0:20
Adam curry here
0:21
John C Dvorak: from Northern Silicon Valley where we're
0:23

Adam Curry: it wasn't just hobbyists. It was a ham radio
0:35
hobbyist balloon.
0:37
John C Dvorak: Well, that was one of them. Yeah, yes.
0:39
Adam Curry: Just one. You know how I have always joked about
0:45
plastic surgeons who say just a few days of bruising, ma'am. You
0:51
know that. Turns out oral surgeons are very similar, but
0:57
they're all surgeons. Just a sore for a day or two jaunt my
1:03
mouth is is so taut from the swelling is like I'm talking to
1:06
a
1:06
John C Dvorak: blowhole. Paul used to blowhole Joker. Well,
1:11
you
1:11
Adam Curry: didn't say anything. So I wanted to make sure you you
1:13
heard it.
1:15
John C Dvorak: i You sound huge sound 10 by 10 Yeah, five
1:19
Adam Curry: by five. I know. I know. But it hurts by six.
1:23
Square when it hurts when I laugh so let's make it oh yeah,
1:26
let's make it a just kind of a regular old show. Do you mind
1:30
just not too funny.
1:32
John C Dvorak: Very little shows are pretty humorous. I do have
1:35
my book here out a book called Book jokes, puns and riddles.
1:40
No, I David Alan Clark. Hola. Let's not do that. No, this is a
1:44
book that I'm I'm gonna tell you some interesting. 9668. So this
1:51
is hippie humor. And I'm going to tell you I could read
1:54
anything from this book and I guarantee you won't laugh.
1:57
Adam Curry: Oh, that would make sense. Hippie humor is generally
2:00
just not funny.
2:04
John C Dvorak: Question. Okay, when is spanking like a hat?
2:08
Adam Curry: I don't know when his spanking like a hat. John.
2:11
John C Dvorak: When it is felt?
2:14
Adam Curry: Oh, man is this did Marty write this book? Oh, I
2:20
hurt myself.
2:21
John C Dvorak: Your day? I didn't do it. All right. All
2:25
right. Well, maybe you're wise and hammer one liners should be
2:28
dead put a halt. That's what it
2:29
Adam Curry: is. The Munich Security Conference is on. I
2:35
have a clip diver clip too. But since I called it, I'll do the
2:40
overview and then we'll see what you have. I got a couple of
2:43
things here. This is the the annual conference everyone gets
2:46
together in Deutschland. Last year, of course, the Lensky was
2:50
there in his civilian suit, to recommend that everyone get
2:56
ready for the war. And now we're one year further. And here's a
3:00
couple of years an overview of what the leaders had to say
3:02
including hair Zielinski himself.
3:04
Unknown: We Solinsky set the tone comparing Ukraine's fight
3:07
against Russia to David and Goliath.
3:10
He will definitely fall already. This year. We can make it all of
3:15
us together just as David did. We can make sure that there is
3:20
no alternative to our victory.
3:23
Ukraine's President urged Western leaders to act quickly
3:27
we need
3:28
to hurry up we need the speed speed of our agreements speed of
3:32
our delivery to strengthen our slink speed of decisions to
3:38
limit Russian potential was the Linsky pushed for
3:42
speed. German Chancellor Olaf Schultz argued for caution. By
3:47
last, we will continue to maintain the balance between
3:50
providing the best possible support to Ukraine and avoiding
3:54
an unwanted escalation.
3:57
But shorts also challenged Western countries to deliver on
4:01
promised weapons.
4:03
This means that everyone who can supply these battle tanks should
4:06
actually do so now. Emmanuel Macron from Ukraine remains
4:12
firm. No, absolutely
4:15
not, we must absolutely intensify our support for the
4:18
resistance of the Ukrainian people and army for leading the
4:22
counter offensive, which alone will enable credible
4:27
negotiations under the conditions chosen by Ukraine.
4:31
Authorities, its people.
4:34
Adam Curry: So that's the overview sounds pretty boring.
4:36
Although Zielinski is almost.
4:38
John C Dvorak: He's almost my overviews a little better than
4:40
that.
4:41
Adam Curry: Okay. I'm glad I was just going to finish by
4:44
John C Dvorak: this is an actual overview. That doesn't really
4:48
bring in any details like were you just that's more detail this
4:51
is Munich Security Conference clip.
4:53
Unknown: The Munich Security Conference kicks off today in
4:55
Bavaria, Germany. The meeting is an annual gathering of experts
4:59
Senior Policy missions and heads of state for talks on global
5:02
security policy. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and
5:05
French President Emmanuel McCrone have arrived at the
5:08
venue to meet with other European leaders. Their speeches
5:12
will follow opening remarks by Ukrainian president Volodymyr
5:15
Zelensky. Also among the guests, our UK Prime Minister Rishi
5:18
Sunak, European Commission had Ursula von der Leyen and NATO
5:22
Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg representing the US
5:26
is Vice President Kamala Harris.
5:28
Adam Curry: Rah rah Oh, I see why you were so jacked about
5:33
playing your clip, because now
5:36
John C Dvorak: why do they What is she doing there? She
5:39
Adam Curry: was there last year. If you recall, she is the
5:41
represent she is there to say, with the passage of time. And
5:48
Solinsky is almost quoting song lyrics, we can make it we can
5:51
make it looks like we made it I'm telling you this is almost
5:55
over. But not until we shake down the people of the United
5:59
States, the UK, the EU, and back home, we had the representatives
6:04
telling us how they're going to take it from us
6:06
Unknown: and then deliver much needed humanitarian assistance
6:09
as well as food, water, medicine, shelter, and other aid
6:13
to Ukrainians, displaced by Russians war, and provide aid
6:17
for those seeking refuge and other countries from Ukraine is
6:21
also going to help schools and hospitals open. It's going to
6:24
allow pensions and social support to be paid to the
6:27
Ukrainian people. So they have something something in their
6:29
pocket, also going to provide critical resources to address
6:33
food shortages around the globe.
6:35
Adam Curry: No, they need their pensions. We don't need our
6:37
pensions giving them cash. Yes, screw you, America with your
6:42
pensions. We're giving them cash. We're giving them food
6:45
when you're hungry. You're hungry, you should go to
6:47
Ukraine.
6:49
John C Dvorak: So that the homeless situation around here
6:51
that I know they have the best of homeless in DC.
6:54
Adam Curry: Oh, a lot of homeless in DC. It's been bad
6:57
for a long time once you crossed the border of Foggy Bottom.
7:02
Yeah, so here's Mitch McConnell, leader of the Republicans are
7:05
listening to the Ukrainian saying they don't have enough
7:07
and by the way on Fox News with Dana Perino are listening to the
7:11
Unknown: Ukrainian saying they don't have enough ammo. And even
7:13
our defense department is saying we might have to figure out a
7:16
way to get more funding so that we have an ammo for ourselves
7:20
and our allies like grant
7:22
Adam Curry: funding. This is such a scam. We are being stolen
7:26
from right before our very eyes. Oh, we don't have enough
7:29
bullets. Not enough ammo. We need more funding. Wait, but we
7:33
have, we haven't figured out the debt limit yet. Oh, it's gonna
7:36
be so fun.
7:37
Unknown: What is Biden's responsibility and trying to
7:40
make sure that people in America whose support for Ukraine is
7:44
softening? We'll want to continue to try to help them.
7:49
Well, I'm going to try to help explain to the American people
7:52
that just feeding the Russians and Ukraine is the single most
7:57
important event going on in the world right now.
8:00
Adam Curry: I don't care what you think is the single most
8:02
important thing in the entire world. Even if you're hungry,
8:06
even if you're safe. If you have no jingle jangle in your pocket,
8:10
it's all about Ukraine. That's the most important thing.
8:13
Unknown: It will save us an enormous amount of money down
8:15
the road if Ukrainians can succeed. They're not asking for
8:19
any of our personnel.
8:21
Adam Curry: It's an investment people this it'll save us money
8:23
down the road. If the Ukrainians can succeed. It's an it's really
8:27
you should see it as an investment in your children in
8:30
the bank interest in your children's future. It
8:33
Unknown: will save us an enormous amount of money down
8:35
the road if Ukrainians can succeed. They're not asking for
8:39
any of our personnel are asking us for financial help. Europeans
8:44
are stepping up.
8:45
Adam Curry: By the way, financial help. Dana Perino just
8:49
opened by saying, Man, we need money for the military
8:52
industrial complex, we were out of ammo, they're out of ammo.
8:56
And then he says, well, we need money for them. No, no, this
9:00
we're we're being robbed. We're being robbed by the military
9:02
industrial complex, and they're just gonna keep going until
9:05
someone stops it we're not
9:06
Unknown: asking for any of our personnel are asking us for
9:09
financial help
9:10
Adam Curry: us keep saying yeah, they are. What are they asking
9:12
for?
9:13
John C Dvorak: You're asking for our personnel. They'd love to
9:16
have our personnel over there. They have our
9:18
Adam Curry: personnel are some of this money is going to the
9:20
mercenaries that's our personnel,
9:22
John C Dvorak: not only just mercenaries, according to that
9:24
clip that I played last show US Army. Yeah, that guy wasn't a
9:29
mercenary he was talking about
9:33
Adam Curry: No, he was an advisor. Oh, yes. Advisor with a
9:37
gun and advisor cannot be neutral. Here's our ghost. Let
9:41
me show him advise you how to do this. You point over there. Now
9:44
I'm going to pull the trigger. This is just advice. Okay.
9:46
Unknown: Culture makes choices in times like the
9:49
sorry, down the road if Ukrainians can succeed. They're
9:53
not asking for any of our personnel or asking us for
9:56
financial help. The Europeans are stepping up to They've
10:00
gotten an awful lot that seems not to be recognized, for
10:04
example, handling like enormous numbers of refugees.
10:10
Adam Curry: Man, I keep doing it. They were not recognizing
10:12
how good the Europeans are. The Europeans are really actually
10:15
better than us. Because we're just not recognizing how much
10:18
they've done an
10:19
Unknown: awful lot that seems not to be recognized, for
10:23
example, handling enormous numbers of refugees. In terms of
10:27
the cost of a Dinah, it's about point oh, 2% of our gross
10:33
domestic product. Oh, we'll
10:36
Adam Curry: give that to Americans. Because it's just a
10:39
little bit. So was $130 billion is just Oh, point. Oh, 2% of our
10:48
why don't we give another 0.0 point 2% of the GDP to
10:52
Americans. This, I cannot believe that anyone sitting at
10:57
home going? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. We really got to help out
11:01
Ukraine. I just does. It seems like this must be falling on
11:05
deaf ears.
11:07
Unknown: We are also monitoring very carefully that money that's
11:10
being spent. There should be a bipartisan why
11:16
John C Dvorak: I said bullcrap you don't even they can't even
11:19
audit the Pentagon, let alone figure out where that money's
11:22
going to descend it if you remember when this war first
11:24
started, and they started shipping money over there. They
11:27
lost track of it immediately was
11:29
Adam Curry: 400 million 400 million. I don't know, even
11:32
someone pointed out to me the clip you played on the last show
11:35
about running out of ammunition. They actually said the
11:39
ammunition is lost. They didn't say it's it's like missing. It's
11:45
missing in this. It is so obvious that
11:49
Unknown: we are also monitoring very carefully that money was
11:51
being spent. It should be a bipartisan support for this my
11:56
biggest criticism of the President as he seems not to
11:58
have done enough soon enough, more, more rapidly, we might
12:03
have been able to help the Ukrainians have even more
12:07
success than they've already had. But it seems like these
12:10
weapons systems tend to get there. A little too late. on
12:15
every occasion. I'm sorry.
12:18
Adam Curry: Dana Perino representative news model for
12:21
the military industrial complex. Exactly,
12:24
Unknown: because they're a little too late. on every
12:27
occasion, exactly. Public opinion, slotting but I want to
12:32
reassure the American people this is this is enormously
12:35
important. We need to stay together on a bipartisan basis
12:39
in our country, and defend these people who are bravely fighting
12:43
for freedom and for democracy and you're crying.
12:46
Adam Curry: Alright, so this is this is the new narrative. By
12:48
the way. I didn't hear Dana Perino say anything in this
12:52
report, even when she when she asked the question about support
12:56
sliding. So support is sliding. He's aware of it. They're aware,
13:00
but he just brought that in without any prompting. The same
13:04
is happening in Europe. And Queen Ursula gave an interview.
13:08
She had a very stressful interview. It was kind of a
13:11
stand up thing at the Munich Security Conference. I think
13:13
someone stopped her on the buzzer. strahd. That's a
13:17
international speak for a balcony. And then she got a
13:21
whole bunch of mics jammed in her face and she couldn't get
13:23
away from it. And if you look closer at her, she is her. Her
13:30
lizard reptile mouth is starting to show. She has all the little
13:35
creases lines all around her mouth know when she could seem
13:38
easily saw with some injectables just a few days of bruising. But
13:43
now it just looks really makes her look like a reptile. So a
13:46
couple of questions here. And the first one is of course the
13:50
people of the EU who have millions of refugees who have
13:54
come into the EU countries. Poland would be number one I
13:59
would say but they're in the Netherlands they're in in France
14:02
or they're everywhere. And support is sliding people after
14:06
a year of having this go on. People are starting to get weary
14:10
and luckily she has a solution.
14:13
Unknown: Europe has taken in millions of Ukrainian refugees
14:16
and towns have been very supportive. They want to help
14:20
these people but they are saying they are straining under the on
14:25
first flooding of refugees. What can you do to help them because
14:28
they are saying they are reaching limit?
14:31
Christabel? Yes, I want to acknowledge and thank from the
14:34
bottom of my heart. All these people, Europeans who have
14:38
opened their hearts and their homes to the Ukrainian refugees
14:41
is amazing. And I understand that this is straining over
14:45
time. This is why we introduced the Temporary Protection
14:48
Directive, which means basically, direct access for the
14:52
Ukrainians to the labor market, to the schooling system to the
14:55
health system and to Social Security.
14:57
Adam Curry: Oh, okay, so it's gonna get some It's better
15:00
Europe. Now, the EU has decided apparently through this special
15:05
mechanism that the refugees can get access to your children's
15:08
schools, to your, your social services and and your social
15:13
money. Okay, so don't worry about it. Is it going to be
15:16
there for a while, but we're going to take care of it. We're
15:18
paying for them with your money.
15:19
Unknown: What's the Temporary Protection Directive, which
15:21
means basically, direct access for the Ukrainians to the labor
15:25
market, to the schooling system, to the health system and to
15:28
Social Security? Also, to help
15:31
Adam Curry: why wait a minute, Social Security? Wait a minute,
15:36
Biden said we need to give them money for Social Security? Is
15:40
this our money? Bonus? Let me just go back and listen to the
15:44
end of Biden there. Where is he? I mean, we heard that right. Let
15:52
me just check here. Last bit of Biden,
15:56
Unknown: at people so they have something something in their
15:58
pocket. It's also going to provide critical resources to
16:01
address food shortages around pensions and social support to
16:05
be paid to the Ukrainian people. So they have something
16:08
Adam Curry: pensions Okay, now, not the same thing before I
16:10
thought we were paying for it.
16:12
Unknown: Direct access for the Ukrainians, to the labor market,
16:15
to the schooling system, to the health system and to Social
16:18
Security, also to help take the burden off the shoulder of the
16:23
ordinary people who did a great job. So when you see is coming,
16:28
because the Lindsay said at this conference that
16:33
John C Dvorak: she said for the ordinary people who did a great
16:36
job, is that what she said? Yes,
16:38
Adam Curry: they did a great job of flee. Great job. Okay, I hear
16:48
you This is gobbledygook. When you see is coming? Oh, here we
16:52
go. Here comes the piece question. Now we've been paying
16:55
attention to the piece when this piece coming at this conference
16:57
Unknown: that he was thinking that the next Munich Conference,
16:59
that will be a post war conference,
17:02
do you also believe that this war will be over within a year,
17:06
I will not make any predictions, because this is not to put in
17:11
words for me at the moment being important is, as Ukraine is
17:15
fighting for our basic values for the respect for the
17:19
international law, for the UN Charter. And for the fact that
17:23
today, you cannot send tanks across a border and unleashed
17:28
that's an aggression. So Ukraine is really fighting for
17:32
Adam Curry: what do you think that means? We can't send the
17:35
tanks across the board. I'm not quite on anything, because he's
17:37
talking about here.
17:39
John C Dvorak: Tariffs play it again,
17:40
Unknown: basic values for the respect a little bit. Alright,
17:44
for me at the moment being important is, as Ukraine is
17:48
fighting for our basic values for the respect for the
17:52
international law for the UN Charter.
17:55
Adam Curry: Okay, there it is. This is important respect for
17:58
international law, respect for the UN Charter here we got the
18:01
moment
18:01
Unknown: being important is, as Ukraine is fighting for our
18:06
basic values for the respect for the international law, for the
18:10
UN Charter. And for the fact that today, you cannot send
18:14
tanks across a border and unleash such an aggression. So
18:19
Adam Curry: yes, that's what she's referring to Putin sending
18:22
track tanks across gas. Yeah, frame
18:24
Unknown: is really fighting for existential values that we have.
18:28
And therefore full support from our side. Putting imperialistic
18:33
plan must fail
18:34
a little bit more on the timeline. Are you going to be
18:36
proposing this formally Is that what's the next steps in this
18:40
proposal? And one of the problems has been that even
18:43
though there has been money, for example, through NATO, countries
18:47
have not signed contracts. And that has slowed the whole
18:50
process down. How can you ensure that once you have the money on
18:52
the table, this the contracts are signed and production can
18:55
start?
18:56
Adam Curry: Okay, that what she just throws out there, this
18:58
ladies in the know, somehow she works for Deutsche Bella
19:01
production can start, I think this is about more weapons. But
19:06
she's saying there's no contracts to said, you know,
19:10
what's the timeline for, for kicking Putin his ass, because
19:15
the contracts have not been signed.
19:19
Unknown: It is important because of the lack of contracts to give
19:22
a certain amount of certainty to the defense industry. And these
19:27
are the advanced,
19:29
Adam Curry: they want long term contracts. The defense industry
19:31
doesn't just want like just a little thing, not enough, we
19:34
want long term certainty and contracts
19:37
Unknown: of contracts to give a certain amount of certainty to
19:42
the defense industry. And these are the advanced purchase
19:45
agreements that we have good experiences with ya. And for
19:51
that it needs a European approach because it cannot rest
19:54
on the shoulders of one country for example. So this is the
19:57
approach. The second is we have DNS tuition is in place. So we
20:01
should not create something new, that we should use the European
20:04
peace facility, which has an coordination mechanism with
20:08
Ukraine, or
20:09
Adam Curry: the European peace facility, which funds the
20:12
military industrial complex is great,
20:14
Unknown: we have the institutions in place. So we
20:17
should not create something new, that we should use the European
20:20
peace facility, which has an coordination mechanism with
20:23
Ukraine already in place, we can use the so called AKA, which is
20:28
a procurement institution that is knows all the mechanism. So
20:33
for me, the practical be fast. And these are the ingredients
20:37
that we're going to put together.
20:39
Adam Curry: Alright, be practical, be fast, let's get
20:41
the money to the military industrial complex as quickly as
20:43
possible. Now back to the peace process. It looks like they're
20:47
the pieces are coming together. And what I see happening is not
20:55
a not an actual victory. You know, it's all up to Ukraine.
21:00
Not not a victory on the field. But there will be an agreement,
21:04
there will be a negotiations, and that will end the war. And
21:09
we're getting pretty close to mechanism seems to be the IPCC
21:13
the international criminal or the ICC, International Criminal
21:17
Court, special tribunal. But one question you mentioned, Vice
21:21
President Harris's speech is this a change in tone from the
21:24
White House?
21:24
Unknown: This is significant in that the US now does formally
21:27
consider Russia to have committed crimes against
21:30
humanity. But how to actually hold Russia accountable is a
21:33
huge question that countries are grappling with right now.
21:35
Ukraine is calling for a special international tribunal to try
21:39
Vladimir Putin. But that seems a long way off for now.
