40 days. What are you talking

John C Dvorak: Are you going to
fast for 40 days? I
Adam Curry: don't think so. I'm

week it ends on Friday. Anyway,
so I was very starving
John C Dvorak: yourself. Are you
just eating at night?
Adam Curry: Sleepwalking, so I'm
sleepwalking. Exactly. And so
about there was really a lot of
energy. I'm like, Oh, I'm gonna

running. And I already got one

excited.
John C Dvorak: What are you
laughing about one? Well, that's
before

the show. You know, you want
sweatshirts and hoodies. I want

I'm sorry.
John C Dvorak: You want 100
ATMs?
Adam Curry: God, that'd be nice.
John C Dvorak: All I want is one
sweatshirt. I asked for a lot
less than you. Hey,
Adam Curry: let's just get
straight to the big news. This
is the news everybody's talking
about. It's crazy. It's off the
hook. We just talked about this
happening. And here it is. The
moment
Unknown: you've been waiting for
is finally here. Don Lemon is
back. With a new show. Mr.
flippin posted a note to x
sharing the new Don Lemon show
will be airing on Twitter soon.
The former CNN anchor wrote that
x is the largest free speech
platform in the world. And that
space for honest debate is
needed without the hall
monitors.
Adam Curry: I'm going to I'm
going to predict something right
now. This is going to be a good
show. I think Don Lemon is going
to surprise people. Okay. Oh,
you have no predicted
John C Dvorak: I know it won't
be a good show. surprise
anybody.
Adam Curry: That'd be a great
show. Absolutely. No, I think
he's gonna surprise us at all.
Do you watch If you watch
John C Dvorak: this gonna make
Chris Cuomo jealous.
Adam Curry: I don't know about
that because I don't see how Don
Lemon is going to make any money
being on x. And if he goes all
sponsored, we're all you know
John C Dvorak: ILAs writing a
check and handing it tight
Somehow
Adam Curry: I don't think he's
doing that. I don't think he's
writing any check to talker. Any
of those guys? Why would he not
have to do that?
John C Dvorak: When the milk is
free, and
Adam Curry: I don't know if
you've noticed this, but Twitter
seems to be having bandwidth
issues or something. Like for
the past two or three days I
click on a video or just get a
circle spinning around nothing
you have to wait on something
going on with it.
John C Dvorak: You should it's
probably because somebody from
that Prime Video operation came
over. I can barely get a video
off of prime now something went
wrong between
Adam Curry: Amazon Prime Yeah.
Oh, really? So you're through
your what your Roku or how
you're accessing
John C Dvorak: it? No, I'm
accessing it through the app
that still specifically books to
the to your to my LG TV. And
it's got all the apps on there.
I got Netflix I got everything
and you click Netflix boots
right up. Amazon Prime hardly
ever boots. I'd like to people
to start documenting this is
Adam Curry: so you have a smart
TV. Yeah. Don't sit in front of
it in your underwear.
John C Dvorak: It doesn't have
any cameras.
Adam Curry: Oh yeah, that's what
you think by I wouldn't. Exactly
what I wouldn't trust that for a
moment.
John C Dvorak: I'm not just
watching TV in my underwear
anyway. If it was in a bedroom,
I might be just how you podcast.
In it when I'm podcasting. I'm
Yes, I'm only wearing
Adam Curry: shorts. There it is.
All right, let's get to the real
biggest news of the week. I
mean, this is the real ones
researchers
Unknown: have confirmed as if we
didn't know we need 23 was the
hottest year on record the
European Union's Copernicus
climate change service. Global
temperatures records going back
to the year 1850. warned that
this year, could very well be
even hot. It's gonna
Adam Curry: top it. It's gonna
top it. This is such a scam.
They Oh, it's going back to
1850. Well, if you
John C Dvorak: look at last was
it last year when they went
back? 10,000 or 250,000 years?
Yeah,
Adam Curry: they decided not to
do that because that was not
verifiable. But if you look at
1850 That's just around when the
Little Ice Age ended. Back in
the nine hundreds it was the
temperature was higher than it
is now. This is such a scam. I'm
so tired of this. And then
what's
John C Dvorak: interesting
insofar as being a scam is Nikki
Haley is on board
Adam Curry: with climate change.
Yeah. And she's
John C Dvorak: decided oh
brother cheese decided that
because of the demographics that
the younger generation is all in
on climate change. And so she's
gonna start promoting the idea
to pick up those voters instead
of doing what a what a leader
would do, which is trying to
educate people as to what what
aspects of this are just totally
scam ish. Oh, guess?
Adam Curry: Ah
John C Dvorak: yes, a big
everyone's it's a Buzz. Buzz
about Nikki's new strategy.
Adam Curry: Oh, really? Well,
yeah. All the buzz I got is, is
chris Christie dropping out of
the race and then the Hot Mic
Hot Mic incident
John C Dvorak: hot mic. The
phony Hot Mic incident. Oh, you
Adam Curry: think it's phony?
That's interesting. No, totally
Unknown: homeless tonight, Chris
Christie announcing the end of
his long shot presidential bid
just five days before the first
contest of the Republican
primary. It's clear to
me tonight that there isn't a
path for me to win the
nomination. Which is why I'm
suspending my campaign tonight.
Go for President United States.
The most vocal Trump critic in
the GOP field, the former New
Jersey governor had focused his
campaign on New Hampshire but
struggled to gain traction. I
am going to make sure that in no
way to I enable Donald Trump to
ever be President of the United
States again. And that's more
important than my own personal
ambition.
And while Christie made no
endorsement tonight, he already
faces pressure to back Nikki
Haley whom he has publicly
defended in the past, but has
repeatedly criticized in recent
days, including for not taking
on Trump more directly when you
ask her the tough questions.
Well, good Mike. She doesn't
answer. Christie
appearing to criticize her on a
hot mic, or his event began
tonight.
And she's gonna get smoked and
you and I both know what she
thought on social
media Trump calling that a
quote, very truthful statement.
Christy's exit could give Haley
up boost in New Hampshire, where
polls show her closing the gap
with Trump. And where a recent
poll shows roughly half of
Christie supporters listing
Haley as their second choice. So
Adam Curry: this whole Hot Mic
thing is not quite as
interesting. I mean, if you want
to hear it, I have the whole
thing, but
John C Dvorak: it's just that
part you played is the best part
that yeah, that's the best part.
But
Adam Curry: what I thought was
interesting is, you know,
because the general consensus is
that Nikki Haley is being funded
by big Democrat donors, anything
or anything, anything to get rid
of Trump because Nikki can do
it. And the way NBC categorized
as hot mic was weird,
Unknown: but just moments before
chris Christie started giving
this speech, there was a hot mic
moment. We talked about it a
little bit ago in the show in
which he was apparently talking
presumably about Nikki Haley,
apparently presumably saying
suggesting things suggested and
presumably her
Adam Curry: again, presumably or
we're not sure we're not sure if
it was about her, we really
don't know because, you know, he
said she but it could be it
could be big, the big
Unknown: O in the show in which
she was apparently talking
presumably about Nikki Haley,
saying suggesting that again,
presumably her couldn't get
smokes, let me play a little bit
of that hot mic moment now,
people
spent 16 million so far 59
million provides a Santas, and
we spent 12. And it comes
punching above their weight and
who's getting a return on their
investment, you know, and she's
gonna get smokes, and you and I
both know what she's up to. 20
points behind Trump. And he's
gonna always I talked to stances
called petrified, like getting
out, FYI.
Okay, there's a lot to unpack on
that one. John Allen is chris
Christie, of course, is still
speaking on stage, we're going
to listen to see if he does in
fact, make an endorsement. But
there's two pieces to this one.
And we got to be careful here. I
mean, hear from presume he's
talking about Nikki Haley, based
on that conversation. There's
only you know, one person who's
talking points a woman who's 20
points behind.
Adam Curry: I mean, it's almost
over. But this is crazy.
John C Dvorak: Presumably, he
cites the exact amount of money
she's collected. Who else who
else collected $65 million? As
he pointed out, I mean, besides
her,
Adam Curry: NBC has no problem
talking about sources say when
it comes to Trump or things like
that, but here it is playing on
its face. And she's all like,
well, you know, presumably,
we're not sure it could be. We
have to be very careful. You can
Unknown: presume he's talking
about Nikki Haley. Based on that
conversation. There's only you
know, one person who's 20
points, one woman who's 20
points behind Donald Trump in
New Hampshire, again, presumably
Nikki Haley, saying she's gonna
get smoked, you will already
seeing other campaigns pick up
on this, including, by the way
Donald Trump himself who as in
the course of our conversation
here in the last four minutes,
said I hear Chris Christie is
dropping out of the race to say
said he was just caught on a hot
mic saying she's gonna get
smoked, calling that a very
truthful statement here, John, I
mean, this is already creating
like a whole political saying
now
Adam Curry: the way she kept
saying is, presumably, maybe
we're not sure couldn't be a
week could it be tells me that
something's up.
John C Dvorak: But what well,
did
Adam Curry: they they're
disappointed they wanted Nikki
Haley to win. And now she's
gonna get smoked. Smoked, I tell
you smoke.
John C Dvorak: Well, I think the
again, I think this hot mic was
a fake. He really was hot. And
he's gonna say so. And what his
complaint what he was
complaining about, Christie.
Besides the fact that we all
know they, for some reason,
because Trump didn't give him a
position. He was looking for
something. He's pissed and he's
trying to get revenge in is the
fact that he says in that in
that little commentary in the
hot mic. He says that she picked
up $65 million in donations
largely from Silicon Valley and
Adam Curry: spent it on
television that's what he was
saying spent all that money.
John C Dvorak: What he's got,
but the numbers there he and
he's had 12 million. He's what
he's trying to I think convey is
that Hey, where's my money?
Adam Curry: If you'd only give
me money? I would have I would
have been that would have been
Nikki? Yeah, maybe. Isn't he
endorsing or now though?
John C Dvorak: I don't know that
he is. I believe so. He will did
he's a hypocrite he calm dog
chris Christie hypocrite anyway,
Adam Curry: that that part of it
doesn't matter. I mean, of
course, the funniest thing was
that I'd haven't looked at the
the ratings if they're even you
can't even get ratings anymore.
Oh, no, we can't do overnight
ratings because you know, that
would disappoint everybody. I'll
be waiting for the rating. So
Trump did at Fox News Town Hall,
which I did not see but
supposedly pretty good. He was
entertaining from what I
understand. Even the Young Turks
people were saying he was funny.
Which is odd for them. is weird.
Very weird for them to say that.
Here's, here's why. In small
clip about his so called Revenge
retribution on day one or day
one, a lot of
Unknown: time talking about
retribution. And so there are
questions about how much a
second term of a Donald Trump
presidency second term would be
about retribution and looking
backwards and grievances and how
much we'd be looking forward.
Well,
first of all, a lot of people
would say that that's not so bad
liquid they did Russia, Russia,
Russia hubs, the FBI, Twitter
hoax, the 51 intelligence agents
hoax, all of these different
hoaxes that they did. I mean,
you know, a lot of people would
say, that's probably quite
normal. I'm not gonna have time
for retribution. We're gonna
make this country so successful
again, I'm not gonna have time
for retribution.
Adam Curry: He sounds young. Do
you hear that in his way? Sounds
younger. Someone's calling on.
It could be the EQ sounds
bizarre males little sped up.
Just sounded younger. Yeah. Sue,
you got anything from from these
fabulous events?
John C Dvorak: I was, you know,
I would get I'm like, you know,
we get a jaded thing. I didn't
watch either one of them either.
I do have, I might have a
Christie thing. My version of
Christie is chris Christie
weirdness from NTDs. Basically,
your report was it was something
weird given
Unknown: to you as well to have
just moments ago, former New
Jersey Governor Chris Christie
announced that he's dropping out
of the 2024 presidential race.
And this comes just five days
before the first caucus in the
nation right here in Iowa. We
will have Chris Christie, who's
a vocal Trump critic, even in
announcing the suspension of his
campaign promise to keep Trump
out of office ever again.
Meanwhile, he actually might
have helped boost Trump's
chances just now by getting
caught on hot mic, saying that
Nikki Haley will get smoked, but
because
I want to promise you this. I am
going to make sure that in no
way to I enable Donald Trump to
ever be President of the United
States again, like she's gonna
get smoked. And you and I both
know what she's up to.
Adam Curry: Wow, that's weird.
So they say this is the hot mic
button and they play a bit from
from from they
John C Dvorak: did they clipped
in? That's weird. Yeah, it was
very different.
Adam Curry: But well, since
we're doing foreign foreigners,
I remember Ian Bremmer. Just
back from it. Wasn't he from
Iraq, but he was, he was brave
wasn't Bremmer, the guy handing
out the big stacks of money to
everybody? Maybe Yeah, he
John C Dvorak: may have evolved.
Yeah. Or the second Iraq war is
handing
Adam Curry: out money so now
he's a big week over there at
the Eurasia group, which is just
another Think Tank that'll be a
write up any papers you want for
money. And they created the list
of the biggest risks of 2024 the
biggest risks to good find now
do you think climate change is
the top
John C Dvorak: Oh, it has to be
it's the it's the number one
threat to the world for all it's
a what do you call it threat?
You know, it's gonna kill
everyone. existential threat
existential is the word I'm
looking for?
Adam Curry: Well, no, we
Unknown: begin the day going
down the list of the biggest
global risks of 2020. For every
January we take stock of what
threatened the world as we know
it last year, and what could do
the same in the new year and
this January, it's no different
for 2020 for some of the global
risks are all too familiar some
to be expected. That's according
to the Eurasia group. And its
annual global risk report for
joining me now is Ian Bremmer,
President, founder of Eurasia
group and G zero media. talk
first about the US presidential
election being Risk Number one,
you are not alone here. In
putting it at the top of the
list. I'd like to get your
reaction to what the
constitutional law professor
told me last night on this
program. When I asked about a
possible Trump victory comment
November, this
Adam Curry: is great. So before
he gets into it, they're going
to lead in with this
constitutional law professor.
I'm not sure who she is. She's a
dei hire. And, and she has her
book behind her on the shot.
This is this is just a
phenomenal piece of orange MAN,
bad dimension. Be nuttiness,
take a listen. Donald
Unknown: Trump becomes president
again. He's already decided he's
going to wreak vengeance on
anyone who opposes him,
especially the so called enemies
he already has in the government
and anybody who didn't vote for
him before. But he's also going
to join with other strong men
dictators around the country, I
mean, around the world and
create havoc around the globe
will not just rest within the
borders of the United States.
There will be I would say,
perhaps World War Three if he He
is allowed to join with other
dictators and put in place the
nationalist themes that he's
already advocated in the United
States. Now
Adam Curry: what? What
constitutional law was discussed
in that clip? This is just one
crazy lady's opinion. But it
kind of lines up with Eurasia
group.
Unknown: What do you what do you
say to that? I mean, if we're
talking about a risk that is so
acute so severe that we could be
looking at another world war.
Let me back
John C Dvorak: up stopped. So
you just came from Deutsche
Avella? No, no, France? 24. Oh,
really? Because it sounds like
one of the Deutsche Valley guys.
Adam Curry: Let me double check
you Sure? No, let me double
check. I'm pretty sure it was.
Where is it?
John C Dvorak: Because it makes
more sense coming for me. Oh,
no, no, it's
Adam Curry: France. 24. I wrote
it down France. 24. Okay, so
John C Dvorak: this that I did I
know who Okay, here's the other
guy. It's interesting, because
it would seem more like it came
from a propaganda outlet
Adam Curry: out France. 24 is
not a propaganda outlet.
John C Dvorak: Well, no, but
they're not a CIA control, like
not yet. But they gotta maybe
they are already they got
revenue, they got Bremmer
Adam Curry: in the house.
Unknown: Let me walk back from
