Your Bong Water people.
Adam curry,
John C. Devorah.
Sunday March 15 2020. This is your award winning get my nation
media assassination episode 1200 25 This is no agenda.
Beware the Ides of March and broadcasting live from
opportunity's own 33 Here in the frontier of Austin, Texas
capital of the drone Star State in the morning, everybody. I'm
Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where their freeways are
deserted. I'm John C. Devorah. Raglan Buzzkill.
I admit I'm loving the traffic switch. Yes. The traffic search
is the best. It's already good. Wow. Hey, so we, we were talking
on Thursday how we were so surprised about all this panic
shopping. I hadn't seen it. You hadn't seen it? But I guess it
none of that happened until after the president's disastrous
Wednesday evening performance. Which apparently was written by
Jared Kushner.
Well, that explains a little bit
explains a lot. We're
trying to read it. But I don't believe this is true. That it
was written by Jared, and no buts about this happening after
the announcements. Well, everything's starting to sell.
I'm a timestamp on when he did Thursday. Well, he did it
Wednesday evening. And then Thursday. Okay, with the
National Emergency was called on Friday.
No, I know. I know. But the the nutso buying of products because
I went out shopping Friday. And I here in Austin as well. I ran
into empty shelves. So it kind of I think it right after the
President did that crappy d minus performance. That's when
people went and then the stock market was dropping. I think
that's what happened and it went up. No. We're talking about
Thursday, Thursday, Friday. Friday. It skyrocketed, of
course.
So we have the so we had here. A and I had gone to the store the
day before and it was after Trump's thing, but it wasn't. It
wasn't it didn't seem to be the disaster. It was on Friday. No,
on Friday, we had an incident reported in the news. The
traffic is backed up on the freeway. Like backed up on the
freeway for as far as the eye can see and I thought it was
erect eyes or rackets Correct. Somebody wrecked at no and it
turned out to that traffic was backed up for the purpose of
going to Costco which
is yes, we had the same at some of our cost goes but on Friday
not not like
Costco what is Costco done to the public? They hypnotize
people?
Well, first of all, Costco has big carts, which is makes you
feel good and powerful because we're going to get lots of
stuff. I went I went to the supermarket. And indeed We had
no paper products, no cleaning products, and no frozen food.
Lots of fresh produce low on potatoes. But I lived in line
for about an hour and I just looked at what everyone was
buying John, to two things. One, this was around two o'clock
Austin time. So people were on their phones watching the
President in the Rose Garden. This was kind of surreal. Their
wall Yeah. President's talking. Yeah, he's doing this is how you
hear. Yeah, he's doing the State of the Union. This is I that's
when I realized oh, curry you're way too. You know, way too much
about this stuff. This is the level that people understand.
He's doing the State of the Union. Okay. But they have 15
bags of chips. five boxes of elite brand mac and cheese. All
these no can no tuna fish. Normally, they can't sell the
tuna fish. And tuna fit. And the only thing that was left was
colorful boxes that look like they might be Asian that contain
some tuna fish can or something. But the great toilet paper scare
is a fractal. This is a fractal of 1973. And I was living in the
Netherlands. So I don't recall it. But maybe you do. In 73
People started to freak out and buy toilet paper because Johnny
Carson cracked a joke about it on The Tonight Show.
Actually, I read the same mark. There's actually it predated
that Carson cracked a joke because it was in the newspaper
wasn't newspaper. Yes. Right. So somebody had announced and I
don't know where, by the way, and I just read this and to kind
of answer your earlier question that I might remember this. I
don't remember this, but okay. All right. Okay. I don't even
know that it happened. But maybe that's where my mom's thing came
from. It might have started right there. And
that's the first thing I was thinking of 1973 That would be a
time when your mom might have said well, the Chinese and it
was a Chinese thing wasn't it was the one Japanese and
Japanese shortage I think,
well there's a shortage somewhere and then Carson made
some comment and then there was all over and it became according
to the same article or one of the articles like you read, it
became like a big thing. I don't know if there's it is a fractal
of that. But well, here's here's what the triggering mechanism
here's the fractal. We go to Stephen Colbert. Procter and
Gamble says 17,600 products could be affected by Coronavirus
in China over 17,000 products including Charmin Dawn bounty
and Crest toothpaste. So get ready to start brushing your
teeth with a hygiene product still made in America.
Jack Daniels
i It's possible that he may have kicked that off. That was the
beginning of the week.
It may be possible possible something kicked it off, but it
did mania about it is laughable. Yes.
It's not laughable. It's sad. It shows you how well how
dysfunctional people are.
Minimally and the thing is, they're not nobody's ever even
thought to stop manufacturing toilet paper. And as I've
mentioned, when we talk about toilet paper, which we
apparently do have once a year or so, the because I talked
about z, the brand z and i Since I get some toilet paper from
Grocery Outlet, mainly because that goes to Zephyr Let's go
123456788
economy stable all things normal. We're gonna.
Eight is short, it should be nine.
Oh, I thought, Oh, you're right. Nine is no, we are short economy
down economy down the down economy down economy down only
eight cars on the Zephyr
now. So I realize by doing that and buying it at this place,
there are probably 100 separate brands of toilet paper. And I
don't know how many come in from China, which seems unlikely is
kind of a waste of theirs or just kind of a stupid thing to
do. But there's a lot of different. Nobody is stopping
the manufacturing of toilet paper anytime soon. If not If
there's not a glut on the market, so the people who went
out and bought bushel baskets full of toilet paper, it's just
it's beyond comprehension. I think there's a there's an OP
going on.
Well, before we get to ops, let's listen to our Secretary of
the Treasury and fellow Tourette sufferer, although he's much
better at suppressing it Stephen Minuchin.
Only recently,
I know but I gotta get his tips. I gotta figure out what he's
doing.
I think he's being injected.
He has he still has it, I can see it. When a question comes.
He does. He moves his head and his neck a certain way. And of
course, I recognize what that is. It's a stifled tick. But
he's good at it. And he weighed in, of course on the economy.
And very interesting as we kind of thought this buying would
would affect the overall economy. And it has there's
there's areas of the economies that have been hurt very hard,
immediately, there's area of the economy is is the best thing
that's ever occurred. So as you said, people are shopping from
the data I have from the credit card companies who've seen as
although travel spending is way down, spending on supplies,
food, medical pharmacy has almost offset that in the short
term. And again, any supply chain issues. The taskforce is
focused on and we'll be dealing with don't see that as a major
problem at the moment. I think as you know, people were
concerned about China, China's opened back up China Open for
Business. And thank you for helping the economy, the overall
economy, of course, because it's starting to hurt. And have you
noticed this? I don't know if the same with you. I'm getting
emails and texts and calls from lots of friends and families
like I'm some Oracle now. Like, hey, what's going on? Do you
know what's happening? The kid came home from school saying
from his, you know, heard that China created this to kill us
all. Yeah, so this isn't this. Yeah, this is what's happening
with 1112 year old kids, the hearings of school. So everybody
needs to feel somewhat better.
Anything at school around here. School has been closed.
Yes. And as I have family in Italy in feud Enza Willow and
everything is there not freaked out at all? Of course, your
husband who's an entertainer will have no work for Leeton
he's had no work for two weeks, so probably no there for more.
Cuz he is a comedian and he performs in public so that's
done. And it's just kind of a ghost town to say People just
aren't really going out except to go to the grocery store or
pharmacy Yeah or if you need to drive to work restaurants and
bars curfews Tiffany in the Netherlands and Christina of
course in Rotterdam Rotterdam is is really completely shut down
and they're expecting curfew to be installed by this weekend so
they say oh this coming weekend maybe even sooner and the shit
and then the shelves there is ready to just the panic is real
in the lowlands people are flipping out and just buying
anything that they're buying the shelves gonna buy the shelf I
think I might need a shelf give me the shelf I want to shop by
the shelf and you know the there's no one calming anybody
down is no one doing any good well actually I I thought and if
you saw the whole rose garden should be no by the President.
As bad as the Wednesday night was I gave this a solid A
finally finally he does what he's good at doesn't use the
prompter comes out with his his kind of people, the CEO from
Walmart from target from Walgreens. What I'm missing
their CVs. He's got all the big guys and Hey, Don, come over
here. Okay, Pete, you get right, Pete, you got this under
control. And he had he had it together, finally. And he was
also not taking any shit from some of the reporters if someone
just kept dragging on about did you take a test? Have you been
tested? And he just had the mic taken away from him but didn't
didn't do his typical Shut up your fake news. The best though,
which you didn't see on your evening news? Because why would
you? We were too obsessed with claiming the president lied.
Google isn't doing anything. Google isn't building a website.
By the way. How about the president giving a shout out for
Google? Yeah, we just had, we had Google build the website,
which we'll see slips in a little political bullcrap. Which
doesn't happen with every website launch by the
government. Okay, that was unnecessary. But then it was
that was I hate it when he does that. But then he brought on the
promise
he's done it. He does it too much. Now he doesn't need to do
it. And he doesn't
need to. So he brought on Deborah bricks. VRI EC Burks.
I'm sorry, b i r x. She's State Department ambassador at large.
And she has she was in government starting with the
Bush administration, PEPFAR. She is the I'll just call her the
AIDS czar as she has shepherded that throughout the Bush
administration, Bush to through Obama, and still on board with
the Trump administration. And she laid out and said this. It's
a little bit longer clip three minutes, but she lays out
exactly what happened. Exactly. Because all we've heard is we've
got no kids. We're not testing. Trump is killing us. Oh, wait, I
should actually play the Lawrence O'Donnell clip. Let me
see. Where's that? Douchebag Here we go. This is Lauren. So
this is your mainstream media.
More people are sick in America tonight. Because Donald Trump is
president more people are dead and dying in America tonight.
Because Donald Trump's president,
no more people are dead and dying because of Donald Trump.
Thanks, Larry. We feel really horrible now. So Burks comes
out. And she I think she explains it incredibly well. She
even addresses the fact that it may have been confusing for the
press and for people at home. But he and she has actual
credibility. And she in the age days and the heyday of the AIDS,
although we've learned that age still kills 2000 people a day
worldwide. She was always up front and center. She's very
well respected man. Of course, that's why no one talks to her
no one interviews or they don't even put this segment on
television. But I think this really tells you what is going
on and where we're at.
Dr. Burks, please.
Thank you, Mr. President. Tom. It's a pleasure to be here with
all of you. I think, you know, at the beginning of this
epidemic, HHS through CDC proactively developed an assay
built on the existing flu surveillance system. That
surveillance system was then converted to diagnostic system.
But last Tuesday, seeing the spread of the virus around the
globe, the president realize that our current approach to
testing was inadequate to need to meet the needs of the
American public. He asked for an entire overhaul of the testing
approach. He immediately called the private sector laboratories
to the White House as noted and charged them with developing a
high throughput quality platform that can meet the needs of the
American public. We are grateful to LabCorp and quest for taking
up the charge immediately after the meeting. And within 70
hours, 72 hours bringing additional testing Access
particularly to the outbreak areas of Washington State and
California and now across the country. We are also very
grateful to the universities and large hospital systems that took
up the charge develop their own quality tests made available by
new DEP new FDA guidance. This has resulted in expanded testing
across New York, California, Washington, Colorado. And you
see sometimes those drive thru options that have been made
available through these high throughput options. Following
the meeting last week, major commercial laboratory equipment
and diagnostic companies took immediate action to adopt and
develop new testing systems. Last night, the initial company
Roche received FDA FDA approval moving from request to
development to approval in record time. And less than two
weeks together, we have developed a solution that we
believe will meet the future needs testing needs of
Americans. I understand how difficult this has been, I was
part of the HIV AIDS response in the 80s. We knew from dying from
first finding cases in 1981. It took us to almost 1985 to have a
test. It took us another 11 years to have effective therapy.
It is because of the lessons learned from that that we were
able to mobilize and bring those individuals that were key to the
HIV response to this response. I understand that lot of this
behind the scenes action over the last couple of weeks was
invisible to the press and the American people. But this
intense effort has not only resulted in innovative
solutions, but an automated high throughput single system,
bringing the availability of these quality Coronavirus
testing to the American people at unprecedented speed. Finally,
I want you to know in South Korea, they did have large
number of tests available over the last several weeks, their
positivity rate is between three and 4%. With LabCorp and quest
expanded testing, their positivity rate is between one
and 2%. So we want to also announce this new approach to
testing which will start in the screening website up here,
facilitated by Google where clients and patients and people
that have interests can go fill out a Screening Questionnaire
moved down for symptoms or risk factors. Yes, they would move
down this and be told where the drive thru options would be for
them to receive this test, that labs will then move to the high
throughput automated machines to be able to provide results in 24
to 36 hours. That is the intent of this approach. We have seen
it work just in our own United States. And we want to bring
this across the continent. Thank you very much.
