John C Dvorak: Want to shake and
let me get this straight? Didn't
you basically invent podcasting?
Adam curry, John C Devorah
Adam Curry: 2024 This Year Award
Winning Combination media
assassination episode 1650.
Unknown: This is no agenda,
seeding
Adam Curry: your clouds 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: from Northern
Silicon Valley where they're all
singing Google Google. You can't
hide. I'm John C. Dvorak.
Adam Curry: Yeah, let's do that
in a minute. But let's let's do
the Google have
John C Dvorak: anything that was
I have I have the clip I Oh,
good. I have a Google Google
clip.
Adam Curry: But before that, the
funniest thing, just the
funniest thing happened. I love
this story. And I love how the
mainstream is like, what are we
going to do about this? This is
a problem. Jeff,
Unknown: hold on to the WR
lifecenter got some brand new
video we've been telling you
about this rainfall in United
Arab Emirates and in Dubai
record breaking rainfall and
flooding this view from the
Dubai Airport. This rain has
shut down schools it is shut
down roads grounded flights. The
second largest airport in the
world looks like a river. This
is the tarmac outs of plane
window. Look at this view here.
Country got 10 inches of rain in
24 hours. That is an entire
year's worth. It's creating
dangerous conditions all across
that region. People are being
told don't travel unless it's
absolutely necessary. If you
nearby Oman, there are 18 people
who have been killed because of
this severe weather. The
National Center of meteorology
in Abu Dhabi says this rain
event surpasses anything that
they have seen since they began
keeping records in 1949.
Adam Curry: So I'm looking
around and I come across
Bloomberg Radio, which is there
24 hours a day Bloomberg Radio
that they have video of it as
well, of course, you got people
sitting there with headphones on
with a big mic in front of the
face, who has Bloomberg Radio,
watch me. And they have a new
reporter in Dubai. He's kind of
a cute lady, you know, she's got
a shit cut out the whole part
about her. She's new. And she's
so happy to be here. And her and
her husband are living there
with a young child, everything's
great. But she's new. So she's
inexperienced and doesn't quite
know the you know how things go
not supposed to talk about
certain topics. So she right
away explains exactly what
happened and why this took
place. And you will hear some
interference being run. The
Unknown: official response is
actually this is I think they
called it goodwill rain. And let
me explain the context of this.
So this is also new to me,
right? I had, I was not familiar
with this concept of cloud
seeding. And for anyone who's
not heard of that term, it's
basically a methodology that
some governments in the region
use to help encourage rainfall.
And what they do is whenever
they see cloud formation, they
inject substance into the
clouds. And in this case, I
think it's salts anything with a
bit of iodine and the whole
point is for for those
substances to attract moisture
to encourage more rainfall in
very barren landscapes like you
know like deserts and in the
Middle East and what we have in
the UAE and so what some people
are saying and these are you
know, this is allegations, of
course, but denied by the
government is that this has this
is an example of cloud seeding
that has gone too far. The
response is that it wasn't just
you didn't just heavy rainfall
in your thought and other parts
of it in Pakistan.
I want Damien says started
jumping Jumana that every other
word from Damien's a Greek
letter
to my lunch when she comes to
New York in a few weeks time,
but you want to I really need to
ask you this one question. What
is the damage you're on the
ground next to jobseekers and
they breathtaking,
Adam Curry: please? I mean, she
says it right there. She's boots
on the ground. She's brand new.
Jump in man. We got to stop
that. But we can't we can't have
that be the official, the
official explanation and The
Guardian. Of course, you'd have
the guardian to to come out and
say oh, where is it here? Don't
blame cloud seeding for the
Dubai floods. Cloud seeding
cause the heavy rain in short,
scientists say no. In a
statement issued to multiple
news outlets except for the new
lady and Bloomberg. The NCM,
which oversees cloud seeding
operations in the UAE said there
was no such cloud seeding
operations before or during the
storm did not engage in any
seeding operations during this
particular weather event. He
doesn't say before. He says
during experts meanwhile, John
you'll be interested in know how
to debug Cloud seeding theory.
Martin Unbound, a professor of
atmospheric physics and dynamics
at the University of Reading
said that cloud seeding
certainly in the Emirates is
used for clouds that don't
normally produce rain. Hmm. You
would not normally develop a
very severe storm out of that.
And he added that in the 50s.
And 60s, people still thought
about using cloud seeding to
produce these big weather events
or change these big weather
events. This is long, big
recognize is just not a
realistic possibility. Well, I'm
sorry, this cloud seeding
happens all the time for rain.
Well, I'll
John C Dvorak: tell you this,
that what he just said at the
end there, because I was a kid
in California during the cloud
seeding era and 50s and 60s,
Adam Curry: the days of cloud
seeding, day used to pour rain
just constantly
John C Dvorak: with these clouds
and they would tell us hey, you
know, we're seeding and boom,
next thing you know it'd be
storming like crazy.
Adam Curry: And Lady earlier in
the in that clip, the the new
the new lady said, they were
warning everybody a day and a
half ahead of time. Hey, it's
gonna rain. Now, of course,
Deutsche Avella took the
expected tact.
Unknown: While it's not clear to
what extent climate change may
have caused rainfall. Experts
say it's an example of the kind
of weather we can only expect
more on the crease. As
temperatures rise around the
world. With climate change, what
we see a lot is that you expect
increased intensity of storms
like this heavy, heavy rainfall
talk and increase conditions to
form storms to even begin to
think about precipitation.
As the climate changes, the Gulf
is expected to experience bigger
and more frequent rainstorms.
Adam Curry: Oh, okay. All right.
There you go. This is truly
manmade climate change. Math,
manmade extreme weather event.
It's true if you want to look at
it that way. It's just I'm so
I'm so sad that they why don't
they just say it? Yeah, what's
cloud seeding? We all know it.
We have to deny
John C Dvorak: I don't even know
this not even that is though the
especially the news media. It's
not as though their butter their
butter. Their bread is buttered
by climate change. And I'm
making money is the you know,
the researchers and scammers
that are making money off the
climate change. notion so why is
the media all in on this? Why
they why can't they be honest
with it with themselves? Oh, dig
up the guy who will say climate
change? Well, I have plenty of
guys who would say just the
opposite. If they wanted to be
there in the Rolodex. You can
have you if you wanted to put a
story together. I could put 10
guy saying is bullcrap. And 10
guy saying, Oh yeah, climate
change, easy. climate, climate
Adam Curry: change the movie,
everybody look forward. It's on
YouTube. I do have a Genesis
clip, interestingly enough,
which includes one of our
favorite people. I don't know if
you saw this, it was circulating
around suddenly and I and it
came by and I scooped it up in
the net 1982 which is forced
that 42 years ago. Yeah, 90 Yes.
98. Ha, can you believe that
1982 was 42 years ago was hey,
it was a long time ago. Dan
Rather CBS the genesis of
climate change. Concerned about
rising temperatures on planet
Earth heated up a hearing here
in Washington today. For years
scientists have theorized about
the dangers of the so called
greenhouse effect. Now this this
is where I think this is why we
don't remember this because the
original term before global
warming was the greenhouse
effect. And I think that that
was a bad term. Because it
sounds so green. And you know,
it doesn't even when you think
of greenhouse, you don't think
of all poo it's really hot in
here, because most people have
probably not been in a
greenhouse.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, but the
greenhouse has been in one. Oh,
I used to work in one. It used
to work in a greenhouse. Yes,
Adam Curry: the rose nursery in
that when I was a kid, but my
John C Dvorak: experience being
in a greenhouse is that they're
muggy muck.
Adam Curry: Yes. muggy and warm,
very muggy. And if you're if
you're in a rose rose nursery,
you get a lot of scratches.
Anyway. So this is pre pre
climate pre global warming,
which then became climate change
because the warming wasn't there
for several years. Remember that
period. So we're going back to
greenhouse gases the warming of
the Earth's atmosphere due to
the burning of coal and oil. And
in recent months as David Cullen
reports, research has uncovered
facts to support that theory
facts
Unknown: many scientists claim
that the temperature of the
Earth's atmosphere has been
rising over the past 100 years
that the great sheets of pack
ice and Antarctica are melting
at a much more rapid rate than
previously. And finally, that
the sea level has been rising
with increasing swiftness over
the past 40 years sound
familiar?
John C Dvorak: If they surprise
me for 40 years, and that was 42
years ago. I'm looking out the
window here. Yeah. mud flats, no
change, no change. Map of the
mud flats from the night. Yeah,
the 1880s 1890s Somebody sent me
the same thing. It looks the
same. I wasn't. So I mean, why
would somebody explain this to
me? Besides, the one guy wrote
is, yeah, well, it's because of
the silt.
Unknown: Right cause what's
happening in Greenland right
now, the maps of the world will
have to be redrawn. Erdas
Adam Curry: redraw would happen
to San Francisco Bay. Alright,
we looked out the window, no
change back to the reports. If
the
Unknown: scientists are correct
about 25% of flora that would be
flooded along with low lying
areas all over the world.
Climate changes could produce
widespread disruption of
Adam Curry: this climate
changes. So this was really the
precursor I'd love this Genesis
clip climate changes to changes
from greenhouse gases, climate
change.
John C Dvorak: I want to stop
you for a second kind of
perspective on this place. It
was until when Reagan got
elected. They were still
promoting and I have, I will, I
will get these clips off of an
old cassette I made in the late
70s, early 80s, I think is
probably 79 to 80. Which I mean,
which is around the house
somewhere. They were still three
years. I know where it is.
Anyway, the day we're still and
this is on mainstream hippie,
radio hippie they were they were
still pushing the new ice age.
And yeah, sure went to about
1981. And we're not talking
about as Bill Maher said one
article 1000s of articles were
written about this are the same,
they had to
Adam Curry: write some of the
same people who were then later
wrote about and
John C Dvorak: about half of the
same Yeah, but half the same
people a number of dissent of
those people those have stuck to
this day with the with the
global cooling, which is
interesting, but nobody talks to
them. Anyway. So the show around
1980 by 1981, they just wasn't
working because they went
through from about 70 I think it
started around 72 They started
doing all these scary things
about global cooling and so they
had to reverse change course to
around 82 which is where this
clip came from. This is part of
the course changing events so
this they flipped the script.
Since
Adam Curry: we're talking about
it normally I wouldn't have done
this but you brought in Reagan
is actually mentioned in this
1982 report. We might as well go
back wind it back for years to
1978 This is a classic no agenda
clips. Many have heard it an
hour long special by the one and
only Dr. Spock Leonard Nimoy who
told us that it would so this
only four years before this
we're gonna we're all going to
flood that will you're all gonna
die of the new ice age
Unknown: in 1977 the worst
winter in a centuries but the
United States arctic cold rip
the Midwest for weeks on weight
blizzards paralyzed the cities
of the Northeast. One desperate
night in Buffalo, eight people
froze to death in green cards.
That portion out what was on the
road that night. Traffic
just absolutely stack was afraid
of being stuck in the car all
night long. With the cold and
the wind running out of gas. And
then what? I think that if we
had to go through a real bad
winter, just like we just went
through. I think we have to
think about moving someplace
else.
Move where brutal buffalo winter
might become common all over the
United States. climate experts
believe the next Ice Age is on
its way. According to recent
evidence, it could come sooner
than anyone could expect. And
weather stations in the barn
door. Temperatures have been
dropping for 30 years. Long
three of summer ice are now
blocked year round. According to
some climatologists within a
lifetime, we might be living in
the next Ice Age.
Adam Curry: Oh, Mr. Spock,
Ambassador Spock
John C Dvorak: Yes, classic clip
classic, no agenda clip.
Adam Curry: It's you can find
the whole hour long. I think
it's an hour long special. He's
out there walking into Blizzard
with his heavy coat on. It's so
good. And then great. A mere
Unknown: four years later,
climate changes can produce
widespread disruption of
agriculture. The American Farm
belt might be too dry and the
wheat and corn crops would have
to move to Canada. Oh, blame the
odorless colorless carbon
dioxide gas for these
potentially dangerous changes
around the planet. That's the
Adam Curry: they were still
calling it carbon dioxide then
we've now changed that to
carbon. Obviously,
Unknown: it is the greenhouse
effect. The gas allows sunlight
to filter down and warm the
earth. But like the glass of a
greenhouse, the carbon dioxide
tends to trap heat so that it
cannot rise into space. The
scientists maintain that the
coal oil and gas we've been
burning for 100 years have
produced more and more carbon
dioxide and helped overheat the
Earth.
Adam Curry: Notice no mention of
cows, no mention of any other
things. No, it's just burning
fossil fuels. Now some
Unknown: political leaders
endorsed the demands for more
co2 monitoring stations. Oh, who
could be coming up 1982 like
this one in Hawaii. And they
share the anger of the
scientists at Reagan
Administration budget cuts at a
time when they feel closer to
getting to where it is budget
Adam Curry: cuts and who's
coming in to get some research
money, money money answers.
Unknown: We are not doing the
kind of research that we should
be doing to determine whether or
not the scientists who are so
alarmed are correct and
Adam Curry: that this is Al Gore
Senator Gore assessment
Unknown: and what they find out
will affect the lives and
fortunes of millions of people
and okay, very survival of
cities like this one. David
Culhane, CBS Neos, New York,
Adam Curry: there it is Al Gore
early on going for the research
money. And it will change the
lives and riches of many Yes, it
did, especially for Al Gore. And
for others and for science. By
the way, remember our first law
of holes? If you are one Shut
up. I'm going to play one more
clip for climate change. And we
can move on because we have a
and I think this actually, I
think this flows into a couple
of clips I saw you had the new
CEO of NPR, Catherine Mar. She
She has worked quite a career
she has she is a I mean, if if
you had to place a picture next
to Liberty card in the
dictionary.
John C Dvorak: It would be it. I
believe you use I have
Adam Curry: to she's kind of
she's she's great
John C Dvorak: photo of her
wearing a Biden for President
house.
Adam Curry: I mean, she's all in
on all of this leftist stuff,
all of the trans Maoist stuff,
all of it. So she did a TED talk
a few years back, Mr. I
John C Dvorak: didn't get that
mistake. Mistake. I could have,
Adam Curry: we could just play
the whole 15 minutes. Instead, I
clipped about a
Unknown: minute and Min 30. Here
I think about our lack of shared
of urgent action
Adam Curry: I should mention at
the time, she was the I think
the executive director of the
Wikimedia Foundation, which of
course produces Wikipedia. She
later went on to be the
executive director of the signal
Foundation, which makes me want
to question the use of signal
the the chat chat texting app,
right communications app. And
but she is she has a long line
of very globalist organizations
that she's been in. So let's go
back to her views on climate
change and how we have to have
the conversation, which is
coming to an NPR radio station
hear you very soon I think about
Unknown: our lack of shared of
urgent action on climate change.
We've known for a very long time
now about the negative impacts
of manmade carbon in the
atmosphere, manmade
Adam Curry: carbon, she's she
just skipped over the dioxide
part. So now just manmade carbon
funds. But
Unknown: that implications of
that data, challenge our
identities, our industries, our
communities, in ways that have
led and created resistance and
even disinformation. And the
resulting public debates about
the truth of climate change have
prevented us from taking
specific and concrete actions
that could mitigate the harms to
us around rising seas.
Increasingly deadly waves of
heat and cold, deadly powerful
storm systems.
Adam Curry: Notice how she
brings in heat and cold all of a
sudden, with such
Unknown: urgent threats ahead of
us, we need better ways to get
to shared understanding.
Fortunately, I've seen how at
Wikipedia, we can come to
cooperative and productive
conversations around
disagreement and decision making
without using one shared truth
as our baseline. It's general
and accommodating approach stop.
John C Dvorak: One shared truth
of our baseline. I was waiting
hills. That's it.
Adam Curry: I was waiting here
for you to stop it somewhere. I
mean, she's just full of these
little buzz phrases. One what
does that mean? I don't know.
She's too cute. You're looking
at it like, Oh, she's cute.
What'd she say?
John C Dvorak: We can come to
moderately shoot in a horsey
kind of a way. cooperative
Unknown: and productive
conversations around
disagreement and decision
making. Without using one shared
truth as our baseline. One
shared
Adam Curry: truth as our
baseline I think
John C Dvorak: of our baseline.
Yes. I don't know.
Adam Curry: I don't know. I it's
it's gobbledygook. It's TED talk
is
John C Dvorak: total
gobbledygook.
Unknown: Generous and
accommodating approach offers us
an a practical way to take it
down a notch, focusing on
something a little less
stressful, the best of what can
be known right now. And the good
news is we can know a lot of
things. We have high quality
information, facts and data that
allow us to do things like track
the migration of, of endangered
species, or the spread of a
pandemic around the world.
Adam Curry: Oh, yes. She's gonna
be great. And button by
coincidence, someone sent me the
form 990 for NPR, which I was
very happy with, because it has
a lot more stuff in here than I
realized. NPR last year spent
$2.25 million on TED talk. I
guess they have Ted Talk Radio.
Yeah, so they, they, they they
bought that for $2.25 million.
Now, she will make about half a
million dollars. Because all the
salaries of the directors and
executives and important people
are disclosed in this form. 990
But what's interesting is how
much do you think Steven ins
keeps Inscape makes host of the
Morning Edition. I have no idea.
$488,000 with a 32,000 Extra
bonus. Okay. The other hosts the
secondary hosts 378. And these
are pretty these are pretty big
numbers.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, but they
don't compare to TV numbers.
Adam Curry: No, but they only
have 12 and a half million
listeners. The whole winter
we'll have MBR all of NPR?
That's not I thought it would be
much bigger. It
John C Dvorak: will I think it
was and would have been if it
wasn't for the fact that they've
gone nuts. Yeah, exactly.
Adam Curry: They probably were
much bigger and
John C Dvorak: herbs. This girl
is something is interesting,
because if you look at those
spot, this book, jingle might be
in play here. Let me just read a
few things she's done. Which
seems unlikely. Yes, she is the
non executive chairperson Web
Summit former chief executive
director Wikimedia Okay, we got
that member the Council on
Foreign Relations worked for
UNICEF, the National Democratic
Democratic Institute, the World
Bank and access now, before
joining Wikimedia She
subsequently joined the Atlantic
Council US Department of State's
Foreign Affairs Policy Board. So
a lot of stuff here for grows 41
Spa, the spoon,
Unknown: the spoon. Everybody
wants to spot the spoon.