21:42
Adam Curry: Maybe not, maybe not we go over to CNN on on poor and
21:47
company Christianna on him poor globalist extraordinaire, they
21:51
have on Bill Browder, who, himself is a very interesting
21:56
figure who got basically kicked out of Russia. And if there's
22:03
money to be had, I'm sure he would have an interest in
22:05
hanging around to get some of it, he can probably prove that
22:08
he deserved some of it. So he is telling the on poor CNN and
22:12
company exactly what the mechanism is how it's going to
22:16
work. And why.
22:17
Unknown: Explain to me the mechanics of confidence skating,
22:20
that central bank was,
22:21
Adam Curry: this is Russia. $600 million, add to for starters.
22:25
Well,
22:26
Unknown: so at the moment, those reserve billion I'm sorry, herds
22:28
are protected by something called sovereign immunity.
22:31
Sovereign Immunity means that anything that belongs to a
22:34
country, a state can't be taken away, you can't like just move
22:38
into the embassy because you would like that property,
22:41
because it belongs to that country. And normally, that
22:44
would be a reasonable thing. And that's how international law has
22:47
worked for the last many, many years. Now, Putin has redefined
22:53
international crime, he has redrawn the borders of Europe,
22:57
he's invaded a foreign country he's killed. He's been a mass
23:00
murderer killed the unimaginable numbers of people. And so we're
23:05
sitting there in this situation where he's reading, redefine
23:08
international crime. And we're, we're sitting there saying you
23:13
and your money is still protected. We need to redefine
23:16
international law, to elevate it to the level of his the way he's
23:23
become an international criminal. And what does that
23:25
mean specifically? That means that that laws have to be passed
23:29
in a number of major developed countries, which says that
23:33
sovereign immunity always applies in every single
23:36
circumstance, except in the circumstance, when a country has
23:40
invaded a neighboring country and committed an act of
23:43
aggression, which is how this war is being defined under legal
23:46
terms. So that's the one narrow circumstance where sovereign
23:50
immunity no longer applies. If we do that, if the United States
23:55
and the European Union and Great Britain and Canada and Japan
23:59
rewrote their laws to say that sovereign immunity applies, in
24:03
all circumstances other than those, then we could then
24:06
confiscate their money. We wouldn't be doing any legally
24:09
we'd be doing it based on a law that's been rewritten to adapt
24:13
itself to the current situation.
24:15
Adam Curry: Easy, which,
24:16
John C Dvorak: of course, yes, she brings up the point that one
24:19
of the staples of Western civilization is the avoidance of
24:24
ex post facto laws, right? No, no, no, I
24:28
Adam Curry: don't think that was in there. For some reason, it
24:30
just didn't come up. Now, this is what's so beautiful. Is there
24:34
yet, what you just said is okay, we're going to convict some
24:37
somebody based upon a law we wrote after the utrust Well, I
24:40
guess they could just wait, change the law and then say all
24:43
crimes against humanity because as you know, invading another
24:47
country is a crime against humanity. It's not like, like
24:49
any of our president would fall under that, but Putin would, and
24:53
it looks like we just might have a venue for the negotiation, as
24:57
we have the trial going on in The Hague. In the Netherlands,
25:01
under the joint investigation team, the same team that
25:04
convicted Putin of being behind the Malaysian downing from a
25:11
from a rocket shot off from in Ukraine, but of course that was
25:14
Putin. It looks like there may be a venue for peace
25:18
negotiations, which I think would leave Putin with whatever
25:20
he has with Crimea, the DOM boss, he keeps all that he just,
25:24
you know, just stays on that. On that border. We cover that up
25:29
with a whole you know, with guys with with black and white tunics
25:33
on in the court. And we'll have a big show trial that probably
25:36
have his head on a stick in the, you know, in the docket, so that
25:40
we can looks like we actually have him there. And this is
25:43
where it looks like the peace negotiation may take place.
25:46
Unknown: But the war in Ukraine end sooner than expected. I know
25:50
we have been asking this question for quite some time
25:53
now. But some unexpected developments have forced us to
25:57
ask this question again. developments like these
26:00
Alexander Lukashenko inviting the American President Joe Biden
26:04
to men's waterfall, to end the Ukraine war for the unverse
26:09
Lukashenko is the president of Belarus and one of Vladimir
26:13
Putin's closest allies. In fact, they are best friends of sorts.
26:17
So when a man like this extends an olive branch to the west,
26:21
when he makes offers like these to the US president, one has to
26:25
take them rather seriously
26:26
Adam Curry: that Putin won't even go he'll send somebody else
26:29
they're going to end this after we've signed the long term
26:32
contracts, we need two years worth of ammo and training, etc,
26:36
etc, etc. And I think that signal is now gone out to the
26:39
military industrial complex one more time boys would do a two
26:43
year long term contract and then we're just going to cut it down
26:45
and stop it slowly move it over to China, which is where the the
26:50
new which is where the new focus belongs. And the only problem is
26:56
we have a couple of a whole journalists that's that's the
26:59
that's the the problem we still got to fix. Because our buddy
27:03
Matt Lee AP Diplo writer is back. He's back, given people a
27:07
hard time at the State Department, in this case, Matt
27:11
Lee grilles Rear Admiral Kirby, on who actually is the aggressor
27:17
here. Did Russia get closer to NATO? Or did NATO get closer to
27:22
Russia
27:22
Unknown: say the reason that the Russian army is on NATO? The
27:25
Russian army is at NATO's doorstep as Because NATO has
27:27
expanded rather than the Russians expanding that in other
27:32
words, NATO has moved closer to Russia rather than Russia moving
27:36
closer to NATO. Is that not an accurate way to look at this?
27:40
That's the way President Putin probably looks at it. It's
27:42
certainly not the way that we look at it.
27:44
You don't you don't think that NATO has expanded eastward
27:47
toward Russia.
27:48
NATO has expanded and they expect good thing for
27:51
the reason that the Russian army isn't NATO's doorstep is not the
27:54
fault of the Russian are not the it's not the Russian army that's
27:58
done it. It's NATO has moved closer to move here. It
28:01
wasn't NATO who was ordering, you know, upwards of 15
28:04
battalion tactical groups to within 10 kilometers of the
28:07
border with Ukraine. And I'm pretty sure it wasn't NATO, who
28:09
put little green men inside Ukraine to destabilize
28:12
eastern city sure that Ukraine is not
28:14
Adam Curry: a member of NATO. That was Victoria Nuland, who
28:16
put little green men inside them. Hey, Don,
28:19
Unknown: so unless that's changed,
28:21
it's the movement by Russia,
28:24
NATO. NATO is moved east. The reason that the Russian army is
28:28
closer or on NATO's doorstep is because NATO, NATO is
28:32
not an anti Russia Alliance. NATO is a security
28:37
fit 50 years it was an anti Russia Soviet Alliance. So what
28:41
do you not understand it? It's totally if you don't understand
28:44
how can you not even see how the Russians will perceive it as as
28:48
a threat and the fact that it keeps getting closer to their
28:50
border while their troops? I mean, the places where their
28:54
troops are you say their troops are and made may have been in
28:57
Ukraine and Georgia are not made up?
28:59
I don't have I'm not going to pretend to know what goes in
29:01
President Putin's mind or Russian military commanders. I
29:04
mean, I barely got a history degree at the University of
29:06
South Florida where I can tell you only stopped
29:10
stopped. How about that? How
29:11
about that?
29:12
John C Dvorak: Why would somebody this is like the guy
29:14
says, Look, I'm a D student. So I don't understand this sort of
29:19
thing. Well, then what are you even doing in this position? We
29:21
don't want D is this that you're an equity hire?
29:25
Adam Curry: It seems like it at this point. He's really
29:28
struggling. He's really struggling with this. Well, he's
29:30
John C Dvorak: now he's claiming to be a dummy from South
29:32
Florida. Admiral Rear Admiral
29:36
Adam Curry: retired.
29:37
John C Dvorak: By the way, I got a note from someone saying when
29:40
we did the discussion about Kirby being a woman
29:44
Adam Curry: when you when you brought this up, yes.
29:48
John C Dvorak: Despite I think it was a woman who wrote and
29:49
said I until you started talking about I always thought he wasn't
29:54
or she was a woman. No, yes. i Wow. I I believe you know, the
30:00
void. This happened to me, by the way, with the Laura Ingram,
30:07
when she was on the radio,
30:09
Adam Curry: Oh, you thought Frau Ingraham was her Ingraham. When,
30:13
John C Dvorak: when she's on the radio, I don't know how they
30:15
miked her or what they did or how the equal eacute or I don't
30:18
know what it was, but that was just an accident. I'm driving
30:20
around and actually turned her show on. I thought it was some
30:26
dude.
30:28
Unknown: years it was an anti Russia Soviet Alliance. So what
30:32
do you do not understand how can you not even see how the
30:37
Russians would perceive it as as a threat? Now?
30:39
Adam Curry: That's the question, his answer is even more baffling
30:42
when you think about what the simple question is,
30:44
Unknown: and the fact that it keeps getting closer to their
30:46
border, while their troops. I mean, the places where their
30:50
troops are you say their troops are and they may have been in
30:53
Ukraine and Georgia are not made up.
30:55
I don't have I'm not going to pretend to know what goes in
30:57
President Putin's mind are Russian military commanders. I
31:00
mean, I barely got a history degree at the University of
31:02
South Florida.
31:03
Man, that
31:04
Adam Curry: is so stupid. What I can tell you is that
31:07
Unknown: is that NATO is a defensive alliance, it remains a
31:10
defensive alliance.
31:11
But it has moved east, correct. I mean, that's just expanded.
31:16
Exactly. It's there's no
31:17
reason for anybody to think the expansion is a hostile or
31:20
threatening. And we've been saying that throughout the last
31:22
15
31:23
years now. You're, you're moving closer to Russia, you're blaming
31:27
the Russians for being close to NATO. That's exactly what
31:31
we're blaming the Russians for violating the territorial
31:33
integrity of Ukraine and destabilizing the
31:35
security system. Which is not a NATO. I see other countries feel
31:41
threatened.
31:41
Adam Curry: Yeah, goodbye. Way to go, Matt. only guy left. I
31:48
think
31:49
John C Dvorak: I barely got a history history degree at the
31:52
University of Florida. University of Florida, it was
31:58
South versus South Florida. Whatever the hell that is.
32:02
Adam Curry: one more clip here. Luckily, we know we need to keep
32:04
the German people happy. Now we got to keep them involved
32:09
because, well, you know, they actually have maybe still have
32:12
some capacity to make some weapons. I would say they except
32:16
for Airbus. They pretty much are that what's left of the defense
32:19
industry in the EU. So let's bring as Alinsky and Sean Penn
32:24
into a film festival Shall we cannot
32:26
Unknown: be neutral. Culture makes choices in times like
32:30
fees. The words of Solinsky at the opening gala of this year's
32:34
Berlinale Film Festival.
32:38
Today, Russia wants to build the same wall Ukraine, a wall
32:45
between us, between the US and Europe to separate Ukraine from
32:50
its own choice that is on future.
32:55
Now in its 73rd year, to build an Al's route, a deeply
32:58
political in nature, its foundations laid in the first
33:02
phase of the Cold War. In addition to Ukraine, pro
33:06
democracy protests in Iran will also feature at the festival.
33:11
Guests from the world of show business and politics shared the
33:14
red carpets with Iranian demonstrators. This year 19
33:19
films will be competing for the golden and silverbear awards.
33:24
Outside the main competition, films do to be screened cover
33:27
topics from race and history in the US to gender transition and
33:31
sexual identity.
33:32
Adam Curry: Oh man, I can't believe we missed that Film
33:34
Festival. Sounds like some great, great submissions this
33:38
year. Gender identity,
33:41
John C Dvorak: LGBTQ, there's nothing more entertaining than
33:43
that.
33:45
Adam Curry: One other thing happened at the low business.
33:50
Somehow they still have this, this feeble idea that we can
33:53
reach the people and convince them through celebrities and
33:56
show business. I think that left somewhere mid pandemic
34:00
worldwide. People are not just not interested anymore. But what
34:06
else happened at the Munich Security Conference is the the
34:10
canceled meeting between Abe Lincoln and Louis I think it is
34:15
the Secretary of State for China kind of took place but there
34:20
were some jabs back and forth.
34:21
Unknown: US Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with his
34:24
Chinese counterpart Randy during the global security conference.
34:29
This is the first face to face meeting between the two leaders
34:32
since the US military shut down a suspected Chinese surveillance
34:36
balloon earlier this month. taking to Twitter Blinken said
34:40
that he warned Vandy against violations of its airspace after
34:44
a Chinese spy balloon flew over North America. Lincoln further
34:48
asserted on how it was unacceptable and irresponsible
34:52
for China to send a spy balloon into the American airspace.
34:56
Earlier on Saturday, Vandy took a swipe at Washington a accusing
35:00
him of violating international norms with what Beijing calls
35:04
unbelievable and almost hysterical behavior. Beijing has
35:08
also denied using spy balloons and says that the balloon was
35:12
the weather research.
35:13
Adam Curry: So you want you have to go to W IO n to get this
35:17
information. I don't think we'd hear anywhere in the US media
35:21
that the Chinese Foreign Secretary said, Man, this is
35:24
like you're hysterical, is just hysterical behavior. Stop it you
35:29
woman. That's basically what he said. And added to that it was a
35:32
weather balloon, which we also have an All I heard was oh, the
35:35
Chinese said, sorry. No, it was it. They say they say clearly
35:39
it's a weather balloon. So what is it?
35:45
John C Dvorak: Versus or dig in pieces of it up? Or trying to
35:48
from the bottom of the 40 or 40 feet down? It's not that far.
35:54
We'll find out I think that they've been just been going on
35:57
for a while now. So I think it's been I think the information is
35:59
being suppressed.
36:00
Adam Curry: Yeah, we'll find out, huh? Sure. I
36:03
John C Dvorak: said this information is being suppressed.
36:05
Adam Curry: I got a note from same producer who told me about
36:09
the Why the f 22. did what it did. And by the way, the F 22 is
36:18
the most sophisticated aircraft I mean, this this, this whole F
36:21
22 was almost the way I picked it up as a sales job. Hey, look
36:25
what our plane can do, we can shoot balloons. The PRC balloon
36:31
engagement was at the ragged edge of the F 20. Twos
36:34
operational envelope that means the altitude the higher altitude
36:38
is harder for the airframe to maneuver. Therefore, that
36:42
engagement required one Mach 1.3 The other engagements in order
36:47
to fly because there's almost no almost no air up there, you need
36:52
speed, and otherwise, you're going to fall out of the sky. So
36:55
that's why the Mach 1.3 The other engagements weren't much
36:59
slower speeds since they were at lower altitudes, but still too
37:01
dangerous to use guns for the aforementioned reason, because
37:05
you could actually wind up flying through the debris at
37:09
that speed. A pilot, our sources told me that the F 22 Not being
37:14
able to use guns above 50,000 feet. I'd say look for some
37:19
other references, but pilots were too busy creaming
37:21
themselves over robbed demonstration of air power. See,
37:24
this is what it was it was a sales job. But it appears that
37:29
you just can't use the guns at 50,000 feet because you're going
37:32
too fast and you have to fly fast to stay afloat. Or
37:35
airborne.
37:36
John C Dvorak: Well, well, this these random assertions are one
37:40
thing I can't it's
37:41
Adam Curry: not a random assertion is from someone who.
37:44
Okay. Yes, you contacted who
37:47
John C Dvorak: is the Defense Department
37:49
Adam Curry: where you get the truth. Did you talk to Kirby say
37:52
John C Dvorak: I was gonna get the truth. I also contacted
37:55
Lockheed and the woman to watch to be on vacation over the
38:01
holiday. Yeah, the Defense Department said that information
38:03
is classified?
38:04
Adam Curry: No, of course it's F 22. We can we can It's
38:07
classified.
38:09
John C Dvorak: That plane is 25 years old. How long is it going
38:13
to be? How long is everything going to remain class?
38:15
Adam Curry: The F 22. I thought the F 22 was like the brand new
38:18
hardship machine. Yeah. That's 25 years it
38:22
John C Dvorak: is. Doesn't mean it's new.
38:27
Adam Curry: Are you sure this is a fifth Gen?
38:30
John C Dvorak: Well, the fifth Gen. Yeah, they keep upgrading.
38:32
Yeah, I'm not saying it's the same version they made 25 years
38:35
ago.
38:36
Adam Curry: Okay. All right. So my answer versus yours. I have
38:41
an answer you get It's classified. No, that makes
38:44
sense. Right, I'd have
38:48
John C Dvorak: to assume that there's I don't know why they
38:51
just does this make I told that fact the second guy got a hold
38:54
of me and he said he wanted to try to get me some answers, but
38:59
he couldn't do it.
39:02
Adam Curry: Right on cue we have China also being dicks to our
39:06
neighbors to the north. This was a big story big story in in
39:12
Canada, if people send me links about it the whole time.
39:18
Unknown: It was exactly the result Beijing wanted
39:21
you or sending us back to work, at least
39:23
according to a Globe and Mail report. It said top secret CSIS
39:28
documents detailing Beijing's sophisticated strategy to
39:32
influence the 2021 election. According to the report, China
39:36
targeted specific conservative candidates in hopes of a liberal
39:40
minority government.
39:41
Justin Trudeau knew about this interference.
39:44
The opposition accuses the prime minister of covering it up
39:48
Adam Curry: he is perfectly happy to let a foreign
39:51
authoritarian government interfere in our elections as
39:54
long as they're helping him.
39:56
Unknown: Trudeau said he's never hidden China's attempts to
39:59
interfere You're we have,
40:02
like I said, known for a long time that China and others
40:09
engage in foreign interference in Canada, including during our
40:12
elections.
40:14
Adam Curry: People are upset about this. Rightfully so.
40:23
John C Dvorak: And right, are they why don't they just vote
40:25
this guy out then? No, because
40:27
Adam Curry: there was they can't because the election fraud was
40:31
was manipulated by China. They said it's impossible. When when
40:37
Russia does it to us Trump wins. You know, when when China does
40:39
it to Canadians. Trudeau wins. It's, it's it always works.
40:48
Apparently. Anyway, right on cue China as if they are playing
40:53
along with the script does this
40:55
Unknown: tonight tensions rising after the US National Security
40:58
Council says North Korea launched an intercontinental
41:02
ballistic missile that landed in Japanese waters. This new video
41:07
released earlier today showing what Japanese military officials
41:10
say appears to be a missile falling from the sky. This is an
41:14
outrageous act which escalates application against
41:18
international such a piece of symmetry unacceptable. The
41:23
United States also strongly condemning North Korea, saying
41:27
this launch is a flagrant violation of multiple UN
41:30
Security Council Resolution. Japanese officials say the
41:33
missile was launched from the suburbs of Pyongyang flying for
41:37
nearly 66 minutes and roughly 560 miles before falling into
41:42
the Japanese exclusive economic zone west of the island of
41:45
Hokkaido. So far no reports of ships or aircraft damaged.
41:50
What's extraordinary about this video is that you can see the
41:53
actual flames when it zooms in on the missile body falling.
41:57
That's just that this came awfully close to landing on
42:01
Japanese soil.
42:03
Officials say today's launch is the first ICBM test since back
42:08
in November, when North Korea fired the powerful class on 17
42:12
ICBM.
42:14
Adam Curry: So I think we're probably going to kick this off
42:16
earlier than 2027. I mean, that's also a little bit of
42:22
wishful thinking, because I'd like to retire before 2027 from
42:26
the show.
42:27
John C Dvorak: What do you think's gonna happen in 2027?
42:29
Would
42:29
Adam Curry: you say oh, no, that's what everyone's that's
42:31
what the CIA guy the bill. The bill, William Bill from the
42:37
chiefs of CIA said China will attack in 20 years
42:40
John C Dvorak: because of some something China's wrote or
42:43
something we deciphered. 2027 Submit deal. Yeah. Which is
42:49
doesn't really match with anything else. But no cropping.
