to hear it the neo nazis. I want to hear what he has to say. What defend himself. I want to
same with BLM. I don't think these are the most honest people in the world. I want to hear what they have to say I don't think this should be banned.
I don't think anybody should know is the guy's completely a nutcase a flat earther. I've still like to hear what he has to say I like to hear the
explanation for this crazy idea.
Adam: Does this not go against all journalistic kind of principles? what she's saying?
John: Yeah, I think so. I mean, it depends the today's journalistic principles, you know, are probably not what they were when, you know, 2030 years
ago, so I'm sure they teach is slightly different at the schools. If you look at that people are graduating now there. It's interesting. I've looked
on a couple mailing lists, and I get to see the graduating class from the Graduate School of Journalism at the University of California. And you look
at it at the group. It's all women. Yeah.
Adam: This is I'm telling you it's a it's a power grab women are gonna rule us. They want us out of the equation.
John: Well, some of them do, that's for sure.
Adam: Yeah, I'm I this would be great. Can we just be like really solid as one of them? Can we just be like the old, the old Egyptians and we'll just
go around just service our women all day and not have to work? I mean, I'm kind of all in on that.
John: Just say the word. Yeah.
Adam: Anna Eshoo from California and Jerry Mackey signed
John: off on all this. She's sickening this woman a shoe
Adam: their senior members of this the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on communications, and technology sent a letter today to 12 cable
satellite streaming TV companies urging them to come back the spread of misinformation and requesting more information about their actions to address
misinformation, disinformation, conspiracy theories and lies spread through the channels they host this is man podcasting is gonna be the last last
last bastion they're trying to cancel when
John: they get rid of am overnight or the show's called that I've always wanted to go on and no one can seem to get me a booking coast to coast. coast
to coast. That's all that is the whole show is and it's fascinating. It comes down at the right time if you're ever driving at night and I am
overnight right coast to coast great show to listen to it. You just listening to these people who are talking about people living in volcanoes in the
center of the earth. There's a just a lot of crazy stuff that is highly entertaining and what you want to get rid of that. Why?
Adam: Well, their concern is I think cable ROM said yes.
John: But they don't care about flying saucer discussions or a space aliens or lizard people. It's just Trump let's face it and probably right and
issue doesn't care about any of this other stuff needed is solely that who's also a Trump hater, I should mention. So
Adam: quick through podcasting bits.
Unknown: I
Adam: learned something new from Ben Shapiro. Ben Shapiro was on the Megyn Kelly podcast and I want to go on her show. We invitation
Unknown: to learn something new without rush there is no Fox News without rush there is no daily wire without rush. There are no podcasts
that rushing under the
Adam: weight of it. Rush Limbaugh now invented podcasts or
John: no, the new podcast rush there is no podcast. Is he nuts? Yes. Yes. I mean, I'll give rush limbaugh a lot of credit for changing some
landscapes, but that is just old crap.
Adam: In a blatant rip off of mo facts with Adam Curry, Spotify tries to hop on that ebony and ivory train and teams up Bruce Springsteen with Barack
Obama for a podcast.
John: Bruce Springsteen and
Unknown: former President Obama are co hosting a new podcast called Renegade born in the USA they are discussing a range of topics from race and the
State of America to marriage and fatherhood.
I grew up thinking my father was like, ashamed of his family. That was that was my entire picture of masculinity. Did you have to deal with that?
So my father leaves when I'm and I don't meet him until 10 years old when he comes to visit
suddenly in our house,
Adam: yeah, that's that's a
John: bunch of music behind it. Only an idiot would put all that music behind it because I can't understand a word they're saying. Why did you do
that? That is
Adam: the podcast.
John: Wait a minute, are you telling me with all the money they've got to do a podcast and all the financing they have over there Spotify and Bruce
Springsteen, knowing what good sound is. Maybe they put a bunch of loud music stupid music I might add Country and Western twangs over the discussion.
Adam: Did you hear the indirect miking? I thought that was even better? It's not like a nice close sound. No, it's like yeah, you
Unknown: know my father he was
Adam: and what what? I will give him one thing to call the podcast renegades born in the USA like I get the humor Brock I think that's pretty funny.