John C Dvorak: Graduated from
the Arabic language institutes
intensive program at the
American University in Cairo.
That's that study that the
Institute francais spent time in
Lebanon and Tunisia. received a
bachelor's from New York
University in Middle Eastern and
Islamic Studies. Council on
Foreign Relations a Eurasia
group began working at HSBC in
London. This is a big
Adam Curry: resume. year what
year at HSBC?
John C Dvorak: 2005. Whoa,
wasn't
Adam Curry: that the year of the
big scandal that maybe Comey was
still on the board? In
John C Dvorak: 2007. She
returned in New York City where
from 2007 to 2010. She worked at
UNICEF and goes on and on. I
mean, this is undecided. This is
a person that is this is not a
normal career path for anybody
this book, listen
Adam Curry: to this. Between
2005 When did she leave?
John C Dvorak: Well, between
today she in 2007. It looks like
she returned to New York. I'm
Adam Curry: looking here from
Reuters. Almost like between
2005 and 2007. There was a
growing flood of US dollars
moving between the exchange
houses and HSBC. This was all
the Mexican drug dealers who
were money laundering their
money through a HSBC exactly the
time she was there. And Comey
was on the board of directors.
She's inside man. She's in in
big time. And she left right
around the time that Oh, we got
our money. Let's go. Wow.
John C Dvorak: So she's a she's
a, I would say that she's a
heavy hitter. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Well, I mean, that's
so it is unique that she's would
you say she's cute like with
dog? What did you say?
John C Dvorak: insei. Dog. I
would never say that about any
woman ever
Adam Curry: forgot what you
said. You said. I forgot what
you said. You
John C Dvorak: know, horses kind
of way cute in a horse, you sort
of sense.
Adam Curry: So how often do you
get such a such an elite who has
us kind of horsey good looking?
She's unique. It's no wonder
it's a it's a it's a miracle. We
haven't seen her surface before.
John C Dvorak: She's well, we
haven't. Obviously, she hasn't
taken the profile that we're
looking for. She said there's
probably 1000 People like her.
Yeah, floating around going from
the Middle East Institute to one
thing or another as great. But
when they crop up and push their
way into the mainstream media,
which is what we deconstruct, we
have to take note. And we took
we've just taken note that this
woman is a spoke. Yeah. Yeah,
she's connected. And she's in
it. And now she's running NPR
and she's running on behalf of
the woke. And that guy where I
have clips I will get to those
later. The guy who made the
wrote a simple essay. I think he
was trying to kiss her ass. She
ended up getting him to quit.
Adam Curry: Yeah, let's let's
play that because that this is
an interesting twist. Based on
the analysis we had, mainly
yours that you know this guy.
And I'm not saying it's wrong,
but that this guy was just a big
hero. Do it in between CEOs. I
think that this had more impact.
Yeah, I think it had more impact
than we expected. And you know,
the, the cracks are starting to
fly. I was talking to a buddy of
mine. And he says all the
teachers around here, it's
almost like a virtue signal. Oh,
yeah. listen to NPR. And they
get all their woke bullcrap from
NPR. And even though this wasn't
really about a wokeness thing,
per se, the article that this
Henri wrote, he was he the crack
I think the crack started to
show and I think that in the
intellectuals who listen to NPR
and have the tote bag and the
bumper sticker, probably the
probably there was it stirred
something up. And that's why,
you know, the pushback was too
hard, or it's something went
wrong for this guy to quit.
Yeah, joke's on him. But I think
the cracks are showing. But
John C Dvorak: the other thing
is it turned out that the
staffers put it together a
petition to to demand that he
get fired. The staffers, again,
obviously against free speech or
free thought got all bent out of
shape because they felt they
were offended because they were
doing good work. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Do you know that a
recent survey, I think Edison
Research showed you know what
media personnel, the American
public trust most? podcasters
Yes. Yes. A mil? Yes. Americans
trust podcasters more than any
other media personalities.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, good for
us. Yay. Yay. All podcasting.
Adam Curry: Go podcasting.
Indeed.
John C Dvorak: Well, one of
these I got four clips here one
of them. Two of the clips are in
analysis by this guy. His name
is mentioned in the clip. But he
he discusses what's happening
happening in general to the
media and mentions podcast. Oh,
good. A senior business. Sorry.
No, I'm
Unknown: sorry. Let's go okay.
Hey, Senior Business editor at
NPR has announced his
resignation. This comes just a
day after the outlets suspended
him for an essay criticizing
what he called the company's
liberal bias. And a statement on
X ray Berliner took jabs at the
company CEO Berliner said he
can't work in a newsroom where
he is quote disparaged by his
boss. Just days prior, he
published an article on the free
press titled I've been at NPR
for 25 years. Here's how we lost
America's trust. in it. He said
NPRs culture had changed from
having an open minded spirit to
a much narrower worldview.
Berliner cited a number of
examples and NPRs coverage from
Hunter Biden's business dealings
to the Israel Hamas wars
specifically, quote highlighting
the suffering of Palestinians at
almost every turn while
downplaying the atrocities of
October 7. NPR CEO Catherine
Maher has defended the outlet.
She has been criticized for an
alleged progressive bias and for
disparaging social media posts
about Trump. Prior to being
fired at NPR, she had said,
quote, our reverence for the
truth might be a distraction
that's getting in the way of
finding common ground and
getting things done unquote.
Adam Curry: Free before you
continue. So here's the study.
The in fact they they entitled
The study, because of the
outcome podcasting, a medium of
trust. According to the,
according to the study of US
consumers, 64% of podcast
listeners actively seek out
podcasters and create time for
the content, the most of any
other tests in media
personality, making the time
spent with podcasts highly
engaging and intentional. And
these findings, the podcasters
most trusted comes at a time
when trust in the US media has
hit an all time low. Half of
Americans reported to believe
that national news organizations
deliberately mislead them. And
that's research from Gallup and
the Knight Foundation. How about
that? That's saying a lot.
John C Dvorak: I mean, yeah, and
that's probably just the tip of
the iceberg in terms of the way
people feel about the mainstream
media and the mainstream media
is just they don't know what to
do about it. You know, they're
having meetings every once a
while, and you end up with a
comment like that was in his
last clip, where the woman of
this blonde, the new CEO, said
that, well, you know, it just
because it can't handle the
truth is basically what she said
there.
Adam Curry: I know, it's, it's a
bit rude. But you know, it's
just a comment in general. If
the if you look at forget NPR
for say, if you look at the
mainstream media, and even just
entertainment, I consider what
we do, okay, the construction,
but it is we're trying to make
people laugh, it's
entertainment. I mean,
everything is really ultimately
meant to be entertaining.
Mainstream, they abused their
audiences. I think about the
bachelor, the Robinson Island,
whatever it's called survivor,
your anything to get normal
people to abuse themselves, so
we can all watch it. Big
brother, all of these, all of
these things are just abusing
their audience. Whereas
podcasters we work together with
our audience. That's the only
way we can make it work. We
produce the show together. We do
it together. We respect our
audience. As far as we could
throw him. You're
John C Dvorak: like very taken
by this report. Dude, I know. I
can see where you bent your arms
back and you're betting
yourself. Stay with me. Not a
pleasant sight.
Adam Curry: Stay with me. I'm
doing it for the children, John
fleece.
John C Dvorak: All right. I want
to mention, by the way, this URI
guy, yeah, he quits because he
knows he's going to be get paid
twice as much to do a fox
podcast, but a podcast. He's
working at Fox on Neopian gut
failed. And a couple of his
other shows as the you know,
staff guest like Juan Williams
was for years after he got fired
from the NPR
Adam Curry: executive advisor.
What is it called? The one of
they usually have it's called.
John C Dvorak: They called the
liberal stooge. Oh, come on.
They're the liberal put him on
as the physical force. Oh,
Adam Curry: on the five I
gotcha. Yeah, that's a good spot
for him. Yeah, good spot. Yes.
John C Dvorak: I like it. I like
it. And he'll like it too when
he gets the money. Yeah, for
sure. Onward.
Unknown: Joining me now to
discuss the latest controversy
over national public radio is
investigative journalist Jeff
Carlson. Jeff is also the co
host of truth over news on Epic
TV. Jeff Carlson, thank you so
much for joining us. Good to
have you back on the show.
Recently, this clip of NPR co
Catherine Maher, which was
discovered by conservative
activist Christopher Ruffo. is
making the rounds especially
today with even Elon Musk
commenting on it. This is what
she had to say about her fight
against quote, disinformation.
The
number one challenge here that
we we see is of course, the
first amendment in the United
States. It also means that it is
a little bit tricky to really
address some of the real
challenges of where does that
information come from? And sort
of the influence pedalers who
have made a real market economy
around it.
Jeff, what is your reaction to
this? These this statement by
the CEO of NPR? Well,
it just keeps getting worse,
doesn't it? You know, this this
whole thing originated with the
essay by URI Berliner, the one
of the editors there who was
frustrated with the environment
that he was working on. We've
kind of finally blew the lid off
and then as people started
digging on the CEO, the more
they found the more alarming it
was And what I think is going on
here and why we're seeing the
kind of reaction that we're
seeing is this is exposing the
whole side of censorship and the
so called disinformation
experts. You know, she's made a
number of speeches. You know,
one of the ones she was bragging
about working with the
government and central
censorship efforts. And now here
she's talking about the single
biggest impediment to her work
is the First Amendment
Adam Curry: it's interesting
some how the sausage here at no
agenda is made in that clip was
that little bit of a miss Maher
talking about, you know, the
First Amendment, and I had the
clip, but it was the the audio
was so broken up. Like, this
really isn't isn't really good.
I mean, in context of this clip,
it's good. That's actually how I
went searching for more on her
and that's how I hit on the TED
Talk.
John C Dvorak: Ah, well, that
clip was unusable. I had it too.
Yeah. I think it may be missing
misinterpreted. I also thought
the interpretation I thought it
was a little loose. Yeah,
dubious and loose. So she's
yakking away about one thing or
another and they've taken it.
They've taken it as a negative
thing. I didn't do that. But the
overall analysis by this guy,
Jeff, is still decent. So let's
go on with part three.
Unknown: There are now growing
calls to defund NPR with
Republican senator Marsha
Blackburn
Adam Curry: telling Oh, I first
of all, can we just talk about
defunding NPR? They only get
what is it? John 2%. From the US
government, it turns out way is
going to be more. It
John C Dvorak: turns out to be
more but it's done through AI.
There's a word for this. It's
round about it. That's not the
word. But there's another word
for it. They have other
mechanisms. In other words, they
get money from a bunch of
sources that turn out to be
proxies for the US government.
Yeah, so they're getting a lot
more than that is bogus. And I
fell for it. Yeah, me too. And
you fell for it is easy to fall
for. But then when you have
somebody who anally analyzes
this, disguising that it's not
the one this came up, I've heard
this before. And they start
looking into it. It's a lot of
money.
Adam Curry: And this is what
Laura Logan was talking about.
When she when she was in DC. She
said they have all these
cutouts, I think is the term she
Yeah, cut out, you got cut outs,
and these are NGOs. And they get
millions of dollars or 10s of
millions or hundreds of
millions. And they then turn
around and they and they Yeah,
they fund it to NPR, just as NPR
turns around and funnels it to
TED talks, which I think is
probably also a nonprofit. I'll
bet you it is.
John C Dvorak: Not that I know.
I know. But it had to be
switched. I mean, it was another
guy who bought it.
Adam Curry: So So basically it's
it's government money funding
that Ted dude.
John C Dvorak: Yes, the new jet
you originally
Adam Curry: know that TED is
gone. It's the new Ted dude. All
right back to the clip.
Unknown: There are now growing
calls to defund NPR with
Republican senator Marsha
Blackburn telling Fox News that
she's planning to propose
legislative action that would
threaten to cut the funding to
NPR. What is NPR is record when
it comes to covering major
political stories?
Well, you know, it's I guess, in
many ways, it's like a lot of
other news organizations and
that they've got kind of a
storied history, and had done a
great job. But as our
environment became more
politicized, so did they. And
you know, the funding is
something that we've talked
about for a long time, a lot of
people have talked about it for
a long time. And it's not a
small number. I believe the
parent organization gets almost
half a billion dollars, like
$500 million, the radios get
something on the magnitude of
$125 million. So we're not
talking about small amounts,
even though NPR likes to portray
it that way. And I would remind
everybody, you know, if you want
to point to a time when a change
really happened, it was earlier
than this. But NPR actually came
out at the time of the Biden
Trump, you know, when they were
running for president, and in
late October, right before the
actual election itself, they
said that they weren't going to
cover the Hunter Biden laptop
laptop story, because it wasn't
newsworthy, and made a public
statement about that. And they
knew it was perfectly
newsworthy, they knew that the
FBI had possession of hunters
laptop, they knew in real time
that it was a real story.
Publicly, they denigrated it.
And that's one of the elements
that may have helped swing that
election.
Adam Curry: Ted foundation Inc.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, you look
for the
Adam Curry: Yeah, yeah, dead
foundation. This is interesting.
At the end, it really has reset
my thinking about NPR. Because I
was, I mean, I know that they're
their ad sales, or I'm sorry.
John C Dvorak: And whatever you
want it, whatever
Adam Curry: you want to call it.
I know that that is sold by
professional radio salespeople
because they they sell, you
know, and we'll throw in NPR,
you know, they sell the whole
thing as a package. And the
podcasts are definitely
commercial. And they can do that
because of the, you know, the
outdated laws around what
they're doing. But I had, I had
never really considered that
they were getting all these
grants from cutouts. That makes
a lot of sense. No wonder she's
in there. She has she has to
government,
John C Dvorak: government
stupid. Yeah, making sure things
go the right way for this kind
of money. Look, we're putting a
lot of government money in here.
We want to make sure somebody's
in control. We don't want to
invest the rails and protect
Adam Curry: our investment here.
Yeah, definitely.
John C Dvorak: All right, I
think we're on for yes.
Unknown: I mean, what's the role
of the news? Fundamentally, the
role of the news is to report on
the government, right? It's
supposed to be an adversarial
relationship, by its very
definition, it is not supposed
to be friendly, or comfortable
or conversational. And yet, with
receiving a large chunk of their
funding from the government,
they're now reliant on the
government. So that alters the
fundamental nature of the
relationship. But you know, we
can also extend these problems,
these relationship problems, to
all the other media
organizations, New York Times
Washington Post have very, very
cozy relationships with their
national security counterparts.
So we've moved away from this
watchdog, the press as a
watchdog on the government into
a role of cooperation with the
government, which is the very
reason that we saw all the
censorship actions that we've
seen over the last number of
years. It's it's a partnership.
It is not. It is not a, you
know, an adversarial watchdog
relationship that's ended many
years ago, unfortunately.
Adam Curry: Was it ever a
watchdog? Ever? I can't recall
it ever being a watchdog cyborg?
Maybe
John C Dvorak: if you go back to
the 30s. Okay. We have radio
that I think when you go back to
the when the we had the American
Revolution, I think it was
Adam Curry: was there NPR during
the American Revolution?
John C Dvorak: No, during a time
talking about the media in
general news.
Adam Curry: Oh, please. Now that
that went out the door before
John C Dvorak: we were born, I
think is funny the way he puts
this thing. He could have been
called on it, which was he says,
it says The New York Times and
its national security
counterparts.
Adam Curry: Oh, I didn't even
catch that. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: he's that's what
he said. And I went Oh, that's
interesting. He's so he thinks
that the New York Times is and I
think so to the New York Times
is just part of the national
security system.
Adam Curry: Well, I have to have
a clip after you play your your
next clip about the New York
Times. Next clip, I
John C Dvorak: believe is the
last Yes, it is,
Unknown: and give us a sense of
just how widespread is this
activism journalism, if you
will, how do we get back to the
watchdog stage that you're
talking about?
Well, unfortunately, I don't
think we can get back under the
old model. The you know, the
pervasiveness of the activism is
so widespread, it's endemic,
it's at every major, you know,
institution. And it, I don't see
any rectification for it. But
people are waking up to the fact
that they're constantly being
lied to. It's why the industry
is undergoing such profound and
fundamental changes. We've seen
any number of closures,
bankruptcies, etc. And it is
opening up an entirely new
realm, you know, sort of the new
media, people that are doing
their podcasts, you know, you
folks at Epic, that are looking
for the fundamental truth, just
want to report the news, people
are hungry for that. So while
it's a very deep and fundamental
problem, on the one hand, on the
other, it also creates an
opening and people are looking
for that opening, so it's an
opportunity as well. But
ignoring the old media is going
to go away. Jeff Carlson,
thank you so much for your time.
Yeah,
Adam Curry: that's actually
quite good. This has been going
on for at least 20 years and we
saw it happen actually on the
media had like an hour long as a
hate listen for me, but they had
a pretty good profile of the how
newspapers were destroyed by
Craigslist later Backpage how
government came in to regulate
Backpage because that when I was
a kid, I mean, literally, that's
that's what you would look for,
for your apartment for your job,
Help Wanted for a relationship,
all these different things were
all in the classifieds, then
that was completely disrupted by
wiped out wiped out because it
was $18 billion worth of
revenue. That was taken away by
Craigslist mainly. And of course
now it's rampid everywhere. And
the news room. They all thought
people buy the newspaper frosh,
they love our wonderful news
reporting and analysis. Oh, no,
they don't. So the newspapers,
they're basically gone with some
few exceptions. I think we'll
always have, you know, some big
mainstream hits that people will
still glom on to usually those
who are zombified and asleep.
But when you look at television,
and particularly cable, it is
and streamers it is eroded to
such a degree that we can't have
10 subscriptions to everything,
in fact, is the first thing to
go when when, when money gets
tight, like oh, let's we got
these subscriptions. Who What
are we going to cut? It's the
audiences have eroded. A big hit
now on a network TV show is
five, 6 million. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: tell I used to be
100 million for some things.
Adam Curry: Well, I mean, big
events will be 100 million. But
even even, you know, a CBS or
NBC must watch TV. I mean, that
was you were talking 20 30
million people. Easy. And so
during there was a really good
article that I read about this,
I'll put it in the show notes.
You know, during in the last it
was in last 15 years, we had
000 0% interest rates it's
called The Life and Death of
Hollywood Daniel best in rents
and Harper's
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I read that
article too as a good article.