the brink a little bit. The
United States democracy is in
crisis. If you write our report,
we look at American trust in
institutions, from Congress and
the executive to the media and
the judiciary, to the church,
and they have all been going
down, down down, nothing is
stopping that. They the US is
the one democracy in the g7 that
does not have the committed
ability to have a free and fair
transfer of power in a
legitimate national election.
That is a serious issue that we
should not normalize. And in the
next few months, Donald Trump,
who had tried to overturn the
outcome of the 2020 election, is
enormously likely to become the
nominee of the Republican Party.
And when he does, the
Republicans will be loyal to
him. And he will
Adam Curry: become more shows
from January 6 footage in the
background to more
Unknown: powerful overnight,
which means his policies, his
policies, not just domestically,
but also internationally, his
willingness to go after Biden is
willingness to cut off the
Ukrainians his willingness to go
after the Iranians trade
decoupling with the Chinese,
those will become policies that
the Republicans as a party will
pursue. And so this is not just
about the coin flip of where we
end up come this November, but
it's also about the entire year
where we're going to be in a
much more divided much more
problematic policy environment
for the US and for its allies
around the world and people are
Adam Curry: expected. Yes See?
Things horrible things, which
sounds good to me.
John C Dvorak: What was this
list? He did? They didn't even
mean was that number one, and
they just stopped. Where's the
top 10 Touch now?
Adam Curry: It's climate change
was number four. The whole list
of lists was dumb. That's dumb.
Who cares? Number one is all
they want to talk about. World
war three. Yes. At Trump World
war three, he's gonna He's gonna
get together with other leaders
around the world and wreak
havoc. Okay, okay. Because
that's all they can think of.
Let's make world war three.
Yeah. Great idea, guys. By the
way, our constitutional lawyer
Jeff Raab, sent in some opinions
from law 360. About the you
know, Trump and the 14th
Amendment section three,
because, you know, he took that
to the Supreme Court. And man, I
mean, the title of this article
is weary justices have many off
ramps in Trump ballot dispute.
Here's some of the opinions just
so you know. See Covington and
Burlington LLP says Special
Counsel Matt Chapin Anka that
they would take the case comes
as no surprise how they choose
to decide it will be. The court
granted Trump's broad question
of where the Colorado Supreme
Court eard in his decision, as
opposed to specific questions
about Section threes,
applicability and enforcement
posed by brand to the state's
political party, giving justice
at least eight ways to overrule
the state court's ruling. This
is a shoo in. Supreme Court is
free to decide Trump's case in a
myriad of ways. This is going to
be in his favor, no doubt about
it.
John C Dvorak: But it has to be
because of his not in his favor.
The first thing that's going to
happen is Biden's going to be
kicked off the Florida ballot.
swing states that Colorado
Adam Curry: exact and this is
it's like the season of reveal.
Now we've Find out that was a
Fannie Willis, the Georgia
District Attorney.
John C Dvorak: Oh, yeah, she's
she's stupid her the guy she
hired to prosecute Trump
Adam Curry: who's who sent the
White House invoices. How stupid
are these people?
John C Dvorak: I have a clip on
that.
Adam Curry: I don't have a clip
I was looking for. But most of
it was just, you know, Twitter
outrage, like,
John C Dvorak: what I do is this
funny story. Oh,
Adam Curry: yeah. Well, and also
now she's been subpoenaed in
that guy's divorce case.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Because the
divorce. Yeah. Yes.
Adam Curry: homewrecker. And
have I didn't get a clip, Nancy
Pelosi now claiming that she
begged for the National Guard
troops on January 6, which of
course is emphatically not true.
She's the one that lied. Yes,
she stopped it. I'm telling you
this. This is the season of
reveal all shall be revealed.
And a lot of people will pay
attention. Not Not. Not all, but
many will know I think our show
will. Yeah. I mean, even. I
mean, it's crazy how things just
keep circling back and people's
heads are all filled with
weirdness particularly Democrats
in in Congress. You saw Jaya
Paul, member of the squad,
trying to discredit Trump.
During this special session, she
did one we're
Unknown: going to talk about
outrageous things that have
happened or things that have
never happened. Let's talk about
the fact that President Trump
incited an erection and
Adam Curry: you can talk about
that too. Which of course gives
me the moment to play our mini
cut of all Democrats thinking
about erections
Unknown: into inciting an
erection. They feel the
President has incited an
erection for inciting the
erection
incited the erection. So I'm
just inside an erection inside
an erection on the Capitol
reciting that deadly erection.
From President Trump incited in
aren
t he worked to incite an
erection is no comparison
to inciting an erection into
inciting an erection for
inciting the erection, incited
the erection
it was hard to get it aroused
and it is hard to get it
aroused, but we got it. All
Adam Curry: right, there you go.
What are people thinking when
they make a mistake like that?
John C Dvorak: Well, you think
they're thinking I guess.
Where's the hard on for Trump?
Oh,
Adam Curry: there you go. Very
good. Excellent. Well, okay, so
we might as well get all of the
US news out of the way.
John C Dvorak: Let's skip to one
thing that you kind of touched
on it, which have we seen Lloyd
Austin yet?
Adam Curry: No, we still
haven't. We've only seen a
statement that he said, Oh, I'm
sorry. I got I have to repent. I
gotta think about this. Yeah,
well,
John C Dvorak: then there's a
rumor. It's more than a rumor in
circles. Yes. Killed in Ukraine.
Adam Curry: This, this comes
from raw news, which said they
go out
John C Dvorak: from Russia. No,
rah, rah news is a weird
operation because it's really
kind of Babylon beam meets Real
News. Yeah, yeah. So it's kind
of so you don't know what's true
and what's not true in there.
And that report is like too many
weird details. But I got
something which is a which is a
podcaster does military history
or something some and he's
Russia. I think he's a Russian
plant, too. But he has kind of
tries to explain some things.
And he brings in some new terms,
which call, which is called
Making a legend. Which means
when you are illegally in some
area and you get killed your
people make a legend as to how
you died. Oh, I never heard this
term. That's a good I haven't
heard it either. But let's play
the Lloyd Austin clips from this
guy is he got a deep kind of a
kind of a Eastern European
accent. You have to kind of get
a good hearing. All right,
Unknown: NATO says that there is
no need to officers, Russians,
the Russians are saying that.
Almost every month they managed
to get this or that one. And
important thing is not about the
situation. We don't know who's
lying who's telling the truth.
The most important is if somehow
another NATO officer enter
Ukraine and he was hit by the
Russian missile what happens
next? You might find very
interesting that if this officer
is located in Ukraine or anyone
else unofficially, and if
somehow he managed these are
that's Russian missile or
anyone's missile I've managed to
get him. There is a special
group that start creating
legend. Start creating a legend
and for example, if these are
that night officers died, then
we can might may find another
car accident. Or let's say we
may find another heart attack.
Or we might find another, let's
say, accident somewhere on the
holidays as a result of this
accident this or that officer
died or something like this. So
anyway, the legend should be,
you need to explain why these
are that General of Nate's army
died in this or that
circumstances. And so this is
the situation. And now we're
moving back to Lloyd oyston,
because according to information
we have he disappeared from TVs
on the second of January. The
second of January, I'll remind
you is the day when the Russians
ended their massive missiles
strikes over the entire Ukraine,
including Kinzel is come there,
many other different types of
missiles, like of how serious
and so on. And furthermore, as a
reminder that the Russians,
according to their report,
during those days managed to get
another base. And at least as I
remember, one deputy of General
Staff of Ukraine was died as a
result of another strike. And
few let's see bases with
officers need to officers also
were destroyed.
Adam Curry: Ha, do you know the
name of this podcast? I want to
subscribe to it.
John C Dvorak: It's a military
something I posted on no agenda
social that entire his entire
Spiel goes on for about an hour
video or is it only on his
video? He's on he's got
Adam Curry: that Tom Brady?
Isn't on Bridey on?
John C Dvorak: I got it off
YouTube? Oh, it's under it's on
the real deal.
Adam Curry: I can't I can't I
can't believe that they haven't
taken that down yet. This is
horrible. This speculation.
John C Dvorak: Well, they're
sitting there anyway, you know,
agenda social has a has a copy.
So here we go into the second
part of this. So
Unknown: very likely, I'm not
saying that this is like
complete truth that we got this
information somewhere from
reliable sources, or the
Washington Post wrote about
this. No, we don't have this.
But everything is like a theory
that very likely that Lloyd
OYSTEIN. During the new let's
say, a New Year holidays,
visited Ukraine. And it was an
official visit. Maybe they
wanted to discuss something
resiliency without some official
documents. And as a result of
Russian missiles strike as the
revenge for Belgrade bombings.
When the planes were bombing
building, it was class two
rounds, Lloyd Austin may be
wounded and he was transferred
of course to United States of
America maybe he's a very poor
condition because of his house
and this is the reason why he
was already dismissed by the
Congress and very likely that
he's going to have a lot of
problems and very likely we're
not going to see Lloyd Austin
anymore. Once again, I hope that
this all these talks I just
provided is just wishful
thinking or it's just a theory
from the others Yeah, we should
all listen to recover as soon as
possible
Adam Curry: All right, so the
thinking here would be well we
have to make legend out of him
because we can't to actually
well first of all who says he
was killed by the Russians? I
mean they've got guys popping
off hang grenades all day long
over there on their own guys
remember that all the all these
these top brass military guys
like oh, here's a hand grenade
in your cake
John C Dvorak: were there yes
I'm sure that's going on too bad
my understanding from reading
the various things a lot of BS
no doubt about you can't find
anything on RT so that's kind of
makes you wonder But the
Russians are always on the
lookout for these NATO guys
coming in to advise advise the
Ukrainians and then they they
assassinate them left and right
if they can by just pummeling
wherever they are whatever
meeting and I guess they
summoned got stuck to see Lloyd
Austin comes through with some
be a good one. Let's see how
they explain this.
Adam Curry: I'm laughing but of
course it's tragic but so why
wouldn't they do anything
John C Dvorak: in this is all
why must follow the logical has
not cropped up well, let's
Adam Curry: follow the logic for
a minute though. So he's killed
over there. Why would they just
say oh man he got killed let's
go let's go bomb Russia bomb
Moscow. Clearly there nobody
wants that was just shows that
this is not at all about Russia.
And really well, there
John C Dvorak: was no okay.
There's no pre. There was no
announcement of him going there
was it's like a top secret
mission. Why was he there? Why
was he meeting? Why is our
Secretary of Defense hanging out
and you're cramming this is like
Brammer when he was in Ukraine
hanging out at me.
Adam Curry: I mean, why is Sean
pan over there? I mean,
everyone's over there.
Everyone's in on this scam. You
know, I have two clips here that
that that May kind of show that
we're getting really towards the
end. And I don't know what
they're going to do with Lloyd
Austin actually want to play
this. Kirby, who is who was in
the Pentagon who should know,
much better as what's going on.
Ducey was grilling him. And
Kirby really kind of had a mini
meltdown. He couldn't handle the
questions.
Unknown: I think it's up to you
and your colleagues. And it's up
to the American people to
determine, you know, how much
they're going to ascribe what
happened here to our credibility
and every single issue. But in
in every way. Secretary Austin
has been an exceptional defense
secretary and he still has the
full faith and confidence of the
Commander in Chief,
Adam Curry: why didn't he say
is, is an outstanding Secretary
defense. Why did he Why say has
been? I mean, if I, if I were
Lloyd Austin, I'm still alive,
I'd be pissed about this. But
Unknown: in in every way.
Secretary Austin has been an
exceptional defense secretary
and he still has the full faith
and confidence of the Commander
in Chief, he has led the
department at an incredibly
dangerous time for our national
security
John C Dvorak: is leading has
led Yes, yes. As opposed to is
leading all of this, the
Unknown: Commander in Chief, he
has led the department at an
incredibly dangerous time for
our national security interests
and those of our allies and
partners. But
if the administration is gonna
go to such great lengths to keep
secrets about the defense,
secretaries of health, how can
anybody be certain that the
administration would not go to
the same lengths to keep secret
problems with President Biden?
So
if, if you could logically
argue, and you can't, but if you
could logically argue that one
years old, wait a second, just
give me a second here, Bob? I'll
get there.
Adam Curry: Second here, Bob,
what is that all about? That's
not very that's not right.
John C Dvorak: Very
professional, Bob. Hey,
Adam Curry: Bob. I wouldn't even
call you Bob. That's just not
cool. Dude
John C Dvorak: is bad enough,
Bob,
Unknown: are you and you can't.
But if you could, logically,
one years old. Wait
a second. Just give me a second
here. But I'll get there. If if
the administration made some
sort of Machiavellian effort
across the board to to keep this
from getting public, then I
think your question has merit,
and certainly is a fair one. I
don't think it's a fair one.
Because that's not what happened
here. Peter, what happened here
is the Secretary of Defense. For
whatever reason, I can't answer
the question why? That
information wasn't shared wasn't
shared widely in the department,
and it certainly wasn't shared
again. It's not good. It's
certainly not good. We want to
learn from this. We want to, we
want to make sure that it
doesn't happen again. We want
Adam Curry: to learn from this
we'll make sure it doesn't
happen again. But how many of
these guys are going to get
killed? I might as well play the
to the mainstream reports I have
and then get into what I really
want to play. This is. Let's
see. We'll start with CBS
Secretary
Unknown: Austin had surgery for
prostate cancer more than two
weeks ago, but hid the diagnosis
from his commander in chief.
Until today.
The President didn't know about
the diagnosis until this
morning. Austin underwent
surgery on December 22nd. CBS
News CHIEF MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT
Dr. John will pook describes the
operation which the Pentagon
called an elective medical
procedure.
When you take out the entire
prostate it is a major
operation. On New
Year's Day Austin began to
suffer complication so
Adam Curry: don't think that's
really if if you're taking
someone's whole prostate out
that's not enough elective
surgery. That's like emergency
cancer surgery, isn't it? Well,
John C Dvorak: they also that's
interesting that they're CVS or
bring this in because my
understanding was there was some
something lesser than that, that
took place and they're not
really giving us good
explanations. And then there's
the rumor again, we don't know
this one way or the other, but
they're not covering it because
they're the replay. Why would
we? Why would we is nobody at
Walter Reed even saw the guy.
Adam Curry: I mean, he's a hard
guy to miss.
John C Dvorak: It's hard to miss
Unknown: the hard guy to miss.
On New Year's Day, Austin began
to suffer complications,
including
nausea with severe abdominal,
hip and leg pain. initial
evaluation revealed a urinary
tract infection
Adam Curry: very rare for men.
By the way, UTI
Unknown: This is an unusual
complication. Usually these
surgeries, they are big
operations, but people recover
very well. Generally without any
kind of a complication like
this.
admitted to the ICU with a tube
down his nose to drain his
stomach. Austin turned over his
powers as Secretary of Defense
to his deputy, but waited three
full days before telling the
White House he was in the
hospital.
It is not optimal to for a
situation like this to go as
long as it did without the