So a couple of things we learned. I think none of this
was reported except for the Google is going to build the
website which agency the troll room, people believe that that's
not true. That Google, of course, came out and said yes,
we are doing that. It's through our act via one of our companies
that they acquired. And we have Google engineers who volunteered
to get this up and going by Sunday, but that's what the
press focused on.
Well, actually they focused on something else. In addition to
that
if he was tested or not.
Well thought
out three things.
Number three, this is Trump's slamming slamming your niche el
sindoor. PBS really played this up but all the other places did
to saying that her question was nasty. So he's a racist.
Oh, of course, it's yummy. What do you think? Of course, she's a
racist. He's a racist. We know
because she says use the word nasty. And she and we're on PBS
NewsHour, they and I don't know when this started because
reporters aren't supposed to be part of the news. But the news
crews nowadays on the various networks, the big networks, they
put the camera on the reporter asked, Do you see their
reporter? Yeah, they never you know, their reporter asking the
question, so they have the camera on you. Yeah, mish and
she's asking the question. You shut down the the pandemic unit
and it's just reasonable. We're so far behind and that you know,
what you?
Did they have an answer for that, because I've looked into
it. And I know exactly what happened.
Well, you can tell us what happened after I tell you what
the President said he's kind of passed it off saying you know,
these other people have done things. It's got nothing to
really you I know where you're blaming me for that was a nasty
question. Because it was it was a nasty question. In terms of
just ambush question. Yeah. And that became the big news.
Right. So what actually happened is it was John Bolton that
reorganize that.
Yes. Was blamed he mentioned Bolton Yeah.
But what happened was pandemic was replaced with the the
chemical Buy and buy a weapon team. So it was a replacement,
upgrading in my mind to something much better. And so in
the 2018, the same timeframe that the documents in the show
notes, you can see the entire layout for the bio weapon team
that replaces the pandemic team. So and that sounds like
something Bolton would do that makes a lot of sense. But what
we're hearing now from Dr. Burks is the entire system was not set
up for this type of testing. And also people really have some
kind of fantasy about, you know, you just swab your cheek and,
and you're good to go. And you beep you get a green light or a
red light, you know, it's not like 23andme DNA tests spit in
the tool. It is actually it comes back faster than the
23andme. But it's not an immediate test. And apparently,
it took a little while to get the test to be right. Which of
course is just an outrage and people have died because of
this, but the CDC failed. And Trump did something very
interesting. Key went something almost straight from a socialist
playbook. Actually, you gotta be you gotta keep your eye on it.
He said, All right, let's bring in everybody else. And he said,
and in Europe, the word is oh my god only in America when they
come up with a genius idea of a drive through testing. You have
to understand this is unique to the United States. Drive Thru
hamburgers was a big deal in the 70s when we heard about it over
in Europe. So this so we look like like the coolest people in
the world. We're going to do that in a drive thru format. And
that's really an important thing. Because you don't you
don't want to fill up the doctors offices hospitals in ers
with people wanting to test
the drive thru is a great idea. That's genius. But I don't know
if they still have this in Texas but they used to have drive thru
liquor stores and beer vendors
don't know of any especially around this these parts. You
know, we have Sunday, you can't even sell liquor. So it's I'm
sure it's a weird. But I was encouraged by hearing that. And
also a South Korea, remember we talked about these numbers would
probably be the numbers that would matter. And they had sure
they had tests, but their tests gave worse results than our
test. Could artists be fixed rig bugged? Whatever? I don't know.
I don't think so. So the test is getting better, it
could be bad.
Flattening the curve, though, I think we kind of nailed that
one. I heard that over and over this past week, flatten the
curve, we got to flatten the curve. And that's kind of
expected and predicted people have started to hunker down a
bit. I think it's gone a bit too far. But retail is cutting hours
restaurants, we went out to a restaurant last night we're
pretty much empty, although other ones were full, and they
think it kind of kind of hit and miss, but just trying to keep
the economy going. And one other thing from this rose garden
speech kind of set me on a path of looking at a couple of
things. And I want to discuss that. Here's what the President
said about the virus, Americans
are the strongest and most resilient people on Earth. And
of the coming weeks, we will all have to make changes and
sacrifices, but the short term sacrifices will produce long
term gain. And again, I've said we're learning a lot for the
future and future problems like this or worse or worse, it could
get worse. The next eight weeks are critical, we can learn and
we will turn a corner on this virus. Some of the doctors say
it will wash through it will flow through interesting terms.
And very accurate I think you're gonna find in a number of weeks,
it's going to be a very accurate term.
Alright, so when Trump says these things, I pay attention
when he says book eight weeks, he's putting real numbers out
there I didn't see this clip played anywhere either eight
weeks and they say look a number darker say it's gonna wash over
it could be just a couple of weeks and that's what the
doctors say that could turn out to be pretty accurate. You're
gonna see I mean, he couldn't message it any stronger. And I
was looking around at the you know, because of course this
this comparison between influenza and what it does and
how many victims it takes every year and versus the Coronavirus,
the symptoms, etc. And it's very hard to go back and find stuff
in any of the search engines. Google is useless actually, if
you want to find something from even a few months ago that
contain the terms influenza, or sick or anything like that. And
the first one I hit was Time Magazine from January 16. And
this was a weird flu suit flu season. It turns out then time
will time the rag says flu season has always unpredictable
different viral strains circulate each year which makes
forecasts in a DCE. the disease's spread and formulating
the annual flu vaccine and educated guessing game. Even so
the 2019 2020 flu season has been particularly unusual.
Influenza B the viral strain that usually circulates toward
the end of flu season instead emerged first this year shifting
usual transmission patterns. A vaccine Mitch Matt mismatch and
reduced immunity to influenza B may have contributed to the
early and severe start of this flu season. But what all
articles say including this one is that it would be milder than
other years, the CDC itself and see what is the date of this
publication. They published what to expect for the 2019 2020 flu
season. And this page was last reviewed on March 13. So it's
still accurate. And let's just look at the numbers for a
moment. CDC estimates that from October 1 2019, remember it
started early this flu season through March 7 2020. There have
been to not there will be there have been 36 million to 51
million flu illnesses 17 million to 24 million flu medical visits
370,000 to 670,000 Flu hospitalizations in my favorite
22,000 to 55,000 Flu deaths. So this is this has happened in
this period that we are just looking back on these numbers
could have could have easily been reported as something
incredibly scary 22 to 55,000 deaths. I mean, that's that
those are scary numbers if you hype it up the way this has been
going. But it hasn't. But what we do see if you go back to
January now, January 25, or 23rd is when the news first started
reporting it here in the US seriously with deaths in China
in that month, and I remembered it because of my daughter. My I
had something in December. But if you go back and look in
timelines, people's timelines on twitter or just any friends,
you'll see that they had a lot of them had flu like symptoms,
felt like crap went to the doctor diagnosed with influenza
but did not test positive with an influenza test told to go
home took about 10 days and they felt better. I have a feeling
personally listening to the messaging from the President and
looking at the numbers that this thing has already washed through
us. And the only reason why it appears to be building is
because we're testing. We're testing. Oh my god. But you
can't tell me that this only we only have these cases now. After
this was already killing people in January. We have direct
flights from Wuhan, to Toledo, Ohio. Interestingly enough
100,000 cases predicted to be in Toledo, Ohio, why? Well, there's
a million Chinese coming back and forth all year with all the
factories that they that's what American factory the Obama
documentary is about about that exact area in Ohio. To my
feeling is the symptoms, she of course is going to kill people
just like the flu, you've got the numbers. I think it's
already people have already had I think it may have come and
gone it just looks like it's incredibly bad because the
numbers are now starting to come in from testing. And we probably
have 3040 50 million people infected. Most have no symptoms,
some get some symptoms. Some people died like the flu.
We have to remember that the corona virus is not alongside of
rhinoviruses, that is the cause of the common cold.
Thank you. And that
seems to have been lost in the shuffle.
Well, and so back to your up. Yes, this I think this is an OP
from multiple, multiple angles. This is financials show me the
money that must be made right now in the markets for some must
be astronomical. If you know what you're doing. You've got to
be cleaning up. I mean this and we've we've got to have
acquisitions coming soon in their companies, you know, down
to a buck to Nokia. Nokia is like a buck and a half can buy a
share of Nokia. This is going to be accurate. It was already on
the on the acquisition block. So there's all kinds of stuff
that's going on there. Control is is my fear. We see now in
Israel. They have an app encouraging all citizens to
download the app where you you report of course it tracks you
and it's very, very open about it. It tracks you Do it then. So
that you can say, Okay, I've either I'm in quarantine I've
had it I have it, you know, you show up on the map. And if
you're walking around somewhere in Israel, and you're you go and
you you are virus free and you come in proximity of someone who
might have it you know your phones go boop boop boop boop
boop careful citizen warning Will Robinson danger. So there's
a lot of tracking that will be put into place. This is the
surveillance, the way they the way they speak about it. Who
knows what else will will come with this, but this is the Never
let a crisis go to waste moment. And I think we're going to only
when this subsides a bit, when we find out exactly what it has
been put in place. There are things we could talk about the
Green New Deal in Europe in a minute, but I just cannot see
this as the panic driven crisis. That is as being explained to us
and you know, I like Dr. Drew. And it's he's trying to sound
the same bell I guess, hit the same message. Here he is on the
CBS. So you've seen pandemics
over the decades? How does this one compare with a bad flu
season is 80,000 dead? We've got about 18,000. Dead from
influenza this year, we have 100 from Corona, which should you be
worried about influenza or corona? 100 versus 18? Because
it's not a trick question. And look, the everything that's
going on with the New York cleaning the subways and
everyone using Clorox wipes and get your flu shot, which should
be the other message, that's good. That's a good thing. So I
have no problem with the behaviors. Whatever problem with
is the panic and the fact that businesses are getting destroyed
and people's lives are being upended, not by the virus, but
by the panic, the panic must stop and the press, they really
I somehow need to be held accountable because they are
hurting people. And I could just see it the way the innuendo in
the in the every every opportunity for drama by the
press was was twisted in that direction. We give an example.
So the World Health Organization is out now saying the fatality
rate from the virus is 3.4%. Right? Every every publication
from the who says 3.4%. And we expect it to fall dramatically.
Once we understand the full extent of the illness. No one
ever reports the actual statement, right? You got 3.4%
It's 10 times more than one five times more than the flu virus.
And yeah, it's gonna be a little more flu probably.
So Dr. Drew, trying to bring some sanity? I don't know if
people trust him anymore. Do you think they still have some trust
in Dr. Drew?
No, nobody cares. They're just out to get to worry about the
toilet paper. Let me just go back to that comment of his
about the press. I have some clips. I have a second
one from him about the precedent and then we'll play that real
quick. And then we'll hear you're sure.
I think there was it was a concerted effort by the press to
capture your eyes and in doing so they did it by inducing panic
there's illicit the CDC and the who they know what they're doing
they contain pandemics that's how they know how to do an
amazing job amazing. Listen to them. What about
the global implications this because we were talking off
camera about Italy there's
China's well there's some little outbreaks where you should avoid
right there. There are there's I would I would look at where the
flu is breaking bad too. I I end up getting the bird flu. I got
each one NY Oh really. And it was horrible. It was no fun. I
wanted to have that. Well, that was 10 years ago and that was I
was really sick for about two weeks. really sick. And no fun.
Were you talking about bird flu? Like you're talking about
growing up? I was nine that's
no longer about the press. Okay.
First of all, Saturday's PBS newshour was tree cirfairy knew
his name. He halfaya half hour on Saturdays. It started by
Corona. It ended with Corona it was an entire show. Corona.
Corona. Yeah, I'm sure. So the national on Friday, which is
Canadian, Canadian is top news show. It's their CBC News Hour,
it's an hour. It was one whole hour of reporting about Corona
in one way or another. There was nothing else there was not one
single other story for the entire
day. And what makes you think this is a national what makes
you think this is some kind of an operation? Why would you even
consider that
now, but I did get some clips from Canada, which are kind of
interesting. Mainly because there's one fractal in there but
there's a Canadians they stare panicky, and you have to realize
that they was well click play this first clip is that no
travel clip number one? Intro no trouble.
Okay, I see what you're saying.
COVID-19 has impact on Canada's getting wider the number of
cases nearly 200 So far, and its impact on our lives, our
communities, and our work is already massive. The concern now
that this outbreak in this country has only begun.
I know that you're worried you're worried about your
health, about your family's health, know about your job,
your savings, about paying rent, and not the kids not being in
school.
After a week of chaos from the stock market to supermarkets,
the federal government says help is coming but also advises
Canadians not to leave the country unless absolutely
necessary to 200
Yeah, well, let's get real 193
Oh, he was exaggerating. That's what
pleases almost two. Okay.