Adam Curry: It's long but it's a
good article. It's too long guy,
the guy he's an editor on garden
he's the
John C Dvorak: editor to see
sittings
Adam Curry: three for me. But he
basically said that you know, we
had all this all of these this
cheap, free money in essence,
and then the streamers came in
and they started to create
amazing quote unquote amazing
content paying writers all kinds
of money everybody was rockin
and rollin and then it flipped
from that get get as many users
the typical Silicon Valley just
don't worry about
John C Dvorak: eyeballs it took
the eyeball approach to Silicon
Valley I yeah, I get get the
eyeballs and we'll deal with how
much how to make money off the
eyeballs later and
Adam Curry: then that change and
move to profitability which is
why you see the all these
companies
John C Dvorak: some of it has to
be boring Hey, we gotta live
balls here. We're losing our as
well is that well, it
Adam Curry: happened
coincidentally with the end of
free money with inflation and
the interest rate hikes. So
that's over of now Netflix is
doing okay. But in general, the
industry has been hollowed out
and destroyed. And add to that,
that during the writer strike.
People didn't didn't Miss Kim
all or, or what's the other guy?
What's the what's the other,
Jimmy? Jimmy,
John C Dvorak: Jimmy Fallon and
stuff.
Adam Curry: And what's now
people started watching tick
tock in bed, they didn't care
John C Dvorak: for entertaining,
generally much more
entertaining.
Adam Curry: And the cost of
distribution, the cost of the
studios, the old way of doing
stuff is just too expensive. It
is over. And so we've seen this
very slow decline. And obviously
radio is now like
John C Dvorak: tight, you know,
listen to this like talking to
Brunetti. Well, I'll just
exactly what he thinks he
thinks. That's why he doesn't
use right. That's why he
retired, he made
Adam Curry: his money, he's
gonna grow corn. So anyway, back
to the guy saying the New York
Times and their national
security counterpart, we must
remind ourselves that it was New
York Times reporters who I
believe lied about the aluminum
tubes, and all this, which
really got us into Iraq. And you
know, that's been litigated over
and over again. And so well, we
didn't know as people were
telling us, fine, whatever. But
there was a there's another not
so nice report about the New
York Times. That is, comes from
the intercept. Is that still
piarc Pierre acomodar. drive my
cars so his outfit
John C Dvorak: far as I know,
and even even though they say
oh, they're going broke, how
they're going broke. This guy's
got enough money to sustain that
company forever, forever.
Adam Curry: Trying to start this
clip. A new report
Unknown: by the intercept has
exposed internal editorial
guidelines issued by the New
York Times, dictating how its
journalists should report on
Israel's war on Palestine Gaza.
The leaked internal memo
unveiled the American newspapers
restrictions on several words,
including genocide, ethnic
cleansing, and occupied
territory. An anonymous source
from the New York Times told the
intercept that while it's not
unusual for news companies to
set style guidelines, these are
unique standards applied to
violence perpetrated by Israel.
The report highlighted that up
until november two People, the
NYT had referred to Israeli
fatalities as a massacre on 53
occasions, compared to just once
for Palestinians being killed.
The disparity was also Stark in
the usage of the term slaughter,
which appeared 22 times more
often in descriptions of Israeli
deaths than Palestinian deaths.
Since October 7. Western media
has faced heavy criticism for
adopting a pro Israel tone in
its coverage. Several protests
have erupted outside the offices
of media outlets, as
demonstrators accused American
and European outlets of
Manufacturing Consent for
genocide in Gaza. Israeli
bombings on civilians houses,
hospitals and schools in Gaza
have been overwhelmingly
described by Western media
outlets as Israel asserting its
right to defend itself. While
any act of violence by
Palestinians has been labeled as
terrorism, is Western media,
downplaying Palestinian
suffering in Gaza, while using
language that is being
weaponized by Israel.
Adam Curry: This is a report
from Turkish radio televisions,
I need to mention that as well.
This is not a good look for the
New York Times often described
as the New York Times, this is
exactly what they should not be
doing. Because this plays into
every single trope of Zionism,
and Jews running the media. What
were they thinking? Seriously,
what were they thinking? Because
while I understand,
John C Dvorak: I'm guessing it
wasn't even the Jewish
contingent, which Pharaoh No,
very a big minority at the New
York Times most of the if
there's Jews at the New York
Times, just to be honest, blunt
about is at the top
Adam Curry: while getting onto
public. At
John C Dvorak: the baseline is a
bunch of woke liberals. And so
they probably the woke liberals
that are down there probably
said, hey, there are leak this.
They leaked this to somebody
over there this scam. Yes,
totally. This is a hit piece on
the New York Times by the people
that work at the New York Times,
I can assure you
Adam Curry: the phone call came
from inside the house.
John C Dvorak: So yes, exactly.
Adam Curry: So I just want to
talk about something here
because Well, I understand the
brainwashed under educated over
socialized New York Times people
but also what universities who
always looking for oppressed and
oppressor, I get all of that. I
mean, that's Black Lives Matter
is the same thing. And it's kind
of devolved down to who's
genocide ng who wishes always
seemed to be able to talk about,
but what is what is new, and
this really happened after
October 7. And what I'm seeing
that you and I we are getting
tagged and we're being called
out as covering for Zionism for
the we're shilling for them.
Yeah,
John C Dvorak: it's hurting our
donations. Oh, it definitely
hurting. Who knew that we had
that many Jew haters to be
honest about it in our audience,
Adam Curry: but but let's talk
about that for a second. Because
what? So the main term is
Zionism. Design this control
everything. Israel controls
everything. Oh, yeah. No, I'm
just gonna run through it when I
want to
John C Dvorak: have a series.
I'm sorry for being a being a
jerk about it. But yeah, no, but
Right.
Adam Curry: It's important
because, you know, if I'm being
accused of something, I want to
understand what this where it's
coming from. And so, you know,
it's Israel controls everything,
media, finance, politics, AIPAC.
You know, which, you know, and I
see lists, we'll all look at all
these, these, these politicians,
by the way, most of them not
Jews like Marco Rubio. He's I
think he's one of the top who
get all, you know, millions of
dollars in donations from AIPAC,
which the American Israeli
political, actually conference,
I think. And of course, American
Jews aren't doing themselves any
favors by staying silent. You
know, it's like, oh, let's not
just say anything. Well,
John C Dvorak: they're whining a
lot about these Gaza protesters.
We
Adam Curry: have but but, but
they need to also come out. And
look, there's there's no doubt
that, that Jews have great
networks, especially in America,
they have great networks, and
they stick together. You know,
just like, there's great
networks everywhere have
different types of people,
different backgrounds. Yeah,
morons. But but you know, when
you when you have Jewish actors
changing their names, it just,
it all adds to it. It's like,
you're trying to be quiet, and
all you're doing is making it
worse for everything. But now,
and I don't have many Jewish I
have friends in Israel. And we
can talk about that. But I don't
have many Jewish friends in
America, but the ones I do have.
They're very, very frightened
right now. And it's it you know,
I grew up in the Netherlands. So
I know a lot about what happened
to the Jews in World War Two.
And there's lots of stuff to be
skeptical about, you know, even
Anne Frank, there's all kinds of
skepticism about her diary, but
doesn't really matter because I
would play with friends, and the
grandmothers would be there and
they had numbers in their arm
and they had stories. So, you
know, there was definitely some
Jew hate going on. And when I
look at what's happening, and a
lot of this is on Mastodon in
general. It's always it's always
been on 4chan for a long time.
And it's, you know, and it's,
it's stuff like, Are you
noticing, you know, put a name
in for parentheses, you know,
oh, Ju. It's, it's all like, so
there's, there's this. There's,
yeah, there's this correlation
between Zionism, which, you
know, the definition is, you
know, a homeland for the for the
Jews and Israel. And we can
argue about that. It's not
frankly not that interesting to
me. But this has devolved to. It
feels a bit like 1933 Berlin.
You know, the way Dietrich
Bonhoeffer described as a garden
of the beasts, we've talked
about that, that break Bush,
great book, but Americans were
good at this. I mean, we had the
red scares the communists, then
we rounded up all the Japanese
after Pearl Harbor, you know,
911 if the towel heads, the
Muslims did it. And but this
undercurrent of the Jews are
doing it the Jews are control
has been long around for a long
time. And the main argument I
see now is, well, what why do
you care so much about what's
happening? I don't want my
American tax dollars going to
genocide? This is this is the
the basic complaint, or that if
you ask you keep at it, what is
the real problem? You know, it's
4,000,000,008. What if it was 40
billion, I don't care. We
literally just gave the military
industrial complex 900 billion,
almost a trillion. And if
anything, it's a distraction
from the climate tests who I am
climate phobic, and the
globalists who are restricting
our freedom of movement, your
food, your finances, your
property, but we're all bugs,
and we're all running around,
being really afraid of the Jews
controlling and you know, and
and by the way, the Schilling
that you and I are doing, yeah,
you know, we're going to be the
first to get killed when they
take over. I mean, this is
literally the stuff that people
are saying. And, and I'm like,
Is this because possibly we have
been in the last 20 years, which
I believe most of these people
grew up in the last two decades.
Because I'm older now, you know,
so I don't have much to lose. I
don't care I've had I'm fine
talking about I'm not trying to
shill or cover for anybody. We
get no money from the Jews. I
get no AIPAC money is none of
that. But isn't maybe because we
deep down feel so ashamed of the
death and destruction we have
done in the Middle East. For the
last 20 years, literally last 20
or 2223 years. Everyone knows
that everyone knows that, that
we went into Iraq under false
pretense we killed a million
people, we ruined Libya. Is it
that? Is it something deep down
that were broken in our psyche?
And all we can do is, is arguing
and point towards the Jews? Or
did the Jews make us do that?
Did the Jews make us kill all
the Arabs? I mean, it's a
serious question. What is what
is wrong with us? Why are we
doing this? Because this happens
every 100 years. It's the Jews.
It's I mean, it's just time for
a Jew reset. Is that what
everyone wants? I'm trying to
I'm trying to understand,
John C Dvorak: well, you're not
going to know.
Adam Curry: Well, there's give a
lot is a lot, you know, and then
you
John C Dvorak: get all we do is
deconstruct the news.
Adam Curry: I know. But this
also plays into Christianity.
You know, it's like, you know,
the Bible commands us to pray
for peace over Israel over
Jerusalem and to be specific
Jerusalem. And then before you
know, curry goes to Christians
that he's a Christian Zionist,
okay.
John C Dvorak: Whatever that is,
whatever that is. Well, let's
get back to these clips.
Adam Curry: So you have no input
on this. You have not absolutely
John C Dvorak: I have absolutely
no input on this this concerning
viewers. I just, well, let me
think what is the best way to
put it? I love my job. I love
what I do. Let's listen
Adam Curry: to a Google
protester who was protested and
subsequently removed for
protesting project Nimbus, which
is an AI project that Google is
doing for is what
John C Dvorak: the project you
know, it's project Nimbus is
really up cloud.
Adam Curry: That was let me play
the clip so you can hear what
she thinks it is. Okay. We
Unknown: demand that Google
protect their Arab Muslim in
Palestine. Tn worker voices from
harassment, retaliation
suppression, and we demand that
you will recognize project
Nimbus as a workplace safety and
health concern. We know that the
genocide and BUZZA is one of the
or is the first AI powered
genocide. So we find that big
tech is at the forefront of kind
of like streamlining this
genocide against Palestinians.
Adam Curry: I love the AI
genocide. That's great. Ai
Geneseo title. Ai genocide. Yes.
I mean, seriously, what
John C Dvorak: does one have to
chant to Google? Google, you
can't hide you've committed
genocide.
Adam Curry: If there was too
much background noise in that, I
guess, I guess I didn't I didn't
clip that part. I'm sorry. So
John C Dvorak: yeah, they had a
couple protests have been
sitting in in New York
headquarters. They said end in
Menlo Park, they are Mountain
View. And they fired 28 Out of
the 80 people that are
protesting within Google, this
is another example the call came
within the house. You have
Sergey Brin, a Russian Jew, who
emigrated with his parents in
late 70s. I believe 80s. I used
to have him on silicon and spin
all the time before he became a
billionaire.
Adam Curry: Very didn't take
your call after that surprise.
Pretty much.
John C Dvorak: Once these guys,
it's just typical, by the way I
had to get I got got to go
through the experience of being
like, important enough that you
know, people would take your
call, and then you go become a
podcaster. And you're now you're
doing this what we're doing,
which is much more important and
more meaningful, more trusting
and more trusted, and nobody
takes your call. Because you
know, what can you do with this
podcast? What can you do for me?
podcaster? Yeah, bag podcasts
are so he's so you. Nobody takes
your call. Right. And he's not
the only one. I have a DOB in my
memoir. And I've known, but he
is a really nice guy. Smart. And
he was on the show maybe 10
times, maybe more. And he was
just a sharp guy. And once
bragged about how the Google at
the time in this in the late 90s
had more PhDs working for his
company than anybody, any
company in the world. Oh, yeah.
Adam Curry: Back when they that
was their whole thing. We're
smart. We're smart. That's never
since
John C Dvorak: then they've
gotten you know, they there,
they became arrogant. And the
irony to me is especially after
listening to your little thing
about the Jews running
everything, is you get to Jews
running everything. But yet,
they got these guys in their
company because they've hired
the woke because the Sergey Brin
broke down in tears in front of
Trump won, which was an
embarrassment. It's just it's
out of control over there.
Adam Curry: Okay, two things.
One, a quick. This was, I have a
Trump clip, which I think is
interesting to discuss in that
context. But one more technology
clip. This has been a story that
has been bubbling under and
finally come to the forefront on
the BBC,
Unknown: Apple has decided to re
modify its emoji software.
That's because after a new
update last week, when you typed
in the word Jerusalem, the
iPhone was offering an emoji of
a Palestinian flag. Of course,
Israel and the Palestinians hold
competing claims to the city of
Jerusalem. And as a result, many
have taken to social media to
describe the emoji prompt as
anti semitic. And what's more
strange is it seems to be the
only city in the world where
this is the case, typing in
London, Tokyo or New York brings
up no flag suggestions
whatsoever. Apple is described
it as an unintentional mistake,
which has now been no sure. It's
not the first time that it's
found itself caught up in
geopolitics. In 2019, Apple Maps
began designating Crimea as part
of Russia and then switched it
back to Ukraine after Russia's
invasion.
Adam Curry: So no this is woke
people and I'm sure there's
plenty I
John C Dvorak: know they're
crawling all over the places
that you won't be able to
Adam Curry: get rid of them. No,
no, that's their problem. But
John C Dvorak: here's once
you're in once you I would say
once the woke have infested a
company to extreme that it is at
Google and elsewhere. The
company's just has to fold and
start over the it's just this
hopeless you can't get rid of
them so here's he will ruin your
they're there to ruin your
company because they don't care.
They can No no no the Duchess
socialist communist that they
hate capitalism, short Apple,
Adam Curry: not financial
advice. So definitely not saying
that guy who dances around On
this incredible way is Trump
with his Jewish daughter Jewish
son in law
John C Dvorak: that he made
himself be Jewish for all we
know.
Adam Curry: He, he moves the the
embassy to Jerusalem. Big
friend, big friend of the Jews,
John C Dvorak: God dia, Abraham
records got the Abraham accords
Adam Curry: rolling. But and I
would say a lot of these people
who are, you know, four
brackets. You never see four
brackets Trump, the n and so as
one of his rallies, then these
things never start by accident.
They started the chant and
Trump's response was interesting
is a big problem.
Unknown: He's done everything
wrong.
Adam Curry: They're not wrong.
They're not wrong. And then he
does say he he's done everything
wrong. As in I'm sure the next
line was, that would have never
happened with me. But really
Trump Oh, you're working
John C Dvorak: on a Trump
impression?
Adam Curry: Did you like it? Was
it was that anywhere close?
John C Dvorak: It was close
enough that I think you can come
work and I want to do one I want
to build
Adam Curry: huge ships. When I
think about Thank you. Thank
you. Yeah, really what he really
what do you really have stopped
it? I don't think so. I mean,
there is this the hatred is
really so
John C Dvorak: good. He's so
good bit. Yeah. To say he would
he's he did. I mean, Biden had
an interesting gaffe. I want to
play that by the way. I do want
to get to the Columbia clips.
Adam Curry: Okay. All right. Go
ahead. Go ahead. I'll just add
color.
John C Dvorak: I went by he
played the Biden telling Israel
clip I
Unknown: made it clear to
Israelis don't move on Haifa
instance not. Anyway, I just
look what we did. Recently.
Blame
Adam Curry: it don't move on
Haifa. He meant Iran probably.
John C Dvorak: Well, obviously
didn't mean Haifa, hyphens in
Israel. It's their tech center.
Dome.
Adam Curry: What well, what was
he thinking then? Why was he
thinking like we've got to
protect don't move
John C Dvorak: on Haifa. I was
told the Israelis not to move on
Haifa. Maybe he told the it's
possible that the back channel
was telling the Iranians and
we've already established at
least the basis of our theories
is that the Iranians and Biden
administration are in bed
together. So a lot of this is
theater
Adam Curry: I sent you Did you
see the picture? I sent you
know, the email of Lex.
John C Dvorak: Oh, no, I didn't
get those. I mean, I probably
have to go dig up.
Adam Curry: So my my first boss
ever when I was 19, lex Harding.
He's now 77. I think he
celebrated and I always text him
on his birthday. We're still
good friends. And he married a
girl from Tehran who was had
been living. I think she moved
to Holland when she was nine or
10. But she's significantly
younger. She's in her 50s. And
that she's great for him. I
mean, you want an Iranian wife,
man, I'll tell you. She,
especially when you're an old
dude. Like that was OB T takes
care of him. So they and I knew
that he was going to go to
Tehran, and he's after he's
going to Kabul, so I text him
happy birthday. So are you are
you there? Are you in Tehran
yet? So he sends his picture.
You got to see it. They're both
in traditional Iranian garb. I
mean, it's awesome is a really
funny picture. And he says, yes,
and no one's worried about this.
This is obviously the mullahs
the Iranian. You have Iran. And
then you have the Islamic
Republic of Iran. Those is all
the douchebags that are killing
the women and everyone hates
them, but they're basically
suppressing the Iranians. And he
says all of this is I think his
quote was, it's just flexing
muscles for TV news. And I
believe that and that's exactly
what what we said it was. It's
just flexing muscles for TV
news.
