John C Dvorak: it used to be as
a matter of fact you like
Adam Curry: remember I remember
used to be I knew that
John C Dvorak: in us in February
March I think it's February You
Adam Curry: bet you have you
read about that conspiracy about
the the Super Bowl logo that you
John C Dvorak: apparently Yeah,
yeah, so the coolers determine
who's gonna colors that are in
the new newly designed logo at
the beginning of the year the
colors of the teams that the
game
Adam Curry: Hey, your volumes. I
can jack you up here but you're
really outputting low. Did you
change something? Nope. Oh? Why
do I even ask?
John C Dvorak: What do you ask?
I never change anything because
I don't use this this whole rig
except once a week twice a week
Adam Curry: I'm just I'm just
gonna jack you up
John C Dvorak: that day it's
regular. It's not
Adam Curry: but okay. It is. I'm
going to jack you up here I can
jack you up here but that you
normally I have you plus two dog
biscuits now I've got yet five
so just saying
John C Dvorak: baby it's the
connection. No, it's not the
connection. The connection it
could be it could be clean feed
connection is protection.
Adam Curry: Yeah, sure. What do
you got no protection here. This
thing is no good. Oh, anyway, so
it's okay I just jacked you up a
bit. I just wanna make sure you
educate the gate man. Well, well
well well well, it was very hard
for the M five M to admit what
was really going on. What's
going on now about this hole.
This hole in the plane there's a
hole in the plane. The
John C Dvorak: hole hole in the
plane there's a whole lot of way
they made it when they first
when this story first appeared.
I don't have any clips. You
probably do I do. Or maybe I do.
I don't think I do. But whatever
the case, when they first showed
the shot of it from the inside
of the plane, they made it sound
like the sight of the plane just
flew like a hole. Yeah, like a
window and it is a door. It was
a it was a door assembly. That's
the point. And they never
mentioned this until later
reports Exactly. And what's
going on, you must have some
sides on Sunday. I do first
Adam Curry: Let's Play. The most
recent update
Unknown: flight 1282 carrying
177 passengers was 35 minutes
into its journey from Oregon to
Ontario, California. When part
of the fuselage was torn off
leaving a hole in the side of
the aircraft. The pilot was
forced to alert aircraft control
to the severity of the
situation. We are depressurized
but we do need to return back
passengers spoke of hearing for
emergency oxygen masks dropped
video footage shot on board
shows the dangling masks and a
huge gap where the window should
have been and the passengers
themselves being remote when
I look to my left and there's
this huge chunk part of the
airplane just like missing and
extremely loud there's wind
blowing everywhere so it was a
trip from the plane landed
safely at Portland to the relief
of all on board among them even
Smith
there's not anything I have any
control over it's just wait and
see what happened and they said
there was a kid in that row who
his shirt was sucked off him and
this
Adam Curry: this everyone had
this bit and the shirt was
sucked I'm I'm I'm going to
question that part of the
report.
John C Dvorak: Like there was
that and then the other one
which a lot of the way I have a
report for PBS I have the PBS
version from yesterday if you
want to play it the other thing
that kept throwing they kept
throwing into the mix was the
cell phones
Adam Curry: Yes. Cell cell
phones flew out
John C Dvorak: now watch I
questioned that because who's
nobody's on their cell phone on
these on these?
Adam Curry: Everybody's on their
cell? When's the last time you
flew? Book COVID We everyone's
on their cell phone everybody.
They're watching movies to play
in games. If coma
John C Dvorak: if you're
watching movie Yeah, then you
wouldn't have on their phones.
John,
Adam Curry: please. Like these
days there's no inflight
entertainment. You get what you
connect to the Wi Fi you can
either pay for the Internet, or
you can watch the movies on your
phone. You need three laptops.
When do you need to get out
you're gonna grab a house and
going nowhere.
Unknown: Late today the FAA
ordered the temporary worldwide
grounding of about 171 Boeing
737 Max nines until the planes
can be inspected. It comes after
a window blew out of a month's
old 739 Max nine last night at
about 16,000 feet six minutes
after the Alaska Airlines Flight
took off from Portland, Oregon.
The rapid depressurization
sucked a t shirt off a child. No
one was seriously hurt in the
plane. They that emergency
landing safely back in Portland.
Adam Curry: How come no one
interviewed the mom of that they
got everybody, everybody they
interviewed but they don't have
the mom with a kid whose t shirt
got sucked. I would
John C Dvorak: think that would
be one person to interview in
the second one. This report just
came out yesterday. This is from
yesterday's PBS weekend news
hour. And again, it sounded like
a window blew out when it was an
entire door assembly. Well, yes,
this. So first, what is the
reason for covering that up?
Well,
Adam Curry: because it's really
the airlines who have made
determinations about your
safety. And this comes from our
buddy Joe over there to NL Ria,
which is airline backwards, I
have a hardest time remembering
that URL, I have to look up his
email every single time en
ILRIA. Airline reverse. Anyway.
And Neil RIA B says, okay, he
says it was a door plug that
came off. Because Alaska
Airlines with every other single
airline sip, I think there's
one, there's one, one of the low
cost European carriers, when
they receive these planes brand
new, they have determined by
law. And I don't know when this
was or by FAA regulation don't
know when this was determined
that you only need one emergency
exit per 50 seats. So these
planes come equipped with an
emergency door right there where
the hole blew out. But then they
modified these planes after they
come off the assembly line. So
they can put in a couple extra
seats. And the door plugs that
that hold that horse hold that
assembly in place minus the
slide minus all you know all the
stuff that you would normally
have there. If the door plug
they should never blow out
because this the door plug is
that basically a fake door
that's been put in there. And it
should never blow out because of
its design, which is concave.
But this plane had previous
pressurization problems. Oh,
they didn't mention that in the
report. Good work PBS. Good work
BBC. So either they over
pressurized or they may have
been which could have been for
passenger comfort 16 16,000
feet, you're pressurizing it
that well you're pressurizing
pretty quickly actually. So over
pressurization that may be they
they under pressurized, and the
thing just blew right out. But
it's all in. So it's pilot
error, probably. Or aircraft
air. That's possible. But the
bottom line is, this should just
be an emergency door there. The
way it comes off the assembly
line, just to squeeze in a few
extra seats. They might they're
approved, of course. But if you
have a hole in the plane, where
you have a door, it comes off
the assembly line like that.
Maybe it would be modified them
upfront. Instead of putting a
door plug in there. That's
really That's it makes no
John C Dvorak: sense. Yeah. Boy,
they don't care
Adam Curry: about you. They
don't care. They don't care
about your safety at all, at
all. So that's really what what
happened is, you know, this is a
modified plane where they put a
plug in there instead of the
door I will never sit next to
that spot ever in any plane if
the if I know it's there, which
you'd have to know because you
can't really tell. And so the
reason that the fact that they
really didn't talk about a door
in most of the reports was to me
a little suspicious
John C Dvorak: and no one that
is very suspicious because when
you see the side of the plane
when they find it door did show
that it's a door I
Adam Curry: know I know. I love
that so this news model had some
melts on her mind. You know the
news now Alaska Airlines
Unknown: is grounding its fleet
of 736 Nine Max
Adam Curry: jets after are
really 736 Nine. Is that what
you're thinking of? What are the
gaff that is how do you get from
737 Max nine to 736 Nine.
John C Dvorak: I may have heard
that a couple of times myself.
Maybe there's just a bunch of
jokers.
Adam Curry: Maybe Maybe whatever
the case all the board
Unknown: trains good planes At
Adam Curry: the end, just
because it was a female pilot
doesn't mean anything. In fact,
it's probably the first officer
who monitors pressurization. But
there's lots of stuff going on
with these dei hires and we've
talked about it. You know, we
know that a lot of ex navy and
air force pilots can't get a job
because the after they after
they leave service because you
have to either be gay black or
female to get a job. If that's
what all the airlines are hiring
em. And this is this was a
someone on on X was was exiting,
slashing tweeting to United
Airlines, because this person
knows what's going on with with
aviation. On July 29, the United
States or at Hey, at United on
July 29, United plane was nearly
totaled after a hard landing who
was flying that aircraft? Was it
the co pilot, a former flight
attendant who was fired and then
rehired through United's dei
program, despite being enlist
and not returned to United? Am I
correct that this individual
failed multiple trainings,
including simulator training? Am
I also correct that United has
covered up this dei disaster and
many others? was the number two
at the Denver hiring center also
onboarded through Dei, did she
or did she not change fit?
Failed grades for dei hires
because quite quote, it makes
the numbers look bad. Didn't the
instructor who failed this co
pilot asked corporate why they
passed him. This is this is a
disaster that's going on. Of
course we know all the ATC guys
are stoned and drunk. They told
us ourselves I have dad's Great.
So now therefore some people on
the trains that's what that's
always how it winds up get on
the train. So you've learned
something here, you can sound
smart now at the watercooler
tomorrow. When everyone's
talking about other stuff, you
can say you know what, that was
an actual door and they take
that door out because they want
to jam more seats in what that's
that's a safety issue. That's
what they should be looking at.
Not anything else. But of
course, you know, let's let's
ground. Let's ground the whole
fleet. And I'm sure I'm sure
it's a problem. modifying it
after the fact. So there you go.
You're up to speed.
John C Dvorak: Sounds like it.
Adam Curry: Let's just do
something completely completely
off topic from news because I
was so I was so excited to get
this clip this morning. Normally
or passed away last year, and we
know that Norman Lear was part
of the Hollywood he he started
the Hollywood Foundation, which
created a lot of propaganda
John C Dvorak: that was actually
called the Norman Lear
foundation. Was it called
Adam Curry: the I thought it was
the Hollywood I thought it was
the Hollywood foundation. Are
you sure Miller Yeah. Hmm.
Because we have a clip of
John C Dvorak: the Hollywood
found anything there is a
Hollywood foundation
Adam Curry: let me see
foundation. Foundation Hollywood
that's what it is. Hola, Leah
foundation Hollywood. Oh, no,
I'm sorry. Right. Lear
Foundation, Hollywood. That's
what it was. Health and Society.
So we've talked about Norman
Lear how influential his his his
programming was. And I would say
that we always thought the most
influential was all in the
family, which really created
this Archie Bunker archetype,
which would have been a
traditional Democrat back in the
day but was positioned as a
Republican and that really
changed certainly the United
States his image of what a blue
collar Republican looks like,
right?
John C Dvorak: was when there
was no such thing there was no
Adam Curry: well he created that
he created that Magga Archie
Bunker, oh gee Maga. So Desmond
Wilson. Most people won't know
his name. He was Lamont on
Sanford and Son, legendary
legendary show with red fox.
That was what it was called
right Sanford and Son. They ran
a junkyard together he got it.
And so Desmond Wilson is
interviewed by some podcaster
because he was asked a question
about Norman Lear by some M five
M guy and so yet he's he's got
something his craw about Norman
Lear. And in this relatively
short clip, he lays out just a
little bit more of the genius of
Norman Lear. What was
Unknown: it? What was the main
point you were trying to make
clear about Norman Lear that he
wasn't involved with Sanford and
Son as much he was given credit
for it was that the main
thing was what a lot of people
missed. I said, when I saw the,
when my agent called me and
said, watch the show. I said, I
don't want to do television, as
I said, and I watched the show I
came away thinking So this is
the beginning of the dissolution
of the patriarchal system. And
on the heels of that, the
announcer tried to cut me off.
So let me let me finish. Because
on the heels of that came
married with children, and then
all of a sudden parents became
idiots and kids became all
knowing women, young women
started calling their mother bi
tch word and rebelling. And it
all started normally. I said,
they asked me what I said, I
will say this about him. He was
a visionary. Right. But then
when I heard about his political
affiliations, it all fell into
place. And I knew that I knew I
was right on the money. No, I
said, it went on, on and on and
on ad infinitum. And what we're
experiencing now is the
evolution of what Norman Lear
started with all in the family
and nobody got it. They missed
it. Totally. They said all the
bonds talking about Northern
didn't hurt. I said, people have
been so dumbed down. Like
Malcolm said, some of us were
going to have to leave behind
the to YouTube, brainwashed to
understand
Adam Curry: Demin Wilson, not
Desmond Desmond Wilson. I just
love that. I never considered
that it started with Sanford and
Son makes so much sense.
John C Dvorak: Well, he himself
said to start with all in the
family. Right,
Adam Curry: but it was yes. All
in the Family. But really the
when, when the child parent
relationship broke apart was
Sanford and Son married with
children? We forget that one.
Yeah, that wasn't Norman Lear.
No, but it was a follow on and
it was the it was the whole
start of everything. It
John C Dvorak: was the extreme
version of everyday lives to
this day. I think married with
children is a cake is a curious
genius level of programming.
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah. Everyone
loves it. Dads, we're proud of
beyond like Ted Bundy. I sit
there with my hand in my pants,
watching the TV. People loved it
was great. Yeah, the Little did
you know, Little did you know.
I'll just stick with
transgenderism. First.
John C Dvorak: Well, you know,
it was just it's just before you
change the subject completely.
I'm not the new networks that
have evolved from the open air
digital system. And if you get
OTA antennas, there's me TV,
meaty b two, there's antenna.
There's a bunch of these
networks. And they've got
they've got no programming.
They're not going to do any. But
there is so much stuff in the
can that they're recycling it.
So the public at large is
getting to watch old black and
white material from the late 50s
and mid 60s, including Ozzie and
Harriet. And Leave It to Beaver.
And the shows which have a
completely different mentality
than any of the programming that
came after Norman Lear. Right.
And it's fascinating to watch
some of these old dog shows that
are, you know, some many of them
are put together. Especially
Leave It to Beaver. They're put
together so so beautifully by
producers back then who really
knew what they were doing. As
opposed to the kind of the slop
that comes out today. It's it's,
it's, it's very contrast the I
don't know what effect that's
going to have on the American
psyche, but it's going to have
something
Adam Curry: I like to the two
shows I like but there's one
that I can't find any more
really, but the one that I like
on OTA is Gunsmoke guns
guestbooks on
John C Dvorak: on a couple of
channels. Yeah. Guk Well, of
course, heroes and icons, I
think is that channel.
Adam Curry: How about Little
House on the Prairie?
John C Dvorak: Lots of the
praise on I
Adam Curry: have not seen it
What's that on? Where can I find
I love little I can't remember
which which
John C Dvorak: was one of the
networks is one of these screwy
networks. I love Little House on
the Prairie I read the show was
the worst. I hated Little House
on the Prairie. And the fact
that is on now. makes you mad.
Hate It makes me mad. It's so
stupid. No,
Adam Curry: but it was
beautiful. If Have you ever read
the books? No course not this
good books that Laura Ingalls
wrote this about the Pioneer. I
mean, it was not the same as the
TV show. Paul, the man those
that it was hard times back in
the day. Well, yeah, when they
were settling, settling the
West. Yeah, that's good stuff.
But a group, the who I don't
know if it started in the US,
but there's a British group. Now
just I want to stick a stick in
the trans Maoism which of course
Norman Lear had a hand in as to
where we are today. But I find
this so peak woke And so
disturbing that this has now
taken the UK by storm.
Unknown: Drag syndrome is
celebrating their big premiere
in Berlin. They're Britain's
first professional drag
collective for performers with
Down syndrome.
The feeling I get from
performing if the more my sales
Hey, I'm Nick, aka initiates a
cold day with Nikita
Adam Wilde, aka
loyal lady, to those who work
and show off Gaga.
Adam and the other members of
drag syndrome take on different
persona has went on stage and
for them, it's a rebellion
against society, and a statement
for more diversity and inclusion
for people with disabilities.
Plus, it's a whole lot of fun.
Since the group was formed in
2018, the members have toured on
several continents. They've also
performed at the famous
Glastonbury Festival. And for
the fashion magazine vote, it's
still rare to see people with
Down syndrome performing on
stage. The dance collective
wants to encourage other people
with disabilities to pursue
their passion.
Adam Curry: This really disturbs
me, I've worked with all kinds
of Downey end
John C Dvorak: of civilization
you're playing a clip by the
way, instead of doing that the
show begin knighted pilots.
Adam Curry: What what did you
say?
John C Dvorak: I said he should
be united pilots.
Adam Curry: A good one. So, you
know, I've worked with Downey's
in a lot of different situations
as the called Downey's by the
way and a lot of situations. And
I'm sure that they love
performing but I'm pretty sure
they're not necessarily drag
queens people who need to
perform as women which is
usually gay men. Usually. It's
you know, it's this is just
making a mockery. It's so woke
and so yeah, exactly. They
should just put them up to up in
the cockpit. If you want them on
stage and drag have them fly
around. The I worked with a very
famous Dutch Downey band called
The juste band never tell the
story. Nope, they use the band J
O S T, I can look it up. They're
still around the just the band
uresti And so they would perform
they they would perform it I
think I was doing a drive in DJ
show or something and they were
there and and the way that
certainly the the keyboardist
they had a couple of keyboardist
they on their keys they had all
colors you know, so they they
would hit the right colors
orange, blue, yellow, you know,
no know what to play so they
could remember what they're
playing. But this particular
gig, they had a confetti cannon
this confetti cannon goes off
this confetti everywhere. They
didn't know what keys to hit
anymore. It was it was all over
everything had all these
different little colored balls
on it. Good times with the
Downey's okay. So anyway, I just
found this disturbing end of
civilizations it Yeah, it's
right or being it's disturbing.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, like freak
shows. Yeah, that's
Adam Curry: exactly this like to
the bearded lady. Yeah. And
John C Dvorak: in a lot more of
that. Anyway,
Adam Curry: the 18 for you, the
18 foot man with the mitten with
his midget wife. Oh, my
goodness. So where do you want
to go? I mean, there's been
obviously been a lot of
political news in the United
States, mainly, Trump and Biden.
Biden. Did his big January 6.
Commemoration speech on January
5, which Yeah, that sounds right
was just completely lame. He was
definitely jacked. But he wasn't
overjoyed not over jacked but I
did by chance have dinner with
some friends of who are in the
medical field here I don't want
to take it too far. And I said
what do you think he was jacked
up on with without skipping a
beat? You know my my man says
Adrenochrome No, yes. And I say
Drina comb really that easy?
Yes. in powder form. You can get
Adrenochrome in the United
States powder.
John C Dvorak: You can people
should look up Audrina Chrome in
the wicked people.
Adam Curry: Yeah, he says that
and probably some Parkinson
drugs, which can it's like
epinephrine like on steroids,
epinephrine and steroids is but
he said Adrenochrome Parkinson's
drugs. He says you got to be
careful because you can take it
too far but he's deaf. Only
jacked up on that. And it but
the first thing you said was,
yeah, is that this is not the
old Biden, this is a different
Biden, which I also thought
looking at his hair. This hadn't
been did we lose the original
Biden? This guy doesn't look
like him anymore?
John C Dvorak: Well, that's a
good question. He really
possible I mean, I mean,
obviously we've seen enough
movies that know that this is
always in the script.
Adam Curry: Doesn't really look
like the like, well, he's
John C Dvorak: still got to st
might be when did we lose him?
No. Do we lose him after the
original election? Because he
still has the same cadence and
he still has the same? No, no,
I'm not kidding. No joke, not a
joke. When when they applause
and it's like he's triggered
when there is an applause line.
Yeah, that was the real say, No,
I'm not kidding. No joke. He
Adam Curry: didn't say that at
all this
John C Dvorak: time. Did he?
Yes, he did. I don't have a I
didn't bring a copy with me. But
he did. He did the firt. The
first round of applause he got
he says, No, I'm not kidding.
Okay. And I was thinking about
why does he say that? If you're
a politician, and you get a
round of applause. Have you been
getting rounds of applause over
the years? For people telling
you to just move along? Like
their words? You said something?
They get? Yeah, yeah. Clap,
clap, clap. Go on to the next
topic. Yeah. So they're not
taking you seriously. Because
he'll say, seriously, right.
When it gets a round of
applause.
Adam Curry: I think we lost the
OG Biden in the basement. Don't
you think that's where it?
Where'd he the switch happened?
John C Dvorak: Well, it's
definitely the same Biden that
got elected. And whether this is
the original Biden, the real the
real Dubberly, Joe Biden, who is
a real kind of a wise acid, a
snarky, yes. As opposed to the
Joe Biden, who has hairy legs. I
got hairy legs, that Joe Biden,
I think the Joe Biden was
swapped out before the election.
If you're new to the new,
remember this show in our show,
we played the drunk not drunk.
Yes, yes. Yeah, we play Biden
clips. And those Biden clips are
reminiscent of what we're
hearing today.
Adam Curry: If you're new to the
no agenda show, don't worry. It
gets better. It does. I'm new to
the show and they're already
talking about to Biden's I don't
know, man. Have a couple of
packages here. Of of his speech.
This is a roll these out ABC.
Unknown: Tonight in his first
major speech of the election
year, President Biden made the
case Donald Trump is an
existential threat to our
democracy.
This is the first national
election since January 6,
insurrection placed a dagger at
the throat of American democracy
since
Adam Curry: not the worst, some
there's some good writing I
liked dagger at the throat of
American democracy. as writing
goes if I were writing for him,
I kind of liked that one. That
moment.
Unknown: We all know Donald
Trump is question we have two
answers who are way?
Adam Curry: Another interesting
line? Who are we? I think that's
I think that's well thought out.
Of course, when he says I'm
like, I don't know you're one of
the two Biden's That's what's at
stake.
Unknown: Through our way. Biden
traveling to Valley Forge,
Pennsylvania, and woking, George
Washington's words to his troops
at the dawn of the American
Revolution, a sacred
cause that was a phrase used a
sacred cause. freedom, liberty,
democracy. Today, we're here to
answer the most important
questions. Is democracy still
America's sacred cause? Now,
John C Dvorak: this was never
they know, it wasn't democracy.
The sacred code of liberty?
Isn't that he says that to
buddy. He has this thing about,
you know, they're trying to push
this idea, this democracy idea.
And they're pushing it by trying
to keep Trump off the ballot, or
try to arrest him. I think
that's fascinating that everyone
goes along with this. But the
hours listen about democracy,
and besides that they were they
hated democracy they wanted
that's why they became a
republic. Yes.
Adam Curry: But that but that's
the SIOP. And I wonder if that's
still lands, it's so it's almost
like saying, Hitler. It's so
overused democracy, democracy,
democracy is like how do we even
lose democracy? Something we
never had start with, but how do
you lose it? And then and that
was our sacred what do you what
do you say exactly that was our
sacred sacred cause? Maybe.
Unknown: freedom, liberty
democracy. Today we're here to
answer the most important