As an aside, just came out today, the UK, police will have
power to arrest people. If you're an and this is what if
you are on the street and you are a virus carrier? Do you
remember the Lisbon Treaty? This is one of the things that cannot
get out of the out of the EU. The EU Lisbon Treaty. If you
recall, one of the things that actually got me started on the
path of eventually winding up talking to you about this stuff,
which led to the show was the protocols for the Lisbon Treaty
which said authorities in the EU or the EU authorities will have
the power to arrest people and detain them if they have
communicable diseases, which was not even defined. I mean, it
could have been I think we might have even joked on the show that
Well, you got the cold bless you, I'm arresting you. Now
these things are going to come back to people all of a sudden.
That's a good one. Not if you're in the EU, it's not
a Now here's an Andreeva plate clip to the second part of that
clip.
Tonight we'll look at Ottawa is plan to control the spread of
the virus and to support the economy, including the growing
list of restrictions and cancellations and how panic is
making a hard situation even harder from grocery stores to
diagnostic testing. Considering how quickly things are changing,
many of you are on edge and have lots of questions. While today
we got some answers and warnings today from the federal
government. David Cochran begins our coverage from Ottawa.
The Prime Minister is fighting this virus on three fronts his
family's health, the health of Canadians and the health of the
Canadian economy.
We will be supporting the economy and Canadians through
this time.
Because his wife tested positive Trudeau will work from isolation
as his government tries to stop the contagion.
Today, my advice is to postpone or cancel all non essential
travel outside of Canada.
No Canadians should leave the country. While the government
will limit the ways travelers can enter the country,
international rivals from certain regions will land only
at a few specified airports. This will enable us to
concentrate our precious resources for our Border
Services officers and for our public health officers.
Cruise ships are banned until at least July they won't be allowed
to go to the Arctic at all because of the lack of health
facilities in the North. The border however, stays open as
evidence shows a border shutdown doesn't work.
I think what we have to remember is it viruses don't know
borders, a border is not going to contain the virus.
Parliament closed until late April MPs of all parties not
wanting to be part of the problem when they visit their
writing
this globalist piece of crap. Borders don't stop viruses.
Yeah, if you stop the flights they do. If you stop people from
walking across them, it certainly helps. Am I nuts? What
am I just not a globalist?
You're not a globalist brother. Well, I mean, they stopped if
they wanted, they want nobody leaves the country. They went
the screen all the flights coming and that's kind of like,
you know, and then but the border should be open. I don't
Yeah, this is your right. Is this part of the let's have all
the borders open? Let them walk in from Ecuador.
Well, you know, you put me on the path man, when you got that
John Hopkins, who actually ran the event 201 pandemic exercise,
that guy is now the expert and talking to God knows whoever
within the media. But they're their paper, as you explain it.
They're a result of what has to happen when we eventually hit
this pandemic, which we just hit is more globalism have to teach
the world to sing in perfect harmony. You know, everybody has
to do it all together. It's you know, the opposite of what
people actually want to do is shut down hunker down and go
away evil man.
They tell you is shut down. So So Canada's got the Horti go
away before we go to the hoarding in Canada, which is
exactly the same as it is here and
the same in in the Netherlands.
Toilet paper. Everything now A neighbor in the Netherlands do
not John, they're buying the actual shelves.
here's the here's the fractal. This is the non testing of
Trudeau listen to this. Oh, okay. Oops, hold on sec.
Now, while the prime minister today said he feels fine, he
also said he has no plans to be tested for COVID 19, which has
many people asking, why not? Yeah, she wishes his doctors
actually advised against testing since he is showing those
symptoms, and his health minister Petit high do pointed
out a little later. That is the normal protocol.
There is no evidence that someone needs to self isolate if
in fact, they have been in contact with someone who is
asymptomatic. And so it's important, it's important to
remember that that is why the Prime Minister has received that
public health advice, it doesn't have to have a test.
I do also say the Prime Minister's wife, Sophie, will be
extensively interviewed as health officials attempt to
trace every one she has been in contact with.
So Sophie Scott got tested positive, which is little
different than Trump, Trump was, was hounded for the same exact
reasons. And at first use the same exact excuse which will my
doctor says I didn't need it. And this which is what Trudeau
is doing, but Trudeau you think might be a little more inclined.
Trump finally gave in, got tested turned out to be fine.
And Trudeau is gonna have to do the same thing. But I just
thought it was curious that both these guys we've kind of went by
the exact same playbook and known to each other I'm sure
well, I know why. Why Trump didn't want to do it. The 25th
amendment. Oh, sick all right. Boom, move in. President's No,
good. It's gone to his brain. Oh, they have him out so quick.
Your head would spin and, and pence would
proc and we have a president who was infected. And pence
would be right that Pence by the way is like, dude, I'm looking
pretty good here. I'm getting some props. He looks just like
the guy who plays him on SNL. It's It's uncanny. And Pence is
looking pretty presidential and it was Moll Yeah. And we might
have to we can deal with him could do that.
Okay, now play. There's another thing they're doing up in
Canada. This is they're shutting down, which is what they should
do everywhere. They're shutting down the government for all
practical purposes. The Killing legislative sessions clip
the impacts of COVID-19 are also stretching to more than 50,000
employees of the Ontario Public Service. The province has asked
employees to work from home beginning on Monday until April
3, if feasible. This follows a vote at Queen's Park to suspend
the spring legislative session temporarily. The Tories are also
determining whether to postpone the march 25 budget.
Yeah, this should this Jumoke should go home and by the way,
193 cases in the entire country and they've gone completely
nuts.
There's a term for this that's going on, which I had heard
before. I kind of ignored it, because I saw a lot of people
posting and laying out whatever. It's the what do you call this?
You call this the Dunning Kruger effect? You familiar with the
Dunning Kruger effect?
Well, it's something called the Dunning Kruger effect. What
Dunning Kruger effect is a couple of psychologists Dr.
Dunning Kruger realized that there's a cognitive distortion
for people that may don't really know the landscape of a
particular topic. It's what allows people to get up on
American Idol and sing and sound like hell or go don't sound
great, because they don't know good singing. They're not
exposed to it. And the same thing is true in many areas of
science. And so right now everybody thinks they're an
expert on everything they're not that is Dunning Kruger people
that are real experts feel like imposters which is the opposite
of what that occurred because you realize how fast the topic
is uncomplicated is to never feel like you know enough. But
and social media Dunning Kruger is alive and well.
Yes, and that's part of the problem. Oh my gosh,
I will say this, that the people that listen to this show, aren't
the ones getting the toilet paper. I can assure you there's
probably very, I mean, it's not that somebody in the family is
not doing it. But I don't see anybody I've met didn't run out
and get a bunch of toilet paper. We got toilet paper with less
than a week's worth of toilet paper. How much do you need and
they keep restocking it it's not as though this stuff is going to
disappear for all Matt forever and there's always tissues you
can buy. Nobody buys the Kleenex. Christina let me get my
last Canadian to buy this just so we get some perspective on
the hoarding. You've already gave it in Holland and this is
the Canadian version.
Pull some public places have been sending out grocery stores
or jam with customers. They're loading up with supplies to make
sure they don't run out. And in the process emptying the shelves
Tom's dayglo went to find out what's fueling this panic
on a quick trip for essentials. Good luck. Consider this
Coronavirus fueled panic buying empty shelves, lineups that keep
going and going and going. Not to mention a tight squeeze in
that crowd. Even as public health experts urge everyone to
avoid contact.
That seems a little bonkers in their now today there is lots of
people and more than normal even on their busiest day,
I saw people with like, five six packages of toilet paper.
Indeed with so many users sharing pictures online showing
toilet paper shelves empty, unfounded fears of a shortage
run rampant. Toilet paper isn't the only thing running low in
some stores like non perishable food items tomato sauce and past
and historic. It's nearly all gone. But stores are restocking
every day, and officials across the country promise
right now all trucks are delivering goods and we don't
expect any shortage.
So what's driving the panic? This medical anthropologist
blames the fear of a mysterious virus and the need to do
something to help
hoarding behaviors
in the context of an outbreak are not helpful.
Problem is overbuying prevents others from grabbing their own
supplies. But it gets worse. Like those reselling cleaning
wipes online at outrageous prices.
I'm profoundly disappointed in people who are hoarding and then
selling online. I think that's just offensive. You see that guy
who the New York Times had a piece on? No, he had 17,000
bottles of hand sanitizer and he was price gouging him on eBay
and then eBay blocked him and now he can't sell any and he's
crying about it.
So my my pure
blog just telling you but you Tito's vodka is the answer. So
the thing there's a slight article that was written showing
they did some document documentation of what people
actually are grabbing off the shelf, but more interesting what
they're leaving. And what there's a for example, the meat
counters are all emptied out in some places but the pork
products were left because at the end the thinking is is the
pork is thought of swine flu and Chinese and pork. Pork Of course
all the vegan stuff is there if you're a vegan you get to worry
about
actually food so of course nobody's buying
a rack of meat that's all missing a step beyond meat
that's all there
is no one's buying the beyond
no no which is a sign for you investors yes get
bail bail now
this is no good and then and then all the water is gone
except dishonor for some reason. Sounds Italian well no no, no
it's because everyone knows is it because even on the bottle
it's Coca Cola water that's just tap water that's been filtered.
Yeah, the whole thing is nuts. Especially but let's I got a
couple of clips because plating some Italy stuff since you did
mention it. And I thought this was interesting. This is the
rules. Clip. Italy rules and something I wrote it down. I
don't know what it says
Italy remains on lockdown as officials and health care
workers struggled to contain the Coronavirus pandemic special
correspondent Christopher Lipsyte joins us now via Skype
from Rome. Chris, we had a conversation a week ago what's
changed?
Well the lockdown that was previously limited to Northern
Italy the hotspot here in this country. It expanded to cover
the entire country. So
first of all, when he says it's a lockdown, it's bullshit. This
is a prime example of the type of shit that the mainstream
media is doing. It's not locked down
you will go seems to be locked down He won't leave his room did
this
guy is full of crap means as far south as is Sicily and including
the Capitol and run where I am and and then in the past couple
of days they've actually heightened to those
restrictions. And so you're only supposed to go out if it's
absolutely necessary.
See a little bit different than a lockdown. No, you can go out
to go to your job. You can go out to the grocery store,
if you need to go to the hospital if you need to get
food. And that means that the types of services you'll find
once you do go out are also limited. It means that cafes and
clothing stores they're all closed. Now as part of this ban
in place. Pharmacies you will find open grocery stores you
will find open but if you want to actually be outside of your
home, you have to have proof that it's a good reason. So that
means carry No with you, this self minted affidavit, in which
you explain your business, and if you don't have this on you
and the police stop you, you can be fined or even arrested. And
by last count, about 5000 Italians had already been
charged for for breaking these rules that are in place.
Okay, well, great. This is the this is the thing you print off
the internet, the filling yourself,
play, play the second clip,
these are limited resources, a ventilator can cost 10s of 1000s
of euros, and you have to be on these devices for six to eight
days at times. And if you're in your 80s, your chance of
recovery is very low. So in a lot of hospitals, it's become a
wartime situation in which doctors have to decide whether
to give it to the 80 year old or whether to give it to the 50
year old or 30 year old. I mean, there are reports now of the
debt not being able to be collected from their homes
because the health services or reports are overwhelmed and you
can't get a funeral home that's willing to risk going inside a
house where there's Coronavirus, because they don't want to get
infected. I mean, it conjures up images from the Middle Ages when
you had the Black Death sweeping through place where I'm talking
to you.
This is what's so interesting. Where are they had the pictures,
pictures, where are the pictures now?
Where are the pictures, but But still what he described? What
did was he actually describing? I just hate to bring this up
just to kind of as a call back. He's describing a death panel?
Yes. Who just decides? Oh, it's a dead battle wrote? And thank
you. Would everyone please put in a little Google News? tracker
for the National Health System in the UK? People are flipping
out. It's underfunded. We're already 10,000 Doctors short. Mm
hmm. Yes. And who's going to decide who gets in who doesn't
get in? This is exactly exactly why you don't want this kind of
centralized control. On Italy, than this, and this is the same
for Ohio when I heard Ohio, Ohio is number 100,000. And all the
light bulbs went off, then that's when I didn't know that
you could fly directly from Wuhan to Toledo where you can't
now but they you know this is this is a hotbed of Chinese
activity. No wonder if they were coming in in December January
bringing this virus with them. Of course everyone there is in
flight doesn't mean people are dead and you have to lock down
Ohio. Italy is different for a couple reasons. Well, the main
thing is Italy was the first country in the European Union
against the wishes of all of the 2827 other member states who
joined up and had Zhi Jing ping and all the muckety mucks from
the CCP. A year ago almost to the day in northern Italy. We're
part of Belton road. Yes. It's great. There's 100,000 workers,
Chinese workers in the factories in northern Italy. Are these
people who have died were they factory workers who maybe even
be in below western standard housing situation. We don't
know. No one's told us who these people are.