John C Dvorak: Well, so I'm
thinking that Biden comment
about not hitting Haifa was a
message that he that the
administration sent to Tehran.
Hey hit Haifa. Haifa, whatever
it is, we're Intel is. We have
all our tech people. They're
good. They're all in Haifa.
That's excellent. And so he was
telling it the Iranians no
central those missiles but don't
make sure of all at the end and
no, as far as I know, no
missiles were headed that way,
no less. So this is a scam of
the highest order that will be
read yield eventually. But, I
mean, we're just doing this on
supposition theory. Yeah, but
we're so good at this. I'm
absolutely convinced we're
correct. I don't
Adam Curry: break your arm.
patting yourself on the back
there. Alright, let's go to
Columbia then I want to hear
that.
John C Dvorak: Columbia,
Columbia. This is I got it. I
have some clips from the
hearings that I thought were
funny,
Adam Curry: which I want to
play. What are these hearings?
What are the hearings? They had
an education
John C Dvorak: hearing and they
had the President of Colombia
there because Colombia has got
some of the worst anti Jew in
New York by the way, anti Jewish
protests going on pro Gaza, pro
Hamas protests going on at
Columbia University and so they
brought him before the education
some education committee in
Congress. And here's the
overview clip. This is Columbia
Jew haters overview
Unknown: laters from Columbia
University testified before
Congress today on the school's
response to anti semitism on a
campus university president
minutia fique said she's
committed to confronting anti
semitism.
I've held on to four principles.
First, safety is paramount and
we would do whatever is
necessary to ensure the safety
of our campus. Because of those
efforts. The vast majority of
our demonstrations have been
peaceful. Second, we would
demonstrate care and compassion
equally to everyone. Third, we
must uphold freedom of speech,
because it's essential to our
academic mission. But we cannot
and shouldn't tolerate abuse of
this privilege to harass them
and discriminate. And fourth,
the ultimate answer to anti
semitism and all its forms is
education.
During today's hearing of the
House Education Committee
Chairwoman Virginia Foxx
appeared with Jewish students
from Columbia who said they have
faced threats and physical
confrontation. Lawmakers press
should feed over Columbia
professors who praised the Hamas
terrorist group. They include
Professor Joseph Mossad, who
allegedly called the October 7
massacre awesome. And Professor
Muhammad Abduh, who allegedly
expressed support for Hamas on
social media should be said that
Mossad is under investigation
and that the university will
fire up do. Congresswoman Elise
Stefanik said Republicans would
hold Columbia accountable for
failing to protect students.
Meanwhile, the University of
Southern California is also
under scrutiny this week. It
canceled a graduation speech by
a pro Palestinian valedictorian
due to security concerns.
Adam Curry: I have that clip. Do
you want to hear the USC clip?
Yes, I
Unknown: please. Controversy on
campus after USC canceled the
valedictorians commencement
speech citing safety concerns
asthma Tabassum was chosen by
the USC Provost to be this
year's valedictorian selected
from nearly 100 qualifying
students who applied but at
least to pro Israel and Jewish
groups complained to USC about
the choice pointing to Tabassum
social media activity
specifically a link to a free
Palestine slideshow on our
Instagram, which calls for the
complete abolishment of the
State of Israel. The university
has to make the decision about
whether this valedictorian and
her propagation of anti semitic
vitriol online is worthy of
being the representative of the
class of 2024 Tabassum
said she is shocked and
profoundly disappointed.
University is succumbing to a
campaign of hate meant to
silence my voice.
Unfortunately, that is clear. If
you're a Muslim student today,
you don't expect the university
your administration
to stand by you. The
university's
Provost says the issue here is
how best to maintain campus
security and safety period and
that the decision has nothing to
do with freedom of speech. USC
is commencement typically draws
65,000 People university
leadership has not shared
details about potential threats.
Adam Curry: Yes. Isn't that
amazing? You've got Jew haters
out there man. There in your
question
John C Dvorak: is they have 100
candidates to do a valedictorian
speech. And why did they pick
her? They picked her because
they bent over backwards. Just
the opposite of anti Muslim.
Yeah. They said, well, let's do
herb in it and didn't think it
through. Oh, of course. There's
Adam Curry: dopes, dopes believe
it? Oh, man.
John C Dvorak: So let's listen
to the some of the hearing with
this woman who is the head of
Columbia. And this is Jim banks.
There's there was endless clips
like this. It was one of those
situations where they found
someone they could pick on. And
the President of Colombia was
this woman who was easily easily
picked on. So they picked on her
and it's very funny to listen
to. Here's Jim banks versus
Colombia. prexy
Unknown: Can you define for us?
The word Ashika normativity
I am not familiar with that term
I
Adam Curry: believe in Oh Aska
normativity.
John C Dvorak: Yeah,
Adam Curry: that's fantastic.
John C Dvorak: Isn't it? Asking
normativity honestly,
Adam Curry: but what are the
ones just look at this woman? Is
she black by any chance?
John C Dvorak: No, no, she's
not. She's, I think she might be
Jewish. She's looks Jewish. Now,
I didn't say that to generalize,
but to say, what's her? She's
actually cheap. Somebody said
after this was all all these,
you know, after they badgered
her the whole time, they said,
well, a lot of people analyze it
the right the right wingers.
Well, she was better coached
than than the idiots from
Harvard. And she might have been
better coach, but she, I think
she did find it but and they
badgered her, but I think she
held her own. She was good. All
right, let's listen.
Unknown: Can you define for us?
The word Ashoka normativity. I
am not familiar with that term,
I believe it appeared in a
student glossary that was
prepared by a group of students,
it appears in the Orientation
Guide Book that's given to all
of the students at the school of
social work, but you can define
it for us.
No, I'm saying.
I know you seem to be familiar,
but
I'm I don't use that term. I
don't know that term. I believe
that glossary was prepared by
students for other students. I
don't think it's up when it's
handed out you agree is handed
out to all of the students who
the at the orient me that that's
what it is. It's the orientation
glossary of terms for incoming
students at the school of social
work. So
I don't think it's a product of
the School of Social Work. I
think a group of students put
this dude's handed
out to the students at the
School of Social Work. Let me
let me read to you how Ashkan
normativity is defined by your
you seem to you don't know if it
comes from students or
professors at school that asked
normativity is defined as a
system of oppression that favors
white Jewish folks, based on the
assumption that all Jewish folks
are Ashkenazi, or from Western
Europe. So do you have a
response to that definition of
African normativity? Is that
appropriate? This is handed out
to your students by
other students. It is not a
product of the faculty of
Columbia. This is
your standard. See, obviously,
you you you allow this to be
handed out to your students is
that appropriate,
as I said, is is not a product
of the faculty or the
administration. It is something
that a group of students
produced. I don't necessarily I
don't agree with it. I think
it's not very useful. I don't
condone it.
Adam Curry: He's really hounding
her.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, absolutely.
Now they get the Wow. And I
think is it as a wiki entry?
Ashkenaz is the School of Social
Work that is doing this. Oh,
these people are the worst. So
let's go to this. Oh, you have a
doohickey entry. Yeah,
Adam Curry: Ashkan? normativity.
It's in here. So it has quite a
lot. Would you like examples or
his definition? The newish
Jewish Encyclopedia? Wow.
John C Dvorak: You accomplished
Jewish the Jewish Jewish
Encyclopedia
Adam Curry: defines African
normativity as the assumption
that, quote, Jewish life and
culture is limited primarily to
the experience and customs of
Ashkenazi Jews. Well, what's
wrong with that?
John C Dvorak: Well, it's
because it is obviously a
prejudice against the Sephardic
Jews. Ah,
Adam Curry: yes, there it is.
John C Dvorak: So it's like bad.
Yeah, yeah. Okay, well, let's go
to clip two here where he goes,
finds another little tidbit.
That is great. Okay, can
Unknown: you help me understand
something else? I didn't go to
an Ivy League school admittedly.
What? Can you you can you
explain why the word folks is
spelled F O L x throughout this
guidebook and in other places at
the School of Social Work? What
does that mean? I'm serious
question.
We don't know how to spell. I
mean, I'm not familiar with
that.
Adam Curry: Whoa, she says they
don't know how to spell No,
that's that's the woke term for
it. So you don't offend anyone
who's non binary, isn't it? Oh,
so
John C Dvorak: you put x a Latin
X nobody likes this bullcrap.
Adam Curry: I love her answer
that because they don't know how
to spell that says something
about your university lady.
Serious question. They
Unknown: don't know how to
spell. I mean, I'm not familiar
with that. Spelling.
I'm not. I don't find it a
laughing matter.
No, I'm not laughing either.
I think it's I denying that this
is a official product of the
school. But this is handed out
to all of you. You are aware
that is handed out to all of
your students, and you're not
doing anything to stop
it. As I said, it's not an
official product of the
administration is this Columbia
University spells the word
folks. No. Okay. And as does
Columbia University recognize
the word because it's not found
in the Webster's dictionary or
anywhere else Ashkan normative
VT is that is that in tweakable
term at Columbia University.
Congressman I am I am with you.
I you know I agree with you that
I don't find this. Okay.
It means this will this way is
handed out on your watch.
Adam Curry: This is not true.
Merriam Webster has an entry for
folks. No,
John C Dvorak: no I think he
specifically said Ashika
normativity is the one that he
looked up in the dictionary
couldn't find it. Nobody Merriam
Webster has folks with an X Yes.
Well read me the definition.
Adam Curry: The definition used
especially to explicit focus as
folks arrow so the meaning is
folks fol k s, used especially
to explicitly signal the
inclusion of groups commonly
marginalized.
John C Dvorak: Does dumb
Adam Curry: well Merriam Webster
is dumb.
John C Dvorak: Hello, I've gone
in with in the last year or so.
Yeah, with
Adam Curry: vaccine is an mRNA
thing that doesn't work.
John C Dvorak: That's great. So
things are out of control.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah,
they are. I have a couple of
cars of course now we're well,
but let's let's look at this fun
report. So we've never really
known the count of the dead in
in Gaza. You got to say it like
that, by the way, because that's
kind of you don't say Gaza is a
Gaza?
John C Dvorak: Gaza? Because
that's that's because Gu ZZ a
Gaza, Gaza. Gaza. That's
Adam Curry: how you virtue
signal that you're all in. Oh,
you haven't heard this? No, I
have not. So we have not really
gotten closer. Closer.
John C Dvorak: Was our donations
again.
Adam Curry: Why? Why?
John C Dvorak: Why are you on
mocking renunciation of husband?
Yeah,
Adam Curry: I don't care. I'm
too old to carry there. We
John C Dvorak: have our our
supporters and that's the way it
is. Yes.
Adam Curry: Bring it on. Bring
it on. Zinus said those checks.
John C Dvorak: Okay, SARS checks
from Zionists and Intel
Adam Curry: agencies we really,
really you guys are lacking is
no good. It's
John C Dvorak: fallen off the
boat. We do good work.
Adam Curry: So here's here's an
extra 5000 lives, which I'm not
sure if they were counted or
not. And the way this very short
clip reads they should be
counted among the dead. And
actually this should be counted
among the children. This is from
Reuters. And
Unknown: it does mean that a
dean Collini headed Oh Basma IVF
center guys's biggest, he
doesn't know if the Israeli
strike in December targeted the
lab specifically or not. But the
impact of that single blast was
far reaching.
And all these lives were killed
can take away 5000 lives in one
child,
those embryos sperm specimens
and unfertilized eggs for a lost
hope for hundreds of Palestinian
couples facing infertility.
Adam Curry: I'd like to know
where the 5000 embryos Do they
count? I bet you they weren't
counted. But but you know,
that's now you're a nut job.
Republican Christian. Because
they're not children, remember,
are the children. They're not
children. This is very
controversial. I think Reuters
needs to need to clarify.
Alright, let's, let's get to the
retaliation stuff. Let's talk to
the spook or let's listen to the
spook Richard angle and BC
Israel's military
Unknown: tonight is vowing that
Iran will pay for its attack,
Iran will not get scot free.
For US officials tell NBC News.
They expect Israel's response to
be limited and likely involve
strikes against the Iranian
military and Iranian backed
proxies outside Iran. But
caution, Israel's plans may
change. The unprecedented
Iranian attack included more
than 100 ballistic missiles.
Today we visited a military base
where weapons recently used
against Israel are collected and
analyzed what Iran fired was in
a different league. Gazans are
living in an ongoing
catastrophe. today. Our camera
crew filmed the casualties from
an Israeli airstrike on a
market. Medical officials say at
least 11 people were killed and
more than 20 injured. Israel
accuses Hamas of hiding amongst
civilians.
Adam Curry: Yeah, they didn't
really have any good NAT pops or
B roll of the rockets that
didn't hit anything in Israel.
But but but but we should all be
very afraid. Be very afraid
because it Iran is threatening
to bring out the secret weapon.
Unknown: It's just the 17th of
April 2024. Israel and Iran
appear to be a step closer
toward Iran. In fact, it's
threatening to wreak havoc with
a secret weapon. It is
threatening to use a weapon
that's never been used before.
Before, of all puzzle, a movie,
in fact, is the spokesperson for
Iran's national security and
foreign policy committee. And we
recently said, and I'm quoting
now, we will confront any
Israeli aggression and respond
to it, we are ready to use
weapons that we have not used
before. The question is, what
are these weapons? Is Iran
hinting at weapons of mass
destruction?
Adam Curry: Be afraid?
John C Dvorak: Oh, here we go.
Again, be
Adam Curry: very, very afraid.
Oh, yeah. Well, of course, we
know that Iran is just hours
away from a nuclear weapon. We
need to admit it, we need to
crank that up. And we'll do what
we'll do that with, with a
little overview of the
sanctions. Because of course,
what you want to do is you want
to kick these people off of our
money system and you want to
confiscate their money it makes
it makes you so popular in the
world.
Unknown: Just days after Iranian
rockets lit up the skies over
Israel, both the US and the EU
are vowing to respond with new
penalties for Tehran.
I fully expect that we will take
additional sanctions action
against Iran. Is it
Adam Curry: normal, in your
recollection, that the Secretary
of the Treasury comes out during
war time and talks about
sanctions of of quote unquote,
adversaries, adversaries? Or
adversaries either? Yes, that's
British. I can't remember this
doesn't ring a bell now. So but
why they send this old bag out
every single time?
John C Dvorak: She you know,
she's one of the few that was
the head of the Federal Reserve.
So she has some karate toss. I
Adam Curry: suppose. gravitas?
Unknown: Yeah, grabbing
sanctions. Action
Adam Curry: was bank wars,
obviously. But I've never I've
never seen this before that they
sent the banker up
Unknown: against Iran in the
coming days.
I will send to this general
election service, the request to
start the necessary work related
to the sanctions.
new sanctions come in addition
to an already sweeping set of
American and European penalties
against Iran, tied to its
connections to terrorism, its
human rights record and its
nuclear program. The sanctions
include a ban on nearly all US
trade with Iran, the blocking of
the Iranian government's assets
in the US and their prohibition
of US foreign assistance and arm
sales. The penalties have also
targeted 1000s of people and
companies both in Iran and in
foreign countries. That should
be fun for the
John C Dvorak: bullet. This
begin this idea of you know,
wow, this country's hooked us
and so we're going to sanction
this dude. Yeah, hey, let's
sanction Bill Smith, and that
sanction this guy.
Adam Curry: All the Iranians
which you call Persians in Los
Angeles, how about their money?
Is that gonna get sanctioned,
too, because oh, they might have
ties to Iran. Oh, no, that's
really bad for its part. The EU
has oh, by the way, my favorite
guy, who is now just appearing
with Jens Stoltenberg all the
time. Our former Dutch Prime
Minister, Rita, EU member, he's
the guy you have to go home with
who you came to the dance floor
remember him he's coming up for
Unknown: its part, the EU has a
range of sanctions already in
place, including restrictions on
trade, travel bans and the
freezing of assets. Last year,
the EU banned the export of
parts around uses to make
drones, some of which have been
used by Russia during its
invasion of Ukraine, and also
used by Tirana and its attack on
Israel over the weekend. In
recent years, the combined
effect of us EU sanctions have
had a crushing impact on Iran's
economy, effectively putting a
cap on crucial oil exports and
causing inflation to soar.
Meanwhile, with a nuclear deal
in tatters, Iran is said to have
edged closer than ever to having
nuclear capability.
Adam Curry: There it is. Crap. I
thought that had the Dutch guy
in it. I'm sorry.
John C Dvorak: I have a
sanctions clip you might want to
play sanctions.
Adam Curry: Yes, please
sanction. Biden
Unknown: administration said it
will also impose sanctions on
Iran, saying the new sanctions
will target Iran's missile and
drone program and the Islamic
Revolutionary Guard in the
coming days. This came as a
house passed in second batch of
measures to combat the Iranian
threat including seven bills
into resolution. Israel on
Wednesday reported that 14
soldiers and for civilians were
injured by drones and missiles
from Hezbollah near the Lebanese
border.
Adam Curry: Oh, here it is. I
have it. This is Cameron, who's
back on the scene who isn't
either the the new foreign
minister for the UK?
John C Dvorak: I think he thinks
he is a globalist
Adam Curry: douche. Well, he's
all over this report. This is
where the Dutch guy comes in.
Unknown: Israel's allies seem
reconciled to some form of
retaliation, but do not want
further escalation.
The situation is very
concerning. It's right to show
solidarity with Israel. It's
right to have made our views
clear about what should happen
next. But it's clear the
Israelis are making a decision
to act we hope they do so in a
way that does as little to
escalate this
Adam Curry: as possible. What is
this? Well, we hope they do a
little Just don't hurt him too
much. Please just live
Unknown: in a way that as I said
yesterday, is smart as well as
tough, smart
Adam Curry: and has to be smart
kill people smartly.
Unknown: The diplomatic response
is focusing on tightening the
sanctions regime against Tehran,
EU leaders gathering in Brussels
on Wednesday, we'll discuss
that. And g7 foreign ministers
meeting in Italy on Thursday,
we'll do the same Oh, that drone
and missile industries will be
obvious targets. But the Islamic
Republic has a long track record
of managing the effects of
Western sanctions. And
I think there's more that we can
do to show united front that
Iran is behind so much of the
malign activity in this region
backing her mass backing
Hezbollah backing is they need
to be given a clear unequivocal
message by the g7. And I hope
that will happen at the meeting.