We all know Oh, no, no where you were born? Yeah, that's birtherism trolling right there. But you're right. I think it is all about Trump. When it
comes to the media and clubhouse is is now the hot things clubhouse and for the life of me I do not understand why people keep asking me if I want to
join them in the club
John: hi i at some guy did that to me. I said I want to join I want to see what did I want to check it out? I've been I joined parlor like didn't like
I thought it sucked. I joined gab I don't like it. I joined it the only thing I've liked in the recent memory of social networks is the is the no
agenda social. That's the only one that's kind of well you can't work very well can't get on
Adam: clubhouse because you don't have an iPhone.
John: Oh, is that right? It has to be iPhone. Only it's iPhone
Adam: only right now. What? Yeah, but I just don't understand why people are all jacked about it. Well, I do.
John: You can say that but I don't understand anything about it because I don't have I can't see it. I don't know what it does is it like Tick Tock
knows it like and no agenda social? Is it like gnarly? What's it like? Okay,
Adam: so it's audio only. And it's like one big audio zoom call. So you go in and there's all these different rooms and then you can go into a room
John: like Wait, is it anything like 777 date a girl? Late Night calls? Hi, boys. you're lonely tonight? Just give me a call of one 900 I am a whore.
Adam: That No, not at all. Now just know. So just imagine. Okay. Do you remember our Thanksgiving zoom call?
Unknown: Yeah, okay.
Adam: It's like that without video. Awkward, stupid. Oh my
John: God, that's useless.
Adam: And people go in there to listen to it. It's in a way it's part of people liking to listen to podcasts because they want to hear eavesdropping
want. Yes, he's dropping and then you can raise your hand maybe you but you'll be led in. And this is so popular that Mark Cuban immediately has
announced that he's doing something just like it only better and podcasting 2.0 just to make it even funnier. But I don't understand why if you have a
podcast, why would you go and do this for some Chinese technology company. iOS only and you're not getting paid for it. You just sit in there. Do
that. I don't know what what is the appeal? What am I missing? that a guy like Joe Rogan has to go in there and do that? What am I missing? Why
John: did Joe Rogan go into clubhouse
Adam: and this is where we get the Trump derangement syndrome. Joe Rogan with Tim Dylan, the Tim Dylan is kind of riding on Joe's coattails and he's
getting on all kinds of podcasts. He has his own podcast.
Unknown: And Lex
Adam: Friedman, and they're talking to the CEO of clubhouse who's also in this room. His name is Paul. And hilarity ensued. As far as I'm concerned,
Unknown: by the way, that's the million dollar question. When does Donald Trump show up? And this No, no. On this? Oh,
yeah. No,
Adam: no notice that Joe is will never have Trump on his podcast. That was kind of interesting. And why wouldn't you want Trump on your podcast? And
seems like it will be fun conversation, but okay.
Unknown: By the way, that's the million dollar question. When does Donald Trump show up and this No, no. On this?
Or this? Yeah. No.
Adam: Yeah. Is he allowed on here? He allowed on here.
Unknown: Silence all
we are community guidelines have rules against the spreading of misinformation or hate speech for anything related to that. And if he violated that,
then he would not be allowed on here.
Question Right. Yeah. How do you how do you define misinformation? Like if two of us degree who's misinforming?
I don't think that's the simple answer.
Oh, you're nervous as fuck, bro. That's the problem.
Yeah, full panic mode.
A lot of pausing.
I mean, look, Paul's my friend, but I'm gonna hold his feet to the fire because these are the important questions and he's gonna have to figure them
out because it's gonna happen.
Yeah,
Adam: and Bill Maher at the same time. The fact checking is how they're gonna Feder these conversations for sure.
Unknown: Yeah, what? Back checker like always on who's gonna jump in? No, I mean, people just gonna say what they're gonna say. And the listener will
have to figure out what's real and what's not. That's just how the world works. Nobody knows in advance what the truth is we need if we knew that,
then we wouldn't even need to talk.
Adam: How uninteresting is this. To listen to a bunch of guys on a phone call.
John: is like a conference call? Yeah. I think conference call baffled by
Adam: but you heard it. You heard it? Oh, no, no, we we have rules against misinformation and rules. Oh, yeah, you know what? We're gonna get
Unknown: locked and loaded.
John: So please, I got a I got a clip here. That is very interesting, because it's under the surface. It means a lot. It's somewhat ironic. And it was
I don't think is meant to do what it's going to end up doing. Because you remember those rules. They had these different kinds of local laws that if
you made a certain kind of a call to some area, you had a local law that you were violating the local law, if you if you call somebody in that
district, or there's the idea of doing local laws that affect everything, especially if it's on the internet. It's always been a danger. I mean, this
is why people you have to be careful when you put Nazi memorabilia up for sale. You get blocked in Germany. Yeah, sure. Well, there's a little this
could be even bigger. This is a big deal. If you really look into this. This is the political discrimination law that was passed in Seattle.
