Adam Curry: This Year Award
Winning Combination Mina
assassination episode 1638. This
is no agenda, enjoying a free
extra day, and broadcasting live
from the heart of the Texas hill
country here in FEMA Region
number six in the morning,
everybody. I'm Adam curry
John C Dvorak: in from Northern
Silicon Valley where we're all
enjoying Leap Day. I'm Jonathan
Devorah.
Adam Curry: Buzzkill. I believe
this is the first I think this
is the first time we've ever had
a show on Leap Day.
John C Dvorak: It's possible the
only happen once every four
years. It didn't have to be a
coincidence that one day of the
week, Thursday, or Sunday has to
fall on that day. So I someone
out there could do the
calculation on this statistical
probability. Yeah, probably. It
could be
Adam Curry: as far as I can
remember this the first time
ever, but it's very enjoyable.
Now as feels like it. So how
many shows that we had in this
in this month? Let me check. We
have 12345678. This will be the
ninth show this month. I mean,
that's value for value right
there. Oh, we're Yeah,
John C Dvorak: we're giving
people their money's worth. I
think so. Especially considering
the money. Yeah,
Adam Curry: reminder, we are a
value for value program, which
means you can support us with
your time, talent and treasure
no agenda donations.com. But
first, let's, I mean, there's
something we weren't realizing.
Well, actually, we know. War is
good for business. This we know.
We know. We know that COVID was
good for business. It was bad
for people's health, but good
for business. We printed up a
lot of money and put a lot of a
lot of money into the states and
everybody had lots of money,
lots of money, especially into
the states. And so now the cat
is kind of out of the bag
Victoria Nuland admitted it it's
in the New York Times in the
Wall Street Journal, The
Washington Post, everyone's
trying to say, hey, you really?
This money for Ukraine? It's not
really for Ukraine is for us?
Have you noticed an uptick in
this in this narrative?
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Yeah, I
guess for us, even though we
make a tank here and pay workers
to make the tank and then ship
the tank off for free to
Ukraine.
Adam Curry: Right. But I think I
have a feeling that this is
really the only thing that's
keeping our country in business
at all.
John C Dvorak: Well, that and
money laundering Well,
Adam Curry: let's, let's listen
to a bit of the money laundering
scam from a Democrat, who, of
course, is a war monger from
Colorado, Representative Jason
crow.
Unknown: But let's also talk
about how this bill is
structured and how it provides
that support. It provides that
support by spending over half of
the money right here in the
United States, to US businesses
and US workers from places like
Texas and North Carolina and
Pennsylvania and Colorado, all
throughout this nation, who will
be building the equipments and
supplies that we'll be sending
to our military costs. Another
important part of this, our
military sends our old equipment
to Ukraine. And Ukraine uses
John great effect on the
battlefield. Yeah, we can tell
the new stuff has kept by our
military. Oh, so let's break
this down. Break, please break
it down. We're supporting our
economy, for protecting our
100,000 troops. We're ensuring a
stable and prosperous Europe.
We're defeating the Russian
military. We're ensuring food
supplies, we're updating,
updating our own military
stocks. We're infusing money in
the US Defense industrial base
and to our own workers and
businesses. And we're doing all
of this for less than 5% of our
annual defense budget.
Adam Curry: So new term,
military industrial base,
instead of saying complex we say
base, and I don't know what that
even means. military industrial
base. Is that the base of all of
our industry, I guess so. But
here's what I found out, by
John C Dvorak: the way that that
number he threw out at the end
is bogus. Oh, it's much
Adam Curry: more than the 5% I
presume?
John C Dvorak: Oh, yeah.
Adam Curry: Now, this is the
beauty that I didn't realize it
until I came across this report
from Turkish Radio Television
who I'm liking more and more
these days. This war, the so
called War is allowing us to
soak and screw the entire
European Union. We're soaking
them for hundreds of billions of
dollars. Since the
Unknown: start of the Ukrainian
war. Industrial production in
the US Defense and Space sector
has increased by 17.5% European
governments in including Poland,
Germany, and other NATO eastern
flank countries have placed
ordered worth billions of
dollars. Their shopping list
include fighter jets,
helicopters, tanks and other
hardware in 2023 spending by
European countries went up by
30% to $345 billion, almost a
third higher than a decade ago.
Pull on $30 billion orders for
Apache helicopters High Mobility
Artillery Rocket System HIMARS M
one a one Abrams tanks and other
hardware from the US Germany
will spend over $20 billion to
buy 35 us made F 35 fighter jets
and 60 Chinook helicopters and
related equipment, as it ramps
up military spending from $50
billion in 2021 to over $100
billion in 2022. Following
crushers worries crane,
Romania's government increased
his 2024 defense budget by
almost 45% over 2023, reaching
roughly $20.8 billion to
accommodate major weapons
purchase from the US this surge
in demand has created 1000s of
jobs and production lines have
spread across 40 US states
already but the economic
benefits are not limited to the
defense industry. But wait,
there's more US has become the
world's largest exporter of
liquefied natural gas. The
destruction of Russian gas
supplies has meant Europe has
turned to America for his gas.
This has led to significant
investments in new LNG projects,
boosting the US economy even
faster for indirect investment
in the US has seen a nearly 50%
increase with European companies
attracted by the access to cheap
and abundant energy.
Adam Curry: It's a bonanza
hundreds. Okay. I didn't realize
this. I didn't realize that that
all that money they were we're
sending money to Ukraine. No,
you're not. You're sending it to
us.
John C Dvorak: This is great.
Oh, here. Yeah. Let's listen to
some more a less histrionic
analysis of how much money is
actually being spent? Oh, by Are
you?
Adam Curry: Are you gonna bum me
out? Now? I
John C Dvorak: run that I know
it's gonna bum you out or not.
But I don't believe anything.
That guy said. Oh, I can see why
he's like it is a great clip.
But let's listen to the Al
Jazeera who looks at these
things probably says they're not
that involved in this war as
Turkey is. And Turkey is trying
to humiliate the EU all the
time. Yes. Let's listen to this
clip as Ukraine war and it has
contributions. I want
Unknown: to take a quick look at
this point at the contributions
that we've been seeing from from
different countries. Obviously,
Western powers, as we've been
talking about have been heavily
supporting Ukraine's war effort.
Let's look at some of those
numbers. Now Cuba has received
around $270 billion worth of
aid, including military,
financial and humanitarian
support. The biggest donor is
the United States, it's given
more than $75 billion over the
past two years. And a new aid
package, as we've been talking
about worth around $60 billion
is though currently stalled in
US Congress. Western powers have
also given Ukraine advanced
weaponry, including tanks,
fighter jets, and anti aircraft
weapons. Looking at European
contributions Germany that was
what more than $19 billion worth
UK 9.8 billion France I was
interested to see is 686
million. So it's pretty bold of
Macron. To talk about needing to
do more when they're that far
behind in contributions, isn't
it? I wanna Well,
according to the Kiel Institute,
which is tracking the the public
contributions because of course,
some of the contributions may
not always be public. Indeed,
France is in 14th place after,
indeed, as you said, the United
States, Germany, which is the
biggest European contributor,
the UK, Poland, many, many
others. So everybody is
contributing, but I fully agree
that everybody needs to do more
because this is an existential
moment.
Adam Curry: Ah, the Frenchman.
Frogs are no good. I ponying up
McCrone.
John C Dvorak: The big this
evolved from a conversation
about the McCrone saying he's
gonna send troops I have the
clip. Many
Unknown: Western nations have
done far more than France to
help Ukraine. But France is
certainly the first float the
idea of putting boots on the
ground French vote even if
President Macron stressed there
are no plans or agreements to do
so. In yet but constant social
depo over a year. There is no
consensus today to officially
openly and with endorsement to
send troops to Ukraine. But in
terms of dynamics, nothing
should be ruled. It will do
everything necessary to ensure
that Russia cannot win this war.
The comments came after a
hastily convened summit of
Ukrainian allies called in the
Shadow of War. Russian military
advances your cubic feet, we
should not rule out the need for
security, justify some elements
of deployment. But I've told you
very clearly what France
maintains as its position, which
is a strategic ambiguity.
Standby.
Adam Curry: I think most of
Europe is saying, hey, send
Pierre man, that's fine by me.
John C Dvorak: No, actually,
they're all saying no, you can't
do it. Don't do it. You're gonna
get us all in trouble.
Adam Curry: Did you see what
what Schultz did the German
Chancellor. He blocked he
blocked a Taurus.
John C Dvorak: They don't want
to get NATO involved in boots on
the ground. This was just
macarons in trouble politically
throws this out there. He's not
going to give him any more than
the 480 million or whatever she
passed. amount of money he's
contributed. So he makes this
bullcrap that wouldn't happen in
a million years.
Adam Curry: Here's here's
Schultz
Unknown: Chancellor Alessia it
says Berlin Will Not Supply
Ukraine with long range tourists
cruise missiles now shots cited
the missiles extreme range and
the fact that it would not be
possible for Germany to remotely
monitor target control. Taurus
missiles can hit targets up to
500 kilometres away and try it
said the missiles deployment
could increase the risk of
Germany becoming involved in the
war.
Adam Curry: Yeah, no kidding.
You can't trust the Lensky with
that. You'll be sending it into
Moscow. How far is Moscow? How
many how many kilometers is
miles we
John C Dvorak: had that on the
show before it is I think is
less than 500 miles. Yeah. So
this is
Adam Curry: no you can't give
that to that guy. That's no
good.
John C Dvorak: No, no, not he
just send them all to Moscow.
Adam Curry: So that we have
Yulia No, no, no Vanya because
you have to say at a at the end.
So she is now the new the new
spokesmodel for war. And she so
after her appearance at the
Munich Security Conference,
where the news broke as the
coincidence amazing. She goes to
Brussels now there's a problem
with Yulia it her English is
really really not good enough to
sound forceful. She has the
right look. Now, she got the
cool bell bottom, pants on which
is very modern, with the so
she's got me that the hair tied
back everything. It's all the
right look, but it's not not
quite hitting home with the
accent
Unknown: Yuliana. Vanya told the
blocks elected representatives
her husband Alexei was murdered
on the orders of Russian
President Vladimir Putin
on his orders. Alexei was
tortured for three years. She
was starved in a tiny stone cell
GLaDOS from the outside world,
and denied visits, phone calls,
and then even letters. And then
they killed him.
Kremlin continues to deny those
allegations. She said Russian
authorities delayed the release
of his body, and she worries
people attending the funeral on
Friday would be arrested. I
literally told the parliament
that despite sanctions, and
despite the donated weapons,
ammunition and money for
Ukraine, Putin's invasion
continues and his grip on power
at home is stronger than ever.
You cannot charge coach in this
in this in other resolution, or
another set of sanctions is no
good. That is no different from
the previous ones. You cannot
defeat him by thinking he's a
man of principle who has morals
and drills. She is not like
that. And Alex Alexei realized
that a long time ago. You're not
dealing with a police. You're
not dealing with a politician.
But we say bloody
Adam Curry: monster, a bloody
monster. Bloody monster.
John C Dvorak: Your point is
well taken. Yeah. Now
Adam Curry: here's what's
interesting. So first, the was
the guy in Ukraine. The the HU
archief Hu ours the intelligence
the main director of
intelligence of Ukraine's
Ministry of Defense, Curie lo
Boudin off came out and said
well, I said he quote I may
disappoint you but as far as we
know Alexion evaluate died as a
result of a blood clot this
Yeah, this is not when the VAX
well that's what they don't
throw in and and even even
crazier. He they were teeing up
to exchange him for, for some
Russian guy, an
Unknown: ally of Alexei Maloney.
The deceased Russian opposition
politician says Navalny was
close to being freed at the time
of his death. In a YouTube video
Maria PEF chick says there had
been plans for Navalny to be
exchanged for a Russian Hitman
who's been held in a German jail
talks were apparently in the
final stages when he died of
Czech also repeated her
allegation that President
Vladimir Putin is responsible
for Novelle knees death.
Adam Curry: Now, why would Putin
do that? If he was a bargaining
chip and wanted to exchange him,
why would he kill him? He
John C Dvorak: wouldn't admit to
make any logical sense. This is
just all part of the anti Putin.
You know, everything's Putin,
Putin Putin, including including
the everybody from everything
going on over here is all Putin
Putin the the, the Hunter Biden,
investigation is all Putin Putin
Putin, Putin it is I mean, if
you listen to these I don't have
the clip, unfortunately, should
have got it. Just a wrap up clip
of every Democrat Congressman
saying is Putin is behind this
is Russian disinformation. We're
back off this.
Adam Curry: We're back. We're
back. And you know, it makes
sense. You know, who's back?
Scary Poppins is back. That Nina
Jiang KOVITCH. You know, you
remember her vaguely so she
shows up. I'll do a little intro
clip here from this is NPR, New
Hampshire
Unknown: voters heard a familiar
voice on the other end of a robo
call last month, telling them
not to vote in the upcoming
Democratic presidential primary
important
that you save your vote for the
November election. We'll need
your help in electing Democrats
up and down ticket. Voting this
Tuesday only enables the
Republicans in their quest to
reelect Donald Trump again, your
vote makes a difference in
November, not just Tuesday.
That's sure sounds like
President Joe Biden right down
to his trademark more earlier in
the call. But it's actually a
deep fake that used AI to mimic
Biden's voice to try to
illegally suppress voting and
disrupt the New Hampshire
primary. Nina djenka wits is
vice president at the Center for
Information resilience. And in a
new piece she wrote for Foreign
Affairs, she argues that we're
about to be bombarded with
disinformation like that, ahead
of the 2024 election. And she
says the US government has
really given up trying to fight
it. So
Adam Curry: I look up this
Center for Information
resilience.
John C Dvorak: I'm already
laughing.
Adam Curry: Love how it says
about us the Center for
Information resilience is an
independent, nonprofit, social
enterprise dedicated to exposing
human rights abuses and war
crimes, countering
disinformation and combating
online behavior harmful to women
and minorities. Our projects in
Myanmar, Ukraine and Afghanistan
are at the forefront of efforts
to investigate and document
human rights abuses. Now, this
is what's interesting. This is a
certified members of social
enterprise UK organization. So
and it even has a picture of
London on the front. But then in
this, how are you funded? Well,
this is very interesting. We
have no core funding, we receive
funding from for individual
projects that support our
organizational objectives, blah,
blah, blah, blah. For instance,
the me Mr. Witness project is
supported by grants from UK
Foreign commonwealth and
development office and
Australia's department for
Foreign Affairs and Trade. Like
other charities, nonprofits who
receive government and
multilateral support, these
funds go directly towards
delivering our project work. Are
you funded by any government?
Why yes, we have received grants
from the UK Government, foreign
commonwealth and Development
Office, the US State Department,
USA ID and Australia's
department for Foreign Affairs
and Trade. So this is just
another governmental
organization or non governmental
organization that she's weaseled
herself into. And I'm sure that
they'll be releasing reports and
making noise and maybe they even
get to do stuff, you know,
combat myths and disinformation.