ChaCha btw Can I be assisting?
Yes. Let's see. So, chat GPT.
The question is, what is
America's sacred? Sacred? Cause?
Is that what he said? Yeah, is
America's sacred cause? Let's
see chat. GPT says the concept
of sacred cows can be subjective

John C Dvorak: Just getting by
by overtaking Biden
Unknown: accusing Trump of using
violence to clean to power,
Trump exhausted every legal
avenue available to him to
overturn the election. Everyone
but the legal path just to Trump
back to the truth. Okay, that I
had won the election and he was
a loser.
Adam Curry: The president you
know, the the the script writers
like, yeah, this will really get
his goat. We'll call him a
loser. He hates it when we do
that. Yeah, yeah, put it in.
That's good, that
Unknown: I'd won the election
and he was a loser.
The President reminded Americans
what Trump told that crowd on
January 6,
he told the crowd to fight like
hell, and all hell was
unleashed. The whole world
watched in disbelief. And Trump
did nothing was among the worst
dereliction of duty by a
president in American history.
The
President warning if Trump wins
re election, the worst could be
yet to come. Trump's
not concerned about your future,
I promise you. Trump is now
promising a full scale campaign
of revenge and retribution. His
words?
Adam Curry: Yeah, that was kind
of weak. Hey, you know, I was
looking at those Rangers or
whatever. They were at the
monument. Did you see any of
that footage?
John C Dvorak: No, I did not.
Adam Curry: So I guess there. It
seemed like park rangers. They
had like Park Ranger hats on. It
could have been but they gotta
like long hair dudes was really
long hair that didn't sit right
with me. Sure. It
John C Dvorak: wasn't women. No,
no. No.
Adam Curry: It was just like,
huh. No tattoos everywhere,
which is okay, I guess that's
permissible. But when you think
of park ranger, you're thinking
of a guy that's, you know,
that's, that's got a buzz cut.
John C Dvorak: Oh, you're not?
Adam Curry: I don't Yeah, well,
you don't think of a guy with a
mullet?
John C Dvorak: I think a guy
that's what I would think. Yeah,
the guy is a park guy to do nice
about nature a man there's this
chipmunk.
Adam Curry: But that's not the
guy you put up front and center
is? No, no, no.
John C Dvorak: We have to get
anyone else you get your dei
issue here we
Adam Curry: have. We have BIA.
That's true. We have park
rangers in and get my nation so
they'll let us know. Shorter
report from NBC
Unknown: tonight the Supreme
Court announced that it'll hear
whether former President Trump
can be banned from the ballot in
Colorado because of his role on
January 6, taking up the
Republican front runners appeal
of a Colorado courts ruling to
kick him off the ballot. Mr.
Trump arguing it's partisan
election interference. The
announcement coming just hours
after President Biden visited
the Revolutionary War site at
Valley Forge. Arguing democracy
is at stake in November. This
is not rhetorical academic or
hypothetical. We
Adam Curry: know the
significance of the
Revolutionary War Memorial. It
what is that trying to tell us
that we're about to have a
revolutionary war against
something and then some China
what are we what is the point?
John C Dvorak: That's when
America at that point is by it
might have it might be a point
to with somebody like Biden,
who's at? Yes, it is pointless.
It's totally pointless to the
general public has been dumbed
down don't even know it. I would
say if you went on the street
and ask people what was Valley
Forge? Who was valley where it
was Valley Forge or anything,
you'd get a zero?
Unknown: Yeah. For the democracy
is still America sacred cause
Adam Curry: it's there it is.
Democracy is still our sacred
cause. It's not even on that not
even number one on the list.
Unknown: Joe is the most urgent
question of our time.
Adam Curry: It's the press
question is not just a question,
the most urgent question.
John C Dvorak: How does he go
from? It's a sacred cause? And
it's a question.
Adam Curry: Yes. Well,
John C Dvorak: how is it a
question,
Unknown: most urgent question of
our time.
It's the president's latest
efforts to draw a contrast with
Mr. Trump, who he's warning is
an existential threat. You know

