# Internet of Dogs > A corporate takeover of the podcasting industry meets a massive executive shift in Washington as the administration attempts to buy the midterms with debt forgiveness. - **Show:** [The No Agenda Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/index.md) - **Episode:** 1480 - **Published:** 2022-08-27 - **Length:** 3h 4m - **Topics:** Paxlovid rebound, [Podcast Movement](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/podcast-movement.md), [Student debt](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/student-debt.md), [Immunity debt](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/immunity-debt.md), [Neopronouns](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/neopronouns.md), Darya Dugina, Windmill gummies - **Web page:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1480-internet-of-dogs ## About this episode Donald Trump faces mounting criticism as high-profile Paxlovid rebound cases involving Jill Biden and Joe Biden shift the public narrative surrounding COVID-19 vaccine efficacy. The fallout coincides with Anthony Fauci announcing his retirement from the NIAID after 38 years, while figures like Dan Bongino publicly express regret over booster mandates. These shifts in the medical establishment arrive as Pfizer seeks FDA authorization for a new bivalent Omicron booster targeting the BA.4 and BA.5 variants. At Podcast Movement 2022 in Dallas, organizers issued a public apology for the presence of Ben Shapiro, sparking a debate over corporate ESG influence and the marginalization of non-mainstream voices. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden bypassed Congress to announce a $10,000 student loan forgiveness plan, a move Karine Jean-Pierre claims is offset by deficit reduction despite expiration of one-time emergency spending. Internationally, United Kingdom health data reveals a sharp rise in excess deaths among the elderly, and New Zealand reports a massive spike in respiratory illnesses attributed to immunity debt from prolonged lockdowns. Sir Jack of the Industrial Laundries joins the ranks of the No Agenda knighthood alongside Knight ZH Commenter as the Value for Value model continues to challenge corporate media structures. The segment features a bizarre look at Michigan researchers proposing wind turbine blades be recycled into edible gummy bears. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak break down the linguistic shift of neopronouns and the curious case of a triple infection involving monkeypox, COVID-19, and HIV. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.

Podcast Movement 2022, Corporate Influence and Value for Value (3:03–7:45) Podcast Movement 2022 in Dallas, Texas, is characterized as a highly corporate event where speaking slots are tied to sponsorship levels. Despite being a pioneer of the medium, one host notes he was never officially invited by organizers and only spoke via a slot provided by Buzzsprout. The "Value for Value" model is described as the antithesis of the conference's corporate and advertising-heavy focus.

The Flow Podcast, YouTube Podcast Page and Super Chats (11:39–15:42) The Flow podcast, featuring Nicky and Moose, serves as an example of the new "influencer" style of podcasting prevalent at the Dallas conference. YouTube's new dedicated podcast page is noted as a significant industry shift, though it currently functions as a curated video board. The segment highlights the focus on live monetization through small Super Chat donations during broadcasts.

Diversity Quotas, White Male Speakers and Session Logistics (18:26–21:33) The Podcasting 2.0 session was relegated to a remote room with minimal promotion, drawing approximately 60 attendees including representatives from AfriPods. Claims are made regarding strict diversity quotas for speakers at the conference, suggesting that white male presenters are being marginalized. The hosts argue that these corporate "ESG" standards are demeaning to the decentralized nature of the medium. Keywords: diversity quotas, [bipoc](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/bipoc.md), [podcasting 2.0](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/podcasting-2-0.md), [dave jones](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/dave-jones.md), afripods, [dallas](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/dallas.md) [Chapter transcript](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1480-internet-of-dogs/chapter/6.md) ### 7. Christian Podcasters, De-platforming Threats and Jen Briney (21:34–23:29) Christian podcasters at the Dallas event report being threatened with expulsion if a single complaint is lodged against their content.

Ben Shapiro, Daily Wire Controversy and Podcast Movement Apology (23:30–29:30) Podcast Movement organizers issued a public apology on Twitter following a brief, unscheduled appearance by Ben Shapiro at the Daily Wire's exhibit booth. The statement characterized Shapiro's presence as "harmful" and "dangerous," leading to accusations of anti-Semitism and corporate virtue signaling. The hosts argue this reaction proves the conference has been captured by ESG consultants and gatekeepers.

The service, founded by Heather, targets podcasters who are tired of production but wish to see their shows continue under new ownership. One host mentions submitting the show to the broker out of curiosity regarding its market value.