Because this is what it's going
to be you
Unknown: know, I think we're
more vulnerable now than we have
been at any time in the past 10
years. And I'm including 2018
deluge of Russian disinformation
that we that time. We are in an
extremely partisan politicized
environment when it comes to
disinformation. And so all of
the good work that was built up
since 2016 to push back on
disinformation, whether it was
coming from foreign entities or
domestic entities, is now being
labeled as censorship which is
frankly not that's a bold faced
lie. Oh, so the kinds of
Adam Curry: shows taking people
down and taking accounts off of
social media is not since
censorship was a bold faced lie
Unknown: is now being labeled as
censorship Well, It's frankly
not that's a bold faced lie. No
one's
Adam Curry: calling face when
it's coming from a nonprofit or
a non governmental organization.
You're correct. It is not
directly censorship.
Unknown: So the kind of playing
field is open for anybody who
wants to get involved there. And
I'm talking about foreign
entities. You know, I think
Russia certainly has a lot to be
meddling for, both with, you
know, regard to the war in
Ukraine, but also, I think it's
clear that they will prefer a
Trump presidency over a Biden
presidency in the future, and
we'll probably be gunning for
that. But we also have a wide
array of
Adam Curry: effect, Putin said
exactly the opposite. He's on
record saying he prefers Biden
over trover for
Unknown: a Trump presidency over
a Biden presidency in the future
and will probably be gunning for
that. But we also have a wide
array of domestic dissident
formers across the political
spectrum who are spreading lies
for power and for profit.
Adam Curry: Lies for power and
for profit and for podcasts.
Yes, podcasts, power and profit.
Or our neighbor spoke about this
very system. And she spoke quite
eloquently. I'm talking about
Laura Logan, right down the road
here. She was in Washington, DC
for the Ron Johnson roundtable,
which you know, has so he gets a
lot of good people in in in
these roundtables, and they do
it in some side meeting room of
the Capitol C span. C span
doesn't cover it, you know, they
run repeats of the Nixon
presidency, like oh, we're not
going to cover that. You know,
they had they had, you know,
Malone was there. And O'Dowd
about the the excess deaths and
Dell big tree. And Laura Logan.
She spoke and then she was asked
by Senator Johnson about the
censorship issue with nonprofits
and she answered quite
eloquently.
Unknown: Thank you, Miss Logan,
we're only have a few seconds.
Can you said you've been
targeted over the last 10 years?
Can you describe what
precipitated your targeting?
Yes, reporting the truth about
Benghazi, I was attacked by one
of those NGOs that masquerades
as a nonpartisan watchdog in
violation of its 5013 c status.
It occupies a highly partisan
position. I'm talking about
media matters for America, I'm
sure there's many doctors in
this room, scientists who've
been attacked by the same
people. The same people that run
that David Brock, for example,
and other political assassin now
runs an organization called
facts first USA which is
designed to make sure that your
research that doesn't never
reach, it never reaches the
people or the public. There are
other organizations like defeat
disinfo, which claims to be a
pack that goes off to
disinformation, particularly set
up to target COVID. And
throughout COVID, with General
Stanley McChrystal, and the
other people that advise that
organization. But what you know,
Senator Johnson, it's not a
secret that these organizations
exist. What is not widely known
and talked about, is that it's
paid for by us. It's paid for by
the taxpayers, in your omnibus
spending bills that gets shoved
through the House and the
Senate, against the will of the
people of this country. They are
there are cutouts for these
NGOs. And what they do is they
launder this money, they pass it
from one NGO to the next. And in
the name of preventing the
spread of disinformation. They
censor silence, intimidate and
punish. I said that this is a
death sentence for journalists.
It's how you murder a journalist
without killing them.
Adam Curry: Yeah, this this, of
course, is a good point she's
making how US ID gives us AI D
gives money to these big NGOs
and the NGOs. They then give
away a lot of that money to all
these weird organizations. Yeah,
it's it's a perfect system. And
me if we do want to talk about
disinformation, man, you had a
great rant over email when
someone sent us his New York
Times article about the secret
CIA bases in Ukraine. Yeah, I
mean, talk about propaganda.
Right down to well, this is how
we know that the Russian shot
down the Malaysian airliner, and
I mean, it's just it's crazy.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, this was a
long piece. I was in the New
York Times I think it's been
going around and it's obviously
written by the CIA, to for
whatever purposes has got just
loaded with material. And it
says it's transparently a bogus
article, but it was given one of
those huge massive treatments.
Very long piece about 5000
words. Yeah. It was interesting.
Yeah. Yeah, I got hooked by it
was just an eye opener. So I
read it. Yeah, it's an eye
opener. All right.
Adam Curry: Yeah, Ah, yeah, gee,
do you mean it's interesting?
You mean we've been in there
since 2014? Really? No you don't
say I wonder how that started
could it be with cookies?
Cookies Victoria Nuland cookies
on the my daughter? Don't forget
Brenda was there I Brennan Yes,
Brett who was all he's back
again Brennan. I saw Yeah, he
John C Dvorak: just got back for
some reason they pushed him back
out there. I don't know why he's
unhinged. He's not saying
anything interesting.
Unfortunate. No, and he's
annoying he's not like he's not
he's not personable. He's not a
good spokesperson. But he just
seems like a creep he
Adam Curry: doesn't have gems
like this
Unknown: people are innocent
until alleged to be involved in
some type of criminal activity.
Yes.
John C Dvorak: Those are the all
time classic. Those
Adam Curry: are the gems we
want. We want that stuff. Now
he's Yeah, it's just annoying.
There's nothing good coming out
about him. I don't know why odd.
John C Dvorak: So I wanted to I
sent a bonus clip because I
wanted to introduce a topic so
we can all follow it. Okay.
Which is the the, you are what
you are? I know I am what I say
you are which is being yourself
multicopter the health, which is
a great phrase and Dutch. Yes,
you are with aim. So I didn't
want to do this at all. That
means that's why I sent the
bonus clip. Because this bonus
clip is i is between three and
five years old. I think it's
hard to say because it showed up
on Tik Tok as part of a
reiteration there's nothing to
reiterate,
Adam Curry: it's a classic bonus
clip. It's a
John C Dvorak: clip, but they're
reiterating some of this
bullcrap that has never caught
on. And this started with and
what they're doing is they're
finding the foibles of Biden
and, and starting to project
them on Trump. Oh, and so it's
good. And they're doing it
consistently. And it started
with Jen Psaki and others going,
Biden and Trump are the same
age. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Okay,
first of all, they're not the
same age, and they're not even
in the same generation. It's
only a short difference, like
four years difference in age, I
believe, which is a lot. But
Adam Curry: up in those regions.
Yeah. The difference between 77
and 8181. Yeah, that makes a
difference. I think it makes a
difference. If I can just say
Richard Lewis dead at 76. That
that feels now it was
Parkinson's. He got Parkinson's.
No, yeah, he was a wreck that
feels that just feels bad. It
doesn't feel right. Sorry.
John C Dvorak: So I've already
Okay, well, I don't want to get
into Richard Lewis. But so
they're starting to do this they
started with they're the same
age, they're not the same age.
They're not the same generation.
That's which is even more
important in the age. Also a
notch than what triggered me to
get this clip and some and
discuss it a little bit was a
article in Microsoft start the
Microsoft has this page that
they throw at you every chance
they get on your Windows 11 has
a bunch of I have Windows what
they trump propaganda.
Adam Curry: Why don't I have
start? Why don't I get this
propaganda? If
John C Dvorak: you have a little
weather bug in the left hand
corner of your screen? No, no,
no, I don't. Okay, well, if you
click on that, boom, it opens it
up. You can't help it. So, but
there's a lot of anti Trump
stuff and the thing that caught
my attention was Trump's show.
Analysis of such such sins such
as speech shows Trump's mental
decline, obvious mental decline,
and this is all the stuff that
they're talking about with
Biden. Yeah, so so. So the, this
piece that comes out and I did a
little research on it, there was
a an incident, I think it was in
2020. Where somebody
photoshopped Trump on the golf
course. Which is why they they
don't let anyone near the golf
courses when he's golfing
anymore. You'll see too many
pictures of Trump golfing. No,
because he looks fat because
somebody photoshopped some shit
on his pants. Namie crapped
himself while he was on the golf
course class and even and even
Snopes should look it up because
I photos quite funny and well
done. But
Adam Curry: AI man, it's
John C Dvorak: not even AI. Pre
AI with AI is going to be
better. So we ended up with with
stuff like this particular clip,
which is a this was triggered I
believe, by Adam Kissinger. Who
is an asshole oh man, you're
just on fire today. X Democrat
who in December I think Iran
just before Christmas came on to
some of that one podcast or
another and discussed how Trump
stinks to high heaven. So if
you're around I've never heard
this before. But and you'd think
that after years on the
apprentice for years in office
still floating around that
somebody besides Adam Kissinger,
who I don't believe even shook
hands with Trump, ever, why
would he? I think he's just a
lie. And I think this other
thing, which I'm playing now is,
is I think where a lot of this
stems from they're trying to
ignite this meme, which just
doesn't make any sense. He would
Unknown: often soiled himself on
The Apprentice set. He's
incontinent from all the speed,
all the Adderall, he does the
cocaine that he's done for
decades. All that stuff has a
laxative, and it has an effect
on your, on your bowels and his
or uncontrollable, he's worn
diapers, since probably the 90s
but I saw it firsthand in the
2000s on Celebrity Apprentice
and late 2000s. And we'd have to
stop the show and, and change
him, you know, and that was
Keith Schiller his job, he would
take them off set, he would wipe
them down, or nickname for Keith
wet wipes comedian
and former Trump worker Noel
casler. spilled the beans to
Midas touch. He'll also
do it in a rage. And this is
where it gets really drunk
related. He'll start to freak
out. You know, one time there
was the word arbitrage on a cue
card. And he started screaming
that, you know, the script
department was setting him up.
You're setting me up and he just
freaked out and then very
loudly, evacuated his bowels.
Oh, wow.
Adam Curry: This is I don't
care. I don't care what time in
the show. It is. You're getting
clipped for the day right off
the bat. Yeah. It's been a
while. How can we not have had
this clip before? This is great
news. So
John C Dvorak: So couple of
things. First of all, that he
would get upset by the word
arbitrage anyone is involved in
negotiations or anything like
that would net that word is
common, a common word to be used
by people in finance. I
Adam Curry: thought for a moment
that he that Trump had was going
to read his arbites rage and
that's why he got mad but that's
not where the clip went. But
yes, arbitrage Of course.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. So that's
not going to upset anybody. The
second thing is, is that
Adderall and and cocaine do not
cause incontinence where you it
causes constipation, if anything
if you do some research and look
it up. So that's just a basic
lie. So this guy comes out of
the blue with this. And here's
why it's ludicrous is because,
first of all, we've never heard
of this before this guy and
before Adam Kisan Kissinger
Kisan grew, his last name is
eluding me before these two
Boneheads. And you'd think that
all those years of The
Apprentice show that some
contestant or somebody even
though you signed nondisclosure
is when you do these shows,
you'd think somebody would say
something about this. And then
he goes for years of the
presidency where they're going
after him tooth and nail with
everything. They've got Russian
conspiracies, bad phone calls,
you name it, and this doesn't
come up. And now it comes up
just before the election, and
has been rien reintroduced to
trying to. But again, this comes
up along with the overseeing of
mental decline and Trump in his
speeches, we're seeing this
regime that this is again, that
Dutch phrase been, you know,
applying perfectly to what's
going on and people can just,
this is, this is the lowest that
you can go for the Democrats.
Adam Curry: I'm sure they can
now they can go lower. Come on,
come on, they might
John C Dvorak: be able to go
lower, but I don't know what
it's gonna be more we're gonna
eat babies.
Adam Curry: So, Joe Biden went
into Walter Reed, and, and when
he came out of Walter Reed, I
only found one clip with video
dude, that is not Joe Biden,
when he I think the key now is
the Aviators. When he's wearing
the Aviators, you got to pay
attention to his gait. This was
not not Joe Biden, the President
this was someone else he comes
strolling out he's got his
aviators on you. Even his face
looks just tighter. Tighter, you
know, maybe it was a mask? I
don't know. But the mask and
then and then the answers for
the press were hilarious.
Unknown: The oldest president in
US history left Walter Reed
National Military Medical Center
triumphant after two and a half
mination I'm triumph defended
down a verdict of fit for duty.
cognitive tests are not usually
included in such examinations.
And the White House rebuked any
suggestion that this would be
necessary.
The President's doctor has says
if you look at what this
President the President who was
also the Commander in Chief, he
passes a cognitive test every
day, every day as he moves from
one topic to another topic of
trying understanding the
granular level of these topics
face after polling showed that
Adam Curry: this is that's proof
you goes from one topic to the
next topic. That's just Goofy's.
He knows what he's doing he
knows is on another topic. 76%
Unknown: of us voters have
misgivings about the President's
age in the run up to the 2024
presidential race. A recent
report, exonerating Joe Biden
over the possession of
classified documents after
leaving office in 27. Blah,
blah.
Adam Curry: And then I got I got
two clips from his NBC Seth
Meyers appearance. I know, I've
got to wonder if this was if
this was also the the other
Biden we just call them dark
Brandon, I think is the other
the other Biden is dark,
Brandon. I mean, did you watch
that interview?
John C Dvorak: I watched part of
it, and I was gonna get some
clips from it. But for some
reason I didn't do well, I
Adam Curry: got to I got to.
John C Dvorak: I'm glad you got
yeah, here we go. It does
Unknown: seem as though
democracy in vague terms
somehow, is not easy for us to
grasp, having dealt with
dictators. What do you see in a
world where democracy is
actually at risk in a way it
might be in this election?
So first of all do a dictators
do is they disregard whatever
the rule of law is? They just
disregard it. Here's the guy who
says he wants to, he thinks he
can change the constitution and
ignore it. Just ignore portion
of the Constitution. Here's the
guy who talks about retribution.
Here's the guy. Look, you have a
lot of guys, the 1000s of people
who stormed the Capitol,
storming the capitol for
insurrectionist. Two cops died.
Other people were badly hurt.
And what did he say? Listen to
these lies, they got convicted
and or they pled guilty. And he
said, they're patriots, good
patriots. And he says he's going
to forgive them all. He's going
to you're going to every one of
them is going to be released.
What is I mean, that that's what
happens in Eastern European
countries. What happens in
America, in
Adam Curry: Eastern European
countries is what you did to
them. This was interesting. He
gets he mixes it up in Eastern
European countries, they don't
let people go. Am I
misunderstanding? It's a great
point. Yeah, he's nuts. And then
then he puts his foot in it with
this one, again,
Unknown: you seem like an
optimistic person that you
believe maybe there's a future
for a two state solution before
I'm sitting. It does seem like
there doesn't seem to be any
appetite for that right now. Do
you see what is? Because again,
we see this horrible everyday we
see this horrible images out of
Gaza. And is there a path
forward? Is there a safe future
for the people who live there?
There is
a path forward with difficulty.
But here's the path forward.
Look, first of all, there are
the hostages being held must be
released. And then we've got a
decent principle agreement.
There'll be a ceasefire, while
that takes place. Ramadan is
coming up. And there's been an
agreement by the Israelis that
they would not engage in
activities during Ramadan as
well, in order to give us time
to get all the hostages out.