Unknown: Businesses located in Seattle may have to face anti discrimination lawsuits in the future, specifically anti discrimination for political
beliefs. Seattle has had laws on the books since the 1970s. That banned discrimination. In 1999. The city included a fair contracting ordinance,
business contracts cannot discriminate against political ideology. That's according to former political science professor john.
So Seattle is one of the only places in the United States that has banned discrimination in its civil rights laws based on political ideology.
Any company headquartered in Seattle is subject to this law. This includes big tech,
the biggest big tech company that's headquartered in Seattle is amazon.com. They basically anyone who's discriminated against by them can sue. So it's
not just a Seattle resident is not just a Washington State resident.
Last mentioned parlar Amazon Web Services hosted parlor and removed them after January 6.
parler, alleges that Amazon's representative to them raised all sorts of questions with them about whether Donald Trump was going to get a parlor
account. That's true that might provide evidence of political ideology discrimination.
According to West companies with the presence in Seattle may also be subject to the law. He listed Apple, Facebook and Google, Seattle and Washington
state residents that suffered discrimination may be able to take legal action against those companies
yesterday. This is not a symbolic law. The law allows punitive damages pain and suffering damages. It allows you know attorney fees it allows
injunction relief, it allows affirmative
There has been much discussion about how to have checks against big tech he has researched and written about the law to raise awareness of one
possible check. Reporting by Emerald Chung and TD News,
Adam: Washington man is this come from cheddar? Or news NTD.
John: This is out of horrible
Adam: crap. Oh, it's
John: just I'll tell you, there's two things. The Edit is crappy. But the sound compression is really
Adam: dying. I can see the waveform look pretty great. So just a straight
John: out it's like yours, right flat, flat. It's flat as a pancake. So it's very easy to amplify and drop off and do all kinds of things. But I think
this is a nobody's noticing this. This is a potential nightmare.
Adam: I mean, seems like you could sue anybody for anything then that case. I mean, it's good. Isn't it kind of subjective.
John: If you tie it into politics, cheese The idea was I'm sure when they passed this law it was all we got to make sure we
Adam: protect from Trump
John: I'm sure protect you he won't be able to let our people be communists if they're going to be contractors we can't discriminate against them so
they wrote this law. And but this goes in the opposite direction. I think that parlo has a case against Amazon. In fact, I think the clip we played
earlier about the book that was taken off yeah off of the shelf when Harry becomes Sally or whatever the name of it was. I think there's a lawsuit
there and punitive damages Yeah, you get the lawyers call up your lawyer let's go
Adam: Yeah, to me it's just I am so over it and this got to be more like me. Who cares? I've got all the social media I want I can get you taught me
where to get good D books. This there's so many different places to communicate and it who cares about all of this route around it already get a life
stop trying to be a successful influencer stop.
Unknown: The
Adam: there's something wrong with the human psyche. I've got to be where everybody else is clubhouse. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I wouldn't be on a conference
call. Wow. I I quit my job. So I wouldn't have to be on conference calls anymore. But that's just me. I'm gonna show my son moved by Jonah to no
agenda. Imagine all the people who could do with us. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
John: We do have a few people to thank for show 13 2024 Yeah. There's a 1331 I think coming up, that's gonna be interesting. Ooh,
Adam: palindrome nice.
John: That's a good one too. But I don't know if people are gonna get jacked up about it or not. Nicki and the lucky dogs $121.21 comes in first.
Adam: And she she had some kind of ordeal here didn't she?
John: Yes, she says I picked the lucky dogs from the vet I found they had a total of 33 teeth extracted Okay, so and then she says if Adam kicks in at
Penny donation amounts brings my total to 1000 she gets night as you get she she gets Dame no
Adam: less. And you got a penny right there.
John: I'm excited. We read these usually. Well, I'm excited to be climbing the ranks the only clever Dame named I've come up with this Dame air of
communism. When I ran it by the lucky dogs, they said most people wouldn't get it. I didn't get it. No, I didn't care of communism. You get it? No.