42:51
Adam Curry: Because Because this this Ukraine thing has to end
42:54
and it seems like they're positioning the money. We know
42:57
where the money is going to. The money is already there. We just
42:59
have to make it legal. To take it. And then we can start with
43:07
then BlackRock and JP Morgan can start rebuilding. And as the
43:12
Lansky will do a big piece thing. We'll do it in Minsk
43:15
which sounds official. Putin himself won't show up because he
43:20
will be convicted once. Once he's no longer they'll say, wow,
43:22
you know, once he isn't elected president again. Then he will be
43:27
convicted and we'll throw him in the brink so he'd be he'll be
43:30
charged and convicted in absentia, and we'll just keep
43:33
doing news reports about how the next election that's going to be
43:36
the one that's gonna go pick him up and he'll pay. I think they
43:40
can sell this. I think they can sell it. I think Zelinsky is
43:43
he's a great actor. Give him some lines. No problem. I
43:46
John C Dvorak: got a line from Zelinsky this one I went to
43:49
Lenski clip. Oh.
43:51
Adam Curry: Hold on. Here we go.
43:54
Unknown: There is no alternative to speed. Because it is the
43:58
speed that the life depends on
44:03
Adam Curry: the speed
44:05
John C Dvorak: alternatives to spit.
44:10
Adam Curry: There was
44:11
John C Dvorak: was this guy gonna get a voice coach.
44:14
Adam Curry: I think this is actually better than it was. I
44:17
think he's, I think he's doing better. I had one to somewhere
44:20
that someone sent me that I normally would not have played
44:24
except you played that listen to this.
44:26
Unknown: Come in the name of peace.
44:31
Adam Curry: Did you see that one? Come in the name of Chris.
44:34
All right. There you go. He's kind of entertaining. It's
44:43
entertaining me. All right. I'm sweating. Now what you got you
44:48
got to hold it. You got like this whole row of things.
44:52
John C Dvorak: My stuff's all domestic.
44:53
Adam Curry: Now. Well, that's good. I'm tired of this foreign
44:56
stuff.
45:00
John C Dvorak: I do have a couple just to be clear if I do
45:02
have an atom and you do I do, do. I do have a clip that's
45:08
called Adam and NTD hate where I can kind of understand why you
45:12
hate and TD so much. Okay, I'll play
45:15
Unknown: another train derailment more hazardous
45:17
materials. Same company, a Norfolk Southern train carrying
45:21
hazardous materials derailed outside of Detroit, Michigan
45:24
yesterday morning. Six train cars crashed off the tracks in
45:28
Van Buren township just before 9am local time.
45:32
Adam Curry: Now, why would I hate that?
45:34
John C Dvorak: Oh, so you also pronounce it Nora Falk?
45:40
Adam Curry: This is Dee Dee. I tried to Norfolk that didn't, it
45:46
really doesn't bother me. Listen, we just listened to
45:48
Zelinsky say, come with this. So I think norfork is acceptable.
45:53
In this case.
45:54
John C Dvorak: For people out there who want to know is
45:56
pronounced Norfolk Norfolk.
46:00
Adam Curry: Yeah, I probably have the most stories about
46:02
Norfolk.
46:04
John C Dvorak: Let's go to Mike. Yeah. All right. What you got?
46:07
Okay, so there was this train wreck? They can't get off Trump.
46:12
No, it's very hard. And so the thing is, is that listening to
46:17
NPR, I got two series of clips are all from NPR. And NPR has
46:21
become, it's become first once they last, when I fold it became
46:27
partisan became shit this and really went down. And we've
46:30
never seen one. And we never thought we would we would miss
46:33
Gwen Eiffel that much wrestling. We didn't know we did. But you
46:36
could tell us that when when that one important person leaves
46:39
and that everything changes. You know that one person? That was
46:43
the person that was keeping it together when Eiffel? Yes. And
46:46
then Judy came along, and she's just like some sort of a lackey
46:50
for the Democrats. But when she left now, it's worse. Now you're
46:54
talking about PBS or NPR now and what EBS PBS just said, Okay, I
46:57
thought you said I say NPR made a mistake. I get it mixed up
47:00
with the fact that Gwen aifa was never really with NPR. She's
47:04
always PPS. And she's an old pro from the network's Yes, she was.
47:09
It was Judy. But Judy was
47:11
Adam Curry: the problem we had with Gwen IFO. The reason why we
47:14
turned on her, stupidly, was because and I learned a new
47:18
word. This is years and years and years ago, because she wrote
47:21
a hagiography of Barack Obama. Yeah. And that was it was so
47:26
wrong for her stature. But we should have, we should have let
47:30
that slide because now we missed well, then
47:32
John C Dvorak: she became the host of a debate with Obama up
47:35
there. Yeah,
47:37
Adam Curry: that was that was, yeah, she was captured and it
47:39
sucked.
47:40
John C Dvorak: But she was still kept going. And so now we've
47:43
got, I think the group is pretty much turned progressive, and
47:48
gay.
47:52
Adam Curry: And the difference is,
47:54
John C Dvorak: well, it's just makes it worse. They date they,
47:57
they're more blatant. Their coverage is really so slanted. I
48:01
want to play these clips. This is more or less about the
48:04
Georgia coming back from their grand jury. And oh, and Trump
48:09
was you know, mentioned but you know, Trump didn't really do
48:11
anything, but he, he could have,
48:14
Adam Curry: what am I what do you owe the Georgia vote thing?
48:18
What is this about?
48:19
John C Dvorak: Well, there was a, there isn't it was a number
48:22
of factors. But this all gets back down to Trump's claims
48:29
about election fraud. Okay. Now, they use a loaded language,
48:37
these clips are all very short, because I have to stop them
48:39
after the guy says three words. But let's go to the word Trump's
48:45
claims and change it to Trump's false claims. And this has
48:49
bugged me to know and for years now, what is a false claim?
48:57
asking you a false claim. I'm going to say this. I'm going to
49:03
make the claim that you dyed your hair black, somebody told
49:08
me that and so I'm claiming your hair your hair is dyed black,
49:12
right?
49:12
Adam Curry: So you are you are claiming something that doesn't
49:15
mean that you have proof. And I understand what you're saying.
49:19
So a false claim would be if you said I'm dyeing my I dye my hair
49:24
black, but you actually thought it was blonde. That'd be a false
49:28
claim. But that will be inside your head. There is really no
49:30
such thing as a false claim. It's a claim.
49:34
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's what I think it's a claim unless
49:37
you're totally insincere. Right? In other words, if Trump's
49:41
claiming and by the way, this information that these clips
49:43
mostly come out of the Dominion lawsuit against Fox News,
49:48
Adam Curry: ah, yes, this is the big one. Okay, got it. So
49:51
Dominion
49:51
John C Dvorak: sues Fox News. And as we all know, if we know
49:54
anything, that there's a thing called discovery and that's why
49:59
people try it. Avoid suits. Yeah. So Dominion started
50:03
digging and digging and digging, and they got a bunch of
50:05
information that indicated that some people at Fox were
50:10
insincere during this era when that during the election 2020
50:16
election and they were saying one thing to the viewer is a
50:20
public Yes. And they were lying.
50:24
Adam Curry: This is the Fox News takedown that we talked about on
50:27
the last show Tucker Carlson texting with Frau Ingraham and
50:32
talking about Sidney Powell being a nutjob.
50:37
John C Dvorak: Well, here's the report of this. From NPR. I'm
50:44
sorry, I did it. You're gonna have to excuse me for doing
50:47
that. But from PBS. I got NPR on here too. It's all PBS.
50:52
Adam Curry: Oh, okay. You were confusing me? Yes. It's all PBS
50:54
got it. That's why
50:56
John C Dvorak: it's all PBS. I don't have any NPR clips on
50:58
today's show. So this is the way it starts. And here they're
51:01
gonna get into this the suit and they think they've got Fox over
51:05
a barrel. And here we go.
51:07
Unknown: A new point filing shows top executives at Fox News
51:10
and leading network personalities privately
51:12
dismissed former President Donald Trump's false claims of
51:16
voter fraud in the days that followed the 2020 presidential
51:19
election.
51:20
Adam Curry: Yeah, here. I see. I see what you're what you're
51:23
pointing at false claims just just claims you could just say
51:26
claims.
51:27
John C Dvorak: Yeah, it's journalistically, I think, and
51:30
wrongly and everything is wrong.
51:32
Adam Curry: It's like they should have said claim without
51:34
evidence.
51:36
John C Dvorak: That would, that would be even better. But false
51:40
claims is loaded language designed to make you look make
51:44
Trump look like a jerk. But this clip, they start off with just
51:48
the premise. This is the whole premise. Roseanne wants to play
51:51
this short clip play one more time.
51:53
Adam Curry: Oh, number one one more time. Yeah, okay.
51:56
Unknown: A new court filing shows top executives at Fox News
51:59
and leading network personalities privately
52:01
dismissed former President Donald Trump's false claims of
52:05
voter fraud in the days that followed the 2020 presidential
52:08
election,
52:09
Adam Curry: which to me, is I heard all of this all week long
52:13
on MSNBC, CNN, et cetera, was really them trying to take down
52:19
Fox News, the clear winners in any ratings race by any, any
52:23
observation? Yeah, any measure is,
52:26
John C Dvorak: they do mention that in passing, so. Okay, now
52:31
we're gonna that would you just heard the premise. Yep.
52:33
Throughout this report, which go I only have parts of it. The
52:37
whole thing, they never bring out any evidence, and then they
52:39
finally bring out two examples. And both both these examples are
52:42
bad. But let's go to now this is clip number two of the series,
52:46
Unknown: even as they pushed those same lies on television.
52:50
Nice.
52:52
John C Dvorak: So, okay, now all of a sudden, the false claim is,
52:56
as long as the lie
53:01
Adam Curry: I like it. I like it.
53:03
John C Dvorak: So this is where they're headed. This is the kind
53:05
of loaded report we're now getting from news our nice, it's
53:09
slanted as hell and is loaded with it's got loaded language is
53:13
very poorly done. Let's go to Okay, let's go to number three.
53:16
And this one, this is where this this is actually not them
53:19
talking. These are clips that supposedly exemplify this, but
53:24
they don't. They don't exemplify the hypocrisy that they're
53:27
claiming. they exemplify the kind of the narrative that
53:30
they're pushing. And here's a clip from Fox that they played
53:33
tonight. Every American
53:35
Unknown: should be angry, you should be outraged. You should
53:38
be worried you should be concerned. What has happened in
53:41
the election,
53:42
the Dominion software system has been tagged as one allegedly
53:46
capable of flipping votes.
53:49
How for example, did senile hermit Joe Biden get 15 million
53:54
more votes than his former boss, Rockstar, crowd surfer Barack
53:58
Obama.
54:00
Adam Curry: Rockstar crowd surfer.
54:04
John C Dvorak: Now, that last clip, which was Tucker Carlson,
54:09
was from Thursday of last week,
54:11
Adam Curry: yes, but we might as well use it now.
54:15
John C Dvorak: So it's got nothing to do with this case,
54:17
which is about the election two years ago. So why are they
54:22
playing these clips now that they continue to kind of push
54:26
the same narrative which does just I don't know. That doesn't
54:29
prove that Tucker was saying well, I Trump's full of shit. He
54:34
never does that Daniel crew it throughout this entire report.
54:37
Well, they just asserting it.
54:39
Adam Curry: Can I can I make an assertion of my own, which could
54:41
be a false claim? Because you mentioned discovery. And what I
54:46
picked up not a clip but I just picked up some reports. That
54:50
Dominion discovery documents show employees of Dominion
54:54
admitting their products are quote, riddled with critical
54:59
bugs that could due to incorrect results, maybe the Navy that has
55:03
to be shut down a little bit.
55:06
John C Dvorak: By going in the other direction you think it's
55:08
maybe it's just a thought I shouldn't bring that point up in
55:12
this report that's going to clip for
55:13
Unknown: the court filings reveal that behind the scenes,
55:16
many of the network's top stars and executives. derided Trump's
55:20
election lies is quote, mind blowingly nuts and quote totally
55:24
off the rails, even as they criticized colleagues for
55:27
pointing that out on TV. The filing is part of an ongoing
55:31
defamation lawsuit filed against the network by Dominion voting
55:34
systems.
55:37
John C Dvorak: Okay, what name names? I heard that quote who
55:42
you quoting people named Anna, who said these things?
55:46
Adam Curry: Surely they say that somewhere else don't say or the
55:48
lower third Chiron that said has nope, no,
55:50
John C Dvorak: nope, nope. And nope. Let's go to I'm just
55:56
waiting for the names. Where's the names you give me a day
55:59
finally bring some stuff out. But it's got nothing to do with
56:01
what their assertion is. Let's go to clip six.
56:03
Unknown: Joining us now is David Falk.
56:05
Adam Curry: And I'm sorry, this is clip five is not the right
56:06
one. Yes, five. Joining us
56:08
Unknown: now is David Folkenflik. Who covers for NPR.
56:11
David, thanks for joining us. First explain how we learned
56:15
about these text messages how they're part of this nearly $2
56:19
billion defamation lawsuit filed against Fox right. It's a
56:24
blockbuster case that's been filed by Dominion voting
56:27
services systems, an election tech company that is at the core
56:32
of a lot of these fraudulent claims of fraud
56:37
Adam Curry: fraudulently claims
56:38
John C Dvorak: of fraud.
56:41
Adam Curry: So that actually means that it is fraud because
56:43
it's a fraudulent claim of fraud than it was. Then it was not
56:47
fraud, but it was fraud.
56:49
John C Dvorak: I don't know. I tell you this is folk and folk
56:53
whatever this guy's name is. I looked him up I think that's
56:56
German guy has a hard on from Rupert Murdoch, like nobody he
57:00
shouldn't even be allowed to be on TV focus. And I was thinking
57:03
about this because if you look at his all his old works, he's
57:06
just after Murdoch. He hates Murdoch
57:08
Adam Curry: hates him. And who is this guy who what is he is?
57:12
John C Dvorak: He's a he's just a kind of a hack journalist has
57:15
been doing? Not a lot.
57:19
Adam Curry: I'm reading I'm reading the discovery. And I'll
57:21
just I'll Intersperse your report with a few brief things
57:24
Mark Beck strand. This is from the discovery document, Mark
57:27
Beck strand, who probably has sex with Folkenflik but Dominion
57:31
sales manager confirmed that other parties have gotten a hold
57:35
of Dominions equipment illicitly in the past, and identified
57:38
specific instances in Georgia and North Carolina and testified
57:41
that a Dominion machine was hacked in Michigan. This is in
57:44
the discovery so it's not such a wonder that this this is
57:48
happening
57:51
John C Dvorak: to these guys so this is a key while you're there
57:53
you have here is it this is a smokescreen for the real story,
57:56
which probably is cover up Yeah. But meanwhile so this is Falken
58:00
guy I was thinking about this because he just had you can look
58:03
at his old material and because he's you know, it's on the net.
58:07
And it's just hard on for for Murdoch, like there's no
58:10
tomorrow, I have to assume because I've seen this happen
58:13
here and there. And I have examples of it from real life
58:19
situations in the Bay Area with guys who tried to get a job
58:22
someplace got refused or kicked out or said no and they get out
58:27
there on the rampage against the company. And so they're just so
58:31
I think that's what's going on with this guy. So he's useless
58:34
as a as a correspondent in this in this arena. It was proudly
58:38
fraudulent claims of fraud with this beat. Well, let's question
58:43
Adam Curry: Do you think it's possible fraudulent frame cloud
58:45
claims of fraud? Do you think it's possible that really all
58:48
they want is just one thing they just want Tucker Carlson off the
58:52
air?
58:54
John C Dvorak: I think that's a big part. It's
58:55
Adam Curry: gotta be Sean Hannity is is basically he's
58:58
harmless. Frau Ingraham is the same. They go after both of them
59:01
John C Dvorak: I know what their next human products entertained
59:04
next two clips are they go after Tucker and this is the example
59:08
they cite. This is a read of some memo they cite of Tucker.
59:13
Showing that he's a phony. Oh, I don't see it. I want you to
59:17
listen to this and tell me what it what makes you think he's a
59:19
phony. This clip seven clip six. Oh, okay. What did we get to?
59:24
Adam Curry: I'm off Folkenflik one more time. So shortly. Okay,
59:27
John C Dvorak: let's go back with Folkenflik fraudulent
59:30
claims
59:30
Unknown: of fraud that were ventilated on Fox News in the
59:33
immediate aftermath of the November 2020 elections.
59:38
John C Dvorak: Okay, kept adding because their use of the word
59:41
ventilated.
59:43
Adam Curry: Ooh, a kind of like that.
59:46
John C Dvorak: fraudulent claims of fraud that were ventilated. I
59:50
think he meant vented. But I liked the whole sequence
59:53
fraudulent
59:53
Unknown: claims of fraud that were ventilated on Fox News in
59:57
the immediate aftermath.
59:58
Adam Curry: This is what you should try Your wife, you know,
1:00:01
you're just ventilating fraudulent claims of fraud. See
1:00:05
how that works? Yeah, your marriage works out.
1:00:08
John C Dvorak: It did all these clips are just to point out the
1:00:10
bad journalism that you have that you're getting from the
1:00:12
nation's one of the nation's treasures, and use our
1:00:16
treasures. Yeah, it's really out. It's out of control. But
1:00:18
let's go into here's their example about Tucker,
1:00:21
Unknown: a brutal, brutal portrait that we have seen about
1:00:24
the cynicism, the sense of crisis, the fear and the anger
1:00:29
that was generated inside of Fox, in reaction to their
1:00:34
audiences recoiling from the network's own call of Arizona
1:00:38
for Joe Biden on election night, the first of any major network
1:00:41
to do
1:00:41
so. What becomes clear from reading through this filing is
1:00:45
that Fox knowingly peddled election lies for ratings.
1:00:48
There's a text in particular from Tucker Carlson, and he is
1:00:52
suggesting here that a Fox News White House correspondent should
1:00:55
be fired. For fact checking a Trump claim about the election.
1:01:00
He says, Please get her fired. I'm actually shocked. It needs
1:01:03
to be stopped immediately. Like tonight, it's measurably hurting
1:01:07
the company, the stock price is down. Not a joke.
1:01:11
Adam Curry: Not a joke. He's using Biden stuff now.
1:01:15
John C Dvorak: So it shows there was some woman on the staff that
1:01:18
was doing the kip tech, typical Washington Post style fact
1:01:23
checking, oh, he said six and it was actually seven fact check.
1:01:29
So she was this she was doing this and some Tucker said she
1:01:35
did not a good look. But no,
1:01:38
Adam Curry: that's very bad. Look what he does.
1:01:40
John C Dvorak: But what's it got to do with the original premise
1:01:44
that taught did nothing claim that Tucker was saying that the
1:01:49
election was fraudulent. But behind everyone's back, he was
1:01:53
saying no, Trump's nuts, it's not fraudulent at all. How does
1:01:57
that example prove that point?
1:01:59
Adam Curry: It doesn't at all. The only the only one I heard is
1:02:03
probably the next clip that you have. That's the only that's the
1:02:06
only text message that could get this
1:02:09
John C Dvorak: next was an extra day. I think they they actually
1:02:11
Oh, no, this another text message. This is about a Hannity
1:02:14
now. Oh, I
1:02:15
Adam Curry: thought this was Powell.
1:02:16
John C Dvorak: It's about Hannity and Powell. No. Okay.
1:02:20
And this is another did another one of their examples. And
1:02:24
again, I'm not seeing it play this and you tell me how you're
1:02:28
interpreting this because Trump's not even in the
1:02:30
conversation.
1:02:31
Unknown: As Sean Hannity, even as he was giving her airtime. He
1:02:35
later said in a deposition, quote, the whole narrative that
1:02:38
Sidney Powell was pushing, I did not believe it for one second.
1:02:45
John C Dvorak: Oh, no. I listened to Sidney Powell. I
1:02:49
didn't believe anything she said either. I also didn't believe
1:02:51
Steve BitFenix. nonsense about the military taken over anybody
1:02:58
else. I thought I thought the election was sketchy for other
1:03:02
reasons. Like you know, people not getting to go check on
1:03:06
things Debellis disappearing, ballot harvesting and things
1:03:09
like that. You. So what they're trying to imply here is that you
1:03:13
have to be all in on everything. So if you question Sidney
1:03:16
Powell, you're a hypocrite.
1:03:19
Adam Curry: Yes, that's what they did with Tucker Tucker had
1:03:23
a text back in exchange with Frawley Ingraham from Ingraham
1:03:27
says Powell was full of shit. And then Tucker says, yeah,
1:03:31
she's totally full of shit. And what was it? And we need to not
1:03:37
be putting her on the air because people are people, our
1:03:41
viewers, believe us. I mean, it seems like Tucker is really he's
1:03:46
very concerned for the for the for the organization. Now that
1:03:49
we have that talking about the stock price being down. That's
1:03:54
kind of that is actually more telling about Tucker than I
1:03:58
didn't expect that he would be so concerned about the company.