That's why crooked Joe is
staging is pathetic fear
mongering. campaign event in
Pennsylvania today. Did you say
you say I'm a threat to
democracy? He's a threat to
democracy.
Adam Curry: I think it's good
NBC put that in. And then
finally, yes, CBS.
Unknown: Kicking off the
election year in battleground
state, Pennsylvania, President
Biden directly attacked his once
and potentially future foe,
America. As we began this
election year, we must be clear,
democracy is on the ballot. Your
freedom is on the ballot.
The President rarely invokes
Trump's so directly. Trump's
assault on democracy isn't just
part of his past. It's what he's
promising for the future.
Trump's not concerned about your
future, I promise you. Trump has
now promised a full scale
campaign of revenge and
retribution. There's no
confusion about who Trump is,
what he intends to do.
The speech was meant to remind
Americans in Trump's involvement
of the January 6 insurrection
three years ago Saturday, Trump
did nothing was among the worst
dereliction of duty by a
president in American history.
And it comes as the President's
team believes it can try
refocusing on Trump's attempts
to overturn the 2020 election
results as the economy turns the
corner. Inflation is easing.
There was another positive
monthly jobs report today. And
gas prices are hitting recent
lows. Yeah,
Adam Curry: that's actually in
Biden's favor. That he should be
talking more about that.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Well, he
doesn't even know. Yeah, but
let's go to that when I played
Capehart and Brooks, because
they analyze this
Adam Curry: K part and Brooks.
John C Dvorak: Here's, we're
gonna go with I'm trying to
decide what these two there's
your decision and democracy are
but let's go to K part on Trump.
This is about the this is the
level of discourse you have in
the liberal elite media and what
they actually think this clip is
key part on decision, the
Unknown: Supreme Court deciding
today they will consider a
former President Trump's appeal
of the Colorado State Supreme
Court decision to remove him
from the ballot there that was
on the basis of the insurrection
clause of the 14th. Amendment.
This, Jonathan puts the highest
court in the land squarely in
the center of one of the hottest
political battles this year.
What's your reaction to them
taking this case up and how it's
going to unfold?
They have to take it up? Because
this is one of those questions.
This this ballot access
question. primary ballot access
question in the immunity
question is never been tested in
in our lifetimes or in recent
memory. And the fact that
Colorado and Maine have booted
him from the ballot, Illinois is
trying to join the effort
Minnesota and one other state
that skips Michigan have have
said no, you have a patchwork of
States and California visions.
And I think the prosecutor you
who you had on earlier, makes a
good point. What we have to look
for now is whether the Supreme
Court does a big broad universal
decision or goes very, very
narrow. For a court that puts a
lot of emphasis and a lot of
emphasis emphasis on the
Constitution and what the
framers meant and strict
originalist interpretation. I'm
looking forward to seeing them
maybe upholding the Colorado
decision.
Adam Curry: That's not what
they're going to be arguing
about. But okay.
John C Dvorak: Then he thinks
they should uphold the Colorado
decision. Nobody in their right
mind thinks this. Including
Brooks who says this is he
thinks a world go nuts if that
happened, but this guy thinks
that they should. And he's he's
a complete lunatic. And he's
like one of the main analysts
for PBS along with Brooks and
listen to this second clip from
him where he talks about Trump
and Biden speech.
Adam Curry: On second drive, the
right clip here,
John C Dvorak: the BK part on
Trump, democracy, democracy. I'm
Unknown: sure you all saw
President Biden deliver that
really powerful speech today at
Valley Forge in Pennsylvania. He
is making the threat to American
democracy a central part of his
reelection campaign. What did
you make of this speech and also
him centering that message for
voters? Right? Well,
this is going back to the
beginning. First, this was his
fifth speech since since his
election, on this theme of the
threats to democracy. This is
going back to the beginning
because when he announced he was
running for president in 2020.
He zeroed in on Charlottesville
and talked about this was a
fight for the soul of America.
The his speech today did not
have that as the title, but
that's what he's talking about.
That's what he talked about
today. That's what he's been
talking about in the previous
four speeches. And I think it is
right for him to do this to
focus to focus on that. Because
without democracy, none of the
other things that Americans
want, will get done. And to make
a focus on the potential
Republican nominee, someone who
has said even today, saying
that, you know, I'm only going
to be a dictator for one day,
and all of the other plans that
we know he wants to put in place
if he wins, if he wins election
again, democracy as we know, it
will end Oh, Donald Trump is
reelected. Okay.
Adam Curry: I have 1k part clip,
because k part not only is on
PBS, but he's also on MSNBC.
This guy is a piece of work. I
mean, this is by far one of the
best acting jobs I've ever seen
from a news model, which of
course he is. He brings on one
of the Capitol policemen who has
written a book. This is
interesting dude, by the way,
barely burly dude with a beard
and a huge neck tat. And NK part
introduces him and then just
falls apart.
Unknown: Joining me now in
studio is Michael foreknown,
former DC Metropolitan Police
Officer coverage for America
council member and author of
hold the line the insurrection
and one cops battle for
America's soul. Obviously for
known I'm going to try to get
through this. Thank you for what
you did three years ago today.
Adam Curry: He has a hanky and
everything Capehart is
fantastic.
John C Dvorak: He's an editor at
the Washington Post. This is a
this is a shameful element in
our news media. This joker.
Adam Curry: This is I gotta hear
that again. I love how the voice
cracks he's got the hanky he's
so emotional about this man who
who he's a hero he kept American
democracy held held the line for
Unknown: America so obviously
for known I'm gonna try to get
through this. Thank you for what
you did three years ago today
John C Dvorak: on believable
Adam Curry: house great, these
great more que part. I want you
he's kind of the new Van Jones
in Van Jones cry and
John C Dvorak: evangelists. Band
maybe is the new Van Jones.
That's an interesting point you
just made Yeah. The second half
of the K part group is Brooks.
Yes. You have K part and Brooks.
They do this analysis. Every
Friday on the PBS NewsHour.
There's two guys agreeing with
each other 90% of the time. It's
laughable. It's not you get
nothing out of it. But but you
do get to hear a few interesting
things. Brooks is supposed to be
the more center right? It'd be
even though he's just as left as
the other guy. But listen to
this is because we played a
bunch of clips of Biden in his
speech. And here we go. I want
to play this. This is Brooks
commenting on the Biden energy
Unknown: data. We've talked
about this before. I mean, the
economy has been such a big part
of their message. And even
though the data show it is doing
really well, like when you look
at the big picture numbers,
you've got 216,000 jobs added in
December, the inflation rates
down to 3.1%. unemployment below
4% 4% rather for nearly two
years and yet that isn't
catching on with voters. Is this
message going to resonate? It's
important but not enough. I
think it was a powerful speech.
I
think when he continues to give
powerful speeches like this, he
will further rebut the idea that
he's out of it. There's a
doddering old grandpa. He's
clearly an energetic guy, with
passion, with fervor and with
force. He's the guy running this
administration.
Adam Curry: Where's the sound
effects? She didn't have a
boiling or anything in there.
Come on, that you needed that. I
mean, please. Well, there was a
lot about we have an opinion, by
the way from our constitutional
lawyer on this 14th amendment,
section three, which I will get
to first we need to have a
little mini cut. Now I must
spend a moment on something that
will go on to too much attention
over the next few weeks.
baseless claims by the President
and his supporters. That there
has been widespread voter fraud
baseless

baseless claims about voter

Adam Curry: I think we got the
message. Basically that's it's
weak, baseless.
John C Dvorak: It has a base
it's a claim or it's not a
claim.
Adam Curry: It's baseless.
Whatever it is. It's baseless,
but every claim has a base.
Does. Yes.
John C Dvorak: There's a claim
there's a base to every claim
you make a claim. Unless you're
claiming I don't know what you
could what is a baseless claim.
I mean, the fact that they put
the talking point out there the
Democrats did did a good job of
getting the media to parrot it.
Yep. baseless, baseless,
baseless. It was successful. Job
to Word of the Day is baseless.
Adam Curry: Alright, got
John C Dvorak: it. Got it.
Adam Curry: So let's, of course,
Trump is back on the Colorado
ballot. Because the Supreme
Court has said they will take
the matter up, President
Unknown: Trump is said to be
certified as a candidate on
Colorado's primary ballot
despite the state Supreme Court
ruling him ineligible under the
14th amendment. I want to bring
in senior Washington reporter
Devin Dwyer along with senior
reporter Catherine folders for
more Catherine wise Colorado
Secretary of State Certifying
Trump on the GOP ballot, despite
that ruling. Alright, so this is
tied up in the courts of bid
here. But the bottom line is, if
an appeal of that was like how
Adam Curry: to just gloss over
that, you know, it's like, well,
that's tied up in the courts a
bit here. But that's the whole
point. Right.
Unknown: So this is tied up in
the courts a bit here. But the
bottom line is, if an appeal of
that was filed before today,
he's essentially back on the
ballot. We know, the Colorado
GOP appealed to the US Supreme
Court. That was on December 27.
Even Trump's attorneys
effectively appealed this on
Wednesday, January 3, so that
put him back on the list. That's
why he of course is scheduled to
be certified on this ballot
today. So until the Supreme
Court and I know Devin could
talk more about this, but until
the Supreme Court essentially
picks up the case and acts by
either refusing to review the
case or by somehow siding with
the Colorado Supreme Court. He
is essentially effectively on
the list. I
Adam Curry: love the essentially
effectively. Okay, so we got
that part. So hilarious,
essentially effective. Let's
bring in Devin, he'll explain
what's going on here. Devin,
when
Unknown: could the US Supreme
Court take the case and what's
at stake here?
Adam Curry: This is ABC. Well,
Unknown: Dan, the justices are
meeting right now for their
first regularly scheduled
private conference of the year.
This is when they consider
petitions like President Trump's
petition, and vote on whether
they'll decide to even take up
this case. Now ordinarily,
something like these Trump
appeals, which just came in, in
the past few days, are sort of
too soon to be considered in a
conference like this. But we
know that the parties, as
Catherine mentioned, have asked
the justices to expedite this,
they want a decision quickly.
And that decision could come as
soon as later this afternoon,
whether they will expedite
consideration, not necessarily
that they'll take the case. But
the justices are not on any
fixed timeline so they can rule
whenever they want to. And
they're going to want to be
careful. This is a historic
case, a highly divisive a
political case, one of the
biggest cases politically that
they will have heard or had a
chance to consider since Bush
versus Gore 20 years ago. So
they're going to want to take
their time and potentially take
some off ramps here. Well,
Adam Curry: I've been talking to
our constitutional lawyer, Rob
Forbin. Jag he's been around,
then. And he he's I put it on
the show notes his entire
opinion. It's it's quite
lengthy. And he he's he really
broke it all down the section
three. And he you know, he's
analyzing the text the way you
read it. And of course, you have
the traditionalists who might
say we have to read it in the
context of when it was written.
But he goes through all that.
But he says, I believe that
section three likely does indeed
apply to the president, even
though it's a close call. But
that probably won't be the
issue. The issue will come down
to okay, then if Trump wasn't
insurrectionists, which has yet
to be proven somewhere. Section
five comes into play, which
reads, The Congress shall have
the power to enforce by
appropriate legislation, the
provisions of this article. And
you're already kind of hearing
that narrative spin up, where
Okay, the Supreme Court can say
yes, they'd apply to the
president, but and they probably
would put it but Congress has to
determine what what sanctions
you put on this and to my
knowledge that has never been
done. And when it says the
Congress, I'm presuming that I
don't know what rules that would
go under if it's a straight up
and down majority vote if you
need a supermajority, obviously,
would be the House of
Representatives and the Senate.
So that could be you know, the
House would probably say yes or
no. And the Senate would
probably say yes, based upon
straight party line votes. But I
think this this could actually
be a gambit. In Me, possibly,
because Trump wants this. He's I
want to know, let's get this out
there. Does this apply to me? It
could be a boomerang effect. If,
you know there's a lot of this
was that guy from Louisiana? The
gruff guy. He's on the he's on
the he's on some important
committee. Yummy. Kennedy. No,
no, no, no, no different guy. I
forget his name. Bald guy. He's
a he's kind of a tough guy,
tough guy. Okay, he was on
toggle. He was on Tucker. So he
claims that there were
approximately 200 federal agents
inside and in the crowd on
January 6, if that somehow comes
out, and they have some kind of
we have a year to do it,
basically. And we have some
hearings and then determined
well hold on a second. This was
a scam. Well, then Biden would
be directly involved in an
insurrection. And then it could
apply to him. Wishful thinking,
maybe, but there's something up
with Trump wanting this so
quickly. Yeah, we want this. We
want this. There's something
going on here that I think it'll
come down to Will Congress do
this? Does Congress have the
power? And so now, of course, we
have to start determining if
well, two things really what
really what Trump did Trump
started an insurrection. What
was his role? And George Steph
was flapless. That had a run
down and I guess they got to

News Scavino told investigators
he went in to see Trump as soon
as he saw the violence had
broken out at the Capitol. Now

already said sources familiar
with the matter. So this is all
conjecture that comes now. The
next 50 seconds is all just
whatever sources familiar with
the matter said no one's on

described Trump's sitting in his
small dining room next to the
Oval Office. His arms folded

Unknown: Trump was angry Scavino
told investigators According to
the sources, saying the election
had been stolen from him, and
that his supporters were quote,
angry on his behalf, as has been
described by the January 6
committee report. Second,
John C Dvorak: you have to give
me your calves and he says, this
election was stolen from me, and
they're acting on my behalf.
What do you what kind of
dialogue is this?
Adam Curry: Oh, it's it's
propaganda is what it is, of
course, that that's how you set
the narrative. That's how you
get people to sit there and look
at a half dead guy who's
president and go, you have four
more years
Unknown: stolen from him, and
that his supporters were quote,
angry on his behalf. As has been
described by the January 6
committee report. Other advisors
came in to see Trump as well,
including White House lawyers,
Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows,
and eventually his daughter,
Ivanka Trump, all urging him to
make some kind of statement
telling his supporters to leave
the Capitol. The sources say
Scavino described Trump as non
responsive and his demeanor as
quote very unsettling. As he
continued staring at the TV.
Soon he told investigators all
of the advisors left the room,
leaving Trump alone. i
John C Dvorak: Oh, please,
horses, you know, this is this
is reminding me of this of the
narrative that was created. And
people older, you might even
remember this. During Nixon's,
just before Nixon quit. He
resigned from the presidency
because he was going to be
impeached. And in the end of
media created and this goes back
by the way that our media
deconstruction we could have
been doing this show 30 years
ago, and it wouldn't have been
much different. They created
this notion and it's again, an
unsubstantiated, but it became a
practice kind of like to say it
reminds me of the J. Edgar
Hoover in a dress, which turns
out to be bogus. Yep. But Nixon
was crawling around on his hands
and knees in the right house.
Yes, I
Adam Curry: remember that. Yes,
I was young, but he I sure do.
John C Dvorak: And we get that
stuck in our mind because the
media created the image of Nixon
crawling around in his hands.
And he's there is no evidence of
this. By
Adam Curry: the same token, I
always have the image of
President Obama smoking
cigarettes in the in the in the
residence watching basketball
games. I mean, I'm sure that's
bull crap, too. But
John C Dvorak: that probably
quit smoking. No, he never quit.
But I'm sure he watched a lot of
basketball. You loved it.
Adam Curry: Okay, so now we
continue with Jonathan. Carl's
reports is great reporting.
Jonathan's just fabulous.