Thank you. We neither one of us get it. And then they started chanting Sure. In Japan in Inge full of novoed. canal syringe,
Adam: novo novo cane. Sir Innova indro syringe full of novo cane syringe full of Nova
John: swell little mounts. It was so cute. Where they're suggesting a knighthood because they think I'm a hero. Did they just want pain relief? I wish
I knew because they're dogs that do a lot of these people talk to dogs. I shall skip any clever names and just accept Dame Nikki of lucky dogs.

show.
Unknown: No one
Adam: no agenda meetups list is incredibly long as good. And well, you okay?
John: Now if the little Scarlet Phil off the shelf. Oh,
Adam: careful, careful with the Scarlet. No agenda meetup.com is where you can find out about the meetup. Now meetup is where people who listen to the
no agenda show in the same general geographic area get together? What is so special about it? I was thinking. Obviously, it's a place where you can
get together with people who are like minded in so far that no one's going to get triggered by something you say some opinion. In fact, they'll
probably take it in and say I think different. It's very civil. But the best thing is the diversity. Where can you get a lab technician just happens
to have time to sit and chat for 30 minutes with a truck driver? Where can you get a person who's in the military? who is sitting down and meeting
with someone who's in high technology? I mean, it's it's this these, these the cross between different groups of people who typically, you know, the
scientists would be with the scientists, maybe some of the truck drivers or the truck drivers now it's all inter inter merge. It's fantastic. That is
one of the great things you will meet people you probably wouldn't meet anywhere in your meal yo. And this also happened in Tennessee This is the end

that today. If you hurry up at six o'clock at the Houston tabletop games at T and victory or the Denver puro gi Palooza at six o'clock in King Gus
lounge or the TMI evac zone meetup in Harrisburg Pennsylvania 633 at crosswater or perhaps Charlotte, North Carolina at seven o'clock Triple C brewing

one on the list. Start one yourself. It's easy. No agenda meetups.com
do want to mention I made the top of 4chan yet. that you did. Yeah, the top of 4chan, for what? Well, you probably heard that the fedline, the Federal
Reserve financial network went down for several hours. And so this meant this does not this is not supposed to happen. acth transfers, you know, this
is a $4 trillion
Unknown: a day. And the deal is Yeah,
Adam: and so that went offline. And it was very, it was unclear as to what's going on. And so I tweeted, hey, it's no problem. This is just the
Federal Reserve. Now connecting to the XRP quantum financial services off worldlink put seems like an obvious thing. That's just a small glitch. Top
of 4chan. XRP just saved the Fed. Yes, this is it, boys. This is what I've been waiting for with with a link to my tweet. As if they're like, Oh,
yeah, this is totally happening. Yeah, we're switching to the new quantum financial services. Look, curry tweeted about it. It was a joke.
John: No, that's how that's how rumors get started.
Adam: Guys, it's happening. XRP and the Fed is gonna save us. nesara is another one.
John: I can't wait before you go too far off astray. Whatever happened to meetups.com. But they're
Adam: still in business, aren't they?
John: I don't know. I don't get any notifications of I joined joined about six or seven groups. I haven't gotten a meetup notification for months and
months and months and not on
Adam: meetup.com or meetup, calm,
John: whatever it is, I don't know. meetup.com. But we used to use it for the no agenda meetups, and it turned out to be just a terrible thing to do.
Yeah. And all these requirements you had. Yeah, it was unbelievable. Why would anyone use the system you should do in sourcing? Do it yourself. Don't
rely on these outside systems.
Adam: The no agenda phone comm tells me that the pixel 5g and the five are now supported by graphene. And Tim over there says you can disable the 5g
if that's all you could get. Just kind of nice, I guess.
John: Oh, nice. Yeah, it's good. Yeah, I am. A genius.
Adam: He is a genius. He is. Yeah,
John: it has to be about bad news clip. I want to get out of the way so we don't click play the good news clips later.
Adam: Okay, bad news. I see bad math.
John: Cry fries closes
Adam: Ooh, yes, this is happening here in the house as well.
Unknown: After 36 years, Fry's Electronics will be permanently closing all of its stores starting February 24. All stores will begin winding down
regular operations. Fry's operates 31 stores across nine states. It states that challenges during the pandemic and changes in the retail industry. Our
reasons for its closure
fries for many, many years. It's just unfortunate to see the business closing up now.
It's one of the few places you can get stuff. You know, like
walk in a retail giant sold software, consumer electronics, household appliances, computer hardware and other gadgets. Their stores were known for
being decorated in a variety of themes from the industrial revolution to Alice in Wonderland, regular customers were disappointed upon finding the
sudden notice this mine themed Fry's Electronics in San Jose is now officially closed. Customers who had their equipment being repaired here are asked
to email customer service to schedule a time for pickup.