commander in chief knowing about
it. That's not the way A this is
supposed to happen. The
White House ordered all cabinet
secretaries to immediately
report whenever they are not
able to perform their duties.
And the Pentagon began a review
of what took so long.
Adam Curry: NBC had one other
detail about the assistant
secretary or the Yeah, the
Deputy Secretary
John C Dvorak: contradicts what
we've been hearing. Supposedly
she didn't know anything either.
She was on vacation. Yeah, she
was on vacay. Night the mystery
surrounding wouldn't if she if
this had been going on while she
was on vacay. Wouldn't she fly
back immediately? You
Adam Curry: would. Thanks. Hey,
if I was some second in command,
I'm like, hey, I can be the top
dog.
John C Dvorak: I can take over.
I'm
Adam Curry: coming back. You
bet. Tonight
Unknown: the mystery surrounding
Secretary of Defense Lloyd
Austin secret of hospitalization
revealed he was being treated
for prostate cancer. His doctor
say he was diagnosed in early
December, but defense officials
say he hid the illness from top
Pentagon officials and even the
president nobody
at the White House knew that
Secretary Austin had prostate
cancer until this morning.
A statement from Walter Reed
saying his surgical procedure on
December 22 was to treat and
cure prostate cancer
Adam Curry: December 22. Now
that changes the timeline a bit
All we know is about January now
the procedure was on December
22.
Unknown: Prostate cancer this
until this morning, a
statement from Walter Reed
saying his surgical procedure on
December 22 was to treat and
cure prostate cancer. They say
he was under general anesthesia
but released the next morning,
but on Monday, January 1, Austin
was rushed back to Walter Reed
via ambulance with severe pain,
suffering from an infection and
fluid buildup that was impairing
his small intestine. On Tuesday,
January 2, Austin was admitted
to the intensive care unit and
transferred some authorities to
his deputy Kathleen Hicks, while
she was on vacation in Puerto
Rico. But Hicks and the White
House were not told he was in
the ICU until Thursday, January
4, members of Congress senior
Pentagon leaders and the public
were not informed until the
night of Friday, January 5,
this guy shouldn't be in charge
of our military now.
John C Dvorak: Well, I'm gonna
continue calling for full
disclosure, I'm calling for a
full hearing
Unknown: the Pentagon now
reviewing who knew what, when
and why the White House wasn't
told.
Clearly, we could have done
better and we will do better.
Austin's
Chief of Staff now ordering that
these officials be told when
Austin transfers authority to
Hicks and why Austin remains
hospitalized tonight, having now
spent all of 2024 in the
hospital doctors they're saying
he's expected to make a full
recovery, but it can be a slow
process.
Adam Curry: Here's what I'm
missing. I'm missing Hicks. Why
isn't Hicks out there saying I
know we're in two wars. It's all
good. I'm here. steady hand on
the helm. It's all good. I wish
Secretary Boyd Austin all the
best and his recovery.
Everything's good. I got you.
That's what we're missing.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, and you
know what they're doing right
now? Looking for a double
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah. Maybe the
dad from Fresh Prince of Bel Air
is available.
John C Dvorak: You're going to
have to find a tot to problem
with this guy. And they may be
it's something to consider in
the future you Democrats tough
to don't hire a guy that's tough
to double a job that is that
big. Yeah. And that tall.
Adam Curry: But even then you
would have Hicks come out and
say, Don't worry, everybody
John C Dvorak: was Hicks. I know
I'm not arguing about what you
just said. We're getting a
double I'm just saying what
they're more concerned about is
finding a double or you haven't
come up with a reason for him to
die. Well
Adam Curry: the reason is, first
of all, our comes razor says
this happened and prostate
cancer is of course horrible and
men die from it. Yeah, you know,
this is not something that that
you know, unfortunately. So So I
wish him no ill but despite the
mess ups they're just making it
worse by not having the second
in command come out while we're
at so called at war in Ukraine,
so called at war in the Middle
East. We've got the red sea
situation, we've got everything
popping off and we don't have
anybody saying Don't worry about
nobody, not even standing. And
we got Kirby going off. Oh,
John C Dvorak: poor Kirby. You
know, he may have been a good
friend with this guy and he's
probably beside herself because
if the Russian story is true,
and the guy's dead, was badly
injured or wounded and
Adam Curry: whatever then that
we have house Democrat this
John C Dvorak: is this is
obviously we Getting we're
getting fed bowl, media and
nobody cares to look into it.
Adam Curry: So this the backdrop
here is that the there's a
proposal now that has, I think,
been negotiated between Mike
Johnson, Speaker of the House,
Republican Mike Johnson, and the
White House for the spending
bill, which includes over almost
$900 billion for the military,
but lacks any specific budgets
for Ukraine, Israel, and the
much discussed Well, we've got
to change the border. You know,
that was supposed to be a Fed
accompli is like it unless you
change the policy at the border.
We're not going to sign off in
any money for for these two wars
that were not involved in
financing paying for. And so the
first clip I have is chip Roy,
from Texas, and he was on Glenn
Beck and he's passed about this
Unknown: greetings from West Des
Moines, Iowa, where it's like a
balmy 20 degrees outside but the
snowstorm coming in, but the
real snowstorm coming in is
coming into DC that's going to
hammer the American people,
Republicans doing exactly what
they always do, which is be the
party of excuses. The party will
never find a way to not
capitulate and spend more money
that we don't have and rack up
more debt. So what are we doing
now under speaker Johnson right
NEW SPEAKER more of the same
garbage we're going to have a
bill is $1.66 trillion. That is
almost, that's about $58 billion
more than the disastrous Nancy
Pelosi omnibus bill the
Republicans opposed a year ago,
it is $100 billion dollars more
than what we would get if
Republicans had the spine to
walk onto the House floor and
send a simple year long
continuing resolution over the
Senate that would trigger the
cuts. All Adobe they meager in
the debt deal last summer, it
would trigger cuts, that we
could get 1.56 2 trillion in
spending. They won't do that.
Because they're all in the hip
pocket of all the lobbyists,
they hide behind our military.
And now we're not going to get
the border secure. We're going
to spend $100 billion more than
we have to we're going to
increase spending over the Nancy
Pelosi spending deals. And
Republicans are going to go try
to sell you and the American
people that somehow win. Don't
believe that. This is what the
American people are tired of.
And I'm like, I'm gonna call
balls and strikes. I call balls
and strikes on Kevin McCall
balls and strikes on mic. And
speaker. People should call
balls and strikes. I mean,
that's the way it works.
Adam Curry: Tough Guy tough guy,
Chip. Gas guy. Drake's balls and
strikes. I'm calling balls and
strikes. But it appears that
there's a gambit afoot. And this
is one that I predicted. And I
think it may be happening
because the information now
comes from Washington Post
reporter, Josh Rogen, WaPo, WaPo
WaPo.
John C Dvorak: And Asha Rogen.
Adam Curry: Yes, the actor No, r
o g i n Rogan. He's from WaPo.
And he was on the John bachelor
show. And he brought up some
strategy which makes total
sense. In light of Bill, both
the unit party in Washington DC
does not actually want to fix
the border. We know this. Does
that mean? This is why it hasn't
happened. They want it they need
it. The bankers want it. We need
people coming in. We need it for
a whole bunch of reasons, but
mainly to be able to print more
money because there's people
here who need money, and then we
print money for everybody. We
need liquidity. Open the
borders. So what are we doing
with with Ukraine? Remember that
$300 billion of Russian money
Unknown: presuming that this
goes to at the g7 meeting in
February, it has to mean that
they're working on a
presentation now. Is any of it
to be used for armaments for
what they need now to get
through the winter? Or is it all
going to be designated for
rebuilding, right? That's
a key distinction. This would
only be used for mid to long
term rebuilding and
reconstruction, it would not be
used to fund the war effort. And
so it does not replace the need
for Congress to also pass
billions of dollars in
additional new military,
economic and humanitarian
assistance for Ukraine just to
get through this year. What it
can do is it can provide a
political cover for Republicans
who are scared of backlash from
the GOP base, and also give
Americans a reassurance that
there's an end to this
commitment that when it comes
time to rebuild Ukraine,
there'll be a pot of money that
will be sitting there now how
that gets done, they'll have to
be a mechanism that will have to
be some sort of organization to
distribute it and make sure it
doesn't all go into corrupt
coffers and all of that that's a
multi year effort all by itself.
So this is a very complicated
set of policies that never
really existed before. But first
you have to have the political
will to do it. And that's been
the problems that the fight
ministration didn't want to do
it. They thought they know that
Europeans didn't want to do it.
But now they really have little
choice. Because if this is the
way to get the Republic, some
Republicans, at least those who
want to support Ukraine, but are
scared of political backlash to
vote for the Ukrainians, and
that's really the most important
thing right now. So it was
always a good idea, in my view,
and now it's a politically
expedient one as well.
Adam Curry: So this will be
decided in February at the g7.
It's emitted it's at that level.
John C Dvorak: First of all, I
don't know who is clipping the
John bachelor show for you. But
that's pretty wild that someone
would be that dedicated. But
it's Mike getting the straight
they're gonna steal the Russian
money.
Adam Curry: Yeah, that you said
would never happen.
John C Dvorak: I said it would
never happen because it's just
it's, it's, it's opening
Pandora's Box. Hello. If they
take then steal this money? Is
not your money.
Adam Curry: Told? Hello? What do
you think of it? Look, would you
rather that they steal it from
you in taxes? Or inflation? Let
them steal it from the Russians.
Everyone will be happy had damn
Russians.
John C Dvorak: You're gonna have
to pay the Russians back for
this. It's not Oh, really be
stealing anything.
Adam Curry: But that'll be for
Trump to do when he wins. They
don't care at this point. They
don't care. But I think it's
John C Dvorak: right. Yeah,
continuation of the basic thesis
that I think that we somewhat
agree on, which is they're going
to screw up as much as they can,
knowing Trump's getting in no
matter what you do. Yeah. And
put him in there. Let him fix
it.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Give it to
him. We'll see in 2028. When
Nikki's a Democrat or whatever,
or board Gavin Newsom or
whoever,
John C Dvorak: she's Democrat,
or the Hello, whoever, whoever
is you see them fundraising in
Silicon Valley. I sent you that
when I get these things.
Adam Curry: Yes, I say Draper
Draper
John C Dvorak: is what he's one
of the big
Adam Curry: Goodness gracious. I
didn't get this really funny
clip that was on the acts of New
York, Congresswoman Clark to
Democrat. And she, she she said,
Hey, keep the border open. This
is good. It's good for me from
Unknown: Brooklyn, New York, we
have a diaspora that can absorb
a significant number of these
migrants. And that, you know,
when I hear colleagues talk
about, you know, the doors of
the NBN close, no room in the
end, I am saying, you know, I
need more people in my district,
but just for redistricting
purposes, and those members
could could clearly fit here.
Wow,
Adam Curry: she just said it.
Bring those bodies in. I can use
it for redistricting.
John C Dvorak: Have a clip about
the school donate
Adam Curry: the in New York.
Yeah. I don't know. These
John C Dvorak: are very poorly
organized today. I've got like
two minutes wrong.
Adam Curry: What is what is
going on yet? Something's wrong
with you. May
John C Dvorak: or can promise I
started clipping too early in
the week. Oh, that's bad. But I
know you have to clip at the
last minute otherwise you end up
with a mess. By
Adam Curry: the way. Michelle
Obama just speaking of Democrats
did this hour long interview.
Yeah. Everyone saw it and
everybody's saying she's
running. She's running. You were
right. Big mic. 2024. Big mic
2420 20 four.com. Everybody,
she's running she's running. And
it was Daily Caller who had the
best headline and opening graph.
Quote, Michelle Obama has a big
package for Democrats this
election season. Oh, writer,
former First Lady Michelle Obama
revealed her huge package on a
podcast Monday that could help
Democrats hold on to the White
House in 2024 She's ready to
fill up Democrats strategy
sessions with a new man with a
new twist on the same old
tactics as she and her husband
prepared to Double Team America
with more fear
John C Dvorak: I mean wrote that
be shameful we're not even that
juvenile no we're not that is so
bad is the clip is great New
York City moves immigrants to
school age
Adam Curry: clipper gauge
clipper wrote that
John C Dvorak: yeah, oh gage
clipper Sure. Why. So buddy
named jig name Lipper. In itself
has got says some sexual
innuendo. I
Adam Curry: love that. It's
like, boy, you guys are really
going all out. Just go beyond
anything that no agenda guys
would do. And that's crazy. But
yeah, it's there was I don't
want to switch topics if you
have other things. No, I
John C Dvorak: got the clip.
It's great New York City school
thing. Great.
Unknown: Okay, let's do that
students out and illegal
immigrants in New York City has
decided to turn In a high school
into a temporary shelter for
illegal immigrants, and the
decision is forcing students
into remote learning entities.
Jason Perry reports from
the high school.
I'm here in front of James
Madison High School in Brooklyn,
New York. And last night on
Tuesday night, almost 2000
illegal immigrants stayed in
this high school overnight. And
because of that the students who
usually attend school here won't
be learning anything today on
Wednesday, they'll be taking
their classes at home remotely.
The reason these illegal
immigrants stayed the night here
is because New York was facing a
severe weather alert of heavy
rain potential flooding and
winds around 70 miles per hour.
And given that they were staying
in tents, 2000 families with
children moved to the high
school out of an overabundance
of caution. The city had heavy
rains and high winds overnight
on Tuesday, but it's been
clearing up on Wednesday. local
elected officials are arguing
that this problem was
foreseeable due to
vulnerabilities during severe
weather, and that the location
and Floyd Bennett field was not
a good place to set up an
immigrant shelter. And how are
the parents feeling about the
move? The New York Post reported
that at least one woman said to
be a local parent shouted at the
illegal immigrants as they
arrived at this high school.
Moreover, what about working
parents who want their children
to have adult supervision while
they're at work? Many questions
remain. Since mid 2022. Over
160,000 illegal immigrants have
entered New York City, a so
called sanctuary city and many
of them have been bused from
Texas, New York City Mayor Eric
Adams said that increase could
destroy New York City.
Adam Curry: Yeah, New York City.
That's like saying destroy
democracy. Right? This
John C Dvorak: is coming from
Adams.
Adam Curry: It seems so obvious
now, the way it unfolds. And
just presuming that, that, you
know, politicians don't run they
just do whatever they're told.
Everything goes to crap. Trump
becomes president and signs a
whopper a whopper of a stimulus
and then refinances the whole
country. With the perfect to
refi.
John C Dvorak: Bill, he's a refi
guy.
Adam Curry: Yeah, I might go to,
you know, to International
Criminal Court for overvaluing
the United States but so there
was this, this other outrage,
which also squarely fell in our
camp, which was the Taylor
Swift, NATO op op. Did you catch
this?
John C Dvorak: I caught part of
it, but I didn't really pay much
attention because I'm kind of
sickened by the Taylor Swift op,
well, in the first place, so
even
Adam Curry: Jesse waters, you
know, like, oh, Taylor Swift,
you know, they would NATO would
you'd want to use her as an
Optima and they play this very,
very short clip, which to me is
always like, that stinks. I'm
gonna go look at the full thing.
And it's actually if they had
taken three seconds to evaluate
what's really going on this
clip, it's much better. So the
idea here is is a presentation
at the NATO let me see I have
the the 11th International
Conference on cyber conflict,
also known as cyber cyber sigh