According to our sources.
Scavino was asked directly our

who is yourself. I mean, you
could even say a source in the

important point. According to
our sources, Scavino was asked
directly, whether or not he saw
any evidence that there was
voter fraud and enough to
overturn the results in any
state. He said, No, variations
of that exact question have been
asked by virtually everybody who
served Donald Trump at the White
House. And under oath, they have
said over over a grid again,
that none of them saw any
evidence that the election was
stolen. They may have said
different things publicly, but
under oath, they deny any
knowledge that the election had
significant fraud.
Adam Curry: This is fantastic.
Um, so you take some knowledge,
unrelated people who are under
oath and said no, no, no. And
then they tie that to Scavino,
which is something sources say,
I mean, it may very well be
true, but let me come on. This
is not journalism, Jonathan
Karl.
John C Dvorak: So the other
thing is, why are they still
fussing about this? Even Hillary
after the 2016 election and
everybody was denying Trump made
the you know, one It was the
same thing. And he they were in
the Trump denialism and he was
not the legitimate president.
And he's not my president, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah. After
two years of that FTA in within
two years that that ended, this
is never ending. What why? What
is the reason for them? Is this.
Too much of Jackie knows what is
the old phrase where your object
too much?
Adam Curry: complaining too much
off protest too much. The lady
doth protest too much. I think
that's what it is. Well, I think
it's coming down to a showdown.
Then I have the clips that will
possibly show us that this is
true. We have the current
speaker of the house versus the
former Speaker of the House,
it's going to come down to who
do you trust the most?
Unknown: Of course, you have the
trials that could take place
with Jack Smith's investigation.
You also the Supreme Court
taking up this challenge to
President Trump on the 14th
amendment. Do you believe that
Donald Trump engaged in
insurrection?
Yes, I think that he engaged in
insurrection, I think that he
incited an insurrection. And
again, that he would not stop.
What was going on as his own
people said this is your legacy
smoke coming from the Capitol?
Is your legacy? Yes, I do
believe
Adam Curry: that who said that
you believe who said that? This
is your legacy was that sources
who said that?
John C Dvorak: Never heard it. I
never heard all I remember which
they don't want to bring up
especially with Nancy Pelosi
there. They don't want to bring
up the fact that Trump requested
National Guard troops at the
Capitol just to prevent such a
thing from happening. And she
refused to bring them in, like
him that's never brought up as
some sort of thing that maybe
defends him and
Adam Curry: that her daughter
was there with her documentary
camera crew to document this.
Another element that Pelosi is
the smoking gun here because she
was she was she's part of the
plot. And
Unknown: again, that he would
not stop. What was going on as
his own people said this is your
legacy. smoke coming from the
Capitol is your legacy. Yes, I
do believe that. It is a most
unfortunate situation. Our
founders knew that we could have
a rogue president. They didn't
realize that at the same time,
we could have a rogue Senate and
Congress I do this think that
whatever all this happened, poop
on the floor of the Congress
defecation blood. poop on the
floor
John C Dvorak: was like San
Francisco.
Adam Curry: She should be used
to it poop
Unknown: on the floor of the
Congress defecation blood.
disrespect for the people who
maintain the capital coming
after pence coming after me and
the rest. That
Adam Curry: pence coming after
me in the rest. Wow, this is
getting good. Nance. great
Unknown: majority of the
Republicans in the House voted
not to accept. So Madam Speaker.
Adam Curry: Okay, so this is
good, because she's floundering
a little bit here at the end. We
have a second clip. And I have a
feeling that she she's not sure
that the case is, is is as tight
as people would would like to
believe it is that he clearly
participated and incited an
insurrection as a Madam
Unknown: Speaker. If you believe
if you believe he engaged in
insurrection under the plain
meaning of the 14th Amendment,
you believe he's ineligible to
be president. Those
laws are up to the states. They
have different laws from state
to state. I don't think he
should ever have the
Constitution.
Adam Curry: Do you say
something?
John C Dvorak: I yeah, I said
no, that is shouldn't be up to
the states. And if it's up to
the states. I hope that K parser
right in the Supreme Court says
well, it's up to the states and
let the states do it. That means
that Biden will be taken off the
Florida ballot. That was yeah,
I'm just saying DeSantis already
said if that if this is the
case, we can take Biden off the
Florida ballot because he's been
is he's derelict of duty for
stopping the hordes coming in
from Mexico.
Adam Curry: I think she's she's
waffling here she's waffling
she's stuttering she's not
certain of the case here. She
has this is not not airtight
Unknown: those law they're up to
the states they have different
laws from state to state. I
don't think he should ever as
the Constitution but nonetheless
that
Adam Curry: those who sniffed
there was that net I
Unknown: don't think he should
ever as the Constitution but
nonetheless that
Adam Curry: I needed to I needed
to George step back. Hold on a
second. I'll be good and the
second bra.
Unknown: I don't think he should
ever have been constitution but
nonetheless. But
Adam Curry: wow. See without
that talk like that, for that
seek to
Unknown: state. I don't think he
should ever as the Constitution,
but nonetheless
Adam Curry: I just got a hit of
some remnants.
Unknown: There is a view of the
Constitution in Article 14,
section three, that he should
not be able to run for
president. But that's not the
point the point now
Adam Curry: that's not the
point. Ah, okay. What's the
point is
Unknown: that again, different
states have different laws we
don't think in California that
it, it applied in our state.
That's what the decision was
made here. But anyway, not to go
into that, because that's very
intricate.
Adam Curry: Not to go into that
interesting. Yeah, you're right.
She does not want that to
happen. But she sounds She
sounds worried about like, it's
Unknown: very clear.
John C Dvorak: So hold on a
second stop. She said that's not
the point is she was gonna say
the point. Does she say the
point you missed the point as
you move to California talking
about California? But that's not
the point. If that's not the
point, what's the point, let's
Adam Curry: figure it out, are
able
Unknown: to run for president.
But that's not the point. The
point now is, again, different
states have different laws. We
don't think in California, that
it, it applied. In our state,
that's what the decision was
made here. But anyway, not to go
into that, because that's very
intricate. What is very clear,
is that the American people want
us to honor our oath to protect
and defend the Constitution of
the United States. I, you know,
being from Baltimore, I'm proud
of the national anthem. And in
it, it says both through the
night that our flag was still
there, we have to prove through
this campaign and the night that
our flag is still there, with
liberty and justice for all, and
not have an acceptance of
Confederate flags under Lincoln
stone, with a President sitting
in the White House doing nothing
to stop the violence to stop the
violence. He talks about the big
steel. As he again gauges in the
big lie. This
Adam Curry: is my point. She has
nothing she has no point. All
she says is well, mistakes is
not the point the States is not
the point. Well, let's go to the
current speaker of the house.
Mike Johnson. By the way, crazy
guy believes in God he has a sky
daddy, gotta be careful with
this guy. No separation of
church and state who he's very
Wookiee scary. So we'll bring in
Margaret Brennan from CBS to
grill him.
Unknown: 2021 You were the
lawmaker who circulated the The
Legal Brief known as the Texas
amicus brief, challenging the
2020 election outcome in a
number of states, which by CBS
editorial standards makes you an
election denier. Who is
Adam Curry: an election denied
by CBS standards. Go away.
John C Dvorak: See me by CBS,
she says by CBS editorial
standards, yes. Yes. Hold on.
Election denier? Yes. So in
other words, doing what's legal
and proper and going through the
process of of putting together
this this brief? By going
through that process by their
editorial standards? Yes, they
have standards. That's your
election denier. Because you did
the work
Adam Curry: is great. Who runs
this country, CBS News, we have
the standards,
Unknown: challenging the 2020
election outcome and the number
of states, which by CBS
editorial standards makes you an
election denier? Well, can I get
you on the record on that? I've
always been consistent on the
record. Did you read the brief?
Did you get a chance to read
what we found?
I have read extensively some
criticisms of that, but read
commentary about the brief, but
not what we submitted to the
court. Do you recognize that
President Biden won the 2020
election? Can you just put that
was
certified as the winner of the
election, he took the oath of
office. He's been the president
for three years. What the
argument that we presented to
the court, which is our only
avenue to do so was that the
Constitution was clearly
violated in the 2020 election.
It's article two, section one,
and anyone can Google it and
read it for themselves. The
system by which you choose
electors to elect the president,
the United States must be done
by the individual states and the
system must be ratified the
state legislatures, that is
language plain language still
have
issues which the validity of the
2020 election constitution
was violated in the run up to
the 2020 election, not always in
bad faith, but in the aftermath
of COVID. Many states change
their election laws in ways that
violated that plain language.
That's just a fact. We presented
that argument and that that
those facts to the court, and it
was never directly addressed
because the Texas litigation but
that was the only vehicle we had
to present that issue squarely
to the court. So she has not
Adam Curry: read the brief. And
of course he's right. We this
was discussed ad nauseam about
the changes that were made.
Yeah, but that doesn't matter
because you know, Liz Cheney,
Unknown: your colleague, Liz
Cheney, your former colleague,
Mike Johnson, and our Republican
leaders have played a
destructive role. You she says
convinced 125 other Republican
members of Congress to sign on
to an amicus brief that many
never read, that made new just
Adam Curry: like you didn't,
just like you didn't read
John C Dvorak: it, like she
didn't read it.
Unknown: Many, many never read
that made numerous false factual
and constitutional claims. How
do you respond to that? And the
impression that he
Adam Curry: should respond,
Margaret, you ignorant slut,
that would have been funny, but
no man of God won't do that,
Unknown: that you might have
contributed in some way. I
don't spend much time responding
to Liz Cheney's criticism these
days, Liz Cheney worked with the
Democrats on the Jan six January
6, select committee to make all
of this even more politicized,
and it was she was a close
friend and colleague before she
said those choices. Yes, I was
surprised. She's well, I'm
surprised that she's given that
criticism because during that
process, Liz and I were in
constant dialogue about that.
And at one point, she even
considered signing on to that
bill. I'll tell you that that is
a fact. That to that amicus
brief, and we talked about that
a great length and we had a
difference of opinion on the
law, and people can agree to
disagree on that. But I'm
telling you that the plain
language of the Constitution has
never changed. No left
Adam Curry: toe, left toe. Why
is Mike Johnson laughing here?
Because the Constitution hasn't
changed. It's ridiculous
Unknown: about that at great
length. And we had a difference
of opinion on the law and people
can agree to disagree on that.
But I'm telling you that the
plain language of the
Constitution has never changed.
What do you think that's about?
Adam Curry: Why is he Oh, God.
He'll, what's he all laughed
Telly about?
Unknown: And what?
John C Dvorak: That would i I'm
baffled by?
Adam Curry: Well, I think he's
because the Constitution hasn't
changed. Um, so how about this?
I'm so certain of what I'm
doing, you morons. The
Constitution hasn't changed,
Unknown: and people can agree to
disagree on that. But I'm
telling you that the plain
language of the Constitution has
never changed. And what happened
in many states by changing the
election laws without
ratification by the state
legislatures is a violation of
the Constitution. That's a
that's a plain fact that no one
can dispute. Okay,
Adam Curry: we'll wrap it up.
With rapid How
Unknown: do you make sense of
the idea that you still have
issues with the validity of the
2020 election, but you have to
negotiate and talk with the
President of the United States,
Joe Biden,
this is water under the bridge.
I mean, when when the Supreme
Court passed on the Texas
litigation, it did not address
the issue. I believe in the rule
of law. This is our system, we
move forward. And I work with
President Biden as the president
united states, I think that he
will be a one term president.
But you know, this discussion
about what happened in 2020? Is
is yesterday's news.
Adam Curry: There's something
there that we don't understand.
But But Mike Johnson does, the
Supreme Court passing on that
somehow has something to do with
this. Maybe maybe our
constitutional lawyer can
explain. But Bill, regardless,
we need to sigh up the American
people, at least people who
watch MSNBC and explain how an
alternate slate of basically how
the electoral system works.
Because Nancy Pelosi was
partially right. He said, You
know, our constitution was set
up to deal with a rogue
president, it was really set up
to make sure that no nut jobs
become president. That's what
the electoral college is about
the confusion in the United
States. Is that you vote for the
president, you don't. In fact,
the states, most states, I think
you'll have to correct me John
can send a whole bunch of other
people to Washington DC, for a
whole different candidate. It's
not even up to the voters. Am I
correct?
John C Dvorak: I think it's
technically possible. I don't
know that mechanism anymore.
Doesn't happen. So it's kind of
it hasn't happened for I think,
maybe to happen in the I think
this is what 1800s
Adam Curry: This is what was
happening states were sending
alternate slate of electors in
the mainstream media known as
fake electors.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, they're
right, they would use the
Adam Curry: term fake. So Roger
Stone does understand this
process going speaking of Nixon,
and Ari Melber, pulls it all
apart.
Unknown: One Trump ally, who's
actually flown under the radar,
even in the coup case that I
just mentioned, is being brought
by Smith. And yet he's a very
famous figure Roger Stone. You
may recall he was flanked by
Oathkeepers. On January 6, he's
sitting right there outside a DC
hotel that we reported on stone,
discussing and coordinating I
applaud to try to get states and
electors to overthrow the
results that had Trump losing
and stone discussed this idea
about Trump trying to just push
forward alternate electors that
could type of government fraud
that then could sow chaos that
could somehow help them steal
the race on the sixth. You may
remember some of this has now
been further documented, some of
it happened. Here's what we have
on tape.
Any legislative body may decide
on the basis of overwhelming
evidence of fraud, to send
electors to the Electoral
College, who accurately reflect
and reflect the President's
legitimate victory in their
state, which was illegally
denied him through fraud.
Now, that is what he was saying
separately, and over time, we
know that electors who pushed
actual fraud have now been
indicted, or civilly sued in
several states. Stone denies
wrongdoing. He says that states
could legally exercise the kind
of authority he discussed there.
And amidst these reports, we
want to make sure you know that
he previously posted online that
he never plotted the seeding of
fake electors. I've interviewed
him before and we've asked him
to come back on the beat if he
wants to discuss the story, but
that is his public response to
some of this.
Adam Curry: Yeah, he never fake
electors alternatives. Alternate
slate. Yeah, fake electors. No,
right. Right. Right, right.