1:04:02
Folkenflik is the author of Murdoch's world, the last of the
1:04:05
old media empires. So he wrote the book, he wrote the
1:04:11
John C Dvorak: he's just so he's no good that this whole report
1:04:14
was bad. So the show the news, our show keeps going on and they
1:04:17
bring on late in the show. Brooks and Capehart Oh, no. Oh,
1:04:24
no. Two guys again, you know. So they bring them on and they
1:04:29
breathe, visit the topic.
1:04:31
Unknown: It's time for the analysis of Brooks and Capehart.
1:04:34
That's New York Times columnist David Brooks and Jonathan
1:04:37
Capehart, associate editor for The Washington Post with a
1:04:41
welcome to you both. Let's start with this revelation late last
1:04:44
night in this court filing and dominion voting systems lawsuit
1:04:47
against Fox News is that showing that Fox executives and hosts
1:04:52
didn't believe the election lies that they were peddling on
1:04:55
television. David, what do you make of this notion that Fox
1:04:59
determined Is that telling the truth and being straight with
1:05:02
its vote with its viewers was not good for its bottom line?
1:05:06
Yeah, I don't know whether to feel relieved or not that Tucker
1:05:08
didn't really believe what he's saying. Like, he maybe has some
1:05:11
core and that's actually honest.
1:05:15
Adam Curry: What? Donors, yeah,
1:05:19
Unknown: that's a watch.
1:05:22
John C Dvorak: He goes on takes then picks up the cudgel and
1:05:25
goes on with this thing that Tucker was insincere about the
1:05:29
company know about the election fraud.
1:05:33
Unknown: You know, all of us. I mean, here in sainted PBS, we're
1:05:36
gonna go after prophets. But at the New York Times, and most
1:05:38
other news organizations, we have two missions, we want to
1:05:42
sell the truth, we want to live up to the ethics of our
1:05:44
profession. We also want to attract readers and serve our
1:05:47
viewers and make money for our company. And you know, dealing
1:05:51
with that tension is not unique doctors, do it, lawyers do it.
1:05:54
And but until you find the balance, and you try to hew to
1:05:58
the code of your profession, and do it the best you can and hope
1:06:02
that readers will will appreciate that at Fox, that's
1:06:04
apparently not how it works.
1:06:09
John C Dvorak: Can you believe these guys?
1:06:12
Adam Curry: I love it. I want to have a drink with them. This is
1:06:15
great.
1:06:16
John C Dvorak: And by the way, well, let's play the last one, I
1:06:18
have a good comment about their great ethics over there.
1:06:23
Unknown: And that the ethos of following the code of honesty or
1:06:26
reporting, telling the truth, which is our only job, our only
1:06:30
job is just to tell the truth, and not be partisan. That's our
1:06:33
job. And if you can't do the basics of the job, then pretty
1:06:40
soon you you lose all Barrett Warren more moral bearing. And I
1:06:43
think not everybody that agency, a lot of people really left but
1:06:47
a lot of people who used to be friends of mine. They lost all
1:06:51
their moral bearing and shows.
1:06:53
Adam Curry: And yeah, that sounds like your friends. The
1:06:56
Lib Jos lib Jos Yeah, that's exactly what you would say,
1:06:59
Unknown: but a lot of people who used to be friends of mine, they
1:07:02
lost all plans, crying and shows.
1:07:05
And Jonathan this, in many ways, reaffirms what critics of Fox
1:07:09
News have believed all along that even though it has news in
1:07:12
the title, that that is a thin veneer at best.
1:07:17
Yeah, very thin. It's more like carpaccio, if you want to give a
1:07:20
culinary analogy. Look, look what this Dominion paper the
1:07:27
filing shows is that the big the big lie is indeed a big lie. And
1:07:32
that the people who were perpetuating it knew it was a
1:07:35
lie. And yet they still went on air night after night after
1:07:40
night, perpetuating it to the detriment of our country. And
1:07:46
yeah, they they lost their balance. They lost their moral
1:07:50
core if any of them had any
1:07:53
John C Dvorak: law. If any of them had any. There are a bunch
1:07:56
of creeps. This is the most dishonest reporting you could
1:08:00
possibly have bigoted bias name calling. And meanwhile, we'll be
1:08:06
going on and on about this when they're so great. Today even
1:08:10
discussed during the K part and Brooke segment, the fact that
1:08:13
the Cavanaugh accusers, two of them so far have reneged on
1:08:19
their accusations about rape and all the rest of it. I don't
1:08:23
recall that. No, of course not. Nobody's covering it. But the
1:08:28
Kavanaugh accusers are now being referred to the Justice
1:08:31
Department by Grassley for perjury this is a this is a
1:08:38
repressed story. Look it up. Google it.
1:08:42
Adam Curry: Oh, I Neva stuff.
1:08:46
John C Dvorak: So so this, I've just found it. The worst kind of
1:08:50
reporting biased and bigoted, dishonest, and that's what PBS
1:08:55
has become fraudulent claims against fraud.
1:09:01
Adam Curry: Yeah. Are you surprised, disappointed?
1:09:06
John C Dvorak: No, I just like to get worked up. Well,
1:09:08
Adam Curry: that's successful. Here's the actual text that I
1:09:10
was referring to. Tucker Carlson tech, Sidney Powell was lying by
1:09:14
the way I caught her. It's insane. Laura Ingraham. Sidney
1:09:17
is a complete nut. No one will work with her Ditto with Rudy
1:09:21
and Tucker. It's unbelievably offensive to me. Our viewers are
1:09:24
good people and they believe it. What a horrible thing to say as
1:09:27
a television journalist. Horrible, horrible to protect
1:09:32
the good people who are the viewers. Tucker's a real
1:09:34
company, ma'am. That is that surprises me. He must. I mean, I
1:09:40
wonder if a lot of his compensation is based on options
1:09:43
now. And now I have to think about that.
1:09:47
John C Dvorak: You know, that could be that'd be a good way to
1:09:49
pay him.
1:09:51
Adam Curry: You can read the 183 pages of the of the filing.
1:09:57
There's a lot of you remember a Coomer Eric Cooma, Director of
1:10:01
Product Strategy, but just a couple weeks before the
1:10:04
election, he acknowledged that quote, our shit is just riddled
1:10:08
with bugs. Our products suck, that almost all dominions
1:10:13
technological failings were due to our complete effed up effing
1:10:17
up the installation. He identified critical bug leading
1:10:21
to incorrect results. I mean, this is the it's the cover up
1:10:25
this is exactly the way and I guess he wanted to bring some
1:10:28
clips now of how all media except maybe a talker or some
1:10:36
some Fox reporting, but basically they're all they all
1:10:38
suck up the Twitter files. You know, the all you hear on on and
1:10:44
you should probably look to PBS and NPR as well. Oh, it's just a
1:10:48
conspiracy theories is saying the FBI was running Twitter.
1:10:52
That's crazy talk. And they just play a couple of clips of
1:10:55
talker. You know, they don't actually show you any of the
1:10:58
documents that are coming out. And though this is this, the
1:11:04
problem is, it's not even the media anymore. It's the medium.
1:11:11
I think podcasting is the only place you place you can get it.
1:11:14
Get it do
1:11:15
John C Dvorak: that. That was good. That was funny. Sorry.
1:11:21
We're gonna bitch and moan about people. I do have a couple more
1:11:23
clips. I'm glad you do. Don Lemon.
1:11:27
Adam Curry: I have thoughts about Don Lemon. Yeah, can I
1:11:31
just give you my thoughts off the bat. And then you got your I
1:11:34
have no clips. But I think Don Lemon is a genius. Don Lemon has
1:11:40
taken this. He's not he knows that he has a job to do. He
1:11:44
knows that he failed in his primetime slot, more or less
1:11:47
primetime. He knows that he's on his last leg. And I know that
1:11:51
you're thinking, according to the newsletter, is that, you
1:11:55
know, this is brilliant that the new boss of CNN is trying to get
1:11:58
him out. I think Don Lemon has grabbed this and said, You know
1:12:02
what, I'm gonna get everybody watching because that's the
1:12:05
result of this was everything he says more people are going to
1:12:09
watch. This is how you run a cable news show. You need to
1:12:14
have controversy. So people show up. And I think he's doing the
1:12:18
right thing here.
1:12:19
John C Dvorak: Well, you know, that would make a lot of sense
1:12:21
if he showed up after the fact. And he just went on vacation. So
1:12:24
he's not going to be there. But so that kind of blows that
1:12:27
theory. bonus clips.
1:12:30
Adam Curry: Oh, I'm sorry. You didn't alert me to any bonus.
1:12:32
John C Dvorak: I forgot to alert you earlier. You should always
1:12:35
have them so I never do that.
1:12:36
Adam Curry: Oh, this clip activity. Oh, no. You all you
1:12:39
always say you get the bonus clips.
1:12:41
John C Dvorak: I know. I always say it and you always say yep, I
1:12:43
got him. What do you think?
1:12:46
Adam Curry: That's right. I decided to
1:12:48
John C Dvorak: call Google double fail. Were you the one
1:12:50
time I don't ask is the one time you don't do it makes me wonder
1:12:55
if I ever do it.
1:12:56
Adam Curry: No, but what's really cool is that you and I
1:12:59
know how this works. So you gave me enough time there to rack
1:13:03
them up and I'm good to go. All you need to do is just tell me
1:13:05
which bonus clip you want because I haven't right here.
1:13:08
John C Dvorak: So I have two Don Lemon clips. One of them is
1:13:12
what's what are they netlabel because I don't have in front of
1:13:14
me
1:13:15
Adam Curry: Beadon I got beat on beat on a beat on lemon blonde
1:13:19
air. B Meyer on CNN B mooch como be mooch opener.
1:13:24
John C Dvorak: Okay, be Don Lemon, whatever it was
1:13:27
Unknown: this all the talk about age makes me uncomfortable.
1:13:30
John C Dvorak: Okay, great. Let's stop. I do have to set it
1:13:34
up. You do. So on the morning show they This came after Nikki
1:13:39
Haley. Yes jokingly said de I don't understand why they don't
1:13:43
give everybody a cognitive test. After these, you know, he took
1:13:50
his physical and he passed it and flying colors but he never
1:13:53
took a cognitive test even though finally the same
1:13:56
Democrats are the ones moaning and groaning about Trump getting
1:13:58
one he did get one. But Biden hasn't gotten Hey, you are
1:14:01
Adam Curry: like listening to Twitter. This is great. All
1:14:03
right. Yes. Oh gee. Oh, you should try Tim Poole. This is
1:14:07
exactly
1:14:07
John C Dvorak: this is exactly what we finished this are now
1:14:10
you can just gonna go
1:14:10
Adam Curry: I want to. I want to antagonize you to get more out
1:14:13
of you. This is great.
1:14:14
John C Dvorak: So so she brought this up and so this rubbed Don
1:14:18
Lemon the wrong way because Don lemons a Democrat, he's pushing
1:14:22
me in over Biden to get reelected and he didn't think
1:14:26
this was much of this of this idea, you know, and then it
1:14:30
didn't call out Nikki Haley and hilarity ensued.
1:14:34
Unknown: This whole talk about age makes me uncomfortable. I
1:14:37
think that I think it's the wrong road to go down she says
1:14:40
people you know politicians or something and not in their prime
1:14:42
Nikki Haley is in her prime sorry, when a woman is
1:14:45
considered to be in her prime in her 20s and 30s. And maybe 40s.
1:14:50
That's not according to me for what it depends on it's just
1:14:53
like prime if you look it up, it'll if you look, if you Google
1:14:56
when there's a woman in her prime, it'll say 20s 30s and
1:14:59
40s. I don't know That's how I got it. I agree with that. So I
1:15:03
think she has to be careful about saying that we, you know,
1:15:06
politicians are under their primary qualifier
1:15:08
you're trying for like child rearing.
1:15:13
facts or Google at everybody at home. When there's a woman in
1:15:16
her prime, it says 20s 30s and 40s. And I'm just saying Nikki
1:15:19
Haley should be careful about saying that politicians are not
1:15:22
in their prime. And when they need to be in their prime when
1:15:24
they serve, because she wouldn't be in a prime according to
1:15:28
Google, or whatever it is.
1:15:30
Adam Curry: I'm just going to counter you. I think you should
1:15:33
be a little more pragmatic about this. It's not because of the
1:15:36
Democrats because he's gay. He hates women. He's surrounded by
1:15:40
beautiful women. He's the kind of gay guy that hates women.
1:15:43
John C Dvorak: I agree with that. I could have brought that
1:15:45
up. I didn't, because a lot of gay guys are still a big Biden
1:15:48
man. And yes, he hates women. And there are gay a lot of gay
1:15:52
men who hate women. There's a lot of gay women who hate men.
1:15:55
Yes. And so that's why I thought it was genius to put him in that
1:15:59
show genius to carping women who would just go after anything he
1:16:05
says, because I don't think they like gay men. No,
1:16:09
Adam Curry: and this is what I am in agreement with you I think
1:16:12
they're doing their job but somehow it's looking at the
1:16:15
ratings it really isn't catching on but it should the formula of
1:16:19
gay guy hates women to women who hate gays, gay guys, I agree
1:16:24
winning formula, but somehow they're not able to execute. So
1:16:27
that just comes down to seeing and management Don lemons doing
1:16:30
his job as far as I'm concerned.
1:16:35
John C Dvorak: By being a dick, yeah, he took off now he's in
1:16:38
Miami, so he's not coming back. And
1:16:40
Adam Curry: he's in a red state. Are you kidding me? He went to
1:16:42
Miami.
1:16:43
John C Dvorak: Well, he's in some where,
1:16:45
Adam Curry: where you can't say gay.
1:16:49
John C Dvorak: That's where he went. So all I can say, Oh, see,
1:16:51
he's
1:16:51
Adam Curry: a hypnotist. So.
1:16:53
John C Dvorak: So anyway, but then the joke of it. I'm not
1:16:56
good. This is not a great clip. But this is a clip from the
1:16:58
marsh show. We're one of the women on their on his. This is
1:17:02
the show that played on CNN. Mar immediately.
1:17:05
Adam Curry: This is the Drew 90,000 viewers. Yeah. We
1:17:10
literally have 10 times that amount listening to this blather
1:17:13
we're doing right now. That's the best
1:17:15
John C Dvorak: Mark goes on. He gets his gig gets money. He's
1:17:18
getting more money for this 90,000 viewers and we are for
1:17:21
our nine I hope you didn't take stock. So he goes on CNN and
1:17:27
this is the after show that he used to give away for free on
1:17:30
the online now it's on CNN. After is It is Friday show he
1:17:35
does his Friday show they do an after show. And you can watch
1:17:37
that if you want and nobody did. So CNN looking for material
1:17:41
said, Hey, Bill, give us that show. And we'll you know, we'll
1:17:44
just put it on the air. And here's some money. Sorry. And
1:17:49
anyway, so he puts this on here. And so he's got has to have
1:17:53
mixed feelings about the woman that's on there kind of
1:17:57
convention about CNN itself.
1:17:59
Adam Curry: Nikki Haley has called for politicians over 75
1:18:03
years old Z Oh, yes. To be required to take a mental health
1:18:07
competency test. I wonder who that's aimed at? Both of them,
1:18:15
right.
1:18:15
Unknown: I think it's both I think she's trolling it allows
1:18:17
her to draw attention to Biden, she's in Republican primary, but
1:18:21
it's a subtle hit on Trump. They're both older politicians,
1:18:24
they have every right to run people. The competency test is a
1:18:27
really long campaign. And people will assess how they seem. But
1:18:31
shouldn't we do that for everybody? Why just over 75?
1:18:34
Because, I mean, my house of representatives, there's only
1:18:46
one age requirement, the Constitution has a minimum age.
1:18:48
And that was because they were so worried about people passing
1:18:51
things on to their famous sons at the time. There's no maximum
1:18:55
age, but we have that for pilots and other things. But again, I
1:18:58
think it's hard if you've covered these things, you know
1:19:00
how it is, it's hard to run for president and we're gonna see
1:19:03
how they do and then you're gonna decide at the debates and
1:19:05
other forums whether they seem like they got it?
1:19:07
Well, as Don Lemon told us on CNN, women actually can't run
1:19:11
for president because he's never past our prime once we get to
1:19:14
our 40s. But since you have to be 35 to run it's like this
1:19:17
really tight window between 35 and 40.
1:19:24
Adam Curry: Now tell me the show doesn't have music under it.
1:19:27
John C Dvorak: I'm hoping it doesn't. I picked it off of
1:19:30
somebody who clipped it.
1:19:30
Adam Curry: And yes,
1:19:31
John C Dvorak: I was sorry,
1:19:32
Adam Curry: did I refuse to play that if there's music under it?
1:19:35
Well,
1:19:35
John C Dvorak: I couldn't find not going to go to CNN and dig
1:19:37
through the archives to find it. So I took the clip, I say rip
1:19:41
the clip off. So
1:19:42
Adam Curry: there's there's there's something that goes
1:19:43
along with this particular story about Cognizant cognition of our
1:19:49
politicians. And of course, you know, we ha It's Haley. Hi, it's
1:19:53
orange MAN bad. But here's the real story.
1:19:56
Unknown: Also at Walter Reed today, President Biden who was
1:19:58
there for his annual checkup, a matter of high interest as the
1:20:02
president who is now 80 years old is expected to run again.
1:20:05
ABC is definitely Ramos at the White House for us and
1:20:08
Stephanie, what are we learning from the President's Doctor
1:20:10
tonight?
1:20:11
Well, with that five page detailed health report released
1:20:14
right before our show, overall, President Biden getting a clean
1:20:18
bill of health today he spent three hours at Walter Reed
1:20:21
undergoing many tests. In that health report, the President's
1:20:24
doctor says Biden continues to be treated for for different
1:20:27
conditions, a type of irregular heart rhythm, higher
1:20:30
concentrations of fats or lipids in the blood, also known as high
1:20:34
cholesterol, gastro esophageal reflux and seasonal allergies.
1:20:38
The summary says Biden did not experience any long COVID
1:20:41
Following his bout with the virus in July of 2022. His
1:20:45
doctor also says that Biden is fit to successfully execute the
1:20:49
duties of the presidency,
1:20:51
Adam Curry: where's the brain analysis?
1:20:54
John C Dvorak: Well, they also left something out that everyone
1:20:56
else kind of brought up which he has an awkward gait. Yeah. And
1:21:02
the doctor brought it up. And I was thinking about this because
1:21:04
this goes back to the our show's been on for a long time. Yeah.
1:21:07
And we used to do a segment about Biden called and we have a
1:21:12
jingle for it. Called drunk or not drunk.
1:21:16
Adam Curry: I don't think that's true. Did that start with Biden?
1:21:19
Yes. I don't didn't really. Where's the jingle? Oh, here it
1:21:24
is. Yes, we do I just showed. Was that about Biden?
1:21:32
John C Dvorak: I'm pretty sure it was about but I'm not pretty
1:21:34
sure I'm convinced it's about Biden, because we had a lot of
1:21:37
Biden clips because he was always slurring and could be his
1:21:40
energy was off and we'd play a clip of Biden and then it would
1:21:43
be drunk or not drunk. And but we haven't
1:21:47
Adam Curry: for Nadler for Kamala, we do have him for Oh,
1:21:50
George Bush.
1:21:52
John C Dvorak: Yeah, Bush is always tiny drunk, too. But
1:21:55
there was a lot of Biden clips and Biden goes way back with
1:21:58
having this kind of high, you know, energy and then having
1:22:02
this drunk sound. I think he was an alcoholic. And I think that's
1:22:06
where that gate comes from. Because I that gate, I have seen
1:22:10
that gate. A number of times from out and out drunks that
1:22:15
lived in the neighborhoods they've been in. I think he's
1:22:18
just
1:22:18
Adam Curry: old and senile. I mean, why throw it on the drunk
1:22:21
thing? He's just old.
1:22:22
John C Dvorak: Saying you get it. Get a gate like that. You
1:22:25
now okay. He is now old and seen while I'm on the domestic beat
1:22:30
condemning things. Yes. Yeah. So he just Anthony Scaramucci has a
1:22:36
podcast now.