con. organised by the NATO
Cooperative Cyber Defense Center
of Excellence. So they have this
this young woman and she's
presenting influence operations
I O influence operations and how
you can use them and she talks
about utilizing famous people
which da and they have a picture
and they have a picture of
Taylor Swift now had these these
these while Jesse waters is is m
five M but this was a lot of
this was and of course everyone
tagging you you are right now
it's much worse than that. Yeah,
much. The woman who's presenting
space Alicia Marie Barger or
Barger. Now listen carefully.
She's a research engineer at
Johns Hopkins. There we go. Even
more interesting. This clip is
from 2019 August 2019. We are
now talking just a few months
before the pandemic. Now it
becomes a little more
interesting if you listened a
little bit before that short
clip and a little bit after
here's the intro. Finally,
Unknown: you want to you came in
here wanting to understand how
you just go out there and
calculating that information.
Well,
John C Dvorak: he's got that
same cadence, then the, you
know, the advertising, whatever
you want to call it, the Lisa
Monaco. She's part of the milieu
of these douchebags.
Adam Curry: Oh, it's much worse
remember August 2019. Finally,
Johns Hopkins,
Unknown: you want to you came in
here wanting to understand how
you just go out there and
countering that inflammation
operation? Well, this is the you
know, this is kind of the the
last step. The network
interventions are actually
developed within the public
health domain. And so these are
the ones I'm going to give you
are going to provide examples
from health. So the idea is that
social influence can help can
help encourage or promote
behavior change. And the theory
here is essentially that this
sort of approach works as well.
With regards to misinformation.
It's important to recognize that
this could be you know, this is
an ethically concerning thing to
go out there and to try to
change hearts and minds. But
it's important to think about
how would we actually do this in
a way that would work with
people so potentially as like a
peaceful information operation?
Adam Curry: So she's talking
about Information Operations,
she's talking about health.
Well, that's interesting. Ben
from health, remember 2020
election year from health, she
goes to politics with Taylor
Swift.
Unknown: So the first one,
that's the most famous and the
most, most common, is working
with famous people, or main
influencers to share information
or particular message. So I
include Taylor Swift in here,
because she's, you know, she's a
fairly influential online
person. I don't know if you've
heard of her. But she's actually
this is a cropped image, but
she's standing next to a you
know, go vote sign. And actually
celebrities, at least in the US,
regularly will post pictures of
themselves with an encouragement
to people to go vote and this
has a measurable effect on voter
turnout. Now, when it comes to
counting and IO, that particular
message, one needs to consider
whether or not the opinion
leader actually wants to share
that message, because it may or
may not be popular, and they may
or may not know how to share it
without accidentally increasing
more in misinformation. However,
this is one that's relatively
accessible and understandable
approach.
Adam Curry: Very successful,
understandable because
information. Influence
operations are normal fare,
normal fare of now she's talking
about health in August of 2019.
She's talking about voting in
2019. And let's just bring it
home Johns Hopkins.
Unknown: Finally, alteration,
changing individuals or
relationships within a network.
This isn't necessarily as to
make it more clear think of
vaccination. This is actually
education or teaching people
particularly those and prominent
areas from which they could
spread misinformation how to
recognize it and counter it
themselves, can help can help
stop misinformation in its
place? They
Adam Curry: were ready. They
were ready for vaccination
hesitancy, they were ready for
health issues. They are ready
for the election year. This is
rife. And you know, I just use
Taylor Swift. You probably don't
they probably can't afford
Taylor Swift. But this is they
were ready for this. Isn't this
around the same time as event?
201?
John C Dvorak: A two a one is
the this was 2019. Yeah.
Adam Curry: August 2019. was
John C Dvorak: about to say it's
in it's within a six month I
think of 20 of the event, which
was also at Johns Hopkins.
Adam Curry: August 23. Don't
John C Dvorak: forget don't
forget
Adam Curry: August 25 2019. Was
event 201.
John C Dvorak: And don't forget
to map the map. Yeah, remember
the map the deaths map that
Johns Hopkins released?
Adam Curry: And the numbers
well, then the numbers every
John C Dvorak: day is all over
the place? Yeah.
Adam Curry: Yeah. The death map.
So Johns Hopkins is bad news.
John C Dvorak: Well, seems so
that's where our the guy that
used to listen to our show for a
long time, even though he hated
the fact that we were reporting
Trump haters. Oh, yeah, he was
out of Johns Hopkins. Finally at
the end, speaking of economic
hitmen influence
Adam Curry: operations, Norman
Lear, influenza, numero uno.
Would you believe this? He got
saved one year before his death
at 108 when he was 100.
John C Dvorak: Again, what did
he say? Well,
Adam Curry: he, I mean, he got
in under the wire. He won't go
to hell. You won't go to hell.
You got saved? Yeah, we
John C Dvorak: don't know that.
Yeah. I mean if he really you
don't know that you haven't
visited hell Well, I mean it was
the last time you went to Austin
that you go so I got some Brett
Weinstein stuff that
Adam Curry: I was hoping to stay
away from that but you liked
John C Dvorak: I believe my my
clips are well chose let me ask
you a question.
Adam Curry: Is that guy's
forehead jacked with Botox or
what? I
John C Dvorak: don't know what
to his problem is not moving.
I'm not a big fan. He is not I'm
Adam Curry: not either.
John C Dvorak: I mean, Eric I
can tolerate a little more like
Heather.
Adam Curry: So Brett was on
Tucker and Johnny brought
John C Dvorak: this references
eluding me
Adam Curry: his wife, Brett
Weinstein's
John C Dvorak: wife. Oh, yeah.
pitches are in here, which I
don't think she was on here with
him wish Oh,
Adam Curry: no buts. I like her
on the potty. She's much more.
Yes. Why is your forehead number
Peter Griffin
John C Dvorak: falls on the
ground. Okay. This Bret
Weinstein on Tucker talking
about the VAX. Now what irks me
I mean, I this analysis is
great. But somehow, Brett throws
himself into the mix. Oh, he
loves doing that. As though he
had something to do with
anything. Oh, no, he he's
Adam Curry: the one that
debunked COVID. He's deep. He
warned everybody for the VAX, he
did not know he did. All in he
was pro Vax. I know, he is very
I find
John C Dvorak: it. So I find
these annoying these clips, but
I have them. Because I think he
makes a couple of points. Maybe
you know, he's like maybe
touching the truth here, here
and there. And it's worth
listening to they're not that
long, he took the last one,
which is sort of the second one
was kind of long.
Unknown: But here we go. Even if
the thing had turned out to be
harmless, nobody could know that
it was so it wasn't safe. And
for them to assure us that it
was was alive from the get go.
That's what caused Heather and
me to start looking into it. And
the deeper we dug, the crazier
the story got not safe and
ineffective, in fact, harmful
and shockingly ineffective at
everything that you might want
it to be effective at. So the
story is a an odd one. The fact
that that small number of
dissidents, was able to up end
the narrative was able to bring
people's awareness to the
massive levels of harmony and
effectiveness of the shots is in
some ways, the most surprising
element of the story. And I
think it truly surprised pharma
and its partners in social media
and government and
nongovernmental organizations. I
think they thought that they
owned enough of the media that
they could sell us any narrative
that they wished. And I think
surprising as it is, they didn't
really understand that podcasts
could possibly be a
countervailing force of
significance.
Adam Curry: Wow, welcome to 20
years later, Brett. Has he
repented anywhere? He's you
said, hey, you know, I was
wrong. In the beginning. I was
wrong. No, no, he's just
walking. Waltzing. Right. I
mean, he will I would be okay.
If you said, you know, even I
thought in the beginning, well,
vaccines, you know, this well, a
John C Dvorak: lot of get a lot
of hot shots have done exactly
that. Yeah. And it's fine to do
that he for some reason. He's
kind of like one of those guys
who could never say he was
wrong. He would he's just one of
those professorial type that
just can't say he was wrong. In
fact, he goes just the opposite
and says, Well, you know, I was
probably right all along. Yeah,
exactly. So go podcasting. So he
goes on with a little more of a
elaborate Spiel here in this
clip, podcasts
Unknown: could possibly be the
best
Adam Curry: invention ever, a
countervailing force
Unknown: of significance. If you
own NBC News, that's enough. You
would say All righty, you know,
it's it's it's failing to update
from the buying by the barrel.
Totally aphorism. So what
happened?
John C Dvorak: Let's just stop,
stop. Yeah, I
Adam Curry: have to Yeah, go
ahead. I gotta say something
about you know
John C Dvorak: what the buying
by the barrel aphorism is? I
have no idea what that is. Yeah,
I figured the buying by the
barrel aphorism which I don't
even know if Tucker knows what
it means. But it's an old saying
that used to be. Don't be
talking about getting into a
beef with a publisher. Don't get
into an argument by someone who
buys ink by the barrel.
Adam Curry: Oh, interesting.
Thank you for that. That's good,
good knowledge. That's
John C Dvorak: an old journalism
aphorism. And so he just tosses
that out there in kind of
lackluster way. And I thought
immediately then no one's gonna
know what he's talking about
when he says so I felt obliged
to explain it. But the funny
thing is I started thinking
about that, the buying by the by
buying ink by the barrel,
because on the internet, there
is no ink. So we all have the
ability to buy ink by the barrel
now because it's all just well
Adam Curry: hold on a second.
You're, I mean, now you're
making a fallacy because people
believe that their phone is the
internet and that Facebook,
Twitter, Instagram, that's the
internet people have, we have an
entire generation who don't know
how to publish on the internet.
John C Dvorak: Other than well
taken. Now let's get back
tonight. And
Adam Curry: I would like to
point out that it was right at
the beginning of COVID that I
started because it's not
podcasts were owned by Apple.
Apple started throwing people
off around 2019 in like Stones
concert and consequent space
with Facebook and Twitter and
everyone's throwing these guys
off. That's when I started
podcasting to point. Oh, so
Brett Weinstein. The reason that
you will hear your podcast is
because if it wasn't for me, no,
that's right. That's Thank you.
Where's my Nobel Prize? Nobel
Peace Prize on casts
Unknown: could possibly be a
countervailing force of
significance. If you own NBC
News. It's enough, you would say
alright, if you know it's it's
failing to update from the
buying by the barrel. Totally
aphorism. So what happened was,
it turned out that a number of
us were willing to make mistakes
and correct them in real time to
talk about this in plain English
with Wow,
Adam Curry: a number of us us
truth seekers, we were we were
out there on the cutting edge.
John C Dvorak: Imagine, wow,
cool. Let me compare what he did
and how he did it to like Sherry
Tenpenny. And
Adam Curry: how about our show,
and within two weeks, we're at
the
John C Dvorak: absolute
beginning of the whole thing.
But I caught it early. And
Adam Curry: that's okay. Because
I don't need to be on Tucker
telling him how great we are. I
would I
Unknown: wouldn't do that
public. We just cared about
Adam Curry: our own people.
That's all we cared about and
Unknown: to do so you know, and
Joe Rogan's man cave, and NK The
fact is, people listened because
of course, this was on
everybody's mind and what they
were supposed to do to protect,
you know, they'd been terrified.
And what to do to protect your
family's health was a question
that everybody wants to know the
answer to. So our ability to
reach millions of people
surprise those who thought they
were just gonna shove this
narrative down our throats. And
this gets me to the the WHO, the
World Health Organization and
its pandemic preparedness plan
modifications. What I believe is
going on is the World Health
Organization is now revising the
structures that allowed the
dissidents to upend the
narrative. And they are looking
for a rematch, I think what they
want are the measures that would
have allowed them to silence the
podcasters to mandate various
things internationally in a way
that would prevent the emergence
of a control group that would
allow us to see harms clearly.
So that's the reason that I
think people as much as they
want to move on from thinking
about COVID. Maybe stop thinking
about COVID. But do start
thinking about what has taken
place with respect to medicine
with respect to public health,
with respect to pharma, and ask
yourself the question, given
what you now know, would you
want to meet live a pandemic
like the COVID pandemic? Without
the tools that allowed you to
ultimately in the end see
clearly that it didn't make
sense to take another one of the
shots or to have your kids take
your national treasure? Brett we
want those tools in fact we need
them and something is quietly
moving just out of sight in
order that we will not have
access to them the next time we
face a serious emergency.
Adam Curry: Wow, I'm so happy
you brought this clip bull crap.
I've fixed that. It's fixed. Oh,
John C Dvorak: that's the point.
This is one of the reasons for
the clip that it's not a bunch
of people but I'm just that you
may have been sensing this same
thing he's discussing that
actually happened after you
sensed it. And it would probably
took place during the the
weirdness well round Alex Jones
in particular cause exactly why
it was a concerted I mean, it
was a conspiracy.
Adam Curry: Literal, literal
conspiracy. They took off X 22
report that By the way,
John C Dvorak: they right, I
forgot all about x 22. Yeah. The
Spotify
Adam Curry: takes off at least
two shows a day. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: And but you know,
but now it's it's meaningless
with the podcasting. 2.0.
Correct. And I think yes, when I
just thought, what he his, the
way he sees it is pretty much
like a confirmation of what you
already did. Yeah. And I'm not,
I'm not here to do, you know,
just compliment Caesar. But
there, you know,
Adam Curry: but but I want to
say, there are hundreds,
literally hundreds of software
developers who have their own
day jobs. And they've been
working on this for the past
three and a half years. Amongst
other things for this very
reason. That's why they joined
up. It's like this is bullcrap
Apples to Apples taking stuff
down. It's not reliable. So we
had to create a new index. And
we're now in the process of
decentralizing it. So they can't
come and take it away.
John C Dvorak: There you go. So
let's go to part three, it's
almost
Unknown: impossible to
exaggerate how troubling what is
being discussed it. In fact, I
think it is fair to say that we
are in the middle of a coup,
that we are actually facing the
elimination of our national and
our personal sovereignty. And
that that is the purpose of what
is being constructed, that it
has been written in such a way
that your your eyes are supposed
to glaze over. It's right, as
you attempt to sort out, what is
it? What is under discussion.
And if you do that, then come
May of this year, your nation is
almost certain to sign on to an
agreement that in some utterly
vaguely described future
circumstance, a public health
emergency, which the Director
General of the World Health
Organization has total liberty
to define in any way that he
sees fit. In other words,
nothing prevents climate change
from being declared a public
health emergency that would
trigger the provisions of these
modifications. And in the case
that some emergency or some
pretense of an emergency shows
up the provisions that would
kick in are beyond genre.
Adam Curry: So I hope he
explained how it works because
we've covered it extensively.
It's the pandemic preparedness
treaty, the World Health
Organization he does it goes on
and on which was is already in
place and the thinking is that
they can update that without it
having to be ratified again
would like a EULA.
Unknown: Yeah, exactly.
Adam Curry: You like to
John C Dvorak: us. That's it.
That's what set this sort of
idea and place within the
document it says we can change
it. And so once you agree to
that, they just changed right
from under but pull the rug out
right from under yet.
Adam Curry: Now he has a point
about the climate change. I
don't think we played this clip
is from a couple shows ago. This
is Ted Ross, but knows all about