Right. Right, right. Yep, yep,
yep.
John C Dvorak: But he but the
Melber Alberto's?
Adam Curry: He's a lawyer, by
the way, know, the rap Hip Hop
lyric quoting a lawyer. Yes.
He's so cool. In the words, in
the words of
John C Dvorak: PGAS, you're just
twisting there. It's called
alternate is twisted. Yeah,
Adam Curry: they're called
alternates. It's, and so I think
this fits in with Mike Johnson
saying, you know, the
Constitution was violated.
Trump's and alternate slate, and
they have now been indicted or
civilly sued have been okay. And
so no one's in jail. No one's
been. No one's been been
convicted of anything of any
wrongdoing. Certainly not to
being an alternate slate. I
don't know that the world is
ultimately coming.
John C Dvorak: I think
something's up. Yes. It is just
too much discussion.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Nancy Pelosi
is is not sounding confident.
And Mike Johnson sounds overly
confident.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, he's cocky.
Yes,
Adam Curry: he is. Yes, he is.
John C Dvorak: Well, you know,
we've seen this kind of TV show
reminds me of what's the guy
that's doing that one committee
who keeps coming on things and
he's so overconfidence.
ludicrous. He hasn't done
anything really one. What's one
guy's name? He's kind of got the
round kind of a cube head cube.
Mini cube head.
Adam Curry: What topic does he
John C Dvorak: do? He's running
one of the investigative
committees of the house. House
investigation of something of
Biden. the Biden family.
Adam Curry: Yeah, the comer
comer.
John C Dvorak: Comer. Yeah, I
got. Yeah. Good. Cube ahead,
Adam Curry: cube. Comer. Boy,
we're not shallow.
John C Dvorak: No, we're not.
Adam Curry: We're not
superficial. Well, speaking of
appearances. Let's go to Nimrod.
Unknown: Haley's campaign
recently sidetracked with a
voter asked about the cause of
the Civil War, and she did not
mention slavery and answer it.
She later clarified. What do you
say to people who say that
you really had challenges when
it
comes to talking about race. We
were the only Indian family in
our small southern town. I was
teased every day for being
brown. So anyone that wants to
question it can go back and look
at what I've said on how hard it
was to grow up in the deep south
as a brown girl. The civil wars
always been known about slavery.
I misread it and thought he was
looking for a bigger answer
going forward. You
Adam Curry: got duped Nimrod
duped Brown Girl in the ring.
Viva la noche you got duped? She
got duped over done. She was in
money by
John C Dvorak: silica some
Silicon Valley boys I know
personally. Yeah, that are
largely responsible for this.
Adam Curry: What do you mean?
John C Dvorak: They talk about
her she is the element she is
the pushed forward by the
billionaire class across the
country and Silicon Valley is
part of it. Oh, I see what you
mean. They don't get invited to
some events. Like as if
Adam Curry: I got invited to a
to a event with with Nimrod as
well here in Texas.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, what's
Texas is is ranch at the ranch.
Adam Curry: went over to the
ranch and one of the billionaire
oil guys. Sure. I should have
gone just to just decipher Well
if at all out and it'd be a
little weird. I wouldn't feel
comfortable Yeah, sure. Send
Tina. Go sniff out Haley. See
what's going on with her. is no
good.
John C Dvorak: Just kept was
this little topical change of
pace hear
Adam Curry: you about Lloyd
Austin? Yes. No one No one did.
Well, they
John C Dvorak: still don't.
Here's Lloyd Austin is down
clip. Okay, here we go.
Unknown: Defense Secretary Lloyd
Austin has been in Walter Reed
Medical Center since Monday but
the Pentagon didn't disclose it
until last night. And there are
reports that he spent four days
in the intensive care unit.
Austin spokesman Major General
Pat writer said he was admitted
for complications from an
unspecified minor medical
procedure. Today writer said
Austin resumed his full duties
last night while still in the
hospital, but couldn't say when
Austin would be released. It
this doesn't
Adam Curry: seem like a big
deal, but it is a big deal.
Deal. evacs fully boosted but
this guy calls shots and speak
enough but he calls the shots on
he doesn't have to talk to the
President about all the things
that he's doing in the two wars
that were involved in. And even
when he went in the deputy
Terry, the deputy head the
deputy secretary, if you write
that down to
John C Dvorak: the nature of our
show people,
Adam Curry: that's how we do it.
The Deputy Secretary of Defense
she was on leave. So he should
never have it's like, you know,
if the President is going to
have anesthesia, then
temporarily the Vice President
has has the has the helm.
There's a whole process for
that. And the same for the for
the for the defense secretary.
This was a this was a gaffe the
something was very wrong with
this. He may be dead already. Is
what some people think. Others
think he's been incarcerated. I
love that. I love that one.
That's Q anon he's been
incarcerated. I love I love the
car.
John C Dvorak: I heard that the
minor operation was he had his
balls removed.
Adam Curry: Thanks, Marty. I
have have a couple more more
details on this.
Unknown: There are questions
tonight on why top levels of the
federal government were not
immediately told US Defense
Secretary Lloyd Austin was
hospitalized following
complications from an elective
procedure. The 70 year old has
been at Walter Reed Medical
Center since January 1, A source
tells the Wall Street Journal
often needed to be admitted to
the intensive care unit. Among
those who did not know until
three days later, the President
and the national security
adviser Jake Sullivan, Well,
tonight Austin released a
statement saying he could have
done a better job informing
people and he takes full
responsibility. President Biden
says he has full confidence in
the defense secretary.
Adam Curry: So this is
interesting. So in this report,
they say Floyd Austin said Ah, I
didn't do that. Right. It means
so is he in the intensive care
or not? Listen again.
Unknown: Well, tonight Austin
released a statement saying he
could have done a better job
informing people.
Adam Curry: So Is he awake? Is
he okay? Can he come to the
balcony and wave if Austin
released a statement or was it
the Pentagon tonight
Unknown: a US official confirms
to NBC News that the Pentagon
did not inform senior officials
in the White House's National
Security Council for three days
that defense secretary Lloyd
Austin had been hospitalized at
Walter Reed Medical Center on
New Year's Day. Walter
Adam Curry: Reed I mean, I'm
telling you, the incarcerated
bit is good. The news not
Unknown: shared with the
American public until Friday,
when the Pentagon announced that
Austin was hospitalized for
complications following a recent
elective medical procedure. And
NBC News has learned the 70 year
old Austin not just
hospitalized, but also in the
intensive care unit for at least
four days. According to two
senior administration officials
asked why his day wasn't
disclosed sooner. A Pentagon
spokesperson tells NBC News This
has been an evolving situation
in which we had to consider a
number of factors. Oh, adding
Secretary Austin is recovering
well and he resumed his full
duties at the Pentagon declining
to explain
Adam Curry: this is different
now they're saying he's back on
the beat. But why isn't he out
on the balcony waving hers.
Unknown: Adding Secretary Austin
is recovering well, and he
resumed his full duties at the
Pentagon declining to explain
what Austin's procedure was and
what complications occurred. The
lack of information strongly
criticized
presidents have issues that
other cabinet members have
issues the public is notified
and there's no real
justification is not acceptable.
America's commitment to Israel
is unwavering. The secretary in
Israel as recently as mid
December, as its war with Hamas
resist Tension in the middle
east. On Thursday, the US
carried out a strike that killed
an Iran backed militia member in
Iraq while Austin was
hospitalized. And
Ally is in Delaware tonight
traveling with the president, a
US official ally, just moments
ago tells me the President Biden
was not informed about Austin's
hospitalization for three days,
either. And you're hearing from
the Secretary himself tonight in
his statement, what's he saying?
That's right, Peter, the
Defense Secretary taking full
responsibility for what he says
were his decisions about
disclosure, saying in part
quote, I recognized I could have
done a better job ensuring the
public was appropriately
informed. I commit to doing
better.
Adam Curry: So this stinks. It
does sounds very Oh, yeah. You
need we need him waving me who's
running the war machine? Maybe
the war machine just like hey,
man, well, I
John C Dvorak: think the war
machine can you file How about
this? How
Adam Curry: about the military
industrial complex, like, went
to the hospital of Meo put a
little machete a little knife to
the throat and said, Hey, man,
you're not doing it. Right. We
need more orders. We just needed
to sell some gear.
John C Dvorak: Maybe that's why
he didn't tell anyone because he
didn't want that debt situation
to occur. That's when he was
afraid. Oh, oh,
Adam Curry: that's even better.
Huh? Huh?
John C Dvorak: Don't have them
show any weakness. So tell Biden
whenever you do not rush, that's
the way I would go. Don't tell
Biden whatever you do. You might
poop his pants. Oh, I'm out now.
I'm fine. Don't I'm sorry. She's
We didn't tell Biden us ashamed.
All
Adam Curry: good. It's all good.
Okay, since since that clip
brought up Israel. I think we
have. Yes. This was an
interesting development. The
Israeli Defense Minister went on
a PR Blitz, and what you're not
seeing in this is all beauty
shots of him looking really this
that guy? He does look kind of
badass. He's gotta look. Yeah,
got that looked at the he's got
the shades on with a helmet.
We're at least I know. He's got
he's got Prime Minister written.
Exactly. That's what this.
That's what this clip is about?
Because he outlines a new phase
of the Gaza war to the press
before he presents it to the
cabinet.
Unknown: Yeah, well, yesterday
evening, Israel's defense
minister, you have got on so
unveils his plans for the
postwar running of Gaza first to
the press. Then he submitted it
to Israel's war cabinet. Now
under his plans, the war would
continue until all hostages have
been released. And until Hamas
has been completely eradicated,
the plan then sets out how,
after the end of the war
Palestinian organization, so
that would take over the running
of the Gaza Strip. It does not,
however, specify which
organizations those would be It
does, however, say that under no
circumstances would that be
Hamas. It also says that there
will be no Israeli civilian
presence in the Gaza Strip after
the war. It does, however, say
that the Israeli military would
continue to be able to carry out
operations in the Gaza Strip if
necessary, to maintain security.
And now I think also worth
pointing out that at this stage,
this is not official Israeli
government policy. It is just a
proposal that's been put forward
by the defense minister that
would have to be approved by the
war cabinet for it to become
policy. Yeah. And another big
question mark that the planet
doesn't appear to tackle is
whether or not Palestinian
civilians who fled northern
parts of the Gaza Strip to flee
the fighting and whether or not
they would be able to return to
their homes, bearing in mind
that much of the Northern Gaza
strip has been completely
flattened by months of intense
fighting and bombardment. I
Adam Curry: mean, just imagine
Lloyd Austin starts laying out
policy to the press about what
we're going to do in a war any
war before the President that
Netanyahu is on loose and hear
something something's going on.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I agree.
$100, completely,
Adam Curry: including this,
which we discussed one or two
shows ago, after
Unknown: more than 12 weeks of
war in Gaza. A fundamental
question remains what is to
become of the strip and its
people. Now Israeli media
reports allege a government of
Benjamin Netanyahu has held
secret talks with the Democratic
Republic of Congo for a quote,
voluntary resettlement plan. The
Times of Israel, which published
the report says a senior Israeli
official has denied that any
such discussions have taken
place, but Israeli cabinet
members have repeatedly raised
the idea
A quick, like call on the Prime
Minister and the new foreign
minister. This is an opportunity
for planning and immigration
project and to encourage the
migration of residents from Gaza
to countries of the world.
Adam Curry: So they got all
kinds of guys out there saying
stuff without the president. His
whole cabinet is doing press
press briefings.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, yeah, this
like kind of like Federal
Reserve. When they start. Every
board member started yakking
away about US economy.
Adam Curry: Now, it's a little
worse. This is his cabinet is
just doing a you know, we got to
do this. We got to get something
going and we'll send him to the
Congo. I love this Congo idea.
By the way. Yeah, Congo was
great for batteries and all
kinds of stuff, and it's easy to
spark some crap over there.
Meanwhile, Somalia, Somalia. You
recall that Ethiopia, a new
BRICS country, said, Well, you
know what, we're going to open
up a base right under Djibouti.
That's our that's our turf
Djibouti, right there by the
where the where the Houthis are
causing trouble by the opening
of the Red Sea to the Gulf of
Aden. And they said we're just
going to open this bass in
Somaliland, which is not an
official country, but they've
organized and pretend it is and
Somalia. Well, they got a call
from Victoria Nuland. On
Unknown: Saturday, Somali
President Hassan Sheikh Mohammed
signed the law nullifying the
Memorandum of Understanding
signed between the government of
Ethiopia and Somaliland. The
symbolic move comes as Ethiopia,
the breakaway Somali Region
signed a deal on January 1. As
part of the hull economic and
political agreement, Somaliland
plans to lease a 20 kilometer
stretch of land along its
coastline to landlocked
Ethiopia. Somaliland President
Morsi B. Abdi said the deal
included her statement that
Ethiopia would soon recognize
the territory as an independent
country. That is where the bone
of contention lies. Somaliland
is a self declared Republic. It
has taken issue for years with
the process and the legally
binding character of the State
of Union law, which was to form
a unified country after Somalia
and Somaliland respectively
gained independence from Italy
and Britain, the EU chairperson,
if you're planning to engage
without delay in negotiations to
settle their differences, I'm
Adam Curry: sorry, it's Africa
today, but you can't get any
other reporting about this
stuff. Even
John C Dvorak: Africa could they
could find it spokes, they
modeled a better
Adam Curry: job. They have
better ones. This like the
weekend team or something? Hey,
you get in here. I know it's
horrible. But
John C Dvorak: I let's just
summarize it for us. Okay.
Adam Curry: So, Somaliland
claims independence and they are
the Republic of Somaliland. They
are in the the eastern tip, just
the tip of Somalia. And they've
done a deal apparently, with
with the BRICs. And they said,
Well, you know what, we're just
going to work with Ethiopia,
recent BRICS member and we're
going to just create a base
because you know, Ethiopia is
landlocked, Ethiopia doesn't
need a doesn't need a port not
talking about ports of base, a
military base. So I'm going to
presume China or somebody else
would have a president said this
cannot this will not stand under
Djibouti. Which is right above
it is
John C Dvorak: too close. Yes.
Right next door can't have that.
No, there was a shoot down to
the drones as they take off. I
had a with a pistol. I
Adam Curry: have one more. I
think this is the clip here. I'm
not sure. There was a great nap
pop. Let me see. Is this the net
pop clip? Yes, blink and blink.
So Blinken is back in the
region. He's in the region. Cuz
he's got it. You know. She's
looking my president. is brain
dead. I've got my my defense
minister is in the hospital.
He's being bald. I gotta do the.
John C Dvorak: The boss,
Unknown: US Secretary of State
Antony Blinken says he wants to
make sure the conflict in Gaza
doesn't spread. This morning he
traveled to Jordan as part of a
week long diplomatic tour aimed
at calming tensions. Blinken
says he's particularly concerned
about exchanges of fire on
Israel's northern border with
Lebanon.
US Secretary of State Antony
Blinken week long whistlestop
tour is aimed at calming
tensions to to spike.
Adam Curry: Their love they call
it a whistle stop tour is kind
of weird. US