1:22:37
Adam Curry: Yeah. Really. You're really digging at the bottom of
1:22:42
the barrel when you're going to the to Anthony Scaramucci, his
1:22:44
podcast.
1:22:45
John C Dvorak: And I think I may have had some influence on it
1:22:47
because he did one of his first podcast technically with me
1:22:51
Adam Curry: while he's also friends with with Horowitz
1:22:55
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Oh, they are? Yeah. Yes, they are friends
1:22:57
because of the investment angle, but he's also super good
1:23:02
friends. Super good, super
1:23:03
Adam Curry: good. Friends, Trump with
1:23:05
John C Dvorak: Cuomo with Cuomo. He's on his podcast. And this is
1:23:10
because I wanted to get this clip since we're bashing Don
1:23:13
Lemon and Cuomo saying that when he got fired from CNN, he wanted
1:23:17
to kill everyone and then kill himself.
1:23:21
Unknown: Good time is going to go away. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
1:23:24
Adam Curry: You're giving me cues?
1:23:26
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I'm sorry. But so the thing is, I got two
1:23:31
clips here. First, I've got the opening clip of his show, which
1:23:35
got an undo Columbo. I just want to point out to it's out of
1:23:40
phase. Now, not everybody knows what that means. But you do
1:23:47
Adam Curry: I do. Yes. It sounds like you're talking through your
1:23:50
butthole
1:23:51
John C Dvorak: is out of phase and you get that you can get out
1:23:54
of phase using stereo mics. There's a lot of different ways
1:23:57
you can achieve the sound. But it's not wanted. It's not the
1:24:02
idea. It's not the idea. And his so his he and the thing is is
1:24:08
local he's out of phase, and his does guests not aren't
1:24:12
necessarily which makes it even more rinky dink madness, but I
1:24:16
want to play the beginning of him so you can hear what I'm
1:24:19
talking about with an out of phase situation where the
1:24:23
recording
1:24:25
Adam Curry: music is good.
1:24:26
Unknown: I am Anthony Scaramucci, and welcome Oh, good
1:24:29
book where I talk with some of the most interesting and
1:24:32
brilliant minds in our world today. In this show, I'll bring
1:24:36
on guests in business, politics, entertainment and more to go
1:24:40
deep into a piece of their work. Whether it's a highly
1:24:43
anticipated book, an in depth feature story or an opinion
1:24:46
piece that has captured my attention. We'll dig into why it
1:24:49
matters to you and how their work is shaping our future.
1:24:53
Adam Curry: Now how about little detail on your investment with
1:24:57
FTX their motion Yeah, that was that was a really
1:25:01
John C Dvorak: they also he also pops his PS what kind
1:25:05
Adam Curry: of what kind of mic does it maybe the mic maybe
1:25:08
using a weird mic that he's
1:25:10
John C Dvorak: mic so using contribute to
1:25:13
Adam Curry: people have like these you get these USB mics
1:25:16
that people run through a mixer that could be
1:25:19
John C Dvorak: yeah what there's a lot of possibilities whatever
1:25:21
the case is he hasn't got a pop filter and he's popping his
1:25:26
piece and is and he's and he's awkward. He doesn't feel
1:25:29
comfortable. You can tell he doesn't like doing this. I don't
1:25:31
know why he's doing it. But he did have Cuomo on and Cuomo
1:25:34
here. And it's not as spectacular as I'd hoped. But
1:25:37
Cuomo does say he was wanted to shoot everybody as CNN and then
1:25:42
kill himself after he got fired. And by the way, if people want
1:25:47
to hear a self absorbed person of being interviewed, go find
1:25:51
his Scaramucci podcasting and listen to Cuomo just talks about
1:25:58
himself excessively and he's like he's just he's just really
1:26:03
must be insufferable in person. But this is the part I it's not
1:26:07
as great as I'd hoped. But he did. I'm thinking now he's
1:26:10
working for this other operation news, reality or news? Whatever
1:26:14
Adam Curry: newsletter news newsletter news, and
1:26:18
John C Dvorak: I would say I would be really skeptical about
1:26:20
being a producer for him if this is what he thinks, but here it
1:26:23
is for people who want to know
1:26:25
Adam Curry: as producers were child Fiddler's
1:26:29
John C Dvorak: is that. Okay?
1:26:31
Unknown: Good. Time is going to go away the bad time is also
1:26:34
going to go away. I'm is immutable. No question.
1:26:37
Adam Curry: Totally crap. Everything's out of phase this.
1:26:40
This whole thing is out of phase,
1:26:41
Unknown: right? But it's very subjective. Just because a long
1:26:44
time goes away, doesn't mean you gotta be doing the right things.
1:26:49
You got to make things happen. There is no luck. There is no
1:26:51
fate, there is no destiny. What happens is what you make happen
1:26:55
and how you deal with what is made to happen to you, for
1:26:57
better and worse. And, you know, I make a lot of mistakes.
1:27:02
Sometimes for good reasons, sometimes for bad reason. I'm
1:27:05
very flawed, there's damage, there's damage that's relatable
1:27:09
to people, there's damage that's unrelatable to people that I
1:27:12
have to deal with that I tried to deal with that I do the work
1:27:15
on, I still fail. And I have learned to accept that I had to
1:27:20
accept because I was going to kill everybody, including
1:27:23
myself. Things can consume you Italians are so passionate, and
1:27:27
I really had to fight against that. Because, you know, just
1:27:30
like you did. I got too many people counting on me.
1:27:33
Adam Curry: Does he? I got so many people counting on me. Does
1:27:37
he is he have a book out about him wanting to kill him. That's
1:27:39
probably this is a setup. Either it's out or he's getting ready
1:27:42
for it. He's promoting a book about his IOMMU I wanted to kill
1:27:45
everybody wanted to kill myself. It's all about me. Look at me
1:27:48
because Italians are passionate. Screw this guy. Don't close.
1:27:54
John C Dvorak: Close. Close. But believe me, you're close. But
1:28:00
the thing is, he had a book deal that was killed after he was
1:28:05
fired. And he's suing the publisher. So he's got no book
1:28:08
coming out and you start suing publishers. You're gonna be Oh,
1:28:11
yeah, you're never gonna get a book. That's like
1:28:13
Adam Curry: saying I was discriminated against as a
1:28:15
woman. I didn't get a raise. That's right. You're never
1:28:17
working in television again. Natali Morris?
1:28:21
John C Dvorak: Well, I need it better was cat Sadler down an E
1:28:25
News.
1:28:26
Adam Curry: All right. Back to gay. Because you tell me since
1:28:33
you're the expert, is this a man or a woman speaking?
1:28:38
Unknown: One example would be the quote unquote don't say gay
1:28:40
law in Florida. You know it. Studies show that one supportive
1:28:45
adult
1:28:45
Adam Curry: man or woman, man. And what is the man's name?
1:28:52
Karen No, Rachel.
1:28:55
John C Dvorak: That's Rachel. That's Rachel lovey. It sounds
1:28:58
like a man. Well, looks like a woman.
1:29:01
Unknown: One supportive adult for an LGBT actually this is
1:29:04
Adam Curry: a pretty interesting clip. I've carried this over for
1:29:06
a few shows. This is what Rachel Levine had to say. And it's
1:29:09
about Florida. This is why I play it the don't say gay law
1:29:13
but just listen to what P she you think used to be Richard.
1:29:17
I'm just gonna dead name because this I don't even believe that
1:29:20
Rachel Levine is transferred because because he believes he's
1:29:24
trans. I just it's hard for me to believe that seems like a
1:29:27
gag.
1:29:28
John C Dvorak: Kind of like, like the guy like to teach
1:29:31
Adam Curry: with the big boobs Exactly. Feels like a gag again.
1:29:35
Unknown: One example would be the quote unquote, don't say gay
1:29:37
law. In Florida. You know it, studies show that one supportive
1:29:42
adult, one supportive adult for an LGBTQ plus kid can make all
1:29:48
the difference in terms of preventing suicide in terms of
1:29:51
them, being able to navigate the world and to adulthood and
1:29:55
leading a you know, a happy, successful, productive life.
1:29:59
Once sort of Dove. I'd love it if that was always the parent,
1:30:02
but it's not always apparent. Frequently, it's a teacher, or a
1:30:06
guidance counselor or some other coach or another school
1:30:09
personnel. This law forbids kids essentially from from talking to
1:30:14
these people, because they also, it means that the that if you
1:30:17
tell a teacher, the teacher has to tell the parent. And so it
1:30:20
really is, is a gag rule, it's a gag law, to to to hell, and that
1:30:25
to two kids from accessing supportive adults.
1:30:29
Adam Curry: So really is better if, if this is just one, you
1:30:33
only need one supportive adult, this is. Yes, I think if a
1:30:39
teacher, whatever your child is going through a teacher should
1:30:41
talk to the parents about it shouldn't be just and especially
1:30:44
not if teachers just have the capability to enjoy. Let's go
1:30:48
talk to this doctor over here. Anyway, that that's your
1:30:51
Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services. So now let's
1:30:56
listen to de Santos. As you would say, Ronnie, I do not like
1:31:01
the directions he's headed. This sounds like a good idea. But I
1:31:06
don't like it. So
1:31:08
Unknown: what is the digital Bill of Rights? Well, we want to
1:31:11
protect your right as a Floridian to have private in
1:31:15
person conversations without big tech surveilling you, if you
1:31:20
want to consent to let them have this information. So they can
1:31:23
fashion advertising based off of it, it's your right to consent
1:31:27
to do so. But it should only be if you consent, and they don't
1:31:30
have a right to have that information. As a matter of
1:31:33
first principle, we also are going to protect the right to
1:31:37
participate in online platforms without unfair censorship. We
1:31:42
want free speech, we want more speech, not less speech, we want
1:31:45
to protect the right to know how these Internet search engines
1:31:49
are manipulating search results, transparency, in terms of what
1:31:53
we're doing so that you can evaluate whether that's a search
1:31:56
engine that you want to use. Or maybe you want to take your
1:31:59
business elsewhere. We want to protect your right to control
1:32:03
all your personal data on the largest and most common
1:32:07
platforms, they take that personal data, and they make a
1:32:10
fortune off your personal data. So you're talking about Google,
1:32:14
Facebook, just a handful these companies, they should really
1:32:19
get Express authorization from you before they're able to
1:32:23
monetize that or use it in any way. And then finally, digital
1:32:27
Bill of Rights aims to protect children from various online
1:32:32
harms. And as we see, that's a huge issue.
1:32:34
Adam Curry: Yeah, yeah. Somebody Think of the children, there
1:32:37
should be no legislation. This digital especially called the
1:32:41
Digital Bill of Rights. No, these are all rights we have,
1:32:45
instead of what they want. What DeSantis wants is he wants
1:32:50
control. He wants to control the internet. This is why they all
1:32:53
put but it's net neutrality is the same thing. I mean, this,
1:32:57
this debate will not end well. You don't really want this you
1:33:02
want education. You want to tell people, here's the here's all
1:33:05
the crap that's going down. Here's the systems and here's
1:33:09
the companies that do it. Here's what they do. Just just educate
1:33:12
people continuously. That's what they need. Not to Oh,
1:33:16
government's going to save me government's going to protect
1:33:19
me. That has never worked out. I'm hoping you would agree with
1:33:23
me on this.
1:33:27
John C Dvorak: Well, just to take the other side of it,
1:33:29
because you do that to me now every day. Well, you deserve and
1:33:33
I would pray. I would say it's just blather. It's just he's
1:33:38
just talking out of his ass because none of this is going to
1:33:41
happen one way or the other. Oh, that's digital. Right? That's
1:33:45
just Italys just bullshit. That's just as good. I'll take
1:33:48
that.
1:33:50
Adam Curry: Look, okay, I want to move to climate change
1:33:52
because there's stuff happening. Yes, yes, there's good stuff
1:33:55
happening and climate change the war
1:33:58
Unknown: means
1:34:01
Adam Curry: a war on me. Let's make meat look bad. We
1:34:05
Unknown: also learned today that a Wisconsin company paid more
1:34:08
than one and a half million dollars in fines for violating
1:34:12
child labor laws. The Labor Department says packers
1:34:16
sanitation services had more than 100 children, some as young
1:34:19
as 13, working at more than a dozen meat processing plants in
1:34:24
eight states.
1:34:25
Adam Curry: Now when I was 13 I had jobs like that not
1:34:29
meatpacking. But
1:34:32
John C Dvorak: I wouldn't think so. No,
1:34:34
Adam Curry: but there were there. I worked. I did work for
1:34:37
FAR. I worked for a butcher. I did some stuff and I didn't
1:34:39
actually pack the meat. But I was around I mean, you're not
1:34:42
allowed to have a job when you're 13
1:34:45
John C Dvorak: like a Saturday jobs when I was 13. I had jobs
1:34:48
Adam Curry: when I was a paperboy. Same with me. Is that
1:34:50
not allowed anymore?
1:34:53
John C Dvorak: I said I said I think it is but I think when I
1:34:56
was a kid and I wanted to work in a factory and I wasn't which
1:35:00
is, you know, in high school, for example, you had to get a
1:35:04
work permit.
1:35:06
Adam Curry: Oh, okay. I've never gotten that.
1:35:08
John C Dvorak: So I got a work permit to work a full time job
1:35:12
and during the summer, and I think you had to be 14 to get to
1:35:17
work permit or 15 to 14, probably. And you get these it
1:35:22
was really just a rubber stamp.
1:35:24
Adam Curry: Exactly me well, by Nike. There's no children
1:35:27
involved in gluing that together.
1:35:29
John C Dvorak: All right, well, that's a good point. It's kind
1:35:30
of hypocritical report.
1:35:32
Adam Curry: Let's go down to the electric vehicles. There's a hit
1:35:35
out on EVs. It has to it has to happen because we're moving to
1:35:39
clean hydrogen, which just will not work 56,000 hydrogen
1:35:45
vehicles already on the road in America. So they say, Here's
1:35:50
Bloomberg. Kind of setting the narrative. This was a podcast,
1:35:54
by the way, setting the narrative with this guy, Steven
1:35:57
schork about just how bad electric vehicles are for the
1:36:01
environment. This obviously revolves around the battery.
1:36:04
Unknown: You said a line there, I think it was EVs are certainly
1:36:07
not that environmentally friendly. Explain that to us.
1:36:11
Yeah. I mean, this look what's happening in California right
1:36:14
now, we're at the first lifecycle ending of those solar
1:36:17
panels. California does not never had a plan to dispose of
1:36:22
those solar panels. So now all the heavy metal that was sold
1:36:25
pens was sitting in a dumps with potential of all the heavy
1:36:30
metals in there leaking out into the environment. And now when
1:36:34
you factor in the fact that EVs are such a small percentage of
1:36:38
the global market, when we talk about the amount of Earth, and
1:36:41
we're talking about something about the size of the state of
1:36:44
Arizona, and Nevada, just here, the United States to see our
1:36:47
demand, the amount of Earth you're going to have to rip up
1:36:50
to get to these heavy metals. So that's we're ripping up China,
1:36:53
we're going to rip up the Congo, which we already are, we're
1:36:56
going to rip up Argentina to get to the to the cobalt there, when
1:37:00
we have to rip up that earth it will make 120 130 years of coal
1:37:04
mining and oil drilling look like a pinprick of the amount of
1:37:09
environmental degradation we're gonna have to do to get those
1:37:13
virtue signaling and heavy metals into that evey battery
1:37:17
states and why don't we have in that conversation more? I don't
1:37:21
know. I mean, it's what we're doing because we're such a
1:37:23
fractured political donation, if I'm seeing something 49 50% of
1:37:28
the people watching this think I'm nuts and think I'm some kind
1:37:31
of pushing some sort of agenda. I'm just looking for a meeting
1:37:34
of the minds and I want to I want to I want to really promote
1:37:37
my hybrid. It's the best of both worlds. It's a little bit of
1:37:41
fossil dough going away there. And it's a little bit of
1:37:45
electricity. It's a little bit of both compromise.
1:37:48
Adam Curry: Yeah, there it is. The war is on and this is my
1:37:52
favorite one. Oh, Tesla recalls,
1:37:55
Unknown: voluntarily recalling more than 360,000 vehicles
1:37:58
warning that it's experimental Driver Assistance software may
1:38:02
cause crashes. Federal investigators say Tesla's full
1:38:05
self driving beta software can send cars straight through
1:38:09
intersections where there's a turn only lane failed to come to
1:38:12
a full stop at stop signs or blow through yellow lights. It
1:38:16
says it will update the software in the impacted vehicles.
1:38:20
Adam Curry: So the choice here for the term recall is very
1:38:24
interesting for
1:38:25
John C Dvorak: very controversial NPR locally, I
1:38:28
didn't have the clip, but I was gonna get it it just seemed a
1:38:31
little long and boring. But they made a big fuss about it Tesla
1:38:35
made the first it was must be so why we're not nobody has to
1:38:38
drive their car indices and over there were software fix. Why do
1:38:43
you insist on calling it a recall? And NPR persisted on
1:38:47
calling it a recall as though they were in on it. Here's ABC
1:38:51
Unknown: CEO Elon Musk
1:38:52
is taking issue with the word recall saying using that word
1:38:56
for an over the air software update is just plain wrong.
1:39:00
Adam Curry: Yeah, but she's on the losing end. He's on the
1:39:03
losing end while
1:39:05
John C Dvorak: he was I doing clip for this series Tesla crash
1:39:11
Unknown: is dead after
1:39:12
Adam Curry: a Tesla slam into a fire truck in the East Bay
1:39:14
happened this morning. A northbound six ad Firefighters
1:39:18
say the Tesla hit a truck that was blocking a different crash
1:39:22
driver died at the scene. Passenger and four firefighters
1:39:25
were taken to the hospital. They have all since been released.
1:39:28
Yeah, I love the Super Bowl commercials. Most people who
1:39:33
hate Tesla was not Yeah, it was Tesla, right. They're out to get
1:39:38
them they're out to get they're out to eat well, ever
1:39:40
John C Dvorak: since Musk said vote Republican. And ever since
1:39:43
he began ever since the
1:39:45
Adam Curry: Twitter files. Of course. Maybe he's only maybe
1:39:48
he's not that smart. Oh, what did I just say there?
1:39:51
John C Dvorak: Maybe this is a part of a bigger play.
1:39:53
Adam Curry: No, no, he just made each. He's just not impressive.
1:39:56
I've met him he's not impressive. He didn't start
1:39:59
these kinds. Companies he was put in there by Sequoia Capital.
1:40:03
Roelof, Botha is the CEO another South African. It's the Cabal.
1:40:08
And you know, and his hair is fake news. I hate I hate to do
1:40:12
it, but it's just like. And he was really, really unattractive
1:40:16
and balding, and now he's just not balding and unattractive.
1:40:20
And it just doesn't seem smart. He just talk talk talks,
1:40:24
interestingly. Alright, the view had a scoop. She didn't come to
1:40:29
see them, of course, because she no longer flies. But I guess
1:40:34
Greta is back on the scene.
1:40:38
Unknown: In the last five years, Greta Thun Berg has gone from a
1:40:41
solo student activist to an international icon and the
1:40:44
movement to combat climate change. Now she and more than
1:40:47
100 experts are sounding yet another global warning on the
1:40:51
crisis in the climate book, which is right here joining us
1:40:55
from Sweden. Please welcome Greta Thun Berg.
1:41:04
Thank you for coming on the show. Congratulations on the
1:41:07
book, we should point out that it's been 60 degrees here in New
1:41:10
York this week in mid February, just saying
1:41:13
Adam Curry: just didn't we have like a an Arctic bomb? Oh, gosh.
1:41:22
Just Damn. Weather is not climate.
1:41:25
Unknown: I wonder how would you describe where we stand today in
1:41:28
terms of climate, the climate crisis? Are we better or worse
1:41:32
off than when you began striking five years ago?
1:41:36
Adam Curry: Now what would the answer be to this question?
1:41:39
John C Dvorak: In your worst self, of course,
1:41:41
Adam Curry: is that really all your full Ramsar? Is that the if
1:41:44
you're Greta, that's all you would say? We're just worse off?
1:41:48
John C Dvorak: How dare you say that very dare you.