Dez.
Unknown: Our food systems are
harming the health of people and
planet. Food Systems contribute
to oversee 30% of greenhouse gas
emissions, and account for
almost 1/3 of the global burden
of disease, or reforming food
systems is therefore essential
by shifting towards healthier,
diversified and more plant based
diets. If food systems delivered
healthy diets for all, we could
save a bone in lives per year.
Nordic countries have been Trail
Blazers for many policy
breakthroughs, including for
linking climate and nutrition,
who is committed to supporting
countries to develop and
implement policies to improve
diets and fight climate change
last year, under the leadership
of the Egyptian cop, 27
presidency, who and our partners
launched icon, the Initiative on
Climate Action and nutrition.
The icon baseline report
currently shows low integration
of climate and nutrition in
policies in funding mechanisms,
and particularly in the private
sector. I'm therefore very
pleased that over 130 countries
have signed the coop 28 UAE
Declaration on climate and
health together, we can protect
and promote the health of both
people and planet. I thank you.
Adam Curry: So you already
nailed it. Stop eating beef. Go
eat your bugs. World Health
Organization biggest donor has
always been the Gates
Foundation. Here's Bill Gates
the back it up time You're
Unknown: in July. And of course
I flew in on my private jet.
Very, very important meeting.
The issue of you peasants eating
bugs will be discussed at length
that's never gotten the
attention it deserves the issue
of COVID-19 not killing off
enough poor people and my
vaccines not weeding out the
rest of you bastards, which is a
tragedy of course. We'll talk
about using killer robots next
cat absolutely solve that
problem.
John C Dvorak: This is okay, now
your ambition about AI now
you're using it for this show?
Well,
Adam Curry: this is the only
good use of AI Hello, I have
this only good use of AI.
John C Dvorak: Here's to follow
up on on the Tedros clip here is
David Icke.
Adam Curry: Ike Yes. Also on
podcasting 2.0. These days,
Unknown: the Netherlands, the
second biggest exporter of food
in the world is targeting
farmers to destroy them and get
them off the land, which is
where all these farming protests
in the Netherlands have come
from. At a time of food
shortages and supply chain
problems. You are targeting the
second biggest exporter of food
in the bloody world to destroy
its farming base.
Why are you doing that?
If people depend on you for
what's left of the food you
control with food is abundant
and cheap. You do not control
where energy is cheap and
abundant. You do not control
scarcity equals dependency
equals control. And that's why
they're targeting the food
chain. They're targeting energy
supply. They're targeting
everything.
Adam Curry: Yeah, and this flows
right into the big German
protests, which is now turning
into a strike a multicountry
strike. Here's how Deutsche
Avella characterize it just
their intro alone tells you that
the pay no attention
Unknown: please farmers across
Germany have begun a week long
strike to protest the
government's plans to cut
agricultural fuel subsidies.
Lawmakers have already rolled
back that decision after weeks
of angry demonstrations.
Protests planned for the next
seven days include rallies that
will disrupt traffic in several
regions. A procession of
tractors is expected to block
off a central road here in
Berlin as farmers bring their
frustrations to the government's
doorstep now okay,
Adam Curry: blah, blah, blah,
blah. Meanwhile, and I'll give
her this I was I've never been a
big fan but I'm starting to like
her more Eva flirting of Brooke.
She's the one that pops up
everywhere. She's the darling of
the ALT and alt right all the
alternative media and even right
this alternative media, I'll
give it to her she was out there
in the snow on on the big
highway talking to the farmers,
the truckers people waiting
behind. And
Unknown: I pulled the clip and
this is the most frequent
highway in Germany, the most
used highway, actually in
Europe, to be honest with you.
So wow, it's not it's not normal
to stand here. For now we are we
are sick of lies, we are sick of
trying to get rid of our jobs.
It's not a nice farmers. It's
the lorry drivers. It's the
normal workers, everybody is
sick of politicians who have no
idea what they're talking about
no education, to tell us how our
lifestyles should look like. And
this is the result for years
trying to get in contact with
politicians talking to them on
an equal level, but they won't
listen. And now we have no other
choice than to demonstrate. And
it's our right. Yes. One of the
highest rights, especially in
Germany. Yeah. Demonstrating. We
are not violent, or friendly.
You can see we have a we have a
small gap. And people can drive
to these ambulances. Everybody
can come through. But this is
only this is only the tip of the
tip of the iceberg to be honest.
Because all over Germany we have
this is the west with Dutch
farmers coming over to support
Yes. And we have Hungarian
Thomas, Polish farmers, and we
are all united in getting rid of
politicians who are trying to
get rid of us. I'll give
Adam Curry: it to Brett
Weinstein there indeed. You'll
only hear this on podcast and
the polish of the show. It's not
just the farmers now it's the
truckers, bakers and they're
sick of it. And of course we
have the the rise of more
conservative politicians. The
Netherlands just had feared
builders and immediately the
media brands that is far right
you're far right in Germany. Now
we got to take it even further.
We can have the alternative for
Deutschland if de we can't have
those guys starting to take over
our
Unknown: far right Alternative
for Germany has been surging in
pre election polls, writing The
wave of anti immigrant
sentiment. Officially, the party
calls for faster deportations of
declined asylum seekers and
illegal immigrants. But this
week investigative media
organization corrective
published hidden camera footage
showing the AfD might be
considering forcing out citizens
as well. In November AFD,
leaders secretly met in hotel
with donors and members of neo
Nazi movements to discuss what
they call free migration. It
involves a large scale
deportation project targeting
German residents of foreign
origin deemed insufficiently
assimilated, even if they have
citizenship. Yet Texas does.
This shows that even high
ranking AFD politicians have
expressed radical right wing
positions in a closed room home
these are things they would
never say publicly, you know,
keeping bulletin AFD
said Wednesday that re migration
would not become part of its
official platform. Nonetheless,
the Party remains fiercely
opposed to immigration, even as
the German economy minister has
called for increased immigration
to solve a shortage of workers.
The AFD faces risks for its far
right stances. The party is
under investigation in several
states and at risk of being
declared extremist which would
exclude it from elections.
Adam Curry: Does your Nazis your
Nazis go away? You can't be in
the election. You're Nazis. Do
you want to deport people I'm
sorry, re emigrate, whatever
that means. Yeah, so the media
is not good for your health
people. I really isn't. They do
not care about you are
themselves too dumb. Only the
dumbest people get into these
jobs. Now it seems.
John C Dvorak: And even discuss
that.
Adam Curry: Can I go back to to
AI for one second?
John C Dvorak: A Yeah. Yeah. I
have one. I have a one off clip
that I could drop in here. All
right, but it would change the
subject.
Adam Curry: Let me just do the
AI real quick. Yeah. Because the
big consumer electronics show is
taking place in Vegas, which of
course yeah, AI is the theme
this year. It is the theme.
Yeah. Now, back in the day. Back
in the day. You were you're kind
of like a hero at CES was Yeah.
Oh, yeah. You're writing
theories
John C Dvorak: priorities. I'd
have to divorce you get there
shortly.
Adam Curry: You did the chili
cook off. That was the Comdex I
was at Comdex. Oh, but see, but
everyone would wait for your
beer snark to come out of
sickness people love.
Unknown: Those days are over.
Adam Curry: What do you mean?
What do you do twice a week
here? Yeah,
John C Dvorak: well, never
Different. Different audience.
Adam Curry: I mean, people fawn
over you, you know, going to the
back of PC Magazine as they do
over me at headbangers ball. I'm
telling you that hard to fork. I
love that guy. Boy, he's not
dead. He's still here. I love
that guy. So what is what are
the there's a couple things that
we have always called bull crap
on. Bull crap. What am I
hearing? Is that you? I'm
hearing some kind of hum nothing
is coming from you.
John C Dvorak: What are you
buzz? Yeah.
Adam Curry: Uh hum. Like,
periodic homes. Like, are you
leaning on something? Yeah. So
micro payments, like all that.
micro payments can do micro
payments and make them well
actually, podcasting. 2.0 has
micro payments, but we'll leave
that aside. The other thing is
the smart refrigerator. Oh,
yeah, it's back. ponents like,
Is that done? Are you back is
back with with a frenzy? Yes.
And, and now that this so
whenever I hear this, I know
that this whole thing is
bullcrap. The whole CES is
filled with the stupid they got
monitors with AI heads talking.
They've got robots that are
serving drinks. Really, this
literally
John C Dvorak: happened to the
talking cat that was had a
YouTube channel. That was some
good AI. That was good stuff.
Adam Curry: So here it is.
Finally, it's here.
Unknown: We've all heard the
scary predictions that
artificial intelligence could
spell the end of humanity but AI
is already here or soon will be
in places as common as a living
room or the kitchen. This high
tech refrigerator is powered by
AI and it also has eyes.
The fridge sees I just put in a
tomato. A built
in camera allows it to see food
that's put in and taken out and
it uses that information to give
out suggestions. Don't give up
for a while do
so the fridge will be able to
say you've got these items, you
should try this recipe. Or if
you have this food item that
expires in two days, you should
use it. So AI allows the fridge
to keep track of its contents in
an environmentally responsible
way.
So artificial intelligence is
everywhere at this year. See,
the huge popularity of chat GPT
has helped make it inescapable
AI will soon be in our cars to
this French startup has
attracted several major
automakers by creating an
augmented reality dashboard,
along with a virtual co pilots.
That's
what sets AI apart is that it
will remember your requests and
answers over time. You better
conversations tend to be more
intuitive. That sounds fancy,
and it's more effective than
looking at a screen and pressing
on it.
Adam Curry: Oh, it's more
effective than pressing a
button. Is this really this is
really what what this revolution
is about? I'm sorry, they've
gotten nothing. We've been
hearing about this. I mean, to
me, this whole thing sounded
like Mac world when the Newton
came out. I was there. I was one
of those dopes.
Unknown: Oh yeah.
Adam Curry: He does. Handwriting
recognition. Kind of let me
squirt over my address my my
contact card to you. Well,
John C Dvorak: I forgot about
squirting squirt. score was the
word. Yes. Squirting rose.
Adam Curry: I wonder if I hope I
still have my Newton somewhere.
John C Dvorak: Oh, you probably
do your auction item is I've
ever got one I don't think ever
had to
Adam Curry: I had the original
which I went to Boston to go get
I was so excited. And then by
the time I'm on the plane home
like this thing kind of sucks.
Doesn't really, you know, it's
like, oh no connect to a modem.
Have you ever tried to do your
password writing on the Newton?
Trust me? Impossible. The whole
thing is just this is nothing.
That's all they had. They didn't
have anything interesting. I
looked at all the reports
nothing interesting. Nothing.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I saw that
report about the refrigerator
cracked up. Yeah, you know, I
don't want a refrigerator. Why?
What is the refrigerator didn't
even know how to cook, let alone
offer me recipe suggest a avid
tomato. Why don't you do this?
screw yourself. I bought that
tomato for a reason not to get
he listened to your guff?
Adam Curry: Yeah, it means you
just go willy nilly and just oh,
I just need some tomatoes. I
hope my fridge can help me out
what to do with them. I got no
idea.
John C Dvorak: So I have a very
short clip about the Alaska
airline thing. Yes, it was
pointed out to me by Mimi. Yeah,
I
Adam Curry: was wrong. I was
wrong. I'm well, I'm happy to
say it. But I do have questions
about this. Well, you're wrong.
What do you mean, you're wrong
about less seats versus more
seats? Oh,
John C Dvorak: yeah, no, you're
right. We have just the
opposite. But I haven't we do
have a note from a guy that I
could bring it up everyone. We
have a note from a guy and it
was the idea was to have more
leg room. It
Adam Curry: was just a no, no,
no, no, hold on. I said this, is
this what he said? I know, but
this is where I disagree. You
need to have one emergency exit
every 50 passengers every 50
seats. Right. So the reason they
didn't have that is because
there were less seats.
John C Dvorak: Right. But the
reason for less seats was to
give people more legroom
Adam Curry: upfront maybe if all
seats count not just the seats
in the back. I think it's for
the first or business class
believe me no airline in their
right mind is saying oh I want
to give people more or less
John C Dvorak: I'm not going to
argue that okay, I'm just saying
this kind of what he implied but
a lot of that's not what this
clips about. Okay. This clip is
about something what was the now
this plane took off? Do you
remember? It took off? How long
was it in the air before this
thing blew out? I was
Adam Curry: at 16,000 feet so I
don't know probably 20 minutes
and 1520 minutes and they
John C Dvorak: flew right back?
Yeah, they turned around
immediately flew back which I
understand was 18 minutes to get
back. Now that makes sense. So
tell me how it works with this
particular report. This is the
Alaska Air BS. AC
Unknown: this morning the door
plug that flew off and Alaska
Airlines flight in midair
leaving this gaping hole behind
now found after a three day
search the NTSB locating it in
the backyard of a Portland
school teacher. The discovery
coming as authorities revealed
no data can be pulled from the
cockpit voice recorder because
it was completely
overwritten
at two hours it writes it
rerecord so for it so we have
nothing from the CVR
Adam Curry: That's correct.
John C Dvorak: It wasn't in
flight for two hours. Oh 20
minutes up 80 minutes back.
Where's the two hours? Very
Adam Curry: well met? Yeah.
Yeah, someone someone messed up
there.
John C Dvorak: This is a cover
up. Oh, Well, I'm hearing maybe
the cover up you may have
suggested, which is a pilot
error. Well,
Adam Curry: so here I'm getting
more information and, and I'm
just, this is all information
I'm getting from people who are
aviators and I trust them. Some
people will I mean, I'm getting
emails like you're discrediting
the show from the pilot. Yes,
okay. Same guy. No, this is
different guy cuz like him
because No, no, actually, that
guy ended with Hey, man, I saw
you on Rogen, with your you
witness to God that God bless.
First he yells at me. It appears
that this is, so when it comes
to the pressurization. There's
two systems at pressurization is
automatic, but there was a
failure notice. And then there
was a second failure when they
switched to the second system,
which would kind of be Hey, can
you breathe? I can breathe.
Yeah, I can be this fine. You
feel okay. Yeah. Because you
know, you've been talking about
hypoxia. And they were 16,000
feet. So at 16,000 feet, you're
you have ample time to do
something. You're not out of
oxygen at 16,000 feet. It starts
to get a little wonky after a
while. But it appears that these
bolts that day, were either not
properly installed after
maintenance, or from the factory
for the door plug and that the
door is probably leaking. And
that's where the warnings came
from. So there was all kinds of
issues. But what I'm hearing now
from Air Force, and naval airman
is they're all They're all given
up on Boeing, they're all
training on Airbus, because they
want careers after you know,
after their service. They want
to be on air buses. There is a
huge distrust of Boeing in the
aviation community. And we've
always talked about it could be
sabotage for all you know, we've
always talked about Airbus
versus Boeing. And Boeing has
had a couple of problems
John C Dvorak: well now their
inspectors are going out and
finding loose bolts are loose
bolts Yeah. How does that
happen? There's no quality
control control at bowling makes
no or is it sabotage? Because
you we this is revisiting
something from listeners years
and years and producer this was
get over a decade ago that you
brought forth for this thesis
because we got we started to see
planes dropping from the sky
look first at Boeing and then an
Airbus Yeah.
Adam Curry: That's right. It
would be one for one we'd be
keeping score.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, if there is