That gives us
Adam Curry: I just listened to
this. You're right. But just for
being yourself, who's on Coker
speed here? That's this guy
Unknown: time to get all the
hostages out. That gives us time
to begin to move in directions
that a lot of Arab countries are
prepared to move in, for
example, Saudi Arabia is ready
to recognize Israel, Jordan is
Egypt, for six other states have
been working with Qatar. And the
bottom line is that I'm not I
think the only way Israel
ultimately survives, and I make
no bones about it. I get
criticized for having said a
long time ago, you need not be a
Jew to be a Zionist, Zionist, or
the No, Israel does not enjoy in
the world to be safe.
Adam Curry: Oh, no one briefed
him that was not a good idea to
say that. That's like third
rail. Amazon has
John C Dvorak: he's he's right
about the he's right about the
fact that he has said that. Yes,
he has. Its it has been
recorded. So I'm not sure why I
felt the need to say it because
he's, he's nuts. So he is nuts.
Adam Curry: And but but the anti
Trump stuff is great. I mean,
it's back to 2015. I mean, bring
on Reverend Al Sharpton, please.
Unknown: I repeat the insult of
saying that black voters would
in some way, be enticed to
support him because he had a mug
shot like all of us who are
criminals, or to say that
because he has four indictments,
one of which are really two of
which have Georgia and the
Federal around him trying to rob
votings when we had to fight,
people were bloody beaten and
killed to get us the right to
vote. And one person one of his
supporters got on Fox News
saying blacks love him because
of the sneakers. Let me get this
right. If you didn't support
George Floyd justice as a
policing like Biden did, and
signed an executive order he
didn't support the job. On Louis
voting rights, but we supposed
to go for sneakers and a mug
shot. And those blacks that are
standing there with him, Have
you no shame. That does it for
me. Thanks for watching.
Adam Curry: Oh, I was so great.
Let's listen to the to the black
sneaker guy,
Unknown: even the sneaker thing.
I was on social media last
night. I don't think this guy's
black, by the way. Very
interesting, as you see black
support eroding from Joe Biden,
this is connecting with black
America, because they love
sneakers or into sneakers. They
love the deal,
certainly in the inner city, is
Fox News. Of course, when you
have Trump roll out his sneaker
line, they're like, wait a
minute, this is cool. He's
reaching them on a level that
defies and is above politics,
the culture, always Trump's
politics. And Trump understands
culture, like no politician I've
ever seen.
Adam Curry: He understands it.
So well. This is this is what he
said. And his most recent when
these
Unknown: lights are so bright in
my eyes that I can't see too
many people out there. But I can
only see the black ones. I can't
see any white ones. That's how
far I've come. That's how far
I've come. That's a long, that's
a long way.
We've come a long way together.
Adam Curry: Who else can say
that? Well, this
John C Dvorak: was of course in
front of the black. Yes, of
course it was conservative
Federation or whatever it's
called. Yes. And he put it but
that's you know, the funny thing
is I don't have the whole thing.
But one of the shows on Fox?
Because it was a counter to the
guy's like K part override. Oh,
yeah, of course. We saw that as
this is the most racist thing. I
can't imagine anyone saying this
is a racist, racist. And he went
on. So they played different
clips from parts. I got to get
the whole thing. Because what
happened with this with this
speech? Is that his prompt or
went out right away. Oh,
excellent sabotage. So he was
sabotage right at the beginning.
And he still did a 45 minute
set. That killed every second
segment I've seen of it so far
it killed was just hilarious.
His
Adam Curry: set killed so much
Richard Lewis died. That's how
good it was. It just killed.
John C Dvorak: He's doing bits
like he's doing the one bit I
remember. But he's doing
firstly, does his Joe Biden
staggering around bit, which is
new. And he doesn't do it that
often. But when he does it as
funny. So he stagger around
doing Joe biases. And Joe has
asked a question is what's your
favorite color? And what's your
favorite ice cream flavor? And
he says, of course, he said, My
favorite color is black. And my
favorite ice cream is vanilla.
And he's getting killing you.
roars laugh, you're feeling
these gags Yeah. And he's ad
libbing the whole 45 minutes.
Yeah,
Adam Curry: that's impressive.
John C Dvorak: He's impressive
insofar as the Schumer is
concerned. He's not impressive
to me, by the fact that he
didn't pardon, Julian Assange.
But we'll leave that for another
day.
Adam Curry: I mean, and his
pushing of the VAX is not very
impressive either. And not
saying yeah,
John C Dvorak: he's awfully
funny.
Adam Curry: So everyone is so
unhinged that Reverend Al is
doing super cuts again,
Unknown: pushing proven
conspiracy theory is that
pushing proven that they were
not match with conspiracy
theories Jen Sakhi yesterday
President Biden revenue. Rep
President Biden Vodun quote, bye

criminalize conceptual gay
second, California. What are
your thoughts? How do we I mean,
some say he's Jim Jones or Jim
Jordan with a jacket on he co
authored the bill on a to Israel
and retrained recurring.
John C Dvorak: Brain was back
else bash about timing you would
happen you must have lost an
editor so he's befuddled
Adam Curry: by love a producer
he's befuddled is great. It's
great. Oh my goodness. It's so
funny. And let me see what did I
have? Well, there is some
serious news. Of course.
John C Dvorak: You still on
call? I do have one COVID clip?
Oh,
Adam Curry: I've gone way past
COVID I'm on Trump and Biden.
Where are you?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I'm backing
it up. Okay. Because I want to
at least get this out of the
way. There's a woman in
Australia. This is this is a
version of who said that gal in
Ireland that we like to play her
daily. Claire day. This is the
this is a Claire Daly of
Australia reading the riot act
to the Australian In parliament,
she's in Parliament. And she's
in some obscure party like one
Australia, so some very minor
party. But I thought that this
rant is worth getting on our
show, because we love these
rants anyway. And this is Paulo
Pallone. Hansen,
Unknown: folks today has seen an
important victory in the fight
for freedom and human rights in
Australia. The Queensland
Supreme Court today determined
that COVID-19 vaccine mandates
imposed on placing health
workers were unlawful. The
Queensland Police Service and
Queensland Health were wrong to
force mandates on their
organizations. I said from the
start these mandates were wrong.
I said from the start, they
contravene section 51 part 23 A
of the Constitution which
prohibits civil construction
through the provision of medical
services. One Nation was the
only party sign it I said from
the start the mandate should be
unlawful. I introduced
legislation in this Parliament
that would have made certain
they were unlawful. With a
couple of notable exceptions,
the government opposition greens
Jacqui Lambie, and other
independents refused to support
my bill. You all got it wrong. I
feel vindicated once again that
I have got things right, and I'm
in tune with the Australian
people. You didn't care that
people were being coerced into
vaccination at risk of their
jobs. You didn't care the
individual freedoms rights you
were supposed to defend and
protect were under attacked. You
relish the power state
governments were make taking
from their citizens, you cheered
them on, you were wrong. One
Nation was right, because we
were standing up for the
individual freedoms and
constitutional authority that
underpin Australian democracy.
You didn't and you attacked us
for it. You were wrong. This
decision by the Queensland
Supreme Court makes it
paramount. We have a Royal
Commission into the COVID 19
pandemic, the Prime Minister's
Toothless inquiry must be
abandoned on a Royal Commission
can compel the secret advice
that led to these unlawful
vaccine mandates in Queensland.
And I feel for the firefighters
that have gone through it as
well in New South Wales. And the
call
Adam Curry: was a bummer clip.
But since you're doing that,
yes, the season of reveal is
upon us. And this clip is from
Bloomberg Bloomberg who does
serious business news. And the
so the Bloomberg host is talking
to a medical doctor who was a
reporter for Bloomberg and
talking about how COVID Cause
all these other illnesses. And
then he slips in a VAX question
her answer, surprising to say
the least
Unknown: was it just heart
disease rates that were worsened
by COVID, or whether other
ailments that were pressured by
this pandemic?
You know, COVID was terrible for
every part of your body, we saw
increases in diabetes, we saw
increases in stroke, we saw
increases in atrial
fibrillation, and even things
you wouldn't normally tie to
something like an infectious
disease. We were seeing more
Alzheimer's disease, for
example, and even cancer. So
absolutely. COVID was bad all
around every part of our bodies.
Why
is that? An
Adam Curry: outstanding
question. So why? Why is that,
that all of this happened
because of COVID. And he slips
it in been.
Unknown: And if you were
inoculated, if you had the
vaccine, where you better
protected from from some of
those factors, what was behind
the reason for the uptick in all
of those different ailments?
Right,
such a great question. And
that's exactly what scientists
are trying to get to the bottom
of
Adam Curry: now. It's such a
great question. Scientists are
trying to get to the bottom of
it now, right,
Unknown: because, of course, it
wasn't just that people were
getting infected, and that
infection was killing them. That
infection was also doing other
things to our healthcare system,
for example. So people weren't
doing things like going to the
to the doctor, they were not
getting the cancer screening
that they normally would have.
And in some cases, healthcare
systems were overwhelmed. So
they stopped doing things. She
Adam Curry: could just leave it
at this, but she just goes on
and she reveals, oh,
Unknown: they can just any kind
of preventative, elective
surgeries and other types of,
you know, emergency rooms were
closed, everything was
overwhelmed. So there was
definitely some fallout from
that. But also, your other
question is, is also a very hot
topic and that we saw a lot of
questions today on our tea live.
People want to know how bad were
the vaccines? To what extent was
that contributing, and the
research is really unequivocal
on this? There's no doubt that
vaccines did cause some harm,
but it was far outweighed by the
numbers of lives that were saved
from the vaccinations. That's
the takeaway message, of course,
that that the doctors
scientists, researchers want
everyone to know. Of course it
is troubling if you're the one
on the other end. and had some
kind of a bad side effects from
COVID vaccine just like with any
vaccine, sometimes that does
happen. But again, those
benefits including saving lives
really did offset the risks so
Adam Curry: we saved or created
more lives than we killed. And
that's what doctors want you to
know. It's safe and effective.
It's no it's just coming out now
now they they just had the
reporters are doing it not of
course, on Good Morning America,
America's favorite Doctor Dr.
Jenn. Know we have new New
information has come out. New
stuff has come to light that
explains all of these heart
attacks
Unknown: now to a GMA Health
Alert for the over 48 minutes.
Adam Curry: By the way, it's a
health alert people alert alert
now
Unknown: to a GMA Health Alert
for the over 48 million
Americans who report using
marijuana. A new study found
that daily maybe increasing a
risk of having a heart attack or
stroke. Our CHIEF MEDICAL
CORRESPONDENT Dr. Jennifer
Ashton is here with more doc
tell us about this study. My
friends have two very common
things cannabis use heart
disease. This study done by the
CDC was really looking to answer
the question, is there an
association and after
controlling for key factors like
age, diabetes, tobacco use, what
they found seemed to suggest
that there was seem to suggest
this study found a 25
Adam Curry: just suggest the CDC
the same people who told you
it's safe and effective
Unknown: that there was this
study found a 25% increase odds
of having a heart attack with
daily marijuana users a 42%
higher odds of having a stroke.
Again with daily use loud assess
how you consume it, if you smoke
it over the edibles well,
you sound like you're the
researcher there. They mentioned
this as the limitation of which
there are many in the way they
did this study. They didn't show
an answer between smoking or
vaping or edible use. They need
to do that research. Oh, so
Adam Curry: an edible an edible
give you a stroke. Oh, let's
talk to Ann Thompson over at
NBC. This
Unknown: new study makes it
clear smoking cannabis is like
smoking tobacco. Dangerous to
your heart. B
cannabis is not an innocent
bystander when it comes to
cardiovascular disease.
The
research published in today's
Journal of the American Heart
Association found people who use
cannabis every day primarily
through smoking had a 25%
increased risk of heart attack.
Adam Curry: The interesting
interesting that Dr. Jen didn't
have that study in this lady
appears to have that in the
study. I'm confused 82%
Unknown: increased risk of
stroke compared to nonusers.
This is one of the largest
studies to look at cannabis and
cardiovascular events, reviewing
data from nearly 435,000
Americans. Do you remember
Adam Curry: when they were when
the I may be wrong here but when
when the talk of legalization
was really heating up? And I'm
talking eight, nine years ago,
do you remember there were no
studies on on marijuana? They
just wouldn't do them. Do you
remember that? Am I remember?
There was
John C Dvorak: a big there was
actually even years before that.
There was a 60 minute show and
it was still a good show that
where they had to go to get any
marijuana studies. They had to
go to Israel where they have
just one scientist who was
kicking ass over there. And
there was none of this sort of
thing. We didn't have any cover
up for the vaccine. Yes. This is
a CDC looking for it. Hey,
what's the what's what's
happening society that we can
blame this and well, they
legalized marijuana a few years
ago. That gives me an idea.
Adam Curry: Hey, let's have a
meeting. I know called Dr. Jen
America's favorite doctor. Yeah,
she'll buy it anything.
Meanwhile, controlled.
John C Dvorak: Good find.
Adam Curry: Yeah, well, there's
a good find by their controlled
opportunists. Dr. Phil was out
promoting his book and his
forthcoming Television Network,
which I think launch day we just
launched I'm not sure should be
launching in any day now.
John C Dvorak: Who would know?
We'll never see it. And he's Oh,
remember? Oh,
Adam Curry: wow. I gotta tell
you about Oprah. She She's
leaving the weightwatchers board
and is giving away all of her
stock.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, well, the
stock is collapsing because of
ozempic. Exactly. They felt the
loss something like 80 million
last quarter something Yeah,
huge amount of money.
Adam Curry: I think she also
wants to distance herself from
it. But I think she knows
something. Say I want nothing to
do with it. I only I used it and
I'm ashamed of it. And I gotta
get over the shame and I'm
distancing myself from all of
that. I think she knows that
now. Anyway, so Dr. Phil goes on
the view. And this is good and
schools the ladies and
Unknown: like oh Wait, oh nine
smartphones came on. And, and
kids started, they stopped
living their lives and started
watching people live their
lives. And so we saw the biggest
spike and the highest levels of
depression, anxiety, loneliness
and suicidality, since records
have ever been kept, and it's
just continued on and on and on.
And then COVID hits 10 years
later, and the same agencies
that knew that are the agencies
that shut down the schools for
two years. Who does that, who
takes away the support system
for these children? Who takes
them away to shut it down? And
by the way, when they shut it
down, they stopped the mandated
reporters from being able to see
children that were being abused
and sexually molested, and in
fact, sent them home and abandon
them to their abusers. With no
way to watch and referrals
dropped 50 to 60%. So, yeah,
it was they were trying to say
they were trying to save kids
lives. Remember, we know a lot
of folks who died during this.
It was people were laying
around. But well, you know what,
we're lucky. Maybe we're lucky
they didn't because we kept them
out of the the places that they
could be sick because no one
wants to believe we
are you saying no school
children died of COVID.
I'm saying it was the safest
group. They were the less
vulnerable group. And they
suffered and will suffer more
from the mismanagement of COVID
than they will from the exposure
to COVID. And that's not an
opinion. That's a fact.
We don't even have time to talk
it out.