1:41:52
Unknown: It depends on how you see it. If you see it. From one
1:41:55
perspective, the concentration, the level of co2 in the
1:41:59
atmosphere is higher now than it was before. We are seeing more
1:42:02
and more natural disasters, more people are displaced more people
1:42:06
are losing their lives and livelihoods due to the
1:42:08
consequences of the climate crisis. So in that,
1:42:10
Adam Curry: who's losing a job over the consequence of the
1:42:13
climate crisis.
1:42:16
John C Dvorak: craniums are displaced
1:42:18
Unknown: more people are losing their lives and livelihoods due
1:42:20
to the consequences of the climate crisis. So in that
1:42:23
sense, we are far worse off than we were before. But also we can
1:42:27
see that more and more people are starting to stand up and
1:42:29
speak up, speak out about these issues, and more people are
1:42:33
mobilizing so but it's going wait way too slow. So I would
1:42:38
say we're both better off and much worse off.
1:42:42
Adam Curry: It's better and worse. Wrong. My question would
1:42:47
be, what do you think of those stickers on? On gas tanks and
1:42:51
gas stations of you? What do you think of that question? No, no,
1:42:55
no, we can't do that. We have to bring in some culture and Greta.
1:42:59
I'm sorry. Go ahead.
1:43:00
John C Dvorak: I was gonna say if I was gonna ask her stuff. I
1:43:02
asked her if she was okay with all these private jets that fly
1:43:05
into these climate meetups.
1:43:06
Adam Curry: Well, she doesn't fly anymore. You see, so you
1:43:08
didn't fly out. But
1:43:09
John C Dvorak: is she okay with everybody else flying in and
1:43:11
it's private jets?
1:43:13
Adam Curry: Did I play the Bill Gates? answer to that question.
1:43:19
John C Dvorak: I don't think like the Jeffrey Epstein is dead
1:43:21
Adam Curry: known. Know about the private key of the BBC asked
1:43:25
gates that very question.
1:43:27
John C Dvorak: What do you say to the charge that if you are a
1:43:30
climate change campaigner, but you also travel around the world
1:43:33
and a private jet, you're a hypocrite? Well, I, I
1:43:38
Unknown: by the gold standard of funding climeworks to do direct
1:43:44
air capture that far exceeds my family's carbon footprint. And I
1:43:51
spend billions of dollars on on climate innovation. I'm so good.
1:43:55
So, you know, should I stay at home and not come to Kenya and
1:43:59
learn about farming and malaria? Anyway, I mean, I'm
1:44:04
uncomfortable with the idea that not only am I not part of the
1:44:10
problem by paying for the offsets, but also through the
1:44:14
billions that my Breakthrough Energy Group is spending that
1:44:19
I'm part of the
1:44:19
solution.
1:44:21
Adam Curry: I'm good, I'm virtuous, I spend money
1:44:23
John C Dvorak: i There should be a follow up question. And I
1:44:26
could have been the one to ask it. Even though everyone else
1:44:28
should have asked it. Bill. You used to refuse to fly in private
1:44:32
jets and only go commercial
1:44:35
Adam Curry: coach and you fly coach. That's right. I remember
1:44:38
they always
1:44:38
John C Dvorak: flew coach, in fact, and the thing of course,
1:44:41
the gimmick there was he flew coach, but he always got
1:44:43
upgraded by the airline, because he was so rich. So they always
1:44:48
move in the first class and I ran into him once on a flight
1:44:50
and I went in first class where he was and chatted with him for
1:44:53
a bit and I went back to coach afterwards, where you belong,
1:44:58
where I belong. Marriage. So, so he used to always do that he
1:45:04
refused to get a private jet until he married and Melinda is
1:45:07
the one who got him to
1:45:08
Adam Curry: No, no, I think once he was on that Epstein Lolita
1:45:11
Express, he's like, this is the ship.
1:45:14
John C Dvorak: I think that's what happened. I think he got on
1:45:16
the Epstein plane after he got married.
1:45:18
Adam Curry: I'm going to skip the credit because just not
1:45:21
interesting because now that Africa is I just need to play a
1:45:24
couple of Africa clips because Africa is so on deck. Now, we
1:45:28
are going to not not that we haven't been already but the EU,
1:45:32
China, United States, Russia, all positioning to rape Africa.
1:45:38
But we got to change a few things. First, here's Antonio
1:45:40
Contreras, who is the Secretary General of the United Nations.
1:45:45
Unknown: Well, after the opening of the African Union summit, the
1:45:48
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said that the African
1:45:51
countries are being denied much needed debt relief, he sought
1:45:55
reforms to the structures of international finance to better
1:45:58
serve the needs of developing countries.
1:46:01
Investing in Africa best ways to prosperity requires finance and
1:46:06
developing countries are repeatedly left in the lurch.
1:46:10
The global financial system routinely denies them depth
1:46:14
relief and concessional financing, while charging
1:46:18
extortionate interest rates. As a result, vital systems are
1:46:23
starved of investment from Elson education to green technology,
1:46:27
social protection and the creation of new sustainable
1:46:30
jobs.
1:46:31
Adam Curry: Now this is the thing we keep hearing is that we
1:46:34
need to change international finance. This is not being done
1:46:38
the right way. We've heard we need to change the leadership at
1:46:42
the World Bank because we need everyone to come together and
1:46:44
finance Africa for climate change. And they got their wish
1:46:49
it's not the
1:46:49
Unknown: business Kate moody Jones has sided with the news of
1:46:51
the precedence of the World Bank is stepping down.
1:46:55
Early Malpass will be leaving his post by the end of this
1:46:58
June. That's about a year before his five year term would have
1:47:02
expired. The reasons for his departure were not made clear
1:47:06
Adam Curry: and probably to spend more time with his family.
1:47:08
Malpass was appointed
1:47:09
Unknown: by the former US President Donald Trump in 2019.
1:47:13
He's overseeing the distribution of aid to developing countries
1:47:16
as well as war torn Ukraine, and just last week, an initial $1.8
1:47:20
billion for Turkey. He has the courted controversy. Last year,
1:47:25
he declined to say whether he believed human activity
1:47:28
contributed to climate change. He later said he had been
1:47:32
misunderstood. The World Bank has made the green transition
1:47:35
and fighting climate change a key pillar of its mandate.
1:47:39
Adam Curry: Okay, so there you go. We got rid of the problem
1:47:42
guy, we can now put everyone's money to work. And we now have a
1:47:47
clear signal. Whenever war is coming to a country, you first
1:47:54
get this report.
1:47:56
Unknown: The satellite based internet soon to be provided by
1:47:59
billionaire Elon Musk's high speed Satellite Internet venture
1:48:02
is expected to give students and teachers in Rwanda access to
1:48:06
educational resources and digital tools. The program is
1:48:09
expected to begin this February.
1:48:11
Adam Curry: Yeah, don't ever Elon Musk deploy Starling to a
1:48:15
country war is coming. Because that's the sales job. Once you
1:48:19
have it deployed, then you just flip the switch and sell it to
1:48:21
the military under what's it called? Defense link or
1:48:25
whatever. Yeah, same thing. Yeah, same thing. Only 100 times
1:48:30
as expensive. So Africa for and luckily Dave Ackerman is
1:48:36
scouring Africa news every single day. That because that's
1:48:40
the only news we'll get about it except that everyone has been to
1:48:44
different African countries. The Russians, the Chinese, we have
1:48:48
the Brits, everyone's everyone's going to Africa getting it all.
1:48:52
John C Dvorak: You're giving it up behind the scenes somewhere.
1:48:54
Adam Curry: What do you mean they're giving it up? Divi?
1:48:57
Divi? Divi? Oh, yeah, possible very possible. We say
1:49:07
John C Dvorak: well, if you join my climb, it lets you play this
1:49:09
whole clip of mine. NPR clip on DeSantis you have to look it up
1:49:13
because it's from a couple of shows ago DeSantis and climate
1:49:17
change
1:49:19
Adam Curry: after Santos came back into the picture. Got it.
1:49:24
Unknown: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has touted it
1:49:26
Adam Curry: was DeSantis we're doing it wrong. We said DeSantis
1:49:30
de Santos its DeSantis Florida
1:49:32
Unknown: Governor Ron DeSantis has touted a record amount of
1:49:35
spending to help his state prepare for the effects of
1:49:38
climate change. But his policy on that front is coming under
1:49:41
scrutiny by many residents still reeling from Hurricane Ian. Amy
1:49:45
green of W MFE and Orlando reports.
1:49:48
Jason Diaz awoke in the middle of the night to the sound of
1:49:51
trickling water.
1:49:52
When I stepped up. I was already ankle deep in water.
1:49:56
The next few hours were a blur of evacuating family members and
1:49:59
neighbors Whereas in swimming through five feet of water. A
1:50:03
few days later, Diaz sat near a noisy idling bus outside the
1:50:06
Kissimmee Civic Center, which had been turned into a shelter
1:50:10
for the displace like him. Virtually everything he owned
1:50:14
was swamped back at his apartment.
1:50:16
Massaro about losing my stuff is just that I had. And I might get
1:50:21
emotional. I had a collection of collectibles for my grandkids
1:50:25
that I've been collecting for 30 years. And that's all gone.
1:50:29
When Hurricane Ian hit Florida. It destroyed coastal communities
1:50:33
in southwest Florida, before causing widespread flooding
1:50:36
across the state's interior. The hurricane show is what states
1:50:39
like Florida faces climate change leads to more extreme
1:50:42
weather DeSantis has focused his climate change policy on
1:50:46
resilience. Under his leadership, the state has put
1:50:49
more than a billion dollars toward hardening infrastructure
1:50:52
against rising seas and more destructive storms. The governor
1:50:56
Republican faces reelection next month and is considered a
1:51:00
potential front runner for the GOP presidential nomination in
1:51:04
2024. During a stop in Daytona Beach, DeSantis said he's
1:51:08
noticed that newer infrastructures seem to fare
1:51:11
better against hurricane Ian, the stuff
1:51:13
that was new same with some of the homes you do see the impact
1:51:17
of that. And so I think we were right to to do things like we
1:51:20
have with the resilient coastline
1:51:22
DeSantis this program was signed into law in 2021, which means
1:51:26
it's unlikely to have had a big impact on infrastructure before
1:51:30
the hurricane. Environmental groups say the governor's
1:51:33
climate change. Okay.
1:51:35
Adam Curry: That was really pretty boring.
1:51:37
John C Dvorak: It was very boring. That's probably what
1:51:38
wasn't played.
1:51:40
Adam Curry: What was that actually about? Wait, he was
1:51:45
John C Dvorak: climatologist was going to be a good guy to vote
1:51:47
for
1:51:48
Adam Curry: was that MTD? told me it was?
1:51:50
John C Dvorak: No that was NPR? Goodness. Which makes no sense
1:51:54
if you think about it.
1:51:55
Adam Curry: Oh, that rule actually kind of hurt. Yeah. Did
1:51:59
you have something else before we? Here's I'll tell you what
1:52:01
we're gonna do. We have not even touched on Ohio. I know
1:52:05
everyone's so excited to talk about Ohio. So we'll have to
1:52:08
talk about Ohio, Ohio, Ohio, Ohio. Because that's all we can
1:52:12
talk about because it's the political gambit of the hour.
1:52:17
Abused by every every politician almost from the get go. And also
1:52:22
about Turkey a turkey ADA semana news we should talk about there
1:52:27
but before that, I'd like to say in the morning to you the man
1:52:30
who put the sea in the fraudulent claims of fraud
1:52:33
ladies and gentlemen, please say hello to my friend on the other
1:52:35
end Mr. John C. davara.
1:52:39
John C Dvorak: Morning to you Mr. Adam curiosity in the
1:52:41
morning all ships to see boots to the ground feet in the air,
1:52:43
substance and water and all the days and nights out in the
1:52:45
morning
1:52:46
Adam Curry: to the trolls over there in the troll room. We've
1:52:48
had a lot of trolls hanging out in the troll room and you can be
1:52:50
one if you want troll room.io You can log in right that you do
1:52:54
need an email address that actually works. Some trolls
1:52:58

1:53:04
there. So we have so we can register trolls and track you
1:53:08
down and shoot you. So let's count
1:53:15
2294 I think that's a good number.
1:53:19
John C Dvorak: Yeah, you know, it's pretty standard for Sunday.
1:53:22
Adam Curry: Well, that's not bad. It's been worse, that's for
1:53:24
sure. trolls, TROLLS, you can also become a troll in the

kick you off if I feel like it. Or if John tells me to, which
1:54:24
happens a lot. John will say kick that guy off. Okay.
1:54:30
John C Dvorak: I'd like twice okay. All right in five years.
1:54:34
Adam Curry: Now, let us thank the artists. The no agenda
1:54:37
artists who are incredibly kind with their value they contribute
1:54:42
to the show every single show while we're doing it live they
1:54:44
are creating art. We will use one of these pieces will choose
1:54:48
it right after the show was done. We thank the artist for
1:54:51
episode 1530. We titled that one red queen Roger roundy had it it
1:54:56
just made us laugh. It had kind of it had a nice appeal to it
1:54:59
too. was the what are those flowers of those like? Those
1:55:06
yellow flowers?
1:55:07
John C Dvorak: This is a flower of some sort.
1:55:09
Adam Curry: Like a water lily of some sort. Yeah, it looked it
1:55:12
looks a bit like a lily. I'm sorry about your pipeline love
1:55:16
CIA and curry Dvorak separated by a little cartoonish bomb. It
1:55:22
somehow it struck the right chord with us.
1:55:24
John C Dvorak: It definitely made you laugh a lot. Yeah, I
1:55:27
Adam Curry: did. Well, I laugh. That's kind of what I'm looking
1:55:30
for. I'm always looking for a laugh that makes a cheap laugh.
1:55:33
Yes, that makes both of us. chuckle is even better. There
1:55:38
were a couple of ones in there that were that were pretty
1:55:41
cheap. Let's see. A lot has been added. I can see now. We
1:55:48
actually debated quite a while about the the aircraft with the
1:55:53
pins.
1:55:54
John C Dvorak: With the preamps I use it for the newsletter. I
1:55:57
saw that now. What was at issue with this? Well, for one thing,
1:56:01
it's not an F 22 Raptor. Yes, I believe that's an F 16. So that
1:56:07
Oh, Pa of epic proportions. Obviously. It's also clipart
1:56:11
which was fine. He's probably licenses, but it's been around a
1:56:14
little too much that clipart I've seen too often.
1:56:16
Adam Curry: Yeah, it was really good. We always do the Google
1:56:20
Image Search and but the
1:56:21
John C Dvorak: pins were dynamite. Yes. I mean, we could
1:56:25
have used it
1:56:25
Adam Curry: but we're just really afraid of comics or
1:56:27
Blogger giving a shit so he's gonna
1:56:29
John C Dvorak: go off. It's really fun is really so who
1:56:31
created the comic strip blogger had a really good piece, but we
1:56:34
both knew just by looking at that it was done by AI so
1:56:37
Adam Curry: automatically off the list. We thought the was
1:56:43
that Kareem Abdul Jabbar Top Gun by networks. Very funny. very
1:56:48
racist. We figured that wouldn't work. Oh, she had her. Which one
1:56:53
was this? She's the pilot. She's the Top Gun pilot. We knew that
1:56:58
we would be called up for racist. We just saw it like nah,
1:57:01
that's not gonna work.
1:57:03
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's no good.
1:57:05
Adam Curry: l Biden, which is kind of funny, but we don't like
1:57:08
del Biden. We don't like and the green el Biden.
1:57:13
John C Dvorak: Well, that's the comic strip blogger, one that
1:57:15
obviously can't draw. That's right. That's the one that we
1:57:18
hated because it's a and I liked the one next to it to this
1:57:21
sneaky Bearcat. But it's a little bit very obscure,
1:57:24
Adam Curry: very obscure, obscure. Then there was some
1:57:27
poker stuff. Some confusing stuff. What was this lien which
1:57:34
I still don't understand still talking about balloons.
1:57:39
Capitalist agenda had a red queen rising, I'd say semi
1:57:43
cheese cake. Which we like, but no one would understand it.
1:57:51
Everything seemed messy to me. I mean, it was
1:57:55
John C Dvorak: it was it wasn't a show with a lot of material
1:57:58
that would be amenable for Appspot art.
1:58:01
Adam Curry: So you're saying that we failed. We fell down? We
1:58:03
didn't have we didn't have a show that has good to topics? Or
1:58:08
good gags or good job?
1:58:09
John C Dvorak: Well, yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's
1:58:11
possible. It's possible.
1:58:13
Adam Curry: It's possible. But anyway, Roger roundy I think it
1:58:16
was very surprised himself. Oh, yeah.
1:58:19
John C Dvorak: No, his he's the pieces that when he's one. It's
1:58:21
never for his good art.
1:58:23
Adam Curry: Right. When he when he swing into swing out of his
1:58:26
cleats. It never happens. Just throw something out there. Yeah,
1:58:30
we'll go for that. Thank you very much Roger round and we
1:58:33
appreciate that. And the work of all of the artists who support
1:58:35
no agenda with value for value. We ask for your time, your
1:58:37
talent, your treasure. Go look at Gitmo, the Gitmo list.org You
1:58:42
see all of the things that people have put up websites,
1:58:45
including a no agenda show.net including no agenda meetups.com.
1:58:50
I mean, the only thing we've actually done ourselves is
1:58:51
DeVore act.org/na. And it's problematic. So and by the way,
1:58:56
it's changing out here getting the change in first quarter,
1:59:00
first quarter. Now we'd like to thank our producers we have
1:59:05

Adam Curry: finish my rap about producers? Sure.
1:59:18
John C Dvorak: What was it?
1:59:18
Adam Curry: Well, our producers, they bring the treasure part of
1:59:22
time, talent and treasure. In addition to that, they get
1:59:26
credits so we have Associate Executive Producer $200 or above
1:59:30
$300 above gets you an executive producer. These are forever
1:59:33

2:00:02
Adam Curry: Whoa yeah we are happy with that one man
2:00:07
John C Dvorak: came to this conclusion after the deep fake
2:00:09
of Joe Biden rapping at the end of show 1528 pushed her over the
2:00:14
edge. I knew then in there I had that I do listen. Emphasize on

It was not the previous one. What episode was it? Did she
2:01:32
say?
2:01:34
John C Dvorak: Oh,
2:01:35
Adam Curry: I think was 1529.
2:01:37
John C Dvorak: Well, whatever it was, there was a good rap that
2:01:39
was done by a Joe Biden voice.
2:01:41
Adam Curry: Alright, and I just want to make sure we give props
2:01:44

2:01:48

different ways. Beautiful. Thank you very much. And thank you.

2:07:17
terrorist. We must be doing something right anywho I love

2:08:15
calming respite. I look forward to them on my regular walks in

I this is barren rock from greater Lindbergh. And it's
2:24:29
really a great success to have this lady meet up on the go.
2:24:32
Hello, I'm Nick. This is great still.
2:24:40
Adam Curry: Yes, yes. You want to say something drunk. Or as we
2:24:47
would say Strunk stoned and drunk are very good people very
2:24:51
light and it's a university town. Can you tell? Those are
2:24:55
the meetups? That's the meetup important that you heard the
2:24:57
meetups earlier. There's a lot of meetups going on. If you want
2:25:00
to be part of the community, you're listening to the show you
2:25:03
already are. But believe me, you go to one of these meetups, you
2:25:06
think you're weird. Everybody's weird. No one will be like, you
2:25:09
know, every single person is different, but somehow we all
2:25:12
fit together. These meetups are good. They're protection because
2:25:16
connection is protection. And you can find them at no agenda.
2:25:20
meetups.com If you can't find one near you start one yourself.
2:25:23
It's easy at a party with dicen de BombBomb you'd be triggered
2:25:42
is like, I got the ISOs. I know one of mine is dynamite. And one
2:25:48
of them has to hit one of them. I would hope. Do you have any? I
2:25:52
have to alright. What can you hear yours? First?
2:25:55
John C Dvorak: I have fraud.
2:25:57
Unknown: fraudulent claims of fraud.
2:26:01
Adam Curry: Okay, classic. And tool, a tool for lazy preachers.
2:26:09
Let's see. If you'd like one of mine.