if it was like okay, you It's
like watching the mob. You
killed Billy you know, was so
you know, Denise gotta go. So it
was like that.
Unknown: Yeah. Well, then
there's this story and for
anyone who ever dropped their
iPhone and had a crack, a head
scratcher tonight, Sean Bates
from Oregon out walking, he
found one of the iPhones sucked
from that plane at 16,000 feet.
He called the NTSB, the screen
was not cracked. In fact, it had
a message about the passengers
baggage. Incredible.
Adam Curry: Incredible is right.
Come on.
John C Dvorak: Okay, I believe
it's possible,
Adam Curry: though. I believe
it's possible, but why not get
the person whose iPhone it is if
it's unlocked, you can see who
it belongs to get that person.
This is the same as where's the
shirt got ripped off his body?
Yeah, who
John C Dvorak: was where's that?
Yeah, that bothers me too. That
they don't do the although
they're so lazy. They find an
iPhone like the guy who loves
you get a hold of it. Yeah, it's
too much work.
Adam Curry: And who knows all of
this could be Bull. I mean, I
love how calm everybody was with
a big gaping hole. That was
pretty amazing. That was a very
very calm cabin
John C Dvorak: was like hey, you
seem to be some at least one or
two people shrieking we don't
have any
Adam Curry: any of that. And
supposedly, this was another
weird one. The decompression
event was so so severe that the
cockpit door blew open that's
not supposed to happen
John C Dvorak: that's yes that's
right that was reported
Adam Curry: reinforced you know
so so people with box cutters
can't get through oh boy we're
getting real deep now all and we
can't trust anything because
because it's so the reporting is
so poor all will be revealed
this year this is the year the
big reveal. I'm telling you it's
all going to happen all this is
going to happen
Unknown: yeah
John C Dvorak: I got some I got
this report the Epstein last
Doc's.
Adam Curry: Oh goodness. Another
distraction of the week. The
newest one. No, yeah, I'm all in
Unknown: the newest batch of
unsealed Jeffrey Epstein.
documents released Tuesday show
the hike Cost allegedly paid for
sex with a teenager, Virginia
Giuffre an Epstein accuser said
Epstein paid her $15,000 to have
sex with Britain's Prince Andrew
in 2011. Bomb she says she was
17. At the time Prince Andrew
has repeatedly denied they had
sex. He has also denied that he
ever met her, the 1482 pages
released or the last set to be
made public. They include
several depositions from Glenn
Maxwell one from Epstein, one
from jus Frey, and another from
Sara ransom and alleged adult
victim of Epstein. The records
are part of a defamation lawsuit
brought by Giuffre against
Maxwell Epstein's longtime
companion. The case settled in
2017. Included in the heavily
redacted documents or
allegations do Frey was directed
to have sex with other high
profile men, such as Glenn
Dubin, a billionaire hedge fund
manager, and billionaire retail
magnate les Wexner. Both men
have denied you phrase claims
former President Trump was also
identified in the depositions.
fray said she met the former
president but didn't see him
doing anything improper. But
ransom claimed in 2016 emails to
a New York Post columnist that
Trump was involved in Epstein
sex trafficking, she later
retracted the claim in a follow
up email.
Adam Curry: The world is in so
much peril in so many ways, but
yet this is what occupies
everybody yet.
John C Dvorak: Well, the better
part of this is what Jim
Gaffigan said at the at the
globes. Oh, hold on a second. So
Gaffigan goes up to give some
awards out. And and this is what
he said.
Adam Curry: I can't even believe
I'm in the entertainment
industry. I can't I you know,
it's so unlikely I'm from a
small town in Indiana. I'm not a
pedophile. You know, I just I
don't know if that's a new
category here
John C Dvorak: but
Adam Curry: we decided we were
not going to watch that. I just
really didn't want to watch it.
I just didn't know I missed
that. That's pretty funny. He's
doing a Ricky Gervais there it's
pretty a
John C Dvorak: pull one off he
got written got away with it.
There was some bells that
there's somebody also was up
there insulting Taylor Swift on
there. That was
Adam Curry: the host
John C Dvorak: was terrible. I
mean, did you watch
Adam Curry: it? You watch the
golden you watch the Golden
Globes?
John C Dvorak: I watch all these
worship do what I did is I had
it taped.
Adam Curry: Okay, so you sped
through all the boring was any
hurt?
John C Dvorak: And I heard about
the Gaffigan thing. So I went
and got that. And then the rest
of it. I talked to some people
who watch the old thing and they
told me what to look for. Was it
an African thing was the main
thing was anything
Adam Curry: else was any good?
No. With any with any movies
that we had heard of? That's the
main thing. Yeah. Oppenheimer
John C Dvorak: won most of the
awards. And then Barbie won a
couple. Yeah. And then there's a
couple other things and most of
the same old, same old girl
sitting there in the audience.
And, you know, yeah, meanwhile,
it wasn't that it wasn't really
that much of a killer event.
Adam Curry: Now, no one cares
anymore. The entertainment
business in the mainstream, I
think is dead. I don't even know
why Taylor Swift goes to that
why she going? She
John C Dvorak: got suckered into
going because they created a
whole new category for her Eros
movie
Adam Curry: that she wanted to
get her to go Did she win? I
John C Dvorak: don't know to be
honest about it. But whatever
the case is, I look at these
things and say what these guys
are shooting themselves in the
foot because for example, the
Emmys give out more of the
awards, go to cabled shows. Now
they don't broadcast TV is given
the short, the short end of the
of the whatever short stick the
stick. They're given the short
end of the stick, and they give
everything to one cable have
their own awards. Cable, I don't
get why they're doing that they
shouldn't be on broadcast TV.
They should be promoting
broadcast TV with awards. But
isn't it?
Adam Curry: Streamers as well
podcast,
John C Dvorak: for example, the
Podcast Awards are being given
to people who are just
repurposing old PBS shows that
they shouldn't get any awards
for that. That's why we should
do podcasting awards and do it
right the
Adam Curry: sort of the podcast
Hall of Fame awards or induct
induction ceremony is taking
place in a couple of weeks in
Florida at pod fest. Pod fest
pod fest. Yes. And our buddy
Michael Butler being inducted
into the Hall of Fame and
rightly so I think rightly so.
John C Dvorak: Did he ask me
he's been doing that show
forever. He
Adam Curry: asked you to induct
him. No, no, he asked me and I
declined. So I'm not gonna
John C Dvorak: know he didn't
ask me anything. I figured he
thinks I'm a schmuck. I guess
you know, he
Adam Curry: loves you. What are
you talking about? Really good.
It
John C Dvorak: asked me I would
have done it.
Adam Curry: Will you go to
Florida? No. Yeah.
Unknown: Please. And meanwhile,
the firmament still
impenetrable. The first US
mission to land in the moon in
more than 50 years is tonight,
just hours after this morning's
launch Astrobotic technology
five ad company behind the
mission, said the unmanned
spacecraft developed a critical
fuel leak, the issue could
prevent the Peregrine lander
from touching down February 23.
As planned, it's not going to
John C Dvorak: make it of
course, it's going to crash
land. Yeah. Yeah, whatever they
do is they catch but there's
nobody in it. So it could be
launched. Well,
Adam Curry: there's DNA, you
know, some company who does a
burial on the moon for you so
they had ashes and DNA of former
presidents. He's gonna get
buried deep. It's not gonna
crash into the moon.
John C Dvorak: You don't think
it's even on his way? Launched?
They can't
Adam Curry: get past the
firmament No way. And now, on
the heels. On the heels of that,
on the heels of that
Unknown: a commercial robotic
mission to the moon will not
make it to the lunar surface. As
NPRs Jeff Brumfield reports, the
probe has suffered a critical
failure.
The small probe was launched on
Monday by the company Astrobotic
shortly after reaching space it
ran into trouble. The company
quickly realized that the
spacecraft propulsion system had
sprung a leak causing it to
tumble. They've regained
control, they've continued to
lose propellant. They now say
they only have enough fuel to
operate for about another day
and a half Bob the mission was
the first of a series of NASA
backed commercial flights to the
moon. NASA hopes that these
companies will one day ferry
equipment and experiments to
astronauts on the lunar surface.
Separately, the space agency
announced it is pushing back its
first mission to send astronauts
to orbit the moon since the
Apollo program. It will be
delayed until 2025 Jeff
Brumfield and PR news blow your
nose
John C Dvorak: or something or
stop using what are you using so
Adam Curry: everything's
failing? And then Elon rockets
blow up Oh, that's a success.
I'm sorry. It's considered a
success. We can't do it 50 years
ago we walked on the moon
John C Dvorak: I'm sorry to
round hit a golf ball again.
Adam Curry: The golf ball we got
about that. Driving around in
the in the in the lunar rover
what was that? What is it called
was called the rover the rover?
Yeah, driving around and like a
dune buggy. Hey, bouncing on the
moon. It was great. Not a
problem. Now the richest guys in
the world can't make it happen.
The season of reveal is upon us.
Bear everything will
everything's going to come out.
And quantum computing is going
to be the next big thing. I know
that you are now starting to see
what I'm seeing. No,
John C Dvorak: I mean, I saw
something but I'm still not into
the I'm not all in because it's
such a laughable technologies.
Let's do a three by three. Oh,
that's
Adam Curry: a good idea. Now
it's time for a three by three.
Oh yeah, baby experiment five.
JC is a big experiment Parents
TV from ABC. John has three
clips from the big networks,
ABC, NBC, CBS and we're going to
compare them do they come from
one talking point? Are they from
the White House? Is there
collusion? Or is it just dumb?
Dumb journalism?
John C Dvorak: As we pointed out
in the not just last newsletter,
but the one before they we have
a producer that is an X major,
major, medium work news director
and retired. Yes.
Adam Curry: And told us that
basically they get all the stuff
from one main. Same name Joker,
same source, the same clips,
they get it just here's your
tape go put it together, put
your own guy or gal in there
good
John C Dvorak: to go. Yes. And
that's what we're seeing with
these clips.
Adam Curry: What is the topic
for today?
John C Dvorak: What about the
judges at Trump federal judge
story that don't reveal itself
with the ABC clip
Unknown: today Donald Trump
looking on in court as his
attorney tried to convince a
skeptical panel of judges that
the foreign president should
have complete immunity from
prosecution for trying to
overturn the election he at
last. This was the central
argument from Trump's lawyers
to authorize the prosecution of
a president for his official
acts would open a Pandora's Box
from which this nation may never
recover. Never
judge Florence pan immediately
challenging that argument.
Could a president sell pardons
or sell military secrets? Those
are official acts right. It's an
official act to grant a pardon.
It's an official act to
communicate with a foreign
government. You Trump's
attorney claiming a president
must be impeached and convicted
by Congress before he can be
charged with a crime. And
a president ordered SEAL Team
Six to assassinate a political
rival. That's an official act in
order to seal team since
he would have to be in what
speedily be impeached and
convicted before the criminal
prosecution
judge pan pressing again, could
a president who ordered SEAL
team sets to assassinate a
political rival was not
impeached he'd be subject to
criminal prosecution if
he were impeached and convicted
first. And
so your answer is
Special Counsel, Prosecutor
pounced.
What kind of world are we living
in? If, as I understand my
friend on the other side to say
here, a president orders his
SEAL team to assassinate a
political rival, designed, for
example, before an impeachment,
not a criminal act, President
sells a pardon, resigns or is
not impeached, not a cry. I
think that is extraordinarily
frightening future
come sat there emotionless,
often taking notes and passing
them to his attorneys. He did
not appear to make eye contact
with special counsel Jack Smith,
who was also in court. But he
nodded emphatically at times.
And when it was all over the
address reporters,
the President has to have
immunity. And the other thing is
I did nothing wrong. We did
nothing wrong.
Adam Curry: You know, the sad
thing is toll our toll our sends
me. I rarely use them. Because
sometimes just not showing us
all but he sends me the C span
clips. And there's definitely
people in our country. who are
who are saved by this who now
think Trump might use SEAL Team
Six to kill his rivals.
John C Dvorak: I love that one.
Adam Curry: I mean, who could
How do you even come up with
this theory? Oh, sealed. Seal
Team Six. You don't need to have
the, you know, the Chinook go
down to assassinate someone was
SEAL Team Six.
John C Dvorak: So it's crazy.
What's interesting is I'm
surprised nobody brought up the
fact that Obama had authorized
the killing of two American
citizens. Yeah, dad and his and
his son, dad and his son. And
then it also, I think there was
another guy killed in the
process. It was not. And if
Trump was found guilty of any of
this stuff, I don't see why some
Republican gag get in office and
then find Obama guilty of
premeditated murder.
Adam Curry: I should have also
mentioned that, you know, Obama
killed SEAL Team Six. We all
know that. Yeah. And there's
also that that minor minor boy
who was
John C Dvorak: let's go to him.
Same report, NBC. Tonight,
Unknown: a ruling expected
anytime from the federal appeals
court, which appeared deeply
skeptical today of Donald
Trump's efforts to derail the
case about his attempts to
overturn the 2020 election. I
did nothing wrong. Absolutely
nothing. Well, as a president,
you have to have immunity. So
Adam Curry: they reverse the
report and put the ending at the
beginning. Yeah, okay. All
right. Nothing. Well, I
Unknown: feel that as a
president, you have to have
immunity.
The Republican front runner
watching on in court, his his
lawyer, John Sauer urged the
three judge panel to break new
legal ground and find the former
president immune from
prosecution emphasizing
everything he's been charged for
took place when he was still in
the White House. We
have the prosecution of the
chief political opponent who is
winning in that report and is
being prosecuted by the
administration that he's seeking
to replace
while the Justice Department
argues nothing in the
Constitution supports shielding
Mr. Trump from prosecution now,
never before has there been
allegations that a sitting
president has with private
individuals and using the levers
of power such to fundamentally
subvert the Democratic Republic
and the electoral system. It
would be awfully scary if there
weren't some sort of mechanism
by which to reach that.
criminally judge Florence pan a
Biden appointee posing Stark
hypotheticals on what a future
president could do if Mr.
Trump's view prevailed. Could
a president ordered SEAL Team
Six to assassinate a political
rival? The
answer in sours view? Yes. So
long as the president was
impeached and convicted first
spending much of his argument on
the Senate acquitting Mr. Trump
at his 2021 impeachment trial, a
position DOJ cast as
frightening. What kind
of world are we living in? The
President has the constitutional
roll, but he is not above the
law. Yeah,
Adam Curry: that same clips they
just reversed the order. It's
pretty good. I think. Honestly,
from a editing standpoint. I
think it was good to bring in
the Trump thing first, get that
out of the way and not leave it
last. But the ABC I liked the
SEAL Team Six at the beginning
better I think that would have
kept people watching if I was to
edit this.
John C Dvorak: Well, they did
definitely scrambled these with
this exact Same clips just
scrambled. Let's go to CBS which
I still maintain, does the best
job of, of, I'd say creating a
dramatic
Unknown: moment. After arriving
in a motorcade through the rain
Donald Trump sat in the front
row as his attorney argued the
2020 election conspiracy
criminal case against the former
president must be dismissed to
authorize the prosecution of a
president for his official acts
would open a Pandora's Box from
which this nation may never
recover. A
trial judge rejected his claim
of presidential immunity last
year saying the former president
doesn't enjoy a Get Out of Jail
Free card, which the prosecutor
echoed today.
The President has a unique
constitutional role, but he is
not above the law.
The appeals court appeared
skeptical too, with one judge
calling it paradoxical for a
president to swear an oath to
uphold the law yet be allowed to
violate the law. Judge Florence
pan posed a pointed hypothetical
that Trump's attorney could
a president who ordered SEAL