John: Yeah,
Adam: yeah, an era an era gone by it's over.
John: I think that was mismanaged. I mean, I was in the Christmas of what it wasn't last Christmas and 2020 is 2019. I'd gone to a Fry's and reported
on it on the show and the thing was dead empty was falling apart as we spoke, I think they their management changes, something happened. And it was
because they could have done online just as well as anybody else. And they and you could go there and take an Amazon price on any item is added with
this price. I'll give it to you. Best Buy does that by the way. People should always go to Best Buy with some low prices and buy this stuff at Best
Buy. But it just was mismanaged or something they did wrong. And they dropped the ball they could have been on it could have had a bigger online
presence. They did repair which is a big deal. Nobody knows that. That's true. I used to go there all the time, because you go over there not only get
what you needed at a good price, but you could also find some other well it
Adam: was it was fun to shop. He was fun to browse a real shopping experience what I liked about it, yeah.
John: Something happened. I have a couple of clips and just by the way somebody listens to this show. They can tell me what the mismanagement was.
Adam: End of show ISOs I have let's see, I've got this
Unknown: one. I know where you live.
Adam: That's como. We have this one disinformation tornado. Kind of like that. I have this one.
John: Oh, good one. I like that one.
Adam: Yeah. Well, you got I think for me, the but
John: the Columbo one is turns out that's what he was like. Yeah. The guy's a gangster total douche. Yeah, I do have one. It's called vibrates.
Adam: vibrates. It even vibrates like real.
Unknown: Ooh,
Adam: I think we can do a twofer. Oh, oh, yeah. It even vibrates like real.
Unknown: Ooh, nice. We
Adam: got a twofer. Yeah, dynamite. Okay, let's see getting this out of the way just to make sure that we play it this is the a rare atom atom clip of
democracy now. But so irksome even I had the player
Unknown: the Federal Aviation administration's grounded dozens of Boeing 777 passenger jets after an engine failure on a United Airlines Flight
Saturday nearly led to disaster. The National Transportation Safety Board says a preliminary investigation found the engine manufactured by Pratt and
Whitney showed signs of metal fatigue. This follows two fatal crashes of Boeing 737 max jets and Ethiopian Indonesia that killed all 346 people on
board
Adam: clearly a Pratt and Whitney story but now let's let's make Boeing look stupid.
John: That was unbelievable. It's really not okay.
Adam: It's not journalists.
John: No, it's not okay. No, this is like the bad journalism you get from these these progressive news operations. I have one last clip.
Adam: Well, actually, this is not like this is the bad news. From these operations. It's not like my thing is good. It's horrible.
John: So they get this new CIA guy William burns. Yeah.
Adam: What do we know about this guy?
John: Well, he was a he was a mostly an ambassador. In fact, when he did his hearing, it said Ambassador on this little Well,
Adam: you know, every every embassy is, in effect, the CIA. You know,
John: that's where I'm going. He was not only that, any any embassy he was the ambassador to Russia. Now, if anybody doesn't think that's a CIA guy
that doesn't get their head screwed. Yeah, screws is gonna screw loose. And by the way, there's a new HBO No, Netflix, I believe. Yeah. Netflix series
called spy craft. Yeah. Kind of worth the watch. Okay. So this guy, this is a semi ironic presentation, because they make it seem when you listen to
this guy's background. It's like, Oh, yeah, this guy's spook, but they make it sound like they're finally bringing in an outsider. Nothing to do it,
the agency's gonna straighten things out. Wow.
Unknown: Biden's picked and had the CIA William burns spoke to the Senate Intel committee on Wednesday. He called the Chinese regime a formidable
authoritarian adversary that is strengthening its ability to do several heinous things. Here's burns.
There are however, a growing number of areas in which she's China is a formidable authoritarian adversary, methodically strengthening its capabilities
to steal intellectual property, repress its own people, bully its neighbors, expand its global reach and build influence in American society.
Byrnes worked as a US diplomat for 33 years. He's been an ambassador to Jordan and Russia, and he's held three senior positions at the State
Department. Now he is president of an international foreign affairs Think Tank. Senator Marco Rubio pressed burns on it,
Adam: this group that you partner with, you know, the China United States exchange Foundation, a congressionally appointed committee, the commission
in August of 2018, said that they showed a clear intent to influence policy towards China, in the United States. So given your stated concerns about
Chinese soft power influence efforts, why, while you were at the helm, did Carnegie Endowment for International Peace establish a relationship with
and accept funding from from this group this China United States exchange foundation?