Internet of Bodies, Nanotechnology and Microsoft Patent (31:56–37:37) A viral video claims that an "intrabody nano network" is being administered via vaccines to link humans to the "Internet of Bodies." The theory suggests self-assembling nanotechnology and quantum dot tattoos will facilitate a new digital financial system owned by corporations like BlackRock. The hosts express skepticism, labeling the "quantum financial system" claims as factually incorrect while acknowledging existing patents for human-based data harvesting.

UK Excess Deaths, Age Demographics and Heart Disease (37:38–39:44) United Kingdom health reports indicate a significant rise in excess deaths starting in week 15 of 2022, particularly among the 75-79 age demographic. While the Department of Health cites circulatory diseases and diabetes as primary factors, observers note the spike correlates with mass vaccination timelines. The data shows double-digit percentage increases in mortality across multiple age groups compared to the 2015-2019 average.

New Zealand Immunity Debt, Respiratory Illness Spike (39:45–42:00) New Zealand is experiencing a massive surge in non-COVID respiratory illnesses, with some data suggesting citizens are "seven times sicker" than pre-pandemic levels. Experts attribute this to "immunity debt" caused by prolonged lockdowns and lack of exposure to seasonal viruses. Despite high vaccination rates, the country is seeing record levels of flu, gastro bugs, and sore throats.

Michigan Mystery Dog Virus, Parvovirus Identification (48:33–52:09) A mysterious illness killed over 30 dogs in Michigan, primarily affecting animals under two years old with severe gastrointestinal symptoms.

Tucker Carlson Sarcasm, John Oliver Supercut (52:10–56:44) John Oliver's program aired a supercut of Tucker Carlson making statements that align with left-wing views, presented as "Tucker being right." The hosts discuss how sarcasm in media is often weaponized or misinterpreted, citing Donald Trump's past comments as a similar example. They argue that the supercut reveals the sincere ideological biases of the John Oliver writing staff.

Gender Affirming Care, Child Abuse Claims and Border Bus Strategy (56:44–58:59) The debate over providing puberty blockers to children has intensified, with both sides accusing the other of child abuse. Separately, the strategy of Texas Governor Greg Abbott shipping migrants to New York City and Washington D.C. is discussed. Critics argue this may inadvertently help migrants gain citizenship faster in sanctuary cities, while supporters view it as a necessary redistribution of the border crisis burden.

Student Loan Forgiveness, Pell Grants and Income Thresholds (58:59–1:02:43) President Joe Biden announced an executive action to cancel $10,000 in federal student loan debt for individuals earning less than $125,000 annually. Recipients of Pell Grants, who demonstrate exceptional financial need, are eligible for up to $20,000 in forgiveness. The move is framed as a fulfillment of a campaign promise, though it faces significant debate regarding fairness and economic impact.

Student Debt Politics, Deficit Reduction Claims and Karine Jean-Pierre (1:02:43–1:07:10) White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre sparred with reporter Peter Doocy over the funding of student loan forgiveness, claiming it is offset by a $1.7 trillion deficit reduction. The hosts argue this figure is misleading, as the reduction stems from the expiration of one-time COVID-19 emergency spending rather than fiscal policy. The timing of the debt relief is viewed as a strategic move to influence the upcoming midterm elections.

National Deficit Realities, Accrued Interest and Susan Rice (1:07:12–1:09:37) The US national deficit has returned to pre-pandemic levels of approximately $1 trillion following the expiration of PPP loans and stimulus checks. While the administration touts debt forgiveness, critics point out that borrowers still accrued $4 billion in interest during the payment pause. White House advisor Susan Rice has returned to the public spotlight to defend the plan's undetermined total cost.

Executive Power Limits, Nancy Pelosi and Legal Challenges (1:09:37–1:15:36) A past clip of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi surfaces where she explicitly states the President does not have the power to forgive student debt without an act of Congress. The hosts predict that the GOP will sue to block the executive order, allowing Democrats to frame Republicans as the "bad guys" who took away the money. This legal battle is expected to be a central theme of the 2022 election cycle.

Fairness Debate, Voter Demographics and Student Debt (1:15:38–1:18:06) The "fairness" of student loan forgiveness is debated on social media, with proponents comparing it to the transition from horse-drawn carriages to cars. The hosts suggest that the policy primarily targets existing Democratic voters and may not significantly shift the electoral map. They argue the GOP may actually gain points by focusing on the perceived unfairness to those who already paid their loans or did not attend college.