For what I say by the way, I this is an irritant. an irritant
with me from from the get go. I've mentioned it before on the
show. I don't see why we can't get the ethnic information or
age or age even How about age ethnicity would be very
interesting. I'll take age. Absolutely.
So but the tip off the tip off to this Well, there's two pieces
that there were supposed to be a big meeting a big launch of
something on the 23rd of March with the with the Chinese that
of course is off the table. The tip off came Do you remember
Willow sent me the voicemail message which he played on the
show and she was talking about, you know, the racism against the
Chinese and they were going to Chinese restaurants to try and
show solidarity. I looked into this and they went even further.
The government instant local government instituted the hug a
Chinese and they had Chinese people on the streets of Italy
of Florence is what I saw with a mask on with a blindfold on and
it with a sign says Please hug your hug a Chinese and this is
the Communist Party who are insane about Taiwan even being
called Taiwan on the map. In fact, Taiwan isn't even Taiwan
and wiki pedia it's the ROC Republic of China. They want
they they're out there telling the Italians you better have
people loving the Chinese. And so then they come up with all
these crazy things like hug a Chinese go to the Chinese
restaurant. Don't be racist and this is what See CNN is doing
now. Oh, you can't call it Wuhan. No, that would be bad.
That's racist. That's that's xenophobic. That's horrible. CNN
is owned by Warner media Warner media is owned by AT and T AT
and T has huge deals with Huawei and Chinese telecom companies.
The call went out, hey, hey, hey, stop calling it the Chinese
stop calling in Wuhan. And then all of a sudden the CNN anchors
are all telling you that it's racist to say that if the
Chinese have time for all that, then certainly things are not as
dire as they appear to be. Here is China. China's top virus
expert. This is the the man who shepherded China through the
SARS outbreak.
China's senior medical adviser termination says the Coronavirus
outbreak may peak soon and maybe over by April. In an
interview with Reuters, Mr. Tong said that the prediction was
made based on mathematical modeling. The 83 role is known
for combating the SARS crisis in China in 2003. This comes as the
death toll from the Coronavirus epidemic in China hit 1016.
So he's expecting it to be over in a few weeks as well. Could be
true could not be true. I don't know. I hear the President's
sneaking those words in there stuck in my mind. I always think
he knows something that he can't say and could be wrong. But I've
said April 6, because April 6 would be exactly 30 days after
the initial $8.3 billion was released. And I think when
everyone has the initial money, then things will die down. Not
so for New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio who showed his true
color red, in this little ditty with joy read
the testing thing I think is really, you know, maybe I'm a
bit obsessed with it. Because at this point, it seems insane. In
a modern country in a great city like New York City, that it
seems almost impossible for people to get a test can a New
Yorker or someone in the city that is symptomatic in some way,
get a test if they need it. And if so how
joy there are people can get a test it is according to a
priority structure. And it's not enough testing. It's just as
simple as that. We have been pleading with the federal
government for weeks, publicly letters, phone calls, get us
testing so we can get ahead of this. It's here's reality, this
is a war like situation. We're in a wartime scenario with Mar a
Lago attitude being used by the federal government, right? It's
so laid back, and I don't understand it. And by the way,
testing, how about ventilators, where's the federal government
making sure that our hospitals have the ventilators we're gonna
meet? Where's the federal government when it comes to
surgical masks, getting them distributed, where they this is
a case for a nationalization, literally a nationalization of
crucial factories, and industries that could produce
the medical supplies to prepare this country for what we need.
So instead of doing what the president did, which is call
everybody and say, Hey, let's get on the stick here. This
douchebag wants to literally nationalize these companies.
Okay. You seem like a stable person. And we don't have
factories that make those products anymore. And the silver
lining to this all is that will bring a lot of that
manufacturing back. And I have to say it again. I cannot
believe the coincidence. of the past three years, Donald Trump
says China's a problem. No one's ever talked about China,
publicly known cares. He had China and immigration. China,
China, China comes in first thing he says, Let's get our own
steel going. We can't trust Chinese steel. We need to have
our own steel without your own steel. You don't have a country,
you can't defend yourself, then let's bring manufacturing back.
Then the trade tariffs. Then the tax break, which repatriated all
the money with the pressure on the Chinese economy, and then by
coincidence, wow, man we flew on has to shut down. Well, it's
crazy how that works. John Hopkins seems to be in the
middle of a lot of this, as you pointed out with the event 201.
And we got a note an anonymous note from one of our producers
who operates in in the John Hopkins system. John is correct.
John Hopkins is spook Central. Though I have not heard anything
about involvement from US intelligence agencies. What I
have heard for the past few months, my department of the
hospital has been dealing with the fallout from at least 10
research doctors who were found to be spying for China. One of
them was specifically brought over with money from an
endowment set up via charitable donation that is specifically to
be used to bring over postdoc fellows from mainland China.
There's been a push for more funds like this to be set up in
the department with the loudest voices coming from the docks who
are Chinese nationals. So This wasn't just Harvard. This is
rampant. Just got to think it's coincidental how all these
things happen. I really love your your booby trap theory. But
John Hopkins continues to put out webinars and interesting
factoids and podcasts about the Coronavirus. And sometimes the
truth just wants to slip out. Here's the most recent panel
discussing it.
And so we we saw a lot of rumors about government conspiracies in
our dataset.
And now on the novel Coronavirus, there's some rumors
about government conspiracies. Can you talk about what you're
seeing as you're looking at the current landscape? Right,
automation?
Yeah, we have here. You know, we have an example of that
Coronavirus might have originated in a lab lab linked
to China's bio warfare program. That's misinformation that the
interesting thing about this misinformation is that if you go
to a different country, they blames a different country. So
this is a coordinated effort to to sow discord and division when
we need it the most when we need to have we need to have
cooperation.
I mean, come on. This is a coordinated effort to sow to sow
confusion when we need it the most. Exactly. This is what
happens when your spy insides John Hopkins University System
is you get confused. That's a good one.
I don't really have anything else. I do have the New Rochelle
clips. With the update they got that they were talking about
programming people. Let's bring the National Guard in. So we're
used to seeing the military on the streets.
The mobile testing center will serve all residents of
Westchester County. But officials are prioritizing
people in New Rochelle, the town where it's located. It's one of
America's hotspots for COVID 19. Most of the city's cases
originated from young Israel Synagogue of New Rochelle.
Earlier this week, it was made the center of a quote
containment area by the state of New York for two weeks for one
mile in every direction, large gatherings would be banned. That
meant closing schools, local colleges and community centers
as well as religious institutions. The state's
National Guard would also be deployed
as a sensible means of controlling the spread of the
virus in an area where it has a high concentration. But it's not
an exclusion zone. It's not a quarantine zone. No one is
prevented from entering or leaving.
No Branson is the mayor of New Rochelle. He says the State
National Guard's role in the containment area is limited.
The Guard is here in nourish shell to provide logistical and
operational support principally delivering meals to students who
cannot receive them at the public schools, providing
supplies providing cleaning services for large facilities.
These are things that will be entirely beyond the capacity of
a municipality the size of nourish shell. So we're grateful
to have their support, but they're not here in a military
or policing function. And I think it's very important to
draw that distinction.
This is interesting. This was what data they talked about this
the National Guard being there.
It should have been on either on describers yesterday. Hmm,
okay. No, that can't be I got a note on Thursday from producer
Andrew. And he says, Hey, I'm on my way to New Rochelle for a
service call. But apparently the National Guard is there. And I
don't know why he's emailing this clip. It's from yesterday,
doesn't mean it did. Oh, okay. So I don't know why he's really
emailing me. But like, I hear the National Guard is there and
like, I don't know. So I follow up. I said, Hey, man, do you
ever make it and he said, Yeah, there was nothing is hidden. No,
nothing to see. I don't know where the Containment Zone was.
But everything was normal. I could travel around, had to pick
up some auto parts. He took some pics of a Chevy in New Rochelle
that I had to take a look. It's like the it's all in your head.
You think Containment Zone National Guard. You know, I
immediately see that. Oh, you know, like, Will Smith movie or
Brad Pitt movie with the National Guard? Sorry, sir.
Can't come beyond the checkpoint? No. This is, at this
point psychological warfare. at Best Buy the media itself for
ratings. But probably a hell of a lot more. This is crazy. We
could do this about anything. What's in the second part of
this report? Well, they go out on a plane. Chris, we have any
idea
how the virus is spreading in New York.
Right now, what we know and this will certainly change is that
there are over 500 confirmed cases in New York State, the
majority of which are in New York City. And just this
morning, New York State reported its first death. An 82 year old
woman in New York City who had been suffering from emphysema
did indeed die from
the Coronavirus course. You know what this actually reminds me of
war of the world. This is like an Orson Orson Welles saying
that
83 year old woman suffering from emphysema on her last legs. Yes.
Yeah what mark down another killer Barona killer.
Exactly. I will say I like the I like the kids who have given the
Coronavirus, a new nickname, the young kids, the Gen Z kids, it's
called the boomer remover like that. cute kids, kids.
You know, finally when they're walking by he can trip them.
And then we had the the family's first x Coronavirus response
Act, which was lauded as some huge, great thing that was being
done. Although as I read through it, it seems like very poor
people will be helped. And rich people or people who own larger
businesses will be helped. And everybody in the middle can go
suck it. You're not getting anything. So and it was
about something many people are getting anything if you Let's go
back and listen to what he said the last clip, New York City,
what's this population? Seven, 8 million?
Is it not more than that? I don't know. Exactly.
I mean, the chat room might have the newest numbers, but it's up
there. It's it's in the, you know, close to 10 million. And
you have 500 people that have been infected. Yeah, there's one
death. I mean, so there's a quick response team. There's no
There's nobody has this disease. It's 500 out of 10 million
people.
Right? So, yes. And even if you took the Chinese example 1.5
billion people. You know, it's a very small fraction of the
overall population. But we're being soft. We're being we're
being frightened by the numbers and online that propagates
beautifully. You're
not being frightened? No, I'm saying I'm not being frightened.
I think many of our listeners are being frightened to the
polite. Why is there only a few voices of reason out there?
Because the site's Trump, by the way?
Yeah. Because we don't have any commercial interests. A we take
no money from China. Because China's asshole. And we've, we
understand the media, and we can do simple math. And I think
we're in we inherently are distrustful of experts telling
us something and we go and do research and compare it to other
experts. And, you know, we've been, we've been this show has
been looking at this for eight weeks, we were talking about the
economic impact only from China from the Chinese perspective and
the budget, the just in time supply line eight weeks ago. So
this is no surprise, most people are like, hold. In fact, most
people watch The Bachelor the other night, that was what they
were really doing sitting at home watching The Bachelor.
That's what most people do. The drones
and if they do watch the news, all they're getting is Corona,
as I mentioned, the entire show. Yeah.
The entire show. Yep. So by the way, there is other news, and we
do Yeah, we're gonna
get to coming up. Pelosi tried to do a big, a big grand gesture
like, oh, here we are. Yes, we have to put families first. And
she has the same problem I have, although I've practiced it and I
can say epidemiology
to understand the nature of illogical stuckness spread
the spread of the virus Hey, man, you gotta you got to
practice these things. And and I think the saddest part of her
presentation of what this bill is, was what is in it? And when
she was in the car, and I heard this like, oh, woman, seriously,
you did that.
The three most important parts of this bill are testing,
testing, testing,
for testing. Yay, What a moron. Before we take our break, let's
just lead we can probably lead into the biggest joke of the
mall, which was Joe Biden. And Joe wanted to look presidential
and he wanted to do a Corona virus townhall meeting so that
he could of course do what was the best do what presidents do
is, you know, calm everybody down. Before before, before
before they started before they started. They had the crack
audio team that We have been following and just appreciating
to know and for their incredible lack of professionalism or
caring capability have completely screwed Joe Biden
time and time again. There's now now we're going to do right
people we're going to set this up we can't have this mess up
the no agenda guys are talking about how over modulate it is
what is going on fix this get it right.
Are we still hearing? We're gonna do the last final Mic
check. Sorry for this. 1-234-567-8910
Yes. Okay. Now, again, not a professional Mic check. We all
know, if you know what you're doing is Check, check, check
1212 That's never go past the two. And then they kicked off
the toe all for the Coronavirus with some confusion. actual
video from the town hall? Was that? No, no, no. I'll tell you
in a moment what happened. But this this was the audio from the
actual beginning.
I can promise you better.