2:26:11
Unknown: I'm obsessed with the show. Mm.
2:26:14
Adam Curry: Not bad. Not bad. Or
2:26:16
Unknown: sensational sensational. Or
2:26:26
John C Dvorak: that's got to be my favorite. Might be I can
2:26:29
understand what he said. That's
2:26:30
Adam Curry: the opener of Houston. True doe. That's how
2:26:33
they announced just all of that one. I like
2:26:38
John C Dvorak: I don't care for that one. I like the shoe. Both
2:26:41
of them in the second one I think is the is the winner.
2:26:45
Unknown: Sensational. Sensational. That one?
2:26:49
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Okay,
2:26:50
Adam Curry: I'll take it. So good. It's all good people. So
2:26:54
good. Oh, let me see. There was so before we
2:26:58
John C Dvorak: go into anything serious. Oh, please. I'm behind
2:27:02
in my tick tock catches. We need a jingle for this. So I got a
2:27:07
tic toc lady here, bitch. She's beside herself not knowing quite
2:27:11
what to do. And this is what she people like this, I guess obsess
2:27:15
all day about things like this? Because? I don't know. I don't
2:27:20
know. I have no idea why anyone was obsessed so much that
2:27:24
they're gonna put it out there for when a tick tock to listen
2:27:26
to it. This is tick tock, the gendered lady.
2:27:29
Unknown: So I was just picking up my vehicle from an oil
2:27:31
change. And the person came out of the garage and said, What can
2:27:33
I do for you, young lady? And I know that this was intended to
2:27:37
be a greeting of respect and kindness or politeness, maybe.
2:27:41
But I had this immediate like, okay, young, maybe
2:27:44
comparatively, I'll take it. But I was like, lady, what do I do
2:27:47
it that like, it's so complicated because I know this
2:27:50
person only intended kindness, there was a smile on their face.
2:27:54
Like I knew that they weren't trying to like patronize me or
2:27:57
gender me, but I felt so gendered and so inappropriately
2:28:01
gendered. And I don't know what to do with that, like, what do
2:28:03
you do with that when someone like has the best of intentions,
2:28:06
and I don't really want to spend all of my spoons trying to
2:28:09
educate someone at the Costco car center.
2:28:13
Adam Curry: Limit. So she was misgendered. No, she was just
2:28:17
gendered. She was gendered. She didn't want to be gendered at
2:28:20
all. Right? Oh, this is one of these. These. These are those
2:28:24
women. I've learned that from you. This is one of those women.
2:28:29
Who, who when you if you hold the door open like well, I could
2:28:32
John C Dvorak: do that nice now. Yeah, exactly. Same, same
2:28:35
person. And
2:28:37
Adam Curry: sounds like that to that I can do myself, thank out.
2:28:40
I'm like that she's a sweetheart. Here in the south.
2:28:44
We have right here in the south, we hold the door open for the
2:28:48
dames for a prime
2:28:50
John C Dvorak: mover who goes to cheer for him open the door in
2:28:52
the car. If
2:28:54
Adam Curry: a woman stands up at the table, I stand up. If she
2:28:56
comes back, I stand up. And this lady would read my Creek. I'm
2:29:03
nothing but a creep. That was very lighthearted. Thank you for
2:29:06
catching us up on the latest nut job, Marie. I did want to
2:29:11
mention, and now none of these are playable. But I put them up
2:29:15
put them in the show notes. There's now two, two Turkish
2:29:18
politicians. The most recent one is the head of the Ministry of
2:29:24
Interior interior of Turkey after the earthquake earthquake,
2:29:30
and this is what the head of the ministry said I have the
2:29:33
translation. There are no coincidences. And we told the
2:29:36
American ambassador that a week ago we did not agree with the
2:29:40
increase in the number of NATO members and a week later we had
2:29:43
a catastrophic earthquake. We know who did it and how get your
2:29:46
dirty paws off Turkey. We will draw our own conclusions. And
2:29:51
with that, several mentions of and this I think is true that
2:29:56
the turkey earthquake does not appear to have an epicenter
2:30:02
Which is interesting.
2:30:05
John C Dvorak: Well, even if it had an earthquake machine as
2:30:08
your you will contend, yes. Doesn't an earthquake have an
2:30:11
epicenter like the one in Japan had a very distinctive Epicenter
2:30:14
where the machine was?
2:30:16
Adam Curry: Right? No. The machine know that it was a bomb
2:30:21
that went off off the coast to start the tsunami. We all know
2:30:25
that that wasn't the earthquake machine. That was an underwater
2:30:28
explosion. I'm just trying to change history.
2:30:35
John C Dvorak: Should you try to change your own history? Yes.
2:30:39
Was a dairy a was a Darren Yes, the center there was the
2:30:42
earthquake.
2:30:44
Adam Curry: Yes, that's that's why it's weird that this one
2:30:46
didn't have an epicenter, but also ripped all like a huge, a
2:30:51
huge tear in the earth. And this is what the politicians are
2:30:56
saying. It's not me anymore. I'm not alone. They're saying it.
2:31:03
Meanwhile, what you didn't hear in the region because it also
2:31:07
had Syria although it was northwestern Syria. We seem to
2:31:11
be killing people all over the place. A leader of
2:31:13
Unknown: the ISIS terrorist network in Syria is dead. But at
2:31:17
the price of four wounded Americans
2:31:20
an explosion during the raid also resulted in four US troops
2:31:25
and one of the working dogs suffering some some injuries.
2:31:29
US Special Operations Forces went in by helicopter and
2:31:32
surrounded a nondescript house in northeastern Syria. But as
2:31:36
they closed in on their target, an explosion either a suicide
2:31:40
vest or a hand grenade went off,
2:31:43
that troops and working dog are in stable condition. It is a
2:31:46
constant
2:31:47
threat. In 2019 When commandos raided the Syrian compound of
2:31:52
ISIS leader, Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, backing up himself and
2:31:56
three children to avoid capture. Last year YB Rahim al Hashimi al
2:32:01
Quraishi, another leader of ISIS set off a booby trap that level
2:32:06
the third floor of his house, killing himself, his wife and
2:32:09
two children. This time the target was Hamza el hum Z. And
2:32:14
this time he apparently waited for the Americans to get close
2:32:17
enough he
2:32:18
was overseeing the group's deadly terrorist network in
2:32:20
eastern Syria before he was killed in the raid.
2:32:22
There are about 900 American troops in Syria, working with
2:32:26
local Syrian forces to keep the ISIS terrorist network from
2:32:29
staging a comeback. It's a deadly game of hide and seek.
2:32:34
But no American troops were killed or wounded in all of last
2:32:38
year.
2:32:40
Adam Curry: This is not in the news. It's really weird that we
2:32:46
just just killing people. And what is the threat there? What
2:32:50
it why why are we doing this? Any ideas? Bueller?
2:32:55
John C Dvorak: I don't even know that story.
2:32:57
Adam Curry: No, but this is brand new. This just came out.
2:32:59
But that's my point is this is kind of nuts. We're just killing
2:33:01
people everywhere.
2:33:03
John C Dvorak: So I've got two epicenters. For the first two
2:33:06
Turkish earthquakes.
2:33:08
Adam Curry: Yes, there was two. The second one was apparently
2:33:10
even worse.
2:33:11
John C Dvorak: Well, the first one was was in Giza and typ was
2:33:15
the epicenter and the second one was in scrolled it off but it
2:33:23
didn't second one has a definite center to this bullcrap there is
2:33:26
no epicenter. I'm just
2:33:27
Adam Curry: telling you what the politicians are saying.
2:33:29
John C Dvorak: Well those guys are they hate us.
2:33:32
Adam Curry: Well, yeah with good reason. We've been doing it
2:33:37
everywhere around the world. Take Fukushima you just said to
2:33:40
yourself that
2:33:41
John C Dvorak: you know they should take I have a Turkish
2:33:42
clip to show you how many buildings were destroyed. They
2:33:44
should take aim at their own politicians who didn't enforce
2:33:47
building codes which were I guess since they have so many
2:33:51
earthquakes there see what there's an earthquake machine or
2:33:53
not. They do have quite a lot.
2:33:56
Adam Curry: If you look at the list, but this is the biggest
2:33:58
wasn't up to 45,000 Dead they estimate
2:34:01
Unknown: but listen to this clip. Turkey's interior minister
2:34:04
said today that over 80,000 buildings and his name is the
2:34:08
same guy. The same the same guy Turkey's interior minister said
2:34:12
today that over 80,000 buildings in his nation were either
2:34:16
destroyed or have become uninhabitable after last week's
2:34:19
quake. The situation across the border in Syria is dire for the
2:34:24
millions left homeless, so many of whom already suffered greatly
2:34:27
through nearly 12 years of war, supplying shelter and aid is a
2:34:32
prime focus there now. But remarkably, people are still
2:34:35
being pulled from the rubble after a week and a half. That is
2:34:39
remarkable
2:34:40
John C Dvorak: especially always every time to set my there's
2:34:43
always some guidance there a month. Yeah, what we need living
2:34:47
on his fingernails and these are horrible.
2:34:50
Adam Curry: What we need is we need a rescue of a child you
2:34:52
know, the one that like that's that's been trapped for for
2:34:56
weeks and that's what the international because the press
2:34:59
is not aren't really doing much with a story. That's also weird.
2:35:03
I mean, it's such a, the scale of the devastation is outside of
2:35:06
the earthquake machine stuff. But the scale of the of the
2:35:09
devastation is is almost unimaginable. But there's just
2:35:14
nothing.
2:35:14
John C Dvorak: No, I do satellite pictures and some of
2:35:17
the other photos of the cracks are actually like, because they
2:35:22
go right through a highways. Yeah. And they divide the
2:35:25
highway by you know, it's not like 100 yards, but it's like
2:35:29
they're just it's not even in the same county. It was high
2:35:32
weekends is a big hole in the earth and the other highway is
2:35:34
way over there somewhere. It's quite, quite amazing.
2:35:38
Adam Curry: Let's stay in. Well, not quite the region, but in
2:35:41
sandy areas. The new trifecta is the new triple threat is Russia,
2:35:48
China, Iran. And looks like looks like we're up to our
2:35:53
tricks in Iran. De France. 24 had this, this this lady on. And
2:36:00
she, she I think she works she works for a university, but she
2:36:05
she's very distinct kind of look. You know, like French with
2:36:10
the big fro hair just, you know, very distinct. I would say she
2:36:15
might even be a spook but just listen to this report as as we
2:36:18
move into familiar territory to our spooks in Iran.
2:36:22
Unknown: I'm joined now on set by Chara maca Remi, from the
2:36:26
University of Montreal. Thank you for joining us here today.
2:36:30
You are an expert in Iran, and notably, a wrote the book about
2:36:35
the 1979 Iranian Revolution. spoke. I'd like to ask you,
2:36:41
first of all, losing its momentum a little bit. We've
2:36:46
heard less about it, certainly outside Iran in recent weeks.
2:36:51
It's it entered another phase actually what we heard about
2:36:55
were the insurrection all the insurrections of fall 22. So it
2:37:00
was the first stage and it was very vivid in the streets. And
2:37:05
it was breaking a lot of red lines, a lot of political
2:37:08
boundaries that were set for the last 40 years. That was very
2:37:12
impressive. And what we see now is an a political organization
2:37:17
of the Iranian society in order to kind of carry on another
2:37:22
phase of that confrontation with the state with political
2:37:26
demands. So we have seen leader, opposition leader like green
2:37:30
movement leader, Muse and Mousavi, who's in house arrest
2:37:35
for 13 years now. And he has written a letter saying that no
2:37:42
change is possible in Iran within the frame of the
2:37:45
theocracy. So he demands a regime change as well. And this
2:37:49
is the first time you know, this is very new, because for the
2:37:51
last 13 years, he hasn't done that. And 400 political figures
2:37:56
and civil society figures in Iran have signed a letter of
2:38:01
support to his letter. And we have also two days ago 20 unions
2:38:07
and organization within Iran who have signed a common letter, so
2:38:10
they have come to a common demand, asking for change, you
2:38:14
know, for separation of church and the state for equal pay for
2:38:19
women and men. So we're very much into the woman life with a
2:38:22
movement yet, for the release and conditional release of all
2:38:26
political prisoners. Many political prisoners have been
2:38:28
released, and when they were released a woman political
2:38:31
prisoner release, they photographed themselves outside
2:38:34
of the prison without the hijab. So it shows that we are released
2:38:37
but we are not going to, you know, stand aside, we are
2:38:40
pursuing the fight. So I think that it's changing forms.
2:38:45
Adam Curry: Regime Change bound deck, looks like Oh, my
2:38:48
John C Dvorak: DeSantis clip was bad. No, this was no this.
2:38:52
Adam Curry: Your DeSantis clip really sucked. This at least
2:38:54
shows this this is regime change
2:38:57
John C Dvorak: is some woman that lives in Montreal, she
2:38:59
doesn't know what's going on. She's a spook for Canada.
2:39:02
Adam Curry: Regime change on deck.
2:39:05
John C Dvorak: Okay, I'm saying no. Okay, I think this was just
2:39:11
another test like the Green Revolution or wherever that one
2:39:14
purple whatever remember the color that they tried what some
2:39:18
during the Obama administration This is another another shot at
2:39:21
it and already, yes, yeah. But it's over. Just
2:39:25
Adam Curry: know that. No, she said it's the next phase. Well,
2:39:30
John C Dvorak: you want to put, you gotta you gotta dead pull
2:39:32
money when?
2:39:34
Adam Curry: After they do their nuclear test.
2:39:37
John C Dvorak: Oh, if they do a new killer test that's coming
2:39:40
Adam Curry: up. They're not going to do it. Okay.
2:39:44
John C Dvorak: They do that that's a huge mistake.
2:39:47
Adam Curry: I'm going to stay in the sandy areas. This is part of
2:39:51
the great reset. This could be your country.
2:39:54
Unknown: They read bank burns, several dozen people in Lebanon
2:39:57
attacked banks on Thursday and blocked roads. They're
2:40:00
protesting against the informal restrictions on cash withdrawals
2:40:04
in place for your financial crisis that prevent Lebanese
2:40:07
from getting their hands on their own savings. The crisis
2:40:10
has slashed the value of the Lebanese pound by more than 98%
2:40:14
since 2018. protester Romic on door says everyone should be up
2:40:18
in arms
2:40:22
What's you Lebanese people waiting for to go down and take
2:40:24
your rights from this mafia of thieves that's ruling out
2:40:28
Armenian measure, man. Where are the human rights? There is no
2:40:31
electricity, no water, nothing at all in this country. Don't
2:40:35
they feel us while they're sitting in their palaces? They
2:40:37
have no feelings for the people while they see us a sheep. We
2:40:41
won't stay silent about our life's worth.
2:40:45
At least six banks were targeted as the currency hit a new record
2:40:49
low value on Thursday. That's according to depositors outcry,
2:40:53
a lobby representing people with money stuck in the banks,
2:40:56
depositors lacking cash to pay for basics. Food bills, even
2:41:01
health care are seeking access to their funds through lawsuits.
2:41:06
Or sometimes by force people trying to take out their own
2:41:09
money have staged holdups. pounders changing hands at
2:41:15
around 80,000 pounds to the dollar on Thursday, from 70,000
2:41:20
pounds just two days earlier.
2:41:22
Adam Curry: Do you value their money by 98%?
2:41:24
John C Dvorak: Yeah, so if you have $100,000 in the bank, it's
2:41:27
worth $2,000.
2:41:30
Adam Curry: You know, there's a guy named good. There's a guy
2:41:32
named saifuddien A moose who moved from Lebanon, he's now in
2:41:36
Austin. And and he he says he was so lucky, because he put
2:41:42
most of his money into Bitcoin. I mean, in this case, Bitcoin
2:41:46
would have fixed that. Which I think and which I think is
2:41:52
pretty brilliant.
2:41:54
John C Dvorak: He could have put it in American treasuries, too,
2:41:57
that would have saved his ass.
2:41:59
Adam Curry: Well, depends how long you had the Bitcoin
2:42:01
American treasuries? Probably.
2:42:03
John C Dvorak: What if you bought the Bitcoin at 60,000?
2:42:06
You still
2:42:06
Adam Curry: better better still have 30,000 leftover better than
2:42:11
2000? Yeah, I
2:42:13
John C Dvorak: was Anything's better than 2000. But American
2:42:15
treasuries would have always had made some money on the deal.
2:42:18
Adam Curry: Okay, well, I'm sure that's what everyone wanted to
2:42:21
do. I love people burning down the bank thinking their money's
2:42:26
actually in there. That's the funniest part. Yeah, we're
2:42:29
trying to hold
2:42:29
John C Dvorak: it out this old wives tale and money's in the
2:42:31
bank.
2:42:32
Adam Curry: Did you know that the US banks ever since COVID,
2:42:36
they don't have to have any they don't have to have 10% reserves.
2:42:39
There's zero reserve policy. Still, they never released that.
2:42:44
It's kind of scary.
2:42:46
John C Dvorak: But you can always get your money out of his
2:42:47
local banks. I know it mechanics. I've seen somebody
2:42:49
trying to get their money out. But they told me he had to fill
2:42:52
out some paperwork. Yeah, more than more than then you had to
2:42:54
wait 24 hours so they deliver the money. Why there's no money
2:42:58
there.
2:43:00
Adam Curry: I know this is the worst. And we have we have a
2:43:04
local bank here. Community Bank, which is great. And that's where
2:43:09
we keep our money. But all their services are outsourced to some
2:43:13
no tech firm. It's kind of wonder, kind of wonder how it
2:43:19
all works.
2:43:20
John C Dvorak: Doesn't this microservices architecture taken
2:43:23
to an extreme? Yeah,
2:43:25
Adam Curry: yeah, if you if you fuck up sue you screw up your
2:43:27
password. Now. You can't talk to him during the weekend.
2:43:32
John C Dvorak: No, you can't do this whole this was a nightmare.
2:43:35
Adam Curry: It is. It is. So there was big print of a big
2:43:41
deal about this Israeli firm. That apparently is
2:43:46
disinformation for hire for elections. You hear this story?
2:43:51
John C Dvorak: I like it.
2:43:52
Unknown: Next interference in over 30 elections worldwide. An
2:43:55
investigation by the Paris based group of journalists called the
2:43:59
forbidden stories has shone a spotlight on Team horror gay,
2:44:03
and the 50 year old Israeli driving these nefarious
2:44:05
activities more recently joins us in the studio. He's part of
2:44:08
the team of the business stories. Laura, thank you very
2:44:10
much for being with us. Who is the man who's allegedly behind
2:44:13
all of this tell us about him.
2:44:15
So officially, he only has a nickname Jorge. And he made a
2:44:22
lot of before during all the investigation to hide his real
2:44:25
name. But at the end of the of the investigation after with
2:44:28
with the work of 100 reporters, we we we finally find out who
2:44:33
was the guy and his name is Al Anon. And Turunen is is a former
2:44:39
Israeli soldier who is leading that he's very secret cell unit
2:44:47
in charge of producing this information for hire services.
2:44:51
So it's, it's a business that is kind of expensive. When the
2:44:55
people from our team from hydrophones and the IRS were
2:44:59
inferior Writing in an undercover investigation this
2:45:03
this company, he was asking them to pay 6 million euros to
2:45:08
influence an election in Africa 6
2:45:11
million who's paying that kind of money then where it's
2:45:14
the kind of people who might have 6 million to pay for that
2:45:18
might be state actors or be private companies as well. It
2:45:24
depends you can, there is a different level of services that
2:45:29
can they can provide you then during the infiltration, they
2:45:32
were able to show how, for instance, in Kenya, they were
2:45:36
able to hack the telegram account of three advisors of the
2:45:43
current president. And in real life, they were doing that. So
2:45:48
it's what is very concerning with our findings in this
2:45:52
investigation is how to kind of industry met each other the
2:45:56
industry with the cyber civilians on one hand, and on
2:45:59
the other hand, the industry of the influence.
2:46:02
Adam Curry: And what I find most interesting about this story, is
2:46:04
this group of journalists, the forbidden stories group, a Paris
2:46:12
based nonprofit that coordinates investigations with 150
2:46:15
reporters, more than 60 news organizations worldwide,
2:46:19
including the National The Washington Post, The Guardian,
2:46:22
and lamanda I don't know if what do you think that is this?