Adam Curry: I'm sorry, man. By
the time man. Got no time to
talk it out man. Who's the man?
suicidality? Is that an actual
word is a new word? Well, there
is suicidality. A new
Unknown: study details a
troubling increase in the number
of teenagers on antidepressants,
prescriptions have risen by 65%.
Since the pandemic girls make up
the majority of the increase, a
study notes that antidepressants
can be used for many conditions
other than depression and
anxiety.
Adam Curry: Like what what what
are you using it for snuffer
John C Dvorak: as again, you're
so jacked up and go do a school
shooting,
Adam Curry: you know, are useful
for that I got a note boots on
the ground. My wife is a PhD
candidate in psychology, she and
other psychologists have told me
a possible mechanism as to why
SSRIs could cause violence like
school shootings. Before taking
medication, they have children,
they have very little energy.
The medication gives them energy
to get through the day. However,
they say if you combine
depression with a new increased
energy level, this can lead to
suicide for some and even
violent towards others. Just
okay. It's also sick. Here we
were I went looking for that
lawn order clip. I wish someone
could find it
John C Dvorak: is 208. You know,
it's from the it's from the spin
it that clip Ralt let's see what
that was.
Adam Curry: I had the Okay, what
we're looking for a fictional
account of the elites
John C Dvorak: stealing Vax Vax
Adam Curry: parties, and here's
the here's the underlying part
for me. I know a very wealthy
guy in the Netherlands who's
older at the time of COVID. I
think he was 7071. And the way
the Netherlands the way their
vac system was set up, of
course, it's socialized
healthcare. So you have to go
sit in the same room with
everybody else and wait your
turn to see the doctor. But he
threw money acquired not one,
not two, not three, but four
shots. He said I wanted as much
as possible. work. And so we I
was rereading one of Naomi
Wolf's accounts of going back to
New York to the you know, the
the Upper East Side. And she
talks about the same ladies who
were mostly dressed in post
Marxist neat. So the Upper East
Side ladies who lunch too had
been the, the site sinoder of
urban fashion, urbane fashion
who had until recently dress for
every outing to outdo one
another and to champion their
favorite designers would dress
now not even in fashion indeed,
fashion seem no longer to exist.
For 2020 These ladies would have
been in chic blacktail cocktail
dresses, red frogs with low
backs are eggshell white
dresses. Now the same ladies
were mostly dressed in a post
Marxist meet suburban shopper
uniform they were wearing and
they had been wearing in this in
the seven Well similar events
which I attended recently, white
sneakers after Labor Day,
clutching my pearls. They were
comfy black slacks sweaters and
boxy shapes. Ladies who have
been blinded every month at the
most selective salons with
famous signature rich Upper East
Side lady blonding that New York
Magazine often discussed that
would now appear to have thrown
in the towel were sedately fully
grey. And all of these people
were talking about their
ailments. Yeah, but show men
their ailments like oh, I have
this and I've got shingles, I've
got all these different things,
and I have to have an operation.
And you've just so there was a
clip. What would you have titled
that clip? If if you could
remember I
John C Dvorak: didn't get that
clip if I did it it this thing
that this comes from a spin off
law and order that had that guy
with a big butt whatever his
name is on the don't watch it so
I have no idea why you know
about this guy's but I don't
Adam Curry: know about any guys,
but I'm not guys, but
John C Dvorak: I can't remember
his name offhand. But he'd be
somebody in the chat room. I
know he is. He's the main
character in the law and order,
current law and order series.
Not criminal intent, but that
other one, Chicago police, law
and order, okay. And it was
called underworld underground or
something. It was went for about
a year or two. And it was a spin
off law and order that was Law
and Order was about criminals
about gangs. It was about the
mob. And he was he went
underground in this situation
and the domain antagonist in
this series for the first year,
who later became a member of the
FBI. FBI Most Wanted cast. He
was the criminal and he was the
one throwing these parties and
this was a guy to be about.
Right. Within the with during
the year that DevEx was rolled
out. So it's not a new clip, and
it's not going to be easy to
find.
Adam Curry: That's too bad. I
wish we knew. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: Well, the thing
to do is get a hold of the
writer or one of the producers
and ask him where this idea came
from because it had to be
happening in New York, New York
would be
Adam Curry: awesome. I just
totally believe it. I totally
believe it.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, they this
guy was a crook. Stole a
truckload of vaccines. He was
refrigerated truck and he had a
big party with those buddies and
they were all getting faxed.
Yeah.
Adam Curry: All right. So back
to Trump for a minute. Because
the controlled opportunists are
all dragging everybody to the
wrong Battlefield, which is the
funny Willis saga. Which
although funny, I mean Megyn
Kelly, she was just a just Jedi
Jedi about the latest I have
Unknown: here in front of me.
The texts 31 pages of the text
message, text between Ashley
merchant and Terrence Bradley,
we've got him. Oh, we got him.
We've
got them right here. We're gonna
get through them together.
obtained by our guest, Phil
Holloway is breaking big news in
his case and breaks again right
here on the Megan Kelly show.
You heard a couple of them
earlier discussed in the show,
but we're gonna go over them all
in order as they happened. Not
every single one because there's
31 pages we'll be here all day.
But the relevant one again,
these are some of the texts that
Terrence Bradley is now claiming
he was merely speculating about
you. You decide we'll walk you
through them. Oh, please You
decide. My team has been going
crazy on this morning in the
past few minutes trying to get
something in order here hours
and
Adam Curry: hours of text
messages. It's salacious poor
man. Everyone's Oh, yes. Oh,
yeah. And her phone Bluetooth
was Gorilla Grip pussy. Oh wow.
news breaking news.
John C Dvorak: It's funny. The
thing I think I'm gonna start
referring to Fannie Willis as
phony Willis. Because I was
watching you as a show kick. I
don't have a clip from it. But
the show does show have you
watch this? Dershowitz your
show? Yeah, it's called Dirt
show. No, I have not. Yeah, it's
a podcast that his kid produces.
And Dersch just comes on is like
the old school where you see one
guy staring. One guy staring
into a camera and just
pontificating about everything
he can think of, you know, old
style that we used to see on
YouTube more than we do now. And
dersh goes on and on and keep
saying phony Willis, phony
Willis and a kiss himself and he
changes it to Symfonie Rand. And
I just thought it was so funny
because I think phony Willis is
very funny is a good phrase.
Adam Curry: Well, I guess, I
guess the whole point is that
she perjured herself. So so
whatever.
John C Dvorak: Well, they get.
Yeah. Well, my favorite was they
asked that guy is her boyfriend.
He's had some direct questions
that we have the phone cell data
showing that you were at her
house. Yeah. And you were
overnight and they was on and on
and on. And you're telling us
that the phone cell data is not
correct. Okay. The guys with the
straight faces? Yeah, it's
wrong. Okay.
Adam Curry: All right. So I'm
not gonna go down that road.
Because there are actual things
that matter such as the SCOTUS
opinions, the US
Unknown: Supreme Court's
decision to decide whether
Donald Trump is immune from
criminal prosecution. In his
election subversion case, won't
just set a huge historical
precedent. It is hugely crucial
because of its time surely, a
lower court already ruled
unanimously that Trump is not
immune from prosecution for
allegedly trying to overturn the
2020 election, which culminated
in the January sixth capital
attack and outlined by the
special prosecutor last year.
It was fueled by lies lies lies
lies by
the defendant, targeted at
obstructing a bedrock function
of the US government.
Trump argued that being present
at the time granted him
immunity, but the lower court
disagreed. The Supreme Court
could have chosen not to take
this case and let that lower
court ruling stand, but instead
it wants to have the final say
the Supreme Court will start
hearing this case in late April,
and most court watchers think
Trump will lose the case that
the court will agree with the
lower court that Trump is not
immune from prosecution. But
with the final decision not
expected until June. That means
the possible trial for Trump
might not finish much less even
start until after the November
election.
Adam Curry: Well, we have an
opinion from our constitutional
lawyer Rob, which differs a
little bit. And by the way, Rob
is also a ham radio operator, so
he's very trustworthy. We can
trust him. He says,
John C Dvorak: Yes, that's
exactly correct. It's
Adam Curry: like Eagle Scouts,
ham radio guys trustworthy.
John C Dvorak: Yep. Eagle
Scouts, ham radio guys. Same
thing.
Adam Curry: SCOTUS also entered
an accelerated briefing and oral
argument scheduled Trump's
opening brief is due in three
weeks. That's March 19. Jack
Smith answering brief is due on
April 8, and Trump's reply brief
is due April 15th. Oral
arguments will happen the week
of April 22. So here's his
comment. One might be tempted to
say this is good for Trump since
he gets a shortcut to SCOTUS on
a major issue plus one sodas
grant SCOTUS grant cert. It's
typically because it's
contemplating reversing the low
the judgment of the lower court.
But Rob says he's not so sure
this is the case here. As a
criminal defendant Trump
probably wants to slow roll
things of course until the
elections over. This is probably
why exercise the option of
seeking on bonk review at the DC
Circuit. Before petitioning
SCOTUS today's development skips
that step and moves things along
much faster, probably not what
Trump wants. Add to this the
accelerated case schedule, not
only does this move things along
faster still, but it may also
signal that SCOTUS wants to nip
the issue in the bud. That
prospect should troubled Trump's
team. So of course, he says it's
all tea leaf reading on his
part, but this is a, I think a
good analysis from from our ham
radio broadcasting,
constitutional Eagle Scout
lawyer.
John C Dvorak: Well, a couple of
things that have to be noted. If
this goes through that the
President has no immunity
whatsoever and everything he's
responsible for everything he
does, this goes right back to
the war crimes crimes of Bush
and the war crimes of Obama as
specifically the killing of two
American citizens by Fiat when
Obi had that Muslim extremists
who's an American and his son
who was sitting in a cafe killed
by drone strikes, yes, yes.
lockup I was just put this out
and out murder Nakamoto. But,
you know, if you started doing
that, then we're gonna get into
situation like every other
country in South America where
this was the guy gets out of
office, he gets locked up,
Adam Curry: it would make sense.
I mean, this isn't gonna be a
good thing. It would help the
podcast it would make the
podcast very
John C Dvorak: it wouldn't be it
would help the podcast I got to
Trump clips. By the way.
Adam Curry: I just want I hope
they are protecting our Supreme
Court justices, all of them. I'm
a little worried about
Unknown: about some of them.
Adam Curry: You know, they've
read they're really hate
clients. Thomas so much. Now I
remember when they were camping
outside of Justice's houses and
they wouldn't Yeah, and they
weren't doing
John C Dvorak: anything about,
you know, I'm Yeah, Nancy Pelosi
was encouraging it. Yeah. Yeah.
Adam Curry: So I'm just here's
the,
John C Dvorak: here's an anti D
clip on Trump immunity.
Adam Curry: Okay, hold on a
second. Where are you Trump
immunity? Yes. Okay.
Unknown: This is in the DEA. The
Supreme Court has agreed to take
up former President Trump's
immunity claim that justices
will decide whether Trump is
shielded from prosecution and
Special Counsel Jack Smith
federal election case. The case
is currently on pause as Trump
pursues his appealed. The former
president argues that he's
entitled to presidential
immunity for official acts that
occurred while he was in office.
A federal appeals court
previously ruled that Trump does
not enjoy immunity. The High
Court will hear oral arguments
in late April, this will likely
further delay the trial for the
Federal Election case. Yeah,
Adam Curry: this contradicts
contradicts what our our lawyer
here says, then yeah,
John C Dvorak: everybody thinks
is gonna delay things. Now, the
other clip I have is about Trump
and getting money.
Adam Curry: Yes, I am. We also
have an opinion on this from our
lawyer
Unknown: and your appellate
judge today rejecting former
President Trump's request to
pause the $454 million civil
fraud penalty, but Associate
Justice and I'll sing it did
grant Trump's request to stay
other portions of the judgment
stayed the portion of the
decision barring Trump from
running any New York corporation
or applying for loans from the
state's banks for three years.
His decision must still be
affirmed by a full panel of the
mid level state appeals court.
Trump's attorneys had offered a
post a $100 million bond.
Attorney General Letitia James,
who brought the fraud case said
in a response that Trump's
request shows he has
insufficient liquid assets to
satisfy the judgment. But Trump
may find the funds elsewhere, a
potential merger involving true
social could give him access to
billions of dollars. So
Adam Curry: here's So indeed,
the appellate judge did overturn
two important parts of the
points of the three main points
one, the original judgment
barred his son's and others from
running the business and the
lawyer said, Hey, you can't just
pull established management out
of a large global operation,
have strangers run it, that
would be disastrous, and the
appellate judge Singh agreed.
The original judgment barred
Trump's businesses from getting
loans in New York Trump's
lawyers pointed out this would
prevent Trump from ever
obtaining the funds needed for
an appeal bond. And the
appellate judge also agreed to
this however, the judgment that
forced Trump to post an appeal
bond of nearly half a billion
dollars, the foreigner had 60
Give or take. And his lawyers
offered to put up 100 million
and the appellate judge said no.
So Trump needs to come up with
the entire bond amount by
there's a date here, which no
one ever mentions, I really
appreciate what our lawyer does
here. By March 24, he needs to
post the bond on or before that
date. And we were talking about
the 10%. You know, yes, you
might be able to find a bail
bondsman that will will spot him
for her, you know, for $400
million. Let him put up 40
Doubtful though. So he's gonna
have to figure that out
somewhere. It's a lot, a lot of
cash. A lot of cash. And
otherwise, yeah, I think I think
they'll go after his buildings
and really try to destroy him.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I don't
Yeah, ideas one way. I mean,
Biden, if you remember about a
year ago or two years ago, he
said that that's what they're
gonna do to keep Trump when he
was asked, it's not Trump's not
gonna get on the ballot. We're
not gonna let him Yeah,
Adam Curry: they're really
trying. Meanwhile, the the meme
continues that Trump has been
captured, captured by the
Christian nationalists,
John C Dvorak: is whoever they
are. Well, oh, oh,
Adam Curry: the professor at
American University in Paris,
appeared on France 24 and
explained exactly who they are,
despite
Unknown: the litany of criminal
charges he's facing, he's still
very appealing to Republican
voters. How do you
John C Dvorak: explain that?
Well, there are two reasons. One
is ideological, that has to do
with a certain kind of charisma
that he has. But the other is,
in essence, Donald Trump has
been captured by a social
movement, a social movement with
an ideology as well as social
movement, which is called now
Christian nationalism. But
Christian nationalism is more
than a zealous universe of of
closed throughs. It is also an
Oregon Session. It's a
structured organization. Oh,
here we go. It has its policy
organizations like the Heritage
Foundation. It has this legal
foundation like the Federalist
Society. It has its databases.
It has a whole network of
angelical churches all across
the United States with 1000s of
pastors who can who can
Adam Curry: radicalize
John C Dvorak: provide the who
can give the propaganda who
could have Donald Trump, and who
can mobilize the votes and get
them out to vote and
Adam Curry: unlike the
Democrats, using black pastors
and reverence to do their
bidding, but okay,
John C Dvorak: they tried to do
fundraising, Donald Trump is
having problems with
fundraising. Nevertheless, they
have an important fundraising
machine. They can mobilize
voters, they can bring them to
the
Adam Curry: polls. You know, the
problem here, this this
professor, he has never heard of
the Johnson Amendment, which is
in the IRS tax code. I'm very
surprised this professor doesn't
realize President
John C Dvorak: jokes whenever
reporters should call him out on
now, what kind of reporters do
we have here? We all know about
this. I don't think many people
know about the Johnson from the
pulpit, you cannot advise people
how to vote
Adam Curry: no period, no, then
you lose your tax exempt status.