Okay, so, so here's what happened. And I'll start at the
end, you actually heard Joe Biden say, we'll be prepared
better. So the guy who can't get an audio sound, right for the
life of him during the life of his campaign is going to prepare
better for Corona. What they did, what they did is they used
Zoom video. And these amateurs and I it's it's just as
egregious as streaming the president pre and post his Oval
Office speech just as egregious. They set it up. And there's
multiple ways to use it. But typically, when you use Zoom
video, when someone starts talking, it will switch to that
person's video. So however, they did it, they had some people
from the campaign watching on the Zoom video, the baby cries,
but And of course, it's not muted. So the sound comes
through, and then boom, you get the picture of wherever the
screen switches to wherever the babies come through, then some
Indian guy pops up. And because he's making noise, and
everyone's trying to mute their devices, because they had no
training, didn't know how to use the product. And were clearly
ill prepared, Joe, ill prepared. And then, with all the testing,
they did have his microphone, they had an obvious, you know,
interface mismatch even either the bit rate was basically
needed to unplug and plug the sound card back in again, hadn't
figured that one out. So they finally gave Joe an iPhone to
talk into which made him look anything but presidential
providing for the additional funding that would provide for
no hidden bills, etc. And I can get it done. I get it done
quickly, and people will be covered. But even I can't do
that for another two year, another a year between now and
November. Or actually January, but to be covered.
So, so incredibly sad. A disaster.
When he walks off camera,
yeah, well, that's not an audio gag, unfortunately. But yeah, he
just walked off. He doesn't it was and this was the speech that
would show that he is more prepared than President Trump.
That's the irony of it all.
Well, the funny thing is is the way the Hollywood ease like
Alyssa Milano comes out and says something like Joe Biden said he
loved love your leadership during the Coronavirus. And Rob
Reiner is falling all over himself about how Joe Biden is
going to be such a great president. What is wrong with
these people?
We will find out momentarily but first I'd like to thank you for
your courage and say in the morning to you the man who put
the sea firmly in the curve we have to flatten John see.
Monday morning you Adam curry and memorial shift she boots on
the ground feet near subs in the water. All the hockey refs and
dameisha nights out there

people would be tuning in we're on we're up to 1800 today Jama
is pretty big. That is no wonder people are it's I've seen this
thing scroll by and like lots of people are talking. That's
that's probably 25% More than we typically have nice to see your
trolls and troll away very good. No agenda stream.com It is truly
the best thing you can have in your Coronavirus safety kit is

commercials, no corporate money, no interruptions and you can
troll away in the troll room and all their amygdalas are small so
you'll feel good you feel right at home no agenda stream.com And
then a big in the morning to Mike Riley who brought us the
artwork for episode 1224. Our previous show on Thursday the
title of that was caps and I was asked to mention specifically
that he wanted to share some of the credit with comic strip
blogger who had now this was the the Locust slash cricket look
more like a cricket with a sign that said free food and little
asterix kosher and he had indeed uploaded it twice once without
the kosher and one with the kosher and that was a upon the
recommendation of comic strip blogger he put it in I think it
actually did make it I think that that made it just that
extra bit better to put the kosher on there. And this was
since we know the Israelis love eating locusts because they're
kosher. And it popped it was a great piece of artwork popped
out love it. And we thank you for your courage. Mike Riley is
a part of our value for value network where everybody can
contribute one way or the other. The art is a huge contribution
because we are one of the few podcasts whose album art changes
with every single show. It's exciting, it gets attention,
people like it. It looks good in the podcast app. In fact, it
makes the whole industry look good. And no agenda art
generator.com is where you can upload your art if you want to
participate or have a look at the 10s of 1000s of pieces that
we have that people have done over the years. Also part of our
value for value system is the executive producers and
Associate Executive producers who financially support the show
and we're going to thank a number of them for today episode
1225
Starting with Matthew Janis zoo ski in Chicago 1261. Curiously,
is the show one two to five club donation plus, which is
interesting to do it. What are we doing? We have a rule about
that.
About what
backdating your club donations?
Well, he's he's not backdating it. He's giving it plus the Pay
Pal. Vig all plus
the VIG?
What did you guys do?
totally misunderstood. Denise says no jiggles no karma. Wow.
What?
Wow.
All right, ladies and gentlemen. I present the Grand Duke of the
Pacific Northwest. So Dwayne melon song. Wow,
I know I want the ball
on the coffee. I'm on the ball. That was good. I was stunned.
Normally it goes like this. And then hope well, I think you have
something special to do something to play here. No, no,
this time I nailed it.
Turning $33.33 He's in tight guard. Or again. He by the way?
Yeah. Allen beans up there now. Should Baron the Baron. They
have a lot of people in this area for us. I have to look. I
think I've been through there. I think it's in the winegrowing
area or someplace in northern Oregon. It could be could be
mistaken. ITM gents I sold a bottle of hand sanitizer. I'm
splitting the proceeds with you. Self quarantining is better with
no agenda to distract me by the way. A Corona jingle by the way,
a karate a Corona jingle and can you see that juice with karma
for all producers? Please don't we can do that. Oh my gosh.
Can you see that juice game now your karma
game Laura 314 15. Happy Pi Day John and Adam had to donate to
register my frustrations about the innumerate innumeracy of the
elites innumerate. I'm not sure what how she's using this term
of the elites regarding Coronavirus and celebrate.
Celebrate the circle.
Yeah 314 pi the circle enumerators circle, number
donation, John, your whole idea.
I put in the newsletter. But I'm getting confused with the elites
a circle. I don't know. You've already reviewed the numbers.
But what hasn't been discussed are the unintended consequences.
My family has been hit in ways By the way, you know, they also
closed all the Apple Stores.
Well, that's a plus. I mean, that was that's a germ pit just
waiting to spread all kinds of nastiness.
Apple Stores equals germ pit next. Next family has been
hidden ways that I could never have anticipated. I'm a doc and
the AEA conference American Academy of allergies, Asthma and
Immunology. He's canceled their conference in Philly for this
week. And this was a minor inconvenience. And if that were
all that was affected, it would be minimal. However, my
colleague Jason son is now stuck at home for another three weeks.
This is a disaster. Yes. Yeah. Corona. By the way, somebody
pointed out the dinner table. They expect a lot of two things
to happen besides maybe a baby boom. Yes. The Coronavirus boom.
You want to invest in something divorce attorneys? Yeah,
have the I'll invest in baby stuff. I'm much more I'm more
optimistic. I'm an optimist.
The idea of the of mom and dad having to be stuck with each
other with the kids at the later ages.
Yeah, this is not a recipe for success.
Now, and especially when I was talking about this too, when
you're working from home, not everybody knows how to work from
home. It sounds Oh, I get to work from home. A lot of people
think it's a cool thing. But when you do it, it's you can't
do a lot of people can't work from home and stay safe. Very
difficult to do. I mean, I've been doing it now for well, full
time from home what the past 11 years, maybe of the 13 years of
the show. Maybe 10 Yeah, and what's it goes like this, you
get up do some email then you still got your house coat on.
And then around one o'clock you'd like the first joint you'd
like you know, I should probably get
going. You still don't work from home, of course.
But I bring my A game every Thursday.
I've kind of worked from home since 1985. So I'm I'm pretty
easy which
is why we also don't have any virus so we don't get out.
That's why we're not sick.
His younger brother a high school junior has been most
affected. Black Face Ralph aka the Virginia Governor canceled
school for at least two weeks yesterday because of this. My
son's my son's LSAT scheduled for today Saturday was cancelled
as well. He now gets to take the classes at home as he prepares
for multiple AP tests in a month and a half in addition to
continuing LSAT prep for the tests that was canceled. His
class trip to New York City was cancelled. He finally made
varsity soccer and that's been delayed for these two weeks. The
fact that any of my kids can make a varsity team is a cause
for a huge celebration. The kid is 17 if he gets Coronavirus,
he'll sniffle twice and keep on doing what he does. Yeah. He has
had the influenza B last month despite the vaccine. Hello. And
this by the way. You're about Tamiflu. And this time is
greater health impacts on most people, then a Coronavirus ever
will I knew I apologize for war and peace. But this has been
such an overreaction to what should be handled with hand
washing and staying home a bit. We don't recommend no sex as a
prevention of HIV AIDS only safe sex toys and HIV AIDS will kill
people by many orders of magnitude more than COVID-19
ever will. That's on gold.
Yeah, well, no. Maybe it hasn't been bungled, or is it on
target? That's the question.
Well, we're on this fence about that. We'll close with Lord what
fools these mortals be from Midsummer's Night dream and as
for karma for my son as he preserved, preserves, prepares
for his exams. This donation also allows me to become a
Baronet tests Oh, that is not shouldn't be on the list.

thoughts. My story. I'm a tech. I'm a tech loving millennial,
tech loving millennial named Ben dude named Ben. Way back in
2012. I was watching twit. Previously I'd heard John
talking about the show that he was doing twice weekly, and kept
telling myself I need to check it out. As John was the only
host on twit whoever said anything interesting.
Hell yeah. Hell yeah.
But I never did. Until John's co host was on Twitch. And brandish
not just any gun but a judge.
This is a long time ago. This is nine years ago 12
years ago eight years ago I immediately subscribed to no
agenda and started listening five minutes into the first
episode I stopped a show called my sister and told her to clear
her podcast schedule we have been listening ever since
and the family that no agendas together stays together

Yes, before we before I think it everybody sad note I got Lu late
just before the show this morning. In the morning
crackpot. This message is with the heaviest of hearts. An hour
ago my dad Bill aka Babboe passed peacefully as I held his
hand after a massive inoperable stroke. He was so kind and
gentle I can't overstate how influential he was in helping me
to become the man I am today. He will be missed by so many people
total day record. No agenda is like no is an extended family to
me in a truly gives me comfort that any producer would
sympathize with such a loss. Thank you for the property size
to Migdal it helps more than I can express love and light dad

lady Simona Simona. Sir Andrew answer Emmett, and we certainly
share in their in their loss for today. And thank you all for

a goat. With a goat.
You've got
all dads all dads love a goat. We all love a goat. Hey, I got a
viewing tip. Okay, if you're stuck inside and you want
something to watch, we just finished it last night on
Netflix cheer. This is about a small town in Texas. Corsicana,
Texas who has the award winning cheerleading squad and it's a
five part or six part documentary. It is really
interesting to watch. That sounds good. I like it. It is
it's all these kids who come from broken homes. I mean,
really messed up situations. Just dropped off in here live in
his trailer. I'll be back next month that kind of deal. And
they Yeah, it's really really is there is that oh, is and they're
in there such athletes very feel good. Pretty good. It feels good
type of series. And I think you'll enjoy it. It's and also
just the athleticism is now Hey, what else you're going to watch
this no sports on TV. Might as well watch cheerleading while
they're
showing nothing. They're showing old games. It's pathetic. It's
almost sad. Yeah. So they got all these games. They did.
basketballs, college basketball games are showing old games, NBA
old games, you know, old playoffs. Ah.
Can you imagine? Can you imagine the hit to the advertising
business, the TV advertising business
son imaginable and not to mention the empty stadiums and
all the rest of it. It's just pathetic.
Yeah, that's why April 6, we're done with a ship. April 6 will
be up in Dubai.

proven wrong yet.
We'll know on April 7, April
7, if it's wrong, you're I'll be the first amendment mentioned it
because somebody's got to tell you. Meanwhile, of course what
we did miss or you may have missed I don't know who missed
it. Because they've decided to put all television production on
hiatus. Oh, yes. But they had to get Mayor Pete on the Jimmy
Kimmel show.
Oh, he's hosting it. You missed this. Oh, gee, John. I forgot to
watch some lame ass show. I didn't miss it. I want you I
watched David Spade on repeat.
So unfortunately, because I would like to have seen Mayor
Pete in front of an audience instead of in front of an empty
auditorium with a bunch of friends there.
Wait a minute. So with chemo off, he just wasn't
Kimmel. Kim was doing a pilot for the Who Wants to Be a
Millionaire some new show. You know, which may Regis Philbin a
millionaire. Yeah. And so they Kimball's got that and so he had
take the night off, but they could have just killed the show
run a rerun. But now somebody came up with a bright idea
because they're a bunch of Democrats anyway.
This is CBS, ABC, ABC.
ABC is somebody right went back and forth with somebody on this
about you know, we know who's you know, NBC Comcast has a
bunch of dumb is basically a front for the Democrat Party.
CBS is the CIA. ABC. ABC is the big mystery is a Disney who
knows what they're up to be dia that could be Russians, for all
we know. And it's a it's got some gay undertones throughout
the ABC Disney empire and which makes nothing but sense if you
think that they brought me you're peed on? Like so he could
talk about his husband being in the audience of 10. By the way,
this study has made a lot of noise. So I have three clips.
Oh, wow. Mayor Pete must have killed it.
They're short. Okay. Now the one is listening. Here's how he
opens on the show. And he does have just as you didn't see, I
wish I had seen it because to just analyze how I think he was.