Tehran, a military parade mark
the country's Armed Forces Day,
and its President warned of the
consequences of an Israeli
counter attack. I've got a
quartet studying. The Zionist
regime makes a slightest move to
violate our territory and harm
the national interest of the
Islamic Republic. They must
understand that they will face a
severe and heavy response to
Iran's attempted attack against
Israel has united its allies in
its defense. It has also
diverted attention from the
ongoing humanitarian crisis in
Gaza. The Israeli government
will be balancing the need to
deter future Iranian attacks.
The need to keep its allies on
side. Well, I'm
Adam Curry: just full of fake
news today. I thought I had the
touch guy somewhere. Wow, I
John C Dvorak: can't believe you
you dreamed that you had a vivid
dream did that was collusion.
Now you're like you're playing
it out in real time. Like an AI
Adam Curry: podcaster was like
is coming up because I dreams I
hallucinate it. I hallucinate
it. We of course we did have the
part of this Google protests was
the International Day of of
action. Free Free Free
Palestine. I'm sorry. How many
kids did you kill today that
that's the new
Unknown: people protesting the
rising death toll in Gaza pulled
away and cuffed by Miami Police
after blocking traffic on
Biscayne your Bayside in
downtown Miami, we
want to say that we don't want
any more of our taxpayer dollars
going toward genocide funding
the genocide that is unfolding
in Gaza. At least
seven were arrested Monday
afternoon, the demonstration
part of an international day of
protests against the 10s of
1000s of Palestinians, a large
number of them children killed
in the Israel Hamas conflict.
I think it's really
heartbreaking and upsetting that
we do have to take such extreme
measures to get people to care.
And I think it's upsetting that
people don't intuitively care
about the 10s of 1000s of people
in Gaza, who are who have been
murdered and then the millions
who have been displaced and are
starved
Florida Senator Rick Scott plati
Miami police enforcement at
Monday's protest scene on x.
Here's a warning to any leftist
Hamas sympathizers. Don't try
this crap in Florida. We stand
with Israel and our Jewish
community. We won't put up with
you pitching a fit to defend
terrorists. Are you a Hamas
supporter?
No, I do not support Hamas. I
think that needs to be said
really loud and clear. In no way
shape or form? Is this action in
support of the lives that were
lost in Israel? We absolutely do
not agree with senseless murder
of innocent people.
Adam Curry: It's worth
mentioning that Egypt still
hasn't opened their fence.
John C Dvorak: You know that.
That brings me to a thought. Ah,
Adam Curry: here it is. It took
45 minutes but he has the
thoughts. I actually
John C Dvorak: have a thought
okay. Is it is it in some funny
way and being proven by these,
these Hamas supporting pro
Palestinian protests all over
the United States and elsewhere?
That there's actually amongst
the Arab nations and I would say
even Iran who's finances Hamas a
lot of times you finance a
terrorist operation, if you want
to call it that, which I think
is valid, to get keep them away
from you. This is though Syrians
used to do this years ago with
the original guy that ran the
place, he would just buy off
everybody.
Adam Curry: The guy's dad, the
old The old guy, the
John C Dvorak: guy's dad. Yeah.
And so they the idea is that you
just hear, here's the money,
just don't do it just stay out.
Stay out of our business, is
that the Palestinians are
actually and proven to be
generally hated. Yeah. And there
is nobody wants to have anything
to do with them. Because once
they get into a country, they do
what they were seeing here,
which is the protest and make a
fuss, they, they cause trouble,
they make things they follow the
works. They they blocked the
bridge, that's the Golden Gate
Bridge blocked. The Brooklyn
Bridge blocked all these things
that have been happening over
the eighth. There was a 15, I
guess was the day and and this
and this subtle genocide going
on is actually a genocide. They,
the Arabs, and everybody's all
together, let the Jews take the
blame. They're the flame I'll
with
Adam Curry: you on this. I'm
with you on that. I think that's
John C Dvorak: the idea is to
kill all of all Palestinians.
Adam Curry: I think you're
right. It is a genocide.
John C Dvorak: So it would be a
genocide, but it's an a genocide
with the approval of the United
States of, of, obviously, Egypt
of Iran, a Jordan, Saudi Arabia,
everybody. There's not it But
Israel gets to take the take the
brunt of it.
Adam Curry: I think you're
right. Well, I
John C Dvorak: just thought I
mean, it's just because you keep
seeing, you know, there's this
undercurrent of hatred toward
the Palestinians, by everybody,
including they bring it on
themselves, like when they
blocked the Golden Gate Bridge
the other day, which made a mess
in the Bay Area. And
Adam Curry: it doesn't doesn't
make anyone a fan of Palestine.
No,
John C Dvorak: nobody. There's
no fans. These guys that are
making the fuss. Yeah, I would
be very happy they have Dave, I
think they're worn out. They're
welcome in a lot of places.
That's why they don't want to
take them in. They blocked the
door can't come in. So maybe may
explain that to me. Okay, so
Adam Curry: maybe this is okay.
So, Mick, and I have to agree.
I've been the people who are in
Israel that I know who are open
and honest with me. And even
some very conservative people
that I know actually, we live in
Austin. They're like no, kill
them all. We got to kill them
all. Get rid of them all. We're
tired of it, we're done. And
that would be the definition of
genocide. But of course they say
that's really rude Don't say
that. Is then the fear of the
people who are not crazy
brainwashed leftists are they
fearing that we're next well if
you let Israel genocide them
they'll genocide us?
John C Dvorak: I don't think
that's in their in their mindset
yet, yet. Yeah,
Adam Curry: we'll leave that
open.
John C Dvorak: There is this
this fear that you see it on
MSNBC and elsewhere, where
they're talking about Donald
Trump, and how he is the end of
democracy and all the rest of
it? If he gets elected, I mean,
why is it this is bullcrap is
not the end of democracy. If
Donald Trump gets elected, it
won't be the last election ever
like they have said on MSNBC. So
what is their real fear? Maybe
what you said wow, it could be
an underlying it might be just
subconscious. I mean, there has
to be like I've said in this
show we've you've heard it a
million times I think they're
everyone's sincere when they say
what they say. And it's not like
they're phonies. And
Adam Curry: and I want to be
clear, we are anti war we don't
like any of this. No, I don't
like any
John C Dvorak: killing. He
maintain a anti war stance Yes,
for good reason. Yes, war is a
racket is bullcrap. It's a it's
a, it's a scam, and it's just
gets a lot of people killed. But
yes, you know, this is
ridiculous. Well, it's going on
speaking
Adam Curry: about democracy. The
Atlantic had a very thoughtful
article. Titles a surprise
titled democracy dies behind
paywalls. And I would have read
it to you.
John C Dvorak: Were it not
behind a paywall?
Adam Curry: The paywall? No,
yes. These guys are so tone
deaf. The literal owl I think
was Jeff Jarvis who tweeted it
out. You know, like democracy
died died behind he Who did it
because he's on unmastered I
follow him on Mastodon which is
probably
John C Dvorak: he's given up all
these guys. That what they call
the dead bird. Yeah
Adam Curry: the bird say to
democracy dies behind paywalls
the case for making journalism
free at least during the 2024
election by Richard Stengel and
then is behind a paywall. That's
hilarious. These people are so
tone deaf they don't even
understand how stupid they are.
All right, let's pick another
hot topic because dei is is
folding it's imploding upon
itself. I would hate to be right
now today in any company in the
DEI department. This is not
good. I have two clips. The
first one is from Bend Oregon,
where they have some kind of dei
committee for for the for the
City Council then
Unknown: has a volunteer group
that advises it on how to make
local government serve people
who have historically been left
out. We're gonna jump right into
public comment at the human
rights and equity Commission's
usual meeting last month to
start with the folks who are
here in person a dad showed up
with his two young daughters.
They were the first of seven
people who signed up to speak
Hi,
everybody, my name is John
halen. I just you know, my kids
got out of art camp today and I
wanted them to see that there
are people in our town fighting
for equality
recent public opinion survey
show most Americans support D AI
programs, but political
polarization is fueling a
backlash with a vocal minority.
Republican politicians around
the country have sought to end
public dei initiatives. Opinion
Polls show this effort often
appeals to people with racist
views. Ben's dei leaders
experienced this firsthand as
they heard the rest of the
public comments at their last
meeting my pronouns
are fist punch stands for didn't
earn it. White people are sick
and tired of being attacked,
robbed, raped and murdered.
This was just the first act in
what appeared to be a
coordinated performance over
zoom. More disembodied voices
used anti semitic slurs, Nazi
slogans and homophobic insults.
One man chanted the N word over
and over until city staff cut
off his mic. Um,
I'm sorry, oh, that does not
happen often.
Bend Equity and Inclusion
director Andress. Portello was
leading the meeting. So we're
gonna move forward. I'm so
sorry. Let's take a second. And
we'll return to this in just a
bit. Coordinated
Adam Curry: performance. Yes.
Notice how they they didn't know
I can't put any of that in your
report what they actually said.
I liked the pronoun. My pronoun
is fist punch. That's kind of
funny. Now, this is a beautiful
ditty from joy read and this. I
already had it but Moe texted it
to me like, this is here. It is
doing the DEI dirty work.
Remember, most prophesy? He says
they're pushing all the black
women, the racist Democrats?
Because they're racist. They're
racist? Dei, it turns out to be
a very racist thing. Yeah, let's
push all the black women to the
front, let's put them in really
important to positions. And then
when they failed to put Trump
behind bars, but it was the
black ladies. But
Unknown: for me, there is
something wonderfully poetic
about the fact that despite the
fact that even if convicted,
he's not going to go to prison.
The first person to actually
criminally prosecute Donald
Trump is a black Harvard grad,
the very kind of person that his
former staff, the people who
worked for him, Stephen Miller,
etc, want to never be at Harvard
Law School, but he was and he
came out and graduate. He's
prosecuting you, Donald, and a
black woman is doing this same
exact thing in Georgia, and a
black woman forced you to pay
$175 million. Fine, that's out
now also in question, because
the people who put it up, that
might not be legit. Donald Trump
is being held to account by the
very multicultural, multiracial
democracy that he's trying to
dismantle. And for me, there's
something poetic and actually
wonderful about that. It says
something good about our country
that we're still capable of
having that happen. Go dei if my
dei is are bringing it home on
go
Adam Curry: DD I'm bringing it
home. She's on the block to your
watch. She'll be on the block
too.
John C Dvorak: She should be her
show stinks. She's gay ratings
are nothing Oh,
Adam Curry: no one has ratings
on cable anymore. No one is
inconsequential. They're still
getting the they make their
money from the homes, you know,
a buck per home. And that's
dwindling, I think would be the
term. Unless you have something
else I'd like to do some trans
Maoism just to have it all in
one go. That's Get our fill of
everything that's nuts in the
world. Oh, yeah, it was it was
that a yes you you walked away
we
John C Dvorak: go with a transit
I don't have anything that that
fits into the, into these
themes. Okay,
Adam Curry: these couple of
Unknown: pretty short here that
have some breaking news from the
US stop,
Adam Curry: John, whatever
you're doing is breaking news.
It's
John C Dvorak: breaking by the
way.
Adam Curry: I love our
producers. I think it was
Thursday night. I'm in bed and
I'm and I'm just doing a little
I'm doing a little scroll. And
all I see is breaking breaking,
breaking breaking. So I I tweet,
or I guess there's now a slash,
I tweet breaking all uppercase
colon and that's all nothing
after it. Our people are the
best. You could see all the no
agenda people at this hour, you
know, unprecedented. They knew,
Alert, alert, be afraid
everybody knew what was going
on. That was great. That
Unknown: is some breaking news
from the US Supreme Court. The
High Court is allowing Idaho to
largely enforce its ban on
gender affirming care for
transgender children under 18.
While those lawsuits over the
law go forward, Justice Clarence
Thomas was not in court today
and did not participate remotely
in arguments, there was no
explanation given for his
absence.
Adam Curry: What what what are
you saying? What about? Well,
who
John C Dvorak: cares? Well,
there are various Supreme Court
justices Aren't there a lot here
and they're now medicinal? How
is that part of the news?
Adam Curry: Oh, it's breaking.
It's breaking. What do you care?
It's breaking pay attention. Are
John C Dvorak: they doing this
is part of the get Clarence
Thomas out of there. We have
Chevron deference. Yes.
Adam Curry: I hope he's okay.
He's
John C Dvorak: really all about,
let's just slam him as much as
we can
Adam Curry: hope he's okay. Now,
now to well, this is kind of an
odd report, but I think it goes
right along with the trans
Maoist agenda of you know, you
know, allowing anyone to
identify as whatever they are,
what is the the funniest thing
we've had people identify as I'm
a cat. And then there were some
I think most of them were fake.
But there might have been
actually one school that brought
in a litter box because they
demanded
John C Dvorak: it. I believe so
I think believe one school
brought in a litter box. I think
most of it
Adam Curry: was fake. But But I
think if I recall, one at least
did do that. Well, this is a
middle school in Utah. And
parents and kids are let you got
this clip.
Unknown: There was some kids
dress up as animals. And I heard
that I had another kid got bit
by one of them. There's a lot of
speculation surrounding the
protest that happened at Niebo
middle school Wednesday morning.
Nearly 75 students and parents
showed up facing the school,
saying they're unhappy with how
administration is handling
reports of harassment.
This video I Niebo middle school
student took last week, parents
say there's an issue between
some students and others who
call themselves furries or
people who enjoy as cartoonish
animals back when I went to
school, you know, you couldn't
dress that way you couldn't do
certain things. And I think it
kind of needs to go back a
little bit like I know kids need
their own personalities. But
it's ridiculous. When kids are
dressing like animals and
licking and biting people. I
just don't think that's okay.
But the Niebo school district
tells us it's not that extreme
set, Sorenson says no one was
scratching or biting anyone, and
that there are a lot of untrue
rumors going around, actually is
not something that's been
occurring. In fact, a lot of the
information that's been put out
there is completely incorrect
and inaccurate. And so we're
still trying to get on top of
that. Thank
you. This is strudel. A member
of the furry fandom. So they've
been a furry for over a decade.
They have their own opinions as
crazy that it's escalated to
this point where these kids are
fierce
John C Dvorak: people the
problem with this clip is this
is what you're gonna what you're
playing. So I will fix it. Thank
you. She's dressed up as a as a
giant chipmunk. As she's doing
the serious interviewing a
microphone back and forth
between the anchor of the
station and the Chipmunk, who's
muffled voices is what you're
hearing and it kind of do we
lose. This is one of those few
times where we lose we're not
having the video we lose impact.
Yeah,
Adam Curry: we do. But I do like
that the the interviewer says
they
John C Dvorak: did. Yeah, I
didn't catch that at first.
You're right. This is
Unknown: strudel. A member of
the furry fandom. Though they've
been a free for over a decade.
They have their own opinions.
It's crazy that it's escalated
to this point where these kids
are being so distracting to
their peers that their peers
want to stage a walkout or to
have You know, the next
generation kind of muddy our
name and not represented very
well it is kind of
disappointing.
Adam Curry: Yeah, disappointing.
So, I of course have nothing
against furries because we have
furries who listen to the show.
And I think you and I believe
that they're in it for a sexual
kink and that's all good with
me. You do whatever you want
with your furry don'ts
John C Dvorak: actual King come
on. We all know they never have
sex and I brought this up, mate
with you or somebody I brought
this episode where they they
don't have sex. Wearing the
costumes because the costumes
are so expensive. They don't
want to ruin they don't want to
ruin the costume. Yeah. That's
what I'm told. Oh, no, I
Adam Curry: remember. Didn't we
have a furry meetup? There were
ferried as a furry convention.
There was a furry meetup.
John C Dvorak: I don't remember
that. But I do. It's possible.
Furry Yeah, we do have furries
in the audience. Are we used to
unless they're anti Zionist? No.
Adam Curry: And then my final
clip and I want you to open up a
web browser. Get your a Bravo.
You're brave. This came across
my desk. This is a this is a
consult a counseling firm. This
is a group of therapists. They
operate in multiple states in
the South Alabama, but they also
just added Idaho. They they work
on seen that I mean in person
with with clients but also they
do telehealth. So this is this
is what your child the people
who your children might be
counseled by. I'm gonna give you
the domain name John. And then
I'll tell you about the woman
who I clipped here. She's the
CEO. It's yellow bird
counseling.com Yellow Bird
counseling.com. Dominique is the
CEO Dominique Cecil, she
graduated from the University of
Montevideo, Montevallo with a
Bachelor of Science in
Psychology, a minor in vocal
performance and received her
master's in clinical mental
health counseling. And she
started this kushy work to solo
for a while then she started
Yellow Bird Counseling LLC. Do
you have do you have the the the
website up, John? Yeah, it's
John C Dvorak: a bunch of fat
black women.
Unknown: Oh, sorry. What's up,
y'all?
Adam Curry: This is her, um, the
live stream, which is on their
website, then it's not just if
you look at their entire staff.
It's not just a bunch of black
women, but there's a lot of good
one white woman in a hair color
there all day them there are
they are queer. And here's,
here's her little pitch on the
livestream
Unknown: is Dominique, aka, that
therapist. For those of y'all
that don't know me, I am the
lead clinician and CEO for a
group practice known as yellow
Berg counseling. Okay, so what
do we do? What does that mean?
So our normal day to day thing
that we do seven days a week
that I guess or whatever, you
know what I'm saying we do that
now. So we provide counseling in
therapies that we provide. All
right, in the states of
Adam Curry: mind, you imagine
Master's in clinical mental
health counseling Alabama,
Unknown: Louisiana, Mississippi,
New Jersey. And now Idaho, newly
Idaho and you know, I'm sure
with all the search consumption
of potatoes, I don't know, but
this way that we do our normal
day to day activities, but what
do we do here on social media?
Every Thursday evening at 8pm
Central Standard Time, I say is
because one of my clients needs
some one of my therapists need
some like Adam, no, whoo, take
care of that jump on here. So
Adam Curry: we I mean, wouldn't
you be appalled? If this was the
person counseling your child who
has some severe identity crisis
this is to me, this is
appalling.
John C Dvorak: They have merch,
ie, we
Adam Curry: she's flipping her
braids back and forth while
she's doing this
Unknown: go live every Thursday
evening. And we discuss topics
that the general population can
relate to.
Adam Curry: It's not much longer
but I think it's worth it.