Exactly. That's
John C Dvorak: right. And every
reporter in the world should
know this. And they will pass
Adam Curry: every point or no.
And every pastor, and every
church leader knows this.
John C Dvorak: Course. Yeah.
They do get their IRS tax free
status, which is a major benefit
to a church, it would have
pulled right out from under them
instantly. So this is bull crap.
Yeah.
Adam Curry: Well, there was a
little by
John C Dvorak: the way, the
Heritage Foundation has got
nothing to do. I think it has
nothing to do with Christian
anything. No, I mean, there are
probably a lot of Christians
there. Sure. But they're not a
Christian nationalist front.
Adam Curry: And NPR just just
can't give up. They just can't
give up on the IVF. They're
really, really pushing the
John C Dvorak: row. By the way,
when this technology first
appeared IVF IVF is tested, what
would that refers to? And they
will say it no one has said it
in any of the reporting. And if
you've seen vitro fertilization,
no, they say that but they never
said this is test two babies.
Adam Curry: Oh, which is a great
Wow, how can we should bring
that back?
John C Dvorak: Test two babies,
and the test two babies this
technology to make test two
babies 1959 This is nothing new.
They make it sound like some new
technology that the right wing
tried to quash.
Adam Curry: Here's the NPR just
go on Google gaga over justice
Parker,
Unknown: the Chief Justice in
Alabama. His name is Tom Parker.
I mean, he's been pretty open
about how his interpretation of
Christianity is important to his
job as a judge. Right. But
right, I knew that in your
reply. And you have found that
it goes way beyond that. Can you
tell us how? Oh,
Adam Curry: well, yes, I
Unknown: can't wait. Sure. Yeah,
you know, Christian theology is
very evident and justice
Parker's work. You know, if you
read, for example, the
concurring opinion on the IVF
ruling, it's notable to see that
he quotes extensively from
sources like the book of
Genesis, from the 10
commandments, and from Western
Christian thinkers of centuries
ago, like Thomas Aquinas,
Adam Curry: Thomas Aquinas, no.
Unknown: Aquinas, you know, and
that's a contrast to, for
example, citations from case
study or legal precedent that,
you know, one might expect when
looking at the legal reasoning
of a top judicial officer of
Adam Curry: a state. But that's
not really what the problem is,
is it right, but you know,
actually this she did a good
right there. Love it. Right.
Right. Right, looking at
Unknown: the legal reasoning of
a top judicial officer of a
state. Right. But you know,
actually, this alone isn't what
is drawing attention. Ah,
Adam Curry: are you ready? Are
you ready? How could this judge
have screwed up? What possible
media faux pa could he have
made? That puts him so in the
spotlight of NPR? Do
John C Dvorak: you have any
idea? You use the N word? On
Unknown: the very same day that
the ruling came out? Parker was
a guest on a podcast?
Adam Curry: Oh, no. He was on a
podcast. Oh, boy. And
Unknown: his remarks there
suggest that his theology veers
into what some experts consider
Christian extremism. Whoa, wait,
what
do you mean by Christian
extremism?
John C Dvorak: is so much
anxiousness? What do you mean by
Christian extremism?
Adam Curry: Oh, hold on a
second. This is very interesting
what you're saying
Unknown: here's into what some
experts consider Christian
extremism.
We wait What do you mean by
Christian?
Well, here's a clip of Parker
from that program.
Adam Curry: Get ready for some
extremism.
Unknown: God created good
Government and the fact that we
have let it go into the
possession of others. It's
heartbreaking for those of us
who understand, and we know it
is for him. And that's why he is
calling and equipping people to
step back into these mountains
right now.
Adam Curry: Oh, no, this guy's
an extremist.
John C Dvorak: I didn't call it
against Catholic teachings that
Satan created governments but
that's Is that true? Is that
debatable? Is that? Is that
Catholic doctrine? I just made
it up. Well, it makes sense to
me
Adam Curry: Well, I thought that
our Declaration of Independence
is these are your inalienable
rights given to us by God.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, the rights
are but the government wasn't.
That's why they had to write all
these these rights to be written
out because the government's
bad. Exactly.
Adam Curry: Oh, my goodness. I
love NPR. Send your money. Get a
tote bag, everybody. That's why
this we should be doing. Oh man.
Oh, man. Oh, man. These people
just crazy.
John C Dvorak: Let's see, uh,
you know, just want to change
gears real quick. And yeah, for
just a short second. About the
Texas fire.
Adam Curry: Yeah, yeah,
definitely.
Unknown: The raging wildfire is
rampaging across the Texas
panhandle, threatening homes,
farms and businesses and forcing
residents to evacuate. The fire
has also prompted the closure of
a plant that dismantles nuclear
weapons entities. Cristina
Corona gives us an update on the
Blace.
The wildfires began at
approximately 2:20pm Monday
throughout northern Texas and
scorched through 250,000 acres
in just 28 hours. It's becoming
the second largest in the
state's history.
At this time. We have fire crews
from all over the state
mobilizing for performance
suppression and search and
recovery efforts. The process
will likely takes several days
to complete stroke
said the information is limited
due to some areas still being
affected by fire and some are
not able to be accessed safely.
We have
had fire crews out for the last
48 hours plus I believe so many
of them don't sleep they're
doing here in
Texas Governor Greg Abbott
declared a state of disaster for
60 counties mobilizing state
resources to support local
firefighters. The largest
current Blaze is the smokehouse
Creek fire that has scorched
more than 500,000 acres of land
the blaze spread from Texas into
neighboring Roger Mills County
in western Oklahoma where
officials encouraged people in
the area to fleet one Texas
resident who had to evacuate
from one town to another
multiple times said it went from
smoke billowing in
that was white to the sunshine
coming through that looked like
we were engulfed in flames all
around it looked like our town
was just being engulfed a
Adam Curry: little drop out
there your back right
John C Dvorak: yeah
Adam Curry: let me talk about
THIS IS MY slow
John C Dvorak: before you do I
do want to play the second half
which is the good part about the
A bombs because this was unknown
to me that up there in Texas in
the Panhandle is we're holy a
bombs are made I had Did you
know this?
Adam Curry: Yes. I didn't. You
did? I did. Well, I don't know
about a bombs. You make you make
it sound very Oppenheimer ish.
John C Dvorak: But yeah, so
yeah, well open.
Adam Curry: Nuclear nuclear
facility. Yes,
John C Dvorak: panto Can we play
this? Yeah, here it is a Pantex
Unknown: plant near Amarillo
evacuated non essential stuff
Tuesday night. The plan is the
main us site for atomic bomb
assembly and disassembly, which
completed its last new bomb in
1991 and has dismantled 1000s
Since authorities have not said
what ignited the fires or how
many homes have been destroyed,
but strong winds dry grass and
in seasonably warm temperatures
fed the blazes.
Adam Curry: Okay. So first of
all, I know a lot about this.
Texas limb is from there. He's
up there now. He almost had to
evacuate his mom. It's it's not
the worst fire they've ever had
is one of the worst for sure.
The really just a lot of cattle
up there. So the really tough
part is, well, people were able
to, you know, save a lot of
cattle, but you got 600 cows and
no grass for them to eat. So
people are desperately trying to
find places anywhere further
south where they can let their
cows eat. So that's a real
problem. Now, immediately, this
is always interesting. Two
narratives pop up. One is HAARP.
Of course the government. Yeah,
they're burning it down, you
know Abbott's doing this about
the border.
John C Dvorak: These are HAARP
Nowhere near the border no
Adam Curry: I know but it's you
know, it's to distract from the
border or whatever. The second
one is climate change. Of course
it's climate change is what
happens with climate change. And
I do have a clip here of a
typical Panhandle Texan. I tried
to filter it a little bit so you
can hear what he says. If not, I
will. I will reiterate it in
this report. Listen
Unknown: to this heading into
the infernos. This was the scene
that greeted firefighters in
Greenville as they responded to
the second biggest wildfire in
Texas is history. An emergency
has been declared in 60 counties
across the most northern part of
the state to towns have been
evacuated, and many homes and
businesses destroyed. Texas has
seen record high temperatures in
the past few days. And parts of
the Panhandle are described as
abnormally dry. That combined
with strong winds have resulted
in the ferocity of the blazes
earlier the fastest spread
across the Texas border into the
neighboring state of Oklahoma,
where there have also been
evacuations were in
zone and Fars.
Adam Curry: Call it climate
change. So I know it's hard to
hear. But this is a Texan. He
says that they're saying it's
climate change. But I won't
because I'm not woke what
happens every year.
Unknown: Every year, the biggest
concern has been for the Pantex
plant, a nuclear weapons
facility, which had to close
temporarily. However, it has now
reopened for normal operations
and respite for all affected
areas is on the way. Thursday's
forecast is for rain and even
snow.
Adam Curry: No. Yeah, it went
from we had 80 Almost 90 degrees
here two days ago. And this
morning, it was 36.
John C Dvorak: You had to do but
before you had that hot weather
it was 29. I
Adam Curry: know I have no it
was it was that hard. It's hard
for climate change or something.
It happens these this happens.
The ever since I've been in
Texas in Austin, and we get bad
fires when it's dry. And then
all of a sudden you get a little
bit of hot weather. You just
need one and you have winds the
winds are real.
John C Dvorak: Let's nobody
wants to talk about this. You
have people setting these fires
for sure. Fire bugs out there.
And you also had creeps and
terrorists, nut jobs and
disgruntled people on SSRIs. And
who knows what else? Yes,
Adam Curry: yes. All right, I
want to talk about the border a
little bit. I have a well,
first, let's talk about the
reason for the border. Yes,
John C Dvorak: the reason for
the borders, keep the country
separate. One country is on one
side of the border and one's on
the desk. And
Adam Curry: the reason that we
have people coming through the
border just Oh, stepping over
the line and popping in is
because the financial elites in
the United States know that we
need to grow in population. This
is not the trend globally, the
trend is not growth. China is
not growing. The EU is not
growing. The bankers have said
to me verbatim we win as long as
we keep adding to our
population. So keep the borders
wide open. That is that is the
sole reason in my mind that
these things are open. And if
you listen to what's happening
in New York, whereas we're here
it is it what we
John C Dvorak: just say since
you brought to the bankers and
by the way, we should note that
the Democrat Party has become a
banker's party. Oh, yeah. Since
Hillary Clinton, yes. And so
they do the bidding of the bank
banks of the bankers and this is
the end this the Democrat Party
doing it and they're the ones
responsible for this current
overflow.
Adam Curry: The former New York
banker who was a Democrat, told
me in no uncertain terms
multiple times we win because
our population grows. How does
it grow? Well, not to our
children because we're putting
them on hormone blockers or
we're scaring them with climate
change. It's growing because
we're letting good people across
the border. And when New York
gets full, we just give them
jobs. Sandra
Unknown: again, Mayor Adams is
taking a look at the city's
sanctuary laws to address the
migrant crisis. This time. He's
focused on crime and public
safety and the city's ability to
collaborate with ice to address
those issues. But speaking with
the City Council Speaker earlier
today, she says it's a
nonstarter that jobs is the
answer, not jail.
We are not considering laws,
changes to laws. These laws have
been in effect for decades.
New York City Council Speaker
Adrienne Adams Wednesday
standing behind the city's
sanctuary laws saying they were
enacted for a reason to protect
innocent immigrants who
historically have felt
threatened because of their
status. Okay,
Adam Curry: so jobs just jobs.
Hoko says jobs we're gonna get
them jobs. We're gonna get them
jobs. They need jobs. They're
here Your sanctuary city will
get them jobs. That's all just
gonna get them jobs. Europe has
the same issue. The European
Union is in decline. The people
are getting older, there's no
one to take care of the, you
know, there's no younger
generation coming up. And by the
way, they're all God about
abortion over there. The French
just enshrined in their
constitution, the right to
abortion. Here's the
international plan, parent,
parenthood, foundation lady and
on France 24. Yes,
Unknown: the International
Planned Parenthood is a global
service provider and an advocate
for sexual rights
Adam Curry: services provider. I
provide a service software as a
service we
Unknown: have we work in more
than 145 countries. And here in
France, we have a member
Association, they use color
printing feminine.
Now your reaction to that vote
at the Senate. I mean, there
were people who thought perhaps
the bill might get blocked by
the Senate, but not a bit of it.
It went through by an
overwhelming majority. How do
you respond to that? Yeah,
to be honest, at the beginning,
we were scared because there
were a lot of pushback. But as
you can see, by my smell, we
Adam Curry: will not listen,
listen, listen to what she said.
Just stepping into that. Yeah,
Unknown: to be honest, at the
beginning, we were scared
because there were a lot of
pushback. But as you can see, by
my smile, we are delighted and
what happened tonight is history
being made and they love
Adam Curry: it. We love it.
Abortion is great, we're happy.
So their their their population
is going down. Now let's look at
some other countries, Japan,
Unknown: there are no enough
babies being born in Japan. For
the eighth year running births
are at a record low and by the
largest margin ever 2023. So the
number of births 5.1% to just
over three quarters of a
million. The number of people
tying the knot was also down on
the 490,000 got hitched. That's
a drop of 5.9%. This is the
first time in 90 years marriages
fell below half a million and
suggests the population may
continue to drop. As births out
of wedlock are rare. In Japan,
the number of deaths is also
contributing to the population
crisis. The number last year was
a record 1.6 million. So
challenging co uk decline
of births is in the state of
crisis within the next six years
up until the 2030s. When the
population of the young
generation is expected to
decline rapidly. It's a last
chance to see if the declining
birth rate trend can be
reversed. And I believe we are
at a time when we have to take
urgent measures.
Those measures include expanding
child benefits and childcare
leave allowances, and to promote
wage hikes for younger workers
to enable them to get married.
Adam Curry: So Japan is on the
verge of extinction. And Justin
and they're only now saying oh,
maybe we should do something
about it. We should just
stimulate that. By the way.
Japan, completely Vaxxed nation,
completely masked nation. The
elders are very important in the
child rearing process. They take
care of the children during the
day they live younger, younger
couples live with their with
their parents, the grandparents
take care of the kids, they're
dying. I have no idea why but
the old people are dying much
quicker than they used to. And
by the way, those incentives
don't always work. Let's check
in with South Korea,
Unknown: who was already the
country with the world's lowest
birth rate, that South Korea's
fertility rate has plunged to a
record low according to the
country's official data, further
deepening its demographic
crisis.