You know, he had the dumb smile on his face the whole time. I
thought he was I didn't think it was very good. And he had
professional joke writers and but the problem with if you're
going to be a host on one of these shows you got bored
writing The team maybe have six, maybe 10 people, sometimes
they've had more sometimes has had less. But the key to success
is not the writing team is you. And the writers get to come up
with all these pitches and you're the host, whoever you
are, and you're you have some comedic chops for sure.
For sure. It's, it's a big gig. It's not a small little thing. I
would be very nervous about doing that.
Yeah. And he had well, he was he wasn't nervous, it seemed but
his selection of material which is was his choice was piss poor.
And, and then he had his his guest, I don't have any of those
clips. I just have this opening. He had Picard, Patrick Stewart
on and they basically creamed in his pants because he's a huge
Star Trek fan, mainly of the next generation series because
he's not old enough to be a fan of the original series. And so
he did everything but talk about Pete, he did all the talking. He
was just enamored with Patrick Stewart, and he did everything
but discuss his collection of action figures
was wait wait, wait. So now I know what you caught the show
you were tuning in for Picard, weren't you? Oh, yeah, yes, you
were. I gotcha.
I really disliked Patrick Stewart. But okay. Let's play
the mayor Pete is opening
my name is Pete Buda judge and I am running to be the next host
of Jimmy Kimmel Live. Now this is a strange night for us not
only because this is my first time hosting a talk show,
because we are doing it without a regular studio audience due to
public health concerns over the Coronavirus. We have canceled
the studio audience tonight but a few kind Kimmel staffers and
some friends, my husband Chaston all here instead. Everyone is
spread apart at the CDC recommended distance. This was
not our plan. We just decided this a few hours ago. And it's
disappointing because as you all know, I love to crowdsource it's
kind of my thing. But the experts have told us the best
way to prevent the spread of the virus is for us to physically
stay apart. So that's what we're going to do. The only way we're
going to get through this crisis is with Unity. So let's do this
together. Who's with me?
Full disclosure, none of those people are here. But when you
don't have a real audience, you have to fake one just like
Trump's inauguration. Oh, Pete
That was yeah, that was pretty bad. It took us pretty bad took
him that length to that clip to get us first
first joke. First joke.
Now, I would like to hire that tell you about you talking about
the Joe Biden sound. I would like to hire the guy who mic
this audience. Because the audience is pretty up probably
around 2535 people maybe. And it's so well miked except for
that second part, which was sweetened, because he showed
another audience but the audience that he has there is so
Well Mike, that actually sounds like a crowd. It doesn't sound
too bad. But also the audience is super enthused. Of course,
it's staff. Oh, they're jacked. Yeah, they're super jacked and
there was a goat in there too. I heard so it well miked.
Somebody screaming. I think that's Chaston or whatever. So
listen to the clip to This is terrible.
Now, last night, President Trump addressed the nation regarding
the corona virus pandemic and he had this message for the
American people.
If we are vigilant, and we can reduce the chance of infection,
which we will, we will significantly impede the
transmission of the virus. The virus will not have a chance
against us.
I agree that this virus is no match for the American people.
But for us to get through this. We have to take immediate
action. Now. There is a bill right now in Congress that would
provide free Coronavirus testing for everyone who needs it, paid
emergency leave and unemployment insurance for workers who are
laid off because of the economic shock. So for the good of every
worker, every family, every community that will be hurting.
We need Congress to get that done.
Where was the joke? was no joke
joke there. Hey, proselytizing.
Well, yeah, I want to ask you a question about that. How does
unemployment insurance work? You have to have it before you can
claim it. Well, it's insurance, right? Because they're talking
about unemployment insurance. Yeah, so you have to have
unemployed I'm in insurance.
Yes, you have to put into a fund. Well, what
are they talking about? Then? With more on talking about?
I think you're talking about extent making it. I don't know.
Okay. The Democrats love to throw out the word unemployment
insurance. I have no idea.
But it means if you don't have unemployment insurance, you
can't run out and get it now and say it'll be better. I don't
understand why you can't do that. That's just that's not
clear to me that the rest of the bill I understand, but not the
unemployment. Nevermind, I'm sorry. Hey, Pete. Great joke.
Haha. What's next?
Okay. The third clip is now he's into the material. Oh, he is
going to deliver three jokes, obviously written by this three
in a row. Yeah, bang, bang, bang. And this is about it. And
it just it just from this at the end of this as then it goes
downhill. And it goes into Patrick story where he's
gushing. And the rest of it is just this. I didn't find it that
interesting overall, but here we go.
A lot of folks are wondering how I ended up getting booked to
host this show. And all I can say is that Iowa caucus app
really screwed everything up.
Actually, Jimmy asked me to fill in because right now he is off
taping Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, which is a game
show that Michael Bloomberg 150 6000 times in a row. Now,
some people have been skeptical about me hosting a show like
this. They're like, You're too inexperienced. You'll never be a
good late night host. Well, a lot of people said I'd never get
elected president and I showed them.
It wasn't too bad. I chuckled over though he's timing is
rough. He's not claiming their tummy timings off. But there was
some good lines. I don't dislike the guy is just it's it's so
weird. Seeing him do that. It's almost as weird as seeing Andrew
Yang being you know, a talking head on CNN.
You know, the guy who could do this, I think I was gonna start
looking at politicians. I think that Rubio should be given a
good guest host because Rubio actually has comic timing. And I
say that because when he tried doing it, which is ruined his
campaign when he was up against Trump and yes, I
remember him try it. He would try really hard actually to the
he was
a small hands gag. Yes, yes.
I've watched the gag is pretty good.
The small hands gag stuck. Yeah. And his timing was impeccable. I
thought he did such a good job that it was so much like an
actual comic. And he used to be a performer if you remember in
the sequins he was a definitely some sort of a stage dancers.
No, I don't remember this. Go look it up. Marco. He
was It was like he had to do it sequins. He had to use like some
sort of like in a gay club. I don't know. But it was out there
to the point where he's got enough show but he has show
business experience. And he
does he hold on here he is. Marco Rubio was an active member
of the South Miami high school dance troupe an all male hybrid
of the village people and Chippendales where he and other
studly bros flopped around on stage and flaunted their tanned,
ripping rippling meat torsos. And so I'm putting that in the
show notes.
I'm not saying that he's like, you know, a professional stand
up comic, but he's he's got missed some shots. But he had
enough that he could deliver a line a lot better than Pete and
I think that he should be given a shot because I think it'd be
really good. In fact, I think he was so good at doing it when he
was trying to be funny, because when he was there was his only
hope against Trump because he was killing everybody in the
debates. And he went out on the road and delivered some
material, including the small hands gag and some other things
that were so well done it put people off
right now I can understand that.
It's like it was a little too well done. And so he lost his
credibility as a serious person.
I can see him as actually he has kind of the dancer physique now
that I think about it. Maybe a little on the short side, but
he's he's he's got the right build. Yeah. You should be on
Dancing with the Stars. That's how we'll get started.
Nice. Yeah, he's gonna do it. He does a good gig. Right. So
I think he's in charge of bringing the pharmaceutical
manufacturing back it hasn't Trump put him in charge of that.
I don't know. I think so. Anyway, so that was Mayor Pete.
Well done. Something of a disappointment.
A valiant try. And I wonder how the ratings were
Oh, What do you think? Probably bad? Well, maybe not because
maybe people are at home. I have people tuned in because they
were curious. So they're
watching the cheerleading stuff on Netflix, believe me if I had
a choice that in fact, I made that choice.
The opening bump was probably good.
So the monkey comes out of the sleeve on the the union worker
that got into a verbal assault with the Joe Biden. Yeah, yeah.
The guy's NRA guy. Yeah, it total NRA guy did and here's his
I just pulled a minute from it of his response clip on an NRA
YouTube channel. I
am the union worker that Joe Biden tried to intimidate
Fulshear ar 14. Joe Biden wants to take my ar 14. Let's just not
tell him what it really is.
I got this day after I talked to Joe. I'm sure that's not the
result he was going for. My name is Jerry Wayne. And all I wanted
to do as a presidential candidate of question. I didn't
intend to start a fight. All I did was ask Joe how he was going
to win over the union vote when he's planning on coming after
our guns with beta O'Rourke.
We're gonna take your AR 15 Your ak 47
I watched a video where he wanted to make assault weapons
or America's most popular rifle illegal so I asked him about it
instead of answering me honestly he acted like he never said it
at all. You're actively trying to diminish your Second
Amendment right take away your gun reform ship
and just goes on and on. It's like a seven minute thing like
really NRA is that all you have time for us to go push around
old men and embarrass them? That's what it was. That's true
elder abuse of the old man they got the NRA guy and then I'm not
saying I disagree with what what the overall discussion was
about. But you're gonna do that and then play it up and I find
it rude. Really, I really do. It's just sad. It was but this
is what the
setup guys this is the this Project Veritas era.
I mean, if anything, you gotta be worried about this stuff and
RA this is what it is.
And the COVID 19 pandemic could lead to a ban on guns and
alcohol in one Illinois town champions Mayor signing an
executive order declaring a Coronavirus emergency includes
ordinances that allow for to ban the sale of firearms and booze.
spokesman for the city says they might not be implemented but are
in place to protect the welfare and safety of our community.
There are currently no cases of Coronavirus in Champaign,
Illinois, and those are your headlines.
Okay, I'm gonna give you a clip of the week for that.
Oh, thank you very much the
tip of the day of the day I'll take it this is the kind of a
holes these little towns have running them. Yeah.
That's exactly it. And that's the stuff that's kind of dang
well. You
have me the title. I shouldn't say little towns you got one
running the big town of Austin. That's not a minor little Burg,
and
yeah, they haven't tried that on us though. I'm gonna try that
little ditty. Well,
they didn't have the idea yet. Got a ban guns because the COVID
19.
Did you hear about Andrew Gilliam?
I did. But I'm trying to figure out what I heard because I just
remember a knife to a gun.
Alright, Andrew Gillum ran against Ron DeSantis for
Governor of Florida.
All right, when he got caught in a gay tryst?
Well, nowhere it hasn't been reported that it was a gay
tryst. What was reported is that
he I'm sorry, James Woods reported that it was a gay
tryst. Well,
I do trust James Woods over many mainstream sources. And that may
be totally true. But there were two other men in a hotel room.
Emergency services were called One was odd being his heart. He
was having heart trouble. Gillum apparently was too intoxicated,
or inebriated to even speak with police and was puking in the
bathroom. And there were three, three bags of methamphetamine
and some story about Yeah, man. I went to a wedding and drank
too much. Then the other guy says I don't know about no
wedding. So
gay escort,
it's it's kind of what a sad, sad thing to have happen.
Yeah, he almost was made of governor of Florida Governor
flight like five votes he lost
Does he ever gave? Does he have any other gig? Is he doing
anything?
I don't have any idea. Probably Always probably part of the DNC.
Four should make nothing but sense. Let's do this. Let's take
a quick look at what what is he doing? He's got to be doing
something.
Because I forgot about that story.
That's a great story. Let
me see it is a great story, but it's a little it's a little lewd
is tawdry, it's a tawdry story and I've been avoiding these the
tawdry tale. tawdry tale and when you when you bring him up
okay, I'll talk about him you know but with the embellishments
but still which is that how do you spell is like Gilliam is?
We're going G I
ll UML
SATs? That was an eye in there.
No g i LLUMG Andrew Gillum killer that trolls do you know
what he's doing? Is it a political commentator? Well,
that's right. He should be on CNN on CNN. Yeah, he should be
with the with the other math guy. What's the guy with the wet
the dildo in his boot and the rope around his neck and the
meth in his pocket? Oh, come on. It was Richard. richer. Yeah,
that guy. Oh my
surely we have a clip of that guy hasn't been on. See. I
haven't seen him for a year.
Well, he's he's on CNN International. Richard addict
quest quest is his name quest. How come I was surely we have
this quest clip. It's the funniest thing ever. When he was
caught in Was it one of the parks in New York?
Yeah, something like that.
And the gospel is, he says, I've got math in my pocket and I've
got a vibrator. My buton neck arrived noose around my neck. He
was into some weird stuff, man. I don't have that anymore. I
wish I had it.
I thought Gillen had a wiki page. He does not finding it. It
is even his profiles. You got Twitter and Andrew
Andrew Gillum at GIOU am. Yeah. Yeah. So he's probably a CNN guy
now. Perfect. Yeah, makes sense. Sad, though sad, man. That's as
shitty.