Israel's war with her massive
again, this is not just work a
data problem to see if there is
genuine concern the conflict is
already escalating.
We have an intense focus on
preventing this conflict from
spreading far too many
Palestinians have been killed
especially children.
Adam Curry: This is interesting
language to many pout far too
many Palestinians have been
killed. We figured it would be
1000 That would be okay. It's
not weird. Far too many, far too
many. Well, how many was okay?
Was there it was their level
that was that was agreed to like
well, you can kill a couple of
them.
Unknown: We have an intense
focus on preventing this
conflict from spreading. Far too
many Palestinians have been
killed, especially children. Far
too many remain incredibly
challenged in terms of their
Adam Curry: access to food. This
far too many is bad language for
water,
Unknown: to medicine to the
essentials of life as the wheels
of diplomacy territories,
Adam Curry: the essentials life
water, food, and then a big tank
explosion right after it's the
food
Unknown: for water, and medicine
to the essentials of life. As
the wheels of diplomacy turn in
Gaza, there's been no letup in
the past three months. Israeli
strikes claim more lives. food
and medicine are increasingly
scarce. And entire neighborhoods
are reduced to rubble. Rubble,
the UN's humanitarian chief said
Gaza has, quote, simply become
uninhabitable. But Israel says
that it is making progress. Yes,
Adam Curry: progress. But far
too many. We had agreed only
1500 dead, particularly
children. And they just went
above and beyond. Can't believe
them. No good.
John C Dvorak: Somebody's trying
to make the thing spread
somewhere. I believe it's the
Russians. Take the pressure off
the Ukraine situation. They got
to resolve that. So they had the
launch 200 missiles from
Hezbollah, supposedly these
numbers are all dubious, but
they suppose the last launch 200
missiles what what's the point?
They had to be told to do this.
They don't want to do it. And
Lebanon doesn't like the idea,
but they're doing it anyway.
Adam Curry: Now Lebanon doesn't
want any Lebanon can't use much
more problem. So then somebody's
John C Dvorak: trying to
somebody's trying to stoke
issues, I think I believe it's
the Russians because they're
trying to get people out who
would make sense. I mean, we
can't the Russians are sick of
this stupid Ukraine war and they
want to get that resolved, you
know, sick
Adam Curry: of the Ukraine war,
the Ukrainians. Oh, they left no
men to fight. And it's cold now.
It's very cold. It's no longer
the fighting season. So they're
just doing drones. And the
drones have a flaw. I mean,
these are pre programmed drones,
a lot of them so they fly a set
route and that the guys just sit
there and wait. Okay. Done. It
goes another one. Yep. Done.
Here's NPR with the talk of this
expansion up north. 10s
Unknown: of 1000s of people have
been evacuated from both sides
of the Israel Lebanon border.
Their air raid sirens blaring
across northern Israel today.
Lebanon's Hezbollah militia says
it fired dozens of rockets
across the border this morning.
And it's calling this just an
initial response to the
airstrike that killed a Hamas
leader this past week. As you
mentioned in Lebanon's capital,
Beirut, Israel says it has sent
tanks artillery and airstrikes
across the border into Lebanon
for the past few days. Israel's
defense minister yo have Golan
inspected troops yesterday at
the Northern Command and then he
recorded this video clip of me
also OMA to Abu Mahdi fame in
which he says Israel prefers a
political settlement with
Hezbollah rather than a military
one,
but that we are quote close to
the point where the hourglass
will turn
Adam Curry: Huh Well, the sad
thing is if you ask the Israelis
or the Palestinians or the
Lebanese no one wants death and
destruction. This is turf wars
Bev Pro, probably just all money
related.
John C Dvorak: So we have
another area breaking out with
issues mostly caused by us What?
Adam Curry: No, say it ain't. So
what is this about now? Serb
John C Dvorak: elections now
there's all kinds of weirdness
going on in Serbia. The Balkan
Unknown: nation of Serbia is a
flashpoint in Europe struggle
between democracy and autocratic
leaders. Russia's war in Ukraine
heightened Servius importance as
it resists Western pressure to
join sanctions on Russia. Now
the nation is being torn apart
by protests accusing the
government of authoritarian
President Alexander Vukovich,
who's a strong food now I have
widespread voter fraud in last
month's elections. Ali Rogen has
more
In Central Belgrade chants of
Bucha You are a thief. More than
two weeks after what protesters
say was a stolen election. Lou
Cheech declared a sweeping
mandate for his Serbian
Progressive Party following wins
in parliamentary and local
elections that he called ahead
of schedule, but international
observers say Bucha his ruling
party dominates Serbian media
coverage and intimidates
independent journalists giving
him an unfair advantage. On
election day, there were reports
of violence, ballot stuffing and
allegations of people getting
bused into different cities to
vote. Since the protesters have
a mass in Belgrade, demanding
the results being old, they've
paused for Orthodox Serbian
holidays but will likely resume
in mid January.
People are on the street
dissatisfied with the election,
which is obvious everyone
confirmed that there has been a
serious disruption of the
electoral process. And that is
why the elections have to be
repeated.
Opposition Coalition leader
Marika Teppich has been on a
hunger strike since the
election. She addressed the
crowds on December 30, just
before she was hospitalized.
I'm sorry that I can't say much.
The only thing I can say is that
I have already said everything
and that these elections must be
annulled.
Adam Curry: Well, why couldn't
what was what was she
hospitalized? What happened?
John C Dvorak: She's on a hunger
strike as she's about to drop
dead from lack of eating.
Adam Curry: Well, so does you
think this has to do with Serbia
as Trump should
John C Dvorak: have gone on a
hunger strike? You
Adam Curry: would still be on
it. Do you think that this has
anything to do with Serbia being
right under right next to
Hungary?
John C Dvorak: Yes, something to
do with it. They tried to
explain it. They never do a
fully a full job. The Serbian
guy who won by the way is just a
casper milquetoast character.
And he's just trying to I don't
know whether he won or not, or
how fraudulent the election was.
But it's just they run this
story, I believe on PBS to kind
of give us some parallels to
what Trump might try to do. Like
Trump, because this guy likes
Putin. And you know, because
everyone has to hate Putin, or
he's no good. And we were part
of what's going on here. This
this. These clips are
interesting as it gets on with
when they start discussing it
with our people. Here's Luke
part to teach
Adam Curry: us. Let me rewind
that. Blue teach
Unknown: has defended the
results. He and Russia say the
protests were being controlled
by the West,
me quote, some of the voting was
very political. We want to steer
our own college. If you don't
mind paying the price for all
the rubbish and lies, because we
know what the cost is, the
election process will be
concluded by the institutions of
the Republic of Serbia. For more
on the implications of these
election results, I'm joined by
Edward P. Joseph. He teaches at
Johns Hopkins School of Advanced
International Studies, and
served for a dozen years in the
Balkans, including with the US
Army, he has observed and
organized numerous elections in
the region. Edward, thank you so
much for being here. First of
all, can you tell us a little
bit about what sort of leader
Alexandre Bucha, which has been
both internally within Serbia,
and with regard to other
countries,
President Bucha, which is the
classic autocratic leader, he's
attempting to establish thorough
control of Serbia, with a veneer
of democracy. And that's what we
see in these recent elections.
This is what is known as
illiberal democracy. His
neighbor and his mentor and
patron within the EU, of course
is Prime Minister Viktor Orban
of Hungary.
Adam Curry: Okay, I told you, I
had gotten to do with that. So
John C Dvorak: this guy, this
guy that they're talking to is a
PhD from Johns Hopkins and he
Oregon that what is an American
organizing route elections in
these areas, but what is that?
Well, how about explain that to
me, okay. I
Adam Curry: will explain it to
you. I will explain it from this
article, one election system
vendor in Serbia, guess which
one?
John C Dvorak: Dominions Yes,
yes.
Adam Curry: They even have a
software development office in
Belgrade. There you go. Just a
little point, little point.
John C Dvorak: So they and then
Audubon, of course, who's still
seen as the fly in the globalist
ointment is the bad guy for some
reason. And she's not on board
with any of the bullcrap he's
not in this guy's like, I guess
one of his protegees and this is
an issue with us. Us
particularly is going to look
Unknown: three and Orban set the
model for this where there's a
The nearer of democracy where
you hold elections, but the
elections are actually
meaningless because the ruling
controls has such dominance over
the media landscape, the
opposition is weakened. The
media are hugely dominated by
the ruling party. And in the
polis activists are intimidated
and that's what we've seen. And
so
John C Dvorak: that sounds like
us,
Adam Curry: yes. Hmm.
John C Dvorak: Was the latest
there's some, I think, was a Pew
or one of these guys did or
Gallup did a research on the
media at political affiliation
and something like 95% of
everyone who's in the media
today is a Democrat. Yeah. That
sounds like a recipe for
disaster. Where's
Adam Curry: the 10%? Show me
that? It's not Fox News.
John C Dvorak: No. Well, yes.
Elections
Adam Curry: Newsmax I'm sorry
Newsmax there it is. But that's
Cuomo, kids. One
John C Dvorak: One American
news. No, that's it. One
American news. One American
news. Yeah, that's it. That one
Oh, word made up girl. Sir, Serb
elections rigged for
Unknown: and there was nothing
requiring these elections to be
held at this time. So why did he
call for these elections at this
time? Well,
that's exactly right. These are
again, early elections. And the
best explanation for them is
that President Bush which, as a
result in large part mistaken US
policy, by the by the
administration, was in a crisis
in late September, there was a
shocking confrontation in the
north of Kosovo. This is where
NATO troops, including US troops
are deployed. And the Kosovo
Police patrol have been a Serb
militia group heavily armed that
could not have entered into
Kosovo without Serbian
authorities known and of course,
that immediately cast suspicion
on President Bucha himself and
this attack which led
John C Dvorak: so we can go in
there. Fix the next door
neighbor can't go in there.
Adam Curry: How could you mean
Hungary? No,
John C Dvorak: no, they have no
Serbia. Right is the next door
neighbor to Kosovo? Oh, yes. So
they can go in we can go were
there and UN's there but who did
they can go in? Okay. I just
wanted to make sure that
everyone
Adam Curry: guys there's been
there's been problems in the
region in the past. So we should
go in, of course, we create the
problem. We were dicks.
Unknown: And of course, that
immediately cast suspicion on
President voltage himself. And
this attack which led to a
shootout in the north killing
cause a police officer and three
serves was a huge shock, because
it showed in fact that the US
policy of trying to supplicate a
placate President voltage and
somehow bring him over from
autocratic pro hungry pro Russia
orientation had failed. It was
that crisis very likely, that
President Bush wanted to put
behind him reestablish his
authority as as the sole
preeminent political figure in
Serbia and move forward. But it
turns out that that is not going
to be quite as simple as he
thought.
Adam Curry: Right? So it's it's
strategic for the region. And we
want to make it into someone who
dances to our pipes. Exactly.
John C Dvorak: Of course. orb is
enough of a pain in the ass. We
don't need this joker.
Adam Curry: Where did these guys
get the time to think about all
this? Where
John C Dvorak: do idea Where's
Hopkins is part of the problem.
Where's
Adam Curry: Victoria Nuland? Let
me see Victoria.
John C Dvorak: She's probably
been there, Victoria. Let's say
you're looking her up play the
last clip.
Unknown: So let's talk a little
bit more about US policy towards
Serbia and the different
priorities that the United
States is balancing. How have
they approached Alexandra
fruitage. What do you make of
their response to this crisis?
I would say this about US
policy, which has got again,
brought us to the this brink.
President Biden has gotten the
Balkans right. Consistently,
President Biden himself
understands the region and he
set off his administration with
the words that we are in a
challenge of democracy versus
autocracy. So President Biden
has gotten it right. But as the
administration has gotten to
completely wrong, they've
abandoned that. So we have a
disparity in the Balkans where
the United States treats Serbia
as neighbors to a much harsher,
higher standard. And I should
point out we've had two violent
confrontations in Kosovo this
year, we've had potential issues
in Montenegro, which is a NATO
ally. And now within the
government, there are pro
Russian elements within that
NATO ally, and we have a brewing
crisis, possibly even beginning
this month in Bosnia
Herzegovina. This is the mistake
of the Biden administration has
been to treat President voltage
to this different softer
standard On the belief that
somehow we can bring him over
instead, what it has done is it
has projected fear the US
basically projecting fear of
Belgrade, which President voted
correctly interprets as weakness
and takes advantage. And this
all goes, of course, to the
benefit of his ally, which is
Russia.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Well, we had
clips of problems brewing in
Serbia, I think. Didn't they?
Wasn't there something like
something with their money? If I
recall, well, what is this? Let
John C Dvorak: me see. I don't
remember the money thing, but I
do know that. This situation is
I find it interesting that he
says that Biden's got it right.
But the administration has got
it wrong. Which says to me
again, like everyone else says
Biden's not running anything
though. No.
Adam Curry: This is well, the
coverage was good, but we don't
understand it. There's
John C Dvorak: no There's no we
have no we must Well, no, but at
least we're but familiarising
are
Adam Curry: there Serbs in the
audience come on Serbs talk to
us Serbs.
John C Dvorak: This serves hate
our show.
Adam Curry: How about this? Even
though we break up the show a
little bit differently. Very
short donation segment today.
It has no resources. No entry.
That's right. Second half a show
is back. Finally. That's right,
everybody. Second half a show
what's going on out there in the
universe. And
Unknown: now to our number one
trending story on CBS miami.com
It involves talk of alien
sightings at Bayside marketplace
on New Year's day there was a
massive police response in
downtown Miami. More than 50
Young people armed with sticks
began fighting. We say juveniles
were also setting off fireworks
causing chaos.
So now people are posting online
saying that police weren't there
to handle a group of rowdy teens
but rather eight to 10 feet
tall, shadowy aliens conspiracy
theories are saying a big
creature could be seen standing
in front of the entrance to the
shopping area Bayside today, the
phrases Miami mall and aliens of
Miami have been among the top 10
searches on Twitter's trending
tab. Twitter of course now
called x. And Google News even
has several reports questioning
the events. So
we reached out to the Miami
Police Department they issued a
statement saying in part quote,
there were no aliens UFOs or
ETS. No airports were closed, no
power outages. facepalm emoji
was included in the statement.
Yeah,
Adam Curry: obviously a cover
up, cover up by the Miami
obvious cover up by the Miami
Police. Because there's no way
you would have this. I mean,
there were hundreds of police
vehicles that at least for
helicopters hovering overhead.
It was obvious. This was not
just some kids fighting at the
mall. These were eight to 10
feet, aliens with fire sticks.
And we have eyewitness reports
all over tick tock. Hey, by the
way, whatever happened to
getting rid of tick tock? Where
did that go? What Why did that
stop? I thought tick tock was
dangerous to democracy. Serious
question Trump would
John C Dvorak: have gotten rid
of it but no, no, that's just
benefiting the Democrat party.
Oh,
Adam Curry: so the lobby is
worked out that I guess. Yeah,
there's
John C Dvorak: a cash some cash
changed hands perhaps. Well,
Adam Curry: we need to be
talking to people about this
because it was everyone was all
in we had hearings. Tick tock is
bad. China's killing our
children, Scott Adams. He's
convinced tick tock is going to
ruin America. But yet it's still
here. And this is where we find
eyewitnesses to this event. So
it says
Unknown: nobody's going to talk
about it. I figured you know
Adam Curry: there are some
expletives in this that I didn't
have time to cut out
Unknown: I was I was down in
Miami for the New Year's use and
me and my girl I got a little
timeshare we was down there on
like a mini vacay you know just
Adam Curry: I love this guy by
the way. need my girl we had a
timeshare down in Miami little
vacay or two
Unknown: years old right so
anyway, we happen to be at that
mall so um we are footlocker
whatever next thing you know you
start hearing all this commotion
outside sound like fire like
firecrackers or something? So,
you know, I'm saying I you know,
I grab a close I'm like, yo, we
bout to get about here because,
you know, I originally thought
that they were shooting in
Santo, you know, some type of
fight that broke out or whatever
the case is, because you know,
we're not familiar with Miami.
We're not familiar with the
city. So I'm like, damn, I
haven't got my blog. So you I
Adam Curry: got my black I guess
that's a Glock blakedown We
bought
Unknown: above a swerve sight
crazy like we just see all these
people running like you know,
fat fat fat chicks you know old
ladies like while I'm talking
about moving insane like yo
people even more I'm talking
about moving so you know my
garage like what's going on like
fuck all that we out like I'm
not gonna ask no questions we
just gonna follow the crowd.
Next thing you know, you know
real like gunshots start going
off so you know I'm saying like
we try to we try to follow that
follow the crowd get out of
there I look back on the back no
capital no cat I look back it
looked like like like a big ass
shadow. But it was solid at the
same time like a few like a few
shadows, but they were solid at
the same time. And it almost
looked like they was coming our
direction like they was chasing
us, but they was disappearing
and reappearing closer. So I'm
like yo, what so we started
really moving and next thing you
know, we start hearing more
gunshots like these dudes start
firing that this shit get
outside map police all that, you
know, I'm saying they started to
police this like trying to get
all the people that ran out the
mall. They like trying to like
detain these people, whatever.
But you know, me and my girl we
ended up just, you know, sliding
past all that and everything
like that. But you know a lot of
people saying Why didn't nobody
film and all that when that type
of shit is going on? Him saying
shit like that? Like some
paranormal? Nobody thinking
about no phone?
Adam Curry: No, no, there's a
bunch of Jhansi DeVore acts with
no phone at all. So they didn't
get any no video.
John C Dvorak: Ah, well, they
see this is the problem. I don't
care what monster you're gonna
see coming in and out of
dimensionality. As he describes
it, someone's gonna be pulling
out their phone.
Adam Curry: Well, we didn't get
any pictures of any teenagers
shooting either. So this is very
John C Dvorak: successful. And
that's the point there.
Adam Curry: Well, here's here's
what's going on. This is just
the beginning.
John C Dvorak: Wait, let me
think. Wait, let me stop you.
Okay, that's a movie coming out.
That has something to do with
something about this thing. That
would be great movies bowl of
crap. If I
Adam Curry: if I could roll out
a movie trailer that would be
the best right now? No, this is
project BlueBee. This is this is
where we start to and of course
you're going to use tick tock as
you said it benefits the elites
the Democrat Party. And that's
why tick tock has not gone yet.
Now this is where we start to
break the Joe Rogan will be all
over this. This is where I start
to bring in the aliens people
have seen it that clearly. I
witness and eventually these
aliens will start talking to us
and and then we can get rid of
religion and we can all go
towards the aliens. And we can
follow the new world order that
is and you'll see more of these
craft in the air that will all
be projected Project Blue Beam
is has I call Project Blue Beam
now activated. It's activated
and it's biblical. It's been
predicted. That's been predicted
this it's it's all coming now.
This is just just the start. So
keep an eye out in blue beam
activated. Yes, I will. I will
stay on the beat. Yes,
John C Dvorak: you this is your
all yours. Thanks. Unless
there's a local phenomenon takes
place which I will use a regular
camera to film. Yes,
Adam Curry: you will. You'll go
out right away. Now there was
another interesting legal case.
By the
John C Dvorak: way, I do have a
ticket if you don't want to go
into if you're not following up.
I have a tick tock clip. Tock
tock tick tock. lunatic, there's
a lunatic. That's this
threatening everybody should get
should just be arrested
immediately. But unlike your
clip, yes. I took care of the
profanity issues.
Adam Curry: I'm glad you did. I
apologize. I'm sorry. I missed
it. I didn't have time to do it.
Unknown: So I do wish death on
transphobic people because they
wish death on me and have caused
death to many, many, many of my
brothers and sisters in the
trans community. I want to stab
all of you to death as many
times as I can. I want to stab
you in the throat and twist it
like I'm carving a pumpkin. I
want to shred you into tiny
pieces. I want to tear your
bones out from your body. I want
to scoop your brains out with a
spoon. I want to eat your flesh.
Adam Curry: I'd say decaf decaf
may be a good idea for this
person.
John C Dvorak: Minimally but I
just want to show you how it's
done by a pro. You
Adam Curry: didn't do that the
clip came that way. Yes, I did.
You did that. Yeah, that's
pretty good. The
John C Dvorak: clip was
extremely well you could tell
was very profane. This
Adam Curry: is the problem with
social media these days. I mean,
if you go on X, he's gone X for
five minutes. You're seeing
people kill each other. You see
murderers, you seeing. It's
terrible. It really is.
John C Dvorak: It's just yeah,
these doofus is like threatening
everyone. Yeah.
Adam Curry: And not that I'm
against free speech, you should
be able to I mean, that's
actually threatening. I don't
think that I think there may be
limits to what you can do there.
Now, I'm all for free, you know,
open news media, but it's not
like, it's not a healthy thing.
To be going on social media and
looking at all this stuff. It's
I agree and tick tock, as you
know, I've loaded up the app
once or twice, and I deleted it
immediately, because you stop
for one second on how this is
kind of let's see how this guy
gets killed. Oh, man, that's
horrible. And then you get five