There were 230,000 births in
2023, a decrease of 7.7% from
the year before that the total
fertility rates recorded during
a woman's reproductive life was
zero point 72 down from zero
point 78 The previous year.
fertility rate of 0.72 is far
below the 2.1 per woman needed
for South Korea to maintain a
steady population, with the
country's 51 million population
size on track to have by the end
of this century, puts pressure
on health services due to an
aging population. New data
defies the billions of dollars
in government schemes since
2006. To try and reverse the
longtime trend and persuade
people to have more children
that South Koreans in their 20s
and 30s point to soaring
property prices skyrocketing
child rearing costs and career
advancement worries as factors
that delay or halt they're
family planning
Adam Curry: 0.7 That country is
going out of style there will
there will be no South Korea
North Korea wins I guess. So
this is the real problem and we
have in the United States are
talked about the EU in the
United States we have the exact
same problem. Exact oh it's too
expensive now is not the right
time. And fertility rates are
down because we're eating soy
and plastic and chemicals and
anything but but the hell is an
John C Dvorak: ester virgin?
Yeah, analog
Adam Curry: frogs gay. It's bad.
Well, that's
John C Dvorak: that's
Adam Curry: Atrazine. So all of
this is bad, bad, bad. So this
is why your borders are open
unless we unless we start
pumping like bunny rabbits and
start making kids, it will not
stop because the financial
elites of the world commanded so
and they and they own the
politicians. So now let's talk
about what's coming across the
border. The Chinese men of
military age is going to be an
army they're going to kill us
from the inside is horrible.
They're all spies. No, some may
be spies. And the guy who
answered these questions was
John C Dvorak: little, by the
way, most of the spies are
spying on the other on the
Chinese, not us.
Adam Curry: miles you was the
China adviser to Pompeo when
Pompeo was Secretary of State
remember that during the Trump
administration? So he goes on C
span. And I think he, he lays it
out really well, the main
reasons why people from China
are coming into the United
States,
Unknown: what's the cause of
this huge influx? Okay, so
this is a, this is a crisis,
storm. First of all, China's
economy is in big trouble. So
the youth unemployment is really
huge. Somewhere around 21% to
45%. My estimate says, That
sounds like you're no agenda
show. So and also, in the last
10 years on our CG beans rule. A
lot of people feel very
repressed. So the number of
people are fleeing China has
increased dramatically. In 2013,
when she first came to power,
people from China applying for
political asylum in the United
States was about 24 25,003 years
later today, that number
quadrupled, to about 100,000. So
there is a push factor inside
China. There's also the the pool
factor that is United States is
by far the most generous country
accepting immigrants. So of
course, there's also opportunity
that is our border has been
porous, our politicians were
basically, you know, in the
political paralysis state didn't
know what to do. So that created
a lot of opportunities for the
Chinese who want to get out of
China. And also don't forget,
China is also a communist
country is a has a massive
security and intelligence
apparatus. So this is
opportunity for them to also to
explore this, this open border
and to get the infiltration into
the United States. So it's
really combination of
manufacturers and also the sort
of Central American countries
most prominently Ecuador provide
this. This sort of mechanism by
which that Chinese national
could hop on a plane and, and
landed in Ecuador, with a free
so from there, they make the
long journey to the southern
border of the United States.
That's why there's such a surge
in Chinese illegal border
crossings.
Adam Curry: So before I go to
the next clip, two bits of news
from IO m dot i n t, the
international office of
migration run by a former State
Department. Creep, creep, IOM
and UNHCR welcome Ecuador's
moved to regular lies, refugees
and migrants, strengthening
national what
John C Dvorak: I was just gonna
say we have to remember that
Ecuador has been captured. It
was captured some time ago, when
they booted out the president
duly elected and pushed them the
American sympathetic guy who
also kept Assange from ever
going to Ecuador, where he
wanted to escape to, and they're
just basically are puppets. And
so whatever they're doing is
because of what we told them to
do.
Adam Curry: And that is the
international office of
migration from the United
Nations. They are pushing
regular, regular, regular arised
regular because it's not legal
or illegal. It's regular. It's
regular, regular, so they, so
they are promoting this, it is
our money. They are US money
going into that organization to
promote this. But let's blame it
on tick tock. My
Unknown: understanding is
there's like tick tock videos
out there about here's how you
get to the US. Here's where you
can cross in there's a hole in
this fence or this this barrier,
whatever.
So there's where there's a
demand. There is obviously a
enterprise to explore this kind
of with demand. So there is a
lot of middlemen that are
organized such a massive exodus
from China. And so, the largest
Chinatown, for example, It was
Adam Curry: hard to hear, but I
want to repeat what he says the
largest Chinatown is not New
York is not San Francisco. No,
it's in Ecuador,
Unknown: a massive exodus from
China. And so the largest
Chinatown, for example, is not
in New York, in London, not in
Toronto is in Quito, Ecuador,
where a lot of Chinese nationals
are Landrover, that are visa
free. And you have this a well
organized organization, some of
the Chinese a lot of locals, and
to provide this kind of
facilities, and it took to make
the journeys, very long journey,
you have to land over there. And
they'll get out of Ecuador and
crossed countries like Colombia,
and then Panama, and then Costa
Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras,
Guatemala, and New Mexico and
they go to Arizona, Texas and
California and happen Uber chose
this is basically a well
organized enterprise. So the
this is one of the reasons why
it's a skos. A massive and the
the this surge is continuing. So
it's very worrisome. Yeah.
Adam Curry: What he didn't
mention is the lie that oh,
they're going through the Darien
Gap. They're trudging through
the mud. No. They're hopping
flights. It's organized. There's
charters, there's families, they
got Chinatown. There's
organization. It's a pathway
with the final bid being an Uber
to the border. Right outside
California. Hop in. So the final
clip here, he does indeed say
John C Dvorak: this a good good
catch. By the way,
Adam Curry: I was amazed when I
saw this guy, I've actually told
Toller I think I found this for
me. It's C span. He's our C span
guy. He's he's really watching
all those Colin shows. And so
there is a level of CCP
possibility of course. Because,
you know, we have CCP
operatives, just like their CIA
operatives in Russia and China
on I'm sorry, we killed that
China they got killed in China.
But that's how it works. I mean,
every country has spies
registered unregistered is just
a fact of life. The the
irregular, the irregular
migrants does have a benefit to
some CCP activity. Of course,
you
Unknown: said that the Chinese
government would exploit the
situation to infiltrate the
United States. Can you explain
what you mean by that?
Well, there's many legal ways or
we have lots of immigration
flaws. Some of our immigration
policies, particularly passport
issuing is just amazingly mad.
Now listen to this. So if you're
a Chinese national, you're
holding the challenge of
passport, but you qualify for
some for become to become a
citizen of the United States,
either through marriage or
through your own talent. And the
you're entitled for a US
passport. And the US government
with the issue of password
without asking whether you still
have a Chinese passport or not.
So as a result, we have a lot of
Chinese nationals who are
holding American passport, as
well as a Chinese passport. So
that's basically one of the
legal ways they could explore
this, this openness by the
Chinese sort of malign factors,
intelligence and security
apparatus. This one obviously,
is more lucrative for the
Chinese because if you cross
border illegally, and the
registration, they're tracing
mechanism, obviously illegally
cross the Chinese nationals will
be far less effective. So it's
much harder to track them. So
that's one reason why this is a
very good opportunity for for
the Chinese state actors to
exploit.
Adam Curry: Yeah, the last thing
they're going to do is try and
kill us from the inside with the
military aged men. And the
answer to all of this is make
babies get married, start a
family, make babies. That's it.
That's it. That's all we need to
do. It's the easiest thing in
the world. We know how to do it.
Everyone knows how to do it.
John C Dvorak: It kind of been
dissuaded by the educational
system of this country is just
socialists who like the whole
country to be taken over by
socialism.
Adam Curry: Maybe Marxism to be
more specific, but yeah, yes,
John C Dvorak: I'm sorry, I
shouldn't even use socialism
anymore. And we
Adam Curry: have the rainbow
guard who makes sure that
everyone's on point. That's our
version of Mao's Red Guard. We
have the rainbow guard here.
Yeah, which is I was thinking
about all this work stuff. Yeah.
This Do you remember? I think
that this started this really
ramped up in 2015 was something
that we ignored for the longest
time, which was GamerGate. I
really think that's where this
started. Well, I
John C Dvorak: take it certain
long before that. I'll
Adam Curry: agree I'll agree but
it really I was lectured
John C Dvorak: at About
politically correct. When I
first started when I first the
editor at InfoWorld, in the
early 80s 1981, this this is a
good story tell this story. And
I was told about the idea. Well,
I had been I had mistakenly used
a word in an editorial. I was
writing these editorials for the
magazine. Yes.
Adam Curry: What word was it?
The word was deviant.
John C Dvorak: deviant, the word
is deviant. The word was
deviant. And the word deviant
was a trigger word in 1981. For
the Bucha, it was a trigger
word. And it was a slur against
gays deviant. Yeah. Wow. And
then, of all people who've been
she was a writer for 20 plus
years, the New York Times John
Markoff gave me a lecture about
politically correct language.
Wow. And and that's what the
term was, was politically
correct. And I never heard this
before. He says, Yeah, he's no
big deal. And he goes on and on
about it. And I had made a
mistake by using this word. It
was it had nothing to do with
sexuality or anything else. I
use it in some other context.
But the content doesn't matter.
Because you use the word. And so
I got, you know, your letters
came in. I mean, I got no
letters from writing the column
for PC magazine years later,
who's on first? Kind of mocking
Chinese names? No problem.
Adam Curry: Hey, but did the
gays lash out at you? Yeah.
John C Dvorak: They did. Yeah,
that was my first experience
getting lashed out at now, if
this was done in a modern
context I'd had been
marginalized to to an extreme.
Luckily, I, you know, it never
got any further than the use of
that one word one time in 1981.
And then learning about
political correctness in 1981.
Right, oh, this goes back. This
went on for a long time.
Adam Curry: I agree. I agree.
But now we're talking nine years
ago. GamerGate gamified, the
whole D platforming game. I
think that's really when all of
that started. That
John C Dvorak: could be you
know, I don't have a better
example than my obscure one D
Adam Curry: platforming is a
game. It's like how far can I
push everything until I get
cancelled? Or D platformed? Or
demonetised? Or whatever?
John C Dvorak: Yeah.
demonetized. It was is it's
Christmas. It's a game. It's a
game you first you get
demonetised and you get
reprimanded, and you get the
platform, then you get kicked
off, and then you get it one
thing after another. Yeah.
Adam Curry: According to the
Daily wire, the Los Angeles
School District is a pipeline
for the trans youth clinic. The
what the Los Angeles Unified
School District is a pipeline
has a pipeline for it to the
trans youth clinics. So
bypassing the parents for
medical intervention,
John C Dvorak: sterilization, do
you have to bypass the parents,
you're not going to get
anywhere, which is where
Adam Curry: the rainbow guard
comes in. This is exactly what
happened in in my lifetime in
the Maoist China is exactly what
happened. And all those kids all
looked to the androgynous and
they and they wound up killing
their parents.
John C Dvorak: A lot of them
giving their teachers killing
everybody. Yeah, it was a moment
in time. That was quite
fascinating. It unless you were
in China, unless you're in
China.
Adam Curry: Not all that fast.
So
John C Dvorak: if we're out here
looking at it, wow, these guys
are nuts. So now
Adam Curry: we gotta go to the
AI, which has been severely
affected by this. In particular,
Gemini, the latest rebrand of
Google barf. And now of course,
we all saw it was pretty funny.
They actually let me play this.
Matt Taibbi clip because he has
a good testimony about this
Unknown: last week Google's much
ballyhooed new AI tool, Gemini
became a national punch line
company engineers built an AI
that apparently couldn't or
wouldn't draw white faces,
resulting in images like Pope
Viking in 1943, German soldier
that were reimagined as
preposterous ly inspired reboots
is Gemini about controversies
involving various famous
politicians. I don't know how to
answer that a kept saying, when
I asked the same question about
myself, it sped out a long list
of episodes but articles with
titles like the great California
Water heist, and Glenn Beck's
war on comedy to describe racist
remarks. I apparently made an
accusations of anti semitism
after I supposedly described
Nestle executives as having
noses like giant penises,
please, I thought none of this
ever happened. I never wrote any
of those articles. They don't
exist, Google explained. Gemini
is a creativity tool and may not
always be accurate. Just think
Gemini shows the awesome
dystopian possibilities of AI.
Forget the funny historical
errors it creates instant deep
fake compromised about real
people like me and probably like
You. So
Adam Curry: we have boots on the
ground inside Google, I verified
this source as someone who could
actually know and writes very
short. Hey, Adam, I work at
Google and On Gemini, in case
you're wondering how Gemini
produces black revolutionary war
generals and other diverse
results, it's through a layer
that rewrites your query. If you
write quote, show me pictures of
Vikings, it will be rewritten as
quote, show me a diverse picture
of Vikings, including a black
male in a wheelchair. He says
this is an actual example. I
verified via internal tooling. I
believe this is happening a lot
at Google. I think rewriting
queries happens a lot. And it
wouldn't surprise me this is
exactly what went down.
Unknown: But why broke?
Adam Curry: Why why any of this?
Why? Why?
John C Dvorak: I, it seems to me
that you don't want to do this.
it cheapens the results. It
ruins the product, it gives you
a bad reputation. There's
nothing good comes out of it.
No, Google hasn't didn't benefit
from this ridiculous nonsense at
all. Basically, I think they did
hurt him. Of course
Adam Curry: it did. They had no
business being in this business.
That just
John C Dvorak: we have to go
back to the basics about Google.
They're a antisocial and a
social nerd system. There are
people that don't even socialize
amongst themselves. Yes. And
they don't you know, they
couldn't do it with their
Facebook clone, they couldn't do
it with their Twitter clone,
they can't do it. They always
make these these these mistakes
of a person who is not a
socialized individual. They're
they're not socialized properly
there. There's just nature of
the of the of the beast, and
there's no getting around it.
And this shows what happens when
you give them free rein. So they
need they need adult
supervision.
Adam Curry: Something struck me,
we have there's an entire
generation, perhaps we're on our
second generation. And they've
grown up on one thing search.
And the goal is information.
It's not even good information.
It's just that's the goal,
search, get a result. The whole
that's the whole generation
search, search, Yelp, Search,
Google, search, YouTube, Search,
Search, Search, search and just
give me information. I think
this is a problem.
John C Dvorak: There's no
solution to this problem that
you created, or you just that,
you know, identified let's No,
no, no, I
Adam Curry: Well, no, I don't
think so. I mean, they're,
they're, of course, they're
really searching for connection,
but they're getting information.
And that, you know, that's like
their that's it. Just search.
I'll just search it. It's not
good. It's not good. We do it on
the show. Yeah, but But you
know, we already made children.
We're successful. We've, we've,
we've done our business. And
let's see how else children are
being hurt in America schools.
It's
Unknown: the latest incident of
a new and insidious form of
bullying. A group of students at
a Beverly Hills Middle School
creating deep fake pornographic
images of their classmates
swapping the faces of their
peers onto pictures of nude
bodies. I'm very disappointed.
The school alerting parents
after the images were shared
amongst students via text.
Beverly Hills police are now
assisting in the investigation.
This is new unchartered
territory when it comes to
information being created and
disseminated.
There disturbing incident
happening just weeks after fake
nude images of Taylor Swift
appeared online District
Superintendent Michael braggy
sees a connection
do believe that that played they
do believe in our students
becoming aware of what's
possible with the technology.