team sets to assassinate a
political rival who was not
impeached he be subject to
criminal prosecution
if he were impeached and
convicted first, the
judges also pressed Trump's
attorney when he acknowledged
the former president could be
charged if he had been convicted
by the Senate and his 2021
impeachment.
If Donald Trump could have been
impeached and convicted and
therefore could be prosecuted,
then how can they argue immunity
at the same time? It's a
contradiction
that he claimed he was forced
from the campaign trail by the
case Trump appeared in court
voluntarily and addressed
cameras at his former DC hotel
after they
feel that as a president, you
have to have immunity. Very
simple. Same
Adam Curry: clip is all the
same. So all the same. You know,
that also
John C Dvorak: brings up I would
reiterate my comment about why
has Obama not been indicted for
murder? Who cares? I do I don't
want to murdering people.
Adam Curry: No, I understand
that. But we That's That's old
shows. Here's here's the
mistake. They're all making the
media in particular, if the
creative or AI Consulting Group,
if they could afford us if they
could hire us. We would say
they're using the wrong words.
They keep saying Donald Trump
tried to overturn overturn
overturn the word they want is
overthrow they're making a
mistake here overturn is a legal
process. If it was violent, they
should use the word overthrow.
The first one to do that is
smart, because it's just but
John C Dvorak: it fits into the
what their real narrative is. I
agree with you, that would be a
much better use of the much
better term to use if we were
doing political consulting.
That's what we advise.
Adam Curry: Do we know what
we're doing? Well meanwhile,
this is the drivel that your M
five M shovels down your throat
all day long. An
Unknown: investigation is
underway in Colorado following
reports that Republican
congresswoman Lauren bowburn got
into a physical fight with her
ex husband at a restaurant A
source tells The Daily Beast
that Jason Bovard called police
claiming he was the victim of
domestic violence. Police
confirmed the investigation last
night. A statement from Lauren
bellbirds campaign said she did
not punch her ex in the face and
no one was arrested. So
Adam Curry: so, you know, I
John C Dvorak: believe this is
all true. But this up seems like
the type No, I mean, I don't
want to generalize, but she does
seem like the type
Adam Curry: and I think reports
are out today. That didn't
happen.
John C Dvorak: That's the type.
Adam Curry: Why is this news?
Who cares? Who
John C Dvorak: cares? Just
gossip. It's T m z?
Adam Curry: Yes. That will
that's what it's become. Now.
What should happen? Is this I
mean, I'd love to see this
happen in American television
studios.
Unknown: Tonight. This is the
chilling moment armed men
stormed the set of a public TV
channel in Ecuador firing off
guns and waving apparent
explosives during a live
broadcast. The studio crew taken
hostage for at least 15 minutes
on air as the country watched.
Police leader surrounding the
station arresting several
suspects. And across Ecuador
fiery blast rocking multiple
cities this one engulfing a
police car. The wave of violence
beginning just hours after
Ecuador's president declared a
state of emergency following a
prison escape by notorious most
tornadoes gang leader Udolpho
Macias the government battling
with what they say or at least
22 Different criminal groups
angered by that state of
emergency. Tonight authorities
say at least seven police
officers have been kidnapped
Ecuador once known as one of
South America's most peaceful
countries seeing an explosion in
recent years of organized crime
related violence linked to
Mexican drug cartels. And David
that state of emergency They
will remain in place for at
least 60 days which gives the
country's military the right to
enter some of the prisons.
They're criminals inside of
which responsible for so much of
the violence we've seen
recently.
Adam Curry: The footage was
really interesting to the so
this gang breaks in and they
shoot a couple shots in the air.
And they all got hoodies on
there all the throwing gang
signs and the audio guy is out
there miking him. He's like,
Hold on hold. Let me Mike. Yep,
I want to get I want to get it.
All right, is putting on he's
putting the Lavalier on.
John C Dvorak: That's great. Now
I have the same Ecuador report,
but it's kind of slanted
differently. It's pretty much
the same, but it's also put it
at this and TD so to be
different in
Adam Curry: the context. This
Unknown: is in the D Ecuador's
president says the country is at
war as drug gangs hold more than
130 prison staff hostage. Police
have made at least dozens of
arrests and confiscated weapons,
Molotov cocktails and
ammunition. So
we are practically living in a
state of war against terrorism.
These are not organized crime
groups. They are terrorists who
are financed by drug
trafficking, trafficking in
people, organs and arms.
On Tuesday, armed gangs
unleashed a wave of violence
around a nation and the worst of
these incidents. Gunmen with
explosives stormed a TV station
on air. Police arrested the men.
The violence prompted President
and on a boy to name at 22 gangs
as terrorist organizations to be
hunted by the military. The
violence began after a major
gang leader apparently escaped
from prison over the weekend.
Ecuador is planning new high
security prisons for gang
leaders. The President plans to
release two of the designs
tomorrow. He also plans to begin
to deport foreign prisoners to
reduce prison populations. The
Biden administration is
monitoring the situation Oh,
Adam Curry: send them here. Send
them up north.
John C Dvorak: That's about
right. But wow, when did when
did Ecuador go from becoming the
Darling country of John Perkins?
The economic hitman Guy Yeah.
And and a potential landing
point for Julian Assange or
Snowden whoever would know
Snowden I guess, to this this
what changed?
Adam Curry: I don't know. But
right next door El Salvador they
they got rid of all of that.
It's now become less.
John C Dvorak: Salvador is
nowhere near Ecuador. I thought
it was near Ecuador. No, El
Salvador is in Central America.
Whereas Ecuador. It's in South
America.
Adam Curry: They're not they're
not neighbors know.
John C Dvorak: Well, that's
bigger doors on the west coast
of central of South America near
Adam Curry: Peru. Alright, well,
people, you don't have to send
me emails about how stupid I am.
Okay. It's next to Honduras and
Guatemala as well as thinking of
Guatemala. Another fine country.
So I got that poster of me from
the American Library
Association. Yeah, sure.
Anonymous librarian. So kindly
sent.
John C Dvorak: It's great. Yeah,
Adam Curry: it's very nice. And
Enzo from that, somehow, we were
talking about Little House on
the Prairie. I don't know why.
Well, I don't remember exactly
why either. But first of all,
there's a huge Little House on
the Prairie community. There's a
podcast called the Walnut Grove
cast. Oh, yeah. None of that.
But here's what she she said
Little House on the Prairie.
They had a there was an award.
The Wilder metal was stripped.
Her name was stripped off of the
award in 2018 because of racism
in our books.
John C Dvorak: Oh, please.
Adam Curry: Isn't How about that
as
John C Dvorak: the Mark Twain
award for humor going to be
kicked off and change to
something else? Oh,
Adam Curry: you know what?
That's a good idea.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, it's about
time. Time. We need to get ready
to accept the award must be a
racist. Yep. Yep. Yep. Clearly.
Adam Curry: I had interesting
continuing advertising war going
on between the pharmaceutical
companies. I'd like to play
these two. As you know, Eli
Lilly has decided for their
death bound, I'm sorry, zip
bound a product that they will
go direct to consumer. I think
they even purchased a telehealth
outfit to do this. I'm not sure.
But it doesn't really matter
because telehealth is, I mean,
we saw this the rise of
telehealth during COVID and all
you need is just for some dude
to say you know some doctor
dude, I think can just be a
provider. under whatever you can
be an RN, or you can just say
yeah, yeah, looks like you just
go through a couple of questions
online, and then they say will
prescribe it to you. So, NBC had
the pro Eli Lilly ad, which is
couched as a new
Unknown: story, both ozempic and
Manjaro are drugs for treating
diabetes but also used off label
for weight loss would go V and
zap bound are now the approved
versions up to two drugs.
Adam Curry: There you go.
There's a discrediting of the
competitor that oh, they're
they're off label that you don't
want to use the most popular
drug everyone in the categories
known as ozempic. Yeah, this off
label, you really want to have
the approval address bound Do
you want deskbound approved
Unknown: to drugs specifically
intended for fighting obesity.
But as Lynn discovered securing
a prescription for any of these
drugs can be a challenge. Eli
Lilly CEO Dave Rick says his
company is now trying to change
that.
I think a lot of people think of
obesity as an issue of
willpower. It's not you know,
40% of adult Americans have
excess weight or obesity. That's
a big number. From here you can
the
pharmaceutical giant today
launching Lilly direct a website
where patients can find a doctor
in person or via telehealth who
can if appropriate, prescribe
certain medicines among them set
bound, which can then ship
directly to the patient's door.
Obviously there going to be
questions from people about
safety about oversight. Can you
explain the role of physicians
and just health care
professionals and this is a
critical
part of how the site works. And
these drugs need to be used
under the supervision of a
physician. And we're just
offering more choice in that
regard.
Are these independent
physicians, will they get any
kind of incentives for
prescribing southbound or your
drugs? How does that
relationship look?
Yeah, key question. There is no
relate financial relationship
between us and the physicians or
the online telehealth platforms.
In clinical trials patients
taking that mound lost 21% of
their body weight approved by
the FDA in November Wall Street
analysts expected to bring in
billions of dollars in sales
this year. All
Adam Curry: right. So we need to
combat this. As Novo Nordisk we
can't have this these guys a
weaseling. In we pioneered this.
This is bigger than the whole.
Yes. So if the curry Devorah
Consulting Group, we're asked to
have a counter campaign and with
focus on television and we need
some online components. What do
you think the
John C Dvorak: we should do?
Find someone who died from the
other product?
Adam Curry: Well, that would be
great, but we don't want to
discredit the whole sector. We
want to make people afraid of
online online. Oh, if that
that's a good strategy. Yeah.
And I am telling you, why don't
we get Sharon Osbourne because
she had such success with our
product. Let's have her do a
slick slickly edited and
produced mini show where she can
discredit everything that's
comes from online and just make
sure you use ozempic which is
sheet which she use and look at
her she's a skinny as a rail.
Unknown: With so many people
turn into ozempic for weight
loss. It's Danish Manufacturer
launched we go V A near
identical job approved
specifically for weight loss.
The NHS has recently approved us
use here in the UK, but there's
no strict rules on how doctors
prescribe it, including
crucially ensuring patients make
lifestyle changes to
generally if you have a BMI of
35, which is you know above
being obese, or you can have a
BMI of around 30 Plus have a
couple of health related issues
such as high blood pressure,
high cholesterol levels, was
having this criteria is
important. It doesn't make
doctor is worried that people
who really want to get their
hands on it will seek to buyers
and pick or we go V without
medical supervision on the black
market, black
market will become frustrated,
they will find a way around it.
And that has now developed the
black markets for these
unverified untested compounds
and are claimed to be some
people have become malnourished
become very sick, you need
supervision by a qualified
healthcare professional a
doctor.
The Medicines and Healthcare
Products Regulatory Agency
recently launched a campaign
warning about the online sale of
counterfeit medicines including
weight loss injections, being
able to get access to these
weight loss drugs off
prescription could have serious
consequences, not least for
those with eating disorders.
So we know that people with
eating disorders who are often
obsessed about losing weight,
they'll try anything, and we'll
find it far too easy to find the
jobs online.
From the people I've spoken with
today, you realize that these
drugs can be very helpful. food
to people who want to lose
weight. But they can have very
serious consequences if used in
the wrong circumstances. They're
easy to get ahold of online and
it's worrying that counterfeit
jabs are available on the black
market too.
Adam Curry: So they've
introduced black market online
counterfeit get rid of the
compounding. You need to do this
officially do this the proper
way people do it like Sharon,
who looks like death warmed
over. She I'm sorry, she does
not look good.
John C Dvorak: I'm sure when she
looks in the mirror she
disagrees with you.
Adam Curry: And I remember her
as this Roly Poly meal. British
housewife in 1988. Now, I mean
it's unhealthy the way she looks
really is as well that
John C Dvorak: anorexics keep
seeing themselves as too fat
that yeah, someday I don't even
brain when you look at yourself,
you go home still too fat.
Adam Curry: It's horrible. I
mean, it's a horrible disease.
The mental disease so anyway, we
do have a Hail Mary from the
French you know McCrone is just
not cutting the mustard. No one
likes him. He's making all the
wrong moves. And so they need to
bring in a fresh young face.
Well, France
Unknown: now has a new prime
minister and a young one that's
34 year old Gabrielle Atal, the
former education minister is now
the youngest Prime Minister in
recent French history. He's also
the first one to be openly gay
is going to replace Elizabeth
bone who resigned Monday after
almost two years in the job. Now
that cabinet reshuffle had been
in the works for some time now.
Across hoping to give new
momentum to the last three years
of his presidency that have been
rocked by a series of
controversial moves over
pensions and immigration.
Adam Curry: There you go. Yeah,
he's he's 34 years old, young
guy, handsome guy. First one to
be openly gay. Like we'd like
that's important to know. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: I think they have
to say that otherwise somebody
will bring it out. So it's,
they've been trained to keep it
a secret. Hey, I got some
podcasting ads.
Adam Curry: Oh, where did you
get these from?
John C Dvorak: I Heart Radio.
Adam Curry: Now I Heart Radio is
the one that's not bankrupt.
Right. That's Odyssey Odyssey
who are $2 billion in the hole.
Somehow. It's easy to first of
all, they they borrow the money
to buy CBS Radio. That's that's
where the debt comes from. And
then they started all kinds of
they bought podcast companies.
That wasn't for billions of
dollars, but they bought podcast
companies and the advertising
market is running over. They're
going to tick tock they're
running away from radio. It's
still still a big industry, but
it's hard. It's hard to make
that work. It's expensive.
John C Dvorak: Compared we have
the letter from the guy that has
the Tick Tock experience you
want to read? Yeah,
Adam Curry: I actually do. Well,
what he was saying you mean the
the guy who said that tick tock
is filled with the State
Department piece, spooks spooks
yeah
John C Dvorak: American spoon
that's why
Adam Curry: it hasn't gone away
the enter enter the whole Johns
Hopkins lady yeah bureau of
Western Hemisphere Affairs
Mariola Janek. As she's a tick
tock there's a whole bunch of I
put the link in the show notes
people look at State
Department's Office of human
rights and humanitarian affairs.
There's just lots of lots of
spooks in there they finally got
smart that's what you want to
do.
John C Dvorak: Is shut it down
Stop Why growing up
Adam Curry: I love tick tock I
John C Dvorak: mean not that I
watch it but I think it's yours
condemning me for pulling tick
tock clips that's why I love it
now you love it now you change
it
Adam Curry: I love it because
you pull those nutty clips we
have an end of show mix from
your last one even here
John C Dvorak: we go with I
think the political one pod I
know you can play with I got
three of them and you do not say
pod
Adam Curry: can you just say it
no I put pod on I know the clip.
It's triggering me
John C Dvorak: kill you in your
pod. Okay, I don't I don't like
using it but I use it to to make
a shorter name for the clip.
Okay, just as circumvention.
Okay pod add politics for pop.
Unknown: And this is profit from
the politics for profit podcast
and this what we do here we take
all these highfalutin political
ideas and things in the news and
explain it to you in a language
that we all speak and just like
I don't know take filibuster