Neopronouns, Ne-Nem-Nir and Linguistic Confusion (1:46:24–1:50:16) A series of TikTok clips features individuals explaining "neopronouns" such as "it," "hue," and "ne-nem-nir." One creator claims these pronouns have existed for over a century, while another accidentally uses a conventional pronoun ("he") while explaining her gender-neutral set. The hosts mock the complexity and perceived absurdity of these linguistic shifts.

God Pronouns, Agender Identity and Piercing Hygiene (1:50:16–1:54:20) A TikTok creator explains why they use "God" as a pronoun despite being an atheist, claiming it validates their "agender" identity. The video features the creator cleaning facial piercings with hydrogen peroxide during the explanation, which the hosts find "gross." The discussion concludes that these identities are often a rejection of conventional norms rather than rigid theological or biological stances.

Children's Hospital Philadelphia, Gender Clinics and Medical Providers (1:57:23–2:00:41) The director of the gender clinic at Children's Hospital Philadelphia encourages healthcare providers to ask adolescent patients how their "assigned" sex at birth "fits" them. The hosts criticize the medicalization of gender identity, calling it a "snake pit of sterilization" driven by financial incentives for "providers." They argue that these conversations are being pushed on children as young as six years old.

Hysterectomy Prioritization, Transgender Identity and TikTok Safety (2:00:41–2:02:39) A report from Australia claims a woman had to lie and identify as a trans man to receive a life-saving hysterectomy because "gender-affirming care" was prioritized over other medical needs. The hosts discuss how TikTok has become the only "safe" outlet for people to voice frustrations with a captured medical system.

Liz Cheney, Mussolini Comparisons and Demagogue Warnings (2:05:22–2:09:07) C-SPAN callers discuss the political fallout of Liz Cheney's primary loss, with some arguing that white Americans have abandoned their principles. An Independent caller warns that the story of electing a "demagogue" always ends with the loss of rights for everyone, referencing historical dictators. The hosts question whether the callers are referring to Trump or Biden in their critiques.

Yamiche Alcindor, Democratic Anxiety and Election Deniers (2:09:08–2:11:39) Journalist Yamiche Alcindor reports that 74% of Americans believe the country is headed in the wrong direction, citing Democratic fears of a Trump return. Alcindor notes that voters are particularly worried about "election deniers" winning in 2022 and 2024, as well as the future of abortion rights.

Population Shifts, LIFO Scripture and Majority Rule (2:11:39–2:13:52) A Democratic caller on C-SPAN argues that current political battles over voting and abortion are attempts to prevent a future where Caucasians are no longer the majority. The caller cites scripture, stating "the first will be last and the last will be first," which the hosts jokingly link to the "LIFO" (Last In, First Out) accounting principle.

Wind Turbine Gummy Bears, Composite Resin Recycling (2:13:52–2:16:32) Researchers in Michigan claim to have developed a process to recycle wind turbine blades into edible products like gummy bears using a composite resin. The story is framed as a solution to the massive waste generated by decommissioned turbine blades, which are typically made of fiberglass or carbon fiber. The hosts mock the idea of eating "windmill gummies" as a way to reduce a carbon footprint.

Miller Organic Farm Raid, Raw Milk and USDA Conflict (2:16:32–2:21:34) Armed federal agents raided Miller Organic Farm, an Amish-run operation in Pennsylvania, demanding it cease operations and pay $300,000 in fines. The conflict centers on the farm's sale of raw milk and unpasteurized dairy to a private food club, which violates USDA regulations. The hosts argue the USDA has a "hard on" for raw milk and uses safety concerns like listeria to shut down independent holistic farmers.

Ukraine Land Sales, Monsanto and IMF Loan Stipulations (2:21:35–2:23:52) Following the 2014 coup in Ukraine, IMF loan stipulations reportedly forced the government to open up its "black soil" farmland to foreign corporations. Major GMO giants like Monsanto and DuPont have since purchased approximately 30% of Ukraine's fertile land. The hosts suggest the conflict in Ukraine has facilitated a massive land grab by global food processors.

Emmanuel Macron, End of Abundance and Energy Costs (2:25:38–2:28:13) French President Emmanuel Macron warned citizens of the "end of abundance" and a "carefree time," citing global upheaval and the price of freedom.

The hosts characterize these statements as a planned reduction in living standards.

Sanna Marin, Finland NATO Bid and Ed Muskie Comparison (2:32:26–2:35:21) Leaked videos of Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin partying have sparked a debate about her leadership and personal life.