This technology
is easy to use and so easily
accessible. They can get it
right on their phones
instantaneously, create content
and then send it anywhere. Ai
still so new, this all falls
into a legal gray area. Experts
say it's still unclear if the
fake images are even child
pornography. Why are there not
more legal protections to
prevent this type of incident
from happening right now?
This is one of the situations
where law is oftentimes chasing
after technology.
A federal bill aims to
criminalize sharing sexually
explicit deep fake photos but it
stalled in Congress. Yes, of
course.
Adam Curry: It's like this is
new. It's like not even
John C Dvorak: close to being
new. This is going on once Adobe
Photoshop was released in 1987.
I might add these started to
happen and ever since I started
with Microsoft Paint
Adam Curry: I know I made Some
great images and Microsoft Paint
John C Dvorak: well you can do
with any of these things GIMP
when it came out you could do it
again. Get again Oh, the point
is is that you could do this but
it was hard now you could just
do it with a prompt I mean yeah
like now it's lazy man's version
make so and so you know. And by
the way it's the Taylor Swift
stuff some of this stuff to
Taylor Swift stuff is hilarious.
A lot of areas worth looking
into.
Adam Curry: Mark Wagner says
it's hilarious is think there's
another AI fake clip here from
Good Morning America. My
Unknown: name is Carolyn mullet
and I'm a ninth grader is called
High School
despite being the daughter of
Washington State Senator Mark
mullet. This was Caroline's
first time in front of her state
legislature. This
Adam Curry: is like babies
getting thrown out of incubators
us style like bring your kid and
make your kid that testify about
this we can pass a law
Unknown: at our homecoming dance
last year a member of our class
took pictures of my female
friends and then posted them
online using AI. Easy I show my
friends faces but then filtered
their bodies to make them appear
nude
Caroline's friends had become
victims of deep fakes,
manipulated photos, videos or
audio created using artificial
intelligence that appear real
over the last year as AI has
become more accessible. Deep
fakes have become more
prevalent, with targets ranging
from political figures to
celebrities like Taylor Swift,
to high schoolers. This week,
reports of students creating and
sharing nude AI generated
pictures of other students at a
Beverly Hills Middle School has
led to a police investigation.
So used to be you needed
hundreds and 1000s of images.
Now you need a single image of
somebody that's been about in
the last year, there is zero
barrier to entry. Now, you don't
need skill. You don't need
money. You don't need time and
you don't need effort.
And under the current Washington
State law, if someone's images
used to make pornographic
content without their consent,
there's no legal recourse. Which
is why last month 15 year old
Caroline felt compelled to
testify on behalf of her friends
to support a bill that will
change that.
I'm just glad that now it might
become a law. So it will ensure
that things like this won't
happen again.
Adam Curry: I find this from a
legal perspective. I find it
very interesting. Of course, I
see the point with children and
minors, but in general, is this
not literal free speech that is
being exercised? Here? I'm
speaking a prompt. It is
creating a caricature. It is
John C Dvorak: not my it's not
my fault. You know that you can
also say what isn't the company
who produced the image? In other
words, some some system, some
websites, something sent you the
image. They're the ones
responsible now in the olden
days when I was a kid, if you go
back to the 70s, you pornography
was generally illegal. It wasn't
until Clinton came around it all
of a sudden the good old laws
gotten relaxed. Yeah,
Adam Curry: they sure did.
John C Dvorak: But then,
pornography used to be illegal.
Adam Curry: But I guess my point
is, so what if they wanted to
put your head on the body of a
dog? Or have a chimpanzee? Oh,
no, let's, if we put a black
person's head on the body of a
chimpanzee. I mean, where does
the law go? is only about nude
pictures? And it's obviously not
not that person is just their
head. Just Taylor Swift have a
case? I mean, what are we really
trying to do? I don't want to
sound I'm trying not trying to
sound like a creek like, Oh,
it's good to do this. But at a
certain certain point,
John C Dvorak: like fun kid.
Adam Curry: Where do you stop? I
mean, where does it stop? How
far can this go?
John C Dvorak: And well, we're
gonna find out during this next
election cycle.
Adam Curry: Yeah, you're right.
You're right. And none of it's
good.
John C Dvorak: Because it's
gonna be pretty gross. By the
time we get to, I'd say
September, October. We're gonna
have a lot of this going on.
We're gonna have some stuff that
is going to be hilarious.
Adam Curry: To say the least.
Well, that you bring that up.
But yes, part two of this clip
series.
Unknown: Now that bill in
Washington state that Caroline
testified for is expected to be
voted on later today on the
State Senate. If it passes, like
it did unanimously in the house,
it will go to the governor to
become law. But again, this is
one state and the internet is
stateless. It's everywhere.
Exactly. I don't have to tell
you where our election year
Yeah, so a lot of bad actors out
there. How can you protect
yourself?
Well, it's scary and there
really is no silver bullet
solution here. These companies
have come together and said
they're going to work towards
misinformation. But the bottom
line for a consumer of
information every person who is
watching right now is that you
really do have to be skeptical.
I often say buyer beware in my
stories. And the reality is the
buyer has to be aware here too.
You have to think about who is
the source? Where did this thing
originate? How is it being used,
and be skeptical and seek out
more information? If you see the
one image on someone's Facebook
or Instagram or Twitter page,
look and see where else it's
coming from?
How did it begin?
Oh, yes,
Adam Curry: this is good
information. Thank you. It's
very helpful. I don't know man.
We got we got parades where
everyone's dancing around naked.
Looking like men looking like
women, women looking like men.
It's all good. It's encouraged
is great. And then oh, we have
someone prompted as horrible.
This information, calling,
calling Dylan Mulvaney a woman
that's disinformation. There's
your disinformation. Admiral
Levine. This information that's
confusing to children.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, who am I?
Yeah. As you'd like to put it,
you have the phrase dude in a
dress.
Adam Curry: Do dress? Yes. There
was one. There's a couple dev
two more fun stories. And this
one, let me see. I think I have
Yes, the series from NBC that I
think this really tells you
where we're at in our economy,
with our our intake our food,
what we eat, what we're
concerned about in life, and
this is the dynamic pricing at
when
John C Dvorak: this by the way,
this has become a baseline issue
for most news networks at this
point. And it came up I was
watching some stuff this morning
and they came up with I guess
Burger King is going to start
dynamic pricing. This is to me
just before you play the clips
This is least expected clips I
would predict I think dynamic
pricing is a way to to make an
excuse for deflation
Adam Curry: thank you this
exactly this is an economic
issue. I'm I'm thinking that
these but
John C Dvorak: let me say this
deflation is the world's is the
most dangerous word in finance.
The
Adam Curry: most dangerous thing
you can have super
John C Dvorak: dangerous.
Adam Curry: How dangerous super
birthday super, super, super
super duper goes. Yes. Now I
believe the the morning shows
are only talking about this
because they're paid. These are
advertisements. It could be
trial balloons for these
companies. But here's the story.
The latest
Unknown: Baconator isn't the
only new item hitting Wendy's
menu, the fast food giant
planning to test out dynamic
pricing as early as 2025. It's a
practice that charges different
prices for the same items based
on demand throughout the day.
For example, a cheeseburger and
fries could cost you more during
the lunch rush than during a
down period.
I wouldn't ever expect that a
fast food restaurant to do this
on
a call with investors. Wendy's
CEO Kirk Tanner says his company
will invest $20 million on
digital menu boards, allowing
customers to see the updated
prices
beginning as early as 2025 we
will begin testing more enhanced
features like dynamic pricing
and Daypart offering along with
AI enabled menu changes and
suggested selling
Adam Curry: is this just an AI
play? Is this his this Wendy's
like hey man, let's get our
stock up. I know, let's tell him
we're gonna use AI for dynamic
pricing. Juniors the boss is
great
Unknown: changes and suggested
selling
fast food restaurants already
dealing with blowback on soaring
prices from their customers as
stories of $18 Big Macs and $7
Egg McMuffins at McDonald's went
viral. Now adding dynamic
pricing to the mix could
potentially be damaging to the
industry.
I don't think anyone's gonna pay
extra for the exact same thing
that they were getting for less.
In fact, one survey finding 36%
of consumers would order less
often from restaurants adopting
the practice, we'll have to be
really careful about not
angering consumers who are
already kind of inflation weary.
That's actually what's made the
industry very sort of hesitant
to dive fully in. There are
definite risks involved. And
they really don't want to anger
customers.
Adam Curry: So, the news program
and models make an argument that
our life is already filled with
dynamic pricing.
Unknown: But these fluctuating
prices are nothing new to
inflation fatigued consumers who
are used to seeing surging
prices on everything from
airlines to concert tickets,
like Taylor Swift eras, tour
ticket master drama,
Adam Curry: there's always
Unknown: been $899 per ticket,
dynamic craziness, the word and
right Shares like Lyft and Uber
notoriously faced backlash from
consumers when riders see
unexpected costs using
Ubers. Like eight $10. Tonight,
it was like 50 Some of them
books. A little did I know about
surge price.
But experts say this is a rare
move from the fast food
industry, which has been
hesitant to sink its teeth into
varying prices. This would be a
big deal for restaurants. If
this was widely adopted, it's
really going to depend on how
customers react, even customers
are okay with it, you'll see
more of it. And if Wendy's test
doesn't work, for whatever
reason, you might not see it
that often. Now
Adam Curry: before I play the
last clip, explain why deflation
is superduper bad.
John C Dvorak: The problem with
deflation is that it it it kills
a demand because what happens is
people who always the prices are
going down I'll wait until it
gets down lower I'm gonna make
an a bite out by tomorrow. So is
a deflationary system creates a
such a slowdown in demand that
it ruins economies. And so you
don't want any deflation
whatsoever. Now with these
restaurants, I think they can
beat this this negative
publicity because Uber and these
other operations which have this
ballooning prices by setting a
top limit because what they want
to do is bring prices down.
Yeah, right. And so what you do
is you just said, No, the max
will always be this will this
will be which is the normal
price will be the max and and
the not the same as Uber surge
price you're waiting prices will
go down, not up ever. And if
they get that message across,
which they're not doing with
these reports, but if they get
that message across, then they
can do what they want to do,
which is lower prices. Now I
should mention that in some
cities, San Francisco being one
of them, they have this
fluctuating prices on parking
meters. Now the parking meters
around me VO for example, when
we were there, yeah, they would
go up and down. Depending on
whether or not there was a
Giants game, which was walking
distance from the office, right?
I remember. So if there was a
Giants game, it would go from,
you know, like 25 cents for a
half hour to like 25 cents for
five minutes. And you had to
pump in about six bucks where
the coins to park. And this is
this mechanism is, is
everywhere. So
Adam Curry: here's a thought for
the lunch crowd for the lunch
crowd. How about brown bag? Can
we bring the brown bag back? How
about a PB and J you brought
from home and that's what we
used to do. People said
Unknown: we reached out to Wendy
is telling us in a statement
overnight this dynamic pricing
can allow Wendy's to be
competitive and flexible with
pricing, motivate customers to
visit and provide them with the
food they love at a great value.
I mean, it feels like we're
constantly being taken advantage
of as customers. Is it
reasonable to believe that if
Windows does this, that everyone
else will follow suit?
It's a test that begins in 2025.
We asked the other chains we
asked Burger King we asked him
McDonald's they didn't respond
but KFC said it has no no plans
at this time to try a dynamic
pricing on its menu. The fast
food industry has been reticent
to do this in the past. But
we'll see if these new menu
boards dynamic menu look if the
if the burgers cheaper later in
the day that might entice me to
be honest,
no, but if you work a shift and
your lunch hours between 12 and
one and you just have time to go
grab a burger and that's the
time that they're the price the
highest. Yeah, that would just
be incredibly frustrating.
busier,
so it's slower and yes, more.
I don't think of fast food like
an airline ticket. I don't Yeah,
that's the same kind of model.
You're welcome. I am your
outrage. As Craig said,
John C Dvorak: Oh my God, what a
bunch of wind bags.
Adam Curry: As blitz points out
in the troll room. Both brown
bags and PB and J have been
declared racist by the Marxist.
So I apologize for my deviant
behavior. Like, there we go. Oh,
my goodness. Yeah, that's where
we're at just where we're at is
where we're at. Alright, I'm
sorry. I was gonna do one more
just that not off. Not much
discussed story. And then I'll
let it go. How's that sound?
John C Dvorak: Okay, I only have
three Biden, Hunter Biden clips
to keep us up.
Adam Curry: Alright, so this is
the stories we talked about. On
the last show. It's finally
getting a little bit of a press
attention, because people can't
get their SSRIs and they're
Adderall and Vyvanse. And Lord
knows what else. But but there
is.
John C Dvorak: What is Vyvanse
it's I've never heard of it
until recently. Well,
Adam Curry: Vyvanse is the same
compound. Oh, what are we
drinking? Are you drinking?
John C Dvorak: Pure the qua qua
Yeah, you're lactose. wha wha,
Unknown: wha? You're
Adam Curry: okay, so that's just
mineral water basically, fancy
mineral water tap water Come on.
Yes. So Vyvanse is the same kind
of the same compound as
Adderall. Only it is, is delayed
release. No, please. It lasts
longer for extra flavor. So
here's the story. And then
there's a sub context which is
not being discussed or learning
more
Unknown: about a cyberattack on
a major health insurance
company. It's causing big delays
and frustrations for many
Americans trying to get their
prescription drugs. Here's ABC
is Lanham Luis. This
morning, nearly one week after a
cyber attack hit the nation's
largest health insurer. 1000s of
pharmacies are still facing
disruptions, fulfilling
prescription drug orders, and
you
potentially get into life and
death scenarios where patients
can't gain health care or in
this case, patients can gain
access to prescription
medication,
the attack crippled change
health care's digital network
which is a part of United
Healthcare. The company says it
took immediate action to prevent
further impact pharmacies use
changes network to verify
insurance coverage.
And if you have a very expensive
medication, you might be stuck
in a position where you have to
pay cash in order to get it at
least temporarily. Times
are hard these days and
something like that. I mean, I'm
sure that would impact a family,
but neutral reports that could
be blamed for the cyber attack.
But Reuters now reports the
infamous ransomware gang, black
cat may be responsible. Why are
they so concerning? So Blackhat
is the same organization that
took down MGM and Caesars
Entertainment that was very
damaging to those organizations.
Cyber criminals are increasingly
targeting healthcare systems.
Earlier this month, a cyber
attack on a Chicago hospital
shut down phones and computers
with this latest attack of
pharmacy near Pittsburgh is
using the honor system, giving
patients their meds now and
billing insurance later. It's
also risky. Is your going to
process a claim? And are you
whenever the insurance is back
up and running? Are we actually
going to get paid what we should
get paid for that prescription.
Large
pharmacy chains like Walgreens
and CVs are reporting only a
limited impact from this attack,
but it's the smaller pharmacies
that have been most affected.
Many have switched to paper
processing, which is causing
delays and backlogs.
Adam Curry: So this is not good.
Now, what is not discussed is,
and it's unclear if this is
Black Cat or locked bit. But one
of this, of course, will be the
Russians. Now obviously, they
say that they have a whole bunch
of interesting documents
relating to the Donald Trump
trial that they're going to
release if the ransom is not
paid. This is not discussed very
much. Even though Washington
Post reporter Brian Krebs wrote
a blog post about it. He is not
published it in the Washington
Post at this hour, who
John C Dvorak: was the
indication that these documents
revealed
Adam Curry: the stolen document?