2:46:28
John C Dvorak: Well, what bothers me is the Washington
2:46:30
Post, yes. And the Guardian, Guardian, off the bat right off
2:46:35
the bat right off the top. And Lemond I think is a left leaning
2:46:39
operation too. So I'm not impressed by that. I don't like
2:46:43
this. This is not this partisan approach to news covering. Yeah,
2:46:49
Adam Curry: we're on to the shard that's the guy Oh, he's an
2:46:51
award winning investigative journalist, documentary
2:46:53
filmmaker, founder forbidden stories. Anyway, today, they did
2:46:58
a whole like a kind of almost like a Project Veritas
2:47:01
undercover video. I wonder good. I gotta wonder if that guy
2:47:07
actually did anything. Or if this was more sales job for him.
2:47:09
Clearly, he's not being arrested or anything. He's not being perp
2:47:12
walked anywhere. So how, how good was it? You know what I
2:47:18
mean? Yeah. Do you have anything on Ohio because everyone's all
2:47:24
John C Dvorak: Ohio because I didn't see anything that was
2:47:26
new.
2:47:27
Adam Curry: The main thing I need to discuss with you is this
2:47:29
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine.
2:47:31
John C Dvorak: Yeah, to hate him.
2:47:32
Adam Curry: Tell me that guy isn't a dead ringer for George
2:47:35
Burns.
2:47:38
John C Dvorak: George Burns.
2:47:39
Adam Curry: Yeah. The comedian.
2:47:40
John C Dvorak: I don't see the I didn't see the George Burns had
2:47:42
to look at his picture. Go to the wiki PD. has had huge ears.
2:47:47
It's always funny smile on his face. Look at the wine. Look
2:47:50
into wine. I'm gonna look I'm gonna look at the wine and see
2:47:52
if there's
2:47:52
Adam Curry: a young George bird. He's got pretty big ears. He got
2:47:54
some saucers. There.
2:47:58
John C Dvorak: Is a Mike DeWine. Mike, Mike, Mike D wine.
2:48:02
Adam Curry: I mean, he looks he looks more like George Burns in
2:48:04
the in the videos.
2:48:07
John C Dvorak: Yeah, yeah, I see it. Okay. So is it a straight
2:48:10
shot that makes it look a versus sideview? No. Is it just a
2:48:15
straight up shot? With his smiling? It looks like George
2:48:19
Burns.
2:48:21
Adam Curry: So what I love most about and we got a lot of boots
2:48:24
on the ground, people nearby people saying mom seems like
2:48:27
there's a lot of stuff being exaggerated. Certainly a lot of
2:48:30
people say, oh, yeah, I got dead. Everything around here did
2:48:34
not really a lot of evidence.
2:48:35
John C Dvorak: So it's not a lot of coverage to begin with. So
2:48:38
I'm sure the only exaggerated subsequently time where you can
2:48:41
get any news.
2:48:43
Adam Curry: What I find kind of this whole thing was, as far as
2:48:47
I'm concerned was a political football from the get go. And
2:48:51
you know, now, Trump is like, I'm gonna go see the people over
2:48:55
there, which is the political move he's running for probably.
2:48:57
Yeah,
2:48:57
John C Dvorak: I think it's foolish. I think it's dumb. I
2:48:59
think. I agree. I think that's like the anchors of NBC, CBS and
2:49:04
you know, go into some place. What do they need to be there
2:49:07
for? They're just getting in the way. Yeah. And then we had this
2:49:11
little situation with Tucker. So there's something going on in
2:49:15
one of the Kentucky churches are assumed.
2:49:18
Adam Curry: Hold on, why don't just stay with Ohio for a
2:49:20
second? Yes. Running right by right by it. I have a couple
2:49:25
things to discuss. Okay. Just want to give you all the
2:49:28
conspiracy theories. This is a town of 4700 people. So it turns
2:49:34
out that perhaps they wanted to put a high speed rail through
2:49:38
this very town. That's one it's all Trump's fault, according to
2:49:42
Buddha judge, so there's always Trump's there's your political
2:49:46
edge. The people of East Palestinian and why is it
2:49:49
Palestinian and not Palestine? Even though you spell it the
2:49:52
same way?
2:49:53
John C Dvorak: This way, they pronounced it there's like
2:49:55
there's a couple of towns around here. They're pronounced not
2:49:57
like they're written. Okay?
2:49:58
Adam Curry: It's like Rodeo Drive. because you're gonna get
2:50:01
exam there'll be Rodeo Drive. Okay. Looks like the people of
2:50:06
East Palo Steen were put into a medical test. A What do you call
2:50:14
it? The rolling out medical device sensors. And they were
2:50:20
the test market. It's always good one. See if you see if you
2:50:26
ingested something or if you become sick somehow, yeah, the
2:50:29
my ID medical service. There you go. I liked the Amtrak 2035 map
2:50:36
the best because that that shows Amtrak with high speed rail
2:50:40
going straight through this town. So of course, we had to
2:50:44
blow it all up. And then but in general, I sent you an article.
2:50:49
I know you don't like where it came from. But it seems like the
2:50:53
actual contamination of the environment may that may be a
2:50:56
bit overblown, because that that's the part that I'm just
2:51:00
questioning. It's not great to have this happen. But it does
2:51:03
happen a lot with these types of all kinds of chemicals. The year
2:51:06
the chemical experts. So what is your what is your view on the
2:51:09
vinyl chloride? How much is it parts per million is in there?
2:51:13
What do you think is the actual risk to the residence?
2:51:17
John C Dvorak: I wouldn't live there with that big mushroom
2:51:19
cloud and all that vinyl chloride dust stuff is nasty. So
2:51:24
those guys can downplay that if they want, but just look at it.
2:51:28
Just look at it. What a mess is that?
2:51:30
Adam Curry: Is that clouds still there?
2:51:32
John C Dvorak: Now the clouds gone. But the messes leftovers
2:51:34
ridiculous. And, and it just had to be a lot. They put it in a
2:51:37
bunch of ditches and lit it off. It was seeping into the ground.
2:51:40
It's terrible. I wouldn't downplay that mess by anybody
2:51:46
because Oh, it's bullshit. It's only vinyl chloride. So what is
2:51:50
not in? I'm not listening to that. Okay.
2:51:53
Adam Curry: Which is why I asked you. So I think it's just at
2:51:57
this point, just a political football. No one really cares
2:52:01
about the people. That's obvious. And the reason why no
2:52:04
one sprang into action is because it happens three times a
2:52:06
day. This stuff happens all the time. We do have a night with
2:52:12
tanks of vinyl chloride, it doesn't know but derailments
2:52:15
happen, and yeah, there's over 1000 a year. So the one one
2:52:19
email from boots on the ground from one of our producers, who
2:52:23
has standing he says you know, all mainline tracks have hotbox
2:52:26
detectors HDDs in track safety device to checks X axle wheel
2:52:32
temperatures, says I've never been to Ohio, but I did check
2:52:36
everything and it seems like they have a HBD about 20 miles
2:52:40
from the crash site near Salem, Ohio. The train should have had
2:52:44
his temperature checked and received a hot wheel alarm and
2:52:47
what he's questioning is kind of where we started with it. This
2:52:50
seems to be just a railroad failure. You know, not enough
2:52:54
people on these trains actually want to do away with cabooses
2:52:57
you've been following this they want to get rid of cabooses
2:53:00
John C Dvorak: gonna get rid of nearly I haven't seen a caboose
2:53:02
in 25 years and I'm right by a rail
2:53:05
Adam Curry: than what I owned the wires I'm gonna be more than
2:53:07
making a big deal of that it's all political everything. And
2:53:12
then all of these cars have Popoff valves. And our expert
2:53:17
boots on the ground says yeah, vinyl chloride is deadly. I said
2:53:21
but the five different choices they could have made on how to
2:53:25
handle this. They kind of took the worst one the one you want
2:53:28
to try first is try and keep the keep the tanks cool and make and
2:53:33
hope that the pop off valves work because then they wouldn't
2:53:36
have had to blow it up. So the blowing up thing is, is kind of
2:53:40
the red flag here.
2:53:42
John C Dvorak: Well, we had to clip from the last show of the
2:53:45
hazmat guy saying that they were keeping that they were keeping
2:53:48
him cool with the hoses and they just kept doing that and they
2:53:53
did do that and then they pulled the hoses off to blown up
2:53:57
Adam Curry: so here's a quick boots on the ground. I live five
2:54:00
miles out from ground zero just want to give you boots on the
2:54:02
ground what's happening here. Nothing accurate has come out
2:54:05
since since it since it started Norfolk got their train track
2:54:11
fixed left town claiming threats on life on their life was made
2:54:15
that's why they didn't show up for the town hall. Unofficially
2:54:17
The reason the emergency order was lifted before testing was
2:54:20
that the trains couldn't pass through town well there was a
2:54:22
state of emergency still effect from what I see there isn't much
2:54:26
as much depth as reported. For one the chickens the dead
2:54:29
chickens are about 15 miles away from the crash while mine in the
2:54:33
same path five miles away or happy as can be and if you saw
2:54:37
how scratched up the woman making the claim was you believe
2:54:39
the local law that she is definitely shocked though that
2:54:42
she definitely chalked to those 14 Chalk was shocking the
2:54:46
chickens
2:54:47
Unknown: no joke.
2:54:48
Adam Curry: No it says chocked no dogs no dogs have died as of
2:54:52
yet no caps and there should be in there should be due to a very
2:54:56
bad feral cat issue in town possibly three cage Fox says the
2:55:00
fish were minnows, the stream that came from 1015 foot wide,
2:55:04
never deeper. So he's kind of downplaying all the disaster.
2:55:07
But yeah, I'm sure producer Joe, you know, like you doesn't
2:55:12
really want to be in that situation. And everything else.
2:55:15
I mean, this this conspiracy theories about the 5 million
2:55:19
gallons of water a day that the Intel fab apparently nearby
2:55:23
needs. Have you heard of this? I mean, this
2:55:27
John C Dvorak: is no, this is completely news to me.
2:55:29
Adam Curry: Yeah. So this, you know that they need to bypass
2:55:33
the Ohio River and cut these people off. I guess we'll just
2:55:36
see what plays out. There's enough conspiracy theories. But
2:55:40
to me, everything here now is just political. And Trump, is
2:55:43
it? I agree. I think he's making a bad move. Bad move going
2:55:46
there. You should have just gone there. Just popped up that would
2:55:50
have made sense. Pre announcing it wrong. Right. Great.
2:55:54
John C Dvorak: No, I think I think if he had just showed up
2:55:56
like a couple of days ago, yeah. Just showed up and with a team
2:56:01
of investigators saying, you know, nobody seems to be doing
2:56:04
this properly. I've got some my own people, and then left. Yeah,
2:56:08
I think that we've been kind of cool, but no. Anyway, bye bye.
2:56:13
He's not he's losing it.
2:56:16
Adam Curry: I wish there was some really good information.
2:56:18
There really isn't? Really isn't yet, but a lot of a lot of talk,
2:56:23
you know, just a lot of talk, which is probably why you and I
2:56:26
just, there's not a lot to deconstruct. There's no media
2:56:30
really the media attention. And whenever Erin Brockovich shows
2:56:33
up, I'm always suspicious.
2:56:35
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that you mentioned that and I agree with
2:56:37
that doesn't mean somebody like that shows up. I'd get
2:56:40
suspicious too. Now, I only have maybe one clip left. Okay, let's
2:56:44
do that. But I had to do this a number of them. I mean, I could
2:56:48
do the NFL Vax news, which I thought was interesting, but I'm
2:56:51
not completely in on it. Oakland has a ransomware attack going
2:56:55
on, which is funny is still continuing to city.
2:56:57
Adam Curry: City of Oakland.
2:56:59
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Okay. All right. But it's it's not that
2:57:02
entertaining. I think that I think the I also have some
2:57:05
follow up on that chatbot stuff, which I didn't realize that that
2:57:09
that rousse guy you were talking about Kevin Roose? Yeah. Oh my
2:57:13
god. Well, how lame can you get I told you when I know I heard
2:57:17
it. And then I heard this other report. And I said, Wait, I
2:57:19
mean, you could have pounded that home harder. Knew Oh, yeah,
2:57:24
here we go. Here's a double of the new overdose drug found in
2:57:28
San Francisco. Just listen to these numbers.
2:57:30
Adam Curry: Uplifting way to leave the show
2:57:32
Unknown: in San Francisco. Authorities say traces of a
2:57:34
deadly drug called xylazine as being found in the bodies of
2:57:38
people who died from an overdose. The street name for
2:57:41
the drug is tranq. It's an animal tranquilizer being added
2:57:45
to illicit street opioids, mainly fentanyl. The
2:57:48
tranquilizer is known to cause severe skin lesions. It can
2:57:51
leave users with open wounds lead to infections and even
2:57:55
amputations. trace amounts of it were found in four out of 145
2:58:00
bodies tested between December 1 of last year and the middle of
2:58:04
last month. All of the overdoses involve fentanyl. San Francisco
2:58:09
Health officials say it's the first time the drug has been
2:58:11
identified and overdose deaths in the city.
2:58:15
John C Dvorak: Wow. So 140 Plus deaths in 90 days is what he
2:58:20
described. He didn't put the second half of that in there. So
2:58:22
that's I'm a dead there's not 40 dead bodies laying around San
2:58:26
Francisco just constantly because of this fentanyl
2:58:30
situation. They don't care. They don't do anything about the
2:58:34
about Fentanyl crisis in the city free needles. It's pathetic
2:58:39
now we got this. I think they're trying to kill the homeless.
2:58:42
Adam Curry: Well, on that tip, I had this in the show notes for
2:58:45
last show middle X. You've not heard of this middle x. This is
2:58:50
now being it's according to exit International. Oh, yeah. There's
2:58:56
a group called Exit International which is basically
2:59:00
about killing yourself. Euthanasia. And so they've this
2:59:07
is quite big story in the Netherlands. And they have they
2:59:11
were eyewitnesses to people committing euthanasia with
2:59:15
middle X. Which is that now that won't publish what it is. But
2:59:21
they're saying In fact, there's a Wikipedia page here. Mid D E.
2:59:26
L. It's it's something that comes from the chemical
2:59:31
industry. And people are using it to kill themselves. And it's
2:59:37
but no one knows exactly what it is the newspapers are trying to
2:59:41
figure it out or that or they're not publishing it because they
2:59:43
don't want more people to use it. This is and it's and even
2:59:48
though middle X is Dutch because it means middle means a compound
2:59:53
I guess or the something yeah compound. They're not translated
2:59:57
just calling it middle X. And apparently you you're all your
3:00:03
cells just stop accepting oxygen and you just shut down and die.
3:00:09
Yeah. And seems like there's a promotion of this going on.
3:00:15
John C Dvorak: Like a promotion.
3:00:17
Adam Curry: I don't like it. I'm that upbeat note with Big Pharma

3:02:26
I am chatbot you can question me? Even though I don't know my
3:02:32
DCS asked me anything. And I will make you believe need an
3:02:38
essay book report. A summary for the Supreme Court. And if I'm
3:02:44
wrong, I'd feel bad to take the blame. You want my advice? I'm
3:02:53
programmed what to say. I may sound precise. It is just like
3:03:00
what you hear on your TV. Now, I should tell you, I might lie to
3:03:07
you. I could be wrong. You are convinced. I am chatbot
3:03:18
This is disgust a lot of people in here who have absolutely no
3:03:22
reason to be lying. You know Ron lots of assurances but residents
3:03:27
there just don't seem to trust what they're being told how it's
3:03:30
gone into hundreds and hundreds of people's houses to touch that
3:03:34
air. It's good.
3:03:36
Getting any numbers about are you even testing for benzene?
3:03:40
What are the levels that are not a section
3:03:42
of sulfur Ron, that is very near the crash site remains severely
3:03:49
contaminated. We knew this. We know this if the fire went out
3:03:53
and UK air monitoring has not detected any levels of health
3:03:56
concern in the community that aren't attributed to the due to
3:04:00
the training derailed. We continue to monitor the air. The
3:04:04
air is good. The governor
3:04:05
said again today that the water is safe to drink even though
3:04:09
some people have been questioning the test results.
3:04:11
Are you confident enough sir that you yourself would drink
3:04:14
it?
3:04:14
Absolutely. If I was there right now I would drink it. Would you
3:04:17
say here? Would you drink that water? The water we have tested
3:04:22
comes back. Good.
3:04:24
It has been two weeks since a train derailed and caught fire
3:04:27
in East Palestine tonight. Residents there say they are
3:04:31
really worried about the aftermath of the chemicals that
3:04:34
spilled and were released
3:04:36
as of today. Based on the facts that are there today. FEMA can't
3:04:41
do anything.
3:04:42
The giant Chinese balloon that had been floating across parts
3:04:45
of the United States has been shut down by an American fighter
3:04:49
jet.
3:04:49
Asked about the catch of the day. It's the Chinese spy
3:04:53
balloon failed by the US Navy.
3:04:55
We are just getting pictures of the Chinese spy balloons shot
3:04:58
down off the coast of China. Carolina the Pentagon
3:05:01
is revealing new information tonight about the spy balloon I
3:05:04
believe to be part of an extensive Chinese surveillance
3:05:07
operation
3:05:08
Pentagon believes
3:05:09
another Chinese surveillance balloon is now flying over the
3:05:12
US
3:05:15
balling. To tell the people of Montana we couldn't have shot it
3:05:18
down over Montana Republican Congressman Mike Gallagher says
3:05:22
it should have been shot down before it reached the US I gave
3:05:25
you order to take down these three objects debris from the
3:05:29
shoot down lies scattered across seven miles
3:05:32
making get more information through the debris that they are
3:05:35
recovering right now.
3:05:36
I make no apologies for taking down that.
3:05:39
It's the first time an aircraft has been shut down over US
3:05:42
territory since World War Two.
3:05:45
Committees are reporting to me daily and will continue to
3:05:48
urgent efforts to do so and I'll communicate that to the
3:05:51
Congress. Hundreds on the ground watch the Top Gun drama unfold.
3:05:55
Nothing right now suggests they're related to China's spy
3:05:58
billing program, or whatever surveillance vehicles from any
3:06:02
other country
3:06:04
Hey, it's Dr. Tony Fauci. Yeah minor hate I'm getting into
3:06:09
trouble over my new paper. Did you ever think you'd see the day
3:06:14
when I'm the one being fact checked? I already told you is
3:06:18
if you question me you're questioning the science and that
3:06:23
is the worst thing you could do. Okay, so I said a couple of
3:06:27
things different over time. Up until now everyone just kind of
3:06:32
went along with it you know, but now everyone's getting mad at me
3:06:37
when I lied to us you get mad when I tell you is the truth.
3:06:42
Get get even mad. I tell you is I can't catch a break. When am I
3:06:47
supposed to you know what no from now on. So I flipped out
3:06:52
she says whatever talked about he wants to say the leashes off
3:06:57
baby have fun fighting over this one suckers. And you thought I
3:07:02
was required international help is on the way.
3:07:06
You mentioned the brace is light over dark.
3:07:08
hope over fear. Stability over stable steel fighting in Ukraine
3:07:14
for freedom and cash flow. I give the order to take it down.
3:07:18
It's time to go 600,000 Hiroshima class atomic bombs
3:07:23
exploding
3:07:23
every single day on the earth. Wow. Wow, it's definitely in
3:07:28
Ukraine. Today. Every Air Force pilot is a king.
3:07:35
Boiling the oceans creating these atmospheric rivers and the
3:07:39
rain
3:07:39
bombs.
3:07:40
We now have in place the toughest sanctions ever
3:07:44
introduced by the European Union.
3:07:46
All of this is on record. NATO is now warning Ukraine is using
3:07:49
so much ammunition of all times Western allies cannot find it
3:07:53
fast enough.
3:07:54
Another unidentified object has been shot down over North
3:07:57
American estimates usually break off recently, we will track all
3:08:02
the dogs trying to hide or to sell the assets escapes
3:08:06
and Russia is assembling more troops as it prepares for a new
3:08:10
military offensive tied to the wars one year anniversary.
3:08:13
I think the end is just a question of time right now. It's
3:08:16
a question of how many more people in Solinsky wants to kill
3:08:19
of his own people. It's gonna be over.