more. And then you scroll in and
scroll down because you're
watching them you shouldn't be
watching. No, exactly. It's very
unhealthy.
John C Dvorak: I do not have an
app. I never use an app. I use
the by going to a web browser
browser. I goes on done the
browser and I type in tik
tok.com. Yes, it brings up a
brings up and I'll search for
something specifically. And
maybe I'll find it or I won't.
Adam Curry: Now do you look for
crazy transgender people was
that your search
John C Dvorak: people send those
to me this was sent to me by one
of our producers. So this guy,
Adam Curry: this is a this is
something that I saw this
morning. It was on MSNBC the
Katie Fang show never seen her
show before. I was a miracle
because I was watching it live
on the on YouTube TV while
taking a shower or you know,
shaving, electrocute
John C Dvorak: yourself.
Adam Curry: And, like, Ah, I
wish I had this clip of this guy
and of the situation. And lo and
behold that MSNBC had the whole
show up on YouTube so I was able
to get these two clips. And we
know what's going on here but I
just wanted to accentuate the
point of what's happening. In
this particular case
Unknown: in May of 2022. Rapper
Young Thug whose given name is
Jeffrey Lamar Williams and 27
other defendants were charged in
a sweeping 65 count indictment,
accusing the suspects of being
part of a criminal street gang
named why SL or young slime
life. Rico indictment alleges
Young Thug and otherwise all
members committed crimes like
murder, armed robbery,
aggravated assault with a deadly
weapon fest drug dealing,
carjacking and witness
intimidation. Young dog is
charged with eight out of the 65
total counts. Since this arrest
Young Thug has been in the Cobb
County Jail for nearly two years
awaiting trial. And in November,
prosecutors secured a win win
the presiding judge agreed to
allow them to use relevant rap
lyrics in the trial as evidence
but the use of these lyrics
raises the question of whether
that's constitutional in the
first place. After all Johnny
Cash and get arrested for
singing. I shot a man in Reno
just to watch him die.
Adam Curry: Next idiot so what
you're what was not in this
report at all and what you won't
hear but I want to circle back
to it is this is about drill
rap. And this is something I
learned from all we talked about
it extensively when that whole
gang got arrested in New York.
Drill rap is very popular. This
is where gangs are are indeed
killing each other and then make
a hip hop songs about it. The
sick part of this is the music
industry uses this this drill
rap. Once you know once
something starts hitting the
algos in YouTube, then it hits
the algos in Spotify, then they
sign these drill rappers to a
sub label of a major label and
they're making money off of it.
We've talked about I don't know
if you remember, they are
literally making money off of
black men killing each other.
And glorifying it. It's it
started in the UK. And it's both
it though Yeah, it's huge over
in the UK is big in America. And
it's what's disgusting about it
is that this is the music
industry. They are they are
promoting this they are
propagating this they do not
care. And so of course they
bring in the hugest music
industry douche bag lawyer to
defend it.
Unknown: Joining me now is Scott
Grubin criminal defense attorney
in Georgia who previously
represented Kenneth Chesbro. In
the Fulton County Election
interference Rico case. So let's
focus a little bit on some of
these lyrics. They include,
quote, without a lot of
followers, a perfect leader, a
boss, I call the shots another
one for slimes, you know, I'll
kill another one. And I never
killed anybody but I got
something to do with that body.
Adam Curry: No Wait until you
hear this guy's defense. Scott,
what
Unknown: happened to the First
Amendment? In this case?
I think the problem here is that
rappers are not given the same
artistic license, as other
artists are in music and other
industries. I always give the
example you just gave an example
about Johnny Cash. I'd like to
give an example about the actor
Joe Pesci. Alright, think for a
minute Joe Pesci is prosecuted
for some sort of violent crime.
With the prosecutor tried to
admit evidence of some of his
scenes in his movies like
Goodfellas, like casino, where
he's engaging in violent acts
where he's threatening violent
acts? Of course they wouldn't.
And if they did, the judge
wouldn't let it in. Why? Because
everybody knows that Job has she
is playing a part. He's playing
whatever, whatever character
he's playing on that movie.
Well, guess what? So Williams,
this man is not named Young
Thug. This man is named Jeffrey
Williams. And he's playing a
character too. So when he says
those things on the big slime, I
have something to do with that
body. How is that any different
than Joe Pesci saying, hey,
looking at me I'm gonna kill you
on Goodfellas it's really not
and for some reason and I think
there might be arguments as to
what some of those reasons are.
Racism rap artists are not given
the artistic license and freedom
that these other artists are
Adam Curry: they should arrest
all these these record
executives abreast the labels
arrest the Spotify executives
arrest YouTube people
responsible for promoting this
this is this is really
atrocious. It's so just sick.
And this and this is how these
guys did racist.
John C Dvorak: Fascinating
clips. I thank you. Thank you.
Because the argument is logical,
I think is totally logical, but
the background indicates
otherwise. In other words, if
you don't know about the what's
going on, at the bait base, it's
not baseless, but a base level
you know what's going on? You
can't the argument is specious.
Yes but the fact that you throw
the specious argument out there
because it makes nothing but
sense it because logical makes
this interesting. Thank you. I
know there's like I think
everybody out there would at
least find some level of
interest in that. racy thing you
just brought in. Yes,
Adam Curry: I would hope so.
John C Dvorak: Well never
discuss it again. I
Adam Curry: hope well, you never
know. There is one more tick
tock related clip I just had
this for the last show
that's right everybody's vape
wars now even even discussed on
D H unplugged how big tobacco
companies bought up vape
companies was it for like, what
did they buy that vape company
for like $20 billion in this
outrageous amount of money and
they wrote it off for 400
million like okay, that was that
we failed and and if you look at
the statistics, cigarette
smoking as backup, it's on the
rise, but we still have these
idiot kids vaping which in my
from my research is healthier
than smoking. There may be other
issues but I'm a vapor and and I
like it I enjoyed I stopped
smoking tobacco and other other
plants product, other plant
products, which I feel are
perfectly fine for people to
smoke, but it wasn't for me
anymore. But vaping Oh, no, no,
we're taking money right out of
the Big Tobacco is pockets which
directly affects the master
states agreement, which is the
money that that states receive
as compensation for all the
people who are dying from
cancer. This was the business
the agreement this is what the
big tobacco agreement was all
about. And so we have taxes and
those taxes. No good states can
take these taxes because you
know, we have to pay for people
who are dying of of smoking
cigarettes and we can't have
that go away. And it seemed like
the kids were stopping to smoke.
And then we had to stop that
especially menthol because you
know, black people smoking
that's why we can have people
vaping menthol so let's get
these kids off the vape
Unknown: a new trend on tick
tock, I just want to tell you
one more reason you should stop
vaping and encouraging people to
stop vaping but this time, it's
not about their health. It's
aimed at helping workers in the
Democratic Republic of Congo's
artisanal cobalt mines, smaller
scale operations, where the work
is often done by hand. These
mines have danger As conditions
and even child labor, according
to humanitarian groups like
Amnesty International,
I'm quitting vaping The reason
it's still happening is because
of how much we consume. Creator
Christina and darchei Heard
about what happens in these
minds, and says she was so
outraged. Like she had to do
something. And he just kept
saying, don't buy new
electronics. And I'm like,
already do that, you know, what
else can
I do? And then I found just a
quick vaping.
Cobalt is a key element used to
make lithium ion batteries,
which much of our technology
depends on things like
smartphones, electric vehicles,
and most e cigarettes, I would
buy a vape. Pretty much like
once or twice a week, two thirds
of the world's cobalt supply
comes from the Democratic
Republic of the Congo, in
Central Africa. But most of that
is then sent to China where it's
refined before it's sold to
battery manufacturers, and then
brand name companies buy those
batteries.
Adam Curry: I'm telling you,
tick tock is a valuable property
on
John C Dvorak: a second. First
of all, artisanal mines. I love
that small batch, baby, small
batch. And so we got that in
play. And the other thing is one
vape device. It probably one
Tesla probably accounts for all
devices ever manufactured. In
terms of battery use, so we
Adam Curry: got a sigh up the
children into not vaping get
back on the stick and back on
the tobacco stick children. This
tic toc is a valuable property
and it pains me to say it but we
have to pay more attention to
it.
John C Dvorak: Hey, you're
talking you're talking to you're
preaching to the choir here.
This is what I've been doing.
Adam Curry: For years it's
always kind of the same it's
always some nut job with with
eyeshadows like come on man. We
have to look at other things
tick tock is doing well. And
with that, I'd like to thank you
for your currency in the morning
to you the man who put the seat
in the cube head ladies
gentlemen say hello to my friend
on the other end one only Mr.
Johnson
John C Dvorak: Well, in the
morning to you Mr. Adam curry
also in the Moreno efficiency,
underground subs in the water.
The water and all the days and
nights out there in
Adam Curry: the morning to the
trolls in the troll room who've
been quite active today. I see
you.
Oh, okay. 2153 That seems
better. Yeah, we're
John C Dvorak: 300 low. Yeah,
but
Adam Curry: but better than 1900
or whatever we had. Oh, no. 1775
No, it was bad. That was really
bad. No, it was bad, bad bad.
The trolls hang out in the troll
room at troll room.io You can go
there yourself, troll around, do
whatever you want. Hope you feel
good about it. You should. It's
fun. It's femoral. So you know,
it's like, comes in and goes and
no one's gonna make any trouble
for you at all. You can also get
a modern podcast app, save
yourself some trouble. The
update within 90 seconds of the
no agenda show updating. And
there's probably it's probably
about 400,000 podcasts that
update within 90 seconds on the
modern podcast apps. You get all
kinds of you know, you get
transcripts which you can search
you get album art, you get
chapter art, you get all kinds
of fun stuff by going to podcast
apps.com. And move away from the
from the big boys. Move away
from the legacy app screw those
guys. Get on with the
independent developers. Those
small dudes small batch
artisanal, the artisanal apps of
podcasting. 2.0. You go Yeah.
What you could also do, of
course, is the especially for,
for for artwork. You could go to
Noah genart generator.com, if
you wanted to. And over there,
you could refresh and see the
stuff updating in real time
because we're a value for value
podcast, which means no
corporate weird, creepy money,
no advertising. All we do is put
everything out there all of this
media deconstruction. All you
know, I think today, we're
probably about 769 or 72 clips,
depending on how much we play
after the break. Those are
thought goes into this work goes
into this. We put it all out
there. We we weave it together
in the womb have no agenda, and
we present it to you free of
charge. The value is right
there. If you find anything
valuable about what you've
heard, consider sending that
back to us in time, talent or
treasure. We'll get to the
treasure but when it comes to
time and talent, our artists are
top notch. And I believe Sir
Paul couture has done some extra
work for us and has upgraded
some servers and he actually
posted posted something this
morning. Yeah, happy now.
Unknown: Yeah, happy now. Yeah,
complainers happy now.
Adam Curry: So we want to thank
the art So who brought us the
artwork for episode 1622? We
titled that juice Joe, which of
course is right. He was juiced
up and Darren O'Neal brought us
the artwork that we used
John C Dvorak: when he lamented
it. What do you mean? They know
agenda social
Adam Curry: he lamented it.
John C Dvorak: What do you mean?
He says? Uh huh. They picked my
crappy piece of art. Go figure
some laborers in that those kind
of words.
Adam Curry: We'll strike it from
the record. If that's how he
didn't
John C Dvorak: think much of it
himself. This sounds like so we
liked it. It was the media
decoding, right. Wherever, why?
Why did we like it? Because
there was nothing else. It was a
fallback piece of crap. And most
of us is going to be on Darren
side on this
Adam Curry: most because people
are posting AR AI stuff. But no,
John C Dvorak: they're all
posting AI stuff. And then a
bunch of people are doing Disney
stuff because of the release.
Adam Curry: Oh, we already said
no, we're not going to do said
no
John C Dvorak: to that. Don't
we're not going to pick it
because we don't want Disney
going after us. Disney is
Adam Curry: already making
trouble about people. D
monetizing D platforming YouTube
videos. You know this is someone
created an AI Art Generator.
That's all that's all about
Steamboat Willie. Oh, I'd
John C Dvorak: love to see that.
Adam Curry: Now, so every
everybody's a prompt a prompt
engineer now.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's what
it is. Prompt engineering.
Adam Curry: The stuff that was
real was correct. A record that
wasn't great. It was via was an
old What was it like? Look like
a 286 computer with the best
podcast on the net? Understand
this kid, you know, a lot of
people did Hawking's art, which,
believe me, was not great than
we had. I mean, it's just it's
aI stuff. It's not. This is this
is my problem. I mean, there's
lots of stuff being created, but
this has no soul. It's no soul.
That's what it is soulless its
soul is baseless, soulless art.
Yeah, it's right. It's not good.
Um, it
John C Dvorak: hasn't got any
oomph. Ah, yes, it's, um,
flawless, Toothless and
soulless. And mostly not funny.
Adam Curry: That's the worst
part. And I think what happens
is because it's slick,
John C Dvorak: that they're
really slick. But not all of it,
though. Now, some of this crappy
slide. But
Adam Curry: the real artists
like, Oh, they're probably
choose this. This is so slick. I
could never do this. Well, you
could. You could? Well,
John C Dvorak: you know, usually
these these are generators. And
you do one or AI art. And you do
them and you get a bunch of
sometimes you get select
selections. You get maybe a few
to look at. And you look at him.
You go Wow. That's pretty
impressive. Yeah. And that's
exactly what you said. I don't
think I could do this piece. So
I'm gonna submit it. Exactly.
Adam Curry: Yeah. And but its
own flawless and solace. Pretty
John C Dvorak: much. It's kind
of just junk spot. Junk spot
art. Yeah.
Adam Curry: And it makes me sad,
because we've had, you know,
probably 27,000 submissions up
until the AI revolution. And it
just sucks. I mean, people get
mad at me. We curry be. Oh, by
the way, we should probably we
forgot to do a mia culpa about
the Panama Canal. Oh, yeah. Do
it because you said it. Ah,
John C Dvorak: well, the Panama
Canal is largely filled and
released water from this big
giant lake, which I forgot
about, which is where the canal
kind of goes next to this this
lake fills in is that lake is
down because of the drought in
Panama. And so that's causing
issues with the canal, the way
it's engineered. So it's not
just ocean water going through
there. So I don't see why you
can't just bring more ocean
water in.
Adam Curry: But what's
interesting is I love I'd say
60% of people said, oh, no,
you're wrong. You know, I live
there, or I looked it up, you
know, it's like, oh, no, it's
it's actually it's a series of
tubes. And it's freshwater. But
there's people who say, I can't
believe
John C Dvorak: that same guy
didn't even don't even know why
he listens to the show.
Adam Curry: I only took five
seconds to research this. And
they send it to me.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's the
by the way, that's the best
part.
Adam Curry: And so I reply and
say I'm not John's intern and I
copy you did that
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I saw that
you always see see me so you
make sure that I'm I'm aware of
your IRA.
Adam Curry: Because it I mean,
people were just dudes. I mean,
yes, we are the creative world.
Our Consulting Group yes, we're
pretty good immediate
deconstruction of doing it for
long while we're fallible.
John C Dvorak: But then no, we
make a mistake a month, at least
more
Adam Curry: than that. But then
the the Snark of it, I'm sorry,
your own podcast. By the way,
speaking of value got
John C Dvorak: to be harder to
lux.
Adam Curry: Creative Work
consulting group time, we got a
note from LC and Tali trying to
read this in the morning. This
is LC and Talia ages 16 and 12.
Hey, John. This is a girl's
probably one of our youngest
producers. We love the show
them. We love the show. And it
has entertained us on multiple
road trips. So we thought we
would contribute in the form of
jingles. Our mom is going to
send in some money to deduce our
dad but hasn't gotten to it yet.
Come on, Mom, what are you
waiting for? So that we will be
the first in our family to
contribute. We enjoy messing
around with audio and stuff. So
we hope you like these jingles.
Also, would you give us some
advice? We'd love to hear it. So
I'll just play they sent to I'll
play one and then we should give
them a little critique. Here
this fractures got
Unknown: people to be you know,
SP also stands for what? Free
speech
Adam Curry: so I it's a good
good start.
John C Dvorak: It's a start,
they need to drop their music
back. Couldn't couldn't hear the
word. I couldn't hear your
voices. You know what? Hello. So
yeah, that should be very low. I
mean, you know, there's no
reason to have a booming bed on
top of everything. That's it's
annoying. Yes. So but if it was
in the background, very low way
you guys are singing in the
foreground with a little less
echo. I might add.
Adam Curry: Yes. That was also a
problem. Echo was a little bit
too much. Yes.
John C Dvorak: So you can, but
you know, you could probably run
it through one of those filters
and take the echo completely out
if you wanted to. But yeah, they
got the right idea.
Adam Curry: You got the right
idea, kids. We're glad. We're
glad. Yes. I mean, how rare is
it though, that you get young
people at that age who are doing
audio production? That none zero
never happened? That's what
that's why I thought it was
worth playing. I like that. So
good start. Good start. So
that's your time. That's your
talent. And now it's time for
the treasurer in our value for
value model. So we're going to
start with our executive
producers and Associate
Executive Producers short list
today, I
John C Dvorak: would say this, I
would say to be a performative
here, I would say I will say you
will say yes, we have a million
listeners and we have 30,000
people that subscribe
religiously to the newsletter,
and we had a total of 28
donations over 50 bucks. This
really is pathetic.
Adam Curry: We are very
appreciative though. Why don't
you take the first one since
there's no note and then I could
do the one that's very long.
John C Dvorak: Which is probably
what I was gonna suggest. I have
no idea where there's no note.
But we have a $2,000 donation I
say after I just complaint we
have sounds like it sounds like
I'm a pig. But the fact is that
the
Adam Curry: the fact that his
Yes. In fact,
John C Dvorak: is that the you
know, there's like one guy
Adam Curry: other people are
overcompensating for the
freeloaders. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: there's like one
guy, so I mean, he's a great
guy, but I don't you know, Paul,
why, in Corpus Christi, Texas,
is the guy and he comes in with
$2,000 with no note that we
could find and I'm sure he'll
come in with a note when he
feels like anyway, we'll be glad
to read it when he does that.
dabba will give them a double up
karma until that happens, you've
Unknown: got karma
Adam Curry: All right. Then we
go to Brad Rennick Brentwood,
Tennessee 1222 which is also
quite nice, fellas. Fellas
consider me to be considered me
sir to be thirsty because yes,
this is we're in Insta instant
night level here, sir to be
thirsty, sir, to be thirsty. I
discovered you during COVID
working for a major trillion
dollar global company. Well
that's that narrows it down to
two which is Apple and Amazon.
What a weird time and there was
a ton of pressure my company
that's based in California
stateside apple. They forced her
hands during that period and to
this day I feel disgusted with
myself for taking the shot. I
waited a year and finally cave
to do it to keep my job one of
my biggest life regrets because
I never cave just now. What I
do, I went out of my way to find
the one place in town that
served the j&j And did that one.
Probably Okay, actually, no. But
I don't know, no issues, but I
don't know. But
John C Dvorak: you know, the j&j
would it get j&j The cause like
immediate blood clot death or
not? Or you're nothing you're
good to go.
Adam Curry: My wife is a
pediatrician and for at least a
solid 18 months, I fought our
tooth and nail on what she's
doing and what is reality? Oh,
does this end in divorce the
story? First half of that was me
catching up to what's really
going on when you guys showed up
in my life. We took a lot of
walks after that argument so
much because she was certain
that she was being told that
what she's being told
prescribed, and recommended is
accurate. I mean, we fought
hard. I'm a sales guy. She's a
doctor who wins that.
John C Dvorak: sales guy should
win. Yeah, anyways,
Adam Curry: while she hates a
lot of your machinations with
the noises and you're obnoxious,
and you're obnoxious. Chief
finds me obnoxious to over time,
though she's completely flipped
to slip. You guys are an
integral part of that. And she
as she's, she is representative
of what Adam has mentioned many
times before. They all go by
recommendations. There's no
debate on this. Nobody actually
questions anything. It is pretty
crazy. Once you dig into all
like this. I agree with Adam.
Excuse me. Suit
John C Dvorak: gate. Duncan.
Adam Curry: I agree with Adam.
You can't force the apology and
rub it in their faces. At least
not in this case. Yeah, that's
right. You must forgive doesn't
mean you have to reconcile. But
just forgive because you're the
one that is you're eating
yourself up over that let it go.
But she's not even recommending
the shot for kids now, whereas
this is still a thing everywhere
else in my town of Vash.
Nashville is wild. They won't
give the shot. Lucky they never
did. I made sure she never
provided that. Okay, now I have
to scroll a little bit because
John C Dvorak: notes too long.
Yes, it is. But it's a good
note. We
Adam Curry: went to dinner
tonight. And as we rolled down
the highway, I said, Can we put
on no agenda? She said sure.
That's big. Thanks, guys. Kind
of a quick note there Well,
thank you brother and and you
will indeed be knighted today.
And I'm glad that you and your
wife were on good terms. We love