Unknown: Here's how it burns whom the Senate's already confirmed for various roles five times now responded
on the China us exchange foundation. This is a relationship that I inherited when I became president of Carnegie and that I ended Not long after I
became president precisely for the concerns that you just described, because we were increasingly worried about the expansion of Chinese influence
operations.
Byrne said if he's confirmed four priorities will shape his approach to leading the nation's preeminent spy agency. Those are China technology, people
and partnerships. The nominees set out competing China is key to US national security in the years ahead. And he said that will require a long term
clear eyed bipartisan strategy underpinned by domestic renewal and solid intelligence. Burns received bipartisan support from the lawmakers on the
committee. It seems he is set to be confirmed as the first lifelong diplomat to be the director of the CIA.
Adam: Nothing against Russia though. Hmm, that's odd. Yeah, nothing
John: is rushed. But he did mention the word partnerships. That means that a little operation here in Silicon Valley is going to be doing a lot of
investing. That's what that means. Yeah. So you get this new guy, you know, he said to hack, probably do as good a job as pompeyo did. Probably better
than Gina.
Adam: Is she even alive? Did she ever make it out of Frankfort when they shot her? Hey, we are coming up on March 4, March six.
John: Yeah, that's when he's gonna be. He's gonna be sworn in.
Adam: less funny, although to us hilarious. What did we talk about when 23andme first started? When did we think this was a good idea? To get your DNA
John: many people not put themselves in the database voluntarily?
Adam: Yes, because anything could happen. Lo and behold,
Unknown: have you ever sent a genetic test to 23andme? To find out more about yourself? Well, I have some bad news for you them because that company
is now merging with a corporation called VG acquisition Corp, a special purpose acquisition corporation that falls under the umbrella of Richard
Branson's Virgin group translation. Your genome now belongs to Richard Branson, and he's gonna do whatever the hell he wants with it.
Adam: I love this ain't a speck no less of all the places to have your data resurface.
John: It? Did this has always been a problem with Oh, don't worry about Don't worry about Don't worry about it. We got it covered in the contracts.
What did you get? And I always ask the question, What if you get bought out by some other company that doesn't give a crap about all these provisos,
and now it's, well, you know, we don't expect that to happen.
Adam: And now it's not just a company that does and doesn't give a crap. It's a company that isn't actually a company. Back Can you explain this back
because I don't know, if everyone understands what an incredible
John: acquisition Corporation they're set out there. They're the only way to describe it as like a pre revert, it's a reverse merger turned into an
acquisition company. And it works by by doing it starts with a reverse merger. So you find some companies worth 10 cents on the dollar, just like you
buy it, you can buy the whole company for like 100 grand, because it's just a dead company and all they have a stock so you get the stock. And then
you get investors to all come in, you put you sells shares in this thing, you say what you're gonna do, I'm gonna buy these guys. And then you get all
these investors in 10s of millions of dollars and run the price of your company up to about 10 bucks a share. And then you go out looking for your
your acquisition, you work some deal out one way or the other with an acquisition, usually through some nice booking bookkeeping, right? And then the
stock, the spec company's stock skyrockets. Like this is a real quick way to make like, five or six baggers, just like in weeks is the people who do
who follow these specs in our day traders, that did they love this environment? It's not gonna last forever.
Adam: Maybe we should have our own spec.
John: We could we could easily do it.
Adam: Yeah, we'll just say we're investing in
John: Spotify.
Unknown: Yeah,
Adam: yeah. We could do that. We could sit back.
John: Well, news, find some guy knows how to set this up. And then we need to, I would, and I don't like to use the word crooked bookkeeper. But while
I but I'll use the word creative bookkeeper. And I've known a few and boy, are they talented? Couple of those guys who can do leveraged buyouts and do
these kinds of that kind of thing. Do these banks use a lot of why don't use which is good. We
Adam: set up a spec whose only job is to buy other specs, like a metal spec. Now,
John: you can't do that. That's too bad, can you because this,
Adam: oh, they're already public is harder to do that right?
John: Well, it's not that's not the reason is that because the spec doesn't prove itself until it actually does this purchase this skyrockets not
worth the price is too expensive. You want to do what the specs are doing and you don't want to get a different kind of meta spec called medicine. You