I think you have to have these credentials to be on CNN. This
is
exactly right. Let me see. What did I have? Oh, yes. Oh, my
goodness, this was such a beautiful conversation. That we
know that the view is completely scripted. And this is one of the
heaviest scripted shows in television. And if you haven't
seen the morning show on apple plus to the Jennifer Aniston,
Reese Witherspoon project, which is kind of a meet two type of
series,
which I'm going to talk about that for one second before you
go on this show the morning show I should well I'm going to just
because it's recommended by the two of us. But it's there's a
warning I have to put out there it is such an inside baseball
showbiz type show that most people don't like it. My son
doesn't like it, for example, he thinks is stupid,
right? I think people who listen to us and how we critique the
media and how we talk about what goes on behind the scenes. I
think that will help a little bit. But it's very scripted. And
mind you fresh news from the view crew is that joy Bay, har
is going to take some time off from the show to social distance
herself. I think it's more mental distancing. But she's
going to distance herself from the view. But she's here with
with the full crew and Whoopi is on here. And they're discussing
possible VP picks for Joe Biden. Again, this is a completely
scripted show. So when they get into it, you should not be
surprised that that's where the conversation went. Joe
Biden looks more and more like the Democratic nominee. There's
a lot of speculation over who helped pick as his vice
president, Stacey Abrams, Kamala Harris, Amy Klobuchar have been
mentioned. I don't know what do you think there's a Who is it?
There's a smorgasbord of people to pick from. There really is.
There's it's not like he's going to have a like a low amount of
people to choose from. It's going to be huge. A lot of
capable, interesting candidates. Yeah.
We should pick a woman I think, yes, absolutely. White, black or
Latino or black woman, either one, I think would work. But it
has to be a woman.
I agree. I mean, I think he does really well with African
American voters, of course, although people are talking
about Stacey Abrams and, and Kamala Harris, but when you talk
about a woman, I mean, there's been so much research done. I
know there's a woman out of Georgetown that does some
research that when you have women legislators, they propose
more bills, they propose more policy changes, they just get
the work done. And so I think that would be really helpful to
his ticket.
I do but the person that he actually should pick
Michelle Obama,
that's your fair No, no, no. A man or a woman So a woman, a
woman, Michelle. Now, Michelle, is not as you bigger than a
breadbox. Yes.
It's a breadbox. It's a place
who really is qualified to do it? And he cannot pick her.
Hillary Clinton. Oh, Hillary Clinton. Yeah. I'm just saying
because in terms of qualifications, she she is. She
would be brilliant. Yeah. Because of all of the backlash
tonight. Was it you or you told me I should watch the Hillary
talk? I just
finished watching it
was really it was intense. Yeah, intense.
It goes to show you not only her qualifications, but who she
really is and how she has been so misread by so many people.
And so Miss judged and really just sort of, you know, the sins
of her husband have just been imputed to her over and over
again, was
the fact that she did not conform. You know, what I forgot
about was the beginning of their tenure in Arkansas. Yes. When
she was sort of working side by side with it. And they were
like, well, you know, you're not supposed to be doing that.
Right. You split you need to get into corn. Just like I've never
been in a corner. Yeah, you can't put baby in the corner.
Hillary Clinton. So again, this is a scripted show. This was not
coincidence. If you really think they could not remember who
would be the ideal vice presidential pick in a seven
minute segment. They don't let the women at the view freewheel
it
and then they will also a promotion of the who produced
that movie. Was it a they do a disney abc now Hulu?
Yeah. I'll bet you ABC owns most of Hulu
day or on a piece of it. Yes.
So it's it's an obvious ABC promotion. Butts is more than
that. In March 2019, Disney acquired 21st Century Fox giving
it a 60% majority stake in Hulu. And then AT and T sold back.
It's 10. Pretty Yeah. So it's basically an ABC product. For
the most part, Hulu, and they went on to the end exactly the
way I expected that documentary to be. Although I haven't seen
all four episodes is exactly what you'd expect. It's like
it is Oh, hold on a second. You're going on about does it by
this documentary before. You saw a couple of the episodes and
then you bailed so you could watch the cheerleader thing?
Yes. Which is telling us a lot about the fact that this
documentary probably is grating
there's time for show prep and pain and there's a time to sit
with my wife and enjoy looking at children jumping around. So
jumping
cheerleader so happy to be cheerleaders.
I love Jerry. All right. Yes, I will complete my viewing task. I
will. But this is the setup.
I was hoping that you'd already finished so I don't even have to
think about the possibility of watch. It'll be done by really
don't want to watch
it. It'll be done by Thursday. You don't you don't actually
you're correct. You don't want to watch it. You don't
I'm watching Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Now. Aren't you up to speed on your up to date?
I just did latest one looks like it didn't look that promising.
It's this a very good very good episodes in there.
No, I know that. All of them have been outstanding and their
stand alone they seem to be actually be written. There seems
to be a thought behind him besides just ad libbing a bunch
of lines. But episode eight starts off it seems very
distant, discombobulated and I'm not I'm getting disappointed in
the lack of art.
The art of creation that they're doing,
and I did watch 1917 I'd recommend that if you want to
watch movie. I do want to watch that. I want to it's it's very
it's incorrect. It's a good movie, I think is definitely the
movie of the year because of because of one thing and one
thing only it's movie making art parasite. Which one the best
pictures not even an American film is Korean. There's some
MANOVA what they're thinking is really it's a it's a good story,
but it's at some point it's just becomes like a one trick pony
stories is kind of a fractal of itself. And it's not the great
movie that 1917 is or even once upon a time in Hollywood, which
I really enjoy A lot of people didn't like, but they don't like
Tarantino. Anyway, I don't know we're doing movie reviews I have
some some clips that we need to get to Okay. Catching up with
the locusts.
Yes, the only show that stays on the beat of the locusts no one
else knows what the hell is going on. But you're no agenda
show and all of the associated producers.
Now I have two different I have three clips, but two of them are
of different different sorts. I got the ITV locus report, which
is actually kind of old. And then CNN did a report when with
one of its CO hosts I'd never seen before. And overnight it's
very minor report but let's listen to the look at because it
introduces the CNN introduces what I've been waiting for,
which is the locusts are part of global warming. And it's all
because of global warming. There's these locusts even
though both of these reports talk about locusts in biblical
times, but okay, we'll skip that biblical part and it's all about
global warming. Here's locusts, ITV.
They're so frightening. They're mentioned in the scriptures as
divine punishment. Locusts have been harbingers of doom from
time immemorial. Natori notorious they may be but this
is exceptional. It's 70 years since Can you witness these
sites and sign a proliferation that began in Saudi Arabia's
Empty Quarter? No stretches 3500 miles from there. Across much of
East Africa. These desert locusts are among the world's
great survivors. Normally, they live in the hottest driest
places on Earth, but their hardiness stabs them in good
stead when the going gets good. And in perfect conditions like
these they prosper, and their numbers simply explode. Rain is
the reason a series of cyclones coming off the Indian Ocean have
kept this region unseasonably Lush. crops and pastures used by
livestock have been devoured by ravenous swarms. Each and every
one of them can eat its own body weight each and every day. Mama
Cerrito is a farmer and a mother. And three weeks ago, she
watched locusts eat the flowers on her mango trees, no flowers,
no mangoes. She fears she has lost half of this year's
harvest. In my mind, she told me she depended on selling her
mangoes to clothe her two children and to pay for their
schooling. The same swarm consumed all the sweet potato
plants that Gladys la Mary was cultivating here by me. She said
they tried to scare the locusts away. But that for two days they
kept on coming back.
I have a little issue with the with this report. It's the
production value is completely wrong. I mean, we need this is
what you need, you know, like you need to mention to your
local. Now that's not a good one. We need to better local.
I'll prepare it for the next show. I'll get some locusts warm
second. Just you want to swarm How about
this so? So the best report actually came? And I don't have
a clip of it because it was just a clip of it was it because it
was Pat Robertson on the Christian Broadcasting Network?
He had a because of course it's biblical. If you think about oh,
yes, of course. But the problem is Pat, so old now that he's
doing it back and forth with the correspondent and it's just
poor, aimless, painful, I'm sure, but they did get a clearer
understanding of what happened. What happened was, there was a
in the Yemen deserts and South Saudi Arabia, that area of the
peninsula, they had an inordinate amount of rain in
2018. And then I guess, and then because of the conditions of the
rain, get these locusts all jacked up to start hatching. And
then a series of tornadoes hit the Cyclones hit the peninsula
and lifted these these craters up into the air, blew them into
Pakistan and into Africa, TA and they landed there. And then they
reproduced another cycle. And I think they're on their third
cycle. And they're in areas where they probably shouldn't be
some of them even got as far as China. And besides the fact that
when they are in flight, they can go 100 miles a day, these
these critters, and so it's becoming a nightmare. And the
global warming angle is the Well it wouldn't happen if it wasn't
for the Cyclones because of course, worse, get worse. And
we're gonna hear that now by listening to the CNN. Here's
clip one from CNN.
For three months now, swarms of desert locusts have been eating
their way through East Africa. Here in Kenya's Laikipia County,
people banging utensils to try and ward off an increasing
menace their livelihoods, all to no avail. The locusts keep
coming. A voracious appetite means these locusts eat the
equivalent of their own bodyweight in a single day dam
and they move with speed on the changing winds as far as 150
kilometers, almost 100 miles a day, beans, maize pasture for
animals, nothing stands a chance, raising fears of a food
security as the farmlands are decimated. And they keep
breeding, laying their eggs in the earth in pastoral and
agricultural lands. across East Africa, locust swarms of
biblical proportions have been threatening life and grazing
land and eating all the people's crops. Here you can see these
hoppers are the new generation that will pose a bigger threat
to agriculture in Kenya. War against workers is now in full
swing. If the swarms aren't stopped, the UN says they can
multiply as much as 500 times by June. So the Kenyan government
and UN agencies are fighting back with pesticides. In Isiolo,
Northeastern Kenya, villagers tell us they're seeing billions
of newly hatched locusts. How did this happen? After years of
drought, two cyclones hit East Africa in as many years, these
climate change influence phenomena replenished pasture
land and filled the rivers. But the heavy rains made the wet
earth ideal breeding ground for locusts.
This question is really it's this word but not hopeless. We
intend to control it.
Maybe in two or three
months.
Despite the challenges, they've killed as many as 17 swarms in a
day, and medium sized swarm being 30 to 40 million insects.
But for those on the front line of the Locust invasion, like 47
year old herder, America, the future is full of doubt. Yeah.
And again, this is this is not produced in an exciting, you
know, lead story kind of way.
It's not a lead story. They want to talk about Coronavirus and
Trump.
I know but even I'm falling asleep at the locusts wheel.
Well,
here's the last of it, then you won't have to wait long. This is
the kind of the back and forth where they bring in the global
warming aspect of it all.
Sharon Van Dam
is joining me now live to talk more about it. It's so sad how
this locusts epidemic is hurting people and can have a real
threat as we've said to millions.
Without a doubt Natalie and the link to climate change is clear.
If I can maybe I can just say what
even laughing about it. Let's go back to that. That was good. You
have my attention again. The link to climate change is
Claire. Let's do it.
Without a doubt Natalie and the link to climate change is clear.
I if I can maybe I can just say what is at least on my mind.
This is terrifying. This is one of the most horrific things that
I can imagine to see. But I can only imagine what it's like to
be on the ground to see your crops, your agriculture just
decimated by these swarms. These infestations of flying locusts.
I mean, how do we get to this point, right? Well think about
what climate change does. I have an increase in global
temperatures that supercharges storms, like cyclones that
occurred in 2018 off the Arabian Peninsula. And then you take
climate change that tips, the scales, that allows for these
large scale planetary circulations to favor these
swarms of locusts. And unfortunately, we might want to
get used to these flying pests, because if the science holds, it
looks as if they'll become greater and numbers and become
more frequent as well. Climate change is real.
Wow, man.
The eight is the angle.
The angle is I'm all in on that angle. I just love how this
reporter actually says it's obviously climate change on my
mind. That's worth playing again, that little bit. That was
very interesting here.
Without a doubt Natalie and the link to climate change is clear.
I can maybe I can just say what is at least on my mind, this is
terrifying. This is one of the most horrific things that
this is Top Top Notch journalism. Hey, man, it's
climate change. At least in my mind, it's really terrifying.

A and again, thank you all for

ever make good No no, I wanted to mention that our fantastic
promotion of the Pi Day did produce 31 dot 41 donations,
three of them oh nice so I want to mention that I want to thank
all those folks. Some people care about helping out
Yes
Now there was a something that came in this make good yeah
there's a make good on the new on me understand so I'm going to
read this how John asked you that's me to give Renee DuPont
now Dame sharp, sharp drone a of the LA new grape fields, karma
for being inconvenienced as he described, but I think she's
been shortchanged. The prescribed remedy for missing a
knighthood is to declare the person a black knight. Do we not
have black names? If not, is there similar honorific in its
place? But I think Black Dame is is that appropriate in this
case? Is that what happened?
Well, if that's what she wants, I think you have to I think what
no we I think yeah, you could be a black Dame anyway, Barbosa
guida did send an email and by the way I just mentioned doesn't
really say anything. So Bob, thanks for the links. I don't
know what to do about that. I mean, yes, it was our screw up
and as she should have been named earlier and she would have
been if she was a night it would have been a black night but a
dark time is not not a moniker that is normal. Right? Right. I
don't know what to what to say.