know what that is. Because if
you've got a mama that don't

listen, mom's before you make
your decision. What happened was
there Everything said after that
is filibuster you just trying to
stall her out to avoid the
inevitable Congress do it all
the time. See you already knew.
So listen to her politics we're
probably on the iHeartRadio app
Apple podcasts or wherever you
get your podcasts.
Adam Curry: Okay, so no I would
say go listen to Jen Brian
instead. What is what is her
podcast again? What is Jim briny
once congressional congressional
dish if you want to learn stuff
like that and and get a very
good insight into the political
process the United States, then
that's the podcast not this. Yo

Adam Curry: Well, it's not so
goodbye. All right, I'm
John C Dvorak: sure it's this
get away from the these guys and
go to this one. This is like the
village of nothing much. This is
a this goes the other extreme of
podcasting.
Unknown: Tune in to the new
podcast stories on the village
of nothing much. Like easy
listening is bad for fiction. If
you've overdosed on bad news, we
invite you into a world where
the glimmers of goodness in
everyday life are all around
you. I'm Katherine Nikolai, and
I'm an architect of cozy. come
spend some time where everyone
is welcome. And the default is
kindness. Listen, relax, enjoy.
listen to stories from the
village of nothing much on the
iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts
or wherever you get your
podcasts.
Adam Curry: Okay, well, I have a
suggestion when you while you're
listening to this podcast, do it
in the bath. And then bring in
the toaster.
John C Dvorak: Please the
architect of cozy Oh man.
Adam Curry: Oh, brother,
brother, brother, you know,
that's not what the kids want.
What the kids want what the boys
want. They want only fans. Have
you seen the money that these
only fans models claim claim to
be making?
John C Dvorak: I think they're
probably making close to
whatever they're saying they're
making. I'm not
Adam Curry: gonna disagree $52
million in three years this one
thing where it was it was this.
MC now has an AI version. And
the AI version will do
John C Dvorak: as she could she
could afford to buy an AI
company. This is better than
hooking? Yes.
Adam Curry: It's but it's so
it's so destructive for young
men. Is this really apparent? I
mean, we used to have to go out
into the in the woods and we hit
our magazine. And we put it in a
plastic bag and put it under
leaves.
John C Dvorak: remember doing
that? What would you go on? what
else what else? You're going to
go into that fish? Well, that's
all
Adam Curry: we had. But that was
it. And we had and we shared one
magazine. Look at it. Oh man.
Look at this now. Now. I'm kids
are blowing their lunch money on
this stuff. Stop it. Yeah,
especially the AI version.
John C Dvorak: Oh, that's just
dumb. Yeah, but
Adam Curry: this is what it's
become. I mean, and of course it
starts because parents are
putting their kids on the
screens at an earlier an earlier
age. In fact, America's most
trusted and favorite doctor had
a bit about this on ABC. Good
Morning, America.
Unknown: All right, let's talk
to America's favorite doctor,
shall we? Of course. Alright,
let's talk about this new study
to take a look at how screentime
can impact the sensory
development of toddlers. What do
we need? Yeah, so this just
published in the journal JAMA
Pediatrics gonna get the
attention of anyone with a small
child or a baby. Let me take you
through the findings. They did a
review of sensory processing
data. I'll go into what that
means in a second from about
1500 children ages one through
three, what they found,
basically an association not
cause and effect between the
amount of screen time and their
odds of having a sensory
processing difference at 12
months they had twice the odds
of a sensory processing
difference. When they tested
these children around for at 18
months for each additional hour.
That odds rate went up by about
23% by two years of age, every
hour increase the odds by about
20%. According to the Academy of
Pediatrics, we have to be
crystal clear. Zero screen time
of any kind for babies under the
age of 12 months, when you're
talking about 18 to 24 months of
age, they're limiting it to one
hour. And it has to be quality
as well as quantity they're
keeping an eye on so shared
screen time. And what they're
watching makes as much of a
difference is how much
I'm not gonna lie. This like
sent me into a whole panic,
because I have a chance to hold
at home. And there's really I
mean, some days there's like
nothing you correct except for
Cara here. Can we please have
the right to do something and
keep you safe?
You are right. It should not be
a guilt shaming issue, because
sometimes you don't have another
choice. No,
you're on your own and you're
stuck. Challenging,
John C Dvorak: yes. What is the
I missed the premise?
Adam Curry: The premises stop
using screens? Yeah.
John C Dvorak: I understand
that. That's that's the goal.
The premise what what is it
doing to them? That's negative.
They said something about it
causes something and I don't
know what they're talking about.
Adam Curry: sensory processing
issues. What does that mean? As
mean? That they can't, that
they're so sucked into the
screen that they don't
understand how to process the
real world with their senses.
John C Dvorak: We find that hard
to believe. Oh, John,
Adam Curry: it's so bad. It's so
bad. These kids in school they
get ill I
John C Dvorak: know the kids in
school. They're on the screen
too much they get out but they
can't walk or what they can't
do. They can't they walk in his
balance.
Adam Curry: Walking is not one
of the five senses. They have
sensory processing mill. They
have issues with comprehending
speech. They have issues. Yeah,
with all kinds of stuff. Of
course, this is bad.
John C Dvorak: Look, I'm not
saying it's good. Okay. I just
wonder what the premise is. I'm
skeptical of what the premise
that they can't walk, talk,
smell, they can't feel right.
Well,
Adam Curry: it probably would
have been better. They said your
kid will become retarded, that
would have been better that that
makes more sense. That would
have been the way to go. And
with that, I'd like to thank you
for your courage in the morning
to you the man who put the sea
in chris Christie's hot mic, say
hello to my friend on the other
end, the One Only Mr. John Cena
John C Dvorak: was read in
Korean Memorial ships and sea
boosts underground feet in the
air fish in the air subs in the
water and days and nights out
there in the
Adam Curry: morning to the plugs
falling out of the air. Hello
there. Trolls Good to have you
all aboard. was hard. I saw a
couple of really small ones
scurrying away. 1819 8019. For
today's count, how are we on
that? 89?
John C Dvorak: That's right on
the money.
Adam Curry: It's pretty good,
right? Yeah, yeah. Do you know
that 42% of the listeners of the
no agenda podcast, listen to all
of it. 62% listened to half of
it. The other ones that are
going to be voted off the island
first, obviously. That's
actually those numbers are not
that bad, actually for three,
three hour podcast. This is
where you have a response.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. I think is
great.
Adam Curry: I did I did a test
on the Norwegian social. I had a
poll, I use the polling feature.
And I said how many people are
here on no agenda social. Listen
to the show. And I and the end
the poll was the poll was
irrelevant. Because the question
I had what I have, I had, let me
see what my poll was. The okay,
I had four to eight times a
month, about two times a month.
And sometimes. So sometimes had
7% about two times a month had
4% and four to eight times a
month. 89% But that's not why I
did the poll. I wanted to see
how many people would respond.
Now we have 10,000 people on
norgine The social how many
people do you think responded to
with an answer at all?
John C Dvorak: Any old poll but
100 Maybe now please? 500?
Adam Curry: Who in my mind, that
means that we only have 5% of
the people on no agenda social
actually care?
John C Dvorak: Well, I don't
think people would look I would
say what you've got is 500
People that at that moment in
that that slice of time, we're
online most of you are just
hanging there we just all the
time. 10,000 people on line No,
it's not gonna be that I think
that numbers I was I guessed 100
Adam Curry: Do you think it's a
good number?
John C Dvorak: I think it's a
great number.
Adam Curry: Oh, man, how can I
discredit this if it's a good
night mber
John C Dvorak: wow where do you
want to discredit it? Just
Adam Curry: every is everybody.
Everybody who's posting memes
basically just trying to
discredit meme posting.
John C Dvorak: You're just a
meme hater.
Adam Curry: Bad memes and that's
what most of them are.
John C Dvorak: No not the ones I
use the years of the worst. No
they're not What do you mean the
worst one my memes are picked.
They're selected from selected
they're selected out of
selections of selections okay
our stair Psych was like panning
for gold well let's get to go
through the sluice and then you
get to a golden nugget at the
very end and that's where I'm
posting requesting the nuggets.
Adam Curry: Okay, so your nugget
is when Breyers did this
Democrats did this so spare me
your bullshit. Wow, John, that
was dynamite. Next one. If you
want me to trust the science and
stop telling me this is a man
this is a woman this is an
expert. This is healthy. You
think that's Oh, I will those
John C Dvorak: are the ones
online I'm talking about the
ones I use in the newsletter

stuff? Oh, she just missed it.

starts.
John C Dvorak: This is how it
started. They emailed three
shows ago. And she she's of the
opinion that she can do this.
And yeah, no,
Adam Curry: I know what you're
saying. Yeah, exactly the same
note of saying the stuff we
always say don't do it because
it always fails. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: it's a fail.
It's, it's a potential for
failure.
Adam Curry: So trolls, good to
have you here. I love you all. I
do. I love the troll rooms my
favorite place. I love it when
people troll away. That's great.

dropped it as the kids say he
dropped it today.
John C Dvorak: He dropped it in
competition with our show.
Adam Curry: He was supposed to
drop it yesterday. Yeah. He was
very complimentary. Rude. He was
very complimentary about the
show. I didn't have to prompt or
anything. He
John C Dvorak: obviously did
some log rolling.
Adam Curry: Pod rolling. Ah, I
can't believe I said he used
pod. I did. That was a fun
little chat. Remember to use
promo code Tom woods I told him

you so much. They come in and
give money to us Tom

Adam Curry: years and years of
reverse it. We salute you. Our
pre show guy. Yes, right. I
appreciate that guy. Everybody.
John C Dvorak: Well together
show think of this show.
Adam Curry: Yes, yes. Yes. Well,
we also want to thank what are
those people call to make pretty
pictures for the show.
John C Dvorak: artists, artists.
Adam Curry: The artists who
deliver us time and talent in
return for the value they
received from the show some also
give us treasure and donate
which we love. We always want to
thank and highlight the artists
that brought us the artwork for
the previous episode. Now we had
a new word deputy Terry, that
was the title of the show of
1623. And the art was from
Francisco skata manga, who we
hadn't seen for a hot minute
he's back and there were a lot
of thematic pieces of art. But
Francisco really brought it home
with the with the huge alien.
The Miami cop car, had the
shopping bags with 33 on it. And
I can now go to the no agenda
Art Generator, which is fast.
Thank you, Sir Paul couture, he
probably put like some cluster
on it. He was tired of
complaining about complaining.
And he's like, how does it work?
Now, boys? Yeah,
John C Dvorak: he was irked
about the fact that he had to do
this extra work
Adam Curry: fast is fast. I love
it is beautiful.
John C Dvorak: At least it's 10
times faster just noticeably.
It's great.
Adam Curry: I really is great. I
love it. So we chose we picked
this
John C Dvorak: art you should
take Why did we pick this art?
Adam Curry: Well, I
John C Dvorak: remember Okay,
tell me
Adam Curry: I don't remember.
John C Dvorak: Because it's
Scaramanga does a real art.
Yeah, it's not AI. Everything
else was a I could see it all
over the place. Pretty much. You
in particular course. Yeah. We
agreed on the on this piece
because it's, it's like real
art. Just like he spent a few
minutes doing drawing out these
characters. This wasn't done by
AI from what we can tell if it
was in this? We don't think so.
No. Well, and but everything
else all the other aliens that
we saw on here were all aliens.
It's
Adam Curry: not so much that,
you know, I'm not against tools
like AI and be Photoshop is it
has AI in it. But that stuff it
does. You can you could arguably
call that AI. But the AI art
like, you know comics or Blogger
we've chosen once or twice and
he just goes off the road. Look
at all the pretty swirly colors.
John C Dvorak: But he also had a
competitor was scary mangas
piece which is aliens in the
mall, which was clearly AI.
Yeah. And it was it didn't have
any team that we've discussed it
had no, there's no soul.
Adam Curry: Yeah, soulless,
soulless and flawless.
appreciated what Schwartz
swaddle had done, which was some
frightening drawing of some guy
with a gay you had a thing for
this piece spun up spinach is
what it was called. Yeah, well,
because it was clearly hand
drawn with crayons. I don't know
what it was done with. That's
interesting. I'm seeing some
other pieces that I didn't see
before. Did we see I guess we
didn't see the you know, we had
a lot of planes with doors and
phones falling out. It's hard to
do. art that is humorous. Now,
it's, it's subtle. I don't think
AI just doesn't have humor. Now
that's not baked in as
John C Dvorak: possible.
Adam Curry: Well, not according
to Sam Altman.
John C Dvorak: I haven't seen
any AI that's, that's hilarious.
Yeah.
Adam Curry: Yeah, it may be
That's it. Maybe AI doesn't
understand the concept of humor.
John C Dvorak: And how could it
because it can't understand and
understand implies a certain
human trait. So basically, I
can't possibly have so it's even
Adam Curry: worse than a two
year old on a screen.
John C Dvorak: That's pretty
much it is a two year old on the
screen Exactly.
Adam Curry: What we liked it was
titled et needs new vinyl. It
was a good piece. Francisco
Scaramanga. We liked it was very
good.
John C Dvorak: We should mention
that Dame Kenny Ben won the
competition last year.
Adam Curry: Oh, she was the top
artists for all of 2023 Yeah,
and
John C Dvorak: we've decided we
get them out of my pocket. Yes,
you and I largely decided before
some time. This
Adam Curry: is this is why
People should listen to the
donation segment. We
John C Dvorak: are going to send
her says we had the diploma
template for the PhD. We're
going to send her a Master of
Fine Arts degree. Wow four album
art design exclusive
Adam Curry: only one in
existence. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Well, it's
because we came late to the I
mean, whoever I don't even know
who won the year before before
before. But she gets the first
one but it does. We'll continue
to do this as we go on. And I'm
wanting to give one I also a
Master of Fine Arts for website
design, to
Adam Curry: two who don't spell
couture. How would this is
interesting. How about we do
degrees for podcasting? Instead
of awards? We give them masters
we give them PhDs and certain
topics.
John C Dvorak: Now there's a I'm
not gonna start giving, we're
giving these away to people who
have contributed to the show to
an extreme Dame Kenny, Ben has
contributed to the show and so
as Darren for that matter and
some of these other people this
is a this is just a reward for
their contributions not because
we think somebody's podcast is
good, I just

cool to have a PhD and pre show

that? Is it on the way is it in
the mail as a comment is

Because that's how value for out

the show you enjoy the show.
Whatever you get out of the
show, you can put it back in so
many ways. By hitting somebody
in the mouth, you can organize a
meet up, you can give us boots
on the ground, you can give us
clips, you can give us just

something. That one thing that
you're an expert at when it pops
up, please email, reach out to

wait to see you all at the
roundtable. My latest donation
of 3367 completes my
apprenticeship and should yield
me my knighthood. I turned
another year older Tuesday and
could not continue on without a
knighthood. I earned this the
hard way, purposefully not
taking advantage of reduced
prices in the past. I initially
had producer anxiety blocking me
from donating I've never heard
of this.
John C Dvorak: I wanted to know
how much yeah how often that
turns up. I'd
Adam Curry: like well let us

we have today, John? So
John C Dvorak: I took your
advice to make something that it
was less about someone almost
dying. Yeah, yeah, but I
couldn't find anything super
Bunnell, which is I think what
you're looking for, but I found
this this is a good news story.
And I'd love the actions is
about the moose that was selling
Unknown: tonight a maritime
couple is being celebrated for a
keen eye and quick action that
led to a most Canadian rescue.
CCTVs Atlanta pickerel picks up
the story. So
Lynn Lavoie spends most of her
weekends in her side by side
exploring new brunswick
alongside her husband, Claude.
Typically, she rides shotgun,
and keeps an eye on everything
Nietzsche has to offer. But even
after a lifetime in the
outdoors, this was a first for
us. This Sunday brought a brand
new experience when she spotted
a moose out on the ice. She
wasn't
making any noise or anything
like that. She was very quiet,
or young. We got and we looked
down. We could tell that she was
just sprawled out on the river
like on the ice and could move
so we knew her legs were fine
then at that point, but again,
it was just trying to figure out
what was the next step. A few
minutes later to peace officers
join the couple as they work to
safely get the moose back onto
the bank using a ratchet strap
from there side by side. First,
we were wondering about the ice
thickness. But then my husband
said well, you know that animal
has to be at least 400 pounds.
So he says I can go on the ice.
So he asked the police officer
to just basically hang on to the
stretch so that if something
like if the ice was to break, he
could pull them back.
While the entire rescue mission
only took about 30 to 40
minutes. It's an experience that
will surely last a lifetime. Now
I grew
up in the country so like I see
those animals like a lot and
often enough but I mean it was
still surreal to see one
stranded on the ice but just to
see that we were able to get it
to not to shore but on this on
the bank and to kind of give it
a little pat. You know she'd be
on her way it was it was good.

make a bunch of promises to
myself that I probably won't

mind listening to Kanye somebody
that this is the most important
election of our lifetime and you

fall victim to election season

it down with the never ending
wisdom thinking what in this
country gave in said at con ying
yang funny thing go worse
durations to be driven driven
Trump one that was such a great
tradition. So make the decision
to run away from these live long
politicians. I'm already getting
so stressed out in election
season. Song songs. I wish I was
like the majority of this
country live in in dimension B
and I get so stressed out in
election season. No doubt going
off the deep end is torturing

weekend.