But last month, this bundle of

fever in the middle of the

jumped on e4 70 and I heard
something in the back
pulling over as fast as she
could she saw her baby having a
seizure something that's never
happened before. If
if he hadn't been convulsing, he
would have looked dead like
there was it was like like
lifeless. And so I grabbed the
phone, and I call 911.
In a minute and 20 seconds she
says a dispatcher was able to
ping her location and get the
nearest deputy directed as soon
as possible. Moments later, she
says a team of fire and EMTs met
them calmly helping get Charlie
to the hospital for help.
They were so sweet. So that my
gratitude came from like I've

quick response. This family will
never forget.

compared to any other
medications. Researchers looked
at 100 million patient records
backed by the National
Institutes of Health. And
according to their findings, six
months after starting the meds,
people taking the drug to lose
weight had a 73% lower risk of
first time suicidal thoughts,
and a 56% lower risk of
recurrent suicidal thoughts. For
people with type two diabetes.
The reductions were 64 and 49%,
respectively. The lower risk
were also observed three years
out from taking the medications.
And these findings come just
days after the FDA said it was
going to review reports of
suicidal thoughts among people
using semaglutide and similar
medications. This good knows
Adam Curry: you don't want to
kill yourself. This is good. 70%
John C Dvorak: I know that was
an issue. I tell you. The
problem with that stuff was your
stomach froze up and your drop
dead.
Adam Curry: Well, if you don't
die, at least you won't be
killing yourself. It was good.
It's good. Everybody's happy. I
think it's and you know what,
there's even better news. I
mean, in America, we have I
think New Zealand's the only
other country that allows direct
consumer advertising of
pharmaceutical drugs. The old
America that is correct. New
Zealand doesn't really count. I
mean, yeah. But now they're
taking it one step further. This
is this is the ultimate. This is
the future. This is how they
really want to do it.
Interesting
Unknown: news today drugmaker,
Eli
Lilly launched a new online
service sending medications
directly to consumers. The new
service called Lilly direct will
ship the company's new anti
obesity drug to patients who
have a prescription and they
will also offer some of the
company's insulin drugs for
people with diabetes and a
migraine medication. Just
Adam Curry: send it just do
direct. We don't need we don't
need a pharmaceutical industry.
We just do a little telehealth

don't need a doctor anymore.
Boy, you have to send a mail.
Yeah, they'll just they'll just
ask you a few questions fill out
the form boom, you've got a
prescription. This is what this
is great. I think they finally
got it should you'd think that
maybe it would be smart to go
check with a doctor you know,
make sure that your doctor feels
is appropriate for you. With
John C Dvorak: these guys having
the advantage of being able to
advertise in the one country in
the world it's allowed they
would bring everybody in and
share the wealth a little bit
but no, no now they decided to
take all the money themselves
they're asking for cruisin for a
bruisin here this