John C Dvorak: You know, they
this is like all versions of
John Pierre Claude Van Damme the
the Peru, the spokesperson for
the Biden administration, yes,
they're all her in various
forms.
Adam Curry: This these she is
mentally it's almost like, you
know, most mentally most of the
child trafficking male runs
through Child Protective
Services. And I think that's
the, um, the, I think that
statistic is probably pretty
accurate. The people who are
supposed to be helping your
child art sigh opping them into
this. She's queer, whatever that
means
Unknown: to how we all benefit
from having a therapist. All Z.
Okay, old D. All right. On Deck,
y'all, that's what I'm saying on
deck. Okay, so, um, yeah, that's
what we do. We have a fun time
doing it. Yogur has kind of
expanded a lot, a lot, a lot
with greatness. We've got all
these beautiful types of
therapists. And so I'm just so
for a long time, I've been the
only queer therapist on staff,
just me by myself, and everybody
else was just queer for me,
which is cool, but it's like
different when you have other
queer therapists. So I got me
some queer therapists to join me
and I'm not I'm saying and
they're so cool.
Adam Curry: I cry for these
children. This is this is just
not okay. This should not be
allowed. She's the boss of the
outfits. Okay, Phoebe. She's the
boss of the outfit. Hey, I found
a I think I think Hey, Phoebe.
TVs. Okay. I found the clip with
the Dutch guy.
John C Dvorak: Oh, finally.
Yeah, but
Adam Curry: it's it's related to
Phoebe. It's related to Ukraine.
As you know, there's we got some
real problems now because
everyone's focusing on Israel,
Israel. That's why Israel and
the Lensky is like, give me some
credit, man, give me some give
me some air defenses when he
says we're gonna lose. We're
gonna lose the war. So we have
to ratchet that up whenever
there's another bunch of money
on the table, which is the 61
billion, which I'm pretty sure
will be approved. Because, you
know, Mike Johnson, if he
doesn't approve it, and they
lose the war, which will happen,
they're going to lose. Then the
Republicans will be blamed. Oh,
you killed Ukraine. So he's
really got nothing to lose by
approving it, except maybe his
house speakership. So this is a
Germany, urging EU leaders to
send Ukraine air defenses from
France 24
Unknown: intensifying Russian
attacks, NATO's chief is calling
on allies to beef up Ukraine's
air defense.
We just had an important and
timely discussion on how to step
up further our support to
Ukraine, in particular on how to
provide more air defense systems
to Ukraine. Because the
situation on the battlefield
remains very difficult.
It comes as Germany's making
plans to encourage other
European countries to offer
Patriot missile systems to
Ukraine, after announcing it
would send one of its own. It's
an initiative prime ministers
from Denmark, the Czech Republic
and the Netherlands are keen to
take part in I have great
respect for the commitment shown
by Germany.
Adam Curry: Every go I love his
he's bagged man with his respect
for Germany. Very good, very
good
Unknown: partying. I have great
respect for the commitment shown
by Germany. And we will consider
the sphere first and what ways
we can support to this German
initiative. Are we not better
off sending a few of our own our
own air defense systems to
Ukraine at a time where they not
we are struggling daily to fight
off the never ending Russian
attack. Ukraine says it needs at
least two dozen Patriot air
defense systems to protect
troops on the frontlines and to
defend Hawk heave. The country's
biggest city after key which has
been under attack for weeks.
Iran's drone and missile attack
on Israel over the weekend has
raised questions in Kyiv. About
NATO's priorities but as I say
it was I should say, a sigh
believe it was a signal to all
leaders around the world.
France, Jordan, the UK and the
US have all responded and
supported the protection of
Israel. And here definitely,
they used air defense and
aviation. Many things that
frankly, Ukraine is lacking
yesterday justice because we're
nervous to show great.
Stoltenberg also says he's
optimistic about the US Congress
approving a military aid package
in the next few days. Without it
Solinsky says Ukraine will lose
the war
Adam Curry: care wait until it
is the new Yen's he is he'll be
he'll almost be as good maybe
even better. Remember the
President of the European Union,
the Belgian guy, the one who did
haikus haiku Herman
John C Dvorak: Oh, that guy with
a crack. That
Adam Curry: guy was great. He
was fun. Yeah, so the roots of
it'll be great.
John C Dvorak: So I watched the
Trump speech and I think it was
in Pennsylvania. Yeah, it was it
was latest. Yes. Then his
Adam Curry: new material, new
material. Well,
John C Dvorak: not a lot of it.
He was mad. And you could tell
there was a lot of anger because
of his having to be a New
Yorker, this
Adam Curry: the he's his trials,
not good when he's angry.
John C Dvorak: He's not so he's
not good. But he does have a new
moniker for Biden. That was
worth playing. Is this thunder
Trump?
Unknown: Our democracy is under
siege because of Joe Biden. Joe
Biden loves to say that
democracy is on the ballot in
this election. If it is, we're
going to win to the greatest
landslide in history. Because
we're the ones who are fighting
to save our democracy and
crooked Joe Biden is the
demented tyrant. He's a demented
tyrant who is trying to destroy
our democracy two days from now.
The entire world will witness
the commencement of the very
first Biden trial they're all
Biden trials, you know that
right?
John C Dvorak: demented Tyrant
is good. liked it? Yeah.
Adam Curry: Did you get anything
on the the Boeing hearings?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I got some
Boeing clips. Okay.
Adam Curry: Because this is I
mean, if there ever was a
takedown of Boeing, man, this is
it.
John C Dvorak: I think they're
going after Boeing. It at this
point with these two that when I
started when I recorded the
first one. The second one is to
two parter. I decided or thought
to myself is not a decision to
thought that they're doing this
on purpose. They're going after
Boeing, or some specific or
there's something going on that
we don't know about, well, maybe
they got Airbus money.
Something's up but let's play
these clips. scathing testimony
Unknown: delivered by Boeing
whistleblowers today. They say
Boeing effectively produces
defective planes and everyone
who gets into one is at risk.
And today's Virginia Gibson.
Every person stepping aboard a
Boeing airplane is risk Boeing
whistleblowers gives scathing
testimony on Boeing safety
culture engineer Sam Sala poor
says it's effectively putting
out defective airplanes.
The company's taken
manufacturing shortcuts on the
787 program that may
significantly reduce the
airplane safety serious issues
on the seventh eighth engine
program, not properly closing
1000s of gaps in its assembly of
the fuselage on major joints. A
culture of retaliation prevents
workers like him from reporting
these problems. His boss even
suggested he killed someone who
said what Salah poor said about
playing quality and another
instance he found a nail stuck
into the tire of his car.
It really scares me, believe me,
but I am at peace. You know if
something happens to me, Well, I
am at peace because I feel like
like coming forward, I will be
saving a lot of lives and all my
teeth. Whatever happens it
happens whistleblowers
assert that Boeing prioritizes
profits over safety This comes
after the door blew off of a
Boeing plane mid flight earlier
this year, and various other
incidents engine anti
ice exhaust duct duct fasteners
compromise sealing adhesion
within the center fuel tank,
loose bolts in the rudder
assembly well duck rudder pedals
Miss installed electrical wire
wire bundles in the wings
boilers and then of course the
door blowout.
Adam Curry: I got called Tina
about her return flight from New
York. Stock rudder pedals bolts
in the Are you kidding me?
That's death. That's real death.
John C Dvorak: Well there. Disco
continues with part two former
Unknown: FAA Engineer Joe
Jacobson saw serious flaws with
Boeing's planes. He observed
Boeing hiding these flaws from
government agencies. Former
Boeing manager Ed Pearson says
even the government agencies
have done a poor job.
These agencies have become lazy,
complacent and reactive the
deterioration has been occurring
over several years. Pearson
says the National Transportation
Safety Board the Federal
Aviation Administration, and the
Department of Transportation all
ignored Boeing's problems. Even
after multiple high profile
crashes. If
the leaders of those government
agencies had done their jobs
investigators would have
uncovered a mountain of
important information the FAA
would have known Boeing's
production processes were a
mess.
The whistleblowers want to
change Boeing's entire
production system, one that
encourages people to raise
issues and prioritize safety
over profits.
Adam Curry: Okay, question.
Where's Buttigieg? Isn't he the
boss of these agencies?
John C Dvorak: Yeah,
Adam Curry: He is. So could this
be it just a thought that popped
in my head? Could this be that
they're like, oh, you know, we
don't want that McKinsey guy
getting anywhere near the
presidency to make sure that we
discredit him, but they haven't
called him yet they haven't they
haven't raked him over the coals
and why not? Because, yes, the
FAA is just as responsible for
what Boeing's doing, as the FDA
is for Pfizer from Maderna.
Yeah,
John C Dvorak: I agree. Bear. In
fact, those two down to 737, Max
nines, whatever they were that
Max eight were never fully.
Yeah, the redhead. Yeah. Yeah.
That was one crashes and then
another one crashes and kills
all these people. Yeah, one two
punch. What is the how does that
happen?
Adam Curry: Well, we know how it
wasn't the FAA. The FAA should
have been all over that. Yeah.
Hmm. Well, I mean, I'm surprised
where is Buttigieg This is very
interesting. By the way, there's
someone pointed out to me that
there's a we love Michael
Crighton as a writer. state of
fear was, in essence, the, the,
the screenplay, the script for
what is taking place with
climate change. Yes, airframe,
which I've not read. airframe,
released in 97. The plot follows
Casey Singleton, a quality
assurance vice president at the
fictional aerospace manufacturer
Norton aircraft. she
investigates an in flight
accident aboard in Norton
manufactured airliner that
leaves passengers dead 56
injured. I got now I have to
read this.
John C Dvorak: Yes, you do. To
get to get to get the new rise
when you're finished. You're out
what what's
Adam Curry: gonna happen? Now
this is this is very, as a as an
airman, this is very concerning.
And I would think I think I
reported that it's our Navy
pilots, you know, who are
getting ready to retire, which
happens in your late 30s, early
40s. And, you know, they all of
course, want to go and go on and
keep flying. Typically, they
want DHL, FedEx, you know, they
want these kinds of jobs,
anything without passengers,
please. They all want to go with
Airbus. They don't want to be on
Boeing. And that tells me
something. And I learned that
over a year ago, like now,
what's going on? We don't like
Boeing anymore.
John C Dvorak: It just fell
apart out of the blue. What do
you mean? I mean, Boeing was
rude. You know, a very
competitive when you first
started the show 1617 years ago,
if I'm talking about the Airbus
Boeing battles, yep. And how
Boeing was winning. And there
was no evidence that they were
making junk. Then something
changed between then and now.
Adam Curry: Can they pin this on
Biden somehow?
John C Dvorak: No, no. You can
pin it on the board of
directors, that's for sure.
Yeah, well,
Adam Curry: they can. For sure.
They can pin it on. What's her
face? The who brought him to her
state? What's her name? Oh,
yeah.
John C Dvorak: The governor of
South Carolina. Nikki,
Adam Curry: Nikki Haley, Nikki
John C Dvorak: Nimrod,
Adam Curry: Nimrod, Nimrod
Haley. I guess we don't really
need that. Yeah, let's
John C Dvorak: they moved to
South Carolina as well. That's
when it began with a year old
that was from the
Adam Curry: culture change. Or
maybe they want some kind of
change in in corporate
regulations. This I agree with
you something's up, something's
up. Because a lot of this may
not be as bad I mean, we do not
see aircraft that have broken up
in flight a lot. Which is which
is what they're talking about,
you know, hey, they're jumping
on the on on the wings to make
them fit. So we haven't, there's
no evidence of that happening. A
lot of these things are
maintenance. So remember, United
is just the run by a dude in a
dress. That who is clearly
occupied with other things. Then
quality assurance. We had the
Southwest cowling fly off which
was definitely a ground crew
mistake. But it's all thrown on
to Boeing and yeah, the the
changes to the 737 max for which
they were grounded, which they
made changes, but no one had to
no one had no one went to jail,
even though it was clearly
clearly they big mistake,
including the FAA.
John C Dvorak: So the the
facility in South Carolina
opened in July 2011. And that
seems to be the crux of
everything.
Adam Curry: I don't know We also
have Carolina
John C Dvorak: sigh was used by
two of the subcontractors
bought. Remember Ling temco
Vought, aircraft industries and
global aeronautics joint venture
Vaught and Alenia forgot about
aeronautical to build sections
of the fuselage, composite
materials. That's where the
780 777 87 is made there
Adam Curry: is a spirit
aircraft, whatever it's called,
is that a public company?
John C Dvorak: I don't think so.
Okay, well, the
Adam Curry: I keep hearing that
they're definitely going to
split that into and one half
will go back inside of Boeing
and the other half will continue
to make parts for Airbus. And
it's still It could just all be
Airbus. I mean, hold on. I have
a well let's take a look here. I
have France 24, who would be on
the Airbus side of the equation
was listened to their report
Unknown: literally saw people
jumping on the pieces of the
airplane to get them to aligned
those are the lengths that
Boeing will go to to put
production over safety. An
engineer at the airline TOLD US
lawmakers to Senate Committees
on Wednesday piled more pressure
on Boeing, which is under
multiple investigations are some
Santa Paws said he was
threatened for raising his
concerns internally plane crash.
In a rush to address the
bottlenecks in production.
Boeing had problems pushing
pieces together with excessive
force to make him appear that
the gaps don't exist even though
they exist. Effectively they are
putting out defective airplanes.
Boeing
says these claims about the 787
Dreamliner are false and says it
hasn't found cracks while
maintenance in nearly 700 of the
aircraft. Regulators have
limited production of another
aircraft the 737 max after a
door panel blew off during an
Alaska Airlines flight in
January. In 2018, and 2019, two
other 737 Max aircraft crashed,
killing 346 people. Another
whistleblower said nothing
changed in Boeing's culture
afterwards.
Hundreds of people died and
there's been no justice unless
action is taken and leaders are
held accountable. Every person
stepping aboard a Boeing
airplane is at risk.
Boeing has announced a
management shakeup as deliveries
fell by half in March. So
Adam Curry: it's definitely
hurting the bottom line.
John C Dvorak: Here. Let me read
something from the wiki page.
Okay. Quality control issues.
The South Carolina plan has been
accused of shoddy production
ignoring safety defects in the
airplanes in favor of meeting
deadlines in 2019, following the
discovery of exterior damage on
planes of manufacture in
Charleston. For a time Qatar
Airways would only accept
delivery of Dreamliners
assembled in Everett. Later that
same year KLM which had
discovered loose seats missing
an incorrectly installed pins
nuts and bolts not fully
tightened, and a fuel line clamp
left unsecured on his jet
complained that the standard of
manufacture was way below
acceptable standards. Early in
2020, Boeing engineers
discovered depressions in the
787 vertical tail fin which
could lead to structural failure
under limited loads affecting
hundreds of planes on our vast
majority of the fleet, eight 780
sevens were grounded due to the
issue which had been discovered
in August 2019 At the South
Carolina plant, but we did this
it goes on and on. Yeah, this,
this South Carolina as a
manufacturing hub, which I think
car manufacturers are using to
obviously not to demean the
citizenry of South Carolina.
They're not up to the standards
that they need to be if they're
going to be doing this sort of
work. The
Adam Curry: only other thing I
can I can surmise, because it
has been going along
consistently whenever something
happens to an aircraft, whether
it's airline related maintenance
related or manufacturer related.
The first thing you read in
social media as dei to maybe
it's a big push to, to to kill
Dei. Could
John C Dvorak: be just about I
think this is I think this is a
going on everywhere. They push
to kill Dei, because it's
showing it I think it's a valid
push because I think dei is you
notice it in the everywhere.
Adam Curry: Oh, you're noticing
I noticed it. You're noticing.
All right. Well another thing
Pete Buda judge has not really
been in the news for Where is
Pete is the Key Bridge the
Francis Scott Key Bridge and
there are some updates
Unknown: we are following
breaking news. Breaking news
into the wavy newsroom. The FBI
opened a criminal investigation
into the Francis Scott Key
Bridge collapse.
The Washington Post reports the
FBI is investigating whether the
crew of the dolly left the port
knowing the vessel had systems
problems. Authorities are also
reportedly reviewing the events
leading up to when the dolly
slammed into one of the Francis
Scott Key bridges support
pillars. And
Adam Curry: we already had one
dockworker, who said oh yeah, I
know there were problems with
the electricity with the with
the reefers, which is the
refrigerator, refrigerated
containers and there's another
one.
Unknown: A desperate mayday call
to
get to the other side of the
bridge. Down made
too late. Killing video
capturing the minutes leading up
to the tragedy showing the ship
losing power lights flashing on
and off before striking a
support sending the bridge
crumbling down this week. FBI
agents boarding the vessel
conducting a criminal
investigation into the earlier
hours seeking warning signs that
may have been missed or ignored.
Like what crane operator Damian
Tucker,
I've been working 15 hours on
that vessel claims to have
witnessed firsthand I was
radioed up from the reefer
mechanic and some of the
Longshoremen on a ship that was
lashing containers that night.
They were having electrical
problems getting power to
reefers
reefers are refrigerated cargo
containers used to transport
perishable goods in the two
decades, Tucker's worked at the
Port of Baltimore loading and
unloading 1000s of reefers that
happen often.
No it doesn't happen off and
you're 23 years
how many times have you
experienced where Reapers are
struggling to get power, maybe
twice echoing his account the
Associated Press quoting an
anonymous source claiming while
the ship was still dumped,
alarms went off on some of its
refrigerated containers
indicating an inconsistent power
supply. Tonight the NTSB not
confirming or denying the claims
only willing to say a
preliminary report of their
investigation will be released
in the coming weeks.
Adam Curry: Where's Mayor Pete?
Nowhere to be found. And by the
way, Mayor Pete Mr. Dei, Mr.
Dei, remember all the all we
need to have with but we got to
have bridges have to be raised
so the black schoolchildren
could get underneath it to go to
the beach
John C Dvorak: to commemorate. I
remember the bus is too tall to
go underneath this thing.
Breach. Yeah.
Adam Curry: I remember that.
Okay. I have a couple of big
pharma things and then we can we
can thank some people unless you
have something else you'd like
to know
John C Dvorak: if you're gonna
go big firm. I do have the RAND
Rand Paul, visit a to the Hill,
which I thought was very, yeah,
you
Adam Curry: went to you even put
a little thing on Twitter. You
said you should be watching
this. And you know what everyone
did? Oh, wait for the show.