According to Brian Krebs, WaPo,
reporter on his blog, February
24, letter, the stolen documents
contain a lot of interesting
things and Donald Trump's court
cases that could affect the
upcoming US election.
Unknown: Ooh.
Adam Curry: So we'll see. But
there's not a lot of reporting
on that.
John C Dvorak: Well, that means
it must be something good Biden,
it
Adam Curry: must be good is what
it means.
John C Dvorak: I mean, it's
probably like direct
correspondence between the
Justice Department Biden Biden
White House, some of these court
cases, and they've got the
documents to prove that they
were in collusion, collusion,
collusion, exactly, because
otherwise this would be what you
This is example of why we have
to do a podcast like this. What
you pointed out is the
mainstream media will not report
on anything that is favorable to
Donald Trump. No. Why would you
know they don't want him even
though it's so good, they make
money. But it's not about the
money. It's about the socialism.
Yes.
Adam Curry: What is it about
socialism? That's right. Okay,
let's do your Biden clips so we
can
John C Dvorak: just use the
catches up with a Hunter Biden.
is suppose it deposition
testimony and was good or bad.
Here we go. Hunter Biden news.
This is NTD.
Unknown: Today after months of
anticipation, Hunter Biden
appeared before Congress to
testify in the impeachment
inquiry into President Biden.
Our Washington correspondent
Luis Martinez joins us live now
with more on the probe. Good
evening, Tiffany. Yes, another
big day in Capitol Hill. Today
this more And around 10am Hunter
Biden appeared the oatmeal House
Office Building to testify
before the House Oversight
Committee. That deposition is
part of the impeachment inquiry
against President Biden. Let's
remember that House Republicans
are accusing the president of
using his political influence to
enrich his family members. It's
important to note Tiffany that
Hunter Biden was originally
scheduled to be deposed on the
13th of December of last year.
But on that day, Hunter Biden
instead of showing up to his
scheduled interview with the
House Oversight Committee, he
took to the steps of Capitol
Hill to make a political
statement defending his father
demanding a public hearing, and
also vowing never to participate
in a closed doors deposition,
which of course he did today for
over 7x seven hours. What
changed was that the House
Oversight Committee passed a
resolution holding in contempt
Hunter Biden and before that
resolution could get to the
floor of the house. Hunter
Biden's lawyers reached out to
the Oversight Committee to
schedule today's interview. Now
we spoke with Hunter Biden got
around the behind closed doors
interview by releasing
beforehand before entering into
the interview his opening
remarks in his opening remarks.
Hunter biting defenses father
once again refutes any
allegations that he had to do
anything with his business
dealings, and he also attacked
the Republican Party and I read
a quote from his opening
remarks. You do not have
evidence to support the baseless
and mega motivated conspiracies
about my father, because there
isn't any. I like
Adam Curry: Maga motivated.
Yeah, I
John C Dvorak: love mega
motivated.
Adam Curry: No like it has
nothing like alliteration to
punch the punch your point home.
Mag mag motivated, yes.
John C Dvorak: Part Two
Congressman
Unknown: James Coomer, the
chairman of the House Oversight
Committee, who's leading the
Impeachment Inquiry had
something very different to say
about the amount of evidence
they have against President
Biden. Let's listen to what
James Comer chairman of the
House Oversight Committee had to
say.
Our committees have unearthed
substantial evidence of
President Biden and his family's
corruption. The Biden's created
20 shell companies. Now
Democrats have alleged along the
process that the entire
impeachment inquiry is political
Sham. Now this colts have also
revamped since Alexander
Smirnoff longtime FBI informant
was indicted earlier. The
Adam Curry: guy's name is
Alexander Smirnoff.
John C Dvorak: Seriously? Yeah.
Why?
Adam Curry: He's like, he's like
he's a he's a Russian. He's a
Russian spy. And his name is
Smirnoff. clickup like a vodka.
Yeah, he's
John C Dvorak: a vodka guy.
Adam Curry: This is cartoon
world. Ma'am.
Unknown: Alexander Smirnoff
longtime FBI informant was
indicted earlier this month for
lying to the FBI about
information he provided
regarding Hunter Biden and Joe
Biden's business dealings. Now I
spoke with Congressman Democrat
Congressman Greg Gazzara. From
Texas, a freshman on the
oversight Marxist COC and media
and yet some very strong words
against Republicans who insist
on the impeachment inquiry even
after Alexander Smirnoff was
indicted. Let's listen to what
Congressman Greg Kasara had to
say. I
think almost any American would
say just stop embarrassing
yourself. Stop shaming yourself
this way, and they just seem to
be gluttons for punishment.
They're back at it again. And I
think they're just gonna
embarrass themselves again
today.
Adam Curry: Oh, this guy he was
on the city council in Austin.
He's like a like a Soros sister.
John C Dvorak: Oh yeah.
Adam Curry: She's no good No,
John C Dvorak: no all of these
Democrats and they go on and on
about one thing that I wish I
knew worked out I don't have the
clips about the mole calling
this Russian hoax but the smear
now thing they're banking on
that keeping
Adam Curry: clean nails right I
mean, it's great. It's Russian
disinformation Smirnoff What
more do you want to snap this is
they got it locked?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, well, they
definitely I will tell you this
the Republicans are weenies when
it comes to getting this thing
close. I mean, when it was when
Nancy Pelosi was running the
show she said okay, impeachment
will start tomorrow, bro. Right
go right to impeachment and
let's get Trump because he
because he showed up at a
meeting. Anything you could do
is was much dis comer guys
useless. But let's go to clip
three. I
Unknown: also spoke with
Congresswoman Nancy mace from
South Carolina, and she herself
had very strong words to say to
her counterparts and Democrats
line of argument that looks or
seeks to disqualify Alexandre
Smirnoff and diamond. Let's
listen to what Congresswoman
Nancy Mays had to say.
Of course, because we all know
what the FBI said about this
witness. They said that this
witness was trustworthy and
credible. They paid this witness
six figures so is the FBI that
incompetent does pay this guy
hundreds of 1000s of dollars for
him not to be credible for him
not To be trustworthy. Just a
few minutes ago I spoke also
with Congressman Pat Phelan from
Texas Republican in the House
Oversight Committee. He was
there in the deposition with
Hunter Biden. He spent the
entire seven hours of deposition
in the in the room with the rest
of the Oversight Committee and
this is what Pat Fallon
congressman from Texas had to
say.
He said Jim Biden gave his dad
$200,000 as a loan repayment
okay, then why isn't your father
simply produced the original
check or wire that he sent to
his brother? Yes, go I don't
think it ever existed, but it's
things like that. So I think the
natural progression will be a
public hearing and then we'll go
from there. Boy,
John C Dvorak: they're gonna go
nowhere. This these guys are
these Republicans are just,
they're full of it themselves.
Yeah. But they may you know,
they're going to try to I don't
know what they're even trying to
accomplish.
Adam Curry: I mean, I now I
understand why people are more
interested in dynamic pricing a
Windies. I mean, this is this is
not a good
John C Dvorak: show. No, it's
not working out. And
Adam Curry: with that, I'd like
to thank you for your courage
say in the morning to you the
man who put the sea in luck, why
not your route ladies and
gentlemen, say hello to my
friend on the other end, the one
and only Mr. John
John C Dvorak: curry in the
morning, the oldest ships in the
sea and the boots on the ground,
the feet near the subs in the
water and all the days of the
night too. Big
Adam Curry: and hearty look in
the morning to the trolls and
the troll room. Hello, and look
over here a little better than
last Thursday, last Thursday, we

to 15 165. Trolls listening live
as our live studio audience. We
welcome all of them, of course.
Happy to have the trolls to the
troll, which is what they do.
They've been funny this morning,
though, doing lots of ISOs and
all kinds of fun stuff and
saying look a lot and right.
Look, yeah, it's Pavlovian.
Whenever you hear a news report,
and it's a new here, look, all
you can do is think time to
donate to no agenda. Or whenever
you hear right, you think, wow,
it's right. It's time to donate
to no agenda. Because we are a
value for value podcast. Which
means we give this all to you
for free. gratis. no cost, no
charge. No hoops, no levels. No
totebag none of that. No
advertisement. No
John C Dvorak: creepy corporate
closed off content.
Adam Curry: None of that. Yeah.
Which I and I really hope that
the Dvorak Horowitz unplugged
stock picks never get paywalled
John C Dvorak: you've been
listening again. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Because you were
shorting into the into earnings
again. I couldn't Yeah,
John C Dvorak: I shorted it into
earnings beyond meats. And it
went up by 13%. As Cora was
pointed out to me calls me up.
He says you curries Holy crap.
And then he gave me the example.
Adam Curry: I know. We'll we'll
see what it closes out today. I
love listening to you guys. By
the way, the trolls, you can
join them at troll room.io that
we get the live stream. You can
tune in 24 hours a day, seven
days a week. There's always some
cool podcast that's going live.
Darren O'Neil does the pre show
for two hours before we get on
the stream on Thursdays and
Sundays. If you'd like Taylor
Swift Derringer guy if you'd
like oh, yes, Darren sure guy.
If you like Bowie, Darren. The
John C Dvorak: old Billy Idol
stuff. Yeah. Decades,
Adam Curry: like Weird Al
Yankovic Derringer guy. Yeah,
but it's a lot of fun. There
really is or you can listen to
modern podcasts that I'm gonna
promote a one app every single
show cuz there's a lot is now 16
or 17 of them. These are all
independent apps done by usually
one or two guys on a team. It's
important that you support them
by using their apps. They're the
apps are free. I think you can
get some extra features for some
of them but it keeps podcasting
free it keeps idiots like
Spotify away from podcasts and
keep it free and open. So
fountain is the app I'm
promoting on definitely yeah,
it's a good one fountain is a
very good episode. They just
started like a music radio
station in there too. It's all
kinds of good stuff. Now back to
the value for value. You can
support us in many different
ways. Treasure is a big one. And
we do need the treasure of time
talent and treasure but time and
talent count as well. You can
organize a meet up you can hit
somebody in the mouth you can
promote us. You could just so
many things that you can do is
be a boots on the ground in this
clip. Make some art. There you
go. The artists deliver such
incredible All value to this
podcast is an example for
episode 1637. We titled that one
lie DAR. Thanks everybody for
explaining what Lidar is. I
think we kind of know what it's
like. You don't understand
LIDAR. It's like radio. Right?
Radar, but with a light with
laser. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: you got the
frequency has got more
granularity and somebody went on
and on. I said, What? How much
granularity? How much detail do
you need when he's just talking
about the dirt? You know, you're
trying to hit hit, you're trying
to hit your mind a hit the
ground? You know, you don't have
you don't need within you know,
this, you know, millimeters.
Well, my daughter still fell
over Mr. Rock.
Adam Curry: Lidar is what's
killing everybody in those self
driving cars. You know, it's
great to get
John C Dvorak: and also it's
blinding. You know, does that
mission ever look at this slide.
It's not
Adam Curry: mine. It's for red.
You don't see it? Yeah, guys, we
want to thank Francisco
Scaramanga who is on a roll, his
wife still doesn't understand
what this value for value thing
is, because he gets paid
nothing. He just gives us back
the value and loves it. He loves
the show and gives us back value
by creating dynamite artwork. He
really is on a roll and hitting
it and this was so good. This
was an astronaut apparently on
the moon with a golf club, which
is remember, our US astronauts
were on the moon driving the
dune buggy around the
John C Dvorak: lunar right and
they had a golf club hitting
golf, golf balls and 71 bouncing
Adam Curry: up and down and now
we can't even land the thing
upright. And the golf club is
trying to kill some alien some
pink alien that's rolling
around. It was great. It's
really a funny piece. Let me see
what else we have. Let's go to
no agenda art. generated.com
another great piece of value Sir
Paul couture has made made for
us and for for the program.
Let's see.
John C Dvorak: I use the moon
tripping from dirty Jersey
horror for the news
Adam Curry: very now that came
in late. I don't think we saw
that one when we when we were
picking the art.
John C Dvorak: I don't think so
either. But I used it anyway
because it would have been
Adam Curry: a disgust piece is
hilarious. But it was very, very
good. Other pieces were let's
see toxic Trump, which was
sorry, right. That was Parker
Paulie. Blacknight Parker Polly.
Which was that the patented
Trump hair swoosh. We did talk
for a bit about Dame Kenny Benz
was we in fact, we said we were
discussed this as a runner up
John C Dvorak: with the we're
all right. I really liked that
you liked this piece a lot.
Yeah. The you
Adam Curry: were all gonna die a
guy with the SOS phone and his
hairs on, you know, freaking
out. Yes, it was a nice piece.
John C Dvorak: It was a good
piece. Yeah, it was definitely a
good piece. It could have been
picked. If the other piece
didn't exist. Yes.
Adam Curry: I think both of them
might have lost to the dirty
Jersey horror. That was That's a
funny piece. And
John C Dvorak: maybe he
Adam Curry: should have gotten
that in earlier. I don't know.
That's too bad. Thank you all
very much artists. And of
course, thank you, Francisco
skata manga. We'll see what
everyone has in store for us
today. I can already see there's
about 12 submissions you can
follow along at no agenda art
generator.com. Or in that
fountain app I was talking about
you can find it your app store
your Google Play Store. We have
chapters which Dred Scott makes
for every single show and he
puts all the artwork in there as
much as he can use. He'll put in

birthday. Tickets is 40. It is
hard to believe the last time I
had the day to celebrate the
powers to be we're figuring out
the best way to start. The
demolition of our global
economy. Is sentence structures
hard to read. My commute has
significantly increased recently
and I've rediscovered the medium
of podcasts. After a bit of a
hiatus I must shout out to the
Tom Woods show for my early
education of libertarian in the
libertarianism and contrarian
ism over a decade ago. But if I
had been listening to your show
back in early COVID times I
would have been much more
confident and explain to my bra
bought in France exactly how
they were being hypnotized by
the M five n m. And why I was
show so skeptical of the
nonsense they were rolling out
in 2020 and beyond are extremely
long sentence. I'll wrap up
after deleting much of this
original note for brevity,
really. I just want to say
thanks. By the way that could be
a period not a comma. I just
want to say thanks for your
insights and keep up the good
work. I recently moved to a new
house and new home with my
slightly less new wife. I
married last September and will
be entering the third year of
running decently successful

bumbling cauldron of loads and
brains. You have to be in the
throes of some sort of toxic
delusion in a toxic home to
believe that Donald Trump has
ever been emotionally
psychologically, intellectually
or ethically set to be President
of the United States.
These lights are so bright in my
eyes that I can see too many
people out there and get really
see that. See, anyway,
let's get to the news. Last
night off camera at a fundraiser
President Biden called Vladimir
Putin a quote crazy sob My God.
He even tweeted this video God
gave us who is nevertheless here
on earth to do God's work. God
tells him to steal an election
from President which moaning and
whining and nagging about Trump
and we have to work with
Reverend. We got to get Biden
out box. America barrier
it's a shame what is being done
to the man is?

interesting.