Yeah, I understand that because a black knight is an actual
thing and a black Dame just sounds weird. No, it
sounds like you're you know it sounds racial.
Yes. Black Lady of the nice wood going down a hole All right.
Well, well this gets worse this is well I'm laying that before
the peerage committee and it can remain in a bag and tell
you what the peerage committee is going to say. Okay. Not gonna
happen she's gonna be dead the dame that she is. We call a dame
plus that then she sounds like a fat. No, there's nothing you can
do. You really can't
adjust to my recommendation is we should probably stop this
Convo. While we're still ahead skis, because that's probably a
little bit better. Thank you, though. All of you for your
courage and for those who needed
jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs.

preppers to understand this last minute meetup stuff I really do
and I think that's good. Atomic liquors is where this will be
held look for the girl in a jeans jacket and white sneakers
she's in town for a work trip wink wink nudge nudge Say no
more. Catherine is organizing in Vegas. Tonight at six o'clock
Monday night the meet up at C s e a c I don't think this can be
continued this this meet up seems like it might be off. This
is on the Royal Caribbean Oasis of the Seas 2pm Tomorrow I have
a feeling this may not happen. I thought everything was canceled

it does indeed happen the Oasis of the sea will be available for
you to meet up in the Schooner Bar Dec six on day two march two

information, if you want to know about a meetup that you'd like
to attend, you can get all the details there. It's free. It's a
great service part of our value for value network. And if
there's nothing there that you like, all you have to do is
start one yourself no agenda meetups, they are like a pot. So
sometimes you want to go hang out with me you want to say is
like so I do have one last sequence of clips to share
regarding the green New Deal, not the green New Deal, but the
Green Deal in the European Union. And the Green Deal is
better known as the European Union climate law. This is the
purported to be 250 billion euro boondoggle led by my friend
France Timmermans. I say my friend because I met him on a
previous radio show key used to accompany the Queen of the
Netherlands to all the Bilderberg meetings. He is a
sales guy. He's actually I think he's only one or two years older
than I am. He's 56 or 57. But he looks, it looks 65 with his damn
beard. He's like grow. So I have a lot of respect for this guy,
not for what he's doing. But I really like him I likely
operates. You know, when I called them out as a
Bilderberger. He went wink wink, nudge nudge, it's important you
keep tracking that. So maybe he wants to kill me, but I'm
following him. And I'd like to do a little, just a little
overview of what the the European Union climate law is.
It was introduced by the brand new leader of the European Union
fund delay, and she is the head of Starfleet Command. And here
she is.
I'm pleased to tell you that the commission has just adopted our
proposal for the first ever European climate law. This
proposal sets in stone, our objective to be climate neutral
in 2050. And 2050, is no longer impossible distant to imagine.
And my children will be a bit younger than I am now, when we
have 2050. So as I have a glimpse of the possible
environment, they will likely experience well, this glimpse is
pretty sobering if we don't act now. And the science is very
clear. Climate is part of the natural work world that sustains
us. And this natural world is severely endangered. It is high
time to act. And this climate law is part of the European
contribution to this action. It will be our compass for the next
30 years. And it will guide us every step on the way as we
build a sustainable new growth model.
So very important what she says at the end there. I just want to
play that again so people can hear exactly what she said at
the very end. She says this is important for the European
Union, why?
It will be our compass for the next three years. And it will
guide us every step of the way. As we build a sustainable new
growth model.
It's a new growth model. Exactly. So we're just going to
replace things with new things. So replace the old gasoline cars
with battery calls cars, doesn't matter if it saves the
environment. It's a new growth model. And I like her th is for
a for a European she's her growth came out pretty good.
Usually it sounds like gross, gross model.
Yeah, she used the F
Yes, she's got it for model rough model. What you noticed
perhaps is that she spoke of 2050 this is not exactly in line
with the existential crisis that is going to kill us by 2030
which is what Greta Greta tune has been calling for. Luckily,
when France Timmermans Bilderberger globalist
extraordinaire and Green Deal czar of the European Union came
in to present his case, he made sure to let everybody know Greta
was a Part of this, we were
inspired by grassroots movements. As you know, this
morning, a president from the line had invited get a tumor, to
assist at the beginning of the college meeting and to share her
view with us. And as I said to her this morning, I'm sure that
without the movement she has inspired and is leading,
probably today, we would not have a Green Deal. And probably
today, I would not be talking about something that is quite
unique and quite forward looking. This climate law. I've
listened carefully to Greta, and the message I take away from her
words is, this planet doesn't belong to those in power for the
generations in power, it belongs to the whole of humanity. And I
feel a strong responsibility. I have kids in her generation, I'm
fortunate enough to have kids in the millennial generation and in
a generation Z, and I feel strong responsibility, that
together with them, we should make sure we make a success of
European climate neutrality by 2050.
So they're going to complete to climate neutrality by 2050. What
they don't read the law, it's a it's hundreds of pages.
Interestingly, there's no numbers. So they will actually
before before we explain the numbers, he had a completely
honest moment about climate change, if you believe in
climate change, and all this, you know, he just, I like this
guy for this very reason. Listen to this.
And I could repeat time and time again, when people are saying
this is about saving the planet. No, it's not. The planet can
take care of itself. And if we have too much of a nuisance, the
planet will get rid of us like the planet got rid of other
species before this is about saving humanity. This is about
creating the right conditions, so that humanity can live in
balance with its natural environments in a way that is
equitable, and in a way that does not say to those in the
world who aspire, to our level of of life to aspire to live
like us to say to them, no, that's not possible, because
Mother Earth could not afford that. Yes, you can. If we adapt,
if we do this, if we stick to this road, then we can reach
this. This is a problem that is huge. Is this existential? Huge?
It's also a problem with that can be fixed. Thank you very
much.
Yes. So there you go. That's, that's a good way to put it. We
all got a chip in or we're all going to die by by 2050. And
then and this is what I was leading up to earlier, he did a
classic move. It's almost like a Nancy Pelosi move only a little
bit better. They've passed this law, the law is passed. What is
not in there is the impact and impact is an important part of
any law. It is what are the what are the results B? And most
importantly, what will it cost? Well, they did things
differently this time in the EU,
of course, many people are keen as I've seen everywhere. Here
the Commission's 2030 targets. Those I say that I work to
assess the impact of the new 2030 Target has started and is
ongoing. And as you know, we want to find out what the best
landing zone is. If we want to get the best landing zone, this
guy's great to from 50% towards 55%, emissions cuts in 2030. To
do that will require a huge efforts by all and that is why
we don't want to make thoroughness and detail the
victim of political expediency I'm I'm absolutely convinced
that the commission were to today announce a number a figure
that has not been fully assessed for impact, then we would have
an endless discussion over many months whether the condition is
right, whether this is the whether the the assumptions are
correct, whether the facts are correct, etc. And we will lose a
lot of times. So to those who say, when you come at the end of
the summer with your number, you've lost time, I would say,
my experience, for instance, with the classic strategy if you
do an impact assessments so that the facts are no longer
disputed, you can move quicker also in the legislative process.
So once we've done this work, we will propose an amendment to the
climate law that we are presenting today. And we will
put the 2030 targets in there as well.
As the sign that contract we'll worry about the details
afterwards. It's
like Pelosi, you got to you got to pass the bill to find out
what's in it. Hey, Jane first put it into law so then we can
figure out how much we're gonna do with it. And we'll just put
an amendment that is fantastic. I love this guy. He's got brown
shoes and everything this mofo can sell. I really hope to get
an interview with him. I would love to speak with him because
he understands us too. He understands that he understands
as he gets us I really am trying hard to get it. But now he's
like he's like big man. This is a top gig. He has his he has an
unlimited budget, put 5060 people on a team and it's law.
Hello farmers. Are you ready for more protests because you're
gonna have to do it when you figure out these jokes are doing
and that's your climate update. Look
pretty bad. It was a couple of things, but we're gonna put them
off but the I did want to mention something which was the
ninth there was supposed to be this last week. Cory Feldman's
movie. Yeah, the
tale of two Koreas or whatever
it is, and I finally did some research. You know, he's
released this movie a couple of times. One time in particular
was outline I think there was a need supposed to go on to
2007 2013 2016 I think it was the 2016 release of the movie
where he is going to stream it yeah 20 bucks and it crapped out
and it was glitchy so they couldn't do it not
did not just use the G word in my presence.
I did and then apparently the same thing he released his Oh
no, it was like he couldn't get it was hackers movie from being
released or Cory and so this is just never ending he keeps
adding new names to his list of abusers and as they die. Yeah,
and so all the speculation about why the CEO of Disney quit and
none of that panned out not a single bit.
Nothing panned out. And it's like okay, well I think we're
tired this is reminding me now of the guy who has this this guy
Moser I can't remember his name but I first heard about him in
the 70s I think and then the 80s He keeps it about every so as
soon as you forget takes a long time to forget this but about
every 567 years he releases a flying car to Sacramento Yes.
And so this flood car he's gonna release he's got now is the last
time I heard of this was a number of years back where the
flying cars now more feasible because of computers and you
know again this is the same thing as your you got some
gimmick that you make money on somehow and then you keep doing
it over and over again. Pretty much the same blueprint is so
this quarry Phil Feldman thing you might just forget about it's
not even in the picture anymore. It's not you know, it's just no
good. Yeah.
And I was anticipating I mean apparently there's something in
there about Charlie Sheen that he raped Corey Haim and Crisco
was involved
Yes, supposedly there's Charlie Sheen is in denies this Haim is
dead and they brought a new person into the into the list of
abusers who's also just died recently. And you know it's just
this is not this is not any good
do you have an end of show ISO?
I didn't get any ISOs
I have no there's just something about you that pisses me off
have
that from the Hillary documentary that's all I
really have is thrilled and excited I'm starting to think oh
my gosh,
I don't have anything no
i The one I would still like to see as the end of show ISO which
you haven't used okay. Is the I'm the president I can do
anything that Bernie Sanders so
I this long I think we did use that most
I think he you slipped into the show but I know he used it as
the end of show still a renter
powerful was it most powerful man in the world I think
anything Yeah, I was at your ISO.
Oh no, I may have been
well, this is yeah, we
get some ISOs here that I get backed up. But
I can't find it the most.
Well just do stop the hammering and then you can't go wrong.
Stop the hammering it is good. Stop the hammering is probably
good. Especially with the toilet preppers. Alright, everybody
that will do it. Your amygdala should be perfect size if it
wasn't already.
And I hope you have better news stories if they don't just play
wall to wall Corona. Over the next news cycle, we got four
days of news come in and it's like guys something
now. April 6, everybody mark it down. This one will be out of
this grumpy old Ben's coming up on no agenda stream.com After
this we have a couple of end of show mixes. Thor brought us nice
Corona song which I'll play a bit of. Thank you, John Fletcher

us at the vorak.org/na until then keep your amygdala small
and adios mofos and such
laid Have you seen this date is the public really full of fear
Bernie was on top Joe was ready to flop is Hillary Clinton near
Wall Street is dropping in the stock there or dump another
bailout time off here as in Macau who manufactured new
depression never food lines here don't give us on your hands you
need a little discipline COVID-19 down there again shut
down the train down the airport want to impose some pride the
leasing was designed for black now with Corona ad mom mama and
baby Why don't we go you must your your temper the doctors
emergency you get pneumonia?
Ready they're ready in new there. But here's the deal, no
hidden bills, etc. And up the ante and what we have to do.
There's much we can do within the first 100 days invite the
major polluters in the country and then major abusers of
endangered species to the United States of America. We're in New
there. Well, I'm sorry, this looks such a disjointed effort
here because of the connections. But there's a lot more to say.
But I probably probably said too much to you. We're in New there.
But even I can't do that for another two years. Another year.
between now and November. are actually January. We're in New
there.
CLUNK CLUNK.
Here we go. I'm thrilled and excited. I'm starting to think
oh my gosh, oh my gosh. Okay, I can shift a little bit toward a
more expected appearance. And then I had some friends say,
Well, you know, I've got ideas about your hair and ideas about
your clothes. I violated them, you know, from the very
beginning. Okay, I can shift a little bit. And here's what I
think.
May or may,
you know, there's just something about you that pisses me off. He
was in Congress for years. Who cares about the Congress years?
Hey, one senator supportive. Hey, nobody likes him. Nobody
wants to work with him. He got nothing done. I can do anything.
I want. I It was nuts. I have all of the power, all of the
power. It was all just full
Loni and I feel so bad that you know people got sucked into it.
Hey, honestly, Bernie's This drove me crazy. I don't think
anybody had any idea that he had fallen into a depression because
the crushing intensity now no we already knew what he was going
to do too much
ridiculous conspiracy theories