John C Dvorak: I think that was
related to something not this
particular
Adam Curry: budget. That was
that was that was this
particular clip you said? wasn't
okay. Yeah. You said everyone
should watch this.
Unknown: It's very educational.
All right.
Adam Curry: What are we what are
we going to be listening to?
John C Dvorak: This is Rand Paul
on the hill. That TV you know
that whatever it is from the
magazine, crystal ball? No, not
those guys are long gone out to
new guys. And he's pretty much
summarizing all of the
complaining that he's been doing
and I I took what I get
Adam Curry: on Wuhan, Wuhan
related.
John C Dvorak: I got three clips
in this yes about the virus and
how it's like, we've been
scammed every which way.
Unknown: We've known of course,
that eco Health Alliance had
pitched the diffuse project to I
believe the Defense Department
did not procure funding for that
project, although you know
whether that research was going
on or had gone on any way or
continued is an open question.
But now you're saying that it's
it's far from this lone agency
that knew about this project,
who else in the government knew
that scientists were trying to
get government funding to make a
virus that would have looked
like COVID
It's important to know that we
only know anything about this
because of a whistleblower. So
in 2021, a lieutenant colonel
Marine Lieutenant Colonel Joseph
Murphy, at DARPA came forward
and he said he'd been looking
for research like this because
he was convinced that it was
going on. He went to a folder, a
computer folder, and he looked
for this and it wasn't there.
Then he saw another exchange
between myself and Fauci. And he
saw the tension heating up and
he went back to the folder and
looked at all the sudden, the
document was there. And the
document indicated that Wuhan
lab was working with UNC Ralph
Eric, and with Peter de Zak at
Eco health, and their proposal
was to take a Coronavirus, which
is not very infectious in humans
usually, and make it more
infectious in humans by putting
a special cleavage site called
the Furin cleavage site and what
DARPA passed on this DARPA said,
Well, damn, that sounds a little
bit crazy. Create a virus that
could be so contagious, because
Coronavirus can be deadly, but
it's typically not very
contagious. Now you're going
Devine, combine deadly with
contagious you got a real
problem. And so they turned it
down. And so we always said when
2020 happened and we saw the
sequence of COVID-19 alarm bells
should have gone off and DARPA
and they should have come
forward and warned us that Wuhan
had already proposed to create a
very similar type of virus. And
no one did no one from DARPA
came forward. So we've always
faulted the people at DARPA and
think they were covering it up
other than the whistleblower. I
Adam Curry: don't like two
things that he said there one
toy computer folder, okay. Sure.
That is Microsoft SharePoint,
whatever stuff goes away. The
other thing is he makes it sound
like a Coronavirus will kill
you. It's the flu
John C Dvorak: no no
Coronavirus, more of the cold a
Adam Curry: cold I'm sorry. But
it's not I mean, not not more
deadly than your your yearly
cold and flu season. He makes it
sound like oh, there's a
Coronavirus.
John C Dvorak: All right, well,
that they'd be reasonable
complaints that's going to clip
the second part of this. Now
Unknown: we know the
presentation for this research
was given to 15 agencies,
including the NIH, and the NAI,
the NAI D, which is Fauci
division of NIH. And worse than
that, not only were they
briefed, the original diffuse
proposal, we now know included
work to be done at the Rocky
Mountain lab in Colorado that's
owned by Fauci is division of
the NIH. So it doesn't pass the
cardinality test, that somehow
Anthony Fauci knows nothing of
this. So we've actually come up
with another criminal referral
for him, because in committee
and HELP Committee, he tells
Senator Roger Marshall, that he
knows nothing of this diffuse
grant. And also in Missouri
versus Biden the court case in
deposition, he says he knew
nothing of this diffuse grant.
And yet now we know, his agency
was briefed, and his agency was
going to be part of the original
proposal.
Adam Curry: Does he want Fauci
behind bars as he wants? It's
John C Dvorak: been after Fauci
ever since Fauci looked him in
the eyes and lied to him. Yeah,
yeah. And he's been really after
Fauci, he's gonna get he says, I
don't get him clip, I'm
Adam Curry: gonna get him. No, I
John C Dvorak: have the clip of
I don't have the clip of doing
this longer than I have here,
where he says, you know, there's
no chance to, or just this
Justice Department's gonna do
anything about Fauci. He's lying
in front of Congress, but he's
gonna stay on this. So here's
the last of this,
Unknown: you would think some of
these federal agencies would
feel a little bit of contempt or
would want accountability from
the people at, for instance, eco
Health Alliance, whom we now
know, just came from us right to
know that the proposal to
diffuse project privately the
scientists admitted that they
were trying to mislead the
government about where the
research would be done, because
they knew if they while they
intended to do a lot of the
research in Wuhan, China, they
knew if they told the government
that that would raise red flags,
because the safety standards
there are more lacks, why aren't
our public health accountability
agencies, very frustrated that
they were misled by these
scientists? It
boggles the mind. Because
typically, people from the left
really see a big role for
government in safety and
malfeasance. If this were a
private company making baby
formula, they would have shut it
down. And you know, people would
have gone to jail seriously, if
it were a private company doing
this, but it happens to be
government. And I think that
their love of government and
central planning causes them to
defend irrationally, to defend
things, even when they're
grossly mismanaged or when
there's gross negligence or even
lying and malfeasance. They
defend it to the end. I mean,
Anthony Fauci has been given
million dollar awards by left
wing groups, million dollar
awards, he still has a limo and
security service, 24 hours 24/7
Even though he's supposedly
retired, so I mean, the love
goes on. And I think it's really
the love for central planning,
and they see the attack on Fauci
or anything that went wrong as
an attack on centralized
authority. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: I thought that
was a very interesting analysis.
It is.
Adam Curry: Unfortunately, I
think we both agree that the
real death came from all of the
remedies and the real
devastation is coming from the
remedies. Specifically
remdesivir and
John C Dvorak: basil of it is
turns out to be useless.
Adam Curry: And so called
vaccines, which are now the
number one reason for getting
COVID is because you have three
vaccines of COVID. This is now
mainstream. The report the
glare. So let's just talk about
adverse events for molissa. It's
fine. And I think Fauci
definitely needs to be in
justice needs to we need justice
on that. And I hope Rand Paul
gets it. But I'm much more
concerned with what the media in
collusion with Big Pharma is
doing to people who still trust
them.
John C Dvorak: They're not in
collusion. Big Pharma just tells
you, they
Adam Curry: just tell them what
to do. Yes, I'm sorry, the Silly
me. So one of the obvious bad
effects of mRNA not for
everybody, but for a lot of
people is heart issues. And just
so you know, the glare of car
headlights can now be a risk for
a heart condition. Yes, so the
dazzling LED headlight beams are
now to blame for heart
conditions. Not the vaccine, not
the vaccine, no vaccine. Now,
what if you heard someone had
liver problems, kidney problems,
what would you say might be the
cause of that?
John C Dvorak: There'd be a lot
of things too much Tylenol?
remdesivir.
Adam Curry: Well, yeah, that
would be remdesivir. I would say
remdesivir. Okay, not a health
alert and a disgusting reality
for New Yorkers. Yeah,
Unknown: city officials say that
they're seeing a rise in a
sickness from rat urine. It's
called leptospirosis and left
untreated, it can cause kidney
failure and liver damage. There
were 24 cases of it last year.
That's the highest number every
single year and so far this year
six cases have already been
reported.
Eyewitness News reporter Darla
Miles is in the newsroom with
everything you need to know
about this. Darla
Liz David, as you know, rats are
an inevitable part of life here
in New York City and have been
for the last 250 years. So much
so you have seen entertaining
videos of them go viral very
quickly, like the pizza rats.
But as we talked about, rat
infestations come with rat
droppings, that can cause severe
illness, even death. And listen,
David, there's nothing
entertaining. The problem
leptospirosis and infectious
disease caused by rat urine that
can lead to potentially fatal
infections of the kidney, liver,
brain, lung or heart. The city
issuing a health advisory about
an uptick in cases a record high
of 24 cases in 2023. The trend
continuing upward with six cases
so far this year. Why
Adam Curry: is this breaking
news?
John C Dvorak: Six well, they
themselves just said the rats
have been infesting that town of
New York City for the last 250
years. Exactly. If they had
dropped that part of this story
and said the rats are worse than
ever. But they didn't say that
because the rats aren't worse
than Oh, so to be the same as
they've always been to places
infested smells
Adam Curry: like cover up I
don't like it. I don't like it
at all. rat urine memo to self
don't drink rat urine. Now
there's a good memo. Now the
testing industrial complex ramps
it up a little bit more.
Remember, we need to get
everybody thinking that they
have cancer and ramp it up for
the magical mRNA cancer
vaccines. So let's go with our
favorite shall we? Colon cancer.
Unknown: Deeper sedation may be
the prescription for a better
colonoscopy. When patients are
in a deeper state doctors can
more efficiently detect certain
polyps. The result according to
a study in the Journal of the
American Society of
anesthesiologist superior cancer
detection and prevention. The
study showed propofol provided
higher quality colonoscopy than
conscious sedation. Serrated
polyps are difficult to detect
precancerous lesions, nearly all
colon cancer start as small
growths called polyps,
identifying them and removing
them prevents them from
developing into cancer.
Definitely not going for that.
John C Dvorak: Well wasn't there
now this was about a year or two
ago and we never clipped it. But
there was a big scandal because
it turned out that colonoscopy,
according to the Statistisches
didn't do any good.
Adam Curry: Remember that what
we've been talking about that
for two weeks?
John C Dvorak: No, I'm saying
that this is when this report
came out that colonoscopy.
puppies were given a bad they
just given no, don't get does
not worth it doesn't do any
good. It's like forget it. And
that storage has disappeared off
the front page.
Adam Curry: Well, it's kind of
come back. This is why this is
how I come up with
John C Dvorak: a distributed
just the opposite of counting.
But this is coming back as
though they're effective.
Adam Curry: Oh, no, no, of
course. I mean, this, the
medical studies are there but
that Hello, this is the media.
Now the media is being told,
hey, get everybody and we now
have even more effective
Testing, it's even better. We
can we can push the thing
further into your colon with
propofol Michael Jackson's drug
of choice. And, and we can see
the precancerous polyps even
better to get you on the
program. No, hard no on that.
But luckily, luckily, AI to the
rescue for Parkinson's
Unknown: as technology becomes
more readily available in
medicine, doctors may have
better tools to defeat disease.
University of Cambridge
scientists, for example, say
Artificial intelligence has sped
up the ability to identify
Parkinson's disease treatments,
AI accelerates the search for
medications to relieve Parkinson
symptoms. by 10 times. According
to the researchers, AI rapidly
found compounds to block the
clumping of a protein associated
with Parkinson's decline. The
Cambridge team used machine
learning to screen an entire
library of millions of entries,
intimately finding five highly
potent compounds for further
investigation. The team is
pretty excited about their
research. And they point to the
possibilities for AI to aid in
finding relief for other
ailments as well. We had to see
this coming. Right. And now I
think it's actually coming to
fruition.
Adam Curry: Oh, thank you so
much. Oh, yay. You had to see
this coming, right? Yes, of
course. I, one of our producers,
went to a went to a pizza dude
named Ben. He went to a big AI
conference. And everybody there
was complaining about how no
matter what business they were
in 20% error rate on everything.
20%. And, you know, he would
say, Well, are you going to
implement it? Oh, yeah. Why?
Because the other guys are.
That's what's happening. This is
big hype. Yeah. 20% error rate
is significant. If you're in
finance, or medicine.
John C Dvorak: It's really bad.
If you did if you had 20% error
rate with optical character
recognition. Yeah. Which is bad
because it has one or 2% error
rate, it would be unusable.
Yeah, it
Adam Curry: is unusable. But
unless what give me $5 trillion,
and I can make it work. We need
more money. We need more. You
know what it's going to come
down to? It's going to come down
to power. No one, no one taught
all these all the climate
change. People like AI is great.
It's going to solve climate
change. Now, if anything, if you
believe your logic, it's going
to make it worse because they're
running out of actual power to
power the data centers that they
need for this stuff. It won't
even be the chips anymore. It's
like how can I get cheaper
power? Yeah. Last thing I have
here is measles. They're still
on that tip. The Big Pharma has
told their media subordinates to
promote measles vaccine, it's on
the rise. It's horrible. To your
recollection, if you got
measles, you never get it again.
Right. It's like you get it was
one and done. As far as I can
tell, was the measles vaccine.
Wasn't that always just
effective?
John C Dvorak: Well, I'm sorry,
what?
Adam Curry: Measles vaccines
have been around for for a long
time. No one really gets them.
But they're supposed to be
effective. It's an attenuated
virus. Yeah, supposedly. Well,
no, I mean, they're talking
percentages now like it's COVID.
But let's talk about
Unknown: this recent measles
outbreak. There have been seven
outbreaks with at least 121
reported cases this year.
Whoa. Yeah. So this is an
important medical headline you
guys and I think if we remember
back to 2020, we've learned how
important it is to keep our eye
on everything that's going on in
the world of public health and
infectious disease. Notice
Adam Curry: how she throws in 22
If we learned anything, we got
to keep our eye on public
health, everybody vaccines,
you've got 2020 COVID
Unknown: and measles is a big
one. Let me take you through it.
First of all, some measles one
on one this is actually the most
highly contagious respiratory
virus on Earth, with cold like
symptoms and a rash as the
typical way that it presents.
Nine out of 10 unvaccinated
people if exposed to measles
will become infected. It can
easily be mistaken for another
illness and that's part of why
the CDC is sounding the alarm
because so many health care
providers have never actually
seen a case of measles. In this
country. It is airborne
transmissible through the air.
Children are particularly
vulnerable. And we have a
preventative way out of this you
guys with a two dose vaccine
that's 97% effective at
preventing illness. Again, it's
in our toolbox. It's not being
used and that's why the CDC
continues to put this on our
radar because we're seeing cases
go up and up and up to
Adam Curry: number she threw out
there 97% effective two doses,
John C Dvorak: two doses. When
did that happen? Oh,
Adam Curry: it's twice the
money.
John C Dvorak: Hello to what was
the numbers? She threw out the
people that had measles? Oh 121
There's 126 people that were
killed in Oakland in 2023. It
seems to me that that's more
important. And that's one little
city.
Adam Curry: Let's just finish
this off with 30 seconds of what
makes this spike the spike spike
in measles. What makes it so
different? We have
Unknown: seen the occasional
outbreak here and there here in
the United States. So is this
particular outbreak any more
concerning than the others?
outbreak
is year to date? It's
17 fold higher and again, the
vast majority of people if in
fact, women,
Adam Curry: it's 17 fold higher.
So what was it before? What's
121 divided by 17? With this
testimony, certainly than the
others it
Unknown: is up to date it is
seven
John C Dvorak: bullcrap numbers.
Yeah.
Unknown: 10 fold higher. And
again, the vast majority of
people if infected with measles
will be fine, but it can cause
serious illness encephalitis,
pneumonia, and particularly
vulnerable are unvaccinated
children. Almost all of these
cases that we're tracking in
this country are amongst
unvaccinated people. So again,
very alarming.
Adam Curry: Alarming pandemic of
the unvaccinated again,
John C Dvorak: and the cheapy
pushing these things. Measles
deaths
Adam Curry: as measles does, all
right, everything else is just
John C Dvorak: fair and no
reported deaths of measles
related to measles this year.
That's 2023 which is you know,
recent 20 They reported among
all age groups with the highest
percentage of unvaccinated 86%
observed in the past five years
past five years is nobody died.
So why are we all freaked out?
Adam Curry: Oh, no. I'm sorry. I
do have one more clip to play
because I think that we have a
My dawn to situation on our
hands. Have you been? Oh yeah.
My Dawn was the 2014 cover for
the coup that Victoria Nuland
put on the put in place in
Ukraine, then installed a whole
new government? We're going back
to an old favorite, which I
think was kind of a test for
Ukraine. We're back to Georgia.
The country is it Republic is
Georgia Republic. Yeah. Republic
of Georgia. Yep. Well, we have
my Dawn two on our hands, I
think. Yes.
Unknown: You know, Russian law
Read a banner outside the
Georgian parliament, over a sea
of 20,000 protesters in central
stability. This against the so
called foreign influence law, a
law many Georgian see as a
rustling import designed to
stamp out dissent. I mean,
there's an unprecedented number
of people gathered here. We
Georgians can be hungry or
thirsty. But the freedom and
dignity is what matters the
most. That's why we're standing
here.
Opposition lawmakers boycotted a
parliamentary vote on Wednesday,
but not without fierce debate.
I've got a big doubt. How dare
you? Moral right. Do you have
the Russian agents to call this
country's patriots? People who
have been defending the people
in honor of this country for
years? How dare you call them
foreign agents
to build one a comfortable
majority with the votes of 83
out of 150 MPs put forward by
Georgia's ruling party. The bill
is marketed as a way of
combating so called pseudo
liberal values imposed by
foreigners. It would force media
and non commercial organizations
to register as pursuing the
interests of a foreign power if
they receive more than 20% of
their funding from abroad. and
EU foreign policy chief Josep
Borel confirmed what many
Georgians fear that the bill
does not align with EU values,
and as such would compromise
Georgia's accession to the bloc.
Ruling party reintroduced the
bill this month, it must now
pass at least two more readings
in Parliament to become law and
one final vote to overcome a
presidential veto.
Adam Curry: So this seems like a
whole setup. You got 20,000
people out there, they're waving
EU flags. Because of course
everyone has an EU flag at home
though Yeah, sure. Everyone's
got some pre printed signs and
all that this is about as if
this you're an NGO you got to
register if you're getting money
from Russia, not from America
but from Russia. I'm I'm
concerned about this, especially
with the ascension ascension to
the EU bit and then beating each
other up in the in the
government. They're like running
up and beside we're punching
each other
John C Dvorak: well since
Victoria Nuland is not around
and I know and you know cookies
I
Adam Curry: well if we see here
with cookies we'll know it's on
deck let's hope not. And with
that I'd like to thank you for
your courage in the morning to
you the man who put the sea in
the coordinated performance
ladies and gentlemen say hello
to my friend on the other end V
one the only Mr. John Cena
John C Dvorak: Memorial ship see
boots on the ground feet in the
air subs in the water the Dames
and the dames is a nice day in
Adam Curry: the morning to the
trolls over there and they
were down 300 Trolls we had 1742
on the last Thursday broadcast.
We are down to 1456 I think the
medic I think the rat urine did
it hey boy about
John C Dvorak: the rat the rat I
think the rat urine my mistake.
He's gay stain
Adam Curry: my mistake. I should
not have done the rat urine
story but we love every single
troll who is here with us and
listening live. We do it live on
Thursdays and Sundays no agenda
stream.com which is 24 hours a
day and specifically troll
room.io where you can log in. I
think even void zero told me
someone's redoing no agenda
chat.com is it.net.com which all
of these go to the same place. I
like troll room.io So anyway,
we're gonna get an overhaul it's
going to look beautiful. Now
it's very simplistic. It's been
that way for, I don't know, 10
years. Very simple page. That's
where you can go if you want to
be a troll there or if you are
already an established troll, go
to troll room.io We start the
show 11 Central time on
Thursdays and Sundays at 9am.
Pacific for John and a noon.
Eastern Time for Andrew
Horowitz. And you can join us
all and troll around there's
been some good trolling has been
good. Oh, I see. Sir Boris says
that. They it was 1811 about
about 20 minutes ago. So it's
just quittin time I think we're
late. We're definitely we're
running late. So I'm not too
concerned. I love our trolls.
You can also get an alert when
we go live and many podcasts
which are live specially the
ones on the no agenda stream by
getting a modern podcast app at
podcast apps.com You can select
one there the podcast index we'd
like we got the top marks at the
most recent podcast, movement,
whatever that is the big
podcast. We don't know
everybody's happy. Everybody's
happy with what we're doing the
number one innovation above
Apple and Google There you go.
John C Dvorak: That doesn't take
much. Still, I mean Apple still
hasn't put a touchscreen on a
laptop. I know you're still
don't have a folding phone which
has been in play for years now
years and years. In
Adam Curry: the wild the other
day we were at a concert and a
lady was filming and she had one
of those it's a big screen when
you open it up as
John C Dvorak: Dynam as JC has
one was killed JR and I am I
would take the I would go back
to using a phone I might do that
just because this phone is so
terrific. And it has a huge
screen when you unfold it
Adam Curry: you know we're now
the everyone in tech is kind of
going out of business and tech
podcasting. We may have to bring
bring back the tech segment or
the or the tech grouch
John C Dvorak: the tech garage
needs to be re re needs to be
found I don't know where he's I
think he's living out in
Arizona.
Adam Curry: Let me see do I
still have those jingles?
John C Dvorak: No The one of the
phone Bakelite phone I think
that's the one I could do a good
imitation of him
Adam Curry: Well here you go try
this
John C Dvorak: the good phones a
landline and the phone should be
made out of Bakelite bring
Adam Curry: that guy back
John C Dvorak: I think right to
Tech Tech podcast seem to be
this because a tech new nobody's
Adam Curry: there's no harm is
there's no advertising for tech
news anymore.
John C Dvorak: There's no
advertising they can't do the
value for value.
Adam Curry: Well, they could but
they just they
John C Dvorak: could they do
they don't know. And because
they all bought into the you
know you go to the seminars, you
go to those podcasts meetups,
you go to the big you know, the
conventions of podcasters. And
all they have seminars on how do
you get advertisers? I don't
think that one guy's ever pushed
the value for value model on
these nodes.
Adam Curry: fact you know, they
invited me two years ago to go
to the big one in Dallas. I went
and they they put me in a in a
back room during lunch. Like,
here you go, here you go value
boy.
John C Dvorak: Really want a
second, let me get this
straight. Didn't you basically
invent podcasting? I would say
that so why wouldn't you be
given the keynote? Yeah, I got
the lunch
Adam Curry: keynote in a back.
Because that's not what they're
about. They don't care. They're
all about ad dollars, Donald
Dolla dolla, you see, but all
these conferences are real.
Everything is geared around
bringing new people into
podcasting. Because every the
whole everyone's you know, it's
stagnant right now. And so how
can we bring new money new
people into podcasting? Two
years ago, it was all Dei, you
had bipoc podcasters, you had
African podcasters. And they
were getting money from big
corporations like Amazon, like
Oh, yeah. Oh, yes, we have. We
have a dei checkbox in between
there we go. We've got a bipoc
podcast, we're funding we're
advertising on it. And and you
know, these were $500,000 a year
productions. And then once the
free money was gone, same
problem was discussed earlier.
That money dried up and a bunch
of dei people standing around
going what?
Unknown: And there's our money.
And so all
Adam Curry: the podcast hosts,
they're also you know, the
hosting companies. They they
need they have churn so they
need more people coming in. And
the advertisers, you know, ever
since the the I iOS podcast
pocalypse, where 25% of the
downloads went away, because it
was phony. You know, it's like,
oh, well, we don't want to put
our money there. So were they
doing well, YouTube? YouTube is
now podcasting. And then, you
know, Google closed their
podcast app. Thanks. And there's
Oh, no music. The Yahoo a
YouTube music is now where you
find all your podcasts. Do you
see what they're doing? They're
trying to do the same thing they
did to Google Reader. Not Want
It won't work. But everyone's
like, Oh, yeah, no, if you're a
podcasting, you really need to
have video it without video.
You're not a podcast? Do you
need to be on YouTube with your
podcast? Everyone's this is the
this is an ongoing, very boring
conversation in the podcast
industrial complex, every single
day. Oh, yeah. The people are
seeing podcasting is an RSS
feed. No, it's what the people
think it is. So if it's people
sitting around with headphones
and microphones, it's a podcast.
Are you having fun? Yeah, that's
that's really what's happened.
I'm
John C Dvorak: glad you keep up
with this.
Adam Curry: I have to because
I'm keeping open podcasting
alive. Which is doing quite
well. It's just no one's making
money. Unless they're doing
value for value. That's it, then
that is the future you
John C Dvorak: don't get you
know, you you'd like to thank
you. And I hate to do this,
Adam Curry: you are you going to
slam me? No. Yeah, I
John C Dvorak: should. But no,
you don't get enough credit.
where credit is due generally
speaking, even though I It pains
me to say that. You get short
cheated, for all practical
purposes, and not recognized for
what you're up to, which I think
is worth a Nobel Peace Prize or
something. A Peabody Award
anything? Well, it's just not
gonna happen. You promised for
whatever reason, because people
hate you.
Adam Curry: Well, yes, correct.
That's it because I'm all for
free speech. See, when you for
free speech, then you're Trump.
Don't you understand? The minute
we put a podcast index and wants
to preserve podcasting and free
speech,
John C Dvorak: every bad person,
you're a bad person for
preserving your speech by us?
Yes. By creating the whole
thing. In fact, somebody one of
the day holds on no authority.
The new website said that
anybody who ever uses the term
diver I can tell you it was it's
the guys bitching about to Aaron
nurse and so what it was like
guy says, Hey, anyone who uses
the podcast says podcasting 2.0
should be kicked in the nuts.
Adam Curry: That's a great
little clip or somebody please
clip that for me. That's great.
John C Dvorak: And so I read
that this is not right. Why do
you why is this guy even here?
Why is he here? Why would
someone
Adam Curry: say that? That's so
hurtful.
John C Dvorak: It's very well,
especially we got to kick to the
nuts because that was such heavy
very hurtful. But this is the
kind of thing going on. And I
was like, what what why are you
saying this? What is your
problem? blah blah and
Adam Curry: but this is part of
the URL I'll just say it the
twit network they're also a
mastodon and in the very
beginning you know, we're like
this that was our message you
know, open podcast and its value
of the whole thing is value for
value and runs on donation from
people who want to keep it live.
And that's what there's no money
in it for Adam and Dave Jones
but if we if we died tomorrow,
auto pay would run for three
more years we want to
decentralize it all eventually.
But the people because you know,
we have podcasts index out
social which is our own little
Mastodon server, which I've
blocked no authority does social
we just over here we just want
to do our our little podcasting
stuff development and the twit
people were like very wing net
jazz with your podcasting with
the podcasting 2.0 V freeze,
right
John C Dvorak: wing nut free
Adam Curry: speech. Yeah, that's
how they were and Leo is
susceptible to that. And you
know, and he's he's trying now
Oh, club twit $7 You can give
more if you want. That's not how
it works Leo. It's not how it
works. Go read value four number
four value dot info. Go read
that explains our whole story.
We need to write a book
John C Dvorak: Yeah, yeah, we
have a publishing company we can
use it use it roll it out. We
just feel bad about the fact
that you didn't get the coloring
book because you're going to
rave about it. Well, can we do a
value publishing.com Go check it
out but this coloring book The
no agenda coloring book is
dynamite. Well I saw the PDF no
the PDF does when you get to the
actual book. It is genius so
proud of this book. She
Adam Curry: shouldn't be I know
she worked
John C Dvorak: when you see it
you should be too because this
is like wow this color and it
turns out that the coloring book
is the way to go it's not the
you know the other book which is
fine we sell these for sale yes
there for you. I gave you a
publishing
Adam Curry: stop what kind of
lame ass website is that?
John C Dvorak: How about
fishing.com How
Adam Curry: about no agenda
coloring? book.com Hello?
John C Dvorak: Well, we could do
that too.
Adam Curry: I mean just the same
thing Yeah, well of course but
gate view publishing what is it
gate view but
John C Dvorak: that's the name
of the publishing companies gave
you a website don't
Adam Curry: go to buy JK
Rowling's books at Penguin? I go
to JK rowling.com
John C Dvorak: no agenda show
I'll tell her they will put
something up
Adam Curry: No, I didn't even
know no one even told me it was
ready and for sale where's the
market I deployment
John C Dvorak: marketing been on
the news everybody does she sent
out an email to everybody this
mailing lists you did not
receive an email about these
obviously are a laggard. No, I
just didn't receive it. You
refuse you I can see it now.
unsubscribe?
Adam Curry: I doubt it. No of
you. I want to promote this
ladies and gentlemen.
John C Dvorak: Well wait till
the book comes you didn't get
promoted? When you see it and
actually have it in hand. You're
gonna go wow, this is really
cool. Can
Adam Curry: we do a value for
value coloring book?
John C Dvorak: I guess we can do
something. Because
Adam Curry: we'll never write
it. I mean, let's be honest.
We'll never do
John C Dvorak: the value for
value value for value coloring.
Finally, bills and greenback
one. As for
Adam Curry: artists, I provide
value by making art. Yeah, yeah.
And we envy is for void zero. He
provides value by running the
systems. P is for producer
John C Dvorak: does a great job.
P is
Adam Curry: for producer, but
notch. You
John C Dvorak: mentioned art.
Adam Curry: Let's thank the
artists for episode 1651. We
titled that w w x, which was
World War x. Since everyone
seems to be fighting this war
annex, as part of Elan acts as
part of the lungs government
contract. A lot of people
thought we would we would name
it first law of holes. We did
discuss that. But we found that
too long to look too long for a
title. And we want to thank
Francisco Scaramanga On fire
once again, he can tell his wife
that he won nothing.
John C Dvorak: I guess his wife
complaints him that he works for
free. But he doesn't work for
accolades. He probably gets jobs
because of this.
Adam Curry: And he gets value.
No, he's doing this for the
incredible value that the show
provides. That's the whole
point. Yes. And there's people
who can't even pony up five
bucks a month. Well, this guy's
make an art twice a week. Now he
doesn't get chosen twice a week.
And we must have 30 artists who
are trying to make art twice a
week to provide value and
whether we use it as the Alma
Mater not often we use these two
for the bad signal. Dred Scott
uses pretty much all of them for
the chapters. It's incredibly
appreciated. And this one was a
classic no agenda piece we
talked about we had a clip of
the Lunchables, which you should
never feed your children anyway
probably having too much lead,
whatever that means. And so he
made the Korean divorce tech
company lentils which is rice
beef cracker stackers tastes
great. 33 grams of slurry and
100% upcycled I mean, all of all
that was missing from being the
complete picture anyway had the
all seeing eye on top of the
pink rice beef slurry. He was
only missing has electrolytes,
everything, everything else.
Everything else was in there. I
mean, let me see we looked at we
looked at a couple of things you
liked damn Kenny Ben who also is
really competing hard. You liked
her big DOG
John C Dvorak: HOT DOG juice
cup. Yeah, hot dog juice. Which
is kind of left it kind of funny
details that the wasn't quite
Adam Curry: have everything they
needed. I kind of liked the game
Kenny. Ben wore binoculars. I
know you didn't think it was
that great. Which one was that?
It's the one
John C Dvorak: down below. Yeah,
Adam Curry: I use that for the
phone care
John C Dvorak: for it. I use a
family of three divorce was too
small. Totally. Not
Adam Curry: totally. I'm in
agreement.
John C Dvorak: I use the
departures irregular arrivals.
Lots of freebies for yes. Yeah,
we saw that. And I use the one
next to the clip custodians,
hundreds of missiles for the
next
Adam Curry: newsletter. Yeah,
which is a nice piece actually
does ship pretty
John C Dvorak: pieces, obviously
AI but it's pretty piece. It's
pretty
Adam Curry: busy. Then a couple
other people tried Big Bite hot
dog juice, hot dog water. I
would say that certain net net
came pretty close with his hot
dog water can Yeah, I liked that
a lot. Pretty good. It was
pretty good. I mean, in general,
I mean, we can't create any of
this. So I'm saying pretty good.
But it's great. Every single
piece is is filled with love and
attention. And his energy is
appreciated. It really is. Thank
you so much. You provide
incredible value artists. And we
have people who support us with
the third T of the time, talent
and treasure. These are the
executive producers and the
Associate Executive producers.
And we'd like to so that's $200
above for Associate Executive
Producer ship 300 and above for
an executive producer ship real
credits, wherever credits are
recognized, which includes
imdb.com. So you can register
your credit there if you wish or
other places or just just use it
as something cool the show. And
every month. Not always the same
time. But every month we receive
cash a cash donation with a
typewritten note mailed, mailed
to you. So you know he's not a
Gen Z or because they don't know
how to post a letter from
serratus of Dogpatch and lower
Slobo via and he comes in as
also a number that we believe is
code we have never cracked it we
don't understand it's always
different. It is 1702 which
means it included at least one
$2 bill as he usually does. Yep.
And he has a longer note than
usual, which I shall read
John C Dvorak: last time he had
in a row last time was short.
And then I think the time before
that was the no note. Right was
just
Adam Curry: the the no notes on
the musical scale. Yeah. This is
from Serrana must have Dogpatch
and lowers the bow via thank you
to all old and new producers for
making this such a valuable
resource. Your deconstruction of
us m five M is a pleasure. And
you and you often note it should
help producers deconstruct on
their own, which we sincerely
hope it does. Working with many
cultures he says uh huh. We have
a clue. He works with many
cultures. I admire. I observe
each local outlets imitation of
Western M five M as sincere
flattery and equally effective
deconstruction of different
cultures. M five m can be
insightful, which I think we do
we have lots of other German,
French, Chinese all kinds of
other stuff. Ashton Carter,
Ashton Carter, who's Ashlyn
Carter again, wasn't he the
government guy wasn't either
Secretary of Defense for a hot
minute there. No, Ashton. Ashton
Carter once famously wrote,
quote, the language people speak
in the corridors of power is not
economics or politics. Its
history. That's some deep stuff
right there. each side's history
offers justification used by
Palestinians and Israelis.
Ukrainians are Russians and have
been for centuries from Putin's
published article. He has a
footnote. Oh, he has a foot Note
article by Vladimir Putin on the
historical unity of Russians and
Ukrainians from July 12 2021.
Control control history, as G
suggests, in his January 2013
speech, when he said, to
understand history is to
understand the great road of the
world and to grasp
historiography, historic
historiography is to grasp the
laws of society what is
historiography?
John C Dvorak: I believe it's
the study of history, the study
of the study of history. It's
iterative. And
Adam Curry: to make a nation
perish. The first way is to let
its historical view die. Wow.
There you go. trampling on
national history, deconstructing
national culture, purifying
national self confidence, and
destroying national identity.
For more years, what caused the
American Civil War was the
January 6 a political rally.
While the M five M bludgeons us
with their perspectives, it is
valuable for producers to
remember specific facts can be
the same for protagonists. But
the focus to deconstruct is not
about right or wrong, but
understanding their history,
which they will use to justify
actions and gain power. Could
you translate him we put this in
chat GPT What do you translate
this to say?
John C Dvorak: That there's a
lot of bullshit out
Adam Curry: there you go. But
yeah, and you got to deconstruct
both sides of the BS to
understand where they come in,
which
John C Dvorak: is why we do
pretty much what we do.
Adam Curry: Thank you so much,
Ron must have Dogpatch and Loris
LeBeau. And I love what I do.

Adam Curry: warned you for that

John C Dvorak: I matched with a
girl on Tinder after a weekend
trip to Texas.
Adam Curry: Man. It's a horrible
story.
John C Dvorak: She quickly moved
the conversation to WhatsApp and
did a video call while she was
always in an all white room with
air pods in her ears. We had
daily texts and calls from June
until July. That's a lot of work
for 100
Adam Curry: bucks the long game
John C Dvorak: champion. Find
some better to do lady she ever
she even had constant
conversations with my partner.
We spoke about hobbies but her
favorite thing to do was trade
crypto
Adam Curry: Red Alert, Red
Alert.
John C Dvorak: He was very long
and emotionally manipulative
experience. She wanted me to
start with several $1,000 But I
refused for you. After a month
of daily engagement I agree to
$100 this must have been a huge
disappointment for her you won.
And shortly I have with me the
100 bucks is like the
entertainment value. And shortly
after both the website and the
girl disappear or she had a
website said, oh, yeah,

looks like a real crypto trading
website and then you upload some
money, you know you will you
give them some ad usually say
Oh, and you go get a gift card
and gift cards a dead giveaway?
And yes, and then you use that
and then and then they'll
actually sometimes if you put
enough money, they'll say oh no,
you have like $100 profit. And
so you put in 1000 They'll give
you 100 Back to get you to put
it in another 1000. And it keeps
going. What I'd like to know

four year old boy it could have
been catastrophic. But watch is
a fast acting man seated near
the pair swoops in to block the
puck. That
puck was coming so fast, you
know, especially when I realized
it was actually coming it was
already there, but he doesn't
really realize he almost got
taken out by a hockey puck.
It was all caught on video but
they didn't catch the man's name
